Hoop(ish) isn’t another basketball podcast. Rather than debate about the X’s and O’s or bore you with hot takes, Hoop(ish) is a pod dedicated entirely to the culture of the game. Hosted by the cool kids at SLAM—LeagueFits visionary Ian Pierno and SLAM editor Deyscha “Sway” Smith—every week, we’ll keep it real about basketball fashion, pop culture, the internet and hoops (duh). We’ll also bring on special guests, from stylists to hoopers, influencers, creatives and more. Nothing is off limits, either.
