"KD was straight business". Perfectly said.
Buckets. If you don't get buckets you're not even worth his time. If you talk to the refs you're a lesser baller
Nah shooting over Bol Bol with ease is crazy 😂
He was doubled on that play as well😂
why you have to preface that with nah
@@blotterdowney8075 nah fr tho 💀
He hit 3-4 jumpers over Bol Bol. I just re watched the game.(I went to it as well).
@@blotterdowney8075 nahh ong
I love hearing players talk about other players. That's real perspective
For real man. Its one thing to have conversations with fans online. But having someone sit across from you that legit guards these dudes irl is some real basketball insight.
Which is why Draymond is right about players being able to start a “new media” . There’s a different appeal to hearing their perspectives over the talk show heads
they will never say something real about how bad they think is another player, something honest... these interviews are limited in opinion
KD is a players player! Love hearing perspectives from actual players over analyst any-day.
Amen!
Facts
Man facts!!!!
kd shooting like 60% on middies while damn near all of them are contested is nuts.
He was doin that last year before the warriors game he was shooting 58% then gs played in one cover three guys were guarding him and he struggled
@@ChikisaMal28 I think kd started practicing more against doubles and aggressive defenders after the Boston series
The thing I love about KD and Kyrie is that they're straight business when it comes to scoring. No gimmicks, no trying to fool the refs or nothing because they know they can give you buckets anyway you want it. A lot of the other great scorers are always looking to influence the refs for calls, flopping all over the place.
Because they dont play physical but finesse bball therefore less foul caals or nedd for flopping
@@kelvinmunene1034 so they play the right way.
@@lilhorsechoka not necessarily "the right way" but a way that suits their skill set
Harden and Luka
@@kelvinmunene1034Kyrie is mad physical especially on his fade aways and layups and post up plays
Thank you JJ for what you're doing, I needed to hear player talk about that shot. That shot over Bol Bol was sick! What a time to be alive.
He is a cllown
“He dont even see me right now” is krazy 😂
I think playing against a guy like KD is a little bit unfair because when you really think about it there is nothing you can really do to stop him. The guy is 7ft with handles, crossover, mid-range, long-range, hesi, free throw. He has everything in his bag. He can pull up from anywhere and shoot over everybody.
Crazy to think that he even had an Achilles injury
And he’s a great defender, dude literally can do everything
@@saiyanprince2795 he’s a great defender when he wants to be but he plays lazy defense 99% of the time
@@TheRealAbraxasthat’s because he’s fatigued from doing all the work on the offense.
@@TheRealAbraxas not true
It’s just something about KD’s game. It’s just beautiful basketball. Giannis is unstoppable, LeBron has been that dude for 20 years, Steph will hit shots that just make no sense.
But KD’s game is so smooth and unaffected by defenses
Thats is the perfect explanation buddy
Giannis just bulldozes to the paint and hopes for the calls lmao
@@JT_1998 hopes ? Loool the defence on giannis is 3 guys stop him driving . They can’t guard him straight up !
Except when he's playing against Boston in the Playoffs. Then he's clanking the rim more times than Christmas carol bells.
@@JT_1998 and get a block and then run down and catch an oop on the other side all In one play, put some respect on his greatness
paolo seems really down to earth, super cool to hear his thoughts on things. hope to hear him on more pods in the future
I saw this game and I had the exact-same-feeling !!! I knew that this game and this matchup against KD would be his Welcome to the NBA moment 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I saw it too and I knew EXACTLY what KD was doing 😂😂😂
ok calm down lebron 😂😂
@@Diamante777nah fr 😂
Yeah when KD got bruh on the short baseline with the behind the back pull up no space all cash…i knew he was going to say the same thing 😂
@@brendonlorraine3090 FAAAAACT 🤣🤣🤣 I think it was the move when he got Franz or i don't know who and Paolo. It was awesome. But this whole game was a masterclass
I love this dude man nothing but upside from Banchero…Orlando got a gem
The concluding comment, about some guy guarding Kevin Durant, and then KD shooting the bucket: "KD didn't even see him, it was just cash right over the top." Wow.
some guy? respect bol bol smh
@@YTProgress Apologies, I'm a casual I guess. No disrespect intended.
@@modolief Haha all jokes bro
Look up Bol Bol and it will help you appreciate what he said more
Bol Bol is like, 7'3"? At that height his highest reach would be at the top of the backboard, maybe more. And KD just shot over him effortlessly.
KD is the real GoAT without accolades
Scoring title mvp etc but I guess you mean "goat accolades"
Facts
That’s A Oxymoron… Cuz If You A Goat, Then Naturally You’re Gonna Win Accolades Along The Line
Maybe scoring goat, can’t be goat when he’s only elite at one thing. Not an elite defender or playmaker
@@mitchellg4834 he’s good enough in those areas but he’s not goat. Definitely top 5 skilled tho
KD and Kyrie are arguably the 2 best players to just sit back and enjoy watching. Just beautiful basketball.
As a Knicks fan: gotta keep tabs on the Nets.
nah warriors and its not even close
@@kmuz08 bark be said 2 players, warriors is a team
Arguably the 2 highest skill level players. Ever. Kyrie for sure.
Slim Reaper and The Magician
I’ve never been a KD fan but I can always respect his ability on the court, virtually unguardable
KD KYRIE is arguably one of the most talented duos in history. Two of the purest basketball savants individually.
Well said…those two are like artists on the court
Players know who he is..
Y'all know who he is!
HE'S KEVIN DURANT 😭😭😭
Paolo already knows of these “scorers” get 15 ppg at the line 😂
*Cough* Metapod *Cough*
Trae young
includes himself
@@tyjking that's true 😂 It's a skill too so long as it's not all that he does, he'll be unstoppable.
Paolo looks high all the time and looks like he’d just sit around watching Netflix all day but yet he’s a world class explosive athlete lol. Respect
Lmao facts he looks like a dude at my job he always looking high and tired I call him Sleepy 😂 his nickname I gave him is sleepy
KD is the best NBA player. Easy money 💰
tbh
Noo , kd don’t even believe that
Shame we place so much emphasis on team accolades when judging individual players otherwise KD would get appreciated by the masses a lot more. KD is this generations Kobe in how younger players look up to him.
KD is a beast bust its goes to show what consistent media can do to the human. Id even argue less fans are watching games but will parrot what they hear from debate shows
No he is not
Kyrie is this generations kobe
@@majozikabini48 Devin Booker is this generation's Kobe... the way he can get hot and score the basketball is Kobesque.
KD’s skill is top tier if not the highest but he never showed that he’s the one take it home without hooping for the best team in the nba. Hence okc mvp seasons and on the nets (arguably his best version of himself).
I love this age of hearing guys talk in depth in season and it's not the regular media post game questions
I watched this game and you could tell that he knew he needed to step his game up after the game. Also got a signed Jersey from KD as well
KD is a real life created player...
U can't create that bald spot in 2k🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"He don't even see me right now. " Daaaanm! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
KD was my man after watching him play his first game at Texas, and by following him I became a Sonic fan but eventually OKC which I still am. I watch all of the Nets’ games too but OKC is, as KD said about Chet, “Going to be a problem.” When Chet plays we will all know what I mean-loaded, incredibly young, long, athletic and with a plan. Thanks Paolo as I really like the Magic.
That crossover was nasty tho
JJ you a dope individual bro, watched you during your career and now seeing you talk basketball on espn and doing this podcast I have an even more appreciation for you Brody ✊🏾 love the content and you being a real one god bless .
2:50 Bill Russell once said in that old Uncle Drew commercial that the game is always and has always been about buckets
Always said it. The most complete bucket getter is freaking KD mann
Probably my favourite clip. I couldn't stop laughing when he said he couldn't see me.
Love that about KD. All business, no BS. He don't care about the calls he deserves (until it gets outrageous) he gon score on you period. Legendary
That's my guy...when I want to watch a good player KD is the guy.
Even though media hates him the players give u thr TRUTH REGARDLESS HOW OTHERS FEEL
KD is every players favorite player. The goat
Kd ain’t the goat dude relax
HAHAHAHHAHA stop
He might not be the goat, but he is better than lefraud
@@branislavlukic3919 people like you secretly love Lebron so much that you bring him into everything 😂 your pathetic. Get a life outside of hating on somebody
@@MCFC399 who is the goat ?
KD is elite. Nothing more nothing less 🐐
I love when NBA players keep it 💯. Great conversation. Side note: KD is Top 10 of all time! & best scorer of all time! & best in the NBA right now lol
KD gonna have to react to this 👀
I'm not at all a KD fan, yet I still need to admit he's the best player in the league. He literally has zero weakness offensively.
He’s light
Big Facts
I love when great young players give proper respect to an OG
Kd is the MJ of 7 footers
Good kid. Rooting for him
This is what’s beautiful about this podcast. I’m a big analytics guy but I used to play competitive too and when you play against guys, you know who stands out you don’t need to see the numbers. I’ve seen prime Harden, Steph, Lebron, and Embiid live and I always tell people KD the best player I’ve seen in person. What Paolo helps validate what I’ve seen, the guy in a vacuum is the perfect NBA player.
Also this further validates how impressive Tatum’s defense was on KD in the playoff this past season. And while getting buckets on the other end…younger players in the future will talk about him like how players are talking about KD now
Kd is that guy
KD is the most gifted scorer the NBA has ever seeen !
The only thing that can stop KD is a well crafted tweet
Gave the man his flowers. Respect.
Kd midrange = layup
KD is one of, if not the best offensive players ever. There is nothing he can’t do to score the ball. Enjoy watching him in real time while y’all can. Pure bucket
KD got that welcome as well when Kobe baited him to taking an ill advised 3 and the Sonics lost. Good thing this kid has the understanding that sometimes, you just can't do nothing vs Elite players.
KD and Kobe Matchups were amazing
@@fire6144 and most of them are close games as well!
He got his from melo it wasn't Kobe
Orlando has a future MVP in their hands, hopefully they don’t F it up. That franchise has been through a lot.
We need a bol bol episode 🙏👏
One thing to note all those free throws were and one plays
Kevin Durant is my favorite player but just seeing him be able to do these crazy moves at this age is just crazy and Kevin is just such a nice player that is why he is my favorite because he shows respect and kindness to anyone and everybody.
This is why people cried so much when he went to Golden State. Every player keeps saying that there's nothing you can do with him. GSW did not need to do the league like that.
Seriously 💯 you know they were going to get titles automatically
Lol facts but it was beautiful to watch! Damn near every shot was a bucket no matter who was shooting it 😂
@@spencerholloman9354 Yeah I was against the premise of it but MANNNNNN that was beautiful basketball to watch during those years 😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve always said if you want to know the best player in the league, ask the players. Not the media, coaches or the fans. Too many fans are influenced by the sports media who have other agendas or people in power influencing them. Most players will tell you KD is the best in the league.
He welcomed the Nba on Banchero show lol
I remember watching that game and when he shot over Bol Bol with ease I was like "I wanna marry him!!" 😀
For that last part that went over ppl heads. Bol bol is 7’4 with a 7’8 wingspan. KD shot over him with EASE!
KD wingspan I think 7'7 as well so dude is stretch with the shot
And it was an And 1
I thought KD unstoppable as an offensive player because he is so much taller than most people defending him but when he did the same thing against Bol and there was nothing Bol could do to stop him that’s when I knew he really is built different and his talent is not limited to his physical abilities
It took that play to make you realize that.....
It's times like this that make me miss Kobe Bryant, he would talk about basketball in the player's perspective and he would give props to players that nba media analysts fail to do so. I would want to hear him talk about KD and how under appreciated he is by the fans and media.
Please drop full
Paolo Banchero was 10 years old when Inception came out
I thought he was about to talk about the behind the back dribble escape into jumper for and1. Now that was nasty. Paolo was there but not there lol
KD its the most special bucket getter I have ever watch. Respect for the rest great players but KD it’s different 🙌🔥
0:20 I think what JJ is trying to say is "welcome to Paolo Banchero, NBA"
Paola a big boy... I like this kid, he can make it to top 50 before it's all said and done...
Paolo doesn’t get enough credit everyone already focused on wemby
Banchero is the future of the NBA!
KD and Kyrie are my favorite players to watch and it's not close frfr. And I'm a Sixers Fan
Also a Sixers fan and I agree.
Paolo needa hop on my show next 🤣💯
JJ=🐐
JJ Reddick have to get Bol Bol for a guest.
Shout out to KNUCKLE HEADS!!! They made this question famous!!!!!!!
Im kevin durant yall know who iam
a cupcake who had to join a 73-9 team to win?
@@Soldier979 He was the best player on this team😂
@@mustafabavary3193 Gsw won another one w/o him that made KD so furious he demanded to be traded from the Nets 😂
@@Soldier979 keep same energy when he win a championship with the nets🔥🔥
People always say this about Kevin Durant amazing
Had a feeling this would end up being a convo on JJ's podcast. I don't want to be that guy to say "I called it" but if you watch my videos, you know 😎
this is why Kd is still the best player in the game, he does it all, he's not a media puppet so they wanna give that title to giannis, who can't shoot, can't hit free throws and is not even the close on his team, luka, who's very talented, but he can't play defense and i watched Kd shut luka down, or whoever else, none of those guys are Kd
It’s like that playing against the best player in the league 💯
“He don’t even see me right now” that’s a zone!
That man is INSANE 💯
That’s a big human being.
His energy caved when speakin on KD, my boi really the reaper
If Kd has a bad roster around him you can double him like the Celtics did last year
i searched "kd 45 points on banchero" and he wasnt lying, str8 massacre , and he hit like 4 fades on bolbol fully contested , lmao i got humbled just watching lol
"KD didn't see him." That's gotta be frustrating on defense. What DO you do?
You tell ‘em Paolo😂
Can you please pass to Bol more, Paolo? Thanks!
I just watch the game he's talking about. But KD hit about 3-4 over Bol Bol lol.
Paolo talkin' like a 5-year vet --- I knew folks was frontin' when they were talkin' 'bout taking the skinny dude first!?
What!?
Paolo had the only fully ready NBA body in the college game!
And ROY is already ova!
His Humble momment was Murray on the hawks that was some serious beef
He doesn't even see you"...Jesus. cold as ice
The Celtics showed us exactly how to guard KD. Did people forget?
Kd will be a top 5 player he made the Nba look for his genetics. No player body type was ever searched like Kd.
offensively, i think KD is in the top 10 of all time, probably top 5 at his apex. but his all around game, it keeps him as maybe a top 15 player all time
All around he does everything well
@@brendanbloom3366 i don’t agree with that at all. besides scoring the basketball, he has no other elite factors: not an elite defender, not an elite playmaker, not even a great rebounder if we being completely honest, & the list goes on and on man.
basically, everything, besides his amazing scoring ability, he’s pretty average at. but his scoring is so amazing that he’s in the top 15 so that’s something i gotta tip my hat to
@@ShaneAlan1 you sound idiotic buddy😂 if you’re tryna tell me that KD is elite in any other factors of basketball besides scoring, prove it right now. there is stats everywhere so it’s very easy to obtain since im “a causal” lol. you KD dickriders are the real causals
@@denim5667 yeah you don’t watch enough of him. The narrative that he’s just a scorer is completely outdated.
@@brendanbloom3366 but.. he is? literally he is. besides his scoring, what other thing is he elite in? to be considered anywhere in the top 10, you have to have more than one elite factor in your game.
KD, besides scoring, is average everywhere else.
- he’s not a good point of attack defender and he’s a solid weak side defender so that makes him an average-good team defender
- he’s never been an elite-great playmaker for how amazing he is as a scorer
- he’s said to be somewhere between 6’10-7’ and has always been an average at best rebounder
like seriously, what am i missing that he is elite at besides scoring?😂 please let me know something since “i don’t watch him enough”
Orlando on the come up
Lebron use to have that dominance like kd where it doesn't matter what team you pluck him in, he will score and do what he does. Other superstars shine but they shine even more because their team is able to set them up. Kd is basically an iso player and noone can stop him
I know it's all in the past now, but I will never get over how this dude was allowed to join a 73-9 team that lost the finals in the last minute of a game 7!!! Just imagine trying to stop him while still guarding Steph and Klay, it doesn't even make sense LOL
Like it or not KD is the best player in the league, you just need to hear how players talk about him.
