Yeah, the community has become very toxic full of kids badmouthing everyone and everything while not understanding nor appreciating the game. It's almost pointless to go into any comment section on NBA related posts. I believe most fans only care about the game and couldn't care less about the drama, while the ones messing everything for the rest of us are really just a loud minority
i love how everybody in the comments are just enjoying the content. no beefing no name calling no arguing, we are all here just to enjoy the content. i love it man. we are all just fans of the game. this is beautiful
This is what the game needs. LBJ being the spokesperson for tactical basketball discourse is a pure net positive for the way the sport is discussed by every fan. I hope they go for 500 episodes
THIS. It’s the perfect idea for shifting basketball discourse away from drama & more towards X’s and O’s. Getting LeBron James to do this draws in the perfect audience to receive the message too. I’m thrilled for this to blow up

Just sent the episode to my middle school son who plays basketball and wants a career as a player or basketball executive or commentator and told him this podcast is a MUST.
This is actually breathtaking we true basketball fans deserve this. We’ve been force to listen hot takes culture for to long. I enjoyed this no narrative, no agenda, no comparison, no clickbait, no tearing down one another. Just pure basketball take I’ve learned a lot that I’ve never heard on any basketball platform. Thank you JJ and bron.
And he was SO CLOSE to doing this smh! Towards the end he was reviewing players tendencies and plays things of that nature. I still remember he reviewed James harden and showed why he would never win a championship ( just one example ).
Lebron was speaking about Rondo. If they can get him in on the podcast with those 3 together talking hoops, it’ll be the best basketball podcast of all time
@@markost.8944 he would definitely make things funnier. Idk if he’ll be able to articulate his way of playing and his IQ but I definitely not opposed to it
Brings me back to the playoffs when he recalled the last 5 minutes of the game against Toronto. Or even when he told his opponent where he was supposed to be on the floor 🤣
Jordan after losing to the Pistons in 89 playoffs: "They were the better team and they played better today." Kobe after losing to the Spurs in 03 playoffs: "We can make a million excuses, but the fact is we are not going to make it. Later saying, I will push myself to exhaustion" LeBalco talking with JJ Redick on why he lost in the 2011 finals against the MAVS: "We didn't have enough complementary pieces, we had a lot of bare minimum guys"
Out of the Million podcasts… all the smoke,pivot, Jeff Teague,Gil’s arena,Paul George, Kg and pierce, shaq, Darius miles and Q rich, sharpe and ocho etc etc etc…. The fact that bron chose redick over all those shows the respect
Million followers. Clean cut with no blemishes or bs. Super professional. Also he’s a sportscaster on official tv shows. So honestly it’s easy to see why. Like best of both sides
Not if they want ratings, unfortunately. JJ talked about it a few weeks back. His breakdown of plays gets 10s of thousands of views. His criticism of Doc Rivers gets millions. Blame the viewing public.
@@wth718exactly some of us we enjoy the negative than the positive. Now watch this show won’t get a lot of viewers because they actually talking about basketball. No drama, no agenda, no goat debate, no comparison and not tearing down one another. Just pure basketball take
Said the exact same thing to a friend who I sent this too. Sick of basketball coverage being only being for casuals. Kendrick Perkins is a well paid basketball analyst now ffs. Things like this and the Thinking Basketball channel are game changers
This felt like a massage for the brain, so soothing to listen to ! JJ and LBJ are a breath of fresh air in this, sometimes, boring podcast world 🔥 Looking forward to episode 2
@@abrahamvillanueva2048 damn u only got to listen yeah and um...u are a certified hater...all those basketball talk by Bron and bro heard yeah and um... crazy...
was thinking the same thing... all those hours obsessing over the art of basketball - so much knowledge discovered that would've been awesome to hear from Kobe. We're lucky to have Lebron do this while he can 👍
@@TeacherLegendary u definitely don't know crap about his career, due literally studied player's tendencies as well as the refs just so he could know where their blindspot was so he could get away with stuff. Dude was a psycho, he literally went to bill Russell for advice on leadership and then won 2 chips in a row the next 2 years ... he was always viewed as smart from all the defenders who played him.
I cannot emphasize enough how much this type of podcast is appreciated and needed, as someone who's fairly new to basketball (3 years) but wants to learn more and more every day, a 40 minutes podcast with visual representation is the best thing that could have ever happened, there needs to be more content like this
No matter if you don't like LeBron James or love the man he is the only human being that I want to listen to talk about basketball to how it is played then and now the 2000s 2010 and 2020 this was a fantastic interview
This is the Katt Williams episode for basketball. Basketball media will change forever. Thank you for the great work and making content people want to hear: the mindset of athletes, the preparation, the complexity of the plays, situations coaches can and cannot prepare for, what defensive coverage to gamble on under pressure, etc. Not since Kobe Bryant's detailed series has this level of insight been shared. Brilliant.
Kobe is way smarter than this bum. He at least should finish that malcom X book first. One of my favorite lebron quotes: I don't want to get into a word, or a sentence back and forth. 😂😂😂
@tuneunleashed I came straight to the comment section. I didn't watch this video. I posted a comment of my own asking will lebron address the PED usage allegations. I don't care for his basketball acumen. He's a loser. I wanna hear from winners who didn't cheat the game.
Its definitely facts. Madden players knows the playbook and I gurantee 2k player is just mashing dribvle moves to trigger animation or spamming high pick n roll or a 'Thumb Down'😂
Love this! I love the atmosphere and delivery. Organic and inviting. NOW FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME, please please have Mike on just once. Please. 🙏 All this talk about Basketball IQ. We need to tap into that brain of his too! Love you guys 🤘🏼🍿🍿🤘🏼 Notable IQs to tap into as well: AI, Phil Jackson, Magic, John Stockton, & Steph.
As a 70-year-old native of Indianapolis, I followed the Big O's career closely, and I never knew before this morning that he was the Curt Flood of basketball. Kudos to JJ for that nugget.
I just saw a local report on how he, and the Attucks team, didnt even get to celebrate on the Circle like other champions did. He certainly went through a lot, and didnt deserve it at all. Great player and man.
@@IndyColts317 Fun fact: Richard Lugar, the late Senator and mayor of Indianapolis, desegregated Crispus Attucks in 1971 (!)--by sending his own children to the school. I am a Democrat, but I voted for that guy every time he ran for office until I moved out of state.
ESPN did Kobe so dirty by hiding Detail behind a paywall, save for the occasional clip. I get that they wanted to sell ESPN+ subscriptions but the show would've grown so much more had they just posted the series on YT from the go.
Its crazy to me that a whole section of NBA fans are gonna know JJ Redick the analyst over JJ Redick the sharpshooter with almost 1000 NBA career games played. This pod is refreshing cant wait for more.
what an amazing time to be alive. LBJ and JJ uninterrupted talking about basketball and sport. no bullshit reporters or talking heads. i'm so thankful for this type of content.
it's crazy how there are so many casuals out there thinking JJ Reddick was an average or role player back then. This dude was putting up 18ppg at 34 and had multiple seasons where he shot above 45% from 3 with crazy high volume. Dude is one of the best shooters in NBA history.
This is absolutely gold. Too many times I've wondered when Bron would start his own podcast, share some legendary stories but I didn't even think he would honestly. This is even better though, I'm sure the stories will come but the premise is actually breaking the game down. This is gold and we love that this where Bron decided to enter Podcast world, this space is ESPECIALLY carved out for him and JJ. Two great minds dissecting basketball. Let's gooooo
THIS COMMENT. I need more after LeBron's last quote, "there's certain bigs that... he's going to leave no matter what because he's been, programmed his whole life to protect the rim."
If Michael Jordan was smart, he would somehow figure out a way to go in a business with LeBron James do you know how much money Michael Jordan could make if he somehow decided to partner with LeBron and some new product that’s just money left on the table in my opinion, but whatever I couldn’t be in Michael Jordan‘s positionI would’ve played the game exactly the way he played it you know like being coy about it but at this point, I would’ve reached out and tried to make some money even though Michael don’t need anymore money that money could be used to change other peoples lives
@@basketballgod2791money left on the table for not partnering with eachother lmao you’re one of those 12 year olds that thinks he’s a financial wizard 😂
one of the best things a pure basketball fan can come across… 2 guys who’ve played at the highest level of hoops, breaking down plays/sets, picking each other’s brains on their pov of hoops, embracing the pioneers of basketball, etc. loved this episode 💯
Lebron James and another elite nba player and reporter in reddick, talking about just the nba and not hot topics, this WONT be recreated even if they tried
Shout out to the editor who makes this pod REALLY approachable for people who don't really know the technicals of hoops. As a massive hoophead for the last 3 decades, this was easy enough for me to understand, but my wife really appreciated being able to read the little definitions and try to understand it better. Great pod, love this format. Excellent conversation

JJ literally sitting there taking notes. This goes to show how serious and methodical he is with breaking down the game. This pod is going to be a game changer for basketball content. We just got to hear Lebron talk about basketball and not headlines!
That's the reason why LeBron is sitting there with him specifically: he's a student of the game, he has no problem calling out bullshit when he hears it, and he has no problem being quiet and taking notes when something interesting is being said in front of him. You can bet there isn't a sport journalist in the world that wouldn't have wanted to be in JJ's place, but he is there with JJ for a reason.

Man I wish my dad was still alive to watch these kinda shows with me. He passed away unexpectedly in 2013 at just 45yo. (Crazy enough Kobe died on my dads bday so that day really sucked that year lol) The game itself, the way it’s played, the way it’s talked about like this pod, and other podcasts with ex players.. man he’d love this shit. Miss him. And thank you LeBron and JJ for bringing us content like this. Can’t wait for the rest of it and to see what guests y’all bring on eventually and listen to those conversations.
JJ I'm only at minute 8 but I want to thank you for explaining the plays with the board, so we can understand your terminology faster, please keep doing it in the next episodes🙏🏽
i feel like what makes his interviews great is that he doesnt try to control it, he lets it flow naturally, and actually listens. reminds me a lot of shannon sharpe.
Literally the podcasting standard on hoops. There are some really solid hoop pods out there with people who know the game and can communicate it, but Bron and JJ are on another planet of articulation and experience.
Maan how much I hate that shouting stuff that many of em do. They cant argue instead they shout just like in kindergarden. Shouting their opinion like it has to be true just because is their opinion. Like it was written in the bible or something.

Hell no dude comes off cringe after alot
He's aight
EVERY SINGLE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER should be watching this podcast DILIGENTLY and studying
Just sent the episode to my middle school son who plays basketball and wants a career as a player or basketball executive or commentator and told him this podcast is a MUST.
Without a doubt
Just sent this to my son
Y'all probably should tell your kids to do their homework. Less than one percent make the NBA
This is actually breathtaking we true basketball fans deserve this. We’ve been force to listen hot takes culture for to long. I enjoyed this no narrative, no agenda, no comparison, no clickbait, no tearing down one another. Just pure basketball take I’ve learned a lot that I’ve never heard on any basketball platform. Thank you JJ and bron.
As a basketball fan who never played organized basketball, a pure watcher, a really appreciate all of the play descriptions and breakdowns
This is the most respectful comment section with no GOAT talk towards LeBron I’ve ever seen.
bc nobody cares end of the day. Lebron Jordan Kareem Magic ect are all time greats all the goat talk is just fanboy nitpicking
Because we done with the 90’s 😂
I can appreciate this
And that’s RARE
They are censoring the bad stuff
It hurts my soul knowing that we’ll never get a episode with Kobe, this would have been right in his wheelhouse 😢
And he was SO CLOSE to doing this smh! Towards the end he was reviewing players tendencies and plays things of that nature. I still remember he reviewed James harden and showed why he would never win a championship ( just one example ).
Word.
Michael Jordan still alive I wish he would talk for once in his life.
Fr man smh
Kobe 100% would have started a podcast by now
Lebron was speaking about Rondo. If they can get him in on the podcast with those 3 together talking hoops, it’ll be the best basketball podcast of all time
Imagine if they could get Joker though...
@@markost.8944nah. If joker has the time to flim podcasts, he would prefer to ride a horse😂
@@markost.8944 he would definitely make things funnier. Idk if he’ll be able to articulate his way of playing and his IQ but I definitely not opposed to it
The on court coach. The guy that took on coaches because he felt he had a better play in mind. I'll like his bball mind on a pod
@@gilligith6715 yeah, language barrier might be an obstacle but he would be such perfect guest.
This is a whole nother level of a podcast. My highschool self would’ve been obsessed with this.
The fact that Bron can recount plays with such detail and accuracy is fascinating.
And throw his teammates under the bus
Brings me back to the playoffs when he recalled the last 5 minutes of the game against Toronto. Or even when he told his opponent where he was supposed to be on the floor 🤣
LeBrain
yeah, specially game 4, NBA finals against the Mavs, he was cooked by Barea and Terry. a smaller guard. Lebron just 8 points.
Kobe is more detailed and he could even speak multiple languages.
This is EXACTLY the kind of basketball content we've all been craving.
I swear it is. I was so excited to watch when I read these comments
Jordan after losing to the Pistons in 89 playoffs: "They were the better team and they played better today."
Kobe after losing to the Spurs in 03 playoffs: "We can make a million excuses, but the fact is we are not going to make it. Later saying, I will push myself to exhaustion"
LeBalco talking with JJ Redick on why he lost in the 2011 finals against the MAVS: "We didn't have enough complementary pieces, we had a lot of bare minimum guys"
💯💯💯
Out of the Million podcasts… all the smoke,pivot, Jeff Teague,Gil’s arena,Paul George, Kg and pierce, shaq, Darius miles and Q rich, sharpe and ocho etc etc etc…. The fact that bron chose redick over all those shows the respect
Million followers. Clean cut with no blemishes or bs. Super professional. Also he’s a sportscaster on official tv shows. So honestly it’s easy to see why. Like best of both sides
It’s called club 520

This is what ESPN coverage of basketball should strive for.
They are watching this wondering why they aren’t screaming at each other
Yepp. Rather watch this then ESPN eating the man alive
Not if they want ratings, unfortunately. JJ talked about it a few weeks back. His breakdown of plays gets 10s of thousands of views. His criticism of Doc Rivers gets millions. Blame the viewing public.
@@wth718exactly some of us we enjoy the negative than the positive. Now watch this show won’t get a lot of viewers because they actually talking about basketball. No drama, no agenda, no goat debate, no comparison and not tearing down one another. Just pure basketball take
No ESPN focuses on breaking news and more recent events
For the basketball fan who is obsessive. We aren't all casuals, just because we didn't go pro. This is what we love!
Said the exact same thing to a friend who I sent this too. Sick of basketball coverage being only being for casuals. Kendrick Perkins is a well paid basketball analyst now ffs. Things like this and the Thinking Basketball channel are game changers

I thought it was just 10 mins.
100% agree
The Glazing is crazy
This is the most mesmerizing podcast I’ve ever listened to
This was what Kobe’s show was supposed to be. I’m glad we are getting content like this.
Hmmmm😮🤫😑
was thinking the same thing... all those hours obsessing over the art of basketball - so much knowledge discovered that would've been awesome to hear from Kobe. We're lucky to have Lebron do this while he can 👍
Kobe 🐐
Kobe was too selfish of a player to have a deep understanding of the game
@@TeacherLegendary u definitely don't know crap about his career, due literally studied player's tendencies as well as the refs just so he could know where their blindspot was so he could get away with stuff. Dude was a psycho, he literally went to bill Russell for advice on leadership and then won 2 chips in a row the next 2 years ... he was always viewed as smart from all the defenders who played him.
Bron, JJ, Rondo on the same coaching staff would be insane
You could add CP3, Steph to that as well
With Shump teaching guards defense 🔥🔥🔥
Boy!
Y’all onto something. Phil handy development assistant coach
Steph is terrible @@RLPoloKing28
I cannot emphasize enough how much this type of podcast is appreciated and needed, as someone who's fairly new to basketball (3 years) but wants to learn more and more every day, a 40 minutes podcast with visual representation is the best thing that could have ever happened, there needs to be more content like this
No matter if you don't like LeBron James or love the man he is the only human being that I want to listen to talk about basketball to how it is played then and now the 2000s 2010 and 2020 this was a fantastic interview
Can't say no to that
As someone that isn’t the biggest LeBron fan, videos like this do give you a greater appreciation for his greatness and the way, his mind works
That's why he's on here..........
@terrells5763 Hes here because he enjoys the game, discussing it, and sharing his knowledge on it.
why aren't you a Lebron fan?
For sure. I’m definitely critical but man he’s a basketball savant.
for real, he doesn't do enough interviews or just letting people see what/how he thinks about basketball.
Real sickos here for the drop
Exactly what I was thinking
Bingo
the fact that they put the definition of the terminology and visual examples out there... this show is pure education and knowledge, love that
This is the Katt Williams episode for basketball. Basketball media will change forever. Thank you for the great work and making content people want to hear: the mindset of athletes, the preparation, the complexity of the plays, situations coaches can and cannot prepare for, what defensive coverage to gamble on under pressure, etc. Not since Kobe Bryant's detailed series has this level of insight been shared. Brilliant.
Bro a Kobe and Lebron podcast strictly about fundamentals of the game would’ve been astronomical🤯
Kobe is way smarter than this bum. He at least should finish that malcom X book first. One of my favorite lebron quotes: I don't want to get into a word, or a sentence back and forth. 😂😂😂
@@maxb4416Yet you’re intrigued of what this bum has to say. That’s why you’re here.
@maxb4318 lol you wild bro, the hate you have for someone you don't know personally is crazy
@josephgarrett7433 the love you have for someone who doesn't know you as well is mind blogging.
@tuneunleashed I came straight to the comment section. I didn't watch this video. I posted a comment of my own asking will lebron address the PED usage allegations. I don't care for his basketball acumen. He's a loser. I wanna hear from winners who didn't cheat the game.
the average nfl fan is so much more advanced than the average nba fan when it comes to x's & o's. this is so needed for the sport. props
Hate to say it it's true
Its definitely facts. Madden players knows the playbook and I gurantee 2k player is just mashing dribvle moves to trigger animation or spamming high pick n roll or a 'Thumb Down'😂
@@creatureofhabit7049this is a great analogy cause it’s true 😂
For sure. But I also think football requires it a little more
That's so true, NBA fans spend most of their time hating or debating who's the GOAT
Love this! I love the atmosphere and delivery. Organic and inviting. NOW FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME, please please have Mike on just once. Please. 🙏
All this talk about Basketball IQ. We need to tap into that brain of his too!
Love you guys 🤘🏼🍿🍿🤘🏼
Notable IQs to tap into as well:
AI, Phil Jackson, Magic, John Stockton, & Steph.
As a 70-year-old native of Indianapolis, I followed the Big O's career closely, and I never knew before this morning that he was the Curt Flood of basketball. Kudos to JJ for that nugget.
I just saw a local report on how he, and the Attucks team, didnt even get to celebrate on the Circle like other champions did. He certainly went through a lot, and didnt deserve it at all. Great player and man.

The only natives of america are the Indians.
@@IndyColts317 Fun fact: Richard Lugar, the late Senator and mayor of Indianapolis, desegregated Crispus Attucks in 1971 (!)--by sending his own children to the school. I am a Democrat, but I voted for that guy every time he ran for office until I moved out of state.
We have been missing this type of media since Kobe’s “Detail”. Real basketball heads appreciate this!!!
ESPN did Kobe so dirty by hiding Detail behind a paywall, save for the occasional clip. I get that they wanted to sell ESPN+ subscriptions but the show would've grown so much more had they just posted the series on YT from the go.

it's crazy how there are so many casuals out there thinking JJ Reddick was an average or role player back then. This dude was putting up 18ppg at 34 and had multiple seasons where he shot above 45% from 3 with crazy high volume. Dude is one of the best shooters in NBA history.
Calm down buddy best shooter couldn’t help shit in the playoffs
@@jndobeats if you know how to read, you would see if said one of the best not best. Sit your casual ass down
He got no rings but he was good tho don't get me wrong 😂😂
yeah JJ is like top 20 iirc in 3-point efficiency. That is not something to gloss over
@@moe_lester23 Ring culture has ya'lls brains cooked. Do you know how many all-time players don't have a ring?
This is absolutely gold. Too many times I've wondered when Bron would start his own podcast, share some legendary stories but I didn't even think he would honestly. This is even better though, I'm sure the stories will come but the premise is actually breaking the game down. This is gold and we love that this where Bron decided to enter Podcast world, this space is ESPECIALLY carved out for him and JJ. Two great minds dissecting basketball. Let's gooooo

Can you imagine if they somehow got MJ to do an episode? Seeing Lebron and MJ talk hoops would make the internet explode.
Seeing as how they both hugged it out and had a little convo in that one all star game, I think its kinda possible if they're both down
That would get a billion views in like an week.
If Michael Jordan was smart, he would somehow figure out a way to go in a business with LeBron James do you know how much money Michael Jordan could make if he somehow decided to partner with LeBron and some new product that’s just money left on the table in my opinion, but whatever I couldn’t be in Michael Jordan‘s positionI would’ve played the game exactly the way he played it you know like being coy about it but at this point, I would’ve reached out and tried to make some money even though Michael don’t need anymore money that money could be used to change other peoples lives

Exactly.
That's the reason why LeBron is sitting there with him specifically: he's a student of the game, he has no problem calling out bullshit when he hears it, and he has no problem being quiet and taking notes when something interesting is being said in front of him. You can bet there isn't a sport journalist in the world that wouldn't have wanted to be in JJ's place, but he is there with JJ for a reason.
