The Athletic NBA Daily

All the Athletic NBA Shows are good but Slam n Jam is the best NBA podcast out there, I look forward to it every week. BUT I need to call attention to a grave injustice during 76ers trivia last week. Andrew was up 2 points and selected question 2, which was a multi-part answer about rookies. Andrew got 1 point (Allen Iverson) and Trill got 1 point (Joel Embiid), and after the question Alex said that Andrew only led by 1 now, but he should’ve still been up by 2. Normally it’s whatever, but Trill won trivia by 1 point, meaning they should’ve gone to SUDDEN DEATH. Still though, love the podcast so much, best NBA podcast out there.

i js started listening to this and i’m a teen but this is honestly amazing it keeps me interested and it’s captivating also it has good info abt the nba and just like an overview of basically everything so definitely listen

Dave is fine, but it feels like a loss to put all of the shows eggs in his basket. I like the cohosts too, but the old rotating panels and different focuses on different days felt more interesting and fresh rather than having the same, one-note update show every day. No one really likes a daily update show. Justice for Nerder!

I had somewhat high expectations for this podcast given the Athletic’s usually stellar journalism. I was wrong. This is slightly improved from its previous incarnation, but still the hosts talk over each other constantly and argue over their own uninformed “hot takes” which are rarely interesting. Oh, and one of them used to work for the Warriors and is quick to point that out in every episode whether or not it is relevant to the discussion.
