Gary Payton and Mikal Bridges

The Young Man and the Three

06/03/22 • 91 min

If you're an NBA fan, then you know exactly who we're talking about when the words "The Glove" are uttered. That's right, on the pod today is NBA Hall of Famer and one of the greatest defensive players to step on the court, Mr. Gary Payton. He discusses his career in full detail - from making the jump from a draft disappointment to an elite player, his journey to try and win that elusive ring, his presence on and off the court and what made him such a special talent. He also breaks down his partnership with Hennessy and their "Unfinished Business" campaign to help small businesses as part of the NBA 75th Anniversary. Now, you would think that's enough, but there's even more great conversation to cover as NBA correspondent Mikal Bridges joins the program as well. He starts everything off by addressing the Suns devastating playoff exit to the Mavs and tries to make sense of what went wrong. Then, after the Payton interview, he returns for the OM3 draft, which focuses on the "Top 5 dishes served at chain restaurants". It's a can't miss double shot on the OM3.

Luka Dončić and Alex Caruso

The Young Man and the Three

03/18/22 • 70 min

Luka. Dončić. Need we say more? While watching him on the court often leaves us all wondering "is there anything this guy doesn't do??", there IS one thing that he hasn't done that much of at all. Interviews. Well, at least not like the kind you'll hear on this episode of the OM3. Luka joins JJ and Tommy for a sit down discussion and quickly shows us all that there is much more to him than just his incredible basketball skills. Displaying a sharp, sarcastic wit and humor, Dončić dives in to several topics, including the Mavs red-hot run over the last half of the season, his matchups with the game's other elite players, comparing NBA players to EuroLeague stars, his days of hooping for Real Madrid, and much more. It's a special discussion with someone you certainly don't hear a lot from so don't miss this one. But, that's not all. In fact there's much more that follows as new OM3 correspondent Alex Caruso joins the pod to catch us up on his injury, the Bulls march into the playoffs, and also participates in the Top 5/Draft, which focuses on the 'best March Madness plays that you would have liked to have witnessed in the arena'. So, bottom line, it's a power packed episode of the OM3. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Chris Paul 2

The Young Man and the Three

02/04/22 • 85 min

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.

Ben Stiller

The Young Man and the Three

04/28/22 • 71 min

After an incredible and historic OM3 run of NBA guests, things get turned around a bit on this episode of the Old Man & the Three. The guest is still outstanding in every way - that doesn't change - but his job description is a little different in that he's one of Hollywood's finest actors and comedians, as well as an award winning producer and director. Ladies and gentleman, the OM3 welcomes Ben Stiller. After a long wait, JJ and Tommy finally get to sit down with the comedy giant to discuss his career, as well as his love for basketball and the Knicks, what it's like working with the icons of Hollywood, his best and worst performances, his current projects, and so much more.

The Young Man and the Three

10/06/22 • 102 min

Today's episode is special. Not only do we have Washington Wizards star, Bradley Beal. But we're also joined by comedian, writer, director Hasan Minhaj.

Our first interview with Bradley, has had quite the summer and we cover a lot with him. Topics include: his new contract extension with The Washington Wizards, why he chose to stick around with The Wizards and how he believes they can get back to winning in Washington, discussing the definition of a "superstar" in this league, how he's grown as a player, how he feels about playing with Kristaps Porziņģis, marveling at the deep 3-pointers taken by Stephen Curry, Trae Young and Damian Lillard, the media's unfair criticisms of Russell Westbrook and the misconception of him as a teammate, how Brad has developed and grown as a leader, and much more.

Then we transition to a very deep and philosophical conversation with Hasan Minhaj. Topics include: Hasan and JJ's love of their minivans, how he went about producing his new Netflix stand-up special, "The King's Jester", Hasan's interest in what metric of success NBA players value the most, how JJ and Hasan deal with the aggregation machine and the pros and cons of going 'viral', a very sincere conversation about male friendships, why Stephen Curry is the best 'performer' in The NBA, what NBA players and other celebrities owe their fans, Hasan on what actual winning means to him and so much more.

We're excited to share this one and hope you enjoy!
