  • Unsubscribed

    Unsubscribed after years of listening due to Jacoby hating Vic. He wants to be petty I can as well. Verno you are the man

  • Awful

    Two miserable people using LeBrons name for clicks. Two impaired people who don’t know anything about the game. The ringer should delete this pod and these two hosts should be thrown into the circus. Sad and pathetic.
