There's a buzz around the NBA that Yannis Anta Tocompo doesn't want to play with a ball
Starting point is 00:01:54 dominant guard. Some claim that Yonis misses playing with players like Holiday and Chris Miller. who were partners in the 2021 championship run. That is the biggest, that's not to suggest he wants to get the back, to get the band back together. Still, some suggest Yonis doesn't want to play with a ball dominant league guard, preferring to play with a primary injury driven by team offense. Holiday and Milton were comfortable playing without the ball around him.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Yeah, he can say that he won championship with him. Yes. But, but he don't want to. want to play with a ball dominant guard is because he's ball dominant. Yes. He has only one ball. Yeah. And he don't want to be just no pick and roller or no picking popper.
Starting point is 00:02:41 So he's like, man, I don't want to play with them dudes, bro. I want to be the ball dominant where I'm coming down. I'm spraying out, making plays. Don't put me to where I'm going to play with Luca and y'all got me sitting a picking roll running to the rim like I'm a, yeah. I'm just telling you out for, you know, before. Hey, hey, hey, Joe. Hey, goddamn Yonah's got to evolve, nah.
Starting point is 00:03:03 He got to evolve his game. Okay, we know you could only be domino in the ball. Add something else to your repertoire. Learn to come out of that goddamn pick, what? Learn to, you know, learn to put the ball on the floor and pop a shoe. Learn to put the ball on the floor, not just the deep on and steamroll people over. Get somebody some sauce for a minute. Put the ball on the floor and stop for that mini, man, like, like, KD and pull up at the 18.
Starting point is 00:03:30 He ain't got that consistently. He can do it at times, Ocho, but consistently, I'm living with that. If I'm guarding him, he's going to shoot that 15 foot. I'm going to let him shoot that thing all night. You hear me? Yeah. Yeah, but I think, you're right. I think he is going to have to evolve, meaning he ain't going to be able to that.
Starting point is 00:03:47 He ain't going to be, he can't be as bald doubling as he is playing with other grades. I'm just thinking because I think if they don't make no noise this year, Uncle, Ocho, they're going to have to trade that man this summer, man, so you can, you know, obviously get some capital off of him. Right. Before he just walk without nothing. Yes. So if he-
Starting point is 00:04:08 You're absolutely right. So if a team take a chance on bringing him in, they're going to already have a guy there with him. They're not just going to bring him in by itself trying to change the organization. They're going to bring him in to be a piece of a puzzle to try to win a championship. Hey, you know what you know what need to happen, Joe?
Starting point is 00:04:25 What's that? It's probably impossible. I don't think LeBron going to play a 24th year, but one of the Lakers' problems and one of the Lakers' struggles has always been not having a goddamn big. Not only not playing defense, this is probably dumb because Lucas ball dominant, and I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:04:43 We're not playing 2K, but just seeing Yonis in the Lakers uniform, but he's also ball dominant. So I mean, I'm saying he could probably, those two probably couldn't play together, huh? You don't think they can play together, huh? He said he didn't want to play with a ball dominant. Who had the highest usage
Starting point is 00:04:58 traded in the NBA? Luca. But hey, you put him out there in La La Land, maybe he'll change his mind. Oh, you're talking about Yonis? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nah, because Yonis has a taste, he's a league MVP.
Starting point is 00:05:13 He wants to get another one because Yonis is trying to be, he's trying to be up there when y'all start talking about ghosts. What about your boy? Will y'all mention Magic and Jordan and and LeBron and Stepp? Well, we're not going to mention that in Milwaukee.
Starting point is 00:05:32 He gets more championships. He's like, hey, he won championships. He's got enough MVP. He needs championships. Well, hey, look, game, but a few places he can go, man. To where right away, when you add him, you're like, okay, they got a chance to win a title. And wherever he go, they're going to have a bald dominant guard. And they're going to strip it, they're going to strip it, they're going to strip it down.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Because you're going to have to give a. a lot of those pieces to get him. Just to get him, yeah. You're going to have to get some of them up now. I'm not finna. I'm not in the business. If I'm a general manager of building somebody,
Starting point is 00:06:09 somebody, someone, some other team. Yeah. My job is to make my team good. So, oh, you know what? I trade, I, you know, look here. Give us a couple of, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:23 mismatch pieces and a couple of unprotected first. No, no, no. No, no, no, no. No. No. I need some guys that can come in and contribute right now. Well, I think this postseason is going, it's going to say a lot, meaning it's going to be some teams who are going to get slighted to where you're going to be like, ah, they're going to run over with.
Starting point is 00:06:43 And they're going to be looking to add a big dip of this summer. Anthony Edwards say he would, he want to try to play wide receiver or backup quarterback if he wears a ring in the NBA before 30. Joe, oh, Joe, take a listen with that, man. had to say. I'm trying to find a way to give a ring, but once I get one, I'd be cool. I'd probably go play football, especially by getting one while I'm still young.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I get one before I turn 30, I'm definitely going to try to go play football. What position, though? I probably play receiver. I might try to go quarterback. Probably back to quarterback. I ain't really got a player unless my start to get hurt. I can go for that.
Starting point is 00:07:27 I can go to that. If my started quarterback didn't hurt. And everybody loves to backup. Yeah, everybody's playing behind my hogs. Hey. Hey. He said, Yeah, he said,
Starting point is 00:07:41 Someway, somehow I got a final way to give me a ring. Before he 30, he's gonna go, did he go play in the NFL? What y'all think about that, man? I like it. I like, listen, Ant, full of life. Full of life, Joe and Unk, man. He's, he's an inspiration for a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Hey, he's funny. he has great personality you know we're always smiling and one thing boy when he on that goddamn hard wood he'd give you everything you got yeah yeah he gave everything yeah
Starting point is 00:08:10 and he's putting butts in the seats he's entertaining he's polarized he's this he I can understand why they would want someone like that to be the face of the NBA and he's declining you know
Starting point is 00:08:20 you know for other for other reasons but man dude to do this inspirational man boy look at you know anytime they somebody come out it's just like anything. Somebody come out there for the first time they come. What did they try to do, Ocho?
Starting point is 00:08:36 They're going to try to break Edman a half. Try to kill it. Hey, he too tall. And Edman hadn't fallen, hadn't taken a football here. I think he stopped playing football. What, his sophomore year in high school? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Yeah. So he hadn't taken a hit in a very, very, very long time. Yeah. And he's a big-ass target. And this, and this different, this different type of hitting up here now. Yes. That man say, well, he's 30.
Starting point is 00:09:04 By the time he 30. Well, I show love to see it. Yeah, yeah. I think I show him would love to see it. Me, me, he's athletic as hell. I think it's the honesty and passion that he speaks with when he talks. And you never know what's going to come out of the mouth. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:21 He's dead serious, too. Oh, man. But you got a love to contact now. You got, hey, football. football. Now, it's not as physical as it once was, but they still not get a lot of people out there now. Don't get it. Oh, football ain't like it used to be. Boy, I show, you know what? I wish the average fan.
Starting point is 00:09:42 You think of the average fan, you think an average fan could take a hit, Ocho? Wait, what error? This era or our era? Right now. No, no, I don't. Nah, even right now. One of them, please. Boy, please. You know what? You know what? You know what? I think it skews the fans that watch on TV. You need to be up and close.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Even from the stands, you can't tell how fast the game really is. May, you need to be on the field. You need to be field side to give you a better understanding. They don't understand. Hey, them boys, turn your lights out there. What? Hey, Joe, man. I already know.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Hey, hey, if you can't be playing football, ain't going to be done but some flag home, boy, you hear me? Hey. And they board a line. is that his spidey senses have been turned off. So he doesn't know where the collision is coming from. Coming from, yeah. So he doesn't understand like coverages.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Like at a certain coverage, I know where the collision should come from. Yeah. I know when the quarterback, the quarterback pushed the ball a certain way, Ocho, I know I'm supposed to turn up in my shadow. I'm going to keep going. I'm supposed to peel back, keep back shoulder.
Starting point is 00:10:50 He said, there's danger in front of you, man. Yeah, you go the other way. There's a headache over there now. I want to see it. I ain't a lot. I want to see that man get out there. Because he told me, I talked to him. He's like, man, look here.
Starting point is 00:11:03 He's saying, man, you know how much running I got to do to be in this kind of shape? He's like, I can be big like you. I'm like, I don't know if you can be this size, do it. But I like to see him get out there. I think people in the chat to my football soft. Somebody that's never taken a head in football. Saying football, it's easy to say that.
Starting point is 00:11:24 It's easy to say that. They don't say what you have a done. They don't know. Well, y'all got my respect. And I ain't talking about high school football because there's levels of this. Everybody was grade at high school and there have been people that was grade in high school
Starting point is 00:11:38 that was grade at college and they ain't do too much in the NFL or didn't even make it to the NFL. And there were people that were grade in high school that didn't make it in college. And there were people that were grade in college that didn't make it to the NFL. So for y'all to keep saying,
Starting point is 00:11:50 oh, the NFL soft, it's easy for you to say that because y'all ain't taking not one hit. What? not one. It ain't trying to take one. No. Nope.
Starting point is 00:12:01 First day to go out there, just sign a waiver. Just sign a waiver and say, you know what? I like to play receiver for a day. I like to play running back for a day. And then I want you to come back and say, man, they're soft.
Starting point is 00:12:15 They don't even hit. Yeah, okay. Then I'm going to listen to what you got to say about the NFL being soft. Mm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Come on, Ed.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I show hoping you get a, I whole show hoping you get a... Hey, he said he wanted to be back. He wanted to be back up for my home. He said, I all got to play. I all got to play unless the start to get hurt. Man, look at him, man. How Ant Man did Arj.
Starting point is 00:12:42 I don't know what he was thinking. What he did, man? Why RJ ain't just move out the way? Oh, my God. Man, hey, hey, ain't nobody got more posters than Amman right now, Uncle Ocho. I'm talking about somebody on the poster.
Starting point is 00:12:58 I'm talking about posters you can put on your wall and be like, boy, look at him. They still do posters, Joe? I'm sure they do, man. I said, you know when we were kid Joe, the poster was the thing. What? You couldn't even see the walls in my room. Hey, hey, speaking of things back in the day, well, look what I just found from when I was in high school.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Hold on. What did the joke again? Probably in high school jersey. He probably broke in my house and. and stole it. Ain't no telling what this dude. Yeah, I don't know what RJ are thinking. But you ain't fit to get me.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Oh, you got the brick. Oh, man. Hey, well, I start playing, Joe. You got the big brick. Joe, you had one to need the motorold. No, I ain't had one. That one, Joe. Joe, you're too young.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Uncle, you had one. Yes. And I got the, and they had a junior. That was the first one. And then they had the junior. Yeah. Hey, that joke was swayed with Nino Brown didn't have bad. Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, stop.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Hey, what's, what's up, Shriver? 80, 30. Hello, can I, hello, can I scream the peaches? Man, Joe, you must have had that in college, because that was like the early 90s. Oh, this is 89, 89, I think. Because that's what I got, I got one of those when I was, at 1990, when I first got to the Bronco in minutes
Starting point is 00:14:25 with like $4, $5 a minute. Yeah. They were free on the weekends. Yeah, yeah, but heard the thing, no, Joe. If you went out of time, you was roaming.

Starting point is 00:17:49 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's throwback, man. Damn. Oh, man. There was a day he brought back some memories.
Starting point is 00:18:01 The Chicago Bears are trading DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills along with a 2026 fifth round pick in exchange for a 2026 second round pick. According to Albert Breer, the bills had sniffed around for A.J. Brown and Alex Pierce so they weren't actively looking for a better receiver help. They wind up with DJ Moore, who will be reunited with Joe Brady, his offensive coordinator in Carolina, in 2020 and 2021. The bills had the ninth fewest receiving yards by wide receivers in 20, uh, in 2025 with 21007 yards. DJ Moore ranked sixth among wide receivers and receptions. Receiving yards and receiving first downs with 392 since being drafted in
Starting point is 00:18:48 2018. Oh, Joe? Yes, sir. You like it. You see Josh Allen. You see James Cook. You see DJ Moore. You see Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kinkade.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Obviously, you know, Keon Coleman. Joe Brady said it's his job to make Keon Coleman great. Yeah. I like the move, huh? I like the move. Obviously, going with your officer coordinator. You're familiar with the offense that you ran when you're in Carolina. And people need to understand.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Some people don't like the move. Some people have said, oh, why would you let DJ Moore go? Hello, did you all see Luther Burton play last year? Thank you. You don't make moves like this until you're sure. sure about someone else that's on a much much much smaller deal for one they want to get the money on the book roma doones and the first round yeah i mean yeah i mean listen to you took roma doonesy in the first round right but luther burton has been out playing rome rome's
Starting point is 00:19:42 been playing good he got he got a case of the drops a little bit yeah he got hurt too got he got near he got hurt too but he's going to be good but luther burton on i mean he showed promise He showed extreme promise, and we've talked about it multiple times, and he's popped out on film every time he's played. Yeah. Every time he's played. So I think it's a good move, especially for the Bears. It gives Josh Allen another target, another reliable target at that.
Starting point is 00:20:11 You know, and DJ Moore, there's some things that he does really, really well. Great at contestant catches. He can go deep. He can catch shallows. You can catch the bubbles. He can catch underneath, intermediate routes and short. and he get jiggy with the ball. So you got your damn near Swiss Army knife
Starting point is 00:20:28 when it comes to DJ Moore and him being able to do a multitude of things for you offensively. Hey, I like it. I like DJ Moore over there with Buffalo. I think it, I kind of piggyback what Ocho was saying. That reliable target that Josh Allen has been looking for, I think he has him one now. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:20:45 So I'm pretty sure he's happy about that. Yeah, yeah. Ocho get the young fella right, boy, Hey, Buffalo might be back in Ben there. Hey, boy, I got, I can't wait to see them boys. I think, I see them boys in April, too. Yeah. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Yeah. It's going to be interesting. They just, you know, hey, build on what you got. James Cooks keep running the football. And now you add another weapon with Shakur and Kincaid and Keon Coleman. DJ Moore steps right in. Let's see what they do. Because I don't know if the Patriots take.
Starting point is 00:21:24 a step back. The Patriots and the Ravens are the most likely potential trade partners for A.J. Brown per Jeff McLean. Philly is rumored to want at least a first for him. Ocho, where do you see A.J. Brown playing next year. Give me those two teams again. Patriots and the Ravens. I see him going to the Patriots.
Starting point is 00:21:47 I think it's probably going to happen. He's going to go to the Patriots. Obviously, Stefan Diggs was released today or maybe it was yesterday. I can't I can't I'm not sure exactly which day it was but Mike Brable very familiar with A.J. Brown. Very familiar with A.J. Brown. Absolutely. I think they're going to reunite again. It will give Drake May another reliable target.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Yes. Stefan Digg coming off a great season. You know, he's going to end up somewhere else probably Baltimore if I'm not mistaken, if my sources are correct. But A.J. Brown will probably be with the Patriots. just know I said it first and every time I've said anything about anybody going anywhere or anything sports related
Starting point is 00:22:29 I've been right every single time that's what we do at nightcap we get it right but don't you know why was everybody so upset at us when we were saying this is going to happen man y'all just trying y'all just talking about about feeling he ain't going to get tried
Starting point is 00:22:44 I said do y'all not see the writing on the wall yeah but those are actually fans of the team so fans of the team actually don't want said players to go anywhere despite the issues and the turmoil that's going on with their team. Don't you want to be told the truth though? Yeah. No, them Philly fans, them Philly fans,
Starting point is 00:23:02 they don't want to hear them. But Philly fans don't play, boy. You're right. You're right. But you know what? I think it'll be beneficial for both parties. Yeah. I think A.J. needs a change of scenery.
Starting point is 00:23:17 And I think they need a new, they need another place and another guy. It's the, it's the, and, and, and, And this was two years because even when they was winning the championship, he said he didn't get the fulfillment that he thought he was going to get. Yeah. And last year was bad. Last year was bad.
Starting point is 00:23:34 But who they're going to replace him with, okay, Ocho? If they go to give up A.J. If Philly give up A.J. Brown, who are they going to replace him with? That's a good one right there. Because if I get a first for him, you know, there's normally depth at the receiver position. Mm-hmm. You know, you know if you're going to Ocho, you know you could normally go in that
Starting point is 00:23:54 to get you a DB or not excuse me a wire receiver or a running back yeah it ain't it ain't gonna be no AJ Brown no it ain't gonna be that but you know what you get you can't get was that the dad show gets some goddamn speed yes you get you get you some speed and hopefully that speed is able to develop into something nice I just think the thing is that it puts a lot of pressure on your quarterback it puts a lot of pressure pressure on your officer coordinator when I got to focus to try to get you the ball. Yeah, I understand. For me, I think as an officer coordinator,
Starting point is 00:24:27 you try to get the guy to ball early. But, you know, teams know you want to get him to ball early. So what I'm going to do, Ocho? I'm going to say, I'm going to roll the coverage. I'm going to take it away. Every time. And then I'm going to force you. And I know the longer it goes,
Starting point is 00:24:44 and he doesn't get the ball, where that plays into my hands. There you go. You say it's getting frustrated. Yeah, that's all I need. I know Ocho woke the ball. Hey, I need you the first quarter, first quarter to half.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Don't you let Ocho touch this ball? Oh, I'm a touch in that. Hey, double team, five. Hey, Joe, in the first quarter, I will look on the sideline. He's going to be over there like this here. Hey, mad as hell. I was like, look at it.

Dak Prescott spoke about George Pickers and the franchise tag. Let's take a listen to what Dak had to say, guys. Uh-oh. Yeah, George loves football.
Starting point is 00:28:32 That's the one thing about it. I just want him to know, don't change your love for football. Don't get in the business mind of this. You played last year on one year for not even that much, right? So if you can go 30, whatever it is now, it's the same thing I got. So, you know, when I'm franchise, so, hey, go do it. At the end of the day, bet on yourself. He's a hell of a player.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Hopefully we can get him long term and sign that. But if not, I think the way that he plays the game and the person that he is, it'll be just fine. Hey, look, look, I'm with deck on this. I understand you and Ocho. Oh, man, pay the man his money, make sure he, that man ain't going to get his money. Okay, Ocho, he just got to do it another year, man. Do it another year for it. Then we get it in a long term.
Starting point is 00:29:18 We'll gop you up. You know what I'm talking about? Make sure you're straight. Well, come on. Man, come on. The difference is, Joe, is that a quarterback can get hurt and get his money. You see Josh out, I'm excuse me,
Starting point is 00:29:32 you see Daniel Jones coming off on Achilles going to get his money. You see First Cousins? Yeah. Y-receiver or any other position, you coming off Achilles, you're not getting no big money. All right, listen.
Starting point is 00:29:45 You think a wide receiver can tear his Achilles and still get a top contract like Daniel Jones or like First Cousons? No, no, I know that ain't possible. I know that ain't possible. I know that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, it's, that's, you know, , hey, hey, hey, Joe, Joe, you, Joe, you, you, listen, Joe, man, I, I love you, I love, I love, I love Dallas fans, too. Dallas fans, they got, they got, they kind of bit upset at me, you know, because I've been talking about the George Picking
Starting point is 00:30:17 situation and wanted him to leave. It's not that I want him to leave. Dallas fans, I love you. You know I adore y'all. You all been good to me and I've been good to you. But I'm just understanding. I want y'all to separate your love for the Dallas Cowboys because George Piggins is the part of it.
Starting point is 00:30:31 I just want George Piggins to be able to get what's best for him. I understand. No, no, no, he's not. Because I just heard Dax say, bed on yourself. Bet on yourself and do it one more year. I heard him sneak that in that. Because Dax said he had to go through that. He understands.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Yeah, but it's different because he also, understand even if I got hurt, which he did when he dislocated his ankle. Thank you. He still got paid. But he's a quarterback now. He can do that. Yeah. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:30:59 I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Joe, what's my favorite word? Tada. Yeah, hey, there it is. Hey, Joe, Joe, let's say George Pickings play on that, on that franchise tag, right? Yeah. 28, 29, 30 men, whatever it might be, right?
Starting point is 00:31:15 Yeah. He go out there and he get hurt. Come on, man. Stop thinking what you're up. Let me finish. Let me finish. He get hurt. Joe, he don't have no security.
Starting point is 00:31:24 He had no security. Now, what I'm hoping for Dallas Cowboys fans, because I'm a fan of y'all, because y'all are a fan of me, and I'm a fan of the star. I just don't like the way your owner operates some time, and you should neither. Now, I'm hoping that they gave him the franchise tag
Starting point is 00:31:39 to be able to work on a long-term deal. They got until July. I'm hoping. We got to July 14th to be exact if I'm not mistaken. So I'm hoping. Joe. I'm hoping that's the case because I love the duo. I love having a dual threat. I love that having those two weapons, you know, in this arsenal, you know, but one of the things you also do need is you need defense because now you got all this high power on offense
Starting point is 00:32:05 and you can't stop goddamn nobody. You can't stop a goddamn running nose. Guess who they remind me of? Who? Tadda! The damn baby. The damn baby. You're talking to all that bad. Nobody's right here on that. Get a job. Hey, Joe. I'm talking, I'm talking good. I ain't being disrespectful. Ain't nobody trying to hear that.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Look, man. Look, we need Pekers on this tag. We're gonna take care. Pek is gonna get taken care of, Ocho. Okay, Ocho, we just gotta come out and ball out. But yeah, we do need to be for our defense. We need, like Aung say, we need a hell raise who can get out to that quarterback. Cause, boy, look at here.
Starting point is 00:32:42 We struggle this passion in that area, especially defensively. We got cooked. Yeah. Joe, you've been to a Cowboys game yet? No, I ain't, I ain't been the one in the minute, huh? Hey, you ain't no real fan, Joe. Yeah, cheer, Joe, Cho, Ocho, Ocho, you got a cheer. Bad Joe, Joe, too, but who'd everybody, you're up?
Starting point is 00:33:00 Yeah, ta-da-da out of the bingoes, him. Hey, don't do that. Don't do that. Listen, your owner, Jerry said he's going to make a splash. Jerry said he's going to spend money this offseason. Well, let's see. Which is something that the Cowboys don't do. Give him a chance.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Give him a chance. Game 30 years. But he said, you got the man worried. All he got is his word. He said he's going to spend some money this summer, man. Let's see what he do. Hey, hey, Joe, I don't know if you've been around. Boy, I don't know what Rocky you've been under,
Starting point is 00:33:30 but his word ain't been good for a long time. Yeah, but Cowboys fan, I'm hoping you all get what y'all looking for, man. You know, I'm on here. I'm here for y'all. I'm just telling you my opinion in high field. I know your allegiance is to your team and the players that are on it. Therefore you want said players there. But also, I think it's also selfish to not want him to maximize
Starting point is 00:33:54 and get as much as he can, especially going out there and getting hurt on that franchise. Come on, man. Stop talking about the man getting hurt. You are killing me with this, man. I'm not kidding. I mean, Joe, we're just being, I'm just being honest. Hey, Joe. You got to weigh all your eyes.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Oh, Joe, let me ask you this. Hey, Joe, you got insurance? Yeah. Tada! Why you got insurance? See? Listen, man. Look, he's going to be all right.
Starting point is 00:34:22 He going to be all right. I want him to get, I want him to get, I want him to get, hold on $5.255. Hey, if he get $155 years, $160 million, $100 million, $100 million guaranteed on Joe. I'm good. Damn, that's number one. He's going to get paid more than CD. Dang, boy, I got, hey, I got signed after CD. CD contract, two, three years old.
Starting point is 00:34:47 This one brand new. Fresh out the press. Damn. Fresh off the press. All right, we'll get you on this one, guys. It's top five,
Starting point is 00:34:55 five and say, hold on. I'm going to ask something. I want to go back to basketball with quick. Hey, Joe, you played in Boston, right?
Starting point is 00:35:01 Yeah. You know anybody there? How much court side tickets in Boston costs? It's not that expensive, huh? Yeah, yeah, that's one of the problems. Yeah, you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:35:13 What do you think? Just give me a number. And please don't say it's like being at a goddamn. damn liquor game. It's probably going to run you about 25, 30 K for a floor seat. Hey, you know what?
Starting point is 00:35:23 Hang up the phone, Joe. Hang up the phone. I ain't telling no lie to you. Depending on what you can go to him. What game are you trying to see? No, I mean, listen, my baby, my baby going back to she's going back to Boston. I'm like, she's going back to Boston Saturday.
Starting point is 00:35:36 I'm like, you know what? I'm going on down to Boston. And since I don't know what to do down there, it ain't football season, so what's the next best thing that I could do? Go to it. Maybe go to a red sauce game. Yeah, while I'm there, I might as well hit the guy
Starting point is 00:35:47 and the damn self the game. Huh? They're in spring training and those are not in spring training is getting ready for the baseball classic. Oh, my bad. Well, I ain't, I ain't know what.
Starting point is 00:35:59 But I'm saying what game you want to see. It all depends on what game you want to see. If you're trying to see a Lakers or you're trying to see somebody with better players or better teams, it's going to cost you. Oh, well, I just, I just want to go to a game. Whatever's coming up soon.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Like, I'm talking about, you know. You're on floor seats. Hey, Joe, I'm not going to no game where my feet ain't on the hardwood, Joe. Oh, yeah, yeah, you're going to be, if you're going to be looking to spend lead 30 to 40K. Well, I tell you what, that's out of dough.

We OG fans been missing it for a long time now. So please let us know. And please bring it back. You know, I've been watching old videos of Spelosynco

Starting point is 00:41:15 Black Bowers 26 as a Lake of Die Hard fan, that old man got to pretend he hurt, came back in the game, then took himself out. Please retire. 4121, 101. If you're the self-proclaimed goat, take over the game. That's why at 41 of age, man, they still expect him to play like he's 25. That's why you know he's great.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Yeah. You don't expect that. You don't expect that. You've never expected that from nobody that was 37, 38, 40. Just a greatness of goat. I got no chill. Dominant Aitin looks low like disappear Aiton. Ooh, Lord.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Don't get me startled on that guy. Hopper King, Zion or Trey Murphy to Detroit to help Cade next season. We. Boy, hey, Ocho. Ocho, I don't know if you've seen that Zion, what's the other kid name? Trey Murphy? Yeah, Trey Murphy. Hey, boy, Detroit can.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Hey, look, I think Zion ain't nothing to be played with no way. I just think he need to be in a situation to where he's around good veteran leadership of guys who work hard. You know what I mean? Yes. I think you put him in a different environment around some different type of players. You're going to see a different guy.
Starting point is 00:42:37 But he's dominant every time he steps on the floor. I think he can help anybody. I ain't going to lie to you. That'll be a nice move. I like Trey Murphy. Oh, I do too. I do too. I think he'd be great.
Starting point is 00:42:48 I think he'll better fit than actually. Tobias. Tobias. Yeah. Yeah, he'll a lot younger. I wonder who the pistons have to give up. The Biles. Yeah, the pistons take that in the heartbeat.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Philly talk with P.A. Spurs are hot. Hornets on a historical run. OKC is back. Tatum coming back. Pistons are good again, and y'all are talking about a team that can't defend. We talked about the spurs. We talked about the spurs having to play the Pistons.
Starting point is 00:43:26 We talked about them. Okay. Okay, C didn't play tonight. When OKC played the other night, we talked about Shade him. Okay. We talked about Tatum coming back. We talked about that.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Okay. Maybe they were late. Huh? They might have been late. But Philly, you follow here. He leave all these chats. He's in the chat all the time. He knows we talked about it.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Normally we talk about the team that played that night. We talked about. about the Spurs, they played the pistons. We took, this is how it normally worked. And chat y'all know this. In football, we always lead with the game that just ended. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:13 In basketball, we lead with the game that just ended. Then we get to the game that occurred earlier. We just did that. Yeah. We talked about Jason Tatum coming back off the Achilles injury. Matter of fact, we talked about the. Hornets last night. Oh, my bad.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Did you not get that one, Philly? You didn't get that when we talked about them last night, huh? And we talked about that had won six straight games by at least 15 points. You missed that part, huh? And we talked about lamello. And we talked about Cinepple. And we talked about bridges. You missed that part, huh?
Starting point is 00:44:54 Okay. You got them. Drew Jitsu 83. Y'all had messed up past my bad time last night. I'm dragging ass and finishing this. tomorrow. I so excited about the big three assuming you'll be healthy. Oh, yeah,
Starting point is 00:45:11 that's the plan. That's the plan. I got a couple moves I got to make. I got a couple people I got to go see before the big three start up. I'm going to start this little one-on-one spree. I got a particular person who I'm started with. Oh, yeah,
Starting point is 00:45:27 he knows where you. Oh, you started with that one? Yeah. He knows exactly what I'm talking about. Who that? That, I, Kyle? You put a name on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Ocho Sanko. Hey, it is funny. You start that, that, you know, that one-on-one spree, it might be a one-stop shop, well. No, it might stop here with me. Hey, Joe, this is what you don't understand, Joe, it's not about me beating you. I'm not going to beat you at your game. You're one of the best to ever do it. That's not the point.
Starting point is 00:45:59 The point is to show you that it ain't going to be sweet as you think it's going to be. I'm going to show you that I'm able to to score on you, Joe. I'm able to score for you, Joe. I'm gonna show you. I'm able to sit in the chair, Joe. I'm able to sit in the chair and slide my feet, left the right, like Coach Carter taught them boys in the movie.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm trying to show you, Joe. I'm gonna be in your face, I'm a hand in your face, you turn, you try to back me down, elbow in the back. Joe, I'm telling you, I don't need bricks in my back pocket, Joe, I got some not very many people do, Joe. That's hard, Joe. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:34 You can't measure this, Joe. Okay. I'm about that life. Hey, hey, like, whatever type of time you on, Joe. Yeah, you can be about that life. Like dude said on life. I'm gonna start part two of my killing spree on your ass.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Let's believe that. Yeah. No, I'm goblin. Love the stream. What's the best TD and Ocho got in his memory? And is there anyone in the current league that comes, close. That's you, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:47:12 He would say my best what? What's the best T.D. That Ocho got in his memory. And is there anyone close in the current league that comes close to you? My best TD. I'm assuming he means celebration, huh? Yeah. Oh, for me, the best to me, the Hall of Fame jacket.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Hall of Fame jacket to me. When you made your own? Made my own jacket. You like that better than the proposal? Oh, to the cheerleader. Yeah. That's a good one. You had to some railroad?
Starting point is 00:47:43 Oh, that, oh, that cost me about 50 grand. Did it? That was a good one. Yeah, that was a good one. Where that big ass had at? Oh, I still got it. I still got it. My home boy sent me that all right from Mexico.
Starting point is 00:47:54 That really came all right from Mexico just so I could use it for the celebration. But, yeah, that Hall of Fame, Jagger celebration to me, you know, and how I thought about it, Joe, knowing I'm going to cross the 10,000 yard mark, if I got over 30 yards. Yeah. With that deep ball against the Ravens, that cost the 10,000 yard mark. And at that moment, I felt, you know what, they're not putting my little badass in there anyway.
Starting point is 00:48:19 I'm going to make my own damn jacket. Yeah, yeah. That's how the idea came about. Black Moses playing for 30 years, you should break all the records. Please retire. All I know is that Kobe played 20 years. Did he break the record?
Starting point is 00:48:32 Mm. At the 20 year, at the one year mark, two year three, all the way to 20, LeBron had scored more points than Kobe. Kareem had the record at 20. LeBron broke every record Kareem had at the age of 20. So in 20 years, LeBron was the all-time leading score.
Starting point is 00:48:56 I'm confused. So if you look at it, if you look at Kobe ended up with 33,000 points and played 20 seasons. LeBron had 39,000 points in 20 seasons. Look, I ain't good with math. I told y'all multiplications, I wouldn't do it. But last I checked, 39 is more than 33.
Starting point is 00:49:18 So if I score more points in the same amount of years, what are we missing? What are we missing? Come on, Black Moses. Hop back in the chat. Warren Palavex, 1997, gentlemen, who y'all got in order? Britain Wood, Al Green, Smoky Robinson, Marvin Gaye first.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Marvin Gay is first. When it comes to singing, Ochoa, I'm going to let you enjoy having. When it comes to R&B, Marvin Gaye is always going to be first. Go ahead, O'Jell. I'm going to say, Al Green the second. You got Al over Smokey?
Starting point is 00:50:00 Smoky. Yes, what do you mean? Listen, I love Smokey Robinson. I have all his stuff. But we're talking about Al Green, huh? You got Al Green on Sam Cook? Oh. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Oh. I do. I got him over Sam Cook. Sam Cooke. You got him. I agree on Sam. Yeah, Sam bad boy. He's a bad boy.
Starting point is 00:50:25 I know he's a bad boy. Your bad boy. Honestly, all of them bad, man. Yes. All of them bad, but you start, here's the thing. It's supposed to be difficult when you talk about the best of the best. It's supposed to be splitting hairs. And it's supposed to be like, damn.
Starting point is 00:50:41 I don't, I don't know. I don't know. Boy. Sam cook, boy. Sam, man, hey Sam get out I mean, everybody wants to talk about a change going to come,
Starting point is 00:50:59 but he way, way, way deeper than that. Yeah, way deeper than that. Too, smile, a little smoking got some hits too now. Oh, yeah, smoke, man, goodness gracious. Ocho, what's your, uh, Ocho, what's your top three favorite quotes that Uncle is saying? We're going to have, hey, bring your pad, he wrote him down, he got him down,
Starting point is 00:51:17 he got him next year, next week. I got to get my pad. Fuzz Light, you said, ISO. I need you to get that Mr. Tendanism and create a restaurant. Y'all can be Mr. BTA and still. Hey, he ain't good fool on here, boy. T.S. Carwage Detail Service, Yokish or Kauai MVP this season. Kauai is not going to win enough games.
Starting point is 00:51:42 What you mean? Don't get, hey, but Kauai ball. He ain't going to lie. He's been bawling, but he ain't. Yes. No, but he's been doing. doing his thing. I give him that. I ain't going to lie. The boy been doing his thing, but Yolkid is
Starting point is 00:51:53 just, he's just guilty out there. The man by the average, another triple, damn double. So the envy for me is going to be Yokic, Shay, Kaye, Jalen Brown, and Luca. That's going to be the guy, the five guys, I believe, in the MVP discussion. What's your
Starting point is 00:52:09 thing, Joe? Yeah, I do too. I think it's and I think it's going to... Wembe might get some votes, too. Women might be in there. He might be, but I think it's going to come down to about the last couple weeks of the season before they really decide. That's how close it is. Yep, I agree. Pappy Ray, what's up King Isso? What's the difference between playing with Paul Pierce and KJ at Boston and then later in Brooklyn when they were older? Well, Paul, my rookie year was Paul 50 in the league. So he had just signed this big
Starting point is 00:52:38 deal for like 96 million, okay, Ocho. So he was in rare form. You couldn't, you couldn't tell Paul nothing. He was unstoppable. Like I said, he finished in the top three and scoring my rookie year. So he was a different player versus when I seen him a decade later, I played with him a decade later in Brooklyn. Things were, they were a little different. I mean, obviously, mentally wise, you know, he was the same guy, but, you know, it was a lot different, man. He was young in Boston, reckless at times.
Starting point is 00:53:10 But as he got older, you know, they had won a championship together, so they brought that championship pedigree to Brooklyn. And we had a good, we had a good run, man. Brooke Lopez, he wasn't shooting threes at the time. No, and he played like a big. Yeah, and he broke his foot. That's what people don't know. He broke his foot.
Starting point is 00:53:30 And we had to play KG at the 5 and that made us faster. And we ended up getting out this hole, man. We started off like 5 and 15. We were 10 games under 500 on the front of Sports Illustrated. I'm like, man, we out here getting our ass kicked. They didn't have us on Sports Illustrated. It was embarrassing. So we end up digging our way out the hole.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Like the seventh seed in the playoffs and end up playing in Toronto, who was a two seed, and we beat them in the first round. But we were short-handed the whole playoffs. I mean, the whole season because Brooke Lopez got hurt. He wasn't nowhere near the player he is now. Black Moses, I know y'all don't F with the Steelers, but who should we get? A lot of Steelers. Black, Moses, what you're talking about?
Starting point is 00:54:13 Y'all probably-lawed Steelers. Y'all probably to get another wide receiver. Shoot, the first order of business is what we're doing at the quarterback position. notice I said, what we? Because right now, I'm talking to you black mothers, so is we. Even I'm not, even though I'm not a Steelers fan. The first order of business of what are we doing at the quarter of a position. Once we figure out, then we worry about everything else.
Starting point is 00:54:34 But like Unks said, I'm a piggyback on what Unks said, getting another viable target. Yep. Getting another viable target that can open up thing for D.K. And take some of the pressure off his ass for a goddamn change. Raymond Felton always say love us Cowboys fans and they'll say some bulljad.
Starting point is 00:54:56 I guess he talked about you, Ocho. He said you always love the Cowboys fans and did say some bulljad. He do. But I still love you though. Sometimes your mama say you love you but she still beat you, ain't she? I don't change the love she had for you
Starting point is 00:55:11 when she gives you that woman. You can't say be disciplined. Yeah, I don't want us to get in trouble, Joe, let's say discipline. But, okay, discipline. It makes it hard to believe she'd love you after that discipline, too, don't. Hey, hold on, and she talks, hey, hey, especially when she talked to you on every, on every last. I told you not the, hey, look, and then she comes crazy to like, baby, you're okay, like,
Starting point is 00:55:39 ah, come on now, come on. You won't love me? No. I'm full. I just ate her ass cutting. I'm full. I don't want nothing else. Mark 137 says
Starting point is 00:55:52 Just turned 22 today. May I please get a birthday shout-out over love, nightcap fan, been listening every day since y'all boys started. Much love. God bless. Mark.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Happy birthday, bro. 22? Happy birthday. What? What? 22. Couldn't. Yesterday.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Couldn't. I've been more like yesterday. Couldn't. 1990. Ninety. It was two months after I had got drafted. Yeah. Cut in up.
Starting point is 00:56:17 I already know it. Couldn't know. But it was two months before I went to Daytona, Black College Beach Week. That was the first time that I went. We? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Tell me more.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Tell me more. We went on Bethune campus. Yeah. Hey. Hey. What you were driving? What you were driving? I had old big,
Starting point is 00:56:44 oh, had old big body bins. Ooh, 500, S 500? Three. Well, they were white.
Starting point is 00:56:52 All white. Peanut butter, guts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the only car that I've ever had with peanut butter guts.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Yeah. Ooh. Hold on. Oh, convertible? No, I wasn't convertible. I came, I came to following you
Starting point is 00:57:05 with the convertible. You had the SEL. I came to following you with S&. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh, Joe, what you were doing at 22? Huh?
Starting point is 00:57:17 What you were doing at 22? Shoot, Joe, I were playing video games and working on my craft, Joe. I'm saying you was in college still or you was in the pro? I might have been my rookie year, probably. Yeah. Yeah, it might have been my rookie year, Joe. All I did was play video games, Joe. Play video games and train.
Starting point is 00:57:39 That's it, boy. Same here. Same here. Black Moses. Some guys play. for stats. Some guys play for chips, aka rings. I'm back. So anybody
Starting point is 00:57:51 who's ever had the most? So I guess Robert Ory played for rings because he got more than five. Yeah. Shit, Robert got about eight and nine on him. He got seven. Seven? Yeah. God damn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:06 He got three. He got two with Houston, three with the Lakers, and two with San Antonio. Yeah. So whomever, so I guess Tom Brady was the only quarterback that played for rings. No other quarterback because Tom has the most. You see how flawed the logic that is? Come on, guys.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Two things can be true. Oh, you like COVID. Got no problem with that. You like George. Got no problem with that. You like Tim Duncan. You like Shaq. You like whatever.
Starting point is 00:58:35 But I thought, but see, you see what you do? I thought rings was a team accomplishment. Oh, you like T. But see, when y'all did you? talking about he couldn't score 81, he couldn't score 60, he couldn't score 50. Huh, interesting. Find it very interesting. Y'all like stats when it favors your guys.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Okay, okay, okay, I like, okay, Black Moses, I got you, I see how you do, I see, I'm picking up what you're putting down. It depends. It depends. You know, the goal post move depending on who they talk about, man. Exactly. You know how that work. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Exactly At first it was this It was that Y'all talked about points And he played all this time In 20 years Look at the numbers They don't lie
Starting point is 00:59:34 One guy got Okay Kobe has five championships Two finals MVPs One guy has four championships Four finals MVP's That's I mean come on now What we're doing here Huh? Just checking.
Starting point is 01:00:00 Monte Lewis 501, ISO, Weedham Boys, Team 501. Hello. How many times we see players get paid and not show up? Do it another year, then get paid. We need defense first. I saw Weidam Boys, Team 501. Weedum Boys. Hey, that's a career.
Starting point is 01:00:20 501, that's a career, man. I know, I know. Yeah. Because I thought y'all was talking about, I thought y'all was talking about blue jeans. Oh, man, come on, man. The button flies. Come on, come on. We got, hey, look, look.
Starting point is 01:00:33 You know what they're talking about. Like, just show us, just give us one more good year, man. We don't mind pulling out the checkbook. Make sure you get by one 70. You hear me? You get 170? What's, what, what's, he going to reset the market? If he have a hell of a year, he have another year like he had this year.
Starting point is 01:00:51 I think Pooka going to reset the market. Oh, yeah. Him or J.S.N. I think he'll go set the return. set the market. Oh, Puga definitely doing that. Because Pooka been putting up numbers since he stepped foot in the league.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Right situation, right scheme. And a big body that can take, get play through contact. Mm-hmm. Big boy.
Starting point is 01:01:21 That concludes this episode of Nightcap. We want to thank each and every one of you for joining us. Y'all know who I am. I'm your favorite up and my partner and co-host. Cincinnati Great. That is Chad Ochosinko Johnson and University of Arkansas alum. Hey, Joe. What a...
Starting point is 01:01:38 I was showing, Joe, my jersey. Hey, nobody got this. Ask him about, John. Yeah. Yeah. Cartel. Let's baseball. Baseball.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Yeah. You can hit, you can, you can, you can, you can hit the ball. No. Oh, okay. Nope. I ain't, I ain't for to see any, I ain't been to hold you, Joe. No. So even if we use a machine, even if we use a little machine, you could.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Joe, I got one eye, Joe. Right, right, right, right. I could barely catch the football. I was explaining the unc if you, if you watch, if you ever watch any clip of mine, you know how I, if you watch, if you watch the ball out here. Yeah. If you ever watch me play or catch a ball, you ever notice, I always catch the ball. I got to wait till it get right up on me. Every pass I catch is right here in my face, Joe.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Hey, hey, so look, hold on a while. why we're on this subject. What's up with this Logan Powell thing? That man, he calling y'all all y'all out. I had to send it to you. What's up with Logan? Oh, yeah, I... It's easy to call some...
Starting point is 01:02:44 But see, here's the thing. Labion Bell challenged him, and he says he don't want to fight somebody that are where to fight. But he wants to fight somebody that doesn't fight. Miles Garrett is not a boxer. Fight somebody that box. Now, if you want to make it fair,
Starting point is 01:02:57 okay, go around with Miles Garrett or some NFL player, then you have to bring your ass on the football. See, he butt hurt for what Tom Brady said to him. Don Brady called about he, he said about he could do this move off the top rope. And Tom Brady said, yeah, that's cute. But he said, Tom said, that's cute. Yeah. He said, look, and he said, well, I play with all the state running back.
Starting point is 01:03:19 I rushed for 1,200 yards. Tom Brady said, yeah, everybody was great in high school. I got seven Super Bowl. Nobody gives an issue. So he kind of gotten his feelings about that. You don't get, what good is that if, Let's just say a former basketball player says, I'm going to challenge somebody to shoot that doesn't shoot basketball.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Right, right. That ain't no challenge. You've got to challenge somebody to do that. Labion Bell says, I'll step up. He won't boxing. And you say, well, LeVion is not a draw. You're the draw. Miles Garrett is not a draw or some NFL player is not a draw in boxing.
Starting point is 01:03:56 You want to say, oh, I beat an NFL player at boxing. No, beat a boxer at boxing. That's impressive. Yeah. Somebody give him a little run for his money out there. Yeah, look, I'm not saying the guy's not talent. He is. I mean, the stuff that he does and what he does in WWE,
Starting point is 01:04:18 I mean, the way he can tort and twist and do all that stuff, he's phenomenal. He really is. I ain't going to take anything away from him. I think he's immensely talented. But to challenge somebody in something that they don't do and that you've done, Yeah, I'm confused.
Starting point is 01:04:36 Labion ready? Labion box. Yeah, any of the football players, honestly, regards to size, strength, regards of conditioning, how in shape they are, they get in that boxing ring, they're probably gas out in the first minute, Joe. Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Like the first minute, Joe, it's different. You got to pay. Is it different kind of conditioning? Box Labion. Yeah, it's a different kind of condition and just, it's weird. If I'm Miles Garrett, I say, I tell you what, give me 10 pass rushes. You block me one time. I'll get in the ring and box you.
