Rob Parker: “I’ll tell you, Shaq knows, he played in the league. He knows about basketball and all that, but this is my pushback when people gravitate towards former players, expecting them to do homework, research, not just show up and be a big personality but actually know what’s going on.

Kelvin Washington: “What we as consumers of things need to understand now is that you have access to anything and everything that you want. Gone are the days of things being force fed to you when you turn on the TV or the radio. You have more options today to get what you want, there are millions of podcasts that will go in depth on basketball...you know exactly what Inside the NBA is! They’re there to make you laugh!”
