Jay King Respect
Jay King deserves as many minutes over the expected Kings win total for the season. Review will reflect until changed.

I’m only a 7th grader, but you make my Saturday's a whole lot more fun. My only suggestion is to keep doing what you do to make this world a better place. Thank you. Lastly sorry, I am trying to make it so you guys aren’t a 1 star show which you aren’t.

Lazy Takes Galore
I know reviewing the league in a short time is a large task, but there’s a difference between quick and lazy takes. There’s better basketball podcasts out there.

All of nba media is one guy
A snarky, flippant, sarcastic man who barely watches any games. I am so sick of listening to the same surface level unserious conversations. Unfollowed.

Thanks Slam N Jam
Andrew and Alex, this might seem dramatic but your show was something I really looked forward to every week during a very difficult time in my life. Every time I heard that music and signature “Andrew, what a WEEK it was”, it put a smile on my face. Andrew vs the beat is the best segment in sports podcasting. Thank you for your awesome work!

You’re the best and so are the Bucks
Saturday Slam & Jam is the one stop shop for NBA coverage for casuals and NBA heads alike. That said, I have some thoughts: Voters’ focus on Impact Metrics means the Bucks will win exactly zero awards. And that’s good news: Giannis isn’t MVP because he’s surrounded by great players and replaced by good players. Brook isn’t DPOY because he’s got one of the best point of attack defenders (Jrue) and the absolute best free safety (Giannis) both helping him, and preventing the Defense from falling off a cliff when he’s resting. Bobby isn’t 6MOY because he can’t have an outstanding on/off differential when he’s helping carry bench units and is being compared to a strong starting lineup. Bud is not COY – because a team with this much talent SHOULD win 55 games. Horst isn’t Exec of the year because this group has been accumulated over a period of 10 years, including several key moves that preceded him, even if Crowder is the missing piece that unlocks championship equity. This team is too good to win any of the awards, because the best team is no longer the focal point of these awards. The marginal impact of each position is isolated and evaluated. And it’s tough to see this team sinking if one of the pieces is removed.

Real good stuff
Love all the pod’s incarnations, but the Saturday Slam n’ Jam is a true gem. Lighthearted, insightful and always fun. I’d also like to take this opportunity to suggest that we all start saying “Joel drops the hammer” when Embiid drains one of those buttery smooth jumpers from the nail😉 #Hinkiediedforoursins

Slammin’ Saturday Satisfaction
If you’re looking for the working man’s NBA podcast, look no further than the Saturday Slam-N-Jam. You might be flippin’ your flapjacks while you listen, but there will be no flat pancake takes on this show. After a long week at the factory or in the mines, unwind in the ambience of Andrew’s reasoned opinions. Treat yourself to the tranquil sound of Mr BabyCakes’ trivia voice. Let your worries melt away like butter on hotcakes while Andrew and Al breakdown the toughest NBA topics with aplomb. Whether you are a casual fan or an NBA sicko, this pod is sure to leave you satisfied and smiling.

Your favorite podcaster’s favorite podcast.
Shouts to friends DuFour, Black Tray, and Harper that brought me into the world of The Athletic. Every show on this feed is unique, which makes it the best especially if you always listen to basketball pods and want more in depth discussion and analysis. Buds is easily the most fun ensemble, Tampering is for the pros, Hoops Adjacent is basketball humanities class, Nerder makes you sound smart, and Slam and Jam is the most fun. I had a review so I reviewed it.

Best NBA Podcast!
The Saturday Slam and Jam is my favorite NBA podcast. Andrew and Alex keep me entertained during my Saturday work commute. I'm always impressed that Andrew can keep up with the various beat writers and superfans during "Andrew vs. the Beat." And Alex should get a side gig as the Movie Preview Voiceover Guy. No one can make these silly NBA trivia questions more riveting and suspenseful. Keep up the great work!

I’m a genuine fan of the slam and jam. It’s a fun blend of local and national nba and the Trivia is one of the few things worth listen to at normal speed. But to prove you really read all the 5-star reviews, please wish a happy Valentine’s Day to Katharine. Thanks for being my partner.

…Jared, Mo and Producer Curly, to borrow a page from your boss, Tucker Carlson, what are the chances that the next time you do a Feb. 3 and bury a Dillon Brooks felony that one or several someones put the three of you on the receiving end of something that would make what Brooks got from Donovan Mitchell feel like a kiss?

Missed Opportunity
The latest Hood Adjacent pod had a French guy on with hosts Marcus and DA, and I’m absolutely crestfallen that they didn’t title the episode “Lè Marcus Aldridge.” Great pod though. Also shout out to the Saturday Slam and Jam. I love the trivia section, and I’m frankly a little disturbed by Andrew’s inhuman knowledge of obscure NBA facts.

Great Feed
I woke up this morning, put my feet in my slippers like they do in the movies, walked over to my kuerig and put in a pod of Texas Pecan. I walked out onto my porch, took a seat, looked out at the horizon and let out an exhale. All is right with the world. andrew on the lowe post, alex on my mind and visions of boban as a rookie dancing in my head. The SS&J is a must listen to whenever i’m on the loo, on the job or on the trail, whatever that means. Alex’s voice could put me to sleep (in the good way), andrew’s “oh no” when asked a question he has no idea has me chuckling (in the best way) and the rest of the athletic nba feed has me taken care of the rest of the week, in the put your feet up on the coffee table sorta way. Keep up the good work, drink water, eat your veggies and continue to take on life like Jeremey Sochan, one hair color at a time.

Slam Jam Thank You Ma’am
When I first started listening to the slam and jam, Andrew had never won a Vs the beat. Now I’m watching him dominate my favorite NBA personalities. (RIP TK) Thanks for making my Saturdays a little bit better every week. Excited to listen about the Denver Nuggets next week, or as my wife would say, “the sexy little nuggeys”. Keep it up!

Great Trivia
I don’t think I’ve ever left a podcast review before but was inspired to write this one after hearing the most recent “Andrew vs the Beat” with the Pelicans beat writer. It was riveting. I laughed out loud several times. And the “worst trivia question ever” written on the show was actually fantastic. Keep up the good work, guys!

Please have Josh Robbins on every show going forward
Sorry all the other staff writers at the Athletic but I would like Josh Robbins to be on every podcast going forward. Not just the Slam and Jam. Not even just basketball podcasts. Not even just The Athletic podcast network podcasts. Every single podcast on earth would be improved with Josh Robbins on them. That would be a perfect world.

Saturday Slam And Jam: WIZARDS WEEK IS HERE
It’s the podcast we’ve all been waiting for: Wizards week is BACK!! I’m so glad to share in the Wizards madness with the rest of you. Just when you think they’re tanking for lottery odds - BOOM - they win 4 of their last 5 games (praise be to the wheel of fandom). The post-ten-game-losing-streak rumors about the team’s interest in Jae Crowder and John Collins were confounding. Kuzma is sure to leave after the season in search of a bigger contract, but shortsightedness is our strong suit. And nobody loves the Wizards as much the Wizards. If you think we’re not convinced our 15-21 record will turn into 40-42 by the season’s end, then you haven’t been watching the last decade of wizards basketball. Yes, the 10 seed is our goal. Judge us at your own peril. JOHNNY DAVIS TO THE MOON!! Saturday Slam and Jam is the best. Josh Robbins is a gem. And Matt Modderno and his Bleav In Wizards podcast is a must for anyone looking to tap into the pulse of the Wizards fan base.

Saturday Slam & Jam covers all the NBA, even the Gary’s
Gary Payton is probably the best Gary to play in the NBA, right? I feel like TBJ/Starters/NoDunks went through the full exercise one time. This show is much better than that one, of course (although you could stand to gimme some Raptors news). Five Stars!

Caitlin Cooper…
…on Dec. 7 time and again humiliated Marcus Thompson, better known as The Queen’s Personal Puppy. Cooper knows the game. Marcus relied on “vibes” and his tired act of “hatin’” and whining about “respect” and topics like “12 Women For The Brothas” and “Drake’s Top Line Threads For Sittin’ Courtside.” *** Girls, why would any team want Punkbrook? Career Loser. Fumblin’ Fool. Baron of The Brick. Count of The Choke. Or Patty Beverly or Kandy Nunn? Or first-round picks five and seven years from now? By then, The Queen will be retired, The Brittle Brow will be gettin’ oxygen through a pacifier, and Punkbrook will be doin’ serious time. Adam Silver and the TV execs will have ordered the other teams to sell the Lakers talent. Those picks will be worthless.

Stop with the audio effects please
I love the basketball content. Seriously, leaps and bounds better than every other networks basketball podcasts. I think it’s great that every day you get a new show with a different set of hosts, although I could listen to DA/Hoops Adjacent every day. What I dislike is all of the weird audio effects throughout the episodes. Basketball podcasts should not start with 10+ minutes of Manheim Steamroller remixes. I hate the echos and weird effects that you add. I immediately stop paying attention to the basketball talk and start to get annoyed because it’s impossible to listen to, especially with head phones. There is no reason to have piano that was playing during the break to continue playing during the basketball conversation. The music, the echoes, the 8 year old Doc River quotes spliced in the middle of conversations all need to stop. It does nothing to enhance the listening experience, and definitely worsens it. Still gets five stars because the hoops content is top notch. I will give it 6-7 stars if the weird audio would go away. I doubt this will change, so I will just have continue to listen with my finger hovering above the 30 second skip button.

Saturday Slam n Jam review REAL
shoutout to the amazing hosts: Alex — as a game show host you bring the swagger of a young mike o’malley, and the amount of time and effort you put into segments like “which team was a preseason surprise good team that is fake and will actually be bad now” would be considered a huge waste of time by my father, but you have turned that into an actual job. and I am so so proud of you for that d00d. and andrew — what can be said about you that hasn’t already been said about tom hanks? you are the engine that makes this whole thing go. your basketball analysis and trivia knowledge is second to none, and you deliver your information in a perfect podcast voice. gentle yet firm. like my favorite uncle reading me a bedtime story. the magic was inside of you this entire time. thank you for your gifts you have shared with the athletic and all of us. may we always Rise Together -d00dbuffet

Shoutout Saturday Slam & Jam
The only podcast I listen to on the feed is the Saturday Slam & Jam. Shoutout to Andrew and Alex for talking about the league in a way that makes you want to listen in one sitting and makes you sad when the episode is over. I especially love the commentary on every team, especially the small market Spurs, Thunder, Pacers and Pistons of the world. Andrew vs the Beat is the best NBA podcast segment out there, and always fun to see how many answers I know, or what quirky stats I can learn about NBA history. Keep up the good work men and I hope you have a wonderful Holiday season.

The Saturday Slam and Jam podcast with Andrew and Alex is a masterpiece among a solid lineup of pods. Funny, smart, and essential. They work hard to find angles and create coverage that the media and other pods don't have time for or don't care about, which is great.

Keep up the great work!

What’s with all the background noise?
This would be a five star review if not for all the background noise on some of the episodes. Hearing alarms going off or helicopter noises or repeated audio of other people talking played over the hosts’ conversation makes it near impossible to listen to sometimes.

Overproduction is really distracting
Some interesting points and good personalities (when Zach manages to avoid being extra), but my god Jade Hoye needs to get locked up in an insane asylum for the crimes he commits in podcasting production. Any time there’s an interesting bit of discussion this psychopath is dropping the most distracting nonsense at full blast. Sound bites are fun when done in moderation, but this man treats the sound board like an American treats the buffet line

Great but for sound effects
Enjoy 4/5 episodes, every 1/5 they go entirely overboard on the sound effects and it becomes unlistenable. I’m convinced I cannot be alone in hating this feature and duly convinced there cannot be anyone who finds this to be an asset of the show. Please reconsider—it’s an unnecessary cloud on otherwise enjoyable commentary.

The Surprise Team Segment Is BACK: GO ZARDS
The surprise team of the season segment is back and I am PUMPED. Big thank you to the odds makers for DOUBTING the Wizards and giving them an over-under of 35.5 wins and just barely making us eligible for Alex’s consideration. And guess what Alex, you may be right that 46 wins is just too high to honestly predict, but you doubted the Wiz last year and we sure showed you (for the first quarter of the year at least). Keep on doubting. Watch us be the Bulls of last season. A first round playoff exit is TOTALLY in the cards for the Wizards. Love the show, keep ‘em coming!

Saturday Slam and Jam
Every new episode of Slam and Jam that has Keith Parish is the new worst episode of Slam and Jam. He is single-handedly reigniting the Memphis - OKC rivalry. Because of Keith I now hate barbecue, the blues, the Grizzlies, and the city of Memphis EVEN THOUGH I WAS BORN THERE. I hope Ja flames out in the play-in the next 3 years and leaves for LA after a season of telling the city of Memphis it’s his home and he wants to retire there. I hope the Griz don’t re-sign Bane because of back issues and he goes to Denver (who solved back issues because of MPJ) to become the greatest 3 and D player ever. I hope JJJ never tries to get another rebound again. I hope the solution to climate change becomes the abolition of barbecue. I hope the team moves back to Vancouver. 5 stars.

The Saturday Slam and Jam is by far my favorite podcast!

I’ve listened to all of Andrew’s podcasts for the last six years, and I just love how he and Alex so easily transitioned to covering the league at large. The format is so fun, especially trying to keep up with Alex’s weekly rundown and listening to guests agonize over the trivia. Now how do we finally get Hasheem on the pod to get the true Andrew vs. Thabeet? Cheers, fellas, and keep up the good work! -Josh Morison

One of the better national NBA podcast feeds
With so much NBA content out there I’ve become quite picky about which national podcasts I regularly listen to. I did not expect the Saturday Slam and Jam to be a weekly must download, but they won me over with off-the-beaten-path facts and insights about the team of the week, and trivia showdowns are always fun! I’ll download the other shows if they cover topics of interest but Slam and Jam is a regular.

unless you’re the nets or lakers they know nothing
i just had to listen to 7 minutes of these people saying that the nuggets had a bad offseason because they were “overly concerned with money” and “shed salary” when the nuggets are literally $16 million over the tax and have a way higher payroll than last year. it’s clear they don’t watch teams that aren’t in big markets and just spew random words when they have to talk about small market teams.

An epic wake for Bill Russell
The last episode of Hoops Adjacent with David Aldridge, Marcus Thompson, and Howard Bryant blew my mind. I don’t know if the ghost of Bill Russell was talking to you gentleman but you (plural) transcended sports, and you did so in a way that was full spectrum human. I love how Russell’s story was linked to the post WW2 migration to Oakland and the explosion of excellence that resulted from it. Thank you for the discussion of “gratitude” expectations and Russell’s disinterest in apologies (aka it’s white folk’s problem - not mine). Thank you Mr Aldridge for discussing your reasons for why you couldn’t write and thanks Mr Thompson for writing what you did and for acknowledging how generational distance gave you the space to do so. As for Mr Bryant all I can say is that I have a lot of your work to read - your account of Black Boston’s connection to the 60s Celtics was something I had never heard, the discussion that you 3 had about sports writing legacy and generational baton passing nearly brought me to tears. Thanks again.

Listened to a full segment that discussed that Orlando would be the 10 seed in the East. The rationale was their core was better than Houston OKC and Detroit. Was there no one in the room who could tell the moronic host that 2 of those teams are in the Western Conference? Shouldn’t the segment have explained why Orlando was also better than Indiana Wiz Knicks and Hornets all of whom are between Magic and the 10th position. Idiot co-host never mentions it either.

Great Variety of Shows
I love all the shows from Saturday Slam and Jam to Points of Contention and even Nerder…she wrote. All the hosts and guests have great insight and opinions on the league. Saturday Salam and Jam is my favorite because of the guest beat writers. Really gives you more clarity on the state of teams you don’t follow that closely. Ding ding!

Are there no women who cover the NBA for The Athletic or elsewhere? It seems so from the representation. Sends a message to subscribers when more and more men, some even from other outlets, keep being added to the regular rotation.

So much that I’m now listening to every episode of the OKC Down to Dunk pod as well. Never been to Oklahoma City. I probably couldn’t even find it on a map, but Andrew and Alex are so captivating that I’m literally counting the days until the lottery. Great show! Andrew in Portland.

Gave it a fair shake
As others have mentioned there are a ton of ads to sift through, but I get that part might be out of the hosts’ hands though so I’ll give them a pass for it. What I can’t wrap my head around is why they constantly “overproduce” the show. They can’t make it through a few sentences of banter without overlaying other audio random clips or sound effects. Love the athletic so I’ve given this pod a chance several times over the last year or so but I can’t overstate how grating the constant sound effects are. Makes the show unlistenable, which is a shame because it’s a very simple thing to fix and the hosts actually have good chemistry.

Saturday slam & jam is straight bussin’. But why do all the other reviews Alex reads sound so generic, like book cover endorsements?

My go-to for NBA coverage
There’s something for everyone in the lineup—sometimes I want to hear a more focused, analytical discussion (eg Nerder), while most of the time I’m looking for a casual discussion generally revolving around basketball (eg Basketball Buds, Point of Contention). Also, Zach and Jay are pretty hilarious together.

Content great, audio BAD
Saturday slam and jam is spectacular. And it’s rough that you have to rate the podcast with all their shows lumped in together. I wish I could rate them separately. The extra audio they add to their other shows is SO bad it’s insane. You either can’t hear the people talking clearly, or have to sit to a minute plus of completely irrelevant garbage. It’s very frustrating. It is bad enough that I will only listen to the Saturday show now.

The Saturday Slam and Jam podcast, fearlessly and jauntily led by the Double-A-Dynamic-Duo from OKC, is always an enjoyable ride for the true NBA fan. They clearly have fun, do their research, and make every episode worth looking forward to. The trivia contest with different beat reporters from the gamut of NBA cities make the conclusion of each episode engaging. Keep up the great work, fellas!

Pacers Week on SSJ!
Since the Wheel of Fandom debuted, I’ve been waiting for Pacers week to review Andrew and Alex’s fantastic work on the Saturday Slam and Jam. I love how they’ve persistently highlighted every team in way few NBA sources do. The weekly trivia is intriguing and Andrew’s journey from doormat and to dominant has been epic. The September segment on Joe Fulks was so interesting that I bothered 2 friends until they listened to it and texted me their thoughts. Hands down my favorite pod on The Athletic’s great network!

Half great, half not so great
Tampering, Saturday Slam n Jam, and Hoops Adjacent are all 5/5 great shows. They do their research, have creative segments, don’t talk over each other, aren’t quite as much of a “boys club” feel, and overall have really interesting opinions and takes. These 3 and No Dunks are all consistently solid listens. Giving a 5-star to support those shows^ Nerder, Basketball Buds, and Point of Contention are 2ish stars for me and all one in the same. Sometimes just feels like it’s just a bunch of talking heads interrupting each other, beating a dead horse about the common national narratives with really nothing interesting to back their opinions. They also try too hard to give each other a hard time but it comes across as cringe; it low-key always sounds like there’s a bit of tension between them. Also the bizarre noise affects placed at horrible times in the pod is unneeded.

Really nice basketball content
I was very resistant at first when all of the basketball shows rolled into one pod. I only listened to DA and Wos at the time. But the entire cast is good and enjoyable and if I find an episode I don’t like, I just turn the dial to the right. I wanted to leave a 4 star review because really nothing in life is perfect, but this is very, very good so it gets 5 stars. It’s my go-to pod. Also, DA threatened violence for lame reviews, and who wants any of that?

This is a great podcast for me to listen to while I am doing schoolwork and other things. I love how they get into deep conversations about sports and have debates on how a player did every so often on an episode. It is really interesting and informative if you missed your favorite teams game last night they have you covered with comments and debates on highlights the performance of your favorite star player of your team. Overall great listen. I tune in almost everyday and have a good time while listening to their podcast

Funny and informative
I’ve only listened to one of the shows on this podcast, featuring David Aldridge & Marcus Thompson, but I guarantee to be back for the next one (especially if it’s hosted by these two.) I was lol at times, but the content was also interesting. Additionally, the chemistry of the hosts was second to none. I’ve never bothered to review a podcast before but once. The latest one here (with Chris Herring, about the 90s Knicks, John Gruden, and Kyrie) was probably the best podcast episode I’ve ever heard. Keep it up!

Generally good discussion and information
I just recently started listening and just finished the episode with Steph Curry. Unfortunately they asked about the new rule changes without actually knowing the rule changes so they made some incorrect statements. For example, it is still a foul when the defender runs into the player from behind….unless…the offensive player makes an unnatural or non-basketball move such as jumping sideways into the player then it is an offensive foul. It also depends on the degree of the contact as to whether it is a no-call or a foul. Steph was asking for consistency but that will never really happen as these calls are judgement calls which is always going to lead to disagreement, arguments, technical fouls, etc. One of the NBA examples uses a play from Steph and honestly I think that play would be called differently by different officials. I really only mention this because people will walk away with incorrect information about the rule updates.

Slam and Jam
Slam and Jam with Andrew and Alex is great. Hard to believe these guys had never met before recording the first episode a few months ago. Even more impressive that they’ve been able to hide their animosity towards each other, although you can feel it bubbling up from just under the surface. This hatred started on a Down to Dunk Thursday pod (my favorite DTD day). It’s commendable that they’ve held it together in order to bring fans of the show their light-hearted yet well thought out and insightful commentary. Must be the great guests that act as glue to keep the whole thing from crumbling. Good work fellas! Jesse Smith

From Grating to Great
Whether or not I listen to an episode of this or any other Athletic pod depends largely on who is on it. Several of these guys have extremely annoying, disproportionately loud voices, particularly Andrew Schlecht, Sam Vecenie, and regular guest Keith Parish. While I can tolerate Mo Dakil’s, uh, quirky voice, his various mannerisms make him almost unlistenable. He is seemingly unable to end a sentence without tacking on some contextually nonsensical or superfluous phrase like “and whatnot” or “and things like that.” And as others have noted, he is one of the worst offenders (of which there are many throughout Podlandia) when it comes to usage of the asinine phrase “yeah, no” and its even more ridiculous variants: “yeah, no, for sure,” etc. None of the above analysts have opinions so valuable that I’ll put up with them, unless they’re on Nerder or Buds, where there are usually enough less irritating people to compensate. One of those is Dave DuFour. Yet he, too, gets on my nerves when he arrogantly suggests that anyone planning to give an Athletic pod a rating of less than five stars should “not bother,” as if they’re above being critiqued. Sorry, Dave: they’re not.

A bit of a mess
A whole lot of voices making poor takes without much meaningful basketball analysis. The content is not there. There’s no distinct and likable personalities on the show (they all blend in in a meh way), so it’s hard for the listeners to develop any bond with anyone. It’s great to hear personal stories of you care about the people behind the voices (eg No Dunks). But there’s nothing worse than having to hear personal stories of strangers you don’t care about

Love all of basketball podcasts on The Athletic except for Point of Contention. Hosts are great, but way too much production.

Overproduced but great analysis
I love this show. All 6 daily shows are great, have unique analysis and fun dynamics between the hosts. I don’t even mind the ads. But it needs to be said: The show is overproduced. The number, length, and choice of producer interjections just don’t fit. The production sometimes makes the hosts’ voices hard to hear (turning down the volume, layering weird sounds over a host talking)…it’s just not necessary. There are niche movie quotes that take up 30 seconds or more. Off-tone musical interludes. I get the intent, but please, just let the hosts talk, keep production to a minimum. Love you guys!

Pretty decent analysis but the production is super distracting. Random musical sections and sound effects and it just feels like they are going for “hacky 90’s drive time radio” which is just really not the Athletics brand at all. Also would it kill you to throw to a commercial rather than just insert them mid sentence? You’ve done the hard part about getting talented on mic talent but outside of this specific playoff series I’m not gonna subscribe because it’s just too distracting to vibe with.

Mixed bag
This is the definition of hit or miss. 50% of the time it’s overproduced garbage with half of the hosts talking over each other. The other 50% of the time it’s a really good basketball podcast. Feels like there’s no rhyme or reason to where the ads are placed. Feels like I’ve listened to multiple episodes where they just cut to an ad in the middle of someone’s thought. Also cannot stand how long it takes to get to the actual meat and potatoes of the episode. There are like 2-3 minutes of ads promoting the other podcasts The Athletic has at the beginning of every show. Most of the time I skip past these but have no clue when the actual episode I want to listen to begins.

It is crazy that at the start of every game, Rachel Nichols flashes the white power symbol with her left hand, for a long time during her monologue. You can go back and check. She did it from the preseason on. She obviously does not Want to be around “those” people. It devastated my children and I when we saw it. It is awful to do to the young, full of hopes and dreams. It is clear she wants to do something else. Let her do that something else away from our sons and daughters.

The hosts are great, but there’s waaaay too much on top of them, and it takes away from the podcast and just gets on my nerves. Just let the content stand on its own.

Good for background noise
This is one of those pods that you throw on while you’re waiting for your subs to update. Nothing creative or insightful. They sound like guys who think they are creative or insightful. Maybe in their own circle, but outside of that it’s very boring. Try harder

Not clear why Basket Buds or Point of Contention exist; the Ringer does better versions of this genre. Nerder, Hoops Adjacent, Tampering, Saturday Slam and Jam all can be high quality with useful insights, data, etc.

Alex, be nice to Andrew
I enjoy The NBA Saturday Slam and Jam every week and especially like Andrew vs. The Beat. Alex, is it really necessary to show so much delight when Andrew gets an answer wrong? He’s such a nice young man and you weren’t raised like that. Mom❤️

Quality dependent
Quality of show really depends on who’s on it. Shows with Zach Harper and his crew are the terrible. Its basically the worst of NBA Twitter amplified. I subscribe to the Athletic and love their reporting, it’s too bad this podcast so often appeals to the lowest denominator of random egg Twitter.

Just ok, and could easily be much better
I appreciate the content, but I usually end up turning this off 15 minutes in because the guys talk over each other and over-laugh like a couple of buddies at a bar. Love that it’s conversational but a little more structure and planning on the front end could make it great.

Love these
The Saturday pod is so perfectly in my wheelhouse! There’s plenty of smart, unique analysis, but there are also a lot of genuinely funny/interesting recurring bits (wheel of fandom is prlly the best bit in any bball pod) and banter. Basketball pod episodes often have a pretty short shelf life imo where if I miss it the day or two after it’s posted, I just won’t listen because so much will have changed since then. The Saturday pod is the rare one where I’ll listen pretty much whenever I can get to it because there’s always something slightly more evergreen in its episodes.

I did not want or need another NBA podcast (I listen to far too many), but Andrew and Alex’s reputation precedes them and I immediately jumped aboard. It is now my favorite of all NBA shows, I seek it out and listen to it within hours of being posted. They have great chemistry, give unique and interesting basketball perspective, and manage to keep the show fun and well paced. Keep up the great work!!

So glad to see Andrew get his first win on trivia. It’s fun to see him demolish the competition on “down to dunk”’s excellent trivia episodes and then really get out through the ringer against beat writers on trivia about their teams. Always fun to see the massive difference in nba depth between slam and jam vs the fripod on dtd as well haha

I’ve listened to Andrew and Alex on Down to Dunk for a while now and always enjoy their coverage of the Thunder but these guys have taken NBA podcasting to the next level with the Saturday Slam and Jam. Dare I say it’s one of the best things to happen to the NBA since NBA JAM. Birthday celebrations, trivia, and all the NBA news of the week in one podcast. It’s a must for any NBA fan.

Ignorant, Lazy, LA-Focused Bromancers
I expect much more from any media flying “The Athletic” banner. Listening to Zach Harper, Jay King and Wos Lambre discuss Jrue Holiday’s extension with the Milwaukee Bucks was brutal. None of the hosts had the contract details nor did they discuss Jrue’s potential value on the open market this offseason. Instead, they ignorantly and lazily trashed another small market team, devalued a star and spent much of the segment debating whether or not Jrue could be claimed as an LA native. The only reasonable, researched voice was Tray Edwards. Plenty of sports media features coastal-flavored and big market favored hot takes; I thought The Athletic, with quality team-embedded reporters and in-depth analysis was above, and better than that this...

Entertaining but not informative
I think that this pod is entertaining however it’s more just talk than reporting. If you listen to Zach Lowe or the ringers basketball pod they have informed takes rather than regurgitating the what espn or social media’s is saying. For example the bucks on their time in the bubble. I don’t think it can be understated the struggles outside of basketball that the team had to navigate. Yes they underperformed, but who could blame them when the season was stopped and thrown into complete chaos in the middle of a pandemic and the largest social unrest since the 60s. Yes every team struggled, but it would be naive to think that the bubble created an even playing field. Clearly the bubble affected every team different and I think it’s poor journalism to just throw them under the bus when they were an integral part in the social movements we are seeing today

Zach Harper is unlistenable
You know those guys you went to high school or college with that loved to dominate the conversation with these long winded jokes or stories whose punchlines were never worth waiting through the rambling. Zach Harper. He just comes off as really proud of himself and is unlistenable. Lot of other talents at the Athletic, but just cringe when he comes on.

Lazy reporting
Wow...I had to turn it off during the Nuggets commentary. Point one, Murray has been hurt for a while. You immediately went into inconsistencies without weighing the injuries. They inhaled 7 new players and critiquing management’s inability to hold onto players is fair. Joker is playing at an MVP level and pulled them out of a 1 and 3 start. Since that time they have one of the best records. You also didn’t mention the way they have played during the last week to pull into 4th place. I agree Utah has passed the Nuggets. But the answers that you provide are excuses instead of the real issue....management deserves an F for their off season. And I’m a Laker fan.

Horrible reporting
These writers, “journalists”, whatever you want to call them, don’t actually do their job well, they just feed into whatever the media wants and they run with it. They hate on certain teams and player and find any way to slam them, just to look good to the majority, while at the same time, praising certain players that are most popular. Like a high schooler that just wants any attention they can get. Subscribing to the Athletic isn’t even worth the $1 they are so desperately begging for

The shows vary from top shelf to really weak dependent on who is on the panel on a given day. Generally, if Wos is on, it’s going to be in the lower tier and if Dave Dufour is on, it’ll have sharper takes.

The cast of characters on this show are beyond amazing. Truly a hilarious and smart crew. Turned into POC because I thought it would be a show about people or color, but was pleased to hear Turkish look alike Ethan Strauss and Marcus Thompson’s hilarious rapport combined with Zach “Moose” Harper’s commentating. Dave DuFour is amazing and something about him is very comforting. And Wos is the best. Jade Hoye does it again! Take that ESPN

Awful
Some of the most self-indulgent rubes in sports whose primary objective is to force their terrible politics down your throat. They loudly virtue-signal their profound wokeness whilst backhandedly degrading women. Hanerstroh is insightful - glad he got his own pod and can disassociate from these dorks. Harper is the lowest form of beta - the type who, IF he could ever find a woman, would derive pleasure from Wos (or Wuss or Big Coward or whatever his name is) plowing her while he tugs in a corner, forced to hold eye contact the until black supremacist Wos (Wuss?) is spent. A cuckold, if you will. Big Wuss is a race baiter of the worst sort, seeking to make everything about race. Look for him to be the next Jussie Smollet. You heard it here first. Other guys are whatever. I just think it’s funny they got their pod taken from them by ESPN who staffed it with more insightful, professional, and responsible journalists (these guys aren’t anything close to journalists - just pretend-woke sheep) and all Zach does is throw shade at windhorst on Twitter. Don’t support this brand of hogwash. Republicans buy sneakers too. (And watch NBA). Eat a whole one, clowns.

Community
The B2B pods and CTD network bring something to the table for everyone. Nowhere else offers insight into black culture one day, life lessons through basketball the next, followed by stat heavy nerdom and a family round table of perfect nonsense to end the week. As with every community, some people in it may not for you. Others may say and do things you disagree but in the end it’s like family; except you can skip Easter with no repercussions if your Red Hat uncle is gonna be there. And one more thing... I’m here.

They have a whole range of characters, from expert NBA writers to social media darlings. Each show is super entertaining, they provide great content even during the NBA offseason. If you're new the Friday mailbag may take awhile to get used to because there is a lot of inside jokes, but is super funny. Each podcast feels more like a conversation with friends at a nice bar than a lecture or some expert talking down to you. Also just the quality of the producing is very good, S/O Jade the Evil Producer

I like the Nerder She Wrote guys. I love Zach Harper when he has his own show. I don’t like the rest of the basketball friends. Since they’re always invading Zach’s show now, that makes less than 1 episode a week that I will definitely listen to. For the first time since I heard him on CBS, I’ll be unsubscribing from a Zach Harper pod.

Common guys stop this Kwahi bashing.. I understand the frustration but you guys being from media n coaching fraternity I do not appreciate the one sided view of the whole situation.. Spurs being a organization they are but when was the last time senior players talk about other players health the way Manu n tp did, specially when they not fully aware of Rehab status n Don’t u think pops interviews added fuel to fire with all those statements n taking jabs at Kwahi..Spurs, Spurs pr, pop n players are all equally responsible for this n of course uncle Dennis...how difficult was it for them to tell even though they were frustrated or with minimum information on status “our players health is most important to us, we hv grated him a second opinion, given him options to rehab privately n are working with him..if he were to sit out the whole year that’s fine with us too” Anyways u guys r just fixated to your opinions but I wish he find health n happiness no matter where he want to play next..

Used to be Good
Nobody loves these guys more than themselves. This pod has devolved into 5 semi-funny people fawning over their inside jokes and call-ins from a bunch of twitter eggs. Boring and redundant now.

The best
I love the shows - each separate day of the week. I listen to these more than all other podcasts combined. Great way for a suburban white dude to get some “urban” culture!!! Jade, I wish you would talk less and turn your mic down. You’re an awesome producer and editor, but I’m not heerre for your spoken content and tone deaf interrupting. I always enjoyed your mom (um... that came out wrong.. so did that), but those segments are increasingly pretty boring... she sounds so disinterested

Best podcast ever. Patreon sub’er.
From TrueHoop TV to now. I've been listening to them since all the back. Since they were with ESPN, and the crew (excluding Wos, Jade, and Amin) weren’t even a thought in the heads of listeners. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Vastly underrated.

Hard to find, pretty good but kinda stalling out
These guys have good chemistry and hoops knowledge. Gotta fast forward when they try to riff on other things/their own uninteresting lives (Mama Hoye is not Papi, and the rest of y'all are not funny). Also, bossa novas are a bizarre concept for podcasting. Let's mute the stories and content that the audience would really like to hear but we can't share! but will continue to do so because...screw the audience(??). It's worse than dead air. Black Trey, Mariano, Wos, Ethan and Habestro are the best parts of the show. Thorpe is knowledgeable but his voice sounds like he smokes 800 cigarettes a day. Despite all that I'd still recommend the pod for the good parts, but this Amin thing (and all the hosts laughing it up about it) has changed that.

Dear God where do I begin.
Amin the Hypocrite back at it again. The man who has discussed on-air that society will look back in shock at how we once tolerated a culture of toxic masculinity permeating professional locker rooms, now hides behind his black mirror while he fires off gay slurs and misogynistic comments. The association with Amin is enough to never think about this podcast again. But if I must, there is far more wrong here. Count the Dings? Do any of you have a creative bone in your body? Go ahead and rip the rest of the skits from the Lebatard Show. Or just hire Mike Ryan because clearly none of you have had an orginal idea in your life. Beyond the content of the show, it sounds like it was recorded on a potato. I guess a legitimate budget is hard to come by when you're bouncing around networks every 6 months. And who is the guy that has trouble articulating a coherent thought? Trae? Rename the pod to Count the Likes because I swear this guy can't say three words without throwing in a 'like' or 'ummmmmm.'

Angie's continued ownership of Zach in all things soup and soda related is made possible by the support given on Patreon. And Jade and the rest of the gang aren't too shabby either.

remove coward Amin and apologize
Remove misogynist Amin immediately from the show and apologize. Amin is a pathetic coward and a fraud. You made a mistake now deal with it.

Trash
Supporting horrible comments such as calling a woman a c*** and making fun of people for how they were born is cringy and horrible. Can’t believe they let Amin talk like this and just laugh. Disgusting.
