The NBA Cup is heating up and the Celtics lost the first game! We think the Celtics were looking a little bored in their NBA Cup game against the Hawks – is it time to hit the panic button, or just an off night for the green? Seems like an off night because they looked excited to play the Nets! We also get an inside scoop from NBA legend Dee Brown, who talks about this year's Celtics squad and reflects on his career after receiving the Basketball Legacy Award at The Tradition at the Sports Museum. But the action isn't just on the Celtics front – there's a lot happening around the league! From Victor Wembanyama's jaw-dropping 50-point game to Giannis Antetokounmpo going off for 59, the NBA has been full of fireworks. We also break down Karl-Anthony Towns’ impressive performance that ended in a tough loss, LeBron James’ back-to-back triple-doubles, and the close calls for Donovan Mitchell and Jayson Tatum nearly recording triple-doubles of their own. Plus, we can't ignore the Rookie of the Year race with Zach Edey and Jared McCain showing out! The crew also tackles NBA fashion in Wicked or Kick It, where they judge the latest NBA outfits—who’s wicked and who gets kicked to the curb? This week, we break down the styles of Darius Garland, Bruce Brown, and Tyrese Haliburton. As if that wasn’t enough, we take a quick 3-minute detour into the one game you can’t miss on NBA League Pass this week! Tae's got his eye on the Nuggets vs. Thunder on Sunday night, while Trav is all about the Lakers vs. Spurs tonight. Finally, we discuss the ongoing drama between Jaylen Brown and Nike, after the brand took a subtle shot at him in their tweet about Giannis’ 59-point game. It’s heating up!
