Fun different view on the NBA. No one cares about the 65 game rule except the egomaniacal journalists with a vote. Regular people want players to play 65 games minimum. Stop talking about it
15 minutes of straight whining about tanking? Not a whiff of analysis, reporting, or insight. Tanking is a problem, and everyone knows that. Who is your rant for? A real shame, and takes away from the work you all do every day. But has become too common on this show, which is full of smart people. You are experts. Be experts!
The comedy NBA crossover hypotheticals with Joe Zimmerman were hilarious and 100% spot on. Great pod
Instant Classic podcast! I enjoy the subject and the content! The outline of the podcast keeps the show fresh and engaging.
Yes! Glad the trio is back! Funniest sports pod out there. Update: Do you believe? is back too!!!

Notable is the willingness to challenge traditional narratives and to explore the intersection of sports, media, and business, making it a potentially compelling listen for marketers and sponsors seeking deep basketball insight and candid, humor-infused analysis.
