Heaves, Hoops, and Hidden Deals

from Drive and Dish NBA Podcast · host Justin Cousart

The NBA just changed the rulebook: failed end-of-period heaves no longer count against a player’s shooting stats — but is this protecting stars or hurting the game? We dive into the history of the league’s greatest (and worst) heave-takers, from Curry’s magic touch to Kobe’s one lonely make. Then we unravel the latest twists in the Kawhi Leonard scandal, where endorsement money, ownership ties, and injury timelines raise serious questions for the Clippers. Plus, the Knicks quietly add Malcolm Brogdon while the Spurs launch a pricey new fan section for Wemby Nation. Guest host Chase Bunker joins us to break down who’s ballin’, who’s fallin’, and who’s just letting the shot clock expire.
