Give Me the Ball
DJ Green and Yowan Dawud
18 episodes
Hosted by two former college point guards who still can't stop arguing about the game.
More about the show
DJ and Yo break down the NBA, debate players, talk hoops culture, and bring their own experiences on the court into the conversation. One minute they're seriously debating whether an NBA player could survive a 1-on-1 league. The next, they're arguing about who would win in a pickup game or telling stories from their playing days.
Just two friends, two different perspectives, a lot of basketball, a lot of laughs, and the occasional conversation that gets way more serious than it was supposed to.
NBA debates. Hooper stories. 1-on-1 arguments. Real life.
Give Me The Ball.
