Buckets, Boards and Blocks

The Washington Wizards are near the top of the Eastern Conference with almost 20% of the regular season in the books. The team has been transformed with three former Lakers playing key roles along with stalwart Bradley Beal. Montrezl Harrell, Kyle Kuzma, and Kentavious Caldwell Pope came over in the Russell Westbrook trade and have given rookie head coach Wes Unseld Jr. a formidable rotation that has given opponents fits early in the season. Quinton Mayo is a close observer of the team and shares his perspective with Monica McNutt and King McClure, including a discussion of whether the team's hot start is sustainable. Quinton is not only extremely perceptive, but hip and funny as well.

Nate Burleson made his name as a wide receiver in the NFL and has become a media superstar with CBS and the NFL Network. But he is a crazy NBA fan, a baller from Seattle, and has stories of competing against the likes of Jamal Crawford back in the 206. When he visited the #BBB crew two years ago his stories were dope. If you only have time to listen to one podcast this week, it should be this one!
