Bob Schmidt is back with Broken Jumper, an NBA podcast from the voice of AM 570 LA Sports. We're nearly 20 games in, and we take a look at the breakouts and flat out failures of this early NBA season. Michael Porter Jr. signed a massive extension this summer, and now may miss the season with more back issues, Miles Bridges has vaulted into the early lead amongst the most improved players, and the Houston Rockets are historically bad. Isaiah Stewart's tantrum costs Lebron a game, and Tyrese Maxey's play is submarining his fellow Klutch client, Ben Simmons.
