my fav hoops pod rn is brian windhorst's espn pod w/ the other espn basketball ppl. it's basically the old truehoop podcast but w/ all good/smart writers and no "personalities" like amin or the more talk radio-ish guys that used to be on the truehoop pods. windhorst is kind of a garbage writer but as a moderator of conversation he's good bcuz he is very very knowledgeable about the league.
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 March 2019 20:18 (five years ago) link
i listen to it cause brian is good but i actually hate the combinations of guests who rarely seem to have any chemistry. other than bontemps whose grumpiness i enjoy they can be a drag.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 17 March 2019 21:06 (five years ago) link

players only is done.

i did enjoy some players only broadcasts but when it was bad it was insufferable... they also did it too often. would've liked to see them tweak a bit but oh well
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 24 July 2019 21:56 (five years ago) link
yah you both are otm. kinda wish they tried to hone it to a good spot and adapt it rather than dump it completely but the naysayers were pretty harsh on it from the start.
― big city slam (Spottie), Wednesday, 24 July 2019 22:31 (five years ago) link
i think they'd just need to be more selective about the scheduling... it was a cool vibe for those middle of the season thursday night west coast TNT games that are like blazers vs rockets or whatever. but sometimes they'd get a good game where you actually wanna hear real announcers and it would be like, why'd anyone think this was a good idea
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 24 July 2019 22:45 (five years ago) link
by good game i mean big game
yeah there was one where there was some crazy shotmaking going on between two good teams and i think on a big go ahead bucket greg anthony was like "well that was a really nice look there ... well executed" or some monotone platitude and all i wanted was a breen BAAAAANG or w/e

barnes is good breaking down the game and what not from the little postgame and The Jump clips ive seen but not sure about entertaining for a 2.5 hour broadcast. its really a hard skill, even the best at it get bad after a while (van gundy).

an idea for players only would be to rotate different guys in and out like a quarter at a time or something

i feel like basically every media company be it in journalism or podcasting or whatever that covers basketball will at least want to have a conversation w/ him, so i think it will depend on what he actually wants to do i.e. does he want the balance between writing and podcasting and video to be different than it was at ESPN? does he like the stability of a salary or is he willing to do something on his own? if i was him i would do a deal w/ a podcast company and then have a substack or patreon type situation for my columns + subscriber only pods. but some people do like working for institutions. curious to see what he does but i don't think his work is going to get any worse, if anything it should get better. so i feel for zach but looking forward to his next chapter
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Friday, 27 September 2024 20:30 (four days ago) link
it does seem like the ringer would be the natural spot, he’s elevate their NBA coverage significantly and he’s BFFs with simmons already, and it would be a good spot to keep his podcast visible. though I really doubt they’d be able to afford his market rate

ringer is owned by spotify and bill simmons has some executive podcast title there, spotify is the biggest spender in the space hell prob end up there if they feel like paying him
― lag∞n, Friday, 27 September 2024 20:36 (four days ago) link
yeah a lot of it depends on what kinda money is out there for him. if he was making 7+ figures then the thing nobody knows is how much of a haircut he is willing to take. i think if he wanted to maximize his potential earnings he wouldn't take a salaried position and would instead sell a podcast and keep side income avenues open but maybe i'm wrong. perhaps the athletic has the checkbook, idk. also possible the ringer has set ups where they cut certain people in on podcast profits along w/ salary or something
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Friday, 27 September 2024 20:37 (four days ago) link

i bet he gets a raise to go to spotify and do pods, maybe an occasional article for the ringer, tho once youre getting rich talking into your computer who really wants to type out what you think about some pick and roll coverage

bryan curtis made a good point on simmons podcast essentially saying that ESPN just agreed to spend $2 billion a year to air NBA games, so even the $1 million plus you're spending on lowe is a pittance when viewed thru the lens of supporting interest in your own investment

espn has plenty of nfl online personalities and talking heads who analyze the sport at a granular strategic level. seems like they don't think there's a real appetite for that kind of basketball discussion, and/or are just going all in on the pro wrestling aspects of star- and narrative-based nba coverage
