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. "

Oakland Filmmaker Bobino’s Perseverance Pays off with Success of My Culture

"I went to the Netflix office, had on my suit and the receptionist said 'Good morning' and I just walked right past her like I was supposed to be there. And then I got to the elevator and I'm like 'I got this far. Now I gotta go talk to somebody.' So I asked some woman, 'Who do you talk to about getting a film distributed. I just made a movie.' She said, 'Okay, let me get back to you, sir.' And she goes in the elevator. I didn't know what floor to go to. Then security comes down and escorts me out of there...so driving back I felt good because at least I tried. I had confidence enough in myself to think if I could have got past that door, if somebody saw my movie, it would have been picked up.'

NBA contributor Bill Herenda on Warriors’ Struggles, New Season and Life in Hollyood

"You cannot get caught up on the results and you have to really focus on the process because there could be a variety of reasons why people get booked certain jobs and why sometimes it doesn't work out. I think it's the matter of being the best you can be and the role will find you. ...'Everyone else is taken, You have to be yourself.' I think Oscar Wilde said that and that's true because you can't get hung up on the results. You're going to have good auditions and you're going to have auditions that miss the mark and I've had those as well. It's about enjoying, staying in the moment and the results will ultimately take care of themselves.

Fifty No’s for 1 Yes–Why the Numbers Work for Actor Solana Paz

"Auditioning and acting--getting the gig are two different jobs, very different jobs. When you to go an audition. your job is to carry out the audition, period. It's not to get the job because you may or may not get the job and that's completely unrelated to what you did in the audition. So when I go to the auditions, I'm going just for that--for the audition, for the experience. I love it. I audition for three main reasons."

"If I don't get it, it's there loss. There's so many factors. If they don't want an accent and I went with my best accent, okay. That's out of my control at that moment.

It's not up to me."
