Hardwood Knocks brings the right mixture of numbers, eye test, and personality, striking the rare balance between entertaining and informative. The season preview pods (one per team) are especially deep and excellent listening!

Dan and Grant are some of my favorites. Their knowledge is wide ranging and true sicko stuff. They’re funny and unbiased in their equal coverage of all 30 teams, which is refreshing as a fan of a currently bad small market team that is often overlooked and dismissed by other national shows.

I listen to every episode. Your Rockets guy comes off as extremely arrogant though.

I’m really enjoying the team previews. Dan really shows great respect to his guests and allows them to show what they know, unlike some other pod-hogs out there. He’s very dedicated and puts the work in.

Love the chemistry between Dan and grant and enjoy them being so smart about how they think about the game and league while not being so smug about it like a lot of other shows I’ve heard. Big fan, love this show

My favorite part is how careful and level-headed their takes are. They are not afraid to admit when they were wrong, and do a good job at covering all teams around the league. Definitely recommend a listen. My favorite ones are the pre-season predictions and the “We Were Wrong, and We’re Sorry”

Probably the most consistent podcast I listen to, and one of the most fun and informative basketball podcasts out there

Dan is a great host and wildly knowledgeable about the modern NBA. Grant brings a nuanced perspective and quick wit. Despite struggling with the alphabet from time to time, these boys bring smart, reasoned takes each and every episode.

A great combination of eye test and analytics in the context of the modern NBA. Dan and Grant deserve kudos for this quality podcast.

Very informative, very smart.
LA Pistons fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/23
Not the greatest show ever, basically two bloggers talking which is pretty common and useless in nba podcasts. The warriors fan (grant) is an absolute homer and is kind of insufferable, but he’s only on half the episodes thankfully. The other guy is pretty solid, sometimes says plainly stupid...Read full review »

If you have a favorite team but also are a huge NBA fan as a whole, then this is the pod for you
Buchecha24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/23
Grant Hughes has glaring biases, and is probably the biggest joke “journalists” among sports podcasts. Not worth your time.
NikolasKite via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/23
They assume rumors are true and assume they are fact in their discussions. For example talking about how atlanta should trade Trae Young and talking about trade options when atlanta has zero intention on trading him. Do better BR. Do some actual journalism and stop relying on clickbait headlines...Read full review »

One of my favorite basketball and overall podcasts.
Podcast_Addicted via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/23
These guys know nothing about hoops and they ignore their own analytics.
lazknickfan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/23
Best intro music in the pod game, very pleasant. These guys are hard workers and informed. They do their homework and don’t use fluff while talking out of their ARS. (Crossover, KOC, Wos, Sedano, and too many more to list). Keep up the good work and the genuine grind, it’s refreshing and...Read full review »

Covering the whole league in the most thorough and entertaining manner.
JTAlexander13 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/17/22
Dan does an awesome job! Super informative and fun!
MattModderno via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/22
To keep it simple- I really enjoy this podcast. My only request would be that the host slows down a little bit. I tend to do the same when talking about sports because I’m excited but sometimes it’s hard to follow along when they start throwing around contract numbers or analytics.
KT16V via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/22
Got back into the NBA several years ago after a decades long break and wanted to be better informed via deeper analysis and this was the one that seemed most promising. It consistently delivers entertaining analysis with a variety of guests on a ton of topics. I particularly enjoy recent female...Read full review »

Give this a listen to
Pieface1990 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/24/22
Love the detail the guys bring to every podcast. Super excited for them to bring more WNBA content in as well. That league is already incredible, just needs more exposure and people talking/watching it.
sirbashy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/22
Dan and Adam do such a great job of covering the entire league. They know their stuff and but a tremendous amount of effort into covering the league.
Holabakatcha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/22
Spend 30 minutes talking about COVID. This is not why I listen to sports podcast. Stick to basketball
Luan24678 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/22
These guys know the nba and don’t play games with your time. It talks about the entire league in a fair and objective way. If you love basketball, you’ll dig the pod
awo345 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/22
Great variety of news, analysis, guests, hypotheticals, rankings, and other content. Very informed hosts that go deep on all 30 teams year-round! Thanks for the exceptional work! Really appreciate how much you put into it so we can enjoy it! One note: can we get the intro length down a bit?...Read full review »

The pelicans takes make me sad (but generally so do the pelicans themselves), anyway, this is still my favorite NBA podcast. Unbiased and it feels like a genuine attempt to just discuss the league at large. Love it

Why not

Unique programming relative to other podcasts

A good listen.
mslows via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/21
Full of information and incite into every team in the NBA. a great podcast for NBA junkies.
Fry hdhdh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/29/21
High-level, intelligent NBA analysis that combines analytics and watching/scouting. Strikes the right tone of comfortable/relaxed/good sense of humor, without being goofy or gimmicky.

Just finished the Spurs lookahead. Have been listening to this Pod for a while, will definitely continue doing so.
cfoxed54 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/06/21
There is no NBA podcast that dives as deep on EVERY NBA team as Hardwood Knocks — their lookahead series has been invaluable in getting ready for the NBA season and it’s so nice to hear from informed, entertaining voices basically every day.
Ti Windisch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/21
One of the best basketball podcasts
LeighTheKnicksFan via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/01/21
Not many pods break down each team and get guests who know their stuff. Bucks In 6.
Haqksanwrsv via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/21
I love the detail these guys get into, but I also love the chemistry. Good show that delivers basketball news and analysis without big market bias.
Connor.Downs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/21
Consistently talking in-depth for a terrific learning experience. Great coverage of the whole league, transactions and players.
Billybobjnr78775 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/18/21
Keep it up!
RiccardoBo via Apple Podcasts · Italy · 09/15/21
Consume a lot of sport podcasts and was pleasantly surprised how informed and detailed the discussions and analysis were across the board. Good deep understanding of rosters and youth players too. Hope they keep up more of these ‘potential break out’ type pods where they rate and compare views...Read full review »

I enjoy listening to it
aboogiejfkfjf via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/27/21
I enjoy the chatter between the hosts, I just feel like they play it too safe with their sports takes. Not all of them, but I think sometimes they tend to go with the majority rules. Other than that, great energy, great content, and very well informed.
