Tell Jrue to convince Giannis to come to the podcast

[christiandecastro]

[bishgetoffme]

Jrue is so Underrated!!! He should get more respect no cap

[alexcamp]

Became one of my favorite players this season. Unbelievable, unprecedented and understated.

Shoutout to Jrue and Lauren they are an absolute power couple and having watched Jrue grow up from the Sixers to now it's unreal to see him win a trophy.

[iowacub]

Speaking of Jrue's defense, Legend of Winning had a great livestream clip highlighting how the Suns were intentionally avoiding him. Jrue would guard a guy and Phoenix would just put that guy in the corner. He was turning CP3 and Booker into corner shooters just by existing on the court.

I’m from New Orleans and I’m a pelicans fan. I couldn’t be more happy for the dude. Wasn’t always our best player but always the best person. Dude is 1st class. Was our best player most of the time he was in New Orleans.

[leroyrodgers]

Damn, Jrue and AD must be ecstatic they left the Pelicans. 2 years later they are both NBA champions and now Jrue is an Olympic gold medalist. There's literally nothing left for him to achieve within reason, accept for maybe DPOY. Happy for him.

[irldeancobias]

Been watching NBA since 10 and now I’m 20. But it’s only recently that I admired Jrue’s greatness. Thanks to this podcast.

JJ a legendary podcast host .
I haven't watched basketball long so this kinda helps you understand the players more .

[sadsheep]

This was such a fun podcast, definitely one of my favourite guests on here, Jrue is so charismatic and fun to listen to. You can feel his happiness when he's listening and describing specific plays like that giannis alley oop. Can't help but love the guy.

[zethjugos]

we knew the bucks made the best trade when they got jrue...he was exactly what they needed...jrue is finally getting appreciated as one of the best 2 way players in the league right now...

[soulfly]

when jj said: you did it bro. it felt sooo emotional. like we could all end up crying if this went sideways. you can sense the bond between them.

[davidbatzneriii]

Holy hell, I love Jrue. Great interview. He is a great player and an even greater human. This is the type of athlete I want my children to look up to.

[andresantos]

that ending was so wholesome. love to see it.

[stansb]

Man, you americans are so lucky to have all these players play in your country and for your country and to have the chance to see them live.

It's kinda sad how media can instantly disrespects them or even fellow Americans trolls them.

Just want to let you know that I appreciate every athletes who put in the work to win.

[richis]

I am a super casual basketball fan, but a huge fan of listening to professional Athletes speak from all sports, not just about their sports and their performance. Jrue has quickly become one of my favourite athletes to listen to. Thanks for sharing this awesome perspective JJ
