John Collins really knows how to talk to the media. One of the most honest interviews I’ve heard, didn’t give generic robotic answers, while also sounding genuine and respectful. He’s earning his money rn too. Hawks need to keep that duo together
Not just the duo, but the team imo. Would love to see them for 2 more years as they mature. Cappella s rebound in the Last few seconds went under the radar
Love it. Trae talks the talk and walks the walk. He got the game to back it up. We need characters like him in the game, rather than everyone being ‘nice’ to each other.
Shaq always think he know the most... in this segment Kenny and Chuck spitting facts...this is like the game Steph lit up Embiid and the Sixers for was it 53? You cant be in the paint. this man had time to shimmy. And that was the story all night.
@Garrett Grier but those 2 were arguing u cant necessarily stop him but at least slow him down, make him pass, do some else other than giving him time set his feet, shimmy and then shoot.
It was ridiculous how the bucks kept letting him do that throughout the game. You have to make an adjustment to not keep letting trae young do that. Not to mention get the ball out of his hands 🙄🤦♂️😂
Just shaq saying dumb things as usual. Trae and John were playing the 2 man game against one dude. Obviously a mistake by portis, shaq just being petty over a word.
JC already sounds like he’s ready to be an analyst. One day he will 100% be working for somewhere like Inside the NBA, dude has a nice articulate flow and charisma about his speech
Last year with the Warriors falling off the map quicker than anybody ever has combined with the Bubble, that cracked the door open for parity. This season, however, blew it wide open.
He was WIDE OPEN with at least 2 guys standing there staring at him & not even moving lol . He literally waited a sec for someone to come, shrugged his shoulders & took the shot when nobody moved lolol
He got mixed up before that tho, he recovered and got mixed up again and gave up on they play. Porter should’ve been closer too. It’s both their fault.
@Hanz Mchiggin I wouldn’t say so much better because luka is a way more efficient overall, getting others involved, 3 pt shooting they are about the same but dude doesn’t give a f, the guy literally taunting away crowds, shimmying before shots him and DBook just have officially proclaimed next if nets stay Healthy next year and the Lakers get Dame next year I feel like the NBA is going to another level and hoping for a Suns Hawks final and whoever wins will be amazing
Great attitude from Collins. This whole team is very in tune on all levels. It's really a pleasure to see & hear. Even though y'all whooped up on my 6'ers, I don't even mind, y'all have been class thus far🔥💀🔥
Is Trae Young still too skinny? Too short? Not a good teammate? Not built for the NBA? He dominated at OU and the experts slighted him coming into the draft. So happy to see him prove them all wrong.
Love how John Collins came across in this interview. Great guy, so well spoken, such a big personality and a clearly a big game player. Future's bright for ATL
Ya'll act like coaches don't change or don't adapt. Pacers firing McMillan was the right decision. He wasn't leading them anywhere, nor did he lead any of his previous teams anywhere. He's adapted to his current situation and it's worked for him. But if he was still on the Pacers, they wouldn't be making any ECFs.

Same thing for Book, idk who is hating on him besides teams he beat. Kids have loved Trae for awhile and people have realize Book’s greatness for awhile, if they hadn’t before the bubble, they did after. I think people hate on the Sun’s bc of CP3 if anything (maybe some don’t like Crowders tough guy act/status), but most respect Book.

Someone needs to go back and look at the first half when Giannis received a lob or down low pass that was dunked on or near John Collins. After that play, Trae pushed up the court with JC at his side, trying to set up a lob of their own. Trey ended up making a layup, I think, but when they both ran back to play defense again, you could see Trae and Collins give each other a lowdown high five as if to say to each other "I got you, brother, they come at you hard and we're going to answer right back by running into the fire together." That's team play, people, that's having each other's back, that's leadership. Love it!
I dont think anyone doubted he could ball. He was undersized and didnt really have anything special to his game other than shooting out of college. He developed and got better. Definitely all star caliber
Shout out to Nate McMillan. The brother took over mid season and lead them from multiple games under 500 to the eastern conference finals. The most underappreciated coaches in sports.
agreed, but maybe more a chronic condition of topping - as in I'd say something like "I had a really good weekend and enjoyed a great meal at a new restaurant" then Shaq would say "MY WEEKEND WAS BETTER AND I HAD A BETTER MEAL AT A BETTER RESTAURANT!!!!'"

Simmons was not a scoring option most of the season Doc made it embiid Harris and seth and to be honest it was Harris that did not show up after being a main scoring option all season..

I'm in love with Collins' words.. he is so eloquent. Even Lebron, Russ, James Harden or KD, don't speak so fluidly in a postgame interview. Just awesome.
It's funny how everyone interprets things differently because I bursted out in laughter when that happened. It was so odd & abrupt I couldn't even take his a** seriously. It was hilarious
I didn’t realize how little he knew about basketball. Too many times he seems lost in basketball conversations. He a HOF and got 4 rings or whatever but somehow he still underachieved.

I doubted him. Not gonna lie. But if I said he wasn't balling right now...I would be lying. Call me a bandwagoner, Ice Trae is ballin.
I dont think anyone doubted he could ball. He was undersized and didnt really have anything special to his game other than shooting out of college. He developed and got better. Definitely all star caliber
I appreciate how John Collins is straight up about his own abilities without being arrogant.
well tbf he doesnt give credit to the PEDs that allowed him to get there
Shout out to Nate McMillan. The brother took over mid season and lead them from multiple games under 500 to the eastern conference finals. The most underappreciated coaches in sports.
He should have won coach of the year by a landslide for his work but as always Atlanta gets ignored because we get no national air time.
Yea nate was on pace to a 58 win season
Shaq doesn’t like being wrong 😂🤣😆😆😆, he just doubles down lol. #ALLIn
agreed, but maybe more a chronic condition of topping - as in I'd say something like "I had a really good weekend and enjoyed a great meal at a new restaurant" then Shaq would say "MY WEEKEND WAS BETTER AND I HAD A BETTER MEAL AT A BETTER RESTAURANT!!!!'" Ok Shaq, that's good to know an... 'ALSO!! STEVE NASH STOLE MY MVPS!!!!'
What was he wrong about tho? He gave ice trae the credit that chick and kenny refused to give.
@@blkjohnnybravo3506 bro the kid played well but he isn't unguardable in pick and rolls, dudes had some bad games so the fact shaq is trying to say he's can't be stopped in the p&r is just showing how good of a defender he was
@@blkjohnnybravo3506 smdh
@@Lando-oz7hd he has killed every team he has played in the playoffs. What do u mean he isnt unguardable? Its like yall refuse to acknowledge when a player has arrived. Ice trae is here and he is unguardable deal with it.
Jrue holiday need to punch the bucks whole coaching staff for leaving him on that island like that 🤣🤣🤣
Shaq proves that just because you were a beast and played 5,10,15 or 20 years at the highest level doesn’t mean you know about basketball
and u know basketball???? 🤔
@@manofaith75 yes I do,thx for asking LOL
This was 5 minutes of Shaq talking about how he refused to defend the pick and roll
They weren't talking about this game at all
He was Shaqtin a fool
Well they were doing that the whole game. That was the key of the game
Yes they were, you're wrong.
Shaq be blaming the guards just like he did every time he refused to help on his guards in the pick and roll when he was playing.
and the guy has a Master's Degree. lol
The Bucks got the Charles Barkley curse when he said they'd win in 4.
Fr 😂😂
He predicted the bucks winning in 4 against the heat and the bucks winning in round 2
@@gage8787 He said they would sweep the Hawks too
@@quintfl so it’s not a curse anymore💀

48 points? ben simmons please score 10 points at least next time you’re in the playoffs
Ben Simmons along with his teammates played the best defense Trae has seen all year. The Bucks may be too easy for him.
@@ralx225b Nah bucks have great defence too. Obviously in his day no team can stop him but we'll see in the next games how they do
Simmons was not a scoring option most of the season Doc made it embiid Harris and seth and to be honest it was Harris that did not show up after being a main scoring option all season.. Simmons needs to actually learn to shoot no doubt but poor coaching.. Now on the Trae thing the thing should be more Trae>>>KD.. If Trae is also dropping 48 and winning..
Trae and Ben have the same career highs, relax
@@kod5660 exactly Harris was a huge issue, everyone had their role he didn’t fill his
I'm in love with Collins' words.. he is so eloquent. Even Lebron, Russ, James Harden or KD, don't speak so fluidly in a postgame interview. Just awesome.
Military kid whose traveled the world. Broader horizon cause of it.
Bout time we give Nate McMillan his respect. Kept Pacers top 4 every year, and turned the Hawks into a firestorm
Facts 💯

While kenny is 99% annoying most of the time, i feel for him on this one. Shaq was friggin disrespectful and didn't want to back down jeez.
Petty White
I love seeing Shaq & Charles argue over games 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does Shaq need anger management? He goes from 0 to 100 in 5 seconds with his temper. Lol.
The way he randomly shouted at chuck was uncalled for.
Shaq trying to defend big men because he was remembers getting yelled at for not getting out on guards.
Once read a story about how he ripped a toilet out of the ground at his home when he was mad.
Honestly it's very unpleasant to watch.
It's funny how everyone interprets things differently because I bursted out in laughter when that happened. It was so odd & abrupt I couldn't even take his a** seriously. It was hilarious
Shaq getting sensitive about centers not being able to guard the pick and roll
I didn’t realize how little he knew about basketball. Too many times he seems lost in basketball conversations. He a HOF and got 4 rings or whatever but somehow he still underachieved.
In the words of Charles Barkley " just because you raise your voice doesn't mean your right". Cut it out Shaq!!!
@@turnerburner922 Shaq has a ton of knowledge about Basketball he just gets way too emotional at times because he's trying to 1up Kenny or Charles
@@theolddarksoul1129 he probably do but he was way too confused about the “pick and roll” segment.
And you see why he underachieved. Basketball iq is questionable for sure
Kenny: FREEZE IT THERE, FREEZE IT, FREEZE IT
The awhaw! Awhaw! Was priceless
Man, John Collins is awesome, I really like that guy
This was one of the best post game interviews I’ve ever heard. Man knows how to talk, and has great energy.
Next time someone says "Can I talk?" I am going to say "Not if you are going to be wrong" lol
I'm old-school NBA fan and I'm loving how these young guys are doing so well. I really hate super-teams and very happy to see what's going on in the NBA playoffs right now.
Every team left have very good "Players" .
@@FloydWhoElseTV Obviously you don’t make it to a conference finals with out good talent. However no team left in the playoffs are superteams. Maybe the Clippers are an exception but they’re no where near Laker or Nets status
@@ALsn-xz9ix lol Lakers ain’t no super team.
@@FireAngelChris Eh a lot of people consider LeBron and AD to be a super-team when healthy, but LeBron’s aging and AD is injury prone so their chance to win another chip is closing
@@ALsn-xz9ix lol a lot of people are idiots. Ain’t Noway lakers last year and this year is a super team. Bron and AD healthy is special,with good role players they are a championship caliber team. Super team absolutely not. It’s plenty of teams right now that has more depth and reliable players outside of their top 2. Lol people just love calling any team Bron play on super teams.
"I'm Not Gonna Call Another Man Red Velvet"' 😂😂😂 - Shaq -
“THAT AINT NO PICK CHUCK! I GOT 4 RINGS HOW MANY YOU GOT”
Shaq really forgot not closing against duncan in that ot game when he was with the suns
Another great interview by a Hawk. Clear, humble, hungry, respectable, happy to be heard and honest(all while being in post-game winner beast-mode). Him and Trae got my respect on that as well as their games. Salute.
Kenny “Freeze it There” Smith
Kenny understands the mind of the defender sheesh.at least I’m not alone
John Collins - that off the backboard alley-oop was crazy!!!
AWHAWWW....AWHAWW 🦅
I scored as many three pointers that game as Khris Middleton. So did you. Let that sink in.
where's our 28mil/yr?..
Right the sink is right there at the door, let it in 🚰🚪
