This man 23. Feels like he been in the league ten years

[@prettyboyrickey]

I don’t think that was the point lol I mean just as life aspect you typically don’t think and act the same way you did from 16-23 those are crucial years. Especially since he’s a father too I believe

A full on player podcast discussing the game of basketball needs to get more attention from NBA fans worldwide. Fantastic episode once again. At least something different and more insightful than all the media dramas specifically ESPN.

[@jkashdamoneyman5870]

I think you meant matt Barnes and Steph J old arses still talking about fighting?

[@bigwilly43729]

Y’all come here to get away from ESPN, but do nothing but talk about ESPN in the comments.

[@justiceforjuicy6765]

It has to be the right players with the right personalities though. So many ex players are unbelievably boring, can’t talk the sport and be engaging. Jj is well spoken, has good timing, and a lot of insight as well. Rare to find. This doesn’t work for most players

[@nsmcgirt]

Yea sick and tired of listening and skip SAS, Chris Broussard , and ever other non athlete

[@Clee-dv9jz]

You do need some media to play devils advocate because players are going to ask the questions not exposing the dirt or lockeroom business. I think whatever you feel like listening to that day is up to you. You gotta have the tough questions

Favorite Duke player ever

[@brodericksimpson6049]

I went to a Duke practice my senior year of high school with my team. 2004. A bunch of high school teams were there to watch. JJ was there. Daniel Ewing, Shavlik Randolph, Luol Deng. JJ was dunking with ease. I was surprised to see/find out that Coach K cursed.

[@lancehood7916]

Lol he was Bobby knight alum lol

[@austinlang6946]

That was my experience when I went to Duke basketball camp. Opened my eyes to what good actually was. Went around 2004 as well then 2009. And also all the old heads could flat ball. Collin’s, Dawkins, etc. Sean dockery was the quickest person side to side I’ve ever seen. How JJ reddick came off screens and could get squared in the air. Just a totally different world. One of the best experiences of my life. The stories you get to hear etc.

[@bballwarrior12]

It's because he's created a public persona that doesn't actually jive with who he is. And it seems his players love him but he acts publicly like he's above it all when he's really not. I'd have a lot more respect for him if he just owned who he is.

[@austinlang6946]

@@bballwarrior12 he never pretends he’s above it all. But there’s a difference between the locker room and the public. The players know exactly who he is when they get there. If his players admire him he’s doing something right. Winning isn’t always nice. Not saying you’re saying it is though

[@shanemoye7476]

I really enjoy the real conversations you guys have. Can you have a discussion on what has happened to Duke basketball since the one and done years started? I really enjoyed watching Duke teams for the last 30 or so years and up until @5 years ago it seamed Duke had superior defense, a few dominant players with killer instinct like yourself and Tatum, even Zion, and looked fluid. Even the team with Zion was hard to watch and this year there seems to be a lack of motion, drive, and fluidity. Is it me or is that just the new generation of players? I absolutely loved watching you and Jason Williams, Battier, Brand, and many others dominate despite all the hate. Seems sad we don’t really see that at Duke these days, but they still are winning! What’s your take?

[@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842]

JJ, I'm 38 and went to Duke for 3 summers from 1997 -2000 as part of the TIP program in the summers.. were you in the dorms on East or West Campus? I was at Pegram, Alspaugh, & Bassett and those were amazing summers going to class and then playing ultimate. Cosmic cantina was the spot for amazing Mexican food!

[@carriedavis7949]

I don't know whether it's the same now, but when I was a student there (similar time to JJ), the freshmen live on East Campus, and then everyone moves to Central or West Campus after that. Most of players tended to prefer the Central apartments when I was there.

[@willlazenby1050]

@@carriedavis7949 Thanks for the info, I think you're right most of the student athletes probably want to live in the nicer student apartments. Some of those dorms just hold a special place in my heart, no AC but playing ultimate frisbee on the quad was epic.
