    First in Class - 2016 vs 1986 - Sabonis, Murray, Ingram vs Sabonis, Rodman, Price - The Lithuania Episode!
    Jul 15 2023
    We're back with another episode of "First in Class"! Fresh off a trip to Lithuania I had to dive into the father son first round match up of 2016 vs 1986, Domantas vs Arvydas. Listen in to hear about the center Bill Walton described as having, "the skills of Larry Bird and Pete Maravich. He had the athleticism of Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar], and he could shoot the 3-point shot. He could pass, run the floor, dribble. We should have carried out a plan in the early 1980s to kidnap him and bring him back right then."Two interesting teams, a father son rivalry and discussion of some of the more contentious players in the NBA.

    Jun 29 2023

    We're back with another episode of "First In Class"! This time we're talking the 1978 draft headlined by Larry Bird who's flanked by a great supporting cast and a Point Guard who maybe one of the biggest "what if's" In NBA history. Going against Bird and co. is an absolute juggernaut of a draft class, the 1996 draft. Listen in to see who start's at the point, Steve Nash or Allen Iverson, how to handle having that much offensive talent and how they might be my pick to win the entire tournament.

    Crystal Ball: Breakout candidates and All-NBA first timers for the 23/24 season
    Jun 21 2023

    Did you see SGA making All-NBA coming last year? The Lauri breakout? The Markell Fultz redemption?

    Do you have any idea who's making those same kind of leaps in the 23/24 season? Well, I think I do...

    Listen in for 5 guys I'm predicting to make All-NBA for the first time next year and 5 guys ready for breakout campaigns now that the dust has settled on the 22/23 season.

    I'll go over why Tyrese Haliburton is due for an SGA style rise, why Coby White is good enough to start for the Bulls next year and the secret weapon the Nuggets have waiting in the wings as they try and go back to back.

    Tune into the Drop Step and let me know who you have making their All-NBA debut this year at https://twitter.com/TheDropStepNBA

    Decision Time - Why the Charlotte Hornets are the NBA's most interesting team this offseason
    Jun 14 2023
    The Charlotte Hornets arguably have their biggest offseason in franchise history coming up. The Carolina team has seen Alonzo Mourning, Chris Paul and Glen Rice suit up in that electric blue but they have a chance to add generational talent to the team with the number two pick. What they do with it is the question. In this podcast we explore four outcomes, drafting Brandon Miller, drafting Scoot Henderson, trading the number two pick, and even moving Lamelo Ball for a haul of assets. Listen in to explore why small market teams have no margin for error, which teams Lamelo could take to the next level, and ultimately, what the Charlotte Hornets should do on NBA draft night...

  • The Lone Wolf - Why Karl Anthony Towns should ask for a trade this offseason and Fake Trades!

    The Lone Wolf - Why Karl Anthony Towns should ask for a trade this offseason and Fake Trades!
    May 24 2023

    Minnesota Timberwolves bigman Karl Anthony Towns, KAT to his friends, is a divisive figure in the association. The mercurial center is one of the best shooters in the league, a three level scorer and locked into a long term contract.... But, the team situation isn't ideal. He's being usurped by his younger team mate Anthony Edwards and he's paired with Rudy Gobert in a decisively 2000's style front court. It's time for change. Listen in to explore fake trades where the 'Big Purr' leaves and shakes up the league. (Yes, that's a real nickname!)
