Peach Basket and a Dream
In 1891, James Naismith created basketball as a way for athletes to stay active in the winter months between the baseball and football seasons. The first game was super raw, much like this podcast, and used literal peach baskets on poles to form the "hoop". With nothing but a peach basket and a dream, the wonderful sport of basketball was born.
Similarly, with nothing but a microphone and way too many opinions, this podcast was born.
In this space, we cover basketball in terms of numbers, but more importantly we also get into the characters and story lines that make up some of the best reality TV available in the form of the NBA and WNBA.
Looking for a simple game to play and test your basketball knowledge?
Try out Basketball Leg Ends on Instagram. Every few days we will post a picture of a basketball player's legs and task you with identifying that player.

It's a daily grind right now, but the finals are upon us.
As a bitter Canadian, it is difficult for me to root for anyone in this finals match up, but I do acknowledge the historical significance of seeing Wembanyama vs. the faces of the NBA for the last decade or so.
Something tells me we will also see history being made in the bronze medal game.
Back tomorrow with a similar episode updating the women's side of things.
