Chris & KOC are just a unique pair of basketball fans who just happen to talk about it twice a week! There’s not been a single episode over the years that hadn’t made me smile. Loved the live episode guys - it motivated me to finally write a review after listening to the show since 2016! Keep it up! Pete

These guys are a real hard listen, it’s like listening to two guys at the pub that have zero idea on the game and defo defo never played, mismatch though as a name is perfect..
