Experience
Matt has covered the NBA in some capacity since 2007 and was one of the Action Network’s first full-time hires.
Prior to his time at Action, he wrote for CBS Sports, NBC Sports, and AOL FanHouse. He was an NBA awards voter in 2017.
Matt began his career by starting his own NBA blog, Hardwood Paroxysm, which went on to feature the writing of many NBA contemporaries across today’s media landscape.
He became one of the leading voices in the NBA MVP discussion, breaking down the cases of candidates and receiving a vote in 2017.
Matt takes a bird’s eye view of the game, recognizing the complex machinery at work with front office politics, the X’s and O’s of in-game schemes, and the way coaching shapes outcomes.
Education
Matt graduated from the University of Missouri, but did NOT graduate from the school’s prestigious journalism program.

2025-26 NBA MVP

From Buckets Pod 10/6, any book, it’s painted 100-1 across the board.
A RIDICULOUS price on the best player on the best team in the Eastern conference. Even a massive jump from Mobley would only result in more assists for Mitchell. Garland’s early season absence means straight 1-5 pick and rolls where Mitchell feasts.
Cavs won 60-plus last year, only got better with Lonzo Ball. Strus injury doesn’t scare me. Even with all that, this number being 100-1 is preposterous. #⭐️⭐️⭐️

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander+250
2025-26 NBA MVP
3u
Buckets pod 10/6. If Shai plays 65 games, it is difficult to see a path where he is not top-two. He’s still in prime age, the Thunder should still win the most games in the league, and there is an outlier possibility they go for 70-plus.
This is boring, and annoying, and also might be the best number we get on it all year given how much better OKC is than everyone else in the league. Even my contrarian ass can’t find an angle to fade this. #⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cade Cunningham+6000
2025-26 NBA MVP
1u
Buckets pod 10/6.
My numbers don’t think the Pistons will be good enough, but my gut says otherwise. I think their offseason moves meant more sustainability and creativity.
Cade has jumped big time each of the past two seasons and still hasn’t been able to convert well at the rim, where it’s easiest to shoot from. If he makes layups, that’s going to bump that scoring up above 28. He dropped 20-4-3 in less than 19 minutes in the preseason opener which, who cares, it’s preseason, but indicates his level of go right now.

My favorite longshot MVP bet the further we’ve gone into preseason. The Eurobasket leap. Odds of KD missing time. Rockets already a 50-win team. More usage with FVV and Jalen gone.

Already have big Shai position and will keep adding. If it's NOT Shai, it's more likely to be Ajay than Chet or JDub coming off injury.
