Pro Basketball Talk on NBC Sports podcast

Nets drama, NBA surprise teams, and Christmas music

Episode Summary

Drama around the Brooklyn Nets — from Steve Nash being out as coach to Kyrie Irving's Tweets — is the topic du jour around the NBA, but NBC's Corey Robinson and Kurt Helin also dive into Zion, surprise teams around the NBA, and if it's okay to start playing Christmas Music.

Episode Notes

When is it time to start playing Christmas music? After Thanksgiving? Is there ever a time not to play Christmas music? Sure, there is a lot of NBA news that Corey Robinson and Kurt Helin of NBC Sports get into, including Steve Nash being out and Kyrie Irving Tweeting out another distraction in Brooklyn, but music draws some focus in this episode of the PBT Podcast. Coryey's Juke Box is back with a song — from an opera — for Irving, plus some classic Marvin Gaye for the Pistons. Then there is the Christmas music discussion. Also on tap is a discussion of the biggest surprises this young season, and how Zion Williamson has become a bigger threat with the addition of passing to his game.
