    Iguodala is an extremely intelligent guy and is about his people and community. He takes pride in education and learning. Also glad that he has a solid relationship with Jaylen Brown, Kyrie and other players that want to stand for something other than just being an NBA player. He’s the guy that other players should look up to

    This is probably my fave podcast now. No gimmicks, no trying to go viral…Melo is just being his authentic self and it’s still insightful and entertaining. Love the variety of guests that are interviewed.

    It's crazy how Melo's reputation amongst actual players is beyond solidified, while casuals and the media try to paint a completely different picture. I've yet to hear a single player have a bad thing to say about dude. You see the deference that a borderline HOFer like Iggy has for dude.

      ​​@@obieonesteph7675great point but this is exactly what they're touching on early in the convo about the 'nasty business' when the negro negotiations come about. How the slander starts the; "he's difficult, he don't wanna win, he don't wanna sacrifice". There's a lot of hidden gems in this whole convo if you really peep it. It's sad makes me realise it really is another plantation in its own way, but hey he does mention 40 million dollar slaves.

    I truly admire Iguodala work ethic in the court and how dominate he was. Now getting a better insight of himself as a person it’s phenomenal especially finally an athlete that can explain what the business side of the NBA is like. Props to Carmelo and his partner to bring him on the podcast I watched from the beginning to end 👏

    Springfield, Illinois stand up!
    I’m from Andre’s hometown and grew up watching him & Rich McBride play at Lanphier. I was ball boy for Southeast their rival but always loved watching him fly thru the lane at the convention center City Tournament.
    As a kid I went to several of his youth camps. When I was in college, after he won finals MVP he came home and I was on his team at an open gym. He lowkey doesn’t miss during workouts
    It’s been great to have him as the standard for the city #217

    • @PetrodollarDealEndedSoWakeUp
      @PetrodollarDealEndedSoWakeUp Před dnem

      We’ve got to stop this nonsense. Everyone isn’t HOF. ONE TIME all-star. ONE TIME all-defense. One stolen Finals MVP- HE HIMSELF AGREED THAT WAS STEPH’S MVP. Career averages: 11/5/4 👀🤨🚩🚩🚩 He was NOT GREAT… and NOT EVEN GOOD OR RELEVANT for nearly 20 years. YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO PLAY 2-way when you’re THE NINTH OVERALL PICK⛔️⚠️🚩🚩 He had VERY FEW “GREAT” years- IF ANY. AS A MAN, I think he’s awesome on and off the court. He was integral. Often. Diverse. But the beginning and end of his career- especially the last few years, weren’t much. And during his peak, he was like Joe Johnson. Very nice. But HOF? NO. NOT EVEN CLOSE. They might let him in as 4-time champion. But they let Bronny into the NBA. So that doesn’t mean he deserves it. HOF gets too watered down in too many sports! 📢🚩 Enough is enough.
