When JJ is on, he is the center of the show when it comes to basketball. Stephen A looks like a guest when JJ is on.

Shannon said "relationship status" and they had to cut away lmao

[isaidwhatisaid]

JJ's face at 6:44 had him thinking wth are you talking about Shannon.

[kingjames]

I love how they cuz cut off the Shannon sharpe take about marriage 😂😂😂😂😂 Producers said “nah nah nah….next topic lol”

[easypac_]

Let’s goooo they got JJ back on First take 🥳🥳

JJ laughed at Shannons question and I wish they didnt cut it off so I could see his response, but he's absolutely right. One of Lebron's and Stephs major contributing factors to the general public is Savannah and Ayesha along with their family units. Ant over here paying girls to get an abortion aint really the best look for the NBA

JJ Face when Shannon brought up relationship status 😂

[rmirandagrajales]

I want the uncut version of Shannan discussing how marriage life is important as an all star player

[atraina]

Shannon had a point with that “relationship status” or “off the court” status for players. When you look at LeBron, and Steph both of them have no known off the court issues. Great wife and kids which brings in a family man persona which makes them look like great role models for men, and present themselves as good men that women can find great to root for and watch.

I really wanted to hear JJ’s response to Shannon at 6:47

[xeon]

And LeBron became the face of the league cause ESPN told us he is, while mounting loss after loss. Then superteams after superteam
All while ignoring that his reign hs been the lowest viewed and constantly criticized for being the least competitive

[giofzy]

As much as the relationship status thing sounded crazy it's lowkey a good point tho, the face of the league is someone who is looked up to, who people that don't know ball may get to know through him, and it's weird to think the face of the league would be a guy that poses with guns, that has 2 girls pregnant at the same time, that has a baby mama in each city lol, it's lowkey a good point by Unc...

[kristopherrobinson]

FINALLY!! PLEASE keep bringing JJ back on the show. Love the dynamic and actual debate when he comes on

[Negus-Abebe]

Why is Reddick so aggressive & angry when on ESPN, but so chill on his own podcast?

[MaluDeebo]

Bruh espn didn’t even give Shannon a chance to cook 😂😂😂 Glad to see JJ on the show again as well

[HimothyHimerson]

JJ is so right, lebron was literally asked this 2 days ago and he said Anthony Edwards has the personality to embrace being the face. A guy like jokic or kawhi will never embrace being the face of the league

[LexiSantos]

Relationship status? I wanted to see where that went! 😂

[ryanlebard]

JJ with Shannon and Mad dog would be elite on Wednesdays

[os]

GOOOOD to see JJ back, he one of my fav analysts

[jicalzad]

I like Ant Edwards & Luka as face of the league, but i agree with JJ that they both need to be able to win a championship first.
