Oh, Ocho. Bam, historic 83.9 against the wizard last night, presented fans
Starting point is 00:02:56 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.
Starting point is 00:03:24 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.
Starting point is 00:03:38 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.
Starting point is 00:04:02 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.
Starting point is 00:04:18 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.
Starting point is 00:04:31 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.
Starting point is 00:04:47 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.
Starting point is 00:05:00 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.
Starting point is 00:05:16 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.
Starting point is 00:05:35 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.
Starting point is 00:05:52 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
Starting point is 00:06:07 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?
Starting point is 00:06:22 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.
Starting point is 00:06:37 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
Starting point is 00:06:52 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,
Starting point is 00:07:11 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,
Starting point is 00:07:33 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.
Starting point is 00:08:09 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.
Starting point is 00:08:27 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.
Starting point is 00:08:57 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.
Starting point is 00:09:17 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.
Starting point is 00:09:38 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?
Starting point is 00:10:01 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,
Starting point is 00:10:18 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.
Starting point is 00:10:38 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.
Starting point is 00:10:53 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.
Starting point is 00:11:11 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,
Starting point is 00:11:37 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?
Starting point is 00:12:03 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.
Starting point is 00:12:17 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.
Starting point is 00:12:36 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,
Starting point is 00:12:58 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.
Starting point is 00:13:16 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,
Starting point is 00:13:30 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.
Starting point is 00:13:46 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.
Starting point is 00:13:58 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.
Starting point is 00:14:14 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.
Starting point is 00:14:28 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?
Starting point is 00:14:39 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.
Starting point is 00:14:46 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.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Like, that's legendary because, obviously, you know, we hadn't seen Will, but we know Will got 100 points. Yeah. Man, can you.
Starting point is 00:15:02 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,
Starting point is 00:15:36 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.
Starting point is 00:15:57 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.
Starting point is 00:16:17 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.
Starting point is 00:16:38 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.
Starting point is 00:17:04 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.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Ain't nobody saying nothing. 50 shots. No. What are you friends with 60? 60. 50 shots. Yeah. Ain't nobody said nothing.
Starting point is 00:17:35 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.
Starting point is 00:17:45 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.
Starting point is 00:18:04 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.
Starting point is 00:18:25 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
Starting point is 00:18:47 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.
Starting point is 00:19:09 I like to be prepared. That's why I remember, 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know, just in case.

Starting point is 00:21:42 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?

Starting point is 00:22:20 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.
Starting point is 00:22:45 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.
Starting point is 00:23:02 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.
Starting point is 00:23:28 300? 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.
Starting point is 00:23:48 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.
Starting point is 00:24:02 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.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Hmm. Dang. Yes. Well, bro, history. History. I still think about it today. Because if you remember Ocho, Adrian Peterson broke Jamar's record.
Starting point is 00:24:32 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.
Starting point is 00:24:56 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.
Starting point is 00:25:18 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.
Starting point is 00:25:28 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
Starting point is 00:26:03 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.
Starting point is 00:26:21 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.
Starting point is 00:26:31 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.
Starting point is 00:26:46 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.
Starting point is 00:27:00 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.
Starting point is 00:27:20 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.
Starting point is 00:27:38 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.
Starting point is 00:27:56 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.
Starting point is 00:28:14 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.
Starting point is 00:28:31 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.
Starting point is 00:28:49 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.
Starting point is 00:29:13 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?
Starting point is 00:29:25 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.
Starting point is 00:29:37 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.
Starting point is 00:29:58 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.
Starting point is 00:30:11 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,
Starting point is 00:30:23 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
Starting point is 00:30:38 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.
Starting point is 00:30:48 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.
Starting point is 00:31:00 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.
Starting point is 00:31:10 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.
Starting point is 00:31:19 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.
Starting point is 00:31:27 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.
Starting point is 00:31:42 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...
Starting point is 00:32:04 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.
Starting point is 00:32:19 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?
Starting point is 00:32:39 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.
Starting point is 00:32:55 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.
Starting point is 00:33:09 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,
Starting point is 00:33:23 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.
Starting point is 00:33:40 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?
Starting point is 00:33:59 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.
Starting point is 00:34:19 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.
Starting point is 00:34:44 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.
Starting point is 00:34:59 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.
Starting point is 00:35:12 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.
Starting point is 00:35:27 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?
Starting point is 00:35:36 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,
Starting point is 00:35:52 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.
Starting point is 00:36:04 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.
Starting point is 00:36:31 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.
Starting point is 00:36:52 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.
Starting point is 00:37:10 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.
Starting point is 00:37:26 It's flip. Lillow flip. Six foot. 180. You went crazy. You went getting down, wasn't it? Boy, you went crazy, boy.
Starting point is 00:37:39 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.
Starting point is 00:37:54 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,
Starting point is 00:38:17 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.
Starting point is 00:38:31 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,
Starting point is 00:38:47 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.
Starting point is 00:39:09 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.
Starting point is 00:39:35 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,
Starting point is 00:40:03 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.
Starting point is 00:40:18 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.
Starting point is 00:40:31 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.
Starting point is 00:40:47 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!
Starting point is 00:43:24 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
Starting point is 00:43:54 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,
Starting point is 00:44:13 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.
Starting point is 00:44:30 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.
Starting point is 00:44:49 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
Starting point is 00:45:06 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.
Starting point is 00:45:25 He thwarted it for 15, 18 feet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hatch. Yeah. You couldn't stop it. You couldn't stop it.
Starting point is 00:45:37 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
Starting point is 00:46:12 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.
Starting point is 00:46:28 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.
Starting point is 00:46:43 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
Starting point is 00:47:00 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.
Starting point is 00:47:22 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
Starting point is 00:47:37 up the backboard all the time making that shot. I'm telling you, man, he could, shh. Damn,
Starting point is 00:47:42 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.
Starting point is 00:47:51 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
Starting point is 00:48:06 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.
Starting point is 00:48:21 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
Starting point is 00:48:41 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
Starting point is 00:48:52 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.
Starting point is 00:49:05 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,
Starting point is 00:49:19 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.
Starting point is 00:49:33 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.
Starting point is 00:49:57 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.
Starting point is 00:50:21 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,
Starting point is 00:50:39 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,
Starting point is 00:50:51 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.
Starting point is 00:51:03 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.
Starting point is 00:51:26 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.
Starting point is 00:51:42 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
Starting point is 00:51:57 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
Starting point is 00:52:13 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
Starting point is 00:52:25 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
Starting point is 00:52:36 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.
Starting point is 00:52:59 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?
Starting point is 00:53:14 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.
Starting point is 00:53:41 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.
Starting point is 00:54:00 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.
Starting point is 00:54:22 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
Starting point is 00:54:44 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

Starting point is 01:03:39 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
Starting point is 01:03:54 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
Starting point is 01:04:08 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,
Starting point is 01:04:22 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.
Starting point is 01:04:31 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?
Starting point is 01:04:51 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.
Starting point is 01:05:11 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.
Starting point is 01:05:28 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,
Starting point is 01:05:44 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,
Starting point is 01:05:59 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.
Starting point is 01:06:13 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.
Starting point is 01:06:38 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
Starting point is 01:06:55 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.
Starting point is 01:07:13 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
Starting point is 01:07:34 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
Starting point is 01:07:47 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.
Starting point is 01:08:01 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.
Starting point is 01:08:27 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.

Starting point is 01:09:18 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
