Shut the fvck up

I think ISH is home to the biggest McHale fan ever in OP and the biggest McHale hater ever in L.Kizzle.

Who said I hate McHale. I actually loved him as the Rockets coach. He however is overrated as a player. You can still be great and be overrated at the same time.

Also no one ever mentions Jeff Ruland laying the smackdown on him in the 84 playoffs.

Not gonna lie I love the ISB vs Kizzle Mchale episodes on ISH. It makes me tune in weekly. Both sides are good.


It’s great content.
