  • Anthony Gill is a REAL one

    Anthony Gill is a special kind of dude. He’s a real one. Just so wise with how he describes his mindset and interaction with the whole organization and teammates. He could be bitter and mad about wanting to play more minutes, but this dude genuinely loves seeing his teammates succeed. So grounded. Not to mention he balls out once his number gets called. AG is the man ✊

  • Chris Miller is a GEM

    Us Wizards fans are lucky to have Chris Miller on the sidelines. This dude has been around for multiple eras. He can connect with the players and bring the history of the Wizards into an interview on the fly. When I heard he had a podcast I knew right away it would be good. And man I was not disappointed. I love the player interviews. He even got fellow DC native David Aldridge on here. Keep ‘em coming Chris, we are loving it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Rui

    Good podcast on Rui. Even though I’m a die hard Lebron fan I’m also a die hard Gonzaga basketball fan and I’ve watched Rui grow into a superstar from day one. I have a lot of insight about him. ZAG coaches from the start said Rui will be a star by his junior year. That was Gonzaga’s plan. I have more insight on him if you want to know more. You’ve got a future All-Star caliper player. I subscribed to this podcast. Thanks guys Josh Boone
