@@shara-la8629sh*t yo goofy a** u*

Their draft class is crazy man.. Luka, SGA, Trae, JJJ, MPJ, Brunson…
Not to mention Mikal Bridges and another up and coming dude in Anfernee Simons too... then a HUGE amount of really good role players like W. Carter, Sexton, Divencenzo, Huerter, Grayson Allen, Robert Williams, Gary Trent, Bruce Brown, Vanderbilt... PLUS several undrafted studs like Duncan Robinson, Kenrich Williams, Jae'sean Tate, and several others. Insane draft class.
@@beanie3427 you forget num 1 - he is good role player.
Without this draft class, nba would be so damn boring
33:49 MPJ on Jokic and Gordon in Serbia
Knew mpj was special since them aau days. Glad he’s a champ now!
Well he got carried to that ring.... He choked in the playoffs. Not sure if you were watching. By the time the finals were happening he was losing minutes to Brown.
@@klipchegaming you would be curled up in a ball on oxycodone all day everyday if you had these injuries and surgeries. The fact he gets on the court at all is incredible.
Props to the Nuggets organisation, they put so much trust in all of their players.
Mpj’s a good storyteller
MIKE! MIKE!!! MIKE!! MIKE!!! MIKE!MIKE!! 😊⚒️1️⃣
Yeah Mike!
🗣️Mike! mike!
Amazing episode! Btw we need you guys on the same team in the future again, it would be special 4sure
i don't want trae on nuggets, so MPJ in bigger role to Hawks i guess is what you mean
@@dushan04 nah Trae to Denver
Trade MPJ for Bogdan?
I would never take Trae over Jamal. No way.
@@stefandrakchethat would be so stupid…future all star for bogdan?! NOPE!!
MPJ is such a great person! BRAVO! 🏆 Trae too!
Shout out from Greeley CO thank you MPJ for being you. Much love and respect.
Best interview word dawgg❤.
That was fun! It was like hanging out with two tight bros from back in the day. Thanks guys!
I was very happy the Nuggets got AG, to me it made so much sense.
MPJ been my favorite ball is life player forever so glad he’s doing good bruh been watching bro forever
Yeah Book and Kd was going crazy respect to the Wolves, every nuggets player that spoke about the toughest competition in the playoffs always give their flowers to them
This is why Mike is the goat
Michael “never swing the rock” Porter Jr.
Porter Jr seems to be in a winning position while trae seems to be in a first round exit situation where he's the man.
Trae doesn't have have another superstar in his squad while MPJ plays with Jokic and Murray
Jealousy is just love and hate - Trae I never looked at it that way, it truly is. Never did I think Trae Young would have me THINKING at 7am bro 🤣
Super wholesome.
I would love to see Trae, Mpj and a very defensive center on a team together and see how that works out
Peach Jam all over again.
The comment section about Mpj on the instagram page had me dyinggg!! Dude said michael "get the rebound if i miss" porter jr
CHAMP 🏆💛💙
Yall should try and get druski on at some point👀, love the show btw
Trae friend be trying so hard to keep the serious voice all episode😂😂
I wish these was on Apple Podcasts like the rest of them
Shout out to Trae Young hes never had a solid number 2 option and still taking the Hawks to the playoffs/even to the ecf! Thats wild!
He's also the second ever player to lead the entire NBA in both points and assists and did the same thing in college
Peach jam is baaaack!!!!
Would love to see Mpj on a different team being a facilitator too, if he starts passing too he would be amazing
So would nuggets fans. He cost too much for what we get.
@@klipchegaming I really hope you're trolling
shoutout connor man 😅
My favorite player in the nba, and my favorite player in the NBA who's my height both on the same podcast!? It must be my birthday!
Why isnt this on Trae Youngs actual podcast page???
“That’s so major” 😂
3:11 nah them mfs were just high 😂😂😂😂
F w these 🤝
Please react to the timberwolves 🎉 thank you
17:30 Shai more underrated. Trae hella underrated tho
trae speaking out his ass bruh
Maybe if Trae focused on basketball instead of being a podcast host we would see him in the playoffs.
Trae is better at defense than he is at hosting a podcast…….thats not a compliment btw 😂
Bruh 😂
Dude in the white sounds nervous as fuck joining in on convos or asking questions 😂
@@Yute01 yea bro so bad. But I am a sucker for nba content so I endure. 😂
I kind of feel like the reason Trae chose his cohost is so he can pretend it's Luka when looking at him from the side 😆 Wish Mike had shouted out Campazzo as one of his top passers. I know they only played together a year, but that dude was a magician with the ball, especially for someone his size.
Trae's co host is his former high school teammate
Mpj stay in a pair of bell bottoms lol
If I was a GM @9:50 I would have alarms going off with Trae. His time in Atlanta has made him okay with being a loser. He is just showing up and cashing that check on his losing team. No drive. GG
Trae Young talk like he asking a queston everything he says... And his hair look like when somebody pick up a lolipop they dropped a on a dirty ass carpet
recycled joke from 5 years ago
shit still funny af though! @@hegeliandianetik2009
its for all the people who have missed it in those 5 years too@@hegeliandianetik2009
New teeth
The guy on the left is such a nerd, loved the episode otherwise
literal robot
played high school ball wIth Trae and now works at Klutch sports
repent and trust in Christ for the salvation of sins and hell
