mello what was your first impression of jj the first time you met him hey jj you remember what i said though we just could not stand each other when we was in college what was your first impression when you met jj for the first time bro that clinic you put on that day it was it was unreal he make a three and he running down court doing all this stuff i was like running that [ __ ] again he can't play in this game i killed my 12 em just just just for you that's how much i cared about you and you decided to leave me smack the floor right all this i was like damn who is this like who the [ __ ] is this white boy right who is this like who is this who is school shooting like this that's when jj had the dark black hair like here we go it was like jailed up and all this the caesar is it's called a caesar cut i had i heard of chris and chris was obviously a big deal in the 2003 high school class and was coming into wake uh we played in cameron the first time we played wake forest was it yes the first time it was a saturday afternoon game um i had 23 points shawn dockery put the clamps on chris right now though do you have the stats in front of you why do you know final score the final score was 68 to 59 i'm not uh no so we play the game or whatever no issues i i told this pod i told this story on the podcast four years we'll tell it again no issues no we i gotta do it so no issues so then we play at wake at wake like a month later joel coliseum in winston-salem it's number three duke against number 15 wake forest we're like we're the number one team in the country i make a cut through the middle and i try to do the little trick where you like go underneath the guy's arm and act like you're getting held and you flare your arms or whatever and chris gets right in my face like that [ __ ] ain't working [ __ ] all this stuff like just cussing me out for no reason mama and daddy i would never say anything no such thing anyways so he gets right in my face and this is right in front of the wake forest bench so he's now oh they're all standing up and they're all chirping and i didn't slap him but i like took my hand and i put it in his face and i was like get the [ __ ] out of my face oh he just swung by yeah he pushed him out of the way can't do that can't do with the ref looking right at you he goes for like 30 they whoop our ass they storm the court whatever that summer we worked the jordan camp and it was super awkward for a couple days about live i forgot myself yes in santa barbara and i went up to him in the dorms after one of the sessions one day and i'll just like look man i got to be honest with you like i actually respect you because you're such a competitor i'm really sorry about you know whatever i did can we just can we just move on the thing is this guy [ __ ] for 11 years didn't move on he held it against me until we were teammates [Music] hey jj you remember what i said though i was like i was like i think we kept we ran the same play maybe like two or three times russell is fouled and ready if that's him he is gone you need a foul now and i was like i was like run that [ __ ] again he can't play in this game or something like that because you just brought this up and i had forgotten that you did this so when i fouled out you got you waved me off the [ __ ] court so for the rest of that series i had this moment in my mind i'm like when we [ __ ] when we win these next four games i'm gonna wave this [ __ ] off the court i wanted to do it so bad i was so i was so heated when you did that oh my god again i got my ass kicked that day so i just like i took it like a champ i'm i'm walking off the court going back to the bench i didn't think you saw it or you would remember that man that's crazy that's your real your real dick man your real thing um i told a story a while back about you and i playing in the mcdonald's game together in 2002 and then the following week playing in the jordan classic in dc and the gist of the story is we beat the [ __ ] out of the west we were teammates in the mcdonald's game we beat the [ __ ] out of the west and towards the end of the game i hit a couple threes so i had more points than you and i got the mvp and then we go to the jordan classic eclipse into the future i'm out of anthony small forwards to accuse the orange jj reddick shooting guard duke blue devils and you took like 25 shots and i took like four and afterwards somebody told me somebody told me yo melo was telling everybody he was gonna freeze you out that's a lie man that's a lot you did but going back to the the mcdonald's game you did you did hit that three at the end you did you you hit that three to give you the mvp i give you that i give you that andy's on the same team i give i give you that i i don't even think you i don't even think you played in the fourth quarter of that game and you ended up with like 19 and eight and then i got i mean i had like 15 i had like 15 at the end of the third and i scored whatever yeah um but the way you explained it to me though was which i didn't even put two and two together is like you're you're from dc i mean you're from that area right you're from baltimore so you basically were like i'm gonna i'm gonna shoot every time i touch them yeah so it was it was it was it was first of all i had nothing to do with you at at all for one um did i have the was my goal to win mvp at the mcdonald's game in new york yes uh but it had nothing to do with you um and then fast forward to the capitol classic game the jordan the jordan game we got to remember that was the first jordan game that was the first jordan game and i was home like i'm baltimore i got the whole baltimore city is is in the you know in the crowd so yeah i took it upon myself to shoot however many times it was it was i was happy it was good we was home but it was it was a good experience i'm sorry i'm sure somebody on social will will find that box score and post oh yeah it's everywhere you can find it [Music] but it really got bad my sophomore year when we played at duke and jj knows this story already they started a kid i think his name was patrick davidson is that his name that was his name patrick davidson is that i still remember his name they started a walk-on right and the kid just walked out on the court right duke is mr prestigious school they don't need any gimmicks they got jj reddick they started a walk all the time did you hear what i said i heard they started walk on at duke in this big game well it doesn't matter if davidson picks up fouls either i mean he's out there to be physical with chris paul the guy comes out there and he's like bumping into me every time we take the ball out he's boom getting into it and i mean i have come a long way back i was i was a real hot head right he doing all this bumping into me he started for like a minute and 30 seconds they took him out the game and the whole arena went crazy 216 in patrick davidson lee's gets a big hug from coach k i think the emotional job has been done and he ran off the court and hugged coach k [Laughter] to the point where 2006 like so that was my sophomore year i went in and played my rookie year and then that next summer coach k was the usa coach and that wasn't even cool at first because we were fresh off of that it wasn't it wasn't cool like that at first [Music] by the way i don't know if people know this you and i in back-to-back seasons have like two of the most efficient offensive seasons in college basketball history yo that that your senior year i remember you guys played texas and i drove up to that game number one versus number two it's duke versus texas as the road to the final four continues bro that clinic you put on that day it was it was unreal didn't know you were at that game yes i was sitting at me and my mom's and my grandma we drove up because i had committed to texas like a month or two before and this was like the first time i was going i was going to see you know coach barnes since like the recruit process so i'm like excited to go up there i'm like man we gotta we wearing black jerseys for the first time and he would you have 42 43 41 i think 41. and you wore black jerseys for the first time in the last time first and last jj jj mixed all the black out at ut he said no more after that game but that show you put on that's that whole year and the way you shot the basketball but it wasn't just how you shot it was just like you commanded the whole like everybody was at your mercy that year and and coming in that next year i was like man just watching all of these dudes do numbers like that i was like i got to be the next in line uh pj tucker in the second half he was he was on that texas team they had a great team lamarcus pj daniel gibson um so pj is talking [ __ ] to me the whole second half off the iron tucker and reddick and reddick and tucker's staring each other down you're right yeah you got to keep an eye on this right now it's not really a healthy situation out there and we're up like 25 30 points for most the second half so i get fouled i've got 39 and pj's still yapping at me the rest are telling us to shut up and i'm at the free throw line i'm like yo pj i'm like i'm about to have 40 and you're down 30. why are you talking [ __ ] oh that was a tough that was a tough job back home i was pissed i'm like i came up here for us to get 30 piece but yeah you was on fire that night [Music] i've told this story before i want to get joe's perspective on this because it was a little odd so i i come to the facility at 1201 am this is july 1st 2017. i show up to the facility at 1201 am and i'm getting a tour of the facility you know i see the offices i see the locker room i see the weight room and as we're like walking from the weight room through the court back to brian colangelo's office brett stops us and he starts running like two-man game with me and joe and we're in street club i have a blazer on i have a blazer on and we're like doing dho's you gotta dump being the best offense in the nba so yeah i'll be i do remember that we just got on the call we just started talking about some ideas of you know us playing together and it was cool um the other thing i would add to that story is i left you because you came in the meeting we we met after that little walkthrough we did on the court we met with david blitzer josh harris colangelo todd wright how much did i care about you i can't my 12th am just just just for you that's how much i cared about you and you decided to leave me thank you oh cool joe this i thought the same thing until i realized that 2 a.m is your normal waking hours that is true once i got to know you i was like it wasn't that big of a deal that he came that night i'll change a little bit but yeah i used to basically stay up all night then go to bed at 8 am and sleep all day you know i still wish we could have had some more time but he decided to leave us thank you but then a real funny story was jj stayed in college you remember this story when you was in orlando i know i think i know what story you're gonna do but uh i just got rookie of the year right i just got real kid a year jj comes to the league for orlando he said he's sitting on the bench and i go to the corner and i look back to him and say it's a whole lot different from college ain't it man the nba now he was riding the bench oh man you know now that i think about it first of all i wasn't even in uniform when you did that i was in a suit behind the bench they wouldn't even let me wear a uniform the first two months do you remember the first time i met you at duke all right i can't even talk to the team i i can see i had a lasting impact on you anyways i came to talk to you you were on the team

This makes me want someone to put together a mini series of clips from his show spliced with footage of the stuff they talking about happening, like The Last Dance

[u/1-Of-Everything]

KD: The abortion contract he made was fucked up

CP3: I hated him for the abortion contract

Melo: Dude’s manipulative as fuck for that abortion contract
