Kevoo Bandzz Hoops Podcast

Coach Painter and the Boilermakers of Purdue lost two very important players for what they have been doing for the past few seasons and earlier this week he took some shots on a radio show at them so I break it down. Also, the Instagram famous Mac McClung announced that he will withdraw from the 2020 NBA Draft and not head back to Georgetown but transfer from the Big East program and look for a new place to play at. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kevoo-bandzz/support

I love Luka Dončić and he is going to go down as a great player and a hall of famer one day but I sincerely believe that Kristaps Porzingis is not the Robin to Luka’s Batman. Also, I go into why LaMelo could really be drafted no. 1 overall and why teams should be trying to make that happen. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kevoo-bandzz/support

Today we look back at all of the major conference player of the years awards for the 2019-2020 season to show them love because their seasons were sadly cut short.

Episodes 7 & 8 of The Last Dance gave us a lot from how MJ dealt with his father’s tragic death, how he made the transition from the court to the baseball diamond and the 1996 Finals. Also, I talk about how sadly Zion Williamson is going through a legal battle with a marketing company where pretty much the communication was simply just bad. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kevoo-bandzz/support

The Heat have one of thee most lethal offense in the league headlined by Jimmy Butler and the barrage of shooters that they have and they are almost unguardable in their schemes plus you throw in one of if not the most versatile big men in the league and Bam Adebayo and you have the perfect remedy for an defense. I had to speak my peace on why Rondo is not washed because Lakers fans swear he’s so terrible for replacing LeBron once he comes off the court but Rondo has consistently showed that he is an asset to each and every single team that he’s played on. So just relax. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kevoo-bandzz/support

One of the greatest point guards of all time turns 35 years young today so I decided to show him some love because a lot of “fans” only show him hate nowadays. Also, Aaron Henry from my Michigan State Spartans had already announced his decision to test the NBA Draft waters late last month and just recently signed with an NCAA certified agency that will leave the door open if he decides to go back to East Lansing so I bring you guys my thoughts on that. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kevoo-bandzz/support

Episodes 5 and 6 of the Last Dance took a deep dive into MJ signing with Nike over Adidas, his time at the 1992 Olympics playing for the Dream Team and his great run to his first 3-peat after beating the Phoenix Suns in the 1993 NBA Finals. Also, since we were on the topic of Charles Barkley I had to address his little feud with Draymond Green and why Draymond is a much better player than a lot of people give him credit for. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kevoo-bandzz/support

These 4 players were destined to have really good summers and to earn even more offers than they have acquired but sadly with the coronavirus striking the globe they won’t get their chance to prove that on the EYBL circuit this summer so I decided to show each of them some love. Also, Elijah Weaver will transfer from USC and become one of the most sought after transfer on the market and once he becomes eligible he’s going to be a day 1 impact type of player !!! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kevoo-bandzz/support

Daishen Nix will skip college and join Jalen Green and Isaiah Todd and join the NBA’s new G-League Select Team based out of LA. Also, these 5 freshmen will have great expectations put in them in their first year of college but I think each will leave up and even exceed the hype. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kevoo-bandzz/support

Isa Silva is one of the best point guards in the country and earlier today he announced his commitment to play for head coach Jerod Haase and the Stanford Men’s Basketball Program.
