Nah, yeah, I give him a couple days, for sure.
For sure, man.
A lot of action happened yesterday in the association, man.
The Knicks took care of the magic yesterday, 121-106.
Listen, we was talking about this team, you know what I'm saying? Finally get some continuity. It took care of the magic yesterday. 121-106. Listen, we was talking about this team,
you know what I'm saying,
finally get some continuity.
It took care of one of the hottest teams yesterday
in the league.
Cat had 23-15.
JB had 21-4.
Fran still killing his usual with 30.
How y'all feel about that game yesterday, man?
They got smacked yesterday.
I watched today.
It was beating their ass the whole game, though.
Killing them.
So it wasn't, no.
The score, the final score looks way closer
to what the game was.
Nah, that's a fact.
It was built to ass.
It was up by them to 40 at one point.
Almost, for sure.
Yeah, it was close.
I remember,
listen, I was just looking
through some of this stuff
and I seen Cat whip a pass
from the top of the key
to the corner of my camera
and spin around.
That was the weakest
and one pass.
Cat out of pocket.
That was the sickest pass
I ever seen.
Cat get a pass
because he cold.
He can do shit like that.
He made a regular pass
and then did a spin move
afterwards.
That's how
I was crying, bro.
That's how
Brian used to do it.
No look pass.
He used to look at you
and then throw it.
Hey,
Cash didn't look crazy,
no, bro.
He had to talk
with the king, too.
Did a ballerina spin.
I said,
man,
sub this nigga
out the game.
Michael Richards is like, all right. Cat having fun, man. Nah, for sure. did a ballerina spin I said man sub this nigga out the game Michael Bridges was like
alright
y'all having fun man
nah for sure
man listen
we talk about
this team needed a job
looks like they getting
it going right now
are they
are they a contender
in the east
at least
I mean yeah
if they get it going
okay
yeah they good
they a good team
they struggled
at the beginning of the year
Michael Bridges
kind of found his shot
a little bit.
OG was struggling.
He got back going last night.
It was, what, 0 for 15?
Two previous games from three or whatever.
Three previous games.
But they catch a stride yesterday making some shots.
And Jalen Brunson being good all year.
But they definitely got a nice groove going right now.
You can tell that they playing with a lot of energy.
And they starting to trust one another.
But that still leaves them as the second best team
in the East, probably. That's the crazy part
about it is you can be as good as you want
to be, but you still got to go deal with them boys up in
Boston for sure, man. I don't even, honestly,
yeah, they
might be too. Because I really like
Milwaukee. I do too.
Even though we discrediting the Cavs
right now, it's just something about the Cavs. I like the Cavs. I like Donovan Mitchell. I do too. Even though we discrediting the Cavs right now, it's just
something about the Cavs. I like the Cavs.
I like Donovan Mitchell. I like what
they got going on. For some
reason, I just trust
the Knicks a little more. I trust
they two dogs more than I
trust Cleveland's
two dogs. You know what's crazy?
We've seen this before a lot of times in the NBA.
We have teams have a crazy regular season,
but then when it gets to the playoffs
and you got to go model to model,
especially a seven-game series,
ain't no other teams you playing in between,
it can get wicked.
But listen, we talked about statistically,
is this Cat's best season so far?
For sure.
Man.
For sure.
He balling this year.
He went to New York.
We thought there was going to be a lot of pressure on him.
You know what I mean?
We like, damn, Cat, you know, he be having up and down moments, you know.
Sometimes he don't handle pressure that well, I guess you could say.
But he stepped up to the plate, 20 and 30, 25 and 13.
Elite numbers.
Low key.
Low key.
I know what he was going to say.
Low key.
I know what this nigga finna say.
I hear you.
Let's hear it
he needed to start
creeping in that conversation
bro
low
he bottom seven
but
he rising
he need to talk about
that MVP conversation
a little bit
like
you know what's crazy too
he's getting these numbers
while playing with other people
who get their numbers as well
cause Jalen Brunson
going to get his numbers
regardless
and he's kind of taking a backseat to an extent as far as what he's doing from a production standpoint.
Even though he's still killing to make sure everybody else eating.
They have a good flow of the game.
But, man, listen, he getting these numbers on that team, that's elite as well, man.
You got to respect that.
Thanks.
No, that was a good team win for them yesterday.
All of them was out there having fun.
Mikel was just pulling up like open gym out there.
So he looked comfortable shooting
the ball. That was a dope win for them
beating a good team like the Magic.
For sure. And listen, we've been saying this. They're
still doing this without their best player.
I know it's
the NBA Cup, but
they still qualified with this loss, which is
crazy. They knocked
Boston out of this. They're not supposed to be
in this room
at all as soon as paul keep calling my boy pablo as soon as paulo went down like even i thought it
was gonna be hard for them to shake after that so they've been holding the shit down they definitely
been playing well but i gotta ask y'all a question where do you rank brunson and cat now as a duo
where are they now? Because they both averaging
25 points a game.
Brunson, 7 assists.
Cat, 13 rebounds.
This duo,
you call A.E. and J.R.
Shaq and Kobe.
What did you call these two?
Shit.
Oh, that's a much better combo.
The Step Brothers.
What was them two
motherfuckers' names?
Wilford or who?
Which one's Brandon? Which one's Brandon?
Which one's Dale?
That's the big question.
Dale is Jalen Brunson.
For sure.
That was his trap.
He didn't even
write up in it.
Nah, but on some real shit,
that's a good question, bro.
They in the top five duos.
They in the top five duos.
I don't like them better
than Jalen Brown
and Jason Tatum. I don't like them better than Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum.
I don't like them better than Giannis and Dane.
What about Luka and Kyrie?
Don't like them better than them.
I do like them better than JR and Anthony Edwards for sure.
So they probably at the four or five for me.
I know this might be out-of-pocket statement, but today, this season,
is it better than LeBron and AD?
Nah. Nah? Nah.
Nah.
You know what's so crazy?
I feel like if the Lakers was in the East and they played the Knicks,
I feel like the Lakers would beat the Knicks in a series.
I ain't mad at that.
That ain't a crazy take at all.
The Lakers would be a top team in the East.
Yeah, I think they would beat the Knicks in a series.
If they was out East.
I don't like them better.
AD.
LeBron is not LeBron, of course, from three, four years ago.
But I don't know.
I just think he going to click.
If he get in the playoffs, I trust him.
I trust him and AD more than Jalen Bronson.
You like Bam and Jimmy more than you like Cat and JB?
Nah.
Because Cat is just way better than both of them.
Ooh, way better?
Cat's way better than Jimmy, brother, and Bam.
KD and Book.
No.
I'm sleep.
So where KD and Book rank?
That's their four. They go in on four. That makes
Jalen Breslin my vote for five.
Okay. For the shits of a
conversation, I'm going to go with Bam and Jimmy just because
I've seen them click in the playoffs
and get there. Obviously, this is a new situation.
They got a chance to show themselves yet, but I've seen them
produce in the playoffs. They didn't get the
chip, but I've seen them run through the Eastwood.
Nah, yeah. Nah. And then Bam, look,
Bam is a dog.
I ain't,
I'm not doing comparisons
like niggas are sad.
I just,
I just think Cat is just
a way better basketball player
than them.
That's just my take
on this shit.
Respect.
For sure.
Like they talked about
with the Magic still losing,
they still solidify a spot
in the end-season tournament,
knocking out the Celtics.
And a lot of people are like,
dang, we don't see the best team
in the league in this tournament,
but I think that's the best part about it.
Some of these teams that don't get the shot, I mean, I had a playoff success, get to go get their shit off
in a real basketball environment. It's not saying the regular season
ain't, but you know, them pressure situations hit different
for sure. That's how the Pacers got their
start last year.
They got in the end season tournament
and made a run, and it carried over
throughout the rest of the year.
Yeah, it did carry over this year.
I mean, y'all the 9th seed in carry over this year. Yeah, my minimum is a motherfucker.
That's yours.
Y'all the ninth seed
in the East right now.
Y'all playing at a hotline.
Y'all playing at a hotline.
We're trying to keep shit solid.
We're not sitting
off my morning
with this negativity.
I watched that game
last night with the Raptors.
Y'all didn't have to say that.
Y'all not at 13.
Y'all didn't get
definitely back and run for it.
That's what we own today.
Nah, respect'm just saying.
Respect.
You didn't even have to say that about me.
We are not bringing the pages up on any block of any show.
Definitely not this one, man.
Get with us.
That was wicked, man.
Good game for sure.
The Nuggets came back.
That's right.
Against the Warriors, 119-115.
Yeah.
Ended the game on the 10-0 run.
Championship pedigrees from both sides.
We're doing a yoke.
It's 38-10-6.
It's a joke watching him play basketball.
It really is, bro.
Like, when you, after the game is over and you look at his stat line,
you be like, man, what in the hell?
Like, it's a joke at this point, man.
It just seems, I ain't going to say it's too easy,
but it just seems so, he's so good to look effortless.
And it pisses everybody else off, and I love to see it.
Because they be trying their hardest to deal with him. He just
be like, move, excuse me. He just gets
up the court so slow, bro.
You have to really play at his pace, bro.
People never, it's crazy because they
play fast, but he's so slow.
Yeah.
People never gonna
say he's one of the greatest centers ever,
but they won't mention him.
They gonna say, I can't believe Aladjiwan,
Shaq, Will, all centers ever, but, like, they won't mention him. Like, they gonna say, I can't believe Alijah Juan, Shaq,
Will,
all these people,
but
he right there.
Like,
his numbers be just as
dominant as theirs.
Um, listen.
Besides Will.
Yeah, I was gonna say.
And also,
yeah, we gotta see the video.
We don't believe the 100 points yet.
Um, listen.
Look what he averaging.
That's crazy, bro.
30, 13, and 10.
Shaq, no offense, Shaq.
The most dominant center ever.
I've never seen those numbers.
Shaq is never averaging
double digits assists.
Never.
Never.
That's what I mean.
And Shaq,
we're not disrespecting it.
Like you said,
the most dominant player ever.
Yeah, the most dominant player.
For some of them old centers
that y'all be glorifying,
Jokic is better than a lot of
them.
Let's be real.
Yeah, we're going to say
Freaky Mike almost put us in a
rabbit hole.
This man put up the Boston
numbers of Shaq.
Shaq got the same numbers in
Boston.
That's crazy.
Shaq was doing my numbers in
Boston.
Freaky Mike pulling up
Boston Shaq.
That's a hell of a way to
hedge a man.
We talking about the most
dominant niggas ever. He pulling shots, Shaq. Hey, that's a hell of a way to hedge a man. We talking about the most dominant niggas ever.
He throwing shots, Shaq.
He was in his last...
Yeah, Shaq had to save
the numbers in Boston.
Damn.
Oh, that's crazy.
I just...
Shaq career,
23-10.
Go to his best year.
What was that?
While we point this out,
who was your favorite version
of Shaq? Orlando or LA? LA, because niggas were scared of Shaq. Oh this out, who was your favorite version of Shaq?
Orlando or LA?
LA, because niggas were scared of Shaq.
Oh, yeah, he was too.
He was crazy.
But I liked Shaq when he was in...
I feel like he could have played like Jokic
when he was in Orlando.
He was moving a lot better.
Get up the floor and run.
He was a freak.
I mean...
Oh, boy.
Jokic with that fucking Orlando team with all them shooters.
Jokic and Penny would have been crazy.
Jokic and Penny would have been crazy.
Jokic and Kobe.
With Robert Ory and all them niggas shooting appeal.
Rick Fox now.
Oh, you put Jokic on that Laker team, bro.
It's not fair, bro.
You might average them their 15, 16 assists a game, bro.
Oh, God.
D. Fish would have went back to the headband,
smoking with Yoke.
Yeah, the fact that D. Fish, like,
really didn't average assists like that
as a point guard really still pisses me off today.
Yeah, he ran a triangle, bro.
Like, I thought he was about to say so does.
No, he ran a triangle.
They ran those too.
That offense ain't really meant for a point guard
to get assists in the triangle.
I mean, I get it, bro.
It's just like, damn.
Shout out to Ron Harper.
When you're just an average person watching basketball
and just knowing this thing only average three assists,
and he is the starting point guard in the NBA.
These fish going to get at us for a day.
Fucking Terrell Brandon is on your average of 13 assists.
So his best year, Shaq MVP,
or he averaged 20.
And this would make the game a little different.
He averaged, well, he was on a run, boy.
Yeah, I was going to say,
he's been hoping for a long time.
29, 29.
Go back up.
Shaq, playoff statistics are retarded, bro.
Yeah, really dumb.
And that's another thing about D-Fish, too.
For as much as his stats,
he lackluster.
He got some crazy NBA moments.
29, 29, 26, 26,
28, 26, 29, 28,
27, 27, 21, 22.
Shaq went on a nice run.
Now go to Yoke run.
Yoke a lot younger.
Yeah, Yoke did a lot.
He just 29.
Shaq had a run.
And he got the nuggets of chip.
And that's no disrespect to Denver,
but he got the nuggets of chip.
And to make it different though, in the era,
they used to come down and throw Shaq the ball every time.
Granted, he did play with Kobe Bryant, too, so.
Yeah.
It could have been a little different.
Yeah.
But Yogi's run ain't too far off.
Yogi's on a six-year run.
Yeah.
A hell of a run.
A historic run.
Yeah, it ain't Shaq run. It ain't. But he on a six-year run. Yeah. A hell of a run. A historic run. Yeah, it ain't Shaq run.
It ain't.
But he on a six-year run.
But like you said,
it's a lot of people
that we glorify,
especially those older centers
that we talk a lot about.
They not fucking with Yoke at all.
Him averaging nine assists
for the last three years
is crazy.
But him averaging
in 2018, 2019,
30,
10,
7.
He might be the greatest
passing big man ever.
I used to give it to like
motherfuckers like
Vladi Divac and them,
but I don't know.
Even Big Sabonis?
Yeah, it might be
Yoke is, bro.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I'm just...
And Vladi, you know what I'm saying?
Definitely could pass that rock,
but I'm going Yoke for sure.
He averaged 10 assists right now.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
I ain't never seen
nothing like that.
They got him.
They got Will Chamberlain
the best passing center.
I'm asleep. Them numbers are crazy, though. He did. They got Will Chamberlain, the best passing center. I'm asleep.
No numbers.
He did.
Why is Patrick Ewell the best passing center?
He did play for the Harlem Globetrotters.
Yeah.
That's, I don't know.
Bill Wall being up there is crazy.
Hakeem Olajuwon.
I forgot my father, Hakeem.
Nah, Dream is tough.
You taking Yogi or Dream?
Dream.
Dream.
I'm taking Yoke, man. I ain't mad at that. I'm out of pocket Dream. I'm taking Yolk, man.
I ain't mad at that.
I'm out of pocket, but I'm taking Yolk, bro.
I can't do that, bro.
I'm looking at the other people on that list,
and I'm like, yeah, they don't want no problems with Yolk.
I'm taking Yolk.
Hakeem killed in a big man error.

that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning
so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel
seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there are so many stories out there,
and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.

Wilk Chamberlain ain't real.
He ain't a real person.
Nah, he not.
He averaged 23 rebounds
and hit a thousand,
20,000 women.
That's not real, bro.
Yeah, that's not real. He. That's not even a hint.
He wouldn't even rebound

I don't even know.
I don't even think
I shook 20,000 people
in my life.
Damn.
Bro, show the video, bro.
We need to video that game, bro.
All the allegations?
Yeah, bro.
Nah, but I'm not going
to disrespect that big man
era like DJ.
The 90s was serious, bro. They were, bro. And if you put... David Robinson, special, bro. Elite, bro. Nah, but I'm not going to disrespect that big man era like DJ. The 90s was serious, bro.
They were, bro.
And if you put-
David Robinson, special, bro.
Elite, bro.
70 piece.
Like, Sabonis Daddy, special, bro.
I remember Sabonis Elite.
Rasheed Wallace, special, bro.
Sean Kemp, special, bro.
The only thing I'm saying the difference with the big man era, they used to get the ball.
Like, all the players was running
to get the big man the ball.
You know what I'm saying?
No.
He playing with APJ.
They play inside out.
Yeah.
They play inside out.
And now he's outside.
And for him to be the best player
in the league
as a big man in a guard era,
that's kind of,
that's different.
I respect that.
Shout out to Yoke, man.
Steph came back yesterday,
24 and 11. Warriors have dropped five in a row. Is it time to be concerned, B.H.? I respect that. Shout out to Yoke, man. Steph came back yesterday, 24 and 11.
Warriors have dropped five in a row.
Is it time to be concerned, B.H.?
I know you wasn't too sold on them,
but they want a little stinker right now.
What's up, T-Zone?
For you.
Them y'all boys.
Them y'all niggas.
Them y'all friends.
Don't be trying to have me slandered.
You hear what he said?
He ain't like that.
Y'all was chopping up for two hours.
As a team,
I don't fuck with the Warriors.
Straight fine my nigga forever.
Shout out to Lil Trace, though.
You a part of it.
You know I made the team.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shout out to Trace,
and you traded my nigga
out of there, so.
They didn't have a choice.
Nah, speak on y'all Warriors.
Y'all be on me when they win
and they, you know what I mean
I'm hating
speak on them
what they doing
are you having a rough patch
Buddy Hill
gotta come back to life
good luck
he'll be back
by all-star break for sure
listen man
ups and downs
we didn't have too many
expectations for this team
everybody was playing
out of their minds
earlier in the season
I would say with Steve Kerr
saying he had to load the team
but I mean
it is in flows
five guys losing streak
is crazy
but it's still enough for the season for them to recover bro and it was without without steps some of those losses too so I ain't gonna put earlier this season, I would say, with Steve Kersey. He had a loaded team, but, I mean, it is in flows. Five-game losing streak is crazy,
but it's still enough for the season
for them to recover, bro.
And they went out
without Steph
some of those losses, too.
So, I ain't gonna put
too much into it,
but you know how it goes
with them.
They got a championship.
They can figure it out.
Another comeback yesterday.
The Mavs came back down
for 15 yesterday.
And their mom was out
last night, too.
Yeah.
And they smoked
that game yesterday, too.
But another comeback yesterday.
Mavs came back
121-116
against the Grizzlies
man
Luka 37-12
that was a tough comeback
I was watching that game
and for them to come back
like they did
that run they went on
in the last
three minutes
come on bro
shout out to Spencer Denwood
ever since that day
we talked about him
stepping up
he been hooping
since Luka was out
nah he been hooping
yeah
he didn't earn his stripes back
cause LA had him
messed up last year yeah they was trying to make him seem like he was sad yeahoping. Yeah. Yeah, he didn't earn his stripes back because L.A. had him messed up last year.
Yeah, they was trying
to make him seem like
he was sad.
Yeah, trying to make him
seem like he was done for.
And that's all it is, man.
People just got to
stay out of L.A., bro.
For real, bro.
I said it last year
before he picked
between the Cavs.
He was picking between
the Mavs and L.A.
I was like, bro,
go to the Mavs.
You had success there.
I ain't say it to him,
but that's what I was thinking.
And for him to go back
to the Mavs this year
and now he's figuring it out
finding his footing again
I'm hyped for him
for sure man
job went crazy yesterday
31-4
doesn't bane 19-3 as well
Mavs 9 to last 10
they catching them stride man
that's a team that we liked
last year for sure
yeah
getting P.J. back from injury
Spencer Dixon
playing at a high level
Luka coming back
they about to start
catching their stride for sure.
And PJ was solid yesterday too.
18, 8, and 7.
Solid numbers for sure.
Listen, man.
We talked about that team
being the very dangerous team.
They can get back to it.
That's not a team
I want to deal with.
Having to beat Kyrie and Luka
in the series is very, very tough.
Yeah, I told you.
I think they can
make some noise.
I wouldn't be surprised
if they won it.
See, the thing about
their team,
they got so many
capable players
that can have moments.
Klay really,
they fell off a little bit,
but he can have a moment.
Yeah.
Spencer Didwood
has been having moments.
We know Luka can do
and we know
what Kyle can do.
But P.J. Washington
played great last year
and now he's starting
to get into that form.
You know,
we all love Derek Lively,
so they got a chance.
You right.
For them to have one nine out of the ten
and Klay ain't doing a motherfucker thing.
And also, Luka wasn't there.
He just came back the last two games.
He was gone for the majority of them games, too.
Yeah.
Kyrie held the ship down.
It's crazy how Luka and just Yokoz,
you get to move like that in the NBA.
Told you, bro.
And you kind of don't. When you see players like, I say, It's crazy how Luka and just Yokoz, you get to move like that in the NBA. I told you, bro.
And you kind of don't.
When you see players like, I say African-American players and niggas slow,
you're like, bro, you're too slow.
You can't make it in the league.
Yeah, oh, God.
Yeah.
The scouts see you, be like, bro, we can't have no fat point guard, bro.
This nigga killing in college, I get it. But, bro, you're going to be sad in the league.
He gets to that comment.
They get to see how lazy and trash he is.
Yeah, bro.
Being out of shape killers, nigga, in the league is scary, bro.
You damn near got to be foreign to be out of shape, bro.
And they like the best in the league.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Smoke cigarettes.
I know they smoke cigarettes.
That's what I'm saying.
Like how they treat it.
They gave him a shot.
What's the big dude? Oh, my God, man. He was on the Grizzlies last year. Y'all know I'm bad with names. That's what I'm saying. Like how they treated. They gave him a shot. What's the big dude?
Oh, my God, man.
He was on the Grizzlies last year.
Y'all know I'm bad with names.
Lofton?
Lofton.
Yeah.
It just don't seem like he fit in the league.
He killed in college.
But he can hoop, though.
That's the crazy part.
Nah, he really can hoop.
He can, but I'm saying his shot is hard in the league.
You know what I'm saying?
He got different struggles than Luka and Jokic.
That's a great point because they do be like, man, he's too out of shape.
He got to lose some weight.
And you're not even tall enough either.
So you fat and short.
But you got 30 and 50 in the G League.
What you call him, stubby?
Yeah, bro.
You feel like me.
So your journey's a little bit.
That is your NBA comparison.
Kenny Lawson.
Kenny Lawson.
Under the ring, bro.
The last out of shape.
I thought you was here, King.
The last out of shape nigga to be a killer in the NBA, bro.
And I love Zach, but it was Zach Randolph.
Him and Marc Gasol, bro.
For real.
Z-Bo was the weird.
Yeah.
We talk about that way.
He was built like a dope boy.
Nah, facts. Nah facts Nah real shit bro
He got skinny legs
Big upper body
Yeah
Physical but he was a killer though
Straight killer
Elite feats too
Yeah bro
Double double machine
Full work on it
Unpeggable bro
We talking about that
O.A. Celtics team
I was like boy
Paul Pierce at that time
Was about a burger away boy
But he was still killing it
Yeah niggas was that
Motherfucking Hezzy Niggas falling for it. Yeah, niggas was that motherfucking hezy.
Niggas falling for it, getting 24-25
a night. So that's just, you know, that's
the last of the African-American breed.
Get it out the mud, man.
All right, shoot it. It's not show. Is there a difference
between basketball shape and being in regular
shape? Because people tend to
discredit that. I'm like, yeah, you might see some
of these athletes. They might not be as muscle-defined, but they're
in basketball shape. Basketball shape is way different from being in shape. I'm like, yeah, you might see some of these athletes. They might not be as muscle defined, but they're in basketball shape. No, basketball shape
way different from being in shape.
Like, to run like this all day,
nonstop,
cutting back and forth,
it's a different type of shape.
Like, even being in, like, game shape
is different than being
in basketball shape.
Like, I can be in shape
to go hoop at the Planet Fitness,
to go play a game,
fighting over picking rolls,
running back in transition,
that's different.
Yeah.
Even like going running miles,
like distance running.
I can go run two miles right now.
I might not have a crazy time,
but to go play a game,
I'll be way more tired.
Way more tired.
Yeah, that make hell of a sense.
How many NBA minutes
you think you can play right now?
In a game and play hard
I mean I'd go out
there and fake it
if you just say
if your knees worked
like
okay
everything was
you perfect
and I had to play
like I'm playing
you playing for the
Pacers today
I said I can fake it
on the Pacers
they said
I respect Lord
they said no
he gotta go to another
team
I don't like his
energy this morning
we gotta send you
to Charlotte.
No, but, like, play in a playoff game.
20 minutes.
In a playoff game.
Where it matter.
Yeah, can you play 20 minutes?
Oh, 20 minutes in the playoffs is crazy.
I could play probably—
I can give you the most—
I can give you 15 minutes of, like, playing hard.
Because guarding is the toughest thing.
I play point guard.
You got to play—
You're going to have to switch on the guards.
Yeah.
They're going to keep switching, keep switching, keep switching. You're going to end up on the best player. I play point guard. You're going to have to switch on the guards. They're going to keep switching, keep switching, keep switching.
You're going to end up on the best player.
You got to guard.
I can probably play 15 minutes.
That's solid.
That's solid.
Knowing that you ain't hooped in on that level in a long time,
that's still solid.
I ain't going to lie.
I remember when I was in Milwaukee and I didn't play for like three weeks
and they subbed me in a playoff game, I was tired in 35 seconds.
I guard Tyler Hero off two dribble handoffs
and was cooked.
I was fighting hard as hell.
He came off another one.
I was done.
What did you think that was though?
It's game shape because people,
you know, when you practice,
you're playing,
you practice,
you feel like you're going hard.
But when you got to react to somebody else
that's going hard,
like I've been playing, I'm in game shape,
and they reacting a little faster.
It's different, bro.
Hey, NBA shit a different beast.
I was cooked, nigga. I swear
to God, I played 38 seconds,
bro. I subbed out. Like, they like, good job,
champion.
Good work, good work. I like,
baby, miss.
What's that bitch like?
Hit me, dog. Come on, Drew.
Go get back in there now.
And what's crazy is they know all those things. It's still going to be mad if you don't play well because it's just
like, hey, this is what we pay you for. I don't care
if you don't play three weeks. You know what's so crazy about this
nigga? This is why I think he's hilarious.
Let that be one of his players.
They wouldn't leave.
He's going'd be like,
what the fuck is wrong with you?
Because we work hard in practice.
That's the whole point.
I was not doing anything.
I was not in game shape at all.
Oh, man, that's crazy.
That's hilarious, man.
Suns secured the Spurs
yesterday, 104-93,
but unfortunately,
they lost KD in the second half
to an ankle injury.
Book went crazy yesterday. He held it down 29-9. Listen, man, we they lost KD in the second half to an ankle injury. Book went crazy yesterday.
He held it down 29-9.
Listen, man,
we talk about KD's
illustrious career.
How many more championships
do you think he would have had
if it wasn't for injury?
Definitely one more.
I think they would have
beat Toronto.
For sure.
I'll just give you one.
They'd have three-peat.
They might have won
the year that Milwaukee,
when we won the championship,
if injuries didn't
plague the whole team.
I'm just being honest.
I ain't trying to take, you know, Milwaukee already hate me and shit.
I'll just be joking.
But if they didn't get hurt, they were really,
they was controlling that series.
Yeah, for sure.
You talk about that multiple times.
That's why I asked that question.
I know, obviously, I think we figured they would have took care of the Raptors.
But that year was kind of up for grabs for sure.
Man.
All right, listen.
We've seen what happens when they don't have KD.
Your son, is that going to go through the stretch again?
Or have they learned something?
Well, I mean, injury's been kicking our ass this year.
So, I don't really know about the ups and downs.
We didn't look too good the first stretch when he was out.
So, I don't know, man.
The book, they just going to step it up, turn it into a killer.
I think they got enough
to get some wins
I mean
having Ty Jones
now out too
is probably going to
help them a little bit
and I don't
is Bradley Bill playing?
that's up in the air
so
they should be
I don't know
but you know
it's give or take too
as well
what's Brad's numbers?
I'm sorry you scroll
17
I mean that's
third option 17 third option 17 is solid especially in up. 17. I mean, that's... Third option, 17.
Third option, 17 is solid,
especially in and out of injury.
Yeah.
For sure.
That's crazy, man.
Give well soon to the Suns.
Man, this NBA Cup has been crazy.
Now we have gotten through
all the pool plays,
solidified now
in the East,
your one-fourth matchup.
Bucks versus Magic.
Who y'all got in that series?
Damn, Bucks.
Not series, but matchup.
Excuse me.
Damn.
Damn near.
I don't know.
That's a good matchup.
That's going to be a hell of a series.
That's a little back and forth for sure, man.
Because the Magic play well.
We know they're missing their best player,
but that ain't stopped them at all.
They only lost like two games in the last 14.
I think the Bucs can kind of lose stride, though.
Most definitely.
I don't know.
I take the Bucs.
Knicks and Hawks.
You know who.
We know what it is, boy.
We here for it.
3C. Bet the house on the New York Knicks. Let's go, Hawks. You know who, we know what it is, what we here for. Three C.
Bet the house on the New York Knicks.
Let's go, Hawks.
Bet the crib, DJ.
Granny house,
big mama house,
all that.
Bet the house on the Knicks.
Jay, we go crazy.
Hey, you already know
what Trey is.
Trey a Knicks killer.
Take a bow.
Ooh.
Yeah.
What he say,
take your ass home.
He did say that.
Yeah.
We might win the NBA Cup.
Damn, DJ. And I like the energy because you know how they feel about did say that. Yeah. We might win the NBA Cup. Damn, DJ.
And I like the energy
because you know how
they feel about Trey Young.
Yeah.
We might win
the NBA Cup.
Yeah.
This would be a good time
for him to have
a vintage performance
against the whole people.
That'd be fire.
Crazy.
The NBA Cup
would be great for Trey.
Take us to the chip.
You see what it did
for Tyrese Halliburton.
It took him up through there.
He started becoming
super famous.
on me.
That's true, Jeff.
You way better than Tyrese.
We need to show the people. I love Tyrese
Young, but he not Trey Young.
He not Trey Young. That's a good
take, though, bro. He not Trey Young. It's Trey Young
time. That turned Tyrese the fuck
up. Tyrese, don't worry about it, bro.
We keeping receipts.
But he not Trey Young.
I don't care on what level we talking.
Trey Young in college, high school, NBA.
He ain't Trey Young.
Trey Young is one of the most disrespected superstars in the NBA, for sure.
Trey Young is called.
I mean, I got to respect the take.
Because high school, Trey Young was a fucking issue.
Bro, every Trey Young.
Oklahoma, Trey Young.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
I'm just saying high school.
I don't know if Tyrese was on that level.
He wasn't.
I mean, he was good,
but I mean, Trey Young was a top.
He was definitely the best point guard in the nation.
Yeah.
But we just need to get our respect back.
Okay.
Because people had Tyrese Halliburton
better than Trey Young.
And it's no disrespect to Tyrese.
You already doing way more than I did,
but I'm a Hawks alum,
and they've been disrespecting my dog.
Well, one thing they both got in common, they both put Belta ass in the Knicks.
So, you know what I'm saying?
You know what we did in game seven last year, but it didn't matter.
OKC versus the Mavs.
Where y'all going?
Can't let that girl go, boy.
Nah.
That's all I got.
That's all I got right now.
It's real dark.
Real dark in here.
OKC versus the Mavs.
It's a matchup right here.
Fire the Mavs.
This is the Western Conference Finals, right?
That's the best.
I like that.
That's the Western Conference Finals right here.
That's going to be a hell of a matchup.
I don't even know which way I could pick in that one
because I'm like, damn, Young Boys is ready too,
but they got seasoned killers.
I think the Mavs might take it because, okay, see,
they ain't at full strength without shit,
but they still a good-ass team.
I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
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.

when a multibillion-dollar company

Don't take no more backseats, bro.
Go crazy.
Like, I know everybody think we probably be hating on you or talking shit, but this is just what we want to see from you no more back seats bro go crazy like I know everybody
think we probably be
hating on you
or talking shit
but this is just
what we want to see
from you P
nah go crazy
you still one of them
you just got to show that
yeah and this is
what we expected
and what's crazy about it
is I like the
balance of the conversation
when we talk about
Paul George
a lot of people
came to the conference
like y'all be hating
other people
like y'all show him
too much love
talking about
he first ballot
don't get it fucked up
y'all can feel how
y'all want to
Paul George
wanted to code us
regardless of how it pan out.
But this is how he need to play
for them Sixers to be,
to make a run
and try to get in the playing
at this point.
All right.
For sure, man.
Y'all beat the fucking Hornets
by six points
and LaMelo didn't play.
You got to kill, bro.
You got to kill.
Yeah.
True.
That's not even a good team
that y'all beat.
You see you got to score 30 for y'all beat. You gotta,
you see you gotta score 30 for y'all to get over the hump,
so.
Listen,
we talk about
if you don't score 100 points,
you sad.
The Wizards scored 87 points
yesterday.
Nigga,
we know they sad.
But it's just funny.
The points just get lower and lower.
They got Smackdown straight
118-87 by the Cavs.
I'm not even going over
nobody's stats. They just built an ass situation for the guys. The fact that y'all got that-87 by the Cavs. I'm not even going over nobody's stats.
They just built an ass situation.
The fact that y'all got that shit blank is crazy.
Yeah, I refuse to put anything up.
Nobody's stats matter yesterday.
When you get beat like that, bro, just redo it.
Bro, what did Donovan Mitchell have yesterday?
Everybody in the Cavs was in double digits, basically.
It was all spread out between 14, 16, and 18.
Damn.
Everybody got a piece of that yesterday.
That's funny.
That really left that alone.
Them niggas just picked Cavs, Wizards.
Yeah, I refuse to put any of that up there.
There was no reason to recap any of this.
Belt-to-ass situation.
Yeah, that's funny.
Send Jordan Poole and Kuz in that, man.
Speaking of Belt-to-ass,
the Raptors got the Pacers together.
That's not on there right now,
but since you're skipping ahead.
Hey, niggas, it's Childish.
Hey, man.
Hey.
Shout out to whoever sent me this on Twitter.
They sent this to Split Kanye face.
They was like, with the happy Kanye's, they want the Pacers to win.
And they said, when the Pacers mad, angry Kanye, niggas said, fuck everybody, trade
everybody.
Hey, I'm there, bro.
If it ain't 0-43 and Ben, they can fly, bro.
I don't care.
Fire Rick.
I don't care.
Niggas got to go, bro.
We said RJ Barrett was going to kill y'all, too.
I told you, bro.
I told you.
Take the over, bro.
Scottie Barnes had 35-9 last night, bro.
I told y'all RJ was going to kill y'all.
Bro, he on that, bro.
You see what he did?
It's the last time we played, bro.
He on that. 31. Are y'all even paying? That's the last time we played, bro. He on that.
Are y'all even paying attention to the score over here?
Look at the score.
1-22-11.
I didn't even fix it because it could have just been that.
That's how I felt.
We got dubbed yesterday.
It was 1-16.
We got dubbed and had a fake comeback yesterday.
That game was terrible to watch, man.
That was definitely the 2B game of the day.
I had us fucked up into y'all too, man.
Get well soon, Pacers.
We deserve better.
Tyrese killed yesterday.
He had 30 bob.
But listen, man.
This is a dark season.
That's why I keep holding on to last year.
Because it is looking like we are boo-boo water.
And if we don't make no trades soon, it's going to get spooky.
Well, y'all going to trade.
Trade for what?
I don't care at this point.
If it ain't zero being a 43, they can fly. I don't care and try for what uh i don't care at this point if it ain't
zero being a 43 they can fly i don't care oh man i don't care we gotta go first though i think
that's the first thing that has to happen for real for real it's a disconnect between the players and
the coaching staff i know all jokes and staff but that's some real shit yeah they gotta figure that
out asaply uh the bucks beat the pistons yesterday 128 to 10 Bucks. Boy, we back. 28-8 for Giannis at seven.
Something slight.
Dame 27-5.
K. Huntingham 23-6.
Damn.
K.
You be hooping,
but Dame and them,
they really starting to figure it out.
They starting to gel.
Listen, you trying to get some money,
all you got to do is make sure you go over,
over for Giannis and Dame.
They will cover parlayers for you.
They done bought me a couple pair of shoes last couple weeks,
so I got love for the Bucks right now
because they cover for me
every time I need them to.
Facts, facts.
Yeah, that's just crazy
looking at that Raptors and Pacers game.
That's out of pocket.
Thunder beat the Jazz 133-106.
Yeah, Jazz, man.
Get Cooper.
They tanking for Cooper.
Most definitely.
Or Ace Bailey
or your boy Young Harper.
Anybody got to help that team.
Yeah.
I think they might.
You know who they're going to
Jazz going to draft? Who? They're going to draft that team. I think they might. You know who they're going to draft?
They're going to draft that boy from BYU.
Man.
I'm telling you, they got a wing over there.
He called.
He is nice, but if they get one, they can't do that. Oh, no, no, no.
They're going to get Cooper if it's one.
They get two, three.
I think they might not take Ace.
They're going to take Buddy.
Buddy, all right, though.
And his jersey is going to go platinum.
Man, what? He already in Utah? though. And his jersey gonna go platinum. Man, what?
He already in Utah?
Yeah.
He already tapped in for sure.

Shots of Juju Watkins. We ain't talked about her enough on here.
Smooth 40 ball yesterday. Nine threes.
Doing what she does best.
Can't wait to get to the association for sure.
How old is she?
She's a sophomore.
She's the face of the W already.
Damn.
She got a...
What you got to play?
Four years in college?
Yeah.
I was hoping at some point
that that...
I don't know if it's
going to happen or not,
but that rule should be
changed for somebody like her.
Like her, Paige Baker.
They could have been
in the association.
Are you sure she's
just a sophomore?
It ain't no reason
for her to run to the W.
Damn.
We make all that NIL money.
Yeah, the W need her
more than she need the W.
I'm not mad.
Well said, bro.
I seen the
Kaylin Clark breakdown.
The Kaylin Clark breakdown,
what she was getting for speaking
and what she made as a rookie
was crazy.
Oh, she was doing
speaking engagement?
Yeah, 30 minutes,
100 bands. Respect.
She made less than
80K last year as a rookie, number one pick.
You know it's correct. I'll wait till this summer
to have it. Damn, Hillary Clinton don't even get that.
This nigga lying.
Can Hillary shoot a step back?
I ain't never seen it.
I ain't never seen Hillary off the dribble.
She did step back, Art.
Just set the screen, all right. Queen.
Just at the screen, for sure.
Oh, man.
Say Hillary Clinton said,
this is crazy.
Unless you get your work done.
Oh, this is crazy.
She hung it down.
Shout out to Monica.
Oh, wow.
All right, man.
I'm going to show us a little of your yoke, man.
I know we normalized by it,
but 38-10-6, bro.
You're going crazy.
We talked about enough
on this show
but that's elite bro
that has to be acknowledged
as well
I ain't gonna lie
my verified book
is going to Scotty Barnes
you know
he got a max deal
some people question
if he should have got it
blah blah blah
whatever
35 on the Pacers
way to hoop
and 9 assists on the Pacers
way to hoop
and 6 rebounds
listen if you want to get a max deal
just play the Pacers every game
you will get enough highlight content
enough for them to pay you.
And I still got to show love to my boy, R.J. Barrett.
I told y'all he was going to kill.
And he's on a revenge tour.
And he's been hooping all year.
I'm glad he was able to be the,
what they call him, the Maple Jordan.
Yeah.
Yeah, go crazy, bro.
That's crazy.
Didn't they call Andrew Wiggins at two at one point?
Did they just pass that around up there in Canada?
Just pass the nigga's name, bro. That's nasty, around up here in Canada. Just passed the niggas name.
That's nasty, bro.
Remixing the nicknames is crazy, bro.
That is wild.
Who's better?
Before we get off this topic,
who's better as a,
when they first came to?
They called him Maple Mamba.
Oh, that's crazy.
I made that up.
Who was better?
Who was better going into
high school?
Andrew Wiggins.
Andrew Wiggins.
Straight up.
I forget how good Wigg was.
That's not even close for me.
Straight up.
Listen, man.
Who needs some encouragement?
Be here and get well soon.
Who needs some help today, my boy?
Probably Freaky Wimby, man.
He said Freaky Wimby.
It's a good cross by, you know,
another player with your play type
at that height.
It's crazy, bro.
He did hit me with a crazy.
What we at with it?
The Hedgesy cross. It's crazy, bro. He did hit me with a crazy Hesi. Where we at with it? The Hesi cross is crazy.
KD is just
my lord, bro.
Yeah, KD is so special.
And that's KD, too,
so you can't even be mad at it.
KD is so special.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
But it's never the same.
We're the same.
The Hesi before the cross
was filthy, though.
That made him jump up first.
Let me see it again, Brody.
Hey.
Wow.
Look at that.
The left hand
in the cross.
That's the thing that sucks
about Wimby
when he's defending though.
It's hard for him
to shift his feet.
That's size 26.
That's what he can
that's one of the
kinks in his game, bro.
But is it
hard for him to guard
out there on the wing
like that?
Is it fair to ask
your 7'5 well 7'3 center to be guarding on the wing like that. Is it fair to ask your 7'5",
well, 7'3", center to be guarding on the wing though?
I mean, I'm not being funny, but...
No, but I'm just saying it's hard for him to do.
People try to find little nicks in his game all the time.
And it don't matter, but I'm saying that shows right there.
That nigga can't move like that.
That's just a good move.
Everybody get hit with something.
And that's KD too.
He done murdered a lot of people, but that's crazy.
With him having to have that type of wingspan, bro, just contest, bro.
You're not about to be shifting out here.
Bro, just contest, bro.
I know you'll catch him at the rim, bro.
That gave me flashbacks when he did that to Darrell Arthur.
Yeah, well, so, that was he, bro.
Go type it in, man.
KD was back in OKC.
Darrell Arthur, bro.
Kansas legend.
That's crazy. He was so caught on high school, too. Kansas legend. That's crazy.
He was so caught on high school, too.
For sure.
That's my class.
I'll turn you up.
Who your give-up soon, too?
I'm going to have to get my give-up soon.
Just to hope.
Mine's still James Winston.
This is random.
But, like, I'll keep replaying that prayer in my head.
It's not even on the script.
It's off script right now, y'all.
That prayer is just living rent-free in my head right now.
I reposted it.
I'm going to repost it again today.
Hey, we're making so far.
He said, just deliver me from pick six.
Boy, that's so crazy.
It's living rent-free in my head, man.
Imagine going to the altar of prayer
and my child get fixed
from LZ
Lord
I don't want
one of those
big sixes

that little rent free
in my head
but Jalen Brunson
man crossing up
my boy man

when he crossed up
KCP on the baseline
hit him with that move
and then the rest of the game
he kind of had him in a blender yeah man that is tough right there he crossed up KCP on the baseline, hit him with that move, and then the rest of the game, he kind of had him in a blender.
Yeah, man.
That is tough right there, man, looking at KCP going through that, man.

Hi, I'm Sarah Spain, host of Good Game with Sarah Spain, and the co-author of the new book,
Runs in the Family, an incredible true story of football, fatherhood, and belonging,
written with and about Las Vegas Raiders running backs coach, Dylan McCullough.
It's the story of a football coach and father of four who sees his life forever changed by the unsealing of his adoption records.
And it's got a twist.
You won't believe based on the viral ESPN story I did a few years ago.
This book will blow your mind and bring you to tears by runs in the family,
wherever books are sold.
This is an I heart podcast.
