By far the best hoops podcast I’ve listened to. Can’t wait for the new pods to drop on a weekly basis, literally check it almost daily. Austin’s always been one of my fav hoopers and he has a great way of breaking down the game! Keep it up A. Rivers and Pasha! Don’t ever stop this podcast! Great getaway from life and can get lost in their conversations!
I have a love-hate relationship with this podcast. I love Austin and Pausha’s comraderie and their knowledge, but Austin especially needs to develop his craft speaking, especially in treating Pausha as a partner and actively asking for his opinion. They could also use more structure where both give their takes on whatever topic. Hearing Austin go off repeatedly on multiple topics gets old quick.
Big things coming from AR, he’s been doing his thing since he’s been sidelined from his 🏀 career. He says he’s retired but truthfully the Bucks or Magic could use him right now. Pasha isn’t just his Tommy Alter either, he gives good coverage and opinions that don’t always agree with Austin. Keep doing your thing fellas, hopefully ya get that bag 💼 from NBC n can become the Rogan of hoop pods.
I guess this podcast is history. No episodes for two months. Adios.
I enjoy the comradarie between Austin and Pasha and Austin’s and Austin’s NBA-veteren perspective. Looking forward to this season. I hope Pasha carves out his own niche and commands more airtime.
