I thought that 19 and a half was enough. Clearly it was not, man. No, they beat the dog shit out of them. But Jackson State really the ones who sold me for real.

Starting point is 00:02:21 Stock X. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells. We got a full house this Tuesday morning. We got Teague. We got Bishop. We got Mook. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? What's that, man? Listen, we at the past halfway point in the NBA season, man, midseason break, all-star breaks. We want to go through some stuff, man. See what we was right about. See what we was wrong about. Let's start with a couple of mid-season awards, man. MVP right now. Man, let's first things first. Go to the reigning MVP. SGA. A little season so far, man, 31, 6 and 4. Missed a couple games. Still, got the best record in the league.
Starting point is 00:02:53 How are you feeling about Shane's chance to repeat this year so far, man? Chances are pretty high, bro. Pretty high? Yeah, it's looking pretty good for him. Yeah. Can't really see nobody else getting it. This is best game of the season so far. He had 55, 8, and 5 against my pacer's.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Very disrespectful. I think his game is rose in another level. He's shooting 39% from the 3. Yeah. And that's what everybody said, you know, his kryptonite was the 3-point. Be one of a 39% from 3. That was really good. Phenomenal shooting.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Like he said, almost 50, 40, 90 right there, 89% from the free throws. 55 from the field. And he shoots a lot of middies, which is crazy. A fishing season, man. We talked about last year being one of the best guard seasons you could have. And he repeated it again this year. SGA looking crazy so far. man, shout out to him doing his thing.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Somebody else, you know what I'm saying? We always say he should have got it. Joker killing this year. We know he missed a little bit of time, averaging 29, 12, and 10. Troopydub. Damn. Joker got a chance to get SGA about that spot this year to be here? Nah.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Nah, he ain't rolling? Nah, SGA, he back to back, bro. Oh, light work? He plus 300 right now, not bad. I'm from Joker, his best game on Christmas Day. Historic performance, 56, 16, and 15. not able to feel it somehow done. This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I guess he was saying it every year. His numbers continue to grow and be better than. Anthony Edwards 10 points early for Minnesota and the Koliokia chest nine and only the nuggets trailing here in the first quarter. Right from half court. It's crazy that he can do that, bro. Half horseman. He could average 40 if he wanted to.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Nah, for real. The Vikings won earlier. It's kind of harder to deny them crazy-ass numbers too, though. It is. Jolly, y'all said the team plays a part in the two, so shit. That's why it, that's why SGA get the nod. Yeah. Team success is a big part of that.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Hmm. Because them numbers is, that's damn the Westbrook numbers when he had a triple double season. What a pass. Come on, man. 56, 16, and 15, best game so far of the season. Okay, y'all had an interesting conversation during the highlights about this. OKC team and Nuggette team. Who relies upon a star more between the two?
Starting point is 00:05:29 Shit, Denver. Denver. Yeah. They ain't even close. You ain't be sitting out, bro, and them niggas be winning. Denver played pretty well when Joker was out too, though, but. Yeah. They had a spur.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Jamal Murray definitely picked it up one of his better seasons last couple of years. Eric Gordon missed some time as well. But the resurgence, like you said, some of the young guys in that squad, the Peyton Watson showing up and giving them quality minutes. Christian Brown as well. So there's a guy, Julian Strother, he'd be going crazy as well. We haven't seen what we thought we were going to get from Cam Johnson yet, but Tim Hardaway Jr. has been producing.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Yeah. They lost that trade in a major way. For sure. Hey. And I was high on that trade. Yeah. I thought he fit perfectly with that system. And obviously it's the first.
Starting point is 00:06:12 It's an adjustment year for him this first year there. And they play a totally different brand of basketball than Brooklyn. But MPJ over there looking crazy. Looking crazy. 26 a night. killing. Yeah, he looked super crazy. I know it may be a money discrepancy,
Starting point is 00:06:28 but do you think they should just been patient with MPJ? You know what I'm saying? Because obviously he was injured last year. It was time to move on, man. It was good for him. It was a lot of chicken on the books. Yeah, it was time to move on.
Starting point is 00:06:40 It was the best thing for MPJ. Yeah. For sure. And I think he looked forward to leaving. Yeah. Like, I think he knew in his heart he could do the things that he's doing in Brooklyn. Not a lot of us thought that.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I mean, I think y'all did. I definitely said 25. I did too. Yeah, I had more faith than the other dude over there. I thought he was a fifth day team. I didn't think Cam was going to have no damn 25, but I thought he does fit that team. He just struggling a little bit.
Starting point is 00:07:06 But as far as the way he plays the game, spacing, he's a smart player. MPJ is like way better than Cam Thomas. No, he is. But I feel like Cam Johnson. I feel like he's going to help him in the playoffs still. Yeah, yeah. That's how we're going to say.
Starting point is 00:07:23 For the money. Yeah. The money that they spent in that situation, you go to Tim Hardaway Jones every hell of a season. I looked out last year in Detroit, still killing this year. Bruce Brown having already been there in the system. I agree. They had to move that money around.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Yeah, they got a lot of, they got a big return on that investment, though. I ain't going to lie. If he is. Getting Bruce Brown back and Tim Hardaway, who was averaging 14 off the pond. He's shit out of the ball. He's playing well. That's a great addition. Bruce Brown playing well.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Yes, sir. Jim Johnson struggling, whatever. He'll find his footing. Yeah. But I think it was a good trade overall. But when you look at the player for player, when they say Kim Johnson and MPJ, because that was the main guys in that trade, they got these other guys in free agency kind of, I guess.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Are they traded for Bruce Brown? Yeah. But whatever, they're going to put these two together. You're going to look and say, damn, MPJ look crazy. Yeah. I mean, both of them have a success. As long as Bruce Brown put on a Nuggets jersey, his game sliders go up, bro. That's a fact, bro.
Starting point is 00:08:24 It's like Lance when he put on a Pacer's jersey. Yeah, the game starts just go up. Just the team he's supposed to be on. Yeah. No, you ain't wrong. Now, one thing that's interesting is what they're going to do going forward. Christian Bron got paid, obviously. Payton Watson, he is due for a payday, just offseason.
Starting point is 00:08:38 And they should have paid him. Tap in last summer, and he is playing his ass off right now. They've got to pay him. He hurt right now, but I... Yeah, yeah. He's gone. He didn't earn his bread. Yeah, he's gone, bro.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Yeah. He should already paid him. He's going to be gone. And we're fans of his. We love him on this pod. He's gone for the love. Yeah, that's my guy. But he definitely gone.
Starting point is 00:08:57 I can see him in Chicago somewhere. Someone was looking for a rebuild to start with a new young wing, capable wing. You give him a hundred? I'm not a paid fee. 15. He definitely got to get a little, nothing less than 15, 16. And that 15 really kind of skew because of how the numbers was low to begin
Starting point is 00:09:18 of season. If you go off his last 20, last 30, that's really about 20 up there. Yeah, Chicago can afford it. I was just speaking, not speaking on his breath, I'm just saying Chicago. Yeah, somebody after. Yeah, because last time, last time we did that with people bred, uh, QG. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:35 And we were like, man, you ain't worth $25, man, you tripping. And he really works $20 million. Yeah, get, oh, get all. Shout to the real too guard. My boy, Quinn Grounds. I'm just saying, when you said Chicago, it just made me think like, nah, they can afford him.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Oh, yeah, definitely. But, like, you know, he's like an up-and-coming wing. Like, not to say, like, MPJ, because he might have the same potential than MPJ. Like, MPJ was around 8. He left, went to Brooklyn, he's 26. He might be around 15. He'd leave and go somewhere else with more opportunity.
Starting point is 00:10:03 He might be a 20-point score. Yeah, I ain't mad at that. Okay, I like this comparison. And Jay McDaniels? Yeah, that's a good. Yeah, and Jay McDaniels got $100 plus million. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It ain't.
Starting point is 00:10:15 It ain't far off. Yeah, it ain't. And they both playing for winning teams. So I can see him getting 100. I mean, Christian Brown got 100. Yeah. That's a fact. And he's really playing better than him.
Starting point is 00:10:25 No, facts. He is. Yeah, offensively, I like Peyton Wopson every day over Christian Brown respectfully. But, yeah, like you said, they're in great situations because all those involved got a chip with that team. So now that's time to get paid for show. You got to help a copseman out the way. He's looking like a hundred million dollar player. I'm rolling, man.
Starting point is 00:10:41 The cops. Yeah. You look across the board from production standpoint, that 15, 16 in game. And what are he like? 22, 23. Yeah, yeah, he'll be a hundred. Young boy, that's a hundred. Yeah, it's a hundred.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Yeah, a brodie got that. I need it. Yeah. Give me to fuck off this team. Pay my dog, man. Shout out to pay him. They might know what's up, man. They might keep him.
Starting point is 00:11:01 I hope so if you want to be there. That's going to be a tough trade, though. Yeah. Yeah, it's a tough contract to move on from. It's tough to move on from that. But I shout to both of them. Hey, good problem to have, man. Shout out to Denver.
Starting point is 00:11:14 You can keep killing. Moving on, man, our guy, Kaye Cunninghill. MVP conversations plus $1,400 right now. If you're a bed man, season, averages of 25, 10, and 6 rebounds. Elba season to start off, man. Let's go to his best game. It gets the Wizards,
Starting point is 00:11:28 46, 12, 11, and 5 steals. Shout to my boy, Kay. That's crazy. You can kill them. Shot all of them shot. And I get MVP. I think I was watching this guy. Yeah, real buckets.
Starting point is 00:11:40 These is great numbers. I think Aunt need to be up there too, though. Hey, yeah. Right here. It's fun. Aunt. Well, we're talking about Kay right now. I say.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Cush. This nigga cold. Yeah, Kay Cunningham Give me him over any point guard In the lead right now I don't care no more Okay I've seen enough
Starting point is 00:12:01 Is SGA a point guard Yeah Except for SGA Okay I'm mad at it moot Why though I just like his The way he controlled that team
Starting point is 00:12:15 He's like him because he's tough I love him because he talks But the way he control that team Bro, they'd be sad without him bro That's a fact I think MVP needs to be given out based off that as well that is kind of like an underrated thing yeah Pistons number one in the east
Starting point is 00:12:32 Kay Cunningham like you said if he is not on this team they are definitely in the runnings for AJ DeBonsor and Darren Peterson 1,000% JD is an all-star we got a lot of quality players we wouldn't say they have another superstar on that team but that's why I think he should just be higher though bro just because how important you are to your team
Starting point is 00:12:50 I feel like when you make your teammates that much better, that show what type of basketball player you are. Yeah. You can elevate everybody around you. That's what makes Brian. Because if he got MVP, I swear to God, even though I think I see it,
Starting point is 00:13:00 I wouldn't be mad at it just because, yeah, bro. He is the team, bro. He means so much, bro. His stats just, like, them are great stats. Like, them are phenomenal. But when you see somebody,
Starting point is 00:13:13 average 30. 31? Yep. Who are the most important nigga on the team? Yeah, your impact, I think impact isn't very important. Because like we said, if Kay goes on a 10 game, stretch where he's not playing. They lose, bro.
Starting point is 00:13:29 It's wicked, bro. But he set out some games and they still won. That's a fact. The vibes is high. Everybody playing their role, too. But if he missed extending my time in the team, a little bit different. Jayland Duren turned into a goddamn point four when he was out. Crossing people.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I'm saying they ain't going to be as bad as the patients because the patients are God awful, but they'd be like. are necessary. Above. No, I'm saying it'll be like... What's going down, tomorrow? No, I'm going to hold it. No.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Leave it a low, Jeff. Leave it alone, Chip. Leave it alone, man. I'm just saying I think that it'll have a big drop-off like that, is all I'm saying. Yeah, eventually it'll catch up with him if he was out for a significant amount of time. But I don't know, man, SGA just what he's doing,
Starting point is 00:14:19 yes. It's hard to, like, top that right now. Another fact I put it in for Kay, he got the city rocking again too. Like we're going up to a game, the vibes in Detroit are high, and they've been really low for a while.
Starting point is 00:14:31 You know how like, who was we talking to? Was it Fred? He was like, you got to have that, you know, before you make the all-star team, you got to have a good year before. Yeah, yeah. I feel like that's what it is for Kay. Like, he having that year
Starting point is 00:14:44 that everybody can actually take him like, damn, he's one of the elite players in our league. He's a top five player in the league. he's going to be one of our franchise guys. Well, obviously he's a franchise guy, but one of our faces of the NBA soon. And, like, he was number one pick. He's been groomed to be that because he was the number one pick,
Starting point is 00:15:01 but now he's kind of coming into his own. And it's like, it's good to see, but I think he's in that first step. And then, like, next year, might be his year. Okay. Like, it's about 28. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, it's the same thing how we felt about aunt.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Like, we thought this was an aunt year. We did. We all felt like, damn, last year he took that leap. And this year he was going to be MVP. making one of the all-starred game MVP is elite but it's just tough when you got SGA like being an accident sister is like and they shit if they don't got am bro it's it's wicked for the timber wolves too bro he's having one of his best shooting years bro yeah yeah i mean you got luka he's shooting 40 from three it's tricky bro the numbers in the NBA right now is insane
Starting point is 00:15:42 yeah because you got luka doing absurd shit like you said if you're bedman plus two thousand for luka MVP mook said board electors is wasting his MVP campaign Oh, not career, excuse me, season average of 33, 9 and 8. Average in 25 back when Johnston and it was playing with great. I just like Ann better than Luca
Starting point is 00:16:02 because he's more efficient than Luca. It's his best game of the season so far against the Bulls. January 26, 46, 10, and 7. Average of 25 now is light. Get off, man. Fucking MPJ average 25, bro. It's light now.
Starting point is 00:16:18 No, MPJ really liked that No, he is like that, but I'm saying Back, that kid is not like Sporn, bro. If you average 25, you was fucking hooping, bro. Yeah, because they only average like 100 points a game. Yeah, he was killing. End up, so what?
Starting point is 00:16:43 Like, Luca nice. He's super nice. I guess I just don't like how his look compared to everybody. Mm-hmm. I can see that. I think his effortless is the same. and shades just look different because he do stuff that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:58 That's crazy right there. He's unbelievable at basketball. His pace is his pace no matter what. That's tough. I just think you could never win like this, though. Yeah, I feel like he hold the ball and got the ball so long. And it's slow, so it takes a long time. Like, every time Luca's score is like seven on the clock.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Look at the rest of the team, too. They just standing there. Yeah. Just looking at them. I don't deserve the ball, bro. That's what it looks like, though. But he played with the Braggia. It might be true, but I'm just saying, like, when I look at, like, SGA and them, it looked like a fun brand of basketball.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Even though he getting 30 points a game, it don't look like nobody else can eat. Because he's going downhill a lot. Yeah, I still see Jalen Williams and them still having moments. I still see Chet having moments. Yeah. Yeah, like, even though Austin Reeves and Brian, they, who they are, it's, like, tough to watch him. Lucas shoot a lot of slow, side steps, phase. That's Jake going downhill, bro.
Starting point is 00:17:55 bro, it's faster. So I'm a boy. If Luca in the conversation on God, aunt need to be up there, bro. Ain't no way. Ain't no way. Aunt should be in there. I agree with you on it.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Better than Luca? Yes. Better? The only reason I would say it because he played both sides, bro. Yes, bro. And that's y'all high on that, two-way shit. And his shooting percentages, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I could be wrong, but I'm sure he ain't shooting a ball better than Luca this year. All right, some of their percentage-wise. If you asked me which one I would take between the two, I'm taking eight, too. Just because he's going to compete more. more, bro. Yeah. He'll compete more. Yeah, I mean, he makes there at 30.
Starting point is 00:18:28 29. Yeah, bro, that's crazy, bro. You're going to compete. That's my nigga shooting 40 from the three. He'll give you 30 and guard the other team, best players. 50, 40, 80, probably. On God, bro, he better than that nigga. Ain't.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I'm better than Luca, bro. I don't care what I'm not. I'm not going to take it off. Him not even being on that list. It's by Catch him off. Race of peace, Jesse Jackson. Talk to him here. Jesse died.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yeah, man, recipe is Jesse Jackson made pathway this morning, man. Damn. Jason, yeah, man. During Black History, my man. Got to pour one out for my dog, man. Man, R-P, Jesse. Wip, man. Damn, that plane, man, be here.
Starting point is 00:19:09 No, we're not going to do that. Because he called him a mannequin. Oh. What's on Stevie, yeah? Well, you said he needed to be in the museum. Yeah, well. No, I was. I said it.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Stop, bro. Yeah, bro. He got to say he's there and asshole. Stop. Stop. RIP to Jesse Jackson, bro. Yeah, I'm not like that. That's cool, though.
Starting point is 00:19:34 He was holding the motherfuckers. Yeah, bro. He lived in an over-life, bro. He was like 93? Yeah, bro. If I make to 93, bro, fuck it. Yeah, bro. No, it was Jesse.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Probably like 84 or some shit like that. Chowell Jesse Jackson is bad. 84 is a long time to live. Nah, that's when I want to go. I don't know if he's really 84. He's seen a lot of advances in his lifetime, man. Shout out Jesse Jackson. And then it goes through all the Civil Rights stuff

And then in a pickup game, watching the bubble doing some people, but like that, I've never seen this. at all. This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Like somebody that weighed 268 pounds, 270. He could move that fast. He probably the better player. He looks crazy. But this nigga's amazing. Like the first time, no glazing. But the first time I seen LeBron, I just couldn't believe. Like, I seen Joe Johnson.
Starting point is 00:28:46 He was 6-8, 260. And I see how he moved. He moved like a truck. Like, boom, won, won. Then I seen LeBron. He's flying. I'm like, what the fuck? And they moved like Derek Rose.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Yeah, like how. He's matching U.S.B. Yeah, like. How, bro. Like, what the fuck? No, no. Shout to Wimby, man. Then he hit his head on the backboard.

Starting point is 00:29:28 me and the best player in the league. When Brian Lee. Nah, give me yonness. Nah, I'm taking, I'm taking Wimby. Give me yon.

Starting point is 00:29:43 Yogi's about to get back to them horses. I should say, he's still, he's still better than all of them. Hey, you see what the wife?
Starting point is 00:29:49 As in, he said, you know the answer to that. I want my horses to win. Yeah, he'll be, you think that Wimby be the face of the league next year or whenever LeBron
Starting point is 00:29:56 retired, You think it'd be Wimby? It's Wimby, bro. Yeah, I think they grooming them to be. Because Joker don't want it. I mean, Joker don't even want to be. A.E. He don't want me.

Starting point is 00:30:15 He's going crazy. I think he's the same boat as an A.E. Devon Book or Jalen Brown. I think they're all in the same boat. Yeah. Second-tier MVP votes. This niggas B-Wade with a burner, bro. He is.
Starting point is 00:30:29 He's cold. You know what's crazy? I wish I would have got James earlier in the season because the struggles that they had. Don was still hooping, but the team success was so low that he wouldn't even consideration because he's still been bawling all year, bro.
Starting point is 00:30:41 He's the only reason that team was afloat. James unlocked our pro man, stretch. Jared Allen. Jared Allen, hooping now. But I don't even say that because he was killing before James came. Oh, not like that.
Starting point is 00:30:52 He was on the right track, bro. He had 40, 29, then James Harding. He knew the trade was coming. But this is what's crazy. He had 40 and bits what's shot. Well, it's crazy to me. Everybody was saying he was on the trade block. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Oh, he was. He said the two. His ass was crazy. And then he said, oh, we get James Hardin? Never mind. His ass was out of there. Yeah, he was gone. Literally, they were moving here.
Starting point is 00:31:12 This is, nigga, we trade you after this. Yeah. Them stats? We're trade. That's, yeah. Come on, bro. He's on lock, bro. That's a big difference, smoke.
Starting point is 00:31:23 A huge difference. But didn't he play with James and, uh, Brooklyn? Was he in there in Brooklyn? I think he might have been going. He got a slacks and his part of trade. Shout to Jared Allen, though, man. I'm glad you in your bag now because Cleveland is a problem. They still, I told you, I got them coming out to east.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Yeah. You haunt it. You haunt a cab. I ain't mad at that. They got, I still got Detroit or the Knicks for some reason. I don't know why, though. Yeah. I like Detroit.
Starting point is 00:31:50 I know my nix is just for Jay Mills, just for our little narrative. But I think if that matchup really happened, bro, I got the cabs. bro. Oh, yeah, I don't want the Knicks to win. Like, just because of Jay Mill. Right. Just literally. Like, that's what I, I like, if somebody loves a team so much and they talk about them, I'm going against them.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Like, the page of the rest of these kids, guys, y'all. We really don't even care how y'all feel.

Starting point is 00:34:35 Yeah. World's a different place, bro. All right. Kelly Wilson needs more respect. He's the best NBA prospect. Chris Boscage's skill set with Tim D.D. mindset.

Starting point is 00:35:04 Shout out to college basketball, though. Still got him winning a night. Yeah. Cate is great, but I think the pissons are more defensively driven than you guys are giving them credit for. I don't think he's quite at Lucas level. He's a delver defensive team.
Starting point is 00:35:16 I think that's what makes him good because he had part of that defensive rotations. Mm-hmm. Yeah, now we all know. He kind of just gave it away. Yeah, we all know Luca on the other side of the basketball. Liability. Yeah, so to be able to still get you 26 points a game
Starting point is 00:35:30 and still be a part of a really good defense. That says a lot of him, you know. And it says more about Kay because obviously they're a defensive-driven team.

I think he's a top five pick for sure. Charlottes Cooper Flagman living up to... I think he's having a good rookie year, a phenomenal rookie year, actually. But it's like comes with a lot of opportunity.
Starting point is 00:51:02 The reason I think Cunple Year is better is because he was some gunners. And he's not supposed to be doing what he's doing. With Brandon Miller, LaMello, Mild. You're right, bro. He's not supposed to be doing that. That's true. Efficient. He damn, they're 50, 40, 90.
Starting point is 00:51:19 As a rookie is insane, bro. Yeah. And only averageing with. with a point less than Cooper. Like, you're not wrong. They're playing for something. Shit.
Starting point is 00:51:28 They're trying to make the playoffs. Okay, Cooper and them's not even thinking about that shit. No. Yeah. But Horn is damn near. They play in the playing right now. And they're trying to sneak into the A-C.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Yeah, I ain't mad at that. That's hard to average 20 on a team with three bona fide scores for real. Yeah. And we talk about the game that Cooper Flage has had against the Horners same game. He had his career high as well. 34. he had a 3 is a franchise record. Like you said, bro, his percentage
Starting point is 00:51:56 and his splits is insane, bro. He's a fishing basketball. As a rookie, bro, it's just not. He's very efficient. It's not normal to be 50, 40, 90 down there. Like, it's impossible to do that for some superstars. Yeah. To be that efficient on that team, like you said,
Starting point is 00:52:13 both franchis got hell of turmoil, too. You got to be efficient on this thing. And it's your first year, though. So it only ain't that many shots out there. Brandon Miller's going to shoot the ball. And you know, Lemo. Lello's going to shoot the ball. Bridges is shooting the ball, though.
Starting point is 00:52:26 That's the lead basketball, bro. They know he good, too. They're throwing it up to him. Oh, don't mean. Thank you to mind, man. I just, this is, I feel like how I feel about when Mello was a rookie, though. That's how I feel about Connoble. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:47 He said, what? Cooper going to get it, though. When Mello was a rookie, he got robbed because he had shit. a better year than LeBron. Oh, Mello. Yeah. Yeah, Mello, Sitter 1 in one, Rookie. Yeah, Mellow, Mello got robbed, but respect.
Starting point is 00:53:02 It's a playoffs, bro. We will see, man, shots up off of those rookies doing their thing, good class as well this year. MIP, our guy, didn't he obvious? He going to get it, man, average of 25 to 70s. Yeah, he got to. Yeah, so. He's the most improved player.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Delon Johnson? Yeah. Because Jalen Johnson would have been an author last year, dude, and Adrian. Yeah. Hey, Matt, 24, 10, and 8. We called that one for sure. Keonté George up there too, though.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Come on, man. Plus 800 field bedding, man. My boy averaging 24, 6, and 4. Messed up the tank, man. Keep killing Keontan. Kiel and a bad pick either, though. Yeah. Starting off the season, a little rough.
Starting point is 00:53:35 My boy averages 20 so far. Yeah, more than that year. Okay. I'm going to go with Danny Avi or George out of Utah. Okay. Got some sleepers in here as well. Anthony Black. You've been playing really, really well after a couple months in the season started.
Starting point is 00:53:50 It's probably a contract year for. him too, right? Yeah, Sersky. That much and stuff. Yeah. Bread. Time to get that chicken. Ryan Rollins as well.
Starting point is 00:53:57 Emerges this year's average of 17, 6, and 5. I know it's looking wicked up there in Milwaukee, but he'd been doing this thing. He's cold. Okay. Six men of the year so far. Nise Reed plus 190. Keldon Johnson. I ain't mad at this at all.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Plus 30. Excuse me, 330. Hamie Hockey Harker Jr., excuse me, your guy, plus 550. And Reevee. And Reed? I think it's going to probably be Nise Reed. Looking like, like, I like Kelton Johnson, though. I like what Kelton Johnson gave him to that spurs team off the bench.
Starting point is 00:54:24 I like Hami. Okay. You like Hami? I think Keldon will win because he's having a phenomenal job off the bench and never winning. But Hami, our kids, man, he's playing well. He's playing good basketball, bro. And his men is be spotty as hell. Yeah, bro, like 15 off the bench.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Yeah. Shooting 50%. I ain't mad at it. Rie Shurber definitely had to develop. I don't know about rookie year so far. But Nas Reeve been holding down all year long as well. I'm not mad at Nause either. I mean.
Starting point is 00:54:48 His 15 be needed, too. Yeah, but I like Hami. just a little bit. Not, yeah. I'm at all. All right, coach of the year so far,
Starting point is 00:54:56 J.B. Biggerstab, Jordan Ott, coach Joe Missoula and Mitch Johnson. I think J.B. got to get it, man. J.B.
Starting point is 00:55:03 going to get it, but my- I'm going with Mitch. He got that young core. They develop faster than more people was thinking. Like, obviously,
Starting point is 00:55:14 Wimby's a superstar. De Aaron Fox is really good, but he made that gel better than I thought pretty quick. But he's. He deserved more than anybody to me. Especially where he embraced the younger players in that team, like I said.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Figured it all out. They look very cohesive. I mean, J.B. Bricerstadt last year, we was talking about him making them take the hoot me in. Now, look, they're number one in the east right now. Jordan Otto with a hell of a turn-around job. Nobody's going to be this decent this year. That's my guy, too.
Starting point is 00:55:41 We got Dillon Brooks out of his body over there. Come on. Real year. Joe Missoula, also, like you said, the Celtics, we didn't expect him to be shit this year. Losing all them players and still being top two in the east. Yeah. That's why a little of a job too. All those coaches are worthy of the war.
Starting point is 00:55:55 I ain't going to know. Yeah. I ain't mad at it. All right, NBA champs. Let's go here. OKC plus 130. The Nuggets plus 500. Caves plus 1,100, nix plus 1,300,
Starting point is 00:56:05 spurs plus 1,500, Cells 6 plus 1,500, and Pissons plus 1,500. So what I'll see from here is basically the Western Conference is going to be winning championship again because they have no faith in any of the teams out of the East. Do y'all put the same way? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Yeah. Yeah. East is cooked The East is cooked Cavs can't match up with OKC No They can But
Starting point is 00:56:28 They can't Yeah Cubs can match up with OKC bro Okay Like the Cavs being A good team They can do that
Starting point is 00:56:39 They're definitely a really good team But to jail that fast Going against an OKC team Who just won a championship Who are all The same page Like a motherfucker It's gonna be tough
Starting point is 00:56:48 To beat them What if Jay's what have JT come back for the South? Nah, it ain't enough. He ain't got enough time. Like, you got to incorporate J.T. Yeah. Because I've been playing a certain way now.
Starting point is 00:57:00 Y'all been playing through Jalen Brown, Jalen Brown, Derek White. That's your guy. That's right. Yeah. J.T. come back. Obviously, he's going to be coming off the bench. They got to incorporate him. He's going to be playing probably 20 minutes, 15 to 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:57:13 That's not really going to do nothing. Eventually, he's going to ramp it up to about 25, 28 minutes. Then y'all are going to have to start him. Y'all going to go on the losing. or y'all gonna get in a playoff game and y'all lose you're gonna revamp the lineup starting and y'all ain't gonna be jellin like that to me i honestly feel like j t should just sit out the rest of the year and i love j t i know that's like my brother that's i fuck with him but like i just think he need like a fresh start like in the middle of the year that's tough bro everybody already playing full
Starting point is 00:57:44 stride what if the nuggets come out the west do y'all see anybody in the east having a chance Let's just say JT sit out, so we'll delete the Celtics. Can the Cavs or Knicks or Knicks compete with the Nuggets? I think the best team that would give them a chance probably would be the Pistons just because of how they play defense, but I don't see nobody doing nothing with the Joker, bro. Unfortunately, he just had mismatched. I don't think if I guess.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Even as good as Cat is, bro. Cat can't go or a Joker, bro. That's the worst thing to have them to the east is the Nuggets come out to the West. Yeah. Like, everybody could compete against OKC. I'm keeping a real. the Pacers last year. Tyrese don't get hurt.
Starting point is 00:58:23 We could be talking about the Pacers as a champs, honest fact. Yeah, that's rich. That's what I'm saying. Like, anybody can compete with OKC, and this is no disrespect to Oklahoma City, but, like, they match up better because they don't have a crazy post present. Right.
Starting point is 00:58:36 It's gar heavy in the east. And the OKC got phenomenal guards, but they can match up a little better. That big, like, Yolkich, when he come over here, there's no bigs in the east. Besides M.B., and M.B., we know. talking about Philly right now.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Yeah. But there's nobody that can match up with yoga. Out of these groups, like he's going to murder cat. Yeah, it's Chris. Going to murder, Jared Allen. Yeah, even for the Celtics. He's going to murderers. You think Vuce is about to do something?
Starting point is 00:59:04 Oh, who's no. Murder. Blamey. Yeah. It's curse. Ain't over defense at all. It's ugly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:12 If I'm the east, I would want to see O KC, but. Yeah. I am at it. We will see men second half for the season. Best performances. So far the season, your guy be here AE 55 against the Spurs
Starting point is 00:59:23 Go ahead and load it up Lou You know That's Steve back That's the defense And he's the defense And he's Edwards Yeah
Starting point is 00:59:35 Textbook To run Anthony Edwards Sit down And switch everything Pull it down And shit up man He's so explosive

Starting point is 01:03:12 he taking the shit. I'm just talking about what he said to the media. He said he mistakenly took the arts. You know what I mean? What did he take? I don't know, bro. It was by mistake. He probably thought he was tolerated.

Starting point is 01:04:57 It was at the dunk contest. Damn. Hey, shout out to PJ. You just didn't know. Legendary 520 episode. All right, man, some crazy things that took place so far in the NBA transaction-wise. Trey Young going to the Wizards. We didn't know what was going to have for Trey Young.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Obviously, we knew it was payday time, but we did not expect him to go to the Washington Wizards. Damn. Yeah. James Hardin also going to Cleveland. We didn't see this happening. What's crazy? That, James. Because he started off killing this year, even though the Clippers was bad.
Starting point is 01:05:24 We didn't expect him to be a Cleveland. Cleveland Cavalier at all. The narrative with Tray Lee was out at the beginning of the season. I didn't expect them to be on the fucking Wizards. Yeah, the Wizards was a crazy goal. They're making some moves over there. They are. Let the Wizards work.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Yeah, they are. 80s to the Wizards. That was surprising as well. You can see that either. I ain't see the Wizards. Yeah, they're out there cooking for sure. Now, you've seen the reports moot? They said, I didn't really consult with my boy on that.
Starting point is 01:05:47 I ain't like, I ain't know what's contract time. I'm trying to play for a chip or something. True, but you're going to be on the Wizards, bro. It's chill. You got to get healthy, cuss. Rest up. You can't say that every year. You're complaining already?
Starting point is 01:05:58 No, he's saying. He's making demands, bro. Somebody say, dude. Yeah, maybe. Chill out, bro. Nah, I feel like, bro. Y'all send me to the Wizards, bro. You know what I'm on.
Starting point is 01:06:08 I don't went through this already, bro. In the world. I already won a championship, bro. You got to show us you can stay healthy. Yeah. You're all right. All right. Triple J into the jazz.
Starting point is 01:06:16 We did not expect that at all. We thought the first person gone from Memphis to see the would-be job. We did not expect this at all. That's crazy, true. I loved it, though. You're rolling with it? Yeah, I definitely love that for the jazz.
Starting point is 01:06:27 Boots to the Celtics. I'm just happy my boy was free. Yeah, he had to get the fuck on. He was starting to get a little reckless. Yeah. The post game, they was happy they're celebrating. He like, get away from me. He's getting tired of them niggis.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Let out. Be here and the trade to bunch you back to Pacer Nation, man. Yep. Big Zoo back in the city. My boy back, man. I like that for y'all, man. Hopefully I can get a decent draft pick. I'll be able to see how my Pacers fan, because.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Yeah, I'm very intrigued to see how that works as well. but I got hope, man. We're going back to the playoffs next year. Because y'all don't play like Zuba. We don't. Y'all spread the floors. That's a fact. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:05 I'm interested in here. I got the interior presence though now, man. A real force. We're not to adjust some things, bro. Because you've got to get some touches. Sorry, bro. Welcome to the city. Welcome to the city.
Starting point is 01:07:14 He deserved it for sure. 15 and 12 loading. Kobe White to the awards is funny. He's first seen all five, 20 shot Kobe White. I know he's shitty now. If anybody complaining, I said this one I don't really understand. Trade me for Colin Sexton, bro, is, bro, I don't want to be here, bro.
Starting point is 01:07:31 He's hot. I want to lead the Bulls and not go to my mind. He's damn near like a fifth option in horse, bro. Real shit. And he probably tight because, I mean, I think it's close to getting that Patty, like you said, but he could have been a temperable over there. I'm going to keep some cap space just in case we get yonis, and that was not the case.
Starting point is 01:07:46 And y'all not getting yonis. They might, and y'all don't listen, man. Y'all might, something might happen in the summer. Yeah, that's cool. But then let me stay where I'm at right now. I didn't have to be a part of this trade. Yeah, we'll see though. All right.
Starting point is 01:07:57 What else we got here? Yeah, no yonest trade is crazy. That means we're going to have a hell of a summer. Yeah, John be gone. He ain't going to be a motherfuckin' greezy this summer. So a lot of people don't really want, John. Oh, well, yeah, that's what they say. That's the bullshit narrative, bro.

Starting point is 01:11:06 The enthusiasm in the game show last 15 years the best. I know it switched on from T&T. I know being public and cable TV is a little bit different. But hey, it's trending right, man. If they keep playing like this, man, we might get the old vibes back for sure.

Starting point is 01:11:48 That's it. Yeah, they gave that a lot of love. That was like pro-scouts and saying, like, that's what you want, next level of PG. Go ahead. Mercy Miller, got some minutes yesterday. Made the most of it.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Mercy. I don't know why he not even kempic central rotation, but we can do this shit. I think he should have transferred. Hey, damn. He always had bounce. That's crazy. Damn, that's crazy.
Starting point is 01:12:19 It was cold in high school, wasn't he? Hell yeah. He was a bucket. I think he still had transferred. This is a lot of kitchen program, but he's seed a vision. I will say, man, progests to the team you not want to see in this tournament at all. Moving on.

Starting point is 01:13:03 So. Hey, bro. swing that next time. Low light. Why is he so open? I feel I'm sure. What was that handling the ball? Hmm.
Starting point is 01:13:19 Finlay sure with the left. That's Todd Hansborough right there, because to the teeth. Everybody here's feet. Good feet. That looks just like Hansborough. That's crazy. Sacramento State is joining the Mac Conference.
Starting point is 01:13:33 That's what I'm talking about. And the stipulations for this. is absolutely crazy. Place it up, bro. Yeah, please, move there, bro. Travel crazy. Oregon is playing out of you.
Starting point is 01:13:44 They're paying $18 million to join the conference. $5 million to the NCAA to join the FBS. That's made $2 to $4 million or air travel for hosting other opponents there. They got to pay for people to pull up and play them and pay to join the league. Invest in what you believe in. Just stay where y'all at,
Starting point is 01:13:59 invest in what you believe in, bro. That's a lot of more. We keep talking about all these programs going broke. I mean, this is how. No, no, it's not. No, it's not. This is Bibby School, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:10 All this is for football. Yeah. But, yeah, that's a lot, bro. That's the dark part. Cool, bro. What fucking league are they leaving? The Mac is, ain't them? Yeah, whoever that is, that's a goddamn A.U program.
Starting point is 01:14:32 We got it over there to the Mac. Ain't that ball state? Yes. Yeah. Conference, but. Hell yeah. We don't get no league money for five years. It's great.
Starting point is 01:14:39 invest, bro. We don't get it by the ears. No, we're not. About to get some better recruits? Anybody must be donating to that school. Somebody tapped in. Somebody cares. Sacramento, is this, this is where Mike Bibby is coaching the?
Starting point is 01:14:53 Yeah, but this is, I believe, football and stuff. Oh, okay. No, shout out to them, man. Shout to Sacramento State, man. Make the most of it. That is crazy with these stipulations. We already talking about these schools who went broke, but that's how it goes. All right, man, a little NFL news.
Starting point is 01:15:04 The Dolphins released Ty, Rick Hill. A lot of people are surprised by this. He has a lot to recover from him. for a major injury last year. They trying to save some chicken. Yeah, they released... Go back to the Chub as well. Yeah, I think you're going back to the Chiefs?
Starting point is 01:15:18 Please go back to the Chiefs. That's hard if he do. Yeah. Ryan Clark was talking about this, and he was basically saying, like, the next move for him would define his legacy that we've seen a lot of first or second ballot Hall of Famers
Starting point is 01:15:29 that did not get that call, like T.O. Things that nature, because the moves they made later in their decisions, the career, excuse me, to recal. It's nice, but go ahead and play it, man. The Dolphins released Tyree Hill today. New general manager, John Eric Sullivan, and new head coach Jeff Hathley, wanted a clean slate.
Starting point is 01:15:48 They wanted to move on without a voice in the locker room that wasn't going to echo what they thought should be echoed. That wasn't going to be the sort of leader that they wanted around the new culture they were trying to build. But think about that. This is a dude that's an eight-time pro bowler, five-time all-pro, one of the greatest and best wide receivers of his generation. And even though he's coming off of injury, you make a decision that that's not who we want to start with. And what that tells me is this. It matters more about who you are at some points than what you can do. Let's think about Antonio Brown.
Starting point is 01:16:31 Antonio Brown, in my opinion, is a first ballot Hall of Fame. when we say Larry Fitzgerald, when we say Hulian Jones, when we say Calvin Johnson, we should also mention Antonio Brown. But some of the things about who he was away from the field, and in his last game, who he was on the field, that we talk about more. Look at Terrell Owens. Should have been a first ballot Hall of Famer.
Starting point is 01:16:54 And what the whole did him was wrong. But we also know the reasons they pointed to as to why he wasn't a first ballot Hall of Famer, which was bull crap, but we don't always hold the pin. and the decisions in our hand. Yeah, what I did for the game. I agree.
Starting point is 01:17:09 That's about, bro. That's bullshit. Yeah, it's a little bit of message in there as well. If Tyree Hill got my fucking Hall of Fame numbers, he's a Hall of Famer. Right. Yeah. Won't give a fucking feet on powder, too? Not real shit.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Yeah, bro. What I'm doing on the field, like, if I'm killing, a nigga, I'm killing. Yeah. I'm going to be over there rolling, bro. Yeah, it's never bad when it's like. My fault, y'all. That thing was starting.
Starting point is 01:17:37 That thing. Didn't get the old one. They got to get me a dude. They got to get me a dude. I never seen a family guy when it was like, Sprite. How did we come to black people drink?
Starting point is 01:17:51 Why do you got the little kid, though, Cah? I guess what's your bar? Oh, man. Cowan littered her head. It didn't look like these. That's crazy. Hey. What are my friends?
Starting point is 01:18:10 I was drinking a beer. They had a Bruce me on. Hey, man, Michael Eric and Charlie, man, this is his response, allegedly. Lock the room. All we're doing is sitting over here. Cahs got dreams. Just trying to chill. on the beach

You use my picture to talk about one of the greatest players to act up, act up, who tossed up of basketball to try and throw it towards a hoop and hopes of it going in. From a long way to sit back, I mean. Somebody tell him that ain't real, man. KD, sorry, Unk. He's sorry, man. I'm apologize for KD, man.
