This is high-quality content, straight basketball talk and jokes
Much better than what we're used to from other companies
bill always hates on d wade..its totally gone to the point hes trolling us..ad is not better than 2011 d wade the finals mvp..hes just not...wade was all nba that year first team
Asmosis Jones people love to discredit lebrons teammates to make him look better
@@razkable bill has also said that peak d wade is better than peak kobe. And that d wade should have been voted higher in 2009 mvp race . Its not all negative man.
@@razkable lmao all bill said was anthony davis ceiling in 2019 is higher than 2011 d wade lol thats true
I love these two talking basketball.. That's where they shine
To me the Leonard shot a way, way more memorable than Durant getting hurt.
I disagree, the kawhi thing matters more because of KDs injury so I have to have the injury 1
LMAO i just started watcghing but if Kawhi shot isnt top 3 this aint worth watching . thanks for the heads up ! LMAO
Hey it’s the future here ! And it wasnt
Dude I'm 9 months late but the Ringer is CRAZY underrated. Comparing this to day-time shows in ESPN is not even fair. This is so insightful and fun, this deserves 1 million+ views. I'm sure sometime in the future they'll start getting them.
Should have seen it in its true glory days as Grantland
I remember watching that Portland game and when Dame hit that shot I go crazy while everyone sleeping in the house and my mom comes out and screams at me😂
worth it I'm sure
Bill "I like to say the word decade as much as humanly possible" Simmons
Ryen is 100% right about the Dame game winner vs OKC! Russ has never got out the first round without KD & yet gets praises like hes one of the best players in the league.
Bruno Varandas I agree he’s a bit over praised. But being one of 2 players to ever average a triple double is worth some great hype. Stay padding and all there’s no one else the past 2 years doing that on a night to night basis.
Michael English stat padding his way to early playoff exits
#13: Russillo signs with The Ringer. Bill & Russillo together are like the LeBron & AD of the media world. 👑 〰️
Ryen "like we know morey" Russillo
Ryen “that reminds me of something about me” Russillo.
I love how bill had to just throw in we know this won't win the rockets the title?..me: hu?..we don't know that..also how does ryen know cp3 wanted out from hou?..he clearly didn't..he wanted a title...he liked harden..harden didn't like him...thus the trade..period...russ and harden may go down but their boys..they can overcome it..and possibly win next year...cp3 and harden was basically this season going to work or not..i trust russ to stay healthy and carry not cp3..he always gets hurt every year almost...they lost to a kd less warriors..it was over for them
Zach Lowe can never be on this Podcast/Show with these two, because that would cause a Meteor to hit the Earth.
Too much Basketball gravity.
Science!
I love Bill and Ryen but on pure basketball level they are simply not on Zach's level of understanding or just paying attention. Simmons is a bit all over the place while Zach is watching the games every single night.
I've heard Zach Lowe on Simmons' podcast a few times. They've been friends for a long time.
Neither of those 3 really know basketball well
@@horizonfios listening to these guys during the playoffs reminded me of that
Mike Bushey yeah I like listening to them but it’s a lot more popcorn than it is significant analysis
0:40 #12 = Chris Paul - Russell Westbrook Trade
5:16 #11 = The Zion Williamson Lottery
8:03 #10 = Kevin Durant's Decision on June 30
12:24 #9 = Magic Johnson's Press Conference
16:40 #8 = Klay Thompson's Playoff Injury
21:35 #7 = Damian Lillard's Series-Winner
25:32 #6 = Daryl Morey's Hong Kong Tweet
29:21 #5 = The Anthony Davis Trade
34:42 #4 = Steph Curry vs. Houston, Game 6
39:22 #3 = Kawhi and PG Sign with Clippers
43:04 #2 = Kawhi's Game 7 Buzzer-Beater
45:40 #1 = Kevin Durant's Playoff Injury
Thank you
This was a great segment, loved all the highlights and news reports through out, keep up the good work Ringer

35:35 killed me. “This was like watching the Karate Kid in real time with Twitter.” Perfect analogy for the 2019 WCSF Rockets/Warriors series post-KD injury. Everyone I was talking to went from expecting Houston to take advantage of the injury and win the series to endlessly praising Steph after Game 6 and eviscerating the Rockets for the next week. Just a hilarious and insightful moment by Ryen Russillo.
How did Russillo not brag about calling the Pelicans pick #1 during the Ringer Lottery Show? Bill would've bragged about it for a decade.
cuz hes a grounded individual
because he knew the league gave it to them so they would trade AD to the Lakers
@@alxfonso4924 if they really wanted to ensure that, they would've given the 1st pick to the Lakers and given Pelicans the 4th instead. Would've given Lakers even more leverage and could've kept either Ball or Ingram if they were willing to trade the 1st pick to the Pelicans
Because it is completely random
That's the Toronto crowd chanting "KD" as he's taken off the court. I was there chanting with everyone, but only after Serge and Kyle reminded us to be human. The tangled roller coaster of emotions that KD put us through from the beginning of Game 5 to that point was the most memorable aspect of the year for me. as a pure basketball fan The vibe felt like what gladiator fights in the Colisseum, or chariot races in the Circus Maximus must have been like. There's no other modern sport where the individual players and their unique personalities matter so much. A big point in KD's favour is that he's forgiven us - the Toronto crowd there that night.
love to see you guys do a moments of the decade
Toronto winning their first chip not being on the list at all is pure insanity 🤣🤣
Love when Ryen and Bill do pods/shows together. I would like to see Ryen, Bill,Zach,and Doris do a show oneday.
All star lineup
If you guys video record every podcast I’m all the way in. Bill , Ryan, Chris, Kevin, Robert, Jason, Mallory can all carry it
Love the cuts added in. Really adds another layer of entertainment
Good stuff, Bill and Russillo have great chemistry!
"Who was here last night, the Rolling Stones?
No, the Spurs." Hahahaha
I like this style/delivery of your content, thanks dudes. Russillo was such a great addition to The Ringer, well done Ringer Crew.
Ryen "Lizzie?" Russillo
Klay is the most underrated badass in NBA history
Russillo's epic burn of Russ at #7 was great
Looking back on all of these at the beginning of the 22-23 season is fascinating. Alot of these have had a lot of long term effects.
Bill out here spittin' BARZ
I cant help it, every time I see Russillo smile, I get the feeling that everything will be alright.
Your editor deserves a raise!
Russillo and Simmons are really good together. And the KLay injury was massive
Great video! Makes me uneasy watching it during 2020, you're so close! 😷😷😷
Draymond beefing/arguing with KD on the sideline should've been on the list. That created ALL of the speculation about KDs future for the remainder of the season.
it happened in 2018
also durant was leaving anyways because hes too much of a sensitive baby about the fans loving curry more....like no shit the team drafted him, went through injuries and bad teams, multiple coaches, and then delivered their first championship in 40 years!??!?! and then won 73 games why would they love you more?!?! FOH
i think this was for the calendar year 2019, not the 2018-2019 season
I’d wasn’t gonna stay anyway
Kd
Awesome show. Should just release it as bonus pod on The Ringer NBA Show feed. Has the poster in the back already!
For some reason this seating setup is kind of awkward. I like the face to face of book of basketball a lot better. Feels like a fun convo between buds
The real speculation about the Finals is that Toronto should have won in 4. It took the greatest drought in the history of the Finals for them to lose Game 2 on a last second Iggy three. (I think he missed his next ten) They won 13 of the first 16 quarters and totally outplayed the Warriors. It also would have allowed us to have Klay and KD this year.
The best content on the Ringer. Love this
Shout out to Russilo for the "bum fights" reference.
Loved so much Rusillo's take on Lillard shot and Westbrook flexing withouit no W to back it up...
You are looking for THAT step back fall away if you’re Damian Lillard. It’s a good shot for him which is why he took it and made it.
Aye good shit Billy keep it up
I enjoyed this so damn much. I looked at the length and was like ‘yikes’. But it flew by. Quality shift, boys.
Nice list but you better check the percentages on Dame’s deep 3s in that series Bill. He hit at the same clip from 5+ feet behind the line as PG was hitting on normal 3s. He’s been practicing those bombs since the 2018 playoffs to counter the blitz double teams he was getting - and now you see Luka, Trey, Harden all pulling from deeper too because it works. It’s an efficient shot if you practice it
I understand there were a lot of big stories off the court, but I'm hurt that Canada winning it's first-ever NBA Championship, and first for the country and city since the Blue Jays won the World Series in '93, pales compared to #9 through #12. Appreciate the love for Kawhi at #2, though! Great video overall, thanks.
Coming back to this 4 years later because the credit limit on the card for the owners is still such a good take
Love the quality of this content.
need more of these right now
Everything they said about Westbrook vs Dame was spot on
we need this every year!
45:26 "So, Hawks fans, don't expect this super-team [Sixers] to stay together forever." PROPHETIC
The Atlanta Big 3 kills me every time!
So interesting to see how much Chris Paul changed the way people see him just after 1 season with OKC. Also,looking back on KD signing with Nets. If they stayed in New Jersey,he would never sign there. The city really does matter.
The Ringer obviously knows what the trend is in the NBA, because they sure put together their superstar duo.
I like the discussion on Darryl Morey. Exactly dont pretend you're morally upright when you are just defending your personal interest
Great editing on the vids. These are legit really good.
Kept thinking I would get bored during an hour-long video of two middle-aged white dudes talking hoops, but somehow I didn't. Well done Ringer
#itsokaytobewhite
This was way better than I thought it would be.
do this again!
Thank you for this content! This goes on the short list of re watchable talk show videos.
The format of this video is a bit strange but the content is great, thanks guys
The mid-season tournament takes place Christmas/New Years.
Pre-season is intra-division round robin for 25ish games per team and leads into Holiday tournament.
Assign win values to division championships and the Holiday tournament.
Wish Ryen would talk more. Nails it every single time
Would definitely pay a subscription to watch this as a regular show, throw Verno and KOC on the panel too.
Bill Simmons is lit up.
This is such quality content from y’all big ups
This video is just so good. I know you both know it but together you're as interesting and engaging as anything going.
That reporter's eyes at 12:45
LOL. He's like "Whaaaaaaat!!"
Russillo is the man
love Ryen's tilted head smile
how about the raptors winning the title... first time a city outside of the US wins...and it doesnt even make the list... I'd like to hear the reason for that
😂😂😂
Also had the biggest parade in NBA history
Not a world view
As a Canadian with crazy deep respect for the Lowry-era Raptors, it is very unlikely that they'd have won had Klay not blown his ACL. We can debate and argue it over beers, but if you look at what Klay was doing in games 5 & 6, Toronto would have needed a 97% level performance ALL game to win G7. Highly unlikely that they could have delivered. Congrats to them for the title, but it was hollow with the injuries (also heard that someone named KD was hurt too).
I don’t know why; but any game with Kevin Harlan as the commentator....sign me up!!! 👍🏾
Russilo's "karate kid" analogy was so hilarious yet it was spot on. Like this analogy almost blew my mind that he could think it up. SMH LMAO
this is really really good contend! thank you
great video! love your work guys
Ryan "I like Rick Carisle" Russilo
ryen"closet warriors fanboy" russillo
Great job bill .
Like how the background piano music kinda sounds like the Succession theme music (knowing how much Bill loves the show). I listen to the podcast sometimes, have they ever mentioned this?
What the hell is bill talking about the worse collapse was GSW blowing a 3-1 lead
I think his point was that Toronto was trying to win their first title (while GS won the year before - he mentioned it wouldn't be 2013 Spurs because of their previous titles) and the Raptors had one year only to make it happen because Kawhi would be out the door for sure if they lost. And then you have no chance to come back and get it done the next year, which the 2016 Warriors very much had, with or without Durant.
Yea Ryan is much better when he is there for witty comments and some random insights. When he is leading a pod and trying to be serious its not bad its just less fun.
PS: Jan Vesely had a misfortune of playing for Wizards, he could have been a solid rotation guy.
Can this be a regular thing? I know 2020 more or less derailed everything for everyone and so I didn't think much of it not being there for the bubble season the following year, however. That being said, this got me into the NBA more than few other comparable vids/podcasts have, and I just felt like it would be worth mentioning such.
If you're an intern working for the Ringer that happens to stumble upon this please forward it to Bill. pls & ty
We need more of these types of videos
There definitely needs to be a rewatchable for the Karate Kid.
MORE OF THIS!
Great review!
Raptors winning their first championship and having the biggest parade in NBA history is not a top 10 moment? Nice, Bill Simmons.
Thats a badge shot for average gaurds. Dame has crazy range. Not a bad shot for Dame Dolla.
31:44 "burned some franchises when you get real Cavalier about this"
HA
Ryan's face looks as if he was the one with the Stand For Freedom Free Hong Kong tweet lol
Ryan out here with the roller
Dope podcast duo.
In hindsight how did the Lakers not only give up Ingram and the 3 picks for AD,to include zo and hart is crazy now 2 years later . Yes titles worth it but they could’ve most definitely got him cheaper
I like bill simmons so much more when he is not going on about the celtics, I am not even a laker fan nor do I dislike the celtics
I have absolutely 0 idea why the Raptors championship isn't #1 here
Lol the dame shot was the best moment
Disappointed that Dirk (and Wade I suppose) weren't on here, even if you wanted to wrap them up in #9 with Magic's insane conference that he had to hold on their night.
Great teaming up
yeah, more of this, please
Id switch 1 and 2 but great list boys
Lillard has to be the all time leader in playoff series winning buzzer beaters. Did it to Houston too.
3/12 actual basketball. I don't know if it is good or bad. Keep going
Stephen Jackson is in the stands!
