post your letterboxd dub
my goats
“hour, hour 10 with them”. then releases less then 45 minutes…
LU DORT DPOY AGENDA RISE UP
Allstate ftw. I love the dude.
AC is going to be a hall of fame level coach if he chooses to. He’s so smart and well spoken. And in a NBA locker room he’d carry so much respect for how he played the game every night. HE is a player of substance in a watered down league. Hope OKC wins a chip for him
Yeeessssss
29:56 mark is FACTS. Most people don’t notice great defense. Lu Dort had Coby White in HELL after Coby was on a heater for a month and dropped 25+ right after on good efficiency. He forced Coby into so many bad shots where he was leaning and Caruso was letting him know on the bench from what I saw. I’m a Bulls fan but it’s a fact Dort should be first team all defense and Caruso should have been the dpoy last year not just first team! What you did here in the Chi is legendary
Damn Ruse, 20 mintues late? 🤦🏾
What a great interview
Y'all stopped all that damn barking and the steals went down
Duuuuude we need the players doing stuff like this more often. Most people never even heard Shai/Dub speak lmao
Yerrp
Watch the games!
I lost interest in the channel when JJ left but the OKC vids make me get back into it and im glad i did. He possesses the art of interviewing that u can’t teach
Great guys. This thunder team is all time great.
