Luka DEBUTS Eurobasket Bod, Will it LAST? | Amen Thompson a LOCK for 1st Time All-Star Bid | Kareem's Skyhook OVERRATED?
On today’s show, Luka Doncic’s EuroBasket debut turned heads — not just for his 19 points and all-around play, but for a noticeably leaner, more muscular frame. The question: why didn’t the NBA schedule a marquee Christmas Day matchup between Luka’s Lakers and the Mavericks? Matt Moore and Haize debate whether the league played it too safe, especially with the NFL now planting its flag on December 25th.We also roll through the opening round of our NBA Tournament of Moves, where the fans have spoken. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Skyhook and Hakeem Olajuwon’s Dream Shake both advanced with lopsided wins, and we break down what makes these moves iconic — from Kareem’s unguardable release to Hakeem’s ballet-like footwork. Along the way, we touch on the underrated brilliance of Steve Smith’s “Smitty” and why Tim Hardaway’s UTEP Two-Step still leaves defenders stumbling decades later.The episode wraps with our first upset of the tourney: Steph Curry’s relentless Relocation Three outpacing James Harden’s deadly Stepback. We debate what defines a “signature” move — is it physical dominance, endurance, or exploiting the smallest cracks in the rulebook?If you’re a fan of basketball history, modern debates, and a little competitive bracket fun, this episode has you covered from Luka’s overseas form to the artistry of the game’s greatest moves.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONBA?sid=YouTubeLocked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAFind a Daily Locked On NBA Podcast covering your favorite team:📲 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAFollow the Locked On Podcast NetworkTwitter 📲 https://twitter.com/LockedOnNetworkTikTok 📲 https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedonsportsSubscribe to the Locked On NBA YouTube Channel: Locked On NBAFollow/Subscribe/Listen Anywhere: linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAYour favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

Rockets Holding Out On KD | Is Joe Mazz A Good Coach?
Matt Moore and Haize take you into the weekend with quite a bit of NBA news and rumors. The Rockets reportedly aren't rushing to sign Kevin Durant to an extension.

Plus, Joe Mazzulla gets a new deal from the Celtics but Matt and Haize aren't sure about whether he's the right coach in all circumstances. And the Warriors have talked to Chicago about a double sign-and-trade with Jonathan Kuminga and Josh Giddey and one of our hosts thinks this is the solution to both team's problems.
