It's week 2 of the new NBA season and the guys are back to discuss whether Joel Embiid is a fake tough guy, whether the Clippers are actually unbeatable, and whether Draymond will fake an injury before the end of November. Also, Shane reads the internet wrong and misinterprets a draft pick's lottery protections. This one gets weird. Get into it.
The NBA season is BACK and so is the #anklegang! We marvel at the Clippers, worry about the Lakers and rip apart the Celtics.

The offseason rolls along and we tackle the specifics of gambling odds, Kawhi's Nike lawsuit, women in the NBA and what exactly qualifies Dwight Howard's grin as shit-eating.
NBA Free Agency is the gift that keeps on giving. Just when you think it's over, we keep the hits coming and this week to delve into Kawhi Leonard luring PG13 from OKC to (the other) Los Angeles, Westbrook reuniting with his brodie and why the hell nobody likes Chris Paul. We'll be back next week when Bradley Beal gets traded for a pair of kitchen tongs and a Black & Mild, but until then, listen up and suport.
It's our Free Agency extravaganza and we break down all the odds and ends of the moratorium period and reckon with how shaken up the league has been over the last week. Big winners and even bigger losers. We also talk very, very briefly about some small player movement in New York City... Is Brooklyn in the house??? Without a doubt!!!

The NBA Finals are HERE! FINALLY! And we're talking about whether or not we're ready to change our predictions after Toronto's swarming defense gave the Warriors B-Players fits.

The conference finals are coming to a close and in this episode we lay out the selections for the All-NBA teams, the Warriors predictably disappointing sweep, the Bucks falling behind to Team Dinosaur and Drake being a master troll. Summer is coming! Get your ankles READY!!!!
Another playoff edition of Broken Ankles is in the books and this week we got into it about the Pels winning the Zion sweepstakes, the Knicks tanking for naught, Nick Nurse wasting a good Kyle Lowry game, Tyreke Evans' drug abuse, the Blazers trying their best, Joel Embiid being a crybaby and the Lakers taking sports clown shows to a new level. BREAK EM!
The conference finals matchups are almost set and we brush right past the Ayesha Curry nonsense and tackle what's really important: Seth Curry calling Will Barton "sassy", Serge gloating about his Steph Curry hot take, KD being the A.Rod to Steph's Jeter, the Warriors and the "disease of more", injury conspiracy theories, Jokic being able to take the Nuggets to the next level, and Kyrie Irving's complete lack of production in a gentleman's sweep.

We're gearing up the playoffs so today's episode was all (funny) business. Tune in for our discussions about the final playoff seedings, Jeff Bezos' interest in the Knicks, Ben Simmons not living up to expectations and Coach K being overracted. This was a silly one, #anklegang. BREAK INTO IT!!!!!
Back at it again with our LEBRON numbered podcast. In episode 23 we analyze the Bucks struggles with end-of-season injuries, Jusuf Nurkic inadvertently repping #brokenankles, recent jersey numbers getting retired, James Harden's universally hated style on the court, and balldontstop being the most foolish thing in basketball media. PLUS a Men's NCAA tourney recap. Strap up and whatnot!
We lost hilarious James Dolan rant from Serge right in the middle of this episode, but technical difficulties couldn't keep us from getting hyped on Baron Davis' spanx, the flimsiness of #knickstape, arena bannings, the absurdity of the Aussie accent, MVP's tiers and the secret black illuminati. This is a weird one. DOWNLOAD NOW! #anklegang
The boys are back in town with in depth discussion on Rondo's statistical ineptitude, LeBron passing MJ on the all-time scorer's list, longevity as a skill, Steph Curry designing a shoe for girls, and Adam Silver being the most revolutionary commisioner in American pro sports. We've been dealing with technical difficulties but we promise we'll be back and better than ever real soon. BREAK THOSE ANKLES!
Hey, hey, hey ya'll we're BACK! Twenty shows in the can and this one started serious before ending sillier than a pet coon. We begin with conspiracy theories for why Paul George didn't become a Laker, improbably NBA Finals matchups and the inspiring nature of big dunks. We ended with NBA legends who've strung themselves out on drugs, Trick Daddy's whereabouts and a query about vaseline. STRAP UP!!!!
Back at it again with another guest appearance up top, Shane and Serge got real silly this week about Big Baby's arrest, Tristan Thompson's infidelity, dumb arena names, GM School, Stephon Marbury's bad luck, Zion Williamson's shoe and which NBA player is Fredo from The Godfather. Let's lock in for that playoff stretch, #anklegang! Listen UP!
In episode 18 of Broken Ankles, Serge and Shane recap the All-Star break, compare Draymond Green to a future WWE Hall-Of-Famer, put modern usage rates into perspective, and completely rip the name "Pelicans" apart. We're back #anklegang. Strap in.
We had a GUEST this week! Our homie of almost 20 years sat in the studio with us to listen while we discussed the winners/losers of the crazy trade deadline, Danny Ainge's weird tweets, the failing of pro ballers who wear t-shirts under their jerseys, and whether it's necessary to bend your hat's brim. A true crossover episode and more jokes than the back of a 7th grade school bus. GET IT!
Aaaaaand we're sad! Well, Serge is anyway. Shane is delighted and this episode is almost exclusively centered on what everyone in the basketball world was talking about last week; the Knicks pulling a classic Knicks move and trading their only valuable asset in favor of cap space. It's hilarious. Listen up, laugh and then send Serge your condolences.
We're baaaaaack! After an unwelcome hiatus we're back with the first of two comeback episodes. In today's show we tackled Anthony Davis' trade request, Kyrie Irving's place among the elite, Giannis vs Luka, the Knicks being full tank mode, all-star starters being announced, the Brooklyn Nets taking their place among the East's elite, and a ton more. This one is supersized so brace those ankles and let's get it.
Hello again, #anklegang! In this week's episode we talk about the Nets renewing Shane's faith in basketball, Cleveland potentially losing their 1st rounder, Boston being an embarrassment of riches and KD being the most miserable success story in sports. We also try our best to get into podcast beef. #deeznutsdontlie and neither do we. Go ahead and download.
The first Broken Ankles of 2019 and is the lucky number 13th episode! We got into LeBron calling himself the goat, the confidence of successful men, Kobe's similarities with a former Bad Boy artist, James Harden gunning, the likelihood of Denver finishing 1st, and what the hell Smush Parker has been up to lately. We got weird on this one. Get into it with us in the new year #anklegang.
