A New Legacy; Jazz Up There; Championships & Milestones
This week was a little bit dry as key injuries keep piling up and "load management" situations are becoming abundant - so with Warner Bros. releasing the full trailer of Space Jam 2, that gives us a good discussion for this episode. We also discuss on how the Jazz are still rolling and how why they are still on the top of the standings. For our look back on history, we go way back as we discuss some former champions and some interesting milestones by some iconic individuals.

Trade Deadline Countdown; Mid Season Awards; Lebron James: The Poster
We have a few days before the trade deadline and we discuss the possible moves that would and should happen for some teams - who should pull their triggers and who should not overreact. Halfway thru the season and we give out our mid season awards; and for our *On This Day* we look back at the bone crushing poster dunk by Lebron on Jason Terry back in 2013.
As we approach the halfway through our 2020-21 season we check out the standings for each conference and discuss our surprise teams and disappointments, also with a little lookback at our first day standing picks. The ASG lineup has been drafted and made, but our OTB hosts have their own re-draft and will have a wager - fantasy style and see who wins post ASG.

Along with these segments we discussed the upcoming plans for the All Star Game having a dunk contest at halftime. We also looked back at some of our picks for the regular season awards we made during the first episode. Lastly, for our ending segment we reminisce some moments in the NBA with "On This Week" where we throw it back during one of the quickest peak points of an individual player in the league: Linsanity.

Undrafted and unfazed, Fred VanVleet of the Raptors showed that stars could come from humble beginnings such as going undrafted by dropping 54 points against the Orlando Magic surpassing Moses Malone's record of 53 (highest by an undrafted player). We also discuss this season's first Rookies & Coaches of the month, who's up and who's not. We then visit that notable game in Atlanta against the Lakers where we Lebron had an exchange of words but not with a player but rather a fan.

On our lucky 9th episode we felt lucky to hear that an All Star Game could happen after the commissioner opened the voting polls, and with that, OTB locked in their early picks for the East and the West.
