Reacting with Micah Christenson! (USA vs. Russia 2018 World Championships) 

Can't deny but Micah is really handsome😂🖤

Listening to Micah talk about the decisions he makes really shows why he's as good as he is. Truly smart dude.

Erik, I'm Brazilian and I've always had a grudge with the american team and now you're making me love you guys, c'mon!! JK, I'm very happy to see how the US team not only is a powerhouse but is also very nice.

Hey guys! So glad Micah could do this video with me! He drops so much setting knowledge it’s amazing! Which piece of advice as your favorite? Let me know! Yay volleyball! ALSO LINK TO MC11 GEAR IS IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX OF THE VIDEO!!

Micah is the perfect combination of cute, handsome, and talented! Indeed, he is one of the best setters in the world!

It’s so nice to see videos like this where it shows that even if they’re Olympic volleyball players, they still seem so... human? It’s hard to remember that they’re just people when you watch them on TV so often. So enjoyable to see my idols talk and joke around with each other

Micah has a really nice older brother quality about him... like he’s back from college giving you advice. Idk I don’t have an older brother 😂 great vid Erik!!

Why does this feel so natural? Like dude, that's the same guy who was dominating the match on TV and then suddenly, Oh hey Micah wassup? 😂 Well, thanks Erik for your wonderful channel.

Micah is really endearing, his side gazes and all. He's just gorgeous

I love that you're both wearing Micah's shirt xD

We all know that Micah is extremely talented, but he’s truly a bae too 🥺🥺🥺

It’s just incredible like a worldclass setter is just on RU-vid. Thanks Erik

the way he took the questions srsly, what I mean is (he think about it for more than 10 seconds), clearly he always has something in his mind to think about all the time.

Micah calling Verbov “coach” is so adorable, can’t wait for next season 🙌🏻

Fun fact : micah's chair was 15 cm lower than erik's one so that he coule be in the screen🤣

Thanks for guesting Micah. My favorite and best setter. I hope you will guest Matt Anderson in your next video, please!

Micah's my first reference when I first became a setter. His tosses have a beautiful curve going to the antenna (I can't maintain that form) and his awareness is really something.. Thank you Erik for letting Micah sprinkle his setting knowledge 😭😭 God bless you❤️

When I met Micah at USAV Nationals in 2015 I was like wtf I didn’t know he was this tall 💀

Watching from the Philippines, you (Erik Shoji) and Micah Christenson are my idols (I do playing as a libero, and as a setter too). Hoping one day to interact with you both, just to grant my wish come true and one day I'll have your both jerseys signed ❤️💯 I really idolize the way both of you are doing inside the court ❤️💯 just stay humble and give us a great play and games to VNL ❤️❤️❤️

love having a setter in a video, would love to see more analsys with setters!!

Micah is like ya so I saw he was out of his normal position and the middle was only read blocking vs what he actually thought: it would look sick to do a long back set rn

It is great to finally get know a little bit more of these players outside the court

Still waiting for Zaksa vs Trentino Super finals match reaction... watch it with David Smith

Erik chose his best game as an out of system setter for Micah to react. Love it

Micah and Bruno Rezende are easily my favorite players to watch play.

Subscribed!! This is how a content should be. I'm loving how humble Erik is. More teammates, please.

I demand to know Micah's skin care routine

Micah Christenson is like literal my role modal I watch his games and brake down his entire setting distribution. I want to know what drills he dose and how much he practices.

OMG!! I just watched the entire video with a big smile on my face. Love lots, Micah! 😚 Matt Anderson next please. I really love his tattoos. 😍

no entiendo nada pero esta Christenson, no necesito otra razon para darle like

I love micah, thanks you erik!!♥️ Greetings from Perú 🇵🇪

the synergy between you two tells that you've been bff for a long time

this has become my new fav video on the internet

Watching volleyball at this perspective makes me appreciate more the trajectories and arcs of the ball. It's just so amazing (wanna try some of those later). Furthermore, after hearing Micah's voice, it feels like he's someone you wanna hear reading bedtime stories before you sleep.

That one handed set...amazing

11:55 his voice omg

Micah Chritenson He's my favorite setter ever ❤

THE WAIT IS OVER!! And damn, Micah is really good at this!

Please tell Micah Christenson that he is the best setter of all time!!!! All the love to your channel!!!

Brazil loves ypu, Shoji! Good luck in the season with the national teams. :)

I love Micah (fan's from Thailand.)

Micah is very fluent. I love how he explains stuff. Excited for him to play in Russia!

Micah is very articulate and very good looking! He can be an actor.

Best setter and libero in the world 🤙

I'm from Philippines, i love watching Volleyball and USA my favorite team. Love watching your vlogs stay safe and God Bless...

Can’t wait to see USA in VNL and Tokyo Olympics!

he so shy here completely different to when he's in court.

i like him when he smile!

YESSSS !!! THANK YOU ERIK!!! LOVE YOU MICAH 🇧🇷❤️🇺🇸

Can't wait for Micah in zenit🤩🤩🤩 love from Russia

thank you erik for inviting him, i love micah

my god micah's smile is beautiful

Honestly, one of the best setters if not the best plus one of the best if not the best libero in the world. So amazing to just watch them do a reaction video

Как приятно видеть Майку и Ромку Порошина в одном видео)))

thank micah for playng in zenit - kazan he perfect in this club

Watching Erik and of course Micah, my all time legendary setter, just made me smile for at least 28mins nonstop 💖

15:00 me listening to Micah's advices knowing I haven't played volleyball in over a year: 🤔

We love you Micah. I'M A BIG FAN FROM PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭💜

went to watch this because of VNL 2024 PH! Sending more virtual support!

That Russian block was insaneeee 😲 The insights Micah gave into his thought process were so cool! Keeping the opposing blockers and your hitters /and/ the ball in mind, and setting it with such beautiful technique?,, Frickin brilliant :O

You two look like brothers

I have a huge crush on Micah since like 2013 and the moment this pop up on my feed i clicked this instantly just so I could hear him speak ☺️

Great players

my most favorite duo in international volleyball! Shoji-Christenson

I looked for Micah on your channel right after watching Taylor with you. So glad you didn't disappoint. Micah is just talented and gorgeous.

Congrats! thanks for guesting the best setter in the world. goodluck to team USA and to your individual clubs. more power to your channel Erik

Crazy to see you young men move on in life doing amazing things in a sport you all love and are amazing at. I’ve watched you guys from your high school days. Gotta follow the local talent here in Hawaii. I watched Micah play here In Hilo when he won his state championship in the newly built Keaau High School gymnasium against Punahou. Watching him play OH in high school and completely dominate that position to being the absolute best setter in the world is unbelievable but believable because of how well rounded you Hawaii boys are in volleyball. And Erik you make that difficult libero position look so easy it’s laughable. I had to comment to this. Huge support from Hilo. Aloha boys and keep at it. Great channel Erik!!🙏🏼🤙🏼

Love your solo episodes, love the ones with your dad, Kawika and Taylor, but this one was special. Thanks so much for what you do.

Just finished watching the USA vs Japan game! Micah's setting is absolutely amazing as always. We just couldnt break through that crazy wall today!

Yeaayy Micah 😍♥♥ Happy happy birthdayy 🎉

Erik! I live in Brazil, and my parents are from here. But I was born in the USA, I play a lot of volleyball, as a setter, I keep in mind, if one day I could chosse where country I rather go, it'll be fun.

Finally, you made my dream come true. I love Micah. n you. Cheers

micah's voice is actually v satisfying idk why 😳

Micah with Erik ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Hope to see Matt Anderson next on your video 😉

I love micah when he is setting a volleyball... I love the he played.. he is one of the best setter in the world... He is my idol... Im lance sarabia from Philippines... Micah is my idol setter... And i love your Hoody jacket

Literally my favorite player in the world. Nice that you could make a video with him. Low key want to play like him one day😅

Omg, I'm glad to see your channel growing up so fast, thank you to show us how high level professional players mind

More more!! You guys are my two favorite players!!

Im 14 5ft 11 and im the spiker/ middle blocker for my team, ive been studying you and seeing how you play with your team to benefit passes, sets and spikes and you pay so well, thank you for this inspiration, HELLO FROM AUSTRALIA!

Best setter ever🥺💖

crazy how still after 6 years all the players besides sanders are still active

I’ve been waiting for this. Seeing my two idols. You’re both awesome.🥰

OMG I’m glad I found your channel! Listening to 2 national team players talk through a match, how cool is that! I was thinking how much I would have loved to have listened to your forebears from the USA teams of the 80’s do the same for their great matches with Russia back in the day. Thanks to you both for these amazing insights! Loved it!

The best setter and best libero! I’m excited!!! Happy birthday, Micah! All the best in Russia.

Miss all of your guys..my fav teams

It’s been super fun to watch you and your team mates talk about the games. It’s interesting to talk about the techniques they do in the game, and the story behind every games! I hope you can do more with other member of the team. Please send Micah and all the USA team’s members love!

yes best setter and the best libero #teamUSA 💪🏻

You are right he is the best setter in the world and I can’t wait to see him bring Zenit Kazan back to greatness!!!
