Any thoughts on traditional media as we're surrounded by a lot of reporters versus new media? I am traditional media and new media. So you guys have one of the biggest shows started by NBA players. How does the money compare to the NBA? After basketball, I am making NBA money. They're like, why don't you do a video with Jester? It's literally the first time we've ever been live. Keep going. Oh my God! Shout out to the NBA for letting us do this. Oh, how's it going? I wasn't expecting that.
1:04Yo, NBA, that was sick.
1:24All right, we're at All-Star Weekend in San Francisco. We're about to shoot a crazy video. There's thousands of high school kids outside. They have no idea that Jimmy's here about to surprise them, that Steph Curry is coming. It's going to be a massive shoot. It's for Jimmy's next video where the best pro athletes go against average Joes. His last one was Cristiano Ronaldo. Got like 200, 300 million views. I think this video is going to be even bigger. Let's see how it goes. Jimmy, what's the shoot today? We're at the gym that Steph just built. And we're going to have him compete against the number one shooter at the school and see who can make more threes.
1:59There's a lot of pressure on this high school kid. But we're going to give him a minute and step probably like 30 seconds to shoot shots. So even it out. And then hopefully, fingers crossed, I'm trying to get LeBron James during the All-Star weekend. LeBron, my boy. Come on, man. What is it about the NBA and YouTube? It feels like more players have podcasts, have YouTube channels. The days of going through a network is kind of archaic. These NBA players' fans watch YouTube. Why not speak to them directly on YouTube? I feel like he's going to the bathroom for us. One half. How's it going? What are we doing?
2:36Do you watch a lot of Mr. Beast videos? Yes, and my six-year-old son is... I need a video for him to use. Oh, yeah? Why don't you bring him out? Yeah, well, we'll FaceTime him whenever you're...
2:49Can-Can? Are you with your brother? Hey, buddy, can I introduce you to somebody? You know who that is? How's it going?
3:00Don't drop it. Cannon, get the phone boy. Who's that? Mr. Beast. How's it going man? Your dad's about to compete against someone in a video. It's gonna be fun. Yeah, when it's done, I'm gonna let you watch it and see who wins, all right? He just wanted to say hi. Yeah, thank you for watching the videos. Have you been watching Beast Games? No. You love it? Yeah. All right, all right. Nice meeting you little man. Appreciate it. No problem. Through the phone. That was cute. Isn't that cool? He dropped the phone. Here's the phone for the shot. Thank you sir. Appreciate that man.
3:41Jamie, what's Steph doing right now? For transitions and stuff, we just, you know, sometimes need the athletes in front of a green screen. So just making sure we get that so we have it. Always do it at the start, because if not, you'll forget. Did you guys see our Ronaldo video? I haven't, yeah. We basically get like seven of the best athletes in the world. We put them all in one video. It's pretty cool. So this shot right here, you're probably going to be standing next to Serena Williams and a bunch of other people, just so you have context. I ain't got the Ronaldo skills. Steph, are you trying to make more YouTube videos these days?
4:14Yeah, we're starting to do a little bit more behind the scenes content stuff. and pretty much every activation you do, like having some complimentary content with you. Yeah. Dude, everyone in the world knows you. You're the GOAT. Why make videos? Like Jordan doesn't do social media. Honestly, it's just the fact that even like me facing some of my son just now with this abuse, like you realize they see part of you, but just normalize a little bit of the stuff that I take for granted. Yeah. Because you live this, and people want to see it all. I still keep some stuff private and have my space. This is your videographer?
4:49He followed you on. That's amazing. Is this a Steph video right here? Okay. Good stuff. That's that vlog. I loved your Kevin Hart vlog from four years ago, man. That was awesome. I remember that. I used to work at YouTube, man. I mean, love watching your stuff. You don't play for low stakes. You bring it. Well, if you win, we'll give that money, 100 grand or whatever charity you want. And if he wins, we'll give it to the kid. It'll be cool. Big rule, though. You got to try. Yeah, you have to try. I'm super good. Yeah. I figured. Oh, shoot. What's up? Yeah, I walk right by you, dude. What's up, dog?
5:23I'm moving, conspicuous. How about I say it? How are you? I'm good. Nice to meet you, too. How's it going? Big fan, brother. Thank you. What brings you out here? I went to school out here, so I'm just here celebrating the community, trying to jump in wherever I can jump in. That's right. You said you was going to show up? Yeah, yeah. Of course. Of course. This is like my dream. Like, Jimmy Disney had to pay me. I'm just happy. This is like my favorite player, so pretty excited. You film with some of the biggest celebrities, athletes. Do you ever get nervous? Yes, I get very nervous. Like, Ronaldo's scary, man.
5:50Like, you see him, and he's like, wow, that guy's like a, he floats. It's crazy. But, yeah, and then it goes away the second I meet him, and they're normal people, and then I feel great. Did that Ronaldo video, like, change your mind in terms of, like, how you guys are creating content with athletes moving forward? Yeah, it's a little easier now because they're taking our phone calls, which is great. It's also a win-win. Like, Ronaldo wants to work on his channel. we help him like yeah we sat in sessions with him trying to help him with his videos you know what i mean so it's just a win-win i think it's good for the community i had to make some custom shoes for you thank you for winning usa yeah got the olympics tag have you seen the youtube channel jessu bro with the custom shoes let's go that's love man hell yeah thank you very much thank you for the gold medal for America.
6:35Let's go. That's fire. Thank you. Today we've got a special gift. You know we're going to play basketball, right? So we've got a few extra surprises for you. Steph, can I ask? What do you think about all the NBA players creating podcasts these days? I love the idea that people are giving fans a new perspective. That story telling does get a little loud at times. It's a lot of, it's a lot of. Yeah. Something really good. I love Draymond's podcast. Draymond and Laren and Salah did a great job. Jeff T, Austin Rivers, all the smoke, knuckleheads. You won't see me doing it though, don't worry about that.
7:14Why? Not a lot of other things I want to do, you've got to be behind the mic every day. If you're going to do something, you've got to be hotline. And it isn't time for women, it's a big lift. It's not something I'm going to actually do.
7:33I have no idea what's going on. May I introduce 11-time All-Star, four-time NBA champion, two-time MVP, Mr. Stephanie Culley.
8:01What's happening everybody? What's happening? Steph's talking. I would go out there now and just kind of wait. Just trying not to draw too much attention because I don't want people screaming when you go up. So have fun, compete, play hard, create memories.
8:25You got Mr. Beast in the building.
8:30How's it going everybody? Wait is that Mr. Beast? Is that Mr. Beast right there? Yeah.
8:43Who would you rather meet? Steph Curry or Mr. Beast? I met Steph Curry. Mr. Beast. Mr. Beast. Curry! Curry! Curry! Curry! I don't know if you guys saw the video where we did like the 1v1 versus Ronaldo with all the athletes. We have Steph Curry here who happens to be one of the best athletes on the planet. And where's our boy at? Come on down. In the video. Good to see you. Bring out the look.
9:38Did you know any of this was happening?
9:45For our next 1v1, we have the greatest shooter on the planet, Steph Curry!
9:56And he is going to be going up against the number one shooter in this high school. Come on down!
10:08Let's go. How do you feel? Are you nervous? Nah. Is that locked in?
10:17Let's go! 3, 2, 1, go! 100 grand on the line. Oh, my gosh. Oh, he's not missing. Oh, he missed. All right, he missed. He missed one.
10:34Oh, oh. Half the time the time's gone by. Oh, OK. Only eight so far. OK. OK. LeBron. LeBron. Oh, he missed. He missed. Two. One. Time's up. Go, go, go! He made 14 shots. He's got it! 14 shots in 30 seconds. Let's see if DeMorean can beat that in a minute. Are you ready? Three, two, one, go! On your grand on the line. Oh, all right. Take your time, no rush. All right, he made one. Ah. Ah! No rush, no rush. Yep. Take your time
11:34Half a minute left take your time. You don't have any shot
11:53Oh, he's getting there! He's got to hit him all day. Come on, three, two, one, last shot!
12:14Awesome, thank you so much. I think this should go up in like a month. Thank you so much for being here. Will we ever see a day where a YouTuber has a signature shoe with Under Armour? We're working on it. I don't know how we couldn't think about the world that way. I'm as addicted to Beast Games as anybody else. So, yeah, we want to be there. And we'll do it in an authentic way, of course. Would you guys be more likely to sign an athlete if they have a social media presence or a YouTube channel? Yeah, I mean, everything figures into it. So, for all the young athletes, you can be great, but you have to have all the pieces, too.
12:50Alright, this is a dream come true. We're at All-Star Weekend. We're about to go on the court. There's some NBA players I want to talk to about YouTube, but let's go.
13:09The NBA All-Stars are practicing right now.
13:25There's a bunch of players walking around. I got a few questions for them, so come over. I loved you on Kai's stream. Oh, thank you. Yeah, it's cool to see you guys leaning into new media like that. Are they describing it as new media now? I mean, how would you describe it? It's a seamless platform to be able to connect all walks of life. It's just the everyday person is the everyday person. Would you ever start a YouTube channel or vlog, like what's going on in your life? Yeah. Yeah. But there's all a time and place for that. Do you have an idea of when it might happen? Is it like after you retire or while you're still playing?
13:54Before. Before I retire. Before you retire. That integration is not as hard as I think people think. Meaning like the integration of streaming and then kind of traditional content, how it's been played out for our generations, how we consumed it. It's different now. People want to see the authenticity show out through the camera. They want to see it live, fed to you in a certain capacity. You want to be a part of it and grow with that person too. So you just root for people like that too in that streaming world because they come from, you know, middle nowhere usually and start with two people viewing and then they get to thousands and then you kind of see the evolution of them.
14:27Like that's beautiful part about being not only in this country, but being part of this world like seeing people want to know what other people think, but at the same time like support them. Great seeing you at the shoot yesterday, man. How would you view like Kaisena compared to ESPN and other media? Depends on what you're looking for from both of you. All those guys are killing it. They're very talented. I'm sure there's going to be a decentralization of media in the next few years. I'm kind of curious to see kind of what is next for those guys. Because I'm sure the mainstream media stores are going to start approaching them with large deals and things like that.
14:59They said Draymond Green went this way. Draymond Green. You know, over 75 million people, including the biggest creators, athletes, and artists, all use Linktree because it's so much more than just a Lincoln bio tool.

16:08Draymond, can I ask one question about your YouTube channel and your show? Why is YouTube important to you as an NBA player? YouTube is where all the views at, man. That's where all the kids are. You see everything on YouTube. And just to grow a presence on there, get it out to the world, I think it's an incredible platform for all of us to use and continue to push the things forward that we're trying to move forward. How hard is it to have a podcast while you're an active player? It's fun. You make time for what's important to you. I enjoy it. I'm no stranger to hard work. I love putting the work in, so I enjoy it.
16:40It's fun. And any thoughts on traditional media as we're surrounded by a lot of reporters versus new media? I am traditional media and new media.
16:50All right, so right here is all the media, but it's mostly traditional media. They're basically getting all their stories out. They're getting interviews in the hallway. I'd say we're one of the only YouTubers here. Jesse's here. Tristan's here. There's other creators. but you'll see the worlds of creator and traditional media, there's still like fine lines, but I think the NBA is helping bring it together. I feel like we're much more run and gun. Like we're trying to go up to the creators, the locker room, and just see what we could get.
17:16Wambi, do you watch a lot of YouTube? I watch all of it. Do you watch a lot of YouTube? I was doing one. Yes. Do you care about having a YouTube channel? In YouTube. Neither one, I don't need that. No.
17:33Nice to meet you man. Pleasure. Nice to meet you. I'm so impressed. You guys are filming six podcasts while you're here? Yeah, we're on our six. That's a light day. That's a light day. That's a light day for us. What's the most interviews you've done in a day? We'll do like a week and almost three a day. Three a day? Yeah. Who's come through during All-Star Weekend this weekend? We've had so far TMC, Chris Mullen, Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richman. We had KG, Marshawn Lynch, JR Ryder. Wow. We got Barry Bonds tomorrow. That's huge. That's huge. Don Julio! What up, what up? Oh, man! What's up, baby? Appreciate you putting up.

18:09I know you was busy, bro. What's happening? Nothing much, man. I'm so excited for this. Thanks for having me on your set. So you guys have one of the biggest shows started by NBA players, and I'm looking around, and I'm seeing like five cameras, because we're on your set right now. What's harder, being an NBA player or being a podcaster and creator? The effort and the dedication is the same. We dedicating everything we have to this, but you don't have to go to the gym. You don't have to sweat as much. You got to use your mind more. And I think that hurt me more than sweating, using my mind. You know, I know we pour in.
18:41You know, obviously we've been able to kind of translate our ambition and our energy and kind of our approach into another career. We started doing it, you know, at major networks, ESPN and Fox, and starting a show five years ago. And then from that, we've turned it into an entire company. So it's been cool. How does the money compare to the NBA? Like, are you guys making more money now on your podcast than when you were NBA players? Well, I can say this. I'm definitely not making, because I was making like$10 million a year at one point. So I'm definitely not making that. But after basketball, I am making NBA money.
19:14You know what I'm saying? It's equal. Like, what I'm doing now, this is the easiest job I've ever had. You know, and we're building a company. This is our baby. We're building something from the ground up. So it means just as much as if I was making$10 million. So if I'm not making$10 million, then we're building our baby. It's just the same as I was making$10 million because I'm building a company with my family. We're winning together. We're growing together. So it might not be$10 million. We will get to that point, but it feels like it because I'm winning with people I truly love. You guys started this show five years ago.
19:44In the five years since, there's been a ton of other shows and podcasts started by NBA players. Why do you think that is? There's so many people from every podcast that's trying to start a podcast, that's podcasts that have success. They've all called him. They've all reached out to him and asked for advice, and that's one thing about us. We open to share everything we know. Yeah, and I definitely feel like there's been a shift in media as a whole, particularly on the basketball side. Obviously, guys were going from playing to analysts or commentators, and we were able to get access that the ESPNs and the Foxes couldn't get.
20:14Do you think that more NBA players want to be full-time YouTubers after they retire? I mean, shit, I don't know, but YouTube is, like, you talk about NBA money. YouTube is paying people some real money. I did some streaming stuff not too long ago, and it's completely obvious. I'm about to be 45 when I was on the stream with like a kid that just turned 20 or 21, but that's the future It makes all the sense in the world. That's a great retirement That's a great retirement, right? Because we're in that era now. That's easy money How did the idea start for all the smoke? Was it when you were doing hits on ESPN and other networks?
20:42Like we should we should do this ourselves or like did they come to you? We were at I think my place in the bay in Berkeley. Yeah, and Watching the game and I'm just like let's do a podcast. He's like what's the podcast? Like I don't know But I think we can smoke and drink and he's like I'm in And then from there, we met somebody from Showtime through a mutual friend, Brian Daly, flew out here from New York. I pitched them the idea. We took a couple shots together and next thing we know, we're signed to Showtime. And January 1 of 2024, we signed a nice deal with DraftKings and Launched our company.
21:13So we're about a year and some change in and we have a handful of shows under our slate. We're not only in the NBA, we're in the NFL. We're in professional boxing. We're about to get into MMA and then hopefully golf at some point and also political content. So we're just doing a bunch of stuff across the board now. Any other things or advice you give to DMs? No, we just appreciate it. You're really doing your thing and to be able to bring your audience into what we're doing, man, we're thankful and appreciative to that. And we're people out here trying to learn the space and continue to make good content, man.
21:43So we appreciate you stopping by and highlighting us. I do. Thank you. Thanks for paving the path. I appreciate you guys. Thank you.
21:56chom dude how did you get started and how do you break all the new i mean you broke the luka trade like how do you get all these scoops if i couldn't play in the nba the next best thing for me is to write and cover it and like my appetite for information i think kept me going as a fan then and keeps going now what journalistic rigor do you feel like you bring that maybe an nba player who's just like throwing up a mic and a camera may not realize i think for players to have their own media platforms entities places where they can tell their stories i mean if they don't want to say it in terms of traditional standard media, I mean, they have the right.
22:26But there is also a natural trust potentially that you can develop with people potentially like myself or other journalists or other interviewers, other broadcasters, whether it be at NBC, ABC, any outlet you can think of. I wake up, go to sleep every moment in between thinking of how to cover the league at a really high level. Sean, thank you so much, man. Yeah. All right, we're at the All-Star Game. The slam dunk contest is about to happen. I feel like growing up in Chicago, the dunk contest was one of my favorite things in the world. I can't believe I'm here right now. But yeah, what's really cool is Chester is about to judge the slam dunk contest.
23:08First ever YouTuber to be a judge alongside NBA players. Chester, I'm going to ask you first, you are the NBA ID member rep tonight. How do you think the fans will vote with your personal opinions tonight? I think we all just want to see some creativity, something new, but it's gonna align. So let's go! Oh!
23:35Insane!
23:40How was it, man? It was so cool seeing you up there. I was like just trying to take it all in, like all the lights, just like the big arena, like just take a deep breath, like oh my god I'm really here and doing this but it was so cool such a fantastic experience I was trying to FaceTime my son dude. Tell him Jesser is right here. Your boy Jesser just push your face up. Jesser your guy? Hey bro thank you for watching the videos brother I appreciate it. Baron is Jesser a bigger deal in your household than some NBA players? Jesser is the biggest deal in my household. Oh, yes. You're an NBA legend.
24:17I am. My kids make me watch Jesser. Let's go. They're like, why don't you do a video with Jesser? Why don't you get in this video? I'm like, dude, this kid is too famous. I don't even know him. I just met him. He's incredible. I just got so many brownie points for the FaceTime. Let's go. Thanks to this guy. Yeah, I got it. Appreciate it. Wow, wow, wow. That was awesome.
24:43All right, so big day. The All-Star game is about to be played on this court. Some of the biggest stars in the world are going to be here. But also, Mr. Beast is going to be doing a halftime show where he's going to give away$100 ,000. It's the biggest thing a creator has done at All-Star. And Jimmy said we may be able to go on the court with him. You lead digital content for the NBA. How do you help NBA players develop their social media following? After every single game, when a player gets back to their locker room, they can use the Greenfly app on their phone and get content from the game, whether it's highlights, photos.
25:18So we have it all done in an automated fashion. Wow, I had no idea. So when we see something on a player's Instagram or a creator who covers the NBA, there's a good chance it came from the app. Correct. Like game action photography, game highlights, and things like that. Those are the ones that we're getting to them as fast as possible. How do you find these creators? Are you looking across YouTube and trying to see who's getting views on basketball-related content? How do you find the next Jessers and Mr. Beast to come out to All-Star Games? We're monitoring basically every account on every platform that is publishing NBA content.
25:53And we're able to identify creators that are sort of on the rise. And that they're starting to gain traction. And then they get a DM from us and we start the journey of working together. How do you think about Mr. Beast and Jester in terms of the marketing of the NBA and its content? We have built an incredibly massive social media following. But with all the algorithm changes on the platform, it's getting harder and harder to reach even the people that follow you. And so by expanding the number of accounts that are publishing NBA content, it's giving us more opportunities to reach more of our fans.
26:31And then you get to the 2025 All-Star Game and creators are everywhere throughout the entire weekend. Ice Ice. Now that's up in the world. Jimmy's about to do the halftime show at the All-Star Game. Carl, is this the first time you guys are gonna be on live TV? Yeah, it's literally the first time we've ever been live on cable. I'm worried Jimmy's gonna say something bad. How do you guys come up with this idea? He came up with it. I Don't know I just thought about it I mean glorious. I just think it's funny and simple and the crowd would like it. Dame has to make three shots Before one random kid makes one.
27:05To be clear that was always the plan. That's always what we were gonna do the whole time We did not come up with that 12 hours ago
27:26How's it going, Sanford? How you guys doing? Before the next game, the NBA has let me do something a little fun for you guys. Behind me is$100 ,000, and we're going to grab someone random from the stands to compete against Daniel Lillard for this 100 grand. What's your name? My name is Jared. Jared? All right, come on over here. So, what we're gonna be doing is pretty simple. All right, Jimmy is right now on the floor. We got Drew on there, getting footage with him. He's basically doing a YouTube video, live here at the All-Star Game. First try, you can win 100 grand right here. He's going for it.
28:10Oh, Damian Lillard. One of three, Shirley. Okay, that's one of three. Get him high club everybody.
28:23Shaq, you wanna give him some motivation? Or Kevin? Someone give our guys a pep talk over here. Stand in the middle, elbow straight, hold your final two till the ball goes through the net. In 30 seconds, he goes to the country of the commercial. Hold it until it goes in. Got it. I keep shooting. Keep shooting. Oh my gosh. Keep shooting.
28:56Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
29:02Oh my god. How does it feel to win 100? $100 ,000 in front of everyone. This is surreal. I can't thank anybody but my dad. And thank you for the opportunity. What just happened, man? I don't know what just happened. I'm shaking. I literally got the best shot of him jumping in the money. That's all I need, baby. Money shot, literally. That was the best shot of him jumping in the money, and he's like, yeah!
29:38Hey, is there anything you want to say? I know you beat the two-time three-point contest winner. All right, let's head to our next bid. Hey, do you want to grab shots for John? Yo, NBA, that was sick. You should have us do more stuff like that. Yeah, shout-out to the NBA for letting us do this. Oh, how's it going? Yeah, everyone seemed to love it. Thank you, thank you. Let's do more stuff in the future. I wasn't expecting that. I guess Adam knows me. I thought that went phenomenal. The buzzer beater at the end. There was 10 seconds left until they're gonna kick it to a commercial. I almost went over time I thought that was a huge success.

We went behind-the-scenes with Jimmy Donaldson (aka MrBeast) as he shot his next video in the "Beat Ronaldo, Win $1,000,000" series of Pros vs Joes except this time the video featured the Golden State Warrior's Steph Curry alongside Neymar, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lilliard, and more in a video titled "Beat Neymar, Win $1,000,000." Beyond the shoot, we also spend time with the NBA's biggest stars, podcasts like All The Smoke co-hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson and journalists like Shams Charania to find out just how much YouTube has changed the NBA culminating in MrBeast's $100,000 halftime show where a lucky fan hit a halfcourt shot.
