[@McPitogyros]

Keep Sue fresh at all costs. Amazing, not only as a basketball player but as a person!

[@theyJC]

Love to see all these supportive comments here, where y’all at on twitter? lol

[@fernsmp9416]

Never thought of it before, but now that they brought it up, Sue Bird is really just a cool human being, and should up there on the top list of people, not just athletes. And as Tommy said, if they do another 5 hours with Sue (just on Russia alone or any other topic), I'd look forward to it. Sue+OM3=👍👍👍

[@coolerthanaokiji4028]

Great job JJ!!! I grew up on 80s and 90s NBA... You truly represent that same vibe with the range to roll through this new NBA. Definitely my favorite podcast.. period. Tommy and you have excellent glow with everyone.

[@naaae3]

[@rodaxel7165]

[@l23cb4]

Proud Raptors fan, so happy that they're being shouted out a lot on the pod! :)

[@clarabettio9524]

[@sarachavarro8861]

The GOAT, keep Sue fresh 🙌🏻

[@theressak]

Sue Bird is the she-goat!!! So don't get enough recognition!!! Can we please get a series of shoes?? My 13 year old son even want some!!!

[@philliphopkins6268]

Love the podcast, and Sue Bird is awesome

[@jonroman624]

JJ/ Tommy, loved the episode but it had in my opinion too many ads. Felt like we were getting hit with an ad every 2 min. Not cool.

[@triciamckinnon]

This podcast was really excellent 💕

[@elliemyers6435]

This is interesting....It seems this interview took place really early in the WNBA season, before Sabrina got hurt....I like Tommy, but I'm not sure Sabrina will ever be as big a deal as any star Yankee player....Like, she'll be bigger than good Yankee players, but I'm not seeing her being a bigger deal in NY than Cole, Aaron Judge, players like that. Her getting hurt also REALLY hurt her momentum, which is a real bummer, because there was so much excitement around her and her in NY. It also hurts that the Liberty aren't any good, and it's unclear when they will be good. (Sidenote, being the Liberty in the WNBA bubble would be absolutely brutal....losing more or less every game and being stuck there and not being able to detach would be miserable) To really get to top notch popularity you have to win, and it's a little hazy as to when the Liberty will be competitive. Maybe next year with Sabrina, Asia Durr back, Kia Nurse and another lotto pick, but, who knows.

[@lonewolfnh89]

another amazing podcast.

[@felipestrm]

great content, thank you! fan of the wnba bc of her

[@tristyevely3798]

I was raised a Duke fan and have family from Roanoke, VA, J.J.'s hometown. It's interesting to listen to Coach K and J.J. Redick's political and social stances. It's my understanding Coach K was a Jesse Helm's supporting Republican (I don't really expect people here to understand that reference) has been more progressive over current social issues. And J.J. saying he wants this country to be better and having the conversations they had on this podcast, helps me see him in a different light which I appreciate.

[@heshamaldhahiry95]

Jesus this interview somehow has alot of commercial breaks lol

[@Dani0Jo]

There really is. I'm 10 minutes in and I've had 6 ads.

[@jtothecass9859]

I thought it was just me

[@gorillausc]

Yes. JJ is great, but the ads are reddickulous!!! Not OK.

[@embrya26]

Dude the ads are annoying af.

[@davidbkg6155]

It's how they make the most money off the content. Get KZbin premium and u won't ever see an ad

[@Nick_A_Bacher]

Too many ads😡😡

[@altonlee103]

Please JJ or Tommy ask Sue to set up a pickup game with the rims at 9'6" (precisely) and film it. Just a 20 min half. IT WILL CHANGE THE WNBA

[@blakespadaro2313]

Sue is so hot and so beautiful

[@silkysenor]

Too many adds! JJ you know you don’t need that KZbin money that bad for all of these commercials

[@brianlee9305]

U guys should have Kemba on here just for the sake or rivalry

[@hishamziard8473]

Legit. Wish I could see Kemba on more podcasts

[@dildowpickle3580]

I only know who sue bird is because I made a jump shot and her jumper was her base

[@davidloera2069]

TO MANY ADS!!!!!!

[@rjatencion]

disagree... i LOVE team continuity but could be cuz i'm old!

[@skin06]

The monetisation of these videos makes them virtually unwatchable

[@jan279]

Am I the only one who thinks she looks like JJ's sister? lol

[@AS-hx4ch]

🤬 ads!

[@maganaga1767]

🔥🔥🔥

[@blakespadaro2313]

Sue Bird is really really hot

[@Shzzaam]

I legitimately didnt know WNBA had a bubble lol

[@brendanbloom3366]

I mean the games have constantly been on espn

[@ishmaelm1932]

Once they lower that rim, WNBA will have a lot more viewers because the competitiveness will increase. This will generate demands. Idk why the NBA hasn't thought this through. I wanna see some slam dunks.

[@gunselshaly537]

Can't erase centuries of sexism and misogyny by lowering rims. Quit with that whiny nonsense.

[@tonyperkis420]

You could lower the rim to 6 feet and nobody will watch. There is nothing you can do to make women's basketball interesting

[@norimarshall7926]

The languid caterpillar radiographically brake because grandmother namely flower amongst a parched trigonometry. hateful, graceful pajama

[@canvas5095]

Okay Dianna, How can you ask for equality, when NBATV showed a promo for the WNBA using clip of Cardi B's latest disgusting video denigrating women. Talk about that!

[@scrungy3540]
