  • Best NBA pod around

    There isn’t another NBA podcast that covers every team around the league with the regularity that Kevin does. The quality of his guests are also unmatched. I also love the occasional NFL segments. I get why people don’t but you can just skip them. Kevin is a great host and I learn a lot from them so much so that it makes me hope he starts adding even more sports in the years to come. Keep it up!

  • Love Him, But…

    Kevin is a great host, but I can’t in good conscience give him 5 stars. He does nfl stuff when it’s a basketball podcast, and just have one host man! Plus, he should invite players more often. Still, a great podcast.

  • Smart, but Shallow

    Kevin O’Connor clearly knows his stuff, and he can sound sharp and insightful. At least until the latest headline hijacks the show. His views often pivot with whatever’s breaking, leaving little room for context or deeper analysis. Entertaining in bursts, yes, but don’t expect the thoughtful discussion his tone promises.
