The NBA RUNDOWN

Clearly the OKC Thunder master plan is working. On today's NBA Rundown we dive into Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and how the rest of the young Thunder have turned into legit contenders for a NBA title this year. The OKC Thunder average the most steals per game ever by any team in NBA history at 12.2 takeaways per game. They also have the best defensive rating in the NBA holding teams to...

Crazy Lebron James TRADE RUMOR TO GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS #lebronjames #warriors #nba #goldenstatewarriors #losangeleslakers 

Shams and the team at ESPN are reporting that the Miami Heat are now listening to trade offers for Jimmy Butler. The usual suspects related to a Butler trade are the Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, and Dallas Mavericks. But beyond those teams, there are several other potential landing spots for the 35-year old Butler. Other teams that could use Butler this year and beyond are: * Los Angele...

Houston Rockets Head Coach Ime Udoka is poised for NBA revenge as he has his team positioned a legit contender in the Western Conference. #houstonrockets #rockets #nba #imeudoka

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irvings Dallas Mavericks are for real and here's why? On the NBA Rundown we dive into the Mavs and why they have won 11 out of 12 games and have now moved into 2nd place in the Western Conference. #mavs #lukadoncic #nba #nbahighlights #nbahighlightstoday

Clearly SGA "Shai Gilgeous-Alexander" desrves to be in the MVP conversation. The Oklahoma City Thunder already have 2.5 game lead in the highly competitive Western Conference. Just simply comparing his stats with Jokic, Giannis and Tatum makes no sense because they are big men who will always have more rebounds per game, etc. For SGA to actually win the MVP, he will need voters to weigh in heavily...

On today's NBA RUNDOWN we talk Stephen Curry: Steph Curry has gone from a baby-face assassin to an absolute NBA legend as he has revolutionized the game as much as Michael Jordan did in the 80’s and 90’s. Curry has 4 NBA championships, 2 league MVPs, 10 NBA All-Star Appearances, and 1 Olympic gold medal and one of the best NBA catchphrases of all time - night, night. Let’s take a look and hear wha...

Welcome to the NBA Mountain - who will sit atop of our NBA POWER RANKINGS this week?: We have Rockets Rising, Ja Morant’s Dangerous Grizzlies, Cavs For Real, Clippers break into the top and can you believe how well the Orlando Magic are playing? #nba #nbanews #nbahighlights #nbapowerrankings #rockets #cavs #grizzlies #magic #basketball #clippers

It's still hard to believe that Dalton Knecht went 17th in this years NBA draft. On today's NBA Rundown we are going dive into why 16 teams actually passed on Knecht. Brian Windhorst, the Lebron James whisper also chimes in with his thoughts on Knecht. #nba #lakers #lebronjames #daltonknecht #nbahighlights

Charles Barkley talks about Victor Wembanyama being the only person in San Antonio who can't gain weight.  On today's NBA Rundown, we talk San Antonio Spurs basketball and get into Wemby and the additions of Stephon Castle, Chris Paul, and Harrison Barnes. #nba #nbahighlights #spurs #victorwembanyama #wemby 

The question is should the New Orleans Pelicans cut or trade Zion Williamson? Zion who is out with a hamstring injury has only played in half of the games throughout his career. #nba #zionwilliamson #nbahighlights #pelicans

It's clear that the Minnesota Timberwolves will need to shack things up if they will be legit contenders in the Western Conference this year. Playing rookie point guard Rob Dillingham significantly more is a great place for head coach Chris Finch to start.  Let's face it, so far the Julius Randle trade has stalled, which is exactly what the offense looks like whenever Randle touches the ball - it...

The Los Angeles Clippers are one of the biggest surprising this year in the NBA. With Kawhi Leonard out, the Clippers have shocked everyone with a 11-8 start to the season. Norman Powell is averaging nearly 24 points a game & James Harden has turned into an assist machine - averaging nearly 9 assists per game. In addition the Clips signed Jeff Van Gundy to Ty Lui's coaching staff. Van Gundy ha...

The Jordan Poole comeback tour is underway. Poole, having his best statistical season, is averaging 21 points a game on 44% shooting from the 3-point arc.  #nba #jordanpoole #wizards #washingtonwizards #nbahighlights

NBA Rookie of The Year Hill: Clearly Jared McCain, Jaylen Wells, and Dalton Knecht look like the best rookies in the association during the first couple of months of the season. While in other years ROTY has had clear favorites heading into the season - this year it is clear that several players on finally getting the minutes they need to make their case for rookie of the year. Top 5 NBA Rookies:...

The Cleveland Cavaliers start to the season appears to have shocked everyone in the NBA with the exception being the Cavs team. While the Cavs roaster which is made up of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen and Even Mobley which makes up arguably one of the strongest starting line-ups in the association - the truth is this is basically the same team as last year with the big exception...

Going into Friday night's play the Houston Rockets are currently in 3rd place in the highly competitive Western Conference. With a record of 11-5, the Rockets look like one of the biggest surprises of this young NBA season.  Now the rumor mill has been churning that the Rockets may trade for Jimmy Butler or Giannis, but in my opinion, I hate to see them break up the youth movement they have on the...

Personally I do not believe Lebron James is really going to log of social media for good. When you look at the Los Angeles Lakers superstar Instagram and X feeds you will notice that they are full of product and sponsorship endorsements. From Louis Vuitton to Sony PlayStation James seems to have sponsorships for just about ever product category. It's one thing for him to make a statement about neg...

So I watched an entire Philadelphia 76ers game tonight. Outside of the NBA script writers penning more injuries than a team can be expected to overcome - the 76ers actually have a decent roster with a far amount of depth - the real issue is there head coach Nick Nurse, who was flat out out-coached tonight by the Memphis Grizzlies coaching staff. The 76ers lost 111-117 in Memphis but as I watched t...

The Los Angeles are legit contenders if they trade for a big man or two. Clearly, wit Anthony Davis, LeBron James, Austin Reeves and the Rookie Dalton Knecht the team has enough legit pieces to make a deep playoff run if they make some moves before the Feb 6th 2025 trading deadline. #nba #lakers #nbahighlights #lebronjames #anthonydavis #losangeleslakers

The Miami Heat welcomed back Jimmy Butler tonight and he did not disappoint as he scored 30 in the Heat 106 -89 win over the Philadelphia 76ers in Miami.  On tonight's show, I dive deep into why Pat Riley and the Heat organization should keep Jimmy Butler and not trade him this year.  #nba #nbahighlights #heat #jimmybutler 

In a license deal, TNT's Inside The NBA will be broadcast across ABC and ESPN airwaves starting in 2025. That means Shaq, Charles Barkley, Kenny The Jet Smith and Ernie Johnson will continue to broadcast their legendary show. #nba #espn #nbahighlights #tnt #charlesbarkley #shaq

If JJ Redick gives Dalton Knecht enough minutes, I'm telling you he could run away with this years NBA rookie of the year award. Knecht scored 27 points in 37 minutes of playing time tonight as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the New Orleans Pelicans in the big easy 104-99. #nba #nbahighlights #lakers #daltonknecht

The other night against the Memphis Grizzlies Lebron James reminded all NBA fans that he still has a lot left in the tank. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar posted a triple double in the Lakers home win. James scored 35 points, collected 12 rebounds and had 14 assists - not bad for a guy a few weeks earlier was hearing a bunch media noise that he was too old. Sure James isn't the same player he was...
