Basketball history has had only a handful of true faces of the league and we were lucky to sit down with one of them during NBA All-Star Weekend: Julius “Dr. J” Erving. Matt and Stak talk with Dr. J about everything from his legendary runs at Rucker Park to the high-flying, flashy style of the ABA, plus his heated rivalry with Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics. Along the way, we share plenty of laughs, including the inspiration behind Doc’s iconic afro and a hilarious story about his college car at UMass. From influencing generations of players to becoming Michael Jordan’s favorite player and blueprint on and off the court, Dr. J’s impact is undeniable. Step back in time with us as we sit down with true basketball royalty.

Chris Paul deserved better.

On this episode of ALL THE SMOKE Unplugged, we break down why the Clippers’ handling of CP3’s exit still doesn’t sit right, and how it impacts his legacy as one of the greatest point guards of his era. We also get into:

• Jaylen Brown getting disrespected AGAIN... this time by Beverly Hills PD

• Team USA 2028 roster projections Who’s a lock? Who’s getting snubbed?

• The NBA’s “grimiest” city conversation

• Darryn Peterson's Strange Season at Kansas

Last year's NBA All-Star Weekend gave us one of our most iconic moments: the Vernon Maxwell episode. Not only does it stand as one of our funniest and most-watched episodes of all time, but it also brought Mad Max into the ALL THE SMOKE family as a permanent part of the show. So naturally, we had to run it back with this year's live show at The Lighthouse Campus in Venice.

We caught up with Max to talk about how his life has changed since that episode and what he's been up to lately. We also sat down with Craig Hodges to discuss his record-setting NBA Three-Point Contest wins, Symba to break down his cutting-edge approach to breaking into the rap game, and Jenna Bandy to talk about her experience in the NBA Celebrity Game and how she built her career as a content creator.

This one is packed with laughs, completely unfiltered, in the only way ALL THE SMOKE knows how.
