The things JJ does are incredible, especially when talking about off-ball rip screens. His X’s and O’s are very good, almost coaching level stuff. But LeBron takes away from it, being an attention grabbing on the podcast as a clickbaiter and someone who needs attention. The Old Man and the Three is what I will stick to.

Among the things I like about the pod, I gotta say both of JJs intro beats are legit. OM3 has that grimey 90s EC style. And this intro reminds me of like a Madlib, Dilla or phase 1-2 of RZA. Sweet show so far 🤙🏼

Love the technical basketball content! But stop mansplaining the W Lebron! Tell me one player who has “hated” on Caitlin Clark. Show me the actual quote, I’ll wait

I lost respect if Lebron when he talked sh_ _ about his teammates. I lost respect when JJ thinks he can be a NBA HC without any coach experience in the NBA or NCAA. Lebron loves attention. JJ IS CONDESCENDING. Sincerely, Kobe’s Fan Lakers’ Fan

Love this pod because I learn about basketball in ways I could never, from the way that these two present it, analyze it, see it from above. But if you’re looking for vernacular, tea, this isn’t for you. This pod breaks down the game hyper-specifically and you better want that, the way Detail did on ESPN!

Love this podcast. It’s great to hear basketball ideas straight from nba greats and they really pick apart the game. For people listening and not watching the podcast it can be sometimes difficult to follow the plays but otherwise it’s a a great pod.

Could y’all PLEASE be a little more descriptive for the audio only fans? I only listen to these pods during my drives, I don’t really have time to sit down and watch YouTube. But when you’re explaining a play and say “I’ll be HERE, they’ll be right THERE” it’s hard to envision what you’re talking about. So just a small request to Mind the Audio Fans lol when describing a play- as simple as “I’ll be at the TOP OF THE KEY, x2 is on the RIGHT BLOCK and runs up to the RIGHT WING” etc etc. whatever. that would greatly improve the listening experience. Keep doing your thing!

On the first round elimination

Love hearing you talk all things basketball

Excellent X’s and O’s conversations, super technical and informative. Before this podcast I didn’t even know what a pick and roll was. Now I’m the coach of the Bucks, thank you 10/10.

Len Dawson, Nick Buoniconti, Chris Collinsworth, and Jerry Glanville give in-depth commentary on Mike Ditka’s flavor gum and the 731 chews he gives each piece. The guys then discuss why Tony Dungy drives to the Midwest in search of remote soy fields to dig small holes where he deposits foul language into them. They look into Bill Parcells shopping lists and why he will never even buy kraft products and calls the company “sucked”. Jerry and Chris get into a heated debate over Jeff George’s neck hair affecting his accuracy on the long ball. Finally Len, Nick, Chris, and Jerry welcome Dan Marino into the studio to talk about throwing motions while wearing Isotoner gloves.

This is a dope podcast. They give a lot of insight into the game of basketball. I never heard it broke down like this before. They get very deep into how and why plays are ran and what some players are good at. Very technical, very good podcast.

Please shout me out! - Nathan Hughes. LeBron is the goat I don’t care what anyone says about Jordan, jordan was playing against plumbers bro, and lebrons playing against beast today like jokic, Giannis,and jordan had a rlly good team, LeBron is carrying the lakers. He’s the best player of all time,

I guess if you enjoy the science of basketball this is for you. I love basketball but the Xs and Os don’t grab my attention. I thought this would be about past stories. No thanks. Also what’s the point of taking about visual plays when this is a audio podcast

This is my favorite pod to listen to right now. The amount of knowledge that LeBron and JJ share about the game of basketball is incredible. Being able to listen to the best player in the history of the game talk about basketball is an amazing experience. If one of you reads this review and wants to give me pointers on how to play the game, my number is (865) 661-8611

Love it, I coach 14U boys, 17U boys AAU and Rec and have forced my players to watch learn and listen to JJ and Lebron. Get into the stats see what you need to work on and as a coach it forces me to answer the questions how do you defend this play or action great work keep it high level don’t dumb it down for the casuals!

This is a fantastic pod. Truly enjoying it because it goes into detail about basketball. Excellent!!

Always an incredible listen. Can’t wait for more. A must for any basketball fan!

Lebron and Redick form a great podcast going into statistics and mental parts of modern day basketball. Both playing pro basketball (Can’t believe Lebron’s still going 👴🏿👴🏿👴🏿) they can form value incites truly showing that NBA players are more than just pieces of some team. I love this podcast and lebron (#GOAT).

Yep!

Enjoyed watching Bron play bbal for 18 years. Enjoying listening to him and JJ talk about the game

First of all, this program is Excellent! My name is David Stirliz, I’m a young journalist from Cuba who has dedicated last 3 years to studying basketball. So, I think this episodes, for the moment, had been very important to me and my way to see basketball right now. The perspective of a current player as LeBron and a former like JJ set the difference between this podcast and other shows related to basketball. However, the way they communicate the info is very fluid.From the bottom of my heart! Thanks Bron, Thanks JJ

I can listen to Bron all day and JJ I love him because he knows the game of ball as well !

I love the show It’s one of the best out right now talkin about the intricacies of playing basketball. One thing I’d like to point out is sometimes in the audio format Place on the court can be lost when describing play lay out. I’d just ask you to be a bit more descriptive when describing where players and positions on the court are during plays.

But please get rid of the long intro vocab explanation session for the pod. Seems like it was intended for video format but it’s terrible for audio only.

Even if you’re not a huge fan of either player, their discussions should be interesting to any basketball fan. Insightful, honest podcast.

I don’t listen to many podcast mostly will watch small clips on social media. I enjoyed this podcast/episode. JJ has created a new career on the media side and I love it. I HATED him at Duke because he was so good and I’m a UNC fan. Lebron is still playing at a high level after so many years now gets the opportunity to provide an his insight on the game. Both high IQ players doing the game justice.

The X’s and O’s discussion is so dense (in a good way) that I find myself re-listening to it in order to digest it fully. The chemistry and respect between these two is off the charts, and makes for a must-see/listen experience.

Goat of all Goats

Bron bron bron where do I even begin you have been remarkable for as long as I can remember

Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Lebron... honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the paint and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth touch around the rim, and that gorgeous jumpshot. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so l would never have to watch you retire. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the court, you're a great husband and father, sometimes I even call you dad. I forever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left cleveland and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your first ring in miami, because deep down, my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then alas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home and I rejoiced. 2015 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2016 you made history happen. You came back from 3-1 and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king FOR YOU!" Not only have you changed the game of basketball and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious King LeBron James 😊❤️ Credit: i.loveterraria_

It’s refreshing to hear two high IQ ball players just talk about basketball and the love of the game. I’m tired of listening to espn and other podcasts arguing and debating who’s the best of what. Love this Pod. Thank you

What an insightful session of 🏀🎙️

Really interesting to listen to two players who have so much basketball experience share that in ways most basketball podcasts or sports podcasts in general don’t.

Oh my glorious king where do I start you are my pookie bear and I love you so much you are the greatest of all time obviously pookie

LeBron

The show at best is decent but masquerades as a high level basketball IQ podcasts but when they discussed most influential basketball players and forgot MJ I had to turn it off. Just another media vehicle used to bolster the image of the second best basketball player all time in LeBron James.

I am a basketball junkie and have given most basketball podcasts a legit chance. This is by far one of the best ones. Two legends (one college, one pro) talking serious basketball. Very insightful.

the fans finally get a lebron podcast!! been waiting on this for a long time. but it just means it’s close to the end for the goat🥲 but love the podcast can’t wait to listen to more of it & who else better to do it with than JJ!!

I love you two, very interesting!

my king never misses

the first 10 minutes of episode 1 will make you watch very informative

This is what the basketball podcast world has needed.

I love hearing talk high level X’s and O’s in a way that is still accessible to those with at least some basic basketball knowledge. This is an antidote to causal takes on basketball.

I watched the first episode on YouTube yesterday. A must see/listen if you are a true student of Basketball or a fan. Two basketball savants, one being the G.O.A.T. What could be better? Loved it! More please.

👎👎

The first episode is sick!

As exciting it is to have this pair start a podcast together, it’s hard to get behind a “podcast” with so many visual references that caters mostly to the YouTube watchers. You got JJ drawing diagrams and other visual references that people listening only have no clue what’s going on. Seems like they don’t really care what the audio listeners’ experience is like since they probably make more money on YouTube. Awesome convo between the two, but kinda underwhelming with the audio experience.

lebron and jj reddick are perfect for a bball podcast

No stories! No shade! No casuals! Just pure basketball convo from a technical standpoint. Elite commentary from two true students of the game.
