Listen, we can talk about this game, but first and foremost, roll the clip. We start off. Draymond Iso at the end of the game on Rudy Gobert.

Talk bad to him, Dray. Yeah. And he punched it. Ah! Y'all know how I feel about Rudy. He did the step-night night celebration. Oh, I know. They was teed up in there. Oh, my kids, that's my favorite play of celebration. Oh, I know. They was teed up in there.

Oh, my kids. That's my favorite play of 2024. Oh, God. That's the hardest play. I despise Rudy Gobert's game. So, to know they beef. Why he start that? James Harden between the legs to the dunk.

Man, that nigga look like Escalade out there. And that clip. That was tough. That was tough. I didn't see that. Shout out to my nigga was tough. That was tough. I didn't see that. Shout out to my nigga Draymond for the show. Hey, listen.

Dray didn't even use no moves, no right trigger, nothing. He went straight to the cup on Rudy. Oh, God. Ain't no telling the last time he did some shit like that. He probably was talking bad to him, though.

Yeah. While he was dribbling. Sad ass nigga. About to hit you with some flint shit. Hey, you ain't never seen somebody in NBA history choke somebody with your hand dunk on them. Draymond a legend for that for sure, man. Nah, you ain't never seen somebody in NBA history choke somebody out and dunk on them.

Draymond a legend for that, for sure, man. Yeah, I'm all for that. For sure, man. Steph had 30 yesterday, 30 and 8. And man still had 27, but listen, man. Let's just start with the Warriors. You know what I'm saying? We all feel like is this a team who, if they get in the playoffs and make some noise? No.

No? Yeah, I mean, they got Steph Curry. Okay. And then they got some capable shooters around them but anytime you got steph curry you good most definitely i think wig having a great year he's playing well i know he's hurt right now but he's playing well and cominga shows i mean he has moments where he's really good and then they got capable guys around them draymond like he did last night he's been playing well even though he's been coming off the bench or whatever but yeah even yeah, he's been playing well. For sure.

And you know what? Like you said about Kaminga, last night he had 20 and 7. Hearing them talk about, listen, he up next. We look at him like he up next. We going to treat him as such. Yeah, he's still growing. Yeah, he's still figuring it out. He may not be what y'all want him to be yet,

but we see the potential. We don't care if y'all don't see it. Yeah. I mean, shit, they know better than us. But this was a game. I mean, shit, they know better than us. But this was a game. I mean, the Warriors just lost to them the other day. T-Wolves beat them at Golden State. So, they played a home-home game.

They get back. Yeah, they got their get back. You usually don't get that kind of get back that fast, but it was good to see them. For sure. The T-Wolves, man, what they looking like so far here? Oh, we all right, man. We just rolling on through.

We pacing. No concerns? No, they actually playing real. Okay. They playing real Oh, we all right, man. We just rolling on through. We pacing. No concerns? Nah, they actually playing real. Okay. They're doing well now. No concerns, bro. We coasting. We ain't hit our stride yet. We just, we waiting on that 5-6 game winning streak to really get this going. I know, but I'm saying we need one, like, towards the playoffs.

For us to feel like we comfortable to make some noise. They was playing defense again. Um, it's the first time they didn't hold somebody over. Like, they was holding guys under 100 points. for us to feel like we're comfortable to make some noise. They was playing defense again. It's the first time they didn't hold somebody over. They was holding guys on their 100 point. And I think it's the first game

they got over 100. Somebody in like the last four or five games. But they've been playing defense. They've been getting back to their old ways, locking up.

Watching Ant play is like dope. Like when you watch him play basketball, bro, it's like fun. He make me want to play basketball.

Straight up. And I fuck with him for saying, like, you know. I don't know. I just feel like he got the relationship with his players. Like, damn, by the time I see my boy JR finally playing defense, I ain't never seen Julius Renner play defense. So, I just think, bro, they just coast him trying to figure it out. So, hopefully they can, you know.

He make you, like, excited about the game. Him and John Morant make basketball exciting. I ain't going to lie. Like, I love Boston. They good, but I don't get excited

when I watch Boston. Like, I know JT good. I know JB good. I know they got the best team, whatever. But I watch their games and I'm kind of like,

all right, they're good. But then when I watch Ant play, I'm like, shit, man. I'm about to go hoop tomorrow. You know what I mean? I'm about to go do this. And the same then when I watch Ant play, I'm like, shit, man. I'm about to go hoop tomorrow. You know what I mean?

I'm about to go do this. And the same thing when I watch Ja. I'm like, man, I'm going to Ja. And especially the way that both of them players play. Like you said, Ant got that relationship where he tell his teammates, like, damn, by the time, you know what I'm saying, you're doing your thing. He did it to Steph Curry in the Olympics when he was going crazy. He was like, damn, by the time he showed up.

So if I can do that to the best player in the world, bro, I can talk to y'all like this. Yeah, I think him being a leader at such a young age, bro, that franchise, if they keep him, is in good hands. For real. Yeah, listen, we know there's sometimes small markets and things happen, but I can see them doing whatever they got to do to make sure they keep him.

Because there's no reason every word of it isn't here for life. That's a lot. Yeah, bro. He's a for life. That nigga's Reggie Miller. He's for life. A lot of the fucking... He's over. that we were there. That's a lot. Yeah, bro. He's a for-lifer. That nigga's Reggie Miller. He's for-lifer. A lot of the fuck he is. He's a for-lifer.

For sure, man. Listen, man, another player who should be a for-lifer, Jokic, man. I don't know what he was on this weekend, but he chose violence.

My man had 48 yesterday, as you know what I'm saying. Nuggets, beat the sleeves off your Hawks. 141 gives me to 111. 30-piece. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ

with the little white dudes. Listen, man. This Christ. Jesus Christ. That's a little white dude. Listen, man. This wasn't even the best game he had this weekend. That's the crazy part. But yesterday, he had 48-16-8. Come on, man. MPJ surprised me with seven assists. That was a different bag.

He took the overall draft, Kings. You came up yesterday, my boy. He probably surprised himself. Seven assists is crazy for MPJ. Every time he passed, I feel like Cat, when he threw the ball, when he was having Keith to the corner, that's how I feel like MPJ passed the ball. It's got to be special because he don't be swinging that shit for nothing. I ain't going to lie.

I know he might not win MVP, but he probably MVP. Like, yo get this crazy. Come on, bro. That's a lock, bro. Like, that's crazy, bro. Scoring 100 plus points in two games. That's a lock, bro. Like, that's crazy, bro. Scoring 100-plus points in two games. That's a lock. Yeah, and can we pull up the numbers from the Wizards game?

I know that they lost to the Wizards. Shout out to the Wizards. You know what I'm saying? 56. Come on, bro. Whatever he had. Oh, he had three assists. I was about to say, you know what?

Hell yeah, sir. Y'all said seven on here. I said, damn. Wait, what? That's my verified bucket. Okay, keep scrolling. Keep scrolling. That's seven rebounds.

Seven rebounds, dude. We know MPJ ain't passing time. I'm just saying, on here, it says seven. That's what I'm about to say. He's automatically my verified bucket for the day. Shout out to the fact check. Shout out to the fact check. Shout out to the fact check. Thank God.

We put some allegations on that boy. You know he don't pass the basketball. Ew. 56. Come on, bro. 56-16-8 is stupid. Yeah. I don't care who guarding you, bro.

That's elite. No, it is. It's crazy. It's not surprising. I don't think I've ever seen any other center with those numbers besides Will Chamberlain. Yeah. Yeah, bro. That's why I was.

I didn't want to say it yesterday. Yeah, bro, because it was. Play the video and stop showing me that picture, bro. It's cat. I don't believe you, bro. I ain't going to say it's cat, but. It's cat, bro. They only had like 17.

He was way ahead of his time, bro. Bro, they showed us some 1940s football, like some college football, where they had the soft helmets, bro. If they got footage of that game, bro, why don't they have the best basketball game time, bro. Bro, they showed us some 1940s football, like some college football where they had the soft helmets, bro. If they got footage of that game, bro, why don't they have the best basketball game ever, bro? Show me the footage, bro. Kobe's 81 stands.

Where is your kitchen centers? Like, where is he right? Top five for damn sure. Shit, he hired to that. Is he better than Shaq? Ooh. I don't... I think he a better basketball player than Shaq? Ooh. I don't know. I think he a better basketball

player than Shaq. I don't think he more dominant than Shaq. Yeah, it's over with. Yeah, Shaq's dominance is so crazy. But a lot of them people outside of... I mean, I put Shaq above him, but some other people, I don't know. I ain't so sure about, bro. I don't want to disrespect all his. I know they be feeling a way when we say that

shit about our ears and stuff, but Yoka's fucking some of them up for sure. I think he the most skilled center. Oh, yeah. Yoka's just cooking for us. Between him and Hakeem, I think Shaq the most dominant. If I had to pick a center, I'm picking Shaq. Out the good. Just because he's easy money. His pose,

his size, you can't match that. He's like 7'1", 400 or something. And he can move. Yeah, especially young Shaq, bro. Yeah, bro. There wasn't shit you could do with Shaq. There'd never be another one of those. Never be a Shaq again. That's dead. But as far as skill,

I've never seen a center play like Yogi. George Mikan is crazy. George Mikan is nuts. Yogi can get him 50, bro. Yeah. But I've never seen him 50, bro. Yeah. But I've never seen nobody as skilled as Yoke. Hey, bro. Yoke is the second best of all time.

Damn. Yeah, he better than everybody besides Shaq. I think he better than David Robinson. I don't know about Hakeem. He is better than David Robinson. And David Robinson's called. He has 70, but he's better than David Robinson. And that's no disrespect. The only reason why I put Hakeem, honestly, I'll tell you that,

but he might be three. Hakeem was such a force on the defensive end. Oh, yeah, bro. Dream was. And he got two of them joints, too. I'm sorry. Yeah, Hakeem. Back to back, you got to respect it.

I'll go Shaq, Hakeem, then Yoke, and then Kareem. Yeah. I know Kareem got all them damn points and all that shit, but. Yeah, there's a lot of points to have. You had to score the bucket. And, you know, I hate old niggas, but Kareem doing the hook shot, bro, and scoring a basketball is. You need to leave, bro.

You was a Harlem Globetrotter your whole career, bro. Yeah, bro. On my mind. Hold on, I got to redo that. Kareem number one. Yeah, I was going to say. Kareem. He's still not number one for me, but him being a Harlem Globetrotter, bro.

Hooking niggas all day, bro. Kareem. I'm still not number one for me, but him being a Harlem Globetrotter, bro. Hooking niggas all day, bro. Kareem. I'm going to go Shaq, my number one. Probably. He made one of the best moves in basketball history. I got to put him up there, bro. He was just. I respect y'all list, bro.

I'm just saying. I don't want to see it, but that's crazy, bro. I got to respect it. I got Shaq one. I'm going to go Hakeem two, Yoke three. Okay. Kareem four. Yeah, I got to put Kareem 4.

I'm just nothing on his game, bro. But it was so efficient, and he killed on every level. Yeah, I'm going back. High school. Kareem 2. Dominated college. Dominated the pros, bro. He played for 25 years.

I think Shaq could tell you that Kareem is 1. Yeah. Even though we feel differently, I think Shaq could tell you that Kareem is one. Yeah. Even though we feel differently, I think Shaq would even tell you Kareem is one. Yeah, I mean, if I seen Shaq and Kareem in a game, I think Shaq would kill Kareem. Yeah, bro. Throw it off the backboard.

Oh, if he asked me who I get to pick? Oh, yeah. Kareem is like this. Shaq going to kill Kareem. Yeah. But Kareem, his stats and all that. He's going to get 30. I don't know if Shaq can stop that hook either.

Nah, he going to get Shaq 30. Yo, yeah. He going to bust Shaq ass too, though. All't know if Shaq can stop that hook either. Nah, he gonna get Shaq 30. He gonna bust Shaq ass too, though. All them will bust Shaq ass. Like, Shaq wasn't a defensive, like... He wasn't, but he elbowed the shit out of you so much he drained you, bro.

After three dropships, bro. His offense, the game was like his defense. That's why I just think Arvidas Sabonis was so cold because he was the only nigga that took that beating from Shaq, bro, and was still killed. I seen Ben Wallace lock Shaq. I ain't never seen that. Well, that's how they won the chip.

That was like... I don't know. That was an allegation, Shaq. I'm going to put that on DP, and I'm going to put that on Carl. I ain't going to put that on Shaq. That ain't Shaq. I'm not taking away from what you saw, bro. I just feel like that was just a different time. They had just won how many in a row, tooq 4, bro. I'm not taking away from what you saw, bro. I just feel like that was just a different time. That was navigation.

They had just won how many in a row, too? Yeah, bro. Hey, Ben Wallace is slept on, too. For you to be motherfucking 6'3", guard a nigga like that. That's why he in the Hall of Fame. Everybody want to hide in the Hall of Fame. He's one of the best defenders ever. Yeah.

That's probably the best defensive frontcourt ever, bro. Don't disrespect the career. Don't keep career in one. Shaq 2. Hakeem one. Shaq two. Hakeem three. Yoke four. Yoke four. Do they teach hook shots anymore?

There's the small jump hook. That's not even a thing anymore. Yeah, I mean, all big men want to do is shoot threes. You know, I ain't, you know what I mean? All big men want to do is shoot threes. Now, you know, they all get spooky.

All the big men want to shoot threes now. They ain't trying to do no possible. Okay. You know, the jump hook was a thing for a while. It was. You know what I mean? I need to bring it back. Yeah.

For sure, man. All right, listen. I know it's a built-ass situation, but how you feel about your Hawks, man? When it last six games? You got, you know, there's so many games in the season. You're going to have a game where you just ain't got it. You're just going to have it last night. Trae Young can't score 15.

He's been scoring, like, between 15 and 20. In games like that, bro, they probably need you to get your old 30, 40 piece that you was doing these past years. He being a pure point this year. Yeah. I respect that. And y'all want me to pass, right? That's what they asked me to do.

I feel like it's kind of like, ugh. But it's been working, though. Yeah. They won five, five, six in a row. Yeah. Yeah. Just had a bad game last night. For sure.

I mean, and obviously, before we get out of here, how y'all feel about the Nuggets championship win, though? Do they need to get another piece or are they a team that can compete right now for a title? They finally got Aaron Gordon back.

Jamal Murray hasn't been Jamal Murray that we were used to. So, that's their biggest problem right now. Jamal Murray just not. Jamal Murray that we were used to. So, that's their biggest problem right now. Jamal Murray just not. Jamal Murray, we fell in love with

at the bubble. Jamal Murray in the bubble was the coldest basketball player of all time. Him and your boy from the Pacers. Yeah. TJ Warren. TJ Warren was Jesus Christ

bro in the bubble, bro. I thought he was the next coming, bro. Hey, after that shit, that nigga was coming to the factory, bro. Hooping with these niggas. He was giving niggas some blues at the factory

shout out to TJ he was like he was giving boys the blues at the no there ain't nothing he was playing

with bro new he played at the factory gave somebody like 12 in a row then he only played like 3 games

and left like 3 or 4 games now that's why to have a room like that I'm going to cook everybody while my game He only played like three games and left. Like three or four games. Respect, man. Now, that's why. To have a run like that maximized, I'm going to cook everybody while my game sliders is up. Nah, yeah.

This shit was up for sure. First time I see some people just chill out, get humble a little bit. Oh, okay. Somebody saw what it was like for real. Yeah. Showing niggas this is a real difference. Yeah. He was pretty good, though. He always could hoop.

It's just crazy. Like, that run he had, I thought he was going to be in the league for a while. Not doing that type of crazy shit. That was unreal. But I don't know. It just seemed like he kind of fell off. Well, he had an injury, too. Yeah, he got hurt.

No, but that's what I'm saying. Like, he had a comeback from an injury. Yeah. But, nah, I remember it was a short time period. It was very short. But him and Jimmy was a thing until the next time he played the Heat, and Jimmy ended that. Yeah. That hurt.

That's a Tony Warren dream, man. By a doubt. Hey, man, the Bucs. We went over the next yesterday, 118-113. We talked about it, man. Chris Middleton. I mean, getting a player. When you're getting an all-star Hall of Fame capable player,

I mean, arguably a three-time all-star champion. Yes, sir. He might be able to get in the Hall, huh? Yeah. He's going to have the stats. He's good, man. He's going to have the stats. He's going to have the accolades, for sure.

Yeah, getting a player with his capabilities back. It's only up from here. I mean, they played well against the Boston Celtics as defending champs. He played on limited minutes, and they played good. And you could see down the stretch they was going to him. They know what to do. Yeah, so getting him back a closer. Yeah, they all right.

They're going to be all right. Listen, man, Giannis is doing what he does best, 34-11 yesterday. Like, Schroeder had 34-11 too. He be hooping this year. He going to get traded, bro. Yeah, I wonder who that is. And Johnson 26. That's what I've been saying.

They too good. They playing too good. You're going to get relocated. Yeah. I don't know who they're going to get traded, bro. Yeah, I wonder who. And Johnson 26. That's what I've been saying. They too good. They playing too good. You're going to get relocated. Yeah. I don't know who they're going to get traded to. Yeah, that's still tough for me. They have plenty of teams. Yeah, them too.

Them too. Two people that really are needed. Mm-hmm. The Lakers need Dennis. A couple teams need Dennis for real. That would be crazy. Those are two players, like you said, that would fit on that team. Perfect.

They need to do a trade with the Nets. For sure. But the problem is, again, who do they give up that people want? D'Angelo Russell. If that make D'Angelo Russell in that again, that's crazy. They need Bronny. I'm making Schroeder the Laker again. I mean, that's a good thing

for him. He told them, I got to go back to this? That's where he was killing. Yeah, he probably want to. If I'm Dennis, I do not want to leave Brooklyn, though. My first time actually having a team that's kind of around me. Turn that payday down. That's what the

problem is with that situation. Staying broken, keep killing up. But listen, man, they've been doing a lot of work this year. Like you said, there's a lot of pieces on that team that could probably help some contenders out. Man, the Nets been playing interesting basketball, too. Nobody expected them to be one of the better teams in the East this year, but that's definitely where they're at. Well, the whole Eastern Conference is shit. Yeah, man.

Listen, we had high expectations for the East, and it is just, hey, listen. You three games away, bro. You three games away from changing the whole entire franchise around, bro. That is really crazy to me, bro, that the East is that bad. It's nasty, bro. But it's early. It's early. It's early, bro, bro. People still sad, bro. Because look right now.

Listen, your Heat, man. They took care of the Cavs yesterday, the fourth off of the season. Yeah, I just rocked with Tyler Hero. I don't fuck with the Heat. Oh, okay. Well, he had 34 years. You don't rock with the Heat. Oh, okay. Well, he had 34 years to heal, you know. You don't rock with the Heat

Don only had 12. So, for Donovan Mitchell to have 12 points and y'all lose by nine, off night, fourth off the season. You have bad nights. They just behind the runs and some shit like that, bro. Yeah. Damn. Season too long.

They're going to have some potholes. They're going to hit for sure. And the Heat, we were talking about, maybe they need to take out. They're on a three-game win streak, five of the last seven. I don't know, though. I don't think Bam want to lose, though, like that. Nah, you know, the Heat, they always one of them teams that make that run. Yep.

They go through all these injuries, be sad. Jimmy be out for a little bit. Bam get hurt. Tyler Hero get hurt. And all of a sudden, they all come back and they make this run. Yep. Then they make a trade and get a cool player and

make it to the conference finals. All the role players that had all year play out of their fucking minds in the playoffs. And then they get paid and go somewhere else and sit on the bench. That's why I don't fuck with them. I think it's fixed, bro. How y'all got the same storyline? Every year, bro. Gabe Vincent hoop out. Go to LA. Don't play.

Somebody else gonna hoop out. What's the Caleb twin? Was it Martin twin? Go to Philly. Go to L.A., don't play. Somebody else going to hoop out. What's the Caleb twin? What's the Martin twin? Yeah, you're on your way out. Go to Philly, don't play. They're going to send him to Charlotte. You know it's crazy, man. Everybody gets so mad at Gay Vincent,

but I just see you killing the finals. Shout out somebody gay, bro. Cash that check. What would they talk about, bro? Sometimes you just can't leave that. The grass ain't greener, bro. Yeah. Cause you gotta know whoever bobbed out with you or rock with you.

When you got the money to get the money, they don't rock with you. Regardless. When you go to that other place, they expect certain things, but you don't know how the organization, how the players going to respond. Yeah.

Going to the Lakers. What's wrong, bro? Shit. Shit. Me. It was crazy. As you talk about the same story, maybe That's right, bro. Shit. Shit and me. Hey, what's crazy is you talk about the same story. Maybe it's just Eric Sposio.

Maybe it's Pat Riley. Nah, they know how to pick them. They real particular about who they come to them doors, bro. Nah, yeah, but I'm saying they help them get right. They help you get paid. You probably, like bro said, you probably should have stayed, bro. Miami ain't a bad spot. It's kind of like Lance.

Because you're not one of them players like that, for real. Like Lance when he left Indiana. Should have never left. Go to Charlotte. Never listened to Michael Jordan. Shit got weird after a while. He was going to get paid, though. He was going to get paid here, but the difference, even if it was a lot more than what it was,

it didn't help. Because remember, he had to go through a couple places before he came back here, which is he thrived here. I mean, I get it. Shit, take a chance. Ain't nothing wrong with it. But a couple places before he came back here, which is... Yeah. He thrived here. I mean, I get it. Shit, take a chance. Ain't nothing wrong with it. But like you said, the grass ain't always green

in them situations. I was never a chance taker. Nah, you sure the fuck wasn't. Hey. I was. Hey, everyone, I took a chance. That shit, did that work?

Y'all want me for 32 years for two million? Where you at? What? 32 years for two million. I'll be doing the J. That nigga didn't negotiate nothing. I'll be doing that J.B. song.

That nigga jammed in negotiations, bro. He took everything. Fuck it, bro. Big Red Records, nigga. You only got one life to live. Hey. You know what I'm saying? Now I'm here.

And another one. Shout out to 500K, man. Y'all are crazy, man. Listen, we got a couple games to go through for sure. The 76ers beat the Bulls yesterday. MB came back 31-12. Maxie 25-14 and 11

like a little trippy dub. That's my boy, man. Hopefully they can go on a little. You know, the East is so trash. They can fuck around and make something shake. They can fuck around and be the seventh seed. But I could go on a win streak and be like

the East. Can y'all pull up the East? Please. I don't want y'all to ruin my morning, but pull it up. I looked at it last night in pure disgust. Look at this, bro. This is all nasty work. He did the 12 seed.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, damn. 76ers only got how many games? They got seven wins. Look at them Bucks. They go on a four or five game winning streak. They could be a seven or eight seed. The Pistons have three more wins Bill Bucks. Let's go, Bucks. They go on a four or five game winning streak. They could be the 76ers. The Pistons have three more wins than the 76ers.

This is crazy. Yeah, this is like. Oh, yeah. The Sixers going to be the 60. That's all said and done. Let's go, Tyrese. Hey, how funny would it be if the Sixers made some noise in the playoffs? After starting off terrible, everybody talking shit about them.

They come to the playoffs and fuck around. That's why I'm scared, though, because playoffs and fuck around. I don't even think they might. They can't. It's very possible for that to happen. They ain't that. Matter of fact, they probably going to beat a 4-5-5 seed. Okay, Philly, we back. They got

a chance, bro. Let's hope out east. Oh, listen. You can either tank or be in the playoffs. Shout out to the Bucs. The Bucs don't move up. It might get spooky for the Magic. The Bucs might replace the Magic. The Magic, yeah. Yeah, you losing to Franz.

We just had a fatal injury. Yeah, Franz. Bro, two fatal injuries, bro. How they both get the same oblique injury? That's crazy. Bro. It's all in the water. Boy, they put the Magic training staff in an allegation.

So I see the Bucs moving on up, bro, in that conference for sure. Shit. The Hawks being the seventh seed at 13-12 is crazy. The fact is they can move up too because they've been hooping too. That's the crazy part. Yeah, but I'm saying like the real superstars is on the Bucs team, bro, and they supposed to be up there like we predicted before this shit started. The Sixers, they're going to end up a playoff team for sure.

Most definitely. Five, six. Yeah, it sounds good. Shout out to them. Hornets beat the Patriots yesterday 113-109. Brandon Miller be killing the Patriots. I guess every time B. Miller sees the Patriots, it's time for a mixtape. 26-6. Damn, TJ gave y'all

postcard. It's the players, bro. It's a good thing. No, it's not, bro. It is, bro. That's why them niggas can go, too. Listen, listen, bro. But he's starting. He's growing, man. I get the coaches. You know, we make jokes and shit about Darvin Hill and Doc and...

Bro, these niggas is professional athletes, bro. I agree. Y'all should be able to figure it out, bro. Trying to get rid of the coach, bro, every week is crazy. But until it happens. Y'all got to take some type of accountability, though, bro. The players have to take some type of accountability. We can't keep firing

the coaches, bro. For sure. But did you not hear me say that everybody on that roster that said 0-0-0-4-3 can go? That's accountability. No, bro. You wanted Matthew

and gone, bro. No, I wanted him gone because Rick wasn't gonna play. Like, if you're not gonna play him, what are you doing? You holding him back. You went away. You trying to get paid.

Yeah, that's Nick. Respect. Thank you, King. Get well soon, Pacers. We suck. Magic beat the Sun yesterday. 115 to 110. Listen, this is Nicky. Respect. Thank you, King. Get well soon, Pacers. We suck. Magic beat the Suns yesterday, 115 to 110.

They all started to figure it out, man. Y'all got two, too. Yeah. That one sucks, too. Last night. For sure going crazy, bro.

26P, something slight. D-Books had 25, doing what he does best, for sure. Grizzlies beat the Wizards yesterday, 140 to 112. We're not putting up there because the Wizards got smacked again. Surprise, surprise. We need to talk about the Grizzlies, though. Yeah. Most definitely talk about the Grizzlies stuff. Yeah. Most definitely talk about

the Grizzlies. They a force to be reckoned with in the West. John Morant, he probably the most athletic guard I ever seen. To go baseline on a 7'4 dude

for his ingus and a double clutch like Vince Carter, that was crazy. Y'all see that? Bro, come on. After telling us he wasn't dunking no more. And did that shit so slight.

Like, he did like the safe version of that shit. That shit was crazy. Shout out to Scottie Pippen Jr. too. Yeah. Hey, man. Hooping. Maximizing your role, bro. That's crazy.

But, man, that's like the jaw effect. Everybody who, you know what I'm saying, who tap in with jaw, they play well. They play together. Like you said, the energy about Anthony Edwards with John Morant, it's apparent, bro. It's a totally – the whole entire building is different when you're there, bro. Yeah, I don't know. I speak high.

Because what's up, boy? Desmond Bain, too. I just feel like he just gives them a different type of confidence. And Desmond Bain, no, you my dog, bro. I just don't know if you had the same effect on a different team. I think he's one of the players you could put, especially now in his career, you could put him on another.

You're talking about in the beginning, though. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Like, playing with Jai helped me. Nah, that turned him up. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? I ain't going to say Gabe, but you know what I'm saying? Helped him solidify his career early, for sure.

Yeah. No doubt. He went Jared Jackson Jr., for sure. Like, the benefits of playing with players like him, bro. Nah. That turned him up. That's crazy, man. Jai Moran going crazy. Shout out to the Grizzlies.

What do they need to put them over at home for? Even put them in Denver Nuggets, Milwaukee Bucks? Cam Johnson. Hmm. They get Cam Johnson. And they tried to before. They get Cam Johnson. They a real team.

For sure. Because they already good. They second in the west Right now They competing at a high level They get Cam Johnson Another wing To solidify

You see You can see championship Ooh And they right there Everybody healthy I'm just I don't They just play well

Against Boston I don't know if they could Beat them in a seven game series But I think they could Win the west They get Cam Johnson. Everybody stay healthy. Right now, the Thunder

and the Grizzlies are one and two. In a seven-game series, both teams healthy. Who y'all got? Thunder and Grizzlies? If they trade for Cam Johnson. I got the Grizz. I would go Grizzlies, too. As good as I got the Grizz. I would go versus two.

Because as good as I think SGA is, I think that in the playoff series, Jai would be the one to take that over. It'd be very interesting to see. Very, very interesting to see. But I think that...

I'm doing nothing. Y'all ain't gonna lie. You're on with the Thunder? I mean, that big of guys. You've been rolling with them. I don't know, bro. Who the fuck gonna guard Chet? Who gonna guard the youngster with the fro?

That's Darren Jackson Jr. Darren Jackson Jr. going to have to hold down the paint. He going to have to guard. Oh, you said light? Sham God. He can guard Chet. He can guard Chet. Okay.

On that ring room. Not around that perimeter, bro. And then when Big Edie get back, for real, for real. That's a fire ass matchup, though. That's a hell of a series. If they got Cam Johnson. If they don't got Cam Johnson, I got the thunder. If they can trade to get Cam Johnson, I know it probably won't happen.

But you got to give up somebody then, bro. Who you giving up? They want picks. Some of them young guys. They got a new bench. Yeah, you're going to have to give up picks. I like Scottie Pippen Jr. game so much, though. For sure.

Underrated pickup for them. I know he don't always play so much, though. For sure. Underrated pickup for them. I know he don't always play, but Jay Huff was a good offseason pickup for them. I had a patience when I was looking at him. I was pissed we didn't get him. That boy can shoot.

Nah, straight up. That's what Pippen get him, bro, in 20 minutes a night. It's 48 minutes in the game, bro. It's needed, bro. That shit needed. He like they new Tyrus Jones. He play well.

Yeah. He don't really turn it over. Play well. Marcus Smart, playing for his solution, man. The Grizzlies is a solid team, man. We know what John can do. He move the needle every time, for sure.

Spurs beat the Pelicans yesterday, 121 to 116. Went between 25 and 10, certain slight. But, hey, man, shout out to CP3. Second place all-time in assists, man. A whole lot of assists, boy.

Crazy. He really number one. John Stockman shit. He played it, ain't he? John Stockman shit. The allegations, man. A whole lot of siss, boy. Crazy. He really number one. John Stockman shit. Inflated, ain't it? John Stockman shit is cap, bro. Yeah, something here is his cap. That's crazy, bro. You know what's funny? Because we always used to look at that list and be like, bro, ain't nobody ever catching John Stockman, bro.

As many years as niggas played and as good as they were, it's like nobody was ever going to come close. Now that's crazy that we getting real about that, bro. I wonder why that's not a thing for real, though. That kind of went under the rug. Yeah, it kind of like, yeah, we didn't play to his stats, but I will. And you know what the interesting part about that is? We didn't start hearing that shit until after he started saying he wasn't

fucking with none of that COVID stuff either. So I wonder, you know what I'm saying, the timing that's real interesting for me. He was a killer, though. Shout out to him. Stop it, Lee, bro. But them playing with them numbers like that, bro, that's kind of interesting. I've seen him in killer, though. Shout out to John Stockton. Nah, he lead, bro. But them playing with them numbers like that, bro, that's kind of interesting. I've seen him in person, bro.

Balls, but he is a lot bigger than what I know. Yeah, bro. He like 6'3", bro. Yeah, he not small. I've seen him in LA. I swear to God, bro, at a restaurant. And I was, I did not know, like, and he not no little motherfucker.

I said, bro, there's no way that's him. That's what I thought until I walked up on him and I said, uh, nigga,

tell him. I'm like, you're a little white dude, can't guard nobody and shit. He bigger than me. Everybody think he built like Steve Nash. Nah,

he legit 6'4". But Steve Nash like 6'3". Yeah, but I'm saying he's bigger than Steve Nash, Nah. He legit 6'4". But Steve Nash like 6'3". Yeah. But I'm saying he's bigger than Steve Nash, bro. Like, damn near body slim, a motherfucker type shit, bro. Yeah, because Paul, I remember watching some of the dreams he saw.

I was like, damn, why ain't that nigga John Stockley? That nigga's leg definition was crazy. I was like, oh, that's how y'all be killing, bro. So him locking up, guarding chest up players like that, I'm like, damn. He probably really was on that for real.

I used to whoop shit, too. Child's John Stockley. I'm not gonna put no sweat on you, though. That's how I felt about Bibby when I first seen, damn. He probably really was on that for real. I used to whoop shit, too. Child's John Stockton. I thought he was a small guard. Then you see him, he walk up here. Damn. Nah, he taller than me. Nah, he's bigger than that, bro. I ain't boy shit.

Damn, man. But shout out to CP, man. Like you said, that's really number one. The allegation is this. CP been going crazy a long time. Where's your favorite CP, man. Like you said, that's really number one. Nah, hell yeah. The allegation is this. CP been going crazy a long time. What's your favorite CP? Damn. What spot?

Yeah, that was hard. I was like, damn, that's what made me notice who Chris Paul was. Then he went to Wake Forest, and he was exciting to watch there. It made me want to go to Wake Forest. Then when he got to the league, I was at Wake Forest. He was with New Orleans. Nah, he was nasty. I was saying, I would sleep on David West.

He made me a fan. And listen, bro, I know people be saying a lot how they feel about Chris Paul. But regardless, Chris Paul's one of the coaches yeah basketball one of the coaches first ballot one of the best PGs to ever play basketball

don't ever get it fucked up I ain't gonna lie him in New Orleans bro I try to mimic his game bro he was called snake in the pick and roll how to steal the basketball all that shit

I took all that stuff from him so he definitely was an influence on my game then when I got to the league you know he start figuring different stuff out start watching film from him. He definitely was an influence on my game. Then when I got to the league, he started figuring different stuff out. He started watching film on other guys, but CP was like

the guy I tried to take a lot of stuff from. He was cool. Shout out to CP3, man. Rockets beat the Clipshakes 117-106. Jalen Green 31. Thompson twin 22-8. The Thompson twin cold bro mhm

I ain't mad at you for that, bro. Thompson, Whitmore. I see what they doing. And the scary part about it is I was reading some stuff online about Ken Whitmore.

They were just like, you know, they showing a young talent because now they got so many people that at some point somebody will have to move. And they got the talent. They got the draft capital. And they got so many people that at some point somebody will have to move. And they got the talent, they got the draft capital, and they got a little bit of bread. They go get somebody to pair up with that team and make them a serious contender

with the West and keep that young talent too. So that's dangerous to have them type, that many type of players and where it's a premium on them type of players, bro. I see what they doing though.

Yeah. They getting all those wings like Boston did. Getting tall, versatile wings. Mm-hmm. And play, All of them play 2-4. Can match up with people. I see what they're doing.

Yeah. Come on, man. Keep it going, bro. Come on, man. Tank even harder. No limit tank, bro. That's crazy. Going to the Utah Jazz is crazy.

Fuck Cooper. It is what it is, bro. He might go to the Wizards, though. I don't know if that's better. I'd rather be in Washington, though. Oh, we would most definitely rather be. I think I'd rather see Cooper in Utah. New Balance wants Cooper in Utah.

I mean, you know, for business-wise, I'm just talking from my personal off the court. I'd rather be in Washington. Utah to handle your business, for sure. You know, it's always the offseason. Most definitely. But I just, I don't know. I think Cooper going to go somewhere. He need to go somewhere

where he can be a great third option or some shit like that. I don't know if he just ready to come in and y'all give him the ball and expect him to move. He cannot go to Washington.

Yeah, he's done. Don't send him to Washington. I'm just, y'all just said the two. I mean, if he goes to. I'm just thinking

of the worst two teams. Yeah. Is Toronto still garbage? No, they didn't. Send them to Portland. Portland wouldn't be bad. Send them to Portland. No, Portland is cool.

Good coach, too. Yeah, great coach. No expectations. Go Hoop, bro. Great city. They embrace their own. Good fan base. Yeah.

Yeah, they embrace their own for sure. You see him in the D.C., boy, right now. What they got going on? He'll be out the league three years, boy. One weekend with J.P., my boy will be out the league, man. Nah, J.P. be hooping, dog. Killing it. Hey, we're going to talk about my boy, too.

Hey, drowning in the pool. That's a funny-ass celebration, bro. Bro, he's doing whatever he wants to in the NBA now, and I'm fucking with it. I am, too. Champion. Y'all see me here? Fuck it. It is what it is.
