A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This show isn’t for fans of hot take machines nor stat nerds. Jason knows basketball but he presents his vast knowledge in a way that’s relatable and engaging.

Eddy_the_attorney · Jul 2025

I really enjoy listening to Jason talk about basketball. His breakdowns are second to none and I feel like he is very fair with his assessments. I like how technical and specific he gets while also keeping the conversation fun and relatable. Good work Jason, keep it up! I’m a huge fan! Go Wolves!!

FinesseNationSeason · Apr 2025

Such a refreshingly analytical podcast that deviates from all the opinionists in podcasts and the media in general that are usually just redundant. Jason’s level of insight and clearly analytical view of the game break down the NBA in a way that nobody else is doing right now in my opinion, and brings a lot of depth and context to a game that most basketball fans could really benefit from to appreciate the game more. Keep up the great work Jason!

Kent_ZL · Apr 2025

One of the only ones that combine experience, statistics and gameplay to provide us with insights. Keep it up Jason. This is my 3rd season consistently listening to your takes.

Love the show. Especially the NBA playoff series breakdowns. I’d give 5 stars if it wasn’t for this: the constant spam “you might like this” episodes of other random podcast that are getting bundled and sent to me. I recently unsubscribed Colin Cowherds podcast cause I was so fed up with all the other spam shows that kept being sent constantly under his show. Please fight back on this practice. It’s so annoying. When I subscribe to your show. I only want to subscribe to your show. I will unsub if this continues but will continue to follow you elsewhere.
