Grinding is everything. Please you remember I put timings in everything. Hey man, before we get to today's episode, man, cause there was a lot of basketball play last night, man. Shout out to the homie David on Twitter. He sent me this pic yesterday. I threw it in the group chat for y'all. But there is a picture of LeBron James dunking

and shit out of Paul Millsap. And it's funny cause he was like, Jeff Seeg is really around for everything interesting in the NBA. And you right here in this picture near the bench. What happened in this game? Brian, we was winning and Brian ended up dunking on P and we was up like eight, like a minute to go.

And they ended up making a crazy run and taking it to overtime and beating us in overtime. But Paul was trying, I told Paul to get the fuck out the way. What are you doing? They ain't call blocked, they ain't call charged. They said, ooh, we took the ball out. What is he doing? I said, you a bald man,

just sitting in front of LeBron James in the room for sure. But the fact that you painted that picture, man. You looking like, what the fuck? I'm like, what are you doing? Like, cause it's a minute to go, like let him dunk it and get out the way so we can shoot free throws. Damn.

That's crazy. Somehow we still lost that game. That's back in the nasty jersey era days too. He wore some bullshit jerseys back in that too. We just fucked with it cause everybody liked the heat at the time, but that all red with the white outline, that's a nasty jersey.

That's a disgusting jersey. Our hock jersey was weak. I hated the American flag. Yeah, y'all jerseys was cool. You could never get fresh in there. It was like, man. Yeah, that, the Miami Heat shit was worse than y'all's, though, bro.

Nah, when they wore the black, though, them shit was decent. The all black with the white outline. Fire, or any of they black jerseys was fire compared to the Hawks. We had the red American flag, them jerseys was weak. Shout the Hawks. We had the red American flag, the United States League. Shout out to the New Jersey designers and the NBA now. Nike.

Nike, yeah, that was the Dita days they had right there. Hey, what's crazy is some of the best basketball we saw. That line's up more than them, they're hard though. Well, he jersey? I always liked the he jersey. Yeah, the old school he jerseys. And the old, that's that run team, I mean that run team, but Tim Hardaway, boy.

Yeah, I like them jerseys. I like them jerseys all the time. Sisters of the holidays, fuck it. Man, it's crazy, like those old Christmas battles we all talking about that mid 2000s, well 2010 era, it was wearing them sleeve jerseys, bro. Like someone best basketball was playing them sleeve jerseys. I wanted a sleeve jersey so bad.

That's my swag, I hooped in t-shirts and shit. Like that was my swag. I wanted a sleeve jersey so bad. That's my swag. I hoop in t-shirts and shit. Like that was my swag. I like that shit. The Hawks never quite made it to prom time. Just for hoop reasons, I fucked with that. To wear a hoop jersey like with a fit is crazy. If you were wearing that jersey as a tee with some jeans, you would spill me.

You could tell niggas to get their regular jersey off with some jeans, but if you had the tee jersey, you're a different type of bull. You might as well be wearing a drop fit to the club. That's damn really a club. You might as well pull off a tee swag, drop it to the club. Cause I was gonna say, I don't know what type of pant

you could wear with that, that could be acceptable. But the cut was so low, like you looked super nasty. It was though. And remember LeBron kept like damn near ripping them motherfuckers, I mean obviously LeBron. And remember LeBron kept like damn they're ripping them off, I mean, obviously LeBron is a super soldier, but he kept them like ripping them dirty and the sleeves. But they wore them in a chip though.

They wore the chip in Cleveland. They wore the black ones. And that's the pissed off part, cause you know, Kyrie Mongeau, I don't ever want that jersey. I wanted a sleeve jersey so bad. I was like, this is, they made it for me. Yeah, you was hooping, I fuck with that.

Just for the reminisce. Yeah, but as farin'. I fuck with that, just for the reminisce. Yeah, but as far as the reminisce and put that on the wall, I don't want that sleeve jersey in my house, bro. That's nasty work. You never once put the t-shirt under your jersey in the league? I did a couple of times,

but they made you wear like super tight ones. Like it had to be for a medical reason. And so I tried to act like my shoulder was hurting. Then the fucked up thing, my shoulder really started hurting. See, you played around. That's like a motherfucker walking around with crutches on up thing, my shoulder really started hurting. So you played around. That's like a motherfucker walking around with crutches on. Yeah, I was bullshitting.

I told them like, yeah, my shoulder hurt a little bit. They did all these motherfucking things, testing my shit out. I'm like, cool. Yeah, I wondered if you ever hooted the T-shirt. Put a shirt under my shit. It's when I was wearing double zero too. Oh, damn, it's late T.

Oh, that was a retweet. Yeah, my shit started hurting for real. Like, what the fuck? And that shirt was hot as fuck. Yeah, that was a retweet. Yeah, my shit started early, for real. Like, what the fuck? And that shirt was hot as fuck. Damn, that's crazy, man. Shout out to the sleeve jerseys, man. They done came a long way. Drawfist said, we ain't going from none of that.

Hey, that's crazy. You can Google yourself. Hey, that nigga got hella jersey numbers. Pock up. Nigga, I got like five jerseys. I wore zero. I wore zero most of it in my career. Hey, you know what's crazy?

Jamal Crawford went through and named all his coaches in order. I thought that was nuts. He had 20 coaches. Yeah, I don't think I can name of my career. Hey, you know what's crazy? Jamal Crawford went through and named all his coaches in order, I thought that was nuts. He had 20 coaches. Yeah, I don't think I could name all my coaches. Yeah, I could. I didn't have that many though. 20 is crazy.

20 is crazy. Yeah, 20 is a lot. Jamal moved around though. For sure, man. Who was it? Woody, LD. Shit, it gets funky. Bud.

T. No, Nate. No, I'm in Berlin,. Bud, Tiz, no. Nate. No, I mean, you didn't have all of your. Nate, Tiz, shit, who was that, the Tiz? Atlanta, you had a boy, Lloyd, LP. Yeah, Lloyd, Pierce, then it was, where I went after that, I went to Boston, Brad, then I went to Milwaukee, Bud again then I went to Milwaukee Bud again. Yeah, that wasn't that bad.

That culture's fucked with you though, that's love. Yeah, I had the same culture every time. For sure man. Speaking of. Hey man, stop pulling up them stats man. Fuck you. That's six boys in Boston. Damn, I was ass.

Hey, why you out? You shot good from the field though. 43 wasn't bad. That's not bad. I ain't getting up to 10. I gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I mean, how many points do you average? Max Christie. Not Max Cronby, n***a, Max Christie. Who we at this year? Oh my God! That's crazy. Nah, that's crazy. That's your same stats shot.

I'm due eight, we maybe got the same stats, bro. I'm due eight, bro. That's 30 million, bro. I'm due. Four year, 32. I'm due. I was, I was doomed. You sure I'm a racist kid?

I was doomed. Shout out to Mike Conley. Another shout out, I told you. Keep winning. I was doomed. Stay in it to win it, God damn it. Hey man, speaking of LeBron, you called yesterday man,

the Pistons came over LeBron, showed up at WSA, took care of a 117, 114. I had 28, 11, 11, AD, 19, 10, and six. My boy K, another double dub, 20 and 10, Lee Beasley, 21 and five. Lee Beasley be hoopin' every time he ain't on my parlay. Every time he ain't on my parlay, he hit every three in the world.

I've been bigging K, cutting him up all year. Have you? Now shout out to DJ, he been say he been hoopin' all year, but I've been a Pistons fan all year. Have you? Shout out to DJ, he been hooping that year, but I've been a Pistons fan all year. I told you the Pistons was a quality team that had some decent veterans that they added to that core. Young guys. And I think they starting to build some chemistry over there and getting that new coach JB. He's starting to figure it out.

For sure, he went coach Carl on them niggas. But listen, man, Kay Cunningham going crazy player of the week, average 24, 10 and seven. It's all star numbers. Y'all be talking about it between him and Lamele yesterday. It's gonna be a tough spot for that, but he keep killing like this bro, he gonna have to be one. Nah, he an all star.

You can't deny it. You've been saying it all year, but them stats are crazy, man. Average of nine assists, we're doing their 10 and 24 points and leading up a team team that's kind of making some progress like they might be a playoff team. I mean with a tenth in the East. I mean they're a playing team.

Yes, definitely a playing team and they're not too far. I mean they get on a little roll, a little streak. They could actually be in a playoff hunt. So shout out to J.B. Biggerstaff though. Now listen, I know it was early in the season, but did we ever think there was a point that the 76ers will be chasing the Detroit Pistons for the last playing spot?

No, it's just. Nasty work. This is dismantled over there in Philadelphia, man. It's just, shit ain't normal. I mean, they gotta win last night though. Yeah, we gonna talk about that win for sure, nasty game, but listen, I saw this on Twitter and it started cracking up,

and somebody said, don't nobody get to locker room faster than LeBron after a loss. Shout out to LeBron. Popped his head shot, he walked right back. Ain't nothing to talk about. Nobody here in the shade. It is what it is, man. I would have loved him to see him hit that shot

and see his reaction. I shook you niggas hands enough times, man. I'm a bad sport now. As he should be. I was gonna crashed off, if you would've hit it, get him gone. That's funny. That's the only person we know

that really never tried to fight LeBron. I tried. Yeah, you did hit sticks LeBron. There's probably been a couple niggas though. I ain't really tried to fight. I remember Brown was talking bad to somebody. Who was he talking bad to? It was recently. Brown be talking crazy to somebody. Who was he talking bad to? It was recently.

Brian be talking crazy to people. Yeah, I forgot. Dang, I was laughing because they was arguing. It was a young boy. Brian was talking bad to him. The way he talked about Ken Payne is still one of my favorites. He was just home.

That was one of the biggest hate moments with Brian, but it was still funny as fuck. Damn, he was just talking bad to somebody on the side. It wasn't hate, it was him keeping it real though. Nah, that's hate, bro. I'm moving right there, don't do that, bro. And I don't even like campaign like that to be vouching for him, bro.

But hey, man, let my nigga have his moment, bro. Be humble, bro. I'm God. Dang. I'm Bron, bro, be humble, bro. Talk to the other nigga, bro. Bron was just talking, he was on the sideline. It was somebody we know, and he was talking bad to him,

but the dude was just looking at him like, he was kind of starstruck, I can't even remember. Oh, that sucks. Oh, we gotta find that for sure. Never me. Yeah, I know you'd go, but it'd be, fuck you right now. JJ, is there anything he could do right now to help this team, or is it just his sort of dance?

What's wrong with that, bro? It's cool, bro, it's your first year bro. This spot was groomed for you. We okay bro? They trying to make you the new Pat? It happened when it happened bro. Jeff said when Brian leave it'd be a better team. No, it'd be better for him.

Right away. Right away. I mean, I don't know if it'd be good. I don't know if they'll be better. I mean, replacing LeBron is crazy. But for him coaching, it won't be that many expectations. He's like, damn, we lost LeBron. We lost the greatest player to ever play.

That bought me a year. Yeah. That gave me, you know what I mean? Gave me a chance to try to coach something. Y'all gotta bring some players in. We in rebuild mode a little bit. Now I can talk to these dudes a little different. I just coached LeBron James.

He would've never, you know what I mean? Coaches love doing that. Yeah, you coached him. Yeah, I do that shit. Who the fuck do you name? I was just scouting. I just scouted, I know what, I know exactly what they're looking for.

Point your ass to him, who they looking at. They don't do a fight like that. Yeah, I love fighting. I was just saying. He's talking about the greatest, the greatest player in the world, nigga. Who the fuck is we talking about? And you catching niggas, he can't,

JJ can't say that. LeBron is 50. You can't say you just coached this 50 year old nigga, bro. That is not a good example. He's still LeBron James, bro. I ain't gonna sleep, bro. He's still LeBron. I don't care, bro, do not say that to me. If's still a Brian James, bro. I ain't gonna sleep, bro. He's still a Brian. I don't care, bro.

Do not say that to me. If I want to like this nigga, fuck you. He's still coaching Brian, bro. You're playing with this nigga, his bra. You didn't coach him with his bra. Nigga, watch out. Yeah, bro, you playing these garbage problems with your bra, bro.

Don't talk like you're coaching a bra. But he actually made Brian fall one time. Yeah, I saw the, it's a clip. Damn, she done got Brian. Yeah, you don't want to snatch back. Brian touched the earth? Damn. Getting some holiday shopping done this weekend? Pick up some touchdowns.

to the I Am Rapoport Stereo Podcast, where I discuss entertainment, sports, politics, and anything and everything that catches my attention. I am here to call it as I see it. And there's a whole lot of things catching my eyes these days. Here's a clip from one of my favorite episodes. You are not a real fighter. You will never be discussed anywhere in boxing history. Ever. Fake Paul. The movie is The Apprentice and the movie is about young Donald Trump and his apprentice

Roy Cohen, real character, obviously both real characters. It kind of has a Scarface vibe to it, which I thought was very interesting. Listen to the I Am Rapaport Stereo podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast and wherever you get your podcast. This is completely off topic, but I seen you post this. Was the P.G. on George's New Yang? Was that a push off or that was just- I was just laughing at George. I would let y'all see what he wrote me. It's funny as fuck. Shout out to the mini-fan, 520 alumni for sure. George is funny. I posted it and tagged it, and then he wrote me something funny as hell.

You tagged him and some of him getting shook? That's how, that's how you be in Georgia relationship. That's the kind of shit he tagged me in. I get ducked off some shit he had tagged me in. But I wrote, he wrote me some funny ass shit. Shout out to the minivan, man. Get well soon, Lakers, man. Get well soon.

Aye, man. Shout out to the Pacers, you know what I'm saying? We doing really, really good right now. I told y'all I was back up. Y'all ain't believe me, but it's cool. Took care of business yesterday, gets to Warriors 111 105. We undefeated at the Chase Center. Renamed back to Pacer Center today, beat us.

I remember Dre Maw was on our podcast, you know what I'm saying, in Vegas. Shout out to Dre Maw, that's the homie. Talking about every time Steph seen them hard, what he was gonna do. Yeah, padlocks. It got wicked last night. It got real spooky last night.

I know Steph the guy, go PG. But we had a business yesterday. Is Steph starting to age a little bit? I think he's just having a bad week. I ain't even gonna put that smut on him. Okay, we just wonder. I mean. We don't ever see him have two bad games like that.

Yeah, I never see Steph shoot this poorly in one week. So it's kind of a struggle, but obviously when he 35, 36 years old, he's still having a hell of a year, but it's like, damn, the greats that we all know are starting to like, just slow down a little bit. LeBron getting older, Steph getting older, KD. It's like, damn, the NBA really about to have a turn.

And I'm not excited to see it actually. It's in good hands to me. Is it? Who has he think is in? That's a great conversation. You still got Joker, you still got Yannis, you got Ant, you got Jah, you got Shay, you got shit, who else?

JT. No, them Boston boys. Do you look at them as like tillers though? Like, do y'all look at them as like all time, all time great? Yes, Shay, John Moran, Anthony Edwards, killers. I think they're good players. I'm not saying, oh, they're all Hall of Famers for sure. But do you think like, like these people that are retiring

are like top five players, top 10 players that ever play? Do you think the people they're handing over is like top 10, top five players that ever play. You think the people are handing over is like top 10 top five players. No, I think because the nostalgia around those players and how they came up and how we adore them isn't the same with the people now. I don't think that there's a big drop off in skill. Obviously, those are generational talents, but we don't look at

Shea the same as we look at some of those people. We look at Joker the same way. Some of it can be to the international play. Of course, some of it could be the way that the NBA is at some of those people. We look at Joker the same way. Some of it can be to the international play, of course. Some of it could be the way that the NBA is marking some of the young stars as well. It's a lot of things that play with the situation. Luca and Joker are better than a lot of people

that played in 2000s, 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s. They won't get the same love because of how hard it is to watch certain people now. Yeah, I think they are. I think they're obviously, I think they're better than some of the players that's from the past. But I'm saying like, I think all three of them players

like KD, Brian and Steph, they changed the game to a point where like, they had a run where people wanted to beat him. I think Anthony Edwards and Javon Rand, people want to beat him because of off the court, like they swag and how they bring it. But like, people knew you couldn't be Brian, but people idolized Brian.

Like, you know what I mean? Can't nobody be Brian. But if you was tall, you want to be KD. Facts. Isaiah want to be KD. You know what I mean? Like I think all them dudes, Steph Curry, if he was a guard, you won't shoot my half court.

You won't be Steph Curry. I don't know if there's anybody else you can pass it to that people like, yeah, I'm gonna try to model my game or be this guy. Because think about it, everybody wanted to be James Harden, step backs and stuff. He on his way out soon. Got a couple more years.

Like, I don't know. But look how quick we rolled James off. Not we, but look how people wrote him off. After Brooklyn, people saw James was gonna be out of the league. I like the young talent. I'm not saying not cold, I'm just wondering like. I think that's how people, I think that's how we old, bro. We old heads.

And I feel like when we was coming up, our older people that was around us that was 30 and 40, they still praise Tim Hardaway, motherfucking, not Brian, but Kobe and Shaq and we never thought our era would take over their era or they didn't think so. Oh, but you kind of seen the writing though, like LeBron King. Like, Iverson and shit, it was kind of hard to tell a nigga

somebody was better than Iverson when we was growing up, telling the old head that. No, but like, yeah, you right. But when that LeBron King was labeled the chosen one, you knew the NBA was going like, this dude was gonna be the guy. No, he was gonna be the guy, but we didn't, I mean, I can't say nobody knew

the D-Way was gonna be as spectacular as he was. No, we didn't know that. Coming into the league and he was damn near 22 years old. But I'm saying we knew they was handing it to Brian. No, for sure. They passed that torch. I don't know who this next torch is getting to like that. That's my conversation.

I was like, we know that the talent is there. And the only reason I bring up the heart of the watch is because in that area you was talking about, local teams are on their local TV screens. So even the people our age, we fucked with it. But we're at the age now to where we're buying the tickets. So the kids, they can't buy tickets. So they will only see it on TV local TV screens. So even the people our age, we fucked with it, but we're at the age now to where we're buying the tickets. So the kids, they can't buy tickets. So they only see it on TV or these ways.

Like you said, who would, does the league go through that? Anthony Edwards and them might be on a Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose status, but they might not be on the bronze, the FKD status. Yeah, I can see that. Bronze in the heat for the NBA for a lot of different things and being a great spokesperson. That's kind of hard to put him though, because like, I can see that. I don't, Bronson the Heat for them gave for a lot of different things and been a great spokesperson.

That's kind of hard to put him though, because like, I don't give a fuck about no other generation before that. I mean, you had Jordan, but it kind of skipped in the end of once and a half. Nah, it was Jordan and then they pushed Kobe. Think about it. Yeah.

Kobe, cause they had Kobe going, Kobe made the All-Star game, wasn't it? Second year. He did. And they had him going against Mike, and it was like Mike was supposed to be passing the torch to the young bull. And then,

he also won then too. Kobe ended up getting in a little trouble, whatever it was. So, you know what I mean? It didn't go how it was planned. Yeah, they ain't got no Kobe. Nah. Nah.

And then, Bron was there, it was just like. Them niggas don't got no Kobe, y'all. Y'all leaving the league in Zion wheels and the Tyrese hella burning hands. Shout out and Tyrese Halliburton hands. Shout out to Tyrese. I got to it yesterday. I got the receipts my nigga. Brian passed it to KD.

Like when Brian and KD started having them battles, he passed it to KD. But still was there. And then Steph came out of nowhere, be honest. He made a name. Davis and Steph, we never thought he had changed the league. Not changed the league, he came out of nowhere. He changed basketball drastically. He was dough-lo by himself.

But I think keeping the league alive, my boy, Anna, keep it alive at least. I mean, the league ain't on the watch. It ain't going nowhere, I mean, Victor. John Marant and Victor, you know, we don't know what he finna do. Yeah, fuck the league up, cause he's elite. Cause Brian went to a shitty situation too.

I ain't comparing him to Brian. I'm just saying, them Brian Cavaliers team, Swarp, Iron Neuble, Dianne Marshall. Dianne Marshall, you know, I fuck with you nasty, but. I remember what Ricky Davis said. They brought him in to help me. That was a real mini van. Back in the day, you know what I mean?

Dianne Marshall. Yeah, so it's kind of like the same with Wimby. You know, Wimby is looked at as the next megastar. But also I think the thing that kind of helped them a lot too is social media wasn't as prevalent. So we knew who they were, word of mouth. And if you saw them at tournaments, while they was on our TV, they was posh players.

We seen a lot of these kids grow up and now they men in the NBA. The lure ain't always there, like with Jordan. We knew certain stuff, but nothing was confirmed because there wasn't no social media. We would look at Jordan differently from the social media. We knew he's still a ghost, still elite, but we would talk about him differently

if we saw some of the things that we heard about. Yeah, I don't know. I just think when these, when all of our people that's our age out the league is going to be straight. I mean, it's still going to be a- It might be better to watch for real, because we still, we out of pocket for having expectations with KD, bro.

He 40. He's just hoopin', bro. You know, watch for real. Cause we still, we out of pocket for having expectations with KD bro, he 40. He's just hoopin bro. You know what's crazy, at one point we thought design was gonna be like the next, like phenom. Injuries though bro, that shit plays a part. That's like Derek, like Derek Rose bro. I probably was fucking with Derek Rose bro. He was on his way up.

You know, Thibs wanna play this nigga 102 minutes a game. I ain't gonna lie, D Rose, he, but he was the number one pick for a reason bro. Thieves wanna play this nigga 102 minutes a game. You know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna lie, D-Rose, but he was a level one pick for a reason, bro. He was a, he's still a icon. Nah, yeah, but I'm saying, you know, he had to stop really going crazy because he got injured. And I think Zion was on his way too, nigga.

You know, that bad body shit, you know? Yeah. He really, he got Kenny Smith knees, if you look at him for real though. You check him out. Who, Zion? Yeah, go watch him. Oh, damn. He got knock-in. I don't know look at him for real though. You check him out. Who, Zion? Yeah, go watch him. Oh, damn.

I don't know if that's a basketball though. That nigga built like a drag queen. Hey, she ain't got a pocket. She, you know you get old when you start laughing with your ass. They got a jolly laugh for sure. Damn, Zion having to touch your knees is wild. Hey, y'all see the dude that acted like LaMelo?

He was like, bro, he looked just like, bro. I don't care. I see Dave posted, bro. I didn't comment on that. That's him, bro. He started rolling. I said, I don't care what nobody say, bro. He looked like LaMelo, bro.

That was random. Shout out to the Patreons, built to add situations yesterday. We are the chasing Center SRs. Interesting words from Steve Curry yesterday, and Malcolm Inga, he killed yesterday too. Smooth 26, eight and four. Basically he was just like, I'm not gonna stop coaching you.

Like yeah, she was killing, but you did some bullshit. You took some terrible shots. Like I'm gonna still coach you regardless of how you feel about me and vice versa. That situation is still just kind of weird to me, man. I don't know how that's gonna work out. I hope you get paid, whether it be there or somewhere else, but that back and forth just seemed kind of weird to me man. I don't know how that's gonna work out I hope you get paid whether it be there or somewhere else but at back and forth just seen kind of off to me man coming is the problem definition of like a

Young a talent like he don't really know how to play but he just talented That's like most of the kids growing up now. I hate to sound like the old head to say that but like yeah when you watch basketball Or you coach it or you being around, people really don't know the fundamentals of the game, or really know how to play it. They just super talented, athletic, and stuff like that. And that's what the difference between a Jokic, a Luka, all these European players that come to the league,

they're skilled, but they understand the game. They got high IQs, they know how to play. And right now we just got a bunch of athletes who are super talented. For sure, and I think that's another reason why the NBA really trying to play at their flag in Europe because they like, all right, if we're getting these talents coming up here

playing the game this way, if we go ahead and tap in early, we can make sure our product is elite from the beginning, from its inception. That's gonna cause a lot of trouble or force people to play the right way, one or the other. We just gotta get back to the fundamentals in America. Like we super talented.

We saw everybody could shoot. Everybody got so much skill. We just don't know how to play the game right way. And then when you see all these talented players, they learn how to start playing the game. Like you see Jalen Green. He was like that his rookie years, you know, early second year. The super athlete didn't really understand the game. Now he's starting to understand the game.

And now you like, damn, Jalen Green is a player player. You know what I mean? He's starting to understand it and now their team is better. So hopefully Kamiga, I mean, he's good, but he just got to figure it out. Yeah, especially, so like you said, you get some of these kids want to donate or if they go like in his situation with the G League

at night, both of them may actually. Bro, you'd be giving up on lottery picks like 23, 24. It's just like, they could be cold at 25, but like you'd be giving up on lottery picks like 23, 24, it's just like, they could be cold at 25, but like you said, the tolerance for that shit is low, because everybody's coming for your job the next year. You better figure it out quick for sure. Pacers, you know what I'm saying,

five straight, six out of the last seven. I think we can get back to what we was on last year. Barbie. She ain't working today. Shout out to the Pacers, man. So that's your answer. All this much people be trying to quit on Miles Turner, bro. He actually a really good player, bro.

Yeah, he is. No, one of the best bigs in the game. I gave him a hard time. He's a top big, you know. I finally seen that they not gonna even talk about trading him good. I need to just give him my extension. Let him be a Pacer for life.

Cause then you ain't gonna find another big like him. That fits perfectly with Tyrese Halliburton. That's been my conversation with Miles the last couple of years, everybody. And I always applauded him cause that him Sabona situation was bullshit for both of them. I'm happy that they finally let them go be free together. But I always said, all right,

y'all can say what y'all want to about Miles. I complain about him too. But if you want to move on from him, who do you get in return? There's nobody you're going to get who can give you the value, especially for this team. And like, listen, man, when he's going over 20, this team is undefeated. So I know it's a lot to get him going sometimes pause.

But listen, when he's playing well, we're a really good team, man. Shout out to the Pacers. We back up because the East ain't shit. Speaking of the East, crazy game yesterday. 76ers over the Spurs yesterday, 111-106. And B crashed out first half. You should put him on a parlay over under if he was gonna play the whole game because that was crazy. I don't know what he was on yesterday, but then we had Andre Drummond get ejected and then got let back in the game

because the ref found out that Victor Mujerriata like flopped and she went to the ref and said hey, I mean the ref lady ref went to the coach and was like hey I fucked up we gonna get this shit right. That's crazy. Yeah, I'm the ref, lady ref went to the coach and was like, hey, I fucked up, we gonna get this shit right. That's crazy. Yeah, I'm sick of her. How do y'all feel about that? How do y'all feel about refs apologizing? I'm sick of.

They all need to apologize. Why they ain't apologizing to me the other day? Starting with these high school refs. Mike, take it from him. I don't know, I don't like refs, bro. I'm gonna keep it real. They a waste of time, they in the way. But, okay, somebody has to appreciate the game.

We only just need one. Give me that nigga that's been in the gym. I ain't gonna lie, that's a tough job though to have, like all joking aside, like every play, every call, somebody else is gonna complain about it. Somebody's not gonna like the call, you know what I mean? So that's a brutal job, but for her to fall for the okie doke with Victor, you out of pocket.

But I'm glad she made up for it, she, I fucked up. What's my boy name that we cool with, the white ref? Cocky Woodward. Rob. That's the only ref I like. Rob Realwood, downtown's finest. That's my dog, man. They need to get you up in the league, man.

Let's get him wicked. Nah, for sure, we gotta get Rob an NBA. Start the campaign next year. Shout out to my dog. Get my boy up there, man's my dog, man. They need to get you up in the league, man. It's getting wicked. Nah, for sure. I ain't not, we gotta get robbed in the NBA. It's on the campaign next year. That's my boy up there, man, for sure, man. Nah, y'all got a hard job. I'm talking shit. Y'all got a hard job,

especially dealing with these grown men. It's tough. And the NBA is no days off. Yeah, I know somebody called her out or something. Yeah, you know, they was very, very disreputable. That was her right there? Yeah. And listen, I know it's crazy,

but respect her for saying I fucked up. Yeah. That's crazy, man. It's her job. And Ignar's trying to hear none of that shit. No, y'all want equality. Yes, we do. Everybody deserves opportunity for equal jobs, sir.

Look at you, trying to be a ass. I'm trying to save us. I'm trying to save us. I'm trying to be a ass. I'm trying to save us. I'm trying to save us. Joel be doing too much though. That wasn't even for him, that was for Andre Drummond shit,

but yeah, Joel should have kept his ass out, man. He do be doing too much though. But your boy Max, he went crazy yesterday, 32, 10 to eight. That's a life for us, man, Trudy. PG 19 to nine, Winby went crazy yesterday, 26 to nine, eight blocks as well, man. He's unbelievable with that eight blocks.

For real, bro. That's crazy. Yeah, he's gonna, at one point, he's gonna have a crazy average of blocks and he's gonna be the best of all time, bro. He about to do some Yokey shit here soon. And it's gonna be like, damn, knew it was coming. Maybe I got one more year, bro.

One more year to deal with Wimpy. They gonna get that organization together, get that roster together, and it's gonna get spooky. Because when he gets to his prom, start his prom, you're more year, bro. One more year to deal with Wimby. They gonna get that organization together, get that roster together, and it's gonna get spooky. Because when he gets to his prime, start his prime, you're after next, bro. Ain't nobody gonna be fucking with him, bro. That ain't even gonna be his prime. Prime, your prime, he like 26, 27, like the startup.

Well, he a big man, so I wanted to give him a little bit of a window, because you know, they be aging like milk sometimes, so. Damn. But you know, Big Man get hurt early on. I just wanted to be killed. But I think, like you said, bro, he's gonna reign for everyone so they get that team together, bro. Wimby's unbelievable, bro. Yeah, he Man get hurt early on. I was wanting to be killed. But I think, like you said, bro, he's gonna reign for everyone

once they get that team together, bro. Wimby's unbelievable, bro. Yeah, he can't teach. It just needs some better players, bro. He can't rock with his team, though. Nah, that's why I said they gotta get that roster BBL for sure. They gonna need some hell of a, hell of a role. Shout out to everybody that play for the Spurs now.

I'm just saying y'all not. Y'all not a good fit for Wimby, what the league trying to do with it. The league need the Spurs to be back on pop level winning 40, 50 games a year at least, bare minimum. They gotta get him a PG. I know Chris Paul down there too, but they gotta get him a young PG to grow with him as well.

But man, Wimby is unbelievable. They would have been in the playoffs out East though. That's why I fuck with Wimby. Cause you out West bro, it's wicked out there. I think they got a chance to make the playoffs. They over 500. They gonna, uh. Nah, we gonna sham about them.

They definitely gonna make the play in. Nah, okay, turn up. They definitely gonna make the play in. But uh, I mean I think Chris Paul doing a good job over there with them young guys. Nah, for sure, that's what I said. They kinda be in that over there with them young guys. No, for sure. That's why I said, he took a role with them. He took a lead in that group.

Yeah, but. Damn, that's another one that's on their way out too. Damn. CP. Come on, man. We got the best air of them near. Oh, God. Basketball, for real, for real.

Cause CP is always talk in high regards in the PG Rage of all time. Yep. The Wayne Wade nigga, Kevin Durant, LeBron James. I don't know who our center is though. The White House. You gotta say Dwight. Damn, they don't be top five in the White though.

But, shit, the White House. It's respected though, I'm just saying our era so far is Hoop and James Harden, damn. We didn't kick in here. Yeah, the White's on all decades, I know what you're saying, but he's on all decades. He's on like top five in the position all the time. know what you're saying, but he's on all decades. He's on all decades. Top five in the division all the time.

Yeah, I'm saying, like, all these niggas, a lot of people feel like, ain't too many niggas better than Chris Paul, bro. Nah, he's- Wayne Wade, nigga. Rudy Garber. You kind of, James Harden, you damn near, Kenny. Top five.

Best four all time, nigga. And you, I- Melo. We got the best. Russ. Russ. Ain't a lot of people better than Russell Rusberg, either. Yeah. Yeah, we got the best. We got the youngest MVP There ain't a lot of people better than Russell Westbrook either. Yeah.

Yeah. We got the youngest MVP ever in our area. D-Rose. Damn. And somebody brought this up. They put, they said Julius Reddick looked like Blake in Detroit and y'all got Blake Griffin fucked up. When Blake Griffin was in Detroit, it was up.

If he didn't get hurt, bro, Blake was high MVP bow that year. Blake was killing when he got to Detroit, bro. He dragged him to the playoffs. He did, I just love Blake. He dragged me too. The Clippers though. Going crazy one lit. Black was killing when he got to Detroit, bro. He dragged him to the playoffs. He did, I just looked like him. He dragged the knee too. The Clippers though. Going crazy one leg.

But a lot of people, I mean, he ain't gonna get love. A lot of people wasn't as good as Blake Erickson either, bro. Blake was cold. Like I heard he was nasty. He was nasty. It's just, compare him to Charles Barkley and Malone and them, I ain't gonna do that to the 90s. Respect.

That's all I was saying. I won't go that far. I'm saying we really got people that's arguably top three, five, like in our era. Like, you know what I'm saying? So damn, that is crazy.

Jeff was the only one that believed in the Cavs for sure, but for me to lose every one of my dogs, bro, and everybody stepping up to the plate, the next man up and we winning. Come on, bro.

That's OG. Get that revenge game back too. Went back home and got right. For sure. The Bucks beat the Bulls yesterday, 112, 91. Chris Milson, 21 to5, good sign for him. B.P. went crazy yesterday, 19-13-6. Damn, good shit Bobby P.

Hey, Bobby P. be shooting like he know what option on the team, and I fuck with it. 19-13-6 is fire, that's a hard stat line. Yeah, that's a game to input. Close that line, where the, you know, step up to the plate nasty. Man, my favorite thing was watching him in that end season tournament championship game,

and that was just like, the stats don't count. And it was just like, you can kind of tell. Niggas just shoot shots, they know what it's like. Like, I ain't even fucking with my field girl percentage. It's up today. Yeah. Well, I think it's good. I think it's a game like that.

A free game, just to get your shit off. So, Clippers beat the Grizz yesterday 114-110. Call that one. MP 29, James Harden 21, 89. I ride for my nigga MP bro. I'm sleep on six rebounds from Triple J bro. I don't care who boxin' me out. Jerry Jackson Jr. can't have 24 or six?

I'm sleep bro. Six rebounds ain't enough. Nothing bro. Y'all been crazy 23 and six too, but you said six rebounds ain't good enough from All Star Big. Y'all supposed to get six boards bro. Damn, give me 10, give me nine, bro.

My pal really be killing. Nah, he be hooping. No, it's like MPC, bro. You earned your name, bro. You earned your Rucker Park name, bro. I still, I know he brings up a lot, but I still love the fact he was just like, Paul gone, cool, let's get to shoot more.

So, he live in his rhymes right now. And I'll fuck with that for sure. Thunder Bees and Wizards, no surprise. 123 to 105, SGA had 41 to nine, Jordan Poole had 31 to seven. It hit one of the craziest shots, bro. That volleyball line three was crazy. And then he looked at the crowd. Hey, I'm confident Jordan Poole jersey, bro.

We locked in, that's my dog. He did the type of shit I would do in the NBA if I had talent, bro. That shot was fucking hilarious, bro. Shout out to my fucking JP. He getting back to it, man. They so sad. That was just so terrible.

Shout out to my boy Shane, killing them niggas. 41 to nine is crazy. That needs to be talked about a lot more too. Yeah. Cause 41 is, I know we used to him doing that, bro, but that's crazy. Yeah, please, they had, wait, they had to nerve to clip up highlights for the Wizards.

They out of pocket. I know that's the NBA side. Don't you dare be giving us no Wizards highlights. Yeah, bro. So do my things. Why they good? Yeah. Hero.

Hero and JP. Hero and JP. Hero and JP. Hero and JP. That ain't even the half court shot. That's his normal shot. Nah, that wasn't the one. The bullshit one is coming up soon.

Oh no, they're going through the whole game. Yeah, we don't have time for whole Wizards highlight situation, but yeah, that shot is hilarious, man. Shout out to JP. Mads beat the Blazers yesterday, 132 to 108. Luca, 27, seven to seven. Light work at the office, Kyrie, 23. Then talk about their Blazers.

Yeah, Keele as usual. Get Wilson and Chauncey. That shit's still going, it's fucking hilarious, by the way, too. Nuggets. We already talking about. Yeah, we already got there. Christmas day. They got on there twice, that's crazy.

Christmas day games, man. How y'all feeling the first game? Spurs at Knicks, Wimby versus Kat. Really a weak lineup. Damn, you know nothing on this lineup of games? Damn. This lineup is kind of shitty. God, let's go through these games.

Spurs at Knicks, T Wolves at Mavs, 76ers at Celtics, Lakers at Warriors, and last but not least, Nuggets at Suns. Shitty game. Y'all ain't like none of them games? Shitty game. Damn. First, did you get up, we looked it up,

but how would you feel if you had to play on Christmas? Cause I feel like that's not like a big promotion. Like, yeah, you get to play in front of everybody, but who want to work on Christmas? I'll be ready. I'll be, that'd be dope to me, but shit, these are some shitty games. I know this was made before the season started.

We expected some different outcomes for a lot of these teams. If we could remix these situations, who would y'all put in some of these slots with some teams I think should get some of these situations? Like, let's start off with the Spurs and Knicks. Who would y'all sub in and out the situation? I don't know, but I would rather see

the Celtics versus the Mavs. Finals rematch on Christmas? I wanna see the Wolves versus the Nicks. Mm. I hope you saw that, it got spooky. I could do the Nuggets and the Suns, but you know. I mean, it is what it is. I get it, Wimby.

Hopefully Wimby get 50 50 just to make it exciting. Go crazy in the garden one time? Yeah. Happy garden moment, that'd be crazy. I think that Lakers Warriors game's gonna be good just because they led by older people. So off on the style trip, we go get some of that. I don't know if the game's gonna be crazy,

but they just might not be both as good, so it's a entertaining game. I mean LeBron might say, I got him on my leg too though for Christmas, but he might say, nah I just want to kick it with the fam. So y'all go out and hoop, you know what I mean? I'm getting ready for the night.

We having a house party. Nah, Bron will kill it Christmas bro. If you do that bro, that's crazy. This might be one of his last Christmas games bro. Y'all gonna be mad at Bron if he don't get 40? If Bron will get 20. I ain't never mad at Bron. Bron 60 years old.

Bro, smooth. Yeah bro, as long as he ain't getting out there getting like 15 or something like that, I'm cool bro. LeBron, I'm not asking him to matter, bro. Bro, I'm 60 years old. Smooth. Yeah, bro. As long as he ain't getting out there getting like 15 or something like that, I'm cool, bro. It's LeBron. I'm not asking him to go crazy, bro. See, DJ 15 is solid for bro. No, bro, LeBron.

I can't get 15. No, it's LeBron James, bro. I can't get 15, five and five. On Christmas, no. You came to league with 25 and five, so don't give me 15, five and five. I ain't worried about it. Mine's very good.

This thing is crazy. I ain't worried about it. Man, get well soon, bro. Go crazy, bro. That's every six years at Celtics game. We thought that was going to be an amazing game when it was announced. I don't know if they know that the NFL

was on their ass this year, but they're going to get to Beyonce doing that primetime slot and it's going to be real spooky. What Beyonce doing? The halftime show for the Ravens game. On Netflix. Christmas.

Oh, it's over with. NBA about to lose a me, myself, and I, bro. They gonna be pissed about it. Damn, boy. Beyonce a legend. Up the scale for sure. Any other teams y'all think should have been in this situation or y'all would have swapped out into? I would like to see a younger team get a little bit more

shot. I know they don't flex these types of games they prepare ahead of time, but I would love to see OKC playing with Christmas as good as they are right now. Yeah. OKC wouldn't have been bad. That's probably really it. I like OKC.

Even the Grizzlies, the team by Jot. I would like to see that. Those are some of the teams I think they should have put in them slots. But I mean, again, in hindsight it's crazy because we thought that all of these matchups beginning of the year would be elite. We thought that 76ers Celtics game would be crazy.

T-Wheels, Mavs, West Carolina Father be messed up. I'd rather the Bucks play the Celtics or the Bucks play the Knicks. I don't want to see the Spurs, bro. I ain't gonna cap. I don't either. Yeah, a Bucks Knicks and no one would have been fire. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That'd be a hell of a way to keep up with that.

Let me see Dame. I know Dame gonna show up for the holiday. I don't know what. Yeah, I'm cool off the Spurs. All right, so which game you guys gonna talk to y'all filming, yo? Oh, probably all of them. I probably, I probably still be asleep with the Spurs. All right, so which game you gonna talk to your family on? Probably all of them. I probably still be asleep on the next.

Yeah. I'll be up, I'm probably up cleaning my house. Yeah, I'm gonna bust some moves around that 76ers Celsius game, that's when we go see family who ain't around me. I don't think y'all understand how many trips I had to take with empty boxes, bro, to the dumpster. It'd be during these hours of these games.

My Thursday recap might be a little wicked. Live from the U-Haul, Bishop Hendricks. Sure. All right, man. Verified Buggers, who was getting to it yesterday? Probably my boy SGA. For sure. 41. I gotta, you gotta get it, bro.

41 is, I mean, I ain't gonna say it's light, but him being consistent like he has all year, I gotta give it to him. For sure man. For sure man, Bron's a little man. 28, 11, 11 bro. At 55 years old, he's still elite man. Gotta show some respect to Bron,

even though he lost to the Pistons. I'm gonna go with Kat, man. 31, 10, and seven. Elite. Been playing great for New York Knicks. Found his swag back when he got to New York. Now he's one of the elite bigs. He already was great,

but now he back to being top three in the league. Happy to see it. For sure man, hey shout out to Kat bro. You've been feeding families on Draft Kings. I appreciate you nasty. He cover every time I put him on my ticket. Nothing but love for Kat. I'm just a little bit jealous of Brown too.

I know they call her ill, but 35 and nine, there's nothing to be disrespected about. You was hoopin', especially the way that he plays basketball. God show some love for sure. All right, man. The last one for the holiday. Who needs some encouragement going to Christmas?

Be here, get well soon. Pray André Drummond, man. Killed him Johnson, boomin' on him like that. You got the clip. Hey man, first of all, getting fake injections from the game and then getting dunked on is crazy. They don't got the clip.
