    Love this show !
    KOC is great but Jacoby has been my favorite since J&J . Good pick Verno
  • JDDave
    Verno is a joke
    Verno is a joke with his OKC takes. Jealous, vindictive, and insecure for sure with no substance or analysis. The podcast is fine but now I just really don’t like Verno as a person. Thumbs down.
  • KingPoetGray
    Nah
    Latest episode was decent till this Jacoby guy starts bagging on Russ, better without him in the building? What a cheap shot. Wannabe shock jock.

    New co host
    Jacoby trying to hard and his takes are takes just because . Vernon is and always has been the star of the podcast . Get rid of Jacoby and get Zach Lowe !
  • johnnyroyal55
    Jacoby!
    This podcast is so much better with Jacoby. Kevin was whiny and sanctimonious and good riddance to him.

    Just Sports Radio
    If typical sports radio is your thing, the new duo is for you. It’s just hot takes and speculation, more like a watered down First Take style show now. That has its place but it’s not for me. Gave it 4 because it’s a solid production and doesn’t deserve a low rating.

    Mismatch 2025 best.year.ever.
    Love me some Verno. This is the pod to listen to if you want to hear from someone who watches all the games, not just hot takes on the highlights and gossip.

    Go Jacoby!
    KOC was nice and will be missed. DJ is a solid replacement! Fan since the beginning of J&J.
  • JB-island
    JACOBY
    It was a bummer to see KOC leave, but adding Jacoby is an absolute home run. Looking forward to another season of the MisMatch

    And We’re Back
    This is my favorite NBA pod, I was super sad when it went on hiatus. Chris Vernon brings an energy that strikes a good balance between knowledgeable and loud ranting antics. All the other pods are boring. The Mismatch isn’t.

    Best NBA Podcast
    Favorite Podcast because of Verno and his shooting down of KOC and his crazy talk. LOL, KOC leaving the Ringer for Yahoo sports is like retiring from the NBA to join the GLeague.
  • it was all dream
    Jacoby for the win
    I was a once in a while mismatch fan below. Enjoyed Kevin and Verno, but the new talk to me dirty era is here!!! Jacoby addition I’m going to be listening all the time! I missed hearing him in the radio and hearing hot takes about NBA culture
  • Seel1998
    Thank god KOC is gone!
    Updating my review to five stars now that the show is continuing without KOC
  • jimmy-jamm
    Give Jacoby his own pod!
    Put Verno, Austin and Logan on here and rename it dumpster fire. I loved KOC but refused to listen to this pod because of Verno’s bad takes. Every episode is just another excuse for him to talk about Ja and the Grizzlies.
  • TayTay90254
    Jocoby works great here
    Kevin was always too careful and trying to be Zach “Mr. Robot” Lowe. Jacoby is great on this program. He gets excited. He’s ok with saying something that could be super wrong. He doesnt say “improvement isn’t linear” every 5 minutes.

    8 year fan
    It was hard to figure out how to comment as I am hammered at 2 am. I’m proud to say I listened to every mismatch for 8 years with koc and Vernon and it is the best podcast running. I’ve always been a Vernon guy. Very cultural and non statistical. Momentum believer and contrarian to nerds. Never forget when koc said the Kathi raptors should blow it up before the 2019 title. Hilarious the drafting of Zach Eden will be the end. If only you waited one more year for a Rudy Hobert to Memphis fa signing. Seriously man I’m proud to say I listened to these two honorable guys that talk hoops better then anyone especially those on tv. I’m sadly a bulls fan born in 96 who only saw Jordan on the wizards lol. Anyway whatever Chris Vernon does I will be a supporter and congrats on having a tremendous career. I hope Zach Eden can get playoff minutes and the grizzlies will have the ability to extend Jaren Jackson jr on that sub max deal. Good thing it wasn’t Marvin barley at 4. Much love

    Jacoby
    I never leave comments but David Jacoby moved me to say that he would be perfect on this pod. They just gotta figure out how to bicker, which they will.
  • JNF98
    Jacoby!
    Huge upgrade from KOC to Jacoby. Please make him a regular host
  • Chris Penn (Sterns)
    It’s so hard to say goodbye
    To yesterdaaaaaayyyeeee … How do I say goodbye to what we had? The good times that made us laugh Outweigh the bad … I thought we'd get to see forever But forever's gone away It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday … I don't know where this road Is going to lead All I know is where we've been And what we've been through … And if we get to see tomorrow I hope it's worth all the wait It's hard to say goodbye to yesterday … And I'll take with me the memories To be my sunshine after the rain It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday … And I'll take with me the memories To be my sunshine after the rain It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
  • J Lorne
    Finally
    Good luck to Kevin at Yahoo but The Ringer is better off. Lazy analysis, and as a social media presence somehow is always following/promoting the weirdest right wing nonsense. Keep it moving
  • lo es que es
    Usually a terrific pod, but…
    The supposed humor that Verno thought was funny, was not. Calling Kevin anti-American, a communist, etc. That’s all we need to hear in these days of turmoil, awful lies, and fascist rants toward so many regular, everyday Americans. I guess I am also in Kevin’s camp because I did like to see the South Sudanese do well with what they have lived through and the fact that their coach, Royal Ivey, had to pay for all of there practices elsewhere ( no indoor courts in there whole country, hotels, equipment, etc). I also pull for small countries from the democracies of the Caribbean Islands, Ukraine, Costa Rica, etc. Many of these countries have never won a medal and it would mean so much to their people. But almost always pull for our country.

    Why the Clippers hate Chris 😐
    “Nobody cares about the Clippers.” Tell that to the new arena that seats 18,000. Mr. Chris “Mad TV Neuman” would rather watch the Kings and Hornets on national TV. The negativity and hot takes are quite overdone.

    Mismatch
    U guys are the best hope they keep you guys together for a very long time very good show and very entertaining
  • OriginalCP3
    Thanks
    You guys are great together.
  • Pretoqueimado
    Too hard to do 2 podcast a week?
    It’s supposed to be 2 podcast a week. They have a hard time doing that consistently. It’s hard to rely on a show that takes podcast days off.
  • Hoosierdaddy34
    The Best
    The perfect balance of informative and entertaining. Great pod fellas.
  • Vnzla81
    Used to be a good podcast
    This podcast was good a couple of years ago now Kevin O’musk fanboy uses a whole hour to push whatever nonsense agenda he got, they don’t talk about basketball anymore but rumors and nonsense, disappointing, this thing got like a year or two left max 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
  • Buttfunforever
    Disappointed
    Only Vernon could go out of his way to say something negative about Doris Burke instead taking the opportunity to acknowledge her making history
  • Ritmonegro
    The Mismatch
    Thoroughly enjoyable and informative pod. The chemistry between KOC and Verno brings great energy!
  • JCVD93
    Kevin O'Insufferable
    KOC used to be one of the better basketball analysts online but in recent years has built his own narratives and sets out to prove those narratives to be true, regardless of what's happening on the court. Cherry picks what stats and games he wants to talk about and complete ignores any stat, eye test, or final score that proves him wrong (and there is almost always something to prove him wrong).
  • ajflight3
    Very good hoops pod
    The Mismatch is definitely the most consistently good basketball podcast out right now. I wish Bill had KOC and Verno more on his pods because I admire the energy of the Mismatch. Very funny and a good listen everytime.
  • macadamia12
    Awesome NBA analysis!
    Been a long time listener and was on the fence actually with these guys but their chemistry has grown and it’s really worth the listen. KOC is such an excellent and brilliant analyst, it’s always great to hear his breakdowns. Verno can ramble a bit at times but his old school thoughts do have merit. Give them a shot! Keep it up guys! BLOW IT UP
  • Xaviermella
    👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
    Best combo in NBA podcasts
  • dykeyyyy
    Outstanding
    Just two hours of basketball bliss a week….
  • baller3852825
    Fire
    Even though KOC is a Trae young hater🔥
  • N8Watkins
    Love these guys
    I enjoy their banter, emotion, and insight. I look forward to their podcasts every week..
  • Durham PG
    Scabs
    Never heard KOC say anything insightful or even interesting. Get this union-busting Zach Lowe wannabe outta here.
  • Fryyyed Ryyyyce
    KOC = Klown
    KOC sounds like an absolute clown justifying the Spurs losing with Sochan running point to teach Wemby how to lose.
  • Ghrjdjbejakcjhlwkxjifpajf
    Awful
    Chris Vernon might be the worst in sports podcasting and that’s some bad company
  • Donovan NBA Fan
    Give these men a raise.
    This show puts me in a better mood usually.
  • chris tampa
    The reisendorfs
    As a life long bulls fan since 01 it is a nightmare to be a fan of this team. I purposefully have not watched a bulls game for 2+ years 5+ million fans. 3rd biggest market yet never any interest in competing or winning. Just money. F the reisendorfs
  • fdoconnorii
    Excellent nba show
    These guys are entertaining and informative on nba, despite demonstrable recorded evidence they are losers.
  • beaverns
    Great Duo
    I think they have phenomenal chemistry. Great takes and Verno helps KOC stay grounded and vice versa. Great Pod!!
  • cal32288
    Lost Me
    Still entertained by Verno… KOC used to be too nice about everything but then listened to the comments too much and is way too hard and extreme that he comes across as petty. I don’t have time for that.
  • ColJJGod
    Everything is great except for
    That’s true, That might be true, That’s Ridiculous is not an interesting game. Only outrageous things or obvious things fit into that’s true or that’s ridiculous. And almost anything worth discussing will fall into That Might Be True. Making it just boring or not revealing. Everything else is great.
  • ThatGuyWithTheHair
    Meh
    I used to be a big fan but KOC isn’t the analyst or man I thought he was. Verno still cool with me
  • LennyLuv87
    Embarrassment to sports
    Chris is a moron. He doesn’t play sports and just has wild claims! Typical journalist that doesn’t have experience hands-on.
  • childplease34
    This is so bad
    These two are absolute morons. The wolves didn’t make the playoffs last year? Watch one game that’s not Celtics or grizzlies.
