Sometimes, if he was really tired, he'd just wave, he wouldn't acknowledge it at all. Other times, what he would do is, he goes,
Starting point is 00:15:32 When you wave, you lift the shirt more. Yeah, you lift it even up. He goes, oh, oh, and he'd take the shirt and he'd pull it down over his dick, and that would just expose his ass even more. So, he'd just walk by and it was just cheeks flapping.

You take your bike for scooters. But it's even better because you could litter. You don't have to put them anywhere. You just drop them off.
Starting point is 00:19:36 City bike, you got to find the docking, right? So these you put wherever the fuck you want. So we always scooter around. And I knew it was going to happen. We were going to eventually have an accident an accident with the scooter it's after the
Starting point is 00:19:49 Friday show we're feeling pretty good a little drunk we're scootering back to the crib we're right in front of the crib and we're just
Starting point is 00:19:55 scooting around in circles trying to figure out what we're gonna do where we're gonna go how far we can get some food whatever
Starting point is 00:19:58 Alex sees a curb oh Jesus right and I see him go for it and then turn right and then come again and then go for him like oh is he gonna try to jump the curb he jumps it it's his fucking idiot the front wheel hits the curb oh shit right he kind of bounces over and he keeps his hand on the accelerator. Oh, God.

Would you like to contribute to the conversation at all, Chris? Honestly, that shit made for some great content, though. Yeah, you're right. I was saying. Chris, do you have anything to say? Chris. Would you like to contribute to the conversation at all, Chris? Honestly, that shit made
Starting point is 00:22:26 for some great content, though. Yeah, you're right. I watched it. I was intrigued. Then I saw the fashion video. I was like, God damn it, I really want one. She was flying.
Starting point is 00:22:33 I'm not going to lie. We killed that fashion. The curling. I got to give Al credit because we're pushing him around the airport in a wheelchair, right, which is the only way
Starting point is 00:22:42 to be at the airport, by the way. We're going to milk this injury. I said, Al, as long as you feel any bit of pain, like, please, we're using a wheelchair because it's right away. We're already TSA pre-checked. We're already clear. Now we're chopping all the lines up. Al, I'm pushing him around and he has a cane, right?
Starting point is 00:22:58 And I don't know why he thought of this, but he started like rubbing the cane on the ground. He goes, oh yeah, it's like that white people sport. I go go what are you talking about he's like you know the one where they did clean the ice and I was like clean the ice
Starting point is 00:23:09 oh shit that's it we gotta fashion and when I tell you we did about five takes of that when I tell you we left two pieces of luggage in the middle of the airport
Starting point is 00:23:19 and we were like 50 feet away from it yeah I can't do this and we had TSA and different airport employees walking up like, is this anybody's luggage? Is this anybody's luggage?
Starting point is 00:23:29 Like, we had people ready to, like, shut down the airport because you can't leave luggage around. Yeah, you can't just leave a bag of anything. Man, we pulled that shit off. Looked good. Can't stop. Can't stop. Content don't stop, yo.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Can't stop. Content don't stop. Can't stop. So't stop. Can't stop. Can't stop. Won't stop. So like I was saying, man, I was going to ask Alex when he got here, but since you're here, Chris, is OJ Simpson the wildest nigga to ever live? OJ is definitely a legend. He is the wildest nigga to ever, like, to live ever. Like, his life makes no sense to me.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Like, you killed a white woman. You killed a white woman. And a Jew. And a Jew. Yeah. We all know who you are you're not just like a random black dude like we all know who you are you blew like you were like the fucking lebron of your time i'm talking about like you're on like the tiger woods of your time the most marketable athlete on earth you killed a white woman yeah allegedly got away with it and usually you just kind of lay low and count your blessings like damn all right i'm glad to have my freedom no
Starting point is 00:24:33 this motherfucker goes back to jail for stealing his own merchandise does his time comes back you would think he would chill after that no he puts He puts out a book called If I Did It. And the if is like this little. And then he starts a Twitter account where basically he's saying, I want all y'all motherfuckers to keep that same energy that he was talking that shit. Is there a more terrifying sentence in social media history than OJ, I got a little getting even to do? We've seen how OJ settles scores. This shit ain't a little getting even to do. We've seen how OJ settles scores.
Starting point is 00:25:07 This shit ain't a little getting even to do. Has anybody even talked shit to him since he's been on? I'm sure. We've all talked shit about OJ at one point. No, since he's been on. Since he's been on Twitter, I'm sure. I don't think anybody's got the balls to. Nah, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Like, you know he could get away with it. You know what he's allegedly capable of. How long did he do because of the stealing the merchandise? I think like six years. Upwards of a decade, I think. Yeah, it was close. When I first moved to New York, it was 08, and then he was on trial, and I think he got sentenced 08, 09. And he got out like a year or two ago.
Starting point is 00:25:38 So like, eight, nine years. Ish. Wow. The best thing about like OJ's Twitter is like literally every tweet is riveting. I would watch him do the most simple shit. I'm disturbed by all of it. I'd be terrified. I'd be terrified by it.
Starting point is 00:25:52 This shit's cool. This motherfucker disturbs me. Yo, he's literally doing all black uncle shit. If he's just sitting there in his old school fucking college shirt watering the grass, I would be sitting there like, this is terrifying. Yo, you know what's crazy? It's not, but it is. This just goes to show you that we don't believe rappers.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Because all these rappers have been talking about killing people forever. I mean, some rappers have killed people. Yeah, but we follow them and we don't give a fuck. It means nothing. Gucci Mane definitely killed a guy. Yeah, but in some self-defense. He wasn't like... Killed a guy, though.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Got it on his record. Fam, it's mad easy to kill someone self-defense. Me or you? Me or you? Come on, yo. But then he talked shit about it on record. Someone tried to kill me. I'll talk some shit.
Starting point is 00:26:39 You tried to kill me. I killed you. What I'm saying, OJ did it off of like, you fucked my girl. It was rage yeah that's a rage killing it's like when you stab someone
Starting point is 00:26:48 that's a rage killing you fucked my ex who I beat to death almost yeah how dare you bro all I'm saying is it's like
Starting point is 00:26:54 we've been following rappers forever yeah and letting them talk all this shit about killing and it just proves that we don't believe him because now that OJ's out there
Starting point is 00:27:02 and we know that he killed somebody or we at least feel that he kills him, now we're having this conversation like, it's so scary to see somebody talk. Yeah, it's only fun for me if I think a rapper's lying. That's my point. My point is we know rappers lie. Yeah. And that's why-
Starting point is 00:27:16 But that's always the terrifying shit. That's why 6ix9ine's fine. All of us are like, I can't believe 6ix9ine is saying all this shit, but he's not really living it. We don't believe any of them living it. No. His second OJ's back is headlines. This guy only killed two people.
Starting point is 00:27:28 That's nothing. Only two. How many people did Chief Keef talk about killing? I think he... You know how wild you got to be. How many people did he talk about killing? 30, 40? I'm pretty sure he definitely got somebody.
Starting point is 00:27:41 At least one. I'm not saying he didn't. I'm not saying he didn't. Who are you more scared of in the street, Chief Keef or OJ? Chief Keef, by far. In a small space.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Nah, nah, nah. First off, OJ's like seven. What about now? Like you said, you can be- That's why I said small space. So it's like, all right,
Starting point is 00:27:55 so OJ's in his room right now. He's standing at the door. I can't get out the door without OJ getting through OJ. I'm running through that motherfucker, bro. That's what fucking
Starting point is 00:28:04 Nicole's boo taught. Yeah, it was 30 years ago. He was way past his prom. He ain't got that acceleration speed. OJ's 71. 71 years old? I can't get past no 71-year-old OJ. I could outrun that motherfucker for a certain time. I'd crack him right in his Achilles.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Such an old black-ass. That's fair. I do believe you could get by him. I'm saying what would make you more nervous, right? You have right in front of you. Chief Keef makes me infinitely more nervous. Chief Keef. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 00:28:32 OJ Thanos. Or OJ. Chief Keef, that Thanos underling that shot the glass at motherfuckers. Which one? OJ Thanos out this bitch. The thing is, though. OJ put his hand on your shoulder. You don't feel nervous?
Starting point is 00:28:43 No, but that's it. I don't at all. Because like you said, it was a rage killing. Like I wouldn't piss off OJ like that. A nigga with guns? What if he thought you pissed him off? That's very easy to shoot somebody. What if he thought? What if he thought you pissed him off?
Starting point is 00:28:58 OJ can't see me with the hands. You're crazy. Oh, he's 70 years old. He got nothing to lose. He's 70 years old He got nothing to lose He's 70 years old I don't lose I don't disagree But I think Chief Keef got his whole life
Starting point is 00:29:09 Yes I'm infinitely more nervous About this motherfucker Wait OJ or Chief Keef Chief Keef Absolutely Hold on one second Hold on one second
Starting point is 00:29:16 So you have You have 71 year old OJ Who has no problem Doing jail time I've seen Chief Keef In videos with bazookas I don't give a fuck What you mean Let me ask you a question You ain't shooting me With a bazooka When was the last time You heard Keef in videos with bazookas. I don't give a fuck. What you mean?
Starting point is 00:29:25 You ain't shooting me with a bazooka in this last place. When was the last time you heard of someone getting killed with a bazooka? I'm just saying. He has access to things that can kill me very easily. Nobody ever been killed with a bazooka. I think in life. Except in like Iraq and shit. Ain't nobody died from that. They shoot up your house or something.
Starting point is 00:29:41 If you want to kill one person with a bazooka. How do you think firefights start? What? Listen, first of all, you said Iraq, not Chiraq. All right? So, fucking chill. This ain't the Middle East. I mean, they do have bazookas in Iraq. I'm saying Samuel O.J. would have a gun, and clearly he's already doing time.
Starting point is 00:29:56 He's done it. He almost did it once, and then was like, you know what? Fuck it. Let's just go. There isn't a rapper on this fucking earth that makes me more afraid than O.J. None of them. Because they all want to be rappers. Well, you're also white.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Yeah, he kills whites. I get that. That's what I'm saying. I can see why you'd be more nervous than OJ. OJ kills whites. And Jews. And Jews. You think Schultz is both?
Starting point is 00:30:17 Yeah. I'm the prime target. Okay? I look like I fucked his wife. You're a Tinder match for OJ's killing. He's been dying. He's been years building up. It's fucking Candyman or whatever that guy is.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Ah, damn. Real talk, man. You gotta be worried. There's gotta be some sort of betting on it. Chief Keef kills blacks. You should be more nervous about Keef. Allegedly. He is more nervous about Keef.
Starting point is 00:30:38 That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. I'm telling you. This is exactly why. You made my point for me. I'm sorry to make your own argument. Sorry about that. Let's make a circle. Let's hit the Raptors. All right, fuck it. I'm telling you. This is exactly why. You made my point for me. I just started to make your own argument. Sorry about that. Let's win the circle.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Let's hit the Raptors. All right, fuck it. Let's do it. New NBA champions who I called a year ago at this time. You did. Give me my goddamn credit. I also said Golden State wouldn't win it all. You did.
Starting point is 00:30:56 The Astros dynasty has come to an end, guys. I mean, you did get kind of lucky with a couple injuries, but you did call it. That's how they won all their championships is getting lucky with major injuries. They are the Astros dynasty, and it came to an end. Are the Masters and Asterix winners then? Yeah, I'd give them that. So is every team that wins when they're not, when the other team is not at full potential in Asterix?
Starting point is 00:31:17 I don't want to shit on your theory, but I hear your point. Here's where I would find the nuance. That's every team. I remember LeBron after Ray Allen, and I love the self-awareness. After Ray Allen hit that three and then they won the championship, they asked LeBron what was going through your mind as you missed that shot, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:31:31 And you think he would be like, you know, I always have belief, blah, blah, blah. And he goes, let me tell you something, man. You need a little bit of luck to win a championship. Yeah, of course. And I believe that. You need a little bit of luck. I think the other team's best or second and third best players getting hurt every time you win a championship is more than a little bit of luck.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Yeah, I can see that. Anytime you face adversity, their best players go down. That's more than a little bit of luck. Andre Iguodala getting hurt or like if Fred Van Fleet got hurt, that's a little bit of luck. They didn't beat the Cavs with full – They beat the Cavs with full strength once, but the series before that, they also went underneath Kawhi's ankle, who Kawhi, as we've seen, is a one-man wrecking crew. Yeah, but now you're doing different. They beat the best Cavs.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Oh, no, not always in finals. Yeah, they beat the best Cavs with Kevin Durant, but the series before that, they were getting washed by Kawhi. Right. And then dirtiest play I've seen in the playoffs. Right. Slide underneath his foot, take him out, and then you win. Right. And then you sleep.
Starting point is 00:32:23 But they've also come back from 3-1. They did come back from 3-1. I give them that. I think that you make a good point about the Asterix with certain situations, but they have already come back from 3-1 against a very good team. It's more of a keep that same energy shot at anybody who's like, oh, if Draymond doesn't get suspended for one game,
Starting point is 00:32:41 we win, we 3-peat. Or if these injuries— It's more of me saying, you know what, keep that same energy and acknowledge that you are the luckiest team I've seen with injuries dynasty-wise. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:52 And that's fine. You play who's in front of you, but you're also the luckiest team I've seen. Right. I wouldn't go so... I disagree. I think that they're just the most talented team
Starting point is 00:33:01 that we've ever seen assembled. No, I get it, but I just can't... If somebody can find me a dynasty that got this lucky with injuries, cool. I'll back off. But I just can't think of one. Meaning like the teams that they played. Yes, the teams that you played constantly losing their best players. Are Houston, is Houston.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Houston, Chris Paul, you're down 3-2. No, no, no. Is Houston the old Rockets with Olajuwon? Are they an asterisk? I think that's something you bring up. Yeah. There's no MJ. They didn't have to go against Jordan.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Right. But that's, it's like, does that take away the ring? I don't know. Part of me is like, that's part of the game. That's part of life. It's part of the game. Injuries are part of the game. Health is part of the game.
Starting point is 00:33:30 You're the one who always says the best ability is availability. And if like you're not healthy enough to go when it's go time, then. Do you keep the same energy with football? Football, I don't think there are any asterisks because there's just always massive injuries. Right. So it's like, so basketball, you're saying there's less injuries so you can apply the asterisk rule? So to me, and again, it's more of a keep that same energy thing when you bitch about Draymond or this series. Oh, I tell, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:54 For me, I'm like, shut the fuck up. That's basketball. That's the energy I'm keeping is injuries are part of basketball. And making it through a whole season, one of the difficulties is health. So if you ask me in a one-on-one, am I ever actually going to be like, the Warriors shouldn't have any champs? No, they're fucking good.
Starting point is 00:34:11 But when Warriors fans are like, man, if Draymond doesn't, or whatever, then it's like, all right. And I can say, I'm not going to put an asterisk by it. I'm saying that mockingly, but like you are, you just happen to be the luckiest team I've seen with injuries. I could also make the argument. That's fine. You're champs.
Starting point is 00:34:25 You win it. I wouldn't actually put an asterisk by anybody's championship. You win, and that's all history is going to remember. But if you're going to complain about luck, you are the luckiest team I've seen with injuries. You could also make the argument, though, that even at full strength, those guys aren't touching a full-strength Warriors team. Who, the Raptors? Any team. Any of these teams that they went up against, them at full strength, I still don't think they were better than any of those Warriors team. Who, the Raptors? Any team. Any of these teams that they went up against, them at full strength, I still don't think they were
Starting point is 00:34:46 better than any of those Warriors teams, except maybe the first Cavs-Warriors team that didn't have Kyrie and Kevin Love. Oh, that team would have won. I think Cleveland would at least have took it to 6 or 7 and maybe won it all. Took it to 6 without them. They would have won. Boom, exactly. They might have won. And then the Warriors at that time didn't have championship
Starting point is 00:35:02 medal. I think when they came back against OKC that year, they were champs. It was a different thing with them. 73 wins. That stuff at the fucking apex of his powers. I think they honestly probably beat the Spurs with Kawhi, but it is fucked that a dirty play takes out the guy who was destroying your team. Down 20. You're down 25, I think.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Yeah, I don't know. I just don't want to put the asterisks because I think once we start putting asterisks. No, I don't actually want to put an asterisk, but it's a funny soundbite to say they're an asterisk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. Because then we can go back and we can question every single team in the history of the game. With that being said, I feel like the Raptors are feeling very Dallas Mavericks-y to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:37 I kind of feel like it's kind of this one-all. Bill Russell shouldn't have 11 rings. They didn't let blacks play basketball back then. We can keep going back. But, but, um, yeah, it's a tricky,
Starting point is 00:35:47 it's a, it's a, it's a tricky thing. And, and you never know what you're going to do until you're put in that situation. Like you never know that you're capable of coming back from three, one until you are like LeBron did it.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Golden state almost did it this time. Hey, and a lot of people might say if Clay didn't go down, I don't, cause it felt like this is one of those Golden State runs. Like as it's happening. It was game six Klay happening again.
Starting point is 00:36:09 And then it felt like a fucking Buffalo Wild Wings commercial. Yeah. That's what it felt like. It's like every time the Warriors were about to make a move, somebody turned a switch somewhere. Injury. Right? It was unbelievable to see this go down. They were literally
Starting point is 00:36:25 In the middle of a run And Clay goes up for a dunk Routine That would have put them up I think like six or seven Or some shit like that And then And Clay don't have hops
Starting point is 00:36:33 To come down from a dunk And tear his ACL There's certain people I could see coming down From a leap And then coming And then tearing your ACL But this is a guy
Starting point is 00:36:41 Who barely gets off the ground Yeah Yeah yeah yeah China Clay gets You know they got all those Videos of him like missing dunks in china and shit yeah no bounce and it's so just fucking poetic that like he tears his acl going for a dunk but it was just so odd like that must have been ready to go yeah that had to be ready to go you don't just tear your acl stuff knew it too like stuff threw like a fucking wild pass to him to like to get that dunk because they were
Starting point is 00:37:03 just they were just flying. They were just trying to get as many fast break points as he can. Throws it hard. Literally, as soon as he comes down, you see Steph slam the ball on the floor and sit all the way in the fucking- Because he knew it. He saw it go down. Everybody saw it.
Starting point is 00:37:15 As soon as he fucking saw that replay, I was like, yeah, that's an ACL. That's not- Can't be acting like he a doctor. As soon as I saw it, I knew. Yeah. I knew. Bro, you see how that turns. When I saw the-
Starting point is 00:37:24 Well, there knew. Yeah. I knew it kept rolling. You see that knee, how that turns. When I saw the, well, there's two things. When you come down and can't move, and it looked pretty easy the way you came down, I think that's a guaranteed injury. Yeah. I knew it was an injury. And then when he fucking, but he went. No, no. I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:37:36 You know it's an injury, but you don't know torn ACL. Yeah, absolutely. Like when people. No, no, no. When I saw it, I thought it was an injury. I thought it was an injury. No, no, no. It's in my DNA. I get this shit. No, no, no. I thought thought it was an injury but I knew it was a torn ACL what else was it
Starting point is 00:37:49 that's literally everybody cares about ACL you got a headache maybe he sprained a knee maybe he sprained an MCL that's best case scenario and when he runs back out on the court I was like maybe he's a sprain or something
Starting point is 00:38:04 I don't know that's usually how it goes how did Chris Stapps do it That's best case scenario. Yeah. And when he runs back out on the court, I was like, maybe he's a sprain or something. I don't know. I figured he's hurt. That's usually how it goes. You go up and you land. How did Chris Stapps do it? I don't know. Same shit. Went up to dunk over Giannis.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Same shit. How did everybody tear their fucking ACL when they come down from a dunk? If you come down from any movement, one leg, and you can't move the knee, ACL. Guaranteed. And it bent right where the ACL was. Dude, I don't even want. Dude, there's a video of it. Did you guys see the slow motion video of it? I saw the ACL was dude I don't even want dude there's a video of it did you guys see the
Starting point is 00:38:26 slow motion video of it I saw the replay I didn't see any oh my god and he's fucking and yo like more props to him cause he was over there
Starting point is 00:38:34 bouncing around that's fucking crazy I was like this dude's nuts jogs back out on the court and again that's why I'm like there's gotta be a sprain there's no way this motherfucker
Starting point is 00:38:42 he's going back on defense like jumping up and down like ready to play D and I'm like yo it's got to be a sprain. There's no way this motherfucker is talking on an ACL. He's going back on defense, like jumping up and down, like ready to play D. And I'm like, yo, does this motherfucking even know he had a tornado? And if you watch the replay, if you watch the actual game,
Starting point is 00:38:52 they go to Doorsburg one, they go to Doorsburg backstage or behind the court, whatever, and like, oh, you know, Clay's trying to get himself to play. We don't know. And literally two minutes later, they go back to his like,
Starting point is 00:39:03 oh yeah, no, he's done. He won't return. Like that quick. So you could minutes later they go back to his like, oh yeah, no, he's done. He won't return. Like that quick. So you could tell Clay was still back there like convincing motherfuckers he was good to go. They showed that replay of him walking to the tunnel and then somebody says something to him and then I guess you got to shoot free throws. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:16 If they take you out to not shoot free throws, you're out for the game. Then he just fucking sprints back onto the court. Right. On a torn ACL. Crazy. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Malfoy gets props, man. He gets a shit ton of props for that shit. Yeah. And I mean, it's a smart move, right? He doesn't know that his ACL is torn, or at least he's trying really hard to believe it's not. And he knows that if he comes out of the game and doesn't shoot his free throws, he can't come back in the game at all.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Closeout game. So he's like, well, fuck it. I'll shoot the free throws. I'll go back to the locker room. Maybe it's just a little sprain. Maybe some Paul Pierce shit. I bet you that's what he's thinking in that moment. He's like, oh, playoffs? Paul went out? What was it?
Starting point is 00:39:54 Paul shit his pants. Now we know that. You know what I mean? Yeah, we know that now. You got access to this. What'd you think happened in the moment? In the moment? I thought it was ACL. I thought it was a quick sprain because he was still bouncing up and down. I'm like, all right, he's hurt,
Starting point is 00:40:07 but he ain't going to go out like this. When they carried that motherfucker out, I thought it was ACL, bro. I thought it might be, but then he's walking and bouncing and jumping. I was like, maybe it's a sprain. He's going to fight through it, which I also thought was a beast thing.
Starting point is 00:40:19 I'm talking about Paul. Oh, Paul? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought Paul was on. Yeah. Anyway. Okay, Paul? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought Paul was on. Yeah. Anyway. Okay, so Raptors win. Well, first, before we figure out what the Warriors are going to do for next season,
Starting point is 00:40:34 because I think next season is going to be an interesting conversation, I think we have to salute the best fans in the entire NBA, which are the Toronto Raptors fans. I don't think that there is a city with better fans than the Toronto Raptors. They're a whole country. Right now, I know it's their own country. I know it's a whole country, but we also have to consider that that's to their detriment as well,
Starting point is 00:40:53 right? Because their whole country, there are people that are 3,000 miles away from Toronto that are still rooting for Toronto, that are still getting behind Toronto. They have no connection to that city. Matter of fact, they hate the teams in hockey that play for that city.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Oh, for sure. Right? But they're just getting behind them. They had 2 million people come out for the parade that's going on right now. 2 million people. That's crazy. My friend sent me a video.
Starting point is 00:41:20 I was in Montreal, to be fair. I was in Montreal, and I was with family. We put kids to bed and stuff, and then one, we went out there, and the shit was ending in Montreal. The celebration was done. People are leaving. I'm like, are you fucking... This is whack. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:32 But then my homie sent me a video from Toronto, 1.30 in the morning. It's fucking crazy, dude. They did not stop. That's the thing. You got to understand, the fact that they're celebrating in Montreal is no different than like if the Knicks were celebrating the Warriors win. In New York, we were celebrating the Warriors win. I'm telling you, there's rivalries between these places.
Starting point is 00:41:54 It's a different country. It's like they don't like each other. There's a vote in Montreal, I think every year, whether they should leave Canada. Yeah, Quebec wants to secede or whatever. Yeah. So like it is nuts that there's this national celebration with 2 million people to come on a parade.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Think about that. This is Monday. It ain't Sunday. You have work. You have jobs. You have like city jobs. You have TSA agents. There are people who called in sick today. You can't get nothing done. No. You can't get nothing done.
Starting point is 00:42:25 No. You can't get a sandwich at Quiznos. Nobody went to work today. Nobody. No. I mean, the thing with that is, like, you got to understand, like, they only have one real pro championship since then, like Toronto Blue Jays. Right. It's been, what, 30 years?
Starting point is 00:42:39 Yeah. 37 years? Something like that. They don't got a football team. And the rivalries dissipate when there's no actual team to have a rival. Like, if there was a Montreal basketball team, a Vancouver basketball team, I think they'd be like, alright, cool, we beat America.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Great, we got one. Right. But I don't think this is like, I can easily support the Raptors. Matter of fact, there were kind of cool shirts in Montreal that said, we the North, but we was O-U-I. Like the French, we. Yeah, that's good. So they're like, alright, this is all we got. There's no reason to dislike this team. The team, there's no reason to dislike.
Starting point is 00:43:07 But what happens when you have another team that you don't like there, that gravitates to a city rivalry. Like Boston versus New York is like a city rivalry. It's not just sports. Yeah. I just don't like people from Boston. Boom. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:43:24 It has nothing to do with the sport. Nothing to do with it. I think when you take something that they care that as much as hockey, and there's that big a rivalry as hockey, that I could see it getting. So for them to look past it and just hop on board, fucking sick. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. It's just blown away.
Starting point is 00:43:39 And it's not even their main sport. No. That's why. That's why it's such a huge accomplishment. That's why it's such a huge fucking celebration. Because it's not their main sport. No. That's why. That's why it's such a huge accomplishment. That's why it's such a huge fucking celebration. Because it's not their main sport. They're a hockey town and a pro wrestling. They're a hockey town and a pro wrestling town.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Basketball is still fairly new to them. Vince Carter was the reason why basketball got big over there. So it's still super fucking young. But it was dope, man. It felt like watching the fucking World Cup. This is crazy. Celebrating how the flags and the crowd and all the fucking banners and shit. It was great was it was dope man it felt like watching the fucking World Cup like how they were celebrating had the flags and the crowd
Starting point is 00:44:07 and all the fucking banners and shit it was great it was dope we're never gonna see a finals like this again I don't think what do you mean
Starting point is 00:44:12 one game was won at home this entire series and they're two fucking great fan bases at home like none of it makes any sense the best fans are
Starting point is 00:44:22 Raptors that Warriors fan base ain't shit though now it's been diluted now, probably. But historically, the Warriors fans are incredible. Like, that's a tough place to play. I think they were. I think they got spoiled, though. They got spoiled.
Starting point is 00:44:32 They got rich. They got white. They got priced out. They priced a lot of their people out. Yeah, like the OG We Believe Warriors. Also, let's clarify. The whites got priced out by the Asians. Ain't no more white people in Kansas City.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Asians don't even know how to have emotion. So, like, it's even more so. But it's crazy. When we talk about gentrification, there's an Asian gentrification in Silicon Valley. It's hilarious. That's great. So the Asians are forcing the whites to move the blacks. Seriously, bro.
Starting point is 00:45:00 So the whites are moving into Oakland and they're just like, blame the Asians. We don't want to live with y'all. But the Asians took everything. Real talk. It's a crazy thing going. It is nuts over there, man. It is nuts. But you had that.
Starting point is 00:45:14 You have two massive NBA changing injuries. You got Kawhi, a free agent that was traded for that year, who's a free agent now, who you still don't know if he's gonna stay even with a ring that's a good combo like this is there's so much in this series it's crazy
Starting point is 00:45:29 I gotta shout my boy who listens to the podcast my boy Levine he has said Jason said you know what Kawhi should do Kawhi should just pick a shitty team
Starting point is 00:45:39 every year sign one year contracts take them to the finals and win it and he'll be like a basketball Robin Hood. That is genius. That's go-shit.
Starting point is 00:45:49 What if he just goes to the worst team in the league? He's like the basketball Deion Sanders. Just go to the worst team in the league and then take them to the finals every fucking year. So he'd naturally go to the Knicks this year, right? No. Dude, fuck the Knicks, man. God damn it. We'll get to that later. Oh, yeah? No. Fuck the Knicks, man.
Starting point is 00:46:06 We'll get to that later. So you were saying... The Warriors, what do they do? What do the Warriors do? Can I ask one real quick question? Sorry, about the Warriors. Is this... Give me that pen and paper. Is the Klay injury their karma for pressuring Kevin Durant into playing Game 5? Because if KD doesn't play, you lose Game 5. KD is fine.
Starting point is 00:46:23 Klay doesn't get hurt in Game 6. Is that your karma for putting pressure on a guy you knew was gonna leave to play honestly that's the first thing I thought about the future that's the first thing I thought when Katie went down I was like you only put him out there because you know he's not coming back you're like fuck we're gonna get anything we can out of him because we're dying right now yeah and you know and they knew Clay wasn't going anywhere everybody in the world Klay wasn't going anywhere. Everybody in the world know Klay wasn't going anywhere. And now he's done for the year. And I don't know
Starting point is 00:46:48 what to do. If I'm the Warriors, like, do you waste the year of Steps Prime just like fucking going him and Draymond versus the world? Or do you say,
Starting point is 00:46:56 all right, Klay, you go ahead. KD, you go ahead. And you put yourself into the free agent pool and you make yourself a fucking, a player with like the Kawhis and you make yourself a fucking player with
Starting point is 00:47:05 the Kawhis and the Butlers and the Tobias Harris's of the world. What do you do? I feel like you have to sign Klay because the Warriors work best with Klay. Nobody fits that system better than Klay. You need Klay. Of course. Nobody. You're resigning Klay.
Starting point is 00:47:18 I have a question. KD, I don't think you're- I think KD's gone. If KD opts out, I don't- KD's gone. I mean, KD's gone. Klay is going to stay. I don't – KD's gone. I mean, KD's gone. Klay is going to stay. I think Klay's father said he's absolutely –
Starting point is 00:47:28 Klay said he's absolutely not going anywhere. And let's be honest. If there is one person who is built for an ACL injury, it's Klay Thompson. He's already shown it. He's an amazing shooter. He is not only toughness. Yeah, yeah. He's absolutely tough.
Starting point is 00:47:40 He's an amazing shooter. He does not rely on his athleticism at all. I wonder if it will affect him defensively. That's probably the only way it will affect him. It might affect him defensively. Because you need to slide with those ACLs. You need to slide. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:53 But if there is an injury that it seems that people can come back from now. ACL is not what it used to be. It really isn't. Isn't that fascinating? In our lifetime, in our adult lifetime. That shit took out Penny and Grant Hill. Goats. In their prime.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Well, it wasn't Grant and an ankle, right? Yeah, Grant was an ankle. It was an ankle. Penny was the ACL. Antonio McDyess was another ACL guy. Took everything. These were great talents at one point. And now it is a normal, it's almost like Tommy John surgery for pitching.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Whereas I imagine earlier in their lives, that was it. That's why they called it Tommy John surgery for pitching. Whereas like I imagine earlier in their lives – That's why they called it Tommy John surgery. It was over, right? And now they can come back to throwing harder. That's just what pitchers get now. From what I'm saying, like you just get Tommy Johns. For real. So I was reading an article about it.
Starting point is 00:48:41 So here's the thing. They take a – the reason why they would come back and throw harder is because they took a like – Stronger muscle. Stronger tendon. Okay. I think they take something from your thigh. Yeah. So here you have this arm one and they're like, fuck that.
Starting point is 00:48:55 You might as well take something from a horse. Just put it in. But then what they – they started looking at some studies and it said it's not necessarily the tendon. I started looking at some studies and it said it's not necessarily the tendon. It's that you're doing so much work on the muscles around the region that you're building up, I guess, an ability to throw harder. Just in the rehab process. Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:17 So as a pitcher, you've got to be like, oh, maybe I should have lifted weights. Right, right, right. I could add three miles per hour to my fastball. So what do the Warriors look like next year, though? I think the Warriors just, you know, they re-signed Klay. I think we get to see what I've always wanted to see, which is Steph on a shitty team. I want to see Steph go for 40 every single game. My concern is, and it's going to happen, and my concern with the Warriors is, specifically with Steph, is Steph cannot do that every game for a whole season.
Starting point is 00:49:42 He can't hold that. He will break down. So do you end up injuring Steph in the process? I think you really got to limit him. No back-to-backs. You got to limit minutes. And then when he does play, we're going to watch him go nut. They'll probably make the playoffs, but it'll be a low seed.
Starting point is 00:49:54 And it'll be a really fun season for Steph. I think it will be a historic season. I think it's going to be a fun season. Yeah, I called this on the other show. I said, I think Steph's going to win MVP next year. I think he's going to keep them in striking distance until Klay gets back. People are going to see, instead of Steph going against the top defense in the NBA and the Raptors, he's going to be going up against, like, who sucks right now?
Starting point is 00:50:17 Like, the Mavericks and the fucking Magic and these lower-tier teams. The Knicks. The Knicks, yeah. They're going to be going against these lower tier teams where Steph, it doesn't matter who, he's going to go off and they need him to go off to even be fucking comparable. Yeah. So he might average, he might fuck around and average like 35 next year. Easily.
Starting point is 00:50:36 I can see it happening. And play 60 games. Mm-hmm. I can see it. 65 games. I still think the Warriors make the playoffs. Yeah. They're going to be a low seed.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Yeah. But I think it would be the most exciting. I mean, we would have these conversations, me and a couple of buddies, and they're like, dude, how much fun would it be if you just had Steph on a team where he could go nut? Like where he could do what Lou Williams does. Or James Harden does. Or James Harden does.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Just comes in the game and just gets buckets. Don't handle anything else. And you could even have guys like Quinn Cook come in the game. They could handle more of the distribution. That's honestly what I think you do. I think you sign a guy like fucking Malcolm Brogdon. You make him the real point guard. And then have Steph just go.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Just have him run around. Go. If you sit and watch him during a game, like you get exhausted watching how much this motherfucker just moves around. Go, go, go. To get an open shot. And if he gets to do that for 82 games or I guess like 60 plus game, if you're putting him on a minutes restriction, that's fun. And that's a guy who could be MVP next year.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Okay, so let's talk about Kawhi next year and what Kawhi does. I think he re-signs. I think getting to the finals was the point at re-sign. And winning, I think, guarantees it. That's my theory. I have nothing to support this. I have a hard time. I was listening to Simmons saying he's quite possibly going to LA. The Clippers. I don't see that, man.
Starting point is 00:51:53 If you win it, you stay. There's just no reason. I know he don't really give a fuck, but I'm not leaving a proven winner. And they're set up. So Raptors what's his name? Lowry's coming off the books after next year. And I think Lowry in the playoffs next year will be better. I think once he won the championship, so much weight is lifted.
Starting point is 00:52:12 I think you're going to see him playing way more free. I have a hard time believing after a good game six in a clinching game, at least a great first half, you're still going to be nervous. Good game six. He was the MVP of game six. Fair enough. He almost had a triple-d him. He was the MVP of game six. He won that game for him. He almost had a triple-double. He was 27-6-10.
Starting point is 00:52:28 21 in the first half? Yeah. It was done. No, no. I think what Kawhi allowed him to do is to excel at what he is great at. He is a conductor. And Pascal Siakam. And Pascal.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Sure, Pascal, Mark, all of them help, right? But what he is is an elite conductor. Yeah. And he's an elite conductor who is pretty good at scoring. And earlier in his career, he had to step up his scoring. But that's not his natural inclination. It's not his natural inclination to just go in there and put up 30, 40 points a game. It's his natural inclination to run the fucking orchestra.
Starting point is 00:53:04 And you know what? He has his guys that he can let, you know, do solos. Kawhi can solo. Pascal can solo. But he is there running the orchestra.
Starting point is 00:53:13 I'm going to get some layups. He was making some phenomenal fucking passes. That's it. Dude, get into the basket. And look, look, every once in a while he'll get a bully layup
Starting point is 00:53:20 when you need to. Every once in a while he'll hit a three. He'll hit back-breaking shots when he needs to. But his natural function while, he'll hit a three. He'll hit back-breaking shots when he needs to, but his natural function is just conduct the orchestra. I could see Kyle, no bullshit, I could see Kyle on a team
Starting point is 00:53:35 where he scores four points a game, and he is, he scores four points a game, but he is necessary for the team to function. Do you know what I mean? Andre Guadalla. Yeah, yeah, a little different. he scores four points a game, but he is necessary for the team to function. He's, he's, do you know what I mean? Andre Iguodala. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Yeah. A little different. Andre doesn't run the team. The thing I was trying to bring up that he does, that those guys do, those Iguodalas, Bowens, whatever,
Starting point is 00:53:55 he'll take the charges. He'll run, he'll give effort plays. Like he's a conductor and gives you the effort plays on a role play. A hundred percent. Yeah. He, you get a lot with him in that regard for sure,
Starting point is 00:54:04 because he is going to be scrappy. He's going to get a couple steals a game. He is going to do that. He kind of reminds me of a super... I might be overrating him a little bit. He reminds me of Dallas Jason Kidd. Not like superstar, triple-double like that dude, but
Starting point is 00:54:19 when he was in Dallas in the later prime, later years... He makes winning plays. That's what winning plays. He makes winning plays. That's what it is. He makes winning plays. He could go off a little bit here and there. He's capable at three now where he wasn't in the beginning of his career. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Definitely on the later side of his career, Jason Kidd. Even when he was on the Knicks, when that one good team that they had. I think he's a lot better than Jay Kidd. I understand later in his career. But I understand what you're trying to say. He's doing the intangibles and he's running the show. Yeah. And I think he's better running the show.
Starting point is 00:54:48 What I meant by scoring four points a game is I don't think that his scoring is where he's an asset. And in the playoffs, it's so crazy how you see how game IQ matters. During the regular season, game IQ means nothing, right? There's a guy on the Raptors, Norman Powell, right? And you could just see he has no game IQ. Right. When he's out there, he's just driving recklessly to the basket. Energy guy.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Tons of energy. His athleticism is off the charts. He's got balls. He'll take a big shot, and he'll get those shots sometimes, and it'll really help the team. But he'll also make stupid plays and potentially turn it over. Gerald Green, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:21 A guy like Kyle and a guy like Van Fleet Yeah Elite Game IQ Never made bad decision Right Think about Van Fleet They play winning basketball Van Fleet has been playing Winning basketball
Starting point is 00:55:32 Since college Since college Wichita State Yeah Okay Final four Right That's right
Starting point is 00:55:38 So it's like Those kind of guys In the playoffs Are such fucking assets Like if you look at a guy like Kawhi Remember game five When he passes that ball off When he got double teamed Yeah in the playoffs are such fucking assets. Like, if you look at a guy like Kawhi, remember game five when he passes that ball off when he got double teamed?
Starting point is 00:55:48 Yeah. That's winning basketball. Yeah. They got a good look, but that's winning basketball. And Trey Mellon just made a great defensive play. A guy like Norm might not make that play. He might force something.
Starting point is 00:56:00 He might fuck something up. And it's really interesting when you're putting together a team about tapping into like that's a real skill set right there for like gms and like presidents and even coaches is tapping into players that can make the right play in crucial moments when you're your most anxious and you're most nervous and i do believe kyle can do that this kind of segues into i I guess, our next topic soon. Or maybe, I don't know, whatever. That's why I don't think Kawhi goes to the Lakers.
Starting point is 00:56:32 I think the Lakers need those type of players. Like, if there's anything that these finals have taught me, or the past couple finals taught me, like, stars get you there, you need depth. I think thinking is he's going to the Clippers anyway. I don't know why, if you're Kawhi, you'd want to go be number two to LeBron. Well, today was talking. There was a lot of talk. Damon Jones was on Get Up today saying Kawhi's, you know, the Lakers have focused on trying to get him.
Starting point is 00:56:56 There's some, like, fucking weird trade provision. Like, if it completes by July 6th, they get some more money and some other bullshit. Listen, I've been doubting the Lakers, and I'm clearly wrong a lot about the Lakers. But I'm thinking if I'm Kawhi, I'd be like, I shut this guy down. Your best player that's still going to be your alpha. I shut him down when I wasn't this good in the finals. The guy hates playing me. If you're LeBron James, do you go up to Kawhi and be like, it's your team.
Starting point is 00:57:22 You're the keys. Does that get him there? Maybe, but I don't know if that's in LeBron's DNA. Look, look. You know it's not his. You know it's not? Exactly. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Nobody has been more right about LeBron James than Phil Jackson. Okay. Phil said LeBron's a diva, right? Was it a diva? Was that the comment? No, his posse. He has his whole posse. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:43 And people didn't understand what that really meant. First of all, Phil Jackson's a thousand years old. A posse to him is like a bunch of white guys on fucking horseback. They're like, no, that's if he was 75. He's talking about westerns. Oh, okay. Got you. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:57:59 The blah, blah, blah and the Jackson posse is coming through and they're going to rile up the town, whatever, right? blah and the Jackson posse is coming through and they're going to rile up the town. Right. But what you deal with when you when you're on team with LeBron is you deal with two caravans of people coming backstage before every single game. LeBron's making all the decisions about where the team's going out to eat, all that stuff. And it's OK because he goes to the finals every year. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:58:20 But if you're trying to create a team based on your culture impossible with with uh lebron on the team if lebron is on a team it is lebron's culture so if you're a president or gm and you want to bring in a culture that you think leads to winning that's different than lebron can't have it and to me kawaii strikes me as the guy who is high culture. If there's one thing he took from pop, it is winning fucking culture. We didn't know he had a personality until after he won.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Now, all of a sudden, he's like this gregarious kind of funny guy, right? He's a funny guy. He wouldn't even slap hands with Norman Powell before the game. You know how LeBron goes zero dark 30? Kawhi goes zero dark autism until he gets to the finals and wins it. He goes zero dark 30 Kawhi goes zero dark autism until he gets
Starting point is 00:59:05 until he gets to the finals and wins it he goes zero dark 82 dude he went zero dark 82 for like five seasons yeah
Starting point is 00:59:12 we haven't seen personality zero dark 410 real talk we haven't seen personality since the last time they won
Starting point is 00:59:19 yeah facts facts bro look at him right now he's fucking the video of him and Kyle Lowry Talking
Starting point is 00:59:26 Oh right With Rachel Nichols Where he's like Yo it's your trophy As much as it is mine He talked about The text message He sent Kyle Lowry
Starting point is 00:59:33 The day after the trade Like look man I know you're mad Look at the one With him and Serge In the car If there's anything That convinces me
Starting point is 00:59:37 That he's staying It's those videos Serge got a video Of him and Kawhi In the back of the car And he goes I'm here with the fun guy And he says something like,
Starting point is 00:59:45 yay, yay? There's some kind of, like, hip-hop reference. It's like, whoa! It looked like he was rolling something up. No, it didn't. Real talk. He was focused, man. He was ready to go.
Starting point is 00:59:55 In town smoking legal, like Drake says, bro. I was like, that's definitely not a cigar, Kawhi. I respect that. I would not be surprised if he ends up staying because let's be honest. West is depleted. East is dysfunctional. He already went through the East. Yeah, he went through
Starting point is 01:00:13 all the monsters of the East. The West ain't what it is, what it used to be because KD's out. Klay's out. Houston's about to blow up. You need credit also for LeBron easting the West or whatever, seeing that the West was going to topple. West does not look strong anymore.
Starting point is 01:00:29 I mean, I wouldn't get that crazy. It ain't the East. I'm more scared of the East. It ain't the East. Balance of power has shifted. And he went through with East. So it's like,
Starting point is 01:00:39 if I'm Kawhi and all I care about is winning chips because that's all he cares about. And I know that I have a young core in Toronto that's intact still. I mean, Kyle's not young, but you need some veteran. They can pay him.
Starting point is 01:00:52 No, I mean, do they have money to get other pieces around them? But my feeling is, who do you need if you did it with this team and you can keep this whole team? People are going to retool. You got to be able to. So here's where they're set up for the future. Kyle Lowry's contract comes off the books at the end of next year. I think Marc for the future. Kyle Lowry's contract comes off the books at the end of next year. Yeah. I think Marc Gasol also has a pretty big contract that comes off the books.
Starting point is 01:01:09 He does. Yeah. So you're going to have cap space next year. You bring back your championship team. You make a run. You add a piece here and there. You make your run. And if you don't do what you want to do, these guys are free.
Starting point is 01:01:20 And you got cap space with one of the best players in the league. And guess where. In a city everyone loves playing in. Guess where free agents want to be now because of Drake. Guess where free agents want to be now because of a championship. Now that you've been celebrated. Real talk. So it's like you could play, if you're a free agent,
Starting point is 01:01:36 you could get max money to play with Giannis in Milwaukee or literally an hour away in Toronto. You know what I'm saying? Like Milwaukee is not a desired location. No. You're gonna make more money in like,
Starting point is 01:01:49 what, ads and shit, sponsorship, whatever that fucking thing is called. What is it called where you're the spokesperson? Sponsorships.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Sponsorships in Toronto than you are in Milwaukee. I mean, Toronto's a major market city. Toronto will throw everything at you. Yeah, like, Toronto's a major- They will throw everything at you.
Starting point is 01:02:03 You're all they got. I'd be shocked if he left. Shock got. I'd be shocked if he left. Shocked. I'd be shocked if he left too. And if you're Toronto, you can't be pissed. Because you did exactly what he said. They don't give a fuck. You say thank you.
Starting point is 01:02:15 We appreciate what you did for us. We appreciate what you did for our city. And you keep it moving. And you know what? Toronto will be back even if they do lose them. They'll be back. Like you said, they get a bunch of cap space. They've already shown how they treat star players.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Sandy for an office. I mean, Maggi Uri might be leaving to D.C. Masai might be heading to D.C. So we can talk about that real quick. Oh, yeah. Let's talk about what happened at the end of the Warriors game. So Toronto Raptors win. Masai Ujiri is the president of Toronto Raptors.
Starting point is 01:02:48 He's trying to go onto the floor. Security guard stops him from going onto the floor. He allegedly either slaps or punches the security guard and then pushes him. And the security guard is a deputy. He's a police deputy. Love it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:03 And then later Kyle tells him to come on the floor then they bring him on the floor and um so far nothing has happened he flew directly back to toronto and um it's a clear case of white privilege i mean it's a clear case oh a few games ago black games ago we got the one of the minority owners of the Warriors literally shoving Kyle Lowry. And it's like, now the shoe's on the other foot. You better not do nothing about that shit. Like, what the fuck? Well, no, that owner is suspended for a year.
Starting point is 01:03:36 Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Are we suspending Masai for a year? Because Masai punched a cop. Well, the Oakland police said he couldn't get on the court because he didn't have a credential. All the video evidence has literally shown the credential on his hand trying to get on the court. Sure, sure.
Starting point is 01:03:51 That being said, I think it's somewhat... You have to somewhat sympathize with the cop, right? Which is... I don't. I do because your one job that night is stop people from coming onto the court. You know at the end of the game, there are going to be people that are trying to come onto the court. And everybody and their cousin and their sister is going to want to hug their players. You're also supposed to regulate that.
Starting point is 01:04:12 And by regulating that, you look at people who have credentials. You see people of interest who should be on the court. It's not a lineup, though. It's not a lineup. It is the one place where profiling seems like it should go the other way. If I see a black guy walking on a basketball court, you probably belong here. If I see a white guy, let me see some credentials, because I don't know how you got here.
Starting point is 01:04:30 So here's a perfect example of him not profiling. It's like, this guy's not a bigot. This guy's actually treating everybody equal. What, 6'5 black guy? You don't know anybody. I'm not saying he's a... It's his literal job to not... What I'm saying is Messiah's a fucking idiot for doing that.
Starting point is 01:04:46 You just won the fucking championship. This is what you do. You step back. You go, here is my badge. I am the president. And if he doesn't do it, then you go, okay, I'll speak to someone else. I'll make it happen. You just won.
Starting point is 01:04:59 You couldn't even celebrate with your team. You had to get sent back to Canada because there's no extraditing people who break the law from Canada. Well, no. He got sent back because his daughter's graduation. You believe that? Bro, he took a picture. He was there the next day. He was there the next day with his daughter like, yo, crazy 24 hours for the president of the Raptors.
Starting point is 01:05:20 You are crazy, bro. Come on. How do you do that? You are the president of a billion-dollar franchise. You have to be more responsible in that situation. Masai be getting hype. Remember when he cussed in the mic at the little pep rally? My kind of guy, bro.
Starting point is 01:05:36 My kind of guy, bro. Fuck the Knicks or something. He was screaming something like that. Yeah, he said, fuck the Knicks. I think they were playing in the playoffs. Masai be getting hype. Yeah, I fuck with him. I like it. Slap a little cop here and there. He's on the chip. I'd be getting hype. Hey, I fuck with him. I like it.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Slap a little cop here and there. He's on the chip. What are they really going to do? Any security, any event you've been to, security has a list of people. People of interest. They'll have pictures next to them, and they'll have the picture of the credential.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Don't let anybody in this court that isn't this guy or have this credential. And if you're doing your job, you should know, hey, this is the president of the team. I'm going to remember that next time we pull up to Duce Palooza. You should! And I'm going to just walk in. I'm going to just walk in. You already did that! I got stopped, you walked in!
Starting point is 01:06:14 And I'm going to see, no I didn't, they came and got us. But I'm going to see, I'm going to just flash my, and then I'm going to walk past the security guard, and when the security guard pushes me back, I'm going to punch him in the face, and then I'm going to see how that works out. I'm going to see if Ducey goes, oh, we apologize. We should have been able to profile your face.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Because it's not your party. They clearly have the right to punch you in the face. It ain't. Masai's party. Masai's a guest. It kind of turned into his party. He's a guest. He's a guest.
Starting point is 01:06:38 If he was at home, he walks right into that court. He ain't at home. I don't know, bro. Yo, son, what does the president of the Utah Jazz look like? I think, who knows? Exactly! But I think if some shit's going down. Nobody knows what these people look like.
Starting point is 01:06:49 If some shit's going down, Adam Silver's going to be like, hey, we kind of need that guy, security guy or sheriff. Leave him alone and just bring him on the fucking stage. That's what I'm saying. If he waited two seconds. We know what Masai looks like, though, because Masai gets a lot of credit. Masai in the news. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Masai also one of the few black team presidents out there. You know what Masai looks like? Not at all. Ed, and you know what Masai looks like? Not at all. You know what Masai looks like? Not at all. Nobody knows what he looks like. Let's be honest. If I'm a sheriff and I'm supposed to secure the area. If Masai wasn't from Nigeria you'd have no fucking clue. No but if I'm securing
Starting point is 01:07:15 the area and I'm like hey this is the president of the Raptors you should probably know who this guy is or where they're sitting. Yes that's something you should know. Sheriff? No? And he had the credential on his hand. Well, I haven't seen him
Starting point is 01:07:31 show the credential. There's a video of him. No, no, there's a picture. I know the one. All I'm saying is you're the head of a billion dollar franchise. You have to be more responsible. You cannot act like that. We have to hold everybody accountable. It's easy for us to be more responsible you cannot use you cannot act like that you can't we have to we have to hold everybody accountable it's easy for us to be on a podcast and be like yo that's what's
Starting point is 01:07:49 up man i want to see him snuff a cop this that the other this isn't this isn't small potatoes here this is a billion dollar franchise it's a different game i would not be surprised if that hurt him and his chance if he gets arrested which he very well could be if he doesn't get arrested this is a clear case of hey if you got money got money, nothing affects you in America. No matter what you look like. And you won. And you won, right? But you beat the team that those deputies root for.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Yeah. So they're going to want to arrest you. You know what I mean? Let's be honest. But you're making people money. Yeah. You make money and you're making people money. If you make important people money, hey, man, do it.
Starting point is 01:08:27 It's no different than a sales job. My first day job was Verizon Wireless. The best salesperson would just go to get drunk at lunch, come back to work. Nobody said shit. He made them money. If Masai makes you money, I'll take care of you. Yeah. Also, we don't have to even talk about him making them money.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Masai is a multimillionaire. We're talking about a guy who gets paid millions of dollars. This guy is elite. Top 1%. Rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich. You know what I mean? So it's like, and when you're that rich, you get to punch cops. Regardless if you're white, black, Asian, Indian, you get to punch a cop in the face and then fly home.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Well, you should provide proper context, like you just won NBA championship, you're going on the court, and the reason why you punch the cop is because you're preventing him from going on the court, which is within his right to be at. First of all, a cop could tell you, hey, we can't let anybody on the court right now
Starting point is 01:09:18 because we're securing the situation, and a lot of people are trying to rush the court, so we don't care if you have a credential or not, we just need to secure the situation and protect the players. That's our job to protect the players. You give the cops a lot of slack. A whole lot of slack. They should know the people of interest
Starting point is 01:09:34 that would be like, okay, that's Norman Powell. How often are we going to a party? How often are we going to a party where they're like, hey, I know you're on the list. I know who you are. I know you have a credential. Right? I just went to when I was at the Raptors.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Right? I was at the Raptors game five. Drake's got a club inside the Raptors thing. I'm on the list to go to this club. I walk up. They're like, hey, we're not letting anybody else in. I go, I'm on the list to be here. I have me plus three.
Starting point is 01:10:00 They're like, we understand that, but we're not letting anybody in off the list because it's too packed in there. plus three. They're like, we understand that, but we're not letting anybody in off the list because it's too packed in there. Maybe it's completely reasonable to just go, hey guys, we're not letting anybody on the floor right now until we can organize the floor, secure the floor for the players.
Starting point is 01:10:14 It's our job to secure the floor for the players. Everybody's trying to rush. Everybody's mom, everybody's cousins, everybody's kids trying to rush. Nobody's getting on. Give us a second. That is completely reasonable to wait a second. It also didn't look like that was the type of conversation that was going on. But none of us saw the conversation because- You're right.
Starting point is 01:10:29 I don't know the conversation. You know what's crazy? Is it when- Do we have the video? No, we don't. They don't have a video. There is a video. Not full.
Starting point is 01:10:37 There's a video. Show me the video. Pull that video up. There's a video. I'm seeing the video. Pull that up. The conversation didn't look like, hey guys, we're going to just keep hanging out there. I didn't say it was like that.
Starting point is 01:10:47 It could be like, no, nobody's in. But the reason, like you said, intent matters or context matters. The reason is because, hey, we have to protect these players. And everybody can't just run onto the floor. We don't care if you have credential. Absolutely. But they also put out a statement saying he didn't have a credential. No, no, he had a credential.
Starting point is 01:11:04 Of course. That's the reason why people are pissed off like they the oakland police put out a statement saying like well he tried to get on the court he didn't have a credential and like everybody on twitter was like here he is clearly they didn't have a credential the story the cop says he didn't have a credential he refused to something uh produce on whatever and then if there's video evidence that's what i want to see but uh i haven't seen i don't want to spend 20 minutes on it because I even think what's more interesting
Starting point is 01:11:27 is what does he do next year? Let's assume he beats this. Does he go to the Wizards? Yeah. He's from D.C., right? Is that why they gave him the big holy shit contract? He's from Africa, son. Clearly.
Starting point is 01:11:38 But I'm saying, is that where he's from? My man don't sound like he's not from Africa. You know what I mean? He sounds like an immigrant. He was holding out the Nigerian flag over his fucking suit, which was dope. Does he go to dc i think dc fuck no i think it'd be smart if they and they're probably give them a bag give them something they're giving him ownership ownership share yeah which is out what they're offering that's what i was reported that's what
Starting point is 01:11:59 i read which i doubt it's even one percent but if it's a percentage of ownership that's worth a shit load and that's money that's constantly appreciating and furthermore you now I'm curious about the ownership share if he gets that in perpetuity
Starting point is 01:12:20 or he only has that while he's president of the team which is possible. But either way, you're making money as you're doing it. What I would do with it, I see no reason why not to do it, right? It's like you've already climbed the highest mountain. Beating the Golden State Warriors, regardless if they were depleted or not, that was the best team in basketball, right?
Starting point is 01:12:44 There's no other team to beat. There's no other dragon to slay. You've already accomplished it. It's a soul stone. You've got the soul stone. So now you have the opportunity to go to a team that's going to be complete rebuild. It's going to be a complete shit show.
Starting point is 01:12:59 I mean, very little expectations. You'll be afforded time to make it right. And you will. 100% be afforded time to make it right. And you will be afforded time to make it, uh, make it right. And the NBA is in flux. So you might be able to grab some guys out of nowhere.
Starting point is 01:13:10 Um, that being said, you're doing that strictly for monetary gain. Yeah. You're, you've already had the challenge of taking a team that was dog shit and winning an NBA championship. You've done it.
Starting point is 01:13:21 So now you're doing this strictly for money. Yeah. And i cannot hate on anybody who wants to set their family up their fucking and if they've already accomplished what they need to accomplish in terms of like this is what i this is my goal i accomplished my goal now i'm just gonna go get money all right cool you do what the fuck you set out to do yep if you sell out and like you haven't really won anything you're like look i was trying to build something but the money is here i still get it but especially if you're like look I came here I got you what you
Starting point is 01:13:47 wanted I got what I wanted let's go right on top of that I want to see this video can we get it on the TV on top of that he's shown that he can fleece people and the Wizards got Bradley Beal on the table oh so Messiah's shrewd he can fleece some teams
Starting point is 01:14:04 with that all star player shrewd businessman shrewd owner can fleece some teams With that all star player Shrewd Businessman Shrewd owner Fleece the fucking heads Nigerian dog Of course he's gonna get He's gonna cheat everybody
Starting point is 01:14:10 This guy told me that there's two Tribes in Nigeria Right Ebo and Yoruba Ebo and Yoruba He says one is all about business And the other is all about like studies Yes
Starting point is 01:14:21 Which one is Ebo Is Oh no no Take off the see there is no video this is after the transaction so just pause for a second so pause for a second so now
Starting point is 01:14:35 if you don't think that this is by design then you're crazy when a guy in the fan said something to oh here we go let's see if we got it. Kyle Lowry had to pull him out. Kyle Lowry's the classiest guy in this entire finals. Yo, is there anybody whose stock has risen more than Kyle Lowry this season?
Starting point is 01:14:59 So here's the thing. We have a stadium, right? Which probably has, I don't know, a thousand different cameras going at any point in time. We have anybody in the stands says anything to a player. All of a sudden, we have a single cam on them, zoomed in. We're reading their mouths. And we can't find one video of what happened. This is also
Starting point is 01:15:17 doing Google, so it's quite possible there's a thousand videos out there. There's also a whole championship celebration happening on the court. Let's just back up for a second. I told you I looked for the video. I didn't see it at all. This video would be all over Twitter. It'd be all over Instagram.
Starting point is 01:15:30 When somebody gets knocked out in a boxing match, there's 15 different angles, 15 different videos. The only video we have is after the scrum. There's no evidence of said scrum, nothing. Now, I think we know what this is. Adam Silver, hey, don't let any fucking videos go out. Why not? Because it's bad for the league. It's going to look bad for basketball. So what we're going to do is we're going to protect this guy who fucked up because he's great for basketball. The last thing thing we need is first black president in the NBA finals for his team to be punching a policeman after the win. The last thing
Starting point is 01:16:09 the NBA needs is that. So we're going to call Golden State Warriors. We're going to call Golden State Police Department. We're going to call everybody we have to do. We're going to massage this shit because it's better for business. I don't believe that. Fair enough. I don't believe that because I'm like, first off, that makes me think there just was no punch or there was no shove. Why is that?
Starting point is 01:16:25 There might have been a yelling match. I don't think there was a punch or a scrub. Charles Oakley fucking choked somebody in the Madison Square Garden and there was videos of that shit everywhere. Charles Oakley doesn't make anybody money. It's the Knicks. The Knicks make the most money out of as shitty as they are. Charles Oakley got banned
Starting point is 01:16:41 from the Knicks and you need a reason why. You could get Charles out of here. And Charles choking someone is par for the course, right? Charles not choking someone would be more surprising. But Charles choking someone who was annoying to him? Damn right, Charles. I mean, the more I think about it, the more I think, I don't think there was no punch. If the cops are saying, oh, this guy put hands on me, then I absolutely don't believe that happened. You think there was no punch, period?
Starting point is 01:17:00 I don't think there was a punch. There might have been a fucking, you know when people want to fight, but they don't really want to fight? Yeah, a mush, a little, what are those? And then mad people get in the way. You think a bicep shove. And then mad people get out of the way. It's the hold me back, hold me back. I think that was probably that.
Starting point is 01:17:15 But a full on punch and nobody got the video? Pretend Black Twitter isn't listening to this. Now tell us what you think. If somebody gets punched in an arena, video is coming out. Listen, I'm on record as saying I don't give a fuck if he punched a cop. That cop doesn't look like he got punched. Dude, if he got punched, cops is coming out. Fuck all the dumb shit.
Starting point is 01:17:34 That's why they're chasing him and the guy was in between going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. His friend is in between the cops and Masai begging them to stop because it happened. I'm on record as saying if he punched a cop, that's great. That's great. If he punched a cop, everyone would have saw it. No better way to celebrate
Starting point is 01:17:50 than punching a cop if you're a black dude. If he punched a cop, everybody would have saw it. If I could get away, if I'm a black dude not getting together with punching a cop
Starting point is 01:17:56 and winning a championship, there's no better night. Fuck my daughter's graduation. This is the greatest night of my life. Can we acknowledge that? But saying he didn't happen, that's wild.
Starting point is 01:18:04 I don't think it happened. I think what this is testing- Thousands of people in there. They can't get everyone's video tonight. That's exactly what I'm saying. But this is testament to Canada creating a post-racial society, because if you have a black man confident enough to punch a cop in the face, Canada must be doing something right, because there is no way in hell a black man in America would look at a cop who said you can't get in
Starting point is 01:18:25 and just go, I should punch you in your face for saying that to me. There'll be no repercussions. Not at all. We have two black men in the room right now. Would you punch a cop in the face? Hell fucking no. Of course not, because I don't think it happens. Because you don't live in Canada.
Starting point is 01:18:40 That's why. Fuck Canada, bro. Canada, there is no race. Fuck Canada. Canada, everyone is Drake They're in Oakland That's where Rodney King shit happened Right?
Starting point is 01:18:49 Fuck all that shit They ain't punching I don't think nobody got punched I think it was a fuck I think somebody You're wild I'm wild? You don't believe OJ killed Nicole
Starting point is 01:18:56 You believe You don't believe Messiah pushed I didn't say all that about OJ Second of all You said allegedly Because You be throwing out allegedly
Starting point is 01:19:04 Against the court of law, he beat the case, so that's what you gotta say. But anyway. So did the cops in Oakland. Bruh. You really believe the cops. You gonna bring up Rodney King?
Starting point is 01:19:12 I'm just saying. You really believe the cops. They literally just said, oh, he didn't have a credential. We all just saw the credential. I'm just saying they beat the trial. We have to say allegedly. Keep that same energy.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Listen, I don't believe cops as much as y'all do. You see, I'm not keeping, all I'm saying is you're not keeping the same energy. Bruh. I'm not saying what I believe. I don't really believe anything much as y'all do. You see, all I'm saying is you're not keeping the same energy. Bruh. I'm not saying what I believe. I don't really believe anything.
Starting point is 01:19:28 The energy's been kept. I just disagree with whatever everybody else believes. The energy's been kept. Is this reparations for Rodney King? It's the NBA finals. Is that what this is? There's a whole celebration happening on the basketball court. Cops beat Rodney.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Messiah beats cops. It's payback. I don't believe that shit, bro. I'm just saying Rodney King didn't get beaten. He got allegedly beaten. If that cop got punched by that rich motherfucker, do you think he would sit there
Starting point is 01:19:49 on his fucking ass and not sue the fuck... They wouldn't call that shit the Oakland State Raptors after that shit? Are you kidding me? They'd sue the fucking pants over that motherfucker
Starting point is 01:19:57 before they even got back to Toronto. Oakland State Raptors. Dude, he could... I don't know. Whatever the fuck. It's not a state. You know what the fuck I meant. God damn it.
Starting point is 01:20:04 I just don't think he got punched. He didn't look like he got punched if he did get punched. I don't know. It's not a state. You know what the fuck I meant. God damn it. I just don't think he got punched. He didn't look like he got punched. If he did get punched, he'd sue the fuck out of that dude. Why can't we look at this as a major moment in civil rights history? I'm saying that's how I'm looking at it. Why can't we look at true equality here? Black people punching
Starting point is 01:20:20 cops and no punishment whatsoever? I need proof. This is magnificent. I need proof. Real talk. This is an accomplishment.
Starting point is 01:20:31 This is what Martin was talking about. This is what Malcolm was talking about. What did Malcolm say? You put your hand on me. I put my hand on you or something? Put your hand in your pocket. Something about pockets. I don't know. Listen, the point is he had an important thing about putting your hand in someone's pockets. The point is this. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know listen the point is he had an important thing about putting your hand in someone's pockets
Starting point is 01:20:45 point is this i don't know malcolm x good guy so the point is i think messiah has really reached a milestone achievement in the united states of america he is wealthy enough to punch a cop in the face and not be punished because of it. We should all be so happy that the United States as a country has reached this part of our history. Think about it. This is amazing.
Starting point is 01:21:15 What are you talking about? And we got black people acting like Trump supporters just looking the truth in the face and denying it. Trump supporters? You all believe in cops on their word it. Trump supporters? Fake news. You over here believing cops on their word when they literally just you just show that they lied. But I don't
Starting point is 01:21:29 give a fuck. I'm glad he got snuffed. But he didn't. If he got you show me footage of this motherfucker. There's 15,000 people in there. Why don't you do a podcast with Mandy if that's what we're gonna do? Fuck outta here with that shit, dog. Fuck outta here with that shit. You over here believing cops and calling me a to do. Fuck out of here with that shit, dog. Fuck out of here with that shit. You don't even believe in cops.
Starting point is 01:21:46 They're calling me a Trump supporter. Fuck out of here, dog. I support Mandy. Fuck out of here. Love you, Mandy. Love you, boo-boo. God damn. Whatever, Mandy.

Starting point is 01:25:55 If you got Verizon, Spectrum, whatever the hell. Check it out. Check that out. Talking lots of sports shit on there. And yeah, I think that's it. I think that's it. Download the station head app. That's about it, bro.
Starting point is 01:26:06 Yeah, for real. Download that shit. Okay, so let's get to... Okay, we could talk about the KD. Yeah, let's talk about the KD situation. Hey, I have a real quick finals question. Just a real quick hypothetical. Draymond, when he calls that timeout
Starting point is 01:26:17 and they don't have any timeouts left, that's a technical, right? If there was a game seven, would that be his seventh technical and would he have been suspended for that game? I don't know. If anybody knows the answer to that. That's a hell of a question.
Starting point is 01:26:28 I thought by some miracle they'd get this. Isn't that his seventh technical? I didn't know that you receive a tech for that. That's the Chris Webber. He pulled a Chris Webber. That's why Kawhi shot that free throw. I remember I said that. Technically, would that go to the coach?
Starting point is 01:26:43 No, because he called the timeout. Yeah, but I don't know I don't know if it's a team technical or a personal technical but it was it was funny because he called that timeout
Starting point is 01:26:52 I remember in that moment I was like them Michigan boys bro they can't help themselves the whole state he was just paying homage bro that's all he was doing and Golden State
Starting point is 01:27:01 was in the blue and gold like he looked like he was in a Michigan. Draymond Mitch State. Oh, he was State? Yeah. But he's from Michigan. Sang it all.
Starting point is 01:27:12 Anyway. Okay, what were you saying though, Kaz? So what happens with- With KD. What do you think he does? I think KD- I think we know what's going to happen with KD. KD's going to sign with the Knicks.
Starting point is 01:27:26 And- I think we know what's going to happen with KD. KD's going to sign with the Knicks. And can we back up a second? Let's back up a second. Okay. Because I got some, I think we're on the same wavelength with this show. I want to talk about how the Franks and Beans Knicks are going to do exactly what I said they were going to do in free agency and fuck it up. Okay? Fuck it up. Okay? Fuck it up massively. They lost out on Kyrie, thank God.
Starting point is 01:27:51 They're going to lose out on Kemba because the Lakers are doing a big, strong push for Kemba. They lost out on AD. KD, they lose out on because even if they do sign him, he's coming back from an Achilles. All for a year. And he's out for a year. And who knows if he's even going to come back. And's coming back from an Achilles. All for a year. And he's out for a year. And who knows if he's even a KD.
Starting point is 01:28:05 Ever going to come back. And I remember you saying an Achilles injury, it literally changes the shape of the calf. Yeah. So you're never. Never the same again. Almost never the same. Never the same again.
Starting point is 01:28:14 Now, was he a big leaper? No. He's bony, though. What's more to change? He doesn't have massive calves like that. He never had big calves. Sure. But at the same point in time, it's going to change the way that you play the game.
Starting point is 01:28:27 Does he have a game that can come back from it? Sure, but it's going to change the way you play the game. And this would happen to the Knicks. And the Knicks, what they constantly do is they forget that they are not – they're a big market team with little market interest. And they're like the hot chick that got fat and she's walking around not realizing she got fat because her tits are still big
Starting point is 01:28:49 right so she getting attention for her tits but she don't realize real talk the Knicks are Snooki right you're a fat fucking girl Knicks Knicks are fat fucking girl you look hot like looking at your own tits I'm still hot you get attention from a fucking delivery boy.
Starting point is 01:29:06 You get attention from some fucking people building on a building site, but you are not getting attention from the majors, but they don't realize that. So they do not plan for the mid-level guys. They're like, we're going to go after AD. We're going to go after KD. We're going to go after Kyrie. You don't have the clout to get any of them. Knicks, you are a piece of shit organization run by idiots.
Starting point is 01:29:31 Nobody wants to play for you. So what you have to do is get what's left. That's the best you could do is get what's left. And your entire free agency strategy should be put towards getting what's left. I think we might miss out on Chris Middleton. I think there was a chance. I was like, worst case scenario. He's restricted, isn't he?
Starting point is 01:29:49 But he might... He might opt out and be unrestricted. Yes. Okay. So I think the worst case scenario I was saying before was Chris Middleton, Tobias Harris. I don't even know if we'll get Chris Middleton. I truly don't believe...
Starting point is 01:30:00 We might get Tobias Harris and fucking whoever. I don't know. Honestly? If you sign KD, you don't want we might get Tobias Harris and fucking whoever. I don't know. Honestly. If you sign KD, you don't want Chris Middleton. You tank for one more year with KD on ice. You try to get another lottery pick. Then you have, what's the guy that you think is going to be so good? R.J. Barrett.
Starting point is 01:30:17 R.J. Barrett in his second year when KD comes back. You have another lottery pick, hopefully a high one, ready to develop. You sign KD, you put him on ice, you keep the tank-a-thon going. If you sign KD, do not fuck it up and sign Chris Middleton. Anybody who will get you wins, no. Keep your salaries clear and tank one more year. I got sources and I got scoops. All right, go.
Starting point is 01:30:38 All right. Just like I told you, the AD trade was happening this weekend, and it did. KD is going to the Knicks. Kyrie is going to the Nets. KD's camp is trying to convince Kyrie to come to the Knicks. Kyrie is trying to convince KD to come to the Knicks, to the Nets. The hang-up there was one, the injury. If he didn't get injured, he'd have a better shot of convincing Kyrie to change his mind or whatever.
Starting point is 01:31:06 He bought a spot in Dumbo, had a spot in the Upper East Side. Now, like, he's here. He's basically picking between the two. Secondly, the D'Angelo Russell thing. The one thing that ever since, you know, news has gotten out that, like, oh, I guess through D'Angelo Russell's camp, he pretty much leaked to the media through his people, like, hey, hey like we signed kairi like i understand you know and people are in around kairi's camp are kind of wondering do we want another fucking weird pr thing that you just left with the celtics like they got this fun brooklyn team led by this fun point guard we thought he's gonna play together like that was
Starting point is 01:31:40 kairi's plan like all right well we'll we'll make it work together. D'Angelo Russell's camp is like, nah. Like, if y'all bringing him here, like, this is a one-point guarantee. Kyrie don't make it work. Kyrie ain't going to make it work. That's what D'Angelo's thinking. So now, if KD's healthy, all right, Kyrie, we'll go to the Knicks. We'll make it work. Now, does Kyrie want to waste a year with the Knicks and bumming it
Starting point is 01:32:02 and KD's not going to be available for another year? So that's the whole hang-up with everybody right now. KD wants to be in New York. That's his plan. Kyrie wants to be in the Nets, but now his team is like, we don't know if he wants to go through the same bullshit he just went through with Boston. That's the only thing going on.
Starting point is 01:32:22 So what do we think is going to happen? I think they get a stalemate. I think Kyrie still goes to Brooklyn. I think KD goes to the Knicks. Where does D'Angelo go? I've heard two locations. Well, three locations now. Utah, Phoenix, and Indiana.
Starting point is 01:32:44 I would be interested in Utah and Indiana. Utah, and I'm interested in Phoenix, Indiana. I would be interested in Utah and Indiana. Utah and – I'm interested in Phoenix, actually. No, no. Phoenix is too much already. D'Angelo, Devin Booker, DeAndre Ayton, Kelly Oubre Jr. That's a nice little young core. Yeah, but you can't do D'Angelo and – Booker?
Starting point is 01:32:59 Booker. They're homies. They're really close. They can't play together. It's a similar style, it seems like. It's just too many guys taking bad shots. Pacers do interest me, too. If Oladipo comes back.
Starting point is 01:33:09 But Oladipo needs the rock in order to be effective. No, he could be a really good two guard. Because when he was, I'm not saying he can't play good two, but he needs the ball in his hands. D'Angelo needs the ball in his hands. Without the ball in his hands, he can't help his team. So he's not going to be just a spot-up shooter. He needs to be able to create. I agree. So I think if you believe in a guy like him, he can't help his team. Right. Right? So he's not going to be just a spot-up shooter. Right. He needs to be able to create.
Starting point is 01:33:25 I agree. So I think if you believe in a guy like him, he's like shitty Kemba. So if you believe in a guy like him, you've got to build around him. And you've got to get guys who need someone who can create and then dish and then hit. I put shooters around him. Mm-hmm. That's what I mean. The Nets were doing pretty well.
Starting point is 01:33:41 Yeah. I would have rocked that boat with someone like Kyrie. That's my thing. I would never rock that boat. That's my thing. If I'm Brooklyn, do I really want Kyrie? If you're going after Kyrie, you're basically saying I just want to steal headlines from the Knicks and we're just going after marquee names because
Starting point is 01:33:55 we want to be the team in New York City. You know how you beat the team in New York City? When? Make the playoffs. Win games, bro. It's that easy. New York, we are desperate for a winner. You know how quickly Knicks fans will shift our focus to the Nets? Oh, listen. You know how quickly that will happen if the Nets actually win? And you know what?
Starting point is 01:34:12 They deserve it. That's because I'm a Knicks fan. They fucking deserve it. Don't mean I ain't going to Brooklyn Nets playoff games. Oh, be honest. Facts. I'm in that bitch. And you know what?
Starting point is 01:34:19 We right there. The subway's right there. Everything is convenient. It is convenient to become a Nets fan. It is convenient to become a Nets fan. It is convenient to become a Nets fan. And all they gotta do is start winning, and all the Knicks gotta do is keep disrespecting us, keep spitting on our face,
Starting point is 01:34:34 keep not doing anything to become a winning team, keep rehiring the same dumbasses that make the fucked up Franks and Beans decisions that got us here in the first place. I think they're making good decisions, bro. What? I think they're making good decisions. Name one. They cleared the cap. They cleared the cap.
Starting point is 01:34:49 They got a pretty good pick. They've been drafted well. They drafted well last year. They got some really good second round and undrafted guys. Like, they have basketball minds there. They don't have, like, old fucking yesteryear guys like, what's the guy, like Donnie Walsh and fucking the guy from the Pacers and all these other dudes.
Starting point is 01:35:05 They got some young dudes in there that are player friendly. People love Fizz. People love... What's the other dude's name? I love Wins. I do too. I want to win. I do too.
Starting point is 01:35:14 And the Knicks can't do that. The Knicks sucked last year. They did suck. Say whatever you want about Fizz, but he can't take a bunch of guys and make them win. We'll see. That's what I'm saying. In fairness to Fizz, who I think is a little overrated, but in fairness to him,
Starting point is 01:35:26 they wanted him to lose last year. That was the active goal. And I think they should do it again next year. And I agree with you on that. There's an argument to be made about it. But our patience is running thin. As a Knicks fan, our patience is running thin.
Starting point is 01:35:38 And you have a hot new sexy team that's in Brooklyn. And wait for it. Wait for it. You have a hot new sexy team that's in Brooklyn, right? And the city of New York, Manhattan, has already priced out all of its residents. That's what I was going to say.
Starting point is 01:35:52 It's barely affordable for us to live here. You disrespect us with these high rents. You disrespect us with these high prices. You disrespect us with these high ticket prices. Everything about going to a Knicks game is disrespectful. So you're not even going to play the starters, right? You're going to lose on purpose. You're going to charge me just as much for the ticket.
Starting point is 01:36:10 You're going to overcharge me like crazy on any food, anything like that. There's no fucking parking, nothing around there. And if it is, it's $40, $50. Fuck you. None of this has to do with basketball. Fuck you. Yeah. Oh, don't even get me into basketball.
Starting point is 01:36:23 That's the most disrespectfulrespectful part of it Listen I The most So the Nets Come over here And start cooking You think for a second I'm not gonna look over there
Starting point is 01:36:31 It's like your girl Not giving you no pussy And then some fine pussy Right across the river Over there Is asking to suck your dick I'm getting my dick sucked I don't care if it's by
Starting point is 01:36:40 D'Angelo Kyrie Whoever's sucking Levert Whoever's sucking dick Over there I'm coming over To get it sucked So you better step it up Dolan by D'Angelo, Kyrie, whoever's sucking Lavert, whoever's sucking dick over there, I'm coming over to get a suck. So you better step it up, Dolan.
Starting point is 01:36:49 Dolan got the balls to walk into the garden with four model bitches living his best life while the rest of us starving out here. And a guy goes, you suck as owner and then gets booted for life? You suck as owner. You suck as owner and then gets booted for life? You suck as owner! You suck as owner! I honestly think
Starting point is 01:37:08 the guy that, I honestly think the Knicks are doing what they're supposed to do. Lose. They did that last year. They'll probably do it again this year. I do think this is what they needed to do, but it is also funny that you're still fucked up. I gotta know how you did it. How? What did they do wrong?
Starting point is 01:37:25 Because you're going to sign KD off a torn Achilles. We don't know if he's going to be the same. You have to. This is the move you have to make. You have to, yes.
Starting point is 01:37:31 Sure, but I don't think it works out. I still think you're going to end up getting fucked because you did all this for one guy and then he tore his fucking Achilles
Starting point is 01:37:38 in the last game he played. Terrible luck. And now you're going to sign him and I don't know if he'll be good. I don't know if he'll be the same.
Starting point is 01:37:45 He won't be the same but I I really like RJ Barrett, bro. You have to hear this point. This idea that you guys have of getting to the playoffs and winning a round or two is going to be amazing. It will be, but that shit gets old real quick. It becomes about championships real fucking quick. I totally understand that, but I have lived through every Knicks quick fix that there possibly could be. I'm totally cool with building around young, talented guys, getting actual talented players, not some fucking international dude I've never heard of before. A guy like RJ who's very good.
Starting point is 01:38:19 A guy like Kevin Knox who could be very good. Dennis Smith Jr. is good. Mitchell Robinson is good. These are good young players. If you still got cap room and you got fucking a year of KD to maybe come back, yeah, you're right. Playoff series, one or two, that's fine. But I'm cool with that other than fucking swing for defense,
Starting point is 01:38:39 get two free agents, and now you're in the Lakers situation where it's like championship or bust. If you sign Kyrie, it'll backfire hard. You get KD and Kyrie, it ain't going to work. Fuck the Knicks. Fuck the Knicks. Let's move on. Fuck the Knicks.
Starting point is 01:38:51 Let's move on. We got a lot of relevant teams. I want to talk about the Lakers, okay? So, all right. Here's the situation right now with this AD trade. I want to talk about how the Lakers fleeced New Orleans. I've never seen a more one-sided trade in my entire life. This is crazy. Fleeced
Starting point is 01:39:09 New Orleans, okay? Brandon Ingram, dog shit. We've been saying he has potential, he can score, he's great, this, that, the other for years. He can't. He's not that good. He can't get a shot off. He's big, he looks the part, but he doesn't play the part. He's the new Darius Miles. It ain't gonna work out. Wow. Number two. Wow. Number looks the part, but he doesn't play the part. He's the new Darius Miles. It ain't going to work out. Wow. Number two.
Starting point is 01:39:25 Wow. Number two. Okay, who else are they sending? Lonzo. Josh Hart. Lonzo Paul. No, no, we're going to save Lonzo. Josh Hart.
Starting point is 01:39:32 Good player. Solid. He's good. He's fine. He ain't going to change a franchise, but he's good. He's fine. He's fine. But we can get a 6'2 guy who can shoot threes anywhere.
Starting point is 01:39:39 I can pick that up from a 4th Street if I want to. Easy to replace, right? Who else was in the trade? Lonzo. Lonzo. Anybody else? Any other players? Those are the players. Okay.
Starting point is 01:39:48 And then now we have Lonzo and three picks. Now, Lonzo is the only one that I see could be potentially transcendent player. Okay? So you really traded for Lonzo and then these three picks. Now, these three picks, all going to be dog shit. Why? Because now the Lakers are good. Now they have fucking AD.
Starting point is 01:40:03 This year it's the number four pick. This year, number four pick, right? In a two-person draft, they got the number four pick. Three-person draft. Let's hope it's three-person because I still got a little mixed, but we know it's two-person. So they have the fourth pick in a draft that has two players, so dog shit, right?
Starting point is 01:40:16 So you have a dog shit pick. You have two dog shit players. Then you have three later picks, right, which are all going to be dog shit because now the lakers are good so you really traded ad for lonzo straight up that's really what ended up happening here the only thing the lakers really lost was lonzo's potential no no that's that's worse trade for the i mean amazing trade for the lakers amazing trade for the lakers but for new orleans i don't understand how you possibly do that. I think they both won.
Starting point is 01:40:45 I think this is the rare trade where both teams got with it. I don't see it. I think they both won. I'm not as on your side, but I don't think this is a win. What did they get? They got options for pick swaps. There's certain years where you can flip. If they like where the Lakers are picking a draft, those are our picks.
Starting point is 01:41:02 So for the next seven years, this pick, the next three first-round picks, and they have two pick swaps after that. So they could do what essentially the Boston Celtics used to do. When Brooklyn Nets got a nice pick, oh, that's a nice pick. We'll take that from you. That turns into Jason Tatum. That turns into Jalen Brown. So let me ask you a question.
Starting point is 01:41:20 What are the chances that the Lakers are going to have dogshit picks in the near future when you have LeBron James, when you have dogshit picks, the near future? When you have LeBron James, when you have dogshit picks, I mean, sorry, really good picks, when you have LeBron James, AD, and another marquee free agent coming this year. Might not get another marquee free agent. You got a couple good years of LeBron left, maybe three. And then after that- And Anthony Davis has not proven to be very healthy all the time. So after the LeBron-
Starting point is 01:41:40 The Pelicans just had him, and they are now picking number one. Right. So after the LeBron, after the LeBron legacy, you have the and they are now picking number one. It's very possible. After the LeBron legacy, you have the AD legacy that's going to continue. And you're going to have new guys that you sign around the Lakers with AD. All I'm trying to say is the Lakers are poised
Starting point is 01:41:57 to have very bad first round picks for the next seven years if they want to. So they gave up their potentially very bad first round picks. So what do you think they're picking? 4 AD. Sorry? You think they're picking number 30 every year?
Starting point is 01:42:11 Because I don't think that's happening. They're picking late 20s. They may be in the early late 20s. Late 20s. I don't know. Like, I mean, listen. And when you pick late 20s, that means you pick early second round, right? So they keep their second round because it flips, right?
Starting point is 01:42:23 Yeah. So they keep their second round picks. Yeah. Right? Which are all going to be good second round, right? So they keep their second round, because it flips, right? So they keep their second round picks, which are all going to be good second round picks. So they're going to get the best players possible in the second round and then give up the dog shit in the first round anyway. I mean, really, realistically speaking, do you think the player that goes
Starting point is 01:42:37 28, is that different than the player that goes 3 in the second round? Who could have offered something better? You gotta have a lot of... I say wait. I always say wait until the All-Star break. Like something will come up. I kind of like that strategy. I think the Spurs could have waited on Kawhi. I think if you got a star...
Starting point is 01:42:54 Matter of fact, the most not lopsided superstar trade I've ever seen is the Nuggets for Melo. And they just waited. They were like, look, we'll wait. We know where he wants to go. I kind of like that. Y'all want to cough it up. You're going to get impatient. That was a good trade for who?
Starting point is 01:43:06 For Denver. Yeah. Yeah, for Denver. Yeah, that's the position I'm talking about. You're the team that has a star who wants to leave. Just wait. I'm in no fucking hurry. I don't care.
Starting point is 01:43:17 I will wait you out. Maybe this is my Indian negotiation skills talking. I don't need them. I'm in no rush. I want the deal. I like that. Matter of fact, last All-Star break
Starting point is 01:43:26 they were offering all this and Kuzma and I think another first round pick. I think a fourth. If you got Kuzma as well in this deal, I feel a little bit better
Starting point is 01:43:34 because... Is Kuzma that much better than Brandon Ingram? He's flippable. No, they both suck but he's... He put up 18 a game. He doesn't suck.
Starting point is 01:43:40 He's not this transcendent Kevin Durant type talent but he doesn't suck. Kuzma's got more potential because we have seen less years of him not living up to... Also, he had no expectation whatsoever and now he's exceeding. Brandon Ingram, like,
Starting point is 01:43:53 this is the next KD and he's turning out to be the next Darius Miles. He's already better than Darius Miles, of course. No, he's not. Yes, he is. I don't think so. He's averaging 18 a game. Darius Miles never averages even close to that. Brandon Ingram's not averaging. He just had a nice taunt and some dunks. Brandon Ingram's not averaging 18 a game. Adam, please look it up. He's averaging 18 a game. Darius Miles never averages even close to that. Brandon Ingram's not averaging 18. He just had a nice taunt and some dunks. Brandon Ingram's not averaging 18 a game. Adam, please look it up.
Starting point is 01:44:08 He's averaging 18 a game. You have to go to NBA.com and listen to player stats or ESPN player stats. I'm sure Chris is going to do a better job. You can say dude sucks, but it's like, yo, 18 a game. That's nothing to sneeze at. You got Zion Williamson coming in. You got Lonzo Ball, who's like the perfect point guard to play with a guy like Zion Williamson. See, I don't think he is.
Starting point is 01:44:25 Why not? Because everybody's so excited about this Zion Williamson, Lonzo Ball connection, right? Near them can shoot. You know how easy it is to stop the pick and roll when you don't have to worry about either party shooting? You just come under. I beg Lonzo. I beg Lonzo to shoot in the pick and roll.
Starting point is 01:44:43 Now, Zion, what happens if Zion rolls out and you give him that foul line jumper? Give it to him. I'm not worried about that either. Who said he's taking foul line jumpers? He's a freak of nature. My point is, so we have the pick and roll. He's saying the ideal pick and roll partner for Zion is a shooter. It's like a Steve Nash point guard.
Starting point is 01:44:58 Steve Nash, I dare you to come under. I dare you to come under that pick and roll with Steve Nash. I'm lighting you up all day. But there's other plays, man. If you've seen Lonzo play, he's a guy who gets the ball and runs in transition. And Zion's a guy who runs in transition as well. Also, keep in mind, Lonzo can only go one way in the pick and roll. He can't go right on the pick and roll.
Starting point is 01:45:18 18 a game. Five rebounds, three assists. Solid. Solid. That's a good pickup. Solid. Solid. I can't handle it. I just don't think he's as good as people think he is, but solid. Yeah. Solid. Like, that's a good pickup. Solid, solid. I can't handle it.
Starting point is 01:45:25 I just don't think he's as good as people think he is, but solid. Yeah, I remember people didn't want to trade him for Kawhi, and I was like, you guys are fucking retards. But real quick- Like, the Celtics are going to kick themselves from that. Trading Jalen Brown in the Sacramento pick for him? Zion Lonzo, right? Pick and roll.
Starting point is 01:45:40 Now, Lonzo has this thing where he shoots coming up the left side. So he actually can't go around the pick right and then pull up as he's going right. He can go beautifully left because he's actually shooting away from the defender. But if he comes around right, he's actually fighting his own momentum to get the shot off. So he's limited in his ability to operate the pick and roll. You also got Drew Holiday there, too. I love Drew. Who might be— I am a fan. He's flipp also got Drew Holley there, too. I love Drew. Who might be.
Starting point is 01:46:05 I am a fan. He's flippable. If you're rebuilding, Drew can get you something. I think so. And he can get you something on a team that's almost there. Who needs that. He's a guy you put on, I don't know. The Bucs, maybe.
Starting point is 01:46:20 No, Bucs, Lakers, ready? Wait for it. The Warriors. The Warriors. The Warriors need some scoring. And they need some scoring, need some buckets. And they need some defense behind Steph. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:46:28 I can see that. I can see that. I mean, I don't know who has assets that you would want anything from, but like, yeah, he's a guy. And I also don't know how many years he got left on his fat-ass deal. He did get a fat deal. That was crazy. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:38 But he's good. So we didn't really talk about what this means for the Lakers, though, this trade. Oh, yeah. Well, real quick, I just want to address, because we'll move away from norms and just go Lakers. You know who's got to be kicking himself right now? LeVar Ball. Because he drank the cooling, right? He said, okay, I'm going to be quiet.
Starting point is 01:47:00 I'm going to play along with LeBron's plan. I guarantee he was giving assurances. I guarantee they said, hey, Lonzo's not going anywhere you just got to be quiet and let us do this and he said okay I'm gonna be quiet I'm gonna go along with the corporate way I'm gonna go along with the corporate system come on with it mm-hmm and what happened they traded his son's ass in a fucking heartbeat realistically though what could he have done if he spoke up and LeBron was like get this guy the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 01:47:26 They're getting him the fuck out of here. I think, I really do believe that when he speaks up, better things happen for his kids. I think when he is quiet, worse things happen for his kids. I think when he speaks up, he controls the narrative of his kid. I think when he speaks up, he can go,
Starting point is 01:47:43 listen, when my kid's in the game, he's averaging 10 assists a game, LeBron's playing better, everybody's playing better. Without my kid, this team wouldn't even be doing anything. He's the most important player, whatever it is, and then all of a sudden when trade talks start to happen, the LA people go, trade?
Starting point is 01:47:58 Lonzo? But everybody's playing better with Lonzo. Why would you? He shut up, and his kid got shipped out to New Orleans, and the problem now is for New Orleans because LeVar is not going to shut up over there. He's going to be the loudest mouthpiece the NBA has ever seen, and I cannot wait. It's going to be great. I love it. I can't wait for Big Baller.
Starting point is 01:48:16 Big Baller brand for the part two in New Orleans and the Big Easy Baller brand. Oh, I love it. I can't wait for it, bro. I can't wait for it. I think New Orleans, I think the Pelicans are going to be fun, man. I think if I was them, I'll take that fourth pick, flip it for somebody, try and get like Bradley Beal or somebody. Everybody's trying to replicate the Celtics thing, which is assets.
Starting point is 01:48:35 That's why the three first round draft picks are big. That's why these guys, the pick swaps or whatever, like it's just assets. We just want a war chest. Now, the problem with threading that needle, man, is the Celtics might have missed their window. They stockpiled all the assets. They called their bluff. They called their bluff.
Starting point is 01:48:51 Kawhi is out there. Kawhi, we don't know. Jalen Brown and a Sacramento pick probably would have gotten it done. And they're like, well, I don't know. We got this kid. He's good. Let's just sit it out. And now you're fucked.
Starting point is 01:49:02 Let's make a trade. The entire league called the Boston Celtics bluff. They're like, you're not going to trade any of this shit. And on top of that, it didn't help that. What do you mean? Explain that more. I'm talking about how they stockpiled all these assets and they were looking at Danny Ainge like this fucking GM
Starting point is 01:49:17 guru genius or whatever. I was too. We all did. We all did. We looked at them. We looked at all the high first round picks they had, the cap space, and the fucking star players that they already had. We're like, these guys are going to be good for another 10, 15 years. And they still might be. Right.
Starting point is 01:49:32 But you kind of missed out on the treasure chest of free agents right now. Right. You don't have the money to go out and get any of these guys because Kyrie's about to leave. And you're kind of sitting there with your dick in your hand next summer because who's left? Anthony Davis? Well, that's the thing. Who's going to resign?
Starting point is 01:49:48 They gambled on the wrong player. They gambled on Kyrie. Yeah. Kyrie's not a guy you gamble on, man. I'm telling you this. As a guy, we just watched this happen. We just watched it. They gambled on Kyrie.
Starting point is 01:49:55 Kyrie's like, no, I'm not staying. I'm out. So they said, okay, we took our gamble on Kyrie. Kawhi is hurt. Let's not take that gamble. Why is the gamble you take? Okay, okay. Now I'm putting it together. To me, you gamble on Kawhi just because. Let's not take that gamble. Kawhi is the gamble you take. Yeah. Okay, okay. Now I'm putting it together.
Starting point is 01:50:06 To me, you gamble on Kawhi just because I saw his ceiling and that's why I had him picked two years ago to win MVP because you've seen Kawhi's ceiling. It destroys other teams. That motherfucker Thanos. I said Thanos earlier.
Starting point is 01:50:17 He Thanos. Whatever your best Avengers are, bring them on. I got them. Right. Can I read just a guy who's a really good second... He gets buckets.
Starting point is 01:50:24 He's a really good second fiddle. That's it. I don't want to take a risk's a really good second he gets buckets he's a really good second fiddle that's it I don't want to take a risk on a really good second fiddle let me swing for the fences on the number one
Starting point is 01:50:30 motherfucker right and then take we'll see what the second you know what it is they saw what Isaiah Thomas did
Starting point is 01:50:37 did you see the latest Avengers yeah Thanos loses Thanos loses yeah but who else am I gonna to pick?
Starting point is 01:50:45 He's Iron Man? Who sacrifices himself? Who also loses. He also dies. You've got to go Scarlet Witch or whatever that cunt's name is. I think they saw what Isaiah Thomas did for that Boston Celtics team and were like, oh, Kyrie's better than him. This should clearly get us over the hump.
Starting point is 01:51:03 And conventional wisdom tells you that that might have worked, but Kyrie's not than him. This should clearly get us over the hump. And conventional wisdom tells you that that might have worked, but Kyrie's not all there sometimes. I think that's exactly what it was. And to be honest with you, I think that's exactly what Toronto felt. They're like, DeRozan is getting us here. Kawhi's going to get us. He'll get us over the hump, and he did. And I think it might be
Starting point is 01:51:26 hard for us to tell what a diva Kyrie was when he was with Cleveland. Yeah. Because he was under Dadbron.
Starting point is 01:51:35 He was under Dadbron. Yeah. Dadbron wasn't taking that shit. I just thought in terms of the game like a guy who can control the game
Starting point is 01:51:42 defensively what's the term you shut the water off? Kawhi can term he always uses? Shut the water off? Kawhi can shut the water off and turn the water off on your other team's best player. Kyrie don't have that potential. Sure, but neither did Isaiah. I think that's what Kaz is trying to say, is if they went
Starting point is 01:51:56 that far with IT... Okay. Just upgrade that one position. And I think... And he was hurt. Yeah, we have a hurt IT. We have healthy Kyrie, who's already got championship experience. Bring him on board. This is how we cross the hump. Or what is it called?
Starting point is 01:52:11 Get over the hump. Which is reasonable. I think that was a smart decision. Yeah. I mean, you make the trade. I get it. I guess that's just how thin the margin is then. That fucking thin, dude. Who would have thought before this season that DeMar DeRozan was that much worse than Kawhi?
Starting point is 01:52:30 That much? That much? I would have told you that. I thought, son, I picked them to go to the finals as soon as they got Kawhi. I just remembered Kawhi shutting down peak LeBron. And I will never forget that. We all picked them to go to the finals. Yeah, I said I think they'll beat the Warriors.
Starting point is 01:52:48 No, you said the Warriors were going to lose, but you didn't think that they would beat them, right? I said if they play the Warriors in the finals, I think they can beat them. Oh, you didn't even think the Warriors were going to the finals. I think, I don't know. I don't know when. I just didn't see them winning. But I said if they play the Warriors in the finals, I think because Kawhi can do that. Right, right.
Starting point is 01:53:04 It was only one, three quarters of basketball or whatever. We saw him against the peak Warriors just fucking wrecking shop. Right, right, right. I just saw that potential. I thought he was a little bit better than DeMar DeRozan. My only hang-up, I agree with you on that. My only hang-up was the injury. I didn't know if he was going to be back to Pete Kawhi again,
Starting point is 01:53:27 and he was for the most part. I mean. Load management. I'm fucking real. So Lakers, what does this mean for them? Are they the favorite now? Yeah. He's that good, man.
Starting point is 01:53:42 I hated on AD until I saw him play in the playoffs. He's that good. He's great for LeBron, too. Okay, let's go on that. He's the perfect LeBron teammate. He's the perfect LeBron teammate. Talk to me about that, because I'm trying to wrap my head around why he is the perfect LeBron teammate. I'm speaking mentally, not basketball.
Starting point is 01:53:58 Oh, yeah, yeah. He'll cuck out to him. He is fucking fantastically talented, and he's never going to challenge LeBron for alpha dog status. Okay, but let's talk about on the court. Why is he the perfect one? If you're a LeBron James teammate, you need to be able to shoot good. Okay, good shooter. You need to be able to protect the paint.
Starting point is 01:54:13 You need to be able to finish around the rim. You need to be able to take a lot of the shit that comes with painting LeBron James. And Anthony Davis checks all the board by himself. Okay, real quick. By himself. Okay, real quick. By himself. He's Kevin Love and JaVale McGee and Tristan Thompson and Kyrie Irving all in one. He is Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson. He's Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson with like Wade mentality.
Starting point is 01:54:39 Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's the perfect LeBron teammate. So how do they space that floor? He can spread the court. But how So how do they space that floor? He can spread the court. But how? How do they position that offense?
Starting point is 01:54:49 Is LeBron playing point? No, I don't think LeBron plays point, but I do think Anthony Davis spreads the floor as much as – you don't want to make him like a Kevin Love just bought up guy. I'm asking specifically where do you put him? LeBron? No. AD?
Starting point is 01:55:04 Yeah. Because LeBron's going to have the ball. Center. No, I know he's going to play center, but where on the floor? Is he going to be in the wing? Is he a stretch five? Because here's the thing. With LeBron, you can't have AD on the block, right?
Starting point is 01:55:15 Because if he's on the block, it's going to clog up that lane, and LeBron wants to get there unaffected, right? I don't know, bro. The great thing about AD is you can literally put him anywhere. So where do you put him? Everywhere. So here's my question. You put him anywhere. So where do you put him? Everywhere. So here's my question. You put him everywhere.
Starting point is 01:55:27 So check this. Do you go pick and roll up top with LeBron and AD? Because no matter if they switch, LeBron has a center on his heels. If they don't switch, if they switch and then the ball goes to AD, AD's got whatever power forward of three. You got to stop the locomotive LeBron coming around the corner. It's unfucking fair. I think you go pick and roll with them up top. And you do that a lot.
Starting point is 01:55:51 You definitely do that a lot. But at the same time, you always want to – and another factor for that teammate, you got to be somebody who takes gravity away from LeBron. You got to be somebody like Wade who like – LeBron aside, I still go get you 25. Right. Kyrie aside, I could still go get you 25. Right. Kyrie aside, I could still go get you 25. Right. Like, he is a guy. I forgot what.
Starting point is 01:56:11 He had a stretch of games this year. We had, like, 53, 46. Like, stupid fucking numbers on the Pelicans. And it's like he is. LeBron and Wade and Irving were great talents. He'll never play with a player better than Anthony Davis. Okay, so does LeBron finally have someone on his team where if LeBron goes to the bench, the team can score? Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:56:38 That wasn't that way with Kyrie. Kyrie couldn't get fucking buckets when LeBron went to the basket. Even better. That's why, to me better that's why to me that's why you don't go for another max free agent I think you build a team around them I agree with you guys
Starting point is 01:56:49 but he's got a guy who not only that when LeBron sits out games to rest they can still win remember the teams were always like one and infinite without LeBron
Starting point is 01:56:57 that's a great point okay so now you get to do load management with LeBron as he gets older very important another thing he essentially did
Starting point is 01:57:04 load management with AD this year. Like he didn't play a fucking game. 100%. So here's another question. As we start to build the team around AD and LeBron, obviously we need shooters. Listen, getting a guy like Chris Middleton. That'd be big. It's huge.
Starting point is 01:57:18 But you're going to have to pay. Do you look for a guy like JJ Rennick? Oh, absolutely. You bring a JJ in? Yeah, JJ's great for LeBron. Yeah, you see what he did with Embiid. He put up career numbers. And Andy Davis is better than Embiid.
Starting point is 01:57:30 And so is LeBron. And LeBron is better than Jimmy Butler and Ben Simmons. So do you get a guy like J.J. and then pay him a lot and do like one years? Yeah. Do you pay him like the $15 million and do a year? You go get Danny Green. Get Danny Green, get J.J. Redick.
Starting point is 01:57:45 Danny's legs are done, man. He looked horrible in the bad men. You go get Danny Green. Get Danny Green. Get J.J. Redick. Danny's legs are done, man. He looked horrible in the series. But you go get those shooters. You go get those role-playing. Do you even get a Kyle fucking whatever his name is? Korver, yeah. Oh, he'll go play with LeBron for free. In a second.
Starting point is 01:57:58 Woke Bay, Kyle Korver. Absolutely. Comes to the Lakers. So you need, what, two or three of these guys? Mm-hmm. You know what they did last year when they signed LeBron and they got a bunch of pieces? You get less crazy pieces. You know what I mean? Like they got fucking head cases, but you just go get pieces again.
Starting point is 01:58:15 LeBron, you can build him a complete team. You still don't have a coach, which is wild, but you can build him a complete team. You got a fucking superstar he's never played with, and now you can build pieces to complement these guys. Build the actual team. Get a Kyle Korver. Get a J.J. Redick. Get whoever the fuck else would be good with them. But you also need guys defensively who can lock down.
Starting point is 01:58:36 3 and D guys surrounding LeBron would be perfect. But who's there? Who's a 3 and D guy that's left? Trevor Reza's out there. Trevor Reza is out there. And he's an L.A. guy. He would love to be back in L.A. He would love to end his career in L.A.
Starting point is 01:58:50 Does he have legs still? He was in Phoenix. He probably saved his legs all year. That's what I'm saying. Phoenix, they got some shit over there where it's like the fucking fountain of youth. You go over there and all of a sudden you get three more years back in your career. I don't know what the fuck they do over there. go over there and like all of a sudden you get like three more years back in your career son i don't know what the fuck they do over there trevor orisa would be the perfect three and d for the
Starting point is 01:59:09 fuck and that length think about the okay what is trevor is a six seven six eight six eight long right length on the floor is crazy ad lebron trevor everybody you're talking about i mean at that then you can bring a j, then you can bring a JJ. Then you can bring something little because you can fill the gaps. Whoa. Who runs that show? That's my thing.
Starting point is 01:59:32 Who runs that show? LeBron. Is your point forward? Whatever the fuck. Okay, if it isn't LeBron, who do you bring in? I don't think Rondo can shoot well enough. No.
Starting point is 01:59:43 I think another, again, you look at, and people, this name's going to keep coming up. Fucking Brogdon from Milwaukee. You love Malcolm Brogdon. I love Malcolm Brogdon, bro. He's a good role player. He is like fucking, he's like a souped up George Hill. Okay, what if it's not Brogdon?
Starting point is 01:59:58 What if it's somebody else? I don't even know who else is out there. But, I mean, shit, there is. I think it was an interesting option that you'd have to max out, but also interesting. Jimmy Butler. Yeah. But to run it?
Starting point is 02:00:09 Not to run it. Just to have him there. Have him there. Absolutely. He's a great guy. I also think he's too individualistic. I think he has such a strong individual spirit that he wouldn't coalesce with a LeBron team.
Starting point is 02:00:21 I think you need guys who will just fall into the flow. I don't know, man. And a lot of things people aren't really taking into consideration. We're saying these people got to get maxed out, but you got AD and LeBron in your team. Yeah, you're willing to take a little less. Somebody's going to take a little shave on the top to win and play over there. Ariza would be huge. Brogner would be great.
Starting point is 02:00:39 I don't know what other free agent point guards are out there. I mean, Kemba. I think Kemba works so fucking well there. But I don't want to do Kemba and JJ because now you're too small up top. Kemba can be your only small guy. But, dude, Kemba. Like, imagine what Kemba did with zero gravity around him, as you say. Pulled 25 a game.
Starting point is 02:00:56 Holy shit. He's shooting as good as he's ever shot in his career. You got Kuzma hitting threes. Knockdown three. Kuzma's very good. Oh, does Kuzma start? Kuzma starts. Kuzma starts. Kuzma starts.
Starting point is 02:01:06 He definitely starts. That's another long guy. This is nuts. AD. Kuzma. Kuzma, powerful. LeBron. Trevor.
Starting point is 02:01:18 Kemba. Yeah. That's stupid. That's a five. That's stupid. And the five is good, but you need that fucking depth. Like, that you will run. That's why I don't know if I'd do Kemba.
Starting point is 02:01:31 I would build pieces. Unless Kemba comes for less money, and we pitch him on, like, hey, we're going to win this chip, but, like, we got to take this money so we can get A, B, C, and D. Like, you need fucking depth in the finals to win championships. You'll win all the games you want. You need at least seven contributors, I think. You're going to have LeBron and AD sit at least 20 games for load management. You need to go at least eight, nine deep to win a chip this year,
Starting point is 02:01:56 especially going through a team like Denver, who's going to be deeper than ever. See, I still think Denver's a problem, man. I don't think the West is necessarily the latest. That's what I keep saying. Michael Porter Jr. comes back and plays ball. They are a real issue. They are a championship team.
Starting point is 02:02:11 That aside, if another player becomes available for a trade, another fucking alpha dog, you know who got pieces out the ass is Denver. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. And great front office. And you know who We shouldn't sleep on Portland
Starting point is 02:02:27 Portland's gonna be Right back in there Portland hooped Enos Cantor Is gonna be good They lost Nerkit He's gonna be back Nerkit's gonna be back
Starting point is 02:02:33 Like yeah Yeah Portland's not Going anywhere No slouches I was watching Get Up Again this morning Like everybody was saying Like they've been watching
Starting point is 02:02:41 Michael Porter Jr. All through the off season And he looks like He's going to be a problem. Really? Yeah. Yeah. He was a walking bucket in high school and college.
Starting point is 02:02:50 He was a higher prospect than Trey Young. All these fucking big guys who ended up cooking in the NBA. And everyone's saying, yeah, no, he looks like the real deal. Really? And he's cheap. That's right. You got him for what? Three more years.
Starting point is 02:03:02 Whatever. On his rookie deal. You know what I'm saying? Denver's going to be scary. Denver's going to be scary. Portland's going to be scary. Can you look at the Nuggets roster on the screen just so we can look at it? Yeah. I remember.
Starting point is 02:03:11 Jamal Murray. They're deep. That's the thing. They're deep. That's what I'm saying. They're deep. It's like the Portland Trailblazers when they traded for Pippen. They had crazy ass depth.
Starting point is 02:03:21 And then they traded a bunch of pieces and got Pippen and came within one quarter of making it to the finals. So, like, that's kind of how I see the Nuggets right now. And you got your alpha dog. You got Jokic, and then you got pieces to trade. If anybody becomes available that you want, they got so much wing depth, and they got Porter Jr. coming in. It's like, give up a few, go get somebody, and you still have a complete team with one alpha dog, maybe two if you can make the trade. Like, Denver I still think is a favorite.
Starting point is 02:03:49 So, yeah. Whoa. The Lakers are right there, and if they build a team, it's going to be really fucking fun to watch. Yeah. But Denver, don't sleep on Denver. The motherfucking Clippers. The Clippers will still be there.
Starting point is 02:04:02 Who are they going to make moves for, though? Who are they going to get? They were still pretty good without making any moves. Like, they'll still be there. Who are they going to make moves for, though? Who are they going to get? They were still pretty good without making any moves. They'll still be there. Gary Harris, Will Barton, Torrey Craig is their shooter. Malik Beasley, I think, is young and interesting. Plumlee is good. He's fucking athletic.
Starting point is 02:04:15 Plumlee, yeah, you're not really going to get shit for him in a trade, but just wing depth. Millsap, if he declines his option, you got cap space. They got four wings right now that are good trade pieces, I think. And that's not including Porter Jr. I think you roll with that squad. I think you roll
Starting point is 02:04:34 with that squad. You give a lot of Western Carpet teams a lot of issues. Who else is out there, man? And they took their lick. I think they're going to be scary in the playoffs next year. This is the same reason I didn't think the Bucs would win it. I just don't.
Starting point is 02:04:47 When you're brand new, I don't think you usually win. I think Golden State was an outlier. Let me tell you, another team that's going to be out there that we're not even talking about, but I guarantee you, what's the date today? June fucking whatever. June 17th. The Sacramento Kings will be a problem next year. They will absolutely be in the playoffs,
Starting point is 02:05:09 and I see them going to the second round too. They're going to be that young, new, fucking exciting team with De'Aaron Fox and Willie Cauley-Stein and Harrison Barnes, and they're deep. They're going to get another young talent. I like the way that team is made up. Buddy Heald, another guy who gets 20 a game. These are, you know, they got one or two veterans. That's a solid playoff team in the West.
Starting point is 02:05:34 And the Golden State, they're going to be down. The Rockets are probably going to be down if they lose. Chris Paul, he said he wants to leave. Those are two playoff teams that might be on the outside looking in. And Sacramento is a team that I've been watching for a while, and they're on the rise, and they're exciting. And Fox is a fucking dog. And Heald is a bucket.
Starting point is 02:05:53 And I like the way those guys are made up. They remind me a lot of this Nuggets team. They remind me of the young. Real quick side note, I read they tried to make a move for AD, but New Orleans wanted Murray, and they were just like, no. We're not giving up Murray. Imagine Jokic and AD. Fucking crazy, dude.
Starting point is 02:06:11 But then what happens is those tall teams run into trouble in small ball. And Golden State has proved that they could score enough to withstand their lack of rebounding. You need elite shooting, but it does cause a problem.
Starting point is 02:06:28 Because you could run the Joe Kitchen and what's the other guy's name? Millsap? No, no. Joe Kitchen AD. Oh, shit. My bad. We should wrap this up. One hypothetical.
Starting point is 02:06:42 Does going to a big market team lower your value? Yeah. I got on Twitter the other day once everybody was talking about the AD trade and people were like, AD is not top five. I'm like, what? And I've seen this happen with a lot of players when they go to big market teams. Like, you're going to kill me for this, but, you know, when Melo got traded to the Knicks, when Wade got LeBron and, like, when Wade got LeBron and all these – and Bosh and all these guys, when you go to a big market team
Starting point is 02:07:09 or wherever LeBron's playing that turns into a big market team, does that lower your value to the rest of the league? Because there's a lot of people saying, well, AD might be like top eight, top nine. I'm like, you must have not have watched AD play basketball in a while because he's top five in his sleep. I think playing in a small market team reduces your value. So I think that we just
Starting point is 02:07:32 forget how valuable these guys are. I also think once you go to a LeBron market or a big market, then there's expectations. Then you're looked at under a microscope and then all of a sudden your value is very different. I can see that. AD's value, Kevin Love's value as talents, 80s off the charts. As a winner,
Starting point is 02:07:50 he got to the second round once and it was really fucking cool the way he did it, but that's it. When you're in a big market, that shit matters. Yeah, I also think when you're on, there's a difference between being in a big market and being on a LeBron team. It's a different microscope. Different microscope and different skill set necessary.
Starting point is 02:08:06 It's like there's a lot of guys in the league that could score 25 points on a shitty team. Yeah. A lot of guys. There are very few guys who can score 25 points on a good team. Yeah. And those buckets get scarce. On LeBron teams, you got to be efficient. You have to be so, and he does put up with uh inefficiency or like um
Starting point is 02:08:26 over dribbling you need to be economic with your dribbles economic with your shots and uh i think that's what happens like because you look at a guy like kd who's incredibly economic with his dribbling and incredibly economic he was shooting and then he went to a major market team and what happened exploded everybody started talking about he was the best player in the league. Because he's wildly efficient. He was only getting like a handful of touches a game. Still putting up 25. Easy. He could go to any other healthy kid. He could go to any team and average
Starting point is 02:08:53 35, 36. He could put up stupid like the numbers Harden puts up. Come on. Stupid. Ridiculous. Hundreds. Yeah. But it's weird. It's weird how like once you know a guy like that goes to a LeBron team or a big market team, people kind of undervalue him. They'd be like, oh, you were on a shitty team.
Starting point is 02:09:09 But there are certain players like AD who do so much. And you could look at the Kevin Love example in Minnesota where he literally had to do everything and put up a bunch of buckets and got a shit ton of rebounds because his teammates sucked. I can see how your numbers could explode from that. But Anthony Davis, he has no discernible basketball weakness.
Starting point is 02:09:30 He literally does everything. His health is the only thing. His health is the only thing. If he's healthy, he can run the break. He can block shots. He can guard almost four positions. He can shoot the three. He can defend, rebound. Everything you need
Starting point is 02:09:45 from a basketball player he does very well. So, I mean, we're going to get a very strong reminder this season just how good
Starting point is 02:09:53 that motherfucker is. Yeah. No, absolutely. I got one announcement to make. Gali Gali Mishor here. Pakistan Jordan.
