    Hitting their stride
    This has become on of my favorite podcasts . DA and Wos have really hit their stride . I find the interviews the best as they each bring their perspective to the interviewer .Highly recommended
  • DaveWAbtwn
    Love these conversations
    Found this pod because I like Big Wos. Knew of DA from being a longtime NBA fan. Keep up the great work guys, these conversations are top notch, entertaining and enlightening. Nice chemistry. Impressive guest list to say the least. 5 stars all day!
  • BigPoppa99
    Fantastic always.
    DA is a legend. I heard him on #AngryAmericans with Paul Rieckhoff and found this pod after—and I’m so glad I did. He leads a fantastic show, with amazing guests and a cool vibe. It’s a must for sports fans—and anyone who digs good pods!
  • SloopedHoops
    Red carpet treatment
    Great pod, love Wos, love DA. Premier guests. However it feels a little soft. Would love to hear Wos push back on some of these guests. JA’s recent comparison of the military and NBA players was a atrocious on several levels. Big teachable moment WYA
  • Doctra22
    Appreciate this show
    Great for a veteran reporter like DA to bring vast knowledge to the show. Wosny is an up and coming intelligent young brother who soaks up knowledge and drops some of his own.

    David! Just discovered your podcast and listened to the latest AND a previous episode. LOVE IT!!!!! You guys were wondering how Utah’s defense crumbled this season. Go back to the ONE 2019 playoff victory over Houston. Watch ONLY the last quarter: Derrick Favors played all but a minute at Center. Gobert came in, committed TWO egregious turnovers and was yanked. Favs returned. The Power Forward minutes split between Thabo Sefalosha and Jae Crowder. Royce O’Neale played the entire quarter at The 3 while Ingles sat the entire period. Both guards, Rubio and Mitchell, played all 12 minutes. For all intents and purposes the Jazz beat the Rockets by closing out with Favors, Sefalosha, Crowder, O’Neale, Mitchell, and Rubio. Two thirds of those players are gone!

    Genius!
    Smartest show in the biz

    Wos and DA are the best
    DA and Wos are a perfect combination seemingly tailor made for what I want out of a podcast. I always make sure I have time where I’m not doing anything else to make sure I can listen in depth. Jade with the great production as always.

    Insulting to Kobe’s victim
    I’ve liked and admired both David Aldridge and JA Adande for many years. But I was sickened to hear the dismissive and insulting way they discussed Kobe’s rape charges. For them to say that we can’t know what happened, and so we have to play it down the middle, since Kobe was never convinced — that’s disingenuous at best. The percentage of false rape accusations is tiny. The physical evidence in this case was strong. You like the guy and don’t want to believe it — just say that and stop pretending objectivity. To then say that the victim stopped cooperating with police because she was negotiating a settlement — that’s misleading at best, and seems deliberately revisionist. Her name was revealed multiple times, media printed it, she was receiving death threats from “fans,” Kobe’s lawyers smeared her nonstop. Her life was made miserable by Kobe, his legal team, and his supporters, on top of the trauma she already suffered. David’s emotion in thinking of his child and Kobe’s was moving — I wish he could have the same empathy for Kobe’s victim.

    This is Black Culture
    Thank you to The Athletic for getting this out there. It’s important to be hearing conversation across different generations and Wos and Davis are a great pair. The Odd Couple in a way. Please keep this going.
