The games might be over in the NBA (unless you count summer league), so Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation’s NBA-Team, are going to entertain the basketball podcast masses and play a game of their own. In this episode, they will discuss mega trades of years past and try to determine once and for all who won and who wound up holding the bag. Why did Chris Paul’s team both win AND lose in the trade that brought him to Houston? How badly did Sam Presti drop the ball when he sent James Harden out of Oklahoma City? And why does the Rudy Gobert trade remind Riche so much of a previous super deal: The Carmelo Anthony/Knicks deal? So suit up and take it out in episode 245 with the NBA-Team!

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we celebrate the recent Mid-Summer Classic by presenting to you two baseball themed episodes for the All-Star Game.
First, we watch dozens of legends participate in an old timers game whose participants span almost 50 years of Major League Baseball, the oldest of whom pulls off the highly improbable.
Then, our journey to this year's All Star festivities continues with the 1990 edition, one with great pitching, first appearances by several baseball legends, and a lengthy rain delay. We'll continue talking about the rain delay next week.
