Peach Basket and a Dream

Aaron Lippincott

In 1891, James Naismith created basketball as a way for athletes to stay active in the winter months between the baseball and football seasons. The first game was super raw, much like this podcast, and used literal peach baskets on poles to form the "hoop". With nothing but a peach basket and a dream, the wonderful sport of basketball was born.Similarly, with nothing but a microphone and way too many opinions, this podcast was born.In this space, we cover basketball in terms of numbers, but more

Not much to talk about. Still, I apologize.Then we discuss the least impressive NBA MVP of the 21st Century. Normally this is where someone might say "don't @ me", but I welc...

Check us out on Instagram for more Basketball Leg Ends, a visual trivia game.The final thoughts/consequences have to do with getting international play to harmonize a little better with WNBA as well as detailing some players who probably felt a bit disrespected this past month or so and how that could man...

Send us a Text Message.As the title implies, this is an episode covering the women's Olympic basketball group stage with previews of the quarterfinals match ups. However, I did feel it was necessary to address some transphobia and hate that has been on display in the Olympics with the two boxers (Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-Ting of Taiwan). I can't cover the WNBA without a discussion of issues like this and the W has certainly had its own cases of hate and transphobia that continue to ...

2024/07/19

Been about a week since the last episode so obviously we had a little recap to do. Ultimately, this results in some discussion of stat chasing and some of the incredible numbers we are seeing from these rookies. That means Caitlin Clark, of course, and certainly Angel Reese, but there's another rookie very quietly putting on a show in the scoring department.Could we be watching the next Taurasi, Bird, and Fowles in terms of all-time scoring, passing, and rebounding? It's way too early to say ...

Same thing we do every episode, Lippy, try to cover the WNBA. Recaps start us off. Within the recaps we get into the philosophy AND mathematics behind fouling 3 point shooters. Don't let the math scare you! It'll be okay. Next, I give you 5 lessons I've learned in my first season playing WNBA fantasy. Many of them can still help you this season if you are also in a league. Highlights of the men's section include a betting angle for the Las Vegas Summer League starting tomorrow ...

What's the difference between talk and chatter, you ask? One is available in box form and the other can go in circles. What does this mean? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I'm not even sure people read these descriptions and this is one way to find out. I mean... how could you read this and not say something about it? right? RIGHT!?Anyway, this episode starts with some recap and previews just like any other. The bulk of our W talk surrounds the all-star selections and snubs. I remind everyone of...

This episode got interrupted while recording so there's a bit of jumping around to accommodate that. My sincerest apologies. Today we introduce a new recurring segment called "Lipps at an Angle" where I discuss a few general thoughts I've had since last episode. Those thoughts for this episode include: Jade Melbourne needing more minutes, the Connecticut Sun reality check, the outdated roster construction of the Dallas Wings, and the final playoff spot. In the men's world, we talk a bit ...

This episode begins with recap and some injury discussion as some big names return like Natasha Howard and Chelsea Gray, but others take their place on the sidelines like Cameron Brink, Rhyne Howard, and Maddie Siegrist. The main segment in this episode is about which teams I think can compete for a championship and what I see as their individual weaknesses. Those 6 teams, in order: New York Liberty, Las Vegas Aces, Minnesota Lynx, Connecticut Sun, Phoenix Mercury, and Seattle Storm.&nbs...

Lost an episode earlier this week to some tech issues, but we are hoping to emerge now on the other side with improved sound quality. Had a bout a week worth of games to recap, so that's mostly what goes on in this episode. As usual, we start in the W and wrap up by discussing game 2 and 3 of the NBA finals. The big news is the return of Griner and Sykes. The Brittneys are back and already making an impact for their respective squads. Teams that had a Brittney return from injury thi...

I think there is a clear #1.Then we try out a short new segment called "Struggle Bug" where we identify 3 players in the W who are really struggling right now.

So we've done ten episodes now and I thought it was time to reflect on those episodes and try some new things out. More and more I am going to try and get away from just recapping games, especially statistically, and I will be shifting my focus to more of an overview on themes and such. I will experiment with some segments over the next few weeks and this is a great opportunity for feedback. Let me know what you like and don't. This episode has a long discussion of this "Clark Drama", so...
