  • Right on the news

    I love that this podcast is right on the news and the guys’ commentary on big stories is very timely. Their emergency podcast on the firing of Milwaukee coach Adrian Griffin is a great example. When something big happens in the NBA, these guys make it a priority to serve their listeners with fresh perspective.
