Like the podcast . Keep it up . Can't believe Bron got a podcast with jj.. jj should of been on the cavs an Lakers... Bron needs to be surrounded by 3 point shooters. Smh 🙄 jj an j.r an Kyrie man that's 🔥 from 3 .. be all over that 🍞 like seasame.
Take the silly headphones off, you look like ET...
When you got the job already but they keep having rounds of interviews
i been here before
You mean as Lebrons mascot and scapegoat?
Yeah... perfect job for JJ on the Lakers.
@@Smido83I don't see no scapegoat y'all the ones pushing that narrative everyday.
He won´t be the Lakers coach
@@damianpresha9833
Luke Walton, Frank Vogel, and Darvin Ham since LeBron joined. Should be firing pelinka and LeGM.
its nice being able to talk to your coach and have a good relationship basketball wise...
they look like teammates 😄
Yeah... JJ is lucky his boss likes him.
Unless Lebron needs another scapegoat after loosing early in the next PO.
Damn Didn’t think I’d get this many likes
Bron isn’t on the Lakers lmao. Hes a free agent
@@Smido83😂😂😂
Bro, that big ahh water bottle came out of nowhere 😂😂😂
Gotta get that Nike and Uninterrupted branding in by fire by force
"Americans"
With bron being 6'8". That is must be huge.
Have you met tall people in your family or is there none. They consumption is not that different from other weights. Depends on how much you are doing and releaving @pumelelabanca1442
Hahaha I know right
JJ asking that question was the podcast equivalent to an alley-oop.
5:16 seems like Bron wanted to sing "I believe I can flyyy" 😂😂
I said the same thing 😂
Hell naw 😂😂😂
Pause
ahahaha
😂😂
The best way to defend Luka is to not talk trash and lastly and the most important is to pray😂😂
Nah. GG Boston fans made shirts "Luka su**ck" and "Kyrie su**ck" i guess they dint learn nothing. :/
Celtics won't say a word.
@@chiggsytubebut their fans will
@@Zomo58if not, the mavs org BETTER have some agent provocateurs dressed up in full blown celtics gear to do that 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Zomo58right boston players are actually humble, its the fans that will fuel luka and kyrie 😂
That time came guys, we went from seeing Lbj in the every finals to see talking him about finals
Yeah, to his head coach 🤣
That’s what happens when he isn’t in a superteam in a weak Eastern conference , no easy path to the finals. Sad but true.
people always as some to says hes the greatest and he will be back to final before the end of is career him and steph will get ring 5 together lets get it
Dawg your sentence gave me aneurysm
Dang this kinda sad! ‘03-‘24 what a time man. Cheers
bro they even bought high def cameras so they can look each other in the eyes and glaze in best quality lol
Bot stealing top comments.

Im not the biggest lebron fan but we cannot deny he is special and we are really blessed to have had him in our time
That’s the jordan fan effect…we can’t just say lebron is a basketball savant without saying yea but Jordan’s better 😂
@@jesseouellet8496cause he is.
@@jesseouellet8496lol news flash he ain’t fucking with Jordan. Look at this JJ reddick bullshit tryna control narratives ima Die hard laker fan but this shit has stop lebron is a diva takes no accountability he needs to retire. He can still play basketball but he’s not tryna take less money to make his team better so what’s all this for if he’s not really trying to win
@@JoeNeelynice job proving his point
Right lol @@FeaRDirTy
Lebron looks like fkn AI lmao “ah ah ah” when he laughs at the beginning got me 💀
lookin like a good meme template
@@YouCanCallMeReTrohis true legacy
5:16 He starts out sounding like R Kelly. I was waiting for him to say, "...I can fly!"
I bet that’s how the song started, and someone just blurted out the second part. Likely they were all on drugs 😂
That's a big ass water bottle 😂
That's bc it's a gasoline jug

I swear I thought Bron was going R Kelly there 😭😂
DONT YOU EVER DISRESPECT LEDIDDY
piss on his wife? box checked
Lebron out here drinking a fucking fire hydrant.
😂😂😂😂😅😅😅 damn 😂
I think he been had it since the first video haha it was on the floor I think.
@@ANDRE1mang good eyes, man. LeBron had that freaking massive thing somewhere on set, every time he was in the same studio as JJ.
Luka will eat Jrue. Too small. Dort is wide as fuck
Like Butler did
Jrue's probably as strong as Luka. Luka's only slightly stronger. He might get a few stops here and there.
@@patbenz4327 Luka outweighs Jrue by 30 lbs. Jrue might be strong but, over the long run, physics don't lie. 😆
Jrue is also the 5th offensive option…
Probably will be Brown and Tatum taking turns as the primary defenders on him. And also both attacking him on the other side. With Jrue and White double teaming from the weak side... ain't gonna be an easy series for Luka Magic
Love your talks. Looking forward to what else ya do
We are literally witnessing a future top10/5 player of all time, luka diffrent.
I personally don’t see multiple rings with this current Mavericks team for Luka. He might not win one if they don’t get it this year. He gonna have to leave and get a better situation if he wants to be in the Top 5-10.
I personally think the mavs is bout to 3 peat 🤷♂️
@@goatboy1827Mavs not 3peating with PJ Washington as their 3rd option in a West that has had a different team representing it in the last 6 Finals lol
@@goatboy1827sorry bro but you’re delusional. Luka and kai are good but this league is too developed for anyone to dominate in this era
I'll say get Siakam next season and maybe Haliburton once Kyrie is nearing retirement. Then look for decent bench guy that could score in volume and another spark plug that maybe could handle the ball when the stars are resting.
We've seen great defense against Luka. It's called a Box-And-One with Andrew Wiggins on Luka. It's too bad he lost all of that fire that made him special for that one season.
These comments to JJ are harsh. He is a likeable guy and I very much like the decency in his analysis. No exaggerations, no screaming. But hey, this is the internet.
Very nice analysis. I love it.
Ever since gils arena said this was a public coaching interview, I can't unsee it
JJ isn't getting the job. both lebron and jj know this
@@amberbailey8241 You seem to be the only idiot in the world who couldn’t see it lol
There is not an nba show out there as educational and entertaining as watching and listening to these 2 consummate professionals. Great school of basketball. Definitely enhances watching the games. Great job guys. The best podcast!
Enjoy the show . Fan of both of you guys. Dukie at heart too.
Great genuine conversation.
The best way to guard this era pick and rolls with the 1 and 5 is you switch the five 5 prior to the pick. There's a moment in time when the Offensive 5 is setting the screen and, there is about a 1-2 second gap where the ball handler makes a decision. So what you do depending on the side the pick is you send the 3-4-2 while the big switches to the wing or corner. To stop Celtics make them run sets where the first and second option is broken. They run on a metronome when the beat is broken they are broken as a team. Would love a job! Please contact
I say it’s the prey defense, I’m just gonna prey he misses
Pray*
These guys together is just gold
Thanks for this podcast ! Real breath of fresh air in the espn polluted world we live in 😮💨
Lakers job interview be like
Job interview for coaches?

Look at this team bonding during the offseason
Nothing better than a podcast about pick & rolls
Best way to defend Luka is turning to jesus
Huh 😂 you call me. chitown 1luv 💙💯🙏🏿✊🏿
Or get steals...
they talk about loka as if he is the best player in the league....spoiler (he is)
In what metaverse?

Solid analysis by LeBron and JJ 👏
they out here giving the blueprint for celtics 😂
Podcast inteligente. Parabéna LBJ e JJ.
Nobody talking about LeBrons head growing ala Barry Bonds
Lebeautiful with the offseason hair
LeBron a fan of the game and appreciates great talent.
Luka stats:
Close out games: 31.9 PPG
Elimination games : 35 PPG
Game 7’s : 40.5 PPG
Playoff averages on career : 31-10-9
wow!!!
this might be the best podcast ever
lebron and jj the two head coaches of any team would been amazing. the firs pick and pop coaching machine.
Facts. Blitz and scramble and hope for the best. But 1 on 1 it’s ov
The most effective way to guard luka, is to make him shoot wide open three don't contest.
Haha I swear this is true
Then he won't shoot them and he can make easy passes
They all guarded. Because luka is open. @@HughMorristheJoker
Sometimes he get hot hands, you can't really leave him open. If he can't hit 3s, you know he can hit swish mid rangers too. He's hard to guard, he has a better tempo control than James Harden, James is hard to defend too.
Luka doncic is basically pick your poison overall when you guard a guy like that because he's also a very good passer and get his teammates open shots overall.🏀💯
Imagine going on a Pod with your coach after getting smashed by 30 😂😂😂😂 2025 gone be fun
This is actually pretty informative
Thank you for recognising Dort. He did as good of a job against Luka as possible. Looking back, OKC are built extremely well. If they could only get more from jay Dub next to Shay, they'll be in conference finals for years.
Comments show that this is NOT for casuals. Yall dont even know wtf they talking about and its evident.
This pod is for TRUE ballers and not fans. This is for the future and current coaches and players who aspire to understand the game on a higher level.
Fans will come here and troll by being hyper focused on irrelevant bs.
Exactly
bro stop yapping
talking basketball plays tactics is different
Convince him to hire one of his mates as coach
They should help the mavs as well. They should talk about how they would defend Celtics offense , if they were Kidd.
luka actually started to take a page out of kyrie's book and run away from blitz double-teams, kyrie does that a lot, thats why teams dont really double-team him often because he can get around you or split.
The show is better when you are both in person
(0:38) Athlete water-bottle!! hahaha I want one now for my key-chain lol
Mexico taught me that cold water is much more important than I thought ... without it, recovery doesn't happen so well ... temperature is important
They're gonna be blitzing at least 80% of the time, and the Mavs will accept playing 4 vs 3. It's gonna be one hell of a finals series this one
Is that a public coach interview? 😶😶😶
This is the time I know I am getting old when LbJ is doing commentary with JJ Reddick
LUKA MAGIC ✨✨✨
I'm sure the Celtics coaching staff are glad to get two great basketball minds give them ADDITIONAL INTEL on how to beat the Mavs. To keep it fair you should do a video that helps the MAVS guys. Sheesh.
Bron is 100% on point with blitzing after the switch, particularly in final 2 minutes of quarters. While you obviously can’t do this most of the time because of needing to switch it up, you absolutely do this in crunch time because decision making when there is hesitation involved plus going deeper into the shot clock in crunched time what I would bet as the defense
It's probably the best option, but you still have Kyrie right there to get a bucket.
People think this is a podcast, in reality it’s an extended interview for jj to get that lakers job 💀🙏🙏🙏
"He gets the hostage, puts you in jail" 🤣🤣🤣
This like Shawn Marion trying to help you with your shooting firm
Let's not forget about Kidd. I wasn't too sure about it when they hired him as coach but it looks like he was a really good fit for Luka
Theres a merit on switch then blitz. But everyone knows hes either gonna pass it to lively or the corner 3. They coudlve forced the corner 3 but im pretty sure they wouldve wanted that 2 instead. Ties the game and gives you chance to win in OT.
I just watched Gil make this exact same point and everyone is roasting him for it
Bro it’s takes JJ Redick ten minutes to ask a question lol
Coach JJ🏀🏀🏀
Watching this after watching McCants and Arenas is like night and day
Because Gilbert Arenas switches back and forth between "inside info about other players (rumors), some light general basketball analysis, and joking around while pleading for a coaching job - and McCants mostly talks about himself. Neither LeBron or JJ is interested in talking about less than the game, and games within the game, and how players or coaches can effect the game •
Go under and pray he’s off from 3😭
EXACTLY!!!!! why don't players understand this. Always go under the screen and pray to God he misses 😂
That wouldn’t work cuz it’s a rare moment when he don’t catch fire 🤣 he shooting mid/terrible but still scoring at a high level while being defended IMAGINE you leaving his ass open🤣🤣that’s lunch meat
naaaah, they have to make other mav players beat them and *try to limit luka and ky to 50pts
@@godscologne389 bbq chicken
@@pm.meowth4850Okc did that and PJ and DJJ shot way better than they usually do from 3 and killed them
LBJ spot on with the switch then blitz on Luka in game 2, risk the 2 points to tie than giving him the 3.
Lively is smart and athletic; he's been making the right plays throughout the playoffs. The Mavs are a match-up problem for everyone.
JJ will name Bron as an assistant..book it
celtiics staff panicking watching this rn
Lol u sure?
Yep, Mazulla not a very good coach.
LeBron is so smart! His secret sauce isn’t his prodigious athletic ability; it’s his even more prodigious intelligence
So, they are doing job interview via podcast now
"that's my quarterback"- to
Andrew Wiggins when he’s locked in can guard him on a island with ease

Baphomet chest release
Bron just out here telling Boston how to deal with Luka. It kinda feels wrong for him to share this at this point of the season.
great breakdown
absolutely in the playoffs u gotta force the ball out of lukas hands- he still gets the pass in but make the others shoot. The other times you gotta hedge hard and cut back to mix it up.... But never go under the screen and switch only when its the only option.
Bro holding back the urge to say “yup” 😂
Bron gotta shave that head man 😂 his shit reminding me of carlos boozer in this video iykyk 😂😂
Luka is going to catch and shoot more than he ever has this series. If you watched last series he was doing it a little bit. I think they ramp it up & throw Boston off guard.
Its crazy how little he lets the guest talk. Especially Bron.
Joe mazulla
“Write that down , write that down.”
He kinda didn't. Joe mostly let his defenders work against Luka, some switching, a couple of traps, a few hard blitzes. Hate to say it, but... the Celtics reused a few of the "Jordan rules" = namely dare all the others not named Luka and Kyrie to do anything to beat them. Dallas has gotten so little out of P J Washington, Daniel Gafford, Hardaway Jr, and even Derrick Lively II & Derrick Jones Jr have struggled often. And Dallas has some weird player rotations going, I can't say why they have barely used Dante Exum or Jaden Henry, and only a little of Josh Green - and Maxi Kleber has not been productive since his injury. So, the Mavericks are down 0 - 2 coming home to Dallas, with an uphill struggle to get wins on a Celtics team that knows this is their Finals to finally break all the way through. Celtics been here, only Kyrie on Mavs has been here (and it looks like the Boston scheme and their fans have gotten to him somewhat, so far.. ).
When you and your future coach start a podcast together to secretly interview him for the job, but keep doing the podcast so nobody knows he already has the job. *LeMind The James*
*LeInterview James*
*LeMastermind James*
which one is jj reddick?
What happens to the pod when JJ gets the job?? 🤔
you blitz luka, he gonna make a pass and force a turnover or pray that the open guy misses. but if you dont blitz him, hes gonna cook. Luka is a special player. but is also a very clutch player (seen many times). its impossible to guard him 1 v 1. none in that celtics team can guard him. best thing to do is pray lol. its still a mystery on how to defend luka.
One play doesn't always define a series, but that possession probably is the closest thing to it. You could've lived with Lively getting a dunk (everyone on the perimeter staying home), tying it up, and having more than enough time to try and win it down on the other end. Yeah if it went into OT and you still lost that's a different convo, but that play exemplified the difference between a team lead by folks who've been there vs young inexperienced folks...they didn't even give themselves a chance with that play.
They never disagree on anything so what would JJ bring to any coaching role that LeBron doesn’t already know?
Fall guy without lebron being blamed by the media
Exactly
He has better knowledge and skill in certain parts of the game that isn’t bron’s bread and butter. I’d take more from what jj says if he’s tryna teach me how to come off a screen ready to shoot
@@adub92199 lmao the fact u think LeQueen can be coached is comical. Even LeQueen don’t believe that
@@mrizzle58 fr😂😂 LeQueen wants to be the coach but without the blame. That's all it is.
Damn this was a good idea. JJ was right. Talking heads should be helping fans understand the game. If you’re talented enough like these guys you can entertain and educate. As for the topic, Luka’s ability to hit tough shots is up there with prime Harden. You gotta get that ball out of his hand and to a less capable teammate or worse case stay in front of him.
I won’t lie at first i wasn’t a fan of Jason Kidd’s offense. I felt like it was too much one on one at the top of the key. Now I realize that it’s done on purpose to make it harder for the defense to double team Luka/Kyrie and gives them plenty of options in the pick and roll.
He need to figure out how to guard Murray first💀
So basically, Mavs would do thumb down and you cannot blitz Luka. Am I correct? ;)
TBH, I would study how the Golden State dynasty defended LeBron, Harden, and Luka and incorporate any aspects that fit my personnel because, in the last 10 years, Golden State has been the most effective in dealing with teams that structure their offense around ball-dominant perimeter players.
