Zach for me personally is the best nba analyst, with unbiased takes and great combination of analyzing the stats and eye-testing. A must listen podcast for those who love basketball. The intro could be a bit better!!!

The Best
Zach Lowe is simply the best basketball writer out there, extremely knowledgeable but also able to make the intricacies of basketball interesting whilst doing a stellar job of hosting; great at conducting interviews. For anyone who really wants to learn about basketball, this is the podcast for you, packed with league-wide inside information and rumors, funny NBA stories but also detailed and accurate analysis of topics ranging from the salary cap and contract negotiations to defensive sets and team philosophy. This is a 'must listen' for hoop junkies and league pass nerds!
