Unfiltered, Unscripted, Unmissable — To The Baha Season One

With the first season of To The Baha wrapped up, all we can say is if this was just the warm-up, September’s about to get crazy! But before season two tips off, let’s walk back through what made year one so special. 

When To The Baha launched in late 2024, It was raw hoop talk straight from guys who’ve lived it. Current and former pros, insiders, and voices who don’t sugarcoat the game. Fast-forward to now, and season one has cemented To The Baha as one of the most authentic basketball shows in the culture.

This wasn’t just another NBA pod. It was where the game, the culture, and the locker-room energy collided.

Storylines That Defined the Season

  • The Phoenix Suns Rollercoaster
    From “are they being disrespected?” to locker-room tension, injuries, and KD questions, Phoenix became the unofficial soap opera of season one. And the hosts were relentless in pointing out what wasn’t adding up.



  • The Rise of OKC
    If mainstream media was slow to crown the Thunder, To The Baha wasn’t. From early calls about OKC being Finals-bound to debating Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP legitimacy, the show was ahead of the curve on the league’s fastest-rising team.


  • LeBron’s Legacy Moments
    Trade rumors, clapbacks at Stephen A., Bronny debates, LeBron was a recurring thread. Each time, the crew tackled it with both respect and jokes, embodying what makes To The Baha different: it’s not all stats, it’s culture.


  • Knicks Fever
    From pretender talk to shocking playoff wins, the Knicks had their share of spotlight moments. Few teams sparked more debate on the show, proving once again that love them or hate them, New York always drives conversation.

The Big Debates

Beyond weekly headlines, To The Baha leaned into timeless basketball questions that sparked comment-section wars. We reacted to more than just breaking news. We thrived on the kind of arguments that never really die. When the crew questioned whether Shai’s MVP was about voter fatigue or if Jokic belongs in the Top 10 all-time conversation, the comment sections lit up. Kyrie’s case as the best pure scorer in NBA history sparked a back-and-forth that felt more like a barbershop than a podcast studio. And when Donovan Mitchell’s ceiling as a franchise player came up? Fans weren’t shy about picking sides. These were cold takes and timeless debates that kept listeners coming back to see whose hill each host was willing to die on.

Culture Meets Basketball

Where To The Baha really separated itself was in the cultural crossovers. One of the season’s most viral moments wasn’t about a stat line or a box score, it was Theo and the crew cracking up at Anthony Edwards talking to President Obama “like a youngin,” a TikTok clip that pulled in over a million views. The show also wasn’t afraid to call out media drama, like when Stephen A. Smith went off the rails on LeBron and Bron fired back. And then there were the moments you’d never hear on ESPN: a front-row story of the DeMarcus Cousins fight, or the raw reaction to Tracy McGrady’s comments on Kobe. Those conversations showed why the show works. It’s basketball living in the same space as culture, comedy, and controversy.

Performance Wins

Where would we be without our To The Baha family who supported us from day one. Fans showed up heavy in season one, and the numbers back it up:

  • YouTube: 14.6M views, 179K+ watch hours, 18.2K new subscribers (19.7K total).



  • Instagram: 6,500 followers, with one post hitting 800K views (when the hosts revealed the most points ever scored on them and Charlie Villanueva’s 81 still stings).



  • TikTok: Nearly 10K followers, 6M views in the past year, and the Anthony Edwards/Obama clip doing 1M views on its own amongst many other viral clips.

That kind of traction shows the appetite for unfiltered NBA talk is only growing and the TTB community is growing strong.

What’s Next

Season one of To The Baha proved that fans want authentic debates that don’t feel scripted, and stories that only come from people who’ve actually been there.

Season two tips off this September, and if season one was the warm-up, the next chapter is about to be chaos: bigger debates, bolder takes, and more stories that you won’t hear anywhere else.

Basketball talk doesn’t get more real than this.
