Introducing Hoops Über Alles – a basketball podcast

by Kevin Nesgoda March 1, 2021
written by Kevin Nesgoda

Cascadia Sports Network reporters Taylor Bartle, Kevin Nesgoda, and Miles DeCaro have started a brand new podcast and YouTube show to talk about highlights – and lowlights – of the NBA!

Check out our first episode, where we talk about the All-Star Game, Shaq getting in the wrestling ring, and of course the highlights of last week’s games. We also, of course, had to discuss the SuperSonics. We take a look at the free agent pool and try to determine if there’s enough talent there to create an expansion team without the need for an expansion draft.

So rate, review, subscribe, all that other fun stuff and join us every week for Hoops Über Alles! Available now on Spotify and Pocket Casts, more networks coming soon or subscribe via RSS. You can also join us on Patreon for special exclusive content!

Big Smooth and one of the roses of Guns N’ Roses. Two great tastes that go great together? Or a discordant symphony that makes you questions your senses?

Let’s find out.

Former Sonic Sam Perkins and musician Duff McKagan join host Brad Burns in this episode of Sonics Forever.

Sonics Forever, the joint podcast venture from George Karl’s Truth+ Media and Simply Seattle, wants to take you through the journey of Seattle’s one-time — and hopefully, soon again — NBA team. As seen through the fog of memory of some of the biggest names associated with the club, it wants to tell you a well-earned history and maybe share some things you’ve never known.

Smooth shares some insights into his quiet, calm demeanor on the court, which Duff says inspires him in the moments he wants cooler heads to prevail. Duff talks going to a number of games up in the 300 level at KeyArena with Kim Thayil of Soundgarden fame.

Both address the biggest rumors about them: Was Duff Beer on The Simpsons named after McKagan, at one point known as “Duff, the King of Beers”? And was Perkins ever as high on the court as many in Seattle assumed?

It’s a fun discussion with some ‘90s Sonics love.

Sonics Forever: Podcast revisiting the Seattle SuperSonics journey with the biggest names

As the Green and Gold Faithful get revved up about the growing likelihood of NBA expansion — the strongest possibility of returning the league to Seattle since the failed purchase and relocation effort of the Sacramento Kings in 2013 — a site, a podcast, a project is helping to celebrate the legacy of the team.

Sonics Forever launched this past October. It’s a joint effort of Truth+ Media and Simply Seattle, the local retailer that has long championed the team in its absence by offering apparel as the “World’s Largest Sonics Store”.

The podcast seeks to remember the team by speaking to some of the biggest names in Seattle SuperSonics history. It looks to provide new insights for a fanbase just as fervent as when the team took to the boards at KeyArena.

Truth+ Media offers a unique perspective and access to team dignitaries through its founder, George Karl. Karl, the sixth-winningest coach in NBA history, was leader of arguably the greatest stretch of success in the Sonics 41 years in the league.

The company debuted last year with the coach’s excellent Truth + Basketball podcast, an exploration of the game, coaching success, and Karl’s own history.

In the 12 episodes released to date, Sonics Forever has come out hot with discussions with the likes of former Sonics Shawn Kemp, Detlef Schrempf, Sam Perkins, Eddie Johnson, Spencer Haywood, and Gary Payton.

Add to that talks with fans like musicians Sir Mix-A-Lot and Duff McKagan, definitive NBA 6th man and Seattle native Jamal Crawford, and longtime broadcaster Kenny Mayne.

Topped with conversations with legendary player and coach Lenny Wilkens and the man considered by many as the voice of the Sonics, Kevin Calabro.

And of course, Steve Scheffler.

It’s a stacked lineup, and we look forward to covering it as episodes drop. And we’ll be playing catchup with current episodes on Wednesdays.
