😮
Jason’s vids are ALWAYS the best
Second?
It’s obvious Jason watches a bunch of film, from watching many of his vids
Lovin the 30+ min offseason content so far! Jason has rekindled my love for hoops man.
Y’all who hate that he’s a lakers fan at least bro makes it pretty obvious he’s being biased cause 95% of the time he’s going off serious experience in watching film and KNOWING the game
jason timpf could get me excited even for curling! Go Lakers!
I agree, I re-sign my core and use my expiring contracts and future picks and or do lo to make a big trade at the deadline
Right about the Clippers. Both guys will never be healthy together for a full playoff run again.
Dave Matthews is one of the few jam bands left. His concerts are awesome.
Suns will beat the Lakers in the playoffs.
Oh thank god another dame video thank god I love watching videos about this guy and how he's in every trade rumor he's so cool god I wish the nba was litterally just dame rumors they are so original and make for super awsome content
that’s crazy jason u have the exact same height and wingspan as kobe bryant
Agree on the starting 5 except for Jrue Holiday. I would put a healthy Kawhi Leonard at the 2. When Kawhi is healthy he’s a top 5 player in the NBA and he is elite playing off ball as well.
I had quite the same Dream Starting 5: Curry, Leonard, Durant, Giannis, Jokic
Jason, my man. Jam band!? Umphrey McGee. Youre welcome
Dude spent like 20 min telling us how hes a hybrid of Kobe, Kawhi, and Paul George lol
Jason I completely disagree. I really don’t think the lakers are close. Lebron and ad are just getting older. They need to make moves if they are gonna have any chance to actually contend
If you think there aren't any jam bands still around you're just not looking lol
I do disagree on best guitarists. After hearing Dereck Trucks at Red Rocks he's the man.
BRO SAID THE LAKERS AGAIN 💀💀💀💀
What about Zach Lavine for the Lakers?
best pod in the game
Team PRS unite! Great collection. I was skeptical, but Silver Skys are some of my favorite guitars I’ve ever played. PRS QC is unmatched. Beautiful collection and go Lakers lol
Close sweep is all I gotta say to shoot down your lakers answer. At least Miami and phoenix won games
Love the how-bad-I-was-in-high-school story… This was me in middle school, and I just quit the game. It's amazing how being bad at something can give you a deeper appreciation of it! Kudos for your persistence, and always appreciate your perspective! (Fun side note: I shifted to playing the guitar like crazy… and turned that into a music career for many years! Kindred spirits…)
The suns got 2 games an kd only played 8 games with them Also cp3 didn’t play … but the lakers who swept have a better chance crazy logic
Love this episode! Just a nitpick: as an acoustic guitar player i dont think the bridge pickup sounds like an acoustic. It sounds awesome but i would never ever replace my acoustics with that sort of sound.
My only electric is a semi hollow jazz guitar that i barely play 😅
Trade Dame to Lakers for Reeves and Hachimura.
Ya that PRS is 🔥 🔥 🔥. I’m sure you are better than you say. But it’s understandable not playing for people. Lol. I play a few instruments myself. Sadly it’s a dying hobby.
Elbow above the rim, 6'7"" on the program in shoes w/ a 6'11 wingspan, we're talking 11'6" max touch? Call it, what? 37" running vert? That the right ballpark?
Now the money question. One foot takeoff, two-feet, or both?
Keep sleeping on the warriors
We have to stop this narrative that the Lakers somehow had a better series against the Nuggets than the Suns.
How is it possible that the ONLY team in the playoffs that won 2 games against Denver, had a worse series than the team who got SWEPT??? Are we worried about "Net Rating" or are we worried about wins and losses? The Suns "Net Rating" was worse than the Lakers because the games they lost, they got annihilated for the most part. But we're ignoring the fact that they actually won 2 games?
Insanity bro I swear. I've seen this narrative far too many times and its disgusting. Lakers are actually the ONLY team in the playoffs to get swept by Denver, and we're giving them a participation award. Bullshit
Identical to an acoustic guitar. Sure
Lillard would need to adjust bigtime if he went to the Heat… he's Chris Paul'ish,…plodding to half court, staring down opponents and then doing a dribble show. Won't work with the Heat & coach Spoe.
Celts would be a better fit for Lillards style
I think the Lakers should move off DeLo. I have never liked his game. He is slow footed on offense, doesn’t jump and inconsistent shooter. He is also atrocious on defense.
You saying the lakers is disappointing jason 😂 u being bias. They got 4-0’d. Sun stole 2 wins by outscoring denver. And now they have another scorer. The game is changing, offense is beating defense. No matter of your analytics… stop it. Lakers scoring is not enough and injuries and age is a major factor.
Awesome to hear your basketball story and that you really started to become good after college. I'm trying to do something similar as well. I play Ice Hockey and improving has been a little different fot me because a lack of tenacity and conditioning has held me back for a while but I've really tried to be self reflective with my positioning and compete level and I try to emulate the better players I play/compete with and practice what seperates them from others to become more skilled. Anyways, another great video as always.
