McEnroe could provide commentary on almost anything and be still interesting to listen to.

I used to literally hate MacEnroe all the way back in college. But now he's one of my favorite commentators. He has the courage of conviction and says it like he sees it. In this corporate-dominated world of ours, that's a rare thing to see.

One of my favourite tennis players, the man had total control of his emotions, the one and only John McEnroe

Would of loved to hear Johnny Mac's thoughts on the Vitas Gerulaitis scene in Borg vs McEnroe. Out of the entire movie, that scene was spot on. Looked and felt just like Vitas.

I was 10 when Mac played Borg and I always routed for Borg, now as an adult I realized how brilliant Mac was also!

McEnroe is endlessly fascinating.

I always enjoy listening to McEnroe. Great video

fantastic commentary by John McEnroe. The best in Tennis!

Jonnie Mac rambles, people. That’s what he does. Personally I can listen to him ramble all day.

It would've been cool to see him critique Alfred Hitchcock's 'Strangers On A Train'. Lengthy tennis scene in that one.

What an excellent speaker Mr. McEnroe is and I enjoyed hearing his thoughts on all the films. I loved this video!

I love John McEnroe! I loved him as a player and I love him as a commentator.

Recently saw Johnny Mac at the Laver Cup. What a swell fella

As a Johnny Mac fan and a lifelong tennis player who started with a Jack Kramer racket, I have to say the Baumer breakdown at Windswept fields is by the far the best tennis scene ever. Hilarious.

Always the entertaining guy😀👍🏼

What about "The Break" 1995 movie? Although it's old, I was expecting his professional expertise on that one. This movie illustrates the important process of tennis tour in America, which young talents go through before reaching the bigger stages of competition.

Wonderfully said Mr. McEnroe.

I heard a lot of good things about King Richard. Mac's endorsement makes me want to see it that much more.

It is a great movie. Only negative I have is the girls should have been taller.

The best tennis movie ever I think was Players with Dean Paul Martin and Ali McGraw. Tennis was superb because Dean was an actual pro.

I'd be curious to hear his take on the Hitchcock film "Strangers on a Train" and the tennis scene there.

Imagine being on a plane and seeing John McEnroe watching Borg vs. McEnroe.... awkward, lol

not awkward but fascinating. I would ask him the questions he already answered. How realistic/accurate was Borg vs McEnroe? did they portray tennis in a favourable light, did u like the movie? did it 💔 Ng back happy memories? And u absolutely rock, keep doing tennis commentary.

I’ve never watched video where John McEnroe is talking that I find boring. He always come with something special an interesting

Most natural tennis great. Very articulate and sense of humor.

I enjoyed this.

Love McEnroe!

McEnroe transcends Tennis the same way Charles Barkley transcends Basketball just a very likable guy, very honest.

luv the shirt... Mac

You might not like what he says or how he says it but McEnroe always tells it the way it is. Such respect for the guy.

He comments on everything.....even comments on a life of a high school girl 🤣

Legend!

Mac should've reviewed the movie Players. At least Dino Paul Martin could really play. Plus he"s in that movie as well.

I've always liked John

More movies need to be made on Tennis, one specially on Federer.....

0:43i have never seen any pro tennis player playing a point with a ball in their hands LOL

I always get into arguments when I tell friends McEnroe was the best tennis player I ever saw !

"I guess at one point he got mad" lol. That's hilarious. Borg was rather reserved.

I been waiting for a tennis breakdown purely because its a sport i know so little about😂

Subtitles say "Yvonne Lendl". I like that.

@9:00, notice he caught himself saying Serena Williams is the greatest athlete, then correctly corrected himself to add greatest female athlete. Hahahaha. This brings back that NPR interview where he got in hot water for saying she would be ranked 700 among men, or something like that. Love you Johnny Mac.

Actually his legs WERE that skinny.

No 3-set match should have a bathroom break. It's turned into a scourge for the game and for fans. Maybe a 5-setter you can be allowed 3 minutes IF you're willing to give up a trainer break.

No john. It was like that. I was there. He was a god and you weee a punk. Just a super talented skinny punk:)

8:01 "WimbleTon" smh

❤❤❤❤

Did he even break down the tennis scenes in these movies? All I heard was McEnroe talk about John McEnroe. He was an immensely talented champion, but he was and still is full of himself.

John, I would love your opinion on the 5th set, which is recent French movie. Maybe the end is not so realistic, but the whole story looks real, and emphasizes on the 'anonymous' players. m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6Zmy7GFp9KWaJM.html

Does McEnroe not know that they use body doubles for the actual tennis playing in most movies?

I was so hoping he would comment on Tennenbaum tennis, but was bummed he took it so literally and didn’t understand it’s just making it extreme so you can feel the metaphor and the emotion of when you’re having a melt down.

at the end of the day it is just a movie. it's never going to be an exact replica. what it should be is entertaining, first and foremost. What i think is important is that they capture the SPIRIT of what it is they are portraying. and i think the movie did a good job with that.

Bobby Riggs was like, what, 85 years old when he played BJK?

serena williams

No conozco un jugador más irritante que este señor ahora sí alteración ego es Kyrgios.Deberis excusarse por tantos errores

Mac and roll quit doing his homework a long time ago about new upcoming tennis players it's time been time for him to step down and let somebody else do the commentary

Skinny legs? You must be kidding me...

.....and in reallity john mc enroe is tall like borg, NOT like the actor of wimbledon 1980

It’s a pity that fool Will Smith is in King Richard, as I wont watch it with him in it

Wimbledon...I was hoping to listen to him critique the "tennis" matches.

the first three were done by cgi. in wimbledon the tennis was terrible. i'd say tennis was probably the best in 'strangers on a train'.

I like Mac, but this breakdown was pretty boring. He rambled a lot. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Love John, love tennis, but this video totally illustrates how unhelpful he is as a commentator. Every time he commentates a match half of it is irrelevant digressions and the actual technical commentary is often lacking. Can't help but enjoy his personality whenever he talks, but man, someone keep this guy on point!
