Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Mac is highly intelligent, and he rarely, if ever, ducks questions. He's also a great commentator.
Nothing is more accurate than what you said about Mac. He's a great commentator.
Love him.
To a degree. though he does duck the Madonna / Sean Penn thing. He doesn't say much - he could tell us actual details but I guess that would get him thrown out of the clubhouse.
When he was playing the top doubles duo would always be John McEnroe plus whoever played with him. He was an amazing, intelligent player.
You are right. He needs a podcast.
It's refreshing to hear someone famous admit to his shortcomings. There are many false egos out there but at least McEnroe tells it like it is. Still my favourite tennis player of all time.
So well put!! That ego is much bigger and effective than that little word
John is the quintessential New Yorker telling it like it is, a much-underappreciated quality, and also my favorite tennis player of all time.
When Johnny Mac calls someone intense, you know the person is extreme.
I love his humility. It makes him powerful.
As a young tennis nerd of the 80's I was a Borg man and actively rooted against John. But he had so much amazing game and you knew he brought out the best in his rivals and was part of so many legendary matches. The on court antics were one thing but as a human being he has a depth and honesty that you cannot deny and a wonderful ability to communicate. His announcing is top notch as well - best in the business. Tennis as a whole greatly benefits from him
I still remember being 13 years at the US Open and seeing Mac walk through the grounds after he practiced. I told my dad I’m going to ask his for autograph. He said, I wouldn’t if I were you. I asked him why and he didn’t give me a reason. I asked Mac for an autograph and he said, “Kid, fuck off!” I never doubted my father again
I wish you’d sent it right back at him.
That’s actually a better story to tell, than just a quick scribble and him totally ignoring you. (Still kinda sucks though.)
Did your dad hear?
@@owie4070 yep.
@@carlbaumeister3439 I was sort of speechless
Love the Patty Smythe story about you don't play tennis...Exactly!
"I want to play doubles with you at Wimbledon". "You don't play tennis" "Exactly" Too funny
I love his style and the fact that he knows what he can do and he knows what he can't. Totally self aware.
SuperMac is also super-honest. He has a good awareness of what he's genuinely good at and where he just doesn't cut it. That's so refreshing.
(BTW, I'd like to have heard more about his friendship with Paul McCartney. I didn't even know they'd ever met!)
He has a very nice British self depreciating sense of humor.
This video is living proof of McEnroe''s amazing self awareness. May we all be so self- aware.
Beyond the fact that John is an outstanding tennis legend, he is a very interesting, honest and an exceptional person. It is always a great pleasure to hear his analysis.
I love Mac and his honesty
Johnny Mac...he was one of my boyhood heroes...loved his fiery personality and on a tennis court he was pure genius. He's a damn good comedic actor too...checkout the episode of Curb your Enthusiasm with Larry David...Mac slays it.
Was a legend on the court. Now a legend in life
He is such a fun honest & most interesting man. One of the Best broadcasters ever. Awesome tennis player.We just love listening to him so honest so informative compassionate & one hell of a great man.
As a non-musician he confirmed something that I always wondered -- its gotta be much more difficult than people realize to play an instrument properly and sing properly at the same time... I'm sure it becomes easy over time, but it doesn't look easy
I love when his wife told him, with a totally serious face: "Sure you can play in my band, and I will compete with you in mixed doubles at Wimbledon."
Should have divorced her right there
John is never dull.
love this guy,so brutally honest,
For me John was the best, he gave his all,he cared too much and it showed, I loved him, and he’s a great commentator.
It is only yesterday he was playing in the court. How time flies
When McEnroe answers a question he never completes a sentence lol. He gets halfway through one thought and sentence, then its like he's struck by lightning and starts a completely different one right in the middle.
Love these two and the Mac stories
I like McEnroe so much. Even when he was a brat…he’s obviously grown up so much…he was always real and so exciting to watch. That’s when footwork was a part of tennis and it wasn’t all power serve. That’s why we both like Federer so much. He has such a well rounded game
Great interview.
I can listen to Johnny mac for hours. What a life! I also respect that he gave his kids with tatum every financial advantage sent them to the best colleges and expects them to now forge their own careers bot be just rich trust fund babies. I respect that. His son sean changed his last name to oneal probably bc dad doesnt hand him 50 million. Kevin is a bar tender , sean has changed his passion a few times first actor than musician than photographer. Emily is a babysitter. These are not really careers and they are all in their 30s these are side jobs at college.
When he's not throwing tantrums he's actually quite funny.
I thought his tantrums were funny too.
Seeing a 5’2” grown man throwing a tantrum isn’t funny?
@@TheRealCaptainFreedom
Mac is 5'11 and won 8 tennis majors.
OK Private Freedom.
@@prayingmantis6777 Whatever he’s still a little bitch and his biggest achievement in life is hitting a fuzzy neon yellow ball. Kinda puts things into perspective, no?
@@TheRealCaptainFreedom
Come on man...YOI CAN NOT BE SERIOUS! Tennis is no different than any other sport.
As a matter of fact it's probably harder because it's only you to blame when you lose and not the team. Give John some credit for bringing some fans to the sport.
The Man has just aged so well he looks like he could still go out and do a 5 setter.
I met a guy who worked for McEnroe at his tennis center. This is when Mac was about 55. The guy told me that top pros would stop by and sometimes he'd play a set with them. He'd rarely lose. The guy told me mac could handle just about anyone for one set. There's a video on youtube of him playing an exhibitiion with Kei Nishikori a few years ago and he beat Nishikori pretty easily. He played some serve-volley against him, McEnroe style, and Nishikori just couldn't handle it.
Johnny Mac is tennis legend but the thing that I admire most about him is he scored The Warrior! Love Patty Smythe.
Who’s the hunter, who’s the game?
to think at the Borg vs McEnroe era, I didn't like him. Now I'm old, I understand him and I love him. Absolute Legend and great sense of humour too. We need more people like him.
"The more I played guitar, the more I appreciated my tennis."
You were getting over the first Dunning-Kruger hurdle. You had learned just enough about to music to realize just how little you knew about it.
Oooohh maaaan! Here I've enjoyed hating this guy for decades, I regret ever watching this. Now I feel this weird respect for his grasp on reality and his self- awareness and candour.
You have the best backdrop.. background/color combination you can tell it's one of your interviews if there's no vocal or not
Well done John.Great great Tennis Player.Very honest interview.💚
The funny thing is Madonna told Tatum O ‘ Neal to dump JOHN
John McEnroe was a damn good tennis player, but watching his on court antics and yelling at the judges was entertaining...
This was funny and I enjoyed it..thank you...
Mac obviously found the right woman in Patti. I remember when he dated Stacy Margolin and was married to Tatum O’Neal.
John looks very well here , ageing very well , looks like a older Anderson
John still as hyper as ever, someone said a great commentator, I love tennis, and when he commentated it was better than the match, dont know how Patty puts up w/ him, but he found his match (off the court), glad she's the singer though!
love you Mac!
Haven’t watched tennis since McEnroe
My hero❤
Love this guy
I love Johnny Mac!!
"Paul McCartney, i count him as one of the Beatles" No shit John! Lol.
Thanks, Graham.
McEnroe can be seen at the 4 min mark. Clearly he understands SKILL and the lack there of.
I thought McEnroe was the Sean Penn of tennis and vice versa.
I can’t imagine what it would be like to be friends with Paul McCartney how lucky is Mr. McEnroe
Great tennis superstar, great tennis commentator-makes loser and tennis likable to all.
Don't know much about his family and private life but my well wishes to John.
i love you man so smart
Cool interviews. Show me a great competitive and successful sportsman who inst arrogant. Maybe overstepped the mark many a time but no question he was a great of the game!
Great value
Maybe he should start a band with buddy Paul and call it The Lefty Macs . . .
There’s way more to this interview than the caption.
I'd love to hear the album ... I think. Let's just say that I'd love to TRY listening to his album. So what if it isn't perfect or totally top notch - I'd just like to hear him expressing himself that way. If millions of people can enjoy that dumpster fire of an album from the soundtrack of Mamma Mia ... anything is possible!
McCartney. . I assume Mac picked up all the tabs
Seems like McEnroe has finally slayed some of his dragons. At least I hope so for his sake. John, if you’re listening here - Jesus is the only way to really slay them and he’ll take care of them all for you if you’ll just let him.
These 2 are definitely not on the same wavelength. John says things expecting a reaction and gets nothing.
It's their business and nobody else's
I used to give his brother Mark guitar lessons in the late 70s. Cool interview. I think Mark actually is a better guitar player than John. hahahaha
When John is gone you gonna find a bitterly written diary hidden in his locked desk saying:
Gotta beat Bjorn Borg.
Damn that Bjorn Borg character.
Can't rest, thinking of Bjorn.
ventende what the fuck are you on about? He did beat Borg in 3 out of 4 slam finals. Head to head 7-7.
Because the only final people care about is the 1980 classic. This bothers John big time. It haunts him.
you're an idiot ventende.
BC, he made Borg retire😆
I want to hear that record. Probably a tough listen. Just call it what it is a bar band, same thing the writer Stephen King does. We all can't be the next Zep.
he didn't throw his tennis racket on the ground, i want my money back.
'I'm going to play doubles with you at Wimbledon': classic. A little dose of reality for a wanna-be.
both people are very lost.
It's sad :(
Not wanting to take away a job from a more deserving person.
Wow!
Epic

Gfy
John
Cheers
If u hate John McEnroe. It’s on you ..
I love New Yorkers. Both McEnroe and Trump.
Too bad most of NY hates Trump lol
@@user1138 That’s prolly to Trump’s credit.
Trump now lives in Florida and most of NY is very happy he is gone except racist Long Island.
@@user1138
Nope. Most of NewYorkShitty.
Upstate is for Trump and against the welfare crowd.
@@mtadams2009
Florida is better than NY.
How... does this tennis player know Madonna???
I think he's downplaying his violence
Suddenly McEnroe has hair!
Madonna got filled by everyone, old news
Boy he still can’t sit still he’s great tho
What the hell is he on
I think Sean beat the fck out of Madonna.
You cannot be serious !
McEnroe seems to regard humans beings who have achieved fame and fortune as being the most successful. That’s a pity.
Ah stop. Go easy on the great man. Start with Trump and maybe get to mac in like 50yrs. Lot more people in front of him in the queue
How to say a lot but say nothing at the same time.
Humanity spends way to much time on fools.
Actors are usually the worst musicians until tennis people wanted to be musicians.
Music is a funny thing. Unique in some sense whereby technique has nothing to do with quality. I mean, there are probably ten million better guitarists in the world right now than Kurt Cobain ever was, but he wrote some of the greatest songs ever with the limited abilities he had. You can play guitar ten hours a day for ten years, and yet somehow still suck.
He’s semi-entertaining in this interview, but I still wouldn’t care if he walked into the room.
What a terrible interviewer; a smug dandy in love with himself.
Nearly all modern American "journalists" are narcissistic SJWs with zero talent. Fucked their way to the top.
I think he’s good.
creepy
boring
Paul McCartney sucks
i just remember you were a big baby on the court, throwing tantrums. That's all
tim fred lf you can remember the tantrums, then surely you can recall the great player he was.
funny how americans all wax lyrical about Paul, "one of the best people who ever lived" my god its Paul Mccartney what has he done it the last 40 years. On his own he is a mediocre singer
Maybe you should listen to him. He’s magic.
@@carlbaumeister3439 yea I made a stupid comment .I think I was having a bad day.
@@opinionday0079 Welcome to the club! I make stupid comments every day - just ask my wife :-)
How Madonna was remotely successful is beyond me.
His tantrums are ridiculously immature....just like bob knight throwing the chair- the powers that be cared more for money than decency. Sad
Beatles are overrated AF. Let's be honest.
Always an attention seeker?
BluGyal Uh no. You're thinking of corny Elvis.
BluGyal They may not have been the most gifted musicians, but their influence on popular music is immense.
BluGyal Honestly, the Beatles were great AF.
Dumfries Spearhead Exactly! I totally get the influence on pop culture they were huge BUT as skilled musicians I don't think so.
and who is this MCENROE... wait, I dont have the time to care.,
A VERY famous dude .... who are you? An internet presence who will likely disappear like a vapor trail .....
You don't have time to care yet you are on here having watched it ? Moron !!!
Where is your brain????? It rides on the name MADONNA, plus Sean Penn. If you ever decide to pick a profession, stay away from Marketing or anything that would require to get people INTERESTED in something.
Fame, ha ha ha, in this era.... and I'm an internet presence... no actually, I'm not even going to seek recognition on a RUclips comment section, Mr. Kevin Marshall. You might want slap your CV on your profile page and hope that someone from New Caledonia or Timbuktu would care.
But time to watch and comment? Ok . . .
