Episode Date: December 5, 2024

On the Thursday, December 5 episode of 520 in the Morning, Jeff Teague, DJ Wells, and B Hen react to LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Los Angeles Lakers losing by 41 to the Miami Heat. Anthony Davis scored only 8 points, and the Lakers look hopeless over the last two weeks. Falling to 12-10 on the season, the Lakers need to get back on track before falling out of the play-in game in the western conference. The guys then react to the Atlanta Hawks beating Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. The Hawks have been red hot as of late, do you think they can push for a playoff spot in the eastern conference? #Volume #ClubSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brought to you by Hypnotic. The Volume. Good morning, happy Thursday. It's your favorite sports show, 5.20 in the morning. Here to keep you updated, everything in the sports world related, especially basketball. I'm the host, my name is DJ Will.

Joining us this morning about my tool steam co-host. To my left, I got my brother, Bishop Hendricks. To my right, my brother Tee. Fellas, good morning, how y'all doing? What's up, Brody? What's up, how y'all doing, man? I know, listen, man, we was grinding last night. We got a great episode dropping today at 12 p.m. Eastern Club, 520.

We was in the lab late last night. My boy Tee got the breakfast here, man. I wanna ask y'all, I'm 50 tights. Oh, that's a hella boy to start your day. Listen, man, we always, you know what I'm saying, using that door to ask you to get us some breakfast. What's the best breakfast you can start your day off with? I focus on Chick-fil-A, but I usually,

I'm on the fast food tip. It's a sausage, egg, and muffin with a hash brown inside the sandwich. Oh, is that custom? I don't eat pork, so. I used to love to, when I was young, before I stopped eating pork, I used to like the sausage croissant from Burger King.

That's a slapper. Yeah, all you gotta say back in the day is that that bacon and egg McGriddle used to do numbers for me. When the McGriddle first came out, that was gun smoke for sure. But listen, man. I thought a McGriddle had the syrup in it, right?

Yeah, the little mini pancakes. The freaky sandwich. What's the place I be getting the chicken and waffles from? Oscars. Nah, internet. Chicken scratch? Nah, nah, nah. Yeah, chicken scratch.

I like they joints. Chopped a six and stretch, I need you to know what I'm saying. Sponsor some burgers right here. 520 Door Dash is paid for more than enough. But listen, man, some crazy basketball ass, not a lot of built to ass situations. We gonna start with first things first. LeBron got smacked yesterday.

They got 40 ball yesterday in Miami. Don't say, well I know we had some opinions about who was gonna win that game, but damn we didn't expect this at all. I told y'all man, this nigga sad. I told y'all it was Miami, that boys went out. You said Bron had the party. I mean he still had 30, but it didn't matter.

Yeah, I mean, you know Bron just trying to get his stats for the show now. Oh damn, but it didn't matter. Yeah, I mean, you know, Bron just trying to get his stats for the show now. Oh damn, your favorite white boy, man. Mr. Consistency down in Miami. 31 and five, Tyler Hero. Seven threes, you know what I mean? Third quarter, big day for my guy Tyler Hero. We looking like we trying to make the All-Star team

on the low. It's dead. It's low. It's very. You know what I mean? Might get there. He on the max deal though, so who cares? He don't care, but I'm saying I think, you know,

if it's a random that they throw in the All-Star, man, give it to my favorite white boy, man, for sure. I mean, we'll talk about it later in the show, but if it comes down to Tyler Hero and Jalen Johnson. Oh, Jalen Johnson. Okay, okay. No, no. For sure, now listen, man, the Lakers,

obviously they got some things they need to address. Let's start here. Who can we blame right now? I know we like to play the blame game. It ain't always right. Players. The players right now? See you might have a different opinion.

Yeah, probably the players. I mean, y'all play. Coaching, honestly, coaches can only do so much. You can try to put people in the best position. You can try to sub, think who's gonna give you a spark or whatever, but you can only do so much. The players try to put people in the best position. You can try to sub, think who's going to give you a spark or whatever, but you can only do so much. The players got to play the game.

Like I can put you in a formation and run a play, but you got to be smart enough and have a high enough IQ where I could make adjustments on the fly in that play. So coaches can only do so much. They can only put you in position. They can't play for you. For sure. Man, listen, I only brought that up because you know, the coaches situation, you look at last year, I know D-Ham got a lot of flack,

but them numbers is looking the same. The math looks starting to math. And you know, I'll be giving JJ some grace because he's a first year head coach. And we know that ain't the prettiest situation to walk into, but hey, you're talking all that talk. Look what they look like right now, man. LeBron's the greatest player of all time to me.

Him and Jordan, however you want to do it, go back and forth. I ain't getting into that, I don't care. But nobody's gonna be able to coach the Lakers till he leaves. Let's be honest, like, you gotta, he's such a polarizing person and player that you gotta adjust for him.

You gotta do whatever your philosophy it has to surround Brian. And y'all might have different philosophies. And that's okay, but while Brian's there, you're gonna do it Brian way. And JJ Reddick might have a different philosophy from Brian. So he's not gonna really be able to show what he can do as a coach until Brian is gone.

That's interesting. But he wouldn't be the coach without Brian. I'll be getting ready to say, that's the crazy part about it, is he probably wouldn't have a job without Bron's blessings. Right. Right. Now you look at that team, you say,

I see J.J. was talking about, all right, well, I'ma go through the players. Like, we feel a little disconnected right now. I'ma go through and see what's up with everybody. I think the player in him, that's a smart idea to say, all right, I'm not blaming nobody. Let me go tap in with everybody, check the temperature and see how to adjust from there.

I thought that was dope to hear from, like adapt to that situation. But also at the same time, listen man, expectations, expectations. Well, it was Frank Bogle, Darvin Ham, you play, I mean, you coach for the Lakers, bro, they don't care. You better get some results in. I think he just understands players better

than Frank and Darvin Ham though. LeBron just trusts him more. So I don't think he'll get the same criticism. Fuck him being white or whatever. I just don't think he'll get that same criticism. Fuck him being white or whatever. I just don't think he'll get that same criticism with Darvin. It's literally clips of Darvin him saying, all right guys, get in there and kill them niggas.

Fuck it. Like, come on bro. Hit the clipboard, be upside down. I think D.H. was like, knowing D.H. he a cool dude, but I think he probably was trying to be their friend and be cool with them. You know, cause I know him, so he gone, what's up boy? I mean, he was a player too.

But I think J.J., he got that Duke shit in him. Like, he can do both, but he more of an asshole than he is cool. Coach K's shit bro. Yeah, the lineage. Yeah. And listen man, AD started this season, we were talking about MVP, DP, OY conversations.

We got to walk those back right now? I'm not doing it bro. You still locked in for AD? This is why I just, I fuck with NBA players, like I don't care about who win or lose, but bro you in the NBA bro, you bound to have some bad games. You human at the end of the day.

All it's gonna take for him is to have another streak and we gon' get all about that. I don't wanna strip him from that MVP and defensive player of the year because you still like, this ain't like a Jeremy Lin, no disrespect to Jeremy Lin, but AD is a for real proven player in the NBA. So I don't wanna put too much on him.

It was interesting to see some of the discourse around it, it was just like, you know, the start of the season off, AD was killing and they were just like, those numbers, that's what Jokic and Yannis do on a consistent basis. Facts. That's all facts. But we was just happy to see him playing.

Happy to see him thrive, man. Especially like after last year playing most of the season and not being injury prone as he had a history of, definitely want to see Anthony Davis be the player. And they criticize him for being soft. So to see him come out with that killer instinct, bro, I think he still got it in him. He aight.

And to your point, like, there were people were saying that they, those are Yannis and Yokes numbers all the time, but shit, they went MVP. So if he played at an MVP level, we're happy. He's playing like at their level, MVP level. That's the trade off, the perception in those conversations always be like, wait, it just to prove your point playing like at their level, MVP level. That's the trade off, out of the perception

and all this conversation is always be like, wait, just to prove your point rather than just looking at reality. Yeah, he's getting yogichin' on numbers now. Well, they win MVP. What the hell? That's a crash of hard people to prepare me to. Yeah, but like-

The best niggas in the world, bro. Yeah, like I'm doing great there, right? They win the MVPs, they go back and forth with the MVP's. What was his number like? 26, you gotta put it up again. But it was like 26, 27 and 13. Bro, I'm having a hell of a season. I'm killing.

Sorry, 27 and 11 and three. Yeah, I'm having a great season. No, I'm killing. Yeah, you're having a wonderful season. I'm fucking hooping, bro. So let me have a couple, you know what I mean, down games, bro. I'm human, bro.

I ain't fucking up the churches. Nah, bro. And we lost by 41. You can't blame it blame that on me. Yeah, that's crazy. I think that's out of pocket though. 40 balls crazy. To be in the NBA and lose by that much. That is kind of crazy though. That's a lot of points to lose.

40. We're competitors, bro. I mean, T, they ain't even hit your rule. Like you said, you don't score a hundred. You cheeks. You cheeks. That's crazy. Get well soon, man.

Get well soon to the Lakers. Listen, you had a tough time yesterday, man. You had to pick's crazy. Get well soon, man. Get well soon to the Lakers. Listen, you had a tough time yesterday, man. You had to pick between your bucks and your hawks. I told you what I was gonna do. Dang, man. I told y'all the hawks is on a pacer run right now. Just say on a run, don't put us in that.

I'm saying they ain't having a last year pacer moment. Barbie! I didn't know I was gonna need a drink this morning. Right on time, BN. Yeah, I had it just for you, King. I appreciate it, man. We're going through a lot right now. Listen, man.

Jeff still gotta give his spill. It's Thursday, but it's our Friday. Shout out to Barbie working the AM shift. What we got? I'm scared of that. I'm just a little lit to see who got the shot at it. Excuse me? Man, we have a show.

I ain't touching that shit. It's not. Behead Rufi himself. Barbie, I see you. We better stop fucking with you. Hey. I can't take a break. Y'all got Barbie working in the morning too.

360 deals all around this place. What is this, a black shirt? Yeah. Okay. Oh, this wasn't at all this, you went crazy. But you need to stop playing with the crew. I be a new, I be a new crew? All right.

I ain't doing this with y'all this morning. Hey, appreciate you Barbie, bro. Thank you, Barbie. Shout out to the Pimosis with the T right here at Lisbon. Hawks are carrying the books just today 119-104. Jalen Johnson looking like an all-star, 23 at 13. Trey Young 17-7. Yannis will do what he does, 32-11.

But like you said, man, your Hawks is on the run for real for real right now. They looking good. They playing at a high level right now. I mean, they on that, like I said, that pace of a run, not even trying to be funny. They just catching a good stride at the right time. And Jaylen Johnson is leading the pack.

Trey Young's playing good. He's not shooting the ball well at all in this run. But Jaylen Johnson is playing at an all-star level. Hopefully, man, we get to that fourth, fifth seed. He can make the all-star team. Now for sure, if they're not playing, but if they are an all-way playoff team, you gotta look to get him that consideration.

He's playing great. But how you think Trae Young, I mean obviously we know he's a good teammate, but how you think he'll feel if he gets snubbed so many years off start when he's had crazier numbers and then they have a season like they have this year and Jalen Johnson get it? I mean it's just position.

Like I mean Trae Young is still having a phenomenal year, 20 and 12. Elite. Is that 20 and 12 or 26? Yeah, 20 and 12. 20 and 12 is still elite numbers, but Jalen Johnson, man, he been carrying that team when Trae was out.

He just been having a great year. It's like, you can't hate. Like, straight up, straight up. And as a point guard, it's just been other guards playing better in the East right now. For sure. Jalen, what you gonna take, Jalen Brunson out?

No. They ain't trying to take a name out. No. I'll take Lamelo out either right now. Lam sure. But you gonna take Jalen Brunson out? No. They gonna take Dame Lillard? No. I'll take Lamello out. Lamello? No. So it's just a little tight squeeze for him or at the point guard position.

I guess you would say, of course. For sure man, listen man, you talked about it a little bit last year, but it's all evident this year. Quinn and Snyder got their team turned around, looking a little bit different, man. They playing different. They playing good.

You can see that they jelling. I think getting De'Jonte out of there, and I like De'Jonte Murray, so it's no slight on him, but having just a point guard, now he got wings to work with instead of two point guards trying to figure out how to balance playing them together and playing them opposite of each other. I think it's just an easier team to coach for him.

For sure, that make a lot of sense. Like you said, it take away a lot of, not to say there was tension, but when you got two players of that caliber, it's always gonna be a little bit of friction, so it's probably easier job coaching right now too. Yeah, I mean somebody want the ball,

you're trying to get the ball on both the hands. It's just a lot of decision-making that's had to be made. Now, he know his team. Quinn is a good coach though. Quinn did all right in Utah with Cheryl and them too. Yeah, great coach. Ah, did great with them for sure. Yeah.

Listen, y'all know this man, 32, 11, and six, is that MVP type numbers here? Always. Yeah, that shit like easy. As much as I hate on Yannis, cause I don't think you can teach how he hoop to a kid, but he kill bro. It's undeniable bro.

It's undeniable. He make a way out of no way for sure. I fuck with Yannis cause he play hard. And it just, it comes out to crazy numbers, bro. His skill set is probably one of the worst. But as hard as- All right, James Harden. No, I'm saying though, as hard as he plays,

James was right, bro. You can't stop him though. Like niggas ain't hating, bro. But bro, you don't wanna, come on, bro. If you building a nigga on 2K, bro, your jump shot is Yannis, you dick ride. I don't care what you say. Yannis builds on 2K elite though.

I know he probably a killer, but you know you make your jumper bro. If you make your shit Yannis bro. But hey Quiet is kept, he's shooting one of the highest percentages from the mid range this year. You talked about that, you're saying he's sneaking in there in the mid range.

He making shots bro, he might not be shooting a three like that, but it's mid-range this year. You talked about that, you were gonna say he's sneaking in there in the mid-range. He making shots, bro. He might not be shooting a three like that, but it's mid-range. He ain't figured it out. Hey, he done had a new piece to his game. That's just even scarier, bro. Yeah. Ronnie, please let us know.

Is there a TA build on 2K? Oh, Lord. I ain't never seen that pop up. We need a the Gnossos build on 2K. Please let me know if there's one up. You know what Ronnie need to do? We talk about 2K so much. You need to just Gnostic build on 2K. Please let me know if there's one out there for sure. You know what Ronnie need to do? We talk about 2K so much. You need to just put us,

where players come and talk to us on the podcast. Come on. For sure. You know what I mean? We'd be the 520, they come sit down with us. I'm sure they probably gonna have podcast P on there. Somehow, cause he was on 2K. We get thrown on 2K, that'd be nuts. Yeah, people come sit down at 520

and chop it up with us, that'd be lit. Mike, you might've sent that email out to Ron. I like that idea. We're gonna be in the park where you're in the wreck. I mean, they got a, you know, on the story board. Turn us up. They come talk to us. It'd be hard if you could just pull up to the 520 podcast

and your creative player go talk to us. So it's 2K, like, uh. Grand Theft Auto, yeah. Do they got the strip club and stuff on 2K? No, they don't got that on 2K. 520 podcast and your creative player go talk to so it's 2k like Yeah That's what's on the front of Grand Theft Auto? Or? Oh, M. Oh, M. Mature, mature. Mature, Mature, Herschmeck. You know what's crazy?

Imagine spending all your VC in the street with a little 2K. Your little kids would be messing their mom a different card up. I just said, I'll be Chanel though. What's that Grand Theft Auto where your cards would just move when you got the prostitute? Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's when the cards

just move up and down. Until the game rappers got better and they got, yeah, yeah. That's when the cars just move up and down. Until the game rappers got better and they got more wicked. Whoa, that game was crazy. That's crazy, man. I mean, listen, where you going, sweet daddy? Is what they used to say. Get up, pick them up, the cars just move up and down.

While we're here, what's the best Grand Theft Auto? The last one. I don't know. I like, I ain't gonna lie, I like Vice City. I love Vice City too. I don't get the same address over Vice City. I love Vice City too. I don't get the same address over Vice City. I love Vice City, but I might be showing my age though. Whatever was on PS2, I don't know.

Vice City. You might have three. Three in there, Vice City for sure. But listen man, even though seven game win streak got snapped yesterday at Bucs, you think they figured it out? I think they good. They're gonna be all right, yeah they fine.

They good bro, I told you they gonna be a problem. When them playoffs roll around and everybody healthy, that's gonna be a problem for Boston. So we talk about this Chris Mills and we'll go through a couple people, you know what I'm saying, questionable about their return to the team. Chris Mills and expected to be back real soon man,

what's up? They gonna do it? If they get him back, that's gonna set them on a path to have that score that they looking for. It's just, I just gotta see how long it'll take them to get back in game shape. Okay.

And see how he's playing when he get back, you know, coming off of surgeries, you know, people be a little hesitant and stuff like that. So I'm excited to see him get back, but I wanna see how he's gonna play though. Who is he like on the Celtics? Like if you had to cancel somebody out, Chris Mills. Cancel each other out.

I mean, the playoffs Chris Middleton is just as good as Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown. He performs in the playoffs. Regular season, obviously those two guys are probably better. But in a seven game series, Chris Middleton can be the best player on the floor in any given game. And say what you want to about the Pacers, but I saw Chris Middleton then rebid us last year.

Yeah, yeah. Like if he didn't get hurt, bro, like even when he was hurt, I saw what he did. He's capable. And remember when, you know, obviously he was there in the triple runs. A lot of fourth quarters for Chris Milton was whole shit down. When we played Brooklyn, it was Chris Milton.

When we played Phoenix, it was Chris Milton. Besides that 50 point game, Yannis had Chris carry this. Mm, okay. Yeah, that's a dangerous person. I don't want to see in the post season. Yeah, that's right. Either way, Zion, expect to be revived in a couple weeks,

man, with his injury history. They gonna came out and said they still wanna build around Zion. Do y'all believe that's capped, or y'all just think the Pelicans still holding on to the Zion dream? I better keep, he go anywhere, it's over. I just not, I like Zion.

I just don't ever think he's gonna be healthy. Damn. His body type don't say healthy, like no shade or nothing, but he's too heavy at that size and the way he play, it's not gonna happen. I love when people just simply go to situations and be like when players are bigger, they need to reconfirm, like just lose weight,

it's probably just not that simple. It ain't that simple. It ain't that simple, bro. He's an athletic player. He's not a shooter. He's a driver, athlete, and a way that much. And have knee injuries, leg injury, hamstring injury, and your game is based off athleticism.

Wear and tear. I don't see it, man. Trust me, I was an athletic player. That shit about to come to an end. You think he could play below the rim at all being? Do you think he could adapt his game? He's such an explosive player. I've never seen him play under the rim like that. Of course I've seen the nigga shoot a layup

in the mid range jumper. He got that in his arsenal, but for him to go strictly to that, I don't know if he'd be comfortable with that. I don't think he got that, because he can't shoot. Like to go strictly to that, I don't know if he'd be comfortable with that. I don't think he got that, because he can't shoot. Like to play below the rim, you gotta have a jumper. That's a fact.

And he, that ain't his. To put him solely as a pull-up, y'all damn near turn as I.N. Williamson into Sam Perkins. That's exactly who he would be if he learned how to shoot and not move. Big Smooth, number 14. But the thing is, Big Smooth.

But Smooth had a clip. Yeah, Big Smooth, six, 10. He's six, five. Damn. Zion like six, five. He damn near Barclay. I didn't know Zion was that little. Yeah, Zion ain't, they list him as six, eight.

But Zion's definitely not six, eight. No, he like six, six, six, six, six. Six, six, seven being gracious, bro. Ah, damn, he didn't know he was Barclay. No wonder why Barclay be on his top so much, trying to help him, you know what I mean? I still laugh at when he was the point guard for the Pelicans.

Stan was out of pocket, bro. Yeah, but I don't know. If he get in shape, he's back to that damn 24, 25. He kills when he out there. I can say when he on the court, he's an all-star for sure. But he gotta get well soon. For sure, KD gonna be out for maybe one or two weeks. Hey, I feel your sons,

can they hold it down without him again? Getting some holiday shopping done this weekend? Pick up some touchdowns. They're on sale at DraftKings Sportsbook, an official Sportsbook partner of the NFL.

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 Fridays, analysts 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. for me. I'm putting it up, three emoji red flags. They told me they're gonna fix Siri. I dreamed, I dreamed.

So if you wanna 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. That's about eight games. Sure, they'll probably lose all of them. Damn. I think if they got Brad and...

Brad got a kill, bro. Brad and Book, they'd be all right. We can't, while Katie's out, Brad can't average 16 points a game. You're gonna have to beat you and John Wall in Washington, like 25 a night apiece, you know? Random 40 point games. You can't have no 16 point night.

You can't be out. They played the sun, they played last night, didn't they? Yeah, so yeah, we'll go through the recap. I would, freaking mics on right now. For sure, I'll ask y'all a question. Obviously, you with the experience, you from a fan standpoint, when you have a star player that's injury prone,

do you feel a ways? Like, do you want to keep them because, you know, maybe it'd from a fan standpoint, when you have a star player that's injury prone, do you feel a ways? Like, do you want to keep them because, you know, maybe it'd be a fan favorite or do you at some point say, I have to move on to more reliable, durable players? Should depend on what the rest of my team looking like. I'm a hustler at the end of the day. So if I know he gonna keep. The fans in the ass.

Yeah, I'm a benish man. I told you, I don't give a fuck who win or lose. How we gonna keep this chicken rolling in? I'm a business man. I told you, I don't give a fuck who win or lose. How we gonna keep this chicken rolling in? I'm Jerry Jones. Uh oh, you can see the jams. I'm just trying to get the money, bro. If I'm on the real team, I'm just trying to get the money. Yeah, now it's okay to kill baby.

When I talk about Jerry Jones filling these seats, that can kill us how sad the fucking cowboys are. That's crazy. Now we care about tennis. I'm just saying. That's what I do, but if I'm a GM and my job required me to win, I'm probably start looking at a different direction

because I know my job is on the line eventually. So I'm going to start trying to figure out how can I get the best for an injury-prone player. Like, I got to get rid of him. And I was seeing something yesterday that was like, man, that New Orleans is basically, not the city to die, but like, they got the worst luck in the league.

Like every star player that goes to New Orleans, they have injury problems. AD was there, hurt. CP was there, hurt. Zion, hurt, cussed. Tyson Chandler too. Everybody that go to New Orleans, when they get there to get hurt, they leave.

They start having better careers and stuff. Eric Gordon, Hurt, leave, six man a year. Motherfucker fool, bro. What you think it is? Shit, my cousin's down there. We're here to kill you, not heal you. That gun boy got boys in DMP. That's for the show.

Shout out to the French Quarter, man. Everybody that go there to get hurt, man. It's crazy. We love New Orleans, man. Can't wait to the French Quarter, man. Everybody that go there get hurt, man. It's crazy. We love New Orleans, man. Can't wait to get a pot down there. Couple of other games, Mati was three wins straight, took care of the Clippers yesterday, 108 to 80, belt to ass.

Yeah, man, it's different. I told y'all. Jewish Renter came out high in the first quarter with 16. Yeah, give us time, man. Give us time. We winning to Ann scoring 16, bro. We okay. I think what Ann said in the media

kind of sparked their team a little bit. They probably had a good conversation on the plane or wherever they was at. And now they rolling though. Yeah, he talks to them real dusty, so. I'm sure that conversation was real interesting. Yeah, for sure. They ain't getting leaked out.

That's funny. Celtics took care of the Pistons yesterday, 130, 120. Not a bad game for y'all Pistons, boy. Damn, man, they close losses for sure, but man, JB was killing yesterday. Like I know we gonna talk about it later in the show, but he had one position where he dribbled through his legs six times in a row, hit a spin move, and hit a bucket, bro.

Like, he really be hooping for real. He do be hooping. He do. But poor Zing is just, come on, cheating. A light 26 to nine. Paying pretty sure the light dub and four. He's six man in a year for sure. See Detroit just don't have niggas that can score 26.

Tobias had 27 yesterday. No, I love that for Tobias, but. No, he get them averages. I'm just saying, the Celtics literally have eight to nine players that can score 20. It's wicked over there for, you know what I mean? Detroit, so for them to only lose by 10 to them, I fuck with it.

Hey, Coyote Cunningham was hoopy yesterday. Almost had to tripp it up 27-14 to nine, man. Coyote, man, come on the show. He might be your number one guy. He fuck with you. I'm just keeping it be, man. He rock with you. Niggas be hoopin', man.

You're cold, you definitely cold, but he always vouch for Coyote Cunningham. He fuck with you. I'm just keeping it big, man. He rock with you. Niggas be hooping, man. You definitely cold, but he always vouch for Cary Cunningham. Come on, bro. That's his lead number. That's 23, seven, and 10. That's his lead number. You know where he at? Yeah, his numbers are crazy. I ain't gonna lie.

Shout out to Cary Cunningham, and people was questioning him for a while. Being the number one pick, and you know, he had some up and down years, but this year, man, he's been good. Nah, he's proving himself. And like you said, though, I mean, even though the record ain't as great, they up and down years, but this year maybe. Nah, he proving himself. Like you said though, I mean, even though the record angle is great,

they look like a totally different team this year for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tobiah's 27, nothing afterwards. I love that for you, that's the kid cooking. No other attributes, just 27. The nigga ain't good. Love that. Keep going.

No matter, after that, they know your contract is for buckets only, you don't get paid for it. Sister Rebails, my boy. Respect. Magic took care of the sixers yesterday, 106 to 102. Ron's working on the kill streak still, man. All-star. 35 and seven.

All-star. That one sucks. 17 to six and one of the craziest outlets I've ever seen in my life. That behind the back recovery, he threw down a Franz. It was a slow step. That was tough. Young TikTok, Jerry McCain, 24 threw down the front, but the slow step, that was tough. You know, TikTok, Jerry McCain, 24 and seven,

And y'all actually like good, it ain't no bullshit. I wonder how that feels. I mean, obviously it's your brother, you're excited for him,

but to be like the older brother and watch your little brother be like the star of the team and you like, I know it's a great feeling, him like, damn, my little brother killin' like, but I wonder how that feels. I think just the hoover with your brother, pretty much, I know it's a great feeling him like, damn my little brother killing like, but like I wonder how that feels. I think just to who was your brother period would be dope at the NBA level.

Like JR Schmick got his brother signed to the next level. That's hard bro. That's a legend. That's hard. That's hard bro. I'll be hyped to watch Mook like kill in the league. Like that'll be hard. Like sitting on the bench, I'll be talking so much shit.

Nah, yeah, we weren't. We wouldn't have had his own spot in the A. He probably missed the game. He had to live with Big Bro. That'd be you and Jordan Clark's question. Nah, we would have gone worse. We would have gone worse than him. We was gonna go for him. We're two dudes together.

Man, look at that. Oh man. Lin-E is for sure. No, that's shit. What is it? I don't know why we put this on here, but the Pacers lost again yesterday. Oh, cause they're a part of the NBA.

That's why they're on here. Barely. That's why they're here. The score is closer than the game was. We got smacked yesterday. Tyrese had a great third quarter with TJ. Cam Johnson's still killing right now. Smooth 26 piece.

Y'all can't beat up. Boy, I got some names on this motherfucker. Charlamagne McGay. Angel Ali. He wasn't called Charlamagne McGahey. Angela Lee. He was called Charlamagne Gay so bad. Charlamagne Le Gay. Angela Lee. All right, nigga, say Charlamagne McGahey. Oh, I got some names in here, my girl.

DJ Envy. Charlamagne McGahey. Weppy got some of the best interviews of all time, man. Oh my God, he said, there's some names on this bull fucker boy. Man, listen man, my good will soon is going to Derrick White. Man, y'all know I'll rock with Kanye Cunningham. And yes, man, stay out of the pain

if that ain't what you do for a living, man. Nah, for sure. Yep. Sound about right. Boy, this nigga Mike. Thank God it starts at freaking Mike needs some days off. My boy is tired. Man.

That's not a story. Wait, split the trap. What the fuck? Damn, he dunked on him like a little kid. And he looked at him. Yeah. You deserve to look at him like that. It's okay.

I would've got a tech on that. What if you were Derrick White? Or you was K? Nah, K. I would've went crazy. Now he dunked on him like a little kid. After yesterday, if you was Derrick White? Or you was Kade? Kade, I would've went crazy. But he dunked on him like a little kid. After yesterday, if you was Derrick White, you pushing Kade right there?

Nah, I got you, don't worry about it. He said me. Me? I would've been like, fuck you looking at, ho ass nigga. Oh lord. That's what I would've said. Oh man, the compilation, man.

Straight up. Pure demon. Michelle, man. Listen, man, we got another good one yesterday. Brooke Lopez. Listen, man. We know you supposed to be down there, big dog. But that's Jalen Johnson.

Jalen Johnson points on him. That's Jalen Johnson, man. You know, big dog. But that's Jalen Johnson, man. That's Jalen Johnson, man. You know, man, my favorite Hulk, Jalen Johnson. The youngest in charge. That highlight was nasty. How old is Jalen Johnson, like 22? Yeah, and we talked about it a little bit. Like his whole situation, him going to Duke,

not being there long, they wrote him off, tried to say a lot of negative things about him. I mean, cause he took a really different path. Normal, look at this, straight through the middle, shot to freaking Mike, getting the audio, I mean the video back up. I said it way too soon cause it is gone. Hey, two hands.

Bro, he's so athletic, bro. But like we, everybody kind of wrote him off cause his shot was a little funky coming out of Duke. Yeah. He went into Duke, highly recruited. Yeah, for sure. And for him to leave Duke with Coach K still being there the way he did,

people really wrote him off, saying he was a questionable quitter, the kind of person he was, they all questioned him, but to see what kind of player he's become and what kind of teammate he is, I only hear good things about him. For sure. And that's the crazy part about it is,

like you said, you get a kid in a situation and he feels like it just wasn't for him. You get in a ruthless fan base like the Dukies, they go crazy for theirs. But at the end of the day, you gotta make business decisions for yourself. I don't understand why they get so mad at prep players who take alternate routes.

Like, yeah, I went here, didn't work out. I had to go about my way. You look at like the Derris Bayes situation, get an internship and then go into the league. Hey man, this is business for a lot of different people. Y'all can't get mad because they don't wanna play for your team, bro. Yeah, don't get mad, but I want some real shit, bro.

A lot of times that shit don't work out. Yeah, that, he a rare case. No, for sure. So I understand like both sides, like I don't, like don't bash him, but if you don't feel like that shit might not work out, it's, nigga, it might not. And I don't know what happened at Duke with them.

Like I never really heard the story story like that, why he left or whatever, or I haven't looked into it. But usually that shit don't work out like that. Yeah. Yeah. He just happened to be super talented. For sure, cause like you said, in the normal world in that situation,

he's probably a lottery pick. He's probably in like 17, 18, something like that. Wherever he fell to, but we were happy to get him. So, and listen, I'm sure they're both happy. He got paid and they got him on a crazy deal for sure. Yeah. For sure, be here, listen man. 0 for 3 this week, man.

You got one more chance and make it right with the people, man, the holidays are approaching, brother. What you got for them? Yeah, so today I threw a college team in there that for some reason, Purdue was the underdog against Penn State, so I'm taking Purdue for the win. That's plus 108. Luca to get 35 on the Wizards for sure.
