Or you think that's going to be the first one broken? I'm saying harder for LeBron to break LeBron's record. Yeah, it's harder to break LeBron because you gotta be so healthy
Starting point is 00:30:25 for 20 plus years. Bro. And average and kill every year. Kalen Clark, you can, somebody can do that. It's the next, Juju might be able to break it. The next Bunny's coming to do that,

Juju getting 30 points or 30 shots lets me know that she's going to try to get it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:30:46 So she might be able to get that. That Kaitlyn Clark shit's so crazy. As much as everybody's upset about her getting more loved in South Carolina going undefeated two years in a row, which I think is also a little crazy as well, hey, man, that game was rocking.
Starting point is 00:31:02 They put every marketing employee into her. I don't know why people thought she was going back to school. What Nike's about to do for her next year, it's about to be insane. I'm going to buy her shoes. She's premier, bro. She's going to get one. Yeah, for sure. Shout out to Don Staley for sure. Great accomplishment, but that's just
Starting point is 00:31:17 different, bro. It's just different. Bad timing. That's all. It's like when you great for so long, they get tired of giving you real accomplishments. It's like LeBron could have been the MVP every year, but you know, we pick other niggas because it's just the year. But no, no, no. Them going undefeated two years is crazy. No, that's fire, bro.
Starting point is 00:31:34 But none of her players is Caitlyn. I agree. You know what I'm saying? They got good teams. Exactly. Like, she run that, they damn near O'Kill, bro.

Starting point is 00:32:27 work but what's crazy is that game sponsorship for Kaylin Clark before she got drafted is fire they're like no
Starting point is 00:32:32 you're gonna be an Indiana yeah no question like she ready that's elite temper I love that she's ready

Potter Puff Lee, bro. You know what's crazy, though? When you're not used to playing with other good players, I'm not saying the girls at Iowa are not that good,

Starting point is 00:33:52 I think what helps is people not understanding, like, Aaliyah Boston is one of those generational talents too. Yeah. So that's going to make life easier for her off the roof. They pick and roll going to dominate the WNBA the next four or five years once they figure it out. Yeah. Hopefully.

Starting point is 00:36:01 was the most ridiculous shit I've ever seen in my life. That's right. There was Hoover the Lafayette Square, bro. With two Fisher-Price courts. Niggas running basketballs. Bro, they play in a rectangle court.
Starting point is 00:36:10 The girls league? Yes, bro. They had to be on the show one day. Are you serious? That's when the lady, the, uh, running. I think I remember you saying that.

Starting point is 00:37:21 Oh, they got the cheeks out? Yeah, wowing. That's tough. That's a tough. That's the way Gilbert Rita said the WNBA should play. Yeah. Him getting off that allegation is crazy to me. That's what made me pay attention to that shit.
Starting point is 00:37:32 The wild bag, that been going on. That's going to be a tough act to follow. That's just a nasty league. I want to know the commissioner. Because what type of time are you on, nigga? Yeah. WNBA can't do that. Nah.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Nah, these girls really cold now, though. So. Yeah. It's that March time. We about to get real basketball. All the conference tournaments is wrapping up. I know the men's basketball tournament is going to be a little different this year. Because everybody is like kind of middle of the pack.
Starting point is 00:38:00 You got a couple good teams. But it's going to be wild. But the women's shit going to be. Women's shit going to be fire as normal. It's going to be crazy this year because you got a whole lot of different teams that a lot of people rooting for this year. Because shout out to LSU. Like Angel Reese getting that player of the year in the SEC is a really big
Starting point is 00:38:13 deal because that conference is really really fire. And you got Kaelin Clark. You got all the other different teams. Shout out to Flo. I like little Flo. I'm excited to see that run. If Kaelin Clark can make a run like she did last year. Which is very impressive that niggas don't like giving credit to. I understand why, but hey, her team, like you said,
Starting point is 00:38:33 she is not playing with people. They will be accountants, nurses, doctors. Their team does not have professionals. She really wrecking shit by herself. I'm excited to see this March Madness this year. Me too. Who y'all got in the boys, though? As much as I hate to say this, I would really like to see this March Madness this year. Me too. Who y'all got in the boys, though? As much as I hate to say this,
Starting point is 00:38:47 I would really like to see Kentucky do something just off the strength of how I fucking robbed it with him. I ain't going to lie. I got Indiana State making it to the Sweet 16. Shout out to Ryan. Going crazy. Y'all make it to the Sweet 16. They a good team.
Starting point is 00:38:58 You see that big man, what they call him? They tag this in all their posts. Yeah. Baby Joker, yeah, he nice. Yeah, he is nice. Now, shout out to Lil' Ron. I hope they do well, though. But y'all know how I'm rocking with Lil' Rob.
Starting point is 00:39:08 You feel me? They getting that Ron Harrell smut off your name, bro. You're the only person pushing that propaganda. Yeah, bro. Y'all keep now niggas as fans and shit. That's how it go. But I hope they, you feel me, do their thing. That's nigga.
Starting point is 00:39:23 And Marie Shepard being lottery picks is fire to me still. I don't want to talk about it, but I fucking, I fuck with that. Marie Shepard, I fuck with it too. Team T kid. Facts. For a second. Speaking of March Madness, and we talking about a lot of different stuff in college basketball,
Starting point is 00:39:38 I think the most fucked up part about it is they don't get that same energy like y'all had because of the commentary. And like you start to see it now around with the NBA and stuff. The different commentary make the game more inviting, more like I want to tap in with, especially at that level.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Them niggas don't get to have Dick Vatel no more. Nah, that ain't... J. Bill is the only dude I can listen to and I kind of like... Yeah. I get that feeling for us. Damn, remind me of old times. Everybody else, I don't really... I fuck with J.B. for sure. get that feeling for us. Like, damn, remind me of old times. Everybody else, I don't really.
Starting point is 00:40:07 I fuck with JB for sure. He tapped in for real. But I feel like that's what's hurting the college game as much as it is talking about star power. It's just like, no, we don't have the same energy around it. They made them games.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Them coaches, as much as they shouldn't got as much credit as they got, they made those games feel like that. Now it's kind of like when the men's tournament come, people are like, all right, we want to see these upsets,
Starting point is 00:40:25 but after that, we don't really give a fuck. I'm ready to see the small school with the star-studded player that pushes way up in the draft. Yeah. Throughout the tournament. That's probably what I'm most excited to see. Who? Baylor got a kid.
Starting point is 00:40:42 I can't remember his name. He's decent. There's a couple of them out there I have to really tap in back to it but I like seeing that more cause I don't
Starting point is 00:40:50 if North Carolina ain't winning this shit I don't be giving a fuck well but I'm worried I like seeing the John Morant type motherfuckers come through
Starting point is 00:40:56 and make some noise make a name for themselves cause that shit will be panning out for real yeah we I think we desperately need that
Starting point is 00:41:04 especially with like OTE going crazy and like some of these amateur levels going super crazy so that shit will be panning out for real. It do. Yeah, I think we desperately need that. Especially with like OTE going crazy and like some of these amateur levels going super crazy. We need more of those players in college to get that type of stardom
Starting point is 00:41:13 because it is beneficial to be in those situations. But, shit, Jamar Crawford, shout out, brought up a really valid point. I seen y'all talking about it,
Starting point is 00:41:20 about how AU is fucked up and mostly because of parents. Parents are the worst. The absolute worst. I hate them. And I'd be in a crowd with them. You're the parents. It's bullshit.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Nah, yeah, that ass, it's the worst shit ever, bro. And these kids got, like, all these fake ass, like, I don't know. Maybe, yo, I think it's when the coach tells you some shit, and it's that car ride home that your mom or daddy is telling you, like, don't worry, the coach is hating or you better than this kid. It's favoritism. It's politics. Your son fucking sucks. Niggas don't be wanting to say that, bitch, but your son is trash.
Starting point is 00:41:59 And that's why these kids don't work, bro. You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify. The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain. This is the struggle. This is the thing that's in front of me. You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.

Starting point is 00:46:18 on Apple podcast. I think it's so many people that can listen to it because everybody in it for themselves. Coaching high school, you start seeing like... When you coach high school basketball,
Starting point is 00:46:40 you don't make no real money. You ain't making no money. You spend way more time than you with anything. You really just care about the kids. So to see some of the kids, maybe they don't make no real money. Like, you ain't making no money. You spend way more time than you with anything. You really just care about the kids. So to see some of the kids, like, maybe they don't work as hard, they don't care as much, but then when they go home, their parents are telling them something different
Starting point is 00:46:54 than what you telling them. And then you start thinking, like, bro, everything you want to do or anything you ever did, we done it, and we did it this way, and y'all got somebody who's never done it to any kind of level telling y'all to do or anything you ever did, we done it and we did it this way and y'all got somebody who's never done it to any kind of level telling y'all to do it this way. And if y'all not succeeding
Starting point is 00:47:11 when y'all do it your own way, it's crazy to me. It's crazy. And it sucks because the kids, you naturally going to listen to your parent, bro. Facts.
Starting point is 00:47:23 It's just natural, bro. It don't even be the parents. It be like the other people who can benefit off of you. So let's say it's an AAU coach or an agent or anybody. They're going to tell you whatever you want to hear to get you where they need you. But once
Starting point is 00:47:38 they get you where they need you, and you might not be beneficial to them, they're just going to throw you off to the wayside. Seen that happen for years, bro. Come on. That's why I try to teach the kids at Pike, like, if you're going
Starting point is 00:47:48 to play at AAU, play for a team where you can actually play and learn, but you know it's a team that wants you. Like, I'm trying to help you get better.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Not a, ain't nothing wrong with playing for the biggest AAU teams, but if you don't get to play that much or coach ain't really teaching you nothing,
Starting point is 00:48:03 they only want you because you might have a name or this, whatever. And then, when they done with you, you don't get to play that much or coach ain't really teaching you nothing, they only want you because you might have a name or this, whatever. Yeah. And then when they done with you, you ain't helping them. They going to talk shit about you. Yeah. Kick your ass to the curb. Because a lot of you niggas only making the team is because your cousin
Starting point is 00:48:16 that's cold, he just poured in a motherfucker. But your mom and them got money. So they just bring you along for the ride. Yeah. I need y'all to start understanding that, too. Shout out to Romeo and Dear DeRozan. It be a lot of shit like that happening, bro. That's a fact.
Starting point is 00:48:29 And I seen something fire. Tyrese Rice said this on Twitter. He was just like, hey, why are we doing AU announcements? Bro, just go hoop. That's crazy. Everything gets to graphic now. It's just like, nigga,
Starting point is 00:48:39 can y'all just go fucking hoop? Y'all spend more time making edits, and I've never seen so many 10-point highlight reels in my life. Nigga, go get a bucket. Yeah. Yeah. But that's the reason
Starting point is 00:48:51 AAU basketball is kind of like watered down. Like, that's why I can't really watch it and believe it. Because it's like, I think Gilbert Arenas made a valid point. It's so many AAU teams. Like, when I first started playing AAU,
Starting point is 00:49:06 Indie Heat was the only real AAU team we had in Indianapolis. Like, they went to go play on the biggest circuit or whatever. Them and the Rim Rattlers.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Yeah, but the Rim Rattlers was like, when we was young. Yeah. You know what I mean? But I'm saying like, when you got to high school,
Starting point is 00:49:20 it was like, you played for Speeds Indie Heat, they was the traveling team. Nah, right, absolutely. Like, if you played on, like, I played on No Excus Indie Heat, they was the traveling team. Nah, right, absolutely. Like, if you played on, like, I played on No Excuses. We was like a local AAU team,
Starting point is 00:49:29 but we ain't go to the big time. We ain't go to Vegas. We ain't do that. If we did, we did it on our own. Right. Like, now, every team is,
Starting point is 00:49:40 it's a million teams. If you got a check, all you need is a sponsor. You got a million teams, so people think I play AAU, and it's like, bro, you playing on this team that ain't really nothing. Like, your pop started it or your cousin or your uncle or whoever. And it's like, bro, just get better. Very bad.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Just get better. Like, hooping at AAU. Bro, get in the gym and just work on your skills. I've seen so many players go play in so many tournaments where they on a good AAU team or on an AAU team. They don't get in that much, but they on an AAU team, walk around with the team tee, book bags, all this, and they never got any better. It's like, get better.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Like, hoop, practice. I think that's the biggest loss of art with this shit. It's like, fuck all the trainers, fuck all these Instagram videos, go fucking hoot. And what's so crazy is that I be getting on
Starting point is 00:50:32 not even my kids, just kids that I, you know, help raise and shit like, y'all niggas got way more access than we did to a gym.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Niggas used to love when niggas can get into that YMCA. That was a, damn, we get to go to the Y, we getas used to love when niggas could get into that YMCA. That was a, damn, we get to go to the wild. We get to go to walk-ins today. Niggas was outside hooping on the
Starting point is 00:50:51 Con Creek. Nigga, that's why most of these niggas' niggas' niggas is shredded. Facts. Bodies fucked up, bro, because niggas played outside in their friend's backyard.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Niggas, y'all don't even go do that no more, nigga. Facts. Bobby asked me to go over to his little homeboy house this weekend. They was hooping in the backyard, little markets. I'm like, damn, that no more, nigga. Facts. Bobby asked me to go over his little homeboy house this weekend. They was hooping in the backyard, a little market.
Starting point is 00:51:07 I'm like, damn, that's tight, bro. Facts. Like, I'm glad you still want to do that without me even having to say something to you. Because I don't preach that shit no more, bro. Either you going to do it or you don't, bro. My last thing about it, just, man, listen to people that really care about you. Don't let people use you because they'll use you today. Use you up.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Yeah. Like, that's what people do, bro. If you beneficial for them, they'll rock with you. Until you not, they'll throw you by the wayside. I seen so many kids play on AAU teams growing up, then they ain't grow no more. You know what I mean? Or they ain't do nothing then.
Starting point is 00:51:42 That peak out is crazy. Yeah, you like like who you play for you don't play with that squad no more nah then they got a kid from Texas now or picked up a kid from Jersey or something crazy you be like damn that's messed up I always love when the kid sucks
Starting point is 00:51:58 and then grow up to be great yeah me too that's my favorite kid I love that sad ass kid that grow up and be great because when when you cold in the sixth grade, that's a lot of pressure to be a boy. Being the coldest 12, 13-year-old in the nation means absolutely nothing if you're the same height as 16. And no disrespect, what I swear to God,
Starting point is 00:52:15 I feel to that. Seventh Woods, I thought you was the next, not LeBron, I just thought you was the next NBA great, bro. You have the greatest middle school highlight tape of all time. He definitely does. Seventh Woods. Eighth, ninth grade mixtape. It's insane.

Them Celtics niggas is playing perfect basketball, bro. I thought Boston could win it. Y'all know I love Jason Tatum. He's one of my favorite players.
