  • Nothing like the NBA while I’m flipping my flapjacks!

    Love the Athletic NBA Daily podcast and my favorite show is the Saturday Slam and Jam hosted by Alex and Andrew!

    I enjoy the different games and gimmicks they have, which do a great job of being both educational and entertaining.

    The pod is also a great way to follow the league by deep diving on a new team every week #FearTheWheel.

    Keep up the great work!

  • Stop saying “… A [Player Name]” instead of just “[Player Name]”!

    Great show, but two of the hosts have a terrible verbal tic of saying “if you have a Luca or a LeBron…” What is the reason for adding the word A? There’s only one Luca and only one LeBron, stop saying A!

  • Hugs from Puerto Rico

    Greetings from Puerto Rico. I’m a fellow colleague who works as a history and draft expert for another major network that I won’t mention—but let’s just say I work with Deportes. I also host a Spanish-language NBA podcast, which I won’t name either because that would feel a bit sleazy.

    I just want you to know that Slam and Jam is one of the very few NBA podcasts I recommend on my show. The blend of solid information, thoughtful opinions, and light-hearted comedy is something to aspire to. Also—a... more
