frfr one of my boys would get the nuggets on 2k9's play online mode and only score with J.R. Smith, every point, and would win too. He would do the same thing with Nick Young too. Back then we called sleepers.
@@dimitrijetucovic1307 one of the best shotmakers/shot creators, but erratic, who was able to grow into a good role player on championship squads. sounds good to me
The amount of interviewing gymnastics JJ and Tommy went through to get a name out of this kid's mouth and he finally comes out and says: "LIKE JR SMETH" 😂😂😂😂 We all have such unique journeys and I love it
@@andresdelportillo9917you dont speak for all of us. In fact you speak for very little of us. JR a D.A.W.G. in Knicks and Denver days, and that's DAWG as in Daaaaamn, Ayo Whatthefuck Goddamn because he made you say that with his insane highlights
If you watch pure highlights, Jr Smith looks like Kobe. Everybody in my era grew up on all his stuff. Jr, Crawford, Lou will, lance, Gerald green, Jordan Clarkson, Colin Sexton. those type of guys will get about way more than a lot of dudes that have rings in the future I bet
JR had superstar potential. Had everything. Could shoot, jump off two legs, off right, off left, didnt matter to him. Basketball IQ is what stopped him. Same as JaVale.
That denever team with Jr smith iverson carmelo camby Kenyon Martin Andre miller billups I used to use that team in 2k 2008 I think it was. That squad was crazy. Jr is one of those players for me at that time if I made a team I picked him always top 3 his dunks were crazy
JR's game was COMPLETE in his prime. Could've been a superstar if it wasn't for George Karl, and the blackhole known as Carmelo Anthony, and J.R. was chillin frfr.
@@dimitrijetucovic1307 COMPLETE! You understand what complete means? lol athleticism, ball handling, limitless range, acrobatic around rim, dude could create his shot at anytime, and he was a good playmaker. I remember when melo was out in NYC JR dropped six 30pt games in a row, one of them against a notable OKC thunder in their prime. So please, stop it!
That would be a great idea JJ if you also can persuade some of your NBA colleagues to donate that system to some deserving schools as well, as a form of equity for all up and coming players.
JR was an exciting player to watch. Would shoot for deep on some of the most insane shots and would not be afraid to dunk. It's no wonder kids wouldn't be learning from JR, since he was able to do all that, AND remain a good roleplayer AND be a two time nba champ.
JJ spot on, see so many people who never played or dont even understand what they are watching go on and on about who plays what position when the game nowadays is position-less, 4 and 5 out with spacing
Dudes like JR Smith, Nick Young, Beasley, Tyreke Evans, Brandon Jennings, and etc... they're all cut from the same cloth. Boys oozing with talent and confidence on-par with some of the game's greatest players. The only difference is the maturity levels and perhaps luck when it came to staying healthy and the teams they were on.
Were your parents the reason you played basketball? "No. I hated basketball my mom dragged me to practices." Huh? JJ and Tommy had to pull some teeth to get this kid to have a decent conversation.
I've noticed that a lot of this generation's NBA players unfortunately only play because of their 1 in a million God giving physical abilities which gives them the potential to make generational life changing wealth meanwhile you have kids that spend hours a day playing basketball trying to get better just to realize that they're not going to be taller than 6 ft and will never get a 40-inch vertical no matter how many squats and calf phrases they do and will most likely never get a D1 scholarship... Should have kicked a soccer ball or played tennis or something.... Blame God lol sometimes life ain't fair
When is JR gonna officially co-host with JJ to create the greatest b-ball podcast the world has ever known!? JJ’s current co-host needs to be demoted to the “young Jamie” role
Anyone learning from JR isn't going far unless it's as a role player. Nothing wrong with being a role player, it's just not what a player should strive for.
90% of the league are role players and you can take from anyone’s game, it’s all a matter of perspective, meaning: what you take and how you apply it to your own game. Your point is null and avoid bro.
@@clkk3rd1 Do you have problems reading? I said there's nothing wrong with being a role player but if you model your game after a role player that's what you'll be. I've never heard of someone getting drafted and wanting to be a role player and not a star.
@@CapnKrunk123 Do you have problems reading? You said “that’s not what a player should strive for” And I said that point is invalid and it is. I don’t care who a player models his game after, each player is GREAT at something. JR is GREAT at iso & shot creation. Again, If they take the BEST part of a player’s game & apply it to their own, sky’s the limit. That’s like saying studying Gary Payton is useless cuz he wasn’t a superstar player. Ok, but he was an elite defender. Any player is worth studying cuz these are the best 450 players in the world, my guy.
look at JR Smith man.... so inspirational..... back in college now.... 4.0 GPA.... two time NBA champ
Stg I just saw this
bro is benjamin button went to the NBA first then went to college after😂😂
he bouta graduate kindergarten next
I'm glad he went developed his knowledge and well roundedness as a human. People portrayed him to be what Ja Morant is
@@SSEF15and he wasn’t even close
This comment looks so familiar
Look at JR now. Back in college with 4.0 and 2 time NBA champion
Beautiful. Love to see it😌
A great career
He got 2?? I thought he only had that one in Cleveland
@@ChilliPalmers He got one with the lakers in the bubble
@@ChilliPalmers won one with the Lakers in 2020
JR Smith was a 99 overall on 2K if you knew how to use him back in the day… PS3 & early PS4 Era
Accurate on 2K he top 75
FACTS
No lies told
frfr one of my boys would get the nuggets on 2k9's play online mode and only score with J.R. Smith, every point, and would win too. He would do the same thing with Nick Young too. Back then we called sleepers.
@@lxuaes6915 bru him, Nick young & Leandro Barbosa was capable of putting up 30 off the bench
Prime JR was an era that’s seriously underlooked. Dude was one of the best bucket getters in the league
He was a good role player, nothing more
I’m not sure I’d say that it’s “extremely underlooked”. Maybe a bit, but let’s also not overhype it now.
@@dimitrijetucovic1307 one of the best shotmakers/shot creators, but erratic, who was able to grow into a good role player on championship squads. sounds good to me
No he wasn’t. He would just take crazy shots that would fall every now and then
@@adrianfernandez8476you didn’t watch New York knicks Jr smith 😂😂😂
That’s a wild picture to use 😭
Lmaoooo the thumbnail right? 😂😂😂😂
Lmao
..according to the thumbnail they must be learning to get high
The amount of interviewing gymnastics JJ and Tommy went through to get a name out of this kid's mouth and he finally comes out and says:
"LIKE JR SMETH"
😂😂😂😂
We all have such unique journeys and I love it
underrated comment! dude musta semi not like ball LMAO
3:44 this is why JJ is goated. That reaction was priceless
Right?! I really laughed so hard and said the same thing back to him for his reaction. Keep it up JJ
pre-2017 cavs jr smith was deadly on a heater and was mad bouncy
Knicks and Denver fans would disagree with you JR was trash asf
Nah.. JR was not trash. He was chaos personified. S-tier irrational confidence guy one game. Bone headed mistakes another game.
@@yajeel 💯
@@andresdelportillo9917you dont speak for all of us. In fact you speak for very little of us. JR a D.A.W.G. in Knicks and Denver days, and that's DAWG as in Daaaaamn, Ayo Whatthefuck Goddamn because he made you say that with his insane highlights
@@andresdelportillo9917 Knicks fans loved JR
Bro was the best guard they had in over a decade and New York loves guards
Heat-check JR was absolutely stellar. And hops too. What a energy on the Knicks.
Ppl be forgetting jr was a lethal shooter for the cavs
He was ight ……
Lol "lethal" 😂
Not sure about lethal shooter but I know he was a lethal driver
He's overrated as F now, just like Jamal Crawford, they were blackholes on offense and chucker.
@@challenger516 💯
Yo at like 3:30 when JJ said ‘I fuckin love this dude 😄” I felt that. If JR is you influence then you’re a straight baller for sure 😅
JJ Reddick is an underrated basketball player and a solid storyteller in basketball, both in the game and broadcast
JR did have some CRAZY highlights in his Denver days.
Give JR his roses
JR Smith, sick dunks n fadeaways gotta love him
Most nba players would wish to have a career like JR smith. Man was drafted out of high school and played for 15 years
y’all are foul for that thumbnail 😂
If you watch pure highlights, Jr Smith looks like Kobe. Everybody in my era grew up on all his stuff. Jr, Crawford, Lou will, lance, Gerald green, Jordan Clarkson, Colin Sexton. those type of guys will get about way more than a lot of dudes that have rings in the future I bet

Same for me too.
Jamal Crawford was another goodnplayer to emulate when it comes to offense. What a great scorer man !!!!!
Jamal like the hardest person to emulate, he arguably got the best handles all time 😂
When I wake up in the mornin, all I do is say “Damn, JR you is scorin”
How's JJs podcast sound quality so much better than ESPN 😂
Yes let’s goo!!! I still got my JR for Prez t-shirt after his Cleveland chip🔥🔥🔥
*KNICKS JR WAS COLD AF*
My brother in Christ melo carried that entire team
3:44 JJ is a comedic genius
Will never forget JRs 360 dunk 😆
JR's game was COMPLETE in his prime. Could've been a superstar if it wasn't for George Karl, and the blackhole known as Carmelo Anthony, and J.R. was chillin frfr.
Hahahahahaah stop it

@@lxuaes6915 6 30pt games in a row shows his scoring bag was complete not his whole game. i got a lotta love for swish tho.
He was a complete offensive threat . Jr didn’t play a lick of defense back then
@@penelopelewis7775 J.R played D, he wasn't tony allen, but he wasn't jimmer either. Your actin like was gettin cooked.
That first kid is tough to listen too 😂
Yea no joke! I’m screaming “just spit it out”
That would be a great idea JJ if you also can persuade some of your NBA colleagues to donate that system to some deserving schools as well, as a form of equity for all up and coming players.
JR was an exciting player to watch. Would shoot for deep on some of the most insane shots and would not be afraid to dunk. It's no wonder kids wouldn't be learning from JR, since he was able to do all that, AND remain a good roleplayer AND be a two time nba champ.
just came to say the pic you used of JR in the thumbnail is outrageous LMAOOOO
JR had the talent to be a HOFER mentality was a different thing. But pure talent he was top notch!
It’s hard for JJ to talk to a player that may not have his level of love for the game.
Yo can someone link me to this SYNERGY place/app/site that I keep hearing about?
Every possession ??? I want to watch..!
JJ spot on, see so many people who never played or dont even understand what they are watching go on and on about who plays what position when the game nowadays is position-less, 4 and 5 out with spacing
JJ is clearly a student of the game wow…🙌🏽
C’mon jj, what a sheety image for the have you select?
what is synergy? have no idea what they're talking about.
You wrong for that thumbnail JJ 😂
JJ almost spit out his drink after "Like JR Smith" lmao
Love that thumbnail. JR is the man!
Wow I used to coach for Full Package 🔥
That nba theme song was goated
JR was never suppose to get traded him & CP3 was a young exciting backcourt
Might want to watch Jokic and emulate his game. Future of the NBA - the point center.
JR is my all time favorite
Dudes like JR Smith, Nick Young, Beasley, Tyreke Evans, Brandon Jennings, and etc... they're all cut from the same cloth.

You did my guy JR dirty with this thumbnail smh
Dog I totally forgot Tommy was in this until he spoke at the end
Matas will be the next NBA superstar. Bet on it.
Lmaoo imagine playing college golf with jr smith too!
Whos the kid jj is talking to?
Matas Buzelis - potentially the top pick in the draft next year
I'm intrigued to see this kid hoop
Completely unrelated but why does JR look high asf in the thumbnail 😂
Ngl I thought the thumbnail was Austin Reeves 😂
This is what happens when certain types of people have natural talent really young, they sound like this guy lol
JJ boutta have the greatest squad of 8 year olds ever assembled
When are you gonna interview Antman?
JR smith is the best
Jr footwork
Y’all foul for using that picture 😂😂😂
Thumbnail is twisted
Back in the day ballers wanted to be rappers. Nowadays they want to be golfers
Who is he?
Who is the kid
J R J R J R J R! #stillfaveplayeron2k!
Were your parents the reason you played basketball? "No. I hated basketball my mom dragged me to practices." Huh? JJ and Tommy had to pull some teeth to get this kid to have a decent conversation.
Modern coaches in my cntry dont understand this. They not tend to review games with team. This is sad
JR Smith has the GOAT highlight reel.
JR could always ball. A walking bucket. He just didn't have the attitude you probably need to be an all star type of player
HEENY GOD LIVES
Jr could set then reset, Jordan Kobe Jr. Cynthia Cooper. They could do it 4 times in a possession.
Denver Nuggets JR was a PROBLEM 🔥
JR Smith sure looks different
Who is this kid ??
Clickbait title come on man
Imagine if he only liked JR because he saw the "HIGHlights" of JR when he was stoned all the time and thought it was cool
what is he talking about 😭😭 this podcast is so confusing 😭😭 happy 4th
It’s future first pick guys
Im getting old dawg this kid looks 16😂
Dude talks like a boxer lol
JJ now y’all gotta pick the jr smith picture where he looks dumb high ?? But use a great picture of white boy
6'11 195. lmfao.
he was a swimmer what do you expect lol
*man… we’re getting OLD (i’m 24) LMFAO*
Entire generation can smoke weed and ball and educate
I develop talent
It’s hard af to listen to this kid talk
This dude is kinda slow answering questions lol
I've noticed that a lot of this generation's NBA players unfortunately only play because of their 1 in a million God giving physical abilities which gives them the potential to make generational life changing wealth meanwhile you have kids that spend hours a day playing basketball trying to get better just to realize that they're not going to be taller than 6 ft and will never get a 40-inch vertical no matter how many squats and calf phrases they do and will most likely never get a D1 scholarship...

I can’t imagine being asked about the difference between 7th and 9th grade like I was an adult. Calm down. This is a child you’re talking to. Weird.

Who tf is this
My boi is terrible on camera😂
Bro this dude cant speak
Jr was a way better player than jj
Jr would average 30 rn if he came in the league today
