Welcome to Hold My Banner, the basketball podcast where hosts George Balekji and Ountae Campbell dive deep into the latest buzz in the NBA and beyond! In this episode, they kick things off by discussing the potential for a new WNBA team in Portland. Is Portland the right city for expansion, and who should be the next franchise to join the league? Next, the duo takes a look at the freshly leaked NBA City Edition uniforms, sharing their opinions on which designs fall flat—George criticizes the Knicks and Heat, while Ountae calls out the Celtics and Lakers. On the flip side, they celebrate the standout looks, with George praising Memphis and the Suns, and Ountae highlighting the Raptors and Pistons. As the season approaches, they preview the Central Division with a focus on the Detroit Pistons. How do they feel about the team’s offseason moves, and what realistic outcomes can fans expect this year? The hosts also discuss potential bets and whether Cade Cunningham is primed for an All-Star season. Plus, they debate if JB Bickerstaff is the right coach for this young roster. The conversation then shifts to which NBA records might be in jeopardy this season, including Steph Curry’s pursuit of 4000 three-pointers and LeBron’s daunting quest for 30,000 field goal attempts. They also explore the record for most points in a quarter, currently held by Klay Thompson. Finally, George and Ountae ponder what the NBA equivalent of a "50/50" season looks like. What kind of stats would a player need to achieve to match Shohei Ohtani's remarkable feat in baseball?
