Jules. You have earned the right to never have to pay for a single drink in the city for the rest of your life. You're a generational goat

[@andrewbright4988]

Love this show it's so freaking good. What a gem I love when I get a notification that there is a new video

[@andrewbright4988]

Reggie 8 points in 6 seconds will be a great show

[@seandawson5899]

I love Jules. Been watching him since I was a little kid. Its great to hear him talk now. He's a legend in my house.

[@Juskle7]

Great interview and awesome show. Love this combo

[@finks1]

Rewatched some highlights and Tony and Scal are the two players that carried him off the court. Missed opportunity for at least 1 Scal shout out.

[@Kitty8791]

Jules woulda been the highlight in a firefighter calender. 😉😛 When you're home in Boston maybe go visit the station on Boylston St: Engine 33/Ladder 15 & do a photoshoot? 🤔

[@tomf8315]

Fair PP. coming from LA and going to Celtics that was hard!! The rivalry was absolutely real !! And then, becoming a Celtics legend ❤❤❤❤

[@nickbortone8604]

Paul absolutely faded in this shit makes it so much better😭 Paul is funny asg

[@benmecha01]

That instagram live he had was one of the greats

[@e4ioable]

Paul Pierce 100% shit his pants lmao

[@mikeh9918]

Love the show. I think Nick Foles would be a great guest🦅

[@angrycharcoalcat]

That would be a great episode!!! Nick foles beating Brady that year was like that superman scene where he crushed the bullet with his eye. Foles was unstoppable that game!

[@noahlemley9020]

there's definitely a bet on how many times Jules can work in a "from the Bay Area line" in the show, love the gamble

[@benmecha01]

These 2 probably had so many dawg stories together

[@aestheticgirly1508]

Love to see the way it started...didnt miss a beat

[@thekiddsean33026]

the truth one of my favorite players

[@PhuckSociety]

Yeah this is fittin to blow great combo

[@bbuser]

The great GA v. Auburn game was on 11-16-1996 - Kirby Smart and Mike Bobo were on the team

[@tonocr1]

I wish this was longer

[@andrewescu]

My girlfriend said the same thing

[@bbuser]

the great Portland Trial Blazers game was in 1977 - triple overtime in playoffs - I think in finals

[@uzi978]

Right off the top, LOVE the Johnny Most shirt, way to represent, Julian. 👊👊

[@andrewbright4988]

Julian is great at this he is a natural

[@bsousa3837]

Biased Masshole here but is this not one of the best sports shows out there?

[@mikegeorge991]

I’m binge watching this shiz…. ⚡️LFG⚡️☘️

[@marcuspolo9106]

Tough team to beat,2nd best celtics team,1986 celts were dominate 41 1 at home top 5 goat team,k.g is the ultimate celtic,pierce right therw

[@markmanter6508]

Pierce, Ray Allen & KG were my favorite players in middle school after I got through my AI phase lol

[@TheRealLange21]

The KG trade gave the Timberwolves the chance to draft Steph Curry. Instead they drafted Jonny Flynn.

[@uzi978]

The Celtics gave up like 5 players + a 1st round pick for KG.. what did the Lakers give up for Gasol?

[@mrfernandez1804]

Redo with Paul ☘️

[@thomaskim7104]

Jules in those jean shorts is a sight to see! This is a great show.

[@katiebearz889]

I know the Jortes, although he recently signed a new heights that he was decked out in a “Canadian Tuexedo” I believe it was this past Super Bowl but I definitely could be wrong but I’m not wrong about him wearing a Canadian tuxedo watch in case you didn’t know it had the bottom denim. Yeah, I could listen to Jules for hours on his podcast is episode a New heights is fantastic. Episode on the green light podcast also fantastic I think he may have two on green light, but I could be wrong there.

[@seanhogan6533]

Get Eddy House and talk Game 4 of this series

[@cococrispys]

45:17

[@DDG00]

14:30 fuck yeah jules

[@jakeferreira1211]

I would argue that the Lakers 3peat was the first super team. The signed Shaq and traded for Kobe. Or even the Bulls when they signed Rodman.

[@chriskay6856]

I agree. I have always thought the bulls was the first Super team. I mean they had Jordan and pippen but they signed Rodman, got best international player in Kukoc, Harper,

[@robg8203]

The Bulls were like a defensive super team for sure. I mean they had Jordan, Pippin and Kukoč who could shoot but that was pretty much it. And I don't think Pippin averaged more than 20 and Kukoč ever averaged more than 15 when Jordan was playin. So I guess it depends on how you define super team.

[@bostonbangouts]

Jules... we can share everything now! lmao... Cam Diaz in The Mask is all time spank bank smh... she never looked better than in that movie IMO

[@afielde11]

Ummm he wasn’t Rookie of the Year. Paul just let it ride though lol

[@admwalkgmailcom]

You would think winning heals everything, but Tom Brady left for Tampa Bay 18:52

[@drewfoster5030]

Love Edelman for not talking politics 💪🏻

[@beneatspizza2380]

Camron Diaz was her hottest in the mask

[@elisabethgraf6288]

More poopy talk please 😂 😆😅

[@kevint1196]

The way those ex-Celtics players talk, you would think they have won multiple championships since 2008. Julian Edelman asks some dumb questions.

[@markmanter6508]

To be fair they probably would have won more if there wasn’t so much bs politics happening behind the scenes in the NBA and if the league’s ref’s weren’t so biased.

[@davidcarter6491]

New show with out Sam is better! Sorry Sam.

[@NOxSPLOOSHxPLANE]

Theyshould have gave you better talent and built a better team around you I liked Antoine walker but come on the Celtics could have had Kobe and I can tell you right now you would have a lot more than just that one in '08

[@markmanter6508]

Lol there was a minimally slim chance that Kobe was ever going to the Celtics. It’s true the Celtics almost drafted him but I’m pretty sure it would have been bigger news if they ever tried to acquire him again after that.

[@blicky2989]

First!

[@larrybirdjr]

Shaq going to LA was the beginning of super teams not the 08 Celtics

[@swilliams2628]

I don’t think so. LA was mediocre back then. He signed as a free agent in 96. Kobe was a rookie and no one knew if he was going to be a stud. LA didn’t do anything until Shaq’s fourth year there. We had a washed Rockets team try it with Barkley/Pippen. And the Celtics was all through front office trades so I don’t count that. LeBron and Miami started this crap and it just got worse.

[@1VetsVision]

Antoine Walker was good, but he took way too many shots! That’s why he was criticized. Yeah he was good and he had his moments, but he was inconsistent shooter. That’s why he wasn’t a superstar. I bet Draymond Green has a higher 3-point field goal % than Antoine Walker.

[@1VetsVision]

I do miss Antoine Walker’s little shake he did after he would come down and lace a 3-ball during during a scoring-run

[@911WASanINSIDEjob420]

jules absolutely carries this show

[@Redclxxd]

Huh? Sam is gold. It’s a perfect balance

[@911WASanINSIDEjob420]
