One of my favorite nba players he could help out so many teams right now 💯

[@TraitsofGreatness]

This man can’t shoot, respectfully

[@DoodMayne]

One of the best episodes of an nba player podcast I have ever watched. Wasn't expecting to enjoy this one as much as I did. Dude is hilarious.

[@jadenx9225]

the midnight drop shoutout all my night shifters 🫡

[@SouloSoulo__]

I’m from Lafayette EP gave everybody that hooped, hope that if they went to UL we could get drafted lol

[@klowonjulu]

Underrated podcast

[@ChillyWilly_819]

Ep is nice for real for real

[@makejesusfamousministries]

I was in a coffee shop when I seen EP but haven't seen him in a min so I didn't know it was him. I kept looking over and realized it was EP but didn't say wassup to him cause I assumed he always get that attention. He seems hecka humble tho frfr. I love his game.

[@ChrisTrewVideos]

Loved this, big fan of EP!

[@TheBeforewebegin]

I started watching Elfrid, 17yr freshman at ULL school some boys. It was such a pleasure to watch his career ever since then. Thanks for this episode!

[@Flameville]

Love this pod fr!! All my lowkey favorites been on the pod

[@corymatthews6778]

Yall have great underrated guests

[@cheatcodeBackup]

Elfrid Been 💯Authentic food interview 💯

[@DiorInEveryStore]

Hope they asked em bout his old hair shit was legendary😂

[@6ixgrimmy333]

Gotta keep ep on the pod cast

[@MujahidToler]

I appreciate this.✨ Shoutout EP.🤞🏿

[@brandongannon5677]

Cajun legend🔥

[@Dontrunkicksnyc]

Fav pod out only real pod out

[@sm44july]

Yo Elfrid hilarious bro ahhah, love to hear these NBA stories cause not everything is sweet. Some real adversity you gotta go through because of the business

[@_viewsfromthed]

EP is a natural story teller

[@tomasvalenta2436]

Saw EP with USA U19 team in Prague in 2013, he got drafted the very next year and he's one of my favorite hoopers since that day i saw him for the first time. The true floor general and pure hooper

[@randy4173]

The 'pause' from EP killing me lol

[@danielgibson1441]

I kove the story he told about going to China in college to play ball & spread the gospel..how that helped him get close to God & ultimately helped him get to the USA bball camp. There's no coincidence 🙏🏿

[@ericwearyjr.1043]

real inspo

[@Milo.Benjamin]

Best basketball pod. We miss you in a Mavs uniform Theo!

[@klil230]

Wish they spoke on Thibs and why they had to keep giving the ball to Randle during those years

[@dchan9190]

Lmao iykyk

[@footfan53]

U don’t need EP to tell you that. You know Thibs philosophy, enough said.

[@jerryhicks8167]

This a fye episode I’m rooting for Payton fasho. Bro hair was hard

[@amsterdamgraham8278]

I remember watching EP when he was in college

[@allconditions2259]

I always just assumed he was from Florida lol

[@MOSTVALIDTAKES]

Theo dropping the clip??🔥🔥🤣🤣

[@ericwearyjr.1043]

Vince Carter statue in TO

[@carlcolemanjr6]

That 2012 vs 2018 Bron is so tough. Taking that team to the finals in 18 was ridiculous

[@quincyfrink8093]

Bro doing anything with the Microphone pause lmaoooo know the producer was tight

[@nicholasgrinder8430]

Good pod but you gotta bring him back and ask about the legendary hair his g league journey and overseas career

[@Uncle.Shizz-onIG]

EP with them wicks I knew he was Louisiana 😂

[@bsq_2x70]

There shouldn’t be a statue in Toronto if it isn’t Vince

[@yktvnaz4615]

yessssir

[@heavybrandpodcast]

Still not sure why Elfrid Payton is not in the league. 🤷🏿

[@aaronhutchinson885]

Stupidanalytics. Smh he not even 30

[@kyledayson4642]

Shout out EP! Once a Knick….

[@footfan53]

Elf should be in the league , he could at least play for Detroit or a team like that.

[@marcr196]

Nice Dbacks hat Elfrid

[@carlcolemanjr6]

Getting a statue because you helped a team win 1 championship is crazy. We’re being too nice. Retiring his jersey is a lil much in my opinion too the man played 1 season for the team

[@myrinnn9851]

ep old high schoolcoach just recently retired after like 20 years and to this day older guys that went to his school says the coach was hiding ep offers. its a rumor but everyone believes it if yall knew this coach yall would believe the shit too dawg because there’s just no way bro got nothing

[@1jaystackhouse]

Louisiana coaches infamous for that bro

[@frontendchild]

Kyle Lowry not getting statue over Vince carter

[@BjtheLawyer_]

Kawhi does not deserve a statute for playing only one season 😂

[@amsterdamgraham8278]

Might be the only championship they ever get in Toronto tho 😂 he was like “here yall go” and bounced

[@BjtheLawyer_]

@@amsterdamgraham8278 yeah winning one championship & only being there one season does not warrant a statute. He not tied to Toronto. He also won in San Antonio lol. To get a statute you have to damn near spend most of your career in that city. Like Lebron will get a statute in Cleveland! That makes sense!

[@joemoneymondays]

Is that Miles Brown from Black-ish?

[@user-kv5bl4db8e]

Bro mad country lol he seem cool asl though

[@deefrison]

I better hear them ask bout his old hair

[@akeembell6384]

My boy voice aound like he 12 yo 😂😂😂

[@heykk723]

He really be there for the worst of it, coaches see the team trade for EP they start questioning they job security 😭😭

[@kingrocko1781]

He wasn’t on the 21 Suns tho he was on the Knicks

[@shooooooter]

Pretty sure we hated elfrid in New York 😭 mans can only shoot when he’s under the basket

[@Dontrunkicksnyc]

Elfrid speak like michael jackson

[@mytubethis2106]

Dude in the middle look so small compared to theo and elfred

[@user-kp8hf1by1x]

The Knicks should’ve never shelfed the Elf in the 1st round against Atlanta I know that killed his mental

[@DAME31J]

Aye man EP went thru hell in my knicks we can be the biggest assholes 😂 but at some point we knew it was all on Fizdale. Ive never seen a worst coach n this mofo he played everybody with the "lebron" hiring shit

[@G3skiii]

Pause

[@bsq_2x70]

Dude sound just like Curren$y

[@freddiegibbs101]

49:30 MLK speech + Thieves in the Temple ... trying to be Phil Jackson bruh, this psychological shit doesn't work if you suck XD

[@liquid_karan]

i like the pods but the co-host needs to stop saying "facts" as a response to everything.

[@j.jackson672]

Pointless interview if everything worth talking about is “ I ain’t gon talk bout it” 😑
