Customer Reviews
Good podcast
They have fun when they are talking and are not just so professional but have real sports talk.
Hello No Dunkers
I remember coming home from school everyday to watch my 20 minutes of The Starters after it had been uploaded to YouTube. It was a part of my daily routine and my gateway to becoming an NBA sicko. Then one day, poof gone from the feed. No more Starters and my freshman high school mind couldn’t comprehend what had happened to my favorite NBA show. Then a few years ago in my 20’s and now in college I was reunited with my favorite NBA sickos on No Dunks and have been listening ever since. I find my listening for the objective and conversational basketball talk and staying for the rapid fire fun and occasional fruit drafts. Keep up the great work and podcasters this is for you.
(P.S had to share my favorite show moment which is when Leigh had to eat all those bananas)
Nickname
Since there's been a lot of talk about nicknames recently, I stumbled across Bill Cartwright's on basketball reference, and he's got a pretty cool collection: Mr. Bill, Teach, Dollar Bill, Medical Bill, Bill Idle, and Invisi-Bill. They don't make them like they used to...
Really love the pod, I'm glad i re-discovered you guys. I used to watch the Starters every weekday afternoon after high school. Nowadays I'm glad I can sneak an airpod in at work to listen to you guys live every morning during the weekday.
