Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones have a broader discussion about the Defensive Player of the Year and All-Defensive team races.

From there, the guys check in on Jayson Tatum ahead of a potential Finals preview between the Celtics and Thunder. They talk about his growing fit within the offense, growth areas they're keeping an eye on (OTD shooting, drive, lower-body power generation), and have a mini-debate about the Celtics potentially tweaking his usage to aid his comfort in the offense.

Next, Nekias asks Steve about a couple of end-of-game defensive mishaps that led to game-winning baskets -- Amen Thompson's putback against the Heat, and Luke Kennard's three against the Magic -- to see where he thought blame, if any, should go.

podcasts@yahoosports.com (Yahoo Sports) — Tue, 3 Feb 2026 19:30:28 +0000

We're a couple of days away from the NBA trade deadline, and things

move? The guys discuss the latest there, as well as give their initial
thoughts on the three-team trade involving the Cavs, Kings, and Bulls.

From there, the guys discuss the biggest (or most interesting)
defensive trends and tactics across the league. Among the things
brought up: a rise of full-court pressure, increased willingness to
send help (or switch!) from the strong side corner, and funky zone
defenses from teams like the Lakers and Timberwolves

Finally, they close by recapping the weekend slate of Unrivaled
games, including a historic outing in Philadelphia. They discuss the record-breaking attendance and what it means, salute the shot making
of Marina Mabrey, and bounce around with some general team thoughts.

podcasts@yahoosports.com (Yahoo Sports) — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 21:20:15 +0000

Nekias Duncan & Steve Jones dive into the Tuesday podcast by taking a look at a Southwest Division stacked with talent, starting with the Houston Rockets, who feature a potentially strong combo of Kevin Durant and Amen Thompson causing havoc for opposing teams.

Later in the show, Nekias & Steve share their thoughts on the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs, with Ja Morant and Victor Wembanyama returning and looking to make an impact for their squads after last season was largely a lost one for both. They then discuss how the addition of Cooper Flagg to the Mavericks could potentially be a game-changer for the division and help elevate the Mavs to a higher level.

The guys wrap the episode by talking about the possible impact of having a fully healthy Zion Williamson for the New Orleans Pelicans, as well as naming their X-factors for the team this season. Finally, Nekias & Steve examine the Las Vegas Aces’ sweep of the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA Finals, securing their third title in four years.

Aces look to sweep Mercury, Southeast division preview & Lakers without LeBron in October

podcasts@yahoosports.com (Yahoo Sports) — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 17:33:44 +0000

Nekias Duncan & Steve Jones kick off this Friday podcast reacting to the Las Vegas Aces' 90-88 last second win over the Phoenix Mercury to go up 3-0 in a WNBA Finals series that may end tonight in Arizona. The guys break down A'ja Wilson's impressive 34 point performance and what the Mercury can do to avoid a sweep on Friday night. They also break down the recently announced WNBA All-Defensive Teams which A’ja Wilson, Alanna Smith, Alyssa Thomas, Napheesa Collier & Gabby Williams nominated to the first team.

Later in the show, Nekias & Steve break down the NBA's Southeast division heading into the 2025-2026 season. Will the Orlando Magic take advantage of a wounded Eastern Conference and elevate deeper into the playoffs with Desmond Bane joining Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and company? Are the Miami Heat able to get out of the muddled middle or will they be a trade deadline seller?

Finally, the guys break down some injury news affecting both conferences. First and foremost, LeBron James will miss at least the first 2-3 weeks of the season with a right sciatica. For the first time ever, LeBron will miss a season opener, which will just feel strange all around. How will Lakers fans and the league as a whole react?

Also, the hits just keep on coming for the Indiana Pacers as T.J. McConnell will also miss at least 4 weeks to start the season with a right hamstring injury. With Tyrese Haliburton already out with an Achilles injury suffered in last June's Finals Game 7, can the Pacers backcourt catch a break?
