Starting point is 00:06:28 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.
Starting point is 00:06:44 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.
Starting point is 00:07:00 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?
Starting point is 00:07:13 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. It's just a couple.
Starting point is 00:07:23 26 people, bro. Hell no. He at least 15 at 26 and a half. Just 30. Giannis averaging 30. It's just a couple. 26 people, bro. And he at least 15 at 26 and a half. I don't know. Shit, I might be wild. Nah. Where he at? Click on the points per game, Mike.
Starting point is 00:07:34 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.
Starting point is 00:07:50 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.
Starting point is 00:08:00 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
Starting point is 00:08:10 How much You know how many More points Is being scored In the game nowadays Shout out to Tyrese Maxey I didn't know He was top 10

Starting point is 00:08:23 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
Starting point is 00:08:37 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
Starting point is 00:09:07 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
Starting point is 00:09:17 me I'm niggas that is on a number he said 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

Starting point is 00:09:36 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
Starting point is 00:09:44 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.
Starting point is 00:09:56 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
Starting point is 00:10:29 That would be impressive Never But if LeBron is on a Championship aspiration With Luka And whoever else They grab bro He averaging 18
Starting point is 00:10:37 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

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.
Starting point is 00:10:53 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.
Starting point is 00:11:00 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
Starting point is 00:11:11 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.
Starting point is 00:11:19 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.
Starting point is 00:11:27 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.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Oh, y'all trying to pick on me. Yeah, let me get that switch. Yeah, bro, you need that for your career. Or like,
Starting point is 00:11:38 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
Starting point is 00:11:45 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
Starting point is 00:11:55 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
Starting point is 00:12:06 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
Starting point is 00:12:14 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
Starting point is 00:12:22 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.
Starting point is 00:12:32 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.
Starting point is 00:12:48 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.
Starting point is 00:12:53 He was balling. We talked about Reed Shepard. He got a moment yesterday, 25-5. Yeah. G-League done helped him. Reed Shepard
Starting point is 00:12:59 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?
Starting point is 00:13:10 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.
Starting point is 00:13:24 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
Starting point is 00:13:30 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
Starting point is 00:13:37 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.
Starting point is 00:13:50 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.
Starting point is 00:14:10 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.
Starting point is 00:14:18 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
Starting point is 00:14:35 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
Starting point is 00:14:48 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
Starting point is 00:14:58 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.
Starting point is 00:15:05 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.
Starting point is 00:15:19 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,
Starting point is 00:15:50 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.
Starting point is 00:16:11 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
Starting point is 00:16:26 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.
Starting point is 00:16:51 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
Starting point is 00:17:05 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,
Starting point is 00:17:12 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.
Starting point is 00:17:22 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.
Starting point is 00:17:35 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.
Starting point is 00:17:49 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.
Starting point is 00:17:57 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.
Starting point is 00:18:08 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.
Starting point is 00:18:18 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,
Starting point is 00:18:37 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
Starting point is 00:18:46 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
Starting point is 00:18:55 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
Starting point is 00:19:02 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.
Starting point is 00:19:13 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.
Starting point is 00:19:22 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.
Starting point is 00:19:52 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.
Starting point is 00:20:02 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. Who's scoring big in the NBA this season?

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.
Starting point is 00:27:37 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.
Starting point is 00:27:53 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.
Starting point is 00:28:01 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.

Starting point is 00:28:14 And D-Ban hooped out yesterday. 35 point triple-double. 35-10-10. He played great.
Starting point is 00:28:19 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.
Starting point is 00:28:32 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
Starting point is 00:28:47 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
Starting point is 00:28:55 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.
Starting point is 00:29:05 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.
Starting point is 00:29:20 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.
Starting point is 00:29:52 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.
Starting point is 00:30:13 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
Starting point is 00:30:34 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
Starting point is 00:30:56 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
Starting point is 00:31:08 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.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Yeah. Draymond, yep. 16, 12, and 6, that was a real Draymond Green line. They playing with a sense of urgency. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:26 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.
Starting point is 00:31:37 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
Starting point is 00:31:59 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.
Starting point is 00:32:14 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,
Starting point is 00:32:21 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.
Starting point is 00:32:43 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.
Starting point is 00:32:56 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.
Starting point is 00:33:09 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.
Starting point is 00:33:22 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,
Starting point is 00:33:31 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,
Starting point is 00:33:42 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
Starting point is 00:33:51 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
Starting point is 00:34:00 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,
Starting point is 00:34:17 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
Starting point is 00:34:32 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
Starting point is 00:34:46 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
Starting point is 00:34:53 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
Starting point is 00:35:03 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
Starting point is 00:35:09 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
Starting point is 00:35:18 It's not worth it Right now Just chill out Especially not Ramadan easier When you ain't playing So shit Yeah
Starting point is 00:35:24 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
Starting point is 00:35:31 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
Starting point is 00:35:39 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.
Starting point is 00:35:48 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.
Starting point is 00:36:02 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.
Starting point is 00:36:20 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.
Starting point is 00:36:37 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:38:53 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.

Starting point is 00:39:07 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.
Starting point is 00:39:16 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.
Starting point is 00:39:26 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.

Starting point is 00:39:58 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.
Starting point is 00:40:15 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.
