Today, the hit basketball podcast The Old Man and The Three returns with new host and current NBA player Cameron “Cam” Johnson, the forward for the Denver Nuggets, who joins Tommy Alter.
Every Tuesday, Cam and Tommy will continue to provide insightful analysis of NBA games and major topics within NBA culture. They’ll dive into the mechanics of the sport, discussing skills, strategy, and execution from an active player’s perspective, to give basketball fans a deeper understanding of the game, while keeping it accessible for casual fans as well as “NBA sickos.”
Featured guests for the new season include teammates, opponents, former players, members of the NBA media, and other prominent athletes and cultural figures including Cam’s teammate and Denver Nuggets superstar forward, Aaron Gordon who will join Cam and Tommy for the premiere episode. As a first-time host, The Old Man and The Three is a new forum for Cam to engage with his fans and basketball lovers beyond the court, bringing his inside-the-locker-room point of view to the forefront.
Cam said, “Joining The Old Man and the Three as its new host is a huge honor. JJ, Tommy, and the entire team set the bar high. JJ’s perspective, curiosity, and the respect he earned across the league made this show what it is. To follow in those footsteps and bring my own voice to the table every Tuesday this season means a lot. I can’t wait to get started!”
In addition to the launch of the new The Old Man and The Three on Tuesdays, basketball fans can still tune into the weekly video podcast The Young Man and The Three with Tommy Alter every Thursday.
