He then takes us back through each series of the Thunder’s Finals run against the Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Indiana Pacers. He also shares his favorite moments from the Thunder’s parade and celebrations, as well as his thoughts on the trades and signings of the NBA offseason.

There’s a unique clarity that comes from hearing the game broken down by someone who’s living it, and that’s the pulse of The Old Man and the Three. With NBA veteran and Denver Nuggets forward Cam Johnson now joining Tommy Alter as host, each episode delves into the nuances that define basketball at the highest level. This isn’t just recap; it’s a conversation about strategy, the evolving trends of the league, and the cultural moments that resonate beyond the box score. Listeners get a direct line to a current player’s perspective, which transforms analysis into something more immediate and grounded. The dynamic between Johnson and Alter creates a space where insider knowledge meets thoughtful commentary, whether they’re unpacking a recent game or conducting an exclusive interview with a guest from within the sport’s inner circle. This podcast, produced by ThreeFourTwo Productions and Wondery, carries forward its legacy of authentic basketball discourse while offering a fresh voice. For those who follow the league closely, it feels like sitting in on a candid, insightful talk between people who truly know the craft. And yes, the companion show isn’t disappearing-the entire setup is built to give fans a richer, more layered understanding of the sport they love.
