Ever wonder who how basketball in the Seven Kingdoms would be like? Probably not, so we're doing the thought experiment for you. Jeffrey invites James Liu on to decide which Game of Thrones characters would make the best basketball team. Warning, this pod is heavy with spoilers.

The wake of the Robert Sarver allegations of racism, sexual harassment, and employee harassment, brings up the question of how fans of a team should react to news like this. Should fans 'disown' a team? Is a team its players, coach, GM, or owner? To address these questions, Jeffrey and a new guest Kevin Tian discuss what it would take for him to lose his Celtics fandom.

Jeffrey and Matt sip some of that sweet haterade and discuss their top five most hated players in the NBA.

The NBA is back but are the ratings? Join Jeffrey and Matt as they explore the decline in NBA ratings and whether the NBA would be better off if there were ten teams in LA and NYC.

Matt joins Jeffrey to discuss the impact Jeremy Lin had on Asian Americans, when we were chosen for pick up games, and the responsibility-or lack of responsibility-athletes have to speak out on society and race.

This podcast is about more than the schemes, stats, and X's and O's about basketball. From how the NBA has addressed social issues to the decline in NBA ratings, and even some fun stuff like who would make the best team in Game of Thrones, Shut Up and Dribble explores the intersection of culture, society, and business with basketball.Launching October 7, 2021Follow us at: https://twitter.com/shutup_dribble | https://www.instagram.com/shutupanddribblepod/?hl=en | https://www.facebook.com/shutupanddribblepodFind us at: https://shut-up-and-dribble.captivate.fm/For inquiries, email us at [email protected]
