Empty the Bench

Major props and sincere congrats are due for the hard-working gentlemen behind The Basketball Jones, which for the benefit of the uninitiated is, by far, your planet’s best and most entertaining podcast about NBA hoops. Somehow they find the time to do it 5 days a week (subscribe to it on iTunes), and last Friday celebrated their 500th episode by blowing it out to a live performance at Toronto’s Drake Hotel. Looked to have been quite the silly affair, as you’ll see in the video below. They also debuted their hot new tees.

In addition to his daily duties behind the TBJ desk, Steve Nash look-alike J.E. Skeets (whom you should follow on Twitter) is at the helm of Ball Don’t Lie, a very fine NBA blog and longtime supporter of your friends here at ETB.

Congrats, guys, and here’s to 500(,000) more.
