Nekias Duncan on Bucks' Switching Defense, Giannis vs. J. Kidd & 3-Big Lineup (Hear District Ep. 89)

Nekias Duncan of The Dunker Spot Podcast joins Hear District to break down the Milwaukee Bucks' evolving defense, 3-big lineups and what they've learned from Kevin Porter Jr.'s absence.

They dive into AJ Green’s importance, surviving the non-Giannis minutes and what “simplifying” the Bucks’ defense really looks like, from rebounding margins to switching schemes & zone defense.

Plus, MJ peels back the curtain on Giannis' recent interactions with Jason Kidd, his maturity this season, how his MVP case stacks up around the league, and Milwaukee's place in a heated East.

Later, MJ & Kris highlight the powerful life and story of late basketball legend, Michael Ray Richardson, including his brilliance on and off the court, his fight with prostate cancer, and why he still deserves his place in the Basketball Hall of Fame despite a stigma that’s lasted decades.
