London has become an NBA city!

In this episode of the Hoop Genius Podcast, Mo and Coach Brendan Suhr break down how the NBA took over London for a historic weekend, from Ja Morant’s dominant performance with the Memphis Grizzlies to Anthony Black’s dunk that may already be the dunk of the season.

Mo takes you inside the entire London takeover: interviews with Joakim Noah, Paolo Banchero, Desmond Bane and Anthony Black; Nike and Jordan Brand activations, the House of Ja event, and hosting NBA 2K26 at the NBA House. You’ll hear how NBA 2K26 Season 4 is changing the game, including new All-Star Weekend features and rewards.

On the court, we dig into what Ja Morant’s London performance says about his future in Memphis, why Detroit’s rise to the top of the East is no fluke, and why the Boston Celtics are winning despite not being built like a Finals team. Coach Suhr explains why Joe Mazzulla deserves Coach of the Year consideration and why the Knicks’ defensive identity has collapsed.

We also go deep on the Western Conference: concerns about OKC’s injuries, why Minnesota is the most dangerous matchup team, why the Lakers are not real contenders, and how the Clippers have quietly become a problem again behind Kawhi Leonard and James Harden.

If you care about the NBA’s global growth, real basketball analysis, and what’s actually happening behind the headlines, this episode is for you.
