Description
In this episode of Puff and Vern, we’re diving deep into the latest headlines from the Raptors and around the NBA! First up, it’s all about Raptors nostalgia as we revisit Vince Carter’s jersey retirement, unpacking his lasting impact on Toronto basketball.

Who knew an NBA season could kick off with such drama?
Then, in Around the League, Vern might have some explaining to do as he revisits his bold “JJ Redick for Coach of the Year” prediction after the 76ers’ shaky start and Joel Embiid’s suspension. Speaking of veteran icons, is age finally catching up with LeBron James? Puff and Vern explore what we’re seeing from the 40-year-old King and reflect on his influence this season. Plus, they marvel at the Warriors’ hot streak, question if Cleveland’s early dominance is for real, and wonder how a team like the Milwaukee Bucks could be struggling this much.
