Whatever they pay you on this channel is not enough
The ringer is not a channel
This dude's narration voice is ridiculously satisfying it makes me uncomfortable
Ask Bill Simmons..
Truth
truly
This man is hooping at like 53 years old, 4’ 9”, on a hip replacement, and he’s still a top seed in the west
my guy chris paul has two first names no wonder hes so good
paul george 💀💀
@@biozarro 😂😂
And still winning nothing, still choking or getting hurt. CP3 = OVERRATED LOSER
And always gets injured in the playoffs
2:24 I say this all the time. People forget just how athletic Cp3 was before his knee injury. The way Ja morant has been able to break people down off the dribble and shoot his little floater reminds me of cp3
Agree. CP3 is the reason why I even care about basketball and Morant's CONTROLLED athletism really reminds me of CP3 which in my opinion is a great sign that probably he could also end up being known for his longevity just as CP3 unlike the majority of other athletic guards. My favorite young guard is DeAaron Fox and sadly I can't said the same about him yet and at this point he reminds more of John Wall who didn't age nearly as well, but he is getting better and there is still time for him. However, how controlled yet still fast and explosive Morant is only in his second year is extremely impressive.
That CP3 dunk on Dwight Howard was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen
Lowry age 34 season: 19.4 points, 7.5 assists, 59.3 TS%, and 3.2 BPM.
Lowry is the only player currently with a similar longevity
It's not the same longevity though because Lowry wasn't elite at a young age like CP3 so he hasn't had to play huge minutes and carry the load that Cp3 has to this point. Lowry became elite at like 26
@@captainmarvelous7678 he was also the 24th pick compared to the 4th pick overall. He wasn’t given the opportunity to shine early on until he got to Toronto.
Only difference is Lowry has a ring💀
Lowry one of my favourite players of all time fr
@@jasonshin9004 those are all traits I’d attribute to Kyle as well. He was quite literally about to be the official designated coach when almost our entire coaching staff was out. The only reason why he wasn’t is because it would have violated the chargers because it wasn’t designated in his contract as a player coach 🤣 also if you wanna see how good lowry is at being a floor raiser, watch the 30 point comeback vs the mavs where it was Lowry & basically a g-leauge team.
I respect the hell out of Chris Paul and one area he’s better at than kyle is as an isolation scorer, his craft with his handle can open up any short.
The last time I was this early to a ringer video, Steve Nash was still playing point guard for the Suns
96-98 or 04-12?
Last time i saw a comment like this, people still thought Chris Paul to the Suns was a bad move
Nah 2019 suns Steve Nash
Remember when we thought Deron Williams vs. Chris Paul was a legitimate debate? lol
Yes, since 05. D Will declined CP's longevity is rare as said in the video
@@silewis9396 D. Will was another victim of injuries sadly
D will was better at some points
@@miorionomichi I mean it's debable. Both were my favorite players at the time together with Nash and Wade and you could give them edges on different aspects of the game but at the end of the day it was really close. However, Jazz was a better team and whenever they meet Jazz and DWill would usually end up victorious, I'd give you that.
“When Shakira was reminding us that hips are, in fact, truthful” What a poet
Here after 36 year old Chris Paul sinks dagger after dagger into the Nuggets in the 3rd quarter en route to 37 points and 7 assists on 74% shooting in the closeout game, and leads the Suns to the 2nd Conference Finals of his career.
All hail, the Point God.
vid aged well
Here after Chris Paul sinks shot after shot to blow out the Clippers and sends them home with 41 points and is making his way to the first NBA Finals of his career :)
Editing here is outrageous!
No rings for CP, Nash or Stockton... crazy
i wish he could’ve talked about isiah (even if he doesn’t have as long a career because of the achilles) and what he shares with chris paul and what the differences are aside from luck & roster construction
Pass first point guards don’t win titles, especially in the west. It’s unfortunate
@@jean-andresassine9917 its apredictable playstyle especially for john stockton and karl malone
@@jean-andresassine9917 That's not even the problem. For literally all three of the guys mentioned in this video it was bad luck.
Stockton had the MJ Bulls. No-damn-body was beating them.
CP3 largely dealt with the Peak Dynasty Warriors during his peak contending years.
Nash dealt with the Kobe-led Lakers, the Dependable Juggernaut Spurs, and the Dirk-led Mavs.
Combine that with freak injuries to these guys AND teammates over their careers? Yeah, it's just plain old bad luck. If CP3 doesn't pull his hammy in a Game 5 WCF win a few years ago and/or if Harden and his other teammates didn't UTTERLY crap the bed in the subsequent games, there is literally no doubt in my mind that both CP3 and Harden would be sitting on rings right now.
@@SamuraiFoochs that's creepy as hell, too. It seems like the basketball gods want these three to just ball out and score instead of playing "allegedly" the right way as a PG.
This Guy dropped 37 points today in a playoff game against the Nuggets. Even outscored Booker and Joker.
Videos never disappoint....that montage at the beginning was great!
This aged well, as the Suns beat the defending champs in style!
I love how he says “Let me know if you agree” at the end
Yes, Kyle. I agree.
“CJ yawning” 😆😆
That CEO analogy 🔥🔥🔥
Comet is a brilliant word. We'll see if he well ever be able to finish a playoffs even somewhat healthy though...
last two years he was healthy
He seemed to be better last night
100. The biggest reason for CP3's lack of success is that he gets hurt in the playoffs so much. If you want to tell me how good of a player he's been *when healthy* I'm totally onboard. But when it comes to longevity, there are some serious caveats they left out.
Bro please bring back the dime drop videos you have such good content even if it’s like once every month or something man. I love your stuff honestly it’s a shame how much I watch your Luka doncic breakdown 😭
My favourite player of all time. Not everyone gets to watch their personal GOAT play out their prime for more than a decade. Will be grateful for every CP3 minute over the next couple of seasons.
When he mentioned, Steve and John, I can't help but feel sad that Chris might retire without a ring just like them. Please, basketball gods, give the man a ring!
What a tremendous summary, compilation, and edited vid. Fantastic
I'm here because he made it to the nba finals.
He's so similar to Stockthon and Nash, that he might give it to Bucks to stay similar to them on not having a Championship
Chris Paul cemented his legacy in that Lakers series, looking forward to a finals run for the fun sun's 🤞🤞
This was an incredible watch, thank you
Was literally about to hit you up on Instagram and ask about the next joint. You’re define a bright spot of The Ringer 🙏🏽
Wow one of the best 11 minutes of my life.... All hail to the Point God HIMSELF dat man CP3
This video was brilliantly made!
Brilliant video really well made. The editing, music, writting to the memes creates such a cool vibe, awesome job
Lonesome, crowded west. Loved it. Great video as always.
Amazing content. Editing was hilarious. Great work as always Kyle.
Crazy video and audio quality! Sub earned!
Kyle I don't know if you love basketball or pop culture references more. Quality content either way!
I love basektball and i love graphics. it comes together amazingly good in these videos. thank you!
This is awesome! Great job, J. Kyle Mann. Paul turned 36 in early May. It might need another update after taking down the defending NBA champs in spite of his injury and reduced play as a result. Here's to continued recovery for him as the playoffs roll on and maybe, just maybe, he becomes the first on this list to win an NBA championship.
Mate this content is pure excellence, absolutely can't wait for more
Mann,
This video series is incredible. Keep it up!
The Ringer's CEO: "I want basketball content, but with swagg"
J. Kyle Mann: "I think I can work something out"
god damn thats some good production!
nice video, don't know how i didn't notice this channel before
Drinking game: take a shot every time JKM says "This season, no player..."
Damn that was an early Modest Mouse reference? I love it!
Lonesome Crowded West
That opening is a work of art.
Great video. Appreciate it!
I'm just a minute into the video but I can tell you some commonalities between these three players. It's the ability to see the floor very clearly. The ability to slow things down when you need to slow things down and to pick it up when it needs to be picked up. Being able to pass is probably the last skill that you're going to lose. It probably requires the least amount of physical ability to maintain at a high level. Youngsters can score but veterans can always see the floor. If you look at Nash and Stockton you see the same thing that you see in Chris Paul. A smaller floor general who has eyes in the back of his head. That's something that doesn't go away.
Always with the J Treds ! Always dope vids....
Shoutout to whoever is doing these edits, some of them are so funny.
Something i realized is that the 3 point gods all don't have a championship. Weird huh.
Sneaking a KoC "according to Second Spectrum" in there. Nice
that intro was goated
Phenomenal editing dios mio
I need more of J. Kyle Mann in my life please.
these videos never fail me
Ive been waiting for a J Klye Mann video for so long
Oh man, NBA Playoffs in the night and J Kyle Mann in the day the basketball gods are shining on us
Excellent Modest Mouse reference at the end
God I love these. I selfishly want more of them. I'm super curious to see how long it takes to put these together with all the movie and pop culture references.
0:40 anyone notice john collins' shoe in the middle of the floor LMAO
Love these videos... make more Kyle.
wow, this video matured really well in just 2 weeks!
This beginning was so epic and hilarious.
Love the Michael Clayton clip in the intro
These videos are amazing
That intro was next level
I see the J Kyle Mann thumbnail I click the J Kyle Mann thumbnail
I immediately liked for that intro.
"with Spencer Hawes" 8:38 holy shit that murdered me
Great video
Hope his injury is ok, tough to watch him hobble through the lakers series
10:18 Nice modest mouse reference 😂
I can watch these all day.
POV: you're watching this on the day of Game 1 of the NBA Finals featuring a young Suns team led by CP3.
thats some quality content here.
The ringer is lucky to have this man
If CP3 was traded to the Bucks last off season they’d be the favorites in my eyes
Milwaukee missed out on a ring imo. He would have made giannis actually unstoppable
As a Bucks fan, I'm absolutely in love with Jrue Holiday, but I can't help to think that Chris Paul would have made us even better. But on the other side, Jrue Holiday is a few years younger and will also probably be more durable for the next three years.
@@mikegnk4994 oh jrue is definitely the better long term play. I’d just rather win now over being pretty good for three or four years
I wanted him on the Bucks or Heat so bad so he'd have a shot at a ring
I fucking died at Chris Paul's face on a Pentecostal snake handler
This is so good.
And now, he's in the finals.
Damn, I didn‘t know J. Kyle Mann before, but this video is just video editing and basketball fandom greatness. I gained a new appreciation for Chris Paul.
That into was a masterpiece
YOU LOVE TO SEE THE PENCIL DRAWING THUMBNAIL JKMMMM
I hope he gets a ring. Great player on and off the court.
“Its gonna be epically difficult for Phoenix to get him a ring in the 2020-2021 season.....”
Suns in the Finals: You mad bro?
All ringer videos should be J Kyle Mann videos.
That intro was crazy
NBA: steve nash is finished
pheonix suns: rise him from the ashes.
Chris Paul: Hold my beer.
Anyone else here after they just eliminated the Lakers?
J. Kyle Mann is the best thing on this channel, wish i could watch your videos only
Good stuff
Best series on the channel
J Kyle Mann is juggernaut!!!! That was masterful!
Whos here after the Suns are finals bound?
J KYLE MANN is so ENTERTAINING GIVE THAT MAN A RAISE I COULD HIM ALL THE TIME BEST BBALL VIDEOS ON THE WHOLE WEB
Mark Jackson voice “ My god, mama there goes that man. The consistency, quality and production level at which J puts out for his video’s is above reproach. This guys needs to be holding full fledge seminars on how to make top tier content.” lol
Watching this after game 2 of the finals 😂
Does anyone know the music in the background?
The beginning oh my goodness why can't I give 100 likes
He’s in the West Finals RN
Where can I get more Kyle Mann?
Spotify
I love you J Kyle Mann.
Nash and Stockton never won a ring either... Maybe it's just tough out here for pgs
It is. Think about it, historically when was the last time a PG was the best player on a championship team? Curry 2015 (wasnt even finals MVP), and then you have Tony Parker (wasnt the best player on his team really, just won Finals MVP), and then you have Isaiah Thomas (great team around him as well) and Magic who was 6’8
@@MehkaRokca Tony was the best player on that 2014 championship team. Kawhi just peaked on the playoffs.
every team that has ever won a chip had a point guard. its not that tough on them
I think part of the issue is you rely on your 6' or 6'1" guard to create scoring opportunities for the team for about 45 minutes, but in crunch time you rely on them to get you the tough buckets late in a playoff game. That puts you at a physical disadvantage compared to leaving the last shot to an MJ or LeBron.
Speaking of those guys, the other and more pressing problem is that these three players got blocked by the likes of MJ, Hakeem, Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, the Hampton's Five...
@@jacobcardinal8041 you miss the point. Most teams who won championships at the level of cp3,Stockton, and Nash were scoring point guards rather than passing guards.the 3 mentioned above are the original definition of a point guard. Not the hybrids we see today.
Just finished watching game 1 of Suns and Nuggets. CP3 had a great game.
