Mickstape

Coley and Tyler give out all of the 2016-2017 NBA awards correctly. Everyone else (the nerds) can't seem to figure out who are the good players vs. whom are the bad ones.

Volume 25 is far and away the worst, least good episode of Mickstape. And yet it remains the greatest basketball podcast in the history of words and spheres. Truly a testament to our pure grit and overall talent that we were able to nut up and get the job done here.

Is there too much talent in the NBA? It,,, hard to say. Some damn fine players are gonna get screwed come award season and we actually do give a frickin' heck about it. Who should be MVP? Who should be first team all NBA? Is it too early to make conclusions about this season? No, no it is not.

Coley is no longer recording through a tin can so you can actually listen to this episode with great pleasure. Borderline ASMR caliber episode of a thick Boston accent mixed with a heavy southern drawl. Much like the vast, vast majority of the initial 21+ episodes. It's 21+ because they're not all numbered. These are essentially Lil Wayne mixtapes from the mid-to-late-2000s, in case you were wondering. Also, this is the NBA Beef episode. Many beefs are aired out and sorted out, according to Tyler and Coley. You're welcome for bringing everyone a step closer to world peace.

They don't agree on every winner/MVP and yet they're still, somehow, correct about everything. That's what we in the business call radio magic, folks.
