Greatest Defenders of the 80's Featuring Michael Cooper
Offense wins games. Defense wins championships. The axiom, like most general rules in life, rings true. The only thing more impressive than putting the ball into the basket in spectacular fashion is stopping an elite athlete from putting the ball into the basket in spectacular fashion. Defensive players are the specialist’s specialist. They study tendencies. Traits. Behaviors. Memorize opponent’s playbooks. They overview performances to a tee to devise a strategic counter-attack. Whether they’re picking a player up at the baseline for 94 feet, or establishing physical dominance at the rim, the defensive standouts throughout NBA history are some of the most unique athletes known to man — wired differently than most. Today we have the HONOR of speaking with a player from the grueling 80’s era who hustled his way into the Hall of Fame by being excellent at his defensive craft, and served as the paradigm of guards winning the Defensive Player of the Year Award throughout that decade, Michael Cooper!! You do not want to miss the gems Coach Coop imparts from his playing days, and the insights from his 2025 Big3 Championship winning team.

Greatest Undrafted Players of the 2000’s Featuring C.J. Watson
There is a fraternity within the NBA fraternity comprised of a particular breed of relentless, scrappy individuals who have made a way out of seemingly no way. These men are the Swiss Army Knives of the league, readily adaptable by any means necessary to contribute to their ball club however needed. This is a unique club that our very own host, Seth Curry, is a proud member of— a distinction he touts as a badge of honor rather than a marker of shame. This elite club is the Mud Boyz, more commonly known as undrafted players in the league. They started from the bottom and are STILL here! Today, we sit with special guest C.J. Watson to discuss the most notable players who went undrafted throughout the 2000’s. You won’t want to miss this discussion!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we’re showing love to the Big Dawgs who played in one of the last truly physical eras of the NBA.

Sure, they could shoot too and had range, but this elite list that we’re discussing today made their hay doing the dirty work and sending an overt message to whomever they faced: YOU CANNOT STOP ME. Tune in to find out which power forwards we think did it best.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
