I love how confident Alex sounds. Asking good questions, he seems comfortable in his own skin.

Shoutout to Alex and Olivier Sarr, we played at the same club in Toulouse, France when we were kids ! They're the first guys from here to get to the NBA yet 1st Draft Pick it's crazy ! Big Shoutout !

What I appreciate the show is that it is no hate. Just respect and sharing stories. Seems like a lot of other basketball forums is about bringing down other players/organizations

Boy oh boy, where do I even begin. Paul... honey, pookie bear, my PG-13. I have loved you ever since I first laid my eyes on you. The way you handle that ball making any defender guarding you touch the floor. From your silky smooth jumpshots to those ground-rattling windmill dunks. I would do anything for you. I have watched you for 14 seasons and I'm still hoping that I can watch you for 99 more so that I would never have to see you retire. You grew up loving fishing with your dad, but the flame you had for basketball grew so much stronger, and you took it and used it, never giving up hope through the hard times that you went through. You're a great man, husband and even father, hell... I would even call you dad. I dread the day that I would have to watch you tie those Nike PG 6's for the last time. I would sacrifice my arm and leg if it only meant that it would put a smile on your face. I can still remember the day that you were in that scrimmage for team USA and chased down Harden for that block. I still remember so clearly how you landed, and every single time, I still break down into tears. My heart was broken into a million pieces seeing how you were being brought off the court, to this day, I still can't forgive James for that. Then that fateful day came when you returned and dropped 13 points on that Heat team. I rewatched all of your highlights from Indiana, that poster dunk on the Birdman himself, and that ice cold half court shot against the pistons. I still remember the times that you matched up with the Heat in the playoffs and single-handedly brought LeBron and his superteam to a 6 or 7 game series. You later left for Oklahoma and a tear left my eye but I couldn't help but be happy for you after getting 3rd in MVP voting against the likes of prime Giannis. Even in your latest season with the Clippers, I watched the game against the Hornets where you dropped that 41 as well as that clutch 3 in the playoffs. You completely stood on business! You have eternally changed the game and will be cemented as the smoothest to ever do it. And now that you're getting older, you are still the GOAT, my GOAT. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Paul Clifton Anthony George

When you think about it, the French national team will be probably very good in the future, like 4-5 years from now, Wemby, Sarr, Bilal, Risacher, Nolan Traoré, Tidjjane and I might forgot some.

About the euro players playing "pro" at 14, just a few precisions: When young players play for big professional club they dont play with the pro A-team, every club competes in different age classes championships. If you're good like Sarr you gonna play with the upper age class and then at any point the pro A-team can come to pick u up like Rubio at 15, Luka and Wemby at 16 but its pretty rare: if you play impactful minutes with the pros at 18yo, on the last year before your draft eligibility that mean you're already a good NBA level prospect (like Risacher or Salaun this year). The essential difference with most US high schools is the quality of the structure, the schooling schedule, everything is organized to allow them to train like pro. That said recent US Programs like Montverde or OTE now also provide very good structure to develop young players, if it wasnt the case Sarr wouldnt have come to OTE.

I love this new wave of nba players being part of the media its just amazing, no stupid narratives just people talking bout ball

RIP Bill Walton

AND WITH THE FIRST PICK IN THE 2024 NBA DRAFT THE ATLANTA HAWKS SELECT ALEX SARR!!!!!

Reed Shepard is low key smart. Dude knows how to handle an interview. And dude stays true.

i like the second question by reed. i had anxiety around fitting in and being apart of the team after graduating from college with no work experience getting into corporate america in a senior role.

2 in 1 with Alex Sarr and Reed Sheppard, Yessir 🔥

Reed Sheppard is my glorious king 😍

I thought Alex Sarr would've had a heavy French accent, he's essentially a native English speaker

Podcast P have the best guest appearances! Giving us appearances we never know we needed time after time 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Great interviews and appreciated giving GG some love. If he is able to find his fit with Ja, Bane and Jaren along with getting the right big.. ouu wee!

Paul George is a true basketball virtuoso, known for his electrifying plays, smooth shooting, and defensive prowess. His dedication to the game and resilience through challenges make him an inspiration both on and off the court. Whether it's sinking a clutch three-pointer or locking down opponents, Paul George consistently showcases his immense talent and passion for the game.

Great episode sarr and reed gon be sum dawgs💪🏿💪🏿

Bro English really good 👍🏾

Haven’t even seen or heard anything about these top picks because of the bronny coverage and i watch espn everyday 😂 thank you for doing this! Glad to know a little more about these guys

Get Rob Dillingham on here or Wemby, that would be dope.

Idk if Sarr going to be a star but them French boys are different !! He atleast going to work on his game & be in the league a long time

50/50/90 and a 42 vert 2+ plus steals at a power 5, draft him. crazy efficient

“Damn the whole family…..” 😂😂😂😂😂

A national team with Wemby, Gobert, and Sarr would be covering the entire half court with their collective wingspan lol

Paul you have the best NBA podcast by far brother! Much respect!

That boy Paul getting a free scouting report....😂😂😂

WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO GET Zaccharie Risacher #1 on the pod!! Thoughts??

Really interesting how Sarr’s response to how he envisioned his future was team first then individual. Goes to show how much being individually driven can only take you so far in terms of winning championships. Its not pointing out anything new, but PG’s response to that shows how the new generation’s mentality is changing. It definitely reminds me of soccer players who always talk about winning the Champions League or World Cup and never really talking about winning the Balon D’Or. Individual accolades will come after winning collectively and that’s something Im glad is changing in the NBA. I just hope my Wizards can turn things around 😅

Reed will 100% be in the 3pt contest. His player comp imo is like a klay Thompson with added playmaking ability

Loving the podcast❤❤❤

PG u deserve all the best

Hopefully him and Wemby can restore balance back in the NBA with bringing back BIG MEN!

Pas mal non, c’est Français 🇫🇷

Lets talk about OTE draft success this is getting nice

The difference between overseas players and us in America they chasing wins and we chasing highlights and how much money we can get. Simple as that 🤷🏾‍♂️

EI MR. PG 13! BRING BACK UR INDIANA / OKC FORM AND DOMINATE WITH MAXEY AND EMBIID IN PHILLY! YOUR STILL A TOP DAWG IN THE CURRENT NBA COME ON MR PG 13

Yall need to get Angel Reese on the Pod she’d be an interesting character

Hey Paul at 33:00 did you pay for travels, hotels etc or did your agent? Or who paid since this was before nil deals

Pg need to play with trae and dejounte

Wait wait wait P talk about the Mavs and how they putting on the clinic... Gave y'all that whoop whoop

I’m glad you guys are shinning light on the REAL lottery guys , First Take is horrible at that

Reed Shepherd the next John Stockton

I’m 6’6-6’7 but the doctor told my parents I was gonna be a 7 footer lol. So glad I’m not 😭😭

Love Zbo, great great episode

P look like he’s a second grade teacher

can someone please let me know where i can get the slides that P is wearing

Hope the best for sarr!

Reed the Rocket

Where is my glorious Reed

Shout-out Jackie man, always the best vibes, especially when it comes to the rooks.

Jeff Teague said he saw him play. He said he's definitely not Wemby. Not even Chet. And might not be Bol Bol.

Interview Rob next

What’s up brothers 👆

PG, I know the Clippers aren’t offering you what they should be and that the 76ers are offering you a lot But please don’t leave Please

alex is so french in the way that he sells himself, doesn't know how to be american cocky i hope he succeeds 🔥

50% from 3 is actually insane

next WEMBY?

Sarr reminds me of amare stoudimire

Reed sheppard sounds like Austin reaves

Went straight to the Sheppard interview. He knows the game

Be ready for ALEX SARR 🔥🔥🔥🇫🇷🇫🇷

Seem like a good character dude

ATL PLEASE JUST TAKE SARR

what is it with this "aks him" instead of "ask him"? Where does that come from?

Once again the #goatdad Lavar Ball knew the game

The faster and slower part had me dead. I love PG but sure Alex had no idea what you were saying, bro.

They Hawks had better draft Sarr! He has crazy talent that is just now blossoming. Sarr wants to be a superstar and will be in 2 or 3 years. They way he runs the floor and handles the ball as a true 7-footer is very impressive. He takes it to the hole like no other player in this draft.

You better get Uno on one of these episodes man !!

“What’s Varsity”?! That question alone shows you the difference in talent amongst European teens!

As a Clippers fan, I've come to this conclusion There are too many supa-star players on the Clippers Westbrook or Harden has to go, and if P.G. goes too for more money, it's understandable It should be Kwahi and another Supa-star with great role players, hopefully young players like Bones who are hungry to win. Mavs, Celtics, Nuggets, Wolves, etc. have players that play their roles well... Re-watching the Mavs and Clippers series, where the "Stars" didn't take control of the game or take more shots, is just sad...

nice

paul george, you’ve always been my favorite player, where ever you go, i’ll be a fan of, but please don’t go to philly, i don’t want to have to root for joel embiid

Bro you should make a podcast with mohamed dabone

Wesh Alexandre il parle français ? Son accent kainry c'est Une dingue

Reed is going to win ROTY. He'll be elite

Just so y’all know the next guest is Zach Randolph

The white homie got the coldest fitteds in the fitted game💯 give him his flowers

get rob dillingham on the pod

when Reed say "naw ill get the suit" after PG suggested mom pick his color or something. PG def dont fuck with this kid anymore

Where reed

PG sign with the Mavs this off season, be smart

As a Hawks fan, we will screw this up.......Just pick Sarr @ 1........

He sounds n have a game just like Austin reaves but only difference is Austin went un drafted

He has the potential to be a KG, Jonathan Isaac, and Bam Adebayo hybrid.

I’m sold on this kid as a hawks fan with should pass on bronny James with the 1st and take Alex sarr

Serious Question…PG where is your white tee from?

Real players know Luka is slow af 😭🤣

Welcome to the washington wizards!!!!

When does Moreno Valley get Clipper courts? Kawhi a home town hero, come on!

Why PG think he should get more money than Kawhi?

Come miami pg, leave a legacy

Alex give me wemby vibes

Most European teams have academy. Example Real Madrid have high school attached to teach teenagers while they practice & play with adults.

PG come to Chicago

Gg goat

Pops from Senegal. That’s where the height comes from.

When kawhi coming

These interviews could be better man. Love the Pod but damn

Jackie’s picks horrible!! “You ain’t been watchin’ the games Lord!” 🤣
