Matt Barnes gets real on fatherhood, NBA egos, and launching an award-winning Podcast | S3 E4

Matt Barnes has really been about that life in the NBA. From navigating the league as a journeyman, to finding his voice on the Clippers - amidst the circus that was their former GM, Donald Sterling, to landing his first NBA Championship as an OG on the Golden State Warriors. And now, owning his role as a father.

The interview with Matt was sooooooooooooooooo good. I actually love hearing him speak. He is open and honest and doesn’t holdback.

[@mayrao123]

Matt Barnes is one of my favorite players to listen to! He’s mastered story telling and is a real conversationalist. 👌

[@harmenbaidwan8715]

The pod has very quickly become one of my favourites - not just for the consistency or as a fan of the sport, but I love the way Andre and ET can keep the flow of conversation natural, on topic, and insightful. Please keep it up, I hope to continue following for seasons to come.

[@pointforward]

We appreciate you 🙌🏾

[@iluvdissheet]

Same... Ima GS fan so I know all about Iggy but learning about Evan has really helped me understand the League. S/O to old man and 3, P Podcast, even Gil....we NEED these stories and perspectives!

[@barberciscobarberfranky6354]

Wow!! My salute to my guy Matt Barnes. Maturity is beautiful to see.

[@MrSeebass89]

Thanks for giving it a shot! Was definitely fun to watch (as a veteran player)

[@mikemikeyee]

His run with us his last year was so good. You can tell those early years after his retirement sucked, but so glad to see him turnaround and embrace that time and his part in getting the ring

[@timthompson2406]

As a Chicago kid proud of yall bros for making it out and making a way 💯

[@pointforward]

🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@tonyfknb3896]

Im loving the clips you guys are adding to the podcast, videos, photos, highlights and articles. To give more context to us viewers. That is something no other show is really doing. But i really appreciate it that, especially because im a visual person and a visual learner. So seeing things like that and that Matt Barnes UCLA article, being able to read it and get the backstory is awesome. Keep that shit up. Def making y'all unique

[@blakelimon1144]

The Mo Cheeks story was incredible. So glad he shared that. I listen to all the All the Smoke eps and always wondered why he had beef with Mo lmao.

[@lcx3011]

This is honestly SO SO GOOD! Thanks for the gems always

[@pointforward]

[@elismith335]

Lmao ET face about, Matt smoking with his KIDS was fucking FUNNY!!!

[@pointforward]

🤣🤣

[@elismith335]

Mad respect for yall to reply and like my comment 👏. But yeah that was funny, I had to rewind back because I am at work and thought I was tripping when I seen your face lmao. As a smoker my self, I remember the first time I smoked with my dad. And that was different but fun and funny at the same time. Lol..

[@tomkin25]

​@@pointforwardI had the same face!!!! Absolutely not!!!!!

[@nicholasrose4448]

Loved the interview, love the pod. I enjoy hearing your insight from not only a players perspective but also your overall opinions and views have been very insightful and I enjoy hearing your thoughts. Keep it up and thank you.

Give that man his flowers! 😂

[@OBJ317]

Iggy & ET. Love the pod brothers. I’m spending this season traveling around the league to see my favorite players live. I hope to get to meet you both. + me & iggy share the same name. I know dre mentioned he was tryna go to a few games this season, maybe he can drop a gem for us point forward listeners & you guys can do a live show so we can meet you guys. I know I’d travel for it for sure.

[@pointforward]

Much love and appreciation 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@V190r]

Production is real great on this one. Would you ever get bogut on. Would love to hear you talk past games with him, he was one of the 3 headed defensive monsters and you and draymond

[@matthewskelton6293]

I would love to keep seeing retired players on the pod who have ventured into business. Creates such a cohesive episode

[@leronnspaternalpresencepod5247]

Always liked Matt's game. He fits on any team.

[@corymc1x654]

This interview really let me see that Matt need to just let Stephen go live his dream of being a street ninja

[@nathanaeljohnson673]

"BLOCKED BY JAMES" great episode Iggy and ET. I'm now subscribed!

[@kengieholley410]

I love what yall guys doing. Always been a fan of these three guys. Dope interview! 💯

[@torispeaks2718]

Love the podcast, please add time stamps y’all

[@pointforward]

We will be working on it for new uploads. Usually hoping to have them a day or 2 after launch

[@silewis9396]

35:17 Andre remembering Matt threw him to the ground 😂 that shit is wild

[@pointforward]

🤣🤣🤣

[@pc-nq6ws]

Loved the interview but for the first chunk I felt like I was watching a commercial for weed 😂😂

[@FIVEPONY0]

Great show with a great guest

[@kabadyundi]

Love this episode! Hoping to see Thasunda Brown Duckett sit down with y'all this season! 🙏🏾

[@Dre_Key]

If I could pick 1 NBA player to have a convo with about the league besides KG, it would be Eagle Dollar! Bro has some of the best insights and he probably holds back 95% of things he knows

[@benjaminjames8146]

15:11 Evan Turner doing some internal work!

[@pointforward]

🤣🤣🤣

[@clutchcity25]

26:04 Evan can't believe it.

[@yoyoyoyooooo5807]

Get an interview W QRich an Darius…. The real trailblazers!!!

[@tylerlizola495]

Shouts to JJ having the first pod before everyone

[@4pfdthang118]

W pod

[@sfrancisco]

It’s not about you the players not taking it seriously. It’s about the NBA getting more viewers in the beginning of the season = $$$$

[@twinzur5326]

Matt Barnes makes zero eye contact while talking LMFAOOO

[@BA22378]

Matt making andre look small Jesus 😂

[@Ford9065]

Barnes has no time to wait for Evan to get his questions out of his mouth, cut him off both times, lmao

[@rokutime2627]

Any chance you guys can add timestamps? I'll subscribe.

[@DopeNotHere]

10:48 Hell nah he can’t outs score him 38 to 18 is a dramatic difference 😮‍💨 .. Bron had the East in HELLLLLLLL

[@orlandobarrett15]

Sounds like Mau made you better Matt. Maybe he saw something you didnt see.

[@Gonergrat]

Is sports betting going to corrupt the game? Or has it already been corrupted by sports betting?

[@clutchcity25]

It already has.

[@sticktothescript107]

A biggie and Pac situation in the NBA 😅 Steph knew that Austin knew who did it but Austin denied it know Steph turned in a rider aka a shooter

[@ajlivereacts]

At no point did steph outscore lebron in the finals...let alone kyrie... and as great as kd is, if you actually look at the numbers, he didn't outscore bron either. @PointForward

[@circleof54ths18]

Boston lost twice already and has no bench and Jrue is streaky in playoffs

[@lalomex1123]

Is it me or Matt and Evan don't fuck with each other? Zero eye contact type shit

[@TheKidBuu5]

when did the sixers have a bad game & the celtics did lose

[@pakohung4509]

[@jpk8529]

does matt barnes shoot so well without that encounter? i think not. does matt barnes think all people are evil? i think not. does someone think someone else is evil? yeah it happens a lot. if matt barnes still thinks that old man was a hater, then maybe it was cos that old man saw how that was all that barnes was feeding on. so he fed him hate, and barnes became an nba champion, because he saw it didn't break his bite. bitin barnes, what happens when he finds those that fed him hate, and show, he don't bite back, what happens when he confronts those people from the past like that?

[@TechJay-tu9ps]

Cap Steph couldn’t have won by himself if he could’ve he would’ve did it in the first place instead of choosing the east route by adding KD. Hold Steph to a standard too

[@ralami6183]

Evan was talking a lot of nonsense early on in the pod.

[@joshuasheard9776]

Matt Barnes… who cares

[@kengieholley410]

There always gonna be a jealous hater but you on watching this podcast, keep your negative energy!!

[@KCRD11]

Respectfully we don't need this duo

[@antwanscriven7152]

I stop being a sixers fan once you left, don’t let that go over your head

[@wuzzy87]

How you a good father and a dope fiend

[@kengieholley410]

Keep your negative energy!!

[@kengieholley410]

Wuzzy87 he's a millionaire with a good family. What u doing? Sitting on your computer at your grandma's house 😅
