Today, we salute the fearless players who were able to enthrall crowds and confuse defenders with their inventive footwork, incredible wingspans, unorthodox timing, and improvised creativity. Tune in to find out who were the best at finishing at the rim during an era still littered with big men stationed in the paint.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greatest Sixth Men of the 2010's Featuring Damion Lee
Alright folks, we’re back discussing the greatest sixth men of their era. Except this time, we’re focusing on the 2010’s- a time filled with high flyers, volume shooters, and selfless players who could simply do it all on the floor. The 2010’s notably heralded perennial sixth men who possessed unique styles of play and the ability to fill in the gaps by exploiting the rhythm of the game. There were also dark horse hustlers who made impacts in their own special ways that could not be emulated. Tune in as we speak with sixth man and world champion Damion Lee as he discusses his approach to the game as a proud member of the “Bench Mob!”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greatest Sharpshooters of the 90's Featuring Craig Hodges
Today we’re honored to welcome back to our program Mr. Craig Hodges to get into the nitty gritty when it comes to pure sharp shooting. Not shooting. Sharpshooting! “What’s the difference?,” you ask. One gets the job done while the other puts fear into the hearts and minds of opponents and crowds. It’s the unrelenting surety that once the ball leaves the fingertips of said mercenary, the defense might as well cherry pick into transition offense. It’s a done deal. “Foundation, form, and follow through” are the pillars of the fraternity within the fraternity — as the perennial 3-point champ coaches. This episode we break down the mechanics, mindsets, and everything in between that constitutes an ice cold assassin from the ‘90’s. Tap in to get some pointers on your jump shot.
