A unique and mostly funny concept, it’s obviously made for basketball fans, but you’ll still find it funny if you’re not one. It’s worth a watch for Dan Aykroyd alone

This Utah Jazz team is probably the worst fictional professional basketball team I've ever seen, my first problem is with Coach Kimball, in the final seconds of the game during timeout, he spoke literal gibberish and scribbled all over the white board, thereby leaving the playmaking to the players and with less than 30 seconds left to go in the timeout, could cause a whole lot of confusion, Coach Kimball is an incompetent and oftentimes abusive coach that doesn't even deserve to coach a little league team. Secondly, the team itself is too reliant on its star player Lewis Scott and doesn't surround him with actual good players and Lewis isn't even that good. If this was a real team, they would only win 20 games.
