We've been waiting for this all basketball season, baby.
Game day.
Yeah, tonight's the night.
Game one in the NBA finals.
Indiana Pacers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder live in OKC tonight.
It's been a hell of a year, man, but we finally here, man.
How we feeling?
I know Bishop, one of your 18s made it.
I know you feeling good.
You hit the lottery a couple times this year.
I mean, I was three for four in the final four.
So, I mean, we're gonna probably win by 20 tonight.
Oh, okay, we're gonna get to predictions.
See, I ain't even gonna start there.
We're gonna start with some positive vibes.
I wanna ask y'all this question.
That's crazy.
Yeah, we don't like the negativity in the morning.
I got this fit on.
We ain't losing without wearing this fit.
I've been, you know what I'm saying?
These and the SB4 has been getting us all W, so we better
not lose tonight because I'm going to burn this shit. But
hey, before we even get to the finals, I've been seeing a lot
of, you know what I'm saying, trade rumors. I want to ask both
of y'all this in particular. You think with a second apron
affected salary caps so much that teams are just like going
two or three years all in and then just swapping everything
out. So I've seen Jaylen Brown reportedly on the trading
block saying that Totio's definitely interested.
It's a lot of key pieces that normally would be like
cornerstones or franchises that are rumored
to be moved around this summer.
It's the move of shit, bro.
Ain't trying to pay all that money, bro.
Get you for a couple years, get everything we can get,
gotta move on.
Yeah, that tax gonna be crazy for some of them teams though.
So like you said, that second April, I'm cool.
I'm paying that much money in tax.
And obviously your window part shrunk,
like you was gonna be a,
y'all was gonna be a championship contender,
y'all got a championship.
And plus for Boston, they got a whole new ownership group.
So maybe they definitely might not be trying
to spend that much money on a team,
especially with JT getting hurt.
Most definitely, look at it being like last year,
both the teams and conference finals,
you know what I'm saying?
Probably gonna be this metal, one already is.
Second rumor to be, man, is it really about
what you can do this year or maybe next year?
Because we ain't even seen it next year
from the teams from the conference finals.
Oh yeah, but I mean it is what it is, bro.
I think everybody should just stay where they at.
Yeah, he don't like that moving around, so he didn't be here. I know, bro. It's a money thing. Now this is real. Money thing, bro, it ain't about the teams or nothing. I think everybody should just stay where they at
About the teams or none chemistry is a money thing
Hey boys is getting too much money now, bro. Yeah, and the tax is too high for a lot of crazy deals, bro
Yeah, okay. We can't afford this man. The supermax is gonna be pretty what? Half a billion? Half a billion? Yeah. Making an RNBA?
Making something.
SGA is like 385, ain't it?
Yeah, so you keep going by the time
when it be time to get paid, bro.
Who the highest paid player in the NBA right now?
J.L. Merrill?
Jason Tatum.
Jason Tatum.
Jason Tatum.
That'll be Shay.
Yep.
Damn, 385 is a lot.
That's a lot of money.
All that shit is a lot, but then 385 is wild.
And you know what's crazy?
I know to regular people like myself and average fans,
people are like, that's a lot of fucking money.
But when you really look at it, it's just a portion.
Nah, for sure.
The salary cap should go up.
I mean, like all these things should increase
because these owners is getting crazy money off this, bro.
They are paying salaries.
If you could pay somebody 300 million,
just imagine what you make.
Exactly.
And that's just one person.
That's just one person. I got a whole organization. I got a whole salary. Just imagine what you make
I got a whole organization. I got a whole salary

I was about 26 in Atlanta with 300 million.
Crash out on the way.
Or even like 26, I was bam out of Bayou,
making that much money in Miami.

Oh my god big za. Okay. All right, man. We need to super chat early with what they Za. All right man, we in the Super Chat early with
the young R.E. Mike Jones.
Who?
That's funny.
What y'all think about Noah Liles going on podcasts
again complaining about not getting a shoe deal
from Adidas?
Nobody's trying to wear a Noah Liles shoe.
It's a very simple answer.
You can be the greatest track star of all time.
You are not Michael Johnson, bro.
He be trying too hard, bro.
Just chill, bro.
You a fire athlete, bro.
That's a fact, though.
Mike, you writing that up there,
you only seen him once every four years.
And you annoying.
Yeah, when we do see you being annoying.
Just be cool, bro.
And you a phenomenal, phenomenal athlete, bro.
You're amazing, bro.
Your life is wonderful.
I mean, who am I to shoot down your dreams
and get the shoe deal?
But if you think it's just that simple, bro,
it's a lot of athletes and a lot of different sports
that don't have a shoe deal that's way more visible
and way more polarized.
Start doing cool shit on the internet though.
Make yourself like a personable person.
Brand yourself better though.
Yeah bro, you wild.
Shout out to your PR team.
Tell them to lock in.
Most of his branding is more like from hate
on other people.
Like if you want a shoe deal like, hey you should.
For real.
Cause like if you want a shoe deal like I do,
Hoka, I'm wearing them right now.
Shout out to Hoka and the team for sending us some,
you know what I mean?
I tell y'all.
You two got on the brown and blue ones today.
Yeah.
My boy locked in.
You got the black and orange outfit.
He's a Hoka Lee for sure.
Hoka Lee baby.
If y'all notice, y'all don't know what I wear out here,
I obviously just throw the hoodie in.
I have a pajama pants under here.
That's all I'm talking about.
The four-hitting thing, I used to love the old SID.
Boy, they used to have a hoop-short sneer.
But yes, that's the way you do it.
Oh my God.
All right, man.
Molly in the Super Trash shit, I was arguing with my dogs.
You take Tyrese out and pull a mellow.
Patience get better or worse.
Worse.
Shout out to the mellow.
I didn't know the mellow liked it.
Yeah, shout out to Lamello.
If you have seen this team without Tyrese,
boy, we are not that great.
519 Block says,
when Pacers end up winning the finals,
what would be the biggest small market team to win?
Or does the Bucs still hold that title?
I think the Bucs because we have,
we're a small market,
but we have really big events every year.
Final Four come here.
We're a bigger city.
We had a Super Bowl.
A 500, bro, yeah.
National Championship is gonna be in Sicily.
Yeah, we're not really a small city.
Our market is small, but it's a bigger city.
It's one of the top, what is it,
like top 15 big cities in the nation?
Yeah, so.
Yeah, people don't come here to have fun,
but they come here for business.
There's always business attraction in the city.
So man, first things first,
Patriots and Thunder first to reach their second finals.
Who would this win mean more to?
It would probably mean more to SGA
and the Oklahoma City Thunder, because he's an MVP.
So arguably the best player in the league,
and then their team been the best team in the league.
So I think it probably mean more to them.
It's like a higher expectation.
I think the Pacers, even though they're a really good team,
I think they just kind of thrilled to be here.
I think the city is just amazed
that they was able to get here.
Like, damn.
Because we had no expectation for the Pacers
at the way they started the year.
We were like, ah man, it's over.
They had, it was a Cinderella run last year.
Cause you know, they bounced back, made this run,
but to be honest, living here,
we just happy as hell that they hit the finals.
Pacers damn near Butler, bro.
One Butler made to the national championship.
I think it's equal though,
since just cause they both don't got one.
You know what I'm saying?
If you get one, that's just going to be crazy. Yeah. Both sides. I just think to me, it's equal though, just cause they both don't got one. You know what I'm saying? If you get one, it's just gonna be crazy.
Both sides.
I just think to me it's gonna mean more
for the Patriots cause of Tyrese.
Because just like not to double down on it.
Yeah, I know we speak on that a lot,
but I mean, Shay, it's like you supposed to win.
That's what I said it mean more,
cause it's like number one team in every season.
If you lose to this, like this team,
this Cinderella team that wasn't supposed to be.
I can see it both ways.
Cause it's almost like they count the Pacers out too.
For real.
If the Pacers win, we gonna be lit.
But we already counted out.
Yeah, both shots to J.Woo.
He the only person to auto media people who picked us, bro.
I love it that way.
Who said we gonna get swept?
That's what I mean. So it mean more like if you lose this it was written for OKC to win.
Like if we lose this OK.
They better be glad Tyrese don't act like Ant. They better be glad.
Cause I swear to God bro.
He kinda talks shit though.
He does. No he talks but you know it's different.
He ain't like Ant.
I kinda like the way Tyrese talk shit.
It's like a subliminal, like he wears overrated shirts.
Oh yeah.
You know he come in and be like, it's cool,
like the choke sound pause, it's like.
Hell yeah he do.
It's like a subtle, it ain't overbearing.
Like Ant don't even really talk shit.
He just be him.
Be hype, bruh.
He just be popping shit.
He really be hype.
Like they said we was gonna get swept.
Got them outta here.
But y'all know the vibes.
Yeah, he just.
If he won, he already told y'all.
If he won a championship or do some shit like Kyrie did,
bro, he dropping his pants, bro.
That's the reason.
He is the one doing it.
His mom.
You know what I'm saying?
So, Tyrese.
He from the neighborhood.
Yeah, Tyrese.
You win, bro.
Where Tyrese from?
Pop, you're Iowa. Wisconsin. He like from Iowa, okay. Yep, him and Sean here are bro. Where Tyrese from? popular Iowa. Wisconsin.
He like from Iowa, okay.
Yep, him and Todd Hero from similar classes.
He went to school in Iowa.
Yeah, he was Iowa, say.
Yeah, but you know, like they probably from a suburban area.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And it's just a different vibe.
And he talking about it, he was like,
this down there at the big city he lived in type shit.
So that's why he was always cool with being
in the small market, cause how he grew up.
But y'all, shout out to the, listen,
he doing recaps every round, bro.
He talking his shit subtly, bro.
Nah, facts, but I'm just saying if he wins, y'all,
I told y'all before, bro, that is gonna,
I don't even know, bro.
But when we win this shit, bro,
it's gonna get different, bro.
It's gonna get real different.
I hope they do win, bro.
If the Pacers win the chip, bro,
it's gonna be a huge disappointment for OKC
because the year they had MVP,
two of all NBA players.
MVP, defensive players all across the board making first team, second team, all this shit.
They got all these accolades.
If they lose, bro that's a disappointment.
I couldn't be Tyrese.
They gonna nitpick them.
They gonna hint this good hint.
Nah.
They ain't gonna say nothing about the Pacers.
Pacers lose, they're gonna be like,
they gotta run that team back next year.
Best team we ever had, Pacer history.
They okay, see, lose.
Jalen Williams is not that good.
Or whoever.
Chad Holmgren has to get in the weight room.
Yeah, like, they're gonna be like, go get KD.
Yeah.
Go get KD.
They not gonna tell. It might be easier for them to get KD then though. But I'm saying, they ain't gonna say,, go get KD. Go get KD. They not gonna tell.
It might be easier for them to get KD then though.
But I'm saying they ain't gonna say Pacers
go get nobody.
Pacers in a perfect spot bro.
They can't lose no matter what.
They don't need nobody.
They gonna be like, what do the Pacers need to get better?
They just gotta continue to grow as a team.
Yeah.
Yes.
That sucks.
They're right there.
They made it to easy conference finals, championship team. I love it. For sure. They're right there. They're right there. They made to easy college finals championship team.
I love it.
For sure.
They are not gonna say next step they knew
in the championship next year.
If he goes to South Africa.
That is not what they gonna say.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's for later.
Thunder, they gonna pick them apart
with all those accolades that everybody got this year.
I mean, since we're here, do y'all think
that'll really hurt they team if they lose though?
Like they?
Yes, bro.
We gonna do like the Knicks, bro.
They gonna start picking them apart. They not gonna fire the coach or we gonna do like the Knicks bro. Start picking them apart.
They not gonna fire the coach or nothing
but they definitely gonna.
Start picking them apart.
We need another piece they gonna.
J.Lo Williams ain't what we thought.
They gonna do all that.
Like you said bro, it's a copycat league.
When we win this shit, they gonna be like,
okay, you don't need a whole bunch of stars.
You need one person to run your offense
and one person to run your team
and everybody else just be available to play.
If we got death, then we can win.
It literally is a copycat league, bro.
For sure.
Literally.
When you start talking about trading
the whole Knicks roster,
when you just made the Eastern Conference final,
because the way Indiana played, it was like-
Became the champions from last year, bro.
Insane. True.
But you know why Indiana make teams look bad?
Because if you go look at they payroll,
you'd be like, they ain't paying nobody shit, paying nobody shit really can't I shouldn't say shit because I mean they all making really good money
other seems like you see my code bridges compared to
Andrew Mimhar compared to
Neesmith and he getting the same production basically in the game
You would be like what the hell like I think Neesmith may be making 11, 12 million.
Bridges do what Neesmith did that one game
when he hit five threes in a row.
But is anybody up for a contract with the Pacers?
Miles.
Miles, that's it.
Everybody else is like that.
You gotta get Miles that chicken.
Yeah.
Ownership said, they said,
we're going to the tax haven for this thing.
He's getting paid.
Miles gonna get paid.
They made it to the finals.
Cause they'll keep the team together.
Cause I know they were talking about possibly
maybe having to move Oby to pay Miles
or making another move.
I don't know what we're gonna do with Benedict Mathering.
I don't know if he's getting extension or not.
I don't know if they are wanting to move on with him.
Let him go flourish.
I don't know what Rick on,
but that's really what it boils down to.
One person we really gotta play is Miles.
I do not wanna let him go.
You know who they are.
I don't either.
You know if they gotta let somebody stand or the tax,
the only person that they really could let go
is like TJ McConnell, even though he's like,
he's Indiana through and through.
He's like an Indian, like he's probably gonna,
when they do the players come back
and how they go crazy for land,
TJ McConnell's gonna be there.
He gonna work for the players.
Yeah, he gonna work for the players.
I can see TJ McConnell being the basketball Pat McAfee.
Yeah, for sure. I can see him going that route. Cause TJ chill, but he got a lot of personality too. I can see TJ McConnell being the basketball Pat McAfee. Yeah, for sure.
I can see him going that route.
Cause TJ chill, but he got a lot of personality too.
I can see him doing that.
Yeah, but he gonna work for the Pacers forever.
Come on, we 22nd in the league in payroll.
Yeah.
Your Hawks pay way more money than us and players.
Where my Hawks at?
Let me see who we 21.
21.
Brooklyn, ooh, they paying some chicken over there.
Toronto, Borde.
I don't know why we paying so many people. We ain't got no place. I ain't pass a chicken over there. Yeah, I told boy day. Oh, no, why we pass on me
Up there look at all the players in that team bro, paying all that money tray in the bag, right? Oh tray. Yeah
Murphy. Oh, yeah, yeah tray Murphy de jante Murray
Zion they had to pay off half of Brandon Ingram's contract cuz he got traded late in the season CJ
All this money we got some game
What New York pay what were they at
When that was a payroll, you see
New York or yeah, so imagine losing to you being the fourth pay it lose to the 22nd Okay, see 25 That makes me reconsider moving. We break shit down on this show, y'all. Y'all can't just know it.
OKC 25.
OKC 25.
But they got OKC 25.
They got so many young players, though.
It's going to change a little bit when Jalen Williams and
Chick get paid.
So it'll change.
But obviously, they're making it this far with a 25th payroll.
It's amazing.
For New York to lose to you guys in a 22nd, like, they making it this far with the 25th payroll. It's amazing. For New York to lose to you guys in the 22nd,
they probably like, yeah, we gotta get dumber.
Milwaukee is for sure shitty.
At six, we be honest, it's a payroll.
Yeah, you gotta dumb the team down.
Milwaukee, you gotta dumb the team down.
It's too much money being paid.
You gotta let Brook Lopez go.
Gotta let Bobby Porter go. Yeah. And the Cl down, it's too much money being paid. You gotta let Brook Lopez go. God let Bobby Porter go.
Yeah.
And the Clippers, my Lord.
Yeah, Clippers.
Y'all know who over there though.
Yeah, it ain't money, ain't a thing.
Barbers don't care about none of that.
Barbers go number one if he could.
Money ain't a thing.
They have Kwaggy and 50, legend.
Yeah.
I'm a Kwaggy.
Peezy, run it up. And he up for a new bag. Yeah. I'm a corner. He's a PZ, run it up.
And he up for a new bag.
Yeah, love that for old school.
Boy, that is crazy, man.
Like you said, if it's the basketball,
it's more important than anything.
That's a fact.
But while we here though, that 2012 team,
you know what I'm saying?
Last time OKC went to the finals, only time.
Rather, I know this is probably your obvious answer, but stack these two teams up who getting dub
Who?
2012 and his team
I mean, I'll see people play with this conversation, but it is a close is a quick one, bro. Okay see 2012 is too much
Yes but it is a quick one bro. OKC 2012 is too much bro. Yeah that's a, that's a.
They lost to LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bocci.
Yeah that's a crazy team bro.
They're too much.
When Sergi Baca was good.
You thought Sergi Baca was different.
Yeah he was.
Yeah but I'm saying though, James Harden,
yeah it's too much.
Yeah that team is one of the greatest.
That's weak now.
That's one of the greatest. That might scare them. That's's too much. That's one of the greatest teams ever assembled.
They just ran in the brown.
They just ran in the brown, bro.
They ain't gotta cheat.
And it was assembled organically.
It was through the draft.
All these players were drafted there.
That's the greatest draft, what was it,
four years in a row?
Three years in a row?
Three, four years, yeah.
That's the best three
years ever in a draft process hey still traffic to the KD then an extra they got
rust and they got James and Serge he did that with a whole different vibe though
like this is a whole different team then now yeah so he relocated a team and then got in cracking. They are not supersonics.
Nah, he did it again.
You already did it.
He's a different roster though.
He did it again.
Got a damn San Pres, y'all did it again.
It's hard to ring, bro.
Is that the best three draft picks back to back to back?
Anybody ever done anything better?
Nah, not due to their career.
I mean, that's the best I've ever.
I know it's consecutive, what? KD was KD. Oh, KD. Oh, KD, oh, eight, oh, nine. to their career. I mean, that's the best I've ever seen.
Are those consecutive?
KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD?
Oh, KD? Oh, KD? Oh, KD? Oh, KD? Oh, KD? That's crazy Who Danny ain't he ain't never drafted three and then he ain't actually made bad draft picks
He made my job. He made great. We talked about a draft
Danny and a great trade is a great finesse or shots and son get that job. Actually. He only made one great trade
Like to like him to be true
Thomas and he traded KG and
That's two two fair ones. Yeah, but that's put a better up He traded for Isaiah Thomas and he traded KG and Ray Allen.
That's two fair ones.
Yeah, but that's, they put a better up.
That was a great trade.
That's a good trade, but other than that,
and then he finessed Brooklyn out of all them picks.
Thanks.
Brooklyn was trippin'.
Yeah.
Wildin' bro.
They are a piece of shit.
I get KG and Paul Pierce and them cool.
They are 100 years old.
They are 145.
You can definitely have them right now.
The funny part about it is you was on that roster when all this...
Oldest dirt boy.
Shit, we about to win shit.
Get a ball to Joe.
That's crazy because that was the offense.
Because I see a person talk to be crazy the other day talking about it.
You said y'all beat Brooklyn when Joe was there.

That was really it.
Let me say that Warriors team.
Brown, I mean, Brown and them in Miami was a good team,
but I mean, I don't think that really annoyed me.
It was like fun competing against them,

I'm a hit. Is that the undercarter on this fight? Nah, it's two different joints. So who y'all gonna watch?
He gotta whoop him. He gotta whoop him. If you ask me what fight I'm gonna watch, I'm going to watch
Durante Davis. You're gonna be watching Tane Davis and Roach versus instead of Tim Fimo Lopez and um Haney?
Yeah, that's a tough decision. Haney boring a little bit.
Haney is boring.
Yeah, Haney is boring.
And his first fight was really good.
So I'm really looking forward to the rematch.
But it was very interesting.
Very interesting that the Turkish dude put that fight.
He putting it on for Haney and then he put it on the same day
as Yvontay Tane Davis in that fight.
So very interesting.
Try to see who the bigger fighters is.
Very interesting.
Yeah, he gonna make the fans make a decision.
Somebody gonna be upset by how it goes,
but it should be two good fights for sure.

Nah, I'm gonna say it to him, Duncan is weird.
I'm saying you gotta be weird at Wake Forest.
Like you gotta do, you can't be me.
You can't act like me.
Yeah.
Cause I just tell the truth.
I'm like, I can't help it y'all ain't, hey.
I don't think you really said nothing.
I don't say nothing bad about what I've heard.
I just said.
I think they'll fuck with you if you wanted them to for real.
Yeah, but I can't, I don't know nobody at that school
so you can't go up there and be like, yo, you remember me?
That's how I feel at Kentucky right now.
Yeah.
The Cal is gone.
Everything's different now.
Yeah, you can't just walk up there and.
Nah.
Like one of my guys, Coach Muse, is back on the staff.
I'm not sure if he's an assistant coach or what he does.
But he always hit me up and just talk ball and shit.
But it's just different.
That's what I'm saying.
Come on, Wake, make it right.
Tap in, we can get it right.
I was over Wake the year I left, somebody wore zero.
I'm like, nigga, I just made All American.
Damn, what I gotta do around this motherfucker?
And when I got there, you couldn't even,
bro, you couldn't even get number one
when I first got there, and that was Justin Gray.
That was his number, and no offense to Jay Gray,
I like Jay Gray, he a good dude, and he a college coach,
but I was just like, damn, we can't even get number one?
Yeah, I get it.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Like, I can't get number one?
They like, nah, that's Justin Gray get number one? Nah, I get it. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, I can't get number one? They like, nah, that's Justin Graff.
He hold grudges too, so.
Yeah.
But that's like, it seemed like it's order though.
Shit, if I came and I was just a fuckin' all American,
treat the same motherfucker the next motherfucker like me.
Yeah, yeah.
You can't touch this.
Nah, yeah.
I know it might be different regimes and cultures and stuff,
but still, you know what I'm saying?
No, respect, respect, though.
You can wear it, I don't care.
It's a number, who cares?
Come on, wait, tap in, let's make it right for sure.
R.I.T. Cose and the Super Chess said,
Jeff, you got a pocket percent, AC better than Zo.
I ain't say he was better.
Bulls were number one in the East before Zo got hurt.
They barely make it playing with AC.
All love, though, LOL.
I don't know when the Bulls were number one in the East,
but that might be like the second game of the season.
They were.
It was hooping, bro.
It was like 10 games in. It was quick, but they were hooping. But I ain't say when the Bulls were number one in the East, but that may be like the second game of the season. It was hooping, bro. It was like 10 games in.
It was quick, but they were hooping.
But I didn't say he was better.
So they do the same thing.
Y'all gotta listen.
That's why you got two ears and one mouth.
God, listen.
Fuck, this nigga wanna be 75 so bad.
I'm just telling you, bro.
Y'all gotta listen.
I never said he was better.
For sure. All right, Ray gotta listen. I never said he was better. For sure.
All right, Ray Ray in the Super Chat said,
Oh city or no city?
Okay, so Indy played the same,
but when two teams are alike,
the one's a better scorer's gonna win.
We got bucket gets for real, Indy IDK.
I'm not too sure about that.
You have one bucket getter for sure,
that's in SGA and Jalen Williams is solid,
but Pascal Siakam scores better than Jalen Williams.
Now Tyrese isn't the biggest scorer,
but he generates enough offense to help counter SGA.
So we'll see.
It's gonna be a good series.
It's gonna be a good series, man.
I hate when people do all this.
Who can score?
Man, Jalen Brunson just was averaging 30, man.
And a loss.
A loss, bro.
Yeah, bro, I've seen two people get 80 and they lost, bro.
Nothing else scares me.
Yeah, bro, it's gonna be a good series.
Now the thing that's gonna be the real kicker
is the defense.
Can the Pacers defense hold up like it's been holding up?
That's what scares me about OKC though.
Cause they defense travels.
All the time.
They jump shit.
And if somebody happened to have a bad night,
somebody's gonna come off the bench
and play crack head defense for 15 minutes,
hit a couple threes and change the game.
Yeah, you'll have a kid like Wiggins come in
and just kind of change the momentum of the game.
He got that kind of capability.
But like, that's the biggest thing.
It's gonna be the defensive end offense.
Like, obviously we know they can score,
SGA gonna get 30, but can they make it tough
for everybody else?
And the Pacers weren't known for defense, but this postseason,
they've been a really good defensive team.
Yeah, I'm very interested to see the matchups.
We try to throw it SGA for sure.
All right, Robbie Robbins, Super Chat.
Morning, y'all.
Big fan of the show.
Sad that NBA OTNT is over, but we still got ESPN.
Turn up.
What player had the saddest farewell tour?
Tony Parker and Charlotte, Shaq in Boston,
or Paul Pierce in Brooklyn.
Paul Pierce played in the Clippers, my boy.
It's farewell.
Paul Pierce's farewell is more memorable
all because of Draymond Green.
Most definitely.
Shaq in Boston is nasty, bro.
Shaq really didn't even cook like that.
I don't know, bro.
I'm gonna say Paul Pierce just because it's more notable. Tony Parker in Charlotte is nasty. Yeah, Shag really didn't even cook like that. I don't know bro. I'm gonna say Paul Pierce
just because it's more notable. Tony Parker in Charlotte is nasty. I remember that too. That's
the nasty part. I don't even remember him in Charlotte. He got paid a little good too to go there.
Why was you ever on that team though? That's the perfect city for him. Very on brand. For sure.
Especially at that time period man. We gotta do some research there. Sure. Shout out to Raleigh.
Jones Bones in Super Chat says 20 to KG. The Alpha do some research there. Sure. Shout out to Raleigh. Jones Bones and SuperShad said,
20 to KG, the Alpha community,
riding for life, markets a real Calvary,
Cambridge, ODAS team.

I'm a good
I the pro boxer or ride a bull, pause. I'ma get in the room, bro. I'd rather take a punch in the face, bro,
before I do that, that's wild.
Bro, falling off a bull and it's dumping on you, bro.
I'm straight, bro, I'm cool, bro.
I think they talking about the mechanical one, y'all.
Oh, oh.
You thought you was gonna get on a real one?
Yeah, I thought he was talking about
riding a real bull, pause.
What?
He talking about a mechanical bull, y'all.
Either way, that's tough.
Shout out to you.
Christopher Smith in the Super Chat.
I just watched Mook at the Hope and German.
He said he'd rather get punched in the face by Tyson
than get on a mechanical bull.
Oh, nah, no.
Wait till y'all watch the episode of Club 520
to drop today at 2 p.m.
when we talk about people of the chemical bulls pause
I really ride a mechanical bull then
About Mike Tyson. I just
Hey yo. What he on about today bro?
I'll be just shooting out to participate.
Christopher Smith in Super Trash,
I just watched Muk at Oakman Gym.
Hey Kave, you got that windmill with my dog.
My knee was hurting man.
He said he ain't got it.
He said get my boy 10 days bro, he got y'all.
Alright, Cruzan 340, the Super Trash said Tank
is supposed to fight Haney, but Tank said that
Turk took it was Haney's fight,
so he would have to knock out Haney to win.
He didn't take the fight.
So basically Tank didn't want to fight Haney
because they said it was a setup.
Basically.
Respect.
Okay, shout to you.
Travis B and the Super Track say,
Yo, what's good?
520, y'all didn't mention how it's hard
to make a professional in track and basketball gotta be top five in the US
to make it to the Olympics.
Yeah, track and field is no joke.
You gotta be literally top tier.
All professional athletes are in the top percentile
of what they do, so respect to everybody.
Yeah, track and field is a tough sport.
I don't know why people do it.
No shade.
You're a professional athlete, but you
only really get to be professional for you know, like
where it really, really, really matter. Once every four years.
Yeah, like I know they do other races throughout the years and
stuff like that, but just not really televised. It ain't
really, you know, I mean, it's like, yeah, four years. And if
you don't, let's just have you roll.
Man, what matters is you just pull your hamstring.
That'd be happening to people.
Two weeks before.
But I couldn't be a track and field athlete.
Shout out to them.
You wasted all this time.
My personality ain't very crazy.
Man, you'll be mentally fucked up.
And your window is so small, like you said,
you're lucky if you could be code for two Olympics,
let alone one.
Nah, that's a mental test.
So the things that Michael Phelps and them were doing
is crazy, unbelievable.
World championships, Olympics, all that stuff.
Respect, man.
Shouts to the athletes for sure.
Invite to the cookout series, to the Hornets,
hire Tibbs and get some structure around the young talent.
They out there playing YMCA ball.
Do not stress, Tibbs out here, 67,
he does not need a heart attack.
Yeah, Tibbs.
Ah, man, come on, man.
Yeah, LaMelo, send my boy up out of here.
All right man, before the chat gonna keep going all day,
we got something else man.
God damn.
All right man, finals.
Game one tonight, be here.
Why, why you asking me a question?
I told you.
OKC by 20 bro.
I ain't even finished my question, but go crazy, kid.
It's your time to talk for sure.
All right, well go ahead, if you got some more.
No, I'm just saying, what your team gotta do to win tonight?
But you said it's belt to ass anyway, huh?
I think for real, we've been preparing for this moment, bro.
We're gonna send the toll tonight, man.
You know what I'm saying?
So yeah, it's going down, 20 point victory.
Hopefully, I think I gonna win
when y'all come back here though.
I do.
If y'all win by 20 tonight,
that's gonna send a crazy message.
You know what I mean, bro.
It is, bro.
Game three, I think Precious win.
Game one, y'all win by 20, bro.
That might scare us a little bit.
I don't like that.
I thought it was gonna be a dog fight tonight.
You think it's gonna be a battle tonight?
Yeah.
It's gonna be too lit in there.
All right.
All right, I'm gonna ask both y'all this
Alright Jeff, okay. See you eight and one at home the postseason built to ask usually to average margin to victory 25
What does okay see you have to do tonight to get a W and what they been doing?
The building gonna be electric. I told you the other day how it feels to be in the finals
And I'm not trying to be funny or nothing but if
Yeah it's different bro.
Like the energy, the fans, it's like the anticipation
of everything's a little different.
Every shot matter, the crowd go crazy on everything.
So it's gonna be a different energy in the building.
And they gonna feed off that energy, they gonna play well.
I imagine somebody off the bench gonna have a big night.
I don't know who, but one of their guys gonna come in
and the energy gonna shift.
Cause I think the Pacers gonna,
this is how I feel like the game is gonna start.
The Pacers gonna start off competing, it's gonna go well.
They gonna make a sub and then OKC
gonna just take off a little bit.
Okay, so yeah.
I do think OKC gonna win tonight though.
Okay.
Game one at the crib.
Like you said, I like the Pacers game one at the crib too.
I do, I really do.
So you see the second unit taking over the game.
Mo, for the Pacers to get a dub, not in the OKC,
what we gotta do?
Damn, definitely gonna have to make some shots, bro.
They gonna be plugging in the gaps
and the help and all that.
We gonna have to hit some threes.
Role players, Nemhar gonna have to come and play, bro.
And I feel like we gonna need Mathur in the step up, bro.
Rick gonna have to let him play, bro.
He gonna be huge for us, bro.
At least give him 20 minutes.
Miles Turner's gonna have to make shots.
I was just about to say, I think Miles Turner and Nim Hart,
I mean, obviously outside of superstars,
are our keys to win because we saw Isaiah Hardstein
last year and that pace kind of messed him up.
He has to hit those threes, bro,
to keep the floor space.
We have to have that.
Because if not, we already had problems with rebound,
and we still have it.
We showed up some games,
but Isaiah Hartstein murdered us on rebounds last year.
And then you got Chet out there,
who could definitely crash the boards.
Lou Dort, they got guards like Jalen Williams,
who crashed the board.
Even SGA go get a couple too.
They don't slack in that department,
so we got to bring that energy for sure.
Yeah, but miles got to make,
you got to make shots because the way they help,
they help defenses.
They over help, which could be.
That's how you beat them.
You have to make, you got to make shots
because they all over help.
So Nimhart, Neesmith, Miles Turner, they have to make shots
and Tyrese Halliburton got to live in the paint.
No, God.
He got to live in the paint.
It can't be one of them games where, you know,
how you sometimes want to fill out the game
and you'd be like, dang dang Tyrese not here tonight.
But I know what TJ McConnell gonna do,
he gonna live in that paint.
So it could be a big game for TJ too.
Most definitely, one thing I liked about Tyrese,
even though he was kind of reserving me
for the second half and especially the fourth quarter,
he stopped settling or he just stopped hesitating
and making passes, them teardrops, them floaters
in the paint, like you said, living the paint,
that free throw lawn shot,
that make a world of a difference for us.
And them shots be available and we need all that we can get
because OKC's defense is crazy for sure, man.

They was the same team as last year.
I said they were playing bad at the beginning of the year.
He turned that team up bro.
Without that team, without him that team is terrible.
But I've seen them who, I've seen last year when them hard was the best player
He was a best man, but he held it down for sure
No, I was the name hard guy name hard guy paid 54 million because he was killing and he was a second-round player
He was carrying what he was carrying he was carrying
I also was carrying last so so tie zones get Memphis cracking with job when they're and they were still in the game
So I can't say that
They was they're good

First round finals De'Aaron Fox got Whibby next year if they don't go to the finals all win here shit, bro

He got them old friends out there hooping, bro.
And everybody I name is the best player on their team.

That's cool I'm at that site but y'all gotta chill something like so he better than DeMora DeRosa
Here better he a better basketball player than Demar DeRoz.
Not one on one.
You gotta watch him.
He like to use the words.
He like to use the words to hedge that question.
Cause y'all making my point.
All right, this is how it's gonna sound dramatic.
Y'all making my point.
Just cause you a better basketball player.
Like you do things well to make your team win.
Don't mean you a better basketball player than somebody.
You can be a complimentary player,
you can do stuff that helps do winning shit.
He does winning shit, Caruso does winning shit.
Y'all just told me Lonzo Ball
is 10 times better than him, right?
Lonzo do winning shit at a high level.
That's my whole point.
So Tyrese Halliburton just a max deal Lonzo Ball.
That's fine.
Right, maybe.
That's a good ass player, bro.
I don't think, that is, but I don't think,
I don't think Lonzo Ball is better than DeMar DeRozan.
I don't think.
At no point in his life.
I get where you're going.
They more talented people,
but if I'm rolling the ball out for my team to win games,
I need Tyrese Helleberg.
He's a winner, bro.
He gonna pick a league at a high ass level.
I don't think you picking up Tyrese Helleberg
over DeMar DeRozan.
Man, he don't know how Marcus A.P.
We're open gym. DeMar DeRozan and Tyrese Halliburton over DeMarr DeRosa. I'm a GM, we open gym.
I'm like DeMarr DeRosa and Tyrese Halliburton
standing right there and they're like, who you got?
Moog gonna say, come on, Debo.
He gonna say, come on, Debo.
That's what I'm saying, he a better hooper.
But if I'm picking, I'm putting together a team,
I'm like, all right.
DeMarr DeRosa used to win 50 games in Toronto.
Yeah. For sure.
I want y'all niggas, I'm not gonna be forgetting what these niggas were saying. I get what he's saying, if I'm the best sc right. Demarne Rosa used to win 50 games in Toronto. Yeah. For sure.
He won the contest.
But I'll be forgetting what these niggas were doing.
I get what he's saying about the best scores of all time.
As a coach, when you put together a team,
you want somebody that's gonna be able to
get the whole team together and everybody gonna like them.
And everybody gonna be together.
I need a point guard that can just run everything.
You gotta put certain pieces around Tyrese.
That's how you gotta do it.
You can't just go throw Tyrese.
He's not just doing that, bro.
He was out there in Sacramento looking ass, too.
This nigga was in Charlotte.
You were playing shooting guard, bro.
That's my whole point.
He was in Sacramento looking ass.
Everybody was in Sacramento looking ass.
That's my whole point.
Put Tyrese in Philadelphia, bro.
They sad.
What?
You put Tyrese in the sixes?
They lit as hell.
No.
They sad, bro.
They lit.
That is going to be weak, bro.
They not going in no game. They going to be sad, bro. They would have lost just as many games this said. They said bro. They lit. They gonna be weak bro. They not going no game.
They gonna be sad bro.
They would have lost just as many games as you.
Yeah they lost.
You keep saying, no I'm just talking about
with the roster that he had to play with.
They had it fucking horrible.
No I'm saying though,
y'all acting like he changes every franchise in the NBA.
He's only been to one.
No I'm saying if you just rolling a ball out.
Listen bro, y'all said this nigga's better
than De'Aaron Fox bro.
Yes bro. That's not the correct, you saying that like that's just insane. It is, y'all listen bro. Y'all said this nigga's better than De'Aaron Fox, bro. Yes, bro.
That's not the crack, you saying that like,
that's just insane.
It is.
Eastern Conference Finals, final.
They are close to each other, bro.
He took his team to the finals, bro.
He's not gonna take every team out east far.
Not every team.
You put Tyrese on any team out east,
you not gonna make it, he's not gonna guarantee the playoffs.
He's not gonna play on James, bro.
I'm not saying that.
That's how y'all acting.
But I'm saying, so thanks to who we comparing him to,
he's showing more success being a, I mean, he's a good point guard. He's like Jason Kidd. He's showing you're acting. But I'm saying, to who we comparing him to, he's showing more success being a...
I mean, he's a good point guard.
He's like Jason Kidd.
He's like Jason Kidd, bro.
And Jason Kidd is a Hall of Famer.
We're not saying Tyrese probably going to be a Hall of Famer.
I see why they gave Ciacomo the MVP.
Yeah, like...
You can't just put him on any team now.
I ain't saying that.
Yeah, that's what anybody would.
You can put De'Aaron Fox on any team and he going to be just as productive.
He going to do the same exact shit.
I'm talking about winning.
You can't put De'Aaron Fox on...
Tyrese go missing sometimes.
But he be there all the time.
He's going to be there all the time.
He's going to be there all the time. He's going to be there all the time. He's going to be there all the time. He's going to be gonna be just as productive. He gonna be do the same exact shit. Tyrese gonna be productive.
I'm talking about winning.
You can't put the Aaron Fox on.
Tyrese go missing sometimes.
But he be there a lot of times.
He has his 18 and 10, bro.
All right, bro.
We gotta move on from this,
but hey, that's a hell of a conversation.
I'm just saying, bro.
Some of the players are like, we just watch.
At top 30, I think Brody was wild.
Yeah, no, I'm saying, but you gotta think like.
I put him a lot.
Yeah.
Top 30, he got his 24 All-Stars. Right? He's one of them. Yeah, he's I'm saying but you gotta think like I put him a lot. Yeah It's 24 all-stars
Not this year, okay, so it's 24 all-stars
I'm saying he's next six best he all NBA though. So if he on be a my eyes, he gotta be top of 10
Yeah, but that's a you gotta have a good team to be all NBA. I'm saying it's some sad
It's some niggas down there that sat on some sad teams.
Like, if I'm just hooping, I'm taking CJ McCullum
before I take Tyrese Halliburton.
If I'm just hooping.
I get what you're saying.
I am too.
I'm not saying.
Yeah, I'm just hooping.
He's a better, more talented.
And if you get Tyrese at Pelicans roster
with all the people we just named, bro,
they're hoping.
I'm not judging that like that.
They're still gonna be bad.
You get Tyrese in Zion a pick and roll with BI.
I'm not judging them.
Is Tyrese better than K. Cuddy?
Right now, yeah.
If you line them up, just play one on one, no.
No, but I'm not judging it like that though.
I am.
That's what he going with it.
I am.
Like De'Aaron Fox, if they play one on one, yeah.
Give me De'Aaron Fox.
It's Torch.
But when it's time to go to the finals,
give me Tyrese. But basketball is a five on five game.
So I get what y'all saying.
They be saying that about Bron.
So he better, if you starting a game, you taking Pablo, you taking him over P5.
Pablo Bencaro or Tyrus?
We get energy.
We gotta go, Mike.
I really, nah, I really don't.
Okay, so these is people y'all not thinking in the top 24.
Pablo Bencaro.
I really like him, bro.
I'm just saying, but he's not thinking about him.
Pablo Bencaro is way better than Tyrus.
I didn't say, I didn't say Pablo Bencaro.
I said Pablo Bencaro.
I said Pablo Bencaro.
I said Pablo Bencaro.
I said Pablo Bencaro. I said Pablo Bencaro. I said Pablo Bencaro top 20. Pablo Macarons. I really like him, bro.

A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives
in small ways.
Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding but the

Business Week. I'm Max Chafkin and I'm Stacey Vanek Smith. Every Friday we will
be diving into the biggest stories in business taking a look at what's going
on, why it matters and how it shows up in our everyday lives.
But guests like Businessweek editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer
spending expert Amanda Mull will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms, even
the signal chats that make our economy tick.

But he just, I'm saying when I'm talking about Hooping,
I'm saying you throw somebody out there
and you just be like, hey Hoop, you not gonna say him,
he's not gonna be the first one.
I'm gonna be honest, I'm not.
But that's not how I'm judging him.
For sure.
All right, Kiddum Jones and SuperShet said,
do y'all think if the Lakers kept the court up,
Zo, B.I. Julius, Wernkool, Zubak, and Caruso,
they would have made a D play out front or win it all.
Nah. Nah.
That's what I'm saying.
It's all scenarios, bro.
Like all them dudes right there.
Can hoop.
They all can hoop, but they all was trying to get money.
Like that's why Tyrese's team is perfect.
Cause he was put in a situation where everybody had to adapt to him.
I'm the money.
Everybody else, the way y'all gonna get money
is if y'all adapt to me.
Shade too.
Yeah, but if he would've went to a team
where it's a bunch of dudes that already got the money.
Oh yeah, they don't give a fuck.
Yeah, they wouldn't adapt to him.
He might've looked different.
He's gonna look different.
If PG was still on this team with Tyrese Halliburton,
if PG was still PG, Tyrese Halliburton would have been me.
Like, get the ball to him.
Like, you gotta do this, you gotta do that.
But they built a team where it was around him.
Like, are we gonna find a piece that fit him?
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, that's what happened when you the guy.
Yeah, but he got to a team where it was like,
like if Lonzo would have went to the Lakers
and they didn't have Kobe and all them dudes
and they was like, we're going to build a team around Zo.
He probably been to Rizalabra if he didn't get hurt.
But he went there, they got Julius Randall,
B.I., all them dudes like you just said.
And it's like, hey, I was here first.
Nigga, you going to have to adjust to us.
Then it got bra. Yeah, you know what I mean? So it's like, he was here first nigga. You gonna have to adjust to us then I got bra. Yeah, you know I mean so it's like
He was blessed at Indiana went through what they went through and had to trade and do all that stuff
That's fair and he got to put the team around him like once the outcome came they like he gonna run the lane
He gonna look perfect with Tyrese Halliburton, but if they would have traded for Jalen Brown
It would have been like yeah, what the fuck is you doing? Bring that bitch over here? You know I'm saying mm-hmm
Shit might look a little different
They the new wave because they had to get you got to get a team that everybody actually like each other
Yeah, that's true, and that's not normal in the NBA
It's usually like the complete opposite. Nobody like each other.
Gotta lock in for sure.
That's why a lot of teams, a lot of players
that you think be like, damn why he ain't,
cause they teammates don't like him.
Or they don't, they hating on him a little bit.
They don't got that in the past.
For sure.
All right man, let's get through the super chat
before we get out of here.
Hey one dig said 55, gotta be a sorry as Celtic jersey ever. Shout out to Jeff Bad Take Tig though. All right, man, let's get through the super chat before we get out of here. A1Dig said, 55, gotta be the sorriest Celtic jersey ever.

Italian Twine Watch Company said,
Holly is the menace the finals need.
What do you think the whistle is gonna be like
and which team benefits from, excuse me,
which team benefits most from a physical series?
The Pacers benefit.
Okay, see.
Think so?
Bro, Luke Dort about to foul,
he gonna foul Tyrese Halliburton so much bro.
Like he gonna be so physical with him.
He a fucking bowling ball.
And we gonna be able to touch SGA bro. well that's why I say if they let it be
physical then I think we benefit cuz then we get some of those touch fouls
that normally would be caught at SGA but you know his whistle is about to be
phenomenal but if y'all may if they let them play this goes this is perfectly
fit for okay see that mean Lou Dorr get the fucking touch Halliburton pause the whole game and get physical.
They be hurting boys.
Yeah, but they do.
Yeah, they do.
And Caruso too, he get the, you know what I'm saying,
get the push people in the post,
he gonna take full advantage.
All right, man, Jordan Superset said,
do y'all watch UFC side note, take thunder under,
oh, move, taking that 9.5, is that good money?
No. No.
He said not use a deputy promo on that.
That is too high of a risk.
It is.
All right.

EMD said, this is the most pressure of the Mubba Convo
y'all have had, putting highly higher than top 30.
It's the easiest way to lose credibility.
Talk about basketball, shout out to Jeffer,
having since EMD, fuck you, he is in the finals.
So you can't say that, lose credibility,
when they took their team to the finals.
That doesn't make sense.
But like, individual basketball player,
I'm gonna let it move on,
but like individual basketball player, that's crazy.
He's in the finals, tell them how the niggas get there.

Always do that, system boy.
Always do 40 and lose.
Did Donovan have Utah in them playoffs?
Yes, bro.
He had Utah in them playoffs every year, bro,
but he always loses.
That's the second round.
So Tracy McGrady, what were the top players that he lost?
He was, but he is slandered because he didn't fucking win.
Bro, you can't help with you.
That's the first round.
Some people gotta be.
But if you just pull him though, bro,
and that's all bro, saying, and a drag.
We acknowledge that conversation.
Put a team around him.
Put a team around him.
Any team, y'all going off what they did in their career,
put a team around them.
