Greg Anthony of Turner Sports is one of the top NBA analysts in the media. Greg won an NCAA Championship at UNLV in 1990 and played 11 seasons in the NBA. He also has a son playing in the league: Cole Anthony of the Orlando Magic, currently in his 2nd NBA season. Greg and Mike examine his relationship with Cole, Cole's mindset, and other great topics like LeBron James' battle with "Father Time" and the Lakers chances of winning another title. Perhaps the most compelling conversation surrounds Kyrie Irving and his banishment from the team because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19. Greg's take is one you may not have heard before, but it is incredibly thoughtful. Greg also explains the greatest challenge our society faces right now and it has nothing to do with sports.

Scottie Pippen has a new book coming out and he is holding nothing back. Mike Wise and Bruce Bernstein discuss Scottie's feelings on Michael Jordan and his Bulls experience. The Washington Wizards have become the "Lakers of the East" with the addition of Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, & Kentavious Caldwell Pope in the Russell Westbrook trade. Bruce shares his thoughts on why the Celtics have stumbled out of the gate, and the guys wax poetic on Stephen Curry, who keeps improving at the age of 33 and is leading the Warriors back into contention after two tough seasons. All of that plus Mike's experiences now that he and his family moved to Mexico.

The Pure Hoops Media crew is still enjoying its summer vacation, so we're presenting some of our favorite shows that you may have missed the first time around. September 22nd would have been the 79th birthday of the late NBA Commissioner David Stern, who passed away in January of 2020. David's final interview took place on October 29, 2019. It was the basis for a two part podcast on The Mike Wise Show. David was in a wistful and reflective mood that day and shared many personal anecdotes. In this tribute to the late great Commissioner of the NBA from 1984-2014, Mike uses David's own words to tell the story of a man who may only have stood 5'9" tall, but was a giant in the world of basketball.

Mike Wise is taking some time off to recharge for next season, but we want to share some of our favorite interviews from the recent past. Shortly after the Lakers won the 2020 NBA Championship, Jeanie Buss joined old friend Mike for a visit. Jeanie represents the Los Angeles Lakers on the NBA Board of Governors. She doesn't like to be called the "owner," but her family has controlled the team for more than four decades. In this revealing interview, Jeanie shares some very emotional thoughts about the losses of her Mother, former Commissioner David Stern, and Kobe Bryant in the course of less than two months between December 2019 and January 2020. Some of the other topics Jeanie addresses are her relationships with Phil Jackson, Magic Johnson, and LeBron James. Jeanie also tells Mike which legendary actress is her "Spirit Animal." Towards the end of the interview at 1:11:20, Jeanie shares her feelings about whether LeBron will eventually have a statue outside Staples Center. You will never meet a more "real" member of the basketball family than Jeanie Buss.

In the final installment of the Mike Wise Show's four part series on the North Carolina Basketball Family, Mike Wise, his co-host Bruce Bernstein and our panel of Tar Heel greats George Karl, George Lynch, and Matt Doherty share fun stories of their interactions with fellow family members and hoop legends Michael Jordan, James Worthy and Sam Perkins. Perkins tells a hilarious story about George Karl when they were together with the NBA's Seattle Sonics. Matt Doherty shares a golfing story about Michael Jordan that includes MJ's reaction when the former President of the United States wanted to play a round of golf with him. And when George Lynch was a rookie with the Los Angeles Lakers, he shared a memory of how James Worthy took him under his wing and made his rookie season a lot more enjoyable. And since this series of shows has a Dean Smith thread running through every episode, Tar Heel legend Brad Daugherty concludes the series with a story of how even when he passed away, Coach Smith left all of his "family" members with a sweet gesture to remember him by.

What was more shocking:
A) Milwaukee winning 4 straight games after trailing the NBA Finals 0-2 or
B) Giannis Antetokounmpo turning into Stephen Curry at the free throw line?
Without question, it's B. On a special "Post-Finals" episode of the Mike Wise Show, Mike and Bruce Bernstein examine how the Bucks pulled off the series win against the Suns. From the brilliance of the Greek Freak to the grit of PJ Tucker, to the calm professionalism of Khris Middleton, to the relentlessness of Jrue Holiday, Milwaukee "shushed" all the doubters in the hoop world. As for the Suns, their future is bright but this young team faces a tough decision about point guard Chris Paul, who at age 36 is approaching the twilight of his career and may want a contract extension beyond next season.

Heading into game three of the NBA Finals, many were writing the obituary for the 2020-'21 Milwaukee Bucks. After going down 0-2 to the the Phoenix Suns, Giannis Antetokounmpo and his suddenly aroused teammates delivered a strong message that Phoenix still had reason to "Fear the Deer." With the Greek Freak leading the way, Milwaukee used two massive runs at the end of the second and third quarters to snuff any dreams of a Phoenix sweep. And with game four scheduled for Wednesday, Milwaukee can guarantee a long series with another win on its home court. Mike Wise and Bruce Bernstein discuss all that plus the breakout star of the Finals: Emily from the YouTube TV commercial
