Plus a Kyle Kuzma exclusive interview.
Just a few podcasts for you this week over All-Star weekend. As usual, we begin with the home team. Though the Deer Diaries crew didn’t get together last weekend, enjoy this on-location insight from Kyle Carr, who was in the stands for the Bucks-Sixers tilt on Sunday:
1995 NCAA champion Kris Johnson and his dad, 2025 Basketball Hall of Fame finalist Marques Johnson have a post-deadline episode where they wax poetic about Khris Middleton’s tenure in MIlwaukee, giving him his flowers over highlights of his big shots over the last decade plus. The Johnsons then discussed Kyle Kuzma’s addition to the team, complete with some video highlighting Kuz’s footwork, post moves, and driving ability. Knicks legend and broadcaster Walt “Clyde” Frazier even drops in briefly for some thoughts on Jericho Sims. The pod begins with a short interview between MJ and Kuz at a recent practice:
Additionally on Bucks+ this week, Gale Klappa has a conversation with Bucks GM Jon Horst about the deadline moves. He has some Middleton thoughts that aren’t much different than what we already heard earlier in the week, but he did have an interesting take on Ryan Rollins. As we’ve noted, Rollins is both coming up on his two-way limit and dealing with a shoulder injury. However, Horst indicates in this interview that Rollins is not only healthy, but he is seemingly no longer playing through an injury. Draw your own conclusions here:
