It was, SZA should not be a 7. SZA is's a 10 seat. Let DJ speak his piece, yes. That's disrespectful. It was, SZA should not be a seven. SZA is never a 10 seat.

No, Ari was a 10. Ari is a 10. They're disrespectful. This, the committee, they didn't be fine, bro. Ari was a two seat. I don't know what he was doing with it. This is, selection committee got it wrong. All right, now this one is, this is your 15-2.

and have all the people guess? In the championship, I think we leave it in the championship. Okay, we leave it in the championship. Okay. Or do we let the final four simmer a little? We gotta let it to the final four. We gotta let that just ride for a second.

All right, you have Miami, Bernice, and then we got Dre and R. That is a fantastic Final Four. It's some one season that went down early that shouldn't. Just take it up with the selection committee. The season of this was not my favorite. All right, so now we're not gonna choose, but who would y'all like to see win the championship? I'm not choosin'. We'll find'all like to see win the championship? I'm not choosing.

We'll find out in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z. I think it's gonna be fucked up, cause y'all ragged it. Gotta catch more Pokemon. I'm going with the sleeper. I'm picking Bernie's Burgos to take it home. She ain't a sleeper. She could pick the one seed and win it all. She was more.

While we're here talking about the ACA tournament,

I pulled up a list of some of the worst first round losses in ACA history. I'm gonna go through, yeah, it got ugly. In 2024, number 14, Oakland beat Kentucky. I don't remember much about that game, but shout out to Kentucky taking that L. In 23, 16 verse one upset, Fairleigh Diggis had beat Purdue.

That was crazy. Wow. I remember that. Shout out to them. We never thought that there was ever gonna be a 16 seed to beat a one seed, and this happened twice since then. Yeah. Yeah, that was, that was the crazy game.

That's that's a different type of disappointment. Twenty three, I believe. But yeah, Brighton was there. That's a different type of disappointment. Yeah, that was it. I had a great team. They was open. I asked, too. That's when I was playing them. He's at the factory. Yeah, that was I was one of the boys thought they could win too.

For sure. In 2018, you got number 16, Yeah, that was, I was one of the boys that they could win too. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. In 2018, you got number 16 UMBC to beat Virginia the first time it ever happened. That shit was crazy. Considering all the NBA players that was on that Virginia team going forth after that, that's a hell of a loss to take.

Yeah. Definitely was. You got another one? Oh yeah, number 15, 2013 Florida Gulf Coast when they beat Georgetown. They made a whole school named after that. They was dunk you after that shit. That shit was fun though.

That was one of the more exciting teams. That's the fire part about like the tournament. You have two good games and you could turn your whole university up. Nah, for sure. That's what George Mason did too. Yeah, that went to the fucking final four. Yeah, I know.

They had those football players in there. They had a lot of football players, didn't they? On their team. They had a buddy that went to the Brabuff on their team. That nigga went from, he was starting point guard. Oh, wow. His name was Jordan, I think I remember his name. I think it was Jordan, he went to Brabuff though. He was starting point guard, had a fro.

Yep. George Mason. Damn, respect, shout him out. Yeah, I can't remember his name, bro. In 2012, Lehigh beat Duke. We all remember that game. Yeah, CJ McCungle went crazy. Coming out, party him out. Yeah, I can't remember his name, bro. In 2012, Lehigh beat Duke. We all remember that game. CJ McCungle. Crazy.

Coming out, party for sure. Nah, he wasn't done. Somebody else, I know that one wasn't the first round, but- Mercer. Mercer. Shout out to A. White. Shout out to Anthony White, man.

It took care of Duke too. 2012 as well. Two 15 match at Norfolk State beat Missouri. That's how my boy Kylo Quinn got drafted. Yep. He went crazy. That's crazy. 93, Santa Clara beat Arizona number two.

They had Steve Nash. That's crazy. What's y'all favorite college, like March Madness moment? Moment? Or, you know, just a run. Moms would be, my favorite run is probably. You know what? No, my favorite run is Florida Gulf Coast.

Just cause how fun it was. Like they was just having fun. They was wildin'. Or even when my man's from, what's his name, Coach Seaton Hall now. Shaheen? Yeah, they little run, they went on, that was dope too.

For sure. Damn, one of my favorite runs in college basketball, the Kimba stuff is too obvious, even though that was like super crazy as well, but I'm biased, I gotta go with that Louisville championship, bro. That was crazy. Like to have my team win a championship in my lifetime,

that shit don't be happening, bro. We gotta dub. And that Kevin Wiersch was crazy. That's some of the craziest shit that ever happened in college basketball. So for us to win that shit that year, that was crazy. Who's scoring big in the NBA this season? You are, with all the new ways to get in on the action

This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI, and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans?

It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god-damnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.

I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart podcasts and the National Hockey League, and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters,

and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say, and not just about hockey. Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast, and it's gonna be, well, it's gonna be quite the ride. We're officially line mates, Nate, we're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, Hall

of Famers, and wait to see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what Energy Lines are supposed do provide an emotional boost how do you feel about all that Nate? I'm vibing Julie I'm ready to roll. Listen to energy line with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah I'm gonna take I'm gonna take Mello and of course I'm taking my boy Shevon now.

Never ever seen a team like that running it back to back with two different squads. I'm gonna ask you this question, which one was crazier, the first one or the second one? First one. Even crazier than the second one? Because of Gordon's last shot. It still gets played today, bro.

Yeah, I thought he hit that shit. Like real shit. You know, we was in the building. Oh yeah, I was at the game. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We was there, bro. So that's for me, I think that run. And then I fuck with it because that run helps him.

He was not a lottery pick at the beginning of that year. Hell no. And that pushed him all the way into whatever, what do you go, nine or 11 or something like that? So that's my number one. I mean, Miller was a dog out the gate, but they started off bad too. But yeah, that brother run, Gordon Hayward,

yeah bro, it's number one. That shot is crazy still, bro. That's the greatest miss ever in college basketball. And it's crazy because that screener, man Howard said it was illegal as fuck. He didn't even tackle Buddy, but I was fucking with it. I was at that game, I popped some ball tickets at that game. I was still in roll that ball at the time.

And like, nobody from Duke around us said shit till that buzzer went off. That was one of the crazy games. Kyle Singler was crazy too. I mean, yeah, you will soon Kyle Singler, but that, he's amazing, bro. He's amazing. Most memorable shot for me is when

dude from Villanova hit that shot. That's one of the coldest moments ever in NCAA history. After the mark is three. Man, what? To pull up for three, the one that's like that. What's his name, Chris Jenkins? Yeah, here we go. Didn't Dante hit a big shot too?

I mean, take probably who, but. I think Dante hit a big shot too. But that game. Tell him how he hit a game winner. That was a big shot though, bro. Hell yeah, bro. That was a big shot. Especially after the shot that was already hit to top.

This is crazy. Yeah. For game nigga, bow. That's crazy. A walk off three for the national championship is fucking crazy bro. Nah, but I fuck with that. That was cold, but Mario Chalmers too.

You know what's crazy? People love D-Rose so much that we don't talk about that clip. Cause that's one of the coldest, March Maddest moments that we don't give a fuck because it was against Derrick Rose. Mario Chalmers did his thing, but that was a big, big shot.

Speaking of Russ, while he pulling up that clip, you talk about that Mello year, people don't talk about this enough. What D-Way did to Marquette in the tournament is absolutely insane too. Oh yeah. D-Way went crazy. Triple dub.

Bro, he was balling in the tournament. He became a household name after that. D-Way wanted to know. Yeah. This is crazy. Smack that bitch. Good shot too. I was pissed. Smack that bitch. I was pissed. Everybody was mad.

I don't know why I was pissed. I was in college at the time. I think I was just pissed because Kansas had, like Kansas is Kansas. Yeah, but during Arthur was raw, 25. Yeah, but I'm saying like Memphis, I just felt like they was for the people. Like they was hood.

They was us. Joanne, or CDR. He got, he's driving a retiree, so too shout out to my dog. Niggas was, we weren't Kansas, we was Memphis, bro. I was in college, so I wasn't none of these niggas. But I just didn't, like, I was just so used to. You could relate more though.

But I was just so used to like singing Kansas, like my whole life. Like you see Kansas, hear about Danny Manning and all these people. Kirk Heinrich and Nick Collison. Kentucky, like I never heard of Memphis. That's true. I hated Kansas.

I did fuck with Keith Langford though, cause he always wore heat. He got buckets, but I never liked Kansas. One of the coldest lefties to do it for sure. Drew Luthor. He's definitely the freshest Hooper. Him and PJ Tucker, in college he was fresher than PJ. Dang, you in too.

Ooh, dang. He was fresher than PJ in college. Keith Langford. Keith Langford had that shit. He had that shit. He was the freshest. And he was aggy too. And he changed his shoes at halftime,

so he wore two heaters every game. Yeah, Jermare Nelson was up there too. Yeah. They jerseys were leaking, they still made it work. Oh, they had the red and white though. They had red and white. They did, but it was white. Black and red, red and white.

They had, I remember they came out there in them Barclays, boy. Man, that's- You couldn't tell me I wasn't going to school and hooping in them Barclays. They was too influential, bro. And they're going to St. Joe's, like, it's crazy how people influence you.

Like, I really was influenced by them. I wore a t-shirt, I wore my socks like Mello. I wore a big t-shirt, because of them and Celine Stoudemire. It was crazy how college people used to influence you. It's not like that now. Because they're too accessible. Yeah, I don't think kids look at college players

and they're like, damn, I wanna be like that. That's a good question. I've never heard a kid, they go straight to the league. Straight league. I've never heard, in this generation, never heard a youngster say they want to be Adam Morrison or somebody like that. You saying Keith Langford and Delante West,

you know what I mean? I don't know if Keith Langford made it to the league, but Delante West wasn't no big, big name. He just fucked with the swag and he was cold. I don't know no cold college player that ain't really making a run in the NBA that kids are just locking in with. No, even now, it don't need something like this,

like the same excitement around it. It's like our age grouping up, love, March Madness, all the alumni shit, but like kids, they don't give a fuck about that. They tap me with OTE, they go about, she's like, oh, it's in the heartbeat. Don't give a damn about that two, 15 upset. Cause I feel like Jeremiah Fear's supposed to have fans.

He probably do got fans. Cause he was a young high schooler that people probably watched. But I'm just saying how like I fell in love with him. They don't got no game either. They don't have no video game either. We had March Madness. So on the way back, we had March Madness.

They're working on the bring it back, they got it in last round. That'd be hard, but. I was just too much of a fan of college athletes. Like even Iverson, before he got to the league. Come on, bro. In the 11s. And the Concords and like,

even them Georgetown jerseys and shit. And I could just keep going on and on about college. I was more of a college fan than I was an NBA fan. I didn't have any, I had one NBA jersey. That was Penny Hardaway. Damn, which one? It had the blue, one Magic, sky blue, light blue, whatever. Yeah.

I watched both. I just love college basketball because just the game too, bro. You could build your own school. Yeah. You know what I mean? Cheating, taking Alabama A&M all the way to the championship.

Building players. Well, I could just keep going on and on about players. Like even when I was younger, I wasn't a Fab Five dude. Like I ain't watching. Yeah, I didn't watch then. But like right after like Iverson came, then I used to watch Ed Cota and then I'm like,

damn, I'm gonna go to Carolina. I used to watch, can't remember his name and I met him. Ben Carter and Antoine Jameson, I used to play with them on March Madness. Who was the fat point guard from Yukon? Y'all, Khalid Alameen. Khalid Alameen. I used to look at Ben Gordon.

Ben Gordon's hooping in the 19s. I used to be like, damn. Yeah, Rudy Gay. I fucked with Rudy Gay. Legend. Like all them dudes, I used to be watching the McDonald's game, my buddy going up.

Damn. Yeah. Like when Steve Francis was at Maryland on March Madness, he was the coldest. Bro, what? Elite. My dad what? Elite. My dad loved college basketball. He used to like love a house. He used to like Michael Ray and Scooty Penn.

I remember watching him like kill. Like people wouldn't know who Scooty Penn was. That nigga was a dog. Yeah, he was. And Michael Ray was one of the underrated players in the NBA too. Steve Francis was so nasty at Maryland. Like I used to watch him.

I used to even watch, I used to watch Nick Carlson, Kirk Heinrich. Yeah, Wynadixon too. What was the Wynadixonixon too. What was the- Wyn Dixon was nice. What was the crash out? Hold on. What's my boy?

I met him in LA. No, no, no, the white boy. Steve Blake. Steve Blake. Yeah, he's like the OG. But they had a white dude. Hey, can you go to the Maryland team back when they had Steve Blake and Wyn Dixon? They had a white dude, I think he was like number 33.

He was cool too, he damn near was a lefty. So it'd be 2000, 2001 maybe. Yeah, he damn near was a lefty. He ain't making it to the league, but I used to fuck with him on the game too. Like he was cool. When his name pop up, I'm gonna be hype because I used to fuck with him on the game.

I used to fuck with her boyfriend, see, stay to the lefty wing. Shit, I can't think of that. C.J. Leslie? Nope. Nah, they too, you know, ain't younger than me. Damn, I can't remember his name. C.J. Leslie? Nope. Nah, they too, you know, they younger than me. Damn, I can't remember his name. You talking about Julius Hodge, you know?

Julius Hodge, for sure. You say he was white? Yeah. Danny Miller? Nah, just name some of the white boys. Everybody else is black. Nah, maybe it's a little bit after that. Matt Slanks?

Nah, maybe he a couple years later then. Terrence Morris? Nah, he black a couple years later. He might've just played with him. La'Ron? Sefus. Yeah. These are all niggas. Yeah.

Go to a year, I think his name starts with an M, like Mac, uh, something. It's like 2000? Yeah, go like 2030. Oh, three. That's crazy, man, how that didn't stay up until they were with us, man. Like, we looked forward to that shit.

And people made a name off that time period. And even if you didn't make it nowhere, you would still somebody because you killed in the tournament. Yeah, kids don't know about like that. Nah, hell no. Y'all go with the listeners. Wheelbowers. No, 84, oh five, shit.

Oh five. Shit, even some, I'm trying to think of some UK players. Joe Crawford, Rob. Joe Crawford was nice. Jody Meeks. Yeah, Jody. Jody was my year, he made all American team. Jody Meeks was a fucking bucket.

These are the same like Dave Neal? Man, hell no, I dunked on him. You did. Damn, I was five. I was gonna say everybody on this team. Man, go to 2000. Hope you doing well, Dave. You caught a shoot.

Is that your favorite highlight? You can do 2000, 2001, let's do the 2002. I'm gonna find him, don't worry about it. Cause that's a crazy highlight. When I dunked on Dave Neal. You know why I so, I like, I don't I'm a finding, don't worry about it. Cause that's a crazy highlight when I dumped on Dave Neal. You know why I so, I like, I don't like that day. I don't care. But the whole game, he was talking shit.

It was a senior night. So he's talking crazy. Like, you know, he was one of the better teams in the country at that time. But they had like our number a little bit. Like we never played good against Maryland. So to start the game, he was playing good. It was senior night.

He was having a moment. I ain't gonna lie, he was playing good as fuck. And he was like a fat chubby, no offense. He just wasn't a hoop. Like he don't think of him as a hooper. So he was having a good night and he was taking charges the whole game. You know what I mean?

He step in, he take a charge. And we like, man, he undercutting us and shit. So when I ripped baseline and went and I punched on him, I'm like, yeah, bitch. And I started going crazy and shit. And his game was fucked up after that. When I tell you he was having a moment on senior night, I'm telling you, he probably had 12 in the first

six, eight minutes. It was violent. And I punched on him. It was a wrap. You dunking on him every single night is crazy. Yeah, fucked up his senior night. Fuck Maryland. The universe and not the state. But that's even though they in a big 10 now.

Even though I like y'all young freshmen on that team. Yeah, he nice, but still fuck y'all. My boy Jeff Green was called to a Georgetown. He nice, but still fuck y'all. My boy Jeff Green was called to at Georgetown. What, he was like- Jeff Green was a nasty Wayne. Antonio Freeman? Yeah, I can't talk about-

Austin Freeman. Austin Freeman, Austin Freeman is from, I think Austin Freeman from that DC area. Austin Freeman was a bucket. Yeah, he played on DCSR. Yeah. Kings raw. Speaking of college basketball,

I got a new head coach, West Virginia. Darian DeVries, wherever that is. He's from the Midwest, you know what I'm saying? One of your boys just wrote me, bro. So hopefully, you know, hopefully you come in and do what you're supposed to. Yeah, good, you know what I'm saying? Good luck to you.

Hopefully not get well soon, because that's typically what happens. Is IU job too, like, are they asking for too much from their coaches? Money, all that money involved now. So shit, somebody gotta go. Damn. That's what it is for real, bro. It wasn't Matt Hahn, was it?

Don't worry, bro, I'm looking at, as you looking at it. He's just trying to fight his name. Who is that? He didn't play there from 1998 to 2007. Made him into every team. Bro. Since prohibition, just trying to fight this player to 2007. Made him into every team. Since prohibitions, you're trying to fight this player to see. Man, I swear to God, when I seen him. Oh boy, just, why he doing that?

A boy just put his name in the portal. Oh, Game Cubs. Look, Indiana's like a job that you, it's a really good job with harsh critics. Right? I mean, that's any job, but like, nobody, I shouldn't say nobody, they can get players, but it's not an exciting place to play. You don't get your name on the back of your jersey.

The crowd's gonna be good, the school's lit, but it's just not, it haven't caught up with the Toms. Yeah. It's still like nostalgia. Everything about the Hoosiers is like nostalgia. Like Bobby Knight, we still work Candy Canes. We still, Indiana on your chest, fuck the name on the back.

But these kids don't give a damn about that. At all. I wanna get paid and I want my name on the back. I wanna be lit. And you have to have a coach that's with the Toms. Yeah. But they never, they never speed up with the Toms. In the end, they still stuck in Hoosiers. It's tradition over everything there.

Like they canceled, they fear God jerseys this year. No, we not wearing that shit. That's what I'm saying, like, that's ass, bro. And they have one of the best like Adidas programs and they can't even like fully use it because they're traditional. Like we not gonna sauce it up. I thought Woody was getting a blend of that though.

I guess not. Nah, they don't salsa it up enough. They're like, y'all can give money, but y'all don't salsa it up. Y'all make it a pillar for kids that wanna go there. Even when I was getting recruited, I ain't wanna go to IU. Like it was, Kevin Sampson was dope.

Yeah. But still like, when I went to the school, the school fun is here. Oh boy, you'd enjoy it. You know you'd enjoy it. Yeah, the school fun is here, but Kelvin Sampson made it cool. I ain't gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie with you. Cause of Kelvin Sampson. Y'all the Kip Roy's on Tuesday. Nah, nah. Only cause of- What's that shit that girls groups? Only cause of- Y'all to the group hoes.

Only cause Kelvin Sampson, bro. Kelvin cause of- What's that shit that girls groups? Only cause of- Down to the group hoes. Only cause Kelvin Sampson, bruh. Kelvin Sampson made it. Kelvin Sampson made it appealing, bro. Like he brung a attitude and a vibe to it where you like, look at Houston. Who the fuck was going to Houston till Kevin Sampson got there? Nah, it's true.

They wouldn't live to since five Slimma Jamma. Damn Houston. Who was going to Houston before Calvin Simpson got there? It may not have been no top, but Houston had something to give. But it was a place with a lot of transfers. It had nothing to give. It was a transfer school.

I'm in Houston. Now you going to IU, them kids like, damn, this is Bloomington, Indiana. Nah, but I'm saying like, before Calvin Simpson getting there, they got a top 10 recruit going to Houston. Yeah. You want no top 10 recruit.

It was all, I sit the bench at some school and I transferred to Houston. You know what I mean? But you got top five dudes going to top 10. No, I see what you're saying. I'm just saying. McDonald's, I'm going to Houston. Off the Ripper?

Yeah, that's all Kevin Simpson. I'm trying to think of another school like IU. Maybe like St. John's or something. But I don't know. That's, shout out to Kelvin Sampson. What year are you in? Oh, well, too. He's gonna show up on this player, it's hilarious.

I'm gonna find you a nah. And what's so crazy about the Indiana schools and I know in particular, like we have some of the best talent as far as high school basketball in the world and they can barely win Indiana. I think that that's crazy. If Indiana was a Nike school,

more kids would go there from here. Oh, facts. But that's the fucked up part about it. But it's just the way they, the vanity behind it is just lost. It ain't even never was a Nike school. It's just the way they present shit. Like you said, they had a fire fear guy set up

and they don't use the fear guy. You know what I mean? Like why wouldn't y'all want that collaboration? Like Miami shit was fire heat. Like it's just different. I don't know. But shout out to them. Yeah man. Yeah. Well, listen man, this fan base is not going to give you no favors, but I- There you go. His name is Nick Caner Medley. That's him right there. I said that. Nick Caner Medley.

N-I-K? Yeah. Yeah. That motherfucker was nice. He wore 22. He was a shooter? I don't know what the fuck. I just remember him from Maryland.

You fucked with him? Yeah, I fucked with him. Okay, respect. Nick Caner Medley. What year was he there? This was 2003, 2004. Okay, my fresh. And Caner, man. What year was he there? This was 2003, 2004. Okay, Mark Fresh. And I was 12 points.

Yeah, he was decent, bro. He was a college, definitely. I remember, Mark's man is, fuck. Resonantly solid. For sure. We got another request on Twitter about you. There's a video of you pointing at Blake Griffin in the playoffs when he stepped

over Yonis. Do you remember that? My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,

and the god-damnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it.

I am bro. I'm like bro. You feel turn to Eek when you play basketball? Yeah bro. When it comes to basketball, like anything else in life, like I don't get, I don't care. Like I think everything else is a joke. Now that's not, it's not, it's Ness in Milwaukee.

It's like, it's a playoff game. He stepped over Yanis. Like if you see me in person and you come talk shit to me, I probably start laughing. I'll be like, yo, he really wanna fight. That's crazy. But if you touch me, I'm probably gonna go crazy.

But I'm just saying like, you really was like, yo, you a bitch. I'll probably be like, yo, he really think I'm a bitch. That's crazy. Like, that thing is hilarious. So that's what Blake Griffin did? I don't know, but on the court, he probably said someone did something I ain't like.

And I love Blake Griffin. I swear to God, Blake Griffin, one of the coolest dudes. Shout out to Blake. As you can ever meet, he's a super cool dude. But he probably just did something I ain't like. Yeah, he had stepped over Yandis. Oh, I probably was on that. You was looking at him crazy, I do.

And then you pointed at anybody, walked away, and you saw, it was fucking hilarious. Shout out to it. I probably had you honest, because nigga, you Blake used to be that nigga. You know you not fucking with him, stop. Especially when you was on the nets, nigga. Your knees was like mine.

And your knees is, you got it. A little bit. Yeah. What are you doing? Yeah, you wildin'. Nets nigga your knees was like my and your knees is you got Yeah, what do you do? Yeah, you wildin Yeah, but he just found out the game soon. So I fucked with it. Yeah, fuck it. Get your money's worth Blake. Like this TA. Oh, oh, wait, what? TA, I rolled for my nigga. TA come do the show, man. I rolled for you.

I even know you was on that. T.A. look like he died. Like shot T.A. He went and get up with his son Blake. Cause why you on the ground? What did you do to be on the ground? But nah, you didn't have to do all that. So, matter of fact, I do remember that play.

He wild out on T.A. But I remember that play. He wild out on T.A. He was bugging. But if you my teammate, the one thing I'ma do, I like, if I'm in the room, like we be all, we became teammates basically. So if something happened to y'all, I'ma go crazy.

Like we somewhere, and a nigga push, I'm like, yo, I'ma turn the fuck up. And I have been around him for four or five weeks now. And like that was unnecessary. Like, you know what I mean, what you doing? Damn. Like why we doing that? I got to know.

Tell you the truth. That was. Damn, Blake, was Blake good on Brooklyn? He was playing hard. So now you talking to KD? Oh, you went past it. I don't know Blake's good on with him. That's funny.

I remember KD said, he said, what you doing T? You ain't even on that. I already said that. Look. That boy Blake, I know why he was crashing out. It had nothing to do with TA. I'm a, the guy ain't a ho. What the fuck they thought I was on the west side of NAP.

The guy ain't going for none of that shit. On me. What's funny about that is they was laughing. They was just like, damn, after the Nixon Warriors game, everybody went and depped up Draymond. They was like, and Kat just walked to the total. I was like, man, after the Knicks and Warriors game, everybody went down to dream on. They was like, and Kat just walked to the total. I was like, man, you ain't supposed to shake his hand after that game.

Dream on this game. Y'all like for game. Y'all supposed to say, fuck you. But like, where my niggas at? Look at that, man. I heard, don't let this nigga 6'10". The packhouse said, fuck you. Damn.

Shout out to Joe Harris, man. Like what? I heard, T.A., you owe me one. Matter of fact, I need my 20, that was a $5,000 check because I had one earlier. Matter of fact, I need my money back. Oh, that's tough. $5,000 for that. KD made me laugh though. He was like, y'all losing, what you on? Y'all down 30.

You in the game. I was like, damn. I am in the game. I am in the game. I am in the game. I am in the game. I am in the game. I am in the game. I am in the game. He made me laugh though. He was like, y'all losing. What you on? Y'all down 30. You in the game. I was like, damn. I am in the game. Who am I?

Who am I? You know how many technical files you had in the NBA? I had 30, 35. They just say 11. Oh, damn. That's a big gap, nigga. Now what? That you working with them people?

11? I had some injections though. I mean- Who do you think you got the most sex with? Timberwolves for sure. That big guy, Ted the Profound Spongebob. For sure, Timberwolves. You got a record explosion.

First to get a sex wipe. I didn't have that many with Atlanta. I had a lot with the Timberwolves. Oh, no, no, no, I lied. You had four with Atlanta. You had four with Atlanta, three with the Timberwolves. Do they cost the Oh, no, no, no, I lied. You have four with Atlanta. You have four with Atlanta, three with the Timberwolves. Do they cost the same every time?

Mm-mm, they go up. The year, the more you get in the year. So if your first one was like $25,000 in a second, it'll go up. That made me think of Rashid Wallace. My boy. Ah, them niggas lost a lot of money. My boy gave back.

Him, Dwight Howard. I remember, Dwight got suspended for drugs. Same on. They gave him a lot of money. Luca. Damn, Luca be getting them like thatod. They were getting a lot of money. Luca. Damn, Luca be getting them like that. Luca was going crazy a couple years ago. Wow.

My first tech ever in the NBA was with Sebastian Telfair. We was beating they ass. Now I subbed in the game as a rookie. I'm guarding him, he was playing in Minnesota. He made a move, I guard him well. You know how a nigga, y'all know, y'all don't know, but when you a rookie, niggas just try you for no reason. Like, nigga, fuck out of here, nigga, you ain't good.

Nigga, he like, and I locked him up. We get to the bottom of the, under the rim. He just pushed me. Nigga, I was like, what the fuck? What the fuck is you doing? He like, nigga, I, fuck you up, nigga. You can't walk in New York, nigga. He's like, nigga, you're done.

Like, yeah, you're outta here. Nobody even believe you, nigga. I liked you when you was in high school. Like, you know what I mean? Now we just talking. He like, nigga, fuck you up, nigga. And Josh Smith like, no, that nigga really crazy. Like, when I go to the bench, he like,

no, that nigga crazy. He was like, you ain't no ho though, but nigga really crazy. When I go to the bench, he like, no, that nigga crazy. He was like, you ain't no ho though, but that nigga crazy. Then, you know, I'm not even know you lose money. So I get to the bench, Jamal Crawford like, man, you talking to that nigga, we beating him by 30. He just lost 2,500. Nigga, what?

Like that nigga, what? He like, yeah, they fine you when you get texts. I'm like, oh hell no. Like this nigga, we beat y'all by 30. Why you fucking with me? It's all good though. That's 2500. That's a sick ass fine.

Yeah, I was pissed nigga. That hit different back then. I was on my rookie deal, nigga. That's a 2500. Shout out to Bassey though. He just took away my trip to Magic City. They be know you in the comments, they like, we're tired of T's talking about his rookie year,

like he is working at the factory. It was. They say, your rookie year, your pay scale was more enough for you than I eat at the mall. It wasn't though, cause you got a thing, you got a budget and you coming from a, I was coming from an environment

where we ain't had no money like that. So somebody saying, yo, you got $3,000 a month to do what you want. That shit sound like a lot to you on a road every day and you going somewhere. You a gazillionaire. Yeah, $3,000, you used that so fast. That ain't.

That's a trip to the store. You go to the store and buy some food. Yeah, $3,000 a month, that is tough in your lifestyle. Nigga, what? Like, it was crazy. But you to be able to manage that though is. Cause that was what I needed. You know, me and my parents, we like, yo,

you don't need much, yo, that wasn't like including my bills and shit. So it was like, yo, just for my parents, we like, yo, you don't need much, yo. That wasn't like including my bills and shit. So it was like, yo, just for you to spend, like, 3,000. Every month you just go out, get some, you know, buy some shoes, get some clothes, whatever you wanna do. I'm like, all right. For sure. That shit started like, hold on, I'm the eight.

Yeah, because you was in Atlanta. Nah, yeah. Now if you was in Utah, you'd probably been different. Luckily my rookie year I had great vets, so I never had to pay for nothing. Like if I went out to the club, if I wanted clothes, they gave me they per diem, so it wasn't enough for me to buy shoes

and I wore Nike shit all the time. Like they bought me suits and shit when I needed to do. So it was like cool, but I thought 3000 was a lot to lot. The middle of the season, I'm like, damn one table is 1500, that's half of my month. Like, whoa. And that's in a comfortable city. You weren't in New York, you weren't in LA.

Nah. 1500 table, 15,000. No fuck. Nah. That's why. 15 on our table, 15,000. I did as you get up. Mike, why are you watching? I'm watching on the time you got ejected.

I swear, if that Ricky Rubio video has a billion views, I gave it a billion. That's one of my favorite videos of all time, bro. Every time I got ejected, I was like, whooping. I was having great ass games. I know I was whooping. It was a third quarter. Why was you crashing out?

I don't know, bro. I told you I just had these moments where I just, what happens to this game? I don't even know this one. That ain't me. They just got the title. All girls say damn. I don't know, I just had moments where I just.

That is funny, man. Fuck everything. Can you remember a teammate that you had that had a lot of texts that you played with and they just like damn. Ivan Johnson had a lot of texts. My dog. Yeah, he had a lot of texts.

I can believe that. Josh Smith had a lot of texts. I guess we're gonna talk crazy with ref for sure. I can see that. Yeah, he had a lot of tits. Shout out to J Smoove, man. Did you see Morris Swin? He went in the pocket talking about Dora Morey.

No, what'd he say? Basically he was just like, I can't trust Dora Morey because this man is using AI to make decisions about basketball. Damn, for real? Yeah, he basically saying like- Jack GBT. He used Jack GBT to construct this roster based on analytics and shit. decisions about basketball. Damn, for real? Yeah, he basically saying like. Jad GBT. He used Jad GBT to construct this roster

based on analytics and shit. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there are a lot of people, but a bunch of. That's the game though. Nah, that was, that happened with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Literally, they used analytics for everything. I told you I got, the reason I got traded because I shot a mid-range jumper.

I remember. Yeah. So I remember I came in the locker room. We're down at, we're going into half, and I had to shoot it. The shot clock was going on. And I shot a mid-range jump shot, and I actually made it.

I'm having a decent game. Going to the locker room. You kind of can hear people yelling, we down, you can hear people yelling back and forth. He was like, he just don't want to fucking buy in. I'm gonna get his ass out of here. I'm like, what the fuck is he talking about? Who the fuck, what happened?

I'm thinking the coaches, I'm like, what the fuck? As we walk out, coach tells me, come on, Jeff, man, you just have to buy in. Like the fucking what? Like we don't play defense. We the worst defense team in the fucking league. What the fuck are we talking about defense for? He was like, man, you shoot those floaters

in these mid-range shots, like step behind the line and shoot the three. And I didn't shoot a bunch of three. I wasn't like a volume three-point shooter. That's what hurt me a little bit. As I got older, I started shooting more three. I got to Boston, I shot threes. But if I would have shot 10 threes a game in Minnesota,

they would have been happy. That just what me at that time. I came to the league at a different time. I just didn't transition to that yet. They was just like, yeah, we gotta get you the fuck out of here. Like, you're not a part of what we wanna go. And I used to just think like, I hope Minnesota lose every fucking ass.

I forgot the dude that was a GM name. He came from Houston. He came from Darrell Maury and all that. The coaching tree. Yeah, so he came from that whole GM thing. That's what they thought. Analytics, more threes, layups and free throws. So I just, when I left, every time Minnesota lost,

like I just went out and had a great time. I did. I used to be like. That fucked the game up though. It did bro. And it eliminated a lot of people's positions that were good basketball players. Yeah.

Like we talked about, damn, what's the dude, he's playing for the Madness right now, Geographer, that analytics killed his game because he could have been skilled. He still contribute. That was bad, bad time. But he didn't shoot so it was like, fuck it. My Lord, that was a bad time.

Analytics murder people game. It took, that was, analytics took me out. Not really. And you can shoot though, that's the crazy part. My knees took me out. But analytics kind of, it kind of made the game weird. Like, cause it's like Chris Paul is one of the best mid-range point guards and ever.

And you see him, when people who don't go off analytics, okay, see, just start letting Chris Paul be Chris Paul again. And he's shooting them mid-range shots and he being great and they team win 12, 15 more games because of him. It's like, y'all analytics is off. Yeah.

Like it might be a better shot, whatever, but he just want 15 more games doing what he do. It's just like my eyes tell me the truth. Here we go. My eyes tell me the truth. Like analytics is cool. I watched Charlotte, I shoot a hell of threes. I watch it and it's bad.

But then you watch Boston, they shoot 63s. And it's like. But then you watch OKC, you watch Shea, you watch DeMar DeRozan who is different. Now I was gonna ask you that again. If SGA didn't average starting, he averaged 16, would they feel differently about him taking as many mid-range shots as he does?

Of course they would. Okay. Yeah, cause he'd be fucking the game up. But then you watch Boston and they winning these games shooting 63s and it's like, they getting more threes up than us. How can we beat a team? Cause if they get hot and they go 38 for 60,

you don't have a fucking chance. You're cooked. Cause when they shot 70 when we did play back. It was great hit 20 and didn't give a fuck. Yeah. And it's just like analytics tell you that that's a better shot. But when my eyes tell me it's like, Jason Taylor can get to the basket.

Like you're 16, you can take this little dude to the basket. And that's where my eyes tell me and that's when the playoffs start, my eyes gonna tell me a lot. That's why I'm scared what the Lakers can possibly do cause Brian don't play analytics. He showed, he shoot more threes than he ever did now. Most definitely.

But that's with age too, but when it's like, time to get to it, trying to take your ass to the basket. And that's where it's going to get interesting in the playoffs. I don't know man, cause Boston, that's what. Bro, we watched Drew, we watched Drew Holiday

have wide open lips and throw it. Coulda doneg said no. Three balls. He looked like Terry Roger out there. He was doing, he did the Ben Simmons one time. Yeah. Kicked it out. He did do that.

He did do that. He like, shoot the lap. He kicked it out for a three. So it's been a pioneer in analytics or did he freeze up in the moment? Cause now we got to put the respect up there. You're 16, you had a lot of dunk. He was just earlier in the wave,

y'all wasn't tapped in yet. No, he kicked it to another nigga to shoot free throws. Yeah, that was- If he would've kicked it for a three, I'd be like, you might be on or something. But that nigga kicked it to another nigga to shoot the free throws. Well, he could've just dunked it, but-

I can't wait to see the type of year he have next year. He is. Why do y'all keep saying that? He's not in here right now. He's dead, bro. He ain't right now. What happened? Where's Barbi at now? He's in the Clippers He ain't right now. What? Where's Barbie at?

He's in the Clippers. I'm having a really good time, man. He's not. My drink is empty. He's not, Barbie! Barbie, it's the first time I like your drink. Second time. She's gone?

Yeah, we only paid Barbie. We paid Barbie about a minute. She! The crazy part is, she literally texted me and was like, should I stay for the next episode? Are they going to drink? You get paid enough. I was like, I don't know. I think you'd be okay. Yeah, we pay her about it. Yeah, let's shave that in voice down. She's literally like outside. Well, is that her right here? That's her outside. I'll tell her bring her ass back in.

For sure. I'll pay her about a minute. Interesting. I know you, Fiddlestick, Jabari, Naled. Listen, I want to hear more from Jabari Parker. I know he's still hooping, but whenever he gets down to want to talk, I would love to hear more from him. I would love to speak to Jabari Parker. Most definitely. And I played, he was a teammate of mine before. Oh for real? In Atlanta, my second time when I was double zero. Oh, okay. He was there. He the realest. You know why he the realest? When I first walked in the locker room, he laughed. You know, I'm a clown. He's like, T, I'll fuck with you. I know you since you, I was a kid.

I was like, damn, for real. You know what I mean? Like you from Indiana. I'm like, damn, appreciate that. He was like, you came to a fucked up team. And I love why you say that. He's like, oh, you know why me and Evan don't play? I'm like, why y'all don't play?

They told us we can only play 14 minutes. He was like, that's it. I'm like, damn, they told you that? He was like, why y'all don't play? They told us we can only play 14 minutes. He was like, that's it. I'm like, damn, they told you that? He was like, yeah. He was like, you about to have that meeting? Just watch. These dudes just lifting weights. Evan was big as hell.

Evan was like a wrestler, bro. I'm like, damn ET, you big as fuck. He like, nigga, all I do is lift weights every day, nigga. I ain't gotta go to the games. This nigga didn't even have to go to the games. Chandler Parsons on the team. I never even seen this nigga. Wow.

He was on the team. They like, Chandler Parsons got a car wreck. He don't come to the games. He don't do nothing. I'm like, damn, he on the team? ET was like, he's never coming. Jabari Parker, all he did was lift, shoot shots. ET just lift weights.

Jabari like, he about to talk to you. No lie, me LP, he was like, yo, I can holla at you T. Jabari shoes, I told you. I go upstairs, tell me you got 19 minutes. That's it. You won't go over, you won't go, you won't be under. It's gonna be exactly 19.

That's what you got here again. I'm like 19, I'm like, 19. I like so if I'm half, I'm killing. I got 30. He's like, you get 30 in 19 minutes. You're a bad motherfucker. And you would not play over that. Literally, that was it.

You averaged 18.2 minutes. Are you kidding me? I am not fucking lying. Jabari Parker averaged 13.8. I'm not lying, bro. How much average? Y'all think I make this shit up. I don't make it fucking lying bro. Jabari Parker averaged 13.8 points. I'm not lying bro. Y'all think I make this shit up. I don't make it up bro. They literally told me it was like,

you won't go under or you gonna be right there. I was like, so I could just be having a night. And he was like, brother. I wonder why that is though. But you know what's up? Because they was developing the young dudes. But don't take my moment away. Let me keep my average, but if I'm killing loose,

let me kill bro. Nah, they wasn't. I'm wearing doubles even. They wasn't on that bro. Let me maximize this. I already can't get my number back, I gotta let me cook my game. And I'm already top 20 in school,

and let me try to get to at least 18. My boys should have been top 15, they was hating. They wouldn't let you hoop, and I understood it. I got it, they was trying to develop the young guys. At that time, it was Trey, Cam, DeAndre, Kevin Herder, John Collins, they had all these young dudes. I'm like, cool. Shout out to Chillin Parsons.

He got a chick, never came to the gym, legend. He is a legend. Wait, I seen Jabari, I ain't believe him at first. I'm like, nah, they like, you about to sign back here? So when I first got there, Atlanta offered me an extension. Soon as I got there, like, yo, we gonna extend you for the next year. You gonna do it?

So I'm like, you know, talking, y'all really fucked my money up. Jabari, Evan, all them. Cause I could have just signed the next, you know, the one year deal. And I've been locked in, it was like six million, five or six million or something. So when I was there, I'm like, yeah, you know me and Gerald, I was waited out.

We didn't know COVID was about to happen. So we like, ah, you, cause I was killing and I was having a good games off in Minnesota off the bench. I was average like 13, 14. So they like, that's quality off the pond. Boy, you know, you're gonna get more than that. And then he was like, going to Atlanta really gonna hurt you.

You're gonna be a good six man. So I should have signed it. Yeah, you should have. Yeah, well, they like, yeah. They are like, man, you probably get it. You know, we ain't no COVID was gonna happen. But anyway, they was like, you don't wanna come back to this shit.

And when I was playing 19 minutes, I ain't wanna come back to this shit. And when I was playing 19 minutes, I ain't wanna come back to that shit. That is crazy, bro. I was like, nigga, it ain't nothing you can do to get on the court. That's crazy.

They was looking, literally looked at you and was like, no. And I remember, shouts to my nigga ET. His last game, like he ain't played in months. They want a trading, right? But ET, you're dressing tonight. His last game, like he ain't played in months. They want to trade him, right? But ET, you're dressing tonight. ET, he's so big, he put his jersey on, bro. This nigga looks crazy.

He looks like, I'm like, damn nigga, he got his jersey on, I'm fucking crying. He like, and he hoops. He has a good gang, right? He's traded the next morning. What number was ET in the whole game? I think he was one. I need that jersey.

What, and that was he rolling? I think he was one. I think he was one. I think Evan was one. I think Evan was one. It was a Boston, we played Boston, and ET actually played good. Wow.

I think I passed it to him, he hit a shot at like the end of quarter one time. And I was like, damn. And that's when we got super cool, right there, that moment right there. Then I went to Boston and we just became. Oh, y'all locked in in the A. Yeah.

Oh, I thought y'all locked in in Boston. Nah, we got super cool. I mean, we knew each other from high school, but we got super cool in Atlanta, cause it was just like, that three weeks I got with him, before he got traded, he was just being real. And then we got in Boston, it was just like that three weeks I got with him before he got traded, he was just being real. And then we got in a boss and it was just easy. For sure man.

Jabari came out and basically said, people are looking at him like a sad story because of injuries. He was like, my life ain't no failure. He's like, I went to NBA, I made millions of dollars. I took my family out the hood. I changed generations. I changed my lineage.

I'm living great. I played basketball for a living. Like I ain't. I changed my lineage. I'm living great. I played basketball for a living. Like I ain't no sad story. Yeah, I got hurt, but I did something that a lot of people don't do. And a lot of people who criticize me can never accomplish the things I accomplish.

That's a fact. If he don't get hurt, he gets a hundred million dollars. Come on, bro. He was having 20 points for it towards A.C. He got cheated. They got Giannis to be his complimentary piece. People forget that. Jabari Parker was one of them for sure.

Still is called for sure. He definitely got cheated out of his career. He don't tear his ACL, he's a hundred million dollar man. The bucks are totally different franchise because they gonna keep him and Jabari. Facts, well said man. Shout out to Jabari, need you on the pod for sure. All right man, before we get out of here,
