The Lakers fell to the Warriors last night,

134-120 on Tuesday night on their home floor at the Crip. Yeah, somebody told me that the Warriors are going to make 26 threes and Draymond was going to be 5-5 during the first half. Steph Curry was going to be 5-5 during the first half. Steph Curry was going to be 5-5 or 6-6. Klay Thompson always shoots the lights out of the building when he comes for the most part.

During this week's episode of Mind Game Podcast, what LeBron shares with JJ Reddick, he explained why it's so difficult to guard Steph. He said, guarding Steph is uncomfortable. And the problem with guys in our league, they're not comfortable being uncomfortable. And that's why Steph and Golden State will always be relevant

because they play an uncomfortable style of play. When asked if he hates the Warriors style of play, LeBron responded, I hate it when you don't have the personnel to match up. I hate it. No, no, no, that's facts, right? But Steph has been a unique player I hate it. No, no, no. That's facts, right? Steph has been a unique...

He's been a unique star that no one has put the emphasis on. And that is his conditioning and his moving. We have... Second none. We have changed the lead to mimic Golden State warrior Steph Curry without dissecting Steph Curry for who Steph Curry is. Yes, he can shoot the ball. That's not his skill.

His skill is he's very great moving without the ball in impeccable shape. Right? great moving without the ball in impeccable shape, right? That allows him to move and move. Like he has the Rip Hamilton mixed in with the Miller, the Reggie Miller, right? You have a guy who's moving 100 miles an hour all the time. So if you're not in shape, his shape, to keep up with him, you are not comfortable guarding him.

That is the problem with him, that he himself by far in the last 10 years, 9, 10 years, has been probably the most in shape basketball player that's played. Yeah.

Like his usage of running and moving without the ball is on another level. And that is what makes him great. And how do you keep, because when we get tired, we're not the same people. You can't run the routes with the same ferocity. That's why when guys run a couple of goals in the two-minute drill, they tap their head and they come out and somebody else comes in. He has to maintain that pace, and he might start at the top, and then he'll go up under, and then he'll come through.

He just weaves his way through. I mean, he's in and out of traffic. Yep. And you can never relax with him. Nope. The moment you relax is that's when you get bit. It's kind of like playing Steph Curry is like being a snake handler. If you ever relax, you get bit.

Yep. You relax, he's going to splash a three in your eyes. And then when you try to overplay him, he backdo you, and then he lays the ball up. So it's so hard to be right with him. And, yeah, we've never seen anything like him. He's so great that he's changed the way the league plays. Everybody wants to find Steph Curry.

Everybody wants to find guys that can launch up threes. And you got a 7'5 guy that's shooting threes. I can tell you right now, the problem with that is you're never going to find another Steph Curry because you rest too much. You got too many days off, right? He ain't taking a day off from cardio. No.

This reminds me of Steve Nash. When we had to guard Steve Nash, the week before we got to them, I was doing extra treadmill stuff. Even though we're going to have three or four games before we get to them, because I knew every time we scored, he was gone.

So for the most part, I'm always in full speed. There was no walking the ball. Like, for me to get rest, I had to walk the ball up. Right. I had to wrestle offense against Steve Nash, right? That's the same thing with Curry. You have to rest on your offense because when he has the ball,

you're in full speed the whole time. And the problem is, it's just not Steph. It's Clay also. They also. That's the problem. I mean, if it's a pawn and it's like, you know what? There's a gator in there. Okay, I see the gator over there.

But it's that, damn, it's two of them. Two of them. And that's the problem. And then you had Kevin Durant. That's the doubt. I mean, it was I mean, it's just amazing. But I'm going to just be honest with you.

We ain't worried about them right now. Okay? We're not worried about all that shotting and shooting that they did. They in temp spots still. Yeah. Yeah. We, uh,

we didn't, they didn't have it last night. Um, D low didn't have it going last night. LeBron LeBron was what? 33, 11 and seven played, prayed,

played really well. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, was what, 33-11-7. Played really well. Reeves played really well. But we need to deload and hit some of them threes early to match. And every time they got it close, they got it to four. And then GP the second, he hit a couple.

Wiggins couldn't miss from three last night. I can tell the way the game. I would say, when Draymond hit, I'd say, ah, here we go. I'd say, if Draymond hitting him, what the hell you think Stephen Clay going to do? If he hitting him. Like, this is, listen, I was hoping Phoenix lost. I was hoping they lost, but they took that win on.

And this is getting crunchy. Because Golden State got three games left. Blazers, Pelicans, Jazz, which... They're going to win all those. Now, this is the problem. This is what's good. Pelicans, okay. This is what's good.

Now, this is the problem. This is what's good. Okay. This is what's good. If New Orleans loses to Golden, they got to play Golden State and the Lakers. If they lose to both of them, they can be in the eighth seed. Phoenix can go to the sixth seed. We can get the eighth seed. Phoenix can go to the sixth seed.

We can get the seventh seed. We need to be seventh seed. You need to win one game and you're in the playoffs. And I think that's what's going to happen. Because New Orleans have what? They got three more games? Yeah. Right? They got Golden State, Lakers, and what?

The Grizzlies? Right? Yeah, I think the Lakers got the Grizzlies on Friday. Yeah, we got two games. We got the Grizzlies and the Pelicans left. Where do they play the Pelicans? In New Orleans? It don't even matter.

We smacking both of them. Well, they need to. Yeah, yeah what happens is if Golden State beats Grizzlies if who else plays against them? Golden State has Grizzlies.

If Grizzlies lose two more games they are No. Never mind. Because they only got 32 losses. And the Lakers got 34, right? Or 35? Huh? Lakers got what? 34, 35?

They got 35. Yeah. Yeah. They need to lose out. They need to lose out. But even if they get to the seventh spot, if we can get to the sixth spot, because Sacramento has, they got Suns and the Blazers.

So they go 1-1 and we go 2-0. They needed one of those games. They either needed the game last night or the game that AD went down in. Both of them, preferably. We trying to get out of Denver's eye. I'm sorry. We trying to get out of Denver's eye. You must rather be out of the NBA eye.

You be out of the play-in, play-out. We can't get out of the play-in. We good. We solid. Everybody in the play-in is solid. NBA scouts project Bronny James to be a Patrick Beverly 2.0. According to the latest projections from scouts, Bronny upside compared to veterans like Patrick Beverly

and other small defensive-oriented guards. The ringer said James projects as more of a disruptor. Comparison is like these are Patrick Beverly, De'Veon Mitchell, Norris Cole. Beverly has had the longest career of the three because he's the best shooter, 37%, three-point shooter from three. But all three were respectable defenders.

Bronny will follow in their footstep to catch on with a winning team. What do you think? What do you think? What's his upside? What's the best Bronny can be? Okay, so it's difficult because he has a Westbrook engine, right? So he has a 43-inch vert.

He has all the fast-twitch muscles. So he has Westbrook's engine in him, right? He uses a vert defense. He can pass the ball. He has great vision. He knows how to play. He's very unselfish, which he's too unselfish. He can hit the shot. Didn't shoot very well in college so far.

But when he turns it on, he turns it on. He can be a more explosive Drew Holiday type of player. Patrick Beverly is defense. Patrick Beverly was a scorer, but Patrick

Beverly didn't have the physical tools to be a good offensive player at the NBA level. He averaged 37 in high school, but to be a good offensive player at the NBA level. I mean, he averaged 37 in high school, but to be a guy, you can get... There are going to be times where

you get a switch on Bronny, Bronny's taking it to the basket. Right? And he can jump. So he's not offensively minded, but he has the tools. The people they named

that his game is after, he's way more athletic and skilled than those guys. You think he'll be a late first round pick? This year? Or is he going back to school? I think it's one of those things where you test it.

This is the advantage. This is the advantage that these kids have today. I'm going back to school, but I get to test it. Now, if I test it and ace the test, I'm staying. I'm staying in the draft, right? There's been guys that they were projected late first, the Matrix, right? Sean Marion, late first round,

had a standout workout lottery, right? Right, he went from late first to a lottery pick. So, you know, he goes out there and he starts showing that his real attribute, you start putting him against other players that are supposed to be drafted in the first round. Right? And he can put himself against some of those guys and he's D-ing up and getting to the basket. He can shoot in a draft. But for the most part, you go and test the waters.

You go back to school. You got musclemen coming in offensively minded guy plays four guards up tempo shoot a lot of threes probably put some more offense into his his mind where hey I need you to be more selfish right I need you to selfish and let him average about anywhere from 10 to 16 next year and then into the draft.

Russell Westbrook says he's the best NBA's bench player. He said, ain't nobody better than me coming off the bench in this league.

Russ has provided 11 points per game, five rebounds, and a little under five assists, often providing the spark up the bench with his energy, attacking, and aggression, and playmaking. Is Russell Westbrook the best player off the bench this season? Okay, you have to put it in the context that he is putting it in. Right.

No, he's the most accomplished player coming off the bench. He's not better this year than Malik Monk coming off the bench. But he don't have Malik Monk's time. You give him Malik Monk's time, he's going to be better than Malik Monk. That's what he's, that's the energy he's saying. You know, right now with the time he has and the team he has, he's averaging 11-4-5. time he has and the team he has he's averaging 11 four and five that is not westbrook right right i mean yeah he put with a number that

but for the amount of time that he's getting i mean he's got decent numbers yeah so you know the westbrook that he said that i got i got three other hall of famers playing i have to sacrifice you put me on the bench you give me bench time with the elite guys who's getting bench time. Oh, I'm blowing the numbers out of the way. I'm 18-7-7 and stuff like that. So I understand where he's coming from. Where he's coming from. When it comes

to this game of basketball and we talking about going out there playing, ain't nobody coming off this bench better than me. Right? Yeah, I'm playing 22 minutes, but I'm playing 22 minutes because I got James Harden. I got Paul George and Kawhi in front of me. Right. That's who I got in front of me.

I don't know. Well, Norman Powell might be better than he is right now. How many minutes Norman Powell get a night? But Norman Powell is supposed to score. My job ain't to score. My job is to give Norman Powell the ball. I'm supposed to give him the ball. I'm giving him the ball.

That's why he looks good. But if you want me to go out there and give you 20 and cut everybody off, yeah, we might not win shit. Yeah. Show you what I got to sustain. 26. Norman Powell averages 26 minutes a game. I don't think Russ is that.

What is Russ? Russ might be like 18. 22? About 22. What is Malik Monk? I mean, shit, Malik Monk might be at like 28. He's got to be at 28. I mean, it don't look like he's...

How many minutes is Malik Monk playing? Malik was balling before he tweaked that knee. I mean, it don't look like Malik Monk playing. Malik was balling for you to tweet that knee. I mean, he was going crazy. He was going with it, and I still believe he will win sixth man of the year. I think he's done enough. Malik is only averaging 26 minutes a night.

Only, but you're the go-to guy. Yes. But that's what I'm saying. There's a difference. Malik coming in as the go-to guy. Yes. But that's what I'm saying. There's a difference. Malik coming in as a go-to scorer, Russ Book is, I'm running the team. Two different jobs. You know, it's two different jobs.

Yes, they have to do different things. But I think Russ, in his role, does a great job. Malik, in his role, I hated to see Malik go, damn, I wanted to kill him to stay with the Lakers. Can you imagine him coming off the bench with the Lakers? But then that's who we need. That's what we need off the bench right now. I mean, we normally, we had good production

with Rui coming off the bench, but hell, the guy that was starting in front of Rui was so bad, we had to put Rui into the starting lineup. Oh, man. I can't wait to Christian Woods put that damn... I can't wait till he get back. Is he coming back this year? I think he's still

in Port Aran stuck at the girls' house still trying to find his... Oh, yeah. He done jumped the fence and got caught in the flat. The man put him on blocks. I don't trust a dude who don't know how to serve a person where you know where she live. She knew how to jump your damn gate

and take your license plate off, but you don't know how to serve her with no papers? Come on, dog. Yeah, man, y'all didn't. I mean, come on. She, I mean, look, how about this? Wait till she jump your gate,

God damn it. You're looking at the wrong house. Stop looking at her house. Look at your house. She's somewhere hiding in your garage. Damn. I can't find. Look on your camera. But they got a kid together, right? Yeah. Yeah, and so, Gil, but they got a, they got a kid together. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

And so, yeah, I think a lot of that has to do, I don't, you know, I, I don't want to be the one to put, put my, put my kids, mom in jail. I, and I, you know, I mean, I, I really, I mean, sometimes, you know, sometimes you have to do what you have to do but I was always conscious of that now I'm not so sure it was always reciprocated but you know I was very conscious of like damn that my kid was going to grow up one day like my dad

put my mom, had my mom put in jail had my mom arrested and I didn't want that on my conscience. But I also, you know, jumping the man fence and scratching his car and doing all kinds of foolishness. It's time out for that.

Don't be that. You know what the problem is with that? We have a conscience when it comes to, and the court said this, they said they're starting to lean to the less of the two evils. And the less of the two evils is the man. Usually when the man is coming to court, he's fighting for 50-50. man is coming to court, he's fighting for 50-50. When the woman

is coming to court, she's fighting for sole custody 100% every single time. Right? So the less of the two evils is the person who wants to have a 50-50. So with the two minds, that's a different playbook.

Right. Your job as the woman, you're trying to put me in jail so you can get full custody. As long as I'm unfit, so your job is to find me unfit, to find out what kind

of dirt to try to make me go crazy so you can get the full custody because a full custody comes with a better check. There's things as men eat so you can get the full custody because a full custody comes with a better check. Yeah. Right? So there's things as men we're not going to cross those lines because we do have a conscience.

Yeah, I just... Like even men who won full custody, right? Right. The ones who won full, they still gave back some. Yeah. Because I mean, shit, full it just took away the pay. I'm not trying to take your responsibility away. Right.

You're trying to take the responsibility and the money. Like, okay, you can get the money. Like, after you get the money, can I, now can I be the father? Yeah. That's the thing. I mean, you have to let, I think the thing is Gila like you know you when you young and you know

are you argue are you arguing are you disagreeing to be right or to do right because if we're trying to make a situation, if you're trying to be right, it ain't going to work. Because sometimes, you know, you get to say, yeah, I just want to be right. Are you arguing to be right or arguing for right? Those are two different things, Nigel. Yeah, I don't think that, listen,

well, I can only speak for myself. And I think for the most part, the courts are starting to really understand that the men want to do right. All men, for the most part, want to be in their children's lives. They just don't want to deal with what comes the other side of it. But it shouldn't cost me $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $30,000 a month to be in my child's life. Now, I ain't got no problem

paying. If you can show me, say, well, Shannon, baby formula costs $15,000 a month. Okay. And Pambas is another $20,000 a month. This is why I need $40,000 for the kid. Okay, boom. Come on now. I was in court and we were doing family to family therapists.

And I said, this is not a parenting issue. This is a money issue. I said, all these women and men in here, this is a fight about money. This is not a fight about parenting. If you took money out of the equation and said, hey, why can't this person take care of their kids? They don't have an answer for you. The excuses is coming because there's a money attached to it. Take the money away from this.

This fatherhood. You take the money away from it and say, let's be parents. There wouldn't be no argument because I was a great parent when we was together. Now, all of a sudden, I'm now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. now all of a sudden I'm like yeah you're right

out of parenting because I can tell you for one thing if you give the man the kids he ain't going to be asking you for no money he's not going to be sitting there trying to put you on child support and do all this stuff

you don't even exist in this moment. You want to see your children? Okay. Other than that, we can get a nanny. We can get a maid. Our mother's going to do that. When you have the children, you're taking us to court for responsibilities because obviously you can't do it on your own. And that used to be my argument.

Well, she can't take care of the kids and she needs my money. Won't you give the kids to me? I don't need her money. It's easy like that. The person who can take care of the kids without the other person should be primary. Right.

They normally give that they normally give that to the woman you're taking my money to make her primary don't take my money to make her primary if you can't take care of the kids by yourself then give it to the

parent who can and then you go from there that's yeah And give it to the parent who can. And then you go from there. That's. Yeah. But once it becomes a pocketbook. Yeah. Well, we're going to lose that.

It's a fight. There's always a fight over money. The fight is not about the responsibility of the kid. It's the fight about the money of it. If you take money out of it, you took child support out of kids. It's the fight about the money of it. If you take money out of it, you took child support out of it, oh, trust me, there's going to be some deadbeats out there.

Right? For sure. Out there, for sure. But for the most part, you will get it right when you take out the money. Yeah. I mean, everybody knows me. I got a big heart.

I ain't got no problem with the money because I can go make some more of that. Just show, just show me where the kid needs this. And we got it. Don't show me. Hey, bring them over here. No, no, no. You know what I'm saying? Hey, cause I, I'm, I'm look, I can get up. Look, I have a T I have a teammate of mine that, that he and his, I think, girlfriend or something broke up and he got the kids. And, you know, he got a nanny.

He go to work. He come football practice and he did everything that he needed to do. And, you know, he go pick it up, pick the child up. Hey, I get it. I ain't got no problem. Like I said, I ain't never had a problem with responsibility. And I'll pay whatever I need to pay. First of all, whatever the judge say'm gonna pay anyway i ain't finna you know keep going back and forth but you know sometimes you know it was just like i said we were both we were young and you know everybody wanted to be right and you know it was and so i was just like

man you know what and and i said because at the end of the deal, you know what? I said, at the end of the day, two people lose... I said, at the end of the day, this was way back. I said, the only person that's leaving this courtroom a millionaire is me. I'm the only one. Why we keep going, giving this guy all this money?

I could be putting this away for the kids what you need what's going to make you happy what's going to make you happy let's get out of here I'm done because people don't I mean I don't know if anybody out there know but when you go to court as the man me in our situation

we got to pay for her attorney too. So he don't, he want to keep, he or she wants to keep it going. Those billable hours are going to somebody they know can pay. And that's the problem with the fight, right? When you have zero,

it don't matter what you're fighting for because you're going to get something. It's no different than divorce, right? Right. If a man has $100 million and you're getting 50%, you don't realize if you take the lump sum after the 50, you only get $25. You don't care about the $25 because because you got 25 more than you had anyway. Long as you get what you didn't have. I got 25 million more than I had before. I don't give a shit if the government took 25.

I don't give a, what, if you give me two, it was two more than he was going to give me, give it to me. They don't care about. How much you spending as long as they get some of it. That's all that matters. I was just young. I'm glad I'm glad we were all able to come together and have a great relationship.

I had to soften because I just felt like i don't like to be taken advantage of i don't and i because i'm gonna give you but i don't i don't want you i don't i don't like feeling take advantage of taking advantage of difference used okay but don't take advantage of me. Man. Because I'm going to give you because I want my child to have. And you have the child, so I don't want my child living in squalid conditions. So I'm going to make sure, oh, come on now, let's be reasonable. Mm-hmm. It's that lifestyle. They want the lifestyle they had. So you can't.

Hell I barely can remember my own. Yeah. I don't know hell i don't remember no birthdays hell i barely can remember my own yeah i don't know i don't know my brother my brother my sisters my kids that's that's about that's about all my mom that's about all i got and granny because it always falls around it's uh may the 12th i can always i always remember that one but man man. But, hey, we raised, I got three great kids.

My daughter graduated med school. My son, I'm a grandpa. And my oldest, man. I ain't think we gonna be here though, Gil. I ain't think we gonna be here the way we started out. It didn't start out good, but we ended on a good note. We ended on a good note. It didn't start out good.

It didn't start out good. It didn't start out good, but we ended on a good note. We ended on a good note. It didn't start out good. It didn't start out good. It didn't start out good, but we ended on a good note. We ended on a good note. At the end of the day, that's what it comes down to. So we great now. We have a relationship. We can pick up the phone and call. And I think that's what it should

be. And, you know, for the kids, especially as the kids start to get older and they could comprehend. Like, what are we arguing about? I mean, and for me, it just got to the point, you know, look, if this is going to make you happy and going to keep, you know, keep you from I'm having to pay. Because sometimes you pay 10 to keep them paying 20. I'm having to pay because sometimes you, Hey,

you pay 10 to keep them paying 20. Yeah. Even though you, even though, you know, bro, take it, take it.

And so now, you know, the kids like, Hey, but I think the thing is they did a great job. I'll be, I'll be, I'll be pissed at my kid. If my kids didn't turn out as well as they did, all the money I had to fork over, but they did a great job. I'll be, I'll be, I'll be pissed at my kid. If my kids didn't turn out as well as they did all the money I had to

fork over, but they did a great job. They did a great job. And I think the thing is that they explained to the kids that look, the lifestyle that you do enjoy is because your daddy is, is, is so focused in doing what he does. And as they got older,

they really understood. They really understand now because they're adults. And they gotta work and they gotta pay a mortgage and they gotta pay a card note and they gotta do all that thing. They're like, well, damn, daddy. You did all of that. And

you took care of Aunt Libby and you took care of Granny and you took care of Grandma Mary Dixon. Wow, Daddy. Yeah, your daddy did all that. And now, you know, especially when they, you know, because my oldest came out here when I had my second surgery. She told my sister, I want to take care of that.

So, and she see like, damn. Like, had to help me, you know, had to help me, you know, bathe me and get me up and do things like that and made sure I was walking and, you know, she was like, ooh, daddy. Now, she's like, now she had to have an appreciation because

they see how their daddy get around. Because they saw I was so active, Gil, and, you know, I'm still active for the average 56-year-old. But considering what I was and to what I am now and how I get around and, you know, I don't move like I was,

you know, I don't move like I was then. They have a greater appreciation, the toll that what I did took on my body so I could provide to make sure they have. And I tell people now, they're like, well, Shannon, I mean, you got, what are you working for? I say, I'm trying to make sure they have. And I tell people now, they're like, well, Shannon, I mean, you got, what are you working for?

I say, I'm trying to secure four generations. I'm trying to secure four generations. I want to give four generations a head start. Now, I don't know about the fifth generation.

They ain't going to be standing at home. They ain't going to stand at home, but they're going to be between third and home. Hey, anything, a pop fly, anything, you should make it home. Standing up. You ain't even got to
