Not that the others have been bad but this was genuinely one of the funniest pod episodes from the fellas in a min. I was cracking tf up the whole time 😭😭😭
I must say, this is arguably the best episode I’ve ever watched 😂😂😂. I was laughing all throughout this episode, the tangents were jokes 😂😂😂. Of course the pure basketball episodes during the season are also top tier, but these off-season pods are great 👌🏾😂
It’s like a Mandela effect I see so many people say he came back from injury and won the game but I remember him playing thru injury and them getting wooped and he came out the game early
honestly I don’t understand how you can have Bron as a superstar and not AD cause AD was the best player on the lakers this past year. They were 2-4 without AD and 6-5 without Bron. I love Bron but I feel like people don’t give AD enough credit just cause he plays with bron and that’s highlighted by you guys saying AD isn’t a superstar.
Also if you look at the context of the games that were played without Bron vs AD it’s way different. 4/6 of the games AD missed were against teams that are below .500. While 7/11 games Bron missed were teams that were above .500. My point in saying this is that AD without Bron performed much better than Bron without AD despite AD having to go against better competition. I do believe Bron is a superstar but no way you think Bron is one but AD isn’t, it’s just flawed logic unless you’re going solely on marketability.
They def don’t pay attention to lakers games as much as they should I think we mix being impress with what Bron is still able to do at his age and not is overall impact on the game Ad is by far the most impactful player on the Lakers
Who they dressed like segment: Dmills- looking like he going to Arizona Pierre- looking like he bout to stand outside on the corner liquor store Kenny- High school kid happy to wear his Caleb jersey Mike- looking like he sells fire sticks outside Walmart
Pels had Jrue and Lonzo creating plenty catch and shoots for BI years ago. The year Zion missed was when BI played his most natural game, if the Pels didn’t start 3-16 he may have had steam to be an all star that year, and he averaged 27 in the playoffs. Zion assisted the 10th most threes last season but it still didn’t translate to BI getting more attempts up, so now with Dejounte if he’s gonna get more up it has to be now
Anthony Davis led the league in rebounds , Top 2 Defensive player in the world , and gave you 25 ppg there is no other player in the league that is capable
Great show - IMO Ant needs more than one playoff run/all-NBA season to reach superstar status. Cool seeing y'all on the AEW PPV whenever camera was showing that side btw. Please share stories next show.
donovan mitchell just got so many playoff moments. 4 50 point games, top 10 in ppg, averaged 30+ in multiple runs. he only has one all nba, but he was most certainly getting 2 if he played 65 games. he’s never gone on a deep run, but bro got injured down 2-1 to the champions. if that series happens in the conference finals instead of finals, he’s a better player? he’s a superstar? we’re talking about a guy that always has homecourt and has never missed the playoffs. i think if peak dame is a superstar, current spida is a superstar as well
Jokic, Giannis, luka, Embiid, LeBron, Curry, Tatum, Shai are the only superstars in the league to me imo. Players who I think can be the best player on a championship level team. Don’t think KD or AD can and are more 1b type of players at this point of their careers. ANTs teetering the line imo then there’s like book and Brunson around there too
Love the reminiscing part about all the players especially with Blake because he was going crazy in his prime. However, even though he gave it is his all the Pistons got swept 4-0 by the Bucks in 2019
The fact y’all never mention Keldon Johnson when you talk about the spurs is disappointing. He was the biggest victim to the mess they were last season, and could have the biggest bounce back. He’s only 24 and I believe he’s a better player than Sochan, at least right now.
NBA 2k ratings are so crazy compared to FC/FIFA game ratings. I don’t know how the way the game operate but the best players in the world start at around 93 maximum, and about 10 in total over 90 - if that. Gives the players a full season to earn improvements based on form and for a gradual increase in quality over the season.
I really love the podcast since through the wire but have noticed the volume is really low and I that work driving cannot hear this podcast on my vehicle, could the volume be upped for the next podcast? Love the content guys and keep it going!
As someone living in Europe, lowkey think Wemby is a superstar already. He’s commercially there alr, was second in DPOY and all-NBA output second half of the season.
at 40:50 y'all didn't let d mills rock, but that 15-16 warriors team was 2nd in 3pt shooting rate (behind houston), 27th in 16ft-3pt range shooting rate, and 24th in 10ft-16ft shooting rate. they were even 29th in 3ft-10ft shooting rate (all from basketball-reference). so maybe there was some other midrange-shooting team that was a top offense (the 15-16 spurs for example), but it wasn't that warriors team. typically, heavy midrange-shooting teams aren't as efficient as teams that focus more on the rim and 3s. phoenix was 9th on basketball-reference (maybe you're using cleaning the glass or something else), and that's with 3 excellent midrange shooters. maybe they repeat that performance this year, but it's a tough ask to subsist on that. the spurs used to do it with an offense with a much better flow than phoenix's
Ingram showed during the World Cup and the season that he is not a max player. And he always miss a shit ton of games. He’s probably more like 30 mil type guy
"Marcus Smart was giving you 30." @50:38 Bro averaged 15 in high school and 18 at OSU lol nobody questions P when he talks about high school/college hoops
I think the knicks really gonna do it this year and get top 5 in offense and defense, like probably 4-5 on both, but I could definitely see it! And obviously okc is for sure in top 5 for both, and probably Boston as well!
IMO being a superstar is about your play and most importantly STARDOM. Just because you're a top 10 player consistently doesn't make you a "superstar" if you constantly fly under the radar off the court. Steph and Lebron are the definition of modern superstars. A lot of players most consider superstars just because they're top players just aren't. That title is given way too easily. It's like knowing the names Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar without being invested in Football, same can't be said for majority of "Superstars" in the NBA.
I ain't know about John Salley or Rick Fox until making jokes about them on TV playing ball. John Salley was Bad Boys and Rick Fox was Meet the Browns 😂
Nah “the earth” gotta be a top 5 response by Mike ever 😭
First time I laughed out loud in a while

I died laughing yo lmao 🤣
@@KyleSprabary bro exactly what happened to me I was laughing out loud and never do
Time stamp it for me gang😭
“I like space”
“What’s your favorite planet?”
“Earth”
*laughs*
“I don’t be looking at other planets.”
Mike crazy 🤦🏾♂️😭
🔥 🚬
Bro is traumatized by jealous girlfriends
I was crying!!! 😂
NGL when he said that he enjoyed the stars and the vastness of space it was then valid 🤷🏾♂️
Everybody got on fall clothing and D Mills looking like to going to Cancun lol
Big boys run hot pause
Mike with the fit of the year
besides the socks
Maturing is realizing that anything beside white socks is criminal unless you’re going to church 🙂↔️
Nah black socks the way to go they don’t get dirty asf
@@CastawayBench okay but not with white shoes like that tho
yo P is actually wild with that Sterling impersonation 😭
"their kind don't usually have orange hair" 😭😭😭
His half white side😭
"Did you know he could jump over a Kia? hey Kyle bring the Kia out 🗣️" 🤣🤣🤣
Pierre: "What's your favorite planet?"
Mike: "Earth"
LMFAOOOOO
Mike on some SGA kinda run
31 yet again
Donald “Peewee’ Sterling was insaneee 😭😭
The off season be like: "How many superstars are in the NBA?", it was literally only 10 minutes of the whole pod 🤣
Not that the others have been bad but this was genuinely one of the funniest pod episodes from the fellas in a min. I was cracking tf up the whole time 😭😭😭
Mike hat hard as hell
Uhmmmm
Yeah same
Pause
I must say, this is arguably the best episode I’ve ever watched 😂😂😂. I was laughing all throughout this episode, the tangents were jokes 😂😂😂. Of course the pure basketball episodes during the season are also top tier, but these off-season pods are great 👌🏾😂
Pierre thinks John Salley is JB Smoove lol
Nah wtf was Pierre on with that Blake Griffin talk?? 😂
Can’t go a day without the pod I been starving watching old through the wire episodes 💔💔
Man I swear I be playing those ttw all day at work
This why clips is goated
neva related so much
@@cammo5854 done ran through every clips on the board video like 3 times too🤣
Ain’t no way Mike pronounced sanji like that
Sanjay is crazy 😂
He never pronounces names right 😂😂😂 i be questioning if he actually watch the shows
Dorito sized chip is crazy lol
yall rlly gotta stop giving Blake Griffen this phantom game lmao they got swept 4-0 to the bucks, and bucks averaged a 23.75 margin of victory. 24:16
I noticed that but i figured he was talking ab regular szn
It’s like a Mandela effect I see so many people say he came back from injury and won the game but I remember him playing thru injury and them getting wooped and he came out the game early
Giannis stomped them 😂
“They made that theory too”1:15:10 had me weak..all time Mike bar

Don’t think either are superstars tbh
Superstar status is not only decided by play
@@julesdepreter5697 I don’t disagree, but by every metric AD should be a superstar. Very marketable on his own plus the fact that he plays in LA
The unity/chemistry in this episode went crazy.
this pod is always there to help me get through the tough times. you guys are appreciated beyond explanation.
Who they dressed like segment:
Dmills- looking like he going to Arizona
Pierre- looking like he bout to stand outside on the corner liquor store
Kenny- High school kid happy to wear his Caleb jersey
Mike- looking like he sells fire sticks outside Walmart
1:39:05 had me in tears
here at 360p quality
Lol

That Caleb jersey is honestly soooooo clean

This a top 5 NOTB episode
Anthony Davis led the league in rebounds , Top 2 Defensive player in the world , and gave you 25 ppg there is no other player in the league that is capable
Except for Giannis but he is not nearly the defender

Bro this has too many funny moments 😂 clips gonna eat off this
1:20 Gotta smoke with Buggy ts would be funny as hell
Im literally rewatching this shit like 5 days later bc it was so funny dawg best episode as NOTB by FAR
24:50 as a nets fan I remember when Deron Williams had 0 points in a playoff game
I specifically remember Brooklyn DWill for this game and also the game where he had 9 threes in the first half lmao

I appreciate you guys bringing up Sochan

1. Kenny
2. Pierre
3. Dmills
4. Mike
They all got something nice on
one of mikes best performances in a minute. "earth" is an elite response
Not saying Usopp as who you’d smoke with considering the stories bro be telling is crazy
Jokic, Giannis, luka, Embiid, LeBron, Curry, Tatum, Shai are the only superstars in the league to me imo. Players who I think can be the best player on a championship level team. Don’t think KD or AD can and are more 1b type of players at this point of their careers. ANTs teetering the line imo then there’s like book and Brunson around there too
Love the reminiscing part about all the players especially with Blake because he was going crazy in his prime. However, even though he gave it is his all the Pistons got swept 4-0 by the Bucks in 2019
Mike a funny ass dude “ I ain’t ever been to another planet before”
All you guys are the best! I can tell you all grew up with great values instilled in you!! Shoutout your parents!!
Real husbands of Hollywood was definitely funny I used to watch that show a lot😂
The fact y’all never mention Keldon Johnson when you talk about the spurs is disappointing. He was the biggest victim to the mess they were last season, and could have the biggest bounce back. He’s only 24 and I believe he’s a better player than Sochan, at least right now.

Mike is so damn funny bro. Absolute gem of an episode.
Y'all spent less time on SGA than Tatum lol. They both superstars but Tatum been a superstar for a lil bit
I’m here for the John wall love, he was favorite player until the injuries, so slept on!
Inside out iso specialist that 6’3 demonnn. Love the pod
Damn i love to hear yall yap about 2k that part was fun😂

Love the Chopper fit Mike!
I would love to smoke with Franky!

Just saw a Lamarcus Aldridge post and it did my heart well.

For the superstar convo y’all should use maddens idea of it and decide who would be X factors, superstars, stars or normal “dev” 🔥
