In this episode of Shot Clock Scribbles, I break down the hottest storylines from the first quarter of the NBA season. From the uncertainty surrounding Giannis and the Bucks, to Jonathan Kuminga’s situation with the Warriors, to the surprising 30% surge in league viewership — I’m covering all angles.

I dive into which teams have handled back-to-backs the best, who’s struggling, and who’s been pushed to the limit early on. I also give my NBA Cup prediction, share my experience watching Jalen Williams get his jersey retired at Santa Clara, and hand out early-season awards including MVP, DPOY, MIP, Sixth Man, Rookie of the Year, Clutch Player, and Coach of the Year.

A deep conversation with sports agent & entrepreneur Kiley Romero on breaking barriers, Latina leadership in business, the military foundation that shaped her, mentorship, and why Taylor Swift inspires her most. A story of resilience, vision, and building your own lane.

Recorded Wednesday, November 5 — it’s another full-court press of hoops talk. We’re running by the numbers from Monday night, diving into Hot Topics, tapping in with Kings Corner, and revisiting the good, the bad, and the downright confusing teams so far. The energy’s high, the takes are real, and the hoop talk? Certified fresh.
