I've never, ever seen a team like that running it back-to-back
Starting point is 00:19:02 with two different squads. I'm going to ask you this question. Which one was crazier? The first one or the second one? First one. Even crazier than the second one? Because of Gordon's last shot. It still gets played today, bro.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Yeah, I thought he hit that shit. Like, real shit. You know, we was in the building. Oh, yeah. I was at the game. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We was there, bro. So that's, for me,
Starting point is 00:19:26 I think that run. And then I fuck with it because that run helped him. He was not a lottery pick at the beginning of that year. Hell no. And that pushed him all the way into whatever. What did he go? Nine or 11 or something like that? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:19:41 So that's my number one. I mean, Miller was a dog out the gate, but they had, they wasn't, they started off bad too. But yeah, that brother run. Gordon Hayward. Yeah, bro. It's number one. That shot is crazy still,
Starting point is 00:19:51 bro. That's the greatest miss ever in college basketball. And it's crazy. Cause that screen, man, Howard said was illegal as fuck. He didn't even tackle buddy, but I was fucking with it.
Starting point is 00:19:59 I was at that game. I popped my tickets to that game. I was still in road at both at the time. And like nobody from Duke around us said shit to that buzzer when it went off. That was one of the crazy games. Kyle Singler was crazy too.
Starting point is 00:20:08 I mean, you will assume Kyle Singler, but that, please. He's amazing, bro. He's amazing. Most memorable shot
Starting point is 00:20:18 for me is when dude from Villanova hit that shot. That's one of the coldest moments ever in NCAA history. After the Marcus three. Man, what?
Starting point is 00:20:29 To pull up for three to win it? What's his name? Chris Jenkins? Yeah, here we go. Didn't Dante hit a big shot too? I think Dante hit a big shot too. But that game.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Tate might have hit a game winner. That was a big shot though, bro. Hell yeah, bro. That was a big shot, though, bro. Hell yeah, bro. That was a big shot. Especially after the shot that was already hit to top. This is crazy. Yeah. For game, nigga.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Pow. That's crazy. A walk-off three for the national championship. That is fucking crazy, bro. Nah, but I fuck with that. That was cold for the Mario Chalmers, too. You know what's crazy? People love D-Rose so much that we don't talk about that clip.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Because that's one of the coldest, marshmattest moments. And we don't give a fuck because it was against Derrick Rose. Mario Chalmers did his thing. That was a big, big shock. Speaking of runs, while he pulling up that clip, you talk about that melee, people don't talk about this enough. What D-Wade did to Marquette in the tournament is absolutely insane, too. D-Wade went crazy.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Triple dub. Bro, he was balling in the tournament. He became a household name after that. D-Wade won the deal? Yeah. This is crazy. Smack that bitch. Good shot, too. I was pissed. Everybody was mad. I don't know why I was pissed. I was in college that time.
Starting point is 00:21:46 I think I was just pissed Everybody was mad. I don't know why I was pissed. I was in college that time. I think I was just pissed because Kansas had... Like, Kansas is Kansas. Yeah. But Daryl and Arthur was raw 25. Yeah, but I'm saying, like, Memphis,
Starting point is 00:21:57 I just felt like they was for the people. Like, they was hood. They was us. Joy, CDR. He got his jersey retired recently, too. Shout out to my dog.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Niggas was was We weren't Kansas We was Memphis bro I was in college So I wasn't None of these niggas But I just didn't Like I was just so used to

Starting point is 00:23:15 Like For real I really was influenced by them I wore a t-shirt I wore my socks like Mello I wore a big t-shirt Cause of them And Celine Stoudemire.
Starting point is 00:23:25 It was crazy how college people used to influence you. Nah, that's a fact. It's not like that now. Nah. It's because they're too accessible.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah, I don't think kids look at college players and like, damn, I want to be like that or wear that number. That's a good question. I've never heard a kid, they go straight to the league.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Straight league. I've never heard, in this generation, never heard a youngster say they want to be Adam Morrison or somebody like that. Yeah, or...
Starting point is 00:23:50 You saying Keith Langford and Delonte West, you know what I mean? I don't know if Keith Langford made it to the league, but Delonte West wasn't no big, big name. He just fucked with the swag
Starting point is 00:23:58 and he was cold. I don't know no cold college player that ain't really making a run in the NBA that kids are just locking in with. No, even now, it don't even sound like there player that ain't really making a run in the NBA that kids are just locking in with. No, even now, it don't even sound like there's the same excitement around it.
Starting point is 00:24:09 It's like our age grouping up, love March Madness, all the alumni shit, but kids, they don't give a fuck about that. They tap in with O.T. They go by she like, oh, it's in the heartbeat. Don't give a damn about that 2-15 upset. Because I feel like Jeremiah Fear is supposed to have fans. He probably do got fans because he was a young high schooler that people probably watched. But I'm just saying how I fell in love with him.
Starting point is 00:24:30 They don't got no game either. They don't have no video game either. We had March Madness. So on the way back. We had March Madness. They're working on to bring it back. They got into it last year. I mean, that'd be hard, but.
Starting point is 00:24:38 I was just too much of a fan of college athletes. Like even Iverson before he got to the league. Come on, bro. And the 11s. And the carton concours and like even them Georgetown jerseys and shit. And I could just keep going on and on about college. I was more of a college fan than I was an NBA fan. I had one NBA jersey.
Starting point is 00:24:54 That was Penny Hardaway. Damn, which one? It had the blue one, Magic. Sky blue. Light blue, whatever. Yeah. I watched both. I just love college basketball because it's just the game, too, bro. You could build your own school. Yeah. I watch both. I just love college basketball
Starting point is 00:25:05 because it's just the game too, bro. You could build your own school. Yeah. You know what I mean? Cheating, taking Alabama A&M all the way to the championship.
Starting point is 00:25:12 But I could just keep going on and on about players. Even when I was younger, I wasn't a Fab Five dude. That's too old. Yeah, I didn't watch then.
Starting point is 00:25:23 But right after Iverson came, then I used to watch Ed Cota, and then I'm like, damn, I didn't watch then. But right after Iverson came, then I used to watch Ed Cota. And then I'm like, damn, I want to go to Carolina. I used to watch, I can't remember his name, and I met him. Vince Carter, Antoine Jamison. I used to play with them on March Madness.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Who was the fat point guard from UConn? Khalid El-Amin. Khalid El-Amin. I used to look at him. Ben Gordon. Ben Gordon used to hoop in the 19s. I used to be like, damn. Yeah, Rudy Gay. I fucked with Rudy at Ben Gordon. Ben Gordon used to hoop in the 19s. I used to be like, damn. Yeah, Rudy Gay.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I fucked with Rudy Gay. Legend. Like, all them dudes. I used to be watching the McDonald's game. My buddy going up. Damn. Yeah. Like, when Steve Francis was at Maryland on March Madness, he was the coldest.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Bro, what? Elite. My dad loved college basketball. He used to love a house. He used to like Michael Ray and Scootie P. I remember watching him kill. People wouldn't know who Scootie P was. That nigga was a dog.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Yeah. He was. And Michael Ray was one of the underinn. I remember watching him kill. People wouldn't know who Scootie Pinn was. That nigga was a dog. Yeah, he was. And Michael Ray was one of the underrated players in the NBA, too. Steve Francis was so nasty in Maryland. Like, I used to watch him. I used to even watch, you said, Nick Collison, Kirk Heinrich. Yeah, Juan Dixon, too. What was the Juan Dixon was nice. Juan Dixon was pretty.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Who was the crash out? Hold on. What's my boy? I met him in L.A. No, no, no. The white boy. Steve Blake. Steve Blake. Yeah, he's the only guy I met him in L.A. No, no, no. The white boy. Steve Blake. Steve Blake.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Yeah. Steve Blake. But they had a white dude. Hey, can you go to the Maryland team back when they had Steve Blake and Juan Dixon? They had a white dude. I think he was like number 33. He was cool, too. He damn near was a lefty.
Starting point is 00:26:37 So, 2000, 2001, maybe. Yeah, he damn near was a lefty. He ain't make it to the league, but I used to fuck with him on the game, too. Like, he was cool. When his name pop up, I'm to the league, but I used to fuck with him on the game too. Like, it was cool. When his name pop up, I'm going to be hyped because I used to fuck with him on the game. I used to fuck with a boy from NC State to the lefty wing.

Starting point is 00:27:01 Julius Hodge. Julius Hodge, for sure. You said he was white? Yeah. Danny Miller? Nah, just name something white. Everybody else is black.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Nah, maybe it's a little bit after that. Matt Slanks? Nah, maybe he'll, a couple years later then. Terrence Morris? Nah, he's black a couple years later.
Starting point is 00:27:16 He might have just played with Ron. Ron, Cephas. Yeah. These are all niggas. Yeah. I think his name started with an M,
Starting point is 00:27:23 like Mac. It's Like 2000? Yeah, go like 2003. Oh, three. That's crazy, man. How that established a state with us, man. Like we looked forward
Starting point is 00:27:34 to that shit. And people made a name off that time period. And even if you didn't make it nowhere, you would steal somebody because you killed in the tournament.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Yo, kids don't know about like that. Nah, hell nah. Y'all going through the list. Will Bowers. Go 80, oh five. Shit. Shit, kids don't know about like that. Nah, hell nah. Y'all going through the list. Will Bowers. Go 80, 05.

Man, go to the 2000. Hope you're doing well, Dave. You caught a shot. Is that your favorite highlight? You can do 2000.
Starting point is 00:28:12 That's the 2000, 2001. Let's do the 0-2. I'm going to find it. Don't worry about it. Because that's a crazy highlight, when I dunked on Dave Neal. You know why? I don't like that guy.
Starting point is 00:28:20 I don't care. But the whole game, he was talking shit. It was a senior night. So he's talking crazy. Like, you know, it was one of the better teams in the country at that time.
Starting point is 00:28:32 But they had like our number a little bit. Like we never played good against Maryland. So to start the game, he was playing good. It was senior night. He was having a moment.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I ain't gonna lie, he was playing good as fuck. And he was like a fat chubby. No offense. He just wasn't a hoop. Like you don gonna lie, he was playing good as fuck and he was like a fat, chubby, no offense, he just wasn't a hoop, like, you don't think of him as a hooper.
Starting point is 00:28:48 So he was having a good night and he was taking charges the whole game. Uh-oh. You know what I mean? He step in, he take a charge and we like,
Starting point is 00:28:56 man, he undercutting us and shit. So when I ripped baseline and went and I punched on him, I'm like, yeah, bitch, and I started going crazy
Starting point is 00:29:03 and shit and his game was fucked up after that. When I tell you he was having a moment on senior night, I'm like, yeah, bitch. And I started going crazy and shit. And his game was fucked up after that. When I tell you he was having a moment on senior night, I'm telling you he probably had 12 in the first six, eight minutes. It was wild. And I punched on him. It was a wrap.
Starting point is 00:29:17 You dunking on him on his senior night is crazy. Yeah, fucked up his senior night. Fuck Maryland. The university, not the state, but... That's a... Even though they in the Big Ten now.
Starting point is 00:29:32 What's up, man? Even though I like y'all young freshmen on that team. Yeah, he nice, but still, fuck y'all. My boy Jeff Green was called, too,

Starting point is 00:29:56 Speaking of college basketball, all you got to do, head coach, West Virginia, Darien DeVries, wherever that is. He's from the Midwest. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:30:04 One of your boys just wrote me, bro, so hopefully, you know, hopefully you come in and do what you're from the Midwest you know what I'm saying one of your boys just wrote me bro so hopefully you know hopefully you come in and do what you're supposed to you know what I'm saying good luck to you

Starting point is 00:30:17 money all that money involved now so shit somebody gotta go damn that's what it is for real bro it wasn't Matt Hahn, was it?
Starting point is 00:30:26 Don't worry, bro. I'm looking at it. As you're looking at it, I'm looking at it. He's just trying to fight his name. He didn't play there from 1998 to 2007. He didn't go through every team since Prohibition to try to fight this player to see. Man, I swear to God,
Starting point is 00:30:41 when I see him, I'm going to say it. Oh, boy, just... Why he doing that a boy just put his name in the portal who Gabe Cubs look Indiana
Starting point is 00:30:51 Indiana's like a job that you it's a really good job with harsh critics right I mean that's any job but like nobody
Starting point is 00:31:00 I shouldn't say nobody they can get players but it's not an exciting place to play. Mm. You don't get your name on the back of your jersey. The crowd's gonna be good.
Starting point is 00:31:13 School's lit. But it's just not, it haven't caught up with the times. Yeah. It's still like nostalgia. Everything about the Hoosiers is like nostalgia.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Like, Bobby Knight, we still wear candy canes. We still, Indiana on your chest, fuck the name on the back. Yeah. Like, Bobby Knight, we still wear candy canes. We still Indiana on your chest. Fuck the name on the back. Well, these kids don't give a damn about that at all. I want to get paid, and I want my name on the back. I want to be lit.
Starting point is 00:31:34 And you have to have a coach that's with the Toms. Yeah. But they never speed up with the Toms. Indiana, they still stuck in Hoosiers. It's tradition over everything there. Like, they canceled their Fear of God jerseys this year. Nah,
Starting point is 00:31:46 we not wearing that shit. That's ass, bro. And they have one of the best Adidas programs and they can't even fully use it because they're traditional. Like,
Starting point is 00:31:54 we not going to sauce it up. I thought Woody was getting a blend of that though. I guess not. Nah, they don't sauce it up enough. They're like,
Starting point is 00:32:02 y'all can get money but y'all don't sauce it. Y'all don't make it appealing for kids that want to go there. Even when I was getting recruited, I didn't want to go to IU. Kevin Sampson
Starting point is 00:32:14 was dope. But still, when I went to the school, the school fun is hell. Boy, you know you're in Georgia. Yeah, the school fun is hell, but Kevin Simpson made it cool. I ain't gonna lie. I'm shocked.

Starting point is 00:32:44 He brought a good attitude and a vibe to it where you like, look at Houston. Who the fuck was going to Houston until Kevin Sampson got there? Nah, it's true. They wouldn't have lived since 5 Slimma Jimma. Now Houston, who was going to Houston before Kevin Sampson
Starting point is 00:32:59 got there? It may not have been no top, but Houston had something to give. But it was a place for a lot of transfer. It had nothing to give but it was a place for a lot of transfers it had nothing to give it was a transfer school I'm in Houston now you going to IU
Starting point is 00:33:10 them kids like damn this is Bloomington, Indiana nah but I'm saying like before Kevin Simpson getting there they got a top

Starting point is 00:43:02 that is tough in your lifestyle nigga what like it was crazy for you to be able a month that that is tough in your lifestyle what like yeah it was crazy but you'd be able to manage that though is because that was what i needed you know when my parents be like yo you don't need much yo that wasn't like including my bills and shit so it was like yo just for you to spend like three thousand every month you just go out get some you know buy some shoes get some clothes whatever you want to do
Starting point is 00:43:26 I'm like alright that shit started like hold on I be eight because you was in Atlanta now if you was in Utah you probably been different luckily my rookie year I had great bets so I never had to pay for
Starting point is 00:43:42 nothing like if I went out to the club if I wanted clothes, they gave me they per diem, so it wasn't enough for me to buy shoes, and I wore Nike shit all the time. Like, they bought me suits and shit when I needed to do. So it was, like, cool, but nigga, I thought
Starting point is 00:43:57 $3,000 was a lot to lie in the middle of the season. I'm like, damn, one table is $1,500? That's half of my month. Which is crazy. And that's in a comfortable city. You wasn't in New York. You wasn't in LA. Nah.
Starting point is 00:44:13 $1,500 table, $15,000. And then as you get up... Mike, why are you watching these highlights? I'm watching them on the top of your head, Ejector. I swear, if that Ricky Rubio video has a billion views, I gave it a billion. That's one of my favorite videos of all time, bro. I don't know. Every time I got ejected, I was, like, hooping.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Like, I was having great-ass games. You had 25 points a game. I know I was hooping. It was a third quarter. Why was you crashing that? I don't know, bro. I told you I just had these moments where I just... What happened to this game?
Starting point is 00:44:50 I don't even know this one. That ain't me. They just got the title. All the girls said, damn. I don't know. I just had moments where I just... That is funny, bro. Fuck everything.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Can you remember a teammate that you had that had a lot of tics that you played with? Nigga, you just was like, damn, man. Ivan Johnson had a lot of tics that you played with nigga that you just was like damn man Ivan Johnson had a lot of tics my dog yeah he had a lot of tics I can believe that
Starting point is 00:45:11 oh Josh Smith got a lot of tics I guess we're gonna talk crazy with ref for sure yeah I can see that he had a lot of tics shout out to J Smooth man
Starting point is 00:45:20 did you see Morris Swin he went on the podcast talking about Dora morey no basically he was just like i can't trust dora morey because this man is using ai to make decisions about basketball damn for real yeah he basically said like jgbt to construct this roster based on analytics and shit oh yeah a lot of people. But a bunch of... That's the game, though. Nah, that was... That happened with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Literally, they use analytics for everything. I told you I got... The reason I got traded is because I shot a mid-range jumper. I remember. Yeah. I remember I came in the locker room. We're down at...
Starting point is 00:45:59 We're going into half. And I had to shoot it. The shot clock was going on. And I shot a mid-range jump shot. And had to shoot it. The shot clock was going on and I shot a mid-range jump shot and I actually made it. I'm having a decent game.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Going to the locker room. You kind of can hear people yelling. We down. You can hear people yelling back and forth. He was like, he just don't want to
Starting point is 00:46:19 fucking buy in. I'm going to get his ass out of here. I'm like, what the fuck is this? Who the fuck? What happened? I'm thinking the coaches. I'm like, what the fuck is this? Who the fuck? What happened? I'm thinking of the coaches. I'm like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:46:27 As we walk out, coach tells me, come on, Jeff, man. You just have to buy-in. I'm like, the fucking what? We don't play defense. We the worst defense team in the fucking league. What the fuck are we talking about defense for? He was like, man, you shooting those floaters and these
Starting point is 00:46:43 mirroring shots. Step behind the line and shoot the third. And I didn't shoot a bunch of threes. I wasn't like a volume three-point shooter. That's what hurt me a little bit. As I got older, I started shooting more threes. When I got to Boston, I shot threes. But if I would have shot 10 threes a game in Minnesota,
Starting point is 00:46:59 they would have been happy. That just wasn't me at that time. I came to the league at a different time. I just didn't transition to that yet. They was just like, yeah, we got to get you the fuck out of here. You're not a part of where we want to go. And I used to just think, I hope Minnesota lose every fucking game. I forgot the dude that was a GM name. He came from Houston.
Starting point is 00:47:17 He came from Darryl Morey and all that. Oh, the coaching tree. Yeah, so he came from that whole GM thing. That's what they thought. Analytics, more threes, layups, and free throws. So I just, when I left, every time Minnesota lost, like, I just went out and had a great time.
Starting point is 00:47:33 I did. I used to be like... That fucked the game up, though. It did, bro. It eliminated a lot of people's positions that were good basketball players. Yeah. Like, we talked about um, damn, what's the dude he's playing for the Madness right now? Geographer. Yeah, and let's kill his game
Starting point is 00:47:47 because he could have been a bit skilled, could still contribute. That was bad, bad time. But he didn't shoot, so it was like, fuck it. My lord, that was bad time. Analytics murder people game. It took, that was, analytics took me out. Not really. And you can shoot though, that's a crazy part. My knees took me out.
Starting point is 00:48:02 But analytics kind of, it kind of made the game weird. Because it's like Chris Paul is one of the best mid-range point guards ever. And you see him when people who don't go off analytics. Like when OKC just started letting Chris Paul be Chris Paul again. And he's shooting them mid-range shots. And he being great. And they team win 12, 15 more games
Starting point is 00:48:27 because of him. It's like, y'all analytics is off. Yeah. Like, it might be a better shot or whatever, but he just won
Starting point is 00:48:35 15 more games doing what he do. Yeah. It's just like, my eyes tell me the truth. Here we go. Like, my eyes,
Starting point is 00:48:41 my eyes tell me the truth. Like, analytics is cool. I watch Charlotte. Y'all shoot a hell of threes. I watch it and it's bad. But then you watch Boston. They shoot 63s.
Starting point is 00:48:53 But then you watch OKC. You watch Shea. You watch DeMar DeRozan. It's different. Now, I was going to ask you. If SGA didn't average starting, he averaged 16, would they feel differently about him taking as many mid-range shots as he does? Of course they would.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Yeah, because he'd be fucking the game up. But then you watch Boston, and they winning these games, shooting 63s. And it's like, they getting more threes up than us. How can we beat a team? Because if they get hot, and they go 38 for 60, you don't have a fucking chance. You're cooked. Because what they shot, 70, when we did playback. It was crazy. 20, you don't have a fucking chance. You're cooked. Because what they shot 70 when we did playback.
Starting point is 00:49:27 It was great. 20 and didn't give a fuck. Yeah. And it's just like analytics tell you that that's a better shot. But when my eyes tell me, it's like, Jason Tatum can get to the basket.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Like you're 16. You can take this little dude to the basket. Yeah. And that's where my eyes tell me. And that's when the playoffs start. My eyes gonna tell me a lot. That's why I'm scared
Starting point is 00:49:47 what the Lakers can possibly do because Brian don't play analytics. He shoot more threes than he ever did now. Yeah. Most definitely. But that's with age too.
Starting point is 00:49:54 But when it's like time to get to it, Brian will take your ass to the basket. Yeah. And that's where it's gonna get interesting in the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:50:04 I don't know, man, because Boston, that's what...'s going to get interesting in the playoffs. I don't know, man, because Boston, that's what. Bro, we watched Drew Holiday have wide open layups. Could have dunked it. No. Three balls. He look like Terry Rozier out there. He did the Ben Simmons one time.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Yeah. Kicked it out. He did do that. He did do that. He like, shoot the layup. He kicked it out for a three. So it's been a pioneering analytics
Starting point is 00:50:27 or did he freeze up in the moment? He freezed up in the moment. You 16, you had a lot of throws. He was just earlier in the wave. Y'all wouldn't tap in yet. But he kicked it to
Starting point is 00:50:36 another nigga to shoot free throws. Yeah. If he would have kicked it for a three, I'd be like, you might be on to something. That nigga kicked it
Starting point is 00:50:44 to another nigga to shoot the free throws. Well, he could have just dunked it. I'd be like he might be on to something that nigga kicked it to another nigga to shoot the free throws well he could have just dunked it but I can't wait to see the type of year he have next year
Starting point is 00:50:50 why do y'all keep saying that he's not in there right now he's dead bro he ain't right now where's Barbie at I'm having a really good time man my drink is empty
Starting point is 00:51:00 he's not Barbie Barbie it's the first time I like y'all drinks second time she's gone yeah we! Barbie, it's the first time I like your drink. Second time. She's gone? Yeah, we only paid Barbie.
Starting point is 00:51:11 We paid Barbie about a minute. She? The crazy part is, she literally texted me and was like, should I stay for the next episode? Are they going to drink? Yeah, you get paid enough. I was like, I don't know. I think you'll be okay. Yeah, we paid her about a minute.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Yeah, let's shave that invoice down. She's literally like outside. Man. Is that her? I thought she was outside. I'll bring her ass back in. For sure. We pair about a minute.
