  • FaceTime w/ The Baseline: Inside Meal Ticket — The Story Behind the McDonald’s All-American Legacy

    FaceTime w/ The Baseline: Inside Meal Ticket — The Story Behind the McDonald’s All-American Legacy
    Mar 25 2026
    In this special edition of FaceTime w/ The Baseline, we sit down with filmmakers Corey Colvin and Carlton Sabbs, the visionary directors behind the Prime Video documentary Meal Ticket. Hailing from Chicago, the duo brings a powerful blend of storytelling, culture, and lived experience to the screen. We dive into their creative journey, their transition into feature documentary filmmaking, and how their backgrounds in music, sports, and visual storytelling shaped the making of Meal Ticket.

    The film explores the cultural impact of the McDonald’s All-American Games — going beyond the court to capture the pressure, expectations, and life-changing moments that define the next generation of basketball stars. From archival storytelling to emotional, high-impact visuals, Colvin and Sabbs break down how they brought authenticity and depth to one of basketball’s most iconic pipelines. Tap in for an in-depth conversation on basketball culture, storytelling, and the intersection of sport and identity — only on The Baseline NBA Podcast.

  • What We Got Right… and Wrong: NBA Season Reality Check

    What We Got Right… and Wrong: NBA Season Reality Check
    Mar 19 2026
    The NBA season has been a roller coaster — and it’s time for a reality check. In this episode of The Baseline NBA Podcast, we revisit our preseason predictions and break down what we got right… and what we completely missed.

    From rising stars to unexpected team success, we take an honest look at how the season has unfolded. We discuss why our tempered expectations for Amen Thompson proved accurate, how the San Antonio Spurs — led by Victor Wembanyama — are ahead of schedule, and why Kon Knueppel has made an immediate impact.

    On the flip side, we revisit misses including underestimating the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers, expecting a leap from Matas Buzelis, and writing off the Phoenix Suns too early. From player development and team performance to playoff implications, we break down the biggest surprises and lessons from this NBA season so far.

  • Proof of Life: The Non-Playoff Teams That Could Break Through Next Year

    Proof of Life: The Non-Playoff Teams That Could Break Through Next Year
    Mar 11 2026
    Not every non-playoff team is truly rebuilding — some are simply waiting for the right moment to break through. In this episode of The Baseline NBA Podcast, we introduce “Proof of Life,” a deep-dive exercise where we identify one team from the Eastern Conference and one from the Western Conference that could rise from outside the playoff picture and reach the postseason next year.

    We examine teams like the Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, and Utah Jazz — evaluating roster talent, player development, front office direction, and the key factors that could spark a turnaround.

    Which struggling teams are closer to contention than people realize? Which organizations still have life left in them?

    From rising stars to roster construction and future outlooks, we break down the teams that could surprise the league in the next NBA playoff race.
