McEnroe is an excellent commentator on everything. I could listen to him talk about anything.
Yes. I love love to have a dinner or coffee with him.
I feel the same way lmao
There’s a documentary on Crave called McEnroe if you haven’t seen it you’re missing out because it’s excellent
I hope I’m as captivating at that age.
true

"My arch-nemesis, Yvonne Lendl"
Thank you captions. I had a real good laugh at that one 😂😂
Ivan. That's how you pronounce it in Czech.
@@musicjunkieflI guarantee you they know that. 🌚
I would love to see John break down scenes of Prince of Tennis. I'd love to see him tear the series up over how exaggerated and ridiculous it is at times haha
GQ afraid weebs will cancel them lmfao
Lmaooo I would absolutely back this. Baby Steps would be the safer option, but why not both? 🤔
Dude I wish they did that😂
It is shonen anime with tennis as the backdrop. You might as well criticize Mario tennis as unrealistic.
i thought the thumbnail was him when he was younger and was about to comment that’s he looked exactly like Shia Leboeuf 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I used to literally hate MacEnroe all the way back in college. But now he's one of my favorite commentators. He has the courage of conviction and says it like he sees it. In this corporate-dominated world of ours, that's a rare thing to see.
I was 10 when Mac played Borg and I always routed for Borg, now as an adult I realized how brilliant Mac was also!
Bjorn Borg drives a Saab. That ad campaign is burned into my soul, somehow.
McEnroe could provide commentary on almost anything and be still interesting to listen to.
Mr. McEnroe commentary on all things tennis is fascinating. #Thanks
Yes, loved his appearance on Curb Your Enthusiasm as well.
love this!
Hi Venus Williams.
One of my favourite tennis players, the man had total control of his emotions, the one and only John McEnroe
McEnroe transcends Tennis the same way Charles Barkley transcends Basketball just a very likable guy, very honest.
I always enjoy listening to McEnroe. Great video
As a Johnny Mac fan and a lifelong tennis player who started with a Jack Kramer racket, I have to say the Baumer breakdown at Windswept fields is by the far the best tennis scene ever. Hilarious.
Jack Kramer raquet!! What a begginers classic!! I began with an aluminium junior Dunlop. I was in love with that raquet. I put it inside my bed as a child and slept with her
Would of loved to hear Johnny Mac's thoughts on the Vitas Gerulaitis scene in Borg vs McEnroe. Out of the entire movie, that scene was spot on. Looked and felt just like Vitas.
would’ve*** = would have
It would've been cool to see him critique Alfred Hitchcock's 'Strangers On A Train'. Lengthy tennis scene in that one.
fantastic commentary by John McEnroe. The best in Tennis!
I love John McEnroe! I loved him as a player and I love him as a commentator.
I am a swede and grew up with these guys...Love McEnroe!!!
Recently saw Johnny Mac at the Laver Cup. What a swell fella
Jonnie Mac rambles, people. That’s what he does. Personally I can listen to him ramble all day.
What an excellent speaker Mr. McEnroe is and I enjoyed hearing his thoughts on all the films. I loved this video!
MacEnroe's legs and arms were like twigs
Most natural tennis great. Very articulate and sense of humor.
What about "The Break" 1995 movie? Although it's old, I was expecting his professional expertise on that one. This movie illustrates the important process of tennis tour in America, which young talents go through before reaching the bigger stages of competition.
Imagine being on a plane and seeing John McEnroe watching Borg vs. McEnroe.... awkward, lol
not awkward but fascinating. I would ask him the questions he already answered. How realistic/accurate was Borg vs McEnroe? did they portray tennis in a favourable light, did u like the movie? did it 💔 Ng back happy memories?
And u absolutely rock, keep doing tennis commentary.
McEnroe is endlessly fascinating.
Great talk interview John
Great breakdown John!
I'd be curious to hear his take on the Hitchcock film "Strangers on a Train" and the tennis scene there.
John is the best. Love you John!!
You might not like what he says or how he says it but McEnroe always tells it the way it is. Such respect for the guy.
I heard a lot of good things about King Richard. Mac's endorsement makes me want to see it that much more.
It is a great movie. Only negative I have is the girls should have been taller.
Super honest !! Thank you John!!
I could listen to John all day talk about tennis
Wonderfully said Mr. McEnroe.
The best tennis movie ever I think was Players with Dean Paul Martin and Ali McGraw. Tennis was superb because Dean was an actual pro.
My dad has that training video John is referring to. I don’t remember specifically the drills he and Ivan ran, but I vividly remember the opening.
“Hi, I’m John McEnroe.”
“And I’m Ivan Lendl.” (In Llendl’s Czech accent).
Best tennis commentator in history
"I guess at one point he got mad" lol. That's hilarious. Borg was rather reserved.
13:54 here he goes again calling someone a moron?! 😂 j/k Mr. McEnroe what a legend. Thanks for the commentary
Always the entertaining guy😀👍🏼
Mac should've reviewed the movie Players. At least Dino Paul Martin could really play. Plus he"s in that movie as well.
Mac's one of those people who can talk about anything and always be interesting.
He comments on everything.....even comments on a life of a high school girl 🤣
McEnroe is so unintentionally funny. 😂
More movies need to be made on Tennis, one specially on Federer.....
I been waiting for a tennis breakdown purely because its a sport i know so little about😂
I’ve never watched video where John McEnroe is talking that I find boring. He always come with something special an interesting
0:43i have never seen any pro tennis player playing a point with a ball in their hands LOL
Subtitles say "Yvonne Lendl". I like that.
I've always liked John
FUN FACT: 0:46 voice of Spongebob SquarePants and a bunch others. Tom Kenny
Love McEnroe!
Grandissimo John!!! 👍🇮🇹
Would love to see him shred "Challengers"
This is incredible.
I enjoyed this.
@9:00, notice he caught himself saying Serena Williams is the greatest athlete, then correctly corrected himself to add greatest female athlete. Hahahaha.
This brings back that NPR interview where he got in hot water for saying she would be ranked 700 among men, or something like that. Love you Johnny Mac.
No one in tennis disputed his statement; not even Serena Williams.
Legend!
luv the shirt... Mac
12,054 views, 270 likes, 21 comments, 1.01M subscribers. Nice!!
M is roman numeral for one THOUSAND ....
I always get into arguments when I tell friends McEnroe was the best tennis player I ever saw !
I thought that tirade happened in 81, the year Mac won Wimbledon. The movie was based 1980. Am I right?
The movie took liberties with the timeline.
HOW did this entertaining, knowledgeable guy lose his talk show...?
Yeah and it was reported that the show got a rating of 0.0.
He had a talk show?
If anyone was going to tell it like it is, it's McEnroe
Yep King Richard is the best tennis movie so far.
No 3-set match should have a bathroom break. It's turned into a scourge for the game and for fans. Maybe a 5-setter you can be allowed 3 minutes IF you're willing to give up a trainer break.
8:01 "WimbleTon" smh
John what about Player you where in it...
Incredible thank you Mr McEnroe 🔥🔥
I was so hoping he would comment on Tennenbaum tennis, but was bummed he took it so literally and didn’t understand it’s just making it extreme so you can feel the metaphor and the emotion of when you’re having a melt down.
yeah, I wouldn't call Royal Tennenbaums a tennis movie. One character is a tennis player & there's a total of about 30 seconds of him playing tennis. But hey, there's not that many tennis movies so I guess we gotta include it.
@@lynnturman8157 - agreed that it’s not a tennis movie per se, but that scene is one of the all time great tennis scenes.
Mac should have just played himself in this movie. He still has the athletic ability and with AI/CGI technology, he could age 'younger.'
Bobby Riggs FOR SURE threw the match, JMac keeps it real
Did he even break down the tennis scenes in these movies? All I heard was McEnroe talk about John McEnroe.
He was an immensely talented champion, but he was and still is full of himself.
Does McEnroe not know that they use body doubles for the actual tennis playing in most movies?
70’s movie Players about a qualifier making the finals of Wimbledon/ love story had some outstanding tennis scenes.
Imagine Sheldon acting as Djokovic. You pick other actors for Rafa and Roger lol :D
Roger Federer can be played by Joaquin phoenix, the guy that played emperor in the movie 'Gladiator' ,look up the last fight scene in the movie 'Gladiator' if you're not convinced..
at the end of the day it is just a movie. it's never going to be an exact replica. what it should be is entertaining, first and foremost. What i think is important is that they capture the SPIRIT of what it is they are portraying. and i think the movie did a good job with that.
No john. It was like that. I was there. He was a god and you weee a punk. Just a super talented skinny punk:)
Actually his legs WERE that skinny.
He should fully watch the royal tennenbaums cuz tennis was not the focus
Bathroom break omg! It should not be allowed, absolutely. Imagine in boxing a bathroom break? 🚽👀
Why didn't any young ladies make that offer to me when I was hitting tennis ball cans consistently in practice at college? All I got was a 10 dollar bill.
Bobby Riggs was like, what, 85 years old when he played BJK?
55.
JM talks and rants like Larry David.
I thought McEnroe had a better sense of humor. How do you not take Royal Tenenbaums for the comedy it is.
He’s just so literal when it comes to sport, his art collection isn’t that way. I don’t get it either - that scene nails what it feels like to me when I have had a break down on the court.
John, I would love your opinion on the 5th set, which is recent French movie. Maybe the end is not so realistic, but the whole story looks real, and emphasizes on the 'anonymous' players. m.ruclips.net/video/mr2iOLwo080/видео.html
serena williams
Mac and roll quit doing his homework a long time ago about new upcoming tennis players it's time been time for him to step down and let somebody else do the commentary
When John says "pretty good movie" it sounded like Donald Trump 🙂epic 🙂
the first three were done by cgi. in wimbledon the tennis was terrible. i'd say tennis was probably the best in 'strangers on a train'.
❤❤❤❤
Mac was super skinny😂
Wimbledon...I was hoping to listen to him critique the "tennis" matches.
It’s a pity that fool Will Smith is in King Richard, as I wont watch it with him in it
That movie Borg vs McEnroe was awful.
Fist
Fist indeed
Serena admits she would lose badly to top men players
First
Congrats you want a 🍪?...gtfoh🤡
Yes
No conozco un jugador más irritante que este señor ahora sí alteración ego es Kyrgios.Deberis excusarse por tantos errores
