T g g 😅😅😅😅😅. Be t
😮
Thanks for this interview 🙏. America children (black) should be looking up to men like Shane.
Smh..1 interview just eliminated all the hate i had for dude..smh..thats like 20+ yrs of good genuine hate..all down the drain😞..i smiled the entire interview 😢
Why the hate? Laker fan? 😅
@@vongSTAA nah..anti Duke fan
Shane Battier is that type of player any winning team need. The quiet, professional type that has zero ego and brings a lot of effort, smarts and intangibles to complete any championship squad. Glad he gets some recognition for a change. Salute to Shane B!
Q-Rich trying to dap Shane up and Shane just holding his hand every time has me weak 😂
I noticed every time and it hurt every time
Shane one of us tho.
That's something you would expect from a man like Shane lol it's all about being professional even when shaking hands 😂
You shouldn't be bothered by that.
@bennybluprint2330 You shouldn't be bothered by that. You're probably one of those, one of the many who see him not being black enough.
Grant Hill, Shane, etc... Much respect to dudes like this. This is who our children should be emulating
Real talk I love Shane's story being from Michigan as well the city he is from is a very middle to upperclass area made up of Black professionals definitely very inspirational
Hell yeah, well said ✌️.
Not your typical drug-smoking, education-hating NBA guys.
Best Hoops podcast and its not even close. For all the basketball junkies out there. No drama no life shit just basketball i love it. And another banger bye the Knuckleheads family 🔥🔥🙏🏾💯
The fact that they leave drama out (even on-court drama that is basketball related) sets them miles apart from any other sports podcast.
and no woke bs like all the smoke
Nope Gill's Arena got that right now
#facts
@@dolotrees9811yup💯😭
I gotta' admit - this is the 1st time I've watched a full episode in its entirety. Shane Battier has always intriguied me and I found myself curious to see what he was like. Very humble guy! And, great job from Q' and Miles on interviewing him!
I get what you're saying. He seems completely different than most players in the league. With his style of playing and the way he carries himself inside and outside the court he always represented the image of a true professional basketball player.
Same here!
Shane Battier has a voice that makes me think he can get me a really good deal on a new car 😂
😂😂😂
On god
He def look like a finessing used car salesman
Shane is that one lucky player that has nothing to lose on the team yet his role ultimately makes the team 10x bettter
I remember Coach K saying he thought Shane would be President someday after his playing career was over. I’d vote for him! Great episode.
Dude gives me Obama vibes
Id need to hear his thoughts on foreign policy, regulation, etc… Lol. He is a smooth talker though. But I vote based on policy..
YEA that’s krazy cause I was thinking something similar I was saying damn HE Knows the right answer to everything all answers have a positive outcome with learning experiences very very political plus dis Nicah never grew facial hair LOL
Oh 1,000%! K's comment was obviously based not just on his personality but his intelligence, leadership, etc. But also that quote was made when Shane was like 22 years old. Lol. I def need more info now. @@1234VVA
Hated him growing up but gotta respect him now ✊🏾
incredible interview start to finish. Battier talking about any subject has been proven gold
One of the best defenders ever. 🔥
He was definitely a best defender
Facts!
Definition of a 3 and d guy. Pause.
Exaggerating like a mf
@@smonster9807it isn't an exaggeration.
Shane’s a whole nut, SHE’LL be back lmao!!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Shane Battier is ridiculously smart, heard he was one of the first guys who started studying analytics. He wasn't a flashy crazy athletic player but his basketball iq helped him star in his role
One of the few men I have ever seen in my high school days that could guard Kobe Bryant that was a great interview!
Class act. Just watched his Game 7 in the 2013 NBA Finals: 6-8 from 3pt.
Never thought I would sit through a Shane Battier podcast but I enjoyed every minute. Props to the guys for keeping the interview not like an interview but just a casual chat.
The NBA needs more Shane Battier. Intelligent, well spoken, humble, clean cut and professional. Class act.
That era is over unfortunately
I remember that 27 game winning streak.. crazy streak.. they almost caught up to the lakers streak.. and then the Chicago bulls ended that streak that year and that was a good game 🔥🔥
This dude was the ultimate role player. Elite defender and solid shooter. You can always count on him. Every championship team has dudes like this.
Coach K cooking Shane in film session is killing me 😂😂😂
One of the best 3&D players who played their role to perfection. Night in night out guarded the other teams best no hesi. Gave you a 15 piece wing combo too😂
I’m a simple man I see Kobe and I click!
Love this comment! Same!
I love the way Darius Miles asks questions. He looks like he’s hiding a smile, every time 😂
I’m not gonna recommend any guests bcs u guys just top it every time. Love this pod
We need a role player hall of fame 🏆
2013 finals game 7… man Shane was major 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1:21:45 - man... this choked me up a little bit. Starting from maybe 5 years old ...seeing you're different and finding your life's purpose..damn
“Duke Boy”. I get it! 😂. Appreciate the mentality as I got older even more. Duke fan here!
My favorite Duke player. He and Trajan Langdon made me love Duke basketball.
Same here .. the Alaskan Assassin 🔥
Rockets fan here. Loved Shane in Houston by far our best defender! Definitely a slept on Rockets legend 🤘🏾
Ron Artest enters the chat....
Yes sir, Shane had brought that defense every game.✊️
Battier is the reason I became a Duke fan.
Shane was nice in college. He played in a lot of big games made great timely shots. He definitely went hard & this ep is Classic!!!! Salute💯💯💯🏀
I have always liked Shane , and I have always respected him. This interview just Brought me to another level!
Shane could for real start a business teaching these young guys in the league how to conduct themselves. He's a super professional, no ego, does the dirty work and does not complain. Basically the opposite to a lot of current low iq players who value only highlights.
Batty Batty Batty! Enjoyed him so much in Htown. His battles with kobe were legendary. He deserved that 💍
Shane Battier is a Real One...
Shane pops mr Battier gave me my first internship when i was at wayne state university studying civil engineering transportation. A real model of a black man.
Never thought I’d be watching a Shane Battier podcast. Lmao.
Same and the fact it's interesting.
One of my favorite players growing up. Literally always a hand in a face defensive minded player and fun to watch.
He was my favorite player too
Lmaooo shane battier favorite your player???yall definitely didn’t watch basketball
@@Itscashisi hate ppl like you cuz not everybody Favorite player gotta be superstars
Got to meet Shane battier as a kid at a UMiami basketball camp… such a cool dude
He’s remembered highly in Houston! Total class act and great defender and shooter ! 🤘🏽 🚀
since we didnt have social media back then its so nice to get to know all of these players we grew up watching keep grinding yall
This guy doesnt get enough credit. I will admit until he came to Miami i under valued him. Truly a all around guy who embidies professional hardwork and dedication
I didn't see this coming 💯💯🔥🔥🔥
props to Shane. he's a stand up man for real
49:25 I like Darius Miles' reaction there. He's no longer talking because he totally understands organically what that's like.
Facts
For a brief moment he was back in that game scenario in his mind and it felt real
Shane has always been first class professional. Just a clinic on how to conduct yourself in public.
I'm a tar heel fan but got mad respect for this dude
We gotta 💯
One on the all time Duke greats! great interview.
God What a story ive gained so much respect and admiration for you shane bro man_ what a champ at life and on the court the nba needs more humble dudes like you man_👏🏾💯🔥🏀
Props for Shane to give Q Rich his flowers. Q Rich had game & swag. #Knuckleheads
Rarely watch videos over 1hr long but this i watched. Nice
3 humble dudes. So likable.
Only Shane Battier would, in 2023, describe Duke-UNC as the Hatfields and the McCoys :)
I thought he was gonna be soooo good, especially after his rookie year- Btw, I was a grizzlies fan back then bc of J-Will. Shane was pretty good-
This my childhood best interview of the year
right? Shane Battier was an era
Great interview. Underrated baller fo sho! Just like I thought he'd be.... Just as cool as corny but genuine and a hard worker. Salute
GOAT role player 🙌🏽
GREAT Interview!!! Shout out to Shane!!!
Before he changed his game his early days in Memphis his was a bucket 🪣 him Jason Williams Pau Gasol one of my favorite teams to watch
1 of those interviews I never knew I needed!! I remember when Shane came to talk to the hoopers at Wayne Memorial in either 97 or 96 when we were headed to states!! Cool dude!!!
That’s a dope story!
Another great episode. Yall just keep raising the bar! Love it!!
Shane Battier looks like president, colonel, chemist, teacher, and yo friend. He just got that aura!
Great interview. Respect Shane.
First-time listener here: You guys ask great questions and listen well. Great timing, great flow. Very impressive!

I remember my teacher talking about his games back whenever I was was in middle school and he was in college
You gotta love Shane Battier 🫡💙🦾🤙🏾☝🏾
Good to hear his story. We all know Shane was straight laced but didn't know he was a funny dude!
Duke legend
I'm definitely a UNC guy; but I've always had a respect for Shane as a player. I always knew he would be a solid pro. 💯
He, Grant Hill, Elton Brand, and Corey Magette are the only cats who made it tough to hate Duke. Coach K was getting some game changing recruits back in the 90's.
Facts I use to say Shane is an all star without the high numbers but he impact the game like an allstar got superstar jordan calls and was the ultimate star in his role
This is my favorite basketball podcast!!!!!!!!
Low key legend on and off the court
Great show
Definition of Heat culture
One of the first basketball players to ever do podcast.
One of the most underrated Duke players of all time.
Been waiting to hear some stories from battier he’s a winner
Dude's list of accolades on Wikipedia almost needs its own page 😮
Y’all got to get Corey Maggette on here💯💯
He was the first episode
Shout-out Shane "bang-bang" Battier one of my favorite heat players
