Coach Nurse has such an inspiring journey. A real basketball genius who's not affraid to think outside the box and try new things
outside the box and one you mean haha
@@henryhall298 10/10 👏
@@henryhall298 lmaooo good one man😂🤣😭
@Henry Hall haha Good One!!
lol, Nurse is so overrated. The only reason Raptors won was because they got lucky and Warriors were injured.
That’s my coach right there! Probably the most innovative coach in the League. Low key, a lot of teams copy his philosophies & defensive schemes. He brought a Chip to the city! He’s certified in Toronto forever
100%
Especially how teams are guarding curry now, nobody ever thought of these schemes
The way he played chess with Brad Stevens in a lot Boston Toronto games was amazing. I’m a fan ever since
🔥
@@futurefoundation8559 one of favorite series, loved the thinking basketball analysis
As a basketball fan, I just love listening to an intelligent respected basketball coach talk.
As a brit, it's great to hear Nick talking about the BBL.
That’s the only reason why I clicked on this 😂
Didn’t know Nick likes butt lifts that’s dope
@@shaqgreen3167 💀💀💀
He always talks about his stint in the bbl
Seven Hunnid on CZcams is wildly entertaining cuh ☝️
So excited for this series. Hope Spo is one of the next ones. Monty Williams, Becky Hammond, Brad Stevens and Quinn Snyder would also be great down the line
Becky Hammon nowhere near the dudes you just named with all due respect
@@dorbendavid6395 of course, but she’s still a coach and with her WNBA history, becoming a disciple under popovich and now being a top candidate whenever teams are looking for a new HC, I think it’d be a great pod
@@dorbendavid6395 you are saying that based on?
@@futurehofer1564 based on that they are the top coaches in the league and she can't even make it to the league so she bailed to the WNBA
these are all great suggestions
Finally an active NBA Coach on the pod.
Coach Pop and Spo are on my list.
Pop and Spo would be unreal!!!
Bro round table with Spo, Pop, Kerr and Nurse!
Coach Snyder top 3 coaches to interview after this one. Spo pop and Snyder.
@@shadow_realm47 that would be so interesting! I wonder how forthcoming they would be given they're still actively coaching lol
@@shadow_realm47 Monty too
As a hardcore bball fan it feels like the player interview can get redundant at times so I think it's nice to get these long form convos...we don't get many from coaches.
Coach Nurse & Frank Vogel tell such amazing stories on how they knew they had talent but not NBA talent and took the coaching route to win a NBA Chip! Thanks JJ!
Facts, nick nurse mightve not been the best player but he does know basketball
@@alfmar95 LOL. That IS a fact.
Nick Nurse, not only a great basketball coach, but an even better person.
And multi-talented as well, he's pretty sick on the guitar.
NN, a renaissance man!
He good at guitar too !
Great guy to kick off the Coaching Series with!!
Still remember Nick from his days as my local basketball team HC (Birmingham Bullets) was so crazy seeing him win a chip in the NBA
Perfect guest for this pod and maybe Dunc's too
The mad scientist
Coach Nurse has a great mind definitely seen it through his years so far in Toronto
As a lifelong Raptors fan, I'm glad we have NN, he's a creative genius.
So glad you asked him about his time in England. There's plenty of us over here proud that an NBA Champ cut his coaching teeth on our patch
They actually got a coach on here? This is really the greatest basketball content on the internet. Goats
NN seems like such a great guy on top of being one of the best coaches around. Its easy to understand why his players play so hard for him. Cant wait to see Barnes evolve under his guidance
Great interview!! I hope my Raptors never let go of coach Nick, he's already done so much great things for the franchise. That being said, I would love to see Hubie Brown on the pod! One of the most fascinating guy in the game!
GIVE HIM A LIFETIME CONTRACT
Hubie Brown would be amazing!
Yes ...the casual fans don't get his thing ...he has his style and don't care what people think look how many teams are using "janky defenses" now since he started using things like the box and 1 ...he got so much heat for that at the time but now loads of teams use it...he isn't going let the media and talking heads bully him into changing
Nick Nurse outside of the box mentality is everything
how did he play box and 1 then?
@@DS-me7kk touche LOL
@@DS-me7kk Sometimes you just need an outside look of the box to know that you need to use the box
JJ Redick is quickly becoming my favorite go to for all things NBA. This podcast is, as my kids would say, FIRE.
One of the reasons I love being a Raptors fan. I know that the coach, players, and FO are all about WINNING. We tanked last year and ended up getting another WINNER Scottie Barnes🙏 I believe that the Raptors will be back soon
raptors are so blessed with havin masai. biggest lottery win for the raptors right there havin masai on ur side
I loved this. I loved how you guys didn’t really ask questions like what’s it like to coach so and so. Topics were focused on the coach rather than how he coached any particular player. Also love coach NN.
Great to hear his BBL coaching journey. I am currently working with the London Lions as an athletic therapist looking to get to the NBA. If anyone has any tips or potential placements with a team please let me know 😀
It will happen for you
Try Spain and euro league to get more exposure then BBL
Get an agent to find you one. Or a laywer
He's international experience changed him for the best! No better school than traveling, not for vacation but real long traveling!
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. It maybe just because of how humble and honestly just how kind Nick Nurse is, but it just gives you a different perspective on the game. Coaches are normally the last thing you think about when watching a game, if think bout them at all, and knowing how knowledgeable and the fight he had to do to get the position he has gotten to is truly inspirational. He deserved that ring.
Another great episode JJ! Getting a look inside the game like this is awesome 👏🏼
One of my favorite episodes so far, really looking forward to this coaching series!
3 mins in and im already cracking '' i gave myself the greenlight '' hilarious
Went to the Nick Nurse basketball camp in Iowa growing up. It was a great camp that really started my love for basketball. I will always remember the basketball that I bought at the camp, it was red white and blue and it said “The Pill” on it. So excited to listen to this pod!
Thanks for the ring, Coach Nurse!
Best and coolest coach in the league.
Great interview. I wish it could have been an hour or 2 longer. Would love to see Nick Nurse back.
Wow. Great story. Talk about sticking to your passion and just making it work. Inspiring.
Nick Nurse is brilliant. I love how he doesn't hold back based on what humans 'normally' do or what is accepted as norm.
Best coach in the NBA. Head coach of the canada national team as well. Proud canadian here
I wanna hear Tyronn Lue on this. Lue is one of the best coaches at making in game adjustments, look at how he did in the 2016 finals
Maybe, but I think he’s way better suited as an assistant. He’s beta.
Ong I so happy yall talked about the 2020 it's was amazing we rlly should've made it to the next round. That Celtics series hlgoing 7 games rlly showed how close it was while our best player was little off beat.
The 2020 team was my fav. That game 6 Lowry game was cray
Nurse is a creative genius. Love him.
I love the diversity of perspective and personnel this pod offers. JJ, you should consider having a referee too soon!
Great episode JJ... It's been something to watch Nick work first hand!
One of my favorite episode's of Gilbert Arenas's podcast was when he brought his high school coach on. I don't know if you had an influential coach from your youth JJ, but if you did, having a conversation with them would be interesting. Hearing how he coached you and how he coaches kids in general is always useful information. The high school skill level is definitely closer to what most casuals can relate to in our day to day lives lol
I really appreciate this interview and how it was organic and honest.
Great guy, great coach. Excellent interview guys.
Nick nurse is a legend!
Wow. The craziest part of this to me is around the 17:30 mark - just hearing the perspective of an NBA player trying to beat a defense and score vs a coach who has spent time learning all of that players tendencies and moves gameplanning to stop him. Great interview, Nurse seems like a cool guy and great coach
This pod is amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Bro yes I'd love to see more coaches on here. This is awesome they are such a huge part of the story
Great interview loved his response on player development and helping his players individually I hope all coaches are doing this
So F AWESOMEEEEE! Cant wait for more from Coaching Series!!!
The man who ran the box and one on steph and wall on Giannis. Whatever it takes!
Would love for you guys to continue this coaching series with assistant coaches, trainers and advisors to teams too.
This series is about to be heat - definitely need to see you guys talk being a young coach with Silas from the Rockets
One hell of a coach right there
What a great cast JJ! One of your best for sure.
Nick nurse is such an inspiration and likeable guy. Man worked so hard to get where he is and is humble and a good person.
amazing episode thanks guys !
You guys got the best interviews in the nba 👏 seriously keep this going pls
Nick is super fun! I am happy he won with Toronto!
I used to talk to Nick about ball in Sheffield at the Sharks games, absolutely lovely man was fantastic to watch his success.
AWESOME INTERVIEW ‼️💯
Loved this episode thanks boys
Welcome to Philadelphia!!!
Lol @JJ Redick face at The Shot convo and double LOL at Tommy looking back at him.
Great pod thank you for this!
New respect for Nick Nurse
as a British NBA fan, with Nick Nurse and OG and Masai on that team, I don't know how I'm not a Raptors fan.
You need to become a Raptors fan. Those 3 are my favorites
@@tyrell1984 sadly I'm a fan of the Sixers already and we lost in the playoffs on that insane buzzer beater. I still like OG, Kawhi though and respect Nick Nurse, he's a top 2 coach in the NBA
Yesssir diggin this podcast more now thinking outside the box n One LOL happy new year fellas😁🤘🏽
THIS IS A GREAT SERIES!!!!
wish this was longer
Great discussion! Love it.
love this series. recos/requests: Pop, Spo, Doc, Billups
Anyone who is British and is a basketball fan, should feel honoured that he got to play and coach in the bbl
Great interview, very down to Earth, he has been around the world and through a lot, one of the brightest coaches of the league, that's for sure.
Great coach. we like Nick Nurse
everyone laughed and mocked him for going box and 1, and now it's more common among teams. great innovator.
He literally brought it into the NBA. They now have highlights/ closeups that show the box and one on the corner of the screen during games! He's an incredible innovator. Hall of Famer.
Players respect real. Nurse knows he paid his dues and is comfortable in his own skin. He also knows the game inside and out. The Raptors are lucky to have him. Great interview.
Great interview. Love NN.
humble, humble, person
WOW! This is Big....To get an Active NBA Championship Coach on ur Podcast!
One of my favorite coaches
Funny how they mention Casey's firing and how wild it is that he got coach of the year and was fired in that off season. You would think it was longer after, but it was just a couple months after receiving one of the highest awards as a coach.
it's cause of their performance in the playoffs. casey did well in the season but didn't make any adjustments when they were getting beat by the cavs
Love Casey hiring Nurse was the best decision by Masai
Fun fact: Its no coincidence that that it was that year that Masai forced Casey to give Nurse complete control over the team offense. And the main reason he won was because of us being a top offensive threat that year.
Nick is refreshing after all the ego driven conversations. I like this guy and the bigger picture he lives in and paints for us. Really looking forward to the rest of this series. Thanks for this
Geno has got to be a part of this coaching series. Also it would be awesome to see Jay Wright and Steve Kerr.
Great, great episode! Nurse is so intelligent, engaging and easy to root for! Is there still going to be a Jordan Poole Episode? I thought that was floated out there!
Been waiting for this one 🔥
Defensive Genius, the Raptors are lucky to have him. One of the best for sure.
He's a coach I'd wanna play for, just knows the game, has a passion for it and very open minded.
nurse my fav coach u gotta great show here jj
Amazing work guys👏🏾
As a regular listener from london it was really cool to hear nurse story. I wish they said the scores of those duke vs london games though 😂
Iowa legend!!! represent!!
When he went Bx in 1 on Steph in the Finals and had the rookie FVF Chase him the whole game. Something so basic to disrupt him can show how the game nowadays can be overthinking at times.
i think FVV was a sophmore or maybe 3rd year during the finals run
@@hotdogboxd yeah he wasnt a rookie!
Great episode
Nick Nurse is a Toronto manz. Respect General 🙏🏾
love this
Great interview, awesome series.
Of course Pop or Thibs would be nice too :)
The best coach of the modern era
This is awesome😱
I loved the 2020 team
My life goal is to be a college basketball coach. This is amazingly helpful appreciate you guys
what a guest, thanks
