- Thanks for watching and apologies for the mic situation. To be honest, we didn't have much of a choice but that didn't stop an amazing conversation w/ Blake. Thanks for watching!.
It’s been a long time coming but JJ and Tommy are finally together in the same room interviewing one of JJ's favorite old teammates, Blake Griffin. In this spectacular interview, Blake sits down for an intimate and honest discussion on several topics, including: Blake's new love of golf, discussions about whether Blake believes he's an a** hole, on his confrontations w/ the refs, on his decision to leave The Detroit Pistons and join the Brooklyn Nets, playing with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden, discussing his peak seasons, how he evolved his game over the years, his basketball intelligence, how the Nets playoff run was doomed by injuries
Concerning this upcoming season, on the insanity of social media and how stories (or non-stories) blow up, what’s next with his comedy aspirations and so much more.

Jj - " what's the backlash like?"
B - "me and LaMarcus have started a support group if you ever decide to join"
😂😂😂
Blake is genuinely HILARIOUS lol
@@wherevinoat
O
I can't believe nobody brought up that Blake scored his career high (50 points) on JJ and won the game for them in overtime. It wasn't even that long ago, 2018.
Somethings are left on the court
Probably that same game that random rebound happened
That’s the game they talked about with the rebound
Blake undersells himself he played phenomenal in the playoffs always steps up in big situations

Facts!
People forget how bad Clippers was before Blake came into the league. He literally carried that team and made it a must watch for years.
They had one of the greatest point guards of all time though
What? Maybe little kids forget, but if there's ONE thing the Clipper franchise is known for, it's their 3 decades of futility under Sterling (minus the Larry Brown years and Brand/Cassell years). The last decade has been great, though, except for not getting a title. Hopefully that's coming.
How did he literally carry them lmao they had Chris Paul dj they had great teams
“Nobody wanted it more than me. Dunking was kinda my thing” 😂😂 Blake top 5
53:53 :)
Blake will always be one of my Favorite Clippers. He put us on the map in a good way.
cp3 did not blake
@@puglife2773 nope
,
That clippers spurs series was soooo sick. Not surprised it drained them physically and mentally.
In my opinion those clippers teams have the two best first round series of all time.
As a spurs fan we were already drained from b2b finals runs.
@@Egghead1199 The year after yall went crazy tho 67 wins, probably top 5ish all time regular season and lost to OKC having had LA, and David West
@@warwick802 we were old AF tho… kinda like this years Lakers.
@@Zaydub the 2009 Celtics-Bulls first round is also really good one along with the ‘15 clippers-Spurs
I swear there's gonna be a lot of player doing this kind of podcast to clear the air from the narrative driven by the mainstream media
It’s gonna be nice seeing these bs shows on tv get less attentions going forward
As soon as the guys retire they become "media" and the current guys will get mad at them lol
@@bhatl07 not every guy tho, i kinda believe that "those guys" who ends up in the mainstream media are the one that have regret of not doing the fullest at their era, and ends up doing those kind of narative for the younger generations so every players nowaday actions are weak compared to what they do in their era
@@davidfebreeze428 exactly, and it gives us fans a lot perpective about whatever we dont see outside the court
as they should !!
Blake has been overlooked as a basketball brain for sure. He’s always been a very crafty player with the ball in his hands. He’s gotten a horrible rep since the fall of the Clippers, I hope he gets what he deserves to finish out his career. Monster athlete, hard worker, and a great mind.

For a good while, Blake was my litmus test for a good basketball fan vs a casual. If I asked someone about him and they told me he was just a rolling/dunking big then I knew they didn’t really watch ball; criminally underrated toward the end of his LA tenure & his first year in Detroit, injuries just robbed the guy.
He could’ve been mvp In 2014 real talk. He was in the race consistently.
@Cj Prince the problem was Draymond was a perfect counter and Blake didnt fix his jumpshot yet.
@@stanleythomas10 Yep, anyone who saw this guy play in person up close understands how truly skilled he is
Pistons Fan here. Love B.. Was there when he put up a 50 piece on PHILA. Pretty tough scene when he suited up against the Bucks in playoffs, basically had a cast on. Anyhow, I very much enjoyed his years here. Thanks Blake.
Got home for the end of that game was amazing.....didn't embiid go off to?
@@savage7ecneek437 If I'm not mistaken, Markelle Fultz almost had a triple double too. I can't remember if Embiid went off, but I wouldn't be surprised.
It’s crazy how different the perspective on BG is from Pistons fans compared to fans of other teams. Most Pistons fans appreciate what Blake did in DET. Meanwhile, the fans of every other team claim BG punted it.
“That’s my uncle” 😭😭😭 Blake is hilarious
Is it really his uncle?? Yoooo!!
David Griffin was the New Orleans GM JJ was talking about.
@@Akay14267 they have the same last name
I googled right after he said that 😂😂
@@acramos6473 so is it his uncle or no ?
As a clipper fan,Blake’s last year with the clippers was appreciated so much ❤️he was our whole team & left his heart on the floor
No way in hell you live in L.A. and are a clippers fan, those contradict each other.
Content like this is the future over skip and Steven a yelling nonsense lol.
Exactly it’s ok sometimes but the lebron all the time sh*t from Shannon has really gotten old asf
Then skip changing his mind constantly 🤷🏽
Especially having the perspective of the player, hopefully Lebron gets on a podcast when he retires or something
nah people are always going to watch people arguing from 2 different POV's.
but this isn't espn. do you want espn to air hour long podcasts with players talking, how would that even work? just consume what you like and ignore what you don't
But they've had shows like this long before debate shows and they were never as popular
Those clipper days were fun. Time flies I wish we could truly understand how Precious every moment is thank you JJ for re -living those moments with me
We need Jamal Crawford on the pod please :)
has he never been on? that is surprising
He’s has been
@@freddybear89 lol. gotta check it out
Having them in person, you could feel the energy and chemistry! Might be my favorite ep.
Blake Griffin is chill bro. He gets a bad wrap I feel like. He seems like a dope person
bad rap from who?
@Darnell the media tends to portray players a certain way and fans run with it
Exactly. Blake is a funny guy 💯
Bad wrap from media no doubt. I dont know if this makes sense but girls like kendall jenner (bad wrap aside) dont just date any guy let alone be her boyfriend for a duration if he aint chill or cool to start with then the emotional aspect comes next if theyre compatible which they arent since they broke up. Sorry if its kind of out of topic
The clips were my favorite team during Griffin's years because they were so fun to watch.
You should get a referee on the podcast!
They not talking to these dudes😂😂😂
Tim Donahy 😂
maybe a cool ref if there is one lol. But most of these refs nowadays on some bs and the players hate them
Always have loved Blake - dude came into the league as someone who only scores on dunks, layups, putbacks, or dropstep jump hooks from 4 feet out - he had the look of someone who that once they lost their explosiveness would never be able to contribute in a meaningful way again. Instead of being good with that, dude developed his jumper year by year by year, eventually developed his range out to the three point line and has become a good mid range and 3pt threat - a testament solely to his work ethic and drive. Ben Simmons could learn a thing or two from Blake. Instead of assuming because you made it to the league you’re a finished product this guy continued to develop other areas of his game once his leap diminished. Much respect
As a Clipper fan, I’m an ultimate fan of Blake and JJ still no matter who else they play for during their careers. Their years on the team were so exciting and epic for the franchise. They gave it all.

2015 playoffs was insane - Clippers knock out the defending champs in the first round and get bounced by Houston in the 2nd round. The West had like 6 legit contenders (Spurs, Dubs, Rockets, Clipps, Grizz, OKC)
OKC missed the playoffs that year
@@cp3_pointgod that was because of KDs injury
Man that zack Randolph Marc gasol grizz era was really underrated nb ever talk about them nm
14:34 Lmao 🤣 Blake definitely a chill dude. One of the best dunkers ever
What a career BG has had. I remember his early years where he was a one-dimensional player with flashy dunks.
Actually even in his early years he was a good secondary playmaker. Especially when he’s passing out of short rolls or from the high post.
Only casuals think he was one dimensional. He had a handle, post game and passing ability from day one but you wouldn't know unless you just saw highlights. Hence the conversation JJ starts at 38:55
@@silewis9396 idk what a casual is, but iKnow straight out the gate there was something truly different bout blake. How is he Still this athletically agile & dominant, while his knee is 30% paper mache? iRemember the bloodshed, the war on the floor & the gratuitous nutshots..but to be an NBA number 1 draft pick in the 21st century & being led hand to hand thru Donald Sterling's white Party?
Tiger dunk!
Exactly man I was thinking the same thing. His work ethic alone has gotten him from being a threat from 4 feet and in only to a threat from mid range and three in a day where the three point ball is so important. What a career, indeed. I was definitely guilty of thinking back when this guy first came into the league that once his explosiveness left he’d be a poor
Man’s Amare stoudamire but he definitely proved me wrong and I’m so happy about it. He refused to just be one dimensional, and clearly worked at his craft and respected his place in the league opposed to someone like Ben Simmons who acts as though he’s a finished product at 25/26yrs old and refuses to put the effort in the develop a jumper. Real happy for BG
I have an new outlook and respect for Blake Griffen 🙌
I hope Blake doesn’t disappear when he retires. Love the guy
This is seriously the best podcast and interview I've ever seen.
Blake is one of my favorite players I’m so excited to hear this
The media always puts out stories about players/situations. Hopefully more players do stuff like this. 💯
This has been one of the best podcasts yet
Still always wished he flushed that air bama 360 dunk around the back board behind the baseline from the corner 3 in the dunk contest.
Was or would of been 1 of the best dunks I've seen.
The Chandler Parsons burn was great
Great interview...you guys have really perfected these things. There are some other good NBA podcasts, buy I think JJs experiences really pushes these interviews to the next level.
I think JJ has an edge over All the Smoke and Knuckleheads because he is still a current player. I hope Duncan's pod works because of that also. Being a current player has its advantages.
@@semi6544 i love them all especially ATS and Knuckleheads but yeah you can always feel a different vibe during JJs shows since he still is playing and has that player/vet mindset
@@aaronwahler -- I love them all too. I also like the I Am Athlete Pod with the NFL players. Its pretty good too.
@@semi6544 You should check out Baron Davis and Carmelo Anthony’s podcasts
Jalen's was first, no?
That clippers vs spurs series was one of the greatest Ive ever seen.
More fans need to watch this pod. You do such an amazing job humanizing these athletes. Such an important and pleasant thing to see. 👊
Nicest person? Its Boban from the Mavs, 110%. 😄😄😄
No doubt.
Or Aquaman, Steven Adams
Boban is so nice, even the teams he plays against like him.
We need JJ's mixtape asap.
Blake in my top 5 dunker all time. Watch the paul gasol back 2 back devasting dunks. To be his size and rise the way he does he is 1 of a kind.
As someone who began their NBA fandom with the BG and the Clippers, this was bittersweet to listen to. They hit it right on the head that 2014-2016 were some of the strongest years they had as competitors. Hell, I'd even argue that 2012-2013 were just as good because you could see they were starting to hit their stride (eg. career highs, consistent win streaks, etc.)
And then... watching the team implode. One star after another being shipped off or asking to leave. Constant scrutiny from the media, diminishing fan morale, "Doc Rivers" and so on.
Even though the Clippers are well off now -- hats off to Blake, JJ, and crew who were able to make something from nothing.
Blake better do tv, acting, something, he is naturally hilarious lol
that;s the plan for sure after his nba career.
He does stand up, doesnt he?
I loved Blake in Detroit. It was just never a good situation for him or the team. That’s not his fault. It was awesome seeing him play in person!
Man, I really love this podcast.
Blake is still my favorite player. I won’t forget what you did on the Lob City Clippers💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
So inspired by your podcasts my friends and I have a basketball podcast and your podcast is something we aspire to be one day
We need cp3 and Blake on the same pod
37:27 - 38:21
This explaination shows how in sync and in tune this team was. Beautiful.
Jarrett Allen: “Man, I miss that” 😭😂
we need that mixtape JJ!
Thank you for this late night banger
Love the podcast and the conversation. These are great interviews!
Also, frustrating camera angles, and the guys aren’t in focus on closeups. Please get some mics that make sense for video 👍🏾
The realest ginger in it
Ya already know
Got Blake of the Year 2 times in a row
JJ to BKN confirmed 👀
Y’all should move the mics to opposite side of each jj and ta so the viewer can see their faces
I always liked Blake as a player. My personal favorite dunker ever! Great interview👍🏾
I like these episodes a lot. As an average fan, it's hard to image BG working on his jumpshot since rookie year ... Good for him ~ I'm a big Giannis fan but hopefully we run it back this year with both team healthy.

What time did they talk about the new clippers
Underrated comment
U are a real one bro!! Thank you!!
I feel like Blake is extremely misunderstood and mainly because of how media created the narratives about him.
Hope he stays healthy for the upcoming years and gets his ring
I'll never have a more favorite basketball player in my life than this guy right here Blake Griffin
I know nothing about wine, but all it screams to me is...Business Expense. lol. good stuff.
😂😂😎💯
this was excellent. love BG

only Boban gets love from all the teams he has played for.
29:52 You guys didn't squander anything with the Clippers, but Austin Rivers sure as hell did. Gotta love the multiple behind-the-back self-ankle breakers on the fast break to just change the momentum of the game.
Edit: Very disappointed you didn't bring up Blake & DeAndre's amazing video of Blake imitating Austin Rivers while Austin Rivers is watching. That may actually be my favorite Clippers moment of all time.
Cut Austin some slack he went crazy against Portland when the team was injury ridden
i think it was blake and matt barnes with austin. that was really funny lol
@@macvincemosquera9616 You might be right, that does sound like Matt Barnes now that I listen closer.
Still, that was an amazing burn.
Wen you a dunker and you elevate ya game, it's easily overlooked cause you are the main attraction. Dunking. Blake really became mo polish in Detroit and then injuries happened. I'm certain he'll have a breakout season with all this rest he's getting and healthy.
Dudes, I know what those valve roles are and I LOVE them and appreciate them.
"now you're looking at an average 3pt shooter so who's laughing now" 😂😂😂😂
Alright fellas, when do we get to hear one of these JJ mixtapes? You can’t just put that out there and not let us hear it! Lmao.
This Nets team is scary offensively. Hope they can all stay healthy
Wish Lob City made it to the WCF in 2015. Epic rematch with the warriors. Spurs series musta taken it out of them. History remembers Lob City tho!!
i think the clippers had the best chance to beat the warriors that season. i am not saying they will going to beat them but they have a big chance. how i wish. good times.
ahhh i love Tommy but he interrupted Blake with a new question a few times when he was trying to tell a story
If thats how u feel let him know. I'm sure everyone is trying to get better at there craft
I completely agree, it never felt like his questions transitioned flawlessly
@37:37 Blake seamlessly describes an offense with players from years ago. That team was crazy.lol
It was really the Warriors (2016 and onward) that ended them. The warriors were the most watched team at the time and when they played the clippers they destroyed them.
Blake is really smart!
The setup could be a Lil better….. but no complaints
Are you here for the podcast or to look at grown men talk
@@TanNguyen510 that’s why I said no complaints lol
@@TanNguyen510 what’s wrong with looking at grown men?
Another great interview JJ. The Blake not dunking situation was really misleading. Glad he could clarify what really happened
Elite interview Blake will forever be remembered in the NBA
this isnt the most interesting, but it's the best podcast so far. Blake's take is really nice and calming. It would be nice if he was a regular but I know that won't ever happen lol.
Also, as an average fan Blake never came off as unintelligent, he just came off as tough.
Blake is a sharp thinker & he's quick witted with some meta jokes
"Are you ready for the backlash"
JJ podcast is trying to get back on track as a basketball podast...
Thank goodness
“Kd mentally penetrating the bucks” lol
JJ! How dare you not drinking your wine after the 1st toast!
Great interview, constructive criticism would be to sort out the mic positions please and thank you
I think Tyrese might start a podcast soon. He's always with Jj.
So funny that my childhood favorite players Drose and Blake actually ended up on a team together. Life's a movie
You guys should work on the positioning of the mics and choosing better frames for the shot. Great talk as always!
Also, nailing the focus right. So the person is in-focus and not the bottle. Sorry for my constructive criticism.
Blake 🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥
For the most part I agree with JJ about front office being responsible for Boston Super-team. With that being said it was equal half player empowerment. Boston and timberwolves had an agreed upon a deal but was halted because of Garnett’s no trade clause which he has to use(which he did) And only once Boston pulled off a draft night trade for Ray, then Kevin allowed a trade to Boston to happen.
Great episode!🔥
JJ constantly on the verge of laughing is too funny!
Blake Griffin is Top 3 greatest dunker of all time.
100% no specific order, top 5 is
Blake Griffin
Vince Carter
Michael Jordan
Shawn Kemp
LeBron James / Dominique Wilkins
@@angelusgnz5784 wow,same with me perfectly! I would pick Lebron my top 5. Sorry willkins.. 😞 😔
@@도충 yeah same just wanted to show respect to human highlight reel
@@angelusgnz5784 no Clyde Drexler? Come on now that's the guy who made MJ wanna do crazy free throw dunks
During the lob city era the clippers had the most stacked roster in the league & not to mention the amount of rage quits I caused using them on 2k
“We gave him a lot of strokes” lmaoo
Tag team blake and jj redDICK
As one of the people who was mad at Blake. Can’t hate the guy 😂he’s funny. The support group 🤣🤣
Great episode fellas!
Breakfast time Blake Griffin interview letsgoo
THIS WAS AMAZING
please fix the mic arm placement, great pod!
Oh this is bout to be a good one!!
Blake got the best one-liners
JJ hit it right on the nail the Celtics did not call each other up and say lets all play together itz not the same thing like nowadays
To tell you I was so fan of your clippers as I already said in past month , I'm big cp fan , i wanted the ring for you all .
