Iguodala is an extremely intelligent guy and is about his people and community. He takes pride in education and learning. Also glad that he has a solid relationship with Jaylen Brown, Kyrie and other players that want to stand for something other than just being an NBA player. He’s the guy that other players should look up to
This is probably my fave podcast now. No gimmicks, no trying to go viral…Melo is just being his authentic self and it’s still insightful and entertaining. Love the variety of guests that are interviewed.
It's crazy how Melo's reputation amongst actual players is beyond solidified, while casuals and the media try to paint a completely different picture. I've yet to hear a single player have a bad thing to say about dude. You see the deference that a borderline HOFer like Iggy has for dude.

No its not. The media has an agenda. Once they don't like you---they do not paint you in a favorable light. See Ali, AI, TO, Beast Mode, Barry Bonds and the list goes on and on. You have these normal people shaping narratives of exceptional athletes.
I truly admire Iguodala work ethic in the court and how dominate he was. Now getting a better insight of himself as a person it’s phenomenal especially finally an athlete that can explain what the business side of the NBA is like. Props to Carmelo and his partner to bring him on the podcast I watched from the beginning to end 👏
@@PetrodollarDealEndedSoWakeUp I’m sorry it’s a minor mistake Mr.Professor I know it all I want you to comment more people like myself who made a minor mistake than a SEVERE comment on this video.
Igoudala is your boy’s smarter, older brother who just got off work and has time to drop gems. And shoutout Mero🇩🇴 for always making Melo laugh with the subtle jokes 😂
Damn Dre smart af!! Pay attention to the subliminal info. of his convo. I’m from Memphis; said that to say Memphis feel away about Dre; but listening to this I can see the big picture overall. Dude for US. ✊🏾✊🏾 respect 🫡
This is the 2nd video i've watched in my studio and the low end frequencies is kinda crazy i'd suggest to cut some of the lows off on the entire EQ of the pod audio if possible shit i could help that i think it'd help improve the clarity of the audio just my opinion lol love the pod melo is the man the only guy i feel like i can trust that has two first names for his first and last name lmao keep it up fellas
They gave Klay a max with all of these surgeries before bro at some point you gotta pay people for what they can do vs what they did I get it but damn bro it’s just like when Brooklyn gave Durant a max before he played a season with the Nets
Y’all crazy as hell if Randle coming off the bench. He stay healthy that’s really gone put them over the top with teams like Giannis or Embiid need them dawgs
Re: Drake beef Humoring the passing of the baton metaphor, the credit for the initial shot should go to Meek Mill. Joe Budden really hasn’t done much but live off of Drake’s name for the past 7+ years. 🤷🏾♂️
100 percent agree. They need a force down low. Someone who will block a lot of shots, catch alley oops and play tough defense. You don’t need a scorer down there.
If he didn’t accept the bench role, he actually wouldn’t have won the MVP. He got so much publicity and goodwill out of that bench role that it somehow made the asinine MVP VOTERS think that he deserved more than Steph! Certain people need to be grateful for how their careers turn out, especially when they over-achieve.
Melo has so much wisdom. Being max player who went through a journey in his last few years has given him a lot of perspective. He would make a great GM or VP of Basketball Ops.
What makes this the best podcast is the levity, calmness and informed takes and opinions. None of those crazy hot takes and click bait. But big homies, they did keep both OG and Bridges! Let’s go Knicks
As a sixers fan I remember watching almost every game that Iguodala matched up with Melo and Melo used to dominate him like a mf. It was crazy. A lot of younger people have no idea how unstoppable Melo was in his prime
thats true, but i think the point was that , there's always some entity that infiltrates, just like it did with the black panthers. so it breaks down trust amongst each other
I think black Americans need to be humbled to reach our true potential. Let the world have the nba we could build another where players aren’t exploited by the owners nasty work.
Springfield, Illinois stand up! I’m from Andre’s hometown and grew up watching him & Rich McBride play at Lanphier. I was ball boy for Southeast their rival but always loved watching him fly thru the lane at the convention center City Tournament. As a kid I went to several of his youth camps. When I was in college, after he won finals MVP he came home and I was on his team at an open gym. He lowkey doesn’t miss during workouts It’s been great to have him as the standard for the city #217
This was the best podcast ive seen as of yet generally speaking from every other athlete in the nba who started one not only did yall talk about basketball and how the league manipulates you from the backround you guys touched based on a very important topic as to opening people eyes and these young players who are getting paid all this money that if they unite together they could be very powerful just like our government the league wants to make sure they put people in there place God i hope everyone in the world wakes up that we the people united can never be defeated.
Well when WE played him, Nobody thought that after.. He was #2 in the Country.. He did ok against Us, they won up in Oak Hill.. NOBODY was gonna beat them at THAT gym back then TRUST ME!! Anyway, NON of us made NBA😂.. But a couple of the guys went overseas.. Melo ALWAYS was a DOG though🙌🏽👍🏾
Does anyone ever asked these billionaire owners do they need “all that money”,but if you look at who’s general the owners and who’s the players then you’ll see why that question is never asked.
Iggy cappin in the NIL conversation. And the irony is that the top NIL earners right now are the children of current/former NBA stars, including Melo’s son.
Man iam a fan of the game but these owners are billionaires the money they pay out is nothing not only that every state that player play in they have to pay taxes so as a fan of course you want them to take a pay cut but it is hard to make it to the nba so while you can get as much money as possible and just cause a player doesn’t take a pay cut don’t mean they don’t want to win there other players on the team that can also take pay cuts and if your gonna start with anyone start with the superstars cause they make the most money also when we look at history look at all the players that’s should of been taking care of and they got hurt and then organization switch up on them like cousin-iT-victor Oladipo dose are just to name that foul they did that to Ai he could of left to another team and made way more money then he did in Golden State the fans are crazy
They bugging. Go look at the knicks record in January. With the starting lineup of Brunson Donte Og Randle and I Hart. Their record was better overall after OG came. They are basketball minds but they don't know the knicks
The first 15 minutes of this explains everything about Klay deciding to leave the warriors. It’s pretty funny melo and Andre can live the lives they’ve lived and still walking around feeling victimized haha

The 6th Man is an EXCELLENT read‼️ Best autobiography I've read over the past 10 years ‼️
I gotta get that on audiobook
Thanks for this share. Need to buy and read this book.
I have yet to read listen but I watched his development. Dre was the truth in his own lane so will be interesting.
Great show part two is required. People make sure you request pt 2 if you want more. Great conversation.
Iguodala is the ultimate vet.
Glad Mero made the question about Iverson.
They didn't have a better record without Julius. They had a better record with OG AND JULIUS. Randle gets no respect man
Now we know. It’s gonna be Jalen, Mikal, OG, Julius, Mitch. That’s a beast line up
Hart and Div off the bench is tough
I watched the whole thing. Thanks guys
Damn that hurt Iggy, "you a size 12 at 12 you ain't making the league" 😂😂😂 that's about when I stopped growing for real
Having iggy in a prime position in the players association is great for the young guy to see how to be a professional and use their money well
Great Episode!!
Great convo perfect for this blunt
Igoudala is your boy’s smarter, older brother who just got off work and has time to drop gems. And shoutout Mero🇩🇴 for always making Melo laugh with the subtle jokes 😂
Ive always been indifferent about iggy but this episode was really good
I guess they didn't get the memo that OG is coming back
Sounds like this was recorded before the deal happened….just a guess
@@kwamesarfo-mensah5785yea you right! Now let’s make him bad about his comment. Betcha that’ll teach’m!!!

High level conversation...really enjoying this! Melo broke my heart...wish he would've sign with Bulls and play with Rose and Noah!
Dope and very informative podcast today

These dudes are dropping jewels! Big shout to Iggy. I'm subscribing, liking and sharing!
This podcast means nothing but means everything at the same time
Thankfully it turned out they can keep OG and Mikal and Randle for sure ain't going to the bench. Still a great interview. Always cool to hear Iggy.
Literally paused the episode to watch that fight. Corey magette speed insane 😂😂😂

Great show!!
Salute Bogi

Melo is that dude. That's why Kmart choose him on his all time player draft and mero is hilarious and fits in any environment high-key

Re: Drake beef
Humoring the passing of the baton metaphor, the credit for the initial shot should go to Meek Mill. Joe Budden really hasn’t done much but live off of Drake’s name for the past 7+ years. 🤷🏾♂️

Julius cannot play the 5. Have people not noticed the teams with size are winning. Also when Julius and OG were playing they were 14-2
100 percent agree. They need a force down low. Someone who will block a lot of shots, catch alley oops and play tough defense. You don’t need a scorer down there.
Michael Bridges LOL

Big S/O to Corey Maggette. A name people would never say. 💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥
Iguodala super smart-in a lot of different areas. I can see NBA owners not being a big fan of his. Knowledge is power as they say.
Yes! Much respect to Iggy for spreading the NBA business & financial knowledge to ANY NBA player willing to listen!!!
