In this episode of The AM Basketball Breakdown, Adam recaps the biggest storylines from the first quarter of the 2026 NBA season. We look at OKC’s dominant title defense, Detroit’s rise to the top of the Eastern Conference, and the fallout from Nico Harrison’s surprising decision to trade Luka Dončić.

We break down early standouts from the highly regarded 2025 rookie class — including Cooper Flagg, Kon Kneuppel, VJ Edgecombe, Cedric Coward, and Derik Queen — and check in on the Celtics, Nuggets, and Rockets as they reshape their rotations and supporting casts.

Off the court, we explore the NBA gambling probe, Ja Morant’s latest controversy, and what Michael Jordan’s recent NBC interviews reveal about excellence and today’s league.

A great deal has already unfolded this season, and there is much more to come. Tune in for a full first-quarter snapshot before we revisit everything at midseason.

In this episode, Adam is joined by his friend Kevin Randall (dacaptain37) to preview the upcoming NBA season. They discuss the transition of Inside the NBA to ESPN, Oklahoma City’s title defense, which teams have a realistic chance to challenge them, and predictions for MVP and the 2026 NBA champion.

Basketball season is almost here! With the schedule just released, Adam Miller breaks down the NBA League Pass teams he will be keeping an eye on this year.

For this episode, Adam sets some rules: no teams on more than 20 percent of national television games. From there, he selects two from each conference that are worth tuning in for this season.

Along the way, he shares why each team made the list, what he will be watching for, and the storylines that make them interesting League Pass teams.

This years Finals taught us a lot — not just about who won, but how teams are being built. And maybe more importantly, it reminded us why people care in the first place.

For folks here in Indiana, this Pacers run was not just about the scoreboard. It brought people back. Text threads lit up. Old fans tuned back in. And across Indiana, you could feel basketball come alive again.

In this episode of the AM Basketball Breakdown, I walk through what this Finals really meant — what it taught us about the Thunder, the Pacers, and the direction of the league.

The 2025 NBA Draft is here, and with the Mavericks and Spurs jumping up the board, all eyes are on Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper at the top.

Ric Hall joins the show to break down who could rise, who might fall short, and which prospects outside the lottery could end up being steals.

From shot-making wings like Kon Kneuppel to late bloomers like Cedric Coward, and even second-round sleepers like Maxime Reynaud and Rasheer Fleming, this episode covers it all.

Plus, Ric and Adam share the one player they’re rooting hardest for, the take they’re standing by, and the storyline from this class that could shape the NBA five years from now.

Adam Miller is joined by his good friend Jaden Shroyer for the 2nd Annual Father’s Day Episode.

Whether you are spending time with your dad or reflecting on the role of father figures, this conversation offers something meaningful and relatable.

If you have not already, take a moment to wish your dad a Happy Father’s Day. He probably deserves it.
