Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.

I'm looking for a good NBA podcast or show to watch/listen.

Sidenote: most of the podcasts I have listened to were very shallow, filled with hot takes to provoke or only focused on the star players. I'm actually looking for a show that does a deeper analysis, like young players to watch (rookie or prospects from college/europe), coaches and their decisions or tactics, etc..

Thank you for the suggestions.

JJ Reddick’s podcast definitely sounds like it has what you are looking for. He definitely dives deep into the basketball aspect of it and keeps up with what is going on in the nba. I’m personally not the biggest fan of his analysis because he legit seems to care more about stats and advanced metrics than legit any other analyst I have ever seen. Especially during the season he will mention RAPTOR 10x a podcast.

But still he is pretty much the only player ran podcast that really dives deep into the the more complex elements. Actually Draymond also does it on his podcast as well but it’s lowkey a hard listen sometimes. I always thought Draymond should get a co host because he is way better at answering questions than he is at just trying to generally cover a topic.

I also really enjoy reading the Ringer. They put out pretty high quality stuff and the more you read the more you will figure out which writers you like and which you don’t. I highly recommend checking out Kevin O’Connor’s draft guides that he has been doing the past few years:

Also you can replace the year in that link and go look back at previous draft guides, I find them all really interesting even years out. I was just reading the 2018 thought it was cool seeing how certain players turned out
