If you're an unabashed Tim Duncan fan like me (who also likes RJ), this is a watch.

That was hilarious :lol: Tim's sense of humor has always been underrated.

The promo for this was funny as well

RJ was a role player when he played so that isn't a hot take tbh

I'm always torn on how to treat RJ's decision to keep his personal life out of the media. I like it in some ways, but I do wonder if it limits his ability to comment on certain issues. Some people might not take him as seriously as a result.

Tim Duncan instantly gets 2 extra 1D6 charisma rolls and is face of the league, if he had that hairstyle while he was still playing.

When I read the title, I was very confused, because I thought how the hell Richard Jefferson interviewed Tim Duncan in the 80s. I really thought this would be very old video, because I though we were talking about Larry O'Brien, the person who passed away over 30 years ago. And I was like, oh... the trophy is the ''interviewer'', I am stupid...

Crazy but Real Fact:

The Watergate burglars tried to break into Larry O'Brien's office. Still the only pro-sports commissioner to be involved in a presidential resignation.

What do you mean? The rumors that he’s gay?

First time I hear about such rumors, but I never care about these people personal lives, I just watch the games and turn off the broadcast, but yes, I would be lying if I said his speech and body language does not resemble at least what it is a very old gay stereotype, at least in my maybe stupid brain opinion. I did assume he could be gay, but is that still an issue in America? Also, maybe thats just how he talks, the assumption is frankly skin deep. America maybe not the most progressive country in some aspects, but I think it was one of the very first that tackled that problem, do they still have gay hatred epidemic? I get these people never disappeared, but I naively assumed America got rid of that mostly.

Killer first episode, how does he even top it :lol: I still say some Conan O'Brian vs Norm Macdonald stuff top this, but I see the RJ potential :lol:

P.S. Conan O'Brian fan, not the pod, but the show. I am very sad we don't have it anymore. Out of all these show hosts we have ever had in various countries, Conan was easily the best in my opinion. How was Kimmel ever on TV, really that was the best cast of them all?
