Bobby Portis Opens Up About His Second Chance In Milwaukee, Learning From Giannis & Much More



We have a special one this week as we welcome in Milwaukee Bucks forward, Bobby Portis. His NBA journey is really incredible and we’re excited to share it. Topics include: growing up in Arkansas and attending The University of Arkansas, how The Milwaukee Bucks pulled together their recent impressive win-streak, why having a star like Giannis Antetokounmpo can lead to no-drama environment, why the media overlooks The Bucks sometimes, what he’s learned from Giannis, how The Bucks love to play “random basketball,” what makes Jrue Holiday such a generational defensive player, debating which block was better – Giannis’ block or LeBron’s block, his favorite Brook Lopez story, Bobby’s very unique story of how he wound up on The Bucks, how Bobby had to overcome his image that developed in Chicago after his “fight” with Nikola Mirotic in practice, JJ shares a story about getting into it with Hedo Türkoğlu in Orlando, why coach Bud loves Bobby so much, why Bobby should be in the conversation for the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award, what he learned from last year’s series against The Boston Celtics

    I went to 3 home games this year and Bobby did his thang and we cheered Bobby all 3 nights, it was awesome.

    Listening to reddick incessantly, almost neurodivergently, pound the integrity and meaning out of these accolades is actual torture for religious basketball viewers. But the Bobby interview was well worth it.
    Let me make something crystal clear for JJ: STATS AND METRICS ARE MEANINGLESS WITHOUT CONTEXT.
    I'd like to see jj recognize the factors that influence a players metrics and then adjust his analysis accordingly.
    For example: a heavily guarded player (watch games instead of viewing NBAs skewed "stats" about proximity of defenders) will miss more shot attempts while securing FT attempts. They will take more shots because their odds of scoring a basket decrease with number, proximity and intensity of defenders. This will decrease their efficiency in comparison to a player who takes fewer, less contested, open shots. Just a hypothetical example. 😐

    Bobby Portis is that dude on the court can shoot defend rebound sorta playmake shot block etc…really underrated player

    My favorite part is around the 25:00 mark when Bobby is talking about Jrue and how he impacts winning. You can pretty much say that for every guy on that team; none of these guys came into the league as stars, so they've probably all had to do all of the little things on the court just to get PT.

    They've all had to learn how to impact winning

    Great show. I wish we heard more about the conversation with Giannis and his reaction to Portis calling out of the blue.

  12. lewchootrain

    Bobby really fits this rare position that most teams need nowadays like a shooting big man like KG was. The Celts need a player like him everytime I see Grant Williams on the floor I’m like not again 😢

    54:35 when JJ begins to say "You're averaging right now.." it really felt like it was 1:1 with a manager. You know how before they talk about your raise & bonus they talk about your performance in the year? lol

  15. Daniel Navarro

    I think it was really gross how the most coverage Milwaukee got was when they lost the streak, that's dirty

  17. Mac

    One of Arkansas' finest! Way to put on Bobby! Also, he told no lies…nothing going on here lol

  18. Darth Noved

    As a Bucks fan I hope one day Bobby’s jersey gets hung up in the rafters with a few more championships under his belt; he’s truly something you can’t replace to this team’s success 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    Everybody loves Bobby! Those guys coming out of Arkansas have been DOGS in the league. Love to see it
