Starting point is 00:07:19 I wish we could have a picture of that y'all three together in the club we need y'all on the show man nah for sure most definitely Mike brought this up and asked me why I haven't apologized have a picture of that. Y'all three together in the club. In the game. We need y'all on the show, man. Nah, for sure. Most definitely. Mike brought this up
Starting point is 00:07:28 and asked me why I haven't apologized to J. Cole. Say sorry. No. You should. He made a great business decision.
Starting point is 00:07:36 He did. Allegedly, Schoolboy Q told him to sit this out and told him, hey, this is, this might get a little bit darker than you think.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Shout out to Schoolboy Q, man, being a real one. For sure. Crazy album, too, by the way. They out to Schoolboy Q, man, being a real one. For sure. Crazy album too, by the way. They got overshadowed by all this stuff that's happening. He dropped an album? Yeah, it came out
Starting point is 00:07:50 about two months ago. It's fire. Somebody else just dropped an album that was cool. 4BATS. Yeah, yeah. Elite. Everybody was talking about that.
Starting point is 00:08:01 So J. Cole did what he was supposed to do, basically. Yeah. I ain't mad at J. Cole for what he was supposed to do, basically. Yeah. I ain't mad at J. Cole for doing it. But as a fan, he's let us down so many times. Niggas be... We back in 520? Yeah, I took a shot of the motherfucking...
Starting point is 00:08:19 Hennessy? Yeah, that. Niggas be sad about J. Cole, man. Because, man, every given time he give us a chance to, you know what I'm saying, really champion him, he do a smart decision, and we got like, I understand, but damn. So on some real, like, real talk, him doing that, I know y'all say he made the right business decision,
Starting point is 00:08:40 but did that take him down in the power rankings, honestly? No, he's still number one. I don't think. Wow. Number one? Yeah. I was thinking about it over the weekend and I feel like Big Sean gets a lot of disrespect.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I feel like Big Sean lyrically is up there with that. I don't know why you just inserted Big Sean in this conversation. Because I think Big Sean is lyrically just as talented. I respect your opinion, Mike. I would agree with that statement in 2010. But in 2024, Jesus Christ. Bitch, y'all nice, though.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Bitch, y'all got classics. I'm not ever disrespected. I'm a mixtape era baby. Michael's still in high school. Yeah. He ain't dropped Finally Famous Volume 3 in a long time. That's a fact. That shit was. But he got classics. Detroit classic mixtape. Dark Sky Paradise
Starting point is 00:09:27 elite album. Detroit is crazy. Now Detroit's a very Really an album for real. And that was a pivotal time in his career. Like when shit was getting dicey he came crazy with that album.
Starting point is 00:09:36 So there's no disrespect. I'm not mad at you Mike for that. But J. Cole is still number one. To me so far yes. Still. Dang. Cause he been going crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:45 I mean, outside of what happened with his last stuff, the beef shit, feature-wise, the last two years, he's murder shit. Yeah, he's been doing his thing. Yeah, he's been going crazy. I mean, Kendrick wasn't making music outside of Mr. Morale. Drake was still being Drake, but Drake wasn't really rapping, rapping like that. Drake was making more melodic music outside of For All The Dogs. Shout out to J. Cole, man.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Respect. I ain't mad at J. Cole for getting out of the way. I'm still mad because damn, bro, every time I get a chance to try to champion you, this is what happens.
Starting point is 00:10:10 You bow out. But as crazy as this shit's gotten, I can't really be mad about that. Who y'all think won? Because it's over with, obviously. Wow. I hope it is at this point. I'm going to take Kendrick.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Yeah. Who you taking, Mike? He got an OVO photo shoot. Don't worry. I'm still... I'm taking Drake. Taking Drake? Taking Drake.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Yeah? Man. I'm taking Future. He started it. Metro started it it Metro started it Metro started it Hey now Future said He got
Starting point is 00:10:50 Him and Gunner Dropping on Friday Same time That's his beef now Yeah He told it He said Fuck your album
Starting point is 00:10:57 My mixtape Slap I'm glad they do though Go mixtapes Nah but Nah I don't know bro Give me Drake Give me Drake. Give me Drake. Oh.
Starting point is 00:11:09 I think K-Dawg saw that one up, man. Friday night when Meet the Grams came out. I don't think there's much more you can do after that. The only one I'm saying, like, Euphoria, I think, was the best diss track. That was the best diss track. But I think Drake's response to everything was on point and we didn't expect drake to come back as as good as he did i didn't at least family matters is fire and he killed everybody else on that song except kendrick and he was
Starting point is 00:11:37 fighting five at once so that's why that's why that's always why i'm picking drake he was fighting five and then with him Like if the information Really is fake Like That was a very Chest move type Ordeal bro I'm not giving him
Starting point is 00:11:51 Credit on that one Because all these Rappers lie It's a diss Everybody be gassing Rap lying They'll say When I'm next to you
Starting point is 00:11:59 You the best That's my dog I'm not next to you He sucks He's the worst I expect lies In my music Everybody lies in music.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Not Future, bro. Touche. He the only one on this game. Ain't nobody saying Future, man. Don't nobody say nothing about Future. Which is crazy, bro. He be in the mix of all this bullshit.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Don't nobody ever say nothing. It all makes sense. The one time Drake did say Future was like, I didn't really have no problem with you. Yeah. They trying to rope you into this. They trying to rope you into this.
Starting point is 00:12:25 They trying to turn you against me. Yeah. It's like when you out, it's the dude you really want to fight. Pluto, Pluto something. Yeah. Yeah, when you out, you be like,
Starting point is 00:12:32 I don't really want to fight you, bro. Like, let's talk this out. Like, why are you really mad at me? That's what he was on. Smart approach. Hey, hoops. You know what I'm saying? NBA going crazy right now.
Starting point is 00:12:42 OKC, Mavs. Jalen Williams, I owe you an apology. I knew that she was like that, but I didn't know it was going to be like that. They went crazy yesterday against the Mavs.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Yeah, I told you they was going to get game one, though. You did. Yeah, I didn't worry about that. I mean, game one is game one, but they nice. They cold. They definitely nice.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Obviously, at the crib, take care of business game one. I don't expect Luka Doncic to ever play that bad to get in the playoffs. But, damn,
Starting point is 00:13:09 OKC. That foul merchant stuff everybody complaining with Luka about, Shay get the same whistle. So, it's really kind of even. It's about who
Starting point is 00:13:17 really going to show up. And OKC, as a team, has showed that they are ready for that smoke. Yeah. They looked way better than them last night. They did. They for that smoke. Yeah. They looked way better than them last night.
Starting point is 00:13:26 They did. They looked so together. Yeah. And that's what I think was so fire for the league when you got teams like OKC, you got teams like Minnesota geared around young talent and they all played the right way. They all played the right way.
Starting point is 00:13:39 And you can tell they all genuinely liked playing with each other on the team. They don't give a damn, bro. They don't give a fuck about bro. They don't give a fuck about this OG shit. Like, nigga, let's hoop. Fuck it.
Starting point is 00:13:48 You can see the changing of the guards. Like, the young guys are starting to take it over, bro. The league is in good hands. Yup, Shay and Ant. They're going to have a Western Conference
Starting point is 00:14:00 sold out for the next couple of years. For sure. And they both, like you said, especially OKC, dog, they got so many resources they can really attach themselves to going forward. They could get KD if they wanted to.
Starting point is 00:14:11 That would be a crazy homecoming. That would be hard, bro. If they got KD next year and they came and won a ring, that would be crazy. Putting a man up in OKC with KD would be fire. That would be so tough. KD, Sha and Chet. Woo. Fucking bring Russ back too. MakeD, Sha and Chet. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Fuck it. Bring Russ back too. Make him come off the bench. Turn up. Redemption story. That'd be hard. And they could do it though. They could.
Starting point is 00:14:33 They could financially afford all of them without losing anybody. Yeah. That is tough, bro. KD at the four. Let Jalen Williams go to the three.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Lou Dort. Shay. Ooh. She gonna do it with Chet. Chet at the five. Lou Dort. Shea. Ooh. What you going to do with Shea? Shea at the five. Yeah, at the five. I'll rock with it. Giddy got.
Starting point is 00:14:50 What about Giddy? Giddy hooped last night, too. Mm-hmm. He did. He can, yeah, he can be six man. He can be six man. I mean, that only makes the team better. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:02 For sure. That'd be tough. You know, our league is good hands, though. They're going to be good. Even if they lose, they're going to be team better. Yeah. For sure. That'd be tough. You know, our league is good hands, though. They're going to be good. Even if they lose, they're going to be good for a while. For sure. Because I don't think this Luka and Kyrie shit are going to last too much longer, bro.
Starting point is 00:15:12 No, this that year right here. If they don't make it this year. Yeah. They're going to have to make something shake. Yeah. Kyrie just signed an extension, too, which is crazy. Yeah, but this is that year, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I got to ask. They've been talking about this all week. I want to see how y'all felt about it. Who won that trade between the Clippers and OKC, basically, the PG? OKC ain't even close. You got a hell of picks. So I'm assuming one of them picks is Jalen Williams. I'm assuming.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I don't know. Four picks, two pick swaps. Gallinari and SGA. I forgot which one, but yeah. I think the one from 2022, 23, and then 28, if I'm correct. So yeah, one of them probably was him. Probably Jalen Williams. He's nice. Then you got Shea.
Starting point is 00:15:55 He about to be an MVP. PG good, but he ain't scratching MVP. It's probably over for that run to be MVP. He young. Do everything he can do. Actually, better leader. And more durable. Yeah, and he play.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Business decision. Clearly win the OKC favor for sure if he was a businessman. And that's crazy because Sam Preston get a lot of flack. I mean, everybody praises him for a job he does, but he caught a lot of flack with saying, all right, you have all these MVPs, leave your team. And for him to re-up after getting Paul George from the Pacers on a fluke situation, it's crazy. But he worked better with Les.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Not, I shouldn't say Les, but like when he could build it from the ground up. Like with KD, Rush, James, he built that from the ground up. They all just became who they were there. That's real. He built them from the ground up, though. When he had to inherit PG, Mello,
Starting point is 00:16:47 and all them, you could see it wasn't really working. But now that he got all these dudes from the ground up. Yeah, that make a lot of sense. Now that I think about it,
Starting point is 00:16:56 that's for sure. Because they all came in these all-stars, franchise players. That's hard to kind of break that mold and reprogram somebody in Oklahoma City.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah, it affects. Because those decisions are going to have to be made. The same decisions he had to make with James and Russ and them, he's going to have to make with Chet and them here soon. Not really, though. No, because he can afford three max slots. So Chet will be on a max deal. Obviously, SGA, max. And J. Lewis is probably going to be a max player.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Nobody else you have to pay like that. Yeah, you can max them out. You might have to pay Giddy, bro. He's going to have to fly to him. You might have to pay Giddy. He's going to pay Giddy, but they all get paid different times, though.
Starting point is 00:17:39 SGA already signed his extension. What's up? Then Giddy up next, right? Yep. Yep. Jay Williams you got for another two years. Shet got two more years. So yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:51 They're going to keep that team together. They're going to learn a lesson from letting James go. James go. That's still crazy that they kind of
Starting point is 00:17:59 let him walk like that. Yeah. But if you had to lose one person, Giddy wouldn't be a bad person to lose, even though he's a good player. Replaceable,
Starting point is 00:18:06 I feel like you could find a... Find another one of those in the haywire. Yeah, like another big wing that can... They got a good eye for picking talent, so obviously they know
Starting point is 00:18:16 how to draft well, so I think they can probably find one. He the true for that. And they got enough draft picks to... They damn sure got enough draft picks. Yeah, shit. That's why I said that,
Starting point is 00:18:24 KD, these shit just, it seems perfect. They got 85 draft picks for... They damn sure got enough draft picks. That's why I said that KD shit just seems perfect. They got 85 draft picks for sure. Fuck off two of them and go ahead and seal the deal. But yeah, that series is going to be crazy. Like I said, I don't expect Luka to play that bad again. I was very surprised by how... Not surprised, but Gafford and Derrick Jones Jr.
Starting point is 00:18:41 were crazy yesterday. They just... The backcourt didn't give them much help. But OKC played the Follies game. That's going to be a fire ass series. Boston,
Starting point is 00:18:48 we knew what that was going to be about. I told y'all how Boston come and pause. Like they, they locked in, bro. I talked to some people. I got a new package in.
Starting point is 00:18:58 It's in my trunk. I got some shoes for y'all. Not really, they really for me, but we all going to wear them. It's all for me but I was like
Starting point is 00:19:07 shit he said five or six pair I might as well let the podcast wear them oh okay they was for me though hey JT
Starting point is 00:19:14 Ant sent us some shoes dog you with us way to buy us over here nah bro I'm right matter of fact I wish I could leave and go put them on
Starting point is 00:19:22 damn my trunk you actually can if you want to that would be hilarious if you did that bring mine when he said that it sounded like
Starting point is 00:19:34 he had one pair of shoes yeah and y'all was in the show I was confused I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes.
Starting point is 00:19:51 But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened

Starting point is 00:23:55 supposed to do whooping ass Jalen Brown did his thing Jalen Brown and Derek White what I say about yeah ball hit Derek White I told y'all a while ago.
Starting point is 00:24:06 And they gave him a light 25 last night, bro. What'd I tell y'all about Derek White? Yeah, that guard play. We was talking about that other series in Boston and Minnesota, they both make it. What'd I say about Derek White? He said he gonna do his thing
Starting point is 00:24:19 to sum it up. But I still feel like he better not try to even think about guarding him. He actually can guard. He can. He can. I just like him because he can do everything. Nah, he's a utility man.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Yeah, so that 25 that he got last night, I definitely respect it for shit show. Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, he played really well last playoffs. And one thing that's crazy is, speaking of the trade situation, what they traded to get him, they gave up Romeo, they gave up Josh Richardson to get him and shit.
Starting point is 00:24:49 That's a hell of a trade, bro. Both years in a row, they've gotten two elite point guards with Derek White and then doubling back and getting Drew. And he a big guard, though.
Starting point is 00:24:58 So that helps. He's a mad genius. Yeah. I called that, though. I want y'all to know that. I called that Drew. Go get Drew. No, I told him.

We can do everything. We got good hand-eye coordination, good feet, speed, strength, everything. Football players, they're not coordinated really like that. They get on the court, they look crazy. You see their jump shots. You see how they be moving.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Yeah, I was going to say, most NFL players look like they got dreads. Yeah. They look like they're about to foul you every time. It's like... What I like about this is, regardless of who's right or wrong in the situation, I just seen random football players

Y'all can't play baseball better than football players, bro. I was going to follow up with that question. None of them can dribble. That's what I mean.

Starting point is 00:39:13 Nah, that ain't even. We ain't even got to talk about that. Yeah, I guess we ain't going to do the speed part. You got four or six. Four or six. But to say you're going to do that to him on that field is dangerous. That football speed and basketball speed is different, bro. Yeah, I don't think.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Bro, bro, y'all got, y'all got, y'all shit. You a strong nigga, Paul is strong. No, they super strong,
Starting point is 00:39:34 but I'm talking about when we compare basketball, bro, did you see Zaire, bro? He kept coming out, Paul, he was like leaving the game because he like,
Starting point is 00:39:42 they doing too much. Yeah, they got a little fast one. He wasn't expecting those type of players in there. Tim held it down for the trenches. Tim held it down.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Tim definitely held it down. Nah, bro, I don't see you doing my dogs like that. Nah, they probably, I don't know. Shout out to them, but I love them boys.
Starting point is 00:39:56 You might be fast with them, but boy, they might jam you up on that line. He's strong as hell, though. That's why I'm not saying I'm talking about
Starting point is 00:40:04 his energy. He said no contact. This is straight. I seen saying. We definitely not having no help in Japan. No contact. This is straight. I seen Z. V-Lon and Derrick Henry. I don't know if you know what that's supposed to mean. That's what I'm saying, bro.
Starting point is 00:40:12 I'm never saying I'm going to break your tackle. Oh, we ain't even talking about that. No, no, no. This is strictly shorts, T-shirt, flag, whatever you want. Yeah, 7-on-7 swag. Yeah, I'm nothing. We'll set it up. That's the only thing
Starting point is 00:40:25 football players have over basketball players we probably can't take the hit Paul's like take the hit nah like
Starting point is 00:40:31 if you ain't did that a long time bro oh wow talking about getting hit in the football field getting tackled bro he's so
Starting point is 00:40:41 he's so left handed bro that's crazy oh shit he's trying to call you. He's trying to tell y'all to get hit consistently. That's crazy. If a nigga took a break. That's football, bro.
Starting point is 00:40:51 I'm talking about who we used to get fouled. They gonna be like, y'all soft. Y'all get hit in the arm. Yeah. Z be on that. He do be on that. He be on that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:00 C-T-E. Facts. Every time somebody gets hit in a cliff, they post that Jeezy Gays and Grills edit, and it's so crazy. Y'all think, hold on. Oh, that is funny. That's a classic part.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Hold on. Y'all think a basketball player, I think it's more likely like a basketball player can go in there and catch a couple of passes before some of these football players. The average NFL player can score a point
Starting point is 00:41:29 in the NBA. Pause, I think, how big you are matters. Because, like, Marley Cox is big as hell. So,
Starting point is 00:41:35 yeah, I feel like he can jump over somebody else and hit the bitch. That should give y'all, like, a sign that if you play basketball,
Starting point is 00:41:40 you can play in the NFL or play bad, like, be good at football. Now, the catcher pass and score, it's so hard to score in the NBA I hate when regular niggas say
Starting point is 00:41:47 I can get two points in the NBA I'm nothing I agree but to play the game bro I don't know if y'all niggas can get out there score in the NFL ain't easy
Starting point is 00:41:56 no but that's what I'm saying bro mean catch a pass oh yeah but think about it though all them players that we name it they play basketball they ain't even play football and they just went to go try out for football.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Because they like, I'm athletic. I'm fast. I can do this. Like, dude, for the coach, he was like, I play basketball. I'm just big, strong, athletic. That's crazy, too. And that'd be a lot of... You just all you got to do is be kind of slow, play football.
Starting point is 00:42:20 For real. Think about it. You're like, yo, I'm about to just go run head first oh my god I'm about to just run into a wall see if it move this is crazy
Starting point is 00:42:31 no let me stop this is a professional athlete speaking like this I was just talking shit cause Zaire was on our head when we had the show with him bro he was talking shit
Starting point is 00:42:38 he was he was just on our head but nah them niggas can't score in the NBA I agree with you 100% on that bro for sure shout out to the churches I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Starting point is 00:42:57 Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them.

Speaking of teammates, I saw that story of Martian Gortat basically saying when John Wall got hurt, they didn't pull up to check on him and stuff like that. And I thought that that was kind of crazy to hear that, for him to say, like, yeah, I feel like we dropped the ball as a team because we didn't really be there for him when he kind of needed us.
Starting point is 00:46:42 And it was just like, for as much slack that he caught for no reason with that organization and that team, it's interesting to hear that stuff now. But I think it's crazy how certain players get so much hate and so much slander from a community, from a team, and then you hear stuff later, it's just like, that wasn't even that. And I want to ask you about that because obviously you've been in a couple of locker rooms.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Have you ever been in situations where you see people talk a lot of shit about a teammate or catch a whole lot of flagging, but like, man, that motherfucker really actually cool. Like, he ain't even really own that. Yeah. I had a lot of teammates like that. Like, I remember Monte Ellis got a lot of slack and he was actually cool. I mean, everybody complained about playing time
Starting point is 00:47:20 and stuff like that. It's just natural. Everybody competitors, but he was cool. Same thing with like that. It's just natural. Everybody competitors, but he was cool. Same thing with like Cat. Yeah. He get a bad rap for some stuff, but he was cool. I mean,
Starting point is 00:47:34 he was a star. So, you know, they're going to have certain things they like about the game, how they want shit to go in the locker room or whatever. And same thing with Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Like, they was just two competitive dudes, but they not bad dudes. Like, you've been in here playing dominoes with Jimmy, whatever. And same thing with Jimmy. Like, they was just two competitive dudes, but they not bad dudes. Like, you've been in here playing dominoes with Jimmy, Mike. He be chilling. He be cool, and that's him on a natural basis.
Starting point is 00:47:52 But when it comes to being competitive in the game of basketball, certain people want stuff to go a certain way, but they not like bad people. Not at all. And I think that's crazy. As much as everybody wants
Starting point is 00:48:01 everybody to be a dog, wants to be aggressive, it's like, okay, when they exert that, now all of a sudden they too aggressive. You don't like what they doing. So now it's like really misused. I don't know. I think it's so weird.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Just to see that story and be like, damn, y'all gave John Wall a lot of hate and called him by his name for a lot of stuff that he didn't do. Yeah. Same way with like Andrew Wiggins. He get a lot of hate too. Because people be like, oh, you should do so much more. You know what I mean? Yeah. He's number one pick.
Starting point is 00:48:24 But he just a really good dude though. He be chilling man he don't worry about nobody he don't cause no problem he just come to work he don't say run no plays for me he'll just just do his job and i respect people like that he don't even say nothing in the locker room he don't complain about nothing like bro you gonna you can get some better shoes than that bro somebody somebody give him new pair. He'll wear the same pair the whole year. He just don't complain, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:50 That's hard. Yeah. Yeah, man. I think that shit's weird. And shout out to Bill Simmons. Bill Simmons shouted us out on the podcast. He was just like, it's interesting now to see, like, a lot of player-based podcasts just from the standpoint of you get type of instant like information from people that you never would have
Starting point is 00:49:06 gotten. But the personalities like for instance, he was like how like, people didn't know you for talking but people don't really go get your word now because anything you say they know it. You're not lying about shit, especially when you say stuff about you. And I think it's dope now that everybody has that platform that you can kind of misconstrue that stuff because back then, John had no platform and nobody else in the locker room had a podcast to go talk about. But now you got people
Starting point is 00:49:28 talking about games after they lose. Like, we talked about that LeBron shit. He did a whole breakdown of them losing to the Nuggets. Man, listen, Rashad McKenzie might be right about that theory, dog. Yeah, he getting JJ ready. But LeBron gonna coach you.
