Melo was one of the only national voices actually giving the Celtics some respect.
Melo’s one of the coolest looks into a baller’s mental. Such a calm demeanor and relatable way of speaking. The dynamic with him and Mero is so NYC.

It's crazy because the celtics and knicks have a historic rivalry in the NBA, yet NY podcasters including the great Melo and others are some of the very few media heads that promote and respect the celtic players outside of Boston. Our guys don't get appreciated much outside of New England. Respect to you guys in New York from Boston. 💚

13 reasons why majority of People absolutely hate Jayson Tabum: (no particular order) 1. Acts like he the MVP and only guy on the team✅ 2. Oftentimes Inconsistent; horrible efficiency✅ 3.Played for Duke & CeltiKKKs✅ 4. Corniest guy in sports✅ 5. Try-hard attention seeker✅ 6. Got carried by his superteam✅ 7. Chokes at crucial moments✅ 8. Mickeymouse ring✅ 9. Awkward personality; not marketable✅ 10. Kobe Meat Schlurper/wannabe kobe✅ 11. His fanbase overrates him like he’s the second coming of Jordan (never will be even top 75)✅ 12. Protected by Boston Propagandists Media✅ 13. Plays for the most racists and obnoxious fanbase in Sports✅ Feel free to Add & Spread the word💯💯
Its a MUST that JT & JB stick together as teammates/friends no matter what ,if they can tough it out throughout all the bullshit that comes with playing in the NBA ,I can see them winning atleast three or four more chips together fasho!

This right here will be the death of sports media and i love it. Players lock in with each other and lock into hip hop culture entertainment and just interview and speak among they own.
24:18 Idk why I thought it was hilarious when Melo said, “I take my hat off…” while wearing a hat… that he didn’t actually take off. I know it’s a figure of speech, so don’t come after me. It just made me laugh a bit lol Great freakin interview!
This podcast slaps hard like it's so entertaining to listen to players' perspective on things besides watching them hoop. Like damn, NBA coulda capitalized with this kinda format but good for yall to make it yer own. Hope yall keep making shows for the next season or so, this is loads better than listening to mainstream takes 💯💯

I'm from Brooklyn same sentiment I love the heart Knicks play with but #Celtics is next level type of play and everybody thinking because KP out for 6 months they going laydown. I'm willing to presume they get deeper finding other ways to win because #Mazzulla has become a DAWG! #7uice going to be an even better defender and #JT0 shall be a even better playmaker, defender & shot selector! #RunItBack it's good for the #NBA league they'll be the first since the gsw!
