of the chat we're taking pre-orders only and thank you kindly for your patience ocho let's get right into it yeah nuggets buzzer beater by jamal Murray. The Lakers had him right where they want him. Anthony Davis started the game 14 of 15 from the field. D'Angelo Russell tied a Lakers franchise record with seven made threes. LeBron James, 12 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, along with 12 assists and eight rebounds, was not enough because Jamal Murray, big shot, big shot Jamal. In the first seven quarters in this series, he's shooting 12 of 40 from the field.

He went six of eight to hit the game, went in the fourth quarter, and he was sensational. But the Lakers have no one to blame but themselves for being in this situation because they keep turning the ball over. And I thought LeBron James in the third quarter let this game get away from the Lakers because they went to the switch because Jokic had no answer for AD. They put Gordon on AD.

They put Jokic on Rui. Now LeBron has KCP. He's horse-dallying around with the ball at the top of the key. He's looking to pass the ball. Do what you did in the fourth quarter. Do that in the third quarter when you got KCP. There is no way KCP should be able to keep you on the outside. You got to take advantage of those situations, especially in the third quarter.

What's the quote you always say about having a lead at a certain time? How much lead you get. Separation. How much separation you get at a time like that in the third quarter, then you never come down to a last-minute shot for Jamal Murray to be able to hit a shot like that

in the fourth quarter because you've extended the lead in the third and you don't have to worry about it. Yeah, yeah. And I thought that shot at the end. I don't understand. There's a six-second differential

in the shot clock and the game clock. Okay, why would LeBron take a shot with 13 seconds on the clock? You still have seven seconds to play with. Right, right. You want to a shot with 13 seconds on the clock you still have seven seconds to play with right right you want to give them as little time on the clock as you possibly can right why would you shoot that shot i understand look i understand he's going for the dagger but

you have to understand you had lost momentum of this ball game a lot of things happened that was fluky uh you get a three-point lead. You almost get a turnover. Aaron Gordon saves the ball right to Michael Porter Jr. He hits the three. Like I said, you couldn't script a better game for the Lakers. Anthony Davis gives you 32-11.

Balling. D-Lo, I knew D-Lo. I said he'd hit at least five threes. He gives you seven. This is a game. LeBron's got to close it. He's got to bring it home. But, yeah, he played well in the fourth, but the third quarter is where you let

them make up the difference. You had a 22-point lead. Right. If you don't want to keep that 22-point lead, at least at the bare minimum, Ocho, you had a 15 point lead to start the fourth bare minimum ojo you had a 15 what do you have a 15 point lead to start the fourth you've got yeah yeah you had a 15 point no it was 15 was a 15 point lead to start the fourth quarter what was it what was the lead to start when did they have a that was the third the

third the third the third quarter is when they had that 50 had a lead and they ran at the 22 and that was the opportunity to push it. But I thought LeBron let KCP 20 point lead in the third. That's where I thought LeBron let KCP dictate to what he was going to do because he played on the outside entirely too much. Look at

what he did in the fourth quarter. Yeah, he hit those two threes, but he got downhill. That's what he needed to do on KCP in the third quarter. Yeah, he hit those two threes, but he got downhill. That's what he needed to do on KCP in the third quarter. Keep attacking. Make them foul you. Yeah, he blew a couple. Yeah, he blew a couple of layups,

but I don't care about that. I've got to keep attacking. I've got to keep the pressure on them. This was demoralizing. They're going to say all the right things after the game. They're going to say, hey, we blah, blah, blah.

But this one hurt. Yeah, this one hurt. This one's going to have lasting ramifications. You need to. They're going to say, hey, we blah, blah, blah. But this one hurt. Yeah. This one hurt. This one's going to have lasting ramifications. You need to, you got to steal. When you're playing away, obviously in the playoffs, you got to be able to steal a game away. You got to be able to steal a game away.

And if you're going to steal a game away from home, this would have been the game to do it. They really, listen, to me, the Lakers gave their best effort tonight. D'Lo played very, very well after a horrible shoot- performance in game one. AD, I don't know what the hell AD ate before this game, but man, he was a monster. Him and LeBron working the pick and roll, in the paint, shooting mid-range, driving, going to the hole, from the foul line. He was on fire tonight.

Obviously, the rest of the supporting cast has to come through. They have to come through and give you more because tonight we saw a great game from the Lakers. Basically, really all around from the three, I would call it their big three. From their big three, we saw a great game all around. And hell,

Jamal Murray wasn't shooting well until the fourth quarter. Until the fourth quarter. And then all of a sudden, when it mattered most, he hits the game when it's shot. If somebody would have told me, AD is going to have 32 and 11. LeBron James is going to have 26, 12, and 8.

And D-Lo will have 23 on seven made threes. I say there's no way they're losing this game. Exactly. And Jamal Murray is going to shoot 9 of 24 from the field? I say they're not losing this game. Right. But you look, the turnovers. The Lakers shot a high percentage. They shot 5% higher from the field.

Right. They shot 20% higher from the three-point line. But the Nuggets shot 10 more shots. Because you know why? The Lakers had 14 turnovers. The Nuggets had 9. So those, and it got washed on the glass again. Because you know why? The Lakers had 14 turnovers. The Nuggets had nine. So those – and they got washed on the glass again.

They got out-rebounded by seven. They got out-rebounded on the offensive glass by five. But this was a game – this was a game I thought they let get away in the third quarter because I think when Mike Malone made the switch because he put Aaron Gordon on AD. KCP on LeBron. Yeah. LeBron got it. LeBron need to go get 14, 16 points in the third quarter and make sure.

So now the Nuggets are going to be on the bench. They're down 35. Hey, we can't come back. We'll get them on Thursday. Yeah. That's tough. that's tough that's tough i mean it it has to be demoralizing obviously lebron lebron gonna say all the right things but i think that third quarter is when that killer mentality comes should come in yes

that killer that michael jordan that uh that that kobe bryant type mentality oh this will be doing it's somewhat of a sign of disrespect almost not Not in that right, but I'm just saying if you put KCP on me, I'm going to take you to the blender. I'm going to take you to the blender. There ain't no way in hell you think he's going to... Man, what? It is

what it is. I think it makes it that much more difficult for them now, obviously, come Thursday. They're playing at home, right? But how much better are you going to play? They plan at home, right? But how much better are you going to play? AD went 14-19. D-Lo was 50%

from the floor, 7-11 from three. LeBron was 9-19. He was 50% from the three. How much better are you going to play? I'm a firm believer you're killing that with a sledgehammer. You don't swap at it. You're killing that with a sledgehammer. You don't swap at it. You're killing that with a sledgehammer. Right, right, right.

This would have been the game to steal away from home. If you're going to get one, this was the one to have. Yes, yes, but the same thing. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. Like I said, I need somebody. I need LeBron. I wish I could hear what LeBron said when LeBron comes to the mic, let me know.

Because I need to know what he was thinking shooting the ball with 13 seconds on the clock. Why would you shoot the ball with that kind of time on the clock? That makes absolutely, even if you make the three, you still gave them 13 seconds. Right. Even if you make it. you still gave them 13 seconds even if you make it what do you think the Lakers need to do

to win game 3 should they continue to play through AD yeah they play through AD but how much better listen how much better do you think you can play AD was 14 of 19 D-Lo was 8 of 16 yeah Rui I think Rui must have

talked to Michael Porter Jr. brother because he took the under on his point total. I think his point total was like eight. He took the under. He cashed out. He had three points and the shots that he missed. I'm like, Rui, what the hell are you doing? Right, right, right. You're talking about what did A.D. ate? What did A.D. eat before the game? What the hell did Rui eat? Yeah. You know what? That momentum, that momentum as a player and that confidence, it might follow through in game three.

Maybe D'Angelo might come through and be just as efficient from the field as he was this game in game two. Same thing for AD. If you're coming off a performance like this, you're coming into game three probably with that same type of rhythm and flow to your game, and you pick up where you left off and hope you

can steal one at home, because if you go down, oh, goddamn three, well, shit, you might as well start packing for Cancun. Look at this. Anthony Davidson in game one, what's he go? 34, 32, 15, and 5.

Okay, tonight he goes 32 and 11. LeBron goes 26, 12, and 8. D-Lo gives you 23 on 7-11. LeBron had 26, had 28 the other night. Right. And double digit rebounds. So,

your big guns are going off. D'Lo goes. He joins him tonight. And you still lose. Lose. Yeah. So what, I mean. If my quarterback, Ocho, if Carson Palmer threw for 350, you are, the running back runs for 175.

The defense get three sacks and a pick six. And you still lose. Right. You're like, what we do? I mean, we can't play no better than what we played. Mm-hmm. Lakers can't play any better.

Lakers not playing any better than that because they turned the ball over. So you think the turnover is the only reason they lost? If you eliminate the turnover, if you minimize the turnovers, you think the Lakers win this game? What the hell? How many turnovers they had the other night on Saturday? Because they had 14 tonight. I think they might have been close to 20 the other night.

I mean, give the Nuggets credit. The Nuggets, this is what, listen. What makes the Nuggets so great is that when they get you in a situation, they're going to get every shot they want. If you look at what they did, they kept picking, keeping the pick and roll. Over and over. It's a two-man game.

It's Murray and Yoke. And they keep in the pick and roll. They keep in the dribble drive. They keep in the dribble handoff. Oh, you take away. Okay, Michael Porter Jr. is lurking to get up for three. Right.

But they're so great. And Yoke is just so good. His touch is so great around the rim. Murray's touch is so great, he's shooting floaters. He's laying it up. Yeah, I mean, they're difficult to beat. If you're not up by like 16, 20 with under four minutes to go, if it's a close ball game, you've got to execute on the other end

because you know they're going to execute on their end. Right. But I don't know how much better the Lakers can play got to execute on the other end because you know they're going to execute on their end right but i don't know i don't know how much better the lakers can play than what they played last night and they still found a way to lose the game yeah i mean listen obviously if you eliminate some of those turnovers some of those turnovers are turned into points i think they have a good chance the chances of the big three again playing as well being at their planet home i think they have a good chance. The chances of the big three again playing as well, being that they're playing at home, I think they have a good chance

to repeat tonight's efficiency and scoring from the field. So if they can do that at home, I mean, I think they have a good chance. But you got to minimize those turnovers because those turnovers turn into points. Oh, Joe. The Nuggets tracked them down in game one

from down 11-12. They tracked them down tonight by 20. down 11 12 they tracked them down tonight by 20 so in my mind I don't believe you can beat me in your mind you don't believe you can beat me me either yeah there's two mind the mind is a is a strong is a strong muscle right you know what has happened they know what has happened yeah They know what has happened. Yeah. So, I mean, Darvin Ham, what does he say? What does he say? What does he stand up there and say?

Good game. I mean, hard fought. We played hard. Mm-hmm. You had a big lead. You had a big lead. And I was concerned game one because I saw AD and LeBron going off and you're only up three. And it took a 30-foot three to put you up three. They had to cut that down.

Now tonight, you have a 20-point lead. AD's going haywire. D'Lo going haywire. And they run you down. You know, that's crazy. Nuggets have now beat the Lakers 10 consecutive times. Shit, dating back to damn their last season. So obviously, some teams you play, they always have

your number. So as a head coach, what do you do? Is this something that you can blame on Darwin Ham? Because Darwin Ham, he's not out there on the field. He's not out there on the court. Well, would Darwin Ham help you get that 20-point lead? People hear the thing. We got to stop.

Okay, we blame Darwin Ham when they lose, but you don't give him any credit when they win right it's the players on the court they didn't get it done it was too many turnovers the offense the uh the offensive rebounds and like i said they they were sloppy the lakers are one of the best clutch teams the them and the mavericks were the best clutch teams in basketball. Last five minutes of the game, the game within five. Yeah. And tonight,

they didn't get it done. And you needed this game because you played so well for 46 minutes. Right. 46 minutes you played well. The game is 48. You got to finish it off. You got to 48. You got to finish it off.

You got to finish. You got to finish. We had another barn burner tonight. Hey, the fact that we had two games have spectacular endings, and I'm on the edge of my seat like a goddamn little kid. Yeah. Darmanham said

it stings. Remember this feeling as we go back to L.A.? We need to give them this feeling in game three. No, you can't. I mean, bro. You got to do something. You got to do something. And the only thing I can think of is minimize those turnovers, turn some of those turnovers into points. And I think you said. Can D'Lo have another shooting game like this?

Sure. Can LeBron, can AD score another 30 and give you a 30 double-double? Absolutely. Can LeBron? Sure. But look at Yoke, 27, 20, and 10. But there's no answer for him, though. No.

But see, that's what you do. But here's the thing. There's no answer for him. No, no, but see, that's what you don't answer the thing. Oh, Joe, every, if you look at, look at your 27, 20 and 10,

Murray had 20, uh, Michael Porter Jr. Had 22. But if you look at the score, they cancel each other out. So they, cause they got 49.

They got 81 between their big three. They got 47, 69. And then we throw in Gordon's 14. That's 83. 49. They got 81 between their big three. They got 47, 69, and then we throw in Gordon's 14. That's 83. So, you're straight. You're straight. I mean,

that's all you hope for. You say, okay, now we need AD and LeBron to cancel out Yoke and Murray. We need D-Lo to cancel out one of their other big guns. Okay, D-Lo canceled out Michael Porter Jr. Porter Jr. Aaron Gordon gave you 14.

He outscored Rui and Austin Reeves by himself. He had 14. They had 12. Combined or a piece? Together. Shit. combine or a piece to get together shit so and you lose by two but hey give the Nuggets credit I don't want to

heart too much on it but I think the Nuggets deserve a lot of credit but they're champions they've been here done that they know what it's like yes yes so with that being said done that. They know what it's like. Yes. Yes. Yes. So with that being said, the Lakers head home down 0-2.

Looking to regroup. You get a couple days rest in your own bed. You go back, watch the film. Look at what you did good. Look at what you did bad. And try to regroup, but it's going to be tough. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church

and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Knicks beat the Sixers. 104 to 101. The Knicks in the last 30 seconds, they were down five.

Jalen Brunson hits a three. Hart, Josh Hart steals. Devin Chimso, three. That Nova connection. All three of these guys went to Villanova. All three of these guys won a national championship. And they pull it out. You could easily make a case that this game

the Sixers probably could have been up 2-0 but they find themselves down 2-0 2-0 2-0-2 and they should have been up 2-0 and look tonight Tyrese Maxey 35 points Joel Embiid, 34 points.

But the rest of the Sixers starters, they didn't do too well, Ocho. They had 32 points. So basically, Maxey outscored the rest of the starters by himself and so did Joel Embiid. Yeah, I mean, it's out there two against five. Basically, it's damn near two against five. Maxey came out, he had an illness,

he missed shoot around, still came out. He had an illness. He missed shoot around. Still came out. He had the first nine points of the game. 20 points in the first half, which is a career high for him. Hell, for the night, he shot, what, 12 or 22 from the field? Yep. And obviously ended with 35, 8, and 10. I mean, Embiid,

what more can you ask from him? I mean, what percentage do you think Embiid playing at? What, 70, 70, 75? What, I mean, what percentage do you think and be playing at what? 70, 70, 75, 50, 60,

50, 60. He got no lift. Right. Yeah. He got no lift. I mean, they did a better job of, of keeping them off the glass.

I mean, right. Um, they only, they, they remember they lost the rebounding battle by 22 in the first game. They only lost it by two. Um,

they only lost the offensive rebounding by two. So they did a better job. Outshot them from the field. Outshot them from the three-point line. The Knicks outshot them from the field. I mean, from the free throw line. Turnovers weren't that bad. I mean, the Sixers had had 10 the knicks had seven but

see a lot of times he's like well the rebounding you know they they did a better job rebounding but when did those offensive rebounds occur the last two possessions when they got three four cracks at you yeah kyle lowry i don't you too look you're a vet you gotta call timeout in that situation just call timeout he panics, try to get it in quick he doesn't get it in quick he throws him into the trap they trap him, they get the ball

ball swings around, DiVincenzo boom the roof comes off the garden and now you're like 30 seconds away from going home, being 1-1,

and you walk out the building, you're down 0-2. I just don't know. I mean, the fact that you talk about what the coach is supposed to, is responsible for that timeout during that situation, right?

He's saying, Nick Nurse said he called timeout. Second time. It's the second time there's been a coaching blunder with Mr. Nurse. Is it Mr. Nurse? Mm-hmm. Nick Nurse, yeah.

Yeah, it's the second time there's been a questionable game in this strategy that he didn't really fulfill that might have cost him the game, which is why they're down 0-2 now. Kyle Lowry is a 50-2 now. Kyle Lowry is a 50... How long has Kyle Lowry been in the league? 15 years? 16 years? 17

years? He has the ball in his hand. They have a timeout. You can run the line. Call timeout. He's supposed to be an extension of the coach. That's what everybody tells you with Kyle Lowry. to be an extension of the coach that's what Cal everybody tells you what Cal Lowry he's an extension

of the coach he's a leader so his first three years so 19 so 18 he's been in the league 18 years yeah you got to be careful though you got to be careful in that situation calling the time out not knowing

you're supposed to know yeah Yeah, you got to be careful, though. You got to be careful in that situation, calling a timeout, not knowing. You're supposed to know. Yeah. He's supposed. Ocho, no. You're supposed to know that. It's just like you. You're supposed to know.

We ain't got no timeouts. I need to get out of bounds. Right. Yeah. Oh, we got a timeout. Everything's in play. The middle of the field. Okay. We're trying to save our timeout.

At all costs, get out of bounds. We don't need that extra yard to get trapped inbound. We have to burn a timeout. Take less yards. Get out of bounds. Kyle Lowry has to know in that situation, we have a timeout, and we use the timeout and we get an opportunity to advance the ball.

Right. He's got to know that. That's tough. That's tough. Jalen Brunson in game one was 8 of 26. In game two, he was 8 of 29. OG Ananobi, 10 points. Hardenstein had 14 points, but four offensive rebounds.

A huge block, a very huge block. Brunson had 24 points, but on 29 shots. Josh Hart, another monster night. 21 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks. Devin Chinzo, 19 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds. And no shot bigger than, that might be one of the

biggest shots in Nick's history is the shot that he hit. Yeah. That's a good one. Jalen, matter of fact, you know what's funny? Is great shot by Jalen Brunson towards the end of the game, but he's shooting 12-55 from the

field. But he gets to the line 12 from the line. He's 12-15 from the free throw line through these two games. He's great on defense, and I think that's why people are ignoring the poor shooting so far in the first two games.

No, they're ignoring the poor shooting because they're winning. Ah. Winning cures all. So if they were losing, it would be an issue. He'd be getting crushed. Right. He'd be getting crushed.

But that's how it goes. You understand that. We know that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When you're losing, it magnifies everything. When you win, there's a lot of shit you can sweep under the rug. Absolutely. It's a lot of stuff. So the two home teams probably should have lost,

but it just shows you their grit because they find ways to win. The Nuggets found a way to win. The Knicks found a way to win, and they go on the road. Now that I think about it, I'm thinking before Brunson came to the Knicks, he was with Dallas. I don't know. You would know better than I do. Would Mark Cuban

feel some type of way in knowing he could have had Brunson, Kyrie, and Luka, and things would have been a little easier over there, or no? No, you'd be able to get Kyrie because you didn't sign Brunson. You could have signed Brunson to an extension. I think you could have gave him three years for 55. Right. They waited until after the season. He played so well in Luka's absence.

Now he's not going to take a deal. So now he knows if he hits the market, he's going to get a mega deal. Okay, okay. So he wouldn't have been there regardless. No matter what. No. No. Somebody was going to pay him more than what Dallas. Now when Dallas realized, he's like, nah, I'm good. Because when you

had a chance to sign me. Right. You didn't want to. For three for 55. Right. You didn't. He goes to the Knicks and I think he got five for 100. So, and he needed the ball. He needed his own team. That's Lucas' team. I see what you mean. That's Lucas' team. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. As the point guard, actually, that's your team as a point guard because the ball is on your hand majority of the time, always. You are the facilitator. You are the leader. That's Luka's team. The Mavericks is Luka Doncic's team. I don't care who else you bring on that team.

It's his team. What position do you think Luka play? PG, he's the point guard. And he just led the league in scoring. That's his team. Brunson needed his own team. He couldn't be what he is now there. You have to understand that. B.I. couldn't be what Brandon Ingram is with the Pelicans.

He couldn't be that in L.A. LeBron and A.D. He needs the ball. Sometimes it's okay to let a guy go and flourish elsewhere. Yeah, you're just like, man, what we could. But you're not going to be that with LeBron and A.D. Well, help me explain. Explain something to me real quick.

I know we're off track. We were talking about the Knicks and the 76ers. Well, how the hell does Luka and goddamn Kyrie work? When I think Kyrie, when I picture Kyrie, I'm thinking of someone that always needs the ball in their hands, though. Kyrie is tremendous at playing off the ball. Brunson needs the ball. But still, although Kyrie is unbelievable,

because guess what? Kyrie played with LeBron, so he understands how to play off the ball. Okay, okay. I got you. I got you. I got you. But no, he's had unbelievable season. He's going to be an all NBA player. Please make sure you hit that like button. Please make sure you hit the subscribe button and please make sure you guys go

Going home, down 0-2. Now it's time for our first segment of the night. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before we do the segment, before we do the segment. Oh, it's time for our first segment of the night before we do the segment it's too late it's too late I want you to see my sweater and I know you're going to want one

and I ain't giving you one and I ain't going to tell you where I got it from and I bet you can't name everybody on here oh HBCU I see number two that's all I need to see down there in the bottom right I see number two I'm good I see Walter Payton

I think Jerry Rice Steve McNair yeah McNair I don't know who 13 is. Charlie Joyner? Sound Like Totten. I mean, I think number 22 was Sound Like Totten.

I think he was a... Yeah, yeah. You don't know nobody. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to get one. I will send you one, but I ain't going to send it. They sent this for you, but I kept it. That dirty.

Huh? Who did? Chad? No. The Athletic released an annual anonymous players poll. The Athletic interviewed 142 players. The league's most overrated player

receiving almost 14% of the votes was Rudy Gobert. In second place, receiving almost 9% of the votes, Jordan Poole. And receiving almost well, he's received 7% of the votes,

Trey Young. Hey, man, do you really think Rudy Gobert is overrated? Or is he good at what he does and what he's supposed to do? Or are people still upset about him crying about not winning, not winning, making an all-star team? If you're a wide receiver. Yeah.

And you're supposed to be one of the top wide receivers. Yeah, that's me. But in two-minute drill, they took you out. I think, well, for him, they take him out because he's a liability on offense right okay well he overrated you see there you go see he's supposed to be a defensive guy yeah how do you how do you take him out if he overrate if he liability ah he's a liability because he can't score offensively I think that was the only reason he comes out the game right I'm trying to figure out how the guy that makes max money it becomes a liability when that's his thing he's supposed to be on well guess

what that's only one in the court. Don't you want to keep him in there for defensive purposes? You're right. I mean, listen, I don't know. And that Jordan Poole, now the Jordan Poole discussion, he was

great, if I'm not mistaken. You can correct me if I'm wrong. From what I've seen in the times I've watched him play, especially with the Warriors, oh,'m not mistaken. Now, you can correct me if I'm wrong. From what I've seen in the times I've watched him play, especially when he was with the Warriors, oh, he was magnificent. He was magnificent. Right. And then he went to Washington.

I'm thinking, okay, he going to pick up where he left off and he going to show the people and show the world on why he is worth the money that he got paid and why he can carry a team himself.

Right. And I don't think things turned out the way he felt they would. Or obviously me from the outside looking in, things haven't gone well for him. No. I can kind of see why he would get 8% of, I mean, obviously one of the most overrated players because they hadn't played well. The Trae Young, the Trae Young slander, I have no idea.

Yeah. Dude, average 26 and 11. I mean, the guy averaged double-digit assists. He gives you 20 points. Yeah. I just don't know. I just don't know what else they want for him to do. Hey, I have a question. Do you really think they asked that many players

and players... Well, there are 400 NBA players in the league, so 450. Were there 15 players on the team? Let's just say 400. Right. You really think they interviewed all them dudes and them dudes really said what they said? I mean, they only interviewed a third.

It's just like the NFL. Okay, we got 1,500 players. They interviewed 500. Right. I'm always skeptical about these stuff where they say, oh, we interview players and it comes from a source. And I played for a very long time. Nobody ever asked me anything about anybody.

Never. I never heard any conversation amongst the other 52 players in the locker room. But man, you know what? They asked me about so-and-so and there was the survey that I did. So I was always a little skeptical about these interviews.

You do understand what the term anonymous means, right? If you tell somebody it's no longer anonymous. That's what they try to get you with. They try to get you with anonymous. Or they always try to say a source. Instead of, it's really coming from somewhere else. It's coming from inside the house. That's why they always say a source.

Yes, but it has to be anonymous To keep confusion down Nah, I don't know You know what? People need to stand on business We're in 2024 If you have something to say about somebody Say it to their face Or let them know

Or make it public Let it be known Why hide behind the media? Don't hide behind the media You don't like somebody? Shit, let them know Hey man, listen So and so I really don't like you I don't like somebody? Shit, let them know. Hey, man, listen, so-and-so,

I really don't like you. I don't like your game. Look at your face. Your face is punchable. If you don't, I mean, just say it. Just say it. I hate when they do that, run behind the media

and they confide in this media, a certain individual, a certain person, and give them a storyline and say, well, make sure you make it anonymous. If you don't like somebody, just come out and tell them, man. Just come out and tell them. Well, I don't think, I think in this situation that, you know, they want it,. If you don't like somebody, just come out and tell them, man. Just come out and tell them.

Well, I don't think, I think in this situation that, you know, they want it, they don't want, because look, if somebody on your team, you're going to feel some type of way if your teammates,

the guys you go to battle with, saying somebody else better than Ocho. You're going to feel some type of way. You know what's funny? Anytime these people that are always anonymous and the source, you know what happens

if they say somebody's overrated, normally the person that they call an overrated, you're better than the person doing the talking that doesn't want to be disclosed normally isn't better than the person they feel is overrated most of the time it's hard for me to believe that they're only

asking like C-level players I'm sure, look when you have an anonymity or people don't think you're going to find out, it's just like when you're in your house and you're in rail and everybody else and they don't think anybody,

what happens? When your girlfriend or boyfriend get mad, yeah, that's why you did such and such. And that's why you say blah, blah, blah. It is what it is. That's how it is. Once you have the enclosure of your own home, people will speak freely.

And especially, especially, if I don't think nobody's going to find out. Find out. So if I keep it anonymous, yeah, man, that joke will suck. That's the idea. Who in the league would you least like to fight? James Johnson

was the overwhelming winner he's a I think he's a fourth or fifth degree black belt his entire family is a black belt

Steven Adams with 17% Isaiah Stewart with 6% hey James Johnson played for the Heat yes right

yeah he a black belt many times over I beat I beat his ass man I ain't trying to hit I ain't caring about no goddamn black belt that black belt? Many times over. I beat his ass, man. I ain't trying to hit him. I ain't caring about no goddamn black belt. That black belt don't mean nothing in the streets. Now, you got a black...

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. That's your boy, man. Hey, he that type of dude that he don't... He look, you know, he don't look, you know. But you look at him. He got taps all on his neck. Yeah, all around his neck. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, I got 43 tattoos, too. What that mean? Man, you have 43 ass-cuttings, too. Hey, James, I know you're going to say, I love you, baby. I'm just playing. I don't want no smoke.

JJ, I like that. I don't want no smoke. Who's the greatest player of all time? With a whopping 46% of the vote, Michael Jordan was first. Yeah. With 42% of the vote. Michael Jordan was first. Yeah, with 42% of the vote. LeBron James was second. Third, with 10% of the vote.

Kobe Kobe being Brian. Yeah. In fourth place was Paul Pierce, Steph Curry and Magic Johnson. And he helped Paul Pierce. They slid Paul in there, huh? They slid Paul in there, huh? They slid Paul in there. They got that man

over Will Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Langford, Elijah Wan, Shaq. Hey, man, listen. Somebody knows somebody. Somebody knows somebody.

Paul done paid somebody to slide him up in there real quick. Paul Pierce... Listen, Paul Pierce had to name the truth for a reason, though listen, Paul Pierce had to name the truth for a reason, though. Right. He had to name the truth for a reason, but

at number four, greatest player of all time, there are so many others that are worthy. No disrespect to him, though. But here's the thing. Jordan has experienced some serious slippage for the third consecutive poll. Jordan in 2019 has 73 percent

right lebron had 11.9 nearly doubling yeah oh he was tripling and it was uh and what in 2023 it was 58 to 33 yeah not a gap is only less than four percent yeah but you have to understand jordan hadn't played basketball in how long? I mean, his aura, the mystique, the legendary, the king. Excuse me. LeBron is the king, but who he is, his reign supreme for so many years, long after he's done playing. Guess what? Obviously, the gap is going to continue to increase because LeBron is still active. LeBron is still active, and most of the people doing the voting, some of them that love and enjoy the game of basketball

might not even seen Jordan play. Some of the young kids, some of the young folk. So they don't understand his greatness because they wasn't here to see it. It doesn't matter. I mean, they know Jordan. I mean, he's one of the most recognizable people on the face of the planet.

Easily, easily. Those shoes. But, I mean, it's what players like the last 14 months, he broke Kareem's all-time scoring record. He led the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals. He won the inaugural in-season tournament, named to his 20th straight All-Star Game as a starter. One of three players to average 25, 8 assists and 7 rebounds this season.

Luka and Yoke. Yoke. No other player in the history of the game has done it after year 10. Right. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Which current coach, aside from your own, would you least want to play for? Tom Thibodeau with 47% of the vote. Doc Rivers with 9% of the vote. Monte Williams with 7% of the vote. Darvin Hamm. Man, how they put all the brothers on there. God dang, Ocho. Tom Thibodeau?

Tom Thibodeau a brother? But they got Doc, Monte, and Darvin. Three of the four brothers. 75% of the brothers. Listen, I like Tom Thibodeau. I don't know why he reminds me of somebody that was supposed to be on The Sopranos or something. Like he's part of The Godfather. I don't know.

When you listen to him talk, he sounds like he's part of the Italian Mafia or something like that. Obviously, Monty Williams, Darvin Hamm, and Doc Rivers. I thought Doc was a good coach. Obviously, again, I'm on the outside looking in. For some reason, Doc always has a damn job somewhere. He does. From the 76ers to the Bucs. Where was he at before that?

Oh, he was with the Clippers. He was with the Clippers. No, no, let me take that back. He was with the 76ers. And then he was with the Clippers. Clippers, right. He was with the Celtics. He was with the Magic.

For some reason, he continues to keep getting a job. He can get a job for some godforsaken reason. Either the players are going to bat for him and want him as a coach or he's just good with the personnel or the NBA coaches for that matter.

So I'm not sure why he's on the list. Yeah. You're building a roster from scratch. Who are you going with to sign first? With 28% of the votes, Victor Wiminyama was first. Nikola Jokic, Joke, with 27% of the vote, was second.

And man, Anthony Edwards with 10% of the vote, was third. I never told you that story. You probably ain't going to believe me. I know. I'm being serious that story. And you probably ain't going to believe me. I'm not. I know. I'm being serious.

But when Ant was at Georgia, when Ant was at Georgia, I went down to visit Cam. And Cam Newton was telling me about Anthony Edwards, this young fellow that plays basketball at Georgia. Whatever, I'm going to go down to watch him practice. And we went down to watch Anthony Edwards practice. And you know how I am when it comes to competing. You know, I feel like I can do any and everything. So I'm like, man, boy, you're nice. You know, I introduced myself.

Hey, I'm Ocho. And boy, you got game. You're going to be special. And I asked to play on one-on-one. And we played one-on-one. We went to 21. We went to 21. And that was pretty much it.

And from that point on, I understood what people are seeing now today. The Anthony Edwards in the NBA, I witnessed that while he was in college. Obviously, people that enjoyed the game of college basketball, they saw him tall and paid, but I didn't have no idea

who he was and I didn't know he was that special until I was able to see him and beat him one-on-one while he was at Georgia. But yeah, I just wanted to share that.

I appreciate that. The New York Jets, the New York Jets Trade former number two overall pick Zach Wilson Baby To the Denver Broncos Let's ride

The Jets will receive A 2024 sixth round pick And the Broncos will receive A seventh round pick In addition to Wilson The Jets and the Broncos will split the $5.5 million Wilson is owed in 2024. Yeah. And you know what?

Put some respect on Zach Wilson's name this season. I'm warning you. I'm warning. Listen, I'm warning you now. He's playing for your team. He's playing for your team. You had all that stuff to say about Zach Wilson when he was in New York. You had all that stuff to say. And one thing about quarterbacks, one thing about just people in general, sometimes the change of scenery is all

you need. Ladies that are in the chat, think about that toxic relationship you're in. And all of a sudden you got out that toxic relationship. You cut your hair, you change your hair color, and you found a new man. And all of a sudden, oh my goodness, life is great again. Zach Wilson is going to show you, and he's going to start.

He's going to start for the Denver Broncos in 2024 with Sean Payton at the helm and Sean Payton being the quarterback whisperer that he is. We're going to see a resurgence.

I've been in Drew Brees. Who did he whisper? Let me finish. Zach Wilson is going to be Drew Brees 2.0 under Sean Payton. Remember I told you this first. Denver fans, you got your good one on your hands.

Zach Wilson is going to show you why he was the number two pick or number one? Number two. He's going to show you why he was the number two pick in the draft. I'm telling you right now. I'm telling you right now. Zach Wilson, bitch. Help me understand this.

Sean Payton, other than Drew Reeves, who has he whispered? Who has he whispered? Yeah. If they had been a little bit more patient see this is in the Bible if you'd been a little bit more patient with the relationship between Russell Wilson and Sean Payton and allowed them a little bit more time

to jail to work their chemistry together he would have been the quarterback whisperer for Russell Wilson as well. But why didn't he do it when Drew Brees retired? Why didn't he do it

when Drew Brees left? I mean, they won a Super Bowl together, didn't they? Yeah. That's a good whisper. That's a very good whisper. Hold on. Did you hear what I said?

It's a faulty connection. Right. Outside of Drew Brees, who did he whisper? Well, there haven't been many other opportunities from the whispering in anybody else's ear

because he left coaching, came back to Denver one year, and then boom. They just parted ways. It's not an accident that he left when Drew Brees left. It's not an accident. Oh, because he understands

the difficulties in finding another quarterback. Oh, but he whispered. No, you you can't do that you said he's the quarterback whisper wait a minute come on now don't do me like that you understand how difficult it is to find an adequate quarterback to build around to continue to keep

a franchise going it ain't Drew Brees just walking through the goddamn door like that hold on. You think Zach Wilson is it? Yeah. What you talking about? Man, stop talking about Zach like that.

If he was it, Aaron Rodgers wouldn't be with the Jets. No. No. Let's not do that. When is the last time the Jets had a great outstanding quarterback? They jaffed him to be there. Let me finish. The Jets have failed

their quarterbacks for many and many and many years living off of great defenses when Rex Ryan was there. And that's no disrespect to any of the quarterbacks that have been through there

because I understand that you're only as good as your supporting cast and those they put around you. It's not their fault. It's not the players that have come through there. Every year,

we always say the same thing. The Jets don't have a quarterback. They don't have a quarterback. They don't have a quarterback. They continue to get quarterback after quarterback after quarterback after quarterback after quarterback. At what point are we going to fault the goddamn organization? At what point? True.

At what point? And stop blaming the goddamn quarterbacks. Because the organization keep picking the wrong player. That's what it is. Two things can be be true they pick the wrong player and the quarterback is some garbage okay no that's not it you know look everybody knows you can't convince no one except Zach Wilson family and yourself that Zach Wilson is a good quarterback. He is a good quarterback. He just went into an unfortunate situation and had unfortunate circumstances that he had to deal with.

And on the fact of going to the goddamn New York media that doesn't appreciate any goddamn thing, and they can kill you. Can you imagine going from BYU and then having to do with the New York media when things aren't going well? Oh, my goodness. If you're not built mentally tough

and being... That lets you know he can't play quarterback there. He can't play quarterback because what does quarterbacks need to be? No, regardless of the market. Mentally tough, mentally tough. Okay then.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Thank you very much. That New York media is a whole different ballgame. It's a whole different ballgame than any other city. How did it do Eli? Huh?

How did it... Huh? How did it do Eli Manning? What do you mean how did it do Eli Manning? Did you see the team? Did you see the teams that Eli Manning was surrounded by? Did you see the offense, the players? Did you see the defense that Eli? Don't do that. Are we really comparing the apples and oranges here?

And what Eli Manning had to work with as a quarterback in New York? And a Giants organization that understood what it took to win and billing the pieces and putting the pieces around the quarterback so he can be efficient?

Are we comparing the Giants organization to the Jets? Let's not do that. I'm not comparing the quarterbacks either. I'm just saying from a mental standpoint you're saying it's about mental toughness

okay yeah yeah yeah I got you I got you I got you it makes it even worse that it makes it even worse that the New York media can attack the Jets organizations or the people in places in positions of power and it doesn't affect them at all and it just trinkles down

okay you know what? We're going to attack the quarterback. We're going to attack the quarterback and we're going to blame everything on him when most of it is out of his control. Let me ask you a question. When things go right, who get all the credit?

Name the time that when things go right, the wide receiver get the credit or the running back gets the credit or the O-line gets the credit. Who gets the credit? Ain't nobody bitching me Cole Hardman's game-winning catch. What are they talking about, Ocho?

Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They talking about Brady. Yeah. Somebody had to make that catch. Somebody had to make them blocks.

Okay. So, I just have a question for you. Do you think the fit is good? The change of scenery for Zach Wilson is good With Sean Payton? How do you feel about that? I don't What do you mean you don't, man? I don't

Okay You got Jarrett Sidham You got Ben DiNucci And you have Zach Wilson I like Zach, I think Zach Wilson Is going to beat Jarrett Sidham out for the starting job. I know that's going to happen. I'm telling you now.

I'm telling you before it even happens because I know. I know Zach Wilson. I know what he can do. There's no offense to Jared Stidham and what he's done so far in the NFL. So you don't think it's a good pick. I know it's a good pick. Man, look here, man. I don't think Zach Wilson.

I don't think Stidham. I don't think Ben DiNucci, I don't think any of them's good. What? Okay, well, Zach Wilson's going to show you. What do you think the Broncos do with 12, with the 12th pick? I have. I mean, listen, they've answered

The quarterback position I say they go With another wide receiver What do you mean Answer the quarterback position They got Zach Wilson now Man please Listen

This is a very very deep Very deep wide receiver class Jerry Judy's gone Jerry Judy's now in Cleveland What do you think about them answering What do you think No I see Me I don't like Taking skill position answering. What do you think? No?

I don't like taking skill position when the quarterback situation is unfluxed. It is an unflux. I just told you. Zach, what are you talking about? I just said that. Zach Wilson, Sean Payton. You don't understand the magic that

is about to happen in Denver. I'm waiting on Sean Payton to do something understand the magic That is about to happen in Denver I'm waiting on Sean Payton to do something Just like y'all waited on Coach Belichick To do something without Tom Brady I'm waiting on Sean Payton to do something without Drew Brees You know what you finna see it You finna see it this year I guarantee you that Matter of fact I'm a Broncos fan now

I'm a Broncos fan I'm a fan of all players I'm a fan of all teams But I mean I'm a fan Like I'm a Bengal fan you know I'm a Bengal I got I'm a fan of all players I'm a fan of all teams But I mean I'm a fan Like I'm a Bengal fan You know I'm a Bengal I got Bengal tattooed on my back I'm from Miami You know I'm a Dolphins fan

And the third team now I'm a Broncos fan Come hell or high water Broncos country Let's ride Zach Wilson Let's go Zach I know you're going to see this

I love you baby We're going to get it done Maybe they can take Maybe they can get Penix Jr. Or Bo Nix Penix Jr. is not going to be there at 12 Penix Jr. is not going to be there at 12 I can tell you that right now

He might be Shit No sir He might be No sir Oh I'm feeling good tonight What we got next? Let's go, Zach.

LeBron goes off on the refs. I don't understand what's going on with the replay, to be honest. D-Lo clearly gives hits in the face with the drive. What the F do we have to have a replay center if it's going to be like that? It doesn't make sense. It makes no sense to me. It bothers me. And then I just saw what happened in the sixth game.

Like, what are we doing? It's effing stupid. Anthony Davis has stretches where we don't know what we're doing on both ends of the floor. Nah. Listen, officiating has been an issue, not in just the Lakers-Nuggets game, but also officiating has been an issue

in the 76ers game as well where, if I'm not mistaken, I saw that they were going to complain. They were going to complain and file a grievance. Like, does that work? Does that even work? They're not going to play the game over. They're not going to give you a victory. So you just wasted your time.

They're going to deny the protest. Right. And the Sixers are going to be up 2 going to deny the protest. Right. And, and the six is going to be up to, Oh, the Lake is filing protests and it doesn't matter. This milk is going to be up to, Oh,

so it's just a waste of time. It's posturing. Cause what you're trying to do is that you're trying to get the officials on your side. And so hopefully you can get some, you can get some home cooking in your, in yours, but it shouldn't even come down to this. It could,

I should not even come down to the officials. And remember I told you, Ocho. Yes, sir. You don't put yourself in a situation, so a bad call or you needing a call helps you win the ball game. You shouldn't even have been in this position. You were up 20. You were up 9 with like

5 minutes to go. Right. You had a 3-point lead and had a chance to get a loose ball. So, nah, I don't, even if it was true. And I thought it was a situation

that D'Lo did get hit. But that's neither here nor there. You shouldn't have put yourself in that situation. Situation so that him getting hit wouldn't even matter. Right. Wake up with football every morning and listen to my new podcast NFL daily

Million Dollar Worth a Game and had a lot to say. First, he told Gillian Wallow he would put up 175 yards and two touchdowns on prime Deion Sanders.

Let's take a listen to what he had to say. Talk your shit, Reed. I'm putting 175 on Deion. Oh! 175 touchdowns. On prime time. On prime! Currently top prime.

Let me see if I can get him on the phone. Hey, prime was a goat, though. But you got to understand, though, they played a lot of man-to-man back in the day. You feel me? And, like, I feel like generations has changed and receivers has changed. And we got so much stuff. And our generation know so many, like, crazy movements. And we know all this crazy stuff.

You know, Prime used to shut a whole half of a field down. Yeah. A whole field down. But he was going against, like, who? Jerry Rice. Jerry Rice, like, like how tall though? 6'2". And I'm what?

5'9". 5'9", 197. I'm quicker. He said 175. On primes. Two tubs too, don't forget about that. Oh, and there's two tubs on primes? Easy.

175, two tubs. You hear this? I'm so disrespectful with it. While I'm scoring, I'm doing his shit in the end zone. I'm doing his shit in the end zone with it. Then I'm going to point to him like that. You like that, don't you? You like that.

I like it. I like it. Listen, you see that confidence? I know people in the chat, I know you're watching that. And Tyreek really believes that. That's what we all have to do you all have to have that belief and listen the mind is the mind the mind is a powerful thing most of the time when you want to execute something you visualize it in your head you

visualize it upstairs and then you go out and try to do it obviously hypothetically speaking tyreek is fast as hell deon sanders in his prime curly curly prime he talked about was fast as hell. Deion Sanders in his prime, Curly Prime he talk about, was fast as hell as well. So I don't think it would have been anything as far as going deep, crossing routes, over routes, intermediate stuff. You know, I think it's possible

he could have a game where you have 175. Now you ain't just going to fly by prime and think you're just going to outrun him when he's just as fast. I tell you what, you better not throw no outs. Oh, no. Listen, if you do throw out, you better throw it towards out of bounds.

If you leave it behind, it's going the other way. It's going the other way. And then you got to understand, Prime is also exceptional in bump and run. He's exceptional in bump and run. But again, you got to understand. You got to have that wide base. You don't find how to get that wide.

That means you got to go all the way around that. You got to go all the way around that. You got to go all the way around that. And the funny thing is- He make you run the loop. Exactly. And he can run with you. He can run with you. So he had cut that off.

But again, Tyreek is special in his own route, in his own way. But I do see, I understand what he's saying about the 175 because he understands what you can and can't do, but he's never seen a DB of that magnitude. He's never seen a DB. There magnitude. He's never seen a DB. There's nothing like that in today's game.

There's nothing like that. Check this out. Then he said Mike McDaniels called him out. Mike McDaniels called him out after the playoffs lost to the Chiefs. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. A lot of guys aren't used to that. A lot of guys aren't used to sitting inside of a meeting room, being the best player on their team

their whole entire life and then a coach saying, bro, you f***ing suck this f***ing player. You ever had somebody say that to you? Oh yeah, for sure. Miami Dolphins.

You know what I'm saying? The player against Snead. The player, the Chiefs. Everybody see this player against the Chiefs with my f***ing family to the floor. He called me out.

He like, Reek, bro, you supposed to be the f***ing best player in the f***ing league and you got this guy putting hands all over you like that. Man, we pay you all this money for what and for me i love that because i'm gonna take that to heart and i'm gonna get better from it that'll never happen again to me

in my life man you feel me if a mother can not hold me accountable i feel like i'm not i'm not gonna be able to get better you know i'm saying the other guys in the locker room they're gonna look at it as oh if reek can can do it, I can do it. And that's not getting the team better. I need everybody to get better, bro. You know what I'm saying? Baby brother Waddle, I got him up under my wing trying to teach him. I'm like, bro.

He adult. I want everybody to get paid, bro. He adult. Everybody deserve it, bro. I like that. That's loud. But see, here's the thing. That ate at him.

That ate at him. And it's even worse today because you got social media. You got to deal with social media and social media. But obviously, you know, you got to be very strong. You got to be very strong as a player mentally for one to have a coach to be able to call you out in front of everybody. Does y'all have an understanding? Hell, I saw the same thing when I first got to New England. I'm like, wait a minute.

This is the first day and they had just lost the previous season. They lost to Rex Ryan and the Jets in the playoffs. And Bill Belichick used the first meeting to grill Tom Brady and putting up plays. This is why we're home. And this is what we're not going to do this year. And he got into Tom Brady in the meeting. I'm like, wait a minute.

If I'm not mistaken, you never talk to your quarterback. You never chastise your quarterback in front of a team. And that's the first thing they did. And that's the first time I ever saw it. And from that point on, I understood, okay, this is the Patriot way and everybody is held accountable and everyone is expendable here. And I understood that. But what we can talk about, I totally get in that moment, it ate at them. I'd never forget. A quick story real quick. I had a bad game. I think we played the Buffalo Bills. I had a very bad game. And I had a bad game. It was so bad. I remember Coach Lewis calling me out. Obviously, I had some of my teammates, TJ, who stayed on top of me when I didn't play well. He stayed on top of me when I didn't play well. And I felt so of me when I didn't play well. And I felt so bad after having that bad game. I think it was against the Bills. We played the Bills.

We played up there in Buffalo. And I remember going to my office of coordinator. I'll never forget this. Bob Rakowski. I played so bad. My check, I think the check, I felt I didn't earn my game check that week. So I took a $100,000 check.

I never forget. And there's some people that might be able to attest to this. You might be able to find it still on Twitter to this point. I took a $100,000 check to Bob Bercowski, who was my office accord at the time. And I said, I'm giving you this $100,000 check because I didn't earn my paycheck last week with that kind of performance. If I don't play up to par this week, I want you to keep the check. So I wrote him a hundred thousand dollar check. It had Bob Rukowski signed at the bottom and he knew I wasn't playing. I wasn't, I wasn't joking. And I went out that following week.

I don't know if, I don't know if we played the Ravens. I'm not sure who it was we played, but man, I went the, you know what off I went off. I went-what off. I went off. I went slap-ass off. I'll never forget that. But somebody has to be able to find that story or that tweet where I left Bob Rucalsi that $100,000 check because I played so poorly in that previous game. And the following week, I just went off.

And from that point on, I caught fire throughout the rest of the season. It was consistent. But that one game, that ate at me real bad, especially having Marvin call me out and then having to hear my teammates making fun of me as well. Ugh. That's a nasty feeling.

Yeah, it's tough. But, Rick, hey, man, look. Somebody going to get you again with that quick jam. But ain't nobody else out there. There are no other. There are very few people ain't nobody else out there. There are no other there's no nears. There's no other ones or actually the defense that they play

that two man that allows you to be aggressive like that. And then you also have to jump in your pocket anyway. So if he missed you with the initial jump, he's just going to ride you. If you got to say not too many DBs out there have the leeway or the skill set or the quick twitch fibers that want to get up there and pull that shit anyway.

Because if you miss, now you put stress on your safety. Brain on safety. Yeah. Yeah. They don't practice. I mean, guys practiced it. Right. I mean, you think a guy, he's up there, and all of a sudden he get ready to open up. And come right back in. Right. I mean, you think a guy, you think a guy, he's up there

and all of a sudden he get ready to open up. And come right back in. Bam! Listen, you know who was the best at that, Unc? Who caught me around in the middle of my neck

when I was a young pup? That goddamn Dale Carter, man. Oh, DC, yeah, DC. Oh, Lord, man. Lord, Unc, he caught me so clean and I thought he was getting ready to bail. Man, he came back so smooth. You know thought he was getting ready to bail. Man, he came back so smooth.

You know, he was real long. He was lengthy. Pause. Excuse me. Man, that arm caught me. And I couldn't move. And you know, back then, they could touch you at the line of scrimmage back then. Oh, yeah.

Man, I was stuck at the line of scrimmage. Man, his hand all up under my neck. Yeah. I was like, man, ref, what we doing? Man, Ocho, you dance at the line like when I first got in the league like in the 90s. If you dance at the line,

they coming up through that, hey, now you trying to adjust your helmet? They don't came up through your chin. Hey, your helmet? Yeah. Oh, they was some good days. Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They don't let you play like that now. No.

Because now if you touch a guy's face mask, you know, they're going to throw the penalty. The flag coming right at me. Man, they're going to knock your helmet cleaned off. Like, Ralph, you think I came with my helmet sitting up on top of my head like this? So how you think it got like this? Right, right.

Jersey hanging out over my shoulder pan. I said, you think I walked out? So when I came out on the field, this is how my jersey was. Right. Come on, ref. Good days. Michael Penich Jr. wrote a powerful letter to the NFL teams and he said, truth is I'd be more worried if I had been injured.

We don't all come back the same. I know storms. I'm prepared to weather. For most people that'd be more worried if I had been injured. We don't all come back the same. I know storms. I'm prepared to weather. For most people, that'd be the end of their story. But there's more to my story. And I own every page a bit. So I have no problem taking MRIs or x-rays if you ask me. Truth is, it's an EKG that will tell you everything you need to know about me. Come back hard.

I like it. I like hard. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. But listen, even with that letter, as dope as that is, as awesome as it is, there's something that teams can't measure that he has. You can't measure it.

You can't, and that's in here. That's in here. The letter is dope. It's awesome. You know, some owners, some teams, you know how they look at your medical records and it's frowned upon when you have injuries. It's frowned upon.

It just is. So it's dope and what he what he wrote and what he said but they hold they they always hold that against you of course always always it's a red flag to them it's a red flag to them but again michael pennix jr what you put up as a player at udub is enough in itself the resume speaks for itself so there was no point in even writing a letter because when you turn on a film, you know what the fuck you get.

You know what you get. Now, the one thing you can't help is you can't help the injuries from the past. But again, scouts and teams and owners, they hold all that against you. They always do. But I know what they get. The people that play the game of football

that have played in the past, we know what we get with you. And whoever gets you is going to be lucky. They're going to be lucky. He's saying you need to get the EKG. EKG measures heart. So that's what you need. That's what you need to measure.

Don't worry about the MRIs. Don't worry about what they say. Don't worry about what the x-rays say. Get a picture of that EKG and get that readout. Alvin Kamara and Raheem Mostert win the Catch Fishing Tournament. The event took place along the Fort Lauderdale, Florida,

and featured a total of 14 NFL players split into two pairs. Kamara and Mostert's team, Rising Sun, scored 500 points en route to defeating other boats. Kamara reeled in a mahi-mahi for the first catch of the day. Later on, team added total

when Kamara, Moster, and Toby Berthelot hooked three sailfish at once. Hey, we got them boys next year. Huh? We got them next year. We going out there on the boat. We gonna get them. You fish?

but i really think fish i for some reason i really think fish have ears we just don't know about it because it hasn't been scientifically proven but for some reason i just i think if you don't know about it therefore it's like the tree falling in the forest does it make a sound yeah because nobody heard it.

We, or the A-listers, or the one-percenters, as you might call them, the Kevin Hart's, the Tom Brady's, us that are in that circle, we need to get back to having roasts and forget the era and the times that we're in in society and just let that...

He says, I can't explain it, but I know what it is when I see it. I can't explain these pants,

but I know what they are when I see it. Yeah. Yeah. That's the best definition I could give. Somebody said they're called liquid leggings. It does, because it looks like somebody melted them and poured them on them. I mean, because you can see every curve, every contour, everything.

Yeah, man. Yeah. I got to see them. Are they a solid color or is it printed material? They're solid. Like I said, I've only seen like black. I've seen black, red, blue. I've seen the nude color, but Ocho, they like, it's almost

They come from 20 down to beat the Lakers by two on a shot at the buzzer by Jamal Murray, and the Knicks beat the Sixers. They were down by five with 30 seconds left,

and they end up winning the game 104-101. Jalen Brunson hits a three. Josh Hart steals the ball. Devin Chinzo hits a three, and they steals the ball. DiVincenzo hits a three and they end up winning the game 104 to 103. So the two home teams, Knicks and Nuggets, take the road up

to 0. So thank you for joining us tonight. I am your favorite on Shannon Sharp. He's your favorite number 85. Route runner extraordinaire. Bengals ring of fame honoree. Pro bowler, all pro from Liberty City, Chad, Ocho Cinco, Rosado, Johnson. See you Wednesday.
