Steve and Nekias are true lovers of ball.

Spending the first 10 minutes of the podcast talking about Aaron Wiggins and the Raptors' defense is not the hilarious bit that they think it is, it's just actual poor news judgement. Crazy take here maybe but talking about stories in rough order of importance is the way every journalist/analyst in every subject ever is actually the universal standard for very good reason. I'm also a basketball nerd and interested in talking about lesser players, but there's something way to self-indulgent about the way they do this.

One of the very few pods that solely covers what matters about basketball and avoids lazy, narrative discussions.

Audio quality not very good. Too many categorical this or that discussions. Nekias can leads string conversations making good points and carrying the listener interests while Steve seems checked out, not adding much and constantly asking Nekias what he thinks after he’s already made multiple points.

Love these two! I’m a basketball junkie and they keep providing knowledge that helps me to better watch both men’s and women’s basketball better.

Finally gave this pod a shot as I’ve seen it in the nba search. I thought the name was lame and lazy so I stayed away. Should’ve trusted my gut, this pod is boring and overall pretty terrible. Wake up you two!!! Bang some pots together or drink a lot of coffee, something.

What is there to say? If you’re here, you know who these guys are, and it’s a perfect podcast. I would like to know who thinks of the Arrested Development-style episode titles. Because you guys are very good with witty phrases wrapped around some sort of universal saying or reference. Most recently: “Tell It to the Judges” for the All Star weekend podcast, a play on “tell it to the judge” that everyone has heard before. Also: “Show Me the Money” for Siakam trade, and his upcoming contract. “All that Jazz” for a pod about the Jazz. “I Like to Move it, Move It” for a hectic day of WNBA free agency. Kudos. Five Stars.

Nekias and Steve know basketball and their love for the game and breaking it down for fans is unparalleled. I love that they cover the W as well as the NBA. They also create an awesome and inclusive community for the Dunker Nation.

Great conduction by Nekias, excellent analysis by Steve. Chemistry is perfect. Sometimes I just have past episodes as background as it is so pleasant to hear them vibe. Update sept 28. A bit strange vibes lately.

Great commentary and coverage of the NBA and WNBA. One suggestion: Hard to produce, but if you can put this on video with some X&O diagrams on some of your analysis, this would ether all other sport shows.

great pod during the actual nba season but i’m just not interested in the wnba at all.

My favorite basketball podcast. Great analysis and personalities. Encouraging people to think about the games instead of narratives

So stop talking about it

Elite X’s and O’s analysis, but nothing beats these two scheming up free throw questions for the opposition.

Special basketball podcast— knowledgeable, informative, direct, familiar and funny with how well Nekias and Steve vibe off of each other.

The holiday mailbag episode was so good. I laughed out loud hard multiple times. Steve being hangry makes the pod great.

Love your podcast 🔥

Great podcast for hardcore professional basketball fans. Great guests and very detailed look at the various going’s on of an NBA or WNBA season.

These guys are so knowledgeable. Love the conversations. Embrace your bounce

Chemistry on point. Informative. Funny. Natural. Petty. Thank you.

Facts are important. Covered topics honestly or don’t cover them at all

A basketball podcast that actually covers basketball. Love it

If you want excellent NBA analysis and not just hot takes, then this is the show for you. I am a smarter and more educated fan for having listened to this show. This is a must listen for anybody that is an NBA fan!

This podcast is really good. For real

My basketball brain only grows stronger and larger with each passing episode. Nekias and Steve do a fantastic job of discussing the X and Os and opening your third basketball eye. You’ll be floating and chanting basketball plays before you know it.

Tune in every episode, will always #EmbraceMyBounce, keep up the great work!

Appreciate y’all’s vibe - got me embracing my bounce! For real tho, I learn something from y’all every time I tune in.

Must have in your NBA podcast rotation. Stick around for the free throws. Please reveal a full list of [redacted] names.

These guys actually talk about the ins and outs of the game and each team’s strengths and weaknesses. Not about hot takes (other than big agendas) just hoops. Crazy no teams have hired these guys yet.

I listen to all the NBA podcasts. All of them, the good, the bad, the ugly. If you are looking for a nuanced discussion of X’s and O’s, this is the one for you. Both Nekias and Steve are brilliant basketball minds that don’t just throw out hot takes, but have substance and evidence behind them. It’s a complete joy to listen to them. And my god, Steve is hilarious. The dude should be a stand up basketball comedian. Here’s my power ranking of NBA podcasts: 1) The Dunker’s Spot, 2) Most everything else, 3) <redacted>. Keep up the good work!

Nekias “We got Sabonis at home” (Re: Porzingis) was *chefs kiss*… You boys keep doing good work. Keep setting the standard!

Some days I wish Nekias more resembled Barkley so that Steve could facetiously compare Nekias's opinions to Chuck's instead of Perk's.

I listen to several NBA podcasts but I was late to this one and now I feel guilty as that I owe the guys an apology. Outstanding content, chemistry, and cadence on this podcast. A must listen for any NBA fan

One of the best NBA pods in existence.

Awesome pod from two of the smartest in the business, who actually spend the time to do the work and provide great analysis.

Two of the smartest in the biz!

Is he the next Giannis?

I’ve not graduated to Dunker Dad yet, still only a Dunker Husband, but I still sympathize with Steve’s point on Christmas Day game watching. Love the pod y’all, always an easy and interesting listen between two people who have wonderful chemistry.

I started listening to this podcast a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier. One of the best basketball pods out there for both the die hard and casual NBA fan.

The basketball analysis on this show is some of the best out there. Unfortunately it is interrupted far too often by forced “running jokes.” What realistically happens in a standard episode is 2-3 minutes of a fascinating dialogue before we get in interjection. Usually, “can I get an age check?” or “is that -insert player- slander?” These are the types of jokes that would be funny if they occurred once an episode or less, but as is they just get in the way. I sympathize with the concern that the basketball content on its own could be dry, but that is not the case. It’s entertaining enough to survive without the obnoxious gags.

Make sure you check the ages real quick

I really like these two put out. Each member of the duo brings their best to make the overall product strong. Nekias is a journo who does his best to be objective with the analysis that he provides with the context of watching games with a critical eye. If he does not know, or has missed something, he leans on the coaching experience of Steve Jones and his familiarity with the league as a whole. Steve is always coaching and his analysis is always provided in a palatable way to teach and cue what we as basketball consumers should be for looking in game. My only critique would be maybe to provide short breaks in between topics to give the pod a better flow, but this doesn’t take away from the product at all. Great job y’all.

Steve COMPLETELY dropped the ball on the Sunday June 7th episode. Please do a better job of NOT cutting Nekias off and playing empty devil's advocate. Also what championship team routinely plays an all bench lineup in the playoffs. Total rim stuff smh

One of the few NBA podcasts that makes you a smarter consumer of basketball. Steve and Nekias are a great pairing.

Awesome show

Both smart, great dynamic between them, can tell they put in the work

As good as any NBA podcast. Great attention to detail, very entertaining

Man idek where to start... Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones Jr., a writer and a former NBA coach - their love and interest for the game is unrivaled! Weekly episodes to help stay up to date with what’s going on around the league, and they really go into the details of each team and player. Probably my favorite NBA podcast right now, and I simply cant stress enough how good they are. Also, congratulations on the new sponsor! Must listen if you’re an NBA fan, incredible analysis with a dose (or OD level dose) of puns Awesome stuff guys👐

I’m really enjoying this pod for a level of on-court analysis missing on most pods. Also great chemistry between these guys!

Nekias and Steve ask each other interesting questions, and acknowledge their own biases when they judge players and teams. The puns are great and terrible. #bigglad each time it shows up in my feed!
