Tim Legler is 0 toxicity and tries to be 100% unbiased and fair. My favourite analyst
Not protecting relationships or anything just pure facts and passion
And the guy actually watches every single game every day. Listen to him is great
He did call Caitlin Clark one of his top five ALL TIME players to watch. Not sure if I buy that or espn pushed that into his lips.
@@willzsportscards i think she just for the fact they she could possibly change the landscape of the wnba
Love Legler as an analyst but he def has biases like every person ever. To say “No matter what LeBron does he can’t pass MJ as #1 GOAT he will always be #2” is the definition of biased.
By the way I’m in my 40s and been going to MANY games yearly since 1987 (pops great seats season tickets center court row 9/11/13 since Reggie Miller’s rookie year 87-88 while my mom who is from Chicago has had great seats in her fam for Bulls since 84 MJ’s rookie year).
I’ve seen MJ 51x live and LeBron 54x live! They’re BOTH Mount Rushmore ATHLETES imo! Both aliens and my CoGOAT. They’re by far the 2 best players I’ve seen live 10+ or studied (and I’m a student of the game + NBA/ABA history). Anyone acting like it’s not debatable either way of who is number 1 or number 2 is biased as both have great arguments and there are so many variables/uncontrollables that make it impossible to say for sure.
IMO
LeBron > MJ teen to 20
MJ > Bron 21-30
Bron > MJ 31-39+
MJ 87-88 to 92-93 > 7yr peak then LeBron but Bron 08-09 to 19-20 greater 13yr peak.
91-98 MJ vs 12-20 LeBron in playoffs very close analytically (WS/48 PER BPM VORP etc) just like 88-98 playoffs vs 2009-20 playoffs.
Imho BOTH MJ & LeBron are Mount Rushmore ATHLETES in any sport or at worst both Top5-10 somewhere!
The Tim Legler episodes are the best, great chemistry with JJ and fun listening to them talk basketball
All NBA is always first on my queue.
JJ already feels cooler than Tim so he doesnt feel the need to act cool, he chills and talks hoops
@@loganwagler7997 thats actually a really good point. jj is kind of annoying sometimes when he has players on, he seems a lot more chill when sitting with legs
They’re gay together didn’t you hear?
Very🤝🏾
I am a simple man. I see Tim Legler, I hit the like button.
Always a pleasure to listen to him talking about basketball. Hope to see him even more over here!
He's Incredible. Gotta love the guy
💯
Legs and JJ is the best hoops convo out there
He does have some pretty decent calves
Get that BMW money JJ!!
Like he needs it
We just got to hope he pays his staff fairly @@gnomechomsky2524
Brother JJ made over 100 million just on nba contracts
@@gnomechomsky2524 Y'all think money lasts forever?
JJ's gonna make more money than he did during his time as an active player.
Show some more love for MPJ.
He’s averaging
20.5 ppg
8.5 rebounds per game
Shooting 57%
53% from 3
Despite all that’s going on off the court
whats going on off court?
@@AAngel1I imagine OP is referring to his brother getting banned from the NBA because of sports betting
One of his other brothers was sentenced for a fatal drunk driving accident this week.
@@AAngel1One brother got arrested, his other brother was banned from the NBA for betting against himself
@@jacksurman5867 charged*
Gonna enjoy these while they last, cuz JJ is gonna be an NBA coach within the next few years. 💔
I hope not, he would lose his sanity if he goes for coaching.
Zero chance. Media is more fun and pays better.
There was a rumor Hornests showd intrest in him.
@@HawgJawn he’s already had interviews the last two years and said on this podcast that he’d do it
Him and Legs would make a great combo lol
JJ’s content on YT has totally changed the way I watch basketball…
I was never a huge fan of the NBA but after watching along with this channel the last month , I’ve found myself totally engaged in playoff basketball…
We NEED JJ & Legs ATLEAST ONCE a week in the regular season !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tim Legler is starting to understand why the Minnesota fans really love ANT. First superstar that has no ego. Off shooting night, what does ANT do? Lock in on defense, make the right pass for 8 assists, loves to highlight the success of his teammates before anything, cheers hard on the bench. When your appointed superstar leader is a superstar in being all about team and only caring about the final score, sky is the limit for that team. I wish i was on that guy's team.
First Superstar with no Ego? Have you heard of 5 time Champion Tim Duncan?
@@kaianthony8077yeah but Tim Duncan didn’t have the energy that ant does. It’s a super rare combo to simultaneously have the confidence and bravado and showmanship and swag while having no ego about who’s cooking or how many points you average and supportive of teammate success.. Even Lebron is known for his passive aggressive shots at teammates. Ant doesn’t care, he wants to make it work with who’s there with him
My boy Ant Man definitely has an ego and I promise you that is not a bad thing. Kobe and MJ had huge egos and ant will probably be in that tier of SG’s by the time he retires. And this is coming from a suns fan who paid for league pass all season just to watch ant man because I’ve never enjoyed a players game more than his in my lifetime as a hoops fan. That game vs the Celtics early in the season when wolves won in OT was my favorite performance of any player this season when he put the clamps on Tatum and took over that gameb
@@zeus4885 A strong ego with discipline about how he lets the ego dictate his decisions. I'm not a fan of "alpha" mentality, but if I were to support that mindset I'd say Ant has it. A strong leader with self-awareness and trust in himself and above all those around him
No ego??? The dude literally said the other day that in two years he’s gonna be the best player in the league. If that’s not having an ego I don’t know what to tell you. Oh, just to be clear, I love that he has that ego. I think it’s awesome for the league.
Never did I think I’d enjoy Leggs so much. Months ago I used to think he was bad (out of ignorance) but now he’s one of the top dudes I wanna hear from. And JJ has surprised me since I first started hearing from him. Amazing bball content.
JJ with new sponsor every episode 😂😂
Also if Jamal is not in All Star game next year, I'm boycotting the NBA
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whoever pays the most :D
Unfortunately it'll be tough for him. There are so many great guards in West that are leaders on their team that always get the edge in all star voting.
Ja will be back next year too and I see him locking up a spot. Shai, Luka, Curry will likely all have slots too.
They need to expand the rosters, it'll be criminal to have an all time playoff performer not even make an all star team
SGA, Luka and Ant are probably sure bets for guard spots. And you still have Booker, Steph, Kyrie, Fox and Ja as more likely candidates for an All-Star spot than Jamal, because so far in their careers they have been way more productive than him in the regular season.
It's amazing how this guy can turn into a top 15-20 player in the league instantly in the playoffs. It also shows how Jokic allows his team to flourish around him, while still being able to take over games when needed to (like the Game 2 third quarter.)
He don’t do enough during the regular season to get it he nice af but Murray don’t become Jamal Murray until playoffs
Tim Legler was an assassin from 3. Loved his days in Washington
Tim Legler is a great guy! Love his love for the game and he is a basketball savant! He also gives the Nuggets love on National TV which they've been deserving! Great stuff JJ, Tommy, and Tim
Definitely the most beloved Knicks team since Pat Riley era. No nonsense, just hard work.
YESS I was waiting so much for this. JJ with Tim two of the best analysts in the game.
Love the show, but kinda disappointed that there is no NBA content left without betting ads, this is a dangerous development man
Love every episode with Legs! You guys have a great back n forth 🙂↕️
I appreciate you for the time stamps
Yea. Legs and JJ duo pod is what the world needed. 🙌
Yeah I thought Ant had a mature game. Not shooting well so he created open buckets - 8 assists and more hockey assists. Still put in effort to defend - great ball pressure, 3 steals, 1 block. Did a great job in passing out of doubles and making the simple reads when blitzed. Didn’t force anything, just shifted his role to still impact winning
Im rather new to this podcast but now you're my go-to guy when it comes to the basketball and true knowledge of what's going on here. Love and respect JJ
Finally! Been waiting on you two…
Legler episodes are always some of my favorites. Great video as always jj
Embiid’s style of play is probably too dynamic for his body type. Wemby plays guard-like but the man does a ton of mobility strengthening with a lighter frame. I can’t imagine how taxing it is to move in an explosive manner for a big.
No magic / cavs? Smdh. How can you ignore this riveting series.
"Nah man, sometimes you gotta get real!"
-Legs unscrewing a bottle of well defined and constructive anger
Tim is so good on these
I love these two together !!
Minnesota fans FEED on good defensive execution. Energy in Target Center has been unreal and its due to the heart and hustle of our top 7 guys.
shup
I really enjoyed the Mavs vs Clippers segment 👍 thanks!!
Tim Legler is one of the best
Wow I didn’t think I’d watch the entire video all the way through 🔥🔥
Love it everytime legs is on the show
My 2 fav NBA guys on one show... nice
As always it was a pleasure to see the great Tim Legler. Best analyst out there by a mile.
Absolutely LOVE when Legs give us insight. Get him on an episode of Mind The Game too!
Todays missions to view Knicks coverage, thank you JJ☺️
JJ, love what you re doing with LBJ, “mind the game”. Super insightful. However, the nerdy basketball talk started with Legler and I can’t wait to see you dissect basketball, matchups, def coverages.
Really enjoy the basketball dialogue between you two.
Love these two talking basketball.
Legler was really a NBA player. That's why dude knows so much
Wooooow were up to 6 minutes now, way to go JJ on covering the small market teams😂😂
Having Tim on these is such a blessing to those of us who want real hoop analysis. You both do a fantastic job
Tim is such a pleasure to listen to. Just talking straight facts.
If you end up being HC for Hornets pls don’t stop doing the podcasts!
Dude has a family - he can't be living the Stephen A lifestyle day in and day out. I love the podcast, but it makes sense for it to end when he's coaching, especially his first year.
He always says a major factpr in his retiring from the league is his not being able to spend time with his family. Coaching will consume as much or more time.
I selfishly hope je at least doesn’t go to the hornets if he’s to end the podcast unserious franchise, at least hope he goes to some type of contender. Him over Doc for the Bucks would feed families 😂
Love the All City podcast shout-out!
The thing about Lebron missing that last 3, is that because Denver's offense was so crazy during the 4th quarter, he almost couldn't afford to miss. It happened to be the last shot that was the miss, but it could've been any of them. The Nuggets run meant the Lakers had to score on every single possession down the stretch
Tim and JJ goat combo
Future Charlotte hornets coach J.J Redick
He wouldn’t have any time for the pods so I hope not but he would be a good head coach at some point
That would be a major mistake 😂
JJ DONT DO IT
You have to wait for a team like the Thunder or Spurs. A team that already has a MVP-level young talent.
Only if he can bring in Legs and The Dunker Spot on staff.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tim Legler is seriously the most impressive analyst.
JJ lookin like a MyPlayer default fit in this episode haha
Legs is always awesome, and Alternate routes looks very interesting.
Hartenstein and Jokic just don't have bad games - GOATS
First one to say - LETS HAVE A GREAT DAY HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND !!!
Tim is the best guest by farr
Watching Legs breakdown the Mavs after seeing game 3..this man is a basketball genius!
The convo before the Suns/Wolves segment😂😂😂
I love how they pedal gambling for two minutes, then proceed to be like, “got a gambling problem?” 😂
facts it's kinda strange for sure
It's actually quite simple. They do the same for alcohol ad pictures
Just like selling junk but caution if you have an addiction it might be harmful.
Ain’t no way JJ got that BMW sponsor. Get paid babyyyy 💰
Mavs clippers talk felt like 90 percent mavs 10 percent clips
dudeeee BMW sponsor is insane LOL
Last time I was this early I got it in my eye
Bro no diddy
@@foewoody5389all diddy
Tim Leglar would be a incredible commentator in my opinion .
If one day he can call NBA playoffs games it would be amazing 🙏
Legler and JJ are the best analyst duo
Tim Legler is the man 🙌🏾
I can listen to Mr.legler all day, bro was born to be an analyst, goat status, if you're looking for a GM legler is the guy
Always a good day when we get a Tom appearance!!
JJ with the Bimmer sponsors😮😮
Said that he didn't want to talk about celtics series cause he didn't want to be blindsided or unaware of what happened in game 2. Great call in hindsight😂😂
Tim's got a fire podcast too.
Legs is one of my fav analysts
JJ + Legs makes for the best basketball show on the planet, hands down
People saying that “this reminds me of the 90s” is because most of the games on national TV back then were playoff games.
pls stop accepting gambling ads. all they do is ruin lives.
big facts i love this show and everyone’s perspectives but gambling ads are so lame bruh
Plenty of people gamble without it being a problem if you can’t control yourself and what you spend your money on don’t download the apps it’s that simple there’s no need for him to cancel his ad which he makes money of off just because YOU out of however many can’t control themselves when gambling
please! and im so tired of seeing them while i watch my games. i really dont like that they can partner with our leagues.
Blah blah blah just stop gambling if u suck at it
Jontay porters burner
"... to then become an elite podcaster..." lol that was awesome!
Awesome pod. The Clippers will show they're the better team in that series but awesome and entertaining analysis/perspective on every series, thanks for the good watch.
Elite Podcast
These two guys are dope. If JJ get the job Tim will be his assistant
AD is an AMAZING magician! He makes himself disappear every 4th quarter vs Denver
Wow. That's cool. That's amazing. I didn't think nobody. What's a better magician than Lebron? He disappears immediately after every single game. While this team is shaking, the other team's hands
I see JJ and Tim, I click. I shut up and I listen!! It’s that simple!!
Huge fan but was really hoping to hear something about the Cavs/Magic series
I really think that what people call "out of shape" about Luka is by design because he's shown in his rookie season that he can be slimmer and more athletic if he wants to. I think (smilarly to Jokic in a way) the extra weights allows him to play more bully ball in the high post
extra weight is going to be hard on his joints down the road, especially because he became a pro so early in life
gafford has been rough but lively has looked pretty solid and fantastic for a rookie center in the playoffs so didn't really get that, offensively sure he only had 7 in game 2 but defensively he was great and his vertical spacing has still be helpful in the PNR to generate looks even if he hasnt personally capitalized on many of them
Enjoy the show guys! Coach JJ will be heading to Hornets next season! Looking forward to it.
if I'm the knicks, im doing two things. The first is having JB shoot over OG to get himself prepared for shooting over big wings, and NOBODY on that sixers team is as good defensively as OG is. Second, The Knicks depend so much on the high screen and roll, and while its been effective, its been predictable and they have to find a way to free up Brunson into single coverage, especially on the weak side where he's so effective. I want to see them for some stretches in the game, have Brunson or Deuce or whoever is handling the ball run pick and pops with Bogey and give Bogey some more looks from three point range.
Love Legler! ...my favorite basketball mind.
damn, i was watching this hopping for JJs thought on the heats W.. pain
Wow. J. J memory of game 2, 2009 Finals I remember vividly with Lee missing layup.
Very tired of all these damn gambling ads, guess everyone has a price
Cry
love legler but we need you two and rj!!! get that baldy on these eps 🤣
Mr halo this is your best,
Never have I seen a UA-cam video with a sponsor like that
Tim Legler is a great guest.
Clips of what u guys are talking about will make the show wayyyy more interesting and engaging for casual fans.
Please do this like you do on your podcast with Lebron Mind the Game
Just leaving out the thunder nice
JJ you know damn well what you was doing with that transition into the suns talk prepping Tim up like that 😂😂😂😂💪🏾
Had to add to the rest of the comments here - legler is one of my fav NBA analysts, if not my favourite.
A bmw ad yea jj is goated 😂
This is the real “Mind the game”
Always enjoy leglers thoughts on all basketball
