You Know Ball: A (Mostly) NBA Podcast

This episode I was joined by returning guests Austin Krell (@NBAKrell) and Eric Marturano (@TheEMart) to discuss the latest games from the Sixers including the very weird and frustrating double overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Topics included some of the greatest hits including the Sixers lack of a closer, Doc Rivers weird lineup choices and the need to figure out flexibility at the backup center position before the playoffs. We also touched on D’Angelo Russell being annoying, the report that Ben Simmons is broke and might rejoin the team, Jaden Springer balling out in the G-League and Austin’s controversial opinions on which players he would take back in a Ben Simmons trade. Including some very hot takes! Enjoy.

In this episode Bryan Toporek of Forbes, Bleacher Report and the NBA Pod returned to talk about how the Sixers can build a title team around Joel Embiid (and Tyrese Maxey of course) and why I think it feels more possible than it did before the season. We discussed Bryan's article on Maxey's ascent as the Sixers starting point guard and how that helps the Sixers have more flexibility in a potential Ben Simmons trade. We then addressed the Jerami Grant for Ben Simmons rumors and talked about the weird fit with Joel Embiid that ball dominant scoring wings like Jerami Grant and Tobias Harris create. Next we guessed the 30 players on Daryl Morey’s Ben Simmons trade list and talked about who is definitely on there, who is definitely not on there and who could MAYBE be on there. I cannot believe we are still doing this shit lmao. Lastly we touched on why we think the Sixers might be closer to contending since the Eastern conference appears to be wide open this season.

Our first live podcast at the Henry James Saloon was a huge success! As a reward for your support we are releasing the audio of this live podcast that we recorded during the Sixers victory over the Nuggets. We talked about the game (obviously) but we bounced around from subject to subject and had on a number of guests on to talk all things Sixers, NBA and much more. I will still be releasing two regular episodes of the podcast later this week so stay tuned for those. Enjoy!

Frequent guest Mike Chiodo returned to the podcast to talk about the Sixers recent five game losing streak which sucks but also doesn't really mean anything in the big picture. We then bounced around the league to check in on the teams that could potentially be interested in a Ben Simmons trade. We mainly talked about the teams falling apart like the Sacramento Kings, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans and Portland Trail Blazers. We discussed what it would take to make a trade work for all sides involved. Enjoy!

TYRESE MAXEY IS A STAR ... Or at least he will be. The Sixers are losing and it doesn't matter because Tyrese Maxey Better Sadly. This episode Ben Pfeifer formerly of the Prep2Pro NBA Draft Podcast joined me to talk about the ascent of second year Sixers point guard Tyrese Maxey. Ben was the one who introduced me to Maxey via his podcast in September 2020 so I wanted to get his insight on how he has improved and what his ceiling could be as a player.

We also talked about Sixers prospects Jaden Springer, Isaiah Joe, answered some questions from the You Know Ball discord and I asked Ben about some of his favorite prospects from the 2022 NBA Draft that the Sixers could target in the mid to late first round.

For the second part of this two part episode we talked everything buckets, problems and issues. Mainly we discussed the world of Ball Don’t stop and the calculator boy vs. real hooper culture war that happens online. Next we spoke about Ball Don’t Stop’s ten greatest players of all time, Turn gave his list of the ten best hoopers of all time and I gave my last of the 25 best hoopers currently in the NBA. Enjoy!

On this two part episode my friend from Celtics Twitter Turn aka @SaiiorTurnee joined me to discuss a whole lot of stuff but most importantly, the Shams Charania report that the Sixers have engaged with the Celtics on Ben Simmons trade talks that could possibly (but probably not) include Jaylen Brown? Next we talked about the Celtics and Sixers complete opposite starts to the season and why things always seem so off in Boston. Lastly we discussed Doc Rivers one major strength as a head coach.

The second part of this episode will be released later in the week and will include our thoughts on the ongoing calculator boy vs. real hooper culture war and we will discuss some of our favorite hoopers of all time.

Ain't this what they been waiting for? Sixers Twitter legend and Ben Simmons stan @WalkWithLyle joined me to give his perspective on the entire Ben Simmons saga. I won't spoil anything but we had a great conversation and points were made!

Dave Early from Liberty Ballers and ClutchPointsApp returns to the podcast to discuss the Sixers (who are back and I never doubted BTW) impressive wins over the Atlanta Hawks and Portland Trailblazers. We touched on the massive improvements from the bench, Sixers young guys developing and the almighty BALL MOVEMENT. Next we touched on how the Sixers face an uphill battle when it comes to rebuilding themselves into legitmate contenders. Lastly we bounced around the Eastern Conference and gave our thoughts on the surging Heat and Bulls, the non invincible Brooklyn Nets and the crumbling Celtics. Enjoy!

On this episode I am joined by Sixers Twitter friend @RansomCozzillio to discuss the Sixers weirdly disappointing 3-2 start to the season following another near collapse vs. the winless Detroit Pistons at home. All the depressing stuff that has happened to start the season had us thinking ... what if the Sixers just pulled off a sneak tank instead of killing their franchise player for a mid tier playoff seed and a likely first or second round exit? We are clearly doing so well mentally. We talked about the history of sneak tanking in the NBA, the highs and lows of pulling off a sneak tank, and how hard it would actually be to convince Morey, Doc and Embiid to actually go through with it .... but this is my podcast where I create my own reality so please just hang with me through this ridiculous fan fiction.
