As soon as these intros are over, that's the first thing we get to is what happened to Moore Show this morning for sure. Somebody write my dog, young Nacho, young T, you got you what? I'm chilling man. Cool. Hey man, I'm chilling, man. Cool, what up with it? Hey man, we seen the highlights, man.

Why you picking on your high school kids like that, man? Ah, man. I was about to click it up. Yeah, I just be trying to practice with them sometimes just to give a different energy. You know what I mean, on the court, I come talking crazy and they get hyped to play against me and they wanna beat me and.

Bro felt the way about that steal. Yeah. I was, like I told him, I be trying not to play too serious. I try to like keep it cool. So I don't really like run them over and nobody get hurt like, I got hurt playing your coach. But he like, I'm about to dunk it.

I was like, nah, he not gonna dunk it. He would have went crazy. Yeah, I was like, he not about to dunk it. I'm gonna go block it or whatever. But knowing him, he not gonna dunk it. So I was like, he not about to dunk it. I'm gonna go block it or whatever. But knowing him, he was gonna fall. So I still was a little nervous. Like, yeah, I heard him laughing. So I was like, cool.

But imagine if you would've got the chance to dunk a Larry Bullard. Oh my God, I would have tripped. I would have clipped him out the ear. I imagine he was running on a break. I would have clipped him. That's a wild visual anyway. I swear. That's the funny part. That's the old song. I would have clipped him. That's a wild visual anyway. I swear.

That's the funny part. That's the oldest. I would have loved for him to go for a rebiologist elbow. Do an LB like that. You would have definitely been a North West first thing. I swear, I would have crashed out for it. I know it's not close to the same, but those two faculty games,

niggas used to try to get that shit off on the teachers. I used to wish I could play. That's crazy I used to have them, bro. We never got that. They still do that at parties. I played it in the last year. Not yet, just for the day. I played it in the last year.

Yeah, I seen Christian hitting that shot and shot. I said, man, we never got that type of love. So that's not like the homecoming type thing? No, I mean, when I was in high school, our team, we played against like some of the black teachers that a lot of people wanted to play. And like, it was like some pep rally type shit. You know what's cool?

Niggas called Mr. Dobson, people had been waiting to catch Mr. Dobson's middle school. He was like, yeah, we finally grown now. Get your ass out here. He was like, take it easy on me. No nigga, we've been waiting on this for 10 years. That's hard for real. It's time.

That's definitely hard. I know my boy Antoine would have loved to play Murray Bullinson. Shout out to Antoine Collins. My boy's little brother. Listen, his senior year, that was his junior year, right? He started everything his junior year. He played all the time.

He ended up getting cut from the the sectional team. Nobody knows why. Bullington just cut him. Like, you're not playing sectional. So we like, what? So everybody like, the fuck? Like he started. And throughout the year this dude started. So we all confused like, what you do bro?

And he makes straight A's. So we like, what you do? He like, I don't know. So we go to practice that day. Antoine come to practice, he on the scout team. Antoine still the ball three times in a row. First time he dunk it. Boom, he looked at Larry Boonton like, hmm.

Second time he dunked it. Boom, he looked at Larry Wilenton like hmm. Second time he dunked it, boom, he stood about three times in a row. The last time Larry, like second time he dunked it, he looked at him, Wilenton was like, if you look at me like that again, get your ass out of my fucking gym. Antoine dunked it again, stole it, that bitch had hung on the rim and was like... He was on the backers and flipped him over. Bro, he cried, bro. He was rolling. And then he was like, get the fuck out my joint.

So I was like, I ain't going no fucking way. He's like, well, the police will be on their way. Antoine's like, I'm out, niggas. That was the last time I think Antoine hooked. He ain't hooked no more. That is crazy, bro. Man, he could've hooked too. That's the craziest part.

Yeah, he was really good. that shit was funny as hell though. He put that nigga off, Rahul was crying. That's an example of your coach being in your way though. That's a fact. That's almost definitely. Larry Bullins had really fucked up Antoine Hoop's career. You be really telling stories like factual shit, like that's a prime example of what niggas been saying.

Yeah, he was definitely in his way bro. He didn't, like he ain't do nothing wrong. He had straight A's. Nigga played hard every time. Nigga started some games. Yeah. So you glad my boy didn't crash out, man. He living the hell of a life.

He got a beautiful family. Yeah, he kept his grades up and kept going to school. And then he mattered, but he definitely, he definitely. That is a wild ass boy. He went out with a bang pause for real. He dunked up his backers and flipped him off. Oh, bro. See, Malk should have been there for that.

That reel would have been viral. Everybody that was on that team that year, they know. Damn. That's why I think he watched the show too. He gonna probably laugh about this. Shout out to bro. That's a point you mentioned that before we get to the point of shit, I wanted to ask you about this.

We had a conversation a couple of weeks back. You mentioned this about how basketball can break your heart. And I've been seeing a lot of kids like, you know, seniors in the road, I wanted to ask you about this. We had a conversation a couple of weeks back. You mentioned this about how basketball can break your heart. And I've been seeing a lot of kids like, you know, seniors in the road, basically trying to figure out what they're gonna do with those when we're playing basketball. But now I've been seeing a lot of kids like talk about

what they're gonna do. And I keep seeing these AAU announcements for like sixth graders. It's like, please talk to the people about how basketball is life to an extent, but still be fucking kids, please. Yeah. I mean, part of being part of playing basketball it's a kids game like basketball is a kids game. Yeah it could turn into a job if you good enough you do it right but it's a kids game you're supposed to have fun first and foremost.

Like if it's not fun to you if you make it a job at five six years old you're not gonna love it. Like who loves working when at five, six years old, you're not going to love it. Like who loves working when you five or six years old? I hated school at five or six. Like it was school was easy. It might came easy to all of us, but we hated going. Like you don't want to go to school on Saturdays. You want to watch cartoons. You want to be a kid. So you got to make sure it's still enjoyable. And I think that's the most important thing. Make sure it's still enjoyable. And I think that's the most important thing. Make sure it's still enjoyable. It's still a kids game.

Make sure you still having fun. At a certain point, you might have to choose and pick, like pick and choose a sport that you really love, that you really enjoy playing or whatever you like doing. But before you get to that age, man, just enjoy playing the game. Yeah, it's crazy. I'm seeing fucking sixth grade parents

making life decisions. Bro, let them be kids. They still got a lot of time to grow up. But that's just because shit's your parent is trying to, you know, live their dreams out through you. That's my ass like 99% of the time, bro. Like, it's a lot of the like even great college players. You see them just sitting down at the game just watching their kid, bro.

And they probably I don't know how they treat them in the car or whatever, but like in the public eye, it's kind of like, they ain't like the OD daddy that just got out of jail. Like, kill that bitch ass nigga, son, da da da. Like, and these really, for real, bro, it's really be like a bunch of single moms at the game. So they don't know, bro.

They just had a kid, they play sports. So should be difficult. No, that's a fact. I had a, this is crazy. It was a little kid, one of the homies kids came up to us, came up to me and played a game last Tuesday. And I seen the little kid and I'm like, hey man, you coming to Pike?

Like just joking around. He like in fifth grade, fourth grade. He told me, man, I'm going to a prep school. And it threw me off. And I was like, what? Like, you know what I mean? Like, now I'm gonna go prep. I'm like, damn man, like that's crazy

that you kind of gearing your mind up already. Be like, yeah, I'm going to prep school. I get it, social media and all that stuff that you gonna do that. But people don't understand, you gotta build yourself up. Like your foundation gotta be where you from. Like you gotta kill where you at.

And then anybody that's gonna be a good player, I truly believe this, you gotta be good at making other people better. But if you go to a prep school where there's other great players and all this other stuff, you never gonna develop into the player you wanna be because you always got a handicap. Like I got other people that can make,

yeah, I can make everybody else, everybody else around me nice too. They can make my job easier. The goal is to make your job harder. So when you get in them rooms with five stars and all that stuff, when they become easier for you, ah, you gonna shine like a diamond. Cause I can do everything.

You can put me in any position. I can rebound, I can score, I can shoot. I can do all that stuff because I had to do that before. Cause I was on a team where we didn't have all these talented people. So I had to overdo stuff just so our team could be competitive. I think Gilbert kind of figured that out too,

with his son. His son had to do everything for their team to win. And now he's shining like a diamond because when he go to these other places and you get to play him one-on-one, he been playing one-on-three his whole time. Now you got to go to one-on-one, he look crazy. It's Christmas.

Come on. But people like to take the easy road or play on these super high, all these top five kids on their team, on AAU teams and they ain't really getting no better. They around the players, but they not getting better. So does prep schools only benefit kids that are already going to Duke,

UConn, Nova, stuff like that. Like, who does that really benefit? So me, prep schools is like for kids, maybe you're struggling academically, and you need help academically. Or prep schools for a kid that's already nationally ranked top 10, top five, and you trying to get your national rank higher because you play a nationally ranked schedule.

But the thing is, if you're that good, your high school team will play a nationally ranked schedule because I watched Marcus, my brother, be the number two player in the nation at Pike, and they got offers to play all these nationally ranked schools. So if you that guy, they gonna come to you. Like the kid going to Duke out of Texas next year,

I can't remember his name, his team finally going to the state championship in Texas, but he lit, you know what I mean? But if you that guy, they'll come to you. I seen it so many times, you know what I mean? What about the cold kid that, he nice, but he just like a, I don't know, like a Dame Willard, like a CJ McCollum, like a John Moran.

You recommend them just stay down till they come up or if you know you say 6'6 wing, should I stay in my school? I don't got that many offers or should I go prep? Like I'm nice, I know I can compete, I just ain't been, I'm a late bloomer. See the thing is you gotta go where you celebrate, right? Talk about it.

If somebody, I'm nice, but Weber State my only offer, I'm gonna go to Weber State and kill. Like I'm not gonna say, I'm gonna go prep and go to Duke, where it might be seven five stars, but I wasn't on y'all radar. That's a fact be seven, five stars, but I wasn't on your radar. That's a fact. I had to do some extra shit to get on your radar. And even if I did get on your radar, I wasn't your first option. Right. Weber State, I'm your first option.

I want to go where I'm your first option. I don't want to be your like we told the story about me at IU. I was an ape dude on the list. Like, I don't want to be your ape pig because you're really not happy with me. You you like I got it. It's cool. You don't expect much from me. But Weber State, if they're your first option and they love you, you got to go where you celebrate it. That's where you're going to get your best opportunity.

Just because you go to Duke. There's people that sit on the bench at Duke. And Transfer. Yeah. And Transfer down. It's five stars that go to Duke and sit the bench. Yeah, we saw it on high school. I mean, I was gonna say, but it's better coming from you because you're actually been a part of it,

but George Hill went to IEPUI. And went and killed Lee. Went to Lee. Courtney Lee went to Western Kentucky, went and killed. These kids. By the way. They could have went to IEPUI. I mean, IU, Purdue, Texas, all these schools,

but they went where there was love. Yeah. Yes, sir. You know what I mean? That was, they was our first option. You just never know with hoop though, cause bro like I, like I said, of course you played and you've been doing this shit since you was a kid,

but seeing players like Jaleel Okafor, like dominate high school, dominate college, like that shit is crazy to see him not pan out in the NBA like this. I ain't gonna say he ain't pan out, cause making it to the league, so when we say pan out, like, make it to the league.

I mean, like, he's supposed to, Jaleel Ogrefor was like a skill big. He is. So I felt like he was, he can fit in today's game, I just didn't know what the drop off was. It's just the NBA is so, the NBA people, it's so normal to us, right? Cause we run into people every day that's just the NBA is so, the NBA people, it's so normal to us, right? Cause we run into people every day that's in the NBA.

We talk on a podcast with people in the NBA. It's not normal. Like, not to like be like that by myself, but this is not normal. Yeah. Like you don't run into NBA players every day. You can now cause we more accessible, but it's so hard to make to the NBA.

There's so many great players that did make it to the NBA. And then like to make it, you like, you're a special bro. So like you're a little hope for a special. I know we don't really look at it like that. So many people can say whatever they want on the internet, YouTube, everybody got a voice and be like, oh, he's sad, he ass, he weak, he this. But these dudes is really like one of ones.

Like all these dudes that make it to the league are really special basketball talents. And Jahlil O'Farr, like you said, he dominate high school, college. Raw, and I feel like his game fit today's NBA. Like I said, I feel like you shit. He didn't get worse. I just knew his players like that, like Adam Morrison, bro.

Yeah, but you gotta think it's like, the NBA is all about opportunity. And sometimes your opportunity can be kind of fucked up. Like he was the number two pick in Philly. He started, he damn near was almost rookie of the year. He was killing. He was hooping. He was averaging 20 at one time.

But you got Joel Embiid on the bench, hurt, waiting in the wings. He gets healthy. He dominates in practice. People like Joel Embiid is our best player. You still on the team. Yeah. It's quiet. Yeah.

And then he was in a situation, like you said, opportunities crazy. That was a trust and process situation, bro. They was on bullshit. Now it's quiet. Love is back. And then you want injury away from, it's all right. You know what I mean?

So it was just an opportunity thing and it was kind of messed up. It happens to a lot of people. For sure. I mean, we can go down the list like Jamal Crawford. I mean, Jordan Crawford, he come to a team with Jamal Crawford on there. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like one of the few people on our group is going to where he is. And you get traded to Washington. And it's Bradley Bill and John Wall. Just the opportunities. It's like... Nah, that's true.

It's just opportunities, like, but it's part of life. I love that point that you said, like, I know people joke on the internet, we do it too sometimes, but if you back to NBA, you're successful. Like, that's, you succeeded in life. Oh, yeah. You're one of the coolest players

that ever. Something that millions of people dream of. We might be the only pod media outlet that talks about nine through 12 or nine through 15 type. Yeah. All those people are very successful in life. They're really good at what they did for their living.

They're really, really good at. You like made it for one year, bro. They did more for their family than a person working in 95. That's no shame to nobody. But the people who laugh like, yeah, he made a million dollars in a year. You may not ever make a million dollars a salary one year. Yeah. Some people don't make a million dollars in their life. And some people just don't even accomplish it like that. Like to do what you have to do to get to college to be a D1 player, then to kill, then to go to the league. That's one thing I think people need to put more respect on.

You can show Jersey like raised at a college and get respected by a university. Nigga, you was who? No, you code. You are elite, bro. Like even though dude Jersey was upside down, he was code. Terrence Hendry.

He's code. Yeah, bro, I wanted the coders to walk through these doors, bro, there would be respect. No, I'm facts. For sure, man. Lamarcus Alders, I forgot, maybe Chris Haynes report. He was basically talking about how he wanted to go back to Portland later years in the career

and basically it didn't happen for whatever reason. I wanted to ask y'all, what's one player or one player y'all wish didn't happen and what's one player y'all think that could have went back to that team at some point in their career? I know we kind of talked about with like KD and like the Thunder and stuff like that reuniting. What's the situation, it don't matter what time period it was.

Y'all think would have been dope to see happen. Well, reverse for me because I rather, I mean, not rather. I would have wanted to see Chris Paul on the Lakers. Okay. I hate that. You know what I mean? That trade didn't go through? God bless the dead.

I wish that would have happened. Yeah. They say we about to sell the state. I really, really wanted to see that. That first trade was crazy too. Yeah. But they would have kept the natural in that Chris Paul trade. Yeah.

They had to veto that. Yeah. I wanted to see that, but that's my, I'll let you sometime. I'm a go James Harden. Okay. See, I wish that they could have just figured out that little bit of bread that they was being petty over because that would have started a dynasty. I know James obviously needed his own team, MVP, good enough.

But Russ, Katie, Arden, bro, prime years going forward, bro, they would have murdered them. Yeah. Got another one, though, just because, you know, that's the that's the family now. I wish the martyrs would put a one on one with Toronto. Oh, he needed that for his career. He solidified a thousand percent, but I feel like. All of them 50 win seasons, he earned that like cow liar. They're supposed to celebrate that together.

That's real. Well, that's my that that one. I probably would have wanted to see. Oh, no. Oh no, I don't got one. I know the Lakers fans might hate this, but I wish Shaq never left Orlando. Who's scoring big in the NBA this season?

We went live for All-Star Weekend for a new podcast called GOAT Greatest of Their Era, and we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s. Asia 5 dirt for it. Asia is the lead. Okay, okay. is called GOAT, Greatest of Their Era. And we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s. Paja 5, Dirk 4.

Paja is elite. OK, OK. I'm mad I left him off my list, but I still like my list. You won't believe who Steph left off his list. That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations. Yes, absolutely. I love it.

Steph talked about what separates the truly elite NBA shooters. When you have a scouting report and you're on the list as not just a shooter, but we have specific rules for how we guard you. There's a fear factor that's associated with it. Anytime you're wide open, like you might as well just count that

and get on back on defense. Listen to GOAT, G-O-T-E, greatest of their era on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's Julie Stewart Banks.

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 to 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.

It was very interesting. It was a lot of people pissed. A lot of people just like, he's passing up all these coaches. College basketball is not the same. It's like no, it's not the same no more. Because these kids who get recruited by these coaches is who they want to play for.

But what they mean, they was passing up on who? I just, you know, there's a little bit of hate. He's too young, he got no experience, all that shit. And I'm like, do y'all know what he did with that dude program? Yeah, he just recruited the best recruiting classes. He just got the boozers to him to commit. They probably, it's a good chance. They might go to Miami now.

He sleeps shit basketball though. Yeah. And the lineage. Yeah. That's all he does. Yeah. And his brother, his family, his dad, like, what are you talking about? But if he can get the boozers to commit to Miami now.

Now that would be crazy. Because I mean, he did recruit them and he got close ties. They are real close ties. Locked in. Miami. Yeah, that'd be a good switch they could get. Man, and what made me think about that is obviously March Madness is approaching.

We think about all those college programs. We talk about historic colleges and the coaches really. We never talk about the institutions now, but now it's changing. All these kids is going, like you said, I wanna be rocking, rock out that. Now he in a situation like Miami, he might change the game for real.

They might start looking at different coaches differently. We gotta go pull up on Luke. Yeah, most definitely. That's a must, y'all. Yeah, most definitely. I think we gotta, I'm gonna call him. We gotta be there the first day. I got to interview Jake.

For real bro. Damn, that's real man. Hey, people been asking in the comments man, I know you've talked about it a little bit, but you know, taking a hint of experience on the road, man. What would be your ideal situation as far as, if you could book one artist, one VU, what would you like to do with your shit?

One artist, one VU. If we could go ahead and wish it to fruition, cause people's been fucking with it, bro. Vogue, Travis Porter on April 18th. Yeah, that's the concert series. Yeah, good. Good clean up, good clean up. Okay.

Yeah, he was hating last week. Okay, Vogue, Travis Kemp. Hold on. There you go. Travis Kemp and Travis Kemp, apparently. Hold on, Russ Park. The video I would choose would be Dreus. And for a Hendrix experience,

my shit is so ghetto now. But I don't know, bro. I don't know bro, I don't know. Probably two chains. Damn. So dress, two chains, Hendrick experience. Come on, we gotta make it happen. And to see, if you had a venue, if you could put one, like let's say the venue only fit 1200.

Who you getting? Damn. Yes. I gotta get artists? How you get? Damn. Yes, as I got to get artists, how you get what? 1,200. Give me a chance to think on that, because obviously everyone will be packed out anyway. But if you can get a vanity or something, have artists like that. I mean, of course, I would cheat and say, oh, that realistic.

I said, hell of a question. I am bringing no artists. I'm going to get Ari. I'm going to get, who the other joint? Jada. Huh? Jada. You're going to get Des too? I'm getting all them.

Sold out. Oh yeah, you taking the Zeus route. It's going to be up. Zeus, Zeus me. It's going to be lit in there. Because all the niggas want to see them and all the girls want to beat them. And that's some uh which is crazy. It's very true. When the loss ratio is nice and that too so far. You only got paid though. I ain't hating on them. I don't know but I'm gonna. I used to do parties

but I used to have a jeff t-week weekend. I know what some of them salaries be. You know that flyer. So it's like. They're a little different now though, bro. They getting a little, little chicken now. I'm not saying they ain't gonna get no bag, but. It's always a pay scale for a reason. It's serious.

It's something else. I always need a bag. Ari and Jada just let alone though. That's enough to just, I don't care what city you in but I'm gonna go in oh that's the interesting part now I know it's about for some years now but like quote unquote with our influencers now yeah like we have more people who more fans of rappers in a family life than they are of the actual rapper themselves and that's just crazy but influences are

bigger than rappers like I ain't gonna lie. Trusky is bigger than a lot of rappers. Yeah. Trusky bigger than Konstantin D'Lo. Yeah, Konstantin, I'm bigger than anybody, every rapper. Him and Duke and them, why they just, that aura's different. Cause they do got a bunch of kids, 100%.

But when they walk in like the clubs and shit, it be different, bro. It be different. Like, no shade of G Herbo, I love G Herbo. You know, that's, I wish he could do the show, but shout out to Herbo. People more interested in his life, with his, you know, big moms and stuff,

more than they are probably his raps. Oh yeah. Cause he lit, he lit. No, he lit. Like, if you look at that episode I have with his, you know, two past situations, that shit in the middle, very, he lit. Like if you look at that episode I have with his you know, two past situations. That shit in the middle very, very quick. Yeah, they lit.

And I'm sure, I ain't saying, but he dropped a mixtape. It's gonna take a little second to get to him. I don't know if he's gonna get to a meal as fast as that guy to a meal. We love messy shit. Nobody was really interested about what was happening. They were just like, how could this go wrong? Yeah, like what they gonna say.

Yeah, cause G Herbo is definitely still lit, but that moment right there made him iconic in that world. On my mom's. Shout out to my dog Banksy, legend in two games. He with Kirkman. I was like G Herbo, you won. Like you lit. You the one bro.

Yeah, I fuck with it. Yeah, that's a big choice. Or even like when he did, what shorty name? Was it Diddy? Ah, Christian players? Yeah, yeah, when he did that, it was lit. That was fire, for sure. That sit down was definitely fire.

And the instrument I bring that for one of them because you say, especially on basketball. Oh, I bring her too. She on rap for Christian. Yeah. Most definitely. We went to her party. That's when T was at Saucy Santana's section.

Man, stop. Nah, cause people gonna think that for real. Not the real one, but I'm saying, no. No, I'm just saying it was a little bit. Cause he know how fast you can clip up on his mic. No, no, no, it was just different over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was gonna be eating milk for the real.

It was Carisha and friends, Jeff was with the friends. No, I was. See, see, I'm glad we here. We talked about this before. I was with my wife. This is why we're here. And you know, this nigga in the show loved me numerous occasions. I was with my wife.

But this is how much of a dickhead he was being that time. We lived in our sex. He like, nah, I got my own shit. Nigga, you told this story already. No, I was with my wife. He's shitting. I was with my wife. Yes, I was with my wife.

Yes, I was with my wife. We just happened to be- And me only went out to eat. He kept walking. All right, nigga, I see what smoke you about to walk into. Nigga, I told you, I was standing over there. I just wanted my wife to ask where to sit. Shout out to the queen, what's up, man?

And she was ghosting over there. I'm like, nah, I can't do that. No, I just wasn't comfortable. Like, no, nevermind. Before we get out of here, I want to ask how y'all feel about this. I see Gilbert Arena on first take killed that shit. I see Mello gives a broadcast and opportunities. The way that they're talking about the way the NBA's covered, they kind of hate it. They're trying to get to the point where people are celebrating basketball more than like picking it apart.

How do y'all feel about that as obviously former players and us as far as consumers, like the way that basketball is portrayed? Because we love inside the NBA and we get the jokes, but a lot of people hate that shit. I think everybody just shit no basketball and just get to the point of players just like, stop talking to me about this shit. Because all you're going to do is hate it anyway. Yeah, I ain't never really been offended. I just think they was funny.

I thought them not even talking about basketball was funny. Like when they would just be like laughing at each other, Chuck be falling asleep or some shit. Kenny walking up. Yeah, I thought all that was funny. I think, to me, I think Kenny get really good insight on the game.

I can tell if Kenny watch the game, Chuck don't give a damn about the game. Yeah, I tell you. Shaq don't care. He waiting for the Shaq and the Fool moment. Yeah, he don't care watched the game. Chuck don't give a damn about the game. He'll tell you. Shaq don't care. He waiting for the Shaq and the Fool moment. Yeah, he don't care about the game. But Kenny really give you good insight. I love Ernie and I love Autumn though for who they are. Like they both was big.

Autumn was great athletes. And Shaq is a great entertainer. He do what he do. But as far as insights to the game, I ain't never really looked at them for that. They never date. Honestly to me, bro, it was never really looked at them for that. They never, they, honestly to me bro, they was like a podcast.

Yeah, literally. They was like a podcast. Talking shit, doing all type of events, got random people coming on, shooting shots with them, just having a good time. It was more of a show than like looking for real insight for basketball. Like I watch NBA TV and I think like Sam Mitchell

and some of them guys, like, you know, some of the people that was on there give you real basketball shit. Like, and I used to get that from them, but NBA, NBA, TNT, that was just. I always waited for Shaq to join on Shaq. I mean, on Chuck. Yeah, that's all.

Or vice versa. That's all I was waiting for. You know what I mean? Chuck, fuck up somebody's name, mess up this. Make Ernie uncomfortable. That's all I was there for. That was the funny part. That's literally it.

For real basketball, I wasn't. Hell no, you out of your mind. Cause they literally just said, man, we ain't fucked these niggas and say it. Yeah. If they was uncut for real bro, if they was on HBO match, oh, it would have been the best show of all time.

Yeah, cause they'd just be like, oh, he trash. Like, he ain't good. This nigga weak. Like man, what we watching man? And they kind of do it anyway. They just do it a PR way. Yeah, but for real inside on basketball, I don't do that. But it's cool to see like guys who just really fans

of the game. And I think they fans of the game. They probably not fans of the product now because they grew up in a different era. But like younger guys who just do appreciate the game. Like, cause we grew up in a pickup ball era. Yes sir. Yes, sir. Right.

We love going to the gym and just seeing people playing pickup and like people get into it. We talk about people got bags and stuff. People didn't have bags back. They didn't say that back then. At all. You know what I mean? Like we ain't say Charles Barkley had a bag. But he is good.

He'll post you up. You're gonna get to a spot. Don't pull up on you. We ain't say Chuck had a bag. That's a fact. He is good, he'll post you up, he gonna get to a spot, he gonna pull up on you. We ain't say Chuck had bad, man. So having these new young guys coming in, talking basketball the way they talking, like Jamal Crawford is great.

Great, great. He one of the best, I swear. When I listen to him, I'm like, damn, this how I look at basketball too. And I can listen to him, I can relate. So it's gonna be cool to see Melo do it. Who was the three? Oh, Gil was on first take, he was going crazy. Yeah, can listen to him. I can relate. So it's going to be cool to see Melo do it. Who was the three? Oh, Gil was on first take. He was going crazy.

Yeah, Gil good at it. Really good job with first take. Yeah. So it's just funny because it's just like they get mad at that. But it's like NBA. This is what I pushed for the longest time. Y'all took all the people who were really good at analyzing basketball away from people who were entertaining. And then you got mad at the product. And then you look at the All-Star game and you have Kevin Hart hosting. And now we got the W here and everybody's mad because Kevin Hart's hosting over Mike Epps.

It's like, okay, that's a side B, but y'all pushing entertainment over basketball and then get mad with basketball. Oh, he doing a NBA shit too? Yeah. Damn man, they ain't learn from the NBA? Like, but- Over Mike?

And Indianapolis? That's great. Wow. That's respectful. But I get it. I get it. We know why. As far as putting eyeballs on the game. Shit, that's crazy. Wow, that's respectful. But I get it, I get it. We know why. As far as putting eyeballs on the game. Shit, I don't. I do, I get it from putting eyeballs on the game.

Like Kevin Hart, he brings his own audience. Oh, okay. You know what I mean? He got his own fan base, he brings a big audience. For the W, I can see that for W, but for the NBA, they ain't need that. Y'all think Kevin Hart brings Mike Epps to those events or gets him involved at all though? Probably, probably.

Because they ain't beefing heavy no more. No, they probably smooth. Mike was on the breakfast up and said, no, they cool, they talked. Yeah. And everything, he said, yeah, I'm feeling away about it. So hopefully he does, as Mike said. I mean, even because people in Indianapolis

kind of made a little outrage about it. Like a little, you know, made a little thing about it. So I'm sure Kevin Hart, maybe he didn't see, maybe he did, but I think probably the cool thing is but I got my guy, Mike Gibbs here too, you know, he's the guy from the city, so. Well, let Mike do it and bring Kevin as like, I don't know, man.

I just- I don't think that works like that. Nah, Kevin brings him in the eyeballs, man. I ain't saying, like Kevin, just. I don't think that works like that. Nah, Kevin brings too many eyeballs, man. I ain't saying. Like, Kevin, it's just even look at they tour. This is a Lil Wayne Super Bowl moment for us. I agree. Real shit, bro. Like, I don't know.

I guess it's definitely not as big as Kevin Hart. I understand that. I understand logistics, but damn, for the city, should've kind of been like. I'm with Jeff, though, for the city should have kind of been like. I'm with Jeff, though, for the W, because they need the eyeballs, they need that extra. Yeah. I think they need that push.

They need a Kevin Hart at the All-Star Gang. You know, obviously, how you feel about the conversation, there's no wrong. But I think the fucked up part about it is the NBA keeps trying to punish people, but y'all are doing more entertainment stuff than everybody else is. Like, just from a standpoint of All-Star. But y'all are doing more entertainment stuff than everybody else is. Like, just from a standpoint of All-Star weekend,

y'all are pushing entertainment, entertainment. And then you get mad when your analysts and all these networks are trying to cater towards that. And they're talking about the purity of basketball, they're talking about basketball again. Y'all fried on those people. If that's the case, y'all would keep journalists. It's just ugly.

But I don't, no shade to the journalists, cool. But I just don't respect that. I ain't gonna say not respect it because you can have a moment of you and it could be good. You can be really good at your job and you can see the game and be great at the game. You don't have to play the game to understand the game

and be a good coach or whatever it is. But the perspective that she wants from somebody who's been there. But Ernie, Shaq, Charles, they've been there whatever they all had their job for years but they didn't grow with the game. So it was just you just need some fresh new people who grew with the game. They didn't grow with the game they still stuck in. Oh man why they don't throw the ball in he got this baby on a well people don't post up no more because Seven Footers got handles now.

You know I I mean? So they just didn't grow with the game. If they would have grew with the game, nobody would care. Like if they started like, hey y'all let's push Wimby, it's different. Kevin Durant's not gonna ever post up. Yoke is just a untraditional big man. He can do it pretty, like,

and they just started championing that and nobody would ever say nothing. But they just didn't grow with the game. Kenny did, but the rest of them didn't grow. They need to have, just put two entertainers, and then two people that really are serious about ball, so you have a balance. How's it feel like?

They should have like, they can have that show, but they should have just started incorporating some younger pieces, like they did when they started putting Draymond on there. But they like to put controversial people on there that made you like, I'm gonna watch you, because you're gonna say something. Yeah, Draymond on there. But they like to put controversial people on there that made you like, I'm gonna watch it because they're gonna say something. Yeah, Draymond gonna wild out.

But if they would have added a Jamal Crawford to a regular show, like, and let him and Kenny really talk ball and then Shaq and them chime in, like, no, he really weak. And then he'd be like, nah, Shaq, he, and they can have a crazy dynamic, but whatever. For sure, like you said, Jamal Crawford, Candice Parker, really really good dishes to show for sure. and they can have a crazy dynamic, but whatever. For sure.

Like you said, Jamal Crawford, Candice Parker, really really good dishes though, for sure. Yeah, Candice Parker really do a good job, so she hold it down for the win. Great job. For sure. More to come, man. March Madness on the White State Tomb, man.
