He actually was exactly 6-22. Crazy how he remembers that
He lived it
@@GenuisMe he probably watched all kinds of film on it
I think he mention it before that he really loves basketball, so if he's not playing or in practice he may be watching current or old games
KD breathes basketball dude probably remembers all his stats since day 1 in the nba
That's wild
The lob city era, man do I miss that era of CP3 lobbing on almost every play, was a fun time. 💯
yup
i still remember when they kidnapped dj so he wouldnt sign to the mavs 😂😂
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him mess up a lob. Him Gary Payton, and Nash might be the best lob throwers I’ve ever seen.
@@TheIcemanthomas sometimes I totally forget that Gary Payton had kemp for so long
Cp3 was his best in a Rockets uniform...undoubtedly.
2:20 “when he pulled up for that I was like “whoa” “😂😂😂
Man I love Russ but right there tell you that was bad shot with kd in you team
@@NYCHB he made the free throws anyway so theres that. Considering russ was one of the clutchest free throw shooters too
@@jayow3391 yeah that was great too but if cp3 didn’t fouls that shot would look crazy
@@NYCHB It still looked crazy even with the foul. All the foul did was justify him taking that silly shot in other similar scenarios.
@@NYCHB yup thats true, couldve been awful. But he couldve made that shot too if cp3 didnt try to contest it. Considering he has hit crazy shots like that 💀.
this makes the old aging Spurs 2014 run vs all those young legs even more phenomenal
Exactly and still they get no bloody respect
JJ spot on with the small ball lineup. Didn’t have any wing depth to have one. Guys like Wesley, Pierce, Luc, Hedo, and Reggie aren’t gonna cut it. Matt Barnes was the best wing those Clippers teams had
Pierce was slow in his prime so u can only imagine how hard he fell off
@@frankiemercadante1217 pierce played solid for us. The year GSW won their first championship, Paul Pierce hit a clutch 3 at the end of game 6 that should’ve sent em to game 7 but they didn’t count it. It should’ve counted tho
@@frankiemercadante1217 pierce was not that slow. He was just picky with his spots and decisive. Very much like how doncic plays. Not fast but not slow either. Just plays at his own pace.
Literally their problem the entire time cp was there
Biggest reason why the Suns are doing what their doing now. Imagine a Mikal Bridges on Lob City smfh
Clips v Okc
Mem v Okc
Sas v Okc
Gsw v Okc
Crazy series!
The Lob City Clips we’re good. But the West has Three emerging teams… LAC,OKC and the GSW. The only thing that the Clips lacked in were Blake not being able to play in the post and DJ just being useless unless it was a lob. That really handicapped my Clips. That and injuries.
Agree i wouldve liked to see Carmelo, CP and Deandre. Seems like a more natural fit. Around that time Melo was scoring champ and 3rd MVP votes playing power forward
And the rockets
Had*
The problem with those Clippers teams is their other 2 big contract players we’re almost totally dependent on others to get them looks. The league also changed from under their feet becoming an outside in game much more.
The Clippers have been handicapped since San Diego… 😉
They need to do a 30 for 30 and city why everyone hated that clippers team 😭
CP3 was looked at as a teachers pet
I never got that vibe they was hated other then the fact Blake was baptizing people
It’s obvious. The media treated them and spoke about them like they were a dynasty! When they had won nothing not even to the western conference
probably because if you were under the rim a deandre jordan type of dunk could happen at any time
Chris got a reputation about being dirty cause he actually knows the rules of the game and uses them to extreme effectiveness
Bruh I wanted to cry after this game. I’m a huge CP3 Fan. It was unbelievable
Never been so disappointing
Its a testament to JJ's character. He gets the top stars even ESPN cant get.
hopefully he can get lebron one day. should be able as lebron rates him.
They say KD is a guy who just loves to hoop and you can tell he loves talking basketball. The ridiculous interviews he has no interest in but sit down and just talk hoops. Just a guy who genuinely loves basketball.
Cause JJ is cool with him and so many other star players.
Love JJ but people didn’t hate the Clippers because they were frontrunners. They hated the Clippers because Chris Paul and Blake Griffen were the two biggest floppers and whiners in the league. And then on top of being frontrunners, they never did anything and got out of the 2nd round with it.
Umm maybe you should go back & look at film the league was bullying Blake & refs wouldn’t call nothing … the biggest floppers? You do know which players started all this bs flopping?
@@JonesB94 That’s true af
@@JonesB94 Flopping has been a thing in the NBA for a while, and trust me, I understand that players flop only because they feel like they need to embellish contact in order to make the referees realize they're getting hit.
But whether or not Blake got a bad whistle, nobody flopped more than him while he was in his prime. Nobody.
@@grantdowling8550 okay you can definitely have your opinion but it’s no where near facts
@@JonesB94 I get it, you're a Clippers fan, it's okay. Or maybe a sneaky Oklahoma fan.
I wish they inserted clips from that part of the game while talking about it lol
I cried after this game it was such a big clippers and cp3 fan man it a couple days before my birthday too
JJ is a microphone guy who happens to be a great hooper 👊🏿
He looks like he could be a 3 point threat
he looks like he could have played for orl, lac, phi, nop, mil, and dal. I dont honestly know why i thought of those exact teams ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jj hoops ?
Dude it’s so crazy how well Durant remembers games from years ago lol. He knew exactly how many shots he made and how many he took. And remembers specific plays from the game too.
It’s not as hard as u making it sound . When u are talking about a memory in your life with people that remember it as well it lowkey brings u back to that exact day and I’m sure u remember specific things in your life too
Lob City Clippers… man… they just get brought up every podcast. It’s really so disappointing they never won a chip. Let alone even make the WCF.
Injuries and choking leads. That sums it up really
Doc Rivers man. Literally any other coach would’ve gotten them to the conference finals.
I always say that if they had a reliable 3 and d guy and/or a better coach like ty lue they would’ve won at least one chip. A huge mistake was giving dj that huge contract. That really hamstrung their cap space for a guy that was overrated on defense and could dunk only on offense.
they had zero depth, they relied on everyone in their starting five to have a good game in the playoffs, it's was never gonna get them very far
always struck by how much players can remember about past plays
You can hear how much KD hated the clippers when he said it 😂😂😂
I remember watching that series and game live lol makes me feel old
Crazy how Cp3 makes every team better tho
Setting 4 franchise records for wins with different teams. Just unreal.
How the hell does KD have a memory like this? He was able to recall who he shot over and how he got so open.
hes the goat thats y
hes the goat no other rzn
@@goat8882 One of the Goats
Cause his job is playing ball why wouldn’t he remember a heated playoff series like this?
Basketball is KD's life.
People Knock KD for his time in OKC but In All Honesty They Had Injuries every Year ‘13 Russ gets hurt Vs Houston, ‘14 Ibaka gets hurt vs San Antonio, ‘15 KD foot Injury and Russ Missed Games, ‘16 Was there first Full Healhty Season since ‘12… Not to Mention A Horrible Coach In Donovan
Up 3-1 against the golden state. You gotta to get it done bro.
That’s true. But no one gives cp the benefit of the doubt for that. So why should kd get it? Not talking about u but people in general tend to blame certain players for their teams loses no matter the circumstances but don’t do the same for everyone else.
Do people really knock OKC KD ? I think nearly all of the criticism for KD comes from joining the Warriors. He was a media darling in OKC
@@TheIcemanthomas That’s All I’m Saying💯
I hate that they choked that away in ‘16 cause they definitely was gonna beat the cavs
when the clips squeaked by the warriors, they were lucky to. Bogut was a huge piece that year, and the anchor defensively. after he got injured in that round D Jordan had a field day on the glass and catching lobs. only reason they barely won in 7
Why they don't talk about kd blowing 3-1 lead to warriors, that should been the lowest tbh
He mentally already gave up on his current team at that point. Cant feel bad when you dont care
Such an underrated series
Man I miss them KD russ okc and cp3 Blake 2k teams
what they were saying about blake is true i remember back in like 2010 when i was like 11 years old before i started watching the nba i knew nothing about it like i wasn't even a casual fan i was not a fan at all but there was 2 names i knew even back then one being kobe and the other being blake griffin just because of how much hype was around him i didn't know lebron, wade, rose, kd, cp3 none of those big names in 2010 but blake griffin i did and he was the main reason i became an nba fan later in 2013 when i was 14 i loved watching him play he was so explosive i wasn't a clippers fan tho as i became a spurs fan because even though i loved blake i loved even more the way san antonio played team basketball it was beautiful so even though he's not my favorite player ever that being manu he will always be a special player to me as he was the first that made me even the slightest bit interested in the nba
If you punctuate your sentences, not only are they easier for everyone to read, but more people will actually make the effort to read your words. I have no idea what you said after the first sentence was supposed to end.
@@stop.juststop speak for yourself. I understood. But then again I have really good reading comprehension
@@davidramos1826 Anybody with decent comprehension could understand it. The person who responded most likely fully understood the statement but just wanted to find a reason to call him out for punctuation.
@@davidramos1826 I have great reading comprehension. I just read really fast so if there are no periods or commas, I start to read it as if it is one long sentence and I don’t emphasize the right words.
Start adding the highlight clips to these videos as y’all are speaking on the actual moment. Would be so much better
Still can’t believe OKC had KD SMH
Clippers never had a SF and that was always the problem......L.Ba Moute was probably the best and he was a defender who couldn't shoot
That Lob City team seriously underachieved and it’s incredibly unfortunate because I truly believe they fell victim to Doc River’s lackluster coaching. If they had someone like a Quinn Snyder they would have won at the very least one championship with that squad.
The shade in this one is priceless!
I remember that same series, (might have been the same game KD was talking bout) when they was down 20 in the 4th and the clippers clawed their way back into it. Pretty sure cp3 gaurded KD tall self twice and forced 2 turnovers on him
The only problem of Lob City is everyone vanished when playoffs time except for cp3
Cp3 vanished too bro ain’t he know for his injuries
@@vannq7785 Buddy inform yourself the stats and eye test show cp3 constantly showed up and his supporting cast underperformed
@@zackd9032 I know but Cp3 also vanished multiple years due to injury . Iam literally CP3s biggest fan , iam not disrespecting him iam just stating facts.
@@vannq7785 I think his point was that when cp3 is actually healthy he preforms really well but gets no help.
Yeah let’s not lie 😭. This segment literally is about him vanishing so the fact you commented this tells me you didn’t watch or you just wanted to lie
No exaggeration I have been waiting years for someone to admit this 2:12 as someone who watched that series live 😂😂
When the Clippers played u know they were gonna be on the highlights on ESPN! 😂 also the only thing I hated about the Warriors was when the Coach, Mark Jackson told the players to intentionally injure Blake. I couldn’t respect that.
i love hearing these things memory lane
It’s a tragedy those Clippers teams never won! Seriously so much talent!!! Nba was toooouuuugggghhhh the west was tough back then
The game Chris Paul grandfathered clippers choking. They were never the same again by the admission of many clipper players and the eye test.
CP0 "Mr flop with no ring".
😭😂🤣🤣
Shout out DC!
Love hearing K tlk basketball
3:28 😂😂😂
best content
“I hated the fuckin clippers” the delivery of that line was incredible💀
Adding these stories to my CP can’t win file
Slick shade on Russ taking a three
If those Clippers teams had guys like Robert Covington, PJ Tucker, Cam Johnson, etc. They probably get to at least a Finals
Edit: basically if those Clippers teams had wings like the current day Clippers even minus Kawhi and PG they'd probably have a championship, Morris, Mann, Kennard, Covington, Powell, Batum etc
JJ yall gotta start syncing up the video clips of some of yall stories!
Clippers always had that choking mentality.
Great content. Is it possible to do with it without the language, though? @JJ Redick
Lob city clippers was peak nba
That clippers is the biggest “wut if ” team ever , prob two titles if not for the injuries
That Clippers team was curse 😂
Doc Rivers curse
@@JQUE94 More like Donald Sterling curse. That man put some kind of dark magic to work on his way out lmao.
@@jcmagm He liked everything dark except the meat his side piece would take
I mean when he was in the Rockets, he got cursed too.
Tales of Rusty Westbrick
Yea jj still mad bout that one😂💙
Seems like JJ played on every NBA team
Crazy how y’all remember this detail frm detail
0:09 lol KD called Steph Curry "Steve."
Steve Kerr
@@gvl.t ohh gotcha
2:20 Skip Bayless was right about how Kevin feels about Russ shot selection
Russ definitely not a shooter lol but he Is a shot maker! He hit some huge shots In those playoff runs.
That was your lowest point with the Thunder? Ok…
Why is that other dude even there
J.j is taking over the basketball media world 🔥
The clippers really could have gotten ahead of the curve in the nba but let their rivals in golden state do it. I remember feeling so sad for them because they just never grabbed their opportunity
Word. I mean i'm a Suns fan so watching the playoffs anytime after 2009-2010, watching the playoffs was kinda relaxing. I liked that Clippers lineup because it had a traditional point guard who ran pick and roll and of course, the lobs. I used to want CP3 on a decent Suns roster and was a bit sketched out when we did get old Chris Paul. Glad it's doing pretty well so far.
I don't understand the 'ahead of the curve' remark because Phoenix already had PG-C-3-shooters thing back in 2005. That starting 5 (Nash, Johnson, Q-Rich, Marion, Amare) was something. If Amare focused more on D that team would've won titles.
If CP get his own pod it’s over
Somebody please tell me what kind of palms those are in the corners 🌱
There’s a reason people call him CP3 😂
I need THAT KD HAT
All those water glasses on the table with no coasters? Smh
Really they had the whole world in their hands.... and it all just slipped away...
I never remember anyone saying clippers were front runners or anything we all knew it was gonna be Spurs or Okc
Looking back I used to be mad at KD for leaving but I understand why…. OKC had No Spacing, They we’re riddled with injuries almost every season, Russ Decision making cost OKC A lot of Games, They Traded harden when they didn’t have too, After they fire Brooks( Terrible coach) they Hire Donovan whose even Worse and came from college
people understand his reason for leaving, i personally get it and i support it. It's jsut that he went to super strong team which makes a super duper team. On his 3 years there, every one knew who's going to be the champs.
i understand why he left okc but i don’t like how he joined the team that beat him in the conference finals. still love ‘em tho. best scorer ever imo
@@august6281 except every team including the warriors were offering him the same amount of money. So even if he lost to the warriors in the playoffs the year before why wouldn't he choose them? Anyone would've said yes to that in his position noones gonna be like "even though the warriors are the best option I'm gonna go to a weaker team to be fair" like what kinda logic is that?
Donovan is a good coach
@@evileyegaming405 no one is saying it wasn’t LOGICAL to go to the best basketball team in the nba when they are paying you the same as everyone else. People are just hating the decision because it essentially tarnished his legacy (yes it does) and made a great team basically unbeatable. it’s not illogical to go somewhere else either lmao. KD ain’t the only person to get great offers from heavy rivals, and there’s a reason most people don’t do it. That’s why people were so annoyed with it.
Nobody wanna talk about when jj cooked harden for a game in the playoffs
All them clippers team needed was Rudy Gay or a scoring wing
get russ on here asap
CP has enough tape on him to know he does not come up big in the biggest moments. That’s life
When i hear jj talk about the clippers, i keep hearing meltdown LOL
KD MVP…LETS GO NETS🏆
Losing game 4 against the clippers was worse than choking a 3-1 lead to the warriors ??
I think because KD was gonna join them anyways so there was no pressure.
Lowest is saw cp was when steph broke his ankles
Kd need ta talk ab how Russ not a good teammate
Kevin is the Snoop of Basketball. Straight G, but dialled-in..
Can anyone tell me what hat KD is wearing? Is it a tigers hat?
Who is that fourth dude?
I’m guessing you’re talking about the guy next to KD. That’s Eddie Gonzalez, he hosts the podcast that KD does
I really hope CP3 wins it all this year. 🙏
Watching JJ talk to his peers and recalling key moments is pure gold. Imagine getting three perspectives on the same convos! Has CP3 been on yet? I more than likely missed it.
who is this guy sitting next to kd?
Back when cousins was an mvp caliber player
CP3 has had ample opportunities to get a ring
3:19 you sure…
Westbrook probably don’t remember anything 🤣
Welp can’t blame cp3 if Adam silver says they want another time get by and it’s in your contract to do so then you just gotta wait until the script goes your way
How tf is nba scripted
what does he mean by the clippers were front runners?
It means they were always the team to beat at that time.
@@RiruKrypto_ the original commenter might be pointing out that it's a bit of an overstatement to call them the frontrunners when they didn't even make it past the 2nd round once. That's my opinion, at least.
No you wouldn't be ahead of the league by play Blake at 5. Heard of a guy called STAT playing with Nash running 7sec or less pick and roll?
Search "2015 playoffs game 5 la okc"
The hype for a single dunk takes me back to high school I’d get a steal and the student section would already be hype
I never bought on that Clippers hype I knew it wouldn't work
Wow you really know the game, impressive
jj just talking, he forgets that u had tim duncan to deal with to get to the finals,,..aint no way u can small ball with him especially with Blake not being a good defender
and now cp3 and kd teammates.
