Elite X’s and O’s analysis, but nothing beats these two scheming up free throw questions for the opposition.

Special basketball podcast— knowledgeable, informative, direct, familiar and funny with how well Nekias and Steve vibe off of each other.

The holiday mailbag episode was so good. I laughed out loud hard multiple times. Steve being hangry makes the pod great.

Love your podcast 🔥

Great podcast for hardcore professional basketball fans. Great guests and very detailed look at the various going’s on of an NBA or WNBA season.

These guys are so knowledgeable. Love the conversations. Embrace your bounce

Chemistry on point. Informative. Funny. Natural. Petty. Thank you.

Facts are important. Covered topics honestly or don’t cover them at all

A basketball podcast that actually covers basketball. Love it

If you want excellent NBA analysis and not just hot takes, then this is the show for you. I am a smarter and more educated fan for having listened to this show. This is a must listen for anybody that is an NBA fan!

This podcast is really good. For real

My basketball brain only grows stronger and larger with each passing episode. Nekias and Steve do a fantastic job of discussing the X and Os and opening your third basketball eye. You’ll be floating and chanting basketball plays before you know it.

Audio quality not very good. Too many categorical this or that discussions.

Tune in every episode, will always #EmbraceMyBounce, keep up the great work!

Appreciate y’all’s vibe - got me embracing my bounce! For real tho, I learn something from y’all every time I tune in.

Must have in your NBA podcast rotation. Stick around for the free throws. Please reveal a full list of [redacted] names.

These guys actually talk about the ins and outs of the game and each team’s strengths and weaknesses. Not about hot takes (other than big agendas) just hoops. Crazy no teams have hired these guys yet.

I listen to all the NBA podcasts. All of them, the good, the bad, the ugly. If you are looking for a nuanced discussion of X’s and O’s, this is the one for you. Both Nekias and Steve are brilliant basketball minds that don’t just throw out hot takes, but have substance and evidence behind them. It’s a complete joy to listen to them. And my god, Steve is hilarious. The dude should be a stand up basketball comedian. Here’s my power ranking of NBA podcasts: 1) The Dunker’s Spot, 2) Most everything else, 3) <redacted>. Keep up the good work!

Nekias “We got Sabonis at home” (Re: Porzingis) was *chefs kiss*… You boys keep doing good work. Keep setting the standard!

Some days I wish Nekias more resembled Barkley so that Steve could facetiously compare Nekias's opinions to Chuck's instead of Perk's.

I listen to several NBA podcasts but I was late to this one and now I feel guilty as that I owe the guys an apology. Outstanding content, chemistry, and cadence on this podcast. A must listen for any NBA fan

One of the best NBA pods in existence.

Awesome pod from two of the smartest in the business, who actually spend the time to do the work and provide great analysis.

Two of the smartest in the biz!

Is he the next Giannis?

I’ve not graduated to Dunker Dad yet, still only a Dunker Husband, but I still sympathize with Steve’s point on Christmas Day game watching. Love the pod y’all, always an easy and interesting listen between two people who have wonderful chemistry.

I started listening to this podcast a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier. One of the best basketball pods out there for both the die hard and casual NBA fan.

The basketball analysis on this show is some of the best out there. Unfortunately it is interrupted far too often by forced “running jokes.” What realistically happens in a standard episode is 2-3 minutes of a fascinating dialogue before we get in interjection. Usually, “can I get an age check?” or “is that -insert player- slander?” These are the types of jokes that would be funny if they occurred once an episode or less, but as is they just get in the way. I sympathize with the concern that the basketball content on its own could be dry, but that is not the case. It’s entertaining enough to survive without the obnoxious gags.

Make sure you check the ages real quick

I really like these two put out. Each member of the duo brings their best to make the overall product strong. Nekias is a journo who does his best to be objective with the analysis that he provides with the context of watching games with a critical eye. If he does not know, or has missed something, he leans on the coaching experience of Steve Jones and his familiarity with the league as a whole. Steve is always coaching and his analysis is always provided in a palatable way to teach and cue what we as basketball consumers should be for looking in game. My only critique would be maybe to provide short breaks in between topics to give the pod a better flow, but this doesn’t take away from the product at all. Great job y’all.

Yes.

Steve COMPLETELY dropped the ball on the Sunday June 7th episode. Please do a better job of NOT cutting Nekias off and playing empty devil's advocate. Also what championship team routinely plays an all bench lineup in the playoffs. Total rim stuff smh

One of the few NBA podcasts that makes you a smarter consumer of basketball. Steve and Nekias are a great pairing.

Awesome show

Both smart, great dynamic between them, can tell they put in the work

As good as any NBA podcast. Great attention to detail, very entertaining

Man idek where to start... Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones Jr., a writer and a former NBA coach - their love and interest for the game is unrivaled! Weekly episodes to help stay up to date with what’s going on around the league, and they really go into the details of each team and player. Probably my favorite NBA podcast right now, and I simply cant stress enough how good they are. Also, congratulations on the new sponsor! Must listen if you’re an NBA fan, incredible analysis with a dose (or OD level dose) of puns Awesome stuff guys👐

I’m really enjoying this pod for a level of on-court analysis missing on most pods. Also great chemistry between these guys!

Nekias and Steve ask each other interesting questions, and acknowledge their own biases when they judge players and teams. The puns are great and terrible. #bigglad each time it shows up in my feed!

Two informative, insightful basketball minds. Learn something every podcast

Loving the puns

As someone who listens to it all, Lowe, Mismatch, etc. This is the best there is. Trust me

Highly recommended if you love the NBA and would love to learn more about the NBA!

I have known Nekias since we were 6 years old and religiously debated sports every day with him through the 6th grade. He turned a childhood dream of becoming a renown sports reporter (a dream that we shared) into a bright career. The Dunker Spot gives him the platform to prove that he I s as dedicated to studying the game of basketball as any reporter out there. Tired of hot takes and base-level analysis from ESPN? Nekias is your guy. The Dunker Spot dives into granular detail i.e. the number of times the Suns are switching screens and how that is a league-wide phenomenon this season. Congratulations on the success!

Steve and Nekias are two brilliant basketball minds who make a great show. Definitely an essentially listen for NBA fans of all levels.

Steve and Nekias are awesome basketball minds with great chemistry. Even better people. Wish the pod was daily

Didn’t realize these guys had a podcast - great follows on Twitter, excited to find out there’s a pod

contains NBA media’s #1 pun master….. and Nekias Duncan! hades.gif

Not as focused on cap space as Duncan, Hollinger, etc. Just Xs and Os at a high level and easily understood. Great pod.

Nobody does it like Nekias and Steve. Their insane knowledge of basketball is a direct result of all the hard work they put in studying the game. And it shows. Just one listen will have you feeling like a smarter, more informed NBA fan. These two helped me understand the X’s and O’s of the game a lot better, and if you’re looking for fresh, league-wide, no-narrative basketball analysis, this is the place to be.
