Zach is a fun listen, quite knowledgeable about players, front offices, salary caps, strategies and other things not associated with basketball. If you're tired of hearing about First Take and Undisputed argue about vague things that don't really matter, this could be for you!

Zach brings a great, in-depth perspective to the current NBA landscape. He's plugged in everywhere and his guests are as well. Fantastic listen just about every time. I also think he's better as a podcast lead - as far as responding to guests and facilitating conversation - than most hoops-focused pods.
Fantastic podcast, keep it up!

It's hard to understand why Zach Lowe invites guests on this podcast. The show is all and (almost) only about what Zach thinks. The typical podcast flow involves Zach offering his opinion at length and then asking the guest what he or she thinks, before Zach interrupts the guest's thoughts to offer more of his own. Lowe is like the date who says, "Enough about me; let's talk about you. What do you think of my opinions."
That said, Lowe offers some helpful opinions and grounds many of them in a careful analysis of game action. In that respect, he's a welcome antidote to the Stephen A. Smith style of commentary. But, he is like Stephen A. in one overwhelming respect: his show is almost always all about himself. It just does not wear well.
Only NBA Podcast You Need

Zach is the best. He's a brilliant, likable guy who can break down pretty much any angle of the NBA into completely digestible points. His guest list has gotten a bit shorter in the past 12 months, but he's one of the few writers who can make even athlete interviews interesting. He never feels like he's sucking up to anyone, he's free to disagree without things devolving into a sports talk radio shouting match, and most of all he's a guy I could see getting along with almost anyone. The Lowe Post is honestly the only NBA podcast you need.

This guy seems like he hates life. His incessant whining about people who have a different view than him (God forbid on Twitter!) is tiresome. He sounds like he is miserable and hates everything about this job.
Also he should learn to ask a question then get out of the way to let his guest answer. Terrible host IMO. Very frustrating listen all around.

McCollum vs. McCallum

2016-04-27
I love this podcast! The analysis and guests are great and I listen to every episode.
This past season, Zach keeps saying "McCallum" when referring to CJ McCollum. I'm not sure if it's because Ray McCallum has a similar surname, but it's very noticeable. I know he doesn't think that Ray McCallum plays for the Blazers, but it's just funny since he's actually had CJ McCollum on the pod before.
Again, I love the podcast. This is just a minor/petty gripe.

It’s hard to write this, because I want to like this podcast, but I just can’t. It’s awful. All three hosts bring their own personal brand of garbage to the table: Chris Ryan and Juliet Litman are both without their better halves (Andy Greenwald and Dave Jacoby), and end up just cranking up the annoyance factor to unfathomable levels. As for Sharp, I don’t know what’s left to say. The guy just doesn’t have it. Nothing he says is interesting.
It’s all (pretty terrible) jokes, dumb references, and air horns, with the slightest sprinkling of actual information thrown in at the last second. I understand it’s supposed to be a fun, loose podcast, but jesus, a few minutes of legitimate discussion might be nice.
If you like listening to trio-de-doofus jerk each other off for 45 minutes, give it a listen. If not, skip it and listen to the Lowe Post or The Starters.

Someone wrote in a review that they do not what it says about the, but that it is their favorite weekly podcast. If that means there is something wrong with you, then yep something is wrong with me too. Seriously, this is a great podcast. I love the random places that the podcast goes and the fact that they genuinely enjoy talking to each other. If KD does go to Washington, that might be the greatest podcast ever.

I seem to listen to nearly every Grantland Podcast. This is the one that my wife insists that I wait for her to listen to together. What makes the NBA so fun is the sheer volume of ridiculous crap that happens off the court and these three hosts love all of it. Not only do they talk hoops but the extra curricular stuff which may not get fully covered in normal sports media. Fully recommended for people who like the lighter (and occasionally darker) side of basketball.
