Kayvon instantly just became a favorite player for me - well spoken dude he should think about doing stuff like this after football. awesome episode guys.

[@vintge]

agreed 🙌

[@SkeeloHendrix]

Mero be dat kid that always follows the Bball team around school & be at the AWAY Games 😭😭😭

[@doromac]

Who wouldn’t be when you got Melo on the squad lol😂

[@Okieant]

You foul for that. My man getting a bag with Melo and trying to make Melo be a good podcaster. Relax with that

[@Kemoclout]

@@Okieant a joke

[@stephon674]

@SkeeloHendrix Lmao nah fr he do give off that vibe

[@rodson2465]

He the bro who got the loud and the hoes

[@mr.b6455]

Melo killed it with that Goats run in packs , we have to appreciate all of our greatness ✊🏾👑

[@ItsOpinionBased]

“Goats run in packs” talk Melo 🔥

[@sugarfoot21]

GOATS don’t run in packs. I have not seen the older players such as Wilt. But from 1980 on, MJ is the best to ever do it and it is not even close which speaks volumes because there are plenty of unbelievable ballers since 1980. Melo being one of them.

[@fentanyljones6956]

Yall have found your rhythm with 7pm in Brooklyn. Fantastic guest, fantastic conversations, great pace, flow, everything. Best 200 minutes of media i’ve consumed in quite some time.

[@TheOGsShow]

Love seeing the OGs give game 💯

[@Matty_Blanco]

Kayvon Thibodeaux need to be the unofficial 3rd host

[@CB86666]

Every episode gets better Big props to yall 👏

[@julianalexander4357]

Dude I'm a bills fan didn't know about this kid but I have immense respect for him and whoever his parents or support system is they did a fantastic job raising an intellectual respectful young man great podcast gentlemen much love to all you brothas

[@ronaldbanogon7913]

FOR ME,KOBE IS THE GOAT,PERIOD.

[@ShareefusMaximus]

Have Kayvon on every show. He fit right in. Good chemistry.

[@Unclekoze]

This a good ass episode fam. Lookin forward to more guests from y’all Kings!🔥

[@OckdaGod1]

I’m still gon say pause but I’m deff adding “Pardon the Left” to my arsenal 😂😂

[@brianjacques5970]

Why is that a substitute for Pause? 😂

[@WhatIsaysGoes]

Two of my favorite athletes ever!!!!!!

[@imanivincent7876]

Kayvon was dope you should have him on once a month

[@RahdyaYT]

For real. I’m from Australia and don’t follow the NFL much anymore but this dude is a special human, thankyou to Melo and Mero for giving him this pedestal! Dude is something else, I don’t think I’ve ever met or heard a 23 year old with this amount of profound knowledge and humility in my life

[@vincentvaldez6459]

Great show this week. Love you Melo you’re the goat 🐐

[@factsbro1130]

Finally a unbiased take on Kd by no surprise one of the greatest scores all time. Kobe said he’s the only one he couldn’t figure out before retiring.

[@markmccaa2221]

The “heHEE” every time I see a magic impersonation kills 💯💀😂

[@bxlegenddeemoney6056]

Love the convo these guys were having it was beautiful to watch and listen

[@OckdaGod1]

I ain’t even know Melo had a podcast too. I’m disappointed in myself my fav Knicks player all time.

[@jonathannewland5082]

I still remember Kayvon Thibodeaux crying tears after winning a regular szn game against Baltimore.

[@almightydatguy]

Melo really becoming a all-round on the cam 💯❤️💯 keep it up brother’s I’m a fan

[@MalMvp7]

Being a former player and a fan of game, I can say when I heard of Kayvon when he was in high school I had to find out more abt this kid. First thing I came across was how he plays chess all the time, not for the sake of the game but for what the game represents and that’s Life! He is a brilliant mind. People mistake him for arrogant and he is not. He is very humble and knowledgeable for a 23 year old. I’m happy he is on my Giants and he is only getting better. We will get a DC this year that is going to unleash him and he will become the best edge rusher in the league within the next couple of years

[@coachtdors]

As a basketball coach who works with A LOT of high level guys, and future NBA prospects, this has been the best episode I've seen so far. Kayvon dropped so many gems for them to hear.

[@Rayne35]

Man this was a W show like always but this was a ep i really needed ro here far as motivation we need more of you three again

[@ill-nois2282]

KD is one the greatest scorers in league history, give that man his flowers.

[@Merlyn17]

7PM in Brooklyn got the Drew Walls co-sign 😂😭😭

[@smoovegittar]

Another great show. Appreciate!

[@gangwork7463]

Always insightful listening to the young Legend KT💯

[@Beastmodejh]

So Glad the Giants got a player and person like KT

[@07sjeanlouis]

This my favorite episode for sure and definitely making way to my favorite podcast

[@MrJustind886]

I heard of Kayvon Thibodaux from Oregon where he was a beast its just translated over to the Giants. This is the first time hearing him speak hes very well spoken and intelligent. Melo and Mero you may have found another co host he fits in with you guys very well. The chemistry is there. Something to think about.

[@preppywilliams8212]

i luv how 7 givie his to his baskeball family

[@giannisgkionis7795]

[@onlinemoneymaking400]

Straight 🔥 as a true new york fan for life I thoroughly enjoyed this show.

This was great insight from Carmelo breaking down the dynamics of the Olympic team.

[@Jblack920]

49:02 “🥷🏽ankles was tapped already” 49:04 “yyoooo he tapped em at the crib” 😭😂😭😭😂 im weak

[@milomilo2479]

Never heard of him before since I don't watch football but Kayvon is very intelligent. He reminds me of what I was taught when I was younger & we both around the same age. You got a new fan now Kayvon 💪🏾🔥

[@RockWILK]

Great show. Empathy is everything.

[@billynewyears3044]

YURRRRRRRR. WE IN HERE

[@zone3111]

Kd is one of the greatest as a scorer. For me its more than offense. Its the way you will your team to win. Impact on your team, impact on your competitions, impact on others. 1. MJ, 2. Wilt, 3. LBJ, 4. Kobe, 5 Russel

KT!!!!!!!! Keep going!!!!!!!!!!

[@SetThaHookD]

This podcast is straight Fire Real Conversations Nuggets being dropped Melo & Mero got the best spot

[@roanm7987]

A GOAT is someone who can dominate the competition and get the job done without having to team up with other superstars. A player who gets throw into the deep end but is able to will himself and his team to a victory.

[@JoshZlaket]

Carmelo: "I asked you a very specific question.." 😂😂😂

Kavon is the Truth , this generation needs Kavon protect my dawg 👑… #PassRushFamily

The only podcast I watch

[@RegD1994]

Melo holding the coffee mug the whole episode and there’s nothing in it. Taking product placement to a new lelvel 😂

[@jeterw75]

He got some of that Tequila in there sipping it very slow as he spit that knowledge.

[@Milio_FL]

Dope guest ✊🏽

[@Marx1684]

GOAT stands for something, and has somehow become such a whimsical term 5:13

[@felixangelmartinez268]

Favorite episode so far. I need to see Melo vs Kayvon to 11 lol

[@Ho11is2Ho11ywood]

You out here advocating for the death penalty

[@brennonday7032]

[@yoowuzgud]

Kayvon needs a podcast of his own

[@triigatrell181]

Bruh this a dope ass podcast

KT is the man. Los Angeles legend!!!!!

[@vik_731]

Them offwhite 5's goin crazyyy

[@Jaedin7]

We need Kiyan on the pod

[@kanokadafi]

Yo know Melo is a real New Yorker, comes over and hangs for an hour plus, never takes off his jacket or the beanie, lol.

[@user-ml4ky7px8g]

Melo you funny as hell “ ayoo why you keep calling draymond out?”

[@dylanisaac6254]

Melo I hope you can pull some strings to get that man to B-More we need him #Ravensflock

[@Mk5VW]

Respect Kayvon for speaking tf up on behave of saquon that he should’ve been paid first before Daniel jones !!

[@Jblack920]

1:08:19 Bruh speaking facts, drop them gems 💎

[@matttheknicksfan]

all kd "needs" is a couple more rings. individually, i dont believe theres 5 players better than him at the game of basketball but in terms of the full resume with the trophies and media awards, 2 rings is kinda light for a guy to go from the general top 10 to mt rushmore/goat convo. 4 scoring titles by the age of 25 is insane and nobody talks about it, and you could actually play some defense back then. obviously he's an all time olympian. his skillset is 2nd to none, we see he's mad influential to 7' or "6'10" players, this next generation is the kids that looked up to him. if he wins 2-3 more rings by 2027 thats 4-5 in a span of 10 years and a clear argument can be made that those 10 years were the "durant era" EVEN WITH most of em being post achilles surgery and the nba's talent level being at an all time high

[@matttheknicksfan]

most people probably dont even have him in the top 10 but he's a lock for me. ik kd always get shit for not following imaginary rules but ya be wasting too many of those top 10 spots on centers that played against 7 teams 💀 they're not fw easy money

[@215campa2]

Easy Money Sniper....HIM 🐐

[@matttheknicksfan]

@@215campa2 facts its a shame people jump thru hoops to belittle one of the most skilled hoopers we've ever seen

[@manumalia]

I pretty much agree with the whole thing you said. He’s scratching top 10, but Mount Rushmore is another conversation at this point.

[@ofasanmi7511]

KD is HIM but I don’t see him winning another ring. He can’t lead a team to the mountain top which is why he keeps moving around.

[@RichYork]

I was at the nets game when we could not a game winner against Charlotte and I definitely did this 👉🏾1:47:06 😭😭

[@czt168]

Waiting for you Melo😊

[@comprende9135]

KD will receive DPOY towards the end of his career. I’m calling it now. And that will give him undeniable goat status

[@Wavesdontdie]

Magnificent show, Kayvon is wise beyond his years and is becoming one of my favorites. He's insightful, calculated, intellectual and very engaging. 💎💎💎 May God continue to order his steps, keep him healthy. May many young men take after his example. Mero you did well with you fanalysis (fan+analysis) on what the Giants front office should do. You was fly in them Off White 5s ✈✈✈ (God bless the dead RIP to our brother Virgil.🙏🙏🙏) Melo, I'm glad that moment of clarity happened for you. As a giant among giants and a legend among legends, you deserve all the acknowledgement, validation and reach a your catharsis on an amazing career. P.S. Are those some custom Jordan Airships or is that the new Awake NY Airships!? Those were fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@Onlycanbeme1]

Where's this week's episode? I caught the trail end of the latest premiere. When are the episodes uploaded? I know it premiered this Thursday

[@ThisThatNdThird]

"Nowadays we DM girls." Mero hit em wit that Chance The Rapper energy "Who?"😂

Last gem in the glove was a bar

[@WhatIsaysGoes]

KT!!!!!!! Los Angeles legend!!!!!!

[@amoney7176]

Dude looks like a older version of Bronny James

[@Jem-pq5tx]

Love this. Despite dudes being 89% saused, they got some good thoughts out.

[@philipcampbell3167]

Mero is right about my Giants O-line!

[@ofasanmi7511]

KD is a GREAT hands down!! His only flaw is not winning at another team. GS won a chip before his arrival (2015) and after his departure (2022) which is why the KD topic will always be debatable.

“Understanding is Overrated when it’s manipulation” That’s 🔥 I was gonna try an hate on this statement because of what you said about Draymond but this is some real shit. Real quick, my question is WHY would you deal with someone you will manipulate or is manipulating you!!?
