  • Great podcast

    A solid podcast, I’m guessing the few one stars are Bronny fan boys who are butt hurt.

    But great story telling and insight.

  • 🇬🇧🏀💙

    This podcast is invaluable, both in how it provides quality analysis from great basketball minds such as analyst Mo Mooncey and former NBA All-Star BJ Armstrong, and also in how it helps elevate the sport in the UK, where despite basketball being one of the fastest growing sports, the government refuses to fund or promote. 10/10

  • NBA hate trolling

    It’s clear they come up with show agenda each week based on whatever negative press they can dig up. Negativity sells, I get it. But only up to a point. Show is just lazy.

  • This is comfortably the best sports podcast in the UK, and it’s not even close.

    As a new fan, the consistency and quality of this podcast (literally daily episodes breaking down last night’s games with a bonafide NBA legend) has been a massive catalyst in how much I enjoy basketball from the UK - cannot recommend enough to new or old fans of the sport.

Q: Share any insight into Cam Thomas's journey and why he's struggled to stick with Brooklyn and Milwaukee.
