Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing?

Good. Late start, man.
All types of accidents. Boys can't drive in Indianapolis.
Wild West, boy. Out here, motherfuckers getting sick. Freaky Mike getting people sick.
It's dangerous on our roads.
It's vicious out here, man.
We about to be freaking Mike for the roads, too.
It just starts. It starts at home.
It starts at home.
Even in your home, too.
Everybody on the East Coast right now, be safe.
It is wicked as hell outside.
Shout out to everybody in aviation.
All the people who are in planes, around planes, airports.
Special prayers to y'all.
It's wicked out there, too.
Shit's just crazy.
I love the place for sure, man.
Listen, we're going to have a little bit of fun today, man.
We're going to give out some mid-season awards.
But I want to ask y'all a couple questions about some recent things that took place.
SGA pretty much got rid of his representation for this summer because that Supermax is on the way.
Is that a smart move?
Yes.
Yes. Yes.
I'm all for not giving people money that don't deserve it.
Yeah, he's an advocate for sure.
Yeah, I mean, you're a Max player.
You can go in that office and say, I want the Supermax.
All you need is a lawyer to look over the contract,
pay him his 5 to 10K, and you're green.
Yeah, because he – You had to get that
Aging like 40 years
Or some shit like that
Yeah
Hell nah
He be getting probably
2%
Of whatever his
Supermax is
So
His agent be
I imagine that
Supermax probably now
Is probably about
3 with him
Yeah
The R-MBA
Yeah R-MBA
Joel Embiid
Represent himself too
Shout out to Joel
He finesse as well.
He ain't got no agent.
He's smart if you know what you're doing.
All you got to do is go read the CBA.
Get some people around you.
A lawyer.
And then tell everything like Gil said.
Everything you want in a contract,
go look at everybody else's max contract.
People that was in your situation.
And go ask for what you need. You want super max you want a player option whatever it is
boom that's crazy it's really kind of that simple and like you look at other situations like jay
daniel's got his mom representing other people stuff like that yeah why don't i keep all your
bread bro it's literally your bread it is and you are a max player. The contract says what you're supposed to get. I'm a super max player. I'm MVP. I deserve this. I do not need an agent to lie to me and tell me I can get you an extra five. No, you can't.
What is the benefits of having an agent, though?
In his case?
Just anybody. Just an athlete in general.
It ain't no benefits in a person like him. It ain't no benefit having no agent.
I'm a super max player.
Okay, but what about like a mid-tier player, though?
I need you to work and negotiate a contract for me.
You're going to have to do all the ins and outs to compare other players that do what I do.
So if I'm a guy that averaged 11 points,
and the last five guys that averaged 11 points got four years 32.
Let's say that.
As an agent, you got to go find me four years 32
because that's what the average people are getting for what I do.
But a great agent can go get you more.
They can show your value to somebody else in a different way.
Like, yeah, but, and they go to the stats.
He shot 40 from the three.
This kid shot 35.
He was this on defense. He was this on defense.
He was that on defense.
And he can negotiate for you.
Gotcha.
And then try to get you a little more money.
And then they might have more clients.
If they a super fire agent, they might have more clients that they can leverage for you.
Like, all right, if you get my guy four years 44, I know Joel Embiid on the max deal.
He might take two million less for you if you can, you know, you can start that.
That's some shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I agree with that.
Somebody like Ines, yeah, he a rare occasion because, you know, everybody knows his swag.
Off the court, it's easy to sell.
He's fashionable.
That's the easy sell in that situation.
The play is already there, too.
He still letting them do his shit off the court.
Yeah, he got to. Yeah, for sure. He got to get marketed as well. He's still letting them do their shit off the court. Yeah, for sure.
He got to get marketed as well.
He got the agency for off the court.
I'm just saying on the court.
He don't need it.
The numbers tell you who you are.
You are a Supermax player.
You're going to get the maximum amount of money you can get for your years in the league.
I don't need no agent to tell me that.
For sure.
Keep it all in-house for sure.
Shout out to gill's arena
they had rich paul on i want to see how y'all felt about rich paul saying that nobody knew about that
trade happening we know we was on the fence believing if people knew if it was cat he came
out said nah we didn't know about the david situation that's surprising y'all still i believe
who the fuck think they're gonna try lucas
like yeah he probably still in disbelief like i can't believe they did that that is crazy bro
i either way though it's still bullshit at the end of the day especially for the reasons we
know why it really went down there wasn't no genuine trade so nah it's believable that's
crazy even though it's probably one brown ain't mad though I was gonna say Bron is not mad
Had that 77 t-shirt ready
So she
Listen Bron is resting
She agreed
He rested tonight and tomorrow
He said
I got a chance
To do something this year
I don't know what it's gonna be
But he's like
I'm trying to see
What this look like
Oh by the way
Bronny DMP'd the rest of the week
So
We won't be seeing him
This week playing
He's
He's sitting there
It's just FY For the game Respect of the week. We won't be seeing him this week playing. He's sitting there.
It's just FYI for the game.
Respect.
I wouldn't ask you how. I told you he's really on the team.
He's really on the team. He's not a G
leaguer.
Shout out to y'all.
Y'all went crazy for that.
I forgot we talked
about that.
We put out a short of that conversation.
I forgot how funny that shit was.
Bronny's really the GOAT, bro.
I got a couple of Brian Jones off the strip, man.
I got to go tap out what they say.
Basically, people reacted, man.
Like, y'all niggas is crazy, bro.
What are you talking about?
People are like, wait, bro.
Release it off the game.
And I'll get bullshit.
What I had said, bro, you your daddy of the G League.
He is though Respect man
Shout out to
Bronny man
The GOAT for sure
Alright man
Listen we
A little bit past halfway
Wanna go through
Some candidates
With some awards
And see how y'all feel
Mid season
Who should get these
You know respects
For sure
Let's start off with MVP
First candidate
We got SGA
32 and 5
5 and 6 Tied for the best record in the league with 44-10.
He hooping it out.
Yoke, 29-8.
I mean, excuse me, 30 basically.
12-10, triple-dub, but almost 30.
It's crazy as well.
Giannis been hooping all year, 31-12-5.
And then JT, 27-8-6.
Who y'all got, man?
It's Shea.
By the numbers, I would take Jokic,
but from watching the games, I'm going to take SGA.
If you just looked at this right here,
you'd be like, who's the best player?
You're going to say Jokic.
He averaging 30, 12, and 10.
Most definitely.
But you asked who the most valuable?
SGA.
Just because that team is young and what they're doing.
Tied for the best record in the league.
It's crazy.
And they got all these young guys.
Only one on a big contract is him.
Lou Dort got some money, but.
You know what I mean?
SGA the guy.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's evident, too.
And I would say Jokic got better players around him.
That's a fact.
He got Hall of Famers.
He don't have a number two like Jokic.
Mm-mm.
I mean, Jalen Williams is a really good basketball player.
Yeah, all-star.
Jamal Murray is.
Yeah, all-star.
But he not solidified in no playoff run.
Yeah.
Jamal Murray a champion.
He just got his 50th other day Aaron Gordon been a champion
Michael Porter Jr. champion
It's just a little different
So to see what he doing with that squad
It's the SGA
And JT having a hell of a year
It just ain't
It's the
It's most valuable player
Like if JT wanted to sell a couple games, the Celtics still cool.
They still rolling.
Yeah, so it's different.
If SGA, DNP, three games in a row.
SGA, damn near John Morant.
Yeah, SGA sit out three, they damn near missing.
They going two and one.
No, one and two.
I'm glad that you brought that up.
You foreshadowed this.
Quote, unquote, talks about Memphis and John Morant.
I told you that.
The new play.
Trade you for you get your Supermax or you get re-up again.
I told you.
You're going to take this re-up right now or we're going to trade you.
And you know who they're going to trade for?
They're going to trade for Trae Young
Oh lord
If you send John Moran
To the Atlanta Hawks
It's up
Oh my god
We got to put love
I pray for that man
You send John Moran to the Atlanta Hawks
It's up
He fit Atlanta more
Yeah he do
That's why I said that
He'll bring the culture back
Not saying Trae
You know what I mean
Trae did his thing
But it's different.
It's different.
Maybe it's going to feel like they got Anthony Davis.
He gets more out of mediocre players.
I ain't going to say mediocre.
But he gets more out of his teammates than Trey Young.
Yeah, bro.
That's a very interesting conversation.
Jalen Williams or what's my Jalen Johnson is going to hoop regardless.
When fucking John Moran is missing
Fucking
Triple J
Bro he goes under the radar bro
They go under the radar
That team
Stinks bro
Yeah
For real
Atlanta sucked when
Trey Young was out last year
Jalen Johnson still
Going to get 30
Last year Triple J
Triple J is an all star bro He was 30. Last year, Triple J.
Triple J's an all-star. He was hurt last year, too, though.
Triple J.
Their whole team was hurt last year.
Yeah, last year.
They was a wash.
Yeah.
But Ja means everything to that team.
He means more to the Grizzlies than Trey Young.
Hold on.
Why this kept Ja?
I missed out a bunch of games this year.
He did.
Go look at how many games Ja.
I think that's what's Kind of profiting them
To think
Scottie Pippen Jr.
Been hooping
He has
He been doing
He been doing his thing
I'm just saying
Even if he had
I just think
Let's see how many games
John Morant played this year
He's more meaningful
To the Memphis Grizzlies
Than Trae Young is
To Atlanta Hawks
No
No
I think John Morant
Be more to the city
Of Memphis
Compared to Trae Young
I mean Atlanta is a way
more lit city
I don't disagree
I don't disagree
on both sides of the radar
so he battled with a lot
yeah he battled with a lot
I wish y'all could see
Freaky Mike he looks so sad today
how many games y'all put
you might pop the wrong bean man that game the Fenty Pack I wish I could see Freaky Mike. He looks so sad today. How many games did y'all play?
It's discouraged.
Freaky Mike popped the wrong bean, man.
I gave him a Fenty pack.
Whatever, they're going through it.
He played 19 games?
So he missed, what, 14 games?
That's cool.
Yeah.
I think that.
Missing 14 games?
It's not bad, bro. Pressed up game.
Nah, go look.
I mean, he missed 14 games.
He played 14. If he missed 14, I mean, missed 32 and missed 14, they're not.
I mean, he missed 14.
What's their record in the West?
They're what?
Two or three?
Come on, man.
Two or three.
Your best player missed 14 games?
I mean, if you think Trae Young.
If you think Trae Young means more to ATL than Ja,
then that's your prerogative, brother.
I'm not saying he means more.
That's all I was saying.
I'm just saying he's just as valuable to the Atlanta Hawks
as Ja Morant is to the Grizzlies.
Trae Young is cold, but I know right now if the Memphis Grizzlies
get Trae Young for Ja Morant, they're going to be pissed. They're going to be people who are upset.lies. Trae Young is cold, but I know right now if the Memphis Grizzlies get Trae Young for John Moran, they are going to be pissed.
They are going to be people who are upset.
Not that Trae Young is sad.
Obviously, we know he's cold.
But they are going to be pissed.
Let's go look at the stats.
The stats will tell you.
All John Moran stats?
Yeah.
Trae Young stats are better.
It's just a culture thing.
I don't know.
24-7?
Yeah. Trae Young stats are better. 22-12 and 3-5, maybe? I don't know 24 and 7 Yeah Yeah
Trey O's stats are better than that
22, 12 and 3, 5
Maybe
Yeah Trey O's stats are better than that
It doesn't
Who's more important to their team
Yeah 24
12
Oh yeah that's a landslide
I knew that
I don't know
It's a culture thing though
Like
The way Ja carry himself
Remind people of Memphis
Like
He
When you look in a crowd
You look in a city
You can see Ja Morant
When you walk down the street
That's why they can relate to him
That same thing in Atlanta
Like when they told me
I used to have haircuts
Like the kids and shit
When I was in Atlanta
I had a mohawk
Like Roscoe Dash
But that's what the kids
Had in the crowd
So I was relatable
That's what they see in Memphis the crowd, so I was relatable.
That's what they see in Memphis.
That's why if Jai go to Atlanta.
Shout out to Roscoe.
Fuck y'all.
If Jai go to Atlanta, there go Mike.
He laughing today.
He laughing at that bullshit.
That nigga said I had haircuts like the kids.
Boy, you grown, boy.
I mean, shit, I was 20.
I'm just saying, when you look in the crowd, niggas couldn't relate to,
I ain't going to say Joe and them, but these niggas was old.
That's true.
Niggas was over headbands by the time Josh was still rocking them.
I was going to say, but shout out to the Hawks,
but who in the crowd got here like Trae Young?
That's what I'm saying.
They can relate to the way he play but if Ja Morant
went to Atlanta
they'd probably relate
a little more
cause he
got the dreads
he got goals
and shit
he look like
a Atlanta
shit
he in Memphis
it still feel like
Zach and T
yeah
I mean T there
if he goes to Atlanta
he's gonna
bro right
with him right there
this is gonna be crazy
he gonna blend right in
yeah
and they'll put the Hawks Trae Young is more of a he's going to bring the energy with him right there. This is going to be crazy. He's going to blend right in.
Trae Young is more of a L.A.
He could be a spur, but he's more of a L.A.
Lime light.
New York.
Definitely New York nigga. Way more
New York than John Moran.
100%. Yeah.
You could put...
John damn near Charlotte.
Atlanta, bro.
He a South.
Jada South.
I like that.
I like that take too.
You're right.
Jada more of a South.
I feel like Trae Young is more marketable.
Nah, I ain't going to say that.
Yeah, it was the clean way.
Nah.
The clean way, bro. They try to get Jada out of here, bro, with the pistol say that. Yeah, it was the clean way. Nah. The clean way, bro.
They try to get job out of here, bro, with the pistol and shit.
Come on now.
We're not going to act crazy.
I'm saying job more.
I'm trying to get job out of here.
Nah, man.
Job had a lighter.
Job more relatable to the culture.
To the kids.
To the culture.
Did you see when my nigga bounced back in the strip club?
That was his first.
I'm just saying.
Elite, bro.
Job is very marketable.
He's polarizing.
No, I'm a fan.
I'm just telling y'all
for these corporations, bro.
They still want John Morant.
Teague is John Morant.
You, Trey Young.
All right, I'll take that.
That nigga told me
on the foot...
We just did a footlocker.
You know what I mean?

You said he moved a different kind of pill.
That's what you said.
I was talking about the Rose Sparks.
Come on, DJ, man.
This thing can play too much. He's a promo code Cliff.
Coach, are you here so far?
That was a hell of a Provo though
You gotta keep it big
Mike's not here today

The Freaky Mike man

Papa Molly, I'm sweating.
Woo.
You need to.
That boy be here like limitless.
You'll never see a setup so good.
For sure.
Coach of the year, Kenny Atkinson going crazy.
Top of the best record league with 44-10.
And Matt Udoka, fourth in the West at 34-21.
Taylor Jenkins got second in the West.
That's somebody we need to talk about more, man.
Quiet year for him.
JB Bickerstaff, what he did with that Detroit team is phenomenal.
29-26.
Mark, I can't say his last name, but OKC's head coach, he is 44-10.
Mark D.
Shout out to him.
Ty Lue again At six in the west
I don't know if Ty Lue
Getting this but
Who's some of y'all
Candidates y'all think
Should get it so far
Kenny X
That's it for me
If they gave it to
Yudoka
I'd fuck with that too though
I ain't mad
Damn
No love for OKC
Yeah but
They had a great year last year
Yeah
We kind of expected them
To be really good this year
I feel like that's what
Should get them more love That's why I feel like Even with the SGA shit Like you know sometimes The people be having good years. We kind of expected him to be really good this year. I feel like that's what should get him more love.
That's why I feel like
even with the SGA
shit, like, you know,
sometimes the people
be having good years
and they kind of
write it off as a
fluke.
Just the second year
running back like this
to show that he
should be the MVP.
Hey, man, I ain't mad
at Kenny actually
turning around, but
shit, your second year
you tied for first
in the league, he
should get a little
bit more love.
I mean, he getting
love, but damn,
turning Cleveland
around to the best
team in the league.
We didn't expect
that.
Touche. Touche.
Touche. And I'm going to give Taylor
Jenkins, I played for Taylor Jenkins too, I'm going to give him
some love. What was your shot to Taylor Jenkins, man?
He was in Atlanta. Our Atlanta
staff is unbelievable. Damn.
It was Bud, Kenny Atkinson, Taylor Jenkins,
Quinn
Snyder. Damn.
And what's my boy there coaching? Charlotte.
Damn. Charles Lee? Charles. Yeah. And what's my boy there coaching? Charlotte. Damn.
Charles Lee?
Charles, yeah.
Ah, damn.
Shout out to Bud, man.
Lenny's just crazy.
All right, from the Super Chat, call me, wrote,
if OKC play Gose in the first round and lost,
will we be surprised if they lost?
Yes.
If Golden State beats OKC, that is a major upset.
Yeah, I would be surprised.
I mean, they got Hall of Fame players over there, so I wouldn't be surprised.
Yeah, I wouldn't be.
Jimmy, Draymond, and Steph.
Yeah, I ain't mad.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Shit, they supposed to beat them, actually.
Nah, for real.
We being real.
Shit.
Yeah, honestly, I wouldn't want to see that shit.
They supposed to beat them, actually.
They actually the better team.
I agree, bro.
If you go player for player.
Way more seasoned than y'all.
For sure.
OKC don't got a Jimmy Butler.
Hell nah.
OKC ain't got a Steph.
I mean, SGA.
They don't got a Draymond either, though.
I'd probably take Chet over Draymond.
Yeah, but I'm saying, though, Chet ain't been in that mix before.
It's kind of a different mental.
Chet is, of course.
I'm taking Chet over Draymond. Buddy Hill better than Isaiah Joe.
I mean, supposed to be.
That's a nasty versus.
I mean, they're both shooters.
That's why I said it.
Respect.
They're both non-gun shooters.
That is a nasty versus.
Yeah.
But I'm rolling with my young guns regardless.
I like OKC as a team better.
But if you just want player for player, resume for resume.
Yeah, Jimmy make a huge difference too.
Most definitely.
For sure.
Shout out to Super.
Call me Ro.
Another question from the Super Chat.
Buzzkid96, what will y'all think about the best game in dunkers
versus rim protectors for the dunk contest?
Like what A said about punching on Rudy.
What?
Basically, like I said, if a dunk contest is having all the bigs protect the rim and have somebody run and dunk at them.
Man, get that goofy ass shit off.
You get that backyard ass question out of here.
We did play NBA jams.
Man, come on, man.
NBA insurance policies will go through.
How old are you, man?
Buzz, 96.
He's trying to get niggas hurt.
Yeah, bro.
Pause, bro.
Trying to see niggas body to body.
Hey, yo.
The whole dunk contest is on.
I'm about to get on your ass, bud.
Pull this picture up, man.
Yeah, y'all start sending y'all profile pictures to Mike, man.
Mike's editing it for y'all. You better have a whole bunch To Mike Mike He'll edit it for y'all
He better have a whole bunch
Of niggas sending Mike
That picture
That's crazy
Buzz kid
He must be from Charlotte
He probably from Charlotte
Bliss
That is
Insane
We got one more question
Okay
Shout out to Buzz kid though
Good question man
We don't want to see that shit
okay for sure
moving on
six men of the year so far
a couple candidates here
got Peyton Pritchard
averaging 14-3-3
D Hunt averaging 18-3-2 assist
Nas Reed with 14-5-2
and Malik Beasley with 16-2-2
I'm going with Malik Beasley because I, two and two. I'm going with Malik Beasley
because I think DeAndre Hunter and Rose are going to change.
I think he's
going to be a starter.
That's probably where I'm going to be out of there.
I'm going to go with Malik Beasley. He's having a hell of a
year off the bench, bro. He is.
He's playing great for the Pistons.
He gets a lot of starter minutes
too, but he's definitely playing. He plays a lot.
That has some interest as well. I'm not mad at DeHunt, man. I think DeHunt should probably get that. Yeah, I mean, he play a lot. That has some interest as well.
I'm not mad at DeHunt, man.
I think DeHunt should probably get that.
Yeah, but I think he's going to play too many games as a starter.
Peyton Pritchard got a chance?
Yeah.
He probably went more than anybody just because the Celtics are so good
and he actually comes off the bench every single game.
Yeah.
Some of these dudes start.
Yeah.
I think DeHunt is going to start.
Malik Beasley start half the
damn time for sure especially if you go about a minute or two i would love to see how that works
out but i ain't mad at paying picture um league beasley getting that for sure uh dpoy let's go
wimby 11 rebounds four blocks and 1.1 steals dyson ds averages three steals. Evan Mobley, blocking half a game, one steal, nine rebounds.
Triple J, six rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.2 steals.
Giannis, 12 rebounds, one and a third block, and almost a steal.
Yeah, I'm taking Triple J just because of the rebounding.
But Dyson Daniels averaging three steals is fucking crazy.
Yeah, that is absolutely insane.
But Wimby.
I'm going to take Wimby.
Wimby should win it.
I mean, four blocks and a steal for a center.
Yeah, I'm taking Wimby for mine.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Triple J, six rebounds is crazy.
Even though he's having a hell of a year, all-star year.
Six rebounds is crazy being him.
Hey.
I've been telling you all year, bro, if he was 10 to 12,
he would be a different type of player.
He would be respected a little more.
For sure.
But he a killer, though.
He a hooper.
Yeah, he's showing his ass this year for sure.
Rookie of the year, we got Stephon Castle.
That's mine.
Zach Eady.
Jalen Wells.
Yves Massey.
Yeah, I got Castle.
Castle Lightwork?
Yeah, he's one of my favorite players.
Yeah, I like him.
For sure.
A couple more to get through.
The most surprising team so far, the Cavs at 44-10,
the Pistons being decent again,
the Rockets being really good this year at 34-21, or the Clippers getting it done with 31-23?
Taking the Rockets for me.
Miles is the Rockets, too.
Miles is the Protestant team, for sure?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I've been hating, so I'm running with the Rockets.
Rockets, for sure.
My second home.
Yeah, I didn't think anybody expected the Rockets to be as good as they were this year.
The Cavs being 44-10 is still crazy, too, by the way.
Yeah.
For sure.
Oh, shout-out to the Troopers. For sure. Oh, South Central Supercats again.
Vicente Gutierrez says, Teague, how was it seeing Kyle Korver?
He checked 11 points in one minute.
I remember that game.
I think it was against Milwaukee.
If I'm right, it was crazy.
That boy could shoot that ball.
For sure.
And he also said, send KD to Atlanta.
Yeah, I don't think KD going to Atlanta.
Yeah, he just cried at a documentary.
He is not trying to go spend his last years in Atlanta playing for the Hawks.
Why he say it like that, though?
Respectfully.
We get KD, we different.
Most definitely.
Anybody get KD, you get up.
The job of renting KD and Jalen Johnson.
To Atlanta?
Boy, the Hawks will be on TV every single
game. I'll try to work for the Hawks again.
You gonna go back?
That's a wild team, bro.
KD would
never.
We're gonna say, man, we shall see what
KD would do.
Bless you.
Shout out to the Rockets.
Hell of a season so far. Most disappointed Chris. Bless you. Thank you. But yeah, shout out to the Rockets, man. Hell of a season so far.
Most disappointed team,
76ers.
76ers.
We don't even got to
go through none of them.
The Suns,
the Warriors,
and the Kings.
It's Sixers-Suns.
Yeah.
I'd probably say the Suns
more than the Sixers.
Just because of the talent.
Just because of the injuries
for the Sixers.
Yeah.
But the Suns,
nobody really been out. Right. And they had a the Sixers. Yeah. But the sons, nobody really.
They had a year to jail.
Yeah.
And followed up with this.
Cool.
Eric Gordon called him.
Now that you put it that way,
I didn't really towards the sons a little bit more to,
I was going to say the 76 was supposed to be the championship team.
And obviously they ain't shit,
but that is true.
The sons have been healthy all year. I mean,
I know Katie missed some shit, but that is true. The Suns have been healthy all year. I mean, I know KD missed some games, but yeah.
The Rockets is not supposed to be way better than the Suns.
That's crazy.
That's a fact.
The fact that we have like zero confidence that the Suns can win a playoff game,
like a playoff series.
We don't even think about them in the playoffs.
Yeah, we literally don't talk about them no more.
We talk about if the Warriors meet the number one seed.
We don't even be like, if the Suns get it right. And they're lower than the Suns, so that's the nasty part. And we still don't care about that no more. We talk about if the Warriors meet the number one seed, we're going to be like, if the Suns get it right.
And they're lower than the Suns, so that's the nasty part.
And we still don't care.
Yeah.
That's wicked, man.
Get well soon for sure.
All right, best team so far.
Thunder.
Yep.
Cavs.
Thunder Burns.
Knicks.
The rest of them, they just fuck out of here.
Celtics.
The best team?
Yeah.
The first half of the season, best team has been OKC or the Cavs. But the best team overall is first half of the season Best team has been
OKC or the Cavs
But the best team overall
Is the Celtics
OK
Meehan
OKC
Yeah I'm OKC
That's what I said
I'm standing on that
OK for sure
And somebody paid
$10 to talk to y'all
Wapaholic91
Shout out to the Super Chef
Said what y'all think about
Ant-Man not wanting to be
The face of the NBA
Cause he just wants to be himself
And not have to worry about
Being political
I ain't going to London

Bro that was hilarious
I had to post it
That shit was so funny
I was like that's some shit
I would've said
Fuck out of here
But
He said now whip me the face
Of y'all league go ahead
I don't think he want the pressures
Of being the face of the league
He just kinda want Liz to live his life.
He do, though.
He know what come with that.
He ain't trying to be in them.
He in it enough.
Yeah.
And I think that plays a role.
His off-the-court shit play a role in him not wanting to be the face of the league.
Like, nah, bro.
He'll be in the top boys every day.
Yeah.
Hey, that is crazy, though though I wouldn't want that either
I got paid
I can
If I'm living like that

Microscope on me like that
If he live like Jason Tatum
Then I embrace it
Cause you got the
You have the
What do you call it
Shit
I don't even know
What I'm looking for
The discipline
The swagger though
I'm saying how he act
would be cool if he didn't have all that off the court
shit going on. Most definitely.
Yeah. His bravado. He's relatable
to the wild youth.
He's relatable to like any
person that
grew up in the inner city.
You see
yourself in him. You might not carry yourself
the same way. You might be like man I wouldn't do that. Yeah. But if you was as talented him, you might not carry yourself the same way. You might be like, man, I wouldn't do that.
Yeah.
But if you was as talented as him,
you would be yourself too.
Yeah, for sure.
Most definitely.
Even how you just kind of said it in the conversation.
He's like, hell no, I ain't going to London.
Niggas felt that.
A lot of people would,
Wendy ain't saying that.
No.
Jason Tatum for sure.
No, Jason, I might be out there this summer.
Yeah.
Never slide.
Never slide. But hell no, I ain't be out there this summer. Yeah. Never slide.
And never slide.
But, yo, hell no, I ain't going to London.
I'm chilling.
Like, you know what I mean?
I get it.
Just like in the postgame, he told Charles Barkley, bring your ass.
Like, come on, bro.
That's the energy we need in the NBA, guy. Yeah, that's true.
You definitely can say that.
Like he said with Obama and them.
Obama was like, you were killing them.
You had two seven-footers.
He's like, chill out now. Like, not too many people were able to laugh. Like, you were killing him. You had two seven-footers. He's like, chill out now.
Not too many people were able to laugh.
You're right.
He didn't chill out.
Ease up now.

Okay.
Behan, you got a team, or are you just going with the top four?
Yeah, I don't like the east side.
Whatever happens over there happens. Our sleeper team is a team that we don't expect to make a run.
Yeah, who could possibly win a first-round matchup at that bottom half pause?
Detroit.
You could just go as is.
Magic.
Magic?
No, they get healthy.
They could.
You're right.
Magic Celtics? That's a tough draw. That's my favorite
east side team. Hawks, Cavs.
They didn't try to hunt. I would feel
a ways, but nah.
Might get wicked for sure. Okay. We there with it.
In the west, any sleeper teams?
The sleeper teams is probably the lower teams, which
are mostly made up of veteran teams.
I'd say probably Lakers
or Rockets.
Sleeper team for me is the Warriors.
Okay.
Warriors in that play-in spot for sure?
Yeah.
That's a team I don't think anybody want to face in the playoffs.
Not with Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry on the same team.
That's dangerous.
Yeah.
For the B-10 right now, that's some scary shit.
Yeah.
So, OKC having to play them first, that's a dangerous first-round matchup. I don't think i want to see them too nah hell nah i'd rather play the maps i'm gonna tell
you about that plan behind timberwolves and warriors i like that that's a good plan but i
just see the warriors beating the fuck out of timberwolves okay damn that the west is exciting
bro look at the team everybody on the west we got people that we actually looking forward to see play.
We love SGA.
We love Jai.
We love Jokic.
The Rockets are a fun team to watch.
You know the Thompson 20s, he's a superstar on the way.
Got Bron and Luka.
You got James Harden and Kawhi.
You got Ant-Man.
Then you got Kyrie and AD.
And the Kings,
Zach Levine, Deebo.
Then the Warriors got
Steph and Jimmy, and the Suns
got Katie and Book. The Spurs
got Fox and Wimby.
And then my trailblazers, my young guns.
Yeah, that 12, that first
12. That's where
all the heat is.
Yeah, it ain't no heat.
He ain't telling y'all all the smoke is out west.
Why you say nothing about the Jazz?
Hey, shout out to Collin Sexton and them, man.
Just because Gilly was being disrespectful.
Hey, did you see Jose Alvaro reply on the post?
He said, hey, I'll bust your ass.
And my bad.
What's that nigga's name?
Jose Alvaro?
I thought y'all was talking about Caldron.
You talking about Jose Caldron? Yeah, that's why. I didn't mean Alvaro? I thought y'all was talking about Calderon. You talking about Jose Calderon?
Yeah, that's why.
I didn't mean to disrespect him, but I'm like, damn, bro, my fault.
I thought that nigga said Jose Calderon.
Y'all names is close.
Jose Alvarado.
Jose Calderon's still cooking me right now.
I got Jose fucked up.
Yeah, Jose Calderon cooked me.
For sure.
All right, man, who's going to capture the flag, man?
Who's going to win the sweepstakes?
The Wizards The Hornets
The Pelicans
Or the Jazz
That's why the Blazers
Gotta chill out
They gotta chill out bro
They too good
They ain't getting it
Damn
They got 20 something wins
Yeah it's weird
Come on Chauncey
Not now bro
I forgot
I forgot exactly
How it works though
But at some point
I believe like the second half of the season,
the more competitive you are,
some type of bullshit they put in there to make teams
just not be completely trashed.
But it ain't going to matter anyway,
because they're going to get the number one pick.
He cannot go to Washington.
He cannot go to the Hornets.
What's the worst situation for him to be in?
Wizards, Hornets.
Yeah, 100%.
I agree with T.
No, between those two.
If you got a pick, Cooper got to go to them.
Wizards, bro.
That's the worst.
I'd rather him go to the Wizards than the Hornets.
Oh.
You sending him to die, bro.
I mean, I like the Hornets.
I like LaMelo.
He should be turnt up.
I like LaMelo.
I like Miles.
That's Lob City.
You got Brandon Miller, too.
I like Brandon Miller.
It's too many.
Nah, bro. Nah, nah, nah. Gang, gang. He don't fit that shit. You got Brandon Miller too I like Brandon Miller It's too many Nah Nah
Nah
Nah
Nah
Gang
Gang
He don't fit that shit
He's gonna do what Gordon Hayward
Was supposed to do
Yeah Gordon was ready
To get the fuck out of there
My boy G
Salim
Now you are absolutely correct
Cause why did they send
Gordon Hayward to be a vet
For the Mellow
Yeah
I hate this church
Yeah He do not.
He do not fit them.
Oh, it's rolling.
For sure, man. You want to take shots from LaMelo and Brandon Miller, they getting 25 a piece up.
You think they about to chill out for a Cooper flag?
Hell no.
But he fit better than G. Haydo, bro.
Yeah, I mean, he got that swag, but. He need to go somewhere where you say he can shoot the ball.
Those motherfuckers can get humble.
Hey, man, sit the fuck down.
You can't humble Brandon Miller and Ava Miller.
They cold.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
I'm two years older than you.
Man, I'm really cold.
I was just the leading vote getter in votes, nigga, to all-star team.
I am Irish 30, bro.
That's true.
Get in line, bro.
Wizards. Allards Alright everybody sit down
Yeah
Cause they play
They G League niggas
Yeah
And a lot of people think
That the fact that they
You know what I'm saying
Got those vets in there
And trying to move
Some pieces around
Was just for that reason
Like alright we trying
To facilitate some real
Winning shit next year
Like we gonna get
Some proven vets in here
So Cooper go shoot the ball
Every time he want to
We ain't worried about
The young people in the way
I ain't mad about the Pills either.
Him and Zion.
That'd be exciting.
Yeah, I like that.
That'd be exciting.
Freaky Trey.
I'll fuck with that.
Dang, that it?
Trey Murphy and Cooper?
Yeah.
Somebody have to go.
Nah, they won't.
They play together.
They can play together.
Trey Murphy, damn near a three.
For real, for real.
He is a three.
Zion playing a five?
Shit. Because Cooper got to start. Shit. Trey Murphy damn near a three. For real. He is a three. Zion playing the five. Shit. Cooper got to start.
Trey Murphy can play the two.
Trey Murphy can play
all over the floor. He a legit wing, bro.
For sure. He a legit wing.
Jazz, he going to get picked by the Jazz,
but I hate it. Oh, that's nasty.
I hate it. You're going to have
nobody to run with. That's how crazy.
Because Laurie, well, Laurie.
Laurie nice.
Laurie got to go, though.
He probably ready to go.
He came with.
Yeah, he might.
Damn, I'm tweaking.
World boy player.
Fuck.
Never mind.
Go ahead.
Okay.
I'm going to say Walker Kessler.
Yeah, that's a white front court for sure in Utah.
Collin Sexton not playing for the Jazz next year, or he going to stay?
Boy, ain't no telling what that's he about to do.
I don't even care.
Empty the house for Cooper, though.
Just fuck it.
Capture the flag for sure, man.
All right.
Super Chat asked some questions for us.
It is DeAndre.
When is the Gilly match, and what was going on through Behan Head
when Wallow kept stepping on the reimagines?
I was chilling, bro.
We was letting them have fun.
Shout out to Wallo and Gilly, man.
We don't know when that shit happening, though.
Yeah, man.
Gil fluff.
It's cool.
Yeah, I don't think that matchup is happening at all.
Shout out to Gilly and Wallo, though.
Love.
BK Pulley says, why do Jalen Brunson get top 10 player hype,
but they act like Dame is swash when he averages the same stats
and is the second option?
It's New York.
It's the media.
If Dame was in New York right now, he'd be getting that same attention,
same love.
It's just the media.
He in New York.
We all know Dame is a killer.
He just played in small markets since Portland is a small market.
Milwaukee is a small market.
Jalen Brunson got New York popping.
That's why.
That's a fact.
It's a bigger market.
That's all it is.
And I would dare say this year, who's the first option on the Knicks?
Catt or Jalen Brunson?
Jalen Brunson always the first option.
Respect.
What's his team?
Quartzside Chronicles.
I got a six-year-old son that hoop.
How your dad used to work y'all out that age, Jeff?
Yeah, my daddy worked us out when I was four.
Joe Jackson.
I wouldn't advise you to do that But yeah we used to work out
But it was fun
Well
Keep it fun it wasn't fun for us
That changed real quick
Keep it fun
Make sure you enjoy playing
Don't force them to play
Keep it fun
Alex Richman
Yo Jeff who you got
What Jeff Who who you got?
What, Jeff?
Who you I got coming out of the Elimination Chamber?
Gotcha.
Oh, who I got?
Rollins, Punk, McIntyre, Priest, Paul, or Cena.
That whole who you I got coming, it's crazy.
I'm trying to save it.
I'm not going to let y'all know some diction up here, but boy.
I'm going to play a keyboard game together. I feel like... Mike is a dickhead.
I feel like they got to have CM Punk.
CM Punk.
It got to be Punk.
Priest.
Paul.
Christina.
It's going to be CM Punk.
Who are those guys?
Wrestling, bro.
Oh, okay.
Respect.
For sure.
All right.
Top four teams
East Conference
before we get up out of here.
That shit wicked.
Some nasty four.
Are you in the East right now?
Cavs, Celtics, Knicks, Pacers, Bucks.
Top five.
Come on, man.
Yeah, the Pacers make that top four a week.
I ain't even saying it like that, but I'm saying as far as star power.
I'm not saying as them as a team.
I like being for real, too.
I'm not even joking.
I hate no DJ.
But, like, the Bucs with Giannis and Dane is more appealing than
Tyrese Halliburton and Siakam.
I don't disagree with that.
Yeah, so when you compare
the top four in the East against the top four
in the West, you'd rather
have them Bucs right there at four.
The Packers are still a good team, but you'd rather have them Bucs
right there at four. For the look. I dig it.
Should've won more games, though. We talked four.
In the West, we got
OKC, Memphis,
Nuggets, Rockets, Lakers.
Same thing with them.
For the look of it, the Lakers look better at four than the Rockets do.
Agreed.
No, I should just be here.
I know you.
You know what I'm saying?
You don't fuck with the Lakers.
OKC, Lakers, serious?
Is that a tough one?
Yeah, bro.
That's another doozy.
That's what I'm saying.
It's tough out there Young boys
Gonna have to bring it for real
You just got too many
Season vets over there bro
Too many people
Who capable of
Dictating the series
Yeah
The Lakers got two people
Who can control
The whole series
That's why you just need
To get to the playoffs
This shit
Regular season shit
Really don't mean that
When you got teams like that
Like teams like the Lakers
And Warriors
Killers like that
Anything can happen, bro.
That's like I had a couple years ago with the Kings.
They had their best season, and you play Steph Curry.
Yeah, but that's what happened even with the Celtics early on in Jason Tatum's career.
He was just too young, bro.
I mean, nobody was beating Brown, but I'm just saying shit was kind of hard, though.
But they was still getting late in that, like late runs and stuff.
I mean, they wouldn't get to the finals,
but you look in the West, like you said, Grizzlies having a hell
of a year at two, and
man, it could get split first round. Yeah, but the Lakers can beat
the Grizzlies. Yeah, that's what we're saying.
I'm saying that even the Clippers maybe
can beat the Grizzlies. Yeah, I played with
Timberwolves.
Ant and them, damn, we can beat them.
Straight up. You're not
too scared of a Grizzlies matchup.
You would rather see the Grizzlies than the Nuggets, than the Rockets, and the Thunder.
And they the two seed.
Yeah.
For sure.
All right, man.
Early predictions.
Who's coming out the East?
Who's coming out the West?
I would just like to see OKC and Boston in the finals.
In the finals?
I ain't mad at that at all.
I want Jason Taylor to get another championship.
I got Boston versus Denver.
Okay, you got Denver coming out?
Yeah.
Damn.
Yeah, I'm going to go Knicks, and I'm going to go OKC.
Oh, that's too sweet for us.
You think OKC is sweet to the Knicks?
Yeah, we beating their ass.
I don't know, brother.
Not a sweet, but I'll take a 4-2.
I think the Knicks could get them, bro. If everybody's healthy. If we healthy. know, brother. Not a sweep. I'll take a 4-2. I think the Knicks could get them, bro.

It's over.
And they're going to have home court.
You got Chetty?
Come on, bro.
Hey, man.
I don't disrespect.
I've been seeing the way Cap been playing this year, though.
I said healthy, though, too.
Because if OG is still going to be like this,
then obviously it doesn't matter.
You know, niggas, you're playing 48 minutes a game.
My whole starting five.
My bench ain't getting no love.
They definitely work overtime in New York.
My bench is damn near rookies in playoff time.
It's going to be green out there.
We've been having an eight, nine-man rotation all year.
That's a fact.
But I ain't going to lie.
If Jalen Brunson brings the fucking championship to New York,
he is lit forever.
He already lit.
He don't have to worry about a goddamn thing.
Never in life he's going to bring a championship.
He raised a banner in New York.
He's a guy, bro.
Bruh.
I ain't got nothing to say.
For sure, man.
We got one game tonight.
NBA starts back tonight with a make-up game due to the L.A. situation that took place
and they had to evacuate.
Hornets at Lakers.
LeBron sitting out the next two games to get his body right.
Y'all think he going up for a real run this postseason,
or he just, you know what I'm saying, trying to prove a point?
It's just a game I wouldn't play.
I ain't getting nothing out of it.
Let Lomelo go crazy at the crib.
That's just so I'll probably still win that game regardless, correct?
Yeah.
For sure.
All right, man.
We're going to some verified buckets that took place over this past first half of the season.
A couple dates.
Giannis, November 13th went crazy against the Pistons with 59-14, 7-3 blocks and 2 steals.

list you like? I'm going to take
Yoko all day. Okay.
