Thought this was a great podcast:

As many of you may know, Gene Banks is the reason I fell in love with Duke basketball. Gene Banks has a podcast out, called the Bank Shot. Listened to the first episode today.

He's not gonna win any awards, but he fucking loves Duke, man. He was a carry over from Bill Foster, and played one season for K. At the end of the pod, he talks about K's first season at Duke and how K was already a great motivator and tactician.

It really is worth a listen, as it will really help you get how important Gene Banks was to Duke, and vice versa.

He was on Nolan Smith's Brotherhood livestream too. Good guy. Had some interesting stories about both Duke and the NBA.

I was just googling him and came across this article, @rhfarmer . Might be of interest to you.

Long before Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett were taking college basketball by storm, and even before coach Mike Krzyzewski started roaming Duke’s sideline, there…

@rome8180 every Duke fan should be interested in Tinkerbell.

Also, Banks was Nolan's great uncle.

Some topical recent sports podcasts:

Russillo had Kara Lawson on, and they talked a significant bit about Brad Stevens potentially coming to Duke. Simmons had Russillo on, and they talked a tiny bit about Brad Stevens potentially coming to Duke.

Redick had Stacey Abrams on, and she was very impressive. Kind of unbelievable, but not really, that she lost to the current governor of Georgia, who appears to be mentally handicapped.

 

[rome8180]

She didn't lose though.

 

[rome8180]

And I wish she had been Biden's VP pick.

Steve Nash was scheduled to be Redick's next guest on his podcast. Not sure if that's going to happen anymore.

 

[rome8180]

Would be even better now.

 

[rome8180]

Update: it did happen. I haven't listened yet.

 

[rome8180]

If there's one guy I wish had been a Duke alum, it's Nash. I assume most people would pick Kobe or LeBron.

I'll cop to enjoying some Rogan episodes. But a) he agrees with whatever his guests say and b) he promotes/platforms too many shitheads like Jones, Tim Pool, etc.

 

[torontoduke]

I prefer Maron, Aisha Tyler(few years back) and Bill Burr podcasts

The thing about Rogan is he's just as likely to have someone from the far left on the podcast. He's had Sanders on, and endorsed him during the primary. But man, he's a weirdo intellectually. I get that he prides himself on his "open mindedness" but that doesn't have to include believing in total nonsense.

However, the left's vilification of him is counterproductive. There is a certain, not-insignificant subset of America that might be willing to vote for a Biden, but is so sick of being told they're Nazis for listening to Rogan (or similar choices) that they end up spite-voting for Trump.
