Casual, fun conversations about relevant basketball stories with some guests joining in on the ride. Someone once described themselves as a "professional fan" and I really like that. At the end of the day I'm just a fan, but I genuinely really enjoy the game of basketball and the stories and personalities that come with it. I've played, worked at the NBL for 7 years and above all have just watched a lot of basketball to understand the game decently. This is my outlet to it.

    Over 35? Who Cares, Steph Curry And Kevin Durant Are Still That Good

    We'll call them the ageless stars because right now Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and a few others couldn't care less if they are 35+. #nba #basketball

    Ryan Rollins Has Introduced Himself To The League

    Where did Ryan Rollins come from? I look up and he's averaging 16.7 PPG, shooting the hell out of it and is looking almost like Milwaukee's second best player. Now that's a bit much but as a clear Most Improved Player leader or at least top 2, who knows what he can become.

    Zach LaVine, One Of The Smoothest Scorers Ever

    Hats off to Zach LaVine, not only for the journey that he's been on in the NBA but for, at the time of recording, averaging 29.5 PPG on 50/40/90 splits. #nba

    Victor Wembanyama Has Put The Entire NBA On Notice

    Wemby has come out this season and looked stupidly good. His Spurs are 4-0 and his averages are 31 PPG, 13.75 RPG, 4.75 BPG - that's all you need to know. And the fact that he's making the most ridiculous plays happen at 7'4, that too.

    Forcing Myself To Pick NBA Award Winners

    The season is here so it's only right to force myself to predict the award winners before the season begins. Yes some may be obvious but there are some wildcards in here as well.
