Mike exudes sincerity. Painfully honest. Has a great sense of humor. Fearlessly introspective. How he has emerged to become the man he is today is nothing short of a miracle.
I agree...it's like he has been to the bottom and has worked his way to the summit...so humble and very raw! I appreciate his honesty...true meaning of 'You never lose, you only LEARN'
I like the quote Mike uses here " Anyone you fight is not your enemy and anyone who helps you is not your friend"~ you dont always know who your real friend is~ Deep man , deep~
Travis Rad simmions always does that. I wish rose would jump to the ringer but he's way too prominent in espn, I'd say second only to woj but they play totally different roles, and more of a company man than Simmons was. He's real, but will play by the rules, Simmons has only his own rules.
this is truly great pod cast... once totally idolized Tyson, lost all respect, now totally respect him once again. his honesty , insight to his vulnerability, the challenges he has faced during his life is endearing.
Mike is a great example of triumph over tribulations it's great to see the mental and emotional progress he has made I could listen to his stories all day because he speaks from his experience and his heart..never filtered he expresses his joy and pain which is easy to identify with because we all go through both
Mike is 100% genuine and also very street smart this man can from a broken life back when he first started from nothing then he got to where he wanted to be for a couple of years then he lost it all now he's bouncing back this is what you call strongwill so much respect for this man he was getting hit by life he keeps getting up and going forward great role model
Luca Signorello has nothing to do with a strong will. His "willingness"to recovery is the key. Good interview here; eventhough Bill Simmons is a cheeseball.
Suave - i wasnt disrespecting mike. i think its great. just that, to hear his stories is hearbreaking. but to hear and see him come through all that as an authentic seemingly well-intentioned human being is inspiring. wasnt disrepecting him at all.
Na i know you weren't bro ... when you read what you typed i was focusing on him talking ... What i typed was more a thought on how blessed we are, being as our environment can dictate what kind of human we end up being in the end which is deep ... Being from Brooklyn We are from around the same area so it was just a sigh, A silent cry for the dude & females lost and a blessing thought .. Im very Proud of Jay Z, Mike, Talib, Mos ect ...
Mike is one of the most courageous people in the world.. Not because he knocked mf's out and was an incredible boxer... It's the fact he willing to speak on his weakness and the times he wasn't considered or recognized as the best, he not ashamed of his failures.
The absolute best interview that I’ve ever seen mike Tyson give. Completely authentic. 100% Real. I have a different level of respect for the brother. He is articulate well read, self educated and has a lot of personality. I appreciate his candor. Jalen rose seemed as though he wasn’t completely sure in the beginning if he should start his bafoonery. He kept looking at the cohost trying to put mikes words in a perspective so that he could understand. Mike did a great job at articulating his point. If the white guy didn’t understand maybe he should’ve asked for Clarity. I think as a people we should stop doing that let it be what it is. Jalen didn’t know what to expect and thought that he would try and save mike from embarrassing himself in which to me he never did. Much love and respect mike. The second best heavyweight to ever do it.
Mike is a real one! starts off the interview confessing his sins like a real man! not getting hollywood on them. My favorite champ ever! He needs a biopic!
This was great... Next time I would love to hear Mike get into the history of boxing and philosophize about it. I mean he is one the most talented to ever do it, so it would be really interesting to hear some of his insights.
How about Tyson correcting them saying "we aren't raising a society of whimps, we're raising the consciousness of society"?!?! Wowzas! Amazing stuff Mike, what a journey!
You can tell as hard as Simmons is trying,he struggles to related.But it was an awesome interview with all three people.Mike gives great interviews when you give him good conversation,it's all about your approach,and the two hosts did a great job.
My heart really goes to Mike and been in those type of environments. You don't really how important felling of values is important to a child is unless you never had it. Mike will always be my favorite literally starting from the bottom and being on top of the world.
The reason why this was so good is because Bill Simmons wasn't condescending towards Mike Tyson. Sometimes white sports journalists do that. He was there just flowing with him. Bill Simmons is the man.
Mike is the real. I always get something out of listening to him interviewed. The perspective is so unique because of how rare it is for someone to come from the depths he came from to the panicle of success, loose everything and survive to become a wise man.
This interview was great. Inspired me in so many ways. It's ironic that I've had similar struggles just like Mike. And to this present day, still in the fight. Even though we are all different and come from different backgrounds we all bleed the same. With that said, if one man can address his issues no holds barred like a man, as a man in hope of what he says helps the next man, his job is accomplished. I can only hope that what I take from this that I'll be able to give back by helping the next man like Mike has helped me. And salute to Jalen! He's a remarkable analysis. My top pick. Because the way he articulates himself and the passion and drive he has to understand something and convey to the masses is a blessing. I didn't like how the other analysis focused on Mike's drug usage and downfalls however, Jalen quickly put things back in perspective to sway the audience back on track. 👌🏽👍🏽✌🏾
Tyson might be the most interesting athlete ever to live, I always hear a new story about him no matter how many times I hear his biography... one cool dude
Such a great interview. So much honesty. I think Bill Simmons did a great job. He's no Jaleen Rose, but he did a great job asking some really good questions that got Mike to open up
GREAT interview IRON MIKE will always be on of the GREATEST ATHELETES i've had a chance to see growing up right along his rise and some what fall from grace. Never got a chance to HEAR him talk and we all know why but this interview here i mean this interview here proves why he was GREAT at what he did. This also proves why he was and is loved by so many now i see why his ONE MAN show is so sucessful.
Mike exudes sincerity. Painfully honest. Has a great sense of humor. Fearlessly introspective. How he has emerged to become the man he is today is nothing short of a miracle.

Dwayne Smith great interview
Mike is so full of wisdom. He doesn't waste his breathe on speaking unless it's something you can get from it...
Such a magnetic , charismatic and damn near unforgetable character. Will defo go down in history as 1 of the greatest
I like the quote Mike uses here " Anyone you fight is not your enemy and anyone who helps you is not your friend"~ you dont always know who your real friend is~ Deep man , deep~
People may think he's stupid by the way he talks, but I've seen enough interviews of him to believe he's actually smart
its called logic cause in real life we go trough that!!!
my real friend is the LORD JESUS CHRIST! HE WILL NEVER TELL YOUR BUISNESS AND WILL NOT TURN HIS BACK ON YOU AND WILL STAY LOYAL FOREVER!
More like, the man has learned some of the harshest lessons and survived. He's better than smart, he's wise.
joe skill VERY DEEP
Mike Tyson is 1 of my favorite people ever
Black Rob ,
This is the best interview with Tyson I've ever seen !
Travis Rad i 100% agree w you
Travis Rad I totally agree I can also see that Mike is very comfortable with this interview 4real
Travis Rad simmions always does that. I wish rose would jump to the ringer but he's way too prominent in espn, I'd say second only to woj but they play totally different roles, and more of a company man than Simmons was. He's real, but will play by the rules, Simmons has only his own rules.

mike is genuine. but he would tell you himself he is know romodel.
christ you guys' grammar is atrocious!
Davey boy agreed!!!
American school system
mike is heartbreaking and inspiring all at the same time...
The biggest "what if" question in boxing is his career. I barely remember because I was only 7-8 then, but Jesus H. Christ.
So is the "hood" tripsr4kids ... The "hood" is heartbreaking and inspiring all at the same time all while shape'n & molding human minds ...

Mike is happier today then when he was Richer back when... & that's priceless
Jalen Rose is one of my favourite Bballers of all time and Iron Mike is my favorite Boxer of all-time! Great interview!
ONE OF THE BEST SPORTS TALK INTERVIEW RIGHT HERE!!!
Mike is one of the most courageous people in the world.. Not because he knocked mf's out and was an incredible boxer... It's the fact he willing to speak on his weakness and the times he wasn't considered or recognized as the best, he not ashamed of his failures.

I tear up when i hear Mike and his humble beginnings . Great interview discussion
Amazing interview. You can see Tyson respect for Jalen. I don't think that interview would have been the same if Jalen wasn't there.
Mike is a real one! starts off the interview confessing his sins like a real man! not getting hollywood on them. My favorite champ ever! He needs a biopic!
JAMIE FOXX
Love Mike , he gave away turkeys to needy families ,enough said! genuine brother
Tyson dropping serious knowledge!!
Mike cool as hell💯
Mike Tyson would have been a great philosopher teacher. I would have like to sit down with him for hours and learn from his mind.
A couple years later and your prediction came true! Mike Tyson is now an underrated philosopher!
Every rational person loves Mike Tyson!!!!
I read mike Tysons book last year and learned a lot...he is super interesting and so multi-faceted.
This was great... Next time I would love to hear Mike get into the history of boxing and philosophize about it. I mean he is one the most talented to ever do it, so it would be really interesting to hear some of his insights.
Custamoto his trainer made Tyson READ many many books ..
For years
That was part of his training
This my man.Mike keeps it real. And he is very smart.
I’m so happy you brought this one back. This was my favorite one to watch 6 years ago.
How about Tyson correcting them saying "we aren't raising a society of whimps, we're raising the consciousness of society"?!?! Wowzas! Amazing stuff Mike, what a journey!
Grant Hatcher I was just thinking the same.
Mike 💯 substance and truths !!!
💯J Rose nailed it..
we got sincere love for the Champ Tyson
This was incredible one of the best interviews i've ever seen. i love tyson man so sincere
I love Iron Mike speeches. Lot of knowledge to give.
Never thought a 40min video could be so entertaining great cast
...."You were doing heroin at one point?", "Yeah, I have issues." Lol
You can tell as hard as Simmons is trying,he struggles to related.But it was an awesome interview with all three people.Mike gives great interviews when you give him good conversation,it's all about your approach,and the two hosts did a great job.
My heart really goes to Mike and been in those type of environments. You don't really how important felling of values is important to a child is unless you never had it. Mike will always be my favorite literally starting from the bottom and being on top of the world.
I love Mike Tyson. Much more intelligent than the media reports and people speak of.
"never let a coward be brave"
Mike is the rawest!
mike has such a unique way with words. So deep. I think Bill simmons has trouble understanding him at times throughout this interview
he definitely did act like it too bro. Good insight
maybe he doesn't the "culture,
The reason why this was so good is because Bill Simmons wasn't condescending towards Mike Tyson. Sometimes white sports journalists do that. He was there just flowing with him. Bill Simmons is the man.
Mike is a philosopher... Mike is a philosopher!
Mike Tyson you are the best example that we can be the person we want to be. I have so much respect for you as a person and a boxer.
That was a good convo. Really cool to see mike speak so intelligently so far removed from his raw savage days.
Now that was the best interview I ever saw. Mike is dope.
Mike Tyson is someone to be admired. Go Mike. Don't look back.
Gotta love the champ..Real One
This was so awesome
Mike so real and humble been threw a lot you could tell he appreciates life now much more
Mike Tyson was always a sharp guy. People just dissed him like they do all black American athletes.
Aww... boohoo... That's because most of them are - in fact - fucking DUMB.
Good interview Mike!
Tyson is smart man.. Perhaps his speech is street.. But it takes a smart man to raise,drop and raise again....no ego....honest
Mike is the real. I always get something out of listening to him interviewed. The perspective is so unique because of how rare it is for someone to come from the depths he came from to the panicle of success, loose everything and survive to become a wise man.
THIS IS THE GREATEST MIKE TYSON INTERVIEW EVER!!!!
Mike is forever interesting. Anytime I see him interview a light bulb goes off in my head.
Bill Simmons knows Tysons career !
Jalen - The type of guy who ALWAYS has something to say.....sits in silence, in awe of Iron Mike. Crazy respect.
Thanks for sharing Mike can help a lot of people God bless all
