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,
Starting point is 00:03:28 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

Starting point is 00:03:53 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
Starting point is 00:04:00 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.
Starting point is 00:04:09 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.
Starting point is 00:04:24 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
Starting point is 00:04:39 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,
Starting point is 00:04:48 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.
Starting point is 00:04:56 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
Starting point is 00:05:03 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.
Starting point is 00:05:13 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
Starting point is 00:05:30 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.
Starting point is 00:05:50 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.
Starting point is 00:06:06 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
Starting point is 00:06:15 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.
Starting point is 00:06:24 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
Starting point is 00:06:34 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.
Starting point is 00:06:42 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.
Starting point is 00:06:53 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
Starting point is 00:07:05 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
Starting point is 00:07:22 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
Starting point is 00:07:40 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,
Starting point is 00:07:53 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,
Starting point is 00:08:02 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.
Starting point is 00:08:18 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
Starting point is 00:08:28 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
Starting point is 00:08:38 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
Starting point is 00:08:43 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.
Starting point is 00:08:57 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
Starting point is 00:09:09 all the time. But shit, they went MVPs. So if he played at an MVP level, we're happy. He's playing, like,
Starting point is 00:09:16 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
Starting point is 00:09:22 rather than just looking at reality. Yeah, he's getting yogurt in them numbers now well they win MVP what the hell
Starting point is 00:09:30 that's a crass and hard people to compare me to yeah like but like the best niggas in the world bro yeah like
Starting point is 00:09:36 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
Starting point is 00:09:42 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.
Starting point is 00:09:49 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,
Starting point is 00:09:54 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.
Starting point is 00:10:00 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.
Starting point is 00:10:07 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.
Starting point is 00:10:15 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.
Starting point is 00:10:24 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.
Starting point is 00:10:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:59 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 360 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.
Starting point is 00:11:36 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.
Starting point is 00:11:52 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
Starting point is 00:12:05 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.
Starting point is 00:12:14 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.
Starting point is 00:12:22 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?
Starting point is 00:12:32 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.
Starting point is 00:12:49 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.
Starting point is 00:13:02 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.
Starting point is 00:13:13 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
Starting point is 00:13:26 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
Starting point is 00:13:34 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
Starting point is 00:13:40 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
Starting point is 00:13:47 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.
Starting point is 00:13:56 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.
Starting point is 00:14:04 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.
Starting point is 00:14:22 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.
Starting point is 00:14:40 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.
Starting point is 00:14:56 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?
Starting point is 00:15:12 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.
Starting point is 00:15:26 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,
Starting point is 00:15:33 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
Starting point is 00:15:43 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
Starting point is 00:15:52 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
Starting point is 00:16:01 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.
Starting point is 00:16:09 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?
Starting point is 00:16:16 R? Oh, M. Oh, M. Mature. Mature. Mature. Respect. You know what's crazy?
Starting point is 00:16:23 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.
Starting point is 00:16:32 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.
Starting point is 00:16:38 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?
Starting point is 00:16:46 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.
Starting point is 00:17:01 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,
Starting point is 00:17:14 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.
Starting point is 00:17:26 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.
Starting point is 00:17:42 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.
Starting point is 00:17:50 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.
Starting point is 00:18:00 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,
Starting point is 00:18:09 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
Starting point is 00:18:17 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
Starting point is 00:18:25 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
Starting point is 00:18:31 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
Starting point is 00:18:40 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.
Starting point is 00:18:55 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
Starting point is 00:19:13 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.
Starting point is 00:19:23 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.
Starting point is 00:19:41 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.
Starting point is 00:19:54 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,

Starting point is 00:25:40 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
Starting point is 00:25:48 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.

Starting point is 00:26:29 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.
Starting point is 00:26:38 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.
Starting point is 00:26:55 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.

Starting point is 00:43:33 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
Starting point is 00:43:40 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.
Starting point is 00:43:47 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.
Starting point is 00:44:04 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.
Starting point is 00:44:23 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.
Starting point is 00:44:37 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.
Starting point is 00:45:07 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,
Starting point is 00:45:15 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
Starting point is 00:45:21 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.

Starting point is 00:45:57 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.
Starting point is 00:46:19 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?
