After watching Nate for over 15 years, I'm still amazed every time I see him beside other NBA players. It's amazing what he accomplished at his height.
Look how jacked he is even at 35 and retired. That’s years and years and years of hard work and dedication in the weight room, and outworking the competition. Even though James Johnson is taller, he still looks small compared to Nate.
I’ve never understood why people say that Nate Robinson doesn’t look like an NBA player. Yeah, he’s short for the NBA, but if you ask random people on the street to guess which one is a professional athlete, most people would choose Nate Robinson. Dude has the muscle of a NFL player.
Wow James Johnson is cool as hell for someone who’s never lost a kickboxing or mma fight 😭 already had respect for him but this video gave me some concrete reasons 💯💯
I met James Johnson in the airport his second or first year in the league and he was the nicest and most genuine guy. Glad that the big money hasn’t changed him. He’s a real one for sure
I refereed James Johnson in HS quite a few summers ago. I was like who is this kid from Cheyenne,WY? Very respectable and humble young man. He had a bad 1st half and was upset. I said a couple words to him. Encouraging words. Like shake off this 1st half. You know how good you are, just regroup. He started the 2nd half by scoring like the 1st 16 points with a couple of dunks, 3s, and dribble drives, block shots, steals in like 3 minutes. After the game he came up to me and said ref thanks for talking to me. I've liked him ever since. Side note I met his brother a couple years back refereeing some basketball. You would not know it by looking at these dudes that they are some bad ass fighters. Well trained and humble.
I competed against James in martial arts back in the day. Super cool dude and ALWAYS won. Wish I could get in touch with him and give him props on all his successes
saw Buddy Hield shoutout James Johnson as being a vet leader on the Pacers this year. Didn't know much about him so came here to learn more. Dude seems super great to be around, we're lucky to have him.
This Dude James Johnson can ball, before he even played for the heat, I watched this guy played for Memphis Grizzlies. This guy is a baller for real. Shouts out to Nate Robison for this one.
James a real dude. I'm from Toronto. When he played for the Raptors he was always around. He got made love in the city. when he dunked on Drummond, he said cocked that joint back and banged on him..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Saw JJ playing in Toronto and he had a tough ass game. Liked him then but was so damn happy when he joined Heat. Love him now, such a great guy. Was sad to see him and Winslow leave us, love them heck a lot. Jus imagine hw tough ass gangsta it vd be in the Heat locker room and the gym UG, Jimmy Buckets, Bam, JJ, Winslow, J Rich all these work till death kinda people, man I love my Heat!!
the Johnsons family is thick in Cheyenne Wyoming .I grew up with his dad and uncles aunts and cousins his uncle Jessie played for the NY Jets...his dad is a solid man inside and out.. never forgot u Willie J. proud of u James for representing
This was fucking dope. I love seeing two guys I look up to be so honest, humble and solid guys. Preciate both of you, and keep these episodes comin please! Edit: I love how JJ mentions he's not a bully, but that he loves competing. That's a true sign of someone who respects the game.
I always hear the current and former NBA players mention Iverson as one of there biggest influences. He changed the game on and off the court. Much respect to the legend A I.
I actually like this show. Don't usually like athletes but I didn't know he was one until I looked him up! He didn't have the airhead vibe but then I noticed he's top tier. RESPECT!
I’m so happy there’s Polynesians in the NBA now !! James Johnson(Samoan/Black) Steven Adams(Tongan/White) and Jabari Parker (Tongan/Black). Who cares if they’re half, they’re paving the way for the next generation of Polynesian athletes.
“It’s okay to be a copycat as long as you copy the right cat” 🔥
Bruh, I’m feeling that
Kobe Bryant did just that.
i felt that
that shit hit me in the soul lol
Fire quote!!
"I got 2 Cane Corsos, they Militant, they only speak Arabic" sounds like a straight up bar out of a Ricky Ross verse.
Big facts
Raekwon or Benny The Butcher bar😂
Carbon Crowns as an Egyptian who identifies as African and Arab I approve this message
Nah Biggie...lolbs
Damn that shit do lol
This was Nate’s best interview. You could tell it was mutual respect.
After watching Nate for over 15 years, I'm still amazed every time I see him beside other NBA players. It's amazing what he accomplished at his height.
Just as a player not only his height imo. And better then 60% of the pgs in the nba right now. He earned a comeback.
Yeah.. true that.. Nate is a fucking legend on what he has done and accomplished. Shame he can't find a roster on a team..
gilli rockz he proved his point he made it that’s what matters my g 💯

I did not expect JJ’s voice to sound like that lol
this my first time hearing his voice
Won On 1 😄 me too! He seems like a real good guy though
Ikr..I was expecting something like denzel
He from Wyoming
Won On 1 for real!!!!
This was a real good one, respect to James Johnson
I came to watch this because I didn’t know he was half SAMOAN 🇼🇸! Wow all these years in the league! Love seeing our culture in the big leagues 💪💪💪 🇼🇸
@Peanut Law stfu
@Peanut Law u a mad peanut
James Johnson is such a humble dude, never knew he was so cool
Wow James Johnson is cool as hell for someone who’s never lost a kickboxing or mma fight 😭 already had respect for him but this video gave me some concrete reasons 💯💯
Hes fighting bums
@The Light Knight I fought against James johnson as a kid.. He ain't no bum and he stopped competing to pursue basketball.
I met James Johnson in the airport his second or first year in the league and he was the nicest and most genuine guy. Glad that the big money hasn’t changed him. He’s a real one for sure
James Johnson is a USO I learn something new every day
F Hernandez Yeah his moms is a kickboxer too

I competed against James in martial arts back in the day. Super cool dude and ALWAYS won. Wish I could get in touch with him and give him props on all his successes
Him or Jon Jones? Who you taking?
Black and Samoan seems like its a good mix for an athlete.
pphil56 that’s what Juju Smith schuster is
That’s what Dwayne “ The Rock” Johnson is
That’s what I AM
Tom brady walking proof
chugg Norris lol that’s hilarious
Great fellow. His humility oozes off this screen. Loved watching this!
Yo the dogs only respond to Arabic 🤯 how gangsta is that lol!

James comes to Seattle every summer to hoop I got to meet him he's one of the coolest period.

Never heard James speak and it wasn’t was I expecting. Seems like a great dude.

@Samuel Astic what are you talking about lol
Damn he ant gone never live this down💀💀
@Samuel Astic dude what are you even talking about🤣
Love how hyped James is about having Nate Robinson over and him signing his wall and working out
Saw JJ playing in Toronto and he had a tough ass game. Liked him then but was so damn happy when he joined Heat. Love him now, such a great guy. Was sad to see him and Winslow leave us, love them heck a lot. Jus imagine hw tough ass gangsta it vd be in the Heat locker room and the gym UG, Jimmy Buckets, Bam, JJ, Winslow, J Rich all these work till death kinda people, man I love my Heat!!
I really enjoyed this episode! Nate you did an amazing job it’s showing that you’re getting more comfortable!👍🏾
These guys are so refreshing talking about family, diet, inspiring each other.
James Johnson truthfully is a martial artist. Probably is in better condition than most of the players in the league.
How ironic
Kevo he just failed a conditioning test for the Miami Heat.....🤔
chad will He passed conditioning, failed body fat % requirement.
the Johnsons family is thick in Cheyenne Wyoming .I grew up with his dad and uncles aunts and cousins his uncle Jessie played for the NY Jets...his dad is a solid man inside and out.. never forgot u Willie J.
proud of u James for representing
This was super fire. I already thought James was dope but my respect for him is to the roof now. This is super dope
Best one yet, great content for real!
This was fucking dope. I love seeing two guys I look up to be so honest, humble and solid guys. Preciate both of you, and keep these episodes comin please!
Edit: I love how JJ mentions he's not a bully, but that he loves competing. That's a true sign of someone who respects the game.
Another great interview. Thank God for the quarantine so I can catch up on what I been missing.
So keen to see JJ hit the octagon after his NBA career. Seems like a smart guy too so I think he can be successful.
Hilarious to see JJ get in "scuffles" and watch the opposing player quickly back down. Lol
I always hear the current and former NBA players mention Iverson as one of there biggest influences. He changed the game on and off the court. Much respect to the legend A I.
J. Johnson is a real one!! About to follow this dude in social media! #rolemodels
The respect was mutual 💯😌 love it
“If you gotta call before you come over.... then we ain’t as close as I thought.” - truth!
This is the man responsible for getting Dion Waiters higher than a kite and I love it lol
How you know
Who’s here after the Bam interview?😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 you already know mane!!
Yes lol
The best of both worlds. Samoan and Black. Amazing blend of cultures....I love it. Love Uso.
Hope he meets the Heat's requirements. I've always been a fan and he seemed so enthusiastic about having a home.
James Johnson still bangin' on 'em! Favorite Toronto Raptor
“As A Competitor You Appreciate Other Competitors Not Being Afraid To Compete”
Hey Now Nate, all physically fit and all! I always enjoy your interviews, but Thanks for the quick view! 😎
“My stick figures almost look real” 😂
This guy almost killed Steph when he dunked on him😂😂😂

Best episode yet! My boy Nate killin these interviews. Peep his shirt "BET ON WOMEN" respect ✊
That was beatiful mutual respect and kindness
JJ a solid dude... I remember when he was on the Bulls, A1
I like this dude! JJ was cool when he played for the Kings, especially that buzzer beater he hit.
I actually like this show. Don't usually like athletes but I didn't know he was one until I looked him up! He didn't have the airhead vibe but then I noticed he's top tier. RESPECT!
Zabieru McCloud “ Air head vibe” what the fuck is that??

Loved how the uso said his mom is Samoan and she's from Samoa so clearly🤙most halfcast will be saying samowa but the man's pronunciation was on point👌
I’m so happy there’s Polynesians in the NBA now !! James Johnson(Samoan/Black) Steven Adams(Tongan/White) and Jabari Parker (Tongan/Black). Who cares if they’re half, they’re paving the way for the next generation of Polynesian athletes.
Nate Robinson. I would love to chill with dude one day !!! He my fav player next to Jordan & pippen

Crazy how James is humble yet dude starts best ever fight he has been in the nba lol
Man he seem like the coolest dude in the world. Big ups bro...
James is a really chill guy like foreal.
Why don't James Johnson get more publicity for being an accomplished two pro sports star. It seems like he would get more recognition.
