In-Depth Hoops Talk: Jalen Williams and JJ Redick Explain What Makes OKC's Offense So Hard to Guard

[@williestyle35]

Ever since JJ Redick first interviewed J Dub, I have been paying attention to his game. OKC has a good mix of players, they play together, but their winning comes down to talent and Jalen Williams adds a lot to the OKC talent pool. I will keep coming back to hear whatever he has to say here.

[@Cole-hx4ci]

He’s the best 22 year old of all time

[@tholds]

Dub can just straight ball. Loving this team

[@williestyle35]

@@tholds I hear you. Nearly every game I see J Dub doing something that helps OKC get a win. So long as they can keep all these guys together, they are going to be a playoff team for years.

[@Gamer-jv8uv]

It's so cool to watch JDub speak every time he comes on. Seeing him in the glasses and a hoodie makes him feel so human. I realized that me and this kid are the same age and he's at the top of the western conference right now. It's so surreal from my perspective but he's so down to earth and just wants to talk ball. I can't wait to grow up with him and his game. OKC's got a special talent on their hands

[@5115neo]

When JJ asks how he is & he just says “tired” 💀💀 real

[@jk-pc1iv]

Wait for it, soon you’ll be same age with legitimate vets in the league. Let me tell you, it feels weird. 😅

[@williestyle35]

I was hooked when I saw the first segments of JJ's first interview with J Dub, now I always watch when he is here. J Dub does really seem "human", down to earth, and serious about ballin'. For such a young player he gets a lot done, being the second leading scorer on OKC (behind Shai, also a young up and commer that is among the best). Good comment

[@Martyrdomer]

Cause he’s wearing glasses and a hoodie he feels more human 😭😭😭

[@williestyle35]

@@Martyrdomer nah. It is because he speaks with knowledge and understanding of the game.

[@curiositypremiumaccount]

​​​@@williestyle35A little off point but in another comment section there was a debate over who the best NBA brothers were to ever play and everyone went with the Gasol brothers as well so did I. It will be difficult but I could POSSIBLY see the William brothers being the best duo of all time when all said and done. Excited to see what Cody does next year.For JDub I could see 26/7/6 being his ceiling, and Cody maybe a few points less but similar stat line. They're gonna be great.

[@williestyle35]

@@curiositypremiumaccount it very well could be the Williams brothers making NBA history. It is really on Cody, because J Dub is going to make at least a couple of All NBA teams, maybe All Star as well. Still not to the level of the Gasol brothers with multiple NBA All Star games and Pau winning a championship, yet.

First time I saw him on OKC I was like this kid is so active and everywhere. Dude has size, is smart and is taking the game seriously.

[@jgray2718]

I love all these really smart young guys that come on OM3. In future episodes I'd love to see an example of what JJ and the guest are talking about in the background, because while I can figure out what they mean, I'm not marinating in basketball lingo all the time so I don't instantly visualize what they're saying and I'm having some trouble keeping up.

[@MrPixelMonster]

They usually do this on the shorter clips, but I agree they should add example clips everytike

[@johnbrowntheprophet]

@@Smittenriri - I said before the trade deadline that they should trade Josh Giddey, some spare parts to make the salaries match, and draft picks for Lauri Markkanen. He would address their size problem and would also give them even more three point shooting in the starting lineup. It seems like a logical move to make. They’re gonna have a tough time with bigger teams like the Nuggets, Timberwolves, and Lakers.

J Dub is nowhere near the player he will be in a couple of years. That’s what makes this team so fun to watch. These young guys are just scratching the surface and they’re already competing for the top spot in the west and NBA.

[@rubikSpread]

Naive question here: will J Dub's explanations of their actions help defenders guard it better? I rarely see this much transparency and always figured it was intentional as to not give away secrets

[@Who_8MyZaxbys]

Easier said than done to defend it. That offense is full of riddles

[@jhowd78]

It's not an unknown concept so you're not really giving it away.

[@G-Blockster]

The other teams scout their opponents. Good defenses take away the first two options on any play. Good offenses always have counters or one more option for every defense. No secrets are divulged. It's a chess match.
