Man, such a sick Christmas Day! That oughta shut the NFL up!
Shout out to my guy Mikal Bridges! Brooklyn misses you man! 😢
I miss verno😊
Having two .500 teams be the main attraction for Xmas day games was atrocious. The NBA has told us Lebron and Steph are the only two players worth watching. So the other 20 top players and 30 teams aren’t worth your time. No wonder the NBA is losing viewers.
Tough spelling day for the thumbnail guy
Brunson didn't shoot well, but 9 assists, 7 boards, 1 TO. And running the offense as efficient as always.
The Disney game is for kids younger than 9 Jacoby, come on, it's probably like 7 and under maybe.
Richard Jefferson is the one big time commentator I will absolutely fast forward to the last min of the gm for cuz I can’t stand him. His coverage of the nba cup was atrocious.
love the mismatch, been there since day 1. love j&j since grantland. verno and jacoby, keep it up,you're doing great. might want to ask bill to install ac in jacoby's ofc so he doesn't sweat too much
Kuminga’s quote wasnt about playing time. It was about growing up in the Congo and the violence there
I’m with Verno on the foul thing. I believe there’s a conversation and understanding established ahead of time, and although that may sound odd, I don’t think it’s a conspiracy at all.
"Let 'em play" being told to the refs before the game doesn't take a big meeting.
The Diddy thing will be the end of lbj.
Verno is Benjamin Button
You can’t tell me Reggie Miller is great then say you don’t love Clyde. Cardinal sin smh
Lowkey…..lowest of keys…..the mismatch is better now.
That last bit was absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣
The only shame was that OKC was not playing on Christmas. Everybody and their momma new OKC would be the best in the West this year
Next pod let’s hear some Pistons and Rockets talk
Love you guys, love this show. I agree with Vern-O. So grateful. Thank you.
65million people watched the nfl christmas isnt your day anymore lebron
The ending of this show 🥹😂🤣😅😆🙈🙉
We also need to have discussion about the Warriors development program. Other than Poole who’s a shell of himself since the punch, who have they drafted and developed under the Kerr era into an actual starter??
I sympathise with Verno, thinking about losing this podcast after all those years… More than glad with Jacoby and he made this the best listen of all my NBA podcasts. Thank you both! Happy New Year!!!
☝️🤲🎁
Who is Starplayer110?
The imaginary friend take😂😂😂
I want to see her do well, but I don’t think Doris has enough personality for in game commentator
Jamal Furry? As if we haven’t dealt with enough this month.
Murray’s efficiency is the worst it’s been
I am a knicks fan and I refuse to watch any knicks game on the knicks broadcast.
No disrespect to KOC, but this pairing is top 5 in sports media
Ringer Jacoby is peak Jacoby. ESPN was holding you back.
Hopefully Gradey stays in the league for 18 years
Not the right time to support Beyoncé 😂😂
Verno looks like the woman who runs the independent bookstore near my house. 🤣
The show has never been better. Hope you guys and Jesse have a very happy holiday season and may next year be even better.
Thanks for holding it down for Arkansas Verno!
Verno is 1000% right they made sure the refs didnt ruin the flow of the games on xmas its absolutely plausible and moree than likely probable and to say it's a conspiracy take is irresponsible
This show is my favorite NBA show! Keep it up Gentlemen.
Verno upgraded here for sure! Podcast is better than ever. Love that you guys are adding in the clips too, really adds to the show.
This is my go to show for the NBA. Thankyou both for your efforts! It really brightens my day after listening to this pod!
I am truely amazed that this show can take a step up with the departure of KOC and the addition of Jacoby! Love your emotional take at the end Verno
This is the best the mismatch has ever been in my opinion.
The NFL is not a threat to the NBA . The real threat to the NBA is the actual product on the Court, too many boring games , and the fact that too many of the players come across as entitled brats – a few games on Xmas will not change those issues. It is fortunate that various media and streaming services are desperate for any content. it is sad that I would rather watch these guys , Bill Summons , et al then watch the actual games.
Great mf’n pod
Am I the only one who doesn’t like Jacoby as much as they thought they did?
Hope ya feeling better Jacoby.
Pairing these two together on the mismatch was a brilliant move.
