One of the funniest episodes I've seen from a podcast in a long while. Thank you Champs for sharing your experiences with us.
Shump needs to be the constant 3rd person. Him and Melo go mesh perfectly.
Thoroughly entertained! I was stuck! 😭
Diabolical 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
wish kid mero was there. he is the energy guy like shump
@@kginyang I do not care what you wish for fam, I aint Santa clause. Go slide in his Dms and say that to him then. I enjoyed this episode completely.
I’ll never skip an Iman Shumpert interview/podcast 😂
Me neither!!! It's like a celebration
He tells the best stories. I feel like I was at the games he described
Shump need to be a reoccurring guest. his story telling is impeccable 🤣🤣🤣
🤣📠!
kg the best tho.
Oml🔥🤣
Need him to comeback with swish
Not only that but he really made Melo come out his shell more. Melo be standoff-ish alot of the time but he seemed alot more free here.
every pod shump goes on is a hit this has been long overdue
Shump & Teague tell the best stories be having me rolling 😊
Facts 💯 don't forget J.R Smith
💯
No cap.
KG ahead of Teague to me as far as storytelling. Teague just got an impeccable memory lol
Shump on 520 would be crazyyyyy 🔥🔥🔥 was he there for the bron push?
Basketball players have really taken over the podcast space….I love it
The basketball podcast space
42:15 “it’s whatever 5iver! If you say they don’t come LA they don’t 5iver”
shump BDavis Impression is impeccable!
jr smith need to be on the show asap
He be solo fr
OMM
And KG as a guest 😂
they should had them both on this one tbh 😢
@jayshoota72 he is on nightcap every Wednesday night with shannon sharpe
Mero set a good pace in the conversation and was definitely needed for this one
I totally agree it was to much talking over each other the new co-host where really acting like fans/groupies fam
Where Mero at?
@@al-mateenrankins2412they be tryna add niggas and this what happens when you do 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hell nah....he giggles waaaaay too much...shit is annoying AF B
@@terrywilson8240word over basic sentences, he’s laughing like he’s at a roast
As a die hard Knicks fan from Brooklyn, this episode was AMAZING to watch! I will never forget the Knicks Tape era with Melo, Kidd, Stoudemire, Shump, JR, Tyson and Mike Woodson as the headcoach. That squad was A PROBLEM! So many wondferful memories! Love the podcast and keep doing ya thang Champs! All Love
💯
They did Woodson dirty
MELO....OVER A BASKETBALL GAME!!!
Yall aint shit 😂
😂
😂😂😂😂
We need everyone from that moment on the pod
@@en.4392nah deadass!
Yall tripping Rudy dope on this podcast ! He one of the only SF to give all the greats BUCKETS
He an incredible co host and addition. True hoopers hooper
Big facts. Rudy valid
The story he told on bargniani had me crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Facts, bro just happened to be in the era of the SF
I need a Melo, Man, and JR pod 🔥
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Mero got other projects he said he’s working on so he can’t commit to doing it weekly anymore.. my son getting to the bag just incase yall wondering about him lol
Nobody worried bout main man
I was just about to ask about Mero..that’s dope he getting to his bag. But Rudy Gay and Shump is super dope
He told you? I was definitely looking for him
Thank you for saying this. I was wondering what was up
He do not know you😂
It’s kinda nice seeing Rudy gay you always been one of my favorite basketball player. This is a wonderful podcast. I’m super excited. All you guys are together to build this to the bottom to the top. Keep up the good work you guys.
Please get STAT on the show.. it’s a must see.. I need to see Amari, melo, jr and shump all on the couch together
That would be a good one
This a top tier episode. Great energy, laughs, story telling. We need a part 2!
Like I always said, everyone says Melo can’t play defense but you can’t pull up no clips of people just going at him killing him. People just wanted him to be a lockdown defender and he was actually solid when on ball tbh.
Melo only ever played defense under Woodson and when he did, he did a great job 🙏🏻
@@MFCHYLLhe played defense in Denver too. Especially in the playoffs. Go watch that series against the lakers. He wuz locked in. Guarding Kob too
Melo plays defense against players he respects 🤷🏽♂️
Melo picks and chooses when he plays defense. That my guy but wasn't locking mofo's up
Shorty ain’t really ever lock anybody up and some highlighted plays showed he didn’t even try but he WAS A BUCKET. he’s the one that doesn’t need to tire out
KG talks starts at 30:50
I came here looking for this. Thanks!!
Appreciate you 🙏🏾
Cheers to you buddy 😎
Real MVP
🫡
Man, that KG/Melo story was HILARIOUS!!!!😂😂😂😂
Melo the “Pardon the left” champ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Explain
Idk what it means but I’m using it for sure
@@DBake68it’s a variation of pause
@@SDF-oo6kuit’s a sign of disrespect
@@DBake68 it’s like saying no homo
This was the episode I been waiting on since the Pod started lol
Dead @ 43:12 "melo over a basketball game" 😭😭😭
HILARIOUS!!! I replayed that part, like 7 times.
Does anyone else remember Chris Smoove’s 2k15 Knicks MyCareer
Classic
He went crazy lmao
😂😂😂
Number 27 to Number 21
Houston we have a problem 🔥🔥
Pause when shump said "nah im going" that was felt by anyone whoever really lived what he was talking. This was a powerful interview thank you 7pm 🙏🏽
Finally Iman Shumpert. Now we need JR Smith and then Shumpert and JR together.
NBA Live & 2K battles with the Knicks tape was legendary back then in the early 2010's.
Been waiting years for that KG story!! 😂
This Chicago- Brooklyn conversation is EVERYTHING!!!!
As a Chicagoan I agree
Melo had that B-More accent strong 💪🏽 at da beginning of the video.. 😂😂
Need shump on more of these. I still say Knickstape to this day man. Lets go
32:17 aye this moment of confusion 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 priceless
Y’all gotta do the “nasty jersey awards” weekly 😂😂😂😂😂
SHAQ CELTICS THE WORST OF ALL TIME! 😂😂
Melo's energy is so different here. He's actually talking normally. It feels like he's chopping it up with his boys. He was never this free with just Mero.
Cap
@@johnhansenbristow2900 bruh he used his podcast voice with Mero, its not a bad thing its just different. Rud and Shump are probably making him too comfortable.
You comparing over 10 plus years of friendship and hooping together to a couple of years of knowing someone it’s different
@@odysseymack9122 i get that but both versions of this show are products and I'm just making an observation about both. Heck I posted this because someone else commented that it was wack without Mero and I saw it differently
Idk why people are taking what u said as a bad thing lol…Melo talks different around his close friends like everyone does
This gotta be my favorite episode all time. Took me back to Knicks Tape era. That real New York.
The LeBron segment..just shows you how smart dude is picking players
time stamp?
@@Jussiizy1:18
This was an amazing episode! NY Shump was an was an era! What a time. You can tell they could talk for hours about so many topics.. they didn’t even dive into Shump & acting cuz the convo was flowing.. enjoyed this. The cohost didn’t have to end it so quick!
gotta get shump on here regularly! need swish asap too
51:35 "This is the nastiest hug i ever felt!" 😂😂😂😂😂
Man that Knicks squad was so dope
The KG shit talking convo was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Over a BASKETBALL GAME?!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm in tears over here
@19:25 Bruh, why Iman's "Amare Stoudamire" impersonation spot on???? 😂🤣
That shid was 🔥 🤭
Big dawg gotta eat 😂😂😂😂
“Aye shump…..you see me….POCKET” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They talk over each other every time they get excited😂
Part 2 please 🙏 ❤ I've never laughed that much, shump is proper entertainment 👌🏽🤌🏾
No matter what the view count is 300k, 400k or whatever this is the best pod episode to date
I need KG, Shump, and Gil all on one pod together. 😂
That Chicago and New York connection is epic the lingo go crazy shorty
We need the whole knickstape for two hours lmao
8:45 Rudy got melo tight lmfao
One of the greatest interviews I ever watched!!!! S/o 7 PM IN BK!!!
I have never been so entertained with a "conversation" in my life! It's like I'm sitting her with yall! Great episode
Shump is the best story teller hands down! Great interview just cuz of him!!!
This the best episode yall need the whole knickstape over there
As a born and raised Heat Fan I could tell you this that squad they had with Novak chandler, shump, Jr smith, melo , fields, stadimare, ect them boys was supposed to win a chip .That team had crazy talent and started gelling at the right time. Even in the east that had the Derrick rose bulls, pierce and kg and Allen Celtics , Indian with George , hibbert , granger and more . Basketball in the era was different .
💯 we had potential bro, Miami was just a different beast was a great time for the NBA tho for sure
@ no cap bro. I honestly think if it wasn’t for the heat with our stacked ass team y’all would have made it out the east a few times specially after yall beat Boston that year in the playoffs . They broke that team up to fast . Not even going to lie those Knick years was my main team I used on 2k 😭. Them and them green Saint Patrick’s jerseys 🔥 one of the last few good years . Don’t get it twisted nba still my favorite sport but that time of basketball just hit different watching .
@@TagTeamReactions_Jay deadass bro you never lied 💯
Mero missing this one is crazy
What would be dope.. for us Knicks fans.. is to get these Knicks players that you played w on the pod.. stat, chandler, Kidd, Felton, prigioni, Novak, jr etc
Great episode
The ep we been waiting for got shump on the pod 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Where’s Mero at
Season 2 ending should be a knicks tape reunion at the Garden. Melo, Baron, Chandler, Sheed, J Kidd, Shump, Novak, JR, Pablo prigrioni, and coach Woody
Melo got a good interview dynamic. Bro in the burgundy hat bring balance to the show,Melo and Iman could be a coach 🔥🔥😤
BEST EPISODE YET!!!
This one was for the people. Thank you Champ🙏🏽🔥
Felt like i was talking to the boys in the locker room after practice 😂 Chief but if I dont see mero or get an explanation, its wraps.
This is one of the best episodes 🙌
Damn, I was ready to see Shump and Mero interact. Knew he had some Knicks hot takes that Melo prob wouldn’t speak on
great epsiode love the whole dynamic, wish it was 3 hours or more!
SHOUTOUT TO POPS FOR DRIVING DAMN NEAR ASLEEP AFTER DOING 2 GIGS TO PICK UP HIS SON!!! King sh*t right there!!!!
Two of my favorite players, melo and Rudy! THEY ACT LIKE THESE TWO DONT EXIST BUT THEY BOTH WERE VERY LEGENDARY
Love the new editions!
that was very satisfying to watch brought back a lot of memories, salute to Shump and the rest of the Knickstape squad.
Best interview ever.. am I the only one that didn’t want this to end lol
