Joining us is special guest host and close friend Lee (aka Sadderdaylee) to moderate and hit us with all your questions. From the potential WNBA lockout and how fans might react, to Marvel’s Secret Wars & Doom, to Mavericks over/unders, f...

The fellas return post-All-Star break with a loaded episode covering everything from Stud Budz to Summer League stars. We kick things off with a full WNBA All-Star Weekend recap , including the viral 72-hour Stud Budz stream , Napheesa Collier’s MVP performance, and standout moments on and off the court. From there, we dive into mid-season awards : MVP, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved, and the A...

The boys are back with an episode recorded during the 2nd round of the 2025 NBA Draft with special guest: Willylaw, writer and creator of The Scout . He joins us to break down his process for evaluating prospects, the philosophy behind his tiered big board, and his thoughts on what really went down on draft night. From surprises like Egor Demin and Chaz Lanier to real-time reactions as Johni Broom...

The guys are back to preview game 7! The Pacers refuse to go home. We break down Indiana’s dominant Game 6, how Chet got cooked, and why the basketball gods might’ve bailed Adam Silver out. The defense was nasty, TJ McConnell turned into a demon, and yes — we’re making Game 7 predictions. Then it’s trade season. Desmond Bane is headed to Orlando, Memphis stacks picks, and CJ has... complicated fee...

The Finals are finally here — and the crew’s got takes. From Haliburton’s PG ranking to the Paul George butterfly effect, we dive deep into Indiana vs. OKC and what it all means. Official predictions are locked in, Myles Turner propaganda is flying, and somehow... Tobias Harris gets a response off? Then things get messy. The Knicks fire Thibs, Mikal Bridges drama resurfaces, and we try to make sen...

The boys are back with reactions to an instant classic in the Garden and a wild week of playoff hoops. From surprise wins to signature moments, nobody’s safe—not even the MVP voters. There’s WNBA talk, bold predictions, and plenty of side quests, including trivia, fake ads, and of course some Postgame Popcorn. Playoff pressure, polar bears in Arlington, and whatever the Jared McCain stream was — i...

Robi, CJ, and Eddie pull up to unpack the wildest NBA Draft Lottery in years — Dallas, San Antonio, and Philly go top 3 (yes, the podcast name finally makes sense). Robi gloats, CJ wins, and Eddie breathes again as the guys break down Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, VJ Edgecombe, and what each pick means for their squads. Then it's onto the playoffs: the Knicks take Game 4 , Tatum gets...

The crew kicks things off with a Mother's Day shoutout before diving into all the second-round NBA action — from the Knicks going up 2-0, to OKC's taking care of business versus Denver, to the Wolves-Warriors series getting spicy. But they don’t stop there — it’s a full-court buffet. Robi brings a literal belt, the WNBA Top 25 list sparks debate, and the guys reflect on Popovich stepping d...

The guys kick things off with the brutal Dame injury and what it means for Milwaukee’s future before diving into a full slate of playoff chaos — from Brunson’s late-game takeover to the Wolves’ surge and the Celtics quietly cooking. But it doesn’t stop there — the crew gives OKC their flowers, sends Miami packing (RIP Bozo), checks in on WNBA training camps, and discusses Chennedy Carter’s controv...

Eddie, CJ, and Robi welcome you to the first official episode of the Top 3 Protected Podcast! After introductions, the guys dive straight into every single NBA Playoff Series currently going on, from overreactions to Jamal Murray's shirt choice.
