Episode Date: January 29, 2025

Gil's Arena Breaks Down Bronny James' ROUGH 1st Quarter as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to JJ Redick's decision to give the Los Angeles Lakers some juice by giving Bronny extended minutes to start their game against the Philadelphia 76ers and discuss how the heir to LeBron James' throne failed to deliver during the best opportunity of his young career. They also break down how the injury Anthony Davis suffered last night changes things for the Lakers roster heading into the NBA Trade Deadline and debate if Tyrese Maxey is deserving of a spot in the NBA All Star Game after carrying the 76ers through an up and down season riddled with key injuries to Joel Embiid & Paul George. They then react to yesterday's news of DeAaron Fox asking for a trade from the Sacramento Kings to the San Antonio Spurs and debate if teaming up with Victor Wembanyama & the Spurs' young core is the right move for the speedy point guard. Finally, the Gil's Arena Crew reacts to another season of no name hoopers in the NBA Dunk Contest and discuss Caitlin Clark's decision to turn down the NBA's offer of participating in the 3-point contest.

Everybody can't make it. Destination weddings, always a good move. Oh, crazy shit. Million-dollar weddings and shit. I was thinking about the people that came to my wedding, me and my wife was talking. The people that came from my side, except my family. Like, I don't even talk to most of them motherfuckers no more.

Less than 10 years. Mm. By choice? Uh, they choice. You know what I don't get? I'm saying? What? So tradition is the woman's father... That's a tradition....is supposed to pay for the wedding. Mm. That shit don't work when you're rich, right?

Not at all. Not at all. That is a tradition. Yeah. You want to be traditional? How your broken ass daddy do it? Yeah. If it's hot wings and fries, God damn it, that's what it's going to be. Hot wings and fries, motherfucker. High five. You think I care? This wasn't my growth dream. Oh, I'm going to get buried and do all that. But I really don't know how much that happens in the black community. What, the traditional shit?

It doesn't. That the father pays for the wedding. Because the motherfuckers ain't never around. Damn. To pay for it? That is a myth. Woo. You know what it ain't?

Ain't no fucking myth. It's factual. It is, unfortunately. Because it worked like a dog. You know what I mean? It wasn't for fucking myth. It's factual. It is. Unfortunately. Fart like a dog. You know what I mean? It wasn't for our culture. It wasn't for our culture.

It wasn't our shit. If I took you to the apartments I grew up in, you'd stand in the middle of that motherfucker. You'd be like, God damn, you know how many black dads I saw growing up as a child? Not a lot. Not many.

Not many, I'm sure. We come from a tribal culture. Bruh. Oh, we've got many tribes. I'm about to go visit y'all tomorrow. Where I grew up, it's grandmothers raising kids that ain't theirs. It's aunties raising kids that ain't theirs.

That's what it was. And mostly mothers that's raising their multiple kids in the house. Ain't no dad. They got stepdaddies around. They got boyfriends, uncles that's help raising kids. Go to your cousin's house. Oh ain't no daddy got stepdaddies around Go to a brother no, then you go to whoever what man your woman view Yeah, everybody Everybody fucked up in the whole family circle.

That's why we still here. We still in the hood. Everybody fucked up. You was poor your whole life. Get with me now. I got to spend two million on a wedding. You spending that much money on a wedding? No, I'm just saying, you be seeing these weddings, I'm like, well, hold on.

Hold on, you just found these friends. You don't know them. But you marrying her was your choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but... Even knowing the situation. No, the situation is she was poor, right? Not my situation, but I'm talking about the girl you're marrying is poor. Now, all of a sudden, now she want the biggest diamond in the world.

No, no, not my... That's true, because women dream of those things. That was the Eddie Murphy shit, wasn't it? The Eddie Murphy shit? Yeah, that's what we want. The African. Yeah. Eddie, Eddie, behave, Eddie.

I know my worth, Eddie. I know now, Eddie. I've been in America a long time now, Eddie. OK. OK now. It is. It doesn't match your household. No, they dream.

So? No. Why you think they selling it? She was selling it. She didn't happy ever after. I ain't watch Pretty Woman. They don't even look at Pretty Woman and see that that's what was going on.

I know. That's all the movie made up. They look at the movie like, she's so pretty. It's like, yeah, we said the same thing. Who got married to a pretty woman? She's shooting high. She aiming high. No, no, she got taken care of. She aimed high.

She got upgraded. A sponsor. She's aiming high. She got a sponsorship. She should. But just for being pretty. But traditionally, women, there's not too many. But don't act like the women don't take care of y'all.

They do. In the wedding? But the dream. Hey, talk about the wedding. When you get married, you make the choice who you're going to marry, regardless of what her situation is. And then once you're married, and if she ain't taking care of you, then maybe you married the wrong woman.

Or just taking care of me. I'm just talking about the appetite. All of those things. So do you know what a wedding would look like if you let a man plan it? Hoo! Backyard boogie. It wouldn't be one.

I know. It wouldn't be one. No, if we did one, it'd be a backyard party or something like that. No! You let us do it, it'd be a party. Breakfast. Remember, we thinking about our wallet, right? It's our wallet that is, like...

Put it like this. Every man wants to get... Like, they did a study. Every man actually wants to get married. The ones who don't, they don't... It's financial. It's the financial part that they can't be married. They can't take care of... I don't know if every man wants to get married.

Shit. No, they did a study on it. Got a little married. Shit. No, they did a study on it. Got a little bit of change. No, they did a study. Do you want to get married? Do some space for a little bit of change. No, they did... No, what I'm saying, they did a study.

You really haven't met the right one. You haven't met the right one. When you meet the right one, you're gonna be like, he's the one. When you're not Jesus, they say you ain't got Jesus in your life.

You got Cade Cunningham higher, 14.5 rebounds plus assist beef stew higher 5.5 rebounds malik beasley higher 12.5 points and dearon fox higher 19.5 points uh current sacramento kings guard dearon fox we do not know for how much longer you said what current sacramento kings guard, Darren Fox. For the time being, Black History Month

quickly approaching, though. And we will see if he makes it through. You can win 5.7 times your bread with this partner pack couch. Y'all rolling

with Kenyon's partner pack for tonight. Kade? Yeah. Oh, Isaiah? Kade's gone over 15 plus four of his last five games. You got K doing eight or seven rebounds and assists,

but then you got Isaiah. Actually, he rebounding and then Durden rebounding. Ain't no rebound. He ain't going to get them rebounds. K is averaging 15, though. And look, and it's Indiana. So he going to score. This is going to be a score game.

So K averaging 15 plus the rebounds and assists in four of his last five games. It's a score. This gonna be a score game. So Cade averaging 15-plus of rebounds and assists in four of his last five games. It's a score game. It's a score game for him. I did my research. Did his research. So we asked the chat, are they riding or fading with Kenya's picks for this evening? 66% said that they are riding with your picks, Kenya. Look up Cade.

The chat has been really supportive lately. Yeah, I mean, hopefully this will hit. I like Malik. Malik. So if you... I don't know. Yeah, hopefully this will hit I like Malik Malik So if you know, I don't know. I don't know Malik Yeah, if you like these things want to ride with them head to the underdog abuse promo code Bonus cash look at it. That's a special team Peckham. We have also started three They play in fatless that where I pick that blister where they painted in there that muffled gang will be like this them young boys In Detroit, there's gonna be a lot of possessions in that fucking game.

So we've also started tracking picks with the partner packs. Let's take a look at the updated status. Andy Aaron gonna go under. 42, 52. Yeah, they playing Philly. Philly don't play. Wait, wait, wait. What was it yesterday? It was not that. What was it yesterday?

Him and Max are gonna be out there, motherfucker, running right by each other. Yeah, we done. And they coming off it back to back. I want to know who's deep in the track. They did update it. I think you said you wanted it updated. No, that ain't it.

20? Because I have... No. Not against that team. They got no shot blockers. That's good. You've won 52 picks. You've won 5.3 times your bet.

Can you... Oh, okay. 80% of your picks correct. Although six for eight, just math, not math-y, but we will say... Okay, Brett. Oh, okay. 80% of your picks correct. Although six for eight, just math not math-y, but we will say eight for eight. Okay, wait. Brandon. Hold on. Now I know.

This is what I'm talking about. Brandon was six for six yesterday, right? Mm-hmm. He went 0 for three. He just lost. He went 0 for three. No. Because the Anthony Davis pick didn't-

How many picks did he have? He had six picks yesterday, right? Four picks. Oh, he had four? Okay. And then Jalen, because Jalen didn't play, did he? No, J pick didn't... How many picks did he have? He had six picks yesterday, right? No. Four picks. Oh, he had four? Okay. And then Jalen didn't play, did he? No, Jalen played. Jalen played. AD left with a stomach. So he went 0-3 then? He was 0-3.

Woo! 76% 7.7 times the bread. Swaggy has still been boycotting the pickings. We will try to get his mind right. So Gil was 31-39 for your pick'ems yesterday. Since been updated to... Thirty-what? 31 for 39.

So you was eight. 31 for 39. So 11 for 39. So they updated your current to what you was asking for. You wanted your current. Now you... All right. So... Who's in the lead?

Me? By a long shot. Mathematically, it's not even close. Because you have more picks. But that's what I'm saying. Mathematically, it's not even close. But if we're looking at the board... Mathematically, it's not even close.

Mathematically. I'm just going on percentages. You feel me? Huh? I know I ain't got my glasses on. No, I'm not tripping. I'm trying to look at it. I'm like, is something moving'm trying to look at it.

I'm like, is something moving? Something's moving with the numbers. Did the numbers move? 86% of the correct picks are coming from shot, current leader, and correct pick. He said mathematically, too. If I stop right now with that, the chances of you going, keeping 80% or higher in the next 40-something picks, yeah, that's less than likely.

You know what? We can prove it. I can just stop. We will find out. And you can just go, and I guarantee you, when you get to 52, you won't have 42. If you want to put something on it. This is like jumpers, baby. This is like jumpers right now.

First of all, we don't even know where all these pics came from. This is a number that just popped up on the screen. I posted. And you had more than everybody else. So that's how we're not going to even track it. I think you're just like 8 for 10 right now. You're two more. He's like 8 for 10.

He's 8 for 10, 80%. All this other shit. Look, he ain't, man, we ain't even been doing this shit. 52, he can do it. I've been posting every day. I post every day. 52 pics. I do it every day.

He posts other people's shit. He was posting my wins. He used to post my wins. Yo, that's your wins. Yo, ghost picking? He used to be posting my wins. Wow. It's like, yo, and y'all counting this shit?

How? Gil. His wins. He's the biggest cheater in the world. So Gil going to the store to win a lottery ticket trying to cash it in. You know he's cheating, man. I won two. Yeah, I won two.

I won two. No, I'm posting yours. Why has he got so many more than us? Why did we start the shit where he has 49 and we got eight? I posted something. It's like, how does this happen? Why are you counting those? Why wouldn't you start when we started?

Because I got to post when you post, I got to post when you post, I got to post when you post. So if you guys are posting every day, each one of you, I'm posting two. Like, I post your wins on Instagram. But I got to post... That's times what...

Nine is the highest that we win. He's at 52. How many weeks have we had? No, so we know I've been doing it the whole time too, but we've been doing yeah, I've been doing it more I've been losing I just haven't been posted Paula. You got my phone Paulo Bring him his phone. I went like was three straight days. I was 17 and oh Shout out Paolo.

Who's that every day? Making a rare appearance in front of the camera. That's what I said. When they're fucking up in the back, he is a part of that fucking up. But when they're doing good work in the back, he's a part of that too. Bring that buzz here. Shout out Paolo. Like, even though mine, like, this is Kenyon's pack.

My pack that's on there was I got Yoko 8.5 higher on assist. Hmm D'Angelo Russell 12.5 points higher Sabonis 14 and a half points higher BAM 7.5 rebounds higher. So those are sure you know some looking at him So if we tracked how many pigs everybody's paid since December, he's not going to be at 52. I just... This is four, but it's not up there, so I'm going to have four more.

When you post tomorrow, I'm going to have four more. When Brandon posts, I'm going to have four more. But this is what I'm saying. Steve, call us and ask us, what's your pigs? Yeah. He's only asked me seven times. Wait, no. No, seven picks.

He's asked you twice. He asked you twice. How many times? How many picks? I'll give you two, four. Two sets of picks. I gave you a three and a one for it. Three and a four.

So he's only asked me twice. Yeah. Damn. That's worse. That's even worse. So who was asking Gil? They was giving Gil his his pics he was doing Why would we be counting that I get asked every morning, but why would we do though?

I just came up with it. So when it's your time to go again, what's the match you can do? Hey, like shit get a mate. Yeah, I made the motherfuckers airtime. You catch up your luck We shot you will be submitting pics for tomorrow. So you might as well pick you eight now So as always, we do Mostly Fans. Is it your eight? No, you get your twelve.

So, NBA All-Star Weekend

a little over two weeks away. The dunk contest field is set. Let us take a look if we can. Two-time reigning champion Mack McClung, who's currently on a two-way deal with the Magic, looks to become the first player in league history to win the contest three times. He'll square off against a pair

of rookies in Spurs guards, Tafon Castle and Bulls rookie Matas Bouzelis, along with Bucs second-year wing Andre Jackson Jr. So on a scale of one to ten, ten being the most turnt, how excited are you for the dunk contest at NBA All-Star Weekend this year? If I take my son, I'm ten. If I take Cash, then I'm ten. If I take Cash, then I'm 10. Oh, because he'll be excited, right? He'll be happy.

His excitement will make you excited? Absolutely. That's good parenting. Why are you in comment? If Cash doesn't come and you have to go on your own. Who's in it? Mack McClung. Mack McClung, Stephon Castle from the Spurs,

Matas Buzelos from the Bulls, and Andre Jackson Jr. from the Bucs. Shit, Mac going to win it again. Mac McClung. Yeah, he's going to win it again. I'll go with Castle. Fuck it. Fuck it.

Yeah, I'm going with Mac. Why is it only four? Because that's all it needed to be. Is that all that wanted to do it? Because it used to be more than that, right? No? There used to be more. There was more than four.

Yeah, it used to be more. And they had what, like three rounds? Yeah. They would have the clock, and then you could only get the attempts. And I mean, it shifted. Goal line. Doesn't really excite me.

A jacket go right in. Excited about the dunk contest at all, Cheryl? Am I? Yeah. You can tell the truth. Um, if my son was in it, I would be. He didn't win the G League. He should get the invite, because he won the G League joint. I know. He's just doing the G League one again.

No, he should be in the big one. Tell him. It should be him and Mac. I like that. Yeah, they should have a face-off. Because that's where Mac started at. He did. So he got the opportunity to go showcase his fucking leap in the building there in front of the world.

So why wasn't your son? I don't know. Adam! I like the idea. Adam Silver, we need to get Cheryl's son in the dunk contest. It's just different. It's different than it used to be. Yeah, we need to get her son in the the dunk contest. Well, it's just different. It's different than it used to be. Yeah, we need to get her son in the dunk contest, man.

Let's start a petition. Let's do it. You have the power. You got plenty of time. You have the number one basketball show. Yeah, that's good. I know, Gilbert. In the same country Adam Silver lives in.

Your full Gilbert. Full government. Y'all seeing the fun? Are you excited to offer the dunk contest? Yeah, I'm going to do what I'm doing now during the dunk contest. Look at the girls are in the chat. It's in the chat, man.

We watch all these motherfuckers fly. And you, you, you, you picking who? Yeah, but... Can you mark Jr. hit his head on a goddamn near rim one time? Not him either. Is it because they don't want to do it? I don't give a fuck what they want to do.

Well, I don't know. Or does the league say, here's who's going to be in the double time? Why ain't their picks a-swinging? This shit going gonna be like 86 85 you are doing you are doing it you are doing it motherfuckers be like Hey in the 80s when you all see Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins didn't only two that was gonna win the rest of them They were props though Them the only two that was going to win. The rest of them, props. Spud Webb, come on, show some love.

They were props, though. Spud got this. I watched. I didn't think he was going to be there. I watched the 87. I seen Otis Smith. He was in Dallas, too, so he's from Dallas, so he walked out. He did a 360 windmill, got a 42. Dominique Wilkins did a regular windmill, 50.

Like, okay, all right. You know, hey, y'all. Just go ahead. Thank you, man. But back then, it, all right. You know, hey, y'all. Just go ahead. Thank you, man. But back then, it was team awareness. So the guys that were supposed to be there for the team. Yeah, there's some young guys that get off. Motherfucker, J.J., man.

Stop this shit. No, I'm not watching this shit. I'm letting you know I'm not watching it. That young boy from Portland get off that goddamn team. Sharp. Come on. Sharp, come on. You acting like we're not watching this shit. He can come on. Sharp, come on. You acting like we're not watching this shit.

We can see who can jump out the gym. Man, who need to be out there for sure. The young boy from Philly, Ricky Council IV, he's Council. Yes. He did some shit last night in the game. Yeah. I was like, OK, young fella.

Didn't I see that game, so I'm familiar with you. You should have brought me in that bitch. Y'all could watch that game. Was there a game last night? Hold your minute. Who? Ronnie could have done it. You want fans?

Oh, you want somebody to watch it? Watch it? Throw Ronnie in it. You want some ratings? Get your morale back. If he's doing some ratings. If he's doing great. Get your morale back.

Everybody's going to be watching. Ronnie going to win and dunk that. Everybody's going to be watching. Right? Ronnie going to pay. They want to watch him fall on his face? Or they want to watch him do well? Look at him bring it.

Look at him bring it. Look at him bring it. Ha, ha bring it, look at him bring it. Ha, ha, ha, ha! Everybody watching, though. No doubt. Who's in charge of choosing? Who's in charge of... Oh, no, but they did a bad job.

Whoever it is, come holler at the arena. You got to put some people's names so somebody knows. That's a great point. Speaking of big names, so... I mean, it's like they don't... They're missing the concept of entertainment. And you got to put some more money on it. So, speaking of big names, so Matas Bozelez

will represent the Bulls in the dunk contest. But on Tuesday, two-time slam dunk champion Zach Levine showed that he still got boosties after posting this video on his TikTok. Let's take a look at the video. 50. He posted it with the caption,

might have to get back into the dunk contest, dot, dot, dot, question mark. If I'm him? Shrug. If I'm him? I'm entering. And winning it. And just give me my third one.

Shit, ain't no high jumpers in there. Like, that's going... Thank you. Oh, he still got it. So, we talked about Zach, but I want you guys to give me the four active players that you'd want to see compete in the dunk contest. You can only pick four. Who would you want to see? Who would make you want to watch it, make it be primetime

viewing again like it used to be back in our day? Jalen Green, Ant-Man. Yes, Star Study. John Morant. Star Study. And Zion. Shit, there you go.

Wow. That's a hell of a dunk contest. Yeah. Wow. You throw the Sharp boy in there just for him. Yeah. Because he's been sitting there. You can throw the rest of the ones you were talking about.

Throw them in there as the other four. Because KJ is a one foot jumper. Yeah. KJ, Sharp, Council. And he jump off two too. I know, but I'm just saying you can jump off one too. Yeah, yeah. And then throw Cheryl's son in there. Wow. KJ is a one foot jumper. Yeah. KJ, Sharp, Council. And he can jump off two, too. I know, but I'm just saying you can jump off one. And then throw Cheryl's son in there. Throw Cheryl's son in there.

KJ, fly. The other four. Right? He was a champion, right? Yeah. Throw him in there. That's pretty good. Yeah, he should get in because he's a G League champion.

G League should be on that stage. It should be eight. It should be eight. Shout out Jordan Jackson. Let the fans. Let's go. This is something. Let's call it a badon contest.

Let the fans pick. Right? Let the fans pick. Like they do the all-stars. a dunk contest. Let the fans pick. Right? Let the fans pick. Like they do to all sports. Yeah, fans. No, you got to do it, boy. No, let the fans pick. Like, I wouldn't mind if the fans pick because it kind of put pressure on a lot of people, too.

Well, give them a pool to pick from because fans are going to be picking. Yeah, you got to give them a pool to pick from. Yeah. You got to give them direction. Yeah. You got to give them direction. You got to give them direction. They're going to put LeBron.

Yeah. It's going to be Steph Curry. Luka. He's going to be looking at that shit like, what the fuck? He's going to have Luka in that motherfucker like, come on, man. I wouldn't mind seeing Luka in the dunk contest just for the comedic effect. Or like Zack Eady or somebody like that. Just put a big F. That's a nice score, though.

Them shits is outstanding. Makes you want to see it. Chastain, Amon Thompson, they would love to see him. Both of them. And his brother. Yeah. His brother Cole. His brother more athletic than him.

And they can combine this. I think Jaar. Jaar's way more athletic. I think Jaar probably because he can't palm the ball. He's a little hard. Just like with Steve Francis, he limited what he can do. Like some people are dunk contest dunkers. But he's still going to be flashy. guy limited what he can do like some people are contest done But he still goes gonna be flashy. Some people are

Gonna be flashed. Yeah. No, don't be flat. Some people like Jaza game dunker. Let him go What about him? Let that motherfucker Every big man in the league under the rim, let Dodgers take turns, see who we can dunk them. Yo. Yeah, but no, that'll be, yeah. They doing a bad job with promoting it, with the product that they're putting out there.

So. Hey, just all you. Like, I think KJ should get back in it. All the older people that's sitting in these positions of decision-making, stop listening to yourselves, right? You're outdated, right? Just stop listening to yourselves. You are outdated to what the consumer wants to see. The consumer watches Instagram,

YouTube, Twitter, TikTok. They see dunking all motherfucking year. Right? They're exposed to high-level creativity. So what

ends up happening is when you put a bunch of people that they can't do it, they're not interested in it. They don't know their name, they're not watching them. You, like, the demographic you're missing is the youth, 35 to fucking 10 years old. Start looking at what they're looking at. These jump teams, these team flights, and these motherfuckers sitting there doing this with the backboard between the legs two times,

you might want to try to figure out how to put them in it to get the viewership you're missing. I just thought of something. Just that fast when you said it. You let them go, and you let the guy in the lead try to implement, do the same dunk. He got to get one of them dudes to do some of that boom, boom shit.

And you get Zach Levine to go behind him and boom, boom. He got to try to do the same thing. What about this? Yes. Right? What about two on two? Two on two dunk contest? Combine scores, shit like that.

You're taking NBA player and the whole. Yeah, NBA player. That's nice. That's nice. That's nice. They got to pick their teammate. Combine scores. See how easy that shit is when you get people that know basketball? At that point, now it's like NBA Jam.

You got the dunker and then the other dude. And now you can actually do collaboration dunks and all that. You know, it's so funny because you might get a name that you wasn't expecting... Absolutely. ...all because the chances of you and me combined... Oh, we'll win it. Fuck it, I can come. We'll win it for sure. So we asked the chat, how excited are you for the dunk contest?

We gave them three options, very excited, not excited, but will watch, trash, not watching. So 7 options. Very excited. Not excited, but will watch. Trash, not watching. So 7% said very excited. What percent? 7% said they're... 7. Everybody knows what he says. 7.

Wow. 7. 44% said trash, not watching. 49% said not excited, but will watch. See? Wow. Because it's the dunk contest. What's so funny is, I know they're not going to be paying attention to this,

but these are viewers. These are people watching. You need to see what they're saying. Seven percent said what? Excited. Oh, seven percent excited. Seven percent said they're excited about this dunk contest. Very excited.

That lets you know how far removed you are on... They might have clicked it on accident. Because if you put some other names on it... Sometimes you get excited with the poll. Yeah, you put some other names on it. Just like... At this point... It's stupid.

If you're LeBron, you just do it just to do it. Yep. You never did it before. You never did it. You never did it. Because it's... I understand why... Oh, tier two on two....creativity is not the same. Just jumping Create here here to our line doing this shit

Rodney and LeBron LeBron winning at 40 missed that window with him. So with LeBron he wins at 40. He's great So you lose it people would tune in to what you should have made him do it as a rookie She had a high as a rookie man. They miss people will want to watch It is should have made a team they should be brawnron together. Yeah, they should have made Bron do it his rookie season. It was the easiest form. He did the McDonald's, right? Yeah, he did.

Yeah, he did McDonald's. So let's keep this thing moving. He lost that one, right? No, he won. Shannon Brown. That was Shannon Brown's one? No. Yeah.

Right? That was Shannon Brown? No, that was Gerald Green. That was Shannon Brown's one? No. Yeah. Right? That was Shannon Brown's? What? No, that was Gerald Green. In the dunk contest with him? I thought it was... Oh, I swear that was Shannon. I think he won McDonald's.

David Lee won the year. With who? David Lee beat James. Yeah, David Lee beat James, which is... And the year after that was Brian. He won. Yeah, Brian won. He won 2003 McDonald's.

Yeah, who was that? Let me see. I remember, like, J.R. Giddens was in it, if I'm not mistaken. J.R. Giddens was in it. Yeah, yeah,'s. Yeah, who was that? I don't think nobody. Let me see. Nobody. Remember like J.R. Giddens was in it if I'm not wrong? J.R. Giddens was in it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was a flyer. Because he kind of tricked his dunk if I remember. Yeah, he jumped in every dunk. He was a little nervous. You know, that's what I'm saying. Some guys are in-game dunkers, some guys are creative dunkers. You know, most of the guys who can jump high, they can jump high.

If y'all remember, LeBron primarily entered his name, primarily entered the name of the dunk contest a while back, but never never followed doing it Primarily in my name You gotta speak brahnees understand what I'm gonna give you a million dollars to put your name in a dunk contest And then last game of the season hammy Last game of the run wasn't a. I mean, last game of the run, what's the name? Just hammy. I need the excitement to come towards dunk contest.

Just have him pull it in warm-up. And then pull out in the warm-up, and then get ready for Sunday. Yeah. Fuck it. Fuck it. I got everybody in the building. I don't give a fuck if they disappointed. So Shannon Brown wasn't in that McDonald's.

I didn't realize that. Once you buy the ticket, goddammit, I don't give a fuck about your review. So sticking with the NBA All-Star Weekend theme, NBA was looking to build off the success of Steph versus Sabrina Inescu three-point shootout

from last All-Star Weekend, but according to a report from Sports Business Journal, Kaitlyn Clark ain't gonna be there with SBJ reporting that sources said Clark is not interested in shooting three-pointers off a ball rack

considering her practice regimen considering her practice regimen consists of catch and shoot three-pointers or shots off the dribble, and unless she is persuaded otherwise, she will decline the invitation. So Shams followed that up with a tweet in the last hour saying, Indiana Fever star Kaitlyn Clark will not participate in NBA All-Star special three-point shootout in San Francisco, wants her first three-point contest to be at WNBA All-Star in Indianapolis this summer. Her representative at Excel Sports said today. So Clark recently celebrated her 23rd birthday. Fever posted a video of her knocking down 50 of 54 catch-and-shoot threes.

Shot, I see you shaking your head over there. Thoughts on Kayla Clark declining to participate in the NBA All-Star weekend, saying she'll do it WNBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis this summer? As separate as it seems, I think she's doing the noble thing as a female leader. She's putting the females first. She's saying, if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it here first. I'm not going to, because it's piggybacking. It's kind of what's happening. And it's basically

allowing Caitlyn to come over and bring this crowd over here to our crowd. And it's not our crowd going over to there. So she would rather, y'all come see me first. Let me be the winner over here. Because she might lose. Fuck around and lose your first one over here. What's the point of going over here with the confidence in our markets again? No, I respect that. Mm-hmm. Because Sabrina did the opposite, right? Sabrina shot in last year's All-Star Game with Steph, but refused to participate in the WNBA

three-point shooting contest. Well, that's... So, yeah. That's a great opportunity for Caitlyn to take advantage of that. Good shit. There are also reports that Steph may participate in the WNBA. Yeah, I was just wondering, can the men go down there and, you know,

get a couple of awards and shit? Go ahead and steal the couple. Go ahead and steal the couple. I know Trump is in office, but fuck this. Go head down there and feel good about myself. Get a couple. Get a couple of awards. But I can beat you. Well, fuck this. Now I feel good about myself. Get a couple of awards. But I can beat you.

I can beat you. Get a couple of awards. Get a couple of awards. You know what I mean? Well, come on. You respect the move. Do it at WNBA. I'm not trying to mess with y'all.

Come over here and see me. We're going to be in the nap, as they call it. Yeah, I mean, and she's at home. It's the first time Indy's had a W All-Star game. Like, I respect it. I'm a fan of Indianapolis. I love that everything is centrally located. Not a fan of Indianapolis.

Not a fan of Indianapolis. Not a fan at all. They got steak and shake. That's it. You know what I'm looking for when I come to a city. Okay, fries. The first part of eateries. The first part of her statement, she didn't eat. Which part? Cheese steak. Cheese steak. That's it. You know what I'm looking for when I come to a city. Okay, fries. The eateries.

The first part of her statement, she didn't eat. It's station. Which part? Cheese steak. Cheese steak. The part where... Oh, that she doesn't shoot off the rack? She doesn't shoot off the rack.

What the fuck you think you're going to shoot off when it's in Indiana? Well, you never know. PR. That was PR. It's just a PR thing. That brings me to my next question. Yeah. You got to say why.

It's the rack. Y'all want to shoot... No, she said, I don't want to do it. Point blank period. Your say, I don't want to shoot. It's the rack. No, she said, I don't want to do it. You're a brand. Point blank period. I don't want to shoot. Yeah. I want to build up the WNBA.

I'm cool. She left it open at the end. What'd she say? Unless I'm convinced otherwise. I'm persuaded otherwise, so come with some bread. Give me some incentive. I might start shooting off the rack when I warm up. Bring it to my other question.

The fucked up part is, if you're the NBA and she says that shit, she has a price, I'm doing it. Why not? I'm doing it. You know, the men are going to be mad at me. I got $42,000 to be in this motherfucker. You're going to give her $50,000? Yeah.

You're going to five minutes? Okay. Married best. Married best. 2025. Should the three-point contest give players the option of going off the rack or doing catch-and-shoot? I think so. Passes fluctuate.

Who's going to be passing? Get a designated pass. What about the gun? Get the little gun joint. That shit would take forever. It ain't fast enough. That would take forever. Would you have a designated pass?

You could speed it up. No. You could speed it up. It ain't fast enough. You could do point seconds. Point five. That'll take forever. That's how I shoot. You can speed it up. It ain't faster. You can do point seconds, point five. Boom, boom, pow, pow, pow. That's how I shoot.

I get them off quick. 25 seconds? You need no... Wait, wait, how many seconds is it? I think it's like a minute and ten now or something. Because they got the story. If you got a passer that's right there that's just, here you go, here you go, here you go.

That's perfect. Too fast. No. Too fast. Arm going to get tied real fast. I mean, it's very different. That rack is unrealistic. That's what she's perfect. Too fast. No. Too fast. Arm going to get tied real fast. I mean, it's very different. That rack is unrealistic. That's what she's saying.

I'm going to call him and fucking play with no damn rack. Dump contest is unrealistic to an in-game dunker. Shit. That's the layup line dunking, man. That dunk contest is the layup line dunking.

I mean, don't be coming here trying to change our motherfucking sport. Nobody shoots off the rack in a game. Nope. No, I'm saying. So, like, that's what the rack in a game. Nope. No, I'm saying. So, like, that's what the three-point shooting contest has always been.

The dunk contest. Nobody does dunk contests in the game either. Somebody must be complaining about that shit. They're trying to change it. Her. Her. No. She just complained about that shit.

She's talking about, I don't shoot off the rack. God, I don't. So they already talked about changing it? A real shooter's it. So they already talked about changing it? A real shooter shooting off anything, I'm mad. They already talked about changing it? What? No. I'm just throwing it out there. Stirring the pot, as they like to say.

Yeah, they won't change it. That's what you're doing. They won't change it. How does Steph look off the rack? You look fine, right? You don't matter. Steph doesn't look... I think she's probably... He started slow.

I think she probably tried it off the rack and didn't. It didn't go well because her form is higher, so pulling it down and it kind of fucks her up a little bit. If you can shoot, you can shoot. I ain't gonna lie. That is what I was told. Period. If you can shoot, you can shoot. Alright, but let's keep this thing moving. Today's podcast

You know what? I'm with Kaitlin on this, man. That's why they call me Agent 12. You were not... It was them racks. It was leaning left. It was leaning back. Some was leaning left. It was leaning back. It wasn't... Some was leaning forward. Some was leaning back.

That's right. The racks were right. I need my pass, goddammit. That's what happened. Feel better. Feel better. I need my pass, man. You were shooting on the gun.

I had to think about it. Almost on the... But even with a passer, passes can be all over the place. I don't give a fuck about that. So you still got to reach up and get it or bend down here and get it? I got an excuse. I believe you're referring to the... I'm making a good sign.

I'm making a good sign. I'm making a good sign. I'm making over the place. I don't give a fuck about that. So you still got to reach up and get it or bend down here and get it? I prefer a bad pass. I got an excuse. I'm making a good sign. I believe you're referring to the first ever Gills Arena shootout presented by Underdog. You scored a first round score of 12. They were calling you Agent 12. They were also calling you Gilbrick.

I think, Shod, you made a t-shirt. It was the shit. It was the right. It wasn't angle. And then if I have a bad passer, it's his fault. That's fair. You know? I got outs here.

You 40. I changed my mind. I'm with Caitlyn on this one. You know, if it ain't the way you like it, it ain't the way you like it. That's how I do it. Are we going to have passers this year? No. I have a bunch of ball boys.

Y'all better be hustling, goddammit. Don't fuck my rhythm up. So let's talk about something that we addressed yesterday on the show. So Tuesday, news broke that the Kings and De'Aaron Fox could be looking to part ways before the trade deadline. Kenyon, you did not care. You wanted the news to happen already. We don't need to speculate, sinewate, or any of those other things. But according to reports from Fox's agent,

Rich Paul advised the Kings it would be wise to move the former All-Star guard sooner rather than later. I mean, yeah, y'all can keep him if you want, but he only got one year left on his deal. So Fox, like I said, one year remaining on his deal could become an unrestricted free agent summer of 2026.

This news comes on the heels of Paul informing the Kings that Fox would not sign an extension with the team earlier this season. So according to several reports, the era Fox's preferred destination is the Spurs as he looks to pair up with rising superstar Victor Wiminyama, also known as Wamba Wamba. The Spurs have some pieces, a bunch of draft assets to offer the Kings up to nine first round picks through the 2031 draft. And 20 and 20 20 20 and 23 this season are 12th in the West but they're only four and a half games behind the Clippers for the six spot two and a half game behind the Kings for the final

playing spot can I see you looking at me okay I was gonna tuck my chain in just in case preemptive if you were the Spurs would you make a move for De'Aaron Fox to pair with Wimby? Who we got to give up? Glad you asked. I mean, a lot of routes you can go. CP, 301, your deal. He's making about $10 million this year. Devin Vassell, I think, is in, what, the $27, $28 million range.

You package those two together. No, you're not going to. And throw some picks in there. CP, you can stay. So what is Castle? Is he a point or is he a two? What is he? Uh, I think play. Hybrid. Yeah. Hybrid. Can they play together? I'm going Castle, Fasil, and Johnson. All three. Keldon Johnson? All three of them. Throw in about three, four picks. Yep. If you want. Yep. They got a bunch of picks. Are you trading for Fox? If I'm the Kings, because it's like they're giving up on him, so you're going to have to give something up

if you disperse to get him. You can't just... CP ain't it. If I'm the Kings, I'm not accepting that. It's just me like, yo, see, no. I need Castle and Vasil for sure. Oh, you need Castle and Vassell. Castle and Vassell for sure.

For De'Aaron Fox? Is he All-NBA? He was All-NBA 2023, Cutch Player of the Year 2023. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All-Star 2023. We need that. Yeah, we're not giving him up for nothing more than them two right there. So, Sean said,

The Spurs have already gotten dozens of calls since news broke. They've been winning right? Who? Spurs. The Sacramento Kings. The Kings are 10 and 4 under Doug Christie who replaced Mike Brown, currently 10th in the Western Conference. Trying to get rid of De'Aaron Fox before the break. So they've been winning, and he doesn't want to be there? As of late, Gil. The Kings got the calls. Okay, Kings got the calls for De'Aaron Fox.

So most likely it's the what? Assistant coach comes in, change, right? Change how we're going to move this ship a little bit, right? He ain't number one. We're going to play through another source right now. Get off the ball, De'Aaron. Get off the ball. There's no way you get rid of Mike Brown,

y'all winning, and you're not happy about it, right? It just lets you know that the Christie's wants to play through probably the ideal. Sabonis. He's realizing Sabonis, right? He's realizing Sabonis is kind of like a Jokic. Not kind of.

Chris Webber type. The fuck, not kind of. Yeah. More athletic. Yeah, more athletic. But, you know, that style where he has a team, he can create a lot of offense for everybody else. So he wants to probably play through him.

And, you know, Darren is not getting the shot looks he's used to. And he probably just, I need to move on. So Fox has one year remaining on his contract, like I pointed out. $37.1 million he would make in 25-26. Bypass the three-year $165 million max extension from the Kings before this season. Will be eligible for a four-year $229 million extension next summer. But if he's selected to an All-NBA team this year, be eligible for a five-year $345 million super max.

What is the average? I don't know if you can look it up. The last 15 games. I'm looking at the last. So Doug, Chrissy took over the last 14 games right today. So 33, 35, 23. He missed three games. Oh. I'm looking at the last. So Doug, Doug, Chrissy took up the last 14 games right so far. So 33, 35, 23. He missed three games. So he's averaging 24, 6 and 5 rebounds in the last 15 games that he's played.

His last six games? How many? His last six games. Oh, his last six games you said? His last six games are nasty except for the last game. So what did he average the last 14 games you said just now? So last 15 games, 24 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds. So he down a point.

But he started off with 20, 36. I mean, 33. But like Gil said, last 6 games, 18.7 assists. 18. 3 rebounds. 19, 12, 14, 17, 14. It started after he came back, too, after he came back from the injury. He came back from the injury.

The injury. That's when he went down. They changed their format So yeah did beat the Kings during that stretch with Doug Chrissy when they won seven straight Without De'arra Fox would miss three games in that window for the season. He's averaging 25 six assists five rebounds in the 43 games That he's played so hmm Hmm I mean, you know I

Can see them playing through Sabonis Mm. Mm. They just, I mean, you know. I can see them playing through some bonus. Now they just looking for an effective point guard now. They don't want no dynamic point guard that's going to demand the ball. They want to get off of it. Yeah, but if he doesn't want to be there, you probably want to move him. Who's his agent? I don't know.

Rich Paul of Clutch Sports. I don't know. Rich Paul of Clutch Sports. I don't know. Who? So his agent is telling him, you want to be a star? Trust me. Did he, wasn't he just, he just signed with Curry Brand, right? He's a member of the Under Armour? Did he just change his agent?

Wasn't he with somebody else before Rich? Mm-hmm. So he just changed, right? So yeah, this is... Let's refurbish this. We're gonna redecorate this. All right, first things first. Let's get the fuck up out of here.

Out of Sacramento. Let's get the fuck up out of here. Yeah, I think, you know, if I'm Fox, I'm gonna really look at last year. Because last year, Curry made All-NBA, but my team was rated higher and my numbers was better. So no matter how you wanted to play it, I will be over Curry for All-NBA. So the fact that I didn't win it or get on the team, it kind of says they'd rather have, instead of having two Sacramento guys,

they'd rather have one, and then, you know, you get Golden State, you know, bigger market. So, you know, me, I would be, start kicking into, like, business part of it. Like, the shit I gotta do to just compete with this guy. That's, you know what I mean?

That's, you know, he averages 25. I got to average 30 just to get the same look. And that's, you know, that's the difference between small markets, you know? Like Westbrook, you got to have a triple-double. You got to, you know, sit there and have killer numbers compared to somebody who's sitting in a small market. I mean, in a bigger market.

I don't blame them. I mean... Hey, go get your money, son. Yeah. The game is the game, as they say. We will monitor the situation. I guess trade deadline next Thursday, noon Pacific. Should be a lot of wheeling and dealing going on. And we will be here.

Those are the funnest days, man. Yeah, y'all didn't have trade deadline then, right? Mm-hmm. You didn't? Did people get traded like that? Trade didn't really happen like that in the W. NBA. Especially, you know, you're like the max player. Your shit's

secured. You just sit back just watching motherfuckers on the phone with the agents. So, what happened? They're not, huh? What teams? So, they ain't fucking with me? You be sitting there like, I told you you should have shut the fuck up yesterday. Your ass is gone.

You be sitting there just, motherffucker sweat for no reason. Nobody would hear that. Yeah. I was waiting on that motherfucker a lot. You was? In Denver, I was waiting on that day. I was waiting on that goddamn day a whole lot in Denver, boy. Get me the fuck on out of here.

Please. Disappointed a whole lot. For yourself? Absolutely, for me. You looking around that locker room like, get me the fuck out of here, please. Oh, he tried his ass. No, for me, get me the fuck out of here,

or I end up in motherfucking prison. I know that shit's stressful, but it was funny on us. Yeah, that shit's stressful. When you know you ain't getting traded, that shit's funnier than the motherfucker just watching people just. There was a couple times, it almost happened a couple times. Yeah, that shit's stressful. When you know you ain't getting traded, that shit's funnier than the motherfucker just watching people just... It was a couple times, it almost happened a couple times. Oh, you did?

Oh, man. So how much, is your agent talking to you? How much are you aware of what's going on? Talking to my agent, I ain't talking to him. But I mean, are you getting excited, like ooh, thinking about the possibilities, or you just kind of even- No, I'm just even-keeled weight on this shit happening.

When it don't, I gotta go look at this motherfucker some more It's easy when you want to get out of there, but if you just Innocent bystander you've been doing your job and it's though you in Yeah, you know we thinking about trading Gilbert like hey what? The fuck you talking what I do Now you got a pack up and leave pack your shit up go somewhere else That's the one that's got a whole world change, huh? I said that has to be the worst Now you got to pack up and leave, pack your shit up, go somewhere else. That's the one that's got to be the worst.

Your whole world changed. Huh? I said, that has to be the worst. When you're not expecting it, right? Like, you hear other people possibly getting traded, and the next thing you know, your agent's calling you saying... Sometimes you find out on the ticket.

TV, yeah. Because your agent didn't know. They just, at the last minute, oh, you want who? Fuck it. All right, bet. Gone. Your ass done landed in a whole new city. You in layup line.

Like, think about it. We done seen people in layup line, motherfucker, in the middle of layup. Got to, like, come here. Got to stop like the pause button. He be just. So tell me. Tell me if this is bad. Oh, my gosh. You go 14 games, DMP.

No one tells you why you're not playing. Not getting interviewed by nobody. Agent won't even give you a fucking reason why. Nothing happening, right? You ask for a trade. They say, okay. They go to 21 games, DMP. Then they ship you out to the worst team in the league.

A great city, though. And they tell that worst team in the league, hey, he's a fucking asshole. So when you get there, the first thing they do is they anticipate you're going to do some asshole shit. And what did you do, Jimmy Butler? I was the first one there.

Oh, I was going to say, you did some asshole shit. And I had an enemy on the team. As soon as I got there, I went up and I squashed the beef because it's a fresh start. But guess what happened anyway? You get fucked over anyway. Some scenarios are just a scenario, but when people start hearing a scenario, they be like, hey, man, that happened?

That happened? Was that your... Contract year. Ah. Contract year. Crazy as fuck. So it ain't nothing you can do. It's like DMP coach's decision.

No player is really questioning it. Because we all looking at the stat sheet, like who hooping, who playing. Why Nate Robinson ain't play tonight? He's averaging 20. Coach's decision. Kenyon on the bench, coach's decision. Oh, George over there fucking with him. Yeah, by the trade, I'm going to go ahead and...

To the worst, because I asked for the trade. Oh, don't you dare. Don't you dare. Oh, you want to go somewhere? All right, we got you. Does that city currently have seven Chili's in the metropolitan area? How many?

Yes. Okay. Did it have seven Chili's then? No, it was two. It was two. It was two. Give me five more. People got to get their Chili's,

but let's keep this thing moving. Lakers pulled up to Philly Tuesday night in the midst of a four-game winning streak. Third game in their sixth game Grammy road trip. Sixers were without Embiid and Paul George. But Tyrese Maxey said, F the big three. It's just big me. Things took a turn for the worse for the purple and gold early in the game. After Anthony Davis left the game in the first quarter with an abdominal strain,

did not return. Let's take a look right here. Stomach not looking right. We'll have more on that in just a moment. So LeBron took back the keys as the Lakers' number one option, finished the game with 31 points on 10 of 16 shooting, along with eight rebounds, nine assists, and a season-high eight turnovers. Dalton Kinnett came off the bench, dropped 24 points.

He was 5-8 from three. Austin Reed and Rui Hachimura both had 13 points. Bronny also saw some action in the game, making a rare appearance in the first quarter, playing a career-high 15 minutes. He was 0-5 from the field, but did have three rebounds, an assist, and one block. Tyrese Max minutes. It was 0 for 5 from the field, but did have three rebounds and assists in one block. Tyrese Maxey delivered one of his best games of the season,

leading the Sixers with 43 points. He was 15 for 26 from the field, 9 for 9 from the line. Kelly Oubre added 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 dimes. Darshan Yabusele had 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals. And Ricky Council came off the bench, had 16 points and seven rebounds. Sixers have won three straight games, but are three and seven in their last 10 games. So back to AD. Still unclear just how much time AD will miss.

But according to Shams, AD will be reevaluated in a week, but could miss some extended time recovering from the injury. So depending on the severity of the strain, the typical recovery range could be anywhere from one to six weeks. I am not a doctor. My best guess is we will see him after the All-Star break. But after the game, LeBron had this to say about the Lakers losing their number one option. I mean, when our best player goes out, it's always challenging,

especially in the game. If he's out from the beginning and we have a game plan set, we know what to expect. We know what our lineup is going to be. But when AD goes down or any one of our guys go down throughout the course of a game, it's just tough. I didn't even realize until the second quarter when he didn't come back in his regular minutes.

And I looked over the bench, he wasn't over there. So I found him at halftime. But level of concern, I think he'll be fine. So Bron thinks he'll be fine. AD's missed just three of the Lakers' 45 games this season, played a career-high 76 games last season, but given AD's past

injury issues, start with Gil, our resident Lakers fan, rocking the Schick Hearn jersey. I see you over there in deep thought, pondering how concerned should the Lakers be about AD's abdominal strain as they look to stay afloat in a tough Western Conference. We were just showing him love yesterday. I blame the chat.

It's hard for you? This reminds me of elementary school, man. Your kid come home, man, with all these weird-ass injuries. Like, how did you get that? Like, the ankle, like, okay, give me the ankle and knee, right? Like, this motherfucker be having bicep injuries, soreness, thigh contusion. Abdominal strain.

Yeah, domino, back of the neck bruising. Like, come on, man. It's hard to take it serious because it's not ideal of how we get injured. Right? He reached for the ball. Boom. Out of there.

Boy, you better start stretching after them workouts, boy. Them late night workouts, boy. You better get some yoga in your life. Poked in the eye with glasses and went under the glass. Like, I'm just thinking about all the injuries, man. You got the glasses up. Not this way. Not this way. He said they went this way.

At the top, man. You're like a. You ever see this? What's wrong with you? Oh my god. That's funny. Somehow he got hit. His way, though. he got them on anyway.

So when did you put them on? We gonna get you in there too. That's hilarious. Like, how do you do that? Yeah. How you get the marble in those? The big marble too. Not the small one.

The big one in there. You kept going. You knew you couldn't fit it in there. How'd you get it in there. How'd you get it in there? My son had a rock in his. I said the same thing. How did you get a rock in your nose?

His friend said, I bet I can put this rock in your nose. And he said, I bet you can't. He said, you want me to show you? He said, yeah. Yeah, kid. Who called me and said your son has a rock stuck in his nose. Five minutes later. Five minutes later.

Five minutes later. Cheryl, school calls you and tells you what happened. What is your reaction to find out? Well, they said, your son has a rock stuck in his nose. And I said, what? Like, how did that happen? So I was hot. Real boy shit.

I'm driving. I go to the school. And the teacher said, Swoops, I'm so sorry. So I was like, listen, where the fuck is my kid? They're on the playground. They're playing. So I go outside, and the two of them are standing there laughing.

And he still has the rock in his nose. He still got the rock in his nose. See, I told you I was going to get it. He still has the rock in his nose. You did. You did. You did. And I'm mad. in his nose. See, I told you I was going to get it. He still has the rock in his nose. You did, you did, you did. And I'm mad. I'm hot. And I said, what happened?

Oh, me and Michael, his name was Michael. Me and Michael were playing. He said that he could put the rock in my nose. And I said, you can't? And he said, you want me to show you? And I said, yeah. Real boy shit. And it, like, it was a big-ass rock.

So I'm sitting here Talking to my kid And he's Half of the rock is out And I'm like Okay He's unfazed Unfazed Unbobbed

Actually happy I'm so mad He's happy He fit it He fit it He had it Because he won He won

Yeah I don't know He lost Don't take it out He lost Don't take it out I gotta keep it in I gotta keep it in

I gotta show my trophy Yeah Real boy shit Real boy shit Real boy shit What I gotta keep it in there. I gotta show my trophy. Real boy shit. Real boy shit. Real boy shit. Like what? Absolutely. That's what y'all do on the plane. Real man, that boy there.

Put the rock on. That's why, like that shit's funny. You're wearing glasses. That's funny. So yeah, I'm like, oh yeah, that could happen. Like Anthony Davis shit, I'd just be like, come on, man. I'm sorry. Why do you think he's... hurt all the time?

Or injured? I think he's hurt all the time. It's not even... Like, are we calling these injuries or just calling these, like, mishaps? Well, y'all just don't want to say what it is. Ooh. A dominant number one option? Mr. King, get right. Mr. King, you're right. Mr. King, you're right.

Air soft. Soft-shell taco mild sauce. Damn. Not even hot sauce? Mild sauce. Can I get the mild? That's not one of my tacos, too. I want the mild. Fuck all that hot shit. Fuck all that hot shit. I'm full.

That's basically... I can't handle that, man. I don't think so he was injured in college, right? No. He wasn't that long? He wasn't there. Yeah, he wasn't there long enough. Eight months. He was there a year, a season? Eight months. Nah, I mean, we got to start calling it how we see it. Six of it was basketball.

We the real media, man, and we don't start saying what it is, or they gonna start believing that they really out there doing what they supposed to do. He got to the NBA almost every season. He's injured. He with the stretch band trainers. He doing the stretch band shit. Him, Paulo Benchero, the Wagner,

they all got the same little joints, but it's like, what are y'all doing? Wait, what was theirs? Abdominal too, right? Yeah, same one, abdominal. Abductor, whatever it was. Abdominal too, right? Yeah, same one, abdominal. Abductor, whatever it was. Abductor. Abdominal, abductor, right in the same spot.

It's the same shit, man. So what you saying? They just doing the, they, it's the NBA. More tie bow. More tie bow. They doing too many sit-ups. Not enough stretching, not enough back work. Strengthening, strengthening.

Strength and conditioning. AD played 76 games last year, like I said, career high, so. No, I'm just saying that, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, Strengthening strength and conditioning ad place 76 games last year. Like I said career-high so now I'm just saying that Taking off that street clothes. My name is so tight. When you when you sit there and do this Like he is someone like he's yoga like you live yoga. I Don't know his point on what his pain threshold is like that's what I question Kenny squat 225

Pain threshold. Hey, that's what I question. You can squat 225? With pain through his shoulders? Like, that's what I question. You can't squat 225. What is he willing to play through? Like, that's what I question. Have you guys ever had an abdominal strain? No. That seems like a tough one.

You can't really do nothing while you recover. Abdominal? No, because if you don't, if you, it can move down. Yeah, it's like a groin. And turn into a groin or a spore ternium. A hernia. I had a spore ternium. Yeah, you had to be careful.

He's dealt with groin issues in the past. No, I stretch shit out. My core, his core was always together. Ain't nothing a little naproxen won't fix. You know what I'm saying? But it's coming from just doing a lot of crunches and not actually letting them stretch out. So, Gil, how concerning are you as a Lakers fan?

We were on the up and up, won four straight games. I came against a depleted Sixers squad, hoping to keep that. Not even gonna lie. Can you please? I got you. Hold on, let me see. Make sure that clutch check is clear. Yes, we ain't worried about none of this, man. You know what I mean?

We're not worried about this. We're going to stay five hold of the ship, you know? I hope so. LeBron James and Bronny James. Yeah, we good. Don't do that. Don't do that. Stop that.

Yeah, I said don't do that. We're not going to do that. I just told you to click cheer. The check cleared. I got it. First check. Don't do that. We're not gonna do that. I just told you to collect cheer. The check cleared. I got it. First check. Don't do that, though. The inaugural class check.

Can I ask a question? No, we're not going to do that. We're clear. It depends on what the question is. Okay. I'm like a wife and you cheating on me, but you just gave me a black card. Okay, like... He's a good husband.

Okay. I'm very happy here. Uh-oh. The board... 43 points, right? Might sound positive on there, please. He's a good husband. Okay. I'm very happy here. Uh-oh. 43 points, right? Write something positive on there, please. 43 points, right? Who?

Who? Tyrese Maxey. The Tyrese Maxey guy. Yeah. All right. Very good player. Tyrese Maxey. Are you doing a play? Tyrese Maxey, right?

43 points. And there is nobody else for him to defer to. How does he get 43 points? Because he a bad boy. Fast. Okay, cool. So if he's coming across the half court line, it's 14 seconds left on the shot clock.

Are you going to be hugged up to shooters on the wing and in the corners? Or would you all be back in the paint trying to stop the drive well seeing how he's the one that's really hurting us I'm probably going to

try and stop him uh oh I want to see what you're drawing up though that's not a play I've ever seen before that looks like a lot of action on the court he's 43 points That's not a play I've ever seen before. That looks like a lot of action on the first try.

It's 43 points with LeBron and AD. And then AD go down and he's like, we've got to figure this out. What are we trying to figure out? Look, make him pass the ball. Make him pass the ball. All right, you see LeBron's stat line they had up there? What did you write? Oh, my bad. Who were you talking about?

Oh, were those letters? I thought you were just diagramming action Oh, my bad. Who were you talking about? Oh, were those letters? I thought those were just, you were just diagramming action. Those are people. Who were you talking about? Okay, I thought it was in the lab. LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron, LeBron. He had 3189, right? But they forgot the eight turnovers.

Oh my God. That was mentioned in the ring. Right. Season high. So you got the eight turnovers, and you're like, for JJ, you know, he tried out Bronny, tried to use Bronny as an excuse of why we didn't have no energy tonight. Throw Bronny in there, try to give us some energy instead of just holding guys accountable for showing up to work.

So we're going to talk about Bronny in a second. But first, just back to the loss of AD. So there have been previous reports that Lakers could try to make a move before the deadline to bring in a five to help AD spend more time in his preferred position, which is the four spot With others saying the team may not make a big swing by the trade deadline Does the ad injury give the Lakers extra motivation to strengthen the roster before the trade deadline or an excuse to say hey? We was gonna do it. What do you mean? I mean a trade or you're just gonna assign somebody to free agency

What is it? We can't sign somebody for your it. What do you mean? I mean, a trade, or are you just going to sign somebody in a free agency? What is it? We can't sign somebody in a free agency. What are you going to do? You're going to make a trade while AD's out? Then what the fuck am I left with? Unless you trade for AD. What I'm saying is that AD's out.

Let's say I make a trade. I'm Rui and what's-her-name-for-who. That's going to make up that 80s out. Like, I'm... And especially if you're talking about bringing in a big man. Who is that? Different reports. Miles Turner's been a name that's been buzzing lately, but you got Vucevic.

So what do I got to trade for Miles Turner? Hopefully a... So whatever I got to trade for Miles Turner, I'm just getting Miles Turner and LeBron. And then what else? You have Austin Reeves as well, the best third option. Unless he gets put into that trade. That is not a realistic move to be made.

Dalton Connect did have 24 last year. Dalton had 24 off the bench. And Austin had what? 13. Okay. Facilitating. Sounds like a better option than me. We got some.

We can lean on him The West Side Connect game. Live and Daddy. Squeeze it. Shout out, too many billboards in Los Angeles to squeeze Live and Daddy. Squeeze it. We all need it over here, though, but you can slide, brother.

Before you speak, you did listen to GNX by Kendrick Lamar. You have been embraced. But you have been embraced as an official Los Angelino. Angelino, if you will. I wouldn't go that far, Josiah. Can't take it back. Your blue bandana on the way. To match your blue chucks, which you already had.

That I do. How you feeling about the Lakers prospects if AD has to miss extended time? Would you make a trade if you were the Lakers? I don't trust y'all front office to do shit, to be honest. Period. I'm just being, I don't trust the front office over there, bro. Nasty. Like, y'all done had multiple off seasons to do something, y' honest. Period. I'm just being blunt. I don't trust the front office over there, bro.

Nasty. Like, y'all done had multiple off-seasons to do something. Y'all ain't did shit with it. Y'all wasting LeBron's last few years as a front office. Fast facts. So I don't trust the front office to be nothing but who they are to this point. You want to do something, prove it. Like I said, don't report to me the shit.

Show me. Okay, who's the front office, though? Is it Jenny or is it Rob? Who is it? They all include. It's all inclusive. You know who it is. You know who it is. I just had to think about it. I can see why. I can see why.

We got to dive into this. Who's the general manager? Rob. Who is his client? Yeah. Kobe Bryant. Mm-hmm. That's like having Rashad in the office.

Mm-hmm. Ain't no damn way he gonna have LeBron win an extra championship. On a goddamn chance. You want KD? Cool. I got your bobo. What you think Kobe last take was? Don't you let that motherfucker win.

Bet not, Rob, I'm on your ass every morning. It's like every move he make in the summer, it's like, hey, goddamn it, you need to retire. I ain't letting you get the number five. Won't get the five on my watch, mother. Not on my watch. Not on this time. See you. Not today.

Yeah, it is the front office, man. What is his expertise? None. None. None. He's just an agent. He had access to the players. You know what?

The player. Yeah, the player. He had access to the player. Player. When the play happened, when he got hired, I'm pretty sure 99.9 of us was like kobe's he supposed to bring kobe he was a high i think that was the the kobe didn't want to go in he didn't want it because magic stepped down i think i know what i'm saying is i think that was

i think that was the the ultimate plan Kalinka and then Cole finally takes over. Yep, that was. And then he's like the head honcho over there. Because there's no way you're an agent and you've been calculating numbers all year. Now you're smart enough to know what actual talent is. Yeah. I mean, you have a numbers cruncher and then you have someone who looks at talent. That's two different people.

He went and got Gabe Vincent and Kendrick Nine. So just throw it out there. What other clients did Rob Palenka have? What other ones did he need? I'm just asking. Did he just have Colby? Hold on. No, no, no.

He was one of the top. He was one of the top. So he had multiple, I I'm saying some of the other names I mean, I don't know I don't know. I did he did he did Yeah, Harden James Harden. Yeah, okay, Derek Williams Andre Drummond, buddy Hill. Yeah, he has some guy Iggy Iggy, yep So cold was the main cold was his and just the only one Yeah, that one That Jerry Maguire did you? Get him a ride to you. Well, no, he was somebody else's agent, too

I'm just thinking like what do you see on there? Shot it's not you on your phone. Is that man? Yes, okay Google is there all the people you can you got to Google this to know that. This has represented many basketball players. Kobe Bryant. Kevin Durant. LeBron James. Kevin Durant.

Derrick Williams. Deion Waiter. So what my point I'm making is, it doesn't take, listen, it doesn't. Oh, Statman's one of the ones? Right here, bro. It doesn't take. The link to represent his stuff. It doesn't take for you to know

Basketball to know that the guys that you guys are naming are really good. Yep, right? It don't take much to know that To you didn't have to represent those guys. You didn't have to write you have to do shit You don't have to do she had to be an agent to them not for their facts, right? They didn't have to represent those guys. You didn't have to... Right, you didn't have to do shit. You didn't have to do shit. You didn't have to be an agent to them. Not for them. Facts. Facts. They didn't need you, to be honest.

They could have took the Ray Allen approach. Facts. For those that don't know, Ray Allen represented himself. Oh, wow. Tracy McGrady? Just had a lawyer. Just had a lawyer go to the contract. That's why they picked Rob, because he got all the access to all the guys.

Gil, you also represented yourself as well, right? He can convince them to come to LA. Some good guys. So think about when they lose access to all the guys. He can convince them to come to LA. Some good guys. So think about when they lose access to those guys due to the fact that they all changed agents. His access is like a facade. So it's like, your resume say you got access to these guys, but these dudes don't fuck with you like that.

So it goes the same way, right? To your point, absolutely. But it goes the same way. Just take Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson was a great coach. Doesn't necessarily mean it's going to transition to you being a good GM or a good president. It doesn't translate. No. Steve agrees. Right? He did a terrible job in New York. No good at it for Phil Jackson's time with the Knicks.

No, no. Terrible job in New York as calling the shots, right? No good at it for Phil Jackson's time with the Knicks. No, no, terrible job in New York as calling the shots, right? And so it goes the same thing for other aspects of this. Like, just because you were a good agent and you were able to recognize the Kevin Durants, the Kobe Bryants,

these big-time names, it doesn't take much to walk in the gym and realize that's the best player there. I would like to represent that good player. Absolutely. It doesn't take much. Who's available? Number one player in the country. realize that's the best player there. I would like to represent that good player. Absolutely. It doesn't take much.

Who's available. Number one player in the country. Got him. Let's go see him. Who is his parent? Where are his parents? It doesn't take much. But to transition that into a front office gig

and you have to put a team together, that's a different skill set. So it doesn't necessarily translate into every case. Some guys can do it. Or some guys have help. Like Leon Rose has help over there. He was an agent for a long time. He has help. You're talking about Bob Myers too, agent before winning four titles with the Warriors. But you have help over there so you know you put these collective minds together and it works. But when you've been, not to say Jenny don't know what she's

doing, but when it's been handed down to you, you are handicapped to a certain degree from the work that your father did to put this thing together to win all these championships. So, you need help. How long she had it?

So you need to put basketball people that knows what they're doing in position to help you make these decisions. And I don't think they've done that. I love Magic Johnson to death. As a player, as a businessman. To be in the front office, picking talent, I don't know if that's Magic Strong's suit. Magic probably need to hire somebody. He need to hire somebody.

He did get the AD trade. It was. It was. Yes, but it's short-lived. Yeah, that's fair. Short-lived in the front office. So you don't know the extent of that job until you get it and realize

it's not my wheelhouse. I'm not, I shouldn't be like, I wanted this job, but this job, I was good at this part of the game. Yeah. Not this. So I think that's what they've been running into lately. How long she had the team? She's been running the team since the pops.

And it's relationships. Hold on. team since... And it's relationships. Hold on. And it's relationships, right? People probably just... People probably don't want to deal with dude, right? Y'all don't know that? His relationships with other GMs or other league...

Rob Palenka. He can't be that good. That's what I'm saying. So you dealing with other people around the league, you build relationships over the years because you had other people to represent, right? You've probably left a bad taste in business doing business with other teams, trying to force other teams' hands to sign your guy, to bring this guy in,

to give your guy this, and you left a bad taste in some of these teams. Now they don't want to do business with you. Now you're in a position to do business. Now they want to do business with you. It could be that. It could. It's a multiple. Whatever it is, the legacy of front office ain't been getting it done from free agency, trade deadlines, and et cetera.

Just looking at his list, he's not a talent finder. He can't see talent. All of these names that he has weren't his original guys. He signed them after the fact, right? Arum Tellem was Kobe. So Arum Tellem spotted the Kobe Bryant. He gets a Kobe wins, Kobe's Kobe, right? Same thing with Durant. Durant started with another agent. Hey, how you doing?

You unhappy? You unhappy? I got you. That guy. How long was he an agent? Huh? Let me see. Rob, how long was he an agent?

I don't know. But I know Kevin Durant started with Aaron Goodwin. Yeah. Right? So all these guys start. So someone else found him. You're just collecting. So you're not the seeker.

You're not going to the gyms. You don't have anybody running to see the gyms that's coming out. You're just getting the high-level guys. I gave him too much credit, dude. Yeah, you're getting too much credit. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, because it ain't on him. Around like 2000-ish, I think he started becoming an agent.

He became an agent in 2000? So he got his license in 96, I think, to practice law. Who was his first client? So, he was working underneath Arn Tellem. Oh, there you go. Wow. There you go. Wow. Stole Kobe from him. There you go. Right there.

Missing the context, man. He must have been. Yeah, I was missing the context. We was. We probably was missing it, but there you go. There you go. There you go. Right there. That's the elephant. Wow. 2000. That missing the content. We was. We probably was missing it, but there it go. There it go. There it go right there. That's the elephant. Wow. 2000. That's the elephant. Because that's the one who, he's talking, he's the one who's dealing with it.

Came underneath arm, then left to go start the landmark sports agency. I bet he did. First client. Uh, guess who did that? Guess who followed that blueprint? Oh, a lot of them. One guy, specifically. Mm. Because he's the agent of the greatest of all time. Who did follow that blueprint? A lot of them. One guy, specifically. Mm-mm-mm-mm.

Because he's the agent that's the greatest of all time. Oh. Yeah. David Falk? Who was under David Falk? Rich. Rich Falk was starting. Yeah, Starseed, I think, branched off.

Did the same thing. His first client was what? Bledsoe. Yeah, Eric. But he got Bledsoe. He got him from. Learned the game with him. Bledsoe? Yeah, Eric. But he got him from... Learned the game in there. Bledsoe and Kobe, that's...

Your first client is Kobe. You can get anybody after that. No, but realistically, his first client would have been Brian. Who? Rich. His first client would have been Brian. But he started with Bled

because he needed to show them that he could do It like you brought I'm gonna come on board He wasn't trying to be an agent because he had blood so was Blood so was fucking with him so much. He's I mean you do all this, you know how it is, right? You're Asian to Asian then you got the person that you talk to every motherfucking day and this motherfucker I'm gonna go get you this I'm gonna get you that ba ba ba and you got the person that you talk to every motherfucking day. And this motherfucker, oh, I'm going to go get you this, I'm going to get you that, blah, blah, blah. And you're like, what the fuck do I need him for? Why don't you just be my agent?

And that's how the Bledsoe thing started. And he's like, what do you mean be an agent? That's how the fucking pop, rock, polinkas shit. Hey, what you got? What you need? It ain't happening. Because I started with Dan Fagan. And I didn't never see Dan.

Right? And the guy who I saw every day was Brian. Brian. Right. And I didn't never see Dan. Right? Mm-hmm. And the guy who I saw every day was Brian. Brian. Right? Brian was like, shit, you want to start? They separated. I'm like, I don't know him.

I don't know him. Right? He's a great agent. Mm-hmm. But I don't know dude. Right? I'm going to go with the guy who I got the relationship with. Yeah. They don't be understanding that.

Yeah. Like, I got the relationship with him. This guy drove me around when I couldn't drive. You know why they don't understand? They don't care. They're like, I'll get another one of you. No, they just don't understand. The relationship, bro. The NBA player is isolated.

Yeah. So you got the runner, like, talking to me every day. He's hearing my problems. Right? Same thing when I got drafted. Yes. I didn't talk to dan the whole first year yeah like my dad is like yo you're gonna talk to the agent i ain't got no agent man my the agent in here motherfucker three in the morning working he ain't doing that no i won't talk to him now we'll talk when when when it's when we come to contract year and we're gonna see to see what he can do. I'm doing what I'm going to do. Let me see what he can do.

God rest that man's soul, but yeah, I never saw that. That's why I went to myself. Like, I don't need you at this point. I know how to say Max. I don't need it. Whatever language you're going to say, Max. That sounds pretty easy. Hey, how you doing?

Max. What the fuck, I'm paying 4% to say that? Don't have the same agent. Max. We started with the same agent. We started with the same agent. All right, well, let's keep it moving forward. So as I mentioned earlier,

Brownie played career-high 15 minutes in the game, seeing some rotational minutes, including time in the first quarter. After the game, J.J. Redick and LeBron had this to say about Bronny seeing extended minutes for the first time in his NBA career. Just felt like on a back-to-back, just him giving us energy, I think, was the goal. You know, maybe put him in a tough spot, you know, flying up yesterday and, you know, nationally televised game in Philly, all that stuff. It's, you know, he didn't play well, but he's been playing great,

you know, in the stay ready games and he's been playing great in the G. So I have confidence in him, but obviously didn't provide that at a high level. It's just about him just getting more and more comfortable. Obviously, it's his first extensive minutes with us. We had that first game where it was just a moment, and that was a great moment, but tonight was his first opportunity to be with the big guys, with the big club, and he's going to continue to use that. He's getting better and better. It's just like his first time when he played with the big guys, with the big club. And, you know, he's going to continue to use that. I mean, getting better and better is just like his first time

when he played with the G League. There's more and more opportunities you get. Hopefully he does get more opportunities, but that's obviously out of his hands. What he can't control is how he continues to work on his game and get better and better, which we've seen him do from the moment he entered that Minnesota game to today. You guys are done.

So, Cemetery Larry, after seeing the JJ Reddit clip, you offered this response on Twitter. What with... Facts. Several question marks. But I'll leave it to the couch. How did Brownie look in his first extended NBA game action? Kenny, I saw you shaking your head with even JJ's decision,

fly him up, put him in a prime time game. Y'all want me to go first? Uh-huh. When he was talking, I looked over at Sher. I said, did he just say maybe? Like, maybe. JJ Redick. JJ Redick used the word maybe when he said

he put him in a tough spot. Yeah. Like, no, JJ. You put him in a horrible, horrible situation, a horrible spot. And then to piggyback on that, that he didn't play well, come out of your mouth? Like, that's horrible, man.

Like, you're a piece of shit for that. Like, you don't say, no, there's no... No. He's the 55th pick. Let's act like it. You put him in a situation y'all flew him into Philadelphia to come play on the back-to-back. Y'all put him out there to try

to have to guard Tyrese Maxey in this tough situation. Y'all did that to him. So this is on you. Or if you're being forced to play to him, this is on whoever told you to put him in. If they did, you and your coaching staff and y'all meeting, deciding or whoever made the decision to put this kid in the game and put him in this situation, it's on you, not on

him at all. Like we said time and time again and there should be no expectations Coming from Bronny James whatsoever You put him in a tough spot. I Didn't know he dealt with his 13th game playing last night. He had played 12 other NBA game with the Lakers 12 other games prior to that. 70 seconds? One minute?

Yeah, but they're putting him in, but he's gotten in, right? Whatever the time has been. Hasn't played more than five minutes in any of the previous games. 44 total minutes. 44 total minutes, right, of NBA action, including last night or before last night? Including last night. Including last night. 29 total coming into last night, 15 minutes in that game, which

was his career high to this point. That statement, and you look at the stats, that it's like, you don't do that to that kid. To come on national television and press conference. You take that hit for him.

I put him in a tough spot. Yeah. To give us energy. I put him in a tough spot. That's your responsibility. Flew him up here. I flew him in and threw him in an NBA game. And then to say he didn't play well.

Because he played well, but he was playing well. He was playing well and would leave him where he is then. You disrupted that to fuck up his confidence even more. Now he got to go back down there and reflect on how he played like shit in 15 minutes against an all-world point guard. He ain't even

had a chance to duplicate. Who on your team can play like Tyra? He's maxi that you supposed to be like I can do this tonight. No, this is just for me out This kid flew in there's no Case scenario he owned that flight Ain't no way he thinking about getting in no game Off the plane Playing TV though off the plane. He ain't from a trade

This ain't off a trade and you would star for star and I'm playing tonight when I land he not thinking about basket Right he's gonna start tonight I stop You gonna start tonight. It's that shit, man. Little shot back. Motherfucker ain't playing. Like, it's that shit Rashad talking about right now. Motherfucker got 17 straight DNPs

and then you want a motherfucker to start a motherfucker and think he gonna go out there and produce. Man. That's the same shit. Like, you don't put him in that situation, man.

At all. Not in the first quarter. The game got out of hand. Then you put him in a situation man at all not not in the first quarter game got out of hand Then you put him in Yeah, let him get him. Let him give you put him in. Yeah, but No pressure what game has he got in whatever the score whatever you put him in like you put him in these situations man Like let's stop it man Then down as teammate and unfortunately his dad got to go fucking defend him.

Because you put him in this spot. He made his decision. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Because you put him in this situation. Yeah.

If his dad said what he was really feeling and thinking, now he an asshole. Yeah. Because I guarantee the thought is, man, no, you put him in that situation, dog. My question is, who said he had a bad game? Where is the bad game coming from? The words came out of his mouth. Because he missed. Three turnovers, one foul, no points.

Because he missed shots? Yeah, that's. Three turnovers, one foul, no points, no rebounds. Yes. Was Maxie burning by him? one foul no points. No rebounds. Yes was maxi burning by him Yeah one time No was the shot he taken bad. He missed good shots. There's probably only one Questionable shot on my eye when he was on a fast break and he tried to euro and he got blocked Yeah, other than that every shot was a good shot. He just threw a... So it's not like he was out there

playing bad basketball. He played decent or good basketball, just missed shots. Did Christie make up... Was Christie playing bad? He was one for motherfucking six? Yeah. No, right?

But his coach said it. Yeah, that's what I mean. But that's what I'm saying. Did Finney, who's a veteran, did he play bad one for six? Playing 19 minutes? No. It's part of basketball. If you're judging me off of my motherfucking missed shots,

then every day point out everybody who plays motherfucking bad. But just because I missed wide open shots, I didn't force anything. I took the shot. I was wide open I didn't make it right. This is the first time that I played against an all-star High level all-star usually I'm playing against the motherfucker that was drafted with me second round 53 pink 54 pink we both motherfucking confused. That's what I'm used to playing. You threw me in at the beginning of the game. Shit, okay, I'm a little nervous.

I'm nervous. I didn't score my first basket till February. I didn't think I was going to play tonight. But why do that to him? Yeah, that's my point. I didn't think I was going to play tonight. Why put him in that situation? Of course, of course.

Off the plane? Like the fact that even if you told him, I'm 50-50% that you told him, you might have just called that motherfucker number. Just, hey, right. What? Right? Even if you told me I'm gonna put you in in the first half,

you done fucked me up already. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like in the middle of the game, oh shit, oh. I got my right shoes on, I got my tights on. Like that's nerve wracking because this is meaningful minutes. Do I got my right shoes on? Do I got my tights on? That's nerve-wracking because this is meaningful minutes. Right? This is meaningful minutes.

Like, this is new to everyone. And you called me a zero still in the game. Like, I mean, we know who. Rob over in Dillingham. Now, that's a motherfucking beast right there. Right? You put him in the game. He struggle early because it's new to him.

Right? You play somebody one minute here, 30 seconds here, two minutes here, next, you know, see you in February. Like, when it starts even and now when he starts understanding, okay, I'm good. The nerves kick out. Then we can see what he has. But you watch him play he looks good and get to his spot it's just saying it's just saying it's just saying hitting yet just like it took some time in a G League you need playing time you need a consistent balance of knowing when to go in right this is basketball we've been there

before that's what I said I just want my first basket till February dog February I didn't get my first 16 minutes, and that was my next 16 minutes to mid-February. When he started giving me guaranteed five, I know I'm going to get in. Eventually, my confidence, you know, I ain't got to rush.

I can take my time. So, do you think he's ready to play in the NBA? We don't know who's ready until you put him out there so we can watch him. Hey, Cheryl. We got to watch him. Ask him again.

He's going to avoid the question. You have to reiterate it. Did Sar look ready when he first started this evening? Hey, Cheryl, ask it again. He's running from you. You have to ask him the question clear, simple. It was clear. No, not for him.

You see, he's on his phone. Look, ask him again. One more clear. No, not for him. You see he's on his phone. Look, ask him again. One more time. Gilbert, do you think Bronny James is ready for the NBA? No one's ready for the NBA until they get there. That doesn't answer the question. He's there. What I'm saying is the number one pick, was he ready?

What I'm saying is the number one, the number two pick, were they ready? What did the number one pick say? Hey, I'm going to put the clock on. Let me play more athletic. I'm going to put the clock on. Let me put the clock on. Let me put the clock on. He is not going to answer this question.

Wait, hold on. We're going to press. You're going to be able to do whatever you want to do. What did the number one pick in the draft say? Zachary Richarcher said I was athletic in France. Sure, you know I do that French. I was athletic in France. Over here, know I do that French. I was athletic in France. Over here, I'm just kind of more average.

Right? So he had to adjust. Right? He had to, like the number two pick, he came off the bench at the beginning. He had to adjust. Everyone has to adjust. Is he ready? We don't know.

He hasn't got the opportunity. We didn't think he was ready for the G League until the the motherfucker start averages 17 and then everybody don't want to say nothing It's dog. We were really is don't connect ready for the NBA Is he do you want to look up his numbers? He's had 24 last night. What did he have the night before? I don't know I remember that cuz I could go I could go off the night before we go Cheryl ask him again He's also 20. I'll ask them again The clock is up filled with this to 45 seconds

and counting oh my gosh Connect averaging nine points. He's having what ten points three rebounds one assist in 21 minutes per game this 21 minutes of game. He's doing what? 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist. Okay, now, you know what? We're going to pretend this is yesterday. Leave him with the G-league. No, no, no.

He said, what did he say about Konek yesterday? Right? No, today. He said what? What did he say? He looked ready today, right? Okay, let's go to the game. He looked ready from the moment he got in the game. Let's go back to the game before when he had to.

See, this is what you like to do. Let's go to the game before when he played 21 minutes, had two points. You should have asked me then, so I could have said no. He averaged a 10. No, he don't look ready. A 22-year-old averaging two points. He don't look ready. It's easy to do that. He's averaging 10 points a game.

Where was the energy before last night? 10 points a game. Where was this energy before last night? He's not averaging.3. He's not averaging.3. Where was it? He's averaging 10 points a game. That means any game he can average, he can score 10.

Any game, he can score at least 10. Well, he didn't score that much before we least 10. How much time is on the clock? Two minutes on the clock. Ask him again, Cheryl. Ask him one more time, Cheryl. He's trying to change the goal post, Cheryl. He's moving the goal post. You see him moving it. He went

from answering your question to arguing with me. You're going to get your minutes, and I'm not going to interrupt you at all. You said he's ready, right? don't connect. Yes. Don't connect is ready to play in the NBA He is 23 years old and he averages how many minutes? 21 minutes 21 minutes and I see a score of two points here three points here two two five zero How many points does he have four seven zero two five six six two six six seven 2, 2, 5, 0, 6, 4, 7, 0, 2, 5, 6, 6, 2, 6, 6, 7, 9, 5, 2, 3, 5, 5, 0, 8, 5. So what I'm saying is.

Where are the numbers? Where are the good numbers at? What I'm saying is. Where are the good numbers at? What I'm saying is. Those are not 10 points a game number. He had a 37 piece a while back. I'm just saying.

He had a 37 piece and a 24 back. I'm just saying. He had a 37-piece and a 24-piece, which helps him get the 10. What I'm saying is if the 23-year-old is ready and these are the outputs that he has during the season, how come you can't let other people have those moments? He's getting a guarantee. He knows when he's coming in again. He played 21 minutes and still had two points. He knew he was getting in. He's getting a guarantee. He knows when he's coming in again. He played 21 minutes and still had two points. He knew he was getting

in. The motherfucker still had two. No one's talking shit. No one's ready to come up here and blast him on his first experience of 15 minutes. There's no way you get triggered this badly off of one simple question. One simple question to ask. If

Bronny James ready, you went into a whole trigger mode. Because I'm ready. Now you can go. Well, but... No, no, I'm ready for him to go. I got nothing. I want her to ask the question. Well, my other question, though,

is more for JJ, right, or whoever that's saying, no, we're going to bring him up, he's going to play 15 minutes. Like, what are your expectations of Bronny when you're bringing him up?'s gonna play 15 minutes like what what are your expectations of brawny when you're bringing him up he just got off a plane and like i think i think your expectations of him aren't very realistic no one's expectation of him is realistic but but to go on and say that he didn't play well that's an expectation there's an expectation for you to go for you to go in there and say they didn't play well? That's an expectation. There's an expectation.

For you to go in your press conference and say, not you, Gil. For him. For J.J. Redd to go in his press conference and the words to come out of his mouth to say that he didn't play well, that means you came into that game with him with expectations of this is what he's going to give me tonight.

I haven't heard him say anybody else played well. Other than energy. Didn't play well. I ain't never heard him say such and such didn't play well tonight. Well, I feel like J.J. has called other people out throughout the season. You had to pull it up for me. I'll find it, but I feel like he's... Not the right person, at least.

Yeah, he's... So, right, like when I hear him say that, my first thought is, oh, okay. You brought him up for a reason, obviously. You put him in the game early with expectations of, here's what he's going to give me. Whether that was

being a defender, or you're going to stop Maxie, you're going to... Whatever. Clearly, he didn't do what JJ wanted him to do for him to say he didn't play well. Yeah, it was something. And I'm not going off of him being 0 for 3. Not at all.

It ain't got shit to do with that. I'm just... The words that came out this man's mouth is what I'm using. So, if I'm a reporter, in the room, I would have said... So, yeah. So, what were you expecting out of him tonight? Since he didn't play well But but this is why I'm saying reality JJ was a lottery pick right and this is why I say reality is not reality

You can you say he's not playing well now a lottery pick You didn't get he didn't get in the game until, what, game 13. His first game was 14. He played three minutes. Then he didn't play a game for another five. JJ Reddy. Like, you know how the NBA is, so you know playing bad or not playing bad

is not dictated on if you're making shots when you just get in the game. Gil, I understand that. That's why I'm not saying he didn't play well because he was 0 for 3. My question is JJ, as his coach, and as someone who played the game, I never thought JJ was very good. But anyway. But my point is, for you to go on there and say, yep, he didn't play well, I probably

put him in a bad spot. You did all those things. What were you expecting from him to say he didn't play well? That's what I'm saying. Tell us, riddle me that shit. Everybody misses shots. For every person that misses shots, you can't... Our coaches say, well, he or she didn't play well because they missed shots.

We all miss shots. So what was it? Why are you or she didn't play well because they missed shots. We all missed shots. So what was it? Why are you saying he didn't play well? That was the question. I'm looking at his defense. You watch all his plays. Every shot looked great. He only had one questionable shot.

He had a few turnovers, no different than everybody else. It's a decent game. He just didn't score the ball. That's not considered a bad game. We are, as an offensive player, you know, right? It's not considered a bad game. We are, as an offensive player, you know, right? It's not considered a bad game. Was it your shot? Was this your shot?

If it was your shot, it looked good? That's a good shot. Every shot was my shot. Every shot I shot, I thought it was going in. Three for 23. But if you hear your coach saying that, you only get in 10 minutes. Mentally, psychologically, what does that do to you? You gotta get at least a layup

or a free throw. What? What'd you say? I'm saying 0 for 3. 0 for 3 with 10 minutes played. It's a bad game. To who? To me. To me? Are you getting

a guaranteed 10 minutes every game? It don't matter. It does. I play 10 minutes. I get minutes. I need to take the best of those minutes. Those minutes, 0 for 3, three turnovers, one foul. I played bad tonight.

Says who? Says me. That's you. What? Because you missed your shots. Your coach ain't got the right to come out and say you played bad, though. Yes, he does. No, wait.

Okay, the goal. Did you miss it? Did you miss it? Everybody on that team had a negative plus minus. Everybody on the team had a negative plus minus. Browning had a negative eight plus minus. So in that regard, when you look at who you should look at and say, man, I gave him an opportunity, he didn't

play well tonight, he could say that about everybody on the roster. But you asked me a question about this kid. He didn't play well tonight. Says who? The fucking numbers. What numbers? So, if he played 21 minutes and didn't shoot the ball, did he

have a good game? If was a fifth, we'd be drunk as fuck. I'm asking you a question. If he didn't shoot the ball, is that a good game? Yes, it's a good game because he doesn't go 0 for 3. Why do you still have this timer on? Because he doesn't go 0 for 3. Why do you have the timer on? He doesn't go 0 for 3, right?

But you still have three turnovers. Are turnovers good or bad when you're in the game It depends on what you're trying to do with it. Does it help your plus or minus turnovers are bad? Does it does it help your does it help your plus or minus does it help turnovers are not bad sure? Why are you getting them? Are you getting ripped? Are you trying to make that all turn over? How are you getting these turn over all turnovers are not equal? Turnovers are not good in basketball. No, what I'm all turnovers are not equal turnovers are not good in basketball No, what a turn on all turnovers are not created equal. What is it? Turnover me? What does it turn over me?

I'm giving up If I'm trying to give them I'm trying to make him I'm willing to break us a three on two. Oh, no, not even that I make a good pass, right? Mm-hmm You tip it on the defense. It goes off of his hands and goes out of bounds. That's a turnover. On him. Right? I'm trying to get him a layup.

Uh-huh. Is that a... It's a bad pass. The ball went out of bounds. No, it's a good pass. She got her hand on it. She played good defense. That was a bad pass.

How? But it's out on you. Because she got her hand on it. It could be out on you. If you keep the ball, she don't touch it. You just go ahead and dunk it. I mean, it's 3-0-2. But you touched it. It's out of her. You touched it, so it's out on you. Because she got her hand on it. It could be out on you. If you keep the ball, she don't touch it. You just go ahead and dunk it. I mean.

Three on two. But you touched it. Turn over. You touched it, so it's out on you. But it's. Eden said I passed it, and she hit it. I passed it, and it touched your hand. She tipped it, and it went off your fingertip.

What is it called? It's a dead ball turn over. It's called a turn over. On you. What is it called? On you. So you know what I think is bad turn over? Live ball turn overs.

The ball went out of bounds. Dead ball turn over. They got to take it out. We get to set our defense. Yep. It's not the turnovers? Live ball turnovers. The ball went out of bounds, dead ball turnovers. They got to take it out. We get to set our defense. Yeah. It's not the same as a live ball turnover. You go in there and motherfucking get a windmill dunk. Well, we lose a whole possession.

I agree with that. A turnover, we lose a whole possession. Yes. That's a bad for us. But all turnovers are not created equal. But turnovers are not good. They're not good. Regardless, they're not good.

Turnover. But there's aggressive turnovers. There's passive turnovers. Like. Regardless, they're not good. Turnovers. There's aggressive turnovers. There's passive turnovers. Like I said, like, he just tried to make a pass. So, Jason, you tipped it. He hits it last. So, I got a question. He hits a turnover.

That's an unforced turnover. That's an unforced turnover. So, I got a question. That's an unforced turnover. So, sure, I got a question. I played with a guy who led the league in assists. And turnovers. And turnovers.

Well, take care of the ball better. Yes. He had... Huh? Take care of the ball. Hey! What do you mean? He would have had way more assists if he had taken care of the ball a little bit more.

So Jason Kidd... What? So Jason Kidd... Just because he had turnovers, it doesn't mean he's not a good point guard. Take care of the ball better. Well, take care of the ball better. Yes. You are the point guard.

So you want him to have low turnover. So you want him to manipulate the game. I do want him to have low turnover. That's the game. So you want him to play like Chris Paul? I like Chris Paul's game. You do? I do.

I didn't say he's a bad point guard. No, I'm just saying. I love you, Cheryl. I love you, Cheryl. No, you don't. Stand on your point guards. Two, Cheryl. Chris Paul is one of the best. Stand on your two. Sure, you'll score, right? Sure, you'll Cheryl. I love you, Cheryl. No, you don't. Chris Paul is one of the best fucking dudes, Cheryl. Chris Paul is one of the best.

Stand on your two. Sure, you'll score, right? Sure, you'll score, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Does rhythm mean anything to you? Does rhythm? Rhythm. Yeah.

So you want to, so would you rather your point guard come off this pick and roll, see you open, but, ah, I'm going to come off this motherfucker again. Oh. But until he can get the assist. When you see me open, give me a drop. No, but you want the ball when you open, right? But. But you want the ball when you open, right? I do, but. You want the ball when you open, right?

Of course. Okay. Because I'm going to do some good things with it. Okay. But at the same time. But what if you're. But the point guard might see something defensively that I don't see. No.

What you mean no? What's the no from? You can't say no to close the argument. So what is the no? Do you think Chris Paul manipulates the game of basketball? No. Do I think Chris Paul does?

It wasn't to me. I didn't ask you. It wasn't to me. I wasn't fucking talking. At times. At times? I do, at times. Really?

At times? Mm-hmm. How about all the time? I don, at times. Really? At times? Mm-hmm. How about all the time? I don't think he does all the time. Because you know what it's going to be with Chris Paul? You know what it's going to be, every possession. Are you asking me if I know what it's going to be? Every possession, you know what it's going to be.

No. Right? No. He's going to get the assist, or he's going to get the shot. Or he's going to get the turnover. Or he's going to get the assist or he's gonna get the shot. Or he's gonna get the turnover. Or he's gonna get the turnover. No, he's not.

Yes, he will. Low assist. Yes, he does. Chris Paul has more... You said low assist. I know. I mean, high assist, maybe one turnover, two best. How many turnovers has he averaged in this year?

No, career. You can go with his career. Okay. Career this year. Yes. You can go with his career. Right? Yeah. Very seldom with Chris Paul do you get a swing-swing. You know what that is, right? Mm-hmm. Very seldom.

I ain't saying it never happens. He's gonna throw the ball so you can shoot it. Or he's gonna get the shot. I don't saying it never happens. He's gonna throw the ball so you can shoot it. Or he's gonna get the shot. I don't know. I played with him. David West, Thor Yakovich, swing, swing. No. David West is shooting that motherfucker at the free throw line, brother.

Not if we full rotating. Ain't nobody full rotating. We always had to on David West. That's your team. Yeah. That's your team. I'm just saying. We played him.

Not a chance. So that's your team. We switched it. But see... So it's three for twelve. But you... Is three for twelve a good game? You're going back to Bronnie being over three. Three for twelve a plus game, but you was plus three. Wait, wait, wait. No, is that a good game? Three for twelve... What else did you do?

Three for twelve, uh, one turnover, one block, one steal, one assist, one rebound. That's a good game to me. Play 21 minutes. It's a good game. Three for 12. Nine shots.

Missed nine shots. Missed nine shots. Had one rebound, one assist, one steal, one block. Total six points, plus three for the game. That's not a bad game to me. Okay. Nobody wants to hear it to me. So, missing nine To me. Okay. Nobody wants to hear it to me. No one wants to hear it to me.

You got to tell them some other shit because when you say to me it stops the conversation. But what I'm saying is what makes that a good game? Well, I didn't say Bronny had a good game. No, I'm just saying what makes this a good game? Well, I'm not just looking at how many shots did you make. Exactly. I'm looking at what else did a good game? Well, I'm not just looking at how many shots did you make.

I'm looking at what else did you contribute to the game. Exactly. And the part that, to me, the part that the stat sheet doesn't show is on the defensive end. Yeah, it'll show steals and things like that, but also how aggressive are you? Are you just getting a hand on the ball? Are you being aggressive on defense? Are you making your opponent defense? Are you making your

opponent, the player you're defending, are you making him or her do different things with the basketball? Hold on. I got to tell this boy here, hey, you full of shit too. I just want you to know that. Facts. Because this motherfucker play basketball the right way. He don't forget I fucking played on the team with him, man. I coached this motherfucker. Do I got to take a shit or something? What's going on?

I'm full of shit. Why? What are you talking about? Because this motherfucker played basketball the right way. When I said about the pass shit, give me a better pass, you full of shit. You just going to be on the fast break? That's a three on two.

Right? I said, is she shit? So she not not play good defense? Yeah, that's a bad pass. How? How?

Because it's a three on two. She guessed right. No, no, you passed wrong. No. You passed to the wrong person. She didn't passed wrong. You passed to the wrong purpose. She didn't guess right.

You passed to the wrong purpose. No, no, no. Three on two. No, I ain't going to let you rule this. Three on two. Fast break. We used to do this in practice. Listen to what I'm saying. I keep the ball until he stops me.

When he stops me, the back guy got to make a decision and anticipate where I play. Now, I can make it. That's me playing good defense. And I got to make the right pass. I got to make the right, I always make the right pass. It was very rarely that he could touch the ball. Because I got to make the right pass. Going to the lob at the rim, is that not the right pass?

He's, he's, you're, and you get your hand on him. And they go off the mind, right? It's the't he's the artist and you get your hand on it and they go off my right No, how is it different? No, I said it's good defense. Oh y'all Listen what he said he's full of shit King you If you hit the ball is full of I made a bad pass because we have an advantage. We have three players against two. My coach always said if the defense get their hand on the

ball, y'all made the wrong play. You have an advantage. That was not his example. His example was he's making the pass. She tips it. You touch it last. Is it a turnover? On you. It is. Is it a turnover? On you. I don't give a fuck who it is last is it a turnover on you it is Think about what I just said because he's talking he doesn't understand the concept. Okay. He is the point guard.

He's coming down. He's making the pass to Rashad. I tip him. You tip him. It goes out on him. Yeah. He gets this turnover. Yes. Not him.

We know. Gilbert is basketball. How does he? It's a turnover, period, for the team. Not turnovers. How? He said, how does he deserve a turnover for your good defense? He didn't do nothing.

This was his play. This was his play to make. You tipped it. It went out on him, but he got an unforced turnover. Now you're reading. When I say it again? When I say it again? Unforced turnover.

Now he did the turnover. So there's an unforced turnover and a forced turnover. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. He gets forced. Yes, he gets forced. Now, unforced. There's two different.

Guess what? Both of them are. That's his personal turnover. Guess what? Both of them are. I understand how it happened. But he gets a turnover. It doesn't say unforced.

It says turnover. All right, let's for. Turnover. Let's bring it back in. Let's bring it back in. You know what also is a turnover? When the shot, at the end of the game. Shot clock. No, at the end of the game, when the clock running down and the team that's winning, and there's still time on that motherfucker, and they go in the shot clock,

and they got to get it. That's also a fucking turnover. Yes, it is. So, therefore, like I said, not all turnovers are the same. But are they all turnovers? So, is that a bad turnover? Are all turnovers turnovers? Hold on, God damn it.

Is that a bad turnover? Because you said all turnovers. Because in your words, all turnovers are bad. They are. So, is that a bad turnover? It's a turnover. I know, I know. You're talking about when the game is over.

It doesn't matter. It's on your session. It's on your session. Because the game is over. It doesn't matter. You said this answer opposite of whatever he wants you to say.

Say the other fucking thing. Your words. You said all turnovers are bad. Yeah. To me, it's a turnover. So the example that I gave you, is that a bad turnover? It's the end of the game.

So that turnover doesn't matter. But it does. It's on your stat sheet. It is on the stat sheet. Unless you're looking at the game board. No, listen. It's on the stat sheet, but it's not. So is that a bad turnover?

It's on the stat sheet, but it's not going to affect the outcome of the game. Because the game is over. Thank you, Cheryl. Because the game is over. Thank you, Cheryl. We're not looking at the game. We're looking at the stat. They're going off the stats.

They're like, oh, she had three turnovers. It's a turnover, though. It is. What I'm saying is, if we ask him, and I said not all turnovers are the same. No, because he didn't watch. How did Bryony get his three turnovers? How did Bryony get his three turnovers?

Ice cream. I just want to know. The ice cream man is coming. I don't know. I didn't watch the game. No, just want to know. The ice cream man is coming! I don't know. I ain't watched the game. No. I don't know. No.

The ice cream man is coming! No. No, no. Let him. No. I need somebody! I'm going to ask you a question. No, we got to let him finish.

He can finish, but I mean, can you let him finish? Let him start your time. His three turnovers. I don't know. How did... Exactly. So, what you just said, said is irrelevant to people like him. You said this turnover at the end of the game don't count towards the total.

He just watches the turnover. He just wants to see the turnover. He doesn't know how the turnover happened. He's just looking at the turnover, right? In the shot clock when you don't get it off because you don't want to get that. All of that. He's just looking at the turnover, right? In the shot clock, when you don't get it off, because you don't want to get that... all of that. He don't want... He's not watching. How many turnovers...

Let me tell you how much I watch, right? There's a guy named LeBron James who had eight turnovers last night. Yeah. Eight. And how... Eight. How did he get them? Eight. Not three. Not three. He had eight. He almost had a... a group of trouble with turnovers. And this is why... How did he get them? Eight. Not three. Not three. He had eight.

He almost had a quadruple double with turnovers. And now we're going to go through LeBron's whole game and say, oh, that wasn't really a turnover. That wasn't really a turnover either. But somehow it ended up in the fucking stat book as what? Turnovers. Turnovers. And this is the same man.

Oh, it rolled off my foot. Guess what that is? same man. Oh, it rolled off my foot. Guess what that is? A turnover! Oh, shit. Oh, my foot was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Cheryl is a part of the Moodle Gold Post Club, too. I didn't mean for my foot to be there, but it's not. You're a part of the Moodle Gold Post Club, too.

I am not moving to the Gold Post. Last point, Gil. My words, they came out of your mouth. I said I answered you. Go ahead, Gil. It's your arena count. It's your arena. It's your arena. Present my underdog. Whoop, whoop.

Download that. Don't call me. You're going to get a thousand dollars. I'm a special pick. What? It doesn't affect the... If it's at the end of the game, that turnover...

You don't have to explain yourself. You said it was explaining yourself. If you're watching the game, you know that. But if you're not watching... If some of you are looking at this, you do not have to explain yourself. Whatever comes out of your mouth,

I'm going to use it against you. And I'm going to use this against him. You said all, so that's the word that I'm focusing on. I did. I did say all. Damn, anything else, you said all.

All as long as the game is still going on. Oh, so now you want to clarify. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when the game is over... I'm not giving you all the time. Yeah. We're here, and we went from... Okay, okay, okay.

We went from recording... I got you. That's why I like Cheryl, because she knows, We She adjusts her answer she agrees to what you want Yeah, right, I'm right because right you're not right I'm right because you're not right I'm right so you keep trying to convince her you right no I don't need to convince you never gonna convince me you right I know ever in life I know so oh we know a few months ago but there's a WNBA player by the name of Caitlin Clark how many turnovers was she having? The most in the league. What was his defense? It's hitting it in

their hand. It should be their turnover. It ain't her turnover. It's their turnover. They can't catch them all. Hit it over her head. That was you. Did I try to take away her turnovers? Yes, you did. You tried to take her away. She didn't just say she needs to get better at her turnover.

No, you did not. You said the players need to get better at catching the ball. That's what you said. That's what he had to do to bring that full circle. He had to reach outside the box. I didn't reach. I used your logic. I used the logic on the player you like. Hey, you you gotta get

Rodney James is Kate Clark. No, then we shutting this shit down. No. So we shut it down. When you like someone, you make an excuse. Caitlyn Clark went 30 plus minutes. All right. She got the ball in her hand all the time. You said LeBron James ate turnovers.

Ate turnovers. You said it's eight turnovers. And you said it's his turnovers. Trash. Caitlyn Clark, when she was making all those turnovers, you was. Greatness. Okay, exactly. But they're still turn, when she was making all those turnovers, you was greatness. Okay, exactly. But they're still turnovers.

Yes, they still turnovers. Back to the conversation. Greatness versus trash. Back to the conversation I had. Trash, you 40 years old, she's a rookie, and you are back.

Ain't no fucking excuse now, huh? So here you go. Somebody's still learning. So what if, what if, sorry. There you go. Go ahead. She rules.

This is Gil's arena. Here you go. So what if... Go ahead. This is Bill's arena. Here you go. So what if... What if she has the ball, right? She coming down in transition. It's a turnover. It don't matter. What they categorize as a turnover when you lose the position and it goes

to the other team. That is called a turnover. He got caught in the cookie jar. We now know if he likes you, he makes an excuse for you. So if I don't like... If he don't like you, he's waiting for your downfall.

So if I don't... I'm sitting here saying, Ronnie James... So you better be my friend. You better want to be my goddamn friend. Send me some DMs and you better start saying hello

So so Ronnie James misses layups and what's the name and I come up here with excuse I don't need to hear shit because at the end of the day if I like you I Defend you if I don't fuck you exactly so before we proceed Before we proceed to everybody out there that thinks shot and giller beefing just to show you you how close they are, how connected they are, Gil, can you please lift your shirt up for me, please? Please lift. Bam! They're wearing the same shirt!

They're wearing the same shirt! They are best friends! They are wearing the same t-shirt! Unplanned! Oh, yeah! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's sit straight. They saw each other. They said, we are best friends.

This is not the same. We can't. This is not the same. Let's go. What's up, twin? What's up, twin? What's up, twin? Mine is black.

Mine is black. Mine is black. Oh, OK. Mine is black. Yours is black. Yours is black. That's a Latin term. That's Latin.

It is a little dark. This is Latin. That's Latin. So. That's Latin. That's Latin. This is Latin. That's Latin. So before we move on, we asked the chat, did JJ Reddick put Bronny in a bad spot last night? Nearly 4,000 votes, 71% said yes. We also asked the chat, are all turnovers bad? 58% said yes, 42% said no.

I don't know what the fuck they talking about. And for last but not least... Here's chat. Here's chat. Last but not least, Cheryl, ah! I don't know what they're talking about. I'm going to sit on my floor. Cheryl is side foot.

Listen, they ought to prove my point. What's the next question? Yeah, Cheryl, what's the next question? Yeah, Cheryl, what's the next question? Next! Don't put the check. Because she's a scorer, let's put it in a scoring term. Don't to the chat. Next. Let's put it next. Next. Let's put it in a scoring term. Let's put it in a chat. I got the ball.

There's one second left. I give it to you, the bomb, and you shoot it. I'm not going to catch it with one second left. If you're playing with Chris Paul, you will. No, I'm not going to catch it. Is that shot considered a bad shot? I'm not going to catch it. Is that shot considered a bad shot? I'm not going to catch it. So that's going to be your turnover.

Is that a bad shot? That's going to be your turnover. Well, you consider that bad. If you're going to keep it that long, you got to shoot it. Well, guess what? But if I gave it to you, because you know that happens, and some people get bad shots. It is. But we don't call that bad shots, right? It is a bad shot.

So every miss is a miss. That's not a bad shot. That is my point guard putting me in a bad position. I had a teammate tell Chris Paul, no, I can't make those. No, I heard that shit. So therefore, listen, I had to score a teammate. Chris Paul with that manipulator, I'm finna get this assist every possession. No, I can't make those.

Don't get me though, don't. Right? No, but I know what you're saying. Right? I never passed the two. I'm taking that shot. You can't keep the ball and dribble, dribble, dribble, and No, but I know what you're saying. Right? I've never passed the two. I'm taking that shot. You can keep the ball and dribble, dribble, dribble, and then it's two seconds on the shot clock,

and then you want to give it to me. Yeah. Because I'm not going to catch it. So that's manipulating the game. I don't think he does it all the time. Who? That's what you asked me. I don't.

I don't think he does it all the time. He'll have 11 assists. The total team is 14. Right? So there was no hockey assists. That's all that was. So before we move on, we have one more question. What's wrong with that?

That's a direct assist leading straight to points. What's the alternative to that? Shot. You were shooting. Shot. But it's going to this guy and it's going in. It's an assist. You were shooting guard, but it's going to the same. It's going to this guy that's going in shot this you were shooting guard Hold on

How does that make sense that they're supposed to be another alternative from him not getting the turnover stop him passing to a guy Who's making a shot? Because shot because when you you you know, like I don't know why you go to stay warrior because when you go to stay warriors You know because you know when the Golden State Warriors was winning and when they was when the Golden State Warriors was winning, and when they was at their peak, you know what I mean, since they was averaging tonight? 25. 29. 29.

Shot, but because he's a scorer, he's not moving. He's not playing with a point guard like that. That would irritate the hell out of me. There's no grenade. I've played with Raymond Nelson. That's not the same. There's nobody manipulating the game. Are you saying that Chris Paul is the only

James Harden James Harden Not as bad not as bad. Not as bad. Yeah, so playing like this ball is a bad thing I was hollering is good. They play fast. They play fast like I don't play fast It's a lot of kick ups and shit like that, but in the half court is gonna be an assist and low turnover, right? Yeah, it is you're in the right way. No, no, it's going to be an assist and low turnover. Right? Yeah. Because he's playing the right way. No, no. I'm not saying that. True. It depends on who you are as a player.

I'm not saying he's not. Because Paul is one of the best point guards ever. I'm giving him his credit. But there is a way that I would prefer my point guard get off of it and not get off. That's just. So you have another way more efficient than Chris Paul? Depending on who you are.

What I'm saying is... No, I'm asking a simple question. What I'm saying is... You don't prefer Chris Paul? I played on a team with all three of them. J. Kidd, Andre Miller, Chris Paul,

Chauncey Billups. Give me them three first. Before Chris. Yes. You got to think about what he is, though. Shotty, you're going to pick the same two. No, I'm not. Yes, you are.

If I'm Kenyon Martin, I'm going with Chris Paul because he's throwing me the ball the most. He's not. He is live city. That's all he does. After a certain number, that's not all he does. Even for Jason Kidd, he wants to throw to everybody. But this motherfucker Chris Paul is going to throw to the motherfucker who can jump the highest. But what I'm saying is Tyson Chandler, all the guys he's played with, he threw the ball to them.

No, but I have a question. So you want to, so I have a question, Rashad. I have a question. So what did I say when I made the statement about those three guys? What did I say? Who played on the team with them? I fucking said I did, didn when I made the statement about those three guys? What did I say? Who played on the team with them? I fucking said I did, didn't I?

You did. Didn't I say I fucking played with them? So how the fuck do you know better than motherfucking me when I played on the team with them? I don't. You should have just had a conversation by yourself. How can you? You should have just had a conversation by yourself. How can you know better? What the fuck is we even just listening to you talk?

What do we do? What do we do? What the fuck do we do? We're watching from the outside How can you know better? What the fuck is we even just listening to you talk? What do we do? What are we doing? But he's playing so he can tell you. What the fuck are we doing? We're watching from the outside. I'm just saying. What the fuck? OK, so Chris Paul.

We're talking about Chris Paul. But look, Chris Paul's expertise. I played with Chris Paul in 19 under. No, but I'm saying his ex, his. In what? I know how he plays. In the what? He's actually my little, he's my little homie.

I watched some plays. He's from North Carolina. You know what I'm saying? And I play it in the pros what we're talking about here. His expertise is controlling the game, right? So the last five minutes of the game where it's very important, he's going to hold the ball 24 seconds. I'm with it. He's going to get a great shot every time.

No turnover. I'm with it. And is that that? No, no, no. That's called execution. Execution. He is not going to like him because he won't get the ball. He is playing that way.

I'm not a team player. I'm not a team player. I'm going to hate my point guard because I don't get the ball. What are you talking about, bro? Don't put my name in any kind of negative scenario like you know how I'm going to react to some shit, bro. I'm a fucking winner, bro. I know how you play the game. You don't know. You don't know nothing.

You're an ice cold guy. You ain't never watched me, bro. You never watched me. You didn't like when you felt it and he passed the ball. You never watched me, bro. You didn't even watch me until I got on the show. You ain't watch highlights, nigga. You ain't never watched me, bro.

You never knew nothing about me until Tim mentioned my name. It was like, oh, yeah, I see him at the gym. Yeah, man, talk to him, nigga. You ain't never watched me, bro. You never knew nothing about me until Tim mentioned my name. It was like, oh yeah, I see him at the gym. Yeah, man, talk to him, man. Cool. You don't know nothing about my game. If you knew, you would know. Man, I'm not the nigga you fuck with. I really do this shit. Raymond Felton passed the ball more.

You didn't like his style because he didn't get you the ball fast enough. I averaged 20 a game What are you talking about? He averaged 10 assists a game and I averaged 20 Sean may average 10 rebounds You know what our jobs was I'm the score you pass it to me. And if I miss nigga you rebound Because talking about, bro? He don't know who he's talking to, man. Before we move on, before we move on,

who is your favorite point guard? What are you talking about? Who is your favorite point guard? He did Raymond Phillips say was top three all time to him. He said, man, I played with all them dudes. I know what he said. You know who's a bad motherfucker? Him.

Now I want to hear what you say. Who's your best point guard? I said Raymond Phillips is my top five Carolina all time. No, no, no, no, say. Who's your best point guard? I said Raven Feld is in my top five Carolina all time. No, no, no, no, no. All time. Who is your best point guard? Hear the question. You said he averaged 10 assists.

He gave you the ball. Who is your top point guard? Because five minutes ago you said you didn't like, so I want to hear you say it again. I didn't like who? Who is your favorite point guard? 10 minutes I said I didn't like what? Who is your favorite point guard? I don't have one.

So we asked the chat, is it obvious? We asked the chat, is it obvious? Every time he falls into the bear trap. We asked the chat. If a guy who has tennis tits give you the ball, he ain't even in your favorite. No, he ain't in my favorite. He didn't give you the ball the way you want. Nah, man, because he's trying to fuck my word. We asked the chat, is it obvious?

Who the fuck you paying over there? Merely a host. Merely a host. Soon to be a movie star,'s getting claps and shit. Who the fuck you paying over there? Merely a host. Merely a host, soon to be a movie star, as you guys already know. But let's wrap this show up with one more topic. So, Joel Embiid misses 12 straight games while dealing with knee swelling. Only appeared in 13 games this season. During the game, TNT ran a graphic

highlighting the injury issues Embiid has dealt with throughout his career. Let us take a look. The former MVP has played in 446 games of a possible 400 or 846 games. You got me fucking up all show. Of a possible 846 games. Missing a total of 47% of games he could have played in. But let's look at the positive.

Despite this, Embiid, MVP, seven-time All-Star, five-time All-NBA selection, two-time All-Defensive selection, two-time scoring champ. Embiid is still only 30 years old, but things don't appear to be trending in the right direction. We talked about Kawhi recently and all the injuries he's dealt with, the games he's missed. Is Joel Embiid one of the biggest what-ifs in NBA history? Which sounds crazy to ask, but looking at that graphic, missed 47% of the possible games he could have played. And Underdog put up a stat, too.

He's made like $120-something million off of those games that he's missed. So, shout-out PTO. Wow. I would love to say he is, but we've seen him at his... You're right. We didn't see him at the top, but we've seen him. We've seen him at his we Be right. We didn't see him at the top, but we see them going up. We see them going up, right? And what we seen was some great shit, right he dominated right so I Can't give him the title of the what if it's gonna always be dead Rose the youngest MVP He's not

even in no prime year. He's not even close to prime. He is a beginner and he won MVP. That's going to be always the biggest what if. Like, what the fuck was this dude going to be doing?

This is what he was doing this early. Hmm. You know, I don't think you did your best on that take. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. I appreciate it. I don't think you did your best.

Okay, that was some life-changing shit right there. I didn't feel it. You didn't care what he better. I didn't feel it. You didn't care what he said. I didn't feel it. You didn't care what he said. It didn't matter what the fuck he was saying. He was waiting. He was waiting for that. You should have been better than that. You got it.

That ain't your best. Y'all know I'm light-skinned, and I will take this to the grave. His energy is eternal, but in all sincerity. One of, can't say who is the biggest what if. 446 out of 846. One of the Can't say who is the biggest what if. 446 out of 846.

One of the biggest what if stories, man. Five seasons, almost five seasons worth of missed games. Yeah, that's a lot, bro. What's his name? No. Him too. But that's a lot of games missed, man. Oh, God.

What's his name? You know how impactful you gotta be, though, to miss this many games and still be relevant? Right. You know what I mean? You're still, like, most people who got injured, nobody remembers. You're like, you

out of there. You know why? Because the team gives up on them before they can get a chance. Oh, back then? You can't get a second, third, fourth, fifth chance. And B, been there for trusting the process because we've got a big fella who showed us he could be a key melodrama. Right? So let's sit around.

Let's figure out how we can get this process going. And then we see glimpses of him being great. And we're like, all right, cool. We can build around this. But then he's injured. He's not. He's injured. He's not. You can't. I not, he's injured, he's not.

You can't, I mean, it ain't no knock against him, but when you injury-prone, which we don't like to say that word, it's like, how do you manage your investments? How do you manage who to pick up, who not? You know what I'm saying?

Like, $125 million of my money went without you even seeing the flow. You can't get that back. I can see why he signed that deal. Remember, we was questioning that motherfucker. Like, wait, hold on. You damn near did that. The MVP was yours last year.

You just lost 64 games. And he signed that deal, and you're like, oh, we knew why. I just think it's, since they haven't found no solution for what, the bone on bone, the general, I mean. Yeah. I think that's what it is right now. Yeah, but damn the surgeries and all that.

He ain't did the work. He hasn't did the work on the extremities that he's had worked on, right? If there's knee issues, you need to work on it. I can speak on this because- And I'm on the other side of that. Two microfracture surgeries, patella surgery, Like, I didn't been there, right? Major knee surgeries, missed time, missed whole season. Played the first two games, had to miss the whole 80 games. Played all that shit, been there, done that. Played after because it was important to me.

Me being on that floor was important to me, right? It's not important enough to him because he's not doing the extra stuff. It's not important enough to him. Because he's not doing the extra stuff. He's not doing the rehab. He's not putting the extra time in. You've got to put the work in.

He's not doing that, like I said, I told him I did that CPM machine at least eight hours a day. I'm doing, I'm sleeping in it. So I'm doing the stuff

in order to get back on the floor because that shit meant something to me. I don't think it means anything. He's getting paid either way it goes, so he's like, fuck it. Right? You got, it has to mean something. Right? You have to be passionate about this shit in order to keep on to do it and have longevity in it.

I didn't play 15 years because I got my first micro fracture surgery in 06. I played until 2015, man, way after that because I put the time in. Now, since I'm on the opposite side, I'm on the Embiid side. You know what I mean? So, like, what was your mindset? Like, you want to get back on the floor, so you're just going to... Yeah, I want to play. Like, I want to play, dog.

I'm passionate about this. Like, I couldn't go to the games, dog. Like, when I was out that season, I didn't go to the game. Like, watching y'all out there hoop and play. I'm sick. Like, it bothers me that I can't compete. Like, dog, my last year, go ask my wife, dog, I was

difficult to live with when I'm not playing, dog. During my career and after them first couple years, I was thankful for the big three. Grateful to motherfucking be a three-on-three. Let's go hope give a fuck what it was $10,000 a week. I just came from making motherfucking 16 million last year

You want to pay me 10 grand a week less? It ain't about the fucking money the shit don't mean enough to him and It has to You know if you want to keep fucking playing this game. It has to mean something to this dude, man and From what I'm gathering words don't mean can't nobody get to him. So it's It has to be internal You have to show up and do this shit daily, dog

You got to put yourself through this. I went through that rehab shit. I struggled. I set that motherfucking tears. Right? I did all that shit because I wanted to motherfucking play. Many restrictions. Hated it.

I did the shit because I saw a light at the end of the fucking tunnel. I wasn't going to let this beat me. Right? I got this way from doing what? Playing basketball. I didn't have to have micro fracture surgery because I was sitting on the fucking couch. No.

I played this game a certain way. I earned this shit. So guess what? I earned whatever injuries I had, I earned them. So I'm going to work my ass off to get past this. He's a hell of a talent. But when that

talent don't work, we know what the saying go, dog. Come on, man. Like, it is what it is. Preach. Trust me. No, it's fact. Trust me, I didn't take my experience. I've been there, man. Like, it is what it is. Preach. Trust me. No, it's fact. Trust me, I didn't take my ideas.

I've been there, though. And my career ended. Weak as a motherfucker. I've been there, man. Like, two micro-fracture surgeries. I had my patella put back together. That man came in the recovery room and told me, son, you some kind of tough.

Because there's no way you should have been paying professional basketball with your needle-weared look. Didn't know it until he opened me up. So, dude, come on, man. I added racks in my car so I

couldn't sit like this. My left knee, I couldn't sit like this for longer than like two minutes. Fucking knee would flare up. It's my left knee. You don't drive this motherfucker. So it ain't straight So every car I ever had when I was a devil I added extra racks in my car so I could sit in my fucking car Like this I Paid extra money so I could be comfortable to sit in every car. I had so I can be in that bitch just like this But I couldn't sit like this in the car service we're in the car service I sit behind the

passenger side so I can put my put that seat back no I need to put my leg through I used to tell every driver I was in a car with no disrespect man but I can't have my leg bent for long man I gotta straighten this thing out dog but I'm trying to get I'm trying to hoop it I'm trying to hoop. It has to mean something. It does. Wow. I think well said. And with that, let's move to Mostly Fans.

We still have the counter now at 51 minutes. Do keep it going. Do not reset it. But first question. We got a video question from Underdog User, one of our favorites. Big tone, never wrong. Yeah, big tone. What up, Gills Arena?

The question I got for y'all today is, throughout all of NBA history, what do y'all think was the hardest position to play? I'm leaning towards the point guard and the power forward position just because of the names attached to it. But in y'all opinion, which one y'all think is the hardest to play? Love the show. Peace. You got glitter on the sweatshirt. You got masked up.

Ryan's... Is this an O video? Hmm? What? Is it COVID? No. Yeah. Oh, that's the fire?

You think? I don't know where he's at. What did you say? Could just be a style choice. There's the 2020. There's the COVID. Could just be running up on people's spots. Oh, there's a COVID. Could just be running up on people's spots.

Oh, it's cold, man. I don't know. He probably wanted just coverage. All I'm looking at is like, where is he at? It's cold outside.

It is big time. It's never warm. I don't know. I don't know. We're big time. That's the only thing I'm looking at like. Don't make excuses for him.

Where's the mask at? It's just cold. He might cover up. What are you doing? All right. So, what is the hardest position to play in the NBA? It's just cold. What are you doing? A whole lot. What is the hardest position to play in the NBA? Back to the question.

Point guard. Point guard. The hardest position? History. Point guard. You don't think it's changed? Center. Why do you think center, Sean?

You got to depend on everybody else giving the ball. True. I got to do all this other shit, and I got to wait for you to throw me the ball after I do all the hard work and defense and talking and rebounding. Yeah, I feel sorry because then we don't have to throw it to them. We can literally... I mean... Throw it to them. More thinking.

You got to be smarter than everybody on the court. Knowing what everybody wants to do, how they're going to do it. Yeah. Right, so... You got to know all the plays, pretty much all the positions. Yeah, you got to...

Get your run in. Yeah. I guess that depends on. Which one is harder, the quarterback or the lineman? Say it again. Quarterback or the lineman in football, which is the harder position? I don't watch football. You don't watch football?

Not like that. Quarterback or the lineman? I mean, the lineman has a tough job, though. You said lineman? The lineman is in the front? They have a tough job protecting the quarterback. Mm-hmm. I know people look at it and say the quarterback does all the work, right?

Mm-hmm. But if you don't have your lineman blocking for you and protecting you, you can't. Yeah, you're only good as you're lying. You're only as good as you're lying have your line, I'm blocking for you and protecting you, you kid. Yeah, you're only good as your line. You're only as good as your line. Shut up. So listen, when we talk about the line, right? Yes, you are. We're talking about the line.

Look. It's like a bodyguard, right? No. Like a bodyguard in the club. No. Better. Make sure they don't get near me. Better.

No. Huh? No, not quite. If they don't get near me better. Oh, huh? No, not quite if they don't do their job Because he gets a little cuz guy in the middle tells the other guy the other four guys who blocked the center the center Tell everybody everybody got it Then maybe the sinners job is more important than the line. Yes, but he's a part of what? Hold on so we saying the sinner is not my sport, but goddammit I don't give fuck fuck how long you're blocking

if I can't throw the ball. It goes both ways. If I can't throw the ball, shit, I can't get it. But if they don't block, you ain't gonna ever be able to throw the ball. You ain't gonna ever be able to throw that ball. You can't even get it. You're gonna be on your bike.

If they don't block, you're never gonna be able to throw it. I don't wanna be in a position where a motherfucker gotta hit me, any motherfucker. Right, not for free. Yeah, me sitting there, everybody want the ball. But that's the point guard.

That's the only ball I don't want. Point guard gotta regulate who he get a ball to, but then the big man gotta be the one, I gotta figure out how to get him open so I can get the ball. That's real talk. Yeah. You gotta try to keep one of them little motherfuckers in front of you. Or one of them.

That is a difference. Yeah, yeah. That's a big difference, too. You gotta wear a mouthpiece. That's your whole career. Hey, put it by them elbows. Yeah. You gotta sit down there and wrestle, goddamn it.

That wrestling, all that wrestling. You gotta wrestle. Yeah, I ain't trying to wrestle you all over there. You know I wrestle. Hey, one thing is, I got my nose broke, and that wasn't because I was trying to tip duck. So other than that, I know how to bob and weave, Jack. Whoa, that was close.

You got Jack leaning on you. Whoa. I came close a few times. Whoa. I'm just telling you, just a guy who ain't really played defense like that, it ain't that hard. I know how to scream. Heavy abit.

I got Maxie today. Ah, switch. I was going to ask you who was the toughest player you had to guard, but you ain't really played defense. So I ain't going to ask you that question. Switch. I know how to switch. Switch. And on that note. But you ain't really play defense so I ain't gonna ask you that question

Who's the toughest big man you played against like that I had to guard yeah, just big man period but you had to guard some No, I see then you yeah, you got a If I'm guarding Allen Iverson, I can switch off of him. You got to guard. Yeah, you can't switch off. That's all you. I don't want to switch off neither. And then if Tony Parker come down there, you still got to block it.

Yeah. And then you got to rebound. Then you got to pass it to me. You know, that kind of like... Y'all definitely buff... Yeah, y'all definitely, yeah. Fucking divas of the sport. Yeah.

Toby. Help sport. Yeah. Help. Help. Help me. Yeah. And I got to take it like no serious, like when you just actually break it down, like it has to be the big man. It has to be. What do you mean?

The toughest position? I can delegate all my responsibility just by screaming help. That is true. And then blame him. Lazy ass. Go. No, because your lazy ass don't want to play defense.

Push the base. Just move. You're late. When you're late, what are you late for? If I can't get by my guy, scream. But you got to have a good big man back there that can help. Some screens in the back. He got somebody like Marcus Banks guarding.

If he want me to come set a screen in the back court. Come get him off me, yeah. Come get him off me then and have Craig go. Constantly talking to you. I would agree with that. I can delegate all my responsibilities. It's a lot of work. Yeah.

Especially if you're an athletic big man. You have to go both ends of the floor. They're expecting you to do a whole lot more than you. The man had been possessed. I didn't go at all five people with one possession I just stay right in the middle. That's the worst I would have got him Pat paid max brother all the people that was going by me boy. You had a lot of blocks Yeah you that had a lot of blocks. Because then you go on offense and they may not even give you the ball. Yeah. I just did all that shit on that end. And then run all the

way down and seal and nobody get it. Yeah. Then you get the three second call. Like three seconds. They're like, god damn it. And then you got the dudes doing it on purpose. They got them looking like, nah, nah, nah. Nah, nah, nah. You're not open. You're not open.

Watch this magic. Watch this. Watch this magic. Watch this. Watch this fucking turn over here. I'm going to go cut and stand right in the middle of the paint. Stay there, bitch. You ain't going to call it? You ain't going to call it. I'm yelling out three seconds.

And then in the timeout, timeout, he's going to cuss everybody out of the timeout. Oh, my God. I'm going to duck in and make sure they call three out. Oh, my God. No, Paul. Oh, my God. Okay. I'm going to duck in. Make sure they call three seconds. Watch this fucking thing. What?

It's so true. It's so true. Because they do that all the time. All the time. Here we go, God damn it. I'm looking right at you. You're not looking at me. I know.

Somebody's behind you. Oh, they're behind you. They're behind you. We see them. That ain't going to go over to her next time out. That one ain't going to go over to her next time out. I can promise you that one. Oh, shit. I'm going to use you for a screen to get next time out. That one ain't gonna go over to it next time out. I can promise you that one. I'll use you for a screen
