Even though I’m a true blue Tar Heel, this is by far the best podcast by a Blue Devil. I’m a basketball fan that not only loves the entertainment aspect of the game but I’m also a student of the game….and JJ Redick is a must-listen to Professor!
Lumbertontarheel · Feb 2024
Best NBA pod in the business, in my opinion. Tommy and JJ ask insightful questions and provide a great platform for all of their guests to share their experiences. Entertaining enough for a casual fan, but they can get deep into it too. Keep it up y’all!

If you love the NBA, and you love the nerdy lingo. This the podcast. These guys talk shop as if they are sitting in the room with their peers and no one else is listening.
This is great for the NBA. It has brought the game even more to life for me.
jjb22560 · Feb 2023
Hot take, but I feel this is the best basketball podcast around. JJ not only knows the game from many angles but knows how to facilitate insightful conversation with all his guests. Keep it up, OM3.

Would be a fantastic pod (5star) without the profanity. My kids love basketball and wish they could listen but the language is the deterrent. The f bombs, etc. add zero value. It’s unfortunate.
MWags81 · Mar 2024
I enjoy getting to know the off court side of players and things like breaking down how to attack certain defenses but there is far much more to not like about this show. First off it’s not kid friendly. The amount of unnecessary cursing by JJ himself is just crazy and is only getting worse. Second, it seems like JJ will only ask a question to tell a story about himself. Third, the drafts they have are unbearable to listen to. Not entertaining in the slightest.
