Feels bad that such a goofy 3 worked so many times haha. Like damn levy, you don't need to catapult it out the instant it touches your hand like its made of acid bro...
That was a fun watch. I appreciate you not punishing them with tactics and letting the game go on. I don't watch basketball and have no idea who they are, but they seemed like two chill dudes to have a game with.
There’s a few ways white can move to try to stop it but of course nothing works. One line is 1. Rxg2 Kh1 2. Qf4 (threatening Qh2 mate) Nf3 (could go Ng4 also here) 3. Qxf3 Rd3 4. Rg1+ (double check) Kxg1 5. Qg2 mate
this was one of my favorite videos from you Levy. I really enjoyed the banter and discussion the three of yall had about the differences and similarities of chess and NBA life
I am so impressed by the eloquence the players used to describe chess in basketball terms. It actually made ears perk in my house when I played it on my computer. I think chess might become popular around here.
yeah levi i think intentionally missed the unstoppable mate near the end there, give them a chance to claw out of that attack, and he knew the clock was going anyway.
Cool to see professionals be able to find similarities between different disciplines. Comparing the way one has to be able to read a defense in basketball to determine your moves translating to studying the opponents move in chess to determine your strategy was awesome! P.s. I’ve never seen anybody shoot the ball that quick or with that low a release point. If it works it works I suppose
You know what everyone is laughing at levy’s jumper but I think its hella lethal in-game. His shot release speed is crazy, quick release is one of the reasons why Curry’s shot is so nutty, defenders can’t react fast enough. Don’t get me wrong it looks heinous I wanna wash eyes with bleach and accuracy may vary in game.
I don't get it either. The guy just scored 32%, while being on camera, in front of two nba guys, knowing it's gonna go public. It's quite insane imo, yet the top comments are people making fun of his form. As if it mattered, lol.
thing is that he could never be consistent with a jumper like that. he even said himself that he was surprised he made nearly the amount that he shot. there’s 5 key components to a jumpshot with great reason
Best video I’ve seen in a while! Great job relating chess and basketball with your questions and comments during the game. And wow I can’t believe how many baskets you made, well done Levy! Impressive.
Gotham, because of your hilarious chess videos i started playing chess at home, and than at chess clubs with people rated 1600, in 2 weeks will be my first tornament in clevland from the 7-9 in june thank you😊
levy's jump shot made me realize that, sometimes in life, you don't need to be the best at something to do it. You don't even have to be good at it, much less average: you can be so god damn bad that you inspire a cringe in anyone who sees you doing that something. Keep it up Lev you're doing it. Great video btw loved it
GothamChess, the Michael Jordan of chess content. Glad to to hear my favorite chess teacher is also a Knicks fan and to see him working with the the NBA. My two favorite sports to play; basketball and chess though I wish I was as good at chess as I was in Basketball.
If you can beat Decino in a blind run of a community picked custom Doom II map vs. some chess handicap based on how fast he beat you, that'd be amazing.
Guess Ley sucks at chess and basketball
He will be GM, you will be 400
PIN OF SHAME!

levy shoots like the ball is hot 😭😭
💀
nah I read this before watching and I thought it couldn't be that bad. Holy cow I have never seen that form before
@@buni3629i’m watching now thinking the same thing. i’ll get back to you when i see it

im fucking DYING, Levy shooting form got me in TEARS 😭😭
he pulls it up to his chest and im like ok, ok he gettin ready... and the next moment the ball is gone... like wha..?
He should stick to chess
Levy’s jumper looks like my chess game 😂
The form is crazy 💀
300 elo from 3
I Throw my queen into a blunder just like that
This is the comment my brain felt but couldn’t find the words for
1:14 that's when you know you're playing beginners. You never get to see pros shake hands so beautifully
fr though
that jump shot is craazy
Blink and you'll miss it 😭
Quick release‼️
daryl morey rebounding and passing for the threes was wild. he loves his chess!
goated
He really is living the Nerd dream
one of the more comical jumpers i’ve ever seen but levy probably drained more threes than i would
I am giggling SO hard at the motion it’s incredible

That shot is the Charles Barkley golf swing of basketball chess.
That is the best thing I’ve ever read
@@quinndoyen1706it really is something
just a perfect string of words
Average of 13 and 16 = 16 apparently. Levy’s got mad math skillz
the average is 14.5, theres no piece the is worth 0.5 points
Levy shooting 30% is crazy w that jumper
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Seriously how the fuck
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
@@Comp1demon0 30% wide open in pretty broke dude..
25:44 Now he’s just being nice. For sure Levy spotted the mate. And this vid was excellent.
We have the eval bar but I saw the Rsac mate too. He had to have seen it but the way he acts at the end makes me think he didn't.
I’ve been looking at it it for about 10 minutes and I still don’t see it, I think I’m just blind, what’s the mate there
@@joshmonroe5932Rg2
Qf4
@@joshmonroe5932 You can get the exact lines from other posts but basically Rsac, Kh1, Q5+, N blocks, QxN, Rh2+, KxR, Qg2#

getting dapped up by an nba player after shooting 3s being a chess player has to be so satisfying
My T-wolves catching unnecessary strays lmao
NBA 3pt 8/25 is pretty impressive
0:37 oh hell naw
As a diehard sixers fan and casual chess player, this content was MADE for me. Thanks levy, really cool stuff, keep it coming!!
and you got daryl morey rebounding for you! wild!

*Levy getting absolutely destroyed in Basketball*
me laughing on my way to lose 10 games of chess and 5 of street basketball
The eval bar in the second game was wild, fun stuff!
yeah levi i think intentionally missed the unstoppable mate near the end there, give them a chance to claw out of that attack, and he knew the clock was going anyway.
the eval bar humbled me as well because I thought it was a good move giveb that position but I realized that it was the wrong pawn.
The move for black is just rook takes isn't it?
@@VidathDyeah Rxg2+, Kh1, Qf4, Nf3, Qxf3, Rd3, Rg1+, Kxg1, Qg2#
Levy’s first shot made me think this was going to be like a secret skill of his 😂
Levy's jumper is like premoving your pieces in the opening praying to not get mated on the 10th move

Stay in your lane and just focus on chess lmao
@@Raspy978come back to this and realise how cringe you are for being that mad at a comment on yt
I really like videos in which Gotham plays against people irl😊
the first game was not mate
the queen could of been use to block
that is why the evale bar did not shoot straight to M1 after Rf1
please pin this comment @GothamChess
This is a surprisingly good interview format.
man this was great, you gotta do this again!
I love how Levy took care not to crush their souls, without even mentioning he wasn't playing the best moves
28:26 the timberwolves were like the first ssed most of the season lmao 😂
If I can take 8 points of materiel, I would take away all the pawns
And preface it by saying: “It’s been said pawns are the soul of chess, so I’m going to take your soul.”
against a player much better than you thats just giving them a huge lead in development for free
@@MattJH33 I took his soul and he checkmated me in 4 moves.
@@za5528Tf?
I would’ve taken both bishops and a central pawn
Levy's shooting has the same energy of me playing rapid like it's bullet
Loved this kind of content! Amazing that you also mixed in some interviewing. Would love more of this
bro making them take pawns instead of another piece was the ultimate sell
I think the smartest would have been to take all 8 pawns.
I love this kind of concept especially as an NBA fan and hope there’ll be more episodes like this
Best video I’ve seen in a while! Great job relating chess and basketball with your questions and comments during the game. And wow I can’t believe how many baskets you made, well done Levy! Impressive.
12:35 checkmate in two moves
Gotham, because of your hilarious chess videos i started playing chess at home, and than at chess clubs with people rated 1600, in 2 weeks will be my first tornament in clevland from the 7-9 in june thank you😊
All the best mate, hope u make others checkmate😅
If "flea flicker" was a type of jumpshot 💀
Paul Reed and De'Anthony Melton seem like really cool guys
What was Levy doin at 16:39 ? 🤣
😂😂😂
realizing he about to lose his queen 🤣
Sacrificing the rook
Levy asked some really good questions, he's a natural at interviewing

That was cool! I was impressed with your shooting 3s, and I was impressed by their being able to hold their own against an IM. Very fun.
No one in that hall knows how to do maths! Average of 13 and 16 is 14.5 (not 16) and levy looses 6.5 points of material (not 8)!
If I saw a dude shooting like levy I would leave for my own safety, absolute madman
Levy's jumper looks like Skip Bayless's 🤣🤣
Melton: On the warriors, Reed: On the pistons
i love how gotham dosent only like chess he talks ufc, here he is with nba players, he speaks like one of my friends lmao goated
4:41 insanely good answer
They actually did alot better in chess than I thought. The 2-on-1 lowkey mattered
Levy is way better an 3 pointers than I expected
as an NBA and Chess fan, I see this as an absolute win
8points, i would take all of Levy's pawns
Unexpectedly, levy playing basketball was more entertaining than him playing chess😂
Levy looks like he sets a shot up normally and the his shot release is sped up to x2 speed
LOVE this form of content. Please do more!
At this point 14:52 i thought levy is Spidey and he can do it easily but he's not doing by his intentions 😂

“Put me in for…idk the Timberwolves” you mean the team actually still in the playoffs?😂
Levy's jumpshot is like the Viih-Sou, it shouldn't work but somehow it does.
Levy shooting like he scared of the Ball lmao
That tactic with Rg2+, Qf4 for the M5 in the second game was insane!
I bet Tyrese Halliburton would be insane at chess…or Rajon Rondo
Real ones remember the stories about Rajon Rondo whooping kids at the Boys and Girls Club at Connect 4
@@ericlytle2209 that’s hilarious
Levy you have decent shooting mechanics. That's why you can shoot from NBA 3 with relative ease.
Levy throwing the ball faster than i lose at chess💀💀
Would love to see an analysis! The eval bar was going crazy!
Taking all 8 pawns would be hilarious.
using the wolves as an example of abad team sums up his ball knowledge
I’m disappointed that Paul and De’Anthony didn’t even consider just taking all of Levy’s pawns. They had 8 points, it’d have been perfect.
Everyone's cooking the jump😭 but Levy hit more than I expected, I wish he played out that last game even with the win by time
seeing Levy shoot like that makes me like him more for some reason 😄
They shouldve taken all his pawns.
If you can beat Decino in a blind run of a community picked custom Doom II map vs. some chess handicap based on how fast he beat you, that'd be amazing.
Bro’s milking the NBA now 💀
Levi is getting desperate
POV:your a like begger
The fact that you were with them affected your hoops
That jump shot is hilarious
It's funny how basketball players normally keep their arms in position after throwing the ball, but you just move them down instantly.
“Put me in… for the Timberwolves or something idk” is crazy when the Timberwolves are in the conference finals right now.
Not gonna lie. W concept. Everyone stick till mid video to watch the 3 point competition
Shawn Marion had a great NBA career with a similar jumpshot
I like where this is going. Like chessboxing but applied to other sports.
levy shoots the ball like he's scared of it 😄
"I TOOK TWO BASKETBALL PLAYER AT ONCE" should be the title
Levy with that quick release lol. Great video, this a fun watch.
Levy shoots like Wilt Chamberlain
3:20 That calling out "Knight to c5" surprised Gotham 😎
14:50 his shots look like he's glitching 😂😂😂

That shooting form gives me Shane Marion vibs. Also, you gotta face Daryl Morey next!!
that form is insane
That jumper is insane
levy jumping around like a🐇 its hilarioous 😂
18:54 why is the way he ran to the ball so funny? 💀💀
Chess Dark Souls, you have to play the entire game while in a boss fight.
levy's shot is somehow left handed and right handed at the same time
