Most entertaining / interesting NBA pod

Listening to NBA podcasts for years (Lowe Post, Mismatch, BW..), Bill has an amazing way to mix NBA relevant content, deep history knowledge and entertaining anecdotes. Still the best at it !
Thanks Bill !

Lazyrider34 ,

Great to have you back!

Love the podcast! Like the expansion with Channel 33. Just discovered Chris and Andy and will have to watch Fargo now...

Just keep it up please and if you could ever get some sports people from Grantland (rip) such as Zach, Mays and your "son" Barnwell to at least talk on a pod, that would be great too.

Pods are just great for people like me in Europe! Get to follow US sports and pop culture more easily.
