He should've been
Starting point is 00:04:32 an all-star. Let's get right into it. They hating. They hating on Trey Young, bro. It's crazy. They started to be a lot of hate. Trey Young is one of
Starting point is 00:04:39 the best point guards of all time already, but they definitely want a top player in the East. He should've been an all-star, man. Your want a top player in the East. He should be an all-star, man. Your nigga's going to be hurt, bro. And that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Because I remember the years that even when Dane was killing, he had to get in because somebody got hurt. But Trae Young getting snubbed in the East is crazy. Two years in a row is insane. Getting snubbed when you average 25 and 10 is wild. And don't bring up that record shit
Starting point is 00:05:06 because as much as I love Brad Bill, Brad Bill was getting an all-star game and the Wizards were absolutely poo. That's a fact. But he definitely
Starting point is 00:05:12 should be an all-star. I don't know over who this year, but they should have made an extra spot for my boy. Because Jalen Brunson deserved it. Tyrese Maxey deserved it.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Yeah, Jalen Brunson fucked it up. Tyrese Allenburn probably be out. Nah, it's Indiana. He'll play. Don't go that far now. Yeah, Jalen Brunson fucked it up. Tyrese Halliburton probably be out. Nah, it's Indiana. He'll play. Don't go that far now. Oh, he will.
Starting point is 00:05:28 All NBA. Halliburton. I'm not saying he don't deserve to be all-star, but I'm saying he get injuries. For sure. I'm happy that it wasn't. Because MB not playing. And listen, as much as I'm a Pacers fan,
Starting point is 00:05:44 y'all got to chill with that Miles Turner lobbying for that spot why not no who deserve it over Miles not no
Starting point is 00:05:53 no but they don't do that they gonna get somebody else in the all-star spot cause look you got Embiid out and you got Julius Randle out unfortunately
Starting point is 00:06:02 man Miles Turner deserve one of those he gonna get one of the spots he deserve it Miles deserve to be an all-star I ain't gonna lie he got the Pacers rolling and then they be hooping
Starting point is 00:06:12 without they be hooping without Tyrese TJ McConnell be hooping TJ Nash be hooping it's not just because of Miles Matherin be hooping
Starting point is 00:06:21 you know what shout out to Draymond Green I was a little worried when I heard him praise Ben Mather. And I was like, damn, this nigga about to start taking Kobe shots. But ever since then, he has been playing phenomenal. Draymond, talk about the rest of our team, please. Because when you said that shit, niggas start hooping for real. And I really appreciate that.

Starting point is 00:14:28 he said hey I'ma give him a piece of it though nah you better give him the whole check bro bro how is the league making that okay you won one game
Starting point is 00:14:37 while you been here they number one team in the east yeah ah damn that's why are they I think it's because Joe was
Starting point is 00:14:42 I think it's because Joe was the last year so he's gotta to be the second. You can't coach it two times in a row. Shout out to the Hawks, man. Oh, Lord. Hey, man. I feel like, though, back to this topic,
Starting point is 00:14:54 if Trey Young was in a different market, he wouldn't get treated the way he does. Hey, man. It's like that, though. I ain't going to lie. Atlanta ain't no basketball city. They love the Falcons. But it's like an entertainment city. We love the Falcons, but it's like an entertainment city.
Starting point is 00:15:06 We all know that. Yeah. But they not really tapped into basketball like that. Because even when y'all was killed, like, y'all had a historic run and niggas, like, really wasn't fully tapped
Starting point is 00:15:13 in the way they should have. Nah, people didn't start coming to the games until we went on, like, a 13-game winning streak and shit. That's what it takes. And then when we got up
Starting point is 00:15:20 to, like, 19, it was, like, sold out. But it was like, you know, Atlanta, one of them kind of cities where, like, shit got to be going on. Like, oh, damn, it's cool to go 19, it was like sold out. But it was like, you know, Atlanta, one of them kind of cities where like shit got to be going on. Like, oh, damn, it's cool to go see the Hawks, for sure. But Trey Young is must-see TV.
Starting point is 00:15:32 But it's just the Hawks, you know. They ain't that good this year. They up and down. So we're going to three-game win streak, though. For sure. He killing it. Free Trey Young. I like the narrative.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Shout that shit out. Yeah, I feel like Rudy Gobert going to be in the Hall of Fame because he was talking about him getting snuffed from the All-Star game. He was like, it's cool, I'm going to laugh at him in my Hall of Fame speech.
Starting point is 00:15:50 And I'm just like, yeah, he got, what, three defensive players a year or something like that? And a couple All-NBAs. Yeah, he making it. He got a crazy resume. Yeah, he going to make it.
Starting point is 00:15:59 I saw him sit in the club yesterday. I'm like, bro. John Z. Only reason why niggas is hating him is because we feel like he a gunk. And he gave Donovan club yesterday. I'm like, bro. Jot Z. Only reason why niggas is hating him is because we feel like he a gunk. And he gave Donovan Mitchell COVID.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah, like, he just lame, bro. He do what he post doing that paint. False. Yeah, that nigga. Come on, bro. You know what I'm saying? Nigga be wanting me to relax. Yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:20 But that nigga is going to the Hall of Fame, though. Shout out to him, man. Rudy Gobert. Going to be the first nigga to never do a jump hook make to the Hall of Fame. Shout out to him, man. Rudy Gobert. Going to be the first nigga to never do a jump hook make it to the Hall of Fame. I ain't hating, but that's for real.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Shaq hated that nigga when he got paid. I thought that was funny. But for real, Rudy Gobert, he do his job. He catch the lobs, he protect the rim. He do a good job.
Starting point is 00:16:38 I mean, Bill Russell in there, so shit. But think about it. Like, he going to make it to the Hall of Fame with no offense. Not one near highlight clip of nothing. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Okay. That's like the definition of doing your job to the best of your ability. That's what I said. I wasn't disrespectful, bro. That's Bill Russell, bro. He didn't have no offensive game, bro. He damn nerd. He was a defensive presence, bro.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Bill Russell was known for his defense, bro. I'm not comparing the careers. I'm just telling y'all what they did on the court and what they was known for. Bill Russell, nobody wants to hoop like Bill Russell on the offensive end. I'm going to give him more like Ben Wallace. I'm going to give him...
Starting point is 00:17:17 I respect that, too, bro. I ain't mad at that. I'm going to give him Ben Wallace. They got the same type of... That makes sense. Yeah. You see that video that had Will arguing
Starting point is 00:17:26 with Bill Russell? I'm like, y'all got everything but that 100-point game. Y'all some liars. He definitely had 100. I watch his highlights, bro. It's ridiculous, bro.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Bro, that nigga average... I keep trying to tell y'all, bro. He average 50 and 25, bro. So he's snatching niggas shots out the air. So niggas just starting to break, shooting fadeaway jump.
Starting point is 00:17:44 I'm like, Will's damn nerve was cold. Now, Will was hard. Yeah, Will might be the best ever. If Will averaged, nigga,
Starting point is 00:17:50 30 and 12, he was nasty, bro. That nigga averaged 50. You a cold nigga. Yeah, bro. Nigga, we getting hyped for motherfuckers getting 60. This nigga averaged 50.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Yeah, he scored 100, man. I don't care what y'all say. Everybody was 6-1, but fuck me. He had to play against who he had to play against. Send a video.

Do y'all think she'll have a better college career than Kayla Clark? You talking about Steph Curry? If she stay healthy. Don't let Cheryl Swoopes hear you say that.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Who? Cheryl Swoopes was hating on Kaylin Clark. What'd she say? She was basically like, she's not Kelsey Plum. She's like, she's only doing this because of the rules and the extra COVID year, although she's only played four years. And she was just like, when she gets to the W, she ain't going to be able to shoot all them shots.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Cheryl Swoops, respect you, queen. You are one of the goats, but when she comes to the Indiana Fever, she will shoot that bitch every time she feels like it. And we have a Leah Boston. She can shoot that bitch whenever she feels like it. I drove past fucking Jiffy Luke today, and they had a sign that says, Kalen, please come to
Starting point is 00:31:01 Indianapolis. Yeah, times change, too. Yeah, she better than Cheryl Swoops. If anything, these fucking women need to start highlighting and bigging up this youngsters coming up.

Starting point is 00:31:41 Yeah, and obviously she can't guard Cheryl because of her games here, but Kaylin Clark. We ain't say Cheryl wasn't going to cook her. Cheryl's going to give her 40. Like. Yeah. It's going to be ugly. I was about to say, like, they.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Now, Swoop's going to hoop now, but I'm saying, like, she's going to give Cheryl Swoop's work, too. She's going to be a, for anybody, bro. She got a burner, bro.
