Today we're joined by Adam Mamawala and Mike Schubert of Horse HOOPS podcast, we're also joined by WNBA player and EuroLeague star Jacki Gemelos as she tells us about her journey through basketball. Horse HOOPs - The NBA is now a 365-day league and it's never been more present in pop culture. From Kevin Durant's burner accounts to LeBron taking his talents anywhere to trusting the Process, the NBA is becoming a pop culture requirement. At the same time, sports can have gatekeepers that make it insular and frustrating for people who aren't die-hard fans. We’re here to prove that basketball is entertaining to follow for all fans, whether you’re actively watching the games or not. On HORSE, we don’t analyze wins and losses. We talk beefs, dig into Internet drama, and have fun.Our show is divided into three parts: 1) Full Court Press: News. But good and silly and important news, like Space Jam 2 trailers 2) That Actually Happened: A dive into the weird and wild history of basketball. 3) 3 on 3: We rank our three favorite and three least favorite things about basketball.
