No Klay Thompson for a buck???
MATE, LILLARD NEVER WON ANY LEAGUE LEADING AWARD , PPG OR APS. FOR PG THAT STAT IS ''MUST DO'' !! EVERY GREAT PG LED NBA IN DIMES. ZEKE, WESTBROOK, PAYTON, STOCKTON, MAGIC ETC. LILLARD IS MOST OVERRATED AND DELUSIONAL. HE IS NOT TOP 100 IN HISTORY. BEN WALLACE DESERVED SPOT HE WON RING VS KOBE + SHAQ
@@PIP...33 Most smartest comment. I also think Dwight Howard should be 75 not Dame. Howard led team to finals without HOF help. Led NBA in blocks and rebounds billion times. Won more awards (plus ring but I count Orlando not late years) most DPOY after - as you said Ben and Mutombo. Lillard not deserves to be in same breathe with D12 and as you said near Ben Wallace because he beat superteam Malone Payton Kobe Shaq.

“I shoulda had 90” is a sentence only a couple players will ever be able to utter believably
Fr tho It’s kinda wild if you think about it
Like your mom puss
💯
Would’ve been nuts to see him actually get it but yes it’s absolutely believable to hear this from him
Frrr man top 10 PG ever
The fact he said 90 and we all just were like “yea sounds about right” IS WILD
Seriously!...I was already agreeing and nodding my head by reading the title alone. I don't need to watch the video and I haven't yet but yea, its not truly wild cause he is HIM but yea....indeed its wild!....some players can't even score 14 points consistently every night
Facts ...I understood in those moments he missed were when 90ish was possible ...dlil is a beast
Milwaukee just got a shining diamond. Christmas came early (which is appropriate, because Jesus was actually born in Tishrei, which is typically late September/October).
JJ can you please get Kawhi on the show
I hope it happens but I don’t know if kawhi would do it
He's load managing right now let my guy rest
He can’t all podcast guest need to choose the images with fire trucks before they start
Maybe if JJ gifts his uncle a jet
Don’t you think he already tried ?
Kobe only had 26 at halftime to get 81 and had 62 in 3 quarters. It's been possible, but there are just too many factors involved. Once a player knows he's that hot, he has to have a lot of time left and a lot of gas in the tank against a team that isn't selling out to stop him.
And vice versa... Kobe had 60 and didn't even play some 4th qtrs 😭
@@xxtooshiestyxx8756 kobe did that (60--or close to it--in 3 quarters) more than once, too.
@@xxtooshiestyxx8756 WRONG KLAY HAD THAT. NOT KOBE. KOBE SAID IT IS IMPOSSIBLE EVEN WITH 3S BECAUSE WILT SCORE 20 MORE THAN HIM AND KOBE PLAYED ENTIRE GAME VS TORONTO. IF SOMEONE CAN HE WILL DO BUT THEY CANT. LILLARD TRY SHORT 30 PTS. NOT 5 OR 10. THATS 30 PTS LESS.
@@xxtooshiestyxx8756 KLAY 60 . IN 3 Q. WELL HE LAXO OF 40 EVEN IF HE KEPT ON THAT PACE HE WOULD END WITH MAX 82 PTS !!
@@PIP...33 I agree. It is impossible. Lillard try to sell his game here. Kobe once said that Wilt is best ever. His record is impossible to reach. Klay had 60 pts , on that pace he would be 80 points at his best even if he score 30 in last 12 minutes thats still 90 not 100.
Man these dame interviews have been so eye opening. Dude really does have an actual life and it shows in his opinions
This guy definitely seems a lot more down to earth than most nba players. Rookie, vet, it dont matter. Seems like a guy i could have a convo with at my job at the convenience store.
dames a real one for sure
The glazing is crazy
@@actuallymario7676 What makes you say other NBA players are not down to earth?
What insight did you see that he had an actual life

criticise his game or his contract, but delusional? dame is probably the realest NBA superstar there is.

@@judyclarkson5887 dame was right on everything he said tho. you're the one that's delusional.
“I’m probably gonna score 50 points tonight” 😂😂😂😂😂 that’s sick 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I watch a lot of Dame interviews. Its always amazing how he has these games memorized. He can almost give a play by play after the game is over.
Yeah it seems like the best players have an almost photographic memory of the games. It’s their brain analyzing every little detail for improvement
Klay has to be at the top of the list, he's got the craziest hot streaks of all time. 37 in a quarter, NBA record 14 3s in less than 3 quarters, and 60 in 3 quarters.
Top? Nah his prime is over
YEA IMO KLAY IS 1 OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAS A CHANCE TO GET 100💯🤷🏾♂️BUT IT WOULD BE LIKE THE WEIRDEST 100 EVER🤣🤣🤣30/50 FROM 3 WIT ZERO DRIBBLES TYPE SHII💯
Klay could hit 20 3s in a game and still not pass Kobe. He doesn’t get to the line enough like Dame can.
i don't think klay gets to the free throw line enough
@@younggoose7315 have you not been watching recently?
I've lived in Portland my whole life, been a Blazer fan my whole life, and I feel lucky to have watched Dame his whole pro career. He's an elite echelon player (probably top 15 in the league) and and uber-elite scorer (top 5) and I pray he finishes doing his thing in Portland. DAME TIME!
Same here big fan, I appreciate you differentiating the best overall players vs scorers. Defense matters folks.
Top 10*
how u live in portland and dont put any respect on brandon roy's name or damion stoudamire ?!?!?!
Great scorer but where's his defense though ☠️
Isn't Portland complete sh*t rn?
I really love these interviews so much. Thank you for consistently uploading bangers 🫡

Reddick is the smartest retired player analyst i ever came across. He is obviously a cut above the rest.
Fax, almost like Im listening to your mom
'' This kids gonna be a problem " - Kobe Bryant on Dames 1st game against him as a rookie.
Dames memory is unreal. It's like he's seeing the plays in his head as he's describing them. His eyes are twitching as he's recalling it. 😂
I remember when AI played for the Nuggets, he had 50 or close to 50 at the half, I figured he'd get 80+ that game but was running on fumes by the end of the third. Got to be pretty grueling from a conditioning standpoint to put up a hundred in a game. At some point, they are going to be doubling you as soon as you cross halfcourt so their team isn't remembered as the team/players who let you score that much
I remember watching that game on tv. He has 49 by the end of the third and finished with 51. He couldn’t miss but it looked like some people got tired of his shining that night.
I said the same thing , even at 70 , I felt weird being disappointed that he didn’t get more especially from how much he had at halftime
Kobe's 62 in 3 quarters was actually the game I thought he'd exceed 80. One other thing. Wilt said had Syracuse played him straight up, he would have scored 140! I listened to the 4th quarter of the 100-point game and the announcer said, "they're fouling Chamberlain and they're not calling it."
Btw Kobe didn’t play the 4th qt
Chamberlin purportedly could bench 500 lbs.😮
@@ericogden4589 i wudnt be surprised he dunked on a nba player n broke his arm
I always said it’s be Dame or Klay who breaks it in that era, I believe we will see it broken within our lifetime
We absolutely won’t. The closely we’ve seen was Kobe and that was like 20 years ago…. And he was still 20 points shy of breaking it.
Unless the game is broken it won’t happen.
Like Dame said, teams have too much pride to let it happen, if you manage to get to 70+ with time left, they're gonna start LETTING you find open teammates to prevent you setting some record on them.
Dames first person that he says can do it is steph and that’s a fact. I honestly think it’s probably only steph or kd
@@joshbonds0073not a fact but okay🤣

Thanks for always bringing the heat JJ& Tommy
This guy would be one of my favorite players ( if I still cared about the NBA) seems like a Real, good dude
Man I love hearing how comfortable players are talking about their thought process in-game with JJ Reddick. It takes a recently retired player who is liked by everyone and a podcast wave for this show to happen. Talking about stuff like Dame describing what it's like to have 40 at half time and how he's thinking about the coverage he sees, but doing that DURING the season he scored 70, not after his career is over looking back.
JJ Redick has always been one of my favorite players.It’s great to him in this format.
Great interview.
Subscribing!
When you are in that zone and you touch the ball. Ooooooh that feeling. Played Varsity HSBB and averaged 8/2/2 a game. Second to last game of my senior season, I couldn’t miss in warm-ups and it translated in game. 35/5/4 10-10 at the 3pt and a game I’ll never forget
Cap
@@zigguratdafoo😂
Yo dream game 😂
I agree someone definitely can especially with the lack of defense in the regular season nowadays it won’t happen in a playoff game tho 💯
So incredibly fortunate I got to see that game live. I love watching history unfold.
JJ, you rock man! The questions are awesome!
Klay has the best chance of anyone getting 100. 37 in a quarter, 60 in 3q. This man can get hotter thany anyone in history
Not with his injury
Have you seen him play recently?
@@badumtss3067 he's been still getting those moments this season lol
No
Klay can only hit threes lol
@@johnwalker1761 Actually if you look at the numbers, he's scoring in more different ways since his injury. He's posting up more, he dribbles more, he shoots midrange and layups and floaters... It's probably because when he was injured he could only do individual drills, his handle tightened and he worked on more different ways of scoring (mainly because three point jumpers are always the same motion and that's not what you want when rehabbing from an injury, you need different movement so the muscles and tendons in the injured area get back their strength all at the same time).
I think the first step in someone getting 100 just happened...You have to put the idea out there and into player's heads. One the idea is seeded, players will try to make runs at it. I believe someone will eventually get 100. Drazen Petrovic scored 112 points in a game.
And this the dude saying he "doesn't like what the NBA is becoming". Dude is a massive part of the problem. Glory ball to the absolute max.
Great conversation!
I can't see anyone scoring 100, it's just hard to imagine. However, I can see someone surpassing Kobe's 81 soon. It would be amazing, but I personally would hate to see it since he was my favorite player ever & I want that record to stick around forever. With how fast the game is played nowadays, & how rapid players are shooting 3's, it's bound to happen. This is one reason they need to NOT do a target score instead of multiple OT's, which rumors are that they're planning on doing that, instead of having the game go to multiple OT's. If that target score had already existed, Donovan Mitchell might not have gotten his 71. I'm not a fan of Adam Silver as the Commissioner, he's changing up too much of the NBA traditions. Play-in tournaments, Allstar Game, & all these other changes he's thinking about.
I can see 100. If Curry gets in his rhythm, and Klay, Wiggs, and JP are out, he could
target score sounds terrible.. buzzer beaters would lose its luster
@@holycrapdude123 Agreed! With a target score, there will be no more buzzer beater game winners in OT, just like there aren't anymore in the Allstar game.
Adam silver is a hollow man
@@No-xo1kx He would have to hit like 15 3pts (45pts), make like 20 plus 2pt shots (40pts), & hit like 15 freethrows (85pts + 15pts). Sounds pretty difficult imo.
6:03 kinda weird to leave out Donovan Mitchell and Devin Booker who have 71 and 70 point games respectively.
But Donovan’s went to double OT and Devin was purely scoring and nothing else, imagine Luka, steph, and Dame had a purely selfish game of just them scoring at will, they are the most of likely to score 100 in a game
@@SturdyJer Mitchell's game only went to single OT. In Book's game he took 46.5% of his teams shots; in Dame's game he took 49.3% of his teams shots.
jj redick wow never knew u were so talented in podcast u sound like a professional never would have thought u played ball if i didnt know u i would have thought this was ur talent. great job fr much respect
One of the best. Respect this man.
We need Embiid in Portland. Dame is the PG he needs.
Harden is a better PG though lol
@@SocietyIsTwisted Harden is my favorite player. But it just seems like he doesn’t want to win. He goes through the motions a lot to be as good as he is.
Klay has to be on the list just based on his ability to get red hot. I think you need a fair amount of free throws so points are being scored with no clock running. Embiid comes to mind. Harden is past prime on that.
Steve Kerr won’t allow that I’ve seen games were steph,Poole and wiggins gets hot and he just pulls them out the game lol
I personally watched this assassin drop 25 points in the 4th quarter against Boston the other night on an OFF NIGHT and almost brought us back. This guy is beyond legend.
Thanks for the insight dolla
I think it's possible at the tail-end of a season. It could be anyone, but I think it'd be a team effort to get the player to a 100. For sure, it can and will happen soon.
It could even be Brandon Jennings!
Well if Klay wasn't benched because they were too ahead he could've gotten to 100. He is on fire that night, 37 in one quarter / 60 in just three Q's
That was 2 different games. Klay only had 52 the night he dropped 37 in the quarter. The only quarter he shot well was that quarter.
That 60 pt game he definitely could’ve had 80
Kobe made this feat routine
@@kobeibryant4356 he never had close to 37 points in a quarter
@@kobeibryant4356 I love Kobe, but I don’t understand what he has to do with this conversation
@@Humanbodymentorshipacademy 2nd highest scoring game at 81 points, 6 times getting 60+ points and he’s the only player to score 30 in a quarter twice.
Hes so insightful
Getting to hear to game from the players perspective without any outside media is refreshing
You know the video is a banger when even the outro is funny 😂
In order to score 100, you have to have the following go your way: 1. Rest cause you need the stamina. 2. Lackisdasical defense in that you're not wearing yourself out on the other end 3. You must be hot for the 3-point line making at least 45 points in 3s. 4. Make your free throws 5. Coach and teammates have to recognize the moment early on and substitution patterns have to oblige to give you 44-48 minutes.
I think you’d need 2 OT to do it too. I’d also add you’d probably need to make 20 FreeThrows at least. Probably going to need 40-50 shot attempts which I think is absolutely insane
@@2PunchMid the shot attempts are needed IF you're not on fire from 3. Dame said he barely missed 6 3s. Let's say he made 4 of them. He would have had 83 points and surpassed Kobe. Kobe's 81 was not the game for him. It was the 62 3-quarter game. But the Lakers were well ahead. Jackson asked him if he wanted to return and he declined. But that game is the game Kobe would have exceeded 85. I think what's also needed is terrible defense or let's say unwilling defense.
Wilt didn’t even sleep the night before the game he scored 100 he was out with a woman
@@David-eh3ht Wilt was a unique athlete; perhaps the greatest athlete to ever play in the NBA.
Love dame Time!💙
There is so little wasted motion in hs shot. This generates so much power and less time spent on the fingertips means less time for the ball to be twisted/roll per se off the hand, changing the axis point at release. fingere basically act as leaf springs with different tensions that can change the way the ball comes off the hand. Id like to see the slow motion differences between Dame, Klay, Steph, even Ray Allen, JJ, Korver, and Reggie Miller. But Dames shot is literally so amazing to watch. His power and form he had during that 3-pt contest he won this year was ART!! Poetry in motion.
I agree with JJ that Steph and Lillard are the most likely current players to get to 100, but I'd take Luka out of the mix and throw in Booker. But like Lillard said, it would probably have to be an OT or double OT game. The game has changed so much to favor offense, and players are so overly focused on padding stats, that I think it's just a matter of time.
Dame always giving steph his flowers
Dame funny asf 😂😂
Dame has this lowkey respect for Curry… thought about him getting 100 points after he just dropped 71. I hope Dame gets his ring 💍 man💪🏾🤞🏾
i think the guy who scored 37 in one quarter has the best chance to cross 100
Lol maybe 4 years ago no disrespect
Well he still played 33 minute that game and had 52, dame played 6 more minutes and scored 19 more lol
Klove scored 34 that same year
Bro Harden scored 60 in just 29 mins. He would've had a 100 if he got to play the whole game

@@sixstreetrex Jokic mvp 😭😭, tel Giannis stop being scared of ladders 🪜 🪜🪜😭😭
We want Jokic interview...his and JJ's basketball knowledge would make hell of an conversation
Damone $ aka "The Truth". Mad respect for dame not because I am a bay gent, but because dame is just real. He relates to many people no matter your area code.
Kobe would have had more than 81 in that game where he scored 62 against the Mavs and Phil pulled him at the end of the third.
The sentence “I should have had 90” seems outrageous but he’s not wrong. 41 in the first half and a lot of shots that could have been made, especially from 3, some of them being so close.
Too many variables about his play after each of those shots. He likely plays differently or the defense plays differently if those were made. It sounds nice, but it's always a what if scenario. If everything else was unchanged, sure. But he also admitted the increment at each level above 40 points.
Down to earth guy.
“I didn’t have your volume of touches man” lol thatmwqs real but funny
there is one way that someone may get close to 90 to 100... is if the other star player on the other team is right there with him. So my guess is if it happens it will be a Steph vs Dame game where they are both going off and neither team wants to lose (rather than 'don't let this guy score a lot'). Historically, in track some of the greatest record occurred when the #2 runner was literally the 2nd greatest of all time... forcing the greatest one to run faster than he/she would have by themselves.
The craziest part is, I would not be surprised if I went on r/nba one morning and the top post was "Dame drops 90".
Shooting and knowing it’s gonna be a swish is crazy . Not knowing you’re going to make it but knowing it’s gonna be a swish is a different level of that zone hoopers get in
JJ you need to get 🐜 on the show. Talk to him about his playoff experience last year against the grizzlies and how he he grew and learned from that. Look at his stats from they series and how it’s correlated to this year. He’s averaging about the same numbers. If he made that leap I can only hope he’s going to put up even better numbers this playoffs. Dude is still 21 years old and everyone sleeps on him. He just dropped another 32 in Atlanta 2 days ago. This kid is special JJ 🐜🐺🍗
Naah JJ is the real media I love hearing from the guys that actually played in the league. Gotta get Dbook on here
Mamba did it without the regulations we have today, Kobe would most definitely get close to 90 in todays NBA, would be amazing to see someone pull 100
MY favorite player ever
Bro JJ Dame is just like you, he will literally rattle off the sequence of plays leading up to his action.
Homie is a stone cold killer for being able to rationalize a 90 pt game for himself.
Portland's actually a really nice place to live and the fanbase is diehard. It's amazing to me that no stars want to play with Dame over there
Guys aren't looking to settle down, they want to win, no one thinks they will win in Portland.
@@coredaqqer6197 no one said settle that doesn't even make sense. If 2 all star type guys went to Portland they'd become a top 5 seed fighting to make it far in the west. I don't get why no one would want to play with Dame the dudes a killer
@@matthewchristopher16 You said a really nice place to live, majority of nba players are not looking to settle on one team. Not to mention, Portland is a small market team that really can’t attract nor afford 2 more all star players. Not to mention, Dame is one of the highest paid players in the league.
Also, Dame has been in portland and i get his value for loyalty but he will be the only reason he doesn’t win a ring, he’s been surrounded with solid rosters in his career they’ve just never won. He should’ve gotten moved a while ago and still should be but Portland isn’t willing to do so.
@@coredaqqer6197 any player who signs anywhere wants it to be a nice place to live, you're getting way too specific and critical about this lmao point is that team is 2 stars away from competing and they haven't been able to provide. They'd win if they just went simple as that
@Matt LaJoy Far from true, I'm sure if you ask most players where they'd rather be at any level of basketball, it'd be where they can win or play. I agree that team is a few stars away, but ego really is the worst enemy of the NBA player, lots of guys don't want to take the payout they'd have to to play with dame.
Him, Steph, Kd, Spida can all crack 100…
Klay too😂
I think Book can on a good day too. Doncic as well
Kd can’t anymore
Kyrie
Jokic can do it and have another triple double as well.
@@willn8664 Jokic scoring 100? No
Fucken love JJ
JJ is a thinker and a understander. When he asked about 77 play, he just needed to know😮💨😮💨😮💨
This might be a hot take, but I think Klay Thompson has the greatest chance of scoring 100. When he get's hot he doesn't miss and doesn't need to dribble as much as other guards. we also can't forget he had 37 in a quarter or 60 in a game on just a few dribbles. If Kerr lets him go off I'd say he has the greatest chance.
Klay could do it too. When he gets in nuclear mode he is unstoppable, especially with Steph on the court pulling defenders away. Klay had 37 in a quarter!
My favorite player!
Dame is as solid as it gets!
Luka is def gonna get 70 one day
for sure
love seeing this real ball talk!! Def has to be a guard for 100
Good conversation
These are great.
JJ. I was going to find another video but you kept asking great damn questions… had me like hmm yeah why did you do that?
5:53 I’m a sixers fan. I agree with those 3 and would love to see dame and steph get to 100. I thought of Tatum but then realized he’s not a guard. Love when you have dame on here
I think only steph and kd can put up 100 dame and klay can for sure put 80 something
5:00 “i shoulda had 90” it’s crazy how no one is doubting him either
That's so sick to think about, and I had never even thought about his 71pt game like that, but it makes sense. Damn.. Damian legit could've had 80-90 if he had just been a little luckier.
Imagine if you had that DEN-DET 3OT game a little while ago, but a player like Dame/Steph/Luka (I agree with JJ its gotta be a guard with a good 3pt shot, maybe Durant almost sneaks in but his window is closing) was on one team and hot, but the other team was keeping up with their scoring. For sure, 100pts is possible, it's just extremely unlikely. You need so many things to go right. You need the other team to have real bad defense, but be good enough on offense to not get blown out by you so it goes to at least one OT and preferably 2 or 3 AND you need that player to play one of the best games of his life as well. Shooting well above his average the whole night.
When he says “I should’ve had 90’ I believe him
0:37.. lol. Dame really knows his shot timing. I wonder if he has his release on very early, early, late, or very late? I may have to switch my base to his as well.
Dame so humble man a humble beast like Booker, he definitely couldve have 90 if those shots went in, I want him to win and get at least one chip
He recalls the plays like Magnus Carlsen recalls past games
Respect for dame showing love to Steph in the end
Dame time! 💪🏼
I thought the same thing as dame. As soon as I saw him make like 3 deep buckets with ease, I was like, "Oh yeah, he going for 60 tonight"
I hope future generations doing forget this dude, I know our generation has already forgotten plenty of elite scorers with no playoff success or mvps in the past but dame is different, just happened to play alongside so much other talent
Funny to hear him say that about not knowing how many he had at the end, and thinking he should have had 90.. When Larry Bird went for the Celtics record, that McHale just took 9 days earlier, he I was exact!y how many he had and told Kevin he was getting 60. Now Dame is a killa, straight up and down, but I think that just shows, granted it isn't by much, But Larry was the killa-est. Love for all these legends doin their thing!!!
Take a shot everytime dame says "Like"
100 pts will never be broken or anywhere close
Dan going for 90-101 now, I could see him actually trying to get to that milestone.
Salute a real on
Man I was like no way u don’t have KD on that list
But then he said it has to be a guard & it actually does make sense
Dame is the greatest
it's crazy how the mind always remembers the mistakes more than the successes
