Isaiah Thomas is giving you FACE! You should've bought him a bottle of Aces Champagne, and RESPECTED him by wearing suits. That's why JORDAN will NOT appear on your show, because you lack CLASS, etiquette, and RESPECT. * Giving a basketball legend props from your endorsers and t-shirts to promote your show, is below petty. He is NOT a punk fan. He is an established gentleman, entrepreneur, ambassador and hall of famer legend. Jackson, you talk about LAST DANCE not giving Zeke a check for appearing on the show, but you guys don't pay him either, and stoop so low to give him a sh*tty carry bag to endorse your show and products. How can you look in the mirror? Watch @ 3:08 see Stephen Jackson... LIAR said you forgot about that, in an elevated tone of voice, then moments later when Zeke stares you down, you finch and said you remember that. Which is it? You remember or you don't? Here is a REMINDER. ua-cam.com/video/5d03Ma9_SK4/v-deo.html
Bro, this man saved your career! How you “forgot about that story”??? And you still skated around telling the story but you laughing at Zeke with Oakley? #makeitmakesense though. All the stories you have and you “forgot” Zeke saved your career. The first thing you should’ve did on set and on camera was give this man his flowers and tell your audience about how you were out the league until Isiah put the call in for you. You still ain’t even address that story head on even after Zeke urged you to. But you turn around and laughing at him. He told you he owned the CBA and you said it was the worst shit ever..? Wow bro.
I've been watching NBA since 1965. This is the best and realest conversation I've ever heard by a player. Thank you Zeke.
You’re a liar talking ‘bout since 1965😂
Which ere was your favorite?
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yeah. After I heard him on the Pivot Podcast and thought the same thing.
@@zamirandrews3389 You always love the era of your youth best I think. At least for me the era of WIlt and Russell and the clash of Sixers and Celtics (I lived in Philly at time) was really special. Jerry West, Baylor, Oscar etc. Next was the early 200s Sacto Kings (was living in Sac) was so fun to watch. Then came the Warriors run which has been so so good. I lived in Bay Area for many years and was there for the Warriors 1975 chip. I mostly missed the Jordan era, Life intervened.
1:16:49 Zeke turned into a villain so fast lol he super checked Stephen Jackson for cackling with Oakley damn I love Zeke 😂
💯🤣🤣🤣🤣
On souls 💯
“Isiah saved me 😉”
I thought Jack was a real one until I seen he was laughing at him on a earlier episode only snakes do that
Stephen is a real lame to laugh at Isiah like he did with Oakley and sit here in this interview and kiss his ass! #fakeAF
“Words carry Weight” Isaiah is one of the realest athletes to ever live!!! Salute to ATS for bringing one of the GOATS on the pod. The real Zeke!!
@papalane2729
Speak for yourself. Isiah Thomas is a pathological liar and a scumbag. He's envious and jealous of Michael Jordan.
Why would a cultural and global icon like Michael Jordan want to go on this show to talk to Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes? For what exactly? They're both two clowns.
Yeah he so real he didn’t want to shake MJs hands when they lost to Bulls. Made up some dumb excuse about ppl didnt shake hands back than, tho MJ shook his hands every time he lost to them. Way to keep it real Zeke!!
Lol he might as well have said ‘water is wet’ and you’re like WOW!! WHAT A PROFOUND STATEMENT! smh lol no wonder him and magic used to get along.
@@Airzy_723 they didn't. Celtics did the same sh.
words are all the weight in society they make people do everything they do and cause all the deviation from the truth.
I will click on any and every interview Zeke, Warren Sapp, John Salley, and KG do they all just give phenomenal interviews
Good to hear somebody give Mark Jackson the credit he deserve 💯
(28:14)
FACTS👏👏👏
Yes, many coaches wouldn't have the guts to make that decision.
I remember when Mark was getting fired he said Steph and Klay was different and would change the game it’s crazy
agreed I never understand why hes not hired yet ? mans a good coach the warriors wouldnt be the warriors without him
@@ec5018 Warriors fan here who watched every game for them back then. I agree Mark deserves a lot of credit, but to me more so defensively. He made the Warriors a really good defensive team. Where he fell short imo was his offensive system. He played Steph at a heavy usage in a PNR offense. When Kerr came in their offense got a lot better because it incorporated more ball movement and Steph playing off ball, concepts Kerr got from Phil Jackson and Pop. They jumped from 12th to 2nd in offensive rating. I think Mark should get another shot but I think the Warriors had a hit a ceiling with him as their coach
Isiah is a brilliant, thoughtful, and tough shining example of Black Manhood. He is also sweet and sensitive, and ever so brave in the way he allows himself to be vulnerable. This interview was hilarious, deep, touching, and enlightening. It don't get no better than that. Much props to Zeek, Matt and Stak on this one.
💯🎯🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
It's scary to think about how much of what he said went over people's heads duet o conditioning and outright hatred. Zeek is the true definition of a Detroit Superstar. Someone who don't get the credit he deserves for the greatness that he displays.
Man really told the real lore to all of this 💀
The last 10 minutes of this was some really deep shit!!!!!
I feel for the okie doke … much respect now
Exactly Zeke really exposed the nba😳😳😳😳😳I always knew it was brainwashing but hearing it from him & really seeing how these narratives are created was shell shocking 80% of ppl are really controlled & told what to BELIVE & what to do & say as well hegemony I learned so much from this🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💯
@@carolynhayes6804 yeah they definitely have spent a crazy narrative over 40 years. I’m glad the social media/ internet has exposed things from yesteryear for what they really were not how they were told lol
This was a real “ALL THE SMOKE “ interview !
Zeke is a real dude man, a legend that should be loved way more. What he's done in basketball and for basketball, as a Black Man and for the black community is unmatched.
You know I had said the Magic Johnson episode was the best I had watched so far and then I really enjoyed watching Chuck.... but honest to God I've got chills right now this was the absolute best episode they have ever had!!! I am so Super 110% glad they had Isaiah Thomas on here!! This was phenomenal!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank *GOD* this was a two-part episode! Zeke was out here dropping 💎💎
As a man born in ‘94 this interview has made me respect Isiah Thomas so much more than I ever expected. The man’s a living legend. Salute.
Best interview. Zeke is a living legend
He was sexually harassing women when he worked for the Knicks
I agree so good it was part 2
Actually like him after this session. Haven’t since the late 80s
@jordanmoody3201
Living legend of what exactly? 🤣
@@KINGAMIIAMKING a motherfucking legend.
Six years ago I named my son Isiah as a sign of admiration and respect for the determination and will of this man. Hats off.
My son is also named Isaiah….spelled with the second ‘a’, but a great name nonetheless.
SMH 🤦🏽♂️ o ok 🤷🏽♂️ must not have had a daddddy 🇬🇧 🇵🇰
The last 10 minutes of this interview, where Mr. Thomas expounds upon the "draft, free-agent, trade" analogy....POWERFUL!!!!😲
LEGENDARY INTERVIEW. *Isiah sat down with you guys and wore his heart on his sleeve.* R-E-S-P-E-C-T. This episode here was dope! Real smoke, so much smoke! Congrats to you guys for pulling this off.
You have great taste. I agree totally.
*on his sleeve.
Bu yes, great interview. Especially the Jordan Rules.
@@butchmondpunani9388 Honestly, I was typing instinctively and I totally didn't notice that I made that error. Yes, I am aware of the "...heart on his sleeve" idiom but I somehow made that typing error. *Thanks for bringing that to my attention.* I never would've noticed it if you didn't tell me.
I’m man enough to admit that this 2 part interview with Isiah has changed my whole perception on him. He’s a great businessman and the ultimate competitor. I’m forever a fan moving forward
Mad respect to Isiah Thomas..should have been on the 92' DreamTeam!!!
Sure as hell should've been.
Born and raised in Detroit. I never was a Piston fan but always liked Zeke. Each interview I see my respect is through the roof with this man! #11
One of the greatest X and O's players in NBA history.🏀💯 Mark jackson was black balled as an NBA coach, he was the blueprint for the Warriors.
LOL at Jack for asking Zeke if he was shooting in the ocean because of his crazy three point percentage. It was also funny when he said the bubble crap don't count when the Nuggets went to the conference finals.
Loved this interview with HOF Isiah Thomas!He provided great insight of his life especially with my Detroit Pistons!I am so proud of Isiah Thomas as well as the Up in smoke interviewers Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes!God bless you all!
In my book these interviews with legendary Isiah Thomas is the best ever on All Smoke
So far 👍👍
***Standing Ovation*** 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Absolutely awesome interview! 👊🏾
Gained even more respect for Isiah. Dude really did things that have never been discussed. He owned the CBA at one point…..🤯🤯🤯🤯
He was trying to get the NBA to make the CBA the main development league for players......They made him give it up because he was chosen to coach the Pacers only for the NBA to create the G League 2 years later.
Best Interview ever!!! He is like the uncle we all want.
"I was kinda good" Zeke, you were great.
Who beat everyone on the dream team #11🏀🐐
LOL!!! As he said don't call him a beast or any kind of animal. He definitely was a problem :)
@@rampaige4355 😎
Dude is my favorite old player ever. His personality and sense of humor are great. Not one of the salty old players not trying to flex or anything super humble dude.
Exactly you can’t say he salty. He won back2back in the HEAT of it
I love how absolutely CALM this man is. I can listen to him all day
Detroit in the building, 7 mile, thank you zeke for showing us how a real gentleman communicates, and handles business, superb interview.
What up doe?! I grew up on 7 mile.
7 Mile and Ryan here till I was twelve, westside after that.
The year was 1993, I was 12yrs old in the 7th grade at Miller Middle School in Detroit… Had a class field trip to the Palace of Auburn Hills, this was in June so it was hot as hell… So we did everything in there from playing basketball on the court to eating where the players & families sit and eat at to how the PA system work, like full on tour… Now we’re at the end of the trip, haven’t seen not one Piston player all day… We’re getting ready to walk out of the palace and I’m ahead of the pack solo… We’re heading towards the coach buses, so I’m holding the door open waiting for all the other folks to walk out &💥 BOOM💥 Zeke comes out of another door in the hallway and for what felt like forever he dab me up, hugged me, gave me dribbling drills advice, and to continue to work hard in school talk all before being swarmed by classmates & teachers… This is the “BEST” in-depth interview of Zeke I ever seen👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you
Top 3 interview. Learned so much from Isiah. LEGEND.
Much respect, this is their best episode
I love Isaiah Thomas every time I hear him talk I'm captivated and the older that I've gotten The more I've come to appreciate him
What an intellectual mind! I honestly wish there was a part 3, 4, 5, ……. and so on. Whole new level of respect for Mr. Thomas.
Grew up a Bad Boys fan, my respect for Isiah and this team just grows with time
Next guest should be Larry Bird ☘️
I was always impressed with Zeke as a player but wow love the way he weaves a story and keeps it on the real
He definitely weaves a tale.. his own narrative. Mostly lies. Guy is a snake in the grass
these two parts of this interview is probably my favorite episode behind the shaq episode
Wow I’d never in my wildest dreams think that Isaiah Thomas would be one of y’all best episodes. This is up there with the KG episode!
Yessir. Gotta recognize. Best small PG ever besides Steph.. an steph not really a PG he a Combo guard.
That's an educated man who holds a master's in education.
One of the most enlightening interviews ever
All The Smoke family, THANK YOU for this 2-part interview. It was an awesome interview. I grew up watching Isiah and the bad boys pistons. Thank you Isiah for the great years. Great player and person.
MJ is going to take this interview personally
Yeah.
Who cares smh get your mouth off his Johnson 🤡🤡🤡
good lol
Doubt it. We know the truth behind all this. Zeke can do these interviews & play victim if he wants lol. Stop it
@@damienhodges9761 😂😂😂 like Oakley said “I kno why you mad Isiah , he came to your city and took your city that’s why you really mad , he took over Chicago !”
Best interview ever. Matt and Jack were so intrigued with Isiah and his wealth of information. He really impacted the league and stood for something. Great job. I'm sure I'll share and watch again.
I showed up in a 3 piece suit not no jogging pants !
hint hint** MB & SJ 😂😂
Facts . They gonna need to coordinate outfits with future guest. Mr. Thomas was throwing elder, church pastor shots.
I watched both 1 and 2 back to back. This show is bringing all kinds of smoke! This was that good-good!
I wish they had a transcript for this conversation because he dropped so many gems
Absolutely a Fantastic Interview !!!! I hope they win an Emmy for this one.
I agree. I was happy they let it go for 2 hours.🙏
I always enjoy listening to Isiah Thomas interviews. He has some of the best stories.
As an MJ and Kobe fan, this was one of the most eye-opening interviews that I've ever watched. I always thought Isiah was a salty man but I see now he's a basketball genius and a great man. It is true that in old highlights we only see the plays in which MJ got hit, but everybody would get hit back then. And his explanation of it was so logical and true, I lost a little respect for Jordan him going to the office complaining about them actually. And that Kobe story and the admiration in his eyes was so dope. I developed a ton of respect and love for Isiah after this interview. Media always mess everything up for the sake of marketing. This is a TRUE LEGEND with steel balls. Thank you for the history lesson, Zeke!
Forreal, they've created a false narrative around that man
Best all the smoke to date. Thank you Zeke for the education lesson 🙏🏾
This Was Special Man…Zeke Really Took His Time With This And Respectfully Came With All The Smoke….A True Smooth OG…
Great Interview Fellas!! Much Props and Respect Zeke
Awesome interview. Hopefully this touches the heart of others.
Pt 2?! I was wondering why the first didn’t end in typical fashion 😂 Only for the Pistons LEGEND! Black King 🙏🏿🫡
I have really really really enjoyed this because I feel like Isaiah is finally getting to say things you just can't say with these other reporters that maybe went to college to get a reporting degree or whatever they call it.... Matt and Stack are the real deal and they know what's up and so players can talk to them and tell everything the way it should be!!! This is the absolute best show out there hands down for players for fans! For anybody who loves this game this is the show to be watching
Wow this is hands down the best interview I’ve seen in a while 💯
*I'm an 80 baby and seen it all, Zeke and dem bois was beating MJ up by any means necessary. With that said, back then, it was a part of the game from the black top to the wood floors.*
One of the best interviews I’ve heard … will be watching again
Just finished watching part 2 well done guys !! Voted for y'all too good luck y'all deserve it!!
I know most like the cute jokes and all but Zeke is arguably the best to do it on and off the court. Nothing but love and respect to the OG for how he carries himself.
The world needed to hear this. Shoutout to All the Smoke for giving him his flowers while he’s still with us.
I am so glad y’all made 2 parts to this interview. It is the best one of them all and the first one I plan to listen to twice.
Much love! Great interview!! Especially a 2 part one! Isiah, one of the Goats 👊👊
My favorite episode yet. I could listen to Zeke talk all day. I have a new appreciation for him after these interviews.
Best Interview ever.
Always loved and love Isiah Thomas
Congrats to Matt and Jack
Loved every bit of this discussion. All The Smoke stays real wit it!! 👊🏾🤝🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾💯
Loved this entire interview!!
That closing segment where he talks about how the NBA player is dehumanized was profound. Food for thought.
Right. That’s why everyone was coming down hard on some of these “analyst” shows because they were talking about those players as if they were some alien monsters not deserving of respect.
I don’t know if there was a more realer and more Informative interview on this show but man.. This was something 💯🙌🏽 All the Smoke man ya did it again!!
Isiah always has interesting stories all over UA-cam
Much love and Respect to the OG ✊🏾🤘🏾💪🏾 one of the best interviews to date
This was my favorite episode y’all done this was intriguing educational and dope
All the smoke continues with the 🔥 interviews. Give this man his respect beat Jordan, Bird, Drexler and Magic to get his rings.
And they all beat him 😂
@@PeePeeMilkand got more chips he was in the league when Mike got his 3peat!
@@cutc2k764 Old and injured. Y'all scrapping unto straws at this point
@@cutc2k764 is this how much u guys love mike or is this a zeke hate
@@tomsea6017 Isiah is 2 years older than Mike. Stop with that bullshit
Great interview part 1 and 2. Love to hear zeke talk. We need more part 2 interviews. Season 4 is 🔥. Great jobs guys❤
Great honest interview!!!! A true legend
Great interview!!! Real talk no bs….!
Great interview. Seen most of them and this one may be my favorite. Zeke has way more depth to him than I ever imagined.
Best episode to date!!! Thanks Stak and Matt.
“I know a little judo.” This is conversation at the highest levels. Fantastic episode. Ya’ll’s candor and comfort level with your guests is unreal.
matt, stephen: you guys are soooo fun to listen to, bless your hearts & thank you for what you do!!!!
So glad somebody giving Mark Jackson flowers 🌺🌹
Nearly 4 hours of I. Thomas sharing knowledge and stories still not enough. What a brilliant mind !
I feel the same way.
That was a very enlightening interview. I truly enjoyed it. I can listen to Isaiah all day and I love the questions that you guys ask. Good job!
Again Great Interview Fellas!!! Much Respect Zeke!!!!
Man so much game in these two episodes.. Real legend
Best All The Smoke Episode. So good it needed 2 parts. Zeke dropping bombs of knowledge and insights. West Side in da House!!! 🏀🔥👍
This was 1 of the best interviews💯💯
This interview was so enjoyable.
Coach Jackson gave them kids the super green light cuz he knew wat he had
I can exactly recall when he said THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOOTING BACKCOURT OF ALL TIME like in yr 1 or 2 when KLAY was still coming in and steph had the ankle injuries and ppl were questioning would he last. They laughed at MARK JACKSON now are they the best maybe but it definitely was closer to the truth than false
This interview is 🔥
Well played ZEKE !!!! How you forget about this man saving you job
I watched every interview of Zeke at least 2 or 3 times each. This interview definitely the best. He did so many good things about 🏀, passing knowledge, helping to made NBA better and he almost never mentioned that. And you can see he got so many respect wherever he goes but still he deserves more. You can only repest him more after watching this interview. Thanks for this great show 👏👏👏
Zeke,One of My Favorite Point Guards!!!!✊🏾✊🏾🏀🏀
New found respect for isiah after this episode. Well spoken.
He is so smart.
thanks to all the smoke... these stories are amazing. never knew they are part of what we see.
Zeke should be voted in as commissioner of any sports league. Especially NBA.
legendary interview 🔥
Already love the show, but this episode was epic!!
Great interview
