The Ringer NBA Show - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Of all the pods, Wos, Rob and Justin are by far the best. They’re funny, informative and entertaining. Love their dynamic and can’t help laughing every time I listen. Thank you for smart analysis and a great listen.

Amazing last episode of the season with Steph Curry; Raja and Logan are a terrific duo. We got so many good stories and insights about last season, it felt like I was having a conversation with Steph.
Thanks chaps!

When are they getting their own feed?!?!

The October 19, 2023 episode was one of the best basketball podcast episodes I’ve heard. Their insight in leadership was so complex and well articulated. Leadership is a topic I value dearly and sports is the most important forum to understand and develop it in our society -especially since war has been monetized.

Mostly just speaking about Group Chat here because they’re the ones I listen to most. But their show is a very very good mix of knowledge, humor, and personality/chemistry. Love Just Rob and Wos!

I’ve followed the NBA Ringer podcast feed since its inception, but the past couple years it’s fallen off a cliff in terms of quality and nuance. The hosts seem wildly unprepared and have no insights that I can’t glean for myself by watching highlights, reading box scores and following NBA Twitter - which is all I think that they actually do. Is it that hard for them to watch the games in totality? Or talk to beat reporters or their sources on teams before they give their opinions/takes? I don’t get the impression that these guys, especially Group Chat, love the game either. If anything they seem like they resent having to watch the vast majority of the league, especially Justin Verrier, who I don’t think likes any player, team or coach. And on top of being unprepared and overly negative, they just spout the same groupthink that I see on Reddit and Twitter. How many times do I have to listen to J Kyle Mann, Tyler Parker and Seerat Sohi wax poetic about the Thunder and Wemby? And Howard Beck? I don’t know what kind of spell he’s put on y’all but he’s boring and wholly unoriginal. Bill Simmons revolutionized the industry and love him or hate him (which I toggle back and forth with), you can’t say he doesn’t watch the games or has unique insights. I wish that would trickle down to this feed. In the past there was a solid mix of intel, analysis and entertainment and also general positivity that Ringer NBA hosts had. Of course there was some haterade too. Now it’s all haterade or CJs for obvious young players. What else do you guys do? I’m not sticking around anymore to find out.
