NBA: Former Teammates Carlos Boozer, Nate Robinson Launch Sports Illustrated Podcast

| Posted on |

With Richard Deitsch leaving Sports Illustrated for The Athletic, the old-school sports media giant is left short on quality shows in their podcasting department. Luckily, the big dogs over at SI prepared for Deitsch’s exile and released an exciting new show to drum up listeners and attention — #HOLDAT with former Chicago Bulls’ teammates Carlos Boozer and Nate Robinson.

Per the #HOLDAT bio:

Former NBA teammates (and current best friends) Carlos Boozer and Nate Robinson are teaming up for a brand-new podcast called HOLDAT, which analyzes the league from a player’s perspective both on and off the floor. Boozer (a two-time All-Star) and Robinson (a former Slam Dunk Contest winner) played more than 23 years combined in the NBA and dish priceless stories from their time in the league, ranging from on-the-court confrontations to card games on the team plane. With a unique angle on the NBA and an abundance of anecdotes and relationships to draw from, Boozer and Robinson promise to be as much fun in audio form as they were on the hardwood.

While the show came out about a month ago, I only found out about it recently through the actual print SI magazine. The first episode was released on February 21st, with several episodes coming since. As of now, Boozer and Robinson are operating on a one-episode-per-week basis.

The podcast, which gives listeners a unique perspective on behind-the-scenes NBA action, holds a five-star rating on iTunes across 137 reviews.

Boozer and Robinson were teammates on the 2012-13 Chicago Bulls, a team that made a decent run in the postseason. Both guys had double-digit scoring averages in 12-13 (Boozer, 16.2 ppg; Robinson, 13.1 ppg) and played in all 12 playoff games. The unit, which was without Derrick Rose all season, fell to Miami in the Eastern Conference Semifinals (1-4).

Boozer last played in the NBA in 2014-15 with the Los Angeles Lakers while Robinson last played with the New Orleans Pelicans in 2015-16.
