You Know Ball: A (Mostly) NBA Podcast

Sam, Parm and Trill debate who will win NBA MVP for the 2022-2023 season. We discussed the narratives around the award in recent years, the betting favorites (Luka, Giannis, Embiid) to win this year, the unlikeliness of Jokic winning a third straight MVP due to historical precedent and we also gave some dark horse picks with long betting odds that could be worth taking a flier on. Finally we all made our cases for who we think will win the award this year. Enjoy!

To celebrate reaching 200 YKB Patreon Subscribers (Woohoo!) and 100 subscribers on my second YouTube channel we have unlocked this YKB Patreon episode from September 22nd 2022 where Sam Sheehan and I predicted Bill Simmons and Ryen Russillo's Over/Under takes on the upcoming NBA season. Bill and Russillo just released this episode so we figured it was a good time to let it free to the world. Sorry to Joe House who we forgot was also involved in this annual podcast lol. Oh we also gave our over/under predictions for all 30 NBA teams in this episode as well. Enjoy.  In this episode Sam famously got Bill Simmons's Clippers takes exactly right in a video that has since gone viral on TikTok and Twitter.

Rob Flom from 213 Hoops returns for part two of our annual predicting the NBA series to discuss: The Golden State Warriors madness + some fake Draymond Green Trades if the team does decides to move on from him (we recorded this before the news that Draymond would not be suspended lol). Then we discussed Tyrese Maxey's insane preseason where he is averaging more than 40 points per 36 minutes) the Sixers cutting Trevelin Queen (the most important Queen we have lost this year) and Charles Bassey being the victim of the Sixers roster crunch. Plus Isaiah Joe will probably make the roster, yay! Finally we wrapped our predicting the season series predicted Western Conference standings 1- 15, picked our conference finals matchup and who will win the conference. Before finally revealing our + NBA finals matchup and the 22-23 NBA Finals winner. Enjoy!

Rob Flom (@RichHomieFlom) returned for our annual NBA preseason predictions! In part one we talked about the lying NBA media (sad!) setting their expectations way too high for the Sixers and I am beginning to get flashbacks to other failed Sixers seasons?? But this team is way deeper and better .. right??

Also the Sixers new starting line up made their debut and Tyrese Maxey proved why he is god. James Harden looked ... kinda the same? So we talked about that and whether the hype is actually worth buying with this Sixers team. Enjoy!

In the full Patreon episode we had a little sidebar about 2023 NBA Draft Prospect Victor Wembanyama vs. current NBA prospects and players and then we try to predict the Eastern Conference Standings for this upcoming NBA season before picking our conference finals matchup + which team will come out of the east this season. Enjoy!

We got our first voicemail from a YKB Patreon Head Hog about the Boston Celtics so we riffed on that and gave our thoughts. Then Sam Sheehan and Trill overreact to the first few days of the NBA preseason (record Tuesday night during Zion's return) including Tyrese Maxey's insane first half, Ben Simmons return to basketball vs. the Sixers, Cade Cunningham's slow start vs. the Knicks and then we make fun of some Warriors fans for doing the same exact thing that we do when they get overly excited about their young players. I also made a prediction about which Sixer that I feel like could be on the move very soon. And it is not who you think it is. Finally we predicted the GOAT Zach Lowe's league pass rankings for the 2022 - 2023 NBA season while also sharing our own league pass rankings for this upcoming season. We give our locks for the list, some teams that might pique Zach's interest and the teams that will obviously not be included (like one he calls Voldemort) on his list. In the middle of this episode the two GOATs Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe dropped an episode and we tried to guess some of their talking points during the podcast.

I was joined by Daniel Sohn (@SanielDohn) and Young Parm (@howdohowdohowdo) for this episode where we ranked the NBA teams that have the most disaster potential for this upcoming NBA season. We talked about the bad vibes teams to the just straight up bad teams and even worse, the teams going absolutely nowhere. During this section we discussed the honorable mentions for our disaster rankings which included some very talented but weird vibes teams: the Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns and Boston Celtics. Enjoy!

Jae Crowder and the Suns have mutually agreed to part ways before the start of training camp. Could the Sixers be interested? What does a realistic trade package look like for the Sixers? Which young players would you not be willing to part with in a trade for Crowder? If the Sixers cannot trade for him, which NBA teams are realistic trade partners? We also discussed Jason's fellow Australian Ben Simmons' guest appearance on JJ Redick's podcast the Old Man and the Three podcast which was a weird mix of bitter, insecure and cocky . Enjoy!

In this preview clip from the Patreon exclusive YKB Episode, Sam (@NBABabySecret) and Trill go through the first release of ESPN NBA's top 100 list where they ranked the 100th - 26th best players in the NBA for next season. This click bait list is designed to make us mad so we all talk about it and hey it works every single year! In this section we talked about which players should not have been included, which players should have been included, and a few players who were way too high (cough cough Russell Westbrook) and some who were too low (Jamal Murray). Also should rookies be included at all on these lists? Also please keep in mind we recorded this episode right before the Ime Udoka scandal story came out so more on that later ... Enjoy!

Panasonic Matt (Worst Handle on Twitter) made his return to talk about Sixers head coach Doc Rivers getting horny and liking a bunch of porn tweets on Twitter. Which is easily the coolest thing that Doc has ever done as Sixers coach btw. We then discussed everything that could go right for the Sixers (lol like this ever happens) and what their ceiling is this season if things break in their favor. Topics ranged from James Harden bouncing back to new vets being happy with his new role to certain young players making leaps for trade purposes. I then gave my prediction for this team's ceiling in the regular season and playoffs and whether they could realistically hit that ceiling. Enjoy!

In this clip from the very first YKB Patreon exclusive we discussed Tyrese Maxey's breakout in year two with the Sixers and how he can improve even more as an NBA player moving forward. My guest Ben Pfiefer also explained why Montrezl Harrell signing with the Sixers could be important for Maxey's development as an on ball creator and I shared a stat about Maxey's early career playoff stats that made me think his ceiling might be even higher than I ever imagined. Enjoy! To hear our floor, median outcome and ceiling predictions for Maxey's career, please visit the Patreon link below.

Day one Tyrese Maxey stan Ben Pfiefer returned to talk about Maxey's improvement since last year when Ben was on the podcast, how one new addition to the Sixers could help Maxey's game develop this season, and how Maxey can become an impactful passer and defender at the NBA level. We then discussed Maxey's floor, median outcome and ceiling (which might be higher than we thought before) as an NBA player with some Maxey propaganda stats sprinkled in. We then ended the podcast discussing whether you would rather have Maxey or a list of young rising stars and some of Ben's answers might surprise you!
