Full Court Press the Podcast

Throughout the decade of the 2010s, the NBA and the game of basketball were pushing forth a new style of play: small ball and the 3-pointer. The Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, and the Toronto Raptors, took advantage of their backcourt play during this period, which solidified a championship for their respective franchise. Just when you thought the center position or the "big man" disappeared, two 7'ft goliaths emerged, and have been changing the way basketball is being played. Join Boni and Felix as the Toronto natives give an in-depth analysis of two centers taking the league by storm: Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic.

• Positive Affirmation: When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change - Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender / The Legend of Korra.
  
  
• Which trip do you prefer: Kevin Durant with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson OR James Harden and Kyrie Irving?
  
• Felix: gives insight on the biography of Joel Embiid and how he's becoming one of the more popular names in the NBA today.
  
• Boni: gives insight on the underdog story that is Nikola Jokic and how he, at the center position, is continuing the dialogue of what the "big man" represents in the NBA.
  
• Boni & Felix end the episode by playing a board game-inspired classic, 5 Second Rule: Sports Edition

So James Harden is on the Brooklyn Nets, Victor Oladipo is on the Houston Rockets, the Cleveland Cavaliers have skyscrapers as a roster, and Caris LeVert is an Indiana Pacer. However, LeVert discovered he has a small mass in his kidney upon his trade to Indiana from Brooklyn. Whether this mass in his kidney is benign or malignant (results not in as of yet), a player's health is no joke to an opposing fan.
As of January 26, 2021 - - [Source Shams Charania: Caris LeVert had surgery to treat kidney cancer and will make a full recovery].
As basketball fanatics, we have seen our fair share of players whose careers were cut short due to injuries. To imagine what their careers would have been like if they were healthy from the get-go, will always remain an enigma to basketball addicts and fans who appreciate the game. Boni and Felix will discuss their starting lineup consisting of injured players from Bill Walton to Derrick Rose. Join the two Toronto natives, as they give insight on their lineup choices and end the episode on a new segment called "Roast or Boast."

• Boni and Felix discuss their personal injuries thus far
  
• Everything James Harden: his trade to the Brooklyn Nets, his departure from the Houston Rockets, the chemistry of the Nets: Kevin Durant
  
• Do you think the Brooklyn Nets win the championship this NBA 2020-2021 season?
  
• Kendrick Perkins said: LeBron's Cleveland Cavaliers beating the Golden State Warriors 73W-9L in the finals, is better than Michael Jordan's 6-0 record in NBA Finals appearances. Do you agree?
  
• Felix's starting lineup of NBA players could have been great if it was not for injury: Derrick Rose, Gilbert Arenas, Tracy McGrady, Jermaine O'Neal, Greg Oden
  
• Boni's starting lineup of NBA players that could have been great, if it was not for injury: Jay Williams, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Bill Walton, Yao Ming
  
• Felix expands on Derrick Rose and Tracy McGrady
  
• Boni expands on Yao Ming and Bill Walton
  
• Boni's Roast or Boast segment: Felix will be given an NBA player currently playing in the league, and he must either praise them or talk crap about them

It's that time in the NBA season where star-caliber basketball players become household names. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kleenex. Whether you're a fan of the Skills Challenge, the Slam Dunk Contest or the 3-Point Shooting Contest, know that the NBA All-Star 2021 weekend will either be so so good or just blatantly terrible. Join Boni and Felix as the two Toronto natives participate in their first-ever draft episode consisting only of NBA All-Star MVP's throughout NBA history.

• Positive Affirmation: From thirdeyethoughts: What if it does work out exactly how you imagined it or even greater? Entertain that thought.
  
• Random NBA Fact: Manute Bol killed a lion with a spear
  
• banter about lions and how animals are smart
  
• an update and review of our reward predictions from Episode 1
  
• Boni claims that the NBA draft class of 2021 has similar qualities in stardom to the NBA draft class of 2003 (LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony).
  
• Felix asks Boni two questions: Should the NBA provide and investigate more into deciding who makes the all-star team? And should fans have leverage in voting on who becomes an all-star starter?
  
• Boni and Felix draft a team of 10 players each, consisting of past All-Star MVP candidates. Who drafted the better team? Let us know and get in touch with us. Follow us on Instagram @fullcourtpressthepodcast
  
• Boni and Felix end this episode by playing an audio version of "Headbandz" where Boni has 30 seconds to guess the name of a player that Felix has chosen. Will Boni ask the right questions and beat the clock on time?
