I'm definitely gonna shoot first Yeah, that's that's that was good agent You got two more than the bottom person two more he wasn't a perform former score and Emma two more than the bottom person. Two more. And he wasn't a performer score, never mind. But you got facts? Yeah.

I'm pretty sure he didn't practice shooting either. Not like you did. That was the worst part. All that shooting. Shooting and cheating and changing the rules and all that for 12. Yeah, it didn't help.

That's what I get. That's what my ass get. See, that's... Cheaters never prosper. Kind of. Sometimes. Sometimes. Sometimes. At times they do, yes. Sometimes they do.

And sometimes they don't, as we'll talk about later in the show. Sometimes you get 25 games of suspension. Sometimes you cheat and they take you back. So you can cheat some more. We do not condone cheating on this show, thanks. We do not on Lexi's Arena presented by Underdog Fantasy. Yeah, all of you are gonna change. Flip it off, flip it off, everything's different now. All of you are gonna change.

So Lexi, were you surprised you finished the highest amongst the crew? No. Not at all? No. You knew what time it was? Yeah. Okay. All the views about the change. So, Lexi, were you surprised you finished the highest amongst the crew? No. Not at all? No. You knew what time it was? Yeah. Okay.

Well, I'd say Gil was only shooting NBA threes from his little gun, so that wasn't going to work. Basketball gun, correct? Oh, yeah, from the basketball gun. Make sure it fits. Brandon wasn't practicing at all. He was shooting threes from his gun. And Rashad was shooting five threes at LA Fitness and then going home. So I don't, I was in the gym every day preparing for a season that's upcoming, not for the shootout, but I knew it was all going to translate.

Multitasking. So it is Lexi's arena. So anytime Gil's talking, you just want to shush him. You have that power. Ooh! Blow the whistle. Foul on the play. Ooh! Blow the whistle. Foul on the play. Foul on the play. I don't foul.

I just let you go basketball. So here's what's cracking in Lexi's arena today. We have the highest finishing female in the first ever Gills shootout, Jenna Bandy, pulling up to talk her shit in just a little bit. The Heat finally made a trade, but what does landing Scary Terry mean for Miami? And on the 18th anniversary of Kobe's 81-point game, Embiid and Cat both made history.

so lexi this is your show but we're going to start with the former namesake of the show just a question for him the auxiliary Negro on the couch Breaking news Hillary no coach got fired Yeah beat you to that Damn well Looks like we're gonna do a little pivot. This is why we're alive on the air The Milwaukee Bucks have dismissed coach Adrian Griffin Damn. Well, looks like we're going to do a little pivot. This is why we're live on the air. The Milwaukee Bucks have dismissed Coach Adrian Griffin.

Dang. Of course, to tell ESPN, it's according to Woj. Just broke. Da-na-na. Da-na-na. Broke two minutes ago. That's why we are live on the air. Damn. Gil, I'm quick.

Now, Gil, you said. I'm quick with it. The Nassus hit you? No. They didn Gil, you said... I'm quick with it. The Nassus hit you? No. Dame hit you. Now, Gil, you said his job would be particularly easy after the Dame trade. Just roll the balls out, let them do what they do. Giannis, supportive of him being hired, replacing Boothoser,

who got the boot this past offseason. What's your immediate reaction to finding out that Adrian Griffin is no longer the head coach in the Milwaukee Bucks? I'm pretty sure this didn't have nothing to do with basketball. What's your immediate reaction to finding out that Adrian Griffin is no longer the head coach in the Milwaukee Bucks? I'm pretty sure this didn't have nothing to do with basketball. I mean, because their record is two. They're number two. They're number two. They're playing well without, you know, their third option, Middleton, you know, being fully there. So this probably didn't have nothing to do with the performance part of the game.

This probably has something to do with personal, so... And there was that situation, I believe, before the season started. Terry Stotts, who I think was brought on to be assistant coach, apparently got into it with Adrian Griffin during practice. Felt a little slighted and disrespected when he tried to pull Giannis and Dame to the side after a shoot around and got chastised in front of the whole team Whoo damn this is a joke they bring him back as a head coach Terry starts he pulling up They probably would that would be crazy if they did that That's not very Immediate reaction to Adrian Griffin getting the boot from the Bucks of Milwaukee.

Yeah, shocking. But yeah, like Gil said, it has to be something that has nothing to do with basketball because they have the second best record in the East. So, I mean, it's sad because you always love, one, you always love to see a black man as a head coach at NBA, and that's something that people have been really wanting across all sports. So it's unfortunate, but business. And according to Woj, the Bucs are expected to make assistant Joe Prunty interim coach.

Source to tell ESPN Canyon, what's your immediate reaction to Adrian Griffin getting sent to Chile, Gonzaga? Damn. Bullshit. I wish I had more information for you yeah surprising definitely surprising but like everybody has said and I just reiterated

just it's not nothing to do with the game of basketball unfortunately so Bucks 30 and 13 right now second in the East three and a half games out of first place Celtics doing decent. Obviously, they've had their kind of hiccups

and road bumps with this Damiana situation. I think you guys would have liked to see a lot more pick and roll utilized. Apparently, the Bucs do as well. Who do we feel like? All speculation at this point, this is Lexi's arena for the Bucs. My first mess up. My first mess up.

I was perfect yesterday. I was perfect yesterday. As you guys know, I prep mentally, so when I get these curveballs... Maybe it's the bow tie. It is cutting off my leg. Overweight Chippendales. Hated it. Dancer.

Plus size, not overweight. Still sexy. Hated it. Who do we feel like, if we had to speculate and hypotheticalize, who do we feel like made this move? Nice work. Do we feel like this is coming from the franchise player, this is something organizationally, or?

I don't want to speculate, but, yeah, it's shit. From the franchise player this some organizationally or I? Don't want to speculate don't But yeah, it's shit It could be that It could be yeah, I mean Not to say that Yannis had anything to do with this But I'm sure the team would potentially consult him before making a move like this in the Lesson of his pay grade. Okay, let's Somebody else

Yeah, this ain't above his pay grade God this is on his pay grade right now. Okay, I don't He probably knew I mean, you know, he had that big speech on, you know, how everyone needs to do better, coach better, better, yeah. Everybody needs to do better. Yeah, you know, so there's going to be some speculation that he probably had something to do with it. But at the end of the day, you know, it ain't justifiable, right? You know, this is no different when, you know, was it Blake?

Blake in Cleveland? What? Black? Cleveland? What? Black? Black? David Black? Yeah, when he got fired and then, you know, Tyrone Lue took over and they won a championship. It's like, ah. We gonna miss you.

Yeah. Yeah, don't worry. And what the black man do, man? God damn. Damn one. I know. Second, like, that's why when people ask. Damn one. I know. Second, like, that's why when people ask, you know, about jobs and wanting a job as it, why? Why?

Like. See what they can do. Second in the East, motherfucker. The last didn't get fired. Second to last to get. I got fired and my team is two. Yeah, the fact that he he's got he's fired before Mozzie in Detroit right now is insane Unconfirmed reports that Doc Rivers is currently circling the block

Trying to find a parking spot How they take him out to a cornfield mafia stop. Damn, that's, I don't even know what else to say on this one. Damn shame what happened to Flip. Damn shame. Adrian Griffin fired as Bucks head coach. We will give you more information and updates as we have them, but as of right now, just a small blurb. But damn, they put the call in,

and there wasn't nothing we could do about it. Woo. Always a lot of fun on Lexi's arena. Hey, so you got your first breaking news? I'm sorry I had to break it, because I knew it, but. I know, you was quick. I should, I should do it. I know, Dad.

And Gil, to your point, David Blatt, when he was booed by the Cavs, he was in the midst of his second season, was 30-11 at that point, and he got fired and replaced by Ty Lue. So Prunty was the interim coach for the Bucs in 2018 in between the transition between Jason Kidd and Budenhoser, so he does have some experience in this role, but damn. Yeah, somebody sat down with somebody and was like,

hey, this is what I need you to do. But damn, yeah, somebody sat down with somebody was like I'm not gonna be here All right, well let's keep this thing moving so that's an original question Yeah, you made an appearance on Paul George podcast this week and talked about how you jacked MJ for some of his widgets gear After you joined the team in 2003. That man is a machine, man. MJ. There's items that his team searches for on the internet. Let's say you got some PEs, right?

They're just made for you. So if he ever see them on the net being sold, he knows every item. That's crazy. Like them shorts. So I had my son when he was in Jordan County, had my son go up there and get his sign. And he was like, hey, where'd you get this? My dad. Who was your dad?

Gilbert. I knew it. Where's the rest of the shit? Because, you know, when he left, he left all his game and practice stuff. So when he seen that, he knew that was his stuff. So he was like, give me the rest of the shit. And then he signed all his old, all his practices. So I have his under game practice shorts, under game game shores had his orthotics I was or

thought I'd bring you my career for real yeah y'all thought y'all was getting the pages here oh yeah you were another man's orthotic hell yeah that's MJ did you spray down first huh you spray him down first? Huh? You spray them down first? Hell no, it was MJ. It don't matter? They worked. You raw-dogged MJ's worth out of you. Yes. Did they work? Did they work? Three-time All-Star, three-time All-NBA.

Oh, so this was... Yes, they worked. Did you use them the whole time? Like Mike. Like Mike, really? That's funny. What? That's hilarious.

That's like wearing another nigga's bra. Not too like Mike for real. It ain't no, it's not a regular... That's like wearing another nigga's drawers, dog. No. I do like Mike's real life. It ain't no, it's not a regular thing. That's like wearing another nigga drawers, dog. No, it's like wearing Michael Jordan drawers. Michael Jordan. Not regular.

It's like, nigga, feet sweat when you walk. Yeah. Draws, then socks. I feel like it's that order. Just like, because everybody's calling me cat. Right? So look Wait, you got Offer space jail, which is right. So look

This is this is his game shorts This is the game shorts that he wears under the games. I had him sign me Well, how many pair of those does he have is only one is one just one? Yeah, I had some of them Yeah, so just you jack MJ for his UNC short I didn't jack him. He left them that you And then I made him sign it and you didn't give him back and then this is his this is his bag right here God damn it. This is it right here. You still have the bag. I still got That's the real

That's the way that shit was that's how old we fuck 20. There's a 23. That's the way that shit was back then. That's how old we fucking are. 23? That's how old we fucking are. Who wrote the 23? Do that shit and throw it right in the middle. We don't even use bags. One thing I'm playing, man. Look, this is practice uniform.

Still crunchy, probably sweaty. Did you wash? No, no. You raw dogged the jersey too. I'm pretty sure sure you sniffed it you sniffed it. Huh? Did it smell like tequila cigars got his practice shows? Them being at 23, I'm gonna stop calling kill a lot. I don't know why they do it You get where do you where do you keep this? These are the game ones. They turn colors.

They turn colors. They ain't purple, man. They are. It's 23. We played them. 23? Nah, nah. Oh.

Look at those big ass shorts. Hey, look. These might tear. It's all crunchy right here. It's all crunchy. And then these is the ones he wore in the practice. Wait, how many? I was supposed to say, how many USC shorts are there?

So he has one for practice and one for game. Ah. How much does that shit weigh? Where do you keep this MJ stuff, just out of curiosity? Storage. Come on, man. I got, look, come on, man. I got that.

And what's so funny is I have all the... This is before a dry fit. I have all the game, I have all the practice uniforms. I mean, the game... I got the game stuff too. So these are the game shorts I have that... so I'm having them framed. And you've just been sitting on this stuff for 20 plus years? Yep. Never washed?

Nope. Original? Original. I don't know why they be thinking I be capping, bro. Is that true? I was just joking about Doc Rivers. But as you guys know, I can see the future. Negro dominance in action.

So Doc Rivers has emerged as a serious candidate for the Bucks job, according to Sean. Let's make sure. Hold on. Let me go to the internet. Make sure we're not getting ball sacked or any of those others. And if that's not real, then blame my father because he's the one who just sent it to me. But you know. Old heads use social media differently. So according to Shams, it was reported about eight minutes ago,

Doc Rivers has emerged as a serious candidate to become the Milwaukee Bucks new head coach. Sources are telling Shams in the athletic. Do you like Doc on the games? No, he don't have the on the game voice. Gil, don't hurt me. No, no don't have the on-the-game voice. Kill! No, no. So, no. Not a fan? Mm-mm.

I don't mind him. I don't mind him. I don't mind him. I think it's funny how some of his former players call him Glenn, like they don't respect him as a doctor. But that's neither here nor there. That would be insane.

Doc? Not a lot of options. Doc is on the block in 414. I told you he was circling. Circling. Hey, that's funny you did say that. Y'all need some help? Y'all got a 3-1 lead.

We can blow real quick. Oh. Just kidding. No disrespect to Doc Rivers of the River Sam. We're kind of all over the place today on Lexi's Arena. I still can't believe you have the bag of MJ soiled practice stuff in the original holder. The sharpie then 23 on the shorts. What do orthotics say is what I want to know.

Someone, listen, someone has them. I don't think they know they have them So I threw my shoes one. I threw my shoes out And in my shoe and then they were in my shoes and I forgot to take him out Did you realize let's get back to this thing? It was the the when I went to wear the next day. I was like what and I was like, oh shit So let's get back to this all thought of thing. Mm-hmm How Oh shit, so let's get back to this orthotic thing. Mm-hmm How easy it was it was in there and then I was not and I put him in mind It is going down on Lexi's arena

So y'all foot shaped the same? Yeah. Like, no, no, no, no. Oh, you just was in pain. One was a 13, and one was a 13 and a half. So you was just in pain. No, I had to shave the... So the arch in his foot is identical to yours?

No, it wasn't. You didn't care? No, you didn't care. No. Because it was like a 13 and a half. Because orthotics pretty much are uncomfortable when you first put them bitches on for your own fit. Nah, nah, he wore those.

Like when you first get them bitches down, they're uncomfortable. They're not right with your arches. They build your arches. He was flat footed. So they got to build arch up in it so they put a certain, they make the thing a certain way, Gil. No, not the hard. He didn't have the hard ones.

He didn't have those hard ones. So they weren't custom a little bit. It wasn't it wasn't what we were used to You know his shit was from about probably by day It wasn't the hard was that's like it was you know, so I just cut I just cut the little Yeah, I get a picture with no He took a picture with your son though when you smash, huh? He took a picture with a lot Yeah He picked my son to do the you know how you shoot shoot for the for everyone to get the shoes at the end of the

Camp, you know my son did they get the shoes up in the no my son missed he pulled the GA Actually, he did Better not do it over there with all that pressure. Jordan tapped him on the chest. Oh, yeah, I'll send some okay Jay out there Go get these signs you go to this camp Soon as he seen it he was like a, nah, where'd you get this from? And he was like, where's the rest of the stuff

Arena for hosting the first ever Gil shootout presented by Underdog Fantasy. Can I ask y'all a question? Lexi can Gil ask us a question? What Gil? Okay. How come when y'all do the video all y'all shots go in right? When they show mine it's all my misses. Well cuz you lost. I know but you can still give me my 12 makes to make it look like I was balling out that mud That's a shit on loop You were too chill Gil on Saturday, yeah, you got miracle You got miracle you had to if you got to the next round y'all wrong I see what's going on up in here. What you deserve. I know.

I can't even. So, Jenny, you finished third and were the highest-ranking female in the competition. Made it to the final round, started out high from round one. Why did you feel so comfortable out there from the jump? I mean, like Gil, you know, I got some practice in. Just not at the district. But, yeah, shooting's my strength, you know. I played college ball, but that's my strength.

So I got the reps in. I kind of understood what the format was, and I didn't have a rack to shoot on or anything, but, yeah, I got my reps in. Yeah, I noticed before the competition, the rack was slanted this way. You weren't rolling with it, so you spun it the other way. Yeah, I didn't like how when you pulled the first ball, then the balls would roll. I didn't like that.

I didn't want to mess it up. So I was pulling them from the back so then they wouldn't roll. Okay. Yeah. Okay. And Gil obviously rigged the first ever Gil shootout with the 50 shots. Or you can just turn it around and just pull from the front and just roll down. I don't like that.

I don't want it to roll and then I fumble it a little bit. There's a reason why I got farther than you, Gil. I'm about to just say that I got 12 so I don't fucking know. What do you know? What do you know about it? Nothing.

Lexi's a real shit. This is Lexi's room, sir. The fact is, you said you ain't gonna lose no girl. You lost the two girls. I did hear that. I heard those little words. The shots fired. Let her next day or now as well.

I'm just saying. What was it, though? I want to know. Were you nervous? Like, what was it? Because you talked so much. He peed a little bit. He didn't practice any midis. How you didn't practice no midis for your own?

I did practice midis. No, he was too busy practicing moonshots. He forgot about the mid-range. No, no, no. I was shooting moonshots just to, because that was going to be taunting. But I shot midis all morning. Just the lights cut on a little too high.

Lights were too bright for you? Turn them off. Turn them off. It's too bright. We were all just so amazed that you missed. So we're all screaming at you. And I feel like you kind of, it got to you a little. I didn't hear none of that.

Yes, you did. All I felt was, god damn it, I'm missing. Shame. Yeah, we just heard this shit. What happened? I think even when it came out of my head, I was like, fuck! hear none of that yes you did all i felt was god damn it i'm missing shit what happened i think i even when i came out my head i was like fuck it was it was just all bad so on his personal youtube page gil shared a conversation between you two from april 2021 when he was first pitching the shootout to you yeah can you tell us about that conversation and why you believe the shootout would be a success yeah i mean gil's always coming up with crazy ideas, but this one actually made a little sense to me when I,

when I read it. But, um, yeah, he was, he's, he pitched it to me. Like he wanted to combine American Idol and three point shootout and make it like a reality thing and winning big money, even more than like a hundred K. I think you had like the the winner like 250k and then it was like 125 and 50 and 15 yes like everyone gets money um but he was like how good's your nba three that that might hurt you you know i was like i mean if i get my reps and i could do it but that was two years that no shucks that was 2021 yeah and then for it to come to life and see all of it come to fruition and how well the turnout was, it's amazing. I'm very curious to see where it goes. So Gil, it was supposed to be 250. Did child support have anything to do with

that number dwindling down to 100K? No, this was supposed to be on FOOTBALL. Yeah, you know this was supposed to be on you know Fubo. Oh, yeah, you did say that yeah, it was a football like cuz you know, I had to in my contract I can create another show So this is what I was trying to pitch to them, you know the reality style So, you know from there was just tweaking tweaking tweaking and now a much Legally different version of that original idea was presented to Underdog Fantasy. It was the first ever Guild Shootout.

So, Jen, what was the level of competition in this shootout? The level was high. I mean, coming in there, I was like, all right, this is my chance to prove myself, you know. Sometimes when you're an influencer, you get that stigma, like you're just a trick shooter or you're just an influencer. So I knew if I could, you know, put up some good numbers, I'd kind of get that respect. But as soon as Gil got out in the first round, I was like, I think that helped my confidence for sure. And I was like, wait, there's a chance. This isn't rigged, you know?

Did you come in? Because that's what we all thought, too. Yeah, when I heard, I was like, he was pitching, and he's like, it's Gil's shootged, you know? Did you come in? Because that's what we all thought, too. Yeah, when I heard, I was like, he was pitching it, he's like, it's Gil's shootout, you know, I'll be in. I'm like, you're in it. It's your own shootout, you're in it? How is that? He's like, yeah. You're still quiet.

This is so funny, seeing Gil quiet for once. Yeah. It has been strange in Lexi's arena to see our former name. Funny thing was when you got to eat crow, certain things it does to you. But there was a lot of good hoop shooters out there. And you could see how serious everyone was taking it, going to the other gym, practicing over there,

or getting the reps in with the racks early. Wait, so that's where everyone was, the other gym? Yeah, in the other gym. Wow. Yeah. Because he kept leaving. Who? Anthony.

Yeah, I was wondering where everybody... And like, not smile. Yeah, I was kind of like, wait, is no one taking this seriously? I'm in the gym. But they're all at the other one. Because it was, you know, the cameras are running around. Everything wasn't on the floor. Like the lights thing when we came out, that was on the floor.

So, like, it's kind of, yeah. Yeah. Man, I didn't think of that. So, for the other potential competitors at home, to know about what kind of work it takes to succeed in the Guild Shootout, next time you come around, what was your preparation process like? Yeah. come around what was your preparation process like yeah um you know I I coached for five years before being an influencer and um I have I have coaches that I'm still friends with so I was able to hit them up get in the gym get on the shooting gun um but other than that like I think it it

really helped me the fact that I have been in a situation before where 100k was on the line, not once but twice. And I've won both times. So kind of being familiar with that helped me, like understanding it's the little details that matter. Like I remember my first 100k that I won, you know, people were saying, oh, I'm a tryhard or you're doing too much. Well, are you just going to wing it if you have 100k on the line? Like that I won you know people were saying oh I'm a try hard are you doing too much well are you just gonna wing it if you have 100k on the line like that's that's on you that's stupid I think that's stupid right and then again um same thing I it was it's the preparation of little details so so like getting in there early and seeing that the racks were slanted and I was like okay well I kind of want to make sure that I practice with the slanted rack I never

had that before so I wanted to see how that went and then um I think the first round I even placed all the balls like so that I could grab it on the seams you know and then after that I was like you know what I'm not gonna place the balls like on the seam where I want it because it'll actually make me mentally slow down because I felt a little bit rushed in the first round, and I was like, oh, I've got way more time than I think. So if I don't grab it on the seams and I just grab it and then I kind of mess with it, feel it, it'll give me that breath and that patience that I need to focus and hit my shot.

Okay. Yeah. So you and Lexi had some of the largest sections in the crowd. Cheryl Swoop. Cheryl was. Leading the charge. Cheryl turned up every time you guys went up. Very, very vocal and her supportive. You guys along with the rest of the crowd. Lexi, you had your own section there. Yeah. Yeah, I did. Signs. Camera angles. So sweet. Additional camera angles. You know, Rudy, can you tell all the ladies out there why more of them should come out and go for their chance at 100k in the next shootout because it was just y'all too we needed more we put the bird call out y'all the only two who responded you know what i i credit a

lot of that like comfortability to lexi like she's wmba player right like i'm an influencer like that's my title right and for her to just kind of Accept me and like look I got my friendship bracelet baby girl. You gave it to me You cuz you had her friendship bracelet on Shooting the whole time I was gonna put mine on yours Brandon half-ass Rashad I was gonna put mine on in the final round. That's why I just think You make them hater bracelets with nasty messages I was going to put mine on in the final round. That's why. I'll never make y'all a bracelet. Can you make them hater bracelets with nasty messages?

I just didn't get to where I was supposed to get to. Hater bracelets. But what I was saying about Lexi was the fact that, you know, she was championing me. I was championing her the whole way. Same with Cheryl, you know. So I definitely encourage more girls to come. I think just girls are better shooters than guys

in general. So I definitely think this is a competition for them to excel. you can't really argue it right now in this moment. The girls are better shooters than guys. What was the smoke last time she challenged me? When was that?

What are you talking about? When you challenged me at the gym. Okay, when I first met you. Yeah. It was a basketball beauties game. It was Entertainment League, right? I was, I think I was hurt. That's why I was on the sideline watching.

I think my knee, but anyway. Yeah, we like, we're just going shot for shot. After the game, I'm in normal clothes. But look, that's a whole different... Did you win? Hell no. You keep bringing that up. That was like 2016, Gil.

Almost a decade later. Almost a decade is crazy. Like, what does that even mean? It's been on his mind. Why you bringing up old shit? Yeah, what's wrong? That's all I had. That's all I had.

That's all I had. That's all I had in my bag. I will say, if girls and women come out and do the shootout, you will definitely have a humongous cheering section. Like, you just will. And even if it's because people are like, oh, girls, they don't have a chance. Like, they're still cheering, and it still makes you feel good.

And then eventually they start cheering for you for real. Wasn't there something going on with all women? There was another tournament at the same time we was having the shootout. Oh, it was my thing. Creator League with House of Highlights, it was an all-female one-on-one tournament. It was in Florida. That's why I couldn't come to the tryout and be there with you guys. Okay. I know something female This was so the Creator League is House of Highlights and they have one-on-one things

VBA three points You heard me eyes too. Did you like them? Yeah, I did I gave him away the yellow ones Oh, yeah, and she got the sweats on Yeah, my Duke sweats. Yeah, let's shoot the shit out that thing And that thing flat. Oh, yeah. I was like if you was you was I was counting. Yeah, I came in with the coffee. No warm-up shots. I'm like and I have been shoot. I shot Soros I wanted to okay. Just gotta think that I was not prepared. Well, she got there on time. She just strolled on it.

Strolled on it with her coffee and stuff. Kicked y'all ass. And first shot was just wet. And then, you know what she said? Y'all ain't start yet? Wait, what? I got there on time. She said, y'all ain't start yet?

Yeah, my tough crowd shirt on, my hair, my new hair, and my coffee. And y'all was like, ah, she's not ready. I was worried about the time of the rounds. Minute 40, though, for 25 shots in the first two rounds. But then once I did it, then I was like, oh, I'm good. But I kept asking the producer, like, okay, is anyone going to tell us the time? Is there going to be a shot clock? We already said that we had to put the timer up somewhere. we have a go fund me started uh to get sufficient timing devices for

you guys you know ask anthony anthony took all the bread you too and all the time and all the gold like yeah i gotta say when i first saw anthony shooting i like double take like no way and then it was just wet water water splash flash. I was like no way Yeah, I said that TNT clip circulated I was like who is this poor poor guy that they were making fun, and then I saw all his videos. I was like oh well Can't shoot confused by this clip there may be some looming beef, too, on the TNT side. I mean it. Definitely some responses. They responded? They responded?

Not on the show, but woken up out of my slumber by several human beings related to the company that we're calling Cap. Oh, they got to show up? No, they got,

gave me this, the new one, and I said, ooh, this one look better. Okay. It look better. I know. Well, I probably should have worn your original one. Trust me. I know. Should have worn it first. I know.

Welcome to another Spirited Day on Lexi's Arena, presented by Underdog Fantasy. The chat has been getting on me about saying Underdog Fantasy too much. So I'm going to try to curtail the amount of times I say Underdog Fantasy throughout the show. So I will say Underdog Fantasy less in shows now. But they need to do the over-under of how many times I say Underdog fantasy throughout the show so I will say underdog fantasy less in shows now But they need to do the over-under of how many times I say underdog fantasy Put it at point five make it a special promo so all y'all can win some bread cuz you know

It's at least 30 to 40 times And that's I'm just appreciative of their sponsorship and love and for them sponsoring the first-ever girl shootout presented by underdog fantasy No, I did not. But we got to get into some interesting topics, talk about one of the biggest stories this weekend, scary moment for Kaitlyn Clark after Ohio State upset Iowa in overtime in a Big Ten showdown. We've got the footage. So as Clark was exiting the floor,

she collided with an Ohio State fan who was storming the court to celebrate the win. Dog. There are several angles of the collision. She collided with an Ohio State fan who was storming the court to celebrate the win. Dog. There are several angles of the collision. Hard to tell if and when Clark saw the fan. Oof. We got them all. Zapruderfilm, back and to the left.

But it was a full-on collision. My gosh. Obviously, the internet detectives came with their own opinions, but after the game, Clark offered her perspective on what went down. I was just trying to exit the court as quickly as possible, so I started running, and I was absolutely just hammered by somebody trying to run onto the court and basically blindsided. And, you know, kind of scary.

Could have caused a pretty serious injury to me and knocked the win out of me. But luckily, my teammates kind of picked me up and got me off the court. So, and their AD already came and apologized to me. So, I really appreciate that. And, you know, this is what comes with the territory. I mean, I'm sure they tried their best to do whatever they could. Obviously, it didn't work and that's disappointing. But, you know, just focus now on the game and, you know, ways we can get better. So Clark had a 45 piece in the game, but I think I was 0-3 when she dropped more than 45 points. When she said they tried to do their best to do what?

To stop the storming of the court. Crowd control. So after the additional angle surfaced court. Crowd control. Oh. So after the additional angle surface- Stopping her. Oh, that's what I'm talking about. Stopping her. They sent ninjas out for you?

They failed at stopping her and the court storming. So after the additional angle surface, some accused Clark of flopping in the aftermath of that exchange. Oh, yeah. It definitely gave flop. But pointing out that she was the one who forearm checked the fan before falling to the ground, a hearty forearm check, if you will. But that is inconclusive based on the video evidence.

So, Lexi, we are in Lexi's arena right now. What's your reaction to the situation, and do you think Kaitlyn Clark flopped? Yeah, I've never seen that happen before. I mean, you saw the girl who ran into her had her phone up. Yeah, was not paying attention. Clearly didn't see. I cannot, you saw the girl who ran into her had her phone up. Yeah, was not paying attention. Clearly didn't see. I cannot imagine that that girl was running fast enough for that reaction. Are you saying that her 40 time would be on the upper echelon? Yeah, it wasn't giving fast. So I hate that that happened to her because especially when you lose a game

I can't imagine how I would have reacted if I just lost and then a fan runs me over but yeah it was definitely a little exaggerated some extras put on it if she was smart she would have just stayed on the ground my neck my back

my neck and my back I need a million does she want to press charges like what is what is this? What are we doing? Apology was enough from the ad Sufficient. Okay, can you what's your reaction to situation? And do you think that Kaylin Clark sold the call a little bit? Hell? Yeah But the world is just like the words that she chose to use in a press conference like I was absolutely hammered like Yeah, like I was absolutely like she like he played middle linebacker for Wow Come over like though she wants to bleed her eyes Right really at this point. I you only be your words

Or what we just like what we seen what happened in the fact that people can slow it down Mm-hmm. Come on. It looks crazy Really real time it look bad. Mm-hmm. Cool. But, no. Back and to the left, back and to the left. Lucky for her, her being an athlete is what kind of saved her. Because she's looking, and then she's seeing it right at the end, and then that's when she chucked. Yeah.

But the fan felt harder than she did. She hit it, boom. She was like, ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. She didn't know which arm to grab. Ah.

Ah. The fan didn't even drop the phone. The fan got right up and kept recording. She was like, ah. You know what? You know what we need to see? Thank you. That video.

Thank you. I would love to see that angle. The fan's angle. That fan angle. See how rolling? The FBI is a suspect. My shoe. Fan, please.

Watch that video. Have any of y'all ever been in a situation like this and how scary is it to see a horde of fans from an opposing team storming the court? I've never been a part of the court. Do y'all know, have you been in at least one situation like this? Ours was a riot. So it was really no fans running on as other players. What happened? This was the us against the Trail Blazers.

Okay. When the fight broke out because Rasheed Wallace hit a turnaround jumper. But that was just plays. In college you never had fans storm the court? Like say when you came to Los Angeles. After we beat y'all? No, did not win. You had to beat us?

32 in the second half. But you didn't win that game. Oh, I won. That's the difference. You got a pass, LA pass, 32 piece. I'm pretty sure I was on the courts when fans stormed it. Well, how do you get out? Because when I see this court storming,

I immediately think of the players. How do you get out of that? Easy walk. You walk, right? Yeah, I think she went wrong trying to also run. She shouldn't have also started running. I think she was probably just trying to get out the court, thinking that...

I think sometimes we think that the other crowd wants to cheer with us. Yeah, I know. They are not worried about you. Clearly, no one gave a fuck about your 45. No one cared. Nothing about it. It's like no one came up to her and just,

hey, take a picture. Watch out. Woo! Can you ever have a situation like this No one cared nothing about it's like no one came up to her and just hey take a picture. It's like watch out Can you ever had a situation like this where fans storm the court and uh, is it open season on fans when they do that? Yeah, I think we all share that same Yeah, that shit was rowdy a small gym too Yeah, they beat us you know there was only place that we lost were on the road that we were ranked high and them college students they hated our guts so yeah they ran out there and they

was throwing shit and doing yeah it was bad and they was right and the ball rack was right by we was walking to our locker room oh yeah we cleared the ball right on this close lining their ass up yeah they're lining them up yeah absolutely absolute with basketballs they were close to close range you know we was absolutely we know the way we was built so you know yeah it was eight. So the next we went back for Nessie and they moved the student section everything They moved to they side of the court where they taught awards and all that. Yeah. Yeah Absolutely. It was yeah, it was it was like that Like you ever been a situation like that would you have trucked that fan if you were in Caitlin Clark's

Position I mean probably Would you have trucked that fan if you were in Kaitlyn Clark's position? I mean, probably. But I would assume that, like, which is why I think it was flopping, because if you hit somebody, like, your momentum is not that way, not this way. Yeah. And I probably would have been like, oh, my God, are you okay? Like, I don't know. I can't speak in a situation like that because I've never been in one.

But if, like, I knock someone over I'm probably gonna Know I'm gonna line you up Speed up catch up speed You can rush the court if you want to but you got to be prepared and like Floyd Mayweather always says protect yourself At all times as a fan like if I I see you moving out of your way, walking here, escorting you out, Mr. Martin, please. We lost at UNC one of my seasons and they didn't even storm the court. The fucked up part is when they know they're about to storm the court and then the coach takes all the good players out and they go to the locker room.

He makes the other crew have to stay under and fend for themselves. Not because I haven't been in that situation before. So let's keep this thing moving. Time for some hibachi time. Lexi time. No. What was the call? Do we have?

No, we don't. What is the alternative? You don't even have a slogan. No, I don't. We'll come up with one. I'm going to beat him again. I'm going to beat him again in the next shootout. Shooter with no slogan. What kind of shooter is that?

At some point. A better shooter than you. Tell him, shooter, shoot. Shooter, shoot. So we got to talk about... What? Hey! Shit, I should have got in it.

You got 12, man. From the middies? Yeah, K, you would have got out of the midis for sure. I definitely could have made it. Hell yeah, 17, I would have knocked them right down. So used to dribbling and shoot. You could have did it. You had enough time to do all that. I should have just dribbled.

And then you get your rhythm. I didn't think so. Then you ain't got to. I was doing that on a three, dribble. I didn't think about that on a middie. So you look, yeah. Excuses, excuses. So 18th anniversary of Kobe's 81 point game on Monday.

And Embiid celebrated the occasion with a legendary bucket getting performance of his own. Roll the tape. Send a video. Embiid dropped a career high in Sixers record 70 points on Wimby and the Spurs. 34 points in the first half. 36 in the second half. 24 for 41 in the game. 14th 70-point game in NBA history,

first since Dame dropped one a little under a year ago. So Embiid is now the third player in NBA history to have a 70-15 game. 70 points and over 15 rebounds. Joining Elgin, Baylor, and Wilt. Embiid also the fastest to drop 70, doing it in 37 minutes, lightweight, as the kids say. Who's number 23? Collins. Oh, no, he got abused.

You know, come get this work. I can't get jiggy with this shit. Embiid is now averaging 50.6 points per 48 minutes, which puts him on pace to be the first player in NBA history to average over 50 per 48 minutes. Wilt only averaged 49.8 points per 48 in his 50-point-per-game season. He was playing whole game and overtimes, which I think is another, like,

man wasn't coming off the game for nothing and going to the club afterwards and turning up. Lord. Give him the crown. So players around the league witnessed Embiid's electrifying performance. I had to pay their respects, including LeBron, who was watching the game. Said 70-piece nugget, Joel Embiid, crazy.

So Kevin Durant was busy dropping a 40-piece of his own on the Bulls, but also showed some love after his game. I don't know if you saw, Joel Embiid scored 70, Cat had 60. 70? Yeah, Joel had 70 today. 15-23. Yeah, 70. So what a nice like tonight shit

Katie feel good about himself. Yeah, I got my friends. I know I gotta be why they don't finna be the talk of the night For me in the go debate Come on. We got 70 So after the game and be reflected on his career night while showing love to both Kobe and Wimby after the rookie said Embiid's dominance was inspiring. Even though I started playing late, you know, from the time I started playing, Kobe was my guy. He's the reason why I started playing basketball. And it's funny because on the same night, he had 81 and, you know, that was my favorite player.

So, you know, when I started, that was the guys that I was looking, you know, I was looking up to and, you know, that were doing all this. So, you know, if he says he's inspiring, I hope, you know, in a couple of years, hopefully when I don't have to guard him and I'm out of the league

he's able to do the same thing and you know go out and break all his record and possibly break Wilkes record of 100 points so we're going to talk about Embiid saying that he thinks Wimby could possibly break Wilkes record of 100 points but let's talk about Embiid right now is Embiid the most dominant player in the world at this very moment? Yes. Easy? Easy. Just give him the MVP right now.

Just give it to him. I don't care if he don't play 65 games. I really don't. He can chill right now. Just give it to him. Go ahead and rest, big dog. I hate that rule. They need to take it out.

But shit. It would be a shame if this man played 54 games. See, now you got to make a fucking decision now. Right? This man lead the league, average what he... Because it's only going up. His point average is only going up from here. Just say if you don't play the game, then what the fuck the league does? Do you stand on it?

They gonna stand on it and then change the rule next year? Yes, and you fucking mic this in. They gonna stand on it? It's horrible. Get a lot of bad press about it? Absolutely. Then change it. So you thinking B would take one foot a league, essentially.

No, I mean he's still- For them to change the rule back. No, no, no. But he can only miss what, eight more games, something like that? I think it was nine. He can only miss nine more games. So it's not like he's still far away. It's just hopefully nothing happens to him to the point where it's forced misses.

I mean, I think, let's say he's eight, ten games away and never want to wish it on anybody, but something does happen. Just get your ass out there, check in, wave to the fans, come sit on the bench, game counted. We'll circumvent, get like you love to do. We'll circumvent whatever. We'll find a loophole in this shit, but there's no way you can watch what he's doing right now

and not say that he's the favorite to win the MVP. Nah, I mean, shit, he's been the favorite for the last damn shit, two months. He's been playing like it. Unstoppable. And, you know, that... What we were saying last year, that he has more in his tank. And if he played like Giannis and had Giannis in an engine, what would it look like? There we go.

So if Bede has missed 10 games this season, he can only, if he misses eight more, it will fall below the minimum required. So he can only miss seven. Yeah, he can only miss seven to hit that 65-game threshold to be eligible for the postseason award. So they're going to... There's no way. Yeah.

That man. So he's missed 10 games because of whatever, injury, illness, whatever, right? He hasn't played in like 14 fourth quarters or some shit. It's like double-digit fourth quarters he hasn't played in. That's insane. If you're Embiid, though, are you like I just let me cook for last night I would have went to Nick nurse last night to start the fourth quarter. I know we got a rotation But let me start the fourth. Yeah, he would had 80 easily though

And that's this easily because there was no resistance out there Yeah at all when we was trying to do his to get his thing because he got two fouls early. Now I can't really play the way I need to play him. Zach Collins was no fucking resistance whatsoever. I'm starting the fourth quarter from him. Yeah, he finished, what, he had 58, right? He had 58 after the third. Oh, no, I'm starting. Because this is a different night.

Absolutely. This is not normal. You would have been playing all 12 minutes just in case. Yeah. Because you can't duplicate this performance. This only comes around once or twice in your career. And when it comes, capitalize on it. You shouldn't have to put him back in and get 70.

Yeah, you shouldn't have to. He should have already been. He should have already been. back in and get 70 Yeah, you shouldn't have to like he should already should already be like Easily there was no resistance out there because the shots that he missed Was tips he just missed the muffler. Yeah, right And Nick nurse loves playing dudes anyway It was in hindsight if you wish you'd look back at that's those are the nights you that's when you stuck in you. That's when you stuck as a coach. Yeah Right. You don't want to deviate from nothing. I got this well, it's this gonna win but stick like you got a new night Like Gil was saying like them special. I'm guys got it going in a quarter Yeah, I know you're supposed to come out at the five-minute mark.

No. No. I wish you would. I wish you would. Like if I'm on the staff, if I'm on the team, especially if I'm on the team, I'm going to go up there and tell Joey, or I'm going to tell whoever the coach is now,

leave him in. We'll take him out in a minute. Yeah. Like sometimes you got to help people him out in a minute. Like, you gotta, sometimes you gotta help people get out their own way. Yeah. You gotta help them. In this situation, it was one of them,

because he got it going. Easy. So, you're usually on the MB side of things, doing the bucket getting, but when you see a teammate cooking like that, you going out of your way to make sure you keep feeding them so they can Get as many points as possible. It's not to the detriment. I'll fuck it. That's not this you don't care about winter long No, no, no, they was gonna there's gonna fucking spur. Yeah, then I'm just in the bigger scale

There's plenty and then we talk about this particular game here I'm watching it and there's a few shots that dudes took in a few situations that I'm watching it, and there's a few shots that dudes took in a few situations that I'm cussing. Or you can hear fans booing, too, at certain points. At the end of the goal, yeah. No, who took the three? Yeah. Like, man, what are you doing? Yeah.

But during the third quarter, when he got it going, I'm watching the field. I ain't going to call him because I'm, dude, are you serious? Dude, if you don't slow your ass down and throw this boy the ball, man, that's when you ain't in tune to what's going on out here. You worried about your fucking self. Yeah. No.

And you ain't got nobody like me on the team, because I'm going to say something to you. Dude, are you serious with that shot, dog? Do you not... Do you not see what's going on here? I'm going to ask you. You don't see this? You don't see what the fuck you got? Yeah, please look up on the scoreboard, man.

I wish you would. How often are you guys checking stat sheets in the game? Like, how cognizant of you are of your stats while you're playing the game? For the most part when you're rolling you're not really you're not paying attention, but your teammates are Everyone else you know you cooking. Yeah, you don't know what you got cuz you ain't looking up there You know, I got this shit feel good Feel good right now. I'm are y'all not keeping stats in your head though? Or did it just get.

Nah. That's tough at that point. You act like you can. No. It's very hard to do that. You know you got seven. Some guys like rebound. Yeah you counting.

Like rebound. Like some guys keeping track of their. Like rebounds are more easier to keep track of. Like so I heard. I keep track of threes. I'll keep track of threes. Makes misses like you know. Yeah. And it's like if I make two threes I can shoot two more. Exactly. Yeah. Like sorry, no, I know some guys I'll keep track of makes misses like, you know, yeah

It is like if I make two threes I can shoot two more Exactly Yeah, like fine if I hit a few I'm like, all right, this next one going up for sure But like I missed them too. No, I'm still gonna shoot up I'm like this one's going up for sure if you miss them to like I gotta make two more to get the 50 Yeah, like I'd like yeah, I would love to stay over 50% but like sometimes okay I missed one or two. Let me go try and get fouled or let me go do something else Then he had 40 shots. It was supposed to be more than that. He had more How if he took like 20 some free throws yeah, and a lot of them misses was tips

Like I'm like I'm watching the shit. He just tipping just tipping the bitch, and he's not going in. He's tipping it and tipping it and tipping it. Yeah. Okay, you take away the free throws. He still had 50. A lot of them offensive rebounds. A lot of them rebounds. A lot of them 18 rebounds was offensive. Yeah, we talked about this before.

Even Embiid shooting 23 free throws, making 21 out of 23, impressive. A lot of guys at that size wouldn't be able to shoot like that. It might have cost themselves a 70-point game finish somewhere in the 60 range still impressive nonetheless But his ability to be a knockdown free throw shooter, I think just adds to that cuz you can't follow him Yeah, and then that's why when they said that he's comparable to Shaq like no because you can't Scheme for him like you scheme for Shaq as far as like just hack Shaq cuz and B's gonna knock those free throws down So where does it be performance ranked amongst the best that you've seen? For him, like, you scheme for Shaq as far as, like, just hack Shaq, because Embiid's going to knock those free throws down.

So where does Embiid's performance rank amongst the best that you've seen? Like, on TV? Or just during your life? Oh, no, I was watching the Kobe game, because we was playing Toronto the next night. So I'm scouting, doing homework. Like, I'm watching Toronto, like, shit, we play the motherfucker. I'm, oh shit. Yeah, yeah.

It's that moment, man, you realizing. I was there when Melo scored 33 in the quarter. I was there when he scored 60 in the guard. And seen a few good ones. Okay. Like Steph had 54 in the guard and I was on the Knick team then. Yeah, that shit was impressive. So, yeah, I didn't stand a chance. But even though you're on the opposing team, are you just, as a fan of the game, to see

a guy cooking like that? Are you mad in those moments or are you like, damn? It was only once I was opposed there when Steph was cooking. No shit, no nothing you can do. I was witnessing this shit like talking people on the bench like God day So good where does it meet in performance rank amongst the best you say okay Kobe 81 Booker 70 on the Celtics back in the day cuz those are jump shots. I will put clay Mm-hmm. I'll put clay in front of Embiid. 11 dribbles? Yeah, because it's buckets.

It's just pure bucket getting. That's impressive. And then probably... And the amount of minutes he played, too. Even the 70-something in 37 minutes, that's fucking... It's almost frustrating because it's like, damn, it could have been 80 in 44 minutes. Like y'all said, impressive

to be able to do it in 37 minutes. Who do you think can break the 81? Who will be the player to do it? In this NBA? That's what I'm saying. It could be a few players, I think. Probably him.

Do we think we'll see somebody break that 81 point in our lifetime Shit this season it's true. I mean the amount of scoring that's going on. It feels like it's trending that way now We've had three 370 point scores in the last 13 months you see the guard and the guards is harder because you're spending more energy pushing down the court, driving and all that. So, you know, the easiest without energy is probably Embiid. Right.

You know, because he can shoot the three also. But he only, it was one for two. I know, but that's what I'm saying. But because he can shoot it, you know. Which is crazy. Yo, it was one for two. Yeah, so. So what, his lack of three-point shooting, he makes up for on the free throw line. I feel

Like feel like he plays a few more minutes No, he could have had it. That's what I'm second. That's five six more free throws that it was the way cat was shooting Threes last night. I thought that he was he was gonna be closer than that was cat. That's that's coaches fault right there 44 in the first half I thought he was gonna be at a we're gonna talk about in a second But I'm just like let's see that come through so he had 58 in in the end of the third But you know Different result. Let's talk a little bit. Can you were watching that game? This is about Wimby

Impressive performance for him as well 33 and 7 obviously gets lost in the mb sauce of the 70 piece spurs only lost that game by 10 points you know so even despite you know mb dropping the 70 still a close enough game winby 10 for 19 from the field 11 from 12 from the free throw line his fourth 30 point game this season how impressive was thatimby 33 piece on the Sixers? I was impressed with him. Physically, I knew he was going to struggle on the other end because he just been watching him be punished the NBA

night in, night out. I knew that was going to be a... I didn't know it was going to be 70-worthy, but I knew it was going to be an easy three-quarters, whatever it was. Yeah, for sure. Nah, he made some plays man i was like got a great feel for the game seeing that he's had more games under his belt now i didn't want to judge him from the summer league or the first month of the season like everybody

else was doing he made one play like yo and be like he was playing great D couldn't go nowhere left hand like hook half hook from outside the paint and just basically dropped the bitch in like went around and beat on him just dropped the bitch in I was like yo man like there's no defense for that like and he really like he thinks he's a guard at the time like he's they taking the ball out of bounds he's asking for the outlet like he thinks he's a guard at times. Like, he's, they're taking the ball out of bounds, and he's asking for the outlet. Like, he's in the backcourt trying to bring that bitch up. And they're looking at him like, no, come on, man. Still don't feel like he has the personnel in that squad

to give him the rock enough, because that 33 could have easily been a 40, even with the foul throw. I'm just saying, like, he's still getting licked off at times. Yeah, they were making shots last night. They played well. They were making shots. They made plays. Philly defense at times was, yeah he's still getting licked off at times. Yeah, they were making shots last night. They played well. They were making shots. They made plays. Philly defense at times was, yeah, they was getting a lot of open

looks, but... I felt there's time he's come to the basket, like throw it up and do... Yeah, of course. Nah, we good, we good big fella. Yeah, KJ had a chance to boomstick his ass and didn't realize how tall he was. He didn't realize how high he jumped. I was like, yeah, you should have boomsticked his ass. Absolutely. He was right in there. He had a couple nice lobs last night. So Embiid said he thinks Wimby could be the one to break Wilt's record. Said it in the video. Don't know if it was trolling, like when he said Joker is the best player in the world right now. But facts are capped. Do we think that Wimby, a little bit down the road, a little bit bigger, just with his ability to score at all three levels,

shoot a high percentage from the free throw line, could get close to breaking that world record? If he gets teammates that give him the ball more, you have to get shot at times. A hundred points is a lot of points that's a lot of points a lot of gonna be a lot of that's a lot of easy I mean because seven sixes it should be easier for him because he just they can just they can just throw the ball up bottom just go just get to the rim I'm

just throw it up you just grab it and do that just grab it they can 50 do you know kind of like how will did it when he when he broke it? You know just you know tall He's watch out watch out watch out just pass Where's the video it was the fun is they got every fucking clip of wilt doing whatever he wanted in like jump in women Pages I'm at a club. Hey just not that video. They got will to him. Okay funeral they got Except drop on her like nobody just drew a picture of it. That's the funny part. That's the funny They got every video will but that I mean they might have stayed they might have stole that video. That's all

Did you know how much that'd be that that'd be worth a lot. But what you gonna do with it? Well, those people just holding on to it. Yeah, he'd have to score 30 free throws. I don't think anybody... But that's what I'm saying. The threes seems like if he can get hot a couple years down the road once he masters playing

in the league, if he can get hot, hit 7- 10 threes. It'd be one of those games where he's having a great night and the other team is playing great and they go into, like, an overtime, a double overtime, some shit like that. His team would probably have to sell a little bit just to get that thing to OT to keep stretching it. One of those, you got, like, 90, and then it's about you got the game winning,

you just miss it on purpose so you can get the extra 10 in the overtime overtime double the time. Yes, sir. Have you ever done that you know You tell the truth on Lexi's Lexi's arena. Now you can tell the truth Let me just miss this where we can keep this game because I get five more minutes now that wasn't the game winner, okay For sure. So we talked about Wimby. or we talked about Embiid while he was getting busy, leading the Sixers to a win. Carl Anthony Towns was putting on a show as well in Minnesota. Cat dropped 44 points in the first half against the Hornets, including eight threes.

Absolutely dominating first half performance. But as you look at the score with all the shots he's hitting, a little too close for comfort. That's the one part, watching every highlight, it's like, wait a minute. Okay, now Vander up 11 here, but slowly starting to dwindle down. Cat finished with a franchise record 62 points. Only problem is the Wolves lost the game. Cat sat for part of the fourth quarter. They came back and you think that was a foul?

They're not getting that call. All Cat's got. Had a chance to tie the game at the end. Very interesting play call. So Cat missed two crucial shots late in the fourth quarter. Appeared to get fouled on that one. Y'all thought it was a foul? Yes.

Yeah, he got his whole arm torn off. Yeah, and I know people don't really mess with Cat like that, but if you have a game like that, you get that call no matter what. So that was crazy that they didn't call that foul for him. So after the game Wolves head coach Chris Finch went at Cat and the entire team for tricking off what should have been an easy win. It was an absolute disgusting performance of defense and immature basketball all the way through the game. So it really didn't slip away.

It had been there from the jump. So this is what happens when you have this type of approach. Like I said, there's a lot of ways to be immature. There's always a lot of ways to be immature. And there was a lot of immature performances here throughout the roster. We totally disrespected the game ourselves. And we got exactly what we deserved. Chris, did you also see, did it turn into Carl trying to hunt a big number?

Absolutely. Yeah, but for a while it was going, but down the stretch it kind of dried up for us. So what do you think about Kat's performance and Finch's comments after the game? I wonder if he would have said the same things if they had won that game. Because like you said, the game was close the whole time. Yeah. So I didn't start watching until maybe the middle of the third. And then I kind of saw cat kind of hunting

For that 70 ball I don't know if he was on one to check his phone at halftime and someone told him or he really didn't know but like You could tell that he's like I gotta get I Got to get 70 For sure wasn't they up? Yeah, it was up a lot The 15-point is coach gonna take responsibility for not having him in at all Yep. Yeah. They was up a lot. Mm-hmm. Is that 15 points? Is Coach going to take responsibility for not having him in at all? You know, I mean, was his play calling immature too?

Was his sub immature too? Because there was a point in the game where when you took him out, y'all was up. When you put him back in, it was 76-71 by the time he got back in the game. So y'all was already down five when you put him back in. You know, so just... Coach got to look in the mirror, too? He had to take responsibility because even though they can't play defense,

y'all not playing defense, the other team ain't playing defense either if he got fucking 58 already. So, hypothetical world, and has that same exact performance, same exact performance, you think Finch is going to make comments like that calling Ann out?

Yeah, I, shit, absolutely. Hmm? Yeah. You think so? Yeah, I don't see nothing different. But let me tell you, so somebody probably said something to Coach that he out here hunting, trying to do what Embiid just did.

Somebody probably got wind to him. That's why he said it. And has he ever been subbed in and out offense, defense like that? Is that like a normal strategy they use? Who is he guarding? His man didn't have no points. That's what I'm saying. I mean, at the end of the game, he was coming out for defense

and getting subbed back in on offense. It was odd. That's what I'm saying. The three top scorers is all guards and wings. Right. And man's still playing. He wasn't playing very well. You know, he in the game too.

So, you know, if you send me a guy out because he in the game too, so, you know. If you send me a guy out because he's hunting for points. I mean, I don't know what question they asked, but because the cat graphic was next to him, we're assuming that he was talking about cat. Maybe he wasn't even talking about cat. He was straight up talking about cat? He hasn't.

Yeah, they said. He called him by my name again. I mean, in that second part. He called him by my name. Called him by my name. But that first one, that question was about cat? That. Yeah, they said he called my name But the first one that was that question was about cat that first I know it was kitty cat Boy of the game, but even as you guys as players when you're in the middle of a game Do you get information about other stuff that's going on? Does that kind of hit the bench? Obviously the different time in the social media area, but you know. You need a teammate. Come on, man. You got a teammate. Somebody at the end like,

yo, you know, you're like, B dropped 70. Somebody on the scores table. Yeah, the shit, you got a ticker too. Ticker. Yeah.

But somebody at the scores table. They like scores. Then says something to somebody and they, trust me, it's. But you got 50, you have 58 and three quarters. The fans sitting right here.

Well, sometimes they make the announcement on the. And B had 70. Yeah. On the jumbo. You got to say you have 58 and three quarters. The fans sitting right here. Well, sometimes they make the announcement on the... And B had 70. On the jumbo. You have 58 and three quarters. What was he... You thought he was going to go into the fourth quarter... And two.

And not go for 12 more points? Like, what the fuck is wrong with you? 22, 22, 14. Motherfucker, I'm going for 12. I don't need to know what's going on around the NBA world. I'm trying to get this. I'm within range of 70. You're in the range of 70 already, right?

I mean, at this point, you're guaranteed 60. I'm in the range of 70, right? I need 12 more points to get 70. I'm going for 70. I don't give a fuck what you talking about over there Only way I don't get is you send me out which he did absolutely and if you're cat in that moment Are you a little salty a little? Oh, yeah, I'm a fucking my little you might get fired Yeah, a little salty be a agent in the news crew

I've never seen a coach sabotage a player's career not like that Yeah He can say whatever he won't he might be he might say immature because when he was subbing cat out cat probably was getting mad Yeah, that's probably the immature part of it that he was getting subbed out and he's getting mad and it's like yo And we're playing a Charlotte on. Yeah We look like and we lose we lose it cuz you know and you lost like, yo. And we playing the Charlotte Hornets. Yeah. And we losing because you're selling me out. You're selling me out. And you lost. We lost to the Charlotte Hornets. Lost to the Charlotte Hornets. At home.

At home. Oh, you being selfish. Bitch, yes. Yes, I'm being selfish. I got 58 motherfucking points. Yes, I'm being selfish. 44 and a half. When I scored 60 and, you know, I came back at the end and it was like, hey, yo, I just scored 60 on Kobe.

Coach was like, and we won. Yeah, fuck that. I just scored 60 on Kobe. I don't give a fuck what you're talking about. Bring it in. One, two, three. 60. 60.

Ain't no wisdom, goddamn it. What you talking about? It's 60. It's literally 60izzes, goddamn. What you talking about? This, this, that's sexy. Oh, shit. And it's crazy because once MB did his 70, and then, like, all of Twitter quickly pivoted to Cat. Everyone pivoted, yeah.

And then I was like, girl. Because it was like in B's third quarter, and B's got 58 in the third. But then it was like, Cat got 44 at halftime. Ooh, yeah, that's what I said. And he finished with 58 in the third, too. So was like, cat got 44 at halftime. Ooh. Yeah, that's what I said. And he finished with 58 in the third too. So I'm like, oh shit.

This is about to be so... Woo. Hater. So this is the 21st time a player scored 60 or more points in a losing effort. Unsurprisingly,

Wilt did it 10 times in his career. He was 22 and 10 in games where he scored 60 or more points. That's a good-ass record, though. Wilt also, I think, has the record

for most points in a loss. He had 78 in a triple overtime loss to the Lakers back in 1961. Jeez. So have you guys ever been in the game where you or someone you know was stat-chasing to the detriment of the team? No. Have you ever been in that situation? Yep.

Was it you? Is he in the room right now? Was it you? Never, but- We won every game. I done cooked. 60 win, 54 win, 51. We won, sir.

Okay. Have you ever had- Lexi, can you handle your host? Don't listen to him. Lexi, you're a freedom. You can't. We will. Me and Joe like this.

Can you handle him? Even when I'm over there, I'm like, I'm not going to listen to him. I'm going to listen to him. I'm going to listen handle you? Your host don't listen to him Have you ever had a 47-point game that ended in a loss I mean I had a lot of 40 so probably that's not I Wasn't hunting that was just a game You know little 47 piece now, but you give you the most points you scored in a loss 47 the Heat December 30th 2015 or 2005. Well that was against Gary Payton. Oh yeah, I was busting his ass. You remember that one?

So after that game, how do you feel? Yeah, December 30th 2005. That's a good day. Yeah, you know, Kanye's birthday. And you had 29 points four times and lost. That was your most. Damn. You know, but cooking, I blame your team. Lex, you remember the most you had in the game. He googled it, so be careful. That we lost? Yeah. No.

Good, we don't either. Yeah. We scored. Lex's arena, we don't. We scored seven, one year younger. Sounds about right. Lex's arena we don't you score seven one year This is like all my career highs in the W. Oh, no, no, I don't remember I remember we played here once in LA when I was on the links and we were like down like 30 or something I wasn't I hadn't really played and our coach was like over the starters and she was like Bench do whatever you do whatever you want. So I just started jacking threes. We lost by like eight or something. We came back.

How much did you have? I don't know. I think I had like five threes or something. I was just. This is Lexi's arena, so we only focus on the positive when it comes to our namesake, Lexi Brown. Never lost a game. Never lost you in my life. Never lost to anyone in the couch in a shooting competition.

I know what I haven't ever lost to you in shooting. Agent 12. March is... We might have another shootout. We might have another shootout next week. You're really going to lose because March, I would have been in my season playing. So, I'm really going to be locked in. Like, you don't have a chance in

March and that's right before training camp to I'm putting my money on Lexi and Lexi my money on Lexi presented by underdog fantasy We made right after this we go see what that money yet You know what everybody at home should do you gotta give nobody care about the little dog for you got on your feet by Underdog Fantasy.

We can play musical chairs. We can play musical chairs. You can't cancel us like you think. It's a different show now. It's a whole different show. He said that on Gil's Arena.

That doesn't exist anymore. We are in Kenya's Arena now. We have a clean slate. Clean slate. Can you imagine Rashad's Arena? He ain't even going to call it Rashad's Arena. He need to drop the air of McCann'sann's man I'm trying to support the movement but we got one more high scoring performance we're gonna talk about uh Kevin Durant praised him B for a 70 piece uh but KD deserves some

praise of his own for what he did to the Bulls on Monday night easy money sniper said y'all gonna acknowledge me in this go combo whether you like it or not. Gave the Bulls 43 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists. Give it to you, Caruso, you do not want that work. I hate it had to be you. Final moments of the game, tied at 113. Legendary game winner. Over two defenders, including last year all defensive defensive selection Alex Caruso, former Laker

So KD second straight 40 piece fourth of this season Is KD the most skilled big man offensively in NBA history? He's 6'11 so we got it. We got it. Call it what happened Skilled big man. The most skilled. Who have we seen at 6'11 previous?

Wimby could come for that crown, but... I hate the word skilled. Because it's being used. It's being used for the wrong reasons. It's not being used to determine nothing. It's used, oh, this is the most skilled person ever. Duh. Is that a duh for KJ?

Duh. I mean, evolution says that. These are the fastest cars in history. Duh. Duh. Yeah, they're not going to ever be less skilled than the past. There could come a point. These are the best skilled dunkers ever.

Duh. There could come a point though. There's going to be a point where the dunk contest is going to look like, what, 1980? A regular windmill wins it. Like, no, man. Judgment Day, Guild Terminator 2. I just hate that people are using the word skill to define that this person's better than... I'm just saying his bag is too boxed for somebody that size.

Have we seen anything like that? For right now, yes. But, you know, we can see Winby. We can see what 7'6 looks like with the same bag. Are we going to eventually say Winby is the most skilled big man ever? Do you think so? Skill-wise, yeah. He has more skills than the previous dinosaur-ish type of five-man.

So he'll be better than an 80s basketball player. Yeah, I'm like, you know, at some point, Shaquille O'Neal was the most skilled because he can dribble the ball up and do all these spins and stuff. And, you know, eventually it just keeps... It's a while, though, to see that evolution just out, you know eventually it just keeps is a while though to see that evolution just out you know through the course of your life huh it is a while to see the evolution that the game is taking where guys 611 like KD no I mean it's crazy but you know they're looking at their fit like

Joel Embiid said my favorite player was Kobe yeah right I mean you know so he's gonna practice guard shit and then so on and so on and so on. So yes, the game is going to move and evolution says more skill, different skills is going to be added to the game, but that doesn't make the players better. Oh, I'm not- Like the dunk contest- I'm not saying they're better. They're not better. They have better dunks than previous years, but they're not considered better dunkers. They don't jump higher like their verts is not higher

like 48 Michael Jordan the closest to that is 46 Which is Zach Levine. That's it. So all the 40s and 42s and 44 There's they still don't have a higher vert than Michael Jordan. But if they're acrobatic and do something- I know, because that's evolution. They get to see, oh, you did a windmill? Ooh, let me try between the legs. Okay, sure, let me try between the legs behind the back.

Well, let me try... There's going to be somebody in history in a dunk contest that's going to go between the legs twice. This is going to happen. Right? Between the legs twice? I'm pretty sure he's not going to have a 48 inch vertical. He's going to have 40, 44. But he's just going to stretch his ability more than everybody else did.

Mack McClung, you were on the clock, my boy. Nah, he's too small. He's going to be somebody with long arms. They got to have the long. So when you just look at KD, Lexi, and you guys weren't here yesterday, he said, you know, he asked why isn't he in the GOAT conversation. We'll address that one first. Do you think he has a case to be made?

And Gil, I know obviously you think top- I'm out. So I'm asking. What did you say? This side of the- I just said that, you know, to be in the actual debate it has you have to be top two by three you're in third place that's not unless you're still playing right unless you're still playing and yeah you can you know get

into the top two but you know if the race is just two people like and you're in third and fourth place you're not actually about the win. Mm-hmm. Right, so. You know how you finished fourth, right? You wasn't in the finals, right? Anyway. You cannot be in the debates of top three anymore. Right? So you can't be in the top three anymore.

You can't be in the debate of- I can't be in the debate of all. Top 17, whatever the- So that's how I look at it. If you have them three, then yes, he's still in the debate. But the problem with that is the person that's in two is still playing two. So it's one of those things that's like wherever you have yourself, if you're not top two, then you're technically not in debate.

If you're third, then yes, you're in the debate because you're still playing. So you're saying it's MJ, Braun, Kitty. That's your goat? No. I have Kobe third. So if he thinks he's in front of Kobe, then yes, he was still technically being in debate. Okay. Kanye, where do you stand on this whole situation?

When I saw it, I was... No, we all know the way KD feels about his basketball ability. Mm-hmm. Like, there's no secret. And he should feel that way. Absolutely. Bad man. He's a bad man at the game of basketball,

and we haven't seen anything like it Aside of Points per game like well All time scoring He looks at himself as equal to LeBron. Like, that's just what this is telling me from what I heard. And who's to tell him different?

Like, who am I to tell a man that he shouldn't feel that way or to critique him? For him to say that and to, yeah, that's, and there has been argument in certain barbershops and certain man caves that this is a thing. Like people argue this. And he has his fan base that tells him such and other people say other things.

So I don't... We had this debate about what way I think about it. So I just, I appreciate the greatness for what it is. And if he feels that way, he feels that way. I'm not the one to tell him anything different. Yeah, I feel like he's one of the only players that could say that about himself. He'll get the regular pushback,

but the real people know, yeah, he should feel that way about himself. Why wouldn't he feel that way? I think he is going to go down as one of the greatest scorers that we've ever seen. I've always said that his game is so, it's pure and it's simple, so it's not always going to get everybody's like oohs and aahs, but he gets to his spots well.

He knows his favorite spots on the floor, and then he makes crazy shots like that. Like, you pump fake in the air, and the ball doesn't even touch the net. Like, it's crazy So he does moments like that remind people is he is he more in a goat conversation of pure score? in NBA Like when you talk about just Pierce just flat-out scoring is

Well, he would it be easy for him to be in that debate versus overall? Oh, for sure. I think so. Yeah, I think so. But, and he's, I can only speculate in this, and he's looking at his duration while he's been, like, and he's not, MJ is MJ, right? We know he's on Mount Rushmore for everybody. That's just what it is. I don't think he's looking at MJ in this conversation.

No. At all. At all. So, I think that in his mind, it's a three-man race. So, and if that's the case, then yeah, you have to start incorporating him because of ... Michael Jordan, it is what it is at this point. You have to start incorporating him because of... We all... Michael Jordan, I just...

It is what it is at this point. That's what I said. Like, yeah. The door, he's not in the door everyone thinks he is. Not at all. There's another door behind that door. Yeah, yeah. It's just what it is.

It's where the president sits. Oh, yeah. It's the Oval Office, basically. MJ is in the Oval Office. He's the guy. We all know that. In everybody's debate. There's not one person

that can talk the game of basketball and have a conscious thought process and say that Michael Jordan is not one or two basketball player of all time. So you take him off the board either way. Whether you have him one or you have him two, you take him off the board either way. Because you're not going to put him third. You're not going to put him third.

You're not putting him at third no matter what. You're not putting him at third no matter what. Well, there's a lot of people on this planet, Gil, so you already know. Like I said, so the key for what I said, somebody with a cautious thought process, right? You're just not. But you'll hear shit like that in a barbershop sometime. And you get the get the fuck out of here response, right? So I could be minding my business.

I let people in my place talk basketball and sports all the time and not interject myself at all. And they ask me my opinion, I'd be like, I'm enjoying the conversation, dog. Do you be in those convos like, these niggas have no idea what they're talking about? Yeah, absolutely.

All the time. I want to get my line up pristine. All the time, bro. Let them have at it. Yeah. What's the wildest take you've heard in a barbershop? I have no idea. That's a great question,

Lex. I didn't... There'll be some, yeah. Yeah, there's some wild shit. You have to play it off and be like, yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah. Like, someone's arguing with me online, right? Because I said I have MJ one, LeBron two. Right? He thinks

I hate MJ, right? Because he has Kobe, then Right? He thinks I hate MJ. Right? Because he has Kobe, then Jordan. So when I have LeBron at two, because he has MJ at two on his side, he says, I'm disrespecting MJ. And I'm like, I have MJ one. But he's thinking about his list because he don't want to tell everybody he has Kobe one. Then I'm like, yo, just tell everybody what you have. So they think I'm stupid. Yes. That's the funny thing about online is you'll say your opinion. Someone will get mad at you about your opinion, but they won't share

theirs. They won't share theirs. No. Because your opinion is probably idiotic. Because one thing people don't... When people argue, I started to realize they do not... They argue against yours. Instead of saying, all right, okay, whatever stats, how about this? Do not look at no one else's name. So if you like LeBron, just talk about LeBron. Tell us everything why we should put LeBron one.

Do not talk about Kobe. Do not talk about Jordan. Just give us the resume on why we should pick your player. Jordan fans, tell us everything about Jordan. We don't want to hear about nobody else because what everyone else does is instead of defending their guy, they just talk about what they don't like about the other person. That's it.

Jordan got to say, you're four for ten. Okay. Oh, he game with us. He don't do this. He don't do that. He don't do like, motherfucker, just tell us everything you like about yours. Fuck talking about mine. Let me talk about why mine is better.

Right. And you talk about yours better. You talk about yours better and then that's how we supposed to debate versus you just trying to convince me why mine sucks the. Right. And you talk about why yours is better. You talk about yours better and then that's how we're supposed to debate versus you just trying to convince me why mine sucks the whole time. Exactly. And that's been the problem. That's been the problem with the debate.

People are so busy spending their time looking at everybody else's to tell us what's wrong with ours. No, fuck that. Tell us what's right with yours. We'll tell you what's right with ours. And then so on. on that's the only thing that matters. Yeah, that's all yeah That is a debate now. That's the debate that is a debate. Oh, yeah, we got fortune for finals But you went there ten times bitch. Shut up Don't tell me how many times I went there. That's not the point. The point is we won four times four

That's it. Okay, my guy has six. Hey, you guys Okay six, okay, we got four Have you scored titles 10? That's just just go like that. Where's the green check? Yeah. Where's the fucking green check next to you? You line them up.

Okay, check on this side. Okay, check, check, check, check. All you got to do. So simple. Better movies have to be included. So with debate in mind, who are your top three active players that you want to take a shot with the game on the line? Looking around the league right now, in a moment like Haiti was in last night, who are the top three players that you want to take a shot with the game on the line? Looking around the league right now,

in a moment like KD was in last night, who are the top three players that you want to take that shot with the game on the line? KD won for me. Dame. Dame. Wardell. Night, night.

You know all of them, Steph? I don't know how many of them is there? I don't know how many game winners he actually has. He don't got that many though. I'm going to go with Bron, since he owns the record. It's a good one. It's hard not to put him on the list. Yeah. It got to be the right situation.

Yeah. I know. That's why he's third. That's why I got him third. He might. Yeah, yeah,'s why I got him third. Yeah, you know. Because he might. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He got him third. Make sure that thing is going into the basket. Yeah, my- But you got Steph up there. That's my last name. Yeah, I just like the way he shoot that bitch at any given time, man. I'm, yeah, I'm, just because it ain't happening on me, it's not- Yeah, that's, that's just-

Yeah, it's- I mean, Steph's some game winners But his put you to bed to be before and at the buzzer his shit Is that real some real dagger that don't give you a chance? Yeah, right? Just the dagger It's the dagger at four minutes like you you on the run and you think you got something going on And he come down here three in a row, and you're like, God damn. Those are the ones I'm like, that's why I'm like with him. He putting you to bed as well.

See, his resume of game winners is not big because when he was supposed to get that confidence as a shooter to hit those, he was sitting on the bench. So Steph Knight. He was resting. Like them years that he was building his confidence to do... He was resting.

The fucker was blowing everybody out, so he never really had a chance to hit those type of shots because he was... Steph hit some game winners in his time, too. How many he got, what? Less than 10. That's fine.

It was not as, like, November. We're waiting for the updated number right now. You know, Lex is a real... I'm with it. We spent all night getting decorations up, had to make sure the bow tie was appropriately placed not to hit my microphone, so... I had to high and lower.

You was going to take that off after five minutes. I thought it was... It's still cutting my circulation off. Yeah, I thought it was going to cut your circulation off and you was going to be done. You know, some of us are into things like that, so we just got to keep it running. So yesterday we talked about dogs, and we have a Mostly Fans question on the subject. Ruff ruffs. What's going on, fellas?

And Lexi, congratulations to you on winning the shootout within the arena. Two questions. One, what are the qualifications for someone to be considered a dog? I feel like it is the most overused and useless word in the basketball dictionary, language, whatever you want to say. And two, why do certain former players, analysts, and just certain people in general value dog over guys who most would consider not a dog like my guy LeBron why do they value that so much over skill or just general ability to play the

game of basketball thank you guys so that question was from Will Shelton 23 he also said uh the Lexi's arena record for most air quotes in a mostly fans question. So what are the qualifications for being a dog? So, Kenyon, you weren't here yesterday. We'll start with you. Damn. Because... Putting it on the spot. I'm going to put you in that dog category

from when I first saw you, your college days, all the way through the pros. Yeah, no, it's... It was having the conversation in the chat, and I was doing something. I missed it, so I had to respond. No, it was, I just look at it like somebody who's relentless. First and foremost, you got to be really good at it,

at the sport that we're speaking of. You can't be, you got to be really good at it. At some particular point. So for me, it's cold, mic, AI. Just relentless, man. Just take no shit, take no prisoners attitude. What's I have on the list? You also put Russ on there. Absolutely, Russell Westbrook. Yeah, it's just like I've stated before, not too many people that I'll pay money to see play the game of basketball, I will pay my good hard-earned money to see Russell play basketball at any point in life. That's how he approaches it, man. I'm with someone that plays that hard, who's relentless, who's that people want to call themselfish. I look at it as he's unselfish because he's

playing that hard to do everything he can do to put his team in the best situation to win. Yeah, so Russ, AI, Kobe, MJ. So in the group chat, Canyon, we have a very spirited group chat on Lexi's Arena presented by Underdog Fantasy Wooboo. You said Russ, Kobe, MJ, AI, and then you said and with several Ns and several Ds, but did not fit. Yeah, because it's not to put myself in the conversation. That's the assumption that we made.

But no, there's certain guys that have certain tendencies of that, I'm going to say somebody who probably don't. I'm going to say Z-Bo. In that regard. Really good at the game. Don't take no shit from nobody, skillful, underrated in certain people's eyes, but not to put myself in that, I'm saying, but... And Z-Bo, where he's from, the bullies get bullied, so... That was one of the greatest sound bites in NBA history. I'm a little... I'm biased, because it's... Yeah.

So, Lexi, this is Lexi's Arena presented by Underdog Fantasy. Who is your WNBA all dog team in the league right now? I gotta type it. Right now or all time? I'm for her right now. I have some older guys. Yeah, no, it gotta be all time because it's tough for her because she's actively playing. Yeah. And she to see these people.

Well, I still am a little confused at what all dog team means. It is, but you just got to... Because from the times I've heard that girl's a dog or he's a dog, they talk about all defense. So when I saw that on Twitter, the all dog team, I was like, oh, these are people that get after on defensive end. I mean, I said defense, offense, relentless all-dog team, I was like, oh, these are people that get after on defensive end. I mean, I said defense, offense, relentless. What was the list that was put out? Rashad said they'll bite you.

Yeah, and I always just put that with defensive players, like she's a dog. But my list as of today, Tamika Catchings. Okay, respect. Simone Augustus. Woo! Jewel Lloyd. Woof, woof.

Alyssa Thomas and Asia Wilson. They're my all-dog list right now. Are you buttering some of these players up because you're going to have to see them? Do they get friendship bracelets too? Does Asia get a friendship bracelet? Everybody gets friendship bracelets. You know, I pride myself on not being a hater. Yeah.

I love showing love, and I respect everybody. Like, I've had, I mean, yes, at the beginning of my career, I was like, yeah, I kind of had to butter people up because I was like, they was trying to pack me up out the league very early. So this is all very genuine because I feel like I'm a gamer, so I recognize game. But again, I feel like I agree with the video.

It's a term that is used very loosely. It is. So yeah, but my initial thought was defenders. That's what I said. It changed. I remember Coach yelled at Mookie Bailock because Mookie Bailock used to come in late, didn then rid the practice hard and he said you a dog ass player Yeah, you're lazy player. You're a dog. Get out of here. It's just a bad time. You're dogging it. Yeah, you're dogging it

That's what I said. It used to be it used to be considered. You're lazy But as things do you know we in modern times we take words we flip them we give them new meanings and then eventually it was Like yo, I want all dogs, which means like in AAU, a team. That presses all the damn time. Yes, that press all day. They don't care. Can't score for shit. But they're just playing brutal basketball, right?

And that's what, now it's like they're trying to switch it into like a two-way style Right. So, you know, that's what I said if it was like real all-dog team it would have been more of Dennis Rodman Like the bill and beer right Who else back then The Reggie Evans types, Ben Wallace. Yeah, I just look at somebody who's relentless, man. Yeah, that's what I said. But that can also be like offense or defense,

because some people are relentless offensively. Yeah, and that's why I put the guys that I put on the list. Yeah. Because they is just, that's what I think about. And most people reference, so the most vicious dog people can think of is a pit bull right? Mm-hmm Think about it. All right, so they if the shots that dog a bite then they bite won't let go today Right. So it's that thought process. I think is what people Stim it from because then you have someone who's like a

dog like relentless offense like gonna rip your heart out, but like has a very calm demeanor so then you don't necessarily associate them with being a dog because you know some something will happen on the court and they'll just be like Yeah, like a Tim Duncan. Yeah So we have some like me some more news on the Adrian Griffin-Bucks situation. Obviously, we reported earlier in the show the Bucks have relieved Adrian Griffin of his duties as head coach. We also talked about speculation that Doc Rivers— Damn. I know how he feels. I got relieved of my duties, too. That's—you know.

Got fired on your day off. Gil's arena. You can send him a text. Which is funny, because we all went internally, like, no, I'll make Alexi's arena. We had it up. But Gil can still pull up because we're in your house. I can still pull up. We're in your house, though.

Because you live here. Brutal felt bad. Just making you stay up. I was thinking about not coming down. I got a day off. Be in the chat. What's up, chat? So the latest on this Bucs situation.

According to Shams, Doc Rivers is the leader to become new head coach of the Bucs. And the sides are working toward a deal. League sources say. Dang. Was Doc Rivers out here dirty to become new head coach of the Bucks and the sides are working toward a deal League sources say Doc Rivers out here dirty-macking off season. He was using the broadcasting job I mean he was dirty-macking him shoot the shit out of Tyrone Lou in Philly How many teams has he been coach of I Know there was one thing he won a championship with that was that one one year. And then from there, he's been a loser. This will be his fourth team? Magic.

Fifth team? Magic Celtics Clippers. Philly. Philly. Philly. Dang. Emilia Wackay. Doc, stay with the Jaw Rivers.

Good to see, though. I'd like to see a black man in blue. Hey, man. We love it. When you're hiring a coach and you're looking at their resume, like, what the fuck are you looking at? The fuck are you looking at? Like, when you give me your resume and I'm like, all right.

Hey, how you doing, Doc? This is your Orlando team, right? Damn, y'all was some shit. Hey, so you had T-Mac? Y'all lost 22 in a row, huh? That's interesting All right use suck that Boston and then you owe you owe you got Hall of Famer Hall of Famer Hall of Famer Then y'all won and then you didn't win shit after that. Okay, you got the Clipper job. Who's talented group? Oh failed failed failed

Okay, oh, okay. All right, then you went to Philly and Kay you had we had some good players over there you failed there Yeah, you're hired what the fuck are y'all doing? What the fuck is this? Like the weatherman and winning It's like the weatherman is gonna be sunny and dry He gets put in some very great you can put in some great situations He fucking sitting there bitch interviewing right he getting ready to look at it. Hey, but don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. It'll be different this time. It'll be different this time. It'll be different this time. See, what had happened was.

Doc Rivers, this is coming from our producers. Not from me, Doc. Please do not slander me. Only coach to blow three 3-1 leads in NBA history. We have a resident Bucs fan. What you mean getting mad at you? These are the fucking facts. I'm just reading facts.

You're reading. But coming from our resident Bucs fans, who's a producer on the show. Somebody get mad at you? These are fucking facts. I'm just reading facts. You're reading. But coming from our resident Bucks fans, who's a producer on the show. Somebody get mad at you for reading? Reading. The Bucks fan contingent, not particularly enthused about this move right now. Dr. Rivers' teams have also now blown 3-3-1 leads,

four other 3-2 leads, and one other 2-0 lead, and have lost a game seven at home four times, five if you count the bubble where they had the home advantage but obviously there was no crowd day yeah it's hard to defend that yeah I don't want to die minutes and it did they want to give him the job they want to give him money a good luck but Doc Rivers resume versus Adrian Griffith resume we said I don't even know that was in contention because Adrian's resume as a new coach versus Doc's resume as a new coach.

Understandable. They're not even close. Understandable. I mean, why are we putting your career against his career today? How about when he first started, his first couple games, I'm pretty sure he wasn't third in no conference. A wild day in Lexi's arena. Oh, I'm sorry. That's a correction. Second. He's second. Second in the East. Second in no conference. A wild day in Lexi's arena. Oh, I'm sorry, not second. Correction, second.

Second in the East. Holler back. You're second in the East and you're being replaced. And then what's the overall? So, their record is second overall in the league, third overall in the league. You pull it up. Boston's first. I think they're tied with the Timberwolves for so second best record in the second league

The Denver is 30 and 14. So they're a game away from potentially, you know loss away from those side so Okay, so this is not a There's no positive for Doc here. If you lose, nigga, this is another team that you had as a winning team and you lost again. You win, you get no credit. The fuck did you do? Took them from second...

To winners. I mean... I made these... What do you do? I still see the... There's no... What is the end game for Doc here? Just another coaching job.

But what I'm saying is, as just someone viewing the situation, if you do not win, we're going to be looking at you because Adrian could have did the same shit you're going to do. So you have to win it to get no credit. You're not going to get any credit like you're not gonna give me credit for this team It's rare Putting up on the end of January right team with a winning record got a system already in place So they so they got to go learn all new plays right now?

So he going to come in and implement this system? This shit is wild. No, that's what I'm saying. He's not coming in with no new system. He's just going, yeah, y'all keep doing what y'all going to do, and I'm going to just be out here subbing. What the... Yeah, like, what do you do?

Now, you know what? Zero 34. Pick and roll. Pick and roll. What's the play? Pick and roll. The problem is that... Y'all need to post up.

77. The sad part is, name a point guard that he had that he put them in a great situation. Damn. This is a tough one. I mean, you did have Ben Simmons, who's a 6'11 point guard, and you didn't do not one pick and roll with him in the meet. You had a 6-11 point guard that you didn't put on the block. That you didn't do no ISO work with.

That's right there. He's taking advantage. You got him sitting on the outside knowing he couldn't shoot threes. Good luck. So who do we have coming out of the East? Boston? I have Boston. Yeah, I'm going to lean, I'm going to just beat them. You're going to lean heavily.

I'm going to lean heavily on Boston now. I'm just heavy on Boston. Sounds like good move, good move. Yeah, I'm just heavy on Boston. I'm just, I figured that, you know. I mean, it seems like this has been in the works. This shit must have been detrimental. I don't know.

This is odd, an odd situation. Yeah, don't tell me he didn't pull the M.A. out this week. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know shit must have been detrimental. I don't know. This is odd. An odd situation. Man, I don't know. Yeah, don't tell me he didn't pull the MA out this bitch, man. No. I think more likely they had him on tape feeling bad. Like, what's happened? What happened?

Something, yeah. You got fired on your day off? It is his day off. Bucks play the Cavs tomorrow, so a man did get fired on it. Damn. After beating the Pistons by nine points. That's like a little bit. That guy looks stressed.

By some other news in the Eastern Conference, after missing out on several stars this offseason, season heat finally made a move, trading Kyle Lowry and a 2027 first- round pick to the Hornets for Terry Rozier. The 2027 pick is lottery protected, turned into an unprotected 2028 first round pick, according to Woj. Scary Terry's averaging

23 points, close to 7 assists, 4 rebounds this season. Do you like the heat trading for Terry Rozier? Any more scoring? He's a bucket. Yeah, good move. I think a big would have been more suffice, so Bam could stop

playing the five, but hey, what do I know? No, it was a good move for him. Does it matter? I guess it's the root. No, he can... No, he all right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I ain't dismissing the man's ability. It's a great move for them.

But I don't know if it moves the needle and helps them become top three, four. That's my point. I'm not saying that. No, no, no, no, no. But for them, as far as another scorer, somebody who they can put the ball in and go get his own bucket, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

Lex, are you rolling with the Terry Rozier trade to the Heat? Yeah, I mean, he seems like, I mean, you look at a player and you're like, how will they fit in this Miami culture, special culture that you like to say? I feel like how will they fit in this miami culture special culture that you like to say i feel like he will do well in it and i think that's like the most important part is someone that will thrive in that heat culture that environment um and i think he's gonna be excited to be on a contender and winning because i don't know what they got going on in Charlotte, but yeah. Yeah, I don't think it's going to make them better than Boston,

but, you know, I'm very biased towards the Celtics. We are a Celtics fan, and we all are Celtics fans here in Alexis Arena, presented by Underdog Fantasy. Have you cut the checks? Who? Okay, just the one in closest proximity. Never. Not for the week?

Never. It's okay. Never. Never not for the week. It's okay Never How great of a culture fit is scary Terry in Miami? I Think you do. I think you do well They need they need someone else who can put the ball in the basket, you know, especially to carry them when Jimmy Butler's chilling You know, you still got heroes so they have got heroes, so they have... They're a defensive team,

so the fact that they have a lot of offense now is going to be interesting. This is who Boston fucked up on when they got rid of him. That missing piece this whole time was Scary Terry. You know, last year and the year before, a guard who can put the ball in the basket. So we'll see how this plays out. But, you know, Boston still.

Team to beat in the Eastern Conference. They're saying Kyle going to retire? You heard that? Kyle Lowry? I think they said they're still trying to move him. Right, move him somewhere. I heard back to Toronto and I know that nigga that won't go back to Toronto. I'm saying just so he can Retire? Uh, I mean if he's gonna retire then yeah go back to Toronto so they can farewell there. But that'd be cool But if not then no Kyle like the hoop.

Yeah. Hopefully it's just too much. All this shit going on, hopefully it ain't too much for him. We will see what happens. But Terry Rozier, now a member of the Heat. Kyle Lowry. I'm waiting on one more motor happened. Damn it. Well There's a lot of going on on this Tuesday me one more thing to happen on this Tuesday shit

Me play a little bit last night man Ran a play from the guy got him alive like Another lob. I'm not y'all trying to put him on display huh little showcasing some other news to report Tristan Thompson has been suspended 25 games for violating the NBA MBPA anti-drug program so according to reports Thompson tested positive for, what is it, abutamorin? I don't even know. I don't use no shit like this.

What does it look like to me? And SARM LGD-403. You can just, whatever that shit is, you already know. That shit looks crazy. You already know. You got way too many letters and numbers in it. Not to be confused with SARM LGD-402 or 401. So according to Google, abutamurin increases growth hormone production

and SARM LGD-403 is used by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass. To sit on the bench? Average of about three points per game. You took all... You want to look good on the bench, girl.

To be on the bench... You want to look good in his jersey. Working on his bedroom body. On the pins girl to be on the bench Working on his bedroom body. Oh, oh man you come on man. How the fuck you get caught? To be on the bit that you can't say Because they probably wasn't expected expecting to even be tested because you don't be playing the ones they do test The nigga that ain't playing. That ain't playing. We ain't going to test them. We can't.

That motherfucker ain't played in a month of Sundays. Come on. Let me get that. Come on. Put your name as LeBron. Put your name as this person. This. Damn, Chloe.

I'm sorry, baby girl. God damn. This man. 25 games. Hey, hey. When it goes down to just the word cheating it should be this nigga cuz yeah Each you know everybody He's she know everything that moves god damn

That's you know, I'm she know the drugs. She know my girl. I cheated a school shit But serious question for you guys I've always been curious about how do they do drug tests in the league like when you inform what do you have to go do? Somebody watch what's changed? They drawing blood now. Oh Are they drawing blood? I'm a sure way worse so to catch this Yeah, do you guys really like have like a like a really really good game and then they get drug tested?

Like that really be happening? No, I haven't experienced that. No, they don't do that anymore. They didn't do that with us. They do that now. Right? So, Embiid and what's her name probably got tested after this. Not to tell on them to see what's going on so they can duplicate this shit 10 years from

now. So, they're like, don't take what Tristan Thompson is taking, guys. No, no, no, no, dead ass. Like, you remember when they just did random testing for no reason, right? Everybody get tested. Now imagine, imagine it was weed, and then you had all your top tier caught. You really think the NBA was going to put this information out?

You think the NBA is going to put out them 70s? You really think they're going to taint their 70s, their history? Fuck no. I don't give a fuck what Embiid was on, if he was on something. I guarantee you they looked at it. Yeah, so who's playing tomorrow? You're not gonna sit there and say oh and bead was or you know, yo kids. They're not gonna do that They're just they're just and they ain't no collection that shit, huh? And they and them two boys ain't taking shit They just collecting shit basketball. There's always there's always the niggas that's holding on to dear life

Holding on holding on to dear life. Holding on to this spot. Taking steroids, sit on the end of the bench, boy, just trying to sit there and be buff for no damn reason. Yeah. You know, always a reason to be buff, too. Trying to keep that job, dawg. Always a reason to be buff. You're available.

Summertime coming soon. Just being available. Sitting down there, the motherfucker with somebody get hurt. She Come out there You say somebody name you But back then when it was doing the steroid test with the people they were catching 15 14 man on the team Right. He was packing up for Shag. They needed all that The people they were catching, 15th, 14th man on the team.

They was packing up for Shaq. They needed all that. They needed all that for Shaquille O'Neal. Damn, Tristan Dawg. Dumb. Just dumb. 25 games. As soon as they said 25 games, I was like, oh, that ain't weed.

Oh, for sure it ain't weed. Hell no. Well, you got to call for the good stuff. It was the good stuff. Wasn't the good stuff. He got caught. Niggas on the good shit don't get caught. Did somebody tell on him? I'm just saying.

To sit on the bench, though, that's crazy as hell, boy. What's that? I didn't realize he wasn't playing at all. Most of us didn't know he was still in the league. Never a bad reason to be buffed, though. I'm going to be honest. So I might have to hit some of that SARM LGD. What is it?

What is it? Get buffed? Thin out? No. I couldn't tell you. AGH? Yeah. Stay young?

Recovery. Don't get those kids. Recovery. Yeah. For what? For what? Sit on the bench. What the fuck you recovering from?

It's exhausting. Last night? Yeah, man. I told you. Oh, you had a rough one last night, yo. I need some of this. Working on your bedroom body, man. Yeah, and it been beautiful.

I need some of that. I gotta get in this layup line real good. I gotta get in this layup line. Yeah, boy. Pull it. layup line real good. I got to get in this layup line. Yeah, boy. I'm about to get on it so I can just lift your laptop like this. Put your arms up.

Uh-oh. Another sound effect thing. Anotherilitive. He gets up to four in a week. I have something else I'm going to bring tomorrow, too. Uh-oh. Another sound effect, I think. Another sound effect. Yep. So our first mostly fan question from underdog user Can'tBeatCut. Was there ever a superstition anyone on the couch had pregame or before some event?

I'm already knowing about McCants and the pregame work. He just liked me for real. So a superstition you had had before a game or event? Not a superstition, just a routine. I like to do the same thing. What is that routine? Just like my shooting routine and things like that. Like, it's nothing crazy.

But I don't really, I'm not very superstitious at all. Oh, for me. I didn't really I'm not very superstitious at all. Oh Didn't touch you people who couldn't shoot I wouldn't hit them with the right hand And that's what fucked me up in the shootout cuz I was giving everybody the high-five Turn this boy. You did go down the whole line I know I do I went down the whole line with the right hand knowing that before If I if you wasn't a shoot, I wasn't touching you with my right hand shooting on you. You know what's funny? Because when you did that, Jenna was like, why is he high-fiving everybody like that?

Yeah. Rashad O'Macara's best entry into the arena came in the wheelchair. That was ridiculous. Wheelchair. With the arm sleeve. I can't believe you didn't at least beat Rashad. With the arm sleeve. He's ridiculous.

But finished second on the couch, though. All right, our next question is from underdog user Kiddent, around 25. With a successful first ever Gil slash Lexi shootout, will you host another shootout in other cities nationwide? For example, Las Vegas, Atlanta, etc Yeah, I don't know if he watched the show yesterday he did not earlier today We're gonna do one in March don't know where yet most likely Charlotte or Atlanta.

Yeah, director playing personnel right here. Let's get it. So, last Mostly Fans question from underdog user Hercules. Yo, what's up, Lexi's Arena? First off, love the show, but wanted to know a couple things.

First question, what is or who is responsible for the scoring outbreaks that we had last night? Is it the spirit of Kobe and the 18 year anniversary of him scoring 81 points or is it the teammates or coaches or play style of today's game lack of defense who knows what do you guys think um so question number two uh I'm an AAU coach for 14 to 16 year olds is there any advice that you guys have as far as what's the most important for them and their development? Love the show, guys, again.

So first question, what or who is responsible for the scoring outbreaks we witnessed last night? I want to say the spirit of Kobe, but I definitely will credit the lack of overall defense in the league. the spirit of Kobe, but I definitely will credit the lack of overall defense he played in the league. The spirit of Nobe. Come on, the lack of defense. There's just so many more moves today.

It's not that I can't. Embiid, I will agree. Katz, there was no. So many more moves? He literally... Which ones? In the... Catch that bitch at the free throw line, nigga.

Like, long jab, jump shot. What's fucking... What's more... What I'm saying is the same thing that Tim Duncan was doing. I mean, it's just... Same shit, you know. He's more... The players are more talented, but you can say that but they're still worthy scoring

Oh, is that Collins didn't have a chance in here to guard him? No You know the problem is the league the league is not the league is not built today's game is not built for someone like Embiid Jokic or Giannis you know there's gonna be like an influx of big guys. Yes, they're coming through right? Yeah. Yeah, they're coming through So that means the league is gonna revert a little bit back because I have to have it all though Yeah, we have to be able to do more because there are very many like big big guys Not playing right now there there's college and younger they

Because right now what I'm bees doing somewhere. They're in college and younger. Because right now, what Embiid's doing, you're going to start now drafting just for him. So you're going to start drafting more bigs eventually. But agile, mobile bigs. You have to. You have to. Which is wild. All the coaches who don't make big men get in the post anymore.

All them 6'4", power forward shit, that shit is gone. Yeah, you get eight. And 6'1", point guards is gone. Yeah, you get sick and six foot six one point guards It's fucking over to yeah shit That that's your back. Oh, yeah, that's your back. Oh your third. Huh? Might be your third point guard. So what and also what advice do you have for a you teams age 14 to 16? What was the best development for them? You said with an honesty? Fundamental to fundamental and honesty and honesty. Yeah kids. I think have a little bit of trouble dealing with honesty

Well guess what you asked my point. I know I'm just a yes goddamn question for the couch Answer is honest with them. You God be honest with the parents to be Is extension they together that them your child is extension of you and vice versa goddammit, so I'm gonna be honest with both of y'all It's important. I feel like a lot of kids are getting lied to nowadays. Hell. Yeah, especially with the transfer portal gotta understand. It's never been harder He'd be sitting there looking at the parent. Yeah, my son's gonna you know, your son gonna be five six just like you. Yeah He's gonna be five six. All right. Yeah, I'm sorry Okay, now you five six. He might get to five eight. Yeah What the way they growing he might be two inches taller than his dad

I know he I know he's faster shit right now because everybody else is still developing. So what you see right now is not the end result. You might want to just go to soccer. He's a great height for soccer and baseball, but basketball I'm pretty sure he's going to cap out about 5'8". That's just high school and low Division I, if you're lucky. We had this chat a while ago because I'm coaching my young son right now and some of those other kids out there shooting from three, doing crazy stuff at five, six years old. But as you mentioned, look at the parents. And I'm like, okay, they're about 5'8".

What age do you start being brutally honest with kids? Had nine-year-old practice yesterday. Little girl shot the ball from a certain distance. I stopped the practice and said, can you make that? She said, probably. I said, I didn't say probably. I said, actually, can you make that? She said, probably. I said, I didn't say probably, I said, actually, can you make that? Do you practice that shot? She said, no. I said, I'm just going to suggest you don't shoot it again. I have those same conversations. Look, I just, she's nine.

Do you have the arm strength to actually get that ball into the bat? Yeah, I don't want that, yeah. Delivery is key. Say that. Elijah, I wouldn't let him shoot threes when he first started. 10, 11, 12? No, he can't shoot threes. My dad put me on an eight. He's shooting it wrong, right?

He's shooting that bitch from down here. There was a kid in the gym yesterday. When I first got there, I get there before the girls practice. Dad on the floor lefty. He got it nice, but he's shooting that bitch from down here. If you want to stop developing bad habits, I said, is that your son? He said, yeah. I said, you're teaching him a bad habiting bad. I said that's your son. He said yeah, I say you teach him a bad habit right now He said what's that? I said the older he get it's gonna be hard to break where he's shooting that ball from

Mm-hmm. All right I'm walking I said so now you need to start doing form shoe and put the ball up here So he starts shooting ball from here. Yep, right So many three spots to go to he's starting from there and I just sit like that that you watch parents do a you coaches do and they don't know no better You know like him the fact that it's going in. Oh my son is great three-point shooter like no It's all that shit is wrong. Mm-hmm, right? Because it go in it's good to dig to date because everybody else is the same size.

Yeah, because he's in fifth grade. I ask my oldest because he's in fifth grade. But if you want to correct it now and then the older you get. I didn't get to play at Utah until I was 12. My dad was like, you are not good enough to travel around the country and play basketball. We're going to sit in this gym. You're going to get better, and then we can go play you're in the league now So but I look now it's like seven and none they've got and I'm just looking like you can't be putting me

of you So if you put me seven-year-old kids on a full a you schedule we traveling around the country Yeah, I wish I fucking would I'm just Them it is but not as a parent as a parent. Yeah, you know Do that shit in high school and that shit was bruh. It's crazy parking you did this shit Parking rent rent cars hotels you staying in places that you wouldn't fucking dare stay in.
