Starting point is 00:08:59 Yeah, I was your pick. He got it. He got all foul. I'm like, why are you in foul trouble? He got that the wows had to sit and I'm all man. I was so mad man Chris Paul lower 24.5 points rebounds and assists And your favorite Alex are hmm against sack. Yeah, Alex are higher 19.5 points rebounds in this system. All together. Rebound system. Yeah, all together. They should add blocks to his as well. I know I should have. I seen somebody that's like,

Starting point is 00:09:43 He gonna be out. He can't guard him. He gonna have to guard what's-his-name? Shangoon? He gonna have to... Shangweenie? I'm just saying, I don't... Which one do you feel most confident in if you had to pick one of those? Chris Paul. The most? Go back up.

Starting point is 00:09:58 Chris Paul. Hold on a second. Because he playing against Sac. Uh, I'll say... I feel great about all of them. You and Sac, man. They're going to be... Uh, I'll say... I feel great about all of them. But probably Chris Paul won. I think Derrick Jones is going to do me right this time. Those two.

Starting point is 00:10:53 We got audio versions available on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts. All right, so we got to take it over to the 414. 414. Yeah. So, season started.

Starting point is 00:11:04 Giannis had high praise for reigning finals mvp jalen brown saying he was the best player in the league because he was finals mvp on the world champion boston celtics of the world the world champion but there was no love lost between the two or jason tatum when the bucks and celtics met for the second time this season sunday in milwaukee yannis finished the game 43 points, 13 rebounds, 5 dimes, and 2 blocks in a losing effort and had a few questionable moments with the Celtics dynamic

Starting point is 00:11:31 duo. So it started with Giannis giving Jalen Brown an elbow to the dome. He was looking for an offensive foul on the play and as the two went back down the court, Greek feet hit JV with a pump fake high five. Good to see him still getting it.

Starting point is 00:11:47 He going to try it again? Smiling through it all. But Brown got his get back later in the game, giving Giannis a right form to the chest as he drove to the basket. Brown was given a flagrant one on the play. So after the game, both Jalen Brown and Giannis had some thoughts. Giannis is a child. I'm just focused on helping my team get a win.

Starting point is 00:12:10 And that's what we did tonight. Did you have that on your mind later when you gave the hard foul in the fourth quarter? Nah, just playing basketball. Well, he said I was a child. Giannis is a child. I'm just focused on helping my team get a win and that's what we did though he did he was complimentary about your performance in the game i thought i thought you know i thought that um you know i thought that i gave him a compliment that he was

Starting point is 00:12:35 just going at me but at the same time this is who i am uh i play i play the game with with fun joy um i try to surround myself around young people so I can stay young myself. I try to be around my kids a lot, you know, my nieces. And sometimes I might, you know, go out there on the, you know, at times on the court when I play, do stuff like that. I just try to go out there and have fun. But again, great player, great competitor. If I have another opportunity, I'll do it again.

Starting point is 00:13:06 And I'll do it again. Is this ring on his middle finger on the opposite hand? What did he say? You worried about the wrong things, but I appreciate it. I appreciate it. I have to look again, too. It ain't? It's his right hand.

Starting point is 00:13:19 It's his right hand. It's a Greco-Nigerian thing. Oh, okay. No, no. Greco-Nigerian. You know something I don't know? It sounded good. It flows.

Starting point is 00:13:29 It flows. Greco-Roman, Greco-Nigerian. But you agree with Jalen Brown, or is he a little too mad at Giannis for the pump fake high five? Yeah, I think he's a little too mad. Everybody know Giannis. You know, he play around, but he is a great competitor. He just got brown ass.

Starting point is 00:13:48 It was a good one. That was a good one. You can't do nothing but be like, damn, you got me. Anybody should have said, you got me. You got me. It's like doing this. It's like doing that. But everything going on in the Bucs season, how you feel about Giannis acting like this?

Starting point is 00:14:07 Obviously, it's been a tough struggle, but he's still being playful. When you're 2-8, you got to find some type of joy out of it. I mean, but he bought out. I mean, but like Nick said, that's Giannis. You know, he does that sometimes. But, I mean, shit, you're 2-8, so. Yeah, it ain't Giannis' fault, though. You Yeah, it ain't y'all's fault, though.

Starting point is 00:14:26 You know, it ain't his fault, so he got to find something to smile about. He's the leader of the team. It's his franchise. I mean, he did back up what he talked about, though. Yeah. So, what do you think? I know you don't play those games. That shit's hilarious. Okay. Oh, you got to laugh it off.

Starting point is 00:14:41 Yeah. Jalen Brown didn't laugh in the moment. That's hilarious, though. Like, you gotta laugh it off. Yeah. If Jalen Brown didn't laugh in the moment, that's hilarious, dog. Like, it's... Yeah, he didn't do nothing to him. I would laugh my ass off if somebody did that to me on the court. Yeah. Would laugh like a... Would laugh my ass off, man. Like, nah, it's...

Starting point is 00:14:59 And you know who you're dealing with. He already knew it coming in. That's why he called him a kid. He heard him joke and play a lot. So that's... You obviously, prankster, you like to troll, like to joke a lot. How do you feel about Giannis hitting JB with the... Look, I get it, right?

Starting point is 00:15:14 It seems corny, immature, but... He was smiling though. But, like, it's Giannis. I smile through it all. Like, you know when you're playing a game, someone who doesn't really... Like, that should let you know it's hard to get through Giannis then, right? Because he's always so upbeat that he don't take it serious. So when he does take it serious, you know, you're really in trouble because he's giving

Starting point is 00:15:40 you 43 and 15 with a smile on his face. Right. You know what I mean? So it's... You know, he's just one of those players, man. because he giving you 43 and 15 with a smile on his face. Right. You know what I mean? So, you know, he's just one of those players, man. So, you know. We know Jalen Brown is the serious guy on the court. So if you do want to irritate somebody, that's the one you go after. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:15:59 Do a whole bunch of silly shit to him. And it worked. And it worked. Have any of you seen Jalen Brown laugh before? Yeah. Yeah. He laughs. He laughs.

Starting point is 00:16:09 I'm just trying to explain. He laughs. Like, you know, he's a, but Jalen is no different than, like, I don't say he's, like, mellow, right? I remember when you watch Mello play, like, it's with passion. And, like, it's with passion. Like, he's very serious.

Starting point is 00:16:28 Off the court. Yeah. Can't keep him. You can't keep him from laughing. Everything's funny, right? That's all he does is laugh. So it's like, you know, some people turn it off, some people turn it off. So you can't really judge who he looks like on the court. We don't know what he is off the court.

Starting point is 00:16:44 Yeah, you dropped 43. Should have had 45. Should have, yeah. We're going to discuss it in a second. It was bigger issues going on in Milwaukee than Child's play. But we asked the chat, Giannis' fake high five was, A, childish, B, fine. 70% said it was fine.

Starting point is 00:17:00 All right, chat, you starting off the show on a good note. But let's get to a more serious side. Giannis also had an incident with Jason Tatum where his foot was in Tatum's landing zone, which caused Tatum to roll his ankle. There was no call on the play, so we're going to take a look at the play and what Tatum had to say after the game. So here's the play right here. Giannis puts a foot in the landing zone, and here's what Tatum had to say afterwards. That's something I could have been out for six weeks or whatever. So for it to be a no call,

Starting point is 00:17:31 let alone they didn't even get to review it or look at it, I lose my shit, cut somebody out, and then I get attacked. It's like a double whammy. So, I mean, that shit is frustrating when all you get is sorry, we missed it. You know, your ankle's swollen, you got to figure it out.

Starting point is 00:17:49 So, yeah, I definitely was frustrated. So after the game, he also quote-tweeted a video of the play with the caption, shaking my effing head, some calls you're just not supposed to miss. So do you understand Tatum's frustration with the no-call on Giannis in that moment? Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

Starting point is 00:18:07 Same thing that happened to Kawhi Leonard in that playoff series. Yeah, and when it's supposed to be points of emphasis, like they made it a point of emphasis to watch out for. And she's not even the ref and of course she ain't even looking. She wasn't even looking. She ain't even looking. See that's the... She ain't even looking.

Starting point is 00:18:24 Right there. She's not even looking. She wasn't even looking. She wasn't even looking. She's not even looking. Why is she reffing that game? Jason Taylor is tired of the disrespect, man. No, like, okay, like, if you're a ref, like, are you, like, are you looking up first, then down? Like, how, like, I gotta ask a ref that, like, because if you're shooting, I want to make sure the person don't hit this part first Right, you know cuz yeah, because it was a play right after that way. It was a timeout and the commentator was like thought they could maybe go back and look at it, but It was like a defense of three seconds or something

Starting point is 00:18:58 I got a then they shot the free throw and and then even look at it So man got it right to be. That's what I said. If I'm a ref, I'm going to look, make sure, like, the shooter is up. Like, if I can see the shooter or the defensive player, like, moving into his direction, I'm going to look. But I don't know what would make me look down unless I already know this is the type of player. Like, if Bruce Bowen was closing out or Shaq closing out, I know what to look for.

Starting point is 00:19:24 So, let me ask you this. If you're looking at me, can you see my feet? Yeah. Without looking down? Yeah. Right? Yeah. I can see.

Starting point is 00:19:32 Chris, I can see everything in this motherfucking room. Yeah, but... Brother, apologize. No, it's peripheral vision is what there's... You're watching somebody go up and shoot. You automatically... Yeah. It's supposed to be points of emphasis, so there's you watching somebody go up and shoot you automatically. Yeah, it's just supposed to be points of emphasis

Starting point is 00:19:46 So there's no excuse to miss it Like I don't care what you why you should with it where you got to do this shit or whatever you got to do You're supposed to be looking for that Like it doesn't matter if that's the kind of player he is or not if it was a Room looking now No, no, no, no. She wasn't even looking. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

Starting point is 00:20:07 That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

Starting point is 00:20:15 That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

Starting point is 00:20:23 That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's-hmm. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Go back a little bit. That was a cold. Goddamn. Like, see, like, it's... Whether it's him... See, I'm looking...

Starting point is 00:20:33 See, I'm... Huh? She looking. See, I'm looking at that... See, I'm looking at the hand. She looking... She looking up top. She's looking at the top.

Starting point is 00:20:41 She not looking down. Yeah. She looking... I think I would've missed that. The ball is gone already, right? Your job is to look down now see what a man land that go back yeah yeah go back his whole body but you're supposed to so you're supposed oh it's okay this is not a foul anymore no because it's gone already the ball gone yeah yeah the ball been gone she's supposed to look down now no No, but I'm saying you can do that You can't that's not a foul. Is it on you can do that though? Oh, I don't know if it's

Starting point is 00:21:16 You can do that. Like if once I'm going yes, like, you know, like you're not even letting the guy finishes Yeah, it's follow through supposed to be fire. So by ruler the landing zone supposed to be a little does it look intentional? Yeah, this is part. No, it doesn't look intentional not but it doesn't Yeah, okay, so like yeah, don't matter like go a little bit like okay, so is it because it's no it doesn't matter She's supposed to look no. Okay, so the honest foot is one of the landing zone right now, but it's going sideways right now It's right now He's gonna land on it. A nigga... It's fine. It was worth it. It was worth it. The words are size 17.

Starting point is 00:21:50 You can tell by her hair though. You can look up and still see down at the same time. I know, but she ain't... You know females, they only look at one thing. Man, no. My thing is this. I think it's because it's Gianna. She ain't call it. No, what I'm saying is what makes she look at the top?

Starting point is 00:22:09 She ain't looking up. If I'm standing, I can see everything. I can see his whole bottom and everything right there. But he's sitting down. But I'm saying. It don't matter. But you're supposed to be able to. Your peripheral vision is supposed to allow you to.

Starting point is 00:22:21 What we're saying is women can't see. No. It's not supporting our women. It's not supporting our women. That's what y'all see that's what you say This beautiful referee young lady see her his whole body, okay sound good. That's what I'm saying sound good Her back is turned. How the fuck we gonna know she can good. That's what I'm saying. Sound good. Her back is turned. How the fuck we going to know if she can see or not? You know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:22:48 What makes this okay? I'm watching. The ball is gone. But it makes that a foul. The ball is gone. Right? So, if you can hit my hand on the follow through, and that's fine. By the time I land, the ball is gone anyway, too, so what makes

Starting point is 00:23:06 that the foul, then? It's the same concept. Ball's gone. Yeah, but you got to be able to land, though, safely. I should be able to throw my goose neck, too. Yeah, you should be able to follow through. You should be able to follow through, but all of it is part of it.

Starting point is 00:23:21 I mean, under the ruling, that should be a foul. You just missed it, man. That's a flagrant. It happens. It's supposed to be a flagrant. That's a flagrant. Should be a flagrant by rule. That was a flagrant one. If you put your foot in the landing zone, that's a flagrant.

Starting point is 00:23:30 That's a flagrant one, dog. It's a flagrant, yeah. That's what I'm saying. It's a flagrant. It gives. It's points of emphasis. That's a flagrant one file. You got to call it.

Starting point is 00:23:39 No matter who it is. Yeah, you got to call it. That's a flagrant one. Not even... But didn't he just get a flagrant one? Like, this one is... This one's more like an accent. But it's a flagrant one. Not even but then he just get it like that like this one is this was more like a accent But it's a flagrant. It doesn't matter So yeah Jalen Brown got flagrant for the forum. Okay, so you can okay. Okay. Let's let's let's say he did get a flagrant. Mm-hmm, right one

Starting point is 00:24:04 Do you call this as a referee as a flagrant? Yes. You're supposed to. So you call it as a foul. They go to the table to confirm it, and it's a flagrant one. In every basketball game I've watched since the Kawhi Leonard incident, it has been a point of emphasis. This particular play right here.

Starting point is 00:24:24 They haven't deviated from it. It's automatic. You got to call that. This particular play right here. They haven't deviated from it. It's automatic. You got to call that. Automatic. You got to. But that's what I'm saying. Like, how, like, there should be, like, groups of flagrant ones. Right?

Starting point is 00:24:35 Like, hanging on the rim. Right? Hanging on the rim shouldn't be in the same category as being fucking elbowed in the face. It's not. Hanging on the rim is just a tag, right? Yeah. But two of those, you're out. No.

Starting point is 00:24:44 It's a sportsman. Like, it don't count as the same as a technical. Oh, they changed that? Unsportsmanlike technical is different than if I'm not mistaken. But I don't think you're out. See I thought like two tags you're out. Like so if I'm hanging on the rim and I get one that's a tag. Two of those, two of those yeah. But I don't, hanging on the rim shouldn't be that.

Starting point is 00:25:03 Yeah, that's what I said. There's like certain things that shouldn't be in the same category you get out the game I'm with you and Yannis's elbow should have probably been a flagrant one as well put those two together I agree so it don't count anymore like the intent of it. I'm looking at this reputation Counts over in tip. Okay? Okay, he didn't get called for a take on the elbow. Because if I'm like, if Draymond Green did it, he was doing whatever. It might be upgraded to a flagrant two because of his shit.

Starting point is 00:25:28 Like, if I'm looking at this, and I'm a ref, and I'm looking for his intent, I would say, I don't think he intended it because the way his foot is angled, his angle, like, I'm not trying to put it under it.

Starting point is 00:25:39 Right, but he's still... Right, I'm trying to go to the side. Yeah, yeah. You got a call. All right. Under the rule, under the rule, it's a flagrant one. Because he definitely out for six, eight weeks. So, Braille got a take, and he's right. I'm trying to go to the side. Yeah, you gotta call Under the rule under the rule is a flame cuz he definitely out for six eight weeks

Starting point is 00:25:46 Oh brown got a ticket he did it why it's cuz the persona that one tried to got a flagrant one Which is you think y'all is the elbow to shit? That's what I'm saying. Call it. So thank you. That's all say Yannis is a good guy to them to the My turn demons under the rule Giannis is a good guy to the media. But for me, he's found me around a lot of kids. He might turn demon. Under the rule, this is a flagrant one-file. He might turn demon. We asked the chat, how do you feel about the no call? Said, was it a flagrant, not a foul, or a foul?

Starting point is 00:26:16 66% said flagrant. But let's talk about the bigger issue at hand in the 4-1-4 right now. Bucks are now 2-8 on the season. They have lost eight of their last nine games. That's the biggest issue? They're 2-8? That's not a something. No, that's foolish.

Starting point is 00:26:33 Is that a good record? No Chris Middleton. Is that a good record? That don't mean nothing. You better off saying there's no Thanasis. No Thanasis. No Chris Middleton. Huh? Where's Thanasis at? Stillanasis. No Chris Miller. Still recovering from his Achilles injury.

Starting point is 00:26:51 There was talk that they may open up a roster spot to bring him on. That has not been done yet. He's hurt right now. But let's go back to this game. There was one more play you guys wanted to look at. The Bucs were down five. Need a bucket with 36 seconds remaining. This is what ended up happening.

Starting point is 00:27:05 Okay. Stop it. Stop it now. Oh, you got to drop that. So, I don't know on what planet the end result of this play you will see, where the ball ended up, but I'm pretty sure in the timeout, it was said to look for Giannis on the road. I wasn't there, but I'm almost positive. Does it need to be said, though?

Starting point is 00:27:33 It does not need to be said, but go ahead. Run it. You look at Giannis. This is a dunk and one on Al Horford. Look at, and Dame don't even look at it. Oh, a foul. It's an and one. That's an and one.

Starting point is 00:27:54 That's an and one. He can throw it up right now. Look at this. A lob. Look where you decided. He throw that early, this is going to be looking like. Look where you decided. Throw to the corner, the Torian Prince.

Starting point is 00:28:06 For a contested three-point shot. Lakers fans remember this. Okay, so he's not a real corner. Right? That's a problem. Had the chance to cut the lead to three. You need a bucket. Two or three in this moment.

Starting point is 00:28:21 Who's the better shooter, Tony or Torian? Who, Derry Bird? None of them. Bird. Derry Bird. Bird. AJ Green, for sure. Yeah, rewind a little bit more.

Starting point is 00:28:31 Hell yeah. And this is where selfishness kicks in. Oh, let's go back. There we go. Go, go, go, go. And this is where smart basketball

Starting point is 00:28:40 needs to be played. Right here, right here. Right? Torian Prince knows his guy stayed, right? So he should come up. Go the wing he should come up slot So it's a swing swing right because if Torian Prince catches it if he goes up where the lady is Derek white has to get him and then he gets to pass it to the corner

Starting point is 00:29:01 versus knowing that you go up and I get this open shot when you're the worst of the two. Torian Probe want to get buckets, too, though. All right. Huh? Who got open, to be honest with you, dog? Yeah, no, that's... Torian Probe's better. If that was Steve Nash, or if that was John Stockton...

Starting point is 00:29:19 Chris Paul. Chris Paul. Or anybody else. Jason Kidd, that's a dunk. He don't even look, though. But he don't even look. I know. Brandon. Brandon, Jason Kidd, that's a dunk. He don't even look, though. But he don't even look. Brandon. Brandon, Jenny.

Starting point is 00:29:28 That's a... James Harden. Off the backboard. Like, he's a scorer. Trae Young. Off the backboard. You want us to keep going? Yeah, like, that's a traditional...

Starting point is 00:29:37 Look. But that's like right there, though. You can bounce in, Troy. Close your eyes. Whatever you need to do, dude. He can't be more open from right now till he get on the block. He can't be more open. I'm going to be honest.

Starting point is 00:29:52 I could have made that pass. Damn, you know I... That's usually me right there. With your left hand, though? Huh? With your left hand? This one, he can throw that motherfucker anywhere. There's no...

Starting point is 00:30:04 Up, down, to him. Look, you can no up down to him. You can throw it directly to him You can bounce it you can throw it up. You were supposed to look for And one two, yes, and then you got part like what 32 seconds Like that you got your three the hard way the hard way You need a three because you get going to get the ball back. It's 30 seconds now. Right. But even if he don't foul, you still got time to come back down.

Starting point is 00:30:32 You need a bucket right now. This possession here, you needed a bucket. You would be cussing. If you were the defender right now, you are cussing everybody out because of this dunk. Nobody wanted to be... No big down there wanted to be in this situation with certain guards.

Starting point is 00:30:53 We know if he's this open, you fucked up on the hard show. You fucked up. I think Jalen Brown is. No man's land. I'm off the glass right now. AJ Green't. Jalen Brown is. Jalen Brown is. No man's land. Yeah. I'm off the glass right now. I'm off the glass right there, to be honest.

Starting point is 00:31:07 AJ Green shooting 61% from three this season. You can throw, that's the fourth pass if you really want to get freaky with it. But the game is on. Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. AJ Green shooting 61% from three this season, but Torian Prince shooting 56% from three. I don't care.

Starting point is 00:31:19 I'm just telling, I'm giving you information. Wait, wait, wait. As a score, Dame only seeing what's in front of him. He want to see. I think, I think he got so excited. I think he got so excited that they didn't double. Yeah. Like, oh, shit! They forgot.

Starting point is 00:31:31 They wouldn't go double. Yeah. They wouldn't go double. They're not doubling him when Yanni's setting the screen with 36 seconds to go in the game, Gil. I got excited. The call was probably switch it. We're going to switch it.

Starting point is 00:31:44 That's what Drew Holiday did was switch it we're gonna if we're gonna switch it well, that's what what drew holiday did He was switching. They miss a score. He only passed it to what he could see in front of you. That's the problem That's up That's why this summer would have been very Your pick and roll knowing where you dump it in like even in practice right now, right? I y'all already know what y'all do by y'all selves. I'm just gonna... Listen.

Starting point is 00:32:07 No, no, no, no, no. Listen. No, if he was in his third year, I would give you that. If Dame Little was in his third or fourth year, I would give you that. But... I would give you that.

Starting point is 00:32:20 But he never had a Kenyan Martin. He never had the pass. I never have a Kenyan Martin. He's shooting for half court. You've been in... How many pick and rolls Dame Little has been in? Thousands. Give you but he never had a Have a Kenya Morris shoot You've been in how many pick-and-rolls they've learned to be in Thousands but I was in all 1000 of them. It was the same thing. You know Didn't want film You didn't been in films as you watch film. Oh damn. I could have made that I don't know

Starting point is 00:32:39 I've never had but I'm what I'm saying is I've never had so he ain't never self critiqued himself as which I'll tell him Forget I'm talking about he never self critique ain't never self-critiqued himself is what y'all telling me. Nah, for game. I'm talking about for game. He ain't never self-critiqued. He ain't never critiqued himself. In film session, be like, damn, I missed it. Damn, when I'm in that... Damn, I could have got him... Damn, he ain't never did that is what y'all telling me. Probably not. I'm talking about for game.

Starting point is 00:32:59 He been in the league too long, dog. I'm talking about for game. He been in it too long. Now think about it. I had Brendan Haywood in him, right? I had Brendan Haywood in him. So you not for you not to look at him, we understood. Yeah, okay. So he had a No, no. Then when I had to play with Dwight

Starting point is 00:33:13 and I'm doing my thing, I'm used to a certain way and then he was like, yo, and he sat me down. He's like, yo, when you do the pick and roll, this is what looks open. Yes. And I'm like, well, goddamn, never seen that before. So once he told me that, he said, if I go, woo, that means their body's not on me.

Starting point is 00:33:31 Just throw that shit. So let me ask you a question. This is your first year there with him? Yeah. I learned. I hear it. I learned fast. But I hear what you're saying.

Starting point is 00:33:40 They got too many games in already. True. No, no, no. This ain't the first. So no. But you've. No, no, no. Yeah, this ain't the first dog. So no, but no no No, no, no Do you think Giannis has told him this because I know you don't have to in that moment, bro I could just we got too many games. I'm the point guy. I just know I must say something up

Starting point is 00:33:56 But still they got too many. This is Now you got so now you so now which I was saying now I got a question is IQ You can't make a stupid name. So now what y'all saying, now I got a question, his IQ. Yeah. I got a question whether he's critiqued himself. It's a lot of shit that's right. He just missed it. He don't even miss. You don't even fuck miss. You can look

Starting point is 00:34:16 and be like, damn, I should've. No. No, man. And Yannis gotta get mad too, though. No, listen. His reaction, he did. You're going to have to tell, like... You got to tell the motherfucker. I might be one of those, like...

Starting point is 00:34:28 Man, it's over, man. That's what I said. I wouldn't have known... I wouldn't have known... Be up here... How open Dwight was until he gave me the signal. Yeah. Like, because I used to be like,

Starting point is 00:34:39 damn, how did... But I'm sure. How did Turk Lou see that? How did Jermaine Nelson see that? And then once he told me, like, yo, if you're driving and you hear me say, yo, like, the man's body is off of me,

Starting point is 00:34:50 just throw that bitch up. Yeah, so that's great. So you can see it in the playoffs. Like, before, I never threw a lob before. I never threw a lob to a player before. I'm with you. Until I got there. Now I'm sitting there yanking it up.

Starting point is 00:35:03 Yeah, you threw lobs before. Okay, that's... I'm talking about Dame. He got there. Now I'm sitting there yanking it up like, oh, I. Yeah, you threw lies before. OK, that's what. Huh? I'm talking about Dane. He threw lies before. True. He just ain't in Milwaukee no more, man. You're part of it.

Starting point is 00:35:11 He just not there no more, man. He had a 14, 15 point. He missed that motherfucker wide open. Passport's got to do it. Yeah, 14, 15 points. The thing is, do they even have a video or a picture of them working out together? No, they don't.

Starting point is 00:35:22 Like, you know, like. They have the concept of a plan to work out together. I told y'all, they may have been the same since he's been there. I hear all of what y'all saying, bro. But I still feel like I would tap in and be like, yo, I know who I'm playing with. If this is a young player,

Starting point is 00:35:36 I will give you that. He's an old player. I'm with you. Yes. James Harden changed his game. This is a little personal. You just got a new tattoo? Yeah. Okay, I've seen that. This is a little personal. You just got a new tattoo Yeah, okay. I seen that you got a passport

Starting point is 00:35:48 So you don't have a driver's license This is too much See that's the IQ. That's what you gotta see shit as a boy car I had to learn that's why see he got a new tattoo Right your ass got a passport means why you got a passport. You ain't about to leave the country, which means you don't have your driver's license. You never know when you might have to leave the country. I got to go overseas.

Starting point is 00:38:49 So after helping the Lakers secure a win against the Sixers Friday, Bronny James made his G League debut Saturday for the South Bay Lakers as they took on the Utah Stars. LeBron and family were in the building for Bronny's debut, which is one of the hottest tickets around the league. So according to reports, the average G League ticket price is around $17. But tickets for this game sold out in 24 hours or were reselling for as much as $200 on the secondary market Bronny is a big draw Bigger than most professional teams around the league, but Bronny played 31 minutes in the game

Starting point is 00:39:20 Finishing with six points forces three reb two steals, a block, but also have five turnovers. Two for nine from the field, missed all four of his three-point attempts. But hey, he out there, you know, doing his thing. And that's a little bit more than 17 people. They got bleachers. They got courtside. They got... Uh-. Maybe a little bit too tall for the... Uh-oh. There we go. Brontavious. So, undrafted rookie Quincy Oliveri led the squad with 28 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists.

Starting point is 00:39:54 20-23 second round picks. Maxwell Lewis had 27 and 5 boards. But it was the Bronny Show. Sold out 24 hours. Aura. Marketability. I like that pass, man. That's just like... That's a good lob pass. Yeah, just for like... Like a house, man.

Starting point is 00:40:09 I like the bones. I like the bones of what he could be, right? I just, I think the problem with Bronny's game, the biggest problem is he's not aggressive. And when you're not looking to score It becomes a problem a problem, right you you because you're looking it's like the Ben Simmons case, right? Yeah, right when you're looking to make passes you miss everything right if you just be ultra aggressive Like I'm looking to score you stop me then I make the pass

Starting point is 00:40:44 But if you sit here trying to make the pass but if you sit here trying to make a pass and the rim's right here and there's an oh it becomes a harder game like um like I like some of the things he does it's just sometimes it's just like you're already in your mind you're already trying to pass the ball that's not how that's not how you supposed to play the game it's not your game like when you look at the Jason Kidds, the Steve Nash, they're passers, but because they're so aggressive, like, I need to touch the paint here, I know where to pass. How they look at the game is still an aggressive look.

Starting point is 00:41:17 Like Chris Paul. His game is passive all the way around. Everything is secondary to him. Like, I'm going to pass first, shoot second. I'm going to shoot first, pass second. It's just this awkward thing. When he's supposed to shoot it, he passes. When he's supposed to pass it, he shoots it.

Starting point is 00:41:37 Played against the Raptors on Sunday. Got in the game about a minute 30 left. Should have got that bitch up, but he was so quick to look to pass. But after this G League game, Bronny was asked about the impact he could have in the game about a minute 30 left. He should have got that bitch up, but he was so quick to look to pass. But after this G League game, Bronny was asked about the impact he could have in the G League by helping raise visibility, had this to say. I've seen all the buzz and stuff from me going down to the G. I mean, to the G, not down, but, yeah, I mean,

Starting point is 00:42:01 it's just an amazing experience for me to go out and play my game and get some minutes under me. Yeah, I'm just excited for it. So should Bronny be using the G League as an opportunity to get more aggressive? I mean, he did take nine shots, but it was two for nine in the game. Yeah. Yeah. And I feel like he should play on the road.

Starting point is 00:42:21 Should he go on the road with them? Yeah, he should play on the road You're going the road with yeah, he should play on the road with him. I like his confidence in the G League, but God so yeah, we don't like this is the 56th pick 55 I mean, this is still like 55 Most marketable 55th pick we talk about the number one pick Who's number I call you recession? They're talking about the people they ever talked about. We do it here in Gil's Arena. Have you ever seen this? Have there ever been

Starting point is 00:42:49 a number one pick that nobody ever talked about? People don't want to talk about if he a bust or not. If you talk about Ronnie, is Ronnie a bust at the 50-50? Yeah. Because he's famous. And it's just like it.

Starting point is 00:43:05 But how you ever seen this? It's just like anything, right? The name itself is too big not to happen to your algorithm. Right? You can say, I want to put, you know, Zach or Shai, what is it? Shashay? Zachary Rees-Sachary. Zachary, like, you can put them in your title. If no one clicks that bitch, no one clicks it, right? This is still a Shashay? Zachary. Zachary. You can put them in your title.

Starting point is 00:43:27 If no one clicks that bitch, no one clicks it, right? This is still a business, right? You can sit here and talk about whoever the fuck you want to talk about. Is this the first time? No, this is the first time where someone's name is bigger than the game, right? And his name is too big not to talk about it on the good side or the bad side, right? If you were on YouTube, right, you're going to make money going against him or for him

Starting point is 00:43:55 because the views is going to come. So if you say, all right, let's put Shahshir's name in it, he had 30, and the fans are like, nobody give a fuck about dude in Atlanta. He had five turnovers. 100,000 people watched it. Shears name and he had 30 and the fans like nobody give a fuck about dude in Atlanta Turnovers a hundred thousand people watching you sitting like Of course, yeah, I would never do that on I can make some money on this just talking about what's trending in the basketball That's that's what it is, man. It's it's that it's the game like yeah, like his name is the algorithm like it or not I'm gonna change the game though

Starting point is 00:44:32 Two points one point a hundred because I read the tweet this and I it was the funniest shit out of I don't but somebody put Brani need to be in the G League if the G League had a G League dog the Joe That's called college. That was so fucking creative. If the G League had a G League, that's what he'd need to be. I said, wow. People are listening. Sit down and come up with this.

Starting point is 00:44:59 He does need to be more. To your point about clicks, just for a little frame of reference, we've talked about Cooper Flagg. We talked about Reese Ashea last week. We talked about Bronny. Here are the numbers from each of those videos. Reese Ashea got 56,000 views, solid. Cooper Flagg got 126,000 views.

Starting point is 00:45:20 And the Bronny video has 356,000 views right now. And again, we just do it to talk about big news. Hottest ticket around the league $200 Women lie, but when people numbers over there like when people like people Let's just say to people who don't like the ideal of them if you didn't like the idea or if it didn't benefit you Like on your page or anything you wouldn't't talk about it just like you don't talk about the other people that's in the second round. I can tell you right now, today, he's ranked 27th in most points scored as a rookie. And he has four. This season.

Starting point is 00:46:00 This season. So that means he's out with four points. He's outscored or tied. The draft was bad. Seven first-rounders. So he's got first-round scoring ability at this point, is how I would frame it. But because no one pays attention to no one else, like you're looking at, oh, man, this man is horrible. Alex Carr is supposed to be Wimby, I thought. They talk about Wimby. Alex Carr is supposed to be Wimby. But he doesn't have the name. The't have but he doesn't have the name like he's a French motherfucker. Nope

Starting point is 00:46:31 Like Ron James son just got drafted though. Listen. This is a number one pick I pulled to come in and change this shit LeBron LeBron James LeBron James, I just got drafted he's playing with his dad LeBron never seen son just got drafted and he's playing with his dad. LeBron James. You've never seen that before. That's big news. It is. If Michael Jordan's daughter right now went to the WNBA right now, she's going to be the biggest name. He'll be going with Kaitlyn Clark right now.

Starting point is 00:46:58 And we don't know what she'd look like, but it's just the name. You can't do nothing about the name. His name is famous. That you cannot. His name is famous. That you cannot. His name is famous, bro. Like we talked about last week. Right now, they can go 15-0. 15-0 and play the Warriors.

Starting point is 00:47:15 There can be a G League game going on, and Bronny got 10, guarantee you. That's the news. Well, my six-year-old, we went to the game on Friday. He was excited to see LeBron, of course, but he was equally excited that he met Bronny. For sure. Bronny's for the children. Yeah, for sure, yeah.

Starting point is 00:47:30 Household name. He knows who he is. He knows who he is. That's how big he is. That a six-year-old knows who he is. I told somebody, I wrote him, I said, yo, did you get your 2B? Did you get your 2B count?

Starting point is 00:47:44 I said, I just tuned in to 2B. About to watch Bronny James score about five points. Bronny on 2B. I know what I'm getting. Bronny's on 2B spectrum. You know what that's on 2B? Huh? That's on 2B. Game's on 2B. That's how you know it's legit.

Starting point is 00:47:58 Hey, watch, 2B. Wait, wait, nah, y'all bullshit. Dude, it's on 2B. G-League? G-League games are on 2B. Damn, that's crazy. Oh, you didn't bullshit. No, it's on Tubi. G-League? G-League games are on Tubi. Damn, that's crazy. I didn't know that. Oh, you didn't know where they were?

Starting point is 00:48:07 I was like, I hit you aside. Where the fuck you find these games? Yes, you did hit me, Gil. I had to go on. I said, where the fuck you find these games? I have spectacles. I didn't watch spectacles. Who be making money, dog?

Starting point is 00:48:16 Who's that Tubi? Uploading their movies when they phone on Tubi. Let me put this out there. Feel myself. Oh, I made a mistake. Let me put this out there. Let me put this out there. Oh, I made a movie. Let me put this out there. Let me put this out there. I'm seeing the stripper do a whole dance. Let me upload this Tubi.

Starting point is 00:48:31 Get a couple dollars. So, Brandon, you previously said you think Bronny should play home and road games. Yeah. And, Kenny, I don't think you were here with us last Thursday, but essentially what the Lakers' plan is with Bronny is just have him play home games in the G League, bounce back and forth between the JV Lakers and the varsity Lakers but you've also said previously the G League is a graveyard

Starting point is 00:48:52 can be detrimental to a player's development you agree with the Lakers only letting Bronny play home games in the G League why this is that I didn't think he should play down there no matter what. Yeah. But it'll be good for the G League for attendance, right? If they're trying to help him in that regard, it'll be good for him to go on the road to help with attendance. But I just think it's, he doesn't have bad habits as a basketball player. So I would hate for him to start to develop bad habits playing in the G League, trying to become that aggressive player that y'all say.

Starting point is 00:49:35 I get it, what y'all are saying, but at a detriment to he plays the game the right way. It's unfortunate, but it's fortunate that it's that with him. He's a winner. So what comes from it, I don't know. Does he need the experience? Absolutely. So it's... Did KJ play on there?

Starting point is 00:50:04 For a brief... For a few games. And what did he... Did he like the idea? Yeah, because he went down there and he played. Because they wanted him to go... Because him and Kevin Porter went down there together. They had just traded for Kevin Porter.

Starting point is 00:50:17 So KJ and Kevin Porter went down to a G League together. And I can look at the numbers now. KJ had played great like so he went down there with a goal and but it was only for a month maybe I think it was this man Kevin Porter was out for a while and got traded yeah played yeah yeah yeah so they went to the G League together and they went down there and destroyed the G League and went back and started playing right away. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:50:46 So it was a plan, right? For it to be that, yeah, for him to have the green light to go down there and just, like, go. Work on your, just go do you, right? Yeah. That needs to be the message, I believe. If he's going to do it, let that be the message. Let him go on the road then.

Starting point is 00:51:03 Let him help with attendance. Let him do that for the month or whatever it is it's going to do it, let that be the message. Let him go on the road then. Let him help with attendance. Let him do that for the month or whatever it is it's going to be. You never know where he's going to be coming at, right? Let's get him back, but I just think it's bad habits in the Michigan League. And our opposing team's going to treat him... He might need that roughness. No, what I'm saying is, like, the road...

Starting point is 00:51:22 Like, go up to the Warriors and, like... You know what I'm saying? Is the road built for his name No, I saw that last week. I like that Bronnie got first-class travel I was mistaken shout to my assignment who corrected me they travel with the team stay in the same hotels as the team so Pointed out some of those things. I don't have five star They got courtyard Marriott so let him experience he gonna his security gonna be there He got personal security so this cuz you know, he's not going anywhere with him without person. He didn't come to high school

Starting point is 00:51:55 Guaranteed money he good When I used to see the security at the basketball game right where he used to stand I used to be like Man, if you can't get from the stands to the court in time, you need to lose your job, Mr. Security Man. He used to be right behind the bench. I'd be like, dude, if you can't make it from the front row on the court, listen. I was thinking about the security, maybe like, you know, when they start, you know, just like when Caitlyn and all the publicity and, because like, you know, when they start, you know, just like when Caitlyn and all the publicity and... Because you got to remember, when he plays, it's not going to be all kids.

Starting point is 00:52:30 He has the kids, right? So it's not like they're the four C's. It's motels, six, whatever. I'm just exactly right. You know where it'll be at. The Bomber family. It's only one in certain of them, a lot of them cities they go into, there's only one hotel. One hotel, so they know where they gonna be.

Starting point is 00:52:46 It's a three star and that's where they staying, right? It's a bunch of work. Bring your lunch! Right, bring, you got a kitchen in every room. My mama gotta bring your lunch. You can make a three star or five star with the right mentality though. That's what I'm saying, just some of them,

Starting point is 00:52:59 like the Warriors, the Sacramento, they have them go play those. I like the idea. G-Le League level work. A lot of work. Yeah, it's worth it. Like one thing I do like, and I will keep him down there, is I'll say, you know, Quincy is an older kid.

Starting point is 00:53:18 He's, you know, 50 or senior. He has an aggressive mind, right? He understands the game. Now, my decision on do I want to keep him around him or do I want to keep him around D'Lo, right, at this moment in time? What player do I think he's gonna grow from? And I think at this point in time, it will probably be a player like Quincy

Starting point is 00:53:45 right because he's hungry he's happy he's gonna go hard D'Lo he's a pro pro I don't think him watching D'Lo right now on how D'Lo approaches the game will be yeah like it's two different type of players like this is you think he's watching D-Lo? No, you're watching the point guards. You're trying to learn from the point guards. I think he's learning from his dad. Even, I don't want to learn from the 40-year-old.

Starting point is 00:54:13 What am I learning from a 40-year-old? At this point in time, I'm not learning what got the 40-year-old to his 40th year. I want to see what LeBron was doing his first year, his second year. That's the guy. The guy who's coming in and, okay, you got to take 100 sides, there's 100 sidesteps, no movement. I don't need him to learn that. See, I disagree with you in that matter, right?

Starting point is 00:54:33 And that's why I said from the beginning, him going down to the G League is a waste because no matter if LeBron is 40 or not, it's still learning, I got to be there early, I got to work this way, I got to do these things, I got to eat this way, I got to behave this way, I got to say these things, right? So, from home

Starting point is 00:54:54 though, but you get it in the work environment. You get it from the best to ever do it, for one of the best organizations there is, and you learn it in real time, you're not getting that from Quincy. You're not, because Quincy ain't never been that.

Starting point is 00:55:11 No, what I'm getting is the outside of the cage, you got to hunt for your own food style. Like, think about a Laker practice with the guys they have. You're not really doing much half the time. You're not competing. You're not, you know, like, have you seen, like, the videos of them, how they work out? Right? He looks, he's going as fast as his pops going.

Starting point is 00:55:33 But the guys that's not playing, they got player development dudes. Them dudes go hard, dude. They go hard. Yeah. Go ask Dante Jones. Yo, ask Dante Jones about them dudes. They don't play around. They don't play around.

Starting point is 00:55:43 They want you to be active They got enough young guys They got enough young guys. They practice dad. You got Austin Austin Reeves practice Okay, Gabe Vincent practicing. All them dudes, I'm just saying, it's NBA, but they going hard against each other. A bunch of dudes that's going to be running around taking cardio. Gabe Vincent. But they going hard against one another in practice.

Starting point is 00:56:13 It ain't no... Them dudes going hard, so you're not benefiting from Bron being in practice. You're not benefiting from AD being in practice. You're not benefiting from those guys being in practice. So they might do certain things. You know how it is. You might do certain things. Unless you got a dude like Melo, who it don't matter

Starting point is 00:56:30 who you put in front of him. Rookie, 10th year, 4th year, 8th year, he wants your scalp, right? I don't see that from AD. I don't see that from Braun at this point. So, them other dudes that's really practicing.

Starting point is 00:56:46 Them dudes practicing, that's what this point. So them other dudes that's really practicing, them dudes practicing, that's what I like. That's what I'm saying. So they going hard. And the player development dudes, so the Phil Braun spot is a player development dude. The Phil AD spot

Starting point is 00:56:55 is a player development dude. So now you got 10 guys where them dudes like, hey, we trying to get something out of this. And they going. Yeah. They was just like when I see them on video and I'm like your dad if you learn from anybody don't work out with you

Starting point is 00:57:10 I will learn from brother. I work out with you, but I'm like something just saying don't work out with your pops because his speed is Not your speed. He's to have 20 years of understanding his feet. You don't know your speed true, right? So I'm out it but what I'm saying is you don't know his speed yet. But correcting it though in real time he knew what it was when he was 20 years old. Bruh. You gotta come off like so he gonna tell like hey that ain't it. Right? You gotta do it. So being able to

Starting point is 00:57:35 correct it in real time is better coming from him than Quincy. You gotta see what you got. Bruh 22 years. And being happy. But that's what I'm saying but no cheat. Like it's's still fixing the same room. It's like working out with your... I ain't gonna be the only one paying. I didn't say nothing.

Starting point is 00:57:51 Yes, you did. I said he don't cheat. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like, LeBron ain't got a cheat. You know that? Yes, yes, absolutely. No, like, okay. Yes, I did.

Starting point is 00:57:59 No, no, like, yes, you did. I owe Hunter, you owe Hunter. I'm snitching. Like your son, right? Yes. Like your son watching you work out your first two years versus the style you worked out when you was on the Knicks or the Bucs. Very two different type of workouts. And I'm saying as a young kid, I would rather him work out with you, the early you.

Starting point is 00:58:21 Absolutely. Because it's 1,000% the whole time. You don't know what resting or taking this playoff or not. And I'm saying when I watch him work out with the people around him, they are real veterans that know how to cheat a practice and all that. I want to be a guy who don't know nothing and let them just... I understand. Like if you played against Quincy and If he played against Quincy every day and played against D'Lo who was gonna give him that work. Yeah, I'm with every day Quincy gonna try to tear his head off

Starting point is 00:58:52 He needs to learn. I'm with you in there Like that, huh? like that You don't think LeBron know what to do from from just why he Got so the match this game, to match this gift, you trained Elijah, right? You know when he going, he can go, his speed ain't what it should be.

Starting point is 00:59:14 You can correct it without showing it. Mm-hmm. Same thing. Same thing. He been playing 22 years. Same thing. Barely had any serious injuries. And he's actually still out there with him, right?

Starting point is 00:59:25 He done seen his daddy spend a million dollars on his body. Like, he can implement certain things. But if you, like, that's what I'm saying. If you look at the visual and he's working with his dad, they both look like they're 40. Weight room. No, what I'm saying is they both look like they're 40. No, man, no.

Starting point is 00:59:38 No, when I'm watching. What, are you talking about, like, clips? No, yeah, when you watch a workout and they, like, pulling up and taking the shots or, going to have touching half court and coming back he's he's the way that's own he's working the same speed That's what was working him out. Yeah, correct it You gotta learn how to get your game speed That's what trainer and bronze tell him in a moment. That's what the trainer and Bron to tell him in the moment.

Starting point is 01:00:05 Yeah, I'm about to say, that's what I know. You got to go off that pick and roll like high level. Hey, what you doing, bro? That ain't game speed. Yeah, yeah. You think you're going hard now. You ain't going hard yet, bro. You can correct it in real time. I was like, he has his practice speed down pat. You put him through practice, he going to hit all them shots.

Starting point is 01:00:22 He don't have his game speed to where the adrenaline kicks in because you're playing against Curry now. That's a whole different level. You got to over-exaggerate that in practice. We asked the chat. We asked the chat. I got too many whoopings. Too nice.

Starting point is 01:00:35 So what if we got drafted to somewhere else? If a nice kid is a well-mannered kid, is that raising the kid? Being able to work with Kyrie and all those guys. Because him getting drafted to the Lakers, This is what you're gonna get like it Yeah, like so like for his development. That's what that's for a baby. He's off for like he's protected in. Yeah Yeah, this part of it. You can write like you can make all that's great. But the game style. Mm-hmm I would say put him put him with curry

Starting point is 01:01:03 Right because you know curry and practice is 1,000%. He's going a certain way. Even a 50% Curry will be way better than the Laker guards on how they move. Put him in Miami, that's a whole different style. He needs that part of it. The off-the-court stuff, I wouldn't worry about him off the court. He's going to live with his daddy for fucking 18, 20 years. So he knows how to be a professional.

Starting point is 01:01:26 He knows all that. The game style and understand how to approach that, he needs to be around dogs. And everything is being too sheltered. You can't just turn on a dog. He's been sheltered all his life. You can't just turn the switch on with a dog in a day. A week, oh, a dog. No, motherfucker, that shit ain't going to happen.

Starting point is 01:01:43 You got to train the mind for some shit like that. But you got to... Hey, you put a pussycat in jail, it becomes a little fierce. Oh, hell no. It becomes a little fierce. It learns some shit. All right.

Starting point is 01:01:56 Or you hold on to somebody's back pocket. Huh? Or you hold on to somebody's back pocket and just walk around. Head down like a motherfucker like this. True. But when you get back in the streets What's the stories like yeah? I was I was just I was So we asked the chair should Ronnie play

Starting point is 01:02:14 I don't know how we got to where we got to but say we always do your body play road games in the G League 77% said yes So let's keep it moving Brownie was back in action with the Varsity Lakers on Sunday night as they took on the Eastern Conference juggernaut adjacent Raptors in their final meeting of the season. So LeBron continued to defy father time,

Starting point is 01:02:36 finishing with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and a season high, 16 assists. It was his second straight triple-double, 115th in his career. LeBron is now the oldest player in NBA history with back-to-back triple-doubles. Who was guarding him just now? I don't know. Who was guarding him?

Starting point is 01:02:51 Grady. I'll let you say his last name. Grady was guarding him at that point. Grady? Grady Richard. Grady Richard. Six Lakers scored in double figures, but the squad got some unfortunate news as AD left the game in the third quarter after getting poked in the eye

Starting point is 01:03:05 by Jacopoto. We'll get to that in a second. But let's watch. Oh, they're live. There it is. You see it. Who's out there on the floor, bro? Ooh, see that? There we go, Lakers. That's what I'm talking about. Those are kind of...

Starting point is 01:03:21 Look at the four people that was on the floor. I guarantee you can't name nobody on Toronto's team but Barnes. Yeah, I don't know none of them. NBA players, none of them. Under contract. That's what y'all missing. That right there. Turn it again.

Starting point is 01:03:39 Turn it again. Show that last... Just the last one. Guys, you know we got to... Look at this team. Now go to the last one. But look, guys, you know we got to. Look at this thing. Now go to the last one. Look how he jumped at the ball just now. What did I last pick?

Starting point is 01:03:51 He jumped with two feet, knees in the air, two feet. Like, shit, even that. The lob. Right here. Like, those are the plays, those screen back, those are the plays that the Bucs themselves is missing. Right?

Starting point is 01:04:09 Same thing that we was having problems with. But who gonna make that pass for us? Who? Giannis, Dame, anybody. Lopez? Giannis, like... I mean, Giannis, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. What I'm saying is, if you don't, if the defense is not, if they're not being challenged, right?

Starting point is 01:04:26 And I can just sit and look at you all day, and you're not going to do nothing besides sit in the corner. It's harder for the star to do things. But the fact, like, this backdoor just happened, they scored. Next time Bron decides to go, nobody's there because they're worried about the guy.

Starting point is 01:04:39 You have to be able to move from the corner. You can't be corner... You just can't be sitting in the corner. Be corner baseline type of thing. Lopez not guarding nobody on that pick and roll. If you in the pick and roll with Lopez,

Starting point is 01:04:49 you go at him all day. Dame can't play defense and you got Lopez. I'm talking about offense. I'm talking about offense. No, what I'm saying is... No, what I'm saying is... Lopez old as fuck.

Starting point is 01:04:58 No, what I'm saying is... No, what I'm saying is like... Can't Lopez guard them? We ain't... Who's talking about defense? He has to have to guard him. Who's talking about defense they got to do? Oh offensive

Starting point is 01:05:16 God damn, you just want all you are you upset? That's not the problem. Would you like to talk about defense Nick? God damn those quarter. You want to make an argument just argue right now? I'm the knowledge do you want to make all just make an argument right now? We're talking about offense. God damn I'm just like if Lopez when they go set a screen and I say you want to argue right now? Hey, Brother Knowledge. Do you want to make an argument right now? We're talking about offense. God damn. I'm just saying, if Lopez is going to go to the screen and the guy... Just say you want to argue. Yeah, like with Torian Prince. Just say you want to argue.

Starting point is 01:05:31 If you want to agree with him, just say you want to argue. Torian Prince and all of them, instead of just sitting in the corner and your guy just sitting there, you need to make cuts like that

Starting point is 01:05:39 so y'all can get easy passes, easy buckets. A lot of teams don't do that. Just move. They'll just be sitting in the corner just waiting like, no, y'all got to move. Make some easy cuts like this. Make them easy buckets. A lot of teams don't do that. Just move. They'll just be sitting in the corner just waiting like, no, y'all got to move, make some easy cuts like this. Make them easy cuts, make them

Starting point is 01:05:50 passes. That's like, everyone adopted the Steph Curry Golden State shooting threes but did not adapt the movement that gets those threes. Like, y'all want to be Steph Curry and Klay, but nobody moves like that or

Starting point is 01:06:05 in shape like that right no one move like Steph is not just sitting in the corner class just not sitting in the corner waiting for three they're sitting there running around baseline to baseline cut and curl and moving passing that's what made go and state then don't take the 53 slope hands not running around nobody said right well but he can set the book for you to curl he can pop he can set the pick. Ray Bun runs around to get the motherfuckers going. But he can set the pick for you to curl. He can pop. He can make the back door.

Starting point is 01:06:28 Like, those are the things that Lopez can do for you. No, he can't. He's a big brick, right? Use the big brick. He's an old brick. Yo! Done. Set the pick.

Starting point is 01:06:36 Watch this. Run around. Come back. Step around. Run around like that's... Won't have no type of players. You can't be carrying them to fucking Gary Trent and goddamn Tayshaun. They had bricks.

Starting point is 01:06:46 Torian Prince. They had bricks before. They knew how to use them bricks, is all I'm saying. Well, let's shift it back to the Los Angeles Lakers. Los Angeles. 35-0 to lead right now. We got five dudes. All 35-0.

Starting point is 01:07:01 So with the win, the Lakers are now 6-4 after their first 10 games. Gil, you said they would be 8-2 three or five and five. Uh-huh. They have defied the odds six or four How would you grade the Lakers as a team so far this season? Ron James is a very good basketball player He is a portion of the leg I watched that shit last night We got the game ready. No, I know I just see Ruka six and at the game, Brandon? No, I'm not. Six and four? AD dunked on a motherfucker, too. I thought it was going to be better.

Starting point is 01:07:33 A C. Average. I'm going to just be honest. You know, the seven. They choose the A and then the B, and then I feel we got a C. Cs get degrees, as they say. It's a C+, because I'm kind of liking what I'm seeing.

Starting point is 01:07:50 Like, you know, the coaching's a little bit better, right? He is passionate. Even from somebody like D-Lo, right? He benches D-Lo. They have a conversation, and when you hear D-Lo talk about the IQ, the message, you know, just trying to break some of the old bad habits, it's like, okay, it's still a positive thing. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:08:10 Right? So it's a positive six and four. So speaking of positive, Brandon, would you mind showing us the shirt you have under your Gills Arena sweatshirt? It is the purple and gold Gills Arena Laker edition. Season three merch, Brandon. Every day, every day getting closer and closer. It is the purple and gold gills arena Laker edition These are three first branded Every day every day getting closer and close. Whoa The latest I've been in and I didn't know 40% the lake

Starting point is 01:08:38 Brian and Brian Marked up I'm out of here. Bull Christ, Lakers. Just like Ronnie P. Lee tickets are marked up in the resale market. That buck shit, you didn't get an egg. Time to go. Buy one, get three free. That type of shit. Bulk deals right there. But every day we see you getting closer to coming back to the Lakers family.

Starting point is 01:08:59 Lakers stuff, the value, god damn it. All you fuckers, what I reckon is them front row tickets, $12,000. That's a fact. That is true. With soccer in the lineup, they were still hitting. Did not matter. They were still, you were still getting hit over the head. Y'all sorry ass team was there. $12,000. Like, ah, damn.

Starting point is 01:09:16 We was excited, motherfuckers. Y'all was exciting. Yes, y'all was. Kenya, how would you grade the Lakers season so far? Six and four. Undefeated at home. One and four on the road. Yeah, that's the issue, but... We got 41 home games.

Starting point is 01:09:31 Six and four, hey. Like Gil said, it's all right. Anthony Davis is playing well. Hopefully he can continue his play, but... No, I... I saw him live. I wasn't impressed. You were not impressed?

Starting point is 01:09:48 No. You were there Friday. We saw... Yeah. We saw you courtside getting it in. Yeah, so... All right. LeBron is really good still.

Starting point is 01:09:59 We did not see him leak, bro. He's smarter than a lot of these basketball players out here, so... Yes, yes. It's evident, like, that he is much smarter than these guys, so he's able to manipulate and be who he needs to be in order to help his team win. So he's picking spots. Still relying on the pass, which is good.

Starting point is 01:10:20 So no, they'll be all right, man. I don't know what they're... They're going to be flirting know what they're I could They don't be flirting with what they were man again, I just was great Okay, you see plus higher If you was five five it would be as like a regular see but you're 6'4", you have a winning record, so it's a C+.

Starting point is 01:10:47 A winning team in the NBA. Absolutely. At this point, hey. Their energy is better this year to me. At this point, yeah, no. Energy, it don't look like downspirit. Yeah, their energy is so much better. They just got to figure out how to win on the road.

Starting point is 01:10:59 Like I said, I was there, and hold on. Wonderboy, I guess he must don't watch film much or he didn't know who he was trying to dunk on. He got his shit beat up with two hands. Ooh. How he get it beat up? With two hands? Oh, KJ came to that motherfucker.

Starting point is 01:11:14 Listen, man. He tried to dunk on KJ. He got his shit blocked with both hands at the rim. He had them like this? We did see you coincide that together. Do we do it like this? I don't touch him like that. Until you put lotion on your hands, you can't put your hands up to me.

Starting point is 01:11:30 He put his hands on you. Listen, you better not touch him with your ass and his hands. Don't you touch me with them leather face and the leather shirt. You better not touch me with them leather gloves you got on. Where your shirt go? Hey, you better not touch me with them leather gloves, I tell you right now. Man, nigga, I appreciate your love of quality cinema. Hey, don't you reference them. You better not touch me with them leather gloves. I tell you right now. Man, nigga, I appreciate your love of quality cinema. Hey, don't you reference, you better not.

Starting point is 01:11:50 So we saw you, Corsod, sitting with Cash, but we did not see ourselves sitting near you. So just letting you know, a little hurt. I'm sorry, that ticket was free. Okay, in that case. Free, you know, therefore. Could have been like both of our nomskin, but. Hey, free. There are four. Could have been like both of our, no, I'm just kidding. Hey, hey. So, Brandon, what grade would you give your former favorite team,

Starting point is 01:12:11 soon to be your favorite team again, the Los Angeles Lakers of LA? Yeah, I'm going to go with Ken, like a C+. I mean, JJ's first years, you know, first 10 games, 6-4. I mean, you always want to at least be on the positive side of that. We've seen the other side of that in Lakers next year. But I've been to Lakers games a couple games. Shout out to Underdog. Their energy is just different.

Starting point is 01:12:30 Like, you know, they play with a lot more energy this year. Nick, what grade are you giving the Lakers right now? The Lakers, A+. Good to see you. A+. Great on the curve. A, A. L-A-U-S-D. No to see you. A-plus. Great on the curve. A, A. L-A-U-S-D.

Starting point is 01:12:48 No, I get A. I ain't going to give him A-plus. He lost to Detroit. You're supposed to beat Detroit. Tough guy. You're supposed to beat Detroit. Unfortunate circumstances. Chad Cunningham.

Starting point is 01:12:57 We doing what we supposed to do. You know, we lost to Cleveland and they undefeated. I think his mother named him Cade. I think. Cade? Cade Cunningham. LeBron. Cade, Chad. Cade, Yeah, you couldn't hit my number. LeBron. Cade, Chad.

Starting point is 01:13:06 Cade, Chad. That's all. We get it. LeBron is probably top three best power fours in the league right now. And that's easy. He's out there playing like Paul Millsap in his prime. I mean, he's balling. Pick a road, shoot a three, six, nine, running back.

Starting point is 01:13:25 Think about it. He's a power four. He went from a point to the three to the four. 6'9", 260, could dribble. What power four could do that now? It's going to be easy nights except for KD and goddamn, like, Julius Randle and shit like that. But other hand, you're playing against somebody we don't know.

Starting point is 01:13:46 It's somebody with dreads. You said name. Richard. He's playing against Toronto. Toronto named Richardson. He got dreads. A tough. Think about it.

Starting point is 01:13:56 A tough adjacent Eastern Conference team. Name another power forward doing that. You got KD. You named him. I said top three. I said top three. But he only ran it in to people like that.

Starting point is 01:14:09 KD was a three. Now he played a four. I think that's what helped them be the older guys that they just switched your position. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:14:17 Who going to guard KD out there? Because ain't nobody posting up no more. They ain't got to guard real fours. Right? Everything is a stretch now.

Starting point is 01:14:24 Everything is a stretch. So we asked the chat, what grade do you give the Lakers season so far? Gave them the choices A, B, C, or F. No Ds. But 51% gave them a C. 36% gave them a B. 5% gave them an A. And 8% gave them an F, though.

Starting point is 01:14:39 8%? 8%. That's just people who hate LeBron. We should rank all our teams. That's just people who hate LeBron. We should rank all our teams. We should rank all our teams. They brought D'Lo off the bench. I think that was nice. We're going to talk D'Lo in a second, but let's hit AD first. He didn't fit out there like that.

Starting point is 01:14:55 So we're going to hit D'Lo in a second, but let's shift to AD, who suffered his second corneal abrasion since March on this play right here. Great defensive effort. Went up. Blocked Yago Poto. Hand to the grill. He had to leave the game. Oh, God.

Starting point is 01:15:13 That's why they hit my... AD has suffered a few eye injuries throughout his career and has worn protective eyewear in the past, but time for AD to start rocking goggles full-time like Kareem. Yeah, man. You got to protect them eyes, man. The vision is important. I mean, anything to keep them on the court,

Starting point is 01:15:27 because yesterday I had them on under. I know. He ain't hit. I know. That's crazy. We know it's important. I could have blocked that. I'm not a shot blocker, but how often did you get hit

Starting point is 01:15:39 in your face blocking shots? Not often. Probably never. Yeah, because you tried the idea as to don't. Ever. Like, I'm trying to figure out, like, how do you get hit in the eye so much? Oh, man.

Starting point is 01:15:58 He just didn't want to play, man. Just go back. Go back, yeah. Can we queue up that play one more game? Anthony Davis has long arms. He don't really jump. Look how high he is off the floor. Look how high he is off the floor.

Starting point is 01:16:12 But look, he don't really jump. So he's still in, okay. He's still in harm's way. Poto tried to sun him. Like, if he jumped, he got really long arms. He's not that high off the floor, so he's... And, dude, harm is out, too. That's an abnormal position to try to...

Starting point is 01:16:35 Right? Yeah, I don't know what that is. He's trying to put it... Yeah, but it's an awkward position for his hand to be in offensively, but Anthony Davis doesn't, for that to continue to happen to him on those plays until he's not jumping. Yeah, he's like, okay. I'm higher than you. When I jump, I'm jumping higher than you.

Starting point is 01:16:57 Maybe Biggs. You know what I'm saying? When somebody's jumping, they're so like, I got to jump the block. Bigs are clumsy anyway. Bigs are just big clumsy motherfuckers. Man, I was just wondering. I was just wondering. Huh?

Starting point is 01:17:12 Who? Look at him. Who you speak of? Who you speak of? I'm just saying he jumping like this. Who jumps like this? I'm with you. I hear you.

Starting point is 01:17:19 I hear you. It's just big clumsy motherfuckers. I was just... So why you got to be y'all though? No, no, no, no, no. When you... Listen, don't include me. I would never do such a thing clumsy mother fucker. I'll just... So why you got to be y'all though? Yeah, why you got to be... No, no, no, no, no, no. Like when you... Listen, don't include me in this. I would never do such a thing like that, brother.

Starting point is 01:17:29 All right. Brother, brother, brother, brother. Choose your words wisely. Choose your words wisely. Brother, brother, brother. All right. So I'm telling you right now, if he jump on you, I'm looking the other way.

Starting point is 01:17:39 For real? Yeah. Wow. Okay. We brothers. He ain't gonna get the good? Huh? He ain't gonna to get the gun? Huh? He ain't going to get the gun.

Starting point is 01:17:45 I'm going to walk slow. Yeah. I'm going to walk slow. You know what I mean? That's crazy. He ain't going to be here. Get up off of him. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:17:52 What he look like? Oh, you going to pull a gun on me? Just snap my dick. Like, no. You think they only made one? So, brother, right? He ain't got nothing but those tiny ass white pants. You got to run to the car.

Starting point is 01:18:03 We got our shit right here, then. Our shit in the seat, right there, tucked in, just in case you bust a move. No, he got to go upstairs. Just in case you sit. He got to go upstairs. Just in case you sit. Right there.

Starting point is 01:18:14 He got to go upstairs. No weapons in the arena. And obviously, my knee, I ain't getting up there too fast. He ain't going too fast. I guarantee I'll be in that car back here before he get upstairs and back down here. Well, let's put that theory to work. We're going to have a race right now.

Starting point is 01:18:24 We got our... We both done, so since you're the one who started want who started all on you. No, but don't be y'all take care of family That's all you know y'all including that That's another go bird go bird do some stupid shit like that Go Burt. One leg, bro. Just dumb jumping, motherfucker. Throw your whole body at the ball. Block everything. Go Burt. We asked a chat of AD, should switch to the goggles, 83%. Say yes. You guys talked about D-Lo before.

Starting point is 01:18:55 Let's hit D-Lo a little bit. So let me. Name some cool big jumpers, big niggas, big dudes. So you got this area that just. Name some big cool dudes? Yeah, that's like a cool Who's disgusting cool? No pulse? Oh, but name somebody that's a school big that jump like with finesse and know what I'm said I've never seen somebody get hit being a big jumping and blocking shots getting hit eyes

Starting point is 01:19:19 But that makes sense that he don't not a big Marcus can be in them. I got nothing about Marcus but I'm never what I'm saying is I've never seen people get hit in the eye so often and then that makes sense that he Doesn't jump so he's still in harm's way Most guys jump over like you you jump high enough where someone's hand won't hit you in the face Unless somebody's literally like think about we're literally trying to do this and I've never seen someone get hit in the face like that. And I used to tell Marcus Campbell he would block more shots if he jumped straight up. He used to try to swing and MC was like swatting that shit. I was like dude

Starting point is 01:19:55 jump straight up you'll block way more shots. You just go from here to there who getting that over that? Yeah. Let's shift over. You say you're not big, so you're not included in the y'all. But you're looking at me. Motherfuckers. You say you're not a big. You included me. But where I'm supposed to look?

Starting point is 01:20:15 Look straight. Look straight. Okay, I'm looking that way. Y'all talked about D'Lo earlier. Lakers had the worst scoring bench in the league to start the season. But J.J. Redick moved D'Lo out of the starting lineup after some poor play. It's proven beneficial to both D'Lo and the team. In the eight games D'Lo started, he was averaging 12.6 assists and two rebounds

Starting point is 01:20:33 with 38-29-94 shooting splits. In the last two games with him coming off the bench, he's averaging 17 points, two rebounds, two assists with 52-39-67 shooting splits. Only taking a couple free throws in that window. but you like the Lakers bringing D'Lo off the bench? Yeah, he going to be doing that. You liked him as a starter last year. He better coming off the bench this year.

Starting point is 01:20:54 He going to. Who's their point guard? I'm trying to get my check, Gil, all right? LeBron James. 15 minutes away. They still need a point guard. LeBron James, they point guard. If they could get something for D'Lo, I wouldn't be mad at that.

Starting point is 01:21:06 They got to get something. Hmm? They got to get something. They can get what? Something for D'Lo. Who? Somebody. What?

Starting point is 01:21:14 Whatever else. When? Whenever they can. Who? How? How? Just put them out there. Just say, yo, D'Lo's available.

Starting point is 01:21:22 Man, please. Just say D'Lo's available. And they going to go watch the film and be like, nah, we good. So how many games you came off the bench? Just two. Average 17 so far. Okay, so the only problem I have with that is you're just trying to manipulate. Yeah. You're just trying to manipulate it.

Starting point is 01:21:38 So they were ranked what in the bench? Worst scoring bench in the league. So they were 30th. Correct. Right? Okay, so they were 30th. And what was the starting five? Hmm? What was the starting. So they were 30th? Correct. Right, okay. So they were 30th. And what was the starting five? Hmm?

Starting point is 01:21:47 What was the starting five? In terms of what? Where were they ranked? In scoring. In scoring. Because what happens is you're going to take a starter out who contributes to that.

Starting point is 01:21:54 No, that's going to be the second half. So this one go up, oh yeah, but this one goes down because who you're replacing them for, Cam?

Starting point is 01:22:01 Cam Reddish. Woo! So his three... Defensive juggernaut. His three and his 11. That's 14 divided by two. He's averaging seven. What did D'Lo average?

Starting point is 01:22:12 D'Lo... Maybe it's not about the... Before... 12. So that means they lose five points. So they... Or they just get it... Maybe it's about the...

Starting point is 01:22:19 Or they just get it... So then LeBron gonna have to go... They just get it. Now LeBron gotta do more. In the starting five, which he really, like... D-Lo was in no man's land. Right, that's what I'm saying. So I'm gonna bring Cam, because Cam gonna play D?

Starting point is 01:22:31 Cam gonna do the other thing. He didn't even look happy or nothing. No, no, I get it. Like, it was like when the Clippers had their best four players, right? D-Lo looked like he'd be having parties. You got two of them who averaged 18 and 18 coming off the bench. And then you're like, oh, they got the number one bench in the league. Yeah, they starting five is some shit, though.

Starting point is 01:22:53 But you know, as a coach, it's going to be very rare for someone to get out 15 and 2 on you, right? Starting the game off. So you can play the first six minutes, and you have Zubach, Patrick, Beverly, and was it Moe? Who's the heart? Harkless. Harkless. You got them three starting. Together, they average nine, right?

Starting point is 01:23:09 All three of them average nine. You got Lou and Trez. You got Lou and Trez coming off the bench, you know, at the six-minute mark. You know what I mean? You sub a man and it's a good game. And if it do get crazy, 10-0. You two sub in at the 10-minute mark, right? So it's just trying to trick the system to make your team look better than what it is.

Starting point is 01:23:27 Well, nonetheless, it will be. Ty, he needs it. I mean, but he needs to come off the bench. Like, come off the bench and you get to shoot whatever you shoot. You get to come off the bench, shoot, and then you finish the game. Yeah, it makes sense. He tired of that.

Starting point is 01:23:38 It's easy to... He tired of when he missed shots. People are like, man, get this snitching ass nigga out of the game. He tired of that. No one says that. He tired of that. No one says that. You're tired of that. No one says that.

Starting point is 01:23:47 There's only one person who says that. When he makes shots, y'all be like, okay, he cool. I'll give him a pass. When he makes shots, y'all be like, I'll give him a pass. But when he on some bullshit, y'all be like, man, straight. I think it just don't matter what he do. That's what I'm saying. He's got to just lead.

Starting point is 01:24:02 At this point. Hey, man, stop calling him a snitch, man. Little D-Lo, I get it. Stop calling him a snitch man little deal The sick we even He did This nothing nothing brother I never actually yeah, why you didn't beat him up Cuz Nick King fight. No, I don't get sneaking. No. No, no What you can sneak him and get the other hand why didn't you beat him up You can sneak him and get the upper hand. Why didn't you beat him up?

Starting point is 01:24:25 That's the honest question. Why didn't you beat him up for snitching? Yeah, go ahead and tell us. I'm going to tell you what. I know this is off topic, but I really, I've always wanted to know this. Let's see how he become a victim. No, no, they can't become a victim. The fucking, Miss Kupchak told me, don't come to the arena. Don't come to practice, none of that.

Starting point is 01:24:44 If you do anything, you're going to take your money and all that. But they were going to fine you, don't come to practice, none of that. If you do anything, we're going to take your money and all that. But they were going to fine you or they were going to take your contract? Like which one was it? I don't know. They said, we're going to take some money from you. Some? Okay. And then when I got there, it was security there. All around there, all around the box.

Starting point is 01:25:02 So I couldn't get a chance to. And by the time, after this, once I see it on the next season, it was... I died down then. So, this happened at the end of the season? Yeah, it was the end of the season. Rouse game? No, I wasn't at the arena for two games. It was, like, the last three games.

Starting point is 01:25:19 I came to the Kobe 60-point game. So, what happened... When did that incident happen? That week, motherfucker. He filmed it that week? Yeah. No, when did he film it? Oh, prior week to that.

Starting point is 01:25:34 He would have had to whoop me. Well, you know what? He would have had to show me, dog. He got you a ring? I don't give a fuck. It was already trying to kick me out there. I'm like so so that was so how many Question I got it so so so no it's on there wouldn't have been that wouldn't happen So magic question so was did you have more years on your contract after that with them? Yeah

Starting point is 01:26:00 Well boy, that was what was your play option? Yeah, I'll do what Tim Or he would have to whoop me wanted to Yeah, one more. I was one more. Was your player option? Yeah. I would've whooped him. Or he would have to whoop me one of the two. He would have to prove it to me, because I would've called him coming out the exit meeting or something. Yo. I would've been, no, it's just something. Who room was y'all in? So you didn't say nothing to him? You didn't confront him?

Starting point is 01:26:18 Yeah. From late morning? King, there's more to the story. Who room y'all was in? From a distance. Who room was y'all in? They had a little team meeting and shit. You got it. Like, the third week.

Starting point is 01:26:28 But it was like a lot. It was security and shit in there. Security and shit. Yeah, I get that. Fuck all that. And then this cup shit, the owner. No, no, fuck all that. It was a lot.

Starting point is 01:26:37 So did y'all play against each other again? Did you play? You're asking the wrong questions, King. Yeah. I'm just fucking curious. They was best friends. Now, what room was y'all in? That was his rug.

Starting point is 01:26:48 What y'all doing together? Nick, what? For him to be recording all the time. How many times, how many videos you got of him? I got little videos of him. How many videos you had of him? Y'all just recorded. This is what y'all did, huh?

Starting point is 01:26:59 Hell no, this ain't what we did. Talking business. So you said, what again? Huh? You didn't do that? Wow. Do you know the thin line between love and hate, motherfuckers?

Starting point is 01:27:08 Do you know not to put shit on the internet? I remember you two back then. That's what I know, huh? No, no, don't try to make this shit nice. Don't try to make it look. That was the thing they did. No. The thing.

Starting point is 01:27:18 Have you ever seen me out here snitching on a motherfucker? Let's say you be talking some shit. No, you probably shouldn't be. That's what I'm saying. No, no. What they did is fake. The only thing that pissed me off about it is that he, you took up for him twice. No, say y'all be talking some shit. Yeah. Y'all be talking some shit. No, you probably took it to yourself. No, no. The only thing that pissed me off about it is that you took up for him twice. No, say y'all be talking some shit.

Starting point is 01:27:27 Yeah. Y'all be talking some shit, right? When y'all was in the car. And he'd be like, so what you saying, King? They don't understand. That's what they did with each other, just fucking around. What happened is it just got leaked. Well, how did it get leaked, though?

Starting point is 01:27:37 How did it get leaked? What are you saying? I don't believe in leak. Thank you. Yeah, what the fuck are you talking about? If I'm playing around with you and then you say you know, I'm gonna put this shit on ESPN TMZ everywhere that ain't the goddamn game Cuz y'all look y'all look mighty mighty friendly in that room

And y'all was just speaking just freely in that room, so y'all had to be up and something, huh? Tell us what happened. It was like a rook. You know, the rook asking you questions. You know, I'm a, I can't, you know, I'm a big time. You know that, right?

Starting point is 01:28:17 You know, I done had the baddest of them. I know, I know you had the baddest. And at that time, I was in the mix. I was like, I was dabbling and dabbling. Running the men in the mouth, huh? So he was seeing a lot. He was seeing a lot. And hating. I was in the mix. I was like, I was dabbling and dabbling. Running the men in the mouth, huh? So he was seeing a lot.

Starting point is 01:28:25 He was seeing a lot. And hating. He was so enthused with the swaggy persona, he wanted to get some of my aura, my shit, my pimp. He was recording just to hear. He was recording me just to see how the shit was. You know, he probably... So you think he did it on purpose? Hell no.

Starting point is 01:28:42 Oh, so he didn't do it on purpose? Who? No, Relief did. I said, do you think he leaked it on purpose? Oh, I don't know. Is that what you're saying? Yes, yes. How else to get out there? You don't do that.

Starting point is 01:28:53 How else do we get out there? If he move, let's say, if you move like that, and you were younger, y'all just ain't be hatin'. How many hoes you give D-Lo? Because I know if you learn from him. No, no, no, no. That's why! You stingy bastard!

See, I knew you would have never recorded me, because you was in the, you was getting it done. You didn't switch it because you were doing it.

Uh-huh hand doing what you was doing. That's not good. No. You know what? You know what? I can't wait to. See, you were standing.

Starting point is 01:29:52 You knew that. It don't matter. You didn't say that. I am. He was taught the right way. And they made me look like. You bring one for you, you bring one for him. They made me look like I was the bad vet.

Starting point is 01:30:02 You was. You bring one for you, you bring you. You just told us all about this good. That's what it is. They was trying to kick me out. Wasn't D-Lo the second pick in the draft? And you didn't hook him up with nothing. Yeah, like, for being recorded, I got kicked out sitting home. You didn't hook him up with nothing?

Starting point is 01:30:15 That shit was crazy. Nothing? Not one? Nah, nothing. The second pick in the draft, he should be able to get his own. Father fuck him. Let's talk about something else. Let's keep it moving. Move around, man. Let's just move around. man. Let's move around.

When you was shooting guns, who feel? When you was shooting guns, your boy fell down and got shot and got fined with you. I ain't going to say, no, I ain't following the others.

Starting point is 01:32:06 When I was in Memphis. I didn't shoot me and the bullet went by. I got shot. I got shot. When I was in Memphis. I didn't do this. I didn't do this. Act like it hit me. Oh, it hit me. I should have done this. And I did not make up for that. What? When we got, when we played y'all, uh, Clippers versus

Starting point is 01:32:45 You know what I'm saying? Now that I'm thinking about it, you didn't invite me. No, Memphis. Hey, both of you for the stings, you motherfuckers. That's fair. That's fair. You give me your head like your proper shit. I got some head like your proper shit. Having fun in there, huh?

Starting point is 01:32:59 A dollar will make you holler, but let's keep this moving. The Knicks and Pacers met for the second time this season with the Pacers looking to get revenge on a 25-point blowout they suffered in the Garden back on October 25th. In revenge, they did get Ben Matherin came through with a career-high 38 points, including career-best seven threes in the game, 13 for 18 from the field, 7 for 9 from deep.

Starting point is 01:33:22 Tyrese Halliburton had a season-high 35 points. Look at that cut. And a season-high 14 assists. And Miles Turner added 26 points. So the Pacers knocked down a season-high 21 threes in the game, shooting 46% from deep. As a team, Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 33 points and 10 assists, and Cat added 30 points and 9 rebounds in the loss.

Starting point is 01:33:43 Okay, Halle. Halle showing he can get buckets as well. Doing their thing. Oh, here we're mellow. Here we're mellow. Love mellow. Love mellow. On this show, he's known as Love Mellow.

Starting point is 01:33:57 Nah, I fuck with him. He's the new mellow. He's Love Mellow. On this show, on whatever other platform you wanna call him that, that's fine. Kenyon made it clear he's LaMelo Ball. Yo, what did Evan Turner say? I know he is realizing Tyrese Halliburton is not good.

Starting point is 01:34:15 Why are all the Tyrese Halliburton slanders? Obviously, he had a great season last year, getting it together this year. Great Olympics. Great Olympics. Yeah, great Olympics, sitting over there. Yeah Olympics. Great Olympics. Who in this Olympics? Yeah, Great Olympics. Sitting over there. Yeah, did his part. Huh?

Starting point is 01:34:27 He was probably the happiest motherfucker on the team. Gold medal. What? Got an A on the group project. Gary White too? Gary White for sure

Starting point is 01:34:35 the most happy, yeah, for sure. He benefited out of everybody. Yeah. He played for many. Tyrus Hallenberg can play. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:34:42 He can play. He's not. It's awkward. It looks disgusting at times, but it's effective Halliburton can play. Yeah, yeah. He can play. He's nice. It's awkward. It looks disgusting at times, but it's effective. Yeah, he can play. Halliburton? It's crazy that Sacramento had him, DeFox, and the big boy, right? No, they traded.

Starting point is 01:34:56 They traded. Oh, they traded. O'Callaghan for Sabonis. Him or Melo? LaMelo. LaMelo. Kenya has instructed you to refer to the LaMllo ball as Lamello ball on this program. Daddy Daniel Lamello, we got to call him Lamello.

Starting point is 01:35:09 Are they the same class? No. No, no, Lamello's younger. Yeah. But nonetheless, but... I'll probably take Lamello. I'm still going with the younger. All right.

Starting point is 01:35:20 I'm still going with the younger. One, because I know Lamello's Capability in putting that ball in the basket It's high as hell right I mean it's cuz he I mean he's put up 90 something in the game So it's all about like better career so far better crew Lamella's double injury issues, but this season Lamella's after the averaging 29.6 assists, five rebounds. Ooh. So he's getting back. Another one. This is why people disrespect this man when I say this.

Starting point is 01:35:48 Which one? Trae Young or Lamello. They be like, man, hell no, Lamello. Trae Young, man. Trae Young or Lamello. Who had a better career? Trae Young. That's who's having a better career.

Starting point is 01:36:00 That's who you're taking right now. Right now, today, if I say it. Trae Young. Trae averaging 24 points, 12 assists, 4 rebounds, 11 games. Trae's been doing it long. Trae, man. Trae, bro. Who you taking, Gil?

Starting point is 01:36:10 Come on. Trae didn't want a playoff series on the road. Yeah, I was about to say. Trae's type of team. No, just for this season. I'm not. No age, no nothing. No, no.

Starting point is 01:36:19 I'm not. I'm not rejecting. You're not rejecting. I just said. Mellow. I love Mellow. I don't want to get hit. Or Trae Young. I don't want to get hit. Don't put my hands on him. Mellow. Because I'm going rejecting one. I just said, Melo, I love Melo. I don't want to get hit. I don't want to get hit.

Starting point is 01:36:27 Don't put my hands on. I'm going to press charges. Dude, you going to jail. I ain't seen nothing. I'm not going to put my hands on. We will delete the footage. Jail destruction. He sound like a dad, man.

Starting point is 01:36:38 I'm sorry. I ain't going to court, God damn it. That worked so fast. Nick, you gave me a check. Just let you know. Damn. Just let you know. Don't look over here for no witness.

Starting point is 01:36:52 But. Hey, this accident broke both his kneecaps. Like, I'm good. I asked a question. What's up, Trey? Trey, okay. You going with Trey today? Like, mellow over, I mean, a little mellow,

Starting point is 01:37:03 a little mellow. And Trey, today, right now, you drafted them. Who you taking? Oh, we drafted. What age? Nigga, I don't know. I just ask one question. Are you drafting, who you taking right now, Trey or Melo?

Starting point is 01:37:17 Because they got Lil' Melo, I mean, my bad. You said Lil' Melo. They got Lil' Melo. There's like five. They got Lil' Melo top 10. Is he top 10? Yes. Best point guard right now? Yeah, they got LaMelo. There's like five. They got LaMelo top ten. Is he top ten? Yes. Best point guard right now?

Starting point is 01:37:28 Yes. Top ten. Yeah, yeah. Top ten point guard in the league? Right now? LaMelo? Shit. Yeah, I think so.

Starting point is 01:37:36 Very, very comfortable. Where do you have him at? I got him at like 11, 10. Wait, wait, wait. Point guards right now? Yeah. Who's your top five point guards right now? So when do I come first, 10 or 11? You got Lucas. I got him at like 11, 10. Okay, okay. Point guards right now? Yeah. Who's your top five point guards right now? So what number comes first, 10 or 11?

Starting point is 01:37:45 You got Lucas. I got him like 11, 10. Okay, okay. You got Lucas. Okay. Right now I probably have him ordained, but I'm talking about before I would have Lucas, Steph, Jai, Fox, Kyrie. Didn't you have LaMelo at top five at one point? That's what- You're arguing me and saying LaMelo top five at one point?

Starting point is 01:38:05 That's what... You're arguing me and saying LaMelo's a top-five point guard right now. Yeah, but he was hurt. He was hurt. He was hurt. That was first year. First year of balling. First year, rookie had him top-five point guard in the league. He averaged 29 and what right now? He's averaging... Six and five and six, six and five.

Starting point is 01:38:21 He top five right now. Right now in the first game? 29, six and 5 rebounds. 44% from the field, 37% from three, 84% from the line. Jalen Brown said I'm tripping, okay? I've got a thing. See, the thing with LaMelo is he's a pure point, but he has the ability to just be a score if he wanted to.

Starting point is 01:38:38 The first 10 games, he top 5 right now. Top 5? Point guard, yeah. 29? In production? Yeah. Yeah. 29? Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Before this.

Starting point is 01:38:52 What does Hallie have? So Halliburton. 24 and 12? Yep. And I'm on record saying that right now. And Dame's been hooping too. But he's better

Starting point is 01:39:00 than Dame right now. So this season, Halliburton is averaging 17, 8 assists, 4 rebounds. The Pacers' first team. I'm close to that. He's getting it back together. No, I mean Trey Young.

Starting point is 01:39:12 I'm sorry, Trey Young. Trey Young. It was 24 and 12? Yeah, 24 and 12. Ah, they're right there. They're both right there, man. 24 and 12. Yeah, they're both.

Starting point is 01:39:23 Lamello, 6-7. I'm going with Lamello. You got Shea. That's not like drafting. You... LaMelo's 6'7". I'm going to go with LaMelo. You got Shea. You got Shea. You got Shea. I'm good. If we're drafting him right now, I'm going with LaMelo.

Starting point is 01:39:31 He threw the caveat in a draft in him. Yeah. 6'7", LaMelo ball. I bet you his team... But as career stands right now, Trae Young. Like, if you're drafting...

Starting point is 01:39:41 If you're drafting right now, I'm going with LaMelo, but you're taking a career... Because you said career first, and then you said draft. Well, I was ready to say... You're going to draft a bigger... I'm going to draft LaMelo Ball because he's 6'7". Yeah, of course.

Starting point is 01:39:53 He does the same thing as Trae Young. I'm talking about is he ranked over him? But talking about overall body of work, Trae Young. Body of work so far? Like, coming in... No, not body of work. I'm just saying, coming into this season... 6'7".

Starting point is 01:40:04 Is he top 10? Yes, yes. LaMelo Ball...'m just saying, coming into this season, is he top ten? Yes. Coming into this season. Yes. LaMelo Ball. But he's not so far this season? Before any games played. Yes.

Starting point is 01:40:11 Healthy LaMelo Ball is a top ten point guard. Will make a great Los Angeles Laker or Clipper in the near future. Okay, so you have them over. I gave both. What's wrong with that, Steve? Ain't nobody going to your next. You see your Knicks, right? Charlotte.

Starting point is 01:40:24 Charlotte is too far from Reno Hills. Steph. You attacked me. What's wrong with that Steve ain't nobody gonna see your next right Charlotte Charlie Steph you attacked me Dave you got him over Dave job. Oh, yeah Fox. Yep Tyrese max easy. Yeah, you got a little maxi. Yeah right now. Yeah James Damn. Talking about overall punkers. James Harden. Overall punkers. K.E. Curry. K.O. Curry. You got it.

Starting point is 01:40:49 Right now, yeah. All right. Well, let's keep this thing moving. Talk a little bit about the New York Knickerbockers. That is not a $100 fine. That is their official name. Knicks are now 4-5 to start the season. Has them ranked fifth in the East.

Starting point is 01:40:57 They just told me shit to me. So, Knicks are currently ranked fifth in the East, but there's only two teams in the Eastern Conference that currently have winning records, which you may or may not know. So obviously Knicks has some moving pieces, a few injuries to their big men. But how long until Knicks fans should worry about this team? Obviously a lot of hype around this team. Before the Cat trade, Cat trade thought that that would help improve the roster. Like I said, they are having some issues at the big men with their depth, but Hey, we got two former Knicks here on this couch. Yeah, I...

Starting point is 01:41:27 stated before I wasn't a fan of the trade, so... Okay. I'm not surprised at where it is. Hey, when you got a good thing going, let's see how it's gonna go, right? Let this team not play well for an extended period of time. Let that team you had not make the playoffs. Like, you don't know what, you just start messing with things.

Starting point is 01:41:53 Like, you didn't know what Julius Randle was going to come back and be with that current group. You didn't give it a chance. Looked good so far. Like, you didn't give it a chance. OG there, him there. Like, you can play so many different lineups with Julius Rounder in the lineup, you didn't give it a chance. You start tinkering with your lineup.

Starting point is 01:42:14 And, yeah, I didn't like the trade, so I'm not surprised that it's where. Whatever's going to happen, I don't. They could come out of it and be great. I just... I wasn't a fan of the trade. So, it is what it is. He's hooping, but... Yeah, he's hooping. He's playing well, absolutely. Yeah, he's hooping.

Starting point is 01:42:32 But I'll just... Yeah. I think it's more Dante, too, though. Like, losing Dante. I think Mikel Bridges also. Like, he's not... Man. I think...

Starting point is 01:42:42 Yeah, just adding him, taking pieces away. One shot, so he can change his jump shot. What is that? Like, he was not... Man. Adding him. Yeah, just adding him, taking pieces away. Change his jump shot. What is that? Like, he was not doing that hitch. You might say he was doing a hitch before. He got a chance. Yeah, a slight hitch. I mean, it's a little bit more pronounced now, but...

Starting point is 01:42:55 I don't think they... I don't know if they didn't expect it, but that is a guy who averaged 20 in his league that puts buckets up, and his shot gets changed right changed this summer and whatever happened um i'm pretty sure it's messing with his confidence it's messing with you know everything that he has going on so that that that was a key piece for you like this is this i know it started off and they tried to use whatever stat to put him in

Starting point is 01:43:24 top three you know the first five games. Top three, best shooting percentage if you, you know, took 11 or some shot. It was just a bunch of dumb shit that they were trying to do. And when in reality, it was like, oh, it was like, it was like, he has to, like, you just, you're just doing anything to try to make it look better than what it really was. Work with the information we have at that moment. We have more information. But that's what happens. Like, you're just doing anything to try to make it look better than what it really was. Work with the information we have at that moment. We have more information. But that's what happens.

Starting point is 01:43:53 But now when you look at it, he's shooting 31%, you know, last game 0 for 6 from the three-point line. Like, he's not shooting the ball well from that distance. Mid-range, still good, right? So it's one of those things where he now has to play like a Rip Hamilton and get his shit together because people are going to let you go out there and shoot it now you just you you shooting against your own mind yeah right you know you start shooting you miss one oh god damn you start doing that it with a player right he's like let him shoot yeah let him shoot you start doing shit like that it's like it would with him and moving forward like he literally has to go right now three for for five, four for seven.

Starting point is 01:44:25 He's gonna have to start shooting, like, Buddy Hill to get his confidence back, and I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon. Yeah, whoever changes shots should be fired. Yeah. Like, for real. He should never talk to that person. It was a lethal shooter. No, I'm just playing. Nah.

Starting point is 01:44:41 Put that on him. Right. You about to... He about to have that man put out a statement, I did not work with... Nick, buddy, you're super. Don't do that on me. That's how bad it is. You going to put out a statement?

Starting point is 01:44:56 For real, nah. Don't put that on me. But when they first made that trade, I think that's a big team. When they made the trade, they made a trade, it was that's a big team. When they made the trade, it was like, oh, hell. Oh, man. And I think that's just like right now.

Starting point is 01:45:11 It's one of those things that's standing out like. Well, that's him. You added him, right? That's fine. But then you take away Dante, and then it's like... You take away your three-point shooter and give somebody... When you got McHale and you had Dante, I don't think they take away a three-point shooter and give some I don't think they like when you got

Starting point is 01:45:25 McHale and you had Dante yeah, I I don't think you should have did anything there was nothing else for you to do I agree Yes, because you already had him then you made the trade like this cat was the right before so therefore you You don't know what you have with Mcael Bridges out there, right? Already. You haven't played any games with Mikael Bridges. Now you add another piece of this, now you got to try to figure this out too. At the same time as Jalen Brunson still is going to try to be him. He's still coming into his own, right?

Starting point is 01:46:00 He's still trying to prove that what people have been saying about him is like, I'm still like that, and I've still got to show y'all that I'm like that. For sure, for sure. Too many people trying to show y'all that I'm like that sure for sure Too many people try to themselves absolutely in this moment. So you had something good You added a piece in bridges. Absolutely. Okay, cool. We were Everybody was on board with that move cool Julius round of coming back healthy. Let's put him in this and let's see how this looks You probably already know how they look together Julius see how this looks. You already know how

Starting point is 01:46:25 they look together, Julius and Jalen look together. You already got a sample size of that to go on already. Okay, let's put him, plug this piece in and let's see how this look. You can always make that move. Always. You can always go get Cat. He's available. You know it. Okay, you call us. Well, let's see how this is going to go. Let's see how y'all get a view if Minnesota get going good with the situation. They got they're not gonna get to do it No way. Mm-hmm You gotta make that trade, you know, you know, it's just I Get another friend of his and Julie's like man. Hold on. What the fuck going on? You bring in my whole college team in front of me. Mm-hmm, and I was the all-star before you

Starting point is 01:47:03 Yeah, let's thing they did with... I'm still a double-double guy. But it does have a little... And how does that affect you? Oh, same thing with Amari. Amari started with Amari. Same thing with Amari, though. It doesn't affect Julius Randle.

Starting point is 01:47:13 Yes, it does. It does. He already mentally think, oh, he losing the team. He fighting to be the star of the team. That's what the... Jason Brunson's team already. As a star, it was my team.

Starting point is 01:47:23 I'm the one that got this started. But I'm still... If I got this started... Y'all treating me like y'all just bringing in all his friends. McHale Bridge is not 1B. This play is not 1B. That is already the damn near the owner. You're bringing in more Jalen Bronson people.

Starting point is 01:47:39 Just keep bringing your homies from the streets. Keep bringing your homies in front of me. He's not in front of him. You keep moving back. I'm not in front of him. You telling me I ain't shit. That's what, if I'm Julius Radley, you telling me I ain't shit, I want to leave. He's not in front of him. I want to leave.

Starting point is 01:47:52 He's not in front of him. Obviously, you're not there no more. You show me. That's been happened. And you keep showing me. You're just rubbing it in my face now. It had nothing to do with who they was bringing in. They were more bronson's homies.

Starting point is 01:48:00 It had nothing to do with his play. Like as strong as their bench is, is their bench even good right now? Mm-mm. No. Like Dustin said, it's like so many... You lost so many pieces that you didn't have to. At the same time, they just had a good moment. Like, the...

Starting point is 01:48:19 I mean, what's your record? 4-6 right now in the East? 4-5. 4-5? I mean, across the board, though, only two teams will win a record. They in the East, they'd be all right. They are, but I'm just... Yeah, yeah, yeah. You didn't give it a chance.

Starting point is 01:48:31 If they could pull out of this and have one of the better records in the East, yes. They have the talent to do that, absolutely. They get Mitchell Robinson back. They have the talent to do it. He plays a real five position, so Cat can move to the four now. So it could definitely work out for them, but I just think you... It's going to work out.

Starting point is 01:48:52 You didn't... You're getting the same production out of Cat that you would have got out of Julius Randle. That's what I'm saying. So we asked the chat, should Knick fans be worried? 62% said yes. We do have a lot of Knick fans that watch the show,

Starting point is 01:49:04 so we can... Like when Mitchell... At least Cat's hooping. I mean, that's a positive though. When Mitchell comes back... It's called hard Cat of the East. Who could guard that? What do you... Do you put Bridges off the bench? Or do you go Hart? If what... Jason Hart? I mean, he doesn't look... Josh Hart doesn't look for shots, so you don't need to run plays for him.

Starting point is 01:49:27 So... Wouldn't he be in a starting lineup then? I think you leave him in a starting lineup. Starting lineup, yeah. Because you need somebody that's going to, I'm saying McCrary, he's a good defender as well, but he doesn't do what Josh... Because at the small forward,

Starting point is 01:49:41 it would be him or OG at that point. Starting, like, extra possessions, different things like that. You want to go big, though. Of course you want to go big. I mean, I know what lineup to finish with. I know what to finish with is what do I start with? Do you do the Lakers with the D-Lo thing? Like, I need more production on the bench.

Starting point is 01:49:58 But I'm just, I just, I don't know. We'll see what they decide to do, but I just think it's. To me, I think we have it. That was, I don't want to think it's... To me, I think we have it. That was... I don't want to say it's like a fluke, but that was just like... That team's not winning no championship. It don't matter.

Starting point is 01:50:11 If you go in there with goddamn Josh Hart thinking you're going to win a championship off of fucking defense and rebounding and diving on flows, that don't give a goddamn mind. No, I'm about to say... Say it loud, Nick. Say it loud, Nick.

Starting point is 01:50:22 They're not going to beat. No, but then you don't need him and Mitch Robinson on the floor together. Two non-shooters. Well, Josh can make shots, but I'm saying loud Nick. Oh, let's say loud Nick. They're not gonna beat They're not but then you don't need him and Mitch Robson on the floor together To none shooters. Well Josh can make shots but at time I saw it can go either way It can go either way Depends on what you know, they're cooked Rashad McKenzie fans this year. Yeah, we will have a cemetery He's watching the show right now we'll have some things to address across the board Let's shift it back over to the Western Conference. Warriors put up to OKC as the teams met

Starting point is 01:50:48 for the first time since Draymond's comments on how the Thunder's postgame bromance isn't instilling fear on teams and the Warriors stood on business. So, Steph had a season-high 36 points going 13 for 23 from the field, 7 for 13 from 3,

Starting point is 01:51:04 along with 7 dimes and five rebounds. Jonathan Kaminga came off the bench and added 20 points. And De'Anthony Melton had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Andrew Wiggins finished with 18, eight boards and five dimes. Very much a slow night, but still made an impact. They got the dub. That was most important. It's all right, though, when that dude got it going.

Starting point is 01:51:26 Yeah, coming into OKC and smacking the Thunder like this, who lost at home. We're going to talk about that in a second. But he made a little bit. Draymond had a what? He had a mid-game? 11 assists. A lean night.

Starting point is 01:51:38 11 assists. OK. 11 assists. See, 11 assists. Wiggins, baby. Huh? Wiggins. Ooh. Ay. They used to. I think assists. Wiggins, baby. Huh? Wiggins, too. Hey.

Starting point is 01:51:47 I think that's Wiggins. It's the old Wiggins. We got the old Wiggins back. They didn't have them last year, remember? Yeah. They back. They didn't have them for two years. Two years, right?

Starting point is 01:51:58 It's been two years. That's what's up. It's like it's been two years. It was two years, right? Yeah, so I think mentally he's back to just playing basketball. Warriors have been one of the most surprising teams in the league this season, currently holding down the top spot in the West with an 8-2 record. 6-1 on the road with wins over the Celtics and Thunder.

Starting point is 01:52:15 6-1 on the road? 6-1, wins over the Celtics and Thunder among those road wins. They're currently second in team defensive rating, third in offensive rating. But let's talk about the unanimous MVP. Steph averaged 22 points per game, five rebounds, six assists on 47-43-96 shooting splits. He's averaging what? Uh, 23... or 22 points, five rebounds, six assists.

Starting point is 01:52:37 Yeah. No, it was higher than that. Unless he had a bad game and then went back down. No, they've been pulling people out. So they've been chilling. They've been... Man, this look like the 2014-15, like... So Steph is 36, turns 37 in March. His contract goes through the 26-27 season.

Starting point is 01:52:54 So he'll turn 39 roughly a month before the playoffs. But do you see Steph playing to 40 and beyond like LeBron? Because he don't appear to be slowing down at all at this point. No. To point. No. To 40? No. It's 540. As a guard?

Starting point is 01:53:10 At the level he's playing at now, obviously, you know. It'll be 37, you said? It's easier for LeBron because nobody's that fast. But, you know, him trying to guard these younger guards that's going to be coming in at that age. That does. Because he can't play the other position. Because he can That does. Because he can't play the other position. Because he can't. Yeah, he can't play the other position.

Starting point is 01:53:29 Is Chris Paul playing that for you down there? So. But Chris Paul ain't never been built on speed and movement. Chris Paul turns 40 and back. I mean, you put him out there, they still got a guard. They do, but Chris Paul game, they never been predicated on that. People go at the Spurs. If you put him in where, they still got to guard. They do, but they... He played a Spurs. People go at the Spurs. If you put him in where he got to go and pick and roll every possession and manipulate the defense in that way,

Starting point is 01:53:53 absolutely. He can change the way he plays, yes, but it's still tough on the defensive end for him because... I give him 239. He can't guard the twos. Right? If he was bigger, if he was taller, he can go guard the twos.

Starting point is 01:54:07 He's about 37, so two more years from now. I said 39? Yeah. He played his contract out. Yeah, 39. I think he played his contract out. Last All-Star weekend is what, here? In 2000, what?

Starting point is 01:54:18 Yeah, I don't see him declining that fast. I think he just plays his contract out and just... He missed a couple games this season with an ankle injury. Obviously, the team has been performing well with him. He plays his contract out and just... He missed a couple games this season with an ankle injury. Obviously, the team has been performing well with him. Plays his contract out and just walks and goes on his tour and... Yeah, his fair world tour, yeah. Wait for the Clippers. All right, man. They just got to play smart, man.

Starting point is 01:54:37 They just play smart. Let's go back to the Warriors. Like I said, 8-2 this season. Are you surprised by the Warriors' success so far? Obviously, Clay leaving, but they've done a nice job filling that void. Buddy Hill has been playing solid this season. I am. Because I didn't know how they was going to approach this year.

Starting point is 01:54:55 Especially with Clay going, and we didn't know how Wiggins was going to be playing. So I think the biggest thing is Wiggins coming back healthy, playing with a better mind. GP2, he's out there defending and playing. So, I mean, I think that's the surprise right there. More Wiggins, though. Yeah, you got to put some respect for Wiggins' name. Number one pick, right?

Starting point is 01:55:18 He was. Championship. Jonathan Kamiga, he's not ready. No, even with Buddy Hill, I don't think people thought Buddy Hill was going to come in averaging 18. Buddy Hill. He's a microwave, though. You didn't think, not 18, though. On a team where you can shoot?

Starting point is 01:55:33 Because he's, him just himself is literally replacing Klay. Because he can shoot. Right, but so what I'm saying is, so you just, him and Klay cancel each other out. A better, he's a better Klay at this moment in time. Yeah. Then you got Wiggins been just a better of himself. Yeah. And they defending, man.

Starting point is 01:55:55 Yeah. They got guys that can switch a lot of things. Yeah, they defending. So, no, still got good coaching and stuff. And Kaminga's a better Kaminga, so, yeah, good. So yeah, I mean they may sent you to clay's money God, the empty mountain God, but that's that he got a whole bunch of people and I don't think I think all those people were supposed To replace clay that's and then one just replaced them now everything else is plus The Warriors do is smart. We're getting the other guys. I think they get the other guys really well, like the Buddy Hills and

Starting point is 01:56:25 the, you know. Yeah, they do. They do a good job with that, for sure. Yeah, what if they get another ring? That'd be sick. Season tournament or, no, I'm, you know, I'm talking about in May, June. No, that'd be sick if they did. Be disappointed.

Starting point is 01:56:41 Somehow. Yeah, because we don't get one, but. I mean, depending. Play get his one, but if Kirby gets his fifth. I mean, depending on where they're at in February, it's going to let me. I mean, All-Star, I don't know. If they stay healthy, they're going to keep doing this. No, no. They like Cleveland.

Starting point is 01:56:57 No, no, no. If they got a win, no. Cleveland. No. They got a win in pedigree. What, Cleveland what? What if Cleveland won? What?

Starting point is 01:57:05 Cleveland what? What if Cleveland won? What? Cleveland what? What if Cleveland won? No. Nick, what if Cleveland won? What about Cleveland? What? Cleveland what? What if they won?

Starting point is 01:57:13 Cleveland what? With their current roster, what if they won? You got the big fella. Well, I'm not talking this fool. If they, no, they're going to keep going, right? I don't see them falling off. If they stay healthy, they're going to keep doing? Mm-hmm. I don't see them falling off. If they stay healthy...

Starting point is 01:57:26 As long as they stay healthy. ...they gonna keep doing this. You think Cleveland gonna fall off? Yeah. Hell yeah. Not worried about them. That shit is Fugazi. That shit is Fugazi.

Starting point is 01:57:34 I don't call it Fugazi. It's regular season good. But I'm talking these Golden State Warriors... They better go get Bone Thugs-Herman. Them two boys and their coach, everybody else to buy in, they got there. Who's gonna go out and joke around LeBron or AD on that damn team? Them two boys and their coach, everybody else to buy in, they got there. Who's going to go out and joke around LeBron or AD on that damn team? I didn't say that.

Starting point is 01:57:51 I didn't say Cleveland's going to win a championship. You said keep this going. No, I just said keep this going. Yeah. Cleveland can do the same thing. They Cleveland. They could. I said they Cleveland.

Starting point is 01:58:02 So Cleveland going to finish top three in these when it's all said and done I bet they feel this top Oh, what's the death? I said top three Hired in the Warriors I'll put any money on it right now have a better record? I bet they finish higher than the Warriors. No, finish higher through the whole NBA, probably. No, better record. They're playing in the Eastern Conference, right? Better record? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They each won it.

Starting point is 01:58:31 No, a better record than them? Do you do realize they're playing in the Eastern Conference? The East is going to win the championship, so that means that's better. No, you're saying they have a better record than the Warriors? They finish higher than the Warriors, however that feels. What the fuck does that mean? Because, you know, right now... Y'all ain't gonna play stupid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead.

Starting point is 01:58:48 Let's play dumb. Everybody want to be dumb and be smart. We supposed to be brother knowledge and fucking... Brother polite, god damn it. How I get in there? Philosophy. It's the philosophies in y'all... Because you know the East, like you said, what I'm saying...

Starting point is 01:59:01 Look at... This is what I'm saying. So in the East, third place is five and five. Ooh It's going to say this third at eight and two Okay, what's after that? Seven and three seven and four is four and five in the West and then four and five in the East So five and four and five you want to bet? Yes, all the teams four and five. I see you Oh, no, what I'm saying is do you want to bet yes all the teams four and five actually you owe nobody does do you want to bet? I'm better record because you're talking about standing the standing in the West is a lot harder than a sentence like four and five in the East right now is under

Starting point is 01:59:35 500 and they're probably not even make shit number three is 500 500 in the West is Dallas at 10th spot. Yeah So what I'm saying is better... Cleveland is, what, 12-0? I'm talking about Cleveland, 11-0. So a better record. So a better record than the Warriors. Warriors are 8-2.

Starting point is 01:59:54 However you want to do it, Gil. Do you want to bet? However you want to do it. Mr. Knowledge. Higher ranking. So basically, at the end of the year, you put all 29 teams, and then... So where's the better record?

Starting point is 02:00:05 Yeah. I just said y'all play. Yeah, just do it like that, because you can't do teams, and then... So where's the better record? Yeah. I just said y'all play at least. Yeah, just do it like that, because you can't do it. They ain't going to have a better record than the Lakers. And what did it say about this Warriors squad to be so dominant on the road so early into this season? Y'all may remember a couple seasons ago, they were 11-30. You know, we talked about those road struggles. Last season, they were 25-16.

Starting point is 02:00:23 So far, this season six and one He backed out the bed. I mean, I just think I mean I just think they in a good room Yeah, no brown home and said it up 30 on them. I'm just in a good groove right now Oh brown like when they first like they're not brown number one or number two. I really gotta play them four times When they when they first I said when they first When it was winning them championships, the best part of Golden State Warriors

Starting point is 02:00:50 was their road style. Right? They were very, they created a circus on the road. Because you know why? Defense travels. Yeah, defense travels

Starting point is 02:01:01 and the thing is, how do home teams play at home? Wilder, right, you know the home team leaves less defense they play loose So now you got a team that's playing defense and they they are wild so they're Britain They're making you play faster than you want to And they better because of you. Yes When you go on the road you you're supposed to play smarter. Right?

Starting point is 02:01:27 You're slow. Like if you look at people's slowdowns, don't give the home crowd an advantage. Don't turn the whole live ball, turnovers and shit like that. But you go on the road, you see a lot of 30 jerseys in the stands. Oh yeah, that's his, I mean he's, that's him. But it's just the style. But you know what else, though? They got the core.

Starting point is 02:01:46 They got those four guys. They stand together so well. But it's a style. And experience, though. It's a style of how road teams come in versus how... Experience. So they're coming in playing like they're at home. So they're playing fast,

Starting point is 02:01:58 and they're allowing you to do the same thing. So it's a disadvantage for a home team. One thing they did, they went and got multiple guys that can make shots, right? It ain't all relying on 30 to make shots now. You got De'Anthony Melton can make shots. Buddy Hill can make shots. Andrew Wiggins can make shots,

Starting point is 02:02:15 get shots in the post and mid-range. Draymond's still going to be him. You got a young, energetic Jonathan Kaminga who's fearless and don't know no fucking better. He's just gonna go out and hoop. Right? He thinks he's the number one. So, it doesn't hurt. And coming off the bench, he

Starting point is 02:02:33 gets his mind right and takes the whole deal. And they gonna defend, man. Like, they young. Yep. Stackhouse over there controlling the defense and, you know, he gonna hold you accountable. If not, he gonna fight you. Yep. that's a fact. Not something I would want to do. No, that's a fact.

Starting point is 02:02:47 So therefore... I think also that Klay situation, I think kind of just got them... They can just move on from it. So Draymond said something when he was talking about the Jonathan Poole situation. He said he contested Jonathan Poole, Jordan Poole's shot because he got a he gonna get a defensive grade from Jared Stackhouse. He gonna get a mark for extra closeouts,

Starting point is 02:03:15 right? Shit like that man, like you getting you getting grades on your performance, on your defense performance. By your team. By your team, right? Your team is critiquing extra close outs, contest late. All those things matter. So Draymond said it when he was discussing the Jordan Poole situation, right? That.

Starting point is 02:03:36 He closed out. There's an extra contest, right? So those things translate throughout the team, right? They must have got extra credit for the other stuff. Mm-hmm. Hey, fuckboy. Brother P is no longer in the building. Now Swaggy P is back.

Starting point is 02:03:54 Also known as Maggie P. Stingy P. Stingy P as well. A lot of nicknames here in the arena. But let's talk about the Thunder for a second. Some bad news with Chet Holmgren suffering a hard fall, leaving the game. What was later announced as a right hip fracture. So we got the video. Did Shay play yesterday?

Starting point is 02:04:10 Huh? Did Shay play yesterday? Yeah. So here's the play. Damn. Boom. So Holmgren expected to miss at least the next few months after missing his entire rookie season with a Liz Frank injury in his foot. He suffered playing in a pro-am game. He returned last season to play all 82 games

Starting point is 02:04:26 and 10 playoff games. And one! That's what I'm talking about. And one! In my goddamn bucket. This is the perfect time. Stop. For real. You!

Starting point is 02:04:39 Now he got to get carried off and stuff. Like, you guys were just giving free throws. That's the product of not having no meat on your bones. Okay, we can go back to his injury. What happened? Chet does love Jamaican food, so not sure why he's not able to pack the pounds. He fractured his hip. Yeah, right here, fracture.

Starting point is 02:04:54 So they're saying 8 to 10 before he's even in ready-to-play protocol, so it's going to be a couple months. Wait, go, go back. Go back. He got no meat on his bones, man. Huh? He got no meat. Go back. Go back. He put his wrist down. I don man. Huh? He got no meat. Go back. Go back. Go back. He put his wrist down. Nah, I don't want to see this. Let's go back. Let's...

Starting point is 02:05:10 What I say? What I say? Okay, let's go. No, no, no. Keep going. Keep going. I want this to hit that... Boom! Fuck. Bam. That's a hand one. That's a hand one. No, what I'm saying is he fractured his hip. That's a foul, dog.

Starting point is 02:05:30 Mama. Yeah, kind of struggle breaking this fall. I told you. Big clumsy motherfuckers. Ain't got no beat on his bones. So like I said, last season played all 82 games, all 10 playoff games. After his latest setback, Holmgren reflected on the injury and recovery process with the following tweet. Can't tell if I feel better or worse about this having been through something similar before.

Starting point is 02:05:54 On one hand, I know how to approach it. I know what to do. I know what not to do and how beautiful the other side is. But on the other hand, I felt the frustration of this process and the wear it puts on your mind. Most of all, I'm hurt. I can't help my teammates and play for our fans and support us for a while. Everyone who sticks with me and our team, along with my need for hoops, is a big part of my passion to return.

Starting point is 02:06:14 Don't pity me or feel bad. There's a lot of people out there with real problems that don't heal. Anyways, excuse my ramblings. Just wanted to address our OKC fans and family. Thoughts from Da Hospital Bed. Shout out to him for saying the hospital bed and not the... He also followed that tweet up by pointing out he was a little disappointed that Wiggins actually made the layup. Just rumblings from the hospital.

Starting point is 02:06:35 But Holmgren averages 16.9 rebounds, close to three blocks this season. So, Kenyon, somebody who's gone through a lot of injuries. Obviously, everybody on this couch has dealt with injuries. You understand and kind of sympathize a little bit with Chet and what he's going through right now, just so young in his career. This whole couch did from that way.

Starting point is 02:06:53 I got janky knees, too, just in case y'all are wondering. Let's stop right here. Would you like to talk? So, he didn't hurt his hand or his elbow first? Like, I'm confused. I'm just so confused. can try to break the father like his hand slipped, but then that hip just said boom I've done seen a lot of Falls and in basketball Follies heads wrists falling off the rim swinging too fast coming on your hip right bruise

Starting point is 02:07:24 He could bruise Never heard a fracture rim swinging too fast, coming on your hip, right? Bruise. He coming on your hip. Bruise. Never heard a fracture. Boy, it felt hard, man. It felt hard. He didn't have no, there's nothing protecting him. There's a chat saying he needs some milk. I feel bad for him, though.

Starting point is 02:07:37 Because Chet, right now, to me, is making a name for himself. Making a name as one of the best Americans. He was like a white person. Like... Yo, like, man, the man laying in the hospital bed, his mind is all over the place right now. I done been there, laying in that bed after surgery, whatever you're going through in that moment, man,

Starting point is 02:08:01 and your brain is all over the place. Yep. Been through it already. Yeah. You know how to approach, but like he said, it's still knowing what y'all could have been. He's a huge piece of what they've been doing. His work ethic is crazy, too.

Starting point is 02:08:17 That sucks, because he missed the first season. His work ethic is... Yeah, missed his entire rookie season, came back for the first year. He came back balling. It's hurting even more now, because now he's in trade rumors No, hell no you don't read that already You know I haven't been here It's supposed to be they died like they put him in the trade for Giannis. I mean there's been

Starting point is 02:08:42 Anything you see no, I'm just saying no, I'm not saying I'm just saying I made that Okay, cool, but you're in the hospital bed hurt and then you see them to trade. I'm like it's that up No, but I'm just saying I'll pick that out. No, no, but what I'm saying But just see you Know what I'm saying is you're hurt you're hurt reflecting Yeah, well then that even that even comes across the timeline that like what the fuck like that's all I'm saying is you're hurt. You're hurt reflecting. And then that even comes across the timeline. Like, what the fuck? Like, that's all I'm saying.

Starting point is 02:09:08 There have been reports that Giannis was interested in the trade. Those have been squashed with conflicting reports. But I think Paul Pierce did mention, I want to say last week, that the Thunder have enough assets and capital to be like, here, take 15 first-rounders and give us... That's cool. I'm just saying, I just hurt my hip and I'm in the hospital and I see that come across the timeline. I'm kind of like, oh, shit 15 first-rounders and give us... That's cool. I'm just saying that. I just hurt my hip, and I'm in the hospital, and I see that come across the timeline.

Starting point is 02:09:27 I'm kind of like, oh, shit, hold on. Is this real? That came out before he got hurt. That was said before he got hurt. I'm not trading Chet. I don't pay attention to OKC. I'm like, man, that's fucked up. You're going to put this shit out after I get hurt?

Starting point is 02:09:43 He's going to have to get bigger, though. I'm not trading Chet for nobody right now. Look past the city, look's fucked up. You gonna put this shit out after I get hurt? He gonna have to get bigger, though. It wasn't after. I'm not saying shit for nobody right now. Look past the city, look at the team. It's definitely gonna hurt that he's down. Oh, it hurts that he's not there. They got Hardenstein back soon, right? Oh, and Hardenstein.

Starting point is 02:09:55 He coming back soon, right? He's coming back in the near future. It was a hand injury, correct? Shout out my boy, Chet. Yeah, it was a hand, so he a dead man. He can come back. Absolutely. He don't need his hand.

Starting point is 02:10:05 Not both of them, just flick that shit out. Right, just flick it out if we need to. It speeds up his process. Fractured hand, he's supposed to be, so back in early October, it's out at least a month. But it speeds up his process. Now get your ass back to work. And they gonna start looking at it,

Starting point is 02:10:19 you know how they start looking, like you just got injured, like, hey, so yeah, how you feeling over there? Yeah, looking good, hand look like it's good. Fourth x-ray this week. started looking like you just got injured. Like, hey, so, yeah, how you feeling over there? Looking good. Hand look like it's good. Fourth x-ray this week. Uh-huh.

Starting point is 02:10:32 So we're going to take another look. So she got a hand real okay. Okay, she got a bunch of young hoopers, so I think they'll be all right still. Y'all said Chet needs to put on some weight, but does it look like he has the type of body type? No. As soon as a calorie enters his body, he's got that KD.

Starting point is 02:10:43 He's got that KD body. Him, women, this new generation. But he can't beat a five out there for them right now. That's too light. Wired and strong-ass kids. He too light. Wiggins did that to you. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:10:56 You already big and dumb, you know? Body, you... Big and dumb. Don't hit me, brother. I'm just talking about... Don't hit me. You know y'all clever. Big and dumb. Don't hit me, brother. I'm just talking about... Don't hit me. You know y'all clever. Keep them leather gloves over there.

Starting point is 02:11:09 Move like you about to do something. That's why once you flinch, I don't know my reaction. But I'm thinking, you know, they... And he weigh about 200 pounds. It's 6'9". Wishing Chet the best of luck as he gets back out there on the court. 7'0". He's seven feet?

Starting point is 02:11:27 Let's keep it in the Western Conference. We got to show some love to some things going on with the Nuggets. All of 7-1. The Nuggets, not the other word that some have said recently. We just practiced. Nuggets. Nuggets. Nuggets.

Starting point is 02:11:42 But the Nuggets started the season 2-3. We've dealt with some injury issues of their own with Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon missing some time. But Nikola Jokic is putting the team on his back and putting the league on notice that he wants another MVP trophy for his collection. So last week, Joker helped the Nuggets overcome a 16-point second-half deficit to get the Thunder their first off the season. He had 23-20, 16 assists in that game.

Starting point is 02:12:02 Westbrook had a 29 in the win. And on Sunday, he delivered another legendary performance. 37 points, 18 rebounds, 15 assists, and three steals. Oh, Lord. He's going 13 for 21 from the field, 3 for 3

Starting point is 02:12:16 from deep, 8 for 8 from the line. Kyrie also did his thing, which you can see our couch reacting to. Season high, 43 points, along with five rebounds and five dimes. that's he went he did like 10 in a row right like 10 straight buckets like four shots that's a great killer travel bro that's a travel straight killer kairi hey kerry that's a kid that's tough that's tough kairi and y'all put Melo over there. But they went back and forth, thrilling fourth quarter battle.

Starting point is 02:12:46 Two of the West's best, but in the final moments, MPJ came through with a nice floater, put the Nuggets up, too. Kyrie had a chance to hit a game-winning three-pointer, missed that shot. He got hit. Or got blocked by Payton. Yeah, he got it. He got a finger on it.

Starting point is 02:13:04 He had the game-winning defense the last season, right? With the left-handed. Yeah, he got it. He got a finger on it. Yeah, the game went against him last season, right? With the left-handed. Yeah, that was the left-handed. Yeah, he blocked it. He got a finger on it. Shout-out Peyton Watson, UCLA. LA. Beating shit in crunch time to secure wins for the Nuggets.

Starting point is 02:13:16 But Jokic dropped his fourth straight triple-double, sixth this season, leading the Nuggets to their fifth straight win. So Jokic averaging 30 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists so far this season. So, question for you guys. Will Joker become the third player in league history to average a triple-double? Mm-hmm. Yes. You think it's going to happen?

Starting point is 02:13:41 Yes. Once you get off to it, it's hard to not... Like, these numbers are stacking up, so it just... He's not barely averaging 10 assists, right? He's not... No, he's 11.7. It's 12. We round up on this couch.

Starting point is 02:13:56 And you're going to have some 15, 16 assist nights from here on out. You're going to have some big number nights in assists because of just who he is as a player. And he's going to be MVP. Yeah. And there's going to be stat shit like Russ. It's going to be MVP.

Starting point is 02:14:12 So I think, yeah, I think he'll do it again. I think he'll average him, though. Absolutely. Because, I mean, he's so,

Starting point is 02:14:19 when it gets down to the end of the season, he's just going to be going pass and going for those assists. Points and rebounds he's going to do. That's easy. Right? He's leading the league in rebounding right now. He's averaging third.

Starting point is 02:14:33 That's going... So now he don't have to do much to continue scoring at that rebound at that. So now it's like, if I really want to do this, if he pays attention to it, which... Four-time MVP? Yeah.

Starting point is 02:14:49 You know what's so funny? MVP. Another one? Four-time MVP, and when you look at it, it's hard to even say, nah. I quit. I quit. I quit, baby. It's just, it's just, it's like, why are you still playing in this league, dog?

Starting point is 02:15:05 Yeah, yeah, no, no. Like, there's just certain players that came in history, and you just, like, there's a point where you're like, yo, you don't even come, don't come to work, dog. Let everybody else catch up. All right, when Wilt was scoring 50, like, somebody should, hey, hey, listen, homeboy, we ain't ready for you.

Starting point is 02:15:22 I don't even want to start. We ain't ready for you. When Jordan was doing Jordan, hey, boy. We ain't ready for you. I don't even want to start. We ain't ready for you. When Jordan was doing Jordan, hey, brother. You ain't going to do it. You don't have to start it. Just say we're baseball. What the fuck are you coming back for these three rings for? We know. You got it already. We know. We get it. We get it.

Starting point is 02:15:38 There's just certain he's at that point where this game he's playing is too fucking easy. Yeah, you don't have to start the conversation. No, he's at the point where we're just giving him the MVP. No fucking easy. Yeah, you don't have to start a conversation. No, he at the point where we just giving him the MVP. No, no, there ain't no giving. Nah, nah, nah, nah, come on. Nah, Nick, nah, Nick. He deserve it.

Starting point is 02:15:52 Okay, cool, we thought Shay should've got it. Thank you. Yeah. Listen, we the first one to tell you Shay should've got it last year. You say the first person doing triple- But Shay didn't. I mean- But Shay didn't.

Starting point is 02:16:01 Having a triple-double. He's doing it and- When somebody else do it, it's a pat. But as a big though- I'm the biggest welcome welcome to the possible. As a big man in the world, I. When somebody else do it, it's a fat pat. I'm the biggest welcome rest of the book. As a big man in the world. When Russ do it, it's fat pat. When Joker do it, oh, he just need MVP.

Starting point is 02:16:15 I'm tired of that shit. Me too. That shit is weak. But he got an MVP after the triple double. Yeah, he did. He did? He did. Who?

Starting point is 02:16:23 But he averaged a triple double the next year. And the next year. James Harden, goddamn. Oh, it's fat pat. He did. He did. Who? But he averaged a triple-double the next year! And the next year! James Harden, goddamn! Oh, it's that path. He ain't shit. He become enemy number one. But who's the second close right now? It don't matter. It don't matter?

Starting point is 02:16:36 The fuck you mean it don't matter? He's a five-man average in the triple-double. A five-man pass? What the hell you talking about? Let's just talk efficiency. What the hell are you talking about? He's a five-man pass is crazy. Let's just talk efficiency. What the hell are you talking about? He's a five-man. But, hey, just because they messed up Russ,

Starting point is 02:16:50 that has nothing to do with Joker. It has nothing to do with him. Hey, you got caught for stealing. God damn it, don't fuck with me. I steal better. But why is this stat patent for Russ, though? Because that's what they wanted to say. That ain't something we said.

Starting point is 02:17:03 That's not a problem. Joker a much more efficient scorer, though, than Russ. For us though because that's what they wanted to say that ain't something we said that's not a problem Okay, much better my first or though the road, but what I'm saying is they use that they use that for Russell When they went in was lessening weekend. We can't say because you use it for Russell. We thought it was unfair Don't use it for him. It's still unfair. It's still unfair. It's still unfair Don't like you fuck you fuck Russell up by doing that don't do it to him So does he go drunk or averaging 30 14 and 12 shooting 56 percent from the field? No, that's not 56 percent from three. Okay, it's not efficient good, you know What I'm saying is what he's doing right now is unfair

Starting point is 02:17:38 The game is too easy for him just like in be last Why are y'all still playing this game? Just say, coach, I don't think I'm going to do it tonight. Sit off for the play. I don't know. Me and him are going to do cardio. We're going to go ride some surfboards and shit. His 70 ain't the David Robinson 70.

Starting point is 02:17:59 The David Robinson 70 is they were giving him the ball so he can have 70. This 70 was real This was a real 70. This is a real 70 The day the rock sound crazy 70 was crazy. Okay, David's all LeBron. Don't listen to the gay LeBron MVP 20 years I thought this has nothing he wants to talk today. He wants to argue today. We should have gave up I don't know what? Let's argue today.

Starting point is 02:18:25 The David... Sellout Brothers on the bench. Since the first conversation, you've been wanting to argue with somebody. Go ahead, Sellout Brothers. No, tell us. Tell us about the White... Tell us. The David Robinson...

Starting point is 02:18:32 The David Robinson... How good he is. The David Robinson 70 was... Shaq led the league in scoring. He missed that game. So David Robinson needed about 60-something points to take it over. So his team decided, we're going to do it for you, and they just gave him the ball the that game. So David Robinson needed about 60-something points to take it over. So his team decided, we're going to do it for you.

Starting point is 02:18:48 And they just gave him the ball the whole game so he can have the 70. That's what that was. So that's what I'm saying is this was during a game, no wasn't it. He worked so hard on David Robinson and got 70 points. I get it. No, I said it was a real 70. It's a real. He did it in a game.

Starting point is 02:19:01 The other one was. He scored 70. It ain't real. I just told you what happened. Okay. That means it ain't real. I'm just saying. It ain't real. He did it in the game. The other one was... He scored 70. It ain't real. I just told you what happened. Okay. That means it ain't real. I'm just saying. It ain't real.

Starting point is 02:19:09 Y'all acting crazy. Why are you still talking? If you need 50 points to get $3 million and we're giving you the ball so you can score 50, we're not playing offense anymore. I don't have to agree with you to make sense. I'm just talking reality. I don't have to agree with you. No, I'm just saying it's reality.

Starting point is 02:19:25 It's a fact. These are facts, Nick. It's a fact. It's the last game of the season, and I'm just saying they gave him the ball. These are things that happened. We're not talking hypothetical. So I'm saying this game is too easy for Embiid, the fact that he's scoring 70 in a game. Give a fuck who it is.

Starting point is 02:19:43 It's in the middle of the game playing regular basketball. 35 and 14. The game is too easy for him. So if y'all didn't know, Nick came to argue today, y'all. I can't speak real. LeBron should have got MVP every year in the league. Monday. LeBron should have got MVP every year in the league.

Starting point is 02:19:59 Jordan should have. Jordan should have, too. Hell yeah. They don't give it to him. Hell yeah, Jordan should have. I don't get it. Jordan should have got it. Kobe should have got a couple of them. Hell yeah. But they don't give it to him. Hell yeah Jordan should've. I don't get it. Jordan should've got it.

Starting point is 02:20:07 Kobe should've got a couple of them. Hell yeah. For sure. Yeah, two. Hell yes. They gave it to Nash, average, 14 points. All right. Shit.

Starting point is 02:20:15 Okay. Keep talking. Keep bringing this man up. What is your argument? You know what my argument is. I haven't heard one. What, they catered to certain players? I haven't heard one valid one yet.

Starting point is 02:20:23 You just been talking. If you don't hear it. You just keep naming shit. Brother Nolik, I get it. You just keep talking. You just keep naming shit. What is your point? One valid point. You feel like they can't enter certain players? Y'all can't agree with each other. Name one valid point that you just talked about. I'm not rolling with just giving Joker the fucking MVP

Starting point is 02:20:35 and making him feel like he's just better than everybody. No, he's not. I done seen this shit before, but we treat other people like it's bullshit. So if Joker out here doing it, LeBron did the same thing. They screwed him? Yeah, LeBron did it, man.

Starting point is 02:20:48 He gave it in. What I'm saying is he gave somebody the final MVP for guarding LeBron and he averaged 38. I missed it. Come on, man. LeBron averaged 38 before? So what are you saying? Somebody else. You should say because these guys got screwed.

Starting point is 02:21:02 Treat them the same way. So because these guys screwed, we should just screw him too. No, treat them the same way. What I'm saying is. Treat them the same way. So because these got screwed, we should just screw him too. No, treat them the same way. What I'm saying is... Treat them the same way. Because this got screwed, we should screw him too. When does the screwing stop is the point. When does the screwing stop?

Starting point is 02:21:15 Why do it stop with him? What I'm saying is... Why do it have to stop with him? No, what I'm saying is... Why do the screwing have to stop with him? When Larry Bird won his three in a row and Jordan was supposed... Why do it have to stop with him? When Jordan was supposed to win three in a row and it was like now we protected him and they gave his MVP to somebody else

Starting point is 02:21:28 Right, they gave it to Carmelo and they gave it to Charles Barkley one year like we know he's supposed to had about fucking I can't do it with him. Why why I think the LeBron joke. They didn't want the pretty one I think what I'm saying is I want Kobe to get his they mess up When LeBron on the point when look what I'm saying is when LeBron was doing his, when LeBron was supposed to win his, and they were like, we don't want him to be better than somebody, so we're going to screw him, right?

Starting point is 02:21:54 Same thing with Giannis. Giannis was supposed to have three in a row. They gave one to Joker. When Joker was supposed to get three in a row, Joker was supposed to have three in a row. They gave one to NB, right? So he's already been sold. They didn't give it to a row. They gave one to Embiid, right? So he's already been sold. They didn't give it to Embiid. Come on now. They gave it to

Starting point is 02:22:08 Embiid. Yeah, they did. When Embiid won his, it was Jokic's. They gave it to Embiid that year. Jokic's team was number one and did what he did. They gave it to him. He was supposed to have three in a row, right? Giannis was supposed to have three in a row. So Giannis got screwed out of one. Jokic got screwed out of one. Jokic got screwed out of one. And B got screwed out of one. So everybody getting... I'm about to say, they still getting screwed. They still getting screwed.

Starting point is 02:22:30 To be honest. They got screwed like... They got screwed like... Because can't nobody win three in a row, so you still getting screwed. So you got to think about it. You got to get screwed. Huh?

Starting point is 02:22:37 And B deserve that MVP. Not finals MVP. I was about to say finals, but he deserve MVP. The year you won it. Yes. Nick, if you kick this coffee over me you gonna have a real fucking issue We already got it. No, we do not but I'll tell you right now if you kick this goddamn

Starting point is 02:22:56 Motherfucking move Live on YouTube be the first ones Was that in B, but I'm the same I don't think 33 33 10 maybe please I don't think What was the reason why this year Man, they come with their own reasons Canadian. It It's the people that voted. Remember I said that. I said he wanted it. I said he wanted this shit. It's the people that's voting. It was the beef.

Starting point is 02:23:29 That's the thing. You can point at the people that's voting. They saw it coming. They fucking it up. It was a rap beast. They could feel it coming. So now they're trying to backtrack and replace MVPs with MVPs and give it to this person,

Starting point is 02:23:37 give it to that person when this person should've got it this year. Oh, shit, we fucked it up this year. Let's vote for this person. That's what the fuck it is. They're just fucking it up. And you't replace and you can't get it back Cuz you start this shit with Russ you started with LeBron LeBron could have got it every year. Yeah, motherfucker. They gave Jake his MVP So it's but it's been fucking going on Steve Nash got fucking Kobe's MVP at his house

Starting point is 02:24:02 So it's it's been going on. He don't deserve MVP this year. Why? Who? He don't. So far, give me another name. Right now, so far, who? Right now, give me another name. One other person.

Starting point is 02:24:15 One other person? One other person right now that's doing what he's doing. That's doing what he's doing. Jason Tatum? Mm. If you don't get him, no respect. That's doing what he's doing? Number one team championship.

Starting point is 02:24:27 Right now, they're number one right now. He's averaging 30 points. They're number one right now? And he's averaging 32. They're number one right now? Jokic is averaging 32. And the boss himself is number one right now? But he's averaging fatter.

Starting point is 02:24:36 Or Denver number one. Phoenix is number one. Game out of first place. KD. KD deserved that motherfucker until he got hurt. Okay, I thought the Cavs was number one. You guys got in an argument with them about they was the best team. But Joker's not number one either.

Starting point is 02:24:50 I'm not saying, but... Game out of first place. 30-14. So, Jalen Averton's averaging 30, right? Yeah. How many rebounds is he averaging? I don't know, probably five or six. He's averaging 13.

Starting point is 02:24:59 It don't matter. I mean, his assist is averaging. I don't know. But that's a certain serve. Okay, but he's a close player. He's a serving. He's a serving. He would a close second. He deserves it. If Joker was number one and

Starting point is 02:25:10 He's in second place. If they won that same many games as Boston last year, I guarantee you. We're not talking about last year. So he gonna do it this year. Nick came to argue, y'all. We're talking about right now. Nick's in second place right now. We didn't say he was supposed to win last year.

Starting point is 02:25:26 So why you bringing up last year? We all had Shea win last year. Shea was our MVP last year. So what is your argument? Y'all trying to start this storyline like he should win this year. No. Right now he is. Right now he's in front.

Starting point is 02:25:37 Right now Jason Taylor to me. Through 10 games, he is in the movie. Right now Jason Taylor to me. Okay. Right now Jason Taylor to me. Over a guy that's averaging a triple-double. Cool. Yep. Your guy. From Russ. Your guy. Hey, man. To me okay right now Jason Taylor to me over got his average the trooper dope because yep Man forgot the house man Wherever you was gonna take your fucking passport and take it

Shut the fuck down. Nick, hold the mic. You can hold it like a regular microphone.

Starting point is 02:28:00 All right, OK, it all came around. OK, so you didn't go home. The note ain't, it wasn't school. I so you go home the no they it was a school Our first question from underdog user in NFL in F Louisville in F Louisville What is the most pressure packed head coach job in sports ie Lakers Yankees Cowboys etc? Who has the most pressure to win at all times? What's the most pressure? What's the key word in that?

Starting point is 02:28:29 Pressure-packed head coaching job in sports. Okay. Pressure-packed head coaching job? Pressure-packed head coaching job in sports, i.e. Lakers, Yankees, Cowboys, etc., who has the most pressure to win at all times? All three. Boston included. I'm going to say them Cowboys.

Starting point is 02:28:44 Y'all be tough on them cowboys Cowboys coach get fired Should have been fired Man Frank Vogel won a championship a Friday about two dog. But Cowboys ain't won a championship. I mean, Super Bowl. I know, but I'm saying. I know. Yankees won already.

Starting point is 02:29:09 They've had more than they had coaches do. I'm going to say like a college team. Right? Alabama or something. They've had more. Listen, since they won the last Super Bowl, they've had like six. Because you just like, I don't know. Which one would you rather have?

Starting point is 02:29:21 At least you've been there. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So yeah. So I would, I think they all equal to be honest with you. He's been there the whole time, so it don't really. But now like the new coach, now that he's taken over, like what's the pressure on him to try to? I don't know.

Starting point is 02:29:40 I think they all equal to be honest with you. That's crazy. Because it's pressure and notoriety and it comes with it. As soon as you sign the contract, it's a big deal when you're that head coach. It might be the Knicks, though. Knicks is tripping. They ain't won none since the 70s. But still, it's just every...

Starting point is 02:29:59 Is it Lakers, Yankees, Cowboys? Yes. Teams in that vein. Boston Cowboys? And I'm gonna throw Boston in there because of history. They just have a Eagles right? No, no Oh hell no Philly fans can be difficult. They're just the fans but not okay now with media and Everything that comes with it. I think I'll hold his heel though to me. What happened the owner? Owners, hey, you gotta win will be for you. No

Starting point is 02:30:23 To the up no time soon. So he hasn't personally won one who Jerry? Yes. He got to win one before he go to the up. No time soon So he hasn't personally won one who Jerry? Yes. He won for all okay. Okay. So yeah, okay He won them he had him. Yeah, he had just bought the team He thought he was gonna be living good right now. I'm about six. I may not it is they they won in the 70s and then when he was 90s then Drought you thought it could be the Lakers, huh? Tough job. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:30:51 Passionate fan base. The bus. The buses. All right, move on. Our next question, email question from underdog user Imani Gray. Who had the bigger team bromance, the Thunder or any of LeBron teams, before his return to Cleveland? Bigger team bromance, the Thunder or any LeBron team

Starting point is 02:31:11 before his return to Cleveland? I think any team that LeBron was on. You're talking about the bro, like the clapping the hands and all that? You know, him and Danny Green doing the dance-offs and the water bottle. We don't know what they look like off the court. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who? Yeah, no. Okay, see. often yeah the the water bottle we don't know what they look like off the court yeah no um okay see but i'm pretty sure because it's a small town that they just hang out but you know with braun like it was a thing that off the court they hung out with each other so they went to dinner

Starting point is 02:31:37 they went to movies they did that together so they had that video that went viral remember when it was in the video and then oh yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the locker room. Oh, the Halloween one. The shake. The Harlem Shake. The Harlem Shake? No, it was the men. Christmas party, Halloween party, all that. I would give it to one of them. Probably to Miami or any team LeBron's on because they do stuff together outside of the game.

Starting point is 02:32:04 Because you understand it's important to win. Yeah. So it's important for team, it's important for camaraderie, it's important for that if people have significant others for everybody to be on the same page and see ain't no bullshit going on when they do go out. It's giving what it should look like to be professionals in the environment for winning. Yeah, because women are fucked up.

Starting point is 02:32:29 They're fucked a lot. Yeah, so... That's what I've heard from you gentlemen. That's what they do. And being especially the oldest one in there, thinking she the boss. Vet. Yeah, she thinks she the vet.

Starting point is 02:38:47 But you see how it looks, right? Now we're bringing it to your team like, dang. I mean, no social media back then, thank God. They didn't, but they don't need to. But just somebody going home after a deal with something they had nothing to do with that is all branded. Maybe sitting there looking at you in the locker room like, Y'all just suck. Y'all had to argue for it. So now you think back when you used to hang out with some of your teammates and they just

Starting point is 02:39:09 stopped hanging with you abruptly. Right? They woman said, listen, you ain't allowed to hang out with Brandon. Yeah, they was tiptoeing. Absolutely. They ain't had a prenup. Don't talk about Joe. We asked the chat.
