Watched the NBA Draft on the big screen and hung out with The Ringer crew on the second screen. This was great, I hope you guys keep doing stuff like this 👍
Best draft party among all of sports media. Mainstream sports media's draft coverage is boring and conservative. This is fun and lively specially with Bill hanging out all night
Recap 52 min in: KOC has laughed at Doncic being ROY, said Bagley was better than him, said Kevin Knox was a better choice than JJJ-and trashed Memphis for taking him, said Trey Young is basically going to be a bust, and wanted Mo Bamba over all of them.
I’m deadass serious here: how tf does he have a job? He’s comically wrong every single draft. And the worst part is he never admits it. It’s a month away from the season and he still thinks Killian Hayes is going to be great.
2:27:30 Bill talking shit about Huerter and the pick that took him. Later BS will fall in love with Kevin "That freakin maryland guy" This is how BS refers to KH

It's unfair to judge opinions from this long ago, but the chat for this livestream hasn't aged well. Right off the bat; "Luka is good be now he’s overstated he’s not a perrenial all star type player at all" "He’s a solid pro and a starter for sure but people acting like he’s Larry Bird" @Jason Battle, Those are some rough ones buddy
@@full6330name You wrote this 11 months ago and he's already a superstar, has been one for several seasons. At the moment he's probably the 3rd best player in the league behind Jokic and maybe Giannis. Perhaps Tatum too? Easily top-4 in the league right there.
I love this format and I think they should go back to it. That being said, KOC'S grade of D for Trae Young and B+ for Kevin Knox surely haunts him to this day
How about when they steamroll Tate Frazier on the Bagley analysis? He is visibly upset that Kevin O'Connor, who has the face but not the voice for radio, decides to take the reigns on analyzing a guy who Frazier has been watching up close all year.
The Suns still need a defensive minded Point Guard, or just decide to make Devin Booker the PG and have the lineup look like this: PG - Devin Booker SG - Josh Jackson SF - Mikal Bridges PF - Dragan Bender or Marquese Chriss C - DeAndre Ayton With the bench having a handful of these guys: TJ Warren F Tyler Ulis PG Elie Okobo G Jared Dudley F Troy Daniels G George King G/F Brandon Knight G Tyson Chandler C Alec Peters F Alan Williams C Davon Reed G/F ?Elfrid Payton G?
I love how they all go to KOC’s grades and he is literally just the opposite of reality. It’s impressive bc it’s almost impossible to be THAT wrong for 3 hours
obviously the trae young slander here has not aged well, but the zhaire smith for mikal bridges trade, and KOC subsequently giving zhaire smith an A- is hilarious
Use this my man. You can download just the audio from this video so you use much less mbs. I used to use this all the time when I lived out in the country with only 30gbs a month. youtube-downloader-for-android.en.uptodown.com/android
tbf, Sexton was available, but I agree that Bamba isn't a bad pick. Could always trade for Rozier or something if desperate for a guard this year or just wait for the lottery next year.
MO BAMBA IS GONNA BE A STAR IN THE LEAGUE. THE PLAYER HE WAS IN COLLEGE IS NOT WHAT HE IS NOW. IN JUST A COUPLE MONTHA HEA TRANSFORMED HIS GAME INTO A GOOD SHOOTER. HES KEVIN GARNETT WIT MORE RANGE. BOOK IT
wharmon only if he ends up being pretty great, if he's just solid/good, no shame in exercising caution...unless you're the Knicks, hornets or magic who are basically playing w/ house money next year and could've used the flyer on MPJ for the potential upside value.
@@nalimlattarai2873 ACTUALLY... I was delighted he fell where he did because I thought not needing to be the guy - that's Jokic - or the #1 scorer - Murray (I mean, Jokic, but Jokic is such a well-rounded player whereas Murray, although not a 1-dimensional scorer, is a scorer first and foremost) - was perfect for MPJ. I really thought he'd go too high, to a team that wasn't going to be patient with him, and I think it worked out for the best for him as well as the Nuggets. I think there are probably teams that, with hindsight, *think* they should've taken him, but I'm not sure any of them would've been patient enough, smart enough, to get the best out of him.
@@StefanoLeone statement still stands true. Young had a bad series but he is still an incredible talent with many similiar traits as Luka. Luka is better, but so many people thinking Luka was gonna be a future all time great, simultaneously thinking trae Young was gonna be a bust made no sense to me lol
@@StefanoLeone similiar qualities are, they both can make any shots from deep. Both are great in isolation, geniuses in Pnr. Can make any read and any pass. Both are great finishers. Both can’t defend. This was all true at the draft.
WOW! Is this the new age Lambda Lambda Lambda (ΛΛΛ or Tri-Lambs) !?!?!??! LOL! With Boston Bill as the dean??? LOL! Boston Bill head is the size of a metal container!LOL!
@Natnael Guliano It's a cop out to say the Grizz or Pels because they got the two clear cut player who were miles and miles ahead of everyone else, those were easy picks. But taking Coby White and Daniel Gafford were really nice rotation picks for the Bulls. The problem is that they have the shittiest coach of all time that doesn't know how to develop or handle young players.
@Natnael Guliano oh lol my bad, I thought this was a vid from 2019 when I responded to you, in that case you are right that the Mavs won the fuck out of the 2018 draft. But even then I would say that the Bulls had a pretty good 2018 draft , just not HOF level. So yeah lol, miscommunication but we are both kind right. Also pretty damn random to reply to comments from a 2018 livestreamed watch party.
Damn... I really restarted my laptop and ran diagnostics since I thought it was from my side. That crackling hellish noise happened at least 3 times. Set up an appointment with the local medical centre for possible ear cancer next week :(
RIP Tjarks. Came back to watch how excited he got from the Luka trade.
Same
Me too
Which is Tjarks?
Same here. Also the added bonus of multiple examples of why KOC is the worst NBA Draft analyst in the history of the draft
@@timcarter817 He just thinks all the players are going to pan out in the NBA! Mo Bamba, Kylian Hayes, etc lol
35:03 Came to revisit after BS Pod. RIP Tjarks
The most exciting moment as a Mav fan since June 2011
Amen! We're back bitches!! #MFFL
#MFFL fever is on fire again!!!
i need to go back here bcoz of Jonathan Tjarks 😪
Lot of fun looking back at this now, seeing how incredible Lula Doncic is!
KOC is the dumbest person alive. Literally every take he has is horrid, every single draft
Her brother Luka is even better.
Rest in Awesome Tjarks.
Watched the NBA Draft on the big screen and hung out with The Ringer crew on the second screen. This was great, I hope you guys keep doing stuff like this 👍
Watching this for the first time after Tjarks passing 🙏 as recommended by today's podcast
Hanging talking basketball laughing, that's the good life👌
youngnebula187 for real, I'd love to be there with some Scotch
Hell yea bud
Best draft party among all of sports media. Mainstream sports media's draft coverage is boring and conservative. This is fun and lively specially with Bill hanging out all night
This era was Ringer’s apex mountain
“Dude, ITS KEVIN O CONNOR!” Lol KOC is one of my favs right there w Shea and Mallory & Jason! Woo boo! Great website and awesome pod casts!
KOC is the dumbest NBA person alive
That was fun, I enjoyed feeling like I was hanging out with the Ringer staff for the NBA draft.
it's weird putting all the voices to faces i've never seen
Right???! I swore Tate was going to have a Beard and long hair !LOL!
I thought KOC was black because he had the same kind of lisp as Rembert Browne from Grantland days.
Gwynbleidd yes dude I was so like baffled at what KOC sounded like
Came right after watching the Mavs get in the finals. Crazy watching it 6 years apart…
RIP Tjarks.
They should do this every year!
Bill is the best. He never comes on videos but when he does the whole team gets charged up
Recap 52 min in: KOC has laughed at Doncic being ROY, said Bagley was better than him, said Kevin Knox was a better choice than JJJ-and trashed Memphis for taking him, said Trey Young is basically going to be a bust, and wanted Mo Bamba over all of them.

he's super gay
Sooooo gay@@dimitrijetucovic1307
Vintage ringer right here I love it
Starts at 4:50
Thanks!
You da man!
Actual draft starts 30:45
De’Aaron Fox doing Lady Bird is one of the best things i’ve ever seen
Who else is watching this on thanksgiving because they are thankful for Luka
Fantastic Ringer!!!! Hope to see this next year.
2:27:30 Bill talking shit about Huerter and the pick that took him. Later BS will fall in love with Kevin
"That freakin maryland guy"
This is how BS refers to KH
30:40 for draft
The podfather in the buildin!!
If anyone, the original podfather would be Ricky Gervais
But Bill is pretty good too
Bill was right about everyone except for the SGA slander, pretty good.
Bill was so spot on lmao
Watched the NBA Draft on the big screen and hung out with The Ringer crew on the second screen. This was great, I hope you guys keep doing stuff like this 👍
Mo bamba is gonna get to work there maybe sooner lmao
@@SargentPeppers7 they just got Wendell we’ll see
This aged very well Bill 2:54:05
One of your most viewed and most popular videos and you didn't bring it back?? Come on guys this seemed like a layup and ya GOOFED it
and today you had a weird grouproom thing on spotify that maxed out at 1500 concurrent viewers. not surprised but for sure disappointed.
It's unfair to judge opinions from this long ago, but the chat for this livestream hasn't aged well.
Right off the bat;
"Luka is good be now he’s overstated he’s not a perrenial all star type player at all"
"He’s a solid pro and a starter for sure but people acting like he’s Larry Bird"
@Jason Battle, Those are some rough ones buddy
I'm a Slovenian and I didn't think he's gonna be a superstar.Perrenial all-star sure but not a top 3 player in the league type of player
@@full6330name You wrote this 11 months ago and he's already a superstar, has been one for several seasons. At the moment he's probably the 3rd best player in the league behind Jokic and maybe Giannis. Perhaps Tatum too? Easily top-4 in the league right there.
these fits Bill better than any other nba show he had previously, everyones got freedom to say their minds...
Bill at 52:51 was actually dead on lmao.
hes the greatest basketball mind of our generation
You could post all the times KOC was dead wrong but you’d run out of space
Kevin Clark absolutely dying inside after that Mo Bamba take because he knew Bill was right
I love this format and I think they should go back to it. That being said, KOC'S grade of D for Trae Young and B+ for Kevin Knox surely haunts him to this day
Tate Frazier always looks like he feels quite pleasant
How about when they steamroll Tate Frazier on the Bagley analysis? He is visibly upset that Kevin O'Connor, who has the face but not the voice for radio, decides to take the reigns on analyzing a guy who Frazier has been watching up close all year.
@@TurnerSparks This aged well
Watching a legend like Bill Simmons have to listen to all these kids' unfunny jokes is painful.
Watching this knowing Doncic is one of the best players in the League at 21 years old lmao It was so fucking obvious
Here for Tjarks... RIP
I’d love it if the ringer could have another nba draft watch party this year now that we’ve almost defeated covid.
KOC and Bill have always been the goats at the ringer
It’s hilarious to hear all the concern about if Luka will fit with Dennis Smith Jr. 😂 A few years later Dennis is struggling to stay in the league.
That's why you take the best guy. You can always trade or release the guys who don't fit.
Do this again this year Bill
The Suns still need a defensive minded Point Guard, or just decide to make Devin Booker the PG and have the lineup look like this:
PG - Devin Booker
SG - Josh Jackson
SF - Mikal Bridges
PF - Dragan Bender or Marquese Chriss
C - DeAndre Ayton
With the bench having a handful of these guys:
TJ Warren F
Tyler Ulis PG
Elie Okobo G
Jared Dudley F
Troy Daniels G
George King G/F
Brandon Knight G
Tyson Chandler C
Alec Peters F
Alan Williams C
Davon Reed G/F
?Elfrid Payton G?
Also the Suns should have taken De'Anthony Melton or Jevon Carter intsead of Elie Okobo.
No wingspan measurements?
57:00 best moment, Bill destroying KOC on Mo Bamba
I love how they all go to KOC’s grades and he is literally just the opposite of reality. It’s impressive bc it’s almost impossible to be THAT wrong for 3 hours
"the Bagley Ones" LMAO
I’m watching this at the end of the season and I’ll I gotta say is they must be regretting all the Young jokes
Not really Luca is still better. And the DAL pick didn't end up worth that much anyway .
Young couldn't gaurd me an I suck
3:07:30 is awesome lol KOC
Dude fix the mic!!!!!! How do u guys not know this is happening
Why is there constant static?
These are the successful tweeters
“I think Knox is better than Michael Porter. I really do”-KOC
To be fair, the Knicks back then would destroy any talent
Also I’m really feeling Bills shoes in this
obviously the trae young slander here has not aged well, but the zhaire smith for mikal bridges trade, and KOC subsequently giving zhaire smith an A- is hilarious
Eh
The should be doing this every year!!! Come on Ringer!!
2 Rules for covering the NBA for The Ringer:
1. Always give hot takes.
2. Always be wrong.
3. Be woke
4. Don’t be black
Jim 83 you obviously haven’t watched the recent pods , plus you’re white
Needed shea
What is the name of this intro track? Solid instrumental but not a "Shazamable" song to identify the audio.
Who watching in 2021

I like this but my internet is expensive so I can’t watch the whole thing

@52:51 Bill Simmons with the correct predictions :D
KOC with the incorrect predictions (time is the entire video)
RIP Tjarks ❤
this Magic fan is so bleak. Bamba at 6 is amazing. there were no other guards to take, I'm fine with taking the best guy available.
Izaak they should shop out Vuc, such a logjam in that front court, build around Bamba and AG
+Corey McDevitt For sure I just don't think there's much of a market for Vuc. Don't forget about JI too!
tbf, Sexton was available, but I agree that Bamba isn't a bad pick. Could always trade for Rozier or something if desperate for a guard this year or just wait for the lottery next year.
He's mostly a football writer for the Ringer that is from Orlando and supports the Magic.
This didn't age well, lok
Mo Mamba is not going be out of the league in 3 years WTF.
Thon Maker is in the league, but no one would call him a top 6 overall talent in a deep draft.
MO BAMBA IS GONNA BE A STAR IN THE LEAGUE. THE PLAYER HE WAS IN COLLEGE IS NOT WHAT HE IS NOW. IN JUST A COUPLE MONTHA HEA TRANSFORMED HIS GAME INTO A GOOD SHOOTER. HES KEVIN GARNETT WIT MORE RANGE. BOOK IT

Adding faces to the voices, made me realize I've been listening NBA Buzzfeed...
What is Kat Williams doing there
Back when The Ringer loved Benn Simmons
52:50 hell yeah bill
Teams are gonna kick themselves that they let a top 3 pick fall all the way to a team that missed the playoffs by 1 game (MPJ to Nuggets)
wharmon only if he ends up being pretty great, if he's just solid/good, no shame in exercising caution...unless you're the Knicks, hornets or magic who are basically playing w/ house money next year and could've used the flyer on MPJ for the potential upside value.
Still would have been a good decision to pass. You don't take that risk when you need talent that will stay on the floor

Kevin’s time as a Trae Young hater go way back 😂😂😂😂 dude always wrong when to come to demon Rayford
Y'all, love the content but it's a bad look that the one woman in the room filled with dudes doesn't have a mic

I was only listening and those the Asian dude was a woman for the last hour and half lol
just had to come back a remember how the ringers always talking shit about Altanta fans
