Cam Johnson On Learning From Phoenix and Book, Team USA and The FIBA World Cup, The Nets and More
Спорт
Our guest this week is our neighbor on The Brooklyn Nets, Cam Johnson. It's not typical that such a young player has so much insight into the NBA. We're pumped for this episode so let's get into it. Topics include: The UNC North Carolina vs. Duke rivalry, Team USA's loss in the FIBA World Cup, what he learned from Monty WIlliams and why he thinks The Detroit Pistons will shine under him, an in depth conversation about intricacies of shooting a basketball, when he realized Devin Booker is the real deal, what he expects from Mikal Bridges, Ben Simmons and The Brooklyn Nets this season and so much more.

Sheesh. This dude is going to call NBA games for ESPN or TNT when he's done playing. He has a really smooth and clean delivery.

Preach!! This is next level ish.
Normally when fans think of high IQ players, they picture someone with a lot of assists or low turnovers. Listening to Cam speak completely changes my perspective on that stereotype. Genuinely one of the most intelligent and well-spoken guests you've ever had on the pod

I didn't know Cam is this well-spoken. He can have his own pod or be an analyst on TV. Way better basketball IQ and perspective than most "analysts" we have today. Bravo Cam!
Obviously all guys in the NBA have a deep understanding of the game, but Cam might be one of the true basketball savants in the league. Listening to him break down ball is incredible

Hearing Cam's perspective of his buzzer beater game against NY was so satisfying as a Suns fan. Happy to see him and Mikal thriving in Brooklyn 🙏
Man Cam is one of my all time favorite Tar Heels. Dude was so underrated for us and I was so happy to see him thrive in the NBA. Such a down to earth guy that is impossible to root against.
This podcast episode did not last long enough felt like I could listen you two forever 😭😭😭
as a long time suns fan, i actually became a cam stan simply for his personality and 3s lol but he’s so smart, such a nice human, and a crazy talented nba player who i think is still extremely underrated. the only trade i actually cried about was the twins but i cried specifically about losing cam, once my favorite sun. love love love this episode, thank you
It is so pleasing to listen to Cam in this podcast. Such a revelation. I enjoyed listening to this podcast.
Can we get a follow-up interview with Cam's parents providing parenthood tips? I could listen to Cam all day, what a well-spoken young man.
LOVE this Podcast... LOVE JJ and Tommy and now Cam is one of my fave players to follow! Love how these podcasts have provided fans a way to see players off the court and listen to what they have to say. Cam obviously has a high basketball IQ but most of all, comes across as a genuine good person and very well spoken...
No idea how he is as a person, but I LOVE the energy he brought. You can clearly feel that he loves basketball, wants to win to the point where it's clearly unhealthy, and he likes the game so much he has to hold himself back from exerting his basketball energy from being socially unacceptable. Zero pretension.
I've loved Cam and never been able to put my finger on why but listening to this kid's technical ball knowledge has taken it up multiple notches. I wish him all the best for the forthcoming season!
This dude is one of the big reasons the Suns made the finals in 2021. Good on both sides of the ball and a microwave, happy to see him shine further in Brooklyn

This has become my favorite podcast quickly, great analysis every time JJ keep it up💪🏾💯
Will forever miss this guy on the Suns
I didn't even know who he was before listening to this podcast but I'm sooo impressed with Cam Johnson's knowledge and maturity through this interview. Rooting for him wherever he lands in his career!!
Great episode. Love the high level basketball discussion. JJ really changed the game with this style and bringing the NBA experience to the conversation
this is an absolutely incredible episode from start to finish man. love this podcast 🔥🔥🔥
As a nets fan since 99 I’m hoping him and Bridges take us over the top in the next few years with some added talent. The potential is through the roof. #NETSNATION

The twins got there heads screwed on. Straight ! Not to mention there always available , I think there culture an talent is gonna be huge for this team moving forward !!!
Wish there would’ve been more nets talk as a nets fan, excited for him coming into the season. Great as always!
Easily one of my fav episodes from the show, Cam is great
This was a great listen. Cam is super smart. One of my favorite episodes!
Cam is just so impressive. he has the demeanor of a future coach. After being consumed with diva-like players from the nba year round who go on and on about their brand and how "the world/media is out to get em", I appreciate a true basketball guy.
Waow ! Cam is so fascinating and passionate ! Wish him a breakout season, he is a strudent of the game that will ahve a loooong career
One of my favorite episodes and now I want Cam on the Thunder.
love this dude, happy to have him on my Nets
One of my favorite players now. Love how Cam views the game
cam johnson is one of those guys that almost every team in the nba would love to start but for some reason he's always stuck on rosters that don't utilize him to his max potential
Cam's easy to listen to and he's well-spoken! Enjoyed listening to this while working. Props!
Freakin love this. Cam is amazing! My favorite player!
Really enjoyed this episode, great knowledge👍🏾.
Best hoops podcast out there and this episode is just another example. Know you have given love to the work done by Pacer's own Caitlin Cooper before...as a small market fan who is really excited about this Indiana team..just throwing it out there that I would absolutely love to see Cooper sit down and talk Pacer's outlook going into this season with JJ and TA.
I have never really heard Cam speak, so I find this episode really cool. Definitely got a new fan, and I cant wait to see where that Brooklyn team goes next year.
I usually enjoy your shows JJ but this one was great. Even though you got plenty of vitriol for your cockiness in college and all that nobody sees the preparation you put in, etc. So hearing you and Cam talk from the cerebral perspective was enriching. I liked you more as a pro then I did in college. This was an awesome interview to hear you both get technical and talk about so much more of the mental aspect of the game. It is inherent in sports or other physical activity, military, etc., for you to think through movements and building muscle memory and still have the ability for independent thought and improvisation.
This could be my favorite podcast of Redick with an NBA player. Two brilliant dudes. I went to Chapel Hill by the way, but I love so many ACC players. I am big Redick, Grant Hill, Battier, Zion fan through the years. Love (obviously) Jordan, Vince, Cam, Stackhouse, etc as well.

To me this my favorite JJ pod to date. Big ups too Cam, love the way he breaks the game down!
Suns fan and listening to him and bridges. I just feel like we missed a lot of love. Obviously the suns are gonna be good but it is so much less fun because it came through trades. I’m not mad at what the suns did but the if we won with cam and mikal would be so much more fun than winning with Durant. Again I don’t hate anybody but still I really like Cam and Mikal

It might be a trivia question. If you win the Finals next year, would that be the first team to win a championship without having a single drafted player in their starting five? I can't think of one off the top of my head, definitely not in the last forty odd years.

Great interview as usual. The discussion on shooting was above and beyond, though.
Spectacular listen. I want Cam on my team after hearing him.
I can see Cam being in the media in the future for sure
I miss Cam in Phoenix. His dunk on PJ Tucker was legendary.
this guy is fantastic to listen to, hes so clear and concise about what hes saying.. serious word economy just right off the top of the head. fantastic ep, my brain hurts
Cam Johnson is a future NBA players' association president
Could listen to this man all day. Respect
Whoa! For all of you basketball folks who loves real talk...this show is it. It's like a library of basketball knowledge. FUN, FUN! Cam, you should be a writer someday, you are so smart with much respect to your job. You remind me of Grant Hill in many ways..good company to be in. Next, referring to FIBA play, I think it would be smart to consider hiring a well known FIBA assistant coach during the 6 wks of USA training. Working along side with USA head coach. Great work. I live in your world 🏀

🔥🔥🔥 episode keep em comin
Really enjoyed this episode👏👏
Man you guys find such great young players to interview we need a Sam da goat Presti and maybe shai,,, I don’t think I have seen a full podcast from shai. Great interview that bit with the shooting wow😊
Seems like the common denominator in producing a great player and/or team is the ability to keep learning, disciplined practice and knowledgeable coaching. Listening to Cam, JJ, Iman Shumbert, Rashon Rondo, Dion Sanders and others is such a pleasure when they talk about a kind of personal code of conduct that allows them to master their craft on the road to being winners.
Obst from German team is an amazing shooter, who by the way delivers during critical matches and moments. I cannot understand how he was not recruited up to now to a top level NBA team.
Didn’t know much about Cam before this. Now I’m a big fan.

Very cool to hear from Cam
Man this is the best podcast of you love basketball
I remember when twitter was calling the Suns toxic, but in reality we had the most wholesome team in the league. Ok I'll give you Chris Paul and Jae Crowder, but Mikal, DA, both Cams, Jock, Baynes, Jevon, Saric, Frank, Monty, Ish, Book, Torrey, etc... all *extremely* wholesome dudes. Loved those teams.
Well-spoken, interesting dude. And JJ is just world class
Cam speaks really well for a young guy
Why did Evan Turners name randomly pop up at 4:51 ? 😂
Cam has amazing analytical mind and master level of verbal skills
A bunch of dudes fell in love with this guy during this podcast.
As a Pistons fan I appreciate the quick discussion about Cade and Jalen Duren.
Can you talk about what the summer is like for a pro? Is it mostly individual workouts? Since coaches are limited in the amount of time they can spend with players, how can a coach implement what they want in the short duration that is training camp?
Cam is the ultimate professional. Miss him and Mikal in Phx
Deep..I need a shooters roundtable talk and you can do so many parts because there are so many great shooters it good to hear there perspective on the exact thing they were all good at but different ways to get there
Cam is 🐐
Pitt fan here that loves Cam Johnson and I still claim him as a pitt guy whenever I can. Such an impressive and likeable guy.
We need a part 2 with Cam.
LMAO Chris Paul admitted he hated JJ Redick in college.
Lol I’m 35 I remember being pretty young watching jj Duke days one of the best college ballers all time
As a shooter, this is a gem. Preciate the wisdom
Future commentator... him and CJ would be a real nice duo.
Cam is the GOAT 🔥🔥🔥
great player and very well spoken
Damn great episode, cam is really eloquent
i’m rooting for Cam now
miss my boy cam in phx always wish him well :)
loved this. wish they spoke about the Nets a little more though 😂
Cam I want you to know although some Pitt fans disowned you, Pittsburgh has not! Love ya buddy, good luck this year 🖤💛🏀🤟✌️
Thats the game I really remembered from Cam before he came to Brooklyn. He torched the Knicks that day.
Cam one of the best shooters in the NBA 💯
Brooklyn stand up !
I didn’t realize Cam was this good at speaking like very well spoken
no one will believe me but Cam was my fav phx sun for a minute. sucks he’s not a sun anymore
