I AM ATHLETE | Season 3: Episode 19
Brandon Marshall and D.J. Williams welcome J.R. Smith and Antoine Walker to the show as they discuss basketball, HBCU’s, what really happened in the 2018 NBA Finals and much more. #JRsmith #HBCU #NBAfinals
The show opens up with J.R. talking about his time in Denver and what it was like playing with Carmelo Anthony and company. Antoine goes on to talk about the similarities between him and J.R. when it came to how they played the game. Antoine felt judged when playing for the Boston Celtics because of the way he celebrated and showboated around the court. He explains how people looked at him differently because of that and understands the weight J.R. felt from the public eye because he chose to do things differently when he played.
Brandon brings up HBCUs and asks J.R. to explain his thoughts on the topic. J.R. begins by saying how he went to a high school that was predominately white and explains that he never felt as if he was accepted and belonged. He goes on by saying how much he admires Deion Sanders and what he is doing at Jackson State. He explains how there needs to be more Brandon Marshall’s and D.J. Williams’ going to HBCUs to play football in order to see a change in popularity.
The conversation shifts to the 2018 NBA Finals as Brandon asks what really happened during the infamous moment when J.R. chose to hold the ball with seconds left in their tied game with the Golden State Warriors. He talks about the miscommunication between the team which ultimately led to that mistake. He opens up to talk about the struggles he faced mentally after that game with the world putting all the blame on him for what happened. He says, “That’s not my legacy…not if I have something to do with it.” He explains how the world gives you labels and creates your identity for you, when referring to his nickname of ‘Henny God’. He says, “I don’t even drink Hennessy.” He explains how he feels he’s been misrepresented but has finally come to peace with what happened back in 2018.

JR dropped bars on bars in this ep. I really appreciate when they let the guest speak and not talk over each other. This show is literally my therapy. 💯
Mines as well...❤️✊🏾
Grew so much respect for JR Smith after this interview.... Brandon is putting some authentic interviews together unfiltered 💪🏿💪🏿
Definitely the best BM has done hosting in a long time
True statement about allowing people to speak.
I think they figuring that out
I'm going to commend Brandon for hearing us all and letting the guest be the star. This version of JR brings back the memory of him hugging his dad after he won the chip. Very insightful and deep interview. Keep up the great work
Well said!
He's also has transitioned to giving us the content that his core audience wants to see. I didn't have a huge issue with I AM NASCAR, because I understand that he wanted to expand his reach. But it's the candid and unfiltered convos with the athletes that WE love, is why we tune in. Very smart for Brandon to take the constructive criticism, and still make I AM ATHLETE a must see every week or two.
Well said, I saw the previews of the Pac-Man interview and I didn't even watch because they was talking all over each other
He had no choice bc he does the exact opposite what JR was talking bout. He rich as hell but yet still screaming this Black Lives Matter crap but want build shit for the community
@@playmaker2121 Iamathlete has a training facility in Orlando, Fl. They invite athletes there to workout and learn, not just only about football. If you bumped into Brandon Marshall at a mall right now selling a product and had a good conversation with him, I guarantee he would pull out his phone and film a promo for you on the spot.
JR, is the hypocrite. Basketball players make SIGNIFICANTLY more money than football players, JR can probably buy a private jet. JR can sign a deal right now for 12m for a season coming off the bench and play till he’s 40; Brandon can’t even dream about putting pads on for an NFL team again.
Basketball players don’t make the physical sacrifices football players do and make WAAY more… but do absolutely nothing for their communities. Why is Shaq the only player offering an affordable shoe still after all these years? Basketball players are narcissistic scum bags who wait until the curtain calls to grow up.
JR Smith has come a long way. Props to him for going back to school and getting a 4.0 GPA after making millions of dollars in the NBA. I wish him continued success academically.
He didn’t come nowhere this is who this man been the whole time!! But the media created a false persona of this man. He just sat there and told you this🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
@@cooperken871 Come a long way from never being into school like that growing up and now he has a 4.0 GPA. He just sat there and told you that too which is what I meant. From kid to adult, we all come a long way somehow in different ways.
@@KD_SWAGGER did you not watch the interview
@@sativafrmlucia I did why?
THIS IS A MACRO AGGRESSION INSULT HE CAME A LONG WAY FROM WHERE. GET OUT OF HERE
This is why “They” don’t want us educating ourselves. JR has become enlightened. Once that happens it’s a threat to society. I’m glad I got to hear him speak for himself because just like everyone else I had preconceived notions about him. This is the wavelength we all should be on but we’ve been programmed. My hope one day is that black people will actually work together and trust each other. And shoutout to Kenyon Martin! He a real one!
That’s the thing if they say a certain narrative and when I say they I mean even our own people, but we’ll still run with the ish. We judge our own more then any other culture and it’s a shame, but that’s what we do, and we still can’t see that. I will say hi Steven A. Smith is one of the worst at doing it...I don’t mean to blast him for the people that’s going to read this and get their hurt, but yes I do mean to say it for the people that will listen…in sports he tear down more black people in then he should be allowed, but then when they respond he say they soft…ain’t nothing weaker then a man judging another man if you never been in his position, or without ever even meeting that man before.
Most ppl don’t realize JR Smith was fresh out of high school just like Lebron Kobe KG etc. He’s been around a lot of greats and it shows when he’s able to be heard without filter.
@@17terq his journey is really ridiculous.
I don’t think THEY are concerned with whether we educate ourselves or not. Information is everywhere and more accessible than anything now that technology has advanced. I find it funny how some of us still point the finger and blame someone else for the lack of wanting to seek knowledge or obtain valuable information.
@@stryleyung3891 So you mean to tell me you would accept other people outside of your own culture JUDGING you opposed to your own? Why? Someone who doesn’t identify with you in no way being able to critique, say what’s right or wrong, when it comes to lifestyle, upbringing or just your way of life that they are so far removed and disconnected from you rather they judge you?
Maaaaaaaaan MAJOR respect to JR SMITH….prime example of how media can portray certain images of someone but when you take a minute to sit and really learn and listen you get a completely different perspective from them. Salute brother 💯💪🏽
Okay 👌
Im so glad we are in a podcast era now where these athletes,musicians and entertainers can really say what the fuck they feel with no kap!!!!Salute to everyone on this panel!!!!🤙🏿💯🐐
This is so much better than The Pivot, they have big named guests but no one like JR. DJ is the perfect replacement for Channing he is funny and witty.
Yes i agree back in the day the artists couldn't speak up I like how LeBron James is open on how he does things.
@@ogflowers1578 idk that mayweather episode was classic on the pivot tho...
@@ogflowers1578 no need to bring down one to praise another both podcasts drop wisdom and give us common people a different perspective we should praise and respect both podcasts
I agree with everything you wrote.
man. really got me sitting here just thinking about what we could accomplish together if we just stopped buying shit we dont need. This episode has so many gems in it. Gonna have to watch it again.
Exactly I see poor folks wearing 5k bags 2k shoes in the ghetto no savings or bank account smh I cringe when I think bout how many impoverished black kids waiting to do the same thing when they get a few dollars
Been saying that for the longest time. In order to help your community someone need to step up and contribute. But they all too busy buying expensive stuff and spending $$$ on unnecessary things. Then when bad things happened they turn around and blame somebody else. I’m Asian, we help our community from education and returned what we learned. We don’t expect anyone to give reparation but work hard and earn it. Imagine if all athletes give at least 10% from their paychecks. The community will be in a lot better place and all of this non sense that is happening now will not exist.
@@michaelcrz1430 They really don’t have to invest much money. The communities he’s talking about need hope. That’s why I don’t like him preaching this low hanging fruit argument filled with self-depreciation. If you followed this dude’s career, you will see he didn’t want to be a “Hotep protect the black community” asset until he washed out of the league like Kaepernick.
There was literally a point where JR signed with Young Money and tattooed the logo on his neck….. this dude is a clout chaser, even now with this golf and college thing he’s doing.
Still don’t like this guy fukkem.

Man....if you dont become a JR fan after this interview, you are off the mark. This brother is Brilliant
☝🏾✊🏾💯
As a person, JR is positioning himself to be a legendary leader in the black community. Salute bro- let’s see where you can take us all.
The only thing I hate about black athletes is that they wait until they’re either out the league or not in their prime anymore to speak on real black issues. You thought they would’ve learned from someone like Muhammad Ali, but I realize he was just built different
@@nmessai215 please give examples. LeBron, Chris are guys who have always given to their roots
@@nmessai215 because they have contracts and endorsements to protect and people to provide for they can't just say what they want when they want 24/7 they are on the clock
Yes, and Alex Caruso is positioning himself to be a legendary leader on the Caucasian community.
I can’t wait to see where he takes us Caucasians.
@@nmessai215 Ali had no choice to speak out because they had drafted him to go to army. It was personal. Then he had become a Muslim.
"WE GOT THE MONEY...WE DON'T HAVE THE MENTALITY!!! GREATEST STATEMENT EVER!!!
This was such a great episode! As a mom of sons that are in sports, its really awesome to hear the mentality shift from the Euro-centric mindset to an Afro centric mindset.
Amen
Lol this stuff is entertainment lady wake up 🤣
Listen lady. Euro-centric Mindset is saving money, investing money, creating businesses, diversifying your portfolio. Afro-american mindset is what J.R is talking about, rapping, selling drugs, fucking bitches, wasting money on jewelry’s cars. Basically, Materialistic. He’s telling everyone to take a page out of what you call “euro centric” to better the community. Your bias is showing and you’re not being honest with yourself about the current situation of the culture of the world let alone our people.
99% of the black communities problems are self-inflicted. Let's stop being divided by digging in and addressing the problems of fatherless homes, materialistic greed, selfishness, and over sexualization. Sadly JR Smiths mentality is few and far between.
@Barbara Burnett I agree this is a great episode! I disagree that saving money, investing money, creating residual income, creating businesses, etc... is strictly a "Euro-centric" concept. There are a whole lot of poor white people who don't know how to do these things either. Money management doesn't belong to one group of people.. but people of all races and ethnicities have to want to learn about finances... it is not something that is inherited unless someone is lucky enough to be raised by parents who are wise and willing to teach. Billy Carson is a very successful black man with a money mindset who is very passionate about teaching his kids about money management and creating generational wealth. This reminds me of Nick Cannon saying marriage is a "Euro-centric" concept because he has 8 kids from 5 different women. Marriage use to be a spiritual concept... now it is viewed as a state endorsed, social contract. Marriages are failing because we don't value the commitment the same.
These kind of conversations change futures.
JR cemented his legacy with this dialogue.
Excited to see what comes from him next.
JR Smith a good example of how everybody absorb things out of context .
Can you explain honest question no malice
@@kingg_shuffle3513 The actual occurrence of him holding the ball into the end was the only thing that shaped the narrative of the team's loss . people barely discuss the other quarters of the game .
I appreciate JR’s comments about our need to develop a new mindset, one that is more community focused.👏👏👏
"The people that I need to understand me, understand me" that is powerful.
when he said that guys would rather throw 60k away in the strip club instead of feeding 250k homeless people.....that hit home
That was heavy as fuck. Fuck all that club shit
Or do both, the issue is not understanding the impact of certain habits, a house around your neck that could feed a whOle village
A Lotta gems in this episode. What resonated with me the most was speaking about community and how we all play apart. Not just celebrities and start with our ‘everyday people’
Big props to JR Smith. That brother is on his way to doing greater things! Keep going higher brother. Awesome testimonies and stories!
This was one of the best interviews to date. Triple salute for giving athletes from our communities a platform to show that they're more than athletes. Keep up the great work✊🏾💯
JR hit it out the park. Millionaire athletes and entertains complaining when they the ones helping doing the damage and can easily provide a corrective actions with 1% of their income.
It's only 20 percent of what the community needs. We need to regain a deep sense of community and love for our people. A relearning of who we were.
@@dmmarrero1 that ain’t never gon happen the way it’s looking g
The problem is people relying on celebrities and athletes to do something. Take care of your own stuff and you won't have to worry about what they're doing.
@@kifley19 We need to help each other on all fronts, not all have the mindset to help themselves.
I got so much more respect for Jr after this! Real talk I'm guilty of stereotyping my brother I laughed at the jokes and bought into the narrative of what the media portrayed him as and I apologize for that from brotha to brotha I don't know you but I wish the best for you and your vision straight up! 💯
Not just J R the media has a purpose and that's to divide black America as much as possible.
You a grown man for this💯💯💯 and that why we gotta do our own research of a person
You real for admitting that
@@lamasterbatonlll1383 Media play they role, tools used to prop up the same people they'll destroy once the order given
@@cameronlockett124 Can't trust media we don't own or control it's crazy how easy we will fall for the narratives the Kwame Brown situation really woke me up fr. I ain't too good to admit I was wrong tho
WOW TO HEAR JR SPEAK SHOWS HOW FAR HE’S COME ALONG!! HE’S DROPPING PURE KNOWLEDGE
35min mark
Yo I actually enjoyed this whole conversation. Thank you for giving JR a chance to share his evolution. He’s one of my favorite players, so it’s cool to see where he’s at now!
Antoine Walker had game. JR smith was ridiculous as well. Some of his in game dunks are some of the dopest.
I still believe his wrap around dunk in the dunk contest was very underrated.
J.R talked that talk on this episode I'm glad B Marsh let him speak.
This was a greatttt interview. I agree with everything JR said. Brandon I'm soo proud of you for letting him speak and not talking over him as you did AB. Thank you guys for creating a podcast to where these athletes can speak their truth. Much Respect!!!!
speaking as a black doctor. Though I would like to see more of our community members compete in careers like mine and in science, accounting, etc, us doctors still enjoy watching you athletes play because you all are our outlet outside of our stressful life. JR wa on point regarding unity.
In IT too. I work in IT and it pays very well but not many of us Black people in it. I try to educate the younger crowd on getting into Information Technology
Thanks for the info guys
Do doctors proofread after writing ✍️ lol cmon man 🧢
@@edwardlawler9487 thanks for doing it.
BRAVO 👏 my brothers! First, Brandon, thank you for the platform and bringing this to us. JR, you are truly an inspiration and brave. You have the right ideas going forward. I pray everything you young Kings are doing will come to fruition.... Love to you all.....
JR is speaking facts. Miss him balling though but get that education. No one can take that degree from you once you earned it.
Yeah they take the degree when they don't give you the job it deserve🤷♂️🤷♂️
They'll give you the debt that comes with the degree , but hesitate on the job it deserves.
~Mr. Johnson~
@@Hesimms i just graduated and this is so relevant. Im not saying that college isn't all its said to be but you can't just get a degree and not apply yourself in your field. If yoy see people in sports they're surrounding themselves with plugs and other athletes who help them get where they need. First generation students are not jumping in those clubs for doctors or those educator circles. Its all grind for the degree but no actual application.
@@thamostgangsta12 I understand you
I think this episode is one of the best ones, the knowledge JR dropping & his mindset... a lot more athletes (& others) need to open their mind up & really understand some of the things he's speaking on & take action. Now.. I know some already actually DO & are out there doing things. But I think a lot more athletes need to help their communities & their people. Getting all this money.. use it for good. Not clubs, not multiple cars, huge houses for no reason.. etc.. Use your heart & mind.! Y'all be wanting in the league to get out of the hardships where you come from... Be the one to set the stones to help others get out too. Not everybody can go to the league. Not everybody gets looked at. But YOU with the millions you've made.. you can come up with sources for others to have a chance. 💪❤ As always, LOVE.!
That was a very deep conversation fellas. I didn’t know JR went through all of those things growing. Much respect to JR and his growth and vision moving forward. U guys are setting a great example to our community
Can I just say by saying, I love I am athlete. This show is amazing and these decisions are so important. Now! JR is out here serving. I find his conversation so refreshing and I truly admire and appreciate his honesty and transparency.
I have more respect for JR now that I've heard him speak his mind, he's dope dude. Brandon is an awesome dude as well. He giving athletes of all disciplines some time to talk and say their piece, regardless of what media says. I think he's really got something here and I'm going to stay tuned as long as he keep making content.
I got a lot of Respect for Jr. He changed my perception of him ✊🏼
JR Smith. Glad to call you an Aggie. Thank you so much for shedding so much light on our legacy and the truth about our athletes. It’s time for all of our athletes to come home. We saved your room for you! Big up to IAM ATHLETE for having these honest and in depth conversations.
It hurts when you are misrepresented or misjudged. I can feel his emotions even from the screen. Thankfully, this interview will be the beginning of a change in people's view.
J.R is dealing with a lot of pain.. I hope he continues to grow.. He’s a real one
Pain ???
THE REALEST interview I’ve watched and enjoyed every minute of it. Appreciate Brandon Marshall allowing JR Smith to speak his truth and bring awareness to what is really real out here! God bless JR Smith on his journey and new endeavors!
This joint hit a little different. Proud of JR for being able to open up like that.
No bullshit I used to watch your vids every day bro🤝 hope u blessed up big dawg
those intros to the 2k13 games hit different when I was a jit
This was FRUITFUL ASF!!! So REFRESHING to Hear J.R Speaking these TRUTHS!! Man ol Man! Please Keep applying Pressure Good Brother! 🙌🏽✊🏾🙏🏼
This is my favorite episode thus far. Very enlightening! We need more conversations like this!
Outstanding Interview , the most I've ever heard from JR ever, been a fan from his rookie year always rooted for him &
was one of the ones that judged him harshly for some of his mistakes. His phenomenal transformation is inspiring &
I'm so impressed with him & his love for his family & his people. One of the best shows yet. B Marshal has become a
top shelf interviewer. Love this show.
Big respect and love to jr. It’s crazy getting to know these dudes on a different light and seeing who they really are. Keep up the great work IAA
Without a doubt this is the best interview y’all have ever had!💯
“He was a Dr, he ain’t doing no surgery” 😂😂😂😂 JR was very insightful tho. Wish him the best
J.R. Smith just set the record straight for sure! I love this podcast and love the different episodes but this one is high up on the rank because of the transparency and pureness of truth in this episode. Thanks again, I AM ATHLETE
I'm happy for JR. You can tell he's been patiently waiting for his time to speak and had a plan. Respect.
Brandon did a good job this episode in asking the guest a question and actually letting them answer it and not cutting them off lol.. do every guest like this
Truth
So glad JR got on a major platform and said his peace. We need more of our athletes with his mindset.
Definitely the best “I am athlete” I’ve seen. I have so much respect for JR Smith after listening to this. I knew he was a dope a$$ player. Now I know he is a dope a$$ human being! 💯
THANK YOU JR!! I've been saying some of this same stuff for the longest. He said exactly what needs to be said. You can't tell me that in 2022, we don't have the means to impact our community in a major way and change our situation. Most talk is just sound bites!
I really enjoyed hearing JR tell us who he is instead of what they want us to believe his is...this was a great interview
This was the best convo to date in my opinion. Jr is a Solid man much respect 💯
Bro I worked in the NBA bubble I seen JR Smith in there daily very quit humble dude. And now I see why homie real smart and what you doing bro I salute. Real good dude‼️
These men make me so proud, especially Mr. Walker!!!!! Keep up the great work, I Am Athlete. when JR said, I was balling and giving away money when I was not fulfilled with me, that touched me.
Whole new respect for JR. I appreciate this brother even more! Solid. ✊🏾
JR dropping straight gems. This is the best show
Pure definition of a real brother I appreciate your knowledge and wisdom jr keep speaking the real that we need to hear 🙏🏽💪🏾I hope our ppl understand and listen up so we can make a change 💪🏾
I'm beyond proud 👏 of you J.R. Your journey has just begun!!! I hope the masses of our people could accept personal responsibility as your calling us to do!! Peace and love!
JR Smith has grown a lot in the last few years. This was a great interview.
This is one of my all time favorite interviews frfr. I feel like they need to continue this chat over food & pick Jr Smith's brain 🧠 a lil more! Great fruitful segment 👏🏾 👍🏽 👌🏾 🙌🏾 as always lots of gems ,game and knowledge dropped. Oh and Antwan Walker much love ❤️ & respect 1 of the greats to me as well.
Great episode. I have a new found respect for J.R. Congratulations to him for going back to school to pursue his degree. His mindset and the way he thinks! Mind blowing 🤯. All props to this King!
One of the best shows yet. JR is one of my favorite players I ever watched I always rooted for him I know it’s easy to say now that he is on this show but it’s true, I remember playing with him on NBA live back in the day and I always wanted to use him more then Melo. I would’ve love to here him talk about him impact on golf for people that look like us.
This dude gained my complete respect ✊🏿. And I’m a Warriors fan. Life is beyond sports .
Definitely and people are so competitive nowadays but we all need to remember it’s so much more outside of just sports!
53:33 2017 NBA Finals Talk 👌🏻
Thank you lmao
One of the best episodes yet!! JR, I cant say enough good things about you man, a real one. Stay gold man!!! Brandon, good interview and good energy
It's refreshing to hear what JR has going in his mind. Huge respect to the man, really thinking about helping the community.
I felt every bit of his energy in this interview. This is one of the best on I Am Athlete. People labeling you on a drink you don't even drink, and trashing your name. You standing up for teammates and they don't even stand up for you. I love the way Brandon just let him speak and get it out. Whew! It got real deep on this one.
This interview really humanizes JR Smith. This man has depth. Good luck to you king
Another great episode/I love it fellas!! Keep the insightful/inspiring conversations coming because it’s really making an impact frfr!!✊🏾✊🏾
Great interview! Can we get a part 2? Would love to hear more about Antwan Walker's journey 🙏🏽
This right here by far is the best episode of "I Am Athlete".
Damn wasn't sure if I was gunna come back to this platform after seeing the pivot but then I seen JR SWISH! Plus I can't be one sided/simple minded gotta pick up all the gems
I agree. Fred Taylor did say that they aint trying to compete with Brandon. Despite how things may have ended both platforms can win.
It’s ok to like both bro. I do
Brandon Tatum sent me here, to watch the full video, not just the clip he showed. All the inspiration had me tearing up alot. Good talk guys!
Great interview! JR Smith was dropping a lot of gems. I applaud you young KING for putting in the work for us as a culture. Keep going like you said you have a lot left in the tank. Many blessing to you and all that you're doing.❤️
Jr smith needs his own podcast he’s a genius 💯
This was beyond dope. The growth this brother JR Smith displayed was everything needed to see and hear. This brother is the author of HIS narrative and I am inspired.
Interview of the year.
I have watched this episode 3 times and can't count how many times I've shared it. It was a great episode.
Great conversation guys... Big up to JR.. Brother is insightful and thoughtful in what he is trying to convey..
Always was a fan of JR, getting to know who he is off the court is dope
This was dope! This is the mindset need to push our community forward
This the best interview you guys have had, up to this point.
Elevated and enlightened brother. Happy for JR - hope you get crack again for another year or two brother. Salute B Marshall
This was deep and insightful. The problem is not enough of our people will see this and plan accordingly. When I look at the youth of today I have to ask myself are we too far gone to recover?
J.R has been my favorite player in the league since his knicks days and everyone used to clown me because I didn’t like the “bigger” names in the nba. They just didn’t understand him for him and I hope after watching y’all see why.
One of the dopest episodes ever! Would love to sit down with these guys and J.R Smith was brilliant in this interview as well.
An hour and 15 minutes and I wanted more of that convo!!! Lots of knowledge being thrown around
So much respect for J.R. Smith- I ride with you.
Related to every words JR said. As a young black man in university first time being a minority in a classroom full of brain it is most definitely tough. The way people look at you, trying to marginalized you based of your skin colour. But JR spoke truth every day us Black people put up a fight by living through the legacy of our ancestors. And yes, we need to continue the work of our ancestors by investing in our community and paving the way for the next generations.
Know thyself.
Great interview. J.R. Smith let us see another side of himself. You never know what makes another person tick until you talk to them. Very deep conversation. We've still have a long way to as a people. A house divided will not stand.
I've been waiting for an athlete to talk this talk. I always loved JR but I love this version of JR
Looking forward to a good show!
Damn, JR Smith's maturation is on level 10. Legendary interview.
This is 1 of the best IAA episodes hand's down! Great content. Love the conversation these brothas are having especially my Aggie brotha JR. AGGIE PRIDE!!!
Mad respect for J.R.! Speaking truth. Inspired and encouraged.
I’m glad B Marshall let JR talk!! Good job on that!! Now, you could have continue the conversation. He dropped mad gems, and you just went to the next subject!! You getting there though!💯💪🏽
Huge respect for JR before and now after this. Salute.
This episode was dope I’m glad I got to know more about this side of J.R.Smith
I learned a lot and this was very insightful listening to you guys..
Great interview J.R.! Brandon I can see your growth! Thanks for allowing J.R. to speak his peace!
