  • Old man and the below average three

    Traded to Denver to help strengthen roster. Arrived in Denver and never played. Couldn’t shoot. Poor defender and rebounder. But hey, we get his opinion on his peers that excel. Yay!

    Where have you been?One of the top sports casts I’ve seen. I will put the word out. No nonsense, great questions. The best Shaq interview I’ve seen. I am going to review past episodes and look forward to September when you return. Get the word out.

  • Love Cam, Hate Tommy

    Cam is a great replacement for JJ. Very thoughtful and gets other players to share differently than in almost any other interviews because he’s a respected player. Tommy is just a terrible interviewer and I don’t understand why he’s there.

  • Terrible interviewer

    Tommy alter is actually the worst interviewer I have ever listened to. I didn’t even know there were bad interviewers until I started listening to this. He gets these incredible guests and then wastes the episodes by asking the most simple, close ended questions that he literally answers as he is asking them!!

    I appreciate Cam so I’ll give it 2 stars but Tommy Alter sucks hard

  • Best Basketball Pod

    Smartest basketball talk around. Absolutely hate the sports betting advertising though. It’s constant and not at all good for sport and culture.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kon Is Ready To Help Lead The Hornets In Year 2
Q: With you guys in particular, we've talked about a lot of the exciting developments of where you are from this summer, but as a team, it's weird. It's for your second year, but you're also a leader on this team. Is there something kind of collectively as a group, even just over the next couple of months, that you guys are, you feel like is a real goal?
Knueppel says the Hornets want to move beyond the play-in and make the playoffs. He believes they can do that by playing to the standard they set for themselves every night.
Kon Is Ready To Help Lead The Hornets In Year 2
Q: Looking back this time last year, what do you know now that you wish you knew then?
Knueppel says he was anxious about making a good impression and earning playing time as a rookie. He would tell his younger self to relax, focus on what he can control, and enjoy the chance to improve.
Shaq on LeBron’s Philly Decision, His Advice to Wemby, and All of His Sidequests
Q: What advice would you give to a young big entering today's game regarding development and style?
Master your core skill, continuously improve your main strength, and then amplify it with smart play and strong positioning to ensure you're making the highest-percentage plays.
Shaq on LeBron’s Philly Decision, His Advice to Wemby, and All of His Sidequests
Q: Naively, how do you balance growing a media presence with still performing at a high level?
Shaq talks about delegation, working with experts, and protecting his time; he treats his business ventures like a roster that needs specialists to maximize each area while he focuses on core responsibilities.
Landry Shamet and John Turturro on the New York Knicks’ Championship Run
Q: Did you ever have a point where you thought this run might slip away after five straight wins?
There were moments of doubt, but the group stayed in it, kept communicating honestly, and trusted the process to turn things around rather than fold.
