"i hated the losing and i wasn't enjoying the winning and you can't do it like that. the scale wasn't balancing for me." goddamn, that was such a great insight and it happens to so many of us when we want to do the things we love at a high level.

JJ and his team are so freaking good at this podcast thing. I know everybody already knows this, but everything they do is done right. This is the perfect sneak peak clip to get ppl excited for full drop. You can tell people really respect JJ, the conversations feel very genuine and not forced at all. I started following when he had Andrew Yang on back in like 2020 or something and even then it was obvious how good he was at podcast. It's probably the second best podcast in terms of total quality from guests to production to topics that I've ever watched. Its behind only JRE and that's saying a lot. We are watching JJ evolve into THE go to NBA content for a whole generation. GOATed podcast already

It was him and his highschool 5 verse me a soccer player and 4 starters for roanoke basketball we won 2 of 3 but JJ was nice shooting and hitting deep threes and was taller and bigger then I was thinking..nice guy we were all kids..he was def dunking after we were done playing just messing around but he could def dunk it no prob and you could just see how his shooting was way above average..good memories thanks JJ

[@john50beach18]

It is pretty insane that in all these years, no-one who's ever met Steph has found anything negative to say about him

[@digismithytcg]

Yes, there is leadership. But I think the key thing is just letting your best players be who they are. This ain't the 90s and early 2000s where everybody is all about business. This is a playground game. MJ lead because he was unabashedly himself. Shaq and Kobe won together, until their personalities clashed and they didn't like how each other carried themself. But they won again separately because they could be unabashedly themself. The Spurs big 3 were successful because their Big 3 could be themselves. Lebron was unlocked after losing in the finals against Dallas because, yes, their team was a cheat code. But they had fun in years 2 and 3 for sure. Then come my warriors. Their chemistry was on point because all their players could just be who they want to be. Steph the jovial assassin. Klay the lowkey weird but really cool guy. Draymond, the agitator. Each person unlocked at an individual level and then when on the court, they can be maximized because they just need to think basketball.

Longest question ever

[@judyclarkson5887]

Well I think I can conclude it here as an One Piece fan. Magic is the original 'Joyboy', while Steph is the Luffy's Joyboy whose style of play and contagious joy simply stretching the imagination of how to play basketball that it frees everyone to just shoot the ball and that it changes the game itself and how we view it 😂

[@joshualim6623]

my goat Steph

[@fateriddle14]

The timing he left, as a Warriors fan, I remind everybody to just not take his word for it. He said it's not about "Jumping off the Titanic" as Chuck put it, but it's exactly that. All these "other issues", that he "can't be as fully commted", then guess what, not even 1 year later, he find himself doing the GM job for another team. So really just watch this guy's action, it speaks louder than whatever he has to say.

[@SirCruxful]
