Bronze year currently, 2025.
40-year-old man.
MVP year 2013 at 27.
Look at the stats.
That shit's dead man scary.
Both averaging 26
arms. Field guard percentage a little bit
higher this year. 10%
higher in three-point at 45%.
Hey, rebounds at assist.
Nah, well,
Brown is doing a special at the age of
40. He not real. He like
a robot.
What they call that when you
not the robot, but when
you like super sand up.
He a
cyborg. He something else,
but he ain't real.
But that should just show you how down the
league was in 2013.
Damn. I ain't gonna say down,
but just like him averaging 27.
Yeah. I should say how much say damn, but just like him averaging 27. Yeah.
I should say how much scoring was down.
Because right now he would.
What you think he is in scoring?
Top 20?
25?
Nah, 26 and a half.
He's top 10.
He's 10.
Nah.
Bro, it's not 25 people averaging 26.
It's a couple people averaging 30.
Giannis averaging 30.

Click on the points per game, Mike.
Yup.
Damn, broad 12.
It's at least top 15.
Yeah, but I'm just saying.
I mean, 25 is a big game.
Yeah.
I mean, I was exaggerating, but at 26 back then,
he probably was third in the league.
Facts.
For sure.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, you look at this shit.
Because it was a drop-off after the teammate got to the league,
after the teammate left the league, I mean.
SGA, 32 and 6.
Giannis, 30.9.
Yoke right there at 28.9.
He at 28, basically.
Look at J. Tatum.
I see you, boy. That's what I'm saying, though. Like, at 28 Basically J Tatum I see you boy
That's what I'm saying though
Like Brian average in 26
I mean he is 40
But I'm just telling you
How much
You know how many
More points
Is being scored
In the game nowadays
Shout out to Tyrese Maxey

My boy Mpeasy
Is top 20.
He is at number 20. Respect.
Respect, bro. Tyler Hero.
Hey, respect,
man. Boys get buckets this year.
But the fact that Bron is probably 20 years
older than half the dudes
on that list. At least 15 years older.
I know that. For sure.
It's crazy.
We will never see anything like this ever again in life bro
no as long as we jordan was not doing this at 40 hell no no what jordan was doing to 40 lebron
could never you see him in the club the real goat to be to average more rebounds and assists as you
did as a 27 year old when you were the best player on the planet
at 40 years old
yeah
to raise your game up
shooting a better percentage
from three
over 13 years
you still like that
some niggas had
13 year careers
me
I'm niggas

I did
I him
double up I had a 13 year career he averaged 26 and then 13 years That is on a number He said niggas I did Yeah Double up
I had a 13 year career
He averaged 26
And then 13 years later
26 when you got there
26 when you left
My whole career
He gave back
He still averaged 26
And he got better
From percentages
He got better
Yeah
Brian being a better shooter
Is fire
That's the crazy part
That's a big leap
In the three point percentage
That's a different payday Actually When, when you up against a contract.
Niggas be like, damn, he's shooting 45%.
Got to pay.
Average of 27, 18.
From 35?
Yeah, bro.
So how do you tell him to retire?
You don't.
So what's wrong with him playing two or three more years?
There's nothing, bro, because he's still playing at a high level.
Yeah, when do we tell Brian, like, listen, man dude do we ever want to see brian averaging 18 i'm okay with it bro
because you average 27 at 40 at 40 so you can average 18 and if you if your team is winning
but at 43 i never want to see brian where i feel like somebody i don't see you don't want to see Brian where I feel like Somebody I don't see You don't want to see Brian on the Lakers team
With Lance Stevenson
And all them
Averaging 18
That would be impressive
Never
But if LeBron is on a
Championship aspiration
With Luka
And whoever else
They grab bro
He averaging 18
That's fire
I never want to see
When people start
Icing on LeBron
Yeah
You got to come
Get in the blender bro
Like there's a play
Where Brad Beal is like Throw LeBron Shot off the backboard He's just like in the blender, bro. Like, there's a play where Brad Beal is like,
throw LeBron short off the backboard
and he's just like,
I don't want to see this, bro.
Because two years ago, bro,
he's getting poked on, bro.
I mean,
but everybody get their shot.
Yeah.
I'm talking about
when they start icing on you.
You ain't going anywhere.
Bro,
27-year-old LeBron, bro,
Brad Beal wouldn't have left
three-point line.
LeBron was getting shook, bro.
I seen Nate Robinson
block LeBron shit.
All right, niggas was getting shook.
Nate Robinson called him.
People didn't call him, bro.
I'm just saying
where niggas is
clearing brown out
like
put him in a pick and roll.
Yeah, Keely Hayes.
Yeah, when you see
Dyson Daniels,
I saw brown.
I don't want to see that, bro.
Yeah, they like
can't stay in front of you.
You know, I mean,
I don't want to see that.
I mean, what AE
just did to KD.
Damn,
but that's Anthony Edwards too.
Yeah,
but that's a one-on-one battle.
Everybody get the bet.
I'm talking about when
niggas like me
start ice on Braun.
Like,
let me get that.
Oh,
y'all trying to pick on me.
Yeah,
let me get that switch.
Yeah,
bro,
you need that for your career.
Or like,
put Braun in the pick and roll.
Like,
nah,
I don't want to see that.
I still laugh.
I went back and watched
that Metal World Peace episode. You talking about, yeah, I had you on that island. Yeah wanna see that I still laugh I went back and watched That Metal World Peace episode
You was talking about
Yeah I had you on that island
Yeah see
I never want Brian
To be put on that
I put Metal World Peace
One of the best defenders
Ever in basketball
You my dog for that too
I put him on the island
For telling him
I said yeah
See that's why we brothers
Fuck these niggas
He told the craziest
Person ever
In the NBA
Remember I put you
On the motherfucking
Bridge
I'm just
Speaking my truth
And then Luis
Made a clip for it
Shout out to Luis
I never would've
Wanted Brian
To have that moment
Because Brian
Don't deserve that
But I don't think
That moment happened
For another two years
I don't think
We should let Brian
Retire until the second
Year after he's a player on our team.
That Vegas NBA team, that second year, then LeBron go ahead and retire.
But he's going to play that first year for sure.
That's tight.
Shout out to LeBron, man.
Let's get to it yesterday.
SGA went crazy with a 51 piece yesterday.
Took care of the Rockets, 137-128.
Like we said, man, fourth 50-point game of the season, 51-75.
J-Dub had 24-4-3.
That's back-to-back, too.
For sure.
I picked the Rockets.
For him to do that
on back-to-back night
is insane.
The young talent
for the Rockets
who played yesterday,
Ken Whitmore,
had 27-11.
He was balling.
We talked about
Reed Shepard.
He got a moment
yesterday, 25-5.
Yeah.
G-League done helped him.
Reed Shepard
going to be a good player.
That's what I was
talking about
with the Rockets.
Going forward,
instead of going for a big name point guard,
do you let this young kid develop
and see what you got with him?
Is he a Peyton Pritchard
or is he something better?
You know what I mean?
So you keep Van Vliet
and let this young guy develop.
He young, he super young.
He probably 19.
If that, 20 years old.
So I don't know
They got a bright future
With the Rockets
Man
If year two
Fareed Shepard
Looks like Peyton Pritchard
That's fire
That's a hell of a look for them
I mean obviously
You want him to grow more
Instead of him being
Such a high lottery pick
But if year two
He's Peyton Pritchard now
You got to steal right now
I think he has potential
To be a little better
He's bigger
He's around 6'3
You know what I mean
6'4
Way more athletic For". Way more athletic.
For sure. Way more athletic.
What he showed us in college
and what he showed us in the G League, just as good as a shooter.
I've known him forever,
so I know he's a high IQ player.
And then as a rookie, getting 25-5
against the best team in the
league besides the Cavs, one of the best teams in the league.
When you got your opportunity, it say a lot.
Most definitely.
It say a lot.
I'll scroll up to his pick.
That pick is crazy.
He got a porn mustache.
Yeah.
Ron Johnson.
Reed Sanchez.
I don't even know if I should say that.
That don't even look like my boy Reed.
Reed look how he just got off work.
That don't look like Team T. Green right there,
man. Oldest 20-year-old
ever. That's how they treat us.
Travis Kelsey looks.
Because Reed used to have the cool little taper
face. You feel me? But tap into your side,
bro. It's that bad.
He don't just be
bugging pitching that shit. Because Reed don't look like that, bro.
That's a wild pic
Nah he really don't
That might be a fake picture
Nah he look like that
That might be AI bro
He look like that bro
That got Reese Shepard messed up
The comb over
It's crazy how different
White people can look
By the haircut bro
I hear different agendas bro
By the style
Got a great clips
That goes
Line up yourself
Get real different
SGA man
450 pieces a month
I mean this year year, excuse me.
That's crazy.
Just consistently killing the way he's been killing it.
Always going to at least get 30, but the 50-piece, averaging 32, best team in the NBA.
Just go ahead and give him the award, bro.
He got it.
Oh, yeah.
He has to get MVP this year.
Anything else would be insane.
That's cool.
Yeah.
He one of the coldest players to watch play basketball. Like, when I watch him play, he's so smooth and effortless with his game.
That is like, I don't know how we don't highlight him more.
Is he more smooth than Ray Allen on the books?
Yeah, he the smoothest player I ever seen play basketball.
Everything about his game is nasty.
If you think about it, when you think about him as a player,
he don't shoot a lot of threes.
All his game is bump, step-throughs, fadeaways, mid-range.
But when you watch it, it's the smoothest thing ever.
If you heard somebody say, this guy play like this,
all he shoot is mid-ranges and bumps and try to go to the basket,
you would be like, he got a nasty game.
Yeah.
But when you watch it, nah.
That shit cool.
I don't even see nobody else that play like him.
No.
In the league.
Mm-mm.
Like, he plays, like, damn near against the grain, for real.
He, like, he got, like, Rod Strickland game.
I like that. Like, he got handles rye strickland game i like that like he got handles get to the
paint finish really well and then he got this smoothness about him like a ray allen he just
yeah that's why it's like ray allen and milwaukee down to play the same way he just rail on shooting
the three for sure but he got so many counters and handles and step throughs he got like genoble
ray allen rye strickland all mixed together.
It's kind of crazy.
His game is something.
He bringing the twos, baby.
I remember they was getting away from that in the NBA.
It was against shooting twos.
He getting 30 shooting.
Damn near DeMar DeRozan.
Yeah, I was going to say getting 50 pieces
and probably making a couple threes is crazy.
No, he like to.
He get to that free throw line.
So he got the deepest bag
in the league.
Oh, for sure.
I think so, for sure.
Outside of Kyrie.
Him,
Kyrie got the craziest
handles and all that,
but like,
to get to it,
him and Luka get to it
more than
anybody.
Like,
they put you on their hip.
They get any shot
they want at any time.
Y'all got a top three
deepest bag
right now?
Say, Luka and Kyrie.
I like that.
They get right to it.
You ain't going to throw KD in there?
KD got a deep bag, but KD more of I just shoot over you.
Okay.
Like, I one-two dribble, seven-foot, shoot over you.
Yeah, I don't even see you want to pull up.
Yeah, like, KD don't even go to the basket for real, for real.
He shoot straight middies just over want to pull up. Yeah, like, KD don't even go to the basket for real, for real. He shoot straight middies
just over you.
Three balls.
Yeah.
Yeah, he went five from
number three yesterday
with a 50-piece.
Yeah, if Shea's hitting
five threes, you're cooked.
Because he didn't even take
the million other games.
So, yeah, shout out to him.
More for the Rockets, man.
They started off this year
17-6 on the road.
Dropped the last
seven road games.
And Sam Emick has reports
that they're both looking at KD and Book possibly
to join that Rockets team.
They have the capital and they have the young talent to do it.
I'm nothing, bro.
Maybe I'll just trade for KD and Book.
I'm nothing, bro.
Possibly.
I'm nothing.
That ain't happening, bro.
Don't.
They'd have to give up everything in the world.
Yeah, that's a business decision, though.
I ain't trading for them.
If I got a young core like that, that's like the Thunder doing that, bro.
Y'all got a young core.
I mean, Book ain't on his way out, but KD is, bro.
Too high risk, bro.
You got to give up the Thompson twin, Ken Whitmore, Reed Shepard,
and probably Jalen Gray.
Don't have to.
I'm needy.
I'll take KD in that situation.
Oh, yeah, Jalen.
If I can just get KD in that situation, yeah Jalen If I can just get KD
In that situation
Yeah I'll make some
I'll make some moves for KD
So I'm not taking both those
Me as a business owner bro
I'm sleep bro
I'll take KD
I give up Cam Whitmore
Tari Eason
I give up all the wings
Besides the Thompson twin
Yeah I'll give you
Cam Whitmore
Well shit if I can keep
My whole court
Well yeah
But if I gotta give up
The smoke
I'm not bro
Nah I'm saying
As long as I can keep
The Thompson twin I give up Dylan Brooks Cam Whitmore not, bro. No, I'm saying as long as I can keep the Thompson twin,
I give up Dylan Brooks, Ken Whitmore, Tari Eason, Reed Shepard.
I'll say less.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm not giving away Jalen, though.
I'm not giving away Thompson.
No, that's it.
Absolutely not, bro.
But Ken Whitmore, Jabari.
Yeah, I don't know.
Jabari for sure.
Tari Eason and two picks?
Jabari is probably going to go to the Hornets.
He's on anybody's straight block right now.
Yeah. I'm going to do Jabari like that. I like him. He's a quality player, though. He is. But the Hornets he's on anybody's straight block right now yeah
I'm gonna do Jabari like that oh I like him he's a quality player though he is but I'm saying he's
on anybody yeah but I'm saying he's more y'all want him I think we'll have a good postseason too
I think KD gonna be if he gets to the Rockets that's a good pick but I want him to go to
OKC I think OKC got a better formula for him. They got all those picks.
Give up three of them first-round picks for KD.
One of them little young joints he got on the bench.
Make it happen.
Yeah.
That way, when he go, we still the same.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
And it's a homecoming.
Yeah.
He'd be able to love that. And you fit.
You fit that group because he ain't a selfish player.
He don't need too many shots.
KD get 14 shots.
He going to make eight of them.
Most definitely.
Yeah.
For sure.

have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.

shout out to the shout out to the production team uh cares of our euro set for game man that's crazy
man it was a good steal.
Good defensive play.
Probably the defensive player of the year.
He averaging three steals a game.
Which is crazy.
Dyson Daniels is having a hell of a year.
Wimby went out.
I think he should be next in line for defensive player of the year.
I know everybody talking about Triple J.
Yeah.
The league ain't going to let it happen anyway, though.
Oh, you don't think so?
No, he's going to be up for that Supermax.
They all work together.
So Dyson Daniels, he should be defense player of the year.
He's having a hell of a year.
Yeah.
Averaging three steals is not normal.
No, that's insane, actually.
Yeah, that's not normal.
Here we go.
This is how this game ended.
Ja was out.
Triple J was already hurt.
Let me hold that.
Give me that shit.
When you come on the show, Diz, hold that. Give me that shit. When you come
on the show,
Des, we got
to talk about
that one.
Hey!
Getting
you up for
game is crazy.
We're going
to talk about
that one,
Des.
And D-Ban
hooped out
yesterday.
35 point
triple-double.
35-10-10.
He played
great.
Amazing.
It's just a
heady play by
Dyson Daniels.
One of the best defenders in the league.
And he just happened to make a good play on the ball.
Good pass, too.
That's a K-love pass.
Good pass.
Euro for game is crazy.
Curious about who got yesterday, 25-5.
See, Trae Young, celebrate your guys, man, because you had a bad game.
Still had 12-15, though, 5-17 from the field.
Young Zachary looked good good yesterday With 27 though
Yeah
They speak high of him
Very very high
They say
He one of those gym rats
One of those guys
Gonna be really good
You know
Speaking to my family
Over there in Atlanta
They really excited about him
So
It's good to see him
Having a moment
Yeah
When I was even a scout there
We loved Dyson Daniels
We loved his defensive ability.
So to see him get on the team and doing what he's doing, hype for him, man.
That's fire.
For sure, man.
Shout out to the Hawks getting a W yesterday.
Unfortunately for the Grizzlies, the job was already out yesterday.
But they lost Triple J as well.
Apparent ankle injury.
We'll hear more about that.
But they've dropped six of the last eight, man.
Currently fourth in the West.
Yeah, I think the Grizzlies grizzlies one of those teams they always an injury away from being out the playoffs and um with the lakers playing how they're playing i think the lakers solidified that
two seed for the going forward if luca and lebron can stay healthy but the grizzlies, man, without Ja, they just not that.
No.
Triple J can have moments like he did the other day, had a big game.
Mm-hmm.
Had a hell of a season.
He don't have no, like, Kevin Garnett impact on the team.
Yeah, his 35 is just, like, it's just 30.
It's different, yeah.
Yeah, it's just like he had 30.
But, like, Ja Morant, 35, it's like I can change your season, 35.
I can win a playoff game, 35.
Yeah.
I can change the momentum of a series, 35.
Yeah.
And without him, Memphis is just whatever.
For sure, it's a different type of impact for sure.
Could we go to the Western Conference sentence, please?
I know they dropped down to four.
Yeah.
Rockets, Grizzlies right now now I'd have to go Rockets
look at them look at them Warriors though right there at six it might get they don't want to see
the Warriors in the playoff series oh no the Rockets don't want to see them the Grizzlies
don't want to see them that that's not that that Jimmy Butler effect is real man
Warriors play the Grizzlies
That's 4-1
Right now it'd be Nuggets
Warriors so
That Jimmy Butler effect is a real thing bro
I was a part of a crew
When Jimmy came along
Alright man
While we're here speaking of the Warriors
6-7 got a Doug Bishop of the Hornets
119-101
Look like a different team there man That Jimmy Butler effect is a real thing man. While we're here, speaking of the Warriors, six to the last seven, got a Doug Bishop over the Hornets, 119 to 101.
They got a different team there, man.
That Jimmy Butler
effect is a real thing.
I'm telling y'all,
I've been a part of a team
where they ain't make
the playoffs for 14 years.
Draymond got hurt.
Draymond got real stats
again, too.
Yeah.
Draymond, yep.
16, 12, and 6,
that was a real
Draymond Green line.
They playing with
a sense of urgency.
Yeah.
Man, you seen it.
Defensively, they playing better.
Offensively, they rolling.
Yeah.
It's a sense of urgency.
And I think Jimmy brought that.
Or like a little sense of hope.
Like, all right, we know we going for it now.
We done brought Jimmy in.
We ain't playing all these young dudes.
We trying to win for real.
Yeah.
And for him to win, for y'all to win,
he only had 13-4-3. It's for y'all to win the healing he had 13 4
and 3 it's fire come on man but he had 22 yesterday solid bro brand position yesterday
instantly bro it's crazy i mean also we gotta go to the hornets miles bridges hooped out 35 and 9
mellow hooped out with 25 9 and 7 um itupert, both of them are going to be on the trading block this offseason. Where would y'all like
to see LaMelo Ball?
Clippers.
Okay.
Yeah, go somewhere
where it's dynamic, boy.
Go to Miami, boy.
Go to somewhere.
Hey, I'm not mad
at LaMelo Ball in Miami.
Can't go to another
Charlotte to you.
I mean,
LaMelo and Pat Riley,
I don't know if that's
going to work out,
but I would love to see
one that's never going
to work out.
See, the Clippers is trash. Like, if the Clippers don't make no noise, going to work out, but I would love to see him on that team. It's never going to work out. The Clippers is trash.
If the Clippers don't make no noise, you go get LaMelo, you trade Kawhi,
or you trade James Harden, whatever.
You get rid of these older dudes, bring some new blood in.
You bring LaMelo, LA kid, it's going to be exciting.
That's a steal.
I like that.
Because the Clippers are always in that middle of the pack.
They're not going to compete for a championship this year.
Yeah.
It ain't not winning.
You might as well put butts in the seats.
LaMelo going to put them in the seat.
People love LaMelo.
Kids love LaMelo.
Especially in L.A. too.
L.A. kid.
Yeah, I like that.
You might as well move on from James, move on from Kawhi,
whoever you got to move on from.
Bring LaMelo back.
Start to rebuild with LaMelo?
Yeah.
Him and Ty Lue will click.
That'd be cool.
I like that idea.
I like that idea a lot.
I forgot about Ty Lue being a good leader for him in that situation for sure.
Damn.
Like you said, man, the Warriors is a tough team.
I would not want to see them in the playoffs.
I think outside of Nuggets,
anybody else don't feel comfortable
or,
I mean,
feel okay in that situation,
but,
yeah,
I would leave Steph and Jimmy alone.
They do too much for sure.
The only thing about the Clippers
is that they dealt with people
with injuries for so long.
PG was injury prone.
Kawhi,
out with injuries.
James Harden,
since he's been there
only one who's been consistent
always
willing to play
you trade for Lomelo
you basically
it's iffy
yeah
he might only play
30-40 games a year or two
so
it's a curse
yeah
it's a curse
for real bro
it's a curse
damn near Brooklyn bro
them is two franchises where boys go and you're going to get hurt.
Yeah, that Brooklyn shit different.
So I don't know if I'd be like a little iffy to trade for him because of that,
but whatever.
Yeah, speaking of hurt teams, Dallas,
we got to bring up the allegations against them yesterday.
Give us on the Kyrie.
He got hurt yesterday in the game.
Belt to ass situation, 122-98.
Kings got the dub. Levine
22-3. DeRozan had 20.
Man,
Kyrie got hurt yesterday. We will see what's going on
with him. Prayers up for him. Spraying knee,
okay. Why, you gonna hold me down?
Glad he didn't tear my
balls. Yeah, that was wild.
Yeah, but shout out to the door that's
pulling up later than ever. Yeah, man.
Give us something for Dallas. Everything that's walking in the door is getting hurt this year. They just need to go ahead and's pulling up Later than ever Yeah man Give us something for Dallas
Everything that's
Walking in the door
Is getting hurt this year
They just need to go ahead
And shut everybody down
From next year man
Yeah it's pretty much
Over with
That Kyrie injury man
I pray that everything
Is straight
But that shit
Didn't look
Too pleasant
Yeah
I wouldn't want to play
No I think he's going to
Have to sit the rest
Of the year out
That was pretty
Yeah
Hoping it's a sprain
But that's what
Other people are thinking
It is
Hopefully not that
I pray it's a sprain
And um
It's Ramadan too
So
Just chill out brother
Yeah for sure bro
You know
It's not worth it
Right now
Just chill out
Especially not
Ramadan easier
When you ain't playing
So shit
Yeah
Well it's easy
When you got people
Who care about your meal
Remember how you said
Brooklyn was giving him
Them Lunchables
And said get out the mud
And that was out of pocket
Yeah that team
That was that COVID stuff
Though they
They was just playing
With his mind
We need a 30 for 30
In that situation
By how the Nets did that
To James Harden
Kyrie has really
Overcame a lot bro
What
But they trying to
Shout Kyrie out the league
Bro like he was trash Or a terrible person, bro.
It was wild, bro.
For sure, man.
But shout to Zach Levine, man.
What's the coverage player of the week?
Been going crazy, 26 and a half.
Is he a person that the Kings want to keep long-term next season?
They don't want to keep nobody.
I was going to say, who knows what the Kings want to do?
Yeah, I don't know.
Probably, though.
They've been wanting him for a long time.
They was the first ones to offer him that contract before the Bulls.
And Bulls said, restrict your free agency for a reason.
So he had to come back to Chicago.
But they've been a fan of Zach Levine for a while,
so I think they'll probably keep him.
For sure.
Shout out to Zach Levine, man.
A couple games took place last night as well.
The Blazers took care of the 76ers, 119-102.
Every Simon's hooped out yesterday, 34-piece.
Shaden Sharp hooped out as well, 20-11-5.
Tyrese Maxey got hurt early in the game, though.
Give us some for him as well.
But Andre Drummond hooped out yesterday, 25-18.
It don't matter.
Shut that whole team down.
Okay, Drum.
Yeah, Drum hooped out yesterday.
Shut the whole team down.
They can probably get tanked for Cooper or something.
I don't know.
Capture the flag.
Yeah, they pick out to be terrible, too, to keep y'all believed, too.
So, yeah.
What we doing?
They right in the hunt, boy.
That'll be lit, bro.
If they just lose the next.
I don't want that to happen, bro.
The rest of their games, bro.
Tyrese, Maxie, Jerry
McCain and Freaky Coop
No give them Ace Bailey
I'm something bro
I'm rocking
I'm rocking bro
I love that
I don't like him on none of them bottom
three teams right there
Don't you worry he He'll be there.
I ain't mad at Toronto, though.
I ain't mad at him in Toronto.
Who?
Coop.
Nah.
If he had to go out of them three teams, you mad at that?
Nah, I won't.
I don't want to.
You haven't seen him with the Wizards?
Go to the Wizards.
I'm just saying, brother.
I don't ever want to see him with the Wizards or the Hornets. Can you go to the Wizards? Go to the Wizards. I'm just saying, brother. I don't ever want to see them with the Wizards
or the Hornets. Can you
go to the Western Conference? I want to see who the last team
in the Western Conference is. You know who it is. Utah, baby.
De'Aaron Fox,
bro. We know you watch the show, bro.
Keep losing. Shut it down.
I don't want to
tell you no shit like that.
I did not know y'all
are 13. Let the
Blazers rock out, bro.
Let Chauncey and them figure it out.
If he can get to the Spurs. Oh, Lord.
They not gonna let him get
Wimby in.
Adam Silver, make the fucking call.
Wimby in. Cooper
Flag. Nothing, Jeff. I'm something. They need
Cooper Flag in a different market. Y'all already got
Wimby. Nah, turn it up.
Utah's getting Cooper Flag.
I swear I didn't know they was 13.
Y'all thought we was just talking about the Spurs being like up.
You got to think.
Utah don't have a star.
Wimby is Spurs.
Pelicans got Zion.
Jazz, they got nothing.
They going to put him in Utah.
If you don't send him to
the first game. I wish it was like the old days where you could see
the draft who got the number one pick while you were still
in college and you had the chance to go back to
college. Yeah.
I wonder what boys would be going back
to college. Yeah, they was making light jokes. He was
talking about, yeah, I might come back for another year.
No, you're not, bro. John Shire's not allowing you to come
back to the university. Yeah, he will.
John Shire don't give a damn. That's my job. If you tell me if you came off and said, I'm coming back, bro. John Shire's not allowing you to come back to the university. Yeah, he will. John Shire don't give a damn.
That's my job.
If you tell me,
if you came off and said,
I'm coming back, coach,
I ain't going to be like,
no, you're not.
You're going to the NBA.
You're going to be a no-one draft pick.
And he'd be like, no, I really don't.
A lot of coaches do that, though, bro.
What?
Tell them, man, you ain't coming back.
Yeah, bro, get it.
Yeah, I mean, I would tell him that.
Cal did the markets like that.
If he told me to my face,
coach,
I do not want to play for Utah.
I'm coming back here.
I'm going to say, no, you're not.
You need to take your ass to the drama college parents
that y'all are the number one pick.
And their parents say, no, no, no, we don't want to go.
I'm not going to be like, well, I'm not letting you back.
Okay, my friend.
Well, I tried.
Well, at least you tried.
Yeah, at that point.
You act like Nick came into the office.
Shit, I was going to tell you don't go anyway.
That's how you make it a single fight.
Nah, nah, nah.
Nah, they ain't going to do that.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm saying you ain't on that, bro.
Nah, hell nah.
It's different, bro.
Cal was pushing them boys like.
Yeah, I'm sure Duke is pushing him.
You're going to be the number one pick.
You're the best player in the country.
Go to the league, bro.
You deserve to play in the basketball.
Because you don't want to risk that injury.
Yeah.
But if he like, I do not want to go to Utah, coach.
I'm like, you're going to have to tell your agent to tell them you do not want to go to Utah.
And Utah say, I'm going to pick you anyway.
And he say, I'm coming back then.
I ain't playing with my chicken like that.
Me, I don't care.
I play in Utah.
Shit, it's probably cool.
Yeah, I'm going to figure it out.
Yeah, and Cooper a little bit different too.
So Utah, he might fit in a little bit.
I'm one of them too.
I came from Maine.
It can't be nothing worse than that. It can't be nothing worse
than that, bro. Going back to your roots, bro.
It ain't nothing in Maine.
It's on the other side of the motherfucking country.
They made Maine look so weak.

Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow
through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say,
hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move
without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month,
a time to conquer the things
that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself
to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all. So tune into the podcast,
focus on your emotional well-being, and climb your personal mountain. Because it's impossible
for you to be the most authentic you. It's impossible for you to love you fully if all
you're doing is living to please people. Your mountain is that. Listen to Made for This Mountain
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull will take
you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms, even the signal chats that make our economy tick.

Prime Josh Smith or Austin Reeves.

They don't even do the same stuff.
Yeah, I'm cool on that.
Cozy said, should Cody slap Travis Scott as a receipt?
Yes.
Yeah, they would, but they ain't going to let it happen.
I know he want to, though.
Yeah, get it back in blood.
He deserve that.
He probably slam him or something.
They do.
Like they did
Who We See Speed.
That was crazy, though.
Yeah, he got speed for real.
That shit was crazy.
Would y'all get in the ring
and let him spear y'all
for the content?
No.
I get in the ring, but don't. I let him body slam me. I won't let him spur you out for the content? No. I get in the ring, but don't.
I let him
body slam me. I won't let him spur me.
They let him spur you for 50K?
Nah, I let him body slam me. Because Speedy hop right
back up. Yeah. He felt it in the morning.
He felt that in the morning.
Key Agency Incorporated said, how y'all feel about
Devin Booker?
If he's traded to ATL to
team up with Trey hmm nah yeah I don't I don't like D Book and Trey Young together
I don't know I can't I ain't analyze that no I don't I don't like that I like D Book
I'm not mad if we got D-Book.
So D-Book only solid with somebody like a caliber like a CP?
Yeah, he need like a floor general.
His personality is too alpha.
Could he play with a lamello ball?
I don't know.
He could probably play with anybody,
but his personality is super alpha, like Kobe-like.
So he needs somebody else to go right back at him.
And I don't know if Trae Young.
Trae Young probably got a lot of respect for D-Book,
and D-Book probably respects Trae Young.
But I don't know if his personality is to go back at D-Book.
He don't want to defer as much.
I see what you're talking about like you need to be
right there and D book could go back at CP but it's a mutual respect because they they're gonna
hold each other to a certain standard and I don't know if that'll be the same with Trey Young and D
book and he probably look at CP like OG a bit more. He ain't looking at Trey.
He's like, bro, I'm damn near equal,
if not better than you.
So, yeah, I don't see how that'll work out.
Yeah, I don't like that dynamic.
Might give us something for KJ Martin.
We see all these highlights that's coming from
that Pistons Jazz gang.

Ay!
