Customer Reviews
Saturday Slam and Jam I choose you!
Been listening to you guys since the start of last season and it’s one of my favourite podcasts. Turns out I needed the Pokémon segment to finally get me to review you guys, it’s always nice when shared passions mashup!
As an NBA fan in the UK, we don’t have as much coverage over here, so I’m so appreciative of The Athletic for the in depth coverage you provide and you guys in particular for this podcast. It’s always a combination of fun, insightful, and always has great stats and facts for basketball nuts. Keep up the great work guys, and let’s go Dubs!
Saturday slam and jam is the goat!!!!
I love the Saturday slam and jam and all the other athletic podcasts that come out. I listen to you guys every week and enjoy trying to guess the Andrew vs the beat questions. Being a rockets fan I love the wheel of fandom because it allows you to shine the light on teams that aren’t doing as well. Keep up the good work guys I look forward to listening to you again next week. P.s we need a one off Alex vs the beat please…..
From Leeds, England
Great pod
Before I read this review Alex, I just want to say I do think the thunder need to trade at least 2 firsts and Poku (the first of our hearts) for Julius Randle at the deadline. His brand of bully-ball is exactly what they need next to ‘mr noodle arms’ Chet.
Otherwise great pod all the way from England xoxo
