- We have a packed episode of The Old Man and the Three this week! JJ and Tommy open the episode by discussing Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, and the Denver Nuggets’ dominance in their second round series against Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns, and the Minnesota Timberwolves after being down 0-2. Then, they open up the mailbag to answer listener submitted questions about: what Cleveland Cavaliers should do looking ahead to their offseason with Evan Mobley, Donovan Mitchell, and Darius Garland; Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Isaiah Hartenstein, the New York Knicks and their series against Tyrese Halliburton and the Indiana Pacers; some of the best playoff atmospheres JJ has announced games and played in; PJ Washington’s emergence on the Dallas Mavericks as a third option for Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving; and more. Then, New Orleans Pelicans young star Trey Murphy joins to discuss his offseason, what makes Jalen Williams, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the Oklahoma City Thunder so great, and what it was like playing the Wolves defense this season. He also discuss the next face of the league and the depth of amazing teams in the Western Conference. They close out the episode drafting jerseys of historical figures that they would wear. Let’s go!

Trey Murphy is so damn good on here, just a natural.
he's so funny, great chemistry with JJ and Tommy
41:48 "OKC thunder beat Dallas last night in game 1... they swept you guys"
"Alright" LMAOOO
Trey's got a great sense of humor
JJ so competitive he tried to out-civil rights Trey 😂
Oh this will get me through my shift at work 🙏
Facts
This will get me through my shift at my feeding station with baby.
Same lol
Gettin me through rn haha
If you get to work for 90min a day...
Trey seems really chill. Hope bro goes crazy next year.
Pelicans have such an interesting collection of talent. Zion-Murphy-Jones to me is the core to build around. Ingram and McConnell should not be on this team past next season if not sooner.
@@traviskrueger9531 I agree and also think picking up an established vet in the off season would be big
@@scopezzbro2458 A center with better defensive game will be huge for them, Hartenstein would be perfect.
“I’m gonna go Jesus”
Nothing on this podcast has ever made me laugh harder😭
What a great gift to wake up to
“He gentrified my plays” reminded me of when Joe Buck gentrified Geno Smith’s quote 😂
Trey is a great foil for JJ. I laughed so hard at the draft
Rudy actually played pretty decent defense, almost every shot was contested, but Jokic is just the most skilled big man ever, BY FAR, period.
Hakeem might have to disagree with you on that. And a few others tbh. Jokic is certainly in the top tier among those greats by to say nobody even comes close is crazy.
@@nathanielknight1838Jokic is on the same level of skill as Hakeem at scoring AND he's got the vision and creativity none other big men had in the past, it's ridiculous. His footwork might not be as flashy as Hakeem's but it's still spectacular
@@nathanielknight1838Hakeem was not as skilled as him
@@GiovanniBalleriniiisn't defense a skill?
Rudy caused jokic no resistance when defending his post up he moved him like he was a kid … Kat and naz have done better
Trey Murphy is definitely one of my favorite players in the league. He seems like a dude you could be friends with.
Love listening to these while I'm working pest control 🔥
100% Gordon is grossly underestimated. He is a stand out talent, and as far as i can tell a damn fine human to boot. Get more guys like that in the league.
💯 he’s a huge difference maker
Agreed
He's underestimated by casuals that can't see what he does for Jokic. He's done it all year long and it's not until he's primary ball handler dropping 30 ppg of drives to the basket that anyone cares.
The draft is class, Tre is a natural
Derek Fisher is the ultimate Alfred
My Jersey Draft : - Ayrton Senna - Mohamed Ali - Planet Earth with the Earth as number - Nate Dogg - Coubertin for the Olympics 🔥awesome podcast with Trey Murphy, love the guy and the maturity of his words!!
Pels gotta build around zion, trey, herb, and hawk.
Pels gotta concentrate on preventing Zion from eating.
Damn I missed Tommy man…GOATED Tommy Alter episode🐐
Getting to see the personality of the NBA has been pretty awesome. Adds another layer to being a fan of the game. Keep it up. Been down with JJ since my middle school coach put the Perfect Jumper on the rims and made us do JJ Reddick shooting drills.
Horford has gotta be most important Alfred in the playoffs, esp w KP injured. Then Gordon #2. Honorable mentions: Hartenstein and Naz Reid
Important as in: their good/bad games WILL impact a win or loss, not “who’s the better Alfred” necessarily
Trey Murphy funny asl for tht draft😭😭
Great chemistry between all 3 of you guys, the draft had me lmao.
Beautiful timing on the upload 🎉
He’s built like a fire hydrant 🤣🤣
Great rapport w Trey
trey is awesome
Right before i go to sleep let’s go! I love analysis
Tommy can never just ask a question straight up lol
Trey is hilarious bra 😂😂
Never been this early, hopped on yt at the perfect time 🤘
Pick Trey as the official correspondent next season!
May = mornings with JJ ☕️
Such a great show
I’m becoming a fan of Trey just for his draft picks
Draft at the end was all time
JJ in the North Carolina blue BMW hoodie 👀 love to see it
This draft is one of the best/funniest so far. Don't usually enjoy the random drafts but this one was fun.
Top 5 Historical Non-Fiction Jersey Picks:
1. Stone Cold Steve Austin 3:16 / The Rock Johnson
2. Julius Caesar, Roman Jersey
3. King Tut (or Cleopatra), Mummy Jersey
4. Vincent Van Gogh, Painted Jersey in the style of Van Gogh (Starry Night would be sweet)
5. Steven Spielberg
I'd like a draft consisting of only fictional characters, ex: Darth Vader, Predator, Morpheus, etc... I think that would be interesting too.
I love the draft segments...
Nobody picked Bruce lee!!!
I’m a nuggets fan and I wanted the Nuggets to try to get Trey Murphy this year. they drafted Julian Strawther and signed Justin Holiday but Trey is someone that would be an ideal piece
Pretty sure the Pelicans recognized they had something with Murphy that he would have been very costly to try to get. Potential All Stars on rookie contracts are some of the most valuable contracts in the league. Who the Nuggets should have targeted getting from Pelicans was Josh Hart a few seasons ago. Josh Hart and Alex Caruso are the two role guys I would want to have on the Nuggets more than any others in the whole league.
@@traviskrueger9531 definitely. Alex Caruso is also high on my list and Josh Hart is such a high energy guy it’s crazy. Both them are great role players
@@traviskrueger9531 I think someone said Josh Hart is the LeBron of Patrick Beverly’s and I laughed 😂 he’s a ceiling raiser for sure
I don't have any idea how to run a podcast business so please forgive me for this but... Minnesota up 2-0 in the series, comment on that defense is an ooofff moment. It'd be nice if we had this video sooner.
jj is more interesting than his colleges. respect.
how do you grow a mustache in span of couple of minutes? :😂
World History Figures Draft: Cleopatra, MLK, Vlad the Impaler, Malcom X, Ghengis Khan.
Gordon has been amazing for Denver... Braun off the bench was amazing in game 5. Hit good shots, jumped on AE for the double, got nice blocks...
How about Pope grabbing the ball from Joker when they were taking the shot clock violation, so he didn't get a turnover??? Denver is an amazing team.
In this series versus a stacked team, it's becoming more clear how much the Nuggets actually are a one-man show of Jokic.
Couldn't be a non-basketball convo with JJ without a Christopher Nolan reference...
BMW ad must be nice lol
i was at game 3 mavs/clippers it was insane wish we finished tho
my biggest surprise of these playoffs is how competitive its been. even the Celtics Cavs series if they had Donavan i think it wouldve gone to 6 at least. also interesting how theres not really any underdogs this year; all high seeded teams are meeting their expectations so far at least.
trey iz awesome, wut a kool guy
Random thought: Utah should pickup Steven Adams in their rebuild offseason
Jj trying to get at that big CAR youtube money. 2nd channel coming soon! Take me with you JJ. #highcarknowledge
Finally Jj is the first media member to speak the truth. Everybody healthy 4 of the top 6 contenders are in the east Boston Mil Philly & NY miss me with “the easy is weak” we haven’t forgot how trash the best was the previous few seasons
Don't let RJ persuade you, turn your hat back around!
Jokic has everything and more than prior great centers he got a pull up 3 ball Dirk arc release, just sit back and appreciate greatness.
24:00 The Second apron restrictions have been good for the league. The playoffs are more exiting, when the league is balanced..
The nuggets are winning this series with their big men, Gordon and Jokic, and the defensive player of the year can’t stop either of them
JJ please become our Head coach LAKERS WE NEED THIS
Would love to hear your @jjredick comparison of Blake Griffin and Aaron Gordon. Skill set, athleticism, role. You played with him. Put Griffin on Denver's roster (similar points in their careers) ... how do they do? Thank you - love listening to your podcasts
The most important ability is availability. In today's league more than ever. Skill-wise Griffin is a top-10 power forward all time, and would lift the Nuggets' regular season record. But he would be missing in action in the playoffs, so they'd win no rings without a power forward. It's better to have AG.
Griffin could handle the ball and pass, on par with most point guards in today's league. And a vet Griffin was physically the strongest player in every game he played.
JJ remembered he had another podcast
hey jj any thoughts on who the next lakers coach will be?
I think teams know the importance of having Alfred on the team. This is a reason why Alex Caruso drew a lot of interest during trade window. More than any other player on the Bulls team. And i think if JJ Redick becomes HC of the Lakers he might try to get AC back to LA.
Nikola is the M⚔️P 3️⃣
Let’s Go NuGGetS!
When are you going to make a poll so the people can decide who won the draft?????
I've been debating this with friends over the past few years, the biggest discourse between NBA and NFL narratives, I think, is that NBA 1)has a younger audience and 2) Because NBA is younger the fans are more casual, some people only "follow" it because all their friends at lunch or when they hangout all talk about it so to not feel left out or uncool they keep up but maybe not even watching the games more so box scores or follow accounts that report the NBA. There's a large majority of NFL fans who don't even have or use social media and the ones that do are actual dedicated fans who watch every single game (helps that there's only 1 a week and 16 total vs 82 games and multiple within a week), NBA fans care about players more than teams and treat it like a soap opera where they want storylines and drama. I could keep going but the main difference is NBA is more casual and when something is casual you get people who genuinely don't care chiming in because its popular and they want to appear cool or that they aren't the one person who is outside of the group
Bucks were injured throughout the regular season too
I'm the guy who always asks JJ why he h8s AD. Still think he should be our coach. Only if AD is our focal point on offense though 😂
Cmon Tommy😂 1:22:11
I would label different teams "Justice Leagues"(top 7) and their "trinity*(Superman Batman Wonder Woman) over having Alfreds or batman and robins
absolutley
“Joan of Arc was the savior of France”
…
“Shakespeare would’ve been good” 😂
The Eastern Conference was strong until the Knicks, Bucks, Cavaliers, 76ers and Heat were all ravaged by injuries.
Edit: Even Boston has dealt with injuries as Porzingis has now missed six and a half games and counting.
No mention of oracle arena?!
does this guy every see his wife and kids? podcasting plus broadcasting and travel... that better be a rock-solid marriage.
Hahaha JJ's been wearing beemer merch a lot recently - Could see this sponsor coming. Well played guys. Beemer drivers are still the worst though ;)
TREY 🔥
Trey is funny af
It extremely satifiying to listen to the praise heaped onto the Thunder by all media outlets when they getting them cheeks clapped by the Mavs. People sleeping on the Gafford Lively combo, SGA not getting to the rim, or anyone else for that matter. The Thunder lead the NBA in made 3's yet they continue to shoot sub 30% in the series, Mavs D has been clutch. Mavs v Nuggets WCF will be fun.
I think THJ is inexplicably Dallas' third option.
FUTURE LAKERS COACH. Just surround yourself with veteran coaches
Whoo-hoo, so early
The nba is weird with who gets certain calls and who
Doesn’t
Trey has to diversify his game...and get better at handling the ball.
I would have picked ghangis Khan personally
Treyyyyy😂
Haven’t watched yet but the media slamming Rudy when he was a -2 throughout the game, KAT was a -14 and I’m pretty sure mcdaniels was a -17 or something around there. Gobert is doing everything he can possible but jokic is just too good lol
JJ if the Cavs can get LeBron back, can you be our new coach? 😩
Lolololol this dude said a Jesus throwback and thought it was the greatest pick rofl
Great pod
Nuggets gotta play hard to start. If they get kicked in the mouth and lose rhythm it could look different tonight. I don’t see it. I don’t see what adjustments Minnesota is going to make but I’m not thinking it’s a slam dunk for the nuggets quite yet.
The nuggets/wolves series has a game 7 but there's been like 3 blowouts in this series. It's not really a great series tbh...hopefully game 7 will be more compelling to watch
JJ didn’t bring up San Antonio as a great playoff crowd.
I find it interesting that some of the old timers are "scared" that JJ might join LeBron and the Lakers as Head Coach. You know...There is another side too. They CAN WIN BIG! LeBron, the GREATEST of all time is like a coach on the court, and that is one of the reasons I believe he is so great. The Lakers were not blown out by the Nuggets. LeBron and JJ working schematically can overcome these tight games in which just a little more scoring is needed from the supporting cast. IT CAN WORK! Then...What will you ALL have to say??? 🎤

Where’s my sweatshirt
yessir
Chill with all the ads JJ, absolutely ridiculous this episode.
Edison screwed over Nikola Tesla, bad pick JJ
So we just gone let JJ have the stache and not say anything lol 😂
