[@decade130]

The reason JJ is so good at this is because he rarely interrupts or interjects. He lets his guests explain themselves

[@MrRumcajs1000]

It's way more than that. I consider myself a good listener, there are plenty of people which can do that part, but JJ understands and relates to most of the stuff his guests talk about. That combined with the fact he lets his guests speak and doesn't make assumptions makes them feel understood better than in most environments and they open up.

[@tmal3422]

And he didn’t pressure him into saying what they actually said

[@adriandenson2014]

Agreed

[@michaelwhite9288]

Yep! Plus it’s more genuine especially since it’s a form respected player asking. Plus If it where me I’d rather support a fellow nba basketball brother and his podcast than the mainstream media that you know doesn’t understand and really don’t care about you.

[@swervoohoops50]

I love how JJ asks great questions that NBA fans would love to know the deeper story of without creating drama like mainstream media does and receiving an honest response from the athletes

[@meltedsmores8336]

Eh, he is leading bam with an answer, would be best to just ask him straight up “what happened after the altercation and how’s the team doing?” Vs “is that something that lingers, or are you guys because of the foundation…” Bam literally repeats JJs last sentence so he’s helping him answer it. No need for the additional leading.

[@Yungbeck]

Thats why First Take should hire him and get some realness up in there

[@2200ghost]

Same bro

[@aibonitoguerrero]

@@Yungbeck nah First take would want mold him to fit their standards and therefore take the realness of the interview away First take wants the gossip, the hot takes etc, etc...this is real.

[@layups]

JJ did a great job of softening the situation by saying they were arguing about "dinner plans".

All the Smoke, the Shop, Draymond Green Show, Club Shay Shay, Club JJ lol, all these athlete's shows are way better than anything any media outlet could produce.

[@yagaara7773]

I think the reason those shows are so great is because there is mutual respect and trust between the people. Also the intention that these shows have: JJ doesnt want drama and get as big as possible. He wants to give the viewers which are interested, a real view behind the scenes.

[@BigPurp9]

This is why I never understood the reaction to it, things like this happen all the time. Even Draymond and KD said the reaction to their on court argument was made the situation 10X worse

[@chrismartinez9210]

I mean to be fair KD did say that argument is a main reason he left GS

[@BigPurp9]

@@chrismartinez9210 from what I took from it I thought it was more cos he felt like an outsider. Like he was just on their team rather than it being all of their team. Feel like everything else just added to it but don’t think the argument was a major reason.

[@davidtogi5878]

Nope, people are pooping on a daily basis, it happen all the time. Doesn't mean its okay to do so in public.

[@ActionJacksonForever]

Of course you’re going to get a reaction from the media, THEY DONT PLAY BALL

[@ActionJacksonForever]

@@BigPurp9KD is a beta that’s why he left, if he had a problem with Draymond mouth then he simply goes up to the front office, this man disrespected me, either he goes or I go, you have until tomorrow to make your decision, same thing with Westbrook, I can’t win with this 🤡 either he goes or I go. That’s how you handle those situations as an alpha. “I felt like an outsider” females seek validation.

People don’t get reps out of nowhere. It was just a matter of time before Buttler did this. If Dwayne Wade was Jesus here, then UD is Godlike. You will not do well with Miami fans attacking UD or Spoelstra. Spoelstra has proven, time and again, he knows his stuff.
