Shooters Touch

Kayla has a great story. Her 8th grade year in Dunkerton, IA her Scholl didn't even have a varsity basketball team.

A team that has progressed from strictly Iowa State players to players from all over the Midwest.

Coach Schlabaugh has a wealth of basketball knowledge. It was great to talk to someone with so much passion for the game we love, especially during this time of uncertainty. As good as Dave is with X's and O's, we could tell very quickly that he would give the shirt off his back for anyone that needed it. It was a great conversation with a true hoop head and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Well, it's over. The documentary that America needed to get their sport fix has completed and we were thoroughly impressed. From the flu(🍕) game, to Jordans best sneaker years, to Rodman and the WCW, we review it all in our latest episode.

These 2 episodes did not disappoint! This was prime Bulls fandom for us, but it's still been awesome to see behind the scenes. We cover the "tyrant"(their words not ours) Michael Jordan, Scottie quitting on his team and the shoe game in it's prime! We hope you enjoy!

More MJ! We called for it after last week's episode and our calls were answered. Episodes 5 & 6 were all about Michael, good and bad. ESPN dove into what some consider the darker side of #23. His gambling habits and, his sometimes out of hand, competitive nature. His rivalry with The Knicks is mentioned, which BC and AV remember very well, and the Converse Weapon's are mentioned? Enjoy!

Dennis Rodman, The Worm, a rebounding machine. A lot of aspects of Dennis' life were covered in this episode of The Last Dance and we discuss all of them! How he got involved in basketball to how he became such a dominating rebounder. Enjoy!

It's finally here! The documentary that goes behind the scenes of one of, if not the, best teams to ever play in the NBA. From Pippen's contract problems to MJ making the transition from North Carolina to Chicago, this was exactly what we needed! We give you our thoughts and takeaways from the first 2 episodes.

A Cyclone fan for as long as he can remember, Brent Blum knows more about Iowa State than anyone we've ever talked to. He is also a huge fan of the NBA, where he really fell in love with it with his time working for the Orlando Magic. Our conversation with Brent includes his thoughts on the draft stock for AJ Green, Luka Garza and of course Tyrese Haliburton. Enjoy!

Kobe Bryant was a player many idolized. He was a basketball player, a family man and a businessman. While he touched the loves of many during his playing days, he was making an impact on many more when he was taken away. His legacy will live on, there's no doubt, but there will never be another Kobe.

The Air Max 90 was released 30 years ago!?!?! Even though it was a long time ago, it's still one of our favorite pair of shoes! Tons of colorways, tons of availability. Check out our thoughts on the latest #SneakPeek episode.

We sat down with Nick to give talk hoops and got his incredible story of perseverance and love of the game of basketball!

We hope you enjoy Nick's story as much as we do! #shootersshoot

Wartburg College Hall of Famer Jason Steege. Jason is the current Assistant Coach for the Men's Basketball team. In his playing days, Jason was the definition of a sharp shooter. He holds records for 3 pointers made and currently ranks 6th on Wartburg's all-time scoring list. Which obviously made him a natural fit on the Shooters Touch!
