I think the only way somebody gets a interview outta Klay is if it’s a kick it type of environment lol. Seem like he hates interviews even in post interviews
Met Andre and his brother in Pebble Beach when they were eating dinner. Super down to earth and took the time to be polite to my mother who is in a wheelchair. Classy dude and classy family.
@@genevievegaillard1425 Thanks for the advice. His brother bumped into my mom's wheelchair and it would have been rude for me to ignore their apologies. I did not mind that they "bothered" us while eating dinner, though.
Lebron 8 straight NBA finals, Iguodala 6 straight NBA Finals, Steph Curry, Klay and Draymond all 5 straight NBA finals. These dudes straight live in the finals. Can't wait to see these guys compete again next year.
@@BlueHundred1 yeah right ... get another star and pay even more luxury tax😂 they’d be about to reach 200 mil in luxury tax apart from that they had another star and when you’re top heavy like that and one player gets injured or something you’re basically done and there are players in this draft that can help you right away
Shannon Funny how he leaves and the team struggles to get in the playoffs, but while Wiseman was out with injuries and Klay was working on coming back from his injury, this season showed me that they needed another guy out on the floor besides Draymond.
They'll probably trade Wiggins, Oubre, & the 7th pick for Ben Simmons. That's probably the best place for Ben to be anyways. Also, the 76ers wouldn't lose that trade because Wiggins & Embiid played together in college, so I wouldn't worry about those two not working out. Oubre is also a Kansas Jayhawk just like Wiggins & Embiid, so it'll be like the Jayhawk Big 3 in Philly that we never got to see. Might as well trade Doc Rivers to the Jayhawks for Bill Self since Bill Self coached all three lol. I always felt Doc would be better suited as a College coach & Bill Self would be better suited as a pro coach.
Good intelligent conversations. JJ is a natural at this. Andre is a serious 3 dimensional thinker. I feel like he has to hold back when having conversations because he can easily go over your head if he wanted to. Seeing how he can start to answer a question, jump to a topic that doesn’t seem related in the beginning, but he uses that to circle back to answer the original question by tying them together. It’s like improvising a solo in jazz and going out of key a half-step and returning to the main key of the song before the head.
@@raheem4958 it just depends in perspective some meanings can have double or triple meaning within a meaning it doesn’t have to be interesting it’s just of matter of trying to keeps things simple while getting your point across without sounding bland because he could answer and talk a lot simpler but then this podcast would be like 45 minutes which isn’t a bad thing but depends on what you’re into.
I love that comparison. I never would've thought of it that way. Very spot on and I appreciate how you opened my eyes to that perspective. Through that lens, I enjoy Iggy's interview even more and now have a way to finally express in words what made Kobe's "detail" so much greater than just edutainment for basketball fans.
Iggy is one of the classiest guys of his era. Great two way player. Great Teammate and an ultimate winner all while being humble. He was absolutely vital to the Warriors run and got his due with the finals MVP. Cheers to you my guy. The league needs more guys like you. Absolute dawg out there.
Imagine Shaq or MJ had a podcast when they played. Or even Kobe, that would be something. I'd wanna see Steph, Klay, and Lebron on here. That would be so dope
I am a super casual basketball fan, got to see Vince Carter a few times growing up in Toronto but not a regular viewer by any means, but man this podcast is awesome I love hearing insightful athletes talk about competing and what their lives are like in professional sports. Iguodala is so humble and intelligent, love the interview.
when they're talking about steph and luka just being such great, normal people I feel like giannis is like that too. I hope they talk about giannis one podcast, would just to love JJ's and other players opinions as he's such a controversial player.
@@choyee1337 That's more in the sense of not trying to be buddy buddy and team up. He's easily one of the most down to earth and respectful players in the league. Luka, on the flip side, has had rumors creeping up lately about his relationships with teammates and head coach.
Greatness resonates in Andre not only due to his defensive wizardry, but his unselfish tendencies. Imagine you’re in your day-to-day job and a young new hire starts breaking down the walls of success. Natural leaders set aside their ego, grab a shovel, and do something for someone else. Unselfishness is contagious in a winning culture!
This thinking applies to our everyday jobs, too. It will elevate those who aren't so great at their jobs if the people who really are great, rather than those who are senior, or ingratiated with management, are elevated. It sets an example of what it means to be good at your job, and shows you will be rewarded for it if you also do so. It takes good management & good veterans, though.
the way warriors played the game was the best version of basketball I have seen in a long time, the screens, pick, the timing of their cuts, movement without the ball, Kerr gets a lot of credit for taking a spurs like offense to a brand new level
Honestly this was so refreshing on so many levels. Great questions, pacing and topics covered. Andre's combination of knowledge, perspective, emotional intelligence, and sense of humor is top notch and I'm really glad he's had such a successful and well rounded career as I feel its very deserved. Obviously that's not to say others don't deserve theirs, but rather seeing the amazing a person he seems to be makes me happy that he's achieved so much in life, as you always want good people to be able to reach their potential and live fulfilled and meaningful lives. I also think I could listen to him talk about Duncan Robinson stories all day as those are hilarious!
The Kellerman argument "I want Iguodola" isn't as simple as he made it. Would you rather have a wide open, w/ no one within 6 feet, Iguoudola or Steph shooting off the catch w/ 3 guys draped all over him (likely fouling / grabbing / holding him as well). You could also make the argument that Andre isn't that wide open without having Steph demand all that attention. The shitty thing is that max seems smart enough to realize the argument is that nuanced, but doesn't present it in a genuine way.
Because it's a show they do for clicks/views my man. Those talk shows built on arguing have always been like the Twitter algorithm became a human with Tourettes.
Not to take anything away from Iguodala, he was near his downward side of his career and not having to start is a blessing because that in itself can prolong his playing days. I was actually upset when warriors had to give up iguodala, he was my 3rd favorite player on the warriors.
klay would be sth to see just cuz of how stupidly chill and different his personality is while dray would just be super informative and entertaining as we have seen by now
I hope people who are so quick to look at Athletes as 'Dumb Jocks' and tell them to 'Shut up and dribble' understand many of them are very intelligent and understand WAY MORE than just how to hoop. Weather or not you agree me or not, a lot of them are 'Intellectuals' and smarter than you think they are. Maybe that was true more so 40 years ago however with 'Technology' and the importance of 'Financial Planning' and Life after Basketball, you see how influential certain Team Owners, Agents, and Former Players have on today's generation of Athletes. Especially the ones who come from an impoverished upbringing and do not fully understand the 'Value of Money". Thanks Andre for coming to my favorite team since I was a child. 50 years later, I'm proud to be raised in the SF Bay Area and call myself a True Life Long Warriors fan through think and thin. Peace
Oh yeah, I didn't forget you young man. Thanks JJ for your podcast and allowing us to see what these players are truly about. Not surprising to see why you and your guests are successful. Either from good upbringing and or good Mentoring. Peace 2/22
I think every teammate would want a tough player on your team like Udonis Haslem, Zach Randolph, Chauncy Billups, Kevin Garnett, Alonzo Mourning, Steve Nash, Allen Iversion, Dennis Rodman, Patrick Beverly, Steven Adams, Ron Artest (Metta World Peace), Ben Wallance, Draymond Green, Demarcus Cousins, the James Johnsons in the league. And then there's the Zen Master teammates like Andre Iguodala that you love to have. Such a supportive and empowering teammate.
Here's my wishlist for my idol JJ 1. Win atleast one nba championship before retiring 2. Get to have more playing time and contribute to that championship run 3. Get paid atleast 10+m salary 4. Atleast 15 ppg at .49% or better 3pt fg and .95% ft% Hoping this will really happen. Let's go JJ!
Love this. Really humanizes you guys. I never thought about how much hard work goes into what you all do. With the way the media calls you all spoiled athletes. Sorry for my old skewed view.
love the pod JJ. if i had a small recommendation, try to breakout the youtube segments into categories so people know the conversation topics throughout the whole video. Big fans as always keep up the great work
im not finished and this is my favorite steve adams being number 2 so far i have been saying you wanna win you need a iguodala and a livingston come playoff time
I like the podcast and JJ is probably the best NBA guy to do it, but he still says "We talked about this" so much, like if you cut that part out it's a half an hour podcast every time.
Iguodala is truly great after being an All-Star (I think it was at Philly?) then sliding back, he reemerged with the warriors and was still a major contributor for the heat
Tommy is underrated as a co-host. He doesn’t force his way into conversations, he picks his spots to contribute so well.
And he is genuine
Facts
He’s just really bad at asking good questions. For the younger players he never seems to ask a question that gets a good repsonse
Sometimes he looks like he’s just there tho you can tell by his face
Tommy is the good role player
We'd like to see Klay on the pod!!!
While he’s on the boat

Andre really sounds like hes the nicest guy ever
His voice doesn't match the faces he makes during the games, like the crazy calls. Thought he would sound higher.
Im so glad nba players do this.
Same. It helps you to understand the game a lot better
For real, so sick of guys like Stephen A and skip trying to assassinate players’ character to make a quick buck or have a hot take
They finally got the guy that would save Earth from the Alien DeathBeam

There’s a 15 min video of Steph Curry hitting clutch shots in the playoffs. It wouldn’t exist if he wasn’t clutch.
Casual media agendas smh
The only argument I could see is that Stephs not clutch because he doesn't play 4th quarter since he already won the game in the 3rd hahaha

Warriors can’t win championships anymore , they’ll be competitive but no more finals
theres gonna be a documentary about them in a few years

Tommy's question to Iggy : " Tell us a Duncan Robinson story"
Iggy " Duncan is the dumbest smart person I know"
😂
hey dats what i call myself! Its better den being da smartest dumb person
Any clue on what the story there were talking about was?
Let’s goooooo Iggy has been my favorite player in the league since he was on the sizers. Love seeing him on as a guest!
Sizers? Would that be Expanders or Reducers? 😂😂😂✌️

We need KLAY on the pod
Been a big fan of Iggy from the start of his career, definitely my favourite interview! 🔥🔥
That imitation of Mark Jackson around 10:30 was spot on. Same stuff you hear Jackson saying on ESPN now about Steph.
This is one of my favourite episodes Iggy is a great guest
I appreciate Andre's unapologetic blackness 💪🏿 salute to that King 🤴🏾
This was the best one you’ve ever had
Iguodala is that guy.
Thank you Iguadala for helping us win a championship that year.
Iguodala one of the realest
We were having an oyster party the other day and things got out of hand lmao
@John Cole 😭
Dray and Iggy guarding KD, and Iggy explaining relax is just a lol moment.

shoutout you and Duncan for bringing my favorite player on!! can’t wait til he can get on knuckleheads or all the smoke to round it out
The mark Jackson piece was great what a quote
And it helped explain why Mark couldn't get them to the Finals.

Nigga, why can't Max have HIS OWN OPINION, just like you niggas do?
This is a classic.
"In all the good teams, there was never a meeting about 'Oh, let's do it together'". Truer words have never been spoken.
If a coach told me “we’re willing to lose the game for you to win the battle” I’m never leaving the gym
Finally someone talked about how amazing Mark jackson really is
Even if klay misses I feel like he would just laugh it off and that would kinda comfort as we died together
Not to take anything away from Iguodala, he was near his downward side of his career and not having to start is a blessing because that in itself can prolong his playing days. I was actually upset when warriors had to give up iguodala, he was my 3rd favorite player on the warriors.

I like the podcast and JJ is probably the best NBA guy to do it, but he still says "We talked about this" so much, like if you cut that part out it's a half an hour podcast every time.
Y’all are on a one!!! These pods have been 🔥🔥🔥
Pretty sure iggy is pres of the players committee if it’s not Chris Paul and he’s been on it for a minute, he knows a lot about the league
Iguodala is truly great after being an All-Star (I think it was at Philly?) then sliding back, he reemerged with the warriors and was still a major contributor for the heat
I think he was an All-Star in Denver which was right before he was traded to Golden State, might be wrong tho
I just fact checked it, he was an Allstar in his last year in Philly.
Klay really shoots off how his dog is feeling
40:40
Come back to Dallas JJ. You too Andre, you wanted to come here before, do it now
Steph Curry made all his guys so much money he had Mo speights lookin like KG
Heeellll yeah!!!!!!!! You should also have Klay on, too...
This episode is definitely part of the reason Iggy went back to the Warriors. Take some credit JJ and Tommy
You watch the finals?
I like golf. Lol
One of the best podcasts
I really miss this guy and Livingston
Don't ever forget how amazing prime Iggy was.
I'm really surprised JJ isn't watching the finals. Know Holiday & Paul are his guys & they're facing off. plus he regularly watches NBA bball
might be slightly jealous cp3 made it to the finals lol
I WANT IGUODALA!
JJ, you don’t need cable to watch the finals, it is on network tv every year.
1:20:00 gives me demarcus cousins speaking in the post game interview about how Seth curry got a long career ahead of him vibes
We need Steph on the podcast JJ ‼️‼️
