I was back in on you after you called out Perk. No need for this video but it’s appreciated.
To answer the question anyone CAN win however how many first time playoff teams with no prior experience playing together have won the championship on their first run? It’s not happened since like 08 Celtics and 2020 lakers?And they added stars to achieve that, this is a young team they gon have young mistakes to end the playoff run
Apology accepted. Love your content but your Kings takes have definitely made our fan base salty
Someone tell JJ about that Davion-Kessler lockdown backcourt
No don’t accept it kings fan , keep the same energy
Good to hear
We are playing good, I pray they all stay healthy! Super cool to watch.
We forgive you boss but dam I wanted to watch the whole episode lol 😂
Nah bra eat crow!!!
JJ, 🫡 accountability 💯
So in the 1st and 2nd quarters, Kings have the 25th defensive ratings. In the 3rd, it improves to 20th. But in the 4th, jumps to 10th. They are a top 5 offensive rating in every quarter, peaking at #2 in the 4th quarter. What does this tell me… Kings struggle to guard at the start of the game, yet they still attack you offensively. Opponents have to keep up offensively. After the half, they make adjustments on D and still attack you. Then in the 4th, they tighten the screws on D while going for your throat on offense. The eye test proves this is how this team plays. Will it work in the playoffs? can't wait to see!! Light the Beam!

Looking like a Sixers or Bucks vs. Nuggets or Suns Finals. I believe whoever comes out of the East will win it all.
Kings remind me of the 2021 suns
Even though JJ is skeptical about the Kings winning the finals, it's absolutely incredible that the experts are even considering us in these discussions. It feels like 2002!
JJ Redick, keep up the good work Bro. If ESPN had You they would be much better, but they rather entertain Kendrick Perkins racist outrage behaviour
I realized the other day that the Kings haven't been a good team since they had Peja Stojakovic… I am rooting for the Kings in every playoff series that isn't against my team
Maryland fans were right about your sister 👑
Thank you for that apology we accept… light the beam….
😂😂😂😂😂
I was commenting on all of your videos until you finally apologized
Great video
Now apologize for completely rejecting the idea that implicit racial bias doesn’t exist. At least don’t be so arrogant about it. Your opinion isn’t the end all be all.
I honestly hope the kings get swept in the first round. I'm not trying to watch the KINGS of all teams, especially during the playoffs
No apology needed! Your take wasn’t unlike many others at the time, but boy have the Kings come out and proven everyone wrong. Picking up 4 quality 3 pt shooters (Huerter, Monk, Murray, Lyles) is also a very important piece of the equation.
Appreciate you making this video, JJ. Enjoy the Beam!
Always liked you JJ! (except when you played for Duke, can even YOU blame me though???)
You manned up and fell on the sword, apology accepted!
4 weeks of playoffs is tough.
Kings got all these espn guys retracting they statements frm the trade last year. Give my kings some credit !! Go kings 🟣
LIGHT THE BEAM, LIGHT THE LEAGUE UP 🔦🟣
JJ, you're a stand up guy. Love your takes, most all of them anyway…
Drama queen
The numbers really started to get on top of JJ at around 10:16 lol
Get your apology ready for the 2023 Champions
Kings fan here. While JJ had a pretty harsh take I'm not afraid to say I hated the trade at the time too. How could you not? You spend years rooting for the team and they pull off that move out of left field, but hey, they proved everybody wrong. Sports media and long time fans.
No apology needed. I'm a kings fan and even I been pissed the last decade with the trades and lack of FA signings and just everything. They are a mess. After the sabonis trade last year I felt the same as JJ. Wtf are we doing?! Made no sense.
Now I am happy we are winning this year but still up in the air if this front office can do the right things. Easy to have a good year, but can they keep it going? Either way I'm going to enjoy this years playoff like it's the last one for another 20 years lol.
