As a die hard Knicks fan from Brooklyn, this episode was AMAZING to watch! I will never forget the Knicks Tape era with Melo, Kidd, Stoudemire, Shump, JR, Tyson and Mike Woodson as the headcoach. That squad was A PROBLEM! So many wondferful memories! Love the podcast and keep doing ya thang Champs! All Love
Like I always said, everyone says Melo can’t play defense but you can’t pull up no clips of people just going at him killing him. People just wanted him to be a lockdown defender and he was actually solid when on ball tbh.
Shorty ain’t really ever lock anybody up and some highlighted plays showed he didn’t even try but he WAS A BUCKET. he’s the one that doesn’t need to tire out
It’s kinda nice seeing Rudy gay you always been one of my favorite basketball player. This is a wonderful podcast. I’m super excited. All you guys are together to build this to the bottom to the top. Keep up the good work you guys.
Mero got other projects he said he’s working on so he can’t commit to doing it weekly anymore.. my son getting to the bag just incase yall wondering about him lol
Melo's energy is so different here. He's actually talking normally. It feels like he's chopping it up with his boys. He was never this free with just Mero.
@@johnhansenbristow2900 bruh he used his podcast voice with Mero, its not a bad thing its just different. Rud and Shump are probably making him too comfortable.
@@odysseymack9122 i get that but both versions of this show are products and I'm just making an observation about both. Heck I posted this because someone else commented that it was wack without Mero and I saw it differently
we need a part 2 ik theres so many more stories shump can tell, his time in houston and other places. please bring him back and have rudy gay hosting again yall are a great trio
Season 2 ending should be a knicks tape reunion at the Garden. Melo, Baron, Chandler, Sheed, J Kidd, Shump, Novak, JR, Pablo prigrioni, and coach Woody
I was born in the cold north in Sweden in '88, and while we consume American culture to a very high degree, my dad somehow dropped the ball (pun intended) on introducing me and my brothers to NBA basketball. Sure, the 6-8 hour time difference played a part in not watching live games, but we never actually watched the game of basketball, just Space Jam and shit. I started watching the game in 2011. I bought a league pass and I knew New York was gonna be my team. Flat top Shump, JR and my favourite player of all time, Carmelo was on that Knickstape team. Novak, Felton, Metta, Chandler, Chris Copeland, lmaoo. These names coming back. That was one hell of a team and era. Eventually I flew to NYC with a friend and we went to the garden to see yall beat the Bucks with a rookie Giannis on the team. April 2014 I believe. Thank you. Amazing episode! Also, Kazeem crushed it, held it down.
5:49 prolly one of the most egregious pause worthy moments ive ever seen and everyone let him finish his story. That’s maturity lol. “Let me get my imprint in there”
What would be dope.. for us Knicks fans.. is to get these Knicks players that you played w on the pod.. stat, chandler, Kidd, Felton, prigioni, Novak, jr etc
This was an amazing episode! NY Shump was an was an era! What a time. You can tell they could talk for hours about so many topics.. they didn’t even dive into Shump & acting cuz the convo was flowing.. enjoyed this. The cohost didn’t have to end it so quick!
One of the funniest episodes I've seen from a podcast in a long while. Thank you Champs for sharing your experiences with us.
Shump needs to be the constant 3rd person. Him and Melo go mesh perfectly.
Thoroughly entertained! I was stuck! 😭
Diabolical 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
wish kid mero was there. he is the energy guy like shump
@@kginyang I do not care what you wish for fam, I aint Santa clause. Go slide in his Dms and say that to him then. I enjoyed this episode completely.
every pod shump goes on is a hit this has been long overdue
Basketball players have really taken over the podcast space….I love it
I’ll never skip an Iman Shumpert interview/podcast 😂
Shump & Teague tell the best stories be having me rolling 😊
Facts 💯 don't forget J.R Smith
💯
No cap.
KG ahead of Teague to me as far as storytelling. Teague just got an impeccable memory lol
Shump on 520 would be crazyyyyy 🔥🔥🔥 was he there for the bron push?
Shump need to be a reoccurring guest. his story telling is impeccable 🤣🤣🤣
🤣📠!
kg the best tho.
Oml🔥🤣
Need him to comeback with swish
Not only that but he really made Melo come out his shell more. Melo be standoff-ish alot of the time but he seemed alot more free here.
jr smith need to be on the show asap
He be solo fr
OMM
Mero set a good pace in the conversation and was definitely needed for this one
I totally agree it was to much talking over each other the new co-host where really acting like fans/groupies fam
Where Mero at?
Please get STAT on the show.. it’s a must see.. I need to see Amari, melo, jr and shump all on the couch together
MELO....OVER A BASKETBALL GAME!!!
Yall aint shit 😂
😂
😂😂😂😂
We need everyone from that moment on the pod
@@en.4392nah deadass!
I need a Melo, Man, and JR pod 🔥
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
42:15 “it’s whatever 5iver! If you say they don’t come LA they don’t 5iver”
shump BDavis Impression is impeccable!

They did Woodson dirty
Like I always said, everyone says Melo can’t play defense but you can’t pull up no clips of people just going at him killing him. People just wanted him to be a lockdown defender and he was actually solid when on ball tbh.
Melo only ever played defense under Woodson and when he did, he did a great job 🙏🏻
@@MFCHYLLhe played defense in Denver too. Especially in the playoffs. Go watch that series against the lakers. He wuz locked in. Guarding Kob too
Melo plays defense against players he respects 🤷🏽♂️
Melo picks and chooses when he plays defense. That my guy but wasn't locking mofo's up
Shorty ain’t really ever lock anybody up and some highlighted plays showed he didn’t even try but he WAS A BUCKET. he’s the one that doesn’t need to tire out
It’s kinda nice seeing Rudy gay you always been one of my favorite basketball player. This is a wonderful podcast. I’m super excited. All you guys are together to build this to the bottom to the top. Keep up the good work you guys.
Yall tripping Rudy dope on this podcast ! He one of the only SF to give all the greats BUCKETS
He an incredible co host and addition. True hoopers hooper
Big facts. Rudy valid
This gotta be my favorite episode all time. Took me back to Knicks Tape era. That real New York.
NBA Live & 2K battles with the Knicks tape was legendary back then in the early 2010's.
KG talks starts at 30:50
I came here looking for this. Thanks!!
Appreciate you 🙏🏾
Cheers to you buddy 😎
Real MVP
🫡
Does anyone else remember Chris Smoove’s 2k15 Knicks MyCareer
Classic
He went crazy lmao
😂😂😂
Number 27 to Number 21
Houston we have a problem 🔥🔥
We need the whole knickstape for two hours lmao
Been waiting years for that KG story!! 😂
Dead @ 43:12 "melo over a basketball game" 😭😭😭
HILARIOUS!!! I replayed that part, like 7 times.
This a top tier episode. Great energy, laughs, story telling. We need a part 2!
Finally Iman Shumpert. Now we need JR Smith and then Shumpert and JR together.
Melo the “Pardon the left” champ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Explain
Idk what it means but I’m using it for sure
@@DBake68it’s a variation of pause
@@SDF-oo6kuit’s a sign of disrespect
@@DBake68 it’s like saying no homo
Mero got other projects he said he’s working on so he can’t commit to doing it weekly anymore.. my son getting to the bag just incase yall wondering about him lol
Nobody worried bout main man
I was just about to ask about Mero..that’s dope he getting to his bag. But Rudy Gay and Shump is super dope
He told you? I was definitely looking for him
Thank you for saying this. I was wondering what was up
He do not know you😂
The LeBron segment..just shows you how smart dude is picking players
time stamp?
@@kreezyn1:18
Pause when shump said "nah im going" that was felt by anyone whoever really lived what he was talking. This was a powerful interview thank you 7pm 🙏🏽
Need shump on more of these. I still say Knickstape to this day man. Lets go
Mero missing this one is crazy
Melo had that B-More accent strong 💪🏽 at da beginning of the video.. 😂😂
Y’all gotta do the “nasty jersey awards” weekly 😂😂😂😂😂
SHAQ CELTICS THE WORST OF ALL TIME! 😂😂
32:17 aye this moment of confusion 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 priceless
Man that Knicks squad was so dope
gotta get shump on here regularly! need swish asap too
@19:25 Bruh, why Iman's "Amare Stoudamire" impersonation spot on???? 😂🤣
That shid was 🔥 🤭
Big dawg gotta eat 😂😂😂😂
Melo has NEVER told the TRUE story on what KG said that time and finally someone telling the truth!!
Shump already told this story years ago on VladTV
@@versatillion15 Really? Then, why Melo kept telling a different story all these years?
@ what different story?
@@versatillion15 Melo said KG never said his name and that was a damn lie!!!
Part 2 please 🙏 ❤ I've never laughed that much, shump is proper entertainment 👌🏽🤌🏾
8:45 Rudy got melo tight lmfao
Rudy gay was a good addition idk bout this other guy
Then u don't watch basketball to not kno who shump is
@@THESMOKYSHOW762he talkin about the dark skinned dude with the media background I keep forgettin his name.
@@THESMOKYSHOW762Shump is the guest dummy
@krispyquam5713 boy sit yo lil ass dwn somewhere before I take my belt off tf who u talking to u better learn some manners
@@THESMOKYSHOW762must not know the difference between a guest and host. He isn't even talking about Shump.
That Chicago and New York connection is epic the lingo go crazy shorty
Felt like i was talking to the boys in the locker room after practice 😂 Chief but if I dont see mero or get an explanation, its wraps.
Could watch Iman interviews all day dude story telling is top tier and he’s hilarious 😂
Melo's energy is so different here. He's actually talking normally. It feels like he's chopping it up with his boys. He was never this free with just Mero.
Cap
@@johnhansenbristow2900 bruh he used his podcast voice with Mero, its not a bad thing its just different. Rud and Shump are probably making him too comfortable.
You comparing over 10 plus years of friendship and hooping together to a couple of years of knowing someone it’s different
@@odysseymack9122 i get that but both versions of this show are products and I'm just making an observation about both. Heck I posted this because someone else commented that it was wack without Mero and I saw it differently
Idk why people are taking what u said as a bad thing lol…Melo talks different around his close friends like everyone does
we need a part 2 ik theres so many more stories shump can tell, his time in houston and other places. please bring him back and have rudy gay hosting again yall are a great trio
This one was for the people. Thank you Champ🙏🏽🔥
WE NEED A KG APPEARANCE ON 7pm BUTTON ---->
Knickstape in the building finally 🔥🔥🔥 IMAN Shump…. Should’ve got JR to join him shit would’ve been legendary 🎉
Bring Ticket on, please. Ticket, Paul and Shump at the same time would be classic
Season 2 ending should be a knicks tape reunion at the Garden. Melo, Baron, Chandler, Sheed, J Kidd, Shump, Novak, JR, Pablo prigrioni, and coach Woody
Shump a star story teller on any pod he a guest on , my guy 💪🏾
This was the episode I been waiting on since the Pod started lol
Damn, I was ready to see Shump and Mero interact. Knew he had some Knicks hot takes that Melo prob wouldn’t speak on
Melo mero shump and the girl (rudy every here and there) , boom perfect cast.
“The girl” come on man
