These new guys like JJ Reddick don’t appreciate players of the past, and even call them plumbers. So the “just appreciate” argument he’s using today is hypocritical. If you’re willing to heavily criticize players of previous eras, then it’s okay to heavily criticize players of the current era.

@@vineelkesavarapu5736Who loved a watered down expansion era where players could hand check and not shoot? That isnt "tough defense". The 90's defense literally doesnt even grade in the top of any era, in any statistic, other than opponent FG% -which wouldnt you know, is because the league couldnt shoot and wasnt nearly as skilled as today! The only reason the 90's are so romanticized is because of Michael Jordan- a guy with no contemporary amongst his peers, with the best roster in the league, who played in a league with less great players and less great teams. The only way a team wins 6 of 8 titles in as much time is because the league lacked talent and parity. We will never see a team win 6 of 8 years again in NBA history- because there is too much talent and parity. The 90's are the most overrated era in basketball history and it isnt even close.

@aaronbarkley539 exactly, and it's already been put out there, and it's obvious. That's why people are tired of Lebron. They have been forcing him on us since 2003.
Accepting the Cupcakes! KD is a great player but he to win championships and stop running away from responsibility and it’s all about the eye test to me. Stay silent and keep putting in the work. Good video 😊
JJ Redick lives in the stat sheets, he thinks Jokic is simply great because of his Tripple doubles not because of the leadership and because he takes responsibility for the team or the fact that he stayed for a team to build around him instead of chasing championship teams.he doesnt see anything else but the numbers. He can be convinced James Harden and CP3 are perfect players who only have bad team mates.
A guy that constantly berates and attempts to undercut the greatness of Jordan, is really going to attempt to talk about "lack of appreciation" for players? The only consistency with JJ is his inconsistency. What a clown.
Reddick's new podcast has racked up a quarter million views already. There are thousands of comments praising it for exposing the stupidity of old media. Basketball is so much more than protecting the "greatness of Jordan". The Love-Jordan-Hate-Lebron story was the dumbest and most profitable product from the old media, and you guys absolutely fell for it. Still endlessly parroting the same narratives over and over again.
@@aaronbarkley539they should be greedy. Pro careers are often very short and very unpredictable. And most of these players don't have much to fall back on. Why would they not try to get as much while they can?
Listening to players talk is great especially when they are retired. However, this crap is out of hand. They want to rewrite history, cover themselves and don’t hold certain current players accountable. Not to mention how some of these players don’t have the mind to talk basketball like Kobe, Kenny Smith, and others.
Listening to players like Redick, Teague, Arenas, Draymond and the like really shows how few NBA players actually know anything about basketball. And all you really need to thrive after basketball is to become a brown noser for whoever the 2K community's favorite stat padders are and say blatantly ignorant things about players who actually got it done.
It’s funny to me how a common push back when you question a current or former NBA player’s knowledge of the game is “well you can’t judge them because they played in the League and you didn’t.” But that doesn’t mean they know everything about basketball. Jordan is the greatest player of all time, but he's mediocre at best as an executive. just because a dude happened to be super athletic and skilled doesn't mean they know how to break a game down or build a team.
That 2018 WCF Game 7 is the reason I quit watching my beloved Rockets. I was a fan for 30 years, through the bad years, through the Championship years, they were my team even when they were dead last in the league...Then they fucked around and went 7 of 44 from deep and missed the Finals by 9 point. I haven't watched a single minute of a Rockets game since that evening.
So I gotta respect a player that chokes away a series to a rival then abandons his squad as a FRANCHISE PLAYER to play with that exact rival. Not only do I gotta respect him, but I'm the ridiculous causal if I don't have him in the GOAT conversation
@@tdup191 Because they were two of the best teams in the western conference. Just because they didn't play much in the playoffs doesn't mean it wasn't on sight during the regular season
“Now stopping it right there” - not a uncut hoops video without that line being said. Warms my heart honestly. Keeps me knowing that there is still hope in this World and just maybe hope for the NBA.
So J.J. RideDick disrespects Older Players with Hard-Earned Rings & called them Plumbers, while he wants to force people to respect KD who have no Hard-Earned Rings outside of Steph's Warriors? And Jeff Tick wants to lick Hardens Fat Butt for earning no Rings even he flops hard...While dismisses Wade for having 3 Rings. (1st Ring won by him as the Leader, & 2 are won by carrying LeBrick & his Heat Superteam)
I don't "hate" Lebron like a lot of you seem to hate him, but I low-key never understood why he was considered so good. In 2011 and those years I thought D Wade was better than LeBron, in 2016 I thought Kyrie Irving was better than LeBron and in 2020 I thought AD was better than LeBron. I don't have anything against the guy, but I just don't see why he is so good. With D Wade, Irving, Durant, Jokic, Kawhai, Curry etc. you can see how ridiculously good and skilled they are, I just don't see that when I watch Lebron.
''You were supposed to destroy them, not join them'', one of the few quotes I liked in the Star wars prequels. I find myself use a lot more since 2012... Also, I would put Manu before Harden, I just can not consider playoff chokers/losers as greatest.
If Durant doesn't go to GS to get his rings... he's just Charles Barkley. I am not diminishing Barkley or Durant by making that comment... but I don't get the "underappreciated" comment. KD is appropriately appreciated for his skill... and justifiably criticized for not being a real one when it counts
Harden relied heavily on his little head bob flop to draw fouls in the regular season. Not getting those calls in the playoffs left him with no way to dominate. He needed to get defenders into foul trouble to get space to shoot. He needed to be able to get to the line without actually having to take hits. But in the post season you mostly have to actually get fouled in order to get the call.
The problem is people assume that you can't both appreciate and criticize. KD really is one of the most transcendent players of all time. Easily the greatest offensive threat. But, he's underperformed his whole career. Some of it not his fault. Some of it is. KD isn't even within a plane flight's distance to the GOAT debate. This is what these takes lack. Nuance and context. You can definitely acknowledge greatness and shortcomings simultaneously.
@@ParanoiaKeepsMeWake I don't know if he underperformed but I do know him and lebron are exactly the same and both of their careers don't add up to top 10 players
@fullmetal1766 no the fuck they aren't. This is the most Bron hate I seen in a minute. Bron has four chips, four Finals MVP's, four MVP's although he should have more, he was in consideration for DPOY and came second when he should've had first, he's made like 21 all star games, and he's been All NBA so much the number is laughable. This all while having scored the most points in NBA history in either playoffs or regular season. He's a got a singular scoring title. KD has one MVP. Two chips. Two Finals MVP's (all on the best team I might add), 13 all star selections, and all NBA ten times. KD's career is half of LeBron's, almost numerically. And then, he was on the greatest team of all time when he did most of what matters in his resume. KD's career is objectively good enough for top 15. Top 20 is the absolute furthest he should be. You could argue top 10, but 15-11 is where I'd say he's at. LeBron is unquestionably the second greatest player to ever do it and arguably the greatest. Saying his career is outside of top 10, and Saying that he's the same as KD on paper (LeBron actually compares almost identically to *JORDAN* ) immediately invalidated anything else you had to say. Go to your optometrist and requests new eyes because you must've somehow missed the last decade or you're too young to have been watching hoops earnestly back then. Him and LeBron exactly the same... you gotta be like 13.
You just sound so damn salty in this video it’s hard to watch. JJ is obviously not gonna invite someone he’s friends with and has played with onto his podcast and roast the fuck out of him, this isn’t fucking 60 minutes or a presidential debate. It’s a podcast dude, he’s there to get other perspectives whether they are right or wrong that’s for us to decide. As for the Teague thing, yeah that’s an L take imo, but his podcast is still hella entertaining and he provides plenty of stories that are context to NBA players and teams.
Honestly, they’re just coping that all these modern superstars did some grimey stuff to get were theyre at. Lebron pretty much did what Shaq did and left every team for a better one, and KD did same. Young people don’t get gaslight by these takes. There is a reason why most of y’all only root for the players instead of the team. The media groomed you to do so. To follow a person who tattoos “Chosen 1” on himself, said he was the greatest player of all time after the fact he deferred the ball to Kyrie for the game winner and Kyrie scored more points during that finals. KD’s legacy is done. He is a bus rider with exceptional talent.
KD is at best a tier 2 player from his generation. I see some people trying to make a GOAT case for him now. It’s absolutely absurd. One of the greats, sure, but among THE greatest, no way.
The problem is guys like JJ and Arenas, guys who never really accomplished anything in the NBA and would be forgotten years from now if not for podcasts are think their games would transfer better to todays game. They want to hype up this era to stay relevant and to make themselves feel better.
So you who doesn’t have real insight of what it takes wants to tell people that the people who do know and have a better insight are killing yall numbers and it makes the channels and videos with deep dives in accurate 😂 they took your jobs 😂
Agree with some of the takes, but how is Brooklyn’s collapse KD’s fault! Harden injured, Kyrie injured, 2021, 2022 harden gone and injury plagued season, 2023 Kyrie suspended the forces trade!
Seems like you stretched a lot of these and obviously they exaggerate we all do. And not only that you didn’t show the clip where JJ told him you should’ve just dunked it. Also Jeff Teague is a comedy podcast
U nailed it. JJ is great with objective analysis sometimes, but then he goes into his mode of being an apologist for this era. Sometimes he acts like some of these guys' lawyer, lol. I know the difference, so I can still enjoy the non-bullshit parts.
one thing about Durant, is after the Nets, he went to yet another team who just lost in the finals, the phoenix suns. he's been on the tip top teams his whole career.
Wade is a 3 time nba champion…won a championship in his 3rd season. In a finals series that’s considered one of the greatest performances from a single player in the history of the league. James Harden still looking for his first chip and his second trip back to the finals after stinking up the joint 12 years ago😂😂😂
I'd rather listen to someone who hasn't ever played the game but knows a lot about it because players tend to be ultra biased towards players they played with or are friends with. Even though I know people are regardless they just seem to be worse
Current Players in the league need to focus on playing, we don't care about your opinion if youre not competing for a championship. Players should be in the gym improving if they're losing not becoming news anchors.
Does Tim Legler has his own podcast? Because from all the former NBA players he gives pretty good insight and points of view for the game in the current and past eras.
Nahh disagree with on your take on the nets KD yes he failed but I wouldn’t put that on him he did his part he was a toe away from a championship and his last season there they were the #1 seed before he got injured he was doing what he was supposed to do so I can’t criticize nets KD
@@trogdor8942 Not old enough to have seen West compete. But I did see Drexler compete,who I say is a more complete player than Harden. But of course, the younger fans are bias.
Social media should only be used for two things. Promote or bring awareness to a good cause, charity or to promote a new business. Other than that social media has done more harm than good!
9:22 It’s literally the rules of physics in relation to dribbling a basketball 🏀 being broken and iso against smaller players (physical disadvantage) or bigger players that can’t get head at belly button level sans a few solid matchups. Harden seemed to be a legitimate “player” in his OKC Days certainly but everything since seems like basketball for basketball’s sake. Post modern player are and island 🏝️ to themselves.
I think you are such a logical person which I admire so much. You have your opinions, but they tend to be at least related to the facts. So many people have opinions that they just use to mine for facts that support their opinions.
There’s a reason JJ is one of the most hated college players of all time. He also needs to learn about logical fallacies, primarily arguments from authority
Let's not forget about defense in the Wade vs Harden conversation... virtually nonexistent in Harden's case and Wade in his prime was a top perimeter defender and great shot blocker as a guard!
The problem is that these podcasts give an opportunity to mediocre players to talk. Then you realize that their game is not the only thing that's mediocre.
I would love for you to kind of step out of the medias takes and expose like RUclipsrs takes like there top 25 or something like that you can start with cashnastys his is horrible had Jordan at 3 and kyrie at 25 and bird out of his top 10
It is actually astounding KD's lack of success in playoffs if excluded his years with the Warriors, regardless of whether it's his fault or not. I think the reason for why people in the mainstream media are defending him so much because he's afraid to step up in a leadership role because KD knows when a team loses the leader is always going to take the blame and he doesn't want to take that responsibility because of that people are defending him so much because he's not a leader of his team.
Interesting that you posted this after Lebron and Reddick announced their podcast, I've never seen you complain about player podcast until Lebron does one. DICK RIDAAAAAAA
I' m still positive that JJ's interview ruined Ben Simmons' career for good lol. It was his chance, as a veteran player, and former teammate, to finaly be straight with him, and possibly try to humble him a bit. Instead, he defended him the whole way and portrayed him as a victim, while all others were haters, and Ben was all for it, of course. Today he averages 5 ppg.
Everything is so over saturated and it happens quickly. Now everyone and their momma got a podcast. Not even celebs/ athletes. People I know personally got podcasts. Whatever the next thing is everyone is going to jump right on it. No original ideas

KD's career is objectively good enough for top 15. Top 20 is the absolute furthest he should be. You could argue top 10, but 15-11 is where I'd say he's at.
LeBron is unquestionably the second greatest player to ever do it and arguably the greatest. Saying his career is outside of top 10, and Saying that he's the same as KD on paper (LeBron actually compares almost identically to *JORDAN* ) immediately invalidated anything else you had to say.
Go to your optometrist and requests new eyes because you must've somehow missed the last decade or you're too young to have been watching hoops earnestly back then.
Him and LeBron exactly the same... you gotta be like 13.
You just sound so damn salty in this video it’s hard to watch. JJ is obviously not gonna invite someone he’s friends with and has played with onto his podcast and roast the fuck out of him, this isn’t fucking 60 minutes or a presidential debate. It’s a podcast dude, he’s there to get other perspectives whether they are right or wrong that’s for us to decide. As for the Teague thing, yeah that’s an L take imo, but his podcast is still hella entertaining and he provides plenty of stories that are context to NBA players and teams.
JJ Redick brown noses so hard he's black facing.
Reddick does too much high-gravitas swearing. His self-seriousness is way over the top.
CRINGE CENTRAL!!
"I'm SO real"!!!
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Honestly, they’re just coping that all these modern superstars did some grimey stuff to get were theyre at. Lebron pretty much did what Shaq did and left every team for a better one, and KD did same. Young people don’t get gaslight by these takes. There is a reason why most of y’all only root for the players instead of the team. The media groomed you to do so. To follow a person who tattoos “Chosen 1” on himself, said he was the greatest player of all time after the fact he deferred the ball to Kyrie for the game winner and Kyrie scored more points during that finals. KD’s legacy is done. He is a bus rider with exceptional talent.
No Kd went to a 73-9 team a team that beat him. No one ever done that
Also jordan passed it several times especially that game 3 to kerr. You are just a Jordan fans looking for ways to put bron down
KD is at best a tier 2 player from his generation. I see some people trying to make a GOAT case for him now. It’s absolutely absurd. One of the greats, sure, but among THE greatest, no way.
JJ is a wine mom.
The problem is guys like JJ and Arenas, guys who never really accomplished anything in the NBA and would be forgotten years from now if not for podcasts are think their games would transfer better to todays game. They want to hype up this era to stay relevant and to make themselves feel better.
It’s evident these players weren’t there for their brains
So you who doesn’t have real insight of what it takes wants to tell people that the people who do know and have a better insight are killing yall numbers and it makes the channels and videos with deep dives in accurate 😂 they took your jobs 😂
Agree with some of the takes, but how is Brooklyn’s collapse KD’s fault! Harden injured, Kyrie injured, 2021, 2022 harden gone and injury plagued season, 2023 Kyrie suspended the forces trade!
I, for one, do appreciate greatness. TRUE greatness. And true greatness doesn't bounce from team to team while blaming everyone but themselves.
Seems like you stretched a lot of these and obviously they exaggerate we all do. And not only that you didn’t show the clip where JJ told him you should’ve just dunked it. Also Jeff Teague is a comedy podcast
JJ is pathetic, and he clearly has an agenda. All these player podcasts are trash. KD is a cry baby, and people don’t rate him, too bad JJ
This Era is so soft it makes it hard to root for them.
“Well look back 10-15 years and say how great he was?” Lol the were done with the “2010s” is about 10-15 years away lol
U nailed it. JJ is great with objective analysis sometimes, but then he goes into his mode of being an apologist for this era. Sometimes he acts like some of these guys' lawyer, lol. I know the difference, so I can still enjoy the non-bullshit parts.
Lebron competing against podcasters
one thing about Durant, is after the Nets, he went to yet another team who just lost in the finals, the phoenix suns. he's been on the tip top teams his whole career.
Wade is a 3 time nba champion…won a championship in his 3rd season. In a finals series that’s considered one of the greatest performances from a single player in the history of the league. James Harden still looking for his first chip and his second trip back to the finals after stinking up the joint 12 years ago😂😂😂
I'd rather listen to someone who hasn't ever played the game but knows a lot about it because players tend to be ultra biased towards players they played with or are friends with. Even though I know people are regardless they just seem to be worse
Dwade the best player to never win mvp.
Definitely one of them Forsure.
The worst player to raise children.
Most of the players podcast are all YES men
Current Players in the league need to focus on playing, we don't care about your opinion if youre not competing for a championship. Players should be in the gym improving if they're losing not becoming news anchors.
Kd is a walking bucket he's also a walking liability and one of the greatest scorers ever but this is a two way game plain and simple
Thank you
Anytime Uncut says “stop it right there” you know heavy knowledge is about to be dropped
Does Tim Legler has his own podcast? Because from all the former NBA players he gives pretty good insight and points of view for the game in the current and past eras.
Why did ESPN hire him for again?
Nahh disagree with on your take on the nets KD yes he failed but I wouldn’t put that on him he did his part he was a toe away from a championship and his last season there they were the #1 seed before he got injured he was doing what he was supposed to do so I can’t criticize nets KD
Or maybe jj reddick doenst just hate on everyone for narrative reasons
James harden being better than Dwade is not a bad take 😂😂
I agree but wade played better d. Harden clears him every other area
Idk Wade is a closer and winner, and a good defender. Harden is none of those thing. James is a better shooter though.
Hardens defense was also non-existent so he was and has never been as good as Dwade
I think what I hate most about reddicks podcast is the wine
it's hard to be objective when you're a tree in the forrest
What other shooting guards do you think are better than Harden? Jerry West and Drexler?
O, so true. But not many people are old enough to remember them.
@@ktapreswreckd921v9 idk if I think they're better than Harden, but I can see the argument.
@@trogdor8942 Not old enough to have seen West compete. But I did see Drexler compete,who I say is a more complete player than Harden. But of course, the younger fans are bias.
@@ktapreswreckd921v9 he's certainly better at defense
Drexler, West, ray Allen, gervin, kobe and Iverson
Always enjoy your videos. You need to get together with AOH and do a show. I am looking forward to your other videos exposing these guys.
Social media should only be used for two things. Promote or bring awareness to a good cause, charity or to promote a new business. Other than that social media has done more harm than good!
What is the name of the background music?
I'm tired of these podcasts
JJ still believes Ben Simmons down fall isn’t self inflicted.
What would Harden's all-time SG ranking be if he wasn't allowed to travel, flop, or foulbait?
“it’s true the market has become saturated “ Ron Burgundy
9:22 It’s literally the rules of physics in relation to dribbling a basketball 🏀 being broken and iso against smaller players (physical disadvantage) or bigger players that can’t get head at belly button level sans a few solid matchups.
Harden seemed to be a legitimate “player” in his OKC Days certainly but everything since seems like basketball for basketball’s sake.
Post modern player are and island 🏝️ to themselves.
These guys are so soft they need us to love and appreciate them when they’ve done nothing to deserve it.
They want us to worship them simply for existing 😆
I stopped watching NBA players podcasts because I quickly figured out what was going on.
The man who called old school players plumbers
I think you are such a logical person which I admire so much. You have your opinions, but they tend to be at least related to the facts. So many people have opinions that they just use to mine for facts that support their opinions.
There’s a reason JJ is one of the most hated college players of all time. He also needs to learn about logical fallacies, primarily arguments from authority
Let's not forget about defense in the Wade vs Harden conversation... virtually nonexistent in Harden's case and Wade in his prime was a top perimeter defender and great shot blocker as a guard!
The problem is that these podcasts give an opportunity to mediocre players to talk. Then you realize that their game is not the only thing that's mediocre.
I see no solid argument for Harden being better than West on the best SGs list other than era bias.
9:50 bro missed arguably the worst of em all...Arenas' podcast 🤣
Yeah that podcast needs to go straight down the 🚽
They don't even TMac that much respect. Nobody is gonna be checking for KD in 15yrs
I would love for you to kind of step out of the medias takes and expose like RUclipsrs takes like there top 25 or something like that you can start with cashnastys his is horrible had Jordan at 3 and kyrie at 25 and bird out of his top 10
This was the issue with Barkley in the beginning. It usually gets better once their generation of players leave the game.
It is actually astounding KD's lack of success in playoffs if excluded his years with the Warriors, regardless of whether it's his fault or not. I think the reason for why people in the mainstream media are defending him so much because he's afraid to step up in a leadership role because KD knows when a team loses the leader is always going to take the blame and he doesn't want to take that responsibility because of that people are defending him so much because he's not a leader of his team.
Interesting that you posted this after Lebron and Reddick announced their podcast, I've never seen you complain about player podcast until Lebron does one. DICK RIDAAAAAAA
If Redick is by far the best, I don't need to watch any.
I' m still positive that JJ's interview ruined Ben Simmons' career for good lol.
It was his chance, as a veteran player, and former teammate, to finaly be straight with him, and possibly try to humble him a bit.
Instead, he defended him the whole way and portrayed him as a victim, while all others were haters, and Ben was all for it, of course.
Today he averages 5 ppg.
Everything is so over saturated and it happens quickly. Now everyone and their momma got a podcast. Not even celebs/ athletes. People I know personally got podcasts. Whatever the next thing is everyone is going to jump right on it. No original ideas
This dude is a D1 hater 😂
Tim Legler's All Nba podcast is enoyable. No hot takes - just really good objective analysis.
Most pro athletes rub elbows with each other, no different from celebrities. I don’t expect them to be real with each other in public.
They have horrible takes just like some fans podcast
