The tank tops. The hoodie. I don't see him going back to commercial retail ever again, bro. That's pretty dope, though.

It's crazy because he was really always right, regardless of him being crazy. Yeah. He was always right. Everything fashion-wise, he was always right. Most influential artists ever bro i've been saying this for years oh easily um especially in like the black community when it comes to like that type of fashion street wear that type of stuff bro between him and pharrell they covered a lot of bases yeah and it's like to see pharrell do the louis shit you know i'm saying

rp divergent but like it's just dope to see that like the Pusha T and the Clipse reunion, why they doing the Louis Vuitton fashion show, it's crazy. Speaking of the fashion industry, shout out to my people over at SLS. Shout out to my boy Eric for the shoelaces. I appreciate you, Nash. The shoe is on the way for shit show. Okay.

Okay. Yeah, that's my guy. They really looked out. I was kind of shocked. They made me some laces that was hard i appreciate that shout out the corporate for my jays um with y'all yeah always looking out oh yeah the threes them them tough them tough now listen we were talking about that that leather in so boy that ain't a summertime shoe a lot of niggas gonna be slipping and sliding them threes

boy it's too damn hot outside nah it Nah, it's been heating up right here. Nah, for sure. The best thing about recording on draft day is that we get to have all the crazy shit that happens in the NBA in real time. I'm going to be checking my phone during this episode because I feel like a lot of people about to spaz out. Because after that, Mikael Bridges trade from yesterday, I don't know how today going to go. Nova Knicks. That shit is crazy. That's hard, bro.

You get to play with all your homeboys. And the NBA, bro. And all of y'all are good. Yeah. Like, you know what? They building the perfect team to beat Boston. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

God, think about it. Boston got all them wing perimeter players that made it hell for everybody to guard. Like, they got Derrick White, Drew Holiday, the Tatum, the Jays, whatever you want to call them, Tatum and Jalen. That make you hard to play against when you got everybody who can dribble past you. Now the Knicks got that. Yep.

Bronson, DiVincenzo, Bridges, Hart. And now if you keep – they ain't going to be able to keep Hardenstein. They ain't. They got to trade Julius Randle, though. Look, I ain't even going to get on my Knicks hate because y'all know what it is. We beat y'all games in there after crib. Y'all suck. But I feel like they have to trade Julius Randle because you have to keep Isaiah Hardenstein.

Yeah, you got to. They got to figure out a way to get rid of Julius. And I don't know if they keep OG. They got to bring OG back. That's the only way it works. That's the only way it works. They bring OG back. OG is a must. Yeah, you That's the only way it works. They bring OG back. OG is a must.

Yeah, you can get rid of Randall. And I'll show you, to Randall, I think he's a good player. But you get rid of him and bring OG, you got a better balance. But the only thing with Randall is he a bona fide scorer. And they didn't have a second bona fide scorer. So you might need him. You know what? I think that's when my clash in the whole thing of who they keep

or who saves because I feel like McHale Bridges obviously can get buckets, but he's not a bucket. He's going to get his 19, but he's a good catch and shoot. Obviously, he's going to finish in the paint, run the floor. But is he a better scorer than Julius Randle, Iso? No. And like you said, there's going to be a point where they need that. But how much do you need it if you got Jalen playing the way he playing

and then everybody else is low-key kind of getting open shots now that everybody healthy? Yeah, but I don't know how long they can sustain it. Josh Hart, he's not really a bucket getter. He's a glue guy. He do everything. Devin Chinsu is a knockdown shooter. He can get high and score for you.

But if Jalen having a a bad game who can you throw the ball to at one point i thought you could do that with michael bridges but i don't know last year he ain't really show that but you know one thing julius randall can do is score i hate it i hate i hate the way it look but shit he score real shout out to jr i'll let y'all go on y'all rent you feel me char? Always trying to trade and fire a motherfucker, but they need him. So if you ain't getting,

if it don't make sense, keep him, bro. I mean, listen, to me, I think that Double, double machine. I think that you need Isaiah Hardenstein more than you need

Julius Randle, but I still think, obviously, Julius Randle's a very talented player. On that team, if you don't get OG, yeah, you good to go. But if you have to pick between them two, I mean,

that's a hell of a decision to make because I think that salary could count a way to keep both of them. But, shit, as much as they gave up for them, Bridges is crazy. The Nets, poverty franchise, man. The Nets just be doing shit. They just be doing shit. I mean, they got a great deal for Michael Bridges. No, for sure.

All their fucking first-round picks. They set the—the Knicks set them—I mean, but I ain't mad at the Knicks for doing that. I would definitely do it, too. Fuck them picks. We gonna be good. Our picks ain't gonna matter. And all our guys are young. Yeah.

Michael young. All them. All four of them. Yeah, all them young. Yeah, they young. They gonna be around for a while. That's when they rebuild shit. They gonna be like how Philly was. Nah, they— With the going to be around for a while. That's on their rebuild shit. They going to be like how Philly was.

Nah, they boy. With the Joel and B shit. Hey, man. When I talk about no limit takers around, they motherfucker. They put for sale signs for everybody. Everybody. I'm like, free Cam Thomas.

Cam Thomas need to go to the Timberwolves. He need to stay right there. No. He going to get his chance to get, you know, be a guy. Cam Thomas is Anthony Morrow, bro. I'm telling you. He want to score at a high level. He just want to hit buckets, Thomas is Anthony Morrow, bro. I'm telling you. Nah, nah. He want to score at a high level. He just want to hit buckets, bro.

Hit hoes, bro. We're not going to put that on Ed. Shout out to Ed Fredrickson. Yeah, A-Mo didn't do that, bro. He's a family man, bro. A-Mo, hey. No, I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

You niggas want to get buckets, bro. Have fun. Get buckets. They don't really care about all the bullshit, bro. Cam Thomas don't want to share buckets with nobody. He want i'm going to score you want to kill you want to get paid yeah but he deserves to go be on the cop nobody deserves to be on the nets bro get paid first bro shit i would have loved to been on the nets in my career right now why no pressure all i gotta do is score and they gotta you gotta pay somebody in the nba exactly you gotta have a certain amount

of money you gotta spend so i would love for it to be me i would have lost you get all the buckets damn man we gotta get better that's all i kept saying we just gotta keep working get better exactly i hope to be getting better i don't want niggas living in pergastore, he done had a rough couple years coming to the NBA. Coach is not playing ball. Mike's not that bad. I just want to play, bro.

Yes. That's it. Mike's not that bad. I get the money. Then I can worry about what my record looks like. There we go. Until I get paid, I just want to be a good player. Niggas saying I can get 20, 30 shots a game, and I'm up, nigga, for $100, $200 million.

I'm staying. Oh, for sure. I don't want to go to the boss or reggie miller this thing cool yeah hey i've seen scotty barnes got that crazy extension too hey listen no pressure toronto ain't talking about winning a damn thing no time soon boy i'll be in toronto having the best time six got uh on and off the court bro that's what i'm saying coolest boy i'll be they not like us cam got the same luxury in brooklyn bro yeah damn man they about to fire sale i see a lot like dorian finney smith i've seen a lot they got they was a team stacked full of role players that could help other teams but they just kept them together because whatever fucking reason

um i'm interested to see cam time cam johnson could go to a team it definitely helped um dorian finney smith would definitely go to a team and definitely help. Dorian Finney-Smith could definitely go to a team and help. Your man, Dennis, definitely could go to a team and help. Yup.

He probably want to stay. He probably like, damn, he's letting everybody go. It's my chance to get some buckets. Yeah, bro. That's crazy.

Yeah, I'm telling you. Everybody don't be thinking about winning championships. That's just the reality of this shit. No, no no for sure but also I would think maybe a vet like him

he probably want to get to a team where he you know what I'm saying that's more competitive bro he ain't trying to go waste his time he's trying to get paid you know they gotta

pay somebody let me go out here and average 18 and 7 let's think it was in the NBA he almost said let me get a 2 year 3 year deal

for about 65 then you hear him just gotta get somewhere where we can win man I just Let me get a two-year, three-year deal for about $65,000. Then you'll hear him. Just got to get somewhere where we can win, man. I just – Play the road, nigga. That's how it goes. That's why everybody thought Donovan was just going to be up and going by the

summer. No, if he goes anywhere, there's going to be a signing trade, buddy. Oh, yeah, I'm going to sign that deal. I hate it here after he signed. It's just not going to work after the first year. You see what Paul George is on? Allegedly, Golden State is just like, we'll offer PG a four-year max. And I think that's what the holdup with a lot of different teams is he wants that fourth year in his deal.

Obviously, he wants to stay on the West Coast. But that'd be crazy, man, if they went and got him. How would you feel if you played Thompson, though? All the work I put in. my career is better than his i've done all this and go and stay and y'all gonna offer him a four-year max and y'all don't even want to talk to me about what i want now granted paul jones a better player right now but i mean for sure i think i would love to see um conversation about this a month from now because we get a lot of mixed up because i see steve carr coming out saying you know i would love to have him back but you know you hear that

jargon but you how much do you love him because how much you're offering him there's a lot of people who say look at what clay is and what is clay gonna be he's not worth the max and then you got other people said all right look you've been hurt you ain't been the best and they still took care of you all right what time is it do we move on yeah i'm a big clay fan bro one of my favorite plays of all time go ahead and go ahead and slide bro i just wonder what how you feel it's like how marcus smart i seen on a podcast he was talking about how he felt about them winning the championship it was like it was interesting i just think clay i think clay is straight he might probably might be in like damn i did all this for this franchise like i'm part of the reason why we won in this bitch too yeah it's the end money he wasn't my favorite person sure i speak high on clay but

i need p yeah i'll take part right now i'm taking part thompson too but i just wonder how you would feel like you know y'all two guard at one point y'all was the premier two guards yeah and it's like damn y'all went and got him and it's a little deeper than rap too yeah you know i mean like him i got him 70 or whatever you had yeah he did i was on the team but i'm just saying, as a competitor, you're probably thinking that. And I know he probably like, I'm going to be back. And they're going to get him for it. I was just recovering.

Man, go to the Magic. Wasn't that the same draft? Paul George. Let's see. Go to the Magic. Paul George might be a year. Is that the same draft? I thought Paul George was younger than

Klay Thompson. I thought so too, but I could be wrong. They probably around the same age. 20 cent draft. Klay Thompson and them was like they playing the same high school team. Oh my gosh. Did I answer my questions?

Hold on. I know they're similar i know they're around the same age 2010 but yeah i could definitely understand why he would feel away but if i'm golden state and i got a chance to get Paul George, you got to do what you got to do. You got to do it. That's awesome. One year younger than him. That's what I thought.

So I'm younger too. I'm really hot. But he's better. You ain't more. You're not as durable as me, though. Paul George just as mean as me. I know. I was, but if we're— I was out with actual, like—

So, with that being said, if we're the same type of health-wise and I'm better than you, I'm going to just go with the better player. But I think the health is clearly a concern. I think that if you look at both of those players' play, especially last time you've seen them, you would expect Paul George to have a lot more of what he's given to contribute than Clay would going forward. Nope, for sure.

I agree. I just wonder, you know. Like you said, I'm sure he feel a ways, bro. And that's probably good motivation. I hope he go to another team. Go to the Magic, bro. Johnson, Orlando.

What my Hawks gonna do? I heard we everybody for sale besides Jalen Johnson. The building needs to be for sale. Our team needs to be for sale. Never have I ever seen a number one pick turned down like just be so disinterested in the franchise that has no clue what they look like they're going to do

um every time we look on these sites we see a trade between two of y'all best players and then they're like well everybody's for sale what direction are they going in they might as well trade that pick it's rebuilding bro it bro. It's time, bro. It sucks, but it's time. Just rebuild. No, I'm rolling, but, like, the urgency was shit, bro. It just seemed like you have to have some type of a direction, bro, before the draft, I would imagine,

especially if you're getting the number one pick. That's where it was. We didn't expect the number one pick. They need me back up with her, man. Call me Landry. I know what to do. But, no, it's just you gotta surround you gotta decide if Trey Young is your guy if he's your guy then you gotta go all in on Bill and when they try but you gotta go all in on

getting some veterans and some guys around him that's gonna fit how he gonna play if he ain't your guy move on you can get a lot of value from him. You can get Austin Reeves and some guys. It's a certain way you want to play. You can get him. You can get a Donovan Mitchell or a Darius Garland and some other pieces for him. You probably can get Darius Garland. Who, for Trey?

Darius Garland and Jared Allen for Trey. Damn. I mean, I think if you decide to trade Trey Young, that you could get definitely value in draft picks and stuff like that. But what the fuck do they want? They don't make it clear. I don't know, but it's just like you got to get a player. Like, I'm going to always say it was an equal trade but that Luka not

keeping Luka it just always look bad yeah but it ain't cause Trae Young being a baller he hooping

it was like an equal trade but like when you see what Luka doing and how far they franchise going to the championship and shit

it make you be like as a Hawks fan you like we could have had this shit? And now you're thinking about trading, trading, or he opened the trade. It's like...

But the pieces around him are different too, though. Not really, though. I mean, they draft... I would say the Mavs probably did a little bit more, but also...

What? We can go player for player. Them trying to go get... Well, them going to get Porzingis and them going to get Kyrie is probably more than what the Hawks go player for player. Them trying to go get Porzingis. Well, them going to get Porzingis and them going to get Kyrie is probably more than what the Hawks have done for Trey. I mean, they got DeJounte, but that didn't seem like they got DeJounte

for Trey's development. They got him more or less as if this don't work out, we're going to rock with him and we'll have another league guard. Yeah, I mean, I get what you're saying, but if you went player for player before they got Kyrie, like when they had Porzingis and Jalen Brunson, Brunson was drafted there. Touche.

Cam Reddish was supposed to be good. DeAndre Hunter supposed to be better. Bogey, they gave him all that money because of Milwaukee. He was supposed to be there. Capella had great moments with James Harden. He was supposed to do that. Big O, he got drafted there. He's still a good player, though.

But Jalen Johnson, he's coming along. But all these picks and stuff that they had, it was supposed to develop like Golden State. Something was supposed to click. It just never clicked. So I have a rebuttal to that comment, but I know that you have aspirations of the Atlanta Hawks office, so I'm going to gratefully decline.

Go ahead and say it. That means terrible evalu office. So I'm going to gratefully decline. That means terrible evaluators. That means they're fucking up drives. It wasn't Landry, you know. Yeah. So it brings you back to our original point. How do you don't know what the fuck you want to do as far as who you're going to keep? And again, I think Atlanta is not a destination for, like, players.

More emphasis on why you are, yo. Yeah, like, for me, like, if you a real, like, you a real black person, you will enjoy Atlanta. But if you, like, a person who wants celebrity and to be, like. Movie star. Not a movie star, but, like, a status player player you don't get a lot of attention in atlanta like to us atlanta is a popular city to like black people you go there you're gonna see celebrities blah blah blah blah blah but in the sports world atlanta is very yeah yeah so those top players really don't want to go there and plus their wives their

girlfriends they don't want no nigga living in Atlanta just the truth I remember we was trying to get Rudy Gay I think it was yeah like man

we ain't be able to do this damn my family I'm like that's real conversation in Korea nah for real job location matters bro

that's a real deal breaker for a lot of people yeah so it was just tough so I mean it's gonna I mean they can's tough. No, for real. Job location matters, bro. That's a real deal breaker for a lot of people. Yeah, so it was just tough. So, I mean, they can build a good team. I mean, we did it before. It's just you got to get the right pieces. For sure. I just, I'm like, damn, man, it's draft day.

We don't know what direction they want to go in. I don't know if they want to move Trae Young. Because I'm just like, I can imagine that would take precedence of what you got going on. But we'll see. Yo, the Bulls gave up caruso you know i'm saying and got back josh giddy and immediately they put that uh the daylight gust of tags over the united center and i was fucking crying damn well that's a good trade

though it actually is because you don't know what he's actually a poor man's lonzo ball yeah because he can't shoot but they do very similar shit good size pause like saying yeah he's like shit can make good plays but he just can't shoot as good as lonzo i like caruso um i like him on the thunder love i like that that's great that's crazy that's why i'm kind of like damn y'all low-key got fleas. Y'all could have got pigs. I mean, getting Giddy back, like I said, they wanted a playmaker, you know what I'm saying, with Young Promise. And obviously he was going to have to come off the bench in the Thunder. And his lack of shooting was the reason why he couldn't play

in certain situations. So they came up. They got a fucking great defender who can knock that bitch down and play well with the lead guard, too. Yeah, and he played like them, though. Like, he can switch one through four. They play wings really. They don't really play bigs.

Yeah. Yeah, he was a perfect, he's a perfect player for that. I like that. Yeah. Yeah,

they gonna be crazy, man. Malik Monk got that bread too. Shout out to that. He got, he low-key got low ball. I think that was the max he could get though.

That was the max, I thought he could get a little bit more than that. He got the max from Sacramento. I'll stay crazy. I think that's the most he could get from now

or whatever. My favorite, you know what it is, I hate UK, but one of my favorite duos, bro, I love Malik Monk. I love De'Aaron Fox, bro.

Them is two, like, I find they two cold niggas and I love the fact they get to play together. I wonder if Sacramento going to extend De'Aaron Fox. I think that he's definitely kind of winning his options.

I wonder what that's like. Nah, he going to get an extension. I mean, you really can't find guards at his caliber like that. Especially that young, that fast. I don't think it's on TV. I think it's on his end. I think he's winning his options, but he going to get a max. Yeah, I mean, he's a top 12 guard, and you ain't going to turn down that money. I love when people do that. They just try and put a little pressure on his end. I think he's winning his options. But he going to get a max. Yeah, I mean, he's a top 12 guard.

You ain't going to turn down that money. I love when people do that. They just try to put a little pressure on the franchise. Like, I'm going to weigh my options. It's like, all right, when we offer you this five-year max, stop playing. You're not about to turn that down. Not when it's your team. Yeah.

And you're getting 300 and whatever million he about to get. That's just talk. Like, Donovan Mitchell, that's talk. I don't know, bro. Donovan might slide. I mean, he getting Adidas money and all that.

Yeah, Donovan and I, it's different. Nah, I ain't. Shit. I know what you would do, for sure. If I'm a slide, bro. You signing on the dotted line

for shit show. With the blood. Damn. Nigga, I'll cut my motherfucking arm and take that. Y'all going to get all of me, bro. DNA on the sheet. That's a filthy ass sheet.

The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,

the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?

You fucking with dream team?

Yeah. Which Olympic team you rocking with? The LeBron and them. Which one? The Redeem. The Redeem team? That's with Kobe,

you know? Yeah. Yeah. I damn near fuck with 2012, but I feel like that 96 team could fuck with that dream team. Hell no. That team with Shaq and them,

bro, I feel like they could, I think that they could fuck with them. Who was on that team in 96? Shaq I'm about to go ahead and pull the squad out Penny was on there Uh huh

That's when y'all lost it right there Filthy Pip Dick was on there In 96 Them jerseys were so raw I had one Oh my god I had the Penny jersey

Yeah Barkley Penny Grant Hill Carmelon, Richard Miller. Christmas. Hell no. Shaq, Gary Payton, Scotty. No way, bro. Hey, bro.

Stockton, David Robinson. Oh, DJ Tweaker. Ain't no way. I was already on the Dream Team. Yeah. So who the fuck going to go on Mike? I mean, nobody in the world is going to go on Mike. That's where you lost me.

That's where you got lost. It dead bro it's quiet but if i had to pick the best one that would beat everybody damn it at redeem team bro i was watching the doc on netflix and i was just like all right the redeem team let's do the matchups brian mellow kobe uh wait let's start at point guard so Magic Magic right Magic be whoever was at the point guard no not in 92

he wasn't he was still nah bro he he like nah bro 92 and Magic

probably the best PG of all time but in 92 I'm asleep I'm taking Magic bro Magic over who was it

CP this is Magic when he had that shit? No. 83-84 Magic? For sure. He was still hooping. Them niggas, him and Bird on that team, bro. They was on their last leg.

They was chilling. So let's match them up. All right. So you going Magic? Who was the... We doing this in them like in their prime. Let's just do it against them. 92 versus 96 team?

No, 92 versus... Who was it? Yeah. Let's do it in their prime Let's just do it 92 versus 96 team Nah 92 versus Yeah Let's do it in they prime Everybody in they prime 92 versus 12 Okay cool Everybody in they prime 92 versus 08

08 I'm sorry Everybody in they prime Everybody in they prime Let's go Let's do it then Y'all lose I got Magic at the one He beating whoever

Was at the one We gotta put LeBron At the one then Okay LeBron and Magic Okay That's it I got LeBron There you you go two got mj and don't matter kobe mj okay for sure at the three three hit pit and then it was k it was a kd who was it nah and oh wait i mean, Bron was there in the third, but it was mellow. Yeah. Mellow. Give me Pip. Sleep.

Give me Pip. I'm asleep. Give me Pip. Who was at the floor? Barkley? Barkley was definitely at the phone. Let me get my phone. Man, give me Barkley. Man, they got booze. It's Christmas. We got to be faster on this shit. I got you right here. It's Christmas. Hold on. Let me pull up. We got to be faster on this shit. I got you right here.

It's Christmas. I got you right here. Yeah, nah. You do the 92 team, bro. I got both of them. Tell me what's up. Yeah. It's Christmas, bro.

The dream team, you got Magic Johnson, John Stockton. Redeem team had Jason Key, Chris Paul, Darren Williams. End point. So you're taking Magic, John Stockton, or you're taking Chris Paul, Darren Williams? No, you take a magic John Stockton or you taking Chris Paul Darren Williams we got adjusted the team we can't LeBron's gonna have to guard him so they naturally we have the message I have a point guard LeBron for them to match up LeBron would have to guard magic so he they both we'd be playing one basically so shooting guard you got Michael Jordan and Kobe that's Kobe that's the horse all right so small forward you got Michael Jordan. And Kobe. And Kobe. That's harsh.

All right. So small forward, you got Scottie going against. Melo. Melo. Meloese. Now here's where things get a little tricky. Now par four, you got Karl Malone or Barkley. You got Barkley first?

No. It don't matter. Either one. They're not like us. You got Barkley. Who's from the other team? The team team, LeBron James and Carlos Boozer. You already got LeBron playing the one.

So Boozer playing the four is kind of disgusting. Boozer was cold. And that's not a good thing because Boozer's cold. No, no, no. Against Barkley, that's Christmas. He has nothing for Charles Barkley. You also got Chris Bosh and Dwight Howard on the redeem team. Oh, yeah.

CB. Well, who are our fives on CB you got Patrick Ewing Dave Robinson I'm not taking none of our bigs over there

never never never it's over with it's over the dream team bro Larry Legend we even mentioned

Larry Legend D-Wade coming off the bench gave me Larry Legend and they promised changed lots of this conversation though in the context of when

they played as teams was different though. But Chris Bosh was never better than none of them. Never. Never, bro. Carlos Boozer, never. Never.

I didn't realize that power force situation was so shaky. I mean, only reason because you got a Cal or Ed Brown with fucking Magic because LeBron is

really the four. Dwight Howard can argue. Dwight would have held shit down though. I don't think he's better than I'm going to say Dwight better than Pat Young. Oh down, though. I don't think he's better than... I'm going to take Dwight better than Pat Ewing. Oh, for sure.

I don't think he's better than David Robinson. No. But he's definitely better than Pat Ewing. No, he ain't better than David Robinson. They only got a problem at the four. That's a big problem. The one, too. Because Charles Barkley, that was going to MVP Chuck.

Yeah, that's a problem. Carlos Blues ain't got shit for that. And that's no disrespect Cause he Cahoot but Y'all didn't put Kobe in the game? Yeah But it was just He gotta deal with MJ bro And that's

That's a wash That's Christmas Yeah but Okay okay I'm gonna tell you I'm taking that Dream Team bro I'm fucking with the Redeem Team Darren Williams was nasty

He was cold One of my favorite Niggas might be too small though Too little Yeah that's And Pat And Pip can guard any of them Yeah

Pip 1 through 50 Yeah for sure For sure for sure 1 through 50 The whole squad Mike can guard any of them Yeah Mike can guard the whole team Damn that's crazy

That's the only reason why I'm picking though Talent wise I'm gonna have to say the Redeem But I've just straight if you putting all five of them on the court at the same time

and their prime changes every day the only reason I have a problem with that is Darren Williams and them can't play in the game yeah Chris Paul

and I get no ticket in that game he can't play at all too little yeah he can't play at all he's going straight to the post

now he would create advantages as well but it would just be Magic Johnson I don't see how though Pushing the ball He's faster than Magic Johnson bro

I get that bro He can get past that Mike gonna be Guarding the point guard And Pitt Yeah they gonna be Guarding the guards So will it bro

I just want y'all to know That they have the 2012 Olympic team Number two KD and Stefano Yeah Oh that's the team then 2018 Number three No 12 kobe played on

that team right yeah 12 2012 yes yes for the god that's the team i'm taking over the uh what's the name yes that's the team i'm thinking i'm like who are the bigs on that team tyson chandler and oh my mama that's the team i'm taking that is the team I'm taking over there. Yes. The 12 team? I'm like, Carlos Boozer? The fuck? Shout out to Carlos Boozer in Utah, though. He was a cold nigga, bro.

You know I know. At least pick a role with him and D. Will. 2012 team is wiping their ass. That's who I was thinking about. Who was the big

2012? Anthony Davis. Christmas. Oh, yeah, that's the real team. Yeah. Yeah, because I don't think the Dream Team got shit for LeBron. Even though AD didn't play, that was his. But if we taking niggas in their prime, for sure. Anthony Davis Christmas Oh yeah that's the real team Yeah Yeah cause I don't think

The Dream Team got shit For LeBron Even though AD didn't play That was his But if we taking niggas In they prime For sure I mean that big was

Tyson Chandler I'm saying Anthony Davis That was his rookie Yeah he was going to the league Then bro he wasn't doing shit He was on the Scrooge That's when they played Spain right

Yeah Nah bro that team elite That's when Melo went crazy But they barely beat Spain Y'all think y'all gonna beat The Dream Team Yeah Yeah, bro. Man, fuck no. Pay you and it was on powder, bro.

Chris Paul versus Magic Johnson is what they got it lined up as. Sweet. They got Kobe versus Mike. LeBron versus Scottie. Kevin the Red versus Barkley. Delete. And Dwight Hart versus Patrick.

Delete. Ass whooping. And Chris Paul has to get something out of that game. That's not the truth. Nah, bro. I'm still taking the dream team. Because Steph is on that team, right? I'm still taking the dream team. Hell nah, Jeff.

Or James Harden, too. Chuck is a dog, bro. Oh, exactly. That's it. Chuck is elite, but I don't think he want KD Smoke. Shit. That don't even make sense. Westbrook was on that team, too.

Man, come on. I knew I wasn't tripping. When y'all said Boozer, that threw me all the way off. I had my years fucked up. That team is light years better than the Jets. For sure, the Redeem team. But the 92 team, the original Dream team. It's ranked number one.

I fuck with the 96 team. Look at that picture of Bernie. He was on they last league, bro. That's bad name, Larry Bird, bro. My boy was hooping and going to lay on his stomach. Like a toddler. Oh, boss. Niggas have a tummy time as an adult. See his old ass home, bro. I didn't couldn't walk.

Oh, 2012, man. We just talked about that shit for no reason. Yeah, the 2012 team is way better, bro. Because KD, we tweaking. And Jimmy Harden. Y'all niggas crazy. Speaking of KD, how y'all feel about the Suns moving KD? I mean, shit.

That ain't going to happen. I mean, go wherever you want to go, bro. You KD, bro. They already got smut on your name for shipping teams just because. You went to the Golden State Warriors after they beat your ass. You went to go get a couple chips and you didn't give a fuck. So, you can go anywhere. It's the nigga in the NBA right here that was pissed.

I ain't fucking mad about him doing that. I'm just saying, you was like, damn, these niggas is cheating. You know what I'm saying? They was too good. Yeah, so niggas is like, he don't give a fuck. Nah, I ain't give a fuck about that shit, though. I only care when LeBron did it. Damn.

That was a bigger moment to you? Yeah, it was like, damn, LeBron. LeBron really fucked the league up. Yeah, he about to go play with his homeboys. Like, when KD did it, I was like, whatever. Yeah, KD could go anywhere, bro. I feel like the Suns realized that they have no assets, and they don't know what to do with their team,

and I feel like he's probably the only piece that they could move. Because, obviously, we know Brad ain't going nowhere, especially no Trey Claus, and you definitely can't trade Devin Booker. But if you trade KD to Houston? I don't believe in whatever i hear about the houston rockets i mean i'm doing a pixel office cool but what are y'all trying to do because no matter what moves y'all make y'all still don't put yourselves in the top four like or really top six even if

y'all just get katie with that roster you're gonna have to do a whole lot and i'll see them doing that but who would they trade they're gonna trade jabari smith davis uh They would have to trade Demer everybody, bro. Yeah. Jalen Green. Nah, hell nah. J Green stay. Nah, they ain't got no more. Baby Joker, they said if it was for Kenny,

he would have to get moving that track. Come on, bro. I don't believe in nothing that they're doing that's going to make them a better team in the next year or so, man.

Let's rebuild, bro, the right way. Y'all pay Fred Van Fleet a whole lot of money. Come on, man. Just rebuild, bro, the right way. Y'all pay Fred Van Fleet a whole lot of money. Come on, man. Freddie V deserved it. No, I'll fuck with Fred Van Fleet. Get your fucking bag.

Every time. He deserved it. I mean, I'm saying they're paying your point guard that much cap, bro. We didn't even just mention his name at all. You gotta keep Jalen Green.

Just keep rebuilding, yeah. But I don't think, I don't know, man. I don't know. Houston ain't really an option for me. That's what I'm saying. He deserves to be at a team that's contending, bro, if KD's going to get moved somewhere.

He need to go back to Golden State. That would be crazy. If he went back to Golden State, bro, NBA Twitter would break. It'd be hard. Instead of getting Paul George, it should go after KD. We're just going to keep our team

and bring Kevin back. Bring Klay back, too. Fuck it. What paul george left katie went to the clippers nasty now there we go katie to the clippers kawaii katie would be cheating bro trade paul george over there trade paul george for katie yeah Paul George for KD. Trade Paul George for KD. Yeah. Swap it out. It's an even trade, bro. Man, I mean, then y'all going to get him off the books. Y'all get Paul George off the books.

Yeah. Talk to my GM shit real quick. But I just feel like KD want to do some shit like that he want to go to a Climber team where he know we can do this fake Russ story you know what I mean we rekindling then I got Kawhi and then Jimmy they be raw bro

I want KD to go back to the Thunder so bad man they could use him hell yeah they need him for real for real but is he ready to play with young guys though do we want to i mean i think he could fuck with that system bro now do he want to go back to live in oklahoma city that's a great question that should be matter no i mean he probably got so much stuff okay see but he probably like but do you want to

go back to live in oklahoma when you have not lived you was in california phoenix even brooklyn that's tough bro you probably get it by your city so i get it i just when you later your career i was like i wondered if that really mattered if you want to go somewhere for a year or two tap in for a little second. Yeah. That'll be hard, though. KD to the Clippers, man. Fuck it.

Hey, man, listen. I'm just hoping to pay for you. OG and an OB, bro. That's finesse. That's finesse. Oh, yeah. Y'all ain't talking about them motherfuckers this whole time. We've been here.

I mean, what we need to do. Ain't too much to say? No. We need to decide what we're going to do. Are we going to play our young talent next year? If not, then we need to make a move. I've been hearing that we're gonna do are we gonna play our young talent next year if not then we need to make a move uh i've been hearing that we're trying to do stuff i would love to get og and that would be elite for us if we could do that oh gee don't do it come on bro tap in we already tried trade for you bro it's love we we ain't tripping off that 35 we got it for you bro the nixon's they

don't bother you my we got that bread for you pull up yeah sad and you'll get the hoop too yeah i said bro that'd be a great pickup up y'all sad and you'll get the hoop too y'all sad bro that'd be a great pickup for y'all though that would be elite pickup because if we don't make a move like that in that position that we're gonna be back to where it was last year y'all playing next year but y'all gonna have a drake year next year what that mean not this we're gonna be quiet no we straight oh i want that they we gonna be quiet we gonna be quiet next year is quiet for the place we good it's so dead

nah we good we straight we gonna be a playoff team next year if we don't make no moves you know what I'm saying we might be the top six second round

nah man we gonna be where we gonna be we need to decide for real if we gonna either like if Jairus Walker like he spit the lottery pick on him give him a chance

to fucking play then why you want OG? Because he is code, and we can have both of them. That's a killing thing. We can have both of them. We can have it. We play 10 people anyway. Like, we a fucking college team.

He going to get a chance to play. But if you can get a wing like OG, don't pass on that. Benedict Mather, we're going to see how he heals and what they're trying to do for him scoring-wise. We just have to commit to it. Leave. They've been trying to get you out of here i have not trying to get him out of here back and forth buddy buddy was the one that had to go forth this thing over here teeter with the motherfucking roster get out of there ben i've been nothing but right i had a bullshit run this playoff you You know what I mean? You got to celebrate for an extended amount of time. Shout out to you.

But fuck that patient's jersey, bro. Hey, man. Go fever. Be careful. When I see Mikael Bridges, this is a Knicks last night, I said, man, what the fuck? I can't enjoy shit. It's over, bro. We the OG now, nigga.

Get it done. Over, bro. Nova Knicks is hard. Y'all play the Knicks this year? Ass whooping. We can bet every game. I i'm gonna tell you right now even if we do there's nothing that hurts word and the motherfuckers getting beat game seven at the crib i don't care they're not like us and he's gonna be back next year um everybody will be healthy um i've seen if he doesn't go back to the next i've seen philly trying to get og and over i

think that's a good look for them to philly try to I've seen Philly trying to get OG in over. I think that's a good look for them, too. Philly trying to get... I think they're trying to get Brandon Ingram, too. I'm just excited to see how this shit all pan out. That's another team. That'd be a great pickup for them. Brandon Ingram and that team with Tyrese and Embiid, they would be very good. I mean, I think even Paul George and that team would still be, you know what I'm saying? Paul ain't leaving out west,

though. That's what the rumors say. That podcast is out west. He's not leaving. Jackie ain't moving to the East Coast. Who? Jackie ain't moving to the East Coast. Uh-oh. I know what that nigga said. You're out of pocket.

the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment,

and sports collide, and hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
