[NBA Today] Jeremy Lin and Danny Green breakdown why James Harden’s step back three is still effective
Fun fact, they won a championship together
Fun fact. Jeremy Lin is an NBA Champion.
And Melo hates that.
Jeremy Lin even has an entire highlight reel devoted to his 52 seconds of work in the 2019 NBA finals. He put up 0pts on 0/0 shooting with 0 TO, 0 steals, 0 assists, and a +2 rating
He has infinite more +/- than Melo
that +2 won them championship.
“let me create drama out of nothing this morning”
r/nba not make everything Jeremy Lin does about Melo challenge
And TMac made an nba finals while Vince and Melo never did
Melo 100% doesn’t care lol
It was really hard to tell these two apart on the court.
Are sports analysts allowed to analyze sports like this?
Not enough GOAT talk
He just didn’t want it enough
Sports analysis posted and all the comments are jokes about this. Wonders why sports analysis defaults to being click bait and dramatic.
Maybe if it wasn’t such a novel thing
It’s because this is what trends on social media. The media follows what social media talks about, not the other way around. Like every post on here is jokes and shit talking. It’s what the people want. If people wanted great analysis ESPN wouldn’t have died and became what it is. ESPN didn’t change for the hell of it lol. They changed because of the change in the media landscape. Same with MtV. No one was watching music videos anymore when they had YouTube to watch anything on demand and iPods and Napster.
Make analysis content popular and not shit talking constantly and watch them bring it back. It won’t happen because everyone on here just wants to compare players and act like basketball is reality TV.
The PeopleTM ever taking responsibility for the media choices they make and how they voted with their dollars and clicks and eyeballs? Nah fuck that, it’s the Elite Establishment’sTM fault.
Yeah, this isn’t to defend the direction ESPN or MTV went, but it’s not like those networks were in it for the love of sports or music videos. Same could be said about movie studios. They all have shareholders and they all want infinite growth and profits over everything else.
ESPN and MTV took the easy way out and catered, and eventually crated, to the lowest denominator.
I love this and this is really great. That said we don’t have to pretend there is no other real analysis going on. Amazon Prime Steve Nash does this a lot. And so does Kenny. Now it might not make the hot YouTube video or reddit clip but if you watch a whole segment of Inside the NBA half time show or Amazon Prime half time or post game you will see an analysis with examples like this.
He’s wizards-only for now but John Wall also does an excellent job providing analysis whenever he’s on the broadcast. These clips tend not to get posted to social media much but the analysis is there for people who want to watch it.
Yea this post has less than 100 comments in 6 hours. A random Stephen A. Smith clip will get hundreds of comments immediately. They put out what people want to engage with and this sub is no exception.
Yep. Everybody hates yelling talking heads, but for some reason the companies that have more information than ever about what people tune into, keep parking truckloads of money in their driveways.
Hatewatching is still watching, and it makes no difference to them why people tune in. I remember some radiohost or another saying that the most important part of the show was the tease of what they’ll say after the commercial break. The more ridiculous the better, because people would stay tuned in to hear how: ”after the break i will tell you why it’s obvious that Bronny is more important to Lakers than Luka”.
This was a straight to Reddit clip…cut from the show, and from Youtube, and from IG, etc.
It’s out there but it has 1/10th of the views comparted to videos of teenagers calling slumping players trash and GOAT debates
I’m liking this duo of bb breakdown
Yea I didnt know DG was on media but I have seen some Jeremy Lin clips which I liked. Green does a good job as support while Lin breaks down the play
Danny Green has been working with the Lakers broadcast team for a couple seasons now.
As a live commentator he’s not been very good but on analysis like this I think he’s been quite insightful
He’s moonlighted on a few Spurs games too, definitely angling to jump in as a color commentator for one of his former teams when the current guys retire.
He’s recently CM for the Lakers this season and he’s been awful. Seems much better suited for an analyst role than commentary.
You know I had to do it one time lol
Great chemistry
I know he’s a Harvard grad but man is Jeremy Lin a phenomenal communicator
Thought he was a little stiff last year but he’s really getting more used to it.
Everyone’s needs some time to get into the groove of things. Like Tom Brady his first year vs this year is night and day.
Instructions unclear, incorporated “piss missile” into more sentences at work and have been ostracized.
Sounds like we need to get you a job in baseball
Acting the part with imposter syndrome versus being the part
Of course, he was just counteracting the point that Lin is a phenominal communicator when he was struggling here from nerves
Hey same with UNC boys. They’re kinda boring but all of the commentators from there are good. I like VC too
Mhmm!! The way he breaks stuff down in a way that even most casuals can understand is the true
Cliffus Jiggrin
I think his time on YouTube (i remember them videos with Ryan Higa) following the Linsanity era when he was still playing really helped him develop getting communication through effectively on camera
For his YouTube work, I wish he’d use a basic lav mic because the audio quality doesn’t match the level of analysis
I wish he would step his hair game back up.
He has some sweet jackets or whatever those are called (I’m a Spanish speaker).
He was at sportscenter a couple of days ago and he was wearing a white one with the neck things being dark blue.
Yeah, he’s always had his own style.
He is a phenomenal communicator, but Harvard grad doesn’t really mean anything.
Jeremy is awesome , he had another breakdown for Luka and it’s also very interesting and fascinating to listen
That just about confirms that Harvard has the best alumni combination of basketball and football with Jeremy and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
So well said… second time I’ve seen him breakdown player moves and it’s so well done it makes the move coachable after seeing him.
He’s not very good in game. He’s really dry for the most part and not additive. He’s kinda just there
He’s a good analyst, but every time I hear him as a color commentator he takes me out of the game.
The troll at the end was awesome
If Harden pulls this off in the ASG I will nut.
Uhm… I don’t think Harden will make the ASG this year.
kikimaru024 forever edged
Looks like JLin is having fun, love that for him.
Why the fuck are they breaking down sports on this sports analysis show? Isnt there some type of off-the-court controversy they need to be talking about???
Speaking of the Cavs vs Knicks.. Who is better LeBron or MJ and the answer is MJ because 6-0.
smh they didn’t even mention the mvp race
My head
WHERES MY PUNTER TAKING HIS SHIRT OFF
IF I WANTED TO LEARN SOMETHING ID TURN ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL GODDAMNIT
I have ESPN on all day unless there’s a game on another channel… yeah I live in Argentina and I’d rather have that than our local politicians and or/‘futbol’ (soccer).
Is not like I’m constantly watching, is just half my day with it being there at work for background noise.
Anyway, they do have NBA today (where this clip is from) and they always have some people doing this kind of analysis, and it’s really good like in this one when they have recent players explaining things they were seeing just some months ago. Same with NFL today or whatever is named, they do some great analysis too of plays and players.
Of course even in those shows they are just a small part of the time, the rest will have the usual same people with things like “IS THIS A GENERATIONAL TALENT/DINASTY” and rage bait crap like that.
Right? ESPN actually educating viewers? What is this garbage? These guys will be off the air by end of the week
When do they get to the Dallas cowboys???? wtf?!
Aww, the shoutout to Danny Green’s defensive prowess has me feeling warm and fuzzy. I would watch these two break down basketball all day.
Didn’t need to say “was” tho lol
?? Is he still out there locking dudes down?
I mean Jeremy Lin couldn’t even get a shot off during this
Awesome content.
When the fuck did BSPN hire basketball analysts and give them airtime on basketball analysis?
Lin dressed like a car valet for some reason
“Hey America, we callin J-Lin ‘The Valet’ from now on cuz he always got the keys to the game! haHA!”
Honestly, sounds like it could be a valid interaction. 🤣
One step away from Kevin “the servant” durant lol
Shang chi cosplay
Raptors Legends.
And a ring
Both of them
Lin:1 Melo:0
lol
How does this affect Lebron’s legacy?
You uploaded this video in the worst possible way, this shouldn’t be allowed.
No idea why this is downvoted. A horizontal video turned into a vertical video and then shared on a platform that mostly uses horizontal videos.
If I go full screen on it the actual video is less than 10% of my screen.
Yeah, I think people don’t realize what I’m even talking about and just downvote out of ignorance because it’s criticism. It’s a landscape video that the poster crammed into a vertical portrait frame.
This is all very Reddit. Because it’s now sitting on positive karma again. Just because I explained what you meant. Which should be pretty obvious to anyone taking even a second to think about it.
Give it one more turn and it’d be an animated emote.
Lmao you guys will bitch about anything.
“Shouldn’t be allowed” 🤓
It’s dramatic but I meant like a filter or something not ban the person’s post
Since when did networks start allowing sports analysis?
Would like to see more stuff like this. Very informative.
That was a really good break down. More Jeremy Lin please.
probably two of the highest BBIQ, well spoken player-turned-analysts there are. Both so likable in front of camera.
I hope prime will get him
Man I totally love a widescreen video cropped to fit 1⁄4 of my screen
Does anyone think Jeremy Lin has potential career in coaching? I think this analyst role is putting his IQ on full display. Giving me JJ Redick vibes
DG is better as a studio guy, but we’ve been trying him on commentary during games and it has not been going well
Cause it’s a travel?
Cool, but how does this affect LeBron’s legacy?
aside from being already squared to the basket in this stepback, Harden like Luka isn’t really bothered by any contest, even inviting the foul on the arm/elbow sometimes.
you lean your shoulder the wrong way and its a three. obviously we know they’re the best players on the planet but its still surprising sometimes how offensively talented nba players are
James no longer converting when he gets in to the key and the semicircle under the basket. Heard on a podcast he’s at 23%, so better to play him tight outside.
