Literally fresh off of a BSE GTWM recording, Mo (and Sam!) jump on to the brand new Call to ARMS Playback room for our first ever live recording.

We swap hot takes, talk a little sports, hand out this week's Basketball Championship Belt, Mo finally shares how much the Viva Hot Babes paid him to do their movie and also give away a Limited Edition Tissot Supersport Chrono Quartz Watch to a lucky listener. Thanks @thewatchstoreph!

With less than a month to go before the WNBA Draft, let's jump back to a month ago to our conversations with Sabrina Ionescu, Jewell Loyd, Natasha Cloud, Shakira Austin, Brionna Jones and Rhyne Howard! This was a whirlwind experience because we were told about a last minute slot to interview them just an hour before. Hearing them talk about how they started in the game and how they're now leading the charge to change women's sports globally - life-changing.

Shoutout to the W, man!

More than a league.

We're taking you behind the curtains of All-Star Weekend!

This is your ultimate how-to guide to cover an NBA event!

On this episode, we give you the backstories of some of our interactions and interviews with the NBA's brightest stars. Who decides who gets to ask a question? How much time do you have with a player? How much does it cost? What sneakers did I bring to Indy?

All that plus this week's Call to ARMS Basketball Championship Belt finding a new owner!

This is probably the most important, most emotional podcast I've ever done. Nobody who wasn't in that room has ever seen or heard this interview since it happened.

This Kobe interview took place in 2016. It was for a small group of Kobe's most die-hard fans in the Philippines. Since then, and especially since 2020, I have been trying my absolute best to find footage of this conversation. Last year, I was told that a drive shared to me most likely had clips from this event. I don't know why, but I was always hesitant to watch it. Maybe I wanted to always have something Kobe-related to still look forward to - like an ace in my pocket. In place of future Kobe moments, I wanted to still be able to look forward to my only Kobe moment from the past.

After his statue unveiling however, I figured it was time. I'm sharing it now because like so many other Kobe fans around the world, finding interviews of him that I hadn't yet seen before is exhilarating. New wisdom to learn, new reminders to live The Mamba Way.

Please bear with some camera shakiness at the start, and maybe not the most perfect audio conditions, but otherwise, enjoy what is and always will be the highlight of my career, and a life-altering conversation I will forever treasure.

Kobe Forever.

Look, when we decided to break down basketball scenes in movies and TV shows, we knew we were bound to run into The Sandman. Nobody in the history of filmmaking has ever forced himself onto more basketball scenes than the great Adam Sandler.

This week, we break down the WWE-co-produced film The Longest Yard. Technically a football movie, and yet there's an extensive hoops scene shoehorned right in the middle. Why? Because Adam Sandler said so.

Before we break that scene down with Andre Roberson, I talk a little Wrestlemania, F1 team transfers and THE TITANS TEAM SOLDIERING THROUGH DESPITE BEING ONE PLAYER DOWN TO WIN A SILVER MEDAL AT MANILA HUSTLE 3x3!!!

Welcome to Watching Film (aka The Zac Efron Award for Best/Worst Basketball Scenes in Movies or TV)!

We're watching film on the ICONIC one-on-one scene featuring Lucas vs Nathan Scott. One Tree Hill had the perfect premise: Teen Drama meets Basketball. Sure, it wasn't as well-done as The OC, it wasn't as glossy as Gossip Girl, and was nowhere near as funny as Gilmore Girls - but to many of us, OTH was THE teen show.

Brucas vs Leyton is the only other matchup bigger than Luke vs Nate in Season 1. Enjoy!

Video killed the (podcast) star! Our first Video Episode features NBA vet Andre Roberson! The All-World defender talks about getting back on the court, his favorite matchups, how James Harden indirectly told him he had made it as a lockdown stopper and more! Props to Dre for being vulnerable with us and dropping a lot of wisdom about getting your mind right, overcoming adversity and giving a very detailed glimpse into what it takes to stop the best basketball players in the world - which he did on the regular.

We've changed up some things but remain a hoops podcast at heart! Think of this as Basketball Pro Max Plus Podcast: meaning you get everything about the game, plus some things about everything else.

Best of all, we're now going to be dropping a new episode every Monday so you can add that to your start-of-week routine!

Wherever you go, basketball is its own universal language that all hoopers can understand. 

That’s what Leigh Ellis, Thirdy Ravena, and Trina Guytingco all agreed to on this special live recording at the TITAN Hoops Fair at The Courtyard MNL.

While each of them have their own unique hoops experience, they’re all about that life.

A globe-trotter. A trailblazer. A dream-chaser - all doing it for love.

It was a Gilas takeover on this special live recording of the pod at the TITAN Hoops Fair at The Courtyard MNL.

Gilas Pilipinas players Dwight Ramos, Calvin Oftana, and Jamie Malonzo talked about where they’re at in preparing for the 2023 FIBA World Cup and what comes with playing in the biggest home games in all of basketball.

That, and a bit about the three national teammates bonding over rice and pusoy.

Taking on the role and the responsibility of national team head coach of the most basketball-crazy country in the world? One of the toughest jobs in all of hoops. But over and over again, Chot Reyes answers the call - for country, of course. 

For love, definitely.

In this episode, Coach Chot opens up to Nikko and Isaac on where Gilas Pilipinas is just weeks away from the 2023 FIBA World Cup - from the roster status, injury updates, and the dream of hosting finally coming to life.
