The Professor and the Point Guard is a father-and-son conversation about the NBA, where basketball meets banter. One host is a professor who loves strategy, history, and the big ideas behind the game. The other is a sharp, basketball-obsessed point guard who knows the league inside and out—and isn't afraid to call his dad's takes washed. Together, they break down the latest games, debate stars and sleepers, revisit classic moments, and explore what makes basketball the most fascinating sport in the world.

    Pilot -- Eastern Conference Power Rankings

    In this first episode, we learn what Nico thinks of his Dad's day job (hint: not impressed), and then launch into some post free agency Eastern Conference Power Rankings. There are some surprises -- Giannis and the Heat are not where you would think, and one of us is a lot higher on the Sixers than the other. We close with some summer league takes and argue that Doris Burke is criminally underrated.
