    Best NBA on NBC Moments Part 1
    Jan 26 2026
    B-B-B-B-B-Basketball!!! While that Roundball Rock theme song hits the ears of NBA fans this year like fine wine, what made the original NBA on NBC such a memorable time other than Michael Jordan and the John Tesh theme? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, have quite a few reasons to discuss in this countdown episode reminiscing about some great Association moments on the Peacock between 1990 and 2002. In part one, we go from 20 to 11, and let's see how many times M.J. does NOT make the list (You might wind up being surprised!). Was the 1999 lockout-shortened, scoring-depleted season sneakily one of the most memorable post seasons in NBA history? How much did the Knicks and Heat REALLY hate each other? How many times did Charles Smith get that shot blocked? What was Charles Barkley and Allen Iverson's greatest moments on NBC? We discuss all this and much more in Part 1! So suit up your retro unis and take it out with THE NBA-Team!

    Trae's Demands
    Jan 12 2026
    The Trae Young Era in Atlanta is officially on ice and being re-heated for the lowly Washington Wizards in the first trade of the 2025-26 NBA regular season, but just because it's the first trade of the season doesn't always mean it will be the most impactful one... right? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back at it to discuss the ramifications of Trae leaving Atlanta to go to D.C. for both the Hawks and Wizards. Then we go on a journey of the very first trade during the NBA regular season in the last 8 years and how they go in terms of importance. How many times do we talk about James Harden, player beefs, random Euro clubs, and future firsts in the process? You'll be surprised by the answer! So suit up and trade it out, I mean, take it out in episode 375 with the NBA-Team!

  • The Harder They Fall

    The Harder They Fall
    Jan 5 2026

    Before the big Ball dropped on the New Year, the NBA unfortunately rang in 2026 with two of their top centers (Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembenyama) drop to the shelf with knee injuries, and will their inability to play the minimum number of games to earn honors make the NBA rethink the restrictions they put in place years ago for season awards? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back for a new year, and new talking points about the Association! The same four teams are in East play-in purgatory, but why is Andrew surprised and Adam is not? For the first time in a while, are the Boston Celtics the most underappreciated overachievers in the league? Will we see some surprise All-Stars like Deni Avdija of the Blazers and Jalen Johnson of the Hawks? Riche and Adam also dive deep into potential trade targets for the next couple of weeks and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 374 with the NBA-Team!

  • Auld Lang Syne

    Auld Lang Syne
    Dec 29 2025
    On this episode of the NBA-Team, Adam makes a list for each team's New Year's Resolutions. Do they need to look into the magic 8 ball and search for some clarity (Atlanta...)? Do they hope to have good health for the remainder of the year (Orlando....)? Or do they resolve to get the season over as quick as possible and try again next year (Washington....) Andrew will then either agree or disagree with Adam's 1/3 season assessment. Enjoy !

    It's the holiday season, so hoop-de-do and dickory dock! NBA teams are officially on the clock to see if Santa Claus has the bag of goodies that they had planned for all year long! But did all of the teams really get what they wished on a star for? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, the NBA-Team, are here to see what the Big Gift was planned for every team and if it will be sitting under the tree for them. Why did all the Thunder get was a cool letter jacket? Do the Cavaliers need more muscle on their classic car that is sputtering exhaust? Can the Clippers or Warriors do anything to ring in the new year on a positive note? Riche and Adam also talk about the NBA Cup Final, preview the Christmas Day slate of games, contemplate if LeBron James had a Gran Turino moment against Dillon Brooks, and much more holiday cheer! So suit up and take it in episode 372 with the NBA-Team! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

  • The Cup Runneth Over

    The Cup Runneth Over
    Dec 15 2025
    The Emirates NBA Cup has reached its final destination in Las Vegas as the New York Knicks take on the San Antonio Spurs, who just beat the dominant Thunder, but if a game doesn't count as a win or loss but with money on the line, will it be a spirited effort? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back together to talk about all the goings on in the knockout rounds, from the injury-cursed Magic to the defense-deprived Lakers. The trade market opens up this week, and moves will be made, but are there less opportunities for teams to make big moves thanks to the fear of the dread second tax apron? Are the Oklahoma City Thunder's lack of marketability while being by far the best team in the league the fault of its young, nameless stars or a league failing to promote good basketball over catchphrases? Riche and Adam also talk about Donovan Mitchell, the Most Improved Player Award race, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 371 with the NBA-Team!!!
