  • Good production overall, some needs better on air media training

    I don’t want to hear 20 “you know”’s in an already slower paced interview. Also, some hosts started talking before fully planning the sentence and ends up making random points that just fills the time without much meaning. Otherwise, the experienced on-air talents are clearly better.

  • Why is Dave DuFour on this?

    Did Dave DuFour pay someone to be on this pod or did his relative invent podcasts? Not sure why else anyone has to hear his voice and takes — and by takes I mean he’s taking away time better spent from us all. Would hate to see how Dave DuThree or Dave DuTwo would be at this point.

  • Slam n’ Jam is the Best!!!!

    I’m 12 years old, and this is my absolute favorite podcast. Every time I hear that opening music, I zone out from my bustling family and zone in on basketball. I now love sports media, and I’m a total stat head! Keep up the awesome content!

Q: What would it take for Kevin Durant to get his jersey retired?
I wouldn't be shocked if they did it. I personally don't think that he should because he was there for four years. But I expect the Lakers are going to probably retire; they'll most likely get a statue, too.
