Hollinger & Duncan NBA Show - NBA Basketball Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have been listening to it for over 3 years, never miss an episode, high quality analysis delivered with great sense of humor

What else can you say? Duncan is constantly putting out top-tier content for NBA fans that actually considers strategy, rosters, and future context like very few others (Thinking Basketball, Game Theory, some Athletic NBA shows). There’s some narrative discussion, but it’s all in the context of the actual game.

Hollinger is a great partner for him, but it’s more of the same as far as tone and content - it can be dry and to the point, so if that’s not your taste listen elsewhere. For me, Duncan keeps the pace moving and adds some dry comedy to make it interesting, but it can feel like a cold shower versus shows with laugh tracks and soundboard drops.

Great information and good to get perspectives from an “outsider” and “insider”. I appreciate the acerbic wit. The ad reads are obtrusive and annoying but hardly a dealbreaker. Nate sometimes talks over Hollinger but I think that tendency is fading. Definitely recommend

Two of the best in the business for analysis and coverage and some inside knowledge on the runnings of an NBA org. Would recommend to anyone interested in stats and bball.

Based on their recent coach rankings, it is very apparent that Nate and John just spout off their personnel opinions without much thought or methodology to back up these opinions. A ranking podcast would be more effective if they ranked each participant in a series of weighted categories that result in a ranked value.

This approach would result in rankings that could be defended with data instead of vague criteria that is applied inconsistently. If I want someone to spout off their opinions without much research or based on facts, I’ll listen to Charles Barkley. I have a higher expectation for Nate and John. Unfortunately, they don’t deliver.

My god…. He over laughs at every one of Nate’s jokes and makes things painfully awkward. He also hardly gives concrete answers and usually says things without thinking it seems? Anytime Nate disagrees and has a counterpoint, John almost immediately gives up his initial take and sides with Nate. It’s like a tenured professor doing a podcast with an undergraduate. Unbearable honestly.
