About this listen

The Second Season Podcast provides an in-depth analysis and evaluation of basketball players, teams and organizations through the focused lens of winning at the highest levels of the sport.

Throughout the calendar year we will be discussing league trends, draft prospects, team-building philosophies, coaching strategy, salary cap mechanics and of course, the players on the hardwood. Culminating in a show that strives to understand what truly drives winning basketball at the highest level.

This podcast was founded on idea of wanting to not only analyze the complexities of professional basketball, but to also celebrate it. We believe that high-level basketball is a topical realm ripe for productive conversations that have the potential to significantly increase the enjoyment of the sport for all fans. From the casual to the ultra hardcore, we hope that you not only understand the game better, but more importantly, grow to appreciate its beautiful chaos in the process.

Hosted by Robin Jeffry and Jagger Ankney.

  • NBA Cup Finals!
    Dec 19 2025

    We go in-depth on the Spurs Knicks NBA Cup Championship Game. We start with a positive assessment of what (and who) went well for the Knicks; highlighting one of the best per minute offensive rebounding performances in NBA history from Mitchell Robinson, OG’s well-rounded offensive performance and how even when Brunson is not at his best, why he is so important to the Knicks offensive approach. We then discuss how the Spurs fell short, along with the plenty of signs of encouragement for a young team that is currently ahead of schedule. We finish with larger overviews of both teams, with a focus on where they could go from a personnel and tactical standpoint moving forward.

  • The Miami Heat and Offensive Innovation
    Dec 5 2025

    An in-depth analysis of the Miami Heat’s offense to start the 25-26 season. We go over exactly how this offense has punched so far above its talent weight-class, some of its potential influences, and how we believe this playstyle will fare against higher-end competition. We also explore a fun thought experiment that takes the concepts of the Miami Heat’s offense to a logical talent extreme.
