Starting point is 00:02:55 These is my babies right here. I fuck with these. Shattered backboards, fire. I almost got the bullshit ones. Which ones you got? Which ones are the other? These are reverse shattered backboards. The shattered backboards about to come out, but they ain't got the bullshit ones. Which ones you got? Which ones are the other? These are reverse Shutterback boys. The Shutterback boys about to come out,
Starting point is 00:03:07 but they ain't got the same. Nah, which ones I got? The all patent leather, orange and black, what's them called? Oh, with the, that's the 3.0s. Ah, damn them. They're on their team Jordanette. That's the 3.0s, crazy. Yeah, by the time they got to 3.0,
Starting point is 00:03:20 you know what I'm saying, they got a little wicked. Yeah, you got it. Got a little wicked, yeah. I got the bull shit. No, they're not bull shit. I mean, people- I fuck with them. I bought one because I liked them.
Starting point is 00:03:30 People fuck with those, but that was the only pair that you could have walked in the finish line to get. Well, JD Sports did. I just liked the colorway. I didn't know nothing about them. People love the shadowback. I got them too, though. They ain't popping like that.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Well, you got something in your throat, don't you? Well, Malcolm and they're dying. I don't know if y'all heard that, but you're well soon to my boy. Yeah, those was far that the original colorway is coming back out in a couple of weeks and people are real mad because it said it's not the same quality.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Those are some of the best quality made Jordans in a very long time period, the Shattered Backboards. People been complaining about Jordans a lot though. I don't know what they got to complain about recently. They said the 10s is me. The steel 10s? Because they don't like the toe cap. I'm getting them though. I'm people.
Starting point is 00:04:10 You are you niggas right now? I mean. What's the beef though? What's wrong? They didn't, to me, 2000, what was that? 13 when they came out? Yeah. 2013, like that was my first pair in 2013.
Starting point is 00:04:22 So I like the original pair to me. Even though the original, original pair had the toe caps. Yeah, I had the 04 or 05 joints. Those were piff. All the tens that came out that year was fire. The white and reds, the white, gray and purple. They had some heat. But I mean, listen, man,
Starting point is 00:04:38 if you're complaining about Jordans this year, you really just don't like Jordans. They have given us every single retro we could ask for. We getting grapes and aquas weeks apart. We got fours, we got threes. They sad. Submit fours you could just go get, bro. Two years ago, that shoe is selling out.
Starting point is 00:04:52 It's probably $400 on resale. As a whole though, is the 10s one of the weakest Jordans? I'm not mad 10s. So far as your colorways and stuff? It's not a lot of them. They ain't got a lot of colorways, but they had some fire color waves when they did drop though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:05 The charcoal tins, piff. Yeah. The all black tins, I ain't mad at those. They don't have a lot of color waves, but they simple shoes. They don't do too much colors on them. Now the city color waves and stuff, I'm kind of cool. But like even like those, the Seattles, crazy.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Okay. Orlando Magic, crazy. Tins look like a real basketball shoe though. Like. Is it a good hoop shoe? Yeah, they cool to hoop in. They like the generics on 2K. It's just a hoop shoe. You really can't get, I mean, people wear them.
Starting point is 00:05:37 But like- It'd be hard to style them for real. Nah, I mean, you got hoop shorts and shit. You can always get fresh with some teens in a sweatsuit. You can always get right, but- Jeans, you just, you completely wrong. You can always get fresh with some tens and a sweatsuit. You can always get right, but. Jeans, you just, you completely wrong. Nah, nigga rocking jeans with them, they better than me. Yeah, it's different.
Starting point is 00:05:50 All black fit with some tens. It's spooky. You wildin'. You wildin'. I ain't never really seen a nigga get fresh with some jeans with the tens on. But like, even- If they have, they cold.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Yeah, it's happened before, but the tens and the sweatsuit, that's crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the sweatsuit with the tens as always. But that, that's crazy. Yeah, yeah, sweatsuit with the 10s as always. But that, that's weird. Like that right there, that's nasty. That's nasty. Mmm, nasty. The pinwheel, all right.
Starting point is 00:06:13 The pinroll jeans, you know. That's not it, bro. What the, that's crazy. I respect. But on women's feet, 10s look fire. Yeah, anything on a woman foot is smaller foot. Not you big foot motherfuckers. Anything seven to under is probably hiring.
Starting point is 00:06:31 What's the cutoff in? I ain't gonna lie, depending on the bill, bro, probably a nine, nine and a half. Damn. If your girl wear a 10, but then she like, if she five, eight, and wear like a nine, nine and a half, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:06:47 You can't be five two and wear a nine and a half. Yeah, that's crazy. A lot of y'all be surprised bro, a lot of the chicks got big ass feet on the low. Well, me and Mike used to work at Foot Locker. We used to see them all the time. Yeah, I'm saying, so what was the average size for a woman that y'all used to see?
Starting point is 00:07:03 Grade school for sure. I was gonna say, you know what I'm saying? You don't really get too much out of grade school, but you catch a couple of them in there. At Benara, you got the size 13s back there. After that, seven and a half, eight. Yeah, once you can't fit in grade school no more. Yeah, what we doing?
Starting point is 00:07:17 Yeah, which is an eight and a half in women's. Jesus Christ, that just depends on the build. My wife is also five, eight y'all, and she wears a size nine, nine and a half. See, and I didn't know that. That makes sense though. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I thought y'all was crazy.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Exactly. They kinda do though. Calm down. I seen her with them Crocs on, I was like, oh damn. Yeah, nine and a half Crocs. I was like, you got Mike Crocs on? All Crocs. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:07:42 You ain't going to grab the bill. Don't put them on. She fit them comfortable. I might want to go size up, baby. While we're here, we just talking about, she don't know how we got here. But so Paula wore them damn Louis Vuitton Birkenstock looking shits, right? And she wore them to see her cousin house.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Like relax. Why you got like, why you can't just say somebody, somebody wore some Birkenstock. We got to Ciara's cousin house. Like relax. Why you got like, why can't you say somebody, somebody wore some Birkenstock? What's Paula's fault? What's Paula's fault? And like Ciara was just like, them is nice and I was like, no, they're not though. How much do them cost, two?
Starting point is 00:08:18 Too much, too much. I said all that to say, she's just teaming them though. So, cause her big toe is long. I love my wife and her feet, but her big toe was, had to get a 10. Okay. I'll fuck with you. I think, as long as the second toe ain't bigger
Starting point is 00:08:34 than the big toe, that's what it get a little wicked. That's mine. That's my foot though. Your second toe bigger than your? Yeah. They tell you, they say you gonna make it to the league if your second toe bigger than your big toe. Thank God for the normal leg of my foot.
Starting point is 00:08:47 My foot is very, very normal. And we was speaking on women's feet, don't give a fuck what Teeq foot look like. Now people always say that was weird though. That's called a Greek foot. Yeah, excuse me? It's called a Greek foot. See, it's a name for that.
Starting point is 00:09:04 We got your second toe bigger than your big toe. I mean, you're gonna be special. Cause when women be having on sandals, that'd be a little tough. I ain't never seen too many women with feet like that though. Yeah bro, there's a lot of women with that second toe longer than that first, that big toe. I honestly ain't never seen a woman with that.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Now Ciara's big toe is just extremely longer than the rest. Ciara got an Egyptian foot. That's the one that just slants straight down. They go from big toe, they get smaller as they go on. Her socks look like this when she's up. She can't wear no Jordan Forest. Hell no. Nah, she would die.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Her shit going slant. Yeah, in certain shoes, boy, if your feet ain't a certain way, you can't ride. You're wearing some Jordan Forest, your feet gonna die. Ciara foot them real like a slide. All right, let's get off my foot. Come on. I don't, she feet gonna die. Your foot didn't really look like a slide. All right, let's get off my foot. I don't know, I don't look at feet like that.
Starting point is 00:09:50 So I can't even tell you. Respect. Michelle, man, listen, ever since we started having fun with the church from this podcast, I get the randomest clips. And here we are, man, Lil' B the Drake. Oh, boy. What?
Starting point is 00:10:02 Beheading the people who wanted you to see this, man. Dang. Shout out to the see this, man. Oh. Dang. Shout out to production team, man. We're in a lag right now. What happened though, man? You know what I'm saying? Baby girl was in the pews. She said, I couldn't wait no more.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Church was too long. She had to get her a little snack. Shit. Dang it. Shout out to Boost Mobile. Dang it. Shouts to Boost Mobile. No, it's about to play. Need sound up.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Yeah. Bro, that's a grown ass woman. Why she was eating like that? Right, why'd you just exit? You could have just gone to the bar. Or place a wartime. Yeah, you allowed to leave and go to the bathroom. Yeah, I like that.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I don't want you. You literally could have went, wow. Fucking that motherfucker up too. That person in the four-enders looking at her like, oh, she was staring at her mask. Wow. Fucking that motherfucker up too. I know what I'm feeling. That person in the four-enders looking at her like, oh, she was staring at her mask. That's when a motherfucker need to be escorted out of the church.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Yeah, you need to leave. You can leave though. Cause she definitely did this on the putans when she was done, bro. She washed her hands off of her motherfucker. I'm about to dance in one of my pillows one day. We had somebody over my house. I mean, they couldn't find it.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Like, they was just eating. They kinda just did like that. Sort of got Axl. Did you see him while they were doing this? I was out of town, he called me. He said, hey man, somebody just ate some food and wiped their hand on your pillow, man. I had to throw it away, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:41 I said, they ate chicken wings and wiped their hand on the pillow? He was like, man. Don't worry about it. You gotta tell that story, that their hands on the pillow, he was like, so. You gotta tell that story at his funeral, bro. That is definitely out of pocket, for sure. Now I wanna ask y'all this question, if y'all go to somebody else
Starting point is 00:11:54 and they ain't got no paper towels in there and there's the decorative towels in there, where y'all dry y'all hands? I always just do this when I'm done, bro. I don't violate nobody's towels like that. No, I don't either. I'll probably use my shirt before I violate somebody's towel. Yeah, people don't play by them decorative towels.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Now I got my auntie one time, one holiday she was out of pocket. It was, it was. Bill said he do that at people's houses. That's out of pocket. Wait, that's what he on? He just using people's decorative towels? Bill said no matter whose house,
Starting point is 00:12:21 anybody house he ever use is better for me. He always use their decorative towels to wipe his hands off of it. So Bill Collins, I definitely total you. That's what he does, man. So if he's been to your house, he's usually definitely wiping his hands off of your towels. Yeah, motherfucker, Uncle Phil,
Starting point is 00:12:37 Jazzy Jeff, you out that front door. You violated, bro. You disrespectful, bro. I don't know, bro, because I don't know what the fuck is on that towel. That's all I do, dude. You disrespectful, bro. I just, I don't know, bro, cause I don't know what the fuck is on that tail. That's all I do, like, ain't no telling. Niggas, especially if you had a party, it's like, bro, everybody.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Everybody wanna hear your hand. Nigga, that nigga. A nigga low key probably drunk, didn't wipe his, you know what I mean, food on that motherfucker. Didn't even wash his hands, so. You can always tell about a placement, too, if somebody done touched the balls.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Cause it's been like, all right, this been violated. My uncle used to take all his shit out of his bathroom though. And Monty, they used to just sneak in, paper towel everything up in the crib. Man, let me ask y'all this. This is a weird question, but it ain't. Do y'all wash your hands before y'all pee? Cause somebody tell me.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Yes, bro. Yeah, I'm like, yes. Yes, bro. Most Yeah, bro. Yeah, I'm like, yes. Yes, bro. Most times, yes. Yeah. My dad got me like that, bro. That's what I do. Everybody's telling me like, then you weird.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I'm like, I wash my hands before I pee. Yeah. Then I pee. Then I wash my hands again. No, the most valuable thing in your body that you probably wouldn't keep protecting. I piss outside a lot. No. That's the only time that I just don't do that though.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Same if you go to the bathroom. And most civilized situations. I'm like, be here just pulling up. You know what I mean? I'm an outdoorsman, so. But no, that makes a lot of sense. I'd be kind of alarmed if people who don't were like, where's the house?
Starting point is 00:14:00 I'd be wondering, I'm like, cause when I said it, I'm like, y'all wash my hands and I, and somebody was like, what? I'm like, cause when I said it, I'm like, y'all wash my hands and I, and somebody was like, what? I'm like, so nigga, you just grabbed all the doors and just in the world, then go grab your shit. All right, cool. Yeah, you done dapped up 18 niggas,
Starting point is 00:14:14 you done touched every door handle, and you gonna take that straight to your gang member. I did, I honestly didn't think a lot of people didn't do that though. I was, people just like was shocked when I said it. Like my hands are dirty, yeah. Like if I like was cooking or doing something, yeah I'm gonna wash and then go.
Starting point is 00:14:32 But like if I'm just moving through life, that's a good perspective though. Yeah. I mean to wash my hands or do something to where I ain't gotta put my hands on it. Cause yeah. Oh yeah, I'm the king of just looking at the fucking floor. Yeah, I was gonna say. Hey, if it ain't my house, hands on it, cause yeah, bro that's shit. Oh yeah, I'm the king of just letting it not fucking flow. Yeah, I was gonna say.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Ah, hey, if it ain't my house, if it's like a public bathroom, man, I'll piss in you, I'll have a fucker hit the toilet. Oh, you're fucking. The wall. Nah, bro, hold your wood, bro. Nah, if I can't wash my hands.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Hold your wood. Hold your wood, man. If I can't wash my hand, that motherfucker just gonna flow. If it's a urinal, it's up. Shirt's up. Pants drop, dude. Shirt up, pants drop. You damn bitch, missing like you slow, bro.
Starting point is 00:15:08 God, now you wild. If I can't wash my hands. We gotta drive along some of this. Y'all know I'm like germ-plated. I know, bro, but that's crazy, bro. I'm not pissing all over somebody's establishment, bro. You only a journeyman outside, bro. You don't go to the places you stand.
Starting point is 00:15:26 You fix something back in the seat, bro. I done seen the worst of the worst. Oh, you for sure have. Yeah, especially the gym environment. You would be surprised how nasty people really are. Yeah, but I'm not gonna say I wash my hands 100% of the time, because I don't, but that's always a thought though, for sure.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Man, I done been in the gym with niggas and stuff, and paper towels in the toilet. I'm like, man, why? Yeah, how does that, I wanna know how that transaction happens. Yes. Bring it to all the toilet. Yeah, bro, we had to do that plumbing shit, you remember?
Starting point is 00:16:00 It was nothing but paper towels. Damn. The next question is, what were you using those paper towels for, because there's clearly toilet paper, that's what I was trying to towels. Damn. The next question is, what were you using those paper towels for? Because there's clearly toilet paper. That's what I was trying to say. Sometimes. I didn't wipe my ass with a bounty.
Starting point is 00:16:12 I ain't gonna sit here and act like I'm perfect. I would never. I didn't been to a motherfucking house party. You should've had a house party. What? Nigga, I'm gonna go. I'm going home. Nigga, I'm about to feed it.
Starting point is 00:16:30 This nigga's talking about dinner. Let me tell y'all, I got a story. Yes. Shout out to Sterling Davis. Shout out to Sterling. Bro, don't. Nigga, we had a Halloween party. Don't tell this.
Starting point is 00:16:44 We had a Halloween party. Sterling, I'm sorry. Mind you, this the fattest Halloween party. Don't tell this. We had a Halloween party. Sterling, I'm sorry. Mind you, this is the fattest Halloween party we've had in a year. This shit sold the fuck out at the crib. Yeah. It just starts smelling funny, I know. We're like, what the fuck is that smell? So I'm thinking somebody broke something, like a plum.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I'm like, fuck. And it's this back bathroom we had in the basement where the club was. And people were just like, man, it stank back there. So he come flying out. We like, he come out, he say, hey, somebody blew that thing up. So we like, damn.
Starting point is 00:17:17 I'm like, who blew it up? So you know, you gotta go in there and check. It ain't nothing in there, it just stank. So I'm spraying it down. Put air first and lit a candle, incense, and all type of there, just stank. So I'm spraying it down. I didn't put air freshener, lit a candle, incense, all type of shit. This motherfucker bad. This random dude, this random dude that was there was like,
Starting point is 00:17:32 it was the priest. Sterling the priest. Sterling sitting there with a priest outfit on. Y'all ever see scary movies? The priest went to go take a shit? Then everybody just start pulling up that meme pointing at him, bro. Then he just finally was like, it was me, man.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Tell me what's fucked up. I said, take your ass home, bro. He was like, no, I can't leave. I'm locked in here. What's happening to Tom? Nah, now this is the trick. This is the trick. Nah, you don't do that, bro.
Starting point is 00:18:02 You go home. No, let me tell y'all how to respectfully use the bathroom one or two in somebody's house. If you have to use the bathroom and you have to sit down, this is for studs, whoever. Put some toilet paper. No bro, don't ever bare back on toilet, you know what I mean, that's, I mean,
Starting point is 00:18:21 I don't know if you doing that. I'm talking about put inside the toilet, comets, or any type of bleach product. It disrupts the whole smell of everything no matter what. Yeah, but what if it ain't there though? Well, most people have cleaning supplies under their sinks. So not only you violate my bathroom, you investigate my apartment.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Or, this is another trick. I don't know how heavy, more focused bowel systems are though, but you can take the soap, take the soap nigga and put it in the toilet nigga and you good. But you always have to put something inside the toilet. If you got to shit in something like that, that's already rude.
Starting point is 00:18:58 But if you're going to be rude, be respectful. Put the bleach or put the common or something in there, bro. Disrupt the smell, bro. That's a little game for y'all. All right, man. After you get done violating someone's bathroom, be here and make sure to season it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Yeah. Yeah. Find whatever you find in the bathroom. No, you season it before, bro. You season it before you do it. But if you bare it back. Oh, you gotta pregame it. Yeah, for sure, bro.
Starting point is 00:19:19 You don't just bring it after. No, bare it back in the toilet, though. Yeah, if you using a toilet that ain't yours like that, you need to be in jail. I bare it back. You got no. Yeah, if you using a toilet that ain't yours like that, you need to be in jail. I bare my back. You know what my worst feeling? Probably a couple. You know what my worst nightmare was
Starting point is 00:19:31 and it finally happened? Having to use the toilet on the airplane. Oh yeah, you wild. You remember what happened too? Remember we went to go eat that food in Boston or Dallas, wherever we was at? You wild out for that. And I woke up that morning,
Starting point is 00:19:44 I had to use the restroom, we got on a plane. Ooh, like I was in the plane, I was in there the whole ride. We landed, nigga, I was in the. You was tweaking. And that shit is all, nigga, you're stuck in that little space. Nigga, I'm six, three, I'm in that motherfucker,
Starting point is 00:19:59 I ain't sitting down. So I'm like this for like 35 minutes. You know it's funny, them pictures where it's like you gotta sleep on the toilet legs, get that static. Boy you couldn't put nothing. My fuckin' triceps was on that. You could've barebacked that one though,
Starting point is 00:20:14 cause you was the first one to get on. They like cleaned the plane real good. It was over with, I couldn't do it. I was trying to throw up. You can't bareback anything. I was in there so long nobody else could use the restroom. That's what I'm saying. You should have.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Niggas was knocking on the thing, like it's going down, go to the back. You should have definitely got comfortable in there, bro. But you're the nastiest fuck of a boo boy on the airplane. I ain't had no choice, my stomach was fucked up, man. Hey man, that's a tough situation, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Man, I was hurt, man.

Starting point is 00:36:18 All right, so now we're here right now. This is a great moment. I was watching BNF last week. You know, that situation a little bit weird. You know what I'm saying? His wife moved on. she's dating other people. Charles, he ain't had no money, but he got some motion now. And he went to his wife,
Starting point is 00:36:29 why they still living in the same house? Say, hey, I'm going on a date. Just wanna let you know, she played a cool team, left the house, and she did my crash down. Now mind you, she done been with two other niggas, been out of town. Why is it when it's the niggas turn, it's a problem? It's always y'all turn first and foremost.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Women cheat back. So also we just spread lies on the splat for no, no, no, we're telling the truth. Get your shit on me. You go DJ get on your women. Hey, this is this one. It's this one, DJ. It ain't this one, it's this one. Shout out to Spider-Man.
Starting point is 00:37:08 This is the Shubber. Go ahead and try one v one. So yeah, I don't know. Definitely sliding down the wall action, but you got women in this cheap bag. I don't know, some women are fucking dogs, but they usually get the good men. The women that ain't shit get the good men,
Starting point is 00:37:23 and then they be in a relationship forever And that's why no good man in the world Now three board Yeah, we can talk about it. How to get a man. We were talking about 50s, 50s. I said, I'm so tired of talking about this shit. Well, Malcolm ain't going 50, 50 guys at work here. He said he ain't gonna give a fuck. So go ahead, keep going. Nah, for sure, I'm interested now. All right, so clear up.
Starting point is 00:37:53 No, I mean, I just think like, yeah, bitches ain't shit. I know that's, but it's more niggas that ain't shit than bitches that ain't shit. Okay, but all the women that are in long-term relationships with men are not shit. With the good men. With the good men. With the good men that like do what they're supposed to do.
Starting point is 00:38:10 What's considered a good man? Like he's taking care of home, he's making sure that his girl is happy. Just doing things that a man is supposed to do that's in a relationship, and those get the women that are like, soon as he come home from work, she's bitching at him about something.
Starting point is 00:38:25 She don't wanna do the extra mile from him and they stay in those relationships. What's the extra mile? Like, period, like it could be, it's whatever makes him happy, but I'm saying like she's not doing the very little more to extra mile. Like she's not cooking, cleaning, shutting the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:38:40 And then she's not trying to make him feel special if he's working, take care of home. Do you do the extra miles of questions? This is not good. What did you say to me? Listen, I'm so amazed that you are saying this right now that I'm just talking to myself. It's true though, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:38:58 This is your perspective. We don't know. We love to hear people's perspective. So if you feel like all the good men are taken by all the women, listen, all majority of the good men that are taken by women, those women usually tend to be not shit. They don't appreciate their men.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Okay. That's a good habit. Okay. What would make you a bad man? If you just completely, I think that all here we go. I think all men cheat. I think that all men cheat, but I feel like. It's the way you do it.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Okay, you do it like if you if you're not taking care of home, you're not treating your girl like she is the one and only and then you are here cheat and you got her looking dumb and this and that, like hurt another girl on the same level. Like it's fucked up. You're not supposed to cheat, but I feel like all men cheat. So I don't.
Starting point is 00:39:52 So if you do cheat, just don't make sure the girl is on the same level as your main girl, right? Don't let it hit home. Don't have bitches. Yeah, it would have one up on your girl. Like it's, that's crazy. Be respectful about cheating.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Cheat with somebody that lives far away and would never be able to touch your girl like that's crazy. Be respectful about cheating. Cheat with somebody that lives far away and would never be able to touch your girl. Or respects you enough that she doesn't wanna get it, you know, take it there. Okay. Thanks, Barbie. Shout out to Barbie. She made the most of her minutes today.
Starting point is 00:40:18 She can't make it drop 30 in 14 minutes. I have a son. 30 in seven minutes. Well, I'm for real though. Just think about a nigga that you know that really does right, his bitch ain't. Y'all like, come on, let's go have a boy. He's like, ah man, I can't go. She gonna be trippin' and da-da-da-da.
Starting point is 00:40:34 But yet, when this girl's nice, she'll probably doing God knows what. He ain't saying shit, because he's just happy to get her to get the fuck out the house and quit nagging. Damn. That's the ones I'm talking about. Damn. Do I know ones I'm talking about. Do I know any like that? I don't know none.
Starting point is 00:40:48 I don't know either. You don't know none ho. That's my song. Well. We heard it here from Marvin. He said you don't know none ho. They better play the sheet then. That's your real perspective though.
Starting point is 00:41:05 What you just gave is your real train of thought with this shit. Okay. Okay. Y'all taught a good man and the Batman out there, man. That's a good man. Savannah, that's a good man. Barbie tour has been choked today.

Okay, so Everybody who just heard that wonderful word for Barbie is going to get all that because Malcolm said it took a couple soft shell tacos Now take a you tacos for shit. We just have him for a dollar. Nah, all in good spirits. Shout out to my nigga Barbie, man. Way to preach today. I don't know if people fucking with your sermon, but. Well, let's see how that goes.

Starting point is 00:46:12 Oh, you'd be surprised. Shout out to everybody who watches this with their significant other. Gentlemen, this is. Yeah. 2%. 3.2. 3.2.
Starting point is 00:46:22 I'm all man. Shout out to all the women supporters out there. Yeah, we appreciate you guys though. For sure. Let's move on to a lighter topic. Ken Whitmore got traded to the Washington Wizards for two second round picks. That was crazy.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Yeah, I don't know what the Wizards are doing. You think that was a good move for them? No, they just drafted Ken Whitmore. And Trey Johnson. They literally did. They got Cam Thomas, even though he ain't signed back, I'm sure he'll be back. Cam Whitmore, Trey Johnson, Chris Middleton.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Cam Thomas played for the Wizards? Not Cam. Ah damn, I don't know why I said that. But they got Cam Whitmore, Trey Johnson. CJ McCollum's on the watch. CJ McCollum. CJ McCollum. Chris Middleton. Yeah. Marcus Smart.
Starting point is 00:47:11 That one white dude from Gonzaga. Drew Temme. Nah. Kelley Olenek. Who the hell is that? Kelley Olonek. No, the other one. That's another white kid doing with the Gonzaga.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Oh, Corey Kisper. There you go. They still got Corey. Corey Kisper. Hey, I got fucked up. I ain't gonna lie to you. They still got Corey. Yeah, I don't see no room for Ken. So I'm assuming this has to be a long-term play
Starting point is 00:47:34 after next year, because I imagine they're gonna probably have Smart or Brogdon on the roster next year. You're probably gonna try, well, Bud Carrison is a starting PGA young boy. He's solid as hell. So who playing, CJ McCullough? CJ gonna have to be gone after this year. I'm just saying this year.
Starting point is 00:47:47 This year CJ's starting, so he gone for sure. Okay. CJ's for sure starting. Yeah, Cam Whitmore is looking like he'll back up three right now until Chris is gone, but I imagine that maybe that young court they wanted is Bud Carrington, Trey Johnson, and Cam Whitmore at that one through three.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Because I think Cam's about six, five, six, six, so maybe he can play the three. But I mean, for two second round picks, I ain't mad at the gamble. I mean, no, he's a good player. Trey gotta play. But Cam could've went to somebody who needs that right now, though.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Well, the report is that they had other offers on the table, but they wanted to put him in the best situation to develop and thrive. And I'm like, if you send somebody to Washington, you don't really want him to develop and thrive. Well, they get more opportunity. They're looking at it as an opportunity standpoint. Like, all right, we like Cam or whatever.
Starting point is 00:48:27 We're gonna send him somewhere where we know he can play. It's all equal playing field. Like Trey Johnson was a first round pick. Cam Whitmore was a first round pick. It ain't too far. If he played more than Trey Johnson, it ain't. It's okay. It ain't like you out of pocket.
Starting point is 00:48:42 He was a first round pick too. Cause he did his thing. And Cam is pretty solid. Like Cam,'t like you out of pocket. No, he was the first one I picked up. Cause he did his thing. Yeah. And Cam is pretty solid. Like Cam, it's a lot of problems. You talk about a lot. That's a great pick up for somebody else though. Damn, I hate to see that.
Starting point is 00:48:54 That's what I was thinking. I'm like, I wonder what the other offers were. You hear a lot of shit that goes on, but the real is I'm sure another team would have probably offered them a little bit more for them to get there. Like you said, maybe they wanted him to go play now. Cool, but they still got the other young boy,
Starting point is 00:49:05 like ba-ba-ba-ba, what's his name? Ba-la-ba-ba. Balal, my boy, yeah. Yeah, they still got him. Oh yeah. He a young kid. He nice. Yeah, you know the young wing they got? Yeah, whatever his name is.
Starting point is 00:49:19 No disrespect to you, bro. Yeah, he's my friend, he nice. But they still got him too, that's another young wing. And I'm just like. What we doing? I don't know. Yeah they still got him too, that's another young wing. And I'm just like, What we doing? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know what that's about. That really, that threw me off, shit.
Starting point is 00:49:32 I don't know, it just. I would have kept him if I was his. Yeah, I was surprised. That just got a lot of young wings over there. I don't know if that's gonna really fit. But I mean, if you're gonna let him go, get something back that you can use service with. We trying to win the chip now.
Starting point is 00:49:47 I mean, they got two second rounders. I mean, they really ain't got no room for money. That's the problem. That's why they can't find, they can't sign Dorian Fink Smith right now or Clint Capella. Yeah, do you see there's like a 17 deal that's going on? They trying to link all these together
Starting point is 00:50:00 to make it make sense from a money standpoint. That's very interesting they happen. So we'll see more of that probably in the next couple of days. But even today, this morning, you said it's like a 17 deal, something crazy like that to make the money shift. The second April thing is dumb. What is it for? It's just killing. It's for the owners.
Starting point is 00:50:19 For the owners to save money. But it's also like not fair. Cause if you watch, like the owners can always get their money back. Like players, they can never get that money back. Like you get what you get. Like the owners is making money while they playing, while they're owning the team, they make money.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Then they can sell it and get all their money back and plus more. It's nothing wrong with it. I get it. Cause they supplying, they the reason this league works. Obviously you can have players, but if you don't got owners, people who putting up the capital to make this shit work, it ain't gonna happen, I get it.
Starting point is 00:50:54 But I'm just saying like, if one owner got more money than another, who fucking fault is that? Absolutely, you right. If I can afford to pay the tax and you can't, who's fault is that? Yeah, that's your fault. But to me, the second apron is really hurting people
Starting point is 00:51:09 like OKC, teams that develop these young talents. If you look at the CBA, years ago when James Horton came up, it killed the OKC team back then. Cause they couldn't, the CBA didn't allow them to do what they needed to do to keep their talent. But they making these homegrown stars, building them up. And now they can't even keep them on their team. Because the second of April, they came before to go
Starting point is 00:51:33 on the tax, it's like a crazy tax. So they're going to lose this beautiful team that we've seen this year. Hell yeah. And then you know what I'm saying, the president right now, C.J. McClellan, been catching hell for it. That's just like, man, why you agree to that bullshit? That's what I've been saying. That's like, man, what I'm saying, the president right now, C. J. McClellan, been catching hell for it. They're just like, man, why you agree with that bullshit? That's what I've been saying, they're like,
Starting point is 00:51:47 hey man, what you want, bro? Like, why y'all agreeing to this bullshit? Even looking at W, they getting upset with their collective as well. It seems like the players associations across the board really be kind of letting down the players. Well, they tricked them because they made it seem like it's going to be parody around the league.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Like, oh, every team is going to have stars now. Cause you can't keep a star. And then you look at it, it's like, yeah, but you also can't pay anybody else. Everybody's gonna get lower contracts now. You're gonna have two, maybe three max players and everybody else who at once upon a time when people was getting the mid-level exception,
Starting point is 00:52:22 getting 14, 15, 20, you're gonna have like one player like that, one or two, who's getting 10, 12, 13, 14, 15 million. It's just not good. Like, it took the fun out of basketball, kinda. Like you said, to the point of, we were so surprised that Special D.O. would've got 14 million for one year from Charlotte. That's a mid-level exception.
Starting point is 00:52:44 And years past, that's a couple of people getting that bread. Now people is like D-Lo had to get two year, 12 million. That's crazy for somebody that's caliber. Just to make it work. Let me try to hit free agency again next year to see if he can get 14, 15 million. You know what I mean? Just to be on a team.
Starting point is 00:53:01 And it ain't nothing. Yeah, that's tough. God forbid you get injured. Jesus. Oh, you're cooked. Yeah. Done. And don't be in a situation where you later in your career
Starting point is 00:53:09 you want to contend. You are most definitely now with this law, you're taking a pay cut for sure. Definitely. Yeah, I don't know. Definitely, Al Horford, minimal. Which is crazy. He gonna get like, at most he gonna get five million.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Al should be getting 10. He gonna get like, at most he gonna get five million. That should be getting 10. He's still serviceable. He plays enough minutes to qualify for it. Can't nobody afford him. Yeah, that should be getting 10. Look at the shit they trying to do to give Clint Capella seven million. Dorian Finney Smith 14, 15 million.
Starting point is 00:53:40 That's what I told y'all. Y'all talking about this, that's why I said y'all boy need a software update. Who, that's why I said, y'all boy need a software update. Who? I said, what's that boy named, Ken Tale? KCP? No, no, no, from the Sixers, the two guard that y'all love. Quentin, Quentin Grimes.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Yeah, he tripped. I said 25. Ah, he not getting that. You ain't random, motherfucker, pamphlet, my man. Nah, yeah. Clearly. Yeah, that was quiet for that 25 my boy Yeah, now he know I'm saying trying to get it how you live
Starting point is 00:54:07 Yeah, you got to take that Oh no And I feel like that guy leads to like the vision in the locker room because you gonna have so many people we gotta have A few people who comfortable everybody else is literally fighting for their life now I mean, obviously, I know it's competitive everybody's always going for that next contract But now you got a smaller windows. Ain't nobody really getting three year deals. You're getting one plus ones at best too.
Starting point is 00:54:28 They took it back to the old NBA. You gotta think that's how I was back in the day. When I first came out, like the mid-level exception was eight million. That's what I had got. It was like eight million or whatever. But you had one player on your team, had a max deal. Then you had, a couple people had making 13, 14.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Like Al was making 15, Josh making 13, Marvin was making like nine. He started with Joe, right? Yeah, Joe was making 24. Right. And then the next player was making like 14. It was a pick-up order, you know what I mean? It was just like a pick-up order.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Now, I mean, it's always been like that in the league, but now at one point it had got so cool where like a guy like Ken Basemore was making 17 million. And you like, damn, that nigga though. He a fourth option. He came in at the right time. You had Duncan Robinson getting 20 million a year. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:55:22 You know what I mean? It was just like at a point in time it was good where the money, the TV deal came, they didn't have the second apron shit yet. People was getting paid because they had to spend that money. But now this shit didn't run it. Like look at Boston, bro, they went from top of the world to.
Starting point is 00:55:39 I don't know what they gonna do. But shit, I don't know, cause Dame said he interested. I mean, yeah, cause, they ain't said they interested. I mean, yeah, I'm just saying how they had to. They still gonna be competitive, but I see that from a buddy standpoint. Yeah, but I'm saying, like, you had to break up your whole team.
Starting point is 00:55:51 They like, yeah, we got two years, then you gotta slice this team up, cause ain't no way we paying that tax. Yeah. They let go everything. Yeah, bro, that's. Do y'all still think Jalen Brown be up for a trade? Or they gonna hold off?
Starting point is 00:56:06 I mean, you still gotta put a nice product on the floor. I mean, even though it's Boston people, still gonna go to the games. Just because it's routine now, people probably didn't pay for their season tickets. Ever since the championship, probably three years in advance, you know what I mean? Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Cause that's what happened with Cleveland. When LeBron left, they games were still sold out cause people bought season tickets for like four years in advance. Dang good, we knew the vibes. You wanna tap in, tap in now. I see your boys got a lot of threat. Oh, Pacers, shout out to my dog, Jay Huff, man.
Starting point is 00:56:37 I like Jay Huff. He's a really quality backup. He's probably gonna start cause we don't have a big. He has to start. Well, he doesn't have a choice. We don't have no central. Huff Dogg gotta start. I need a jersey. I like he doesn't have a choice. We don't have no central. Huff Dog, Huff Dog gotta start.
Starting point is 00:56:46 I need a jersey. I like the way that he play though. He plays just like Miles. He play like Miles. Yeah. He's just a little bit more athletic. Than who? Than Miles Turner.
Starting point is 00:56:55 He is. You know what I'm talking about? The Huff, the big white boy. He ain't more athletic than Miles. Yes he is, bro. Yes he is, bro. Then he a better lob thrower. Yes he is.
Starting point is 00:57:07 He can shoot, he can finish above the rim. He always backwards dunking, he can catch a lob. He can keep more athletic in the mouth. Absolutely. All right. I saw that said. Damn, that's a sneaky, that's a sneaky pickup. It's a good pickup.
Starting point is 00:57:21 It's a party pickup. I'm rolling, actually. I've been spinging very hard on him. I didn't know why he didn't work in Memphis. Obviously they got hella bigs, but I didn't never know why he didn't. Cause he got a little bit of mess with them. He was productive, but they got hella bigs.
Starting point is 00:57:32 But nah, he's a good player. But like some of Miles dunks that you've seen. I mean, Miles come through the middle with that bitch. Now that's one thing. Miles will pump fake and drop to the basket and hit a punch on your ass. Now some other stuff, down low, would I expect Miles to just turn and dunk some times?
Starting point is 00:57:47 That ain't really his game, so I'll get mad. He'll do that. Yeah, he's a really quality backup. I wish we would have had him last year. I think it would have made a little bit of a difference. Oh, hell yeah. But he's quality, he's quality. He's got a lot of play.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Thomas Brown wouldn't have got in if he was on the team. That's a thousand percent. He can shoot the shit out the basketball. He can shoot, he can play, but more athletic. Yeah, I don't know about that, but he's definitely out there, I like him. I'm taking a huff dog. Hopefully he can stick around for another year
Starting point is 00:58:14 when Tyrese get back. I think that'd be real dope to see him with that. That was a great pick up for y'all. It's not jumping off the radar, of course, but that for the Pacers. He remind me of a player I already had in Goga. Bataze? Yeah, he a little bit better than Goga,
Starting point is 00:58:29 but same type of vibe. I think Goga's offensive touch as far as passing the balls a little bit better, but I like J-Huff. I like J-Huff a lot. Yeah, he can shoot it. Yeah, I don't know what we're gonna do next year. I have no expectations, but why not? I ain't mad at it.
Starting point is 00:58:42 Two second round picks, you ain't gonna do nothing but in no way. It's a fact. It's all auditions next year for us. Yeah, see who's gonna be around. Should the Pacers have a Bush a year? Yeah, get another high pick? Yeah, should they? Yes.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Am I? Yeah. I think they should go all the way tank. Like, you know, at some point, somebody gotta get the first round pick. So everybody superstar got hurt. We know, to us, it's somewhat rigged, right? So Boston lost JT. Milwaukee lost some Dane.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Indiana Pacers lost Tyrese. The dropped off, the drop off for the Pacers is gonna be so much more drastic. But from going to the finals, losing your star player, they drop off gonna be like, compared to everybody else. They still got Giannis, they still got Jalen Brown. Pace the fuck around, be the number two pick.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Listen bro, we lost Tyrese and we lost, we lost two starters in a matter of two weeks. Two people who meant a lot to our team. No, a thousand percent. I'm all for letting the young boys, all the young players, the beginning of the year go crazy, get y'all shit off, get y'all value high as we possibly can and figure out what star they want to pair with Tyrese
Starting point is 00:59:50 and Pascal the next year and trade them niggas. So we jump ahead a lot on the pod. So if y'all was in that seat, in position to pick a player for next year, what type of player would you go after? And if you got a name, say the name that you would pick up. For the Pacers? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:08 They need a star. They need A.J. DeBancer. They need the kid from Kansas. Derrick Peterson would be perfect. They need him. They need one of them. Boozer Twin. Boozer Twin is good.
Starting point is 01:00:19 But. You feel like you can get that? Not saying, no disrespect to him. I think he a good player. No, hell no. But he just not as dynamic as those other two. Like he can play. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:28 He a killer, but they need a wing scorer, Ant Edwards type. Yeah. I can put butts in the seats. I'm excited to see him. Cause I thought they was getting that in Mathern, but he still is an exciting player. But Rick just don't like him.
Starting point is 01:00:43 No. So you need somebody who's the number one, two pick where you gotta be forced to play him. Yep, and also Money is in play for Ben this year too. It's time for him to get an extension. No, yeah, yeah. I just mean like, so y'all pick AJ, no question. I mean, if we got no pick, yes, AJ run it.
Starting point is 01:00:57 If we can get two and get Derrick Peterson, pull up. I'm something. A sleeper pick for me would be Michael Brown. Only, I know y'all got Tyrese. On God, I'm something. But a sleeper pick for me would be Mike Hill Brown. Only, I know y'all got Tyrese. On God, I'm something. But y'all play point guards together. And he cold. Hey, you know what I'm on.
Starting point is 01:01:14 I've been watching him at that USA trials and he's looking like the best player in the team. Bro, start following him, cause Brody. Bro, he cold. And he's like that. He's a, Jeff's a hater. Bro, he cold. And he, the first to run the OTE, Bigg's head. Nah, this nigga, he's the, he cold. And he's like that. He's a, Jeff's a hater. Bro, he cold. And he first run the OTE Bigg's head.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Nah, being this nigga, he's the, he the one. Take my Louisville Biosider, bro. Michael Brown Jr. is one of those. I said it before he signed. He's happy to tap in. We will be blessed if we have him for more than one year because we will not be. Y'all only gonna have one year with him.
Starting point is 01:01:39 He about to go fucking dominate next year. It ain't even if he, like, he is an NBA player. Like, even if it don't show up in college and you watch it, the way he played basketball is NBA. That's a, that's a 10 year starting point of right there is what I'm looking at. Yeah, he, he- You said that off the rip.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Yeah, he can play, he's a, his way he see the game, way he shoot, the stuff he work on is an NBA player. I don't know if it's going to translate to college. I don't know what he going to look like.. I don't know what he gonna look like. College is a completely different game than NBA. But when he makes it to NBA, he's gonna be good as shit. If you had to drop him on the team though, what team would you drop him on?
Starting point is 01:02:17 Hopefully the Patriots, you know, if he's available. But I'm saying what team would y'all drop him on? Him? That could use, yeah. Phoenix. Him and D. Booker B. Yo, he's nasty, bro. Incredible, bro. Like, I can't speak highly enough on his name.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Is he tall? He's like 6'4", 6'5". Athleticism is there. Yeah, he is. When we saw him at the Adidas event, I said, damn, bro, that's how he was this big. Handle can pass it. He's just one of my favorite players in that class.
Starting point is 01:02:43 And I think this class coming up is the, I think this is the class. Like everybody was high on this class or whatever. I thought it was just okay. Yeah. It was top heavy. That's really what it was. It was very high top heavy.
Starting point is 01:02:54 But it's some players in that class. 25, 26 class is some killers in that class for sure. Can you go to the rankings of the 25, 26, whatever class this is? Yeah. 2025 is. Yeah. 2025 class. Yeah. You like the high school rankings.
Starting point is 01:03:10 High school rankings. Yeah, it's some killers in this. It's A.J. DeBance's, obviously, kid from. Ed Peterson, he called. Yeah, Ed Peterson's a dog. Yeah, he called too. It's another one at Kansas, it's nice. So, Bryson Taylor good too.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Aiken Hoo too. Yeah, look, yeah. Aiken Hoo too. Yeah, look at some of these names boy. He good too. They admit his car, there's a Junior's coat. Arkansas kids. I never heard of him.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Oh, you'll see him in the draft, don't worry. Yeah, he go to, he talking to Derris. Yeah. Yeah, he going to, he talking to Derris. Yeah, he going to Arkansas. Yup. Cool P, nice. Come on, Breylin. Big Andy.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Malik Thomas. Is a fucking bucket. That is my favorite point guard this year. He going to Arkansas too, right? Yeah. That's my boy right there. They got some killers in this class, bro. I think he's from New York.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Shouts to Jalen Harrelson, Nap Town. Yeah, man. I like that Malik Thomas. It's top heavy too, but it's still gonna be some guys in college like Tahad Pettiford. Yeah. And some of them other dudes that came back for their sophomore season.
Starting point is 01:04:24 Yeah, even Kaeyani might go crazy up there. But it's a lot of guys that came back for that sophomore season. Yeah, even Ka'yann, he might go crazy up there. But it's a lot of guys that came back, because you know, there are many people that entered the draft this year. So it's some guys that came back. I think it's gonna be a really good draft, but I just think Michael Brown. Man, I just think when I watch him play, bro,
Starting point is 01:04:38 it just jump off the page like that as an NBA player, bro. How you feel about seeing Jeremiah Fears? That's how I think both of us feel about seeing him. I think Malik Thomas might have a Jeremiah Fears year this year. There's just so many people at Arkansas. He is dynamic, if he starts. You got, y'all said there's two more people.
Starting point is 01:04:56 You still got Carter Knox there. Yeah. You got Darius Aikov going there. And he's. He's him. Yeah, you still got. I do remember him. You got DJ Wagner still at Arkansas.. And he's me. He's him. Yeah, you still got. I do remember him. You got DJ Wagner still at Arkansas.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Oh, he might say. You know what I'm saying. You know Wagner playing. I thought Wagner. Nah, bro. You're right, he stay home. Yeah, bro. He'll be here until you get back.
Starting point is 01:05:15 Then you got the other lefty. Damn, Wagner. The freshman, that was a freshman at Arkansas last year that came off the bench and was playing well. Mm-hmm. Forgot his name. So this might be a development year for my boy. I mean, he might go crazy. He might. He's raw. I mean, they had two people come off the bench and was playing well. Forgot his name. So this might be a development year for my boy. I mean he might go crazy.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Cause he's raw. I mean they had two people come off the bench, go top five the year before so. He's. You know the Calipari recipe. Nah for sure bro, he Malik Thomas bro, he is a special kid. I seen him here at uh,
Starting point is 01:05:40 I don't know what they call that shit. It was one of the EYBL stops last year. He went crazy bro at the Pac Center. That's when I became a fan. And then I think, I believe he played for OTE this year. Yeah. There's some talent bro, cause I was even looking at that Louisville team.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Shout out to Naptown, Ron Convo going there. They got two other transfer us, it's crazy. Louisville's gonna be nasty this year bro. Oh Louisville. If thing goes all well bro, we have a Final 14, bro. Can we get tickets to that? Not saying I'm like free, but I'm saying, could we buy tickets or do?
Starting point is 01:06:11 To a Louisville game? To a Louisville game, they already be going like UK shit? No, you can get some tickets. Yeah, we should go. Yeah, I wanna go. They play here. They play in Indy this year, yeah. Hey, you know Louisville up the street, though.
Starting point is 01:06:23 I would love to go see them hoop, though. I just, you know, UK shit. They probably can go to a practice. I called Coach Kelso, he just want to come to a practice. I'll board up. Please bro, please bro. I want us to do that for sure. Nah man, child's to them man.
Starting point is 01:06:36 College basketball looking very promising again. Like you said, a lot of people saying NIO got people coming back. I think that's gonna turn the game up. Yeah, college basketball is gonna be fire this year, bro. But shit, just talking to, you know what I'm saying, Commissioner Silver, he was just like, well, it's a good idea that they should stay.
Starting point is 01:06:50 That's saying something. They like, hey, you can go to the draft if you want to. Yeah. I've seen a little bit of the summer league. I ain't even seen the real summer league yet, but I'm like, yeah, it's vicious. And especially everybody fighting for these rosset spots now with money being scarce in the NBA.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Yeah, boy, your brother make as much money in college as y'all can. Let's show off some little five first round pick, bro. Yeah. Yeah. watching spots now with money being scarce in the NBA? Yeah, boy, your brother make as much money in college as y'all can. Let's y'all solidify our first round pick, bro. Yeah. Yeah. I was watching a, what's the name from Utah? Ace.
Starting point is 01:07:11 Yeah. That's Bailey. Hey, bro, it's a lot of niggas trying to get their work in in Utah. Bro, Bryce Sensorball was out there hooping like he don't play minutes in the league, bro. Hey, it's, uh, right on be nasty. Damn, niggas, it's the same drink.
Starting point is 01:07:24 This motherfucker a little yellower. This look like my drug test. Nah. Probably ain't passing no one. But it was some jokes. They were just like, Utah Summer League, they real team. Wrong joke. For real, bro?
Starting point is 01:07:39 I was in college with this squad. I said, bro, you play in the association, bro. Calm down. Nah, but it seemed like, you know, and I know bro probably can speak from experience, of course, but that Utah team, it seemed like everybody out there was like, hey nigga, I'm trying to get paid.
Starting point is 01:07:53 Fuck you. They all young. Like I said, Corey, he's in his first year. Yeah. They all trying to show themselves too. Like, I don't give a fuck about no Ace baby. That's what I'm. He could not get comfortable yet.
Starting point is 01:08:04 The other day I was watching him. That's how it's gonna be. They want a hoop too. Yeah bro, they're after you here bro. Don't think he about to come here and shoot all these shots. I mean I don't put too much into Summer League. I put nothing into Summer League. Yeah, I don't put too much,
Starting point is 01:08:17 but I'm like seeing him out there, I was like damn, he can't even really get comfortable for real cause. I seen so many people kill Summer League and never get in a game in NBA. You talk about that all the time. No disrespect to Josh Selby. He's one of the best Summer League players I've ever seen.
Starting point is 01:08:32 No, Jeff, he is the best. Bro, he used to murder Summer League. Summer League? Murder. He is the best nigga to ever put on a uniform in Summer League. He used to kill Summer League. That nigga look like Kyrie Ir put on a uniform in Summer League. He used to kill Summer League. That nigga look like Kyrie Irving in Summer League. No cap.
Starting point is 01:08:49 He used to kill, bro. That's funny as hell you said that. He just never seen it pan out in the league. I mean, he probably didn't get the opportunity or whatever, but he just didn't pan out in the league. But in Summer League, he looked like, shit, like what is he doing out here? But when you was in Summer League,
Starting point is 01:09:04 did you think it was green? Like this shit was bad. I had a terrible summer league. I knew I was an NBA player though. Yeah. Like cause the thing is summer league, everybody going for them. And in real life, you know, like when you get to the league,
Starting point is 01:09:17 you're not gonna be able to shoot that shot. Right. You definitely wouldn't shoot that. Joe gonna be right there. I'm gonna be doing pick and pop with Al. Not gonna be this side. Oh, so you was already playing on this. Joe gonna be right there. I'm gonna be the one picking Pomp with Al. Not gonna be this side. Yeah, like. So you was already playing on this, yo.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Okay. Ain't gonna be this side, nigga. You not gonna be able to just come down and ice ho somebody, no. Right. That ain't real life. But then you got people out there who just play hard, naturally can get buckets and shit,
Starting point is 01:09:39 and it just don't translate to the league, cause you ain't gonna have a ball like that. I wonder if it has been like some success stories like somebody that didn't get drafted. Yeah, Austin Reese. Austin Reese? Murdered. He killed Summer League.
Starting point is 01:09:53 Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah, that's how he got his chance. He was undrafted, went out there and got a spot. Granted, obviously he was drafted, but Donovan Mitchell, what Donovan Mitchell did in the Summer League, got him that Adidas contract and kind of set the tone. Yeah, I'm talking about somebody from like, like I said, Austin Reed's perspective.
Starting point is 01:10:07 I didn't know how that go. Like how hard is it to like, okay, I kill in the Summer League. On my average 15 to 20, then I go to training camp. Like... It got to translate to when you get there. Like you trying to, obviously you trying to kill Summer League to get an invite to the camp. Right.
Starting point is 01:10:22 What they call a veterans camp, real training camp. So you kill there, you get there, then you got a final role. to get an invite to the camp. What they call a veterans camp, real training camp. So you kill there, you get there, then you got to find a role. I use Caruso as an example. Like he came in, played defense, played his role, like, oh, then we can use him as a defender. He can play hard, he can do this.
Starting point is 01:10:36 Or, awesome Reeves case, like damn, this nigga can really just hoop. He can shoot, he can score, he can do a little bit of everything. We like this kid. And he just got a way different opportunity than most people. But most people gotta find this little role. It's either you're a good knockdown shooter,
Starting point is 01:10:49 I'm a really good defender, a good rebounder, or whatever it is the team need, they looking for, and you just kind of fit that mode. But like, you averaging 25, it's probably not gonna happen. Yeah, so you saying don't go into the training camp trying to be the nigga you was in, or something. Nah, that's not gonna be you. Obviously be aggressive, play your game,
Starting point is 01:11:07 but you're gonna have to find a role. Like you should ask the assistant coach, whoever it is, like man, what's this? Like what do the team need? What do they expect from me? They can play, I don't need you to play defense, go hard, run the lane, and they'll tell you what they need, and then you should try to go perfect that,
Starting point is 01:11:22 and then make corner threes and all of a sudden you gonna have a job. Yeah. Like. Cause I don't think a lot of kids get that game. Cause if you go into summer league, you're like man this shit might be light, not the average of dub.
Starting point is 01:11:35 Then you might get discouraged when you get to, you know what I mean, to the training camp and the motherfuckers say, my nigga I need you to hit that corner. Yeah bro. I need you to get out here and shuffle your feet, god damn it. Yeah, I know you averaged one in college, bro, but so did everybody else in the roster.
Starting point is 01:11:48 Yeah, you gotta go play. What you gonna do now? You gotta go play a role, that's the hardest adjustment. I'll give you an example, Jordan Crawford, who is our brother, we love him to death. Obviously we knew he could score in bunches, he was a prolific scorer, he was a first round pick. But in Atlanta, he couldn't figure out
Starting point is 01:12:07 like why I'm not playing, you know what I mean? Cause we got you already. We got Jamal Crawford. We got Joe Johnson. We got these dudes that score already in your position. If he would have played defense and locked up and whatever, he probably would have played before me. You know what I mean? I'm being real, cause he can shoot.
Starting point is 01:12:27 See, you can't leave him in the corner, he gonna knock that bitch down. You saying, ah, that's your game, then you was, yeah. But the difference was, I'll pick the ball up full court. I was a point guard. I'm gonna pick up full court, make a pocket pass, I'm gonna kick it to Joe, I'm gonna get in the lane,
Starting point is 01:12:42 kick it to Joe, he getting in the lane. He would score that bitch. He come off the pick, Al might be off of that pocket pass. Three ball. He hit that bitch. He ain't doing nothing wrong. He ain't doing nothing wrong, but that's not what we here. That's not the role we looking for.
Starting point is 01:12:55 That ain't the role we looking for. So you knew as soon as you got to training camp that I'm a lot can in. Cause I been there, my first, when I first got to training camp, I didn't do summer league. So I had a mini camp and I'm a lot canter. Cause I've been there. My first, when I first got to training camp, I didn't do summer league. So I had a mini camp and I'm averaging 44 points a game. I'm like, I can score better than everybody.
Starting point is 01:13:15 I'm better than everybody. Then when I got there, I was still playing like that. I never got in the game. So you like, the fuck am I doing wrong? And then Nick Van Exel pulled me to the side. I was like, he make $28 million a year. He make 14, he make 15, he make eight, he make eight. He make, you know, pointed out.
Starting point is 01:13:35 He's like, you make one. I'm like, all right. I'm better than them niggas. He was like, do he want to play with you? Boss, like, do Joe want you on his team? I'm like, I don't know. He was like, ask him. I'm like, Joe, you want me on your team? He's like, shit, I play with you? Boss, like, do Joe want you on his team? I'm like, I don't know, he was like, ask him. I'm like, Joe, you want me on your team? He's like, shit, I don't know what you can do,
Starting point is 01:13:49 young fella, man, I don't know. He was like, he don't want you on your team, dawg. I was like, yeah. He was like, he don't want you on the team. I was like, why? He was like, you ain't looking for him. He's like, that nigga wanna score. That nigga wanna make the All-Star team.
Starting point is 01:14:01 You gotta learn how to find this nigga. And when he passes it to, you make your shot. He gonna wanna play with you. I figured that shit out, get the ball to Joe. Look for Joe, running down full speed, find Joe. I started doing that Joe like, you don't feel it gonna be all right. You don't feel it gonna be all right.
Starting point is 01:14:18 You lock it in. Yeah, you don't feel it gonna be all right. And then all of a sudden, I was doing that so much, all of a sudden Josh like, all you do is pass the ball to Joe. I'm like, okay, let be all right. And then all of a sudden, I was doing that so much, all of a sudden Josh like, all you do is pass the ball to Joe. I'm like, okay, let me feed Josh a little bit, throw him a couple of pats, throw him a lob here and there.
Starting point is 01:14:32 I was like, fuck scoring, I'm just gonna be the best passer. And all of a sudden Josh like, he cool, like you're gonna be all right, man, nigga. You keep working on that shit, man, you're gonna be, you're gonna be. Yeah, I was like, okay, just get these niggas the ball, they'll like you.
Starting point is 01:14:44 Cool. Yeah, that was like, okay, just get these niggas the ball, they'll like you. Cool. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, that was never Jordan's game. No. Yeah. I mean, that was never your game, but you was more willing to adjust him. Yeah, Jordan, like, I'm better than him.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Me, I'm like, because I had Nick Van X on my ear. Shout out to Nick, he just be like, man, you can get $8 million, nigga. Fuck all that, averaging 20, nigga. Get $8 million, nigga, fuck that. He was like, once you get the money, then you can say, fuck these niggas.
Starting point is 01:15:14 Get the money for it, you know what I mean? I'm like, yeah, let me just start passing this motherfucker. He's like, once they sign you, let's fuck them then. I like that. That's good you was able to listen and adjust though. Quick savings. Cause I don't even know, but see then, like I say now, I feel like a lot of kids don't respect the old heads.
Starting point is 01:15:33 We was still in that merge like damn, that's Nick Van Axel. For sure. Niggas look at Nick now like, man, I'll bust your ass. I was in all a quick. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? I was scared to talk to him. For real? That's Nick Van in all equipped. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? I was scared to talk to him. For real? It's Nick Van Exel.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't think kids now look at players like, you know what I'm saying, at they same position, that we, nigga, Nick Van Exel was a god to us, bro. That nigga Jay-Z said, handle the rock like Van Exel. Come on, even get next to him. I'm like, I walk in, he like, quick, don't work you out.
Starting point is 01:16:05 I'm like, dang, that's a nigga named Axl. And then the nigga's still cold, he out there. Like man, get that burner right, you know what I mean? You gotta be able to, uh huh. I'm like, man, I like to shoot off the dribble. They like, well, you ain't gonna get no dribble shots in this motherfucker. That nigga name is Iso Joe.
Starting point is 01:16:23 Oh, he's Iso Joe and oh nah. He like, he get the dribble, that's Iso Joe. Oh, he was Iso Joe and not. He like, he get the dribble, that's Iso Joe. That's crazy. Damn. He adjusted a lot to the league too. He had to bro. But I'm saying Joe came in that motherfucker, he was running the one in Phoenix, like the legit one.
Starting point is 01:16:38 I never thought that Joe was the one. No, Steve Nash was. No, but I'm saying though, Joe. I mean he was the backup one. Yeah, Joe was the backup fucking point guard in Phoenix. And to see him like, when I saw him in person, because he always said like, Johnson bigger than what you think, but I'm like, hell nah, bro.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Bro, that nigga big as LeBron James, bro. And I'm like, damn, now he's like the star of the team. That's crazy as fuck, bro. Because what was he like, was he six, did he start on the team? Yeah, he started with him, but we only averaged was he six months, did he start on the team? Yeah, he started with him, but he only averaged like 15. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:08 He shot like 40% from the three. Quint Richard was there too, right? Sean Marion, I'm like. Sean Marion had a whip, bro. And for him to lead that team, I'm like, he never had like a James Harden effect almost. You know what I'm saying? He went to Atlanta and turned that bitch up.
Starting point is 01:17:22 Yeah. And the franchise. That shit was crazy, bro. That nigga said, that bitch up. And the franchise. That shit was crazy, bro. That nigga said, that's I. So. Joe. They had to know he was I. So. Joe out the gate. Man, shout out to Nick Van Exman. Shout out to his pops, he got the pods. Right now, y'all need to tap in, bro.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Shout out to my dog, Quick. That number nine, I like your jersey, bro. Legendary. That's crazy, man, cause you talk about people not even listening to people like that, even in his situation now, like, bro, I ain't no O-Head, but it's a lot of people who have conversations with him
Starting point is 01:17:49 and still not really take the game away from that. I'm tapping in with these kids. I like to stay around, like, just to pick their brains with shit, bro. And I'm not gonna say they don't have no respect. They just genuinely don't give a fuck about what a nigga did in the past. They don't.
Starting point is 01:18:04 They do not care. If you was a McDonald's All American, all this shit that they trying to reach, they automatically thinking like right now, I'll bust your ass. Yeah, bro, you're not Roderick Hill. But that's who get praised. Out.
Starting point is 01:18:17 Well, he was working, bro. This is what's up. And shout out, I don't know, his Romelo. Bro, Romelo is a guy, bro. A guy, bro. Shout out who his Romelo. But Romelo is a guy, bro. A guy, bro. Shout out to Lil Romelo. But he's not like one of the best basketball players. That's why I'm like, fame takes over like work ethic for real.
Starting point is 01:18:35 He like this big, but he can jump out the gym. But I'm like, damn, he's not even one of the best players in here. And he getting more loved than all these niggas, bro. That's when I knew times have really changed though, for real. Even a little recent, his homeboys, I'll tell them about something like that,
Starting point is 01:18:48 but like he play at OTE? And I'll say, no, that didn't really like, oh, okay. Like he weak. I'm like, damn, bro. Like it's a lot of good people out here, bro. Yeah, that's a fact. That shit is scary. Coaching high school, bro, like I had to literally play.
Starting point is 01:19:01 Put on a respect, what I'm saying. Like to like, I have to go out there and be like, kill them. And they'd be like, I'm like, they'd be like, you stronger than me, you faster than me, you this. I'm like, duh, nigga, I'm better than you. And I was like, I was like to make it worse. Like when I was your age, I was stronger and faster back then. Like I was like, I don't do none of that shit no more.
Starting point is 01:19:25 I don't even hoop. But they don't understand. They'd be like, you not that, you ain't that. When the league, you only average 16. You'd be like, okay, you might not make it to the league. And then you can't say that cause it's like. Cause you don't wanna kill them. Yeah, only average a 16.
Starting point is 01:19:42 You know what 16 points in the game will get you my boy. I think that's what bothers me the most is just that they genuinely don't wanna kill him. Yeah, only average a 16, you know what 16 points in the bed will get you my boy. I think that's what bothers me the most is just that they genuinely don't understand. That pisses me off the most, cause they have the talent. It ain't just the work ethic, bro. They live in such a different world that the NBA people are so accessible. You can go on Instagram, you can go wherever,
Starting point is 01:20:00 and you can always see your favorite NBA player. You can go to a peach Jam, a AAU tournament, and one of your favorite NBA players, team is there, he there, he talking to you, he joking with you, he accessible, it don't feel like a unrealistic thing anymore. So when they talk to you now, it ain't really unrealistic, it's like.
Starting point is 01:20:20 It's the norm. Man, I know, I know him, I know man. And I've seen Ant, me and Ant was talking the other day, Ant, average 28, bro, you average 16, you not like, you'd be like, man, do you know how far removed you are from Anthony Edwards? No, facts, facts. Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 01:20:39 And you right, bro, I guess that's what it is. And respectfully, how far away you removed from me, let alone A.E. Damn, okay, I guess that's what it is. And respectfully, how far away you removed from me, let alone AE. Damn, okay, I be saying how they talk. And I think I fuck with it because I love to see kids with high confidence. But I still be wanting them to understand like, come on man, bring it back to real life with this shit,
Starting point is 01:20:59 at least a little bit. Being from here, it's like we made the NBA look too easy. Being from Indianapolis. Yep. Cause you were so random that you would just see somebody pop up to the league. Like shout out to the young boy from South Bend. They got a draft.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Javon Smough, yeah. It just seemed easy. It just seemed like, all right, if I go to college on average 18, I'm gonna get drafted. Yeah. That's how I feel. They think no matter where you go. Yeah, that's how I feel. You ever no matter where you go. Yeah, that's how I feel.
Starting point is 01:21:26 You ever said. Yeah, like it don't seem real. Like, oh yeah, oh boy, like you see Kyle Guy. They like, yeah, Kyle Guy went to the league. I'm like, it ain't that easy, bro. Like man, I gave Kyle Guy buckets before. You like. I heard a motherfucker speak on Yogi like that.
Starting point is 01:21:43 I was like. Yeah, you know what I mean? But it's so many players around here who made it. So it make itogi like that. I was like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I mean? But it's so many players from around here who made it. So it make it seem like it's damn near like, all you gotta do is be damn near, all right, you gonna make the league, bro. That's how they feel. That's crazy, man.
Starting point is 01:21:57 But like you said, it is different. Accessibility is something totally different at this age. Because I mean, even we look up to our old heads too, we probably didn't give a fuck as much as they did, but we just probably had a lesser accessibility rate to everybody else. So it still meant something when you seen it. Now I ain't gonna lie.
Starting point is 01:22:13 When I seen a person that made it to the league, it wasn't about to make it to the league. Like the thing made me respect them. I just look at their car. For real? Yeah, like off the ripper, like Chris Thomas had a champagne range Rover. He ain't make it to the league, but he was making, man, I'm gonna go to the car. For real? Yeah, like off the Ripper, like, Chris Thomas had a champagne Range Rover. He ain't make it to the league, but he was making a million, whatever he was overseas.
Starting point is 01:22:30 And automatically I'm like, damn. You know what I mean? Like, these niggas got Range Rovers in college now. It's like, what? That's what I'm about to say now. The difference is they in IL, they get 16, 17, they might be up 100 bands. They like, what?
Starting point is 01:22:46 I got a meal to go to Kentucky. What are you talking about? You know what I mean? No, that's definitely the difference. Because when I used to see, oh, NBA, I'm like, damn, bro. That's really, even a nigga like, no disrespect, like Derek McKee, I'm like, damn, bro, you really like available for me to talk to.
Starting point is 01:23:00 Like, bro was mid as hell. Like, you know what I'm saying? But I'm saying he wasn't like Jordan then. But I'm like, I still respected you cuz nigga, you literally made it. You come from nothing, bro. Like that shit is a thing. Kids are so spoiled now, they like,
Starting point is 01:23:15 man this nigga was weak. Hey y'all don't have to go to UB a week. Not sure, fuck your journey. Nigga, what you average? What you average? You weak as hell. Made to the league, you was trash. Yeah. Oh, niggas seen Dale Davis at Expo was a gig, bro.
Starting point is 01:23:29 They were a violin. I met Travis Best, nigga, at the Black Expo. Shout out to fucking Amperus, nigga. Used to have the All-Star game. I met Travis Best, Andrew and James, nigga. Reggie Wayne, nigga, and my life was made, bro. These kids are walking past these niggas, bro. like, I'm measuring James, nigga, Reggie Wayne, nigga, and my life was made, bro. These kids are walking past these niggas, bro.
Starting point is 01:23:48 Like, move around. I met Derrick Anderson, nigga, at a tournament in Kentucky, bro. He had a fan-o with his name on, DA, all that shit. Came out with some Jordan. He had some Jordan tools, bro, PEs. Bro, I thought- Nah, for real. I was staring at him everywhere he walked. Like, some Jordan tools, bro, P.E.'s. Bro, I thought. Nah, for real.
Starting point is 01:24:05 I was staring at him everywhere he walked. Like, there he go, there he go. Man, nigga, see there. Like, we seen DA now. We still hype. Y'all know that changed my life. We still hype. I talked to DA, nigga, Orlando.
Starting point is 01:24:18 I was like, nah, bro. You don't even understand, nigga. That number one, like, Penny is number one, for sure, forever, but you helped nigga that number one like Penny is number one for sure forever. But you helped that with that number one, that big guard type shit like, I think it's just tapped in bro. Yeah they don't have that same nostalgia. Like maybe the little kids like recent,
Starting point is 01:24:37 some of the OTE players, he might get that feeling cause they so much, it was like a 10 year gap. You think social media would have ruined you if we had it in eighth grade? Nah, cause I still was just a basketball head. I knew how like impossible that shit was. I was realistic, like nigga the NBA bro,
Starting point is 01:25:00 like it just didn't even feel like a real thing. Like the NBA don't feel real bro, you don't think nobody can make it to the NBA. You know what I mean? Especially like, even like in your situation, bro, you was the first round pick, the team's rocking with you, you made your way, but like, even just hearing the stuff that you had to go through, I'm like, that's shit crazy.
Starting point is 01:25:16 I can imagine for people who don't get drafted, for people who second round picks, like you gotta go through place to place to place to make a team, that shit do sound impossible. And me being short, man, the first NBA player I seen was Bonzi Wells. When you see Bonzi Wells, he's 6'5", 6'6", you like, man, hell nah, I ain't make it to no damn NBA.
Starting point is 01:25:35 Look at how tall this nigga is. And B made it from Ball State. Nigga jumping high, 3'16", man, I ain't making it to no NBA, boy, that shit, that shit, that shit over with, boy. I honestly think it would've probably kind of ruined some of us though. Cause you gotta think, bro, OJ and them was lit
Starting point is 01:25:54 in fucking- Without it. Without it, bro. If OJ Mayo would've had Instagram, bro. If Derrick Rose would have. OJ Mayo was a fucking superstar nigga in the seventh grade. He would have been. He would have been Mikey Williams.
