Screenwriter and podcast host Brian Koppelman hit the guest circuit on May 21, 2026, appearing on the podcast Two Percent before jumping over to talk basketball on The Bill Simmons Podcast.
The episode focused heavily on a post-season celebration for Knicks fans, featuring analysis alongside ESPN analyst Tim Legler and show host Bill Simmons. At the end of the broadcast, Bill Simmons thanked his longtime friend, saying, "Thanks to my friend Brian Koppelman. Congrats to all the Knicks fans out there."
While Koppelman's analysis is usually reserved for his own creative projects and episodic breakdowns, his casual chemistry with Bill Simmons always delivers a highly-rated listen. As the NBA playoffs march forward, expect Koppelman to keep popping up to defend his beloved New York franchise on the airwaves.
