Synopsis

Confederacy of Dunks is a basketball podcast. We are Freddie Rivas, Kevin Dowse, and our producer Matt Duncan. We talk NBA hoops, players, coaches, personalities, contracts, fans, arenas - every little detail of NBA life. We are also hardcore Raptors fans. It's a safe bet that you will hear us talk about the Raptors a fair bit. We also like jokes. It's a safe bet that you will hear us make several of those.
