NBA ALCHEMY |Summer Smack|

totally cool with you making whatever vids publicly available

23:00 through 26:00 is a gem. Moments like this gives me personally so much more value out of your podcasts then just basketball, especially with James, which I love . The break down of activity vs productivity was amazing. Really opened my eyes to some habits I have of going so hard at something for extended periods of time when it's better to do it in bursts or periodically. Similar to working out. Don't know why I've never taken that concept and spread it to other things in my life but that segment opened my eyes to that. Came back and listen to this part several times. Great work.

This comment slipped by me... that’s an interesting idea! That’s something that should easily be implemented. Thanks

Athletic Alchemy

Got a WCS piece I’m finishing up. But yeah... I got a good pod planned this week!

Athletic Alchemy

Appreciate it Nathan! Im going to release some of the heavy edits around training camp to catch a buzz going into the season.

Athletic Alchemy

We finally get confirmation that the Twitter Doctors, Ric Bucher, Kendrick Perkin, and ESPN were caught spreading some bullshit with the KD injury situation. You love to see it.

William Mitchell

Can't wait to heard your takes on the KD interview with Chris Haynes and Kendrick Perkins response,

SunniDaZambi

My man. When you do a heavily edited video like the Curry one or the rookie one. ABSOLUTELY PUT IT ON YOUTUBE. If you want to give Patreons a benefit just give us a week or two to see it before you post it. Then leave some of the live stuff and pods and that kinda stuff to Patreons. Most Patrons are in it to support you so seeing more of the "you" of the show is more important I think. Keep killing it brutha.

Nathan Glanzer

You should release the "special" content here first, then put it on YouTube a week later.

Thomas Ogas

I will definitely have a season preview, was just waiting until closer to camp. But maybe I can break it off into different subjects. That would allow me to go deeper. Thanks Max

Athletic Alchemy

Alch - totally cool that you ask! Go for it if it can help. We already got the value!

Dan Doerge

Alch, I'm supporting you for the content, if putting it on YouTube helps to grow your audience I'm all for it.

John Z

In terms of future stuff, I'd love you to expand on your D-Lo topic you touched on and map out how you see the Dubs working defensively this season. Will it matter that we have weaker perimeter defense? Will Loon, Dray and WCS be able to deal with more penetration? Is the Jacob Evans the only option we have to guard elite SFs until Klay gets back?

I have no problem with you getting your product to as many people as you can. I keep my BGC subscription through the summer out of respect for the content you put out during the season. In fact, I'd have no problem with all your work being available as podcasts - much more convenient way for me to get access.

Use a promo bro ur good, go for it

Daniel Bazikian

For all I care, feel free going on YouTube for promo

David Lenzini

haha I like it not all badges should be good!

Athletic Alchemy

In the regular season I do....I had mentioned how important WCS will be. we need rim protection behind them so they can guard the 3 point line aggressively. Paschall has the attributes to protect the paint some, so does Smiley...will see.

Athletic Alchemy

Thanks!

Athletic Alchemy

Good point.. even remaining healthy, this team is going to play different. Dlo is going to take the ball out of his hands just by nature.

Athletic Alchemy

Draymonds smart. He knows his body is going to be taxed this year with Klay out the beginning of the season and Iggy gone. He knows that he’s has a higher risk of injury this year then any other NBA season. Let’s say he held out until the end of season to get a max and gets a major injury. There isn’t a single team in the NBA would pay him.

Jason Williams

Promote it on YouTube! Video was dope. Gotta share it Plus, Patreon members already got an early showing! Give it to us a little early, then let the world in on it. Haha

Kyle Walker

Yes yes yes … put the Steph on YouTube. As Paul says … "Your success is our happiness."

Use Steph video for promotion. A revised and longer version would be even better. The series and the concept has potential, especially if it is a hot take. Maybe LBJ can have a badge of traveling..haha

Tai Jan Huang

Talking about D’angelo defense thing, how important do you think backcourt defense is now seeing as the lakers and clippers are probably the top 2 contenders and their backcourts aren’t huge offensive threats? Obviously there’s still the rockets, trailblazers and jazz and all that but do you think Steph and D’angelo offense can outweigh their lack of D?

Kurtis Forge

Straight fire as usual

Teo

Hmm... I auto balanced It, looked to be all around -12 to -6 dB. The connection through zoom does some sort of weird noise gate or background gate during the call. But facetime won’t let me use a sound board. When I use Audio hijack to try to record in better quality it mutes his end live.... I may just have to abandon the live sound board for better quality. Or buys some specific hardware.

Athletic Alchemy

I tend to listen to these on the bus on my way to work and busses can get quite noisy. James' voice on this one was really low compared to yours and I had a hard time listening. I know you've had audio issues before if you need any help hit me up, I might be able to help. Loved the pod and shout out James, he a real one.

Ezra Abbey

Put it on YouTube alc! Your success is our happiness!

Paul Byun

facts

Tony Stark

I dont mind you posting the zion and steph videos on youtube, a few days apart each other, or whenever zion hype rises again, like post the pods too on youtube just to have content flowing on it.

Tony Stark

Post it to Youtube more power to you. I'd still subscribe just to support the channel even if everything was on youtube

I think posting that vid on YouTube would be cool. Anytime you can broaden your audience and reach more people it’s a good thing.

Definitely promote on YT with the Patreon content.

e40

No doubt you were right.. but to make it sound like it was obvious is wrong.

Athletic Alchemy

Y'all are analyzing Draymond's deal too much lol. Paralysis by analysis. Draymond ain't complicated. I told y'all way back when and y'all didn't believe me. I said Draymond was gonna take a discount. Draymond is about 1 thing and 1 thing only: winning. Can you imagine GSW going thru another year of contract drama and noise and tension that KD put us thru year after year? No way Draymond was gonna make the team go thru that. People gotta understand that Draymond views this as HIS team. It's not Curry's team or Lacob's team. It's his. Bc he's the heart and soul. He wants to win at all costs.

That’s dope! What position? My boy told me the trick is to wait until game time and buy one as the game is starting.

Athletic Alchemy

Always love the pods with James. I’m attending University of San Francisco and playing baseball this fall and am really looking forward to getting out to the Bay Area and maybe even attending some warriors games at the chase center if I can afford the tickets😂

Edward Zeng

appreciate the feedback

Athletic Alchemy

IDK...everybody is making a fuss about how Dlo is so PnR centric. Do we want another guard that wants to play out of it as well? If Kerr changes it up and its a major part of what we do, than yeah it could work. But I dont see them dropping Alfonzo for Lin. I believe thats the only way.

Athletic Alchemy

I wouldn't be upset. I think it's a video that could give you some more exposure if it gets some numbers. Great pod always has me entertained.

KendrickTheCreative

Hey alch, after watching the recent video by bballbreakdown about jeremy lin, I was suddenly curious... what do you feel about jeremy lin as a minimum contract pickup for the dubs?

Yeah I like that! well put!

Athletic Alchemy

So basically Warren sap and Rudy have AntiGravity like how steph has gravity to pull in Warren makes u run the other way.

John

I liked how this one came out. I apologize for the sound quality, I have a fix on the way for these via phone.

Athletic Alchemy

i love these pods, i always save these to listen to my podcasts when im in the car idk if thats just me
