I think the movie is the top five Mixtapes of all time My favorite Gucci song Bricks Damn That still go crazy In the club as well It does

Even though they would never Perform a song together ever again, that was a slap for show, man, for the old heads. Listen, man, some crazy basketball took place yesterday. Let's get straight to it, man. I don't know what the hell was going on at Boston yesterday, but it was definitely a built-to-ass situation. 128 to 118.

The Celtics get two 40-point performances from Peyton Pritchard and Derek White yesterday. That shit was crazy. Please tell me y'all saw that. I caught glimpses of it. I ain't going to lie. I ain't watching. I ain't peep that.

But when I seen the stats, I had to go watch the highlights. Man, Peyton Pritchard winning sign yesterday, 43 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, 10 to 17 from three. Derek White, 41, nine from 17 from three. First time this has ever happened in Celtics history. And this didn't happen from role players that's just crazy yeah that's i think that's the biggest highlight of it that's how you know they scary bro that's how you know the nba is crazy when you got two guys

on one team shooting 17 threes at one point in the world 17 threes was like the total team yeah and they might have been wilding that night. Yeah. Especially in the 90s. For sure. That New York Knicks team never showed 16 threes. I'm done with the 90s. What's so crazy about this? If this was JB and JT, we would still be like, damn, they really went crazy.

The fact that it was Peyton Pritchard and Derek White is crazy. That team's special, man. All right, man. If Derek White's Haley Brafonte who is Peyton Pritchard so yeah we found out I'm gonna leave that one alone y'all that's B-Rad

Peyton Pritchard B-Rad Malibu's most wanted y'all could even I'm gonna give P.P. I fuck with you bro I'm gonna call you I'm gonna give you Tom I'll fuck with you, bro. I'm going to call you Tom Cruise at least. Bro out of pocket. Damn, Tom Cruise. He got flavor.

I'm saying he got flavor. Tom Cruise is smooth, bro. B-Rad was lame, bro. He wasn't lame. B-Rad was lame as hell. He tried to play me. He had bars. He was lame. Man, go to that picture. Come on.

All right, he ain't be right. Man, he ain't do a paid picture like that. I'm going to say Paul Wall. He's Paul Wall. Respect. Paul Wall. Paul Wall, Paul Walker, R.P. No, no, Paul Wall.

Paul Wall. Paul Wall. Paul Walker was swaggy, too, though. Fofos, I'm tipping. Where the best one? That's all. Shit. I don't know.

I can't remember that song. Oh, you disrespectful I remember you going to Houston Fofos I'm tipping Swish on's gonna be on your ass This nigga's locked up Free to real I'm gonna go with Mike Jones

Had the best verse Oh man I guess Oh that's tough I don't remember But Mike Jones used to get off In high school though Slump Thug had the best verse

Crack it off. Paul Wall slid two on the low. That was my favorite rapper. Slim Thug was my favorite rapper. It was an all-time. Not out of all time, but out of them, bro. Out of Houston.

Yeah. Yeah. That's an elite rap song, by the way, too. Yeah, this is a random thought, but did y'all see him on that show with the girls? My boy, the goat.

Hey, that's my type of speed. It will always be respect on this pod for Slim Thug. A thousand percent. He's a wild boy. If I would go out, I'm going out like Slim Thug. I like it because of the confidence.

He said, I mean, shoot or shoot. I was in both of y'all deals. What's happening? How they looked at it, they was like, damn, why fuck with shit? Hey, you know why he called? Because he said it's a bullshit and then we're convinced of the goal

along with the bullshit. That's why I fuck with it for it. I fuck with it. For sure. But all right, that was 520. For sure, man. Paying purchase six minutes a year, you getting 40 like this, bro.

Yeah. Fuck it, why not? I think it might be solidified him six minutes a year. I was leaning toward Malik Beasley, but he start a Why not? I think it might be solidified him six man of the year. I was leaning toward Malik Beasley, but he started a lot. But I don't know.

That's still a up in the air conversation. But Peyton Pritchard, what he's doing off the bench. Yeah, it's probably his to lose. For sure, man. Obviously,

they get this big of a win getting able to rest players, basically. Shout out to Anthony Simons who played yesterday. He had 30 piece as well. Sharp catching the stride as well with 25

and 6. Like you said, man, I know it's different of a game, but they've been playing a lot better. Trailblazers, Chauncey doing a good job with them young boys, bro. Man, that's one of my favorite teams to watch in the league. They got some exciting young players. Like you said, Simon Sharp. Couple capable bigs on their team.

They're a cool league pass team to watch, though. They're going to give you some exciting games. It wasn't a blowout game, really. No, no. It was a competitive game. Obviously, they were hot from 30, but Sharper Simons was hooping. For sure, man.

Love to the Trailblazers, for sure, man. On to the Cavs, man. First team in the NBA to clinch a playoff spot. 12-game win streak, man. Got the victory over the Heat yesterday, 112-107. Donovan Mitchell hooped out yesterday, 26-7. DG had 15-10. Bam did his thing with 34-12.

But, man, Cavs got the most winning streaks, man, besides the 06-07 Mavs. Like you said, every time they lose one game, they just go on a double-digit winning streak, man. Can Darius Garland just have 15-10? In the playoffs? No. No. Nah.

Y'all got to speak on that. What do they need from him? I mean, right now, that's all they need. But in the playoffs, Donovan Mitchell is going to be great, but Darius Garland is going to have to be great to beat the Celtics. And every time I say, every time they play the Celtics, he never plays really well. Every time I watch, he be missing little floaters

and layups and things. Stuff that he normally hit. So against the Celtics to beat them, and I think that's the team they're going to face in the Eastern Conference Finals, possibly. They're going to have to, he's going to have to play great for them to beat them. I don't think he has to be able to distribute the ball that much. Like 10 assists, I mean, that's cool, but I'm going to need to dub,

which he's very capable of getting, but you're going to have to consistently score 20. Him and Donovan Mitchell are going to have to combine for 50 points a game. So they're going to have to be playing like almost JB and Jason Tatum. Yeah, but however they want to form it, they got to combine for 50 points. If that's Donovan Mitchell getting 30, he getting 20, whatever, 25, 25. They got to combine for 50 points to be in a series with them. Or they might get swept. We just talked about Derek White and Peyton Pritchard both getting 40 apiece.

Yeah. This roster outside of Donovan, I don't think there's anybody there you would say comfortably could get me 40. I'm not saying they're going to do it on a regular, but we ain't seen that shit. They're going to have to play at a crazy level, which they can do, but they're just going to have to maintain it to beat a team like that. I just wanted to ask y'all that. That's a fair question for

sure, man. DG's definitely capable for sure, but like you said, they got to make it happen. Potential first-round matches for them. Maybe the Heat, maybe the Magic, maybe the Hawks, maybe the Bulls. We ain't worried about none of that situation for them at all. Like you said, I think they only worry about the Celtics in their conference finals right now.

I ain't going to lie, though. I think they'll beat the Magic, but that just ain't a team. With the matchups, Pablo, I know his name, Pablo. Pablo, he's a matchup nightmare. Him and Franz, I'm sure they they probably beat them in a series that's just not a first round matchup i won't because as you go on the more games you play the harder it gets so if you go into a six game series with the magic and the celtics sweep the heat or whoever they play it's like yeah the more games you add on to your body that second round matchup with them

and the Bucks or the Pacers right now it's going to be a tough matchup too that's probably going to go six or seven games

so now you get in these long drawn out series while these Celtics going to sweep through whatever they're going to do they already proved it

now you got to meet them that's just more games with risk for injury so I don't know and for sure man uh evan moby man how y'all like his um development this season is he is he like we talk about dg is he the one that got to kill as well yeah uh he got to have big games um play under kenny

he's opened up his game we looked at him as a big now we look at him as a point forward type of guy. He bring the ball up. He make plays. But Kenny Atkinson opened his game up. We all knew he was capable. Even when he was at USC we thought he was really good. But him shooting more threes like this year and playing with his

playing with the ball on perimeter. I mean he's having a hell of a year. Obviously all-star. Probably one of the most improved players in the league. For sure, man. Shout out to Evan Mobley. Yeah, I like Evan Mobley. Yeah, man.

He going to have to kill, though. Most definitely. Yeah, he got to have 20-point nights. Yeah. Not every night, but we need you. I ask that is who 20 would be more important in a series against Celtics, him or DG? DG.

Okay. Because he just fills all the voids and everything else, though. Yeah, because you can almost guarantee he's going to get 15, 15, 8, and 7, 15, 8, and 5. Yeah, that's a low line. But it's effective. Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

If there's Garland, average is 20. But on games against the Celtics, he struggles sometimes, man. Yeah. For sure. You think that's because bigger guards? For sure. You got Drew Hollett. Like like he playing against a five a switch one through five so at times he playing against Al Horford Porzingis and then if that he's not on them is drew holiday JB JT right there's girl and shorter than me that's all these dudes is six five and up yeah with size like pause but like

way 220 yeah like drew holly like 225 yeah that's you know I mean I weigh 207 drew holly 225 they're Derek White a little even. People think you on drugs. Yeah, Derek White, 6'5", 210. Yeah, that's different. But I have Olympians as their backcourt, bro. Yeah, right. Yeah, man. For sure, man. Some big guards, man.

Shout out to the Cavs. Nuggets took care of business yesterday against the Kings, 116-110. R-Dub, Russell Westbrook had 25 yesterday. John Murray had 24. Jokic had 22, 15, and 6. DeMar DeRozan went crazy with 35, 6, and 5. Zach Levine had 20. I think DeMar DeRozan is almost top 25 in scoring

or right outside of it after yesterday's performance. He's consistent, man. Shout out to the family. Yeah, one of the best scorers of all time for sure. Special talent. Yeah, I forgot exactly where. He did all that with not shooting three. That's crazy.

SGA kind of remind me of him. Yeah. Up 27 there he is. Yep. Right behind Steph. And that's somebody you wouldn't think

is up there. If you just thinking about DeMar DeRozan, you're like, damn, he really top 30 ever. And then we talking about Russ.

Ever in the NBA. Russ right there at 21, bro. Yeah, but I'm saying Russ is more high like. Yeah, the NBA. Russ right there at 21, bro. Yeah, but I'm saying Russ is more high. He was an MVP. For sure. For a player like that, DeMar DeRozan must be top 30 ever, bro. That's raw.

You never got no real high accolades in the league. If you ain't know, just from a basketball, I'm a basketball head. Obviously, I know how cold DeMar DeRozan is. But if you didn't know, you would think Jamal Crawford probably had more points than DeMar DeRozan. Yeah, that's a fact know, you would think Jamal Crawford probably had more points than DeMar. Yeah, that's a fact.

That's a fact. So shout out to DeMar for sure, bro. Just because Jamal known for getting buckets probably more than DeMar is. More bigger highlight moments, though. 50-point games, a DeMar 50-point game ain't like a Jamal Crawford 50-point game. It's different. Most definitely. That's the highlight factor.

And people discredit it because of how their seasons may end it, but DeMar DeRozan was really whooping shit in Toronto. He got more points than Iverson. Yeah, the list is crazy. My boy Robert Parrish is up there at 32. Nigga, he played 1,600 games. So what? God damn! You a legend.

Can you scroll down to the pop-up list? My uncle loved that man. I'm sure Uncle didn't know that Robert Parrish Joe Johnson up there Joe Johnson 49 Dale LaMarcus Aldridge got hella buckets Yeah bro

Robert Parrish played 1600 in big games bro See I try to water down my stats Like y'all do with Emmitt Smith Rush and Ricker Quit hatin' I'm here Bro he played more games than Bron. Hey, enough, man.

Enough. Niggas didn't know, bro. Enough, bro. So if Robert Perez would feel a way about players sitting out, it got to be respected. No. Yes, it has to. That nigga played more games than Bron. I didn't rest.

And y'all didn't know that. Y'all basketball heads. Y'all didn't know that. He played more games than Kareem. It's crazy. Nah, bro. Robert Perez from Mississippi. I'm paying today, bro. That need to be a reel, Y'all didn't know that. He'll play more games than Kareem. It's crazy. Nah, bro. Robert Parrish will miss his name. That need to be a real, y'all.

We got it. Luis, you have to show love to Robert Parrish, bro. You have to be highlighted. Shouts to my uncle, man. He love him for real. That's crazy. Y'all did not know Robert Parrish played more games than Brian. Adrian Daly did the same amount of damage.

And there were 700 less games, bro. I'm sleep, bro. That's not fair, bro. Damn, Adrian Dantley. See, y'all was mad at me because I was hating those things the other day. Adrian Dantley nasty for that, though. He really got buckets. Nigga, he did more than 1,000 games.

He was killing. I don't hire him for two, bro. He was fucking poor. You was going to work, bro. Could you scroll down to Elgin Baylor? I think you played 846. Hey, they was going to work. Yeah, niggas was hooping.

That's crazy. They was going to work, boy. Hooping in a drunken love era. Getting to it. That's crazy, man. Man, RP, man. That's what's up. For sure, man.

Y'all crazy. I don't know what's going to go happen for the Nuggets in the postseason, but them losing KCP, y'all think they kind of filled that void with Christian Brown? He's had to have a season right now. He's playing good. I mean, averaging 15. Shooting better from the third, but he's not known as a three-point shooter.

That's one thing KCP did. He made timely shots. I think Ron probably is a better player right now offensively, but his three-point shooting, I mean, he's shooting 36%. It's not bad, but I don't think he's known for that. Defensively,

he competes, but I mean, I understand why they did it. I think he can fill that void. I think he's just as good as KCP. But they just had a cool synergy with KCP. It just felt good. I mean, they won a championship together. Most definitely.

Shout out to the Nuggets. Who's the hotter team right now, the Nuggets or the Warriors? Better or hotter? Hotter. The Warriors. The Warriors is the hottest team out. I wouldn't dare to say better. The Warriors is the hottest team out. I wouldn't dare to say better. The Warriors is the hottest team just because where they was at when they first got Jimmy,

they was in the 10th. The Nuggets been solid all year. For sure. Warriors started off hot. Then they went on a terrible losing streak. Jimmy came to the team They go on a little run They only six games

Back from their position That's crazy Yeah We were talking about them Almost a month and a half ago Yeah They don't like that Man no smut

For sure man Another good game yesterday From SGA 41 piece They get the win Over the Grizzlies 1-21-03 It's starting to get ridiculous bro

41-8 bro Like that's the office for them bro It's getting that regular Is it really? Like, let's be honest. I remember, you know, James Harden, one of my favorite players. Yes, sir. Do he score easier than James Harden?

No. You don't think so? No. James Harden changed the game. I'm not saying he didn't change the game, but James Harden shot a lot of threes. And free throws. Yes. I think that saying he didn't change the game, but James Harden shot a lot of threes. And free throws. Yes. I think that's where the only... I'm going with James, but I think the only reason why people might feel the way...

Y'all doing efficient? Nah, I'm just saying James got a lot... Half of James' points every night was free throws. Free throws and threes. Nah, I feel you. He figured... When he go out with his hands behind his He He He figured He figured it out

He knew how to manipulate the game Yeah And that's part of the game If you figuring out All the nuances And all the things That make you a better player He figured it out

And mastered it How many free throws did he hit? 8,030 Like He hit I scored Oh yeah There's a lot of niggas up there

That is Listen I scored 10,000 points In my career He made 8,000 free throws. You wasn't in the gym enough, T. 8,000 free throws. See? That's that conservative shit.

Oh, my God. Take a look back at yourself. How many free throws, Brian? You didn't work hard enough. 8,591. Hey, man. Kobe, LeBron, Moses Malone, James Harden. James Harden's a GOAT.

And James Harden played. How many years did LeBron play? 37. 37. 22. James Harden got to be in like year 16, 15. Come on, man.

That's a lot of fucking free throws. He changed the game, bro. Paul Malone is the only person with more than them we can't say his name we're okay Brian didn't attempt

a lot of free throws though y'all he just ain't make them that's a fact 12,000 you know what I'm saying James Harden hit 8,000 of

9,300 now y'all mad I'm making them nah I ain't mad I ain't damn Brian Brian really fucked up the bag you can make free throws Brian y'all mad I'm making them. Nah, I ain't mad. Damn, Brian really fucked up the bag.

You can make free throws, Brian. Y'all scoring title with a bend up. Brian could have had 52K if he hit more free throws. But that's what they should always be on him about. But Brian's still to go. Fuck the free throws. I don't got Brian to go. But I'm just thinking about me.

Like, yeah. SGA, the way he scored, though. I'm not mad at y'all for saying that though bro he get it he get it in more ways to me they're both unbelievable but the way i watch when i watch him and i'm like damn man he's also easier he shoot a lot of free throws too but like he definitely gets he has a superstar whistle for sure. Yeah, he get a lot of free throws too. But I misheard you though. You said easier. I can either.

Because James Harden, his was based off pick and roll or he isolation. But it was tough. Like between the legs, between the legs, between the legs. Step back. Real basketball. Between the legs, between the legs. Go by your father. Between the legs, between the legs. Go by your father. Between the legs.

I got fouled. You teach your son how to hoop like SGA. You pray your son could play SGA. No, I'm just saying. I'm talking about the mechanics of basketball. Oh, yeah, yeah. You can't teach your kid how to be James Harden. No.

You know what I'm saying? Keeping it simple, you would show him a tape of SGA. Keep basketball simple. I ain't going to lie. If I was trying to teach a kid how to play basketball for real, I'd probably show him Peyton Pritchard. No, I'm talking about it. No, I'm just saying, like, we just talking about that concept.

Oh, okay. I'd be like, hey, if you want to play basketball really good, you should play like him. See, that's my problem. I'm going straight to Swaggy P. How nice. This is what we on. Because you got to think.

That's right. But break it down, bro. I want to straight to Swaggy P. How nice. This is what we on. Because you got to think. That's right. Because you got to think. Break it down, bro. I want to hear you out. He do everything perfect. This is not even trying to be a fan, nothing. But, like, when I used to even watch him work out, like, he can dribble. He can pass.

He can shoot. And he's small. But he do everything off two feet. He rarely go to the basket off one foot. Like, he might shoot a floater here and there. But he always play off two feet. He's always down, ready to shoot at any time. He's always on balance.

I would teach my kid how to play basketball like Fake Richard. It's not the sexiest game, but it's the most effective game. So fundamentally sound, you think he's up there? Oh, to a T. To a T. That's a man that has basketball problems, that sounds okay. He's so fundamentally sound. He's strong.

He's always low. Always on balance. Shot ready at all times. I can rock with that. I swear. If I was trying to teach a kid how to play basketball, I'd be like, yeah, Peyton Pritchard. Shit, it ain't matter at all. Because you saw it in real time, too.

So it's different. Like, coming off screens. He knew how to do everything perfect. He's just short. He's just short. And not as, he's not that, oh shit.

He's not that as athletic as everybody else. You know what I mean? Like he's kind of slow. Don't jump that high. But he can make shit happen. Shit, it'll take you a long way. Yeah.

As you can tell. He just had 40. Damn. Thunder 7-1 in the last eight games. Chet and Harden still not figuring it out, but the Grizzlies are three in the last ten. Damn, that kicked my ass. Ass, ass, ass.

I was like, damn. I was thinking about the song in that video. The real highlight factor. I was like, damn. Shout out to Big Sean. What's better, that or the Marble Game shortening video? Oh, no, bro. Don't change it. I hate these niggas.

Shout out to Big Sean. That's his throwback Thursday. Ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass. Bro, we have to be replaying. Sean Williams said, donations jet was popping story time for the 10. That is crazy, bro. Sean Williams said Donations Jet What's poppin' Story time for the 10 That is crazy

Told y'all I was like Asking the comedian Bro tell me a joke Bro I don't No asking They don't listen bro We don't make up stories bro

We don't come here and say Yeah people think it's fake Yeah we don't come here and say Tell that story Jeff We have organic conversations Y'all thought we talked Prep for Big Sean Conversation this morning But I told y'all thought we talked about prep for Big Sean conversation this morning?

I told y'all, people really think our show is scripted, bro. No, bro. We don't do that. It's crazy, bro. I got some news for you. Like, that Gatorade story that literally... Michael Wish. Michael Wish is a scripted show. We probably would have way more... Just everything. Yeah, we would be the pivot.

That's that structure. What are you guys teaching the people? Man, y'all hate me. I love Mike, man. That's my guy. Shout out to Freaky Mike, man, for sure. James Harden, man. Speaking of the devil, 50-piece yesterday.

After Malik Beasley said he was easy to guard. He found out for sure. They took care of the Pistons yesterday, 123-115. Again, James Harden, 50-piece. I wonder why he said that. But the thing about Malik Beasley, you've never been known as a defender. That's like me saying, yeah, I can guard him. Nigga, you've never been a good defender. It's like Malik Beasley last year with the Bucs saying, yeah, we can't wait to see them in the playoffs.

And then he got cooked against the Pacers. Malik, you're having a hell of a year, though. Hoop out, my boy. Oh, you hooping, but you was definitely not known for defense. That's the last thing. I would never. I say everybody coach. All you know is for shooting threes, my boy.

I would never. Ty Lue Price said sick him, bro. James can do that? At this point in his career, bro, that was like, bro, you got me fucked up. That was personal. James was probably like, what? I'm about to take this bitch

back to the A-State. Boy, hold on. What are you talking about? Ass, ass, ass. That was a pre-game. He was like, I'm about to kill this nigga. That's crazy, bro.

That is... To disrespect somebody like that for no reason, bro. Come on, man. He hard. He ain't that hard to guard. I mean, you got your personal opinion. You probably had some success against James, whatever.

I doubt it, but... That's James Harden. Man, come on, bro. Chill, bro. For sure, man. Big Zoo hooped out 22-11. Your man's consistent as well. Big Zoo should've been an all-star down there. He'd be killing. What are you averaging? 15-12, yeah.

Yeah, he's having a heck of a year, man. It's time for a new payday. I think he just got a new deal, but. Boy from Croatia, boy. Lakers definitely gave him up for nothing. Shout out to Big Joe. For real, ain't he only 27? Man, crazy work.

K went crazy yesterday, 37-10-7 as well. Then Schroeder hooped out with 21-7. Yeah, that's a great pickup for Detroit. Definitely. Definitely. He fits the team very, very well.

break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small. Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance, you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you. You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify. The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain. This is the struggle. This is the thing that's in front of me. You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible

and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all. So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being, and climb your personal mountain. Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you. It's impossible for you to love you fully if all you're doing is living to please people. Your mountain is that. Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

But guests like Businessweek editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms,

even the signal chats that make our economy tick. Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing.

I wonder, like, how Chris Middleton feel. Oh, that's a drastic change. Yeah, like, you always been competing

for, like, playoffs. Competing for something. It's probably good for him because he can probably get his ankles right. He's probably like,

yeah, I can get ready for next year, but like. Mentally, he probably get his ankles right. He's probably like, yeah, I'll get ready for next year. But like. Mentally, he probably don't like it. He don't like the state that the team is in for sure. Yeah. He deserves better. I might have to hit Chris up, man.

Oh yeah. Yeah,

we on playback with it tonight. For sure. Keep it cute. 76ers at Celtics. Why I even say that? We was supposed to be on playback

with that. But shout out to the 66ers. 76ers really did fuck up a lot of national TV games. We should have did the Knicks-Lakers.

Nah, they at Lakers. That's why we didn't do have did the Knicks-Lakers. No, shit. They're at Lakers. That's why we didn't do that. Oh, they're at Lakers. Yeah, I won't be there. I'll be past that. Yeah, we know what time it is. It's quiet.

Okay. I'm going to go Rockets. Knicks at Lakers Can't play? No You want the Lakers Yeah Lakers for sure Alright Super Chat

You see harsh manipulation Of the zero step Everywhere And his low pickup Gathers to the rim And his step backs Is he Most influential guard

Is he low key The most influential guard? Is he low-key the most influential guard? He definitely has his influence on that. Yeah, he definitely left his print on the game, but most influential, no. I'm going to say Allen Iverson or Steph Curry. Just based off the way people play. Like, Iverson, obviously people were doing crossovers, but Iverson made it a thing.

Like, everybody had to have a crossover. Steph Curry made it cool to be a small guard and be able to shoot. Like, if you could shoot, you could play. And the way he cut, move, handles, pass, all that stuff. But I feel him. I understand what he's saying with all the picking up the low points and all that stuff, like bumps and all that stuff that James Harden was doing. But, I mean, it's a good debate.

For sure. Jamal asks, Jeff, you still think Giannis is better than LeBron, like you said on the O2's podcast? Whew. I said Giannis is better than LeBron. Why I ain't say that shit? So, I'm going to have to check the receipts on that one. We'll report back on that with Jamal. I ain't say that shit. So, I'm going to have to take the receipts on that one.

We'll report back on that with Jamal. I don't know, boy. I probably said more dominant. Probably. Knowing you, you probably... I probably was, man.

You probably shook the rim. It probably was early. What time we did the OG podcast? To be fair, respect and shout out to the OGs. That is a heavy edited podcast,

by the way. I don't remember. It really is. So there's no doubt. That's why I would remember that conversation. I'm not saying he was better than LeBron at this moment. Probably at that time. Probably, bro.

You say some shit. I don't remember you saying it. Yeah. I probably said I'd take Giannis. I can remember probably saying I'd take Giannis over LeBron right now. Yeah. And, yeah, I'd still take Giannis over LeBron right now. Yeah. And, yeah, I'll still take Giannis over LeBron right now. That's what we talking about.

Yeah. Giannis is 29, 30. LeBron's 40. Yeah. Matthew, Matthew. The Out of Pocket Variety Show asks, if y'all was GMs of Detroit, how would y'all convince K to stay once his contract ended? If Dallas can't survive trading Luka, Detroit for sure can't lose K.

I think those are two separate situations, brother. K to be in Detroit as long as they're going to pay him that max deal. It's different. I think K is American. We look at like, we care

about certain stuff differently like they couldn't understand luca and dallas like he a foreigner like yeah they drink beer smoke hookah cigarettes all that state culture yeah yeah and some people just couldn't mix with it like nico or whoever the owners they just couldn't understand like how you're a professional athlete you drink beer smoke hookah and do all this stuff well, they smoke cigarettes at halftime. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's just a different thing.

So, I don't know. I think Cade, he wants to be great. He understands Detroit. Understand that Cade is their guy. He's their all-NBA player. He's going to be around for a while. Yeah. Keep him happy.

Give him another piece to hoop with in the future, and y'all be all right, man, for sure. K locked in with Detroit. Next question, ADJ and Jeff. Y'all best of good. We were reminding shit. Y'all best of good for who had the most wins of the Hawks and Pacers? We had injuries, bro.

Jalen Johnson went out, bro. Didn't matter, but shout out to the Hawks. We said it was a Trae Young versus Tyler. What's his boy name? Tyrese Halliburton. Tyrese Halliburton. And then Siakam versus Jalen Johnson. But Jalen went out with the shoulder.

Yeah, I got that one, though. Shout out to the Pacers. Man, I'm about to turn this. Bro, what? What's his name? Raymond. Raymond. Appreciate you, Raymond. We about to ban him

from the chat. Slot you 25. For sure, man. Very far buckets being here. Who was getting to it yesterday? James Harden off the strength of my leg being out of pocket, man Very five buckets being here It was getting to it yesterday And James Harden off the strength of my leg Being out of pocket, man It's just automatic for me Even if you would have had 30
