[KeithSweat]

This feels like a grown man being interviewed by four stoned high schools kids.

[VirgilHawkinsIs]

I feel like “I shouldn’t have done this” is something that goes through the minds of like 90% of Flagrant’s guests. 😂😂😂

[mrjack]

Richard Jefferson would kill on flagrant 😂😂

[kendole]

Andrew tripling down on the haircut for so long is wild

[christopherlovell]

“Can you not be a child for 5 seconds” lmaoooo

[cmcb]

I absolutely hate having to admit that JJ is a genuinely chill and likable person. I spent 30+ years thinking I could count on death, taxes and that JJ from Duke was a douche.

[ChefDeli]

@12:26 When JJ said "I shouldn't have done this" he played it off as a joke, but you can tell he was being deadass serious and just said his thoughts out oud lmaoooo

[JokeWRLD]

Bringing up the Jason Williams 1 on 1 less than a minute in lmao

[fernandogonzalez]

The "Did Dwight stay in the shower" line was hilarious. I think it was overlooked.

[NotAnonymous]

I love how people are commenting “loved the pod, such a great listen” when it’s been out for 2 minutes just to get quick likes 🤣🤣
(I commented this for likes)

[xProjectCINEMAx]

That Dwight Howard joke was hilarious lmfao

[justinsane]

Love seeing JJ thrive post career, the players that are truly passionate about their respective games are even more inspirational/motivational than when they played sometimes.

[kevinbaker]

As a UNC fan, JJ was one of the few guys that I actually feared as a fan. He still to this day, is the BEST 3PT SHOOTER in college I've ever witnessed. Dude made impossible 3's and made it look easy. Respect to JJ, had a solid NBA career as well.

[seanbuttars]

, anyone else love that jj told andrew to stfu and quit being a child while he was trying to awnser a question, every guest should use that at 3 seconds so the podcast can start being deacent again

[brandonperez]

I think the discussion around sports media is fascinating. I’m 42, I fell in love with the NBA when Ahamad Rashad and Willow Bay were on Saturday mornings on NBA inside stuff, I watched ESPN religiously for years, I read the local newspaper about my team, I loved SI, etc. Now I consume 95% of my basketball content from YouTube. I think the biggest difference is that YouTube content creators just do it for the love of the game and you can really feel that.

[Chrisbethinking]

Aye when Andrew gets serious and curious about a topic or subject, he really asks some of the most insightful, creative and engaging questions.

[javianjohnson]

JJ was really good in this podcast handling Andrew’s and the rest of those guy’s shenaneigans 😭

[ds]

JJ is the coolest dude. Thank you for having him on! More previous NBA players! Jason Williams was a great ep. If you had Richard Jefferson on, he would roast you so hard. Have him on please!

[Jbegu]

The conversation about play recall was interesting. High level chess players have an uncontested ability at recalling previous games. The human mind is so good at specializing when it’s done at such a consistent and high level.

[newheat.]

26:19 “did Dwight stay in the shower with you?” is crazy 😂
