What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

(1) Been a listener since about 2016. (2) Your insight and analysis have made me love basketball even more. (3) my favorite life lesson from the pod is being curious over being certain. Thank you both for all the time, effort, energy, and lost opportunities you give up to make this great pod.

Steve Jackson 2 · Nov 2025

Enjoy the content, but dislike the delivery. Three long ad breaks for a 35 min episode is too much. Every time they actually get going they say “Let’s take a break here…” 8-9 minutes segments like am radio. So frustrating.

I feel this podcast really speaks to those who understand the game. If you play the game, you coach the game or you have a deep understanding of the game you’ll appreciate this podcast. I also like the video breakdowns that they produce on YouTube! Check them out if you have it.
