Full episode drops tomorrow morning. Thanks for watching and drop us a sub if you haven't already.
Thanks man. Thats our Weekend treat =)
Great question JJ! Can’t wait for this one to drop🔥 Hope CP gets a ring! Nd a finals mvp!
Thank you well be waiting
Pin this JJ so it can stay at the top of your comment section, don’t heart it tho like other youtubers hahahaha
🙌
JJ is a great interviewer and analyst. Dude literally asks the best question
I agree... New media content is way better than old media political bs!
‼️‼️‼️
CP3 is a bxtch this old fart isn't even top 5 all time pg
I hate how much I love this duke alum.
Cuz he keeps it real, and hates all the “tv analyst” like we do lol
I remember tip-off for one of the games Chris tried to instinctively take off his warm ups and he couldn’t lift his arm above his shoulders to take off his shirt. A teammate noticed him and literally took it off for him. It was so quick and the cameras barely caught it before they transitioned to something else, but you could just tell. It’s amazing he was able to do what he did during that series.
You're right I remember thinking there's no way he helps the suns and he still did.
I remember he was having the hardest time drivbling
Yea im starting to believe CP3 is the actual GOAT.. everybody’s talking about Bron and MJ but neither of then could do what he did
@@Drogas3653 w
@@Drogas3653 idk cp3 a demon but jordan aint soft n bitchy like lebron regardless of the era but cp3 tough as nails for that i cant really say mike could do that but maybe he could who knows
Chris Paul is actually so funny im dying 😭
Rest in peace in advance bro
Meh
Man he one of the funniest nba players😂i won’t forget Steve Kerr told him a joke during a game and he faked laughed so hard then went to a straight face
How tf do the Suns get overlooked for their playoff run last year? Book had a broken nose and paul went through the whole covid protocol and the shoulder injury? That's wild.
and wrist injury
Bc it's Phoenix & no one cares about small market teams. It's not the Lakers or nets so the media & fans don't hype them up. Cp3 played for the Lakers they'd talk about everything about him
Bc they aren’t watching the games lol. It’s obvious. You can think a team isn’t the best but to watch us and say we aren’t contenders is just dumb lol
@@marshae8089 suns are a mid market team
@@westville1916 well they're not the Lakers, warriors, or nets. Media fans which is the point I'm trying to make.
CP3 loves basketball, he literally watches 4 or 5 games at a time when he's not playing. Insane basketball IQ and love for the game
Him and LeBron the same foreal. Love it
Yup him and LeBron have like every game on at once on and are 2 of the smartest players ever! Arguably the 2 smartest period in terms of studying film, calling out plays, QBs on the floor on both ends!
Him winning a chip would be a great make up for AI not winning a chip,long overdue
yeah just wish he wasn’t so dirty
@@superdopehiphop what makes someone QB on offense/defense and how can I be a QB?
JJ is a phenomenal interviewer. Great questions, within the flow of the conversation.
But people say the Suns only won because they faced injured teams when CP3 literally couldn’t physically shoot in round one.
He got Covid later on too, luckily they had swept Denver so he only missed a few games in the clippers series.
And was out for the first two games against the clippers with Covid.
Rewatch the games with ad in them and you will know why people say they only won because of injuries, that and kawhi being out of the clippers
Did he average ZERO POINTS or NOT?
@@Warrandpeace
I believe the point they're trying to make is that the Suns werent injury free. A lot of fans and media make it seem as if the Suns just walked to the Finals with a perfect roster, which wasn't the case. But I do agree with you, if AD didn't get injured and if LeBron wasn't hurt as well; the Lakers possibly would've won. But none of that happened so there no need to dwell on it.
i started dying when Chris said “they had to put me under” 🤣🤣🤣
Man I loved it just because I related to him so much. And it just seemed so genuine and real
Sadly that series was just full of injures overall for both teams
Yeah unfortunately Dennis Schroeder was mentally injured
@@RealMikeMiller13 I thought LeBron James was the best player in the world. I thought LeBron James makes all his teammates better. So then tell me why the F do you guys keep blaming everyone else on that team rather than LeBron for not getting the job done when he's the best player in the world
@@kordell9864 because lebron was injured himself also in year 18. You casuals really need to watch the game more closely
@@kordell9864 he is & he does. He cant make his teammates better if they injured. Dumbass
@@kordell9864 because he's the media darling, when things go well it's cause lebron but when things go wrong even with a super star team every single year it can't be his fault lmao
Not even a Suns fan, but I truly believe the Suns will win it all. They literally check every box for what a championship team looks like
They have a good chance. I'd love for them to win it all. Let's see what happens.
As a Suns fan I hope so, been waiting for 40 years.

Man you never get to really appreciate what kind of trauma these men put their bodies through until you truly hear it from their mouths. Thank you JJ for doing this and being so upfront and real with your questions to these players.
Most anticipated interview for sure
I love CP AND JJ since lob city. Love the energy and comfort in this conversation
Can't wait to watch the full interview tomorrow!
We NEED the full interview JJ
Tomorrow morning
This is the shot he was talking about ruclips.net/user/shortsoyUY8unmeBw?feature=share
JJ, Chris, thank you for sharing and being real ❤️
Can’t wait to hear the rest tomorrow!
Can't wait for the whole interview
Bruh it's Chris Paul. I'm guarding him even if he has literally one arm
And you would lose to him with his one arm, 😔
Come and take a look. We are dropping clips right now, before the full show comes out
Chris is a very insightful and intriguing man to listen to during the interviews, ngl
This content is GOLD. When does the full interview drop?
Tmrw
Not a Suns fan but a CP3 fan since New Orleans hopefully this is the year he gets his ring. I'm going to rewatch the Lakers - Suns series after this.
JJ's content feels like it shouldn't be free
Shush!
Bro shut up!!!
Don’t give him any ideas!
Canadians willing to pay for air .. smh it's disgusting. I'm canadian im know
Makes so much sense. I remember watching that series and being so confused why he wasn’t shooting good looks
Great series as a suns fan. scary with the cp3 injury as he had so many past injuries in the playoffs but dbook was a straight killer against the lakers and he had to be when Chris was slinging the ball toward the basket when he was shooting
As a Lakers fan I just wish both teams could’ve been fully healthy. Now that would’ve been a good series! I’m not ignorant enough to claim we would have won if we were healthy - we’ll never know. But safe to say games 4-6 would have at least not been blowouts and would have been more competitive.
@@davidrowe762 fair play, lakers got robbed with that trade for russ. russ is a good player in a bad fit. lakers gave up many good role players to get russ. his best fit ironically wasn't even in okc. that team in Houston was built for russ. everyone could shoot and russ could slash and dish to everyone except capella. even at 36 I never understood why some suns fans wanted to trade for russ instead of cp3. if the lakers got cp3 instead they would have another ring with the iq of bron and Chris on the same team with AD being at a scary good level
Gift for shooting and interviewing, not a lot of people can talk to these NBA superstars on this level. Such an amazing job JJ.
This comparison isn’t exactly 1 to 1 but I have a feeling that this Suns team could pull a 2014 Spurs playoff run. They took the heartbreak of losing in the finals last year and just seem different this year. Not exactly like kawhi but of everyone, Mikal bridges is gonna step up big time and challenge for finals mvp. Hoping for the best for this team.
Mills Bridges for Finals MVP is a little bold but I like the comparison.
@@markfreiler4937 He can definitely be the wow factor. Same with Kawhi with the Spurs.
Except the Spurs legit have legends that could still play elite at their post prime level. Manu in his mid 30s was still one of the best when he can turn it up. TP9 running loops when he still had that burst could attack the rim with amazing efficiency. Duncan even at 50% of his prime was still a great two way big man with clutch factor. The Heatles in 2014 couldn't answer those 3 in the Finals along with Kawhi and the rest playing their roles and that ball movement. The Suns have CP3 but they don't have others at that caliber and capacity. Hell they don't have a straight up answer to Giannis. Don't tell me its Ayton because he ain't stopping Giannis from getting any bucket the way he wants to.
@@t4d0W book?
If they face Giannis again they're in trouble
I never like CP3’s game but damn,, that’s some grit in this man and I respect that greatness.
how do u not like he’s game wtf
@@niggilywiggily nobody likes that rip through foul bs he be on
@@pericopinero1035 Super weak reason not to like him. Real hoopers know not to be mad at the player who does it, but the inexperienced/overly aggressive defender guarding him. Anyhow, that's such an incredibly small part of his game. He's one of the most surgical players of all time. Very fun to watch.
@@niggilywiggily I don’t know how anyone can’t like his game. 😂😂😂
Who are you ? Do you understand basketball ? Was this comment a mistake ?
JJ and Chris reunited, such a nice sight 🙏🏾
Looking forward to the whole interview 👀
Great interviews JJ. Love your channel.
That MRI was the realist part , I made the mistake of opening my eyes when I was in there, they couldn’t get me out bih fast enough 🤣🤣
Chris looked like a kid learning how to dribble out there. This is crazy
I’m gonna have to rewatch that series because I honestly didn’t notice.
Everyone knew he was hurt back then . How could you not notice
We all were saying so. As suns fans but the Lakers whining blocked out all the noise. They were injured but clearly so was Chris Paul.
He looked broken. It was sad to watch but we knew he wouldn’t just sit out in the playoffs.
I noticed when one of the best ball handlers and decision makers of all time in cp3 was losing the ball repeatedly just by coming up court
I was at the second game in the series, one that the Lakers won. Would’ve never known. Crazy.
Best interview I've heard from the show
“You beat the Lakers with one arm” that’s colddddd
I could honestly listen to CP all day. He has so much history and knowledge of the game. He’s probably one of the smartest players in the league or even ever.
With 0 rings?
@@Tom-jd4rv these days that doesn’t mean sh*t anymore! Yes, it definitely is the #1 goal and a huge accomplishment but I can think of over 10 hall of famers that don’t have rings but are still top players of all time including CP! It takes a whole a team to win a championship not just one guy unfortunately. If that was the case CP would have many.
@@Tom-jd4rv yuh he’s a 6ft guard don’t mean he’s not one of smartest players of the game we’ve ever seen
I'm ready for the full episode jj
Jj, a great interviewr, analyst and shooter!
Only games LA won were when CP3 played like booty on a stick. He was a liability for 3 games and phoenix still won the series
Dude AD got hurt, and LeBron wasnt fully healthy. But if AD didnt get hurt, we could have won.
@@caliba100 Lebron was completely fine. Suns won all the games when both teams were healthy. Lakers only won 2 and that was when chris paul was injured
@@caliba100 if chirs paul doesn't get hurt it's a sweep.
LA had about 5 good quarters in that whole series, all of them when CP3 could barely move half his body
@@Isoquant chris Paul had a better team with more spacing the lakers last year weren’t really a good team fit wise .. Lebron was 36 asked to distribute the ball, score the ball, defend rebound etc in ads absence
I love JJ’s interviews. They talk real basketball and not TV DRAMA
Always love cp on the podcast!
This was a great piece
would love to see you guys get steven adams back on the pod to talk about ja, the young core of the grizzlies, and their success this year. loved hearing from CP3 as always 👍
ruclips.net/video/DQoFvPpDQPs/видео.html
Dude I was wondering if he was having trouble but I didn't think he couldn't shoot at all! Unreal perspective JJ!
i appreciate these jj n chris
This is a beautiful interview
It was obvious CP3 was badly injured. Hence the whole “Lakers were dominating before LBJ and AD got injured…” is selective memory…
It’s true. Many injured teams have to go through a host of healthy teams to make the finals. Suns won when their opponents were just as much if not more riddled with injuries.
I WANT CP TO GET A RING SO DAMN BAD, one of if not the smartest guard on the court
Most consistent PG I’ve witnessed [obviously besides injuries] in my life time. He’s gotten even better with time. Even as a slower version of himself. He perfected his craft.
This interview is awesome
I bruised my funny bone and it was the same thing it doesnt hurt, you just cant use your arm correctly... knew something was up in the playoffs
What a story by CP3, could listen to him all day
Can’t wait for the full video, could listen to CP3 talk all day.
Not watching and waiting for the full interview. Have a feeling it’s gonna be one of the best yet
I kinda feel bad for CP3,the only reason he lost last season was because a freak became the Greek basketball God
So you mean to say - a Greek became a freak basketball god
That's part of it, but CP was also beat up in that series with torn ligaments in his shooting hand. It was a rough postseason for him.
Don't forget Holidays defense, and Middleton with some clutch baskets. Ayton couldn't rock with Gianniss on his best day.
@@trevorburton3290 Ayton is 23 lol you act like they are on the same level. He can only get better.
that and they didnt have a back up center vs the biggest team in the league
6:53 THANK YOU JJ IVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR MONTHS
So much respect for CP - this dude is awesome
JJ you should try to find the clips of old plays they are discussing when your editing it. Would be cool if a little box with the clip popped up
"I'm ready to be lucky!" perfect!
I remember that shot he's talking about in game 1 🤯
I need more CP3 with Bugs he's so open and shares everything
At 6:35 he was really thinking, “damn, so this is how Russ feels?”
He was still getting buckets despite the injury. I remember being mad that he made all those shots despite his injury 😂 he was amazing that series
I’m not a Suns fan but I’d love to see Suns take it all this year just for CP.
Great interview. CP3 thinks about the game so deeply.
ruclips.net/video/DQoFvPpDQPs/видео.html
Another great interview phenomenal interviewer Jj. In my opinion if Nets are complete in that playoffs it will be another story for the bucks and Suns. At these moment Kd injured again. Harden might be traded to Phily. Suns are the most complete team ths season. Rooting for Cp3.
I tried to tell Laker fans that and they kept crying about AD. And kept saying Suns got lucky. CP3 played with one arm and couldn’t even shoot but whatever Suns in 6
Amazing, is there even anyone in the league that JJ doesn’t have a great relationship with?
The pels front office lol
Zion
I don’t even play basketball like that but I love hearing these interviews
they had to put him under 😂😂😂😂
Never knew that about his story with not able to do anything with his shoulder during the lakers series. Hopefully CP can win a chip this year.
Damn…. But his shoulder was f*cked up
JJ asked one question and Chris talked like fifteen minutes talking bout JJ bringing back memories lol
We here❗🔥
He got his skills stolen by the monstars lol
💀
That’s why those Laker fans claiming “If AD stays healthy…” are delusional. If CP3 stays healthy that series is over in 5
Correct. Lakers would've only won g3. Phoenix barely lost g2 with cp3 hurt
CP had a shift in his mindset, he’s become a hell of a leader all around. Hope he gets his well deserved ring
JJ, you really run your show very impressive.
Watching that game, I was screaming why they had him in. The defense was double or triple teaming booker. And cp kept turning the ball over
Cp3 having to get put to sleep to do an mri has finished me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So many phenomenal players are dismissed and forgotten - but if not for injuries they were unstoppable. Some players I saw that were unguardable prior to injuries: Stephon Marberry, Steve Francis, Kevin Johnson, Penny, Amare Stoudemire, TMac, Grant Hill. But this is also why the endurance of Jordan, Stockton, Lebron etc etc stands out, you know? Those guys played at the highest level and their bodies endure. Pretty remarkable.
I just love listening to CP3 talk.
i went and looked back at his stats and they were fine, good job by him. and CP3 had to play to not give lakers any confidence.
If you had watched the games you would see why Monty wanted to bench him. Twice he scored less than 10. Lotta turnovers. Eventually the lakers did play off him, led to spacing issues. He finished strong, but just didn't look like himself after the injury. Also Payne was on something of a hot streak most of the playoffs.

I still think suns will win the west because they are a complete team,but I’m a little concerned without much changes in the roster,can they beat the bucks when they meet again?(I assume bucks will win the east again),I know CP is basketball genius,but last year already show it’s not enough to be smart you need to have that physicality to match someone like Giannis,not like CP3 don’t know how to defend Giannis,the question is if they can do that with their roster?I love the suns because their game just a pleasure to watch,so organized and the spacing is so good,just beautiful.But I’m not sure if you can win 4 straight series with that.Sometimes the championships not always play the prettiest game but they usually have the most diversities in their roster they can give different looks defensively based on their opponents not every great team have luxury to do so,but win the championship mean you need to beat four great teams with different offensive styles I think the key is not offensive diversity especially for suns they already have two of the best closer in the game,how you can ask more from that?But two of the best closers means you have relatively two weaker defenders,we all knew defensive need to do collectively and that based on maybe not lockdown but solid individual defense don’t get me wrong CP and Book are OK definitely,but CP get older and his size already a weakness Book is SG size,not a wing defender,I know you can always put bridges on opposing teams best perimeter player and he is really good on that but that make CP or Book have to guard SF on opposing team s,that really hard to do because of their natural size disadvantages.I know there are just a handful teams that can expose that on that position but in playoffs at one time you have to meet those teams.With all say and done maybe I’m wrong because at the end of the days we all have winning bias we all look at the winning team’s strength as championship characters and look at the losing teams weaknesses and say that why they were losing,It’s so interesting how narrative could change when you are winning.But I still think there are still some kind of championship characters in the world that what makes basketball game interesting because we can use all the knowledge to build a “most likely to win the title” team.Not a assurance,but we can maximize the possibility by putting pieces that complementary each other.Normally you don’t lose because one single player not doing enough,I think take KD for example I don’t not that much between his years in OKC verses in GSW in terms of isolation abilities.The point is in GSW,he can really be “isolation “ cause he had KT and Curry.
Book's defense has been really good this year, not sure what you have been watching. Plus they added McGee and Biyombo to bring size down low alongside Ayton. This is the most well rounded team in the league atm. They can both score and defend from everywhere. And elite ball movement and team chemistry. Definitely the favorites imo, barring injuries of course.
@@wavestation999 I'm sure good is enough,sometimes size just not there and it matter.
All I could pay attention to in this interview and the Draymond one is the damn microphone soft cover is slightly off. It’s been hanging off for a min now. All I can see I swear 😂
Wow !!! Respect ✊🏿
I was just thinking that we need somebody like cp3 or lebron in there, great catch! Please get lebron too, would be amazing I think!
I be feeling bad for the other dude w JJ it seems like he just sits there and when he does say something all these NBA players don’t even acknowledge what he said/his presence 😂
I get what you mean but that tends to happen in real life too. We gravitate towards the person we know the most.
I think I remember that shot.. dead flat, I did wonder whilst watching it if he meant to do it..
