Top NBA podcast

Being from New Zealand NBA news is in short supply. Yeah we have ESPN but it becomes very repetitive and you can almost guess what they will say. These boys are true fans and they just keep it real with awesome laugh out loud moments all the time. I stumbled upon it after searching for a quality nba podcast and now listen to it every morning.
