You’re on our old Baseline channel! This is where Jonathan Rears & Meir Cohen started sharing conversations from the world of international basketball, talking with players and voices from across the game, from NBA players to Israeli league stars.

We’ve since moved things over to a new channel, and we’d love to have you there. You can find all our new episodes [here]
