Description

“48 Minutes” is a comprehensive podcast featuring discussion and analysis of the biggest NBA stories. Former NBA assistant coach Ross Geiger leads a trio of hoop junkies who offer insight, analysis, and perspective about the game and the culture surrounding it. Ross is joined by Emmy Award winning producer Bruce Bernstein, who spent more than 30 years covering the league at ESPN and research expert Michael Freer, whose information is used by many NBA announcers in their game coverage. Listeners to “48 Minutes” will arm themselves with the kind of hoop knowledge that will help them make intelligent wagers while becoming “Watercooler Legends.”
