The Best

TBJ is the best basketball podcast.

Looking Forward to New Episodes

I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore NBA fan (Would rather watch Hockey, but I do watch the NBA casually as well and I am a Warriors fan) but I listened to a full season of TBJ last year (2012-2013) and it was such an awesome podcast. They talk about the games and the news, but they do it in such a fun and irreverant way that even if you were not a basketball fan, the podcast would still be Entertaining. I'm looking forward to thier return and can't wait till another season of TBJ goodness. Hopefully they do come back soon.
