Odd Media Day Moments

Media days for NBA teams were wild, and Amin and Charlotte are here to give you their honest reactions. They discovered that Lebron and Bronny are actually twins, and not father and son. Draymond had a clever response to a reporter, which led to Amin and Charlotte’s favorite game: Lie Detector. They also discovered that Jakob Poeltl sounds just like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Scoot Henderson is hungry (literally, not for basketball), Giannis can be a bit risqué, LeBron predicted Bronny's greatness, and Jokic has lost his ring—again. To wrap things up, Charlotte and Amin play a game of matching tattoos to NBA players, and they realize one player, whose name rhymes with "Atum," has quite a few questionable ones.

Karl Anthony Towns, Welcome to New York

The NBA preseason starts this week, but we have some big news in the NBA: Karl Anthony Towns is being traded to the Knicks for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo.

And for the Timberwolves, does trading him away actually make the Timberwolves closer to a title? Amin argues it does. Before signing off, Amin and Charlotte pay tribute to Dikembe Mutombo who passed away this morning at 58. Heads up: starting today, Oddball is back with four shows a week Monday through Thursday.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Celtics Media Day and Interview with Father Time

The preseason starts next week, so it's media day with the Celtics. Jaylen Brown has a new look, and Jayson Tatum has a beef with Joe Mazzulla!? Who also says the most Joe Mazzulla thing he could say on media day. President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens is vague about Porzingis's injury even though Amin and Charlotte think the Celtics can win without him, and Luke Kornet is rambling about housing. To end it, we have Father Time joining us to discuss what he knows about the upcoming NBA season, involving Luka Doncic, Lebron James, Al Horford, and more.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Embiid Extension, Tatum Tattoo, WNBA Awards

The NBA season is weeks away, and we're oozing with excitement. Joel Embiid just signed a contract extension, and while both Amin and Charlotte think it's risky, they agree it could pay off. According to DraftKings, the Sixers are projected as the second-best team in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, Jayson Tatum made some honest comments to the media, which Charlotte and Amin think may have backfired. Charlotte is also upset about Tatum’s new tattoo. On the WNBA side, A'ja Wilson was unanimously voted MVP, and Caitlin Clark took home Rookie of the Year honors. Finally, we play a blind ranking game to see if Charlotte and Amin can correctly rank NBA players by their social media followers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ben Simmons has been in the gym, but Amin isn't trying to hear anything about it. Charlotte and Amin commemorate "Talk like a Pirate Day" by, you guessed it, talking like pirates.

Record-Breaking A'ja Wilson, Cross Country Jimmy Butler, and NBA Fit Check

A'ja Wilson has been having a lot of success on the court and has become the first WNBA player to score 1,000 points in the regular season, but Amin thinks the Aces are victims of their success. Jimmy Butler said he won't be signing an extension with the Heat, potentially making way for the Warriors to poach him. The Sphere had a breakout weekend for sports, but we're debating what basketball events should be there and whether it should be called The Sphere or Sphere. The Emmys were on Sunday, so Amin and Charlotte gave us their NBA show pitches for your consideration. Lastly, we finish on a fit check from basketball players in honor of fashion week.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jamal Murray's Contract, Angel Reese Out for Season, 2k or not 2k

We're back, and so is Jamal Murray after signing a $208M extension. Amin feels Murray and Jokic are yin and yang when it comes to playing together. Angel Reese, unfortunately, is out for the rest of the season with a wrist injury. That means Caitlin Clark is lock to win the Rookie of the Year award... but Amin thinks Clark had it locked before the injury. Paige Bueckers has a doppelganger because she was seen all over NYC this weekend and made it back in time for class. Aj'a Wilson is also injured, but that didn't stop the Liberty from beating the Aces. Ryan Hollins takes part in the Oddball Questionnaire. Lastly, we play a game of "2k Or Not 2k" and discuss the ratings for current NBA players on NBA 2K25. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bam & A'Ja and Ranking Clapbacks to Ant Edwards

The most important part of the year is here, and that's NBA in September, not football. Apparently, Steph is a Red Sox fan because of his tenure in college, but does that make him a bandwagon fan? The Mayor of Miami ousted A'ja Wilson and Bam, but everyone secretly knew this was going on. The Philadelphia Sixers might be moving to New Jersey, but would that make them the New Jersey Sixers? Joe Mazzulla wants all the smoke in this upcoming season. In our segment of heat check, Charlotte and Amin rank the responses from current and former players like Dominique Wilkins and Paul George to Anthony Edwards' comments about NBA players in the 90's.  Learn more about your ad choices.
