The Mismatch - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is my favorite NBA pod, I was super sad when it went on hiatus. Chris Vernon brings an energy that strikes a good balance between knowledgeable and loud ranting antics. All the other pods are boring. The Mismatch isn’t.

Love me some Verno. This is the pod to listen to if you want to hear from someone who watches all the games, not just hot takes on the highlights and gossip.

Loved the mismatch for years and genuinely enjoy Vernon and liked Jacoby with Jalen. This far I have not enjoyed the two of them together. Way too heavy on trendy topics and way too light on basketball analysis. Too much talk about ideas to fix the nba cup or jersey talk or court talk. KOC and Vernon did some of that but the heart of the show was always basketball analysis. This feels more like barbershop talk than basketball analysis which is fine but not for me. Still gave 5 stars for the years of entertainment Verno provided me and will check back in periodically.

Best basketball pod right now. Super knowledgeable and they make it light and happy n funny… my go to nba pod from now till the wheels fall off!!

David Jacoby is way underrated his range of knowledge (food to sports) is unmatched!! Keep it goin ma man!! ✊🏽😁

I enjoyed the show with Verno and KOC, but it’s gone downhill from there. Not because I don’t enjoy Jacoby, he’s sweet. But Verno’s homerism is coming out in full force now, when he talks about Memphis, as well as when he talks about other teams that he thinks are getting the love Memphis deserves. KOC did a good job keeping him in check, but his takes are coming across way more as a fan than a broadcaster now. I guess he fits in though, since that is what half the ringer is about for Boston sports.
