I feel like Kyle isn't appreciated as much as he should be, dude's one of the best sharpshooters in the whole league he's not no slouch dude can ball.
Never forget, He got traded for a printer.
@@PeteringYT and a fresh pack of pens
Never forgot this american sniper, My favorite player next to jimmy buckets.
He's got the record for single season 3pt Percentage.
I feel like he’s respected where I’m from at least chicago fan here thibodeau used him boobooly but me and the homies know he’s one of the ones
The way JJ and Kyle would the catch on the run and shoot in stride was a thing of beauty. Not many great shooters mastered that shot
Then they not great lmao
Chris Mullin and Peja Stojakovic had that full speed pull up 3 also. A thing of beauty.
@@nickth3many lmao they are absolutely great shooters. Some of the best in the history of the game
@@HoodNinjaichi peja was ridiculous at one point like he was a sniper hes one of the most underrated shooters people never really bring him up
@@mdhcccc he's not talking about JJ and Kyle. The "great" shooters who haven't master it is who he's talking about.
"Yo Korver play some defense!" LOL! It was probably me. Love my city!
If only Korver stayed 1 more year on the Bucks he would've been an NBA champion.

@@Faerghast no me
Didn’t his twin or brother pass away ? Isn’t that way he wasn’t on the team
Didn’t he win 1 in Cleveland
Swear when them older dudes show faith in u as a youngin that's all u need.
Yup, I love how AI still supports the young guys today. Such a beast.
💯
imagine if kobe and jordan did this for kwame
It stays engraved in your head. Especially when its someone you look up to. I think about my dad and things he would tell me when i was younger. "Dont fold under pressure. Cool calm and collected."
Absolutely
Allen iverson will forever be the answer
rip to Kyle LITTLE BROTHER THAT PASS WHILE BACK.
Most people don’t even remember this smh big ups to you bro
UMKC
I smoke I swear we watch all the same videos trip out in the comment section for my name you’ll start seeing it
Hope he wasn't sacrificed.
@@jamesevans6271 why wait tell the end of his career to sacrifice doesn’t make sense lol wow can’t believe where this convos going ????
Allen Iverson is my favorite player of all time. A smaller guard compared to the rest of the league but he’s so damn tough and relentless. He had so much heart and determination and not to mention how he changed the NBA.
I think it was Gilbert Arenas who gave my favorite description about Iverson's game in terms of defending him. He's that guy in the rec center who plays with a can or two of energy drinks. But Iverson is playing like that for 40 minutes a night and that is VERY difficult to keep up guarding him with the same energy. I don't think we've seen a guy like that even in the modern NBA. And Iverson in his prime I think averaged at least 40 mpg with a few seasons in a row going over 40 mpg.
My Fav too top 5 all of time player
I notice that while some members of the media shoot Iverson down, it's almost a unanimous air of respect and props from actual NBA players.
This proves to me that respect from your peers and actual professionals really says it all.
People in the trenches have to lose their egos to survive. So, in that sort of an environment talent and ability speak for themselves. Your social background can't make you a great NBA player.
Meanwhile, the media mostly consists of yuppies who would normally thumb their noses up at someone like AI in normal society. They would erroneously assume that they're better humans than he is.
Exactly
@@beedebawng2556 spot on 👌🏻
I haven’t heard or read any of AI’s teammates ever say anything bad about him.
Its a lot like westbrook hate...
Two of the games greatest shooters, and you'd never know looking at them right there lmao
And that is not the case, not even top 10
@@JamesEarlBonez like he said 2 of the games greatest shooters
@@JamesEarlBonez as if 11th best shooter wouldn’t also be one of the greatest
@@JamesEarlBonez you don't think Kyle Korver 5th all time on the all time three list isn't a top 10 shooter all time?
@@JamesEarlBonez Where do you rank on the best shooters of all time list? Probably lower than these two guys haha
As a Philly fan, Korver was a true OG for the 3. Very underrated player.. Wish we could've brought him back, Iguodala, and Lou Will
I genuinely share those sentiments however it’s more like I wish they woulda WANTED to come back. The opportunity was there imo smh
Not gone lie, Philly would've been instant champ contenders with this lineup
@@DMac-vj7bi if they were all primed? For SURE🤦🏾♂️ smh
@@avenueq Iggy still ended up being an all star in Philly, and went to 7 NBA finals, winning four of them.. oh and he’s an Olympic gold medalist too
You could make a case he could be an Hall of Famer
You rarely hear from Kyle but when you do, it’s always very articulate and humble. I love the fact that he ALWAYS gives A.I the credit he deserves
if AI just looked at me my confidence would increase 100%
unless I was on the other team
If you're on the other team your ankle has 0 confidnce.
Dude hit 2.8 threes per game in 2004. That's nutty given the era. Ray Allen at his peak was hitting like 3 a game
And that was considered a 3pt specialist
3/4 2/3 not 3 out 9/ 2 out of 8
And Ray Allen was a legendary scorer before he became a legendary marksman
@@Mr.Pop0 Kyle korver could never touch Ray game wise. Ray Allen top 5 best SG ever fact
@@RexT3rra ray allen isn’t a top 5 sg
mj, kobe, dwade, AI, harden all better and that’s just the few off the top of my head
Ray Allen wasn't even a primarily 3-ball guy until he hit his late 20s? He was an slasher who had as sweet shooting stroke who could extend it to the 3-point line. But past his 30s when his athleticism left him, his 3-ball became a more important weapon for a specialized role.
Met Kyle at a private practice at Villanova back when he was a rookie. To see where he's at now is so incredibly awesome. JJ, your interviews are consistently the best. Keep it up!
For all the fuss about 'practice' AI is low-key one of the best superstars as a teammate and a human being. You never hear a teammate say anything bad about him. Much respect.
A lot of ppl don't know at the time of the "practice rant " his best friend died . The media here did him dirty
@@williefaulker Exactly
Bo Jackson was the same way. F practice. But brought it every day in game in both sports. Football and baseball.
@@williefaulker thank you
You’ll never hear a teammate speak ill of AI.
AI and Wayne Gretzky are the only two athletes I’ve ever seen who show love for absolutely everyone 100% of the time. They both truly see their sport as an eternal brotherhood.
That says alot about Gretzky. I never knew that about him
Fun Fact: Kyle Korver made the All star team as a Hawk when the Hawks got like 4 players selected as Dwayne Wade's replacement.
tf?
@@lolstfu2950 Fun Fact: Kyle korver made the all star team as a replacement for dwayne wade, which made him the 4th Hawks player on that all star team alongside Horford, Millsap, and Teague
Whats more fun was when the Hawks announcer would go "Kyle Korver for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
He is also one of two people currently ranked top 10 in both career 3-Pt Field Goals made + career percentage. The other one is Steoh Curry
@@lolstfu2950 he said “ Fun Fact: Korver made the All star team as a Hawk when the Hawks got like 4 players selected as Dwayne Wade’s replacement.
When Korver was on the Bucks, he came to the restaurant I work at a couple times. Super nice and super humble dude. Glad to hear how he got that swagger he had when shooting.
Loved Korver in Milwaukee, saw him walking down the street tipsy and let him hit my blunt made his day.
@@drvpgvng that might be the most Milwaukee thing I've ever heard 😭
I've heard this about him too. Nice guy, good tipper, funny dude.
@@rileydotson6151 did he mention Milwaukee or at least Giannis in this pod?
@@omb3d80 I didn't hear it. But sharing a blunt with and NBA player seems like a very Milwaukee thing
Man I love AI. He show love to everybody. He one of the oldheads that don't look at the young players like some of these oldheads do. Never hates, just spreads love.
He was most hated! He cant do nothin but show love to everybody AFTER him who looked UP to him
he shows his emotions, probably the best at giving flowers
The reason he relates to players so well because when he came in he was the young pup getting hated on, and criticized
TRUTH
My friend that passed away and I always talked about how great Kyle Korver was!!!! He played basketball his whole life so i trusted what he said!! We got to see Allen Iverson hit a game winner vs Denver Nuggets, we were super lucky!
@Versatile Wolf NWO He's really excited!!!! For some reason!! I don't know why!
Remember when he was in Chicago he was given then nickname hot sauce for his 3 point shot. dude had a streak of 127 3 point shots which is unbelievable to me what a record. He was loved here in Chicago. This guy kyle korver one of the reasons why derrick rose shoots the ball better today. He taught rose shooting mechanics during bulls practices. Today rose is shooting the ball better than ever cause of kyle. Korver’s IQ to the game and shooting was too good such a smart player he was too. Met him in person here in Chicago during the 2011 season and he’s such a nice guy very humble. He was a true professional sharpshooter. He is one of those players that can fit in any system . He’s played with alot great stars . Very chill cool guy off the court as well
GIMME THE HOT SAUCE!!!
@@NotGoodAtFantssy now stacey king can’t stop saying it today everytime someone hits a three . Korver started it all . Gimme the hot sauce ! Lol
Looks like Rise is passing on that knowledge to the young Knicks.
@@Hforoooo thats what i meant i knew that . Oops forgot to put “games” on there i was typing too quick . We all make mistakes. Relax now
@@lu7713 gotcha
Kyle so humble he literally top 3 in consistent 3pt. Shooters of all time
Not just in the finals tho
Kyle Korver is my favorite player of all time,i fell in love of the game because of him and i wear 26 to honor him
@@coleveeder117 Ironically you look gay...lol
One thing about philly fans is if you play here and get it you’ll have fans for your career. We remember the good ones and we will always show love, even if your on another team
No question about it. Lou Will, Iguodala, Roco, and Dario still get love here
Facts! #215
First nba game I went to was Dallas vs Philly and korver lit the mavs up all night. Him and Iverson went off and the game went into double overtime and almost went into triple overtime. Luckily Dirk is a legend and manged to get the win. I always knew korver could hoop after that. Still the best game I've ever seen live.
Wasn’t expecting the Jim O’Brien love! Agree that he was ahead of the curve in leveraging the three point line both in transition and half court.
Had a homie draw my nostrils into a snap back hat wit the brim lol 7th grade
Shout-outs to all the people who in the 90's and 2000's did little things to change the game to what it is today.
Im from Philly. Lifelong Sixers fan. I was an intern with the Sixers Kyle first season. Iverson and Korver had great chemistry on the court from game 1. Also my junior high friend John Salmons got drafted to the Sixers the same year
My ex went to Plymouth Whitemarsh and graduated with Salmons. But Spurs drafted him and traded him to the Sixers on draft night
Kyle’s all star season on the hawks was one of my favorite seasons a player has had. Folks in Georgia were obsessed with this man. They would go to games just to see him. Kyle is my favorite shooter ever
It’s crazy seeing JJ And Kyle sitting together
damn that view is sick ..
And AI is the goat!!
Two amazing shooters chopping it up. I know there's a whole lot of respect for each other between them
Two older gun slingers at the ok corral
Kyle, Melo and Klay my Top 3 favorite shooting strokes. Their form just looks so good that whenever you see it fly, you just know it's going in.
i swear
Ray Allen was water too
Kyle stroke was icy
Dirk had a great form too he would average 40 in this era of high volume 3 pointers
Going back a bit. Walter Davis and Mark Price too.
I can tell Allen Iverson always liked Kyle Korver, I remember that Sixers team Korver used to follow AI like a magnet ready to hit the 3
Look at Iverson man.... So inspirational...
My favorite thing about AI is that when the players talk about him his legend jus grows even more.
You never hear anything bad about him so it’s refreshing
One of my favorite interviews from this podcast.
I really love Kyle showing love to Jim O'Brien. I actually didn't know him at all until this interview, but that's what I love about it. Kyle lifting up a not often talked about coach because he played a major role in his life and hoop career. Very dope.
Coached Indy and my Celtics, not exactly a nobody
They ruined the 76ers team when they fired him
Confidence is insanely important in everything
Korver was one of my favorite shooter back in the day
The media and David stern would have you think he’s a terrible teammate, but never once had I ever heard a teammate say that .. shout-out to korver Philly still got love for you .
I always loved the way Kyle Korver was a compliment to AI.
It was fun having Kyle in Atlanta for that stretch with Johnson and Crawford. Fun shooting team to watch.
Jamal and Joe were gone by the time Korver got there. What are you talking about
This guy was good in dude where's my car.
Looks like he's preparing for his new movie role. He was an NBA player but making millions didn't make his demons go away. From a rising star to being homeless and battling addiction. Coming this Christmas "The unforgotten" starting Kyle Korver
Lol
Underrated
Loved Korver, the city loved him! Philly loved Redick as well. Much love to you guys.
I attended a 76’s game in Utah in 2005. When I saw how tight Korver and AI were, I knew then there was something special about Korver (when I was 24 yrs old) and committed to watch his game from that night forth. Korver, much love from the beginning man!! And thanks for your example of keeping integrity and commitment to God in the midst of stardom!
Jj and Kyle off ball screen for a three is deadly
Factual
Nice! Kyle definitely one of my favorites! Can't wait for the full pod for this. Meeting of the two sharpshooters
If A.I was a rookie in the current NBA he would easily average 35 to 40 a night. Good to here positive stories about A.I.
Wow what a view from that window.. imagine that.. waking up to the Brooklyn bridge and the New York skyline..
According 2 Allen Iverson Coach Larry Brown really understood his drive plus determination on the court & a little off the court winding down in his own space
Kyle Korver was one of the best shooters in the game. It's too bad he never won a championship. I recall him having amazing shooting nights when he played for the Atlanta Hawks. He'd come in and make multiple three-point shooters. The problem was, most coaches didn't utilize him and they certainly didn't believe in him. It's insane to have a 3-point shooter like Kyle and you don't set plays so he can make 5-6 shots from the arc a night.
Thanks for all those good memories when you were in a Bulls uniform..
I know Im gonna love this full pod once it comes out. Also 300K subs lets gooo 🎉 best basketball pod out there
Redick and Korver were so similar in their playing style.
the word you're looking for is white
@@DKlee828 That's not what he meant, there weren't a lot of three point shooters in their prime.
@@DKlee828 what does race got to do with anything 🤦🏻
Same thing I thought
@@IcemanFabian jesus kids these days are so soft and can't take a joke 😂
Two of my favorite shooters of all time! What a treat!
Awesome to hear from Kyle, sharpshooting legend with some really interesting thoughts
I got so much love for Korver! One of my well respected NBA players I've ever witnessed, watched and grew up to
Congrats on the 300k y’all earned it
I remember when Korver was in the 3-pt contest. AI was there hyping him up and cheering. It was dope.
Been waiting on these two guys to sit down and talk hoops, hear some of the relatable stuff come out between them that are insights we might not know.
Two of my favorite 3pt snipers of all time. Love to see it
Exactly. Two of my favorite snipers plus JJ always bringing good vibes.
I forgot this young gangster played with AI mane much love for Korver he was a championship player jus Needed that right roster!!! In his hay day he would have beeen clutch for a playoff team dam wish he could still be here with that shot!!
Kyle Korver!!!! 🔥 these nba podcasts are fire. I’ll watch any nba player interview.
We love you, Kyle! The Ashton Kutcher of the Jazz. Few could shoot it like you, in the history of the NBA. Thanks for all you did here in Utah!
As soon as I saw this I was fangirling so hard, I loved Kyle in Chicago
*_GIMME THE HOT SAUCE_*
Definitely can’t wait to watch this episode
Saw Kyle shooting in a local Philadelphia neighborhood a while back with a couple of kids. Real down to earth guy
Kyle and JJ is legendary
Another great video JJ... It's my new favorite channel
Kyle will always be one my all time favorite Atlanta Hawks players. Just a really cerebral player during his career.
I remember when the Four Seasons hotel was on the parkway in Philadelphia and NBA Teams stayed there,the players would come out from the side of it to get on the bus and people would be there to get autographs there was a guy that was 20 years old that had a picture of him as a 5 year old and Kyle Korver and he had it autographed by him it was cool,Kyle was laughing
“No other shooters on the team” thanks for saying that
I can listen to Kyle speak all day. Very well spoken person.
So many great moments with Korver and AI. It was a very fun team to watch and root for.
The media and league put so much effort in discrediting AI and painting a different picture of him as selfish. I'll never forget how AI put his small skinny frame against 2s and 3s to set screens for young Kyle.
I like these interviews. Cool perspectives that we don't normally get.
We know Iverson was the greatest!
Didn't win a chip but he did carry his team to the eastern conference finals he will still be remember for the crossover he had on Tyrone lie with the braids against the lakers
Pointless to comment this, you low key sneak dissing with that “Didn’t win a chip” statement, since everyone knows that. That’s why your hair follicles died 🤝
Shooting star.
Rachel Nichols always calls AI "Our Greatest Living American"
I was so excited when 76ers ended up with Korver! Some of my favorite games was with him and both ai's
Iverson changed the culture of the game. I've grown up watching him doing unbelievable things. Senegal, West Africa.
Love that background of the city where Kyle is sitting.
Love this.
Wow this the longest that I heard Korver speak!
We definitely knew that we had something special when Kyle korver came to us. The first few seconds of the interview he said that nobody else could shoot on the team.. and makes us 76ers long time fans that much more pissed and better about the front office. We all knew that they weren't surrounding Iverson with the tools to succeed but this and many other things confirms are suspicions. I believe he still should have had at least three trophies and it's unfortunate that he didn't but his impact on the game and the culture of the game is of legendary status!
Good stuff Kyle seems like a good brother. I like the AI bit, you never know how talented these guys are outside of athletics.
Much respect to Kyle Korver
We need more Kyle Korver, should of asked him about his days on the bulls
Great video
Kyle & JJ! Two of the very best 3pt shooters ever!
They make the Brooklyn Bridge looks good!
Every time I hear Kyle Korver’s name I hear LeBron in my head saying “Go get Kyle!”
@Floater 24 🍆
Kyle Korver had a great understated NBA career, very similar to JJ
A.I was my all time favorite and to this day hurt's how NBA did him wrong and he newer gets price he definitely more than deserve!
It feels like jj is just talking to his older self in korver. This interview is truly surreal
That spot is Brooklyn looking at Manhattan right? JJ Condo? What an incredible view.
Korver was and is currently mad humble .
This is the segment right here man!
Great clip and question.
That transition three discussion totally showcases how fast break offenses have changed in the past 10 years.
