- It's another day here in OM3 world and we're psyched welcome in Milwaukee Bucks star, Khris Middleton. Khris was gracias enough to sit down for his very first podcast interview. Let's get to it. Topics include: JJ's intro on Milwaukee's ability to compete in the future, Khris Middleton on last year's playoff disappointment, playoff Jimmy going OFF on The Bucks, Giannis' comments last year about "failure", his stressful NBA draft story, the growth and development between he and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the batman vs. robin media narrative with he and Giannis and how they've learned to play together, why the series against Kevin Durant and The Brooklyn Nets was SO stressful, the key moments from that playoff run that led to an NBA Championship, what he learned from becoming a champion, why he tries to stay out of the limelight, and the most gratifying part of his NBA career.

Just popping by to say thanks for watching. Khris is awesome. We have so many fun eps coming up so subscribe if you haven't. Thanks again.
Thanks JJ. Your pods are the BEST!!!
Watch what Barack obama told him at Chicago all star game in a talk with Kevin love and cp3. That was the turning point about giannis being vocal and realise his platform.
Thank you for a rare interview with one of my favorite players ✊️
JJ you're the GOAT! "is grayson the most exhausting teammate" hahaha
I appreciate JJ believing in MJB. He undoubtedly has the talent to become an all-star caliber player! GO BUCKS
Who tf is MJB?
@@CurseMonstr Marjon Beauchamp ! he's been showing out at the Crawsover in Seattle for the past like 3 years
@@bekkfist guys show out all the time in pro am then come to the league and average 5 points lol Payton Pritchard dropped like 90 in a pro am game the other year
@@Saltychip294 yeah it's different for every player but mjb got big potential
Payton Pritchard is also really solid just hasn't got a lot of opportunity
Love Marjon just wish he’d get to play same with Andre Jackson jr
I don’t pay attention to Bucks media at all so I can’t say I’ve ever heard Khris talk, but he seems like a good dude and I hope he has a good comeback year. My dream Finals this year would be my Nuggets against the Bucks, that series could go down as an all-timer in my opinion. Would be similar to the Spurs v Heat in those two 2013 and 2014 Finals.
NGL, I don't wanna see y'all unless Coach Griffin can figure y'all out, cos y'all been dominating us under the Budd era 😅
Starts at 11:45

lol they were yapping
Giannis wants a competitive roster in the future, not just now. That's why he's putting pressure on the Owners and the GM. He has at least 5 more prime years. He wants to solidify his legacy.
Yeah I feel like people are misinterpreting his words as usual. I don’t believe he is talking about his current teammates when he said what he said, I do believe, like you, that he’s mainly talking about after the other older core guys are gone
@@TheNeutralizer27 khris middleton is 32 years old
@@TheNeutralizer27 tf you talkin about? Khris is older he’s early 30s.
@@TheNeutralizer27dog khris is 32 🤔🤣
Lol Gianni’s gone leave regardless. He has a family now. I feel like he wants to raise his family in a better city. I’m from Milwaukee, it’s so segregated here.
Definition of Klutch. He abt to have a great comeback szn #khashmiddleton
Still pulling for him to hit that 50 40 90 mark, and for the Bucks to push through again this year.
Push through "again"? The one time they "pushed through" was a postseason where all the elite teams got hurt, Bucks and Suns had a fraudulent finals run, which is why Bucks and Suns have not come close to sniffing a finals since
@@RealParadox85 Id!ots like you act like '21 was the only injury riddled year ever in the history of the NBA lol. There aren't any more superteams, the Cavs & Warriors just made it look easy sniffing the Finals every year from 2015-2018 (2019 Warriors as well). What championship teams were close to sniffing the Finals multiple times just within the past 5 years? The Raptors have gotten nowhere close since 2019. Lakers missed the playoffs twice, won the chip in '20, 1st round exit in '21, & made the WCF in '23. Bucks made the ECF in 2019 & won the chip in '21, & never missed a playoffs within this stint. The Warriors loss in the Finals in 2019, missed the playoffs 2 years in a row, won the chip in '22, & a 2nd round exit in '23. The Nuggets 2nd round exit in 2019, WCF in '20, 2nd round exit in '21, 1st round exit in '22, & won the chip in '23. Other than the Warriors making the Finals twice within the past 5 years, what other teams were closer to "sniffing" the Finals multiple times, more so than the Bucks? You'd probably say the Celtics or Heat, but did they win any chips? Doesn't matter how close you get to a Finals or how many times you lose in the FInals, 2nd place doesn't compare to an actual championship. 😂😂
@@RealParadox85Celtics fan or Lakers fan?
@@RealParadox85 I guess warriors were frauds for losing in the second round the year after winning the chip
@@RealParadox85 Jealousy is a stinky cologne...
Great to hear from you Khris! Praying you have a bounceback All-Star year and stays healthy this year
2:30 he says NBA fans don’t appreciate Middleton, which probably is true 😂 I can tell you as a Celtics fan, this man has torn us apart and ruined hopes and dreams for us a lot. Although we have gotten the best out of the Bucks in totality, Giannis isn’t even the Celtics nightmare. Middleton is.
As a suns fan same😂 like Giannis does his thing but I swear every game against the suns Middleton goes crazy.
It’s an ongoing meme that Khris cooks the Celtics and he does play well but if you look at his numbers against y’all since like 2018 when the Bucks got good they’re similar to his season averages. Giannis’ numbers against the Cs are obviously much better and he even averaged a crazy 34/15/7 in 2022 and took the series to 7 when Khris was injured. He has definitely done the most damage to Boston as anyone would expect, we just talk about Khris doing it cos it’s not expected as much
🧢 not sure what games you’re watching but Middleton has been getting cooked by Tatum since 2020 and the games Middleton plays well are just solid games. He doesn’t really go off.
@@jbivs9072they have a chip and Tatum was a role player in the finals tho
@@Phillyphan7200 1. 🧢 about being a role player 2. Nothing you said negates the fact that Tatum been cooking Mid since 2020.
Khash Money is such a great guy, so happy and proud to have him on Bucks family
Amazing interview. I always appreciate how detailed and nerdy the basketball content is on this channel. Certainly looking forward to you interviewing more coaches and GMs as well!
Bud called the switch. I was right behind the bench and when it happened I said to my wife "wtf is bud doing"
I hope he's healthy & happy in Bucks this upcoming szn.We luv u Khris.
Waiting to hear how JJ will feel/think about the team now with Freak/Dame/Khris. #Bucksin6
That was worth the effort. I like both of you even more after this pod. Such an insightful and fun experience.❤❤❤
Watching this for the first time after the Dame trade
Incredible pod, I hope some of these ideas rly stick with Khris and help him in the future
I love these podcasts! I wonder at what point will the interviews ask the players what it was like to play during the steph/lebron era of 2010 knowing those two will be in the finals every year
JJ we need timestamps
Milwaukee loves Beauchamp!
Very true
I wish he’d get to play more
Well constructed interview J.J. Respect
Thank you Khris for sharing with us ❤❤
As a MASSIVE KMidd fan! Thank you JJ ❤️
The realest interview. Good looking Unc. #townbiz from beast mode. The realest. 💯✊🏿💪🏿✌🏿
Love Kris so humble!
chris one of my fav basketball players 🙏🏾keep it up brother
This interview needs to happen again post-Lillard trade.
Yeah, the timing of Bucks and Celtics he had on was just a little early
My opinion is next season is last chance for this bucks roster, after that must make some changes around giannis . Giannis have 5-6 more top level season so bucks must start making some moves even this season.
He’s not even 30 years old LMAOOO
Lol who cares about your opinion 😂😂
@@jayzo50 OMG how big retard are you????
Ok I see i must explain you little more because obviously you are slow
Giannis is 28 year's in December he will be 29 , but rest of the core is very old , Lopez and Holliday around 35 , Chris around 34 , so if they plan to keep giannis in next 5-6 year's untill his prime they must start planning replacement for Lopez, Holliday, Middleton. I'm not sure if you can understand but i can't explain you better maybe someone else can do it.
Agreed
@jayzo50 he's not said anything about giannis dropping off, he's right Brook, KMid, and Holiday are not long term options
If they faulter this year they need pieces around Giannis, and then they still have a 5-6 year window minimum
Khris is smart man! Love his easy going energy.
What a champion 🏆 Chris Middleton is one of my favorite NBA players of all time. Definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Kris
@@chrisbutcher9626 lol 😂, I deserve that
@@chrisbutcher9626Khris
@@chrisbutcher9626 It's actually Khris.
It’s actually khriss
Khris seems like a genuinley great dude. The Bucks have done a good job of that. Brooke, Jrue, Khris, of course Giannious Maximous. Easy team chemistry when your stars are likeable company
Great episode, sounds like the perfect teammate
Great convo gents 🤝🤝🐐
Just saw Tommy’s Road Trippin episode, GOAT’D
Kris Middleton is one of the best players in e Nba period & one of e best SGs 🙌.I've known him 4 e past 8 years.He has improved now.On his shooting,scoring,playmaking,def,off,quick ball movement,passing & also screening.
Let’s goooo hopefully we can just stay Healthy cuz when we are we are the best team in the league 🔥🔥🔥 2021 Champs
Khris Middleton is one of my very favorite players ever. I love his game and I love that he built his game up over time. When my Detroit Pistons traded him it was one of their worst trades ever.
-- he's GREAT #3 Option and a good #2. Like him on any team.
@@jlui21 Bruh what? He was literally a GREAT #2 on a championship team. Stop downplaying him.
LETS GOOOOO
40:27 JJ was definitely calling out Joel lmaooo
I felt like he was speaking more about Zion.
I took it as a harden jab.
JJ you need to add game video when your talking about specific plays
I keep thinking about Giannis draft..
"Who would have thought?" "How could he be drafted 15th? "
I'm no scout, but anybody who happened to watch videos of him in Greece, running the floor and making plays like Magic Jonhson at 15 with his size saw right away how much his potential was.. I still can't believe no one took a shot at him higher in the draft.
it’s easy to say afterwards
@@korielucious5837 I'm actually saying it was easy to say before the draft. Whatever his career would have been, his potential alone deserved a higher draft pick. Im only talking abot the draft position, when nobody know anything about the future of these players.
@@RalfPack I do not agree but I certainly respect your opinion !
@@RalfPack he wasnt even playing in the top league in greece at the time so it was hard to gauge his actual potential due to the competition
@@ianblagrave2778 Sure. But he was till drafted in the middle of first round.. He was drafted strictly on "potential", sure, but his was so obviously scary I thought he was going way earlier than 15th or whatever position his pick was.. But, hey, good for Milwaukee !
A Great man
We’ve not seen the best of Middleton yet. He’s so laid-back that people tend to forget how good of a player he is. If he was healthy last year, it would’ve been a different story. Now they got Dame too… 😅.
I wanted to cry leaving fiserv that last game😂💯 let’s redeem ourselves this season
Same!! Awful feeling leaving Fiserv that night
Now Dame is a Buck, 13 days later
I can see why h e doesn't like doing podcasts, not the best and public speaking. But I appreciate him doing it, thanks Khris. . .and JJ 😉
Khris Middleton!!
let’s do it
Andre Jackson could very well have a Christian Braun type impact with the bucks this year. Can’t shoot well yet but he can do everything else.
As a bucks fan, I really like this comp, makes a lot of sense the more I think about it. Both dudes are hella athletic and proven winners in NCAA.
As a UConn fan good luck
Wow, that's profound
Here Early let’s go
Khris was really "gracias" with his time in this one
Problem with the new cba is that when they try to move loopez and kris then the contracts have to be identical in terms of amount. You can’t have three or four contracts add up to what they make anymore
Are you sure?
@@BreakneckTV have you read the new rules?
The new CBA is ruining the NBA
@@slavapiver8145 yes about the new tax apron but I didn’t see the thing about not being able to add up salaries to match
Description says "Khris was gracias enough to sit down...". I'm guessing it's a typo?
the joy of nba media kicking into gear is euphoric
🔥🔥🔥
If Giannis and middleton be batman and robin this halloween because of this interview,I wouldn’t be surprised 🤷🏽♂️🤣
Bro great podcast but the in and out sound quality on Middleton was rough
Middleton is the type of guy to consistently give your team a 20 piece
K Mid definitely in my Top 5 all time, don’t @ me :)
I think it says a lot about Giannis’s outlook on failure and Middleton’s…. That’s why Giannis is great and Middleton is good. Every loss is a failure at the highest level, effort alone isn’t good enough.
We need time stamps even though I’m gonna watch the whole thing
Bro Middleton bring Fudruckers back to Brookfield. I’ve missed that place. I had to go to Texas to get my fix a couple years ago 😂
Seems like a nice guy.
Kmid so underrated
Had tommys voice gone down an octave?
What jj said at 51:09??😮
People forget that Jrue had a game winning layup in the last seconds of game 3 vs BKN. Bucks lose that game it’s 3-0 BKN
Jj knows ball marjon gonna be a ⭐️
"Failure is when just don't try" Chris Middleton 2023
Bucks focus is a lot on Giannis but we would be nowhere near the success we've been through in the last few years without Khris.
Is this a Giannis pod or a Middleton pod?
between jj, paul george and other player podcasts traditional Media will be completely different in a couple of years
My 🐐 khris khash money middleton
I wonder what he's gonna have to say after the lillard trade
Jimmy Butler question time stamp ?
First comment. Go bucks
Charleston's own!
Need a profound counter JJ 😂
i just wanna grow the batman analogy, and say that steph curry in this regard is the best alfred to play the game. He might not be batman or robin each night, but if 2 other guys around him can even play average in that role, he's a winner.
7:46 “they haven’t really hit in the draft the last few years …”
You can’t be serious, Tommy.
They drafted DJ Wilson in 2017 over J.Allen, OG, Kuz, Hart, D.White
They drafted Donte D. over Huerter, Simons, Brunson
They traded away their draft pick in 2019 where Claxton was the pick after their would’ve been pick
They drafted Beauchamp over P.Watson, Jovic, Nembhard
They’ve whiffed on all their picks since essentially 2014
JJ definitely look like he go on a once a year trip to myrtle beach 😂
This might be it for the bucks roster. I just get the sense the whole team will be broken up after this year if they don’t reach the finals
"this guy" at 3:08 we all know he's thinking kd
Is it fair that the bucks players dont get the accolades they deserve because of the teammates they have are great? For instance, Giannis for MVP last season was discredited to be MVP because he had players like Jrue and Brook that were fighting for DPOY. Likewise, Brook's main argument against him winning DPOY was having Giannis on his team. The Bucks were the #1 team in the league yet Giannis didnt win MVP, Brook didnt win DPOY, Boppy P didnt win 6th man. Khris talks about how their mindset is only on winning I just wish the season awards followed this as well.
“greyson has a bad wrap for whatever reason” *gives alex caruso a concussion*
need a reddick pinson conjoined 4 ppl or just yall two or just theo reddick beef
Gianni’s gone leave regardless. He has a family now. I feel like he wants to raise his family in a better city. I’m from Milwaukee, it’s so segregated here. Miami, Toronto or New York.
“Just need to fine tune things”. *Moments later* Damian Lillard.
lol first reaction was that hes proud of his paycheck thats real
I can get you guys in contact with the owner of fudruckers
Two weeks later, and this interview is significant because at the 36 minute mark Khris specifically talks about how teams that lose in the playoffs get broken up to try something else. I have to wonder if he had ANY idea the trade for Lillard was coming?
The GM spoke about it and even Giannis didn't know until after it happened (they said Jrue and Giannis being so close (which Middleton is too) that they wouldn't put that on him).
They probably had suspicions more trades might happen early on, due to how last season ended, but trading Jrue and getting Damian Lillard of all people, was probably a pretty crazy surprise.
@@infasis I totally agree that Horst did not outright tell the team. But, whether the trade was Jrue for Dame, or some other big 3 deal, I think both Middleton and Giannis knew that the one valuable piece that could be traded was Jrue and they were mentally and emotionally ready for it.(Just my opinion though)
Sometimes it's more like Batman and Superman...
So nobody is gonna talk about this 51:09
😂
I’m aware he said “I think I was solid” - but it’s funnier to hear it as it sounds lmao
Too many questions about Giannis. Tbh you can learn a few things From nardwar. Do some research You asked a question about 2021 championship. It wouldn’t be that hard to know he had a kid shortly after. Again, do some research. I feel like this coulda been a waaaay better interview. Better in terms of depth. Coulda asked him about that first all star, what was special about it or did he hear the Kobe comparisons that day?😂 Or maybe ask more USA questions seeing how he won gold and may not even get invited to Paris. I wonder fired he want to Go? Sorry for being lw. Anyways, solid interview for the most part but try to squeeze the fun out these guys. Pause
The sound on Khris is choppy and it's VERY annoying!
What a 🥱 interview 🤤 on a serious note, i hope he comes back to form for the Bucks last dance
You have problems.
This interview was excellent.
Anne now he has same lol jj should of waited a couple weeks 😂
2 weeks later - DAME TIME enters the chat.
👍
