  • Raj Fan
    Good Word ASG
    Thank you for the discussion with Bomani. Funny how LeBron and Draymond take heat for the ASG complaints yet Jokić, who truly makes a mockery of the game and is the reigning 3 out of 4 year MVP, gets away squeaky clean. Why doesn’t the media go after him? Also, you are too young to speak like an old man. Embrace the best ever skilled NBA. The league is much better played from the hoop to 40’ as opposed to from the basket to 22’ with overcrowding as in the 80s and 90s. Today’s game demands more skill compared to the no skill enforcers of yore. We don’t want finals games with scores in the 70s again.
  • PersianRugSlugger69
    Big Number Good, KOC show is very mid
    KOC’s show is pretty mid. His recent take with Butler is dumb and seems like the Heat is paying him and he doesn’t give much justification or details on his opinion. There are other better shows on here though so check those. Rated 3 out of 5 Persian Rugs.
  • Philly Iverson
    Good Word = great show
    I enjoyed the Good Word episode with Goodwill and Howard Beck. Nice work!
  • Avelatt
    1 Star Solely for Slander
    This review is based solely on terrible Derek Jeter slander. Love the show.
  • jrd603
    Celtics trust issues
    I can’t believe how wrong Tom haberstroh and Vince Goodwin were about the Celtics finals matchup with the mavs you guys cover basketball for a living
  • BK's Sho_PyN
    Crazy stuff
    There was an ad break in the middle of the intro of Devine intervention today right in the middle of “Jon Genaro count me in” aint even wanna listen to the episode anymore. Rough, Rough, Rough….. like a dogs barkin’
  • ADJNAMEDSLASH/
    Someone please get Nick James Wrong.
    Ayo Vince, What Up Doe? This guest is way beyond a sicko fan. Why does he constantly have Jordan’s name in his mouth? Lebron does not compare or match up to Jordan in his smoke and mirrors GOAT debate. Lebron choose to put himself up against that ghost in Chicago. When did losses and appearances make anyone great. Running to MIA and losing with Wade and Bosh twice. 3 votes away from being DPOY. Dude needs to be checked that he’s taking his meds. Lebron will never be Jordan. No matter how much the fake debate is mentioned. #Stop Thee Cap!

    Great pod
    Informative and entertaining, great job every episode!
  • lazknickfan
    Just Brutal
    This podcast should be listed as basketball adjacent or basketball revisionist history. The host takes recycled bad takes from 2 or 3 years ago and adds bad info to them. There is nothing new. It’s a lazy show. There are so many better places to get basketball information or interviews or frankly just better podcasts. Pass
  • CRUIZEJ
    Great NBA Podcast
    So glad that this podcast was brought back! The hosts do a great job at analyzing all the nba happenings and news and love the immediate podcast drop right after each finals game. Reminds me of Charles Robinson’s podcast after every Sunday night of the nfl season. Thanks for this podcast!!

    Great!
    I came for Vinny Goodwill and stayed for the quality basketball talk! Keep up the greatness, everyone!
  • Jessero83
    Wonderful pod
    Great insights
  • bwall05
    Just in time for the playoff run
    I would subscribe to either of these shows, so getting them on one feed is a no brainer. Like listening to your smartest friends talk about basketball with each other.
  • Wmohandisw
    New format
    Love the new shows and hosts!
  • Seanseafishes
    A must have pod for the ravenous Hoop fan
    Added to the list of can’t miss pods! Love Vincent's perspective and knowledge. Can’t get enough!

    Chris is a top tier reporter
    I always trust Chris’ takes because I knows it’s substantive and backed up by the conversations he’s had with people in the league. Hard to come by a nba podcast like that these days
  • Ole'School💨💨💨
    There was the NBA B4, there will be after
    I read an article today, and ur comment on Dr J’s answer to ur question on his all time teams was a weak attempt at drama, you asked the man a question, he gives his opinions w/explanation and you follow up with an article in defense of LeBron? I could be wrong here, but other than his rookie season LeBron (had no say, drafted) has been lobbying for teammates, and you stomping for LeBron, Shaq. & The Dream wasn’t on the list either. I’m Ole’ schl. with my basketball philosophy. #NBA over 1 said player, peace I’m out.

    How do you want to be remembered
    Great podcast about Kobe but the reason the woman received backlash is that people not even the woman on your podcast nor the tweeter want to be remembered at their worst
  • HH@23
    Fantastic

  • Nate Rumble
    Love it
    Great content
  • Gamerrr25635
    Good/bad
    The content is great and the guests are really good but I don’t understand why they need to play music in the background intermittently. It’s distracting and feels out of place.
  • choby99
    Great podcast!
    Chris really like the group and format of you all 3 talking about the league!
  • K Philly
    No More Eating
    I’ve only listened to the jimmy butler episode so I’m not sure if each episode is an interview over dinner. The second half of the episode, after the food arrives, is full of mouthy mushy sounds that are unbearable unless that sort of thing is your kink. Please never do dinner episodes ever again
  • Blondasian84
    Jimmy or KD #1 show
    Hey man Chris! Love your pod, loved the Jimmy episode, but KD my guy. Love you and your guys post game tho. Keeping it real. I listen to all the NBA pods...yours and CJ McCollum’s are my fave. Keep doin what you’re doin 👍🏽
  • TheBrownDHORIA
    Great interviews but low volume
    This podcast is a blast to listen to but sometimes I have to turn the volume all the way up
  • Gdynia she
    Haynes Brings Heart Start from the NBA

  • theflash2141
    Dope pod
    Chris does a good job of getting a certain amount of realness from his guests answers. They aren't just giving you the media filtered quotes. Keep it up.
