Nekias Duncan and former NBA video coordinator and assistant coach Steve Jones provide an in-depth, analytical look at the teams, players and stories shaping the NBA.

The Dunker Spot

We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!

First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones turn their attention to the NBA Finals!

The San Antonio Spurs, fresh off knocking off the Oklahoma City Thunder in a thrilling Game 7, are set to take on the New York Knicks in a 1999 Finals rematch. The guys explore the series from all angles: matchups, lineups, schemes, potential adjustments, swing factors and more.

From there, the guys shift to the WNBA to bounce around! They check in on the Golden State Valkyries, currently sporting one of the best records in the league behind their two-way effectiveness. 

They then check back in with the Indiana Fever. Their defense -- and specifically the defense of Caitlin Clark -- became a major topic of discussion over the weekend. The guys have a nuanced conversation about where it is, the non-negotiables and what adjustments can be made.
