KOC’s show is pretty bad. Updated to one star as of May ‘25. His recent take with Butler is dumb and seems like the Heat is paying him and he doesn’t give much justification or details on his opinion. His recent rant in May 2025 on Butler is just as bad and unsubstantiated as the Warriors crushed with Jimmy and Steph together. There are other better shows on here though so check those. Rated 1 out of 5 Persian Rugs.

Thank you for the discussion with Bomani. Funny how LeBron and Draymond take heat for the ASG complaints yet Jokić, who truly makes a mockery of the game and is the reigning 3 out of 4 year MVP, gets away squeaky clean. Why doesn’t the media go after him? Also, you are too young to speak like an old man. Embrace the best ever skilled NBA. The league is much better played from the hoop to 40’ as opposed to from the basket to 22’ with overcrowding as in the 80s and 90s. Today’s game demands more skill compared to the no skill enforcers of yore. We don’t want finals games with scores in the 70s again.

I enjoyed the Good Word episode with Goodwill and Howard Beck. Nice work!

This review is based solely on terrible Derek Jeter slander. Love the show.

I can’t believe how wrong Tom haberstroh and Vince Goodwin were about the Celtics finals matchup with the mavs you guys cover basketball for a living

There was an ad break in the middle of the intro of Devine intervention today right in the middle of “Jon Genaro count me in” aint even wanna listen to the episode anymore. Rough, Rough, Rough….. like a dogs barkin’

Ayo Vince, What Up Doe? This guest is way beyond a sicko fan. Why does he constantly have Jordan’s name in his mouth? Lebron does not compare or match up to Jordan in his smoke and mirrors GOAT debate. Lebron choose to put himself up against that ghost in Chicago. When did losses and appearances make anyone great. Running to MIA and losing with Wade and Bosh twice. 3 votes away from being DPOY. Dude needs to be checked that he’s taking his meds. Lebron will never be Jordan. No matter how much the fake debate is mentioned. #Stop Thee Cap!

Informative and entertaining, great job every episode!

This podcast should be listed as basketball adjacent or basketball revisionist history. The host takes recycled bad takes from 2 or 3 years ago and adds bad info to them. There is nothing new. It’s a lazy show. There are so many better places to get basketball information or interviews or frankly just better podcasts. Pass

So glad that this podcast was brought back! The hosts do a great job at analyzing all the nba happenings and news and love the immediate podcast drop right after each finals game. Reminds me of Charles Robinson’s podcast after every Sunday night of the nfl season. Thanks for this podcast!!

Entertaining, good basketball junkie talk.

Just listed to my 2nd one w/ VG, fantastic. Got to know him via Bomani's p'cast. Long friendship with Jason G. makes for a funny and provocative conversation! Great chemistry. Keep him in the rotation.

Awesome

Dan Devine, doo-doo, doo-doo Dan Devine, doo-doo, doo-doo Dan Devine, doo-doo, doo-doo Dan Devine Dan Devine, doo-doo, doo-doo Dan Devine, doo-doo, doo-doo Dan Devine, doo-doo, doo-doo Dan Devine

I came for Vinny Goodwill and stayed for the quality basketball talk! Keep up the greatness, everyone!

Great insights

I would subscribe to either of these shows, so getting them on one feed is a no brainer. Like listening to your smartest friends talk about basketball with each other.

Love the new shows and hosts!

Added to the list of can’t miss pods! Love Vincent's perspective and knowledge. Can’t get enough!

I always trust Chris’ takes because I knows it’s substantive and backed up by the conversations he’s had with people in the league. Hard to come by a nba podcast like that these days

I read an article today, and ur comment on Dr J’s answer to ur question on his all time teams was a weak attempt at drama, you asked the man a question, he gives his opinions w/explanation and you follow up with an article in defense of LeBron? I could be wrong here, but other than his rookie season LeBron (had no say, drafted) has been lobbying for teammates, and you stomping for LeBron, Shaq. & The Dream wasn’t on the list either. I’m Ole’ schl. with my basketball philosophy. #NBA over 1 said player, peace I’m out.

Top tier podcast

Love it the format voices cover humor etc

Great podcast about Kobe but the reason the woman received backlash is that people not even the woman on your podcast nor the tweeter want to be remembered at their worst

What a podcast should be! Entertaining and informative. Keep the episodes coming.

Great podcast 5 stars

Love your come up Mr. Haynes. Amazing sit downs w/ players. Solid co-hosts also. Keep it up!

Great content

The content is great and the guests are really good but I don’t understand why they need to play music in the background intermittently. It’s distracting and feels out of place.

Chris really like the group and format of you all 3 talking about the league!

I’ve only listened to the jimmy butler episode so I’m not sure if each episode is an interview over dinner. The second half of the episode, after the food arrives, is full of mouthy mushy sounds that are unbearable unless that sort of thing is your kink. Please never do dinner episodes ever again

Hey man Chris! Love your pod, loved the Jimmy episode, but KD my guy. Love you and your guys post game tho. Keeping it real. I listen to all the NBA pods...yours and CJ McCollum’s are my fave. Keep doin what you’re doin 👍🏽

This podcast is a blast to listen to but sometimes I have to turn the volume all the way up

A lot of interviews don’t show the real in players but Haynes brings it out makes you relate to the players and respect the craft that is Basketball more!

I really like this podcast because it’s really awesome and great one .. I highly recommend it for everyone

This podcast is so great. It makes sense to listen.

Chris does a good job of getting a certain amount of realness from his guests answers. They aren't just giving you the media filtered quotes. Keep it up.

This Podcast is finna be lit! It’s dope.

This is going to be a great show can’t wait for the future episodes.

🔥🔥🔥

Yo keep doing your thing Chris!! This is what we need. You have the trust and respect of the players and you continue to give us the inside scoop of the NBA. Can’t wait to listen five days a week( If it’s not we need a pod 5 days a week?).

U the best Chris

finally

I am so happy Chris Haynes has a podcast! His knowledge, opinions, interview style and close relationship with the players is the best. His laugh is so genuine and infectious. Can’t wait to listen!! I loved & miss the podcast with Marc Spears & Amin so I am happy he started another one!!

How do u not give Chris Haynes 5 stars and he the blackest reporter I know so I have to support
