      It actually is wasn’t that at all. It involved a lot of cutting, and screen off of the drop into the post. There weren’t and haven’t ever been an abundance of “back to the basket” scorers who were dominant and all the ones that were dominant are most likely in the hall of fame, and on the 75th anniversary team.

    I'm not much of a basketball fan these days, but listening to smart and informed people discuss it is as interesting as listening to smart and informed people discussing most topics.
    I'm also impressed with how gracious LeBron is in these interviews. I've seen him enough on sports center to know he'd give a player his props, but for a guy on the very short list for GOAT to give other players, including role players, the respect he gives them is refreshing. If a player is good at something, LeBron is smart enough to recognize it, and confident enough to give credit where credit is due. That's cool.

    What I appreciate about Chet is his efficiency. He's the 3rd option behind SGA and Jalen Williams which means he gets limited touches and shots. And yet he doesnt waste his opportunities. If one of the 2 is having an off night, he can also step his game up. He's a vital piece for OKC.

    I feel like espn and others, the way they conduct a program, has dumbed the casual fan down.
    The game is so much more complex than the narrative on espn and ect.
    They completely miss the point of covering a game. They don't break down the game at all.
    This is so refreshing. I can't express this enough

      Man I been saying this for a couple years now. They have literally destroyed the essence of basketball.
      The fans are not even fans anymore. It’s so bad that you see everybody now coming to watch this because they actually talk about the game in of itself. The game of basketball is much more than a screaming match. Much more than Lebron and MJ. It’s so bad where they have taken the game. It’s sad.

    Chet is a small forward if he didn’t have center responsibilities. He can attack closeouts, attack off the dribble, pick n pop, and you can switch some actions thanks to his mobility at C. They run ghost screens for him too, and get him the ball in the fast break for trail 3s. And he’s a good defender. Fits great in OKCs positionless style

    The purpose of the short roll isn’t to score! Preach LBJ. Read and react

    When did they record this? was it during All Star Break? or Last Summer?

    Why doesn't JJ use a whiteboard with a halfcourt on it? He spends half his time just re-drawing the same half court over and over.
    Side note, loving the Sharpie ASMR. This podcast production level through the roof.

    You guys should invest in some sort of digital board when breaking down plays that can be projected onto the video instead of doing the top down shot, just an idea for that. Great videos though!
