    NBA Awards Preview 2026-27: MVP Predictions, Bold Picks & The Baseline Awards w/ CoachNick
    Oct 21 2026
    The NBA Awards race is heating up, and we’re making our picks! On this episode of The Baseline NBA Podcast, Cal “Game Face” Lee and Warren Shaw welcome special guest CoachNick, host of BBall Breakdown, for our 2026-27 NBA Awards Preview.

    We’re breaking down the biggest award races, debating potential winners, and sharing our bold predictions for MVP, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and Sixth Man of the Year.

    Then it’s time for The Baseline Awards, where we go beyond the traditional hardware with creative categories that celebrate the players, teams, and storylines worth watching.

    Who does the most with the least?
    Who is the best fit on a new team?
    Who’s the ultimate Glue Guy, the most valuable player on a bad team, or the player most likely to bounce back?

    We’re also picking our League Pass Darling, the best second option with the Pippen Award, the league’s most explosive offense, the toughest defense, and more.

    With Luka Dončić, Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham, Victor Wembanyama, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Edwards, Nikola Jokić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and other NBA stars in the conversation, the debate is officially on. Who deserves the hardware, and which Baseline Award will spark the biggest debate?

    From the Baseline: Which NBA award or Baseline Award pick do you agree—or disagree—with the most?

    In this episode of The Baseline NBA Podcast, we welcome Uriah Young from the BBall Now and Then Podcast for another edition of They Reminisce Over You.

  • Legacy, Scarlett Letter and a SoapBox Soliloquy

    Legacy, Scarlett Letter and a SoapBox Soliloquy
    Aug 5 2026
    This week on the Baseline NBA Podcast, we dive into a wild stretch of league headlines. The NBA has officially paused the Kawhi Leonard trade talks as the investigation heats up, and we break down what that means for the Clippers and the league at large. Plus, the Raptors, Heat, and Clippers are heading north for the 2026 NBA Canada Games, and NBA 2K27 is teasing covers featuring Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark, or Derrick Rose — we debate who deserves the spotlight. Then in our Soapbox Soliloquy, we unpack why LeBron’s latest move places a scarlet letter on his entire generation, how his influence truly shaped the era, and why Rich Paul declaring “This is Tyrese Maxey’s team” might be the most honest statement of the offseason.
