I only really watch my team, the Pacers. But I have no idea how people aren't raving about TJ McConnell, the man Shaq refers to, affectionately, as "Rudy." I try not to be too much of a Homer, but I've watched him dismantle almost every team in the league. With layups. And the vibes he puts out. Standout performance to me was against the Thunder, near the end of the season. It was late in the 1stQ when the bench got put in, 10 points down. Through the end of the 1st and into the 2nd, the Pacers bench destroyed three waves of Thunder that were thrown at them, going on a run that swung them from 10 points down to 10 points up. They had the ball zipping around every which way, making cuts, finding the open guy, and racking up assists. It was... beautiful. And, in the middle of it all, TJ McConnell. All due credit to Obi 3 Kenobi, Stix, Ben Shepard, and Dougie McBuckets for playing their parts, but, thanks to TJ, they looked like a full roster of all-stars for 6 or 7 glorious minutes. TJ changes the outcome of games. As a backup, and counterpoint, to Haliburton, in this "fast-and-free" Pacers system, he's a perfect fit. Milwaukee managed to keep TJ contained for most of the 1st round, but it wasn't an accident. They changed their entire defensive scheme, switching to a zone, when TJ was on the floor. Don't sleep on TJ, because I guarantee you that the scouting report of your favorite team isn't. Also, you should all know about "Bloody TJ." He normally doesn't shoot 3s, BUT, if TJ's blood is spilt upon the court of play, his soul becomes one with the entire sport of basketball, and he gains the additional power to knock down three-pointers without missing. I first witnessed this miracle in the last game of the season, against the Hawks.

Thank you, Sir!! This category needs more recognition in the league. My favorite players to watch! I watch the NBA now just out of the skill that all the players display. It's amazing indeed. But those players who go hard and show 110% grit make the game for me. Great list. PS. I loved your game at Duke but then missed your NBA career regrettably. Got back into the NBA post pandemic. So, I'm a big fan of your work and you have the best hair in the game. Love the POD and the commentator work. Keep up the great work. Go Duke!

JJ you are a freakin' nutcase and I love every bit of it. I made this statement after hearing your choices for Bron & Wemby . . . this exercise is bananas. You are a breath of fresh air sir!

Great picks!! Whenever I hear about lists like this I immediately think Steven Adams. (Unfortunately out this season) The guy is the workhorse who makes it easy for his other team mates. He’s not trying to be the showboat but he’s definitely the guy who consistently delivers. Also he diffuses unnecessary player escalation. Solid player. 24/25 season with the Rockets will be exciting.

Man, love your podcasts!

This is the most Bill Simmons thing I’ve ever seen and I love it.

God damn i love when you go full youtube

Not sure how you are doing all this JJ. Putting in the work and it’s paying off. Take notes kids.

the way JJ looks at the camera when he picks Bron... bro😂

This video is one of the many reasons why JJ shouldn’t leave this job for a coaching job in the nba. The fans need this

Before even watching this video I knew TJ McConnell would be on this list

This needs to be a real award

It’s crazy you posted this today me and my brother were talking last night about dudes like Josh hart, Derrick white, Aaron Gordon who are stars in their roles and their respective teams would not be near as good without them or a player like them

Knew Josh Hart would be on here but glad Hartenstein was on here. People just completely disregard his impact, but the offense and defense are both entirely different when he’s on the floor

: My list : Al Horford, Naz Reid, Josh Hart, DWhite, Lu Dort, Jalen Suggs, TJ McConnell, Herb Jones, PJ Wasington, Bobby Portis

these are awesome

Can you talk about how roster building has changed over the past few years and how the big 3 era is dying. Teams are starting to more highly value solid rotational guys to go along with their star. Feels like teams are valuing fit and depth a little more than in the 2010s.

JJ, love all the stats...big stats guy here. However, technically, Josh Hart may have the most rpg by a guard overall, but if you look minutes played, I believe Brandon Podziemski takes it

As a Celtics fan im STOKED to see Horford get his flowers!

Solid points, JJ… Being an Alfred just means you’re willing to cede the position to someone else as Batman. Even if that Alfred was at some point(s) a Batman For example, Dwade and Shaq in 06. Shaq was more of an Alfred (12 ppg and 8 rpg) for the finals While Dwade 40 ppg Dwade and LeBron, the first championship D wade was an Alfred There is definitely no shame to being an Alfred! Because even hall of famers often times become Alfred’s in due time

That Jayson Tatum guy for Boston puts up decent numbers as a role player.

The idea of Batman, Robin, Alfred. People gotta understand a team has a bunch of players, who have their role. Of course a guy who excels at scoring and making tough plays and decisions is incredible and on a level of his own but its a team game, its not for everyone to be the "superstar" but everyone can contribute for success

how can you put maxey over edwards for build around

Austin Reaves! When Lebron and AD were out, he crushed it, and when they play, he does what they don't.

When it comes to discarding useful role players for no good reason, my clippers are unmatched 😭😭 good to see I Hart getting some love

Old Man and the Three backwards hats needs to be a thing.

I wonder if a team of Alfred’s could win it all

Counting to 150 million is easy but 9 is a bit tough 😭😂

The only thing I feel this show needs is a bit more graphic support. I know this might be an stylistic choice but the entire bottom left corner was empty. How about a the faces of the people that have been selected? the 10 squares there and fill them up as you name the player...

The Andre Iguodala award

Josh hart was guarding pascal siakam for a good portion of this series... He is 6' 4.... six foot fking FOUR!!!!

Glad KCP got his recognition, but I thought Aaron Gordon was a lock for the Alfred team

Field goal percentage should always be compared to the era's average. Sub 40s was not atrocious back then, if you know how the game was played.

The draft around a legend is awesome, but perhaps maxey and wemby should have counted as max players not their rookie salary, so its not easy;p

Can’t wait for JJ to become a head coach just to move heaven and earth to get Derrick white in his team
