Okay. That was one of my questions. If you think you could beat a WNBA player. If I could beat a WNBA player, I think absolutely, yeah. If I actually tried, like if I wasn't like on a camera playing how I normally play, yeah, I'd beat the fuck out of them. Even like a top five player? Maybe.

Like Kelsey Plum? She's big as shit, so I don't know. But like Kaitlyn Clarkark i feel like i could lock her up okay yeah kelsey's what like six feet or something like six or five what yeah she's tall as fuck she dates darren waller bro and they're like right there you know damn yeah yeah there's some tall girl hoopers these days man soon they'll be dunking dude yeah i know right god damn did you play like college no i never i didn't grow up playing basketball i played baseball oh yeah so you when did you get in the ball i never i didn't grow up playing basketball i played baseball

in my opinion do you like basketball or baseball more basketball i feel like it's there's so much more going on but like if i was to watch a sport playoff wise i'd say baseball what yeah that's a hot take right there it really is but like it's because i grew up playing baseball so it's like you know you got to have that like you could appreciate like yeah intricacies right right like even like the boring innings to me are interesting you know like when some like you watch a a baseball game with someone that's never watched baseball before like bro shit's boring like to me it's interesting you know it's always interesting it's too slow for me yeah i don't understand it like you probably so yeah i feel like if you understand the game it's better you know i'm saying because you you appreciate like the the shutout innings the no run stuff like certain pitchers all that stuff

what about in person though oh uh basketball for sure same basketball hell yeah hell yeah dude basketball is fun to watch in person hell yeah i just saw a wimby play of dallas like early mid-december it was like courtside oh fire fucking got those courtside seats you're balling bro no no no not balling those are like 510 g's right free three it was free free it was free how did that happen I had to deal with my management up there. Mark Cuban hit you up? I wish, dude. Mark Cuban's lit, bro.

He's lit now. He just sold. Oh, yeah, he did just sold. Four billion, bro. Dude, that's crazy. That is nuts. I mean, the money in the NBA right now is crazy. Dude, hell yeah, bro.

Wemby's probably going to end up a billionaire if he can maintain this. They're saying he's the next LeBron. You don't think so? The next LeBron? God, damn,on god damn that's i mean he could be it's his first year yeah it is early the sky's the limit but the next lebron bro that's like you got a long way to go dude got 20 years yeah 20 years but he's already averaging what like 20 his first season 20 like five blocks and it's crazy bro it's nuts dude he's like what is he seven something seven seven three seven four oh my gosh it's like three of me bro dude crazy if you were that height what would you do oh man i'd first of all be in the league

in the i would hope i'm in the nba i'd hope i use my height for like something like that and not just doing nothing but that actually is a pet peeve of mine when i see someone tall that's not athletic yeah it's it's terrible right it's like what are you doing bro yeah like why are you that tall like i've seen people six eight that can't dunk i'm like that's a waste of potential man right like you could be doing you could be making millions maybe even like six five six four yeah well six five is the average height now in the nba it's the average height average height so you need to be like six eight six ten yeah'10".

No, I'm just saying, like, did you used to practice, like, taking those every day? I don't practice basketball for ****. No way. I don't. That's just natural talent. I don't, yeah. I never have once attempted to go, like, a full week of training in basketball. Never.

Dude. Never in my life. So you just have that raw talent. Yeah, I mean, I feel like playing baseball helps, though. Yeah. You know, being a lefty helps, too. Like, if you're a lefty,

I feel like you've got some type of athleticism with every sport. But I've never gone out of my way to go, like, dude, I need to go try to work on my right hand or left hand for a whole week, a month straight. Maybe a day, but, like, dude, it's just boring. Then I feel like if I do that, I lose my passion for the entertainment side. You know what I'm saying? the entertainment side you know yeah because you lean more towards that than just yeah right

yeah because i feel like if i was going to go this skill route which is what i was trying to do when i started yeah it wasn't fun or it won't be fun for me because that's not how i grew up playing you know like i just around like that was it i feel that yeah it's cool you found your lane because some people focus on most people focus on the skill i'd say yeah that's what everybody does now yeah if you see the community like it's 95% skill-based Yeah, it's all like one-on-one tournaments three on three. Do you ever want to enter those or not? To around yeah, if you want me to like dude, I just played against real prisoners. Yeah. Oh, yeah, literally Yeah, like that was Wednesday or Thursday at this Thursday like and it was three-on-three tournament, and everybody's cold as f***,

and I'm that one guy that's just scoring and saying kiss it, and I grab the mic, and I'm just singing eight mile in front of all the f***ing rappers, and they're just dying, bro. You know what I'm saying? You were still talking? Absolutely.

Bro, it was so weird. When I got there, I was telling one of the guys that ran the shit, I was like, bro, for some reason, I'm not even nervous, bro. I was just warming up. I know everybody's staring at me. I'm f i'm wearing a whole money outfit with money sleeves and a

money right there like who's that white boy right there and i'm like dude like i don't care like i'm trying to live bro like i'm playing against prisoners i'm talking like turning everybody up so i think it was really cool damn they didn't throw hands no no wow dude everybody was coming up to me saying like yo you're really funny and all that this and the third but the mc was like mc was funny as that's dope yeah even when i wasn't playing he was trying to get me to go like engage with like the people that were around yeah because it was like a it was like a bracket tournament a 12 team tournament so we made it all the way to the championship but we lost but even then it's like cool to see like even though i'm not hooping for real like i'm still

bringing entertainment to the people around me the people people that are watching, stuff like that, even though I'm not skilled because all I do is shoot. That's it. I've never seen you take a layup. Dude, it's like a sin for me in basketball to attempt a layup. If I was guarding you, I would literally be in your face. Exactly, bro. I would never try to go down to the lane.

I just won't do it. I don't know why. It's not worth the injury most of the time. Exactly. Because if I get hurt, I'm f***ed. Yeah. I mean, yeah, Because Professor tore his ACL. He was out for like a year or two.

Yeah. That was in like 2019. Oh, f***. Yeah. See what I'm saying? Like if you get hurt, it's like, f***. Is it really worth that layup? That two points?

Like, I'll take the three, bro. Yeah. People be going for all these crazy donks. I'm like, dude. I don't care, bro. It's pickup. Like, f***. Man.

People get mad at you. I see, though. Oh, dude. All the time. Yeah. All the time. I saw a couple fights right yeah but it's never usually with me though it's usually with your teammate yeah yeah

so you just take the uh so like i egg it on but like you know like i will egg it on i'm not gonna lie like i do egg it on but like i won't physically do anything because it's like if you're initiating the instigation all that and then you try to throw hands yeah it makes you look like facts you know what i'm saying it's like okay you're the one pissing the guy off but then you're the one trying to throw hands with him so it's like whenever people get mad at me like i i was just like all right maybe let me chill a sec you know i'm saying but my teammate will escalate it into like the physical stuff i'm like oh yeah and then i'll like chirp on the side like instigate it you know what i'm saying like oh like swing swing swing you know what i'm saying yeah i

remember when nick briz got swung on that was a big deal that was like the first fight yeah it's like though like yeah i know what you're talking about he's actually gotten swung on yeah he got hit i forget when but it was a couple years ago i think and he got hit i've never gotten hit really knock on wood wow that's impressive never i've never gotten swung on that's. I've never gotten hit. Really? Knock on wood. Wow. I've never gotten hit. That's impressive. I've never gotten swung on. That's impressive to me. I've never gotten swung on. Because you'd be yapping in their face. Like bad too.

Yeah. But again, it's not like I'm trying to act hard. You know what I mean? Yeah, you're making a joke. Right. It's more so like I'm making fun of myself and making fun of them at the same time

rather than just trying to humiliate them. I feel like half of them don't even know how to react so they just go towards anger. They're just f**k like yeah but i had this one guy in my men's league bro i'll never forget this this is really recent too i had a clip of him that went like very viral and the whole time like dude this is one game where i was like shooting like curry i swear to god yeah dropped like 35 or whatever damn and if you watch my videos like i don't really post the other team unless it's entertaining you know i'm saying because i more so go for the entertainment side rather than the real basketball so we have a game that next week i'm like trolling i'm like yo what's up bro i have

my like dummy you know that we use for like a prop and yeah he comes over and like slams that you know like just in my face and he gets up my like mouth in the home a mouth to mouth he's like bro you better delete that right now bro or like i'm gonna swing on you just like you got till after this half or you got after this game like to swing out or i'm gonna come up here and like swing on you like oh damn but i was like you know what dude like you bro hit that looks bad on you bro like you'd be stupid to hit me on camera was he huge bro biggest damn like six three god damn two hundred minimum bro minimum bro double your size minimum yeah so if he hits me oh my gosh and he was guarding you Like 6'3". Goddamn. 200 minimum. Bro. Minimum, bro. Double your size.

Minimum, yeah. So if he hits me, I'm f***ed. Oh my gosh. And he was guarding you? Well, he was guarding me in the game when we were recording, but the next game we weren't playing his team. So, I mean, f***. So he wanted the video taken down?

He was pissed? Yeah. I mean, you know, like you're getting f***ed on by a guy that looks like me. Like, I mean, f***. I didn't want that video taken down too, but it's like, bro, you're – the reason he wanted to take it down was because he's like cussing out like a two and three-year-old like you know like a mom with kids you know what i'm saying so it looks bad on you but why are you even doing that you don't mean like it's not my fault i didn't tell you to do

that yeah that's your reaction dude people take these rec leagues so serious it's actually hilarious yeah it's like dude you're winning you're playing for a t-shirt yeah i mean if you want it that bad bro you got it yeah there's there's been a few fights in the lifetime league have you played lifetime where you're no i haven't but that's like real hoopers you know yeah like that it's like ex high school college people that never made it and they're still passionate right yeah i'm in the the league with like 30 year olds past their prime 35 year olds so it's like we're having fun yeah you know like again it's like why are you getting mad when because another thing that i do is before i play people i tell them like look bro if you don't want

to be on camera like it's chill let me know now but i'm letting you know if i score like i'm probably going to talk to you i'm probably going to do some crazy give them a heads up yeah of course you know like i don't want to i don't want to just put a camera in somebody's face although i do that a lot and just you know have them very uncomfortable but like i always try to give people a heads up just the decency you know what i'm saying yeah because i don't want to get kicked out of a league that's where i make my you get kicked out of games i do yeah i get ejected a lot yeah the refs do not like you man some refs do bro it's all bro it's all pick and choose man like if you get a cool ref they don't give a it probably makes their day yeah like i had i literally had this ref during this playoff game come up to me and tell

me like bro i'm so glad y'all are here because if y'all weren't this should be boring boring just watching people old 35 year olds play like yeah real basketball and you got this white dude that's in the corner like bending down and telling somebody to kiss it he's like bro shit is hilarious yeah it's all picking shoes i feel that i saw you play against jason love recently oh yeah was he nice Dude, like at basketball?

like i was doing baseball no i was doing like door dash videos what yeah you were recording your door dash yes this has been happened oh i didn't know that was the thing my first ever youtube video that did good was how to make a thousand dollars in seven days with door dash they got like 30 40k and i was like oh but then i realized i was like bro what the am i doing you know like i'm i'm like a chill dude i'm a funny guy so like let me pick up a basketball this is at the time when frig was really popping with like the park runs yeah and i had pulled up to one of his takeovers or something like that and he cooked my per usual with everybody um the clip went i said send me like decent viral i guess so i was like dude this is like something i could do and i wasn't even dressing up like how i do now it was that next year into february of 2021 or 2022 where i was just like i went to dick's

sporting goods and i was just around like it was just so nonchalant. Yeah. I picked out like a random goof***s having like pink shorts, pink high socks. I had a custom jersey and that's when it started. Like I was just trolling and s***. That's how you got the Gremlin stuff? Yeah, yeah.

Well, I got the Gremlin name from MK. I don't know if you know MK. I saw that video, yeah. Yeah, like it was like for his little who's got next thing of like basically upcoming creators to show like who's got next. Pull like basically upcoming creators to show like who's got next pulled up he reacted to one of my clips and was like bro this guy looks like a okay yeah and then he was like uh his homie was like he looks like a then mk goes and he looks like a

gremlin and i was like bro it's a fire name i feel like i can market that so well yeah you embraced it yeah dude and dude if it was never for that moment, bro. That's dope. Yeah, because most people get called out. It's like an insult. But for you, you embraced that. Yeah, bro. That's dude.

Tell me that's not a hard name. It's pretty hard. It's pretty hard. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. For your vibe. For sure. Matches.

Matches. Made merch out of it. Started a second channel out of it. Like there's so much monetization you can do out of it. Absolutely. And your YouTube's at like 600k now, right? Almost, bro. That is crazy. In two crazy in two years two years yeah that's impressive are you uh purely doing basketball on it or you got plans to expand so i am doing basketball right now but i just did an

au tryout i don't know if you saw that but um it was crazy you tried out no i did an au tryout you know like cam wilder like yeah yeah um i just had my own tryout in my own city it was friday saturday no yeah anyway it was friday two days ago i swear to god it was like an hour before we were pulling up and someone had dm me he was like bro there's nobody here i was like i was like oh this is the worst yeah i get there bro the whole parking lot is packed bro there's at least maybe 200 kids there. That's insane. And it was like a half court. You know what I'm saying?

It wasn't like a full thing. Oh, you didn't even have a full court? Dude, no, because I didn't know how big it was going to be. I always underestimate how big I am because getting people to pull up somewhere and be a part of something is so hard. Right. You know what I'm saying? But when I got there, dude, there's so many people.

This was in Dallas? Yeah, it was in Dallas, my own city. Wow. Yeah. 200 people. And you can only pick what 10 i picked yeah i picked 10 but i already had four so i only picked six oh that must have been tough yeah it was dude like dude i remember this kid this kid's dad like checked me during the no he's like maybe you should let my son

try you know he drove like seven hours away to see you and i'm like oh he just checked me like come on bro you know like one of the drills was making three in a row like like in the corner. But thank God he only made two. That would have been hard to get him from San Antonio every tournament like that. Yeah, that's a far hike. Yeah, dude. So it's like I am doing basketball and I will start.

We'll continue to do the trolling. But I am trying to do a you. I'm trying to do obviously the girl shit because nobody does that. Yeah. And then on my second channel, I'm pulling up to high schools and reacting to the youth games and all that and just really tapping in. Doing like four or five things right now. I love that.

Yeah, I think the league, the AAU stuff is dope because the overtime league is popping off right now. That Eli Ellis kid. Bro. Dude, he's different. Tough. He's not even tall. He's just – I don't know how he's doing it, honestly.

South Carolina, bro. Commit. It's crazy. Yeah. He's raw. His little brother is good, too. Yeah, I saw he had a game winner. I like Carolina bro commit it's crazy. Yeah. He's raw. His little brother's too good. His brother's good too. Yeah I saw he had a game winner. I like those kids man. Tough. Yeah.

You think they'll make it in college? Hell yeah dude. Yeah. Bro he's playing against like the top high schoolers right now. That's true. Hell yeah. I think he'll do fine. I think if he plays in a system he'll do fine. Yeah. But he's not going to be the center of attention like there's no way. Yeah. You follow the NBA heavy? I keep an eye on it. Why? You don't got a team or anything? Clippers. There's no way. Yeah. You follow the NBA heavy?

I keep an eye on it. Why? You don't got a team or anything? Clippers. Clippers? Yeah. They got a good squad this year. Dude, hell yeah. They might win it.

Let's just pray we can make it. Yeah, if they don't get... Yeah, please. Please, Kawhi. Please. That injury curse was... Bro. They should have won with Griffin.

Dude. CP. Lob City, bro. That's when I got hooked on them. With CP3, JJ Redick, Karon Butler, Chauncey, Jamal Crawford, Matt Barnes. My team was nasty.

If they didn't get injured, they would have won at least one or two. Dude, we blew so many 3-1 leads, though. Grizzlies, Rockets, Spurs. JJ's giving Doc some heat for that right now. I don't know if you saw that. Hell yeah, bro. He's not lying, though. He never takes accountability for anything. Bro, I remember when we were blowing those 3-1 leads. It was never his accountability for anything. Like, bro, I'm even remember when we were blowing those three,

one leads, it was never his fault, bro. It was like, why? Like you're like this, the focal point of the team, you're the coach,

you know what I'm saying? Yeah. You run the game plan. Like the game plan goes through you. I saw Pat Bev talking about this. He was saying he's, he's too loyal sometimes. So he'll put his boys in.

Of course. He'll put the vets in. Think about it. He signed his son. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, and he was coming off.

I mean, granted, he was doing good in the playoffs. He was coming off the bench averaging 15 or whatever during that series. I don't know who they were playing years ago. But, I mean, yeah, he's a good favorite coach. Yeah, for sure. You like NBA or college basketball better? NBA for sure.

I can't get hip to college. Really? You've been March Madness? You don't like it? No, dude. I've tried. I got hip when Zion was in. Yeah, yeah yeah i think that was when i actually tried to like tap in and watch his games and stuff like that but nah dude nba is more of that to me i feel that i actually

like high school more than college yeah oh okay we're talking about high school i'd watch high school all day yeah hell yeah bro high school is super entertaining for some reason especially because like the the stands are so close you know so you feel like you're in like a whole arena you know what i mean yeah all the players can hear you yeah like you can hear all like the chirps and stuff like that you can hear the talking on the sideline it's really dude it's really cool absolutely which city do you like playing in the most basketball yeah probably dallas right now i'm not going to say Dallas because that's like I'm always there. I'd say LA. LA was cool.

LA, okay. Venice? Venice is fire, but no. I did like a park takeover there like last year in August. I don't remember. It was with Kenny Chow and all that. Oh, dope. Yeah, that was like the best park takeover that I've done.

Okay. That was fun. Kenny can hoop a little bit, right? No. No? No, Kenny's buns. I'm glad you asked that. We're camera Okay. That was fun. Kenny can hoop a little bit, right? No. No? No. Kenny's buns. I'm glad you asked that.

Kenny, like, where's the camera on? Kenny, you suck. Yo, he's probably watching this. Good.

Good. He's going to hear word for word, bar for bar, Kenny, you're... Damn. Did you play him in ones?

Yes, I played him in ones. You lit him up? No, he cheats, bro. He's a cheater. He beat you? Yeah,

bro, he's a cheater, dude. This is the finesse king, dog. He lost to Kenny. This is the finesse king. How do you cheat? Well, when you win, he always wants to extend the score. And then if he wins that extended score, you didn't win the game, period.

You know what I'm saying? Like, he will finesse foul calls. Three-pointers don't count. Dude, it's Kenny Chow, bro. Yeah. The name should be like, oh, okay, I get you. I feel that. Yeah, fouls are so subjective in one-on-one.

Bro, yeah. I remember we did this three- subjective in one-on-one. Bro, yeah. I remember we did this three-spot one-on-one for his channel. This is when I was first coming up. Beat him in the wing, demolished him at the top of the key. It was like 6-0. He comes back 7-6, and it was just foul call after foul call. It was like Kenny, bro. I don't want to be a d***, you know what I'm saying,

because it's my first time here. But, like, bro, it's Kenny Chow. I feel that. That's all you need to say. What about has he got you play against him yet? Oh my. Did you see that clip? No, I didn't.

What happened? He's okay. So I did a park take or a tour like a Texas tour last year in April. Yeah. In San Antonio is one of the spots and he pulled up and his manager action. Jack, whatever had like a blunt like a lit blunt, like smoking it. And Hezzy grabbed it, put it in his mouth, pause, was like going back and forth and cooked me like during the whole crowd. Like the whole crowd's watching this. Smokes the blunt like while he's cooking my shit.

No way. It should be viral, bro. It's his pinned video, bro. Bro, I got to watch that. Dude, it's crazy, dog. I was like, oh my f*** god. But the thing about me, which I really f*** with, which not taking away from hezzy because the clip was viral is like even when i get cooked like that it's still cool for me to post you know what i'm saying because i don't have that lane of

serious hoops wow you know what i'm saying so even when i get dunked on my ankles broken and all that like i still love posting that damn most people would not post i've never not posted nothing that's bad happened to me yeah never i feel like most people would never let that see light they'll probably cut it from the main video honestly that was the the focal point of the thumbnail yeah yeah you know like it was lit and then i posted on my instagram my youtube and all that and it helps bro you get a lot of love too doing that like it's just honest since like it's part of the game like you're gonna get on sometimes you're not gonna always look good yeah who are your favorite creator basketball creators to watch right now favorite creators dc heat okay um i think he's doing some unique stuff i think that's the mr

beast of basketball yeah i could see respectfully um i'd say next top you said top three yeah damn chris white not really no like it's it's more that's like serious yeah i'd say frigga okay frigga yeah he mixes in a little yeah like he's he kind of does dc but like more so like streetball stuff like with dressing up like superheroes and all that and then i guess a new one that's come up is jaylu i haven't heard of that one jaylu yeah frigga put him on oh wait, wait, I think I might. Is he young? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, super shifty kid. Bro, like an insane.

He's the one who I can watch. That's like his own creator. Now that does serious hoops, but I'm still entertained by it. I filled up super, super tough. So is that one kid that just dribbles a GOS? Yeah, have you played against him? No, dude, jokes. Yeah have you played against him no dude jokes yeah i played with him like in a particular when i was first coming up and he was cooking

curvo dolo i don't know if you know curvo dolo there was like a pop and tiktoker at the time but yeah they could they could sucks bro i've we've shot chopped it up about playing but i don't know i think it'd be boring he doesn't really have like a personality you know what i mean yeah i only know him for just dribbling. Yeah. Funny kid though. Yeah. What'd you think of that NBA all-star game last week? Oh, it's lame,

bro. It's like, what the fuck? Yeah. Boring. They need to revamp it, right? Yeah.

I feel like, I feel like if there was a point limit, I think if like you go like first to a hundred and then I say playing defense is another thing. Yeah. And then like, maybe i feel like the draft was cool like when you had the captains i like that yeah i feel like that was really cool because it it just makes someone competitive like damn if this guy didn't pick me like now i'm trying to go at him now you know like it builds that subconscious like aggression to want to like

beat him like anthony edwards like said that you Edwards said that. When someone didn't pick him or whatever, he wanted to just go at him. I miss the draft. I remember that one year they picked Harden last. There you go. Perfect example. Clowning him in shit. It's like, bro, that's your chance to go shut these people up. You playing a lot of celebrity games?

I just did in Cleveland. You did the NBA one? Yeah. It was for a charity thing. did the NBA one? Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. Wait, what? No, it was like for a charity thing, like Bobby Gibson or something like that. Got it. But it was like frigging DC Heat's little thing, too.

Dope. But it was cool. NBA had one, I think. I think Tristan. Did Tristan Jasper? Oh, you're talking about that one? No. Hell no, I didn't play in that one.

Yeah, Tristan Cook, though. Yeah, you got to play in that one next year. Dude, I hope so, bro. That'd be dope. You got to hit up Tristan. Have you done anything with Tristan? No, but that's a cool creator, too. I like what he does.

Fire. Genuine dude. He's got handles. And those trick shots are nasty, dude. Yeah, dude. I feel like that brand-friendly shit is so good. That's how you make money. Yeah.

Yeah, because now any sponsor can knock on his door. Bro, this kid's probably making so much money. Millions. YouTube is probably pissed money to him. So that's what I'm trying to do. Like with the AU stuff, like I'm trying to at least go to like the brand friendly route just a little bit.

You get any good sponsors yet? Yeah, I've gotten a couple of brand deals. Like the Mavericks one was like the coolest one so far. I just sit in courtside and I was with my homie too. Did some with DraftKings earlier in the play or last year in the playoffs when they started. Nice. And then I did some blue chew. It's like a. Okay. Yeah. i don't know if you heard no i have yeah so haven't used it but

i've seen them it works yeah it works it works it works oh yeah that stuff scares me because i know it works but how long do you really want to be in that position you know what i mean yeah you're gonna stay in there for a good uh maybe an hour just depending on you know like the type of guy you are but yeah you take one of those you're in there bro we'll end off with uh who you think your goat is all time basketball yeah like nba nba dude this this will probably get a lot of views so my goat this is my goat i'm gonna say lebron okay i didn't watch jordan growing up so like i can't say that. You know what I mean? I say LeBron.

That's a good answer because you literally didn't see him, so you're just basing it off your perspective. But if I'm going off the last dance, I mean, dude, Jordan, that's my name too, so it's like, but no, LeBron. LeBron's a goat. You got to think about this, bro. Ten years in a row, that's like a decade.

You know what I'm saying? Going to the NBA Finals. Just going. I mean, yeah, he lost, but how the f*** can you get him? People always f*** on him when he has people to play with, but then f*** on him even more when he doesn't win with f***ing players. You know what I mean? Those Cavs teams were a**.

Bro, you're not going to win with a Gauskis and a Verischel as your center, bro. Who else is a shooting guard? You don't even know. I don't even know know i couldn't name four people on that team yeah but i mean it does suck that he did lose with the heat twice right it was twice lost against the spurs lost oh yeah twice twice and the maps yeah the mask the mask one was bad that was bad he should have won that shot like piss so but my guts lebron i filled up yours lebron you think he'll get another one before he retires absolutely i think it'll be this year this year yeah or not even uh in the playoffs right now bro it's lebron dude they they weren't even in this in the playoff talk last year on this time

and they made it to what the conference yes ms and they got swept though nuggets or granted it was by you know like the winning team yeah the nuggets but bro it's brawn dude like you're not you're not you're not a first round you're a clippers fan though absolutely they're looking nice this year hell yeah i think if they stay healthy bro we got it yeah we got it i wouldn't be mad about it they haven't even been to the finals i like seeing new teams win bro but it's all up to pg and kawaii and uh and russ absolutely i've been peeping that pg podcast yeah yeah that's fire it's fire it. I love that. Yeah.
