NBA Tanking Panic Is Fake? The Truth Teams Don’t Want You to Hear
Is NBA tanking really ruining basketball — or is the outrage just noise?In this solo episode of On The Ball with Ric Bucher, Ric dismantles the modern hysteria around tanking and explains why what fans think is a crisis is actually a decades-old strategy baked into the league’s business model.Drawing on 30+ years covering the NBA, Ric reveals:Why tanking isn’t new — and never stoppedHow the media profits from outrage narrativesThe hidden economics behind losing on purposeWhy the 2026 draft may justify tanking more than everThe real difference between subtle tanking and obvious tankingW...

Lakers Panic Meter: Luka Dončić Hurt, LeBron Looking 41 & Trade Deadline Chaos
The trade deadline dust settles — and then Luka Dončić limps off with a hamstring. Ric Bucher and Brendan Haywood break down what Luka missing time could mean for the Lakers’ playoff seeding, why Austin Reaves’ workload is a quiet red flag, and the uncomfortable truth: the Lakers aren’t built to fully maximize Luka yet.From there, it’s a full trade-deadline autopsy. Brendan calls Boston adding Nikola Vučević a sneaky contender move, while Chicago’s direction gets torched. Ric pushes back hard on Utah’s massive spend for Jaren Jackson Jr., igniting a debate about Defensive Pl...

NBA “Player Media” Is Loud… and Often Wrong — Plus the Cooper Flagg Pile-On, Mavs Fallout & Trade Deadline Truths | On The Ball
Everyone says sports coverage is too negative — and the “fix” was supposed to be ex-players taking over the microphone. So why does it feel like the takes are hotter, harsher, and sloppier than ever?In this episode, Ric digs into the hypocrisy of modern sports debate culture: endless era wars, manufactured arguments that can’t be settled, and the engagement-driven “hamster wheel” that turns players into pundits… and pundits into flamethrowers.Ric spotlights recent examples — including Draymond Green’s baffling defense of Bronny James — and explains why “I played” isn’t automatically a media credential. Then he shifts to the NBA’...

Berlin vs. London Told the Truth: The NBA Is Looking at the Wrong European Cities
The NBA didn’t just visit Europe—Berlin and London became a live stress test for what NBA Europe could actually be. Ric Bucher and Bostjan “Boki” Nachbar break down Adam Silver’s latest Europe messaging, why the 2027–28 launch window feels increasingly unrealistic, and the one thing the NBA can’t afford to destroy: EuroLeague rivalries (Real Madrid–Barcelona, Partizan–Red Star).Then Ric shares a conversation with Quinten Post (Netherlands → ALBA Berlin → Mississippi State → Boston College → Golden State Warriors) that exposes the modern pipeline: family hustle, highlight tapes, and one “right” development year that changes everything—plus why he’d tell 18-year-olds...

Jaylen Brown Says He’s the NBA’s Best Two-Way Player—Brendan Haywood Buys It (Plus: Why Players Snub Luka & the “Who?” All-Star Reserves)
All-Star voting exposed a truth fans don’t always want to hear: players judge stars differently—especially on defense. Ric Bucher and Brendan Haywood unpack why Jaylen Brown’s “best two-way player” self-proclamation isn’t just talk… and why Brendan says he’s buying the tickets.Then the conversation turns into a full-blown All-Star reserves draft, where “rewarding winning” collides with stats on bad teams, and the East gets weird—fast. Expect pushback, tone-policing (family-member status granted), and spicy calls like Josh Giddey as an All-Star, Jalen Duren getting love, and a Western debate that forces one name back onto the lis...

NBA = IBA? All-Star Voting Exposes a Global League — and an American Backlash
The NBA isn’t “American property” anymore — and this year’s All-Star voting made that impossible to ignore. Ric Bucher breaks down why the top fan vote-getters being international stars isn’t a problem… it’s the point. But there’s a twist: the players’ vote tells a very different story than the fans and media, raising an uncomfortable question about who the league’s real hierarchy respects.Then: Ric takes aim at the “free throw merchant” label on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, previews the new All-Star format (Americans vs. foreigners), and explains why it might finally bring competitive juice back to All-Star wee...

Ja Morant “On the Block,” Trae Young “On Sale” — Why NBA Superstars Aren’t Untouchable Anymore | Finding The Seams
The NBA trade market has officially flipped: even “untouchable” superstars are suddenly available — and sometimes for shockingly low prices. Ric Bucher and NBA champion Brendan Haywood react to reports that the Memphis Grizzlies are entertaining a Ja Morant trade, then connect it to a larger league-wide trend: teams are backing away from max and supermax commitments if they don’t trust a star’s daily habits, durability, or cultural fit.From Trae Young being moved for a “discount” package to the idea that today’s billionaire owners treat roster-building like a portfolio (cheap labor, draft-pick “hope,” and controlled overhead...

The NBA’s 65-Game Rule Is Doing Its Job — Stop Trying to Save Stars
Nikola Jokic goes down with a knee injury — and suddenly the volume spikes to kill the NBA’s 65-game minimum for MVP and All-NBA eligibility. Coincidence? Or the latest example of the league (and its loudest voices) trying to rewrite the definition of greatness in real time?In the first On The Ball episode of 2026, Ric Bucher explains why the 65-game rule shouldn’t be rescinded just because a superstar might miss out. Awards aren’t about who we think should win based on peak moments, reputation, or “what he’d do if healthy.” They’re about who actually del...
