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!!!
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!
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
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
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.
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??
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.
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.
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.
Cause it's true. Currently they don't have guaranteed bankable stars to hand keys too. Edwards and Morant are great but they don't have the entire country raptured. This first time in NBA history there isn't an immediate replacement for the previous superstars. I'm talking about since George Mikan in the 50s. Even during the dark days of the 70s when race was the major issue there were stars that were bankable to everyone. There are a lot of reasons for this but I'm not writing a term paper. Lmao
You do realize that Lakers Warriors game had record number of viewers right? Lets stay in reality now. the viewerships says the "people" think those are the only two players worth watching.
The NBA made you watch the Lakers/Warriors game? No. People chose to watch that game and based on the ratings of all the Xmas day games, the FANS decided that Lebron and Curry were the players they wanted to watch most.

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
The show has never been better. Hope you guys and Jesse have a very happy holiday season and may next year be even better.
Ringer Jacoby is peak Jacoby. ESPN was holding you back.
This show is my favorite NBA show! Keep it up Gentlemen.
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
Verno is Benjamin Button
I don't know if hes aging backwards.
Maybe a Highlander?
Verno looks like the woman who runs the independent bookstore near my house. 🤣
Brunson didn't shoot well, but 9 assists, 7 boards, 1 TO. And running the offense as efficient as always.
No disrespect to KOC, but this pairing is top 5 in sports media
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
Hopefully Gradey stays in the league for 18 years
Kuminga’s quote wasnt about playing time. It was about growing up in the Congo and the violence there
The ending of this show 🥹😂🤣😅😆🙈🙉
Jamal Furry? As if we haven’t dealt with enough this month.
That last bit was absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣
Next pod let’s hear some Pistons and Rockets talk
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.
Yeah it’s not the basketball gods having clandestine meetings, it’s Adam Silver telling the refs tighten up
"Let 'em play" being told to the refs before the game doesn't take a big meeting.
This is the best the mismatch has ever been in my opinion.
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??
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 him. He can laugh at himself
Love you guys, love this show. I agree with Vern-O. So grateful. Thank you.
Thanks for holding it down for Arkansas Verno!
The Diddy thing will be the end of lbj.
Man, such a sick Christmas Day! That oughta shut the NFL up!
Shout out to my guy Mikal Bridges! Brooklyn misses you man! 😢
Its been a rocky start but he's been cooking this month, keep the change 🙂↔️
65million people watched the nfl. Nba didn't shut anyone up
@@codythomssen9337and never will. I'm team NBA. It's my favorite sport. But the NFL is different it's so much bigger than just a sport
@xavierjohnson4496 very true, I was just responding to what LeBron said. Both can coexist
@codythomssen9337 I feel you
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
You can’t tell me Reggie Miller is great then say you don’t love Clyde. Cardinal sin smh
Tough spelling day for the thumbnail guy
Murray’s efficiency is the worst it’s been
Great mf’n pod
I want to see her do well, but I don’t think Doris has enough personality for in game commentator
Lowkey…..lowest of keys…..the mismatch is better now.
I miss verno😊
Do you mean KOC?
I am a knicks fan and I refuse to watch any knicks game on the knicks broadcast.
Who is Starplayer110?
65million people watched the nfl christmas isnt your day anymore lebron
The Disney game is for kids younger than 9 Jacoby, come on, it's probably like 7 and under maybe.
The imaginary friend take😂😂😂

Ba-humbug. It was a good game, people tune in for stars. Sorry facts hurt ya.
This was the best day of basketball in years and you’re complaining.
