Appreciate KP keeping it real on this one. Full ep here: https://youtu.be/zq9PXclzFjc?si=QuGCtj9z6vESaAZC
Carslile was crazy, to put KP in the corner??. Stupid. KP is a weapon.😊
Coach Rick Play and health of Kp affected their duo very mature Kp in answering that question hopefully he remains healthy they might win the Chip this year if he is healthy
Such a shame he did not have that maturity then. Imagine him and Luka…
It’s crazy how I predicted Celtics getting him! Last season he absolutely torched us by hitting a ton of mid range shots. I told myself “man he would be perfect for the Celtics and I know he doesn’t want to stay in Washington!” Then I said Brad is pretty good with getting the right pieces I bet he will make a move to get Porzingis! Some months later I wake up and see. “Celtics acquired Porzingis!” I woke up so happy and then he gets Jrue. Now you’re just spoiling us! Can we give Brad Stevens his flowers!💐
Loving the product placement
Jeff teague would be best but would you ever interview Woj ????
Could you do Lonzo Ball next? That'd be an awesome episode.
What a great discussion.
I would love to see an episode with you discussing Victor and the context of what he means to the Spurs versus fan expectations from the Duncan-Parker-Ginobili era. So much negativity around the team from fans, and I think they forget in the Big Three era, most of these players would be either playing in the D (G League) or their pre-draft team if outside the US for 2-3 years before they would see court time.
Having an ex-vet player's perspective would be great.
YOU SHOULD DO ONE WITH BIG SHAQ
Luka system
JJ Reddick Lonzo Ball your next guest 🙏🙏🙏
A Jokic Interview will be a great episode
They wanted him in the corner so he didn’t get hurt
Like Dirk, Kp and Marrkanen shouldn't be use exclusively as catch and shoot or else their great/good % will drop.
They should be played on different spots all game.
Get Théo
I know it doesn’t has anything to do with this what I’m about to say but Let’s goooooooo lakers 💛💜💛🏆🔥🐐
Porzingis inadvertently just admitted he 1/2 as$ it during the 2021 playoffs. How can anyone like this guy? His ego literally cost Mavs a chance to go further it seems. He was never better than Luka and never will be. Luka is generational and he’s just another big guy who can shoot. He got jealous of Luka and this is what I’ve always believed and now slowly will be revealed
Luka has 4 straight 1st Team All NBA Awards and soon 5 straight by age 24-25. Why is Porzingis so jealous of someone that is just flat out better than him? I’ve watched every Mavs game since Porzingis joined Luka and I could tell from Day 1 that man Porzingis was jealous.
Jealousy is a terrible trait. This interview revealing it
JJ my mom said you'd be handsome if it wasn't for the tattoos 😢
Bro did this mf cost the greatest PO history performance by luka because his ego hurt? Man what a disgusting player. Tingus Pingus
Luka is not capable of playing with another superstar (that he does not like). Even Kai is standing in the corner now.
Soft European big man, he will be bitching and complaining when something doesn’t go way like always.
He's 7'2 and Athletic he should be posting up by the Rim and it would help a team so much more.
Please get Derrick Rose on JJ!
Would a 21 Year old Dirk be allowed to post up intodays Game and get Isos' in todays Game with a horrible coach like carlilse.. Cause it's his post ups early in his career that made Dirk. It makes a guy an all around player and put s them in the battles inside to make them stronger and better. It gives them rhythm and more toughness. Sort of like you don't know how you have until they're punched in the mouth. Then you see who a player is and they rise up or quit like most blacks. carlisle and cuban never really threw KP in the post to see who he is. To see what he's GOT. You never know in practice. You only know in a game the other team gets physical. Sort of like Boxing. You never know a Boxer until after they get poped in the mouth. Then you see if they are a boxer or not. They never threw KP in the post to see if he is Michael Jordan. You never know until you try it as a coach. Doncic hasn't even been thrown inside to see if he has it or not. They hide doncic outside all game where he will never be popped in the mouth. and he will never get better cause of that.
The Zinger Ringer Brought in to Win the RING
Too me doncic seems afraid of contact. While Kristaps was like Gronk and didn't even know if someone was trying to be physical. Kristap welcomes the Physical play and Physical Contact. KP is more like Giannis and Jokic than Doncic. Doncic is more like Embiid as both are afraid of contact.
They just wanted him to be something that he wasn't a 7'2 spot up 3 point shooter. He's just simply not that as a player. He's a Post up player that teams should run offense through in the Close to the basket post ups, Flast Post ups, and Mid Range post ups. Also on pick and pop from mid range or 3. He should be in movement plays around the basket cause he can get easy shots up over them and also he can gain rhythm that way. It balances the floor aswell. He can draw doubles there too and pass off.
carlisle and doncic would rather lose as long as they get their 100 half court shots a game. They have such an EGO they would tell Larry Bird to go sit in the corner and tell him he might get 1 or 2 shots per game. And Cuban has the worst EGO of anyone that has ever existed.
I really dont' see what is wrong with posting up 7'2 Athletic Creative All Star. If that is what makes him play better. That's is who eh is as a player. Why would you tell Tim Duncan or David Robinson to stand in the corner all series.
These coaches that never blame Luka are to the real danger for the future of the Mavs. You cannot dominate the ball like have an insane usage of 40-50% . No one has that and every teammate should be pissed off and not play defence because he is not involved in the game. This is what happened to KP and I am 100% this is happening to Kyrie. He doesnt get the ball and only when Luka is substituted then Kyrie shines. Coaches must shout and scream at Luka when he makes a turnover or takes wrong shots. Otherwise he aint gonna become better or get a ring. Also tell him to play defence, dive for loose balls, lower his feet, everything. No one wants to play for the Mavs except role players. No superstar will come here and never touch the ball. It's so obvious.
Ever though about John wall
