Thinking Basketball

Ben Taylor built a reputation for looking at basketball differently — not just what happened, but why, and what it actually means for player value. Each episode tends to pick one question and answer it rigorously: the case for a specific player, why a defensive scheme works, what the data says about a widely held belief.

It's one of the few NBA podcasts that regularly makes you change your mind. Taylor does real film work, cites actual research, and isn't interested in takes — just honest analysis of a genuinely complex sport.
