Gil's Arena - Bronny James Has Finally PROVEN He Belongs In The NBA!!

Episode Date: March 24, 2025

Bronny James Has Finally PROVEN He Belongs In The NBA according to Gilbert Arenas as Gil & The Gil's Arena Crew react to Bronny's Career High 17 points for the Los Angeles Lakers and debate if this break out performance did enough to prove all the haters wrong about Bronny's place in the league. They then react to the Chicago Bulls blowing out Luka Doncic & The Lakers in LeBron James' return to the lineup which sparks a conversation on the Lakers' lackluster defense and if that will be the thing that takes them down in the NBA Playoffs. Next, they react to Kevin Durant single handily keeping the Phoenix Suns afloat with a 40 piece on the Cleveland Cavaliers and debate if the Suns have enough in the tank to turn around their disappointing season and make a last second push for the NBA Playoffs. Finally, they examine KD's masterpiece from the losing side as Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers have lost 4 of their last 5 games and discuss if this cold snap is just a bump in the road for the Cavs or a sign of things to come as the top seeded team approaches the NBA Playoffs.

I ain't got time for that. They got to score. They got to score. He ain't going to score. He's piling on with the ball. He just wants to play defense, though. I don't want to hear that. I'm like, I ain't got time for that. They got to score. He ain't going to score. He probably won't want the ball. He just want to play defense, though. I don't want to hear that.

We will do that at the end of the show. But speaking of March Madness, tipped off this past Thursday, really on Tuesday with the first four,

but the real tournament started this Thursday. Plenty of legendary moments on and off the court. Let's talk about a few. First, we're going to talk about one off the court. McNeese State student manager Amir Khan become an internet sensation in the past few weeks. Let's take a look. So here he is right there.

A clip of him walking out the tunnel with his squad while holding a boombox and singing rap songs bar for bar. Went viral. It's a legend right there. You got to have him bring you out. You got to have him bring you out. For sure. We got another NIDU for you. In Khan's bio on the team's official site, he says, if they kept manager stats for rebounding and wiping up wet spots on the court, I'd put up Wilt Chamberlain numbers. So Khan has garnered the nickname Aura for his undeniable swag while

also showing why you should never judge a book by its cover. So he's hit the scene. He's doing his thing. Recently, Khan became the first manager to secure an NIL deal, signed more than a dozen deals with brands like Buffalo Wild Wings, Pick Pick, Insomnia Cookies, and TurboTax. And according to reports, his earnings have easily eclipsed the six-figure range, which is significantly more than the actual players on the team. So, McNeese State got their first NCAA tournament win ever this past Thursday with their upset win over Clipson, but was eliminated by Purdue in the round of 32. As a result of the team's success the past two seasons,

head coach Will Wade will be taking his talents to NC State. But according to reports, Khan will be joining Wade at NC State next season. So, when you look at this, is Amir Con's NIL success good or bad for college basketball? Like I said, he's making more bread than the actual players on the team. It's different. The coach signed before the tournament, right? Yeah, he did announce that he was dipping.

Said some of y'all will be coming with me, some of y'all will not. Put the beyond on him. Bring my luggage with me. This is own luggage, and it's Louis. The manager getting six figures, man. That's dope. It's a weird world, man. It's a weird world we live in. I don't know what I'm saying.

Social media, man. Why is it a weird world? I don't know how to feel about it. What entertains people and what people are likeitated to. You know what I'm saying? My boy just coming out with a box, it's cool. I love, you know, I ain't gonna hate on nobody. But damn, my boy just come out with a box, I say, nah, we're gonna, I'm looking at everybody,

we're gonna get that man, we're gonna get him to back. He had his own question. Hey, hold on, because I'm in the draft right now and my pick is up. Do I go with Tatum or Luka? For what? Slap yourself for asking that question. It's the draft. Luka.

Slap yourself for asking that question, Gil. I know, but I know Boston will go to the championship. Is it? Ooh. Yeah, I got you, JT. You got to do JT. Damn, I wanted Luka, too, because we're going to the championship. Luka, Gil, you put me.

I'm in the middle of the Gills Arena draft right now. Wait, hold on. So you're going to take Tatum because they're going to the championship, but y'all are going to the championship. I know, so why you don't? Because that's the easy road. That's the easy road. That's the easy road.

Hey, man, what about your draft? What's the easy road? What about your draft? Boston. That might be it. So Lakers ain't going for it. The Lakers not for sure. Yeah, for sure. But Boston might go. The Lakers are else? Yeah. The Lakers ain't going. The Lakers not for sure.

Yeah, for sure. But Boston might go. You should. The Lakers are out of work. Take Tatum. They're not going to go to the. Yeah, I'm getting. That right there.

That right there is the reason why the Lakers not going. I can probably get Braun next. I can get Braun next. Yeah, that's why they're not going now. Future. The Steph up there. I got Tatum and Braun. Come on.

The Steph up there. Put him up there. Two Stephs. Put him up there. Yeah. Put him up there. Two staffs. Put him up there. Yeah, put him up there. Two staffs. Two staffs. But I think it's good for college managers and outside of the players.

Nobody else is going to get that. Nobody else is going to get that. I mean, but it can bring out more personality and more visual stuff to teams. Like, we didn't know the team. We knew him, which made us look at the team. So, you know, I think it's a great thing that, you know. Yeah, man, all the sweat they got to clean up and shit. It's cool.

It's a lot of sweat, man. A lot of sweat. Jerseys. As you know, some of those jerseys, soil. If you look at it like that. They just be throwing their jerseys at him, man. I get it. Jerseys. And know some of those are these soil if you look at it like that It's all about personality man, he has the personality really putting that shit in the band what was personality he has personality I mean got a little swagger. I mean calm or they made him a suit. What's a or you said or on? That's his nickname or

So y'all rockin with it cuz a lot of people feel a certain type of way about it. Yeah. How do they feel about it? They mad? Well, you know, people are a little salty saying he's colonizing. But he's going to NC State, though, right? He's following his way to NC State. I think he was a senior this year, but he's taking it down.

And he getting a scholarship to NC State? I mean, I'm sure he could just. Who is? Don't think I'd go to NC State, right? Who is? I mean, NC State girls is good, too. What you mean't think I'll go to this. Who is? The manager? I mean, NC State girls is good, too. What you mean transferring to NC State?

He's transferring. He's in the transfer box. Yeah. He's in the transfer box. Hey, hey. Boy, yeah. Oh, crazy. Okay.

Yeah. What you mean? That's the first. Coach gone, I'm gone. This is crazy. Yeah, coach gone, I'm gone. Not the players. It's the coach and the manager now.

I'm gone. All right, okay. He coming with me. Yeah. coach gone. I'm gone. Not the players. It's the coach and the manager now. I'm gone. Coach like, he coming with me. Yeah. He went D1. He went big D1. You done? Yeah.

You got the aura. Big D1. Okay, okay. All right. So let's talk about another thing that went down that people were buzzing about. So after winning the Conference USA

regular season and tournament championship, Liberty was knocked out in the first round by Oregon, but their head coach, Richie McKay, still had his one shining moment, but not for the right reasons. Let's take a look.

During an in-game interview, McKay was spotted doing his best Carlos Boozer impression with a spray-on hair dye. That's a nice-looking lineup, though. I'm not even going to front. This is a new look for McKay, who was traditionally rolled with the janky hairline, but decided to spruce it up for March Madness. Naturally, the Internet did what the Internet does in these moments, proceeded to let the jokes fly.

But I got to ask the couch, what are your thoughts on Richie McKay? Just go to Turkey. Rocking the spray oil. Just go to Turkey. Go get the thing. Just go to Turkey. I mean, no, it's all on TikTok. They got a bunch of men just walking around.

But he don't care. He care a little. I mean, he... I mean, he got time right now. That shit dangerous. And then Barbra was probably like, man, you got to be in front of everybody. You should get a fresh cut. He probably, go ahead and do whatever you want to do, man.

They probably look good, but not on camera. Go ahead and do whatever you want. They probably look good, just not on camera. You know what I'm saying? He should have backed up when he did his interview. One shiny moment for him. Because he got the low cut. That's right there.

Damn. He should have just got like, what the hell, man. Unfortunate, but shout out to Richie McKay. Oh, I got the number one pick. Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah, we on the show. I can't even actually say anything

because Underdog does pay these bills, so. I can't. Y'all started a draft. I can't help it if everyone hated Underdog does pay these bills. I can't. Y'all started the draft. I can't help it if everyone in here, y'all did your damn job. What the fuck is y'all problem? Y'all just promoted the Gills Arena tournament and you mad motherfuckers assigned it. That's a damn shame. You're acting real different.

All I'm saying is I'm active right now. Ain't no skips on this couch. I'm active right now. Yeah, he been on one since. Ever since? You didn't get it all out? Shit, they're filling active right now. Ain't no skips on this couch. Hey, hey, I'm active right now. Yeah, he been on one since. Ever since that old white guy. You didn't get it all out yourself? It's filling up right now.

Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. It's filling up. What you talking about? You didn't get all that out yesterday? You was, you know that? You all right?

You good, Gil? Hold on, I might get Donovan Mitchell right now. Cav number one option. Carry on.

No, it's only for the men. It ain't for the women. The women, who? Women crack it. Women are who? UCLA Women's Basketball Team? But the biggest things was the boozer. Yes. Cooper Flavius Cook. I mean, there was only for the men. It ain't for the women. The women, who? Women are who? UCLA Women's Basketball Team? The biggest thing was the Boozer. Cooper Flavius Cook.

I mean, there was good things going on. He was doing his thing. Austin Ridge. Lemon Daddy. Papa D. Limon. Get that. Swaggy, your USC Women's Squad advanced. Juju spotted talking to Jaden Daniels.

The internet has to toss on that. Oh, you seen that? UCLA Women's Squad advanced also. As a reminder, we have our Instagram. Yeah, yeah. Where you're going on. You're going UCLA Women's Squad advanced also. As a reminder, we have our Instagram. Yeah, yeah, but. Wager going on. We won 70 something to 25. That's not even the game.

W is a W. We'll see. We stopped playing the first quarter. We will come out victorious. All right, but let's talk about some basketball. So Kyrie Irving celebrated his 33rd birthday this weekend. Sadly, kye out for the remainder of the season after suffering a torn ACL earlier this month But in his career Kyrie's an NBA champion gold medalist nine-time all-star three-time all-nba selection

member of the 50 40 90 Club and the former rookie of the year career averages a 24.6 assists and four rebounds in 779 regular season game we want to give Kyle some love on the show Help uplift his spirits as he bounces back from his ACL injury. So I'm going to start with you, Mr. B. What makes Kyrie's game so special? It's very unique. It's very different.

To me, one of the most skilled guards ever. And he's unguarded. Like, you can't guard him. Like, I think he's one of the most unguardable players in the league. Like, when he's locked in, he's on guard like you can't guard him like I think he's one of the most unguardable players in the league like when he's locked in he's fucking when he's like when he want to score he can score whatever he wants and When you have that type of confidence, and you know it's you're just dangerous You playing one-on-one no, I'm straight I'm good. I'm gonna stay right in my lane

So you don't want to smoke with Kyrie, Mr. B? No, I'm gonna stay right in my lane. So you don't want to smoke with Kyrie, Mr. B? No, I'm gonna stay right in my lane. Okay, that's very wise. No, you should play him right now. Yeah. Three shrivels. I mean, he do got a lot of space. Three shrivels, god damn it.

Right, because... But you gotta play him, like, literally right now. That's what's up right now. Right now. Before he get better. Doesn't it? I watched a 12 hour, all 12 hours.

Of Kyrie? Of a Kyrie mixtape on YouTube. He is a fucking genius when it comes to the movement. He's a master at just manipulating defense. It was unreal just watching him just foot placement, hand placement. He knew where to put the body. It was just like, this is a master class. There's not a lot of masters in the NBA. Curry's a master at what he does. Yoki's just a master class. There's not a lot of masters in the NBA. Curry's a master at what he does. Jokic is a master at what he does.

Luka's a master. Kyrie's a master. You have someone who's just using pure skill, not athletics, just pure skill. It's like, that's the next level. He's next level for sure. Post up. Yeah, I mean, it's much.

You watch all 12 hours? All 12. Just sit there. Just Red Bull, just hiding. And I believe you because I know. You go in depth with it. What makes Kyrie's game so special? I would say probably just the courage, confidence to do the things he do in the game.

Like to bring it from practice, from the streets to the NBA when coaches used to frown upon the things, some of the things he do. And to make it like normalized and to make it for other players to do it without thinking or looking over their shoulders. And I feel like he could have, he should have more championships for sure. He should have more than one. I think people was trying their hardest to, you know, turn it and bring him down in Brooklyn. But I think he learned and we learned, the media learned from that too.

So he's been changing the game as long as he's been in the league, for real. So Kyrie has a player option this summer. His future with the Mavs still uncertain as he looks to return from the ACL injury. But can Kyrie still be a number one option on a contender in the league? 33 years old, remains to be seen how he bounces back from this knee injury, but I think was set to take that role after the Luka trade to the Lakers.

Not a number one, but you know, a leader, not like a number one go-to guy, but like a leader, like the floor general type person. I don't see him winning it for nobody. That's why him and Luka was cool. That's why him and Luka was cool. Let Luka win it and Kyrie bust you down for like 25. You know, what it was. Him and Luka, him and Braun, he had success when he has another superstar

or big talent with him too. So it's important that he has another star player that can go get it. I ain't going to lie though, Dallas is straight. They big as hell. They straight. And they got shooters. What do you mean they straight? Yeah, when Kyrie come back, you know what I'm saying?

They got Lively, PJ, there's another big, somebody, what? No, I'm just doing the names you're throwing out. Them are like good pieces. That's the problem. Everybody want all these superstars and shit. Y'all need these pieces that I'm saying. These the people y'all need. That's why these superstars ain't winning.

I said that's why the sons stink. So who did you name? Kyrie, Klay, Daryl Lively. As for Luka, uh-huh. AD, PJ, Washington. And then you got them. I like Spence. I like Spence. Like, I like Spence.

Even Exum is doing... is looking straight. He ain't really got to be... So who's the number one option then? You got Kyrie and AD. No, no, no, but you said Kyrie being the number one option. I know, but it's hard to be like, it's hard for Big to be the number one option because he doesn't bring the ball up.

But AD's really the number one option, but then you got Kyrie. Then you got Klay shooting then you got Lively on the other side or PJ on the other side then you got then you got Cooper Flags but this is these but these are teams you need I bet you I bet you they'll beat the team you talking about the Lakers at what basketball wow I don Wow. No, they gonna be. At basketball. I know. Bad, domino. Them people that y'all don't... You think so?

They'll get the number one pick, bro. I think they get another big star talent. The team was created for Lucas. I dig that. It was created for his attributes, right? Where he comes down, he can throw these lobs to live, and he can do all that. Kyrie can do that. Kyrie can throw them lobs.

No. He can throw it, but that's not what he do. Those bigs was created for him. Just like our bigs, our bigs is not really created for Luka. We need them high-jumping motherfuckers for him. We got flat-footed shooters, right? Who, y'all? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Y'all got Jackson. We got Jackson. That's one. But they had a bunch of them, right? They had Lively coming off the bench, and they had Gaffer. The people that I just said. Yeah, yeah, so we got to somehow in the summer trade and get the goddamn two bigs we need over here for Luka to do what he do. Damn, y'all need some motion?

No, no, we just need some jumping bigs. Just like, I mean, think about it. Think about Steve Nash, right? People don't understand for the person themselves. When he was with Dallas, he was good, but he wasn't a threat because the team wasn't built around his attributes. It was built around Dirk's attributes. So you had him, Finley, you had them. So he didn't, he was easily controlled. When he went to Suns, now he has a guy who don't pop,

a guy who just trying to dunk on everybody. Then all shooters, now Steve Nash is dangerous. The team is around him now where he just bop, okay, you don't like that. And that's what Luka needs to change that and then that team needs to be around Kyrie and AD more. How they fit. They're gonna be solid, but you know, they're gonna be okay but you know it's gonna be okay they might get another superstar in the summertime I think I think I think Katie

coming Katie's coming to the Dallas man oh the Dallas some just man some itchy man just I don't feel right Kyrie Katie AD KD, AD. Yeah. You think you can... I'm tired of that shit. I'm tired of it, bro. You think it's not even winning. I'm tired of it. Tired of what? That. This is what we say.

Is that victory? I'm tired of that shit, bro. Like, no. That's why I like... Were you tired of the 96 Bulls? That's why I said I like Dallas. Were you tired of the Bulls dynasty? No.

Were you tired of the Boston dynasty? A dynasty is different. Was you tired of the Warriors? dynasty? No. Were you tired of the Boston dynasty? A dynasty is different. A dynasty is like- Were you tired of the Warriors? Like the Warriors is a dynasty. I can deal with Steph, Klay, and Dre, but I can't deal with Steph, KD, and fucking- Yeah, of course. And Luka. Yeah, of course.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, wait, hold on. Go back, go back, go back. Of course not. Go back. You said you could deal with Steph- Steph, Klay, Dre. And KD. I'm just saying, but even- But, but, but-'m just saying, but other than that, we win.

We win. We not like that. We not like that. We not like that. We different. We gonna win with Wig in that spot. We gonna win with KD in that spot. We gonna win with Iggy in that spot. Oh, I mean, Harrison Barnes. Whoever's in that spot, we're gonna still

win. So it's a big difference. But I like Klay, Steph, and Dre better than I like all them fucking superstars. That's not a winning team. I know it's threatening. I get it. It's not threatening. But if you look at it, these niggas losing. They're losing.

No, that's them because they don't know. The people that's picking the teams don't know how to pick the superstars. Boy, they're losing. They don't know how to pick the superstars. But when you're losing. They don't know how to pick the superstars. But when you talk about the NBA legacy, you think about them teams, right? When you talk about the 80s Laker and they try to use the stigma of nobody. Three number one picks on the same team. That is true.

You know what I mean? It's like magic number one pick while Kareem is there who was the number one pick. That's the pick. And then they win a championship, lose, and then they getem is there who was the number one pick, right? And then they win a championship, lose, and then they get James Worthy who was a number one pick, right? So what I'm saying is that's a dynasty. Then you had Boston. Dynasty.

The only get it out of the mud team was Detroit Pistons who had to build in Chicago. Then they became a dynasty. Then it was plug and play. Okay, whores, you want to go with your glasses and shit? The fuck on. We're going to get this.

I'm a crazy ass, right? So you're just plug and play. That's where Golden State was. It's just plug and play. You got your core that play well together, then you're just filling in. What's wrong wearing glasses, dude? That's number one pick.

They don't like people with goggles. Why don't you like people with goggles? They don't like hoop. I'm just saying. That's number one pick, though. They ain't go get the best players and bring them on the team. That's different. You drafted these guys.

They didn't need to. I don't need to bring you over. God damn it, I got three number one picks. What are you thinking about? I got three picks. That Brooklyn team, though. But they did. Lost.

That's because they got hurt. Yeah, they got hurt. They was still lost. I got no no You went over here with D book and I got hurt laws. Now. They got hurt. It's not the same without 30 I'm tell me they just say niggas try made the same with like it was with 30 ain't it? But you got it. You got to put the context is this month. I'm up They lost because they got hurt not because they that's not why No, this is this is this is this is what you will say they lost they did get hurt They lost like it's nothing because they got it ain't that they got hurt They lost it's two different

It ain't they got hurt because they got lost you yeah, no they got hurt Hey, did you not did you not watch what they were doing? Yeah, I seen that Huh, you didn't you didn't see what they did the boss didn't they get bounce first round after this? No No, I'm saying you did you see what they did the Boston in the first round? No, did you see what they did? The Milwaukee Bucks Did you see what they did the Milwaukee Milwaukee Bucks? That was a young Boston. Did you see what they did to the Milwaukee Bucks? The team that won the championship. Did you see what they did to them? They won this Boston.

No, I'm just saying. Yeah. There was a score 125 to 86. Babies. And they lost that. It was another level. Then everybody got hurt. Kyrie went down.

James was trying to hold off until the next round. When Kyrie came back, he had to come. And when Kyrie went down, James was trying to hold off until the next round. When Kyrie came back, he had to come. And when Kyrie went down, he had to come back. And he's just out there on one leg. I mean, come on, man. Don't do that narrative. Them motherfuckers was going to win that championship. There was nobody stopping them, man.

They beat the champion. Them first two games, Bucs wasn't even in their realm. Let's just be honest. You did not look at the Bucs like, even in their realm. Well, they found a way. Let's just be honest. Well, they found a way. You did not look at the Bucs like, oh, my God, this is a great-ass team. They found a way to get in. When he was playing against them in the playoffs.

No, I still, yeah, I didn't. Yeah, okay. And then, I don't know. They got hurt. What? How long he stay after that? Two more years? They got hurt.

He stayed two years after that? It happens. Or one. It happens. They wanted that parade. No, one more year. They brought him back. How about thinking they got... Two more, two more. It happens. They wanted that parade. No, one more year. They brought him back. Two more, two more.

He played 55 games the next year, then, like, they didn't make him out. Injury stopped him, man. And he's getting older again. I didn't ask that. I just said injury stopped him.

I know, but... I mean, I can see if they... I can see if they... the three main stars played 72, the 80 games each, and they lost, but that hasn't been the case. But ain't we tired of saying, oh, it don't work out, KD's leaving.

I'm not tired of shit. It's going to not work out. I don't give a fuck what y'all talking about. I'm not tired of shit. I'm tired. If KD decided to come to L.A., God damn it, shit. What's happening? Will you give up Austin Reeves, KD?

Will I give up Austin? Are you dumb?, you know you don't get you better think Dumb hell yeah, wait wait you hell. Yeah No, no, no, well Katie everything it don't matter Mm-hmm. I'm just fucking you 40 Wait, wait, wait. Austin is like... It does not matter, Mr. B. No, no, no. Next year, at the age of third, how old are you going to be? 37, 38? Yep. Mm-hmm. I don't give a fuck if he was 40.

Yeah, you would give up. I don't give a fuck if he was 40. You talking about Luca. You want to win now. I know what I'm saying. I got Luca, LeBron, and KD somewhere where Luca's coming down doing this shit. And KD out there sniping. Easy money sniper. Are you serious?

I'm saying this picture sounds good. That's a low-ass O.D. They're going to get dunked. That's a low-ass O.D. Yeah. That's a good throw. Slow it down. KD can't move.

LeBron 42 next time. Oh, my God. He's talking about defense. Slow it down. Oh, they can't play defense. Slow it down. Slow it down. They can slow it down, but the offense is going to slow it down.

I can't play defense. Slow it down. I can't play defense. Slow it down. I can't play defense. Zone. Yes. Oh. No, that shit ain't working. That shit ain't working.

That's why they losing. You're the reason they keep losing. You're the reason they keep losing. Zone, baby. Think about him. You're the reason they keep losing. Yeah, yeah. Austin would love that.

I give up Austin Reed, yeah, because he a lockdown defender. Man, y'all better. No, but that. I give up Austin Reed, yeah, because he a lockdown defending man. No, but Austin, the way he play basketball is a little different. KD going to be his little... Austin Reed turns 27 in May. KD turns 37 in September. Cool.

You asked me will I trade him, and I said yes. That's another ring in the bucket. Another what? Another ring in the bucket. That's another bucket. Yo. Lemon daddy? I know. Papadi limon?

I don't need no limon. If Gale think they're going to win without KD, you know he think they're going to win if they had KD. I don't think they're going to win. What you talking about? How old they are. You about to see how bad that defense is going to be in the playoffs. So then imagine if KD was there. Who?

Phoenix. That's that team. That ain't got shit to do with us. What are they talking about? You got three All-Stars. I don't give a fuck. You got one All-Star right now. I think only, how many made the All-Star this year?

You got a need to have 71. Yeah, he had. A league scoring title. I get these scores out and then top question with top 10. You know how they do now. You ask everybody. Well, I will I lose for God. What is the average in who Kevin Wayne Durant?

He is averaging 20 what seven 20. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He can go. Twenty seven, six and four. Austin Reeves can go twenty seven, six and four. Twenty seven, six or four. I don't think about the reason to go right now. A.D. for Luke Fuck that. Y'all don't actually think about the team. Austin Reeves can go. Right now?

Yeah, look how that team was built. Yeah, you see that team?

It was built for him. Chris Paul at the one. He had a point guard. So you can't say he ain't Luka. He did the same thing. Luka was the number one option when he went to the finals. So he won. Wait, did he put always a number one option over there?

He literally always. Who was the number one option? Chris Paul. Jimmy Garland! Chris Paul? You said Chris Paul? Sorry. Chris Paul's the number one option.

Sorry, I got excited. I got excited. I'm playing. I'm playing. I'm playing. I'm playing. I'll put it on automatic playing, I'm playing. I put it on automatic. Y'all just draft for me right now. Just draft for me right now until it's over.

I can't do that. Gil, what's your roster looking like? Let us know. My roster? Is your book team better than Lucas' playoff best ball? Yes. That you have decided to do during Gills Arena. I didn't decide to do it during Gills Arena.

You did, Gil. When you announced it in the show, everybody went and started hitting the shit up in. Right now, I'm on seven draft boards. I mean, yeah, I'm on seven. I got Donovan Mitchell, Dame, Anthony Edwards, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Christian Brown, Luke Doerr. I didn't draft him.

Giannis, Brooke Lopez, Al Horford. Who said Luke Doerr? So we got LOL hot dogs and we got LOL hamburgers right here. Let's go. So when will Kyrie come back next year, though? I don't know. He suffered the injury March 3rd. I mean, I think realistically probably January, February.

Yeah. And even that, even that he won't. When will AD come back? I'm shutting him down. You wouldn't let him even come back? Actually, yo, what team is better? Luka's team that went to the finals or Devin Booker's team that went to the finals? That's a tough one.

Luka's team. Luka's team had more talent than Devin Booker's team. That was well managed. Like the Devin Booker's team was well managed. That was perfect. They was young. They had Mikael Bridges, right? Kim Johnson from Brooklyn. Yeah, a bunch of young people. It's not the ones we know now. They was young, so. And who was the center?

McCabe was a role player. Oh, the dude from Arizona was the center. Aiden. Aiden. That was five. That was decent. That's what I did. That's what I said.

You're thinking about them now. No, I'm thinking about them there. I'm literally thinking. I used to call McCabe Bridges the perfect role player. Then he went to whatever the Nets and started popping shit for 40s and sometimes. Book, CP, Aiden, Mikael Bridges, J. Crowder, Cam Johnson. Dario Sark. Ooh.

J. Crowder's still in the league. I still think that Dallas team though. You'll play J. Crowder one-on-one. I'll play J. Crowder one-on-one. You'll play J. Crowder? Jamal?one. I'll play Jay Crowder one-on-one. You'll play Jay Crowder? Who? Jamal? Jay Crowder. Oh, you're talking about...

Yeah, yeah. So all... Wait. So Devin Booker didn't even make an All-NBA that year. What about O.J. Milne? He didn't? Devin Booker averaged 26 that year. 26, 4, and 4.

Didn't make an All-NBA. Chris Paul made the All-NBA. And was fifth in MVP votes. So, yeah, so Chris Paul was the number one option. Wait, Chris Paul? What are you talking about? Huh? He made All-NBA.

Chris Paul averaged 16 and 9. Dang. Jesus Christ. And he was fifth in MVP votes, All-Star, and second team All-NBA. Wait, he averaged 16 and 9, and the other one averaged 26. 26, 4, and 4. And they gave it to Chris Paul? My skin. All-NBA? Wait, he averaged 16-9. The other one averaged 26. 26, 4-4. And they gave it to Chris Wall.

Lyskinder. Hey, they did 30 like that, too, man. That's why I said it was... They did 30 like that for MVP, man. He controlled the game. That's why I said it was... He controlled the votes. The voters.

You control the game at 16. Control the voters, man. The voters. You probably feel some type of way You control the voters, man. The voters. You probably feel some type of way in that locker room. So, Lois, you don't think the Lakers can make the finals this season with this roster? I mean, I'm not going to say they can't. I'm going to just say I say they won't because their defense is us. Then they say, oh, they got the number one defense.

I'm like, bro, they just, they already said they clogging the paint. So, niggas is just missing. When niggas is making threes It's gonna be it's gonna be over and you see what? Let's talk about that When they make three, but you see what happened last night Let's talk about that defense So after getting just kitty after getting smacked by the Bucs while missing four out of their five regular starters

Lakers were back hole again on Saturday with LeBron in the lineup after missing the past seven games with a groin strain. Rui Hachimura back on a minutes restriction after missing the past 12 games with a knee injury. So in their first meeting with the Bulls this season, the Purple and Gold left much to be desired with arguably their worst performance of the season. Let's take a look at some highlights because we have to. The good and the bad, ladies and gentlemen. So Luka continued to cook in his return after missing the Bucs game, putting up 17 in the first quarter and

29 in the first half with seven and Reeves and Reeves And I was really got put a defenseman and it was looking fine early. I was he called me why we're doing his thing Bulls had a spirited effort You know, Austin Reed. Bro, your man's crazy. He knew that was Luka. He knew that was Luka. He had me, though. I'm on my skin. He was trying to defeat you. Yeah, trying to defeat you.

He had me like a... I'm doing what old media do, man. Like, I see shit, but I'm going to just make it somebody else. Like you. So, Luka, 17, first quarter, 29 in the first half. But Luka finished the game with just 34 points, considering he had 29 in the first half, eight rebounds and six game with just 34 points considering he had 29 in the first half. Eight rebounds and six assists.

So LeBron had 17.6 rebounds, four assists and three steals in 31 minutes of action. He was 7 for 16 from the field. And Lemon Daddy, the man Gil wants to trade for KD, had 25 points and five dimes on 9 of 13 shooting. So Kobe White led the Bulls with 36 points, going 12 for 17 from the field, 6 for 9 from 3.

Josh Giddey messed around and almost dropped a quadruple-double, 15 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists, and 8 steals in the game for a triple-double this season. Wait, wait, wait. 15 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists, and 8 steals. 8 steals. Oh, this is a little shaky for the Lakers.

They're getting back together. It's Josh Giddey. 17 assists. In their defense, Josh Giddey almost do that to everybody. Josh Giddey has been cooking. In their defense, he almost do that to everybody.

Literally. Giddey's four triple-double this season. Giddey, first player in NBA history with that stat line. Bulls rookie, Matos Buzelis,

had a career-high 31 points in 12-18 shooting. He was 5-10 from deep. Buzelis, first rookie in Bulls history with 30-plus points in under 30 minutes of action. Lakers were outscored

81-53 in the second half, and the Bulls' 146 points is the most the Lakers have allowed in a loss since 1984. Damn, they break quick. And their second-worst margin of defeat this season. So J.J. Redick had these thoughts on the Lakers after the game. I love my team. I love those guys. That was the worst our defenses looked frankly, maybe all year, but certainly in the last three months. The Lakers defense been playing at a number one level since mid-January obviously had this misstep.

Three and six in their last nine games, most of those while dealing with various injuries to key rotational players, but we're gonna start with you because I need some positivity on this couch. How concerning is the Lakers' lackluster defense in their blowout loss? When you say 1984, is it a 1984 season? That's 1984-95 when the Lakers won the championship? 1984. Let me double check.

83-84 or 84-85? Let me double check. You know what I mean? Because if it's 84-85, I ain't worried about shit because the Lakers that year won the championship. You feel me? mean? Because if it's 84, 85, I ain't worried about shit because the Lakers that year won the championship. You feel me? Right? Positive. Sometimes you got to get an ass open to make you refocus.

You're great, man. Y'all have been winning. Y'all have been winning. You're ready. You know, sometimes life's so, yeah, you know. Sometimes you just need to reboot. Sometimes we got ahead of ourselves. We need to refocus. We was a little cocky with it. That would have been the yeah, you know. Sometimes you just need a reboot. Sometimes we got ahead of ourselves, right? We was a little cocky with it.

That would have been the 84-85 season. Yeah, we won the championship, sir. Champ! Champ! Oh, you ready for that one? Champ! That's crazy. I like that. You like that?

Yeah, I like that. I like that. That's what baby does. Yeah, that's crazy. I like that. I like that. Dang. That's a good one. Can't say nothing bad about that one. Why you P, Sigma P, a man known by many different P's?

I wouldn't read too much into this game. LeBron picked this game for a reason, you know. I thought it was going to be a cakewalk. Sometimes you play down to your competition and it's one of them nights, you know. Probably didn't want to go out there, none of them. Close to the end of the season, want to get ready for the playoffs. One of these games is going to happen, you know. Some of these games are going to happen.

So I'd rather it happen tonight rather than in the playoffs, you know. So, it's going to be good. It does sound two and two. Gil has, once again, strayed away from the conversation to continue picking his best ball team. Yeah, Lakers, I mean, they better stay where they at. They don't want to get the third spot. They got to play Golden State.

Why wouldn't they want to do that? So they better stay right there between four and five. I mean, the way they're playing it right now, they got to play it the way they're playing it. They need to play Memphis. Because if there's anybody else besides Memphis. I mean the way they playing it right now. They got to play it the way they play it. Yeah, you know They they need to play Memphis Because if there's anybody else besides Memphis, who if it's anybody else besides members mr. B So do you feel like the words would have an advantage over? Laker fame with Luca guys trade that wait wait wait. No, I won't up here. We good. Hey this is 30 side

Wow Hey, this is 30-side. This is 30-side. Wow, you get another goal. This is 30-side. Wow. This is 30-side. That's wild. Okay. What happened last time 30 met the Lakers in the playoffs? Same thing that always happens.

Smack. What happened? Lonnie Walker. I don't know. He had that tough crowd on him. He did? Yeah, on tough crowd in our collab. That's what I remember.

It was a tough crowd. Two free remember. It was a tough crowd. Two free throws. It was a tough crowd. Two free throws. You didn't know it was going to change? Two free throws. It ain't going to change. Two free throws.

That's what happened last time. That's going to happen this time. They're going to do it every time. I know. They're going to do it every time. That's why 30 the greatest. You don't got to do that for 30 to win. You don't got to do that for 30 to win.

That's why the greatest. Send him to the free throw line that many times, and watch how many points he going to have. You got it. We're not trying to do that for 30 to win. That's why he the greatest. I've seen him to the free throw line that many times, and watch how many points he going to have. You got it, man. We're not trying to do that. He the best free throw shooter ever. He ain't dumb. That's why they don't do it.

He ain't dumb. That's exactly why they don't do it. He shooting threes. He don't get to the free throw. What? Threes. We don't need that. We need him driving to the cup like he do,

but we need to actually get the fouls. We need to actually get the fouls. Let's get some holes on coming off screens, too. There's a lot of things we need to change. It'll get better. Yeah, I don't, I just thought about it, man. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, No, they can't. Why? You don't think they can or you just hope that they can? That's what I'm trying to say. They can't. What y'all going to do with Denver? No, because right now, 30 is really all they're depending on right now at this moment. He will be burned. You ain't giving Jimmy no credit. I got to see it. You know what I mean?

I know I'm not putting nothing against Jimmy because I know in the playoffs he's a different dude, but you're talking about to save 30 to second round, third round, Jimmy got to do. I think we just did that like three years ago, 2022. They said the same thing, but we did. You got Clay? Yeah. You got Clay?

Yeah, but we had coming back Clay. I'm on a confident right now. Come on now. And I don't put it, Pat, but I just know 30 out there trying score figure or not trying scoring 50 40 30 We don't need that this ain't y'all team We don't need if he scored 30 day he got coming off 10 the screens and Draymond's getting wild up and layups cuz they rather go for the three and Redition at the Jimmy dinner. It's a lot of good things I think a plan is that the pitcher in my mind is beautiful.

He playing 2K. The pitcher in my mind is beautiful. No, I'm talking about Warriors basketball. This is Warriors basketball. You got to watch this more, man. I watch. Remember I was with you. I was watching with you.

Oh, yeah? So what's the big key? It was just a bad day? That was bad. Okay, all right. So what's the big key for y'all this postseason? Like who's going to be that X factor to help y'all? Because we already know Steph, Jimmy, but y'all need somebody else.

Y'all? Wait, who the fuck are you right now? I'm talking about us. Now it's y'all. I'm talking about, I'm talking about, first of all, I'm but first. It was y'all this way. I said 30. I said 30.

I said 30. I ignored the other one. I said 30. Okay. So I said y' ones. I said 30. Okay. So, I said y'all. You with 30. Yeah. You're not with us.

No, I'm with 30. Okay. I'm with 30. Okay, I'm with 30. Oh, so you got two 30s. But 30 with the Warriors, so I'm with... So, as a team... Hold on.

They're confusing me. They know they're crazy. They're crazy. Right, right. You know how y'all be with Bron? No. And you got to be with Bron, and Braun go from Cleveland? Oh, yeah, I'm Cleveland.

No, that's this. Oh, that's him. But that's mostly, that's a lot of... I'm Laker. Okay. You see? If you look at anything... I know, I know, I know.

I was not talking about Braun when he was in Cleveland or Miami. When he touched that Laker uniform, God. When he leaves, Laker uniform, God. When he leaves, Luka, God. Of course we're talking about Kobe. Kobe was there, so of course we're talking about Kobe. I'm Laker. Before that, Shaq.

Before that, Magic. Of course we have people to talk to. So if Ron wasn't there, would you be screaming? Yes. Would I be screaming Laker? Yes. That's what I'm saying. When Ron Lee, Luka's the best thing I've ever seen. Would you be screaming? Yes, but when I would I be screaming? Lake yes When brah Lee Lucas the best thing I've ever seen

He gonna jump brah all he did is a triple-double year or something. Boom. He jumped brought in George You watch the show never been honest There I've never been always there PJ Heston with.J. Harrison was there. And I live with P. I live with P. He was a Hornets fan. He was a Hornets fan. He was. I've seen him. He was always in the best friend.

Hold on. I know your player. What's your team? Whatever team 30. When he retires. I respect that. When he retires, what's your team? I've been thinking about that, man.

I've been thinking about that. We got room over here just in case. No, we only got room for one. I do think Luka's the best player in the world. Accurate assessment. But, you know what I'm saying? Steph's the best player ever. You know, Steph's the best player ever.

But I've been trying to think about who my team is. So you say Steph's the best player ever in the game of basketball. Ever. The touch, you know. That's what I did. Y'all want to, should I go with Shea? I was thinking about that. Should I go with Shea? I don't want to jump on that wave.

I said team. Oh, you're just going to go to another person. I ain't fucking with teams, man. Alright, now back to the X factor of your team. X factor? And this is what I say. This is why I love us. It could be somebody

different every game. One game it could be Pop might pop you for 15. Kaminga might pop you for 15. We know 30 gonna have 30.

And then Pop. Brandon Bridget. No white boy. He might pop you for 15. Early perfect. And that's on the lower but you got Moody

but you got remember you talking about a team that's gonna the lower. But you got Moody. But you got... Remember you're talking about a team that's going to gravitate around Steph. So these things is open. So if they're open and they're making shots, that's where we're going to hurt people. Because then if you even got to think about them,

30, remember I said you're going to probably be for 30? You might probably be for 40. You might probably be for 50. You know what I'm saying? And then if Draymond, it's our offense. I love team basketball. So when we coming off the screens and they're doubling, I'm telling you, Draymond, or Steph come off the screen, they trap Steph, Steph throw to Dray.

Dray, boom, and then we got somebody smart to pass it to off that. So they help up. We throw in a bit of Jimmy. Now we got another smart person. Let's get something going. We got Kaminga might be on the back door. Might throw that. It might get scary.

It might get scary. It really might get scary. Might is the key word. It really might, but that's for everybody. Like, like, like... So how do y'all beat Denver, knowing that they've been whooping your ass? No, we probably just iso, um, Jokic off of ball screens and just make him get tired.

And tire him out. I mean, I wish we could get a whistle, you know, like y'all get the Lakers if we got a whistle We probably can get them out of there I lost count. Yeah, it's been a lot. It's been a loss without Joker. What's your favorite? Yeah Die hard. Yes, it's when it's just the womb Why is this? Played there. Well, that's what people usually be with. Why are you with the Wizards? Yeah. Because I played there. That's what people usually be with.

Why you with the Bucks? Because I played there. Bingo. Oh, hold on now. So why you not with the, I'm confused. Because when I became. Because ain't nobody over there. When I became a.

They suck. Thank you. Thank you. When John Wall and Bradley Bill was there. Oh, you were. What happened? Nobody's over there right now. What fucking shoes I have on right now? They. Oh, you were, oh. What happened? Nobody's over there right now. What fucking shoes I have on right now? You don't like Jordan Poole.

I have on Copes. You don't like Jordan Poole. What is wrong? I got on Copey. You don't like Jordan Poole. You don't like Jordan Poole. Who don't like Jordan Poole? If he's a Laker fan, he's the best motherfucking creator ever.

I might go with Jordan Poole. I'm a Laker glazer, bro. Speaking of who I'm going with, I might go with Jordan Poole. Like, I don't know. I don't got this through you. I'm a Laker Glazer, bro. Speaking of who I'm going with, I might have one. Like, I don't know. I don't got this through you. I'm a Laker Glazer. Since 96. Yo, I got a feeling that's going to be a clip.

February 8th, bro. February 8th. That's my dad's birthday. 2000. I mean, 1997. Third dunk. Boom. This shit right here.

Oh, my God. He's God. So you. When I seen this right here. Wait, my God. He's God. So you... When I seen this right here, that right there, February 8th right there, that right there... Yeah, he talking about him.

No, he can't talk about him. God. You can't say them words. He became God to me. You're talking about a high school kid that comes in. That's when I became a pure Laker fan. You couldn't tell me shit He became the second greatest ever. I got a fucking Kobe tattoo right here on your inner while I was playing against him

Lakers did Kobe ever see your Kobe tattoo on your inner side He would have thought it was me. Oh, hell no. That ain't dumb. Nigga, I know you don't got my face tatted on your inner thigh. Inner thigh is crazy. All I've been saying, I'm not rolling. Outer thigh rhythm. I'll be not rolling with that. You said from the womb, you probably could be a fan. Where you live, you probably could be a fan.

That's the only ticket you can probably... That's the only ticket you can probably afford back then. Clipper tickets. You just probably could be a ticket. You just probably could be a guy. I can't let you talk about a fucking like that. You talked too bad about him to say he was like a guy. I know.

Yeah, I'm willing to laugh. I ain't even going to go down that road no more. You said he was top two ever? You said that, right? 96. No. It was Jordan, then he was the best thing I've ever seen. And then I made, because Penny was there first.

And then I had to move Penny. How about now? Then I had to move Penny to three. How you some you see I'm talking now. Yeah Quickly for everybody who's watching the show I know you heard Gil said the Lakers blazer thing, but please don't screen grab that and put that on the internet We have enough shit going on. have to worry about. That's what he is. It's too late. It's already out. I'm a Lakers glazer. Glazer, baby. He's proud of it.

Extra oil. Hotlight. What the fuck? I'm sorry. Wait, wait. Extra oil. Extra oil. Wow. That's insane. Extra oil is wild. That's insane. Extra oil is wild. Hotlight. Shut up. So there's a lot of Lakers glazers in the chat. We asked the chat oil as well. Hot light. So there's

a lot of Lakers glazers in the chat. We asked the chat, can the Lakers make the final? 66% of the chat says yes. So we know they got their ass whipped by the Bulls. Let's talk about something more positive. Gil, your favorite European, maybe your favorite human on the planet right now. In 10 games this month, Luka's averaging 31.1

points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists per game, making nearly 5 threes per game while shooting 43% from deep. Luka on pace to be the youngest Laker to average 30 points per game in a single month since Kobe did it in 2003. So, gotta ask you, I think I know the answer. How would you grade Luka's time with the Lakers?

A plus, plus, plus. A plus, plus, plus. What are you talking about? Extra credit. 31-9 in what? Nine. I mean, I expect that. I expect that.

Damn. We ain't talking about offense. I told you what I was talking about. Talking about defense? The best defense is a great offense. Yeah. Man, defense is some team shit. We're going to see.

Is the smoke machine not working? Do y'all play defense? We try. Can we get some more smoke in the smoke machine for Luca, please? We tried. Not right now. We'll just wait. What do you give him?

Luca? Would I give a Luca? Yeah. By itself? Yeah. Talking about Luca. What do you give? What is his grade?

I give him a a I'm trying to see if it's A plus or is it just an A because I think I can see more I don't want him to go I don't give a fuck about what you can see right now he's an A plus next year if he give us 33.99

or whatever that's an A plus too no no no he gonna average that when he and 9 or whatever, that's an A plus too. No, no, no. He gonna average that. When he average that, that's when he get an A plus. Then he averages 35, 9 and 9. What do you give him then? A plus. Okay then, motherfucker.

Give the A plus now too. No, he just got A. Shit. The fuck? No, no, no, no. You can't give him too much. Yeah, I'm with Nick. I'm giving him an A.

I'm giving him. I'm giving him. I'm with Nick. I'm giving him an A right now. Something could be better. Yeah. And when it do get better, I'm gonna give him another A plus. How many A pluses you gonna get? But think about it. Every year. What happens?

You gotta think about like, Boston, the game against Boston and stuff. See, that's the problem with you motherfuckers, man. The Bulls came in there and whooped them. That's the problem with y'all. Y'all think about one game out of all the games. Oh, they played bad in the one game. I'm trying not to do that. I mean, we just saying.

You can't do that. I'm trying not to do that. I know, but we see what it look like, though. You try to play Boston in the finals, we see what it's going to look like. Yeah, that's when you get it. Because Boston ain't missing. Y'all can't clog the paint on Boston. Because if you let Pritchard and Darren White shoot and Jason Taylor shoot,

they're going to break the scoreboard. He's a server, hey. They're going to break the scoreboard for Darren, been balling. He's a Zerva, hey. They're gonna break the scoreboard for Dan's show, for real. Because all the shit they was talking before, fat, all this, and he... He showed it. They called him all fat, and you gave him the E. Fuck outta here. Yeah, because...

A fat, lazy alcoholic, I believe, was the narrative being pushed out of Dallas. What's his defense? I mean, I mean, I mean... That's insane. That's insane. That's crazy. What's his defense, though? I mean, that's insane. What's his defense though? His defense is amazing. His defense is amazing.

No, so that's. Health defense. He's a unique health defense. Health defense. Team defense. What'd he do against Boston? 34 and eight. Man, y'all better relax.

Man, let's just move on. All this dishes. 34 and eight by himself. 34 and eight. That's what he did against Boston 34 and 8 carry on. No, no, you have a little game without a room without underfoot where the games that I never I never Questioned his offense. Yeah Best hey the very this is back. It's back in action say his name again Luca Don't you?

The smoke machine has been repaired. Shout out to our crew. We're going to have a tough... LeBron ain't played. They won two games. LeBron! They won two games. You don't talk about the team.

I need to make sure my best player... I got to make sure my best player is goddamn good. Look, they won. What are you bringing LeBron for? Y'all champions. Y'all don't tell them about how to be a champion. Man, LeBron been out so long, man. We don't care.

That's what I'm saying. We done moved on right now. They didn't win. They won two of them. I don't give a fuck about no win. That's your problem. You think we gonna fall into a plan? I don't give a fuck about no win.

That's that right here. We don't care about no wins. I don't give a fuck about no wins. I just need him to get his shit together. Then when he get his shit together and then Bron come back, we good. Because the Bron we had last night, that wasn't him. He should have just sat out again. Wait, what did he have? He had a decent game, didn't he? 17.

He had 17 points Luka could have had. But he had like 10, he had like almost a triple, didn't he? Nah, he just throwing that. It was a little, not up to Bron's standards. He thought the Bulls was going to be like a cakewalk. That's a bad game for Bron. Look at that. I know, but you do have Bron, Luka, and Austin.

They're all not going to have 30s and 20 every night. That's what I'm saying. This ain't 2K, man. No, one's going to have 30. The other two got a sacrifice. It's a team game. And Bron sacrificed. Yes, it's a team game.

So that's how it's going to be. Bron sacrificed, man. You're going 17, whatever. Luka had 30 first half. Who? Luka had 30 first half. Ended up with what? 34. How you got 30 first half and lose? Luka had 30 first half. Ended up with what? And lost.

34. How you had 30 first half and lose by 30? That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's like a good, like. That's a team. Oh, Luka had 30 first half. Austin had 25.

Bron had 17. Boom and boom. Luka had boom, boom. And they still lost. Well, they didn't play a bad game, to be honest with you. They didn't play a bad game. They just got spanked. But he had 30 at the half end. Remember 34?

Yeah. Yeah, because everybody wanted the ball. He got locked up. Everybody wanted the ball. That's gonna be the problem. And that's why I'm telling you right now. And defense. That's what I'm saying right now. Everybody get in line. We gotta let him get that 60.

Everybody get in line. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. So we asked to chat to give Luka a great... No offense. What? Get in line. Get in line with what? He high right now.

L.A. Lucas, Gil. L.A. Lucas, okay. I was the first person in L.A. with a Luka jersey. Hot off the press. Brought it to this very show. And the clutch check's still cashing. It does? Luka check is a little bit better

Call skip skipper Last night you can go to sleep, huh? Yeah, I went to sleep good. I was gonna go five nights before that. Call Skip Skipper, offer him a job. The ultimate way to call somebody a broke boy. Not in basketball, in football. I'm just saying, you know, it looks like, you know, YouTube ain't your thing. I'm just saying. Come on to the wild side. Come on.

We the young bulls right now, man. You know what I mean? You can go ahead, come on here and be Phil Jackson for us, man. We'll go 6-0. 6-0. Yeah, you can do all that over here. Shout out to 6-0. 6-0.

6-0 community right now. But let's move on. So as I mentioned earlier, Lakers are missing four out of their five regular starters on Thursday on the second night of a back-to-back against the Bucs, which meant Bronny Tom came a little earlier than usual, and Bronny did work in his first extended action with the Lakers

varsity team, despite their blowout loss. Let's take a look at some highlights. The smoke already coming, Gil. Look at Bronny playing against legit NBA players. MVP is on the court. So Bronny set career highs with 17 points and five assists in 30 minutes, going 7 for 10 from the field. People wanted to point out his plus minus.

That is not his responsibility. There are four other players on the court. He shot 70% from the field. He did what he was supposed to do. He almost came back. Plus minus. Four out of five starters. Four out of five starters missing.

Bronny was the leading scorer, but Dalton Connect couldn't let him have his moment. Duh. You know, tried to make it Dalton time. Shit. And a foul. They both threw 70 points. That was flagrant in my opinion, but was not called. To the left.

I like it. But like I said, Bronny, career highhigh 17 points, five assists, 30 minutes. He was seven for 10 from the field. For what it's worth, according to Stat Mamba, Bronny, the youngest Lakers rookie to reach these numbers in a game since Magic Johnson. Tell you the stats. They say anything.

Just tell you the stats. Boy, they say anything. Tell you the stats. This is funny. Oh, my God. I don't make the stats, though they say anything. Just tell you the stats. That's funny. Oh, my God. I don't make the stats, though. I didn't read them. Say it again.

I didn't read them. They compare by the magic. No, they said he's the youngest since Magic. I know. The youngest Laker. I know. Rookie to reach these numbers in a game since Magic Johnson. 17-5.

7 for 10 from the field. I love it. 90% field goal percentage. The rest of the team betrayed him. Ruined his moment. Damn. I'm going to just tell y'all, anybody that played the Bucs, I put them over. I'm just all over.

They just got bad defense. I'm just telling y'all though, anybody that played the Bucs, I bet them over. What? Yes. I bet them over. All them young people. Who is your, who am I sitting beside?

Lose, we go higher or lower here. He's just a Giannis fan. Giannis, Milwaukee Bucks, and 30. Mm-hmm. Giannis, Milwaukee Bucks, and 30. So you saw Bronny give this Bucks squad 17. Career high, as I mentioned. Gil, what does a game like this mean for Bronny in his rookie season?

Everything. You know, in your rookie season? Everything. You know, in your rookie season, man, you've been watching the NBA since you was little. Man, these players of yours are gods, man. You know, you're talking about someone that is Giannis out there. You know, you've got these people's idols growing up. So when you're coming in a game, it's overwhelming. It's overwhelming getting on the floor anyway, right?

But it's overwhelming seeing these same stars you're playing against. It takes an adjustment period. Some kids that's been starting all year is still feeling the shock of playing against LeBron James or Luka, right? Giannis. They're still feeling that. That's why it takes a few years for all that jitter to get out. You belong.

That's why, you know, you wait to about three to four years to see who these guys are. But, you know, shaking Giannis, right? That gives extra confidence because he's a defensive player. He's a two-time MVP. He's a champion, finals MVP. That does stuff to the ego that helps him. It's just gaining little things here and there. It's hard to gain confidence.

You play one minute here, three minutes there, one minute here, two minutes there, four minutes here. That's hard basketball. People don't understand unless your ass is in there. To be sitting all game, I have a lot of experience doing that, and then have to go in and be expected to contribute is very legs atrophy. Most likely, man, most players just,

they just running up and down getting cardio, man. They trying not to make a mistake, and if they open, they really don't want to shoot it, but they do it anyway, knowing that, shit, that's a 70% break. No matter how good you are as a shooter, you're coding the motherfucker, right? Yeah, but especially

with all the noise and everything, just to see the ball go in the basket, like, you know, in a real NBA game, yes, the Bucs, yes, everybody's out, but that was his moment, and he, you know, when you get your moment, you gotta perform, and he did, you know, especially with all the noise that's been going around. I mean,

the confidence in that is just like man The wall finally went in I know I know for sure I can make shots in this league Oh, I can get it going when I want to get it going So one thing that impressed me bucks got an illegal defense. I believe early in the game Bronny stepped up took the free. I saw that Told Shamar more to move around. I'm taking this one. He did. Yeah, uh-huh day I got this. Yeah, my daddy said I could shoot this move around But Ronnie if it

He had this game all alone like if he would have been playing like this in high school He would have been like a top five pick And playing like this is that game or this has just happened once he came to the G League. He had this style of basketball, but for me I don't think he had the confidence to go with it. No, I mean, yeah. I mean, that's why I always said it from the beginning, I said the bones is there. You can see when he's getting places, he's doing that. Even in summer league, look at all the shots he missed, right?

He's coming in, shake somebody here, just missed, right? So it's all in getting comfortable with doing them shots over and over, right? It's like creating. You can see from the beginning, he can create his own space, right? He can get in the lane. He has the athleticism. It's just getting used to, you know, high school to college. These athletes, those athletes from the G League, then the G League to the NBA,

like, you know what I mean? You've never seen a Giannis jumping. You've never seen a Mobley trying to block your shot. So this is new. You ain't never seen a win be. So have the league and think about the league. They're getting used to him. It takes time with anybody. anybody the SAR all of them like how

they look now two three years they're gonna be different players yeah well I said yeah these don't I mean brownies like only shot open shot back then back there he'd be there like I do like even in them you have like open three that have like six points in the game, nine points in the game. But if he was aggressive like this and had this mentality of just fucking playing with confidence, I don't care what they're going to say, they're going to talk about me anyway, I feel like that's how he's playing.

I think it would have been a better result, but I'm glad to see him doing it now. He still got a chance to shut everybody up and make people backtrack. Man. People are already starting to backtrack. I think it's part of the growth, though. You can't backtrack after one game. You can't backtrack after one game.

But no, he played good, man. He was smart at the growth, though. He was a smart basketball player. That's why he didn't do that stuff in high school and stuff. He played his role instead of being like, bro, this is, first of all, my dad is LeBron. I'm doing what I want to do. You know what I'm saying? Let me get off.

I'm going to the league anyway. Don't matter what I do. I'm going to get off. You know what I'm saying? He could have had that mindset. He could have had that mindset, but he went with the KD route, the conservative type chill type shit. Yeah, but the NBA game, too, it makes you open your game up more.

It's more open for you to be at get-off. It's more for you. High school, you know, you're playing for your high school team. You know, you got to, certain players might be ranked or things like that. But once you get to the NBA, it's more, it's an open field for you to, like, be able to get off. So, like, that's why. Like, the court is bigger

like everything's on him so like you can watch the pick and rolls he was doing at the beginning of the season to now at the beginning of the season he was doing pick and roll to pass the ball right right the rim right there he gonna dribble he was dribbling this way because he i need to get rid of this shit right now he's coming in like all right let's go right there's just it's just something happened in the g League, man, where, you know, he was practicing against Goodwin and another young fella, Quincy. You got two guys who are shooters. Right?

So you're seeing it over and over every day. Build your confidence, right? They're teaching you little things. And then with your attributes, because you're more athletic than them, you're faster, you're stronger, you start getting that little confidence here and there, then boom, you're gone. Like Castle, right?

Yeah. He looks better now than he did in college. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Right? Because now you can't sit in the lane on him. None of that shit matters. And, you know, the kid, AJ, oh, you got AJ over in...

AJ Gray. AJ Johnson. AJ Johnson. Oh yeah, AJ Johnson. When he get... No, AJ Johnson, when he get his time, you gonna see another kid that can go and get buckets. When you see Rob, Dylan Ham over there, when he get time, you gonna see what he got. Just takes time.

Yeah, he nice though. Yeah, he nice as fuck. But his mind... Lakers might have a good ass trainer, cause Reed's done had that type of package like that. Well, that's Phil Hanley. Austin Reed's. They got it. No, but also, I feel like it's just about who you around every day.

He around Bron every day. Nah, that ain't Bron back. No, I'm not saying it's Bron back, but I'm saying like what you got to do. As a Laker. I said it. People thought I was, like, saying some stupid shit. When he was like, well, he got D-Lo around him. He got Braun around him.

I'm like, that's not who's going to teach him how to grind. Those guys have been grinding so long, they're stable. He needs someone that's hungry because he's stable. He's rich. He's never had to really fight for something So he needs to be put with people that are gonna fight Ron is not fighting for no spot Dela was it gonna fight with us bought Austin Reed like he's not those guys are not gonna be pushing him every day

It's the guys who's trying to get minutes, right? So you got to put him with those guys. That's like yo, I'm trying to get these spots I'm trying to Let's play pickup. You know, mean? You're playing one-on-one after practice every fucking day. That's the guys who is going to teach him. He's got to become more comfortable. At that point, he needs to be around that ball a little bit more. Yeah, because when he go out there, he got to be more comfortable and just used to what's going on. Every time he touches the fucking ball, they want him to shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. So he got to, he's like, all right, first of all, I'm not listening to them.

Let me actually play basketball. It's a lot of stuff that's going on, extra stuff going on out there. You come off the screen, shoot, shoot, shoot. I mean, it was wide open, but just let me play basketball. So I think he was way more comfortable that last game. He knew, yeah, that scream and shoot, but maybe I can go drive and do this out there. Boom, all right, this is why I need to shoot.

So he's going to be straight. He'll be straight, man. I like him. So Gil, question for you. Has Bronny proven that he deserves to be in the league? Obviously there's been a lot of discussion, debate about that this season. Yeah, he deserved to win that first week when he sold $50 million for the goddamn jerseys. Fuck, he done be paid for

his father's contract. What the fuck are we talking about? This is a business too. We're talking about a 55th pick selling $50 million worth of jerseys. He's good in the Lakers' eyes. Whatever this kid

want, he got. He paid for his father's contract in a week. It's about business too, man. Y'all got to think outside the box just a little bit. I see the 30 side of the couch nodding in agreement.

I mean, yeah. It is a business. No, I'm... Y'all went to the league. You went to the league. Yeah. Y'all played in No, I'm not. Y'all went to the league. You went to the league. Yeah. Y'all played in the league. My bad. Y'all played.

I'm on that side to where it's like, it's somebody out there about 6'5". That's really, he really on that. He really on that, but he ain't got, that ain't LeBron. You know what I'm saying? I'm on that side. I'm on that side too, though.

Like, I get that. Yeah, I'm on that side. This is what I get too though. I get that. Yeah, I'm on that side. This is what I get too. There's a, what is that called? A whole bunch of rookies and people are coming to try to make a team. A tryout. It was tryouts. So they didn't look good enough to be drafted.

They could have still looked good, but their daddy ain't LeBron. So why didn't he get picked before? Because their daddy ain't LeBron. So why didn't he get picked before? Because their daddy ain't LeBron. I mean, that's what I'm saying. What I'm saying is my daddy didn't have all 50-line picks. No, I did. I did that. I did that. This league is like one person out of 300 million people goes.

So, yeah, that one person is kind of big, man. You know what I'm saying? That spot is kind of big. It's still one pick. That one spot, yeah, that one person's kind of big, man. That spot's kind of big. There's still one pick. There's one spot. Yeah, I know. So the person who got picked behind me probably would have got picked. I'm just saying. What he doing?

I'm just saying, no, I like it. I'm not just saying what he doing. I like it with the business. Is he still in the league? I'd still be with the, you know. No, what I'm saying is he's still in the league, the guy who got drafted, 56. Is he? Or 57? Or 58? Or 59? Because we just going to move that. I never heard, I didn't hear about him.

Of course you didn't. Mm-hmm. Let's just say but why I use that for the Brian when you got like The asses I mean the Nassus and you got like just a holiday. The Nassus was in the league before young Nassus was in the league before y'all. Yes. He was before the league. He's the oldest. Yeah You got holidays how long now but Yeah, but first. Well, the younger someone, you got the holidays. How long now, bud? They play. They play basketball. They play.

They play basketball. Justin Holliday. I'm about to say it. Justin Holliday. He played with me in New York. Justin Holliday played with me in New York. Yeah, but you're talking about. What did you say about Justin Holliday?

I was on the team. I'm just saying. You think. Justin, Justin. Can you be Justin Holliday? One-on-one. Come on, man. Do you know who Justin Holliday is, though?

Swag. I saw Justin Holliday. I was on the team with him. I saw Justin Holliday? One-on-one? Come on, man. Do you know who Justin Holliday is, though? Swag, I saw Justin Holliday. I was on a team with him. I saw Justin Holliday recently. He said, I can do this. I played with Justin. I was on a team with him in Philly. I was there. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. You can beat him, though. Because you said that like some wise. You said, what about these people? I'm just saying. Like, yeah, they got picked. That's a little difference, though. Some of them was in the league first.

They got an extra job. They got an extra bag. But, you know what I mean? Like, but we're talking about the end of the draft where most of those are favors. But after 40, after 45, after 45, those 15 picks are favors. So those are not favors? What? Those, what I just said. I'm talking about the draft, man.

The draft. Listen to us. The draft. The draft. Those guys are just, they're picking. If you look at some of them, I'm picking, you're asking me to pick this guy because they're negotiating stuff. So you're not, you're like, well, he's not an NBA player, but can you, I got my man on the team. Can you draft him so I can use, hey a he got drafted to this team for overseas bag

So most of those guys are not even being drafted to be in the NBA. They're just doing favors for people Hmm so they can get the bag overseas like, you know, just like overseas guy. He enters his name Praying that he gets drafted just to go back so he can go back and say hey, I got drafted by the NBA I'm gonna go i need i need five million that's why you never see some of those overseas draft picks no 45 and up man them guys you gotta really find something special okay um speaking of special uh we'd like to give a shout out to me undies for sponsoring today's podcast me undies unveiling their latest gifts to help men feel big, the Contoured Pouch and Ball Caddy.

Now let's just talk about some balling in general. Suns have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league this season. High expectations entering the season, but they've been on the outside of the playoffs looking in. Kevin Durant has been doing his best to keep his squad in contention for the postseason

and made some history Friday in a much-needed win over the Cavs. Let's take a look at some highlights if we can, Paolo, please. Durant showed why he's still one of the best scorers in the league, putting up 42 points along with six rebounds and eight assists. He was 17 for 29 from the field, four for nine from deep in the game. KD, now the second player in league history to drop a 40 ball on every team in the league, joining, you guessed it, LeBron, Raymond James Sr. Durant also became just the fourth player in NBA history with multiple 40-point games

in his 17th season or later. So in 58 games this season, KD's averaging 27 points, 6 rebounds, 4.4 assists with 53-42, 83 shooting splits. Now, after looking at these highlights, you know I'm a big Austin Reeves fan. I know what you're... But I should. I'll at least consider it. I'll pick the phone up. I'll pick the phone up. Listen, you wouldn't make that trade right now?

Ain't no separation. You'll pick the phone up. Listen, you wouldn't make that trade right now? Ain't no separation. You just talk like. Okay. So, KD, 42-piece. Obviously, we know about the Suns' struggles this season. They're in the 10th spot right now. But does KD deserve more credit for his individual play this season despite the Suns' struggles as a team?

36 years old will be 37 later this year. It's still averaging 27? Yeah. Just F the team. 36 years old will be 37 later this year. It's still averaging 27? Yeah. Just F the team. I mean, yeah, it's just the team. Let's talk about an individual play. Well, I mean, look. Yeah, I mean. I just wanna do that? Let's talk about an individual play?

27. 27 to six. Oh, man. I'm confused because baseball, that's a team sport, right? Right, but if Yoaz is a home run hitter, you lose, you still glorify it as a hero. Mm-hmm.

Different sport. The pitching's not up to par, the fielding, the rest of the team is not. I don't, I'm confused on when, when did, what year did basketball become this thing where no matter how good you are doing, your job is your responsibility for everybody else to do theirs too? So you go out there and you're lifting, but they're not lifting. It's your fault now. Like, so if the team win, they get credit. If the team lose, your fault.

When did that become a real thing? Because I'm pretty sure Jokic ain't been really winning like that, but he's getting credit for the shit he's out there doing. I mean, I'm the main person saying that Shade's winning. That's why Shade's the MVP. Jokic is getting a whole bunch of credit, a whole bunch of stats. They're number two, number two. They're like 16 games behind OKC.

They lost almost 20 more games than them. That's the thing, though. So I've been saying. Kobe was by himself. That's what I'm saying. It depends on who you're talking to. When did it become? Yeah, when Kobe was by himself, though, we was going for it in Kobe, though.

Because he was averaging 36 and shit. Who? And going to the, he was in for it in Kobe, though. Because he was averaging 36 and shit. Who? He was still in the playoffs. When? And they lost to Phoenix. They were still in the playoffs. Them years when Shaq left after that? And Kobe was doing shit like having 64 at the third quarter,

shit like that. Yeah. Averaging 30. It's different. It's different. It's different. So that's okay, but now it's not I'm gonna be gotta be Good. I have something like that's like god damn. He kill it like I don't give a fuck you ever do

You're averaging 27 8 and 6 at 37. Yes That is crazy 764 I just want to keep you honest and accurate, Gil. Huh? Devin Booker averaging 26. Yeah, man. Good shit. Yeah, but Devin Booker is how old, though? But how old is Devin Booker? 26, 27, and 26.

He can't do a shit. Oh. That's why we're around. When he got traded, everybody thought it was a championship team. I know. Now we glorifying him. Now we glorifying the way he does.

We're asking about him individually. We're going to find the play. We're asking, is he playing good? Okay. Yes. Yes, he's playing good. We're asking. He's always playing good.

Okay. That's what we're asking. That's what I'm saying. This is the type of player that's always playing good. Always going to play good. Okay, good. So, are we winning? Are we winning?

Are we? Everybody want to be French now. Are we winning? So, is it his to be French now. Are we winning? So is it his fault that they're losing? No. Okay. But that's a whole other question. All he can do is his job. I'll be a part of it.

I'll be a part of it. I'll be a part of the team. So what about D-Book? What about Bradley Bill? What about the coach? They just don't mesh. I told y'all, stop picking them off. So is it Katie's fault or is it the people who's picking? It's the team's fault. He wanted to go there, too.

It's the team's fault. Front office? I mean, who's... I thought they had a decent angle. I thought it was decent enough. The 2021 season. 2021? Yeah. 22-2?

No, no, no. 2021 season. Oh. 2021? Yeah. 22 and 2? No, no, no. 2021 season. Huh? 30. Was that a good season for him? We don't really have just bad seasons. Yeah, I'm just saying, but was, did anyone question the team losing, but this motherfucker averaging 32?

I ain't gonna lie. They question us every single year. No, no, no. I ain't gonna lie. They question us every single year. No, no, no. I'm talking about him. They literally question us every year. Him, when he averaged 32 that year. And he was getting his ass wet? And he was getting his ass wet.

Did they say, hey, man, Steph is out here losing? No. Steph doing everything he could. They need to find somebody around him. That wasn't the... Yeah, but... Okay, all right.

KD got... All I'm saying is... They weren't just questioning him. No, they wasn't questioning him. What I'm saying is, they question him. They question this year. They question last year. He was third and he threw it by himself. Every year. Every year. What I'm saying is, that year, his team didn't make it to the playoffs.

He was third in MVP votes. I remember that year, yeah. Devin Booker and Bradley Beal wasn't with him. Yeah, that was the year, no fans. He was out there going crazy. Yeah, I'm just saying. We do it when we want to question someone, we do it. When we want to say, yo, this motherfucker out here doing his thing.

We look the other way. Bro, KD is fucking too great to be fucking being two games in front of Portland. I'm not glorifying him. He's not. Look what you said. He's a fucking trash. That shit is weak. You just said he.

He's too great to be doing that. Listen to what he said. He is two games in front of Portland. He's not doing that. If LeBron averaged that and it was the last place, he's not getting glorified. Listen to what you just said. Yes, he's up there. He's up there.

He is two. He's up there. He is two games in front of Portland. You done created the one person. Yes, he is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is. He is two games in front of Portland. You done created the one person that's supposed to win for the whole franchise. Yes, yes. He's too good to be where he is. No.

Devin Booker's averaging 26, 7 assists. Fuck. And then Brad is averaging, like, 18. So whatever KD averages, what KD averages, like 27? 27. So 27, then Debook averages 26, then Brad, he averages 17. Like, 26, then Brand, almost. He average 17.

Like, they have to win, bro. Like, if we could say D-Book by himself, oh, he's doing what he's supposed to be doing. Oh, this person's doing what he's supposed to be doing. Look what you're saying. You're putting a bad narrative around a player who's doing his job when this is a team thing. So is D-Book doing his job?

Yes. But is D-Book doing his job? this is a team thing. So is Deebo doing his job? Yes. But is Deebo doing his job? Yes. Oh, okay, okay, okay. The team itself is just not mashing. So you can't say, nigga, you the reason we losing.

But we say, KD always plays good. Like you said, oh, you're only two games in front of this team. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. No, you can't do that. 20 games. Like, you can't believe

what I'm saying is you can't do that. Okay, see. These guys is doing their. 20 games. What I'm saying is you can't do that. Denver and OKC. These guys is doing their thing. They just, as a unit, they haven't figured out how to play well together as a unit. That's a team thing. That's an organizational thing. That's a coach thing. Finding the right pieces.

That's what that is. I'm not blaming you as an individual. I didn't blame Kobe because this team sucked. I leave my team to wins. If I'm the leader, I get my team to wins. We can try to make that, but say yes, say they got a good piece.

Say it's going to say, oh yeah, we need to win. So he's going to be putting himself in winning situations. The team, the organization is finding pieces around him. A smart organizational team. We're making KD one of them guys that somebody got to score on a bad team. That's what we're doing.

We don't want to make Tracy McGrady. All I can do is what I do when I get out here. Okay. You telling me this is the food I got to cook? I'm trying to cook up a nice-ass meal. Now you're saying you don't like the meal on the groceries you've fucking given me. Am I doing something wrong here?

You're giving me these groceries, and I'm cooking up the best I can with the groceries. But you chose. Do you think it's time for Katie to move on? No. What are we doing? Where's the statue? Where's Katie?

Chose the place. Where's Katie's statue? Where's Katie's statue? Where's Katie's statue? Huh? Where's Katie's statue going to be? His statue? Yeah, where is that at? It's not going to be in... Where do you get his jersey retired at?

OKC for sure. Golden State, I would say. OKC. Yeah, the statue at OKC. OKC. I don't do that. It's too much. OKC. OKC.

You don't think that it's too much Okay sitting with the Warriors yes, but I'm but that's what I'm saying he said he'd be just say uh, we see Think Katie should leave with it. I mean, I'm just saying but y'all keep blaming him and he's doing his job Don't do that. This is what happened with you in that basketball What do you just do that no we didn't we say you got to deal with them folks. What? You just said that. We didn't do that. No, we didn't. We said KD always played good. Oh, okay.

We're saying, but just why aren't they winning? Is it just about individually stats or does winning matter? It depends. Y'all going to switch it up every time. We're talking about Bron winning. We're talking about Bron. Oh, Bron's stats is this. Oh, Bron got four reasons.

Oh, Steph got four reasons. Yeah, but my stats do the So is it about stats or is it about wins at the bar make up your mind? Okay, if you're the main player on the team, right and this year you averaged 30 and The pieces around y'all y'all went to the championship Then I move these pieces around and you come back the next year, average 30, y'all don't make it to the playoffs.

This is your fault? Am I blaming you? They never made it to the championship. Am I blaming you? You're still doing your job. I just mismanaged some pieces that helped you out. I personally thought

that I could upgrade your team. I didn't get my team wins. But what I'm saying is... I've always been that tight But I'm trading the pieces that you won with thinking I can upgrade it and it didn't work for you But you upgraded with KD Again, so you so you got to still keep maneuvering because okay because KD was who do you want to blame? But are you blaming say Are you blaming Booker?

No one's blaming Booker. They gave him KD. He's not making it work. Why is the hired gun the problem now? Why can't they win? Why can't they win? Why aren't they winning this? I think their pieces are good.

That's what I'm saying. No, they're not. One-on-one player. When you got Miles, when you got Mason, which one is it? Mason Plumlee. When you got Mason and Nick Richards and Bobo, them type down there, you don't want an AD. You want those type niggas. Because you got to give D-Book the ball.

You got to give Brad the ball. You got to give KD the ball. You can't be throwing it down to the post, letting them wait, watch, and see what AD doing with the ball. No, you need Nick Richards to throw that mug out and come set a screen and roll, get an alley. Maybe Mason. This one's about pieces again. You got a Grayson Allen over here. These are good pieces.

What do y'all need to win? Where's the point guard? Where's the point guard? D. Book is averaging seven assists. But that's a problem. That's enough. That's enough. Because Bradley Bue. But Brad is a point guard. D book is averaging seven assists. But that's a problem. That's a no. That's a no. Because Bradley Bue.

But Brad is a point guard. That's the same. Brad's a point guard? You see the problem? It's the same two. I think that's Jones, though. It's the same two pieces. Ty is Jones, too.

Comes off the bench. These two main pieces are the same. So one needs to pick and roll, manipulate, do his thing. He don't got it. He passes to the next one who needs to do the same thing. Right? That's a confliction right there. But so I would trade one of them. What I'm saying is ouch, but he don't got it, he passes to the next one who needs to do the same thing. Right? That's a confliction right there. So I would trade one of them.

What I'm saying is, ouch, but they don't. But talent wins. They don't. I would rather trade one of those pieces for just a pure catch and shoot guy. But they can do that. He can, but he's not. Just like when KD

came to you guys, y'all have a motion where Curry don't need the ball. He can run around, Klay can run around, KD can play iso. Then when KD's running around, 30 can play pick and roll iso. So they moved in different realms that didn't clash. They're clashing in their realm. It's like having Shaq and Ewing.

Sounds great, but they both run into the damn same block. The other one can't play on the other block. So they both trying to run to the same block, clashing. That's all. I weigh some of that, though. If you're a one-on-one player and I'm a

one-on-one player and he a one-on-one player, god'm a one-on-one player and he's a one-on-one player, god damn it, we in trouble. We're both, we're all trying to do the same thing. What was Brian D. Wade? Brian was a point guard. D. Wade was a slashing dive guard. And then Kyrie's

the one-on-one guy who can catch a shoot. Brian took the ball out of D. Wade's hands. But somehow they figured it out, right? One became the point guard. D-Wade not coming off screens and shit. If you look at the season, the first 16 games, LeBron and D-Wade, right, then you had Mike Bibby, right? They were 8-8.

The reason it was 8-8? Because they made LeBron the traditional three, meaning his speed is stopped. So that means we got to give him the ball. Now he has to try to create his speed. Didn't work. Against us, the Wizards, is when they shifted LeBron to the point. Mike Bibby's the two, the three in a sense for the offense itself. So Bron's coming, right?

D-Wade is now the zipper guy, and then you got the guard over there in the shooting spot. So now that guard became just a shooter while LeBron became the point guard. Didn't they have a trauma or something? That's what I'm thinking. The following, that was the next year. So the year they lost, they had Bibby.

But they were struggling. Then they got Thomas, spot-up shooter. All they did was just switch Bron and Bibby, and then they won 23 games straight. Oh, what's the difference between Jones and Thomas? Because who's Braun? Tyrus Jones. Because Tyrus Jones is a point guard.

He wants to be point guard. Right. He wants to manipulate. Mark Thomas in the corner. He wants to manipulate all of it. Tyrus has to be a point guard. And that's why Colby and Gary Pay're holding have to be and that's why Colby and Gary Payton was clashing because Gary Payton you know I'm going

as those debug Katie yeah that's good that's how leader perfect Bobo Katie don't have to go one-on-one he can't but that's what I'm saying can't he's the element that stays yes now now what I'm saying. He catches the shoes a lot. He's the element that stays. Yes. Now what I'm saying is, what Devin Booker is, same thing. They want to be the point. They want to manipulate. But D. Book will go straight to guard. But he don't. That's different from Brad.

Kyrie and Luka. Don't talent shine. Like, talent. I guess we're not. Yeah, but Kyrie's a guy that don't need the ball. Oh, he don't need the ball. Like, what I'm saying is, he's a quick... No, no, no.

What is going on? Listen, Kyrie played with LeBron James. Who needed the ball? They go one. If you ever look at the offense and Kyrie, both of them did the same thing. Kyrie sits on one side where the other one tries it.

Give it to Kyrie, then he goes. That was the same look LeBron had. Boom, boom, same thing. Kyrie sits on one side where the other one tries it. He doesn't give it to Kyrie. Then he goes. That was the same look LeBron had. Boom, boom. Same look LeBron and Luka has. Right. You manipulate. Give it. If I don't have it, I manipulate. Right. So it's the other. Hold up. Hold up. It's the other piece. Austin Reeves plays with the ball. Same thing. But that's what I'm saying. I'll take Austin Reeves. Austin Reeves, D.R. Smith. I'll take Austin Reeves and replace him. Austin Reeves, D.R. Smith. I'll take Austin Reeves

and replace him with Bradley Beal. It works better. It's a player's style. Chris Webber and A.I. They both wanted that same elbow. It clashed.

Look at Ty and KD get in the corner, right? That's what you just said. What? You said when Luka got the ball, KD get in the corner, right? That's what you just said. What? You said when Luka got the ball, Kyrie get in the corner. When Luka, Kyrie, he's on the side. But can't they do the same thing? They can, but they're not.

There's a difference between can and they're not doing it. They're not doing it. That's the right. If they were doing it, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. But it's the offensive issue. It's like Suns eighth in offensive rating but 26th in defensive rating. I'm just saying. Because they just got scores.

The offense is the problem. They can't stop nobody from scoring. This is what's going to be the problem with the Lakers. This is the problem always when you've got a superstar team. When you've got three people, we're not all playing defense. Why? Why? Superstar.

This is the same problem with the Lakers. Because I'm sure. I already know we're not all playing defense. I'm wide. Wide. Superstar. I'm already done. This is the same problem with the Lakers. Because I'm sure... I already know where they was running defense. I told you, because they were clogging the paint. People just... 13th in defensive writing right now for the season. It's like this.

Where's Golden State? No, I'm just saying, no, they was even number one, like, since the Luka trade. That's what I'm saying, bro. People just coming out there, they're like... Golden State's seventh. They might be nervous. Golden State's seventh? Defense?

Seventh in defensive writing. Yeah, watch your mouth, man. They might be nervous. Yeah, we just'm saying, bro. People just coming out there, they're like... Golden State 7. They might be nervous. Golden State 7? Defense? 7th and defense. Yeah, watch your mouth. They might be nervous. Yeah, we just did something, too. We did something. We just did something. We did something. We did something.

Yeah, we did something. But no, I'm saying, they was like high, though, because they were clogging the paint. But I told you, niggas out there like, oh, shit, Luka out here. Oh, it's Juan out here. It's like a mind thing. But now they're like, wait, this is they like, wait, this is Luca. Wait, this is Bronco. Let me cook.

What am I doing? Let me cook. So that's why clogging the paint. They clogging the paint. It got them messed up last game. I'm sick of this shit. Worry about your goddamn team. Nah, we.

Don't y'all got problems over there? Nah, we got problems. You worried about your team. You talking about y'all always need somebody. Y'all need a big man. Let us hit one. Give us Jackson Hayes. Y'all not going over there? No, we got problems. You worried about your children. You talking about y'all always need somebody? Y'all need a big man? Let us get one. Give us Jackson Hayes. Y'all not going to do it.

Give us Jackson Hayes. I don't know what to do. He going to catch so many allies. Y'all not going to do it. He going to catch so many allies. I don't know what to do with y'all big man, man. Y'all offense is made for three guards. That's Steve Kerr, man.

No. That is the goddamn Arizona Wildcat offense, brother. If we had a big guy in that offense, that's for us moving around. We don't need anybody over six, nine. If we had a big guy in that pitch, Alex Biguchi. We don't anybody over 6'9". I know, that's actually bad. We ain't looking at no big guy. We in trouble?

Yeah, you guys in trouble. So, sticking with the Suns, let's talk a little Bradley Beal. Beal missed the last three games while dealing with the hamstring issue. Made some recent comments that are worth discussing. So, Beal was the subject of trade rumors earlier this season. But he's, of course, one of two players in the league with a no-trade clause, joining LeBron James once again. Been a strange season for Bill.

Been asked to come off the bench at times, playing 15 games as a reserve this season. So when asked about how he currently feels about being part of the Suns, here's what Bill said. We have the quote for you. He said, still playing in the NBA, I still have the best job in the world, and I still have my no-trade clause said, I'm still playing in the NBA. I still have the best job in the world. And I still have my no trade clause.

So I'm smiling every day. Damn. Do you understand why Bradley Bill is smiling? Through it all. Even if he didn't have a trade clause, right, you're going to be smiling in the motherfucking way. You're in the NBA, getting paid, and then you're going to go to somebody that can hopefully use you making 50 million dollars this season

54 million next season player option 57 million in the 26 27. I'll be smiling too shit fuck what y'all talking about? Yeah, they gonna be the third I see I got a refocus wait wait they gave him 50 and they're losing no They didn't give me shit motherfucker. I got I see I got a refocus wait wait they gave him 50 and they're losing They didn't give me shit motherfucker I got this before I got here Alright check your shit in I'm forgot on the walker here we gonna fit this in this Yeah, but would he say that if he didn't have his no trade clause you think he'll still say that I get paid No, I'm saying it right if he didn't have the no trade the money yet, but he'd be saying that money Yeah saying that remember of the heat or somewhere

Yeah, but far as like saying that no trick is if he didn't have a no trade clause He wouldn't I don't think he'll say that like that must be trying to try You know for real because you don't want to just go anywhere He was the Permitted that one is up in Portland. I fit my 50 still working pulling They got them all important right no sales tax go to Portland state of Oregon they get up in Toronto Mm. Yeah, I need to go to Portland. The state of Oregon. See, get up in Toronto. Yeah, I don't want to go to Toronto. See? No, I'm just saying,

but like, getting in and out, like that is overseas, so that phone bill is different. Yeah. Right, it's just... You got $50 million, you're worried about the phone bill? Hell yeah.

Okay. You're paying like a rich crazy fan. See, now the 50, see? See? See, because no trade clause. Yeah, because now your broke friends, they talking about their bill. Hey, hey, man, my bill done ran up a little bit. I need a little pocket money.

That little extra thousand. Right? People think that just because you make $50 million, you want to pay their bills. You get the fuck out of here, dawg. They got to go through that. That is what people think. You know what I'm just saying? That is what people think.

Little shit irritate a motherfucker like, yeah, I need like $500, man. That shit be adding up. You done realize you done gifted a motherfucker 40,000 this month. Right. Right? Right, because no bullshit, it always seems like when someone asks for money, it's like a fucking train. Yeah. Like these motherfuckers go to a group.

to have to wait it out in Phoenix and get all his bread? Bradley Bill? I think he's only 30. Or probably less than that. Bradley Bill is 31 years old. Oh my god. He hasn't even started. I thought he's only 30. Or probably less than that. Bradley Bill is 31 years old. Oh, my God. I thought he was my age. He hasn't even started his career yet.

He's turned 32 in June. Oh, he good, too. You know what it is, man, too? Like, I think... Because it's always... Like, he's been out. He's been hampered for these little neck injuries.

Hamstring, thigh, like, little shit like that, man. It's like at this point, you see Braun, year 22, what he looked like. You see Kevin Durant. You see Curry, right? You got to now understand my body is more important than my training in a sense. Right? I got to, you know, just like our cars, every 3,000 miles get oil changed.

That used to be. Now you might have to get that motherfucker changed at 150 miles. 1,500 miles. Right? 1,500 miles is going to save me some shit. Well, I think it's extended now, Gil. So it used to be like 3,000 miles.

Now you can go about 7,500 thanks to synthetic oil. All right, you can get it. Synthetic oil. Synthetic oil. Y'all keep trying. Go to Jiffy Lube and ask those niggas. And then Gil's like, all right, y'all try this. I'm 1,500.

Get this shit up out of here. Get this shit up out of here. 1,500 miles. I'm about to pop out of here. The light got a little weak. The light got a couple of them. The light got a couple of them. They got to start shaking a little. Oh yeah. And that's what's up with these players. They waiting for the light

to come on. It's your way. Come and get it, man. The shit on the side of the road don't work no more. I did have to get my car jumped, but thanks to your security team they had the jumper cab. Was pretty shaked up. Was able to make it home safe. Yeah, my mate back out there dead in a motherfucker, man, for about two months.

I mean, ain't no miles going on it. Dead is crazy. Just because you ain't drunk. Ain't no miles going on this shit. It's right there comfortable. It's dark? No, it's dead. Why, because you ain't drunk with it?

I could drive it around for you. It's dead. I could get a jump and drive it for you. Jump it? I can get a jump. My dog. I still need a... This is 2021 tag zone, so I ain't even been driven.

You still got to get 100 miles before you can get a small check. So I haven't driven at 100 miles in four years. Because you're avoiding the small check. You don't need to go to jail? I don't need my house, brother. The fuck I need to go 100 miles for? The fuck is out there? It's a dangerous world outside these gates,

I will tell you that. It's tucked up at the target. But uh, let's talk about it. I was one of the only people that didn't even know COVID was going on. Because you wasn't doing shit anyway. He been living in a house for so long, he don't think nothing wrong. What the fuck is going on out here?

Start seeing white people walk around. I've never seen my neighbors. Hey, how you doing? Like, oh. Got bass on. Hey, got bass on. Man, did you get your shots? Shit, Netflix and ordering in.

Shit, you miss a lot of shit that's going on in the world. I can tell you that for sure. So we talked about the Suns getting that much-needed win against the Cavs, but now let's talk about Cleveland. Fresh offsetting a franchise record with 16 straight wins, the Cavs experienced their worst losing streak of the season, dropping four straight games to the Magic, Clippers, Kings, and Suns. Cavs got back on the right track Sunday.

What's up, Swaggy? I wanted to say, do you think they're going to make the playoff before he went to that? Kings, and Suns. Cavs got back on the right track Sunday. What's up, Swaggy? I wanted to say, do you think they're going to make the playoffs before we went to that? The Suns. They're playing. They're 10th right now. I have the tiebreaker over the Mavs. A 10?

34 and 37. Six games. Who's not? Look at their last game. Hold on. So their last 11 games, 10 of those games are against playoff teams. Crazy lineup. They got, what, two games against the Bucs,

two games against the Celtics, Wolves, and then the Lakers. As long as that's like the last four or five games. So Gil, what was your point? Who was nine? Nine is currently the Sacramento Kings. Oh, yeah, that'd be... They got a game and a half lead over the Suns.

Could be playing for that home court advantage in that first playing game. So they got to beat the Kings, and then after them. They got to come to Milwaukee. So they could get the Kings. Then after that, it'll be either the Timberwolves or Clippers. That's shaping up right now. Yeah, they need that power.

I ain't thinking about the Timberwolves. You said they're not getting that? They just beat the Timberwolves twice. I know, but that's rough. It's just a rough two matchups to play. Anything can happen in the playoffs, man. It's just a rough two matchups to play. All right. Anything can happen in the playoffs, man. That's a fact.

For real. Get matched up with the right team. But they're not doing nothing. Let's shift it over to the top team in Adam Silver's Eastern Conference. So a fresh off center franchise record with 16 straight wins. Cavs experienced their worst losing streak. They dropped four straight games.

I already mentioned the teams. Got back on the right track Sunday with a win over the Jazz in Utah. But let's go back to the Suns game. Donovan Mitchell had his worst game of the season, finishing with just seven points while going two for 18 from the field, 0 for 8 from three, and 31 minutes of action. But the Cavs' number one option was more than willing to accept the blame for the team's loss, saying this after the game.

I'm going to put this on me. Like, when your leader ain't doing shit, this is what happens. You know, yeah, we have to guard better rebounds, shit like that, but if I'm not being who I need to be, then we're not going to get to where we want to get to. So until that happens and it will but until that happens yeah so this is me if you have anywhere to point it's right here look guys have off nights why don't you give yourself any grace when that happens it's been like this for the past four games and we've lost four straight i have to be better simple as that you can point to all these

different things yeah like katie having 30-whatever we give him. Fuck all that. It's on me. I have to be better for the group. I've been good for the group all year, and this is on me. So I'll start with you, Mr. B. Do you respect Cavs' number one option, Donovan Mitchell, for taking accountability for his poor play during the Cavs' four-game losing streak.

Yeah. I mean, he's been playing well. They've been playing well all year. And then, you know, this is towards the second half of the season. Postseason's coming up. Four-game losing streak. So, yeah, him taking the blame for it. Yeah, like you said, the leader.

When the leader ain't doing shit, what you expect to happen? So you definitely got to respect that, him calling himself the leader, him knowing that he has to be better. So, you know, you don't want to, you know, take this over to the postseason. So I respect it. What's your rocket with Donovan Mitchell being accountable for the Cavs' four-game losing streak? Yeah, I like it, man.

Two for 18, 0 for 8 from the three. Can't really get worse. You know, you can't really get worse than that. So him taking accountability, that's what he's supposed to do. This is back to what I'm saying about being, you know, being a leader. He's not doing what he's supposed to do to win. So even if he's averaging 30, if he's not doing what he's supposed to do to get us wins, then the leader takes accountability.

They don't just say, I averaged 30. Who says that? I want a leader. Who does do that? I know, I know. So who says that? Mm-hmm. Who says that they just average something and...

What, I see you pointing in this direction of the comment. No, I'm just saying, he took good accountability. I like it. He does what a leader's supposed to do. If we lose, you know. I do wonder that. I wonder if you ask, like, KD, are you the reason they lose? I wonder what somebody would say.

Like, what he would say. Like, if I asked 30, 30, you had 30 for the night. Are you the reason y'all lose? Yeah, you going to? Who's the leader? Who's the leader on Golden State? It's called professionals. The leader? Yeah? Who's the leader on Golden State? It's called professionals.

The leader? Yeah. Who's the leader on Golden State? It's different leaders. You got the, the, the, the. No, who's the leader? Who's the guy? The leader?

Because Donald Rich said he's the leader. The leader's the, the person who's drawing all that gravity out there. But you got your vocal leader. You got your, like Draymond's obviously the vocal leader. Like literally, but Steph, Steph's not gonna talk. But on the court, you know who, you know who the leader is, the best player ever. So you don't have to talk to be the leader. No.

Right, right, right. So you're playing the game. Mind you, I'm watching from the couch and I'm watching from the arena. I don't know what Steph say when he's over there. I've seen Steph go to the crowd. Steph talk. I've seen him talk, but he's not going to be as vocal as what you call him. He's not about to be in the interviews.

He might give you something once every while. Then you'll be like, oh, this guy is crazy. You know what I'm saying? But he's not really going to be... So a vocal leader and a what you call leader is different. But Steph is obviously the leader. Sometimes it comes in both. Sometimes it's separated.

But you don't think the way KD approaches the game is a leader? What are you asking me? Because you're talking about guys being leaders, and you're saying guys just talking about numbers, and you're pointing at him. No, because we did the thing earlier about the points. About KD? Yeah, about KD, right. So you don't think KD's approach to the game is like leadership?

What is his approach to the game? Watching film every day, practicing every day. I think his approach is like chill. I think his approach is like chill. Because he said you don't have to be vocal. KD's not vocal. Yo-Kid is not vocal. Right.

But his play. We pick and choose. That's what I'm saying. We pick and choose. But has he ever gotten into somebody's face? Why does he need to? Who? KD?

Have you seen it? Yeah. Are you talking about the team? Yeah. I have you ever gotten to like somebody face. Why does he need to who? Okay, see that. Yeah. Yeah, I'm saying it's my I was on the team. Yeah, I mean, I mean I mean I mean you've been on the team with like going through that playoff series He talks shit when he needs to but for the most part. Oh, it is he plays the game. Mm-hmm I'm talking about like vocal like, you know, when you go to him Duncan never said a motherfucking word Hey defense a we need to be helping out. Tim Duncan never said a word. I don't know. I know what I'm saying. Seeing KD, you don't think he's ever with the Warriors.

I don't think he'd be talking, though. You don't think he'd say false. No, but I'm saying behind the scenes. But they just think KD not saying nothing behind the scenes. Yes, he is. He's never saying something, but I don't really know. We're judging him because he don't get mad. So we're judging him because he's a professional.

Because he doesn't do what Donovan Mitchell just did. So you said professionals don't get mad? You know what I'm saying? Because he's the ultimate, he don't get mad. He says the right things. So that's not a professional now, right? No, it's not being mad. What Donovan Mitchell does is exactly what you do, right?

You had a bad game. This is my fault. We've been losing. Even though his numbers has been good, those losses, but he's taking responsibility because that's what he's supposed to do. See, I mean, we don't know how he would think if we don't take from him having 30 and then saying this. You know what I'm saying?

Because nobody's going to see it. Him having seven and they asking, do you take accountability to it? Yeah, I take accountability. I was off. You had 30. Like, do you think your 30 wasn't enough? Yeah, it wasn't enough. Now I need to see what he's saying.

He's going to say the same thing. It wasn't enough. I still got to do better, man. This is not about individual accolades. He's doing what he's saying. He said he wanted to be gold next year. Wait, what? It's KD.

He don't want to be there. We're not talking about KD. Oh, KD don't want to be there next year? No. We're talking about Donovan Mitchell. We're talking about Donovan Mitchell. And the concept of if KD's a leader. Yeah, that was the whole concept.

Because basically he was trying to say because of what Donovan Mitchell said when guys average the points because of what you said. No one's going to go out there and say, yeah, I'm averaging 30. Yeah, these motherfuckers suck. Because when he was scoring 28 and he was losing, we need to get better. We need to do more.

I need to do more. That's the political thing to say. When Kobe was averaging 37, these motherfuckers losing. Oh, man, I just got to do more. I got to get these guys in shape. I'm not doing my job. That's what Jesus said. I ain't going to lie. I have heard somebody say that before.

I can't think of who it was, but I'm gonna find the clip of somebody saying, man, I'm doing what I'm supposed to. Oh, that's a commercial, Bud Light commercial. Mm. No, that's NBA. That's NBA. That's bad PR. That's bad PR. Yeah, that's NBA, but somebody said it.

You can't say the shit. You're gonna always say the shit that you want to fucking hear. Mm. You know what I mean? the shit that you want to fucking hear. You know what I mean? You have a bad game and they win. Great team win, man. We all did our thing. Imagine the motherfucker over there.

Motherfucker. Let that have been two for 18 and they won. This is a great team win, right? Yeah, you know, we all did. Everybody, you know, did the heavy lifting and all that, you know? Been sitting there, motherfucker, just... Trying to get this MVP, dog. Some people like that, dog. Some people like that.

And you just be like, man, he about to fuck it up, bro. As soon as you hear a nigga say, good team win, Matt! That was our locker room. That was our locker room. That was our locker room. That was our locker room. Just listen to, listen. When you see someone, the best player, have a bad game, but they win, 100% great team win.

Mm-hmm. It is a good team win. It's a good team win. Because our players stepped up. Yeah. Because our players stepped up. And we're pretty sure they didn't had like 30, 30 something like that. Finally.

Because then the rumors starts, you know, everybody in the locker room, man, see, when he start acting, start playing like that, we get our touches. How we start winning. That's just how it is. That's it. Hey, man, you know, swing that thing over here. We have a 16 here.

Yeah, yeah. See, it ain't always about you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's egos in that locker room. That's what I said. That's what I said. The egos are, you miss two weeks, they start winning. Oh, it's over.

Hey, man, I'm just saying. Can't come back until they lose. That's what I said. Can't come back until they lose. You know the rules. Until they lose. The captain back. I mean, now they're saying that about Grimes right now.

Huh? What's his name? Nihan? Yeah, George Nihan. Did you see him about Grimes right now. Huh? What's his name? Nehang? George, yeah, George Nehang. Did you see him in Grimes? Yeah, very different spectrum. You wouldn't be doing that if Yoel was here. You'd be in the corner right around there.

I've been popping shit for like four days. Wait, you said that? The whole team ain't? Yeah, during, no, they're playing each other. You know little George Nehang, whatever he is, he has been split-kacking everything. That thing ain't missing. But he said to Grimes, he was like, doing this cuz Joel not cuz this person now because the dinner you ain't one Right if Joel was here you'd be in the corner. Yeah, I reach maximum

That's cool, that's cool, but he ain't here. Yeah, what you gonna do? Yeah I'm popping your shit right now. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I don't know. I-I... Listen, I don't know. Y'all got a little weird... Y'all got a weird organization, I'm telling you. Y'all got some weirds going on, man. You know what it is? Every single day you go in a locker room, you're-you're trying to elevate from where you are. If you're the sixth man, you're trying to figure out

how to get to be a starter. If you're the third option, you're trying to figure out how to become the number two. The number two trying to be the sixth man, you're trying to figure out how to be a starter. If you're the third option, you're trying to figure out how to become the number two. The number two trying to be the number one, right? So everything is jazzed. You're trying to find weakness. I'm trying to find weakness in your team. There's rarely where you have someone who's really accepting their role.

That's rare. But that's the teams that be with it. Right? Like OKC? Spurs. Back in the day. Golden State? the teams that be. Women. Right? Like OKC. Spurs. Back in the day. Golden State. Dynasty.

Spurs. Yeah. I can say for the most part, Boston. Okay. Like if Boston really had a divide, they wouldn't have been winning. But you can tell that they really know who's rolling. We're trying to divide. I think they're good. I think we're... But I don't... I think they're good.

I think they're good. I don't know. I don't know what Jalen thinks when he goes to sleep or what J.T. thinks when he goes to sleep. But the world's really trying to divide. For how they play, they don't play like they're divided. Yes, they cool. All right, so before we go to mostly fans,

you guys have been talking about 30 off-show, wedging him into the conversation. Let's give 30 some love. So Steph Curry's hit some incredible shots during his NBA career, but recently he took it to a whole nother level before the Warriors game against the Raptors. Let's take a look at this.

So you can already see he nailed his beyond full court tunnel shot. Shot so unbelievable it appeared to be fake at first. I still have to try to get confirmation. That's AI. Damn air bender. Multiple angles of the shot. Through that mud. That way that mud came back.

Airbender. That's what you got. That's your curve. That's what you got. Different angles dropped, confirming its legitimacy. Dalton Johnson, also a member of the Warriors broadcast team, confirmed the passage as Italy had that low angle. But it did go in. It did go in. So I seen the video of somebody saying it just hit the net. So Steph thought, I think, initially that it just hit the net.

He didn't realize that it went in. But they told him that the shot did go in. But like I said, I am a hater, so I do not believe it, Steph. Nah, he does that before every practice. Before practice, you got to make a half-court shot to start practice. It's crazy. But what do you want to hate on, man? No, it...

I don't, but to be honest with you, I don't care about that. You ever just look at a motherfucker and just be like... He blessed, huh? How? What the fuck do you... It's like you just threw that back. How are you good at everything?

Yeah, I know. You got certain people like that, bro. You got humans that's really like that. I'm telling you. You got like good humans and blessed humans. Like, you don't know. Like, you see how you got that little dude with the jukebox? You got like blessed humans.

It's like, yo, what the fuck, man? Even when he be doing this shit. They don't do nothing, but he's blessed. When he be doing this shit. Uh, uh. Oh, yeah. I know. And I just be sitting there like.

I know. I know. He a good dude, man. Who the fuck are you really? He a good dude, man. Who is you are you really? He a good dude, man. Who is you? Them got no followers. Why you good at golf?

All that shit. Why you golf good? You hit no like, what the fuck? Oh, yeah, I seen him golf up in Lake Tahoe. All-star, he had the, um, what kind of event we have? It was a little upscale event. What the hell was it? Gentleman's Club.

Gentleman's, Gentleman's Club. Everybody else, they turned up Five purveyors their steps in gentlemen's club Cigars yeah, well cigars I'll take you but gentlemen have one of our favorite beverages mr. B. Oh, yeah, we got here, too Also known as crash out And that was crazy you think that could be a been QB? Listen man, you gotta say I played golf live. Unbelievable. Even when he shoots sometimes, I just be like damn dog. But good people get blessed like that. Play ping pong.

Who played ping pong? I played them in ping pong. You really good at this. Bear pong? I mean, you good at putting that ball in that basket. Mr. B, you tried your best, though. Would anyone be tougher to beat in horse than Steph, current NBA player? I mean, somebody could do that, too, though. The last time they played horse, that last time they played horse all-star weekend beat anyone.

It's luck, but it's good. It's luck, but it's good. I'm sorry. This shit's just impressive. I know, but that's not really I'm sorry. It's just I know but that's not really This is impressive man. Yeah, he's strongest a Song is here, but like what's next? They gonna throw the motherfucker from the love like this the bitch gonna bounce and then go in that's the shit They ain't gonna lie one wanna be able to do that too. I'm jealous

I'm trying to be able to do that too. I'm jealous, is all I'm saying. Sounds like jokes. I'm jealous. I'm jealous of these. I'm jealous, man. All right, damn. OK. OK. At this point, yeah, damn. I don't know how many shots he's shooting, but god damn, it's enough. Yeah, yeah.

I don't want to see another video. He's going to start doing this shit with his left hand. He did do a Kobe fade the other day from half. And then, yeah. What can he do? So we talked about that shot Steph made before the Raptors game. Unfortunately, during the game, Steph left after landing hard on his back. Oh, yeah.

He did. What? Flagrant. He missed. I think he did it to himself. But missed the Warriors next game. Did travel to meet the Dubs in Miami as Jimmy Butler-Gassett. Of course. For his first game against his former team on Tuesday.

He's not going to Miami. So, I'm going to support Jimmy? No, I'm just kidding. So, that was Oklahoma City. It's my first day. The one game all year. He tells Boo, I got to go support Jimmy in Miami his first game back.

Got to go to South Beach and support it. Still unclear when Chef Curry will return to court. So how concerned should the Warriors fans be about Curry? We concerned.

I'm concerned. I'm extremely concerned. Steve Kerr said he could've came back in that game, but it looked like a very nasty phone. Nah, it's probably one of them stingers,

but that shit hurt, bro. You know, that little spot right there, that's a bad spot, bro. That's a bad spot. I can tell when he landed, he just said, oh. And when I'm like, oh, yeah. He was already having back problems.

He was already had back problems in the half room. He probably could have came back, but that adrenaline would have brought him back. Then he would have been hurting at night. Right. What Brian be doing at the game? That's what he need to do. So what Brian do? So y'all cook. Being a good boy. Right. Yeah, y'all cooked. What Brian be doing at the game? That's what he need to do. So y'all cooked. Look what Brian do.

So y'all cooked. Being a good. He be like, we not cooked, though. Did we win without him? We won without him. We won without him, but we can't win, you know, long without him. He'll be back. We just win a few games.

Damn, broke his ass at 32. Broke his ass. Broke? His ass broke. It happened. It might be a long time before his ass broke. Warriors lost that game to the Hawks the next game. How your ass feel, Mr. Jones?

Bro, why y'all saying it like that? It ain't really the ass. It's the... The tailbone. Broke back. Oh, the tailbone. That's even worse. Yeah, that's even...

That shit hurt. Ass bone. Yeah, that shit hurt. Medical? As long as it ain't his wrist, we good. The ass bone. Yeah, as long as it ain't his wrist. The ass bump. As long as it ain't his wrist, we good. Because he got to run, I think, when your ass hurts.

I know. Mm. When your ass hurts. A little icy hot, a little backpack, heat pack, go out there, come back, heat pack again. First shot. Yeah, take the shot. Take the shot, man.

Take the shot. Warriors got the heat tomorrow. They got the Pelicans on Friday. Spurs Sunday, so he has a little time to get back right. And then next week, Thursday, he's got the Lakers. Why you should have added them with them other niggas? You should have added them. You shouldn't have bucked them up.

I'm saying we're going to. Say it again. Pelicans. Different game. Say it again. Different game. So they've got the Heat tomorrow, which is Tuesday. Got the Pelicans on Friday in New Orleans.

Got the Spurs Sunday in San Antonio. Then they have the Grizzlies in Memphis on Tuesday. On Tuesday. And then they play this Wednesday? And then Thursday they come. Oh, they get a day off? The Staples. Lucky.

They got to travel from Memphis, though. Hold on. Wait, wait. Y'all play Andrew Wiggins? Wiggins just had 42. Wiggins had 42. Oh, so he don't have like... See, he might try to go for a 50 or a down. He might, so he don't have like. See, he might go for 50.

He might try to go for 50 on that one. He might have like seven or eight. Nah. Nah, he ain't going to. Nah. Man, you think Jimmy, you think you about to. You know what Jimmy about to do in that building? Nothing.

Oh, my God. I don't know. I'm not. If I'm, I'm not playing, y'all. That's fine. He got get back. Wiggins, Wiggins just had 42. Get back.

I mean, Jimmy, Jimmy's another. Who do you think got more anger in that game? Wiggins or Jimmy? Wiggins. Whoiggins to have 42. This is called get back in with anger. Who you think got more anger in that game, Wiggins or Jimmy? Who's going to shoot more? Jimmy's going to take max 15 shots. Max. No, not there. No, no, no, no. Jimmy's going to take max 15 shots. Wiggins shooting at least over two.

I have a point to prove. I said Jimmy. I have a point to prove. What? Wiggins is more mad. I'm more mad. They traded a champion. He already done did it.

I'm a champion. How you trade me? He already did it. Wait. Man, how you trade me? I hope Wigg ain't talking like that. I hope he is talking. He just had 42. I hope he talking like that.

He just had 42. I'm going to tap him. Well, yes, he did. He probably might miss this next game. No, he ain't. No, he ain't. No, he ain't. No, Wiggins is going to shoot that shit 30 times.

And I'm here to see it. Jimmy's going to take max 15 shots, I'm telling you. Who? Jimmy's going to take max 15 shots. Take them lower. It feels like winning. Lower shot attempts, have y'all heard? I mean, you don't feel like Wiggins feels disrespected, too?

Shit. Yeah, fuck. He's Canadian, though. Shit, I bought a ring here. I got something to prove, too. What I got? Tyler Hero. That's Canadian though. Shit, I bought a ring here. Your bro got something to prove too. Who? I bought a Got Tire Hero. Got something to prove to who?

To Jimmy. First of all, a Tire Hero is just nice. He nice. It's like when you got traded. That one just pissed your ass. When Gil was traded, Swaggy, you took that person? Yeah. You stole all his shoes?

Fuck, Gil left that game. How long Gil got you traded? No, no, no, I got Gil traded. You got his... Okay. That's how it really is. Hey, underdog, why the fuck is... Why is AD... Why is Anthony Davis in here?

Oh. He played in the G League, eh? No, I'm just saying, why is he in this playoff thing? Hey, yo, he is in the G League. He is in the G League, eh? No, I'm just saying, why is he in this playoff thing? He is in the G League. He is in the G League. Yeah. He got assigned to the G League. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He did go down.

Got assigned to the G League. Mavs having a roster issue right now, so they may just activate him, let him chill on the bench, but just so they can say they got the appropriate number of players. They need eight players. I'm just saying, why is he active in here? Because Mavs still in the playoff contention. You never know. No, but no, man. Y'all know it's like four- Steph was in the G League, though... Because the Mavs still don't play off contention. Good, you never know. No, but no, man.

It was the one time where I was going to shoot the ball, and I thought the whole game, passing the ball to one time where I was going to shoot the ball, and I thought the whole game passing the ball to these sorry-ass players just to prove a point. That was the strangest thought. Your strangest thought was I should pass the ball to these sorry-ass players. Yeah, it was like because they were saying I need to pass the ball,

and I really was thinking the whole game, like, I'm really passing the ball to these sorry-ass motherfuckers. Is any one of these sorry-ass niggas on the couch right now? No. I scored seven points that game, man. We had to have a team meeting. It was my first year in Washington. So it wasn't on the team then, yeah.

Nigga, you was DM. So you was in it? Nigga, what? So you was in it for me? Too late now. Yeah, it's too late now to joke hit. You gonna chop that up, send that out. You can answer for real now.

Strangest thing is just sitting next to Gil, like, what the fuck you gonna say next? Do I gotta slap the shit out of him or should I keep my money? That would be the strangest thought that came to my head. Gives Arena kind of like a game, so I understand. Nah, it's just a lot of shit.

I know how far he goes, so if I play with him, should I tell that joke about him? But if I do, he might shoot my tires out or some shit. So I just got shit like that in my head. OK. And the day.

See, I wasn't going to bring up that day. Too late the joke hit, dog. It's already getting cut up as we speak, dog. You got to tell, bro. It's too late, man. It's too late. You wasn't fast enough, man. She wasn't fast.

She looked normal, though. She wasn't fast enough, man. She wasn't fast. She looked normal. She wasn't. It wasn't. She had to come back ready, baby. She was. That was. You're usually quick with chores. You just got caught off guard.

That's all. Yeah. I got caught by Josiah with the masturbator. I got caught. I was a little caught off guard. You got me. Got caught master betting. You're on Gills Arena presented by Underdog Wobbles.

Shout out to me, Andy. What? What you got caught? Ball pouch. What about you? You got caught when you was playing. What? Mr. Beards, you know, I didn't play much, so I didn't think about anything. My thoughts were basically, I don't want to get in the game right now because it'll fuck up my numbers. Which it always did. I mean, that is a thought.

Which it always did. Really. I mean, that is a thought. I mean. Which it always did. I mean, that's a real thought. No, that's a real thought. Like, I'm going to just sit right here where I'm at. Please don't call me with 20 seconds left in the game. Fuck you. Because looking this way, I'm looking this way too. I'm averaging 1.5 to seven seconds.

I can't get no guy to shut off. Difficult thoughts at the end of the bench. Don't put me in, please, man. Fuck. It's already past that point. No, it's been like that. Everybody's been like that. Everybody. When they was like, yo, like, no, please don't put me in. Like, please don't put me in.

Be mad, dog, be mad. Yo, yo, yo, keep your head down. That's what you're supposed to do. But they look at you and be like, he's going to put me in just. I got to keep it off my college team for that. You want to go in? He going to put me in just... I got kicked off my college team for that. You want to go in? I got in trouble. Yeah.

Especially because I was cooking the game before then. I didn't play the next game. He put me in play 30 seconds. I'm like, that's why you don't play. I got in trouble. I think I'm mad now. What are you talking about? I went to the bathroom.

He was like, what in the ass? He in the bathroom. I just knew it was coming one time. When you know it's coming? When you know it's coming. We sitting here 7.6. We cool. We cool.

So according to reports Anthony Davis expected to play tonight Monday

That's cap I'm just letting everybody know once we hit that million dollar subscribers and I get my YouTube plat, I'm acting different. Okay, so unimpressed by Anthony Davis returning to the court, Brandon is worried about his million-subscriber YouTube plat. Because we got to order that. I'm acting different. If you ain't got a million subscribers, don't invite me. Y'all better get me before this 12K.

That should be the new criteria for all podcast inquiries. Do you have a million subs? Stop. I'm gonna be acting dead French. I'm gonna start another beef. I think everybody in the crew get one. You got it like that. Baller.

I don't know. A million flack is crazy. Don't call me unless you got a million. Bo Sebastian need one. Carlos need one. Angela need one. Deb need one. Suge need one. Steve need one. Paolo Sure me one Steve me one palo me one bear me one Mike me one

What I'm saying is I don't know how many they give out Well, we don't fucking make it we just give us the design we could go take it to Timu See moves crazy. Well, I know I got a lot of do it and we'll have a plaque I don't know if it's gonna be efficient one or not. I might get a star actor Oh, I'm bringing that to every event but back to 80 real quick before we give away some money Making his return to the court. Good idea bad idea, but the mass Shorthanded right now. I mean good idea danger of forfeiting game. I mean good idea just who make this playoff push good

What about the love of the game? What place they in? What the fuck they gonna do in the playoffs? Tied for 10th right now. They're currently 11th, though. With the tiebreaker. Kyrie ain't coming back. Are you just doing this? Why do they need Kyrie? Huh? Why they need Kyrie?

Is P.J. in them out there still? Yup. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. He can still just play. You don't think they can, like, do stuff with, like, a normal team? With, like, players where they do? We got him first game, second game he got hurt. I know that's that. Why am I even doing this? What is the point of it?

Yeah, yeah. For the love? For him to come out there and pull some other shit. I mean, he has a high probability at this point. But his whole career gonna be like that anyway. He only played 43 games, so it's not like he can get a postseason award or get to that 65-game threshold.

Was he playing in the G League? I think they just assigned him just to get him back ready to go. I'm not sure if he played. As you know, I did not watch the Dallas Mavs or support them in any way, shape, or form.

But they can't get, like, 10-day contracts, people with 10 days and shit? They don't have the bread right now because they're near that first apron that they can't get that hardship. They have to Essentially roll this dumb shit man. Just write a nigga a check under the table man. God damn. He still has to sign
