Ocho crack. Oh, Ocho. Bam, historic 83.9 against the wizard last night, presented fans
with a choice of force of side. Look, you had to pick a side. You celebrate it or you audit it.
Many are discrediting it because the opponent, the Wizards, are the second worst in the East.
Others are discrediting it because the heat had filed late in the fourth quarter.
to help extend the game.
Kobe took 46 shots in his legendary game,
three more than Bam,
and made 18 or 20 free throws.
Bam took 46 free throws to Kobe's 20.
Bam Pierce came to his defense.
Katie said, I looked at the stat sheet.
It was pretty crazy.
40 shots, 40 free throws, 23s.
But that takes a lot of stamina, man.
Huge accomplishment.
It will be something we talk about forever.
Yon says, it doesn't matter how you got there.
All that matters is that you got it.
Look, like in 10, 20, 30 years from now,
no one's going to remember how many free throws he shot.
I don't think anyone would remember how many shots.
Kobe shot or how many three throws or he made or how many threes.
All you remember is 83.
Toronto Raptors record, when Kobe broke his record,
they were 14 and 26 at the time on January the 22nd, 2006.
The 12th worst in the east,
fourth worst.
There was 12th in the east, 14th or fourth worst in the east.
fourth worst in the east.
So what you're thinking, Ocho?
Because a lot of people moving on it.
Everybody talking about, man, out of respect for Kobe,
he should have stopped it for 81.
Y'all know, the way y'all talk about Kobe,
is that what Kobe was?
You know what?
I'm glad you just say that.
The first thing, the first thing when I watched Twitter,
when I seen some of the stuff on Instagram,
is if Kobe was here,
Kobe would congratulate him.
Kobe would be happy for him.
And all the people taking up for Kobe
are doing exactly what he wouldn't do.
So I understand.
We are Kobe fans.
We love him.
The fact that they had 81 point game,
but only three people have scored 80 points.
Wilk Kobe and Bam.
And Kobe would have been happy for him.
We know how he is.
He celebrated everybody,
especially when they hit a milestone of this magnitude.
In regards to how you got it,
it's still 83 points.
It's still 83 points.
And some people,
and this is one of the few times I don't understand,
why don't we celebrate things?
like this. I'm not.
Kobe fans are unbearable.
That too. I'm not much of a basketball fan.
That's not the record. When Kobe scored 81,
the record is 100.
So somebody needs to score 100 and 1
or more points to have the record.
81 is not the record.
I don't get it.
Oh, Joe, it's like anything.
Sometimes people break records and it takes some more games.
Like, when O.J. Simpson broke the record.
He broke the record in 14 games.
Eric Dixon broke the record in 16 games.
Somebody's going to come along if they break the record,
it's going to take 17 games.
So whatever record happens moving forward,
and this is what they try to do tomorrow.
They're like, well, he did it in 17 games.
It's the NFL record, sack record.
That is the record.
But this notion, and I saw when they announced it in the fan,
in the crib, they were booing.
Why?
Yeah.
Why?
I don't care if the, yes.
See, this, Kobe had a chance,
because there are games that Kobe had 60 plus
and he came out in the third quarter.
I like Spoh.
Spoh say the way he had it going,
I wouldn't even thinking about taking him out.
And I instructed the team,
let's see how many we can get him.
It happens.
Oh, Cho, you're having a good game?
The game T.O.
had.
That was on Jerry Rice's day.
20 catches.
Brandon Marshall, 21 catches.
Josh McDaniel says,
hey, we're going to lose this.
this game, but we're going to get you the record.
I don't have a problem
with it. God, come on, man. We got to stop this,
man. It's 83 F-in
points, and I get it, that
Bam is probably the unlikeliest guy.
If you thought somebody will get it, you say
Luca, you say Donovan Mitchell,
you say Dame Lillard, you
saying somebody like that, that's going to make
10, 12, 15 threes.
You're not thinking
no Bam out of bio.
I don't even think Bam is averaging
20 points. If you go back
look at the guys that got those kind of numbers.
All those guys at the high 20s, even 30s,
Lucas been in the 30s.
Dave, uh, uh, uh, Dave Lillard has average 30.
Kobe average 35.
So when you see, we'll average 50 in a game,
44 in a game, 38 in the game.
So if somebody like that,
I think it's because he's so unlikely to have done something like this.
He does, I mean, and you're looking at him,
he's not, he's never, I don't even know if he's,
ever scored 50 in a game. I don't even know if he's ever scored 40 in a game to go from
your high being something in the 30s to all the way to 80s? That is crazy.
Listen, it was dope to me. It was dope to see. I didn't, I didn't believe the stat line when I first
saw it. I thought it was AI, you know, when I saw the 80s. And then I saw go across the
ticker on ESP. And I was like, oh, man, that's dope. That's, that, that is dope. And I, I was happy.
I was hype. And then I go on Twitter.
I'm like, well, God damn, people writing think pieces and defending Colby.
Yes.
Oh, it don't get to say.
This 83 is different.
This 83 is different than Kobe's 81.
Kobe did, bro, it's 83, it's 80 points.
I mean, I think the thing is, Ocho,
is somebody that they got a career high of 75 yards
and all of a sudden they have a 300-yard game.
You're like, how do you get a 300-yard game?
The most you ever receiving yards you ever had in the game was 75.
And now you got 300?
you jump so you jump over 150, 200, 250 to go from 75 to 3.
And I think that's what it is because in the amount of free throws.
I think the most free throws somebody's ever shot in the game was probably, what, 38?
I think the white how we shot that many.
I mean, check me from, but 46 free throws.
And they was trying not to.
I mean, I saw clips and they got three people on him and they don't want him to get it.
Hey, it's crazy.
Y'all should have thought about that early before you let the man get 31 in the first quarter.
How about that then?
That's the time that you say, you know what?
You're a no more, bro.
You let the man get 36 in a quarter, I mean, 31 in the quarter.
Then you let him get another 12.
So he got 43.
Now you let him get another 19.
So now you're going to get in trouble.
And you let him get 21 in the 4.
I don't understand it.
I mean, it's as if, I mean, it's still basketball.
It's still the NBA.
It is.
And then, you know, they move the goalposts.
They moved the goalpost maybe because it's Bam.
Maybe if it's Anthony Edwards, maybe nobody would be complaining.
I guarantee, I bet your door knob to a bugger the common to Ocho,
had he, if LeBron had 81 and Bam broke that,
what you think the discourse would be on the internet?
How many people would be throwing a ticker tape parade?
That'd have been applauded.
You know that.
I know that.
That's like, smiling.
You know that, but because it was Kobe,
Kobe would have applauded this man.
Oh, hold on.
Y'all don't remember when Kobe dropped 55 on Jordan,
and he idolized Jordan.
How can he do his idol like that?
Because Kobe said he would want it no other way.
Kobe, I believe Kobe would have been pissed
had had a bam come out of the game with 80
or tied with him at 18.
No, hell no.
If I'm spoke, I'm leaving him in the game.
I'm going to see if he can get 90.
Absolutely.
I'm honestly going to see if he can get 90 points in the game.
The funny thing about it is all those that are Kobe fans,
they have a right to be Kobe fans, but they don't have Kobe's mentality.
They don't have their own.
They don't have mentality.
You know how he operates.
You know how he thinks.
And you know that he would actually wanted that.
Of course.
And look, I don't know how you feel, Locho.
But I know if I have a lot of you.
I got, let's just say the record is 339.
339 or 336, 336 by Flip.
Flip for the record.
Ocho, you mean to tell me I don't give a damn for some meaningless game?
Hey, hey, Shannon, you got 334.
What you want to do?
I want to go back, hey, let them score a touchdown and let me get back in there and get
337.
That's what you do.
Are you something?
Something needs to happen that I need to get back on the field and throw,
and let me get and let me break this record.
83 points, oh, Joe?
83?
I mean, I'm just thinking, I'm like, man.
And like KD saying, do you think about it, that man shot the ball 43 times.
And then he took another 43 free throw attempts.
He took 22, three point attempts.
Do you know how much stamina it takes?
to run up and down the court in this to shoot.
I tell you what, you think it's easy?
Just, hey, just get you a nice little job
and go shoot 80s and go shoot 86.
Oh, he's in good shape, nine.
And 22 of them in a couple of three.
And he's in good shape, nine.
Oh, he's in good shape.
That's what makes Deb Curry so spectacular.
Think about how much money he does
and then how many threes he get up.
Congratulations, bam.
I didn't think, I mean, look,
and like I said, because he's so unlikely.
If Dame Liller did that,
you wouldn't think anything else.
All right, Joe, this is going to be right up your alley.
He head coach Eric Sposter broke the people
criticized the Bam out of bio's historic 83-foint game.
Spos said, I'm not losing sleep over what people are saying.
What's ethical or not?
I would do it 10 times out of 10 again for Bam.
I'm apologizing to nobody about this.
I think most of the people that probably made comments,
they didn't watch the game.
That's irresponsible or unethical.
You don't even understand the context of the game.
Joe, take it away.
Man, look, I'm with Spoha.
Hey, man, apologize him for what?
Man, man, had 31 in the first quarter,
okay, Ocho.
Hey, look, you probably look up,
you're probably thinking yourself,
ooh, I got 31 in the first quarter.
Oh, we, I'm for sure going to get 50 at night.
Yes.
You know what?
I kind of got this thing going.
Then, you know, once you get to a certain point,
your teammates are going to start gravitating,
trying to help you out.
That's just part of it, bro.
You know what I mean?
And I think that's why it took such criticism because of how he got it,
meaning like how they were kind of basically force-feeding him.
But I'm cool with that.
Like, man, 83 points, bro.
Come on, okay, old Joe.
Yeah.
Hold on.
So they talk about, oh, the Wither's not any good.
They make it seem.
Man.
The Wizzles ain't been good all year.
The Wizzles ain't been good since they were the bullets.
So what was, what's new?
And the thing, like you said, Joe, he had 31.
in the first quarter, then he get another 12.
I got 43 at the half.
At worst case scenario, yo.
I'm getting 60.
Yeah, hold on.
Yeah, you're thinking 60.
You got...
Hold on.
Joe, Joe, I got...
I got 19 and third.
I got 62 now with 12 minutes to play.
I'm thinking about catching COVID record.
Thank you, Joe.
Thank you.
I'm thinking, hey, hey, I'm thinking now.
I'm thinking, shit, COVID had 81.
I got 62.
with 12 minutes.
Hey.
Boy,
and would a little help
from my teammates?
I'm out there like,
bam,
playing wide receiver.
They got three dudes guard.
Hey,
hey,
I ain't playing no defense.
All I do with is snowboard.
I'm chair picking.
Hey, get to the basket.
I'm taking it off.
Hey, throw it down there,
hit me one of hell of Mary's.
Hey,
think about it,
bro.
Like,
that's legendary because,
obviously,
you know,
we hadn't seen Will,
but we know Will got 100 points.
Yeah.
Man, can you.
after like Joe, not to cut you off, but people say, man, Will they score no hundred points.
After seeing Bam get 83, everybody said, yeah, Will got 100.
After they saw Bam get 83, because you got to realize, Bam's averaging 19, 20 points a game.
So you got 63 more points than what you average.
Bam, career high might be 40, 41, 42 points.
So now you've got 40 plus points more than your career high.
Yeah.
Will, yeah, I think,
a 78, a 73,
no,
he had a 71, a 72,
what I think the 72 came in 60,
61.
But Willed had like three 70-point games that year,
78, 100, a 73, and a 72.
So he had four 70-point games in one year.
That's crazy.
Man, listen, it's because, bam,
isn't what we would necessarily call the score,
but he got a nice package,
you got a nice bag, Uncle Ocho.
Hey, look, the man down there in Miami living right,
him and Asia, they big boo loving.
He's having a good time, man.
Hey, I'm happy for him, man.
You know, it's funny, Uncle Joe,
is those that actually play the game of basketball,
whether it's coaches, whether it's former players,
whether it's current players.
I mean, their reaction to it,
has not been very supportive, you know, if you've heard most of the comments.
And, I mean, I'm somewhat confused.
Obviously, 83 is 83, no matter how you splikes it, no matter how you try to move the goalpost,
no matter how you try to explain it, it's history.
I mean, just in the fact that I said it yesterday, Joe talking with Ang, and if Kobe was here,
Kobe would be the first one celebrating it.
Man, what?
We have all these Kobe fans that are mad that aren't even thinking like Kobe thinks.
Kobe celebrates a milestone like that.
Absolutely.
Not tripping off someone breaking a milestone.
It'd be a congratulations.
It's because he passed Kobe.
If he had passed any, if it was Joe Johnson,
if it was anybody else other than Kobe,
it would have got applauded.
Now, Joe, you was in the league
when Kobe shot 50 times, that last game.
Ain't nobody saying nothing.
50 shots.
No.
What are you friends with 60?
60.
50 shots.
Yeah.
Ain't nobody said nothing.
Boy, what a performance.
You see Kobe?
Yeah.
What were they doing?
What was his teammates doing, Joe?
Throwing him the ball.
No, they was.
Yeah, they was forced feeding.
They were forced feeding.
I want to pull up the, what's it called him.
Because I want to see something.
Because I want to see how many shots his teammate shot.
Because when somebody shoot 50 times, Joe, you might get what, 80, 85 shots in the game.
And you got 12 players playing.
And one guy shoot 50 times, how many of the other is?
get.
Hey, what I think, though, is the fact that everybody knew that was his last game, they
wanted to see him go out.
They wanted to see him go out with a, I mean, hell, that's a Kobe-like game.
Dang, he shot 50 times.
Like, hey, who else going to shoot that many times, bro?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
No, yeah, okay.
So he was, he was 22 or 50, six or 21 from the three.
Hurtas had had
Okay
Julius Rattel was one for four
Roy Hibbert was two of three
Jordan Clarkson was six or ten
The Angela Russell was four of ten
Kelly had zero shots
Tim Black was two or three
Larry Nance Jr. was three or three
and Hurtas was one or two
So they took
85 shots
Getting ready for a game means being ready
for anything.
Like packing a spare stick.
I like to be prepared.

Welcome back to Dos Amigos.
Dos Amigos Season 2, baby.
time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between.
Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy, where we swap stories about the moments
that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice
you give people right now? It's to value time, to be cognizant of time and how important time is,
because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. In the relationships, collaborations,
and even the failures that push us to grow.
And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since like 30, 40 years ago, right?
Like we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around.
Plus, the door always stays open for a third Amigo to pull up a chair.
Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network,
available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.
They understood the assignment.
ain't nobody have a problem with it.
Bam, teammates understood.
Spoh told him, let's see how far he can take.
Let's see how far he can take it.
I'd have been pissed if they took him out.
I ain't going to lie to you, Joe and Ocho.
I'd have stayed the whole game because now I'm going to try to get 90.
There's a minute and 24 seconds left, Joe.
I ain't going to lie.
I'm going to try to get 90.
I ain't lie.
Like, well, staying at the whole game,
don't just settle for 83.
You're saying keep going.
I had a conversation with Ozzie and Brian Billet about Jamal Lewis.
Jamal Lewis had 295 yards, Ocho, and they took him out of the game.
Yeah.
You mean to tell me, y'all can't let that man get five yards?
If somebody break 300, I want to be the first NFL player to rush for 300 yards in an NFL game.
They took the man out with like five, six minutes left in the ball game.
I don't care.
300?
Do you understand what 300 mean, Ocho, in an NFL game?
Oh, absolutely.
Hey, listen, even, even the Seycorn
Barkley thing when he could have posted a running back record
and look, look, look, it ain't no giving you're going to get back there.
He didn't have no.
As you can see the next year.
You see them?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You got to take advantage of those moments.
We had the same thing.
We had the same situation, Ocho and Joe, with TD to get $2,000.
TD needed like 177 yards.
last game of the season.
We got everything sewn up.
Hey, the lines say we want to get it.
Say we want to be in the record books.
All right.
Let's go.
Let's go get it.
I think he went got 187.
Hmm.
Dang.
Yes.
Well, bro, history.
History.
I still think about it today.
Because if you remember Ocho,
Adrian Peterson broke Jamar's record.
he ran for 296.
That was his rookie here.
If you break my, look here, if you go for 301, I'm good.
But guess what, Ocho?
I was the first guy to rush for 300 yards in an NFL game.
In an NFL game.
Yeah.
Look, Norman Brand Broccoli, his record is 500 in 50, 50, 50, 50, something yards.
The first, there's something about the first.
Yeah, people are going to come behind you.
I don't know who's the first person to have a diamond album.
But guess what, Ocho?
I was the first.
There's been a lot of diamond album.
Moran Carey got a couple.
Whitney, Michael, Beyonce.
Yeah.
I was the first.
Like I said, if I'm bam, I got 83.
I ain't lying, chat.
I ain't coming out.
I'm trying to get 90.
I ain't going to lie, boss.
I'm trying to get 90.
Hey, the first certified diamond album was Michael Jackson's thriller.
Really?
Bless you.
Wait.
Yeah, thank you.
The first album certified diamond, $10 million plus copies by RIAA awarded in 1984 were Michael Jackson's thriller, certified $20 million, Fleetwood Max Rumors, $12 million, and Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, $11 million.
That was the first.
But Michael had sold about 100 million copies
so that thing 10-time diamond.
Ain't nobody beating that.
Because they don't need that.
First of all, they dialed.
They do what Spotify is streaming now.
So you're not buying no hard copies.
It was a thing back of the day, Ocho,
to actually go buy the hard copy.
You could listen to it.
You put the headset on, put it on.
They let you listen to it.
You go to a little mom and pop
or you go to Tower Records.
And you could actually listen
to the album.
Like, yeah, I like that.
Okay, I'm going to get this.
Or you could have a go to Lamont pop shops
and they would make you a cassette.
They'd make you an eight track.
Yeah.
I ain't got no problem.
And people like, well, they was filing.
Okay.
File it.
Did anything happen in the game
that's not a part of the game?
Guess what they do every night in the game,
Ocho and Joe, file.
Yep.
There was, were they filing, bam?
They didn't have to file him.
They filed him.
So he go to the free throw line and he made 36 or 43.
Yeah.
I don't know what to tell you.
Hey, listen.
If I'm on the defensive team, man, I don't know how this man is going to get 83.
If he had 31 in the first quarter, Ojo, first off, Uncle, Ojo.
My defense, my awareness is going to turn up so high.
I'm going to start denying, man, you're not from the 83.
I've been in the game.
The highest I've been in the game, Dame Lilla, this is I was playing in Utah.
We played against the Blazers when he was in Portland.
He gave us like 62.
Damn.
Look, yeah, I know, Ocho.
He was cooking.
We couldn't, I'm talking about, but these three years.
I'm talking about everything.
We couldn't contain him in the picking road.
He's going by guards.
He's just getting what he wants to.
So in this same game, bro, I go over 20,000 points for my career.
I'm thinking to myself, say, I already knew this coming to the game.
I needed like 13 points to go for 20K.
So I went on and got mine out of the way.
First half.
I went on got mine out of the way.
Man, this Joker don't went for 62.
I'm thinking to myself, how in the hell I'm going to get the ball?
This dude don't went for a career high 62.
Lo and behold, after the game, man, a ball boy brought me the ball.
You know, Dame told him to bring it to me.
I thought that was cool.
So it's like, you know, I thought that was pretty cool on Dame part.
But we've seen Dame explode like that.
Dame got a 70-point game.
Dame could have got, because I remember calling him.
I say, bro, why you didn't, I say, why you didn't go for 80?
He's like, sure up.
I was trying to get 80.
He said, man, you saw them, they started doubling.
Hey, they were leaving other men wide open.
They were doubling and tripling him in the back court.
But I think he ended up with like 71, 72.
I called him.
I said, oh, you got to get 80.
He said, man, I was trying.
And he was cooking.
And so the thing is, Joe, I think the biggest thing,
Ojo and Joe, is that who did it?
You're thinking somebody that's a score
that's going to get a number like that.
Because when you see numbers like that, you see David Thompson or you see Luca, you see somebody with 70, those are scores.
Bam is not his score.
Yeah.
And he got 83 of all people.
Yeah.
That's why everybody's so shocked.
Shocked.
Yeah.
I'm sitting here.
I'm looking across my.
It came across my phone.
I'm like, you got what?
A buddy of mine texts me.
Say, damn.
I said,
Bam got 31 in the first quarter.
I said he'd probably end up with like 50, 55.
Right.
He said, well, he got 40.
He didn't take me back and say, we got 43 at the half.
I said, well, let's readjust that.
So let's, okay, you're going to get at least 60.
Because I'm thinking now, if you get 10 and 10, that's 20.
That's 63.
He said, when he got 62 at that, I'm like 62 in three in quarters.
I said, I said, well, 80s in play now.
Yeah.
And I'm down.
And he sent me back.
He's like 81.
And then all of a sudden it started bubbling again.
And you don't like another.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I said, what, damn?
83.
Yeah.
I don't care how you cut up slice it, fellas.
That's impressive, man.
Oh, yeah.
That's impressive.
83 points, yo.
Look.
Yeah, listen, because you know, you know what, Uncle Ocho,
you think about it, he really took,
if he shot 40, what, three throws.
Right.
And 43 shots.
He took 86 shots
You got to be in shape to do that, man
Yeah
Hey, you think he played the
He played the next game
Or do you rest after that?
No, he played it.
He played the night.
What he had tonight?
About 20?
I think he...
I think, I don't even think he had that for real.
They won, though.
They beat the buck.
I think he had, I think he had like 17?
I think he had like 17, Joe.
Hmm.
Yeah, he ended with 21.
Hey, Joe.
21. He didn't know with 21.
Okay. Hey, Joe.
What's up?
Hey, they canceled the Magic City thing, man.
I know, bro.
They still got the game.
T.I. performing at half.
I still got the tickets now.
What you?
Oh, I'm coming.
I am.
Boy, I'm coming.
What you mean?
Oh, okay.
Okay.
I thought we were a lot thing, Twain.
Yeah, I don't, I don't bought my little ticket off of a spirit.
I'd be there.
Yeah, I got you, man.
We're good.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
You sure you don't want to join us at the game?
No.
I don't got surgery, man.
He can limp out there?
No, he need to get right so I can, uh...
So I can, uh...
Get him in that cornhole.
Get him in that cornhole.
There you go.
There you go.
I just said, get him in the cornhole.
He won the cornhole.
I want my get back in there.
You know, I know he'd be at home practicing in the backyard
when he out there with the dogs.
I already know what going on.
I'm trying to show you something, guys.
Because people...
What you got, man?
Put zero in on that.
When I say my buddy was texting me.
Who did you?
Could y'all see that?
Not really.
Damn, bro.
Send it one.
And then he put 81, and then soon as he started pulling again, 83.
He did.
He said 83, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Guys, y'all think people...
Look, I know the internet,
because you got AI, and people lie so much.
I ain't got to lie.
What I want to know, what do I get?
I just want to know, chat.
Tell me what, to the guy that wrote.
Tell me what I get out of my line.
Oh, Troy, and I did, I find out.
I got another famous number.
I got a Justin Timberlake's number in my phone, too.
Okay, okay.
I was looking like, well, damn, I forgot I got JT.
But I think that's the biggest thing.
But check this out, Joe.
Gordon Hayward said,
I think Bam is one of the best two-way players in the league
at his position.
but he's not a score, right?
So for him to break Kobe's record,
I don't think it's great for the league.
I think it's kind of highlights
how they're already struggling.
It kinds of feels like a pickup game
when you're watching.
And for him to shoot 43 free throws
and 22 threes,
when that's not what he does,
it almost feels like,
and again, the Wizards 2,
with all the teams tanking,
it kind of makes it feel not legit.
Ocho, Joe?
You see what I mean, Joe?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, hey.
Like my grandma say, if you ain't got nothing good to say, don't say nothing at all, man.
No, for real, don't say nothing at all, man.
Stop trying to diminish what this man and done.
We got a lot of people hating on them that I wouldn't expect to hate to be coming from, fellas.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, 83 is 83, bro.
Like, unless he took 80 shots, you know what I'm saying?
Like, the man, he had it going, man.
He had a good night.
Regardless if he shot 43 free throws, so what?
To get 83 points in the game, man.
Did they file it?
The question.
I want to know, Ocho, Joe, did they file him?
Were they filed?
Gordon Hayward, anybody else said he shot 43 free throws.
Did they file him?
That is the question.
Because last I checked, when Dr. Naismith wrote it, he wrote files in there.
And if you went over a certain number, you got to shoot free throws.
Or if you were in the act of shooting, you shot free throws.
Or if you had five files.
So the question is, were they filing bam?
Yes or no?
Yeah, they were filing.
They could not do nothing with that man.
Do you hear me?
I'm talking about, okay, Ojo, the mayor was in his bag.
Like, I knew he had a nice little handle.
You know what I mean?
I knew he had a nice.
He looked like, I'm talking about the way he was coming down, shooting three,
getting in his bag.
I'm like, hold on.
Thank you.
I said the same thing.
I said the same thing when they were showing it,
because they showed somebody,
I think it, what you call them,
they showed all 31 of his points
in the first quarter on Twitter X.
And I'm like, well, damn, bam, hold up.
How you come on take three dribbles past half court
and pull up from three?
That ain't your game.
But when you in, Joe, just like when you had those
back-to-back 200-yard game,
when you in that zone, ain't nothing to do.
You in there.
Hey, look, look.
I'm like, hold on, bro.
You've been teasing us.
You got all this in your bag.
You give us 80.
three, come on, man.
Like, you know.
But what did he say,
what did he say, Joe?
He said the same thing.
I think Bam is one of the best two-way players in the league at his position,
but he's not a score.
You see, because of who did it.
If Dame Lillardt this record,
if Steph Curry, James Harde,
Luca Donchich,
somebody that's known for scoring,
Kevin Durant.
He's expected.
I don't think we got this.
But because it's Bam.
What was Bam high this year?
I mean, this year.
Bam high this year,
might be 30.
And to go from a high 30 to add 53 to that is just crazy.
Yeah, it came out of no one.
And you look at the guys because you look at the guys that got those numbers,
those guys are scores.
Everybody that's up there, Will it was a score.
Wilm average 30 and 23 for a career.
You look at James Harden, it's known as a score.
You look at David Thompson was a score.
Michael Jordan high was 69, a score.
Colby's high, 81, score.
You look at guys that Luca Donchitz is a score.
Dame Lillard is a score.
We look at Bam, we think at Bam is a two-way player.
He'll get you somewhere 15 to 20.
Ain't going to get you somewhere between 8 and 12 rebounds.
That's what he is.
Great two-way player.
Can play defense, can play on-ball defense,
can play helpside defense, can rebound the basketball.
It's just so unlike him.
him.
Joel and B.
who's score.
We don't look at BAM as a score.
And so that's what's throwing people off.
But it happens.
Sometimes guys have out about the experiences.
Look at Flipper.
And somebody said, well, who got the most receiving yards
in a single game, Motechow?
They're going to say Megatron.
They're going to say Randem all, Jerry Wright, T.O.
It's flip.
Lillow flip.
Six foot.
180.
You went crazy.
You went
getting down, wasn't it?
Boy, you went crazy, boy.
But I ain't, I ain't a lot.
I ain't lose no sleep over it.
Hell, I've been watching it.
I go, I watch it.
I'm like, well, damn.
Because you don't know, but I ain't coming out.
I'm gonna try to get 90.
Keep doing what y'all doing.
That game would have just been ending.
Hey, I'm gonna get, but.
I'm going to get...
Joe, Ocho, you seven points away from 90.
I mean, you think...
Can you imagine if that dude would have got 90?
Now, I want somebody to get 90 points.
For whatever reason, it just feels strange,
but I feel like it can happen.
You know, you just...
That first quarter obviously got to be special.
You know what I'm saying?
That first quarter special.
If you can get 26, 30 points in the first...
In the first quarter,
then you're thinking like, okay, boom.
and half, if I can have
43, 42, 45 and half.
Yeah, you got a good chance, boy.
I know I'm getting 50.
Oh, Joe.
Yeah.
It's like, it's like, you remember when
Tyreek,
Tyreek had those 200 yards in the first,
and like five catches against Tampa?
Yeah.
I said, oh, yeah.
Oh, he might to break this.
I'm thinking he might to break the record.
You got 200 and you got a whole half to go.
So I'm just knowing, you know, it's like anything, you get going and you just like, oh, yeah, it's one of those days.
And you just, you know, I look, I understand y'all can be mad all you want to.
Guess what?
I'm in the record.
And look, there might be somebody that might break Wilts record.
And there might be somebody get 90 and push me down to three.
And somebody might push me down, I might at one point in 50 years from now, I might be 10.
But this is what I know.
I scored 83 points in an NBA game.
Man, that's, that's, anybody that got something to say, that.
Hey, that's nasty words.
Michael Porter Jr. said Nicola Yolkich is the greatest of all time.
People will say Michael Jordan just to agree, but they haven't watched film.
They'll just say it to agree with everyone else.
For me, with my two eyes and from what I've seen, I'm going to say,
Nicola Yolkich is the best player that I've ever seen.
from what I've seen today to day,
and I haven't seen anybody as dominant as Yoke.
Well, that's saying that's a liar.
But who said that joke?
His ex-teamate.
Yoke is ex-teamate.
Michael Porter, Jr.
He played for the Brooklyn Nets.
But see, that's what happens.
Like you said, with his eyes.
Like I said, he said with his eyes.
So he didn't see Karee.
Yeah, out of sight, out of mind.
What you ain't seen.
Yeah.
He didn't see Kareem.
He ain't see Mose him alone.
He didn't see Larry Bird.
He ain't see Magic.
He didn't see Jordan.
He didn't.
He didn't see that.
I can't blame him for saying what he's seen with his own two eyes.
But that's what happens with youth.
Because you haven't seen it, you don't think it happens.
It's on the film.
Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything.
Like packing a spare stick.
I like to be prepared.
That's why I remember 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline.
It's good to know just in case.
Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime.
988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada.

Welcome back to Dos Amigos.
Dos Amigos Season 2, baby!
This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between.
Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy, where we swap stories about,
the moments that really shaped us on and off camera.
What do we invest in right now?
What is the immediate advice you give people right now?
Is to value time to be cognizant of time and how important time is
because once the time is up, it's up and then that's it.
And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that
pushed us to grow.
And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since like 30,
40 years ago, right? Like we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around.
Plus, the door always stays
open for a third amigo to pull up a chair.
Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the
My Cultura Podcast Network,
available on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.
It's on film.
There's footage.
Everybody, everybody.
I'm old enough to remember Kareem.
I'm old enough to remember Kareem.
Like I said, go back and look at Kareem numbers
when he first got to Milwaukee.
And when he first got to L.A., look at his numbers.
He was giving you a.
33, 34, and 16, 17
for a season.
He didn't come to the all-time
leading score for no reason.
And the third leading rebounder
for no reason.
A six-time MVP
for no reason.
Skyhooking you to deal.
He has the most unstoppable
everybody, look, we don't see
everybody to perfect. They don't, uh, KD
took a, uh, a, uh, a, uh, a dirt
one-legged step back. You don't see
how many people hit Jordan turn around from
Kobe to LeBron to this one.
Tell me the person you've seen consistently throw that sky hook.
And I'm not talking about the end of the shot clock.
That's a hard shot to replicate.
Ain't nobody doing that sky hook, boy.
That's really the only shot that he,
and he wasn't throwing it from two feet.
He thwarted it for 15, 18 feet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hatch.
Yeah.
You couldn't stop it.
You couldn't stop it.
He told.
man the game changed so much it has it has it has it has it has it's a different game now
and i'm not looking i've been i've been a nicole yokech fan everybody can know y'all know i've been
a yokech fan i've been a luka fan basically since they got to the league and it's going to be hard
it's going to be hard if you were to get another championship or two for yoke to say he's not a top
10 player. It just deals.
Yeah. Because he's going to have championships.
He's already got three MVP. He's going to
be top three for MVP for the next three, four
years. Now he
messed around and get another and he got four.
He got a couple of championships. He got three.
I wanted it because
you know, big man,
they kind of hard to market.
You know, outside.
You got to get me the ball, Joe.
Yeah.
Big man never get no credit.
We forget about, we forget about Will.
we forget about Mr. Russell,
we forget about Corrine.
The big man ain't going to never get no trouble
because somebody got to get in the ball.
When you got him that ball, he was hell, wasn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
Or is it because the game doesn't look, you know,
flamboyant enough when you're playing through your bigs,
you know, versus the perimeter guys,
they're going to rouse or dives you,
cross you over, step your back.
You know, that's why they get all the sales
when it comes to apparel and things of that sort.
But you never see a big man really outside,
a shack who probably sold a lot of shoes outside of that.
You don't really see big men with with shoe deals like that.
No, because big, they don't, they don't, they don't, I mean, look at Tim Duncan.
They're calling the fundamentals.
He ain't do nothing.
They had the same expression on his face just buttoning everybody there.
Whop, wobb, wob, wop, wop, wop.
I mean, he ain't, I mean, he didn't do nothing fancy.
And he didn't have no finger roll, all he just, glad.
I'm like, man, damn.
Yeah.
Sometimes I wish the bank, boy.
wasn't there.
Damn, he's going
up the backboard
all the time
making that shot.
I'm telling you,
man,
he could,
shh.
Damn,
you bring my
half flashbacks
thinking about them.
That man stopped me
from getting the ring.
I could have got me one.
Damn,
Tim Duncan had.
But that's the way it is
because when you think about it,
we'll got 24,000 rebounds.
Y'all do realize
that man averaged
24 rebounds
for a career.
Not a lot of
No, no, no, no.
Do y'all realize that?
That man average 24 rebounds?
Are you correct?
It don't even sound real.
The man never had less, never had a season with less than 17 rebounds in a season.
That's crazy.
He was had a season.
He had 40, average 44 and 27.
That was after the year you average 50 and 25.
Because y'all said, y'all thought I was bulljiving.
Just just so I'm not bulljaving, I'm going to put a 44 and 27 on you.
Hey
Wimby on that trajectory
I'm talking about
your word like I'm saying
I think he's gonna be able to dominate
Uncle Ocho
and when he really fill out
to become who he's gonna be
because he ain't but what
23 22 uh yeah
something like that
damn
well he got a long way to go
boy
boy at about 25 26
you're gonna be here
if he keeps grow
yeah
he just get a little strong
in your little body. Yeah.
And he figured out,
you figure that part out? It's going to be a wrap.
You think he's going to develop like,
like Janus? Like get big like that?
Nah.
He ain't going to get big like that.
Yonnie.
And Janis was skinny like that too,
nah.
Yeah, he was. He was.
Yeah, but that's a lot more to fill out.
Yeah. Yeah.
I don't see it with me.
I think he's going to get a lot stronger,
he, you know, he might get him
stronger.
He might get him a little girth on that,
But, man.
Just so, just so, uh, uh, just so people can't move him, you know,
try to play through his body and move him off the spot.
Yeah.
But, uh, he, he was talking about the women to develop the skyhook.
Man, don't let that man develop no skyhook.
How'd the head you couldn't block Kareemes and he said, too.
What the hell do you're going to do with a man?
Sam 4, 75 throw the sky hook from 9 feet high.
No, but look, I get it.
you look at Yolkin the stuff that he's doing.
We've never seen a big man this skilled offensively
that could score the basketball,
can assist the basketball.
There have been very few bigs that he ran the offense through.
We've seen point forwards,
but they run the offense through him.
Yeah.
He's going to average another triple double this year.
Yeah.
I think it's the grace that he plays with Arkansas.
How he makes the game look so easy, so simple.
Like, you know, it don't even seem like he really,
they're trying that hard
if I'm being 100 with you.
You know when I watch him play,
it's like,
because if you give him one-on-one coverage,
he's going to pick whoever that is guard,
he's going to pick him apart so quick.
And it's like, then if you double him,
he's always looking for the open man
and he's a past first big.
Who can score?
You know what I mean?
So it's fun to watch him.
It's fun to watch him work.
And he's going to be,
he's going to be hard to stop too, man.
That's why I say the West so tough
because by the time whoever comes out of the West,
they're going to be so beat up.
Because from the first round, all way into the west, to the finals,
boy, you're going to have a headhunters on you.
You got your hands full.
And the thing is, he's on pace Joe to lead the league and assist again.
You know, Wilk did it many, many years ago.
But this guy's leading the league and assists with double digits,
which is crazy.
It don't make no sense, man.
It's crazy.
It don't make no sense.
Like I said, his.
touch around the basket is second and none.
I've seen a lot of big.
I mean, so we go back to the mid-70s and come forward.
I've never seen a big with that kind of touch.
No, I ain't either.
I ain't either.
I ain't either.
I ain't either.
So I think for them,
it's all about how healthy they can get or how healthy Gordon could get
because he's the one guy who can definitely help Murray and Yokic.
You know, when he comes to the-
Get Watson back.
Yeah, and get Watson back.
They got to get them dudes back healthy.
So they get those guys back here
It's going to be very interesting
Because you know look
Come playoff time Murray and Yoke
They're going to be Murray and Yoke
It's Gordon
When Gordon gave you that third option
Yeah
Yeah
He gave you that third option
He's going to be tough
He's going to be he's going to be
He's going to be tough
He's going to be tough to beat
Yeah
Because Yoke you know
You don't know what do you do
You let him get 50
Or do you let him get 25
30 with 20 rebounds and 15 assists.
Oh, my God.
Because you add his mercy.
Like you said, they don't have one guy that can stop it.
You got to bring the double.
You got to bring help.
And it just comes now, anytime a guy gets double, Joe, and you know this.
It's up to the guy that they're knocking down shots.
You're like, hey, f it.
We get the next game.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because if you don't come, he's going to punish it.
If you do come, he's going to kick it, and the guy's knocking down shots.
Yeah, you got to pick your poison.
That's a loo-l-l-l-situation, huh?
Yeah.
Hey, that's why they, that's why they, you know, a lot of teams starting to be physical with a lot of these guys, too.
You know, have them crying and whining to the referee.
Got you trying to wear them down.
Like, man, we know we ain't going to stop you, but if we can frustrate you and had you teed off out here to where you get a couple of ignit files and you had to go sound,
and we've done just as good as job.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
So we'll see.
The one thing we do know, he has at least five more years.
Let's see what his numbers are.
Let's see what he's done.
Has he won more championships?
Has he won more MVP?
And then we're going to have to have a serious, serious discussion.
Because the numbers are going to warrant and the wars are going to warrant.
It's just a matter how many championships does he have.
Yeah.
It's going to warrant some consideration.
It's going to put them at the top.
Yeah, absolutely.
Because there ain't a whole lot of guys.
Ain't a whole lot of guys that got, I mean, you got to go back.
Only, let's see, Kareen with four, with six MVP's.
You got Jordan and Russell with five MVP's.
And you got LeBron and Will with four MVPs.
You're talking about what you.
Moses Malone has three.
So Magic has three, Bird has three.
So now we're talking about he already has three
Now you mess around and get him
And let him get a fourth and a fifth
And he gets a couple of championships
Now what are we supposed to do with that
Just ignore it?
Oh let me guess
He played in a soft era
There's always going to be something
So we gonna see
Before we move on Joe
The social media team had this post yesterday
Look at Joe there
What happened bro?
Joe, what's your?
Oh man
What y'all got going on?
Joe, what's going on?
Joe?
Do you know anything about wrestling, Joe?
Yeah, I know something about wrestling.
Well, uh, junkyard dog.
Well, C.M. Punk did that when he beat Seth,
where he won the belts.
So he was making fun of Seth Rollins and his, and, and Becky.
So they got the championship.
So he's like, I got the bills now.
So that's what he was doing.
So we were spoofing, we were spoofing that.
And people were like, man, why y'all do Joe like that?
Clearly y'all not wrestling fans.
Because if you knew, if you were wrestling fans,
You're the new CM Punk did that
And we took that from CM Punk
Yeah
They thought you
Can we pull up the clip
For Sierra Pump
Oh they thought you go
You see Joe
Yeah yeah they thought you were trying
They thought you were trying
They thought you were trying to put shame
On the king
Wait on the king
Ain't nobody thought that
See you added that Joe
Ain't nobody saying

I'm saying
I'm saying
I'm telling you what social media
On
Seam Punk ain't had no hat on
I'm telling you what social media
were thinking
Like oh man they tried to put
They try to put shame on the king.
That's what they do.
You can't self-proclaim yourself as a king.
You can't do that, Joe.
Ocho, do we have to go through this every time, man?
You can't call yourself the king.
You have to be appointed.
I was anointed.
By who?
Ocho, you know what I was in high school?
This back in 1999, back in Little Rock, Arkansas,
at D, Little Rock Central.
You know, I won a homecoming king, Ocho.
I was anointed back in the day in high school.
Real?
Yeah, man, I won a homecoming king.
How are you homecoming king and you don't, you only play football?
It was, I won the basketball homecoming king doing the game.
Y'all had a basketball homecoming king?
What kind of boy job?
You don't have a football team?
You don't have, hold on, hold on, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't act like y'all ain't got basketball homecoming now.
No, we don't.
I ain't never heard that.
Who don't?
Nobody but you.
Man, y'all tripping king and queen is on football night.
It's a football.
Football.
Man, you got a homecoming king.

I know where y'all from, bro.
What in the sticks?
I know y'all from down there.
Chat.
I know all the basketball whole area.
Joe, I promise you, I've never heard of basketball homecoming King Queen.
Now, football.
Man, y'all, what is, what?
Chat.
It is different down now.
I need y'all, chat.
Chat don't know?
They don't know.
Hey, Joe, what your school population was?
About 200?
Chill, chill, chill.
I'm just asking.
We had, we had close to about 500 people in my high school class now.
Damn, and just one class?
No, not your high school, your graduating class.
Yes, my high school graduating class.
Now, you mean the whole school, 500 kids.
Joe, I have never heard.
Now, I don't been to a lot of places.
As a matter of fact, I'm getting ready to go to the county fair.
But being from the South and being on a farm,
I was in 4-H, I went to county fairs.
I went to two goat shows and a cow show.
I ain't never heard no ish like that.
When you got a basketball homecoming quick.
I ain't never heard of it, Ocho.
Oh, Joe.
And the chance that they ain't never heard it either.
As a matter of fact, it's homecoming.
Man, what is wrong with y'all?
These people saying this in the chair.
No, homecoming, homecoming for football game.
You mean, hold on, you mean the prom?
You was prom king?
Now, I get it.
If you say I was prom king, because you got homecoming, you got prom.
So if you say I was the prom king, okay, Joe, congratulations.
You got basketball, who?
I ain't heard of.
I ain't heard of that.
Man, y'all must grow up in some real rural areas to where.
Then y'all probably
have stop lights
and all that.
I'm from Little Rock, Arkansas.
I know.
The hell.
I'm saying.
Like he's from L.A.
Or New York.
Hey,
hey,

Joe.
Show me a picture

Show you a picture.
Okay,

I'm going to show you
I ain't got one on me.
No,

You think you're slick.
Hey,
he's going to use AI and try to create one.
Oh,
You think I sit here and lie to you, bro.
This is the last thing I'm going to do.
I ain't going to lie to you, bro.
Like I said, prom.
If you say, hey, uh, Ocho, you know you boy.
You know your boy with the farm king.
So I've been in this king thing for a minute now.
This ain't the first time I've been in order to the king.
They crown me the king for the prom.
Okay.
You know, your boy playing a little football.
I was a quarterback.
I was a wire receiver.
I was homecoming king.
Gotcha.
So y'all are trying to.
Basketball?
Nah.
Something ain't right.
something ain't adding up.
Hey, boy, hey,
these people are going to talk about y'all over here, man.
Not really?
Maybe, hey, maybe y'all had a nice little pep rally.
Y'all used to do it.
Y'all had a pep rally, right?
Yeah, man, we used to have a pep rally.
Come on, man, y'all don't try to play out like that.
I'm just saying.
If you had a basketball homecoming,
ain't no telling what else y'all had.
Hold on, so listen,

they have football homecoming,
y'all do know they have a basketball homecoming, too, right?
Not by school.
Not mine either.
You know, man, well, y'all stop playing crazy.
I promise you.
So y'all got a baseball homecoming too?
Track homecoming?
Nope.
So what are we stopping today?
You got to stop somewhere.
Hey, great, y'all got a chill, bro.
Badger's your head every day had a wrestling homecoming, football homecoming, basketball, homecoming, soccer, baseball.
Baseball.
Wow.
That's crazy.
Maybe it's small areas that do that, Joe.
Maybe a small area.
No, bro.
Not down here in Miami.
Not that I know of.
The chat telling y'all both.
They telling you all both.
I mean, the people in the chat that are saying both
are probably from small rural areas like Arkansas.
Yeah.
I mean, they probably have a black and a white homecoming queen.
Okay, I get it.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
I don't believe you want.
Black and white proms.
I mean, y'all have this is great prom.
Hey, hey, hey, listen.
Hey, listen.
Y'all want to put a stain on my crown.
So bad.
No, we put no stain on it.
We're just saying you just there's no way you want it.
Listen, listen, I don't figure y'all out.
I don't figure y'all out.
Boy, y'all want to put a stain on your boy so bad.
Y'all good.
We're good.
Joe, I ain't even went home coming king,
so I know you ain't even went when you was playing.
No.
In high school?
No.

Oh, Joe.
Hold on, I'm going to have to get my stuff together on y'all.
Get it, Joe.
Get it, Joe.
I ain't went home coming king.

All the way through the NFL,

Joe, y'all had a senior trip, Joe?
They went on the scene trip.
I ain't go, though.
Where they went?
I always went to Disney World or Disneyland,
whichever one is out here.
Yeah, it was, it was somewhere like that.
We went on the cruise.
So what was I going to use for luggage?
Pickly-weekly bags?
They had no suitcase.
The hell I looked like going to the cruise with grocery bags.
Come on, now.
Yeah.

Most likely to succeed.

That's what I'm going to do.
I have to give my yearbook.
In Glenville history.

I'm the only athlete to win most MVP in basketball, football track, and senior athlete.
I'm the only one that did it's sweet stakes.
Hey, that's impressive.
I ain't going to lie to you.
Sweet stakes.
That's impressive.
But I still ain't heard of the whole best.
Never that.
man y'all ain't
this is
what is crazy
self-proclaimed king
child please
you don't
you don't see the chat
the chat
vouching it for everything
they're going to say it
they ain't nobody
ain't nobody they said both
they say it's a football homecoming
and a basketball
homecoming
we're going to close the chat let's go close the chat
we got the poll up
Hey, hey, hey.
I,
I detected a voter fraud,
so we've got to close the chat.
Damn.
What's up?
What's up, fellas?
Y'all was straight?
Are we good, Joe?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, we do.
Everything good, Joe.
In the four years to the day,
the last appearance in his NBA game,
Dwight Howard,
is officially retired from professional basketball.
Joe, Ocho,
you first, Joe.
where do you rank Dwight?
Oh, I got him up as far as Senna's up.
He up there, bro.
He up there.
I had a chance to play against him in a couple playoff series
to where it was nothing we could do, bro.
We had to let the man, like, we had to play him straight up
because they were so good.
This is the year they went to the finals.
They beat us that year.
But then the following year, we beat them.
But he was so dominant.
Like, I'm talking about, like, to the point,
defensively, he can anchor the defense by himself.
He was crazy athletic at 6-11,
jumping out the gym like that.
Like, defensively, bro, he just wrecked the game.
It was just, it was special to watch, you know.
You talk about, hey, Jodis or Orlando Magic is right.
Yeah, yeah.
For the back injury.
He used to get to it, boy.
He had everything.
He had, you know, he came into the league,
not really scored, just a, you know,
rim runner.
And then he developed, you know,
developed some post moves down in the post,
Uncle Ocho, to where he was effective.
And next thing you know, he was unstoppable.
He was unstoppable. He had a good career.
He had a great career, actually. He had a Hall of Fame one.
The only thing I say,
they did him wrong.
He deserves to be one of those top 75 players.
There are some guys that got on there.
And I love Anthony Davis.
I think Anthony Davis is phenomenal.
But Anthony Davis has not had a better career than the White Howard
when they selected his team. He didn't.
Right. I'm sorry, guys.
And I'm sorry.
And I respectfully,
And I think, I think, I think Anthony Davis is a phenomenal player.
And he's gotten and earned everything that he deserves.
Dwight Howard is one of the 75 best players in NBA history.
His resume, the defensive player of the years, the all NBA selections,
he finished second in the MVP voting.
He anchored a team that went to the NBA finals.
They lost to Kobe.
But Dwight Howard is the top 75 player.
Absolutely.
Now, look
We start talking about sinners
You got Shaq and you got Kareem
You got Mr. Russell
You got Wilk
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, um,
Mose and Malone,
Yoke
Embed.
No, I ain't taking the beat over him.
What do you rank among
What do you rank Dwight?
I'm trying to get to the greatest sentence.
I'm trying to get to the phone.
Corrine, Mr. Russell, Wilk, Shaq,
Moses Malone
Nicola Yolkich
that's six there
what you put him at like seventh to eighth
It centers, yeah
I'm thinking so, Ocho
oh no no no he died
for Hakeem
what the hell?
Yeah
what the hell
man come on Dave Robinson
you put Dave Robinson yeah
you forgot
but Tim Duncan
he's a power for it huh?
He'll four
Five four.
Yeah, man, I don't know
where you put him in top ten.
You haven't lost my damn mind.
So, yeah, I think you're a top ten center.
I think I give him top ten.
Yeah.
He ended the top five.
Yeah, he had a good career.
Ochoo, it's time to play a page
presented by prize picks.
Oh, okay.
Damn, what animation.
All right, Joe, Dejante Murray, 21 and a half, points and assist.
So when you combine points and assists, he'll have at least 21 and a half.
Hey, hey, hold on, hold on.
Dee Murray, he's been out there acting a little different.
Standing old foes and all kinds of men, ain't a man.
Ain't a man.
Hey, look, look, I like his energy.
I say he's going to be over there.
He's ready.
Hey, look, he's down for one.
whatever. He over there, Uncle Ocho.
Points and assists? Yeah.
Yeah, he getting to it. He ain't playing.
Derek Queen, two and a half
assist. Yeah, I like Bigfellow. He can pass that.
He got a nice deal for the game.
He can pass at Ocho. As a center, he
he brings the ball up to court sometime,
kind of like Yokic. You know, they start the
offense with him. Yeah.
Kevin Durant will have at least
25 and a half points.
Who they're playing?
Oh, they playing
I think they playing the Pelicans, right?
Yeah, they're playing the Pelicans.
Yeah, yeah, here.
He'll get on some work.
And last but not least, Portland versus Utah,
Robert Williams, seven and a half rebounds.
Hold on, Robin, Robin Ball,
I've been checking him out.
The only thing is,
is he starting?
I think he's coming off the bench.

Yeah.
Joe, you got to create your own table, Joe.
Hello.
I don't know what kind of going that is, but you holding it pretty steady
because if that's gold, if that was real gold, boy, there ain't no way you holding it like that.
No, it's heavy, it's heavy.
It's metallic, gold flakes.
So it's gold flake, it's not full 14-carat.
Oh, no, because then it would distort.
Okay, it would distort, you know.
It looked just like me, don't it?
Hey, they did a good job, bro.
They did a good job.
Joe, hold on. Joe, look at the side profile, Joe.
Let me check you out.
Oh, yeah.
He got their head, boy.
They don't.
They got you right.
It looked like me, Joe.
Yeah, they got you right, bro.
Hey, Joe, so I'm going to have it sitting back there.
And then, you know, the jacket, you know the jacket I had on when I scored and I put the whole name jacket on?
I'm going to frame that up and have it sitting in the background with all my war, Joe.
Man, that's going to be fine.
Yeah, Joe.
Hey, Joe,
Hey, this one-on-one, Joe.
I had to make my own, you know?
Hey, Joe, that's my $59.00 went.

Nah, no, you, you, no, you good.
Hey, hey, hey, what we are?
There's three years that man owe you.
God.
No, Joe.
Joe, I got him, Joe.
Hey, I'll tell you what my grandma told me.
You been hearing you say that for three years.
Hey, hey, hey, Joe.
I thought we had got past it.
That's all I'm saying.
Yo, long as I, long as I owe him, he'll never be broke.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
You know, so anytime it's an emergency situation, you know, you break the glass.
Yeah.
Break the glass.
I got you.
Okay.
Yeah.
Hey, Joe, the chat said, Ocho went to the same people to do his statue that D. Wade got.
Oh, man.
Come on, man.
No, Joe, they look just like me.
Nah.
Hey, yo, you're, you're, yours looks like you, oh, Joe.
Hey, Joe.
Hey, the chat maker.
Hey, Ash, you can show you can, I'm going to show you.
I'm going to show you.
I was young.
I was young, too.
Hey, ask, can you show the side by side of the picture and the statue so the people can see?
I sent it to you.
I texted to you.
It's probably too late to put up on.
Yeah, that's the same.
That's the same one.
Whoever did this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Joe, see the chat trying to make jokes.
Whoever did Dee Wade hooked up Ocho.
Nah, no, no, no, no, no.
Because they're right down there, Miami's the two for one.
Nah, I'm saying you can't, you can't get that wrong, man.
Come on, man.
Hey, Joe, yeah, see, I use a younger picture.
See, that looked like Richard Jefferson.
Hey, that looked just like, look.
Look at the side by side, Joe.
Let me see.
Oh, yeah.
Boy, that's you.
Yeah, it looks just like me.
I just use a younger picture.
Why you use a younger picture on, Joe?
You ain't looked like that in 25 years.
Yeah, but I want to use a picture when I was sexy.
See this, hey, Joe, this is the picture, right?
Yeah.
But people are going to look at you and look at you now,
Joe, you got to use more updated pitch.
Nah, but, hey, but, hey, oh, this is when I was the sexist man in the year.
I get that.
But that was 20 years ago.
People looking at you now.
Right.
Yeah, but I don't want them to worry about it.
I want my best version of me.
Right.
I want my bus to be the best version of me.
I was, I was sexy.
I was a sex symbol back then, Joe.
Yeah, I see what you got going on.
I ain't want to use the old me.
The old me.
The old me.
They're catfishing people.
Nah, a chat, y'all making jokes.
You see that?
That's me.
That's me there.
