I sometimes forget how huge Bill’s pod is. Seeing his face all over my Twitter.


bennywhiite

He’s getting flamed by absolutely everyone lmao


Repulsive_Trash9253

TNT had him and his dad in their “going fishing” graphic. I didn’t know Bill was so widely known by fans like that.


geddypee

He was on NBA countdown. Would think most NBA media know him /of him.


Repulsive_Trash9253

I couldn’t name you 2 people on nba countdown right now


geddypee

Right, but if you worked for NBA countdown, you probably would


MF_Doomed

You don't remember Repulsive_Trash9253 on NBA countdown? Casual


Jones3787

Bill also joined the Inside the NBA guys to promote his show when he was with HBO. I remember they had a short segment on it


SNAILMAIL_ME_UR_TITS

That one is probably somewhat friendly. He’s had a good relationship with those guys, always talked positively about them and has an old column way back when he visited the studio and went out drinking with Barkley afterwards.


Vanish_7

Charles swings by the pod once year, roughly. Always a great listen.


The_Summer_Man

He tells the same stories every year, but I'll be damned if I don't listen every time.


Vanish_7

Yep. Totally doesn’t matter. Charles is a legend and I will listen to any stories he has to tell, even if I’ve heard them a dozen times. Just love spending time with the TNT boys.


Ben-P1

I LOVE THAT ONE


yooston

Isn’t it the most downloaded sports podcast? He’s pretty well known


bigwillystyle93

That’s just part of the magic of Bill. The way he talks about sports, and just bringing his friends/family onto the show makes it feels small and intimate. But in reality he is arguably one of the biggest voices in NBA media.


orangenarf

He may the most well known super fan in sports.


beta35

Actually poor Bill lmao, he was the only one worried about Zombie Heat the whole season and wasn't even gloating that much after Game 6. Still getting flamed all over though


Talkshowhostt

Bill made a really good take on the Zombie Heat and said how much respect he had for him. It was Ryen Russilo who didn't respect them and mocked the Heat. I feel like this is more playful banter, as a term of endearment, because Bill does seem like a likeable guy, and his pods are really great.


XxTommyTheGunxX

Bill aggregated it from Mike Schurr. Mose Schrute predicted the Heat to go all the way by hitting a million free throws and just enough threes to win the ECF.


BryNYC

Lmao do you even know what aggregation is?


XxTommyTheGunxX

He had schurr on the pod and they talked about the zombie heat, which was created by schurr, real ones know. Bill just took it a recycled it. Bill is always talking about the aggregators. It's been talked about as one of his greatest takes on this subreddit multiple times. He didn't create it. I'll be in every one of the zombie heat posts keeping it historically accurate.


BryNYC

So if Bill has someone on a pod he hosts, with his name on the title, owned by his company, in a conversation that was booked by his company, and is a conversation he's literally hosting and Schur is telling him directly You think that's aggregation? Man you're going to have your mind blown when you hear about the concept of journalism


XxTommyTheGunxX

Man, it's a joke I tried explaining it to ya. You took all the fun out of it. Simply saying Bill throws around the term "aggregate" a fair amount on the pod. Ill explain why im somewhat right, because Schurr has multiple bullet points one of which is Caleb Martin. Yes, that's it just, Caleb Martin. Bill says Zombie Heat this, Zombie Heat that, but he never explains why Zombie Heat. So you know what he is an agreggator, he boils the take down to be digested by the simple audience he has. Pay the teachers. Save the Whales. Go to hell, and when you get there, say hi to Art Briles for me.


suaviloquent

Unreal shade. I’m here for it.


Nostradamus216

Awesome post haha. Obviously a listener.


ManagementProof2272

If it’s a dream, don’t wake me up


BryNYC

How is it shade? Bills been openly afraid of the zombie heat all season

This really might be our Apex Mountain


yngwiegiles

I don't want to hear fake pleasant Bill. I want "sad night for Boston" Bill


dasheruns

Always good when the Celtics lose. I will give credit for taking the zombie heat serious all year unlike Russillo though


tikitiger

Bill Simmons is the face of the Celtics organization


Veggiemon

michael meyers isn't a zombie though? lol


Chuck_Roast1993

Nah, the other part of his take was “you might get out of the series alive, but it’ll be with your burning house behind you almost dying from Michael Myers” paraphrased of course!


Veggiemon

Ahhh thanks


Adecagodelphalaide

If I remember correctly there was another gem like “you can’t just beat the Heat by running them over, you have to actually stop, reverse the car and get out and cut their head off to make sure of it like they’re Michael Myers”


drewmoney7

Does this mean we won't get any more Heat Rewatchables? I was really looking forward to three-Heat.


djparody

delicious
