I’m mad they let Joel get off saying “they haven’t really given Luka anyone” when I could’ve sworn he was saying Christian wood was a all star and on the same level of pascal.
To be fair he’s having a 6MOTY season and he’s doing it on good efficiency with very little minutes if his role and minutes increased + the mavs start winning yea he could be a legit all star. It’ll be hard now though, but his take about wood and luka playing off each other has aged like wine.
Watched every NBA episode since Feb.. You guys have an incredible show and perfect chemistry.. You guys are too good together naturally and I think if you do more guests they should either be in studio with you or only on for a couple topics as opposed to the whole show.. Keep it up fellas!
Big MUUH fuckiiiin DRUUE 😂turnt me up on that AD convo bro really changed from the early 300 views days and for the better, cuz riv ain’t a easy guy to debate with 👏
Honestly yes, we’d need to get the record better tho, as a Laker fan we just need consistency and aggressiveness from em bro frfr that’s all we need of him including his skill set of course.
Being a car guy and love watching NBA and y’all’s podcast. The Nissan 370Z is a dope car. There’s so many cars to choose from. But hey Joel. You gotta go check out the new Nissan 400Z
I find it funny how the media praises Luka every chance they get but they would trash Harden, calling him "selfish, ballhog" even though they have the same play style and the team is built around them
@@vincentemireles3794 Bro what ? 😂 What has Luka won tho ? And if you're talking about clutch situations and game winners then Harden has had plenty of those in his career too.
@@joshuacezere I’m a rockets fan bruh harden is good for the regular season n some playoffs series against team that clearly was in our favor but I’m talkin bout being the best player on the floor when it matters the most specifically talkin bout playoffs. Luka got the potential to be the best player against any other player.
29:08 Yes. There have been plenty of teams where the 3 best players are 2 starters and a 6th man going off. It’s just whether you pre-conceived the team as a Big 3 or not. AI, Melo, JR is an example. No one called them a Big 3, but in effect they were for the Nuggets. Manu came off the bench for the Spurs. Harden came off the bench for OKC. Just to name some.
That was my wolves tweet, Joel talked about it quick but with KAT in we have the one of the slowest lineups in the league and they struggle to rotate to 3 point shooters, which is why they give up the most open 3s in the league. With KAT out you still have Gobert at the rim and have a 1-4 more similar to what the jazz ran in previous years with Rudy. 2:23:37
If Nash was in Pop's system he would have been better. Nash as a player clears Parker. I know he had his back issues throughout his career but he was something else. & Kobe probably deserved the MVP for putting up 35/game but Nash impacted winning so much. Watching him those years he was making plays that were crazy. The stats don't do justice to how good he played. Plus back in 04-05 & 05-06 scoring wasn't inflated yet, so averaging 20 pts/game was like todays 30 pts/game. Nash is a top 5 pg of all time imo.
Drew is going down the Skip Bayless/Lebron path with Mahomes I can see it. He hates him personally because he is a Broncos fan, so he is forever gonna be negative about anything to do with Mahomes. Imagine trying to put down and push negativity about someone like Lebron or Mahomes and having to watch them be one of the greatest ever to do it 🤡🤡🤡
Riv 100% right. they trying to pick sample sizes of ADs defense while Draymond has been consistently one of the best defenders in the league. Draymond has won DPOY and last wouldve won it again last year of not out the last stretch. Draymond is that dude. Give him his respect
Riv smart bro said he got kyrie ranked around dame thats a mad solid comparison all time(respect to the possibly the best secondary player to ever play)
The Kristaps “healthy” excuse only works for the 1st year. The second time they played the clippers Luka and Rick ruined him by sticking him in the corner. Not even running actions for him to thrive. That’s why he’s doing good in Washington because they are running a lot of the offense through him
Kristaps is averaging the exact same numbers he did in Dallas with almost the same efficiency as well. He was fine in Dallas he just couldn’t stay healthy. The Clippers playoff series KP could not play against the long wings thrown at him by Ty Lue. Carlisle tried with him early in that series.
riv gotta be the host now 😂 Joel looses more and more credibility every episode.. love the pod but wasn’t Joel sayin how complete the mavs are with Cwood?😂now luka has “ nothing “
On the Bucks Lakers game, it's a bigger result for Lakers than it is the Bucks. Bucks have had a lot of injuries this year and that was Middleton's first game back. LA are clearly feeling themselves rn so that was a good win for them but doubt Bucks care much. Also please don't start the comparisons between AD and Giannis, Giannis is the best player in the league, I'm not putting AD up there when he's on a hot streak give it a season or two of this
Man AD been hoopin recently😂💯🔥. But I gotta say, 27:30: Giannis is still a very good perimeter defender in terms of opponent shooting numbers, other stats, and technique(tho he has some technical shortfalls on defense tho). he’s somewhat overrated on the perimeter fasho but still and yes he’s better at help defense tho, he just doesn’t get to go out on the perimeter as much due to the Bucks system. It just so happens AD was on fuckin fire that night, so nothing could be done, it happens bruh lmao. But shoutout to AD, bro been hoopin the last 3 weeks.
the first step isn't always a zero step, only sometimes. most of the calls were clearly travels. honestly if you can look at the warriors travel calls and not think most are travels I seriously question your knowledge of the rules of basketball
To argue Joel’s point about a big 3 not ever having someone off the bench. I would say that the mavs big 3 when they won the title had Jason terry in the big 3 off the bench. Same with manu on some of the spurs teams. If one of your big 3 is your 6th man it’s not a bad thing. They help run the second unit while starters are resting
The Steve nash slander was disrespectful! Nash clears Parker wtf 🤬 I hope that was just chatter smh Respect the two mvps 😤 top 10 PG arguably top 5 all time
On behalf of the Pelicans, Joel needs to apologise for saying they would fall out of the 8 in the west a couple episodes ago. Without I doubt I know they’ve played way better than anyone imagined. Outright second in the west, just beat the Nuggets and top 3 in defence is crazy impressive for a team we’d hope would be an average defence at best
Pelicans 1st in the west right now after having injuries to all our stars and we’re still winning with a great defence. Joel needs to be less casual on his takes about the Pelicans but I’m not surprised. Everyone else is good
Joel you had the Kings making the playoffs and everyone was clowning you, you’ve got to speak on them it’s been 20 some games they are starting to feel legit. Also speak on your wood take he’s 6MOTY convo with good efficiency but Jason Kidd hates him for some reason and he just never gets any burn.
Bro thats crazy I remember seeing the dude with dreads in college. Small fucking world. Is there a call portion of the podcast? I can cause controversy debate with hoops. lmk
current luka vs 07 lebron take is missing 1 thing. the competition that lebron had in the eastern conference in 07 was easier than lukas current competition in the west😂
Joel. Go read backpicks article on nash. Literally one of the most valuable players of all time and arguably a top 5 offensive player of all time. Deserved his mvps too. Probably should have gotten 3 in 07.
Joel, Steve Nash led the #1 offence 11 years in a row. Kobe didn’t deserve that MVP he wasn’t even top 3 in voting. He wasn’t a weaker MVP than Derrick Rose. Dude talk about rings meanwhile you’re a Harden fan
"We already know that KD is the best, so we are not going to give him MVP" 😂 "Instead we will give someone else who we haven't seen consistency from but we are waiting to see if he will in Devin Booker" What!? 😂🤦🏾♂️ So when KD is playing trash he is overrated and then when KD is playing the best basketball in the league shooting over 60% from the field, he is too amazing to be MVP 😂😂😂

I’m mad they let Joel get off saying “they haven’t really given Luka anyone” when I could’ve sworn he was saying Christian wood was a all star and on the same level of pascal.
This is why i don’t pay Joel any attention anymore he’s the biggest hater/hypocrite
@sld3577Yeah JKidd is tripping
TALKKKKK
ooo good point i completely forgot about thay
To be fair he’s having a 6MOTY season and he’s doing it on good efficiency with very little minutes if his role and minutes increased + the mavs start winning yea he could be a legit all star. It’ll be hard now though, but his take about wood and luka playing off each other has aged like wine.
Let’s go I needed sum to watch while I wait for the NFL Games
W comment. I been waiting on this one AD been going crazy
Can I just thank y’all for coming in clutch while I was looking for one of these podcasts to listen to today while at work😭 that’s a W
I know y’all definitely sparked up before this podcast 😂💯
“You talking about 20 games you got it”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Riv
As a football guy and a basketball casual I look forward to every podcast , y’all keep me open minded and I appreciate it keep up the good work
Watched every NBA episode since Feb.. You guys have an incredible show and perfect chemistry..
You guys are too good together naturally and I think if you do more guests they should either be in studio with you or only on for a couple topics as opposed to the whole show.. Keep it up fellas!
Shoutout the AD 55 right after this pod 😂😂
Big MUUH fuckiiiin DRUUE 😂turnt me up on that AD convo bro really changed from the early 300 views days and for the better, cuz riv ain’t a easy guy to debate with 👏
intro made me do a whole break in the gym😂😂 the car stories were hilarious
AD has been a legit MVP caliber player this year.
Honestly yes, we’d need to get the record better tho, as a Laker fan we just need consistency and aggressiveness from em bro frfr that’s all we need of him including his skill set of course.
13 seed nah
@@kylin5902 true, but they gonna hit 7th seed soon
He just dropped 55 and 17
Should’ve called this the ‘Pick a player who’s not as good as AD’ the riding for him is crazy
started listening for about 3 weeks now respect to what yall are doin. where do i go to ask questions for the pod???
Twitter! @pickasidepod
Being a car guy and love watching NBA and y’all’s podcast. The Nissan 370Z is a dope car. There’s so many cars to choose from. But hey Joel. You gotta go check out the new Nissan 400Z
I will check it out. Thanks!
I find it funny how the media praises Luka every chance they get but they would trash Harden, calling him "selfish, ballhog" even though they have the same play style and the team is built around them
Facts
Difference is luka could actually win when it matters harden never had dat in him.
@@vincentemireles3794 Bro what ? 😂 What has Luka won tho ? And if you're talking about clutch situations and game winners then Harden has had plenty of those in his career too.

God please, let AD stay healthy. I love watching this version of him
29:08 Yes. There have been plenty of teams where the 3 best players are 2 starters and a 6th man going off. It’s just whether you pre-conceived the team as a Big 3 or not. AI, Melo, JR is an example.

The rule for the zero step is u have that zero step if both hands aren’t on the ball having full possession
Low key I love the dead air💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everytime I hear the intro song, it reminds me of how Riv used to do the air guitar 😂
"Would you tell me where the brakes are if I drive your car?" You ain't drivin my car😂😂😘
1:43:26 " i dont appreciate you being a ni- you nitpicking 😂. bro that almost went wrong.
I thought riv had a crazy car, come to find out my guy can’t drive 😂
the AD disrespect is crazy
I love this channel bruh😂
Amazing podcast

Talk that talk drew we coming for that play in 😤😂
Ayo 54:50 no way y’all let drew get away with that💀 Joe Harris can do WHAT??
Riv 100% right. they trying to pick sample sizes of ADs defense while Draymond has been consistently one of the best defenders in the league. Draymond has won DPOY and last wouldve won it again last year of not out the last stretch. Draymond is that dude. Give him his respect
Draymond is not better then AD defensively
It feels like Joel is setting drew up talking abt the lakers like that. Specifically AD
Bro said name a big 3 that someone didn’t come off the bench brother inarguably top 3 big 3 of all time in Duncan Tony and Manu.
Yall on cloud 9 for this one?
For the Lakers fan host. Are you taking Tatum or Booker offensively?
Riv smart bro said he got kyrie ranked around dame thats a mad solid comparison all time(respect to the possibly the best secondary player to ever play)
In the future there make self driving cars so I'ma just buy one of those 😂

this show is too great!
been waiting 🎉🎉🎉
“I was doing 100 in a parking lot”😭😭😭😭
Draymond is not in the conversation for best defender ever. Riv needs to stop lol.
riv gotta be the host now 😂 Joel looses more and more credibility every episode.. love the pod but wasn’t Joel sayin how complete the mavs are with Cwood?😂now luka has “ nothing “
Dehls for sure smoked a j before this
Aye tell ‘em drew we beat the bucks full strength😂
I see luka a lot more like harden then lebron
especially at the post-up game I guess!
Congrats on getting your permit Riv!
Now riv saying they shouldn’t feel bad to a “non play off team” beating them
On the Bucks Lakers game, it's a bigger result for Lakers than it is the Bucks. Bucks have had a lot of injuries this year and that was Middleton's first game back. LA are clearly feeling themselves rn so that was a good win for them but doubt Bucks care much. Also please don't start the comparisons between AD and Giannis, Giannis is the best player in the league, I'm not putting AD up there when he's on a hot streak give it a season or two of this
The issue isn’t luka the issue is undoubtedly the Mavs the Mavs have consistently failed to surround their superstar with a legit championship roster
The Spurs big 3 was the only team that had a member of it off of the bench. And the Lakers are built in a similar vein.
Man AD been hoopin recently😂💯🔥. But I gotta say, 27:30: Giannis is still a very good perimeter defender in terms of opponent shooting numbers, other stats, and technique(tho he has some technical shortfalls on defense tho). he’s somewhat overrated on the perimeter fasho but still and yes he’s better at help defense tho, he just doesn’t get to go out on the perimeter as much due to the Bucks system. It just so happens AD was on fuckin fire that night, so nothing could be done, it happens bruh lmao. But shoutout to AD, bro been hoopin the last 3 weeks.
“Gang I didn’t know where the brake was” nigga huhhhh😂😂😂
the first step isn't always a zero step, only sometimes. most of the calls were clearly travels. honestly if you can look at the warriors travel calls and not think most are travels I seriously question your knowledge of the rules of basketball
Ayo Riv got that drip
In NY but boom says I can’t deposit really like this long shot I have
Just to point out Manu Ginobili was a bench player that was big 3
I thought I got my L late at 18 damn Riv😂 congrats though the freedom of driving is unbeatable
Man I got my license at 18 and I thought I was a failure at life lol shout out riv for getting that
To argue Joel’s point about a big 3 not ever having someone off the bench. I would say that the mavs big 3 when they won the title had Jason terry in the big 3 off the bench. Same with manu on some of the spurs teams. If one of your big 3 is your 6th man it’s not a bad thing. They help run the second unit while starters are resting
The only thing wit AD is that he gotta be more aggressive wit the 3 casue it would unlock another level for him but also for the lakers
Aye yo riv 😂😂😂😂
Joel going to be the reason the players don’t count these guys as “new media”
Joel literally makes the show 10x funnier tho he trolls and plays devils advocate
@@JLuciano but his takes are awful and he switches sides like nobody else
Just in time to kill time at work
The Steve nash slander was disrespectful! Nash clears Parker wtf 🤬 I hope that was just chatter smh Respect the two mvps 😤 top 10 PG arguably top 5 all time
Jo- “steve hasnt won a championship.”
Riv- “…mmm okayy? Fucking knicks havent won in 40 years.”
Bro said Brunson playing at an all star level twice 🤣🤣🤣
Kith hoodie is hard
Riv be high asf doing these pods ik it lmaooo
Dehls game 79 of the season : “this stretch from AD isn’t gonna last much longer “
At some point u have to admit it’s not a stretch and AD is HIM
🤣🤣🤣
On behalf of the Pelicans, Joel needs to apologise for saying they would fall out of the 8 in the west a couple episodes ago. Without I doubt I know they’ve played way better than anyone imagined. Outright second in the west, just beat the Nuggets and top 3 in defence is crazy impressive for a team we’d hope would be an average defence at best
Pelicans 1st in the west right now after having injuries to all our stars and we’re still winning with a great defence. Joel needs to be less casual on his takes about the Pelicans but I’m not surprised. Everyone else is good
Episode 234 is 2hr 34 mins coincidence
Peak PG was top 3 MVP don’t forget
Joel you had the Kings making the playoffs and everyone was clowning you, you’ve got to speak on them it’s been 20 some games they are starting to feel legit. Also speak on your wood take he’s 6MOTY convo with good efficiency but Jason Kidd hates him for some reason and he just never gets any burn.
the Steve Nash disrespect is crazy
Riv high as shit 😂😂😂
Dhels too😂😂
Steve Nash took a 20 win team and took them to the WCF with no other additions. He deserved ag least 1 mvp
Draymond top 5 defender all time is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard bro.
Riv looks faded lmao
Drew just needs to calm down he wines all day 😂😂
Bro thats crazy I remember seeing the dude with dreads in college. Small fucking world. Is there a call portion of the podcast? I can cause controversy debate with hoops. lmk
W TH-cam CHANNEL
55/17/3 22/30fg After this podcast A.D. Put some spect on that MAN
Lol I can't wait for the next pod. Drew fr about to take ad over giannis now lol
Luka and Ja, maybe Trae Young will all knock Kyrie down to around 15th all time pg
Riv I’d never let you drive my mustang 😂 I picked a safe side 🎉
1:24:28 Riv was not 1 off yall forget to say Steph Curry.
Draymond top 5 Greatest defender ever? Make that make sense...........
Oh nahhhh keep Riv off the roads fam 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Luka has to play like that..players like him and harden need and elite wing to thrive
All luka needs is a efficient wing or guard who doesn’t need the ball to get going n we straight 🙄
current luka vs 07 lebron take is missing 1 thing. the competition that lebron had in the eastern conference in 07 was easier than lukas current competition in the west😂
Joel. Go read backpicks article on nash. Literally one of the most valuable players of all time and arguably a top 5 offensive player of all time.
Deserved his mvps too. Probably should have gotten 3 in 07.
Finally man. I love seeing dbook get his respect he deserves 👏
He doesn’t deserve it tho. His team is full of frauds and he’s one of them. He’s a regular season player and that’s it
Joel, Steve Nash led the #1 offence 11 years in a row. Kobe didn’t deserve that MVP he wasn’t even top 3 in voting. He wasn’t a weaker MVP than Derrick Rose. Dude talk about rings meanwhile you’re a Harden fan
"We already know that KD is the best, so we are not going to give him MVP" 😂 "Instead we will give someone else who we haven't seen consistency from but we are waiting to see if he will in Devin Booker" What!? 😂🤦🏾♂️ So when KD is playing trash he is overrated and then when KD is playing the best basketball in the league shooting over 60% from the field, he is too amazing to be MVP 😂😂😂
I think you guys are awesome I would love to come argue some basketball with you guys sometime
I mean when will people understand luka olays like this cause he got no one who can get consistent buckets for himself or create for others
Herbert literally got fucking obliterated by the raiders front 4
