Once Upon a Dribble Podcast 🎙️

Just a crazy performance. I'd be sick if I were a Nets fan, but man the energy in the Palace with that gong chiming and the train whistle blowing after each successive make is just insane

Looking for something to listen to as you slog through a Friday in the office? Bada bing, bada boom! That SUPER in depth look into the 1990s Utah Jazz has arrived! Catch “No Country For Old Jazzmen”, on YouTube (link), Spotify, or Apple! @OnceDribble youtu.be/tw1Gv9RVx0Y?si…

2019-20 OKC Thunder Backcourt Squad Chris Paul: 17.6 pts, 5.0 reb, 6.7 ast, 49/37/91 splits (61% ts, 108 ts+) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 19.0 pts, 5.9 reb, 3.3 ast, 47/35/81 (56.8% ts, 101 ts+) Dennis Schroder: 18.9 pts, 3.6 reb, 4.0 ast, 47/39/84 (57.5% ts, 102 ts+)

Happy 44th to Zach Randolph! Z-Bo was an All-Star in 2010 + 2013. He was also 3rd Team All-NBA in 2011. He was also Most Improved for Portland in 2004. How consistent was he? Every night from '04-11 (544 games) you could count on 22.4 pts and 11.6 reb (per 75). Like clockwork.

Spencer Haywood had a fascinating career arc - Won MVP as a rookie. 30.0 pts/19.5 reb and almost gets Denver to the Finals - Makes the NBA shift in '71. He's All-NBA from '72-75 (top 5 MVP in '72) - Plays a lesser yet vital role starting at PF for the '80 Lakers and gets his ring

Having a tough time with the heat this summer? Worry not, @CJRealHoops1 and @MediJo20 are hitting the studio soon to cool you off with the frost of the Wasatch Mountains and an episode on one of the greatest runs any team has made that didn't result in a title. COMING SOON!

One of the most ludicrous games of the '90s. Feb. 1998, the 10-39 Mavs were visiting the 35-13 Pacers. The Mavs pulled off a stunning upset 85-82... in 2OT. Yes, 85-82 in double OT. A 24-year old Michael Finley scored 32 points (on 13/36 fg) and made the buzzer-beating 3P.

ICYMI!!

Happy Draft Day! NEW EPISODE🚨 @MediJo20 brings you part 9 of our Conference Finals MVP series, this episode focusing on the Eastern Conference from 2010-21. Check it out and see if you agree with our picks! open.spotify.com/episode/5lx5pM…

Magic Johnson in the 1987 playoffs avg'd (per 75 possessions): 21.1 PTS, 7.5 REB, 11.8 AST and just 2.7 TOV He also had a TS% of 60.7 Admittedly LA didn't play great defenses in this PS run but this is still ridiculously elite offensive production, he was just peak of powers

This was Bird's 12th career playoff game. After this game his playoff averages read 20.9 PPG/11.8 RPG/5.5 APG The only other two players in NBA history to average 20/11/5 through their first 12 career playoff games are: Oscar Robertson (1962, 1963) Nikola Jokic (2019) CRAZY!

What made peak Yao special (23/10 from ‘06-08): - Elite touch + shooting ability at 7’6” - Patient in the post, excellent footwork - underrated facilitator - huge rim deterrent Such a fun and legitimately good player

If you want to hear a brief dive into Dawkins, here’s a quick episode @MediJo20 did a few years ago on Chocolate Thunder himself! open.spotify.com/episode/7hlB0C…

Fun Fact: Andre Iguodala has 5 buzzer beaters to his name in his career, one of only 11 guys who have made that many in NBA history. Only LeBron, MJ, Kobe, Pierce and Joe Johnson have more than 5. Was Max Kellerman on to something?

From 2012-17 Marc Gasol averaged 4.4 ast per 75 (10.1 assist points) This was 2nd amongst all Centers to log at least 10k minutes during this span (only behind Joakim Noah) Just beautiful

Players with playoff career averages of at least 18 PPG, 5 RPG, 8 APG (min. 20 GP) - Magic Johnson: 19.5/7.7/12.7 (190 GP) - Oscar Robertson: 22.2/6.7/8.9 (86 GP) - Bob Cousy: 18.5/5.0/8.6 (109 GP) - Tyrese Haliburton:18.7/5.2/8.9 (30 GP) - Ja Morant: 26.0/6.2/8.1 (22 GP)
