Thanks so much for watching. This was a really fun interview.
I love how they troll each other. Sarcasm at its finest.
beautiful combination
I love how sarcastic they are 😂😂 the trolling is immaculate.
Some brutal honesty going on there towards the end 💀💀 gotta respect it RJ a real one 😅
33:45 Best momen’t, “Watch out lil’ fella”
**Correction** SIX Guys have been the best players on the best teams that are currently active: LeBron, KD, Steph, Giannis, Embiid & Tatum.
David Lee definitely was a key player for GSW back in the day. A diet Sabonis.
This podcast episode is like if 2 supervillains met up for coffee on their day off from trying to take over their respective cities
Easily the best basketball podcast
I think we just witnessed the beginning of something.
Just do a part 2 JJ. We the Fans asked for it, maybe Playoff edition.
Americans not knowing about European sports is ever so prevalent all the time Michael Jordan is not bigger than Lionel Messi or CR7 at all by the way or pele or maradona cute tho
Mike Brown vs Ty Lue
Kyrie shot can't be bigger than Horry against Sacramento. That series was down too the wire
You’re a racist jj Reddick
Old man and the three should replace all other basketball talk shows
Imagine JJ with RJ’s athleticism and RJ with JJ’s
Cxck
Just hitting the doordash ad and I'm loving this combo of JJ and RJ. I would love to see them collab more. Instant win.
The question about the 2004 Olympics 😭
Need RJ Back on ASAP
We need another rj episode!!!
This was the funnest podcast I’ve watched in so long! They definitely need to take over for shaq and chuck once they’re gone!
BEST PODCAST OF 2023.
JJ, please add Video Chapters to your vids!
Amazing interview once again my fellow blue devil
You can tell these two former NBA studs have the IQ of a Lebron and Magic. Articulate and polarizing. Great work JJ.
This was the best episode yet, so much fun. Great insight. And the guys from the second row are always so much more interestin and have much better stories than the superstars.
There has got to be a quarterly episode when you guys talk shop over drinks. And perhaps you guys alternate venues. One of my favorite episodes across all pods ever. Thanks for this. 🙏🏽
Absolutely LOVED this interview, RJ is so funny
I love RJ’s subtle disses at JJ.. works em into conversation effortlesslt
Fantastic episode. Loved it. As a Kobe fan, way before his passing, I'll give you Magic as the most important Laker ever. Cheers, fellas.
Edit: The Block. "He should've been gassed out." I've said it before and I'll say it again: E.P.O.
One of the best I've seen. You two are good together
Jeff j.j. and Gilbert set it up
46:03 LMFAO…..
This episode is hilarious and it’s only been like 10-15 mins in.😂😂😂
This was gold RJ is hilarious!
The duo I didn’t know I needed lol
we need more JJ and RJ together. Theyre hilarious!
JJ NAMING THE ARGENTINA PLAYERS GOT ME CRYINGGGG
What a great podcast the chemistry you guys have unmatched!!!
Cleveland Richard Jefferson was a weapon. He played 2-5 he guarded 1-5 and from my young perspective there didn’t seem like there was anything he couldn’t do on the basketball court. He was really that good. Still super athletic and tough; they don’t win the championship without him.
Real bromance❤
