Getting Traded, Getting Benched and Finding a Place in the NBA | Duncan Robinson & Donte DiVincenzo

We are so excited to welcome in two new members to the YM3 family, Donte DiVincenzo (Minnesota Timberwolves) and Duncan Robinson (Miami Heat). In this episode we get into so much including, Donte's trade from the New York Knicks to the Timberwolves and the difference in leadership style between Jalen Brunson and Anthony Edwards (ANT). Then the guys get into what it takes to be a successful at being an NBA role player and how to pick your spots and balance your ego. Donte then talks about what he's learned from Stephen Curry and the leaders are the ones to set the culture for the franchise. Duncan also discusses how he's been able to cope with getting fewer minutes on the Heat.

I am 30 minutes into the pod, but I had to comment. Duncan Robinson is doing an amazing job interviewing. Please keep it coming. This guy has phenomenal questions and follow ups.

[@YOUNGMANANDTHREE]

He is very good at this.

I'm so glad to see Duncan back on a Podcast. He's a natural!

Duncan podcasting again is a sign of his confidence

It’s a sign of his retirement

JJ was the best NBA talk on TV and the internet… Duncan made me happy as a replacement. What a likable kid.

[@ImJBlu]

Great to see duncan podcasting again

[@skatedurr]

facts

[@GameAdrenalineBlog]

i feel bad for his boy. prob quit his job to podcast and then had to go back to 9-5 life haha

[@ralph.javier]

I'm always curious about what happened behind the scenes, because The Long Shot pod started here with JJ then moved to Blue Wire then it was gone after shooting some Summer League episodes.

[@GameAdrenalineBlog]

@ he was in a major slump / trade rumors around the time it happened so he prob just wanted to distance himself from all that. i remember finding his friend on LinkedIn and it seemed based off the dates he had up he quit his job to go full time on Longshot but who knows

[@TheTEN24]

I miss Davis and the long shot pod

[@patrickkoh1308]

I miss Duncan's podcast, man. Hope he brings it back sometime!

[@bullit199]

I can’t imagine how tough it must be to be a professional athlete on a shooting slump AND having to do a podcast during that slump. I rather Duncan be performing well on the court.

[@tylerharp4544]

So glad to have Duncan on a podcast again

[@Hunna256]

Love to see Duncan back in the podcast world! Told him two seasons ago in Miami (vs New York, Julius Randle game winner) that I missed his podcast and now here I am loving every second of this! Great job Duncan!

[@TheTEN24]

Great to see Duncan doing a pod again but Davis was an elite cohost. Donte getting traded sucks man he was just such a joy to watch play for the Knicks I wish him nothing but the best

[@carterstahl9654]

We need the long shot pod back man or just Duncan doing a pod in general he is so talented at

[@starboytmc]

20mins in & I never knew tht I would enjoy hearing a guy like Duncan talking hoops on my Friday night. (Bay Area Native & Warriors fan) rooting for a long, healthy & successful career, Donte!

[@herbalescent71]

Donte-happy you settled in and genuinely seem happy! NY misses you, for real!

[@hectornegron9155]

GS misses him 2.

[@ilovekaiyko]

I remember when Duncan had to put a halt to the podcast a couple years ago after going on an insane slump 💀 glad hes back

[@enescohuntejr]

One of the few that highly appreciate the inside the mind NBA convos. Keep going fellas. 📝

[@thesparkplug5783]

Great to see Duncan posdcasting again! Wondering what happened to his partner in the long shot podcast tho

[@winterfoxcloud]

we missed you dunk! seeing the old man pod rebranded is honestly the best news i could have seen this week - excited for this! also love donte and hoping he can turn it around after a rough start in minnesota and if it doesn't work out i would GLADLY have him back on the knicks roster

[@tjreidwrites]

Love to see Duncan podcasting

[@LizardBiscuts]

Love how original pod took its name from a Hemmingway classic and now is its own thing enough to where it doesnt sound off when rebranded. Thats a credit to the strength of content

[@Senai-oq1qp]

Minnesota is a slept on state. Players that go to Minnesota always have nothing but good things to say about the state & franchise.

[@Dotification]

That's the most I've ever heard Donte talk (MN fan) but yeah, this was well done. Billy Sushi is supposed to be pretty baller for MN 🍣

[@DavidJonesAirway]

Catching your rhythm Donte . That’s the final four MVP

[@Jeff-j4d]

Donte , thx for everything you did last season , we miss you like crazy!!! Do your thing in Minnesota

[@ar3t33]

The long shot! Duncan's a natural

[@Sports21all]

Thought it was a Longshot to see Dunc hosting a pod

[@Chilluminati_]

i see what you did there

[@mmfitter6731]

Hi - Nice show, my first episode, thanks!

[@kyleorchard3979]

i will never forget the feeling after watching that national championship.

[@chasewheeler5430]

DUNCAN PLZ COME BACK WE MISS U DAWG

[@rileymcphee9429]

Duncan: Your mental health is suffering, your fiance is upset, your friends aren't calling, the sky is falling.. Donte: yeah.....

[@moranwa]

This is one of the best hoops podcast episodes I’ve ever seen and I watch a LOT of hoops pods. Need more Tommy and Duncan content and Donte is a fire guest, should do these more lol.

[@zZz0349]

I love the way Duncan talks about basketball and the details. Great speaker and mind

[@dannyl3858]

This was a great podcast. Duncan asks direct and relevant questions and Donte was a great guest.

[@fernandobarrios4603]

Does anyone know why Duncan stop podcasting? I missed the Longshot pod. We need more Duncan! #MiamirunsonDuncan

[@andone4059]

Prolly to focus on his game

[@FebreezyWeezy]

What a great podcast, Good chemistry

[@Daniel-qn9rw]

Is that THE DUNCAN ROBINSON???

[@daviddinh8406]

1st time watching Duncan Robinson -- he's a natural with podcasting. I like how he speaks on his experience and ties it back to the earlier answer given by the guest so he can expand on the topic.

[@lilJaundice]

Damn u can tell Donte loved playing for Thibs. Miss him on the Knicks man, glad he’s happy in Minnesota

[@15awesomehighfive]

Two of my favourite shooters in one pod?? This made my day!

[@somachiagbapu4506]

Wiping the memory of your last college basketball game >>

[@paulpoz.45]

This interview was amazing, I think Duncan did a incredible job with all the questions he asked, so looking forward to the follow up when they play in Miami..

[@JaydashGaming]

Tommy and Duncan make a good podcast duo

[@dyllanlee2487]

What happened to Davis from his old pod

[@oscarhess1376]

I was TPing during homecoming when I heard about this trade. I am TWolves fan and while KAT will always be an all time great here Dante is a bucket

[@graphicsociety1]

Great job, great podcast! 👏

[@kennygpokerstrategy4917]

Awesome episode!!!!

[@AidanXavier988]

We need long shot back, Dunc is too good at this

[@jaybarz003]

Wat i luv about Donte is his shotmaking,playmaking,passing,ball cntrl,confidence,no ego & rltnship he keeps wit his teammates.He's a solid 3pt shooter.Wat he needs to improve on is,making btr decisions b4 he shoots & drawing def better.Love ya game tho!!👍

[@beverleygray7658]

Duncan, I miss your podcast

[@suggscorleone6061]

Duncan definitely wants to play with GS

[@jaybarz003]

I like Donte.I knew dis guy 2 years ago in Knicks.When he was in Warriors,he wasn't as good as he was like confidence,shooting or ball control wasn't clicking yet.And he hadn't found his role.

[@zZz0349]

Great episode y’all

[@Thick_Mints]

We need Davis back too

[@GU1TARD3MON]

Duncan is so good

[@ckq]

Duncan Robinson is a legend. In the 2023 Playoffs he outplayed 2 Finals MVPs he outplayed Giannis in the 1st round (20 MPG vs 30 MPG) and Jaylen Brown in the ECF (in half as many MPG)

[@beverleygray7658]

Sooo true

Once a Knick, Always a Knicks! We miss you Ragu !

Knicks shoulda kept divo tbh

[@LoganNagol]

Duncan so similar to JJ with how they talk in podcasts

[@duderap]

The Michael Jordan of Delaware! We miss you gang #OAKAAK

[@michaelborgerding88]

Donte been having a few rough games recently. He’s gonna bounce back in a big way. Believe that.

[@TCOBaG]

great question, Tommy - about whether you should try to manage the emotions and energy - I spent much of my early life around the race track - a lot of horses run their race in the saddling paddock - they're so hyped, they burn up so much energy because they know the race is coming. It's a tough thing for some to figure out how much energy to expend there or how much you need to spend there to keep from having an energy level that is too low.

[@JohnTurri]

I really want to know Duncan’s secret spots in Miami 😂 🍣 🍱

[@martiniliev1697]

Missed you Dunc! We need your back!

[@dwightyawg7781]

I’m still gonna watch the whole thing but you should add time stamps

[@Mr22wayyz]

Duncan good guy!!

[@johncrook9519]

DiVincenzo has played with some pretty guards. He mentioned Edwards and Brunson, but he played with Steph the year before that.

[@georgemarco11]

he was Jrue favorite player also, but... "why does the bucks suck ?!"

Why not interview Jamal Crawford? He was mr six man, when you thought of six man you thought Jamal Crawford.

Come back and do the pod regular Duncan….you was shooting better back then anyway

[@nupc717]

the exciting yts

[@avrohomcohen3585]

I am a knicks fan and i can say 11 games in , its clear to me wolves won that trade. Even though kat was the best player in the trade , the knicks gave up there chemistry/identity which translates to winning more then talent.

[@noahjohnson1364]

For the algorithm. Fun episode.

[@him4882]

He’s too good to be floating around. Knicks messed up.

[@keva707]

Donte balled out w/ the Knicks… balled tf out… Knicks will regret this. They are already playing like doodoo

I need Donte to be starting over Conley. Who’s running the show over there. It’s pathetic!

...come back home donte...come back to NY
