fr im prolly gonna be reading his stuff now this is why I find the series so cool man cause these guys tryna make their way in a packed community can get a shot to shine and hell we can benefit by finding new great content
I’d be lying to you if I said I knew who this guy is before this video, but he’s so damn knowledgeable on the Raptors, bringing the stats and philosophy to the table. Glad you had him on Kenny
Man I'm really loving this new series. Even if I'm not a fan of the team, these conversations are really interesting and get you ready for next season. Hope this becomes an annual thing. Edit: Just wanted to clarify since I realized that sorta comes off as a slight to Toronto, I was talking in general even if it's not a team I root for the conversations are engaging. Not that I don't like Raptors. 😅
I’m just gonna say Kenny don’t let the views get on you for this series because as a basketball fan that tries to keep up with every team this shit is so good to watch
It’s weird to me that Scottie was viewed as a project with super high potential but also bust potential, and than when he’s good right out of the gate, people now act like he has no potential
The guy is a worker and has heart and the personality to be a stud down the line, he's going to keep improving every year especially since he's in Toronto. He could become the greatest raptor of all time. If we let him handle the ball more you'll see him take a giant leap, he's a playmaker at his core.
I think I like this one the best so far. This guest was really nice and you two got along super well. Keep up the good work Kenny and way to highlight some other basketball creators! Really nice of you to do that.
yo, Kenny is such an incredible interviewer. On top of the fact that he platforms niche, regionally based sports writers, he also does his research, establishes a rapport, and then explores subjects that each of them wanna discuss. And bro is in the myleague hall of fame just to cap it off
Kenny GREAT PUll picking Samson Folk for the Raptors part of this project. He has such an easy, smiling, damn near soft really, vibe that it is incredibly easy to overlook how razor sharp his mind is. Now as a Raptors fan I've of course got the advantage because I've been following him for years. But he is on the 'come up' as this past year he was interviewed by Kevin O'Connor and now of course by Kenny. I shit you not, and I follow damn near everybody, he is one of the best bar none, when it comes to understanding and explaining how NBA teams really run their offenses and defenses. The kind of guy for example that knows the difference between 'Spain' and 'Delay' and exactly how that translates to player movement and percentile outcomes. Crazy level of attention to detail. So again. GREAT PULL my man. It shows great research and great instincts on your part.
two of the most positive, good-spirited NBA content creators/analysts out there. so happy to see this (along with all the team-specific interviews), hope for more in the future!
Scottie really feels like he can bring what Vince Carter did in the 2000s. He has the same mega-watt smile, infectious energy and media prowess. He's such a natural star. And the way he embraced toronto and canada as a whole means he'll be beloved here for decades to come.
Huge raptors fan and have been following Kenny for years being he’s my favourite nba channel because it’s chill and unbiased. Never really came across the guest channel before but loved his takes, they were well said and informative and somehow unbiased and as neutral as possible love that!
The name of the game with Scottie is versatility he can Damn near do everything on the court. His defensive potential is sky high and his playmaking upside is extremely underrated when he starts to develop the scoring instincts Toronto got a Mega Star on their hands
There are players and coaches on other teams I love, but the Raptors are my favorite organization as a whole. They have never been a preferred destination for free agents, so they've made up the difference with great management and development.
WOW! Raptors republic has a voice that I can get behind. He’s my favorite person that Kenny’s Head on in this series and Dave already been subscribed to almost everyone already except for him
Seeing all the love for Samson in these comments make me so happy. He’s genuinely one of the best basketball writers out there. He knows his stuff and he’s so well spoken about it. Great video!
This is a great concept Kenny, and this was a great pick for Raptors content. Do this during off-season and you have quality and diverse content for years. Respect 🙏🏽
Kenny this series is such a great idea and you’re executing it very well! This is the best interview yet, really impressive work it made me interested in the raptors this year and in Sampson’s work as a whole
Raptors vs Mavericks are gonna be the 2 most fun games of the season. You got Scottie, Gary Trent, Pascal, OG, Precious, FVV and Boucher vs Luka, Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney Smith, Maxi Kleber, Christian Wood, Dwight Powell and Bullock
His personality is what sold me on him when watching Scottie in workouts or casual NBA games he literally was yelling in excitement after dunks at worst I saw him as a high energy glue guy with elite play making
I hate when people say he’s reached his ceiling then say Cade will be a superstar like come on bro you don’t gotta criticize someone to appreciate someone else
Damn man iv watched every ep so far and Samson by far the most knowledgable guest. Really learned a lot listening to him and it was just your typical fan style discussion. Great job Kenny!
I’m a big Raptors fan and think I know all the big names in the media, but Samson kinda flew under my radar. Very knowledgeable. Definitely going to follow him more now.
Great pick for the series, Kenny. Never heard of this guy before, but definitely interested in reading some of his stuff now. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
GREAT VIDEO!!!! Shout out to you Kenny for showing some love for the Raps. Not many big influencer and media platforms give attention toward the team like this.
This is top tier content. I know it’s not killing it w/ views, but I hope you understand how QUALITY it is. It’ll be a series people can watch all off-season. Don’t let #’s discourage you on this.
wanna see Scottie win. we from the same city it feel like I watched dis man grow fr we came from nothin , and he plays for my 2nd favorite team. And y’all trippn I was almost too excited about spicy p when we drafted him I couldn’t wait for him show everybody and people thought I was crazy ngl
Them talking about it being hard to predict early in a career "this guy is it" is usually true.. but Scottie Barnes is an exception. Not just by his skill, but his fearlessness is the biggest giveaway that he's gonna be great.
Besides the guys on the podcast. Today's guest has been my favorite that you've interacted with. Both of yall were knowledgeable and entertaining. Great job on this series kenny!
I was expecting for you to talk to Agent bc he is one of the most popular Raptor fans on yt, but this was definitely the right choice. You can tell he knows a lot about his team and basketball in general.
If I had one word to describe Scottie it would be HUNGRY because I think he's going to be that kind of player that always wants to do more for himself and for his team and that will lead to success for years to come, his future is amazingly bright can't wait for the upcoming season

Very amicable
Samson is one of the best we have in raptor land
That's Kenny baby
Lol I was about to state the same thing, kudos
I’d be lying to you if I said I knew who this guy is before this video, but he’s so damn knowledgeable on the Raptors, bringing the stats and philosophy to the table. Glad you had him on Kenny
The Raptors republic UA-cam channel is great

As a Raptor fan and a Canadian, seeing you cover this is so exciting. Raps get like no coverage for being in Canada.
True
Very exciting
You may believe this but its definitely not true. Raptors are probably one of the ten most talked about teams in NBA media fr
@@ClanSbC lmao cap
@@EezoTheChezo Raptors haven't been relevant since Kawhi Leonard won them their championship
I’m just gonna say Kenny don’t let the views get on you for this series because as a basketball fan that tries to keep up with every team this shit is so good to watch
It’s weird to me that Scottie was viewed as a project with super high potential but also bust potential, and than when he’s good right out of the gate, people now act like he has no potential
True
Prior to the season people had him as a surprise 3-4 pick and had both Giannis and Kawhi comparisons
Now people act like he's hit the fan
Exactly what I was just about to comment
The guy is a worker and has heart and the personality to be a stud down the line, he's going to keep improving every year especially since he's in Toronto. He could become the greatest raptor of all time. If we let him handle the ball more you'll see him take a giant leap, he's a playmaker at his core.

For real!! This interview was a killer🔥🔥
That’s Canadians for you! But I agree with you, great episode!
yo, Kenny is such an incredible interviewer. On top of the fact that he platforms niche, regionally based sports writers, he also does his research, establishes a rapport, and then explores subjects that each of them wanna discuss. And bro is in the myleague hall of fame just to cap it off
and putting one of samson’s videos in the endcard is a really nice move to top off, talk about supporting other creators/writers
Ayeee big ups for speaking on the Raps bro! Keep being a legend Kenny 🤝

So again. GREAT PULL my man. It shows great research and great instincts on your part.
Can’t wait to see Scottie develop, such a versatile player
@Raytheslay sadly ur parents don’t love you
@Raytheslay L
@Raytheslay Sadly you got ratiod
@Raytheslay what a troll lmao
That's what I loved about him he's a Draymond 2.0 kind of guy and I fuck with that so hard (Dray is my favorite player)
kenny, i hope you dont look at the view counts of this series and feel discouraged- it's pure gold and it deserves a lot more attention
Let’s go! Raptors Republic and Kenny For Real! My two worlds have merged!!! Samson is an OG!
two of the most positive, good-spirited NBA content creators/analysts out there. so happy to see this (along with all the team-specific interviews), hope for more in the future!

Kenny you’d probably like The Raptors Show with Will Lou and Alex Wong. They have great vibes and remind me of TTW in a weird way
They're too biased
@@Killerqueen2000 ...it's called The Raptors Show
@@Killerqueen2000 it’s a raptors show from the perspective of raptors fans??? What did you expect???
They are meh. Don't really know ball straight up. And will lou head is massive
@@demarcdegasol bruh will knows way more of the nerdy nitty gritty aspects of the game than most main stream analysts and you gotta live a big head
Huge raptors fan and have been following Kenny for years being he’s my favourite nba channel because it’s chill and unbiased. Never really came across the guest channel before but loved his takes, they were well said and informative and somehow unbiased and as neutral as possible love that!
As a Raptors fan seeing you talk about the Raptors and what you think of Scottie Barnes I’m really happy that you covered this topic
as a casual nba fan, you’re putting me on to a lot of great people in the nba world with these vids. congrats on the great work kenny
I'm such a Folk-head I'm so glad you had him on to talk raps. He really gives his audience credit and dives deep into basketball knowledge.
The name of the game with Scottie is versatility he can Damn near do everything on the court. His defensive potential is sky high and his playmaking upside is extremely underrated when he starts to develop the scoring instincts Toronto got a Mega Star on their hands

Watching dudes who genuinely love the game of basketball is so dope. Keep it up Kenny 💯
this guy is a great find for this series. he’s so knowledgeable and obviously loves the game more than enough
As a raps fan I do believe it considering how good Scottie was as a rookie and how good we’ve developed players like og siakam and vanvleet
samson is a very well spoken individual. way to represent the raptors nation 🙌
WOW! Raptors republic has a voice that I can get behind. He’s my favorite person that Kenny’s Head on in this series and Dave already been subscribed to almost everyone already except for him
He’s so well spoken!!!!!
bro summed up exactly how i feel about this 30 for 30 think you’re doing, definitely taking the opportunity to share the wealth. i respect it
Seeing all the love for Samson in these comments make me so happy. He’s genuinely one of the best basketball writers out there. He knows his stuff and he’s so well spoken about it. Great video!
Scottie Barnes is gonna be Torontos guy in the future
What a great representation for our fanbase! Would love to see more collabs in the future, this was fire Kenny
This is a great concept Kenny, and this was a great pick for Raptors content. Do this during off-season and you have quality and diverse content for years. Respect 🙏🏽

I had the pleasure of watching him play here at FSU, great player and cool dude. I’m a Fan forever
His personality is what sold me on him when watching Scottie in workouts or casual NBA games he literally was yelling in excitement after dunks at worst I saw him as a high energy glue guy with elite play making
Kyle Lowry is the consensus Greatest Raptor Ever amongst our fan base over Vince, Bosh, Derozan, and Kawhi.
As an unbiased raptors fan, even though Scottie just won roty he's still underrated IMO.
I hate when people say he’s reached his ceiling then say Cade will be a superstar like come on bro you don’t gotta criticize someone to appreciate someone else
Who tf is crazy enough to say that a 20 year old ROY has reached their ceiling lmao
Not one person has ever said he’s reached his ceiling and I’m literally a Raptors fan😭

Samson might be my favorite guest so far
This is arguably my favorite series ever thanks Kenny
I’m a big Raptors fan and think I know all the big names in the media, but Samson kinda flew under my radar. Very knowledgeable. Definitely going to follow him more now.

Samson Folk the best in the business, great video Kenny
Such a great conversation. I can’t wait to see and hear Kenny all over NBA media.
I love this series for real. Deep and passionate analysis that we don’t always see on UA-cam
these last two team specific podcast-style videos have been great!
Kenny if this isn’t all recorded already you need to do Detroit pistons with Krispy flakes and Warriors with Athletic Alchemy
Nah bro @7man is always talking about how great the warriors are
This dude was super cool, first time I’ve seen Kenny out of his depth talking hoops.
maaaaan the work kenny puts into his videos is crazy! he is no doubt in my mind the best sports youtuber on the platform. and this series is 🔥🔥
Besides the guys on the podcast. Today's guest has been my favorite that you've interacted with. Both of yall were knowledgeable and entertaining. Great job on this series kenny!
