The Athletic NBA Daily

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.

I’m writing this review because my Reddit post about Anthony Edwards was referenced on the Saturday slam and jam pod. That’s super cool. To be fair, it was sharing a stat from the baseball writer, also of the Athletic, Aaron Gleeman. Either way, love the pod. You guys are great. Been listening since before the format change!
