Excellent Basketball Discussion
There is no other daily basketball podcast that comes close to this one. Even ESPN Today falls far short of the comical and insightful discussion that occurs daily between J.E. Skeets and Tas Melas. The only complaint is that listners had to subscribe to a new feed this year. If you get the oppertunity check out the video version, they made the transition very well.
Superior Basketball Fundamentals
This is a must-listen podcast for anyone who ever feels the BBall itch. Two guys who love the game almost as much as I do rappin (sometimes literally) about the previous days news and highlights makes my trip to to work just a little bearable everyday. I never wrote a review before, but after 2+ years of enjoyment, I owed 'em.
Lots of fun.
These guys are really funny, make great points and produce the most entertaining sports podcast. Good music interludes, post-adolescent humor all while talking NBA.
