Boy, dick, so it is he changing.

You're scared of me a little bit.
I said, we just let anybody.
Man,

Yeah.
Okay.
That was right on time.
That was right on time.
The mascot.
With the 520 fitted.
Man, you know, where do you
order that stupid outfit for a girl, bro?
Hey, he went double zero, though.
He could go to the O.G.
He was like a motherfucking putty from power raising.
Hey, he didn't run out of here quick and say, oh, my word, mouth.
Man, I thought he got to get the grid.
I thought he had a food order.
Why?
Why he got the white laces on, though, though?
One of the freaking out of his office you were ever seen.
Well, what the way to start this motherfucker
board is today, baby?
Oh, yeah, we are good bullshit, man.
Listen, man, game five did not disappoint last.
Last night, O.T. Thriller. Shout to the Las Vegas Aces, man. Going to the finals, man. Malcolm is crazy for sure. Listen, third time in four years, going to the finals. Asia Wilson, we're crazy yesterday. 35, 8 and 5. Jackie Young went insane. 32 and 10, the first duo in W. NBA playoff history to get 30 apiece.
I think Chelsea Gray. Yeah, that's hard. Two 30 pieces. I think Chelsea Gray had 17 as well, but they were the only three players in the team who had double-distance scoring, but they took care of business.
honestly sims salute salute salute i've been saying this since she was acquired on this team
she put the team of her back yesterday despite the injury she had 27 to 6 Kelsey
Mitchell hooped out as well had 15 points but she did leave in the third quarter due to
severe cramping prayers up for her as well it was a hell of a game man uh first half was super
super close a lot of good bucket second half was even crazy in the third quarter a start
to pull away Kelsey michigan gets hurt but the fever do not give up in the fourth quarter go crazy
and take it to OT did you see any of the game yesterday I watched a little bit man
Jackie Young really liked that
Definitely
That's a great help for Asia Wilson
Like we needed
We needed another dog on our side
She needed Kelsey
She was hurt
Yeah I mean
And Kelsey did her best yesterday
I mean she was hooping
Like she had smooth 15
She didn't even get a chance
Really take over the game
Like she does in the fourth quarter
But salute to that fever team
They did not give up
First half a little bit shaky
From a production standpoint
Alia Boston didn't have
As much points as normal
A lot of rebounded
But Lexie Hall came up big
In the second half
Natasha Howard came up big in the second half.
It was a total team effort.
For them to even take that game to OT,
I respect them, man.
Having all your best players down to an injury
and you still fight, nothing but respect, man.
Yeah, it had a good season.
This is about to win the finals, bro.
Okay, that's how we're feeling?
I got the mercury.
Well, that was a good,
this is a good thing for the fever.
Yeah.
But it's a challenge now.
Y'all went this far without your superstar player
and without Sophie kind of end, right?
Yep.
if it's a down season next year
that's the kicker
are you shuffling
shuffling their deck
I'm saying like if it's a down season next year
I mean obviously you're building around Caitlin
she'd have face it in W
she the biggest
you know what I mean
but you got to bring back Odyssey Sims
if you don't bring her back
it look crazy
listen and that's what some of the conversations
been this morning I know a lot of being
Sophie Cunningham Lexi Hall
a lot of Eric McDonald came through
a hoop too
Odyssey Sims has to be on this roster next year
I don't care how you could it.
The way she has played, and all the people we named came from the sparks who could have used some of these squadity players,
but I know due to the money and restrictions, they had to let them go,
but she has to be on their roster next year.
She has to be on the roster next year.
I know she has to be on the roster next year, I have a thousand percent degree.
DeWana Botters pick up this year kind of set us back because we spent big money on her
and wanted to go out in the free agency market, a little bit money of flexibility.
That team is amazing, man.
For you to play that good with all your stars basically injured, that is respectable.
So, like you said.
So y'all saying championship or explode the team?
Next year, it has to be championship aspirations.
If you almost go to the finals and you lose five your rotation players
and your star outside of Kelsey Mitchell and the lead of Boston,
it has to be there because you don't even have the full roster you wanted.
They shuffled a lot of people this year and still got it done.
Who got more pressure than the Knicks or the fever?
Oh, the Knicks, bro.
You're talking about the NICS, bro.
The J.G, man.
No, it's a little bit different.
We're talking about the Knicks, too.
not even close
I'm looking forward to the
303 league
shout to the rival
for sure
talking about they disrespect
when they hell fuck
with the W like that
all right
now the Aces
like what I'm saying
they start off real shaky
as you once put the team
on her back
17 in a row
now they're going
to the finals
playing against a really
good team
defeated's Mercury
how you feeling Tee
I got the Mercury
man they just
playing at a super high level
I like they vibe
a little more bro
I ain't gonna lie
I know
I said too
to somebody of your players
She's coming through the games looking decent
Yeah
She said it yesterday
Yeah, yeah
Shane sundress
They didn't make the show
But she looked
It should
Yeah
I'm gonna look better
Everybody
I think I entered the chat with that
And you did
Yes
She looked better everybody
So I'm rolling with that
That's who's about
Hey man Alyssa Thompson
It's a doll
She is very capable of being
That ain't her girl
Lizzie because she'll pull up on you
Who are a girl
Alyssa Tom
All right
Ain't no too
Want a bottle
Oh okay
I'm going to say I don't want to pull up on me.
That's a nigga.
Respect.
Yeah, they're back on the same team.
Listen, the Mercury Vives, they are really, really good.
She said it, nigga.
I started this shit.
After gay.
No argument there for me.
I'm in a number.
I see they said she the OG.
I respect the brother saying.
She's the OG stood, bro.
That's not true, but respect.
The stunt buzz said it.
I know, but they said it.
It's go with me.
I ain't going to get some.
I ain't going to get some people.
That's what you are.
No problem.
We're not just respect the OG Studge from back in the day.
We're not going to do that, bro.
They run this shit.
I heard him Britney Grunner.
I'm scared of what pitch is about to go up here right now.
Oh, guys.
I thought we had a picture about a little of less than any time.
Oh, yeah.
To Sabaoli, yeah.
Tom of Fitz.
Respect.
That's why Lou, Lou, my God.
Yeah, Lou.
See the fresh is on.
That's why he put it in the first time.
And with this being said, Mercury and 4.
No, I just went.
Gun smoke.
The Aces, though, man, Aja Wilson on the hell of a campaign year.
If she's going to get a ring this year,
especially with this team dealt with losing all the stars that they had in years past
and still getting the ring, it's undoubtedly.
Yeah, I just, of course.
I'm rooting for Sautil, absolutely.
But Asian them, bro, they just...
35, something light yesterday.
It's too much, bro.
No, it's great.
Come on, that's a whip they got over there.
They do, but they struggled with the fever, though.
That is true.
They were injured.
The fever, been playing some real team basketball, though.
Yeah, but.
the Mercury have too, bro.
They've been playing great.
Yeah.
And I got to take off a player that can match with.
Yeah, she's cold, but I don't know if she's ready
for Asia, bro.
I think she's just as good as Asia Wilson low-key.
Nah.
She's good.
She ain't that good.
I mean, obviously not scoring because she can't shoot.
She's like, Yonish, for real.
She put her head down and get to the basket.
She's cold, though.
She expects the game in the same amount as Asia Wilson does.
She gets triple doubles and stuff like that.
So she expects a game in a similar way.
I agree there.
Yeah, it's like her getting the game winning steals and stuff.
Yeah.
She do.
I hope it go to distance.
It will.
She likes to be both of me.
It ain't sweet now.
Yeah.
No, no, that's not sweet.
I just, she's definitely genuine.
Aja Wilson is just the best, best basketball,
women's basketball, boy out of the same, bro.
Outside of, of course, you know, Maya, but.
She just unstoppable, bro.
It'd be like from start to finish, bro.
Yeah, and then Jackie Young,
let's get you 25 to Thursday.
Jesus is crazy.
Chelsea's great.
She's saying, if she, you know what I'm saying she's going to have to be
great inside Maya Moore.
Man, hell no
Ma'amour lost like
20 games in her life
Yeah, I think Ma Moore
is just, she just
on her own little
grass fear, bro
She's definitely not even on
She's Kobe Bryant of basketball
She's just
Rushmore shit
Okay
Just leave her alone
She's Michael Jordan, bro
Yeah
Nah, I ain't gonna say she Mike
She didn't hear Mike
She's Mike bro
Nah, she quit
She said come back
She should have came back
She could
How people treat Mike
Like that's how people treat
Like Mike Moore, bro
She should just came back
Who?
One, two more chips
The world of
basketball with women's basketball, bro.
It's kind of like you kind of don't speak on,
you can't even compare her to nobody.
She ain't Mike, because Mike is super popular.
No, I'm just talking about four so far as like her league, bro.
Like, it's, like, you literally say Maya Moore
plays like a boy.
You do.
Like, it's a couple girls that do, but it's like,
she's landslides.
You'll pick her up on it.
We hear her now.
So, Maya Moore play like Mike.
Like, Mike.
Like, I'm saying, like, comparable.
Like, not they play alike, but, like, I'm saying to the league.
So, Aja Wilson is LeBron
She got to be prime
She got to
Yes, that's true, bro
No disrespect to Kobe.
You said cold, but shit
Yeah, Asia Wilson is Brian
So who Kobe?
Shit, I'll let you have that
Kobe's on the way
Juju
Yes, okay
Who Diana Tarazi?
She might be cold, bro
Like White Mamba
Might be cold
You got to think about
God damn y'all
You got to think about
Candace Parker
Yeah
He's a Les.
Candice Parker, Kevin Garnett.
Lloyd Jackson.
I was about to give her Kareem, but she can take you.
Hey, don't do that.
Candace.
Paul up.
Respect, Candice.
She got upset.
She got upset with her interview and they said
Mike Moore's better than her.
She did like that.
Oh, she ain't like that.
She didn't like that.
She didn't like that.
DJ is right about that.
She was not.
She was not having me.
She did look when MVP as a rookie, though.
And, yeah.
I don't know.
That's a good conversation to have.
And it's Parker doesn't.
Shout out to the W, though.
I know we play a lot.
That's magic Johnson.
Candice Parker Magic Johnson.
That's a good.
Brought life back into the league, one early.
I ain't mad at that.
Yeah.
Oh.
You know what to be here?
Is that disrespect?
Boy, we got some,
we got football tall.
What we got, fellas?
What do they say?
Moving along.
Well, saying,
hey, man,
speaking to the W.
Hey, MVP dropped the bomb on the W yesterday.
The Fis of Collin went crazy yesterday on the commissioner.
She got her shit off.
Please play.
except of this boy she covered all bases no stone left unturned being able to talk to the commissioner
like that is fire especially when you're the president association of players let's play this
please shout at the offense of coger um she said that the coppersher first no basically she was
just saying you know they they leadership is it's piss poor bro but do y'all think they saying all this
they lost, bro. They're lashing
out because they got beat, bro.
That's literally what, but I think it's a
bigger player. They want her out of there.
Yeah. All right.
We don't got the video. So I'll go
through a couple of things she touched on the situation.
It's been in conversation
last year and a half about the players potentially having
a lockout, right? They are unhappy
with some of the splits they're getting for what's going on.
They want better, not
quite, they want better leadership. They want better
referees. They just upset with how everything is
going, right? So she gets in there and she does
what she does best. She basically says,
listen, we plan for a league
that don't give a damn about us, bro. Like,
you see how our commissioner talks about
hers and brought the receipts. And she's like, you know what
saying? The younger players in the league are bringing more
revenue in. They shouldn't have to wait four years to get paid.
And she basically said, yeah,
Caitlin Clark should be happy that
W's behind her because that's how she gets all this endorsement
money, which is absolutely true
and untrue and stupid.
Also, what she talked about just some of the
stuff as far as including the players and stuff
and some of the deals they're making, after she went
crazy of her, they unleashed that they had a new
TV deal that's going on for 11
years. And a growing league signing an 11
year deal is absolutely insane.
And the players don't even like the situation.
They're going to have a lockout.
The Fiscali has unrivaled. A lot of players
that signed up for that as an alternative.
They got the W on their heels.
It is just crazy that she really got
audit off against the commissioner yesterday.
And everybody agree with her. They're going to throw a shot at
Kaelin Clark no matter what, boy.
And you know, it's crazy. They have the same agent
or Katelyn Clark. And she was smart because she was
all the fan bases that's individualized
and the entire W to go against it.
She put Andrew Rees in there, Paige Bucket's, Kaelin Clark.
They like, ain't nobody feeling this.
And everybody backed her up on that.
Yeah, I mean,
I don't know too many leagues
where rookies get new contracts that fast.
I ain't going to lie to you.
That's a fact.
I mean, that's the whole point
of having a rookie scale or whatever.
So you can lock in, so people can build
fan bases and they can build some of their players
and the franchises around them young guys
or young women.
So I don't know if I have,
I agree with that, but obviously they bring in a lot of money and a lot of revenue, but shit, they want to play in the league.
That's what they're going to do.
If you're popular and you bring money in, that's what you're supposed to do.
Absolutely.
Build the brand.
I was on a rookie scale.
Build the brand.
Yeah.
Yeah, shit outside.
And if you're, I say, if you're good enough, you get endorsements and all that.
That's just the way all the sports world works, though, in any sport.
Yeah, it is.
Soccer, golf, baseball, football, like, I don't know.
I think that, I mean, this was a part of it.
I think that was just to bring the solidarity together.
Obviously, it's a rookie skill for a reason.
No matter if it's more money, it's going to be a skill regardless.
But listen, the fact that she went at the commissional like that
and brought the receipts and brought everybody together and go against her,
she's definitely going to get out of there, bro.
I don't know what agreement they're going to have,
but they're going to get her up out of there for sure.
I'm cool with all this, but I just didn't want them to do this because they got beat.
They did it.
The coach was mad.
Everybody, now they're coming at the commissioner.
They probably was going to say it anyway, but it just looked like they throwing a feet.
I like what the commissioner said, though.
Only the losers complain.
About the rest, yeah.
And it's the truth.
When you lose,
that's the only time you complain.
Of course.
Yeah, and they have called some unlucky breaks this year,
obviously with her being injured as well.
I wonder how much they're fine going to be.
God damn, damn.
They're going to up that on her.
The commissioner said, all right, now.
You play with my name now.
Yeah, they sit a nice little PR statement
as a response there.
I need a hundred bands.
They're going to up that.
They've been having a drive all year, bro.
That's probably, what,
Kaelen got $2.50.
Her would be about $600.
Fine.
Yeah, her nigga give her to her.
That's cool.
That shit ain't about done.
It might be some rags, bro.
It might get $1,500 fine, so speaking on.
That shit ain't about, man.
You can't talk about the commissioner, bro.
There's just too much going on in the W, bro.
It's too much drama, man.
That kind of takes away from a good basketball being played, for real.
Yeah, this is the one time I appreciate them, though.
Because any time you can talk crazy about the commissioner
and they get somebody up out of there, that's fire.
that would never have a drama all year bro
we've been talking about them
and some bullshit all year man
I'm ready for that shit to end
completely
it's because they want to get just to go away
bro
for real bro
you get Asian now
solidify her career
shut it down
man
we need a 523 on 3 for the ones
of Cape Bank
club
right
let's my team here
go play to G League
The unrivalry league
That's a sick league
If you didn't make the real
Unrival league
You cut the 520 league
For sure, bro
We're playing 30K of you
We got a couple of gyms
You know what I'm being cut us in
Live at the factory
Yeah
They got clean it up bro
Lockheans
They're gonna take them to Waukins
Y'all get a rock
Yeah
Guy out of Wockish Park
That's a park right there
That's G League
for you, bro.
No for the threes.
Well,
shout to Indy Pau, man.
That's where the Pounde Club started.
We're playing at the Garden.
The older than two.
That's one who guarded.
What's on the Indianapolis?
No crowd.
It's a COVID crowd for sure.
Nah, shout out of you,
getting her bars off for sure.
I can't wait to see what happened.
Where did that tab was playing at?
The shit, Tabernacle.
Yeah.
Right there.
Tavernacle.
I'm a Marine.
Shut, Academy.
Right, I'm 34 for Burradi.
But I'm sure for years.
Hey, you know from that before.
You ain't never play no youth league sports at TAB as a man.
You got a pocket league.
I'm not.
All right, man.
The saga is over.
Finally, man, Jonathan Kaminga and the Warriors finally come to an agreement.
Let's see this contract here, man.
He should let me be his agent.
Brother, they offered you this at the beginning of this.
They just did a bunch of nothing.
Two-year, $48.5 million-dollar contract to return back to the Golden State, baby.
It's a team option for the contract to be renegotiated and ripped up next summer.
He still got the team option.
Unnecessary drama, bro.
This was just dumb.
He should have signed the contract when Jalen Johnson signed it instead of saying he was Kauai Liner and he deserved more.
Boy, you weren't Kauai Lennar.
You ain't going to never be Kaui Lner, no disrespect.
Happy you got some money, but you only your age and fucked this one up.
Yeah, he didn't take a L.
Yeah, the team option is a little weird.
Because if you could have locked in
140 for four
or whatever it was
120, 100
100
shit like a zero
where he's doing
like 10
it feels like a
because if you could have locked in
100 plus
for four years back then
and now
essentially you're getting
the same money
just for a year
because a team option
you're on a team option
he played itself
for sure
they could rip it up
and give you a new deal
for sure
and more a year of 40

Hey, this is Matt Jones.
I'm Drew Franklin.
And this is NFL Cover Zero.
We think NFL coverage should be informative and entertaining.
And twice a week, that is exactly what you're going to get.
We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different.
Did you see the Colts pretzel?
That was my other big takeaway from that game.
What was that?
Looks like something that should not be sold.
Oh, my.
So that was my other big Colts take away.
They sold that?
Yes.
Might want to go back to the drawing board on that.
Yeah.
I thought the shape we had with pretzels was working pretty well.
It's work for generations.
We're just here trying to enjoy it.
We hope you all will join us throughout the year.
And let's go.
I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age.
He's a young 73.
He is a young 73.
He is Sprott.
I wouldn't fight him.
I would.

I'm Simone Boys, host of the Brightside podcast,
and on this week's episode, I'm talking to Olympian, World Cup Champion,
and podcast host, Ashlyn Harris.
My worth is not wrapped up in how many things I've won.
Because what I came to realize is I valued winning so much that once it was over,
I got the blues, and I was like, this is it.
For me, it's the pursuit of greatness.
It's the journey.
It's the people.
It's the failures.
It's the heartache.
Listen to the bright side on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcast. Get fired up, y'all. Season two of Good Game with Sarah Spain is underway. We just
welcomed one of my favorite people and an incomparable soccer icon, Megan Rapino, to the show,
and we had a blast. We talked about her recent 40th birthday celebrations, co-hosting a podcast
with her fiance Sue Bird, watching former teammates retire and more. Never a dull moment with
Pino. Take a listen. What do you miss the most about being a pro athlete?
The final. The final. And the locker room. I really, really, like, you just, you can't replicate. You can't get back.
Showing up to locker room every morning just to shit talk. We've got more incredible guests like the legendary Candace Parker and college superstar A.Z. Fudd. I mean, seriously, y'all. The guest list is absolutely stacked for season two.

Especially with this team, this old-ass team they got?
You ain't about that.
He ain't about to play like that.
He put a lot of pressure on itself.
He got to perform this year.
Yeah, now, also, they are looking for a team that would be interested in him probably after first of the year.
Sign and trade type deal.
Yeah, Tonyx and I imagine.
He locked into it.
I imagine they're going to, they have to move off from him.
He can't get trade into December unless he's on it.
He got no trade clause in his.
Yeah, so after the first year, yeah, so by the time period, he'll
probably likely be gone, man.
And then we'll see what his real contract will be, but I can't imagine him.
Well, said, let's do this.
Best case scenario, he kills this year, shows his worth.
Does he get repaid this option?
Pick up his option.
What are you talking about?
And now you're expiring contract.
What are you talking about?
Pick up his option.
We're going to trade on.
Now you have to kill again.
Now you got a kid option we're going to trade them.
And their worst case scenario, you don't have the best season.
And then we...
Yeah, we're going to release you.
They put him in a chokehold, for sure.
Yeah, we said we're going to rip it up.
Yeah, we are.
You're free agent.
That's tough, man.
They won the battle at the end of the day.
Whoever's an agent, I don't know.
He might not have a lot of clients.
Yeah.
Let's share some light on them, though, man.
Shout to Al Horford, man.
Yeah, sir shout to Al Horford.
You know what I'm saying?
GP2 back, Anthony Melton back.
Also, Seth Curry's on the team.
He's going to get waived at the end of training camp
and then sign back with the team in November
due to the cap restrictions.
But they're old as hell, but I like it, bro.
I like the team, bro.
They got good pieces.
I like that team.
Who the better old team?
Them are the Clippers.
That we had a little bit of the Clippers.
So the Clippers were the oldest team in the league before this.
Yeah.
And now we got the words who are by far
the oldest team in the league ever.
On paper, the Clippers look better.
On paper.
But actually knowing basketball.
Well, I like Gold State, bro.
Okay.
You think the clippers look better.
Just on paper.
Just on paper.
I think the Al Horford making them over 35.8 is kind of cheating.
But yeah.
I'm nothing, bro.
That team, that first five is insane, bro.
That's the first five is crazy, actually.
Well, you're rocking with B here?
Oh, I'm going clips.
I don't fuck with the Warriors.
I'm going to clippers, bro.
Okay.
I think step curve is so much better than the rest of them that I can't.
Like, I know James Harden is amazing, and, you know, that's our guy.
But Steph is just, I feel like he aging a little better.
Even though James Harden had a hell of a season last year.
I'll see what you're saying.
It's just certain stuff you've got to take into account, bro.
With James, yeah.
Playoffs, you know he's going to disappear at some point.
But outside of that, our players are way better than theirs.
The bench mob?
Bradley Bill is light.
It's better than Buddy Hill.
I mean, it's true.
Depending on what you're looking for, though.
for shooting.
For their team.
It's all about the fitting of a team.
Like, individual, yeah.
It's a one-on-one game.
Buddy Hill fit the Warriors
probably better than...
I mean, I ain't seen Bradley Build the Clippers,
but right now,
but he'll fit the Warriors.
Yeah.
Do.
Jimmy Butler and Kauai Leonard.
Kauai probably better,
but shit, it ain't that big of a difference.
Yeah.
I think Kauai might be a better score
down the stretch.
He is, but...
He got to be healthy.
Yeah.
They're going to say, God, I'll be on the court.
John Collins, Draymond.
What's up?
Give me Draymond.
Ooh, bro.
He's a Hall of Famer.
How you feel, B-Hen?
I see B-Han face like that statement.
Give me the Hall of Famer, bro.
What's a top champ?
Give me the IQ.
Uh-oh.
If John Collins had a chip, you'd be a different conversation, Bia.
Y'all, y'all, bro.
He's going to play his role to the team.
Be him who you got.
And he's going to lock John Collins up, bro.
Oh, God.
John Collins and Zubai.
It's not even close, bro.
I do y'all basketball shit for sure, bro.
They're going to beat the hell out of then when they play, bro.
I don't know.
That ain't going to happen.
Are we still?
In our second unit better.
Yeah, got a CP.
Brooke Lopez.
Yeah.
There was some old.
Who, me, you know, your first five is already 40.
I'm off the pond, though.
Al Horpher started 40 is great.
Come on, bro.
He's old.
Still productive, though.
Still productive, though.
productive done the least.
Yeah, this would be interesting
to see both teams this year.
CP.
Lopez, that's a nasty
pick and roll right now, bro.
That's the oldest dirty.
Nick Batoon.
That shit.
That's it.
Filthy, bro.
Very serviceable.
That shit.
Nobody gets down here.
Nobody getting down here.
Nobody touching the past.
No, no.
Chris done.
No.
That down hill.
That Chris Dunn, though.
I like that.
You can't even say downhill on that team.
It's not even the call.
Yeah, the people are happy the words fans that
Stefan, I mean, Stefan used his nephew to say,
Hey, get my brother on the scene, bro, like you said.
It's time, bro.
It's been time.
That's going to be lit, though.
That's scary, though, for real.
That's a hell of a shoot to come off the bitch.
Yeah, that clip never leave, so.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, bro.
Gary Payton, come out of them.
Yeah, Brandon Prisinski's still on the roster.
They got some good shooting.
They got, the word is not, the word is not sad, Joe.
The Warriors are definitely not sad
It's just quiet for me
You're on the moot
You buying stocking their nice, bro
I got stocking in them,
got stocking the Warriors
I heard nice, bro
Yeah, first eight, right?
Y'all got stocking them
being within the first A team
First five
First five
Whoa
For sure
They better than Houston, bro
Yeah, I got them better than Houston
We shall see
They better than the clippers
Shit
They are, bro
They're gonna be a better team
Yeah
All right, let's see that feeling
You got to put in the count,
Kowah going to miss 27, 30 games.
So mark that down.
Yeah, it might be 40.
And we ain't got the last of the Pablo Tori.
Ex-Mex-Mose either.
Slipers team, man, I ain't beat there.
My all-star break anyway.
Wow, that's still pending.
Yeah.
Respect.
After all-star weekend, though,
because you know where it's at.
Speaking of L.A., the Lakers,
how are we feeling this year?
At being cautious with LeBron going to year 23,
ain't going to play in the pace,
and the preseason, excuse me,
while L. Barney's playing the reason anyway.
But listen, how we feel about the squad, man?
DeAndre Aiden, immediate, that's first time playing for something serious.
Give me the Lakers first five over the Lone State.
I ain't mad at that.
You liked this first five over Golden State first five?
Yes.
Who was the five for the Lakers?
DeAndre A.N.
A. R.
Yeah. Luca.
Yeah.
Brian.
Yeah.
And what's my boy name?
Rory.
No, I don't think Rui going to start.
Oh, shit.
Go to the Lakers roster.
It's Rui.
Probably will be Rory, but we can look at the Rosh just in case.
I don't want Rory to start.
Ractor Bill going to play this year?
Lord.
That's where y'all lost it.
Trade.
That fourth.
That fourth person is where you lost.
That's where I spoke yet.
Yeah, Rulie.
Probably will be Roy, realistically.
I like Rory.
That's just a slow-ass.
Slow methodical.
Maxic Leber, maybe, nah.
Slow methodical.
No young up in.
Don't connect.
Mark is smart.
They're going to start Smarty.
I forgot.
Damn, I didn't even know they had him.
There it is.
That's our final.
Smarty start number AR?
I love the Warriors.
Or Brown playing the 4th.
I love the Warriors.
I don't like that team.
You don't like this like his team?
I think they're going to be good because I just got Luca and LeBron.
I think that they're good enough to always be in top five with them too.
But I don't like that team.
A big, slow.
Yeah, fight team.
Like, just strong, just slow.
I would never pick them.
In the 90s, we got into times, bro.
So, DeAndre A, he comes out and kills early in the season,
or if he kills throughout the whole season,
that's going to be the X Factor for them to be a contender.
He's going to have to, though.
He is.
That's what they banking on?
No, I'm just asking.
If he kills this year, is he the X Factor that could potentially get them to a championship
or get them to the promised land?
You know what Llebone going to do.
LeBron's the X Factor.
Yeah, Luga going to do his, and then LeBron got to be that extra push.
I don't like it being Deandre A.
Just be solid, bro.
But.
Deandre A.
He ain't got an average 15.
Yeah, just be solid.
15, 10.
He got to be the
Deontre Day in Phoenix.
He's going to do that.
He's going to do that.
Yeah.
They get whiz.
Now they're talking.
They ain't going to get whiz.
Yeah, I don't know why everybody
thinking they get wins.
Pat Rogers said,
I am not doing nothing
to hell LeBron Jones.
Yeah, he's not getting on.
All right.
I don't know, man.
What's up with Dog Connect, man?
One of your favorites.
What are he going to do this year?
He's cooked.
Is he going?
Get my boy out of there.
Please.
Yeah, he ain't been right since that trash.
He had to walk back in that locker room
When he had to walk back in that locker room
Look at the deal
Once he said I need to take a break
He was cooking
He was done
Yeah as a rookie
You know what I'm saying
Getting a little bit of space off
I never understood that though
You don't even care as a rookie
Yeah it's the business
I would be honest
Like you don't care
Like you just want to play
So if they trade you not
You would have came back
And be like okay
I don't know maybe he
I see what you're saying
Like you don't care
You're not even cool with nobody
Long enough to even care
Like it was cool to be with Brian
and him or whatever
You'd be like, just let me play
Yeah, you don't even care
No, 100%.
All right, man, while we're in the West,
let's go through these teams right here
and see how y'all feel about them.
Let's give me, everybody give me y'all top four
and then we'll go with our surprise team,
but team with my underacheeves.
I'll start with being here or whoever,
who's y'all top four?
Out of West right now.
Nuggets.
Who's your number one?
Okay, I'm going to go Thunder.
Okay, you're going to Thunder.
And I'm going to go Nuggets.
Okay.
I'm going to go Lakers third.
Like a start?
I'm going to go Warriors.
Worse Warp.
R.T.
How you feeling?
Yeah, mine's is O KC.
Okay.
Okay.
Nuggets two.
Then I got a surprise for y'all, man.
Yeah, it's a little weird.
I ain't going with the rockets.
I'm going to T-Wolves.
T-Wolps at three, okay.
And then I'm going to take the Warriors at four.
Warriors at four.
Behan, how are we feeling?
Of course, my thunder's.
One.
Yeah.
Two.
I'm going with the Rockets
Three
Rockets of two
Nuggets
And I'm fourth
Is the Clippers
Pro'
Mm, okay
I like this list
People feel a little bit different
About the Timber Wolves
I see you know what I'm saying
You went on a little bit
I love the Timberwolves
But I'm still rocking
I just think Anthony Edwards
I mean
We didn't expect much
From them last year
With the trade
But now that they solidified
They all played
They had a year under their belt
I think they're gonna be a better
Think Dante more comfortable
This year
I think they all will be more comfortable
They all know they rose
and now some of that role is going to expand
with losing to kill Alexander Walker
Dante will play more
Rob Dealingham going to get more time
because he's in the second year
Mike won't play as much
but he's still there
and AE going to be in a MVP
race this year
for sure
my old boy he ain't going to be smoking weed this year
so he's going to be good
I see you
Randall yeah he said he had to deal
with some mental health issues
dealing with how he left the Knicks
and for him to have an off year
still have a heavy impact like he did
a second half the season like you said
one more year under the belt
it might be a good team
They ain't going to ever study this year for sure
And they solid, they all got
Some contracts extensions and shit
They
Everybody paid to lock in
I like that
Rockets
People are feeling different
Like some of y'all
Some of y'all got them in there at all
What's going on?
I'm high on
Fray Van Fleet was that loss
And that's knock him out
That's a big piece, bro
He's that leader
That they needed
He was, bro
He's a big shot maker, bro
They're still good
They still good
But that's gonna hurt, bro
I mean if
That's gonna hurt bro
Yeah, that's what made me, like, bag up off to Rockets a little bit.
Losing Dylan Brooks, too.
I just don't think they got, I know I like the twin.
I know I'm a high on the twin, but they're missing Dylan Brooks, that gritty defender.
And just that, that Ra, right guy, I just don't see who they have for that narrow right now.
I mean, if you look at their roster, I don't know who's.
DFS may be possible.
Because you got to think, Dylan Brooks, they bring a different type of energy to the game.
I like doing, I like him, I like many, whatever.
name is.
Like him out.
He ain't scared.
Nobody.
But he, his energy
ain't the same as Dylan Brooks.
Like, I watched Dylan Brooks practice
with the sons the other day.
With the Scullyon.
Just wild.
He was wild.
He just started picking somebody
on randomly full court.
They turn the ball over.
He'd get hyped.
I'm like, that's why I said.
The son's going,
they're going to have a better year than we think.
They might not be a top 18.
They might be a playing team,
but they're going to be better than what we think.
I remember we had that bet
who's going to be better than what the Pelicans.
They're going to be a better team
in the pelicans.
I don't think so.
What about how you like the Sons
versus the Blazers?
I like the Blazers because they
was on a roll last year.
I mean, if they can carry over
what they had going on last year,
they got a chance to be a top eight team.
Now, unfortunately,
school this out for reportedly
four to eight weeks,
but they did pick up Drew Holiday.
It was on the team last year.
So you are Mackley.
You are Mackley going to get better
picking up Drew Holiday.
That's a fact.
Jeremy Grant healthy again.
I mean, like,
they got pieces, but I don't.
I mean, Camaro's been solid.
Chris Murray got to take that leap as a pick
as well. Shady Sharp,
breakout year on the way.
They got enough pieces that played well
last year. Yeah. Dane.
Rob Williams. They can get healthy.
Yeah. Thanks.
I love Shane and Sharp.
Shadden Sharper is like that.
You're one of my favorite players.
I like factory. Dominic Clemmy
played big minors from last year.
Play really well as a rookie.
Like you said, that's a talented roster
on the lowest of keys if you tapped in or not.
Now, a team, I have some question marks
about when I ask you, I feel about them.
what's up with the kings man like are they need to free everybody yeah i mean i seen they had a four man
i seen they four people pitcher dennis um demar zach and subonus i mean them four is a good
solid four on everything i just you just got to figure out who's that fifth piece that they
that they need yeah like keon ellis la he gets some rotation from miss well kegan murray um
he should be in that pitcher time of show
And I just think they have, I think they got a chance to have a good group,
but it's just a lot of pressure.
A lot of pressure on Subonis to be dynamic.
You got to get all the rebounds because of a small team.
You got DeMar, you got Zach, and then you got Dennis.
Them all guards, 6'5 and under.
Then you got Sabonis at 6'10.
I don't think Murray is a, I think he's good,
but I think they need somebody else in that position.
Okay.
league bunk they try move on from his contract and get him in another situation so
his playing time we interested devon car was the traffic they had that they for high but again
another guard and a guard heavy team for sure um the grizzlies listen they don't have a big at all
right now so they needed like john collins um they needed john collins like a yeah like another
shooting four but it's a real four that can rebound and shit like that live threat like murray is
a stretch he can shoot he's a four he can shoot he's more finesse he not yeah
I like him at a three anyway.
That's him on the wing, fire.
He's about, he don't need to be in a church.
He's about six eight.
Nah, yeah.
He got a cool little four, though.
They can be able to compete.
Hey, it's quiet out here, though.
Shouts out of these, they'll probably make some noise.
30 balls loading.
The Grizzlies, they have no big, healthy right now for at least a couple of weeks.
They get KCP in the offseason.
They get Todd Jerome in the off season.
What's the expectations for this team, man?
John just a hoop
Just to see John back on the court healthy
Just do your thing
That's it
That's it
Just put on the show
That's all you can ask for
Okay
Fair enough
The thing that I like about them though
They got some weird
Lineups that's like
Kind of cool
Like what's the dude
They just gave all that money to
Like a foreign player
A guy that's name
John Carcar
Want to be shooting
Yeah
I know you're talking about
Yeah
Yeah
Him right here
San Tal Dama
I got a burning.
Yeah, but he, like, seven foot.
So you can randomly play him at center, but he's like a three.
Mm-hmm.
Three, four, whatever, but he can play him at center.
So with him, having all those people out, they can do some wacky lineups that can.
It's kind of, like, fuck the game up a little bit.
Like, him playing a five with Jai, the way he shoot the ball.
Yeah.
That's perfect, actually.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Like, they can do some stuff that's a little different.
Especially when you get your and Jackson about, you can have them after
four and five stretch the floor
give a lot of space of job
if they can survive
this first couple of weeks in a year
so they get some of their bigs back
you know something they can make some noise but
it's going to be a long couple of weeks
the Western Conference is not weak at all
moving on to the east let's get these teams
on up here I want to see how y'all feel
man top four
can we even get four
but let's see
be here we'll start with you
our favorite East Coast correspondent
it's wicked
it's so wicked out here
I put
I'm a
Still roll with the Celtics. I think J.T. going to come back.
Okay.
Celtics, Knicks, magic calves.
Mm.
I'm going to go Knicks.
Magic calves.
I kind of like the heat for some reason.
Okay.
By stocking the heat?
I kind of like the heat, bro.
Boy, y'all stock is fucked up.
I got the calves.
Yeah.
I got the Knicks.
I got the Hawks
and then I'm probably
going to go with
the Milwaukee books
I was surprised
if I said the books
outside of death
in that situation
top four in the east
wow
I mean that's bro take
shit
you nothing
I got the magic
five
I just think
that Yannis
is going to have
a crazy year
like this is where
he's going to thrive
like
he let's be real
Janus
not he want to be
he's a point guard
not in that
really he can pass but he has to
have the ball the whole time
like if he don't got the ball in his hand
it ain't gonna work so now
that he don't got to worry about like a superstar
point guard like dame
like he was supposed to make that
work you know what I mean like
they like y'all gotta make this work
like there's no way y'all both top 75
and this don't work like you're a bad
big man or a bad star
if you can't make this work
it sucks that dame got hurt
towards Achilles or whatever but I think after that
year if they didn't win, I think they would have traded
Dame anyway, or it would have blown
it up or whatever he likes.
But now he got a chance to do
whatever he likes to do. That's have
the ball. Basically, your point guard
is a shooting guard.
Kevin Porter Jr. is a two guard.
So now I get the ball.
You get ready to shoot, do whatever I want to do.
Everything is geared around me. I got another
five man who's going to play defense and just shoot
three. He's like Brooke Lopez. I got a young
Brooke Lopez again. I got all the
dynamics I want it.
when we won the championship,
besides Drew Holiday.
Kevin Porter, Jr.,
not Drew Holiday,
but yeah.
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
Everything else is the dynamics he needs.
You're booking 50 games.
Yeah.
Why not?
Look at these.
Yeah, I think Yonis is going to kill the shit.
But nobody can stop Yonis, bro.
We know Yonis going to kill for a hundred percent fact.
I don't think they're going to,
they can win 50.
I think defensively.
That's a lot of games, Joe.
They can win 50.
I think people sleep on, I mean,
sleeping on a Miles pickup, but from a defensive standpoint,
having Miles away that he protects
a plane with Yannis, that's going to be
scary. And you got
capable of winning defense. That's going to be scary.
They can win 50. So then in the transition,
Yonnas getting the ball, and you got people, like you said, is going
fill the lanes and just shoot the open shots.
Like passing? Gary Trent Jr. got a
burner. And then my white boy.
Come on, AJ Green got a burner. He's going to play
so much more. Like, he's going to have a great year.
I like Kuzma.
I think he's a six man
for this team. Even Gary. Like, yeah,
They got it set up where Yonis can just dominate the whole game.
Yeah, that's all they did.
They was like, all right, let's build a team where we can,
Gary Harris can shoot threes and defend.
Yep.
We're going to make this where Yonis is the guy,
everybody else going to play defense,
and y'all going to make the shot when Yonis past the team.
It's crazy because it does sound like he's going to get MVP.
I swear everybody.
He's about to kill this year.
It's all set up.
It's Allen Irish and team.
Everybody else is going to play defense.
BP.
When I pass it to you, be ready to shoot.
The only odd ball out is Kevin
Porter Jr., that he can go do some wild shit
and Kyle Kuzma can do some wild shit here and there,
but everybody else, defense, threes.
Bobby Porter's,
shoot threes, and play with energy.
I ain't mad at your take, bro.
I like actually how you broke it down.
This is made for Yonis, right?
They all better to stay healthy, and
now that's the problem.
Stick to the plan.
Now, Yonis get hurt at any point.
Oh, my mama.
Lodery.
Yonis, tweak an ankle, Yonis,
have a cash ring.
45, 47.
They get a cramp
They're done
You have a five-gring high
You know what I'm saying
See y'all
Get a cramp
He catches Kelsey Mitchell
They are hooked
See what I'm saying
The Pistons
I'm excited about the Pistons
This year man
Listen one year
They've got some pieces
To help my boy out
Another year
Injuries
Players back
Them losing Dennis Schroeder
I do
I love Jay and Ivy
But he's a different
player than Dennis Schrooter
Did they get Malik Beasie
Is he is still
That's going to hurt too, bro.
He was shooting the shit out of the ball.
Facts, bro.
He won the best season statistically from the three-point line.
That's a major loss.
That's a Venn fleet loss.
I think they definitely go.
Boy, Duncan Robinson, though.
They got Duncan Robinson, but it's a difference.
He got a spur.
He do.
He can shoot.
I just think they might take a step back issue.
Because they added so many people who are, like, ball-dominant.
Jay and Ivy has to have a ball to be effective.
Facts.
Carus Avert has to have a ball to be effective.
Facts.
Obviously, you're going to put the ball in Kay.
He cutting him hand.
So then that means they can't have the ball.
Yeah.
So.
Hey, this is Matt Jones.
I'm Drew Franklin.
And this is NFL cover zero.
We think NFL coverage should be informative and entertaining.
And twice a week, that is exactly what you're going to get.
We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different.
Did you see the Colts pretzel?
That was my other big takeaway from that game.
What was that?
Looks like something that should not be sold.
Oh, my.
So that was my other big Colts.
They sold that?
Yes.
Might want to go back to the
at the Colts Stadium.
Yeah,
I might want to go back
to the drawing board on that.
Yeah.
I thought the shape we had
with pretzels was working pretty well
for generations.
We're just here trying to enjoy it.
We hope you all will join us
throughout the year and let's go.
I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age.
He's a young 73.
He is a young 73.
He is Sprott.
I wouldn't fight him.
I would.

I'm Simone Boyce, host of the Brightside podcast, and on this week's episode, I'm talking to
Olympian, World Cup champion, and podcast host Ashlyn Harris.
My worth is not wrapped up in how many things I've won, because what I came to realize
is I valued winning so much that once it was over, I got the blues, and I was like,
like, this is it. For me, it's the pursuit of greatness. It's the journey. It's the people. It's the
failures. It's the heartache. Listen to the bright side on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or
wherever you get your podcasts. Get fired up, y'all. Season two of Good Game with Sarah Spain is

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports.
Everybody else didn't need the ball.
Dennis Schroeder didn't need it. He'd sit on the sideline. He played defense.
He hit his occasional three.
Malik Beasley definitely didn't need the ball.
He shot three.
Tim Hardaway Jr. didn't need the ball.
He played defense and shot three.
It was built like the teams we talk about,
where your star player had the ball,
and he kicked it to him.
He was ready, and they locked up.
And this ain't that team, no more.
Yeah, the biggest, one of the biggest complaints
they had about the team in the postseason.
They were just like Kay was getting buckets,
but, like, the role players were so strickey,
and then they second unit scoring
because they were a little bit underhanded.
I think Keros are going to kill that second unit for sure.
But they will miss Dennis 1,000%.
Dennis played very, very well.
And Malik Beasie was a part of the reason of success for sure.
But we will see young teams for sure.
At last, when we get out of the Eastern Conference,
lamello ball, if it's looking shaky, is it going to move?
I mean, shit, yeah, bro.
I mean, we've been waiting for a long time.
He puts on the show, but it's not winning basketball, bro.
And he only played 30 games.
He played some of the best 30 games.
If you just like watching somebody do whatever they want,
watch him.
Watch him.
30 games.
It's going to look good, too.
He's going to show out.
If you want to see somebody shoot
from half court.
But it's bad basketball.
Realistic.
He's the reason why I locked in
the NBA TV, man.
Come on, bro.
That shit is bad basketball, bro.
And the Hornet's got the best broadcast
team in the NBA.
By far.
That's the only reason I watch the Hornet's game.
They would make 20 and 62
feel like a vibe.
It's lit.
They lost 18 in a row.
They win that one game.
They won that one game.
You know, we welcome to a couple games
this year.
I can't wait.
I like them.
That's the fact that ain't no cap.
We like really, like, we got tickets.
Come on.
I'm the real Charlie Horn.
I'm tapped in, baby.
I want to meet them.
I didn't want to meet the players.
I want to beat the broadcast team.
No, for sure.
We locked there.
Keep doing your job.
Hey, but if Lamela go somewhere,
where you feel, Mook.
Man.
Send him to L.A., bro.
That's where you want to be.
Send him to the Clippers or something.
So to be here and see.
Let's go.
To the Clippers, man.
That's where you want to be.
Yeah, if the Clippers don't win this year,
they're probably going to trade Kauai,
and they're going to trade him for Lamella.
Y'all seen Kauai, Charlott, Charlotte.
Oh, it's my practice.
If you put that type of town around my boy,
oh, it's up.
Bradley,
they're going to rebuild with Lamello.
Zubak?
But the only thing is Lamello always hurt,
and I don't think they want to deal with that again, too.
True.
Kaua being hurt all the time.
True.
And they go straight for him for Lamello,
Lamello hurt all the time.
I feel like Lamello won't be hurt as much
if he playing real basketball.
He felt like they can win some games.
If they trade Coah Leonard for La Mello Ball,
that is our last time I've ever seen
Coah Leonard in an NBA uniform.
He was not sure that.
Uncle Dennis is not going for that.
They're going to have to trade you.
Actually, it might work.
The new part owner with the troll of orders.
Dennis Leonard.
Well, y'all got to get him 35% of that.
I got the offer, man.
All right, we'll call on the logo.
All right, what fucking like this is.
The Charlotte Quas.
Check out the offer, man.
For sure, man.
We will see, man.
Basketball's coming back soon.
Let's hop in the Super Chat this morning.
Alex says,
Good morning, guys.

He wrote to me, people.
Um, say the supertachs is none of the pie.
He's doing it.
Why is he averaging?
Yeah, you know how to act?
You know how they act?
Thumbaker was 33.
Right.
As a third year player.
They was on that highlight him killing Ben.
I said he was a grown man.
That wasn't fair, bro.
Van was 16, that niggins was 22.
Walking around high school, man.
Like all them niggins.
Show your paperwork.
State says, love to pie.
I carry my morning.
I need to pull up to Toronto.
Need to see me here and hit that Truffle Shuffle live.
I don't love to go to Toronto.
I've been hearing so many good things about Toronto.
Toronto's a fabulous place.
Thanks.
Can't wait to go.
Local to Supertrak says some Somalis in Minnesota
asked me who I checked in with.
I point to my purple Rantee jersey
and that beep breaks off.
Yeah, I ain't got no one.
I ain't tapped it at all, man.
Tread lightly out through, my boy.
Hey, did Samadz been showing a look?
Hey, respect y'all.
I appreciate y'all in the DMs.
They said, we're good money out there.
So I don't trust them.
They have been showing a lot of love.
We locked on smoke.
We locked in.
Ali Model SuperChair says,
was having a 520 T.
You once mentioned how a rookie
getting drafted to a veteran heavy team
could affect a player of psych and confidence.
Do you think that's what happened with Cam Braddish?
He wasn't drafted to a veteran
he was drafted Atlanta Hawks and they sucked
they did that's true you had opportunity
yeah a thousand percent a lot of opportunity
it was made it was made for
it's a thing I like Camrose she was a cool dude
some people just really not that good
and I'm just being honest like
he was talented he had a lot of upside
but if you looked at what he did when you play
AAU basketball it's not real basketball bro
they don't play no defense
There ain't no schemes, nobody planning nothing.
You play two, three zone, or you play man-to-man.
And don't nobody play defense for real.
You might have one or two people who really lock up.
Yeah.
So a lot of people are skilled.
They can do a lot of things.
You might be six, eight, and it looked good.
You're like, he's going to be a problem.
Oh, he averaged 21.
Hey, it's cool.
But then when you put a plan together to guard him, like, if you watch him at Duke,
he had moments where he had some bright moments.
But most of the year at Duke, he was kind of bad.
And that's why he kind of fell in the draft.
If y'all don't remember, we got him at 10, I think, with the Hawks.
10.
Yeah, we was, like, surprised that he was there because, you know, he was so highly talented.
It's supposed to be fine.
Yeah, he was supposed to be like a 1, 2, 3 or whatever.
He was ranked so high, but we end up getting him at what, 10?
And you see things like, man, he's talented, he's athlete, he got long arms, he can probably defend.
Yeah.
He wasn't really a shot maker.
He's a shot taker.
It looked good.
like he had the moves and all that shit
but let's look at his like efficiency
like
he shot
best he ever shot 44%
but when he's with the Hawks
what years he left the Hawks
36 as like
come on bro
his years and the Hawks was
yeah below 40 basically
for one year
you know what I mean
like it was terrible
and then when it was above 40
the minutes were rather low
so yeah kind of coincides with that
so it was like you had the opportunity
but he was a year
young guy who was
given a lot
and he just didn't know
how to play yet.
He didn't know
how to hone the skills yet
and I think he was
he could have been a good player
he still can't be a good pro
just difficult bro
do you think he would have benefited
for staying in college
or it didn't matter?
I mean no it didn't matter
I think
he went to a team
an organization at that time
who was just so young
and he didn't have to learn
Like, I think he was around some more pros, like a couple veteran wings to teach him out of the ropes.
Paul, George, something like the game.
Yeah, something like that.
But having an opportunity right as being drafted, you weren't really that good at Duke.
You were cool.
But then go to a team where the starting small forward is DeAndre Hunter,
and he might be the same age as you.
Yeah.
Yeah, give me DeHunt.
I mean, they was the same age.
I think he got picked that four, he got picked that 10 or something like that.
I don't even know.
They might have been the same draft.
I can't remember.
It's a difference.
But he was, man, that's a, that's a crazy story.
And you write about everything you said, but just looking at him.
I mean, even the Express was like, yeah, he didn't want.
Because if you look at him, he's tall.
Yeah, bro, just broke it all down.
Everything kind of needs.
It was crazy.
And you look at his game, you talk about all the players that always say,
hey, you who is my hardest stuff, you see the famous,
V-O, Tarese Maxi A, nothing but high praise the camera,
especially on the A-U circuit.
But these, you say those types are a little bit different
in the league, for sure.
Yeah, because you got to think on A-U,
you're playing with people you're comfortable with.
So if you miss three or four shots,
nobody cares.
Them, you know, guys, if I'm better than my guys,
and my guys know, I'm the guy,
and I miss three or four shots,
ain't nobody tripping.
But when you go to a team,
now you miss them three or four shots,
you was used to just, you know,
when we play now in a pro-em game,
I know I can miss 10 shots in a row.
Ain't nobody going to say none.
to me because I might make
the next 10. It don't work
like that in the league. It don't work like that at Duke.
You miss your first five.
You're having a bad game.
It's over with it. You know what I mean?
Yeah. You got six other NBA players
like, hey, hold on.
Swain that peel. It's a little tricky.
Or you got these unnecessary
turnovers. You go to the hole and you just lose the
ball or you, it's fly out your hands
or whatever it is.
They're like, we got to get somebody else in there, and that's what
happened. I mean, yeah, I'm glad you pulled up your money
Bates, same thing with Emani.
Like, these was like
can't miss talents. But when he plays,
he does get, he does, he do be killing
sometimes. I'm not saying that, but you gotta think
when he was at Memphis, like
he went to school early.
Went to Memphis and it didn't show
well because he was used to having a ball
and be able to do whatever he wanted to do.
I miss my first 10 shots. Nobody cares.
That's the worst thing about like a lot of top
ring kids. They used to being the guy.
It's almost better to be a role player
because more people are going to be road players in the NBA
then they are going to be the guy.
And it's easier for you to adapt once you get to that
if you make it to the NBA.
But it ain't that you're not being the guy.
It's you need to be the guy
so you can learn how to like
make other people better.
Like if you're the guy
and all you can do is score,
you're not going to be good.
Like, it's going to be too hard
because everybody can score.
Yeah.
But if you're only known for scoring,
like Kim was known for scoring.
Imani known for getting 40, 50, 60 points.
If you're not Kevin Durant elite level
But even if you watch Kevin Durant play
He know how to play basketball
I know how to come off a pin down
You don't just got to give me the ball
And tell me watch out, let me do my thing
I know how to come off a pin down
I know to hit the open man
I know how to do
I know how to play basketball
Yeah
But I can score
And I'm really fishing
I don't need 50 shots
I can score in the flow of the game
Yeah and I can do it in 10 shots
I can get 25 points on 11 shots
These dudes
That wasn't that
volume scores
Yeah.
Vime shooters, too.
Yeah.
Good question, though, for short in the Superchat.
Let's back in there for a second.

It's so bad out there.
Postseason baseball is different vibe.
Damn.
In the L.A.
Come on, man.
Dodgers can make a move for sure.
Shout out to the Cubs,
getting the best of the Padres.
A surprise or a lot of people didn't think
this was going to happen.
That thought it was going to be built,
but they got taken care of vendors yesterday,
3-1.
Tigers and the Guardians.
Close, close one yesterday, 2-1 as well.
more playoff baseball on the way all right
Johnson's last match team
gonna see how you feel about it man coming up soon
who you think should be the last person he faces
you got any ideas of people that can go out with a strong end of it
I mean obviously they have to put somebody
they're gonna try to put a rocket on
that means like somebody want to boost up
get them going
it could be somebody from NXT
it could be anybody I mean
I've seen some Joe Hendry conversations
I wouldn't like that one I like Joe Hendry
though but
yeah
Last match that took?
I don't know, man.
There's somebody, whoever they want to put a rocket on, definitely going to be their last match.
For me, I would like to fight somebody classic.
Like, I would like to him in one of his best rivalries, whoever that might be.
It could be Seampunk.
It could be any of them.
It would be a nice one to go out like that.
I don't know, though.
Yeah, he for sure can't fight anybody that did him like our boy did.
Brock Lesnar, yeah.
They're going to leave out long.
Brock beat the sleeves off him.
We don't need that no more.
Yeah, taking place in December his last match, man.
Shout to John Cena for sure.
