Author: iHeartPodcasts and The Volume April 13, 2026 Duration: 1:10:26

We’re back with Season 4, Episode 46 of Club 520, where Jeff Teague, DJ Wells, and B Hen are joined by Charlie Villanueva, where he talks about playing at UConn and developing a relationship with current head coach Danny Hurley. Charlie also talks about being drafted to the Toronto Raptors and being on the court when Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant had his 81-point night. Charlie and Jeff debate who is the better shooting guard between James Harden and Dwyane Wade, as well as whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder or Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs should win MVP. The guys make their picks for the upcoming NBA playoffs, and whether the OKC Thunder will repeat as NBA champions.

The Club 520 Podcast feels less like a formal show and more like you’re pulling up a chair at the table with three friends who happen to have the best stories. Hosted by NBA All-Star Jeff Teague, whose own viral tales from his playing days set the tone, this is a weekly hangout with his longtime buddies DJ Wells and Bishop B Henn. The conversation naturally flows from the inside track of professional basketball-the locker room dynamics, the road trips, the personalities that define the league-to the wider world of sports and culture that everyone is talking about. What you’ll hear is unfiltered, often hilarious, and grounded in a real camaraderie that makes the laughs genuine. It’s that specific blend of sports insight, comedy, and casual conversation that has made this podcast a breakout hit. Produced by iHeartPodcasts and The Volume, new episodes drop weekly. You can find them by searching for Club 520 wherever you get your podcasts.
