Before showering him with compliments (you can't tell who a person is from a freakin two-minute podcast), let's wait to see what he is 10 years from now, if he's been in trouble, and how many secret baby mamas he has. As a rule, NBA players have no less than six.
Patrick K yet he carried all the pressure on his shoulders and excelled at Duke knowing everyone was watching and Duke took over the sports world the entire season. ESPN deep throated this guy all season at Duke lol he knows how to handle pressure yet does seem sorta shy so it’s weird 🤔
Honestly... I just wanna see him healthy so I can watch him posterize people. Basketball is still a spectacle sport and I watch it for entertainment. Specifically all the ridiculous athletic plays and dunks from NBA players like Zion. :)
I hope he doesn’t lose that smile , keep having fun with the game and keep these dudes who try to get headlines off your name out the picture as best as he can
Zion's positive energy just radiates, man. I've been depressed for a long while, but I smile so much from watching his interviews, and watching him play is the most exciting thing I've ever seen. It made me tweet him and see if he'd listen to my music; something I've never done with an NBA player, lol. He's just so cool that it'd be the greatest honor.
He's a young man of Faith in GOD. This is what you are hearing, this is what you are seeing. I pray that he continues to dominate the game, and model how a strong believer needs to carry himself in a chaotic business.
@@itsmelee9760 He was incredible in college lol Ben Simmons, Embiid, Blake Griffin, etc all redshirted their rookie years.....injury is not his fault shit happens
This interview turned me from a Zion fan to a Zion Stan. What a good kid, he’s got humility and confidence which is uncommon. This past draft is gonna be legendary. Ja is insane let alone Zion being a unicorn
For those wondering the donuts spot mentioned around the 20:00 min mark it's SideCar donuts in Santa Monica and another in Torrance. Great stuff, best I've ever had.
Great podcast, Zion is so likable & J.J. is a natural! Great article read in the NYT " After 100 Podcasts, JJ Redick Widens His Range" can't believe I didn't know about this podcast!
I'm surprised that he didn't know about E'Twaun Moore when he was at Purdue. He was a killer for them. Maybe Big Ten Hoops isn't that popular in South Carolina. Great show
WarriorKidd06 yeah I stay in Atlanta and unless it’s Michigan State, Michigan on an on year or a one off Ohio State during Greg Oden/Mike Conley or Victor Oladipo at Indiana we didn’t watch it
Awww I love Zion! he’s so nervous and shy around his OG vet JJ...I remember being young and I couldn’t get used to being serious ever and I would always have this uncomfortable smile. It’s crazy how one day that it just goes away and you become a man and more mature, enjoy it Young Z
J.J is such a Natural, This is his calling after the career....something in front of the camera!!! Zion is extremely likeable, Cant wait to see them play together!!!
You can really feel the impact that Coach K had on this kid...just another example of what a great coach he is. I certainly hope he gets healthy and can stay healthy, he appears to have his head in the right place and the NBA can use a young gun with such a solid mindset. Good luck young one...
JJ! Can you interview all the Brotherhood Pelicans? You are a great interviewer! Take care of our Brotherhood team! I so fondly recall sitting with you in the fast food place on the Bryan Center walkway when there were no open seats and we asked you to join us. My then, 5 year old daughter, (now 21), proposed to you and told you that you had to stop wearing that puka shell necklace!!! She interned this past summer with The Iron Dukes and got a few laughs from telling that story to the staff! Keep making memories, JJ!
Quiet as it's kept, the West is wide open this year. The Lakers are just 1 injury away from being an afterthought. The Clippers, outside of opening night & Christmas day, haven't showed they can put it all together, yet. Houston has questions about how its stars compliment each other. Denver has been very up & down. Dallas is young. Utah has been banged up and underwhelming... then there's everybody else, everybody else underperforming to expectations. Sounds crazy, but New Orleans is not only not out of the playoffs... they're not out of the whole enchilada when it comes to how the West will be decided this year.
I used to think Zion was cocky because of all the hype but after this interview, I genuinely respect him. He's so humble and kind, I hope he has a great, long career
He’s bigger than his brand, a respectful dude who recognizes how to truly measure his worth. An impressive thing to do at his age with the status he has
@oatmeal cookie gang Well, I am black and undoubtedly more well versed in language (and etymology) than you. I know roughly 200 black people, not including myself. Now, I have to find 406,999 black people (roughly 1.1% of the 37 million population) that also pronounce "ask" correctly. Thanks for making my life more tedious. Idk why racists are such inbred idiots.
Zion. I am visiting New Orleans on Jan. 15-22 for a short vacation. Sending you a shout out to see if you willing meet me (a no buddy) for a short interview as I have followed you since grade 9.
Definitely a potential hall of famer if you look at his sheer talent. If this man gets the proper treatment to minimize injury risk he will have a great career atleast.
First time I’ve heard him sit down and talk like this. Super cool, Still can’t believe he’s on my favorite team. Honestly JJ, Zion, CP3, David West, and (Idk how to spell stoakavich) probably not close haha, but all my favorite New Orleans basketball players. super dope interview
JJ Redick will have a great future as an NBA Analyst whether it be on ESPN, or doing his own podcast. I hope he will have his own podcast one day and hope that he will cover all facets of life, not just the NBA.
I fucken love Zion man. This guy has such a good and positive heart, he’s a legitimately good hearted person, I’ve never seen him come across negatively. It blows me away the awful things I see people commenting about him. You guys are disgusting man, fr.
00Mindi00 huge ups for your comment. I agree. Good guys rarely win in this society. Zion is a great guy with a genuine heart. The best thing to happen is this big man to play and play with heart and shut up all those who think he’ll be a bust. Zion is a rare human physically and whole heartedly.
Need to break this down into 3 or 4 interview. Way too long. But im happy to hear about Zion Williams , from him. Can't wait to see him debut. I still hpe that him and Ja Marant get together on a team.
@@ryanhayed2002Yeah....................this is RUclips though & dude could amke more money taking headlines from it and releasing content slower.. just my opinion
How could you not like Zion. He is so humble! I hope he achieves greatness
same
a ring is in his future
Well because liking a guy is sus
@@NoNo-oz1hn man stfu
@@NoNo-oz1hn i guess your mom is sus then😂😂
he has the biggest and most contagious smile
Hopefully he doesn’t lose that

This kid does not speak like a kid. This is a wise, kind, humble young man.

I can see JJ's next career: broadcaster/interviewer
His podcasts are dope. The one he has with Chris last season is a classic.
Shooting coach
He has so many options it’s crazy, like people mentioned, shooting coach, broadcaster + podcast, even a coach
He's better than other podcasts
💯%
My boy can't contain his grin throughout the pod lol it's refreshing. I wish him all the success in the world.
ikr. Kid has way more personality than Anthony Davis.
Down Hill lol why of all people u compare him to davis
Eli Yonan probably because he is New Orleans new #1 pick that is meant to be a future superstar replacing AD.
His personality seems shy and kinda awkward, almost like a guy who'd get picked on if he wasn't a 284 lbs monster.
Yeah he’s talked about that before
and so what? If anything it’s more relatable
Patrick K yet he carried all the pressure on his shoulders and excelled at Duke knowing everyone was watching and Duke took over the sports world the entire season. ESPN deep throated this guy all season at Duke lol he knows how to handle pressure yet does seem sorta shy so it’s weird 🤔
If he was 60 pounds lighter he’d the same height and weight as MJ or Kobe and still have a 40 inch bounce
I love it. Hes super humble.
I truly want to see Zion succeed and be a great man on and off the court
Honestly... I just wanna see him healthy so I can watch him posterize people. Basketball is still a spectacle sport and I watch it for entertainment. Specifically all the ridiculous athletic plays and dunks from NBA players like Zion. :)
This didn’t aged so well
How is Zion always so kind and down-to-earth though? He’s such a sweetheart mann. What a great guy 🙂❤️
Great parents! That's the real lottery in life.
watching this after him donating to workers at the pelicans stadium really shows his character, huge props to zion
“I gotta get to the rim...”
I feel that
Yeah when watching him play at Duke I wondered if he knew he sorta had to get a highlight out of every single game.
@@NotebookLives 😂😂
@@NotebookLives 😂😂😂😂
The rim felt it as well lol
Having both parents in his life has shape this kid's life so well
Judah Jr FACTS and I’m not having it any other way ✊🏾💫
Absolutely
Underrated
Judah Jr amen! Why it’s important having both parents in your life man or if not be self aware and be accountable for yourseld
He had a stepdad not his real dad my guy so he had parents but he didnt have both his biological parents
crooked microphone cover is bothering me
I hope he doesn’t lose that smile , keep having fun with the game and keep these dudes who try to get headlines off your name out the picture as best as he can
I'm literally smiling so hard rn! Love me some JJ Redick, thank you for bringing this gem to the internet. Great interview with Zion & Tommy!
Zion seems like a cool kid... Hope he comes back stronger than before... And thinner
Good eye, he leaned up nicely indeed
Guarantee he's in better shape than u tho 😂
I love Zion‘s smile. It‘s like a 8 year old kid getting sweets lmao
“the nba’s not going anywhere..”
🤣🤣🤣
JJ didn’t like that coach k impersonation 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 coach k knows you’re the coldest duke legend ever jj lmao
If this guy is the future of professional athletics, sign me up. So incredibly likable and humble it’s uncanny.
Love the E’twuan shout out. Love that guy. And as Zion said, a professional bucket getter
I hope he comes back super healthy so we can see the Skywalker we know he is🐰💪🏾
Zion's positive energy just radiates, man. I've been depressed for a long while, but I smile so much from watching his interviews, and watching him play is the most exciting thing I've ever seen. It made me tweet him and see if he'd listen to my music; something I've never done with an NBA player, lol. He's just so cool that it'd be the greatest honor.
I'm sure he'd love that
Dude has a humble, modest personality, thats rare these days.. Thats dope!
Man this kid is so humble and everything. I wish him nothing but success and blessings. Stay humble bruh.
He's a young man of Faith in GOD. This is what you are hearing, this is what you are seeing. I pray that he continues to dominate the game, and model how a strong believer needs to carry himself in a chaotic business.
Jesus is Lord
I totally agree, Michael. That's my hope and prayer as well. He's a GOOD, humble guy. I love it!
He was raised w a father in the home as well Makes such a differance in young men and women
@@-Stinky_Pinky fuck you
He sure seems like a great role model. I hope the best for Zion and that he stays healthy. He is a good kid.
Humility is the essence of greatness. Zion Williamson is the epitome of that.
Zion is an overal great dude and awesome player, there is nothing other than his injury you can hate about him
Dagelijkse Dosis Internet helemaal mee eens
I just hate the hype like he hasn't even played consistently, maybe if has like 10 good games when he is back.
@@itsmelee9760 He was incredible in college lol Ben Simmons, Embiid, Blake Griffin, etc all redshirted their rookie years.....injury is not his fault shit happens
He’s such a good kid pulling for you BIG Z!
Freeze it at 0:52 JJ's whole life literally passing before his eyes after Zion asked him how many years hes been in the league looool
LMFAO
🤣🤣🤣🤣 your an artist !! "life passing before his eyes"??? LMAO!!! 😂😂😂
18:00 I love how zion and jj embrace the city of New Orleans
Redick is really trying to set up revenue after retirement already lol
Yeah, I have zero worry that this guy will be broke after he retires.
David Edwin fax
Zion would be a savage outside linebacker
That's LT's illegitimate son
I really hope this dude have a healthy and wonderful career, he is so likable
JJ, your one of my favourite players. Love your catch and shoot, always get yourself open.Its really nice
Don’t give Zion no damn donut
I’m dying hahahaha
He has the most contagious smile! He seems like such a good kid.
This interview turned me from a Zion fan to a Zion Stan. What a good kid, he’s got humility and confidence which is uncommon. This past draft is gonna be legendary. Ja is insane let alone Zion being a unicorn
Man Zion is so humble. I love his maturity and he will for sure be a great player and hopefully future hall of famer if he works hard.
Awesome podcast from 2 great duke stars
Coach K sure knows how to Coach players on and off the court.. Zion is so humble.. Hope he has a great nba career.
Zions my seems so humble and nice paired to other players. can’t wait to see him on the court again
For those wondering the donuts spot mentioned around the 20:00 min mark it's SideCar donuts in Santa Monica and another in Torrance. Great stuff, best I've ever had.
Wishing the best for this man

Impossible to dislike Zion or JJ honestly
The highs in the audio are pretty sharp

To hear coach K wouldn't let him come back so he can take care of his family is just amazing .
The way Lonzo playing Zion need too come back this month there still chance too get in the playoffs
King Savage tough call. He’s gonna be on serious minute restrictions

He was an 18 year old kid. And, he loved the college experience.

Watching this 4 years later and Zion looks SO DIFFERENT in this podcast
