OGs Talkin' Ball
A weekly, one-of-a-kind podcast hosted by Portland basketball enthusiasts and self-proclaimed OGs, that’s Old Grandmas to you, Mary Lou and Phyllis. Original Gangstas of the game, these two know hoops!
Each week these friends package up all things basketball, kind of like chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven, before serving up their unique spin on players, coaches, games, fans, trends, books, movies and more.
While their focus is on the NBA (their hometown Blazers often get some extra love), they won't hesitate to dive into college or WNBA topics when the moment calls for it.
Join Mary Lou and Phyllis for a lively, no-nonsense and surprisingly insightful take on the game they've loved for decades.
After all, OGs know ball!

Basketball Buzz How is it that in both women’s and men’s college basketball, ratings races are close and can change weekly? Is it possible that a single loss can really define an entire season? Mary Lou and Phyllis wonder about these things out loud and also couldn’t resist discussing NBA trade rumors.
When the Whistle Blows Team fouls vs. personal fouls - what’s the difference? What’s the limit? The OGs break it down and talk about how fouls can flip a game in a heartbeat.
Business Beyond the Game A conversation about professional basketball players who have achieved financial success long after their basketball playing days are over. While on the topic of salaries, the OGs couldn’t ignore talking about how much money NBA coaches are paid.
