on Rudy Gobert.
Talk bad to him, Dre.
Hey, he punched it, ah!
Y'all know how I feel about Rudy.
He just, he did the step night night celebration.
Ah, I know they was teed up in hell.
On my kids, that's my favorite player of 2024.
Oh God.
Cause I despise Rudy Gobert's game.
So, it's a know they beef.
He got, why he start that?
James Hard between the legs to the dunk.
Man, that nigga look like Escalade out there
between his legs.
And they quit.
They, they, oh that was tough.
And that's tough, I ain't see that.
Shout out to my nigga Dre Mom for the show.
Hey listen, Dre ain't even use no moves,
no right trigger, nothing.
He just went straight to the cup on Rudy.
Oh God.
Ain't no telling the last time he was
talking bad to him though.
Yeah.
While he was dribbling.
Sad ass nigga.
About to hit you with some flinch shit.
Hey, you ain't never seen somebody in history
choke somebody out and dunk on them.
Dread model legend for that for sure, man.
Yeah, I'm all for that.
For sure, man.
Steph had 30 yesterday, 30 and eight.
You know what I'm saying?
And man, so he had 27, but listen, man.
Let's just start with the Warriors.
You know what I'm saying?
We all feel like, is this a team who,
if they get in the playoffs and make some noise?
No.
No?
Yeah, I mean, they got Steph Curry.
Okay.
And then they got some capable shooters around them,
but anytime you got Steph Curry, you good.
Most definitely.
I think Wigg having a great year.
He playing well.
I know he's hurt right now, but he's playing well.
In Kaminga shows, I mean, he has moments
where he's really good, and then
they got capable guys around him.
Drake Mon like he did last night, he's been playing well
even though he been coming off the bench or whatever,
but he been playing with him.
But y'all, and you know what you said about Kaminga
last night, he had 20 and seven.
Hearing them talk about, listen, he up next.
We look at him like he up next.
We gonna treat him as such.
Yeah, he's still growing.
Yeah, he's still figuring it out.
He may not be what y'all want him to be yet,
but we see the potential.
We don't care if y'all don't see it.
Yeah, I mean, they know better than us.
But this was a game.
I mean, the Warriors just lost to them the other day.
T-Woods beat them at Golden State,
so they played a home home game.
They get back.
Yeah, they got their get back.
You usually don't get that kind of get back that fast,
but it was good to see them.
For sure, the T-Walls, man,
what they looking like so far here?
We all right, man.
We just rolling on through, we pacing.
No concerns?
No, they actually playing real.
They playing real well now.
No concerns, bro, we coasting.
When he hit our stride, we just,
we waiting on that five, six game winning streak
to really get this going.
That was on one.
I know, but I'm saying we need one
like towards the playoffs.
For us to feel like we comfortable to make some noise. They was playing one. I know, but I'm saying we need one towards the playoffs. For us to feel like we comfortable to make some noise.
They was playing defense again.
It's the first time they didn't hold somebody over.
They was holding guys on their 100 point.
And I think it's the first game they got over 100.
Somebody in the last four or five games.
But they've been playing defense.
They've been getting back to their old ways, locking up.
Watching Ant play is like, dope.
Like when you watch him play basketball, bro,
it's like fun.
He make me wanna play basketball, straight up.
And he's like.
Then I fuck with him for saying like, you know,
I don't know, I just feel like he got the relationship
with his players, like damn, about time I see my boy JR
finally playing defense.
I ain't never seen Julius running to play defense.
So I just think, bro, they just coasting trying
to figure it out.
So hopefully they can, you know.
He make you like excited about the game.
Him and Jahmurant make basketball exciting.
I ain't gonna lie, like, I love Boston, they good.
But I don't get excited when I watch Boston.
Like I know JT good, I know JB good.
I know they got the best team, whatever.
But I watch their games and I'm kind of like,
all right, they're good. But then when I watch Ant play and I'm kind of like, all right, they're good.
But then when I watch Ant play, I'm like, shit man,
I'm about to go hoop tomorrow.
You know what I mean?
I'm about to go do this.
And the same thing when I watch John, I'm like,
man, I'm going to jail.
And especially the way that both of them players play.
Like you said, Ant got that relationship
with he telling his teammates like,
damn, by the time you know what I'm saying,
you doing your thing.
He did it to Steph Cardi in the Olympics
when he was going crazy.
He was like damn by the time you showed up.
So if I can do that to the best player in the world bro,
I can talk to y'all like this.
Yeah, I think him.
Him being a leader at such a young age bro,
that franchise that they keep is in good hands.
For real.
Yeah, I listen, it'd be,
we know there's sometimes small markets I think
that happen but I could see them doing whatever they gotta do
to make sure they keep him.
Because that's my reason every where there is.
That's a lot.
He's a for lifer.
And that is Reggie Miller.
He's for life.
A lot of the fuck he is.
He's over.
For sure, man.
Listen, man, another player who should be a for lifer,
Jokic, man, I don't know what he was on this weekend,
but he chose violence.
My man had 48 yesterday as you know what I'm saying,
Nuggets beat the sleeves off your Hawks,
141, excuse me, to 111.
30 piece.
Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ with the little white dudes.
Listen man, this wasn't even the best game
he had this weekend.
That's the crazy part.
But yesterday he had 48, 16 to eight.
Come on man.
MPJ surprised me with seven to six.
That was a different bag.
Whoever took the over on Draft Kings,
you came up yesterday, my boy.
He probably surprised us up.
Seven and Six is crazy with MPJ.
Every time he pass, I feel like Cat,
when he do the ball from the top to keep to the quarter,
that's how I feel like MPJ pass the ball.
It's gotta be special
because he don't be swinging that shit for nothing.
I ain't gonna lie.
I know he might not win MVP, but he probably MVP.
Like, Yogi is crazy. Come on, bro. That's a lock, bro. Like, y'all get just crazy.
Come on bro.
That's a lock bro.
Like that's crazy bro.
Score at a hundred plus points in two games.
That's a lock.
Yeah and can we pull up the numbers from the Wizards game?
I know that they lost to the Wizards,
shout out to the Wizards.
You know what I'm saying?
Y'all deserve that.
Come on bro.
Whatever he had.
Oh he had three assists.
How about saying a word? Hell yeah. Y'all said seven on here. I said damn that. Oh, he had three assists. I'm about to say, you know what?
Hell yeah.
I mean, I said seven on here.
I said, damn, that's my verified bucket.
Okay, keep scrolling.
Keep scrolling.
That's seven rebounds.
Seven rebounds, dude.
We know MPJ and Packers.
I'm just saying on here, it says seven assists.
That's what I'm about to say.
He's automatically my verified book for the day.
Shout out to the fact check.
Shout out to the fact check.
Thank God we put some allegations on that boy.
You know he don't pass the basketball.
56.
Come on bro, 56, 16, that eight is stupid.
Yeah.
I don't care who guarding you bro, that's elite.
No it is, it's crazy, it's just not surprising. I don't think who guarding you bro, that's Elite. No it is, it's crazy to just not surprise them.
I don't think I ever seen any other center
with those numbers besides Will Chamber.
Yeah, that's why I was, I didn't wanna say it yesterday.
Yeah bro, play the video
and stop showing me that picture bro, it's cap.
I don't believe you bro.
I ain't gonna say it's cap but.
It's cap bro.
They only had like 17.
He was way ahead of his time bro.
Bro they showed us some 1940s football,
like some college football where they had the soft helmets
bro if they got footage of that game bro why don't they
have the best basketball game ever bro?
Show me the footage bro.
Kobe's 81 stands.
Where is your kitchen centers?
Like where does he rank?
Top five for damn sure.
Shit he hard than that.
Is he better than Shaq?
Ooh.
I think he a better basketball player than Shaq.
I don't think he more dominant than Shaq.
It's over with.
Yeah, Shaq's dominance is so crazy.
But outside, a lot of them people outside of,
I mean, I push Shaq above him,
but some other people who I don't know
he's so sure about, bro.
And I don't want to disrespect the old heads
and know they be feeling the way
when we say that shit about our ears and stuff,
but Yoko's fucking some of them up for sure.
Yeah, I think he got,
I think he the most skilled center.
Oh yeah, like Yoko's just cooking for the rest of them.
Between him and Hikin,
I think Shaq the most dominant.
Like if I had to pick a center, I'm picking Shaq.
That's the good.
Just cause he's easy money.
His pause, his size, like, you can't match that.
He like seven one, 400 or something.
And he could move.
Yeah, especially young Shaq bro.
Yeah, it wasn't shit you could do with Shaq.
That would never be another one of those.
Never be a Shaq again, that's dead.
But as far as skill,
I've never seen a center play like Yogi.
George Mike is crazy. George Mike is nuts. He's Yogi. George Michael is crazy.
George Michael is nuts.
He's going to get him 50 bro.
Yeah.
But I've never seen nobody skill the joke.
Hey bro.
Yogi is the second best of all time.
Damn.
Yeah, he better than everybody.
Besides Shaq.
I think he better than David Robinson.
I don't know about Hakeem.
He is better than David Robinson.
And David Robinson is called, he has 70, but he's better than David Robinson. And that's no different Hakeem. He is better than David Robinson. And David Robinson's called, he had 70,
but he's better than David Robinson.
And that's no different.
The only reason why I put Hakeem,
honestly I'll tell you that, but he might be three.
Hakeem was such a force on the defensive end.
Oh yeah bro, Dream was.
And he got two of them joints too.
I'm sorry, yeah, Hakeem.
Back to back, you gotta respect it.
I'll go Shaq, Hakeem, then Yoke, and then Kareem.
I know Kareem got all him down points and all that shit.
But yeah.
That is a lot of points to have.
You had to score the bucket.
And I, you know, I hate old niggas,
but Kareem going to hook shot, bro,
and scoring a basketball is, you eat lead, bro.
You was a Harlem Globetrotter your whole career, bro.
Yeah, on my mind.
Hold on, I gotta redo that.
Kareem number one.
Yeah, I can't say. Kareem number one. Yeah I gotta say.
Kareem.
He's still not number one for me
but him being a Harlem Globetrotter bro.
Hooking niggas all day bro.
Kareem.
I'ma go Shaq my number one prior.
He made one of the best moves in basketball history.
I gotta put him up there bro.
He was just.
Nah I respect your list bro.
I'm just sleep bro.
I don't wanna see it but that's crazy bro.
I gotta respect it.
I got Shaq one. I'ma go Hakeem two, Yoke three.
Okay, Kareem four.
Yeah, I gotta put Kareem four, bro.
I'm just nothing on his game, bro.
But it was so efficient and he was,
he killed on every level.
Yeah, I'm going back home.
High school.
Kareem too.
Dominated college, dominated the pros, bro.
You ill. And he played for 25 years. I think Shaq could tell you that Kareem was one. Yeah. Dominated college, dominated the pros, bro.
You in.
I think Shaq could tell you that Kareem is one.
Even though we feel differently,
I think Shaq would even tell you Kareem is one.
Yeah, I mean, if I've seen Shaq and Kareem in a game,
I think Shaq will kill Kareem.
Yeah, bro.
Throw it off the back.
Oh, if he asks me who I get to pick, oh yeah.
Kareem's just like this.
Shaq gonna kill Kareem.
But Kareem, his stats and all that.
He's gonna get 30. I don't know if Shaq can stop that hook either. Nah, he gonna get Shaq gonna kill Kareem. But Kareem, his stats and all that. He's gonna get 30 of them.
I don't know if Shaq can stop that hook either.
Nah, he gonna get Shaq 30.
He gonna bust Shaq ass.
All them will bust Shaq ass.
Shaq wasn't a defense.
He wasn't, but he elbowed the shit out of you so much,
he drained you, bro.
After three drop steps, bro.
His offense, the game was like his defense.
That's why I just think Arvidis the bonus was so cold
because he was the only nigga that took that beating
from Shaq, bro, and was still killed, bro.
I seen Ben Wallace on Shaq.
I ain't never seen that.
Well, that's how they won the chip.
That was like, I don't know, that was an allegation of Shaq.
I'm gonna put that on DP, I'm gonna put that on Carl.
I ain't gonna put that on Shaq.
Nah, that ain't Shaq's fault, bro.
I'm not taking away from what you saw, bro.
I just feel like that was just a different time.
There was allegations going on.
They had just one, how many in a row, too?
Yeah, bro.
Nah, it's time to, hey, Ben Wallace is slept on, too.
For you to be motherfucking 6'3",
going on a nigga like that.
That's why he in the hot face.
Everybody why he in the hot face.
He's one of the best defenders ever.
Yeah, that's probably the best defensive front court ever.
Don't disrespect the career.
I don't keep career in one.
Shaq two,
high king three,
yoke four, yoke four.
Do they teach hook shots anymore?
There's the small jump hook.
That's not even a thing anymore.
They barely teach layups anymore.
How they do a three?
You know, I ain't, you know what I mean?
I ain't tap to a three.
Now you know they all, you get spooky.
All the big men want to shoot threes now.
They ain't trying to, you know what I mean?
Oh okay, you know the jump hook was a thing for a while.
It was.
You know what I mean?
I need to bring it back.
Yeah.
For sure man.
All right listen, I know it was a belt to ask situation,
but how you feel about your Hawks man?
When it last six games?
You got, you know, it's so many games in the season.
You're gonna have a game where you just ain't got it. They just didn't have it last six games? You got, you know, it's so many games in the season. You're gonna have a game where you just ain't got it.
You just didn't have it last night.
Trae Young can't score 15.
He been scoring like between 15 and 20 games like that, bro.
They probably need you to get y'all 30, 40 piece
that you was doing these past years.
He bein' a pure point this year.
Yeah. I respect that.
And y'all want me to pass, right?
That's what I've been askin' you to do.
I feel like it's kinda like, ugh. But it that. And y'all want me to pass, right? That's what I've been asking me to do. I'm doing it.
I feel like it's kind of like, ugh.
But it's been working though.
Yeah.
They won five, what, five, six in a row.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just had a bad game last year.
For sure, I mean, and obviously, before we get out of here,
how y'all feel about the Nuggets,
they're a championship window.
Do they need to get another piece
or they a team that can compete right now for a title?
They finally got Aaron Gordon back.
Jamal Murray hasn't been Jamal Murray. Yeah, we were
used to. So that's their biggest problem right now. Jamal Murray just not. Jamal Murray, we fell in
love with at the bubble. Jamal Murray in the bubble is the color the basketball player ball's on.
Give me your boy from the Pacers. Yeah, TJ Warren. TJ Warren was Jesus Christ bro in the bubble,
bro. I thought he was the next coming, bro. Hey, after that shit, that nigga was coming
to the factory, bro.
Who put me these niggas?
He was giving niggas some blues at the factory.
Shout out to TJ.
He was giving boys the blues out there.
Now, on everything, you're supposed to play with bro now.
He put it at the factory and got somebody like 12 in a row.
Then he only played like three games and left
for like three or four games.
And now that's why I have a role like that Max.
I'm gonna go cook everybody while my game sliders is up.
Nah, yeah, it shows up for sure.
It's the first time I see some people just chill out,
get humble a little bit.
Oh, okay.
Somebody saw what it was like for real quick.
Yeah, I was like, yeah.
So, niggas, this is a real difference. Yeah, I was like, yeah. Showing niggas, this is a real difference.
I said, ooh.
He was pretty good though.
He always could hoop.
It's just crazy, like that run he had,
I thought he was gonna be in the league for a while.
Not doing that type of crazy shit.
That was unreal, but I don't know.
It just seemed like he kinda fell off.
Well, he had an injury too.
Yeah, he got hurt.
No, but that's what I'm saying.
Like he didn't come back from it.
Yeah, but nah, I remember it was a, short time period was That kind of sent him back. But he had that injury. Yeah.
But nah, I remember it was a,
short time period was very short,
but him and Jimmy was the thing.
Until the next time we played the Heat,
and Jimmy ended that.
They had hurt.
So that was a Tony Warren dream, man.
About to out.
Hey man, the Bucks,
we can win over the Nets yesterday, 118 and 113.
We talked about it, man, Chris Melton.
I mean, getting a player,
when you're getting an all-star,
Hall of Fame capable player,
I mean, arguably with a three-time all-star champion.
Yes, sir.
He might be able to get in the hall, huh?
Yeah, he gonna have the stats.
He good, man.
He gonna have the stats, he gonna have the accolades.
Getting a player with his capability back.
Shit, it's only up from here.
I mean, they played well against the Boston Celtics
if defending champs.
He played on limited minutes and they played good.
And you can see down the stretch they was going to him.
They know what to do.
Yeah. So getting him back a closer.
Yeah. They are.
They'll be all right.
Listen, man.
Yannis was doing, he does best 34 and 11 yesterday.
Like Schroeder had 34 and 11 too.
He be hoping this year.
He gonna get traded.
They just be killing bro.
Yeah I wonder who.
And Johnson 26, that's what I been saying.
They too good, they playing too good,
you gonna get relocated.
Yeah, I don't know who they gonna get traded to.
Yeah that's still tough for me.
They have plenty of teams.
Yeah I'm too, I'm too people that really are needed.
The Lakers need Dennis.
Couple teams need Dennis for real.
That would be crazy.
Those are two players.
Like you said, that would fit on that team.
Perfect.
They probably need to do a trade with the Nets.
For sure.
But the problem is again, who do they give up that people want?
D'Angelo Russell.
If that baby D'Angelo Russell and that again, that's crazy. They need Bonnie. I'm making sure the angel of Russell. If that baby Russell net again, that's crazy.
They need Ronnie.
I'm making sure that I like her again.
I mean, that's a good thing for him.
He told them I gotta go back to this.
That's what he was killing.
He probably want to.
If I'm Dennis, I do not want to leave Brooklyn though.
My first time actually having a team that's kind of
around me. Yeah.
On that payday down, that's what the problem is
with that situation.
Staying broke and keep killing up.
But listen man, they've been doing a lot of work this year.
Like you said, there's a lot of pieces on that team
that could probably help some contenders out.
Man, the Nets been playing interesting basketball too.
Nobody expected them to be one of the better teams
in the East this year, but that's definitely where they at.
Well the whole East of Congress is shit.
Yeah man, listen, we had high expectations for the whole Easter conference is shit. Yeah, man.
Listen, we had high expectations for the East
and it is just, hey, listen, you three games away, bro.
You three games away from changing
the whole entire franchise around, bro.
That's really crazy to me, bro, that the East is that bad.
It's nasty, bro. But it's early.
It's early.
It's early, bro, bro.
People still sad, bro, because look right now,
listen, your Heat, man, and took care of the Cav yesterday,
the fourth off of the season.
Yeah, I just rock with Tyler here,
I don't fuck with the heat.
Okay, well he had 34 years,
so he don't rock with the heat outside of him.
Nah, I'm smooth on them.

You are not a real fighter. You will never be discussed anywhere in boxing
history. Ever. Fake Paul. The movie is The Apprentice and the movie is about young Donald Trump and his apprentice,
Roy Cohen.
Real character, obviously both are real characters.
It kind of has a Scarface vibe to it, which I thought was very interesting.

He went crazy. I started 34 and seven.
Duncan Robinson went crazy. 23, boy.
It's a good sign.
Duncan Robinson making shots again.
Yeah, he didn't charge today. A really different team for sure, which is crazy.
DG had 23 yesterday, Don only had 12,
so for Don and Mitchell have 12 points and y'all lose
by nine off night, fourth off of the season.
You have bad nights.
They just bound to run into some shit like that, bro.
Damn.
Season too long, they gonna have some potholes,
they gonna hit for sure.
And the heat we was talking about, maybe they need to tank out shit, they on a three potholes. They gonna hit the show. And the Heat, we was talking about,
maybe they need to take out shit.
They're on a three game win streak,
five for the last seven.
I don't know though,
but I don't think Bam wanna lose though like that.
Nah, you know the Heat,
they always one of them teams that make that run.
Yup.
They go through all these injuries,
be sad, Jimmy be out for a little bit,
Bam get hurt, Tyler Hero get hurt,
and all of a sudden they all come back
and they make this run.
Yup. Then they make a trade and get a cool player and- That shit, Tyler Hero get hurt, and all of a sudden they all come back and they make this run.
Then they make a trade and get a cool player.
And make it to the conference finals.
Yeah, then all the role players that had our year play
out of their fucking minds in the playoffs.
And then they get paid and go somewhere else
and sit on the bench.
That's why I don't fuck with them, I think it's fixed, bro.
How y'all got the same storyline every year, bro?
Gabe Vincent hoop out, go to LA, don't play.
Somebody else gonna hoop out.
What's the Caleb twin, what's the Martin twin?
Go to Philly, don't play.
They gonna send him to Charlotte.
You know what's crazy man?
Everybody gets so mad at Gay Vincent,
but they was like, I just see you killing the finals.
Shout out to somebody in gay bro, catch that chick.
What was they talking about?
Sometimes you just can't leave that,
like the grass ain't greener, bro.
Yeah.
Cause you gotta know whoever vibed out with you
or rocked with you when you got the money,
to get the money, they gonna rock with you regardless.
When you go to that other place,
they expect certain things,
but you don't know how the organization,
how the players gonna respond.
Yeah.
Going to the Lakers.
What's your problem?
What's your problem, bro?
Shit, shit and me. Hey, what's crazy is you talk into the Lakers. What's your problem? Yeah, shit me.
Hey, what's crazy is you talk about the same story.
Maybe it's just Eric Spostra.
Maybe it's Pat Riley.
No, they know how to pick them.
They real particular about who they come through them doors,
bro.
No, yeah, but I'm saying they help them get right.
As long as you get paid, you probably like bro say you
probably should have stayed bro.
Miami had a bad spot.
It's kind of like one of them players like that, for real.
Like Lance, when he left Indiana.
Shoulda never left.
Go to Charlotte.
Never left the Michael Jordan.
Shit got weird after a while.
These ones are gonna get paid, though.
They even gonna get paid here, but.
The difference, even if it was a lot more than what it was,
it didn't help.
Cause remember, he had to go through a couple places
before he came back here, which is, he dropped here.
I mean, I get it, shit, take a chance.
Ain't nothing wrong with it, but like you said,
the grass ain't always green in those situations.
I was never a chance taker.
Nah, you sure the fuck wasn't.
I remember the time I took a chance,
that shit did not work.
Y'all want me for 32 years for two million?
Where you at?
32 years for two million. I you at? Woo. 32 years for two million.
I be doing that JB song.
I be doing that JB song.

Y'all the 500k man, y'all out of pocket.
Y'all are crazy man.
Listen, we got a couple games to go through for sure.
The 76ers beat the Bulls yesterday and B came back.
31 and 12, Maxxie 25 and 14 and 11,
like a little trippy dub.
That's my boy, man.
I hope that they can go on a little,
you know the East is so trash.
But they can come back.
They can fuck around and make some shake.
They can fuck around and be the A7 seed.
Seven, but they can go on a win streak and be like East.
Can y'all pull up the East please?
Conference standings.
Even though I don't wanna try to ruin my morning,
but pull it up.
I looked at that last night in pure disgust.
Look at this, bro.
This is all nasty work.
The heat is the 12th season.
You can talk about that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the heat.
Strong, bro.
Ooh, damn, 76ers only got how many games?
They got seven.
Look at them, look at them.
Look at them Bucks, let's go Bucks.
They going to four or five game winning streak.
They can be a seven, eight.
The Pistons have three more wins than 76ers is crazy.
Yeah, this is like, yeah.
Sixers is going to be the sixth team.
That's all I'm saying.
Let's go Tyrese.
Hey, how funny would it be if the Sixers
made some noise to play after starting off terrible,
everybody talking shit about them.
They come to playoffs and fuck around,
goes like the conference finals. That's why it's scary though. Everybody talking shit about them. They come to playoffs and fuck around, go like the Crop of Finals.
I low key think they might.
Yeah, they can.
It's very possible for that to happen.
Yeah, they ain't good.
Matter of fact, they probably gonna be the fourth or 15.
Okay, Philly, we back.
They got a chance, bro.
Let's hope out these.
Oh, listen, you can either taint or be in a playoffs.
Shout out to the Bucks.
The Bucks gonna move up.
They might get spooky for the Magic.
The Bucks might replace the Magic.
The Magic, yeah.
Yeah, you just had a fatal injury.
Yeah, the Friens.
Bro, they got two fatal injuries.
How they both get the same oblique injury.
That's crazy.
Bro, it's like in the water.
Boy, they still put the Mediterranean staff
in the malegations.
So I see the Bucks moving on up, them, the Mediterranean staff and them allegations. So I see the Bucs moving on up, bro,
in that conference for sure.
Shit.
The Hawks being the seventh seed at 13 and 12 is crazy.
The fact is they can move up too
because they've been hooping too.
That's the crazy part.
Yeah, but I'm saying like,
They're gonna get to that sixth seed.
The real superstars is on the Bucs team, bro,
and they supposed to be up there
like we predicted before this shit started.
The sixth is gonna,
they're gonna end up a playoff team for sure.
Almost definitely.
Five, six, it's all good.
Shout out to them.
Hornets beat the Patriots yesterday, 113 to 109.
Brandon Miller be killing the-
I guess every time B Miller sees the Patriots,
it's time for a mixtape, 26 and six.

These is grown men, I get the coaches,
you know we make jokes and shit about Darvin' him
and Doc and, bro these niggas is professional athletes, bro.
I agree.
Y'all should be able to figure it out, bro.
Trying to get rid of the coach, bro, every week is crazy.
But until it happens.
Y'all gotta take some type of accountability though, bro.
The players have to take some type of accountability.
We can't keep firing the coaches, bro.
For sure.
But did you not hear me say that everybody in that roster is said zero,
double zero, 43 can go.
That's accountability.
Oh, bro.
You you won the math and go on bro.
No, I wanted him gone because we're gonna play like if you're not gonna play
him.
What are you doing?
You holding me back you anyway, you try to get paid.
It's me.
You respect that.
We got you.
Well some pictures we suck.
Magic beat the Sun just like 115 to 110.
Listen, man, we talked about the trash they had.
How the hell did they win without Frank?
Because the Phoenix Suns suck without Kevin Durant.
But like one for nine, that's crazy, bro.
Come on, bud, I've seen you work shit for less now.
I don't know what's going on. Yeah, but like they have to tell, I know seen you work shit for less now.
I don't know what's going on.
Yeah, but like that happened to town.
I know they gotta figure it out.
I understand losing a best player hurts,
but damn, like the magic lost.
We still won games when I was out now.
I respect that.
When I was Katie for the Hawks.
I respect that.
Jopped the dentist.
The dentist held it down.
You know what I mean?
With the blonde tip.
Pause.

Dentist had the blonde tip on his throat.
Did you have your mohawk at the same time too?

This starts them to together just find out where they standing the half court together while somebody shooting the free girl or something
Yeah, why we can move on though man The Grizzlies beat the Wizards, man.

Wait, look at Dennis Shrouder hairline, Mike.
Whatever you did before that scream.

Oh yeah, right, respect.
Freaking backwoods is crazy.

then it's drove her a guy for the Steve Harvey and the league.
That's how, that one right there.
Come on, man.
Shout out to my niggas in the a shot to all the barbers.

It's like he has this guy here.
Nah, respect bro.
They got him right after.
Damn.
That nigga didn't do that.
That nigga hand-muddled like that. That nigga hand was like that's crispy.
Oh God.
He used to put his up,
he used to tape his own ankles at first.
Damn bro.
Like my nigga they tape ankles bro.
He ain't even from Africa is he?
No he's German.
German, damn.
Y'all did it strong.
Hey man, sons y'all gonna have to figure it out man.
Y'all can't keep losing man.
That was a lost two. I mean the Madden's still a good team but they lost both they all starts to figure it out man. Y'all did it, Shro. Hey man, Suggs, y'all gonna have to figure it out, man. Y'all can't keep losing, man. That was a loss to, I mean, the Maddys still a good team,
but they lost both their All-Stars to figure it out, man.
Y'all got some too.
Yeah.
They done sucked too, last night.
For sure going crazy, bro.
26 piece, something slight.
D-Book said he had 25, don't know what he does best, for sure.
Grizzlies beat the Wizards yesterday, 140 to 112.
We're not putting up there because
the Wizards got smacked again.
Surprise, surprise.
We should talk about the Grizzlies, though.. We need to talk about the Grizzlies though.
Yeah.
Most definitely talk about the Grizzlies.
They are forced to be working with in the West.
John Moran, he probably the most athletic guard
I ever seen.
To go baseline on a seven four dude for Zingas
and a double clutch like Vince Carter.
That was crazy.
Did y'all see that?
Bro, come on.
After telling us he wasn't dunking no more
and did that shit so slight,
like he did like the safe version of that shit.
That shit was crazy.
Shout out to Scottie Pippen Jr. too.
Hey man, hoop in.
Maximizing your role, bro.
That's crazy.
But man, that's like the job for everybody
who know what I'm saying, who tap in with John.
They play well, they play together.
Like you said, the energy about Anthony Edwards
with John Moran is apparent, bro.
It's a totally, the whole entire building is different
when you're there, bro.
Yeah, I don't know, I speak high.
Cause what's up boy, Desmond Bane too.
I just feel like he just give them
a different type of confidence.
And now Desmond Bane, no, he my dog, bro.
I just don't know if you had the same effect
on the different team.
I think he one of the players you could put,
especially now in his career,
he could put him on another-
I'm talking about in the beginning though.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Like playing with Jai helped me with that.
That turned him up.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Probably gay, not even gonna say gay,
but you know what I'm saying,
helped him solidify career early for sure.
No doubt.
He went Jared Jackson Jr. for sure.
Like the benefits of playing the players like him, bro.
Nah.
Jai turned him up.
That's crazy, man.
Y'all are going crazy shots to the Grizzlies.
What do they need to put them over at a hump
or even put them in Denver Nuggets, Milwaukee Bucks?
Cam Johnson.
They get Cam Johnson.
And they tried to before.
They get Cam Johnson.
They a real team, for sure.
They like, cause they already good.
They second in the West right now.
They competing at a high level.
They get Cam Johnson, another wing to solidify.
You see, you can see championship.
They right there.
I don't know if they could beat,
they just play well against Boston.
I don't know if they could beat them
in a seven game series,
but I think they could win the West.
They get cam Johnson.
I mean, everybody stay healthy.
Yeah, right now the thunder, the thunder and the Grizzlies are one and two.
So in the seven game series, both teams healthy.
Who you got under Grizzlies?
If they try for cam Johnson, right?
We can. I got the Grizzlies. I the Grizz. I will go Grizz as soon.
Because as good as I think SGA is, I think that in a playoff series, Jive would be the
one to take that over.
It'd be very interesting to see.
Very, very interesting to see.
But I think that.
I'm doing nothing.
I ain't gonna lie.
You're on with the Thunder.
I mean, that big guys, you been rolling with them.
I don't know, bro.
Who the fuck gonna guard check?
Who gonna guard the youngster with the throw?
That's Terrence Jackson Jr. with him. I don't know bro. Who the fuck gonna guard Chet?
Who gonna guard the youngster with the fro?
Darren Jackson Jr.
Darren Jackson Jr. gonna have to hold down the paint.
He gonna have to guard.
Oh he said, light?
Shem God.
Nah he can guard Chet.
He can guard Chet.
Okay.
On that ring room.
Not around that perimeter bro.
And then when Big E.D. get back for real for real?
That's a fire ass matchup, though.
That's a hell of a series.
If they got Cam Johnson,
they don't got Cam Johnson, I got the thunder.
If they can trade to get Cam Johnson,
I know it probably won't happen, but.
But you gotta give up somebody then, bro.
You giving up.
They want picks.
Some of them young guys, they got them picks.
Yeah, you gonna have to give up picks.
I like Scottie Pippen Jr. game so much though.
For sure.
Underrated pick up for them.
I know he don't always play,
but Jay Huff was a good off season pick up for them.
One of the patients was looking at him.
I was pissed we didn't get him.
That boy can shoot.
And now straight up.
That's what Pippen get them bro in 20 minutes a night.
It's 48 minutes in the game.
It's needed bro.
Shout out to Jaylin Wells, rookie too.
Killing.
He like they new Tigers Jones.
He play well. He don't new Tigers Jones, he played well.
He can't really turn it over, played well.
Mark is smart, playing for his position, man.
The Grizzlies are a solid team, man.
We know what John can do.
He booted a needle every time for sure.
Spurs beat the Pelicans yesterday, 121 to 116.
Went B25 at 10, certain slight, but hey man,
shout out to CP3, second place all time and assists, man.
A whole lot of assists, boy.
Crazy.
He really number one.
John Stockman shit, he inflated, ain't it?
John Stockman shit is a cap, bro.
Yeah, some of his is cap.
That's crazy, bro.
You know what's funny?
Because we always used to look at that list
and be like, bro, ain't nobody ever
catching John Stockman, bro.
As many years as niggas played and as good as they were,
it's like nobody was ever going to come close.
Now that's crazy that we getting real about that, bro.
I wonder why that's not a thing for real though.
That kind of went under the rug.
Yeah, it kind of like, we inflated his stats, but.
And you know, the interesting part about that is
we didn't start hearing that shit till after he started
saying he wasn't fucking with none of that COVID stuff either.
So I wonder, you know what I'm saying,
the timing that's real interesting for me, but.
He was a killer though.
Shout out to Josh.
No, he lead, bro.
But them playing with them numbers like that, bro.
It's kind of interesting.
I seen him in person, bro.
Pause, but he is a lot bigger than what I've seen.
Yeah, bro.
He like 6'3", bro.
Yeah, he not small.
I seen him in LA.
I swear to God, bro, at a restaurant.
And I was, I did not know like,
he not no little motherfucker.
He damn near like small.
He like 2'10". Yeah, I near like, small bro. He like 210.
Yeah, I've never seen him.
Of course I have.
Why would I ever run into fucking John Stockton?
But I saw him, I said, bro, there's no way that's him.
That's what I thought.
So I walked up on him, I said,
uh, nigga, tall enough.
I'm like, a little white dude can't guard nobody and shit.
He bigger than me.
Everybody think he built like Steve Nash.
Nah, he legit 6'4".
But Steve Nash like 6'3". Yeah, but I'm saying he's bigger than Steve Nash. Nah. He legit 6'4". But Steve Nash like 6'3".
But I'm saying he's bigger than Steve Nash, bro.
Like damn their body slam a motherfucker type shit, bro.
Cause Paul's, I remember watching like some of the
dreams he was talking about,
I was like damn I ain't that nigga John Stockett.
That nigga's leg definition was crazy.
That's how y'all be killing, bro.
So him locking up, guarding chest up, players like that.
I'm like damn, he probably really was on that for real.
I used to whoop shit too.
Shout out to John Stockton.
We ain't gonna put no smile on your dog.
That's how I felt about Bibby when I first seen Bibby.
I thought he was a small garden.
You see him, he walk up here like, damn.
Nah, he taller than me.
John Stockton like see.
Nah, he's bigger than that bro.
I ain't boy shit.
Damn man.
But shout out to CP man, like you said,
that's really number one.
Nah, hell yeah.
The allegation is this,
CP been going crazy a long time.
What's your favorite CP?
Damn.
What spot?
My favorite CP was the Hornets.
Yeah, that's mine too.
You know what, I'm gonna mix it up.
I'm gonna go OKC.
Him reviving Tyson Chandler career was big.
I'm gonna go OKC bro.
OKC when he had, you know what I'm saying?
Young Gashier showing him how to do it
and that was killing.
Come on bro.
You're getting the team back to the playoffs bro.
That Clippers CP crazy too though.
CP with the Hornets bro.
Different.
CP I was a fan in high school.
When he was in high school
cause his story about his grandfather.
Yeah that was hard.
He went crazy.
I was like damn that's what made me like
notice who Chris Paul was.
Then he went to Wake Forest.
And he was exciting to watch there,
made me wanna go to Wake Forest.
Then when he got to the league, I was at Wake Forest.
He was with New Orleans.
Nah, he was nasty.
I was saying, I was asleep on David West.
He made me a fan.
Yeah, and listen, bro, I know he would be saying a lot
how they feel about Chris Paul.
Regardless, Chris Paul's one of the coldest.
Yeah, basketball.
One of the coldest, first ballet,
one of the best PGs to ever play basketball.
Don't ever get it fucked up.
I ain't gonna lie, him and New Orleans, bro,
I tried to mimic his game, bro.
He was cold, sneaking a pick and roll,
how to steal the basketball, all that shit.
I took all that stuff from him.
So he definitely was an influence on my game.
Then when I got to the league,
he start figuring different stuff out.
Start watching film on the other guys.
But CP was like, the guy I tried to take a lot of stuff
from when he was called.
Show man, shout out to CP3, man.
Rockets beat the Clipshaws like 117 to 106,
Jaden LeGran 31, Thompson 20, 20, 2 and 8.
The Thompson 20 and Twin cold bro.
Yeah.
Tari Easton and him, they a young wing duo
and they still got Ken Whitmore.
They got some young wings bro.
Waiting bro.
Houston got, they, all right I'm gonna say it now.
They got a young boss, they a young boss.
With them young wings, bro.
Jalen Green.
Thompson.
With more.
Hey, I see what they doing.
And the scary part about it is I was reading some stuff
online about Ken Woodward, they were just like, you know,
they showing a young talent because now they got so many
people that at some point somebody gonna have to move. And they got the talent, they got the draft capital, and
they got a little bit of bread. They go get somebody to pair up
