Fellas, good morning, how y'all doing? Man, quit calling me Jeffrey, man. I can't call you a government-in-work man, my fault. Just call me Teague, bro.

My apologies, I'm with Teague. I can't say Nacho on this platform. No, no. We ain't in that type of vibe right now, but I'm Teague, bro. Respect. Can't call you whatever you want to be called, man. First season, first to kick off the show, Ravens. Belt to A last night.

Lamar Jackson went absolutely insane. Looking like he's on another MVP candidate type run. He had the same amount of touchdowns as incompletions yesterday. They handled business last night against the Buccaneers. Listen, man, 17 for 22, 281, and five TDs. Nah, it could have been six, but they called one back. You know what I mean? Because of the whole penalty.

But he went crazy yesterday for sure. Listen, I've never understood why he's got some of the flack that he's gotten, especially as spectacular as he's played since he's been in the nfl you think he can go ahead and get that three p for mvp uh yeah but mvps they need a championship man i think he get all that smut off his name if you get a chip and this year man the door is wide open i mean obviously kansas city is playing well they're winning, but the quarterback, Mahomes, is not playing great. But they're finding ways to win Lamar Jackson right now. He got his foot on the gas for sure. Most definitely.

Listen, five wins in a row. Derrick Henry did his thing as well. We'll speak about that man later in the show. The other game that took place last night, you had the Chargers and the Cardinals. Ugly game. Cardinals got the victory on a late field golf, 17-15. I am not the biggest fan of the doubleheaders on a Monday night. Listen,

we all got to get up and go to work in the morning, even though we all appreciate more sports. That game definitely was a stepchild game yesterday, for sure. For sure. They shouldn't have did that, bro. I was confused when they said it was starting at 9. I was like, damn, we got a whole primetime game on right now

How y'all just Going to do them Like this It's crazy It's not like It's a Well I mean It's an NFL network

But you know Sometimes When it's NBA They'll put your NBA TV In a heartbeat No facts As a Hawks player

I stayed on NBA TV No love For sure What's What's the Indianapolis channel For the Pacers Well now it's

Valley Sports Unfortunately Okay I couldn't remember The name of it Back in the day We used to have to watch Like how Chicago What's the Indianapolis channel for the Pacers? Well, now it's Valley Sports, unfortunately. Oh, okay. I couldn't remember the name of it back in the day. We used to have to watch, like, how Chicago could only see the Bulls. Oh, yeah. WGN. WGN, for sure.

We was low-key on UPN. Get well soon, Pacers. That's crazy. Listen, happy basketball day for all the believers. NBA officially kicks off tonight. Yes, we have been waiting on this. It's been a wonderful offseason. Crazy moves going on.

We had the Olympics. But right before the season starts, you know what I'm saying, that rookie extension payday time. A lot of people got paid yesterday, man. Shout out to the young legends being more millionaires in the situation. We got to start off Jalen Green. Started a historic deal. He's the first one to ever get a two-plus-one for a three-digit contract.

My man signed for three years with a PO for 106 child support just went up shout out to him shout out to him what you doing with three years 106 well are you putting me in jail to agree

absolutely okay well me and Dre gonna start hosting parties in Houston get some of that back end money take care of some of them payments I got ahead of me Absolutely. Okay. Well, me and Dre are going to start hosting parties in Houston. Get some of that back-end money. Take care of some of the payments. I got ahead of me with these babies. You bring the hitters experience to Houston. We're going to start the tour off in Houston.

And every away city is up. Nah, he deserved that, though. Nah, he's a killer, bro. He's been playing great in the preseason. He's a real-life killer. Three years, 106. So, that means he'll be back in free agency soon. Yes, sir.

That was a smart play. Yeah. I've seen a lot of people talk about that. You know what I'm saying? We always talk about getting that guarantee. We'll talk about contracts a little bit more. But him having a player option after two years, he'll still obviously be in the prime of his career. He'll be at the beginning.

Yeah. He's like 22. Yeah, he's a youngster. So, he's going to get a super payday on the way. Things work out the prime of his career. Nah, he be at the beginning. Yeah. He's like 22. Yeah, he a youngster. So he's going to get a super payday on the way if things work out the way I hope so. You know what I'm saying? He's running, baby Joker, Sunka got paid, 5185, not quite the max, but 185 ain't no bad chicken to make. Nah, hell nah, not for him. That's perfect.

Nah, yeah. They solidified their center position with him. He got five more years with him. So, hype for him, 185. Lord knew they shouldn't have gave me nothing like that. What you doing with 185? In Houston, 185. Put him in Utah with 185.

More than me. T.E. Halliburton. Shut up. Turn them Sister act girls out. Oh, man. Shout out to the payday. Listen, the Rockets got a young core. They got young talent.

They got to figure out who they're going to move forward with forever. If he got paid last year. But I think going forward, you know what I'm saying? They got their guys that they want locked in for a long time, period. Yo, Hawks. Jalen Johnson got paid. I told you I got a locking man. He the future. Hey, listen. He signed, to for a long time, period. Yo, Hawks, Jalen Johnson got paid. I told you I got a locking man. He the future.

Hey, listen, he signed, to me, five years, 150. A lot of people were thinking, is he worth $30 million a year? Most definitely. Especially in two years, this contract is going to look like an absolute steal. Nah, yeah, he's one of those guys. I think he's going to be an all-star this year. If he could potentially – he's shooting the ball a lot better. His jumper has improved.

So if he can continue to work on that and then like take that next step being Trey running mate, I think he'd be an all-star. Most definitely. Like you said, you know what I'm saying, you got young Zachary, the number one pick. They definitely got a young nucleus or something they could build around for sure. The future is still up with Trey, but while they're there,

they're going to make it happen. We talked yesterday about the Nuggets. We had a little bit of uncertainty. And Gordon got paid yesterday for year-year, 133, baby. He running it up in the league. Yeah, facts. Him and Tobias Harris clowning. Clowning.

Clowning, bro. I'm hyped for him, though, man, because he's been playing well. He's been robbed a couple years of being an all-star. So he deserves his payday. He's one of the top defenders in the league. Is this his third payout? I don't know, bro. Because he's been on a historical run on

payday. And it don't look like it's ending anytime soon. He's still getting to it. My boy getting that chicken. Yeah, for sure. The Denver Nuggets are playing 2K25 without the salary cap on because they are paying everybody they started five crazy money. Yeah, they deserve it though, bro. And they brought a chip to the city. Most definitely.

They brought a chip to Denver. Nobody expected that. Right. Definitely. Shout out to AG getting that bread. Trey Murphy. Four-year, 112. And my guy's injured right now. So, for him to solidify the deal and he can't even play right now, salute, King.

Nah. Facts. He's a good player, though. He a valuable pick. He can shoot, guard. What are you, like 6'9"? Athletic. They had to keep him because the Hawks who was on our way. What?

Three-point specialist. Play defense. Y'all need it. Man, oh, God. They need a couple of them. But listen, I think the best part about this is everybody is talking now about how the salary crap is rolling. It's like, he's getting $30 million.

He's getting $30 million. The crazy part is in two years, three years, $30 million will look like almost nothing i need to like figure out my life because if 30 million dollars look like nothing i'm coming out retiring that was that boy first deal wasn't it back in the day my four years back in my day that's all i'm excited for these young guys for sure for sure you gotta get that lonzo deal man go get you a new knee man tap back in i'm too it's over with my boy jaclyn sucks got paid too yes sir five real one fit that's been the 30 million i've been like the the market point for you know what i'm saying for a lot of good players young talent star i mean a star potential

potential i i believe starter for sure i think defensively um his ability on the court makes him worthy to play every night. Definitely a starter. I don't know if he'll be a star, but I think he has the opportunity to be, especially on a young team that's on the rise. They're going to be really, really, really good this year. Yeah, he's got the potential to be a star. I mean, with his 6'5", can play. Both guard positions can guard one through four, basically.

Yeah. But I'm hyped for him. I know it's about to be a nice house in Orlando. Come on, baby. You know that. We're about to get something nice. I'll be pulling up to the career, bro. I ain't mad at you.

Hey, Etuan told us about Florida. They had no state income tax. Yeah. It looked different. Yeah. Fuck. Most definitely. Another name we spoke of, Jaden Hardy.

Mavericks. He got a nice little payday, three-year 18. Yeah. Didn't really get a chance to show his full potential last year. Definitely showed some flashes throughout the rotation on a team that's super guard heavy. A little opportunity for him to grow a couple years and get a more paid A, but ain't nothing wrong with locking in at 18 million. No, no, it's good for him, a second-round pick.

You didn't get to see a lot of time on the court, so just to stay in the league for another three years and have some solidified bread for you is good. Most definitely. Moving on to Golden State, Moses Moody got paid through year 39. Another player who didn't get to show his full potential because you have a team full of Hall of Famers. So for him locking a deal like that now, going into the situation, is most definitely fire,

especially for the fact that Kaminga did not get paid at all. Yeah, they must believe in Moody for sure. Most definitely. I mean, he's a very solid rotational player. Like we said, he still hasn't got a chance to really flourish yet. He must be showing some glimpses in practice that we haven't seen because I haven't really seen him on the court much. And obviously I know he's a shooter coming out of high school and college,

but I haven't seen him play a lot. So I'm assuming that in practice. And early in this preseason he's been playing well, but I'm assuming that they got high hopes for him this year. this year for sure we've been uh talking about the quarter called Lilac offense for the Warriors trying to re-innovate themselves this year I think he's definitely gonna be a part of that for sure oh he gotta be I mean he's getting 39 way to locking that chicken and listen if you don't play it ain't nothing wrong with making 40 m's on the bench forget what's what they're talking about for sure now what do do you think about Kaminga not getting a deal?

Do you think he's too high on himself right now? Or do you think like... Well, I think from what's reported, obviously we don't know if this is true or not, he sees himself in a Kawhi Leonard type situation to where he feels like he's going to be a player that his value is going to be shown next year. He's going to get the pay that he deserves.

But also, you're on a team where you are not the first option. Is he the second option on Golden State? Yeah. So, I think if he's the second option, then I'm not mad at him for holding out or not getting an agreement or what they wanted to pay him because more likely he'll probably be killed this year. So, does it mean you get paid from Golden State or somebody else? I get it.

It'll be restricted. All right. Don't get hurt. Yeah. I understand that. Marcus, Dennis Schroeder, victor all the depot all great players but when you bet on yourself bro it's a it's a high risk bro low roar for real i think he young enough if he do get hurt like yeah he still could get five years and 120 like oh that's

all you know i'm saying he's still got the potential to be a really good player so he better himself to get the max but i just don't think he's better than jalen johnson like i don't and that's one of those things is no matter how good you feel like you are you are as good as the market is at the moment and i don't feel like he felt the same well obviously he didn't set a value of himself is what everybody else is getting paid but like you say you take that risk and one thing uh switch over nfl a little bit uh brandon you unfortunately got hurt this weekend but he held out yeah so he had offered his bread i know it's a little bit different Brandon Ayuk unfortunately got hurt this weekend, but he held out. So he held out for his bread. I know it's a little bit different

between NFL contracts and NBA, but he locked in that deal before he played. Now, if he doesn't lock in that deal, he gets hurt. Now what? You look at the Bucs yesterday with Goodwin. You know what I'm saying? He was looking for a crazy payday.

He got hurt in garbage time in the game, but they weren't coming back for him. So now, you know what I'm saying? We look at these players, it's like maybe he sold too early, but ain't nothing wrong with taking care of your family, for these players Like maybe he sold too early But ain't nothing wrong With taking care of your family For sure

Nah for sure man Ain't nothing wrong with that But I'm still a little Questionable about That Kaminga But hopefully You get a max deal Hopefully you kill

Everything go well But I don't know Time will tell I like Kaminga though But it's just Tough bro And you betting on yourself

Like that And you kind of Trying to force the hand He's solidified but not Kawhi Leonard is a push bro I mean Kawhi Leonard was competing in the finals He won the finals He was the finals MVP

So it's a little different But also don't he got a ring too I'm not saying Most definitely not the same at all But I'm saying for that monster And no disrespect It was more like A complimentary ring

You didn't really Yeah like that one I was wondering What that was I thought that was A little tricky From Best Buy or something Nah I thought

I got it from your jewelry I thought that was I thought that was A new Nano So that they're Spinning around They ain't got the chain People get when they get a tackle on the sideline. T got the bedazzled AirPods.

Hey, man. It been raining. T flexed on us, man. I was looking over there. I said, what is that? I didn't want to mess up the show. You know when you get a tackle from Miami and they run to the sideline where you get a pick.

They be hitting the head chain. So, you say Michael Irving got the chain. I'll take the Irving chain here to be here, Shane. So you say Michael Irving after you, Shane. I'll take Irving, Shane, all day. Cocaine cowboy. Man, keep it his plug. Rich since the 80s. Hey, man, NBA is officially back.

Man, the doubleheader, we spoke about it a little bit yesterday, but ring night, obviously, T, showing y'all what time it is. Knicks versus Celtics. It's stunning, y'all. I mean, it was fucking trash, how about it's just as trash as that damn celebration afterwards.

Now, that reads tough. The fact that the rotation's crazy. That's tough. Nah,

shout out to the Bucks, man. Who y'all got tonight, man? Nick Celtics. Celtics.

Going with Celtics? Yeah, I'm going with, nah, I'm going with, yeah, I'm going with, nah, I'm going. Nick Celtics. Celtics. Going with Celtics? Yeah, I'm going with, nah, I'm going with the, yeah, I'm going with, nah, I'm going with the Celtics. They're going to be celebrating. Might be hyping there. Okay.

Good energy. Yeah, they got the rings going. I know the feeling. Nah, I don't. I didn't play on ring night. You didn't even play on ring night. Nah, I didn't even play. Shout out to you.

Yes. But I think, typically we have like a, you know what I'm saying, a celebration hangover, championship hangover. I don't typically we have like a, you know what I'm saying, a celebration hangover, championship hangover. I don't think we have that with Jalen Brown

or Jason Tatum. Obviously, we're having the Olympics with JT, and then we see Jalen Brown, you know what I'm saying, went on with Stephen A talking about,

yeah, I'll play in the 2020 Olympics if I sign with Nike. So, I think they both have a chip on their shoulder. To have two players come back from winning

with that type of mentality, I think they're going to be locked in. Especially against this next team because everybody's already putting them to be against them in the Eastern Conference Finals. So I can see them setting the tone. It's a great opening night.

It's a great game to have for opening night. Two teams that everybody's excited about. And then a follow-up with the Lakers. So it's going to be a good night for basketball. I'm excited. It's going to be interesting, though. I got to see, like I said yesterday on the show, I got to see if Mike Hill bridges, man, what he's going to be looking like I got to see Like I said yesterday on the show I got to see Mike Hill Bridges

What he's going to be looking like for real Most definitely I'm very interested to see Tibbs rotation Like we said Tibbs don't play too many people But now he's got a lot of talent on that roster That he's going to have to figure that out Without disrupting everybody else's game

So who do you think the rotation is going to be? Because I don't really see I think it's perfect for Tibiv now. He just got to play with Ananobi, Bridges, Towns, and then... You got a strong eight. Who the eight? At the Brunson,

Mike Hill, Bridges, Ananobi, Towns. What's your four? Yeah. Deuce McBride will definitely be playing for sure. Who are they five uh but mitch roberts is out oh he's out that's why i had mitch so that's my eight we gonna see that five for sure yeah we ain't gonna see nobody else i don't even know who else on the team they got another uh punk right i got in the draft that pretty much was supposed to count right tj

mcconnell yeah, get well soon. Mark. Tibbs. Tibbs ain't going right now. Nah, he might get like 10 minutes a game. Yeah. Preston Jachua might play a little bit. He definitely probably will play as well. Think so?

He got his five. It's about to rock out. At 48, Josh Hart going to play too. Yeah, Josh Hart most definitely is going to play. Yeah, so Josh Hart might be six men. Where is he starting? He'll probably be six men. But I think they got to figure that out too.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So, Jalen Brunson. Yes, sir. Josh Hart might be six men Or is he starting? He'll probably be six men But I think they gotta Figure that out too Yeah That's what I'm saying Jason Brunson Yes sir Mikel Bridges Ananobi Towns Oh they starting Josh Hart too

That's Who's the two on the team? That's like the scary part Mikel Bridges Or Josh Hart And Mikel Bridges Is the two Shooting with that hitch

They gonna be in for a long season Josh Hart can run the two bro He that everything. Yeah, they not. There's no subs this game. Yeah. So, I don't know. I just think more so the Knicks got to figure it out more so than Celtics.

Celtics already kind of established, like, we know what we do. Oh, yeah. This is a brand-new team all the way around the board for the Knicks. So, if they struggle tonight, it's smooth. But we got to get the Kings out anyway. Most definitely. Most definitely. Most definitely. I got to figure out.

I can't remember his name. He went to Arkansas. He got the alopecia. He don't got no hair. Walsh. Oh, yeah. Jordan Walsh? Yeah, I think he going to be a rotational player this year for Boston.

I was watching him in the preseason. And he kind of fit what they got going on. Really good defender, athletic. Yeah, he fits the way that they play perfectly. Most definitely. The second game The doubleheader We got T. Wills Versus Lakers man

Before we talk about Whether it even happens In the game I saw Ken Griffey Jr. Talk yesterday About him and his pops Attending the game To honor Bronny

And LeBron's First time we ever had A father-son combination In the NBA Which we've heard For the last two years About this possibility I think them being

In attendance for this Is fire Oh that's hard That's historic man It is That's hard Even though it's A totally different dynamic

But Cause both of them Was raw at they sport Most definitely But you know Brian still gotta prove himself But that's dope That they embracing that

King Griffey a real one for that Yeah that's hard And Brian is like That's his favorite Baseball player ever So that makes sense Not as hard That's dope That makesball player ever So that makes sense Not as hard That's dope

That makes sense for sure But who getting the win though? T-Wolves T-Wolves getting the dub tonight? How you feeling T? I'm going to go with the Lakers man It's going to be a lot of fun In the building that night

Yeah Brian he going to get in He might go for about 12 Minutes or points? Minutes Okay So he going to can go About 12 minutes Shout out to J.J. Redick

The trial begins today If you are Head coach of the Lakers It is pressure From day one I don't think so I think so Not for him bro

How they approach this Like You know Shout out to D.Hemmy But That relationship Different Yeah

J.J. Rigg got away with the people. It's like he can do no wrong. I heard JJ Rigg say shit. I done seen him do all type of stuff at Duke. For some reason, we still seem to rock with JJ Rigg. Yeah, bro. JJ Rigg was a demon in college. One of the most

hated players of all time, and he was cold. Super cold, but still rock with him so but was that duke tax too because we we went favorable that was before jabari parker that was before jaleel alkafor everybody wasn't so fond of duke like that but jj reddick put up numbers yeah jj reddick gonna have more grace too because him and brian got that real friendship y'all saw the pie for the little you know for the few episodes we saw they've been putting this together bro brian is strategic bro so he like bro This is how I want it

We saw What's the Starting five At the beginning The first episode I was like I hate this shit already So

I don't think he got that same energy With J.J. Redick This year bro It's a vibe They collabing with everything Yeah It's a vibe Nah

It's pretty chill Over there probably right now Most definitely man love to start the nba season off that way listen we gotta talk about some of our legends man um they're getting up there in age you got high years in the league for lebron obviously curry and durant are we you know i'm saying approaching the end of an era i don't think so we got two more two good two more years for our heroes over with there i grew up in and played in two more years two more years For our heroes Over with there I grew up in And played in Two more years Two more years

You gotta get a step Don't play like Three more years Brian Brian got two left KD probably got like Three or four Who retires first

Out of all of them Brian Think so He ain't got two bro What if in another world Of Brian I'll play Everybody

We just mentioned It's possible. I mean, if he played a 45, I'm going to start like questioning stuff for real. Why? Bringing up allegations. Because it's just not – I mean, he's not normal. Yeah. For a 45.

But he still get numbers though, bro. He can play to 45. I'm saying if he's still playing like this at 45. If he's still averaging 20 to 45. I'm saying if he's still playing like this at 45. If he's still averaging 20 at 45. Now, if he's averaging 13 and 5 and 5, I'd be like, all right. Well, when Brian starts averaging 13, I think he going to throw the shoes up. LeBron is never going to average 13 points. I think once it gets hard for LeBron to score 20,

I can see LeBron not being in the league anymore. I can see LeBron retiring after next year. He'll help Bronny with his first year, play the second, see if brownie was that kind of guy. If something good gonna happen. So we ain't waiting

on Bryce. Bryce gonna have to figure it out. If he waits till Bryce and it happens the way it happened with brownie, then LeBron is undefeated. Because 45,

he'll be, Bryce will be there. He can do a year of college and he'll be there. I just don't see, I'm not hating on their family. I just,

Bryce make it to the league. Off the one and done. The fix is in. Bryce go to the league. Bronny, All-American McDonald's. You know what I mean? You can see. Alright.

We can work with Bronny. We got a little bit more to see with Bryce. Respect Lord, but you still got two years left for Bryce I think Bryce will go On Duquesne or something I don't know Where he's going He's a senior this year

He can't be He is a senior Nah bro He a senior this year Yeah him and Kyan Seniors Oh well yeah If he already committed

To Duquesne I mean I don't know Where he going I don't know We'll have plenty of Fact checks about that Situation You said you wanted Duke?

Duke, Carolina. If I'm LeBron Jameson, I go with him. Or just run it back at, listen, listen. Run it back at USC. This is the play. Run it back at USC. Bro passed out on the court. You know what I mean?

He couldn't play how he was supposed to. Had to get his, you know, had to hit the chamber. I'm fully healthy. I'm going to go rock out. And I'm going to bring another five-star with me. Listen, that's a lot of work for LeBron. I'm going to organize and make this happen. We shall see.

Hey, listen, also, we get to return to John Morant. Man, got the new sneaker. You know what I'm saying? The team looking good. I've seen them in the preseason versus Pacers. Everybody looks good against the Pacers in the preseason, so I don't know how much that helps. But, look, I think the Grizzlies should be back in contention for,

you know what I'm saying, doing Doing some Make some noise in the West I don't know if I can Put them top four But I can put them Right outside of that window For sure Top four I don't think they

Right there at four I think they're probably Maybe five on now Which I don't think Is disrespecting the West Because the West Got some heavy hitters They can compete bro

They can compete I'm excited about the Grizzlies I think they got The perfect team Who they two guard Smart Desmond? Desmond Bang. Desmond Bang.

Smart at the three. Smart at the three. And they got my dog Jaron Jackson at the four. And Big Zach Eady at the five. Or they might play my guy with the hops towards Achilles, but he's back now. Who? Towards Achilles. Yeah, he

got injured. Man, it's my bad, y'all, for not knowing. Not Clark. Clark, there we go. They might play Clark at the five. That'd be very interesting. I mean, the way that they play, just the pace. I watched their offense a lot in the preseason. They move the ball a lot.

And when you got good ball movement space, you got obviously Luke Canark from off the bench, a capable shooter with Desmond Bain. Ja going to do What Ja do man And I think a lot of people Forgot how good Ja Morant was And he's going to remind A lot of people again

Jared Jackson will have A better year than he did Last year too He need him The entire team will But they played like 85 players in the Grids last year

Injuries decimated That team last year For sure That makes some noise But Zach Eady Is a difference maker I think a lot of people Would second guess

Them picking him that high and then think he could be a capable NBA player. After watching the preseason and seeing how he moves, he's going to be perfectly fine in the NBA. I don't know what shot they gave him because he wasn't moving like that at Purdue. He was running the floor like a raptor for sure.

If he's doing that, that'd be a scary team for sure. It's a little bit different When he had the point guard So he had I don't know if that's Quite all Americans But he got John Moran

Yeah John Moran It's a little bit different Nah it is a little bit different But I'm saying Like they still Braden and then Braden Smith is still A fast paced player at Purdue

Most definitely Just seeing him move Like I was just like Dang I don't I didn't see that in college So Nah in fact He definitely playing

At a different pace. Yeah. And look a little more athletic, too. Right. He does dunks and stuff, but, nah, he more than capable, for sure. Most definitely. We just talking about Jalen Suggs getting that bag. You know what I'm saying?

The magic. Are they going to make that next step this year? I like them. A really respectable team. I mean, I thought they weren't last year, but they snuck a lot of people. I told you, you know, you got on them colors today. They're yellow a little off, but they're going to be better than them this year for sure. They ain't quite gold.

Yes. That's it, Caramel. Caramel's crazy. Caramel College is nasty. And last but not least, OKC, your guys, they built a win, man. Yeah, for sure man Shea gonna have Them boys rocking

Chet Gonna have a hell of a year They got a good team over there Listen man When Isaiah Harnestown Gets back They are going to be a problem Yeah

That was a great pick up Yeah how long is he at I think he's out A couple weeks I imagine I mean I wouldn't rush it Because

Obviously it's the same Team they had last year He was a pick up So they can keep The ball going And then once they Integrate him man Him and Chet At the 4-5 to close out games, you're not going to out-rebound them.

Defensively, they're going to be crazy, especially if you got Lou Dort at the 3. Come on, man. Lou Dort a problem, bro. You can't score on that team. Lou Dort be locking shit up, too. Yeah. I just think they were scared of the Timberwolves last year when they played them. Timberwolves was just too big last year. They was terrified of the Timberwolves last year when they played them. Timberwolves was just too big last year.

Yeah, they was terrified of them. If there was one team in the West that matched up with them perfectly, it was them, unfortunately. Because if they would have played Denver, I think it's a different situation. They just matched up with the perfect, like you said, the size advantage was definitely not in their favor in that situation. Listen, man, we got a lot going on. What I want to talk about last night, be here, verify buckets, who was getting to it. Man, go to Lamar Jackson, man. I told you, my boy could have had six, but they called one back. But he was doing his thing.

I think he's going to get that MVP again this year, though. And I see the Ravens. What are they, five and two now? Mm-hmm. Yeah, bro, they special, bro. It's crazy how everybody was talking crazy after them first two Ls. They were scared about the Ravens and everything. They called my boy Kodak Black. That was out of pocket.

And what's crazy about it is Joe Burrow gets the benefit of starting off trash because they say in a season he always goes crazy. But I'm like, why Lamar Jackson never get that grace? We know why. We know why, but it's crazy that a two-time MVP still has to act like he has to prove himself when a lot more quarterbacks don't have his accolades or stats or accomplishments, and they give them a pass I think that is crazy

Yeah but that come with that When you at the top You know what I mean If Pat Mahomes Was ever start off like that They'd come at him too They'd criticize him A little different

So it just come with it It's the only way At the top That's what they say That's what they say And listen He got a running mate Because Derrick Henry

Man He filthy Come on man That 81 yard touchdown was so crazy and to the safety that stopped that touchdown um i gotta be forever with you because you messed up one of my legs dog yeah i needed that i also want to give a verified bucket to my boy michael pitman you know i mean one of five players to have 100 touchdowns within the first 11 hall of famers career so you get a

verified bucket even though y'all took the L my boy you do your thing he's gold jacket whenever he ready I want to give my verified bucket to the WNBA players association they opted out of their last agreement a lot of times we get on here and we talk about um you know send a business aspect of stuff we kick in the backs of NFL players NBA players or what they sell these association agreements or whatever the fact that they say okay we're gonna take a stand against this and we're trying to upgrade everything now listen we know it's been a lot of back and forth and mixed feelings about stuff but for them to stand on business I gotta show some respect because we always hate when people don't handle business so for them to get out that deal I think it's up in

2025 they deserve a revenue split the fact that they really weren't getting paid for some of them jersey sales so they had their craziest jersey sales of all time last season come on man don't even get some of that money back though i mean listen it ain't about getting your money back if you're getting a split listen that's oh that's y'all job to recoup it's my child to get paid i ain't mad they were making sure they get paid i heard that before my verified book go to jaylen green man of getting that contract extension historic i mean you'll be able to get the opt out there that low that early in the contract when you're that young to re-up again you kind of got that little he about to set a new wave a new trend

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation 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.

Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment and sports collide and hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.
