  • Awesome.

    A masterpiece. I love every episode. A fitting sequel to “The Book of Basketball.” It got me through the pandemic, as I walked my dog for eight hours a day.

  • Almost excellent basketball knowledge.

    Jackie and her team do an excellent job of painting a picture of the important events in NBA history. It would have been 5 stars but she mentioned that Hakeem was an icon with only one team…cough,cough Raptors…cough

  • This pod is perfection.

    The Ringer is my single stop for all my favorite content and this series is wonderful! My only complaints are that there is no video to go along with it and that there aren’t more of them. Great job Ringer team!
