There was a lot of, shout out Michael Eves, ESPN last night trying to get all technological, trying to act like it wasn't a dunk. Yeah. Come on, Eves, do better.

Don't let the man get you persuaded to say things like that. But Kawhi Leonard came through with his best game of the season. How dangerous are the Clippers with a healthy claw? And Steph silenced his critics momentarily with a vintage performance

and a win over the Wolves. Does Sturdy need to start applying more pressure on the Dubs' front office? They keep talking about making a bad trade. Just make a good trade.

So you're trying to just get it done quickly. It's all first quarter. You're going to know very early on whether you won or lost. You got Pascal Siakam, lower 4.5 first quarter points. They were at the Pistons. Cade Cunningham, lower.5 first quarter three-pointers made. You don't believe? That's a lot of hate in there.

How is that hate, word? This is analytical data. You don't believe? There's a lot of hate in there. All right. How is that hate, word? It's not a... There's a lot of hate. This is analytical data. Okay. I'm gonna make one... SGA, lower 1.5 first quarter assists. Evan Mobley, lower.5 first quarter assists.

See, the lowers always scare me, because they can fuck around. I won. You can just get one. Fuck them asses off the elbow. It's a lot of fear there, right? But I'm just saying, you have to hear me out. First quarter. Yeah. Like someone could make a shot that's not supposed to.

Evan Mobley gets one assist a game. Right, he could just kick it out. He could. And he could dribble handoff. He could dribble handoff. It could be a 3-2-1 it, grenade. Just kick out. Yeah.

Assist. No, you're done. But we counting on that. Me and my homie Marcus, Marcus Collins from Cleveland, he said, you got to put a Cleveland guy in there because they good luck right now. So he went down. He went lower on it. Yes, I went lower on a Cleveland guy in there because they're good luck right now. So he went down? He went lower on it.

Yes, I went lower on it. Because I could have did a double-double. I could have did a double-double. But I wanted the multiplier, though. My multiplier is 14. Oh, so you're going for it. Yeah, I want the money. I want the money.

Y'all be like two and three. Yeah, I've been looking at gills. It'd be like.05. Yeah, I'm talking about. Five. He got like 13 picks on there for 14. I'm taking the best. It'd be like Steph075. Yeah, I'm trying to... He got like 13 picks on there for the first chance. I'm taking the best chance. It'd be like,

Steph Curry, half a three. Take it. Obviously. Doing half a cent. Half a cent. Take it. I gotta build my confidence up a little bit.

So, Cade Cunningham averaging.5 three-pointers made on 1.3 attempts in the first quarter. That is definitely a coin flip shot. Coin flip. He's making... How many is he taking?.5 in the first quarter. But he's taking 1.3 three-point attempts in the first quarter. So that is definitely a coin flip shot. Coin flip. He's making, how many is he taking? 0.5 in the first quarter. But he's taking 1.3, three point attempts in the first quarter. Just in the first quarter. So if you missed that first attempt, you should be good.

I'll be good. I'll be good. You should be in the clear. But we asked the chat, ooh, if they are riding or fading with these picks. I don't know. Pascal's all good. 66% said they are not riding.

They are fading. You know what you want it is? It might be the Shea. And Pascal. The two assists, it might be the Shea. I think it's the assists. I don't know, man. When we fuck around and we fuck around and find out.

Put it in the cup, all right. Pascal is going to get some bucks. When we fuck around and find out that I win, I ain't giving none of y'all, none of my winners. I was going to give some of y'all some of my winners, but I only- Now you're not getting shit. 66% not getting shit.

we usually talk about the game that NBA players have on the court, but today we're going to start a little differently. So a tweet went viral recently with a young lady saying that athletes and musicians have been in her DMs frequently and they don't have game. So here it is. She said, I've had so many rappers and athletes in my DMs and none of them have game.

Like, do you really talk to women like this? So several women, including Mia Khalifa and Emily Ratajkowski, co-signed the tweet with other Emily Ratajkowski's model. Mia Khalifa, you guys did a show together on Complex. Out of bounds. Work! Just say the word. Yeah. So, I'm gonna respect for you being merely a host. I mean, workers are workers.

Soon to be a Hulu documentary star. And this person's famous? This is a random, pretty girl. Tried to do some due diligence, figured out. So you just follow her? So we don't know what she look like? So you just follow her? That's just her picture, but she could look like you.

Research purposes, Lexi, I did do some digging. Appears to be a real human being. Does she look attractive for people to be interviewed? Yeah, he follow her. He follow her. He had to be the man. Nick. Yeah, she looked attractive for people to be interviewed. Yeah, he followed her. He followed her. He had to follow her. He had to. Nick stopped and showed up on the timeline.

You had to follow her. You know when we in the car, right? You're driving, and then you see those people walking on the pedestrians. Pedestrians. Oh, she's walking. A pedestrian? Okay. So she probably had one rapper and probably one basketball player probably went overseas

and then she just- Oh, no. not even that. Not even that. Them other dudes is like at the, you know, Venice Beach. She done had the Venice Beach dudes. So when you come across a sports player... 24-hour time. A sports player, yeah, yeah.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit, hey. It was one of those. An expedition. He was tall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So since we have a couch full of former and current professional basketball players

representing both the male and female side Let's dive into it. So Lexi I'm gonna ask you first from your perspective Agree with what she's saying in this week. You didn't say you have you abstain from saying whether you agree or not Okay closer business in a relationship about got it several people in the chat have offered to go to Applebee's I don't know if that's ways you Yeah, cuz she even said yeah to me. So You try to use the gift card And I supposed to keep your partner in check

My what I mean if you have a partner, how do you keep Michelle? Oh, what'd you what'd you say? Oh, no, you like that's what you do you like a damn you go show me That's the black boy. Yo, yo, I'm hungry. I'm not cooking. Go on the DMs. See what she's saying? I'll do anything for you, daddy. Man, I'm just saying, you got to keep this. The checking balances of this world.

You know the next thing. We'll get the business. I don't have time. We'll get the business. Go get that. I don't have time for those games. Oh, you don't play those games? I'm not a relationship. I don't have time for those games. I'm not a relationship. Too busy doing Gills Arena presented by Underdog Wolf. You're a professional.

Full circle podcast on my heart. Them games is for us. Them two down. Them. I'm a busy girl. Okay. So, Mr. Cemetery Larry, do you agree with what she's saying in this tweet? None of them have game. Hold on, time out. I will add something. Okay, Mr. Cemetery Larry, do you agree with what she's saying in this tweet? None of them have game.

Hold on, time out. I will add something. Okay, yes. Not specifically for rappers and athletes, but the way men speak to women online is crazy. The way women dress online is crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. We speak to how you dress. Let her speak.

Let her eat. My bad, my bad. I was triggered. Me too. Like, dang. But I wasn't, I'm not even talking about just, like, the flirting and stuff. Like, men are just, like, mad rude,

obnoxious, and aggressive. And I will say I rarely have those types of interactions in real life, so it's, like, odd that they just are all just on the internet. You ever went fishing before? Sea full of fish, right? You just gonna, you go, you throw it out there anyway. And you just sit there and wait and someone's gonna catch the bait.

That's it, you know? We just learned percentage. That's it. Also, when you get a DM, the first thing you have to think is, he probably sent 65 of these. I did. Or you probably have 65 of these. No, he sent this weird-ass message to 500 other women that he saw me my damn was according to how I see how you look on Instagram you're promoting your You look in dress and what you showing that's a depends on how I mean

You have individual personal ideas if I see as a she like, you know, just all ass off. Okay, so Promoting the curve. And you look at your little eye. And you look at it in real life. And you're looking in the camera. You're looking in the camera. I'm the only one that don't see a girl just walk around with ass in front of my face and all that.

So I don't know. I can't talk to her how I talk to her on Instagram. Okay, but in the... That's what I'm saying. Imagine if you did see that. A blessing for a blessing, as you like to say. You think about it. Think about it.

You think about it. What you about to say? Don't say anything. I'm just saying, you think about like to say. You think about it. Think about it. You think about it. What you about to say? You think about it. Just everybody, just be nicer to each other. I don't think. Just be nicer. Listen to this. Listen to this. Just be nicer.

This is what she said. I don't know why she said. This is a weird tweet. This is what she wants. I'm not saying that this is not a weird tweet. She wants men to have game. What's game? Lying.

Lie. I want you to be a great liar to me. You're not telling me what I want to hear. You a sucker. I wish she included

an example. You a sucker because you ain't got no romance for game. He ain't got no game. What's gaming? When you can go gamer, I'm going to go gamer

real quick. Hey, watch this, bro. I'm about to game this shit out of her. Boom, boom, boom. Got her number. She's ready to go to Nobu. What's my budget for this game that I'm about to run on her?

$600. I went under budget. I only spent $300 for this. Because she got so much game she needed. I gave her so much game she wanted to hear. And guess what they are? Hopeless romantics. So you can sell them hopeless romance

No, but that's exactly the problem you want men with game. What does it actually mean? You want people to sound great to you? So you want to use car salesmen? Yep, you want him to sell you this lemon of a personality? Yep No, he's not here. When you say game, though, I don't want someone to run or spit game at me. Because, yeah, it's lies. It's selling a dream. So I don't like that. Basketball plays on how does a man court you then?

How does a man court you without spitting game to you? Just be nice. But if he's not charming, if he's actually not charming as a person, then he's going to give you what you're looking for. Yes. Game. And you don't want to be charming.

I tell women on first dates, shut the fuck up. Not like that. Sorry. What I mean is not like that, Lexi. Let. Not sorry what I mean is not like that No, no CC women I'm glad you all see I got Think of me like think of men like an AI on date. What? Right?

Think of us like an AI. You're telling us exactly how to win you. When you start telling us, oh, this is what I like to do. My last boyfriend did this. Strategic question. I don't want this. I like what I like. So when you're talking, we're just listening and mentally

writing it. Then we're going to do exactly what you want, and then when you realize who we are. It's who you want me to be. It's who you want me to be. I asked you, have you ever got flowers before? Nobody ever got you no flowers? Oh, really?

Guess who about to get some flowers? But what if she's lying? Hey, you ain't never. If she's lying, guess why? Guess why she lied? Because she wants some flowers. Oh, what if she's like, I hate flowers. She didn't say that.

But what if she does? She's telling me, I never got, nobody ever got me flowers. Remember, you're giving us all the good things you like and then telling us all the things you want from all the past. Well, my, he didn't give me those. He didn't give me this. Right, and you're doing all this and building this. So you're giving us all the past. Well, he didn't give me this. He didn't give me this. Right. He didn't take me out on dinner date.

So you're giving us all the game to pull you. Exactly. That's why when people ask me, what do you look for in a man, or what do you like in a man, I don't say anything. Once I get what I want, then the real me comes out. That's why. I like what I like. We figured out what.

You don't let us study for the test. You give us the Clifton notes in the back. Exactly. And that's why I don't say shit. But this is. That's why. I like what I like. We figured out the way. You don't let us study for the test. You give us the Clifton notes in the back. Exactly. And that's why I don't say shit. But this is the thing with men. No more. Any more. Any more.

I don't care anymore. I have to learn. A woman wants a certain guy, right? She has a blueprint of this guy. If I'm my own man, how the hell can I fit this blueprint? Yep. You don't want me. You don't want me.

You want in your head who you think you can make me into. You think you can make me into this. I have a rough draft outline. Of course you do. That can be edited. Six, five, six, six. Y'all want this. He got to have this.

He got to have that. A blueprint in set in stone. Yeah. That's not realistic. Yeah. The women are definitely delusional. I say no. No, we don't.

I say anything. About women? No, they don't. They do whatever. We just want peace. Y'all be doing whatever. We just want peace. Y'all be doing anything. We just want peace All the other shit we end up doing because we're not getting peace man. Oh, he a dog

He did see that cuz I'm not peaceful. You got me trigger and now all I want is cat I started should want therapy. I do the opposite. Call Anthony Towns to get back in the lineup? No. I say whatever I think is going to piss them off on a date. What? I say whatever I think is going to piss them off on a date. Every time. That sounds horrible. Every time.

If I tell you everything you want to hear, I'm horrible too. I give myself wiggle room. I give myself wiggle room. If I say everything you want to hear. There's too many generalizations in dating. You have to, people look at other people's experiences. Because the motives. It is not, that's not your experience.

Because the motives, right? That's not your life. What's the motives? Why do you want that? Am I here on this date at this nice restaurant because you hungry? Or you want to know me? Both. Okay, so if you're not asking me no questions on this date.

Both. You're not asking me no questions on this date. By. You're not asking me no questions on this date. By the end of the day, you don't know nothing about me. I know everything about you. But I still got to work hard to do what? Get to know you more? Wait till you say it's OK? Nah.

You're not the prize. You get the reward. Shaw, that is a bar. You said that before. It's not a bar. That you are the reward. You are the prize. They get the reward. Relationships make the difference.

They're the winner. Winner, winner, chicken, then. Most of you ain't trying to wife the girl, though. You're not. I think they think that when we see them, we think they're wifey material. Yeah, that DM said they think that has a value, and it's like, he just want to smash.

You're trying to think, you down the fuck? He trying to hit. What's up? Are you going to answer the DM or not? Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's why a lot of them ain't answer my DMs yet. They know what I'm there for. Let me help these women out.

Broke men have game. Mm-hmm. All the game. Oh, they got all the game in the world. All the game in the world. All the game in the world. They got to trick you out of your possessions. Absolutely. If you meet me and I'll be like, yeah, what's happening?

Bye-bye. What we doing? What we doing? What we doing? I got 14 other ones that's ready to go. No question. I don't got time. Oh, my God.

I hate that line. I hate that line. Remember, I have options. The guy who has game don't have no options. He got a game. So he has to play his chessboard right. Yes. I don't have to play chess.

What's the difference between having a game and just having a good personality? Okay. You know what I'm going to tell you? This is the problem. Ooh, that's a great question. Y'all remember the guy by the name of Kevin Samuels, right? Oh, we don't know him. Oh, shit.

Yep. Yes. If you look at his aesthetics, who did it attract? Women. He look appealing, fitted, very great, groomed. Wait, that was the one who was talking online all the time, right? Yeah, trying to give them game, right? Now, look at actual millionaires on YouTube. How they dress.

Not nail one of them wearing no goddamn suit unless they got a corporate job. Other than that, they come in because they have it. So they don't need to pretend. Yeah, they don't have to promote it. They don't need to game you. Yep. Right? You go to all these.

You can see. They not trying to dress because they don't want the attention. The richer you get, the less you wear. The less attention you want. And you can tell.

So when you got the guys who's sitting there with the booted and suited talking this game, that's what you want. Booted and suited. Booted and suited. Booted and booted. Booted and booted. Booted and booted. Booted and booted. Booted and boot want. Booted and suited. Booted and suited. Booted and suited. Booted and suited. Booted and suited.

Hey, wearing a suit in the club. Wearing a suit in the club. That guy right there, walk away. But we know as guys, we know. He live in an apartment with a roommate. We know who the fly nigga who did. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that in this economy. We know who gave buns. Why did. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that in this economy.

We know who gave buns. Why do girls always say, I don't know what you used to. I ain't like them other girls. Like, why y'all always say that? Just like when they say, yeah, I'm not a whore. Yeah.

When they say that, what do you think? I'm not a groupie. I never said you was, baby. No, I'll be like this. Groupie. It's not gonna be easy. Just do it. Just do I'll be like this. Groupie. It's not going to be easy. No, no, no.

Just do it. Just do it already. Just do it. You usually don't do this. But that's her telling you I'm about to make it hard for you. No. I'm about to make it difficult. I'm telling you, I don't really do this.

No, I'm not. Just do it. But because you're Gilbert, I'm going to make you a little sad. I'm not a groupie. I don't usually do this. Just do this. No, I'm not. Just do it. But because you're Gilbert, I'm going to make you a little... I'm not a groupie. I don't usually do this. Just do it. Why I respect you more? For real. When he say say my name and it's Gilbert, that was one of my favorite memes of all time. Girls want to be

game at the end of the day. They don't want the bad boy. They don't want the good. They don't want the good guy to tell the truth. The guy that tells the truth hurts feelings. No, I'm not dissing Kevin Adams. I'm telling you what to look for. If you're picking wrong, it's because your visual is wrong. Yeah, I'm about to say.

Women hate it, Kevin. Right? When you look at, like, think about it. Like, when you look at the young rappers, right? You know they don't have no money. What they look like? 57 chains on, they look rich. That's the young man. That at the young rappers, right? You know they don't have no money. What they look like? 57 chains on, they look rich. What I'm saying is they look like they have money.

Look at the ones you know that have money. Look at the drinks. Look how he dress. Look at the Kendrick Lamar. Look at Kanye. They are so rich, I don't need to impress anybody. So I'm not going to wear jewelry. I don't want you to see me.

Right? You have to understand what the person who actually Has money look like versus the guys who? Pretending he wants you to think he has it and That's where girls are looking for the aesthetics, but sometimes young people just you know, and they like to buy stupid shit So but that's the goal. That's why that's why for children you think about think about it. So what's like that? They older. I can show up with my chains on and all that.

We can tell them what you need to look for. All right, well, very productive talk. I feel like we learned a lot on both sides. We in the trenches. Let's keep this thing moving. We in the trenches. I mean, it was a little bit. All circle for Syl here.

Just be yourself. Yeah, there we go. here. Just be yourself. Just be yourself. Yeah. There we go. Be nice and be yourself. If you're broke. You're going to end up with who you're supposed to end up with. You don't like talking about women. Be yourself and be nice. If you're broke, use her for her money and play video games.

What did he say? What did you say? I said if you're broke if you're a broke man, use them for your money, play video games all day. You got to get some, yeah. There's some homeless men out here. Look at you, an old woman. There's homeless women and there's some homeless men.

Oh, there's a lot of homeless women, for sure. There's a lot of homeless men. Go to Do-Dirty's house and play Madden. There's a lot of homeless men, too. Yeah. They call them homos. Hey, man, niggas can be groupies, too, now. What?

Yeah. Homosexuals. I just had a putt motherfucker the other day. I made a homo motherfucker the other day. I didn't mean to. That's what y'all are calling for, them homo sex. I didn't mean to. Right before the fire, I felt guilty.

I said, will a ho-she okay? Homosexual. We got down a ho-she okay. Learn something new every summer. Club promoters. Homosexuals. Homosexuals. Club promoters.

Like, that's crazy. We call them foodies, the foodies, food diggers. Food diggers? Yeah, food diggers. They want apple pit. I need the whole people going dates to eat. That needs to go away. That's not a thing.

That is a thing. No, it's not. If we go eat, I spend $400 on the tab, and you just go to the crib. Just give it to them. Exactly. That's what's wrong with y'all. Yeah. Y'all gotta upgrade y'all. It's like, damn, we just did all this to eat this nice food. Just leave it on the table.

Leave it out for the kids. Like, what are we doing? Like, we not doing that. We just spend $400 on food. That's the point. We not doing that no more. Alright, well, let's keep this moving. Uber eats $50 and the delivery is free. Let's keep this moving. Get to some50. The delivery is free. Let's keep this moving. I thought you better.

Get to some basketball talk. I thought you better, brother. Brother, brother. We do the thing before we eat. Whatever we did, that's going to tell us the budget. Yes, absolutely. Ooh, girl, that was worth $1,000. Man.

Whatever you want. Whatever you want. Whatever you want. Hey, she cool. Hey, make it urgent. Hey, she cool as she is. Bartender. This wife of hers.

Make it whatever you want. You know. I'm not about to be out here. Ladies and gentlemen Ain't she cool? She's a bartender. This wife of hers. You know. I'm not about to be out here. Ladies and gentlemen, we are basketball in a culture shock. This was a culture component. Woo! Woo! Now let's get to the basketball.

What was the idea with that? That was your idea? Put that together? I was curious. I saw people reacting to it. I'll be right back. My agent called. Oh, shit.

So let's see what that call. Oh, my agent's on the phone. We talked about game off the court. Let's talk about some game on the court. Oh, my age is on the phone. We talked about game off the court. Let's talk about some game on the court. Well, at least kind of. So back on December 27th, after a win over the Nets at the Barclays Center, Wimby was nice enough to swap jerseys with a young fan who was courtside.

So the kid was holding up a sign that he obviously didn't make, which read, Victor Wimby Nyama, will you swap jerseys with me? Wimby swapped jerseys with the kid in what is most likely the largest size differential in the history of jersey swaps. Oh, my goodness. You can see the courtesy Wimby showed both the kid and his dad. Can't even see Wimby.

Aww. That's a baby. A baby jersey. Okay. Very cool move from the French Phrenom. Looks like his daddy did. Very special moment. Wimby jersey taking the little jersey from the kid. Very, extremely special moment. Unfortunately, sometimes kindness is taken for weakness.

So, apparently the jersey is now up for sale online with an asking price of 10 racks. That's $10,000 for those. Is that on eBay? It's signed? I believe golden. I don't think it's signed. It looks signed. It looks stinky.

It smells like baguettes. Wimpy caught wind of the news on Wednesday. He responded with a crying emoji, which can only mean Sacre Bleu in his native tongue. So a lot of people were very critical of this situation happening. You never know what people are going through. But you get the sense that he got it on the 27th, and we didn't even make it to Black History Month before that thing is up for sale.

Any issue with the kid's dad trying to sell this Wimby jersey for $10,000? Not at all. He can buy his son a new one if he gets that $10,000. Hey, what side is that on? She's about to buy it? Is that golden on the... Hey, man, look. Hey, hey, I'll give you the 10 grand for the jersey, sir.

I'll give you 10 grand. DM me or... Yeah, DM me, sir. I'll buy that jersey for 10 grand. It's signed? No. Nigga, I'll go get a jersey right now. Right?

The same jersey at the mall. I'll bring it. I got it. I got it. What's the chances of me getting Wimby to sign that jersey? Extremely high, Gil. Know your ability. And what do you think a game-worn Wimby jersey will go for 10 years from now? You could get that, though.

You act like you can't get that from Wimby. A game-worn. What I'm saying is... You don't think Wimby could get... I don't think he's giving out no more game-worn jerseys. Hell, no. After this. After this. After this?

No, no, no. That's part of the... No, no. If you call the Spurs right now after the game, say, send me a jersey after we play. But that jersey is in the public as a game-worn jersey. His signature hits that jersey. 10, 15 years from now, he does what he does.

That jersey's already about $50,000 to $200,000. Game-worn jerseys is hard. That's the hardest one to get. The one that's off your motherfucking back. That's the hardest jersey to get. So, Gil, once again, playing chess, you would purchase a jersey for $10,000 to be able to flip it down the road.

Get it for less. I ain't just having it. Do a big board. Stay at $1,000. No, no, no. I'm not even going to play with his emotions like that. I got the 10 grand. What's happening?

I'm not even. They already coincide. I don't give a fuck what they think. If the man want 10 grand, get a man 10 grand. Damn. That's probably the style guys. What the fuck I'm going to negotiate with him for? He be like, oh, I got this.

I got that. We go back two weeks later, and then this motherfucker done sold it. No, no, no. Wait, why aren't you just going to do it on the site? I was looking for it on eBay. No, that's not on eBay. Golden, G-O-L-D-I-N.

You don't think he's going to try and get you to pay more for it? Yeah. Because it's you? Hey. Hey. So Gil, I'll throw a dollar on it. It's $10,001. Hey, man.

Give me the jersey. Yeah, I'll throw 10%. When we sell it, how much I get? So our producers are currently hunting this Jersey down. Don't need to sell it. Buy it from the kid. The kid's sign was too elaborate. It wasn't like a janky, like, you know, crayons and scribbles and shit.

Like a Pistol Pete sign. A Pistol Pete non-sign Jersey goes for like $95,000. You don't think he ain't gonna keep it now? That's what I'm saying. If they on the court, why would he not keep that damn jersey? I'm about to say, you don't think he's going to keep it now that you said that? Nope. Because I would go back to a game and get it signed. How does he get that jersey signed now with what he did?

Well, now he can't. Yep. But why wouldn't he have thought of that before? Women should be an asshole and then try to sell the little kid's jersey as well. For a quarter. So, but on a serious note, sports memorabilia is a multi-billion dollar industry. Say it again?

Sports memorabilia is a multi-billion dollar industry with autographed hounds always present outside team hotels, the arena, and other public places trying to get their hustle on.

In some cases, these people will use kids to bait athletes into signing merch under the guise of being fans with the intention of stacking some bread. You see me you're going.

How cognizant were you in separating real fans from people trying to make money off your name when signing autographs? Did you not care? You just gonna sign whatever? Yeah, I didn't give a fuck. I mean, I'm making my money from the NBA. If you gotta, you know, come here 2, 3 in the morning

when we land and give me the signed autographs so you can sell them and pay for whatever you got to pay for, okay, you the one who drove from this state to this state to get autographs. Did you ever see kids out that late at night? They had kids. They don't give up. Yeah, yeah. I used to be like, yo, man, listen,

I know you got more than these three little things. What do you have? Because I'm not gonna come up now, then come back later, do the dance. That irritates me. Just give it all to me now. I'll sign it, bring it back in the morning. So I used to do that a lot.

Did you ever sign fake names just to throw them off the trip? OK. No. Because I don't, it has no, it doesn't affect my money. So why do I give a fuck? It makes you feel, I mean, it is odd sometimes that they're like outside the hotel and things like that.

But then it is kind of cool that people want your autograph. Want to profit off your... No, like, every time I see someone with my jersey, like, years and years later, any time I see someone with my jersey on, like, I think that's, like, the coolest thing ever. I don't like when they had the kids out that late, though. What do we got?

Gil, the link to the jersey is in your DM right now. Oh, shout-out Shug. He send it? Yep. Shout-out our resident Cavs fan. The dude send it? No, Shug send it. it? Yep. Shout out our resident Cavs fan. The dude send it? No, Suge send it. Oh.

Shout out to our resident Cavs fan. I will be wearing that T-shirt tonight, Suge, on the playback stream. In honor of LeBron, setting the trend in Cleveland. Oh, yeah. All that. All because of LeBron, Raymond, Jameson. But how hard is it to tell the difference between real fans and scammers? Like, Shai, when you were playing today, how hard was it hard is it tell the difference between real fans and scammers like shy when you you're playing day?

How hard was it for you to tell a difference between? Somebody who was actually a fan versus all you just trying to make some money I said it's a bit. I thought you put a little bit. I'm buying a bit sent out when I first Start the starting bid is what I told you that's That for 10k if he has courtside tickets That's what that's why he got money obviously Or a little bit of it was first course I tickets but what 50 it was it was that bar class. So is the next game so About seventy five dollars in a cheesecake from Junior. All right.

But how hard to tell the difference between real fans and scammers? How much he had in that? My bad. I forgot. How much he had? How much he had? 19, six blocks. Damn, Gil. He had, like, eight blocks. Just a game-worn jersey by LeBron.

No signatures. 50 grand. How do you know if it's game-worn jersey by LeBron, no signatures, 50 grand. How do you know if it's game-worn or not? They smell it? No, they have caters that can authenticate it. How? I have a game-worn LeBron jersey. So how did you know? Of course you do.

Of course you do, Sean, because... And it's personalized. See, but that's why... Of course you do. One of your most cherished possessions. In Cleveland. In Cleveland, yeah. Yeah, after the MVP. Personalized see but of course you do like when you're most Yeah after the MVP so if LeBron offered you a personalized Lakers Jersey, would you take it now? Yes? Already got this already got already got it on the Ron Jersey. I don't need a Lakers Jersey. I got a Kobe Jersey

You can always expand I feel that that. That occurred in Rambo's jersey, too. So that's probably not as valuable. That's worth a whole four, five, six. Nah, that play alone gets you at least 10. What? When he got knocked out. Closed? Yeah. When he got knocked out in that jersey with the blood on it. So, Gil, is there a jersey?

You have an extensive collection of jerseys, for those who don't know, all on this back wall off camera. But is there a jersey that you don't have that you've been on the lookout for or on the hunt for? One jersey that I... It was Pistol Pete. Pistol Pete game-worn jersey. Which is rare because he wasn't signing autographs then.

Smart man. Homework basketball. So there's a Pistol Pete jersey, and then they stapled a check to the jersey, because that's his signature. And I'm like, nah. It's not going to look good in a frame. Yeah, so it's, so the Pistol Pete

is probably the rarest jersey to have that has autograph on it. Damn. Yeah. I like the mug, well. I appreciate it. How much would that be? The jersey itself by itself is, I think, like, 80 grand. 50 to 80 grand. Just the game worn from him.

I'll go to Mitchell & Ness and get one for $200. I had a... A guy, Bruce out of Detroit, has it. A big collector. I had a Pete Rose jersey autographed, but I couldn't authenticate whether it was game worn or not. Cincinnati Reds.

What is that process? How do you know something is game worn? You got to put it through the whole process of when he got it, when he wore it, if it's still sweat and shit on it. So, like, Shohei Otani, obviously, you know, 50-50 club this year, they were authenticating all the stuff, the base. So, like, after he did it, they had a dude in the dugout literally going through everything, authenticating all of it.

Wow. Make sure it was good to go. Like, when the fires was going on. Then they went on to win the World Series against the Yankees. When the fires was going on, I was sitting here trying to figure out what you would take what if I had to take one Jersey or two jerseys Which one was taking? Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something which ones were there. It was the Michael Jordan Game Warren his us UNC shorts the game worn shorts. He autographed with a sticker on it.

And then probably Kobe's all-star jersey that he signed. So, Gil, I'm going to tell you a secret because we are very close. We've been working together for a long time now. When those fires did go,

I knew that you were going to evacuate and I was going to run up in here and take whatever stuff you didn't have. I was sitting here thinking. You got a collection. I was like,

oh, shit, Penny Hardaway. Ooh, I got LeBron's football jersey. I'm like, yeah, I got to take the George shorts. I would have took the Cheryl swoops. The Kobe All-Star game jersey, so yeah. So we asked to chat, seeing Wimby's jersey on sale after a swap is a smart move or a trash move? 50-50 split. I understand we got business.

But let's talk about some other things that Wimby's involved in. So last night, Ja Morant kept playing after a whistle and gave us one of the most amazing highlights we've seen all season. Total points for the Grizzlies. A lot of late-game situations. And here we move to another. Oh! Ah!

That should count, too. It counts. We do not care about whistles. He didn't dribble at us. He jumped. He jumped. He did jump. So in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies went over the Spurs.

Ja took flight after whistle, threw it down over Wimby, giving us yet another viral moment. You may remember earlier this season Ja said he was not going to dunk anymore. Yeah. But then he changed his mind once he saw Wimby big ass in his sights. So the dunk technically did not count. But damn did it make for a great highlight. So I got to ask you guys. First off, a lot of people are saying this technically isn't a dunk because Ja didn't touch the rim.

So first off, is this a dunk in your expert opinion? Yeah, someone tweeted me. It was like, it was a throw in. Okay. It was a throw in. You jumped that motherfucking high. That's more impressive than a dunk. Okay, cool. You threw it in over him.

We called it a flush back in the day, but we still kind of those young jumps. Like, was that trying to upgrade the dunk? No, that's an upgrade. If you get high enough to throw it in there. Like I said, Michael Eves on SportsCenter. Michael Eves, you my guy, but... Yeah, that was... That's some life-giving shit.

How are you going to say it's not a dunk? That was what pissed me off, though. Y'all had my tweet, but you just had my name like at the bottom of the thing, man. That was the most disappointing part. Y'all could have raised my shit up, gave me some love. But they said it wasn't a dunk.

You guys are saying that that is a dunk. Yes. You jump high enough. I've never, ever thrown a ball in the, never on my best days. You ever had a dunk like that, though? I'm touch grim. Like how you dunked on somebody like that? Oh, yeah.

For real? Yeah. Just the same way. Just the way. Did a split. They called the foul and kept going and tracked the trailer, jumped. You wasn't a two-feet jumper. No, it was just off the one. I want to say.

No, that's what I said. I come up to pick a roll. I split. And then they tried to close line. Got the foul. And then jump. He jumped. Tried to block it.

Boom. That count. Shout out to KG23 in the chat who said it was an aggressive layup. That's hard. There's going to be music. You know, in the highlight, there's going to be music on it, so they can't hear the foul. They're not going to.

Yeah, we won't. That's like saying it don't count when they call a charge and you jump over it. Oh, yeah. Boom, and they call a charge. It's like, nigga, ah right there is a dunk on just take away from the being in the NBA and you know how you size each other up in at the 24-hour fitness or at the park, and you go up and he jumps and you do it? That's considered dunked on, right?

He got dunked on. He jumped and everything. Nobody cares about a whistle. Listen, we sized each other. I kept going. You kept going. We sized up. Hey, you ready?

All right. Come fly with me. Damn. That is what it will be. If Wimby didn't jump. In the room together. If Wimby didn't challenge it. Yeah, if Wimby like, if he heard the whistle and kind of like,

ooh, stop. He'd try to dodge it. Wimby try to look at the ref like, he'll be like, help me. Help me. Help me. Come on, ref. Come on, security. He heard the whistle a little bit louder. Shit, he me. Help me. Help me. Come on, ref. Come on. Security. He's on the whistle a little bit louder.

Shit, he's supposed to stop. Aw, Wimby. He's just a baby. OK, three, four years, ain't nobody doing that shit. And the sad part is you already know he's going to frame this. Yes, you got that. Oh, for sure. That picture.

I'm Wimby. Dunk already up for auction. If I'm Wimby, I'm looking at it like this. It's an accomplishment for you to dunk on me. He didn't dunk for everybody. Second time. It's an accomplishment. It's the second time.

This is something to be cheered for because I'm him, and to dunk on me is to be the top. It feels like Wimby's just Ja's work now. Ja's just one of the elite dunkers that we've ever seen. Ja took back his reigns, right? If Vince Carter, right now, Ja Morant to me. So is Ja the most exciting player in the league now? Yeah, absolutely.

Over Ant-Man now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think Ant-Man took a couple. Yeah, no, Ant-Man needs to go back to dunking on people. He disappointed me this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He needs to go back. It was the Olympics and the energy, the fame,

and all that shit gets to him a little bit. He feeling this over. You know, he leading the league. But Ja got something to prove. He's leading the league in threes, right? Yeah, man shooting the champion They only wait until he's like tomahawk on people Smart they move now like when Vince Carter was Duncan really day smart enough to just move now

There's only a few crash that we still am is struggling with his with his They playing bad so his highlight is not as impactful captain I put his shoes on I was balling You know how you put the shoes on. You know how you put the shoes on and feel the power? I felt it. But that was in the summer. No, that was right now. No, no, no, no. That was a few days ago.

That's why you've been dragged in fucking your league. You crazy. Because you ain't got the 8-Mans on. You crazy. I got the highlights. I'm going to send them to you. Okay. You have some highlights from your adult league.

Of course, baby. I'm videotaping everything now. We got to send the crew out to film when it is. I'm trying to sit there. Can we do a show for when it is? Adult league game? I'm trying to find a corner for my career, bro. Like, walking distance.

Y'all need to do it. I didn't even know there was a high speed right here. Y'all need to live stream the game. I was like, yo, I know this is not right. Can we broadcast when you're adult league game? I was about to go. We can do play-by-play. Yeah, let's get it.

I'm going to give it to my coach. He normally usedplay. Yeah, let's get it. I'm going to get a coach. I'm down. He normally used to come up to me and talk trash. What's up, man? We can do in-game

interviews and everything. I just did that 24 hours ago. Elijah, I need Elijah for the go-to. I'm the coach. Feeling good. I'm the coach now. Brother.

Here's what Ja had to say to the Grizzlies B-reporter Michael Wallace after throwing it down over Wimby after the game? It don't count, so it's not a dunk. John, the people back in Memphis, man, they wanted us to ask you about this one. Like, you went for it, right?

I mean, you could have just not, you heard the whistle, you could have just laid it up on that. The whistle was on my gavel, so I kept going with the play because normally I don't hear no whistle when I drive to the rack or anything. So. All right, but when you saw him, and you saw the opportunity.

There's another person at the rim. Mm. All right. So you dunked on plenty of people, bro. He don't get no pass either. Ah, well. If you at the rim, I'ma try you. That's what I like. I'ma test you.

I like that shit right there. So do you- I disagree with him on it. Let me ask you, do you believe that Wimby is just another person at the rim to Ja? Nah. Not just the person. The person. Yeah.

The one and only. The top of the food chain. That's the top of the food chain. And he just seen Edie. Edie got him earlier in the game, too. That's Bowser. But the problem is Ja already done did that. So to him, it's just another person.

It was like that, though? Nah. It wasn't like that. I think he would have kept going no matter who. Yeah, it was with the left. No, it was the... He barely got him, though. It was a barely win.

You think if it wasn't Wimby down there, he would have kept playing? Yeah. I think so. I think he would have kept going. Back in the day, that would have counted, right? It counts. I know what I'm talking about. He would have put the ball back down.

I don't agree with G. Nah, they stopped the way at the wing. He could have traveled. You jumped. That's all that matters in the hood. In the hood dunk. I believe that we have hands dunked. In the hood. Max. In the hood dunk. This nigga's. I believe that we have Ant's dunk since we were here. In the hood.

In the hood. Ant's dunk on who? Let's play the Ant dunk. When was this? It's the other last week. Last week? Yeah. Ooh.

That's kind of. That's not the same. See? Yeah, see? He don't even jump the same no more. But he didn't even jump. He went out the way, yeah. Is that what y'all are saying?

People don't jump with Ant anymore? They ain't jumping no more, man. That's a point guard can jump. He went out the way, yeah. Is that what y'all are saying? People don't jump with Anthony no more? He ain't jumping no more, man. That's a point guard, too. That's a point guard, too. He jumps. He ain't like last year. He jumps too hard.

That was my favorite player last year. He jumps too hard. He was your favorite player last year? That is not translated to 2025. Nah, nah. I don't like that. It's early, though. We still, we ain't even Black History Month yet.

Well, it's because he shoots too many threes. He jumps with so much power that if you try to block it, that's going to break. He seemed to be at the college last year. I don't know. That's what I'm talking about. I missed that. Nobody jump like that. I think it's Julius.

He might got to get rid of Julius. He's fucking up his mojo. Yeah. Julius is a real man. I knew that. I knew that's what it was going to be. Julius might be. Julius is an alpha, man.

The juju is fucking up everything. Get rid of him. You need to. Why? Because I miss that. I miss Ant. He ain't got that fire. He ain't talking too much.

He's saying that to people. Because it was really Kat's team, though. It was really Kat's team, if we really want to be honest. It was really Kat's team. Now, Kat gone, and there ain't nobody team no more. It was Kat's team until Ant got there. It was Kat's team around 2012. Until Ant got there.

No, I'm saying, listen. Listen, listen. This is what I mean when I say it was Cat's team. They struggled since Cat's been gone. Yeah. You know when your cat that's on the porch is protecting you, all this, uh... You don't want to get a cat mad. Who has a protective cat?

Who has a cat for protection? The zoo. You know what kind of cat they got? Technically. league in 2015. Who has a cat for protection? The zoo. You know what kind of cat they got? You know what kind of cats they got? Lions and tigers. Madagascar.

Okay? That's the kind of cat that went to New York. That's the kind of cat that went to New York, and the cat that was in Minnesota was like, man, I got to defer to Edmund and make him happy, and they played good together. They did. They played good together. They was number one together.

Yeah, I don't disagree. I mean, we all were like, why would they do that? Now, where is New York and where is Minnesota? In the same boat? No. No, New York's number three. New York is the East Coast. We're third in the East.

New York is doing much better. And where is Minnesota now? Seven? Six? Come on, man. Not above the lake. It York is doing much better. And where is Minnesota now? Seven? Six? Come on, man. Not above the Lakers. It's nasty. What's their record?

What's New York's record? So Timberwolves are eighth in the West right now, 21-19. They went from one to eight. Knicks are third in the East, 27-15. Let's go. So speaking of Cat. That was a great transition shot. Thank you for the launch. No doubt.

No doubt. Speaking of Cat, Karl-Anthony Towns missed the Knicks overtime win over the Sixers last night due to injury. We'll talk about the injury in a second, but first we got to discuss his fit selection and halftime wardrobe change. So it was a road game in Philly,

and the Big Bodega is a huge Eagles fan with the Eagles hosting the Rams in a huge division-around playoff game. This weekend, Cat decided to support his favorite football squad. So he must have checked his phone at halftime because Knicks fans weren't happy to see him supporting a Philly team in Philadelphia. He got no good from Steve and other Knicks fans. That's not okay.

So Cat came out for the second half with a new shirt on, repping his Knicks with the New York or Nowhere brand. ESPN also mentioned it on the broadcast and fellow Eagles fan Jalen Brunson supported Cat's decision to wear Eagles gear and said he would have kept it on if it was him. So after the game, he addressed all the talk about his fits on Twitter. Saying, hey, Twitter, sweat stains ain't it on ESPN. Had to pull another fit out.

Anyways, go birds. Mm. Damn. Are you buying Cat's reason for the fit change? That's why they got rid of him. Okay, Carl. That's soft shit. Damn.

Sweat stains on ESPN. Carl Anthony? Government day? Sweat stains on ESPN. You know how he talk. He probably said it like that when he was on Twitter. Sweat stains on ESPN. It's not cool. You know how he talk, he probably said it like that when he was on Twitter. Sweat stains on ESPN.

It's not cool. Don't, don't, don't. Come on, come on. No, but I'm just saying how he talk. You know how he talk. Why would you do that? Why would you do that? Why would you do that?

Don't do that. Don't. Do it again. Do it again. Do it one more time. Sweat stains on ESPN. Only because he has the Knicks. Do it one more time. Sweat stains. Oh, yes, ma'am. Only because he has the Knicks shirt right on. Duh!

Yeah, that's what bothers me. It's like, did you pack for that? You didn't have another fire shirt? You put on the Knicks shirt? Yeah. Did you guys bring multiple shirts with you? No! No, that's why it's weird.

You brought two outfits to the game? That's what I was confused with. Not a tan. These niggas is rich now. Yeah, they different. They got two different outfits. Like, yeah, halftime in the wild. He texted an assistant, go get me a shirt right now.

What? He had that in the equipment bag. If we sweated, we would have just put on our regular uniform. Or the jersey. Or we would have just stayed in the back. I'm not coming out, fella. I'm about to eat we would have just stayed in the back. Stay in the back. I'm not going to count, fellas. I'm about to eat. We had to stay in the back.

We had just watching movies. Right? On the phone. Hey, did we win? Yeah, man. It's taking forever. It's taking forever. What happened?

We got to act. Oh, we lost? Damn, we lost. Put your phone down. Hold on, hold on. I got to go. They came in. They come in.

Damn, man. I got to go. Good game, bro. Good game. Good game. Good game. Good game. Next time, though. Next time. I got to go. They came in. They came in. Man. I got to go. Good game, bro. Good game. Good game. Good game. Good game. Next time, though.

Next time. Come on, man. The fact that we all know that, that's the funny part. Facts. As soon as they come in. If you heard you're not watching a game, you're hanging out in the locker room watching movies, I hope so. What?

Something of that kind. I might take a nap back there. I might take a nap for sure. Going back and forth. Speaking to the work. Training table. We was just winning. Damn, man.

We was just winning when I left. What happened? Don't you push that. He started thinking out of hand. That's the funniest shit, dog. We were in there laughing our asses off. Then somebody come in with, what happened? We lost.

We lost. We lost. How we lose? Damn, we was up. Right? You wasn't watching lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost.

We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost.

We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We lost. We me know. Go ahead and watch. So they all that's your day off. That's your day off. You ain't scouting, man. All right.

I have to get some to eat. I really think a player who ain't playing care about a winner walking into the family lounge. What they got in here? Family lounge. What the food at? Did you remember when you found out about the media food? Oh, the media food. Media food is way better. What? Better than everything. We like, how did they all get different than us?

The media food better than the food? Only because it's all bullshit. They can actually speak to this media food is outstanding. We get all the healthy shit. They get all the bullshit. Somebody come over the plate like, like yo that ain't in the family All right, media room. Yeah, they get food. Yeah, why would you feel somebody coming to like over the whole plate off some like? Yo, where the fuck you get that for?

Honey put your locker Doing film They still start doing film? Yeah. All right. Doing film, too. Hell yeah. They bring us popcorn at halftime. Bring it in, go back to it. Bring it in, go back to it. We get popcorn at halftime. Yeah, popcorn.

Yeah. All right. Well, let's switch to a somewhat serious note. So, Cap missed the game due to a bone chip in his right thumb that he suffered in Monday's loss to the Pistons. He also has a sprain in that thumb as well as well so ESPN reports that Towns plans to play through the injury the big bodega having a career year averaging 25.4 points per game career-high 14 rebounds per game to go along with 55 45 84 shooting splits

the field goal percentage of three-point percentage are also career highs how concerning is this injury to catch shooting hand and do you think it will impact his play? Shod, you are a resident Knicks fan. Made the move this off season. Not much. Yeah, he going to be fine. I think just him playing through it is important. Getting rebounds.

I think Brunson going to continue to do what he do. He can find a sweet spot where he not putting it at risk, where he can find where he can still be effective, give us 15, 18, and 10, you know what I'm saying? Keep us in the hunt. We'll be fine. We'll be fine. We'll be fine.

Exactly where I said we'd be. Shastradamus. Shastradamus, another name. Cemetery Larry, Championship Charles, Shastradamus, the dream killer also. Is that like your future talent, your fortune-telling name? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Sidekick abilities.

Got it. You want to know your future? Nope. Not from you, I don't. You sure? I am positive. What's going on today, guys? You feel a bit... Like, what are you doing? Okay. You sure? I'm positive. What's going on today, guys? Do you feel a bit...

Like, what are you doing? We got Zoltar in the back. You acting like you clean. I am, my brother. You wore that shit last night. Damn. Now you know. You seen me.

I see you. I see you. You seen me. You seen me. How is he at the same place? You know her. You see... Now You see me. How is he at the same place? You know her. You see me. You know her.

You know her. I thought that was your car. I'm walking out like, no, that can't be him. You know her. Who put the $10 on the windshield? Lord help us. Damn. You know her.

I don't even think it's cold. It's cold. It's called immaturity, right? Y'all gotta tell me. I've been around y'all long enough. I think we need to bring Lexus Arena back. We're just coming up with... Too many movies.

For real. That's a free time over there between y'all. They not doing what we doing. Yeah. They not doing what we doing. They can't do what we do. They can't do what we do. It's too natural. It's too natural. Yeah, it's too natural.

This is why this is my favorite show, in addition to the direct deposit that lands comfortably the second day of every month. Mm-hmm. Woop woop. But so no concern. You guys ever played with bone chips before? Any situations like that? And when you're playing through injury, at what point does it just, all right, we need to shut it down for a little bit to really get right? It all depends. It depends on... And injuries is really, it's how you feel game to game, right?

If he doesn't have any pain, then he's not thinking about it, and he's shooting natural. If it's bothering him, then, you know, you're going to have players that's hitting on it and all that. So it's one of those things you do have to be careful with. You do. Right? I mean, all the tape he can do in the world,

but, I mean, you play against Draymond Green, you know he's going to hit the hand. You know what I mean? Don't punch that shit. For sure. Yeah, you know, he's going to fuck with it, so you do have to be careful on who you play, you know? Were you mindful of that in your play?

Fuck yeah. What? Fuck yeah. He a hater, let me fucking duck him. Coming off the pick and roll. Reggie Evans is one of them. Reggie don't give a hell what's wrong with you. Targeting whatever area it is. I'm trying to win a game.

I'm trying to get you. You break your nose and you got a mask on, you'll be... Kobe, man. How many times you get hit in the face, you'll be like, damn. Kobe. Are y'all targeting this mask? Yeah. You know, so it's...

It's one of those things that it should be game to game depending on who they play. It depends on how serious it is, too, yeah, for sure. I had that. I had that, yeah. I'm here in practice. Kobe kept slapping the shit out of it. He thought I was playing. Oh, he thought he was playing. They had to tell him. I had to get extra...

They don't be listening. They call him. They get the same way. I tried to sit out of practice. Man, he ain't hurt, man. Make him practice. Get your ass in here. I said, man, listen to these people. They telling you. Listen to the air, man. What the fuck's that? So he comes laughing in the seat if I'm like really hurt or not.

I said, take it. I got robbed. I ain't got no money. Oh, fuck that. You NBA player, nigga. You got money. Fuck you talking. I got robbed, bro.

I don't want to fucking hear that shit, nigga. Where the fucking donuts? I don't want to fucking hear that shit, nigga. Where the fucking donuts? I don't want to fucking hear that shit. Don't cost that fucking much for donuts, my nigga. Fuck that shit. He stole house money, not donut money. Yeah, I'm like, yeah, but I can't get gas either, bro. You got $15 on you. I got shit.

I'm broke. Look who I hang with, nigga. I got no ends. I got no ends. I got no ends. I got no ends. Players are so insistent. He didn't give a fuck. I was like, shit.

I have to go to the doctor for him to call me. Like, oh, my bad, man. My bad, man. My bad. So, despite the win last night, Knicks have been scuffling a bit lately with a record of 3-4 in January. Some are pointing to the heavy minutes being played by their starters

as a reason for that. As you know, Tibbs, don't believe in breaks. Get your ass out there. So look at the most minutes played this season. Mikael Bridges tops the list. Shout out Mikael Bridges. Still has not missed a game in his NBA career. Josh Hart, second.

OJ Ananomi, third. Jalen Brunson, fifth. Cabell's also ranked in the top ten until recently when he's missed a few games. So the Knicks bench averages 20.4 points per game, fewest in the NBA by four points. The Lakers are 29th at 24.5. Are the Knicks starters being asked to do too much?

This seems like a part of Tim's philosophy. He ain't missed a game yet. That's crazy. And played 83 in one year as well, baby. So he hasn't missed in his career? He's not missed a game. That's crazy. That is insane.

Knock on wood. How many years is that? Impressive for real, though. Knock on wood. He could pay it off for that. Longevity? Yeah. John Stockton only missed 17 games his whole career, right? He had to play in Salt Lake City.

Shit, he's in front of that? He got to. I mean, this is impressive. Yeah. Never. He's not a high-impact guy. Wow. Huh? Defense. He's not a high-impact guy. Ooh, Mikael? Yeah, he's not a high-impact guy. Wow. Huh? He's defense. He's not a high-impact guy. Ooh, Mikael?

Yeah, he's not a high-impact. On the spurs, I would say. I mean, not spurs, on suns. No, think about high-impact, though. Like, he's not an athletic runner or jumper. He don't go to the lane. You're not going to see him twisting no ankles. You're not going to... The most you'll see him probably try to do is...

Oh, like high-impact as far as, like, how he plays. Like, how he plays. Not, like, how he affects the game. Yeah, very conservative player. Like, the way he would get hurt would be, like, high impact as far as, like, how he plays. Like, how he plays. Not, like, how he affects the game. Yeah, very conservative player. Like, the way he would get hurt would be, like, a freak landing or something. It wouldn't be no went to the lane and somebody hit you with something. He's very low impact, so you can survive. But he do, like, they do put him on the best defenders.

Sometimes you got to chase people off screens. That shit screens that shit What should I come off a Reggie Avery's thing? What's the risk of injury from there? Very low? Very low your 2019 is reggie. I haven't said that's coming. He's playing. Yeah. No he playing No impact he's like his style of play. I know he's not like you just in his style of play Yeah, but still 82 games. Yeah, to play the whole thing. Every, what, seven years? How many times has he fouled out?

Let me see. See, that lets me know what kind of player you truly are. Is this his first year at the Knicks? A 3 and D guy. I hope so. If he's going to miss time, it's going to be playing for the Knicks because he's running up to the ground. Why ain't that boy's pick a swinging?

Unless he don't care about his stats like that, because he likes the fact that he plays every game, then maybe he'll just play a little bit on those rest days. Nah, what's he gonna eat though? Because he ain't get COVID. He seems like he's one of those guys. Oh yeah, didn't he say that every day? He eats Chipotle? Chipotle. And he's thin. And he's thin. I had Chipotle yesterday.

I mean, he just probably took care of his body. Yeah, low impact guy. He probably do the Stairmaster. I had Chipotle last night. He do rowing and shit. That's what I said. Yeah, he got bridge people shit down. He do Pilates. He got the good work.

Yeah. The good work. Yeah. His work ain't keeping him up at night. I bet you he's no better. Look at other Ironmen around the league in NBA history. Elvin Hayes played 1,303 out of 1,312

possible games in his 16th career. AC Green played 1,278 out of 1,281 games. Still impressive. Before you start, don't start. There it is. He played. Don't start, AC Green. Don't start. There it is. He played to me, and he played.

Don't start. A.C. Green. Don't you come here anymore. I'm just saying, listen. They had Chuck Taylors on, right? That's what... Shit, you could play in Chuck's now. Imagine what you got to be on to actually go out there and not feel no pain.

Whoa! Shit! Let's go! They want to go to the outside. go out there and not feel no pain. Woo! Shit! Let's go! I imagine you were saying a strong relationship with God. They had the Laker Club. What's the Laker Club? You telling me they had no surgeries?

Motherfuckers walking like this now. Not one surgery. He was 16, now he's 5'11", right? is walking like this now. Look at A.C. Grint. Now, one serve, he was 16, now he's 5'11", right? He's 16, 5'11", now. But you're telling me there wasn't enough

some good stuff to walk through that pain. I bet. That walk was great. And Stockton played 1,504 out of 1,526 career games. Only missed 22 games in his career.

Because why was your arms messed up too? He's doing his stanky legs. You talk about their legs and your arms. What's wrong with you? Why did you mess your arms up too? Like, yo, what major injuries you had? No. Just wear and tear.

Just wear and tear. Wear and tear. I've been feeling shit for the last 15 years. Last 15 years. I years but numb down right Back to the next seems like we have this conversation every year. We're talking about a Tim Tim's lead team Almost at Tim's New York is on my mind Any concern with Starters playing this heavy of a workload and the impact is gonna have come playoff time

I ain't gonna lie man. If you if you're a new starter man, this is the best coach you ever had Absolutely, if you a bench player Don't even look over here, I have to sit you for the whole first half. Like, God damn. Don't even look over here, coach. I'm not going in. I'm just sitting this long. The state of Mississippi isn't concerned with your metallurgical You got to toot your ass to work.

He's saying, God, boss. It's hot. You don't probably remember this. He said he's tired. Tim came to try out to be our coach in the Wizards, and he came for one practice and quit. You do not want this, brother. I'm like, man, I'm not feeling the walk down. Like, man, I'm not doing all this shit. to be our coach in the Wizards, and he came for one practice and quit. Y'all like,

man, I'm not... Gillian walked out like, man, I'm not doing all this shit. And then quit the next day. We got... We set examples around here, my man. Said we're not doing none of this. Right?

And then with the ball... I'm out. Yep. Damn. Oh, that shit was so funny, man. What did y'all do to make him leave? He came to practice for one day. He came for one day.

Walked out. They walked out. He didn't finish the practice. We didn't finish the practice. He finished with some, you know, the young guys. Oh, so y'all walked out of his practice. Yeah, we had enough. Isn't it something like they was going through like the... I thought you were saying he walked out of his practice. Yeah, we had enough. Isn't it something like they was going through like the trial.

I thought you were saying he walked out of the practice. Yeah. So y'all was like, oh, yeah, we off this. And he quit. They was giving him a chance like a trial. Crazy. Because he was, um. So what was the drill that made y'all be like, no.

OK. Yeah, what was going on? Just think about it like this. You ever go to a gym and get a new trainer? What does that first workout look like? It's very intense. Intense, trying to impress you. Trying to break you.

Wait a minute, sir. You're not about to have to. We got 10 line drills. We're about to do this, do that. It was like July, though. Like, yeah, June. It's summer. It's summertime.

I'm not ready to do all this, coach. Because we came for the summer league. We came for our summer league, and we was all, like, hooping and shit. Whose man's is this? Whose man's is this? I'm going to live the same day, man. All right, well. That's crazy.

Let's shift focus to Adam Silver's Western Conference. Talk about a team that we don't talk about enough on this show, the Los Angeles Lakers. Lakers beat the Heat last night as Miami struggles without Jimmy Butler. And the reality is if Jimmy Butler did play, they still would have lost. But one of the coolest moments of the game... They ended up winning?

Lakers, yeah. Okay. You act like you weren't watching. I was not watching. I'm going to tell Rob Fukazaki what you're on over here, all right? I see. Tell him. I'm going to tell Rob what you're on over here

and not watching the Lakers. Tell him. So, beat the heat without Jimmy Butler. One of the coolest moments of the game was in the first half when a young fan was very excited to interact with LeBron Corsod. We got the video here. A lot of emotion there. She was overcome, overwhelmed.

Gets a close-up view of LeBron. I get it. Seeing greatness that close. It is LeBron. Understand the moment does it? I get it. She's ingrained. It's that club Look over there. Yeah That's how my work That is how you work, Cliff. Yeah. That's literally... You're waking up. What the fuck is this?

There was a lot of emotion there, but the interaction didn't stop. That's not how Jigsaw moves around. That's the joke. Yeah. Wrong character. After the game, LeBron went over to the fan, gave her some wristbands. Family friend said, did you send me the code? There it is.

Went over to the fan, gave her some wristbands. Post for a photo. Shout out to the other girl who also jumped in the photo. Smart move to get in the flick with LeBron. Ain't no jersey as far with that jersey. Jack and Jerry, that's a trip. Ain't spending something. Let me get that jersey off you, bro.

But yeah, smart move to get in that photo. So in his post-game media availability, LeBron addressed how he found out about the fans' initial reaction during the game and why he decided to go back and meet the fan after the game. Family friend sent me the clip at halftime. And thank goodness that I actually looked at my phone at halftime or I wouldn't have even seen the reaction when I waved to her in the first half. I waved to her and then I got back to play.

So to have that type of connection with someone where they can have that type of reaction, I think that's what it's all about. I've always tried to be a role model and someone that kids can look up to me, men, women, whatever the case may be, and try to make them proud and want to come see me play, or if they're not able to see me play, hopefully some of the things that I do off the floor

continue to inspire them, but that was a super dope moment shout out to LeBron man of the people engaging with fans that's one thing I like about LeBron though he makes fans cry which is his mere aura no no he do like do that type of stuff for the, for like, he's like better with outside of basketball than any other goats, I feel like. And I feel like a kid that's like seven or five as a young girl, the crime when she see LeBron, you know, that's, think about that. So MJ would have been like, fuck that kid.

My kids would have been like, we're Bronny. My kids would have been like, where Bronny? My kids would have been like, where Bronny at? Shit like that. Where Bronny at? Bronny also very respectful of his kids. He is, but that's dope. That's dope. Lexi, are you surprised to see the effect LeBron has on fans?

No. Okay. I mean, I agree with Nick. The way he interacts with fans and the community. I can't. I can't the community. I can't. I can't take this. I can't. Why did you even put that on in that moment?

Like, what made you put that on? Yeah, I'm trying to get the reason behind that. I need some context. I thought this was the Spurs. Stop looking at me like that. Like, when they put the clip on, you put the mask on. Why? That's not a good moment right there?

You want to play a game, right? We all want to play a game, right? God. It's the LeBron game. Sigh. You like commercials? Hey, that's one of the greatest commercials. Sigh. Huh, huh. Sigh. You see that commercial? Hey, that's one of the greatest commercials. Sigh.

On everything. Granny, that's an offensive line. Granny, that's an offensive line. I said, huh, huh. Sigh. What a great commercial. I don't even know what they were selling. Anything on the market?

Nothing, Rashad. You ain't got nothing to say? David, it is our Friday here in New York. Come on, man. I know you got something good to say. You ain't got nothing good to say about LeBron interacting with me. Oh, okay. I get what you're doing.

You ain't trying to tell him what to say, something good about LeBron. I get it. All right. I get it. Shot did foil our plot. Staying on business. Staying on business. We did have a meeting before the show.

We said we would have to make sure Sean say something positive about LeBron. In this very moment, he had the mask ready. The people's champ. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. No. So let's shift it over, Sean. You can remove the mask. We have shifted the conversation from LeBron now.

So what's it like to meet someone who is a huge fan of yours? Like, for y'all, how cool is that to see somebody that maybe brought the tears or just... Okay, you're back. Look how hot you was under that. Right? Sweating. You was sweating. It's weird.

I was bored. That's your I'm bored mask? Yeah, when y'all start talking about certain shit, it gets boring. You bring that on your dates? Yes, I do. Imagine walking into a restaurant and seeing him put that on. Oh, it's cosplay for sure. Oh, yeah.

We're going to dress up. We're going to dress up and role play. That's Jigsaw is insane. You better run. You better run. If I catch you. Jigsaw doesn't chase people. They don't.

I set you up. Yeah. You gonna run into that trap. You been running into that trap. Y'all are sick of us. You gotta do you gotta do something you gotta put your pinky toe up in order to get out of this Now y'all see why I didn't win shit fuckers like this Whole team fully like it don't matter what dumb shit Nick always gonna chime in I had fuckers like this on the team. Okay? Like, this is a whole team full of E's.

Oh, shit. Like, it don't matter what dumb shit. Nick always going to chime in to it. No matter what. He's smart. He a genius. He a genius. In real time, too.

Boom. I got you. Klay made me talk in the mouth. I got you. I got you back, man. This show is unscripted, off the cuff. Oh, shit. Oh, my God.

Y'all are crazy. But back to the initial question. What's it like to meet someone who's a huge fan of yours? Weird. And when I say weird, it's because, you know, you have your fans, and then the ones that are really, really fans is... It's scary that someone is that in love with you off of what they seen in a game or an interview right like it just doesn't comprehend like oh okay cool cool all right no i'm really

in love take a picture okay hey right It's like you don't understand that. Yeah, we don't feel that way. And that's why, like, taking a picture with someone who's asking for an autograph, I always do it. Because, one, they're going to remember that forever. You're not. When's the last time somebody asked you for an autograph, though? That's kind of... Hey, man, can I get your autograph?

Like, just walking down the street. That's kind of... That's weird. You know what I'm thinking? People ask for pictures. I don't never get autographs. What? Why are you doing this? This nigga said somebody asked me for an autograph.

What the fuck is this? Hey, hey. Announce, you know at the beginning of the show, you announce him? Announce him again. the show you announce him? Announce him again. How do you announce him? We have NBA champion of the world, Waggy Pignac, yo. He won a championship and nobody knows who the fuck he is inside of the autograph.

That's crazy. Hey, how many followers you got? How many followers? Don't do that. You got yours from your girlfriend. Iggy got your... Iggy. You freaking up shit from eight years ago. You ain't moved 1,000 since.

You crazy as fuck. You crazy as hell. Goat dog food. You crazy as hell. You know who I am? You crazy as hell. When you go to Netflix... I remember when you got that...

on for Una Memento. Una Memento? So Lakers went with a starting five, Lakers went with a starting five. Lakers went with a starting five of LeBron, A.D., Rui, Austin Reeves, and Max Christie last night. Gil, you're a resident Lakers fan. What's the best Lakers lineup right now? What's the Lakers lineup when they're on the court that gives you confidence that they can score more points than their opponent?

What's the best one? He got the phone out. What happened to the other rookie? Off the connect. What happened? Re-op plan. He stopped playing though. Yeah, they stopped playing.

Spent a little too much time at this loss and swapped me. He was hooping. Hanging with Austin Reeves. He was killing. You know who was... I like the Christie kid, Reeves, Rui, LeBron, and AD. And then I'll use Kinect.

I'm playing... Kinect got to be sick. I'm playing like six or seven people. I'm not. I mean... Unless you're playing the Heat, then Gabe Vincent. Gabe Vincent was balling yesterday. He was balling yesterday. He was auditioning.

I'm telling you. I'm going to go back home. South Beach. Send him back. Send him you. I'm going to go back home. South Beach. Send him back. Send him back. They don't want him back. Why they don't?

Why don't they want him back? They need him. They offered him. No, they didn't. They didn't offer him? Yep. I thought it was like... No, they let him go.

They let him go. Like Martin. Apparently he offered Martin, but he took Philly in his bag. But that was just Martin. He wanted to get running and shit. They let Maxie... They mean they let him, Gabe, and they let Shrews. So we was the only ones that wanted to start running and shit. They let Maxie, I mean, they let him run Gabe, and they let Shrews.

So we was the only ones that wanted Gabe Vincent, and we did that? Yes. For that much money, probably. Gabe Vincent had 14. That's the most he ever had on a record. Nah, but he was happy when they got Gabe until Gabe showed up and he was Gabe, and it was like, that's what you got.

It was a G. He called him a G League player, and he got excited when he got him. He was like, that's what you got. It was a G. He called him a G League player and he got excited when he got him. He was like, yo, we've got a G League player. You know how it be like the lower hunger? Higher lower. Higher lower, it be like 0.5. You think Gabe going to make a point? You think it.

You think it. For sure. It's 0.5. He got to get a point. It ain't in the first quarter. It's the whole game. Whole game. 17 minutes, guaranteed. No, nothing. He don't get nothing. He be ain't in the first quarter. It's the whole game. Whole game. 17 minutes, guaranteed.

No, nothing. He don't get nothing. He's like, damn. Half-14 last night. I know. Last night. And his season average is 0.3. Now, is that a career high?

That's a career high in a Lakers uniform. Yeah, that's the best. Yeah. You know, it's an adjustment period. And he was hurt for a while. He was hurt for a long time. It's an adjustment period. It's the L.A., all right? So a while. He was hurt for a long time. It's an adjustment period, Steve.

LA, all right? We've been dealing with a lot of shit out here. Gabe averaging 4.5 points, though. OK. Versus 19 minutes a game. That's cool. How many minutes? 19.

It ain't the players, man. It's JJ. No. No. No. No. Start that shit up. No.

Chai, you had previously said, before JJ got the job, that in words, fuck with JJ. No. No. No. No. Start that shit up. No. Chai, you previously said, before JJ got the job, that N-words fuck with JJ. Yes. Okay. Are you changing that tune? No, that's the issue. Oh, they buddy-buddy? Yeah, that's the issue.

He ain't... He not putting down authority amongst the team. You're not placing accountability. You don't think so? No. You look like a circus, bro. You look like a accountability. You don't think so? No. It look like a circus, bro. It look like a circus. And JJ swear.

I mean, take AD and Bron out of it. Yeah, I think. He would be able to coach that team if you took them out of it. You still coach them. You're supposed to coach them. No way. You don't ever coach the stars. You gotta coach AD and Bron.

You gotta coach everybody else. It's a fake system that you have to put in just for them two. If you just didn't have them two, you would be able to actually play a system that all the other players have to abide by. What? For them two? Are you saying LeBron and Anthony Marchand? I'm saying if you take them out of there, they would have to run a system.

He needs to coach a starless team? No, no, no. I'm saying the system needs to be starless. Because the stars that are playing in the NBA right now, they don't need a system. They play on their own. They play isolation ball. Everybody else in the NBA don't have a system and they don't have all the stars that are performing every night. That's why you see the discrepancy in ball. Right now it's because you don't have a system and you got two guys dominating

the ball doing iso shit. When they out of the game, what do you have? Nothing. No system, no plays, no sets, no nothing. Everybody pick and roll, dive and cut. That shit is whack, it's weak, it's killing the league, and that's because of the lazy coaching. No other way to cut it, because you can't blame the players. They out there running what the coach say. Then we blame guys like Bradley Bill and them because they're out there like, what do we do?

What do I do? I ain't really... Nah, I can't do that. What do I do? What's the system? What's the cuts? What we running? Are we executing? Nah, we just shooting fucking threes. We just shooting fucking threes. They playing one on one though.

Who, the Lakers? Phoenix. Well, I'm just referring to the Lakers. Like as far as JJ and plays and sets, ain't nothing going on out there. They don't have enough ISO players. Yeah, I don't think they got ISO players. You don't need ISO players with a system. If I'm coming off pin downs from the wide pin down.

They have. They got Ron and AD. Let me go ahead and draw this over to y'all. Who needs ISO players on a team? Are you have a clipboard with... Every team need an ISO player. Are you going to Darwin Hammett? Why?

You're going to draw some space? Because you can't run. Sometimes you need somebody that can just get a bucket. Where does the bucket? The system provides the bucket. No, no, no. 100%. If we ran a set

If we ran a set where you got the wide pin down, right? From the big. Big got the pinch post the wide pin down, right? Mm-hmm. From the big. Bring the camera over. Big got the pinch post, wide pin down, coming down left side of the floor, the point guard. Corner field. Right?

Big comes down, runs to the, under the rim. Go down here and set this motherfucking pin down. Come off. You know that's a shot right there. But that's good for Alabama. For who? For the guard. But you can't run that's a shot right there. But that's good for the guard. But you can't run that every time. But you can't because we used to run floppy.

You gotta have a free-flowing offense. We used to run floppy, right? Remember what floppy was? It was one of our secondary offenses. It was a secondary offense. So you come down, you got a quick hitter, right? You don't got that. He curls. Curls. Hot pinch. Right? Curl all the way in.

Now, this big that set this screen, come in here. Set this pick and roll. Come off this shit. You rise, you roll. Now, pass it back up here. Guess what we got on the weak side? Throw it up here, he rise. We come off this shit, you boom, you duck in.

You see all this gibberish, though? It's not gibberish. It's not gibberish. But the coaches don't want to go through this because the players can't identify what the fuck it is. Like, what did you just draw up? We just draw the weak side thing down. You think LeBron and them ain't seen that?

Of course, LeBron and them have, but that's why LeBron gets frustrated because these are simple actions that they don't comprehend. He's like, God damn, man, I just want you to go down there and come off this, and then we come off this. AD, you dive, you rise, Rui. You got a shot, we got to duck in, put it in.

That's simple basketball. It's simple, but- It seems simple. I didn't- Yeah. That's a lot of- It's a lot of- Thinking. Thinking. It's a lot of- What we came from, what we came from, was that not expected of us?

They played fast. Was it expected of us to notice you? If somebody comes down shooting a three, you come down taking your time. But if we play with Gil, like we're playing with Gil, and we have fast break opportunities, we're not trying to set the offense up, right? Because he's fast enough to offset the defense, but we can get somebody open.

But every team ain't got no Gil. That's what I said. They ain't got the players. Everybody, yeah. So why would you try to play that way? But they can't slow it down that much. Yes, you can because you can't play fast. You can't.

You're not going to score enough in that. No, no, no. Because of secondary offense. So they don't do what the older generation did. When the wings are running, they're already running through. So when they're running through and we're at a point, I'm already. I'm going to throw. Straight to the corners. Yes, they go straight to the corners. So when they're running through and we're at a point, I'm already, I'm going to throw. Straight to the corners.

Yeah, they go straight to the corners. So I'm going to pass it up. Maybe we get the pistol action. Yes. And then Gil can cut through. And if we don't, if I pass it, once I get it back,

that action's happening. Yeah. So it's always a quick hitter. And everybody's moving. Everyone's moving. Defensively, you can't set when you got Gil cutting through. You got Nick rising from the corner

I got the big dive. It was only we only ran plays do that We did after free throw did big ball Other than that we're trying to like think about Steve Nash and him it was the they it was so fast That you couldn't set your defense. At all. Like they already knew what was going on. Yup. Like it was, like they understood spacing.

But now they not running through cause sometimes they wide open for the three. That's cause they jogging up. They don't know spacing. They don't even run to the corner. They don't run to the deep corner. Like I don't. I'm running to my spot nowadays.

They're not even running to the corner. I'm running to where I like to shoot at. They run into the wing. Yeah, because that's the difference in the spacing. That's the spacing right there. This deep corner, the deep corner is the difference between these two steps right here. Remember when you was on the same side, you sent that other person through? Yeah, sent them through.

I sent them through. I used to always send them through. Hey, go through. I'm tired of seeing them. Go through. Go! Go! But that's the difference between now and then is that the spacing gives you more opportunity

for roll and rise, gives you opportunity for the point guard to actually see the angles for passes. You see all these short bounce passes that they're doing because the lane's so crowded, there's no good spacing. But think again, like you said, secondary offense. But at the same time, that's still just a pick and roll. Right, and like Gil said, push ahead and run through for the wings. When you're running through, the option for it,

the hardest thing to guard with Utah back then was Harper and Karolinko running through, and they move, and they might stop and post you up. Even Carmelone. Think about when we watch Carmelone highlights. It's all fast break. It's all fast break. He's sitting there doing this because they actually ran. They ran.

They ran the fucking floor. And he ran. He was big that ran. Like the most irritating person to guard when I was playing with. Rip Hamilton, Kerry Kittles. Oh, yeah. Like you talking about somebody who it looked like a 40 yard dash every time the ball went

up. When you shot the ball, he took off. Like that was his only job. You see the ball go. He was a leak out guy. He was a leak out guy. He was a leak out guy. Yeah.

You see there, you doing, like the only person who could have guarded him and shot is Steph. You can shoot and get back. Yeah, facts. You sit there. You're doing, like, the only person who could have guarded him and shot is Steph. You can shoot and get back. Yeah, facts. He messing up everybody's follow-through because of that. Nah, facts. Everybody's, like, walking up the court now. John Wall used to go full speed. Full speed, yeah.

I see you out here minding the game. I like it. For sure. Running that corner. I know I could not run, John, so. Yeah. Run to that corner, he'll hit you. Because if you ain't up, if you running next to me, you ain't getting the ball.

So it's. That's how we play. They going to bring everybody in. That's how we play the Carolina, though. I came in the league playing that way, expecting to play fast. So I go to Minnesota where it's slow. They took out all the running through. All the running through. Just pick and roll, yeah.

So now I'm sitting in the corner waiting for the road rise and all that action. That was boring. Carolina transition offense. Man, fast as fuck. We up and down. For real road rides and all that. That was boring. Carolina transition offense. Man, fast as fuck. We up and down. For real. We know.

We sinked it. We sinked it. Yeah, we played like that, too. What you looking at me like that for? You good? Y'all beat Carolina? Because of what? We think that the game is faster now,

but it's just because we shoot the ball quicker. You're not playing any faster. Y'all play Duke. Oh, yeah. We play Duke. You mean in the shot clock? Are they? What?

They throwing up them threes fast as hell. Are they shooting in like five seconds? Is it five seconds? Because we're like, they're playing faster. But are they really playing faster? Or are they just throwing up shots faster? Yeah, that's actually a good point. Because they not playing faster.

They shooting the shot. They shooting faster. They shooting that shot when that. Because when you sit and watch some of them run through the offense, there's a lot of people walking. They shooting that shot. They don't cut hard. They're not spreading the screens all the time. No, I get what she's saying.

They're not necessarily playing faster. It's not they're playing fast. They're shooting... They're shooting bad quick shots. They shooting more. They shooting the first... You can see two or three times in the game, it's three. Missed three.

Missed three. Bad shots. Bad shots. Even if it goes in, it's still a bad shot. Because it's that guy you pitch ahead. It's him. You pitch ahead. He know he got a shot. That used to be a bad shot.

No, yeah. I'm pitching ahead so you can give it back. Not shoot the ball. Exactly. The fuck you think this is? That's the one. That's the one. That's the one.

As soon as he catches it. I don't want to dribble it. You know who fucked that up? Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson got the pitch ahead and never looked at nobody but the rim. But who is it? Klay Thompson.

Exactly. Everybody thinks they Klay. They're like, only Klay can do that. There's only a few people that can do this. Cal Corvert, those type of guys. And they're only going to do two or three. Only a handful of guys. I'm told to pass Corvert. Yep, those type of guys. There's only gonna do two or three Only a handful of guys I'm told to pass it pitch ahead because it makes a defense shit

You pass it a day trucking it do we even see that the fucking pistol action anymore? I don't see no pistol with garbage to ask the guard the guard on into the pick and roll pass it take off I got it Yo Guard the guard into the pick and roll. Pass it. Take off. Got it. All the way to the rim. Yo. In the WNBA. Yo. Two people in the pistol right now will kill the league.

Kill everybody. De'Aaron Fox. Ooh. Ja Morant. Man. Ooh. With the corner field pistol. When he throw a head.

You know how everybody's moving. He throw a head. And you know the defense. Are you saying guard the guard pistol? Hell oh yeah go throw it up to the wing yeah and they do one of them you take off yeah yeah yeah now he's coming yeah like the guard the guard i don't think i've seen a pistol action in a long time in the nba think about that though if you see them if you've seen it and you like he said put the air fox in there with Malik Monk, right? With Sabonis. So you do the quick pitch ahead

to Malik. Now you got to dribble with a handoff with Monk or not. Because I can now fake it, and then I can throw it to him late. He curl all the way to the rim. Now I can come off the pick and roll with me and Sabonis. You do it on the left side, because De'Aaron's left.

So you pass it and he gets to turn the corner here. Malik is right-handed. Fake it. He gets to come off his right hand. And Malik can space in the corner. He can space while Sabonis rolls. Now he got to take that roll, guy. Now Malik Monk, your best three-point shooter, shooting a three-pointer.

Very fundamental basketball. It's simple. It's not played and they don't play There's like certain teams that should, that should be running something because of

the athletes you have have an advantage, right? De'Aaron is faster without the ball. Yes. So if he pitches ahead and it's just him

and a guy trying to backpedal, he has the advantage. So when he passes it and then take off. Yeah. And he get more fouls that way too.

Alonzo Ball. Oh my god Think about this think about this one pass the ball ahead think about when you pass it ahead right this play when you there's two Guards here you pass it a forward you get it and then they set a flare on the other side Oh, man, throw that that the baseline baseline throw that mother all baseline. Throw that motherfucker all the way to the other side corner. We used to use that play for like last second. I can't throw it with my left. I really love that game. And I'm like, damn, that was a good play. That was a good play.

When's the last time you said that? How often do you say that in this career? That's a great play. Not to say that's a good pass. That's a good read. But like when you can tell they drew something up. That's what I was trying to tell Kenyon right there. You can tell that they drew something up.

As a Hooper, you know they drew that up. They execute. That's great execution right there. Oh, yeah, back cut, bounce pass. Oh, layup. Easy bucket. Easy bucket. What team we usually see doing easy execution buckets?

Denver Nuggets. Denver Nuggets is the only team. Calvin Booth. The only team that's implemented old school foundation. Calvin Booth. That's it. Teammate. Easy bucket.

And I think Atlanta Hawks, too, because I ain't going to say Quinn Snyder. I'm just going to say Trey Young. Trey Young has forced the space in the look like it does when you run a pick and roll with a guy who can dunk. Yeah, but everybody's so ball dominant now. Yeah. It's one of our shoes. It's YouTube. It's a step back.

It's a step back. Come off the pick and roll. Like the game last night. I mean, they don't make every shoes is you do this a step back is a step back come off the pick and roll like the game Let's I mean I don't make every play He came off a down off McDales. He lost him and he got a wide-open three off After timeout though remember that's oh Golden State's a nice place great defender. I like that's the best part about watching them is you actually see them execute is beautiful. Yeah, you're like, oh, yeah That's a fucking great play, you know exactly where the ball is going and they still get it to me I just know because it cuz seems like Dallas and Phoenix on your turn

They don't look good no Don't look good. No It don't look good no more. It don't look good no more, man. It don't look good no more when we're trying to play team ball and win, and you complain about not getting there because you playing one way. Can you imagine playing with Luka and just sitting and watching, waiting for him to pass you the ball? No, no, no. I see how it is. P.J. Washington.

This is literally how P.J PJ Washington look in the game Might come this way This is your ganganging on the course. I'll be laughing my ass off, man, like, PJ's wild. So, good, you talked about the Warriors. Let's get into it a little bit. With all the talk about the Warriors being cooked, Chef Curtis decided to do some cooking of his own Wednesday night with a vintage performance on Ant-Man and the Wolves.

Warriors were without Draymond Kaminga and former Wolf Kyle Anderson, but Steph hit seven threes in the game, leading the Warriors with 31 points and eight dimes to help his squad get back to 500. Warriors were up 22 points after the first quarter, but held off a Wolves comeback to get the one-point win. So Steph took some heat in the national media over the past few days for his comments saying that the struggling Dubs shouldn't make a desperate move that would deplete their future he answered it or should should not should not make a desperate move but shit you don't have to make it just make a move that's not desperate but you know i'm just a host merely a host as they say so he answered those critics directly and after the game he told

the athletics anthony slater anyone who thinks i'm okay being on an average basketball team is insane. So should Steph start putting some public pressure on the Warriors front office to get not even a desperate move, but a good move, a good move that they got Schroeder, they traded for Schroeder. First of all, you're addressing people that don't got no fucking idea about how to win a game. You know, let alone, you know, you're sitting there wasting your time. Like, you're forced to talk to the media, but to sit there and talk about what you need, what you wouldn't do, like, it's a waste. It's really a waste of breath.

All he can do is just go out there and try to perform at the best he can. If they make a trade. But he's telling you, as a basketball player, as a guy who's been here from the beginning, it ain't worth trading these young assets for a quick hitter. So that means he's telling you that we don't need some heroic play here. Just get a solid player that can help us, and we should be good. But do you feel like that's mixed messaging a little bit? Hey, don't leverage our future for us right now,

but also I don't want to be on an average team. Maybe he's talking to his teammates. No, he doesn't. It does. He doesn't. He's talking to his teammates. He's saying do not... Tighten up.

Teammates, maybe. He's telling you do not do not tighten up no mates He's telling you do not make a tree For all for for that team over there There's nobody on that team over there that is gonna help us out. So don't trade all these pieces for He was cool. Who's the boys cool with trading Jordan pool away though? Yeah, you ain't say nothing about that piece that you let go because your homeboy couldn't control himself. I don't want to hear none of this bullshit out of these dudes no more.

Man, he's telling you I don't... It made no sense. Who wanted to go there? Isn't Jimmy Butler... Wasn't that a big... I mean, there's been reports that... Man, he's basically shutting that down. A certain Greek superstar would want to make his way there.

Any superstar player is going to be worth a lot of money. A Cameroonian superstar would want to make his way there. Any superstar player is going to be worth a lot of money. A Cameroonian superstar would want to make his way there at some point. Same thing. Do not do what you're trying to do. So the names that's probably popping in, they're saying this is not a good fit. He's saying this is not a good fit. When he hears the right name, trust me. Wiggins was a good fit.

Who? Hey, Steph. Wiggins was a good fit. Good? Wiggins was. Yeah. Steph. He's going to have to go. But Jimmy Butler wouldn't be a good fit to them. We donins. Was. Yeah. Steph. But. He's going to have to go.

But Jimmy Butler wouldn't be a good fit to them. We don't know. But, and B wouldn't. If that's who they're playing. Do you want to, do you want to, do you want to win? But he's saying. He said he don't want to be on the average team. That's the only question I'm asking.

All the other shit, let's just calm it down. Do you want to win? He said he doesn't want to be on an average team. I got that. Yes, I want to win. Yes, you want to win. Do you want to win? Yes. Do you want to win? He said he doesn't want to be on an average team. I got that. Yes, I want to win. Yes, you want to win? Do you want to win?

Yes. Do you want to win, Steph? Sure. OK, sure. You just don't want to use your fingers? But maybe he's going to be in the front office after. Yes, you want to win, Steph. Right, so we want to win.

Guess what the window is for winning? We don't want to be an average team. Guess what the window is for winning? Now. You don't have a choice, Steph. Now, you either look good and try to win now or you look like a sucker talking about you want to save what for who?

What? They just broke up the band? What is left to salvage here? He should have said that. And I'm telling you, the trade you trying to make, we're not going to win, so don't do it.

I understand. That's all I'm saying. But if this the only trade we can make, if this the only not going to win. So don't do it. I understand. That's all I'm saying. Since you think you're about to do, if this is the only run we can make. He don't like it, so now he's kind of addressing it in this roundabout way. Do you think this way is cool for him to address it this way? Maybe he learned from what just

happened. They're saying the same stuff. They're all saying the same thing. Draymond said it. The coach said it. He said it. What you're trying to do does not fit the rest of us. So do not make – Don't do it. But y'all didn't say nothing about us getting rid of the main guy that could have took us the other way. But we did.

But don't make another mistake. That's what I said. They probably learned from training Klay the – what's the name? No, they didn't play dip. They didn't train Klay. They just dis try to play. They just disrespect it. What I'm saying, listen, if you're going to say you don't want to make a move for the immediate and that you want to wait and salvage for the future, that means you're not.

That move. We don't know what move it is, but whatever the move that we're talking about, we don't want it. That sounds like a scared response. That sounds like, please don't make no drastic decisions, guys. Come on, man. Don't make that drastic decision. We don't need to win now. They might get Giannis, right?

I mean, there's a lot of names that have been thrown out there. I think they keep talking about a desperate move or a win-now mentality. And Draymond's saying they've never had to be a win-now team. That's previously now. Like, now you're in a situation, you're an average team in the NBA. 500. Back where it was before you got there. So why do you care about six, seven years down the road?

Because you're going to get that shit out. You know, he's basically saying what you're going to get rid of ain't worth what's coming back for our team. I'm trying to be honest. You might bring back a superstar that don't match how we play. We might end up looking like Phoenix where the names ain't

clicking. We got history though, Gil. We got history of making good decisions. Last time we did this, we did. No, no, no. We did not. No, no. The person that made those decisions ran. He jumped off the boat. We got a different situation. We did not know. The person that made those decisions ran. Yes.

He jumped off the boat. We got a new captain. Right. He ain't worthy. We don't know. We do know. We can't trust what he's doing right now. Yes, facts.

And that's what we're saying. We're like, hey, hold up. I know you just got here, but wait, relax. No, he's like, no, I'm not fucking relaxing. We got rid of one. The rest of you niggas is nothing. You're next. You're next. Don't be scared now. scared. That's it. Don't be scared. Don't be scared now. I see trembling

I see. Oh, no, we never had to be desperate. So let's Afraid that they could try to get rid of them. Yes Yes, yes, if you what is what are they saying? What are they saying? Let's read through it Let's not jeopardize our core main piece or our future piece for something now. What is he saying? Let's not get rid of our future. Don't get rid of, basically, don't get rid of Kaminga for something else. So who we got to get rid of if we got to get rid of somebody?

He's saying don't get rid of Kaminga and probably a couple other. In his mind he's saying Audacity, I know you're not gonna get rid of me. No, no, I have nothing to do with him. No, I'm talking about Steph. Don't be desperate. We don't have to be desperate. Because I know you're not gonna get rid of me to be desperate. And don't trade the young pieces. So Steph, what do we do?

Bring him something he likes. With what piece? With Draymond. We gotta do it with Draymond. Don't trade. We gotta do it with him. Don't throw, like let's say they try to make a deal where they're saying Kaminga and Wiggins for Jimmy Butler. He's basically saying no.

To that deal, but there's other potential deals around the league. Did none of them sound good? What has sound good for how they play the game? if you were placing Jimmy there's only a few people that with Wiggins it's just yeah if just Wiggins yes and cominga no he's saying no cuz he might like remember what if you how he plays throw his throw he plays he might like cominga who Jimmy Jimmy no No, Steph. Just like Joker, right? Oh, we don't want Joker. I mean, we don't want Russ. And Joker's like, no,

I want Russ. I know I can play with him. Yeah, I know I can play with him. And that's what's going on right here. And he don't want to throw nobody under the bus. So he don't know if he can play with Jimmy, though. Oh, no, you know if you can play with somebody. You know the styles of how somebody plays. Yeah, but he don't like 75% motherfuckers. He don't like motherfuckers.

Yeah, he might need, like, trust me, you got one dude that, like, Kaminga actually goes hard. Like, how he plays the game. He's going to do all that grunt work and stuff. He's just young right now. Cool. He keeps people honest on his aggression. Keep him on the team. Right? You know, bring us a piece. They're looking for another pick, pop, float type guy.

But ain't nothing out there for that, and we know it. That's why the deal they got to do is the deal they got to do. Ain't no running around. That's why he's saying be careful. That's why he's saying let me just... Warriors 20 and 20 right now, 10th in the West. 10th last season. So you can keep talking about...

Go back and get them. Go back and get them. Go get Boo. Go back and get them. Go get Kuzma. Go back and get both of them. Cannot. Can't get Boo. Can't get Boo?

No. They can. They cannot bring him back. That's probably a lawsuit. Wait a minute. I brought his son. They put me back in the place I had PTSD. I know they wish they had Boo, but you're not going back there.

Ah! Anything but ah! I'm just saying, we got to find out if he still like black people after that. I don't like none of you. I don't like none of you at all. I hate the whole city. I don't trust none of you. I don't trust none of you.

None of you. You see the team? Warriors, Warriors. They lighting for it. I'm sure. Jordan, don't worry. Don't you worry. Don't you worry. We gonna keep some. If they black, they French.

They French, yeah. There's no real Negroes around here. Ooh, that a black man on sight. Warriors, 20 and 20, 10th in the West right now. Steph has said repeatedly, right, he don't want to be on an average team. You know he lives in Virginia. Hey, boy.

Hey, move out to Bethesda. No. No. The last time I was around that ethnic group, with the sleep, not on my core. Was wide awake. 10 o'clock. AM. So we asked the chat.

After breakfast. Just drink coffee. Lord help me. I'll be hosting a Bible study this Sunday. It gives back. Y'all sick. We'll see if he comes downstairs.

But we asked the chat, should Steph pressure the Warriors to get better? 78% say yes. 78% say what? Yes, that Steph should pressure the Warriors to get better.

You walking around out there? Back to the original point, you can't keep saying, oh, I don't want to be on an average team. I want to, you know, I'm not just sitting here

trying to ride out to the sunset on a trash team and we're not getting no moves done, but I don I want to, you know, I'm not just sitting here trying to ride out to the sunset on a trash team and we're not getting no moves done, but I don't want to make no moves either for the future.

Make the right move. Make the right move. Fuck that future. Not a desperate move. What he's talking about seven years from now? Make the right move, not a desperate move.

No, don't make the, he's just saying make the right, don't make a desperate move. Hey, Steph, we have to make a move. You got to. I don't care what kind

of move you think we're going to make, but we got to make a move, bro. Good, I don't care what kind of move you think we're going to make, but we got to make a move, bro. Good. It's 1.45 a.m. at the club. The lights are about to come on. Got to make a move. You may not get the one you want.

That's when we get in trouble right there. There we go. No, it ain't. No, it ain't. You're going to have a good night regardless. No. It's just waking up in the morning that's going to hurt me. Put the mask on.

After church, look, I slipped up in the bathroom.

The deacon, like, we figure out how to just... In church? In church. Dang. I just saw this clip. On the Lord's name. I wanted to see if he was going to bless you. Damn.

Chuck E. Cheese is a big-ass rat. I don't know if that bothers anybody else. We just figure out how to do it. Master Splinter is a big-ass... Master Splinter is a big-ass... Master Splinter't know if that bothers anybody else. We just figure out how to do it. Massa Splinter is a big-ass. Massa Splinter got hands, though, and knowledge. What the fuck Chuck E. Cheese do? He got a bunch of keys, man.

Chuck E. Cheese is the biggest babysitter of all time. Chuck E. Cheese is in place. 67 points? We're going to talk about the Clippers and the Nets. So Clippers absolutely dominated the Nets at the Antwerp Dome last night, beating them by a score of 126-67. How much? 126-67.

67 points? They scored 67 points in a NBA basketball game in the Euro Lord 2025. Did anybody score double digits? Nobody in the starting lineup did, Gil. Thank you for asking. One person had 16 and one person had 12. Dude should be fired right away. No. The Canadian head coach the head coach. No, no, no, no, no, no, this ain't got nothing to do with I right away Oh, no, I'm a no this ain't got nothing to do with the coach you out there now

That's this y'all. So you what? So the play go what coach what plays he gonna call you gotta That's a little bit of everything. What coach, what play is he going to call to help you get a buck? You got to respond to the coach and me and my enthusiasm and my inspiration. If that ain't going through, that means you're not responding to me. They scored 132 the night before.

They scored what? 132 the night before. And then they scored 67. Russ, Little D-Lo didn't play. Little D-Lo didn't play. Little D-Lo. And Cam. Both Cams. Oh, Cam didn't play?

None of them. Who fucking played? So, Cliff Slabby is going to just... Hey, hey, how about this? Let LeBron James and Andy Davis don't play. We're going to beat the 67.

We might score 48. No, no, no. Dallas whipped our ass with no Luca, no... No Kyrie. Andy Davis don't play. We going to beat the 67. We might score 48. No, no, no. Dallas whipped our ass with no Luca, no Kyrie. With LeBron and AD. With LeBron and AD. I said if LeBron and AD don't play, 67 will be. I will be. If we scored 50 with the team.

We won a game without them. If we scored 50 with the team we got. We won a game without them both. Both? Yeah, I think so. We had little D-Lo. Little D-Lo. We had little D-Lo. Clips led by as many as 64

points were able to empty their bench late in the third quarter in this one. 59-point win is the largest in Clippers history. Also the largest loss in Nets history. Did the 59-point win is the largest in Clippers history, also the largest loss in Nets history. So did the 59-point ass-whooping last night tell you more about how good the Clippers are or how bad the Nets are?

What's the lowest points ever, though? Besides when they first started. On 1952. Yeah, besides. I'm talking about in this year. The thousands are from 1999, from 1990 or something. That's insane. Because I know they was going to season

in the playoffs or something like that. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Unless I'm wrong, I want to say the Bulls, 1999 Bulls, scored 49 points in a row. Man, hell no. Get the fuck out of here. You lying. The what?

No. No, ain't nobody scoring 49 points in a game. NBA? 49 points. Oh, it was on my birthday, April 10, 1999 49 points in the game. NBA? 49 points. Oh, it was on my birthday, April 10th, 1999. What was the full score? It was Heat 82, Bulls 49. What year?

The year our Lord, 1999, Gil. Right when cash money was taking over. So Jordan just retired. I suppose Jordan... Jordan, they just... Huh? I caught that. They just retired and then there was a lockout season.

The chat says it's corny but I get paid. Nuggets second they scored 53 points 2002. 2008 Heat scored 54 points in the game. 98 Pacers scored 55 points in the game. 2012 Magic scored 56. What era? 2012 Magic, 56. Anybody from the last five years? That's your year. That's your year.

No. Wow. It says you was there. Get the fuck out of here. No, 12. 2012. Nah. That was.

2012. 2011, 2012. I was out. I was already out. Because that's after the lockout, right? Yeah, right after. So that means Dwight Howard was injured. He was there. Ooh. I was out. I was already out because that's the laughter like all right. Yeah, right after that means the white Howard was injured Oh, I was in Memphis

Yeah, Memphis. That's what it was. So with the beer. Oh, yeah, that was that Yeah, that was Memphis with less your focus Kawhi played in his fourth game this season Everybody got theirs on the Clippers last night particularly Kawhi Led the team is scoring with 23 points in 24 minutes, both season highs. 8 for 11 from the field. Was a plus 46 on the floor. The highest plus minus he's ever posted in his career. Clippers 22 and 17. Fifth in the West.

That was unfortunate. The Lakers jumped up to fifth in the West last night just for a little bit. Oh, he did. Then the Clippers won, pushed right back down to sixth. But good fifth in the West. And all of their key pieces are healthy for the first time this season,

because the Clippers make some noise in the playoffs with a healthy Kawhi. Of course. Yeah. Maybe they can make some noise first round. First round noise? Are we basing that off of yesterday? You said first round.

Just asking in general. Kawhi seems to trend in the right direction. Even if he's fully healthy and he's back to being Kawhi Kawhi, the team just, they're too young It's all matchups They can run it to Minnesota I think they could they can play you yeah, they can play All the pins all the only one who said it what did you depends. It all depends. I'm the only one who said it. What did you say, Lex?

That he's going to play more games than Embiid. You did say that? He's nine away right now. Ooh, he's creeping. He's creeping on Embiid because... I don't like it. You don't like what? I think that was the exhibition game last night.

Yeah, I mean, I don't think we should base anything off that. That's what I'm saying. But it is good to see Kawhi out there. Of course, 100%. But how far is it going to go? How far is it going to go? 23 points, 24 minutes, NBA game, especially coming off injury, fourth game back. Kawhi's still Kawhi. Fourth game back. What I like about Kawhi though is consistently when he is

healthy, he's the only player that you know that's going to go get his points the way he wants to go get his points consistently. He's gonna get it from here, he's gonna get it from there, he's gonna make open shots, he's gonna defend, he's gonna play solid, but that's if he's a consistent Kawhi. Like that's what we know of him, which is makes him efficient, right? It's not flashy, it's old school, I come down San Antonio Spur basketball. He still play that way. Get to my spots.

Get to my spots, make it easy, I ain't got to do nothing. I don't have to flash, I don't have to cheer, I don't have to promote, none of that. It's basketball, right? So right now, with him, can you go play basketball today, in today's game? I think so. Yeah.

I mean, I think he compliments James Harden well. Yeah, I think they play well together. 67 points. He's so special. Yeah, I mean I think he compliments James Harden. Well, yeah, I think they play well together Stars and no one decided to say yo, it's my game. Yeah I can go out here and try to score 30 40 and I But you got to be good to even know no starter. No, I know you gotta be good Even if you not ham Thomas is probably the only one that's that's not on that team That's not he's a starter now. Yeah, that's the aggression. I'm sitting here like Like hero. Yeah, I'm gonna take I'm gonna take 30 shots that what who's gonna say something nobody

I are you good enough to take those 30? Are you good enough? Oh get that shit off? No, I'm just They ain't gonna see him or shut me. One of them took 16 shots. Mellow team. 13 shots. What's that? Charlotte. Like 12 threes or some shit like that. When Mellow was out? Yeah. They had to shoot him.

They want to shoot him. They want to shoot him, but you got to be good enough to break him. 45, 4, 4, 2, 8, 6. That's bad. It's not an NBA team That's really that's not an NBA They got a team full of people you pick for like bring over to do others Like you go get cam to come be like a microwave for you on a good championship team. Yep. Yep But he stuck over there. Stuck.

The whole starting five that played last night, all averaged eight and nine. They couldn't even do that. Couldn't even get the average. You couldn't even get your average. Whoo! Cooked. But you don't think the clip is going to be all right?

Not one person was like, we got an asshole, but I did my thing out there. Nobody could say that. That locker room was silent. That whole locker room was quiet. That's rare. There's always a motherfucker in there. He's sitting there like, yeah.

Yeah. You see the boy that's sitting out there, you know, these little fuckers lost. Look at the score. Look at the score. Tonight. Just look at my stats. Mm-hmm. So, what would you need to see from the Clippers to start believing in them? Because let's be real. We talked about it before the season started with Kawhi's injury situation.

Change of color, change of name. We thought they got ample basketball. Say it again. Change of color, change of name. One more time. Change of color, change of name. I say the same thing to my homie about the Cleveland Browns. Change your colors, change your name.

He can afford it. You'll start winning. I promise you. It don't matter what the name is. When the Lakers is the Lakers. The Cleveland Purple. Oh, I feel like the right rebrand. Actually, hey, create a logo with a real mascot.

The Browns ain't a real mascot, bro. We don't even know what the club is. What is the Clipper? What the hell is the Clipper, man? And I hate their new logo. They got Chuck the Condor. Condor? The L.A. Condors?

What are we doing, man? Change that shit. Change them brown. The ugly-ass colors. It sounds like a WBNA, don't it? No, it doesn't. The L.A. Condors. No, it doesn't. It, it doesn't. The L.A. Condors. No, it doesn't.

It doesn't? There is an L.A. team already. Doesn't sound like that? Sparks. Condors. No. Valkyrie. No.

Dream. Liberty. Dream. Liberty. That all fits. No. The Condors. What is it?

What is a Condor? No, thank you. It's an endangered bird, if I'm not mistaken. Like a hawk eye? With a species native to California. They should have used that hawk eye. Hawk eye.

Well, that's all the sports, so... That bird they've been chasing in up. Up, oh, up. You know, there's a bird... I said, it's the bird off of up. You don't know. The L. The LA Knights. You know, something that just sounds.

Isn't that a team already? Vegas. Oh, okay. The reason you say changed, it's because the name itself has so much negativity in it. Yes, it's nasty. Just in it, the roots of the Clippers, it wasn't built with great roots.

They gotta win. They were somewhere else and they just moved it. I don't even think them winning is bad. The LA Knights was the fictitious team in the movie, like Mike's story. I knew it! Okay, I knew it. You the ugly nigga and you ain't getting them over here. You gotta go across town.

Why does it always go back to the worst? You got to go across town, bro. But you got to go back to the work. You can see the Clippers like this. Everybody and they mommas in high school doing the fucking Darius Mathers. And then they left. Then they left. They came Lob City. 28 years ago.

Blake Griffin, Lob City. I'm saying, you just got to win, bro. You ain't. But they still wasn't calling them the Clippers. They was calling them Lob City. You got a sage in this, baby. You got a sage to name this. Cool, like, bomber. You don't owe the city nothing.

Nothing. You don't owe nothing, man. Change it all, bro. You got $125 million. You got a new stadium and all this shit. Change the name, too. Start your own. Because when you going down in history,

it's all of the Clippers. You kill it now, boom. And when you change the name, there's a change right there. When I started. Yep. Like started yeah, like you know like redskins they the commanders now that changes But what I'm saying is it changes the legacy changes But I'm saying is the legacy changes because the name is you gotta change your heart you start with the commander saying that we start our legacy when we change the name LA bangers You just might have did some LA banger LA banger, hey, I know it don't sound good but for the city itself

It also sounds horrible Gotta keep do you keep the color ready? Actually a terrible idea comes with Chuck's Sponsor by sloth Sponsored by these laws long as they're Lakers always gonnaoped. Damn. All that stuff is for ass whooping. Helly Riot. Damn, that's crazy. A lot of people benefited from those riots.

A lot of, uh, merchandise. Yeah, there was a lot of ass whoops out of there. Like Edwine. Yeah, change it. Got a TV out of that one. You did? Fun little project. Allegedly, all right.

Allegedly, allegedly. Your family got a TV? Yeah, I was pushing that big motherfucker at 10 years old. You was out there? Yeah, I was out there big motherfucker at 10 years old. You was out there? Yeah, I was out there. My brother took me. He had Game Boards. And y'all drove all the way to Watts to get into the?

Like Dale. Okay. So many. Handles? Handles? Swatting. Swatting, man. His pockets.

The chat was complaining about the Heat jersey. That said that was your old team. Yeah. Yeah. That was the Dwayne shout-out, because Dwayne came out and, you know, corroborated my Pat Riley defense with the Miami Heat. You know what I'm saying? That people want to go there?

D-Wade, yes. He just ain't proved it yet. Yeah, he did. He proved it. No, no, no, I'm saying the study just hasn't been proved yet. No, the study is him. He is the study. No, what I'm saying is he is the guy who speaks for Miami.

No, I get it, but the reality is that who has been signing there? They haven't offered anybody $300 million. They haven't offered anybody. He turned down less money to go to Philly. Who? To not stay in Miami and run. Who? Martin.

He got offered. Martin is not a star that's going to get $300 million. We don't give a fuck about him. What's the star? We don't give a fuck about him. But if somebody like that turns up. The last stars that did come here were two guys who helped us win two championships. Yeah, with signing sign and trade.

But after that, who... Before that... We haven't seen no superstar worth the money. Who? What free agent? We haven't seen anybody worth the money. So no superstar... That's available.

All the superstars that's been available... Not worth it. Not worth it. Okay, so let's move on to Mosey Faire. Like I said, they have to trade for someone Free agents is not going there. What else what else in the back? Nothing nothing nothing. This is man. This bag here is like it's an endless You know how you ever seen people hop in the bag, but then you'd never see him

They just disappear when they have your listen boots. Boom put. Put them in a bag. Don't see them. For sure. Puss in boots. So I put people in a bag. You never see them again. Fat people in here. All kind of people in here. You never know. I'll pull a midget out of here in a second. A little person. But we got...

There's always one on the team. You got a little bit of everything. There's always that one on the team that got a little bit of everything. Oh, man, I forgot what it was. I forgot it. You got an extra credit card? Yep. Got it right here.

Whatever you need. But show it. Extra 6%. You need a charger? Seaport. Seaport. Got $12. Plus tax.

That's the worst teammate though. I ain't gonna lie. He got everything you need, but he just charges you. Tax. Tax. So our first question from underdog user Jswish14. What teams are you looking most forward to making moves with the trade deadline approaching?

Trade deadline is February 6, noon Pacific. Denver. So you just know the late-hits ain't going to stay. Denver, trade, trade, trade, Jokic. Free him. Hmm Denver trade trade trade a yo kid read him Say it again freeze that Denver trade. Okay, where would you like to radio kids back to Serbia team? So the Lakers gonna have a chance to win You said what Steve do you think it's not gonna happen Thank you. Yeah, your true story Lakers jumped up to fifth last night. They beat the heat the clip Yeah playing but the Nuggets are for so I was not excited about that even just yeah

No, but as I said when they soon as you said I had to look what a nugget that We are six six Six Never finished two or three Because the teams in front of them are just Who should make a trade besides someone? Yeah, why won't the Lakers go get Zach Lee betrayed little sons need to make a man immediately Yeah, Bradley Bill is he's not he can't stay on that bench. I Guess we can stay on the bed. We can't stay on that bench. Oh, he can stay on the bench. We can train for Bradley Bill.

I would love to have Bradley Bill here. We'd love to have Bradley Bill here. He doesn't belong on the bench. Who are you training for Bradley Bill? Austin Reeves. I don't give a fuck right now. Austin Reeves right now. Yeah. But it ain't enough money on the books for that.

But I would do that right away. That's what Brandon said. Brandon Jennings sat on here and said that I'll take Austin Reeves right now with Bradley Beal. Easy. Limited. I agree, Brandon. Why wouldn't you? Who's playing better? Him. Bradley Beal. Is playing better than Austin Reeves? Yeah. No. Sin is better

from the field and the three. You don't look as good, but yes, you're picky. No, no, no, no. Is J.J. Riddick complaining about Austin Reeves' production? No, no, no, no, no, no. Is JJ Riddick complaining about Austin Reed's production? No, no, no, no, no, no. Nobody complains about the others. Yeah.

Who are the others? We only complain about two players on our Laker team. No, I'm talking about. It's going to be LeBron James, or it's going to be Anthony Davis. No, no, no, no, no. If Austin Reed is not performing, he would have been out.

The rest of them is like Tito and whatever the Jacksons are. Austin Reed is the third option. Third. Austin Reeves is the third option. Third option. Austin Reeves is the third option. And no one talks about him. And he's averaging 18 points. Yes. All right, Bradley Bills,

third option, averaging 17 points. Because of the last game. I don't want to hear about because. Because of the last game. I don't want to hear about because. 17.5. It is what it is.

Different type of... Let's just say they're averaging the same. Different type of team. When he was a starter, he was averaging 19. Let's just say they're averaging the same. That's what he's talking about. Let's just say they're averaging the same. When he was a starter, he was averaging 19. Let's just say they're averaging the same. Who's playing better right now? Bradley Beal. Who's their team? Shooting a higher

percentage. No, no, no. I'm not talking about the shooting and all the stats. I'm talking who's playing better for their team. Bradley Beal. No, he's not. He wouldn't be moved to the bench if he was. He wouldn't have been moved to the bench if he was playing good. Exactly. There's a problem. Austin Reeves ain't been moved nowhere. Because no one's paying attention to the bench if he was playing good. Exactly. There's a problem. Austin Reeves ain't been moved nowhere. Because no one's paying attention to him.

He almost got moved for connect in the beginning. Because he's playing consistent. He almost got moved for connect. He didn't almost get nothing. Did it happen? Yeah, almost. It didn't. It didn't happen.

It didn't happen. When was the last time you actually heard about Austin Reeves besides the game winner? Because he's consistent. You ain't. He's consistent. He's a consistent third option on the Lakers. Yo, Austin Reeves besides the game with us. He's cuz you in it. He's consistent He's a consistent third option on the label Austin Reeves has been ball How can you talk about Austin Reeves when you got LeBron James exactly? Third option right so I can't Bradley be the quiet third option cuz he gets paid too much money exactly

But what if he's a quiet third option that's helping them win? Y'all are going to complain about that. If he's getting $50 million worth whatever, worth $50 million. If he's helping the team win, why does it matter? I got a guy that makes $50 million for his whole contract playing the same way you plan. Right, and that's why he's not getting the same shit as Bradley Beal. That's why I take him.

Exactly, that has nothing to do with how he's playing. Because he made that contract when he was playing with them. That contract came when he was averaging 20-something. But you can't say that. He moved over. So that's like saying Chris Bosh and D-Wade don't deserve that. I adjust the contract as you play. Right.

So whatever they decide to give him after this $50 million is cool. But he earned that $50 million from what he already did. He got the money. He got it, right? He got the money. Now, based on the money that you have gotten and you're going to continue to get, are you allowed to lay down and not perform?

You're saying perform? No, you're saying a bad... The man is averaging 18 coming off the... He got put to the bench averaging 18. You take his name and you put anybody else's name on it, you are celebrating a third option averaging 18 points. Based on what he's done in the past. Motherfuckers are getting...

Based on what he's done in the past. That's why you're celebrating. That's why you're celebrating. So for the two years, the last two years, have you given me... What's the reason why you're celebrating? What's the reason? Celebratingves. So for the two years, the last two years, have you given me... What's the reason why you celebrated Reeves? So you talk about Bradley Bill going to the bench, those numbers going down, Gil,

but Austin Reeves, since Christmas, averaged a 20 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds. Yeah, he's playing extremely well. Is he playing better than Bradley Bill? But nobody is on his ass like they are on Bradley Bill's. Is he playing better than Bradley? No. No.

So I would Right now Okay, how about this if you switch if you switch Austin Reeves? To the Sun to the Sun. Yeah, I want to see that you put bill over here Where do you think bill is going to average when you have two guys who don't play one-on-one? And he's the only way to play one of the third option to two people who don't play one-on-one. And he's the only one. Hey, wouldn't I play one-on-one? Beale is a third option to two people who play iso basketball. Hey, what did D'Angelo Russell average?

They actually might both be better. What did D'Angelo Russell average? Austin Reeves actually might benefit from playing with D-Book and KD. He would. He would kill. He would kill. Because it's too different. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no.

No, it needs to be a swap because what they need, what Suns need is someone like here. And what the Lakers need, we need an ISO guy. Bradley Bill turns into D'Angelo Russell.

Oh, my God. The shooter they got. Yes, he does. No, he doesn't. He's also more of a willing passer Phoenix Yeah, we need a I Know what it would they happen is they'll just play also Reeves at the point guard take take So you could actually adjust all series

Yeah, you take giant Giants Jones out. I'll put Austin Reeves as the point guard. And then I'll put Grayson Allen as the shooting guard. It's hard to turn that down. I'll put Grayson Allen as the shooting guard. I'll have Austin Reeves who can play point. He's big and he can pass. So now I got four shooters who can do a little bit of everything.

That's a perfect match. Bill come in here to play point guard. No. No, no, no, no. Oh. I remember when he came here, he was like, we're going to put Bill at the point because he can play the point. For that team.

For the Sun. For the Sun. For here, he can just be our shooting guard. Going back to the beginning of when they got that situation, and you was like, yeah, it's cool. He can play point. But now you're saying that Bradley Bill can't do multiple things like play the point. Wait, let me.

I don't need him to do multiple things here. We're missing the guy that can play half court. Yes. But you brought him in to do it. Joe Rosen. But you brought him in to do it. Bradley Bill is the third one of one guy. To play the point.

LeBron James is not a one of one guy. Frank Vogel said, I need a point. They said, no, you're going to have to deal with what you got. You have to put a book at the point or a bill at the point. Listen to my point, what I'm saying. You're telling me that Austin Reeves can come in and then go from two guard to point guard. He's the point guard. Wait, wait.

That's why they got rid of Dillow. He's the point guard. LeBron is the point guard. Kind of. Listen to what I'm saying. of D'Lo. He's the point guard. LeBron is the point guard. Kind of. Listen to what I'm saying. Austin Reeves, he's not a point guard. No, he's not a traditional point guard. All right.

So you can take him from the Lakers and put him at the point guard position on another team. But you can't do that with Bradley Beal. I don't need to. You did need to because you brought him over here to do that. No, we didn't. Yes, you did. We put Booker at the point. We never put Beal at the point.

We put Booker at the point and then got another shooting guard. I should have brought the thing with the... And they brought in a point guard. Fact check that. Fact check. We're going to fact check that. We brought in Jones. We're going to fact check because I do have a memory.

We brought in Jones to be the point guard. I do have a memory. When the trade first happened, it was a point guard. And he said out of his mouth, we got Bradley Beal. Who did they say was going to be the point at the beginning of the season? When Bill came. Wasn't it Booker? Because wasn't he leading the, wasn't he having like a career year?

And then they switched. Because it took away from him? Yes, they switched to Bill. They switched to Bill being the point because it took away from motherfucking Book doing his thing. Because. And it didn't work. And it didn't work. So how come that's okay for that to happen for Book, but it's not okay for Book?

Because Vogel got fired. Same thing. Vogel got fired. They brought in a new coach, right? Same thing. Book said, I don't want to be the point. No, he's better than Book, too. Listen, listen.

They fired Frank because he asked for a point guard. Then they brung in someone else and gave him a point guard. They brung in Tyus Jones. Right. Now they don't know how to play because we got to put Bradley Beal somewhere. How can we put him somewhere when we got Tyus Jones here. We got Book at the two. We got to put KD at the four now.

So now we're offsetting our roster for Beal. Now let's put him on the bench and see what he does on the bench. He's the third one-on-one guy. It goes KD, your turn. Book, your turn. Bill got to wait for him. But Austin Reeves is more valuable because we can take him

and put him at the point. Make him the point because we can make him the point. Because he's versatile. Your narrative is wrong. I'm saying he's... I'm taking Austin Reeves over Bradley Bill.

It's two different people. Phoenix Suns made Devin Booker their full point guard when Chris Paul left and made Bradley Beal the shooting guard. Now, the problem with that is is Bradley, I mean,

Booker is a shooting guard who kept the ball. So Bradley Beal wasn't part of the offense because Devin Booker wanted it. They changed it. No, that's the season. It says it right here. It says it right here. In the beginning of the season, Devin Booker wanted it. They changed it. No, that's the season. It says it right here.

In the beginning of the season, that was the plan. Yes, they changed it because it didn't work. I was watching in real time. So hold on. What are you talking about? So it didn't work with Devin Booker. After 10 games. So hold on. Book was looking for him. So it didn't work with Booker at the point. So they

tried to say, okay, since we're losing Bradley Beal, let's try to reverse it. Make Bradley Beal the point, Booker, you go back to your normal position. That didn't work. So they said, we need to just go get a traditional point guard. That's what that is. Just outline that whole thing. So Austin Reeves, who can be a traditional point guard, can go and take the point guard position, and it works. We need a traditional shooting guard.

Austin Reeves is a traditional shooting guard. No, he's not. When does he play ISO basketball? That's not traditional shooting guard basketball, Gil. Your view of the game is warped thinking that that's traditional two guard. No, man. Come off this pin down hard. Make space. Drive.

Kick. All that shit. D-Lo was more of the point guard. They said we can do better with Austin Reeves. He can do the pick and roll. He's taller. He can still make passes. He can shoot. I'd rather have him at the point. LeBron is the point guard. I need a guy

who can shoot the ball. I'm bringing the ball up every time. Austin Reeves averaging 20 and 10 since Christmas. Austin Reeves is a savvy player. Anybody who's savvy enough can bring the fucking ball up and run a fucking offense. I don't need that. You don't got to be talented. Bradley Beal, why can't you do this?

I don't need that. 50 million. Because I have Kevin Durant. That's like when Jordan, there's a reason. Name me Jordan's point guards. You know they do. I'll wait. You know they do.

Name me. You know their names. We all know all the Jordan's point guards. Name me Kobe Bryant's point guards. Yep. Yep. Who controlled the offense? You can't.

Because Kobe got the ball. You sit your ass in the corner. The offense wasn't for no point guard. The triangle offense is not for no point guard. And you know that. So why would you even say it? When you had a dominant guy who needs the ball, you offset him with someone who can shoot and spread the floor.

When LeBron James went to Miami, who was the point guard when he won championships? Did he run offense? No. Sit in the corner, shoot some jumpers. Chalmers. What did... How was he always arguing with Chalmers?

What did Norris Cole say? What did Norris Cole say? What did they say to me? Hey, man, you shoot the ball too much. We have people who do that. We have people who do that. We have people who do that. That's true. Hey, Mario Chalmers said,

Brian, I'm the point guard, bro. Let me run the show. You know what Brian said? Shut the fuck up. Give me the fucking ball. Thank you. Kobe Bryant, what did I say? Hey, Kobe, I'm the point guard.

Shut the fuck up. Michael Jordan, hey. Steve Madden. That was smush. That was smush. That was smush. Get the fuck out of here. That was smush. No, and Jeremy Levin.

And every point guard after that. I'm trying to run offense, Kobe. Hey, man, I am the offense. Why do you think when Gary Payton came over, he was a point guard holding the ball, it clashed? Yeah. I am the offense. He felt when Steve Nash came here, him and Kobe,

Steve Blake looked better because Steve Blake knew how to play as a shooting guard. Because the offense doesn't predicate to being a point guard. It's not a point guard offense. When Steve Nash came here, they didn't run an offense. When Steve Nash came here, they tried to run a Phoenix offense. Yeah, I know, because it's Steve Nash. Because it's Steve Nash. We try to alleviate our playbook to your abilities. Okay, Steve is not working

Get your ass out of here. One thing history has told us if you have a if you have a dominant player That needs the ball You cannot have a traditional point guard That holds the ball in one ball. I don't. I don't need you making plays for me. I make my own plays. Everybody can't go one-on-one. Name me a traditional point guard that won a championship. Technically, besides Magic Johnson, you've got Toronto.

What did I just say? What was my question? No, Rondo didn't win a championship. Cal Lowry, right? Cal Lowry. Cal Lowry. What the question? There you go. No, Rondo didn't win a championship. What was my question? Cal Lowry. Cal Lowry, right? Cal Lowry. Cal Lowry.

What was my question? Cal Lowry. What was the question? Cal Lowry. A traditional point guard is one of the two. A traditional point guard. Cal Lowry. Cal Lowry.

As one of the best players on the team? Drew Holiday? No, it's not traditional. What was traditional point guard? What is your traditional point guard? Is Rondo All-NBA? Rondo? Rondo didn't win a championship as a traditional point guard. He wasn't Rondo yet.

No, traditional is a past first point guard, right? As the main guy. John Stockton, John Stockton, Chris Paul, name me one of those point guards that won a championship. Kyle Lowry.

And he's traditional? He averaged the most assists since Magic Johnson. He's a traditional point guard? You don't think so? No. Kyle Lowry got on being a defensive guy that understood. He was the defender. He averaged the most assists as a championship guard.

He had to as Magic Johnson. Chesson and Jason Kidd as well, but he was... But he was old. He was a little bit older. Okay, so if we give credit to Eric Snow passing the ball to Allen Iverson, is he... No, that's not... Kyle Lowry's an all-star. No, that's not traditional. That's not a traditional point guard.

I can't call him an all-star, but if you want to call him traditional, I'm just saying outside... Okay, outside of fucking Kyle Lowry, name me an elite point guard that's won a championship. Traditional. Elite. Traditional. Chauncey Billups. Chauncey Billups.

Yeah. But he only averaged five assists, right? You got Tony Parker. Traditional. Yes. What does that mean? None. What does traditional mean?

None. Chris Paul, John Stockton, Setter, All-Star. Because they got a two-guard. I got to do the thing. The two guard is great. So you can't have that. The same thing I just said. That's what I said.

It's too many one-on-one. That's the same thing I said. But some guy on the Lakers can adjust from two to one easily. It seems to me. Because you don't have two players. Circle back to my point. Circle back to my point. Because his first thing was a shooter.

I'm picking Austin Reed. But Bill is more of a creator then. I am, but we thought you was good. Catch the first shooter. 50 million, I should be able to plug you in. You could be a better catch the first shooter, but I could be a better creator. So Bradley Bill wasn't making $50 million.

I need a different conversation. But he made $50 million for an average of $20 million. He's 40. I need a guy that's capable of taking the pressure off of him. So I need a DeRozan. I need a Bradley Beal. I need a Zach Levine. I need a Jimmy.

But I need someone who can give me 20, 25. If I could keep Osiris, though, I would. I would, too. But he's so valuable. He's an Army Swiss. Here's what I'm saying, Gil. Bradley Beal has become a decoy. You're too good to be a decoy.

Because you have become one. You have three of me. I told you already. People are only saying that because they're losing. They was winning. That's a big gift. That's a big gift. Because we brought you here to win.

And we haven't been winning. They were winning and he was averaging 18 off the bench. That's the big if. That's a big if. Because we brought you here to win. Right. But if they were winning and he was averaging 18 off the bench, that's the third option. This is just one-on-one players in a squad of basketball. He's doing a great job fitting in with the Suns, but because they're losing, everyone's like, he don't fit. This is like having Shaq. It's like the missing piece. This is like having Shaq, Ewing, and Joker on the same team as the one, two, three, trying

to make them all fit. One's suffering. Yes. Somebody ain't going to get it. If you have two of you, you have Patrick Ewing and Shaq, one got to be on the left side. The only person suffering is the GM for making the stupidest move in history, thinking this was going to work.

When literally it came out, I said, this is Diabolo. This is not going to work at all. Clippers situation, same thing. It's not going to work. Hey, let's even go back to Brooklyn All play together that was work that was easy well They all played well together. That was like the Warriors. We've seen it.

That was like the Warriors. It did not work. Because they got hurt. Because KD could fit anywhere. You've seen that. And James Harden. I think that's the very underrated part about KD is that he fits everywhere. You can't name injuries as it did work. You can't use injuries. You can't use injuries. What was their record when they when they play together?

Looking it up. It was didn't work. Mm-hmm. Katie. I will beat the bugs. But the Suns work look Right now is it working? No, so we're in we're we all pray when we get KD It's like I wish you win a championship and it's like it don't it don't it don't and then it's like what's the excuse now? Oh this happened this happened. This happened. They ain't healthy. But guess what happened? When he was with Steph,

he wasn't hurt. There was no excuses. Because they all fit. They're perfect fits. That means it. Sometimes shit just don't fit. Phoenix Suns has three right shoes.

Hey, hey, hey. They got three right shoes. They just don't match. I'm sure it never won without Scottie. Oh, man. You could have all these beautiful shoes. Certain people don't match. I never won without Scotty. Certain people don't win. You know what I'm saying? You got to have one.

Break the algorithm and you can't win without the glue. It ain't the same without the same shoe. That brings us to the... You're just blaming someone because he don't fit because he's a third option. He gets the leftovers of the same one, two things you do. You just need a spot-up shooter, Grayson Allen, or you need an Army Swiss.

We don't need that. We got a $50 million player that smiled and said, I couldn't wait to be here when he got here. And now we need you to be happy to produce for us or we're going to move around with you, okay? He said the same thing. Move me around so somebody can use me. The Lakers can use my 20 shots again real

That's what you think. Yeah, just like the roses Kind of throws them off a little bit tripping on no opportunities. I take what I want if I want the opportunity I'm gonna take it. I'm a dog Ruff Ruff Joseph just I've been trying to end the show for like 12 minutes. No, I have not, Gil, for about the last 90 seconds. I was letting y'all know. Shout out to John Batiste, man.

I got the shirt on for you, big bro. You know what I'm saying? I see music, too. Okay. That's what the name of the shirt is. Probably one of your greatest lines in the history of Gil's a read. Yes. I see music.

Yes, yes. But it is time for us to move around. But everybody, we will be on playback 430 today for the Cavs Thunder. Y'all will wear the Cavs shirt. Let's go. And you're honored. Cavs Thunder game. We got a Christmas gift from baby KG.
