Starting point is 00:30:22 He was getting hella shots up. I for sure was in that corner. I was in that corner. I was in that corner. He was coming off the screens, pulling buttons. He was going in and he was doing his thing. So Kimmel was a gun. What? Anytime he came off the screen, he was shooting the ball.

Starting point is 00:31:28 That's probably the best game winner ever, like, in my book. Top five. It's definitely. Top five, for sure. As a Louisville fan, having nightmares of that Big East run, he was, like,
Starting point is 00:31:38 they whooped ass every single day. Yeah, that's shit. That's one of the hardest championship runs, bro. Oh, for sure. Kimba that guy, man, for sure. For sure.

Starting point is 00:33:57 But we went from, like, down to the ninth seed to, like, the 13th seed, but I got a more shot. So I was cool. So I had to get the ball in my hand a little bit. Trial by her. Alright, shit.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I got LaMelo. Turn up. No effects. Yeah, everything happened for a reason. How was that going from, you know what I'm saying, from Kimba to LaMelo
Starting point is 00:34:17 more of a pass for point guard? It was good. I just had to be like more on more on my shit with LaMelo because you never know
Starting point is 00:34:24 when he's throwing the ball. I've seen him throw a full court underhand pass to me, so it's definitely a difference. But like I said, I love watching Kimba, man. Like I said, I watched Kimba drop 60 on Jimmy Butler. That's probably one of the craziest games I've ever seen. And I've seen Melo have 15 assists, 16 assists, and it's still crazy to see. So it's just like I don't know
Starting point is 00:34:45 Nah you've been blessed To play with some Dope point guards Bro Cause Kimba When he was playing Was one of the dopest And he was
