Customer Reviews
Best fantasy basketball podcast out there
Great info and fantastic personalities make this one of the best podcasts to listen to for weekly and seasonal advice, opinions and general information. The team has great chemistry and has fun
Fantasy-less Fantasy BBall Pod
Fantasys mentioned about every other episode. Hosts are definitely not playing much fantasy bball Saying you didnt know who was available in your draft probably isnt a good look. al horford isn’t a “good value” in Rd.8 in 2023. 11/7/2/1/1 is a must roster fantasy line for a 12 team league. Not according to Steve Alexander. Maybe he plays points leagues(the kids table of fantasy).
Since it’s only a weekly pod, most of the season long advice like waiver pickup suggestions are too late to matter. Put it in a different category or call it a general nba pod.
Sound Quality
These guys need a decent microphone. Sound quality is terrible. Sounds like an amateur production.
