Description:Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation about his Chicago roots, his development heading into next season, representing Lithuania, and the confidence he’s bringing into the next stage of his career. Matas takes us back to growing up in Chicago and shares the basketball influences that helped shape his game, where his bounce and athleticism came from, and what it means to now suit up for his hometown Chicago Bulls. He also talks about representing Lithuania in FIBA and the expectations he has for himself heading into the upcoming season. The conversation gets into the details of Matas’ offseason and the areas he’s focused on improving. That includes getting a chef to dial in his nutrition, add strength, and make sure his body is ready for the demands of next season. He also explains why he wants to bring more mid-range jumpers into his game—even if the coaching staff would rather see him stay away from them—and why he believes that shot can become another weapon in his offensive arsenal. Away from the court, Matas tells us what he might be doing if basketball wasn’t his career and gets into the music that stays in his rotation. Growing up in Chicago clearly has an impact on his playlist, because when it comes to rappers, Matas isn’t exactly hiding his Chicago bias. Plus, the crew debates the Chicago Bulls’ win total in Pick a Side, Matas talks about trash talking with Luka Dončić, opens up about his relationship with Kevin Durant, and much more.
