Shout out to CArson's Samoan Heritage Festival, and we'll give you some tips on how to make the most of your day fest experience (bring a chair, for real). America's Independence Day is this weekend, free yourself from the shackles of political divisiveness and talk to people that think differently than you. Hard pivot! So many NBA trades have happened this week. We'll talk about Jaylen Brown sent out of Boston, Kawhi Leonard heading back to Canada, and the Portland Blazers acquiring Ja Morant. We'll wrap up with where we think LeBron James will play his 24th season after informing the Lakers he'll be playing elsewhere. Thanks for tuning in!

Ballinesian | Ep 211 - How to Fix Miss American Samoa pageant, Vita Vea hold-in at Bucs camp, Giannis traded to Miami Heat
2w ago01:15:30Tap to summarizeBALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORKWelcome back to Samoans talking Sports, and how to avoid confusion and drama at next year's Miss American Samoa pageant. Kala jokes. Let's focus any outrage towards positive change, not into insulting our people and sisters. We'll talk about Bucs NT Vita Vea holding in during camp while negotiating a new contract and why the money may get complicated in an offseason where Tampa Bay also debates extending QB Baker Mayfield. Get that bag, Toko. Something similar may be on the horizon for Chargers' Edge Tuli Tuipulotu next year, but the emerging force across from Khalil Mack totaled 13.5 sacks last season and has increased his sack total every year of his career. (Surely, GM Joe Hortiz will make this a non-issue by extending the former Trojan sooner than later.) One of the best college players in the country from Forest's favorite college basketball team got drafted fourth overall to his favorite NBA team, what's that like?! He says there was a Tarheel's player drafted to the Bulls that worked out to the tune of six titles. (He also fairly mentioned Coby White 7th overall in 2019 didn't pan out as well.) We also examine two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo taking his Freak talents to South Beach in a trade alongside Bobby Portis, for three first-round picks, a second-round pick, a pick swap, Tyler Herro and three other former Heat players. WHO WON THE TRADE! It'll come down to whether or not Miami is playing in the ECF and NBA Finals over the next four years. Thanks for listening.

Ballinesin | Ep 210 - Growing up "Afakasi", 7:10 Train to Portland, The Captain Jalen Brunson, Minicamp updates for Raiders/Chargers
3w ago01:21:02Tap to summarizeBALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORKWelcome back to Samoans talking Sports, and also what it was like growing up as "afakasi" (half of one, "half-blood", "half-caste") or raising a two-blooded kid nowadays. Some see this term as demeaning and needing to be phased out. We'll also talk about Forest's train trip from Tacoma to Portland to catch Chelsea Gray and the Las Vegas Aces play the Portland Fire. Awesome to be able to spend time with friends and family. We will discuss the New York Knicks winning the NBA Finals and attempt to figure out Jalen Brunson's new standing among the greatest of all time. And we'll finish this episode with some updates from Raiders and Chargers minicamps.

Ballinesian | Ep 209 - Ghetto Samoans, Betting on your own Team, AJ Epenesa to Eagles, JuJu Smith-Schuster to Giants, Myles Garrett to Rams, AJ Brown to Patriots, Raiders/Chargers updates
4w ago01:19:58Tap to summarizeBALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORKWelcome back to the show! We are Samoans talking Sports. And also how dumb it was to hop on TikTok and call American Polynesians "the ghettoest" about their graduation customs. Where's all this self-hate and hostility coming from? Utah? We'll also discuss professional gambler and college QB Brandon Soresby's situation so we can argue over whether or not its ok for you to bet on your own team to win; Coach says its a slippery slope, I say it makes the player try harder! What do you think? Finally we're going through some player swaps that happened last week, including AJ Epenesa signing with the Eagles, JuJu Smith-Schuster taking his talents to the Big Apple and also names like Myles Garrett and AJ Brown getting sent to greener pastures. Happy 8th Anniversary of his 30th Birthday to the Uso Cam!
