A thread to talk about NBA Podcasts / Personalities / Announcers / Shows / Broadcasters / Commentators

“We were in the locker room for 9 hours after the game. Oklahoma didn't want us to go anywhere... Shoutout Chris Paul, he gave us 15 bottles of wine. We got drunk, not gonna lie."

Lol whoever this guy is he’s on the money. I can’t stand EJ

TBH @Jumpshot8 I thought it was in bad taste so I took it down.

I should've said Eddie Johnson is awful.

I hate being that blunt, but it's very bad. https://t.co/yJNcxTX9PS

who sponsors this podcast

I still listen to the pod but the ad reads are so annoying because they blend it into the conversation. And my Xmas dream is to get rid of Tommy.

normally i would be expecting the ad money to dry up, but i don't think the sportsbook money is drying up anytime soon

i cannot handle the name "the old man and the three" i am sorry but

It’s truly the worst pod name

he should embrace the fatalism its the inspiration be like i shot all these threes and for what just to have a podcast, shit like that

lmao salute

had to do some digging to figure out what the hell this meant but:

GOING FOR TWO
Kevin Arnovitz
An openly gay NFL quarterback finds his meticulously-planned life upended on and off the field when he
falls for a charming high school teacher during the most important season of his career

sorry, the blacklist is a list of scripts that some consortium of ppl have judged to be the best unproduced scripts in hollywood. ngl that premise sounds kinda terrible lol but good for kevin

*nfl quarterback falling in love* i gotta go throw the ball now call you monday

i guess if you're gonna quit your cushy and presumably well paying job covering the NBA for espn you might as well do it for a cheesy rom com script that might make you like $10 million or something

who's making $10M on a rom com spec

oh i didn’t mean spec, i mean more like making a hit film that gets you residuals or whatever (idk how hollywood works)

here are today’s streaming options for yesterday’s LA/BOS game 🤔

keep in mind i pay for this service

recommend skipping that one tbh

can understand not wanting to be around jalens mid life crisis fashion

It’s time. After 23 years with ESPN, we have mutually decided to move on. I’ve learned everything I know there, met my best friends there, met my wife there, and leave with zero regrets. I can’t wait to share what’s next.

haha

jacobys always been very nondescript to me. offers nothing

hes pretty good at talking like he should be the host of a show where the rest of the guys are ugly sports experts with terrible voices

where else are you gonna find a guy who's friends with jalen rose and bill simmons??

lol.. and yeah a host could work

FINALLY a Lowe Post that covers the Lakers' trade options

BBC airing 9 NBA games this season, starting with Paris last night and including a handful of playoff games

a transparent bid to advertise League Pass to international fans but I support it

smart.

in other news.. tons of layoffs today at sbnation/vox for a lot of nba writers/media peeps

https://www.nexttv.com/news/its-on-bally-sports-rsns-headed-for-bankruptcy

Basketball code reached its apex in conversation during last year’s playoff series. Brooks also clubbed Gary Payton II with a flagrant 2 call, which led to the Warriors role player fracturing his elbow. Then, the physicality – and the debates of the intentions – heightened when Jordan Poole pulled Morant’s knee for a loose ball to deem him out for the playoff series.

omg why can't these writers actually write?

lmao the fuck are those words

that is atrocious but at the same time it's a random sbnation blogger who you probably shouldn't be reading

I know but I remember early when they started that they could make decent sentences (Ziller in particular), now the site is practically unreadable.
