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?

Peach Basket and a Dream
E31 - Season Winding Down + Reese's Pieces (/w fan mail)
It's been a while...
Apologies for the (Sergio) Lull in episodes, and that awful joke that only really works when written and not said out loud. We may not have been recording lately but we have been paying attention.
With that in mind, we touch on all 12 teams here as a sort of season wrap-up with a focus on the last couple weeks. What has the story been for each team so far and how will their story conclude this season?
We also spend some extra time talking about the Chicago Sky and more specifically Angel Reese. The rebounding, the double doubles, the stat chasing, the message this sends to the team, the way the team has seemingly bought into it, the way the coach seems to be facilitating the birth of a team culture that values personal statistics over team success... Let's just say we get into it.
Stay tuned for two more episodes this week. E32 will contain some more rookie talk and begin to hypothesize about the upcoming expansion draft. Should be published on Wednesday. E33 will be our playoff preview episode on Friday or Saturday.
