Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch are back with another episode of the Over and Back classic NBA podcast but this time instead of talking the past, we're talking the present as we preview the NBA season. Of course, we had to put a historical spin on it so we preview the season while referencing the past! Unfortunately the podcast begins with breaking news about Steve Nash missing the 2014-15 NBA season and the likely end of his historic career.

Our regularly schedule podcast begins with discussions include comparable teams to this year's Cleveland Cavaliers, if the Cavaliers are the favorite to win the NBA title and LeBron James' career arc and place in history. We also preview playoff teams in both conferences and discuss the dominance of the NBA's Western Conference over the last 15-20 years.

The podcast wraps up with a discussion of the best retirement classes as we predict this year's crop of retirees as well as what records are on the line this year from a multitude of players including Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki and LeBron James.
