Glad to see CP3 getting his respect. For a guy of his size and battling the injuries he’s had and still competing at an MVP level at his age is something special
Stephanie Curry don’t deserve his respect!! He’s not even a top 75 point guard all time!!
Cp3 Been respected for long time bruh but I understand what you saying
He had been taking care of his body much more since the arrive at OKC, he seems healthy
The whole guy his size thing is so funny when so many guards are basically the same damn size as him
Mainstream media prefer to regurgitate Russ related stories while current NBA has so many topics to cover and quality bball
"Rooting like hell for Book" if CP was my vet/mentor, I'd run through a wall for that man. Hell of a competitor
Stephanie Curry is a hell of a choker!!😎😎😎😎😎😎
Chemistry on the suns team is off the chart, they have a pure scorer, pure point guard, pure big man, and huge depth
Stephanie Curry don’t even know what chemistry IS!! That’s why he can’t even carry his team to the playoffs!! Ja Morant is the Owner of Curfraud!!
@@hitlerssnappingparodychann733 best shooter to ever play and 3 chips
@@ratcomedy you got baited by hitler
Ayton is not a pure big man. He is a modern big man both offensively and defensively. Booker can be a point guard if he wanted to so he’s not just a pure scorer. Horrible analysis tbh
@@pandabear1576 Naw, Ayton has more of an old school center of PF game. He doesn't shoot 3's, and his game is basically all in the paint from and offensive and defensive standpoint. Tyler's analysis is spot on. Folks forget about Booker prior to the Sun's resurgence. He was called a poor man's Kobe for a reason. He was mainly a half court iso scorer, and has really evolved to fit this team and the new NBA style of play.
The way CP said “We done seen that movie before 🌚” and JJ just chuckles, it really must’ve been bad w/ CP3 & Blake
Bruh🤣🤣🤣🤣
100% one of the main issues of those Clippers teams
True and ridiculous since Blake didn't have the skillset to be a number one. He developed over the years but got by on athleticism for the most part. CP needed another star along side him to get over the second round hump and Clippers only added roll players. If Durant would have went to LA instead of GS they would have chipped multiple times no question in my mind.
@@tidianebah5549 Stephanie Curry be like: We’ve seen this movie before every time he chokes and loses!! As a matter of fact, he can’t even carry his team to the playoffs!! Which means he’s not even a top 75 point guard all time!!😎😎😎😎😎
It coulda been inadvertently
JJ's reaction to CP saying he used to beat him in shooting games😆
That was hilarious 😭😭 jj said WHAT n CP3 said WHAT??😂😂😂😂
@@47hundo86 I know, right😆?
Best moment of the clip haha. JJ couldn't even look at him, just turned around with a "Wtf...you serious?!" look.
@@davetrachtenberg6855 Facts😆
This aged so well
Chris is so accurate about the reception to him in Phoenix. There were definitely people out of their mind excited when the sun's traded for him, but there were also a huge portion of fans who heard about the trade and their first response was "Didn't he retire a couple years ago?" and who were just waiting for him to show up looking old, tired, and washed up, there 5 page long "Fire James Jones" youtube/reddit comments pre-typed, just waiting to hit the send button. Then they saw CP3 start to do CP3 things and were all like "wait... what? This guy is actually really REALLY good! Amazing even!"
At this point he's long since proven himself to any doubters in phoenix, but he definitely did have to prove himself again, and I'm sure there's still people who've pre-typed a "Fire James Jones" comment around the contract they gave CP3 that pays him well into his 40s who are still just waiting for CP3 to start showing signs that age is catching up with him. Conversely, the vast majority of suns fans I know would take a bullet for Devin Booker to protect him from some one critisizing him after an off game, the main difference being the Suns drafted Booker, he literally grew up with the team, so to many people he's as much family as their uncle who never comes to family gatherings but they'd still drop everything to help him if he got a flat tire.
I didn't realize how much switching teams can make people forget. That was a good point chris made.
This comment should be based on Curry being trash. Not explaining why Chris Paul is his father!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
@@cloudunderweather9554 Stephanie Curry is Chris Paul’s son!! He ain’t nobody!!
Wow, that explains why he always has a chip on his shoulder. Despite being a point god, he always had to prove himself since there were some people not expecting much whenever he switched teams.
James Jones deserves executive of the decade.
literally a decade of fuckery from the Suns, then James Jones somehow not only convinces Monty Williams to come to phx, but coach the suns OVER the Lakers and an all time great in LBJ. Convinces Booker to stay (which maybe happens anyway, but locked it up even tho they hadn’t been winning much and was told hes no more than stats)- then foresees an opportunity to bring in CP, an aging PG whose style is kinda dying out…and at 36 they install the most complex but beautiful offensive scheme i’ve ever seen in my personal life time. Then somehow foresees talent in a virtually unknown group of guys that are crucial and incredible players nobody had heard of before. Stealing bridges from Philly, Cam johnson picked higher than anyone thought he should have been picked, and gave a chance to a backup PG with a mediocre past who’s in china playing G league basically and they are all fantastic.
JJ needs to his own show on tv!!! Nothing better then hearing him come on and spit facts on First Take or NBA today
Even if it isn't JJ there should be a show where they actually talk about the intricacies of plays. You literally never get that on first take aside from rare occurrences. The first and only time I ever heard something like that was literally Mark Cuban when the mavs won.
that jj cp chemistry is something else man. i looooooooove the brotherly trashtalk
cp's rant about proving himself...he's talking from the perspective of having to prove himself on a new team, but actaully hes proving himself in terms of his age. and thats credit to him for still being so good at his age when everyone else from his year fell off. im one of those people who are amazed hes still one of the best. hes basically better than harden now and hes way older (hes so old that you should all watch stephen a smith's marbury rant where he compares cp3 to marbury)
Stephanie Curry isn’t even a top 75 point guard!
Chris is probably top in the league at making timely buckets...that proved a lot too to them young bucks lol

Love the chemistry and banter between cp and reddick
Damn how many conversations did Chris have “last night”
A lot 😅
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Plane ride must have have been crazy long lmao
It’s been really dope seeing how this backcourt became so good together, but it’s not surprising. CP3 and Book are both highly skilled and crafty offensive players. What they each do best made them perfect for each other, and I feel like Booker is learning a lot from him.
Stephanie Curry can’t learn from anyone! He only knows how to choke!!😎😎😎😎😎
When he got there they didn’t know how to win but CP3 changed this team because even when he didn’t play they were still dominating
@@andrewfung8591 yup helped change the culture
Your 2 best interviews ever back to back, I mean Draymond and now CP3. Amazing podcast!
Im disappointed in how little the rockets and james Harden respected chris Paul's greatness. And i can't believe they thought Russ would be a better option.
They were worried about Chris Paul not being able to stay healthy and Harden wanted Russ, and remember at the time Russ was one year removed from MVP season.
Chris Paul was always injured at the worst times lol
Love seeing active players do interviews.
Bucks fan here, and I would love to see ya'll guys in the finals again. If there's any team who could give us a run for our money, it's the Suns. Anyone else would be a sure repeat for us. And I will be fine seeing CP3 winning his first one, he deserves it more than anyone in the league that isn't named Giannis Antetokounmpo
anyone besides suns? easy repeat? ayyye lmao
That was reeeeeally good, it was so funny when JJ took it personally, made me wonder about the others reactions, it's amazing to see him trying to defend his pride as a player and refute an untruth. I also loved Chris's perspective on changing teams and how that developed his view on what it means to be in a group, he had a really unique pathway - from being snubbed as a washed up injured shorty old guy to an even greater legend.
I think they underestimated him in okc onward because he came from delicate situation in Houston, and who would have thought he would redefine what's possible for a short player?! It's really, really, a blessing to have Chris Paul in our world.
I love getting to hear from guys like CP3 and Draymond. JJ will have a long career at this.
Stephanie Curry’s career about to end without a Finals MVP!!😎😎😎
I miss the old matchup with CP3 vs Deron Williams back when they played in New Orleans and Utah Jazz, was always a great matchup to see.
These guys ask the best questions
imagine doubting CP3
People hate on CP3 so much just because he has a history of flopping.... well guess what, 90% of superstars who played in the 2000's and 2010's did their fair share of flopping. It was just part of the game unfortunately. And still is to some extent, although the refs have gotten way better at not rewarding players for flopping. Besides though, CP3 is one of the most respectable dudes in the league off the court.
But people still only hate on CP3 over the flops and refuse to pay attention to how damn good he is and appreciate the level of skill and leadership he brings to the league.... it's their loss. Who knows how many more years CP3 will be playing ball... people should pay attention to what he's doing while they still can. He's a rare breed, one of the few TRUE Point Guards left and one of the best to ever play that role. One of the best mid range shooters of all time, one of the best passers/leaders, and one of the most clutch players ever.
CP3 is the best point guard of our generation. We call him the point god for a reason. If Steve Nash got a MVP he should have one.
Straight facts
Top 3 POINT guard ever !!!
@@alexpasco6592 now you went too far
I’m a young mexican from the hood of California that smokes weed on my CZcams channel 💯💨 trying to make it out one day 🥲
When Nash won MVPs he was really only competing with Kobe. Right now there are legit 5-6 other guys in the discussion and one of them is on his team.
That's Facts.
Constant proving oneself
I think just how he brings them together it has to be the MVP all the pieces elevate when he’s there
Lmfao your reaction at 5:35.
Based off of reaction I'm going to go with JJ being more accurate about their shootouts lol. CP probably won a few times and is proud to have beaten a pure shooter so remembers those matchups in his favor overall.
CP3 speaking facts!!! Sho hate da Rockets traded him tho
Lol yo this man talked about everything last night 🤣
I havent listened to CP talk much, but recently I have become a fan.
Forgot CP played with Peja. That feels like a lifetime ago.
The fact that CP3 said equity and not equality speaks volumes of how good a leader he is!
Do you guys have Reverb on his mic??
“Oh he can play” 😂😂😂😂😂
The way JJ's attitude changed when cp3 said he destroyed him in shooting games hahaha
at 1:16 is that a jab towards Blake and Harden?
nice video
He was talking about EVERYTHING last night
The most Intelligent point guard to grace the game
JJ is surprisingly good. He ask unique questions.
MVP race is Embiid, Jokic, and Giannis unless one of them get hurt (hopefully not. They're all incredible to watch)
Cp3 tho
JJ's face at 5:38🤣
Jj almost came out of retirement @5:39 😂😂
5:35 JJ is outraged 😂😂😂😂
5:38 is funny asf CP3 a menace😂
JJ, y’all should have Book on the podcast. Mikal and CP have been on there talking about him, it would be even more interesting to hear it from the horses mouth.(Devin Booker, lol)
well damn🐴🤣that'd be great though for sure, to get his perspective
Lmao JJ face when CP3 said he used to beat him in shooting games.
CP3 is the man on and off the court! Role model for real!!! Great player!!
This channel is so much better than listening to espn
Would love to see an interview with DBook
I wish it was more clear what wines u guys r drinking so i could look it up. its faced the wrong way thou or is that not allowed
I think they do that on purpose
green bottle mountain valley water lol
4:04 LOOOOOOL 😭
The Suns have great balance at every position! That’s why they are so great. That and they can play defense. I hope they win the championship this year. There is a lot of good fortune that comes with winning a championship though. Just look at the last 4 champions. The Suns had good fortune last year, until Chris Paul injured his hand in game 3 of the finals. Hopefully the Suns can stay healthy during this years playoff run. There’s still no guarantee of winning even if you are healthy, however your chances are better if you are healthy.
We want dbook on the show jj please !
8 out of 10 😂

@@paulie1873 Sho mf2 uGrnd lapho?
CP3 and Book is what him and Kobe should be been but CP3 being Book (the young star) and Kobe being CP3 (the aging superstar). Hardens problem was he wouldn’t let CP3 be the leader on the floor, we knew he was the “best” player but his ego wouldn’t let him allow CP3 to be the floor general, which is why the warriors and other teams seen through the rockets and defended the whole team while letting James dribble a million times and shoot a step back.
Thats just corny media narratives Harden was simply playing the way Mike Dantony was wanting him to play
Bruh. 2018 Warriors with kd were a much better team then the rockets. Houston overachieved taking them to 7, and could’ve won if Cp3 didn’t get injured. Let’s not rewrite history, that rockets team was dominant with harden and cp. if they weren’t playing against the most talented team ever they likely win a chip. Then injuries to cp ruined a lot of their 2019 season
@@crazyfighter5 they were good, but could of been WAY better if Harden didn’t throw games away because he was focused on numbers. He’s one of my favourite players but truth is truth, I’m a basketball fan first, then players fan after. I call it how I see it no bias.
Cp3 in his prime or steph ..?
Who would u take to start a team
We gotta start putting Lebron iron man respect on Chris Paul , mad different teams , same results
CP3 said O y'all forgot lol. It's crazy how some teams try and age a player out of the league.
My ultimate NBA STAR
CP3 is one of all time great IMO top 50 player of all time. He can do everything on the floor, he is sturdy, handles, floor general, can pull up from any spot on the floor, from mid range fadeaway to three points to post ups a really rare skill set. And he did amazing things with every single team he played. He only misses a ring.
50 is an understatement he’s closer to 25
Don't forget, he also actually plays defense. Like, all-nba defense, frequently.
@@dwaynekeenum1916 Top 25 would mean he is top 5 PG of all time... I dont know if I could put him there yet but he is awfully close.
@@mrfatuchi thats why he said close... He is a top 7 pg and with a ring 5 fs
@@3c210 yeah true
JJ is one of the best run off a screen shooter ever. In game was crazy to see it go in and everyone shrugged it off like it’s normal.
5:27 😆
Westbrook needs to see this video ASAP if he’s wondering why he’s on the bench in 4th quarters
What's in the green bottle?
jj has one glass of wine and becomes incredibly flushed lmao love him though
CP giving some love to Peja.
JJ will set up a podcast anywhere lol.
Low key at times I feel like CP3 purposely avoids giving Dbook the ball. Like he wants to the focal point of the offense
It will be really interesting to see JJ do these interviews once he's a couple generations removed from the person he's interviewing. He is just way to deferential when he interviews his former teammates and colleagues. Hopefully, he'll stop pulling his punches once that happens.
really good point here
Stephanie Curry is going to pull his punches as long as he lives because he’s trash!!😎😎
True but you take the bad with the good. He gets a side of the players to come out that normal media cant because of their brotherhood.
lol what do you him to say? Be a typical nba casual (Lakers/Warriors fan) and say "CP, why do you always choke in the big moments? Hurr durr." Not sure what you were expecting from this conversation.
Cp3 is a real solid individual, been loving his game since his days in LA, hope he can win it all one time before he retires
JJ loves numbers don't he
Imagine CP & Kobe back in 2011
CP, the problem is that a lot of the young guns in the league are total casuals. They grew up with scorers/chuckers being the primary stars. They probably didn't really follow CP or appreciate his skills because they just focused on the 40 ppg scorers. That's why they were so surprised by CP's scoring.
Ngl mj reddick and kot4q are my fan people to listen about basketball because of their in biast views. Unless it’s the bulls for Kenny which I get but genuinely two of my favourites switch ball.
CP3 chance of getting a ring is slowly closing, I’m hoping they will finally win it this year.
For CP3 the killer its closing but for Chris Paul the basketball player it aint over til he retires he can get one as a vet coming off the bench if he dont get it while hes still in his prime
Chris Paul makes his haircut look like a 5 o’clock shadow
I wanted cp3 and devin to win it last year. Devin booker is a more consistent and clutch version of James harden.
I’m not disagreeing with you but harden that year took the healthy gsw to a 7 game. If cp3 never got injured they would’ve won the chip
@@lundfuda8931 let’s not ignore those last two games tho
This suns team is what i imagine Lakers would be like if the trade went thru

imagine CP3 had Kobe,,, still hurts as a basketball fan.
If CP this good with book at this point in his career imagine if he did link up with Kobe in his prime 😢😭
That would have been crazy, those lakers battling okc then seeing miami coming out of the east.
dont remind us bro we were robbed
cp3 is the greatest pg of all time
Damn i need a girl with the same chemistry that cp3 and booker have
This is just a glimpse of what the Lakers would’ve looked like if CP3 went there
You gotta get russ on the show!!!
why was this recommended… bad timing lol
We all know if cp3 didn't show up. Suns still sit outside playoffs. Play in tournament would of been best shot every season. No doubt book has talent through the roof. But that's cp3 team

That’s gonna be an oof from me dawg
@@lootpack7744 haha fair
How did the Lakers not make a push for cp3. Back then and recently...cp3 and lebron James are proven cheat codes. The whole team gets better
They tried to trade for him in 2012 to pair him up with Kobe. David Stern vetoed it and then he traded to the Clippers instead.
@@AR-ck8xw that's why I said I can't believe they didn't get it done..back then....as in 2012 and before the sun's got him

Damn you lil heads don’t know about no Peja Stojaković 🤯
That doesn't make any sense. Why does Chris Paul have to prove himself to others? These newer players never watched basketball?
I think in mind of CP they like: this dude was great but he's old and bad now. We don't need this here, and there goes CP and prove they wrong. My opinion tho
I believe he’s saying Monty and if not sorry but whoever that guy is knows everything about cp3 lol
Peja shout out
