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.

Peach Basket and a Dream
E35 - Checking in on the W Semis and Tanisha: Wrong? + Details on the Golden State Expansion Draft Format
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Well, after 4 sweeps in the first round and 0 road wins we've got a game 4 in both semi-finals series and road teams are 2-4. Will we see a Game 5? Or two?
Tanisha Wright lost her job with the Atlanta Dream after 3 years. Not saying they won't find someone better or enjoy more team success with a different coach, but I have reason to believe that this move has more to do with the play of Rhyne Howard (and her lack of development) than anything else.
Finally, we have some clarity on how the upcoming expansion draft will work. Stay tuned for a mock draft episode coming very soon. Outlined at the end of this episode are the rules of said draft and some wrinkles that I was not expecting but would love to see teams exploit.
