Shoutout KP for opening up. Also, the live premiere chat was a trip lol. Thanks for watching and please subscribe to our channel if you haven't already.
Hi, greetings from another Latvian basketball fan. This is the first podcast from you I've been watching. I find it very professional and interesting. Subscribed now and looking for more in future! Respect and thanks for great job you've done!
@@nikkrelj471I mean he basically said it. It was ego or as JJ referred to "pissing contest". Luka also getting preferential treatment as the example about "crying" showed. They were both young guns and Porsingis told he has to go to the corner. They were still figuring out who the big dog was and it caused a riff.
@@luisgonzalez-bf7qwYea bt KP didnt know that at the time. They both were young KP was coming back from injury and wasnt quite sure what he was capable of. It happens
@@Fent- I was born a Celtics fan, but moved to Orlando, FL when I was 11 years old. I ended up being a fan of both for some time. I'm mostly a Celtics fan, and moving back to Massachusetts may have had some influence there, but I still have some hope for that Magic franchise. Unless they're playing the Celtics lol
Funny, back during that draft I said that the Celtics should trade up to take Tyrese Haliburton. Thought he had a ton of potential to not just be a great offensive guard, but also a solid defender in Boston's system at the time, while also fitting neatly into the timeline of the Jays and Robert Williams (this was when we were still hoping Timelord could have a healthy season).
yes, I agree. This would be another great option for KP and great chance for GSW to rebuild the dynasty. As well as I would like to see KP in one team with D.Booker. But it seems that chemistry in Boston is almost perfect to fight for the Banner. So let's keep fingers crossed and wishing good luck to Celtics!
Learned a new word today: Matriculation is the formal process of entering a university, or of becoming eligible to enter by fulfilling certain academic requirements such as a matriculation examination.
Very obvious Rick and Luka is the problem the Luka system is even nerfing kyrie right now .. and jj pointed out bad coaching but tried to laugh it off .. portz got better as a player but coach is wack and I remember him nerfing Brunson and not using him .. they literally had a big 3 but Rick and Luka system .. you even have kyrie staying in corner now with luka ..
It's Luka's team so whoever get there has to accept a second role. But yeah it sucks feeling second to a younger more talented guy. even more Lukahas cooked his national team before lmao
@@YetiCoolBrother100% Gill And JJ’s are the best out as far as basketball. I give JJ the slight edge because he goes in depth with everything and you learn so much. Plus Gil has to somehow get rid of McCants, lol!
You're right, this is one of the better basketball podcasts for me too, I like that he has a good critical mind and can evaluate other players in an honest and realistic way. In a fun and pleasant way, he tries to get an answer from the player about some high-profile event that happened on the field or off it, and never in a way that would object to the guest and put him in an uncomfortable position, as well as not those that are being discussed.
KP has been a revelation for the Celtics. The biggest thing has been his 2-man game with JB, and has helped him be a better playmaker. Of course, there’s the elite rim protection and great shooting and post play. Hopefully this is the year for the Celtics and Banner 18
I love what this team has been doing and they’ve already played some beautiful basketball, but I just know that there’s another level of ridiculous playmaking they can unlock and KP is a huge part of that. We’ve all seen it… it’s just a matter of consistency and connectivity
KP is the man, dude always has fun on the court. Joking around and laughing, dunking on people and blocking people lol. I love having him in Boston and I wish he could’ve played vs Pacers. We look like the best team on earth when he’s on the floor!
Great episode. Would love to see Jaylen Brown on the podcast. Based on his interviews, he has a lot of insight into lots of different topics, with basketball and outside of it
Crazy how I predicted KP coming to Boston. Last season we played the Wizards and he absolutely torched us with his mid range. They won that game and I kept telling myself “man KP would be perfect for Boston! I think they’re going to get him!”. Some months later, we sign KP!! I just hope Mazzulla uses him the right way during the playoffs. He needs to shoot more mid range shots and I think he needs to learn a hook shot. It’s automatic when you’re that tall and very hard to stop. Just like Jokic does! It really bothers me because I’m 6ft but I play like a big man. The hook shot is so easy for me to hit so I get so mad when y’all players don’t even try it lol.
As a Wizards fan i was so happy when KP was playing for us. the first time in my lifetime (born in ‘00) that one of my favorite players was playing for my favorite team. I really appreciate how he seemingly values his time in Washington, the way he describes the time here sounds like he values it as a time that allowed him to grow as a player, and we are a horrible team so im really happy he found a way to see his time with our team in a positive way, because nothing around him gave him a reason to
Na, KP could say a lot more about those situations if he wanted to, but I think he's holding back since he's an active player and doesn't want his comments to affect his future (say the Knicks or Mavs want him back later). Dude just wants to win. Once he's retired or closer to retirement, I think he's gonna be more open and detailed about the stuff that went on during his Knicks and Mavs stints.
I like the chemistry on the court so far between KP and JB. Both seem to know where the other is at, a lot of good backdoor cuts and lobs. Looking forward to seeing that grow throughout the season. Stay healthy KP!
He knew what he had in NYC. The love was real, the divorce was ugly. The only way back to good graces in The City was him walking a humble path, admitting things went bad on his side (and Knicks). I swore I’d never forgive, but here I am walking it back. He’s matured immensely and I’m happy for him. Keep balling KP! (damn I can’t believe I typed that)
Y’all weren’t putting nothing around Him and then expect him to just carry that franchise that was just looking to capitalize on the marketability. So hell yea he wanted out. I’m glad when he Came back the first game as a Celtic (funny in itself) and y’all were scree F Porzingis he basically Iced the game on y’all. Y’all struck gold with Brunson only because his dad works there.
@@GurtonBuster07 it looks ridiculous now lmao but at the time D Rose was balling in the playoffs against the Cavs and Noah was a DPOY not that long ago. They f'd up massively in hindsight (even though Noah was still an overpay at the time) but they did try to surround KP with talent. Then later on they had that high pick that would become RJ and they hoped for some big name in FA to play with KP but it was already too late.
Surprised he didnt mention the presence of his older brother when they talk about New York stuff. His brother was a professional player in Europe before KP got to the NBA. They lived together in New York for some time. When he says "I just didnt care", it was 100% the calming presence of his older brother, the advice and so on. Its impossible otherwise to deal with that stuff alone and not go crazy from spotlight when you are that young.
I loved this line of questioning, I feel like he held back a lot on his answers. I understand though, no need stirring the pot or saying something negative, when it’s all in the past. I feel like the Knicks did him wrong, I am lifetime Knicks fan, and I wish it would’ve worked out with him. Could’ve built around his skillset.
Kp is ballin in Boston! He looks like he did in NY! A true unicorn!!! Hope he can stay healthy because he’s a perfect fit there and think they will win the championship.
KP is an absolute great addition to Celtics. Seems like a perfect fit. Hope he can at least stay relatively healthy, especially to see him in playoffs. Seems like a cool chill guy aswell.
Man, i think JJ Redick is one of the smartest guys that I've ever heard specifically how he analyzes the game of basketball and i really appreciate that. ❤
Comig from a nyer this guy was awesome coming into the league, shout out jj also this podcast is so great just pure ball knowledge no hype/pretentiousness appreciate it jj
What could have been with him! The hype of the unicorn was intense. Was supposed to be him and melo as an unstoppable floor spacing wing/big! Didn’t work out how we wanted +injuries. Def sad:/
KP's description of growing up with the darkness and weather during winter in Latvia sounds a whole like lot like New England. He should feel right at home in Boston. 😆
Why do people keep saying that made up story , we know damn well the meeting was all about horford accepting his role off the bench , no way you’re playing a 6ppg guy over kp 😂
From games I watched, the Mavs offense was very poorly designed for Pingus to thrive. There was a lot of standing around on the perimeter with lack of ball movement or movement without the ball. Luca was very ball dominate and would often iso deep into the shot clock. Pingus was a bit of a bail out option. When young Luka didnt find a shot he's often pass to KP with like 2 seconds on the shot clock. I can see it being fruatrating standing wide open for 20 seconds then finally getting the ball and being forced to shoot before a shot clock violation. Obviously this wasnt most plays, but it was too many. They also didnt trust KP to post up or on the pick and roll often. I don't know how much was KPs fault and how much the coach or Luka. Perimeter big men seem to have trouble thriving in Dallas for whatever reason. They are better off with defensive minded, close to the basket scorers. Someone who will play physical and be content getting 3 shots somenights and 12 other nights. Luka is a special sort of player that I think would be at his best with a team of highly skilled supporting cast. He doesn't need another superstar being ball dominate, he is the offense whether through his scoring or playmaking ability. Their second highest paid player should either be an elite defensive bigman or an elite defensive wing who can drive and finish well. I could be totally wrong though, who knows with the Mavs. Kyrie is great but I just feel like the defensive fit with him and Luka on the floor isnt great. Kyrie thrives being ball dominate and really getting into the flow of his game with the ball in his hands. Maybe they'll work things out in Dallas but they don't seem like a contender to me at all right now.
Outside of the injury Porzingis has been the gift that has kept giving. I hear he'll back soon because him vs Wemby later this month is the matchup I'm most hyped for this year
On the Unicorn topic, I remember the first time I saw Kristaps play in the NBA. I thought Kevin Durant was it in terms of what a basketball player could be but KP really did look like he was a mythical creature being that tall and that athletic.
The NBA better watch out. He's had a rough 3 point shooting season so far but in the last 10 games or so he's been finding his stroke. We just have an embarrassment of riches, I worry guys are going to have trouble staying in rhythm but I remember D White couldn't hit a 3 to save his life during his first half season here. Maybe it takes a little while to adjust to doing more stuff
Lets go Boston media mafia, we strong with this one! By the end of the season, JJ probably interviewed the whole Celtics roster and Bill Simmons dad LMFAO 😂😂😂

Shoutout from from Latvia, great podcast, been listening for a while now. You've got a new subscriber from far away smalll country of Latvia. Cheers.
@@adidzisI hate Boston with a passion since I’m a lakers fan, but Ive been rooting for KP ever since he got booed on draft night by those knicks fans
The smile when he was answering the Luka question says it all 🤣
It would be actually nice to know what went on. Because thr answers he gave were very generic
@@nikkrelj471both were immature, Luka still seems immature actually
@@nikkrelj471I mean he basically said it. It was ego or as JJ referred to "pissing contest". Luka also getting preferential treatment as the example about "crying" showed. They were both young guns and Porsingis told he has to go to the corner. They were still figuring out who the big dog was and it caused a riff.
@@Shortballa11the mavs messed it up with the preferential treatment but I mean luka was and still is better than KP
@@luisgonzalez-bf7qwYea bt KP didnt know that at the time. They both were young KP was coming back from injury and wasnt quite sure what he was capable of. It happens
I remember KP rocking MSG & the fans going absolutely crazy, those were some great times & I’ve been a fan of his ever since.
Here after KP had 20 and 6 in finals game 1 (posted on 6/7/24)
he came to Boston to win on the biggest stage and both sides are delivering so far
JJ was meant for this. Been one of my favs since he started!
He's legit. He's not an actor/hype man like Skip and Stephen A.
I'm so hyped for this as a cetlics and mavs fan
Niggas be fans of two teams 😭😭😭
@@Fent-yes Chad, you can like two teams

@@Fent- you probably like men, and that's okay. Just be a lil more confident in yourself bozo
KP is lucky playing in GARDEN for Knicks and now in TD GARDEN playing for Boston, must be awesome to play for these two teams.
This interview made me cheer for him. Happy that he's got a ring now
Boston and Dallas sounds like a crazy finales!
That’d be fun. Esp w G williams wilin
JJ thx for bringing Kristaps great pod!Greetings from Europe
My favorite sports podcast hands down. I would love to meet JJ out here in Brooklyn one day!
JJ is having so much fun doing podcasts😊 its just a joy to listen. And he is talking real basketball not some espn bs.
KP is the mvp of this league this season
Saving this to watch later when I get home from work with a spliff.
Shoutout Tingus Pingus
Excellent pod, as usual. I ❤tingus pingus! LFG ☘!!!

Warriors got 68 games out of Otto Porter Jr. Kristaps should have gone to Golden State

also I think there will be a book by him where he can reveal this eventually, if he tells it all now, then what secrets will he reveal in the book ?
I can tell you there will be one, because, he's almost a national treasure, all you have to do is learn latvian 😂
I like the chemistry on the court so far between KP and JB. Both seem to know where the other is at, a lot of good backdoor cuts and lobs. Looking forward to seeing that grow throughout the season. Stay healthy KP!
Getting KP is the best thing this season for my Celtics. 💯☘️
Lets go LAKERS 💛💜💛💜
Jrue Holiday too
KP is him. You can tell in the games he’s been out the Celtics are the same team who can’t get over the hump. With him, they are unstoppable.
He knew what he had in NYC. The love was real, the divorce was ugly. The only way back to good graces in The City was him walking a humble path, admitting things went bad on his side (and Knicks). I swore I’d never forgive, but here I am walking it back. He’s matured immensely and I’m happy for him. Keep balling KP! (damn I can’t believe I typed that)

@@Codyduncan3333LMFAOOOOOOOOOO mf said d rose Courtney lee and Noah 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭 knicks fans mane you can’t be serious

Then later on they had that high pick that would become RJ and they hoped for some big name in FA to play with KP but it was already too late.
@@Djordjeviccrose was shot kid, so was Noah. You gonna have Noah shoot free throws. He was done as well.
I so wanted him to work out in Dallas. He was injured and couldn't get back to his old form. Carlisle was the exact wrong coach for him and Luka too.
People see a guard and a big and automatically think they will fit. Sticking KP in the corner is complete malpractice.
Think the blame should go more on Rick Carlisle than these two
Surprised he didnt mention the presence of his older brother when they talk about New York stuff. His brother was a professional player in Europe before KP got to the NBA.

His family plays a huge factor to what type of player he is now.
Was KP’s English always this good? I haven’t listened to an interview of his probably since he was a rookie, so I don’t remember.
I love when they throw him a question in Spanish. Still waiting for a Latvian reporter to rock up.

I think the Mavericks are one piece away from being a contender.

I wish he was still a Knick, this was an awesome interview
The way they look around perfectly in sync when the lights dim is hilarious 😭
Luka is hard to play with. Holds the ball ALOT.
Say you don’t watch the Mavs without saying it.
7:13 interview starts
The NBA better watch out. He's had a rough 3 point shooting season so far but in the last 10 games or so he's been finding his stroke. We just have an embarrassment of riches, I worry guys are going to have trouble staying in rhythm but I remember D White couldn't hit a 3 to save his life during his first half season here. Maybe it takes a little while to adjust to doing more stuff
The NBA is not worried about that.Bean pole overrated broken down stiff
Cant wait for KP to be back in service. He adds so much to the team. Amazing fit and a long overdue ideal situation for him.

As a Baltic Bro and a Mavs fan, I'm really happy KP got his groove back. He deserves it.
Love watching KP play, can’t wait for the future buddy road-trip comedy starring Jaylen Brian and Tingus-Pingus
Interesting, great guy
I hope JJ never betray us and go do Spotify only podcast like so many other podcasters.
