Hip Hop and Hoops - Week 1

Last week, I started working on a brand new show at The Wildcat 91.9 called Hip Hop and Hoops.  My co-host Jordan Swoyer and I analyze basketball and play some classic hip hop tracks.  It's an experiment we're trying out and I would love some feedback.

Here is the link to our very first episode: Week 1 - October 8, 2013.

Segment 1 - 6min30sec - With the acquisition of Dwight Howard, are the Rockets title contenders?
Segment 2 - 19 min50sec - Will the Lakers and Celtics struggle?  If so, is that bad for basketball?
Segment 3 - 37min45sec - After the trade with the Celtics, are the Nets now title contenders?
Segment 4 - 51min8sec - Which offseason acquisition will make a bigger impact in the Eastern Conference, Josh Smith or Andrew Bynum?

We will be on-air every Tuesday night at 10 p.m.  You can listen to the show at wildcat919.com.  I will try to keep posting our episodes up on here in case you miss any of them.
