NBA Playoffs Tap In

What a night for the NBA last night: two games down to the wire, a buzzer beater from the Glitch himself, and some chaos at the Garden. We’re tappin’ in to discuss all things first-round playoffs. Q and D touch on why the Lakers did everything right and why it isn’t enough, how the Knicks are hoopin’, even on an off-night from Brunson, and why they’re impressed by Donovan and the Cavs. They look forward to tonight’s games, and get into why they think Phoenix will bounce back against Minny, what Indy needs to do to get on the board in Milwaukee, and why Dallas will be going back home down 0–2 against the Clips. Tap in!

We back with a Tap In for the best time of the year in basketball. Fresh off an exciting March Madness, we rollin’ right into the playoffs, and Q and D are ready to touch on it all. They look into what should be a wild, wild stretch, why Denver can and may be beaten, who matches up against them the best, and what could go down on the Eastern Conference side of things. They also give their takes on the end of the year awards, including why Wemby should be bringing home two awards this season. Hoop is in full swing, so tap in!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NBA Tap In

The Lakers unveiled Kobe Bryant’s statue and in honor of that we’re throwing it back to one of our best episodes ever — with Bean, himself. Kobe looks back on being the first guard to jump to the NBA out of high school, what it was like playing as a teenager in the league, and his first All-Star Game — matching up against MJ. He also discusses why he switched from wearing number 8 to number 24 and what it was like on the Lakers after Shaq left. There was no one like Kobe Bryant, and we will never forget the energy and love he showed us during this episode. We miss you, Bean. RIP.

KH Classic: Kobe Bryant

We rockin’ with another classic this week, with the OG tall-guy point forward, Tim Thomas. The New Jersey legend looks back on being ranked No. 1 in the country over Kobe during their senior year of high school, choosing to go to Villanova before the league, and how he became good friends with 50 Cent. Truly one of the greatest high school hoopers of all time and a certified bucket — Tap in!
