What I like about Conor, he sincerely looks like he's having fun. When he loses, he's a great sport about it. Makes it easy to be a fan. Best of luck the rest of 2024.

[@morekingofthecourt]

CG is truly a great competitor and very genuine.

[@brittanyblassingill]

Love this and love Connor! Just one observation: You guys tend to interrupt your guest a lot when they're in the middle of answering a question. There were a few points I was interested in hearing Connor expand on but he didn't get the chance because he was interrupted and a different point was brought up.

[@philmeyer2367]

Yes! Love CG but let him talk. I get ya'll excited but that first few minutes was a mess.

[@nadzoll]

Yeah, people who talk over other people. Annoying.

[@JeannetteLee-ku7zs]

A few times Jimmy was asking CG questions and TL kept cutting in to answer ….

[@morekingofthecourt]

We apologize. We will work on this for future videos! Thanks for the feedback :)

[@woodsonsanders1112]

@@morekingofthecourt while you’re at it, stop interrupting each other also. Mostly that’s coming from Jimmy.

[@JamesBencina]

Love Connor having someone coach him on the court. Sometimes, he needs to call timeout when things are going badly, and he doesn't.

[@christagecheva1631]

i'd like to add that Connor played those 3.5s like it was a doubles tennis match..he rallied from the baseline while i was at the kitchen the entire time lol

[@supermochithedog6896]

Connor is a cool dude! One of nicest guys in pickleball.

[@morekingofthecourt]

Agreed...such a good guy!

[@TheSourcingSamurai]

Connors enhanced topspin serve is potent.

[@morekingofthecourt]

CG been working on his serve and its impressive!

Let’s see the match! Gotta put it out

[@morekingofthecourt]

We'll need to save it for a special time :)

[@tjbrown333]

Awesome episode. Didn't think I could like CG any more but here we are. Awesome guy!

[@huddy025]

Thank you for the interview, l am now a huge CG fan.

[@klimo13]

awesome interview Connor was a great guest, thanks

[@morekingofthecourt]

CG was great! Thanks for watching.

[@missdayna]

Connor’s laugh is infectious 😂

[@richardwilliams3916]

Great pod guys.

[@B4inSF]

Connor is a great ambassador for the sport!

[@morekingofthecourt]

CG is great!

[@janaadams7958]

Okay now that the dog has come out you need to include in a future podcast…just sayin. 😜🥰. Ps. Enjoyed this pod with Conner 🥰

[@morekingofthecourt]

LOL - one day...maybe. Thanks for watching.

[@donaldmcmahon6046]

Conor is very likeable, and I enjoyed this pod.

[@timpowers8337]

Jimmy quit interrupting its very rude!

[@morekingofthecourt]

Duly noted! Thanks for watching :)

[@thomaswilliams6155]

Great to see rcg. A moment that was awkward, just a tiny bit where dude didnt have your back Jimmy. Im a people and i like Jimmy a bunch. Hes honest and not a people pleaser, like someone else.

[@Uncle-Nacho]

I don’t want to be nit picky, but if you guys rapped your intro, you’d get way more likes.

[@morekingofthecourt]

Jimmy used to be a rapper...this is right up his alley.

[@janaadams7958]

Sadly I understand the Love Connection reference 😜

[@morekingofthecourt]

I think many of our viewers might haha

[@SeaKing66]

I wonder if Conner likes to speed through school zones like Tyler.

[@morekingofthecourt]

I doubt it but he did tell me he doesn't fully stop at stop signs 100% just 98%, so he should prob end up in jail or atleast get a couple retroactive tickets imo.

[@Batessa1]

I will put up $100 prize money for a Jimbo/Sterling (whoever he is??) vs CG/TL match. You guys are terrible trying to bait Connor into talking trash!! I'm an OC guy so I see him around but don't know him. I'm now on a mission to get to know him better. He comes across as a legitimately, nice guy!! I've always been a fan but now I'm even more of a fan. The magic of going on King of the Court.....Increase your fan base!!

[@Batessa1]

But it needs to be put on KZbin!!

[@morekingofthecourt]

CG is one of the best guys out there! Thanks for watching.

[@Batessa1]

Speaking of AJ......Where the heck has he been?

[@jeetkuneball9580]

Perhaps let the guest sit on one side of the table instead of the middle?
