Today we sit down with Juwan Morgan my guy from the days with the Maine Celtics. Starting like most guests on the show, Juwan really rocked with football and obviously we're talking to him because he transitioned to basketball. We discuss his days on Mokan through the EYBL AAU circuit, and how he made his way to Indiana University. Tom Crean played a huge part in getting him to Indiana with his development with guys like Victor Oladipo and Dwyane Wade. Juwan discusses with us what it was like playing with Thomas Bryant and OG Anunoby. After IU he had to grind his way to a two way contract with the Utah Jazz through the G League. He went from 0 to 100 in the bubble from playing spot minutes to starting game 1 and 2 with the suggestion of Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley. He was also part of the 2022 Boston Celtics team… and he shares some wild Stephen Curry stories.

We are back and of course I got my guy Justin Jackson with me for this one. There is nothing like a UNC vs Duke rivalry game and you already know our guys came to play. Does this UNC team have a chance to make a deep run in the tournament? Kyrie Irving has been balling recently and it’s still crazy to think what that Nets team with Harden and Durant could have accomplished if everybody had stayed healthy. Also, why is Joel Embiid out of the MVP race and are the rules that are in place fair?

We are now into the second half of the season so we have to make our early picks for who’s going to be in the playoffs and who we think are going to make a deep run.

My guy Justin Jackson joins today and be ready because you are going to be seeing a lot more of him going forward. We have seen some ridiculous individual performances recently with guys like Doncic and Embiid both dropping 70 points. Will any of these guys ever crack 100 points because it’s starting to feel like it might be possible. Also, the starters for the NBA All-Star game just dropped, but is Jalen Brunson more deserving of a starting role over Damian Lillard?

We are back to talk recent trade news and what’s going on around the league. It actually happened…Pascal Siakam got moved to the Pacers. You already know that team was dangerous with the way Haliburton was hooping but to add another star like Siakam takes them to the next level. The Raptors have been making moves also trading Anunoby to the Knicks which looks like it has immediately paid off. Do the Knicks now have all the pieces they need to go on a run?

Today I am joined by Timberwolves' big man Naz Reid. He might be listed as a big but I’m convinced that this guy is a guard by the way he handles the ball. This man has gotten better every year he has been in the league and has helped take this Timberwolves team to the next level. What was it like going undrafted and having to constantly grind for minutes and opportunities? How has his teammate Anthony Edwards not only evolved into one of the best players in the league but become a leader on the Timberwolves. We also talk about his hard fought matchups before he was even in the league against guys like Marvin Bagley and how Zion Williamson came out of nowhere in High School. Naz, is definitely a special player but let’s find out who bust his ass when he first got to the league.

Yes…we’re talking about “Bench Decorum” we all know about the infamous white shirt incident in Golden State. Today we clear the air and explain what this means and what to expect this coming season. Regardless of your occupation if you’re not having fun doing it you’re not going to win. You can see it on the faces and body language of opposing teams when they walk onto the court. Bringing a positive mindset leads to winning and at the end of the day regardless of how you contribute, winning matters. This upcoming season I’m prepared for the opportunity and when my name is called ill be ready! Follow AJ Richardson Follow Theo Pinson See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
