We need Anthony edwards on here, shai and lamelo
FACTTTTSS
PLEASEEEE
SHAI FOR SURE
kuminga
Ant Edwards ASAP
Pg gotta get jimmy butler on after the playoffs over that would be an amazing episode
After Miami wins it
Absolutely!
@@ralphperez8212 indeed 😂🏀🔥
Fr Jimmy and PG would be legendary
He gonna be too busy after he wins the chip
I appreciate Jalen saying “we need vets” 💯 and stating what alot of people thought from the outside
Yeah cause let’s be honest John wall doesn’t count as a vet
Ja definitely need a vet, Iggy abandoned them to go back to stability in GS 😂
With the way that coach Silas was coaching it was like they were playing pick up games. This is the first time we got some experience to help our young core.
About time someone puts some light on green . Nobody talks about how good he was last year ! I watched every rockets game and he’s ganna be a all star one day .
Same bro it wasn’t a good year but we stuck it through, rockets are on a come up
I swear all the media and people who are slandering him and the rockets are people who barely watch games and only look at the stat sheet.
One day? Him and Sengun will be Allstars this upcoming season 🚀
i’m from Houston and got to watch him play in personal vs Philly, he’s definitely the future of our franchise. him and Sengun might bring Houston a championship real soon
John wall will be right about him in a few years .
Jalen after getting drafted been much more low-key compared to when he was a high school prospect, so great to see how his headspace has been since becoming a pro
During his rookie season, he was still ERRATIC, ARROGANT, but EXPLOSIVE he's settled in now.
@@lionelhowell4972 how? Bro just works on his craft, hoops, and ignores haters. You talking bout his in game celebrations? Everyone celebrates.
@@justinezekwe4305 Dude I'm not downing this YOUNG talent, I'm just saying he was "BRASH" (trash-talking)as a rookie. Especially against the # 1 pick in Detroit was must-see TV. 👍👍👍
@@lionelhowell4972 almost every player does that lmao
Jalen got not choice but to be humble right now. He’s been one of the worst defender in the league and also the least efficient. He was being compared to Kobe out of High School but now he’s looking more like Jordan Clarkson with with license to shoot. If he doesn’t improve tremendously especially under Ime Udoka. He’ll be more of a journey man/6th man which isn’t bad for most players but awful if you’re picked 2nd overall.
Overhated and underrated. He is going to be an all star within the next few years.
i agree!
mid bottom feeder team
definitely not underrated.. he’s been a inefficient nonwinning player so far.. def over hated tho and still super young with lots of potential to improve
Social media superstar. Another kid that doesn’t actually love the game
@@stephena11 The Rockets literally weren't trying to win games so I can't hate on him for that. People have this weird thing where they know a team is tanking for draft picks but they still pick and choose what player to blame that on.
as a rockets fan, i’m happy to see u bringing JG on here. been a big fan of him since he was a sophomore, and i’m glad to see my favorite yung player play for my city. great episode for sure
Same here and I was geeked when they drafted him and Josh Christopher
Hy this year gon be crazy
😳
For my city but facts I agree😂😂

The interview got better and better as it went on. Jalen definitely got more comfortable as it got going.
Never really followed the Pacers and not really big on the Clippers, so I didn't often think about PG and/or what kind of dude he might be beyond the ballin.' These pods really enlightened me as to what a genuinely good dude Paul is. Thanks for these spotlights!
I live in Houston- and this is my team. I love this. Thank you PG!!! Jalen got a bright future ahead.
Nahh PG reaction to Jackie clowning his donut. Shit got me in tears🤣😂🤣😭

Love this podcast, been tuning in every week since the very first episode! Appreciate you guys showing love for my country 🇵🇭 Mabuhay!
He’s the same as me, I went from a 5’11 bench player my freshman year to a 6’2 SG starter averaging 21 points and now I’m about to transfer schools for more recognition and better competition, plus in a couple months I went from 6’2 to a lil over 6’3 at the moment, NBA is my goal so I’m gonna try my best to get there, hopefully see Jalen at the top one day, only time will tell.
💪🏽
Whats your name?
Keep playing Point Guard bro, even if you grow! You will be a different beast 🙏🏿
Ur not going to play in the nba being a 6 3 sg sorry try pg and maybe you’ll get noticed
Keep in mind Patrick Beverly averaged 40 points in high school and still went undrafted you have to be insane to go to the nba under 6 6
Finally jalen gets his respect!!!! Love it Paul ❤️👍🏽
Happy to see jalen green on here. He definitely should hit kyrie. He comes from the mamba academy I see jalen being that type of player. More footwork will make him a dangerous player even more.
More footwork he gone be a problem
@@dariuswilliams5785 facts !
This Paul George podcast growing on me every day 🔥
Would love to see Alperin Sengun on your cast and hear about his experiences, especially about coming into the NBA and challenges of learning English and slang. So much fun to watch him play! 🏀🏀🏀
in a few years if he is still on radar he needs to be fluent with language . he won't understand most idioms used by PG.
@@haticealbayrak2387 he’s gonna be on the radar but you right he still need a translator for a lot of shit
Great interview PG. So happy someone is highlighting JG . He’s going to be special
You can really see he gets more comfortable as P starts relating w him, love to see it!
Great pod! Great episode!
It's nice to hear all these stories we wouldn't have heard otherwise. Love this pod!
JG x PG, this episode gone be fire 🔥‼️
S/O PG & the crew for bringing Jalen Green on Podcast. Good to see him get some love from Paul George. #Rockets gone make some noise next year, best believe that!!
I'm waiting for this! Always a fresh take PG! Keep em coming, big thank you from your fans! P.S. as a wolves fan here in MN, would you ever think about playing here? We got this guy Rudy making about what you do.. just saying.
My favorite episode so far
Jalen burner 👀
Love my Rockets. Love Jalen, Jabari, and Alpren 🚀
No even a big rockets fan but I’m hoping these guys get the vets and coaching they need there is so much talent and potential. Next couple years will definitely be interesting
Best podcast out right now. All love to everyone else but Podcast P got it on lock
yeah i like this cast more than other podcasts. they remind me of my friends and PG just a chill dude.
this got me so hype. love me some jalen content. future rockets legend....cant wait for his MIP in 2023-24
Podcast P on the road would be fye traveling around maybe doing podcasts at outdoor venues. Loved this episode
This is the best podcast to tune into especially hearing stories from veterans & thank goodness PG made this podcast channel 🙏
He got a good head on his shoulders. Excited to see how is game develops over the next couple of years, Houston has them a star.
when jalen talked about how he hadda tell coach to double when he in the post lmaoo. i respect the real ass stories nc.
That MJ story about the adidas slides funny as hell
Jalen one of my favorite young stars in the league, this made me like him even more
Jalen one of my favorite players I hope they don’t sign harden and let them boys keep developing cause the future is really bright for them, but another good episode PG..superstar on the court and in the podcast world🤝🏾🔥
They won’t sign harden
Harden will help and hurt them at the same time
😁🙏
Culture is shit rn tho
Bring harden back - actual rockets fan
About time we put some shine on Jalen Green. He’s a walking highlight real and a future all star starter.
Who's here after those video's got leaked?!!!🤦🏾♀😭😭
Love the vibes on this show, it feels like we get to be a fly on the wall for a real convo
Appreciate y'all having Jalen Green on the show. Reppin' the H as long as I'm on this earth.🚀
Shoulda asked about his visit to poundtown🤔
JG got so much potential. I think coach Udoka is about to unlock him and the Rockets
We love podcast P🙌🏿
Jalen will be all star this year 4show
JG my favorite player ever but he so league new his interviews is rare I love thissss
Who’s here after the jaylen green vid 💀💀💀💀
Such a solid positive podcast. Like I haven't watched a podcast in a hot minute but I want to come back for sure!
Jalen Green and Anthony Edward's are my two favorite young stars with alot of potential!..💯🖤
Hood they team up one day
This episode is going to be so fire
Jaleeeeen, the Hope of H-town 🚀🔥
Buddy brought up Ray j and Jalen hurts out of nowhere 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭had me in tears
I love PG how humble he is a nice man a real model for younger players it be funny if they had sengun on here to talk about their 2 man game
You can tell they didn’t like John wall Lmaoo
How?
nah him and john wall are actually cool asf
This was a dope episode. Never really knew who JG was but he was cooking my Lakers this season. Dude is COLD
I moved out here to Denver from Houston. And this altitude is no joke AT ALL!
Welcome to Denver from a Rockets fan from Denver. You’ll get used to it, and then you’ll feel like a pro athlete when you go back to sea level lmao
Lmao man I’m from the south too and visited Denver last year and felt like I was gonna die 😂
@@Hendrixxx9427 I tried to play a game of 5s this past weekend and felt like I was gone pass out at half court no bs lmao
@@ridgeeisele9060 😂😂😂
@@garybrice3239 idk how you were able to hoop out there lmao just walking around the city had me gassed 😂😂😂
32:52 “its still Joel he’s huge… PAUSE” 😂😂
Didn’t know PG had a podcast. I only jumped on bc Green was on 😂 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
The brotherhood within the nba players is amazing the way yall look out for each other
PG, Dallas, Jackie.. please bring Derrick Rose on the podcast! He’s the youngest MVP in NBA History, he’s still got such a powerful cultural impact on the game of basketball (just look at his jersey sales even still today) and he’s just very down to earth and one of the biggest what ifs in nba history. Considering Paul has had many matchups with Drose back in his MVP days, it would definitely be a special episode!
appreci8 PG & JG doing this episode.
it shows the sometimes unseen human side of basketball
along with the mentality of being successful in the nba amongst the challenges.
Gotta get Lance, Haliburton, or Danny Granger on the show. Would love to hear Granger’s opinion on the trade in 2014
Granger has to happen
Man I’m ngl Podcast P is my favorite podcast!! Y’all too funny and I love how real y’all r and Jackie is to funny bruh🤣🤣
Only thing Jalen is opening up now are Josh Christopher's legs
Lmao 😂
I'm so glad PG escaped unscathed lmao
Chilll lolllll
Being from the 559, it’s great to see these 2 connect!
Load management the Dunk contest lmaoooo PG wild for that comment
Oh shit ManMan in the comments 😂
Bruh why you take so long to do this podcast PG!!! Your great at it! It’s natural! Top tier content, I watch it all!! Big ups big Homie!🤝🏾
PG gave him some real game on the James harden situation! 💪🏾
The Pod allows me to see PG at a whole diff level. The show Deff becoming a light fav on the Pod community. W episode.
Jalen cool as shit
Factssss
Ion even know why my nigga this shii got me motivated thanks pg13 been rocked wit ya
14:29-14:39 Paul George reaction to Jalen green being able to dunk in the 6 grade 😂😂
best nba podcast ever! PG always bringing out stars.
I happened to watch this cause Jalen Green was on here and I'm from Houston, but this is a good podcast 🤘🏾🚀🏀
“We all think we got some ish, until we play it to somebody “ 😂😂😂
Most underrated young player
Fire ass Podcasts, no dry spots at all, a lot of great moments, I salute y'all 🔥🔥
Paul George got a fire podcast group
Facts i be listening to this podcast at work
PG seem hella personable. Players doing podcasts is 100% the new wave
Finding out Jalen Green could’ve been an Auburn Tiger has ruined my day smh
Damn yo channel grew quick I was watching when it was just 2,000 subscribers no cap💯
we allllll kno why we’re here
Its gettin old
yoo yall for real got the best podcast out there!! keep this up i love it big dawgs
PG can you start putting time stamps in your videos so we know what questions are asked at what time please.
UP man this one
He did
49:27 that “damn” was uncalled for😂😂😂
I was looking for this lmao
Jalen Green hasnt gotten much love or support, im tuned in most ppl have PG as a favorite player for sure.
35:32 the way JG explained this Kyrie 50 piece had me dying 😂😂😂
Being from Houston. Seeing all the great stars who’ve came and gone from Hakeem to Francis/Mobley to Yao/Mcgrady to Dwight/Harden. I’d love for Harden to come back and help this young core. Jalen is destined for greatness nonetheless, but he needs more vets around him like he said. Idk why there’s such a vendetta around Harden returning when in the long run that could ultimately help this group. Idk I may just be looking at the bigger picture but that’s just me
Nah that’s the smaller picture. Harden is a dead end. He’s getting older and slower. He wants to be the number one option again. He disappears in the games they have to win. Because his game was always predicated on getting the calls. Those calls seem to evaporate in the playoffs. In the last series they lost he had 2 good games. That’s it. Plus he has no commitment to his weight management, to busy partying. He will stunt these guys development. That’s the big picture. And for what at best a possible play in team at best. Hell to the nah.
This podcast about to up frfr y’all keep up the guest💯
He getting everyone but Westbrook or Kawhi 😂
russ would be fire
I can almost guarantee he has asked Russ about coming on. But he's the type of dude to spend this time with his family, and weigh out his free agency options for the FIRST TIME in his career, which is crazy. PG not gonna try to force it. But him & russ are tight, I'm sure that he'll come on some point this summer.
@@luigirox8 You got a point. Russ really never been on any podcasts or stuff like that anyways but he’s close with PG so I hope that can be a first. Last time we seen Kawhi on a show was with Serge Ibaka 🤣
Best podcast in the nba hands down never been this excited to see who they bring on next
Jalen Green will be an allstar next season
Inşallah
Hell nah if harden wasn’t a all star and averaged 22 and 11 what make you think avenged 20 on 40% shooting will ?
You know what’s really crazy? How KPJ was objectively a better player then Green this year yet he gets way more hate for them being bad. He was miles ahead of Green in almost every advanced stat on both sides of the ball and put up 19.2ppg 5.3reb 5.7ast 1.4stl 3.2TO 56.5% true shooting and Green had 22.1ppg 3.7reb 3.7ast .8stl 2.6TO 53.8% true shooting. The stats may look not super far apart but in estimated plus minus, Raptor rating, Darko, and estimated wins KPJ was way better it’s not even close. Love Greens potential but he need to completely over haul his game and I wouldn’t be stunned if KPJ remains the better player just saying
This podcast is too good!!! Too original and authentic
bring more rockets on the show P you just gained a sub
by far my fav podcast lately, take care P! thank you for this!
JG cool calm and collected, total opposite of his game 😂 I’m ready for him to polish his game cause bro a ⭐️ in the making frfr
