Thanks for watching and supporting the show. Here is the full episode if you want more: th-cam.com/video/YSjimpC0fk8/w-d-xo.html
Yep!
You should have a board with magnetic pieces to play with while you both are talking
Thanks A mil i asked for some video of the plays y'all talking about and we got makes so much sense now loving this please we need more and more.
How this episode 2 but y'all wearing the same shit from episode 1?
@JAYJAYONDAT-_- lmao 🤣 I said the same thing but obviously they shot a long convo and broke it down into probably 3 episodes
Lebron having Vietnam war flashbacks when JJ said 4 straight finals
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
“Yep”🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s funny
Heyyyy my pop pop fought in Nam! He’s dead but he found this funny 😂
Bron saying "Yep" like he got hiccups. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
It shows attention to detail and good listening skills. I do the same just out of habit and focus.
Look at my dad king James. The affirmative action from when he is confirming the moments in his head causes him to say “yep,yep,yep,yep,yep”
Bruh 😂 great stuff
@@vincetaliaferro2777it’s not good for podcast tho when everyone has a mic
Lebron: Yep, Yep, Yep, Yeah, Yep...
LMFAOOOO
😂😂😂😂
I’m from the future: after Silver cashes in on Lebron he stops covering up. Huge PeD scandal ensues. Lebron then comes out as trans
That shit had me crying🤣🤣🤣
@TransKidsMafia then let's talk about stern and jordans 1st "retirement" 🤔💭
Man didn’t know there was so many technical terminology, abbreviations, and lingo for plays. I am such a casual to this game 😂
lol, yeah dude. You need to search TH-cam.
The whole Mike D'antoni offense (7 seconds or less) is in a video with all the terminology.
Bruh I thought I was nba certified
Im not even elementary nba lmbo
For years the likes of Skip Bayless and Stephen A were educating the masses through hot takes and sports gossip. Thank goodness something like this is now available
Now your Would understand why old school basketball can’t work really well right now and Why they always say Bron would have won with better teammates.
We all casuals bruh, if we being honest 😂
“When there was a KEVIN DURANT out there” lmao
impossible to guard
"What are your thoughts on how to defend it?"
LeBron "Yep!"
you cant
Lol hater he gave the answer
lol you can’t that’s the point
@@user-ow2up8re2yhow’s that being a hater?😭
😂
Bron: “What do your kids call u?”
JJ: “Dad”😂
lmao
That was 🎯
Cause you know Bronny and Byrce hittin him with all shorts of names 😂 I know Byrce the type nigga to run around the house saying "lebronnnnn jamessss" haha
😂😂😂😂
Not riding or anything but I find the constant yeps pretty respectful. Shows that he's paying attention. Kind of like how the Japanese keep saying 'hai' as you're talking.
Thats some heavy glazing bro
@@tw7321😂yall use that word wayyy too much.. that’s literally exactly what he’s doing
There are many ways to show you’re paying attention, audibly telling someone you are is the least convincing way. Obviously Bron understands everything here but he is taking up auditory space unnecessarily
@@hb-robothe least convincing way? You can still make direct eye contact while zoning out
It’s like active listening, showing the person you’re talking to that you’re actively participating and hearing what they’re saying , it’s kinda like nodding along as you follow their train of thought
Recommendation : whiteboard so that viewers can see the plays being drawn up, makes it more interactive!
Great pod goats
Bump this immediately
Need that! Get JJ a Ipad hooked up to a display or something.
They're probably not showing the play so that the podcast/audio-only listeners don't feel left out.
the actual podcast shows all plays talked about at the beginning of the ep.
Screen record an Ipad would be better. They can overlay the video with a a drawn animation in post production
Bron’s ability to recall so many things from his entire career is severely underrated.
Yet he continues to make the same mistakes he's a FRUAD he went to Miami to get rings then realized he didn't have the same numbers he had in Cleveland
They all can do that man. Nothing special
These first 2 episodes have me hooked. My god we needed this pod, we see so much gunk now in the NBA media, it's nice to see 2 hoopers actually talk about basketball.
We could do without it and it's no where near as in Depth as detail.
knee pads bro
Yep, Yep , Yep
1 allstar and 1 basic ass player
Exactly I feel like Other than Kobe’s Detail I haven’t seen any of this.
Bron sounds like he want appa to fly
😂😂😂
😂😂
Naaaa cause I got avatar on right now 😂😂
nah this a good one 😂😂👌🏽
LMAOOOOOOOOO
They need to add a live sketch board so we can see jj and bron draw the x's and o's to really understand their vision keep going love this pod 👍💯
Just like on the screen , like they do for chess analysis
Or something they can draw on while watching the play! Pause it circle certain things
Yep
Like grudens qb school on NFL films.
Fr get my man an iPad haha
Usually when people say yep like that you assume they have no clue wtf you’re talking about but then he starts talking and be right on point with him.
This whole shit is golden
Best basketball podcast ever !!! 3 episodes in
Exactly he’s just listening fr and then responding. Instead of ppl who just listen w an answer off the rip
so true! sounds like jj reddick just yapping but lbj actually knows what jj talkin about and following along so easily...crazy
LeYup
😂😂
Lmao
@@michaeljakeem5009LeMao😊😊😊
We family
LeHiccup
I think Lebron had the hiccups for a bit there
Yup
ADHD moment
Came to the comments for this lmaooo
It shows attention to detail and good listening skills. I do the same just out of habit.
I'm cryinggg 😭😭
This podcast is everything. I knew I didn't know enough about the actual game of basketball, even having watched it all my life. And yet I didn't know just how much I didn't know!
I cant imagine playing with Lebron his knowledge on the game is too crazy
Yes the flopping no defending faking injuries crying oh he is the best
@@kruger121akatt2Why you here bruh. Literal hate watching
@@iang7244 lol it's a psychological thing, they can't stop watching the person they supposedly hate, it's sad really 😂 such empty lives
@@kruger121akatt2im a Kobe a fan and you’re full of shite LBJ is one of the 🐐 put some respect on his legacy wat have you done except hate
@@kruger121akatt2 If he doesnt flop then the other team will. Blame officials not the players.
LBJ Fans: "Bron, you are my light."
Bron: "Yep"
LBJ Fans: "You are my sunshine."
Bron: "Yep"
Better Yep'ing than all those haters Yapping
thanks for another views hater❤
My only sunshine
you are a sunshine huh😂😂
You make me happppyyyyy
I love JJ and his drawings i do, but can we get some on screen graphics. It would improve the legibility so much. Also love the replays in slow mo
Ime Udoka : "write that down, write that down!"
They know this already. It comes down to team dynamics and personnel.
Ime won Coty at his first season a coach and was under popovich. Lebron can’t teach him nothing
I think you mean joe mazzulla lmao
Rockets won their last 10
@@ItsMeStrider well ime udoka faced warriors in the finals not joe mazulla
Lebron: Yep,Yep,Yep,Yep,Yep
JJ Reddick: Is this mf trolling
JJs explaining for the audience. Not Bron. He said that 1st ep. Bron is just waiting for his chance to talk.
Are you really that slow? Yes is agreeing to the explanation. It's part of communication. He is waiting for JJ to finish while showing the audience he agrees with JJ... 😅
Yep
LeBron is already 2 steps ahead of JJ so he already knows everything JJ is trying to say. Slow people don’t understand 😬🥵😖
@@KeepItReal213 ur correct. We've seen him travel many many times. Next time don't leave the door wide open 😭🤣😄😂😂👑👑👑🐐🐐🐐😒
So many dumb comments about Lebron saying yep. JJ and Lebron did this podcast for a good reason, to educate the fan and focus on basketball IQ.
You guys with limited attention span are proof that casuals are detached from the game.
Thank you. They only tuned in to find something to mock, and didn't notice that the best basketball podcast was happening right in front of them. Tells you everything you need to know about their relationship to actual basketball.
Ngl I'm not the biggest fan of lebron and love to debate his most diehard fans for fun, but this podcast so far has been actually VERY informative and useful if you want to learn more about the game and how to play it properly.
It wouldnt be the comments section if there wasnt trolling goin on
Relax Bronsexual its just an observation. Not that deep
NBA fans are easily the dumbest out of the 4 major American sports
The definitions of certain terms on the bottom were great. Tying actions to past & currents iterations of teams (GSW, this years Kings) was dope too. As a huge NBA fan who doesn’t necessarily understand the X’s & O’s, I’m really enjoying this content
Great that you added subtitles and videoclips with the action for us mortals.
Best way to defend Draymond during 2015-2018 finals is to call Adam Silver and have him suspended.
Exactly lol
You tore your rotator reaching that wildly u lame Lmaoo
100
Loving this, if i had one suggestion:
It would be interesting to have a board in the style of the "Director's Breakdown" serie from Vanity Fair to be able to see what actions or series you two are drawing.
I think it would engage us to another level.
Not me finding myself saying “yep” out of nowhere after watching this video😂🤦🏽♂️
Love the explanations in these videos.
Man this pod is so good, the young players got a pipeline directly to learn from the greats
Great pod JJ! I m quite new as an nba fan and I m in love with the strategical aspect of the game, that s exactly what I was searching for (but with the king himself in it 🤩). The other media doesnt cover this part at all, its all about who is "the man" and shit like this. Would be awesome to have a little screen to visualize better the scheme you are talking about while you discuss it for us to learn better
Why tf Lebron keep adding adlibs 😂😂😂
Love the small descriptions that pop up on the screen
This is next level basketball information! Young players need this to develop
I train fighters it’s the nuances of fighting that makes champions and it’s nuances that make LBJ the all time leader in scoring and the shocker 4 in assists 😂😂😂
Blown away that this content is free. Adding the relevant clips brings it to life and is such a nice touch. The segment where JJ starts drawing out a play (6:16), I think it could have been useful to have some on screen Xs and Os to help visualise the action better.
These 2 episodes were crazy nice to watch. Just good basketbal opinions. Keep on going.
Lebron knows that JJ is very knowledgeable when it comes to basketball so Lebron knew that if he did this podcast with him would be watched by alot of fans. I like to hear and watch anything that JJ does especially when he's on ESPN
That slot cut that lebron use to get in his miami days seemed unguardable as well and just automatic either 2 points or a foul or a and 1
Being surrounded by shooters makes it easier. Either way, LeBron seemed lost and it was Wade that was the Boss Hog.
@@Mainesthought ok
@@Mainesthought Hey Mods, we have A trouble maker over here, keep an eye on him...
I love when lebron said yep. This man really knows his stuff.
You have to have the highest bbqi to understand what he meant.
Yep
Lmao
I honestly thought he was annoyed. But maybe he was just showing interest
@@D2RGGBuilds Why would he be annoyed? They're having a convo and JJ is explaining something to him.
And he said: "yep"
Thought he's having a hiccup 😂
Interesting to see them have guests on the show later, once established. One guest interesting to see is Pat Bev talk Xs and Os. Who else you think will be a good guest?
Do you know how long I have been waiting for lebron to do a details thing like this omfgg
And you got ....yep ,yup, yeah , yup , your right , yep , yup, yup, yup, yup , yeah looney , yup , yup yep ,yup , yeah, yup, yup...........
You've been waiting since Kobe did his details episodes, right?
@@12savage68 If thats all you got from a detailed hoop talk from one of, if not the, greatest basketball player ever then you clearly weren't paying attention. Stick to looking after your baby son instead
Love the SHAKY CAM to make the pod more ACTION
It feels overproduced tbh, I just want the content lol
Like for how many times Lebron said yep! 😂
get overhead shots or just edit an illustration when JJ does his scribbles when elaborating plays. Would love to see those!
This is unbelievable. What an education. One of the greatest to ever do it breaking down play by play moves. I’m new to basketball (live in Europe) but this is just such a treat as a Sports fan. The granular depth and detail is amazing. Chapeau to LeBron man. Dude must be a billionaire and still wants to spend his time talking about the game he loves and help others learn too. Just incredible.
Fascinating how different the comment section is on the highlight vs the actual podcast. These trolls are hilarious
Need to add a top down cam
On the drawing or use a tablet that is in the stream
It would be awesome if there was some sort of visual graphic or just video of jj righting on a coach's clipboard about a play...rather than just him scribbling on graph paper.
- Sincerely a visual learner 😅
This is a great show! This is something people should watch so they can learn the art of basketball from two great players! I can listen to them for hours and not get tired or hate rather than to listen to those so called "analyst" who are always hating and bashing these great players! Keep up this great podcast!
yep
NBA fans should be greatful KD choose to leave because everyone would still be suffering till this day!
Sure , he got one of the things he came for, rings, but he wanted respect too and that he didn't get that's why he left.
Man the Cavaliers and Warriors NBA Final series was unforgettable, LeBron James and Steph Curry two of the best basketball players in the world. Good memories. 👏👏👏
I think this is the most unique sports podcast i know. It´s not about the people in the room, it´s about the sport. No set phrases, no egos, just 2 dudes nerding about the game of basketball. love it!
idc what it costs… idc who you have to bribe… idc about yalls schedules…. Please ask if Gregg Popovich is available for a wined up basketball discussion on the X’s and O’s
What language these guys speaking!!! Wow it is amazing to discover the other aspect of basketball
Another great side of LBJ
I can hear lebron talk basketball for hrs him & jj both basketball IQ is off the charts 📊 this is pure gold ✨
Lebron and JJ are so close to playing footsy
All it needs is two more bottles of wine.
It’s happened 😂
Ur weird
😂
More like cleaning each other knobs
see this is what kerr was talking about when offenses today are much more complex..so are defensive coverages. Im not sure how oldheads react today because being a tough defender means like clotheslining players to the ground. I have the feeling that JJ and LBJ did this podcast to shut up haters of this era.
Would be intereting to have Stephen A in there to see if he would be comfortable in these discussions lol
he wouldn't know what language this is lmaoooo
SAS and specially Skip Bayless hate this. Its the opposite of the industry they built.
SAS would say they are using big words to scare him.
He might as well be on ESPN Deportes 😂
This is a good point
JJ was talking about GS more than anything 😂 but I never thought I’ll get the knowledge I needed in basketball terms. And I’m a football player these episodes R 🔥
man lebron even bringing up the time he slipped just made him humble for me, I just felt like he admired the fact and the technicality and the unfairness that kd is in that team and he summarized the confusion and the struggle on who to guard on the kd warriors just based on that clip that it doesnt really matter if he slipped in that play.
I never noticed in that play how the ball bounces right in front of him on the way to KD. He was definitely preoccupied with other things.
Bron saying you could “probably” find that play on TH-cam like it wasn’t Game 1 of the damn 2017 Finals 😂
That shit was old as fuck
@@Tbandz100k 7 years ago can feel like the blink of an eye depending on how old you are
Those clips still out there😂
Lmao i didnt notice the yeps 😂😂😂
I watched the whole podcast.
Im dead 💀💀💀
3:03 Lebron channeled his inner Charles Barkley man said “difficot” 😂😂 love this content btw
Bro that ball went right past Bron. Insane, you can tell he’s never expect that in a million years…KD to the Warriors should’ve been illegal. They had Bron in shambles
And people were wondering why Shannon isn't hear instead of JJ. What would Shannon say?
GOAT JAMES!!!!!
Watching this interaction, makes me realize LbJ is less of an X & O IQ kinda of guy. He's more of a feel kinda guy. He instinctually knows what do vs JJ geeks out about the X's and O's.
LBJ has both. It's awesome to listen to these thinkers of the game.
Some truth to this. Obviously LBJ knows the X&Os but that natural instinct and feel is the difference, the things you can't teach. Part of why he was so good so young, in addition to the physical gifts of course.
JJ: *Says anything*
Bron “Yep !”
Great show when two great Basketball minds can come together and detail the game 🔥💪🏿
I find it funny how boomers talk about how Jordan bulls would beat 17/18 GSW. LOL. They wouldn't even know what happened. They would have gotten swept. This ain't hero ball, these are set plays that are basically impossible to guard and you just hope the other team misses.
ain't fair to compare eras. bad taste
lol which they won’t miss because it’s peak Steph, Klay, and KD
They would beat the 2015 and 2016 warriors but not the KD warriors
😂 I hate this topic but what you said was legitimately funny.
@@jvwilliamsbulls are getting swept
This might be the best podcast ever. Not basketball podcast. Any podcast. It is worth watching even not a basketball fan to observe the level of understanding and intelligence it is required to be in the highest level of any profession.
I don't even watch the NBA but I love watching two men share a passion and talk shop.
bron with the adlibs is crazy 😂
Lmao 5:26 lebron told siri to stfu im dead
Damn.....this is just too good. Cant believe its real - please keep it rollin!
I love the intelligent basketball convos taking place on this podcast. Not just a bunch of narrative machines from talking heads, just pure basketball plays and actions that are occurring
Look, that quick comment from LeBron about how the swipe through was taken away (when talking about Draymond Green post up game)…that wasn’t addressed! What happened to that move? It just went away as of late. Just constant gems in this convo
And then the warriors told Wiggins to sit in the corner the last two years so Klay could try to reclaim greatness.
Makes sense why they beat them last year. He knows all their plays lol
no, the reason why they beat the Warriors is because of Warriors were too damn small
@@leonlee877 watch the end of game 4 …. He describes a play they run for an open 3. Bron literally forced a help switch and Dray threw the ball away intended for Klay. If only b ball was that simple lol. Have u not learned anything from this?
@@3rdFloorthey’re all running different variations and combinations of the same stuff honestly.
@@Guidedxbando did u not hear them? “Why don’t more people run them splits” … cause they don’t have Steph & Klay. Are you not listening to what he’s saying? Lol
@@3rdFloor where did I disagree with u? Are u actually reading what you’re reading? My statement was broad. It wasn’t specific to Klay, Steph or whoever else u want to name.
I've never been a Lebron fan... (I'm Spurs fam) but this is AWESOME
Best podcast to exist, grateful to listen to greatness
They should have a digital whiteboard so they can really explain & go over tape to show their true mind & high IQ
Yea like use an iPad or tablet to track his sketches.
You gotta get JJ a basketball whiteboard
How TF don't they have one on the set 😂
@@raven4475 looks like Ep 1 and 2 are on the same day. So probably winging it till the next one. Next one gonna be good.
I thought I’ll never hear this conversation 💯💯💯
Does JJ have to drink multiple bottles of wine for every interview, lol
as you can see Lebron's Eyes he stills amazed of what he sees during their Finale game and till now it always bother his minds how good the Splash Bro is.
I thought it would be a bit boring but I enjoyed hearing the technical aspects of the game.
This a high iq ball conversation. I don’t hear other sports shows go this in debt.
Do you eat double bacon cheeseburgers 🍔?
Lebron: Yup
Do you drink Hennessy 🥃?
Lebron: Yup
Ima sports nerd, I love talking schemes and play designs. This pod couldn’t make me happier
JJ: so what's your take?
Lebron: Yes
😂😂😂😂
Lebron has that high IQ for plays and player shifts. He’s well aware on several facets on the floor, strengths and weaknesses. This matters from being just a talented player to high level longevity player
@@TeamJORDAN-rh1zqYou have a comprehension problem.
@@TeamJORDAN-rh1zqyou hurt😂😂
YUP
I can’t unhear the yep now.
Word to Bron, 3rd best to ever do it but could you imagine an ep with Kobe here as well. God damn man
Sounds like trigonometry
So you wanna switch back to the 🗑️ imaginary, drama takes that require no brain cells that Skip Bayless has made famous?
In the 2015 NBA finals this dude literally averaged a 36-point triple double (36-13 & 9).. Who does that!?
2017 too.
@@jackjax7921
2017?🤔 Was that the year a 2-time back to back unanimous league MvP had to team up with another league MvP in order to "beat" the Cavs in the 2017 NBA finals?🤔
2017 Finals Lebron did actually average a triple double.
33.6 points, 12.0 rebounds and 10.0 assists and got knocked out in 5 games
On a side note, This is why I regard people as bottom of the barrel IQ wise when they talk about some "4-6 in the Finals" nonsense. It has no context behind it.
There's only 3 players who have EVER averaged a triple double in a playoff series:
LeBron James - 2017 NBA Finals
33.6 PTS, 12 REB, 10 AST
Russell Westbrook - 2017 WC First Round
37.4 PTS, 11.6 REB, 10.8 AST
Nikola Jokic - 2023 WC Semifinals
34.5 PTS, 13.2 REB, 10.3 AST
Obviously only ONE player in NBA History has done it in the Finals. But "4-6" though 🙄
