JD with the ELITE ball knowledge - dropping terms like "revenge game" and then the thorough breakdown of the arena/crowd. This guy is just on an absolute different level. Unbelievable.

[@NBABIT]

A+ sweater JD

[@holden998able]

Respect the Athletic for sending the podcast Goats to Paris. Excited to see Is This Good Podcast next

[@VicerExciser]

Loved this episode, more of a bro's hanging out vibe.

[@benedux]

"The fans here have to work so much harder to consume the game" you're right JD, but thank god we have No Dunks which easily trumps an average NBA game in fun per minute

[@jakedemedeiros9978]

Love that JD and I have the same Costco sweater lol

[@TCannonATX]

That was a Costco sweater? Dude made it look like a million bucks

[@mmurfur]

5/5. We need this level of production for MX City next time, por favor!

[@eanpatrick1786]

Love to see JD on camera as always. Dude is a natural. Stellar content yet again fellas!

[@BenjaminApfelbaum]

I really love this episode (been around since day 1 The Starters). I very relaxed setting and atmosphere, background sounds, the wine, the dialogue between you guys. Don't get me wrong: You do classics day in and day out, but I really liked this one. JD is great in front of the camera as he is behind.

[@grahamblaney15]

Stone cold classic. Great show.

[@benedux]

You would love Danish craft beer JD, Mikkeller is amazing and I'm sure there are lots of other great ones

[@Paulie7777]

Classy fellas 🍷

[@OvieKovy]

Love you guys

[@DocRaunchy]

Happy for you guys. If ever one of you is in the West of Germany ( Cologne area ) , I gladly be your guide. And Copenhagen is worth a visit, as so many places are in Europe in general. Regarding hoops: If Franz Wagner continues to shine, two games in Berlin is a must. Do you agree?

[@beatsbykana]

The most I've heard JD talk basketball! Love it! Haha

[@jkirkpatrick6087]

MORE FRENCH MUSIC on ATL-based No Dunks!!! It sets such a sophisticated mood to watch wedgies and have some larfs! Great job guys 🎉

[@20plum]

I (a Pacer fan) went to the first game and got to see Wemby just dominate my team. Then of course as I'm in another country, the Pacers win by even more. Could've been a 2 game sweep had I not brought the bad juju.

[@samuelmichaels1698]

Hahahaha Skeets with the BANG ON prediction at 39:00! JD hope you feel better soon!

[@20plum]

In general though, awesome experience! Even seeing the Pacers lose, the crowd was going wiiiild. It was amazing to see the next face of the league really shine.

[@armaosk]

Guys, I can tell you, Copenhagen is actually really amazing. The weather is classically disgusting, like in all northern Europe, but the city itself rocks!

[@jaydee771020]

This was a great fun chat to watch, thanks guys! Love that you filmed it at CitizenM, one of my favourite and go-to hotel chains in the world! Not sure which one in Paris this was, but I'll be visiting the Paris La Défense CitizenM in March, so will check if there's a bartender who's into NBA just in case :D

[@turtlenecksweater5389]

Skeets overseas playing that Draymond Green defense

[@juliam620]

Games in Malmö would make so much sense

[@2696andrew]

The fermented shark JD is thinking of is Hákarl and it is Icelandic

[@benedux]

There is also fermented herring called Surströmming in Sweden and I'm sure other nordic countries have their own versions

[@TCannonATX]

This was great. JD in his element. Tons of Spurs talk. A++

[@roderikmeijer7916]

Bercy is an absolute legendary arena in europe for sports and entertainment. Its a hall of fame level arena. Perhaps an interesting question for the next beach steppin episode. Stadium hall of fame you decide how many picks

[@Omzsiddiqui]

I think y'all stumbled upon a new type of classic! A very cool setting with the guys just chatting hoops over a nice bottle of wine. It would be really cool to see this format again.

[@Devon7Landry]

[@SupahMarioBruh]

I’m dead 💀 J.E. HIIMS

[@dawnmusic2002]

Surströmming (fermented herring) is Swedish, but close enough JD.

[@andrewcamarillo5728]

Great stuff, this should be a regular occurrence when you travel (for nba or even non nba reasons). Great vibes here

[@nicholasbuccelli]

Fun episode, cool setting and great international basketball analysis!

[@El-hl7oi]

A French classic

[@Jeffreynelius]

This vid came in clutch for me getting off work appreciate you guys 🙏

[@nickjgodwin]

So cool to hear JD talking hoops. Is it just me or has his disliking of basketball thawed over the last couple of years? He seems to casually mention watching games more (both here and on ITG) and generally seems to have more interest. Burgeoning sicko?

[@gallenaciega]

Trust your gut JD, Morgon is Beaujolais.

[@GG_Beno]

adam silver has great intentions I appreciate him as commissioner

[@kevindoucet3]

Defense is the same word in english and French.

[@boudewijnkerkwijk4695]

Lol the hot annoying neighbor analogy is perfect, JD. My take on Paris as a Dutch guy is you love Paris as much as you love yourself (as a European or otherwise). Pro tip: get out there in the Arrondissements, preferably outside the Péripherie!

[@boudewijnkerkwijk4695]

Amsterdam game 2026 Quinten Post Caitlin Clark Steph Curry Sabrina shootout book it!

[@Matteo_Morgan]

we need more JD. *rings cowbell

[@paulmurphy4925]

Just two guys being dudes. Drink up

[@Raj-o8b8g]

Love it

[@sandertan]

BONUS CLASSIQUE? JE VOUDRAIS!

[@occult.thespians.society]

I curse the guy who introduced the word “activation” to the marketing industry

[@shippley]

Ship some wine back home. You can find amazing value!!!

[@frenchie3167]

Morgon is indeed Beaujolais and it is like no dunks. Dry and yummy.

[@piaandersen3220]

Great conversation … Thank you For your information the word “defence” is exactly the same in French 😂 and the French anthem is the ultimate anthem of defiance and resistance to rally troops, it’s a a rousing anthem that people can sing with pleasure. I believe that the NBA should do an nba game in Europe once a year in Spain,Germany,Uk….. I’m sure it would great for everyone involved.

[@justenkid]

I wonder what the revenue for NBA for 2 Paris games vs say 5 regular season games. Is there a point of doing 15 cities per regular season and every team can go to 1 city per season . Good marketing, great global and boosted a bit of the regular season energy !

[@melian9999]

I was skeptical on Wemby, ive heard alot of hype for a lot of players over the years, if he has a long career for a big he will be breaking records, he is one of a kind, video game cheatcode shit. I have only watched him a few times, and he does something I've never seen everytime, for 7'5 guy. He is special

[@DerekwKimedit]

Great sweater. You guys look too hot. Definitely cleaned up nice in Paris lol

[@dyalander]

Not surprised the mascots weren’t a hit - the French don’t seem to like zany antics. Balletic slapstick (Chaplin/Keaton) sure; they like their mimes with some pathos and drama rather than just clumsy oafery in a big, furry suit.

[@arthurtanguay-labrosse9790]

Morgon is an 'appelation' from the Beaujolais region.So you a drinking Beaujolais.

[@604jackiechan]

BONJOURRRR

[@magicofshootingstar]

Doesn't everyone say Paris is overrated? 😯🤔 I have never been but that's what I have heard too. And no, I'm not Danish but Finnish 😄 Oh and I think you were talking about surströmming, that's a Swedish thing, they are the weirdos 😉

[@danielcruzasor7951]

excellent aesthetics with the place.. horrible looking mouse and mousepad 😅

[@shippley]

Not a bordeaux .......... maybe a burgundy.

[@boudewijnkerkwijk4695]

Ne Dunks Pas

[@dyalander]

There’s only too many three pointers cumulatively - there’s too many games. We all know it. The lack of diversity in play style is only an issue because there’s so many games.

[@0XxDestroyxX0]

It always surprises me you guys don’t care about college ball. Maybe because you didn’t attend college in the US? Anyways loved the content from Paris

[@0XxDestroyxX0]

In college all they do is shoot 3s? What?

[@ryanrobertson9744]

I don’t speak French I thought this was an American pod
