Big Baller Bucket

The Big Baller Bucket is a bi-weekly segment run during the NBA regular season. Each individual on the show will be assigned a NBA team to represent them over the next two weeks. If that team finishes with a losing record, the assignee will have to perform a punishment on the podcast. Teams are assigned at random through drawing ping pong balls from a bucket. First draw can be thrown back into the bucket, second draw is final.
