Customer Reviews
No better insight, period!
Jason, such a fantastic show. Love the analytics that back your takes. Your informative and such a joy to listen to - keep crushing!
My best podcast
I delved into basketball in 2021 and I’ve been on the journey with you since then. You’ve been doing a great job.
Good but could be better with a small shift
Jason clearly has great knowledge of basketball and the NBA - not questioning that. Also I know this show’s focus shifted from Lakers focus to more league wide, so I make this critique with that in mind.
This podcast’s content revolves around 5-6 teams generally, all of which are big markets regardless of their standing. Isn’t that what the major networks already do? Just feel like with Jason’s knowledge and insight this podcast could differentiate itself if it didn’t focus largely on the Lakers, Celtics, Warriors etc. There are some incredibly exciting “small market” teams too!
