Ödül B. ,

(Probably) the best NBA podcast there is (i guess)

One of the few podcasts which I listen every episode of. Mostly sticking to the on-court stuff, including a pinch of NBA humor, it’s really great fun. It is annoying in the sense that they use numbers and a great deal of eye test on pretty much every situation and if you disagree with them, it’s probably you who’s wrong here. They also put a great deal of effort into the making of the pod and the result is one helluva pod. 10/10, would recommend, check ‘em out.
