Seth and Tray discuss the best players who ran point in the 80's... From Magic and Isiah, to Stockton and Dennis Johnson. They dive deep into what takes a point guard from good to great, and why some guys made the Top-5 of the decade and other stars were left off the list. Seth goes into detail on what made Derek Harper stand out on defense, and Tray gets into why he will always support Norm Nixon. They also discuss Micheal Ray Richardson, who passed away after we recorded the show, and why his 4 All-Star appearances deserve a ton of respect. Prayers to Micheal Ray and his family, rest in peace.

Offense wins games. Defense wins championships. The axiom, like most general rules in life, rings true. The only thing more impressive than putting the ball into the basket in spectacular fashion is stopping an elite athlete from putting the ball into the basket in spectacular fashion. Defensive players are the specialist’s specialist. They study tendencies. Traits. Behaviors. Memorize opponent’s playbooks. They overview performances to a tee to devise a strategic counter-attack. Whether they’re picking a player up at the baseline for 94 feet, or establishing physical dominance at the rim, the defensive standouts throughout NBA history are some of the most unique athletes known to man — wired differently than most. 

Today we have the HONOR of speaking with a player from the grueling 80’s era who hustled his way into the Hall of Fame by being excellent at his defensive craft, and served as the paradigm of guards winning the Defensive Player of the Year Award throughout that decade, Michael Cooper!! You do not want to miss the gems Coach Coop imparts from his playing days, and the insights from his 2025 Big3 Championship winning team. This episode is a real Westside Connection - tune in!

There is a fraternity within the NBA fraternity comprised of a particular breed of relentless, scrappy individuals who have made a way out of seemingly no way. These men are the Swiss Army Knives of the league, readily adaptable by any means necessary to contribute to their ball club however needed. This is a unique club that our very own host, Seth Curry, is a proud member of— a distinction he touts as a badge of honor rather than a marker of shame. This elite club is the Mud Boyz, more commonly known as undrafted players in the league. They started from the bottom and are STILL here! Today, we sit with special guest C.J. Watson to discuss the most notable players who went undrafted throughout the 2000’s. You won’t want to miss this discussion!

Today we’re showing love to the Big Dawgs who played in one of the last truly physical eras of the NBA. These giants had imposing physiques and were not afraid to turn their backs to the basket to overpower and demoralize opponents. Sure, they could shoot too and had range, but this elite list that we’re discussing today made their hay doing the dirty work and sending an overt message to whomever they faced: YOU CANNOT STOP ME. Tune in to find out which power forwards we think did it best.

What does it mean to have a “handle” on a situation? It means you’re in absolute and steady control, despite any pressure that is applied. It means you understand what is required to advance, and you’re effective enough to convert on your progress. It means you have flow. Today, we’re gonna unpack the improvisational brilliance of maestros who played the blue notes of the scales. We’re excited to have a guest who has been flowin’ since the Mix Tape Era: Austin Rivers himself. Tap in to find out who indeed had the Greatest Handles of the 2010’s.

Special thanks to Scott Rochelle and the NBRPA
