7 MIN OR LESS

by ben

Benjy and Yoni talk everything NBA in only 7 MINUTES OR LESS, because nobody has time these days. Of course this isn't always possible so we have long-form discussions instead, often leading to embarassing childhood stories. Topics include:- Who's the 2nd best player ever?- Is it fair to compare eras?- Do Vince and Melo deserve to make the HOF?- Did Super Teams ruin the league or improve the product?- Is AD just a big man version of Westbrook?

    The offseason is upon us, as we touch on a variety of rumors and topics as well.

  6. OVERTIME: Breaking Down the 2020 NBA Draft Prospects, Player Comps (Floor/Ceiling) Included.

    2020 NBA Draft Primer: This segment isn't about my projected draft order, but a breakdown of all the relevant players expected to be picked in the top 40. In a draft that's not considered elite or top-heavy, there's a good chance teams selecting lower end up with the best players, similar to the...

  7. OVERTIME: Congrats to LeBron on winning his 4th title, but pump the breaks on the GOAT chatter.

    You gotta appreciate the greatness we are witnessing. But at the same time, the level of competition in is nothing to get excited about. Listen to a detailed analysis that puts the LeBron as #1 all-time argument/propaganda to rest, once and for all. Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the greatest of all...

  8. OVERTIME: The Nuggets do the impossible! What's next for the Clippers? LeBron is salivating.

    Also, who wins the ECF and Finals and why?

  9. OVERTIME: The rise of Luka, Mitchell, Tatum and the fall of Paul George and Middleton.

  12. Review of "The Last Dance" Episode 4 - Phil Jackson: the Ultimate Manager of Egos

    How the Zenmaster popularized the Triangle Offense.

  13. Review of "The Last Dance" Episode 3 - Dennis Rodman: What Happens in Vegas...

    Bill Simmons got it all wrong about The Worm.

  14. Review of " The Last Dance" Episode 2 - Scottie Pippen: The Greatest Sidekick Ever

    Was Pippen petty? Sure. Did he have a good reason to be? That's debatable.

  15. Review of "The Last Dance" Episode 1 - Jerry Krause: the Architect and the Arsonist

    The Director left out possibly the most historic Michael Jordan accomplishment from the 1984 Olympic games.

  16. OVERTIME: The Knicks are a joke and Jim Dolan is the punchline! Spike Lee's media tour was pathetic.

    David Stern wouldv'e done something about this. Adam Silver better wake up! Oh and tremendous job by Steve Stoute, our new PR guru is hard at work already. Good luck to Leon Rose, it's nice to sorta meet you.

  17. This All-Star Game would've made Kobe proud, and the new-look Clippers are not done making moves.

    CP3 and Embiid proved that they are more respected by their peers that fans and media give them credit for. Reggie Jackson is a great piece to the puzzle, diversifying the Clippers pick and roll options. But they're still one piece away from being unbeatable: a long, defensive-minded, rebounding...

  18. OVERTIME: Talking everything NBA after the trade deadline, including the failure of The Process.

    The final days of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons as teammates are upon us. The Warriors took a necessary gamble on Andrew Wiggins and have a likely top-5 pick to boot. James Dolan thinks he has Knicks fans fooled again with the hiring of Leon Rose and Steve Stoute. Brad Stevens has the most weapons....

  19. OVERTIME: Dolan's new marketing "guru" Steve Stoute already created a mess, as Knicks PR apologizes.

    And this was his first day on the job. May God have mercy on our souls.

  20. OVERTIME: Dolan strikes (out) again! Why hiring Leon Rose to run the Knicks is a colossal mistake.

    I'm numb...just about had it with this embarrassing franchise. SELL THE DAMN TEAM already!

  21. OVERTIME: Sha na na na, sha na na na, hey hey, goodbye Steve Mills! Is this real? Someone pinch me.

    Hey Stevie, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Dolan please get out of the way now. What a wonderful day it has been...absolutely magical.

  22. Should the Knicks trade Ntilikina, Knox, and one of the Dallas picks for D'Angelo Russell?

    Would this even move the needle for them? One intriguing part of this that would be a first: their top 3 players would all be left-handed! D-Lo, Randle, and RJ would make a fascinating young southpaw trio.

  23. OVERTIME: Discussing the state of the NBA after Kobe, trade deadline possibilites, and more!

    One interesting topic we talked about was: Players that make good teams great but don't make bad teams good. Players that make great teams worse but bad teams better. Players that would make awful teams great.

  24. The Spo Show: Eric Spoelstra has the Heat on full blast. Watch out Eastern Conference!

    Jimmy. Bam. Herro. Nunn. Justice. This scrappy squad has Riley's DNA all over it (Get your mind out of the gutter) and you can't help but root for it. Throwback teams that aren't chucking from 40 feet away...gotta love it!

  25. The state of the two Los Angeles teams and the deadline move that could swing the pendulum.

    The elite teams seem to be the Lakers and Clippers. Jazz and Nuggets must be respected. Mavs will be an annoying team for any team to match up with. 76ers have been disappointing. Bucks are playing well but have to prove it on the big stage. Boston will have size issues. The sleeper team in the...

  26. What Kobe Bryant meant to us, not only as a basketball player but as a role model in life. #MambaOut

    In this episode we open up about our feelings towards our childhood icon and what to make of this unthinkable tragedy. What are some of the positives we can take from this?

  27. A lifelong Knicks fan rants about a curse named James Dolan (Sad background music added for effect).

    I. Give. Up. Where's Sam Hinkie? We need a new owner and a 12 year tank plan...stat! Sorry, I had to go overtime, 7 minutes isn't enough time. And sorry for the noise, I was driving but I just had to vent.

  28. Not only is Luka Doncic the best 20 year old ever, he may be the best talent since Michael Jordan.

    We've never seen anything like Lukamania! 30-10-10 for a 20 year old is beyond ridiculous. Is he Larry Bird 2.0, or is he a less athletic/better shooting LeBron? The Mavs are 1 piece away from contention. KP couldn't have landed in a better spot.

  29. OVERTIME: James Harden is a top 5 NBA player and a phenomenal scorer. The kicker? He's overrated!

    Here's everything you need to know about the "great" James Harden.

  30. OVERTIME: Conspiracy theory: Did the Nets trick the Knicks into trading Porzingis?

    The Knicks are a mess, Dolan is the worst owner in sports, and the Nets might have dealt them the final blow to take over New York.

  31. It's time to clean house! It's not the Knicks 2-8 start that's frustrating it's how they've done it.

    The chants for Fizdale's head was predictable given the history of the Dolan regime. Mills needs to go too! Scott Perry has done a respectable job considering who his bosses are, but he has to be the sacrificial lamb. Clean house! Hell, bring Sam Hinkie in and start a 7 year tank process because...

  32. OVERTIME: Talking all things Knicks with the Dean of Knicks Film School, Jonathan Macri! @JCMacriNBA

    Jonathan gives his thoughts, analysis and insights on the Knicks after a 1-6 start. To name a few: Should Fizdale already be on the hot seat? Is Dolan the real reason Free Agents steer clear from the Knicks? Is it good or bad to pit one-year rentals against a young core in a battle for playing...

  33. OVERTIME: Quickly running through what's happening around the league.

    Early season thoughts on everything NBA!

  34. OVERTIME: Reviewing the Knicks positives and negatives after week 1 of the season.

    Fizdale should be on the hot seat, still hasn't implemented a system or identity. Frank does all the little things that help his team win but don't show up in the box score. DSJ has been a bust. Dotson and Brazdeikis need playing time. Knox should be starting. Robinson needs a PG and shooters...

  35. 2019-20 Awards and Playoffs Predictions!

    And of course, some Knicks homerism at the end.

  36. 2019-20 Opening Night Recap: Siakam shines, Zion is hurt, LeBron flops, and Kawhi dominates!

    A great night for what looks to be a great season ahead.

  37. KD's excuse is the Knicks aren't "cool," Fizdale should be on the hot seat, and LeBron is a sellout.

    What to make of the recent comments by Kevin Durant (about the Knicks) and LeBron James (about Daryl Morey's comments regarding China and Hong Kong). And David Fizdale better start showing he can run a modern offense instead of paying lip service to analytics.

  38. Knicks vs Nets: the Battle for NY bragging rights

    Rumor has it that Kevin Durant is aiming to come back THIS season, and if true this would be a major mistake. Will Jarrett Allen, Joe Harris, and Mitchell Robinson take a step forward after their stint with USA basketball? Is RJ Barrett going to live up to expectations in year one? David Fizdale...

  39. The 76ers will make the Finals this year and the Nets are giving away free Kyrie jerseys. Craziness.

    Is the addition of Al Horford and Josh Richardson enough to offset losing Jimmy Butler and JJ Redick? Ben Simmons and Giannis Antetokounmpo must improve their jumpers if they want to take their teams to the promised land. New Nets owner Joseph Tsai has a few PR tricks up his sleeve to steal away...

  40. Frank Ntilikina opened a lot of eyes this offseason, but does the Knicks front office even care?

    The French Prince still has a ton of untapped potential. Can he, at the very least, have a Marcus Smart-like impact? Will that happen in NY or elsewhere? Where does he fit into the rotation? Fizdale has to stop paying lip service to D and start rewarding the players that are committed on that end...

  41. What will the Knicks rotation be? What should it be? Can Fizdale draw up offensive schemes?

    There's a glut at SG and PF, so who makes the rotation?

  42. Why Dwight Howard will be the key to the Lakers success. And yes, he's an upgrade over Boogie.

    What can we expect from Dwight this year? Which Laker is under the most pressure to perform? Is this the end for DeMarcus Cousins?

  43. What to make of the recent Stephen A. Smith interview with Carmelo Anthony.

    Does Melo deserve a farewell tour? Can he still contribute? What are GMs so afraid of?

  44. Steve Kerr was out of line singling out Anthony Davis for demanding a trade while under contract.

    Hypocrisy at its finest. Kerr warns players since he thinks it's problematic for the league if players control their own destiny after signing the dotted line. Maybe get rid of the tampering fines instead since the players recruit each other all the time.

  45. Which players will be moved at the trade deadline? The league will go through another major shakeup.

    Keep an eye on Beal, DeRozan, Aldridge, Drummond, Adams, CP3, and Love.

  46. David Griffin has made out like a bandit. Squeezing out more picks in the AD was brilliant. Love it!

    Can the Pelicans make the playoffs? How good was their draft overall?

  47. The media refuses to give Scott Perry credit by focusing on the "low hanging fruit" that is Dolan.

    It's lazy journalism that has thankfully given birth to the #Knicksforclicks movement, exposing the Bill Simmons types for what they lazily regurgitate: fake news about the Knicks. Talking summer league and our 4 new "Power Forwards."

  48. Are the Houston Rockets better with Russell Westbrook? It's do or die for Russ, Harden, & D'Antoni.

    Daryl Morey shocks the world and unloads Chris Paul for Westbrook, but Presti and the OKC Thunder are the winners of the trade.

  49. Why Russell Westbrook would be the worst thing to happen to the Knicks.

    I'm tired of hearing these fools in the media pushing garbage narratives and mocking the Knicks for not making a move for Russell. Damned if we do, damned if we don't. Just let Scott Perry do his thing. He actually has a plan and is sticking to it.

  50. Why the Warriors dynasty is over! (Benjy's response)

    If Curry misses 10 games they will miss the playoffs. That's how deep the West is. There's no room for hiccups.
