Knicks Film School - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Jonathan Macri’s Knicks Film School podcasts and the KFS Newsletter are absolutely necessary content for any serious Knick fan. These dudes put in the work! I used to read all the Knick articles from the beat writers in the local papers to get my info. Maybe some Bleacher Report or NBA Hoops Hype here and there as well. Now, I just listen to Macri and his crack team of Knick and NBA experts. I don’t need anything else. Macri and his weekly partner Jeremy Cohen provide in-depth analysis for the prior week, project expectations for the coming week and break down every thing in between. I’ve been a stubborn fan for close to fifty years thinking I knew more about the Knicks than any dope podcaster looking for clicks and likes. Beyond just citing analytics and salary cap analysis, the two of these guys explain the details cogently and present how these details are significant (ie. The advantages/disadvantages of operating above or below the cap and how those details shed light on what their specific plans might be as a result - for the roster and potential free agents). They make detailed and complicated material easy and fun and I’ve learned a lot as a result. The producer Andrew Claudio ties it all together consistently and professionally. KFS has expanded to include other high-quality basketball minds that are excellent contributors as well. The group has great energy and chemistry. Macri is super-charismatic and invites each and everyone of us into his Knick world. Every fan opinion is important. I have playfully called him the “Jesus of Knick fans” - because he has taken on all of our pain and anger from so many years of suffering, and absorbs it all with uplifting smiles and compassion. He is the fan-analyst who is going to lead us to the promised land.

Macri is truly one of us!

I started listening to this pod about a year ago, when the Knicks season came to a grinding halt. Even though no games were being played Macri kept it interesting until the Knicks were back on the court. There is great analysis, excellent guests and the knowledge that like many of us, Macri lives and dies by this team. I especially enjoy the newly added post-game pods (especially after a win). If you love the Knicks, check this out.

Macri and the KFS team produce the best sports podcast out there!

The crew discusses all the important storylines, provides consistently well thought out takes, and always keeps it interesting with different format and segments. Better yet, the pod has so much character that you feel like you actually know the guys. I just wish my other teams had this good of coverage. @Andrew can you get a Mets/Jets pod going?

Thanks KFS

Between this pod and the daily KFS newsletter, it’s the best way to keep on top of Knicks news and deep analysis. You really start to feel you know Macri, Jeremy, GMAC, Benjy, Casual Crew, etc. Regular guests, like The Athletic’s Fred Katz and NY Post’s Ian Begley, take the show to the next level - Mitch
