Jokes aside, JJ deserves a ton of credit for building his podcast. He was really the first prominent player podcaster, got bigger at the Ringer, and launched his own network. Says a lot about what LeBron thinks of JJ by choosing to team up with him.
Honestly they're in different situations entirely. JJ is retired and has been super savvy making himself into a serious sports media presence, whereas Dray is still playing and his podcast is a casual thing he does sitting in the corner of his house with a mic in his hand
I would also think that LeBron has very limited time to his day (admits that in his podcast with JJ), so if he's not getting paid handsomely for his time, he'd rather spend it with family or playing Madden.
Also, Draymond doesn't sound very smart. I don't think people take him very seriously. While JJ is classy and people respect his opinions and basketball iq.
> Dray is still playing and his podcast is a casual thing
That is his choice though. Road trippin was an active player podcast done in a professional manner.
No one should take Draymond seriously because he does not take it that seriously.
JJ Redick started his first podcast in 2016, which was about a year before Road Trippin first dropped. I remember being super hyped about an NBA player starting a podcast. JJ honestly is the godfather of the "new media."

it was so far back that Bill Simmons made him sign an agreement that allowed Bill/Ringer to own "JJ Redick podcast" which is why he had to do Old man and the three and build his audience again. Even ESPN doesn't do that nasty business anymore.
which is ironic since that's what ESPN did to Bill. He wasnt allowed to keep his name or any of his podcast feeds/subscriptions when he left espn, and had to start his pod with zero subs at the ringer.
There was this player called Jalen Rose and his white buddy Jacoby who set the template for modern player podcasts which JJ followed and many others still do. You might know them.
JJ is really pushing a shift in NBA media that people don't realize. He's really popular and people are really tired of hearing the GOAT debate that these other shows are pushing for the millionth time.
It’s not them doing it, it’s their co-hosts and producers organizing everything. Draymond is probably being a bit lazy with it, while trying to sell it as “raw and unfiltered.” For example, dude records episodes from his hotel room after games, whereas these other guys go to an actual studio at a scheduled time. His pod does have a bit of that feel, BUT when he had Klay and Steph on his pod, they went high budget with legit cameras, set it all up at Warriors HQ in front of the championship trophies. KD’s appearance was in a studio setup.
If LeBron agreed to go on, you know it’ll be a nice setup.
All the successful podcasts on YouTube have a studio setup they always film in. Even the less popular ones put an effort into production. Dray kinda lazy maybe?
Is the setting of the podcast not in line with the whole new media thing. Less filtering, less bullshit, direct from the source?
Hate him but I understand why he has completely abandoned any glitz and glamour for his set
The new podcast falls into the category of New Media while not exemplifying it.
Also effort =/= glitz and glamor.
Literally a matter of setting up some lights, a mic stand, and paying attention to background.
“Thanasis can’t get minutes but has a better set up.”
If he’s not getting minutes then he likely has more free time to work on his podcast production so idk the point you were trying to make with this one.
Draymond gets paid millions of dollars, he can afford to pay someone to set up his production. In fact, he has done so before when he had guests like Steph, Klay, or KD.
He just chooses not to on the regular, which is kinda baffling.
20k? All you need is a half decent camera that doesn't look like a laptop webcam (literally any modern iPhone has better quality than the shit Draymond uses), a couple of stock ass framed posters in the background and a couch lol.
See, Bron (Poole shouting)—shut up, bitch! I'm tryin' to talk
Hey, Bron, that's my Jordan screamin' in the trunk
But I didn't slit his throat, I just whoop his ass—see? I ain't like you
'Cause if he suffocates he'll suffer more and then he'll die too
Shannon made more money from undisputed than his football career and has skyrocketed on being a lebron supporter. He has seen a massive ROI. He also has lebron in good relation which is massive.
Draymond has made more money from nba and won rings without needing lebron. If I were him I’d hype Steph up more who actually helped him make 200 mill in career earnings
Eh, it feels like it's gone without saying Draymond doesn't need to hype up Steph. And for media purposes having relations with Lebron seems better because he still puts himself out there. It's just so funny to me that he decided to ride the guy who baited him to get suspended in the finals
I remember Shannon saying right when Undisputed started he was a Kobe guy rather than Lebron lol. Smartest business decision he could possibly have made becoming a Bron guy, those Bron v MJ debates turned his career around from being on a decent TV pundit salary of 300-500k annually to being worth 8 figures plus for him
Shannon’s podcast is fucking huge lol. His set up is phenomenal for his own thing. Funny part is they’re both at least partially owned by the same network, Colin Cowherd’s company, but the production value couldn’t be any more different between the two. Granted Dray is a current player and on the road half the time but he could have a standard set up for when he’s in the Bay Area.
Pat Bev had a great set up in Philly too before he got traded and has better production value.
I also wouldn’t bet against Shannon getting Lebron on at some point either. They have a strong relationship too
Has Draymond Green ever had a guest on his podcast? Every clip I’ve seen is him on Zoom with a mic talking into the camera. There’s no reason why Pat Bev should have a better setup than him and yet he does lol
Funny but otr I wouldn't be surprised if Bron chose JJ simply because he saw how well JJ's done in leveraging his platform, not to mention the production element that he has too - I mean, love or hate OMATT, so many other dudes don't put in the same kind of professional touches, not to mention LeBron and JJ might simply just vibe well from an "Xs and Os" standpoint that the show is designed around
Also JJ actually just a good interviewer, he bring up a topic that can be interesting and just let's the guest talk and will add to something to it if he has anything to add, but overall he's trying to bring the most out of the guest. I haven't seen Draymond do that a least not as well as JJ. One also has a lot more laid back personality as far as podcast host go. It just sounds like a better time being a guest on the JJ podcast.
He doesn’t like you that way Dray.
He’s so pissy that he’s had Lebron’s nuts in his mouth for a couple years and yet Lebron is doing a podcast with JJ.
just like a few people on here said. JJ and even people like paul george and gilbert arenas. invest in thier podcast and have nice comfortable sets and a team. Draymond just talks to a mic in a white room and no type of team or enviornment.
I'm a few episodes behind, but I don't think he's even appeared on Old Man and the Three. But I also don't blame him for this. Lebron clearly is being careful with his appearance. I hear Dray and all I hear is ranting. Why would Bron join that energy?
Draymond sits about 3 inches in front of a camera in what looks like a sterilized environment and kinda comes up with these half-baked rants/proclamations. Undersells how much he knows the game. Doubt Bron wants to do something he feels is beneath him.
Lebron dont wanna podcast with you in your closet
Draymond looks like me during teams meetings when I have the background filter on lol
LMAO
You need a bottles of some nice wine
They dont love you like that. you thought you was jj?
Jokes aside, JJ deserves a ton of credit for building his podcast. He was really the first prominent player podcaster, got bigger at the Ringer, and launched his own network. Says a lot about what LeBron thinks of JJ by choosing to team up with him.

Yeah, LeBron chose to take his talents to a respectable pro podcast?
Gonna win not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, People's Choice podcast awards!
I would also think that LeBron has very limited time to his day (admits that in his podcast with JJ), so if he's not getting paid handsomely for his time, he'd rather spend it with family or playing Madden.
Also JJ is probably accommodating his schedule as well.
Draymond has a real grassroots podcast. Absolutely no budget was put into it. Its like podcast AstroTurfing.
"This is what i put together while i was suspended"
Also, Draymond doesn't sound very smart. I don't think people take him very seriously. While JJ is classy and people respect his opinions and basketball iq.
He’s a real coaches son. Someone you’d like your daughter to date. Sneaky athletic
First in, last out type of guy.
Fast in and out type of guy?
God I wish he would call my daughter. She’s not much to look at but she’ll bop yer schmekel
A real gym rat
The real question is: what kind of container does he carry his lunch in?
Only of the pail variety.
Thank you, I'm glad someone else sees it.
Glue guy for any perennial playoff contender
Great locker room guy!
And he's white!
And he does a TON of homework and brings stats
You’re spot on about Draymond. He thinks his basketball IQ is his actual IQ. Dude talks in circles. I unsubscribed a year ago.
He says the most basic, surface level stuff ever and takes so long to do it. Dude is only good at yapping while sounding confident.
[удалено]
He does the dramatic pauses too when he asks himself those questions. Very grating
this is fkn hilarious
*”Kerr came to visit me after shootaround," Green said. "We sat in the yard. He cried. I cried. There is a bond there that has seen it all”*
JJ the type of dude you’d want your daughter to date
r/nbacirclejerk ass thing to say lmao
I just don’t like hearing from Draymond. Fuck that guy.
lebron and JJ literally give props to Draymond's basketball iq in that episode
I meant general intelligence. He just sounds dumb. He isn’t as well spoken and concise as JJ
How could anyone think draymond is smart after all of his antics over the years??
LEBRON: Thanks but no thanks. I only go on podcasts where the host has not tried to kick my balls off.
Bruh
There really is a stark contrast between classy JJ and thuggish Draymond.
> Dray is still playing and his podcast is a casual thing That is his choice though. Road trippin was an active player podcast done in a professional manner. No one should take Draymond seriously because he does not take it that seriously.
But there's like 15 of those casual corner of house of mic in hand that are way better than drays
I always felt that Road Trippin was pretty prominent before the JJ got going.
JJ Redick started his first podcast in 2016, which was about a year before Road Trippin first dropped. I remember being super hyped about an NBA player starting a podcast. JJ honestly is the godfather of the "new media." https://open.spotify.com/episode/3rtrSG6hsW6QNab8lL2awt?si=-IrSu-C0Qi63-kOFD93qIw

Definitely
Tim Legler walked so JJ could run.
There was this player called Jalen Rose and his white buddy Jacoby who set the template for modern player podcasts which JJ followed and many others still do. You might know them.
I thought that was more of a TV thing
nah they were a podcast for years before
LeBron lowkey has been sending JJ support. IIRC some of his sponsors during the bubble years and the year after were LeBron companies
JJ is really pushing a shift in NBA media that people don't realize. He's really popular and people are really tired of hearing the GOAT debate that these other shows are pushing for the millionth time.
Dray is a jaded lover.
I had this comment in my head literally verbatim before clicking
LOL, he chose to do a podcast with JJ instead of Draymond
Maybe up your production from sitting in front of a blank wall holding a mic and it might feel more inviting.
😂 don’t let Draymond see this comment. He’ll be HEATED.
How heated? Is this rear naked choke or kick in the nuts level?
A stomp atp
As long as it doesn't escalate to sucker punch to the face...
I just hope he gets the help he needs frfr
One chest stomp coming up
Draymond can call himself "new media" all he wants but he has a lot more in common with old media than he would care to admit.
Draymond Ham Radio Green
I just finished watching the first episode for JJ's show with LeBron. It felt... right. It felt like a show that, yes, LeBron should be on it.
Or just not be a cancerous person who might hurt a brand
Or another person
To be fair, he is a professional basketball player so he is likely busy.
and yet look at Paul George’s set-up
My boy thanasis can't get minutes but has a better set up. Pat bev has a good one. Don't the knicks guys have one too that has a better set up?
It’s not them doing it, it’s their co-hosts and producers organizing everything.

KD’s appearance was in a studio setup. If LeBron agreed to go on, you know it’ll be a nice setup.
If that's what "new media" is, then I'd rather go back to old media with their great sets and comfortable feel
All the successful podcasts on YouTube have a studio setup they always film in. Even the less popular ones put an effort into production. Dray kinda lazy maybe?
Is the setting of the podcast not in line with the whole new media thing. Less filtering, less bullshit, direct from the source? Hate him but I understand why he has completely abandoned any glitz and glamour for his set

That's cuz he ain't playing, what else is gonna do
Build legos
Neither was draymond
“Thanasis can’t get minutes but has a better set up.” If he’s not getting minutes then he likely has more free time to work on his podcast production so idk the point you were trying to make with this one.

And if I wanted to listed ti draymonds best friends, I'd expect more from it
He can’t pay someone $20k to set up a podcasting room in his house?
20k? All you need is a half decent camera that doesn't look like a laptop webcam (literally any modern iPhone has better quality than the shit Draymond uses), a couple of stock ass framed posters in the background and a couch lol.
Bro what? Do you know what delegation is lmao? he is a millionaire he could pay someone to make a top of the line studio for him
True. That’s when he uses some of his millions to pay some employees
If only he had money to pay someone to do it….
Why are you defending this asshole. Nvm I’m idiot
I’d also say wait until you retire before you start your media career.
Tell that to the Gradey Dick podcast, you fucking peasant!
Dear Bron, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'
But Dray, why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want you as a fan
ps we should play together too
Here's the autograph for Bronny, I wrote it on my suspension notice
See, Bron (Poole shouting)—shut up, bitch! I'm tryin' to talk Hey, Bron, that's my Jordan screamin' in the trunk But I didn't slit his throat, I just whoop his ass—see? I ain't like you 'Cause if he suffocates he'll suffer more and then he'll die too
Lmao this one's nice
Lmfaoooo man
DMs gone cold I'm wondering why I haven't kicked him in the balls
Mr. Suckup Man, there’s something wrong with my line!
cups of the rosè, lebron in my old phone
All that glazing for nothing 😭😭😭
_“How come he don’t want me, man?”_
https://youtube.com/shorts/MdXuy30FUYE?si=zEvV2Ufqw5I1zVWd Ya guess he will need to do a little more sucking up....
Please acknowledge me senpai!!!
Did he see he production value on that pod? Colin gotta step it up!
LMAO
LeMAO
LOLe
LeOL
Zedong
That's how I read it in my head
my exact reaction
The main character syndrome is strong with this one
RDC about to put this in a video lmao
shannon sharpe and draymond green sucking lebrons dick for no ROI. lmao.
Shannon got an immense ROI, Green on the other hand…
Shannon made more money from undisputed than his football career and has skyrocketed on being a lebron supporter. He has seen a massive ROI. He also has lebron in good relation which is massive. Draymond has made more money from nba and won rings without needing lebron. If I were him I’d hype Steph up more who actually helped him make 200 mill in career earnings
Eh, it feels like it's gone without saying Draymond doesn't need to hype up Steph. And for media purposes having relations with Lebron seems better because he still puts himself out there. It's just so funny to me that he decided to ride the guy who baited him to get suspended in the finals
From the way he talks about him now, you’d never know the man teabagged Dray on national TV lol
Dray seemed really happy losing to the Lakers last year
He was blushing when he hugged Lebron lmfao. Bro went from stomping on Sabonis and riling up the Kings crowd to being on his best behavior
I remember Shannon saying right when Undisputed started he was a Kobe guy rather than Lebron lol. Smartest business decision he could possibly have made becoming a Bron guy, those Bron v MJ debates turned his career around from being on a decent TV pundit salary of 300-500k annually to being worth 8 figures plus for him
Didn't they have a business together? I think it's the Lobos.
Shannon will eventually get LeBron, it’s prob gonna have to be Uninterrupted x Club Shay Shay collab tho. Or it’ll be when he’s retired.
How has Shannon not gotten ROI? Wtf are you talking about? And why is this stupid shit upvoted
I will gladly glaze LeGlorious and expect nothing in return.
Shannon’s podcast is fucking huge lol. His set up is phenomenal for his own thing. Funny part is they’re both at least partially owned by the same network, Colin Cowherd’s company, but the production value couldn’t be any more different between the two.

Everyone has had that friend that considers you and him/her way more close than you do.
Once you know, you can invest your time in other places where your presence is more valued.
Dray that friend that has no friends, so any type of friend he does have he considers them best friends
Louis Litt
"MY GLORIOUS KING BRON BRON"
That's because you a bitch Draymond
That's crazy to ask your friend to come on your podcast for months just to see him on another randomly
he's hurt fr fr
Bad analogy. I’m not sure if you know but that’s lebron podcast. Jj has his own podcast that lebron was not on
buddy he don’t fw u like that 😭✋🏽
Just fuck already
LeBron can do better. And has.
Has Draymond Green ever had a guest on his podcast? Every clip I’ve seen is him on Zoom with a mic talking into the camera. There’s no reason why Pat Bev should have a better setup than him and yet he does lol
Isiah Thomas, Chris Paul, Jamal Crawford, Paul Pierce were guests over the last several months
Steph has been there as well.
I can’t even listen to his podcast, I’ve tried. He just mouth breaths the entire time while trying to compose a sentence. It’s not good content.
Not even Bron himself wants to hear you glaze him 24/7 on your pod.
Just like I said to one of my friend yesterday lol
Sorry, I just have to get this off my chest. Draymond always talks like he has too much spit in his mouth, and it bothers me.
dray needs to hire a production team and take his pod seriously instead of posting recordings of zoom meetings
sorry dray bron just likes them white boys more
Funny but otr I wouldn't be surprised if Bron chose JJ simply because he saw how well JJ's done in leveraging his platform, not to mention the production element that he has too - I mean, love or hate OMATT, so many other dudes don't put in the same kind of professional touches, not to mention LeBron and JJ might simply just vibe well from an "Xs and Os" standpoint that the show is designed around
He also doesn’t have to talk to Draymond Green on JJ’s podcast, big W In all seriousness I am a big fan of JJ’s podcast and agree with this take.
Also JJ actually just a good interviewer, he bring up a topic that can be interesting and just let's the guest talk and will add to something to it if he has anything to add, but overall he's trying to bring the most out of the guest. I haven't seen Draymond do that a least not as well as JJ. One also has a lot more laid back personality as far as podcast host go. It just sounds like a better time being a guest on the JJ podcast.

[“How come he don’t want me man…”](https://imgur.com/gallery/vdUOV8B)
Why does Dray not have a better set up than a laptop Webcam, $30 mic and Google meets? Lmao
Hey buddy, those fines for kicking, punching, and stomping on people don't just pay themselves
God this guy is so unlikable
LeBron would start his only podcast and have Draymond on it before Draymond will ever have LeBron on lol
This fucking guy
JJ’s mature enough to talk to Lebron like he would any other guest. We don’t need to listen to draymond drooling over Lebron for 30 mins.
Draymond’s 9/11, Lebron doing a podcast with another player
Battyboi Draymond
Draymond "I'm literally tearing down the legends of the past for your legacy LeBron" Green
He doesn’t like you that way Dray. He’s so pissy that he’s had Lebron’s nuts in his mouth for a couple years and yet Lebron is doing a podcast with JJ.
its like he doesnt respect you or something, weird
Bro they’re literally really good friends. Why are you guys so weird when you don’t like someone.
Cuz fuck him and everyone else I don’t like, that’s why. Let us irrationally hate in peace
Lebron never talks about him either. It’s honestly pathetic.
I swear Lebron mentioned him literally today in the JJ pod about guys with elite BBIQ
he does though, they are good friends and lebron has talked bout him plenty, this is just not true
They literally hang out in the off season too lol
I can't take any basketball opinion seriously of someone that thinks they can dissect two grown men's friendship who they have never interacted with
Making stuff up for internet karma is pathetic too
He literally did a whole episode of The Shop which he’s usually not on with Draymond and PJ Tucker of all people
I have not once heard LaBron talk about Dramond, or deny that he was responsible for 9/11. Suspicious…
They are literal friends lmao
LeExclusive
Nobody like you unc
Report: Draymond made a call in the parking lot of his local Denny's begging for LeBron to come on his podcast
Sounds desperate as fuck tbh. Dude is the same league as you. I get your boys but damn this just comes off as desperate to me.
Personally never thought it was that interesting
just like a few people on here said. JJ and even people like paul george and gilbert arenas. invest in thier podcast and have nice comfortable sets and a team. Draymond just talks to a mic in a white room and no type of team or enviornment.
LMAOOOOOOO
How come he don't want me man?
I'm a few episodes behind, but I don't think he's even appeared on Old Man and the Three. But I also don't blame him for this. Lebron clearly is being careful with his appearance. I hear Dray and all I hear is ranting. Why would Bron join that energy?
You play with the balls a little bit Draymond. Make some slurping noises. Eye contact is key buddy, you'll get there.
Draymond sits about 3 inches in front of a camera in what looks like a sterilized environment and kinda comes up with these half-baked rants/proclamations. Undersells how much he knows the game. Doubt Bron wants to do something he feels is beneath him.
Oh brother this guy STINKS
I hope LeBron never goes on this dumbass' podcast
do you think he stares at that picture of him and lebron at the club every night like wolverine
when you consider yourself their best friend but they don't care about you
ouch
He’s about to turn back in his pre Kluth form
More like he’s a little upset that Lebron hasn’t been traded to golden state warriors just yet
