To The Baha

Prime Jimmy Butler or prime Paul George — who are you choosing? Baha Boyz debate two of the best two-way wings of their generation and decide who they’d rather have when everything is on the line. Then we get into Jalen Brunson and the Knicks, his championship mindset, whether New York can repeat or Philadelphia can knock them off, and how opportunity helped change Brunson’s career. Plus, we break down Jalen Duren’s contract situation, Mike Malone’s coaching style and the value of NBA coaches, Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul’s retirement tour, the best brother duos in NBA history, and our three greatest playoff performers. And of course: building the best All-NBA team ever, showing love to the Seven Seconds or Less Suns, and more unfiltered hoops debates from the Baha Boyz.

Did Jonathan Kuminga make a mistake leaving Golden State for Minnesota? Baha Boyz are back after a few days off, and we're jumping straight into Jonathan Kuminga's move to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Was Minnesota the right situation for Kuminga to finally show what he can really be, or will leaving Steph Curry and the Warriors come back to haunt him? Then we get into Klay Thompson and Draymond Green revealing just how close Klay was to leaving Golden State back in 2019. How different does NBA history look if Klay actually walked away from the Warriors dynasty? Plus, we're settling another basketball argument: Derrick Rose or Jalen Brunson? Peak D-Rose was one of the most explosive point guards we've ever seen, while Brunson has built himself into one of today's elite guards. Who are you taking at their best? And we break down DeMar DeRozan potentially heading to Denver and what his game could add alongside Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets.

Al Harrington joins To The Baha 🔥 16-year NBA veteran pulls up to the studio for a wide-ranging conversation about his basketball journey, life after the league, and his move into media. As one of the few players to make the jump directly from high school to the NBA, Al gives his perspective on whether the prep-to-pro path should return, what it was like watching the Knicks reach the mountaintop as a former Knick, why New Jersey deserves a place in the conversation among America's greatest basketball states, and his time with the legendary “We Believe” Golden State Warriors." Al also gets into his relationship with Reggie Miller, including how his mentor used to stay on him so much that the two nearly fought. 😂 Then Baha Boyz get back to the debates: Who takes the last shot in Philadelphia? Who's the best player at every position? How much does Peyton Watson change Cleveland? What happens next for Denver? And which NBA Draft class is truly the greatest ever?

Will we ever see another basketball player like Kyrie Irving?👀 The handle. The footwork. The finishing. The creativity. The ability to make something out of absolutely nothing. Geesh!

Where does Kyrie rank among the most skilled players in NBA history? And when the next generation comes along, will anybody actually be able to replicate what makes his game so different? We're also getting into the WNBA GOAT debate, Ja Morant vs. John Stockton, Kevin Durant's thoughts on NBA ring culture, and putting the greatest NBA Draft classes against each other in a tournament-style bracket.

Has NBA ring culture officially gotten out of hand? Baha Boyz react to Austin Rivers' comments on how championships have changed the way fans judge individual greatness. Has basketball discourse reached a point where incredible careers get dismissed simply because a player didn't win a ring? And how much should championships actually matter when we're comparing NBA legends? That leads directly into the Basketball Hall of Fame debate. Who's already a lock? Who still has work to do? And are we judging today's stars by the right standards?

Russell Westbrook is officially retiring from the NBA after 18 seasons. 🫡 Y'all already know them Baha Boyz are dedicating today's conversation to one of the most electric, relentless and polarizing superstars basketball has ever seen. Russ walks away as an NBA MVP, nine-time All-Star, nine-time All-NBA selection and the NBA's all-time triple-double leader with 209. From becoming the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double for an entire season, to his unforgettable years alongside Kevin Durant and James Harden in Oklahoma City, Westbrook changed what we thought was possible from the point guard position. Now comes the conversation about his legacy. Where does Russell Westbrook rank among the greatest point guards ever? Is he the greatest player to never win an NBA championship? How should his historic triple-double run be remembered? What was peak Russ really like? And when he eventually enters the Basketball Hall of Fame, where does his résumé stack up against the game's other legendary guards? We look back at the moments, numbers, teams, criticism and sheer competitiveness that defined one of the most unique careers in NBA history.

Is Ausar Thompson being seriously undervalued by the Detroit Pistons? Baha Boyz break down the latest surrounding Ausar Thompson, his future in Detroit, and reports that his next contract could reach nine figures. How valuable is he to the Pistons' long-term future, and why does it feel like nobody is putting real pressure on Detroit heading into next season? We also get into the San Antonio Spurs staying committed to De'Aaron Fox, Victor Wembanyama saying he could score 100 points, the value of big men in today's NBA, and Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball taking their teams to France.
