Julius Randle was the guy that began to bring this franchise back to relevancy. RESPECT.
Exactly he was the one who started this Rise and people want to trade him.
One MILLION percent!! Facts upon FACTS!!
To many fans forget the work he has put in.
the knicks wouldn't be where they are at if it wasn't for the knicks making the 4 seed that year when they lost to the Hawks in the first round
Not bc of julius' injury but i clearly noticed how much we needed him. Guys in the league scared of his physicality. He shouldn't ever be on the block even if its for pg.
hes ass
Derivative ppl searching for a PG heavy for when JB out but he’s not a traditional PG… what they desperately needed was another scoring threat w Randle n JB out
If Randle plays in the Indiana series the Knicks would've swept em
@@swayrodd 💯 76ers were better than Pacers except Knicks had OG n Mitch. W OG Knicks went 2-0 v pacers. Randle is on another lvl on offense able to create it on his own a variety of ways.
Proud of JRandle & how far he has evolved in his playing career. Stay strong 💪🏿 and bounce back better.
💯
The other knicks players all got themselves injured to make Randle feel better. What great guys. 😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 bro can’t be the leader of the team Jalen gotta get paid
Goated comment 😂
@@en.4392Tell that to Brady who often made less than his teammates to keep the squad together lol
we he needed them most they waited til the last series to all do there best julius randle impression
We love Julius. People don’t realize how much he brings to this teams chemistry and the respect his teammates have for his connection to Kobe and the Mamba mentality. Rest up beast and no trades Leon!
That’s crazy because I was asking myself “where’s Juls” when he was out and I didn’t see him on the bench
But I get it now. It’s like he couldn’t enjoy the winning because he wasn’t playing and probably blamed himself to some extent for the losses after his injury.
As long as your team has your back. You’ll always be good! 🤴🏿 Randle! Peace be with you
“So I can help what they have already “
Julius can be who he is since Brunson got here , the weight of carry NY be yourself is for generational players only and they gotta have the mentality , randle will come back and be great for us
i have been hard on Julius but i agree he definitely deserves a chance with this team. He's just not a number one option but with this team he can just focus on what he's good at. It's literally the perfect situation for him to succeed as long as he's humble which he sounds like here.
Knickd are stacked cant wait to see everyone play together.
Rest up BEAST!! Come back strong and give them hell kid!! Also, when we're up with little time left, let's sit out and save ourselves for the playoffs!!
You're not on the team buddy 😂
@@brianbadonde9251 neither are you but here you are trying to police peoples opinions on a public forum
I remember a few weeks ago Gil , Shad, Kenyon and B Jennings saying this exact same shit about how his mental would be during his injury and getting back with a team that was successful without you.
He’s about to ball hog and ruin chemistry and yell at teammates on the court if he can’t get the spotlight Jalen has. Watch
@@BigA678just be positive bro we don’t know wat will happen
@@BigA678negative little girl. That was years ago before Brunson…..
@@BigA678 they were 14-2 with him in January …
Emotional unstable post......@@BigA678
This is an incredibly honest and real thing for Julius to admit. And it shows the strength of the team and their connection with one another. Can’t wait for a huge Julius comeback season next year.
You an all star bro can’t wait for you to ball out again.
Randle. JR. WE LOVE YOU BRO. There’s not a real Knicks fan that doesn’t recognize that this winning team started with your all star play a couple seasons ago. And now, even with this new amazing team, we see you dropping 25 and 8 or whatever it is. You had the stride. We need you back and we waiting to give you the ovation you deserve. You’re a knick for life bro. And the squad has your back too. We’ll see you in a few months, repping that orange and blue for the rest of your career we hope. Much love to you and your family, and the amazing Knicks squad we got shooting for the CHIP this year.
Great convo, nothing but respect for all these guys
Just show how much he cares, scared to fall is Real
Making this clear as a Knicks fan: we NEED JR to make a run in 24-25!!!!! Quite simply: he is a FORCE at the four!!
I love Jules man. Family man, good husband, good dad, good man.
Glad he decided to not play. He's a tough dude was worried he'd force it play badly and injure himself worse. Need him back next season
I find so unfair the narratives around Randle only because he had one bad postseason and one being injured. The man is hungry, cares about winning, according to teammates he's amazing team player. There aren't many elite players in the power forward position, give this man some respect!
My favorite knick
Sure hope the Knicks don't even think about moving Randle. He has been there from the beginning of there resurgence and has contributed an awful lot. The team has got a bright future and Julius Randle deserves to be right in the middle of it all. He is a true warrior and will do whatever he possibly could to put up a W .
Great episode ✔️❤️🏀
A good show.❤
A lot of maturity Julius real talk👏
The Knicks were 14-2 with Ju post trade . Actual fans know what’s what.
This team needs julius. Period. But especially the way he was playing in December/january.
A bruising 24/10 with a team mentality. Bring him back into the chemistry. It’ll be a give and take but the ceiling is high for this group. Go julius. Go Knicks.
Julius, we need you, and we gonna win, Ju. We gonna win ! And you gonna help us get there. We need everything you got. We gonna fuckin win ! Trust ! We gonna win !
Respect
If only Juluis could have made it back, there is no doubt (and I am not a betting man), there is NO doubt we would have won. Come back strong Julius, next year is ours
Yeaa had the pieces fallen we would have won the chip
Listening to Julius at the Finals and listening to him now, he knows what the Knicks gotta do, but once he gets used to the contact on that shoulder, fans will be in for a treat. He has to show that bully game and be able to hit the three other players fear that Julius Randle ... Julius is one of those players that goes at anybody no matter how big they are. Joel knows what's up!!
When Julius made the decision not to come back I KNEW he was hurting bad. Not just physically but emotionally. That dude is TOUGH, so for him to say he couldn't go, I never questioned it one bit. And I KNEW it was tearing him up inside because he's a guy who gives everything he has on the court. For him not being able to ball out eith the team when they were JUST hitting their stride must have been a pretty big pill to swallow. No Diddy. ✌🏾✌🏾
Question. As a player that’s injured can you still participate in a mentor role during practices, and film review? Because if it were me, I would attempt to confide in Thibs and learn even more of what’s going on and how the system and culture is evolving through my absence.
A lot of people are too prideful for that.
Get better JR… need that bully ball strength nxt season and that rebounding.
Melo will always be my favorite Knick..❤
No disrespect to Melo because he was a good player but he didn't make players around him play better. He was out for himself, where as the Knicks of today are about WE and not I.
Get healthy JR next year could be special if we can stay healthy .
If healthy this team can beat Boston man.
😂😂😂
Maybe Boston without Tatum and Brown
@@BigA678 👎🏿
@@BigA678Boston still go cold a lot. They are beatable
Yeah, this team, if healthy, can probably beat Boston in a Game . But, in a 7 Game Series, can They Beat Boston Four Times, if Boston is healthy? HELL NO!
Wool socks will give you the best dreams of your life
JULIUS HAS ACTUALLY TAKEN DISCOUNTS AND TEAM FRIENDLY deals that’s the first and biggest sign of someone who wants to REALLY win. I hope the knicks see how important he really is and not trade em or anything. Julius needs to fit in as well and play well but they gotta give em a fair chance. Other players all claim they wanna stay with a certain team and that they wanna win but then they leave for more money else where. The most recent example from a long list: Paul George.
This is why I changed my thoughts on Julius and why the Knicks absolutely need him. He's going to come back strong next season because he sees where this team is headed and they know to get where they want to go he has to play. All this nonsense talk about trading him is the dumbest no nothing shit I've ever heard. No one can give them 24pts 10rb and 5asts a game and he gives them a toughness they were lacking in the playoffs especially against the Pacers. They need him to be Julius next season and if he's fully healthy we can make the NBA Finals.
Honestly randle is a dog i dont understand the hate he gets, he may not be a 1A but that bully ball was missed in playoffs
I still feel like Julius is one of the best basketball players in the NBA today. The whole entire playoffs I knew we needed RANDLE.. we would've had a better chance if we had RANDLE although I'm convinced if nothing happened to anonoby we would've won at least the ecf.
Jaime doesn't strike me as a dirty player, but Miami is definitely a dirty AF team.
I've seen that play a few times. That was on Randle. Up 20 late. Instead of running clock and getting out with the W, Mr. 24/9/5 had to fluff his stats before he got taken out of the game. Jaime was a touch late going for a charge. It's not like he did some Embiid type ish.
@@Michael_Pageyou should never take a charge that was late down damn near 20 points wit 4 minutes left Jaime isn’t dirty but he sure is stupid randle is just going for an open layup before he stupidly scurries his feet over
@@limeian399 Nah. Can't tell a young player who is losing not play hard. Randle was trying get his stats before he got pulled. Just an unfortunate basketball play. I'd cettainly want Knicks' players still trying to win down less than twenty with 4 minutes left.
Randle is without question a polarizing player, but you're simply just a hater if you don't show this man some love.
I'll say this - A Lot of people are saying to trade Randle
I say no. This guy came to NY to build NY. He came here so we could get players like Brunson, hart and start a path to a ring and compete.
Yes the team did great without Randle but imagine an available Randle in the Pacers series? We would have easily won and Randle is an iron man player too in most seasons.
A fully healthy squad is gonna come back ready. We have a deep team and so we can't run them into the ground
Love it Randall, you'll be back for the season to start. We wait for you to come back. We needed to last year. For we missed you last year at the g. Randdaughthat's s***, big random see a lot of people don't give Randolph. Creditbrother, you know, everybody wanna bash. Randolph fans won the bass random. But without Randolph, we don't win. You say a Randolph was at the playoffs that yet last year we were the one we're to beep in the Indiana, as we went to games up on now and couldn't win through it.But when randolph of randolph was there we would be in indiana
def missed randle his scoring and bully ball in the paint with him healthy knicks def a juggernaut in the east. imagine mitch randle anunoby bridges and brunson as a starting lineup is 🔥 and bench is crazy too. bring that ring to NY 😤
Melo is being sensitive, ICO was a big part of the game, the beloved difference and need was the ones who could pass out of the ICO sometimes to take advantage of the double and tripple teams.
it was the also what made floor setters like Magic, Stockton, Price, and then Kidd then CP3 so important, cause they naturally moved the ball to get everybody on the floor with them in there scoring rythm and enrgized to play both ways and to be on the move on the O' side instead of standing around waiting for a play call, waiting to R, or waitng to get the ball for an ICO.
It was on this side of the 2000's when more PG's inspired by Kidd, and training in college, inspired by whoever hired Rod Strickland as an asistant. And also read and react coaches, they demanded easy basketball, meaning pass to the open man, D hard, get out on the break as much as possible, ball and body movement in the half court.
Melo was getting burned cause when he wasnt on a scoring team, he would just ICO play after play, and wouldn't DO ANYTHING ELSE 🤷🏾♀️ So the announcers would burn um, when we srill had real reporters and analysist, they would burn um cause he wouldn't do anything else, and wouldn't get anybody else off with two and a third D man attending to him.
See, this is the problem with all of this podcasting ####, celebrities get to write the storyline of thetr choice, and nobody is fonna xhallenge them, like this episode.
And lets be real, Melo was became horrible in NY, he would work a tripple team out on the elbow, with all those open men on his side. But e was the legend among a bunch of young players, and he use to buy um s##t. writting his own narrative 🤦🏾♀️
We winning it all next year
The episode i wanna see is lala
In the end, it couldve been for the best. JR has a huge role, he’s AS 1B of a contender that’s huge. Or be Melo n have scrub squad going nowhere. As 1st option his team wasn’t contending
Random why do you got crates holding the table?
I feel like if randle Robinson and even boban we would’ve made a surprise finals appearance and lost to the mavs
Randle is a match up nightmare to small he is going to overpower you to big he can blow by you l just hate he has to work on rehab this off-season instead of working on his game
If we had Randle in the lineup in the playoffs. Hands DOWN!! We would've made it to the Finals.
With Mikal on the team now, if they can keep OG i don't see Randle not being shipped aswell
All NBA Randle coming
Just pass the ball!! No Carmelo shit 😂😂
Randle gotta understand that he’s the 2nd option and Brunson is #1 option!!
Melo is always worried about getting the credit. This is why he never played D. He was more worried about scoring.
Now Mikal is there what is their five
JB, Mikal, OG, Ju ,seems like ihart might resign if not then Mitch Rob
Hope they keep Randle
From a leadership standpoint, I'm disappointed in how much he made his injury about him and what he couldn't bring to the team physically... Looking back at Giannis on the Bucks sidelines, coaching, yelling, and giving guidance is what you were supposed to do as a teammate and a leader. He's a champion and he can do it so what's your problem???? Being present and giving knowledge, coaching, showing up, being proud in the moment, of your guys doing well, would've meant more than you playing and having your best games ever on the court...I saw the games you did attend and you had a cara de caca the whole time... RBF... this interview really cements how I feel about him on the Knicks roster... As great as he is, if his mind isn't right, he's a liability for us... the success of the team has everything to do with your attitude, whether you are on the court or off the court... Your positive attitude would've been better for health than a negative one... If your mentality doesn't change, you are going to be a problem...
The bucks team was losing with him out, it’s like with the pacers without Halliburton he rushed himself back even when the team looked better without him and for the longest time everyone was saying he fell off hard it’s at least not with kd and the warriors with his own teammate saying they won without him but he can hear the outside noise and no way you can feel comfortable with it, and Giannis at least believed there was a chance he could come back and help the team, Giannis was allowed to think if I come back imagine just how good we could be, until the pacers series it wasn’t all that clear just what a force we were missing with randle
Man shut up
Gil got the best sports podcast, Melo you need other players but they gotta be funny like Jeff Teague
These guys are making millions upon millions of dollars. Please...
They play better without him
Send him to packing
Randle is the most selfish person in the entire world bro i stg
He is everything the Knicks don't need.....no defence ,black hole on offense,and always comes up short against good teams in big moments . Basically the chip they can use to keep Hartenstien .
Dude make me breaking my house jiri prochazka had the worst injury in shoulder history and came back before a year was over and now challenges the champ again and that's real fighting. Julius gotta go just excuses is all I hear
Randle all due
I hated the younger you on the lakers hated …
But past few years you got you’re game together you looked better played better 🫡
I no longer hate you 🫡🫡
He's always had star potential, most people just were blind to it, because it didn't look pretty. I was one of the few Laker fans that saw it, and I predicted he'd make 10 all-star games, because he's got a very rare combination of speed, ball handling, physicality, and touch around the rim. Luke Walton and his politics is why we couldn't get this Randle on the Lakers. Matter fact, one year we did get this version of Randle for 4 months after Christmas break, because everyone got injured, and Luke had no choice but to give Randle minutes and touches. Randle went on to average 24 ppg 10+rpg and 5ast per game in that 4 month span, and only 4 other players at the time were averaging that or better...Westbrook, LBJ, Boogie Cousins, and Aldridge (I think). Even when Julius was cooking, Walton tried to act like BI was the reason Randle could score, and when Lonzo came back, Luke tried to force the Warrior's offense, which is a great offense, onto the Lakers, but tried to diminish Randle to Draymond role, which Draymond is great, but Randle does so much more, and Luke tried to make the scoring run through BI and Lonzo, as if they were Curry and Klay, and we started losing again. So now 6 years later, we see Julius can ball and Luke can't coach, so we know why Julius was held back in LA, because Luke Walton came in with a philosophy that was good, but Luke didn't know how to properly apply it specifically to the Lakers talent, trying to force a square peg into a circle hole.
Randall sucks , never performs in the playoffs . Just Robbing the nba for money
Thibs gotta stop running his players into the ground 😭 bro ain’t learn from what he did to DRose
Melo and Julius are very similar types of people. They just care about the money.
What do u care abt
Explain how Julius only cares about the money......
Which is why he took a pay cut
They dont care about their sons?🤡
@@fahadkhan5721 Never took a pay cut. Knicks paid him more than anybody else offered in free agency after NO let him walk for nothing. Knicks then extended him for the most money allowed under the CBA. Randle would have had to become a full free agent to have a CHANCE to make more money than he got extended for. As we've seen, Randle hasn't ended any season looking like a max player. 2 horrible playoff performances, 2 times falling outside the top 10 in the conference, and once watching his team have more success without him than they ever had with him.
Nobody else in the league trying to pay Randle 30+ million to pretend to be a go to scorer.
This is Jalen’s team now. Randle has to come back knowing that. Or we need to trade him for a supporting role player/second constantly scorer.
Man stop it with the "trade Julius" crap it makes absolutely no sense to trade this man especially when he averages 24 and 9 we were 14-2 when we all players were healthy
Thanks for your useless contribution captain obvious.
No it's not his team they are both All stars it's about winning so your opinion is b.s.
Casual that didn’t watch any games spotted … please stop talking bro 😂😂😂 acting like the Knicks wasn’t winning with Randle 14-2 January stop with the casual media narratives
@@TruthSpeaker4 he talks like Randle has to fall in line or something like it's a gang or else,it's a team sport and new York needs both of them to lead in their own way
J. Randle about to get traded 😅
Four team trade
Randle to Utah
Markkanen to Minnesota
Towns to Phoenix
Durant to New York
Gotta give him credit, he's trying HARD to stay in NY. The fans seem to generally have his back. However, it's pretty clear the team is better off without him. Yes, I'm a Knicks fan. Yes, since the 90's. No, I don't hate Randle. I wish him the best on his journey. However his journey does not include being a Knick and winning a chip. If he opts in to the final year of his deal, he has about 1.5 years left (max) as a Knick. Leon would be a fool to re-sign Randle to the Knicks. He's better off on a bad team where he can still get his empty 25 points and his 30M per year.
Extending Randle would guarantee the Knicks never win a title with Brunson. Randle is not a complimentary scorer. He gets his 24 points by taking a ton of bad shots, avoiding playing defense, and turning the ball over like he's doing it on purpose. And that's when he's at his very best. The pouting when he doesn't get his numbers, the temper tantrums, and choking in the playoffs make him even more of a liability. Randle only cares about getting his numbers. That can work if you are going from a bad team to a mediocre team, but no team has EVER won a title with somebody like Randle on the squad.
The team is NOT better off without him lol The Knicks played their best when the whole team was healthy. Without him there is waaaay too much on Brunson shoulders to generate offense. Idk how you could possibly thing they are better off without him lol 14-2 In January with him playing easily the best they looked the whole season.
@@xswish13xWell, one, Randle only played 14 games in January. The team was 12-2 in those games. Randle averaged 3.8 turnovers in those 14 games, which would have been 3rd in the league.
Randle was not the reason the team did well in January. A weak home heavy schedule and OG Anunoby were the reasons for the hot streak.
12-2 in January with OG and Randle...but the team was 14-2 with OG and NO Randle. Randle, no Randle, didn't matter. The team played well with OG. Randle is just a statpadder who is lucky to play for Thibs and the best NBA fanbase. Philly literally wants to put hands on Tobias Harris for his playoff performances. Randle's playoff performances have been WAAAY worse.
The best season the Knicks have had since Randle got to the team came with him spending the last half of the seasom in street clothes. That's a literal fact. Nobody was talking about the Knicks as contenders until the Randle-less Knicks inspired the NBA world.
Randle, of course, really wants to stay. Where else can he take as many shots as he wants regardless of how many shots he misses, how many turnovers he commits, or how poorly he plays defense? Thibs has allowed Randle to pretend to be a superstar.
Bro is a 30 minute per game mid level exception guy anywhere else. No team has ever won a championship with a player like Randle.
@@Michael_PageYou’re a clown. NBA coaches have voted Randle ALLSTAR THREE TIMES… Clearly they know he helps win
@@Michael_PageMid level exception hahahahaa hes been all-nba twice. So ignorant yet so confident, awful
@@clutch7548 Yet none of those coaches want Randle. Nobody in the league wants Randle. Randle made all star and all nba because he played on a winning team, stayed healthy, and shot the ball a lot. Coach sees 24/9/5 on a winning team and he's going to vote the guy in as an all star.
The thing is, Randle gets his 24 points and 5 assists by being an inefficient statpadder. He shoots below league average from everywhere and turns the ball over a ton. He also doesn't play defense.
The best season the Knicks have had since he became a Knick came with him in street clothes for the last half of the season.
He's also the worst player in NBA playoff history.
Randle doesn’t have a winning attitude…..he has done nothing to be so self absorbed……trade him! 🙏
His teammates dont agree fool. And hes 3x allstar
I hate the way Randle play now I hate is shirt n the way he wear his hate.
every cornball sayin trade this man is 🤡
Every fangirl saying "keep Julius" will be sorely disappointed soon enough. No way he gets re-signed.
