Is Julius Randle REALLY The Problem For The Knicks? A Closer Look At New York’s Most Hated 

Julius is basically the only reason we are relevant rn. I will always respect him for bringing Knicks basketball back

wow. i was used to hearing you scream YAM TIME and making raymond felton edits in all your vids, never expected serious basketball analysis and mini documentaries, u took ur content to a whole new level here bro, respect

As a Knicks fan couldn’t agree more. Randle was not meant to be handling the ball. That’s why they have thrived with Brunson. The playoffs this year will be the real test to see if he can play well with no outside factors effecting him. Great video and keep up the great work!

As a Knicks fan, I just wanna say thank you. He gets a lot of hate, but he is a star. I think the city of New York may be turning in his favor.

What a W video bro. So well put together and actually in tune with the situation. Randle truly has played as 3 completely different players on the Knicks, and he’s finally playing as the most effective version of himself. I can’t stand the unfair hate he gets and I’ll always love him for coming here and pulling the franchise out of the pits of hell

As a Knicks fan, when people ask about Julius. Its always a struggle to think where to even begin... This video covered it all

I was at the game last night vs the blazers. Adding OG has DRASTICALLY improved the knicks spacing, not to mention the young dudes can cook from deep now. with all that spacing, Randle is EASILY able to destroy dudes in the paint and hunt the mismatch

Julius used to be a problem because he didn’t pass/trust his teammates. That cause lots of turnovers due to him trying to play through double triple teams. He’s changed. Passes and is in a better place understanding he can’t always be the first and last option. It’s hard to replace someone who gives you his stats on a daily basis.

As a Knicks fan I’ll say confidently Jules is my favorite player. Brought us out of the gutter and kept us up ever since. The disrespect he gets is unbelievable to me. Thanks for making this vid 💪

We have him on such a cheap contract and he has all of the heart that a team needs. He's matured, but still plays with intensity, and the value of a player who is determined to play in every game even through some injuries should not be underestimated.

Nice seeing you try long form content, especially with that level of quality Nice work man 👌🏻

I think Randle deserves a lot of credit for morphing his game into smtg it’s not and succeed while also helping his team win. He’s probably one of the most underrated players in the league

an amazing transition from short form content to long form, using long form content on this channel to do non-satirical in depth basketball analysis is exactly what i expected Hoopology would do and i’m here for it

Bro casually switched to long form content and killed it, W vid

Subscribed mid video and don’t regret. I’ve been “fighting” my friends on Julius Randle this season. Without him the Knicks wouldn’t be where they are now.

this was a refreshingly objective and fair take on a player who is often written off as a "playoff bust" excellent usage of context, team construction and player skill set - subscribed!

So glad you made this video. I hope it gets the views it deserves because people need to see this

Bro needs to make more content like this. This is some of the best content I've seen in a long time.

great to see you branch out into longer content, amazing video man, you sound like a natural narrating it lmao, keep it up bro

Amazing video bro, love the long videos. I think these forms of videos as well as what you already do would help you grow so much

Love your vids bro every time you upload I always watch it even this one and this long format video was really good for a person yelling YAM TIME. I hopefully you can upload more of these video but if not it fine I still would watch it either way.

Wow I knew I recognized the voice. Great transition bro. Great video! Keep it up

loved this video and cant wait for more videos like this from you

Great video man. Thank you for pointing out all this that some of us have been trying to for years. Randle is a changed player & he has the passion to win. He doesn’t care about what the narratives are anymore & thats a big reason he is willing to adjust his game to win more. He respects Jalen Brunson as the 1a & even though they take turns this has taken a lot of pressure off Randle. Randle is having the best clutch season of his career, the best post up season of his career, the most efficient season of his career since being a 1, better decision making consistently punishing defenses (turnovers are high but he doesnt get credit for the hockey assists) & Randles defense & effort has improved greatly! WATCH OUT FOR RANDLE & THE KNICKS THIS POSTSEASON! Also shoutout to OG Anunoby the perfect front court partner for Julius.

Bro what a fantastic video. Tough but fair commentary.

This is such a great video. I love your humor content but this analysis is very deep and insightful I would love to watch another

Very nice video. Way to not show bias and look at it clearly. Well done.

Great video, summed it up perfectly

excellent video man

This was a GREAT video. Never seen your videos before but this had me watching the whole thing. Still not sure how we should of used barret but him at the 3 was a clear indication we ain't have a big enough belief in him since he was a guard his whole time until then

Really enjoyed the video keep coming with the new content!

Wonderful video brother. Bravo

Video topic and style is A1...keep it up

Fantastic video!

Randle’s drives to the basket have increased immensely since December 2023 …. His shooting efficiency has risen also since December 2023 ..

Great video, your analysis is spot on

amazing video, i wish you made this after the knicks had played some games with og. they have been absolutely unreal

Fantastic work man

This is an incredible video. I've been saying these things word for word in barber shops. Randle has been a revelation for us and it's crazy how we act in NY lol. I personally think it didn't have much to do with the playoffs and he just never recovered from the beyblade years. thumbs down moment was icing on the cake people were just looking for.

Great video.

JxmyHighroller level video

Love this video, hoping that this playoffs is when he cna truly change the narrative on him

Yoooo long form content!

Randle's been playing good and with og the team is looking really strong

Gr8 vid man

This was such a great video- perfectly encapsulated the growth and depth to Randle's career and the misconceptions around him. The team for so long has been criticized and Randle is almost always thrown to the wolves, but rarely does he get grace. The guy worked his ass off and has changed so many facets of his game each season; like with this season alone his playmaking has improved drastically and has become reliable with the free throws (ignore the Magic game yesterday lol). Brunson was what we needed absolutely but the team has the luxury of them as a tandem. Considering their health, they are one of the best duos in the league and as robbed as JB was for an all-star spot last season, there was a reason Julius ran with it and the all-NBA spot, you just couldn't deny his stats. The guy had damn near 20 games consecutively scoring 20+ ppg this season, and is in the top points overrall this year with MVP candidates. You can't deny when he plays well it impacts the team, and the impacts translates to wins which takes us to the playoffs. Which makes me laugh cause you can't think of another fanbase whose star has a great game and you see comments asking for him to be traded immediately after. I agree that he's due for a consistent, dominant playoff run, with great health- cause if that happens then a lot of these criticisms can FINALLY be put to bed.

SHOUT OUT SAINEY MEDIA

I don't think there's any all-star player who has gotten less respect from Knicks fans in my decades of fandom than Julius Randle. The man has done more far more for the Knicks in 4 seasons than Melo did in his 6.5 seasons, and yet so many Knick fans still try to find any reason to hate, 90% of said reasons being entirely false (namely the "locker room cancer" one, which everyone debunked, especially Immanuel Quickley, who credited Randle by name in his Knicks goodbye letter). Great video.

Good vid deserves more views

Amazing video, but geez I don’t think it could’ve dropped at a worse time, seriously had me questioning if this was a reupload considering how amazing he and the team have been as of late

You should do this often, now that you've solidified yourself as a game analyst with your first analysis video. You're on point, and, not much of a Knicks follower, but I've always wondered why people in the media blame him even though he has been balling and changed his play style for the sake of the team. W video. Yeah, watching this video like after 3 months of you posting it, but, great videos will get recognition, even though it'll take time. As a guy who's trying to be an analyst myself, I approve this as one of the best analysis I've ever seen on RU-vid.

Nice Content 😮 .

My recommendation would be to title the parts of the video in the description. Otherwise love the content !

This is a great video. ALSO YAN TIME

Yo I have all ur vids liked and am subbed, keep it up

Broo thanks for this vid. as a knicks fan randle get wayy too much hate even though hes been popping off

Dope Video!!! I really dig your narration bruh. I have new respect for Julius Randle

I am not a Knicks fan by any means, but this does make me happy knowing Im not the only one thinking Julius isnt to blame for everything. Great vid, loved how you went into detail about everything perfectly. Very professional!

Randle has had 2 playoff runs in his whole career .. the one vs hawks, he was inexperienced and was the only playmaker/shot-creator/initiator of offense .. that’s usually a bad combo The 2nd playoff run, had bad ankle injury right before playoffs,, came back too early cause he wanted to help, but got re-injured and ended up getting ankle surgery after playoffs ended . 3rd times a charm (2023/2024). This should be his playoff breakout … he’s playing a lot better , maybe the most efficient in his career (I’m ignoring the 1st 6 games cause he was just coming off the surgery/rehab) , and has efficient help in Brunson and Anunoby

Great video man.. I love randles competitiveness and it seems like he’s gotten better each year he’s been in NY aside from that 2021 season.. the guy wants to win u can see his passion in every game.. but Yo much respect for this video and the timeline of the man’s career u laid out here, absolutely great work

Randle is a true baller and the narrative being pushed about him is sick. NY fans and media have lost sight on what this man has done for the franchise.

Great Video! Let's go Knicks!

such a great video. I hope he watches this

The short answer is "Yes". The more extended response would be "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss"

JR was like I already had Kobe I dont need no Lebron And not having Kyrie, KD, and Zion was a blessing in disguise

This man needs to do a free throw line compilation Would be so funny 😂😂😂

Great video, I love Randle. Also we beat the Cavs 4-1 not in 6.

Omg great video but I have so blocked out that Elfrid Payton was on the Knicks. I used to yell at the tv every game to get that man off the court. Then I remember people saying us Knicks fans were to hard on him… where is he now?

Great vid! Always annoys me how my fellow Knicks fans always want to get rid of people who give their heart and soul to the team. This guy takes a pay cut and plays hurt. Granted he's not the perfect player but who is? This is a legit 20-10 guy almost every night. A 2nd team ALL NBA player TWICE already. And some Knicks fans want to get rid of him? Yea same dumb Knicks fans who wanted Patrick Ewing to leave after he gave everything to HIS team. Those Knicks fans never appreciate what they have until it's gone..

I'm a knicks fan and I dont think we should trade him, the only reason we should trade him is if we were to get a superstar.

Anyone that has issues with Randle needs to watch this video to become in tune with what's really going on. Thanks for this

This video is killin me 🤣🤣🤣Job well done. As a Knick fan, u covered everything to a T 👏👏👏

Julius Randle is not the problem only 2yrs in playoffs with knicks in 22 he had no help but a old rose,last year he was hurt,so basically you are blaming Randle for 1poor post season. Take him off the knicks and making playoffs would be difficult

This was a very good documentary.

THIS NEEDS MORE LIKES. WE MEED MORE LOMG FORMAT CONTENT

Randle made the Knicks relevant again after so long. The Knicks made various other moves to be as good as they are now, but signing Julius was the turning point. He always gets respect for that.

Yes please, more of this alongside the shorts

Thank you.

After the trade all they gotta do is add some depth and maybe a center that can space the floor and they a real contender imo

U should post more videos like this

Since trading for OG the knicks have won 5 in a row, and Randle has averaged 30 points and 7 boards on 45+fg%. This trade a really great move and i think with one or two more added pieces whether through a trade or FA, the knicks are contenders. The biggest question now is, Is Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson as 1a and 1b a championship caliber duo

Make more long term vids pls

Big Ju might not be Batman… but he is vengeance

This was an EXCELLENT Video! Real Fans Know What's Real! "Ju Ju" gets a bad rap and at least he was willing to come to NY when NO ONE else would. He was the first "Domino", Brunson is the second and OG is the Perfect 3-D piece. The Knicks just need a real "Home Run" hitter-Alpha Dog to make that next Leap.

part 6 had me ascending gang

First year, he was the only star. He was getting doubled and had a hard time. He was playing through an ankle injury which later got surgery. Give the man one more chance in the playoffs.

I won't lie....I was UPSET at the beginning of the video lol. I've been on Knick twitter and everything you said echoed that. The issues with Julius were everything you said. The perception of him being a bad teammate when most signs point to the contrary. He is one of the few players in the last 20 seasons that WANT to be in NY and play for the Knicks. He cares and, in my opinion, the mistakes and pouting a couple of seasons ago were signs of a player that was putting too much pressure on himself. He was pressing instead of letting the game come to him. It also didin't help that he was out there by himself most nights and the offensive inefficiency of the team only served to be more "evidence" to what the detractors of Randle were saying. Brunson has been the best signing we've made in a long time and it's unfortunate that, in my opinion, the meniscus injury that RJ was diagnosed with to start this season has stunted his develpment as a player a bit. It got him traded along with IQ. On the bright side, OG is absolutely what this team needed and the emergence of DiVincenzo as not just a solid floor stabalizer but also a big time clutch shot maker. I think the Knicks can make it to the ECF. Not sure if there is another move we can make in trades. I hope that when Mitch Robinson comes back, he can do so with enough time that he gets into decent enough shape to be effective. iHart has absolutely earned everything he'll get this offseason and he deserves to keep his minutes in rotation this season. IF we can get another big guard or wing defender, we have a chance to beat any of the top teams in the league in a 7 game series. Let's Go Knicks.

I’m a Randle hater and I’m not going to deny that. He always plays terrible in big games, plays selfishly, and gives 0 effort on some nights just lounging around up and down the court yet yells at his teammates. Do i agree he helped make our franchise relevant? Of course but other guys helped like the 3 young dudes who got traded out this year. I hope he finally figures it out in the playoffs but until then I ain’t falling for this newest version of him and my personal attitude is he won’t ever be good enough for us to win it all. However solid video bro

Great video about my favorite Knick 💯 No handle Randle 💯

I’ve been saying it for ever we have the most toxic fanbase. I love Ju, we are where we are because of him and Thibs

Need more vids like this ngl dude. This shit was a masterpiece

While I understand the reason why you're saying he's not the problem comma I think that this style of play won't help the team get farther than the second round. Teams like miami swarm ball handlers while also keeping shooters at bay, So the biggest issue isn't that he'll be better, But rather He's going to hit a wall regardless of how well he plays because of who and how he plays. So in a sense, it's not just julius randall that's the problem, it's their players

this Is too rewatchable

I am so happy that we have solid management that ignores Steven A. Smith, TNT, and so many unappreciative fans...

KING JULIUS PUT US ON THE MAP! NEVER FORGET THAT.. ALL NBA BABY!!

Without Julius we would be at the bottom I love that man

i expected this to be a 30 min video of YAM TIME. Ju is pretty cool.

“But they weren’t going to be irrelevant for long” “Cuts to shot of Mike Beasley…”

I love your short but what I don't like to say Knicks bout to pop

I don't like Randle but there's almost no other options at his price that put up his %'s. We would need to trade him and Grimes for someone even comparable.
