  • Everything Basketball

    Matt and Justin provide so much more than you would expect from the typical basketball podcast... they think outside the box with their analysis, but more importantly they look into the basketball adjacent stories, like recent documentaries, NBA Top Shots, new books and NBA journalists and bring in great expert guests to discuss their topics. Highly recommend if you like funny smart sports talk!

  • Great podcast!!

    I watch basketball, but I don’t follow up on things that are happening off the court. This podcast goes into detail about things that are happening on the court and off the court.

    So, if you’re like me who doesn’t pay attention to what’s happening off the court, then this podcast is for you. Catch up and know a little more about the players.
