ZACH RANDOLPH was one of the most underrated players during his time in the NBA.
He was good for his era. Not great
@@vondon3387 ZBO was great in Memphis
@@vondon3387 Never said he was good or great. Just said he was one of the most underrated players during his time in the NBA.
@Open Ranks To each their own. He should have made the all-star more often if that was the case.
KD SWAGGER absolutely!!!!
Zebo, Mr. 20 and 10, every night. Grit n grind baby!
Facts! 💯 very underrated
Grit and grind, grind it up #GrindCity #GrindHouse
Him and Tim Duncan.Just put down 20 &10 BEFORE the game, then just keep adding on.
Z-bo gets all the respect in Memphis. The love the people in the city has for him can't be matched.

Z-Bo Really Is A Living Legend Here!!
"In my hood bullies get bullied"
I don't know if he said bullied or bullets.
In my hood the bullies get bullied.
The bully get bullied. That's how it goes in the hood
He said both before he told boogie bullies get bullied but in an interview he said the other
Get Tony Allen on here.....
BLAKE DA GREAT 💯
“Who was the first person you locked up “😭
Another Chicago legend. I'm sure he'd be on here soon
@@kooliegang6096 more like who was the 1st teammate you yoked up!🤣
Nah he a hook DIE 5 ⭐️😂
Saw a rolls Royce in Memphis at the gas station a couple months ago. Zbo got out and he was the coolest brother ever.
Z-bo definitely a down south legend from them Memphis day. He really embraced the people and the city. He already kno where he stand down here. Certified big homie.
yezsuh', tha town luuuh' my nigga ✊🏿
@Melvin Giles n-deed
@Melvin Giles he not saying he from the south he saying we love bro down here... Memphis adopted this nigga
I remember all those Grit N Grind years. I live in Memphis and actually Met ZBO, Marc, and Tony.
BJ Pxlm Tree use to see ZBo and Tony at all the clubs here in Memphis lol
Fam y'all hit the lotto with Ja Morant. I have a lot of respect for the Grizz franchise.
Conley Rudy Gasol TA and ZBo was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Reginald Mayo u forgetting OJ Mayo and yo last name Mayo lol
Reginald Mayo straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Zebooo the paint beast 💪💪 He would bully you on the block - thought his best years were over after Portland but he had some really special years in Memphis w/ Gasol, Allen and Conely.
Truth Son.
Nobody cared because we were / are trash, but he was a beast on the Knicks

This episode was weak. There was so many interesting things to ask Randolph about that they just ignored because they didn’t want to do anything controversial. No weed arrest, no jailblAzers stories, no isiah Knicks stories, no bullying Blake stories, nothing about his brothers legacy, nothing about his clippers year. Nothing good about how crazy that Knicks team was. Just a supper politically correct interview I didn’t need from them.
Big networks can never get pro athletes to open up like this. Knuckleheads and all the smoke raising the bar.
This Podcast and ZBo talking about his daughter playing with Kobe’s daughter is the first thing came to my mind when I heard about Kobe and his daughter passing in the helicopter crash. Man this is a hard pill to swallow. We love You Kobe and will be praying for your family. 😢😢😢 #RipKobe
Facts. First thing I thought of and how many others talk about how much Kobe loved coaching his daughter.
A walking 20 and 10 right here 💪🏾
Curry on all the smoke and now this! Made ma day big time 😍
Rubén Jurado THATS HOW MY MORNING WENT 😂💯
On god lmao
NO LIES this the BEST PODCAST. I LISTEN TO THEM IN MY CAR and WATCH the VIDS. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Man you obviously gotta get "Sheed" Rasheed Wallace tho.
Das gone be one of their best interviews.
Detroit in the house!! When sheed was on the Pistons that was one of the best and funnest times as a pistons Fan!! That team was the shit and was a TRUE TEAM!!! Won a championship without ONE specific star like nowadays!!
@@pisceandreams5893 That's somewhat true....and I say that because they had Ben Wallace who might be one of the best all around defenders in NBA history....Sheed was super nice as a big and Rip Hamilton scored 50 as a Washington Wizard....Tyshaun....lockdown defender and scorer....Chauncey was as clutch as any player in the league....that 5 was better than any team Lebron has ever had except for maybe when he was in Miami....after Bosh it was a steep dropoff....I'm not a Pistons fan but that was one of the best "TEAMS" in NBA history....they beat Shaq, Kobe, Payton, Karl Malone...Malone was still averaging 20!
@@graywolf2107 For sure brother!!!
I love how you were smart enough bro put "TEAM" like that in there!!!
True definition of a team who worked together!! I believe that team could beat anyone!! I wish they would have had better team management, because Joe Dumars messed up a great thing!! But they say god give and god take away!!
When that Team was playing it was like nothing else mattered in MICHIGAN...... Basketball was the best at that time!!
WHO did you grow up watching or thinking the best team was?!!?
@@pisceandreams5893 I'm a lifelong Knicks fan. LOL. I laugh because we won 2 titles and I was too young for both...in fact, I didn't become a Knicks fan until 83 or 84....I was in the process of picking my team and I liked the Showtime Lakers, the Sixers with Dr. J and the Atlanta Hawks with Doc Rivers and Dominique....PS....I had never heard of the Bulls....I'm serious.
Y’all doing great, sheed, Brandon Roy, kg, Abdul-rahiem, k-mart, Steve Francis
Abdul Rahiem was da truth so underrated I swear 💯💯💯💯
Fresh Rich I’m glad they got Z-Bo it was one of the names I posted last season, there are so many people I would like to see them interview. They just have to ask more questions, about the player’s experience.
we need sheed
Steve Francis is a must see
Shareef was cold too. It's unfortunate that he played on those terrible Grizz teams.
Zebo representing the Grizzlies. Shout to Z-bo
Zach Randolph a Hall of Famer? Me say Yes
I agree
Much, Much Respect...Im from Gary, Indiana AKA Gangsta, Island!
GI over here too...
@@chrisdacrisis4670 Shout out to The Chi...South Side, The Alligator, Wild Hunnits, West Side. K- Town!
Man you guys delivered. People have been asking for this interview forever!!
one of the best pure rebounders ever
Bro i never seen zbo smack boards but this man scored so many pts being the paint bully lol
Sports Talk With Zo ya he really didn’t have vert but his game was nice .
Skrewface303 His game was mean
Good interview! Not to mention one of favorite players. Z-Bo was a problem in his day! I'm in the DMV, but I was rooting for Memphis. It's rare we get too see Z-Bo up close and personal like this. Shout out to Knuckleheads for giving us this interview.
Christopher Murphy I thought it left a lot to be desired. Not enough jailblazers talk, no good Knicks 2007 stories. Nothing about that argument with cousins. No good isiah Thomas stories. No good marbury stories. Nothing about his brother. Nothing about his huge weed arrest. They kept it wayyyy to PC I thought. Zach is a legend and i enjoyed listening to him but he has So much more to say than this.
Peep the hat Memphis legend 💪🏾 ballin like I’m zbo (Zach) Gotti voice💵
5:47 "But you weren't ever really athletic" Lmaaaaao Q take it easy famo
That was actually a compliment to Z-Bo being crafty and an indirect insult to the more athletic defenders who couldn't stop him.
Z-Bo took pride in being a beast and not athletic in his day. As a young man he was known for his old man's game.
It’s a lot of superstars with a high basketball I.Q. But as far as nonathletic players Z-Bo is in a class with Larry Bird
Interview Sheed next
Memphis basketball is Tony Allen and Z-BO !
yezsuh' ✌🏿
Dont forget Marc and Conley
@@Dinrad360 But they stay after they was gone tho.
@@ThePimpn22 Now they gone too. RIP Grit and Grind era.
...but tony and Bo was grit and grind, tha sec they lef' our whole essence chanj'd as a team
Was in the middle of watching the all the smoke w/Steph Curry than I saw Z-bo had to switch over real quick
Facts! Didn't hesitate...
Facts! lol I had steph on but zbo is the og
Same lmaoo second half of Steph’s can wait
U bois out here bein real!
Yea I switched too had to listen one of the GOATs in my opinion
RIP Kobe & GiGi 💜💛💜💛 Great Words Were Always Spoken About Them
"Pj Brown " was not expecting that answer.
Jeffrey Ingram 😂
You must been in diapers or not even born in the 90s
Almost every star player has that one player that gave them fits....and its NEVER a Hall of Fame type player.I hear Barkley talk about Popeye Jones or Shaq talking about Big Country Reeves and others.We call them kryptonites
@@missayawk you are definitely correct it just caught me off guard.
Jeffrey Ingram boy you crazy. PJ was solid asf on the court. He'd definitely got buckets
Z Bo ain't one of my favorites because he can ball. He is all around a thorough man. Salute to a real one.
Liked this before the video even started. Shoutout to the homies for the new episode 🙏🏻
Marion Giants Baby. All love and respect for Zbo
MAD RESPECT 2 MAC BO 50 -Zach Randolph is the"TRUTH"
Cats You Didn't Wanna Cross Team: ZBo, Stephen Jackson, Ron Artest aka Metta World Peace, Ben Wallace, and Matt Barnes!
NO CAP ALL FAXXXX 💯
Sheed
Lol Artest didn't want it with Ben.
Big Ben for sure, Sheed, Z-bo but you can't leave outJordan, Kobe, AI. You already know when they got them mad it was a wrap.
@@St3phenking13 I'm talking about Guys you didn't wanna Knuckle Up With, but I feel ya!
First name 20, last name 10. Mr zbo. A legend.
Man y’all and All the smoke need one collab so happy y’all Cornered this market
Lol Z-Bo and TA was always kicking it in the hood in Memphis 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Who is TA? Tony Allen?
Joe Davis yep
As soon as Zbo said junt I was like yup Memphis rubbed off on him. Lol
🔱
Scoo dibiase 8300 Big GD 😂😂😂
D.Miles: Being from Marion, Indiana?
D.Miles: What Made you Go to Marion HS?
That was so funny to me brah. I don't think that question came out just right...hahahahaha
We need Brandon Roy next please
Get Rasheed Wallace next
BLAKE DA GREAT Roscoe!
Definitely agree Sheed that's my cat& was bless to see him play in person.. I was wearing his jersey the day of the game& Bonzi pointed at me& said Sheed that dude have your Jersey on..
Montrez Hadley fuck that old ass nigga
Rip to kobe and his daughter and everyone on the helicopter 💐💐💐💐💐💜💜💜😔😔💛💛💛💜🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praying for Z-BO daughter, dealing with loss of her teammates and her coach Kobe! I love this show, my family has taken this tragedy hard. I can only imagine yall boys knowing kobe and his family, how you guys are impacted.
Thanks to this show, everyday fans can get a "real" into their favorite players.
Knuckleheads, through the wire, and all the smoke top 3 basketball podcast out hands down
Chauncey Billups on here next
Bigshot! Yeh big up my Pistons.
For sure
Wow! I knew y’all would get this dude on👌🏿💪🏿 I’m one of the guys who requested this interview. Man, I remember being locked up with his older brother Roger Randolf back in the 90’s 😭 dude was tall, skinny and kind of remind you of KG but way more athletic. He was taller than Zach. Gold teeth, funny and got swag. We all looked up too Roger because he was like a celebrity in his own right with how he carried himself. People around the Pittsburgh/Grove City area at that time know what I’m talking about... Rog is from Indiana and I’m from Delaware but we were in this Juvy Joint/Boys school . I know him from being in that place so if anyone reading this who actually grew up with him knows I’m telling the truth. He use to poster dudes at will and catch em in the air like D Miles 🤦🏾♂️ This dude was sick on the court but I guess he always stayed in trouble so the world never got to see that special talent. I use to ask Roger about the 1 on 1’s but he would always downplay it lol I could tell older bruh use to give Zach that work tho 😂 I remember we use to all sit in this small room and watch Zach play when he was at Michigan lol when we were in this place. Roger always said his brother was going to the NBA one day.... I remember I watched Zach on mtv.cribs back in the day and he showed a pic of Roger on the show and I got hype lol. I always supported Zach and rooted for him off the strength of his brother. You can probably find the episode on RUclips. I mean, I don’t know if he remembers me but he should because I was young, but I was scrappy on the court. Put my little state on the map in that place 💪🏿 🗣Delaware Stand Up!! We came a long way. Hey, you KnucklesHeads should show Zach this comment and tell him bring his brother Rog on with him next time lol. I’d love to hear about those epic battles also I’d love to know what he’s been up too 😂🤷🏾♂️ shout out to Johnny from Cincinnati
RIP Roger Randolph #LonglivedoubleR
Roger is Z-Bo lil brother
Rob Smith My bad bro... Told you I only know Roger from being booked with him back in the 90’s. He was that dude in the Pittsburgh area at that time 💯💪🏿
Z bo is 1 of the most underrated players..
Time to Get A.I. & T Mac next
BLAKE DA GREAT already had A.I
ruclips.net/video/osmj-cicFH8/видео.html

ZBO another Midwest G salute guys keep comming with the real..
Zbo! Memphis legend! Respect on this interview!💯💯💯
💯💯💯 nothing but respect for Z-BO
Ran into Z Bo at Furniture Factory Outlet in Memphis one time. We talked basketball for a good 30 minutes. One of the best PF to never get a ring.
Anyone notice qrich higher than a mofo 💀

Yea you never ever hear Q this quite. Q always talking to the point nobody can get a word in.
“Did you win one of them championships wit’em?” 😂😂😂
Right?? Miles over there like Damn Nigga why you call me out?? We supposed to be brothers! 🤣
Z-Bo one the realist people outside of basketball. Always watched him play. Like he got game busting folks ass. Then as I got to having kids one of my kids had a interest in basketball. So I took her to Memphis to play basketball on AAU team. Who daughter on the team? Z-Bo. So I actually sent time with this man at tournaments, practice,etc. Nothing but respect and love for him. Real ass brother kept it 💯 at all times.
Z to tha B.O. left handed 🐐
Been waiting for this interview. Always good to see Zach Randolph cuz I respected his game. Did he just call Nate Robinson the Tazmanian Devil..lol
They should have given Nate the nickname Tazz. 😂
Lil Tazz 😂

THIS WAT WE ALL BEEN WAITIN ON 💯💪
First time I heard of Z-Bo was when he beat up Reuben Patterson lol
Marion Indiana native standup!! Much love from your hometown Z-bo!
ZBo! I'm your number one fan.
I'm from Indiana and have followed Zach Randolph since he was a sophomore in high school. Zbo SHOULD have gotten the Mr. Basketball in Indiana, but he said he was "rough around the edges". I'll translate "rough around the edges" for you. Zach Randolph had gun charges his senior year and the "powers that be" involved in basketball in Indiana wanted someone less "edgy". So they made Jared Jeffries Indiana Mr. Basketball. Jared Jeffries was clean cut and was someone anyone's father would want their daughter to marry. He REALLY is a nice guy. Him committing to Indiana helped the situation.
On the other hand, Zach was considered a "thug" and him committing to Michigan State further hurt Zach. So fast forward to the state tournament, Zach's high school (Marion High School) and Jared's High School (Bloomington North) meet in the state championship. Zach REALLY took not getting Mr. Basketball personal and it showed in the state championship.
I watched the game. Trust me, as soon as they saw Zach run on the court, the whole Bloomington team looked like they wanted to be ANYWHERE else but on that court with Zach.
Watching Zach Randolph dominate that Bloomington team was like watching Shaquille O'Neal at LSU. Randolph punked the whole team. I'd like to remind everyone that Bloomington North was the NUMBER ONE team in the COUNTRY and had TWO high school All Americans on it: Jared Jeffries and Sean May (who went to North Carolina and won a national championship there). Zach Randolph ate them both for breakfast.
Also, even though Marion is a small town in Indiana, trust me, those Marion dudes are hood to the core. Chicago dudes don't even mess with them Marion dudes. Their motto in those Marion hoods is "bullies get bullied here bi**h!!" So what Zach Zandolph told Demarcus Cousins is what people in Marion have been saying there since the 1950s.
After Larry Bird, Zach Randolph is my second favorite player of all time.
Nice shoutout to Rik Smits "the Dunking Dutchman" btw. Pacers Legend.
R. WALLACE NBA LEGEND
Really good interview. Much love to all three of you. Way to represent Marion Zach.
Another heat player, P.J. Brown respect
Zbo got moneybagg yo, yea this brother just doing it on both ends, respect bid dawg! I actually do see him just from his character, management Technic would be a big brother yet tuff love but uplifting Everytime
I remember when Bo started shooting n making them 3s!!! Dude was a problem Memphis legend
Loving The podcasts. Thank you and keep on keeping on 💯
Nothing short of amazing... #period
