This kind of starts that a little bit, man. We met them at their homes. We met them at their recording studios. Stories matter, and it brings a face to them. It makes it real.

Starting point is 00:02:22 Good morning. Happy Monday. It's 5.20 in the morning. Your favorite sports show. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells. Full house this morning. Happy Monday. It's 520 in the morning, your favorite sports show. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells. Full house this morning. We got Bishop in the building, Teague in the building, 520 Mook in the building. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? What's happening? What's happening, bro? What's happening?
Starting point is 00:02:35 What up? What up? It's a good basketball weekend, man. But first, man, in IL's situation, we talked about it on the pod dropping today at 12 p.m. tap in. But Mook, did you see uh former tennessee qb he held him out of practice man saying if y'all ain't got what i want i need a little bit more i'm about the dough so he is moving on from tennessee i wanted to ask both y'all this uh from both sides of you guys being players and also being coaches in the situation now um should we have more uh emphasis on the people or these agents out here because we see a lot of NIL voters now because this is a new avenue for them to get money. But making kids make bad decisions.
Starting point is 00:03:10 I'm not going to say make, but influencing them to make bad decisions or quick money decisions. Should they be held more accountable in these situations? I mean, yeah, but what can you really do to them? It's up to the kid and the parents. I really don't see why they need an agent in the negotiation in college. I mean, you can make that choice on your own. You and your parents can work that out. I really don't see why they need an agent at that point.
Starting point is 00:03:31 They just, like you said, getting a cut for no reason, really. Kind of in the league, too. I mean, sometimes an agent can help you in pro, connect little dots, but I really don't see the point in college, bro. Yeah, it's to the point now you got high school agencies for high school kids. Yeah, I don't know. For what, bro? What you need an agent for in high school, bro?
Starting point is 00:03:49 I mean, to me, I just feel like you got to, whatever you feel like is good enough for you. I think $2 million. I don't know this kid, but I'm pretty sure $2 million is pretty enough money for him to be comfortable in school. But your rep sacks you for $4 million. Now you left out the draw. They moved on from you. I'm sure you're going to comfortable in school. But your rep sacks you for $4 million. Now you left out to dry. They moved on from you. I'm sure you're going to get another school. You're a quality quarterback.
Starting point is 00:04:10 But at some point, it's like, damn, do I enjoy playing the game? Am I having fun with my teammates? Do I like being here? Or is it really about the money? Yeah. Because what if you do that? You try to get the $4 million. They try to give you $2.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Now what if your number get lowered now? What are you like? Ain't nobody about to give you do that you try to get the four million they try to give you two now what if your number get lowered now what are they like ain't nobody about to give you the money you want he's going to give you two but now since you ain't take that now
Starting point is 00:04:32 we're going to give you we're going to give you one now you know what I'm saying you might mess up your value if it don't work in your favor that's what I said last week bro all that shit is a joke man
Starting point is 00:04:40 doing too much and it's fucking you up for the future to me it can yeah these NFL teams going to look at you like man he's a joke, man. Doing too much. And it's fucking you up for the future, to me. It can, yeah. Because the NFL team is going to look at you like, man, he's a diva. We might not even want to deal with that.
Starting point is 00:04:50 You got to make sure you're worth it if you're going to be doing all that. You better be LeBron James or whoever if you're going to be acting like that. And these people, these reps, people are not going to be here if you don't get drafted either. They're moving on to the next kid. For sure. Interesting counterpoints to that, though. I've been seeing That was just like
Starting point is 00:05:05 Well in this situation You look at all the last Recent hot picks in the draft And especially ones in the pros They all transferred Look at the Joe Burrells People like that They all transferred
Starting point is 00:05:14 They was like Hey it ain't wrong to move schools But now you in the situation What if another school Just hate on you And want to get you Up out that conference Oh yeah we gonna offer you this
Starting point is 00:05:22 Alright nevermind Backdoor you Now you ain't got nothing Yeah Yeah that is a hell of a situation Man hopefully it works out For the kid for sure you about that conference. Oh, yeah, we're going to offer you this. All right, never mind. Back door you. Now, you ain't got nothing. Yeah, that is a hell of a situation, man. Hopefully, it works out for the kid for sure. I'm just like, to that point, I would rather just, like, if you comfortable at that school, like, just make the most at that school.
Starting point is 00:05:38 I think Joe Burrow on them, they wasn't playing. Yeah, you moving for a different reason. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the coach ain't fucking with me. I don't like this. Or it's a lot of competition in my position. Yeah. And I'm not being, I'm not moving up yeah he was the guy yeah you got to keep it about the sport bro yeah it's about the sport at the end of the day they're making too much decisions off the money and then you got to be so good where it ain't even a question if they want to like we can't lose this kid yeah like you must not been that good where that was like
Starting point is 00:06:04 okay we're not gonna to give you four. We'll try something else. It's just looking like a money grab, bro, and they're going to forget about you. Yeah. Most definitely. Like you said, the loyalty on both sides ain't there no more. Because I guarantee you, the wide receiver from Ohio State, when he walk in there and he's like, hey, coach, man,
Starting point is 00:06:22 I think I might, I guarantee they're going to find that money. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like you said, keep the main thing the main thing for sure. But speaking of somebody who made a great business move in college, Paige Becker signed a three-year deal with Unrivaled, a three-on-three league. That gave her some equity in the league as well, man.
Starting point is 00:06:39 She's going to make more money playing in that league than she will. As the number one pick, it's slated for her to make about $80,000 as the number one pick potentially. She slated for her to make about $80,000 as the number one pick, potentially. She got equity and a nice bag, man. Shout out to her for making some smart moves. We talk about all the college kids all the time. She suffered a major injury in college and bounced back, won the chip. Now she got a little bit of money in the league, man.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I think that's going to be the next thing for the W. Yeah, I mean, this is basically their summer league. So they can play ball all year round in the States. So that's cool, man. I'm glad. Who's the girls that put it together? Brianna Stewart. Yeah, Brianna Stewart and the other light-skinned chick.
Starting point is 00:07:16 My bad for not remembering her name, but they put that league together. Defensive college, there we go. Yeah, they put that league together, and that's a smart move by them. It's quality basketball And now they getting Some of the better players To play in it All they need is Kaitlyn Clark now
Starting point is 00:07:30 If they can get her To play in it That league gonna be It's gonna be lit It might be better than a W I like Like I said I watched it bro
Starting point is 00:07:38 It was Kept me tuned in bro They was hooping Yeah and it shows A different light to them You get to see more Of their personality and vision They get to show their
Starting point is 00:07:45 marketing skills off the court as well. I like it, man. That's dope. And for her to get equity in that now, yeah. And you get to see they bag, though. No offense to the WNBA, but it's hard to watch girls because they play so
Starting point is 00:08:02 under control. They play the right way. Yeah, and you throw it into the post to see bigs get the ball, bigs do their up and unders and stuff. And in the three-on-three league, now the bigs get to go out there and dribble, show their handles a little bit. They got to be able to beat their men one-on-one. They not just sitting ball
Starting point is 00:08:18 screens the whole time. And you get to see, like, dang, all these girls can hoop. Yeah, like when I seen Angel Reese bringing up the ball and doing moves, I'm like, the hell? I thought you just shot layups or whatever. So, like, to get to see that whole game and expand that game in that three-on-three league is pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Yeah, it's more entertaining. For sure. They putting that on TV or YouTube? No, it's on TV. It's on TV? Yeah. It was on TNT. Damn.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yeah, allegedly the first year they grossed about 30 M's from the situation, which is dope because, like you said, some of their biggest names in the W haven't even tapped in yet. Yeah. So this league can definitely grow for sure, man. But shout out to her for getting that. Last but certainly not least, man, Ironman team, all NBA. We got a couple guys who play all 82 games, which I think is crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:03 We go through the list, man. You got Jared Allen, Harrison Barnes, Buddy Hill, Mikael Bridges. He'll never take a day off. He ain't never missed a game. Nikhil Walker-Alexander, Jalen Green, Chris Paul. OG played all damn year, man. Turned up Malik Beasley, Bub Carrington. Got Jalen Champagne, the last of certain I'll leave, Jaden McDaniels, man.

Starting point is 00:09:43 Right. Whoever made this list, You're a fucking loser bro I mean it's tough to do though It is It's tough like Staying healthy and all that Healthy play It's impressive
Starting point is 00:09:51 Cause you ain't get hurt or nothing That's why I'm more impressed With like they ain't roll That ankle or nothing That's impressive That's pretty But if you can play Yeah bro it's crazy
Starting point is 00:09:58 And some of these dudes Are starters Yeah Like Chris Paul Playing that long Is impressive That's crazy My like
Starting point is 00:10:04 Damn what's my boyfriend The Knicks Mikel Bridges Like playing what some players like Chris Paul playing that long is impressive that's crazy I'm like damn what's my boy from the Knicks McKell like playing what six seven years straight that's insane he never rolled an ankle thigh contusion
Starting point is 00:10:13 nothing bro take a day off bro you deserve it bro you play on the Knicks bro T.S. we run him into the ground bro he gets paid a lot of money if I could play
Starting point is 00:10:22 every game I'll play every game he gets paid a lot of money bro but it's just crazy that he bro. If I could play every game, I'll play every game. Yes, bro. He gets paid a lot of money, bro. But it's just crazy that he never had an ankle sprain or nothing, man. Shout out to him. How you feeling about him subbing in the game? Starting off, getting the foul, six seconds of this, subbing out for the rest of the game to keep his streak going.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Yes. Keep my streak alive, bro. He acting like you. Yes. I could have played. Hit the road. Remember how I did it. But they'll show that I did it.
Starting point is 00:10:43 That's crazy, man. Hey, keep my streak alive bro that's fine oh listen man crazy crazy game yesterday clippers took care of the warriors 124 to 119 to ot they clinched the 5c knocked the warriors down to the seven man they will take care with the grizzlies on tuesday but man this was a crazy game please tell me y'all watch this yeah i saw a little bit of it for sure. Yeah, man. Insane game for James Harden. Ventures 39-10-7.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Kawhi looking like playoff. Kawhi again, man, with 33-76. Big Zoo balled out with 22-17. Steph went crazy with 36-6. And Jimmy had 30-9 yesterday. Aw, man, please run a clip of James Harden, man. What he did in OT at this game was crazy. But my boy was cooking yesterday, man.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Well, I was putting them boys in a blender, too. Wow. Two threes in a row, OT going crazy. That's tough, man. That's a hell of a shot. Never miss the playoffs, man. The thing about James Harden and his team, they got the blueprint to win the West.
Starting point is 00:11:51 The reason I say that is because Kawhi Leonard is really healthy. He's full strength again. And I seen him when he made a move yesterday, reverse pivot jab, went left and tried to dunk and got fouled. And I said, oh, yeah. He bad. Oh, yeah. The nigga's in the blender. And I said, oh, yeah. move yesterday reverse pivot jab went left and tried to dunk and got fouled and i said oh yeah oh yeah the blender that's all yeah yeah he's healthy and we're tired he's been resting really all year bro he's cool why healthy bro he top five player in the nba yeah and yesterday it showed he was carrying the team everybody put on him bro him, bro, he torched them.
Starting point is 00:12:25 It didn't matter. He get to his spots, bro. It looked like he playing against nobody. Yeah. Like he playing by himself just doing drills. He's so impressive defensively. He's so strong. He can guard one through four.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Kawhi Leonard at his best is probably one of the top two, top three players in the league. And he looks like he at his best right now, so the Clippers got a chance. The only problem the Clippers might have is if James Harden starts turning the ball over. That's the only thing that can make him lose. Yeah, that's success, right? Yeah, like if he starts doing the James Harden. I'm just saying, you know the James Harden shit where he just starts throwing it randomly in.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Yeah. In the playoffs and shit. If he keep playing like he played last night, I mean, I don't expect him to get 39 or whatever, but just keeping it kind of simple. Chris Dunn is like a solid player for him, too. He kind of slows them down. He chills them out, and I think they all respect him
Starting point is 00:13:18 because when he talks to them, they kind of respond. But if they can keep James Harden's turnovers down, I can see them coming out the West. Man, shout out to Chris Dunn, probably his finest But listen, man, look at the minutes yesterday Cuape, 47 minutes Yeah, it's time, you've been resting, bro It's a tough matchup, man
Starting point is 00:13:33 I'll see his work-life balance, he said, hey, just let me chew I got y'all when it matters Has he earned the right to use his PTO? No, bro He has He get a little PTO, bro He didn't put in his dudes, bro Relax, get us there in the playoffs I know if I'm healthy, what time it is, bro. He has. Talk to him. He get a little PTO, bro. He didn't put in his dudes, bro. Relax.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Get us there in the playoffs. I don't know if I'm healthy. What time it is, bro? Just chill out. I'm just glad to see he healthy for real. Me too. Yeah. Shout out Kawhi, bro.
Starting point is 00:13:53 I think they the... We used to talk about duos. We so used to Kawhi being out. Him healthy and looking like he did yesterday. Where is his duo now? James Harden, Kawhi Leonard. Is it better than the PG and Kawhi? Oh, of course.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Yeah. Hell yeah. That's James Harden, bro. Definitely. Okay. Right now, I don't know. I don't know. Healthy?
Starting point is 00:14:18 Oof. That's a tough combo. That's a fire duo, though. It's one of the best. It's playoff run going to show. I like that duo. I like that duo beating Brian and Luka.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Okay, you cooking this morning? Nah, right now. Because Brian 50. He is. I ain't saying. Kawhi can guard Luka. I just want to see James keep cooking in the playoffs. James and Luka kind of cancel each other out.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Obviously, Luka better because he younger. He can do more. But, like, they both going to get you. They can get you similar stats on any given night. So, you're saying Kawhi, he going to outdo Bron right now? Right now. I can see that. Right now.
Starting point is 00:14:59 I don't know what's really wrong with Kawhi. It's just injuries for me. That's it. That's a hat. But, playoff Kawhi versus 40-year-old Bron. I'm rolling with Kawhi. Yeah, he should be able to get that one done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Now, 10 years ago, Bron, it ain't close. I'm excited to see what my boy Jamal Murray do, though. Ricky Maul. Shout out to the IG story. Yeah. I ain't rolling with that duo no more I don't like that Memphis duo I don't like that being that high
Starting point is 00:15:30 Shout out to Chet and J Boy they down as you Chet Chet and SJ being that And J Dub is kind of crazy Chet is better than J Dub Let's go baby Shout out to whoever made this list He the weak link of the whole list.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Cat. Chet or Triple J? Chet. Chet. I got Clippers coming out the West. Triple J is better than Chet. Oh, no. I thought you meant who better.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Y'all got the Clippers coming out the West? You know I would love to, bro. They definitely got a chance, but I just don't know if James Harden going. I know. It's all depending on James Harden. That big country form, motherfucker, is on the other side, bro. Yeah. It's different, boy. Y'all is just different. Let's all depending on James Harden. That big country form, motherfucker, is on the other side, bro. It's different, boy. Jokic is different. Let's look
Starting point is 00:16:07 ahead to this matchup. 4-5. You got Clippers Nuggets. But see, they got Zubat. Clippers Nuggets. I love... Can't guard Jokic at all, but... Jokic can't guard him. Can't guard him. They gonna put him in pick and roll. You know what they gonna do? They gonna pick and roll him to death, and then they gonna
Starting point is 00:16:23 ISO. Can't none of them stay in front of James Harden. I watched Gary Payton. I watched all these people try to stay in front of James Harden. He got that little hesitation still. Even though he older, he still get by his man. And that lob, Zubac is catching that lob every time. Or he hitting that little floater. That is true.
Starting point is 00:16:39 They're going to make Yogi's play. Yogi's going to have to go. He's going to be in 1,000 pick and rolls. And you know who else is going to be in them pick and rolls? MPJ. MPJ. You're going to get some switches, my boy. So, Bron won't be on.
Starting point is 00:16:53 He won't be on. Who's going to guard Kawhi? Christian Brown. Aaron Gordon. Y'all going to get a bunch of switches. MPJ will be seeing that island. Get the boat ready. Yeah, y'all might as well get ready to load up because mpj you are on that island
Starting point is 00:17:07 yeah i mean i'll fuck with your tape boy but i don't know bro jamal murray if he killed bro with yokers bro it's he might get ugly bro chris dunn a dog they gonna kill they gonna play well but they have to guard i think chris dunn will have to go. I think Chris Dunn can. Jamal Murray going to have to guard. I think Chris Dunn can X Jamal Murray out a little bit. He can slow him down. He can slow him down. Chris Dunn, he locks in. Yeah, I see how he guards. He only out there to guard, bro.
Starting point is 00:17:33 And my boy Norman Powell, he got a clip. If MPC's getting 15 plus a game, he is. It's going to get. He too open. You got to double Kawhi. You got to double James Harden. If you just let them play, they going to shred you. too open. You got to double Kawhi. You got to double James Harden. If you just let them play, they going to shred you.
Starting point is 00:17:47 My only problem is... I told you. I think that might go seven. And then I seen Ben Simmons come in giving quality minutes. Offensive board and shit. This is where he can make a little push right here with Ben Simmons. If he get out here and kill, re-sign him. Bogey. Bogey. I see him
Starting point is 00:18:03 out there. He might kill. I'm telling you. They got the squad. If Ben Simmons kill, y'all all got to wear jerseys for a week straight. If Ben Simmons kill, bro, we'll get a Clipper jersey for sure. I said he might have a moment. All y'all just get 10, bro. He might have a moment.
Starting point is 00:18:20 If he get 10 in one of these games, I'm getting a business card. Wait till next year to see my boy come back. I ain't talking about 10 points. He might get 10 rebounds. 5 points. He's going to get his 10 points one game? points. He might get 10 rebounds. I'm saying he go get his 10 points one game. Nah, five points, 10 rebounds. I don't know what we can find with those guys. See how I'm being they wishy-washy, man. I said give them to next year.
Starting point is 00:18:32 I said, hell nah, it's over now. I just seen him get some quality offensive rebounds. Awesome. Seen him pass up a wide open layup for a behind-the-back pass, too. My nigga didn't even came up. What did I expect this nigga to do in 10 minutes? What did you expect to do in 10 minutes? What did you expect to do in 10 minutes?
Starting point is 00:18:47 You got two points. Sight, two fouls. Yeah. I'm six points in 10 minutes, bro. All right. Moving on from the Clippers. I'm in the passing lane. It's three layups, bro.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Come on, man. For the Warriors, does it say anything about losing this game for them? Because Harrison Barnes, you know, that game winner set them back. They was looking comfortable.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Now they are in the play-in. Nah, I mean, they probably going to win the play-in. Okay. Who they play first? Rockets. If they win the play-in, they will be playing the Rockets. No, they play Memphis. In the play-in.
Starting point is 00:19:20 They play Memphis tomorrow, right? Yeah, I think they going to handle Memphis. See, that's bullshit, bro. They should beat Memphis, though. But I'm saying we both play. How is that? That's not fair. Bro, we have the same record.
Starting point is 00:19:33 That's why I hate to play in, bro. Why do you hate to play in? Because how do two saddest teams get a chance to play twice? No, they don't get a chance to play twice. So if A loses, the Grizzlies will play the winner between the Kings and the Mavericks for the last spot. So they get a chance actually to upgrade in this situation. Because if they win, then they go to seven. But if they lose, they get to play the winner between the Kings and Mavs in the one-off.
Starting point is 00:19:56 And I kind of like it, though, because it makes the last games of the regular season kind of matter. Like that last night was good basketball. It was like one of the best games of the year, actually. But like you got a chance to watch basketball i remember you know the teams that solidified their playoff spot don't play nobody yeah we watched brownie play last night and nothing wrong with watching brownie play but it's just like that's just a throwaway game whatever so it was good to at least see some quality basketball for the last game of the season just an early start to the playoffs bro it is man you know can the season. Just an early start to the playoffs, bro. It is, man.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Can the Warriors put any fear or heart in the Rockets? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Okay. All right, let's move on. Hey, man. AE went crazy yesterday. Season finale.
Starting point is 00:20:38 43-P, something slight. Took care of the Jazz. 116-105. Secured that 6-E. I know they had a shaky season, my boy. But you know what I'm saying? They finished out top six. They did not finish in the play-in. Shout secured that sixth seed. I know they had a shaky season, my boy, but you know what I'm saying? They finished out top six. They did not finish in the play-in. Shout out to AE.
Starting point is 00:20:47 He had 43 yesterday, 18 in the third, and he got the record yesterday, three-point champ. How many did he have? I think he had 312 or something crazy like that. Crazy, man. Yeah, they locked in and got it together, man, towards the end of the season. But I still don't believe, man. You still don't believe, still don't believe man all
Starting point is 00:21:06 right man how would you rate his season uh they say he's having one of the best seasons in timberwood history man franchise record for most points in the season he averaged 27 five and five and hit over 300 threes man okay we just keep getting better man hopefully we can clean up all the shit that's you know outside news but he's going to be one of the best players in the league for a long time. Did you see the child support chance? Yeah. At the free throw line? See, he was smiling.

Starting point is 00:21:49 I like the Lakers Yeah I like the Lakers Lakers in six or Lakers in seven Lakers in six I mean I don't know though I don't know Rudy been hooping The last two months
Starting point is 00:22:05 Yeah If JR If JR catch a gear It could be a good series I don't think They gonna sweep him Nah But they could go six
Starting point is 00:22:14 Okay They gonna win They could go six For sure Please load up the clip Of the reporter asking AE about 2K After the game
Starting point is 00:22:24 That shit is absolutely hilarious. Are you playing strictly as yourself? No, I ain't going to lie. I'm using the Celtics. And that's why you love him. Because you expect him to say, of course, I use myself on 2K. He said, nah, I cheat. I use the Celtics. He kept, nah, I cheat. I use Celtics.
Starting point is 00:22:46 He kept it real, man. Celtics silly. Yeah, I hate people who play video games and get the best teams. You're not really good if you do that, bro. I'm getting the best team, bro. They are on the game. Moog, that's crazy, bro. No, it's not, bro.
Starting point is 00:22:57 It does not show skill if you go get the best team on the game, bro. I want to win the game, bro. I'm getting the best team. Flat out. I'm here to win the game, bro. I'm getting the best team, flat out. I'm here to win. Speaking about the Celtics, is Jason Tatum and Brown a better duo than James Harden? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:14 We the champs, bro. They ain't old. Only reason I said they better than LeBron and Luka because LeBron old. Jason Tatum, though, they 26. They ain't they prime. I mean, Luka 25. But LeBron old. Let's tell them, though, they 26. They ain't LeBron. I mean, Luka 25. But LeBron 40. It ain't Luka, it's LeBron, bro. LeBron 40.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I think y'all might have LeBron fucked up. No, we don't. LeBron is LeBron, bro. He the GOAT, but he's just 40. He's old, bro. And we comparing him to Hall of Fame players at 40. You're 22. James Harden's a Hall of Famer.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Kawhi Leonard's a Hall of Famer. He just 40. He just 40. He just 40. That's the only problem, that he's 40. Everything else is brawn. If he 20, 10 years ago, brawn. Five years ago, brawn. Just 40, bro.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Three years ago, brawn. He's still at an elite level, bro. He's still a brawn. He is. Y'all can't shut him down because his age, bro. The nigga probably still average like 24 points a game 23 some shit like that Yeah of course
Starting point is 00:24:08 He's LeBron That's LeBron James Yeah Average 24, 7, 8 Still elite But like Okay so it's fire We've never seen
Starting point is 00:24:17 LeBron pull his groin And be hurt Just like Oh shit Like he just Went for a ball Like ah That ain't never happened to him Oh shit This He just went for a ball. That ain't never happened to him. This don't count for Kawhi though.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Because he didn't play half the season. And he still averaged 20. But if you put James Harden and Kawhi in their primes, that's a different conversation. Yeah, that's crazy. These duels, shit, they for sure not better than them two though. Nah, they ain't better than the young guns. No, I'm saying if, shit if James Harden and Kawhi
Starting point is 00:24:46 and they prime versus Luka and they prime. Ron and Luka better. I'm taking them over JT and JB though. And they prime Harden and Kawhi. Ah yeah, that ain't fair. If it works, shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:01 If you took Houston from that Kawhi from That San Antonio team And put him straight With that Houston James Harden Yeah they They fucking league up That's a fact Alright
Starting point is 00:25:11 For sure Alright man Play in starts tomorrow We'll go more in depth But just a general conversation Warriors or Grizzlies Who y'all picking Warriors
Starting point is 00:25:19 Taking Warriors Yeah Alright Yeah I'm gonna go Grizzlies Fuck it Going with the Grizzlies We on playback with it. Come on the show, boy.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Live broadcast. Please tap into playback. We will have a ball in there. Real basketball on the way. Also, I want to ask y'all a preliminary question. Y'all still got time to change for tomorrow. Hawks and Magic. Magic.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Taking the magic. Two. Yeah. I'm assuming you're going to ATL. Yeah. I've only been to Orlando twice Give me ATL I know how many times I've been to Orlando
Starting point is 00:25:51 Don't know about the other one Winner of this game We'll face the Celtics So get well soon It don't matter Y'all want to extend y'all season A week longer Go vacation man it's cool Say about the dust either one of y'all want to extend y'all season a week longer? Go vacation, man.
Starting point is 00:26:05 It's cool. Save out the dust either one of y'all. Sweet. I don't even think I'll tell them about some games. It's going to be built to ass immediately for sure. Yeah, they probably going to be on NBA TV. For sure. Let's go ahead and just blow up the whole bracket, man.
Starting point is 00:26:19 We got plenty of time, but this is just funny to go through offhand. What's the most intriguing matchup for y'all y'all see on there so far? Because I think that Nuggets Clippers series is going to be crazy. I definitely think that Pacers Bucks series will be crazy as well. I'm excited to see Knicks and Pistons, but I feel like the Knicks going to put belts ass at some point. But I would love to see Cade Cunningham coming out party. Nah, the most intriguing series
Starting point is 00:26:45 for me right now is the Pacers versus Bucs. Mm. I like the Clippers and the Nuggets. That's going to be a fire series. But that Pacers versus Bucs
Starting point is 00:26:56 series is exciting because y'all beat them without a healthy Giannis. And Giannis is on a tear right now. He is. I'm not a first round guy. I'm is on a tear right now. He is. I'm not a first-round guy. I'm more of a second-round.
Starting point is 00:27:09 That's when you get the best. Giannis can beat the Pacers by himself? No. That's why I'm intrigued. I want to see if he can. I think so. I think Giannis is going to average a 30-point triple-double. If he do that, they're going to win.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Oh, yeah, they're going to win. The biggest problem is, for me, is Milwaukee bench is going to have to be super consistent because our bench is. Yeah. And while Giannis is a fucking superstar, one of the best players ever, we got two all-stars that can contribute to match his. It's going to be about everybody else.
Starting point is 00:27:36 And if we're going to base on benches, I like our chances with ours. Our raw players show up, especially at home. Us having home court advantage make a hell of a difference. If we didn't, I wouldn't feel as confident saying that, but Giannis is going to do historic shit to us. The Pacers should win, though. Most definitely. I agree. I'm excited to see what KPJ do in the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:27:54 There's been a lot of slander, like he's not going to do nothing in the playoffs. He's been hooping on the low. Yeah, he's been hooping. Nah, he's been contributing for sure. I'd love to see how Bobby Porter's bounced back, too. I was about to say, Bobby Porter, they got a to say Bobby poor they got up yeah they're not weak not by no means I've been playing a super super high level I'm excited
Starting point is 00:28:12 actually yeah see they're going six I ain't gonna lock us here that going seven seven bro I can see six we got smoke and we'd be going back and forth and we also play dumbass basketball whenever we play each other. So I can see that going seven for sure, man. But it'd be a great series. Y'all just going to hoop out. That's too long. The Knicks just slacking.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Somebody need to win in five. In five? Nah, it's quiet for the five piece. It's quiet. That's dead. Knicks, yeah. I wonder how that's going to go, man. I want the Pistons to just play out of body.
Starting point is 00:28:43 They young and they got shit to lose, man. Make it a series. Knicks got to win, man. I want the Pistons to just play out of body. They young and they got shit to lose, man. Make it a series. Knicks got to win, bro. I don't see that. I agree. They lose some people losing their jobs. They got to smack them, really. Yeah, it's quiet for me, bro, with the Knicks, Pistons.
Starting point is 00:28:57 I'm about to hear about that. They probably need to get them out of there in five, bro. The Lakers-Timberwolves matchup is going to be exciting, too. Just because of AE. We know that they're not going to win. But AE is just an exciting player. The Lakers Timberwolves Matchup Gonna be exciting too Just cause AE We know that They not gonna win But AE Just an exciting player
Starting point is 00:29:09 So we might see them Go for a 45 50 point game Oh yeah Just to make it fun And exciting We know we all think The Lakers gonna win
Starting point is 00:29:16 But He gonna have to turn To Allen Iverson In 2000 It be good for TV though Yeah game 3 AE at the crib Yeah he's gonna put up 50
Starting point is 00:29:24 It's gonna be It's on the way Yeah It's going up for sure Oh he got that, game three, AE at the crib. Yeah, he's going to put up 50. That 50 is on the way, bro. Yeah, it's going up for sure. Oh, he got that in him, for sure. Even when the playing game, you know, it's going to be OD. That Kings-Mavis game is going to mess around and be good. Hell no. Bro, Zach Levine, bro, is about to go off.
Starting point is 00:29:36 He's about to wild out. The Mavis don't have nobody. Yeah. I ain't rolling with the Mavis. They dead. Yeah, they mad they got to me in the play-in. Yeah. For sure.

Starting point is 00:39:44 shaping what's next. 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.
Starting point is 00:40:26 And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, no gang ass in Super Chat. Teague, you know Kawhi could never guard Luka. That's a lie. Y'all got to watch basketball for real. Y'all might start pissing me off. When it's a good defender on him, we call a screen to get the weaker defender on you.
Starting point is 00:41:02 So when you ever go watch Luka play, the first person that's guarding him is the best defender. He always calls for a ball screen to get the weaker defender on you. So when you ever go watch Luka play, the first person that's guarding him is the best defender. He always calls for a ball screen, get the switch, and then he attack them. So to give you an example, if I'm the best defender on a team, I'm guarding Luka, he probably will call B-Hen up for a switch so he can get B-Hen and attack B-Hen. B-Hen going to foul the shit out of him.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Basketball one-on-one for you. Hey, Mook, how was it when you got that screen? Man, nigga's trying to kill me, bro.
