From the Olympians’ collapse in 1951 to a referee’s bets in 2007 to the FBI arrests of 2025, gambling has shadowed pro basketball from its earliest days. Sometimes it’s proven. Sometimes it is rumor. Either way, every scandal shaped the NBA we know today.

We're back! The Luka Doncic trade demanded the return of Over & Back, and here we are.

Jason and Rich reunite for the first time since November 2023 to discuss the blockbuster to end all blockbusters with Luka shipped off to Los Angeles.

In this episode, we explore prior trades in NBA history to compare with this one, discuss the various reasons why this trade differs from nearly all major trades in NBA history, identify which players historically measure up to Luka through his age 25 season, and give some appreciation to Anthony Davis, who is an excellent player, even though he isn't Luka Doncic.

We're back! You couldn't get rid of us that easily!

In this episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast, Jason and Rich talk about the history of fall trades in the NBA.

We'll discuss Damian Lillard's move to Milwaukee, James Harden's setting sail for the Los Angeles Clippers then dive into NBA history with some of the most famous fall trades ever including:

• The Ewing Era in New York Ends
• The Spurs get Dennis the Menace
• Expansion Franchises Reset
• Iverson goes to the Motor City but Denver revs up
• Golden State Muscles-Up To Win A Title
• Nets get Tiny, lose Doc; Tiny gets hurt
• Cavalier Clyde
• Celtics don't want McAdoo
• Sixers want Mo' Mo' Mo'
• Bucks and Clippers swap rotations
• Ice joins Air Jordan
• Reign Man flees to the Cleve
• Pippen kisses Houston goodbye
• Melo joins Russ and PG in OKC
• The Butler did it (left the Timberwolves)
• Mitchell to the Cavs

On the latest episode of Over and Back, Jason and Rich revisit one of their favorite topics: 50-point games in NBA and ABA history.

The focus this time is on the last four seasons, which have seen 18% of all 50-point games in league history. They discuss the recent surge in 60-point games and new additions to the 70-point game club.

They also explore why there has been such a significant increase in 50-point games over the past few years, whether this trend is unprecedented, who is most likely to break the all-time 50-point game record, and more.

In celebration of 2023 NBA Draft #1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama's Summer League debut, the Over & Back Podcast digs into the history of international players drafted first overall.

The Denver Nuggets have won their franchise's first NBA title, largely thanks to Nikola Jokić. For his efforts, he was awarded the Bill Russell Award for NBA Finals MVP, a testament to his outstanding performance.

However, we're not sure people are quite understanding just HOW great Jokić was during both the 2023 NBA Finals and the entire 2023 playoff season.

Join the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast as we explore the very real possibility that Nikola Jokić just had one of the greatest playoff runs in NBA history.

After 56 years of existence, the Denver Nuggets are finally in the NBA Finals.

Thanks to the heroics of two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr, Aaron Gordon, and coach Michael ("Don't Call Him Mike") Malone, the Nuggets are finally in the finals!

In this episode, we will look back on the franchises’ history. It’s a fascinating one with bouts of futility, innovations, and experiments of the game, lost superstars, and now, finally, NBA Finals glory.

The NBA world mourned the loss of a true icon in March when New York Knicks legend Willis Reed passed away.

In tribute to his remarkable legacy, Over and Back has put together a special episode chronicling Reed's journey from a second-round pick to a two-time NBA Champion with the historic New York Knicks. The episode delves into the top 10 most significant games of his career, including his NBA debut on October 17, 1964, his first 40-point game, his first 50-point game, his outstanding 30-30 playoff performance, and his unforgettable Game 7 performance in the 1970 NBA Finals.
