Thunderground Radio, Ep. 12: Life after a superstar

Anyone else tired of the 24 hour coverage of Dez Bryant not picking up someone’s laundry on local sports radio? Me too, so let’s talk some NBA/professional basketball. This week we look at life after a superstar, what does a franchise do once they lose their core piece and how does a franchise avoid losing their own all-star players? We talked to ESPN TrueHoop bloggers Zarar Siddiqi (Raptors Republic) and John Krolik (Cavs: The Blog) to get the scoop.

The interview with Zarar was informative and included a ton of Thunder talk, unfortunately the audio on our Cavs interview was very poor so we’ve got a quick recap of what was said in the discussion. In this week’s edition of “What Up With That?” we take a look around the NBA and Thunder organization including: Miami jersey’s at an Indians game, Team USA, Bosh dissing Canada, Mike Winger’s signing and of course KD’s tweets. Subscribe, listen, and comment!

@Thunderunder
yeah, but its not against the rules, just the spirit of the game.

It's becoming pretty clear that both of the big FA's of the summer gave up at some point last season. Makes me suspicious about how long this miami threesome was really planned out. Looking more and more like the olympics was the true beginning of the summer of 2010.

Note on the above link: The 10 players ranked are the 1st/2nd-team All Defense vote getters.

This is unrelated to the podcast, but I found a post on RealGM which ranks the best perimeter defenders in the NBA based on Isolation, P&R, Post-Up, Spot-Up, Off-Screen, and Hand-Off defense. It was meant to show that Kobe is still an elite defender, but interestingly, Thabo ranks first overall as the best perimeter defender in the league.
