Willie Green (Coaching Series #3) Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

Some people are just made for certain jobs. They meet the criteria so well that it just seems like a perfect fit. To go a step further, often times others who are close to this person can see the scenario playing out even before the individual can see it him or herself. And if you were to ask JJ directly, he'd likely admit that he knew Willie Green belonged in the NBA coaching ranks probably before Willie did. In this third installment of the OM3 Coaching Series, you find out how it all came to be. Going back through the years when JJ and Willie used to play hypothetical NBA GM's, it was pretty obvious that Green had a place in the game after his playing days were over. And that's just what he's done, as he's weathered the New Orleans Pelicans through a potentially disastrous 1-12 start to the season, all the way to a potential 'Play-In Tournament" appearance. Along the way he has garnered a whole lot of respect, admiration, and a few "Coach of the Year" rumblings as well. Pretty impressive for a guy who seems to be just getting started.

Pat Beverley Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

On the court, there are players who bring it... and then there are players who BRING it. Pat Beverley is one of those players. Backed by his tenacious defense - and an equally tenacious personality - Beverley is widely recognized as a premier defender in the NBA. But that aggressive approach isn't just limited to the court. In this spectacular in-your-face interview, you will quickly realize that when Pat Beverley wants to say something, he's going to say it - damn the consequences. The reason he can do this? Well, that's easy...the man can back it up. Join JJ and Tommy as they head straight into the storm with "Mr. 94 Feet". Trust us when we say, you won't be disappointed.

Matt Barnes and Mikal Bridges Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

It's not often in life that we're lucky enough to get something good for no cost at all. But here at the OM3, that rule doesn't really apply. Take today's episode for instance... it has not one but two great guests, and all you have to do is listen. Leading things off is very close friend and former teammate - as well as OG pod host - Matt Barnes. Now, it's no secret to anyone that Matt speaks his mind and takes no prisoners, and this discussion is certainly no different. Imagine yourself sitting at a bar and listening in to a conversation between NBA players in the next booth... that's the vibe for this one, no doubt. Then, as if that wasn't enough, JJ and Tommy welcome in the OM3's brand new correspondent - Mikal Bridges of the Phoenix Suns. He joins the show for some playoff talk, a little music discussion, and the Top 5 Draft. And if there was ever a draft that went off the rails in a hurry, this one is it. The finger is pointed at you, Mr Bridges. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Show notes

It's another can't miss episode of the Old Man & the Three as the past meets the present. How is that possible? Well, the pod tips off with the present as JJ and Tommy welcome in OM3 correspondent and newly traded Tyrese Haliburton. He breaks down the entire deadline process, what it's like acclimating to his new home with the Indiana Pacers, the all-star weekend festivities, and several other hot topics. Then, the show digs deep into the past with a spectacular interview with NBA legend Charles Oakley. He discusses his new book "The Last Enforcer", which chronicles his career as one of the toughest and most loyal players in NBA history. He gives a taste of several stories from the book, his feelings on the different eras of basketball, social media, Michael Jordan, and so much more.

Jayson Tatum Feb 18, 2022

Show notes

If you're looking for a breather from all the great interviews lately, you might want to up your game a bit because the OM3 train just keeps rolling. JJ and Tommy celebrate the Old Man & the Three's 100th episode with yet another spectacular discussion with one of the game's very best - Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics. Jayson actually visited the show way back in August for the pod's 4th episode, and while he's still the same outstanding player he was then, a lot has changed with him, the Celtics, and the NBA overall during that time. Jayson really digs into and breaks down some hot button topics, while also displaying the attributes that make him such a special player on and off the court. Oh, and there's also some talk on the Duke brotherhood and where the program might be headed now that Coach K is leaving. Don't miss this great conversation... and start getting ready for the next 100.

Marcus Smart (Live Show from the Crystal Ballroom in Boston) Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

Let's face it... The OM3 live shows are fire. They're a perfect combination of great guests, great atmosphere, and a whole lot of fun. But the unfortunate aspect of having a live show in a specific city, is that only a select few get to experience it first hand. But thankfully, the boys always remember to hit the record button for these special occasions, and we're happy to share the latest OM3 event that took place this past Wednesday, live from the Crystal Ballroom in Boston. Marcus Smart of the hometown Celtics joins the crew for an amazing night of laughs, a bit of trash talk, some brutal honestly, and good ol' fashioned hoops x's and o's. It was a fantastic night on every level, and you can catch it all right here without getting out of your seat. Enjoy.

Desmond Bane Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

We've seen the story before right? An underrated player comes out of college, somehow hits another level in the pros, and then surprises everyone en route to becoming an NBA star. But what about the guy who hardly got a sniff in the recruiting game coming out of HIGH SCHOOL? Quite simply, that basketball story usually ends right there. Well, don't tell that to Desmond Bane, because getting overlooked coming out of high school only lit his fire to succeed even more. After paving his way through a solid career at TCU, he has taken the proverbial 'next level' leap in the NBA and has become a bonafide force for the Memphis Grizzlies. Teaming with Ja Morant and company, they've got the Grizzlies well on their way to creating some major havoc in the playoffs. Listen in as Desmond discusses his rise to the top, his struggles with the recruiting game, how his body type is the antithesis of the typical NBA shooter, whether or not he believes the Grizzlies can win a chip this season, and so much more.

Chris Paul 2 Feb 04, 2022

Show notes

So... last week when Draymond Green visited the show, there were an awful lot of superlatives being thrown around. And why not? It was an incredible interview that was certainly deserving of high praise. Well, if this week proves anything, it’s that you can never have enough superlatives when it comes to the OM3, because joining the show this week is yet another surefire first ballot Hall of Famer, Chris Paul. And even though CP3 and JJ are the closest of friends and have gone through just about everything together on the court and off, this discussion has Chris breaking new ground on several topics. To say this conversation was spectacular on every level is an understatement. Once again, it’s a can’t miss interview on the OM3, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

Draymond Green Jan 28, 2022

Show notes

Hype. It's all around us - in sports, in business, and generally all throughout our everyday lives. But seldom does the anticipation of an event or product live up to its potential, often leaving us disappointed or wanting more. This... is not one of those times. In what can already be pointed to as one of the top interviews ever on the Old Man & the Three, JJ and Tommy welcomed in the one and only Draymond Green for a spectacular discussion on basketball, life, and everything in between. Never one to shy away from his opinion or passion, Draymond tells it only as he can, leaving zero room for doubt or misinterpretation. It's a unique conversation that you will surely enjoy and appreciate just as much as his game on the court.

Kevin Love Jan 21, 2022

Show notes

Let's be honest, one of the aspects that makes the interviews on the OM3 so great is the fact that JJ and Tommy often cause the guest to dig a little deeper to answer questions and roll a bit out of their comfort zone. But somehow when Kevin Love joins the podcast, there's no need to try and pull info out of him or force delicate subjects into the mix because... well, he does that all by himself. And as usual, this interview is no different. Kevin displays his typical intelligence, humor, sarcastic wit, and basic down to earth nature as he digs into his current season with the Cavs and opens up about the team's past, present, and future. Oh, he also sticks around for the OM3 draft as they break down the worst things you can do on an airplane. Hmmm... I sense a campaign for OM3 correspondent coming on.
