Thinking basketball podcast.

My name is Ben.

Welcome back to another episode.

And the 2025 NBA season is in full stream.

Today, it's one of my favorite episodes of the year. It's our first power rankings

podcast stuff related to membership. So I just want to throw that out there for anyone interested. We will still have

some free public videos throughout the year and we'll certainly have shorter versions of full

members videos. That's what we did in the first video of the year with OKC. We have a short version
