For our final two players, we quantify the unique and devastating forms of “gravity” in basketball. In particular, off-ball gravity that is essentially missing from the box score and traditional NBA stats or measurements, the strongest interior force... more
We look at, perhaps, the 3 best peaks of the 21st century, all from slightly different time periods, environments and circumstances. How does an “ideal” or non ideal environment influence how we evaluate a mega peak? How do we account for era changes... more

Please bring back the greatest peaks on youtube!! Big fan of the podcast on apple music and YouTube. I would love for you guys to bring back the greatest peaks during the downtime of the boring offseason as other basketball podcasts struggle to find topics to talk about and i get tired of hearing the same things from other podcasts.
Ben has wonderful passion, knowledge and statistics that are loquaciously woven together to paint a perfect summer picture. Longer episodes are greatly appreciated, was disappointed with EP 3 that there was no mention of Ben Wallace, but maybe he is still to come?!?
These guys are top tier content.
No Chris Webber mention?
Ben brings facts and a great combo of historical analysis with remarkable insight. Unfortunately, Cody doesn’t add much value. While I do appreciate Ben trying to bring someone in, I think he could do much better. (And I’m the biggest Bucks fan alive). Personal opinion, but as a grammar teacher how does Cody use “like” every 5th word? Just horrible to hear.
Just so confused why you would have a teacher who just gives his random opinion on this great pod
