Club Shay Shay - 520 In The Morning - Jeff Teague on Karl-Anthony Towns MVP season, Nikola Jokic triple-double, Bryce James to Arizona

Episode Date: January 2, 2025

On the Thursday, January 2 episode of 520 in the Morning, Jeff Teague, DJ Wells, and B Hen debate whether Karl-Anthony Towns is the best center in the East, better than Joel Embiid after his latest 30 point-20 rebound performance in the Knicks win over the Jazz. Nikola Jokic had yet another triple-double despite playing only 3 quarters in the Nuggets blowout win over the Atlanta Hawks. Currently sitting 3rd all time in triple-doubles with 144, will Joker catch Russell Westbrook’s NBA record of 201 by the time he retires? Finally, the guys react to LeBron James son, Bryce James committing to the University of Arizona, and talk about whether he has the talent to make it to the NBA like Bronny did. #Volume #ClubSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy New Year. Happy New Year, man. Yeah. 2025. For sure, man. We're gonna start it off right at the end of the right. Yeah. Y'all been DMing me. I'm locked in today.

Okay. Motherfuckers. Yeah, he... That question, that question. I'm locked in today. Okay. Motherfuckers. He don't be watching the game you did right. I ain't watch that weekend. That's ball period, y'all. I wasn't watching that weekend, but I was locked in yesterday. So now talk shit today.

You don't watch the game, see. You don't watch the game. Talk shit today, I'm locked in. After your inside, they said that push, you go to the area, they said we start getting sources till you didn't like that. I had took a break.

I was tired of watching bad basketball, but I'm back now. Me having my insiders and watching the game just raised my level up in the world. You can't get out here. Pyro-ranking. For sure. Listen man, it's good basketball took place last night. Kat went crazy.

We spoke about him all last year. He started off the year the right way, man. Going crazy as they took care, you know what I'm saying? Other Jazz, no problem, even with Brunson out. Other two players stepped up for sure. You had Bridges with 27, OG with 22, Josh Hart 15, 14 and 12, Trippie Dub and last but not least Cat, 31, 21 and four.

Championship Knicks, man. I mean, I don't know if they're Championship Knicks, but they're playing at a high level with JB being out for Cathaly, the team, and the other guys to step up and play well. I mean, we expect that though, going against a Utah team. I mean, I think they're playing for the number one pick, so it really doesn't matter, but seeing Sexton

and Clarkson having big nights, they're capable scorers that should be on the trade block. Ah, for sure, listen, they both had 25 yesterday. They are definitely auditioning for a new team as well. And they deserve to be free as well, man. Those are two really solid guards right there. Landon Shimmie also getting back with the Knicks. That's another little sneaky pickup for that team too, man.

Another knockdown shooter. I know he was out with a shoulder injury thing. Yeah, so welcome him back. They did the right thing by bringing him back. I think he got hurt with them. So bringing him back is pretty cool though. Man, listen, we look at these rotational players for the Knicks, it's about the contributions

they have for this team man. A triple dub, not even random but just slight for Josh Hart yesterday, contribute 15, 14 and 12. We talk about OG and Bridges, them getting 20 plus. Amen, they might get an Easter run for their money man. You know, I will talk about them to Paul a little bit later but if they would keep playing at this level man and getting these type of contributions man, they're gonna be a I will talk about it in the pod a little bit later, but if they would keep playing at this level, man, and getting these type of contributions, man,

they're gonna be a really tough team to beat in the playoffs. They done found their groove, bro. It's a nice game. Winstreeck is good for them, because they started off real, real slow. You know what I mean? So, someone at the locker room, not saying it was messed up,

but they came like, damn, Kat, just kill. We gonna fall in line, basically. I know Dante's sick. Yeah. Bro, you gotta be sick, bro. The leader squad, they still doing well. And you know, the me and Minnesota

where it's an up and down struggle right now. I know he's sick for sure. That's right, he probably feel like how like Damar felt when he left Toronto. Yeah, he got a chip. He's got to really click him for real. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, cause the Knicks,

I ain't gonna say they better than Boston, but they been looking real good, bro. Yeah, they poppin'. They poppin' right now. That's lit in New York. Yeah, for sure. And the chemistry is obvious. I think that's what's dope about it, too.

You got a lot of different pieces you brought in. Everybody gotta get along, and it just seemed to work as well. Obviously, you said they're letting Kat kill, and then having JB as your closer, and you got phenomenal role players in that team. That's a really good team. They have a great in that team. That's a really good team. They have a great team.

Yeah, it's a really good team. I'm nervous about they bench though. I don't think they got a bench. You name somebody off the bench that's doing anything for me, I would love to see. I know Tibbs don't play nothing but five or six people, but I mean, pressure's a chore. He have moments where he's good,

but I don't know on the playoffs, he gonna need somebody that come off that bench and give's a chore. He have moments where he's good, but I don't know on the playoffs, he gonna need somebody that come off that bench and give you a spark. I know Campagne had big moments during his son's run off the bench. Maybe he could bring something, but. Miles McBride, I'm sure once he gets back, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, I mean, he had moments last year. That was great, but I don't know if. That's enough? Yeah, I don't know if they got that super X factor off the bench right now. Also, Mitchell Robinson looking like, you know what I'm saying, he might come back in the next month or so. So, you still waiting on that.

You don't like that as a backup B for Kat? Okay, respect. Mitchell is smooth as a backup. I think he can contribute for the team for sure. But I think what I'm scared of is they lack of experience. When they come down, like Boston already did that. So shit might get spooky with them. Them different whites in them finals.

So I don't know. Yeah, I mean, there's a couple of those guys who've been to the conference finals. We're not a couple really. I mean, Bridget went to the finals. Nah, he did, but I'm thinking about the team though. Cat been to the conference finals. I mean, as a team together, they have the experience.

You're right, Boston have. They got the same team from last year. But I don't know, it's interesting. I just think that six men off the bench gonna have to play a big role for them. I just, somebody, they gotta get somebody else that can have an explosive night. Boston got more interchangeable parts

than New York. What position y'all think do they need? Cause I think, I'm looking at this roster right now and I'm thinking if they get someone else that's like firepower wise, they need somebody that's probably at the two. Cause everywhere else I feel like they just fine at. I think they need a backup big.

Cause Kat gonna get in foul trouble. Mostly I promise you Kat gonna get in foul trouble. They need a backup big. You like Mitchell Robinson. I don't, I don't love him. I wish they could have kept Hardenstine then his team would be perfect. Obviously.

Oh, obviously he'd be the best team ever. One of the best teams that, it'd have been great. I mean, they back up big, it's a top 10 center or whatever if they had Hardenstein. But they need another big that can make, like, can be effective on offense, because Kat is killing. But when you bring Mitchell Robinson in,

he's just a live threat. I got you. You take away from that. Yeah. And precious, I mean, I don't know if that's what they look for as well, but that is a very valid point. It was one thing we know Kat gonna do as well.

He gonna foul, bro. And in the post season, when we get to them teams where it's a little bit closer, you get to the Milwaukee's themselves again. Let's say they run into Philly, and let's just say Philly healthy, and the Knicks run into Philly. I.M.B.

I.M.B. Yeah, he's going foul. He ain't gonna have no choice. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. We're looking at the Jazz as well. We talk about a lot of pieces on that team

that could help some other teams. We talk about Laurie Mark and Walker Kessler, Sexton and Clarkson. You think either of those guys are gone pretty soon? Help Laurie, help Laurie get out of there first. Get Laurie out of there soon? Help Laurie get out of there first. Ah, get Laurie out of there? Yeah, get him out of there first. Okay.

I can see Sexton and Clarkson going to help some teams that need guard play, or like you said, bench play. Damn, they won six for 22, shit. What a night. Hey, I'm maxed play, I shoot and I want to. Six for 22 is nasty, but I'm still shooting anyway. So what? Who won six for 22, Laurie?

Yeah. I don't know who they let, I don't know. I know all of them probably on the block, but I don't know who they let go. Like, I don't even care. I know Jordan Clarkson can help a bunch of teams. Sexton too, he got the capable ability to score and guard, but I don't know.

We'll see. But y'all, we ain't too pressed about the Utah Jazz updates, neither are they. Not at all. Ever. The Nuggets got the win yesterday over your Hawks one, 39 to one, 20 man, third straight win. Beat they ass.

Yeah. It was a tough game. They got spooky and Joker went crazy, triple dub in three quarters, 23, 17 to 15. And that's incredible, man. I know we'd be saying this a lot, but it's every night he's putting up like ridiculous numbers. APJ 21 to four, Jamal Murray had 21,

Russell Westbrook 16 to 11, but Trae Young still had 39. Now hold on, is that four assists or four rebounds? Who? Oh yeah, we gotta make sense. I believe it's four assists. I know last time, yeah, I had to turn. We put Smut on his name cause we know he don't pass, but.

I had him with eight assists last time. Yeah, that was cat, but it was four assists tonight. My boy got four assists. We put Smut on his name, because we know he don't pass. But had him with eight assists last time. Yeah, that was cat, but it was four assists tonight. My boy got four assists last night. He was doing his thing, playing out of his body. That's probably his career high. Yeah. I mean, y'all guys. NBJ is not known for swinging.

My boy had four assists, they was bound to win. Hey, that's funny. If we look at all the triple doubles and something happened this game, and we happy that NBJ got four seasons, that's nasty. You know what? That's already my very fine bucket. Wait, it's only two?

Oh, that's only two? Yeah, four rebounds. See? We got catfish to get. I told you. I told you. We be getting sent to hell by our own production team. He was almost my very fine bucket out the gate.

I didn't tell by own production team. He was almost my very first book and that's the gate. Hey that was hilarious. Shout out to EMPJ man. I knew it had to be something. That's crazy, he really don't pack. That's why we said force, we were so excited. I was locked in. That's really crazy.

That's hilarious man. Nah but Westbrook like, yeah, he missed one shot in the last two games. It's probably the most efficient basketball he been playing. That's really crazy. That's hilarious, man. Nah, but Westbrook, like, yeah, he missed one shot in the last two games. It's probably the most efficient basketball he's been playing. That's crazy. Do he continue to be a starter now, since they're in the groove,

even though Aaron Gordon is out? Do you let him keep starting, or do you bring Aaron Gordon back? Nah, you're gonna have to bring Aaron Gordon back. I don't think he should. In the groove, though. You're hooping right now. Yeah. Is that how it works in the NBA, though? No. I mean, most of the time, you don't lose your starting. You're in the groove though. You're hooping right now. Yeah.

Is that how it works in the NBA though? No. I mean, most of the time you don't lose your starting job. Not most teams, but like with the Hawks, motherfucker been like, yeah, you're gonna keep coming off the bench. That's how, that's how a bug work. But it used to work, but I was just wondering,

cause they playing so well. And I think it's freeing up Murray a little bit with, you know, Westbrook able to run the point. He can kind of go to his natural position, which is a two guard. And he kind of playing a little free. So now you got two point guards basically on the floor with Joker and Westbrook.

Cause Joker, we know he had pass first big or whatever. But now you got Westbrook, who's been being like the ultimate point guard right now. You know, he only shooting six, seven shots a game. He just making them. He had been efficient. He being super efficient. And now it's freeing up Murray to be able to be himself. He just making them. He had been efficient. He been super efficient. And now it's freeing up Murray to be able to be himself.

I don't know. Do you continue to work with that? I mean, you probably gonna see a lot of that lineup now. Cause it's obviously they jelling. I was just wondering, but I'm sure Gory gonna get his starting spot back. But it's interesting. It's a thought for sure.

Like you said, I mean, I think like you said, NBA we know when it comes to that money situation, he gonna be back in the starting lineup, but do we see that lineup a little bit more often than not? I don't know, Mike Mull is a great coach, so I would imagine he gotta keep it back in the head if he's working for sure. I'm sure we'll see that lineup a lot.

Do you think they still need to add another piece? I know we talk about this a lot, but they still need to get another score off the bench for that team? Yeah, I don't think they need to go for Kim no more. I think they starting to find a groove with MPJ. Maybe leave Kim over there in Brooklyn right now, but they might need to find one more piece

that can score off that bench. I don't know exactly who. I don't know who fits that system. I know Jordan Poole can play in that system, but he makes so much money, I don't think that's gonna add up. That would be a hell of a trade. Yeah I know Jordan Poole can play without the ball.

He played with the Warriors so obviously you know he know how to play real basketball but I don't think he'd make too much money to be over there. I'm not sure who has a smaller contract that fits that system. Yeah I was gonna say I know MPJ getting paid too but I still think Jordan Poole is getting paid more than that so they'd have to do more if they wanted to do that situation. Yeah I would. Now they both on max deals, but I wouldn't trade MPJ for Jordan Poole.

That's a bad trade. Cause you get smaller. Yeah, but that's the only contract I think that you could match up. Like you said, it would take a lot to make that happen for him. But that would be dope if they made it happen though. And they didn't leave him.

They'd be paying a lot of money to people cause they just got paid too. Yeah, I mean, the money won't add up, but who's a smaller wing that can score that you think it might, like a Cam Thomas? I was gonna say Cam Thomas was my next stop. Well, yeah, he. I don't know if he ever played winning basketball really,

but it's time to bring your ass off that bitch. Yeah. We'll figure everything else out. He definitely can score that. He definitely come off that bitch and score it though. I'm something on him and Russ off that bitch. Will figure everything else out. He definitely can score that. He definitely can come off that bitch and score it though. I'm something on him and Russ off the bitch. At the one and two, he can definitely score. Yeah, it's scary.

Yeah, Russ gonna set him up perfectly to do what he do best. He definitely can score. They fucking gonna be unbeatable, bro. For sure, man. Trae Young still had 39, nothing to sneeze at for sure, man. Damn, that's crazy. I won't even looking at the,

I ain't even read the thing. Like day nine and two of Rushbrook starting. I was just saying it because it was in the groove. That's funny. My bad, y'all. I'll start reading this shit before we start. All right, well, Rushbrook leader of Proof Nobles all time, 201, shout out to production team.

Love y'all. Joker got 144, started all time. You think he gonna get up to catch Rushbrook? No. No. That's tough. No. 201 to 144 ain't too far off, y'all.

He ain't damn or done unless he fuck around and hang it up. I said no at first, cause I didn't know it was a fucking 144 of them. So he gotta get one man. That ain't far bro. Basically 60 more. But Westbrook's still playing too. I was gonna say,

Russbrook is still playing, but the funny gonna say, Rustbrook is still playing, but the funny part is, what if Rust is start hating on him, but he got tenaces, nah, I ain't shooting this bitch. You got, nah, you ain't catching my record. Oh my God, he's doing some shit. Cause I don't think Rust is still healthy. Rust gonna have to keep going. Rust gonna need shit 12 a season.

I mean, I don't know. A nigga getting this, he getting this every day. Yeah, I don't know. A nigga getting his, he getting his every day. Yeah, I don't know if he gonna get the triple doubles. Jeff, he's getting his every day. Y'all play 185 games a year, bruh. Yeah, he get a lot of double doubles. I mean, obviously he got a lot of triple doubles, but. And they don't even be like barely,

they don't be 10, 10 to 10, they be 30, 20, 15. He only has 60 games, bruh. Yeah, I mean, a triple double is hard to do. He ain't done. I mean, I'm not saying he ain't, a triple double hard to do. I mean, how many you ever- 30, 13, 18.

What year is this for- Nine, bro. Year nine. He could do this three more years. So how many triple doubles is that a year? So if you're going to- Nine divided by 144. If he is that a year? So if you're going to, if Rayleigh says that. Nine divided by 144. If he get 30 a year for three years, he'll catch Russ.

Bro, that's not even, that's a... So he get four a year, basically. Yeah, I was like four a year. I'm like, yeah, no. Whoa. Nine times four is 36. Y'all disrespecting the arts. Yeah, how many you four a year. I'm like, yeah, no. Whoa. Man, that's what, man. Four is 36. I'm like. Y'all disrespecting the arts.

Yeah, how many you get a year? Can you carry the one? No, the bottom, Bob, 144. He gets 16 on average. Damn. That's hard. I mean, 16 on average, he got a year, nine. Yeah, he gon' blow out the water.

He not gon' play 16 years. Oh yeah, that's- He's gon' shatter it, bro. Yeah. He's gon' shatter it. I think he can catch it. Let's say, yeah, he gon' catch him. Yeah, if he play, if he play,

if he play the year 14, 13, yeah, he gon' catch him. Yeah, he gon' catch him. Getting some holiday shopping done this weekend, pick up some touchdowns.

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. 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 are 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 iHeart radio app, Apple podcast, and wherever you get your podcast.

And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the

business world and our lives. So each week on Big Technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it. Asking where this is all going, they come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and plenty more. On Wednesdays, I feature interviews with top leaders like Airbnb CEO, Brian Chesky. Well, I'm in the details.

Let me just say this. I actually stay in the details of the product. And on Friday's analyst, Ron John Roy and I recap the week's news, looking at everything that's happened in the world of AI. That is an emoji red flag for me. I'm putting it up. Three emoji red flags. They told me they're going to fix Siri.

So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices, in meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. It's getting them every day. Congrats to Joker, bro. He gonna catch you.

For sure, man. That's crazy that they even buffing the same team like that, too. That's what's hard about it, though. You know what? You know Joker been you know what, Russ is probably, you know Joker been doing his thing, but Russ probably giving him some more game like, think on this night you can do this, this is how I relax and got this one. And it's crazy that Russ got this with having like years

that we thought was subpar, he didn't get the opportunity to do what he do best. Is Joker averaging a triple double though this year? He's almost there. What's even crazier though is, Russ did that at 6'3". For two years. Okay, so we don't place it no better. Well, he's a point guard.

Russ did it at 6'3". That's what makes it so unique, he's a point guard. So did, what's the, he got a terrible name, Oscar Robson. He has a terrible name. He did it, he did it about that height too. Respect man, let's move on. Shout out to Big Ol' Mike. Again. His name is terrible.

The lineage. You know I'm on that ever since their Pro-M game. It's been beef with the nephew since. Give us some of the Robinson Philby. The 76ers blow an all point lead with three minutes left in the game. Mr. The Louves to the Kings 113 to 107. De'Aaron Fox went crazy yesterday.

35-4 Malik Monk, Dubb two, Sabona 17-21 to seven. 21 rebounds is insane. That's crazy. You played that ball for real, for real. PG had 38-5, and Tyrus Maxx had 27-7. Man, I don't know if it says more about the Kings or it says more about the 76ers for this game.

It's the 76ers. When they blew a lead. They had the game in a wrap three minutes ago. Blow a nine point lead, I mean, piff. It's a lot of time in the NBA. Yeah, but you got proven players in Paul George, proven player in Tyrese Maxey. I know Embiid didn't play,

but you gotta be able to bring that home. You know what I mean? But Fox and them are playing it all. They hooping. You know, you're playing free now. They got a new coach. Doug Christie out there letting them play free. Fox probably having the time of his life. So, I don't know.

I guess I would say that the Kings are playing on the high right now. I don't know. I mean, it's a bad loss for the Sixers. Cause y'all can't afford them. Is it though? Cause they playing on the high and it's on the road. But y'all can't afford, they Sixers can't afford to lose on the high and it's on the road. But y'all can't afford,

they Sixers can't afford to lose. Yeah, no more blunders. Yeah, they can't bro. They trying to give it into the playoffs. So. And the Kings going through some turmoil as well. They ain't trying to tank. Yeah, they ain't trying to tank.

I don't know what the Kings trying to do, but I know for sure the Sixers not trying to tank. They at least want to be playing in worthy. We can't afford losses like that. That's true. For sure. I want to ask y'all a question. We can't afford losses like that. That's true. For sure. I want to ask you a question. We talked about guards in the East making it,

does De'Aaron Fox get an All-Star game average in 27, six and five? Having a hell of a year. But it is the West. I don't know if he make the All-Star team cause they pretty low on them standards. What are they in the West? Scroll to the bottom.

11, 12. They're 12th. 12th. Another case. Another case of LaMelo. Y'all let y'all do y'all thing. Let's stay right here if you could scroll to the top, please, of the guards in the West.

Obviously, I don't think he makes it over James Harden. Just because of the way James Harden has the Clippers playing, I think that he'll get the nod. He's played more than John Moran. John Moran's been hurt a lot. But he gonna be a fan vote. Luca will be out.

Kyrie? That's the question. Does he make it over Kyrie Irving? I say no because he's been carrying the load while Luca's been injured this year a lot. Yeah. He might make it. Do we make it over Steph Curry? What's Steph Curry averaging?

I mean, obviously. Steph Curry will be starting to also again. Obviously, the fans gonna vote that, but. Damn, he might get snubbed. He might get snubbed. I don't know if we can say snubbed just for the team record, but I mean, Aaron Fox been fucking hooping.

But yeah, it might get spooky for that. D. Fox gotta make it, man. I think he gonna make it, too. He gotta make it, bro. I don't believe it's his fault. Stats is crazy, bro. What's Kyrie's stats, if you don't mind me? Cause that's, that'd be a-

D. Aaron Fox, average of 27 and nine. Y'all can't snub me, bro. 27 and what? Nine and six. Hell nah. That's 27, six and five. But Kyrie what? 24, four and five, basically?

That's same thing. Yeah, but we not 12th and the west. Yeah, he making it. Kyrie makes it. Yeah. I'm saying Jamal Murray, no. No. Nah.

Rockets, guards, no. Nah. James Harden, yes. Anthony Edwards, yes. Spurs getting wimpy for sure. But that ain't no doubt. You got a chance. You gotta put KD in there.

Devin Booker or D.A.R. Fox, who's going? D.A.R. Fox. It is him going D.A.R. Fox. Cause I'm sure that Devin Booker don't have a 27. D.A.R. Fox is better than Devin Booker. Whoa. You rolling with that? I'm standing on that shit.

Okay. How you feel about that? I'm not mad at it. I like De'Aaron Fox. I just wanna see you get a kiss. I like your take. I'm not mad at it. I mean, if I'm starting a team, I'm taking D-Book, I'm taking De'Aaron Fox.

I love D-Book. D-Book cold. We're talking about two cold players. For sure. But if you're starting a team, you taking De'Aaron Fox or Devin Booker? Yeah, I'm saying, cause that's my leader, my point guard, I'm taking De'Fox.

So you'd rather build around De'Fox and Devin Booker? Yeah, De'Fox is gonna be elite on any team he's on. But if I need some, what if my, rest of my team is them or the Duds? So you're saying he can't lead the group like De'Aaron Fox? No. I ain't mad at that type. Like I said, this is two great players,

but I'm not mad at that. I mean, look, Devin Booker is ill, cold, elite, but if I'm, D-Aaron Fox is like a dominant point guard. He was talking about starting the team, leading the team. I'm rocking with him. I'd rather have a shaky two guard, like, not shaky, but I don't want to depend on my two guard to lead my team.

I'd rather have a elite PG over a elite two guard. I agree with that. To get a team rocking. I agree with that. I didn't like when Devin Booker played point guard last year. Yeah, I don't think he was comfortable. I didn't think it was comfortable. It didn't make sense.

Yeah, it didn't look good. Yeah, he gets paid a lot of money to put the ball in the basket. So he's not gonna pass it to other people. So you put De'Aaron Fox on that Suns team, you trade him for Devin Booker. That Suns team way better. He look way better.

Yeah, it's a little bit different. Because now Bradley Bill can breathe. Yeah, he can play his role. He's playing him, this is the debug team. I don't want to do too much. Let me get my little 17 and chill. And then you can get on that team with De'Aaron Fox, bro, he's back to 20 plus.

De'Mar De'Rozan is averaging still 20 points along with De'Aaron Fox right now. Yeah. So, I don't know. De'Aaron Fox is more of a scoring guard, I wouldn't say he's a pure point guard. He is a point guard. He's not a pure point guard,

but I just feel like he don't need the ball as much as De'Aaron Booker need the ball. It's better to me, I feel like it's better having De'Aaron Fox averaging 20 with another Nick averaging 20 over D'Book. Cause it don't seem to force. You don't like how D'Book gets his 20. I like how he get this one.

Compared to De'Aren Fox. De'Aren Fox. You have another, like, if Devin Booker had De'Andre Hunter, I think it'd be different. Cause De'Andre, I mean, De'Andre Hunter know how to get in where he fit in. Bradley Beal's a star, bro.

Kevin Grant is a icon. I mean, we ain't gonna snitch on nobody, but my mother did tell us it was hard playing with some niggas, like, cause the egos and shit. So, I don't know, I just think roleplayers would be better fit with Devin Booker than De'Aaron Fox. That's all I'm saying.

De'Aaron Fox can rock with two other killers. For sure. The book is a focal point. I ain't mad that I take it off. Great explanation as well, for sure. Listen, between a focal point. Hey man, that take it all. Great explanation as well for sure. Listen, between these two teams underperforming, who y'all think can turn around? We talk about the Sixers day to day,

but then they do moments like this where they blowing games they absolutely need. I mean, Embi out, so when Embi plays, I think the Sixers can turn it around. Obviously, I think they have a better team with Embi. The Aaron Fox and the Sacramento, I think they have a better team win. The Aaron Fox and them, the Sacramento, I think they playing on the high. You know what I mean?

I think, but once they leave Sacramento and they get on the road, they last two games been at home. Once they hit the road, we'll see if they're really serious about this turnaround or if they're really comfortable with Doug Christie at the, running the show or whatever. So we gotta see them on the road.

For sure. And shout out to Doug Christie getting the nod. You know what's funny? I wonder like some of those assistant coaches, it's like being a backup quarterback. Like you always ready, but like, damn, I didn't think I was going to play today. Doug Christie was not expecting to have a real job

like responsibilities probably the rest of this year. I wonder if he really wanted that role though. I mean, I know when you get into coaching, it's like, oh yeah, man, if I was running it. Cause I remember a guy, shout out to Ryan. He used to always talk about, man, when I become a head coach I do things like this and one day they like, you the head coach.

And he was like, oh shit. And he wasn't doing nothing, like he said he was gonna do it. Everything went back to like, well just run the play he used to run. You know what I'm saying? Doug is a development coach too though, so that probably is a hard task for him to attack.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. It was like, dang. especially no off season to prepare. You just got thrown into the fire and you got to deal with a whole, they probably just like, I'm just trying to make sure you get out here clean. He's comfortable with that team though. Yeah, he's probably locked in with them.

He really been around the Kings organization for a long time with that player development. But like he said, I'ma just get out they way. I'ma let De'Aaron do his thing. I'ma let Deebo do him. I'ma let Monk do them. It's a bonus to him. I'ma get out they way. I'ma let De'Aaron do his thing. I'ma let Deebo do him. I'ma let Monk do them. It's a bonus to him. Like I'ma get out they way.

They know what they like. They know what they need to run. They know who can play. I respected that though. For sure man. Shout out to Doug Creason man. Take advantage of Opportunity King. Bryce James commenced to Arizona.

Packed, well I forgot what it is. It was a pack whatever now. So there's everybody on the left. But I have 12 now. Six maybe. Hey, I feel about that, man. That's a crazy situation, not crazy, but it's interesting choice for sure.

So yeah, offers plenty of different places. We know that for sure. Look, is Gilbert's son going here? Is this a basically Gilbert's son that goes to Arizona to call his dad? I don't know where Gilson going. Because they are- That'd be far if they linked up there.

They friends though. And I don't, I'm not no disrespect. Oh, he going with this guy. Yeah, I just, I don't know if this is the overlay for the underlay. I don't want to say like, I'm not calling Bryce James little Romeo. Yeah. I don't know. He Bryce James Little Romeo to my door.

Yeah. Romeo, he Romeo the Debo. I was just asking like, is that the bait to get him to Arizona? Pull up my nigga. Because we, you know. By God already. Yeah, like I think, I think Bryce James,

if he goes to Arizona, he's gonna play. But I just wanna know the, I just wanna know the play. Okay, respect. That play. But I just wanna know the play. Okay, respect. I just wanna know the play. I like Brace James. I ain't beefing with him. I was kinda a little disappointed when I seen him this summer,

and he wasn't 6'7 or 6'8 in person. When we saw him at the pack, he was 6'3. He done a little taller than Jeff. But outside of that, no problem. Hey, I'll- Cause you just don't go to Arizona for no reason, bro. I don't care what nobody's, no you do not, Jeff. Arizona is not, UNC dude.

You go to Arizona cause your dad is LeBron James. Yeah, it's at grad school. Michael Jordan's son went to Illinois cause his dad is Michael Jordan. Oh, shout out to what's my little dude name? Jeffrey Jordan, and he was decent though. I ain't gonna hate that. Nah, Jeffrey was smooth.

He just wasn't D Brown now. Jeff was better than Bryce.. Jeff was better than Bryce. Jeff Jordan was better than Bryce. Hey, you know, it's quiet. I swear to God he was. I played Jeff Jordan. I played him. I played him.

He had bounce. He had dumb bounce. My mama, he had bounce, so I'm tapped in. He had dumb bounce. But. Man, I didn't say Marcus though. Bryce James. You know, Marcus is the best I defend with.

Marcus is better than his daddy. That's the real MJ. So we know smut ever on him. But, Bryce James is better than Jeffrey Jordan. He's not. Bronny's better than Jeffrey. But Bryce is not better than Jeffrey. If they ever did a lineage versus that'd be hilarious.

Who lineage is better though? No, cause Ronnie made it to the league. So no, yeah. I'm the gate. Nah, I'm good. Nah, I'm fucked then. My DeJorda family. Nah.

The longevity is different. Cause that's what y'all do when y'all compare the best players. Y'all niggas take shit off court. I be trying to stay on the court. Y'all take off the court. Yeah, I'm on the court with it. And the J.H. family could never.

Off the court. Off the court. Oh no. They should never. You should never. If they catch Barney out there like Marcus boy, they would try to kill that family, bro. All love to the Jordan family on this fucking show,

for sure. But little brother always the wild one. Like go to Arizona is a, I want to have fun. Man, Barney's about to have the best life ever Like, go to Arizona is a, I want to have fun. Man, Brian's about to have the best life ever, bro. He about to move, turn up, I'm with my dog. Is Jello better than Jeffrey Jordan? What's going on everybody?

Probably. Nah.

Jeff you wild. Nah. Jeff Ewell. Probably yeah. He played at Illinois. Jeff Ewell. They don't play UCLA. Jeff Ewell. He did not play. If he used to the sunglasses, he wouldn't play.

He did not play. Jeff Ewell. Jeff Jordan was good, bro. He wasn't even here. Joe was in the G League though. Yeah, that's right. Jeff Jordan, how did y'all need to play G League? My daddy is the league.

What are you talking about? He went on the broadcast though. It could have been. Cap, Cap bro. Jeff Jordan was pretty good bro. I'm not hating him. He was bro, but you said he better than Jello Ball. It's crazy.

I shouldn't say he better. Nowhere near. I don't know. They both play at U.S. I'm sleep bro. What was Jello around. I'm sleep bro. What was your little rant? I'm sleep. Jeff didn't go to UCF.

That was a little brother. Nah, he went to Illinois. Boy, your Google all fucked up. He went to Illinois and he played. That was Marcus. Stop putting A. It's like Jeff Teague's award that got passed to somebody else. Oh God.

Hey, we gotta talk about that on the morning show. Nah, we talked about that last night. Nah, there's a great story in the pocket about how he may or may not want MVP or return of it. Still be announced. They wrote it on paper, but they gave James Harden my award. Damn bro, you said Jeffery is better than, no bro.

I ain't gonna say he better. I don't know, Mello did kill in high school. Yeah, Jello, Jello got some- Jello, what? Yeah, I mean Jello. Mello, my fault, no disrespect Mello, but Jello, he did kill in high school. Jello can who?

Yeah bro, he didn't have a major league, I mean I don't have a fight with him. Did he make it to the league though? Damn right, it was a G-league. Is that damn right, they're making it to the league now? He had a hornet's run bro, he got a hornet's jersey bro. We'll have to verify that, But shout out to Bryce James, shout out to you, college rep. He ain't no disrespect to Jello.

Cause I think- No, hell no, he ain't no disrespect. Cause when they was in high school, they was cold, but I think we disrespecting Jeff Jordan. He was actually good. No, we're not disrespecting him. No, I said, bro, I spartied up. That nigga could jump out the gym, bro.

Yeah, for sure. But he could not score the ball like Lienzlo, bro. Lienzlo did under 34. So when I say player, I mean as part of, you put him in a game, how effective will he be? Jello got buckets. I'm taking Jello. We gotta set the verses now.

At Dyckman and. At Illinois, Jeff Jordan did get in the game. I didn't never see him in UCLA and y'all, I think you see it. Because of the allegations. China. We was stealing bro. Yeah bro. I ain't get in the game. I didn't ever see him in UCLA. And y'all, I think you see it. Because of the allegations. China. We was stealing, bro. Yeah, bro.

I ain't the only thing. I feel better now. You just didn't get caught. Yeah, for sure, man. Let's go through these games, last time. Y'all are crazy. Pistons beat the Magic 105, 96. Jaden Ivy had 22, but well wishes to him.

I know he got a pretty bad injury yesterday. Had to take him off on the stretcher, so. Prayer is up. Yeah, prayer is up for Jaden Ivy, for sure, man. Well wishes, Kay, to him. I know he got a pretty bad injury yesterday. Had to take him off on the stretcher. So, prayers up. Yeah, prayers up for Jaden Ivy for sure, man. Well wishes, Kay Cunningham, 19, eight and nine. That one sucks, had 24. Yeah, that was just a tragic game. Matt Pistons got the dub. Had too much to speak about there,

but please get well soon with Jaden Ivy for sure. Wizards beat the Bulls yesterday, 125 to 107. Jordan Poole had 30. Poole party. And then Zach LaVine had 32, another name we ain't spoke about that probably needs to get moved on from as well. Zach LaVine, yeah, they need to fireself both of them teams. The Wizards are so funny, they star all the young guys.

All the veterans come off the bench and play 20 minutes. I've been there before, get out, hurry up, get up. Get out, I was there on the Hawks. I know y'all got, out. Hurry up. Get up. Get out. I was there on the Hawks. I know y'all got, I seen it, Kuzma. Y'all got max 22 minutes. I see it. Get out of there, bro.

Yeah. Yeah, I seen it. I seen Vucovic. I said, oh damn, everybody only played 22. That's because they on the block, bro. They said, y'all not getting hurt. You know how that shit goes. Look at them numbers though. All the veterans, bro. On the block. They said, y'all not getting hurt. You know how that shit go. Look at them numbers though.

All the veterans, 22 minutes, 27. That's funny. It's 48 minutes game. They can set out a whole half. Go ahead and get out of there, y'all. And they need Calcos to play. That is crazy. I don't know what they're gonna do, but.

Well, nah, nah, they in them talks. That's all, y'all know what that is. After the All-Star game or the break, they gonna be back on there. Seeing that was crazy. When I looked at that, I said, they start getting used to it. I know what they're doing, but I'm just saying,

I don't know what direction that they're going in. It's probably, what the fuck are they about to do? Who want them young guys? They're about to trade out a few, get some kicks. They're at the bottom of the barrel. Worst team in the league. We're trying to stay there. Yeah.

Are you real Hoopers? What the fuck now? Yeah, we'll come out here and try to play basketball for real. Damn, Cooper gonna be sick. He go to Washington. Nah, boy, they the fuck down. He'll come out here and try to play basketball for real. Cooper gonna be sick, he go to Washington. Ah, nah, boy, they gonna step in. They're not sending Cooper flags to the Wizards. He on his way.

They are not. You want them to go to Portland, Wizards, or Utah? Portland. They probably want to go to Utah. They probably want to go to Utah, but I can imagine them probably want him in the Eastern Conference as well. Cooper and DC, that's a nice market.

That's all set for the NBA to have a young star in a city like that, yeah. I just don't know if he can have that John Wall effect. No, he won't have that. But to be surprising, this is not a racial thing. It's a lot of white people that go to the DC games. Cause I remember when I was in Atlanta, I mean it's a lot of black people to go to,

but it's more surprising to see how many white people go to the DC game. Oh yeah. Especially where it's at, I can imagine that being a great market for them, cause they damn sure don't want him with the mellow ball. I would love for Cooper to fight, to be a Charlotte Hornet.

No, no, no, no, no. That would be amazing. No, no, no. We know Lee will be in the uproar. Him? No, no, no. And beat me up? No, no, no, no.

Let's go. No, no, no, no. That's a fire three. That is a fire, but no, no. That's a fire three, bro. That market ain't for Cooper. That's a fire three. That is a fire, but no. That's a fire three, bro. That market ain't for Coop. That's a fire three, DJ. Turned up.

I ain't mad at that at all, bro. Send Coop to Charlotte. Cause we horrible. He pulling up with a hair bone and a Hellcat. It's up. New Balance get it, step in. Cause that'd be, that'd be, um, shit. What, three or four lottery picks?

That's the problem. We got nothing but lottery picks, and it ain't lottery. You're on Boston shit. It turn up. Say that as you come up, trust the process. For real. Hey, I'd rather him do that,

at least he can go play something like good boy, he got some wizards. Boy, God damn. It's gonna be a lot on his shoulders, bro, is what I'm saying. I wouldn't be mad to see Charlotte like that. They might get some TV games, they excited, but damn, Lamelo could just stay healthy, bro. He's so cold, he just always hurt. I wouldn't be mad to see Charlotte like that. They might get some TV games. They excited, but him and Lamello

could just stay healthy, bro. He's so cold. He just always hurt. Yeah, man. Give Will a sum of Lamello for sure. He beat the Pell because he'll stay 119 to 108. Your favorite white boy had 32 and four. Fam had 23, nine and 10.

That's nothing for us. That's like. T-Murph had 35 and two. Is he here all the time? It's his team. Jimmy, Jimmy, he played, but you know, Jimmy chilling. Jimmy ain't trying to get hurt. He trying to get traded.

It's Tyler Hero's team. Jimmy be clowning. And at press conference, what are you asking me if I want to be here or not? I mean, what do you mean by that? He be clowning, bro. With purple hair. I love it.

I said, damn, just tell him you won't go to Phoenix, bro. Yeah, bro. Then he went to the P. Hey, he's hilarious, cause he's like, hey y'all, I'll do what the fuck I want to, cause y'all know what happens in the playoffs. Yeah. But right now it's Tyler Hero's team.

He's playing at an all time high. Confidence is through the roof. He got a fade. He just locked in right now. And he ain't doing too much talking or nothing. He's just playing and he killing. A little shove doesn't do nothing to my boy Confident. He locked in.

That judo toss, that was wicked. What do you think they need? I mean, if you move on from Jimmy, do you ready to go get a point guard? I mean, you can. What do you think the team need? I like T-Roy. I like Tyler Hero with the ball in his hand.

He playing well like that. I don't think they need a point guard right now, but if they do, they can go get De'Aaron Fox. So they can go get an explosive guard. Hey, De'Aaron Fox on that team, that's scary. Telling you bro. That's scary to have T-Roy, Ducker Robinson, and Bam.

People see now what he's doing in set. And Demar, you know, that's our guy. You know what I mean? Subbonus is good, but him with Bam, bro, the young corp like that, they gonna be scary, bro. And the way that he organization is ran, the way they play basketball, having all those valuable players just found out nowhere.

They don't have nobody to push the ball like De'Aaron Fox, bro. Like they don't have no, they trying to go up and down. Yeah. Bam trying to go up and down. Bam is not no half-court nigga, bro. Yeah, he probably better than him. So he not really that good. Yeah he is.

And you can always keep T. You know what I'm saying T. Rose is a great six man out the best. He's always great. So it all fits. And he a great vet. But you gonna have to trade him if you trying to get DR probably.

He's in that trade. Get Duncan Robinson out of here. I've been playing some good basketball for him. I'll go and say to put him in that lineup. That's the problem. Duffer Robinson getting in the playoffs and start remembering he was cold again. I need to get D.R. out of here.

Now you know something about Dugher Robson. No, I like him, but that's why he's a good trade bait. He gonna do that on the next nigga team. Yeah. You feel how I feel about Buddy Hill. And I love Alec Berks, though. Alec Berks is a quiet killer. Hey, constantly professional, but killer for a long time, too.

I really like his game. He murdered last postseason too. But bro can get up out of Miami too. Cause you a good fan. He's family chillin' bro, look at him. But you a good locker room. Shout out to Al, bro. Ain't no disrespect to Aliburk Ho.

I'm not sure that the Sacramento Kings are demanding him in that trade. You call Aliburk silly. I'm sleep. You sleep? Get him out of here, and who is this Nicola dude? Oh, Nicola Yocas? He ain't gonna is this? Nicola dude. Nicola Yocas. He ain't going nowhere.

That's the fake Yocas. Nah, nah. He's an organization. Him and Jamie Jockers ain't going nowhere, brother. He's gonna be there, brother. Get him out of here. You crazy. Josh Christopher, you for sure is out of here.

Josh Christopher, you go somewhere else. Allegation. Matter of fact, send my young Josh Christopher, send him to Charlotte. No. Send him to Charlotte. No, no, no. You weren't him out the league.

Young athletic guard. He just got back in the league, you trying to send him out the league. Young athletic guard, bro. Go where you tolerated, bro. Man, y'all crazy. You're crazy, man. The Raptors beat the Nets yesterday,

130 to 113. Snappin' 11 game losing streak, which is crazy. Scottie Barnes had 33 at 13. They are trash. Yeah, made losing streak, which is crazy. Scotty Barrs had 33 and 13. Yeah, made it quickly 21 and 15. Cam Johnson had 24 and then D-Lo's debut, 22 and eight. Told y'all D-Lo, he gonna average 20 when he on that Nets team. But welcome back, Quick.

I know he had been injured most of the year, but having a big game last night. One of my favorite young players, I think he cold. Got that payday up there. Hopefully he can stay healthy the rest of the season. God damn this, man. You ain't supposed to lose to the Raptors, bro. It's crazy.

Scottie Barnes. She had a lot of smut about him. Man, mind your business, bro. I don't hate on nobody getting that bag. I just. Nah, people was criticizing him though for like asking if he earned it or not. I think the funny thing about that is that people be like,

is he a Max player? Well, depending upon what the team is. If we ain't paying nobody on this team, then yes, I am the Max player. Yeah, in Toronto. Give me the ball. And don't nobody, I'm not If we ain't paying nobody on this team, then yes, I am the max player. Yeah, in Toronto. Yeah. Give me the ball.

The Rockets beat the Maps yesterday, one, 10, the 99. They said we gotta pronounce Sagan's name right. It's Sagan, Sagan is what they told us. So we had his name fucked up. You said the Sagan? Yeah. Sagan! So the N is silent.

There's so many jokes there, but I'll say that for the podcast. He had 23, six, and four. J. Lee Green had 22, and five. They spelled his name wrong on the birth certificate. They spelled his name wrong, it's crazy, for sure. I swear to God, when I used to hear that sound when I woke up, my big brother be on the game,

I used to be hype as fuck. I didn't know Sonic movies fire too. Yeah, Sega Genesis Elite. I woke up to a different sale. So I had to be ET Uncut. That's why I get up early now. I'm talking about a set of deals, bro. You know what I'm saying?

I thought you heard it. I was about to say, damn. I was about to ask what song, but I know the support. I was about to say, I thought you were about to say, so I'm done with this, bro. You know what I'm saying? I thought you heard it. I was about to say, damn. I was about to ask for a song, but I know this is a water show. I was about to say, bro, could I go to the bathroom? No, I didn't live in the same room as my brother. I have my own room.

I did. Fuck you. No shade. I'm just kidding. No shade is crazy. Every time I'm in the same room, no shade. Y'all are crazy, man.

Pacers and Heat tonight, who y'all got? Yeah, Heat. No, that's crazy. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just saying. No shade is crazy. Every time I'm putting sets on rate, no shade. Y'all crazy, man. Pacers and Heat tonight, who y'all got? Yeah, Heat. No, that's crazy. Tyler Hero been playing great. I'm gonna take the Heat just cause.

We on a wind street. Tyler Hero should have been a Pacer too. We'll talk about that from another podcast. What? Yeah. Celtics and T-Wolves. I got Tyrese instead. No, I was listening.

I would have, nevermind. Celtics and T-Wolves, Celtics. Yeah, should be a good game though. At T-Wolves. Uh, woo. I'll take the T-Wolves tonight. Take the T-Wolves, I ain't mad at it. Nets at Bucks.

Bucks. I'm gonna take the Bucks. Bucks as well. Clippers at Thunder. I'm gonna take the Thunder. I ain't going against the Thunder right now. Thunder roll, Thunder roll. 76ers at Warriors.

On a back to back, I'ma take the Warriors. Yeah. Yeah, this is. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to my dog Dre. Yeah, we're taking the Warriors. Blazers at Lakers. I'ma take the Lakers.

Yeah, unfortunately. I hope so, man. Thank you. You gotta get picked in the Lakers, that's funny. All right, a couple of college football playoff games. We gotta get in tune for y'all. Texas took care of Arizona State at double OTS today. 39 31 game was crazy. I thought it was going to be a belt to add situation,

but the Longhorns wanted to smoke that game. Regardless, they still came through with it. It's funny that we brought this up. We have a whole great podcast dropping today, but getting MVP of a game that you lost. Did that resonate with you? They said it very well. That's crazy. We talked about it on the podcast, but I'll say it again.

Played in the Anaheim Classic. Mike looked it up. I won MVP, but they gave the award to James Harden that day. He ended up getting like 40, almost 50 points against St. Mary's when they had Patty Mills. And somehow he got the MVP that night. But on the fucking website, it said Jeff Teague won MVP, but I ain't get my award. So people who run Anaheim Classic send me my shit.

So people who run Anaheim Classic send me my shit. So people who run Anaheim Classic send me my shit. Man, Shawty Kemp's got up over a good AV, Man, Shawty Kemp's got up over a good AV, you killin' when you get AVP and you lost, man. 143 worst yards, two TDs, 99 receiving yards, 42 passing yards, and a TD again, man, he went crazy. Texas, man.

Texas sold the game really. Shout out to the kicker. I know you somewhere. Praise and God. Praise and God for sure. Missed two field goals. Missed two field goals, but Arizona State should have won the game.

Cause they had Texas what, 4th and 13th. And overtime. And brought the noise for no reason. Brought the noise. Actually it was a bluff though. Cause they didn't even send them. You know what I mean? Like you gonna, whatever.

I'm not a football guy so I ain't gonna say it, but 4th and 13th, they didn't bring the house. They faked it. And the safety let them get behind them. Touchdown, we going overtime. Texas is the better team. So you know, they already was struggling to score. Yeah.

Arizona State, it was a struggle for them to get points to them. A lot of stuff had to go right for them. A lot of calls, a lot of things. But what did happen though, I feel like I cheated a little bit, is that head on collision when that guy caught that pass. Yeah, that was crazy.

Yeah, helmet to helmet. I was like, damn, that might have to be a call right there and they didn't call it. Yeah, call of targeted. But you know the rest of the guy killed if we're calling it, that's the situation too. Even though you made, it was right. Yeah, calling targeted. But you know the refs would've got killed if we're calling it a situation too. Even though you made, but it was right. They would've gotten murdered if we called that.

They would've gotten murdered. So I respect what the refs did, but I honestly thought it was a hematoma contact. I was like, shit, that should be targeted. Yeah, targeted. Might've changed that game for sure. Ohio State built an ass situation yesterday. Score is way closer than what it was.

41-21, but they handled the shit out of Oregon, man. I told y'all, Ohio State gonna win a chip. Y'all should have bet on it. Put it on draft piece. Only teams I like, Ohio State and the 49ers when it come to football. Aw, dang. Give it up for the 49ers.

Shout out to Gerald Osnay. He called. Aye, one of the best pro prospects that I've received in a very long time. He should be able to leave after his freshman year. That's crazy, that's how good he is. Come on, seven catches, 187, two TDs. Ain't no what's crazy for Oregon's situation too.

Like I kinda, I don't feel bad for them, but I feel bad for them. Like you never gonna go undefeated. You gotta play these guys. Again, that's the crazy part. You gotta spin a block against this team, which is arguably the best team in college football. That's never not fair, bro.

Like if I beat them, I shouldn't have to see them. But it is what it is. It's not a lie. What you gotta do, three years in college? Yeah. It's crazy that like Marvin Harrison Jr. Lee at Wodown, he's a top five pick. We think he was the best Wodown football last year

and you get this freshman and it's like, you don't miss a beat. Oh. Smart move, baby. Yeah, he's that good though. Yeah, he's elite bro. He's one of the most talented prospects we've seen in a very long time. He looks so much bigger than they DBs yesterday.

I don't know how tall the Oregon DBs are. They look like little kids though. I always feel bad for Oregon because they always get into college playoff. You know what I'm saying? They be having the cold ass jerseys and shit. Oh, you was fresh as fuck. Oh, they be having that shit on.

Oh, they fresh as. I'll go to Oregon if I play football though. I'll be, if I played basketball, I would have thought about Oregon too. I don't know if they'd be that fresh, but. No, no, they shit, they shit all right too. I mean, I don't know. But the football shit is different for sure.

Yeah, they should be crazy. They had like 100,000 uniforms. But show man, obviously due to the tragedy that took place on New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the game for Notre Dame of Georgia got pushed to today. Who y'all got? Y'all take Georgia. I got the dogs, y'all know?

I don't, yeah. I don't rock with Notre Dame. I think it'd be a decent game though. Even though my little brother Mark going to Notre Dame, Lou, one of my best friends, he from South Bend, that's how he talked about Notre Dame. So I just gotta go against him at any time. I think the game would be close.

I think the money is spread on that. I mean, the money line on that price, 17, think it'll be within that. If you wanna win some money tonight, put your money on Georgia. If you gonna win some money that I ain't gonna lie, you should put your money on Notre Dame. Oh.

But I want Georgia to win. You wanna pick? I think Notre Dame gonna win, but I want Georgia to win. If Rudy ain't subbin' in tonight, he's gon' get wicked. I gotta look at the eyes of that though. That money line. Check out DraftK Ken, you know what I'm sayin'? What are your bets there for sure? Verify buckets, be him.

Who start off the year off right? Oh, I'm just, I'ma still keep giving it to my youngin'. Ian Jackson. Okay. From North Carolina. Three consecutive games with 20 plus. So you know what I mean? He's stepping into the new year on Demon Time.

For sure. He trying to get out of there. I see you, Ian. Yeah. He said he was gonna do the new year on Demon Time. For sure. He trying to get out of there. I see you, Ian. He said he was going to do it. Go crazy, King. Finally got a shot to, you know what I mean, start. Coach let him rock, so shout out to Ian. For sure, man.

It is crazy, like, you know, with some of these kids we see as the highly talented, they come to these programs, we expected them to start. Took him a little bit of time to get to it, but I think that's probably for the better, because Ian, he ain't going to get that job up, bro. He going to keep killing for sure. He might be in one of those, we'll see. I'm going to go show some love to get to it, but I think that's probably for the better, because he ain't going to get that job up, bro. He's going to keep killing for sure. He might be a winner, though. We'll see.

I'm going to go show some love to Scotty Barnes, bro. 33 and 13 and five, man. Listen, they put some money on there to get a max deal. That's max deal numbers to me, bro. Man, my verified bucket. I'm going to go to Pat Kelsey. OK. Hell of a recruiting pitch. Hell of a recruiting job. You got my young boy, Mikel Brown, going to Louisville. Shout out to Mikel Brown going to Louisville.

Shout out to Mikel making that decision. Hike for you young man. I know you got that bag. Yes sir. But shout out to Pat Kelsey, man. My old coach at Wake Forest, man. Able to get a top five recruit. I feel like one of the top point guards in that class.

It helped change Louisville around. You know what I mean? We're blessed. If we have it for two years, then God is good. But he is that good. We got those jokers in there too, man. We on the road to being the number one all time leader in triple dubs, man.

Respect. Come on, bro, 31. Crazy line. Come on, man. Also, Cat, 31, 21, bro. Like, it gets to the point to where we're normalizing these, Cat is killing it this year. He's having a stroke this year.

God show some love for sure. Be him who needs some good love, man. The last, in the week, y'all, they need some encouragement to go through the rest of the weekend, get well soon. Probably them filthy ass Raptor Bulls. Lose about 54 to the Celtics a couple days ago. That was tragic. The Celtics could have beat them

if they didn't even score in the first half. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, we didn't get chance to speak on that. We don't even got to come out the locker room in the first half. Yeah, I think that's the wildest. I didn't know that part. That's crazy. Like even got to come out the locker room and the first half we didn't still beat you. I think that's the wildest, I didn't know that part. That's crazy.

Like, for me not to have to score in the first half and still beat you and we in the NBA together, you're out of pocket. We in the NBA together makes it funny. Cause that don't just work here, you work here too. Yeah, you know, cause you know sometimes the NBA players y'all go play over in Europe and play one of them little

teams like nah bro, we in this together bro. You didn't have to score it all in the first half and could've win this. So that's crazy. For sure, who you got T? Shit, Homme Hockey, bro. Yeah. You got punched on.

Shout out to my boy Herb Jones. That nigga name ain't Jamie. Nah, Homme. That boy from, Homme. Homme got punched on. Yeah. Can't that boy know how to say them Spanish names? Fuck him.

Hey, what's the left hand? I ain't gonna lie, the New Orleans Pelicans broadcast team, Antonio Daniels. They be geeked up. They be geeked. I can listen, the Pelicans so damn sad this year. So I can't really watch much games,

but when they were good and they was rolling, I loved listening to them. Yeah, Antonio, that was really good at color pipe, I'll play for sure. Yeah, he be super were good and they was rolling, I loved listening to them. I told you that was really good at color play by play for sure. He'd be super animated. He'd talk a lot, but it'd be good content though. I ain't gonna lie. They'd be like Virgil.

It's them and the Hornets. Hornets broadcast me wild. I'm diddly-dee. They'd be crashing out for sure. I'd be like they wilding. I'm diddly-doo. So imagine if we got Cooper Flagg, LaMelo with that, that's they gonna have to put them on TV, bro.

Yeah, Steph Pompapy over there wildin' too. Now, Dale Kirby gets some wild shit off on the low. Who get more wild shit? They're wild, that's all. Nope. That's a wild lineage, bro. Hey, dog, we crank it up. He was like, I'll be riding to the game with Seth

when he play home game. Bro, get your way to work, Jack. I know we work at the same place, I'm not riding home game. Nah, they get my son to look at, that niggas better drive me around, fuck y'all. He said he can't pick me up. Take y'all to Autumn Weekend, say hey you guys,

You know what's crazy? You know how strong he is. A lot of these highlights on Walker Kessler, all due to like, Laurie Marklin not playing defense. He be doing some bullshit and getting him set up. That's crazy. Damn bro, I gotta help you every time we get on the highlight. Fuck it. Yeah, man. Damn bro, I gotta help you every time we get on the hot light.

Continue to keep thriving, bro. You killing it. I was definitely worried about his mental. Them Knicks fans is something else.

Yeah, but he embracing it and killing it. Yeah, what he doing this year, they bought him some time for show for slack. Get my nigga a penalty, man. Come on, Melo. He having a better season than Melo, when Melo came? The first year, possibly. Possibly. But Melo, Melo first year? Possibly. Possibly.
