My biggest takeaway from this is that i really hope Chris Paul winds up on tv as an analyst. He’s so good at explaining the game.

Amazing how CP3 does not see his hugely intelligent actions as anything other than logical. When he says it, it sounds simple, but it isn't. What a brain that guy has.

Off the court tho, he’s so socially oblivious and corny that he comes off as a dummy. He just was allowed a lil too much power for such a storied franchise and if it weren’t for the bubble ring, most people would agree he ruined the franchise for years to come

I've been a basketball fan for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME and this is my first time ever hearing about a 3 for 2 just goes to show how deep these players go to try to find ANY edge against the opponent....

@@lukadonchich Basically at the end of a quarter you have to shoot it at 1:05 or close to that. That way you get more possessions at the end of the quarter. Is like a 2 for 1 when you shoot it at 35-31 second left because you know the other team is gonna use their 24 second so you get the last possession of the quarter. Here is the same concept but you shoot it earlier so that you get 3 shots (or possessions) up to their 2.

I am a huge fan of the NBA and specifically players with high basketball IQ, mainly because I don't play basketball myself and so the only real way I can track the games I watch is through the tactics of various plays. This video is a godsend for me trying to figure out how to read games well from the position of only having watched the game for a few years. Thanks JJ!

These are the parts of each episode that I love. The way JJ can get pros breaking down different aspects of the game in a way that only comes from experience.

I watch the NBA at the most basic level (game, score, great plays, main stats, postgame shows)…but I can’t help but absolutely enjoy listening to this. Its like listening to a physicist give a lecture on the math behind quantum physics 😂. I have no clue wtf you guys are talking about but I love it.

He’s like harden they both simplified the game no need to make it harder than it has to be

The most interesting point of this entire compilation for me is the Draymond clip. He specifically says “it takes at least half a season for guys to really catch on (to the system).” When you watched GP2, Belly, Otto, etc. last year they fumbled a bunch on the court despite the great start they had last year. Their struggles were shown in the middle of the season when steph started missing games. However near the end of the regular season and come playoffs, they went from plays being created for them, to creating plays for Steph and Klay fluidly. One example is GP2’s handoff screens to Steph during the finals. I wonder if this year, since they’re doing complete dogshit in this half of the season, they’re gonna have a turnaround 3/4 of the way.

I loved Draymond breakdown. Low man is the strong side corner , him forgetting to pull in . Regular people like me don’t think like this and I appreciate that.

There's a video showing how Luka in the last play of the Bucks game figured out that the Bucks knew the Mav's play and was signaling the bench and CWood to change it up but no one else figured it out and he ended up in a difficult situation with Holiday on him and missed the desperation shot. He's the smartest on and off the court for the Mavs.

Looking forward to more amazing content next year but for now I hope you guys enjoy some well deserved time off this week!!

Chris Paul: *denies manipulation* Also CP: So a 3 for 2 is your shoot at 1:03 so you force a 3rd possession out

Bro! Such a subtle flex when JJ asked Luka about what he’s feeling for when going into ISO. This man luka immediately said “look who’s under the basket” COMPLETELY disregarding the actual grown man right in front of him lol MVP!

As a Steelers fan, that reminded me of when Coach T says that the opponents are just "blank grey faces" and just people in the way.

I love the conversation with Chris Paul with the way that he asks questions back at you to get you to think its really amazing how smart of a guy he is and how his intelligence keeps him a great player against all the young talent in the league

perfect video. I love hearing from the players on the show talking about what it’s like for them off the court but there’s nothing better than pure basketball talk

Love the idea of this interview-compilation! Sooo interesting to hear how these players actually view some details of the game. Would love even more content / questions like this - maybe even while seeing footage / them showing some stuff while viewing clips...

The fact that we have access to hearing conversations like these is special. Learning so much as a fan and as a casual hooper.

Shout out to JJ Redick for these interviews this content is going to upgrade him tremendously. Hopefully he stays consistent with them

We NEED Bron on here man. I feel like he’d have the best insight out of anyone.

Bruh, legit making notes from what they are saying. Just so much insight into how a player thinks on the court. Specially the CP bit, going to watch his complete pod again.

We need more of these IQ discussions. They're really good food for thought! Love it

As a basketball nerd, I can't get enough of these conversations and break downs.

Most podcasts with nba players don't get into x's and o's enough, but that's what nba players know better than anyone else, love to see stuff like this

Thanks JJ and Tommy, this is fantastic! More of these contents, keep going💪

Man... dray is such a supermind when it comes to that teams flow on both ends.

Draymond Green is a true student of the game bruh you can hear it in his voice

I really found the Chris Paul JJ convo insightful

As a basketball fan I really appreciated you making this mashup of all the technical basketball conversations

Been waiting for this kind of episode thank you JJ. keep doing the good work

This my favorite basketball iq video, very insightful. Shoutout to JJ for asking the high level questions.

I can't stop thinking about the meaning of calling Chris Paul a "Sicko". The context really shows the compliment and the "No! You're actually insane CP!"

This was perfect guys happy holidays 🎉 Love this kind of content since I don’t always have time to watch every episode!

Easily the best discussions. Love the knowledge of the game spilled into these conversations.

I love how Chris Paul is like the boogie man of this show that pops up in other people's stories. "He's a real sicko."

Those seemingly spontaneous dribbles being muscle memory for Steph is absolutely incredible

Great video. Get this man on the table

One of the best ball videos on the internet rn. Great stuff

dray is correct about the swing pass because you see the moving parts and if the defense is off by 1 step either someone is open or you drive the lane. Btw love the smart NBA discussions and essentially being taught by the best in the game. its great.

Cp3 got tight af at that manipulate question 🤣

As a player still at 35 I love at his type of footage wish ESPN would tap in to this side of basketball great job JJ!! 🏀🧠

“Big dummies get your arm outa there” is the perfect quote to end the video on 😂

Love these type episodes. The NBA mind just different!

Its mind bogglingly how good pros memory are when it comes to past games, and training. Its like they remember every play, not even just basketball, like most sports if not all, pros will have amazing recollection of past games.

Love listening to this pro insight. 💯

Awesome to watch. Please make more videos like this.
