He's an all-state outside linebacker at Lawrenceburg High School in Indiana, and he was just named MVP of the Rivertown Classic Basketball Tournament, joining his twin sister, who was named MVP of the same tournament on the girls' side.

I got a little trouble pronouncing that last name, so we're going to go to our resident pronunciator and audio tech here at Gil's Arena, Sebastian, for the proper pronunciation of that last name.

What's the origin? I got to know where they're from, man. I have to know. Where are the rest? Where are the others? Where's the others? Yes. All right, well, let's keep this thing moving and shaking.

It's been several days and people are still buzzing over Cat Williams' interview on Club Shay Shay. Amongst some of the more outrageous things Cat said was that he read 3,000 books per year

as a kid and also that he could run the 40 in 4.3. So Cat showed off his speed recently at 52 years old. I didn't yell. As if showing us that makes it more believable. He could have just timed that himself and put it with the video. He runs like he was a comedian.

Everything he does has humor. Why'd he run that way? Why is your shirt off? 52? He's 52? He is 52 years old, Dave. He's faster, 52. That's 50? He's 52? He is 52 years old, Dave. He's fast at 52.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, he moving. I mean, 43. I mean, what? You got to take his height. Little legs. Into that equation as well. Little legs.

And that makes me think, if he can run that fast, why didn't he run away from that 14-year-old that had his ass in that headlock? He'd have took off. He was probably fast. You should have took off. Because he was probably fast. You should have been bothering him even. Oh, man.

Now that makes the Damon... It makes that Damon scene even funnier because we know he can run now. Absolutely. You can run that fast? Huh? You can run a 4-4 right now? No.

Not even close? Me? Mm-hmm. Eight, nine seconds. I might be going gonna lie to you I've never even tried to run a 40 I'm curious to see how fast I run that. I ran one in high school. What was your 40 in high school? 4.6. Wow, okay In high school, I mean Y'all play tight end? I don't think my own be very fast. Oh, yeah Tight in defensive in you'd have been nice tall and aggressive. You don't think boy you see me

Where I have to see me play basketball, right? Yeah, so run a 40 Football yeah, right. I mean I'm in a team 300 you're out there 300 high school. Yeah, I was a child. Okay 100 400 Okay, yeah Just they're playing outside shit 300 high school. Yeah, I was a child. Okay 100 400. Okay. Yeah Just that playing outside shit So speaking of celebrities who try to be athletes try to be Hoopers who's the best celebrity Hooper that you've seen the best celebrity Hooper non basketball player that could who Probably Chris Brown probably Chris Brown nice. Yeah. Yeah, he's pretty good yeah back in the day back when I was younger Brian McKnight yeah was getting buckets all right not bad neither uh not bad neither Trey songs oh Trey songs Trey songs not bad neither y'all saw that video of uh

her the singer she was shooting yeah that. Everyone kept tagging me in it. They're like, that looks like you. I'm like, is this a compliment or what y'all trying to say? Uh-oh. Her form looked good, but I was like, she's little. Yeah, you can tell she knew the way shit too. But that shit was going in. Yeah, so all that matter.

Like, damn it. No, yeah, I would say Chris Brown. Adam Sander looked like him. Yeah, he looked like he could hoop. Yeah, he'd be up at the record. He'd be up at 24 hooping and shit like this. Yeah, he'd be up there hooping like this. Okay.

We used to have them celebrity games back in the day. Yeah. I mean, I didn't realize most of those was butt-naked basketball. We just heard that they was celebrity games. You know, find out, you know, last few weeks, there used to be celebrity butt-nigger basketball games. What? Yeah. Yeah.

Unfortunately. Okay. It's getting rough at night. Oh. Don't want you to elaborate. Yeah, Lexi, I know you're not from here. Don't want you to elaborate. I know, right?

I feel like Cat alluded to some of that in his interview with Club Shack. Protecting his version. Master P? Yeah, Master P. Yes master P. But a master P master P was probably the best Hooper For someone who was dropping of a CD every week I'm at every week and he was like the last cut on Toronto Imagine if he actually was detailed and got the train. He had that outside hoop game, right? That outside hoop game, like all the tricks and trades. So if he actually got the train a little bit, he probably would have made a roster. So I

forgot about P. P was probably the better one. Did you ever play with him over at UCLA back in the day? No, I didn't get to. Okay. Did you? Yeah, he used to come up there. How was it then? It was pretty. I mean, he was P, so you had to respect him.

I'm just saying, on the court. It was like P and Magic Johnson, so if they call foul, it's foul. Yeah. It's foul. But he used to come with a box of P. Miller gear that was all like the NBA knockoff stuff, like all the jerseys and stuff. All for teams. A ton of love for Masterpiece.

Oh, you know, I had every Masterpiece CD imaginable, so trust me. Did y'all get to watch J. Cole play at all when he was balling out? Mm-mm. I've never seen him in person, but... I saw his little stint in Africa. I forgot Gilly.

Gilly can ball. Left hand, Gilly, Gilly, Gilly can ball. Left hand. Gilly. Gilly. Gilly. Gilly. What is that? Gilly Lillard. That's what he called himself.

Gilly Lillard. Camron. Damien Gillard. Yeah, Damien Gillard. Camron. Okay. He's in the underdog family. Mm-hmm.

Cam and Max. Yeah, we've seen the videos back in the day that I'm in high school. Not giving up the rock. Someone went in the chest here Rashad McCants Jack come on Rashad will be here tomorrow to address to address the chat and to address Stephen a Smith I was crazy that Steven was a celebrity. All right, let's keep this thing moving. A video surfaced recently of a 13-year-old allegedly becoming the first person to actually beat Tetris. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Yes. I'm going to pass out. I'm going to pass out. You know, this sounded like something else at first when I watched the video. I'm just going to be honest.

I had to turn the volume down just to not confuse anybody in the household. I thought that was a game you could win. Apparently, you can get to the very end and freeze the game out in the household. I thought that was a game you could win. You can get to the very end and freeze the game out or something. How long did that take him? That's a fair question. He probably had the crib chilling. But what was your favorite video game growing up,

and what was the hardest video game that you ever beat? My favorite game was Mario. Did you ever beat that one level with all the shit? Yeah. With all the shit. What do you mean with all the shit? Yeah, but you'll stop shit The hard-ass level Mario about your one mushrooms and beat Mario 1 do and did you skip through? Did you take the little the tunnel to skip through levels or you played every yeah, but yeah, we all took the tunnels It's part of the game. Okay, just ask you. Well, you mean that shit, that's real? I believe so. Nah.

Skip levels? Nah, you see it like on, like you see it on social media, all of those things going, I don't think that's real. I don't know. If there was a tunnel, I took it. Okay, you're grown up, what was your favorite video game? Probably the Mike Tyson punch-out. I was going to say, listen, he probably didn't play video games.

And if he did, it was vitamins. Mike Tyson punch out. And we're in back... And Tecmo Bowl. And Tecmo Bowl. Yeah, for sure. Bo Jackson back in the day, where'd he go? Yeah, them two.

Yeah. Contra. Contra was the shit. Up down, up down. Yeah. Was that right? Yeah. Yeah, if you finished Contra, then you knew, you knew you had to have the code.

Like all the code. Up, down, up, down. What impact do you feel like Mike Tyson had on you? Select B, start. B-A, B-A, select B. I still know that shit's crazy. What impact do you feel like Mike Tyson punch out had on you in your later life? No impact whatsoever?

It's my environment I grew up in that had the impact. I know that video game.. I know damn video games. I know damn video games. You know, they be blaming behaviors on video games. Man, you know how hard it was to beat Mike Tyson? Mm-hmm.

Shit, to get to Mike Tyson was fucking hard. And if you ever got lucky one time and you knew that it took, man, how long it took you to get one win versus Mike Tyson? It was a special moment. Trust me, special moment. Mm-hmm. It was a special moment. So, trust me, special moment.

Mm-hmm. Once. Like, shit. Like, because all it takes is one. Fucking game over. Lex, you played video games growing up? What was your favorite? I like Sonic.

Okay. With rings. I don't know. They had so many different versions of the game, and I had them all. I had all the game systems. 64, Dreamcast, GameCube, PlayStation. Damn, growing up in the NBA household was nice, wasn't it?

I know, right? Shit! I know, shit. I loved video games. Sound like my kids. And then one day I woke up and didn't like them no more. And that was when I was like, oh, I guess this is what being a girl is like.

Yeah. Shit, my kid had the Vunk and Dreamcast and all that with all the games on it. That was my favorite system. Oh, you came out with what? 64 around that time, right? What? 64? Yeah, that.

Oh, you didn't have regular Nintendo? No, but I played it. I played Mario on that, but I loved Dreamcast. That was my favorite. And then when I got a little bit older, I finally got to start playing Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty. That was... I had to beg my mom to let me play that. And I had to go to my friend's house to play it before that because I wasn't allowed to play it at home. That's the way it goes.

Nobody remembers the original Grand Theft, right? Where you can take the CD out, right? You can take it out and then put your own regular CD in. So I used to take it out, put Dog Pound in. So when you steal a car you listen in the snoop Yeah, you can take it out cuz it's already preloaded Open button I feel I feel sorry for him cuz you know It'll be mindful we are our chauffeur the I'm just saying, you know The last name dies with the father because there ain't no way this

kid is ever having a girlfriend. Oh, damn. Ever. Yeah, yeah. There's a whole community around Tetris, but- I'm just saying. You got to be real smart, obviously, to beat Tetris. Let's spin this forward to basketball.

Which player you play with or against had the highest basketball IQ? against LeBron Kobe Jason kid those three I will probably say Against Chelsea gray Courtney vanish Lou sue all the point guards, and then with Simone Augustus. I was like, really good basketball mind. And then, so I got to play with her in Minnesota and then get coached by her my first year in LA, which was really cool. Nigga, I noticed that you glossed over who you played with that had high basketball IQ, so just... Because I never got to play with myself, so I wouldn't...

What?! I never got to play with myself. I I wouldn't. Watch! I never got to play with myself. I need to start thinking like you do. I feel like I'm one of the smartest basketball players I know, and I never said that. Oh, I was going damn sure to say myself. But no, of course I've been on the team with J-Kid. I think he's basketball IQ.

Playing against Brian. It's just a long, yeah. Yeah. And people talk about LeBron and obviously him remembering plays and his deep knowledge of the game, but you guys got to witness that firsthand. What was that like playing against him? It was always a chess match, always gamesmanship. Figuring out the matchups, figuring out what plays not to run It's always a chess match. It's always games and shit.

Figuring out the matchups, figuring out what plays not to run, and who to put in the pick and roll, who not to put in the pick and roll, and certain things, you know? For sure. Yeah, no. He know that. Yeah. Yeah, he knew not to call certain shit or run certain shit when I was out there.

He tell you. Like, man, I'm not going to let y'all keep running the plays shit, run certain shit when I was out there. It's it's it. I'm not going to let y'all keep running the play that I know you about to run. Y'all going to have to put some other shit in. Because I'm just going to tell you, I'm not going to let you throw the ball you want to throw the ball. Listen, pressure him. Don't let, hey, deny him, pressure him.

I killed the play. That simple. I ain't got to tell, hey, don't let the ball revert. It's forwards out. It's that simple. I ain't got to tell, hey, don't let the ball revert. It's forwards out. It's low point. Hey, deny him. Don't let the ball. Hey, it's basic. They've been around. I'm not. No. I hate that.

The team be yelling the play right back to you. Oh, yeah. Of course, you know all our plays. Marcus can be used to, like, his, like, he was great at, like, when, because we had coaches, of course, they called out the plays and all that. Like, MC was great at, like, relaying it to the other guy. Mm-hmm. So, I think that was helpful for some guys out there. But, for me, you know, I'm always, I'm locked in to what's coming next and screens

and just blowing plays all the way up. It's just a way to play defense. Yeah. So there's been a lot of talk nowadays about the lack of basketball IQ in the game. I'm just curious, as former players, and even Lexi as a current player now on the WNBA side, do you see that when you're watching games, just decision-making and stuff like that?

Oh, yeah. Listen, that's the biggest thing, man. When you're watching games just decision-making and stuff like that. Oh, yeah That's the biggest thing man. I that was mine Like I can't stand a dumb basketball player Like I really it bothers me To Explain something to you and it's been shown to you, and explained to you again, and then maybe shown to you again,

and you still go out and... It's baffling to me that you don't have the capacity to retain it. I think that's... As fans, when you look around and you see these players that you don't have the capacity to retain it. I think that's when, as fans, when you look around and you see these players that you like and they can't get in the game, it's because they're dumb basketball players. They're not smart enough to pick up what's going on. They make too many mental mistakes out there,

so you can't rely on them. So when you be like, oh, man, why they ain't playing this guy? They just hate him. He dumb. He dumb. That's it. It ain't playing this guy? They just hate him. He dumb He dumb that's it ain't no It ain't know which way around it you drop a play here We need you to be here and he go out there and just get him out get him out Come out and miss the the OTA like the timeout. I like dude. That's

drop drop What are we running? What we run?? What side am I supposed to be on? Oh, my gosh. You know when the coach, because the coach always draws the play facing him, right? So he's doing it like this, right? So most people, we can just, all right, okay, I'm on that side. Like, no, can you flip it over? Got to show him, please.

You got to start doing this, all right, for we on this. Because of the play, I literally, in my head, I'm like, right side. Right side. Left side. Because I'm like, I have to make sure I know what's that. I'm also in my head I'm little that my little voice. Mm-hmm Lexie on the right side. Thanks. Yo less even sometimes. I'm like Like Lexi really Maybe draw the play of you be over over here. Hey man, what a water But some people can do you can multitask like this I can I'm listening to you but I ain't got to look at you

Like sometimes enjoys you draw plays on the I've you seen that motherfucker like just staring I hear them before right before I get up And then yeah, it's that simple. Yeah, cuz he wasn't running shit for me. No hear you. Then right before I get up, I... Got it. Then it's that simple. Yeah. Because he wasn't running shit for me no fucking way. So it was either a back door, a screen, a cut. Simple. But yeah. Simple things. No, you running to them guys, man, you just like...

Mm-hmm. I was on the team and somebody... I was new to the situation and, you know, I'm a talker, like, trying to help guys out. If I see something, if I'm on the team and somebody, I was new to the situation and you know, I'm a talker, like trying to help guys out. If I see something, if I'm on the bench, I'm yelling sets out, I'm yelling like, dude leaned over to me and told me, hey man, you're gonna drive yourself crazy

if you keep talking to him. Hey, I'm new, like I'm coming in and I'm energetic with the situation. I'm trying to... You're going to drive yourself crazy. You keep talking to him. And I just sat back and observed what he said. I was like... Got it.

Got it, yeah. Makes sense. Well, let's... Uh-oh. Who could it be? I get it. Swagless. Uh-oh, Swaggy P at the door.

It's going to be this purity fucking comedy. All right, well, let's... I'm glad to have you here. Obviously, Nick, you play with the Lakers and the Clippers, so we're about to talk about Battle LA.

Lakers and Clippers were going the opposite direction before their second meet of the season. Clippers were 14 and 2 in their last 16 games and the Lakers were in the midst of a four game losing streak that had Brian saying the team sucks so bad that Brian could play on the Lakers right now. He said that. He meant that shit too. In the locker room.

I seen him yesterday. Brian could play right now. He was playing. He was mad. Are you at the game yesterday? No, no. Okay, just watching. Watching at the crib. So then you watched the game yesterday. I'm sure you saw this moment.

39-year-old LeBron put the team on his back and put Paul George on a poster. Drove down the lane. Hammer. I mean, year 21, LeBron still doing stuff like this is absurd. LeBron finished with a game-high 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 dimes. Averaging 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists against the Clippers this season. In addition to this dunk, LeBron also helped lock up Kawhi Leonard. Kawhi was 0-for-6 from the field, 0-for-5 from three with LeBron as his primary defender.

But let's get back to LeBron's poster on PG. The dunk was so nasty, it even had James Harden making a stink face. Look at Harden watching that. Harden was in disbelief. Y'all ended that, man. Y'all stopped playing with that, man. That doesn't look like a real picture. That is a real photograph. Oh, my God. Harden was in disbelief. Y'all ended that, man. Y'all stopped playing with that, man. That doesn't look like a real picture. That is a real photograph.

Oh, my God. Harden was in disbelief. But the Lakers have struggled to beat good teams this year. But the Clippers are one of the hottest teams in the league. So, Gil, we'll start with you. How important was this win over the Clippers for the Lakers? Hey, man, he's still coaching, man. I'm going to just be honest, man.

I don't give a fuck how many wins they get. You keep putting that same line up in, I'm not going to. I don't give a fuck what you win. You had 106 points yesterday. But they held the Clippers 1-0-3. Cool. You had 106 yesterday, right, in a league that they got that in the third. They got that in the third quarter.

So unless you're going to defend like this all the time, you're going to get blown out. The same three people. Same three. Seven. Eight. Thirteen. Two. Two.

D-Lo back in the line. The dude, no, he wasn't. No, he back in, he was out. He missed a couple games, was back playing. The dude came off the bench, bro, played 21 minutes and scored two again. Who was that? Vanderbilt.

But that's him, that's what he do though. Score two? He not a scorer though. Then why the fuck he playing in this game? Cause he gotta play defense. No, he... He's a looking stone, you found him on a corner and told him His job is you can't ask him to do forget get 20 his job is to be a liquor store dude and just play defense a

Corner store naysayers y'all like to say liquor store do court or no no why I'm done Friday Liquor store, dude. Corn store. I don't know why. I'm done, man. Yeah, it's time to fry the ham. It's time to fry that. There we go, man. I'm having a scoop, man. Yeah. They put too many of the same people out there at the same time. Lexi, how important was this? Well, I was at the game yesterday.

Stunning. And watching, like, the energy of the team team, like it was very weird to watch them. Like you could tell like shit is not good in the locker room. There were times where like Bron was like separate from like the rest of the huddle. Nobody was speaking in the huddles and the timeouts, like nobody. The coaches, none of the coaches, none of the players were talking to each other. Like it was very weird. So I'm like, I don't know if this win makes a difference because they weren't very excited after they won They weren't really excited about much and the communication was definitely okay So you saying it was they wasn't really rocking when they looked like a bunch of individuals and not a team out there

I see a lot of players that are expected to not be there for much longer Oh, there's a little bit of shot and he was all hype and LeBron was looking like... Yo ass is treated. You gone. Yeah, like that's exactly what the vibes was. It was odd. It was weird to watch. Kenny, what did you think about the Lakers performance last night?

It is the NBA and on any given night, anybody can beat as we proved Detroit Pistons got a win so even the sun shines on the dog ass some days. No, man, it is... Yeah, for them to score 106 points is alarming. And that's the consistent theme around there. In this day and age, you got to score points, man. Like, as big as of a defensive-minded guy that I am, the way I think the game, I understand. Like, in this day and age, like, no, you got to score points. And you scoring low... Low. Low hundreds. that I am the way I think the game I understand like in this day and age like now you got to score points and

You scoring low low hundred Every game last night was over 10 points Yeah, you can't Yeah, but nice Frustration you can tell with Drew celebrating and his LeBron mindset is shit. Dude, we just lost four straight

and y'all out this motherfucker celebrating. Like, nah, this is not the time for that. Which. Understandable. See, I talked about Darvin Ham a little bit and it's been obvious that Ham has been on the hot seat.

Especially after the Lakers lost to the Grizzlies on Friday night got so bad that one ham supporter was brought to tears on the coaches did in Twitter spaces Man, this nigga's so unserious, bro. Please take this nigga off. One more game, bro. One more game, bro. One more game. No, please, bro. On fire, bro.

I promise you we're going to win the championship, bro. I promise. I heard the word championship. Yeah, so, Darviham fan was brought to tears after that Grizzlies game, begging for one more game. So, you know, during the Lakers four-game losing streak, reports were Ham was losing the locker room. Several players were frustrated with his rotations lineups

in their playing time. But I got all y'all on the couch. You guys are all super, super knowledgeable about just the NBA and how the game goes. Do you think Darvin Ham saved his job with the Lakers' win over the Clippers? Hey, y'all, listen. Something wrong with this damn boy. They need to bring back choking coaches.

No, I know. He can't be choking, but the idea of it because there's some times if you're gonna sub in vando in front of me i should be able to choke the shit out you okay just just i know i know whoever tried on him you're gonna wake up in the hospital but the concept still remains the concept still is ready to say you should get choked for that sub, right? There's no way on earth that he taps me on my shoulder and I turn around. It's him. Get your motherfucking ass back on that bitch, brother.

What's wrong with you? As a coach, you should be choked for some of your lineups. How many games has been going on? How many games? We done played 30-some games? Yeah, something like that. Van and Cam has shown you two to seven points. That's it, right?

I take defense. Cool. Two to seven. Get the fuck out of here, right? Two to seven. That's it, right? That's it. If they score 10, that's a great game.

But this Lakers is trying to combine people into one person. I know. That's what they say. They got to use two spots to get one person. They trying to make transforms. Combine Reeves and D-Lo into a third stall. Combine Vander and Reddish into a defender. It's hard, man.

They just need to go a seven-man rotation get Christie and be low and that's it man That's it. Just play them. Just play that right there for for like 10 games and see what we got Vando cam if if we need you we can serve you in if you keep going with these lineups, man I'm just I'm sorry man. Just start calling around, man. Just start calling around. Start putting your resume out there because it ain't it, brother. It ain't it, man. It's over.

It's over. The only way you keep your job, man, you're going to 15-game winning streak, man. And we'll think about it. Man, LeBron going to have to do it. You said 15-game winning streak, Gil? Huh? That's the only way he can keep it? 15-game winning streak.

What about like eight, nine games? Let's start with two. Let's make a trade. I think they gotta make a trade before they fire the ham. Before they cook the ham, man. They gotta make a trade before they bake the ham. Boy, LeBron over that motherfucker. Smoked ham, baked ham, fried ham.

Boy, that man already been traded. He just just don't know he ain't got the memo yet So during during the lake Lakers postgame media availability They asked LeBron about him in the lock and you could just tell the answer was very short succinct Kind of like we really don't want to give it up, but you have to and you really trying to keep the narrative going so So, Nick, you talked about trades. Lakers are reportedly looking into the trade market before the deadline with names like Zach Levine, DeJounte Murray being mentioned as potential options.

So we have a Mostly Fans question from Y3 Official on that subject. Another week. You guys won't use my fantasy fucking question or whatever the fuck it's called at this point. I'm going to the baby. Niggas is heated. I guess I got to talk about the Lakers instead of the Hawks. So we pick this one. So let's try this.

Yeah, right. Nasty. Let's try this. It's nasty words. Niggas is heated. Do y'all want the John T. Murray? Is that what the Lakers need? Because, like, bro, I'm tired of the league trying to divide and conquer the Hawks.

Like, why is this happening, bro? Why is this Lakers, DeJounte Murray shit happening, bro? Talk to me. Put the GM hat on. All right. Well, I'm going to put my dad hat on first. Fucking degenerate. Talking that way in front of your damn child.

Like, it's not answering. Get that baby off the mostly fans video. Look at Martin and him, the same coach. degenerate Talking that way in front of your damn child And him the same coach you ain't gonna say nothing look yeah, no I'm not Martin is like the same. I know that's what you speaking like that in front of them little girls. Clean it up, sir. Clean it up. To the question, though, do the Lakers want to need DeJounte Murray? And he wasn't a wise elite trying to make this happen and divide the Hawks. Listen, it don't matter who we trade.

It don't matter who we trade. If the coaching mindset is defense, he going to play the guys that he feels that he needs to play, right? And that's the problem with some of these older coaches who come from the older system, right? Right? Their value of we need defensive mindsets to go stop offensive players, which has never been that way. Right? Usually if your defensive player is a defensive player, he can't put the ball in the basket too. It wasn't like, oh, we got, you know, Kmart and we don't have to worry about Kmart on offense. Right? That was never the case. So some of these guys, they got a starting point guard that'll play three minutes and then sell them out and put the real guy in. The fuck do you need these three minutes for? What do you need these three minutes for?

Just put the guy who belongs as a starter. This is how you need to look at your lineup. Ham, when you look at the player, and you be like, alright, Cam, alright. Ask yourself, can he start on any other team in the NBA? If the answer's no, motherfucker,

he shouldn't start for us. Right? Vandal, can you play 21 minutes on any other team? If the answer's no, he shouldn't get 21 minutes on our team We have players starting that would not start on any of the franchise That means they shouldn't be starting on ours if we can take them and trade them and they don't start they shouldn't start here That's how you supposed to be evaluating your talent if you can't start on

29 other teams with god dammit. you can't start on this one either. Sit your ass on the bench. Nate, do you agree or disagree? Look at G League players we done got on this team. Nah, well, yeah, but people do leave the Lakers and start, like, blossoming. Who? What's the dude that was there that talked to Pippen? He on Milwaukee Ballin'.

He was all right. He was all right. But he was good though. That's how you describe him. He was a scorer. He wasn't like that. He wasn't like that. He said that was the one that was smashing the pass in the home.

Not like that. Not a single. You could have said this is what he does on the court. Come on man, what's wrong with you? I'm not... He put a lot of pressure on the ball. He put a lot of pressure on the ball. He put a lot of pressure on the ball.

He put a lot of pressure on the ball. He put a lot of pressure on the ball. He put a lot of pressure on the ball. He put a lot of pressure on the ball. He put a lot of pressure on the ball. He put a lot of pressure on the home. Not like that. Not a single. He could have played. This is what he does on the court. Come on, man. What's wrong with you? He played this way. You couldn't just come up with the name.

Look, he could have just said the name. But you picked that quick. But y'all all got it, though. That's the thing. You got it. Yeah, yeah. So you're saying players leave the Lakers. The gist of that.

For sure, for sure but I don't know it's hard to What do you got They went and got this this summer They signed these players back We was hyped They came off a big high They made it to the Western Conference Finals

So you With this same team Mine is like Woods and the dude from Miami. Gabe Benson. Benson, yeah. Where he at? Hurt. You know.

He's still in Miami. That's what I'm saying. He's hurt, though. They're a team full of liquor stores. Like, they found all these people on the corner and said, come on, man. Play some defense. Play some defense. Would DeJounte Murray help or hurt the Lakers?

That's what I said. He would help if they would play. Shit, look, the young kid, Chrissy would help us if you put him in a game. If you put him in a game, he will help. Like, at this point, at this point, you shouldn't even be playing these guys

because their trade value is not there. Right? I don't know who you're going to trade for. Like, yeah, we're going to package, and we're going to package these, but nobody want these players. If I'm trading, I don't want Van. Right?

I don't want Cam. So you have a certain team. No, I don't want them. Certain teams that has primary scores and stuff like that. Like, I think he's serviceable, though. Who? Vanderbilt. On the right team?

Yeah. On the right team, when you got other guys around him that can score, like, you can hide him out there. What? I can hide him on the bench, too. No, but in this situation, he's out there with three other guys that is at the same time.

If he's, just say, if he's in Denver and you put him out there with Porter, Murray, Joker, KCP, you don't need him to do nothing. Like they did Bruce Brown. They don't need him to do nothing. Like they did Bruce Brown.

Right, they don't need him to do nothing. Bruce Brown scored, though. No. Man, he was. Yeah, he get every down again, Gil. But if he out there like that in a situation like that, he's serviceable. If you put him in a situation like Phoenix where you got three scores, you don't need him to score.

But in this situation where Lakers have a hard time scoring, it stands out more that he's a bigger liability in this situation with the Lakers because they don't have the pieces around him to hide the fact that he can't shoot. I know what they can use a star. Get it. You don't like the little

guys. I understand. You was always a star. No, I know. I mean, the little guys pass. Take the ball out of bounds. That's what it's good for. That's what it's a star. No, no, no. I mean, the little guys pass, take the ball out of bounds, take the ball out of bounds. That's what we good for. That's what we good for. See, you got to appreciate that when you a star, but nobody on the Lakers really scores like that. But that's what makes it jump

out. Yeah, because outside of A.D. and Brian, it's a it's a it's not that he can't score. The problem with me with them is you don't shoot the ball. Like Reeves started yesterday, 30 minutes, shot the ball five times. Who the fuck are you on the court for?

That irritates me. But it comes in the coaching too, like you always say, right? All of them are doing it now. I know. But Vanderbilt, right? Go back to Vanderbilt. Your best attribute is your activity, right?

The ball comes swinging dry, that motherfucker, man. Like, go put pressure at the rim. You ain't got to shoot the bit, but you doing something to help us on offense. Shoot not your best attribute. You've worked at it, cool. If you make one every three, four games and patch on your ass, good job. That bitch come, man, we know where you're going.

You're going goddamn left. So pit that motherfucker left, get to the rim. You might make a play, miss that bitch, go get it. Just activity offensively creates a problem. So you just sitting over in the corner, that motherfucker come to you, and you, oh, shit, where Bron at? Like, no, no, like, that ain't what, that's not going to help the fucking team. And that's where a conversation from coaching comes into play,

which I don't think enough coaches do, is have these conversations on how you can be effective to help us. Instead of letting me try to figure it out like, well shit, I need to get better at shooting corner threes. You're never going to be good at it. Never? You can be decent. You can be decent.

You can be decent. This is the honest, you can work your ass off. Some guys is not in the cards to make fucking threes. That's just what, to be a consistent three-point shooter, no matter how hard you work at it, you're behind the eight ball right now. Because that ain't what you grew

up, that ain't what you grew up learning to do to be successful and be, get a scholarship to go to school and do certain things. That ain't what got you there. So for you to try to implement, I'm going to be this drop-back, dead shooter, you're fooling yourself.

And these people around you, these coaching staffs are failing you, not telling you the truth and not having these conversations with you on how you can help us. Do your best thing. If you're not averaging three offensive rebounds a night, with you on how you can help us. Do your best thing. If you're not averaging three offensive rebounds a night, you're doing us a disservice. If you're not putting pressure on the rim with your drives,

you're doing us a disservice. If they're not having those conversations, the Reeves kid, if you play 30 minutes a night and you take less than 12 shots, I can't play you. Can't play you. These are the conversations that they don't have. Yeah. Because they're scared to hurt God's feelings. They're scared of what God might think and how he's going to feel after the conversation.

Damn that. If you're trying to win and you're trying to keep your damn job, you got to have these hard conversations on how you can help us win and if we and if I don't have these conversations and then you your players is the product of us not talking and you're trying to figure it out then one of us gonna be out of a job or both of us gonna be out of a fucking job so you better start having these conversations with these players and tell them exactly what it is, why you not playing, what can you do to start playing, and if you are playing and you're doing these things, good job. Like, it's not enough of it going on.

I remember with us, right? Remember? We playing Miami, right? I had to tell him, hey, we got D-Wade. We got D-Wade. We need you to shoot ball. Every time I call your number. Every time I call your number, you shoot it on him. You don't need to pass. Because we got to guard him on defense.

Right? So we got to get him tired some way. So he take eight. D-Wade take 20 shots. You take 20 shots. Right? I need you to equal this motherfucker. I got charm. I'm going to beat my matchup. You beat that matchup. Right? Boy, that almost got me cooked that game.

Better go at him, Nick. Go at him. You don't know about him yet. You don't know about him yet. You don't know about him yet. What'd you have, about 20-something? Yeah. Yeah. He was down that DNA shit, too. If you offended by me telling you you need to shoot more,

then we going to have a problem anyway. Right? And that's the thing. If I'm on that team or coaching the team, hey, y'all, I'm trying to score 120-25, right? 120-25. So if I put you in and you ain't helping to get to that number, just go ahead and you don't even put your jersey on. Don't even put your jersey on, right? You don't need your jersey on.

Other than that, like, you need to take 12 shots. You need to take, you coming off the bench, man, three offensive rebounds, some layups, at least take 10 shots, right? But you coming in, two, five, seven, y'all played a combined 90 minutes, got 11 shots. Yeah, get off his rebound and kick that bitch back. You never hear a coach telling somebody to shoot the ball.

I never heard a coach tell me to. When you get in the game, you shoot it every time, except for probably like Dan Tony, because that was his system. But Darvin Hamm is more, I know he's telling them to play defense instead of to shoot it. It's easier to scheme. I've been hearing your point about guys who are supposed to be defenders and outscoring guys. And I've been thinking about it, and I'm like, you can scheme guys who are technically not good defenders. You can help them out with schemes and putting them in certain positions, because there's

fucking five of y'all out there. It's not like you're playing a fucking individual defense all the time. But you can, and to not to just give straight line drives up. Like, if you express certain points of emphasis every day, that's buying to it. For a bad defender. For a bad defender. And not everybody is that like for most scores? They're not let's you small and statue like a Trey young or somewhere you physically at a disadvantage in some nights with certain positions

But your your output on the other end Kind of it offsets that mm-hmm Not everybody is in that deficit every night. Mm-hmm to where we just gonna run post up We're gonna put you gonna run you off screens beat you up all that like not everybody's in that deficit every night. To where we just going to run post up, we're going to run you off screens, beat you up, all that. Not everybody is in that deficit every night. So you can help those scorers out who are not the best defenders by scheme and stuff.

So I've been hearing what you're saying. So having more scoring on the court, absolutely. At each position, it'd be definitely beneficial to the Lakers to what you've been saying. What do you think the lineup should be? Now they got to trade something more fucking it absolutely, but if you don't start them you gotta start rule You got to start more fucking really low and you got the dad's

Put your best that's upset when when did they start like one of the best five on the big? Yo as much as I think about Chris would like I think I think he sucks at every aspect of the game other than scoring, he can fucking help. Like, one thing he is going to do is shoot the fucking basketball, and he going to look for his shot before anything and anything else. Yo, he can help. Like, he can see. Scoring.

Offense helps the Lakers. The reason more offense helps the Lakers is because A.D. and LeBron don't get double as much. The lane is open more if there's more scores. But if you're putting all this defense in, when they are trying to drive, it becomes a harder task for them it becomes hard that's why it's hard to double yokich right he got five he got four of the players that can shoot the ball too yeah that's why it's hard to guard uh tatum everybody on the

court can shoot so you can't double or nothing off of them. Right? Same thing with Curry. They had people who made plays so you can't just sit on them. But you got to trade for that. You said name a team. Boston got a damn near all-star team. No, you have players, man.

No. And that's to go back to the conversation. Them film sessions and conversations, dog. Come on. You know that. But but you still I think they do still need to make a move with this team You're not still I don't think they could beat like Clippers in a seven-game Even if they shoot the ball a thousand times

But the problem is we don't know cuz he's never put the best five on the floor What they started the year with Reeves, D'Lo. No, they didn't. Rui? No, he didn't. D'Lo, Reeves? No, they didn't. Rui wasn't playing.

It wasn't Rui, but it was Reeves and D'Lo. Then they put Reeves to the bench. Yeah. So we asked the chat, name any other team in the NBA where there's two guys on the bench that should be starting. I don't know what they did. No one does that shit. They won that damn in-season tournament. Yo, so how many different starting lineups has the Lakers had this year?

A significant amount. That's when you know your team's back. That's how you know you got it. Because you have two guys who you start all the time Mm-hmm and the other three guys you've been Every motherfucking night you've been putting them bitches in a hat I told you we was in this motherfucker plan C load of the day like See who which three you gonna play

Like and it shouldn't be that if you should if you ain't got three consistent guys, somebody to act. Torian Prince has started. Yeah. Like I said, him or Rui at that point, but Reeves and your backcourt, Reeves and what, that just opens the floor. Right? I can come off the bench with whatever for

a few minutes. It's like you're trying to save someone's legs. The only way you're going to save it if it helps on both ends of the floor. I think the only way you save his legs

is if you get rid of him or all the other people. So imagine Boston. Imagine Boston right now having Porzingis and White and Drew coming off the bench. One of them got to come off the bench though, right? No. Which one starts?

All of them start. So I'm saying imagine putting them three on the bench and then putting in three people who don't play. How hard does it become for Tatum and Brown? It becomes harder. All of them start. No they don don't. Yes, they do. Wait, Al Horford come off the bench? Al Horford come off the bench? Yeah, Al Horford come off the bench.

Rightfully so. Right, that's what I'm saying. So we asked the chat, did Ham save his job with the win last night? Got over 3,000 votes. 19% said yes. 81% said no. Pack your shit. Lexi, you were at that game.

How stagnant and whack does that Lakers offense look with that defensive-minded line? Yeah, I mean, like, Kenny said, like, they catch the ball, and they're like, where's Bron? Like, immediately. Like, they don't even look at the basket. They don't look to make a play. And then when they get in the huddle, like I said,

coach does not say anything to anybody. Like, he's, like, trying to give them high fives. They're kind of like, fuck you. I'm not listening to you. But you can tell there's moments in the game where Bron is extremely frustrated, so he'll go make a play like he did on Paul George and try to give the team some energy, and it never works. Let's talk about the Clippers.

Where have you seen the Coach get fired after going to the Western Conference finals and now winning the in-season tournament and still get fired in two years? Frank Vogel won championship. That was after. Motherfucker won Toronto. The Bucs coach won? Nah, the one before that. What was the one after?

Dwayne Casey. Dwayne Casey was coach of the year. I was just saying, hey, man, you know what I'm saying? I was just saying, hey, man, you know what I'm saying? I was just saying, hey, man, you know what I'm saying? I was just saying, hey, man, you know what I'm saying? I was just saying, hey, man, you know what I'm saying? I was just saying, hey, man, you know what I'm saying? I was just saying, hey, man, you know what I'm saying? coach one? Nah, the one before that. Because y'all were just praising this man. Dwayne Casey was coach of the year. That was a thing. Coach of the years are getting

the right people. Give it to him. Ham was the savior. We smart. Right? We smart. We know how to adjust. Go Ham. Fuck Ham. We smart. We not delusional, We know how to adjust Go ham Fuck him We smart we we not delusional

Handful it is that's because because think about it You've been on a bitch, right And they playing somebody in there, you know ain't even close to you and he getting 30-something minutes, what that make you feel like? One, it make you hate the coach. You start hating the player. Right? You sitting there bitter. Now you got three people on the bench

sitting there like, man, that's some good one. Look at these niggas out here. Right? Who was that on the bench, though? You think D-Lo? He starts. He just been hurt. No, they came off the bench, though? You think D-Lo? He starts. He just been hurt.

No, they came off the bench like eight games, some games. D-Lo came off the bench. They had Prince, Cam. Nah. They started Prince, Cam, and man. That's when I got mad. You can't have Prince. Reeves?

Why you think Reeves is mad? Like, come on. Like, if you're going to put somebody in front of me, come on. He got to be the dude. What was the conversation they had to put Austin Reeves on the bench because when that first happened everyone was like That's a good move. It was for me. And then all of a sudden it's terrible. I feel like because he had his own time to shine because The Lakers need they needed that six man. It was working at the time for sure a six-man is listen a six-man is cool but you got three of them in the lineup Prince is a six-man so I get left out what I'm saying is Prince is a six-man and Prince is a

defender starter right now okay then who else then I got to have Rui and Reeves in if he's a defender starter no if he's a defender starter then I need I need Rui I need Rui and and Reeves in a he's a defender starter. No if he's a defender starter, then I need I need Rui I need Rui and and Reeves in a starting lineup because this might be visit guy. So when I'm subbing Alright cam you going for Prince guys cam going for Prince. Yeah, right That's how you supposed to cam going for Prince for sure. I'm going for cam right you three you three Motherfuckers just rotate. If somebody in fire trouble. I'm with that.

The only time Van should get in the game, in the game is when we down and we need to pick up full court. I'm not for all. Sick them. Sick them. They had too many liquor store dudes at the same time.

So I get that. dudes at the same time But at the same time they've been trying to do that transformers shit that ain't working neither you can't we need then we need seven players out there For the whole season. They like, these two is gonna be our third star. Yeah, you gonna want to see one of the faces on offense and one of them on defense. Yo, we got pit defense. Hey, ref, we got a pit shooter. He gonna play defense. He gonna come in off.

The way the half go like the drill used to do. Man! You run off, you run off. The transition drill. Man! Y'all are wild, but let off. The transition drill. Y'all are wild, but let's keep this thing moving. We got to talk about... Hey, that's some funny shit. Hey, you go up all night, you go up in the evening,

wait and just sit at the half court. You got to wait until he gets to half court before you go. You got to go touch the line. You got to touch half court before you come in. Or you stay at a cross and go. Let's talk about another team in California, these Golden State Warriors. Warriors got some good news this weekend when Draymond Green's indefinite suspension was ended after 12 games. Green is back with the team.

Let's give it up for Draymond. Green is back with the team but expected to need a week to ramp up before returning to the court. Couldn't come at a better time as Chris Paul is out for the next four to six weeks with a fractured left hand. And reports are that Jonathan Kaminga has lost faith in Steve Kerr.

In addition to the fire Kerr hashtag that was trending this weekend after the embarrassing loss of the Nuggets on Thursday. So Draymond discussed his suspension on an episode of his podcast that dropped today. And he also talked about a conversation he had with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. I had a conversation with Adam Silver,

Commissioner of our league. I just told him, Adam, it's too much for me. Like, this is too much. It's all becoming too much for me. And I'm going to retire. And Adam said, ah, you're making a very rash decision and I won't let you do that. You know, we had a long, great conversation, very helpful to me, very thankful to play in a league with a commissioner like Adam, who's more about helping you than hurting you

or helping you than punishing you. Or, you know, he's more about the players. So Draymond also told a story on that same podcast about how after the suspension, he stayed in his man cave for a couple of days and his kids didn't know where he was at. Only his wife knew he was down there. Then he FaceTimed his three-year-old daughter and she recognized the man cave in the suspension, he stayed in his man cave for a couple of days and his kids didn't know where he was at. Only his wife knew he was down there. Then he FaceTimed his three-year-old daughter and she recognized the man cave in the background,

ran in there, went and grabbed him out, brought him back to reality. But Gil, we'll start with you. What are your thoughts on- Don't start with me. We'll start with you. Maybe still. Okay, we'll start with you. What are your thoughts on Draymond saying he was considering retirement

after slapping the shit out of Nurk and getting suspended? I don't know. Retired, you got three left on that thing, on that deal. If I look at net aspect I Call cap if you look at the money aspect of it. I call cap. Okay, but in Reality if I'm taking the money aspect out of it, I Can understand his point of view with it? Yeah, you you

Like you said ain't about changing the spots on the leopard, which... You're right. Like, so he's realizing who he is and accepting it. And realizing he ain't going to be able to slap shit out of nobody else. Apparently very faithful. That's a difficult thing to come to conclusion. Yeah, so I probably want to sit at home and- Same. I can't choke it no more?

Yeah, yeah, I can't choke motherfuckers, man, so- I'm pretty sure that's how the conversation was. So, do I get to, can I still use my eye gouge? No, Draymond. Okay, okay, okay. Use my eye. No eye, no eye poke. Snap a motherfucker when they touch me.

No, Draymond. Okay, okay. Uh, if someone touch my teammates, can I put them in a figure four chokehold? No, Draymond. All right, all right. If I see a Euro on the floor, can I kick him in the chest blade? No, Draymond. Well, why the fuck am I out here then?

Don't get me a jersey. Shit, I retire. Right, like... I'm pretty sure that's how that went. Why is this... This is all very dramatic. What do you feel like is dramatic about it, Lex? This...

This is the whole conversation with Adam Silver, like, stop putting your hands on people on the court. Well, it's not... It's easier said than done. I'm just like, well, why are we doing all this? putting your hands on people on the court. It's easier said than done. I'm just like, why are we doing this all the time? It's hard to tell a Navy SEAL to do this.

It's hard when you get to the challenge. Keep your hands to yourself. I quit. No, I quit. Like, what? You are a multi-millionaire. Keep your freaking hands to yourself. Stop putting people to bed.

But if Draymond can't be Draymond, that's what makes it who is Draymond. If you really think about the concept. Yeah, he'd be all he could be. He says, so I can't fuck people up when I want to. No, Draymond. And they will just don't give me a jersey. Keep the $50 million.

I quit. Don't give me no good. Don't give me a jersey. Keep the $50 million. I quit. Don't give me no good. Don't give me no good. Don't give me no good. Nah. I mean, he does sound a little remorseful. You know, so he says some, like, so, it's kind of not to have jokes, but on the serious side, right, he made some statements about

This is time right? his time away and it being at home with his family and He's When you've been away for this like he's probably long as he's been away from the team during the season. Mm-hmm and You can't go to the facility. You can't do certain things. He could go well though well but not with the team no he was a lot of practice but he did they change that he did though oh well fuck I told you they changed the room yeah so you can't to your point he was eligible to do that he didn't Steve Kerr said that they hadn't seen him they were giving him his space and he was giving them their space during that suspension. So he didn't practice with

the team? So he was, according to Steve Kerr, we don't know. Okay, so it'll go back to my point, or the statement I was going to make then. When you're at home for that stint of time and no basketball is being played, you can go work out but when you're not playing,

we all retire, right? So it's an adjustment. And we realize we got all the time in the world, so we think. Until you start with kid activities, you start doing certain things, your wife needs this, this needs to get done,

and you're like, damn, where'd the day go? And he said, like, he realized, like, how do I have less time now now that I'm not doing my full-time thing? Like, how does that work? Like shut up. And then you realize the job that like your significant other is doing.

If you got kids at home. Like then you realize that shit. Like damn ain't nothing being like neglected. Everything is done. The kids, homework done, they ate. Like so now you're like damn. you start looking around he realized like well maybe this so a little bit I probably didn't creep in like a little bit like that sincere that you're in his voice is that like you you being at home with them kids every day and waking you up you taking the them to school, picking them up, all

those things that you didn't get to do before because you playing, you on the road, you missing out on these things. And you realize that you enjoy doing those things. So now it's like, ah. But I still got this obligation over here to go play. But can you honestly see Draymond not doing nothing on the court no more? Like not doing something, like punching somebody, pushing somebody? No. But doesn't it? It's hard.

I think that. But the question for you all is, doesn't video put even in all the comments and statements that he's making, does that put a bigger target on his back now? Because if you know Draymond as a player previously, I'm just saying for other guys to be able to poke the bear and know you're not going to do shit. No.

No, see, this is the thing and I can You and I spoke on it before right and to gills I'm so he's talking about this There's no When just like there shit if he was grabbing him doing shit, like you didn't have to off top just... Roundhouse. Right? Yeah, you didn't have to roundhouse to do it.

Now there has to be more for somebody to do more to him in situations to agitate for him to react to something. It can't be the little shit anymore. Right. I take it from, I'm a prime example. I had the conversation with, if you want to continue to be a part of the league, you're gonna change your ways. Okay, cool. I didn't play any less intense. I still was out there and y'all was on opposite teams than me. And I had that conversation in year two or three with David Stern. I played fucking 12 more years. When we played together, I didn't... Same shit.

I didn't change anything. I just wasn't... I knew where I had to get to, but I didn't change that. You're kind of different. Yeah, that's why I keep trying to tell him. Y'all different. You didn't spin and hit. You wasn't doing that.

I wasn't doing none of that. You wasn't kicking in the front of me. None of those, yeah. He kicked somebody in the chest. He kicked somebody in the chest. My intensity. You ain't never kicked somebody in the chest on a court. My intensity or the way I played is the way.

But he don't have to change that aspect of it. But you just got to let motherfuckers know out there. Like, you ain't got to continue to do it, but in that environment. Dude, I'm going to tell you straight up, dude, you keep it up, though. I'm going to be at your locker room. Yeah, see. Like, it's like that. You have patience.

Yeah. You have patience. So yours builds up. I just want to get you. Here, he can dunk, hit a three, and someone jab him right here. Boom! Yeah, see, and that's what he did. That's this right here.

He needed a shot. He needed a shot. Natural basketball motion. Yeah, natural basketball motion. I just think they should just give him his own little rules. Look, like Stan Van Gundy. Stan Van Gundy, look. All right, we playing the Lakers today.

Hey, Lakers, put your elbow pads on these pads. Put your little boxes and blades. Wear your little, what's it ain't because Draymond coming. We don't know what he going to do today. We don't know what he going to do. He got 32 minutes in the game, all right? Anything can happen. It just should be, Draymond has his own set of rules, right?

We go, Draymond playing in 82. Or he playing in 89, right? He Detroit Pistons. We're or he planned in 89 right a Detroit Pistons We're gonna give whatever rules the Detroit Pistons had that we don't give it the Draymond and Draymond only and then we can all feel Better about it. So referees Referees media, whatever Draymond do we just gonna look the other way Cuz it's gonna there is going to be one, I think. No time soon. Then what happens then?

I'm not suspending him. It depends on what it is. Next, yeah, it might happen. Because now he's, like, basically put Adam Silver in his little pocket. He's like, Adam Silver... Adam Silver said, no, Draymond, please.

Don't leave me. Don't leave us, Draymond. That was a very smart thing to do. Draymond is entertaining. We need you to talk one more. He is entertaining, man. You ain't even got whippin' yet. Jayhawk's a smart man.

That was a power play on his part. Adam Silver was at my house. The idea of shit would be his first game back. Knock the shit out of somebody. And that'd be like I'm retiring. Yo. They'd retire. First game, first quarter. How you get... I don't think he's going to do nothing no time soon, man. I think he had a come to Jesus moment.

Come to Jesus moment. Yeah, I really don't think he's going to happen no time soon. Yeah, that one was all good. Even he had to look in the mirror after that one. That was sick. That was, come on, man. He did a roundhouse punch. No, stop, brother.

After a pitch, though. What made you, like, what made you like turn around and do this? The brother said be all you can be. The brother said, if I can't do none of this shit that I used to do, I just quit. This shit too much for me. Are y'all not listening to

what he said? This is too much for me. This is too much. Remember, it ain't happening to him. He said all this shit right here and talk about This is just too much y'all suspended me cuz I choked him. He's been me cuz I slept before got him I can't take this shit. I can't keep taking all these suspicions for fucking people up. What happened to the day my love? So either y'all adjust or I'm out of here, okay? Huh?

Either y'all just start looking the other way when I fuck a motherfucker up. Stop going to the goddamn replay. If you don't catch it in real time, I quit. No, it got to be a replay. Because you don't realize what he's doing. If you don't catch it in real time. It always looks way worse in slow motion. Yeah. Huh?

That's what y'all doing is y'all going to the replay, breaking it down in slow motion. Everything look worse in slow motion, huh, that's what y'all doing is y'all going to the replay breaking it down in slow motion Everything look worse in slow motion, huh? You start looking at the face You European mother I get worse in slow motion so y'all gotta take that future out like You gotta break down how he's saying it though he said that this is all this is all too much for me y'all over here suspending me taking my money and all I'm doing the community. This is it, man. I quit. I quit, Adam.

The black community is being my heart. I ain't kicking them. Nick, you played with the Warriors, won a ring with them. What was Draymond like as a teammate? He got a little bit of guilt in him. He got a little bit of guilt in him. What does that mean? Just like the talk. They like the screen. as a teammate? He was, well, he got a little bit of Gil in him. He got a little bit of Gil in him. What does that mean?

Yeah, just like the talk. They like the screen. Like, when I played with Gil, if I didn't do something right, he'd, the motherfucker ain't ready. Don't put him in. Say that shit out loud to the coach and shit. So Draymond did some similar shit. I shot the ball.

He was like, Nick, we don't do that shit here. We don't shoot that type of shot here. I said, Nick, Curry just shot the same shot I shot. You don't say that shit to him. He said, it's different. He won the championship. He ain't win shit yet. So I was like, all right, man, fuck it.

They took me out. Like, they like, I don't know why they like to take me out after, like, you cuss me out and take me out. Listen, look, I felt bad. Look, I do still feel bad for that. Yeah, to this day. To this day. still feel bad for that cuz we was playing with y'all we was playing Nuggets right? To this day we was playing Nuggets Y'all was already whooping our ass so we was already getting our ass whooped So the fact that he put four of them in there hold on we ain't getting our ass whooped for four motherfucking rookies to get in Yes, I mean, oh we have the beginning of the form you put four of them in already and then they coming in

We go down. Oh eight man if these two other fuckers ain't ready Get their asses out, but the thing is they was already down 18 you go down 22 Let us I had to take it out on somebody Your father fucked up Yeah. Hey, why you want to get some ice cream? Go get some shoes out of there, man. You like those? Yeah, go get those Louis, right? Y'all are fucking whining. Damn, I get that treatment. No, I feel so bad. Look, I feel so bad because they didn't see the flow. Y'all done played it for like a week, two weeks.

Yeah, it was like five against six games. We didn't play four. Like, DMP. DMP. Like, I feel so bad, man. We took you shopping. Guy got you a little bit. I had to shop, man. Go ahead and get you something nice over there, man. But you took your shopping guy, got you a little bit. I had a shop, man.

Go ahead, get you something nice over there, man. They start playing once they got a real blowout. They start gradually putting us in one by one. It was crazy. That's when I realized how much power the star got on the team. That's my first time of power. It was very early, too. I've seen it right away in my rookie year.

Let's get back to these Warriors. Currently 17 and 19. 11th in the West. Damn. I'm a LeBron fan, a Warriors hater by extension, and it's sad to me. It's sad to me to watch this shit. Not like this, y'all.

Tough it up. But how much of a difference maker will Draymond be back in the Warriors' line? I don't know. I think they still relying on the Steffs and the old guys too much. I think they need to play like Kaminga. Because they had a good young core that they never really let blossom with. Wiseman, with Poole, Kaminga, they did draft some good players, but I've never seen Wiseman again. He only played about five games. Kaminga now don't like Kerr. I think he don't really show that much interest in the other guys to me that much. So we're at 7-8 with Draymond.

You mentioned Kaminga. Let's talk about that a little bit. Obviously, Dray's back in the mix. After sitting the final 18 minutes of the Nuggets loss, a report dropped that Kaminga had lost faith in Steve Kerr. Kerr responded by saying in his 15 years as a player, he was frustrated about playing time every season. But you're watching the Warriors now.

You're looking at this squad. Should Kaminga be playing over Draymond? It ain't about who he should be playing over. He should be playing. He should be playing. There's minutes for him for sure. For sure. Lots of minutes for him. Lots of minutes for him.

Lots of minutes. Right, you're not, that's what I said, you're, it's his third year. Right? So what you have to ask yourself is, if he's not ready by now,

you got to blame yourself. Because you've had him for third year. You had him for three years now. So whatever you've been doing for the third year, it should be blossoming now. So the only way that you can see the progression is to play it. You're going to need him at some point if you're going to keep him.

If he hasn't went through this phase of playing through his mistakes, then when it's time for him to get big minutes, he's going to be mentally a rookie. He's not going to have the confidence. Right? So this is the time. Your team's shit. Right? Your team is shit.

For sure. Right? Your team is shit. So at this point, you just start looking around. Hey, young fellas, let's get some burn. Let's get some playing. Hey, we got the, what's that shit they call that now? Management?

Load management. Load management. Hey, Wiggins. Yeah, Wiggins you gonna have you gonna man? Next game a clay load management, right so you said I ain't got a chance Just do what that's the thing they can win Don't know where you gonna. Don't know where you know where like the only way you gonna win win is to get better through these guys. Like you did before. Yeah.

Kaminga is going to be a part of whatever success y'all have. So you got to play him. Play him 30, 35 minutes. Right? Just, hey, you ain't playing today. All right? You're taking a break. Kaminga, go.

Tomorrow, you ain't playing. Kaminga, go ahead and play. Do you think there's only minutes for him if someone just flat out sits out? I mean go tomorrow you ain't playing Camille go ahead play Minutes for him if someone just flat-out sits out But it make it easier for me if they not playing yeah, maybe like when like like when when when instead of 27 he can play 38 Hey, there's a reason John wall didn't play in Houston. It wasn't because he could play. Yeah. Right?

It was like, I need my young guys to play. Young guys, I ain't trying to win. Go and get a... CP3 out to mix. That's 28 minutes a game that just opened up that they can now disperse. Gary Payton, he's 39. There's minutes for him. Just the thing with it, man. If you want to play the guy you can you can find me five minutes

I'm sure trust me. Who is they for man over there? Jackson who's the first Jackson Davis played little four or five, but I'm even he's showing me He's got some good games this year, but I'm talking about without a dream on there like who was they starting? Yeah, I thought it part had to be coming. Yeah. Yeah Beyond his brother. I'm not even gonna lie to you. Without Draymond there. I don't watch it. I mean, watching Curry, we know what he's going to do.

Once Draymond starts whooping asses, I just want to see who gets fucked up this next game. Well, that's not going to happen anymore, Gil. That's not going to happen anymore. All right, y'all don't know Draymond. All right. So, Kaminga started in Draymond's spot during the... And how much did he average when he started?

Let me pull it up here. Hold on. Hurry your ass up, Steve. Ladies and gentlemen, we are a live show. He was playing real good. Niggas are not Doogie Howser. Kaminga, man. I like him. I think he's a young athletic man. A lot of people want to play. Man, I like him.

Yeah. This is what I don't like, because he's in his contract year. Yeah. So, because he's in the contract year, I'm pretty sure they don't want him playing. Yup. Because they're going to lose him. To this next, you know, oh, you know. They did just play Poo

with 150, but that was a part of the play. But what I'm saying is if they starting him and he playing 30 minutes, he started averaging about 15 a game, his value goes up. They probably don't want that ticket. If we can hold him down a little bit, give him like a five-year 30,

you starting that year, boy. Yeah, you're going to play 42. 42 minutes a game. He got to get more than that. He was 69, athletic. Yeah. Come on, you know how they do. Y'all know how they do, man.

Hold that value down, quick as shit. And they give you all the minutes. Got them on a discount rate. As a young player, how tough is it dealing with not getting the minutes you think you deserve and being in a position like Kamingo where you're a third-year guy, you really can't, you know. It's tough. You can use the media as much as you want, but. Yeah, that's tough.

Yeah, it's tough. I understand the pain. Both of y'all can answer that question. I don't wait. Oh, yeah, you play. I can answer that question. You're a star, but you did. You started off on a bench with the Warriors.

I know, but I started off, but I wasn't good yet. You know what I'm saying? In my mind, let you tell it. You always been good. I left the college when I was 15, 16. Why you have to be at 19? I left out of my second year. No, that was me bragging,

but what I'm saying is I wasn't NBA ready yet. I wasn't NBA ready, so I wasn't sitting on the bench thinking I was better than the guy in front of me. Because, you know, for the most part, it was Mookie Bailock

and Larry Hughes. So I wasn't better than them to be sitting there like mad, right? Yeah, I thought I was better. I know, I know. That's why I'm saying this is your question because you felt that you was better than the people we was starting.

No disrespect to who was the shot. The shot. And Antonio Daniels. Antonio, man, Antonio Daniels, bro. That was crazy. Man. He's a fan of the show, Nick, so just let you know. That's my dog, man.

That's my dog. I used to crack jokes with him and Gil when they played AI. Hey, there. That was Anna. He got dropped, not me. I was watching just like- She does not want to talk. That nigga made that man touch earth with both hands. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that man, hey. What? That man touched earth with both hands. So, Bruce being a certain starting lineup, December 14th, Kaminga's averaging 14.5 and two and a half assists. Shooting about 50 bucks in the field. That's nice. There you go.

But that's what I'm saying. As a coach, you don't see that? 14.5. 14.5. And that's off again, the dirty buckets, too. He's a starter, man. One thing, when he in the game, he looking for his, though. And 54%.

Even though you have Draymond, at this point, it's like, which one helps out Klay, Curry, and Wiggins? And that's the shit you don't... And he was out there with CP, right? Yeah, yeah. So you're out there with a guy who's passed first, ain't gonna turn the ball, gonna put you in positions to be successful, give you the ball where you can catch, shoot, catch, dunk, catch, lay up.

You ain't gotta do too much thinking out this bitch, I'm gonna give you the ball. Shoot it. Mm-hmm. Live. Yeah. I'm going to give you the ball. Shoot it. Lobbed. Yeah. So he's averaging more than Klay was as a starter? Sorry?

No, Klay's about 16 range, 16.7. Oh, he moved it up a little bit? How about Wiggins? That's another story. Oh, yeah. Man, I'm going to pay him. I don't think they got the money to pay him. So they got to pay him. I mean, Wiggins is something crazy.

Like, they're minus like 150. Yeah, they ain't got the money to pay him. Plus 150 play with that first hand ball. Wiggins is some crazy, like, they're minus, like, 150 with the monotour. Yeah, they ain't got the money to pay us. Plus 150 when he's not playing. Shout out Anthony Slater from the Athletics. It's rough. I mean, it's rough as a young player, but you got to mentally just, like, be in there. And, you know, Kaminga's statement, it lets you know that he's fallen to fallen to that that that negativity of like I'm

I'm mentally quitting yeah right and that's when he's supposed to really be stronger like even though you can't really think about you know Kerr at this point you got to think about this 29 other teams you just need to be better right at some point you know at some point you'll know when Dre gonna do Dre and they gonna need you again And when they need you again, you want to be a better version than the last time we seen you Yeah, so you go two years you don't play right? So here you're for you go two years. You don't play Last year you get more burn a little more burn

Right you're going to your four you come out this shit happen Dre mine out then got again now you doing your thing. Mm-hmm shit, this is my This is my time. I'm running back it. Mm-hmm. I don't play I've been averaging 14. Mm-hmm. All right I'm still a fragile in basketball mentally, mm-hmm, you're still fragile in basketball, mentally. Mm-hmm. Yep. I'm still fragile in basketball, so... And Kaminga's third year, so...

And no one is... having these conversations with me. For him to... For this to be a thing, you don't know how legitimate that is. So second year, second season, last year, Kaminga averaged... No, he said it's his third season. But last third season But last year coming average 21 minutes a game this year. He's averaging 22.6. So not yeah, I'm saying No, no, this is just this for the whole season. He's averaging 13 For rebounds. This is the first year. We won a championship cool, right? That's championship. Yep last year. We was all right

This year we sorry Championship cool right that's championship. Yeah last year. We was all right. Yeah, okay cool this year. We sorry We sorry as fuck. He's give me some time. He should be playing more. Give me some time your three That's not a plan. I'm sure it's no reason why he should he should be average 25 to 30 Yeah, I would just say like this I mean if cam can play 36 So there's a mega some motherfucking Vandal can play 36 minute then then the community played 48 at this point compared to a talent And all that shit community you can come to the Lakers baby, you know You come to like 48 minutes over here shit. We got some minutes for you Hey, I don't even need we don't even need to train for you just drive the fuck up It don't take my what five hours. That's how come on. What a journey or he gonna put you in

You're gonna put you in shit just put a jersey on Hey you get in 48. We got 48 for you over here. Red is the redness is alright though. I like reddish So I don't care what's Gil come on We gotta live here what you mean he's gonna play defense Do you know there's the other side of the ball too, right? You know this is the... He got to play offense, right? So half the time he's on offense too.

You know that, right? He ain't getting that, right? He gonna be dunking fly. Motherfucker took... He took six shots. He took six shots. That's because the motherfucker meant to be out of it right now. Then if he meant to be out of it...

It's like LeBron, he's like, you know, you're gonna be out of it. You're gonna be out of it. You're gonna be out of it. You're gonna be out of it. You're gonna be out of it. You're gonna be out of it. You're gonna be out of it. You're gonna be out of it. Motherfucker took, uh... He took six... He played 20 minutes. He took six shots. What the motherfucker took? He took six shots. That's because the motherfucker mentally out of it right now. Then if he mentally out of it... It's like LeBron, the coaches,

a lot going on. Everybody can't play in L.A. Listen, I can do that on... Listen, whatever your mental problem is, you can do that shit right on the bench. But the whole team have a mental problem. They can all put on the bench right there. They can all be on the bench right there.

I don't need... Reeves shot five shots. On the bench right there. Just sit right there on the bench right there. Reeves shot five shots. On the bench right there. Just sit right there. Red is five shots. D-Lo five shots. On the bench right there. All I need is five. I don't need to sub. Hey,

Bron, listen. I know you mad at me right now, but look, I'm not subbing you out. You the king, right? Go be the king. Go be the king. Go be the king then, god damn it, because you not serving you out. You the king, right? Go be the king. Go be the king. Go be the king, then, goddammit, because you ain't coming out the game, motherfucker. You serve yourself out, I'm calling a timeout. What y'all do?

Let's keep this thing moving, Gil. I call all my timeouts back to back to back to back, goddammit. That's what they doing, shit. They didn't play 40 minutes, lonely. Here we're going to talk about one of your favorite teams in the league, Milwaukee Bucks. Bucks have lost three of their last four games. What you about to say about that? Started taking a toll on their franchise player.

Giannis dropped 48 against the Rockets on Saturday. Wasn't enough to get the win. After the game, Giannis called out the entire team and staff, even the equipment manager, saying the following. We have to be better. We have to play better. We have to defend better. We have to trust one another better. We have to be better. We have to play better. We have to defend better. We have to trust one another better. We have to be coached better.

Every single thing, everybody has to be better. Everybody. It starts from the equipment manager. He has to wash our clothes better. The bench has to be better. The leaders of the team have to be more vocal. We have to make more shots. We have to defend better.

We have to have better strategy. We have to be better. So despite the tough stretch, Bucks are still second in the East, three and a half games behind the Celtics for the top spot. Bucks play the Jazz at home and are missing Damian Lillard for personal reasons, but what are the Bucks missing from what made them NBA champions?

Star, as always, talking to you. NBA championship lineup that they had? I mean, that's the obvious. We got Damian Lillard now Yeah, I remember you asking Lamis and Drew you said it was gonna be easy for a second plate like this is not this is not the Lakers or this Is not There in second place they were supposed to be running the East right now Cool

You don't even need the coach. He just roll him out there and go ahead and do it. That's what he did. And he's second right now because he's just rolling the hoops up there and coaching. But, I mean, this is more about what Giannis, what his leadership is demanding. He's not saying that we're not playing bad. We're not playing good. Everyone needs to be better at what they do right we're not we ain't no more looking around right ain't no more looking a the bench be better bench players water boys be

better water boy everybody do your part and get better at your part because if everyone's doing their part great we're gonna be we're gonna be great announcers announce our names better. That's the sense. He's just saying everyone, we need to just start looking at what we do and what we bring, and we just need to bring more as individuals. I don't care what they do. Boston is six. That's how you feel, Nick? What? Boston.

I'm with that. Chris Middleton has to play better, too. Chris Middleton can't play better. You don't think so? Hell no. He's not even playing that many minutes. That's good. That's a good thing. Leave his ass where he at.

I believe in Chris Middleton. They have no choice right now. They can't make no more moves. Do you think they can have no choice right now. They can't make no more moves. Do you think they can make a move for somebody? Man, they don't need no more moves. They just who they is. Everybody stop looking for help. They ain't.

Superman ain't coming, but we can trade. Lakers, we can trade for somebody. We need to do it. But at this point, we done showed them that the players that y'all won't ain't worth shit Why we keep going back to the Lakers I ain't gonna let you keep disrespecting Reeves like that I didn't say nothing about the Reeves and the Lakers Okay, which part of the Lakers? Listen Bucks is fine man. They know what they need to do.

They can do it. Did you ever have a issue with the equipment manager not washing your clothes properly? No. OK. But if everyone do better, do better. That's all it is. Do better.

More detergent. Do better. For sure. Get some Tide Pods in there. She probably could be smelling better. I wear a brand new jersey every game, so I don't know. He's probably talking about the practice game. Hey, didn't he get food back here today at our arena?

Mm-hmm. He did. You did what? Food. You wore a new jersey every game. I wore a new jersey every game. Because I threw mine out. Was that something you agreed to before the season,

or you just did it and they were like, all right, well, you just killed us? No, not the jersey. No, I did it all. That was my thing. You threw the jersey, people were moving out the way like- It crazy as hell. They're like, dude, what's that shit?

You tried that shit one year. You tried that one shit one year. They was like, ah! I seen the motherfucker jump out the stands. You remember when you threw your jersey to that tranny? No, we lied. You remember you thought- You remember you thought-

You remember you thought- You remember you thought- You remember you thought- You remember you thought- You remember you thought- You remember you thought- You remember you thought- You remember you thought- You remember you thought- You remember you thought- Mmm But do we feel like we... I'm fooling y'all. With Giannis' comments, including everybody else,

but was he trying to take a shot at the coaching? He said we all got to do everything better. He didn't say coaching first. But he started with the coaching first. He didn't say coaching first. Whatever he say first and last. Yeah. We have to be coached better.

He started with it. He said we got to have better strategy. We have to be better. So. He started with it. He said we have to have better strategy. We have to be better. So I think, you know, who controls the strategy? I don't think Giannis or Thanasis or Dame does that. I think his brother's got to be better, too. Giannis' brother's got to be better. He's got to be talking to Giannis better.

He's got to go get food for Giannis better. He's got to, hey, man, what's going on, man? You all right, brother? He's got to go get the ball when he had 60 better. He's supposed to, Giannis ain't supposed to be there. The brother's supposed to, hey, I got this. This is my job. This is what y'all pay me for.

People pay your brother for nothing else but to make Giannis happy. Stop LeBron tapping beat. I know. I know. I'm free to tap. Free to touch it. PTSD. PTSD.

PTSD. I forgot all about that. The Frito Touch? The Frito Touch is... PTSD? PTSD? PTSD? I forgot all about that. I didn't know you did, motherfucker. He gave you the brunt tap? Yeah, he gave me the brunt tap, man. I was like, oh shit, hold on. This is because of Mr. Frito. Are there any moves out there that the Bucks can make to improve their roster?

There's reports that the Celtics are trying to shore up their bench. Is there anything the Bucks can do to keep up with that team out in Boston? Lexi, what do you think? I don't think so. It's over? I think people are overreacting. I mean, I'm a Dame-Lillard fan, so I'm just like, he's still averaging 25 points. Is Dame being Dame?

They say he's not being Dame, they say he not being Dame, but I'm just like, he's on a new team, he's with Giannis, he's Super Bowl dominant, it's an adjustment. I think he's doing a pretty okay job.

How is that? They attacking his defense too. To be like a superstar on one team, to get traded and to have to adjust your whole game. I remember when you got traded

to Dwight, to Orlando, and you just lost your goddamn mind too. For a personal experience, how was that? Because I remember playing y'all again, you was just crazy out there. You was a gil. You had your beard, you had a big-ass beard, a hair. You just said, fuck life.

What the hell you go through? Like, what's going on? No, no, no bullshit. That was a real adjustment. Now, that was a real adjustment because when I first got there, I was being me, scoring, doing this. I got 21 and 9 and 8 coming off the bench. And everybody's like, yo, you should be starting. Then, you know just

the rumbles of that boom 15 minutes next game yeah right you know this person three minutes three minutes in hit three shots sub so then i was like well if i shoot he subs me out if i don't shoot he plays more so now i'm trying to figure out how how do i how do i stay in the game? And then this was the funniest shit. Whenever someone didn't play, like, all right, J.J. Riddick ain't playing today. I used to go in the locker room. Oh, he got to play me today. Oh, you got to play me today. Yeah, yeah, we ain't got no.

There ain't nobody else. Play me 20. J. Rich ain't playing. Charlotte, come on. Call my plays. You need my points. And it became one of those things is I only mentally came

to work when I knew that he had to play me. Other than that, I don't know what the fuck to expect. So at that point, it's like, alright, I'm going to just come in three little minutes. You're going to sell me the fuck out if I try to shoot. I got the wide over shoot. So if I hit this, I'm going to just come in. Three little minutes, you're going to send me the fuck out if I try to shoot. I got the wide open shoot. So if I hit this, I'm going to just... You just turn into Vanderbilt, whatever it is.

Yeah. That's what's up. I'm glad the world sees you. That's why you hate these motherfuckers. It was them. It was them. What a full circle moment that was. You got set up on your own show.

No, I'm not. Bill's Arena presented by 100-Dog Red if you want to know how I feel. Man, that shit hurt, don't it? I'll just be walking around and shit. It hurt being me, don't it? Life happens. I'm glad that shit happened to you after that. Turned into me, I'll turn into you when you left.

That's what's up. I'm so happy about God. God. Get that motherfucker out of here. Show him how it is to be a bitch player. That's the worst. How you going to lie? Dave, not to that point yet in his career, though.

Like, not to this. Obviously, the Bucs prioritize offense. I'm sure when they made that trade, they didn't anticipate that Drew Holiday would end up on their fiercest rival So shout out to the Blazers for playing a great game of chess Saying all right, damn you want to dip here you go, man. Here you go. You go ahead go to Milwaukee Not letting you go to Miami go say new Milwaukee and we're gonna give you holiday over to Celtics how you like that? but

Is Randy the bus could do to improve their chances? They need more defense? What do you think? That was a fireball. Why are we still talking about them Bucks? Fuck them. Fuck them Bucks. They second, man. They second, man, why we care about how they can improve.

They second! What does that mean? They're second. They don't got no fucking problems. Shit. They don't got no problems. Where were they at last year? Second? First.

And they second. Cool to a team that's better. They got a better team, so they won two. Cool. But if you're the Bucks, you they won two. Cool. All right. But if you're the Bucs, you're trying to be number one, right? You're not trying to get smacked

by that number one team. I understand the Lakers is doing what they're doing with, and we will talk about that, all right? We're going to do prayer circle after the show. We have our own fucking problems over here, right?

I don't give a fuck. We are in Los Angeles. I don't care about how I'm proving the Bucs, okay? I wish we was the Bucs right now. All right? I wish we had the record, the Bucs. I wish we was talking about everybody do better

Watch it. Why can't we had a speech? Ronnie can play on this team right now guaranteed and I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure at that point Yeah I'm pretty sure if he played 30 minutes. He don't get more than seven shots up He'll get it he don't get more than seven shots he don't really well he not that aggressive nobody shoot he don't he don't take the shots Yes, that's my dad. Yeah My dad said give me the ball Nobody shoot he don't he don't take the shots My dad said give me the ball

Darwin He went back the next day is like yeah, y'all know I can play with the Lakers right Hey, that's cold. We got to talk about y'all former team, the Wizards, a little bit. Specifically one player. So more than 500 players have played in the NBA game this season. And out of all of them, Jordan Poole currently has the worst plus minus in the league. So since this was posted, it's gotten even worse for Poole. He's currently at minus 343.

Oh, that look. For the season. Anybody that played for the Wizards, I just. And the Wizards have the third worst record in the league. You pray for them with you? Yeah, you got to lift them up. You can't talk bad about anybody that played for that organization. If you played for that organization, you need a hug. I'm telling you.

We're going to do some uplifting. Yeah. But we got to talk about you know Some best up first last five games pools averaging eight points forces to rebound shooting 40% from the field 20% from man. Yeah, we're here to uplift. All right, we've talked about Jordan pool previously We were riding with the Milwaukee native, you know won a championship Said his legacy was good, regardless, going into this season. It's good.

Thoughts on post-time with the Wizards so far? And how would you grade his performance as a man on the Wizards this season? I think the NBA graded him last. Trash. He did his last, motherfucker. That's where his grade is at? Shit. Damn. Negative. It was crazy. Good. I get he did last but for that's where his great To

That's crazy Like that's As the NBA played like we all laugh about like this is pointless stats Now this dummy just making up shit this one shit that actually like whoever got it even oh shit This is the analytic Though crazy blast but look at the Wizards though like you can't you can't name two people outside of pool on the Wizards like come on man like the Wizards It's the Wizards. I'm the limit survive with the Wizards. That's what that we should be applauding him for this he get paid a

Hundred something million dollars one. That's one Yes, Steph Curry and clay and he didn't pass them the ball. They said a couple right he didn't pass the ball He he he got Kuzma That's it. They got Kuzma over there you telling me that you scored eight and four in a five-game span and The second best player or order for at this point is the first best place Kuzma you can't not look Kuzma off you look curry off you look clay all effort to look curry off with a team is keyed in on curry

everybody's keen in on pool right now pool is the, so he gonna get all the attention. Every night. Every night he get double teamed. He ain't got a... Brother, nobody double teaming Poole. Who else you gonna guard out there? Ain't nobody double teaming Poole. Who you gonna guard? You gonna sag off whoever you guarding.

You can't name their point guard or their small forward. No, Kuzma's small forward. That's the only foot. We know that Obviously Kuzma get his shots Listen I can say this you should know that look window. I know the low-based is he don't shave he go through He went over there without shave looking like he played and played in... That's exactly how he arrived to D.C. Thank you. He was going through some situations. It's a help.

Cry for help. Help me. It should say help on the sign. Help. Mary, get the therapist there. They did it before. When we were stressed, what we did. They did it before. we were stressed what we did

They need Draymond whatever you did reverse it Reverse it hit thatucking back normal. Reset the reset. Shit. Oh, man. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Gil Zarina presenting my underdog fantasy. You have my gun so already downloaded. Have they played yet? Use promo code Gil.

They just played. Yeah, Dre was out. Dre was out. Damn. Listen, I guarantee, I know one thing. If Dre was on the floor, he going to shoot that motherfucker. Shit. How much he had against that?

Like, this is... They had, they had like some very nice sweet moments Well, no in the last five games have an ace and in between that he had to play them I know this is what I'm what I'm saying Why are you mentally Mentally thinking that this ain't your team. Mentally, like whatever you went to go to state with, it should have doubled here. Right?

And I think that's what happens sometimes. I think sometimes as players and you go to a situation, you try to be something you're not. And when you're trying to be something you're not, it actually hurts you. You're trying to be a point guard or a shooting guard or whatever you're trying to be out there. It ain't working. Right? It ain't working

for you. Right? It's making... You're last. I've never even... I've never even... Like, you last. Like, last. Who the fuck wants to be last? Right? Like, whatever you're doing right now has you last when you've seen that meme there's no way in hell you should go into the next game with the same thought process you should walk into that motherfucker hey hey y'all whatever I was doing before, fuck that.

Okay? I'm not looking for y'all, around y'all, right? Because I'm last right now and me passing y'all the ball and I need to move up just a little bit, okay? You're fucking up my reputation. Whatever we was doing here, fucking up my reputation, okay? And I need to be somewhere

in like the hundreds, cuz right now I'm in Oh, that's crazy. They're like a minimum minutes played with this that do we have any more information? Cuz I said what 500 players that I've played I'm saying over 500 players are played this season. Hey, he's at the bottom But you actually I was four plus minus Damn. He's at the bottom. Oh, God. But you actually, obviously for plus minus, you got to be on the court. Yeah.

A significant amount of time. For it to actually have some meaning. Well, the Lakers could use it. We don't need that bullshit. So pool game against the Warriors. We need pool last year. 20 a game. Yeah, we don't need that.

Yeah, but it's the Wizards. Man, it's that mother... Man, it's that mother of... Man, it's that fucking Ice Spice, man. Yeah, you put that jersey on, you lose your fucking mom. Nah, that Ice Spice fucked him up, man, paying $100,000 for that girl, man. That's what happens

with the... A lot of people on the Wizards paid that for some girl. Yeah, you should know that. You should know that, huh? She's legitimate. What's wrong with y'all, man? Fine five is a lot. Five hundred is a lot. He's made a fine hundred.

That's a lot. Five hundred, right? What's the reasonable amount? The pay? For ice spice? For ice spice? Ooh, I would love if I'll pay for that she wasn't even famous long I love that that's all fair good negotiation skills good but

some people do make love like fine love and that's the shop I love and that day he but she was famous for a long time that's all saying Latoya she was famous for a long time. That's what I'm saying. Latoya, she was famous for a long time. And just for the record, Poole has denied that rumor. He said he didn't put up $500,000. Yeah, but his game is showing like he did. Yeah.

So y'all just going to keep that? I'm riding with Poole. I support corner people. He was in the corner. If you in the corner shooting corner threes, and you have to go through the pain of being on the court with a star and they just pass it to you at last minutes and you get all the blame like you, like somebody like you, you know when you get the ball, you do everything

and you pass it, I have to wait for you to pass to me. That was pool. Wait, what do you... He did that with... As a wizard? Yeah, no, no, as a warrior. But he averaged 20 as a warrior. I'm just, we're just going to nip this in the bud right here. All right, man, look.

No, no, no, no. But he got three more years after this contract. Three more close to $100 million still left. The rest of your career, you're going to come off the bench. All right, I'm just so, enjoy the rest of it as a starter. Just enjoy the rest of this year as a starter starter because moving forward they gonna bring you off the bench you have lost all notion as a starting shooting guard point guard and this NBA yeah we're trying to be positive uplifting I'll let you know so

when it happens they don't fuck you up Moving forward you are gonna be a six-man. How did how does he avoid? Yeah, okay. You've been in the man with the Wizards. You have a Bell Shit so tie you break that motherfucking Look still here. I'm not rolling with that, okay? He just needs the right coach. He needs a new coach over there.

To do what? To help him make shots? Yeah. He needs something. Six-man, man. You can see it every time. Every time you try to put a starter, you try to put a six-man as a starter,

and they come out just like this, all right, man, good. We done tried. Uh-huh. We just tried. We still had some time. They would like this, alright man, we done tried. Wizards tried. They won like that though. Have some faith for your wizard brethren. I know, man. They won. Who are you going to come off the bench for? The Wizards not getting nobody.

First of all, he's traded. That's a good thing. Wherever he goes, they're going to put him on the bench. He's going to be a six-man grade. They're going to say, hey, we don't need you thinking just come in the game Razzle dazzle right you razzling you dazzling you gonna play you're razzling. You're not you gonna sit You're right you right you come in and call your day cuz obviously when they call your name with the lights on and shit Oh

Sorry coming in starting good Jordan who? Obviously that'll have you hype so That that's that's more like you That sounds better cuz when they when they cause your name as a starter Obviously you didn't take me at the heart that Michael Jordan theme song didn't get you hype. So it must be turn the lights on, everybody go up and down. Hey, Nick, get in. There you go.

That's your cue. Can you agree or disagree with Gil's sentiments? What if it's not having to be the man but still being able to start? Yeah, go to Milwaukee. What you see? Come on, King, tell him. Milwaukee need him. Yeah, it's...

Yeah, writing on the wall, man. I still have faith. After one season? I feel like... I got faith in him. He's going to be well... You don't have that big of a decline, man. That that big of fall off coming off the bench to start. He just Is what it is. He's easy. I just

What's their record and it look bad? 29 It looked best that like the numbers so if you watch it it look bad look bad and now you put the number to it. It's like, ugh. It's worse than I thought. Yeah, absolutely. It's worse than I thought. I didn't see eight.

I ain't going to lie. I never thought I'd see eight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He needs to be somebody six, man. He needs some structure, though. I feel like he just needs structure. Out there, they let him do whatever he wants. So I feel like he needs somebody like He needs somebody to, like Draymond

or Stella, hey man, come on, you're shooting too much, you're doing stupid shit. I think that's what it is. I think he went there, got put under structure. Oh, in the Wizards? Yeah, we're going to run these plays and I don't think he- I feel like in Golden State, it was still some type of a controlled chaos. He was still very chaotic, but it was still in the little Jordan Poole box that you had carved out for him on that team. And you come to the Wizards. It's like, huh, I feel like it's like, huh, that he out there.

You see the move he went, he thought about it, he went to the hole, dribbled backwards, and shot the three. Like, it was crazy. Like, nobody could do stuff out there on the court like that. Nobody let people do that. Like, he was on a fast break. He went to the lab and said nine like skip backwards was a yeah, but the but I'm saying but Before you'd been subbed for that. Yeah, I don't know I'm gonna do it. What happens when he miss it

I know he did You don't know how to play easy That's that YouTube ball is. He's a YouTube baller. A YouTube baller, man. All highlights, man. And you playing against starters over bench guys. You're the number one name on the scouting report. Yeah. I mean, he did not do that.

And people saw you get punched. So they take it there. You just climb in your shit and be... Yeah, he did get punched. Oh, this nigga soft, shit. Hey, this nigga soft, man. Shit. That was a cool punch. But I'm trying to figure out what, like...

When you look at the rest of the roster, who you think you're passing the ball to? But that's why I look mad. When we seen him in New York... Because he tried to do that. And he did that move in New York and shot that motherfucker the motherfucker over here. Right? That's what your hand should be. Goddamn.

Every time I touch it, you should be waving it. And I might see you. Other than that, I'm shooting it. Go get offensive rebound. That's what fucked him up. What? Thinking of passing? I guarantee you.

That New York play in preseason, where he did that move, and it went viral, and you seen the dude send his hands up, I guarantee you, he looked at that, read them comments and all that shit, and it started making him think about the rest of his team, not realizing, you don't need to pass him the ball. Do we feel like if that Draymond video never got out, it'd be a different situation? Draymond video.

From back in the day. The one hitter. He averaged 20 that year. He averaged 20. He averaged 20 though. No, no, no. What I'm saying is, after he got punched, if this is how he played, then it makes sense. If he got punched and then he played like what he's doing right now, perfect sense. But the fact that you were balling steel, and then you get removed, and then you're... Well, you think he was playing like that because he knew that he was going to get moved? He had to elevate his game so he could get paid. Or is he playing in a situation where they're coming elevate his game so he could get paid or he playing it in a Situation where they coming off a chip. Yeah, he's feeling good about himself playing for a franchise

At that point was committed to winning With some Hall of Famers. It's a different warriors wizards. It's a difference in every aspect It's probably in a culture shocker. You You get to be... You get to be... No, no. Everybody's not going to be James Harden. We've seen him being James Harden in preseason. That's the pressure y'all put on him. We've seen him being James Harden in preseason. You can't do that to somebody like that.

You've got to gradually let a quarter do... What do you have in New York? 41? You can't let... 45? What, in the preseason game? You have 45 in the preseason game. And we like, hell yeah.

Was that the same game with the... 41. And right after that, it's been declined ever since. He went viral and next game, after he had seven, one for 15. It was another preseason game, so obviously I'll say the preseason don't matter.

He went downhill ever since then. That teammate, your teammate looking at you and you start thinking about his feelings Right. Hey, oh Think about what Quran was like man, huh? You just start thinking about all she didn't be giving the ball when I say Hey, she does you okay? Yeah, she does you fucking fuck we have Corral when y'all left too though. It was bad for him. But that's what I'm saying, it's like he's mentally thinking about a bunch of players that they don't have a hundred something million. But the coaches, everybody is here too at the same time. This is new grounds for him.

Yeah. Everybody, you want this but you don't want what, a lot that come with it. You don't want what come with it. Yeah. You're sick of being a six man, right? Nah don't want what come of it. There's a lot that come with it, yeah. You're a six-man, right? No, hell no. I'm not moving. I'm not my dog. You think you're going to start the rest of the...

I'm fighting for it. Next year? You put him on your... Who else is going to be there next year? You put him on your podcast. What you going to do with it? Who else is going to come to the Wizards? Everybody that goes through the Wizards is...

No, he's not being part of the Virginia Wizards, brother. He ain't part of the... Are they moving? Yeah, they're going to Virginia, but he ain't getting it. They're of the Virginia Wizards, brother. He ain't part of the... Are they moving? Yeah, they're going to Virginia, but he ain't getting the... They're not the Washington Wizards no more? They ain't going to be the Virginia Wizards or something, man. The Virginia Wizards and Poole ain't a part of that. That is ugly.

Who going to be a part of it then? It don't matter. I know what person who ain't going to be a part of it. They trade him. So let's keep this thing going, man. I'm sure you guys are all wondering who's the best shooter in the arena. Well, it's time to find out next weekend.

We got the first annual Gills Arena Shootout presented by Underdog Fantasy taking place Saturday, January 20th at the District in Chatsworth. You shooting it? You didn't come to the qualifiers. He told me he could be down, though.

He said, is it possible that Draymond put that information out there of him retiring to get sympathy from everyone? I Don't know cuz nobody gonna feel sorry Everyone was not at this we'll get funny. It's funny. So I'm not sure what the point of that story was Yeah, not at this point.

Maybe until, I don't know what the point was. I mean, it made headlines. Yeah, he is good at that. To run numbers up for the Draymond Green show, I would imagine. I think that's the only way you could probably go. After everybody was talking crazy, say something like that. I was going to quit. I didn't want to choke nobody. Control the narrative. He's a smart guy. Yeah. I didn't want to choke nobody. Control the narrative.

He's a smart guy. And he was on his own platform and podcast. Instead of letting me report that. Shout out Athlete Empowerment. Yeah, he's a smart man. I'm going to come back and got to back it out of me. Oh, you know what? Yeah, I ain't going to be able to play no time soon.

Uh-huh. New contract, too. First day of his deal. Sit the rest of this one out. Yeah, this back ain't right. Get that back. Yep. Get that back. Whatever you do, Uh-huh. New contract too? First day of his deal? Sit the rest of this one out? Yeah, this back ain't right. Hey, get that back. Get that back.

Whatever you do, make sure you get your check. I ain't choke nobody. The fact that he said Adam Silver said, okay, Graymon, come on, just relax. You can choke three more people the rest of this year. Just two more. That's it. That's it. Please don't leave.

Next question from Underdog User. That's it. Next question from underdog user shit though. Our next question underdog user cash me out 89 Who was the first player in the knee league that gave you real work? Who was the first player in the league they gave you real work? Who was the first player in the league? You gave real work, too. I'm sorry. I'm fucking up. Shout out, Baron. On my unity.

The first person was Jeff McGinnis for the Los Angeles Clippers. McGinnis. Yeah, I gave him 32. Shit. Probably Gil. Probably Gil. We had one-on-one. We played one-on-one.

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah he was kind of come back from his knee injury though so don't matter did he play what rules we gotta play full court now what a world full court cuz let me get dragged in okay half court. Three dribbles. Have we actually ever finished a one-on-one game? Why not? Because I'm not losing. I get to the red. I quit.

He changes the rules. He keeps changing the rules over and over. We got 21 unfinished games. I've never lost one-on-one. That's why I said this shootout. yeah, I know. He ain't starting unless he really ready. Shoot.

So, Lexi, if you feel comfortable saying, obviously you are still in the league, still getting a bag from the W, who was the first player in the league you gave real work to? Diana. This past year. That was, like, my first, like, real game of, like, just hoping. I was getting to the MIDI layups Hit the game time layup to put us in overtime

It's the game ceiling three in overtime. I Was getting to it for the first time. It just happened to be against Diana Yeah, well, you know, you gotta say her full name. Yeah, that's her. I see. Yeah. Yeah One of the best ever. See, that's what you... Let me say that. Yeah, you got to add her accolades. It made it a special game for sure. Who's the first person in Gil's arena

that you're going to give real work to in the Gil's arena shootout presented by Underdog Fantasy? That man. This man right here. Point him out. Point him out. I want my name on the screen. If Lexi wins, it's Lexi's arena.

If I win, it's Lexi's arena for the day. Yeah, that's it. Y'all can work on the graphics. Y'all don't have to work on the graphics. I ain't gonna lose. It's okay. I'm gonna bring my own poster. And just put it on the front. So, Kanye, who was the first player in the league you gave real work to?

Fucking no. So long ago. Played so many basketball games. Look at you. Look at you. Dude, I don't remember nothing about that. He was a starter, so them... Yeah. Right? This one is lit. Them was a big old good ass team.

It took me fucking five years to get this moment. Gonna remember it forever. Yeah, I really, yeah. Who I... I think mine was the Lakers. No, it was like, if you just want to put a game on, like, a rookie or shit don't count. We was losing, like, we got swept, but it was, shit, the game four in the finals when I was, shit, I went crazy. I was just was a robber door in front of me and I went dead at his rack Like but before my rookie and I don't remember too much about certain games and shit like that like I own

I can't tell you Like who is down? I scored this many points in my in my fourth game like Yeah, I do play are you talking to anybody in particular came with that Yes, no, I just I really it didn't I played a lot of meaningful basketball games in my career Do you remember your 19 point 15 rebound game versus the Clippers in your 10th game in the league? No, I do not Okay, let's produce you want to be that that was the first what I know the rebound 19.15 we both I know the first two games. I know the first game. I was four for 16 I know that much know the second game. I was four for 16 and

Probably the game after that, it was a trend. It was a trend. So I know that I do know. The first two games, I didn't shoot the ball well from the field. But if the 10th game I had a double, that was a nice double-double. I had a triple-double my rookie year.

There you go. I don't remember who the fuck it was against. I had some time. I wasn't playing much because I tried to get off Gil until the coach was against. Yeah, that's the time of the plan because Maybe I tried to get off Gil total code. Hey, yeah. Yeah, so we could I Should try to get off until part midseason So I'm supposed to be LA guys Valley boy, no, I know love for the valley girl Yeah, just want to add a It was just one of them days, man, where you just try to figure out, take it out on somebody, man. You just figure out, fuck it, the rookies, man. There's no other way to do it.

There's no other way to do it. Shit going bad, rookies, yeah. They fall. So we got one more question. It's a video question from Underdog User. My name is my name. Two questions. One, does Wimby have a good chance of becoming defensive player of the year? My boy is leading the league in blocks. He also affects the offense of other teams while he's in the game. Every team that tries to drive in double thinks to put up a layup because my boy is 7'5". Going to block that shit off the backboard.

Question number two, you think Wimby's record with the Spurs is going to affect his rookie of the year chances? All these OKC fans are capping by a check, even though they know my boy Wimby is that dude, bro. Let me know what y'all think. So I love how like 85% of these videos, there's somebody in their car, I feel like he pulled over at least, but on the drive. Oh my gosh. And I was like,

we'll possess y'all to ask that question at that very moment. They got the plies going on, baby. So two-part question, does Wimby have a good chance of being defensive player of the year? I think he meant this season, I'm not 100% sure.

And will the Suns, and will the Spurs' wins affect his rookie of your chance He know more about the defense actually you watched again Is if he's leading the league in blocks, that's a thing so Is there a chance? Yeah, if you leave yeah That's what they normally go on his rebounds they put that in effect as well but it's not so with those two things combined if they solely going

maybe not but with blocks yeah the wins thing with the rookie of the year I don't think it matters the chair Chet ain't no fucking rookie. All right. Winby currently averaging 19 points, 10 rebounds, 3.3 blocks per game this season. He averaging three blocks a game? Yeah, 3.3. Yeah, okay. So, that's...

I think he's still in first place for rookie of the year. Yeah, because he's a rookie. He's an actual rookie. And we all are seeing how the Spurs are playing and how they're not really playing through him and how they shoot and all that kind of stuff. So keeping that in mind and still him producing those numbers is very impressive.

And I don't think he's going to win defense player of the year because they're still... I think that might affect their lack of winning. It might affect that. For sure. I think he'll win probably rookie of the year just because he's the main focal point of the Spurs and the other guy helped, I think.

But defense player of the year, hell no. Not with that record. But rookie of the year, yeah, for sure. I think NBA is pushing him to be the next big thing, so this will be a good way to add to that. Mr. Arenas? No thoughts on defense. Who gives, who cares? Mr. Arenas? No thoughts on defense. Who gives a, who cares?

In a sense where, I mean, is he going to win one in his career? Yes. You know, of course. Him and Chet, the way they play the game and, you know, their height advantage and they can alter shots, deter shots. You know, that's going to be calculated. So he will win one of these years, right? Within the next three years, he'll probably pull one. He'll probably be – he might make – he could make a second team, you know, this year, for sure next year.

Rookie of the year. His percentage is going to be worse than Chet's because Chet gets to shoot easier shots. But Wimby's numbers is going to probably be better all the way around, so I'm pretty sure it'll go down to the last week. So at this point, it's just these two. And a safe bet is just say, fuck it. Make them, if it's that close, just co-rookies. If it's that close, co-rookies.

How would you feel about the co-rookies? So you're rolling with that? Yeah, what is deserving? Like when you have two guys that's playing equally and you have a hard time, you got voters that's, yeah, I don't see why not. Yeah, it did with J. Kidd and Grant Hensel, why not? For sure, and before we go, so Nick,

you got a new podcast you started, On the Corner. Yeah, yeah. On the Corner podcast. Yeah. You follow it on YouTube. What can viewers expect from your show?

It's different levels of corners. Like, to go from a store, we're going to need that story.

To go from a store to being an other guy. That's for sure. That kid wasn't looking so good after he fell when he went to the Clippers. Yeah. He was looking funny. after he failed to when he went to the Clippers. He just looked at me. Yeah, when I got to the Clippers. Everybody turned into a corner picker
