Dave DuFour has been one of my favorite NBA analysts and personalities since I fist met him over a year ago. The two of us used to co-host a podcast that was, for some reason, called the “BOD POD.” The podcast was more or less an excuse to hangout on Skype and talk hoops for an hour.
My admiration for David Thorpe goes back even further. Coach Thorpe was one of the first analysts that really got me into the NBA as more than just a casual fan. Back in what felt like the pioneer days of digital media, Thorpe would join Henry Abbot, Tom Haberstroh, and others and talk about the game of basketball in ways that no one else on earth would.
