Customer Reviews
Great Pod
Love coach and that he is able to competently talk about all the teams and most of the players. Doesn’t just say “oh this player is good, that player is bad” but is able to say what they are good at and what they are bad at.
I wish their default wasn’t always “this guy should play less games” “Wiggins looks athletic because he didn’t play for 2 months maybe more players should do that” is not a good take.
All Billionaires are bad none of them are smart don’t let them off the hook. We don’t need them.
More of Henry & David pls
When Henry & David are on together it’s the best nba show out there. Jarod is great as a host to keep the show organized and move things along when needed; I think asking him to carry half the discussion detracts from the quality
Love it
Love this show and the insight from all three.
Definitely a positive to have Coach Thorpe on any show. I look forward to any podcast he is on.
