Chucking Darts NBA Podcast

A basketball podcast of debatable accuracy. Rigorously, joyfully discussing the NBA. 100% correct until the ball is tipped. Darts are meant to be chucked forward. It's ok to be wrong about sports.

Chucking darts is incredibly entertaining & informative

The best NBA draft podcast out there.

Volume Issues

Hi! I love your podcasts but your guest’s mic-volume is always much lower than yours & it makes it difficult to listen to. Please adjust on future pods so we can all enjoy all the excellent content you provide. Thanks!

One of the better NBA draft podcasts out there. There are two things I like about Chuck. The first is he’s a sharp analyst who presents his thought in a clear, easy to understand manner. The next is he realizes that analyzing NBA draft prospects is not a serious topic and is something to have fun with. He always has excellent guests and the rapport makes for a great listen.
