Special Preview - Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre - College Basketball Blue Bloods at a Crossroads & the Latest NBA Trade Deadline Rumors

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a deep dive into the Pac-12's impressive run through the NCAA Tournament thus far. The Conference of Champions has 4 teams in the Sweet 16, and they all have one thing in common: bright, young head coaches. All of this begs the question - is the Pac-12's sudden surge the beginning of the end for the Blue Bloods? Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and North Carolina's Roy Williams are two of the greatest coaches in college basketball history, but UNC getting bounced in the first round and Duke missing the Tournament altogether feels like a sign of things to come; Krzyzewski and Williams have a coaching style and overall style of play may not work in today's game. The first weekend of March Madness definitely feels like a changing of the guard in college basketball. Later, Producer Rob G joins in on the action to help Jason make sense of all the latest NBA trade rumors as we approach Thursday's trade deadline. The Boston Celtics appear to be the team most in need of a shake-up, and thankfully the Orlando Magic seem willing to send them disgruntled superstar Aaron Gordon to help expedite the process. On the flip side, all signs point to Lonzo Ball leaving the New Orleans Pelicans at some point in the near future, but which team is willing to meet his reported salary demands? Point guard is arguably the deepest position in the NBA so Ball may have no choice but to accept a lesser deal this offseason. Finally, Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry could be on the move as well, and if he ends up heading 'home' to the Philadelphia 76ers, he could be the piece that swings the balance of power entirely in the Eastern Conference.Click here to subscribe, rate and review all of the latest Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre podcasts!

Special Preview - Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre - LeBron is the MVP Frontrunner, Bradley Beal Needs a New Home & the Lonzo Ball Conundrum

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by paying homage to the 'Washed King' himself LeBron James. At age 36, LeBron continues to defy Father Time and is currently the odds on favorite to win his fourth NBA MVP award... and people are still looking for reasons to hate the man! What gives? Whether is sports media talking heads who claim that LeBron ruined the NBA with the Player Empowerment Era or former players like Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley who seem more worried about going viral than providing honest analysis, it seems folks are just unwilling to recognize greatness when its staring them right in the face. At the quarter pole of the season, it's clear that LeBron is the MVP. On the flip side, one NBA star who isn't having a great season is Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal. That's not to say that Beal is playing poorly (he's not), but his team stinks (again) and it's clearly starting to take a toll on him mentally. Beal should be the next All-Star to get traded, and don't be surprised to see the team that missed on the James Harden Sweepstakes swoop in and make a deal: The Philadelphia 76ers. Finally, news leaked on Tuesday that New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball is back on the trade block for the second time in 3 seasons. It sure has been a far fall from grace for the former #2 overall pick. Is it too soon to call Ball a bust? Would another change of scenery be enough to unlock the talent Daddy LaVar has raved about since he was in college?

Special Preview - Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre - The Steelers are Stuck in Mud & #NBATwitter King Josiah Johnson

On today's episode, Jason shares a quick thought on the Pittsburgh Steelers ugly loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. After starting the season 11-0, the Steelers have lost three in a row and Ben Roethlisberger looks absolutely washed. The defense has slipped a bit and the offense looks abysmal.

Plus, The King of #NBATwitter Josiah Johnson swings by to discuss what it was like growing up in and around the UCLA Basketball program, what it was like was living with UCLA Basketball royalty (his father, Marques Johnson and his brother, Kris Johnson), how the so-called 'locker room culture' helped him develop the comedic skills that have made him the undisputed King of #NBATwitter, his biggest issues with Twitter trolls and social media tough guys, why he understands why Kevin Durant felt compelled to create social media burner accounts, why he's still picking the Los Angeles Lakers to win the NBA championship... even if he's a little worried about the quick turnaround, why he has a big problem with people who continuously try to discredit LeBron James' accomplishments, why he's been so impressed with Luka Doncic and the overall globalization of basketball, why he has a ton of respect for LaVar Ball and the job he's done raising Lonzo and LaMelo, what it was like playing pickup ball against guys like Kevin Garnett back in the day, and much more!

SPECIAL PREVIEW - Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre - More NFL Football is a Good Thing, Knicks and Suns want CP3 & Could LaMelo Ball fall in the NBA Draft?

On today's episode, Jason starts things off by explaining why he's fully on-board with the NFL's plan to switch to a 16-team Playoff bracket in the event that not every team can complete a full regular season schedule due to COVID. Producer Rob pushes back on the idea in a big way - and even Jason admits that the contingency plan should've been put into place before the season even started - but you can never have too much good NFL football. Later, the guys share their thoughts on the reports that the New York Knicks and the Phoenix Suns are both interested in trading for Chris Paul. Nobody really expects CP3 to play a full 82 games, but he could be very nice addition to either squad albeit for completely different reasons. Plus, NBA Draft analyst Matt Babcock swings by to explain why the lack of a clear-cut superstar doesn’t mean that this is a weak Draft at all, why the ‘entitled’ label surrounding LaMelo Ball could lead to him falling out of the top-5 picks, why he believes that Anthony Edwards is the most talented player available, why James Wiseman has the athletic profile of a guy like David Robinson – which should make him an ideal fit for today’s NBA, why character concerns could push Cole Anthony down a few Draft boards, and much more!Click here to subscribe and download all of the latest Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre podcasts!

Click here to subscribe and download all of the latest Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre podcasts! On today's episode, Jason verbally destroys Kawhi Leonard, Doc Rivers and Paul George after the Los Angeles Clippers folded like a cheap tent in Game 7 of their series against the Denver Nuggets. How the heck did the Paper Clips manage to blow a 3-1 lead to the Nuggets?? As they say in the movie 8 Mile: “This guy’s a choke artist!”. Kawhi got exposed as nothing more than a system player who wasn’t mentally tough enough to come through in the clutch, Doc Rivers reminded us all once again that he’s the most overrated coach in the NBA after his team blew yet another 3-1 lead in the NBA Playoffs, and ‘Playoff P’ pulled yet another elimination game disappearing act. In short, the Clippers are who we thought they were: Championship frauds. Later, Jason does a deep dive into the ongoing melodrama surrounding Odell Beckham Jr and the Cleveland Browns, and wonders aloud if Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots may be waiting in the wings to pounce if OBJ ever hits the trade market again.
