In this week's episode of The Pickaxe Podcast, I am joined by BSN Denver's Harrison Wind (@NBAWind) and Mile High Sports' Dev Johnson (@DuvalierJohnson). We recorded this podcast immediately following the gold medal game between the US and Serbia. We discuss our attachment to this iteration of team USA, Jokic's breakout performance, and look ahead to 2020 in Tokyo.
