We loved having JR on the pod. Here's the whole thing if you haven't watched already: https://youtu.be/wp5oyO9auQ0
Honestly we need Kyrie on here.
He’s 6’3 btw
I think JJ found his new co-host!
No offense to that other guy who never talks
Why is draymond a hof? Horace grant, robert horry, Serge Ibaka… He a smart player, but so is steve kerr and john paxon.
But it really is stephs team! Lol
Mike miller wasn’t there in 2016 😂
JR scoring those 7 straight points in game 7 is not talked about enough imo
JR is right about making u forget about Bron. and i love Bron. i remember being in my college bar watching that San Antonio game. that about describes how i remember that game. the Jameson shots may also have had some affect
It’s insane through all this team that’s passed since 2016 and the players that retired from that 2016, lebron is still in the playoffs competing for a title.
It was MaCadoo's team
I remember that spurs game too ! lol
JR actually sounds like a bright guy, even though he's stoned AF. I only know him as the guy who dribbled out a tie game so I didn't expect much intelligence.
Kyrie is probably top 5 one of the greatest players to ever master the game of basketball. Right in line with Jordan, Kobe, and Durant. Truly a marvel to watch. Its a shame the media narrative always tries to bring him down. His career should really be respected and appreciated.
Jj knows about curry fans.🤣
I gotta be honest bro ..I really don’t like jj
Mike Miller was in 15 jr…😂
Bron had 31- 7-5 that game
Kyrie does not get the respect he deserves for that 2016 championship.
if you look at star players Bron has succeeded with, it's Kyrie and Dwade basically.
Reddick is a joke
JJ is a fanboy like perkins
I can't remember what game it was, but Kyrie fell on the ground after running into some tough defense, and he was still dribbling the basketball. He was ON THE FLOOR and still had full control of the ball. He ended up scoring too. I don't understand why there is still an ongoing debate about whether or not he's a better ballhandler than Allen Iverson. There isn't a better ballhandler than Unc Drew. Past, present, future.
One day we’ll realize draymond meant more to the warriors than klay.
loved booing this dude, he never made a game comfortable.
JJ a steph hater man. How can you call it Kds team. Steph is the whole warriors team bruh
"Steph's team"😂😂😂😂that part
I dont wanna hate on kyrie, i really dont. But what has this man done being so highly regarded? He hit ONE shot in the finals that was amazing and now he can rest on that for the rest of his life? Hes losing and tearing the place apart everywhere he goes. And noone says anything about that. Am i delusional?
What’s just insane to me is that Kyrie doesn’t have a go to move. I don’t think there is any player in history who’s got the arsenal Kyrie is displaying every time he steps on the court. At this point his greatness is not talked about enough
JJ's hatred of Steph cannot be hidden… he needs to get over the fact that he is NOT the best shooter ever… JJ wakes up sweating from bad dreams that are real… Get over it JJ, Steph > JJ
We ain't sensitive. We just know facts! Steph was 26pts 6ast 5reb 2stls, 48%, 43%, 92% in 168 games while playing with Durant. SO ARE WE GOING TO IGNORE THAT???
Great content!
Bro it was the Henny and gorilla glue that made you forget Lebron was on the court
Of course Dahntay the one who would say some corny like that out of place
We Want IMAN SHUMPERT next
Wait? Lebron wasn’t the only player on that Cavs team that contributed? Funny and interesting how LBJ fans make it seem that way…
Yet people love to say that “Bron beat the 2016 Warriors”. “The Warriors went and got KD for Bron”. Bron had a whole 1b killer with him. And Kevin Love. When guys like Steph win they love to share his credit. They love to mention Klay’s name next to his even tho Klay hasn’t played anywhere near Kyrie’s level in a Finals. Klay actually shrinks in the Finals
Is JR Smith always high or he just looks like he's always high🤔
Kyrie was the best pg in the league at that time, now second only to steph. The ability to turn up to this level in the post season is truely something only legends can do.
Ky so impossible to check i love the flowers jr givin him
Kyrie will always be the Picasso of basketball
Love that y'all had JR on, one of my faves 🔥
So with that logic it was Kyrie's team and LeBron joined him as well. LeBron stans be so sensitive.
JJ having PTSD from all the times Warrior fans went after him for his supposed ‘slander’ of Steph is never not gonna be hilarious😂
Fav player bac then❤
How can you say that it was Steph's team when KD was Finals MVP twice? Yes, KD is a snake and left to go to Golden State (which ruined his career)…but that was KD's team lol. KD is going to have to win a ring with hardly anyone known in the basketball world, if he wants his image back.
And Draymond is NOT a hall of famer lol.
