Customer Reviews
Excellent Hoops Talk for the Culture!!
Love this pod, I am a Celts and Mavs fan and there is no other podcast like this. Great commentary and personalities -the only criticism I have are the microphones- they definitely need better mics!!
Love the new look
Washburn, Blakely are two of the most piped in reporters in the NBA. They tell it how it is & don’t cower to fan criticism. I love them. But no offense fellas, i love Kwani the most. That girl knows how to control a mic better than any most others in the biz. In all seriousness, I loved the A-List and am psyched to hear/watch what’s coming in 2024 under new branding. GO CELTICS! ☘️
Three of my favorites
Always enjoy the conversation and insight that Kwani, Gary and Sherrod provide. One of my top listens for Celtics/NBA talk.
