Rapper Illy joins this week's NBA Straya to talk hoops, hip hop &, uh, hats... and not in that order. Ripper chat with the man behind 'Parmas In June' (as well as, y'know, 'Tightrope' and 'Papercuts' and 'Then What' and 'It Can Wait' & heaps of other ripper tunes). PLUS - a look at the ways the NBA might come back in July... and another trip in the NBA Straya Time Machine!

With Illy we also talk The Last Dance, MJ, and LOADS more (incl Parmas) AND we get stuck into some YEAH NAHs with him.

Also - breaking down the World Cup group idea vs 12-team Conference play=in tournaments for the NBA to come back... AND the NBA Straya Time Machine heads to May 27-28, 2008 to wrap some Lakers & Celtics Conference Finals games & give out some awards...

We also close out with a DIARY OF STEVEN ADAMS to find out what the big Kiwi has been up to.
