  • @brianjensen7985
    McEnroe is an original that is for sure. That Era of tennis with him, Connors and Borg was awesome.
  • @prmaninla
    This was fantastic. I hated McEnroe when I was kid, but I've really grown to admire and actually like him. It's a rare person as honest as he is, no matter what the ramifications.

    I think I know everything there is to know about McEnroe that's 'publicly available.' I will still sit down and watch a 1 hour interview with him. He is such a unique, and open, individual, who happened to be one of the most uniquely talented tennis players ever. The amount of self reflection he does in these interviews is amazing. No pat answers. You can feel his emotions when he discusses Borg (love), Connors (initial disdain but deep respect), his children, wife, father, etc. He admits to choking in 84, and copping out in 85/86. He needed Joe Buck to remind him how great he was. He still plays at an amazing level at age 64, I believe, and it's a certainty that he'd kick any of his old rivals' asses on the court were they to play today. Viva John McEnroe!

    I never appreciated the on-court manners of John McEnroe, but there is a lot more to this man than all of that.
  • @stubarnum7344
    I played C.Y.O. basketball with John on St. Anastasia's 6th and 7th grade teams. We never won before John joined the team. He was the point guard and leading scorer. We won medals for first place in 6th grade and second place in seventh grade with John. His dad was a great guy who was supportive and encouraging and usually wore a fisherman's hat. Power to John for encouraging youth at his tennis academy and keeping Davis Cup relavent.

    McEnroe is one of a kind. I always admired his honest tell-it-like-it-is approach.
  • @SteveJones-gl1wi
    One of the most interesting athletes of his era. A truly complicated but good man.

  • @robertlaird1281
    J mc is the best. In Britain he was hated. But the press in England hate him. He's a diamond. With sincere respect from Scotland
  • @Talulah6
    He looks great! Who wouldn’t want to be in the same room with John McEnroe. Smart, honest guy.
  • As a native of Brooklyn, next door to Queens I adored Johnny Mac and still do. What a legend. There's no one like him. Great Interview!
  • Ten years older than John. How lucky I was to watch him. His Davis Cup representation and doubles play can never be duplicated. Simply the best doubles player ever!
  • @JayB.USMC.
    Watched him play all the time as a little kid! Best time in tennis history!!!🙏❤️
  • @sbove
    Best interview of McEnroe ever. He's in a great mental state right now and Joe led a fantastic dialogue. Grazi Mille!
  • @RJ-nh9hw
    Came here by accident but stayed because your interview was so honest, forthright and sincere. McEnroe was open, direct and a pure delight in exposing what made him a world champion and a better man as he ages...well done, very well done! Of course I subscribed...a great show that suggests more to come!
  • McEnroe was and will remain my favourite tennis player, he was artistic on the court, and he is (now) a lovable, honest, and warm person. Love Johnny Mac.
