  • Nash’s MVP

    You guys know why Kobe didn’t get the mvp. When Jay asked “what did Kobe do that made him not getting the votes” you guys went silent! You guys know why?! But you guys don’t want to admitted because you guys are all in this basketball circle! You think the league going to crown a guy at the time have rape charges against him a mvp?!

  • Best basketball podcast, all around great podcast

    Have to agree. The NBA is super watered down now n days, sometimes unwatchable with these refs calling the game today and players flopping, looking for the foul and faking like they got hit.

    Keep up the good work with this podcast.

  • OP is a comedian!

    Can’t stop laughing, make OP a regular on the show! On the Kobe thing, he ain’t perfect, no one is on this earth. But you guys trying to make him like he’s perfect. Even Jordan not perfect, he has gambling problems. If you guys can’t take criticism on your boy Kobe, then don’t talk about it.
