Here to keep you up to date, everything in the sports world, especially basketball. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells. Joining us this morning are my two brothers to my left, Bishop Henders to my right, my brother Teague. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? What's happening? What up, though? Listen, man. A lot of sports, man. Very great weekend in sports, man. It's only right we get straight to it for sure.

We're going to start at the Garden, you know what I'm saying? The Knicks beat the sleeves off the Bucs yesterday, 140-106. Jalen Brunson went crazy yesterday. He had 44-6. Cat was killing two. He had 30-18. Giannis had 24-13. And Dame had 22. But man, is this the best dude on the league? Man, I know we go back and forth with this conversation

every single week, but when they start to put numbers up like this, it's time, man. It's time we acknowledge it, bro. I mean, shout out to them. That was a good up. You know what I'm saying? I'm waiting for the seven game series. That was a good win for the Knicks though. Okay. They've been kicking ass this year.

You just going to say this is just another regular season game? Okay. It don't make me feel like, oh my God, yeah, you got to stamp them as the best duo in the league. It is what it is. Good dub for sure. For sure. Man, Jalen Breslin tied. Mellow for most 40-point games in Knicks history.

Is he already a Knicks legend? Yeah, we were just talking about it before the show started. Yeah, he a Knicks legend now. He probably the best player since Melo. Cap making an argument about it. You know, this year with Cap being who he been, scoring how he's scoring, playing how he playing. He's definitely stamping his legacy up there with New York.

But Jalen Brunson, man, he the go-to guy. Knicks legend. So, I would say he's a superstar now. Doing what he's doing in New York, he's most definitely a superstar.

Most definitely. And one thing that's dope about Jalen Brunson, we criticized him about him taking the extension for the team early on or whatever the money left on the table.

Well, so far, that's able for them to afford cats. So, listen, Jalen Brunson should definitely be loved by New Yorkers because he did a job solid not getting all that bread, but it allows y'all to have a hell of a team. They got put together right now, man. They beat the sleeves off the Bucs

yesterday. Yeah, I think they're the best duo. I just like Jalen Brunson. I got to see him in the playoffs. Hopefully, like I said, it's an injury thing. If they can make it to the playoffs healthy, that's a real, real special an injury thing. If they can make it to the playoffs healthy, that's a real, real special team they got. They can possibly, you know, win the East,

but for some reason, I don't think they're going to be healthy going to the playoffs. I don't wish that on nobody, but they play a lot of minutes, man. Most definitely. Hey, listen,

if it all ends today, cat first team, all NBA. For sure. Yeah, that's a land slot. Him and Jalen. Now, I ask y'all this question because, you know,

front court, they be kind of weird sometimes. Are you taking Cat and Yoke? Or are you taking Cat or Yoke? Because then you got to think about where Giannis would be in that situation. Think where Jason Tatum would be in that situation.

Yoke is always the... Yeah, but it's one team. I'm saying all NBA. All NBA. They both should make first team all NBA. Bam. They probably won't. They both should make first team on NBA. Bam. They probably won't.

They'll probably be Giannis and Jokic. But Kata makes second team. That's crazy. He deserve first team on NBA, but he's going to make second team. Yeah, because if you look at the forwards, like you said, and the people we just mentioned, you don't know how things could go in a situation. You don't know, man.

That's what I'll be saying. I don't know how this shit go. Does it go off the team record and how good the player's playing or is it just straight off the player? Both. All of the above sometimes. All right, so Kat should win as well.

But Jokic is right there too. I'm saying Jokic and Kat should be I mean, Giannis right there too. The problem is going to be you're going to have to have Jason Tatum in the R&B because he's going to have the stats and they're going to have the record as well.

Do you got to pick between Jason Tatum and Giannis in that situation? Or do you just say Giannis is second team? I mean, Giannis is okay being on second team. I mean, none of them care. I mean, they care, but if you R-NBA for contract purposes, all you got to do is make R-NBA. Track out. Whatever you get.

I don't think they fucked up about it. They all want to be R-NBA. I think I don't think they fucked up about it. They all want to be all NBA. But I think Jason won first team more than anybody, though. But a lot of smut

on my nigga name. Yeah. Yeah, that would be crazy if after what happened with the Olympics, if he come out here and kill average 26, 27, he get second team

on NBA, bro. That's that's going to be a hell of a slight. Jason been having a battle a lot, a lot of shit this year, man. We never talked about that when they said

he was the softest so together. Oh, yeah. Brandon Jennings is crazy. Shout out to BJ. Yeah. BJ our guy, too. But you out of pocket.

You out of pocket, bro. For him to put that as a caption on IG, I'll say, oh, yeah. Message received. We got to stand on shit about Jason. You know I text him.

Say, yeah, nigga, you soft. He probably. Yeah, you soft. St. Louis. Soft kid. All right, now. Teej is asking. You about to turn that nigga into a lunatic for real.

I better chill out. I don't understand it, though. I don't get it. I never understood it. I watched the interview a hell of a time. I think it's because the way he carry himself is kind of like,

you know, chill in the media. They do his commercials and stuff, but he just be chilling. Celtics that we know from the past, like Larry Bird

talked a bunch of shit. Cash shit. Paul Pierce talk a bunch of shit. KG talk a bunch of shit. And then he the next superstar and he just kind of chill. He don't do that. He don't talk shit. KG talk a bunch of shit. And then he the next superstar, and he just kind of chill. He don't do that. He don't talk shit.

He just play. He just do his job, kill, and go home. So what you expect from the Celtics is shit talking. Rondo talk shit. All them was aggressive, talking shit type players. I get that, bro. But, you know, we don't use the best words on our show either sometimes. Yeah. I get that bro but you know we don't use the best words on our show either sometimes but when you say

like Jason is from that for real so when you call a nigga soft like that it kind of hit him different nah

nah I'm 100% for sure I'm with y'all like nah I don't think I don't think he's soft at all

that shit hit that's the kind of shit you would fuck around you're sitting there on the street with. Yeah, like, damn, bro. I'm with you. Every time you on. Because I'm like, damn, he killing, bro.

What you, like, if you just want him to talk shit, just say, I think, you know what I mean, be more aggressive. I think he should have said he was the most polite Celtic guy. He said polite. Yeah, like, he the coolest Celtic guy. Because then y'all was born. I'm like, damn, the softest, bro.

That's a hell of a word. And I mean, you know, L.A. lingo different than our lingo out here. So maybe it's different. Nah, I think it's pretty universal. I'm about to say soft is definitely universal. You know, people misuse our words all the time. They do. But if you're going to say soft in any hood, they're going to show you what that word mean.

I don't think soft was the word he was looking for. Yeah. The irony to it is that if he was being rah-rah, we would be complaining that he's not being himself because that's not what he's displayed before. So it's like, what do y'all want him to do? Y'all want him to be himself and chill, or y'all just want him to be extra?

Keep doing his thing. Keep killing. Yeah, keep killing, bro. And if you know him, you know, like... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's a low-key asshole.

Yeah, he really a dick, Paul. Really an asshole. The shit he want to say to y'all, he really just say it to me. Nah, for sure. Yeah, he ain't soft. He just be chilling, bro. I can honestly say, if he didn't care about his brand, that nigga loves his brand.

Nothing is altering the brand. Nothing. 100%. It'll probably be ugly. A lot of shit, because he is real disrespectful. So, BJ better be glad that shit is bowed right now. 100%. He's crazy. He got a lot of endorsements, bro.

He playing with a lot of chicken, bro. Yeah, he chilling. I'll just say, I just hope at some point in time we get a Girls on the Render JT episode, bro. Now that'd be dope. That's what I'm saying.

Get it right now, bro. Make it in the future. You can cancel that. For sure, man. Shout out to all parties involved, man. Let's talk about a real game yesterday. The Pacers beat the shit

out the Cleveland Cavaliers yesterday. 1-0, 8-93. Yeah, they're on the board. I ad-libbed it. Tyrese get well soon. My boy, you know, the hamstring get tricky like that. Take a couple weeks off. He pulled his ham93. Yeah, they're on the board. I added a little bit. Tyrese, get well soon, my boy. You know, the hamstring get tricky like that.

Take a couple weeks off. He pulled his hamstring? Yeah, you know what I'm saying? You ain't talking a lot. You ain't talking like Luther Vandross today. Nah, I had a good joint this morning.

I had that Cleveland pack in my butt this morning. It was magnificent. Tyrese, again, didn't play the second half. Nimhar went crazy yesterday in the second half. 19.

Siakam had 18. Darius Garland was hooping yesterday. He had 20. Donovan Mitchell had a slow night yesterday. Didn't score in the first quarter. 19. Siakam had 18. Darius Garland was hooping yesterday. He had 20. Donovan Mitchell had a slow night yesterday. Didn't score in the first quarter. He had 19. But that's because we locked shit up yesterday.

You know what I'm saying? Patience. 16 win streak. Yeah. I don't know what your Hawks are doing right now, but we are setting up. I think we top five. Oh, yeah. We right there at five where the Hawks at.

Nine. Damn. Go crazy, King. Yeah. We're hooping shit right now. 19. 19. Y'all just lost our best player. E! We cool. Now we straight. Tyree, you know what I'm saying? go crazy we whooping shit right now 19-19 y'all just lost

y'all best player we cool Tyree you know what I'm saying take a couple weeks y'all we got Nibby back you know what I'm saying he hold it down we cool

Aaron E. Smith on the way back this week too hey Jalen Johnson if you want to come to a real team pull up bro we got the picture tray for you guys

ain't no hoes out here it ain't no it ain't no he just went to sunset yesterday. He said it was dry as a bone. He said it was dry

as a bone. He said he got chicken and leg. You'll never get chicken and leg with Magic. Even Lou got COVID. Shout to Jack Harlow.

You never should get the wings and leg. Oh, man. Shout out to him. These niggas are telling you in a heartbeat, boy. My fucking pride didn forget the wings and lead. Oh, man. Shout out to Oletta. Boy, these niggas are telling you in a heartbeat, boy. My fucker probably

didn't even know a nigga slid to sunset. He did. Literally. He got some chicken and left. To go. Hey, man.

That was a crazy game yesterday. Honestly, the Cavs shot terribly for the three yesterday. I don't think they'll shoot that bad again. We played great defense,

but shit got wicky yesterday. Shout out to the Pacers for whooping ass. We played them again on Tuesday. But I wanted to ask you, I know you feel strongly about Edgerton Imhart. You think he's a starting PG?

Yeah, he could be, but I like him coming off the bench and bringing that energy. He's a great defender, capable scorer. We know what he did last year in the playoffs. I'm a fan of his game,

but the defensive side of the ball is what makes him special. Most definitely. He's probably our definitely best perimeter defender, him and Aaron Neesmith. But yes,

I mean, now it's another opportunity for him to step up. He plays well when he's the primary ball handler. Yeah. Like last year.

So hopefully he comes out and plays and keep y'all in your little hot streak, y'all. Not a little. Don't disrespect his name. You know how people do.

Yeah, you know. A little podcast. A little podcast. It's crazy because him being a primary ball handler, he reallyall. Not a little. Don't disrespect his name. You know how people do. Yeah, you know. A little podcast. A little podcast. It's crazy because him being a primary ball handler, he really don't have pass, though. If he had moments, I'd be like, dang,

but he gets more VC. He can pass, though. He can make plays. He's a playmaker. But like you said, he's not like a crazy ISO player. No, but the way

the Pacers play is good for him. You know, they play fast, open the court. He can drive and kick. And you got Siakam and them who are kind of like point forwards who make plays and stuff, and he can knock down shots. So it fits him perfectly.

You trying to bet on the game Tuesday? Tuesday? Yeah. Oh, no, you should have called me yesterday. We already won. I know we ain't about to win on Tuesday. The whole point of this was just to split this one. The Cavaliers, they lost too many games this year,

so I'm celebrating for a reason. But they got like five, six losses this year. They will not lose on Tuesday to us. I see you had your whole Cleveland gear on today. Oh, yeah, this is about it, though. You feel me? Came in the mail. Shout out to Chris.

Respect. Yeah. 33-5. Yeah, I can't say that. Hey, they ballin', bro. That's crazy. They whoopin' ass and shit, so I'm not expecting a Tuesday win.

They almost as good as my Hawks team. Oh, that's what's up. Y'all done beat them though. Yeah, they was like, y'all done beat them though. Yeah, lock that up. Man, if y'all move on to the next game. You not going?

Hell nah. Are you taking the Cleveland team over the Hawks? All day. Fuck you talking about? I beat the shit out of them. Yeah, crazy as fuck. Oh, line them up. Let's see.

Come on, man. I only see- Boss of the deal last night, he found a 10-pounder. I found a 30-pounder. I only cashed in that was beating us. They had LeBron. Found the 30-balls.

So let's line them up. We got Tegan, DG, two all-stars. It's light. It's light. Oh, I thought y'all was talking about this whole scene.

For sure, 30-piece. Nah, it's light. Tegan is. It's light. Especially, like,piece. Nah, it's light. The team it is. It's light. Especially, like, we already played like that. Garland, Garland can't guard. Jeff is just probably too strong.

But everywhere else, Donovan Mitchell, yeah. Yeah, we used to guard niggas like him. Lamar is locking that. Clamps. Sham God. Sham God.

Who Calcora regarding? Who they third? Who Garland? I think it's Garland. Yeah, it's sweet. Nah. Who Garland? Who Garland Kyle? Warsh. Sham God Who Kyle Corbin regarding Who they third Yeah Sweet Nah Who guard Kyle

Warsh Hisself Warsh Yeah right Who guard Paul Uh Ed Mobley 100%

That's an even matchup Is that Al or Jared Allen I love Al But give me stretch You crazy as fuck Al's still hooping right now That's right Al's still Al might get in. That's true. Al might get

in the playoffs this year. Al got on that Dr. Sebi diet. That's why. Al's still hooping right now. What's his diet? Dr. Sebi diet. Nah, they got a good team. Al got them good vitamins in. With George subbing. With a minivan subbing. Pick and roll to

death. That's what we did yesterday. Hit third quarter. Pick and roll to death. That's what we did yesterday in third quarter. Pick and roll them to death. George just can't play that game. Nah. He got to sit for it. Shout out to my guys. Kenny Atkinson and them boys. I hear Rotation player came with Karius LaVert.

Get hella burned. I love Karius LaVert game, man. You know what's crazy? I thought we was about to lose because Karius LaVert turns into Kobe Bryant every time he plays us. He averaged 21 against us last year. I was like, oh yeah.

I knew this was about to be a wash. Shout out to Karius. Yeah, he is nice. Shout out to, he signed with Anta, with Kyrie. Yeah, shout out to Kyrie, you know what I'm saying? And shit, that damn Hawks team sent three all-stars, so I guess you can send three this year

from that Cavs team. Y'all sent four? Damn, y'all did. I don't pocket it, bro. So it's the same thing. Oh. There is Garland, swear to God, you deserve to be an all-star, bro. He probably do. Blow this shit up, bro,

if you think, bro. Yeah, he do. Evan Mobley for sure, bro. If them niggas made it, bro, y'all for sure, y'all for sure should be a lot.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.

Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask Attorney General... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,

but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I forgot about that. I wouldn't be mad if they made it. Yeah. They were also going to be boring as hell, though. Yeah.

Yeah, I was going to say, yeah. At least we was lit. Come on, dude. What do we got? What do we got? What do we got? The crowd was excited to see Paul Millsap. No.

Don't disrespect Paul. And we love Paul. No, Paul's not good. But I'm saying, like, no, what I mean, we was lit because, like, you got to think, the Cavs,

they ain't seen LeBron in them. Like, they ain't had years. They go to the finals, what, nine years in a row? Yeah. Five years in a row? Mm-hmm. Cavs been lit before.

Atlanta never was lit besides Dominique. It had been 20 years. That is true. That's true. So it was lit like the fucking Hawks. What the? They winning shit?

Nobody expected shit like that. So they went like 18 in a row and shit. They was like, the Hawks with these niggas? Ain't nobody on here really cold, cold. Like, they all just cool. No, I feel like y'all was cold, cold, bro.

I just feel like y'all was out of pocket with the league. David Stern should've should've blocked that, bro. He wasn't even the commissioner, bro. What was he supposed

to block that? They win. They told what he did to Chris Paul and the Lakers. He should've did that with Jeff Teague. It just, it messed everybody up.

Like, you, Al, hell of an all-star. But you, Paul, bro, it really should have been a lock, bro. That really should have been it, bro. Nah. Send it all forward, bro. We love Al. You still hooping, bro.

But I'm going to scrawl it. Al should have made it. Paul should have made it. I should have made it. Kyle got in because somebody got hurt. There's so many other teams out east, Jeff. You're telling me. It was whooping shit, bro.

Y'all was, bro. It's not another nigga out east, bro, that didn't make it me it ain't another nigga, bro. It was whooping shit, bro. Y'all was, bro. It's not another nigga out of these, bro. They didn't make it. I ain't seen them that year. I ain't seen them. Come on, man. Shout out to the Hogs, man.

Shout out to my patients to get that dub. You know what time it is. Jason Tatum yesterday went crazy. He had 38. They barely got by the Pelicans yesterday.

120, 119. Again, 38 and 11 for JT. Porzingis had 19, 11. DeJounte Murray was killing. He had 26-9. Zion had 16. And then T. Murph

had 30-6 yesterday. Celtics are 6-5 in the last 11 games. Anything you'd be concerned about? I mean, I know they got the

one-point victory over the Pelicans yesterday, but... I mean, that Pelican's a different team with Zion, Trey Murray,

with all the guys. CJ played, DeJounte. They a different team. Like, we know that's a different team with Zion, Trey, with all the guys. CJ played. DeJounte. They a different team. Like, we know that's a better team than what they record shows. All the guys healthy. Most definitely. But the Celtics, I think they're just having an up and down moment.

I think they probably getting bored with the game a little bit. Yeah. You know what I mean? They trying new lineups, trying new players. They just kind of getting bored with the game. After All-Star break, they had turned it back up and we had seen a team that we're going to see

in the playoffs going forward. But right now, they're just trying to make it to All-Star break. Most definitely. Like you said, they just ready to get to the playoffs, bro.

They know what time it is. This is just boring to them anyway. Shout out to Zion, you know what I'm saying, returning after one game suspension. Because he kept being late for the team flights

amongst other things. How y'all feel about that? He's out of pocket, bro. The picture of that boy sent, this is what got him caught. It was in that Wendy's line. That was a sent tail. No, it wasn't.

That was a sent tail, bro. You know that was a boy. Why they playing with him like he eat Wendy's? That nigga gonna eat Wendy's. That's it. That's why he likes the tea pot. That's stupid, bro. Y'all know it's all love

this way. Look at that nigga. Somebody delete that. Connie Mool's last episode. Somebody delete that. Y'all see what kind of car he got in here. Somebody delete that. Delete that page, bro. Why do they got you in that?

Is that Willie Colley taking his order? Why do they got you in that old ass car? Hey, man. I was crying, man. I love Chantel, man. Y'all are the best, man. There's no way y'all had that vehicle, bro. Y'all delete that page, bro.

Shout out to Zion, though, bro. He did his thing yesterday. Yeah, that's hilarious, man. Oh, man. That's the best shit in the world, bro. Shout out to Zion, though, bro. He did his thing yesterday. Yeah, that's hilarious, man. Oh, man. That's the best shit in the world, man. Yes. Yes, he has most definitely

done New Orleans. He goes to go somewhere else and play just fine the next year. He typed that slow as hell. The Super Chat asked if Zion has done a New Orleans game.

Yes. I think we all agree that it's time for him to get out of there. But he's so special when he plays. But like, we don't know. Shout out to Jon Foster. Wherever he go, he gonna kill.

Yeah, I was gonna say, send him to Dallas. 100%. Shout out to Jon Foster, though. Good question. Free freaky Z, man, for sure. Westbrook, Jokic went crazy yesterday. Came back with a victory

over the Mavs yesterday. Won 12-101. Jokic had 19-18-9. Russell Westbrook went crazy yesterday. Came back with a victory over the Mavs yesterday. Won 12-101. Jokic had 19-18-9. Russell Westbrook was killing yesterday. He had 21-10-7. Klay was hooping yesterday. He had 25. And Smith should do what he had, 16-10.

Westbrook has been killing. But before we talk about that, I want to give you your credit. You know what I'm saying? Aaron Gordon returned last night. And one thing you suggested was, you know what I'm saying, good coach Mike Malone was going to make that decision. If they were still rocking, you know what I'm saying, slow coach Michael Malone was going to make that decision if they were still Rockets, you know what I'm saying,

slow him back into the lineup. And he came off the bench yesterday. I mean, they've been playing well with Westbrook in the starting lineup. And I told you, he really turns into the point forward for them because he kind of played like Aaron Gordon at 6'3",

but he's also a point guard. And it loosens up ball handling duties for Jamal Murray, who's really a two guard. But now people are starting to say that Jokic and Westbrook is the dynamic duo in Denver because of the way he's been playing lately. It's starting to look like that. Like the stats that they putting up, they both damn near getting triple doubles every night.

I know he's going to do well out there. Yeah, they starting to hoop. And I think Westbrook is starting to get his foot under him. I'm looking like the player that we once fell in love with back in the day. You know, the Lakers, that little stint with them kind of messed him up. In people's eyes, we know what kind of player he was, but we're starting to see it again. He's playing

winning basketball. Most definitely. It's crazy. Russell Westbrook is 36 years old, bro. Yeah. Year 16, 17. For him to still be killed like this, like you said, after having him years of smut on his name, people thought it was done, bro. It's great to see him killed like this. Yeah you said, after having him years and smothered his name, people thought it was done, but it's great to see him killed like this. Yeah.

It's a hell of a team too, man. When Jamal Murray's activated, like you said, playing off the ball like this, they're a different team for sure. To have him for the minimum or whatever he's on right now, I know he's going to be low.

Still, nigga. And he like, hooping like he playing. He a starter, making what, three or four million? Shout out to Westbrook, man. He definitely earning his money.

He definitely going to get a higher payday next year, for sure. Yeah, I know we talk about this week as well, but you know what I'm saying? Barring the moves of this team, if he fights, it's still a dangerous team. The way they're playing right now, they're going to figure something out. Yeah, they're going to figure it out. Now you got Aaron Gordon coming off the bench. Yeah. That's a different team now.

Chico, bro. Yeah, they're a different team. And they might be a team to be reckoned with in the West for real, though. Most definitely. I looked at the stat. I team to be reckoned with in the West for real, though. Most definitely. I looked at the stat, and I meant to bring this up with the Pacers. Nimhar, I looked at the net ratings as far as, like, on or off the court. Number one, Jokic, two, was Andrew Nimhar, which I thought was crazy. But when Jokic was on that court, like you said,

light night in the office for him, 19-18-9. Like, that's crazy. They are a dangerous team. I don't think too many teams really want to see them in a seven-game series, for sure. Not when you got the best player in the world. Straight up. That's a tough thing to deal with for sure.

Whoa, the Kings. Kings and the Pacers undefeated in 2025. They got the win over the Bulls yesterday. De'Aaron Fox had 26-9. Sabonis had 22-15. Zach Levine went crazy in the loss, so he had 36-10. You think the Kings can make some noise out west, man?

You think they can make the playoffs? I mean, like the beam, I guess they back. You know, the coaching change, I guess, hey, it looked like it was Mike Brown. That shouldn't matter. When your guys believe that you believe in them, they play different. Just being a coach and trying to learn the ways in my second year, you got to start speaking belief into the guys and treating them a little different. I think

that's what Doug Christie is doing. Instead of talking down to them or making them feel a way, he's lifting them up. Everybody believe in playing at high levels, and you can tell that they really rock with him. You saw Jimmy Butler on an Instagram post when he was helping the kid with the coffee. He was like, see, this is what good bosses do.

They pour into their employees, not break them down. That's a fact, man. And that's some stuff I had to learn. And, you know, still growing as a coach, you got to learn that kind of stuff. So seeing somebody like Doug Christie who came, was a former player. And, you know, you kind of tough on people because you want them to do how, you know, man, you so good. I would have did it like this. Why you can't do it?

Because everybody not you. You know what I mean so him to pour into his guys and just letting them be themselves and see how they responding getting wins playing well

playing at a high level it might be his job for the future for sure it's just easier I feel like playing with a player coach who's relatable to you that's probably

that's probably all it was bro for real for real cause I think Mike Brown is a good coach yeah he is he just didn't fit that organization, for real. I was going to say, I had some sources read out to me last week regarding the situation.

I don't necessarily think that was a player's thing. No. As you can tell by the response from the coaches when it happened, everybody was just openly speaking about, oh, that's fucked up how that happened. Yeah, that wasn't a player's thing. I think over time it became that, but it didn't start off

as a player's situation. No, it never started off like that. It's like he probably had some questions for the higher-ups and probably disagreed with the higher-ups about some things.

And then, you know, not to be like that, but the higher-ups, they pay everybody. So they'd come talk to the star player. They'd come talk to people and just like,

do you like how this is going? Do you like? And it could be one thing. Yeah. You know, the player could have been like, I mean, it's cool. It might not be the response they're looking for. You know what I mean? Right.

Or you just be like, he cool. Like, yeah, it's all right. Or have multiple conversations with that person. But like, you sure you don't like anything? So they get something that wrong with it. Now you got De'Aaron Fox on Twitter explaining like, no, I didn't say none of that shit. Yeah, it's just like, he cool. Like, I ain't like anything. So they get something that run with it. Now you got De'Aaron Fox on Twitter explaining like, no, I didn't say nothing. Yeah, it's just like, he cool.

Like, I ain't tripping. Then that one incident with him and De'Aaron Fox going back and forth a little bit or whatever it is, or he kind of played De'Aaron Fox in the interview. They like, look, I know it.

Yeah, they just needed something to bite the head. Just something. Terrible. Yeah, but he a great coach. Hell yeah. He don't keep getting hired for no reason.

Nah, my brother has. Again, the reason I was lighting that motherfucking beam was because he pulled up. He's out of pocket for running down the sideline like that, though.

Talking about the drill. He definitely turned the whole thing around. For sure, man. Shout out to the Kings, man. Keep getting them does. Free Zach Levine, by the way, too. Some more games

took place last night. The Magic took care of the 76ers yesterday. Maxey had 29. PG had 25 and 10. Your boy called Anthony went nuts yesterday. He had 27. And P5 had a dub and eight rebounds yesterday. Man.

How the fuck do they keep winning, bro? Because they... That shit crazy, bro. Once again, when you pour into your players and they believe shit I think that whole roster believe they can win

anytime they on the court that shit is crazy why they keep losing niggas bro another person got hurt Corey Joseph played 16 minutes yesterday and that's no disrespect to Corey Joseph

cause he keep a job but Jamal Moses don't matter who pull up you gonna produce he gonna produce and he believe he believe in all of them like

I ain't gonna lie I would've loved to play for him. Yeah. Yeah, and just to see him when he was assistant coach and he used to work dudes out before the game, like he used to work Luka and them guys out. And then when he was in Denver when I first got in the league, everybody loved him.

Yeah. Like, everybody wanted to work out with him. Even before the game, he'd be in a full sweat guarding dudes. Like, so I know what kind of head coach he is. People probably love playing for him. Like you said, Corey Joseph ain't played all year. He come and play 16 minutes. Come on, bro. Like, you hoot for the magic, bro.

Eric, you got a chance for sure. You got a chance. Shit is wild, bro. I ain't seen nothing like that, bro. Man, to really lose his whole roster and still rock out, like... Nah, respect. That's dope, man. That's why I think, for real, I know it'd be like the best record in the league, bro. He damn near coach of the year, bro. For sure. Sorry, bro.

If Kenny Atkinson wasn't 33-5, he would be coach of the year. Yeah. It's hard, bro. They're over 500, bro. Yeah, comfortably. Fourth in the league, well, in their conference, and they have lost their stars for at least 20 games. Kenny, get your shit off, bro. I feel you, bro.

I'd like to be 33-5. I know, bro. I'm just saying, bro, if we was healthy, bro, you know how good the Magic could be, bro, if they was fully healthy, bro. If you're just going off this season alone, with them missing Franz and P for them games, if they was out, even though they was winning a lot of them games still. And they key, bro.

A Cowell Pope out. They're probably top three. Yeah, bro. Yeah, go, go, go. I'm not saying they better than them. Gary Harris was balling. Either of the three of them top teams. Shout out to Gary Harris.

But damn, bro, I don't know. I mean, the season shows, bro. The proof is in the pudding, man. Injuries, they still win. That's crazy. Nah, and then P5 being back now, he was on his way of being first team all-NBA before he got hurt. Yeah.

But to have him back and he balling his first game, he go for 30 back, and now he go for another 20-piece. He a cold. He hooper, bro. He cold. He one of my favorite players in the league. Tyrese Max was balling yesterday. We had 25 and 10.

It's a hell of a game for PG. Just wasn't enough. But Joel Embiid being on the sidelines, it's becoming normal at this point. We don't even expect him to hoop, bro. Who's worse, him or Kawhi? Oh. Who y'all think more likely to play, Embiid or Kawhi? Oh.

Joel. You think so? More likely to play? Yeah. I'll take Kawhi. Oh. Who do y'all think more likely to play? Embiid or Kawhi? Oh. Joel. You think so? More likely to play? Yeah. I'll take Kawhi. All right, bro. Joel Embiid's probably played, last three or four years,

probably played more games than Kawhi Leonard. Yeah, he definitely. Oh, yeah. For sure. You think, I'm saying, at the All-Star break, who plays? Kawhi Leonard or Joel Embiid?

I'll say Kawhi. And that's, who plays? Kawhi Leonard or Joel Embiid? I'll say Kawhi. And that's crazy to even take Kawhi, but this year I'm going to take Kawhi. I don't even know why Kawhi out, though. Why he out now? His family. Yeah, he's still- The house is a smooth, though. I don't know what's going on with that, Bill.

I ain't really been up to that. I'm just saying, bro. Look where the Sixers are at. Joel Embiid shouldn't be playing after the fucking All-Star break. Yeah, I think he going to sit out the rest of the year. It don't make a difference just saying, bro. Look where the Sixers are at. Joel Embiid shouldn't be playing after the fucking All-Star break. Yeah, I think he going to sit out the rest of the year. It don't make a difference no way, bro. Just get healthy, bro. Get that pig.

Yeah, just sit out. Your age badly turn back up next year, bro. My fault, Cooper Flagg. That nigga Burps with you, bro. Why everybody keep writing me like, Cooper Flagg, Cooper Flagg. Shout out to the guys, man. He only, I mean, he had 42. He made some shots.

Nobody said he was sad. Yeah, he never said that. Don't worry, we'll save that until the end of the show. We ain't, we, fuck his DMs.

Don't spare that, nigga. Don't. I didn't say, no, nigga, get what you deserve. I ain't never said Get what you deserve. I just said,

in the bed that you made. The shit, the way he was scoring was still energy-like. He was playing hard. What do you mean? He just made some, he made some open 30s.

I'm going to get him, you know what I mean? What's up, I'll do it later in the show. Let's move on right now. He just made, he just hit his open 30s. Now don't worry,

we'll talk about Cooper. Good job, man. The Thunder beat the Sleaze off the Wizards yesterday, 136 to 95. Not much to talk about there. SGA had 27. It was light work

at the office, for sure. The Jazz beat the Nets yesterday in OT, 112-111. Isaiah Collier went crazy yesterday, 23-77. Almost smoked at the end of the fourth with that eight-seconds call. Him and Collier Sexton got into it. But listen, they got that dub in OT, for sure. Shout out to the young boy, man. For sure.

off the Chargers yesterday 32-12 the Ravens beat the Steelers Saturday night 28-14 Bills beat the Broncos 31-7 Eagles beat the Packers

22-10 and the Commanders beat the Buccaneers 23-20 yeah I wanted to ask y'all a question and the Commanders beat the Buccaneers 23-20. Yeah, I wanted to ask y'all a question about the Commanders and the Bucs. Yes, sir. You know, the game came down to the wire, came to a field goal.

I was watching the game. What's more pressure? Down one, you got two free throws with no time on the clock. Or a tie ball game, 20-, like the Commanders and Bucks, you got to kick the wind and field goal. What do you think is more pressure? Where's the field goal at? 30, 40 yarder?

I mean, shit, he damn near missed that motherfucker on the 20. Yeah, that is true. The nervous. You got to set a... Because what's the weather? Like, what's the... Nah, just like it was last night for them. I guess it was cold.

That shit matters. I don't know bro He banked it in I'm A bank field goal Is crazy He did Yeah

As long as you hit Shit But you think more pressure You got two free throws Down one Cause you make one On the OT though Yeah

So it's the field goal I'm on field goal Yeah It's more pressure on the field goal But you You only do one thing yeah that's your only job

is to kick field goals you end up professional athlete all you do is kick field goals when you got fouled on a free throw you could have had 25 rebounds

30 points anything you did play the whole game bro if I'm a porn star bro my only job is to crack bro so I might have an off mic bro nah but when you're bro. So I might have an off night, bro.

Nah, but when you're a professional, you can't have an off night. I can, though, bro. That's why they're going to remix the video. Nah, but I'm saying. It's going to look like I had 30 or 12. The only job is to kick a field goal. The only thing you practice all day is kicking a field goal. I think doing this is a lot harder than what we make.

I'm not saying it's not hard. But think about when you play a basketball game, you do a lot harder than what we make. I'm not saying it's not hard, but think about when you play a basketball game, you do a lot more shit in the game. So if you miss a free throw, it's like, damn, it's a possibility you could miss a free throw. It's a possibility you could miss a kick, but your only job is to kick. You don't got to do shit else.

All you got to do is be great at kicking. I might have had 35 points. I could have been killing the whole game. I just got fouled. What's the more I think is harder? To shoot a free throw than a kick a field goal, bro. Hell no. If you out in that Mike Vanderjack situation,

bro, where you got to hit a 40, 50 yarder ball, and if you miss this, it's over. At least if you hit one of the free throws, you got to OT and you can get out the loop. They go OT too. 23-28, 1 by 30. Yeah yeah that's I don't know man but you only got one job

like I agree I'm nigga this is what you do for a living you need to make this feel good I'm rolling that's all you do I ain't rolling

it ain't easy though bro I ain't saying it's easy he ain't saying it's easy I'm just I'm not rolling with that though bro bro you gotta hit yeah you gotta hit like it's a line that goes

you and the placeholder. All y'all do all day is y'all don't take no hits. Y'all don't do shit else. Yeah. And don't let you be on the road, but you getting yelled at. It's a 40-disc series outside.

You got to kick a 40-yarder in the wind. Like, think about in the game. If you Shaquille O'Neal, you done had 35. You done got fouled all night. You tired. You done played both games. You done played defense. you done got fouled all night you tired you done played both ends

you done played defense you done all that shit but you're talking about the worst free throw shooter ever give me a

give put Klay at the line I'm just saying I'm saying it's harder because alright let's say you down one you got two

let's say you down two you got fouled on a three alright let's say you down two and you... Let's just say the same thing. Tie game. All right, let's put LeBron James at the line. Yeah. A down two. You got to make both of them tie the game. Free throws. We're going to OT.

We're going to OT. You down two and you got to hit two free throws. You got fouled. You got to hit two free throws. I think that's way more pressure than if you... I don't know. Yes, you really solo, bro. You really solo. That's what makes me go harder.

And you a hooper, though. But listen. All right, say you down 20 to 17. You need a field goal to hit it. Like, you got to hit this field goal to take it into overtime. Or you down two

and you need to hit these two free throws to take it into overtime. Field goal. That's easy. Your only job is to kick field goals, bro. It's quiet, bro. Now, the circumstance,

if you got, okay, if you miss, you go to OT regardless. Okay, that's a little bit different. But if you have to tie the game, oh, that's tough, bro. I'm taking that every time. But you take it,

so you got to hit two free throws to tie the game or you got to hit a field goal to tie the game. You're taking a field goal. I think that's easy. The reason why I say NBA is because, well, basketball is because if you tie, you have more possessions in overtime to where you can affect them in the game or you got to hit a field goal to tie the game. You're taking a field goal. I think that's easy. The reason why I say NBA is because,

well, basketball is because if you tie, you have more possessions in overtime to where you can affect them in the game. Football rules are OT, bro. I'm just saying, I'm just saying the pressures

to making the two free throws or the field goal. It's even going. So if you down two, you go to the line. Imagine that. Look, all the pressure is on you.

Like, you can blame somebody. The placeholder, the placeholder fucked up the kid. You got to excuse everything. He held the ball wrong. It's just you up there. Nigga, what you think they're going to say? Nigga, y'all play basketball for a living. All you do is play. That's what they say to LeBron James.

That's why it's more pressure. That NFL stadium yell over that basketball arena yell is different. Nah, that shit so... You on an island by yourself, bro. What you think you on an island? Because you just... Them niggas ain't saying nothing down there.

You just believing in them motherfucking O-line niggas, bro. You really out there looking around like, I miss this shit, bro. What you think they saying when a basketball game? You down two, you got to hit two free throws to take it over. And I think the locker room different. You got to deal with more niggas. I think they'd be more supportive. It's 57 niggas in that locker room if you miss that field goal.

It's just 12 of y'all. You'd be more supportive. You'll get more support, bro. You see when the kickers miss, everybody come tap them on the head. Not all of them. You see the people they rock with. But nigga, imagine you in the playoffs, game seven,

down two points. You need two free throws to send it in overtime. Bro, that's a lot of pressure. And we're about to get off this subject, but okay, you paint that picture. All right, you in the finals, game seven, you got to hit this to win. All right, imagine you in the Super Bowl, and you know what I'm saying, neutral site.

You got to kick a 35-yarder, bro, in the wind for the dub. No, that's not a game. No, I don't want. Those finals free throws is crazy. Game seven? Stop, bro. What? Stop, bro. Are you kidding me?

Stop, you wild. You see George Hill in game one. That was game one. That was game one. It was. Niggas down there killed him. Everybody kills J.R. Smith for that, but George Hill should've hit the free toss. That's all I'm saying.

Shout out to DraftKings. Use that promo code CLUB520. Get you a little bonus extra. Before we get out of here, we got a question from the chat. Is the one and done hurting the NIL or the NBA more? The one and done? Like people leaving early?

It's probably hurting college more. Because a lot of people are going for one year that not going to be there. They could have just went out of high school and it could have saved

a lot of headaches. I agree. Like Rutgers, they're getting these two kids for one year. They have Rutgers lit but they're not even good. Yeah.

I mean, it was a waste of their time. Nah, thanks. You paying all this money like AJ Maness is not about to go win a national championship at BYU next year

he should be able to go to the league but because he gonna get what he's supposed to get and he's gonna hoop and then we not gonna care no more

nah and BYU gonna be back to normal again unless they got some more unless they wanna just have it lit for a year like are we just

trying to get this popping for a year people will come like Rutgers is lit they not having a good year. Nobody's going to Rutgers next year. You know what I mean? It's back to

regular schedule programming. It's not like the inspiration I was back in that. We used to see like the Fab Five or the Carolinas. I want to go be a part of that. If you one of them top lower percentile kids

is just like, all right, I'm about to go get this bread. If I go to the league. This is some OJ Mayo USC type shit. Yeah, bro. But if you let these kids go to the NBA because let's be honest, they go to, they. This is some OJ Mayo USC type shit. Yeah, bro. But if you let these kids

go to the NBA because let's be honest, they go to, they go do one year of school. It don't matter who you are. So if you're a five-star kid, even if you're having

a good year or a bad year, most of them leave. The good ones, they get drafted first round or whatever. They play. They either be, you know,

turn to superstar stars or whatever they do and they go about their life. But then you got the other guys who leave after one year who didn't get drafted or were second-round picks. They end up falling off. Like, I just think of a kid named Kennedy Chandler.

No shout-out to him, but he was a five-star point guard. I just remember him because people were like, man, he play like you. But he went to Tennessee, went for one year, played, got a second-round pick, and now he's a journeyman trying to figure it out, which there's nothing wrong with it. But, you know,

he's a young guy. He's probably like 23, 21, something, 22. And he's trying to figure it out and all these young dudes leaving school early

when you could have just let most of these good players go to the league out of high school with a, like a Cooper flag, all these dudes because they went straight

out of high school. And now the guys like a Kenny Chandler could go to school and they could be good players and the pressure won't be on them like

you know when you go one and done people tell you five star you're supposed to be one and done all these dudes like

you believe in that then your game don't really transpire you probably really need to stand work on your guys like Cassius Stanley I remember him at Duke remember the Brian Nash did the Mark Bailey leave early I could name a bunch of guys. Cassius. It's a true time. Like Cassius Stanley. Hell yeah.

I remember him at Duke. Remember the Brian Nash? Did Amari Bailey leave early? Who? Amari Bailey? Yeah, all these kids. Now they journeymen because they were supposed

to be one and done when they could have went to college and there would have been no pressure to be one and done. They could have just went and hooped. He could have did three years at UCLA and been straight.

And would have been a top 20 pick. Now they don't got no degree. And now they're a journeyman trying to figure it out. And it's like they're more than capable basketball players, but they just needed more time. But since they were supposed to be one and done, their intent was to go to college and be there for one year.

I'm out. And they do it anyway. And now they forgot about it. Damn. Well said. Well said for sure, man. We appreciate the questions in the chat. We'll have a day this week where y'all can ask plenty more, but we're going to get up out of here. Great episode
