What is there to say?
If you’re here, you know who these guys are, and it’s a perfect podcast.

I would like to know who thinks of the Arrested Development-style episode titles. Because you guys are very good with witty phrases wrapped around some sort of universal saying or reference.
Most recently: “Tell It to the Judges” for the All Star weekend podcast, a play on “tell it to the judge” that everyone has heard before.
Also: “Show Me the Money” for Siakam trade, and his upcoming contract.
“All that Jazz” for a pod about the Jazz.
“I Like to Move it, Move It” for a hectic day of WNBA free agency.
Kudos.

Five Stars.

Dwayne Schintius's Mullet ,

Just not good.

Finally gave this pod a shot as I’ve seen it in the nba search. I thought the name was lame and lazy so I stayed away. Should’ve trusted my gut, this pod is boring and overall pretty terrible. Wake up you two!!! Bang some pots together or drink a lot of coffee, something.

Notthatjj ,

Great Pod with Great Hosts

Nekias and Steve know basketball and their love for the game and breaking it down for fans is unparalleled. I love that they cover the W as well as the NBA. They also create an awesome and inclusive community for the Dunker Nation.
