FULL NBA TODAY | Wiggins to Lakers? Warriors send Kuminga to Nets for Cam Thomas, LeBron-Curry clash
NBA season when it gets underway on October 21st. It is going to be theater for the first time in league history. It’ll all tip off in Oklahoma City. The reigning champion Thunder. They’ll get their rings with that man, a familiar face across the floor, Kevin Durant, who will be debuting for his sixth franchise when he puts on a Rockets jersey. But somehow that might not even be the main event for opening night. Later on in Los Angeles, LeBron James, he will kick off his unprecedented 23rd season against his career-long foe Steph Curry as the Warriors visit the Lakers. That one is at 10:00 Eastern. As we welcome you to NBA Today, I’m Malika Anders. We have so much to dive into as the NBA began to roll out the schedule this morning. Today’s show, it’s going to have a little coast to coast flavor. There’s no two people I’d rather break it all down with. and NBA champ Kendrick Perkins and the people’s champ Agum. You heard her. You heard her. I’m the people’s champ. I will take that all day, every day. Stamp it. People’s champ. My champs perk. Hit me with one word. I know it’s been a while, so you probably got a few, but just one word to describe this opening night slate that we just saw. Well, before I give you the word, Malikica, I’m going to give you this word before my my word to describe. Here we go. Already it’s hot. Preacher perk. Now, I know I haven’t been in the studio in a minute, but turn the damn AC on. Yeah, we have a little bit of a TV situation, but you should be used to this. We from the age. Come on, bro. Yeah. Yeah. But, but look, I’m going I’m going with the OG’s. That’s the word to describe opening night, right? Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, you went to the circus before. The greatest show on earth, right? In respect to the champs, their ring ceremony in Oklahoma City Thunder. But damn it, KD, LeBron James, Steph Curry is the attention, right? It’s still their lead. They attract the eyeballs. They’re still the faces of this game. And that’s why they’re going to be on display for opening night. The OG. So, if you’re going to say this is a circus, my question is who’s the ring leader of that circus? Because the NBA is going to be really interesting with all the power moves. Malikica, my word is trifecta. I wish I went first because we’re on the same type of time. Those OGs, they truly are the trifecta. I mean, this is the generation that we grew up on and they’re still in top tier form. Kevin Durant going to my Houston Rockets. Steph Curry looking at his Warriors like, are we going to make some moves? And LeBron James finally has a what Perk likes to say, a skinny Luca a little bit. So, my word is trifecta to see which, you know, star, which ring leader will really come out on top. I like it. I thought Park was just going to stick with hot, but no, that’s just to describe the studio. How about history? We get to see history in LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry all suiting up and Oklahoma City also getting their first ring in franchise history. So, what do you say with that history on the line? Let’s dive a little deeper here and let’s start in Oklahoma City because Kevin Durant will be back in Oklahoma to kick off the season and a user posed a question to KD on social media. He asked this. He said, “Where will your mentals be on opening night when you watch the team that gave you everything raise a banner after you left them high and dry?” Okay, that’s direct. To which KD replied, “Well, finally, it’s been 10 years. It’s about time they won one.” Burke, you played five seasons with KD in Oklahoma City. Do you think this is just going to be any other game for Durant? Do you think there’s a little something more watching OKC raise that banner? Hell yeah, it’s going to be more. And by the way, we have rubbed off, the NBA Today family have rubbed off on Adam Silva. The pettiness and I’m here for and I’m here for it. Damn it. Yeah. The pettiness. Houston, Nc. KD Nc. The fan base still have yet to give him a a round of applause for returning. And now all of a sudden, you got to see the great KD has to walk into that building and watch not only the franchise he left raise their first check, raise their first banner, but also watch the best franchise player ever at SGA be able to watch and get his ring. It’s going to be smoke in the city. I wish I could be there. And if I’m KD, I go in the back. I don’t want to watch it. If I’m KD, I come with the mindset that I want to upset them and disappoint and be a spoiler on their ring ceremony night. Yeah, I’m not mad at them. Well, they can be a spoiler of the season. Yeah, go ahead, Chen. You’re absolutely right. It could be a spoiler of the season. This is a team that finished, I believe, was it number two, the Houston Rockets in the West, and they got the guy that fills all of their holes. But if you think about it, Perk, one thing you, me, and Malikica, we all have in common is we were all in Oklahoma City, not just for the finals, but also the Western Conference Finals. And so I feel like we’re honorary members of the fan base that you love because we all fell in love with them as well. They love you, but I think they love all of us now. But one thing I know is not only do they remember the past and they are still hurt by KD leaving, but they also remember the present, which is good. They understand that this team is built to win in the future. And KD get did get his own rings. So I feel like he’s still going to walk in there confidently. But yeah, I feel like the the smoke is there for game one. They did a great job. But I think I think with them winning the championship has closed that chap chapter for the organization of Oklahoma City and the fan base of the Kevin Durant. So you think that they’re going to cheer and I’m not saying all that. We still may see some cupcake signs in there, but if you’re OKC, you want to come out on a mission as well, right? We haven’t had a back-to back champion since the month of February, right? So, you want to come back, you want to come back, you want to come back with a certain type of hunger, and you want to come out on your opening night and show that you’re not satisfied, that you want more. Yeah. And Kevin Durant is coming in with a team that is fully equipped to challenge Oklahoma City in the Western Conference this year. The Houston Rockets, as you mentioned, Chay, they finished the year second overall. They they want to have something to say. They don’t get go get Kevin Durant just to be second again, right? that match up between the last season’s top teams in the West. Maybe though, perk, you’re the appetizer expert, just an appetizer for the first night of the season, right? Because anytime a salad, anytime you get Steph versus LeBron, this is not a salad. This is the main course. No matter what year it is, it is the main event, right? They’re going to both kick off their campaigns for that elusive fifth ring with a head-to-head clash. And there’s no shortage of questions surrounding both of their teams. What does year 23 look like for LeBron? Are the Lakers officially Lucas team now? Did the Warriors put enough around Steph and the Warriors to cook up something special one last time? Kind of get away. One thing I do know, y’all, I mean, come on. It’s fun. We know this though, friends. These teams, they answer the bell every time. They’ve played 56 times across the regular season, the playoffs, the playin. LeBron has the regular season edge, but Steph Curry holds the lead in postseason wins, including in the NBA finals. So, Perk, it’s been over 10 years since the Steph LeBron rivalry really kicked off here. It feels to me though it hasn’t lost any of its seam. I think back to Christmas Day last year. Why is that? Why is it still so exciting? Because you have two all-time greats that every time they step between those lines, they want to kick each other ass. LeBron James want to give Steph that work and Steph want to give LeBron James their work and you could go and we could look at the numbers, it speaks for itself. And so when you have these two all-time greats and yes, they’re OG’s, but they’re actually always competing between that line to say this my block homie. This is what I this is this is my turf. And Steph, like we talk about LeBron James and rightfully so of being, you know, the arguably the greatest player of all time. still feel like he should be in that conversation. So when they step between those lines, it’s a brawl for it all. And it’s it’s a reason why you brought up Christmas Day, Malikica Chen. It’s a reason that they damn near touched I believe it was 9 million viewers on Christmas Day because all eyeballs was on them because they never disappoint. Yeah. And if it comes to me, I I’m looking at both of these guys. They have extended their prime in a way that they’re setting the standard for those in the future. Like now people think it’s realistic to play until you’re 40 based off of what they’ve invested in their bodies. They’ve created the blueprint. I feel like LeBron and Luca and now I guess maybe a 2.5. I don’t know. We’re not going to go there. We have to see.
