Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with Washington Post NBA writer and host of the Locked On NBA podcast Ben Golliver on everything that has happened inside the NBA bubble. As the author of the upcoming book Bubbleball, Golliver shares rare details about the Disney property, including where those inside it are allowed to go, how isolating it really feels, what security is like, the activities that are available to the players, and the only thing he's spent money on in the last few months. He explains how it feels and looks inside the arena and who the most prolific trash talkers (and most enthusiastic family members) have been. He also reveals how this unique, shared experience for players and executives is impacting the league and examines how teams are evaluating players in the bubble. Golliver also offers his opinion on how LeBron's success in the bubble will ultimately impact his legacy and on whether Giannis will be in Milwaukee for the long haul. Bubbleball can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com. -- Please subscribe to Rejecting the Screen, rate, review and share with your friends! -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov provide a special NBA Finals preview episode of the podcast. They have a unique angle on whether a Lakers or Heat championship will always have an asterisk next to it because it happened in the bubble. They take a deep dive into the greatness of LeBron James, including some of his unfathomable stats, why the Michael Jordan comparisons are frustrating, and how what he's doing at his age is unlike anything we've ever seen before. The guys make their predictions on who will win the title, analyze what will determine who wins, and look back on how what they said would happen in the bubble did happen in the bubble. They also discuss the Clippers firing Doc Rivers and ask the question: Is anyone going to call Doc a "retread coach?" -- Please subscribe to Rejecting the Screen, rate, review and share with your friends! -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov talk about many of the issues surrounding the NBA bubble that aren't being discussed. They examine the importance of the NBA season resuming this season because of the impact it will have on next season and break down how we will ultimately view the players who have opted out returning this season. Noah has a thought on what it would take to actually get a current player in the bubble blackballed. Adam lays out what it would be like if the playoffs went away from a conference format and instead went with a bracket that featured No. 1 through No. 16. They also answer the question: What will it mean if a superstar not named LeBron James wins a title this season? And, in the process, they each come to surprising conclusions about this bubble experience on the whole. -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with the man responsible for countless iconic NBA photos, Nat Butler. They discuss the legendary photographer's relationship with the late David Stern and what it was like working at the NBA during the early days of the Stern Era. Nat gives a fascinating behind-the-scenes look into his famous Sports Illustrated photo shoot with LeBron James when LeBron was accepting the 2009 NBA MVP trophy at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. The future Hall of Famer also shares his experiences with Michael Jordan, including shooting Jordan's college matchup with Chris Mullin, capturing MJ showing off Air Jordan 1's on David Letterman, and turning down a valuable Jordan gift during the 1992 Dream Team run. Nat has another wild Dream Team story, as well as classic tales about Red Auerbach and Nelson Mandela. He provides insight into the NBA players who want Nat to send them their entrance photos, the detail involved in shooting an NBA game, what he avoids shooting, and the challenges he'll face while taking photos in the NBA's Orlando bubble. And he lets us know when he decides to put the camera down in his personal life so he can capture events with his own eyes. -- Follow Nat Butler on Instagram @natlyphoto -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov discuss how the NBA's return went from imminent to questionable. They look into why the momentum has shifted and ask what the NBA got wrong about the science of their plan. They also examine how the league is looking into the best way to amplify the Black Lives Matter movement. Adam talks about how former NBA players Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and Craig Hodges were blackballed after taking personal stands against racism and oppression. Noah wonders if Kyrie Irving considered the idea of having someone else speak out on behalf of the players who didn't want to return instead of doing it himself. -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam & Noah go ISO with Nuggets assistant coach John Beckett. The Eckerd College grad shares his remarkable basketball journey from a production assistant with the Inside the NBA crew and a ticket sales rep with the Atlanta Hawks all the way up to his time as an assistant coach in the NBA. He provides rare insight into this current Nuggets team with a fascinating perspective on Michael Porter Jr., Nikola Jokic, and Jamal Murray. He tells remarkable stories about how he once paid for an open tryout with the same team he's coaching now and how he dealt with angry Hawks fans who wanted their money back when he was working in their ticket sales department. He details his experience as a coach with the Delaware 87ers, having to actually "try out" to become their coach, struggling emotionally when he had the job, and a crazy tale about the worst travel day he ever had in the G League. He details all of the challenges associated with playing games in the NBA's Orlando bubble, including how to work guys out with the current restrictions, how to prepare for the unique nature of the games, and how to balance family life while being quarantined. He also discusses what Charles Barkley is really like behind the scenes, how he never even dreamed of becoming a pro coach, navigating the politics of the NBA, what goes into being a video coordinator, and how player development coaches are being undervalued in the current NBA landscape. -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam & Noah discuss their excitement level for the NBA returning and explain why they each have reservations about what's to come. Since the regular season will only have eight games left, the guys break down what the standings looked like when the season was just eight games old and what can be gleaned from looking back at that marker. They talk about the significance of teams not having home court advantage in these playoffs, how top teams are frustrated about this, and why Adam thinks the Rockets could be a team equipped to excel in this situation.

Adam & Noah go ISO with former Gonzaga star and former first round pick Dan Dickau. The 2002 first team All-American takes us inside his relationship with fellow Zags legend John Stockton and shares the invaluable lessons Stockton taught him about the game. He tells a bunch of wild stories, including how the Atlanta Hawks drafted him without ever seeing him work out, how he used team employees to try getting mementos from Michael Jordan and Will Ferrell, and how he played poker in Boston with Paul Pierce, Brian Scalabrine, and Kendrick Perkins. Dickau was traded eight times during his career and reveals how he handled constantly being dealt. He explains what it was like to play for the Blazers team he grew up rooting for as a child, what made Brandon Roy special as a rookie, and why Damian Lillard blew him away in workouts prior to the 2012 NBA Draft. He also lets us know the worst advice he ever received while in the league, the practice he'll never forget, playing against Baron Davis in high school, why small school lead guards have had success in the NBA, and even offers up some shooting tips. -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam & Noah always talk hoops and a little bit of life and, with all of the chaos going on in the country, they still tried to do both. Adam gives his three players with the most on the line if the NBA returns this season and Noah explains why Adam Silver has even more to gain in the end. The guys discuss how we'll look back on this season, whether it will always have an asterisk next to it, why the lockout-shortened 1999 season could be a good indicator of what's to come, and why LeBron is once again at the center of everything. They close with their perspective on the racism prevalent in this country and how they're viewing the events around them through a lens as parents and through their own personal prisms. -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam & Noah go ISO with former Marshall standout Jon Elmore, the only player in Division 1 history to hold conference records in points and assists at the same time. Elmore provides rare insight into the journey of a mid-major superstar who goes through the process of trying to reach the NBA. He details his unique experience when first arriving at Marshall, dominating the intramural hoops scene in shocking fashion. He shares stories about the experience he gained declaring early for the NBA Draft following his sophomore and junior seasons before eventually returning to school and stories about his whirlwind pre-draft tour working out for teams following his senior year. He discusses his time on the Boston Celtics summer league roster and the reason he eventually decided to sign with a pro team in Italy. He also recounts his remarkable tale of navigating the COVID-19 outbreak in Italy, including playing games without fans and trying to get back to the U.S., all while awaiting the birth of his first child. Elmore also talks about how difficult it is to maintain confidence as a shooter, what it was like to play for Dan D'Antoni, and why he'd always choose himself to take the big shot with a game on the line. -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam & Noah go ISO with Chad Ford, the host of the Locked On Podcast Network's newest podcast: Chad Ford's NBA Draft Big Board. Chad discusses how he got his start in two different careers: one as an NBA Draft expert and one in conflict resolution as an associate professor at BYU-Hawaii. In combining those careers, he details the communication breakdowns that exist within NBA teams, especially between head coaches and general managers, and says some NBA teams have asked him to mediate conflict within their own organizations. He explains how he develops his "Big Board," how teams use a "tier system" to evaluate prospects, and why fit is so important in determining future success. He gives his thoughts on highly rated 2020 NBA Draft prospects LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, and James Wiseman and shares how big men are evaluated in the current era of Small Ball. He also tells remarkable stories about past prospects he evaluated, including Andrew Wiggins, Hasheem Thabeet, Kawhi Leonard, Elfrid Payton, Willie Cauley-Stein, and Jahlil Okafor. Plus, Chad offers up some other crazy draft stories, including the wildest piece of intel he ever received on a prospect and a Celtics draft night trade that never happened. Chad's new book Dangerous Love: Transforming Fear and Conflict at Home, at Work, and in the World is now available for purchase. -- Please subscribe to the podcast, rate, review and share with your friends!

Adam & Noah react to episodes 9 & 10 of The Last Dance and give their final thoughts on the entire documentary. The guys question the legitimacy of the revelation that bad pizza (and not the flu) was the reason behind Michael Jordan's illness during Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals. They have intriguing thoughts about the remarkably large list of people Jordan has a vendetta against. Noah thinks Toni Kukoc deserved more love during the doc. Noah also wants the league to bring back awarding MVP trophies before playoff games, tries imagining big NBA playoff games without fans, and has one last question about Jordan's cigar smoking. Adam thinks Jerry Krause deserves credit for how he surrounded Jordan with shooters and appreciates Steve Kerr's self-deprecation. They also praise the broadcasting work of Doug Collins and Bob Costas during Jordan's iconic performance at the end of Game 6 in the 1998 NBA Finals and praise John Stockton for being John Stockton.

He also provides remarkable insight into teammates Allen Iverson, Gary Payton, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, and Pat Riley.

Adam & Noah react to episodes 7 & 8 of The Last Dance. Michael Jordan was worried about how he would come across in this documentary because of how he treated his teammates, but the guys argue that it turned out to be a brilliant public relations move. Noah explains how those teammates benefited from the "Jordan Economy." Adam theorizes that Jordan singlehandedly impacted the legacy of Danny Ainge. Also, they discuss Jordan's stint in minor league baseball. Noah provides context as to why playing Double-A ball is impressive and Adam reveals the rarely discussed nugget that Phil Jackson talked to Jordan about playing in the 1994 NBA playoffs after the baseball season was over. They take a deep dive into Scottie Pippen, most notably his refusal to re-enter Game 3 of the 1994 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Knicks. Noah explains what was behind the chair tossing incident that was glanced over in the documentary and Adam examines Pippen's place in NBA history. Noah also throws some cold water on Jordan for some couple things MJ said in the documentary about his opponents. -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
