Paolo Banchero on Manifesting His NBA All-Star Goal & Intense Shooting Workouts with Kevin Durant

Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero returns to The Old Man and the Three this week for another amazing interview! To star of the episode, JJ Redick and Richard Jefferson discuss the Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks. Paolo opens up about becoming more of a leader and improving all-around as player in his second year in the NBA with the help of advice from Coach K and Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook. He also shares how he feels he can control his own destiny and manifesting his career goals, from becoming the No. 1 overall pick, being named Rookie of the Year, being selected as an All-Star in his second year, to making the playoffs, eventually becoming an All-NBA player and more. He then shares his experience play for Team USA and how he need to adapt to not being the first option for the first time in his life. Also, he explains how 1-on-1 shooting workouts with Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant last offseason improved his jumpshot.

I'm glad the Magic are doin stuff again and it feels sustainable. I'm a Pistons fan and it's what we've been aspiring for in our rebuild, hopefully we'll be able to find a Paolo-type player in the allegedly weak 2024 draft.

[@dsg4041]

Paolo's draft was allegedly weak. No one was a consensus #1 pick in the media. 2024 draft can easily give you a franchise all star piece.

Don't do it. I like him playing for my home team. We have excellent weather and it's a good retirement place with no state taxes. But honestly I would imagine him going home if Seattle did get another team.

I disagree with RJ a little bit. I think that Knicks team with Melo and Billups was really strong too. I'm not saying he's wrong that this Knicks team is better, I just personally don't feel comfortable saying that about this team.

[@Andre-q5e4m]

SGA has been my favorite player since HS, but he hasn’t earned 1A label yet. Embiid can’t stay healthy to be 1A. Luka’s play style removes him from 1A, his teammates don’t thrive enough under him holding the ball to win the games that matter. Really that leaves Jokic, Giannis, Tatum, Bron, Steph, & Jimmy? Nobody else you feel comfortable can even get you to the dance, let alone win it.

[@NoJustXusOfficial]

Tommy “how long you gotta run it before you whip it out in a game”…PAUSE TOMMY!!!

[@LL-iy7bg]

JJ you r reat,great pod. Can you expose the bad naeative about Luka on the road 73p 7ast 10reb 90% vs Kobi at home 81p in 20p bloe out vs no defense. The Embiid propaganda and shi*ing on ATL defebse. Luka is great

[@holidayarmadillo8653]

You really just tried to say Luka 73 in today’s NBA was better than Kobe’s 81 in a league playing much tougher defense in the mid 2000s. Btw the 81 was not in a blowout win, you don’t even know what you’re talking about that’s the saddest part. Lakers were losing most of the game and Kobe’s scoring pushed them over the top, they didn’t go ahead on the scoreboard until late in the 4th. You must be like 12 years old. That is the most L take of all time.

[@holidayarmadillo8653]

My guess is you started watching the NBA in 2018 🤣 what a true casual

Banchero is given the ball way to much(having a usage 30%) having a 540% true shoot?? you have to give him less of the ball. give it up to Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner. Use more of your bigs instead of Banchero

[@kosongdua9087]

Have you watch magic’s game? Their offense is unwatchable without paolo. Especially when franz was missing game

[@akw23]

If you watched the games then you would know the magic don’t have a point guard. Him and Franz have had to split ball handling duties until Fultz came back from injury. No one else on this roster can play the point aside from Suggs but he’s more of a SG. That leaves Paolo. Then Franz got hurt for like 3 weeks and Paolo had to do everything. Magic had 7 players in out injured for pretty much Dec/Jan. Paolo was playing with the 3rd string & g leaguers. NONE of whom can handle the ball. Once they get a point guard and shooters, his usage will go down a lot.

[@JoseLopez-kv1lr]

@@akw23 wow magic should be trading for a PG then.

[@akw23]

@@JoseLopez-kv1lr definitely need to. We have no spacing and it’s stressful to watch. I doubt we do anything though. Our front office moves slow

[@rudimerm7686]

On nights where Paolo is on, he is reminiscent of the power forwards of yesteryear. Unfortunately, he is inconsistent at being efficient. If he continues being inefficient, he'll end up being another Rasheed Wallace.
