No games last night? No problem. On Wed.’s No Dunks ep., Skeets and Trey discuss Adam Silver trying to take responsibility for the lackluster All-Star Games (2:52), LeBron James’ lack of free throws prompting the Lakers to contact the league office (11:00), Robert Williams III’s knee surgery (15:52), Diamond Sports Group reaching a one-season deal with the NBA to keep airing games (18:42), and Steve Kerr intending to step down as Team USA coach after the Paris Olympics (21:47). That, plus we hit the beach to answer questions about 5×5 candidates (27:08), director-coach comparisons (32:26), heel turns (40:50), silly NBA rules we’d like to see changed/removed (43:53), and the best movies we’ve never watched (54:55).

15.11.2023Casablanca is my favorite classic movie! Love it ! Not huge on Citizen Kane but I recommend Chinatown with Jack Nicholson circa 1974 directed by Roman Polanski. It's a super dark film noir murder mystery with some twists and turns

15.11.2023Most exciting thing about all star weekend being in my backyard is that I'll hopefully get to see the boys live 🤞

15.11.2023I bet the all star game would be more competitive if we had more defensively-minded all-stars 🤔 Probably won't happen via the vote, but the coaches could do it
Kana Beats
15.11.2023I love it when JD goes off. Do it more king!
Eric Blase
15.11.2023Wemby should be on the 5×5 watchlist

15.11.2023Inception is the best movie I've never seen
I kinda stopped watching movies about 15 years ago. But ive had inception on my list for years.
Citizen Kane, is good for the time, still holds up.
Alex Heiden
15.11.2023Replays and challenges are the worst thing to happen to the game I love over the last 15 years. Makes games almost unwatchable if there's a Van Gundy on the broadcast, and ruins exciting endings.
Joel Greenlee
15.11.2023On the Film Director/ NBA coach thing – I have to go all time classic here… Red Auerbach is Alfred Hitchcock. All time classics who innovated and changed their respective games
Richard Martino
15.11.2023You're absolutely ridiculous He Flops all the freaking time I've watched his games he does every time he goes up if he doesn't score he puts his hands up every time he tries to go in he puts his hands up no matter what you are absolutely lying

15.11.2023I vote Mission impossible for the next movie series! Similar vibes to fast and the furious 😉

14.11.2023Saw Die Hard for the first time a couple months ago. Definitely a Christmas movie.

14.11.2023Swift's music is garbage. If my daughters liked it, I'd just be like, "yeah no, this sucks."

14.11.20235×5? I'm more impressed with a 6×6
6 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 6 steals, 6 blocks, and FOULS OUT!

14.11.20237 months and 24 days of being sad about the chances of a NO CHAINS disc golf podcast 🙁

14.11.2023Zach Lowe was right. A team which is a runaway leader in fouls awarded should not whine they're not getting calls. People might call them hypocrites or full of shytem

14.11.2023Fast friends the G Dang Tremors movies!

13.11.2023Jurassic Park / World as movie series, some bangers, and some well…..
Thomas Müller
13.11.2023Another heel turn is with the young and fun nets when kd and kyrie joined. Actually the biggest heel turn is in fact kd leaving okc. That's the most dominant heel move ever.
Trevor Logan
13.11.2023Ya'll should Fast Friends the Terminator and/or Robocop series. I just watched the first Robocop for the first time ever and that movie is incredible.
midstream
13.11.2023Home Alone 1-3 for fast friends please – Twilight too! haha
Tony Alvarez
13.11.2023It’s an All-Star game. Why is it supposed to be so competitive? It’s an exhibition. Put in some extra gimmicks. Like a four point shot. Or extra points for a windmill or three-sixty dunk. Or for an alley-oop.
Tony Alvarez
11.11.2023NBA definitely needs to send No Dunks one of those in-season tournament gift boxes. What the heck?! No Dunks is the best NBA podcast out there! NBA owes you all so much love!

11.11.2023I watch a channel in YT where they have a running gag of a guy asking another one: "Have you seen Tenet?" Still haven't found time to watch it after all of that.

11.11.2023Was watching the knick play the spurs and all i could think was man i Miss Tas
Pilot Fine
11.11.2023Was waiting to hear which Coach is Kubrick
Bit sad they never gave a comp for a coach as Kubrick, that being said it was still hard coming up with any, let alone that
Pilot Fine
11.11.2023Skeets also hasn't watched A Christmas Story?
I thought i was watching it, butt 5 minutes in I had to go to the washroom, and apparently that was the end of A Christmas Story and the movie Happiness started playing. I couldn't believe my classmates from elementary school and teachers were quoting this movie. It took me about 12 years to learn Happiness is a completely different movie.
It gave a whole new meaning to "Yule shoot yer eye out" for sure

10.11.2023Was going to name drop the Universal Monsters as good old movies worth watching, and then Bride of Frankenstein came up shortly after. Those are definitely worth a watch.
Good work, guys. Great show.

10.11.2023I can't believe skeets actually said that Lebron does not really flop. I mean, wow. JD was on fire with the director-coaches thing.
