In this episode of No room for the ceilingYahoo Sports Senior NBA Reporter Jake Fischer and Yahoo Sports Senior NBA Writer Dan Devine talk all things NBA…and maybe a little Charlie XCX and The Island of Love.
The guys kick off the show by announcing that Steve Kerr will not be returning as the head coach of the U.S. men’s basketball team after leading the team to a gold medal in France. The only question left is whether Spoelstra or Tyronn Lue will take over.
Zion Williamson looks slimmer in photos posted to social media, reminding us of how well he played in the second half of last season.
Kevin Durant, arguably the best player in University of Texas history, will return to Austin to face the San Antonio Spurs in February. Dan explains how good Durant was in his lone year of college, while Jake explains why he preferred Greg Oden.
Joe Harris has retired from basketball, leading Jake to tell stories about his discussions with Joe in the Nets locker room and his meetings with Joe in Brooklyn. Dan digs into the numbers that show Joe was one of the best three-point shooters in NBA history.
Guerschon Yabusele was one of the stars of the French Olympic team and was rewarded with a one-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers could really use a player like Yabusele, which means he could end up closing games for them. Dan tries to find comparisons to explain “Yabu” to people who have never seen him play basketball before.
We end the show with our favorite under-the-radar moves of the offseason, bouncing all over the league to make it.
