Customer Reviews
Good but Windhorst ego a bit much
I like this podcast but sometimes there’s too much of Windhorst ego and he talks over people and interrupts them, which is not a great listen. Lots of good guests and info and I like the interplay with him, Bontemps, & McMahon
So-so
Very little structure or agenda to this podcast. Some decent basketball insights but Windhorst isn’t made for the host’s chair and there are no fun or creative segments. Fine to have on in the background but not something I get excited to listen to.
Live to hate on the Lakers
Hilarious to see how Bontemps’ gets all worked up every time the lakers get mentioned. They’re never going to say anything objective about the Lakers let alone be positive about them and so I stopped listening to them.
