Best NBA podcast

Brian is my favourite analyst along with Banned McMahon and Timmy BT. They always have great banter and I love Brian’s deep dives into the more obscure facets of NBA life. Keep being awesome.

NBA to NZ

Brian love the show. listening to you guys talking about restarting the NBA and I thought why not come and play it in New Zealand we’re about to open up again active cases are in the hundreds and professional sports can start again. The bubble issue would no longer be a problem. Our govt would probably love it bring money back into the country.

Poor sound editing

Content ok but very hard to hear some of the guest’s audio. Need to invest in some good audio engineers.
