Give Me the Ball | Episode 10: "$10M BUCKET"

In this episode, Yo and DJ open things up with a quick rhyming game that goes off the rails almost immediately — turns out neither of them is as good at freestyling as they think.

From there, the guys dive straight into Jonathan Kuminga officially signing with the Timberwolves, breaking down his up-and-down season in Golden State and Atlanta, and what a fresh start in Minnesota could mean for his game.

That leads into a bigger conversation about NBA player contracts — who's getting paid, who's not getting paid enough, and how front offices are navigating this new era of max deals and extensions.

Then it's time for the main event: Yo and DJ each pick one NBA player they're confident they could get a bucket on — and the debate that follows gets heated fast, ending in a challenge neither of them may actually want to follow through on.

Give Me the Ball | Episode 9: "ISO WITH A KILLER"

In this episode, Yo and DJ kick things off with Yowan telling the story of a genuinely terrifying experience he had earlier in the week — DJ needs a minute to recover before they even get to sports.

From there, the guys break down Enes Kanter's shocking ejection from the WNBA, unpacking what actually happened and what it means for him going forward.

They also get into the "what if" of — Nikola Jokic without a signed extension in Denver — debating what a departure could look like for the Nuggets and whether the franchise could stay competitive without him.

To close things out, DJ and Yo get real about what this all means for the league landscape going into next season.

Give Me the Ball | Episode 8: "IS THIS THE END OF AN ERA?"

In this episode, Yo and DJ open up talking about the players walking into next season with real pressure to perform — who's got something to prove and who could be one bad year away from a reputation shift.

From there, the guys break down Russell Westbrook's retirement, reflecting on his legacy, the triple-doubles, the highs, the lows, real and fake fans and where he really lands in NBA history.

They also can't help but laugh through Dennis Schröder getting traded for the 12th time, and what it says about his role around the league at this point.

To close things out, DJ and Yo get real about the older generation — Steph, LeBron, KD, and DeMar — talking longevity, retirement timelines, and how much longer the guys who shaped this era can keep going.
