What's the best, like,
breakfast you can start
your day off with?
I focus Chick-fil-A,
but I usually,
I'm on the fast food tip.
It's a sausage, egg, McMuffin with a hash brown inside the sandwich.
Is that custom?
I don't eat pork, so.
I used to love to, when I was young, before I stopped eating pork,
I used to like the sausage croissant from Burger King.
That's a slapper.
Yeah, I was going to say, back in the days, that bacon egg McGriddle
used to do numbers for me.
When the McGriddle first came out,
that was gun smoke for sure.
But listen, man.
How the McGriddle
had the syrup in it, right?
Yeah,
the little mini pancakes.
The perky sandwich.
What's the place
I be getting
chicken and waffles from?
Osco's.
Nah,
in that.
Chicken Scratch? Nah, nah, nah. Yeah, Chicken Scratch. I like their joints. Osco's nah in that chicken scratch

I like they joints
shout out to
Six and Stretch
I need you to know
send a sponsor
some breakfast right here
520 Door Dash
is paid for more than enough
but listen man
some crazy basketball
last night
a lot of built to add
situations
we gonna start with
first things first
LeBron got smacked
yesterday
they got 40 ball
yesterday in Miami
you know what I'm saying
I know we had some opinions about who was going to win that game,
but, damn, we didn't expect this at all.
I told y'all, man.
I'm just going to say it.
I told y'all that it was Miami that boys went out.
You said LeBron had the party.
I mean, he still had 30, but it didn't matter.
Yeah, I mean, you know, LeBron just trying to get his stats for the show now.
Oh, damn.
Your favorite white boy, man.
Mr. Consistency down in Miami.
31-5, Tyler Hero. Seven white boy, man. Mr. Consistency down in Miami. 31-5. Tyler
Hero. 7-3's, you know what I mean?
Third quarter. Big day
for my guy, Tyler Hero. We looking like
we trying to make the All-Star team on the low.
It's dead. It's low.
It's very. You know what I mean?
Might get there. He on a max
deal, though, so who care?
He don't care, but I'm saying I think, you know,
if it's a random that they throw on the All-Star, man, give it to my favorite white boy. I mean, we'll talk care, but I'm saying I think if it's a random that they throw in
the All-Star,
man,
give it to my favorite
white boy.
I mean,
we'll talk about it
later in the show,
but if it comes down
to Tyler Hero
and Jalen Johnson.
Oh, Jalen Johnson.
Okay, okay.
No issues.
Listen, man,
the Lakers,
obviously,
they got some things
they need to address.
Let's start here.
Who can we blame right now?
I know we like to play
the blame game.
It ain't always right.
Players. The players right now? See, you might to play the blame game. It ain't always right. Players.
The players right now?
See, you might have a different opinion.
Yeah, probably the players.
I mean, y'all play.
Coaching.
Honestly, coaches can only do so much.
You can try to put people in the best position.
You can try to sub.
Think who's going to give you a spark or whatever.
But you can only do so much.
The players got to play the game.
Like, I can put you in a formation and run a play,
but you got to be smart enough and have a high enough IQ
where I could make adjustments on the fly in that play.
So coaches can only do so much.
They can only put you in position.
They can't play for you.
Listen, I only brought that up because, you know,
the coaching situation, you look at last year,
I know D-Ham got a lot of flack, but them numbers is the math.
Look, starting to math.
And, you know, I'll be giving JJ some graces.
He's a first-year head coach.
And we know that ain't the prettiest situation to walk into.
But, hey, he was talking all that talk.
Look what they look like right now, man.
LeBron's the greatest player of all time to me.
Him and Jordan, however you want to do it, go back and forth.
I ain't getting into that.
I don't care.
But nobody's going to be able
to coach the Lakers
until he leaves.
Let's be honest.
Like,
you got to,
he's such a polarizing
person and player
that you got to
adjust for him.
You got to do
whatever your philosophy,
it has to surround Brian.
And y'all might have
different philosophies.
And
that's okay.
But while Brian's there,
you're going to do it Brian way.
And J.J. Redick might have
a different philosophy from Brian.
So he's not going to really
be able to show what he can do
as a coach until Brian is gone.
That's interesting.
But you wouldn't be the coach
without Brian.
I was getting ready to say
that's the crazy part about it
is he probably wouldn't have
a job without Brian's blessing.
Now you look at that team
and you say,
I see J.J. was talking about, all right, well,
I'm going to go through the players.
We feel a little disconnected right now.
I'm going to go through and see what's up with everybody.
I think the player in him, that's a smart idea to say,
all right, I'm not blaming nobody.
Let me go tap in with everybody, check the temperature,
and see how to adjust from there.
I thought that was dope to hear from him,
like adapt to that situation.
But also at the same time, listen, man,
expectations are expectations.
Whether it was Frank Vogel, Darvin Ham,
you coach for the Lakers, bro. They don't
care. You better get some results in.
I think he just understands
players better than Frank
and Darvin Ham, though. LeBron
just trusts him more. So I don't
think he'll get the same criticism.
Fuck him being white or whatever. I just
don't think he'll get that same criticism as Darvin
Ham, bro. It's literally
clips of Darvinah Ham saying,
all right, guys, get in there and kill them niggas.
Fuck it.
Like, come on, bro.
Hit the clipboard and be upside down.
I think D. Ham was, like, knowing D. Ham, he a cool dude,
but I think he probably was trying to be their friend
and be cool with them, you know, because I know him.
So he going, what's up, boy?
I mean, he was a player too.
Yeah.
But I think J.J.,
he got that Duke shit in him.
Like,
he can do both,
but he more of an asshole
than he is cool.
Coach K shit, bro.
Yeah.
The lineage.
Yeah.
And listen, man,
AD started this season,
we were talking about
MVP, DPOY conversations.
We got to walk those back right now?
I'm not doing it, bro.
You still locked in for AD?
This is why just our focal NBA players, like, I don't care about who win or lose,
but, bro, you in the NBA, bro.
You bound to have some bad games.
You human at the end of the day.
All it's going to take for him is to have another streak,
and we going to get all about that.
I don't want to strip him
from that MVP
and defensive player
of the year
because you still like
this ain't like a
Jeremy Lin
no disrespect to Jeremy Lin
but AD is a for real
proven player in the NBA
for sure
I don't want to put
too much on it
it was interesting to see
some of the discourse
around it
they were just like
you know the start of the season
off AD was killing
and they were just like
those numbers
that's what Jokic and Yonah
is doing on a consistent basis.
Facts.
That's all facts.
But we were just happy to see him playing.
Happy to see him thrive, man.
Especially after last year playing most of the season and not being injury prone as he had a history of.
Definitely want to see Anthony Davis be the player we know he'd be.
And they criticized him for being soft.
So to see him come out with that killer instinct, bro, I think he's still got it in him.
He all right. And to your point,
like,
people were saying
that they,
those are Giannis
and Jokic numbers
all the time.
But shit,
they went MVPs.
So if he played
at an MVP level,
we're happy.
He's playing,
like,
at their level,
MVP level.
That's the trade-off
out of the perception
in all those conversations
always be like,
wait,
just to prove your point
rather than just
looking at reality.
Yeah,
he's getting
yogurt in them numbers now
well
they win MVP
what the hell
that's a crass
and hard people
to compare me to
yeah like
but like
the best niggas in the world
bro
yeah like
I'm doing great
they win the MVPs
they go back and forth
with the MVPs
cause what was his number
like 26
you gotta pull it up again
but it was like
26, 27, and 13
bro I'm having a hell of a I'm was like 26, 27, and 13. Bro,
I'm having a hell of a season.
I'm killing.
Sorry,
27,
11,
and three.
Yeah,
I'm having a great season.
I'm killing.
Yeah,
you're having a wonderful season.
I'm fucking hooping,
So let me have a couple,
you know what I mean,
down games.
Bro,
I'm human,
bro.
I ain't fucking up the churches.
Not at all.
And we lost by 41.
You can't blame that on me.
Yeah,
that's crazy.
I think that's out of pocket,
though.
40 balls.
To be in the NBA and lose by that much. That is kind of crazy, though. That's that's crazy. I think that's out of pocket, though. 40 balls. To be in the NBA
and lose by that much.
That is kind of crazy, though.
That's a lot of points to lose by.
40.
We're competitors, bro.
I mean, T,
they ain't even hit your rule.
Like you said,
you don't score 100.
You cheeks.
Man, you cheeks.
That's crazy.
Get well soon, man.
Get well soon to the Lakers.
Listen,
you had a tough time yesterday, man.
You had to pick
between your Bucks and your Hawks.
I told you what I was going to do. Dang, man. Listen, you had a tough time yesterday, man. You had to pick between your Bucs and your Hawks. I told you what I was going to do.
Dang, man. I told y'all
the Hawks is on a pacer run
right now. Just say on a run. Don't put us
in that. No, I'm saying they having a last year
pacer moment. Barbie!
I didn't know I was going to need a drink this
morning. Right on time being.
Yeah, just for you, King. I appreciate
it, man. We're going through a lot right now. Listen, man.
Jeff still got to give his spill.
It's Thursday, but it's our Friday. Shout out to Barbie
working the AM shift. What we got?
We have mimosas.
I'm scared of that.
Excuse? Man, we have a show.
I ain't touching
that shit. It's not.
BN roofing
himself.
Barbie, we said, we better
stop fucking with you.
Ew.
I got Barbie working in the morning too.
360 deals all around this place.
What is this, a black shirt?
Okay.
This wasn't at all this. You went crazy.
What is this?
I might be with the fruit.
I might be in the room.
I ain't doing this with y'all this morning, man.
I appreciate you, Barbie.
Thank you, Barbie.
Shout out to the Pomosas with the T right here.
Listen, man.
I took care of the books yesterday.
119-104.
Jalen Johnson looking like an all-star. 23-13 for a young 17-7.
Giannis will do what he does, 32-11.
But like you said, man, your Hawks is on the run for real right now.
They looking good.
They playing at a high level right now.
I mean, they on that, like I said, that pace of the run,
not even trying to be funny.
They just catching a good stride at the right time.
And Jalen Johnson is leading the pack.
Trae Young's playing good. He's not shooting the ball
well at all in this run.
But Jalen Johnson
is playing at an
all-star level.
Hopefully, man,
we get to that
fourth, fifth seed,
he can make the all-star team.
Nah, for sure.
If they're not playing,
but if they are
an all-way playoff team,
you got to look to get him
that consideration.
He got to be an all-star.
Nah, man, he playing great.
But how do you think
Trae Young would feel?
I mean, obviously,
we know he's a good teammate,
but how do you think he would feel if we get snubbed so many years,
all-star, when he's had crazier numbers,
and then they have a season like they have this year,
and Jalen Johnson get it?
I mean, it's just position.
I mean, Trey Young is still having a phenomenal year, 20-12.
Elite.
Is that 20-12 or 26?
Yeah.
2012 is still elite numbers.
But Jalen Johnson, man, he's been carrying that team.
When Trey was out, he's just been having a great year.
It's like you can't hate.
Straight up, straight up.
And as a point guard, there's just been other guards playing better in the East right now.
For sure.
What, you going to take Jalen Brunson out?
No.
You going to take Dame Lillard?
No.
I'll take LaMelo.
LaMelo?
No.
So it's just a little tight squeeze for him right at the point guard position.
I guess you would say.
For sure, man.
Listen, man, you talked about it a little bit last year,
but it's all evident this year.
Quinn Snyder got that team turned around, looking a little bit different, man.
They playing different.
They playing good.
You can see that they gelling.
I think getting DeJounte out of there, and I like DeJounte Murray,
so it's no slight on him.
But having just a point guard
now he got wings
to work with
instead of a two point guard
trying to figure out
how to balance
playing them together
and playing them
opposite of each other
I think it's just
an easier team
to coach for him.
For sure,
that makes a lot of sense.
Like you said,
it'd take away a lot of
not that said there was tension
but when you got two players
that caliber
it's always going to be
a little bit of friction
so it's probably an easier
job coaching right now too.
Yeah, I mean
somebody want the ball you're trying to get the ball on both their hands it's just a lot of decision's always going to be a little bit of friction. So it's probably an easy job coaching right now, too. Yeah, I mean, somebody want the ball,
you're trying to get the ball
in both their hands.
It's just a lot of decision
making has had to be made.
Now, he know his team.
Quinn is a good coach, though.
Quinn did all right
in Utah with Shell
and them, too.
Yeah, great coach.
I did great with them, for sure.
Yeah.
Listen, Giannis, man,
32-11-6,
is that MVP-type numbers here?
Always.
Yeah, that shit like easy.
As much as I hate on Giannis,
because I don't think you can teach how he hoop to a kid,
but he killed, bro.
It's undeniable, bro.
It's undeniable.
He makes a way out of no way for sure.
I fuck with Giannis because he play hard.
And it just comes out to crazy numbers, bro.
His numbers are always crazy.
His skill set is probably one of the worst.
All right, James Harden.
No, I'm saying, though, as hard as he plays, James is right, bro.
You can't stop him, though.
Niggas ain't hating, bro, but, bro, you don't want to.
Come on, bro.
If you building a nigga on 2K, bro, your jump shot is Giannis.
You did cry.
I don't care what you say.
Giannis builds on 2K elite, though.
I know he probably a killer, but you know, you make your jumper, bro.
If you make your shit, Giannis, bro, you dig it, bro.
But, hey, quiet as cap, he's shooting one of the highest percentages
from the mid-range this year.
You talked about that.
You're going to say he's sneaking in there in the mid-range.
He's making shots, bro.
He might not be shooting a three like that, but his mid-range,
he didn't figure it out.
He didn't add a new piece to his game.
It's just even scarier, bro.
Ronnie, please let us know.
Is there a TA build on 2K?
Oh, Lord.
I ain't never seen that pop up.
We need a Thanasis build on 2K.
Please let me know if there's one out there for sure.
You know what Ronnie need to do?
We talk about 2K so much.
You need to just put us for players come and talk to us on the podcast.
Come on.
For sure.
You know what I mean?
We'd be the 520.
They come sit down with us.
I'm sure they probably
going to have Podcast P on there.
Yeah.
Somehow,
because he was on 2K.
We get thrown on 2K.
That'd be nuts.
Yeah, people come sit down
at 520
and chop it up with us.
That'd be lit.
Mike, you might have to
send that email out to Ron.
I like that. That'd be hard that we're going to be in a park
we're going to be in a wreck
I mean they got a
you know on the
story mode
turn us on
they come talk to us
it'd be hard if you could just
pull up to the 520 podcast
and your creative player
go talk to
so is 2K like
uh
yeah
they got the strip club
and stuff on 2K
nah they don't got that
on 2K
nah
you know how much BC boys be using in there I didn't know stuff on 2K? No, they don't got that on 2K. Nah. You know how much
VC boys be using in there?
I didn't know how
lit 2K was.
It's E for everyone.
Oh, okay.
That's a family game.
Oh, that's what's
on the front.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's on the front
of Grand Theft Auto?
R?
Oh, M.
Oh, M.
Mature.
Mature.
Mature.
Respect.
You know what's crazy?
Imagine spending all your
VC at the strip a little 2K.
Little kids would be
messing their mom's
different car up.
I just,
I mean,
I don't know.
What's that great stuff
out on your car
that just move
when you got the prostitute?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's when the car
just move up and down.
Until the game,
rappers got better
and they got more wicked.
Whoa.
That game was crazy.
That's crazy, man.
I mean, listen. Where you going, sweet daddy? That's what they used to say. You know, game was crazy. That's crazy, man. I mean, listen.
Where you going, sweet daddy?
That's what they used to say.
You know, pick them up, the car just move up and down.
Hey, while we're here, what's the best Grand Theft Auto?
The last one.
I don't know.
Nah, I like, I ain't gonna lie, I like Vice City.
I love Vice City, too.
I don't get the same address over Vice City.
I love Vice City.
But I might be showing my age, though.
Whatever was on PS2, I don't know.
Vice City.
Oh, okay.
You might have three.
Three in Vice City, for sure.
But listen, man, even though seven-game win streak got snapped yesterday at Bucks,
you think they figured it out?
I think they good.
They're going to be all right.
They fine.
They good, bro.
I told you, they going to be a problem.
When them playoffs roll around and everybody healthy,
that's going to be a problem for Boston.
So, we talk about this, Chris Middleton.
We'll go through a couple people, you know what I'm saying,
questionable about their return to the team.
Chris Middleton expected to be back real soon, man.
What's up?
They going to do it?
If they get him back, that's going to set them on a path
to have that score that they looking for.
I just got to see how long it take them to get back in game shape
and see how he's playing
when he get back.
You know,
coming off of surgeries,
you know,
people be a little hesitant
and stuff like that.
So I'm excited to see him get back,
but I want to see
how he's going to play though.
Who is he like on the Celtics?
Like if you had to cancel
somebody else,
Chris Middleton.
Cancel each other out.
I mean,
the playoffs,
Chris Middleton is just as good
as Jason Tatum,
Jalen Brown. Yeah. He performs in the playoffs. I mean, the playoffs, Chris Middleton is just as good as Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown.
Yeah.
He performs in the playoffs.
Regular season,
obviously those two guys
are probably better.
But in a seven-game series,
Chris Middleton
can be the best player
on the floor
at any given game.
And say what you want to
about the Pacers,
but I saw Chris Middleton
didn't beat us last year.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If he didn't get hurt, bro,
even when he was hurt,
I saw what he did.
He's capable. And remember, obviously he was hurt I saw what he did he's capable
and remember
obviously he was there
in the trip runs
a lot of fourth quarters
Chris Middleton
was holding shit down
when we played Brooklyn
it was Chris Middleton
when we played Phoenix
it was Chris Middleton
besides that 50 point game
Giannis had
Chris carried us
okay
yeah that's a dangerous person
I don't want to see in the postseason
either way
Zion
expect to be re-invited
in a couple weeks, man.
With his injury history, they came out and said they still want to build around Zion.
Y'all believe that's cap or y'all just think the Pelicans still holding on to the Zion dream?
Y'all better keep ego anywhere it's over.
I just not.
I like Zion.
I just don't ever think he's going to be healthy.
Damn.
His body type don't say healthy.
No shade or nothing, but he's too heavy at that size.
And the way he play,
it's not going to happen.
I love when people just simply go to situations
and be like,
when players are bigger,
they need to reconfirm.
Just lose weight.
It's probably just not that simple.
It ain't that simple.
It ain't that simple, bro.
He's an athletic player.
He's not a shooter.
He's a driver, athlete, and don't weigh that much.
And have knee injuries, leg injury, hamstring injury,
and your game is based off athleticism.
I don't see it, man.
Trust me.
I was an athletic player.
That shit about to come to an end.
Do you think he could play below the rim at all behand?
Do you think he could adapt his game?
He's such an explosive player.
I've never seen him
play under the rim like that.
Of course, I've seen the nigga
shoot a layup
in the mid-range jumper.
He got that in his arsenal.
But for him
to go strictly to that,
I don't know if he'd be
comfortable with that.
I don't think he got that
because he can't shoot.
To play below the rim,
you got to have a jumper. That's a fact. And he got that because he can't shoot. Like, to play below the rim, you got to have a jumper.
That's a fact.
And he,
that ain't his.
To put him solely
as a pull-up,
y'all damn near
turning Zion Williamson
into Sam Perkins.
He will.
That's exactly who he would be
if he learned how to shoot
and not move.
Big smooth number 14.
But the thing is,
big smooth.
Yeah, big smooth.

He's 6'5".
Damn.
Zion like 6'5". He damn near Barkley". Damn. Zion like 6'5".
He damn near Barkley.
I didn't know Zion was that little.
Yeah.
Yeah, Zion ain't.
They list him at 6'8",
but Zion's definitely not 6'8".
6'6", 6'7",
being gracious.
Ah, damn.
He don't know why he's Barkley.
No wonder why Barkley
be on his top so much
trying to help him.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I still laugh at when he was
the point guard for the Pelicans.
Stay out of the pocket, bro.
Yeah, but
I don't know.
If he get in shape, he's back to that damn 24, 25.
He kills when you're out there.
I got to say, when he on the court, he's an all-star for sure.
He got to get well soon.
For sure.

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.

That's about eight games.
Shit, I'd probably lose all of them.
Damn.
I think if they got Brad and... Brad got a kill, bro. Brad and Book, they'd be all right of them. Damn. I think if they got Brad and, uh,
Brad got a kill,
bro.
Brad and Book,
they'd be all right.
We can't,
while KD's out,
Brad can't average
16 points a game.
Mm-mm.
You're going to have
to be you and John Wall
in Washington,
like,
25 a night apiece,
you know,
random 40-point games.
You can't have no
16-point night
with KD out. They played last night,
didn't they?
We'll go through the recap.
I don't know what
freaking Mike's on right now.
For sure.
I asked y'all a question.
Obviously,
you with the experience
and you from a fan standpoint.
When you have a star player
that's injury prone,
do you feel a ways?
Do you want to keep them
because maybe it'd be a fan favorite or do you at a ways? Like, do you want to keep them because,
you know, maybe it'd be a fan favorite
or do you at some point say,
I have to move on
to more reliable,
durable players?
Should depend on what
the rest of my team
looking like.
Okay.
I'm a hustler
at the end of the day.
So,
if I know he gonna keep
the fans in his hands.
Yeah,
I'm a business man.
I told you,
I don't give a fuck
who win or lose.
How we gonna keep
this chicken rolling in?
I'm Jerry Jones
I'm just trying
I'm just trying
to get the money bro
if I'm an owner of a team
I'm just trying
to get the money
now it's okay
to kill baby
when I talk about
Jerry Jones
feeling these scenes
they can tell us
how sad the fucking
cowboys are
that's crazy
now we care about
the tennis
that's what I'll do but if I'm a GM and my job required me to win telling us how sad the fucking Cowboys are. That's crazy. Now we care about tennis. Oh, man.
That's what I'll do.
But if I'm a GM
and my job required me to win,
I'm about to start looking
in a different direction
because I know my job
is on the line eventually.
So I'm going to start
trying to figure out
how can I get the best
for an injury-prone player.
Like, I got to get rid of him.
And I was seeing something yesterday.
It was like, man,
New Orleans is basically
not the city to die,
but they got the worst luck in the league.
Every star player that goes to New Orleans, they have injury problems.
AD was there.
Hurt.
CP was there.
100%.
Zion.
His cousins.
Hurt.
Tyson Chandler, too.
Everybody that go to New Orleans, when they get there, they get hurt.
They leave.
They start having better careers and stuff.
Eric Gordon, hurt.
Leave, sixth man of the year.
Motherfucker fool, bro.
What you think it is?
Shit, my cousins down there,
they here to kill you, not heal you.
That gumbo got boys in DNP.
That's tough.
Shout out to the French Quarter, man.
Everybody that go there get hurt, man.
It's crazy.
We love New Orleans, man.
Can't wait to go pot down there. A couple of other guys, man. T-Wheels, three wins straight. Took care of the Cl Quarter, man. Everybody that go there get hurt, man. It's crazy. We love New Orleans, man. Can't wait to go pot down there.
A couple of other games, man.
T-Wheels, three wins straight.
Took care of the Clippers
yesterday, 108-80.
Belt to ass.
Yeah, man.
It's different.
I told y'all.
Jewish Render came out
hot in the first quarter
with 16.
Yeah, give us time, man.
Give us time.
We winning and scoring 16, bro.
We okay.
I think what Ant said
in the media
kind of sparked their team
a little bit. They probably had a good
conversation on the plane or wherever they was at.
And now they rolling, though.
He talks to them real dusty.
I'm sure that conversation was real interesting.
They ain't get leaked out.
That's funny. Celtics took care
of the Pistons yesterday, 1-30, 1-20.
Not a bad game for y'all Pistons,
boy. Hey, man. Close losses for sure, but man, JB was killing yesterday. 1-30, 1-20. Not a bad game for y'all Pistons, boy.
Hey, man.
Close losses for sure,
but man,
JB was killing yesterday.
Like, I know we're going to talk about it later
in the show,
but he had one possession
where he dribbled
through his leg
six times in a row,
hit a spin move,
and hit a bucket, bro.
Like, he really be hooping
for real.
He do be hooping.
He do.
But Boris Ingers is
coming back.
Come on, cheating.
A light 26-9.
Peyton Pritchard,
a light dub and four.
He's six, man, in a year for sure.
See, Detroit just don't have niggas that can score 26.
Tobias had 27 yesterday.
No, I love that for Tobias, but...
No, he get them averages.
I'm just saying, the Celtics literally have eight to nine players that can score 20.
It's wicked over there for, You know what I mean? Detroit.
So for them to only lose by 10
to them,
I fuck with it.
Hey,
K. Cunningham was hoopy yesterday.
Almost had a trippy dub.
27-14 to nine, man.
K, man,
come on the show.
He might,
he might be your number one guy.
I'm just keeping it in the beam, man.
He rock with you.
Niggas be hooping, man.
You definitely cold,
but he always vouch for K. Cunningham. Come on, man. You definitely cold, but he always vouched
for K. Cunningham.
Come on, bro.
That's elite numbers.
That's great numbers.
23-7-10.
That's elite numbers.
That's where he at.
Yeah, his numbers are crazy.
I ain't gonna lie.
Shout out to K. Cunningham
and people was questioning him
for a while.
Being the number one pick
and, you know,
had some up and down years,
but this year, man.
Nah, he proving himself.
Like you said, though,
I mean, even though
the record ain't as great, they look like a totally
different team this year, for sure.
Tobias 27, nothing afterwards.
I love that for you, Nassi.
Keep cooking. No other
attributes, just 27.
Niggas ain't good. Love that.
Keep going.
No matter after that,
your contract is for buckets only. You don't get
paid for it since the rebounds my boy respect

Mookie and Atlanta.

If y'all had both been Pacers.
He'd have lived with you.
Nah, yeah, we wouldn't.
We wouldn't have his
own spot in the game.
He probably missed the game.
He had to live with Big Bro.
That'd be you
and Jordan Clarkson,
of course.
Nah, we would have been
worse.
We would have been worse
than him.
We'll do this again.
Oh, man.
The lineage for sure.
That shit was good.
I don't know why

but the Pacers lost again yesterday.

Thank God it started.

My boy is tired.
Man.
Boy.
That's not in our story.
Way to split the trap.
What the fuck?
Damn, he dunked on him like a little kid.
And he looked at him.
Yeah.
You deserve to look at him like that.
It's okay.
I would have got a tech on that.
What, if you were Derek White?
Or you was Kade?
Nah, Kade.
I would have went crazy.
But he dunked on him like a little kid.
After yesterday, if you was Derek White, you pushing Kade right there?
Nah.
I got you.
Don't worry about it.
He said me.
Me?
I would have been like, fuck you looking at, hoe-ass nigga.
Oh, Lord.
That's what I would have said.
Oh, man.
Derek White is a good guy, though, but I would have snapped right there.
Derek White locking shit up next time.
But he wouldn't even got that dunk off on me.
Oh, okay.
Ooh, no, no, no.
You would have grabbed him?
Grabbed his arm.
Yeah, I already know.
Straight up.
Pure demon.

But that's Jalen Johnson, man.
Jalen Johnson.
That's Jalen Johnson, man.
You know, man, my favorite Hulk. Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson points for him that's Jalen Johnson man you know man my favorite Hulk
Jalen Johnson
the youngest in charge
that highlight was nasty
how old is Jalen Johnson
like 22?
yeah
and we talked about
a little bit
like his whole situation
him going to Duke
not being there long
they wrote him off
tried to say a lot of
negative things about him
I mean cause he took
a really different path
normal
look at this
straight through the middle
shots of freaking Mike
getting the audio
I mean the video back up.
I said it way too soon because it is gone.
Hey!
Two hands.
Bro, he's so athletic, bro.
But everybody kind of wrote him off because his shot was a little funky coming out of Duke.
Yeah.
He went into Duke highly recruited.
Yeah, for sure.
And for him to leave Duke with Coach K still being there the way he did.
Yeah. People really wrote him off saying saying he was a questionable quitter,
the kind of person he was.
They all questioned him.
But to see the kind of player he's become and what kind of teammate he is,
I only hear good things about him.
For sure.
And that's the crazy part about it is, like you said,
you get a kid in a situation and he feels like it just wasn't for him.
You get in a ruthless fan base like the Dukies.
They go crazy for theirs.
But at the end of the day, you got to make business decisions for yourself.
I don't understand why they get so mad at prep players who take alternate routes.
Like, yeah, I went here.
It didn't work out.
I had to go about my way.
You look at the Darius Basie situation, getting an internship and then going to the league.
Hey, man, this is business for a lot of different people.
Y'all can't get mad because they don't want to play for your team, bro.
Yeah, don't get mad, but I want some real shit, bro.
A lot of times that shit don't work out yeah that he a rare case no for sure yeah yeah
so i understand like both sides like i don't like don't bash him but and i don't know like that shit
might not work out it's you might not yeah and i don't know what happened at duke with them like
i never really heard the story story that, why he left or whatever.
Or I haven't looked into it.
But usually that shit
don't work out like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He just happened to be
super talented.
For sure.
Because like you said,
in the normal world
in that situation,
he's probably a lottery pick.
Yeah.
Like 17, 18,
something like that.
Wherever he fell to.
But we were happy
to get him.
For sure.
And listen,
I'm sure they're both happy.
He got paid
and they got him on a crazy deal for sure. For sure. And listen, I'm sure they're both happy he got paid and they got him
on a crazy deal for sure.
Yeah.
For sure.
Be here.
Listen, man.
0 for 3 this week, man.
You got one more chance
to make it right
with the people, man.
The holidays are approaching,
brother.
What you got for them?
Yeah, so today
I threw a college team
in there that
for some reason
Purdue was the underdog
against Penn State.
So I'm taking Purdue
for the win.
That's plus 108.
Luka to get 35 on the Wizards for sure.
Sham got the shit out of Cal Kuzma.
Donovan Mitchell will score 25 points.
Carl Anthony Towns going to get a light 25.
R.J. Barrett, he can get 20.
Bradley Beal, give us 20 tonight, not 17.
De'Aaron Fox to score 25 against John Moran and the Grizzlies.
$500 wins you a grand total of $66,569.
I think that one can hit.
Or you can take a smaller bet at $100 and win $13,000.
I might take that $100.
Okay.
I like that one.
I like what we're cooking up here.
Now, the $500, you know what I'm saying?
I know you're trying to mess up some homes, but you know what I'm saying?
The holidays are approaching.
You get your diet bet for $100. Yeah, I'm saying? I know you're trying to mess up some homes, but you know what I'm saying? The holidays are approaching.
Get you a diet bet for 100.
Yeah, I'm here to kill you, not heal you.
The crown is yours.
That 100, I probably can do that.
I like that one.
Yeah.
For sure, man. That's going to sponsor our trip to Washington Heights, man.
Let's make sure it goes through, fellas.
