As a Miami fan, we need more! Please get Bam another big. Plumlee woulda been perfect
31:47 The segment about you guys gambling with teammates is hilarious because the amount of money that is being thrown around is crazy 😂
Please get Kyrie on the show.
Favourite episode yet! JR was mad entertaining and compelling to listen to and the respect between he and JJ was noticeable! 🙏
Ngl this was one of the best eps. Instant classic. I'd watch 12 more hours of this easy. Live stream Booray !!!
Love JR man, the Chris Paul story had me crying 😂😂😂😂
You can tell there’s more to this interview that wasn’t shown. I hope one day we can see what wasn’t said
JJ can we please get time stamps!! Thank you 🙏🏽
cp3 talktalktalk lol
One of the funnest Knick players I’ve had the pleasure to watch. Our current team is good, but those Melo years were pretty hype despite the lack of success.
This interview should've been longer
That’s the problem the media don’t speak on how coaches general mangers fck players careers up
This dude was a lot more interesting that I thought he would be.
If that Denver team had Chauncey Billups in Denver while Allen Iverson was still there. They would have beat my Lakers, they would have been Champions. They would have been MULTI Champions. Imagine Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony, Kanyon Martin, Nene and with either Allen Iverson or JR Smith coming off the bench!!!!!
What's up JJ community? Why isn't anyone tagging time frame so I could just skip to when this dude talks about the Cleveland years?
🔥🔥🔥
Yo JR Smith has the perfect energy that matches with JJ and the crew. I hope he joins this podcast. He would be a great addition with JJ on here. Or he should do his own podcast I would love to watch a JR Smith podcast.
Ouch J.J., this is coming from a Timberwolves fan, but I understand 🤣🤣🤣
1:08:30 is why you’re here. Thank me later but also watch the whole podcast 🤝
JJ ANDDD JR 🔥🔥🔥🔥?? 2 of the best conversationalists in media tbh
