  • Are Tatum & Brown the Best Duo in the NBA Again?
    Mar 31 2026

    Breaking down whether Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have quietly re-established themselves as the best duo in the NBA.

    With Tatum returning late in the season and working his way back into form, Boston has found that firepower they desperately need for the post-season. I dive into how both players complement each other on both ends of the floor, from defensive stability and physicality to their ability to scale offensively without disrupting team structure.

    I also look at Tatum’s recent Hornets performance since returning, what’s already back in his game, and what still needs refining as the Celtics push toward the playoffs.

    A full breakdown of Boston’s ceiling — and why this duo could once again define the Championship race, especially after beating teams like OKC.

  • Did Bleacher Report Get Their ‘Pure Scorers’ List Wrong?
    Mar 26 2026

    In this episode, I break down Bleacher Report’s list of the greatest “pure scorers” in NBA history and evaluate how well their rankings actually hold up.

    I dive into the criteria behind what defines a pure scorer, including scoring volume, efficiency, shot diversity, and how different scoring styles translate across eras and into the playoffs.

    From the controversial placement of Kobe Bryant to the positioning of players like Donovan Mitchell, LeBron James, and Stephen Curry at the top, I break down what makes each case valid — and where I think the list misses the mark.

    I also explore the Joel Embiid vs Nikola Jokić debate, explaining why I believe Jokić’s scoring profile is ultimately more reliable and scalable despite Embiid’s shot-making versatility.

    A full discussion on scoring as an art form, and how we should actually evaluate the league’s best offensive players.

  • Ranking the 5 Greatest Sidekicks in NBA History
    Mar 18 2026

    In this episode, I rank my top 5 greatest sidekicks of the modern NBA era, breaking down the players who thrived alongside superstars and helped define championship dynasties.

    This isn’t just about talent — it’s about fit, sacrifice, scalability, and impact within winning systems. I look at what made each player elite in a secondary role and how their skill sets elevated the stars they played alongside.

    From two-way dominance to elite complementary scoring and system-defining versatility, I explain the reasoning behind each ranking and what separates the best sidekicks from the rest.

    I also run through a few honourable mentions and the key debates that come with evaluating players in this role.
