The haircut is conditional. Kenny Beecham says that if Trae Young fails to average 20 points per game, he'll have to wear a mohawk for a week. Guest ThreeCone is already considering what it might look like.
That personal wager sits inside a much broader basketball wish list in "10 Things I'm Most Excited About This NBA Season With Cone." The episode drew roughly 30,000 views in its first nine hours, already several times Small Ball With Kenny Beecham's usual full first-day audience.
Beecham and Cone have plenty to untangle. Philadelphia's closing lineup means balancing LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown. In Minnesota, Cone sees LaMelo Ball alongside Anthony Edwards as an intriguing offensive pairing. Beecham remembers hearing about that trade at LaGuardia Airport and uses it to discuss the boldness of Timberwolves executive Tim Connelly.
Their predictions aren't confined to the title picture, though Beecham picks Oklahoma City to win the championship. Washington's mixture of established players and young prospects gets its own turn, followed by possible trade-deadline moves and the Knicks' title defense. The episode also includes a paid ticket-platform sponsor segment.
In the comments, the guest pairing is a recurring subject: some viewers describe it as a collaboration they'd been waiting for, while another says the appearance is their introduction to Cone. Several also ask when the episodes will be available on Spotify. For this conversation, at least, the practical listening question is getting space alongside the basketball.
