Ball is Bae NBA Podcast
Ball is Bae NBA Podcast is India's largest NBA podcast. Hosted by Ashwin and Vineet, the Podcast combines their love for the beautiful game with their need to voice an opinion, and talk about things no one talks about. Vineet is a huge Spurs fan, and Ashwin resents any word which rhymes with long term loyalty. They have both been caught on camera being wrong about their predictions, and right about calling each other out over the other's wrong prediction. Hosted on Acast.

I’m joined by my old friend Karan Madhok, who’s been following Indian basketball and is now a full-time writer. We kicked things off with some vintage Ball is Bae style—talking smack about LaMelo Ball, fantasy basketball trades, and how it feels watching guys younger than us run the league. Spoiler alert: I might’ve gone off about why LaMelo gets too much hype.
After some light roasting of the younger generation, we got into real NB...
