The new Mismatch is one of THE best basketball podcasts

I like the new Mismatch a lot.

Both Vernon and Jacoby have that right energy of getting worked up about small potatoes shit (and in the end basketball is small potatoes) in a fun way. You can tell theyre having fun.

A clear antitode to the Stephen A Smiths of the world who seem to be personally aggrieved in the most predictable and performative way about absolutely everything not bc that’s who he is but bc that’s what market research says makes for good ratings.

There might actually be a good correlation between the rise of a the Stephen A Smiths and the downfall of democracy. I’m not joking.

Old Mismatch did not work. Bill has it in his head that “mismatches work for podcasts. It just does. Worked for Harry Met Sally! It’s the Harry Met Sally rule!”

There’s a difference between two people different and two people complementing each other. And in the end it’s all about chemistry, and Jacoby and Vernon have chemistry
