The Mismatch

Love the addition of Jacoby. He’s great at managing the flow of the show and has great chemistry with Verno. I’m glad we no longer have to hear about KOC’s music concert tours. Also don’t miss KOC’s squeaky voice. Everyone he got excited it sounded like he was in puberty again.

Always liked the show but with the addition of Jacoby I LOVE the show now. The chemistry is off the charts great. And love that Jacoby brings more of an everyday fan viewpoint to things. It’s a must listen twice a week. The amount of time I lol is crazy. GIANT upgrade from you know who (everyone can now admit how cringe he really was at times).

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!! ✊🏽😁

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.

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.
