Episodes

All-Franchise Ep. 19: All-Blazers

Jake ranks the Portland Trail Blazers, the most cursed team in franchise history. How can Jake make this an interesting podcast when the First Team is basically an absolute LOCK?

Jul 22, 202327 minEp. 20

All-Franchise Ep. 18: All-Knicks

Jake talks about the New York Knicks, an iconic franchise that ain't all that good. Earl or Guerin? Willis or Ewing? Bernard or Melo?!? A lot of tough choices on this one.

Jul 15, 202326 minEp. 19

All-Franchise Ep. 17: All-Cavaliers

Jake ranks the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team that's made 9/23 playoffs, 5/7 Conference Finals, and all 5 of its Finals behind the might of one man. Does Jake have the guts to put Kyrie on the Second Team? PLUS the wildest Cavs rookie class.

Jul 08, 202327 minEp. 18

All-Franchise Ep. 16: All-Mavericks

Jake ranks the Dallas Mavericks, a team with a lot of talent but nothing to show for it until that big German showed up. Will Jake concede to peer pressure and call Luka a point guard?

Jul 01, 202326 minEp. 17

All-Franchise Ep. 15: All-Hawks

Jake ranks the Atlanta Hawks, a team that's made more Conference Finals with Trae than with Dominique. This franchise is so boring! Can we sneak Pistol Pete in?

Jun 24, 202327 minEp. 16

All-Franchise Ep. 14: All-Raptors

Jake ranks the Raptors - the SECOND BEST team since 2013. Is that right? Old or new - Vince/DeMar? Bosh/Siakam?

Jun 17, 202327 minEp. 15

All-Franchise Ep. 13: All-Wizards

Jake ranks the Wizards/Bullets/Packers/Zyphers, who won a modern title and climb this list on a technicality. Does Earl Monroe automatically get First Team? Does Manute Bol deserve some love?

Jun 10, 202326 minEp. 14

All-Franchise Ep. 12: All-Jazz

Jake ranks the Utah Jazz, who would be up about a dozen spots if we weren't counting playoffs. Does Donovan Mitchell overtake Pete Maravich? Does Horancek get some love? What do you do with Mark Eaton?

Jun 03, 202326 minEp. 13

All-Franchise Ep. 11: All-Suns

Jake ranks the Phoenix Suns, who have come so close so many times. How would you rank their three stellar shooting guards?

May 20, 202328 minEp. 12

All-Franchise Ep. 10: All-Pacers

Jake ranks the Indiana Pacers, the second back-to-back team that DOMINATED the ABA back in the day - a team that came so close for about a decade and a half. The most important question this pod has ever asked: Does Ron Artest make it?

Apr 29, 202324 minEp. 11

All-Franchise Ep. 9: All-Nets

Jake ranks the Brooklyn Nets, a team that dominated the ABA but has done very little in the Big Brother league. How high can we realistically put Kyrie and Harden?

Apr 22, 202322 minEp. 10

All-Franchise Ep. 8: All-Magic

Jake ranks the Orlando Magic, a team that has more Most Improved Players than Conference Finals appearances. Which is worth more: Shaq's four years or Dwight's eight?

Apr 02, 202323 minEp. 9

All-Franchise Ep. 7: All-Nuggets

Jake ranks the Denver Nuggets, a team that's historically been score-first - holding the top four spots in season PPG since the merger. Does Melo or Alex English make the cut for First Team? (Hint: It's not close.)

Mar 28, 202324 minEp. 8

All-Franchise Ep. 6: All-Kings

Jake ranks the Sacramento Kings, a team that's on pace to climb these rankings over the next decade. Are we going to lie and say that DeMarcus Cousins' empty-calorie stats mean he's the Kings' best center ever?

Mar 18, 202320 minEp. 7

All-Franchise Ep. 5: All-Clippers

Jake ranks the LA Clippers, a team that would have been dead last if that CP3/Lakers trade went through. Does Blake's short peak let Elton Brand sneak into the First Team spot? Bonus: The weird history of the Clips and the Sixth Man of the Year Award.

Mar 12, 202325 minEp. 6

All-Franchise Ep. 4: All-Grizzlies

Jake ranks the Memphis Grizzlies, the Grit & Grind team that almost played Wade & LeBron in the Finals. Two amazing cases for First Team Power Forward - is Z Bo good enough?

Feb 18, 202319 minEp. 5

All-Franchise Ep. 3: All-Pelicans

Jake ranks the New Orleans Pelicans, a team we talked a lot about last week. How high will Zion climb despite a LOT of missed games?

Feb 15, 202319 minEp. 4

All-Franchise Ep. 2: All-Hornets

Jake ranks the Charlotte Hornets franchise players, the team that swapped histories with NOLA a decade ago. Can Jake stay objective and keep Stephen Jackson off this list?

Feb 10, 202318 minEp. 3

All-Franchise Ep. 1: All-Timberwolves

Jake ranks the Timberwolves franchise players, a late-'80s expansion team that's never won a playoff series outside of 2004. How high can we rank Jimmy Butler, who only stayed for a year before (wisely) running away?

Feb 09, 202315 minEp. 2

Season One Trailer: All-Franchise

Trailer for Season One. Jake ranks the top 3 players for each franchise at each position, while simultaneously ranking all teams from 30-1. Vince or Derozan? Shaq or Kareem? Magic or Smush? Find out every Wednesday and Friday.
