This is Gil's Reader presented by Underdog Fantasy. We got the legend Gilbert Arenas here with us. What's happening? You about to go do some dirt after this shit?

Oh, no, man. Listen, it's wartime. It's wartime. I guess we all suited and booted. I'm a fatigue. It's time. We got Brandon Jennings back with us. No violence.

No violence. With a bulletproof vest on. It's dangerous in these streets, ladies and gentlemen. Rumor was. It's a tough crowd. Rumor was. It was coming in packing. It's a tough crowd out here.

Hostile territory. Okay? This is what comes with the territory. And we got Rashad McKedge back here with us. The big-ass greatness cap. Work. You got a little person in there with the heater ready to pop out. You know how we do.

Men in black style, you know what I'm saying? What's the shirt say? We're here for the work, man. The workshop. The workshop. Trayvon. The workshop. My new show, you know what I'm saying?

We're going to get it right for the men in the country. Oh, that's your new YouTube show. New YouTube. Oh, he got on the YouTube, the workshop. I know it's gonna be some things. Come on, man. I know it's gonna be some things. Line up. OnlyFans, FansBeat. I know it's gonna be some things. I love it. Black Men's Magazine, we taking it back to Jet.

Okay. Jet. They gonna put the link in the chat and on the show. Put the link in the chat. Go ahead and follow the workshop, get your minds right. I got dollars on deck. I'm telling you. I already know. We're doing calendars. Oh, you're bringing a bunch.

He's bringing back the 05-06. I'm telling you. I can't even. I can't even. I can't even. Let's do it. King Magazine. I'm telling you.

So here's what we got cooking in the arena today. The NCAA Tournament semi-finals tip off tonight. But who went in the chip? And what should they do with that $500,000 prize for winning it? Zach Levine is expected to be sidelined the next four to five weeks with a foot injury. But has he played his last game with the Bulls? That's an interesting timeline. We'll get into that.

And Xavier Tillman, friend of the show. You saw him this summer at Gibbs Arena when we were in Vegas. He is pulling up to talk all things Grizzlies. You coming to the studio? He's got a basketball season to worry about. Oh, I was going to say. Pulling up on Zoom. Zoom in.

He's zooming in. Zoom in, baby. Talk about the Grizzlies and the impending return of the franchise player. I need to put something out there. Listen, when people ask for active players on the show, the time we, right now, all West Coast teams is practicing right now. This is why the show is at this time, because this is when we went to practice. This is when we get our aggression out. It's easier for ex-NBA players to cope with this vibe.

So it's going to be hard to get active players in real time on the couch because they will actually be in practice. So most likely we'll never see a Laker over here. We'll never see a Clipper unless they just wasn't in practice that day and it was home. So, you know, just so we understand that this is our practice time. So while they're practicing, we're practicing. Just understand that. It was theory behind the madness. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No excuses, LeBron. You got to pull up. I don't care if you're practicing. KD. No, you're the winner of the Bronies game. You got to practice? Huh? I said, Bronies got to practice. Y'all don't practice enough. He live all the way in Beverly Hills a practice. Huh? I said, bro, when they got to practice?

Y'all don't practice enough. He live all the way in Beverly Hills, though. Then when he pulled up, right? What was that? Summer League. Didn't leave a little around the corner, though.

But like, if you notice, most of the players who do come, they come like midway through because they just finished training, too. Yeah. And then they have an off day during the season.

That's off day. Stop ducking the smoke. No excuses. Bring y'all ass over here. You know, they have to be training right now. I'm going to say, during an off day during the season. That's off day. Stop ducking the smoke. No excuses. Bring y'all ass over here. You know Dan Woods has to be training right now. I'm going to say, during the off day, I'm not doing nothing. Gil, if the team's in town and the player's like, Coach, I got to come on Gil's arena, Coach, you should be with it.

No, no, I mean like we should be able to get P.J. Tucker. Come on, I got to ask. Oh, Lord. You going shots? No. No, I love P.J. Tucker. That nigga got a whole house just for shoes he different

like when he first started I was like what's the point of this dude like he don't do nothing nah man he's a North Carolina guy he was Lil Barkley he was playing in North Carolina nah he went to Texas but he's from North Carolina so we seen him like a

he wasn't no hustle dude. He became that. He learned how to stick. And his comment was like, there's not enough balls going around. No, no, no. I mean, he makes sense. Someone has to sacrifice. Super ball.

I mean, for him, it ain't like he made the sacrifice more than he understood. Like, they ain't got this. They ain't got, I ain't got to go out here and try to. They didn't bring me here to shoot. Yeah, man. They didn't bring me here to defend, rebound, you know, be a good team guy. But, like, when people think about being an NBA player and why players stay on the team, you got to look at somebody like P.J. Tucker.

There's a reason that James Harden keeps him close to him. There's no fluke. He trusts that dude 1,000%. Gil, I had them cut the AC and the crib. I'm already sweating. It's going to be a good show. Y'all trying to get active today. You know it's going to be a good show when Gil starts sweating.

Okay. Okay. I'm trying to get activated today show with Gil Starks West. Okay. Okay. I'm trying to get activated today. He said no violence on his shirt. No. Leave him alone. Uh-oh. Yeah.

Yeah. Guess what my t-shirts look. You scrubbed the black off? Nah, that's how I get called cheating right here. That's how you get called cheating right here. Right? You got the white t-shirt that go ahead and lay right here. God damn it.

It started with you. We doing this because, you know. I didn't like my L. I didn't like my L. All right. We here for that. So when you ready to line up. Yeah, for sure.

The 16th. I'll be there. Yeah. Let's get into this lovely show. Enough with the trash talk and debauchery. NBA draft may be undergoing some changes sooner than later. Adam Silver appeared on Sirius XM NBA Radio recently, discussed his vision for the future of the draft. To me, it essentially seems like a no-brainer.

I just, again, you know, there's so much interest in these players. There's such a large global pool of them. And the other advantage to moving the second round to a separate night just gives more time for the announcers like you guys, the media, to have a better understanding of who those players are, a little bit more time between picks to talk about who they are and why they make sense for those teams. Also, maybe even more importantly, gives our general managers the opportunity to reset after the first round and say, all right, this is where we stand.

We got this player we were hoping to get. We didn't get that player. Let's reassess what our needs are. Maybe there's been some surprises in the first round. Take a fresh look at those pool of players going into the second night. So I'm hoping to get there actually for this season, for this June, and move the second round to its own night Hmm. So Adam Silver wants the NBA draft to be two nights one night for the first round one night for the second round

How do y'all feel about the draft trying to expand the two nights? That stupid fuck I Don't mind it Just go with everything we want to say. Just go with everything we want to say. Let him say it first. Go ahead, Gil. Say it again.

Nothing. Listen, that shit sound cool, but we watched the first 30 good plays. Nobody's coming back to see the weak second round. Now, Adam Silver, look, I'm going to help you one more time. All right? I know we had some meetings back when I pulled out that thing. I get it. I get it. But I'm going to help you on this one.

Fuck two nights. Just do one big night. But invite everybody who's supposed to be drafted to the green room. Trust me. When motherfuckers don't get drafted where they thought they was going to get drafted, you're going to hear a bunch of, oh, hell no. That's what you want. Make it reality TV.

Mic everybody up who's supposed to get drafted. Have them bring their family and friends. So people who don't get drafted, you get to see it in real time. Because I can tell you this. When I got picked 31, if I was mic'd up and had a camera in front of me, trust me, God damn it. Was you there? No, hell no. They lucky.

Because there wouldn't have been no pick number 32, 33, 34. There wouldn't have been none of that. I would have got them. Give me the motherfucking mic. What the fuck is wrong with y'all coaches and teams out there? Who is these people? Who is Raul Lopez? Who is that we come from come on? Don't do this. Where do you people at?

Raul Lopez he look come from Spain look like a model. He don't play basketball I'm rolling drop the mic got the fuck off. I'm rolling. That's some that's some yay shit. You like it, right? Come on Oh, man, I got no love for Let me do let me do let me do let me do shit good. What did you do on draft night? Crap, where's your at the crib? I was at my crib I was like, all right, let me go ahead and sit there and enjoy enjoy my work ethic for myself What was your agent telling you though? He said anywhere from like

14 he said the from like 14. He said the best like 14 18 to Portland no later than 25, but that make you feel good when you hear 14 cuz you're like, you know I like for got a chance at 14, you know, but we know Realistically like, you know, everything got everybody got to get picked the way they were supposed to position. Yeah. Yeah So it's like 14 18 25 those are my three things so

after 25 I Took my chain. Oh, yeah. Yeah do that in the box. That's a lot. That's a fucking lot. God damn right, nigga. Yeah, but I was... This is Jim Stones. But back then, it was the NBA thing, and it was like, I was an NBA player, and this is not how an NBA player felt.

So that's what I'm saying. If they had me that day, trust me, it would have been ratings. If you're looking for ratings, that's what I'm saying. All those players that... that make them all come mandatory. If you want to be drafted, everybody must be in this building.

And trust me, you're going to see the crying. You're going to see the fight. You're going to see whatever. So you should do. So I like the two days. So you should do the first 14 picks first. So lottery? So only lottery.

So only lottery the first day, right? So even if you are invited, so another rule should be- That 15th pick starts at the 15th pick next day. I like that. So the first day is only the 14th, and even if you are invited to the green room, you still got to come. So if you don't get picked, you still got to be there. Do they have to wear the same suit for both of them?

I'm just saying, no, make them come back in the same suit. It's on you. It's on you. It's on you. And the kicker on this is you have to show up to the draft. It's mandatory. Mandatory. So if you don't come, you don't get drafted.

So you have to. I like that, too. I like that because now you get everybody who was lied to by their representation. Tell them you're a first rounder. The first 14 picks is the first day. But media access. But the agents got to be right there with them. They got to sit right there. Family, everything.

Everybody in the green room. If you don't get picked, we sit there. All right, well, tomorrow. Tomorrow. And then there's always tomorrow. And then tomorrow's no green room. Everybody just sitting there like at a war show. Waiting for it.

Now they got to expand. They got to expand. Now that makes sense. Now you expand the lottery. Now people really get to go into detail Oh, I like what this or now now you give teams more time to make the decision you expand But instead of what was it was it a minute? Yep. No, it's what like the no, no, no, no, no, it's like Two minutes first round is five, right?

second rate of two Five minutes. Yeah, put it at ten minutes. Put it at ten minutes. Yeah. Every ten minutes you go through, that means that gives them ten minutes to talk about this player or the possible players that should be drafted. Top 20, like the top 20 kids get invited to the ring.

Yeah. It used to be 15 in the NFL back in the day. And you shouldn't let other, like you shouldn't, to be honest, I know it's the NBA draft. I know it's the NBA draft. There shouldn't be any NBA representatives talking about this. It should

be college personnels. Because that's the only one who actually knows their game. I'm going to tell you right now, there's no NBA TNT analysts, unless they do college basketball too. They don't know. I don't, like,

if you told me to do, they do March Madness, Gil, but I know your point. Somebody told me to do March Madness, like big March Madness events, and I said this, I don't know shit about them sorry ass niggas. I'm just being honest with you.

I can go up there, look at a couple names, and then fake it, but I'm not going to wait, I'm not going to do you disjustice. I don't know none of them. I can go up there and look at a couple names and then fake it, but I'm not going to do you a big deal. I don't know none of them. I don't watch JV.

I watch the varsity and the varsity only. If you have someone like me telling you about this person, I don't know shit about them. If you watch those events, you realize that the people who do do it don't know shit either. Exactly. You might want to go up there and get that back. You should have the Dick Vitale's and all those guys

Like Jay Bill is putting these guys into the NBA They should be the ones letting us know letting the NBA know letting the fans know who these guys are Versus the NBA just making up shit. Yeah. Yeah, but what if they come from overseas though? Buffer come over shape people. Yeah, cuz I don't like to my speaking different already do though. They over here people. Yeah, alright. Because I don't like Jay Billis. They might speak in different languages. They kind of already do though. They kind of already do that. Jay Billis, Jay Billis, Dick Vitale and you know they kind of- They announce it at night?

Well Jay Billis is there. Jay Billis. He's usually there and Andy Katz is usually there sometimes. He's speaking on the other side. Yeah. There's some Melanation in there though. I mean when you talk about extending the draft- The moody, the moody, the moody, moody.

What do you mean by that? Two days when you said like no no, it's like extending the the fur like the making it longer right minutes. No, no No, no the the lottery Extended no, like if you extended it past 14. No, no just 14. No, no just 14 It's best out of five minutes, 10 minutes. So do lottery one night, then back half of the first round and second round the next night? Yeah. All that in one.

That's both. Then that's like five minutes or two minutes. But what happens if you extended the lottery picks actually being to like 20? No, no, it's too many. 14. Because you're going to do two days, right? Right, two days, right? So the second round goes up until when?

60? No, it's still 60 picks. 54. So if you do 20 lottery picks. No, you want to do 14. But what is a lottery pick? Like what is the third? The top 20?

The bottom 14. The bottom 14 teams in the league compete for the the lottery first right? Let's win be you notice birds is getting like a you right they have There's a it's like a five star five star stops at what yeah You say if I saw stops at what this sounds like 20 24. I think I said their discretion I'm not like this. I said like top like top 24, you're considered a five star. 25 to 100, you're a four star. Right? So, lottery, I mean, it depends on how you want to do it.

Lottery, top 10, top 12. I mean, the way they do it now is fine. I like 14. They should just stop it at 14, and then from 15, second to- Well, what happens is it extends- 15 to 30 the next day. It extends the talent pool based on numbers that you're drafted at. So if you're drafted at 15, you're considered second round, right?

No. No. You're still first round. You're still first round. You're just not lottery. You're out of the lottery, my bad. Yeah, you're out of the lottery. Out of the lottery, right?

Yeah, you're just not lottery. So it's top, what is it? Top 20, what's the end of the first round? Sometimes 30, sometimes 31. No, it's 30. 30? It's 30. It's only 60 picks. Unless you get a pick taken from you by the league or whatever. Unless you get a pick taken. Right, so the conversation now is like

alright, if you extend it to top 20, it allows those top 20 players to now dictate other moves because now they're considered still lottery picks at a greater distance. If you're going to switch it to two days, it's got to be entertaining. Right.

That's the entertaining part is being more lottery picks because now it's like 15 and on after you get picked 14, it's like, oh, I was the last one in the lottery. Oh, I made it. It's four. It's six more picks. Yeah, I mean, yeah, but that's tomorrow. But to be 14, that's what everybody knows. To be the first 14, that's what it is.

But it could be 20 guys in there. It's just, hey, five. Like that first day should be able to celebrate by themselves. I like that even though if they waited for tomorrow, they would be the highlight of tomorrow's day is that first five. I mean, maybe, yeah. That would be the highlight entertainment reel of it is the next five. You got to wait until tomorrow to see who you got.

Boom. Yeah, to see who the next five. It is still in the lottery. You guys said green room full of players. I just like the green room, make sure everyone who's supposed to get drafted, who thinks they're going to draft it, everyone must show up. Yeah. So green room full of players, what about a separate green room full of work representatives from each city to get their reactions man be speaking my language T I can do this at 31. There was no work. I was not looking at no work I don't know who my phone was thrown. We're all working on. What was that? Yeah, I was in New York, right? I

was in Santa Monica the driveway you what I was I was a no I was a Marina Del Rey in my condo hot you was avoiding the work then I was hot don't nobody want to see no work going on no where you is I mean if you the top I mean top three five picks and you went where you thought you was going to go, oh, yeah. Let you say you were supposed to be two

and your ass went five. I'm trusting you ain't happy. But I'm one of the ones. You ain't happy. You better get on board. I'm one of them. So let's keep this thing moving. Silver also addressed

the CP3 and Scott Foster situation in the same interview. Scott is one of the most respected NBA officials is one of the most respected NBA officials, one of the highest rated NBA officials, which is why he referees in our finals games. And of course, Chris, you know,

track record speaks for itself. You know, the way you handle that, at least the way we've tried to handle that, is talk to both of them and say, the expectation is you're going to be professional and deal, you know, you know, privately with the two of them and just say, you know, this is guys, you know, whatever the bad blood is between you two,

you don't have to be friends, but you got to go out, both go out and do your jobs. And so that's my expectation going forward. I mean, that really sounds like anybody in any work situation. But in this clip, Silver says the league has spoken with both CP3 and Scott Foster, but after the Warriors went over to Blazers on Wednesday night, CP3 was

a little confused by the commissioner's comments. He said he talked to us? Yeah. Nah. He said there's been talks. Nah, ain't nobody called me since all that happened. Did you expect them to call? Yeah, I mean usually sometimes they'll call,

interview you, something like that. Ain't nobody texted, called, or nothing since it happened. Did you actually see the comments he made? Yeah, I got a family. I got a whole family. So when you saw them, what was your reaction when you saw that? You're like... I don't know.

I haven't talked to Adam, Byron, nobody. You know what I mean? I talked to Byron, but I had to call him. He ain't called me. So yeah. I don't know. It's weird. Yeah.

Do you expect anything to change? I don't know. It's weird. Yeah. You expect anything to change? I don't know. Ain't nothing ever changed. You know what I mean? As far as that. That's what happens when you, you, uh, you part of the union. The shit you want to say, you can't say. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh.

Woo! Y'all know. Ah! Ha, ha, ha. You know what I mean. Woo! We understand what you. We got it.

Trust us. We get it. We get it. Do the translator, nigga. Translator. Can y'all translate this for me? The motherfucker said, this motherfucker right here. This is my ass.

I'm going to beat his motherfucking ass when I see him. I know this motherfucker. The translator is basically saying, yeah. Yeah. Is Silver just protecting the refs like he should or is this a deeper situation than that? He's protecting his league. Yeah. Y'all donall don't gotta like each other but god damn it you're protecting his league

so then i mean this goes back to the same question we keep asking does scott foster need to officiate any more cb3 game like if there's a documented beef between two dudes y'all know y'all don't like each other for whatever the reasons are. Man, get his ass up out of here, man. 20 times against one player? He wants to go to the finals. There's no Scott Foster gonna be there. He gonna wait for you. He gonna be in one of them games. So y'all might as well lose to the Lakers again in the first round. Y'all got plenty of refs.

I don't give a fuck how respected he is. Y'all got plenty of refs to go around. Not for what he needs. That's his guy. This is my guy. He come through in the clutch. Come through in his guy. This is my guy. He come through in the clutch. Come through in the clutch. Tony was my guy.

It's a business. And for the business itself, this guy is good. He's really good. You know, for the business itself. For this player, unfortunately, that's what it is. Here's the problem because I already know the answer, but we're going to throw it out there. We know that you're not gonna do nothing to Scott Foster for cp3 right right you're telling both players that

you told them both people to do their jobs one is doing his job he's showing up every fucking game and the other one Scott Foster is not doing his he's not doing his this becomes a personal thing for him. And he's letting everyone know this is personal. He's letting the whole league know. He's letting Chris Paul know, motherfucker, you have no chance of winning. So one is coming to work, one is not. Now,

you don't want to take Scott off of CP games. CP, how about this? Stop playing games Scott Foster's reffing. Now, the question becomes, how

long before Adam Silver tries to find Chris Paul for missing those games? Wow. Well, he probably won't now because it's probably towards the end of his career. It don't matter. But Scott Foster's going to have at least four or five CP games this year. So if he decides to sit all those games, I guarantee you the league steps in

and tries to penalize Chris Paul for missing these games. Knowing damn well if he plays the game, he knows the result. He knows the result. Like, why am I going to walk up into this ass whooping? This is an ass whooping. Let's take it a step further. It's a lose-lose. Yes.

I'm sitting down. I can tell you this. I'm sitting down. You sitting down? Yeah, I'm sitting down. Oh, shit. Oh, wow. Right before the game.

As soon as you come in, you walking good, though. Then they hand you the who playing who reffing tonight. No, I'm hurt. Because I can tell you this. Because at this point, I'm going to prove a point. Chris Paul, hey, you are a winner, right? And we already know when someone is vindictive, we know how they think. If you miss the game, what he's going to decide is who's still sticking to you.

He's going to let your team win without you. We already know how that works. Oh, yeah. See, this could have been you. Hey, woo! They won. You wasn't on the court. Right? That's what you do. That's what you do. They're going to try to get you

either way, so he's going to let your team win, which gives you the team win. Reverse psychology on them. I'm rolling. I'll take it a step further. If you get Steph to commit to it... No, they ain't going to win if somebody plays. But my point is, like, yeah, we're not gonna. National TV game, Foster and Fishade, we're gonna go

take a seat. For Adam to get up there and do all that, say all that, and really, like, act like CP has some type of hand in it, like, oh, it's both of them. It's like, that's so... Like you said, if you're gonna protect the refs, do it in a way where it's gonna be beneficial to the game. Like if you're going to protect the refs, do it in a way where it's going to be beneficial to the game.

Like you're not rewarding the refs by not penalizing them for the bullshit. We've seen more bullshit ref-wise this year than I think we've ever seen. It's been a – yeah. Yeah, but he's looking at it as like CP's just another player. But that's what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying? So they're looking at it as any time any player come through, well, you're going to be here for a minute.

And they've done that. They've done that through the years with everybody. They've acted that way. But people will say, like, yo, that's horrible advice. No. It's not horrible advice. If you want change, if you want change, you have to change. Right now, CP is showing up 17 games.

Yep. He's came to play prepare 17 games to try to win that game The ref himself has came into this game knowing He's gonna rig it. So this man I don't like you and I'm gonna fuck you up every time allegedly whatever the result is the result i don't care i don't that's true i don't care how we try to phrase it or whatever 17 we we see the outcome of these games of what he's doing right so we can we can confidently say all right he's on some bullshit. Right? We can say, you're on bullshit. Now, the only thing to do, if I don't want him on my games, I have to boycott it.

Mm. Yep. Me showing up to work, I'm not being treated fair. Yep. This is a, technically, if this was a regular workplace, this would be considered a lawsuit. Mm. You're putting me in an invite a stressful environment I'm being put in work for a guy you know that don't like me you know he's not gonna

give me the benefit he's not gonna be fair he's not gonna do this you're putting me in the workplace knowing the outcome already we know the outcome it low-key is a lawsuit lawsuit. That's a lawsuit. Me too. In regular... Me too. What happened to me too? What I'm saying, in a regular workplace, if we told you, hey, I know y'all got beef, you still got to go to work

with your boss knowing your boss is going to put you through the wringer. That is a lawsuit. But because he's a professional athlete, go and take your loss

with your teeth. Wow. Fuck you and your feelings is what your teeth. Wow. Fuck you. Fuck you and your feelings is what this is. What you're saying is when you have- What I'm saying is, see, Pete, every time you see Scott Foster's name, you make it a point. Hey, I'm hurt. Load management. See y'all tomorrow.

Load management. I'll see you tomorrow. See y'all tomorrow. Eventually, what is going to happen? Media's going to be like, hey, man, Chris Paul has missed the last three. Now it's, hey, Chris Paul has missed the last four games against Scott Foster. Then Adam Silver is going to be like, all right, we're going to see this next one. He misses the next one.

They're going to call. Hey, if he misses another game with Scott Foster, we're going to find him. We're going to suspend him. Of course you're going to do that shit. Damn. Speaking of. What if they just put Scott Foster on more of their games Knowing that no, I'm betting against these niggas Chris Paul will not play Cuz we put Scott on the last

Scott still gonna want to make him guys gonna want to make him look bad So he's gonna he go go like at the end of day they gonna win or whatever. They're gonna have a better chance. So Let's just come on Understand people this let's just put our said let's fuck sports. Let's just regular life We know you got an enemy, right? We know you got it to me, right? Allegedly allegedly that no that ain't no legend we Right if you if it's between if you got the whistle on making calls for that person or not for that person to win a game

You got 10 games are they going 0 and 10? I am a neutral Ask me What you say? Say something else, brother. And moving on. It's over for you, nigga. I ain't playing. Say something else. You might as well not lace up, god damn. Where the weed at? I'm telling you, right before you get out, don't do it today. You might as well sit this one out.

You might as well. So speaking of sitting out, some interesting news coming out of Chicago. On Wednesday, Shams announced Zach Levine will miss the next three to four weeks. We're right right foot inflammation But today that's the little screw thing no But today he said it could actually be four to five weeks It has been previously reported that Levine and the Bulls are open to a trade So I got to ask you gentlemen I feel like y'all can read between the lines and with that right foot inflammation really means

Has that let me play this last game with the Bulls tax yes mm-hmm? right Right foot is like tendonitis man cuz look what you're saying is you're seeing right foot because that's not your jumping foot So you don't want to give the illusion and you can't jump no more right foot out I don't need this one, but it's it's swollen enough not to play no more Oh, oh we All week swelling no fractional net just a tread day line starts December 15th, right? No trade eligibility starts to 15 for some teams with contracts and then also January 15th. I bring you to my next point

So what's interesting about the Levine recovery timeline is that it puts them back on the court around January 15th, so I bring you to my next point. So what's interesting about the Levine recovery timeline is that it puts him back on the court around January 15th, which is when players like D'Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura would be eligible to be traded. Stop it. What do you mean D'Angelo? That is not what's in the... You heard what he said? The man's name.

You heard what the man said? I don't want... This is a true Laker fan. D'Lo. This is a real Laker fan. It was AR-15. I'm brother with the squad. When did you put D... I'm just telling you that certain players' contracts. It's a real Laker fan. It was AR-15. I'm brother with the squad. When did you put D-

I'm just telling you that certain players' contracts, certain players' contracts. That's his squad. Hey, look. Lim and Daddy. Lim and Daddy also available. Take that shit. No, no, no. Lim and Daddy.

And dope up some- I mean, Lim and Daddy been balling so soon. I mean, it's hard for me to trade. Listen, we can get that Miami motherfucker out of here. All right? He can go. Nobody want him. Huh? Nobody want him. Huh?

Nobody want him. He got a name, bro. Give him a chance. We can go and get Gabe. You couldn't wait to get him there. I couldn't wait to get him. He ain't been here. He's still in Miami.

He at Tootsie somewhere. He ain't here. Putting on that purple and gold with the Miami. They ain't playing him. Pat Riley wouldn't do this shit. I don't know what's wrong with him. But if he was in Miami. I guarantee you'll be playing he come over here He want to be Hollywood. He's your ass back to the South Beach. She said he wearing on Dave is it man of the people don't even need to go back what is wrong with him Santa?

But yeah, whatever is wrong with him the man's already for three three four thirty three. I think it was the deal He so he like he live where he live at out here I was wrong with him the man's already for three three four thirty three. I think it was the deal. He's Where he live at out here Okay, I see Ladera heiser there's several pockets that he could fit in nicely. Ladera Heist. And Mike's Deli off to just get it. He's going to be on the wall at Mike's Deli soon.

That's what I know for sure. Listen, man. D-Load and Rui is gone for Zach. So our signs pointed to Levine ending up in the purple and gold based on how it's structured. Obviously, his relationship with Clutch. Clutch's relationship with the Lakers, you know, been very beneficial, led to a championship. Shout-out Rich Paul, friend of the show.

Rich, you know, we're not going to tell you what to do, but we're not going to be mad if you do it. Zach Levine to the Lakers, I like it. Huh? I like it. Zach Levine to the Lakers, I like it. The Lakers look good right now. I don't like that move.

Huh? Come on, man. Now you trying to know. Don't do that. Y'all look good as is. I like it. It looks a little good right now. I don't like that move. Huh? Come on, man Are you trying to know don't be y'all look y'all look good as is Fuck y'all up. No, I do that. No right now. Are you saying that is Rashad McCance or is Rashad McCance a Celtics fan? I'm saying this saying listen You see the adjustment time to these motherfucking teams been making with the trades and shit It's gonna take out another 30 games before y'all get this nigga acclimated check this out Making that making that trade for Levine gonna take the pressure off ad so they can stop this ad stuff that everybody be doing ad ad

This ad that a yard got so we can stop all this ad stuff So everybody act like ad ain't been hurt, but they want to be on 80s head I mean so now just so And as the fans pointed out, Gil... AD's been hooping, too. I was at home minding my business yesterday after the show doing what I like to do. AD was a main reason that the Lakers made the playoff last year when LeBron

went down. Averaging what? Like 27-28. He took over those responsibilities. People watch the show, Gil, and they know that I'm connected to you, so they come to me because they know you won't respond to them. You don't even take incoming calls on your phone. Anthony Davis?

Hey, you know, I... Anthony Davis? No, no, what you was going to say? Bump your gums. Anthony Davis? Not letting Bump your gums. It's Thursday, Mr. B said. Bump your gums.

All right, so y'all be giving AD all hell, right, for like what he doing, not doing potential because he be hurting and all hell right for like what he doing not doing potential because you know He'd be hurt and all this right. So why y'all don't say that, you know about D Rose Hmm so why y'all don't bring that up about it D Rose No, I'm asking like, you know you saying because you guys say potential and this is not the point thing about D Rose But what I'm saying is he's played at an MVP level right right? And he's dealt with injuries just like AD has, and AD's a champion. But every time AD doesn't step up, it's like, y'all give him hell. But it's like, but y'all wasn't doing that to other players.

Like, okay, like what about the Grant Hills? What about- We did- No, no! No, they got wiped out! I was on! And not just D-Rose, but Grant Hill. All these guys-

Ah, D-Rose had the handicap? All right, I did that already No. Oh, yes that he's the I said he's the Bugatti with a spare spare spare tire as legs No, come on we did know we did the D roll Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I said he a Bugatti with the spare tires. I never heard that. A Bugatti with the spare tires. I said he a Bugatti engine. He got the spare tires on all four. That is not fair. Soon as he rub his engine, boom, gone.

The little spare tires? The little spare tires. Shit. You know, the 50 miles or less, you can't go over 50 miles per hour. You can't go over about 35 miles per hour. No, no, what I'm saying is, think about it. When you get injured to that magnitude right we can see that You you're done the athleticism that is that we know D Rose wasn't gonna be back to where he was

He was coming back kept getting hurt right 80 will never get back to like what did he wouldn't injuries did 80 hurt? What New Orleans? He heard a thigh bone. Right? We ain't got, I don't even know if we got bones in the thigh. He hurt a calf muscle. He hurt a pinky. Bro, he had a growth spurt.

So, look, you riding with AD? I mean, what I'm saying, he ain't had no. You riding with AD? No, I'm saying, yes, I'm riding with AD, and I'm saying get off AD's back. He ain't, what I'm saying is he ain't torn no ligaments and stuff like that. Like, I need to get off AD's back. That takes away his abilities already. No, I need to get off 80s Why

You want to go to sleep the brown Waking them up in the middle. Hey, hey, you open, hey, you know key over the back door man. No nigga This is double agent talk right here. You can see what he's doing You up first of all, you a Bucks fan you trying to put us against our old team. We've not fallen for that, bro Ad is he good. I got my boss of you right ad good D. Lo good Rui Japanese. a boy good you stick with your fucking sorry ass boss tea you stick with them don't don't I was asking a question the question yesterday the energy was so crazy and I didn't like that you right any good I had to bring up other players that's been hurt that's just like wait hold on

they don't like y'all y'all a lot of L eight, y'all love the Lakers, but y'all be on AD's head. Nick-knack Kawhi get a- Kawhi, like, yeah. He gets a crazy pass. Yeah, not just- He gets a crazy pass. All these players get- All these players- We ain't talking about Kawhi.

None of these other players that have been hurt that hasn't still- PG, PG, too. They put a whole rule in. PG, too. PG, Kawhi. They put a whole rule in because of them. He said it wasn't because of them. Well, AD wore a tough crowd. So that's why I'm rolling

That's why he been playing this whole he got a tough crowd Back off I've seen him coming through the airport one day with a tough crowd shirt. So watch out, man. That's the energy you're doing. Are we trying to defend yourself? Watch out, bro. All right, so we got to shut this down a little bit early. We got a very special guest pulling up to the arena, and he is ready to go right now, take time out of his day to come join us.

Friend of the program. We first linked up with him in Vegas. Man of the people. Entered his fourth season with the Grizzlies out of Michigan State. Xavier Tillman, welcome back, and we appreciate you pulling out. What up, man? Okay, we got the Grizzlies in the background.

We got the Grizzlies in the background. And he in the arena. See? Like Gil said. Like Gil said. Yeah. We just finished up, yeah. So, Xavier, you've been working your way back from a left knee injury. First and foremost, we've got to know how you're feeling right now.

Oh, I'm straight. I'm straight, yeah. They got me right ahead and take a couple shots in my knee, but I'm good now. I'm back. Oh, oh. Man, I'm shy. I've been there, done that, man. Yeah, nah, I'm not a fan of needles.

It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. But leading up into it, I asked my wife. I said, can you come with me? She said, can you come with me? She's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll be there. But it was cool. Nah, I feel great now. I'm good.

So let's talk a little bit about the Grizzlies right now. 6-14. Obviously, the team isn't whole. We already know what's going down. We're waiting for 12 to come back. But what's the mood been like in this first quarter of the season for the squad? So interesting. The mood has been so, like, up and down and up and down.

Like, at the very beginning in training camp, you know, Ja's in there with us and we're competing and stuff like that. And you forget that he's suspended because you're in the mix right he's in the mix he's doing drills we're going back and forth um you know winning games against each other in the scrimmages and we're like oh man we're gonna be nice and then we get started we're like hey where he at like oh yeah he can't come to the games so we're like oh shoot okay okay um and then actually right after training camp that's when steve-o had announced or after preseason steve-o had announced that like he cannot play on his on his knee so then that was like oh man

so now we don't have steve-o you know for sure we don't got jaw and then we knew bc maybe this year but an achilles you really don't want to play with you want to make sure that you back all the way so yeah this has definitely been up and down like we've had our moments when we lost a couple games and the spirits was actually up because we're like hey like we gonna figure it out we're gonna figure it out but then we had some we lost like too many in a row to where we're like golly bro like like something got a shake so it's it's definitely been um it's definitely been up and down for sure we're trending now we're trending in the right direction i think we're like three out of four it's not three out of four,

but three and one in our last four games. So we're trending in the right direction. We talked to you about in Vegas about you guys going to have some early struggles just because you lost 12 early on. It was something that you didn't really disagree with or you didn't agree with per se. But as you see you guys' struggles early, it doesn't look like the struggles have anything to do with the team chemistry.

It's just more of the things that you guys lack from your stars that would have made up for a lot of the things that you guys need in big games or close games, things like that, where you need a facilitator like Ja to come through and make a play or offensive rebound from Steve-O or something like that. But I think that's where you make up the ground for that. I think your mentality and the way that you play can make up for Steve-O's absence. But what's that energy like trying to make up for what you're losing? I think one thing that we kind of put our rest our hat on is that chemistry like you talked about like ever since i've been here they always talked about the grizzlies being like a the only college team in the nba like our energy the way

that we're crashing each other's interviews during post games and stuff like that the way that we're all you know talking trash together on the court the way that we're all, you know, talking trash together on the court, the way that we're all really just together, I think that's something that, like, you know, as long as I'm here and stuff like that, as long as I've seen, like, we will rest our hat on just being together, no matter if we win it or we lose it. So that's something that we're going to do no matter what. It's just we just got to figure out our recipe to win games

with the lineups that we got. But, Rashad, what's up with the hat, though? I didn't see what's up with the hat. I thought I was tripping, and then it didn't. Nah. Nah, you're not tripping, man. You know a fly guy when you see one, my nigga. You know what I'm saying?

Okay, that's what that is? That's what that is? Okay, cool. He's like, is my screen swollen? Nah. I don't see it. You's like, is my screen swollen? Nah. See, you're like, huh? Nah.

He's the big cap. Yeah, big capper. You know what I'm saying? That's all. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. For sure.

For sure. Real quick, though. Real quick. I got to give my respect to B. Jennings, though, because I remember when he made that announcement back in the first episode, and I was like, bro, you're crazy. We're not going to be Jennings though. Cause I remember when he made that announcement back in the first episode and I was like, bro, you're crazy. Like we're not going to be three. I think he said like three and 13. And when I had looked back on it,

we was three and 13. I'm like this nigga here. He just called it. I'm like, there's no way he just said that. Cause I was thinking about my Detroit days when we were sorry and we, and we didn't have nobody. We started off like three and 13, five and23, so I was just putting it on them.

So I was just, damn. That's crazy. Training camp gives you, like, the best thing about training camp, it gives you hope. It really do. Like, you practice against each other. You're playing. Like, you're playing. You're winning games.

Like, you're starting off in preseason, and then when that regular season hit, it's like sometimes you get hit hard early because of certain teams. Them first 10 games in the schedule can either make your season or break your season. Right, especially if you're not mentally ready for it. So you can look at some schedules and be like, yeah, I don't think this team is going to be ready for the beginning because you

lose two good games and then you play a sorry team supposed to win. But that, that negative mind that you already have, you know, you start looking at that schedule. You don't already quit mentally. Yeah. We had teams,

we had teams close to us. Uh, so we're 13 right now. We had Utah and Portland right close to us. They both smacked us. We went to Utah. We lost by 20 or 30. Went to Portland.

We lost the first time in Portland. And then we had our first win against them after that. But, like, we're like, man, we thought we were supposed to, you know. At the time, they were still, like, kind of bottom teams, too. So, we're like, oh, we're supposed to have these games. And that wasn't the case. So, like, that confidence that you talk about talk about like you almost got to find you almost got to not fake the funk but like get like some inner confidence without actually looking at the results of the

wins because like you know if you start off bad it could really mess up your season and that's not what we're trying to have for sure let's talk about the positives though grizzlies gave the pistons their 18th straight loss wednesday nightmond Bain dropped a career-high 49 points so Bain signed the largest deal in Grizzlies history this offseason and he's increased his score into 25.1 points per game this year which is a career high so what growth have you seen in Bain during your time together with the Grizzlies I've seen a lot of growth from him being like a dead eye spot up shooter. Like his rookie year, he was breaking like Mike Miller's records for most threes made in the season. It was crazy. And then his second year, it was like from spot up to now, he's hitting pull ups. A couple of nice finishes around the rim. But really just like if you drove him, if you got him off three point line, he'll stop on a diamond.

He'll hit a mirror and he's like, it's nothing nothing and then coming into this year or coming into year three where it was like kind of you can get in the ball and kind of get out the way and um and then coming into this final year to where now he is like literally our guy like obviously when jock gets back they're going to be co coexisting with one another but like he's like the a man you gotta shoot like 25 a game or else to even have a chance now so um like it's the transformation um in his game like i've been in a lot of his workouts and and watched a ton of them where he's just very meticulous about his workouts like the repetitions the certain techniques that he does on his finishes around the hoop when he's shooting threes like he tells me like he focuses on like a certain thing before he shoots it and then that's the thing the whole workout he's not just

everywhere when he shoots and then he does crazy drills like i'm talking like 25 out of 30 from a spot and it's like bro 25 out of 30 like you gotta be locked in he's like yeah bro that's what we do so like he's he's even taught me a lot in terms of that um when shoot for sure. I got a question. What has Marcus Smart and D-Rose brought to the team since they've been there? Almost exactly what I thought.

Except Marcus, they've both been way more humble. Obviously, I didn't think they were going to be assholes, but humble as in really just down to earth. I mean, they got stuff to brag about. Marcus is DPOI, been to the finals, been to tons of Eastern Conference finals. Obviously, D-Rose MVP.

We all know that. Been to tons of Eastern Conference finals and all that stuff as well. So you think they're going to walk in with that like, bro, y'all can't tell me shit. But they came in awesome. They're really trying to help us. The young guys really trying to teach us the ins and outs that they see their positivity is crazy like they're always like trying to uplift us instead of like trying to chew us out and stuff like that so i mean it was different because i didn't know what to expect

when they got here but their energy has been very very positive and they've been very helpful in terms of um how to be a pro like d rose has this uh routine that he does each and every day where it's meticulous and and he don't need no trainer to tell him to do it or no coach to tell him to do it he's on it so he's teaching a lot of the young guys how to like find your routine and stick to it like you don't need somebody to tell you and hold your hand like that's how you be a pro and then marcus is on the hey man we come we come to work each and every day and then when you're on the court man you let it shine like you just let it go you won't make shots you're gonna miss shots but you just got to let it go you know so we saw a clip recently Marcus Smart uh you know brought the whole bench together

appeared to be trying to fire everybody up motivate everybody can you share a little bit about what he was saying it whatever you feel comfortable with we don't like to ever blow up somebody else's spot but just a little bit about what he was saying? Whatever you feel comfortable with. We don't like to ever blow up somebody else's spot, but just a little bit about what Marcus Smart said to the team in that moment. He's big on having a lot of pride. I was just talking to him about it today, about what his family meant to him and what his family, how much they appreciated basketball. So any opportunity that he got to be on the court, his whole mantra was given to his all. So when he saw who he was against we say utah we're playing against somebody where or minnesota maybe they were just bad hoops like we were just kind of going through the motions out there it was a

home game so we weren't really playing with a lot of uh oomph that we needed to have and he was like yo this is embarrassing like have some pride like your last name is on the back of this shirt. Like, you need to, every time you step out here, like, you need to give it your all. Like, this can be taken away from you. Don't think it's, like, set in stone just because you're playing right now. And kind of just opening guys' eyes to, like, not get comfortable. You know what I mean? Obviously, you want to play free, but you don't want to be so lackadaisical to the point where you don't care.

So that's where he was like putting his foot down. Like, that's not the route we're about to take. And, you know, I mean, it helped. It definitely helped for sure. You know, so when you, because I've, I've always said like, you know, when you go into the summer and you're trying to improve your skill, you have to really be mindful of who you are. Right. So when you mentioned Bane, Bane came in as just a straight spot up shooter, right? And now he's an all around player. I think sometimes like when, I guess they call them casuals, casuals don't understand that like somebody like Clay Thompson, when I said, he never improved to me, right?

You came in as a spot shooter and even though you have four championship you're still a spot shooter right versus someone who's like okay they might need me to do something else and I need to have that skill set so I've never really to be honest I never really paid attention to Bane but just listening to what you said is like, this is the example of what I've always been saying. He comes in as a spot shooter. The next year he said, all right, I need to do one, two pull up next year. Like, Oh, I'm gonna get to the basket. And then this year he's an all around player. So now when Jock comes back,

this guy who used to be a spot-up shooter is now a whole different engine Right and and and I tell players like you have to be really like Don't be content of what you are like I guess so so many people are This is what I am. This is what I'm gonna be and it's like no you can be you can be more you You just got to put in more and i don't think people are willing to put in more so you you you validated everything i said by when you really want more for yourself you just gotta really focus on it absolutely and even in my case like i remember uh last last year my third season like i was barely shooting any threes.

And I spent the whole summer dedicated like, hey man, they will not just sit at the rim. And if they do, I'm still going to shoot it regardless. And so I spent the whole summer, I'm talking about days in and days out. Many times, two a days. I'm coming in, I'm getting tons

and tons and tons of threes. Mainly in the corners and at the break, kind of at the wing, corners and wings, some at the top of the key, but mainly in those corners and wings. But, I mean, I'm letting them go the whole summer to get to a point in the game where I'm like, hey, bro, I work too hard.

Like, I ain't passing these, bro. Like, when I get the kick out, bro, I'm checking it. Like, you know, obviously everybody hopes that they go in. But, like, at this point in time, I'm like, I work way too hard to not do that. it was kind of a kind of a want to factor like this is something that they brought up to me like yo like this is something we think you could do and i'm like let's do it like as a as a genuine basketball player who loves the game and i see all these people who are all the wrong players who can hit spot up threes who can hit

the one dribble pull-ups the floaters the the mellow without a dribble at the elbow jab step shot like these are all parts of my game that i would love to have so i'm like okay cool if you just take it summer by summer add one piece to your game where you're confident in this like my first three years i was extremely confident my floater so it's like cool i got the floater down let's work on the three now until i get extremely confident to where like i don't even have to second guess it like it's like, cool, I got the Florida down. Let's work on the three now until I get extremely confident to where, like, I don't even have to second guess it. Like, it's up. And then, you know, you add another thing to the package. So that's kind of like where I've been.

And since I've been with Desmond, or I call him Des, since I've been with Des, like, that is what he's taught me, is never be content with the game if you really love it. Like, if you don't love it, you get it. Like, you know, you're just going to do whatever the team tells you and keep it like that. But if you love it, like, you need to improve on something each and every year so during his suspension josh has been allowed to practice travel with the team he's only five games away from coming back

home uh how's job looking right now what are your expectations for him when he gets back on the court expectation i think he's gonna bring so much energy that like the energy that we didn't really know we were missing and we couldn't put our finger on as far as like man what what is missing out there for us i think he's gonna bring so much energy like when he makes those electrifying plays whether that's in transition or whether that's him breaking a defender down for a step back three or whether that's him going on a ten-oh run by himself doing his little push cross to the float. I think when he comes back, it's his energy that he's gonna bring to the game that's just gonna leave a crazy impact. And I feel like a lot of people

aren't gonna be ready for it. The other teams, us, we're just all gonna be in awe of like, man, we missed this. I remember when he came back from his first suspension after the eight games, he played Houston at home. And his first play, he like caught a body left hand. We were like, oh, wow, okay. We were like, oh, we ain't seen somebody dunk on somebody in a long time. So like that, you know, I'm excited for that. Like I'm excited for those electrifying plays that he's getting ready to do for sure.

So you mentioned Houston. Speaking of the Rockets, a few weeks ago, your former teammate Dylan Brooks said the Grizzlies have no swagger. What do you think about Brooks' comments, and do you agree or disagree? Was he just doing some player hating? What's going on? Oh, man, that's my guy. But, nah, he doing some player hating.

He got to stay over there. It's already done. He got to stay on that side. Because you know what, though? They're not even that far ahead of us. I ain't even sweating them. I'm not even sweating them. I'm not sweating them one bit,

obviously. But that's my guy, Tintos, for sure. He's taught me so much, but no, I ain't reading too deep into that. Wait a minute. You just above us. I'm looking at it like, no, bro. You 10. You 10.

You not even. I'm thinking they 5 or something. They're only four games ahead of you right now in the West End. But in that same interview, Brooks said him leaving the Grizzlies for the Rockets, like the girlfriend that you used to have, you don't know how good she is until she's gone. You said that's your guy. How much are the Grizzlies missing Dylan Brooks this season? I think the one thing that he did a really, really good job of

was being a true leader for us. He was, when he was here with us, he was the guy who was always using his voice. How I talked about D Rose being meticulous with his routine. Dylan was in the training room always getting extra work. He was always watching film. And one thing that he did really well that Desmond started to do, Marcus is doing, I'm doing, is calling guys out on their mistakes as far as messing up the game plan and discipline. Dylan was always on it with game plan and discipline, guarding guys like Steph or De'Aaron Fox or Bron or Luca. Like, he always knows guys' tendencies.

He knows their plays. And if you messed up on it, he was on your ass. Like, hey, man, like, you're supposed to be here and get my help on this side and da-da-da. And that was something that he taught us and always kept us accountable on. So that's something that, like, each and every day, each and every game, we're working to do because he already had that respect um from us players so now we're trying to have that same thing with one another to be able to keep each other accountable for sure i got a question for you i got a question for you how you feel about this in-season tournament man make you want to play a little harder play a little bit more intensity

you know what i'm saying because you know you know y'all y'all not really competing for it right now, but maybe next year bring a little bit more energy for the in-season tournament. What you think about it? A couple things. So I was just over Jaren's house the other day, and we were watching the Celtics

and the Pacers play. And the way the Pacers arena was turned up like that, I was like, we were like, damn, we kind of want that. And this, what, November? At the time, it was early December. Early December, we're like, man, the crowd's not even supposed to be turned like that to the playoffs, and they turned right now.

So we were kind of like, okay, we want to get to that spot for sure next year. And then the courts. The courts are interesting. I liked it because it was just different. I'm like, okay, this is cool. It's not the same the courts are interesting. I liked it because it was just different like I'm like, okay This is cool. Like it's not the same old same old However, there were some courts out there. That was I mean it was crazy to play on

I was like you can't even tell where you at Okay, so when it comes to like you mentioned the crowd not the game itself When it comes to just intensity itself, it's the crowd that gives you the intensity. Because I don't know what player said, yo, we played in Memphis. Usually the crowd is like, boom. But it was dead here. Anthony Edwards. Anthony Edwards is like, I don't feel like playing.

Right? And I don't think the crowd understands that spark that they actually give to players. Like a home court is a real thing. Like there be some games where I'm tired, I done played for, I didn't sleep. And then I really don't want to play in this game. And then they call your name and you got 27,000, 17,000 people. Let's go and that really actually gives you the energy that you was missing so do you think it's the do you think it's the end season

game for the players or do you think the crowd has really been there because it's something new for them. Yeah, I think the crowd had to get used to it for sure. But as far as our crowd as well, not having Jolly really puts a lot of people in the seats. I mean, he puts a lot of butts in the seats. I think I've heard you guys and other people talk about him being box office, and you don't really realize it until he's not in the arena. You're like, man, I see a couple too many empty seats compared to him.

And he was here when he's playing. When he's playing, you can't find an empty seat. You're like, oh, this mug is jumping. It felt like a party every home game. And now, you know what I'm saying? We got the, you know, you can see the same dedicated season ticket holders. You're like, okay, cool. You know, y'all here regardless.

But then, you know, the casual ones who are just vacationing and coming to see a John Moran game, they're not showing up. So that definitely, in my opinion, makes a difference. I don't think, oh man, it's in-season tournament. People are taking it easy. Because it's 500K on the line for each player. Guys who are not making tens of millions of dollars,

it's like, yo, let me see that. Let me get that. So I think their intensities are all for sure like you know locked in yeah i mean players weren't really high on it initially when it's first announced but for those guys you know a team like the pacers that uh has the lowest payroll in the league now opportunity to go get 500 racks if they win the in-season tournament championship. How much of a motivating factor is that to players now? I mean, I want to get that bread. You and Jaren Jackson watching like, damn, we could have

did something nice with that 500K. I'm trying to say, I just think I heard Obi Toppin, they had the camera in the locker room. He was talking about something. Hey, y'all, congratulations, but lock in. He was like, but lock in. We got more to go. He was in the playoffs, i was like look at him man he tried to get that 500 too i ain't mad at him so it's basically player from like player 7

to 15 they take it yeah so okay yeah they coming to practice like on some real practice shit nah they're like come on bro lock in let's go man we got a game to win everybody like damn it's just tuesday it's tuesday you know what that means it's tuesday it's playing like come on, but lock in let's go man. We got a game to win but again. It's just Tuesday. It's Tuesday It's Tuesday's playing game. Come on. Let's go team them teeth the team base is making it more interesting They're not yeah, that makes sense. It's like a whole bunch of it. I'm used to playing like that Pushing my team a nice. Yes, though They bringing that back. Like, I hear what you're saying. Like, when you look at the end of the bench,

when you look at the end of the bench, they really involved. Yes. Like, let's go, my nigga. 500,000. Like, yeah, shoot around. 500,000. And shoot around, too.

Like, even in the shoot around shit, like, I'm guarding you, but I'm like, yo, pick it up, bro. Like, we not trolley. You know what I'm saying? We really active out here. Let's go. Okay, that makes sense. Because I'm like yo pick it up bro. Like we not trolley. You know saying we really active out here I'm telling you because when I was number 15 and there's 500,000 on tape because I only made 300,000 I get an extra 500

Everybody got to be here early I'm calling everybody. Hello, get up. Where you at? Hello, get up. Wake him up. I'm fucking carpooling. Man. I got the Escalade. All right. Carpool. I'm picking you up, my nigga. I'm picking you up, my nigga. Hey, I would have did my rookie duties.

Who need they bag picked up? I got you, big homie. Got the donuts, too, nigga. Donuts and bag. So, Xavier, you're in the final year of your rookie deal. What's your mentality like going into this season, you know, trying to make sure you get that next contract and it's a nice one playoffs just control just control what i control to be

honest with you i think that in the summertime i thought so much about it because i was seeing everybody else on their extensions and then after my playoff performance i'm like all right well i think mine should be in the it should be coming like the rest of these guys. And when it didn't, I was honest to God, I was in my feelings a little bit like, man, what's up? Like, like, did I not do enough? This, that, and the third. But just knowing the business of it and actually like the salaries having to make sense to not go into the second apron and stuff like that. I'm like, all right, all right, all right.

So now at this point in time, I don't really put too much pressure on it. Like, I've literally come to the point where I'm just like, it is what it is. Like I'm going to literally control what I control with like the extra cardio I do with my Peloton bike in with, you know, the extra treatment I do in the ice bath and the saunas to the extra shots that I put up at a home gym or, you know, after practice. Like just, you know just literally controlling what I control and let everything ride after that. Let me say this to you, though. Bro, one thing I would advise you to do is be happy, bro. With everything, the approach, the opportunity,

be grateful that right now you get to do this and make a living regardless of whether you get paid what you want or not, man, you in a whole different echelon of just people on this planet. You know what I'm saying? And so if you're not doing it to make yourself happy, you're not going to that, that work and smiling in there and getting them shots up knowing I'm about to get this check regardless because I'm me. You know what I'm saying? Like you, you, you put in the work don't nobody deserve what's coming to you like you know what's coming to you bro so i would just say look man just be happy with what you're

doing bro smile you know enjoy the family as much as you can man because once you're done it's done you know i'm saying you can't go back you can't go back and change nothing man so i wouldn't stress about how much you get and none of that because you done put the work in, bro. Just be ready when your time's called. I appreciate that. And y'all making the playoffs this year. I know y'all start about 3 or 3.

We need someone to help you negotiate that contract. I got that. I know white people. Hey, what's that story, Gil, that you had? You told a story about you and I think Buddy Hill. I think you talked about he was so hell-bent on this number. You're like, hey, brother, you're about to walk into lifetime money. Don't get twisted and caught up in the real nitty-gritty of the numbers.

You're about to make life-changing. What was that story? Listen, I've been around when dudes, like, there's this thing, man, where we pocket watch too much, right? We pocket watch, and if we don't think we're going to get something more than someone else, we're not happy with what we're getting, right? That's just human nature, right? So when I seen him throw it out there and i had to think wait hold on let me tell you what the real like like the fantasy is what we everyone sees here's the real so i had to take his metrics like you know this is your age no all-star here's the all-stars that's what they get paid so you're not them yet everyone who's gotten paid, that is you. And you're on the same path.

So don't sit here and, this is my thing. If you want 100 and they're at 90, are you going to throw away $100 million or $90 million for 10? Right. That would make no sense. Yeah, you know what I mean? And that's what people don't understand sometimes. Don't, like, you hell bent on a number.

Don't throw away all of it because you can't squeeze out two more percent. And that was the thing that I was trying to, you know, to get him to know. And I'm pretty sure he's happy as fuck

that he didn't turn it down because that very next year they put his ass on the bench. Right. Right. I've seen it. I've seen it. I've seen it with my guy. He's on the Mavericks now, but he was with the Kings.

Rashawn Holmes. He signed a four-year 48. And then the next year they got Sabonis and right to the bench. So he was the starting center in there. He was live dunking, shooting all the floaters and stuff like that. I'm like, okay. He was averaging about 12 and 10. Sabonis got there.

They're like, ah, come right here. And I'm like, oh man, but he's just 48 guaranteed. Y'all going to sit him over here? They're like, yeah, bro. I mean, what do you want? Like, that's Sabonis. And I'm like, oh, wow.

Okay. That's what I'm saying. You never know what's going to happen the following year. All you have is, you have it right in real time, right? And I know sometimes we try to squeeze what our value is, and I say, you got to look internal first

and say, what am I worth, right? Fuck what the agent says. What am I worth? What do I think I'm worth? So you know a number you're not going to go lower than, and you know a number that when you hear it, you'll be like, all right, I'm cool with this, right? So when we get that stalemate, you'll be like, hey, hold on, hold on. Hey, shut up. I'm good like all right i'm cool with this right so when we get the that stale mate you're

like hey hold on hold on hey shut up i'm good all right me and the wife and the kids we good we'll take that yeah we'll take that i i know what my man's saying but hey me the wife is good that's we good let's go ahead get this jersey signed signed, we good. See y'all at practice. You know what I mean? But sometimes, you know, the agent be telling us, you know, you worth 200, and inside, you know, you worth 150. And they'll give you 160. And your agent's forcing for 30 more million, and you're like, oh, I'm only worth 150. They gave me 10 more than that.

Let me go ahead and sign and get this shit over with. I got four. Hey, listen, I got whatever more years to make it up. That's real. Xavier, last question we got for you. We appreciate you taking the time to pull up to Gil's Arena. Obviously, we love to have you on the show and your perspective. So Grizzlies currently 13th in the West,

but only four games out of a spot in the play-in, and that team in the 10th spot right now, as you mentioned, is the Rockets. So I need you to look into your crystal ball. Will the Grizzlies make the playoffs this season? Yes. Yes. Yes, you're going to make it, for sure.

Now, I like Brandon to give his crystal ball, because right now he's one for one. So let me just hear what he's got to say. I got y'all finishing. I got y'all finishing. I got y'all. Well, they might have to get. I don't know if they're going to have to get in the playing game.

I think they might get a. I think when Ja come back, you know. But I got them making the playoffs and winning the first round. Ooh. Talk about it. Okay. Huh? They in the West.

Oh, they in the West. They in the West. They in the West. Look, he can't. I'm just making sure you was on your pick. No, I in the West. Oh, they in the West. They in the West. They in the West. Look, he can't. I'm just making sure you're not. I really fucked that one up. You know, I got them beating the Lakers first round. Get the fuck out of here.

Let's go. See, now you know the whole flow. We might be in the playing game with y'all. It might be seven and eight. And the wild shit about it is you guys are only five and a half games out of the six spot. So I'm just saying,

like, it's going to be a close match. No, see, now, get the full team back healthy and y'all play against Timberwolves in the first round because Timberwolves might be second.

Y'all might be, you see? I got Memphis getting out the first round. That's all I know for sure. All right. Just not against the Lakers, but we'll rock with that. Whoever. Whoever it is

in the West. Real quick, what y'all think about the Timberwolves and the Thunder and what they're doing right now? I feel like they're doing... They don't think about nothing? One and two? Too early. I like it. Hey, Tip, I like what the Minnesota Timberwolves

are doing. It's a little bit blasphemy for me to even say that right now. That's your team now? No. I'm just saying they look like they know what they're doing out there. They're getting momentum. They're playing well together. Rudy looked good.

Everybody looked nice. Okay, Timberwolves, only because Denver said their hardest matchups was the Timberwolves. They play hard. First round. So, I might give them, okay, they could be alright. Um, who was that other team? The other team. I'm not, no. I'm not rolling with them.

No, I'm not. Like, if I don't give a fuck who I am, you guys, I'm pretty sure if John Morant was back and y'all got Thunder first round, y'all would sit there like, oh, shit, who the second round team? I ain't going to be mad at it. That playoff experience is a mug.

That playoff experience is everything. Everything, right? It's everything. It's a different game. Because once you're used to it now, you're coming in there with a different mentality. Instead of looking at the crowd like, wow, this is nice. You're like, forget the crowd, bro. We locked in.

We locked in. Everybody on your P's and Q's now. Yeah. Well, Zay, we appreciate you taking the time to pull up to gills arena again? Absolutely, we got to get you back in your live next time you in town and we'll link up in Vegas again But best of luck for the rest of the season Hey, hey, hey, you can already see he ready. What 12 at? Not the police. Not the police. We appreciate it, bro.

Thank you so much for pulling up. All right, yo. I mean, 12 is kind of like the police. He going to be killing people when he get out there. Damn. On the basketball court. On the basketball court. Lord, mercy.

We're in basketball moves this time. We going to be happy for this one. In Memphis. But it's wild. They're in basketball moves this time. We're going to be happy for this win. In Memphis? But it's wild. They're 6 and 14 right now. But really, that West is still so compact. And we talked about this when it first happened, where they would need to be to actually be competitive.

And that 10 spot, not that far away, especially getting to do like job back. Hey, man, this outfit all right, right? No. I look like I was on Orange is the New Black. Bro, bro, I would wear this. They was on my best. Tell them it's linen.

Tell them it's linen. It's linen. It's linen. Come on, they said I just got out to sink seat. Man, I don't like my. But you got to think, people in the chat, they not fashionable. They don't know.

We don't know. Like, look at the niggas that call in. Like, do I really look like? Do I really look like do I really like horses? Them niggas they got They YouTube got like they watching it from 148 IP that he even watch you look like niggas caught you slipping once Is this cool You are wealthy grit do you could tell everybody there about Gil?

No, man, I don't worry. They be like you already know that broke shit. Don't work No, no, they be like, oh you just originally good. That's lame. Like, you know, they hit you with that You're like God Ask for the cash and we're the cash open their fridge. I said, yo, first of all, you got a wide three with this fly it is it is why three but I can't wait three gta online experience Shit But let's keep this thing moving so Lakers have been betting on black during the IST going three, you know while wearing their alternate black City Edition uniforms

Yes, sir But the NBA doing some player-headed Gil preventing the Lakers from wearing their black uniforms because edition uniforms. Yes, sir. But the NBA is doing some player-headed guilt, preventing the Lakers from wearing their black uniforms because of concerns over the visual contrast between them bright-ass, way too colorful-ass, glittery-ass courts and the Lakers jersey design. What? Oh, wow, so Bucks is going to win.

So when one unnamed Lakers player found out the league wouldn't let the Lakers wear their black jerseys, he responded, and I quote, that's ass. That's Ron James. That's good. I like that. You want to do it.

Hold on. Hold on. Out of all these motherfucking courts y'all picked, you getting mad that our jersey clashed with it? Change the court. We can't. You not change it like, hold on. I better bring the We can't. It's too... You're not changing it like a whole... Like I'm maybe going to lie. Y'all better bring them other fucking jerseys.

No, no, no. Y'all, we played. We played. So we already know if we feel comfortable in something. If you tell me we 6-0 in this... But we don't know what jerseys we wearing until we show up there. No, you know. Until you walk into the locker room.

You're like, oh shit, we wearing the black Jones today. No, no, no. You found out. Is that home court advantage on the locker room. Oh shit. We're in a black Jones today On the courts on the in season so what on the in season tournament is a home court advantage We mean so like whoever like in the championship game will it like like whose court is it gonna be or is it just gonna Be nice. It's just a Okay So this so they They did the court and says whatever court they have clashes against this uniform. Yeah.

So what's the color of the court? It's got to be black. Red, blues, all types of shit, bro. No, no, because I can tell you this. When I had the gold with the black, we knew any TNT game, that's what we're wearing. Because I'm averaging about 33 in this uniform. So I'm guaranteed 33 in this uniform. So you couldn't tell me, I don't give a fuck what league policy put in.

We're going to wear it. You're just going to have to find Mr. Poland. Just find whoever owns the team. Find Jenny Buss.

In my spare time, I'd just be looking at the islands. Why not? Look at the submarines. You like peace. How much they here for? Just for somebody who never had enough? There's somebody like 100,000, something like 86,000. Yeah, ready to be over in some place you don't want to go.

Want the submarine that turns into a yacht. But I'd be looking just... I want the luxury shit. If anything happens, I can go both ways. Where you at? I want to move with a yacht. I'd be looking just like islands and like hunted mansions for sale, some shit out there for a dollar.

I'll be on Joshua Street. You're on Joshua Street? Yeah. Beautiful. Yeah, that's where I'm ready to move. Once I get that next check. Cut the check, Timothy. You know I got a farm.

I was thinking about putting some Joshua Tree stuff out there. Yeah, Joshua Street where I go out and get. Yo got a whole ass farm in case you guys didn't. Old McDonald. So Damien Lillard is the current favorite to win the

IST MVP, followed by Brandon Ingram, Giannis, LeBron, Tyrese, Halliburton, and then AD. So we're going to do a little prediction time. Give me your predictions for the in-season tournament and who's winning that MVP. Broad. Okay. Accurate. I can't argue with that. Just a little prediction time. Give me your predictions for the in season tournament and who's winning that MVP brawn Okay, accurate. I can't argue with that. Yannis ordain. You got the Bucks winning it all. Yeah for sure You know that bucks in one. Come on, man. You know what time it is

Huh, he got you know, of course he got Tatum No, they're not even in it. He can't be in it, though. He got to pick an op. Come on over here. He got to pick an op. That is right. Fuck y'all niggas. Come on over here. Y'all should have set me up for that, too.

I'm like, wait a minute. They got to pick a nigger. Niggas over there snickering around. I can't pick a team. But if I had to, I'm going with wait a minute. We got a picture. Nick is over there snickering him out. I can't pick a team. But if I had to, I'm going with the Pacers. You are dedicated to your craft. You are dedicated to your craft. I'm going to go Holly.

I'm going to go Holly. Yeah, shout out to Holly, too, man. I was dissing him early, bro. He nice. We got to think of a real nickname for him. We got to think of a nickname that'll stick before. Tyrese Halliburton? Yeah. Not now. We got to think of a nickname that'll stick before... Tyrese Halliburton? Yeah.

Not now. We got to think of one good one that's, like, real. I mean, we already gave Austin Reeves Lemon Daddy. That was an easy one. No, no, he's AR-15. AR-15. I don't get in trouble with nobody.

AR-15, a.k.a. Lemon Daddy. You going to put that little shit away? AR-15? Yeah, whatever that shit is, he should be out there. Nah, he'll be shit is, he should be out there. Nah, he'll be out there. You see that pew pew?

That's that shit right there. Pew pew. They know what I'm talking about. Pew pew. That's that old video game. Pew pew pew pew pew pew. That ain't no AR-15 right there, nigga. That's some pew pew shit.

I saw Austin Reeves' The Lakers game recently. He said, y'all niggas gotta stop hating on him. He said it just like that. Who? Verbetta. Nah, I'm just kidding. Saw Austin Reeves. Couldn't ask him to come on Gills Arena.

I'm about to say, we love Living Daddy. Couldn't ask him to come on Gills Arena because of how y'all be acting. Nah, we love Living Daddy. He be the first white person on here. With Koli Miik. Actually, no, he's not. We had Jason O'Jula. That don't count.

Koli Miik light-skinned it. First white player. First white NBA player. White NBA player. So you said Dame is going to be MVP for this season? I just said he's the favorite right now. It's going to be Dame or Giannis. He's favorite or Giannis right now.

You know where that trophy going. Who's in the final? You said Pacers. Who are they playing? Lakers on the other side, right? Yeah, Lakers, Pelicans. I think we're underestimating the Pelicans against the Lakers right now it's a vengeance I think it's a good that'll be a good game I don't know if I'm being durable out

but yeah I would like to say Pacers Pelicans of course fuck the fuck the Bucks fuck the Lakers period my team ain't winning nobody's team. Okay, that makes it that makes it die Violent today, so we got one from our ledger producer Steve. He said holla bucket holla bucket Workshopping who said that Steve? Mmm, Steve are the names here. Hello. Hello. Yeah, got some names. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut.

Halibut. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut.

Halibut. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut. Halibut.

Halibut. Halibut. Halib little hibachi time. Here we go. Cuisine. Yes. So after dropping two straight games to the Pelicans and Celtics, Sixers took advantage of the slum buster that is the Washington Wizards. Joel Embiid was out here doing work, looking like the real MVP. Dropping a season-high 50 points, along with 13 rebounds and seven assists in the win. His first 50-piece of the season.

Took it. Ooh. Middie. A little post-action with the fadeaway. Ooh. Coming through with the yam. So first and foremost, if you drop 50 on the Wizards, does that even count at this point?

Because they've been known to give up some buckets. I mean, yeah. You got to talk to your crew. But MB joined some elite company with the performance. So again I know you hate stats, but in the past 40 years only two players have four career 15-10-5 games while shooting over 60% from the field. Joel Embiid, Will, and Michael Jordan. What is the stat again?

I knew it, I knew it. In the past 40 years only two players- The it I know it in the past 40 years only to play last 40 in the past 40 years Why is why is it only 40 years because that's what's that mute felt compelled to put up so it could just be two people Yeah, okay now, okay, so they don't want to say ever Yeah, I'm I say cuz Kareem got I mean not Kareem. Uh, well gotta be in there for sure Yeah, so it's ten five. What is the five fifty fifty ten rebounds five assists I believe five assists so 60% field goal percentage. So I'm just gonna go on a just a limb We're gonna pretend that will Chamberlain playing against white dudes didn't shoot over 60%

Averaging 50 10. Yeah, that's 40 years 84 Gil says 40 years. That's 84. That's what I'm saying. It's cute, but that's not reality. Bring in reality ever. Because we'll have like 576 or something. I mean, if they really want to. How about this? Why don't they. 576, 4-4.

Why don't they just say in the last 20 years so the fucker can be there by himself? By himself. Real shit. I mean, like, if that's what you want to do, why you want to put Michael Jordan if you can just put him by himself? Because that's the magic. Because he just got naturalized. The magic is always Michael Jordan.

They jump up forever though. They jump up forever. Forever would be hard. They should. It has to be ever. You can't just say 40 years where Michael Jordan's is when ever there might be two more people. So what's the point of just using Michael Jordan when you can just say the last 20 or

30 years and Michael Jordan's not even in it and it's just by himself? Because it don't matter. They're trying to erase history. No, it's just if Michael Jordan's in it, it matters. Of course, if Michael Jordan's in it, it makes it seem like it's this elite thing. It is. Because if I'm better than Mike at this, it's like I got one more better than Mike. Yeah, but people have done that.

It's not relevant enough But if they just said he's the first what if they said he's the first person in the last 35 years who's never done it Then you can't include mj on the graphic Okay Now you see what I just do They're not the only guys through the only guys through it four times four four times Yeah, and how many so will chambers never did it more than four times not in the last 40 years So will Chamberlain did it eight times you see that's crazy So he's basically by himself in his category

And Kareem did it four times, but he's not in the last 40 years. And Kareem, then I said to you. And we'll make him third. I told y'all two more people. Nah, but now they see the hate, Gil. They never want to give Kareem his love. No, but I'm saying is, you see, I said there has to be two more people. Because I be looking at shit like this anyway. So there is two more people.

They used 40 just to have it Michael Jordan, so it's not these four. And then there's one who's in his own category by himself And you know, we'll have more than eight. They were just hating back in those days. I mean, you know, it was a different Well now now now now he nearly you just mean Michael Jordan like They stopped dumbing down shit just to put people in it. I Mean was the Wizards? Where's the Wizards, right? Who the fuck was on their team? I'm just saying, when you see somebody drop a 50 piece on the Wizards now,

do you hold it in the same regard? But the Wizards had 121. They had 121 points. I'm just saying. I don't like that type of score. Like, y'all supposed to be beating the shit out of them, but they scored 121 points on y'all. Listen, 50, listen, I'm not

going to take anything away from 50, right? You know, like, if you're going to get 50, it's going to be on, you'd rather be on a team who's going to give it to you, right? So we're going to take credit for it, but let's just say Lopez did score like 40-something himself.

Brooke Lopez. You're hating on Brooke Lopez now? No, I'm just saying. Fresno Finals? I'm just saying, on Wizards, he scored 40, 45, so, you know.

Career high, wasn't it? Yeah, career high, so just having 50, it ain't even impressive if somebody at the Bucks who's like the fourth option had 40 something. All right, well,

let's talk about something else that's impressive. Yeah. Luka Magic was in talk about something else. That's impressive Luka magic was in full effect Wednesday night. I was impressive Luka dropped 40 points 10 boards 11 dives on the jazz in only three quarters here And to add insult to injury. Wait, wait, hold on. Wait, what what? What you said he had 40 what in 40 10 and 11 on the jazz and only three quarters. Oh, that's not impressive

Girl, hold on. We're gonna get there the Mavs beat the Jazz by 50. Okay, that's impressive So Luca had 29 10 and 10 in the first half. Yeah, and another statue probably not gonna like He's the first player to have a 25 point triple double and a half since play-by-play tracking started in 1996 97 You care? No? I mean, okay, it makes sense they started tracking, but obviously if we look through history... You gonna say Will Chamberlain? Will Chamberlain again. Most likely had a triple-double by the half time. If you average 50 and 39! Right. With 14 blocks! You know what I mean? So, but this is impressive like, you know when that when I seen like that He had he had a triple-double at the half and it was

30 10 and 10 So, you know like when you say like he only finished with 40 so he basically had 10 more points at one But you know, he didn't really play much in there cuz there's a 50 so I was watching that game So that's a boy. It was up by 40. I know he's that's a bad for angle I that's impressive one by 50p So he got so bad that jazz guard Chris Dunn Got a Lucas grill put a finger in his face as both players got hit with the double tech So we got to get another shout out to the legends. He gave us the LeBron email dope exchange

He works hard out here trying to figure out and relive. Nah, Chris Dunn gotta watch out. I'm giving him buckets. Man, that hurt. So, we said, can y'all shake hands? bucket. Man that hurt. So we said can y'all shake hands? Yeah, Prince Dunn still in the league? Damn. Brandon, what is that supposed to mean? He's a professional basketball player. That hurt. I'm not even gonna lie.

He should never be talking to Luka. Is it worse when like a foreign or European dude talks shit to you in your own native country? I mean if he bustin' your ass. Y'all know how cold Luka is? I understand that. You know how cold this motherfucker is? We not giving him his full, like you just giving him a petal of like...

He deserves a whole forest of fucking different flowers and shit. Like this dude that came into the league and did is shit. I ain't never seen no European do Well, first of all, who the hell let him point in Lucas? Lucas did you see how pop you see how calm he was? He's like, oh you gonna cook you point in my face, right? He's Slovenia. I don't know his country if that means the same thing died back back motherfucker Huh? I'm look Luca triple-double at a half dog niggas out here talking about somebody better than Luca who? Wasn't it done? Yeah, you got a little better than Luca right now. We talk about basketball

He didn't dumbed it down to the point where we watch that who better than Luca right now When you look at Luca play Four quarters of basketball. He's got a triple-double almost every game bro Now we seen Westbrook do it right, but we ain't see it being done at this type of ease where he... I got my offense and I know exactly who the fuck gonna give me this, who gonna give me that, who gonna give me this. You said at that kind of...

Ah, here it is. That type of what? Ease? Yeah. Luka doing it with ease, shooting step-back threes, like it ain't all to the bucket. That was easy for him? It's a variety of... First of all, he can't get to the bucket. That was easy for him. It's a variety of shit. First of all, he can't get to the bucket. Who? Luka.

Are you watching the games? Yeah, he's not fast enough. You're not watching the games. You're not watching the games. His step back is easy, just like Westbrook was easy getting to the basket, dunking on folks. But he's walking to the cup. No, that's fast motion for him.

So imagine it. Imagine how easy it is. If that's fast motion for him and it looks slow motion to us, it's like, damn. Yeah. You niggas is out here in my way. Wait, wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who created that?

Who stole it? Who created it? Who stole it? Who stole it? Luca. It's mine now. Stole it. It's mine now.

Because this is my league now. Okay, but you said he's making it easy when a guy who? Created it. It was ain't doing it no more. He was rocking ain't doing it no more. Let me show you how to do it Well, look ain't even doing it with it I'm gonna show you what I'm gonna show you how to do with a nigga beside me that y'all praise He did buzz Lucas s he ain't doing it sit y'all ass down over here come over here So look at about this Ferris wheel. Let me put you on this Ferris wheel, little boy. So look at the best player in the NBA right

now to you. There's two dudes that are the best players. Who? Go ahead. They should be on the same team. Who? Luka and Joker. 31-8-8. Luka and Joker should be the best duo the NBA has ever seen. 31-8-8.'s what that's what Lucas doing Lucas killing motherfuckers Yeah, 31 a day you ever seen the professional the movie Have seen it. Yeah, the Italian nigga. That's Luca Well, give me some milk baby bring this to my mouth with the girl. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's Luca Westbrook He was French. Hey, just just just the guy who created it it. I mean cuz it's you know, 38 made is easy 31 10 and 10 I

Did pretty sure that was like 30 31 to do it tomorrow Do it tomorrow. No Luca gotta do it first do it tomorrow first Luca gotta do it first to be even in that category I'm doing it. He still still needs two more of every day. I'm doing it now. 31-10-10. For the year. For the year. What year was that? That's the MVP. It don't matter. What year was that? What year was that?

Seven years ago? Next year, 25-10-10, then 23-10-11. Was that seven years ago? It don't matter. Okay. We're not going to dumb down. We're talking about yesterday. We're not gonna dumb down He's talking about 24 hours ago dumb down the stat to fit a person in it The stat right now is 31 10 and 10

31 8 8 boy you who's better game up Who's better than Luca right now? Like do name Kevin Durant Okay, you better than Luca right now like do name Kevin Durant Katie better than look at you put you want to be better than the boy you want to put 10 million on you you want to put 10 million on that one on one Katie been LeBron let's ask Katie better you want to put one on one on it right now right now one on one Katie better than LeBron 101 I'm a manBron 101 101 so what 101 Oh Katie be LeBron 101. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah 101. Yeah 101 Kyrie Kyrie could even the first of all not Kyrie couldn't Kyrie a whoop Luka 101 Luka could even be

Dean with a 101 and nothing wrong with Dean we but the way you said it, it sounded so wrong. I know, I know. My bad, Dinwiddie. Dinwiddie ain't nobody's top ten. Look, Luka looking at Dinwiddie like, I'm playing with you. Move around. Yeah, that's what he tried to all say. Move around, kid. He tried to all say he 0-30-something. Move around, kid.

0-30-something. One-on-one is a different beast. Nobody's fucking with Luka Dantic, bro. Period. Nobody's fucking with this kid. Period. Triple-double at the path Yeah, I got kawaii. What's the name? What's I can't remember his name was that Kyrie Eric doesn't think I rear He on my team That's the name. Would you put your money on them on a one-on-one game that his name?

101 game would you put your money on them on who Ky? Kyrie, there's Kyrie, there's Tatum, Booker, Kawhi Leonard, and Luca Man. Luca Man. He coming out on top? Out of all of them? I'm gonna put my money on Luca Man. Okay. There's some dogs in there. There's some dogs in there. But we play, what game do we play?

One-on-one. What game do we play? Well, I said one-on-one, we know what game we playing. Three dribbles? What are we here to talk about? We talking about one-on-one or five- But we play, what game do we play? One on one. What game do we play? Well I said one on one, we know what game we playing. Three dribbles? What are we here to talk about? We talking about one on one or five on five, what we doing? I know. You said he's better playing the game.

In the game, right now. So you mentioned Luka and Joker teaming up. Let's talk a little bit about some triple doubles. Luka has 60 career triple doubles, 349 games. Cute. Joker has 114 triple doubles and 617 games. Cute. Who finishes their career with more triple doubles?

Don't matter. Because they ain't going to be on top. It's going to be a black man. It's going to be a black man. Black History Month is coming up. The chance that you are reluctant to give white players their flowers. I mean, if we're going to be technical, I mean, there's no good white people.

I mean, if we're going to use European, if we're going to replace them with European, then we're like, yeah, I can give the European their flowers. And that's what we're doing. You're closer to the caucus mountain, Gil. They are closer to the caucus mountain. The heroes. The heart of Caucasian.

Are kicking ass and taking names right now. You hear me? Because if it ain't one, it's two. First of all. And if it ain't two, it's three. We got three of these motherfuckers from over there, over here. Raising hell. When it's all said and done, I don't give a fuck how many triple doubles they have.

There's going to be a black man on top of that. His name is Westbrook and He ain't even real king the real king. They ain't even invent. They didn't vent trouble double for the rookie. Oh Back to will is really the king of quadruple doubles and triple doubles, but since they didn't create it yet We're gonna have Westbrooks and those two ain't coming close to Westbrook Well, look I get it you want to keep it right by his work Y'all want to go to the past to prove your points, but that shit ain't coming close to Westbrook.

Mm-hmm. 28.5 points. Higher or lower? He's averaging 26.9 this season. He had 26 words of Celtics in the last game. Lower. Lower. That's not even hating.

That's not even hating. Because he'll have about 37 assists. Yeah, Malik Beas game. Lower. Lower. That's not even hating. That's not even hating. Because we had about 37 assists. Malik Beasley. Lower. Going lower. Oh, damn. He looked different on the Bucs than the Lakers. He over there.

Every time he shoot a three, he over there. Hey! So Tyrese... He was over there shooting the three like... Tyrese Halliburton, 12 assists, higher or lower. He's leading the lead with 11.9 assists per game this season He had 13 assists versus Celtics last game lower higher Assists Lord, you don't think I'll show up tonight

Nerds Vegas. No anybody showing up. They got to show up for him to get that assist. He averaged 12. That's a part of the offense. Oh, yeah, it was 11.9. It's a part of the offense. 11.9. I'm just making sure. Yo, what's the arena? Yo, what's the arena?

T-Mobile. T-Mobile arena? Lower, lower. Remember when the New York hotel used to be cracking? New York, New York? That used to be. AAU Times? Ooh, that or that Hilton.

That Hilton at the end. Luxor, man. A Luxor used to be. A Luxor, but or that Hilton. That Hilton at the end. Luxor, man. A Luxor used to be. A Luxor, but I heard that somebody died or some shit there and everybody wanted to stay there. Digging like fell off and shit or whatever. SCA, SCA, AAU days, we used to stay at the Paris Hotel.

That's how rich we were. That's how rich we were and nice. But it's not a second when you go back and you look at them joints, it's like, damn. Yeah. But anyway, Tyrese Halliburton, 2.5 turnovers, higher or lower. He's averaging 2.4 per game this season. Zero in the last game versus Celtics.

The second zero turnover triple-double season with Joker. Going lower on that. Lower in 2.5 turnovers? Yep. I go lower. Okay. I go lower. Brandon. I go lower. Brandon, how about yourself?

Yeah. Turnovers, I'm going to go higher. Defense, Bucks, defense. Bucks, okay. Now let's move on to Miliwake. The good land, Giannis. 52.5 points, rebounds, and assists combined. Higher or lower.

He's averaging 30.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and assists combined higher or lower. He's averaging thirty point two points Ten point seven rebounds per game five point two assists so that equals forty six point one But he's had 35 10 and eight in his last game against the Knicks. So that was 53 Wait, so what is that 50 what fifty two point five points rebounds and assists? This is a champion. This is like a yeah, for him. He go higher. He gonna play a lot He gonna play a lot. He gonna try to play. Sharing shoes with the Nassus back in his heyday that 500 really means something to him Yeah, sleeping in the same bed and shit Wetting the bed. Right now. I need it because the game finna start at 2 o'clock, right?

Yeah, we gonna get off soon so the sooner we get this done. I'm going by what we doing right now. Okay, for sure Okay right now. What we doing? 25. You said for sure. I'm picking right now. What are we doing? 25, you said what? 50 what? 52.5 points rebounds in the season. Five. Points rebounds. Give me lower.

That's the, I don't mind ever rooting against Greco Nigerians, Gil. Me neither. I know neither. I took low, I took. You took higher. Higher, yeah, higher. All right, so we got 2.5 blocks and steals, higher or lower. He's averaging 1.3 blocks, 1.5 steals per game. That would be 2.8.

But in his last game, he had three steals versus the Knicks. No blocks, but that still gives you what you need. They move so fast on offense. He's beating shit in Vegas. He can do it. Give me over. Wait, that means he got a four? Three.

Higher. Higher. We don't know the word over except when the show is higher Give me lower. I'm taking lower take a lower so lower and I super five blocks Brandon. How about yourself for you on it? Yeah blocks Lower okay. Oh it was blocks and steel lots of Steel's combined. That's different. That's different. What is it 2.5? That's different. What is it? 2.5? That's 2.5? See, nice motherfucker. So 2.5. You knew that nigga.

They always come making shit up. I like it. I'm going higher. He can get two blocks, one steal, two steals, one block. Lower? I'm going higher. I know, but that's what I'm saying. Y'all be coming up with all these terminologies and shit.

He'll get you two and two. I mean, only because they pass so much around the ball trying to score. It's a small team. It'd be a lot of turnovers. It's a small team, too. Yeah, they're going to be passing a lot. I'm going to keep it real. Underdog Fantasy presents this show. When we first started, I never told Tim this.

I was like, nigga, I ain't fucking no Underdog Fantasy. I don't care. I'm just going to steal a bag and keep my life moving. Downloaded the app, started playing, but there's more to the story. Same shit. Now I watch the games more intently than I ever have. 100%. Sweating,

fully emotionally invested, not rolling with substitution patterns sometimes. They be doing Westbrook, dirty, Ty Lue, I see you. Fucking up our bags, man. But you know that feeling when somebody gets that,

if you go higher or lower and they get that higher and it turns green because they be like five seconds ahead of the game so I, you know, farting at the free throw line and they just go over.

Or they fuck you over and don't tell you until the next morning whether you won or not. Yeah. Waiting on this yellow to turn green, bro. Holy gripe. When I win, give me my money expeditiously under the offense. I do not feel like waiting. That 48-hour turnaround. When I lose, you take that 10.

Give me my money. All right. Anyway. So, back to Giannis. 3.5 personal fouls, higher or lower. He's been averaging three fouls per game this season He had three fouls last game versus the Knicks Low

Low on the file to see them. How many fouls was it? 3.5 who was it? Oh, yeah, nice. Oh three. Yeah, hi. Oh hi higher. So you think you're gonna get four? Yeah Adam silver not with no bullshit. No, damn Indiana don't play no defense for him get to the house. Oh, yeah, too He'll get his to chart. He'll get them to charge. He's usually because Indiana don't play no defense That's where he gets most of his fouls just running over people. So Scott Foster officiating you got to come out on like a big elephant like Prince Ali. It's Vegas.

So we got Damian Lillard, 27.5 points higher or lower. He's averaging 25.6 this season. Had 28 points last game versus the Knicks. Lower. It's a guard play. 27.5? Okay. He got a lot of athletic guards on that team.

You say higher, Gil. I'm going higher.5? Okay. They got a lot of athletic guards on that team. You say higher, Gil. I'm going higher. Higher? Okay. Blacks visit. It's championship time. Yeah. And it's a team that don't play no defense.

Dame is about to witness the gold early. They're going to get that gold later. 7.5 assists, higher or lower. He's averaging 6.9 per game. He had seven in the last game. Low. What was it again? Say it again. 7.5 assists.9 per game. He had seven in the last game. Low. What was it again? Say it again.

7.5 assists. 7.5 assists. He like higher. Like most of the men in Atlanta. I think higher. Higher. Low. Going low.

He got a pass. He going to end up in the pass. That's always underdog. Rick Carlisle is going to make that boy make plays, bro. He going to take the ball out of that man's hand. He got to do something different. Who? Rick Carlisle is known for that

They are last place in defense. You're gonna do it tonight. I do it tonight. So last one 0.5 double-doubles basically means we have a double-double. We not have a double-double higher or lower He's got four double-doubles in 19 games a season dang But let me give you the note you get one point five X bonus if you pick this correct. Don't do it No way nah not tonight mm-hmm I think it's straight. I think over 27 and like eight. It's too much for me. Yeah, I don't know. It's too rich for my blood, as Caucasian gamblers would say. So now let's move on to the Pelicans-Lakers game.

I'm doing no insurance on all my Bucs picks tonight, too. Insurance, all five, straight up. You got to raw dog the picks. Straight up. Always raw dog the picks. Y'all trying to do insurance. You don't believe in yourself. Call it NAMM.

So we got Pelicans, Lakers. Zion, 22.5 points, higher or lower. He's averaging 22.7 this season. He had 10 points in the last game for Mr. King's O.G. Yeah! Shoot, Toto! He's thinking about that 500 now. His jumping ability is going high.

Think about that 500 now. Rashad, is going high. Think about that 500 now. Rashad, who you got? What was it? 22.5. Who was that for? Zion Williamson. Higher, higher. Higher?

I'm going to take one for the team. Valachunas is still out there, ain't he? Who? Valachunas still out there, ain't he? Who? Balachunas. So now we got C.J. McCollum. 17.5 points higher or lower. He's averaging 21 this season, but he has 17 points last game versus the Kings. 17.5 points higher or lower?

Higher. They need him. They need him to come out and be the X Factor tonight. Against the Lakers, I think that bench ain't got enough. I think lower. Really, 17? Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt.

17 is so close. We gonna be on him? Mm-mm. So he's third option? It's a 17.5. I know. See, it's that.5. 18 for McCullough, for sure.

Lock it in. He's averaging 21. Coming back fromullough for sure lock it in he's averaging 21 Coming back from my kid in no working his way back it in 21 big time like collapse alone Doing the big breath Vegas air a little musty let's just be on With the stench of loser. 18, bro, in his sleep.

Brandon, would you say CJ McCollum higher? Good did you give us your pick okay? 2.5 three-pointers made higher or lower he's averaging 2.9 this season who CJ McCollum he made three threes last game versus He be shooting them three. Yeah, he gonna shoot them things. I'm rolling. You have him in four quarters? Yeah, yeah, I'm rolling. Are we all in agreement? Did we just become best friends? LeBron, 28 points, higher or lower. He's averaging 24.7 this season, but he had a 31 piece against the Suns, and you know LeBron loves money.

He's going to do whatever he takes. It's Vegas. It's Vegas. It's Vegas. Oh. I'm going everything high with LeBron in Vegas. He can't leave nothing on the floor. That's what I'm going everything high with me with Ron in Vegas Do you mean nothing on the floor?

I think everything high that's the one that's the point of this whole tournament is that I'm going lower He can't take a night off and be like, oh next game saving it for the championship Yeah, we're gonna be I think we're gonna be about like 25 30 man I think you'll get like I think you'll get 27 I'm saying you're gonna let ad give the ad the keys this game is his former team I'm gonna be nah and then in a finals preview against the book It's 20 say you don't need it. I think you're fucking round drive right back to LA Where you going? You supposed to be driving to the arena, nigga. All right, so 7.5 assists.

Would y'all give me your higher or lowers? With LeBron 28? I'm going lower. I'm going to go higher. Brandon, would you go? Lower. On assists? Yeah.

No, 28 points. Oh. For LeBron. Must win. I think triple-double tonight, so lower. Okay, fair. 7.5 assists, higher or lower. He's averaging 6.6, but he had 11 assists last game versus Suns.

Lower? Higher. Higher? Higher. Okay. And if I don't give my picks, I just win and keep it to myself. No, we know that. I know.

I've been on the heater. Now I was like 0 for 36, and I finally got two back. Good. Bag is sustained. All right, last for 36, and I finally got two back. Good. Bag is sustained. All right, last for LeBron, 0.5 blocks higher or lower. He's averaging 0.7 blocks this season. Zero blocks last game. Oh, no, I'm going 0.5 up.

He going to get one. He going to get one. He has zero last game? It feels like he's due for a block by James in this type of moment, but I still don't know if it's this game or the championship game. I'm gonna go cuz you guys you got guys I got that go for that layup On 18. Yeah, damn. Hold the brown look get dunked on by Zion today. I don't want to put it Oh, yeah, don't go down there Jones.

But he did have 27 to 15 last game versus Suns. That's 42 his higher lower is 40. No. Yes. Wait. Oh, I'm thinking about the old ad that's The focus I don't want him to bring back the old ad You'll know within like the first six minutes of the game So what I need from them you need forty point five points of rebounds so that basically be like twenty seven and fourteen would get You there twenty six and fifteen Chatting twenty thirty and eleven would get you there Come on. Shit. You know what?

Higher. I'm rolling. I'm rolling, bro. These are the combos you have to do in your head. Like, oh, can you give me 30 and 11? 42 points with plus rebounds. I mean, he can get that. So he's averaging about 40.

He said he's averaging 42 at last. He's averaging about 35.6 for the season, but he had 42 in the last game versus the the last three games. He was having in 42 total So so we got the Pelicans place forty point five points of rebound. Give me a whoa It's the Pelican you feel like he's gonna be motivated. Oh, yeah. Oh take that take the high Oh, yeah, he might have come out giving them the old ad so I might know old old ad Hi, I might have to adjust my LeB old ad so I might know the old old ad Hi, I might have to adjust my LeBron for this one because this is what he actually take the time told you You'll take the kids. That's why I was thinking I'm going over a bottle. See me in the champion

I'm not rolling with him see I'm not fucking rolling. Brandon. Would you say higher lower? I'm higher. Okay, I'm sure Oh ad All right, that's like that's like us playing right now against Against Minnesota We already know who will shoot all the shots We already know who shoot all the shots Basketball Position basketball player already know who will take all the shot.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, what? What was the bet? 27.0 points, higher or lower. He's averaging 23 per game this season, Gil, but he had 27. Also, it's 27 points. Then I already took, I already, I got him for 27 and... On your first pick, you got 40, 40 points. But that was 27 and what? what 13 13. It'd be 14 if you wanted to get it Yeah, so 27 and 14 so I already got him at 27 points. So I got to take the high again I got a double dog. I got a double down. It's his old team I'm rolling as a wise man once said one is so close to none so one pick up cool

But you want to do about two or three? It's like bingo more cards. You have the shit. I end up working on He does not show up tonight You crazy. I don't know. It's already, you know, in the first six minutes. Nah, we had this conversation. He do a couple, then he off, on and off. Nah, that was last AD.

But 500K on the line. No, that's the problem. No, Pelicans on the line. He giving Pelicans the buckets. He's due. All right, well, that was our higher or lower pick-ems. Good luck tonight with your pick-ems. We'll be watching NC's in tournament.

This shit starts in about 15 minutes, so we're gonna get this show on the road. But let's get into mostly, fans. I need 5%. Oh, yeah. 94.7 to win. Underdog better have my money. Not half, not some, but all my cash.

All right, first question... False. It's from Underdog User by the name of Spiffy. He said, has Tyrese Halliburton passed Trae Young as one of the best PGs in the league? Yep. Yes. Tyrese ain't sent me no shoes yet.

No. Wait. Trae Young is a two-time All-Star? Yeah. Two-time, got cheated out of his third one, yeah. Two-time All-Star? No. And the other, he's not, is he All-Star yet? Second, yeah. One time last year. One time? Yup.

They're different. I mean. They're different. Different guards. Different style. One is more old school. One is a scorer. One's bigger than the other. Yeah. I mean, yeah, and he's bigger than... I mean, he's better.

No, no, true. I think he's... I don't know. You give Trey that size, though. You know, but what I'm saying is... He's a different player. Because he's playing good right now doesn't mean he's better than someone

who's been doing the same thing for years. Yeah. But, I mean, I think at this point we could probably say he's playing good right now doesn't mean he's better than someone who's been doing the same thing for years Yeah, but I mean I think at this point we could probably say he's got a little bit above Trey right now Why no disrespect to trade just this season this season. This is not not Cumulatively don't think this can become a crash. That is fair It's true. I don't have a Sort of ain't the best. I mean for the career. I don't have him above Trae Young though, right at this moment in time right now Yes, we're just saying tell this particular moment in this season. Huh? Talk talent talent was on town man Nigga Trae Young is that's a nice Trae Young is different. Nigga Halliburton is different bro. No push

Could they be different? No, they both similar because they played they play on or tonight They play on orthodox let trade team score 127 28 points a game If he had an office that was 128 points again, how much you think he ever the same? The same what that he averaging right now. No Nothing changed with him. She he liked the pass. He take the open shots. He's trying to force this shit He only he has limitations to his game him and baby boy given Their faster. You got to play a pick and roll for him to be efficient Tyler Tyrese you don't gotta do that. You know how to move without the ball and he big enough to score without the ball

Hmm try young you don't have a tough time Trey still 27 to 10 this year. He's still averaging those crazy numbers. Yeah crazy numbers. So I'm going I'm going Trey's still 27 to 10 this year. He's still averaging more points. Crazy numbers. Yeah. Crazy numbers. So I'm going, I'm going Trey. I'm going Trey Ray. 26 and 13. My skin to battle to the death. I'm going Trey. So let's move on to our next question. This is a video question. It's from underdog user by the name of KidFreshie13. Yo, Gil Zerino. What up, what up, what up? I got two questions. First question is,

what young player do y'all think will be the face of the NBA once Bron, KD, like all the little older players leave? And then second question is, if y'all got the opportunity right now to be a head coach of any team, what team would y'all want to be head coach of?

So who will be the next face of the league after LeBron, KD, and them? And if you could coach any team in the league, what team would it be? He's trying to get that 200. Give Kid Freshie 13 his $200, Underdog Fantasy. Present. Drop. I'll go drop my drama. I'm going Luka Dante I'm gonna go win be there in bed. I'm gonna go win be and I would coach the Milwaukee Bucks Get your ass on the line

Fuck it the worst thing is worse get Get your asses on the line. Unfortunately, as much as I want to coach the Lakers, I would want to coach the Clippers. Why, Gil? So I can give them

the offense that they can all be efficient in. Tyler's not doing that? Fuck that motherfucker averaged four points a game. No, he don't think

like me. Come on, man He can only think how he played the game and how he see he don't think high octane Offense and putting himself in positions and shit. That's a different brain Like Jason kid, like if you want to move like Jason kid you get coached by Jason kid Right a bench player only thinks like a bench player. That's why he was a bench player Right. He's a great coach for a team. Those are four individuals They need an individual thing and in my assistant coaches will be bench players. I Give you the offense now bench players make it work

They steal the fucking Clippers. I know it's still the Clippers. I should have full MVP Successful as big Robert Horry right here to nobody sit your ass right here Was your answer to those? I don't know why I gotta keep doors You can't help is this license you can't help well, he didn't even see the clip go give him a break I got it.

It don't matter. Pat Riley is. I know. That's why he went there. He ain't the one coaching over there it don't matter how rally is that's why he went there he ain't got to do winning the weather and the work this is a different world out there when i'm coaching that y'all niggas are doing we win it and we got good weather and we got good work so they ain't gonna win down because he got the coach gonna be focused on the work there we go i know you're bearing i have always seen eye to eye, and we're repairing that relationship day by day,

but he said you got to put that on the T-shirt. Yeah. Women, weather, and work. Women, weather, and work. Yeah, yeah. It's coming. The three W's. You know how we do, man.

Oh, yeah. No, that makes sense. So Bucs can lose, because they ain't... What? What? What? The Bucs aren't losing. We're about to win in season two.

Okay, first, think about practice. What time is practice? What time is practice? What time do Giannis' product go to sleep? The best players on the Bucs don't sleep. I know. No, no, no. I can show you the text between me and Giannis.
