Starting point is 00:06:45 This is the whole goddamn estilo. That's his giddy up. Yeah. I respect it. Hey, man, season coming back. In very interest, I've been looking at all the jerseys going around. I hate them. Jerseys now suck.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Like, what jerseys did y'all grow up fucking with that, like, kind of made y'all fans of certain people, certain teams, that even though you wasn't aware of them niggas you liked, but, like, you saw the jerseys, like, I fuck with that shit. I wanted the Black Kings, Jason Williams 55. I always thought that jersey was hard. It was simple, but it was just like Nah, that shit was heat. Yeah, it was just like, I gotta have that jersey.
Starting point is 00:07:16 What you fuck with? Oh yeah, I knew what it was. I had a white blue, white royal blue and red Lamar Odom Clippers jersey. That was my nigga back in the day. Big L.O. fan. Damn, early on? Nah, facts. My niggas in T.
Starting point is 00:07:30 They good in them though. I fucked with L.O. See, in the hoop jerseys, I was early. I fucked with the Vancouver Grizzlies jerseys. That teal Mike Bibby jersey is one of the hardest jerseys of all time. It got slutted out recently. Shout out to Mike Bibby, but that's one of the hardest jerseys of all time. It got slotted out recently. Shout out to Mike Bibby, but that's one of the hardest jerseys.
Starting point is 00:07:47 That jersey was tough. I liked, it was one more. I used to fuck with the Pacers jerseys, though. Which ones? The early stripes? Nah, nah, I ain't fucked with the ones before that. When Reggie used to have a little box low key. Oh.
Starting point is 00:08:01 With the, the Joe Joe. Nah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, that was hard. That was cool. The Flo-Joe jerseys? Yeah, the Flo-Joe jerseys yeah yeah the flow joe yeah those are the lead bro i used to like them though i suppose yeah that jersey and that's fucked up now because like they be making all these different versions of jerseys it's just like yeah this shit cool but like kids don't get to grow up and like shit like even with like shackney hey y'all they had signature shoes like back then niggas had signature shoes. Like, even with these, these is the first LeBron, and it's cool. But, like, you ain't going to get too many kids that get to remember
Starting point is 00:08:29 their first signature shoe from their favorite player. Because they wear different jerseys every year. Like, that staple jersey ain't that same iconic feel no more. I think they might know the signature shoe, though. Like, I think everybody going to remember when you were a kid when I first got them jobs. Like, Lil Bobby didn't remember the Kyrie's. The first Kyrie. That's far. That's's far he fucked with them heavy growing up too yeah i just don't think
Starting point is 00:08:49 kids wear jerseys no more anyway no they don't i ain't the swag no but i think they remember them jobs though like i remember them first job yeah i bought enough of them bitches for my son yeah remember the job ones i don't know if they gonna remember people remember them pgs though look we talked about you know how I feel about that PG one it's one of the best hoops she was ever no it's true I like this you but I don't know if it's gonna be remember like how we just talking about the questions and stuff like I remember wanting that shoe so bad like yeah I wanted to be out lives but I don't think everybody's superstars like I've ever seen was a superstar though if they don't make you want to be like him
Starting point is 00:09:27 like I don't know Jack kind of a lot of kids want to be like Joe no no the influence for guys yeah yeah like it's not early on Kyrie to brother was a you staple bro being in that world for real all the kids all the teams and little motherfuckers had them had them carries on bro and that's and i'm big ass lebrons that's funny as you said that but the price point though them was the shoes and the price point to where everybody can afford to get them can't afford 200 all the bronze you got 110 for some jobs you got 115 for some carries but i just guess i think what's crazy is like the fan aspect of it is just like do you think that we still got that
Starting point is 00:10:04 same level of fan like you got social media now so you would think you don't need no marketing dollars all the shoes we talking about had crazy marketing campaigns i wonder what's missing with that we too they're too accessible like i feel like i know all of them already like i ain't feel like i knew alan iverson well i definitely didn't but you feel like you couldn't even get close to him. Now you feel like you can get close to Jock and Murray. You can go on live with him. You can talk to him.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Yeah. The internet fucked all that. The anticipation of the shit up. These niggas like, oh, we know Jock. Jock would be like, all right, Wednesday, I'm going live at 7. Tap in. We never got that from Iverson, bro. We didn't even have no phones to do that
Starting point is 00:10:46 we couldn't see him it was like a mystery everything we heard about him you just had to kind of like wait and see and then now you don't you can just go type in their name literally right now and you can go see whatever you want and got bts footage too oh got that content whether it be good bad or indifferent gonna got that content. Whether it be good, bad, or indifferent. Niggas gonna post that content. Yeah, they got content for sure. Because Jai going live is one of the craziest things ever. It happens.

I don't know how much weight that holds, but that does mean none of them can shoot as good as Cat. None of them. None of them bigs can shoot as good as Cat. I agree, bro. That nigga wouldn't be called for the lob at the three-point line. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Yeah, Cat, you not that. Athleticism, for sure. Hell, no. We ain't going to do that. But so far as, like, player, give me Cat, bro. Me, too. I think Cat. I for sure know Cat will kill that he will bust his
Starting point is 00:26:26 ass bro oh for sure I mean he got some years to get to that point cat is really an elite big he right after yoga's in and beat yeah if he had in B's mentality for real for real cabby probably the best thing in the league bro I think that cat just don't need to be in Minnesota no more I think him being somewhere else in a different team and different support would look really different for him. That nigga just too tender. I mean, shit. I mean, a lot of niggas be on that shit as long as you can hoop.
Starting point is 00:26:52 No, I'm saying, though, on the court, like, if Cat had that yokage and got them in B, Killer Instinct, bro, it'd show more. I agree. Because they got a solid team. I ain't saying niggas going to win the championship, but they got a solid enough team to compete saying niggas gonna win the championship but they got a solid enough team to compete though for real but you can assess this at that level that's
Starting point is 00:27:10 the difference between niggas niggas skill who all-star all nba all them niggas cold but that be the difference like yeah it's all it's also your surroundings like i think yokish got a good supporting cast like everybody let him be him and they play off of him. Like every year in Minnesota, one year it was Wig team. We building around Wig, next year we building around Cat. Then now we building around Ant. Like that's his shit now. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:27:41 You know what I mean? So they got Gold Bear and Cat playing together, that don't mix. One of the dumbest try to zing in history. Yeah, but now that You know what I mean? So they got Goldbeer and Cat playing together. That don't mix. One of the dumbest tryouts in NBA history. Yeah, but now that's Ant's team, clearly. Ant probably a top 10 player in the NBA. Absolutely. And he only was in his third or fourth year.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Yeah. So it's time. Cat got to take a back seat, but Cat still only, what, 27? Yeah, he's still young. Yeah, and he's not even nowhere Close to his prime So I think if he would've Went to like Let Cat go to D.C.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Or some shit like that It's time to trade him And that's what I feel like I mean for him It's like He went through a lot in Minnesota He deserves to get a fresh start Somewhere else
Starting point is 00:28:17 With another team Like let Cat get with LaMelo Oh it's up Oh that'd be fire bro That's a good call That'd be nice That's a good call they get yeah they get cat and shawna hell yeah i i don't want to send nobody to the charlotte hornets and even

Starting point is 00:43:03 i could see him be i'm like uh stop describing how good James Harden is. I like Jordan Poole, but. Maybe because they doing the whole six man and now that show team type shit. I mean, I get the transitioning. That's what they doing. To like him being a star now. Yeah, that's what they doing. I get it.
Starting point is 00:43:16 I got a question for y'all. He can average 30. No, we're not just going to say that. I'll say he can probably average 24, 25. Nah, Jordan Poole got a clip, bro. I'm not, I think. He ain't sharing the ball no more. Nah, Jordan Poole got a clip, bro. I'm not – I think – He ain't sharing the ball no more. I like Jordan Poole's game a lot.
Starting point is 00:43:29 He got cool. A lot of shit you realize, like, Steph, all them took a lot of – you got a lot of one-on-ones. You didn't get the best defender every night. True. Not saying he can't kill because when Steph was out, he killed two. Yeah. But I'm just saying, every now and then, the whole game plan is around you.
Starting point is 00:43:45 And you ain't got that same ball movement. But I think people looked at James Harden like that, too. You're right. Seriously. But he wasn't averaging 20. Because you coming off the bench and you like just a spark. Now we giving you 100 M's to go to a different team. Nigga, what's up?
Starting point is 00:43:59 But he was only averaging 15. Absolutely. No, he was secondly scoring on the goal. Goal was taken last year. No, I'm talking about he's talking about jimmy yeah oh yeah for sure yeah i i just i don't know i just seen him at least the first year i see him clowning oh he's gonna get that he's gonna be entertained to watch like he's gonna get that bitch up but i feel like what james harden works kind of out of pocket is i saw what
Starting point is 00:44:19 he did to the spurs bro like i saw that shit you've seen moments where you was like damn he the best player yeah and they You know they closed out Altogether But it was times Even though he wasn't At that time He was just like
Starting point is 00:44:29 Damn is it James or Russ Like obviously Russ was a Russ James Harden Definitely the best Six man ever too So That's kind of hard to be
Starting point is 00:44:36 That ain't even fair to say That's not That's not true I know what you're saying But that ain't fair to say He's not the best six man ever Who's your best six man Cause he wasn't He wasn't a six't fair to say. He's not the best six man. Who was your best six man? Because he wasn't a six man.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Who you taking as the best six man ever? He came off the bench. Yeah, that was just Technic. That's just like on some Ginobili shit. Yeah, he's not really a six. It was Technicad. He's like, who was even starting? I love Tabo, but we knew.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Everybody knew in their heart. Like Jimmy better. Like Tabo. Why you putting Tabo on the game? I respect my nigga. They like him. like I love top oh it's my god but it's like we know table starting because they need help off the bench scoring off the bench I was a good defender though yeah but it's like then the next time you see Andre Roberson you like was it I know Andre Roberson is not better than whoever he is and I like Andre Roberson but it's
Starting point is 00:45:23 like what the happened Andre Roberson he like tore his leg he is. And I like Andre Roberson, but it's like. What the fuck happened to Andre Roberson? He, like, tore his leg up real bad or something. He tried to make a return, but it's a tough injury to come back from. I don't fuck with y'all with that. I'm happy he got paid for that shit. But, like, Ginobili, we knew, like, Ginobili was better than Bruce. I mean, whatever, the brown nigga, Bowen, whatever he was. We knew he was better, but for that team, they needed Ginobili to come off the bench and do what he do.
Starting point is 00:45:43 And he played close and miss in the game, too. For sure. And that's, I mean, we could talk about it. Who's your favorite six man? I know you probably asked lots of you to choose from. Jamal or Lou. I was fortunate to play above of him. You leave buckets.
Starting point is 00:45:58 I'll never forget Gilbert Arenas breaking down Lou Williams a couple years ago. He was just like, for the minutes and the stats that you accrue, what they would have to pay you as a starter if you had the same stats. And I was just like, that's crazy how the business of basketball works. Because he was just as efficient as a player on a max deal. Nah, Lou, bro, Lou one of the coldest hoopers I've ever seen in my life.
Starting point is 00:46:19 And you know what he gonna do. Right to left, crossover, pull up, fade into the left. Heads he going right, Right to left crossover. Pull up. Fade into the left. Heads he going right get to the bucket. Crossover going left. Pump fake.
Starting point is 00:46:31 You jump. He jump into you. I'm surprised he never made 10 M's a year. Time it. What's this fucked up? Nah, yeah, what I'm saying. He definitely deserved
Starting point is 00:46:41 way more money than he got. He had a great NBA career. He did. He was one of the coolest people off the court. Long, long NBA career. Definitely respect it. I bet you can't find one person in the NBA to say, like, anything bad about Lou. And that mean a lot.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Yeah. That mean a lot. There's no way you can. He the coolest teammate to all the young guys. Oh, like, the old heads would mess with him. Like, you can't. I wish the league had more Lou Wills, the nigga that can
Starting point is 00:47:08 just actually take over the locker room and make sure it's shit straight. That nigga did that shit naturally, though. Even when I was on his team, our team ain't talk a lot, but we all was cool. He just naturally, it's something like, I don't know, something about him where he'd be like... He's a personable person.
Starting point is 00:47:24 He'd be like, damn, where you about to go tonight? He'd be like He's a personable person He be like Damn man Where you about to go tonight And he be like Ah shit I think I might just go to And he be like Man I kinda fuck with you And he be like
Starting point is 00:47:31 Ah yeah That's fire Like I I ain't give off that energy I'll go that motherfucker Like he better not say God damn thing to me Cause you can't come with me
Starting point is 00:47:40 Motherfucker You that type of ass Nah I fuck with What about that nigga Cab is fucked I fuck with everybody But i just wasn't as personable yeah yeah i wasn't trying to let people in like i am now like now everybody y'all know me but when i was at the gym i ain't really let like the training staff i wouldn't joke with them
Starting point is 00:47:58 i joke with like one training staff so you never pulled a rookie or nobody in and like i joked with all them all All my teammates. I'm talking about like, fuck with them, fuck with them. He's my young nigga. But you said everybody else in the organization. The rest of the organization think I was an asshole. Gotcha. Because I'll walk in and I wouldn't say a word.
Starting point is 00:48:16 I just didn't talk to them. But my teammates would be like, this nigga a clown. Yeah. But I feel like the NBA does not give a fuck about vets no more. I mean, a lot of people talk about that for whatever reason why you know i know it's a money thing but you definitely need that because you're still in the industry where you have millionaires under age of 25 yeah but you just need motherfuckers that can relate to the new generation it's kind of different though
Starting point is 00:48:39 because when you was a knight if you was nice in the league like if you ever had a moment where you averaged 15 or more yeah that mean you was a pretty decent player if you average 20 or more you were an elite player right it's hard to like transition to just being like hey this is how you do it this is how you do it if you wasn't a star a lot of people just don't respect you the same way like that's what i can say about lou will he earned a lot of people respect because he killed yeah but if you will you ain't got that respect like udonis haslam had it because he grew up i mean he had miami his whole time yeah so as soon as you came in it was like ud you meet him like a coach yeah ud like oh damn that's ud like yeah he tell you how this shit Gonna go Blah blah blah But if you a young dude And for instance

Yeah, but the fact that he could play that long. There's no way I shouldn't have played longer than LeBron. Not longer than LeBron, but- No, you should have. He should have retired. You came in the league six years later.
Starting point is 00:52:55 He should have retired before I got finished. Right, nigga. You came in the league six years later. That is amazing, bro. Hey, man. You might be passive. You might be the GOAT, bro. If Bron get five, I'm starting a conversation.

Starting point is 00:54:16 He started in Portland, though. No, he didn't. Nah, he came off the bench in Portland. He came off the bench in Portland. He started some games, but as a majority, he came off the bench in Portland. I mean, he was still cold, but it was just like he was averaging 14 15. it was like it wasn't right it was just looking weird but it's kind of hard to tell people that's like that that's good their whole life to be like hey bro stop playing it's like i've been doing this my whole life and i'm
