Great interview!! We needs players from the old school on their experiences from back then and now. Players like Kareem Abudl Jabbar, Big O, Dr.J, George G, D.Wilkins, etc
Wow. James Worthy literally made me tear up with his vulnerability. That’s one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to just because of his honesty, empathy, and story telling.
James doesn't brag about himself like so many of his pedigree. Fortunately I was able to watch him in person and the Showtime Lakers at the Forum. He was incredible! Late after one of the Lakers games my friends and I were the last people in the parking lot and I hear this deep voice say, "how you doing?" Then I looked and it was James...saying hello to me...I was frozen. He was humble and drove a Camry.
James Worthy might be the most underrated personality in sports media. He’s great and has been around the best to ever do it. I’m glad y’all got this one done
Big Game James running the wing on the break was art. Glad he's still around the organization all these years later. Love watching him fire up the cigar after a big Laker W. He's always just been so damn cool on & off the court.
@@BoskoShabazz that’s crazy coming from your 3rd option I think the closest thing we’ve seen like that was KD,Steph and Klay wit the warriors Klay averaged like 20,5 and 5 as a 3rd option other than that you don’t really see 3rd options giving you those kind of numbers they’re normally between 12-15 points with 3 or 4 rebounds/assists
Respect to the Celtics. I learned hate from Laker-Celtics back in the '80s but that long ago crystallized into respect for those hated teams! (Actually only hated Ainge. Borderline hated McHale but respected DJ, Chief and Bird back then)
Lol, he didn't really want to talk about Bird you could tell. He just kind of grimaced through that whole part and mumbled "I didn't really like the guy" at the end.
I just started watching this and from 12:46-15:35 are already some of the most impactful/important things I’ve heard a grown man say publicly in recent times. Thanc you #AllTheSmoke and James Worthy for this.
Stak needs to so some research and prep for these interviews, man. Dude shows up a few minutes before and just reads the teleprompter with no energy or motivation. Other NBA podcasts have appeared so these guys need to step it up. Matt doing his thing though.
Kareem , MJ , Donovan Mitchell , Hakeem Oljuwaon , Yao Ming , Joe Montana , Nikola Jokic , Dominique Wilkins , Sidney Moncrief , LeBron, TB12, Busta Rhymes , Puffy , Killa Cam , Meek Mill , HOV , Dr Dre , Royce Da 5'9, 50 Cent , Pusha T , Anthony Anderson , Davis , & Edwards , Damian Lillard, Juvenile , Lil Kim , Mary J Blige , Christina Aguilera, Jerry Rice , Michelle Obama , Regina King , Hall , Eminem , Emmitt Smith, Joel Embiid , Denzel Washington , Kyrie Irving , Luka Doncic, Dave East , Chappelle, Nas , Giannis, are all guests you need on this show
I grew up watching James Worthy play for UNC (being a NC native). He named my three favorite Tar Heels of all time (those being Phil Ford, himself & Al Wood). Very refreshing and honest interview. Glad to see Big Game James looking healthy and prosperous. Keep going, ATS....
Great Interview. James was a Biggie in any game. A handful to opponents. That first step to the basket was Deadly, Thanks Mr. Worthy for all the wonderful moments. Go Lakers
Forget about MJ hitting the game winner to beat my beloved Hoyas. UNC had a FOINE sister cheerleader named Angela. Me and my boys had a crush on her while I was in the USAF. When that final buzzer went off she jumped into James'arms!!! We was like " YEAH JAMES!!!! " YOU THE MAN!!!" He ended up marrying her too. James was the big man on campus.
Thank U Big Game James for a nice interview about ur pro career. I always luv ur post up quick spin especially u did it to Kevin McHale. Thanks also for giving Isiah Thomas some luv because he is so underrated because what he did to win back to back championship's. THanks Stak N Matt for always using ur platform not only on basketball players, but actors & singers r also included in ur show. God Bless!!!
- Shout out Legendary broadcaster Stu Lantz!...I remember always taking pointers from him during Lakers games, He would break down situations perfectly!...Highly Intelligent Basketball mind, Salute!💯🎙🏆
Let's give him one of those Big Game Worthy claps for his candor and insight. And for Stacks and Matt, hats off for becoming legends in the podcast business. Great work!
As a Lakers fan, I never even owned an MJ jersey (although I would admit to having had his iconic dunk contest poster). The jerseys I bought were Magic, Kobe, and Big Game James, #42!
Big Game James was an incredible player! While I do believe Magic could’ve been named FMVP in 1988 (and on the other hand, Kareem probably should’ve won it in 1980), Worthy still deserved it, no doubt… Imagine that, playing in one of the GOAT teams, playing with prime Magic Johnson, and still being the one winning FMVP against the Bad Boys Pistons; Worthy was THAT good! Loved the interview.. Worthy is extremely insightful and eloquent.
YO S/O TO THA GASHOUSE! I'm from Gastonia and still live in the area...I actually went to Ashbrook where Worthys jersey is hung! One of yall from gastonia too? Or did I mishear that? Either way DOPE interview with a rarely mentioned 🐐! Luv from gastonia and NC...PEACE
We watched you Kareem and Magic Johnson sweep the Phoenix Suns . The Laker fans had brooms and were sweeping the steps everywhere. Fun to watch. And we agree Kareem Magic and yourself are the true GOATS
I've always been a James fan and he was super nice to me the one time I met him, but the stuff he said here was just mind blowing and insightful. What a guy
Mr Worthy is so intelligent, I'm not used to hearing Americans speak like that too often. Great command of the language. Great command of the basketball too!
True story…my aunt was on flight to LA from Raleigh NC to visit my uncle(RIP) for his father’s funeral and on the flight and was seated next to Worthy. He asked for her number and he was shocked she had no idea who he was. She told him she had a fiancé and was going to his fathers funeral. When she came back and told us, and I said “James Worthy” she said “yeah is he any good?”😂😂
Love the beginning of this video. I'm a 56 year old black man from Chicago. Worthy having been a professional athlete is speaking for a few generations of black men, our feelings, difficulties and experiences growing up in this country. Something most of us never have the opportunity to do. There have been campaigns for virtually every other group of people in this nation except black men. I'd argue no other group has been targeted, demonized and undervalued than this group, to this day. In the past the celebrities and athletes that tried to draw attention to the issue found themselves ostracized, demonized and forced out of their chosen professions. The list of those names are too vast to list here. It takes someone like a Worthy to bring attention to the issue. However even he has to do it on a podcast as opposed to on any legacy media networks where it would reach across all barriers. I haven't finished the video but this has to be the most important topic of it all. I read one comment that stated it brought them to tears, relating to his vulnerability. That disappointed me because even that was not the most significant part of his testimony. It just proves my earlier point.
Man I loved to see both Matt & Stak listening so intently. Two legends in their own right paying so much respect to James Worthy, who really opened up in such an honest way. What a great conversation. Big thanks!!
Please to a interview with Andrei Kirilenko, tim Duncan, John Stockton, Steve Francis, Joe Dumars, Amare Stoudemire, Rajon Rondo, Kyle Korver Bill Walton, Muggsy Booges.
the way old heads talk about the game is so hilarious. bro mugsey bouges had a successful career in ur era JOHN STOCKTON WAS SUCCESSFUL…. these players now would be fine. and yes the whistle is a lot lighter now its still an extremely physical game only difference is now you arent aloowed to do drugs at halftime then go sucker punch someone 😱😨
This is a Diamond! Big Game James is a true legend. As an old head myself, this one was priceless. The way he told stories and his reverence for Kobe’s intellect…Awesome. Thank you both for making this happen.
Ted Williams was hitting 388 38 Homer's and 85 RBIs at 39, hank Aaron hitting 300 40 Homer's at 40 plus, Tom Brady winning a superbowl at 43, forman winning heavy weight title at 44, Archie Moore was a world champion at 45, and bernard Hopkins at 48, Mario Lemieux scored 91 points at 38 after cancer, and Tiger and Jack won majors in their late 40s so LeBron didn't do it better than everyone and I think there's a good chance he's on PEDs aswell.
Love this! #42 (along with #21), my two favorite Lakers. J Dub still rocking the New Balance! Love the YMCA GRA-Y reference. I did GRA-Y too back in the 1970’s, and it was a good program.
In 2013, Michael Jordan was asked to name his all-time starting five, which included himself, Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, and Hakeem Olajuwon.
Players who like contact and physical play would have done well back in the 1980s guys like DWade would have no problem but Giannis, LeBron, Steph etc would have had problems getting checked on screens and pushed around.
Big Game James is truly a real guy who had a tremendous amount of ability to play basketball. Enjoyed the interview, fellas. The 80s was a great decade for hooping.

Both Oscar winners.. Denzel & Louis
If the Lakers picked Dominique instead of Worthy, do the Lakers win more than 5 titles in the 80's and/or 90's??
@@lilpenny1982 no, dominique wasn't a good fit for the lakers. I even think worthy was better than wilkins...
Love the time stamps as always. Thank you
Wow. James Worthy literally made me tear up with his vulnerability. That’s one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to just because of his honesty, empathy, and story telling.
No doubt. He didn't hold anything back and he didn't over dramatize anything either.
@@ishetryingClass act
I was thinking the same thing! Worthy is dropping jewels!!!!
James doesn't brag about himself like so many of his pedigree. Fortunately I was able to watch him in person and the Showtime Lakers at the Forum. He was incredible! Late after one of the Lakers games my friends and I were the last people in the parking lot and I hear this deep voice say, "how you doing?" Then I looked and it was James...saying hello to me...I was frozen. He was humble and drove a Camry.
Wow. A millionaire driving a camry. My Dad got James Worthys Autograph for me back in the 80s. I was a kid back then, I ended up losing that Autograph
WOW
James Worthy might be the most underrated personality in sports media. He’s great and has been around the best to ever do it. I’m glad y’all got this one done
Chick Hearn is the best ever in Basketball, especially for LA if we talking NBA. James can be 2nd.
Totally agree!
Thanks Matt and Stak. Growing up in the Caribbean, Big Game James was a hero. Smooth, tough, knew where the bucket was!
Which country!? I’m from Jamaica 🇯🇲 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
@@JasonWalkerJamaica I'm from Trinidad 🇹🇹 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Trini also....big up ja! Amazing country
@@mwill80I played fiba basketball, it was always a battle between TT and Ja
Wow, I’m surprised you didn’t say Mychal Thompson. Good to know Big Fame James is recognized everywhere!
Big Game James !! I’ll never forget when he came to speak out our basketball banquet for the Crenshaw YMCA. 🙏🏾
Thank you Mr. Worthy for taking the time to sit down and bless us with this
James Worthy is my favorite basketball player and I am from Chicago. I hope I get to shake his hand one day.
Growing up a Lakers fan in the 80's, Worthy was one of my favorite players
Mine too😊
I could listen to Big Game share these stories all day long.
Good to see James is a man and has face his demons like a man. Talent through the roof... great content Matt and Stack.... great conversation.
The statue of liberty move is his signature!
Big Game James running the wing on the break was art. Glad he's still around the organization all these years later. Love watching him fire up the cigar after a big Laker W. He's always just been so damn cool on & off the court.
One of the best interviews y'all ever had. Salute to the home state Gastonia NC Legend James Worthy !!!!
One of the underrated players of the 80s with one of the BEST nicknames "Big Game James Worthy"! 💯
So love this episode. My most favorite one so far. Worthy is such an eloquent and intellectual speaker. My favorite Lakers player of all time..
Big Game James 💪🏻💪🏻! Lakers legend forever 💜💛💜💛💜
Big Game James might be the greatest third option in NBA history
Didn’t he average like 30 and 10 in the nba finals when he won the fmvp??
@@SuperWizzle85 22, 7, and 4
Yep, Manu Ginobili is in the discussion too
@@BoskoShabazz that’s crazy coming from your 3rd option I think the closest thing we’ve seen like that was KD,Steph and Klay wit the warriors Klay averaged like 20,5 and 5 as a 3rd option other than that you don’t really see 3rd options giving you those kind of numbers they’re normally between 12-15 points with 3 or 4 rebounds/assists
@@MickeyEntertains I agree Manu is definitely in the convo
As a Celtics fan i can only tip my hat off to James Worthy...great player, great person! Thanks for the insight!
Respect to the Celtics. I learned hate from Laker-Celtics back in the '80s but that long ago crystallized into respect for those hated teams! (Actually only hated Ainge. Borderline hated McHale but respected DJ, Chief and Bird back then)
Big Games James is a top 75 player and one of the 10 greatest small forwards of all times 🏀
This is a fact. Nobody else is named BIG Game
Drop step was lethal
@busydem6161 best spin move in league history. No one had a better, more legal, blink-and-you-miss him, 180⁰ degree spin move.
Highest FG percentage in the playoffs for a non center. When it counts
It's a reason Mike always put him in his all time team with Pippen at the forward spots
Lol, he didn't really want to talk about Bird you could tell. He just kind of grimaced through that whole part and mumbled "I didn't really like the guy" at the end.
Long overdue interview for sure! Still waiting too see Duncan or Dirk or Steve Francis on here!
U snapped ngl Didn’t even think about that tbh
Worthy of a Worthy clap! 👏🏼. Lakers royalty. 💜💛
I just started watching this and from 12:46-15:35 are already some of the most impactful/important things I’ve heard a grown man say publicly in recent times. Thanc you #AllTheSmoke and James Worthy for this.
Need Kareem in the podcast!
FACT!
I wish he too full of himself to do it
It’s like Kareem is the only one who doesn’t realize how loved he is he is so sour at the world
Still? He's calmed down since his Lakers days.
I don't think he'll do it
Often overlooked on ATG lists but real ones know. Big Game James was that guy. Certified legend.
Stak needs to so some research and prep for these interviews, man. Dude shows up a few minutes before and just reads the teleprompter with no energy or motivation.
Other NBA podcasts have appeared so these guys need to step it up. Matt doing his thing though.
Stak don’t care 😂
I’ve been noticing that. I swear, sometimes it feels like he’s disinterested.
Big Game James , lethal as hell...fond memories of him with the Showtime Lakers
Kareem , MJ , Donovan Mitchell , Hakeem Oljuwaon , Yao Ming , Joe Montana , Nikola Jokic , Dominique Wilkins , Sidney Moncrief , LeBron, TB12, Busta Rhymes , Puffy , Killa Cam , Meek Mill , HOV , Dr Dre , Royce Da 5'9, 50 Cent , Pusha T , Anthony Anderson , Davis , & Edwards , Damian Lillard, Juvenile , Lil Kim , Mary J Blige , Christina Aguilera, Jerry Rice , Michelle Obama , Regina King , Hall , Eminem , Emmitt Smith, Joel Embiid , Denzel Washington , Kyrie Irving , Luka Doncic, Dave East , Chappelle, Nas , Giannis, are all guests you need on this show
James being humble " I was the best player for 3 weeks". MJ had his moments, but James was THE man.He LED that team to the '82 chip at UNC.
I grew up watching James Worthy play for UNC (being a NC native). He named my three favorite Tar Heels of all time (those being Phil Ford, himself & Al Wood). Very refreshing and honest interview. Glad to see Big Game James looking healthy and prosperous. Keep going, ATS....
This was one of the best interviews yet
Nah, these two clowns looked bored af. The energy/vibe was off on this one
Great Interview. James was a Biggie in any game. A handful to opponents. That first step to the basket was Deadly, Thanks Mr. Worthy for all the wonderful moments. Go Lakers
This is dope. Look at Mat Barnes just taken it all in. Wow!!
Big Game James!!! My papa was a huge fan of the showtime lakers..
23:41 Matty boy looks like he's the happiest 10 year old seeing grnadpappy talk LolOLoL
James played with the two GOATS ( MJ and Kareem). Also if Kareem went from H.S to the pros....the scoring record would NEVER been broken.
James Worthy is wise as hell
Love Worthy, such a honest and insightful dude and as a player, a monster super efficient scorer and great defender.
Forget about MJ hitting the game winner to beat my beloved Hoyas. UNC had a FOINE sister cheerleader named Angela. Me and my boys had a crush on her while I was in the USAF. When that final buzzer went off she jumped into James'arms!!! We was like " YEAH JAMES!!!! " YOU THE MAN!!!" He ended up marrying her too. James was the big man on campus.
Matt and Steven Jackson, you are both great interviewer but please leave K. Brown alone, it's not funny or wanted. Ijs ❤️
James worthy is one of the most underrated players in NBA history.
I love how open James was.
Yea keep it up keep gettin big names that dont talk to just anybody
Big Game broke down the NBA lifestyle for a young player insightfully like a O.G..🗣💯
Thank U Big Game James for a nice interview about ur pro career. I always luv ur post up quick spin especially u did it to Kevin McHale. Thanks also for giving Isiah Thomas some luv because he is so underrated because what he did to win back to back championship's. THanks Stak N Matt for always using ur platform not only on basketball players, but actors & singers r also included in ur show. God Bless!!!
EPIC. Thank you Mr Worthy
Jerry West would be a great guest on your show!!

Let's give him one of those Big Game Worthy claps for his candor and insight. And for Stacks and Matt, hats off for becoming legends in the podcast business. Great work!
He said PE should be replaced?? That's the class where students work on socio-emotional skills the most.
Mr Worthy.. If u ever see this. U were the first poster I had on my wall.. And u had on New Balance. It just said one word
WORTHY.
As a Lakers fan, I never even owned an MJ jersey (although I would admit to having had his iconic dunk contest poster). The jerseys I bought were Magic, Kobe, and Big Game James, #42!
The Great Big Game James Worthy!! #TarHeelNation
Big Game James was an incredible player! While I do believe Magic could’ve been named FMVP in 1988 (and on the other hand, Kareem probably should’ve won it in 1980), Worthy still deserved it, no doubt… Imagine that, playing in one of the GOAT teams, playing with prime Magic Johnson, and still being the one winning FMVP against the Bad Boys Pistons; Worthy was THAT good!
Loved the interview.. Worthy is extremely insightful and eloquent.
The most underrated player in NBA history. Kareem and Magic wouldn't be nearly as successful without Big Game James
Lakers have done Big Game wrong, he should already have a statue outside of the Lakers home areana with all the other Lakers legends
LAKERS LEGEND, HOFer, #42. BIG GAME JAMES🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wat can i say i'ma LAKERS Baby.
YO S/O TO THA GASHOUSE! I'm from Gastonia and still live in the area...I actually went to Ashbrook where Worthys jersey is hung! One of yall from gastonia too? Or did I mishear that? Either way DOPE interview with a rarely mentioned 🐐! Luv from gastonia and NC...PEACE
Great player and a great man
We watched you Kareem and Magic Johnson sweep the Phoenix Suns . The Laker fans had brooms and were sweeping the steps everywhere. Fun to watch. And we agree Kareem Magic and yourself are the true GOATS
In the beginning James Worthy was like you’ll laughed too hard about him saying he had a radio face. James is a handsome man. Looks like Marvin Gaye
I've always been a James fan and he was super nice to me the one time I met him, but the stuff he said here was just mind blowing and insightful. What a guy
James Worthy -> Statue of Liberty dunk.
Appreciate that guys 🏀🔥BIG GAME was SPECIAL!Randy Moss ?
23:41 Matt looking at James how I’m looking at my phone
Austin Rivers 😂it’s Austin Reeves
Mr Worthy is so intelligent, I'm not used to hearing Americans speak like that too often. Great command of the language. Great command of the basketball too!
What a dope ass person 🙌🏽
The most self aware athlete / personality I’ve ever seen interviewed. Big ups to Big Game
Big Game kept real and talked about the dark side of being a pro athlete.
“You have the face for radio” 😂 good one!!!
I love that show Winning Time, bummed it got cancelled
True story…my aunt was on flight to LA from Raleigh NC to visit my uncle(RIP) for his father’s funeral and on the flight and was seated next to Worthy. He asked for her number and he was shocked she had no idea who he was. She told him she had a fiancé and was going to his fathers funeral. When she came back and told us, and I said “James Worthy” she said “yeah is he any good?”😂😂
Good Show , great questions and BIG GAME James is now BIG INTERVIEW......never a dull moment u dig !
Michael Jordan Called him young fella 😂😂😂😂
12:45 is the answer why many poor people doesn't know they are poor.
Oh hell this is long overdue i think hes so underrated even though some still rate him high his contributions are overlooked
Loved the Statue of Liberty dunk. Quickest post spin move ever!!!
Big Game wasn’t lying. Elgin Baylor created the Euro step
The 80s...? It was ... Crazy...It was ... Just Crazy 😅😂🤣😭
Such an overused phrase. Lol Interviewer, to an artist: Tell me about the album.
Artist: It's crazy.
James worthy went number one player of the year in college dumb down his game to fit with the team. He still won finals MVP 1988.
Great Interview. Do more of them with legends of the 80s, 90s and 70s
yes!
Love the interviews with the old heads. This was a great one! Would love to see Kareem on here
Stak hosting???
Bout time Brother!
Congratulations!!!
Big Game James.. One of my all time favorite players.. I was never as quick, but I tried to pattern my game after his.. That didn't work out to well.
1:25:47 - Pascal Siakam with the footwork and spin.
Love the beginning of this video. I'm a 56 year old black man from Chicago. Worthy having been a professional athlete is speaking for a few generations of black men, our feelings, difficulties and experiences growing up in this country. Something most of us never have the opportunity to do.
There have been campaigns for virtually every other group of people in this nation except black men. I'd argue no other group has been targeted, demonized and undervalued than this group, to this day. In the past the celebrities and athletes that tried to draw attention to the issue found themselves ostracized, demonized and forced out of their chosen professions. The list of those names are too vast to list here.
It takes someone like a Worthy to bring attention to the issue. However even he has to do it on a podcast as opposed to on any legacy media networks where it would reach across all barriers. I haven't finished the video but this has to be the most important topic of it all. I read one comment that stated it brought them to tears, relating to his vulnerability. That disappointed me because even that was not the most significant part of his testimony. It just proves my earlier point.
Man I loved to see both Matt & Stak listening so intently. Two legends in their own right paying so much respect to James Worthy, who really opened up in such an honest way. What a great conversation. Big thanks!!
Please to a interview with Andrei Kirilenko, tim Duncan, John Stockton, Steve Francis, Joe Dumars, Amare Stoudemire, Rajon Rondo, Kyle Korver Bill Walton, Muggsy Booges.
Kobr Bean.. KCal 9.. Kevin Calandrio.. Stu Lantz.. Chick Hearn... those names.
Man I'm freaking old.. 😢😅😢
Big Game talked some Real Deep 💩 on this Episode! Salute My Dawgs
the way old heads talk about the game is so hilarious. bro mugsey bouges had a successful career in ur era JOHN STOCKTON WAS SUCCESSFUL…. these players now would be fine. and yes the whistle is a lot lighter now its still an extremely physical game only difference is now you arent aloowed to do drugs at halftime then go sucker punch someone 😱😨

Thanks, Matt and Stack. This is the episode many of us have been anticipating. Well-done again! Big Game James is one of my 4 favorite players ever.💜🧡
Dawgs you guys have had some great interviews 4real 4real but this is my best 1 Big Game James
Ted Williams was hitting 388 38 Homer's and 85 RBIs at 39, hank Aaron hitting 300 40 Homer's at 40 plus, Tom Brady winning a superbowl at 43, forman winning heavy weight title at 44, Archie Moore was a world champion at 45, and bernard Hopkins at 48, Mario Lemieux scored 91 points at 38 after cancer, and Tiger and Jack won majors in their late 40s so LeBron didn't do it better than everyone and I think there's a good chance he's on PEDs aswell.

Players who like contact and physical play would have done well back in the 1980s guys like DWade would have no problem but Giannis, LeBron, Steph etc would have had problems getting checked on screens and pushed around.
Bruh that Ebay ad hit real hard. I just got my Jason Williams Heat jersey today from Ebay from 2006🤣
Big Game James is truly a real guy who had a tremendous amount of ability to play basketball. Enjoyed the interview, fellas. The 80s was a great decade for hooping.
