The Slumpbuster

We start off the show talking a little basketball. Team USA has rebounded in the 2021 Olympic games but Ju-Ju & Dre give their thought on why they were struggling in the first place. Meanwhile, back home in the states a big trade was struck sending Russell Westbrook from the nation's capital to Los Angeles. Does Westbrook put the Lakers back in a position to compete? What other pieces are they missing to hang their 18th banner? #RussellWestbrook

Next up, MMA Dre shows off his expertise and the guys revisit the events of UFC 264. Is Conor McGregor finished following his leg injury in his rematch with Dustin Poirier? Should UFC fans be excited about McGregor-Poirier IV? #ConorMcGregor

McGregor is making enemies outside of the octagon as well. In a potential Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor match who's the favorite? How does Paul stack up to his upcoming opponent, former UFC Champion, Tyron Woodley? #JakePaul

To close out the show we visit the news out of training camp in Pittsburgh. What type of diet is Big Ben Roethlisberger on? Can Roethlisberger's newfound athleticism help the Steelers win the AFC North? In a fun segment find out which MMA fighter each team in the AFC North best relates to. #Steelers

It's once again time to Bust the Slump and enjoy another episode of the Slumpbuster podcast! Joining us this week is Chris Lebron of the Off the Ball Podcast & Off the Ball Sports Network. Chris & Ju-Ju talk some of the biggest stories from the National Basketball Association including the NBA Finals, 2021 Olympic Games, trade discussions and Lebron's new movie.

We start off the show discussing "Space Jam 2: A New Legacy" starring Lebron James. How did it stack up to its predecessor? Did it deserve the unwarranted hate? Which fictional character would you start your hoops team? #SpaceJam

This week saw the conclusion of the 2020-2021 NBA Season with the Milwaukee Bucks the last team standing. Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo secured NBA Finals MVP with a 50-point game six performance. How far can the Greek Freak climb in the NBA historical rankings? Is he already the Greatest International Player of All-Time? #FeartheDeer

While everything is roses in Milwaukee, there is a lot of questions remaining for the Finals runner-up. Will Chris Paul return to Phoenix? Are the Suns an ascending team with Booker & Ayton or did they peak?

Devin Booker may not be an NBA Champion but he has the opportunity to win a gold medal at the 2021 Olympic Games. However, with Team USA's struggles this may not be an easy task. Is the US team still the favorite despite recent losses to Nigeria and Australia? Is Greg Popovich coasting on his farewell tour? #Olympics

For Damian Lillard the Olympics may be an afterthought with trade speculation surrounding him. Will Dame Time remain in Portland or find a new home this offseason?

We are finally at the MLB All-Star break in Colorado. Who will win the 2021 Home Run Derby? Will the American League make it 8 straight victories over their National League counterparts? Was the game better when it dictated home field advantage in the World Series? #MLBAllStarGame

Joining us this week is Kyle Ledbetter of the Take It Easy Podcast and content creator for Comical Sports Memes. Kyle and Ju-Ju give an update on the biggest stories in all three major sports. Enjoy the show!

Starting off the show we talk the current state of the NBA playoffs. How important and impressive are the Suns with veteran leader Chris Paul? What is the value of CP3's impact? The Brooklyn Nets are the obvious favorite but could the Greek Freak ruin the plans of NBA media? Would a Finals win impact the public approval rating of one Kevin Durant? #NBAPlayoffs

Baseball has had its fair share of headlines in recent weeks. The guys give their thoughts on unwritten rules, the surplus of no-hitters, trade scenarios and potential relocation plans. Can Tony La Russa win back the Chicago White Sox locker room? Who will win the NL West, the Giants, Dodgers or Padres? Will the Oakland A's and Tampa Rays have two new places to call home soon? #MLB

We close the show with an update on the Julio Jones trade talks. Does it make sense for the Falcons to deal Jones? Are the Falcons contenders in the NFC South if they retain their star wide receiver? #JulioJones

It's once again time to Bust the Slump and enjoy another episode of the Slumpbuster podcast! Joining us this week is Jason Aponte of the Sprint Right Option Podcast. Ju-Ju & Jason talk the Niners decision to draft Trey Lance, Aaron Rodgers drama in Green Bay and give a quick fantasy football breakdown of the first round quarterbacks.

Was San Francisco targeting Trey Lance all along? Michael Lombardi seems to think so but the guys have different thoughts. How does Lance change the 49ers offense? Do Jed York's comments about Lance potentially sitting for two years behind Jimmy Garoppolo raise questions? How can Garoppolo increase or decrease his trade value? #49ers

Aaron Rodgers made waves by voicing his displeasure with the Green Bay Packers front office before draft day. Would it have been the right move for the Niners to go all in on a Rodgers trade? Is it likely that Rodgers even suits up for another NFL game? #AaronRodgers

A new rookie class of quarterbacks means a shifting fantasy football landscape. What is the fantasy football impact of these rookies in their new uniforms? Which rookie quarterback has the best re-draft vs dynasty value? Is Zach Wilson the most concerning quarterback long-term out of the class? #FantasyFootball
