[@Seabassty]

The way shump hypes up jr is heart warming they gotta have a podcast together so they can see eachother more while getting bread

[@RhavynRedmond]

Yeah, JR & Iman make a good podcast team

I’m from Cleveland. I just wanted to say watching you two leave it all on the floor against the warriors the first year we were in the finals made me proud to live where I live. I know we lost, but the effort and determination you two showed. The no quit, the hustle was really inspiring to watch. Down two of your best scorers, you guys were just like f that, we’re gonna D them up and f the other end. I was proud you guys were repping our city, for real. The effort and focus you two played with on the defensive end was so crazy. Shump chasing curry around those baseline screens was amazing to see, nobody has defended him better than you did in that series. Really Shump, that was really impressive, just know our city will always have a place for you no matter what bro for real 💯. JR the effort you showed that year and the next when we won was so great to see. You would just put your head down and defend no matter if you were even getting a touch on the other end. These Celtic fools should have watched the way you two defended Curry and Klay and maybe they wouldn’t have gotten stomped out. On the other hand, they prolly just aren’t as good defenders as you two are. Just wanted to show my love for you two. Both of you, will always get love from the CLE forever. 💯 Oh, JR great to see you at the HBCU playing golf. Really cool and a good model for everybody.

Beautiful... I am a celtics fan and I agree. It was a great run for that Cavs team.

[@pathofmodernwarrior8470]

When the knicks traded jr I was crushed he had one normal bball mess up but this man has the best 3point hi light tape I’ve ever seen can jump out the gym I can’t sit here and believe that neither of these guys are on a roster both underrated defenders

[@ronnie3613]

JR seems like he’s in a really good place, glad to see his journey and growth.

[@Sclass_Ent]

This was fire, shump and jr were my favorite duo when they played on the knicks. It’s cool to hear their stories and soak up some knowledge, and they funny as hell 😂

[@christiancruz9512]

JR the realest. One of my fave players all time. He came w some real spill when he said everyone been making money of his name, wether it was from playing ball or by things he did and then goes on too say that you’ll never see 12 millionaires be together for so long and nothing happen. Salute 🫡

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

Wouldn’t say the realest. Still struggles to accept he had a brain fart in that game 1 vs Warriors

I love this show. They have a way of making us see their guests in a different light, as opposed to how they are perceived in the media, twitter, ig.. etc. I havr a newfound respect for JR. I love how Ahrii always brings them back on topic too. I also love how Iman says stuff. A1 all around.

Excellent interview and profound advice from a true sage: “You just have to be open-minded to understand that you don’t know everything. For a lot of us, once we’ve done anything once, a lot of us think we’re experts at it… because we did it one time, or did it twice.” -J.R. Smith
