They was happy he was gone. All right, bro. Nah, we back. They was plied on a downfall. They was happy he was gone. Nah, bro.

Nah, we back. We really protested on Twitter, bro. So, you know, that shit really do work. So stand up for what you believe in. I seen all the NBA teams wanting it back, though. Yeah, bro. They were trying to get some engagement. That's all.

They were trying to ride away. It's really a vibe, bro. It's not meant to tear nobody down, bro. It's really a vibe. Yeah, actually, it kind of is. They just be saying wild shit. You're talking about

the face of the league, the face of the league is the NBA's Suntel, damn it. That's a fact, bro. Free to real. Man. We got to do a collab

this year. It has to happen. Nah, bro, we have to. But we have to meet the people who actually run that page, bro. They are fried. We appreciate it.

For sure. Hey, man, we talk about everything that's going on in the NBA, man, and we always talk about the young guns who are going to be the next faces of the league. But the OGs held it down last night, man. Steph went crazy yesterday and gets the magic. 121-115, vintage Steph Curry game, man. 56 points, 22 in the third quarter. I don't care what everybody else did, man.

Let's just go right there, bro. What the hell was Steph on last night? What's up, bro? The old heads, bro. I don't know. I don't see shit slowing down too soon, man. I don't know. Just wake up and get 56, bro. That's crazy.

That game was insane yesterday. One of the best basketball games I've seen all year. For sure, man. For sure. Especially if you watch that first half. You know what I'm saying? Steph hit that three.

The long distance joint to go into the, you know what I'm saying, next half. And then to come out and have that type of a third quarter. Yeah, bro. But he was just throwing it up, too. He got in that groove, bro. It was like the ocean, bro. 22 and a third is crazy. What, bro?

That was crazy. That was crazy? Yeah, he's throwing it up start like the ocean yeah i don't know i can't say nothing on here boy i don't think except for his 56 point game described like that it's throwing it up that's what he do bro them quick shots bro he got the quickest jumper in the league ah For sure. And it's so disrespectful. The shots that he takes be so disrespectful, bro. Paulo unguardable, though, too. But they just, I mean, shit. They was right there. It's just a step effect too much. It wasn't right there.

The crazy part is they damn right had them down 20 points going into the half. Yeah, but they came back, though. It got ugly. Yeah, they came back, and it was like. It didn't matter no more. It didn't. PB5 was crazy yesterday he had 41 65 france had 27 it just didn't matter bro it's steph it's wardell quarry bro what do you do that's that's his name wardell yeah bro i didn't know that bro so trash you disrespectful that's why everybody calls him step Steph That's why you never Heard him called Wardo

Respect He had a real moment Y'all don't believe in it Y'all don't believe He can do that again Yeah Hell yeah I mean

I'm not four years from now No Back to that conversation He don't have a D He don't have a D Rose moment bro Watch He can do that again though He probably can do that

Again this year. And listen, man. Apparently you don't want to play him on February 27th because a couple times in this past in 2013, he went 11 for 13 from three and had 54. And again in 2016, he had 46 on 12 of 16 from three.

Again. That's Steph Curry day. Come on, man man NBA just gonna start Scheduling a lot of Wild games That nigga been in the league 15 years That's a hell of a drop off

Hey man 16 to 25 Then he took a break So what day though And his name A leap year type So they don't tell it That's the random

Stupid shit That people be doing That's the Warriors hate There's a way He found a way To hate on this That's crazy I celebrate the There's a way he found a way to hate on this. That's crazy to me, yeah. I celebrate the old heads. This is my take.

He did it in 2013, 2016, and 2025. He might not have games on that in 27. Man. We ain't named nobody else who had multiple 50-point games on the same day, so now you gonna find it. I'm just saying. That's crazy, yeah. Y'all know the randomest stats is that bro that shit is lame I

swear to God if I did something on a 13th year the 16th year in the 25th year y'all niggas are not gonna celebrate me to say what if you drop 50 yes we were as Friday we hope you'll be here on Friday so it's like what are we celebrating respect that's the ball life because we're talking about I mean, I mean, I mean, we celebrate the injury experience. I'm just saying, bro. Like he did it in 13, 16 and 25.

And y'all giving this nigga a Steph day. Yes. He ain't playing on the 27th. Oh, what was it? Don't worry. Mike finished. Start finding random dumb shit about people.

We just gonna start highlighting it. Just blasting it out like that. Loki, we gotta do it. Let's do a random highlight. Let's do the total points at the motherfucking

I don't even mean to cuss but I ain't got math for some of you. Let's do the total points at the Charlotte Hornets that lost by in the last three games. Yo, they been getting

murdered. 185. Bro, the last three games yo they been getting murdered 185 bro the last three games I don't know I know I'm skipping ahead but the last three games of the Charlotte Hornets

are crazy like ridiculous but that's just a random anyway hey we didn't need you

to bring it up in 17 step on ahead 19 that's cool that learned from last year We didn't need you to bring it up. In 17, Steph only had 19. That's cool. That learned from last year. I got it, bro. Topic two, man.

What we got? Hey, Steph Curry there. Watch your mouth. Listen, man. I know Jimmy didn't do too much yesterday, but we've seen a totally different team since he's got there, man. Yeah, the energy. They bring a different vibe. Is it sustainable?

Yeah. Okay. It is, bro bro they're scary team playoff time especially the way they clicking yeah could we go to the settings please cuz I forgot exactly where they were but I know they making up ground for show and Draymond said they was gonna win the chip I'm mad at it we heard him we believe I mean They writing that thick of things Yeah They could get to that

They could get to that 6-8 Yeah They can beat the Grizzlies bro Yeah You think that's a better spot for them to be at? For real They can't beat the Nuggets No no

Can't beat the They might be able to beat the Lakers They can't beat the Nuggets though Nuggets is a no-no Thunder might be quiet too I don't know though I don't know bro They might be able to get the Thunder

They can't beat the Nuggets though That's a team they can't beat Yeah, they're going to get destroyed But the Grizzlies, that's not a good matchup for them No Anybody else they can beat, but they can't beat the Nuggets I got the Warriors beating the Grizzlies for sure Oh, for sure?

For sure, for sure I ain't mad, I'm not mad at all Because you got the best player in the series And you know what I'm saying, you got Jimmy Butler I ain't seen nobody else in the Grizzlies really get a job like that in the postseason So I have to triple J, but he got to show something for sure Listen, another old man going crazy yesterday. Brian went insane yesterday with 33.

They got the W over Timberwolves yesterday, 111 to 102. Brian, 33, 17 to six. Luka, 21, 13 to five, and also Reeves with 23, six and five. I knew they was gonna beat them boys. They got a three-headed monster, bro. That's been playing well together. Luka ain't really had a Luka-Luka game. Like one of them crazy breakout games. But he's

been playing good, solid. But Austin Reeves consistently getting 20 as that third option. That's scary. Yeah. And I know a lot of Laker fans have been happy with the defense because I know they're a little bit in question with AD leaving. But they've been rotating really well, obviously.

Hey, man, I don't know. Brown been playing great defensively, but he holding other people accountable. You can tell he holding Luka accountable. Like, hey, you're going to have to get them rotations, bro. If it's anybody who can hold him accountable, it's Brown. It's definitely Brown. And Brown don't play defense like that no more. So, for him trying to bring that to the table,

I think he feel like they got a chance to do something. Yeah, I always love the LeBron misses assignment and then yells at somebody else. That's one of my favorite clips they got up there too. There's so many of those. He be going off on niggas. He be the one wrong. 33-17-6 at 40.

Damn. Come on, man. Respect, man. It's LeBron James, bro. Lakers are now one and a half games back from second place. Lakers, they will go back

to their stands again. Yeah, they keep playing at this rate, bro. Them Lakers fans be all in my DMs, boy. Respect. Is four a good place for them to be at, though?

Man. Because you probably, I mean, I don't think they can beat the Thunder. They can beat the Clippers. I don't think they can beat the they can beat the Clippers I don't think they want to beat the

Rockets I mean they can beat the Rockets if they get the two it's sweet I don't think they want to play the Nuggets though

that's what I'm saying that's what I would probably want to stand for you can handle the Rockets and then take your chances against the

Thunder for sure but I don't want to see Yoke yeah I don't really want to play Yoke they can handle the Thunder.

Lakers, they fun to watch, though. I never liked watching the Lakers, too. I hate watching the Lakers, but they're kind of decent to watch now with Luka. Most definitely. Did y'all see LeBron talk about the face of the league conversation? Yeah. I thought that was fire. He's like, why do y'all keep pressing this?

Why would anybody want to be the face of the league the way y'all be talking shit about them? Like, that's not rewarding for anybody right now. You just get crucified, basically. Yeah, like, who wants to do that? For what? Yeah, just pray me, bro. It don't matter. The people will pick it.

Why do you want to be the face of the league when all the people that cover our game and talk about our game on a day- day basis. Don't everybody have that responsibility? That's just weird. It's weird energy people that, I don't know, but he said it perfectly couldn't say no better. But and say you don't want it. I mean, obviously I didn't ask for it. But I knew there was a responsibility for me, not only to my family, my friends, my community, and whoever that was going to follow my journey throughout my career.

Not only in Ohio when I started there, but all over America and all over the world when I traveled all over the world. So, I've always taken that seriously and understood from the beginning what being a professional was all about and being a role model was all about. Yeah, Brian said, yeah, y'all niggas ain't me, but I feel like y'all want to do it. Ain't nothing to gain from it at this point,

but major scrutiny. Like you said, get paid anyway. Yeah, just get paid, bro. The people going to pick. You know, we're going to debate about that. That really don't really mean nothing for real. So limited minutes for AESJ because he got ejected in the third quarter. 16 texts. He got to chill out.

He do. Yeah, we like him for having an attitude and caring, but he too hype. Yeah. He's hot. Yeah. Something, something. He's starting to take a role that people about to stop liking him. Certainly. It'd be that switch.

People be like, all right, bro. Yeah. You know, from the off the court stuff to the, they're going to start trying to paint him as like a messed up person. And they're going to bridge all that stuff together. Yeah. And you're going to be able to win. You don't want to be the face of the league? Cool. Yeah. All right. And then you say, like yeah you don't want to be the face of Lee cool yeah and then you say like you don't want to be the face of the league so

then they gonna highlight the other stuff that you do to make sure you not the face of the league yeah they gonna try to make you the villain which is cool somebody got played a villain role but you don't want that though nah nah you know because he really want to be love he got a dope personality that's and he's a hell of a basketball player he played again the right way he'll be on the weird shit like yeah he should be celebrated for sure but don't give him no ammunition throwing the ball understands it's crazy yeah unbelievable basketball player but they are gonna start bridging that shit together like he a asshole you don't give a fuck kind of name yeah bro we seen them turn their backs on Allen Iverson anybody's

up for game bro yeah I mean it's gotta make Allen Iverson seem like he hated shit so for sure yeah he won't be playing tonight so he got some PTO off but yeah good win for Lakers man they could take care of business for show also another good way yesterday the books took care of the Nuggets yesterday 121 and 112 Giannis had 28 19 and seven yesterday he was balling dame had 19 as well yoke showed up as usual with 32 14 to 10. jamal murray had 25. good win for the bucks yesterday man did y'all see uh yannis trolling what do you say singing Glow Real of the Day. Damn, that's one of y'all.

That was funny. That's wild, man. Dame ain't going to be able to shake that. Nah, he ain't never beaten him out of the game. He can't shake that. That's funny. Oh, you got the clip? Let's go.

He probably never talked to that girl. It don't matter. It don't. It don't. It don't. That's your girl, bro. Singing Fuck Nigga Free. Nah, he singing G-O-2-D. That's your work wife, Dane.

It's cool, bro. She does not work in NBA. Nah, she's a part of the whole entertainment life, bro After Steve Smith, you cannot say work wife Oh, man I know people talk about y'all as off the court But like, off the court But y'all just seem like a real chill dude To get along with me in the locker room

It's like he just be on some other shit Bruh, yeah, he cool I mean, he a super cool dude you just be chilling he wanted the guys for sure this is when we get on that court bro is so yes it's time hello y'all you ain't getting that pill hey trying to do each on win you don't believe in you helping win looking your ain't looking your way. But off the court, he's super chill. For sure. Shout out to the Super Chat.

KDA underscore 15. What is y'all realistic expectation of Denver? We have the third hardest remaining schedule behind Phoenix. It's in Sacramento and have a suspect defense at best. Man, y'all Denver. Y'all got Jokic. I think y'all be all right. I think y'all be a top five team in the West. A lot of people in the West don't want to see them It don't matter where they at scene wise

Niggas don't want to see Jokic in the series man And if Jamal Murray keep playing like he been playing That gonna be a tough out for sure That'd be alright Western Conference Finals Is that possible? Yeah they been there before Okay for sure

Alright which I think the Bucks gotta do to keep Yannis happy man Just keep winning Is that possible? Yeah, they've been there before. Okay, for sure. Yeah. All right, which I think the Bucs got to do to keep Giannis happy, man. Just keep winning? Yeah, they got to go to the conference finals. Okay, conference finals with Bucs. I can see that. Especially with Kyle Kuzma on this team now. He's like how they kind of jumped a little bit.

I know we was talking about the absence of Chris Middleton. We may not see that until the playoffs for sure, but the way he fit in with the team, man, Giannis starting to rock with him a little bit. Yeah, I got to see when it matter a little more. Yeah. I need to see, like, them last 10 games of the season where seeding actually going to matter. Okay.

I'm all with that for sure. Super chat. We got a question there? Okay, never mind. Moving on. Suns lose another game. Damn. For the seventh time in eight games games Took an L to the Pelicans

124 to 116 Shout out to Zion man First trippy dub yesterday 27-10 in 11 CJ had 19 Trey Murph dog had 18 D-Book hooped out yesterday With 36-97

And KD had 28-5 You said it's open gym vibes Yeah bro that's it Get your stats Get your stats They Get your stats. They don't care, bro. Yeah, they're definitely not trying to make the play and it don't seem like it. Yeah, so I don't know what they're trying to do, grab a pick or whatever.

But just because they are healthy, I think they are the most disappointing team. Over the Sixers? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, just because I've been at them, they're full of strength all year. Y'all got a solid five, bro. I don't see why y'all just this horrible. Y'all got the best players in the league

at they positions. Hell of a coach too. It just ain't clicking. Yeah. I've told you I ain't like that team from the beginning. I told you I thought Coach Booker figure it out for him, but he can't. Most definitely. They got to trade KD in the offseason.

They should have traded him at the deadline. I know KD didn't want to leave, but KD in year, what, 18 or something like that? 19? Mm-hmm. Yeah, 06. I know KD hoop. He different from us. He hoop.

He love hooping. He going to keep hooping. That's what he do. But I love to see KD playing in the playoffs, like competing for some. Because he's just too great of a talent to be at home. For sure. When everybody else is going to be getting highlighted, we're going to have to forget about Kevin Durant in the playoffs.

We're going to be talking about Jason Tatum. Probably Ant-Man. Everybody else. Yo, everybody else. Yo yo all these greats bra and Katie gonna be left out of that conversation when he had to that's that's well said especially like it's just like his career he should be a customer team competing every year yeah I get he didn't go to words midseason like I know which I had going on either like but yeah he gotta go get somewhere man that makes sense for him yeah I mean should you know that wasn't the Bob so should have been hoping bro like okay see you bounced out early they losing a second round I should just

go get Katie if I'm okay see I'm doing it regardless I got the assets, bro. Not regardless, though. If they make it to the conference finals or to the championship and they lose. Yeah, if they have a run like Minnesota did last year, keep the squad together. Yeah. Keep the band together, bro. Oh, nah, bro. Because that's what hurt the Timberwolves, though, bro. Because you got to give up one of them young players, and I don't know which one you want to give up for Kevin Durant.

That's true. They got hella picks, too. But you're going to have to give up a young player. But you can't let Chet and Jalen go. Oh, no. You don't do that at all. So, you're going to give up who they don't want. They don't want.

Everybody else is just a gray system guy. No disrespect, but. You're going to have to get a high level of design. If you want KD, you're going to have to get some smoke. But, shit, y'all don't have a future. So, I can give y'all a future. Y'all don't have no future at all. I have enough to give y'all that.

I know you're going to have to give a young player. You can't talk to me like that, bro. I can because y'all are going to lose them anyway. I'm going to give you the most first-round picks anybody can. I can help you rebuild your franchise right now. I'll give you three first-round picks, KD. And two seconds. Got to get way more.

Can't talk to me, too, bro. Five first-round picks? Yesterday's price is not tonight's price. Can not trade me cheese bro Five first round picks Alright bro This is not Yesterday's price Is not tonight's price Can not trade me bro He probably They probably Ain't trading for it

Three Luka just went for The back dojo So hey You gonna get what you get No Luka went for A quality piece Yeah bro

He was supposed No bro Luka was supposed What Kyle Corbett Tell y'all bro They was supposed to get Six first round picks For Luka bro

They was supposed to get the picks, bro. I don't give a damn what he talking about, bro. But the Suns ain't going to be in a position really to negotiate too much. They need the future, bro. They sold up all their future. They probably can get four first-round picks, three first-round picks for KD and a couple young players. Like, uh... You got to give up Lou Dort?

So be it. Yeah, they probably got to give up Lou Dort. So be it. Respect. gotta give up a little door so be it shout out to little door but Kevin Durant it's a good Alexander a chair hoggle NBA championship for sure me interest before we get off the topic who winning a series between them to a full strength sons of Philadelphia I don't even like talking about them I don't disagree let's move on shot design man first triple-double man yeah freaky Z man I was I can stay just on the court man he's so good yeah they say he's a young guard up or two that's a we had a conversation on a pod about no sense somebody a

young talent who can move on and help somebody else I think signs that person you gotta get out in the world bro put him on a good team. Let my boy Ridley Hoop. He'll go somewhere and kill for real. Yeah, he's nice. I don't know. Where would you see him going, though? Where would it make sense for him to go? I'm sending him to Memphis. Memphis, what you know about me?

Send him to Memphis for Triple J? I mean, I'll just send him there. Just go there. You're going to say that? What? You can't answer. He's a liability, bro.

We don't know, bro. Just get him. Just let me have him, bro. Y'all ain't doing right with him, bro. Let me get him, bro. I'm out of pocket for saying let's get Kevin Durant as a pick. And you just sent Zion off the trip. Kevin Durant more mobile, bro.

More durable, bro. Yeah. I don't know if I want to. Yeah. That'll be an exciting team. Zion and John Morant. Send him to San Antonio. I don't think he a better player than Triple J.

I think he a better star. I don't think he a better player. For sure. I don't think you can. I don't know. I ain't never seen Zion play long enough to say if you can win or not with him. So, I don't think he a better player For sure I don't think You could I don't know I ain't never seen Zion Play long enough to say If you can win or not with him

So I don't know That's a fair take Triple J is more Durable I like Zion better though Get more production from him When he healthy

That's what I'm saying He only been healthy for like 10 games You right bro That's what I'm saying Let me just have you Let me just He only been healthy for like 10 games. You're right, bro. That's what I'm saying. Let me just have him. Let me just get him. Take my bet and he come back killing.

No take backs. Carvey Rowe from the Super Chef says, when you look at how K got the pisses playing, look at how LaMelo expect him, what K is doing as far as leading the team and being better. No. No. I told y'all.

People said I was hating. This is funny, man. People said I was hating. i told y'all people said i was hating these is funny man people said i was hating i told y'all lamello never won he never been the leader of his team that one his dad said it shit that's true he's always been a highlight reel yeah kate cunningham led mount vert yeah winners because his brothers is why they won. Yeah. Lonzo was spectacular in high school. Elite. So, it's different.

Jello was the bucket getter. Lonzo was the leader. Yeah. LaMelo was a young, exciting player. Yeah. When they dip, he dip too. Yeah. But, I mean, it is LeVar park fought on that end because they used to get their

ass thumped and au because they played with all the neighborhood kids bro and i respect it i mean it made him the thing that he did he kind of did it like gilbert arena son he not literally he made him be spectacular because he had to do so much on the court. Yeah. So he was able to do everything, rebound, pass, shoot, and he became a hell of a player, but he never had to win. Yeah. He had to survive without no help. Yeah. And that's what he was doing out there.

I hope, hopefully, Gilbertson transitioned better than that. I think he probably will. And also, to ask Samelo to lead the Charlotte Hornets is ridiculous. Asking anybody to lead that team is really unfair. But Detroit was in the same position last year, though.

Yeah. Both mid. Yeah, they got some more vets in that locker room in Detroit, though. Nah, fuck that, bro. They damn near got better players, though,

in Charlotte, bro. Markel Bridges, Brandon Miller. Those quality players. Freaky Mark. I mean,l Bridges, Brandon Miller. Those quality players. Freaky Mark. I mean, Miles Bridges is nice. You got B. Miller for sure. But B. Miller, what?

Second year in the league? You can't ask him to do much. Tim Consummate. I think they just move more capable, bro. Tobias been there for a while. I ain't disagree with the talent. I ain't going back and forth on that one. I'm just saying.

Like this, Kay Cunningham is doing a whole lot, bro. Go to the Charlotte Hornets roster. For sure. He's doing a whole lot. Yeah, that Pistons roster ain't spectacular by no means. That's why it's no excuse for the Mellow. Seth Curry. Seth just got there this year, though, but shout out to him.

Shout out to Taj. He there. Y'all was gassing, Trey, man. Iverson. Yeah, he was. See, that's the shirt. I got John Williams, but he got hurt. Well, they got people.

BSKid96 says, after a season like the Cavs, if you don't win it all, how's a hangover like the 2015 Hawks? Are we confident, or do you feel like we missed our chance? They younger than us. They all got paid already. We all was trying to get paid. They whole team paid. Darius Garland paid.

Tony Reyes says, Jet, as a high school coach, how do you ensure the kids are developing and ensuring that they're coached to be well-rounded? Also, how do you feel about AU now?

You know, as a high school coach, it's kind of crazy because you feel like you got a lot of time with the kids, but you really don't. You got two hours with them after school, right? And you got 30 kids in your program, 30, 35 kids, from freshman to JV to varsity. You really don't got that much time with kids. You got to trust your coaches, but you can't do individual work with them.

They got to do that kind of stuff on their own time to see if they develop as a player. You can help them with They got to do that kind of stuff on their own time to see if they're developing as a player. You can help them with concepts and stuff like that and learning defensive schemes or whatever, but developing as a player that's something you got to do on your own time. It's too many kids. You got to build a team

so somebody working on their individual game is kind of tough, but making them a well-rounded player, you can teach them defensive schemes, how to be unselfish and stuff like that, the right plays to make, but as an individual player to get better, you got to do that on your own. Most definitely. For sure. Cam,

FTG says, Tig, how does it feel being on the Hawks all-time team on 2K? Damn, that's hard. I'm on there. Damn, I didn't even know that. That's raw. That's what's up. I didn't know that. For sure, that's raw. That's fire. Last but certainly not least, Jim Cornette asked,

Yeah, he gotta make all NBA teams, should he be able to promote and prove player award? He will make it all NBA team. You don't have to worry. Yeah, he got to make all NBA teams.
