Lowe post
Best nba podcast, Been listening since grantland days
Zach Lowe is KING.
Been following the NBA since my childhood and I can tell you that Zach Lowe is definitively the most knowledgeable all-around NBA reporter in the world. Thank you to this man for always bringing exceptional analysis including a mixture of both stats and eye test which is an absolutely necessity when it comes to basketball.
Never stop The Lowe Post!!!
Most of Zach’s ESPN Colleagues Except For One ….
When Zach wishes to have a segment about the Warriors he invariably brings on his ESPN colleague, Kendra Andrews. As somebody who has followed the Dubs since 1971 and is keenly aware of the different writers and assorted media that cover the Warriors, I don’t think she provides enough experience and insight relative to some of her peers such the Athletic’s Anthony Slater. ‘Guess, though, Lowe is committed - perhaps contractually since they’re both connected to ESPN - to have be the ‘chosen’ speaker on all things concerning the Warriors. It’s too bad because on the Ringer platform, Ryen Rusillio, with apparently more freedom to select his guests - regularly has the aforementioned Anthony Slater when wishing to talk about the Warriors. His podcast is all the more richer because of it.
Hey, Zach, ‘most of your other guests are fine, but Kendra. As soon as I hear she’s going to be guesting on your show, I turn the channel
