Sonoran Heat Check: Recent Episodes
Kris Smith
Kris Smith hosts one of the latest NBA podcasts on the block. Kris, like his mainstays Sam and Jacob, grew up in the absurdly arid and toasty basin (not a valley, sorry!) of Phoenix, Arizona. And given these desert roots, you can expect plenty of Phoenix Suns. Not a Suns fan? Well, funny enough, neither is Kris, which means there will be plenty of general NBA discussions to keep you entertained.
