Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 37 ratings
  • Great show but enough Kobe chat

    Great show but Kobe is not top 3, borderline top 10. One of the hosts can’t help talking about Kobe every episode, nba has 30 teams, time to start watching more than lakers highlights from 2002

  • Great stuff

    Very refreshing podcast because it’s not entirely based on monetary wins / losses. Adam and Russell seem like good blokes and their love for cards shines through.
