Great, sharp lens on the NBA. Fascinating subjects.

“Hooray for a smart in-depth take on the NBA. I dig that Breakaway focuses on likable and totally under-sung figures in the league - from role players to assistant coaches to veterans. I haven't heard stories like this elsewhere. I came away with new appreciation for Robin Lopez's nightly work (yes really)... and for the 'everybody-chuck-a-three' brand of offense that's so in vogue (and which I used to hate), etc.
Props for using sound in creative ways, especially in episodes one and two, to help illustrate basketball concepts in audio form. More of that, please!
Highly recommended to pickup game players and fantasy fans and vicarious dunkers and really anyone who loves the game.
Because I enjoy this show and want it to be even better, two small bits of advice for Rob and the crew...
a) based on your stellar writing and the stories you choose, it's clear that you love this game and care really deeply about it. I'd love to hear more of that passion come through in the way you read. Give it a bit more bounce - and some James Harden changes of pace - and I think it'll go a long way.
b) As long as you have access to some of the coolest folks in basketball - pretty please ask them an oddball question or two or have them tell a story we might not otherwise hear. I bet they'd have some out-of-left-field responses (yeah wrong sport), and humor and it'd be a nice ballast for the show's earnestness and tendency toward analysis (versus narrative). Don't get me wrong I love that too but Rob's twitter feed tonally is smart and kinda irreverent. Seems like a miss not to let that sensibility inflect the show a bit more.
Okay that's it. Thanks a ton for making this show. Great job and please keep it up.”Read full review »

“Different twist on an interview, Rob injects his own thoughts as a Narrator which gives great context to the guests words.”
