Wiz family needed this… great pod fellas

[@Kidkinsey]

That wall and gortat pick and roll kept us wizard fans happy for years man. Their chemistry was insane Shoutout to gorat, insanely underated center

[@DraftKings]

All-Time Duo 🔥

[@69gvfb]

how many rings did that pick n roll get you? You beat the Raptors though... lol

[@Kidkinsey]

@@69gvfb literally what is the relevance to this comment

[@69gvfb]

@Kidkinsey relevance is that you poor sack of wizards fans need better memories than a 1st round exit team.

[@BlakGift]

@@69gvfb how many cupcakes did you eat though?

[@patrykgregula5308]

what a podcast. these two dudes were my funnel into watching the NBA and falling in love with the sport. As a polish young kid, my dad watching Gortat on the Wizards had me hooked. Then I started to see some guy named John Wall do things on the court I have only seen in games and movies. Fast forward years later I'm a diehard Wizards fan that drives over 4 hours into DC for the games multiple times a year from Jersey. WallStar x Polish Hammer was definitely peak Wizards basketball to me

[@chaike9001]

This was the therapy they needed

[@Kidkinsey]

Mannnn gortat may have to be a mainstay. This episode was legit amazing

[@DraftKings]

🔥🔥🔥

[@agentzero7658]

This was an awesome watch. Playoff Wittman was a thing. The wizards had a crazy good playoff road record with him as coach

[@unreasonabledoubt165]

Scott Brooks brought something different out of John and Brad but they were never as disciplined and defensive since Wittman left

[@agentzero7658]

@@unreasonabledoubt165 true they scored a lot more under Brooks but they were also more mature and seasoned players

[@user-zv1ew9iw7y]

Man this was awesome. This era of Wizards basketball was my all time favorite. Great memories. Appreciate you guys 💯

[@PickpocketJones]

What an unintentionally sad statement that is

[@hippyllamas3368]

Great podcast from Marcin and John these guys need to talk for longer!!

[@moneyman4740]

Crazy to me that John Wall brought all his teammates rolex watches for xmas 2017 and not even 2 months later he gets surgery and u mean to tell me none of these dudes called or came to visit or even send a text ? Wall did not get the respect he should have got in many ways thru his career , dude had every right to be pissed

[@TanNguyen510]

Hearing Marcin talking about him having to push players to work out these days was crazy. The game is losing recipes

[@markjackson9089]

DC needed this! Would love more Wizards deep dives like this

[@OakleytheRottie]

Great guest and podcast.

[@DraftKings]

🐐

[@Kingray2332]

Great interview glad to see John and Marcin reconnect again.

[@Munards]

DC FAMILY WHERE YOU AT??? LOVE THIS INTERACTION.

[@unreasonabledoubt165]

Locked in!!💯💯

[@Joe_Parmesan]

Good stuff! Watching those Wizards teams in the 2010s was a special time for me. I remember going to see them live for the 2013-14 opener in Detroit - it was about a day after Gortat joined Washington. A standout game that they didn't talk about was an overtime game that season, against the Raptors. It was sort of a precursor to the Pacers playoff game that they discussed.

[@cg120bst]

Great trip down memory lane with gortat. Peep John is getting better at podcasting to. More comfortable on the camera asking questions n what not💯

[@carlosmartindelcampo1365]

This was the highlight of the Wizards season!

[@oriolesrule7]

Can this just become Point Game with John Wall & Marcin Gortat & C.J. Toledano? Lol, these two have chemistry on and off the court.

[@PickpocketJones]

That David West game freaking killed me to watch.....

[@JoeWhoJoemama28]

Lmao Gortat had to be talking about Vernon Carey Jr or Isaiah Todd

[@RRBOYCEIII]

Great Conversation!!!

[@WujekZAmeryki]

Dobry czas z Gortatem 🇵🇱🔨😎🫵🏻🤩‼️

[@77lucasclassic78]

Great interview 👏🏽👏🏽 some of the best moments of my life covering John wall playoff era✊🏾
