EP 32: The Clown King

About this episode

Ryan and Fred return to discuss the NBA offseason and introduce new segments for the upcoming season.

Welcome back to the Best of Enemies podcast! After a well-earned offseason break, Ryan and Fred are back to break down all the wild moves from around the league and get ready for the 2025–26 NBA season. We’re kicking things off with a brand new segment — “Hype or Pipe” — where we separate the real contenders from the dreamers. Then, we turn up the fire with “Get That Hatred Outta Your Heart,” , as Fred finally confronts his feelings about a certain NBA legend making headlines again (you can probably guess who 👀). And to wrap things up, Ryan takes a victory lap in “Purple Reign on the Parquet” — a not-so-humble look at Boston’s off-season fallout that Fred may not be ready for. New segments, bold takes, and a few surprises — it’s the Best of Enemies like you’ve never heard before.
