The Swish Society

🤦🏾‍♂️ We don't know how we did it but Edd did it! We interviewed one of the greatest of all time, Rick Barry. He shares tonnes from his journey, From clinching the Rookie of the Year title in 1966 to leading the Golden State Warriors to glory in 1975. Barry then takes us to school where he talks about the evolution of basketball, the essence of the All-Star game, and the mental fortitude it takes to excel under pressure. Then he doesn't hold back talking the current NBA landscape, the influence of legends like Steph Curry, and calling the All-Star Game an "exhibition" and not a game at all Then there is even some GOAT debate (wouldn't be swish without it) and Rick Barry doesn't hold back there either! Who should we interview next? Let us know in the comments!

We are all about Kobe today (even through Ed’s mutiple de-rails) after the unveiling of his statue. Ed and Muzz attempt to go into the story behind Kobe's first beloved KB shoe, his rookie days, the Slam Dunk Competition, and his journey to becoming one of the greats. But in typical fashion in this NBA podcast, we start to compare Kobe to other ballers (you can guess who) and as much as we tried, we couldn't keep them on track. Whether you're a long-time follower of our 25-strong subscriber community or new to the channel, this episode promises insights, laughter, and a few surprises that you won't want to miss. Subscribe to catch all our episodes and join us in appreciating the legend that is Kobe Bryant and understanding the essence of Mamba Mentality.

This week producer Ben gives Ed and Muzz no choice over the players - meaning that he didn't include LeBron and Jordan on purpose. The game works with 4 players of each position, of any era of basketball, of any team, goes into a bowl and put in a head-to-head against each other. One is chosen and then another pair is drawn. Winner chosen again. Finally they choose between the 2 chosen ones to pick who goes into their dream team. There are some easy picks and some not so easy picks. Let us know what you think in the comments - did Ed and Muzz pick the best team? Or does Producer Ben need to learn more about the NBA.

This is the episode that will make you want to subscribe! Producer Ben organised some NBA and basketball general knowledge questions and the boys attempted to answer them and didn't get as many right as you think they would. If you want more hilarious banter, or if you want to leave a comment with the questions you want answered next - do it and we will probably do one of these a month.

After a short hiatus, Ed and Muzz are back (not sure if by popular demand or not). What we discover is that all their NBA predictions were still as wrong as they were last year and they probably don't know as much about basketball as you think. We would definitely appreciate a like and subscribe, we want to hit 100 at some point so that producer Ben will actually keep letting them do this.

You can blame producer Ben for not getting this up before the new NBA season actually started, but Ed and Muzz give their predictions of the new season and you can guess how long it will take for them to descend into a GOAT debate. Are you ready for the new season?
