Ep. 083: Our Elie Seckbach Exclusive!
Don’t tell Bobby Jackson he looks like Flava Flav. Duly noted.
The Basketball Jones — Episode 083 (.mp3)
On today’s show, Tas and I are joined by NBA reporter Elie Seckbach to discuss his recent YouTube fame; what the players and journalists think of his unique interviewing style; his opinions on FreeDarko’s roundtable discussion about him; and much, much more…
Oh, all that, and we talk injured superstars, Garnett’s ten-thousand and buying NBA jerseys.

You know who else kinda looks like Flava Flav? Jeff McInnis. Anyone else think so?
Elie was great to listen to… where can we see his clips?
For all of Elie’s YouTube videos, click here.
His website has a hilarious slang dictionary.
Elie sounds like Jocko…
That was a great piece with Elie — nice job.
[…] Elie Seckbach on The Basketball Jones I don’t have a personal MP3 player, and despite my geekiness, I don’t listen to podcasts. Until I saw this. Elie Seckbach is the guy who did the Mo Evans home interview I posted in the Pistons forum a week or so ago. He’s hilarious. WHY DON’T WE HAVE GUYS LIKE THIS IN DETROIT? YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

You couldn’t have welcomed Elie with a heartfelt ’shalom’? Have I taught you two nothing?
[…] On Monday, Elie was a guest on The Basketball Jones podcast, discussing his newfound fame, how players and other reporters perceive him and how covering the NBA differs from some of his more serious assignments. If you’re a fan of his videos, I strongly suggest you give it a listen. […]
Ahh gotta love that Pat Burke chat. The NBA’s biggest joke knows how to make fun of himself. Awesome.
MattO, there once was a young man named Ben Iscoe who taught me many Jewish formalities, including Shalom.
Great job, guys. Elie was cool, though he is incredibly awkward; even with you guys.
Also, I hadn’t heard the podcast in a bit. This daily routine is definitely sharpening up your already formidable skills. Bravo.
Appreciate the kind words Jamie.
once again the feed is getting blocked at my workplace…thanks for nothing!
i’ll listen at home.
How did you get a hold of him? that was so cool. outstanding interview.
[…] My favorite part about Elie Seckbach’s latest YouTube video is the complete and total randomness of it all. The “NBA’s embedded correspondent” starts off telling us how the Suns refuse to let their recent success go to their heads, only to immediately follow that statement with Diaw talking about Israeli fans, Amare flipping through a tabloid mag, and Kurt Thomas learning Hebrew. And that’s just the first 30 seconds! […]
