This interview was gold and the melo one as well. Chris is truly about family. Melo whole life is about things he loves getting taking away from him. It explains so much why their careers turned out like they did. Both are champions in my book. And listening to them talk about their kids and how much you miss in this game it really makes you think about what's really important in life

CP has so many All NBAs i feel like that should be read on someones resume before how many All Stars they had. All NBA means so much more

as a person that calls their grandfather their best friend; I felt that whole segment of when he was speaking on his grandad; shout out to the grandfathers that continue parenting their kids kids from an evolved space.
CP is a really good storyteller, I've noticed. Him on here and in Draymond's podcast, he talks with so much detail and it doesn't seem forced at all.
That ninja D. Wade gon win an Emmy with these Best friends episodes.the truth telling is compelling#DopeContent

My 2 favorite players growing up. As a puertorrican black teenager you guys inspired me to become a locked in professional sharp looking black man that prioritizes his family. You guys were the fatherly influence that I didn't have in my life. I know have a masters degree and did it my myself thank you strangers🙌🏾

@@CoopCollins read, 2 favorite players growing up. I never said all time. All time its MJ, DWade, Joker, Khawi,AI and Magic. Wake up be realistic CP3 is 6'0 slaying giants that is very admirable and it is very, very hard. Im 6'0 as well and it was tough as hell to score against taller people. Respect CP3 and the other nba stars that are short you troll. Cant hate on anybody that has a 6'0 foot player as they're 🐐 no matter what player it is.

Damn my grandma had 1982 Lincoln Town Car all white with the dark blue soft top, dark blue leather interior with oak trim , and white walls around his tires . Every day in summer he’d come home from work have a few beers and was his car . Miss you granddad .
A great bi weekly pod idea would be Chris, Dwayne, Melo, and Bron....call it Banana Boat Boys...discuss old stories, state of the NBA today, culture, etc.

He was the only player I used on NBA 2k or NbA live back in the day when I was in high school. Man time flies and that’s back in the 2010’s. Imagine Kobe and CP3 playing together with Paul Gasol? Like what😂. Point god is valid

Doesn’t work this way.
CP3 Has a talent for unlocking the potential of the players he plays with. He unlocked Blake Griffin, James Harden, SGA, and Devon Booker. The Spurs need a point guard for Wemby. I'm sure CP3 would have a positive effect on the young gun's game.

Floyd Mayweather paid Al Haymon $100k just to sit down with him to talk & learn bout the boxing business, & promoting entertainment & sports. Now they're business partners. Floyd said that was the best & smartest thing he ever paid for. Someone asked Floyd if he'd ever like to be president. He said, "No. I'll be the VP & Al will be the President." Floyd don't & won't take second place to nobody, except Al Haymon. That's respect.

After Bron’s 1 on 1 interview, I think everyone would agree a whole banana boat group podcast would be crazy.
Yall shoulda started by explaining that banana boat photo. I still need some answers from that
Get Paul Pierce on the show. I know theres respect there and its great for the young ones and lets be mature and get Paul on here. He would do it the rivalry was 12 years ago lets have respect among 2 legends

The gold mics are so extra 😂 not mad at it though
This podcast is Knuckleheads Tier. Goes deep for sure

Wish D Wade would've told his experience as player during Chris tenure as president of the union.

Man try putting some highlight video while talking to your guest
If CP actually decided not to go to the Heat because he wanted to keep his number (which I don't believe for a second) that is one of the single dumbest decisions in sports history.
Wtf so cp3 could've had 2 rings but that didn't happen because of a jersey number 😢
