We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!
Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones check in on the now-streaking Oklahoma City Thunder, fresh off a pair of blow-out wins against potential Western Conference contenders. From Shai’s process against traps to OKC’s effective game plan against Victor Wembanyama (on both ends), the guys break down what they’ve liked and what they’re keeping an eye on.

From there, they give their early thoughts on the Most Improved Player award — how the award should be decided on, and some names they have in consideration right now.
(Don’t worry, a full-blown deep dive on the award will be coming soon!)
The guys then preview the upcoming slate of Unrivaled games, sharing the matchups, lineups and scheme questions they’re most interested about.
Finally, Hall of Famer Becky Hammon (head coach, Las Vegas Aces) joins the show to discuss her journey and upcoming documentary, her evolution as a coach, coaching A’ja Wilson and so much more.
