Starting point is 00:11:00 Nigga was froze over there. His eyes got big like, I just took my son to practice. Nigga. Soccer dad. Soccer dad. Did you open the van door today? Start the fucking show, DJ.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Hey, we went to the Mavs game. When we was two days earlier, we left early and missed a great fucking shot by Kyrie. Nigga saying, Robin, not Kyrie, the coldest a great fucking shot by Kyrie. Niggas saying Robyn and Kyrie the coldest nigga to ever hoop.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Kyrie is definitely the one, he one of the best players ever. He definitely top 10 when it comes to just straight hooping skill set.
Starting point is 00:11:36 No accolades and none of that, just straight skill set. He top 10. What's crazy for me is how you get a lot of people who be like,
Starting point is 00:11:43 the argument of Kyrie one of the most skilled people ever until you see like actual players be like yeah he is and then everybody else be like no, but I'm like who do we believe here? The niggas that he's playing and does all this crazy shit against or the niggas at home on Twitter? Bro. Probably the niggas he played
Starting point is 00:11:58 against. Bro, Kyrie's so fucking good at basketball. Sometimes I question myself about basketball. I be like how the fuck do he get that good with his left hand or how he get, sometimes I question myself about basketball. I'll be like, how the fuck do he get that good with his left hand or how he get... Like, I play basketball
Starting point is 00:12:10 at a high, high level. Like, I'm like, how did he get that good? Like, what did he do to get that good? Like, he's good as fuck. If you got people like Dame Lillard...
Starting point is 00:12:20 Yeah, come on, bro. Come on, bro. These niggas are top 75 and they telling you the best skill player ever. It was comparing him, saying it was a debate on social media about him and KD, who was the best scorer. That nigga Draymond said that Kyrie is the scorer that everybody thinks KD is.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Yeah, Draymond got it kicked up. I'm just saying, but it was ongoing. That shit, like, blew up. Now, you talk about just straight scoring. Give me the footer. Give me KD. Give me the footer. Give me KD. I got the footer. And that's no disrespect.
Starting point is 00:12:48 That's my favorite player, but KD, bro. Kyrie elite. But I think Draymond is saying, like, you can't guard Kyrie. You can't stop him. Like, you can do things to stop KD. And you can't, like, send a double at Kyrie. He can beat the double, whatever. Because he's small.
Starting point is 00:13:03 He got handles. He can do all that. But just straight getting buckets? No, bro. Ain't nobody better than KDA getting buckets. Hell nah, bro. But what's crazy about the Kyrie shit, obviously, Jokic played good defense on that shit.
Starting point is 00:13:16 A nigga shooting a left-hand hook for game is fucking disrespectful. Yeah. And that's not even his best game winner. And that's still one of the best game winners. Yeah, I'm just I don't know bro Maybe not his best moment But best game winner bro
Starting point is 00:13:31 That's tough bro I count that one Against Steph as a game winner No That's what I'm saying That's what I'm saying I feel like that's a moment That's his best moment
Starting point is 00:13:38 Probably in the league Because of what that meant Motherfucker running bro Shoot a left hand That's absurd For you to even shoot that. For your mind to go there and say, I'm about to shoot a running left hand look and I'm right-handed over a seven-footer
Starting point is 00:13:54 with a great closeout. It don't. He just good as fuck, bro. I don't know. I can't even explain it, bro. One time I was guarding him, we had a duel. It was in, I hit the game winner. Ironically. But we
Starting point is 00:14:08 was in Cleveland. And that's when I realized, like, this motherfucker just good as shit. Like, he was doing shit. We was going, we was doing everything. Trapping, switching. He was scoring every single time. Luckily, I was just having one of them moments too. And I hit the game winner to win
Starting point is 00:14:24 the game. But that's when I realized, like, I knew he was good as fuck his rookie year, but at that moment, I knew he was just having one of them moments too, and I hit the game winner to win the game, but that's when I realized, like, I knew he was good as fuck his rookie year, but at that moment, I knew he was just, like, unguardable. I was like, nah. I tell people all the time, like, that's my favorite player, but I remember very, very early on, we was all in a group call, and he was just like, nah, Kyrie really, like, cold. He was
Starting point is 00:14:39 like, they ass right now, but he's like, when we play against a nigga, like, we never even have him to scheme against him type shit. Yeah, he's too good. He's too talented at basketball, bro. That's crazy. Shit, Anthony Edwards won basketball this week. A lot of niggas went crazy this week, but what Anthony Edwards did to John Collins, to your Wake Forest alum.
Starting point is 00:14:59 That's tough. Lord. To dunk on a nigga but give him a concussion is insane. Get well soon, like my boy Nick. I'm fucking excited I need to put that on the shirt. Hey bro,
Starting point is 00:15:10 why he say I'm a, you know, after the game dude asked for a jersey he said I'm sending it to John Collins. He was saying Collin, Collin Sexton.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Oh! But we just ran with it because it was funnier. Oh, that's even, that's hilarious. But the funnier part is what if he would've gave it to you, John Collins?
Starting point is 00:15:25 If I dunk on you, give you a concussion, and give you my jersey, John gotta see him. Yeah, that's a fact. Like, you a white forest, bro. You gotta turn up. We ain't never going for that.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Like, what? With y'all lumpy on. Smacking niggas. Come on, bro. J.J. tap in. That ain't the first time he did a motherfucker like that, though. Because he didn't cut a motherfucker from the motherfucker like that, though. Because he didn't
Starting point is 00:15:45 call the motherfucker from the side like that, too. Oh, that's nuts. That was crazy. That's crazy. Respect. That's his best dunk. My nigga got
Starting point is 00:15:53 hella highlights on. That's his best dunk. That's a crazy one, though. It is. I think that's his best one. I know the one you talking about where he went from the side and he fell, too.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Yeah. That was crazy. The one that gave Vincent it didn't count was crazy. But this one's crazy. And also, shit, the post game
Starting point is 00:16:10 where the reporter put that microphone next to him for no fucking reason when he was talking about that shit. Yeah, that's out of pocket. I swear I didn't know that, man. That's fucked up. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:16:18 he out of pocket. Little ass nigga. I'm like, man, that's hard, bro. He's a go, bro. It was an accident too, but the reporter didn't have to slide the phone, the mic right there, but it's cool.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Yeah, I was going to say that. Yeah, that was a little wild. They just keep trying to figure out, I mean, not figure out, but find ways to not make him the face of the league. They trying to put smut on his image, for real. Man, I think, and also, I think he's just being him, and it's working. He is. I think the best thing about it is the rolling out. Like, shout out, and also, I think he's just being him and it's working. He is. I think the best thing about it
Starting point is 00:16:46 is the rolling out. Like, shout out to my homies at Adidas. The campaign for the AE1s and how he's playing right now is the perfect shit. That's the hardest basketball shoe out.
Starting point is 00:16:55 You think so? I don't be saying that because, you know, everybody, you just say that because it's Anthony Edwards. That basketball shoe, I just saw that blue
Starting point is 00:17:02 in the footlocker, bro. It's number one, bro. Yeah. Adidas, please send me some AE1s. I asked y'all. I'm begging at this point. Cam, send it through. Please.
Starting point is 00:17:11 And then sign Pike up for Adidas. We talked about this earlier. For sure. That'd be crazy. Yeah, but I love the AE1s. But I feel like they should do even more for him. I feel like the rollout should be even bigger. I feel like he really could be the face of the NBA.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Like, he's like, like how John Moran had it, what, a year ago before the shit happened? How he had it cracking? A.E. didn't took that level. Like, he a superstar. He ain't just a star.
Starting point is 00:17:34 He's a superstar. Facts, bro. And then he got the personality, the game, to be, like, icon. Mm-hmm. Like, for real.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Because, bro, even a couple weeks ago, bro, that block to win the game because of Pacius is fucking crazy. Anytime you got people excited about Minnesota, and no offense, I ain't saying that because of how Minnesota feel about me. I'm being for real. Like, Minnesota
Starting point is 00:17:57 is not a destination that people want to go to, and it's not a place that people want. Like, nobody wants to watch Minnesota play. But when Anthony Edwards, like, I want to watch the Minnesota play. Like, I want to go to a Timber not a place that people want. Like, nobody wants to watch Minnesota play. Right. But when Anthony Edwards like, I want to watch the Minnesota play. Like,
Starting point is 00:18:07 I want to go to a Timberwolves game. I think he might get 50 at some point. He going to have some crazy highlight. So if Minnesota will accept me,
Starting point is 00:18:13 I will come back to a game. He'll boo this shit out of me. He'll be like, welcome back, Jeff T. What the fuck
Starting point is 00:18:21 is he doing here? We will not have a live show on Minnesota, boy. Unless the Somalians show love, then we good money. Shout out to my Somalians
Starting point is 00:18:27 holding up in here. Yeah, please. Respect. All love. Nigga's showing love. I was at the Patriots game and dude was Somalian. He's from Canada.
Starting point is 00:18:34 He's like, hey, we fuck with y'all up there. I'm like, hey, tell people in Minnesota we feel the same way. It's all love, bro. It wasn't me. It was them.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Nigga, tell us. Blame it on John. It was them. Nigga, tell us. Blame it on John. It was them. Hey, also, Jalen Johnson caught a body this week. If it wasn't for A, this would definitely be a number one, but Osiris got dunked on
Starting point is 00:18:55 for no fucking reason. First play of the game, though. Crack the game off. You automatically win if something like that happens. Yeah, well, they call that, what they call that? Arabian Google,
Starting point is 00:19:04 Google, or something? Arabian Google, Google, or something. Arabian goggles. When a nigga dunk on you and put they nuts on your forehead. Oh my God. You know, when niggas get quiet,

Because they be getting some shit off, bro. They be getting some shit off. That was crazy. The best, the one with the best bars, Paul's is like,
Starting point is 00:20:29 Mark Jones. Shout to the OG. Nah. He be flowing, Paul. He be like, getting his shit off. It be nice. And he shot us out before.
Starting point is 00:20:38 That's love. I fuck with OG. Oh, for real? Yeah. He tapped in. Watch your shots. He fuck with us. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:20:43 That's dope. Nah, he be saying some fly stuff. And I seen him pregame trying to get that baseline jump shot off. After I seen a mean jump shot, I'm happy somebody in the NBA broadcast was watching too. Yeah, because a mean shit was nasty.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Hell nah. I can't wait till we clip that out. Who shoot worse, him or Stephen Smith? Oh, give me Stephen A over there. Oh, for real? Yeah, Stephen A in the 2X dress pants. Wow. Him and MJ.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Steven A style should be fire. It's on purpose. Nah, shout out to Steven A. There's no schmutz on your name over here, bro. Nah, Steven A the GOAT. Yeah. We can't wait to have you over there. Boy, that ESPN wardrobe they got between him and Perk is filthy.
Starting point is 00:21:24 K&G Mismar all the way down. Man, Perk about it. Shout out to Perk. I ain't seen Perk in a minute, so I ain't watch ESPN like that no more. Ain't that crazy
Starting point is 00:21:35 how that shit's just not really like as big as it was a few years ago or even like 10 years ago. Everything changed in media, bro. Nobody watches Schwarzenegger no more. You know what happened. No, no shade.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Like, I'm glad they was able to come together, but it was better when Skip and Shannon was going with they shit and then Stephen A and them would do it. It was like a, it's like, I'ma put it in wrestling terms. It was like when WCW and WWE was going back and forth. It gave you something like, oh shit, they going back and forth with it. Now that like, oh, shit, they going back and forth with it. Now that they all together,
Starting point is 00:22:07 well, Stephen A and Shannon together and Skip's shit kind of fell off. It ain't... I don't really wake up and... Yeah, niggas was... First, it was the ticker. Niggas used to look for the ticker. Then we actually started paying attention
Starting point is 00:22:19 to the actual show. So, I feel like that shit really ain't even a thing no more. Nah. Boy, niggas used to look forward to seeing the highlights with Sky Van Pelt
Starting point is 00:22:29 talking about the games and shit. But now, we have Twitter and that shit happens in 10 minutes so we don't have to wait no more.
Starting point is 00:22:35 I think the whole streaming shit fucked up cable TV too because we started buying stuff in different places. We got the stuff that we actually cared about
Starting point is 00:22:43 not all these packages. False. So now, don't nobody watch that shit no more. Because I'm not paying $75 for cable. And Netflix. And Disney Plus. And Hulu. Hell nah.
Starting point is 00:22:53 But it was better when, like, even like, what, last year when I would wake up and I would hear Skip and Shannon. I could wake up and I'd be like, oh, damn, what they saying? Fuck it. I'm about to go see what Stephen A said. If Stephen A said something better to the shit they talking about, I knew Shannon was going to love LeBron, Skip was going to hate LeBron. Then I knew I was going to hit on Stephen A. Stephen A was going to give you the real about LeBron on some backstory
Starting point is 00:23:17 about Clutch or some shit. So it used to still kind of make me want to wake up and listen to him. But now that Stephen A and Shannon both like LeBron, I mean, they'll go back and forth. It ain't the same. You know, it's crazy because now you got Paul Pierce up there with Skip, and that's not even fair to Paul Pierce. Yeah, it ain't.
Starting point is 00:23:35 It ain't even giving him a chance to really cook because we obviously see that shit's declining. Yeah. Shout out to media, man. The new media. Shout out to Draymond, the new media. I mean, he's silly for that one. That's to media, man. The new media. Shout out to Draymond. The new media. I mean, he's silly for that one. That's a bar, though. But he didn't lie, though.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Everybody has a source of their own shit that they can talk about. And a lot of people care more about other people's opinion than theirs. Yeah, and now if you really want to tap in, like, learn basketball now, now LeBron and JJ and Bron got a podcast where you tap into basketball for real, for real. And it's great. Like, that's the kind of, like, listening to that, I tell anybody that's playing basketball, any young guy who, like, got a problem, like, with a coach or how they talk, like, listen to that. And it's going to tell you how hard you need to work, how you need to be, have an IQ to play this game
Starting point is 00:24:25 and stuff like that. And you're hearing it from the best player to ever play. Bro, that first episode is fire to me. And like,
Starting point is 00:24:32 if you don't like basketball in that intricate type of way, it won't be for you. Like, it ain't a club 520 show. You don't cut that shit right off. Yeah. But just to listen,
Starting point is 00:24:40 I'm like, that's crazy to hear niggas break down. So it's like everything, it ain't innovative, obviously, but just to hear it, especially for them two, because JJ don't get enough crazy to hear niggas break down. So, like, everything, it ain't innovative, obviously, but just to hear it, especially for them two,
Starting point is 00:24:49 because JJ don't get enough credit for how well he talks about basketball. Nah, he's a great basketball mind, and LeBron is one of the best basketball minds ever. I think he the smartest basketball player ever, bro. By far, yeah. And Trey, you my dog, but we got beef, man, because when we was talking about conversations and some things coming from, you know what I'm saying, JJ's camp, you did not tell me
Starting point is 00:25:05 it was fucking LeBron. Yeah. He said a possibility or something and niggas looked up on that flight seat LeBron in the podcast and said, shit.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Yeah, that's crazy. But that's like the best. That's a whole different lane. That's a whole different. Like, if you was expecting any of that from basketball from us. Had the wrong show.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Yeah, you had the wrong show. We gonna laugh at basketball but this is basketball and freak niggas yeah it's freak niggas basketball
Starting point is 00:25:30 and comedy all in one wild drinking Henderson yeah we this is anything
Starting point is 00:25:38 but that just a little bit of it yeah but LeBron what LeBron and JJ do, what they did with that, bro,
Starting point is 00:25:47 it's, as a basketball hoop head, as somebody who really loved a game like that. I knew you would love that shit. Nah, I loved it. Sponsored that shit for sure.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Come on, bro, I was tapped in. I started talking with him. Like, yeah, you got to switch on that back screen and send the,
Starting point is 00:25:59 yeah, I started talking to the phone. I'm like, yeah. And it's just crazy that y'all niggas is in the NBA, but Bron, how he said, I was watching. I'm like, yeah. And it's just crazy that y'all niggas is in the NBA, but Brian, how he said, I was watching,
Starting point is 00:26:07 he was like, shit, the basics, the basics of the shit, nigga. Coach could be like running a play. I'd be like running on the other side. This nigga's in the NBA. They'd be like, bro,
Starting point is 00:26:15 I don't know how to. Nah, that's a fact. I'm like, damn, bro. You as a point guard, that can never be you. You got to think for, we going to get off this basketball shit because then we're going to start sounding like them. You got to think for, we're going to get off this basketball shit because then we're going to start sounding like them.
Starting point is 00:26:26 You got to think for everybody on the court. So, like, my dad used to tell me, you got to think for the nine other players on the court. So, that's the five defensive players and the four offensive players. You got to think for them. Yeah. So, as a point guard,
Starting point is 00:26:38 that's how you got to look at the game. Like, because you got to think, they don't know what the fuck you're doing. And then you got to think your teammates don't know what they're doing. So, when we used to run plays when I was little, my dad was always telling me that, like, you got to know everybody's position. So, I'm going to put you in everybody's position so you can tell them what to do on the court. So, I'll run center, point guard, small forward, shooting guard, power forward.
Starting point is 00:26:58 And I knew everything about the game. And now when you try to relate that to kids now, like he said, you got to put them in one spot. If you flip that thing, like on the fly, you're wilding. So as a coach, I know that now because I was so used to being up here with the game. My IQ was a little higher. I could do that on the fly. Now as a coach, I'm realizing everybody can't do that.
Starting point is 00:27:23 And y'all got the nerve to be complaining about pipe be grateful I know you played off five positions like me I'm supposed to see me play
Starting point is 00:27:31 shout out to Papa T they said you only played the five I had a I had a sticker on my jersey like they do
Starting point is 00:27:40 in football I was the they said you started at the five bro we can move on George Hill told me you sell him screens you were the first don't let me get on his head doing football. I was a mixed-up team. He said, you started at the five, bro. We can move on. George Hill told me you set him screen and you was the first.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Don't let me get on his head. Nah, shout out to G. G Hill, bro. Hey, Derrick Fakes, G Hill need to come on the show, but he came to the city and didn't fuck with us. There's no surprise.
Starting point is 00:28:00 It ain't no beef, bro. I just said I bust your ass. Hey, you killed me when you was in Utah too, bro. Like, shit. Come on. He know it's all love. He ain't fucked up about it. I just said I bust your ass. Hey, you killed me when you was in Utah too, bro. Like, shit. Come on. He know it's all love. He ain't fucked up about it.

Starting point is 00:32:40 My nigga Tyree's going through it right now. I told you JB was like that, though. He is. I've never doubted it. I fucked with Jalen Brusty even when he was in Dallas. They should have kept him. Should have paid him. And he's on one of the
Starting point is 00:32:50 best contracts in the NBA. For sure. And he is killing shit right now. So niggas is saying that JB is better than Hella Burton.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Shout out to Lil' Phil. Lil' Phil, fuck with you. I don't agree. Lil' Phil was pumping that. I don't agree, but I have to respect it right now. My nigga highly going through it right now. And Jalen is still fucking killing.
Starting point is 00:33:12 But I got to respect it. What's Tyrese's problem, though? Because he's out there. So we say he's hurt. I get that, but he's out there. I don't think it's all injury. I just think that he's in a— Honestly, simply put, he's not playing well right now.
Starting point is 00:33:24 The Pacers have not responded. When we play bad teams, we are a bad team. When we play a good team, we're a decent team. So at this point, we're just a mediocre team. I think a lot of changes need to come this offseason. They need to make decisions about the front court. I don't think that Rick Carlisle needs to be our head coach anymore. I think he needs to go into the front office.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Shit just changed so fast. Yeah, that's what happens, bro. That boy tapped into J.J. Reddy. Quick! Hey, man. This, that's what happens, bro. That boy tapped into JJ Reddy. Quick! Hey, man. This nigga fires more fucking people, bro, than Amazon. You let more motherfuckers go.
Starting point is 00:33:53 DJ has fired the motherfucking janitor, the ball boy. Buddy Hill. Buddy Hill definitely got fired. Twice. No regrets. He like, you know what? DJ the fuck nigga from the Six fired. Twice. No regrets. See, he like, you know what? Some bonus.
Starting point is 00:34:08 DJ the fuck nigga from the Sixers. Yeah. The nigga that said, nah, Pat, we're going to get you back, bro. Oh, nigga. Oh, you got me. Yeah, you the real Daryl. Yeah, you the real Daryl.
Starting point is 00:34:21 DJ Wills, you know his first name. Damn, that's great. Some scambler niggas. Childs and Pops. All right, bro. So what? Okay,, that's great. Some scantily niggas. Child's a pops. All right, bro. Okay, so what's next then? What you think is next? What you think y'all got to do to turn shit around then?
Starting point is 00:34:36 For real, for real, I think we have to get a coach that fits our players. Like, Rick is a great basketball mom, but the direct correlation with these young players, it's not there no more. Just like with a lot of coaches in this league. You need to get somebody who can kind of relate to the young guns, let them rock out a little bit, and they still got to address that small forward position.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Pascal has been amazing for us. I mean, he don't make a lot of headlines, like people won't, but he still get 20 and 10, and he be showing up in games when need him. Miles has been playing well.
Starting point is 00:34:58 We need a young rim runner, and we need a legit small forward. That's it. And a coach. I think we'll be decent next year, but this year, we looking like playing and we playing like playing,
Starting point is 00:35:06 so I can't say shit about it, but I got to show my respect. The Knicks are going crazy and they killing without Julius Randle and OG and O. That's because they got Tom Thibodeau. Come on, bro.
Starting point is 00:35:16 You know how I feel about Tibbs. He going to play you to death. Shout out to Josh Hart. That's working all his mileage. 48 months. Hey, but you going to get paid and he going to play you to death. That's one thing I respect about Tibbs. He love you. He going to get paid. And he's going to play you to death. That's one thing I respect about Tim.
Starting point is 00:35:26 If he loves you, he's going to make sure you get paid. Because you're going to play enough minutes to get paid. Oh, you damn sure right. Look, he got that boy out there like an 06 Charger. Nigga got about 180 miles in four games. That's a fact. Josh Hart is killing. But listen, you're going to get your one big contract.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Because you're going to be so fucked up after four years because Tim's going to play you 42. It's 48. You playing 42. Him, he playing 48. But I respect it. But I told y'all, Jalen Brunson, bro, he come from that. Like, he cut for that. He a dog.
Starting point is 00:35:58 He a dog, bro. I seen it, bro. I told you he almost tore my ACL when he was in Dallas, bro. He hit me with a jab step, bro. His pops was our coach. Hit me with a jab, nigga. you he almost tore my ACL when he was in Dallas bro he hit me with a jab step bro his pops was our coach hit me with a jab nigga I damn near
Starting point is 00:36:09 tore my shit and hit the jumper and I looked at the bench and he said I told you quit fucking with that little nigga man he ready
Starting point is 00:36:14 I said shit fuck it fucked up my career little chubby nigga M&D Fox got you up got you up out of there
Starting point is 00:36:24 I was still cool after that jab. I was still me. I was still moving around. Because, you know what I mean? I had dunked on De'Aaron Fox the year before. And then, I can look it up. I crossed him over, dunked on him. Then the next year, he came and tried to end my shit.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Came back with a bitch. Yeah, I said, I'm going to go ahead and move to the bench after this. Yeah. Slid down that damn chart. Yeah, I said, I'm going to go ahead and move to the bench after this. Yeah. Slid down that damn chart. Yeah, I slid down fast. Boy, they didn't send me to Atlanta, boy. You know when you get behind that, but for you,
Starting point is 00:36:54 it played a bit. Trey Young. Why they get them top ass doing like this with the tail? I was over there like this. Magic? You said, text me.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Text me, I'm going to Magic. The Devil Zero Hawks jersey. I'm in a crowd. Shout out to my nigga, Keese. Keese, you gonna wear it?
Starting point is 00:37:19 That nigga's not telling no Keese, Keese. I'm sorry, Keese. Keese and Phil be getting some crazy shout outs last year, so I'm just gonna say that ain't me, my niggas. Nah, we ain't playing no keys, keys. I'm sorry, keys. Keys and Phil be getting some crazy shots last year.
Starting point is 00:37:25 I'm just going to say that. It ain't me, my niggas. Nah, me and one player, though. Shit, we're at the park yet. We going where? Steve-O. Going where? It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Shout out to my nigga Steve-O. I think it's set in place. The Lord got a table for us. Say less. Shout out to the Lord. Beautiful place. Black history. Oh, man. Hey, man. Shout out to Isaiah Thomas getting back in the NBA, man. Yeah out to Allure. Beautiful place. Black history. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Hey, man. Shout out to Isaiah Thomas getting back in the NBA, man. Yeah, that's dope. I think that needs to be respected a lot more. We got a lot of people who go through the G League, and a lot of vets don't value or respect the opportunity. But for him to grind it out after injury he's had and the career he's had to get back to the league
Starting point is 00:38:01 says a lot about him, man. You got to show respect. Because he be getting dogged. I remember they be talking about this stuff on Twitter. Like, he a reposted team. Like, hey, give me a shot type shit. And niggas used to make fun of him for that. But guess what?
Starting point is 00:38:12 That shit worked out for that nigga. I'm proud of that shit. That nigga made the NBA three times. And that's tough. That's unheard of. He got drafted, made it. Went through his injury, came back, went to the G League, made it. Did it again and made it, did it again,
Starting point is 00:38:25 and made it again. That's impressive, bro. And at his age, I'm sure he's probably like 33, maybe 34, to go through the G League, kill again, and get back in the league
Starting point is 00:38:34 where he belong. It's dope to see. And then go to a veteran team with the Suns that's going to show some respect to him. He's going to get a chance. He's probably going to get
Starting point is 00:38:41 a chance to rock out. I wouldn't be surprised. And they're going through a little injury crisis, so there's a couple people that's gonna get a chance to rock out. I wouldn't be surprised. And they going through a little injury, Kysher. So, let's couple people with us out right now. Let him finish the year out, for sure.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Oh, yeah, for sure, man. I mean, I know he on 10 to 8, but I would really love to see Alex Hadtham at Skechers Grove again and get to play in the playoffs. That'd be a lot. And the dopest part for me
Starting point is 00:38:57 is when he was talking about, like, they asking, like, why he was doing it, he was just like, my kid is like, my teenage kid is old enough to see me go through this. So, me not quitting
Starting point is 00:39:05 is an example for them. And fuck all the wins and losses because that nigga won because he's rich and made it to the NBA. His family straight, he changing his lineage. But to have an example like that
Starting point is 00:39:14 is something we don't have a lot. And that shit's fire as fuck to me. Well, he inspired me. He inspired a lot of people. Like seeing him fight for something like that. Like me, i gave up i was more realistic with myself like yo i don't got that fight that he got and like for him to go
Starting point is 00:39:30 through an injury like he did get a hip replacement all that stuff and uh still fight because that's his dream that's what he loved to do he loved to hoop i was like damn that's hard like damn he it kind of inspired you to do like damn so i'm like'm like, damn, when we come in here, let's go harder. Let's try to get two or three episodes out. Let's get some great, better content because this is something
Starting point is 00:39:50 I'm passionate about now. And then he had me out there trying to hoop again. I said, fuck, he can do it. Then I looked at, I said,
Starting point is 00:39:57 damn, these ankles and knees ain't the same. That hip, he got good surgery because of my surgery. Shay Sharp need to get his surgery. Yeah, Shay Sharp, to get his surgery. Yeah, Shannon Sharp.

Starting point is 01:10:28 UConn still good. UConn still good, bro. UConn still, but I'm saying it's more teams because it's spread out. Then you got USC with Shorty over there. Shouts to Juju. Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 01:10:37 I don't know. Like, you see LA good this year? Mm-hmm. It's a whole bunch of teams. It's spread out now, so now it's a little more competition. UConn ain't won a national championship in a couple years. Fact. So, it's good. It's good whole bunch of teams. Like, it's spread out now. So now it's a little more competition. UConn ain't won a national championship in a couple years. Fact.
Starting point is 01:10:46 So it's good. It's good for the game. I never thought, honestly, bro, I never thought girls basketball would be as elite as it is now. Me either. Like, they are cold. And there's no disrespect. I'm just saying how it was going for so long. Nigga, we in our 30s and we just now like, oh, they cold, cold.

Starting point is 01:11:39 They from the city. Jessica's daughter, she cold. Yeah, Cam and them. Yeah, for sure. Tap 10. Yeah, man, I think the way that they, especially how they did the bracket for the women this year,
Starting point is 01:11:48 we're going to get a lot of cold games, especially like Sweet 16 on. Like, then we're going to be, if things check out how they're supposed to, like juggernaut matchups, which is fire. It's sad that we at the point where I want to watch the girls tournament
Starting point is 01:11:58 before I want to watch the boys. Like, bro, it's been like the last five years. I look at them like the men should be cool, but it's like, yeah, out the way. Like, this is real. I think it's because of the energy too. Yeah I look at them like the men should be cool, but it's like, yeah, out the way.
Starting point is 01:12:05 Like, this is real. I think it's because of the energy, too. Yeah, but speaking of the boys, like, who do y'all want to see in the tournament this year? Like, is there anybody that y'all, like, looking forward to? I mean, like, damn, I can't wait to see if he go crazy. I say Rob, but he kind of already a star now. Y'all know how I fall off when it comes to that point. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:12:22 I just want to see good games because, honestly the game, the men's game, don't have as many stars, especially in the last couple years. Like, they've had prior, like, outside of Zion and them, a little bit, a couple people after that, we haven't had any really for real, for real, polarizing figures in college basketball. We have a few, but not enough spread apart where it's like, oh, I can't wait to see that. Now
Starting point is 01:12:40 it's just like, alright, first weekend is normal. We want to see upsets go crazy, and then we want the best possible outcome for Final Four. What I hate is that the NCAA never put the best teams in the tournament. Mm.
Starting point is 01:12:51 Like, if you got a, if you in a big conference, like, Indiana State should have made the tournament. Indiana State got robbed. Pittsburgh should have
Starting point is 01:12:59 made the tournament. Like, it's a couple of teams that should have made it. For sure. Yeah, and Indiana State definitely should have made it.
Starting point is 01:13:04 But it's like, teams like that, if you're not in a power five conference, you kind of get left out if you don't win your conference tournament. And it's like, damn, some of these teams are ass. I just watched Virginia. Terrible. Fucking stink it up. You telling me that they're a better team than Iowa State? I mean, Indiana State?
Starting point is 01:13:20 They didn't score for 52 minutes in real time. That's disgusting, bro. So, nigga, imagine not scoring, and you in the game, you ain't scored for a real-life hour. Bitch, Indiana State would have fucking scored. That's crazy, but it's like— It's all situational, though, too. But you don't get that in a women's game.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Nope. Like, if your team is 22-2, 22-4, you in the tournament. And you like— Because there's so many ass teams, too, though, bro. Yeah, but these teams is ass. Y'all hear these niggas be ass, too. Yeah, I just don't like that about the men's game. And it's cool.
Starting point is 01:13:50 That's why. And we was wrong about our last take that that tournament for the million dollars, that's before. That's a. That's why I asked y'all. I didn't know nothing about that. It's not an after season tournament. It's a before.
Starting point is 01:14:02 It's like a Maui invitation and all that shit. That was a hypothetical situation Because they hadn't Really officially said That But I know they said As an alternative as possible But as a Maui tournament
Starting point is 01:14:11 I mean that's Even more funny Yeah Of course who wouldn't do that shit Yeah come on bro But like I said From a hypothetical standpoint If you could take those teams
Starting point is 01:14:19 And play in that tournament And they can really get that bag And there ain't no hard feelings I guarantee you You'll see that transition For sure Who is y'all favorite College player of all time? I know who yours is that tournament and they can really get that bag and there ain't no hard feelings, I guarantee you you'll see that transition. For sure.

Starting point is 01:18:56 I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna sit my head and see. For college. When y'all played us, y'all was getting 25 foot on y'all. Easy. That's crazy. Now that's crazy now that you look
Starting point is 01:19:07 and you look at those games like they had a list on Twitter they was going through like ranking the stars and it was one team bro that had hold on I'm about to find it man
Starting point is 01:19:14 it was a crazy ass list of players that they had going against each other and it was funny seeing the young niggas to choose this hold on I gotta find this shit
Starting point is 01:19:20 it is funny it was like three teams that they pitted against each other I gotta find it like you think it It's like Three teams That they pitted Against each other I gotta find it Like You think it's funny
Starting point is 01:19:28 Cause it's like We played I played Jimmer In college Yeah You know what I'm saying So people be like Jimmer was killing
Starting point is 01:19:33 I played him You was way better Than Jimmer for that though I played him twice Cook session But I'm saying That's why I said I had 30 in BYU
Starting point is 01:19:41 You know what I'm saying Right Niggas was tapping Cause we knew you But I'm saying like Why I Niggas was tapped in because we knew you. But I'm saying like, why I say I put you above him too because he was the Cinderella. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:52 No disrespect, but you know what I'm saying? He was pushed. That narrative was. The great white hope. Yeah. He was supposed to be the next one. But I ain't gonna lie.
Starting point is 01:20:00 He was fucking killing. No, clip crazy. Pause. But I'm saying like, you were a way better basketball player. He was promoted as the next big thing
Starting point is 01:20:10 for the NBA. Yeah, yeah. And shit just, you know. So I found the teams. The first team is Steph. It's all college-based too. Steph,
Starting point is 01:20:18 Melo, Westbrook, KD, Blake Griffin. Second team, AD, MB, Jalen Brunson, D-Book, Kimba. Nah. Third group, Zion, Jason Tatum, Trey Young, Chad Holmgren, and Ja Morant.
Starting point is 01:20:39 And all the young niggas was picking three and two. I said, do y'all know that one would be the— Oh, this is just random teams. Yeah, this is just Mike. All I say is Westbrook don't like that. I'm taking Jeff over Ja Morant in college.
Starting point is 01:20:49 No, no, no, no, no. Sleep, bro. That conference was weak, bro. That conference was weak. But what he... If you didn't play them niggas... Yeah, we did in the Missouri by a couple of times.
Starting point is 01:20:58 He was averaging, what? Them that were double-double? Yeah. He was getting active. Yeah. That nigga was different. Bro, if you'd have went to Murray State, bro,
Starting point is 01:21:05 there's no disrespect, bro. I ain't gonna lie. I would have shot enough for third. Yeah, I don't got you to kill, bro. Murray State would have been like, bro, what I'm saying? I saw Isaiah Kennedy go first. Yeah, I would have got third.
Starting point is 01:21:15 But, what I'm saying. I'm picking you over John Morant, bro. Because, nigga, you really played in the ACC, bro. That nigga could take nights off. You could not take no nights off, bro. Nah, that was murderous.
Starting point is 01:21:26 You had even teams like Boston College. You had to prepare a nigga to hoop. They all had D1 guards. Yeah, bro. You feel me? I'm nothing.
Starting point is 01:21:33 Reggie Jackson. Yeah. He's one of those... John Moran is one of those niggas that I'm saying, like, bro, in college basketball, March Madness,
Starting point is 01:21:43 we look for a team like that. We want to see a nigga from goddamn it, Indiana State, Murray State, Cleveland State. Go crazy. And then you end up as a lottery pick
Starting point is 01:21:54 and have a great NBA career. That's like the downfall of going, like, you got two benefits of going from high major and mid major. Like, if you go to a high major, you get a benefit because you play
Starting point is 01:22:05 against this competition all the time. And you're on TV. And you're on TV, and scouts go to the game. But then as a mid-major, if you, like, going crazy and you killing these mid-major people and you play a couple of high-major teams and you kill, they like, whoo! It's like we missed on him.
Starting point is 01:22:24 Like, the high major missed on him, and he's killing. And then you go to the tournament, and you have a game where you get 35 people like, oh, he was the one. And you go to get picked to these high teams, and you get an opportunity. Like, not saying they ain't cold. They cold, obviously. But they get a chance to, like, go and show their skill set. And they get to kill
Starting point is 01:22:45 Get to do what they want But if you on a high major Like some of these dudes Like DJ Wagner this year DJ Wagner went to Murray State right now Seton Hall nigga He'd be averaging
Starting point is 01:22:57 Top 10 25 And motherfuckers be like That motherfucking damn Number one pick Number two pick But he went to Kentucky With a whole bunch of other good players. And now he falling to the 30s, the 40s.
Starting point is 01:23:11 And it's going to be somebody from a smaller school. That's going to be looking at him like, yeah, he better than DJ Wagner. And that's not the truth. And you know what? Gilbert Arenas brought this up recently. When he was talking about his son, he was just like, fuck the NIL shit. And I didn't send my kid to a Sierra Can because I put him in a place to where he had to perform
Starting point is 01:23:26 every single night. He's like, well, he's going to get double. He's going to get triple team. So it don't matter even if he playing against left side competition, he got to show up
Starting point is 01:23:33 and hoop every single night because we aiming to be a lottery pick. Like you said, when you go to them other teams, you got good players, you have to share the ball and you don't get to really
Starting point is 01:23:42 showcase your game. But sometimes that hinder you too. But like you said, at tournament spotlight, like we look with LSU, Tyrus Thomas got drafted because he had two good games
Starting point is 01:23:49 in tournament. Yeah, facts. That shit, I know the million dollar tournament make a difference, but that spotlight for them kids that ain't going to get that spotlight is a million dollar opportunity too.
Starting point is 01:23:58 You look at CJ McCollum, he's cold. He went to Lehigh. He killed Duke. He's top 10 pick. And CJ McCollum, one of the coldest players ever. Obviously they missed and CJ McCollum one of the coldest players ever
Starting point is 01:24:05 obviously they missed on him cause he's one of the coldest players in the NBA he leaves the store he's cold but he gets a chance because they miss
Starting point is 01:24:15 he kills Duke and we hate Duke so it made it 30 times better and it's like whoa CJ McCollum got game he already had game
Starting point is 01:24:21 people are always looking at him but then you go play against a Duke and you kill them it's like oh he's solidified like that's happened to me my freshman year we was ass got game. He already had game. People are always looking at him. But then you go play against the Duke and you kill them. It's like, oh, he's solidified. Like, that's happened to me.
Starting point is 01:24:27 My freshman year, we was ass. I get 26 against Duke. People telling me, you should leave. You're going to be a first round pick. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then my second year,
Starting point is 01:24:36 I kill North Carolina. They like, oh, he's gone. And I wasn't even thinking about the NBA but off of killing them two teams, it's like, oh, he can play. Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 01:24:44 So imagine if you're a guy who's averaging 22, 23 in a mid-major, and then you go play Alabama, Texas, or something, and you go for 30. It's like, yeah. It's Christmas. This motherfucker gets around some better players, he gonna be. It's all lost potential. Yeah, it's a give and a take, for sure. So, like, DJ Wagner would have went, I don't know where he from, Jersey?
Starting point is 01:25:08 Yeah. He stay in the East Coast and like you said, go to a seating hall, go to Rutgers or something. That's up. Maybe top five right now. But now he went to a Kentucky where it's spotlight, spotlight. And you got Rob Dillingham, Reed Shepard, who potentially could be number one pick.
Starting point is 01:25:23 Rob Dillingham can be number one pick then you got the other nigga the left hand nigga who was supposed to be a top three player he going down because he out of Kentucky with all these
Starting point is 01:25:34 it's just like and I seen it with my brother that's why I'm like Cincinnati move would have been different move go to IU Indiana State
Starting point is 01:25:43 Cincinnati Cincinnati Bearcat move yeah he top five pick he go to IU, Indiana State, Cincinnati. Birdcat Moot. Yeah, he top five pick. He go to Kentucky with 10 other people with these spotlight. It look a little different.
Starting point is 01:25:52 So, you know what I mean? It's a give and a take. So, that's why I think college basketball for the women's side is spreading out.
Starting point is 01:25:58 It's going to end up happening for the men's side because they're seeing too many people fall by the wayside because of that. DJ Wagner came in and was supposed to be the number one pick literally bro literally bro dick's commercials nike deal like yeah like if that don't what y'all doing with y'all son though
Starting point is 01:26:16 your son is a top five player top five small i'm gonna just pan it out for y'all. Orion going up. Six, seven. Orion is going to where Freak Nick got cracking at. Anywhere in Florida. Shout out to my nigga, Oski. Oski. But where is your son? Where are you sending your son to? Six, seven, small, four. Top five player in the country.
Starting point is 01:26:45 Top five player in the country. Top five player in the country. Are you going to send him to with another great guard out of UK or are you going to send him to Overtime. Straight out of Overtime. Overtime Elite.
Starting point is 01:26:55 Next, Amir Thompson and them. Yeah, that's how it is. Y'all know how I feel about Overtime. That ain't a bad choice. They do have that option now. I didn't even think about that. You know how I feel about OTE. So OTE is one.
Starting point is 01:27:04 I'm going to Overtime. They're not going to Louisville option now. I didn't even think about that. You know how I feel about OT. So OT is one. I'm going to overtime. They're not going to Louisville right now. Reese. OT it is, kid. You know how I feel about OT because you're going to go there. You're going to prepare yourself. You're going to train with ex-NBA coaches. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:18 You got the GM of overtime, Damian Wilkins. Long NBA career. Know what it takes to get there. His son, Raw, Wilkins. Long NBA career. Know what it takes to get there. Raw too. You going there. We ain't even playing with this college shit
Starting point is 01:27:30 because like DJ Wagner go to college. We all know he talented. Cole. Cole. Can do all this shit on the basketball court. You go there,
Starting point is 01:27:38 you got to fuck with coaches who want you to do this, do that. You're not doing that. We done with college. O.T., man. O.T., I ain't damn. I didn't even think about
Starting point is 01:27:49 that being an option. That's a great choice, for sure. NIL, we're going to train our year. Let's get it. Yeah, we done with college. What we doing, bro? I ain't about to play around with them. And don't be young
Starting point is 01:27:58 because we might reclassify. Yeah, we done with college. It's like, why? I'm going to go there and you're going to mess up what I got going on. Now I got to compete against a dude who do everything right in practice and I'm really a hooper. I'm an NBA player, really. Like Gilbert Arena, son. No, I hope. I don't try. You know, I don't speak on people's kids. But the way he trained, the way he practiced,
Starting point is 01:28:19 the way he worked, and the shots he shoot in high school, he not doing that shit in no college system. He shoots over three people. He make it. And he cold. But he practicing to be in the NBA. He not working out to be at Kentucky
Starting point is 01:28:37 or Arizona. Right. He not going to fit that. He training to be an NBA. His dad was an NBA player. He training him to be an NBA player. Like, it'll be pointless
Starting point is 01:28:45 for him to go to college because he, like LeBron, son, it was pointless for him to go to fucking USA. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:28:52 he not trained for that to work in a system to be like that. Like, Bronny going to be a good NBA player because he can guard. He going to make
Starting point is 01:29:02 an open shot. He know the game. He know the schemes and shit. He know shit that's advanced for college. College, nigga, you just got to play hard and fucking run through a wall for your coach. I love the guy who will die for me. That's what it is. You go look at
Starting point is 01:29:17 Purdue, it's a bunch of motherfuckers who just lift all the weights. They're not going to be good in the NBA, bro. You know what's crazy? You get pill-offs for being a good player. Like, if DJ Wagner was selfish
Starting point is 01:29:30 and went out there and wanted to shoot and get the stats, I'm sure he could be that. But he knows how to play the game, so he playing the right way and listen to his coaching staff and that hurts him
Starting point is 01:29:37 and that's fucked up. Yeah, that's why I would've, he should've went to OTE. But shout out to him and his pop, they'd be all right. He gonna come back next year and do his thing.
Starting point is 01:29:44 I think about kids like, what's out to him and his pop. They'd be all right. I think about kids like, what's my guy? J.D. Davidson. Man. Dumb bounce. Number one player in the country. He goes to Alabama. He got fit in the college system. Now he goes second round.
Starting point is 01:29:59 Now his career, his trajectory is all fucked up. He go to OTE, he's still a mystery a little bit. People go catch out your games, you still doing the shit you do good.
Starting point is 01:30:11 You get to play how you want to play, they going to cater to what you do. He's probably a top 10 pick. True. And now he's special.
Starting point is 01:30:19 You know what I mean? Now he doing shit because he really an NBA player. It's just me. And that's the fucked up part, T, is that you can be an NBA player. It's just me. That's what Imani Bane should have did. And that's the fucked up part, T, is that you can be the same player, but the way that information is on you and how people view you
Starting point is 01:30:31 or push you in a situation changes everything. Because niggas don't get worse. And a lot of times niggas don't get better. But if you put them in certain situations to be seen, bro, you can market it. Y'all know I was a scout, so I was able. Yeah, I'm pouring up. You was a scout? Yeah, I was a scout.
