Yahoo Sports NBA: Ball Don't Lie

Yahoo Sports NBA: Ball Don't Lie

BALL DON’T LIE 2.0 is back for its second season. Yahoo Sports’ lauded NBA blog is resurrected in podcast form, with four episodes a week through the NBA season. Vincent Goodwill hosts GOOD WORD WITH GOODWILL on Mondays and Wednesdays, chatting with his friends from around the league to deliver spicy takes on the NBA’s most interesting storylines. Dan Devine drops in Tuesdays with DEVINE INTERVENTION, the world's first self-help podcast about basketball. Why talk about just the NBA when you could talk about the NBA and your innermost secrets and fears? Jake Fischer & Dan Devine bring things home on Thursdays with NO CAP ROOM: a chat show about NBA vibes, two friends from Brooklyn and the latest front-office whispers Jake is hearing from around the league.
