In this episode of The AM Basketball Breakdown, Adam recaps the biggest storylines from the first quarter of the 2026 NBA season. We look at OKC’s dominant title defense, Detroit’s rise to the top of the Eastern Conference, and the fallout from Nico Harrison’s surprising decision to trade Luka Dončić.

We break down early standouts from the highly regarded 2025 rookie class — including Cooper Flagg, Kon Kneuppel, VJ Edgecombe, Cedric Coward, and Derik Queen — and check in on the Celtics, Nuggets, and Rockets as they reshape their rotations and supporting casts.

Off the court, we explore the NBA gambling probe, Ja Morant’s latest controversy, and what Michael Jordan’s recent NBC interviews reveal about excellence and today’s league.

A great deal has already unfolded this season, and there is much more to come. Tune in for a full first-quarter snapshot before we revisit everything at midseason.

In this episode, Adam is joined by his friend Kevin Randall (dacaptain37) to preview the upcoming NBA season. They discuss the transition of Inside the NBA to ESPN, Oklahoma City’s title defense, which teams have a realistic chance to challenge them, and predictions for MVP and the 2026 NBA champion.

Basketball season is almost here! With the schedule just released, Adam Miller breaks down the NBA League Pass teams he will be keeping an eye on this year.

For this episode, Adam sets some rules: no teams on more than 20 percent of national television games. From there, he selects two from each conference that are worth tuning in for this season.

Along the way, he shares why each team made the list, what he will be watching for, and the storylines that make them interesting League Pass teams.
