Shaq, Kobe, Iverson, KG, T Mac, James Worthy, Mitch Richmond, Chris Mullin, Dr. J, Shawn Kemp, C Webb, D Wade, Steve Nash, and many, many more! There is not a guest in the basketball world these guys can’t get. Amazing podcast!!
I totally agree. Whoever was old enough to watch bro def considers him a Legend. Peja had THAT work. Bro had a JUMPER. Imagine him in today’s game! 😮💨
They getting the folks, who don't normally do podcast! Peja would be a top 10 -20 player on this era with that cannon. He was a borderline top 20 guy in his era, but would be without question. Legit 6'9. Would be a crazy stretch 4
19 yr professional , 13 years in NBA , he was a for sure bucket for a good 10 years in the league . He had 5 seasons averaging over 20ppg . You did the damn thing Peja Stojakovic . 💯
Hearing him give C Webb his flowers is refreshing. Those early 2000's Kings teams were so fun to watch. Also NBA 2K4 Peja was scoring 50 for me on XBOX lol
dominique in greece was just crazy they paid him like 7 million per year i think that no player in europe has half of that today lol… find some videos of the fans when they won it was just a crazy overall experience
Great interview, as always. This is BY FAR the best NBA podcast because y'all LET THE GUEST SPEAK and most of the other ones are just obsessed with listening to themselves! Also, Peja is a great guest. Articulate, enthusiastic, and truly humble - notice how he always spoke about his team and his teammates even when the conversation was about his ASG appearances or MVP votes.
1:01:18 To this day, I vividly remember that Mavs vs Laker's 2011 Mother's day massacre. Every 3 pt shoot Peja made was dedicated to every 2002 Kings player that got robbed of the chip.
Yo this interview is at the top. As a basketball fan these European players like Peja is great. Haven't even finished watching the interview and I know Peja got a lot of good stories.
1:43 March 3, 1999 to be exact. For the record, Sheed played the 3 with Briant Grant at the 4 and Sabonis at the 5. Sheed had 7 pts on 3/7 shooting, 6 FOULS in 34:15 mins Peja had 0 points off the bench, 0/3 in 14:55 mins
The Yugoslavian Klay Thompson is how I would describe Peja Stojakovic, a "Catch and Shoot Killa" shout out Q and D-Miles for getting the guys we wanna hear from! 🫡 💯
WOOOOW. PEDJA LEGENDA!!! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸 ONE OF OUR BIGGEST SERBIAN PLAYERS EVER. We have similar shooter now in Bogdan Bogdanović. And when i watched pick end roll between Bogdan and Jokić it looked like im watching Pedja and Divac again. Great podcast. You are literally giving the airtime to players who must not be forgotten. Like Pedja, Andrei Kirilenko, Hedo Turkoglu. Those are players who would be 100+ milion players and much more effective. Pedja for me is top 5 Pure 3-point shooter in NBA ever behind Curry, Reggie, Allen and Klay. He would be DEADLY IN TODAY'S LEAGUE. He had a lot of injuries so he is not in top 5 when it comes to 3point made but i think he is in top 5 or 10 percentage wise. And those late late nights in Serbia watching Lakers and Kings series. Maaaan good times. And 2002 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN INDIANAPOLIS, in the cradle of basketball winning gold and that legendary win vs USA in quarterfinals (that was a good team: Reggie Miller, Paul Pierce, Ben Wallace, Baron Davis, Jermaine O'Neal, Shawn Marion, Elton Brand) that is the greatest memory and one pf the biggest success in our sports history. Vlade and Pedja and Bodiroga (greatest European player that never played in the NBA) were the Leaders. 37:53 - haahahahaha MARKO JARIĆ ludak. 😆🤣 He was always looking like a fashion model. We always laugh at him but when he was with Adriana Lima nobody was laughing anymore.
As a Pistons fan in the early 2000s, those Kings teams were my favorite matchups. We talk about Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, but Peja was my favorite shooter. He was like a less athletic, better shooting MPJ back in the day
Peja Strojayachick!! another one of them ones from my childhood! i lowkey didn’t realize he was a MVP candidate that year, but he fasho was always one of them deadly shooters you had to worry about off them screens
As a Kings fan Peja drove me crazy. Awesome in the regular season then disappeared in the playoffs. I still liked him but Sacramento has at least 1 championship if he plays better down the stretch. Still respect Peja.

Knuckleheads are the best. Monta Ellis is coming. I can feel it

one of the coldest shooters ever 🔥
Streets been waiting for this. Payroll Peja🇷🇸💵🇷🇸
Everybody wanted a jumper like Peja.
Yall be having the best guest .. yall the OG’s in this shit
And they dont partake in the messy bs drama. Just, reminiscing with dope stories and paying respect to players.
I love Peja's answer to the money question. There's wisdom there.
19 yr professional , 13 years in NBA , he was a for sure bucket for a good 10 years in the league . He had 5 seasons averaging over 20ppg . You did the damn thing Peja Stojakovic . 💯
Hearing him give C Webb his flowers is refreshing. Those early 2000's Kings teams were so fun to watch. Also NBA 2K4 Peja was scoring 50 for me on XBOX lol
Peja playing against Dominique at 17 in Greece is WILD
dominique in greece was just crazy they paid him like 7 million per year i think that no player in europe has half of that today lol… find some videos of the fans when they won it was just a crazy overall experience

Peja pure shooter! 🔥
One of the best to do it Peja!
1:01:18 To this day, I vividly remember that Mavs vs Laker's 2011 Mother's day massacre. Every 3 pt shoot Peja made was dedicated to every 2002 Kings player that got robbed of the chip.
Man I love this podcast. My fav shooter of all time. And Im a Rockets fan. Lol
Yo this interview is at the top. As a basketball fan these European players like Peja is great. Haven't even finished watching the interview and I know Peja got a lot of good stories.
Thanks for making this happen, hoopers at heart back in the day and still today.
Salute from Serbia!✊😎✊
This man was drafted in the GOATED draft class, right after Kobe.
Surprise they didn't touch on his draft class. They usually do when '96. Comes up
Y’all boys should have way more subs it shows me people are only on here for controversy and drama it’s strictly hoopin is why I tune in
Love the way yall really take us through the player's story in an organized way, lowkey feels like a movie in podcast form.
All across the world the hood is the hood and the struggle breeds warriors.
Lets goo 🔥🔥the legendary peja
1:43 March 3, 1999 to be exact. For the record, Sheed played the 3 with Briant Grant at the 4 and Sabonis at the 5.
Sheed had 7 pts on 3/7 shooting, 6 FOULS in 34:15 mins
Peja had 0 points off the bench, 0/3 in 14:55 mins
The Yugoslavian Klay Thompson is how I would describe Peja Stojakovic, a "Catch and Shoot Killa" shout out Q and D-Miles for getting the guys we wanna hear from! 🫡 💯
You should describe Klay as modern day Peja instead
I really like peja game. Good memories.
WOOOOW. PEDJA LEGENDA!!! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸 ONE OF OUR BIGGEST SERBIAN PLAYERS EVER. We have similar shooter now in Bogdan Bogdanović. And when i watched pick end roll between Bogdan and Jokić it looked like im watching Pedja and Divac again.

37:53 - haahahahaha MARKO JARIĆ ludak. 😆🤣 He was always looking like a fashion model. We always laugh at him but when he was with Adriana Lima nobody was laughing anymore.
Love this. Peja is a legend
Yes! Yes! Yes! Love Peja!
Greetings from Serbia. Peja was a great shooter. He would kill in today's awful run and gun game.
Facts life is unpredictable Peja is a legend.
We live on location! Big Q!
2-way Peja! Love that nickname
The MOST underrated shooter ever. I swear bruh.
The minute I saw the new pop-up on Peja, had yet to view the episode, but was so happy who they found 😂❤

I’m surprised every time you guys get a guest. Legendary guests.
Outstanding guest
peja's full court behind the back dime might be the greatest pass of all time, peja had that pistol pete touch
One of my fave players from that early 2000s era 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Woooooooow Peja! That’s tough
This man played 81 games and shot 43% from 3 in 2003/2004 at 6'10. One of the GOAT shooters
Yet another brilliant episode
Peja a class act … another dope episode fellas!
Peja was the original splash brother. One of the greatest shooters of all time. Big fan 🫡
As a Pistons fan in the early 2000s, those Kings teams were my favorite matchups. We talk about Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, but Peja was my favorite shooter. He was like a less athletic, better shooting MPJ back in the day
This is a GREAT ONE
Kings legend. ❤️
Great show as always, legend
I havent watched yet but this is a player. I'd love to hear from. Great job guys!
Another great episode
I love how y’all keep it strictly hoops! 💪🏿✊🏿
More international players please!
P was awesome with the jumper
Peja was nasty on the kings back then in the early 00'
Great interview ❤
If KG don’t have that monster season in 04 he’s def MVP that year, he stepped in and carried the kings when Webb was hurt
PEJA!!! I would scream his name any time he would shoot a three
The man, the myth, the legend!
One of my favorite players ever. Lowkeys sniper and bucket
Best New Orleans team ever in 08 . Peja always gets love in the 504

Great guest. What a journey to get to the league....one year at 16 to be a pro.
Peja Strojayachick!! another one of them ones from my childhood! i lowkey didn’t realize he was a MVP candidate that year, but he fasho was always one of them deadly shooters you had to worry about off them screens
*Stojaković
I feel Pejas pain man that team got robbed by the refs and with what we know now it makes it harder to stomach
1st question is always one of the best
As a Kings fan Peja drove me crazy. Awesome in the regular season then disappeared in the playoffs. I still liked him but Sacramento has at least 1 championship if he plays better down the stretch. Still respect Peja.
Great guests always
PEJA THE GREAT!!!!!
Lets goooo. As a laker fan he used to kill us
Amazing chat
This is a goodie Peja a real hooper

My basketball idol
Great One. Now go get Vlade👑👑
