Been on a streak watching Shump interviews. His story telling skill is special. I think sport shows should be analyzed mostly by old players and a few analysts. That’s why TNT is the best, by a margin.

Tnt is fan favorite sports show for that reason. Everybody loves the crew at tnt

[@jimmyfuckthechainofcommand4332]

I love how so many times they was trying to bait Shump into saying something sideways about Steph and the Warriors and he didn't bite. Have a lot of love for players like that. Coming back 3-1 is really impressive, but you were down 3-1 for a reason. You wasn't playing some scrubs.

[@delayeddobehittin5750]

Gems*

[@saggeedt9036]

Shumpert details the best insights to what makes playing in the NBA difficult and/or impressive. Like Giannis building up his confidence/momentum, just by collapsing the defense. Or Pippen/him affecting the team's effort and opportunities by going for steals. Basketball is a beautiful game.

[@donfoolio1989]

The fact that iman isnt in the league rn is nuts. I miss watching him play defense man. 😣

[@chaseolen5920]

Holmes the most intense and calmest person ever😭💯

[@Spuggiii]

It's great to see someone who is truly around the game and all the highs and lows speak freely. People get too caught up in what you hear from players in a situation where they would get fined if they really spoke their mind. And then we gotta listen to someone like stephen a smith talk like he knows what's going on. The game is complex to a point that viewers don't see. Yet we make the drama of the game so much bigger than it is. I believe as viewers we should just stfu and watch the game sometimes and stop with all this bs we do like we even have a clue what its like to have to stand in front of someone like KD and LeBron and have to stop them from scoring or making a play. The idea that we can tell a grown man he isn't doing good enough at his own profession is baffling.

[@benten3524]

[@bballhornetsallday23]

Not washing his hands is definitely the new way to describe players that are buckets

Brad Stevens was lying about JT height. Tatum literally came out and said the statements about him being 6'10 weren't true. He's 6'8. He was actually 6'7 his rookie year.

[@firstclasscondones8124]

He grew 2 inches it’s very possible

[@shelovet0mmy]

He was 19 when he came in the league bro just kept growing😭🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Anthonydu01630]

Tatum is close to KD and Giannis height, and they are both 6´11, so Tatum is easily 6´9, and more lenghty than Lebron…

[@PMKru]

@@Anthonydu01630 😂 Way To Diss Bron For Nothing! Btw Bron Wingspan Is 7’0” Tatums Is 6’11. Nice Try Tho Do Some Research Next Time This Is All On The Internet

[@henrycavillsrealmustache3553]

@@PMKru well thats the point… the alleged statement is JT is now closer to 6’10 they even said in this pod his new wingspan is allegedly like 7’2. So yes his LISTED winspan and height is all on the internet much like KDs used to be 6’9… and he clearly isnt nor wasnt. Lol

Shump said to stop Giannis, stop everybody else.. that’s exactly with Boston did. Locked up the shooters and played Giannis one on one.

They didn’t play giannis one on one the doubled and triple teamed that man And prayed to god the shooters miss

[@kthomas9424]

@@seankelly4594 in the first game or two yes but the bucks took far less attempts because of Boston electing to play the shooters heavy, and playing Giannis 1 on 1 on early & bringing a help defender very late instead of commuting 2 defenders early & allowing him to find the open man

[@tomimdawodu6808]

I’m so upset with the way Imani’s career went I always thought he had the potential and the skills to be an all star in the league then he got injured, but then he had a chance in the nba finals to really prove himself I think twice but he wasn’t hitting shots and wide open ones at that i those finals and then he just kept getting traded he really was supposed to be an all star from the knicks!

[@Hova-dw5sw]

Yeah everybody literally wanted to trade for him prior to that injury.

[@JoeyBK_86]

We in Brooklyn had him for a quick min…. I wish we kept that man tbh

[@peejaythegreat1704]

He would’ve been waayyy better in the early 2000s soon as the game shifted to the 3 ball a lot of players game didn’t fit the game anymore
