Description
BvL - an Asian American hosted sports podcast where weekend warriors Jack and JC shoot the breeze when they're not shooting hoops - think of it as a sideline symposium - the kinda chit chat you get when you're on the sidelines waiting for your next run. We talk sports, family, culture, trends, news - we talk about Life.

Ep. 99: Hilarity ensues for the 99th BvL episode where friend of the pod Steve joins the guys to talk about Disneyland during pride and grade nite - needless to say the pod was pure chaos. As a diehard and true Kings fan, Steve also breaks down his honest feelings about the season as well as what the future may hold for his current squad. One away from a historic 100th -geez.

Ep. 92: Here we are! What almost seemed improbable when we started this podcast many years ago when the Golden State Warriors lost to the Toronto Raptors and the super team disbanded (Ahem KD left) as well as Klay suffering 2 catastrophic injuries, well as KG said "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!". The Golden State Warriors are the 2022 NBA Champions with Stephen Curry being named the Finals MVP. JC reflect on the journey to the chip and the ups and downs. What has this all meant to him and all the diehard Warrior fans out there? Enjoying the shine and getting to the top of the mountain is all part of the journey for a fan. From the Lakers winning the 2020 NBA championship to now in 2022 the dubs claiming their hardware, this podcast has come full circle. WHAT A JOURNEY!

Ep. 91: AUDIO Issue warning- Jack and JC would like to apologize as the audio on JC's mic cut out about 37 minutes into this episode. The rest of the episode only features Jack's responses. We thank you for the continued support and will work to resolve this issue for future episodes. Much love. For this episode we discuss how badly JC is on pins and needles throughout this grueling NBA finals. Can his heart take more? Maybe it can if Steph continues his Hurcalean/Legendary performance by single handedly winning game 4 with dropping a 40 piece. With the series tied 2-2 now and it is only the best of 3 it's a sprint to the finish. Join us on that sprint.

Ep. 90: Has it come full circle for this podcast? Your boys, JC and Jack started the Ball VS Life in 2019 with the Warriors advancing to the Finals against the Raptors, but after a devastating KD achilles tear in Game 5 of the series the Raptors seized control and the KLAW was crowned the champ. Then came more bad news the next 2 years as Klay suffered back to back potential career ending injuries sending JC into a spiral of sadness. Fast forward to 2022 and the DUBS are back in business and in the FINALS! What a journey it has been. Tune in as JC and Jack break down the Western conference semis as well as the Eastern conference semis and what to look forward to one of the most exciting finals to date. Legacy and lore is on the line! Let's recap what the last couple years has meant for JC and this podcast.

Ep. 89: Was the Memphis Grizzlies versus the Golden State Warriors one of the spiciest series of all time? Is this a Gen Z generation that knows no boundaries vs the OG Millenniels generation? Who is the past, the present, and who is the future? JC and Jack discuss all the heat and smoldering fire from a hot and contested series that the Warriors pulled out of to advance to the Western conference finals where a future legend in Luka Doncic is waiting after dismantling another cursed Chris Paul of the Pheonix Suns playoff series.

Of course how can we not cover the SLAP heard around the world. You simply can't script the wild night at the Oscar's or can you? With all that said we end the podcast with talking about how the Lakers and Warriors are getting Will Smith'ed.

Ep. 85: We dem BVL boys and we are back to talk shop. On slate for this episode we breakdown Jack's clutch recommendation to JC of "Jeen-yuhs" (the Kanye West doc) on Netflix. It's an unexpected throwback and walk down hip-hop memory lane. Of course we had to go from Jeen-yuhs to Jeen-duds in updating the current state of the Lakers and Warriors as they are the 2 biggest struggling teams in the NBA that matched up with each other and it took a superhuman effort of 37 yr old Lebron James dropping 56 big ones to pull off a win. Let us soak in our current misery in hopes of better days to come.

Ep. 84: Well well well, to the victor goes the spoils and LA is about them SPOILS. The Rams spoiled the niners chances and let the real AD stand up as Aaron Donald, Stafford, and Coop Kupp and da boys come up clutch with the game winning drive and game winning sack to seal the deal with the ALL-IN season. JC begrudgingly congratulates the Rams and Jack does brings that Buffer level hype. We also talk about the Super Bowl halftime show as the theme of this year's super bowl is all about nostalgia with that Cali LOVE. Of course we end the episode talking shop about all the NBA trade deadline drama as we break down the blockbuster trade between BKN and Philly. Also WTH are the Kangz doing?

Ep. 83: 2021 brought us an epic Bay Vs LA matchup of the Dodgers VS the Giants in the MLB playoffs. 2022 has not disappointed in bringing another Bay VS LA matchup with the stakes equally as high as the LA Rams and the SF Niners clash in the NFC Championship game to see who gets to punch their ticket to the super bowl. The game was epic and went down the wire. In this episode JC and Jack react and discuss the fallout of the Rams edging out the Niners in what has been one of the greatest NFL playoffs ever seen. We also discuss a surprise NBA All-star starter this year in Andrew Wiggins who is repping the Bay along with Steph Curry. Who was snubbed? Does Wiggins deserve it?

Ep. 81: Happy New Year! Happy 2022! The BvL bros, Jack and JC, took a holiday break just as health and safety protocols have ravaged the NBA by storm, but we are BACK in action as we have cleared our own protocols. We catch up with talking about our old man approach to the holidays and New Year's eve as well as break down where the Warriors and Lakers are through another COVID catastrophe season of the NBA. With the Warriors still at the top of the standings and the Lakers at the opposite of the end of the spectrum barely holding water can the Lakers, Warriors, and the friggin NBA get through this season to the promise land? We shall see... as the imminent return of Klay Thompson is just around the corner.
