NBA contributor, college basketball analyst and actor Bill Herenda

Veteran NBA insider Bill Herenda takes a look at the start of the NBA season with the biggest surprises and disappointments after two weeks. Does the sample size reveal anything about any problems in Brooklyn? Herenda also touches on how social media can be fuel for motivation in the example of Steph Curry’s career-best 62-point outburst against Portland. And the need to dismiss potential online distractions in the case of the Sacramento Kings with the father of Marvin Bagley tweeting his son should be traded. Which rookies are making the biggest impact? Bill is also an actor in Los Angeles, reflecting on his breakthrough performance on S.W.A.T, motivation from a star from The Office and advice for artists in a challenging profession.

NBA insider Bill Herenda on early season trends; Curry explosion.

On the Marvin Bagley controversy in Sacramento: "I think this will blow over myself, personally. They've got to rise above it and realize it's got to be about winning; not about the scuttlebutt or family innuendo...it's unfortunate. I talk to a lot of people and they don't think that players have really changed that much but perhaps the people around them and I think this is a reflection of that. "

Why Chris Filippi Embraced Challenge of 48 miles in 48 hours.

"Every day you've got to get yourself up. You've got to use that drive to...answer the bell. And that's one of the things that appealed to me about the 4 x 4 x 48 is that essentially what your doing is--you're not taking a punch. You're not in a ring. But there are similarities to a boxing match in that you need to answer the bell not once, not twice, but you need to do it twelve times."

Seattle Storm CEO and GM Alisha Valavanis Looks Back at Championship Season

"From the very beginning, the union, the league and the teams committed to 'Say Her Name" and Black Lives Matter and those movements as kind of the focus of the season and I think it was inspiring to watch these players work on the court and work off the court. And I know the teams around the league backed the players and really focused on those two campaigns, 'Say Her Name' and Black Lives Matter."

L.A. Casting Director Matt Barry Looks Back While Embracing New Challenges

"An actor tries to figure out why they didn't get the job. And the truth is, you should go in with the attitude of 'Did I do what I wanted to do?' The rest is out of your hands and I wish I had known that as an actor to just let it go and not wait by the phone. 'Hey, did you get feedback?'

Bill Herenda on the NBA Copes with Crisis

"Justice, equality and doing the right thing and treating people the right way and respecting everyone's life dwarfs the importance of basketball but if basketball is the vehicle you can use to generate attention and garner support for all these issues that are so important....then you try to utilize that avenue again to highlight the issues and affect change."

From Eureka to the Big Time: Whitney Allen on the Cusp of the Radio Hall of Fame

"It's been really hard for me to say, 'Put me in the Radio Hall of Fame' because I want to take all these guys with me...we're a small company. There's four of us. That's it. We have to do every little thing and there's no way I could even do one of their jobs. They have everything ready for me when it's time to go on the radio. The thought of doing it without them is not even possible."
