Club 520 Podcast - 520 In The Morning - Jeff Teague on Karl-Anthony Towns MVP season, Nikola Jokic triple-double, Bryce James to Arizona

Episode Date: January 2, 2025

On the Thursday, January 2 episode of 520 in the Morning, Jeff Teague, DJ Wells, and B Hen debate whether Karl-Anthony Towns is the best center in the East, better than Joel Embiid after his latest 30... point-20 rebound performance in the Knicks win over the Jazz. Nikola Jokic had yet another triple-double despite playing only 3 quarters in the Nuggets blowout win over the Atlanta Hawks. Currently sitting 3rd all time in triple-doubles with 144, will Joker catch Russell Westbrook’s NBA record of 201 by the time he retires? Finally, the guys react to LeBron James son, Bryce James committing to the University of Arizona, and talk about whether he has the talent to make it to the NBA like Bronny did. #Volume #ClubSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Starting point is 00:03:12 motherfuckers take questions take questions he don't know he don't be watching the game you did right I ain't watched that weekend
Starting point is 00:03:20 that's Paul Pierce y'all yeah I wasn't watching that weekend but I was locked in yesterday so now talk shit today you don't watch the game I wasn't watching that week, but I was locked in yesterday. So now, talk shit today. You don't watch the game, T.
Starting point is 00:03:27 You don't watch the game. Talk shit today. I'm locked in. After your insider, they said that pushed you over the edge. They said when you start getting sources, T, you didn't like that. Yeah. I took a break. I was tired of watching bad basketball, but I'm back now.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Me having my insiders and watching the game just raised my level up in the world. Man, get out of here. Power rankings. Yeah. For sure. Listen, man, it's. Power rankings? Yeah. For sure. Listen, man, it's a good basketball. It took place last night.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Cat went crazy. We spoke about him all last year. He showed up here the right way, man. Going crazy as they took care. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:03:54 The Jazz, no problem. Even with Brunson, out. Other two players stepped up for sure. You had Bridges with 27, OG with 22, Josh Hart 15,
Starting point is 00:04:03 14, and 12. Trippie Dubb, and last but not least, Cat, 31, 14, and 12, Trippie Dubb, and last but not least, Cat 31, 21, and 4. Championship Knicks, man. I mean, I don't know if they're championship Knicks, but they're playing at a high level with JB being out for Cat to lead the team and the other guys to step up and play well. I mean, we expect that, though, going against a Utah team.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I mean, I think they're playing for the number one pick, so it really doesn't matter. But seeing Sexton and Clarkson having big nights, they're capable scorers. They should be on the trade block soon. Oh, for sure. Listen, they both had 25 yesterday. They are definitely auditioning for a new team as well,
Starting point is 00:04:33 and they deserve to be free as well. Man, those are two really solid guards right there. Landon Sherman also getting back with the Knicks. That's another little sneaky pickup for that team too, man. Another knockdown shooter. I know he was out with a shoulder injury, I think. Yeah, so welcome him back. They did the right thing another knockdown shooter. I know he was out with a shoulder injury, I think. Yeah, so welcome him back. They did the right thing by bringing him back.
Starting point is 00:04:48 I think he got hurt with them. Yep, early in the game. So bringing him back is pretty cool, though. Man, listen, we look at these rotational players for the Knicks. It's about the contributions they have to this team, man. A triple-dub, not even random, but just slight for Josh Hart yesterday. Contribute 15, 14, and 12. We talk about OG and Bridges, them getting 20-plus.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Hey, man, they might get an easy run for their money, man. You know, we'll talk about it on the pod a little bit later, but if they want to keep playing at this level, man, and getting these type of contributions, man, they're going to be a really tough team to beat in the playoffs. They done found their groove, bro. It's a nine-game win streak. It's good for them because they started off real, real slow.
Starting point is 00:05:21 You know what I mean? So, it seemed like the locker room, not saying it was messed up, but they came like, damn, cat, just kill. We're what I mean? So it seemed like the locker room, not saying it was messed up, but they came like, damn, cat, just kill, we gonna fall in line, basically.
Starting point is 00:05:29 I know Dante's sick. Yeah. You gotta be sick, bro. The leader squad, and they still doing well. And, you know, to be in Minnesota where it's an up and down
Starting point is 00:05:39 struggle right now, I know he's sick for sure. He probably feel like how like DeMar felt when he left Toronto. Yeah, he got a chip. He's got to really click sick for sure. He probably feel like how like DeMar felt when he left Toronto. Yeah, he got a chip. He's got to really click him for real.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because the Knicks, I ain't going to say they better than Boston, but they've been looking real good, bro. Yeah, they popping. They popping right now.
Starting point is 00:05:57 That's lit in New York. Yeah, for sure. And the chemistry is obvious. I think that's what's dope about it too. You got a lot of different pieces you brought in. Everybody got to get along
Starting point is 00:06:03 and it just seemed to work as well. Obviously, you said they're letting Cat kill, and then having JB as your closer, and you got phenomenal role players in that team. That's a really good team. They have a great team. Yeah, it's a really good team. I'm nervous about they bench though.
Starting point is 00:06:17 I don't think they got a bench. You name somebody off the bench that's doing anything for me, I would love to see. I know Tibbs don't play nothing but five or six people, but. Yeah. I mean, pressure's a chore. He had moments where he's good, but I don't know in the playoffs. You're going to need somebody that can come off that bench
Starting point is 00:06:35 and give you a spark. I know Campaign had big moments doing his son's run off the bench. Maybe he could bring something, but. Miles McBride, I'm sure once he gets back, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. I mean, he had moments last year that was great but I don't know if
Starting point is 00:06:48 that's enough yeah I don't know if they got that super X factor off the bench right now also Mitchell Robinson looking like you know what I'm saying he might come back in the next month or so
Starting point is 00:06:54 nah you still waiting on that you don't like that as a backup pick for Cat okay respect Mitchell is smooth I think he can contribute for the team
Starting point is 00:07:03 but I think what I'm scared of is their lack of experience when they when they come down like Boston and Nari did that so shit might get spooky
Starting point is 00:07:13 with them different lights in them finals so I don't know yeah, he got a couple of those guys who've been to the conference finals but not a couple I mean, Bridges went to the finals
Starting point is 00:07:21 nah, he did but I'm talking about like as a team though Cat been to the conference finals I mean, as a team to the finals. Nah, he did, but I'm talking about as a team, though. Cat been to the conference finals. I mean, as a team together, they have experience. You're right, Boston have. They got the same team from last year. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:34 It's interesting. I just think that six men off the bench going to have to play a big role for them. They got to get somebody else that can have an explosive night. Boston got more interchangeable parts than New York. What position do y'all think
Starting point is 00:07:49 do they need? Because I think I'm looking at this roster right now and I'm thinking if they get someone else that's like firepower wise they need somebody
Starting point is 00:07:54 that's probably at the two. Because everywhere else I feel like they just fine at. I think they need a backup big that can like because Cat going to get in foul trouble.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Most definitely. I promise you Cat going to get in foul trouble. They need a backup big. You like Mitchell Robinson. I don't. I don't love him. I wish they could have
Starting point is 00:08:11 kept Hardenstein. Then his team would be perfect. That would have been cheating. That would have been cheating. One of the best teams that it would have been great. I mean, they back up big.
Starting point is 00:08:21 It's a top 10 center or whatever if they had Hardenstein. But they need another big that can make effective on offense because Cat is killing. But when you bring Mitchell Robinson in, he's just a live threat. I got you. You take away from this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:37 And Precious, I mean, I don't know if that's what they're looking for as well, but that is a very valid point. It was one thing we know Cat going to do is foul. He don't foul, bro. And in the postseason, when we get to them teams where it's a little bit closer, you get to the Milwaukee's themselves again. And let's say they run into Philly. And let's just say Philly healthy and the Knicks run into Philly.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Oh, yeah, and B. And B, yeah, he's going foul. He ain't going to have no choice. Yeah. For sure. We look at the Jazz as well. We talk about a lot of pieces on that team that could help some other teams. We talk about Lori Mark and Walker Kessler,
Starting point is 00:09:06 Sexton and Clarkson. You think either of those guys are gone pretty soon? Help Lori get out of there first. Get Lori out of there? Get him out of there first. Okay. I can see Sexton and Clarkson going to help some teams that need guard play or, like you said, bench
Starting point is 00:09:22 play. Damn, he went six for 22. Shit. One of them nights. Hey, I'm max play. I shoot when I want to. 6 for 22 is nasty, but I'm still shooting anyway. So what? Who went 6 for 22? Laurie? Yeah. I don't know who they let.
Starting point is 00:09:38 I don't know. I know all of them probably on the block, but I don't know who they let go. I don't even care. I know Jordan Clarkson can help a bunch of teams. Sexton, too. He got the capable
Starting point is 00:09:49 ability to score and guard, but, shit, I don't know. We'll see. For sure. We ain't too pressed about the Utah Jazz updates.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Neither are they. Not at all. Ever. The Nuggets got the win yesterday over your Hawks. Won 39-1. 20, man. Third straight win.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Beat they ass. Yeah. It was a tough game. They got spooky and joker with crazy triple-dub in three quarters. 23-17 to 15. That's incredible, man. I know we be saying this a lot, but every night he's putting up ridiculous numbers.
Starting point is 00:10:15 APJ, 21-4. Jamal Murray had 21. Russell Westbrook, 16-11. But Trae Young still had 30-9. Now, hold on. Is that four assists or four rebounds? Oh, yeah. We got to make sense. I believe it's four assists.
Starting point is 00:10:29 We put smut on his name because we know he don't pass. I had him with eight assists last time. Yeah, that was cap. But it was four assists last night. He was doing his thing. I played out of his body. That's probably his career high. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I mean, y'all got it. MPJ has nothing to do with swinging. A win, four assistsall got it. MPJ is not known for swinging. I'm wearing four-sits. They was about to win. Hey, that's funny. If we're looking at all the triple-doubles and something happened
Starting point is 00:10:51 in this game, but we happy that MPJ got four-sits, that's nasty. You know what? That's already my very final bucket. Wait, it's only two?
Starting point is 00:10:58 Oh, that's only two? Yeah, four rebounds. See? We got catfished again. I told y'all. I told y'all. We be getting sent tailed by our own
Starting point is 00:11:08 production team. He was almost my verified bucket out the gate. Hey, that was hilarious. Shout out to MPJ, man. I knew it had to be something. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:11:21 He really don't pay. That's why we said force. We were so excited. I was locked in. That's really crazy. That's crazy. He really don't pass. That's why we said force. We were so excited. I was locked in. That's really crazy. That's hilarious, man. Nah, but Westbrook, like, yeah, he missed one shot in the last two games.
Starting point is 00:11:33 That's probably the most efficient basketball he's been playing. That's crazy. Do he continue to be a starter now since they're in the groove, even though Aaron Gordon is out? Do you let him keep starting? Or do you bring Aaron Gordon back? Nah, you're going to have to bring Aaron Gordon back. I don't think you should.
Starting point is 00:11:50 You're hooping right now. Yeah. Is that how it works in the NBA, though? No. I mean, most of the time, you don't lose your starting job. Not most teams. Like, with the Hawks,
Starting point is 00:11:59 motherfucker been like, yeah, you're going to keep coming off the bench. That's how Bud worked. But, well, he used to work, but I was just wondering because they playing so well. I think it's freeing up Murray a little bit with, you know, Westbrook able to run the point. He can kind of go to his natural position, which is a two guard,
Starting point is 00:12:15 and he kind of playing a little free. So now you got two point guards basically on the floor with Joker and Westbrook. Because Joker, we know he'll pass first big or whatever, but now you got Westbrook who's been being like the ultimate point guard right now. You know, he only shooting six, seven shots a game. He just making them. He being efficient.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Yeah, he being super efficient. And now it's freeing up Murray to be able to be himself. I don't know. Do you continue to work with that? I mean, you're probably going to see a lot of that lineup now because obviously they're gelling. I was just wondering. But I'm sure Gore is going to get his starting spot back.
Starting point is 00:12:47 It's a thought. It's a thought for sure, like you said. I mean, I think, like you said, in the NBA, we know when it comes to that money situation, he's going to be back in the starting line. But do we see that line up a little bit more often than not? I don't know. Mike Muller's a great coach, so I wouldn't imagine.
Starting point is 00:12:59 He's got to keep it back in his head if it's working, for sure. I'm sure we'll see that line up a lot. Do you think they still need to add another piece? I know we talk about this a lot, but they still need to get another score off the bench for that team? Yeah, I don't think they need to go for Cam no more. I think they're starting to find a groove with MPJ. Maybe leave Cam over there in Brooklyn right now,
Starting point is 00:13:17 but they might need to find one more piece that can score off that bench. I don't know exactly who. I don't know who fits that system. I know Jordan Poole can play in that system, but he makes so much money, I don't think that's going to add up. That would be a hell of a chart. Yeah, I know Jordan Poole can play without the ball.
Starting point is 00:13:35 He played with the Warriors, so obviously he know how to play real basketball, but I don't think he make too much money to be over there. I'm not sure who has a smaller contract that fits that system. Yeah, I was going to say, I know MPJ getting paid too, but I still think Jordan Poole is getting paid more than that, so they'd have to do more if they wanted to do that situation.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Yeah, I wouldn't. No, they both on max deals, but I wouldn't trade MPJ for Jordan Poole. That's a bad trade because you get smaller. Yeah, but that's the only contract I think that you can match up. Like you said, it would take a lot to make that happen for him. But that would be dope if they made it happen, though. And they didn't leave him. They'd be paying a lot of money to people because they just got paid, too.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Yeah. I mean, the money won't add up. But who's a smaller wing that can score that you think it might? Like a Cam Thomas. I was going to say Cam Thomas was my next thought. But yeah. I don't know if he ever played winning basketball, really, but...
Starting point is 00:14:27 It's time to bring your ass off that bitch. We'll figure everything else out. He definitely can score that. He definitely come off that bitch and score it, though. I'm something on him and Russ off the bitch.
Starting point is 00:14:36 At the one and two? He can definitely score. That is scary. Yeah, Russ... My lord. Russ going to set him up perfectly to do what he do best. He definitely can score.
Starting point is 00:14:44 They fucking going to be unbeatable, bro. For sure, man. Trae Young still had 39. Nothing to sneeze at for sure, man. yeah my lord Russ gonna set him up perfectly to do what he do best he definitely they fucking gonna be unbeatable bro for sure man Trae Young still had 39 nothing to sneeze at for sure man damn that's crazy I wasn't even looking at the
Starting point is 00:14:51 I didn't even read the thing like day 9 and 2 of Westbrook starting I was just saying it because it was in the group that's funny my bad y'all I'll start reading this shit
Starting point is 00:15:00 before we start alright well Westbrook leader of Proof of the Double all time 201 shout out to the production team love y'all Joker got 144 started all time you think he gonna get up I start reading this shit before we start. All right, well, Russ Brook, leader of Proof Nobles all the time, 201. Shout out to the production team.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Love y'all. Joker got 144 and started all the time. You think he gonna get up to catch Russ Brook? No. No. That's tough. No.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Uh, 201 to 144 ain't too far off, y'all. He ain't damn near done unless he fuck around and hang it up. I said no at first because I didn't know
Starting point is 00:15:23 it was a fucking 144 of them. That ain't four, bro. Basically 64. But Westbrook's still playing, too. I was going to say, Westbrook is still playing. But the funny part is, what if Russ is starting hating on him? But he got 10 assists.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Nah, I ain't shooting this bitch. You got nine. You ain't catching my record. All my other niggas and shit. I mean, even, because I don't think Russ is still healthy. Russ going to have to keep going. Yeah. Russ going to need Russ gonna need 12 a season I mean I don't know
Starting point is 00:15:50 a nigga getting his he getting his every day yeah I don't know if he gonna get the triple doubles Jeff he's getting his every day I play 185 games a year bro yeah he get a lot of double doubles I mean he obviously got a lot of triple doubles but
Starting point is 00:16:03 and they don't even be like they don't be 10-10-10 they be 30-20-15 of double doubles. I mean, obviously he got a lot of triple doubles, but he good. And they don't even be like, barely, they don't be 10, 10 to 10, they be 30, 20, 15. He only has 60 games, bro.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Yeah, I mean, a triple double is hard to do. He ain't done. I mean, I'm not saying he ain't, a triple double hard to do. I mean, how many,
Starting point is 00:16:21 what year is this? Nine, bro. Year nine? He could do three more years. How many triple doubles is that a year? So if you're going... Nine divided by 144. If he get 30 a year for three years, he'll catch Russ.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Bro, that's not even... So he get four a year, basically. Yeah, I was like, four a year, basically. Yeah, like four a year. Yeah. Whoa. Nine times four is 36. Y'all disrespecting the arts. Yeah, how many you get a year?
Starting point is 00:16:56 Because I carried a one. Nine divided by 144. He get 16 on average. Damn. That's hard. I mean, 16 on average damn that's hard I mean 16 on average he got a year 9 yeah he gonna he not gonna play 16 years

Starting point is 00:22:34 But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened
Starting point is 00:22:48 when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season 1. Taser Incorporated. I get right back there and it's bad. It's really, really,

Starting point is 00:23:34 He gonna catch. For sure, man. That's crazy. They even buff on the same team like that, too. That's what's hard about it, though. Yeah, that's fire. Because you know what? Russ is probably,
Starting point is 00:23:42 you know Joker been doing his thing, but Russ probably giving him some more game, right? And go, on this night, you can do this. This is probably, you know Joker been doing his thing, but Russ probably giving him some more game. And go, on this night, you can do this. This is how I relax and got this one. And it's crazy that Russ got this
Starting point is 00:23:50 with having like years that we thought was subpar. He didn't get the opportunity to do what he do best. Is Joker averaging a triple double this year? He's almost there. What's even crazier though
Starting point is 00:23:59 is Russ did that at 6'3". For two years. Okay. So we don't have to do better. He's a point guard. That's what makes it so unique. He's a point guard for sure. So did a terrible name, Oscar Robson.
Starting point is 00:24:17 He did it. He did it about that height too. Respect. Let's move on. Shout out to Big O. Again. The lineage. You know I'm on that. Ever since that Pro-Am game.
Starting point is 00:24:28 It's been beef with the nephew since. Get with us on the Robinson family. The 76ers blow a nine-point lead with three minutes left in the game. They started to lose to the Kings 113-107. The Air Fox went crazy yesterday. 35-4. Malik Monk dubbed two. Sabona 17, 21-7. 21
Starting point is 00:24:45 rebounds is insane. That's crazy. You play basketball for real, for real. PG had 38-5. Tyrese Maxey had 27-7. Man. I don't know if it says more about the Kings or says more about the 76ers for this game. It's the 76ers. When they blew a lead,
Starting point is 00:25:02 they had the game in a wrap three minutes to go. A nine-point lead. I mean, piff. That's a lead, they had the game in a wrap three minutes ago. They blew a nine-point lead. I mean, piff. That's a lot of time in the NBA. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:10 but you got proven players in Paul George, proven player in Tyrese Maxey. I know Embiid didn't play, but you got to be able
Starting point is 00:25:18 to bring that home. You know what I mean? But Fox and them are playing it all. They hooping. You know, he playing free now. They got a new coach.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Duh, Christie. Duh, Christie out there letting them play free. Fox probably having the time of his life. Yeah. So, I don't know. I guess I would say that the Kings are playing on the high right now. Mm-hmm. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:36 I mean, it's a bad loss for the Sixers. Because y'all can't afford them. Is it, though? Because they playing on the high and it's on the road. But y'all can't afford. The Sixers can't afford to lose. Yeah, no more blunders. Yeah, they can't, bro. They trying to give's on the road. Bitch, I can't afford, the Sixers can't afford to lose. Yeah, no more blunders. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:45 they can't, bro. They trying to give it into the playoffs, so. And the Kings going through some turmoil as well. They ain't trying to tank.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Yeah, they ain't trying to tank. I don't know what the Kings trying to do, but I know for sure the Sixers not trying to tank. They at least want to be playing and worthy.
Starting point is 00:25:59 We can't afford losses like that. That's true. For sure. I want to ask y'all a question. We talked about guards in the East making it. Is Aaron Fox
Starting point is 00:26:06 getting an all-star game averaging 27, 6, and 5? Having a hell of a year. But it is the West. I don't know if he make the all-star team because they pretty low
Starting point is 00:26:16 in them standards. What are they in the West? Scroll to the bottom. 11, 12. Yeah, 12. 12. Another case. Another case of LaMelo y'all let y'all do y'all thing
Starting point is 00:26:30 let's stay right here if you can scroll to the top please of the guards obviously I don't think he makes it over James Harden just because of the way James Harden has the Clippers playing I think that he'll get the nod
Starting point is 00:26:39 he's played more than John Morant John Morant's been hurt a lot but he gonna be a fan vote Luka will be out Kyrie He's played more than John Morant. John Morant's been hurt a lot. But he's going to be a fan vote. Luka will be out. Kyrie? That's the question. Does he make it over Kyrie Irving?
Starting point is 00:26:55 I say no because he's been carrying the load while Luka's been injured this year a lot. Yeah. He might make it. Do we make it over Steph Curry what's Steph Curry averaging I mean obviously Steph Curry will be starting
Starting point is 00:27:08 an all-star game obviously the fans gonna vote that but dang he might he might get snubbed he might get
Starting point is 00:27:16 I don't know we can say snubbed just for the team record but I mean De'Aaron Foxman fucking hooping but yeah it might get spooky for that
Starting point is 00:27:23 De'Fon's gotta make it I think he's gonna make it he's gotta make it bro man. I think he's going to make it, too. He got to make it, bro. I don't believe it's his fault. Stats is crazy, bro. What's Kyrie's stats, if you don't mind me? Because that would be it. Yeah, D-Aaron Fox averaging 27 and 9.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Y'all can't snub me, bro. 27 and what? 9 assists. Hell no. That's 27, 6, and 5. But Kyrie, what? 24, 4, and 5, basically? That's the same thing.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Yeah, but we not 12th in the West. Yeah, he making it. Kyrie makes it. Yeah. I'm saying Jamal Murray, no. No. Nah. Rockets, guards, no.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Nah. James Harden, yes. Anthony Edwards, yes. Spurs getting Wimby for sure. Yeah. He got a chance. You got to put KD in there
Starting point is 00:28:05 Devin Booker or De'Aaron Fox who's going De'Aaron Fox it is shit I'm going De'Aaron Fox because I'm sure that De'Aaron Fox
Starting point is 00:28:12 is better than De'Aaron Booker whoa you rolling with that I'm standing on that shit okay how you feel about that
Starting point is 00:28:20 I'm not I'm not mad at it I like De'Aaron Fox I just want to see who my favorite young guys I like to take I'm not mad at it I like De'Aaron Fox I just want to see the concessions guys I like to take I'm not mad at it I mean if I'm starting
Starting point is 00:28:30 a team I'm taking D-Book I'm taking De'Aaron Fox I love D-Book D-Book cold we talking about two cold players for sure
Starting point is 00:28:38 but if you starting a team you taking De'Aaron Fox or Devin Booker yeah I'm saying because that's my leader my point guard I'm taking D-Fox so you'd rather build around D-Fox than Devin Booker yeah Devin Booker? Yeah, I'm saying because that's my leader, my point guard. I'm taking DeFox.
Starting point is 00:28:47 So you'd rather build around DeFox than Devin Booker? Yeah, Devin Booker going to be elite on any team he's on. But if I need some, what if I, what if my, rest of my team
Starting point is 00:28:55 is damn near duds? So you're saying he can't, he can't lead the group like De'Aaron Fox? No. I ain't mad at that type. Like I said,
Starting point is 00:29:04 we, this is two great players, but I'm not mad at that. I mean, look, Devin Booker is cold, elite. But if I'm – De'Aaron Fox is like a dominant point guard. You talking about starting the team, leading the team, I'm rocking with him. I'd rather have a shaky two guard. Like, not shaky, but I don't want to depend on my two guard to lead my team. I'd rather have an elite PG over an elite two guard. I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:29:32 To get a team rocking. I agree with that. I didn't like when Devin Booker played point guard last year. Yeah, I don't think it was comfortable. I didn't think it was comfortable. It didn't make sense. Yeah, it didn't look good. Yeah, he gets paid a lot of money to put the ball in the basket,
Starting point is 00:29:46 not pass it to other people. So you put De'Aaron Fox on that Suns team. You trade him for Devin Booker. That's a good. That Suns team way better. He look way better. Yeah, it's a little bit different. Because now Bradley Bill can breathe.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Yeah, he can play his role. He's playing him. This is the book team. I don't want to do too much. Let me get my little 17 and chill. And then you get on that team with Aaron Fox, bro, you're back to 20 plus. DeMar DeRozan is averaging still 20 points
Starting point is 00:30:12 along with De'Aaron Fox right now. Yeah. De'Aaron Fox is more of a scoring guard. I wouldn't say he's a pure point guard. He is a point guard. He's not a pure point guard, but I just feel like he don't need the ball as much as
Starting point is 00:30:27 Devin Booker need the ball hmm it's better to me I feel like it's better having De'Aaron Fox
Starting point is 00:30:35 averaging 20 with another nigga averaging 20 over D.Book you don't like how D.Book get his 20 I like how he get his 20 compared to
Starting point is 00:30:42 De'Aaron Fox when you have another like if Devin Booker had De'Andre Hunter I think it'd be different D-Book get his 20. I like how he get his 20. Compared to Darren Fox. When you have another, like, if Devin Booker had DeAndre Hunter, I think it'd be different. Because DeAndre, I mean,
Starting point is 00:30:51 DeAndre Hunter know how to get in where he fit in. Bradley Beal is a star, bro. Kevin Rant is a icon. I mean, we ain't going to snitch on nobody, but motherfucker did tell us
Starting point is 00:31:01 it was hard playing with some niggas. Because the egos and shit. So, I don't know. I just think role players But motherfucker did tell us it was hard playing with them niggas. Because the egos and shit. So, I don't know. I just think role players will be better fit with Devin Booker than De'Aaron Fox. That's all I'm saying. De'Aaron Fox can rock with two other killers. For sure.
Starting point is 00:31:18 The book is a focal point. I ain't mad to take it all. Great explanation as well, for sure. Listen, between these two teams underperforming, who do y'all think could turn around? We talk about the Sixers day-to-day, but then they do moments like this where they're blowing games they absolutely need. I mean, and B out.
Starting point is 00:31:33 So when B plays, I think the Sixers can turn it around. Obviously, I think they're a better team with B. De'Aaron Fox and them, the Sacramento, I think they're playing on the high. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? I think. But once they leave Sacramento, when they get on the road,
Starting point is 00:31:48 their last two games have been at home. Once they hit the road, we'll see if they're really serious about this turnaround or if they're really comfortable with Doug Christie running the show or whatever. So we got to see them on the road. For sure. And shout out to Doug Christie getting a nod. You know what's funny? I wonder, like, some of those assistant coaches,
Starting point is 00:32:04 it's like being a backup quarterback. Like, you always ready, but like, damn, I didn't think I was going to play out to Doug Christie getting a nod you know what's funny I wonder like some of those assistant coaches it's like being a backup quarterback like you always ready but like damn I didn't think I was gonna play today Doug Christie was not expecting to have a real job like responsibilities probably the rest of this year I wonder if he really wanted that role though I mean I know when you get into coaching it's like oh yeah man if I was running it because I remember a guy shout out to Ryan he used to always talk about man when I become a head coach I do things like this and one day day, like, you the head coach. And he was like, oh, shit. Like, and he wasn't doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Like, he said he was going to do it. Everything went back to, like, well, just run the play he used to run. You know what I'm saying? Doug is a development coach, too, though. So that probably is a hard task for him to attack. Yeah, that's what I was wondering. It was like, dang. Especially no offseason to prepare.
Starting point is 00:32:44 You just got thrown into the fire. and you got to deal with a hole. They probably just like, I'm just trying to make sure you get out here clean. He's comfortable with that team, though. Yeah, he's probably locked in with them. He really been around the Kings organization for a long time with that player development. But like he said, I'm going to just get out their way. I'm going to let De'Aaron do his thing.
Starting point is 00:33:00 I'm going to let Deebo do him. I'm going to let Monk do them and Sabonis do him. I'm going to get out that way. They know what they like. They know what they need to run. They know who can play. Yeah. I respected that, though.
Starting point is 00:33:10 For sure, man. Yeah. Shout out to Doug Creasy, man. Take advantage of Opportunity King. Bryce James commits to Arizona. Hmm. Packed. I forgot what it is.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Packed whatever now. So, they're about to left. Probably 12 now. Six, maybe. How y'all feel about that, man? That's a crazy situation. Not crazy, but it's 12 now. Six, maybe. How y'all feel about that, man? That's a crazy situation. Not crazy, but it's an interesting choice for sure. Sure, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Offers plenty of different places. We know that for sure. Look, is Gilbert's son going here? Is this a bait to get Gilbert's son to go to Arizona to call his dad? I don't know where Gilbert's son is going. Because they are... That'd be far if they linked up there. They friends, though. I'm't know where Gilson going. Because they are... That'd be far if they linked up there. They friends,
Starting point is 00:33:45 though. And I don't... I'm not... No disrespect. Oh, he going with his guy? Yeah, I just... I don't know if this is the overlay for the underlay. I don't want to say, like, uh... I'm not calling Bryce James Lil' Romeo.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Yeah. Romeo. He Romeo the Debo I was just asking like is that the bait to get him to Arizona blow my nigga because we
Starting point is 00:34:11 you know by God they're already yeah like I think I think Bryce James if he goes to Arizona he's gonna play but I just wanna know
Starting point is 00:34:20 I just wanna know the play okay respect I just wanna know the play I like Bryce James. I ain't beefing with him. I was kind of a little disappointed when I seen him this summer. He wasn't 6'7 or
Starting point is 00:34:29 6'8 in person. When we saw him at the pack, he was 6'3. He done a little taller than Jeff. But outside of that, no problem. Because you just don't go to Arizona for no reason, bro. I don't care what nobody says. No, you do not, Jeff. You go to Arizona because your dad is LeBron James.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Yeah, it's a great school. Michael Jordan's son went to Illinois because his dad is Michael Jordan. Oh, shout out. What's my little dude? Jeffrey Jordan. And he was decent, though. I ain't going to hate, though. No, Jeffrey was smooth.
Starting point is 00:34:57 He just wasn't D. Brown now. Jeff was better than Bryce. Jeff Jordan was better than Bryce. Hey, you know know it's quiet I swear to God he was I played Jeff Jordan I played him I played him
Starting point is 00:35:12 he had bounce he had dumb bounce my mama he had bounce so I'm tapped in he had dumb bounce but I ain't say Marcus though Bryce James
Starting point is 00:35:19 you know Marcus is the best I defend with Marcus is gonna be his daddy that's the real MJ so no smut ever on him but Bryce James
Starting point is 00:35:32 is better than Jeffrey George he's not Bronny's better than Jeffrey but Bryce is not better than Jeffrey if they ever did
Starting point is 00:35:39 a lineage versus that'd be hilarious who lineage is better though no cause Bronny made to to the league. I'm the gay. Nah, I'm with it. Nah, fuck that.
Starting point is 00:35:50 My majority family. The longevity is different. Because that's what y'all doing when y'all compare the best players. Y'all niggas take shit off court. I be trying to stay on the court. Y'all take off the court. Yeah, I'm on the court with it. The J's family could never.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Off the court. Y'all take off the court. Yeah, I'm on the court with you. The J's family could never. Off the court. Oh, no. Oh, no. They should never. You should never. If they catch Barney out there like Marcus Boyd, they would try to kill that family, bro. So, all love to the Jordan family on this fucking show, for sure.
Starting point is 00:36:18 But little brother always the wow. Like, going to Arizona is a, I want to have fun. Man, Barney's about to have the best life ever, bro. Yeah, so I want to have fun. He about Brian's about to have the best life ever, bro. He's about to move, turn up. I'm with my dogs. Is Jell-O better than Jeffrey Jordan?

They wrote it on paper, but they gave James Harden my award. Damn, bro. You said Jeffery is better than... No, bro. I ain't going to say he better. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:45:44 That's because they on the block, bro. Yeah, they said, y'all are not gettingvic. I said, oh, damn. Everybody only played 22. That's because they're on the block, bro. Yeah, they said, y'all are not getting hurt. You know how that shit goes. Look at them numbers, though. All the veterans, 22 minutes, 27. That's funny. It's a 48-minute game. They can sit out a whole half.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Go ahead and get out of there, y'all. And they need cockles to play. Yeah. That is crazy. I don't know what they're going to do. Well, nah, nah. They in them talks. That's all. Yma to play yeah that is crazy yeah I don't know what they're gonna do but well nah nah they in them talks
Starting point is 00:46:07 that's all y'all know what that is after the all-star game or the break they gone seeing that was crazy when I looked at that I said
Starting point is 00:46:13 I know what they're doing but I'm just saying I don't know what direction that they're going in what the fuck they're about to do we want them young guys they're about to trade out
Starting point is 00:46:20 they're at the bottom of the barrel worst team in the league we're trying to stay there yeah he real hooper sit the fuck down he don't come out here and try to play basketball trade out a dude. They're at the bottom of the barrel. Worst team in the league. We're trying to stay there. Yeah. Are you real, Hooper? Sit the fuck down. He don't come out here
Starting point is 00:46:28 and try to play basketball for a minute. Cooper going to be sick if he go to Washington. Oh, no. Boy, they going to step in. They are not sending Cooper Flag to the Wizards.
Starting point is 00:46:35 He on his way. They are not. You want them to go to Portland, Wizards, or Utah? Portland. They probably want to go to Utah. They probably want to go to Utah, They probably want to go to Utah, but I can imagine
Starting point is 00:46:46 they probably want him in the Eastern Conference as well. Cooper in D.C., that's a nice market. That's all I'll say. For the NBA to have a young star in a city like that, yeah. I just don't know
Starting point is 00:46:56 if he can have that John Wall effect. No. He won't have that. But to be surprising, this is not a racial thing. It's a lot of white people that go to the D.C. games. Because I remember when I was in Atlanta, I thing. It's a lot of white people that go to the D.C. games. Because I remember
Starting point is 00:47:06 when I was in Atlanta, I mean, it's a lot of black people to go to, but it's more surprising to see how many white people go to the D.C. games. Oh, yeah. Especially where it's at.
Starting point is 00:47:13 I can imagine that being a great market for them. Because they dance with that one hit with the mellow ball. I would love for Cooper to be a Charlotte Hornet. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:47:20 That would be amazing. No, no, no. We know he'll be in the uproar. Him? No, no, no. And beat me up. It's up. Let's go. No, no, no. We need to leave. We'll be in the uproar. No, no, no. And beat me up. It's up. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:47:27 No, no, no. That's a fire three. That is a fire. That's a fire three, bro. That market ain't for Coop. That's a fire three, DJ. Turned up. I ain't mad at that at all, bro.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Send Coop to Charlotte. Because we horrible. He pulling up with a hairball and a Hellcat. It's a new balance. Get in. Step in. Because that would be, that would be, shit, what, three or four lottery picks. That's a new balance. Get in. Step in. Because that'd be, that'd be, shit, what,
Starting point is 00:47:46 three or four lottery picks. That's the problem. You got nothing but lottery picks, man. It ain't lottery. We're not on Boston shit. Turn up. Say that after you come up.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Trust the process. For real. Hey, I'd rather him do that. At least he can go play some good. Boy, he got some wizards. Boy,
Starting point is 00:48:01 goddamn. It's going to be a lot on his shoulders, bro, is what I'm saying. I wouldn't be mad to see Charlotte like that. They might get some TV games. They excited.
Starting point is 00:48:09 But damn, if LaMelo could just stay healthy, bro. He's so cold. He just always hurt. Yeah, man. He could well assume LaMelo for sure.
Starting point is 00:48:17 He beat the Pelicans yesterday 119 to 108. Your favorite white boy had 32 and 4. Fam had 23, 9, and 10. That's nothing for us. That's light. T-Murph had 34 and 2. Fam had 23-9-10. That's nothing for us. That's light. T-Murph had 34-2.
Starting point is 00:48:28 T-Hero time? It's his team. Jimmy, he played, but Jimmy chilling. Jimmy ain't trying to get hurt. He trying to get traded. It's Tyler Hero time. I can't get Jimmy to be clowning. What are you asking me if I want to be here or not?
Starting point is 00:48:44 I mean, what do you mean by that? He be clowning, bro. With purple hair. I love it. I said, damn, just tell him you want to go to Phoenix, bro.
Starting point is 00:48:50 Yeah, bro. Then he went to the P. Hey, he's hilarious. He's like, hey, y'all, I'll do what the fuck
Starting point is 00:48:54 I want to because y'all know what happens in the playoffs. Yeah. But right now, it's Tyler Hero's team. He's playing at an all-time high. Confidence is through the roof.
Starting point is 00:49:02 He got a fade. He just locked in right now. He ain't doing too much talking, nothing. He's just playing and he's killing. A little shove didn't do nothing to my boy confidence. He locked in. That judo toss, that was wicked. What do you think that need?
Starting point is 00:49:17 I mean, if you move on from Jimmy, do I need to go get a guard, a point guard? I mean, you can. What do you think the team need? I like T-Row. I like Tyler Hero with the ball in his hand. He's playing well like that. I don't think they need a point guard right now.
Starting point is 00:49:32 But if they do, they can go get De'Aaron Fox. They can go get an explosive guard. But, hey, De'Aaron Fox on that team, that's scary. I'm telling you, bro. That's scary to have T-Roy, Ducker Robinson in the band. You see now what he's doing in set. And De'Amar, you know, that's our. I'm telling you, bro. That's scary to have T.D. Rowe, Ducker Robinson, and Bam. People see now what you're doing in set. And DeMar, you know, that's our guy. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:49:49 Sabonis is good, but him with Bam, bro, the young core like that, they're going to be scary, bro. And the way the Heat organization is running, the way they play basketball, having all those valuable players that's finally nowhere. They don't have nobody to push the ball
Starting point is 00:50:01 like De'Aaron Fox, bro. Like, they don't have no, they trying to go up and down. Yeah. Bam trying to go up and down. Bam is not no half-Aaron Fox, bro. Like, they don't have no, they trying to go up and down. Bam trying to go up and down. Bam is not no half-court nigga, bro. Yeah, he probably better than Elmer Hill.
Starting point is 00:50:10 So he not really that good. Yeah, he is. And you can always keep T. Rose, a great six-man out the bench. He's always great. So it all fits.
Starting point is 00:50:18 And he a great vet. But you gonna have to trade him if you trying to get De'Aaron Fox. He's in that trade. Get Duncan Robinson out of here. Duncan Robinson been playing some good basketball for him. I was going to say, trade him if you try and get De'Aaron Pauley. He's in that trade. Get Duncan Robinson out of here. Duncan Robinson.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I've been playing some good basketball for him. I was going to say, put him in that lineup. That's the problem. Duncan Robinson getting in the playoffs and start remembering he was cold again. Get De'Aaron out of here. Are you nothing on Duncan Robinson? No, I like him, but that's why he's a good trade bait. He's going to do that on the next nigga team.
Starting point is 00:50:41 You feel how I feel about Buddy Hill? I love Alec Burks though Alec Burks is a quiet killer hey consummate professional been a killer for a long time too I really I really like his game
Starting point is 00:50:51 he murdered last postseason too but bro can get up out of Miami too cause you a good fan him and his family chillin bro leave him alone but you a good locker man

Starting point is 00:51:07 You sleep. Get him out of here. And who is this Nikola dude? Nikola Jokic. He ain't going nowhere. Nah, that's the fake Jokic. Nah, nah.
Starting point is 00:51:14 He organizations him and James Jokic. They ain't going nowhere, brother. He's going to be there, brother. Get him out of here. You crazy. Josh Christopher, you for sure is out of here.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Josh Christopher, you go somewhere else out of here. Josh Christopher, you go somewhere else. Allegation. Matter of fact, send my younger Josh Christopher, send him to Charlotte. No. Send him to Charlotte.
Starting point is 00:51:32 No, no, no. You want him out the league. Young, athletic guard. He's got back in the league. You trying to send him out the league. Young, athletic guard, bro. Go where you're tolerated, bro. Man, y'all crazy.

Scottie Barnes was killing yesterday. He was killing yesterday. A lot of people hated him for a while. Who? Getting that bag. Scottie Barnes?
Starting point is 00:52:34 She had a lot of smut about him. Man, mind your business, bro. I don't hate on nobody getting that bag. I just... Nah, people was criticizing him, though, for asking if he earned it or not. I think the funny thing about that is that people be like, is he a max player?
Starting point is 00:52:45 Well, depending upon what the team is. If we ain't paying nobody on this team, then yes, I am the max player. Yeah, in Toronto. Yeah.

All right, a couple of college football playoff games. We got to get in tune for y'all.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Texas took care of Arizona State in double OTS today, 39-31. Game was crazy. I thought it was going to be a belt-to-ass situation, but the Longhorns wanted to smoke that game. Regardless, they still came through with it. It's funny that we brought this up. We have a whole great podcast dropping today, but getting MVP of a game that you lost did that resonate with you
Starting point is 00:58:27 after that conversation? we talked about it on the podcast but I'll say it again played in the Anaheim Classic Mike looked it up I won MVP but they gave the award to James Harden that day he ended up getting like 40 almost 50 points against St. Mary's
Starting point is 00:58:43 when they had Patty Mills and somehow he got the MVP that night but on the fucking website 40, almost 50 points against St. Mary's when they had Patty Mills. And somehow he got the MVP that night. But on the fucking website, it's like Jeff Teague won MVP, but I didn't get my award. So people who run Anaheim Classic, send me my shit. Man, shout out to Camp Scatterbow for getting AVP. You killing when you get AVP and you lost, man. 143 yards, two TDs, 99 receiving yards,
Starting point is 00:59:06 42 pass yards, and a TD again. Man, he went crazy. Texas, man. Texas sold the game, really. Yeah. Shout out to the kicker. I know you somewhere.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Praising God. Praising God for sure. Missing two field goals. Missed two field goals, but Arizona State should've won the game because they had Texas, what, fourth and 13 in overtime.
Starting point is 00:59:26 And brought the noise for no reason. Brought the noise. Actually, it was a bluff, though, because they didn't even send them. You know what I mean? Like, you're going to do it. I'm not a football guy, so I ain't going to say it,
Starting point is 00:59:37 but fourth and 13, they didn't bring the house. They faked it. And the safety let them get behind them. Touchdown. We're going to overtime. Texas is the better team. So you know, they already were struggling to score.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Arizona State, it was a struggle for them to get points. A lot of stuff had to go right for them. A lot of calls. A lot of things. But what did happen though, I feel like it got cheated a little bit, is that head-on collision when that guy caught that pass. Yeah, that was crazy. Yeah, helmet to helmet. I was like, damn, that might have to be a call right there. And they didn't that pass. Yeah, that was crazy. Yeah, helmet to helmet. I was like, damn, that might have to be
Starting point is 01:00:05 a call right there and they didn't call it. Yeah, call it targeted. Yeah. But you know the rest would have got killed for calling it that situation too.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Even though you made what was right. They would have gotten murdered for calling that. They would have gotten murdered. So I respect what the refs did, but I honestly thought it was a helmet to helmet contact.
Starting point is 01:00:19 I was like, shit, that should be targeted. Yeah, targeted. Might have changed that game for sure. Ohio State built an ass situation yesterday. Scores way closer than what it was.
Starting point is 01:00:27 41-21, but they handled the shit out of Oregon, man. I told y'all, Ohio State going to win a chip. Y'all should have bet on it. Put it on draft keys. Only teams I like, Ohio State and the 49ers when it comes to football. Oh, dang. Get well soon, 49ers.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Shout out to Jeremiah Smith. He cold. Hey, one of the best pro prospects in wide receiver in a very long time. He should be able to Jeremiah Smith. He cold. Hey, one of the best pro prospects in wide receiver in a very long time. He should be able to leave after his
Starting point is 01:00:49 freshman year. That's crazy. That's how good he is. Come on, seven catches, 187, two TDs. You know what's crazy for Oregon's situation too?
Starting point is 01:00:57 Like, I kind of, I don't feel bad for them, but I feel bad for them. Like, you're never going to undefeated. You got to play these guys.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Again, that's the crazy part. You got to spend a block against this team, which is arguably the best team in college football. That's different and not fair, bro. Like, if I beat them, I shouldn't have to see them. But it is what it is. What you got to do three years in college.
Starting point is 01:01:14 Yeah. It's crazy that, like, Marvin Harrison Jr. leave at wide out. He's a top five pick. We think he was the best wide out in football last year. And you get this freshman, and it's like, you don't miss a beat. You know what I mean? He's that good,
Starting point is 01:01:30 though. Yeah, he's elite, bro. He's one of the most talented prospects we've seen in a very long time. He looks so much bigger than they DBs yesterday. I don't know how tall the Oregon DBs are. They look like little kids, though. I always feel bad for Oregon, because they always get in the college playoffs, you know what I'm saying? They be having the cold ass jerseys
Starting point is 01:01:46 and shit. They be having that shit on. Oh, they fresh as fuck. I'll go to Oregon if I play football though. If I played basketball, I would have thought about Oregon too.
Starting point is 01:01:54 I don't know if they be that fresh, but... No, no, they shit alright too. I mean, I don't know. But the football shit is different for sure. Yeah, they shit be crazy.
Starting point is 01:02:01 They have like a hundred thousand uniforms. For sure, man. Obviously, due to the tragedy that took place on New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the game for Notre Dame and Georgia got pushed to today. Who y'all got? Y'all take Georgia. I got the Dawgs, y'all know.
Starting point is 01:02:16 I don't support, yeah. I don't rock with Notre Dame. I think it'd be a decent game, though. Even though my little brother Mark going to Notre Dame. Lou, one of my best friends, he's from South Bend. That's all he talked about Notre Dame. So I just got to go against him anytime. I think the game will be close.
Starting point is 01:02:30 I think the money spread on that, I mean, the money line on that probably 17. I think it'll be within that. If you want to win some money tonight, put your money on Georgia. If you're going to win some money, I ain't going to lie, you should put your money on Notre Dame. Oh. But I want Georgia to win. I think Notre Dame going to win, but I want Georgia to win. If Rudy ain't subbing in tonight, it's going to get wicked. Look at't going to lie you should put your money on Notre Dame oh but I want Georgia to win I think Notre Dame going to win
Starting point is 01:02:45 but I want Georgia if Rudy ain't subbing in tonight I got to look at the eyes of that though check out DraftKings you know what I'm saying weigh your bets there
Starting point is 01:02:52 for sure verify buckets be him who started after a year off right I'm just I'm going to still
Starting point is 01:02:58 keep giving it to my youngin Ian Jackson from North Carolina three consecutive games with 20 plus you know what I mean he's stepping into the new year on demon time Jackson. Okay. From North Carolina. Three consecutive games with 20 plus. You know what I mean? He's stepping into the new year on demon time.
Starting point is 01:03:08 For sure. He's trying to get out of there. I see you, Ian. Yeah. He said he was going to do it. Go crazy, King. Finally got a shot to, you know what I mean, start. Coach letting him rock, so shout out to Ian. For sure, man. It is crazy. Like, you know, with some of these kids we see as talented, they come in these
Starting point is 01:03:24 programs, we expected them to start. Took them a little bit of time to get to it, but I think that's probably for the better because Ian, he ain't going to get that job up, man. It is crazy.
