Issue #2: Matt & Stak draft top 5 white basketball players

Welcome back to The Smoke Signal 💨, the official newsletter of All The Smoke. Each issue we share key highlights from our shows, exclusive behind the scenes info, basketball news, and more.

First off, huge thanks to the Knuckleheads — Quentin Richardson and D-Miles — for coming on the show and talking playoff ball with us. Those guys are among the first to go from playing in the NBA to hosting a podcast. Honestly, an inspiration for us to get going on this show. It’s a good time to be an NBA fan, with the playoffs really heating up, and it was nice to get their takes on the current series and where the game is at right now.

In other news, the WNBA kicked off their season this week, and they’re already doing numbers. Ticket demand is higher than ever, they got private jets now, and television views are setting records. Friend of the pod, A’ja Wilson, dropped 30 to start the season in an opening night W. During the off season, she talked to us about not only being an elite ball player but a leader and mentor in the space too. Nice to see she’s already firing this season. You can check out our episode with A’ja here.
