PointsBet Studio has launched its latest original show, called ‘Count It,’ a basketball-focused program that will give listeners top analysis, betting tips and the biggest stories from the NBA. The show will be hosted by Kazeem Famuyide and will air four times a week on YouTube.
Famuyide is a former creative writer and producer for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and is also a writer for Bleacher Report’s Facebook Watch Series. He is a mainstay on-air talent for the MSG Networks.
‘Kaz’, as he is known, will take a deep dive into the daily storylines impacting the NBA and college basketball, providing expert insight with top betting tips for games. He will chat with a host of celebrity guests about the state of US basketball.
PointsBet USA SVP of Content Liam Roecklein commented: “Kaz brings a dynamic, unlike any other analyst out there, providing an injection of energy and a unique perspective on the NBA and college basketball as well as unmatched insights into picks of the day.
“Our Lightning Bets feature for both the NBA and college basketball is second to none, allowing users to bet on every play, basket, and rebound, making this a perfect time to launch the new show, and we're thrilled to have Kaz at the helm."
‘Count It’ will be the third original program created by PointsBet Studio, joining ‘The Straight Line’ hosted by former NFL quarterback, Ryan Leaf and ‘Stoppage Time with Ian Joy,’ which is PointsBet’s soccer-focused production.
Famuyide said: “It is a privilege to be joining an innovative and forward-thinking organization like PointsBet as they continue to build out their impressive content portfolio.
"Being able to talk about the sport I'm so passionate about with incredible guests and to do so against the backdrop of sports betting is next to none. I look forward to diving right in at the halfway point of the NBA season and prepping for March Madness."
