Listen now

WHAT: iHeartPodcasts and the National Basketball Association (NBA) today debuted “,” a new co-produced weekly show from the ����������Ƶ and NBA podcast slate that covers basketball in a fun and humorous way. Listeners won’t find any hot-takes, or breakdowns on how to defend the pick-and-roll, but instead hosts Jack O'Brien and Miles Gray will bring their wit and unique insights to a show that celebrates all things NBA. Alongside a special guest each week, Jack and Miles will use current events as well as the NBA archive to enlighten and entertain their audience.

In the first episode, the guys will sit down with actor, podcaster and comedian about growing up in the 90s as a massive Bulls fan, his favorite Michael Jordan moment and which player actually changed the game more than Jordan. They will do a deep dive on Ja Morant defying the laws of physics on the court, which random Grizzlies player needs to be mic’d up every game and why Lance Stephenson blowing in LeBron James’ ear during a playoff game might be the craziest thing that ever happened in the NBA.
