31:12 so powerful. I feel many of us would be happier and more fulfilled if we got this concept. "What makes a great show, what makes a great team, what makes a great product... is everyone starring in their role. Go to a Broadway show and watch the person who doesn't have any speaking parts, who's dancing in the third row of the ensemble. They're totally invested in that scene. And he talked about that with our own team, like your role may change year to year, but if you're starring in that role, you have value."
The vibe of "if you are not a top-five player you are a bum" is prevalent in the NBA these days and it makes it hard to watch. I am becoming less of a fan because of the diva-attitude. The NBA as a product is just better as a whole when you have players who can buy into their role. This is why I pull for the Suns and the Bucks.
@@db-hj9cu Yeah, I can see that. The fans say that kind of thing and then provoke players on Twitter, which the players buy into. However, as a big college basketball fan, I see the players coming through college who already have their own self-branded agenda. Some of the players come to college with a diva attitude. I think it a mixture of the players and the fans. But I definitely see how the fans critical voices set absurd expectations for players.
@@nathanbranson9149 you right about that college diva thing. Some of them are so cocky it's crazy. With Twitter Instagram and nil now even the women are becoming diva athletes
JJ as an analyst is just so pure on his input & research on teams. I truly shows his love for the game but who he is person definitely shines as well. Never got to see this side of JJ as a player. Looking forward to follow & achievement in his post career. Congrats JJ & sharing your story
What a great interview. Taylor is so awesome. Empathy filled. Deep insight into JJ as a human being. I hope Jerry West watches this so he can forgive JJ for his plumber comments. :-) because after watching, you can't deny that JJ is a good person. Personally, over my lifetime, I have learned that if a lot of people seem to hate you, you're probably doing something special. I think clearly, JJ has always been doing something special. But like any other human being, the journey is real, and figuring it out is not easy. Obviously, he has done it well, and landed in a great place. Salute. :-)
Guys.. Every single podcast.. You have the wrong mics, Taylor does not have the mic pointed at her correctly. If you cannot set the mics up correctly you need "omni directional" mics. If you google podcast mic it says to get a cardioid mic but these only work when absolutely facing the mouth, Taylors is facing the ceiling.. The levels were vastly different, Cmon dudes..
Sometimes people will choose to point a mic, even a dynamic mic like the SM7B, slightly offset at an angle if they feel like the windscreen isn’t doing a good enough job. That being said, I agree that the levels were annoyingly off and the mic was still too far from Taylor’s mouth.
it is ironic he was overly critical of Barkley and calling him out numerous times for critiquing players, and even challenged Barkley credentials becos he never won a championship. Yet he was willing to praise Tatum, Lillard (even calling him a winner/ champion) when they have achieved much less than Barkley.
@@JEBEDIAH8D Agree these players have accomplished great things on and off the court living/leading successful lives. However when people talk about being a champion with NBA players they're not talking about their lives off the court. It's as simple this....have you won a NBA championship or not? Stop it.
JJ's ability to talk about mental health with such vulnerability, and eloquently at that, is what just makes him a great human and a great player.
oop, Taylor hit the nail on the head. An elite communicator indeed.

@@nathanbranson9149 it's not the players that push that it's the fans. And the fans of certain players

Honestly one of the best podcast episodes ever. The way JJ communicates is next level. Needs to be on more podcasts.
Ah man!! This interview! Taylor! You did your thing! 👏🏾 JJ is a great host and even better guest!
Top-tier content you guys. Old Man and the Three is quickly becoming one of my fave pods

Bonding over “Scandal” with your wives is so pure lol
sound engineer deserves props.
Taylor extra raspy this week fully bout it
Time to replace the PTA meeting room table
Taylor omgggggg
Brilliant convesation.
"Hey man, you got THE job!"
He said he went over to tar heels campus just to hang out and had to literally run for his life lol that’s how much he was hated!
Maybe it’s not trauma but sounds like grief; you’re missing what was or who you were back when. Understandable.
Wait, he got offered a head coaching job with the Celtics?
He would’ve been some kind of assistant. Joe M was recruiting him and he’s the head coach now.
JJ “Elite Communicator” Redick
I love everything about this interview. I want to marry Taylor, Lord.

Idk , im not an expert but it sounds fine to me
You mic critics typing paragraphs about things maybe 2% of people watching this are hilarious. Get a life bozo.
Can you still hear them

Those are dynamic mics. Look it up. Sounds fine.
Who said that JJ doesn't have head coaching experience?? 😅
it is ironic he was overly critical of Barkley and calling him out numerous times for critiquing players, and even challenged Barkley credentials becos he never won a championship. Yet he was willing to praise Tatum, Lillard (even calling him a winner/ champion) when they have achieved much less than Barkley.
Damn she’s so fine ❤
“COACH “
Taylor there smiling, thinking i wish nice words came out of my boyfriends mouth like this
Just shows LeBron was feared by the Celtics lol 🤣🤣
JJs wife doesn’t want him coming on here anymore
Why
Coulda been a champion finally. Now you're on the losing franchise.
They are switching in bed?
Say wha
JJ stop it. Dame isn't a champion. He hasn't won an NBA championship. Fact. Has he had success in the league? Sure.
Im sure Dame cares way more about the respect from his peers than your hate
@@shelovet0mmy Hate? How do you pull hate from the comment. Interesting.
he literally said theres different ways to be a winner. yes he's not a nba champion but in life he 100% is a champion
@@JEBEDIAH8D Agree these players have accomplished great things on and off the court living/leading successful lives.

An olympic gold medalist sounds like a champion to me
