- We are incredibly excited to share this interview with Portland Trail Blazers star Anfernee Simons. Ant is such a bright young talent in the NBA and we were so impressed by his mindset. Topics include: JJ and Tommy open with Western Conference odds and the Darko Rajaković rant on the referees after the Toronto Raptors vs. Los Angeles Lakers game. Then Ant joins the show and opens up with a story about JJ Redick humbling him during his second year. Then Simons talks about Evan Turner as his team vet, being the only American player to go straight from high school to the pros, learning from Damian Lillard, developing a clutch mentality, his favorite "Dame Time" moments ever, what he considers to be the best scorers in the NBA and much more. Enjoy the episode!

I haven't followed him at all but after listening to him speak, he's a wealth of knowledge. His retention level is awesome. I wonder at a young age and he played with Lillard made him that much better. Great interview.
Wow, what a wonderful person. Thanks so much for introducing us to so many great players/people.
Such humility...have really enjoyed watching Ant's career.
dame a real one for helping younger players in-game like this
Him & Sharpe are going to be an insane backcourt for the blazers moving forward.
i think theyll trade him around when his contract is up and build around scoot and sharpe.
You forgot Scoooooooot 😂
Not to be harsh but I don’t think Simons is a starter when they are actually a playoff team again his defense is nonexistent and his stats seem empty he seems suited to be a 6th man on any actual good team
@@jonthesinnernot based on this season.
@@bkelly625bow are his stats empty?
This might be my favorite episode so far and I’ve watched A LOT of em. Being born and raised in Portland might give me some biased feelings, but still. The reminiscence, meaning of supportive vets and Dame appreciation are all itches I’ve been waiting for this show to scratch.
Bro yall were clicking today, episode felt very smooth, Tommy was great, Anfernee was a joyfull guest and JJ had it going too with the foul tricks at the start. Awesome ep congrats.
My absolute favorite part about being an NBA fan is watching guys from the start of their NBA career and watching how they change and grow. Anfernee is a special kid, and seeing the whole NBA start to blitz him is validating, it's like yeah. Now watching him try to learn how to adjust to this is exciting, luckily he obviously learned a lot from Dame.
Can’t wait to watch this, JJ please get OG Anunoby on this pod. Love
Yeh Viola Davis would be awesome on this show 🙏
Yet another in the lengthening string of outstanding guests in OM&3. Love this dude.
Been waiting on this!! ORLANDO FL STAND UP, we proud of you gang!! 💪🏾🌳💯
I'm so happy that he was on this show. He's easily one of my favorite players in the League and should get much more pub.
Liked Ant before the interview, loved him after. Great interview. Thank you!
I love to see Anfernee interviews. He's not typically very talkative, so it's good to see him open up.
i’ve literally never clicked on a video faster in my life
Love Ant, great to see him grow into his bigger role. Unfortunate timing with the blowout loss yesterday but the kid is a certified bucket
I feel that, trying to feel the game out and starting 1-5 in the 1st half and then dropping 17+ in the 2nd half’s. It felt better so I didn’t rush and felt comfortable
i think the hardest call for the refs foul rule should be amended to specify that if the defensive player is running towards or closing out on the offensive player and bumps him, its a foul. But if the offensive player initiates the contact or the defender is moving backwards or laterally, it isn't a foul
As a wichita state university and duke fan, its awesome to hear you were Shamat's vet 💙
Love this 5 level scoring, Gil said the same thing but the 5th level is the triple threat.
Top 5 humble players
I love Simons. Thanks for having Ant of the show JJ. I would love to talk about Dame with you someday JJ lol
This was surprisingly one of my favourite interviews - Anfernee is clearly a baller but also seems down to earth and humble about it too. Very much a learner of the game too from the way he speaks. I have to ask the question and I hope I'm not repeating someone else's but...is Lebron James ever going to come on this podcast?
I’d like to see Tim Duncan on this podcast. The way Tommy and JJ ask these questions and engage with their guest is smooth and keeps it flowing with ease
Tim Duncan would be amazing
We love Ant here in Portland!
crazy i seen anfernee play at img like in 2019 i believe, in some crazy triple OT game against FSW … he had a 30 point triple double
I credit Anferno for getting OM3 to 1 mil subs
Comes from my hometown born in Altamonte springs Florida ☝🏽 hometown hero
The Simons segment is 62 minutes long. Just an observation. Nothing more...
i don’t even care if it actually is, this is hilarious
Post Work is a level JJ.
That segment at 32:00 goes out to all the scoot haters fr
Finally time stamps
Great episode as always!!! But we need more Knicks players on 🙏🏾
Straight dawg
Who wins between these lineups
Doncic, Haliburton, Tatum, Wemby, Jokic
SGA, Booker, Giannis, Holmgren, Embiid
Fr, there's so many vets out there that rebuilding teams could sign short-term contracts with to just pass on wisdom to these young guys from the sidelines. Dwight Howard, Dwayne Wade, Vince Carter, LaMarcus Aldridge, etc.
None of those guys are ever getting on an NBA roster again lol better off going for Ibaka, Iggy, T Ross
@c-rlos sure, I'm no GM, obviously. Although, I think Aldridge could still suit up.
Just whoever they think would be the best presence and source of knowledge and may be able to give 1-5 points in a worst case scenario 😅
Not likely Aldridge is coming back - he has a heart condition. And, in Portland’s case at least, he bolted for San Antonio after assuring the Blazers that he would re-sign there as a free agent
Nice
Thank u for mentioning how Eric Gordon had consistently spot up from 30 ft
Anfernee's mindset is sharp
Gil talked about the 5 level scorer a few months back
a quote on quote winning situation is how every single damn one of us should have described the Stotts era Im dying lmao
Anfernee "never breaking eye-contact" Simons
Teams watching this "okay, trap him with smaller, quicker players"
Dude gotta chill with all the scouting report stuff in podcasts lol
If that’s gonna stop him he won’t belong anyway, he gonna power through 💪🏾
Anfernee ain’t lying, Russ legit looks 6’5 205 sometimes to me out there
damn he been playing for 6 YEARS already?? sheeesh feel like this only his 3rd year frfr
Tommy calling it like it is with the refs 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ the goat 🐐
No way wrong timing
Wdym
@@judahjeremydelrio7886 we just lost by 62 last night 😭
There's never a wrong time for Dame 2.0 👊
@@Shaz-Daz true Simons is cold!
Nah fck that ant is my favorite blazer
JJ “It’s a different game” Reddick
Anfernee “it’s a DIFFERENT game” Simmons
come to detroit gang 👌🏿😊
good dude
My GOAT in PDX
Wish more vets were like Dame. Guys are always retiring talking about how the young guys have it easy and this and that but there’s not much of a vet culture in todays league
1 mil sub
I've been saying for years that guys need to get the floater into their arsenal.
4th level should be floater/pull up fade à la Kobe and Booker
JJ mustache make him look like a rookie cop 😂
So... Where's ep 200? 👀
I think it came out Wednesday bro it’s him and Tim leg
It depends how good you can do it 😉
The Quickley foul on Cam Reddish was one of the worst travesties. Marcus Smart got called for embellishing the same day as Cam doesn't. Quickley couldn't change his movement to the bucket, and Cam was moving backwards and across Quickley when the contact occurred. There was no intent, and yet he still gets tossed. Very poor refereeing call.
How would Dame of helped Scoots development if he would of stayed in Portland??
He sounds like Lou Williams
Kyrie 5 level scorer for sure!!
"notice it's all guards... is there anyone else in there"
UH YEAH THE PROTOTYPE 5 LEVEL SCORER = JASON TATUM
Mr Duke blue devil you forgot the ability to draw fouls and make Ft as a level of offense come JJ my guy
KD has gotta be a 5 level scorer right?
JJ just shooting a mfing ca at Eric cannonball lmao uncalled for
Simons a dog man love watching him been watching for years I hope the Blazers can clean house in front office and figure out how to surround him and Sharpe with talent. Idk why they keep drafting guards when we obviously need defenders
Fire Billups
Damn him and BI got the same baby mama lol
uh oh Jj got some new veneers
Kyrie? 5 level?
Ant
Utah Jazz da best team
1:01:16 that is exactly why I think RJ barret is just not it lmao. His game is so choppy and unnatural.

Like who spells their kids name “anfernee” did they hear a chinese dude say “anthony” and they were like “yep, perfect, love the way that sounds. It’s almost correct but nice and different. No one will know, Anfernee it is”🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
its a name variant of anthony like destiny and destinee or Aubrey and Aubree he actaully got the name off of penny hardaway whos real name is anfranee
Tatum is a 5 lv scorer easy.
1st
First
So JJ just keeps defending the refs after that lakers/raptors rigging 😂😂 now we know he’s just an nba puppet. Just call it like it is. The game was fixed for the lakers to win. 23-2 difference in a quarter is ABSURD
🧊🧊🧊🧊🧊
fifththhtht
Not saying Harden on five level scorer is crazy
Anfernee and Brandon Ingram Eskimo bros both have a child w the same woman
Lebron cpmmits like 40 fouls a game jj, stop playin
We need vets, but not the ones who dont care to be there(grant, brogdon, ayton, thybulle)...also a coach who doesnt care and doesnt know how to coach. lets get chauncey n theses guys gone and move on upward. go blazers
Ayton isn’t a vet
literally is, but ya lets.dump.that.contract..granted i wanted grant n brogdon gone way more so rn@@10daniel16
Simon's stop throwing up bricks 😂😂😂😂 your ruining my fantasy 😆 🤣
JJ please stop calling guests bud i beg you
0/10 after interview, Dame taught u well lol
jj redick is nothing....
