Best NBA content out there. Great mix of in depth analysis, current headlines, and some comedy thrown in the mix. Been my favorite podcast for several years now and it’s only getting better as they upload twice a week now. Whether you are an avid basketball fan, casual consumer, or NBA bettor, this should be the podcast for you. Keep it up - David Brooke
So knowledgeable
