Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Phil Handy is finalizing a deal to become an assistant coach with Philadelphia Sixers head coach Nick Nurse, a source said. Handy previously worked with Nurse in Toronto and with LeBron James with the Cavs and Lakers. Great addition for Nurse.

There hasn't been an episode released this week, but yesterday was the 2nd-best ever day for the Podcast (best was day Ryan Schmidt interview dropped). Going by the large number of international downloads, I'm calling it the "people on holiday effect"!😄 basketballwriter.podbean.com

Over time, the number of people who will claim to have stayed up and watched the Mexico v England game live will mysteriously increase... Tis easier to say you stayed up than admit you slept through a classic. It's not a dig, it happens for so many classic moments in sport.

Always love it when an older episode gets traction again. With Ryan Schmidt named among the candidates for the Chicago Bulls job, it's suddenly getting listens again. I'd highly recommend listening as it's a great episode and the 2nd most popular episode of the podcast to date. #Bulls #NBA

There are a few things I'd change but the main issue it's the lack of a proper 3 or 5-game playoff series to keep fans engaged... Months of regular season, but then the playoffs are done in just over a week. One bad performance or a strong loss and you're out? It doesnt make sense, imo

Asked on X, now asking here. We've now had 2 seasons of UK Super League Basketball. What change(s) would you like to see next season to improve the SLB? Doesn't matter whether it's relating to competition, rules, teams, officials, venues, broadcast, it can be anything. Let's hear your thoughts.

Congrats Dziki Warszawa, the third different Polish team to win the ENBL title. Commiserations to @mcrbball.bsky.social , who like Newcastle last year, will have to settle for runners-up. Disappointed, but some crumbs of comfort that an SLB team has made the ENBL final 2 years in a row.

Hi @eurostarjustin.bsky.social Do Eurostar sell a physical navigo card pre-loaded with tickets either at St Pancras or onboard the trains? It's not a problem if it's more expensive than buying in Paris, it's for someone who struggles with apps and wants to get to next station in Paris, ASAP.

This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you. I started following Sharks from their very first season as a 14 year old. Don’t think I really appreciated how impressive what they achieved in that first season was. I loved watching Todd back then and great to hear him talking in detail about to all.

London won the league title for the fourth year in a row and there was a whole load of other talking points in SLB. But my favourite bit is definitely the gotcha of @shieldsbrief.bsky.social at the beginning - an all-timer SNB moment IMHO 😂😂 linktr.ee/sundaynightb...
