Starting point is 00:08:49 I think it's smart by him. You know I'm the best quarterback. I'm QB1. I had a great year last year. Yes. Run me my money. And he kind of got him at a standstill. Like, you damn near got to get the money for him because y'all need him.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Yeah, they reported this morning. You know what I'm saying? They agreed to part ways because he held them by the fire, bro. That's where he tried to. That portal been closed for football. So it's kind of tough to go get an SEC, too. And he's getting a lot of recruitment from different places. I seen Colorado being one of them.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Ohio State. Man, these coaches be doing whatever they want to. So I don't even need to be mad at the kids. These coaches be wilding out. But he might have played himself. I ain't know they decided to part way. He played himself. Because you are known as a QB1 somewhere else. And you good.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And I know you ain't trying to go to no Marshall. No offense to Marshall or no, you know what I mean? Everybody already got their quarterbacks, I feel like. They got their guys. He said, they ain't got a me up there. What's happening? I mean, Ohio State don't. Colorado,
Starting point is 00:09:47 they show, but I mean, they rocking with their youngster. Yeah. They rocking with their youngster. Yeah. That was in communication, so you never know,
Starting point is 00:09:55 but that portion is fire. I'm nothing on taking him. Nothing, bro. You ain't holding me, holding the gun to my head like that? No, bro, I'm not. None of these big schools,
Starting point is 00:10:05 bro said Marshall. Where Randy in them went, cool. You didn't hold me, holding the gun to my head like that? No, bro, not. None of these big schools. Bro said Marshall. We're ranting and went cool. Go to Marshall. But nah, bro. Ain't no Clemson, no Alabama, no. Clemson might be able to use him. I ain't going.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Yeah, he's cold. I'm not saying he's sad, but somebody got to teach, somebody got to make an example. Wake Forest, definitely. You need that NIL. Like, that's crazy, bro. We ready to,
Starting point is 00:10:23 we got, we ain't got the foe. Like, that's crazy, bro. We ready to. We got. We ain't got the four. Yeah, I got the two. But we got the 2-1. Oh, that's tough. We put the extra hundred on there. He might have to settle, bro. Oh, he's definitely going to settle.
Starting point is 00:10:37 You got to settle, bro. This is not no NFL shit, bro. No, bro. Go get my bread. But that's what I feel like kids forget the biggest goal. It's like, you just want to make it to the league. Yes. Not playing is not going to get you to the league. And look how you acting now. The NFL is already
Starting point is 00:10:51 damn near shy, Steve, bro, when it comes to paying niggas, bro. They already don't want to pay the elite what they paying them. So for you to be cutting up like this and goddamn college nigga, you better be a fool in the NFL for us to even consider paying you some type of money like that, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Now, let's play devil's advocate in this situation. What if he was promised a bread and he ain't get it? And now he like, oh, if I don't get my bread by this, it's over. Yeah, if he was promised it,
Starting point is 00:11:15 make that known. Like Florida State. Like Florida State. How they did Coach Hamilton. Yeah, he ain't pay. Exposed. Nah, for sure. I'm with that. He was just like, you know what? Fuck all this in, y ain't pay. Exposed. Nah, for sure. I'm with that.
Starting point is 00:11:26 He was just like, you know what? Fuck all this in, y'all. I'm out. I'm out, bro. I ain't paying none of y'all. Get it back in blood. I'm with that.
Starting point is 00:11:33 If that's the case, the ball in your court, bro. But if you come in there and cause a hill, no way, bro. Somebody got to draw the line, bro. Man, that's fire. The players, like,
Starting point is 00:11:43 you could have a holdout in college. Imagine if y'all did that. Like, hey, we number one in the nation. We all need this bread. Nah, that's what our – my coach came to see our high school team play. He coached at Georgetown. He was just like two of them, Coach Querby and Coach Battle. They was just like, man, if we had to pay y'all back then,
Starting point is 00:12:00 he said we'd be having to send money every practice. He said y'all already didn't like the practice. So imagine if you ain't feel like practicing that day. I know you. You would have been like, coach, I need $10,000 to practice. I wouldn't have did y'all like that. He was like, you shitting me. I would have did y'all like that. That's just crazy, bro.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I would have been asking for something new every month. Every year, every game we got better. After we beat Duke, I swear I'd have been like, y new every month every year every game we got better like after we beat Duke I swear I'd be like y'all need 20,000 I mean if they gotta spend it but I just think it's
Starting point is 00:12:32 fucking you up in the long run it would've but I'm just saying like you we would've been so unlike we
Starting point is 00:12:39 I'm coming from the west side of NAP I would've my mind was money oh yeah but I would've been filthy this girl would've been cool with the cheese but I'm saying the west side of the nap. My mind was, money? Oh, yeah. I would have been filthy. Miss Crowe would have been
Starting point is 00:12:48 cool with the cheese, but I'm saying, I still think you would have had a grounded foundation, though, bro. Yeah, but, because I didn't come from nothing, so you could have probably told me,
Starting point is 00:12:56 I'm going to give you $200,000 for the year, and I would have been like, sweet. Oh, that's fire, actually. Still, for the nigga that's getting that, that's what I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:13:04 that's just, that's some light cheese now I know but I'm saying I would've been like sweet that's why they would've had me in the trick bag cause they would've got me like Jeff we're gonna
Starting point is 00:13:12 get you 550 I'm like mama 500,000 she would've been like yes sir when you were the five way O.T. yeah y'all found out
Starting point is 00:13:20 that James was making 2.5 and that's when I would've turned to fucking food that third game hey we gonna have to get that to 2.5, then that's when I would have turned the fucking food. That third game. Hey, we're going to have to get that to 2.5 quick, y'all. Now you hating.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Get out of my purse, bro. Now I don't know if I'm going to practice today. Since I'm a tip employee, this is how you treat me. You got those kids and even if they're doing that, promise you're setting yourself up for failure on the next level. You probably ain't going to make the next level you probably ain't gonna make the next level
Starting point is 00:13:47 yeah NBA ain't going for that bro NFL for damn sure most likely you probably ain't gonna make it though to the next level
Starting point is 00:13:54 but I think that's probably the point you making too um it's like some of the kids ain't gonna make it I need all that now oh if you wanna do I'm talking about
Starting point is 00:14:02 the kids who really have a legit chance of making it to the NFL and the NBA. Don't fuck yourself so hard. They ain't worried about that, though. Like, A.J. DeVance ain't worried about this BYU money. Yeah, I'm sure he's not, bro, but I'm saying he ain't holding out
Starting point is 00:14:16 either. He ain't doing all this extra shit either. Nah, like, he ain't worried about that. The people that might not make it to the NFL are the ones worrying about that. Like, this kid from Tennessee, he talented. He probably will make it. He could, but he probably not. You know what I'm saying? But he could,
Starting point is 00:14:29 but he probably not. Because when your mind is focused on money, and ain't nothing wrong with trying to earn money, but when your mind is focused on making a dollar amount,
Starting point is 00:14:38 your skill kind of take it, diminish a little bit because you start focusing on the wrong thing. Like, it's cool to know your worth. Like, yeah, I'm worth this,
Starting point is 00:14:46 but keep the main thing, the main thing. That's one thing I actually respect about Brian. He used to always say that. Like, even though I'm making all this bread, the main thing is the main thing.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I want to be great at the sport. Keep the main thing, the main thing. All right, they ain't working out the bread right now. You trying to get four million, they ain't got it.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Whatever. They playing, you feel like you're getting played two million. What should they go out and kill? Because I only support the walk-ons
Starting point is 00:15:08 who were growing up at NIL, but. Oh, so you support the marriage transfer and see that? Yes. I support that because, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:15 we're not supposed to be here anyway. So we got blessed. We got blessed with a bag. You feel me? They paying for their college. You feel me? Because I feel like
Starting point is 00:15:22 they still know, like, I'm working after this I was never the number five player in the country just keep the mind thing the mind thing man it's real get to the league man
Starting point is 00:15:31 speaking of Bron you see Isaiah Thomas Hayden Isaiah oh yeah yeah OG what did he say man Bron was
Starting point is 00:15:38 at the shooter early in the game it was early in the day I thought it was like main shooter on time but he had his shirt off with the durag on Isaiah Thomas was like man this is just unprofessional.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Like, what are we doing? And everybody was just like, Isaiah, we fuck with you. But you were the wrong person to be talking about what's professional in a professional setting, my brother. Yeah, on my soul. You set the play up for a nigga to get hurt. Yeah. And New York Knicks Isaiah Thomas.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Yeah, I was going to say. Chill out, fam. Yeah. You got to get off Brian. Now y'all just pick it with nasty But then Brian said You know what He had a tweet saying I was gonna say something
Starting point is 00:16:11 But never mind Yeah Shout out to us 50 wins I'm like hey That person he's a broad along bro He about to start hitting the clip Cause he clearly don't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:16:20 Nah not no more I'm on my way out I can say anything I wanna say now I done set the records. I done did all that shit. Them old heads got to chill because that's literally you just bothering me
Starting point is 00:16:29 at this point, bro. I'm warming up. I do this in Erie City, bro. I ain't trying to do this for the hoes or nothing, bro. I'm on YouTube. I'm on TikTok, Instagram, working out with my shirt off

You are legit hating on me bro we have been okay with lebron with a durag you know it's probably for no reason to this point we just let my boy rock out anyway so it's cool but let that go bro yeah i'm professional it's crazy yeah bro you can't say that and we we speak hollywood you know you a legend bro let it ride bro yeah i think he's getting too old bro damn. Damn. Bro, I can't do nothing.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.

Starting point is 00:22:10 That's crazy. You don't like the bad boy pisses? No, bro. That 4-5 would not make it today in the 4-5. That's one 4-5 power forward and center that I know for sure wouldn't be able to play in today's game. Sleep on Bill Lambert and who else? Who was that 4?
Starting point is 00:22:25 I'm talking about your boy who for sure wouldn't be able to play in today's game. Sleep on Bill Lambert and who else? Who was that for?

Nigga, it was one time they had Rick Mahorn, Dennis Rodman, and Bill Lambert on the court. That's some nasty sports, man. No way, it was one time they had Rick Mahorn, Dennis Rodman, and Bill Embiid on the court. That's some nasty horse racing, bro. That was a championship team.
Starting point is 00:22:50 That's why I think De'Aaron Thomas is one of the best guards to ever play basketball because he got two. Back to back at a time where people wasn't doing that and he went against everybody
Starting point is 00:22:57 with that roster. Yeah, bro. He has some certified legit bodyguards, bro. Why he went into Blackwell, bro? Yeah, bro. And Rodman in the cut. Yeah. And John Southerly. Come on now. John was on that team. Joeguards, bro. Why you went in the black one, bro? Yeah, bro. And Robin in the cut.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Yeah. And John Southerly. Yeah. Come on now. John was on that team. Joe was nice, though. Joe Dumars? Joe Dumars was nice.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Isaiah was nice, bro. Because you look at that era, bro. He had to get out. I mean, honestly, they was beating the sleeves off the bulls. I ain't going to say get past him, but they was handling them.
Starting point is 00:23:20 But Larry's self-success was crazy, and then you had to go do a magic team in the finals, bro. And you got two back-to-back. That's tough. Yeah, he... He won some tough championships.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I ain't gonna hold him. He's up there with Dirk. Yeah, but you can't... Nobody... You can't talk about Bron. But I do respect him because he always said Bron was better than Mike.
Starting point is 00:23:40 But we knew that came from hate, but... Yeah. It's Sean. Yeah, yeah. It came from hate, but... I was your one. Yeah. It came from hate. I was going to talk about this. It's a lot of, you know what I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:23:48 Dwight Howard and Shaq, you know what I'm saying, in their feud, which I thought was dope. Okay. Dwight said he wanted him to walk him out of his Hall of Fame. I thought that was fire. I'm surprised by that. I am too. But then I thought about it this year earlier,
Starting point is 00:24:00 and Dwight was just like, hey, Shaq, you want to throw these hands? And Shaq was like, I'm an old man. Why you say this to me now? And I'm like, okay. At that point, this has to be resolved. He asked Shaq the bump. Yeah, he said he wanted to throw the boxes. Yeah, I like that. Shaq said,
Starting point is 00:24:11 you talking to him now? He's like, oh, no. We've been talking a long time. What's up with it? Bro, that's crazy. I don't care how old you are. I'll tell you all now. Ain't the life funniest here. Asking Shaq the bump is crazy. Bro, you've been disrespecting me for so long.
Starting point is 00:24:28 You've been picking on that nigga that long. What's up with it? Sometimes timing is everything, bro. Nah, that's good. Floyd Mayweather waited a long time to fight his opponents for a reason, man. Have an advantage. Hold on, I'll do that to Floyd, though. Floyd is the greatest, bro.
Starting point is 00:24:40 But Floyd definitely- That was a little shady, bro. Nah, Floyd definitely- Yeah, it was shady as fuck. Floyd did not fight some people in their quote-unquote prime. He ain't fight Pacquiao because Pacquiao was on steroids. Respect.
Starting point is 00:24:53 And then the moment he got off steroids, everybody started whipping Pacquiao ass. They had to. What's up, bro? We're coming to America and cheating, bro. Shout out to his hoop league.
Starting point is 00:25:05 That's why he's bludgeoned. No, man. We can't put no Floyd on. I mean, no smut on Floyd's jacket, man. Nah. Sometimes, man. Time is everything, man.
Starting point is 00:25:13 But listen, we're talking about them interviews. I want there to be an interview with Isaiah and MJ. I know it'll never happen, but I would love
Starting point is 00:25:21 for that to happen, bro. They have to sit down and talk, bro. They would never. It's over with. They're going to take it to the ground. Yeah, that to happen, bro. They have to sit down and talk, bro. They would never. It's over with. They're going to take it to the ground. Yeah, that beef, I think. I don't like, I always say, you know, safety first, but I'm okay with them two crashing
Starting point is 00:25:34 out forever. Yeah. Because there's way too much disrespect on and off the court for them, bro. Bro, after the last- We too old to be friends. I agree. I just want them to hate each other in their face because that's going to be prime time TV. Like, we both 60, bro. I don't, it's over, bro. It too old to be friends. I agree. I just want them to hate each other in their face because that's going to be primetime TV.
Starting point is 00:25:47 We both 60, bro. It's over, bro. I've hated you for 30 years. Keep hating us. Just keep the hate going. How do you feel if you jerked and you seen a goat dancing to They Not Like Us? That's how my relationships ain't real.
Starting point is 00:26:06 That's all all you feel me like you know DeMar a guy DeMar the only one to me that get a pass cause he grew up with Kendrick
Starting point is 00:26:14 he ain't asked to play in Toronto he end up building a relationship with Drake so you know what I'm saying it's kind of different but everybody else bro
Starting point is 00:26:22 it's kind of yeah I don't know if I'm Drake it's kind of fuck y of... Yeah. I don't know. If I'm Drake, it's kind of fuck y'all. Why? But I can't like Kendrick too, though?
Starting point is 00:26:31 You can, but if you're supposed to be my nigga, you can't be out here dancing, bro. How y'all know Kendrick or my nigga, though? That's cool, bro. I ain't see him over here when he's kicking it, bro. I mean, you a little more friendlier
Starting point is 00:26:41 than Kendrick. You like to do the pulling up on niggas and doing all that shit Only one that kept it solid Though I ain't gonna lie Is Is KD
Starting point is 00:26:48 Oh KD was It was Team Dragon's Host Yeah yeah He kept it solid That's his man I do I don't know bro
Starting point is 00:26:56 To me it is just music But I'm saying If you already in that Like if somebody made A song like about you Talking about you Touching little girls And shit bro I can't rock with them.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Nah, I feel that. So that's what I'm saying. I don't know the level of people's friendships. Yeah, I feel like none of them was really, like, real-life friends. Yeah. But I think that was just, like, cool with Drake. Yeah, but you see them, they're supposed to be, like, Sierra King and PTO together.
Starting point is 00:27:20 They all linked up at the games and stuff. But as you know, a lot of this stuff be superficial. Yeah. It all look good. the games and stuff. But as you know, a lot of this stuff be superficial. Yeah. It all look good. It's all entertainment. I mean, it's music though at the end of the day.
Starting point is 00:27:30 But I'm not mad at Drake for feeling a way about LeBron in that situation. I understand. Regardless of how we may see that relationship, I feel like they had probably a real relationship.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Or at least Drake seemed to appear that way. I don't know, bro. After that shop interview, what I told you about that whole shit, you could never let me down. I don't see what you. After that shop interview, what I told you about that whole shit, you can never let me down. I don't see you going
Starting point is 00:27:47 from shit like that to, oh, we really wasn't cool. I don't know, bro, at all. But I just think he just really just fuck with his niggas mainly. Like, mad at them, bro. Oh, I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Everybody else is kind of interchangeable if they gotta be. He traded AD. Yeah. Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm playing. I mean, but if he did be. He traded AD. Yeah. Nah, I'm just saying. I'm playing. I mean, but if he did.
Starting point is 00:28:09 I'm just playing. You ain't mad. You ain't the guy. I used to think him and Mo Williams was hella cool. He left him. That's just Ron, bro.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Imagine if he would've said he cleaved because of Mo Williams. Shout out to Mo Williams. Yeah. Nah, definitely shout out to him. I just think LeBron just like, bro, he was entertainment, bro. Yeah. I can like my whips. No, definitely shout out to them. I just think LeBron just like, bro, he was entertainment, bro.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Yeah. I can like what I like. I might bleep out him talking about you, whatever he say about the little girls. I might not say that part, but the song is hard.
Starting point is 00:28:35 So respect. And it's a battle shit. And that niggas be saying, the gloves is off. Once we reach a certain point, I can say whatever. So Drake's been in multiple glove-off moments, so that's why I was a little shaky on why he sued.
Starting point is 00:28:50 But I get it. But, you know, you in this sport. Stick to the game. Oh, good. Most definitely. All right, B-Him, man. I think it's time to turn it up a little bit, man. Oh, yeah.

So we'll go through a couple of drinks and see how you feel about them. If he goes to a bar and he's alone and he gets a lemon drop, how you feel about this individual?
Starting point is 00:30:13 I don't know what they drink. He might just want something sweet. Okay. If they drink a lemonade, it's the same difference. Hmm. Cat. He just like them. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:40:34 the court, he has to be considered, bro. His explanation for the grenade toss is fucking hilarious, bro. It's one of the best I've seen, though. What did he say? He said, nah, bro, I'm just throwing my words to the haters, bro, and they can't get back to me. I'm blocking the haters.
Starting point is 00:40:49 That's fire. Fire explanation. Quinn Miller is on the jack, for sure. That was a ghostwriter. Because that boy didn't think of that. Somebody else was telling him. That was ghostwriting. Somebody said, John, they're about to find you

Starting point is 00:41:21 as far as you can man and enter the you know what I mean basically you about to enter the portal nah I think you mean? Basically, you're about to enter the portal. Nah, I think he's going to be straight. He said he's about to enter the portal. I think he's going to be straight. Baselport wasn't going to invade right now.
Starting point is 00:41:32 I can't say he won't. Obviously, I think he's going to stay there, but, man, all bets is off, bro. The way that they're acting towards everybody, coaching players, everybody's damn near expendable at this point. Yeah, I just can't see who they would trade him for. I think something major would have to happen for them to push ahead.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Yeah, I just can't see who they would trade them for. Players still got more power than the coaches? Than the coaches? Yeah, for sure. Coaches ain't got no power. See, Mike Malone got mad at fire because they said people ain't like him no more. Yeah, the more reports that's coming out about that is
Starting point is 00:42:03 basically saying the players was kind of like alright like he cool type shit like they wasn't really like oh we gotta have that like he cool damn near they got him up out the paint bro yeah damn man that's a tough job bro he got an extension so he ain't tripping yeah he got a
Starting point is 00:42:19 dumb bag on the way out oh so when they fire you they still gotta pay you for your whole contract all of the above. Everything guaranteed. Oh, man. Mickey, sit down, brother. I didn't know it was like that. That's why Frank Vogel ain't tripping.
Starting point is 00:42:31 You ain't heard nothing from Frank Vogel. He chilling. Oh, okay. Yeah, I didn't. That's news to me. That's why Coach Bud ain't tripping.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Fire me, I'm going to go. I told you, I'm going to put some more accessories on that boat. Just ride out. Damn, nah, that's fire. Now, you see what Monty Williams is just like,
Starting point is 00:42:44 oh, y'all gonna fire me after this crazy deal in year one up in Detroit wow I'll go coach high school that boy went coach high school damn
Starting point is 00:42:53 that's a part yeah you straight I did not know that at all yeah shit you gotta love the game to want to come back at something like that
Starting point is 00:43:01 yeah sitting down like the fact that mark jackson is still one of the coaches, crazy. I don't know if Mark Jackson is still one of the coaches.
Starting point is 00:43:08 I mean, I'm just saying, like, after a while sitting down, it's like, damn, what did you just say? Because I feel like he's getting paper elsewhere, though,
Starting point is 00:43:15 commentating and shit. For sure. Yeah, that was the thing that would suck the longest, even though they had, like, the best broadcast. I still think that him and Jeff Van Gundy
Starting point is 00:43:22 had the best broadcast. I love their broadcast. For sure. And Mike Breen, that shit was A1. But that's like contemplating going back. Why did Buster Lee take a good-ass job for? Jeff Van Gundy went back to coaching too, though. I'm surprised. Made for This Mountain

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology,

And I want to just see if y'all could give me a player or somebody on this team who would be really important for this team to go far in the playoffs. Obviously,
Starting point is 00:48:30 let's start off with the Thunder. Outside of the SGA, who's that person on the team you think really got to hoop out for them to go far? You want to chat? Yeah. For me,
Starting point is 00:48:39 it got to be J-Dub. Okay. He got to have a playoff series to remember. He's an all-star. And he got to have all-star numbers this whole run. I like that. I'm with that for sure.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Like you said, Chet, I think he's going to be the X factor in that situation, but I think J-Dub got to be that consistent 20, 20-plus a night for them. He got to. To really put some fear in people's hearts. Yeah. Houston. Jalen Green. Got to show why he a star.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Okay. This is basically like announcement day, like I'm here type shit. This is my team. This is my franchise. I'm here to stay, build around me. I'm going to go with Sagan or Sagan, whatever his name is. The fucking center. He was an all-star.
Starting point is 00:49:24 He's been playing well. But he got to go against... If he gets stuck against Jokic or whoever they end up playing, he got to have a moment. He got to solidify himself as an all-star. He got to have a moment. I'm not against Jalen Green. I think he's going to have a breakout playoffs,
Starting point is 00:49:40 but he got to be consistent 20-10. Most definitely. Los Angeles Lakers. Shit, Luka. Yeah definitely. Los Angeles Lakers. Shit, Luka. Yeah, I agree, Luka. Show him that it can work with you and O-Head back there running shit. I take that back.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Brian. Brian for me. Because you can kind of expect what Luka's going to do. We don't know what Brian's going to do because we see Brian sometimes. Brian is at 16, 24, 18. You know what I mean? And Brian hasn't really played significant basketball really in a while.
Starting point is 00:50:19 So what kind of stat line do you think he needs to have for them to be successful? For them to win? Because Austin Reeves, he consistently gets 20 points. Thanks. Luka, for the most part, been pretty consistent. Bron been great. He been good, but he hasn't had Bron type numbers that we look at.
Starting point is 00:50:38 I mean, he is 40 years old, but for them to make it to the chip, Bron going to have to be 24, 6 and six and six like it might not be superman brown but he gonna have to be damn sure cavaliers third year braun like second year braun you know what i mean like 25 and five that next year i think he probably was like 25 or something he gotta be second year braun yeah i also think they bitch too. Got to prove themselves. They got to make shots. Yeah. That's interesting you said that. I was going to go Osiris, but to your point,
Starting point is 00:51:11 it is a Bron situation. Because we know that Osiris is going to adapt to whatever that situation. He's going to do what he's going to do. But if Bron just have two games in series where he just dominates, it's going to get ugly. Yeah. Because they run off Bron. Believe it or not, I know Luka got the ball the most, but when Brian is special, that team unbeatable, damn near.
Starting point is 00:51:34 I would love for the Lakers to be that team that Luka just take them three courses away, and then fourth quarter, Brian just take over. Brian going to the fourth quarter with 12 points in the game with 22 type shit. Dominate. If he can save his body like that, I know he'll want to do it. That'll be crazy. But I seen you pull this groin again.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Yeah. Aggravated. So, might be a, might get a little weird in this playoff. Hey, man, we don't seem to, like you said, we don't seem to, Bron snap his ankle, tie his shoe up. I'm sure that whatever is necessary, he going to take a sense of being Bron. He's 40 now, though. You're 22. That's what Gil done say. Yeah a sense of being broad. He's 40 now, though. You're 22.
Starting point is 00:52:05 That's what Gil done say. Yeah, like that. Drugs get better every year, though. But I'm just saying, like, if you pull your groin one time, and then you re-aggravate it, it never healing. You need five. Mine's still fucked up. Yeah, you need five, six months for that thing to heal all the way.
Starting point is 00:52:22 The groin, it's like the hamstring. That's why Halliburton always struggle, because of that hamstring. You can't gauge them that well. When you start feeling good, one little quick twitch, and it's back to day one. Working out with child niggas, I felt like I pulled mine. I might be injured for a while.
Starting point is 00:52:40 That motherfucker hurt every day. Well, guess what? No calling off. See you Monday. See you Monday, buddy. I had to sit out for them hemi workouts. It made me comfortable because he was like, I've never been flexible in my hemis either. I said, okay, cool. Like, what are you on, bro?
Starting point is 00:52:57 Why he do his voice? Why he put you in the Rico? Why he do his voice like that? Y'all, did we record the whole thing? The whole thing. Yeah? I said I never could pause touching my toes because I ain't flexible like that. Why you do the voice like that?
Starting point is 00:53:16 I ain't never been able to do my hammy. He's like, what the fuck, nigga? He got me talking like RuPaul and shit. He's just like my hammies never been flexible before nigga I don't call them hammies
Starting point is 00:53:29 nigga I say hamstrings nigga why he give you the cat voice though and why he say hammies like nigga I don't say hammies nigga I say your hamstrings
Starting point is 00:53:38 respect lord you crazy shout out to the hammies uh Osmo of the West uh you fried the nuggets. Jamal Murray for me.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Okay. Yeah. He got to prove. We need to butt with Jamal Murray. Luka. I mean, Luka. Jokic been holding it on his back, man. Pause.
Starting point is 00:53:59 All year, while y'all was injured, taking days off. He played them every game. I feel like we literally talked the whole season on the morning show about Jokic every day. He literally had no break from our show. I feel like Jamal Murray owe him
Starting point is 00:54:15 to come through. I'm going to go with Aaron Gordon. I think Jamal Murray is going to show up because we've seen it before. I think if Aaron Gordon gets back to playing how he did in the playoffs or everyone, obviously we know he's capable of it. If he's playing at a high level, that makes him a little bit of a problem as a matchup for sure.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I'm going to agree with the Murray. I think he got to play well. Most definitely. They won their best scores for sure. Yo, team, the Clippers. Man, I think Zoo going to hold it down. But shit, James Harden what kind of player
Starting point is 00:54:46 he about to be in this first round is he gonna be PG James Harden or you know what I mean where he facilitating
Starting point is 00:54:53 or Houston Rockets cause the last game I believe or before this he had like 34 points or something crazy like that 35 and 10 yeah
Starting point is 00:55:01 Sean Niggas he can still do it you know what I mean offensively heavy. So, I'm just waiting to see what kind of player he going to be. Cool. For me, it's Kawhi. There we go.
Starting point is 00:55:11 If it's a healthy Kawhi, the Clippers a different team. Obviously, you know what Zubik been doing this year. James Harden has the ability to go off and get 20, 10, and 10. We know he a triple-double waiting to happen. And he can also go for 35. But if it's a healthy Kawhi, we know playoff Kawhi is definitely one of the best players ever. And if they can get a little bit of that Toronto Kawhi,
Starting point is 00:55:35 Clippers might be a scary team. Most definitely, especially at that seed they are now. I believe they have a playing game, correct, between them and the Warriors. Obviously, we recorded this before. This will come out on Monday. But I believe if the winner goes, you know what I'm saying, at that between them and the Warriors? Obviously, we recorded this before. This will come out on Monday. But I believe if the winner goes, you know what I'm saying, at that sixth spot, then the rest goes into the play-in between them and the Warriors. And then the next thing I was going to ask was the Warriors.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Obviously, you know what I'm saying, we ain't doubting Steph. But who's that person on the Warriors that got a show up for them to be some series? Jimmy Butler. Okay. He got to shoot the ball. I mean, Jimmy's driving the ball and he's doing giving up layups he acting like Ben Simmons sometimes
Starting point is 00:56:08 so like Jimmy's super aggressive and he play off Jimmy Warriors the top team yeah he had a highlight the other night where he was literally at the bench like this
Starting point is 00:56:19 and threw that bitch around the middle of the half where I'm like I know you gotta step in damn you gotta take that I actually like the Warriors but quarter. I'm like, I know you got Steph. Damn. You got to take that. I actually like the Warriors, but I just don't know about them. They too up and down for me.
Starting point is 00:56:33 I just don't think they got enough, bro. After Steph and Jimmy, they get quiet offensively. You're praying for Buddy Hill. You're praying for BP. You're praying for Kaminga. In the playoffs, you can't pray. Like, you can't be hoping Draymond hit three threes. You can't.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Like, you got to know. You don't think Kaminga could give him some shit? He can. I'm just saying. Anybody can. But you ain't banking it. Like, we banking Austin Reeves for 20. If he have a bad night, we can go to him and be like, Austin Reeves had a bad night he have a bad night we can go to him
Starting point is 00:57:05 be like Austin Reeves had a bad night we ain't banking no we ain't Kaminga if Kaminga have 20 it's like
Starting point is 00:57:11 Kaminga was hooping but if Kaminga got 8 we like Kaminga was Kaminga like Austin Reeves got 8 we like the fuck is Austin Reeves doing you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:57:21 yeah Buddy Hill got 15 we like damn Buddy Hill was an X Factor. Buddy Hill got six. Okay, Buddy Hill. So they don't got nobody you banking on.
Starting point is 00:57:31 It's just like, whatever. So let's switch it up to the East. Cavaliers. I think I know the answer. I'm going to ask anyway. Oh, well, I mean, y'all got different ones for me. They going to show, they bench going to show something. Okay, you said the bench. Yeah, if they don't go me. They bench going to show something. Okay, you say the bench?
Starting point is 00:57:46 Yeah, if they don't go far, the bench going to give them a little something, bro. Mine's Darius Garland. This whole playoff run is based off Darius Garland. We've seen what Donovan Mitchell can do in the playoffs. Darius Garland been in the playoffs the last couple years. He's not had the Greatest Playoff runs
Starting point is 00:58:07 But for them to beat Boston He gonna have to He got to be on his shit And he got more He got the ability Sure And I expect him to do it
Starting point is 00:58:18 I think this is his year Where he make that leap And show why he one of the Elite guards in the league Most definitely I definitely agree with you On Darius' going point. I'm looking at Evan Mobley. Evan Mobley's been hired at the Pittsburgh Trust all year.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Evan Mobley's going to have to hoop out because, like you said, they're going to play against his championship contender with them Celtics. He's going to have to really, really play good and put pressure on them as well. We know D-Hunt's going to score. We know Diamond's going to score.
Starting point is 00:58:40 DC's going to show up. But I think Evan Mobley's got to make that turn to be one of the best players in the East for them to make a run for sure. Celtics, I don't even think we need to say nothing about them. They just need to be healthy. It'll be built to ask, regardless with them. The Knicks.
Starting point is 00:58:55 Who's the catalyst? I don't know. Everybody, bro. Y'all got to just stay healthy. Okay. Can't nobody go down. I think the only person that they can go down that they'll be cool with is probably
Starting point is 00:59:06 probably Mike Hill oh they can't lose nobody they can't but I think if they lost him they'll be cool hell nah they lose Mike Hill
Starting point is 00:59:17 they gonna be Mike Hill the X Factor yeah Mike Hill Bridges has to play well for the Knicks to win like I love I love that team.
Starting point is 00:59:27 I like OG, though. OG been hooping, so I ain't worried about OG. But OG is that guy. He can get 20. He can get 10. Mike Hill, you need him to be great defensively and offensively. Like, he's going to get the best. He's going to guard the best player. So he got to be great only and offensively. He's going to get the best. He's going to guard
Starting point is 00:59:45 the best player. So he got to be great on both ends. He's the X factor for the team. He's good on offense and he can frustrate some of those
Starting point is 00:59:54 great offensive players they're going to play. Who they got in the first round? Pistons. Yeah, if he can make it tough on Cade Cunningham, he got to be great. He got to make it
Starting point is 01:00:03 tough on Cade. They should be done 4-1. Yeah, they probably should. They should beat the hell out of the Pistons, man. I'm going to go with Cat, man. Cat had a hell of a year. Especially beginning of the year, we spoke very, very highly on Cat.
Starting point is 01:00:20 I know a lot of things took place this season, but we need Cat to get back to that. Obviously, the stats is there, but we need that dominance we seen earlier this season. Because if Cat's playing like that, it's a problem. We know Jalen Brunson going to hoop. We know OG can contribute. But when Cat is on that shit,
Starting point is 01:00:33 it ain't too many people who can fuck with him. And he definitely got to set the tone. Yeah. I feel you. I just don't see it. I guess I'll see first round, but after that, yeah, it could go a couple different ways
Starting point is 01:00:45 for that team even some of the fans first round what it'll be after them it'll be what well it just depends upon how do you go
Starting point is 01:00:50 in a situation they're gonna have to play Boston yeah and then who will Milwaukee play they playing they mean the Pacers
Starting point is 01:00:58 first round I know and then they play Cavaliers we'll be playing the Cavaliers Milwaukee versus the Cavs that's a good one speaking of number four Indiana Pac Patriots, what's up?
Starting point is 01:01:07 What need to happen, B here? Bore me. That's crazy. Tyrese has to be great. That's a fact. Y'all got to let Ben rock. Ben McMather? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:20 I'm not mad at it at all. They got to let him. They legit all just so. They got to let him rock. It's rotations, man. I think that's going to be the key for us. We can't be in love with them bum-ass rotations. If somebody's not contributing, get their ass out the game.
Starting point is 01:01:33 And Jarius Walker has to play. Jarius Walker has been playing great the last couple of weeks because he got a chance to play without being worried about getting pulled out the game. And Benedict Mathers, our X Factor, he's a bucket. He's probably our best scorer outside of Pascal with the ball in his hands. Something's got to happen for sure.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Milwaukee. Giannis. Giannis has to be. He's always great, but he has to. With no Dame, he has to be amazing. He's an amazing player, but now he has to be a triple-double every game. He has to be the point forward and lead every game. He has to be the point forward and lead these guys.
Starting point is 01:02:08 He got to do it all. He's been doing the last couple of games. Yeah. It's got to be a whole playoff series. He got to trust his guys though. You're going to have to
Starting point is 01:02:16 trust them a little bit more. You got to trust them. Yeah, I think that we can win that series but they are coming in hot off a seven-game winning streak. Giannis, like you said, has been doing everything
Starting point is 01:02:23 for that team with no problem. And he's one of the best to ever do it. That's the scariest person to see in the playoffs for sure. And last but not least, the Detroit Pistons. For them to upset the Knicks, man, who got to come alive? I don't know, bro. It's quiet. I'm just glad y'all made the playoffs and turned that city around, man.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Historic year for the Pistons. I'm going to just say, I'm not going to call them the others because I hate when Shaq used to say that. I'm going to say the supporting cast. Yeah. Tobias Harris. The rest of the game.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Tim Hardaway Jr. They got to be good. They got to make shots. They got to play at a high level. They're going to be banking on K. Cuttingham. He's going to get a lot of attention. He's going to get the best defender. So that means Tim Hardaway, Durant, Dern, whatever his name
Starting point is 01:03:10 is, Dern, Lee Beasley. All these dudes got to be good. Tobias Harris, they got to be good. And they got the ability. They've been good all year. That is one person I'm excited to see in the playoffs. Like you said, that playoff defense is different especially the schemes and honing in on can't come to him get out and ball
Starting point is 01:03:28 I don't care if they win or lose if you get out there and hoop out against the Knicks it's gonna be time for some conversations bro he might need a
Starting point is 01:03:34 he might need a shoe damn that'd be hard who? cause you know I love D-Book and D-Book actually
Starting point is 01:03:43 the D-Book one is my favorite hoop shoe right now, but you know how they do. They discontinue people's shit. Yeah. Kay Honeyham, next in line. If y'all had to pick somebody to be next in line for a shoe, who would y'all pick? John Morant. I mean, not John Morant.
Starting point is 01:03:59 Who was I thinking about? I would take, I think Jalen Green. Jalen Green with Adidas? I'm not mad at that. Yeah. You know what? I was having this conversation, but it has nothing to do with NBA. I said Lamar Jackson.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Because I was looking at some of the OG cross trainers and like the old Vicks and stuff like that. And I was just like, Lamar Jackson would have a fire at you. Like if they could lock you in and really get the essence of Lamar Jackson and shoot, people would fuck with that the long way. I think Jalen Green just got to steal a strong core, like a fan base that really rock with him. I think K. Cunningham just next in line.
Starting point is 01:04:35 He got the ability to score. He going to be around for a long time. Most definitely. He going to be consistent for a long time. This K. Cunning, we going to see for the next seven years. And he brought a team that was a basketball city back. Like, Detroit is a basketball town. Prideful town.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Prideful town. What kind of personality he got, though? I mean, you don't hear from him. He just puts his head down and work. He cool. He work. You know people fuck with him. You just puts his head down to work. He cool with his work, but... You know people fuck with him. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:05:09 And Devin Booker got a similar personality. You know what I mean? Yeah, he is reserved. He is reserved, similar personality, but with them not going, things going how they supposed to, I can see them being like... Because the way they doing his shoes anyway. It wasn't like a good
Starting point is 01:05:25 get a book. Send this nigga another pair, bro. He told me he bought a white pair for $52 at shoe carnival. And that's crazy.
Starting point is 01:05:34 It was actually it was a nice all white pair of these books is crazy. So please send my guy a colorway
Starting point is 01:05:43 at least an orange pair or red pair or something. All white hooper shoes and bro. The two lows. But see, my problem with the D-Book situation is, and he addressed it, it's not him because even with the release of his shoe, it was
Starting point is 01:05:58 like in Miami. He couldn't even get them in Phoenix. I know they have weird restrictions with the signatures and stuff, but he got a collection now with the Chevy Blazer, and they got a whole car. It's fire as fuck. That's what I'm saying. Tapping in with T and sending him something, bro,
Starting point is 01:06:10 so he can hoover on the difference. Them is crazy. D-Book is no slander, bro, but them, them all white period. I'm sorry, Mike. Them is mid, bro. Put a color on them. He got some fire color. That be the problem. His PEs are so fucking fire. Yeah, no, no, that's what I'm saying. We want to buy them, bro. He got some fire color. That'd be the problem.
Starting point is 01:06:25 His PEs are so fucking fire. We want to buy it, bro. Them are fire. You see what P.J. got? The multicolors, bro. It's some pips. He got some heat, bro. For a hoop shoe, I rock with it.
Starting point is 01:06:40 Just an all-white. No all-white hoop shoe is fire. Not an all-white phone. Not an all-white. No all-white hoop shoe is fire. Not an all-white foam. Not an all-white Jordan. Not an all-white Barclay. All-white foam. I'm in the dope, man. That's hard.
Starting point is 01:06:52 Yeah, that's it. That's crazy. An all-white foam posse is crazy. It's probably out. I think it is. There is a white foam posse. Yeah, it's quiet, though. Yeah, it's quiet.
Starting point is 01:07:03 You wasn't itching for that? No, but that shoe was real comfortable, though. Yeah, it's quiet. You wasn't itching for that. No, but those shoes real comfortable, though, so. I mean, they did it. They got the comfort, right? All white, all white hoop shoes. That's why I tell y'all, Air Force is the greatest
Starting point is 01:07:14 white ever, bro. Yeah, I ain't never really hooped in white shoes. A white mid, the force is elite, bro. Hooping in a white mid is the choice. You don't have to hoop in it.
Starting point is 01:07:24 I'm just telling y'all. That's an all-white shoe. I think people underrate how hard it is to find an all-white shoe that is just crazy. Honestly, there's no better feeling to get a fresh pair
Starting point is 01:07:35 of white Air Force 1s. It is, bro. It'll change your day around. Yeah, you never wanted an all-white pair of boots. All-white pair of dress shoes. If you had some all-white boots. You know who had some classic all white dress shoes
Starting point is 01:07:46 R.I.P. John Witherspoon Pops Tic Tac Shoes Charlie Wilson I don't put that smell on Charlie Wilson He would never Charlie Wilson for sure He said them Tic Tacs

Starting point is 01:11:43 I ain't even trying to throw shade. I know he was good. I know he was good, but I don't remember playing him in the league. I ain't even trying to throw shade. I know he was good. I know he was good, but I don't remember playing him in the league really, but I remember college. He got busy at Denver for sure. Nah, yeah, he got the biggest deal out of us after them first
Starting point is 01:11:58 four years. Todd was nice. I just don't remember having a game. Because their team was on the west. Me and Brandon was on the East, so we played more times. Yeah, they had a whip, boy. Oh, yeah, they had a squad. Kid Farid.
Starting point is 01:12:11 Yeah, they had a whippy over there for sure. Yeah. They had a squad. I just like the competitive is all about this because everybody ain't taking it too serious,
Starting point is 01:12:19 but I like everybody popping that shit because at the end of the day, y'all was the best of the best in our class and that's the fire shit about it. Yeah, but all that's cute, but nas gotta get some straightening though yeah we got to but brandon out of everybody that's talking he talking the most but like
Starting point is 01:12:32 he didn't really win at all like everybody else played on like winning teams and shit like that he was a pretty much a loser he his whole career. Damn. He was. He was like on bum teams all the time. Yeah, he wasn't He made the playoffs that first year they was a six seed.
Starting point is 01:12:51 After that, he was on bum teams. I was never on bum teams besides I got to Minnesota. After that, every team I was on was quality. Ain't the other lefty
Starting point is 01:13:02 that was wrong when we was kids. They was playing in some little league. Brandon been... He out there really playing basketball again. Hitting all these tournaments and shit. I said, oh, shit. He trying to wheel himself back in shape.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Shit did, man. Shit did, man. And Gil been having me dying because... You know what I'm saying? BCB, he said, show me these balls they playing against. Hey, Gil. Hey, Gil. Because you would what I'm saying, BCB, he said, show me these Bubs they playing against. Hey, Bubs. Hey, Gil. Hey, Gil.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Because you would do a lot of talking too, Gil. Yeah. Now I'm about to call your ass out. Yeah. I'm going to beat, I'm going to beat, I'm going to blow, first I'm going to beat Gil last. Then I'm going to beat Brandon Gil. You're going to be my warm-up game.
Starting point is 01:13:40 I know that knee don't work, so I ain't got to do too much. Then I'm going to beat Brandon. Matter of fact, Dre, I told him Dre could beat him because he was like, ain't nobody over 40. I don't know how Gil is,
Starting point is 01:13:51 whatever. I was like, I got him. They run the same age. Yeah, I was like, Andre can beat him. I know Andre can beat Gil right now. Boy, that's going to be
Starting point is 01:13:58 a hell of a game, boy. Gil can't move, for real. I don't know, bro. We seen the tape. Dre called him out, too. Dre was like, we played in the big three, bro. Nah don't know, bro. We seen the tape. Dre called him out, too. Dre was like, we played in the big three, bro. Nah, I mean, respect.
Starting point is 01:14:09 You know. We ain't saying Dre. I'm talking about right now. We a rock with the home team. I'm rocking. I'm rolling. You know what I mean? If need be.
Starting point is 01:14:17 You know, always. If need be. What I'm saying, I... Damn it. Hold on. I'm rolling. Dre will be.
Starting point is 01:14:23 I'm rolling. Be here for the win because he just had a matchup with Ayo. Yeah, and I mean, you're older than, what's his name? And he a year older than Gil. And I'm taking Ayo.
Starting point is 01:14:31 Ayo is in better shape than Gil. Yes. But Gil be playing so much, bro. No, he don't. Gil do not play. I think Gil is playing, bro. He baiting him. He pulling a fast one, bro.
Starting point is 01:14:43 Man, I seen that knee. I played Gil when he had number nine. I know seen that knee. I played Gil when he had number nine. I played Gil when he was in Orlando. I was very comfortable. I'm rolling, but I'm saying Gil got enough money to afford that drug to go on your knee. We ain't never questioned his money.
Starting point is 01:14:59 That'll give you a good 40 minutes. I don't think Gil got enough money. I don't think Gil got enough money. I I don't think Gil got it no more. Dre, that's the difference. I don't want them cheating against you, Dre. They didn't cheat. We need a PD test before the game.
Starting point is 01:15:13 The only one that really got it over there still is like Rashawn McCants. I wouldn't tell nobody to play him. Yeah, Rashawn is. Yeah, because when he was in the big three, he was getting active. Yeah, he was. Yeah, they showed the highest in him and they going back and forth. Rashawn was on the yard at Rikers. For sure. Yeah, because when he was in the big three, he was active. Yeah, he was. Yeah, they showed the highest in him, and they going back and forth. Yeah. Rashad was on the yard at Rikers.
Starting point is 01:15:28 For sure. Yeah. He was on the yard at Rikers. Rest of them over there. Nick Young the coach now. He don't hoop no more. He quit every time. That's my dog.
Starting point is 01:15:37 Coach Swaggy. He do. I just, I don't know, but I think they can still hoop. For sure. This type shit. He probably still can get buckets, but. Yeah, one-on-one. Yeah, I guess that's his.
Starting point is 01:15:48 That's why I was like, before you said J.R. Smith, no, these one-on-ones, that's different, bro. That's skill for skill. Yeah, Nick Young was nasty. Yeah, so that's why I'm like, niggas like him and shit. Who else was cold in one-on-one? And they probably winning the ones between Nick and J.R. Smith. That's a dream matchup for me. It's two of my favorite players, but who winning that? Probably J And they probably won the ones between Nick and J.R. Smith. That's a dream matchup for me.
Starting point is 01:16:05 It's two of my favorite players. But who won in that? Probably J.R. I'm going to go with J.R. I don't know. Nick Young was cold. That'd be a hell of a game. It would, but I think Nick is going to settle for the J.
Starting point is 01:16:17 J.R. is going to shoot a lot of motherfuckers, too. It ain't going to be no drop. It's going to be all pullback threes. But I think J.R. gives more effort on defense. And I think J.R. beat Nick off the dribble and punch on his ass. Even though Nick Young is a freak athlete, for sure. That's very underrated about his game, by the way. He was a freak athlete coming up.
Starting point is 01:16:37 But his game is way more chill than J.R.'s, bro. J.R. going to the hole and windmilling under the rim, bro. That'd be a great matchup, man. That'd be a hell of a matchup. That's something I'd see. I would honestly rather see that than Beasley and Lance. I just seen,
Starting point is 01:16:53 but I'll never forget that Christian Day game, bro, when Nick Young was icing on Bron and them, bro. That's why I was like, yeah, if he can do that against them, bro, JR might have a tough time.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Nick Young was on it, though. Nah, he could score that bitch. There's a lot of one-on-one players doing the league that was, really didn't look like they can get 30 a night, but on that one-on-one shit, it's an open gym.
Starting point is 01:17:12 Mm-hmm. They'd be the best nigga out there. Somebody brought up Monta Ellis recently. I said, yeah, Monta Ellis is somebody a lot of people would not want them runs with, especially in his prime.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Yeah. I remember I seen that nigga all the way back when he was in high school, bro. Scored 52 in the AAU game. All to know that this nigga averaged 50 in high school. He's so fast. This nigga averaged 50 in high school.
Starting point is 01:17:32 You want to hear something funny that'll make y'all laugh? You know how you do your NBA comp? I had my interview, right? And you do the draft and interview process. They was like, who you think you play like? It's so funny. I was like, yeah, I'm like a Lou Williams and a Monte Ellis
Starting point is 01:17:46 type of player. Hey, that's some shit. Why the fuck would I compare myself to these two niggas? Crash, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:53 I was like, why am I saying, all right, Lou is a year older than me. Lou, yeah, and Monte, nigga.
Starting point is 01:17:59 And Monte a week older than me. I'm talking about Monte, Ellis, Lou. It's how long them niggas in the league. Yeah, that's crazy.

Yeah, that's crazy.

Starting point is 01:18:18 In high school, I mean, in college I was. Yes. For sure, Monte. But I'm like, when I met him, he's like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:18:24 nigga, I'm 38. I'm like, what I met him, he's like, yeah, nigga, I'm 38. I'm like, what the fuck, nigga, I'm 36. What the fuck? My player cop is somebody
Starting point is 01:18:31 in my same period. Nah, for real. The same age as me? Yeah, both of them shit. Lou 05. I thought Monte was 04,
Starting point is 01:18:39 but he might be 05 too. JR is 04. They the same year. Yeah. That's a hell of a comparison though. But to say that and not realize when you say it.
Starting point is 01:18:48 Yeah, I just played in high school together. Yeah, nigga. Like, when I thought about it like after it was over like years later, I'm like, damn, these niggas
