    Nairobi City Thunder's No. 1 Fan, Wingman Talks his love for NCT, BAL, 2026 KNBL🇰🇪 Playoffs | Ep. 37
    2026/09/25

    We've brought in Kenyan basketball royalty for Episode 37! Javan and Edu are joined by the legendary Wingman, Nairobi City Thunder's absolute number one super-fan!

    Wingman tells us the incredible story of his fan origin—from playing alongside current Thunder star Dima for the Shauri Moyo Bucks, to the tragic accident in 2019 that ended his playing career, to officially becoming the most electric hype man in Kenyan basketball. He breaks down how he single-handedly starts the arena-shaking chants, the massive success of his custom Nairobi City Thunder merchandise line (selling for 4,500 KES!), and his side hustle coaching hoops at Rosslyn Academy.

    The crew gets serious about the 2026 KNBL Playoffs. We address the ongoing stadium controversies—why a team like Kisumu Lakeside is forced to play "home" games at Nyayo Stadium, and Wingman’s dream for a true "Wingman Arena" on Ngong Road.

    Finally, it’s all about the Basketball Africa League (BAL). Wingman shares his firsthand stories from traveling with the team to the BK Arena in Kigali, the controversy surrounding imported players like Ghana Pamo refusing to train at Nyayo, and why Coach Brad Ebes needs to trust local Kenyan talent to get Thunder the ultimate continental victory.

    The I Really Hoop Podcast is back at the OG Kilimani studio with Javan and Edu (Mini LeBron) for Episode 33! 🎙️🏀


    In this episode, we dive into the wild NBA off-season news, starting with Adam Silver publicly pressuring LeBron James to make a free agency decision so the league can finalize the upcoming season's schedule! We break down where LeBron could land—Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland, or Golden State, and react to fan backlash over his Lakers player option.




    We also discuss KD’s star-studded viral photo from Fanatics Fest, the "whitest team in the NBA" Lakers debate, and the massive bombshell that Kawhi Leonard’s trade back to the Toronto Raptors is officially ON HOLD due to an ongoing NBA investigation into the Clippers' salary cap circumvention


    Plus, we cover AJ Dybantsa's Summer League dominance, Madina Okot & Angel Reese's WNBA updates, the KBF referees strike over unpaid salary arrears], the launch of the NBA Europe League, and tackle the big question: Is comparing GOATs across different eras fundamentally unfair?

    2026/07/15
    The I Really Hoop Podcast is back, live from the Daystar University Shine FM 99.9 studios for an absolute banger of an episode! 🎙️🏀 In Episode 31, Presley takes the reins to intro the show for the very first time as Javan and Ethan get caught up in traffic, but once the full crew assembles, the banter hits an all-time high!We kick things off with the massive WNBA controversy: is Angel Reese being heavily snubbed by being named an All-Star reserve despite completely filling out arenas and anchoring her superstar brand? We debate the business side of the WNBA, the inevitable Caitlin Clark comparisons, and why the public loves to watch a hero fall.The global basketball world gets shaken up as Nikola Jokic secures a historic, mind-boggling $359 million contract extension! We break down what this means for the Denver Nuggets' salary cap space, how they can possibly build a competitive roster around him, and why Jamal Murray's massive $53 million a year contract might be an overpay.The heat turns up as we address Stephen A. Smith’s wildly controversial rant about the Los Angeles Lakers turning into a "white team" with the core of Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves. Plus, we cover Kyle Lowry’s official retirement and emotional 10-day contract return to Toronto, a completely locked-in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shaving his braids, and why Victor Wembanyama is quickly turning into the ultimate rough, on-court NBA villain.Chapters00:00 Show Kickoff and Topics01:05 Angel Reese All-Star Snub02:14 Back From Break and Plugging Platforms04:18 Meet the Hosts04:49 Jokic Mega Extension Talk06:39 Angel Reese vs Caitlin Clark Debate07:49 Confidence Hate and Superstar Branding12:09 All-Star Voting and A'ja Wilson Greatness14:18 Brand Building Beyond the Court15:24 Messi Social Media and World Cup Tangent17:38 Olivia Miles Spotlight vs Performance20:04 Back to Nuggets Roster Building23:49 FIBA Qualifiers and Kenya's Miss26:27 Nairobi City Thunder vs KPA Recap26:55 Skill Gap Reality Check27:48 Facilities Arenas and Funding28:43 Broadcast Rights Money30:18 Marketing League Visibility31:36 Ogechi Merch and Branding32:58 Tyler Ongwae Breakdown35:00 Players Owning Teams36:44 Somalia and 3x3 Results39:14 Africa Basketball and Racism42:21 Stephen A Lakers Debate44:23 Luka Toughness Talk45:43 Kyle Lowry Retirement47:49 SGA Locked In Season49:19 Wemby Villain Argument51:50 Wrap Up and Sign OffDrop your thoughts below:🏀 Was Angel Reese completely snubbed from the All-Star starting lineup?🏀 Can the Denver Nuggets build a championship-caliber team around Jokic's massive $359M contract?🏀 Is Victor Wembanyama genuinely turning into an unnecessarily rough on-court villain?🔔 Don't Miss Out👍 Like this video if you love basketball💬 Comment your perspective🔔 Subscribe for in-depth basketball conversations⭐ Rate us 5 stars on Spotify & Apple Podcasts📲 Follow I Really Hoop Podcast on all social media platforms for clips, highlights, and basketball news.YouTube:⁠https://youtu.be/HVWDuLJqVeASpotify:⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/26PbehIlW3KErYJ5cKiwV3?si=bc2e08d749b040f4⁠Apple Podcasts:⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/ke/podcast/i-really-hoop-podcast/id1831444430⁠All Platforms⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/ireallyhooppod⁠⁠Listen Live and Follow Shine FM 99.9 on Social Media⁠⁠https://radio.garden/listen/shine-fm-99-9/9LfEdLvD⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shinefm.daystar.ac.ke⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo4bXMvQDSopqgUwvRSnRxpCaumUYEyix⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/shinefm99.9⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/ShineFM99.9⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@shinefmdigital⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/ShineRadioKE⁠⁠Follow the HostsJavanInstagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/javan_o_ekhalie⁠⁠All Links: ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/Javan_O_Ekhalie⁠⁠Presley: https://www.instagram.com/presleyokoth7⁠⁠Ethan: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/ethan.karis_⁠⁠Conrad: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/conrad_wambua
