Further proof that KG is a true renaissance man. Guy knows more than just basketball, and instills knowledge in most people he talks to.

@ohsevenone there are other ways to talk than being a fucking thesaurus. his upbringing permeates in how he talks and interacts with people - it seems like it's different from yours by your nasty digs so maybe shut the fuck up and learn something new instead

[@palafox773]

Uncut Gems was such a great film to see. The whole movie was intense but those last30 minutes were something else. A24 with another great movie!

[@burritogamer3984]

even knowing the outcome of that game, it was riveting and stressful and just had you feeling like your own momey was on the line. It was so effective

the moral is: talkers always think they can talk. but goons are eventually gonna have to goon.

nothing compared to Edward Norton last month, he basically went on every podcast.

[@Sam19509]

@@bikingchupei2447 lol Norton's movie tanked at the box office so did Clint Eastwood's Richard Jewell. All the movies that aren't some pg rated franchise flick like the Jumanji sequel have been doing bad at the box office the weeks before and after Netflix's The Irishman dropped on netflix and was also playing in smaller theaters for the weeks prior. Everyone I know has seen that over all the recent movies that have come out in theaters as of late. It is really good. Before The Irishman hoopla everyone was seeing Joker and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

[@roboninja3194]

And Sandler got snubbed. Shame on the academy. Adam most likely never gets a chance to be nominated again. Even a nomination means something. You see it all the time in trailers....."2x oscar nominated so and so." It adds prestige. Not to mention Sandler imo deserved at the very least a nomination. He was outstanding in this role.

[@GianfrancoMontebello]

KG makes you feel passionate about listening, dude exudes passion.

Being a big Bill Simmons guy and Celts fan, I listened to this podcast when it came out. I randomly saw that it had been filmed and figured I rewatch a few min. Ended up watching the whole thing again, it was even better getting to see these guys huddle around KG. Story time baby! 😝

"Holy snap"-Kevin Garnett

[@stephencurry3097]

Gotta love Kevin Garnett , absolute hustler. You get inspired listening to him. Came to hear what he said about Giannis cuz I am a Greek and he made me stay for the whole podcast, time well spent.

[@aliciad8553]

Love KG. Wish he did more long-form podcasts, he is a true student of the game and has so many good stories. He's 100% unfiltered, charismatic, and I want to hear his opinions about the current storylines. Put him back on the BS pod (although he does seem annoyed by Bill, which is even funnier cuz Bill is such a fan of his.) He would be great on JJ Reddick's pod, as he was great on All the Smoke. Also, the Rodman story is truly amazing.

[@amanr6346]

This is brilliant. Not a basketball fan but KG is awesome! Just three guys chatting about life, movies, sports....loved it!

KG is a true storyteller! Every story he tells in these interviews is entertaining and informational. Glad he did this movie otherwise we might not get all these stories about hoopers.

[@blueyard]

By far Kevin Garnett is my favorite player straight outta high school. Kobe was my mom's favorite player in the NBA. It's hard out here. I rooted for the Celtics bacc in '08 being from Los Angeles. It's really good to see KG fucc with movies post his NBA career. Real glad he made it to the Hall of Fame. This Coronavirus is serious. RIP Kobe!

[@mattceccotti]

this was great!

[@movie3450]

At the 10:19 mark kg dropped some knowledge about the league and its younger generation. This why the nba season should stay around 82 games. The length of the season separate the legends from the cant stay forcus type of player. Do you want to celebrate the Michael, Kobe type of player or do we want to hold up players like Anthony Wiggins or the Kwame Brown of the world🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️... we must up held the Excellence of the league.

[@MohamedAli-dz1yo]

I disagree. I think a shorter season, less foul calls or a different foul calling system and we will be good. The amount of injuries is bad for the game and doesnt come from physical play, it comes from being overworked. Everyone of your favorite players has lost a lot of time to injury. 70 games versus 82 isnt a big difference but might make a big difference in the longevity of players and the amount of injuries. They have to do something about foul calls, thats what ruins the game. No one wants to watch people shooting free throws every 30 seconds, it stops the flow of the game and is so boring. In terms of skill, the nba is more skilled than ever before its the soft play that stops the game and ruins the flow.

[@Sam19509]

@@MohamedAli-dz1yo nba is not going to reduce the length of the season unless there is a big catch. Even reducing it by one game across 30 teams is quite a bit of bank the owners and players lose out on. The recent mid-season tournament proposal the league just sent the player's union reduces the regular season to 78 games including the 8 tournament group stage games. However the teams that actually qualify for the elimination rounds of the tournament play more games with the tournament champion playing an additional 4 games to produce an 82 game season long before the actual playoffs. Basically the nba is expecting the shitty rebuilding teams who won't advance in the group stage to have their season reduced to 78 games while all the playoff bound teams play anywhere from 79-82 games including regular season and tournament.

[@brentulstad3275]

I know that they are very different styles of filmmakers and different unique voices, but as I've been experiencing and becoming familiar with the Safdie Bros recently, I can't help but notice many of the same intense feelings and deep-cutting authenticity which I uniquely experienced many years ago when first getting into Darren Aronofsky and falling in love with his films. Heavily-Heady, Brutal, Honest, Surreal, Cerebral, Symbolic, Contradictory, Provocative, Beautifully Savage! * S. Craig Zahler, Ari Aster and Robert Eggers also are quickly becoming huge influences and inspiring sources of creative energy!

I know He was awesome and one of my top 50 players or so ever, But all of that hard work he said he did and some of that knowledge he has is what made him an Awesome player on top of his great skills. I'm sure That is Definitely the reason He made over $300 million in The NBA. Probably the most ever. "If not, Pretty close". Lol... And far as Adam Sandler goes. There is Not 1 movie He made that I didn't like. He's Hilarious and he can play serious rolls just as good. (Uncut Gems) was GREAT !!!
