Cody and Aqib are not replaceable as co-hosts. Their IQ on the game is superb. They break it down well. Skip also loves to have Aqib on the couch. Great cast with supreme chemistry. another great show today. For underdog, do right by both shows please. Both shows bring their own excitement and the fans love it. You can’t find a nick young and Gil duo anywhere else.

This definitely becoming one of my favorite YouTube sports shows. Great player insight, along with coach. Feels like a normal conversation nothing forced. Healthy amount of banter back and forth.hate home or love him. Skip really does tie everything together. The rest of the crew will benefit and learn so much from man. 21 savage Talib will be next to break out in this space.
