not great, he was playing below average but I mean like every star is playing below average at the moment so there’s no doubt he would have averaged at least 14 and 6 this season, sad to see him go down like this, such a talented young man who deserves better
For real man like Lavine hasn't lost a step at all plus Fultz game has always revolved around a unique horizontal explosiveness that enables him to cut angles and explode into the narrowest openings.
@@jamesonedwardsii4943 I'm a sixers fan and that absolutely is facts!!! We would of never traded for jimmy butler or drafted a tyreese maxey this year if he was like he was at summer league when we drafted him.
@@ericdollars5040 he honestly was fine on the sixers, when he was playing the point without Ben on the floor he looked fine, he had everything besides the shot. Toxic fans and the team pushing to be contenders was the reason he had to be traded. So happy for him that he’s gonna be flourishing in Orlando
yeah that's why I can never like the 6ers because of the fans man they are so toxic now he is flourishing ( yes they got a solid rookie ) but I still don't like philly
@@erickouz Sixers fans were never toxic towards him 🙄 yall be creating convenient narratives. Literally look at the old footage where we cheered him time in and time out throughout his recovery. We even gave him his own unique cheer. NBA fans and the MEDIA made fun of him. Smh
So sad. My favorite player. I never gave up on him cause I knew once he got healthy he would ball out. He did but now he has another awful injury. Really makes me mad cause I thought this year fultz was finally going to shine and be even better then last season. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery and never has to deal with another severe injury again.
Fultz explaining his insecurities his first year almost brought me to tears. Praying that he has a speedy recovery, damn sure he's gonna have a great career 🙏
This is so dope, Markelle is my same age and I have always been a huge fan. He is so vocal in this podcast and its amazing to see. I cant imagine the pressure you have at 19 years old and having thousands and thousands of people try to ridicule you on the internet. Can't wait to see him return.
If you see this ..Always been a fan of ya game JJ but the more i learn about you on ya podcast I continue to see a genuinely great guy . Appreciate you standing up for people man
@@DaOtisElevator I think it first got f’ed up by some doctor who injected something in his shoulder, but by now he prolly shoulda fixed it himself unless he’s still injured
Markelle is special. I loved when we went and got him #1 in the draft. I hope he has a speedy recovery and happy he found a team right for him. Great kid.
As a Magic fan I remember watching Fultz in the preseason of 2019 against Philly, it was so exciting watching him build his confidence back up. He developed so much in such a short amount of time, he has so much potential and it made me sick to see him injured. I know he’ll bounce back. Rooting for you!
I find Markelle so inspirational, as someone who had a shitty arm injury it took me over a year to be able to touch my nose, his attitude and work ethic is great. and he balls out for orlando he just makes tough shots.
So glad he bounced back from his terrible philly years. He seems more mature and grown up in Orlando now. Growing the dreads now. He's in a better place in Orlando as his new home. Wish him the best!
Haven't wanted a player to succeed more than Markelle in a long time. Absolute killer in HS and College but had a nightmare start to his NBA career. Through all of that he's still managed to be come a really productive player and I know he's gonna come back stronger.
I was enjoying watching this guy find his way and turn into an extremely productive player. Can't wait to see him back on the court, he has the skills to be an all star within a few years
As a Sixers fan I’m saddened to see it didn’t work out here in Philly, but Markelle was making a name for himself finally with Orlando and then this terrible injury happens. Speedy Recovery Markelle Well Wishes
yeah man seeing this video is VERY eye-opening...like i didnt know too much about Fultz but being in Philly around that time everyone was kinda upset he was a "bust" and all the drama and controversy ...its nice to see him and get to know his character and hear his side of that story... he's been ballin...hats off to the Magic for letting him ball out.
Diehard magic fan lived in central florida my whole life. Another god damn ACL injury to our young players, I'm devastated but i cant stop watching the team because i love orlando too much. Im still dead inside
Got my boy Fultz 2 years in a row for Fantasy Basketball. Dude's a stud and a part of the reason why Orlando was doing so well. They need him back asap
I live in Orlando and could care less about the Magic (go Bucks) but that being said, this guy is a humble, very sharp player with some of the best ball handling skills in the entire NBA, he will bounce back and be a very good player for another 10 to 15 years. I'm a fan, he deserves the new contract and a team (and media) that supports him.
Damn ...this was filmed the day before...wow. just Wow. I laughed when he had the yips with that double pump on the free throw line. His career isn't a joke anymore ....it's sad.
@@MrE_ in my eyes a bust is a player like Lonzo. Anthony Bennett. Players who are supposed to be great but it never transitions to the league. Players like Oden, Fultz who actually showed signs of greatness but derailed by injury are just unfortunate.
Same here, if you weren’t one of the toxic fans and you stayed positive, you saw he was a good player when he was leading the bench unit, all he was missing was his jumper
JJs podcast and Up the smoke with Matt Barnes really shows us who these players are. Man they deserve the $$ and fame and all that. But they still ppl man. Always believed in Fultz and he'll get back better. 🙏
Man fultz, that man one of them what ifs for sure. His jumpshot was so pure in College 😭. I'm not worried about him because he will have a solid career because PG COUNTY breeds solid players. He might not live up to #1 pick status because of the injuries but he will be fine
Recovering from Injuries are crazyyy. I was in a boot because I landed terrible on my ankle landing on a layup & took 2 weeks before I can even put baby pressure onto it alone. Its acc crazy how the body works
Fultz was playing so great before his injury! 🙏🏽 Hope he has a speedy recovery
Prayers for Fultz 🙏🙏
not great, he was playing below average but I mean like every star is playing below average at the moment so there’s no doubt he would have averaged at least 14 and 6 this season, sad to see him go down like this, such a talented young man who deserves better
I’m sorry to say but that might be the last time we ever see Fultz play NBA basketball.
@@UnemploymentScrub23 ACL isn't an achilles. He'll come back better and tougher.
Same, so sad
I’m so sad Markelle tore his ACL, he was on the way to a breakout season...so devastating. He’ll come back strong from this🙏🏽
Prayers
I’m gonna be mip dw
Fultz sounds like a real dude. Very honest. Open. Relaxed. And smart.
@Kyroh Rin you sound insecure
Zach lavine tore his ACL and he's the still the bounciest guy in the league. Markelle gonna bounce back fs
Man hopefully
For real man like Lavine hasn't lost a step at all plus Fultz game has always revolved around a unique horizontal explosiveness that enables him to cut angles and explode into the narrowest openings.
Kind of crazy how many ACL injuries there's already been this season
@@Byronic19134 Zach Lavine got better.
cam_needsrespect facts
This man made the biggest 180 in career trajectory that i've ever seen. he's gonna have a place in the league in a long time. ain't no bust at all
Which one? The 180 when he went from can’t miss superstar to bust? Or when he went from bust to quality player

As a magic fan you don't know how happy this episode made me. Kudos JJ 💪🏿💪🏿 the magic fans still love you
Absolutely! Great comment.
Much love
It broke my heart to see Markelle get injured. He was just getting in his groove with the magic. I hope he comes back stronger
@Travis Tchokotieu Definitely possible, but not entirely because he can’t play
I can feel that JJ has huge love for this young player. Hope he comes back stronger.
Im a life long Sixers fan... shoutout to Markelle I really wish we could've built something with him in Philly. Wish him nothing but the best
Markelles the reason I’m a magic fan he’s gonna bounce back and lead our team 100%

Just the way he carries himself says a lot. Hoping for a speedy recovery and a great career for him🙏

Still My Favorite Player From That Draft🤷🏾♂️💯
Fast recovery man! You a future star!
I live in Orlando and could care less about the Magic (go Bucks) but that being said, this guy is a humble, very sharp player with some of the best ball handling skills in the entire NBA, he will bounce back and be a very good player for another 10 to 15 years. I'm a fan, he deserves the new contract and a team (and media) that supports him.
I felt so bad when I heard he got injured but i agree with jj hes gonna come back strong next year, MIP
“Though I never met you i know that you special and that the lord blessed you don’t doubt it my nigga”
Damn ...this was filmed the day before...wow. just Wow. I laughed when he had the yips with that double pump on the free throw line. His career isn't a joke anymore ....it's sad.
This is how people are considered busts. Injuries. Most of the time it's out of the player's control. Just injuries man
I think he'll be fine. No sadness here, I just loved what he was doing this year
@@silewis9396 hopefully it has a happy ending.

It was awesome seeing him succeed in Orlando. Can’t wait to see him get back on the court better than ever
Get well soon boy you just starting to show your talent!
When I got my shoulder injured during a game, it took 4 months of rehab and I had to change my entire shot and layup mechanic. It was crazy man
So sad he had such a bad injury after so much BS in his life. He made for a fantastic interview and I wish him as fast and strong a recovery.

Would love to see an episode with Lowry!
Witnessed Markelle at a Delaware sixers game and he looked miserable. I’m glad he found the right fit and praying for stronger legs
Damn for a minute I forgot they played together in Philly. Markelle will be back n better than ever
Get well soon man.. 💪
Phenomenal episode! JJ try & see if you can get Steven Adams on!
Recorded a day before his injury... sad as hell man. Kids so talented can’t catch a break
Best of luck to markelle man
That last couple minutes is pain, hopefully he bounces back from this injury
