Gil's Arena Reacts To Team USA's BEATDOWN Of Brazil in the 2024 Paris Olympics as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew break down Team USA advancing to the Semifinals of the Olympic basketball tournament with a massive victory on the backs of Devin Booker & Anthony Edwards and discuss if the team's dominance will continue as they gear up to face Nikola Jokic and the Serbian national team. They also react to Joel Embiid's up and down performance throughout the Olympics and debate if he made the right call in joining the team this summer before reacting to Kevin Durant overtaking Lisa Leslie to become the all time leading scorer in American hoops. Next, they discuss the France vs Canada game on the other side of the bracket where Victor Wembanyama and the French upset Shai Gilgeous Alexander & Team Canada, who many expected to meet Team USA in the gold medal match. The Crew breaks down what this tournament means for Wemby's development heading into his sophomore season before reacting to Rudy Gobert getting benched after coming up short in another big moment. Finally, Gil & The Crew give their take on Lauri Markkanen agreeing to star with the Utah Jazz and discuss what this means for the Golden State Warriors as their options to replace Klay Thompson and keep Steph Curry happy at the end of his career are slowly dwindling away.

It was not dramatic. A little of this. So you was in a hotel, did a room? My bed started doing funny stuff. My legs started doing funny stuff. That's it. I told my brother, I said, what am I supposed to do? That's it.

I think my... There ain't no magic in the closet. It ain't no big deal. Y'all are not gonna be laughing at me. I was in the grocery store for one. And shit started, the lights and them motherfuckers started moving in the grocery store. I was like, oh, this is what they mean.

I was blackballed from the moment I got in the league. You be not fucking with that nigga right there. You gotta hang out with me now. That's right. What's up? You gotta hang out with me. All the men. Yeah, we can't.

Hey, young fella, we can't hang out with you. The wives don't like you. They don't like you. You too wild. Too many, too many, too many jokes. That's what happens for real, though. We reading the Bible over here. Yeah.

You see that shit he said last week? That shit just rubbed me the wrong way. Yeah. We got the four-time WNBA champ, three-time Olympic gold medalist, Cheryl Swoops, back in the building. You know what I'm talking about? I'm so glad you got off of that topic.

Three-time WNBA MVP, two of you are keeping it. Sure, too many stats, all right? Can never have too many stats. I understand. I get tired saying it all, though. Okay. We got a Can never have too many stats. I understand. I get tired saying it all though. Okay.

But here's what's cracking in the arena today. Team USA made light work of Brazil to reach the semis in a rematch with Joker in Serbia. But will they get tested at all in these Olympics? That's a legendary photo, too.

Shout out, Bron. Let them know. You said legendary photo? Pretty legendary. No, that shit ain't. Everybody, you make it. We had to crop it a little bit. Okay, Derek, why? Well, everybody didn't make it. You said legendary photo? Pretty legendary. No, that shit ain't. Everybody can make it. We had to crop it a little bit. Okay, Derek White.

Well, everybody didn't make it. You seen the video, though. The aura. Like, legendary would have Stephen, I mean, Clay in it, Kyrie. Oh. But the MV Mead mug? I love that. Mug.

In other Olympics news, Rudy Gobert got benched in France's upset win over Canada. But how big of a deal is this for the four-time defensive player of the year? And the Warriors missed out on a trade for Laurie Markkinen as he agreed to an extension with the Jazz and will remain with the team for at least this season. But have they done enough this offseason to keep Steph happy? He wants to be a warrior for life, but he also wants to win, doesn't want to be on the bottom feeder. Are the Warriors going to send Steph off in the twilight of his career?

Team USA entered the knockout stage as the top seed, proceeded to smack Brazil by 35 points in their quarterfinal meeting Tuesday. Devin Booker finished with a team-high 18 points, going 5-7 from three. Ant-Man was big off the bench again with 17 points and five rebounds. AD added 13 points and eight rebounds off the bench as well. Joel Embiid had his best game of the Olympics,

coming through with 14 points and seven rebounds in the first half. Didn't play in the second half after suffering what was described as a mild ankle sprain by Team USA head coach Steve Kerr. LeBron also left the game after taking a shot to the dome that caused him to get four stitches, but he had 12 points, nine dimes, and three steals. Both Bron and Embiid should be available for the semifinal rematch against Joker and Serbia

on Thursday. So Serbia overcame a 24-point deficit to get the overtime win over Australia to advance to the semis. They faced Team USA twice this summer. Once in the exhibition game, once in the group stage. Lost both by 26 points.

So, would you rather see Team USA dominate or get tested in the semifinal round? You said, would I rather see? Okay, I know you love America. It's your favorite country. I'd rather see them win by 100. Get them out the first quarter.

I give a fuck about a good game. I just wanted to get the gold. Get it over. I just want the gold, man. I don't care about no good game. I just want the gold medal. That's it. If you ask a sprinter, do you want to win by inch?

Or do you want to make sure this motherfucker win by 27 yards? They gonna pick 27 yards. Do you want to know a lot or do you want to Usain Bolt it? Usain Bolt it. Give me the bolt. I don't want to sit there like. Slow it down.

I want to be sitting there pointing, sitting there celebrating, doing this shit. Trust me. Go ask somebody in the Super Bowl which one they prefer. Blowout. Win it by the kick or you sit there celebrating. Field goal? No. First quarter, down 30.

Whoever in the chat said they want to up that, relax. Relax. We support our country. We like to see good games. Oh, man. It's a challenge. Where's the challenge? Ain support our country. We like to see good games, but... Oh, man, it's a challenge. No. Where's the challenge? Ain't our fault. I need a challenge. I don't like that boring shit. I need a challenge.

No, then you should watch this. What's the other games? What's the... France versus... Germany. Yeah. You got a good game? If it's close, anything can happen. Like, close like the South Sudan game? The exhibition game that we only won by one point on the LeBron game. That the South Sudan game?

The exhibition game that we only won by one point on the LeBron game. That's close, right? That was very close. A lot of no's. Give us a lot of no's. That's what you want.

Yeah, because you know what? You're supposed to win, right? So if you lose, it's all bad. If you win, you're supposed to win. Well, what I would prefer is... I like a closer game. If you're supposed to win, you're supposed to pull it out anyway.

Go up 25, right? Then other team come back and then you only win by like four. I would like that. That's cool. I like that you got to keep playing. Yeah. I do like that. See, that's the –

Instead of the super blowout. Instead of the super blowout, right? Especially in this, right? Yeah. Like go up 25, 30 like the – I'm saying the Australia survey game a yeah for it and he come back, you know, and then I like yeah, I like it for them. Yeah Yeah, they don't say USA advances of love. Oh They trouble and they struggle. There's something in paradise.

I don't got time for that shit, man. I do not have time for these reporters to sit there and keep throwing shots. Beat their ass by 40, make them look stupid. That's it. Just wanted to test your national pride. We asked the chat, would you rather see Team USA dominate Serbia or get tested

ahead of the gold medal game? And 76% said they want them to dominate. So shout out to y'all. Yeah, shout out to the chat. They can dominate and get tested at the same time. Both things can exist. Yeah, the first quarter, you know what I mean? Both things can exist.

They can. It could be a good game for three quarters, three and a half quarters, and then you end up winning by 15. Yeah. Did Jason take them? Shout out to the chat, man. I miss y'all, chat.

I miss y'all, chat. I miss y'all, chat. I miss y'all, niggas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The chat missed you as well, Rashad. Yeah, man. They were wondering where you were yesterday. Told me you had things to do. Yeah, man. I was up there.

You know what I'm saying. The ling-ling. You know what I'm saying. They all. They all. Like I said, team USA, 35-point win. Serbia advancing overtime. You said something yesterday, right?

That for preseason, you didn't. Like you would like for like the USA team, right? Oh, yeah. I wouldn't play the same team. Like. That's in your pool. That's in your pool. Oh, in the exhibition? Yeah, in the exhibition. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't play the same team. Like. That's in your pool. Yeah, that's in your pool. Oh, in the exhibition?

Yeah, in the exhibition. Yeah. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. Cause this is their third time facing them. And they got, anything can happen. It just, they won by 26 each time. This shit might not be the same. Cause you didn't.

But you had adjustments, you can make adjustments. No, but even, even that is not interesting. It's not interesting anymore. Yeah, we watched these two teams go twice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, here they go again. Especially this time in the Olympics. Cheryl, I see you agree, disagree with...

No, I think it's still interesting for that simple fact that we beat them twice already. And so now, like, you tune in because it's like, will Serbia find a way to beat U.S.? Did you guys, like, when you guys were playing exhibition, did you play the teams that you were playing in the pool play? That was in your pool. We did.

Oh, you did? We did. Because there was a big possibility that there was a good team and you was going to see them in the medal rounds. See, but that makes it, it makes it weird now because now we're judging someone on now tactical, right? If I'm going to play you in our, what's the name, then am I really showing you the lineup that I want you to see or am I just going to play you in our, what's the name?

Am I really showing you the lineup that I want you to see? Or am I just going to be fucking around with you? Yeah, I mean, exhibition, I imagine not the full, not getting the full thing. Group stage, maybe a little bit more on top of it now. Knockout round. Yeah, it just seems, yeah. But I like playing the other teams, but we don't even know where they're going to be stationed at.

They know the groups, I think, leading in. They knew the groups before they... Exhibition, right? Yeah, before the exhibition started, they knew the groups. They knew they pooled. They should have played Australia. Yeah, they should have played some Puerto Rico. I don't know.

Because Puerto Rico's in their group, too. So, well, you know, just... A lot of those teams don't want to play you in exhibition. So it comes down to which teams are like, yeah, we'll come play you in an exhibition. Because I guarantee you, if they never played Serbia the two times, right now this would be a really, really big game.

I can agree with that. Because of Jokic and how everybody views him being in the NBA, they would be like, oh, this is going to be the game. Because of Jokic and how everybody views him being in the NBA. They would be like, oh, this is going to be the game. They might get upset. They get to run that narrative. Now it's like, oh, okay. They already beat him by 26 twice. So leading up, so their exhibition, they play Canada, Australia, Serbia,

South Sudan, and Germany. Oh, damn. So two of the teams that were in their groups. Man, they did. Well, you know. Could have got France. See what was going on. Oh, damn. Yeah, so two of the teams that were in their groups. They didn't. They didn't. They didn't. They didn't. They didn't. Well, you know. Could have got France.

You know, see what was going on. Yeah, they could have got France. Do you expect Serbia this time around? Ken, you said playing a team twice is dangerous. Now playing them a third time, even though we beat them by 26 points in each of the previous two games. It could be, but. They got Joker.

Yeah, no, but I don't, I can't see the USA losing to them, but it could be. I'm not saying that it's going to, but... We just want to see some action, excitement. Get that work done. Joker's revenge. Ain't going to be enough, unfortunately. I mean, who they got doing it? They got Jokic, Jovic Jokic.

Bogdanovich. Bogdanovich, Bogdanovich, Bogdanovich, right? He be shooting shit out of them all. I'm sorry, Bogdanovich, Bogdanovich, Bogdanovich, Bogdanovich, right? Who? I'm sorry, but it's like, you know, the team only got like six names, right? It's like 12 players. I hear you. Am I wrong? Here we go.

There's two. Somebody, why he got his name twice? I was like, no, one is Jovich, one is Jokic. The one thing I have seen about the Euros. They got Jokic, Jovich. For real. They back down. Right.

They back down when American players actually show up and dominate, show their dominance, they just deflate completely. The Serbia team already, like, I thought that having Joker and having the Bogdanovich dudes would be an even playing field for just knowing how to play. But then those other guys get intimidated. They never played against the guys they watch on TV. That's the difference.

That's the difference. But now that it's the third time facing them, so I think those nerves... Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're familiar now. So now they get to go out and just hoop. That's what I'm saying. This fucking game could be dangerous. For sure. For sure. And it's the middle saying. This fucking game could be dangerous. For sure. For sure. Or you whoop my ass two times. This shit real.

And it's the middle round. Yeah, it's the middle round. Yeah, like, Kenyon dunked on me two times. That shit, what he did is real. It's real. Absolutely. You know, so it's... Yeah, but I'm saying them nerves are gone now for Serbia. So I just think, like, the first time they face, like,

damn, that's LeBron. Like, he running fast. Man, he big as hell. Like, you see how big LeBron's back is? You see how fast he was? Right? Jump from the vehicle line. So, but then the second time you face him, it's just, okay, they just better. Now the third time, that's right.

Got nothing, I mean, as a coach, you got nothing to lose. Even if they lose by 12 tonight, I mean, the next game, it's going lose. Even if they lose by 12 tonight, I mean, the next game, it's going to be like, ah, we got better. Right? We got better. It's a win. We fought.

It's a win. I think Joker turned it up a little bit, though. Joker, that was like 19-12-8 so far. I think he turns it up. I think he has to at this point. But then it's like, do USA take a chance and not double him? But he plays different here because of this team. With this team, he plays different than us with the Nuggets.

He don't got a Jamal, though. He don't have none of his pieces. Jamal plays different, too, though. Yeah, he do. His Jamal plays different. Yeah, they play different. Bogdanovich, boy, he shoot the hell out of that thing. He is Patty Mills in this mode.

He let that listen. There you go. In Atlanta, too. He was doing it. He was cooking. He does it in the league, so therefore, he is there for him right now.

For sure. You know what seems to be a great Olympic team if you don't have like the USA team? The teams that don't have as many stars because there's no practice.

I think people think that Jokic and Jovic and Moldovan practice with the rest of these. No, when they get selected, then they get put. The other people possibly been playing with each other for the last four years.

So they know each other. Now you're inserting the stars. Now the stars got to try to figure out. It's a judgment for both of them. Like, with Germany, it's... That looks like... Because there's only, what, one, two NBA players? Yeah, so...

So you got 12 guys who know how to play. The Vagners and, uh, what, Schroeder? So, the difference... Like, Canada, like, all them guys, it's like, we're all NBA players. We... It's 12 of us, so we're all, for the first time, playing with each other. Yeah. That's like all-star.

Can't have 10 NBA players on their squad. Yeah, that's like an All-Star game type of scenario, though. But overseas, it's more like the national team tradition comes up from even when Joker was 13, 12. They still play the same way. They still go about their process the same way. So nothing changes for them over time, even if they go to the NBA to come back.

Those guys that's overseas me learning this overseas playing over there is that those guys all are stars on their own separate teams the national team is the all-star team for the country so then when they bring those nba players back to there they feel like a superpower but to us they only got three guys on their team or two guys they ain't really shit so i can get the confidence that they have when they got those local national players like, all right, we done played them twice. We're going to go into this the third time. I think we figured out, you know, we know he LeBron.

We know he Anthony Edwards. But let's just try different. Let's try different this way. So I think it'll be a different game. I think they're still going to lose, but, you know, the Euros don't got that full power. And as much as we go through the full powers, who are all the Euros and the international players

that will go against the United States team? That's the question. Those are the formulated rosters that need to be brought about. These are the rosters that need to be brought about. These are the rosters that need to be brought about. Who's the international team that's going to match up against this USA team that we will put together? What USA team? The one they put together or the one we get to put together?

The one they put together. Why we sit here? You can't make us keep this roster. It's this roster. You need to change your roster. It's this roster. You should be able to add the motherfuckers we want on here. We just putting the world against USA.

What we got? Who they got at the... Who they got at... I don't care about... Who they got at the shooting guard. Nah, it's just... Who they got at the shooting... Who at the shooting guard.

He want to know the shooting guard. I give a shit about the... You've sparked a debate around the world. They got Bogdanovin. Luka's shape. So you got three point guards. Just from our conversation yesterday. Frank Wagner, Siakam.

He forgot about France. France is definitely playing the 2-3. Definitely playing the 2-3. Definitely playing the 2-3. It's not as lopsided as you may think it would be. And Siakam. Jokic, Wimby, Porzingis. Sabonis at the center. I forgot about Porzingis.

So you got one, two, seven. Yeah, he gots a lot of them. Let me see. That's a lot of them. It's a lot of them. It's better than we. Listen, man. With Wimby over there, too.

Listen, dog. And then at the we... Listen, man. With Wimby over there, too? Listen, dog. And then at the bottom, they got reserves. Like somebody said, there's reserves down there joined, too, so you can pick from them. Damn, whoa. And they got some nice reserves. Jokic, Wimby, Porzingis, Sabonis. Eight seven-footers.

Oof. Okay. But they play in different positions. All seven-foot lineup, Gil. You don't like this lineup? Different positions. Who? I'm just saying. You don't like this lineup? Different positions. Who? I'm just saying, you don't like the players that are over here?

Call them out. They would give us a good.. You got Luka, SGA at the back. OK, so your starting point guard is Luka. Who is your shooting guard? Bogdanovic? Shit, why wouldn't he be? I mean Bogdan.

You Bogdan? Bogdanovich? Yeah. We roll with it. That's the starting shooting guard. So your small forward. Frats. Fraz Wagner is your three.

And then Giannis is your four. And then Jokic is your five. Then you've got good subs. And then SGA is your backup. Jamal Murray, the two. And then Jamal Murray is your shooting guard. I don't know about that one, though. Okay.

But there's more at the bottom. We can sub him. There's more pieces. And then you're back a small four would be Siakam. Oh. And then marketing. Mm-hmm. Wimby.

And then Wimby. That then marketing. Wimby. And then Wimby. That's 10 with two more reserves. Your two more reserves is center center. Rudy. Or you can pick. No, Porzingis and Sabonis. Or you can go Porzingis and put him at the four, and you can. Yep. Sabonis born in Portland.

It's his high foster. There's somebody saying that to me, said he watched the show. Okay. And said he's from Austria. So he watched the show. We are international. Yeah, so he thought about it and sent it to my mother. Man, they put all those lineups together.

He put Wednesday after three. He's done tried everything. Yeah. You got to innovate, girl. Yeah. But looking at this... Hell yeah. Looking at the 2024 Olympics.

This is Martin from Austria. Shout out, Martin. Hey, like I told him, it'll be closer than niggas think. But looking at this... Hell yeah. Looking at the 2024 Olympics right now. Martin Smashed. Shout out, Martin. Like I told him, it'll be closer than niggas think. For sure. Smacked. For sure.

No, you said smack. You said smack. That team would get smacked? You know there's 24 All-Stars, right? South Sudan. The air up there. There's 24. One by one. 24 All-Stars. Only four of them are actually All-Stars, right? South Sudan. The air up there. There's 24. One by one.

24 All-Stars. Only four of them are actually All-Stars. So if they're not an All-Star, they're not good? Hey, Cheryl, he has to use accolades. You want good team players, Gil? He has to use accolades if I was there. I'm asking a question. He has to use that.

Because, I mean, at the end of the day, we can pretend it's team ball, but obviously they're in different countries so they don't even know how to play with each other also. Then it becomes talent. They do know how to play with each other. Oh yeah, because... The internationals? Yeah.

It's international ball. Nah, that's not how that works, man. Oh, that's international ball and team ball. So with your team, your USA guys, who playing the five? The team I put together? No, no, no, not the team you put together. I go AD and Bede. No, he's not.

No. I'm not going to let you put in. He's Cameroon. Let's stop that shit. Oh, okay. So you don't get to use him. You don't get to use him. You don't get to use him.

You don't get to use him. Can I get that list back there? I got to take the players off your list. Why? Who? He was born in the United States. Who? Nigga was right there born in Portland.

Sabonis. Sabonis born in Portland, Oregon. You'll take him off. Take him off the list. Take him off the list. Fine. I think there's another one on there. Take him off the list. Fine. Take him off the list. Fine. There's another one on there.

Take him off the list. Nah. There's another one on there. I put Sangoon on there, mama. You put Kyrie on there, too. I put Sangoon on there. Come on, man. You see? Kyrie born in Australia.

Definitely. Kyrie Irving. So we're going to take off. We're going to take off. You can't use him beat. Okay. Okay. That's fair. Okay, so we gonna take a beat. And I'm definitely adding him on here. Definitely. Kyrie Irving. So we gonna take off, we gonna take off NB. You can't use NB. Okay, okay, that's fair. Okay, then I'll go. Because if you didn't, if you just, just hear me out. If you took his face off of the thing and he talked,

you'd be like, yeah, that's my mother. He's definitely my mother too. Yeah, no doubt. No doubt. I'm just saying. You got good English. No doubt. That ain't right, man. What's wrong? no doubt. No doubt. I'm just saying. You got good English. No doubt. No doubt.

But, so who's your, so you got Anthony, okay. I go A, with that lineup, I go A, hey man. But, so you got Anthony, okay. I go, with that lineup, I go AD and at the five. Your team, that was my lineup, it was your lineup. So I go AD. Don't worry about who I got. I don't even fucking know. Who you bringing? That's what he do.

Who you bringing to the fight? That's what he's trying to match up. He's trying to match up. We going to war. You put your, you bring your 300. I go AD. That's it? Yeah. You lose already.

We're going to destroy you. Really? We're going to destroy you. That's it. It's only BAM and AD. It's only BAM and AD. But he just said AD. You don't want BAM.

You don't want BAM? Yeah, I'm going to get BAM. Okay. But I just know I got one guaranteed five. He's not enough. So then you're going to go at the fours. You're going to go BAM. You're going to go LeBron. You're going to go at the fours. You're going to go Bam. You're going to go LeBron.

You're going to go. Like, that's what I'm saying. Okay. Our strength is the shooting guard and the small. If you ever hear me talk, I always say the same two positions for you guys. Because with all my research, I know your five man is what's dominating. Your five man is the GOAT. And guess what we're going to do, Gil?

Your threes and fours and twos is what's weak of international. Okay, that's dominating. Your five man is the GOAT. And guess what we're going to do, Gil? Your threes and fours and twos is what's weak of international. Okay, that's fine. You got a unicorn at the one. But you know the way I think about the game. If we're doing this shit together, you're going to keep chunking threes, right?

And I'm going to be throwing this bitch on the block getting and ones, dog. It's the same thing. Bow. Bow. Bow. You're going to keep your guys in trouble. Bonus. Bonus. And I'm gonna be throwing this bitch on the block getting and ones dog. It's the same thing Wow Your thought process is I'm a Till we get in the boat. Yeah, I'm gonna start going down here right? No, we gonna get y'all in a patch up I'm pretty good on the three. Yeah, you would very only minute Giannis. Yo kids. You got one big You got one you got seven. You can't play all seven. You got one big. You got one. You got seven. You can't play all seven.

I need to play one of them. They're versatile, though, Gil. They can play Jokic. We got two that we, listen. And we got a big point guard that can do the same thing. Your four can't shoot. Your Siakam three can't shoot. Wait a minute.

Who is your team? He can't put it together. He can't put it together. I just want to know your team. Yeah, yeah, Cheryl. I want to know your team. We're trying to figure it out. We're trying to figure it out, too. Who's the five? I can't put it together. He can't put it together. I just want to know your team. Yeah, yeah, Cheryl. I want to know your team. We're trying to figure it out. We're trying to figure it out, too.

Who? Allie Burton. Take him off. NB. Huh? NB. NB, take him off. So I got four.

So I took off four, and then I'm going to add... I need a guard so I can go with Kyrie. Okay. Can you? I can go with Kyrie. This is not Nike. I can go with... He's born in Australia.

He's born in Australia. Are we doing that too? Yeah, we're doing that. We are doing that. I was born for six. He was born in Australia. Are we doing that too? OK. I'm just saying. Yeah, yeah. But I was born for six years. We are doing that. I give you. We are doing that.

Is Kawhi healthy, healthy? Yeah. Okay, so I'll give it. Everybody's healthy. Everybody's healthy. Everybody's healthy. Then give me Kawhi. Everybody's healthy.

He still coming with the baby suitcase though. No, no, he gonna have to, no, no, no. He got the big one. He got a pack. He got the big one. He got the two suitcases, right? He got the two suitcases. We should have known it was Apollo. Everybody coming in with luggage, and he coming in with a travel bag. Um... Steph?

Steph is already on. He already on. So you're on with this curse? Then we just take it off the floor. He needs two more. He had Jalen Brown and he added... Kawhi. With a healthy breath to get a look on you.

And I do... And he needs a center. Paul George. Three of the same size, nigga. Okay. I do Paul George. They all small. Mm-hmm.

Uh... Burping baby. Burping, burping, burping babies. Paul George. Gilder Chad is saying Ja Morant. Oh, I was gonna go with... I was thinking Ja. So I was thinking...

I was thinking Ja. I was thinking Ja. He's crying. Trying to keep this moving to go with, I was thinking Ja. So I was thinking, I was thinking Ja. He's trying to keep us moving. Get that nigga live. He wasn't going to say Ja, bro. I was thinking Ja or...

Dame? Or Dame. Or Dame. You also haven't said Ann Edwards, but that's just... Ann Edwards already on the team. Okay. I'm just replacing the guys that don't belong in the team. That's what I said.

My point, my guards... It just ain't going to be as locked up. The guards is evened out. The dominance is shooting a three and a four. You added four to this team, but... Your bigs is what... My point... So, Luka and Shea is like that.

Like that. They fucking like that. Like that. Healthy Jamal Murray is fucking like that. Like that. Who ain't fucking like that. Like that. Healthy Jamal Murray is fucking like that. Like that. Who? Healthy Jamal Murray?

Like that. Healthy Jamal Murray? Like that. He get motherfuckers fits. Stop it. And he sent you home. You should hate on him. In the NBA, yeah.

Yeah, in the NBA. Versus the Lakers. In the NBA. You should feel some type of way. Versus the Lakers, of course. You should feel some type of way. It's not translating. So he has an advantage

at the point. So I think I got the advantage at point guard. At your start? Yes. Luka, Shea, first team All-NBA. For sure. Shea, we got Curry. Yep.

Because you said LeBron playing the four. So you're playing LeBron at the four. So that's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's just Steph and Booker. Katie and LeBron at the 3-4. Okay. I'll give you those.

Booker and Steph at the point. So, the Luka. See, but that's what I'm saying. With Luka, I would not put Steph Curry as a starter if you're pushing in Luka at the point. But you got Dame. You only got Steph and Dame. I'm going to go Booker or I'm going to go Tatum at the one.

Nah. Because I know... You see,um at the one. Nah. Because I know... You see, he's bending it, though. No, what I'm saying is he's a guard. Like, my point guard on my team is LeBron James. So, just like the point guard... So, this is the thing. Like, your point guard I know is going to go through Jokic.

So, this is not... But you're changing your lineup based on that lineup. No, but this is not the new shit where I got to hide my line up here. Right, right. Oh, fucking two hours before the game. Y'all already know how I play. You send your five, I'll send my five. Yeah, and don't adjust your five based on who I got.

You get your five, and you don't be like, you see he played. I know how you play. I play big, so I would never have. I would never have. So Steph would never start in no circumstance? No, not on my team. On your team? No.

Okay, I'm with you. So who's starting? I understand. Who's starting at the point? I'm going to go, because my point, the ball is going to be in LeBron James' hand. Yeah. Right?

Like, I know it's going to be on Jokic's hand, right? So I know it's going to be in LeBron's hand. So from there, I'm just getting bigger guys that can finish. Yeah, see, I got two guys that do that. I got Luka and... Yeah, see, so... So, like, good luck. So, I'm not going to go

my point guard might shoot. I'm going to go... All right, I'm going to go Booker at the point. Because I'm putting the niggas... Because I'm putting... Because LeBron handed the ball the most

and he's the power forward. Now you're playing him at the point guard. See, this is the thing. So, what I'm going to do is... And then you're facing everybody else around. See, so what's going to happen is...

That's crazy. But why are you allowed to move? So, we're going to run a 1-5 pick and roll, right? He got Jason Tatum or whoever at his point. I'm gonna run a 1-5 pick and roll. LeBron is his point. No, LeBron is his four.

LeBron's my four. But he gonna... Jason Tatum is guarding. I'm gonna run a 1-5 pick and roll. He gonna switch. I'm just gonna post his point guard up every time. So we're bringing the 2K simulations back soon. Every single time.

The chat is saying we just need to go ahead and take it to the simulation after... I've done it. Well, I got to put it on the lineup. You already know

you hit Ronnie and got the inside info. I got it, because he has a different... He's tweaked it a little bit versus theirs. They had, like, he had Ben in his.

He had... I forgot, a bunch of other people. Okay. Well, we're getting those 2K simulations back soon for y'all. We know how much I enjoyed those. But let's look at this 2024 Team USA squad. Which Team USA player has benefited the most from this Olympic experience?

Benefited the most? Derek White. Derek White. What do you mean by that? Benefited. Benefited from this experience coming in. I would say if it's just basketball, it's Anthony Edwards.

Okay. I would say Anthony Edwards. Totality of the whole thing, fucking Derrick White. I agree. Because when he retires and all of that, there's going to be a gold medal up there that does not match his stats. That doesn't match shit about, says he's an Olympian.

Right? I mean, I'm just going to be honest. It's just honesty. Like, when his name got called, I'm pretty sure when these gold medal runners came back and nobody expected, like, the 1,500 runner, right, and he ran and won that race and beat the two favorites, his excitement is the same as Derek White

when he got that call. Okay. Because when his career's over with, there's not going to be a first team. There's not going to be no man. What did they say he was when he got the call? Huh? The man was on vacation.

Yeah. Well, you know. He had, no, he was on vacation. They said he was on vacation when he got the call. That man The man was on vacation. Yeah. Well, you know. He had, no, he was on vacation. They said he was on vacation when he got the call. That man had planned his summer. Yeah, just like everybody else. Just like everybody else. Planned his summer. He wasn't expecting to be there at all. The last person he thought was going to get the call was fucking him. If you would have gave him a list of basketball players and his name is on it, guaranteed he would have been honest and been like, yeah, they're going to pick him, him, him, him, him, him, him, him,

him, him, him, him, before they get to me. Listen, right now, there's one person on the team that no matter what happens right now, they're not disappointed, right? If USA wins bronze, there'll be 11 motherfuckers like this. There's going to be one nigga like, he's going to be there with the medal in his mouth.

This is a medal I wouldn't have had, God damn it, thank you for the call. This is a brand experience. He's going to be biting the bronze medal. Everybody else shit gonna be tucked in. Everybody's shit gonna be tucked in. He gonna wear his shit proud. That shit gonna be plastered on the walls.

He gonna have a parade in the hunk of town. Are you crazy? Are you serious? Wherever he grew up, he gonna have a parade and shit for his bronze medal, god damn it. But he is one that, when I say grateful, like, every time we see it, that motherfucker's just like this. All of that, everybody, hey, yo, stop smiling. All right.

I'm happy to be in this photo. This ain't gonna show no teeth. Every time we look at it, like, this is a great photo. This ain't gonna make me smile and show no teeth. We all look at the same one person like, yeah, he don't believe, he don't belong there. He and them up being like, yeah. Jesus.

He hit the lotto. So that was for him that this kind of like it improves his resume as a basketball player. For sure. And sure, you mentioned Anthony Edwards. Yeah. Before the Olympic competition started, and said he was going to be the number one option.

He was kind of joking, but he's serious. Just turned 23, August 5th. Leading this team in scoring, coming off the bench, has some huge games. Just coming into this season after his impressive playoff run, you look at Ant, how much has he benefited from this opportunity

to prove amongst the best of the best after especially the disappointment in the World Cup last year, now coming this year with this squad still being leading scorer. Shit, he didn't need no help with his confidence. Hey, listen, Jack, watch out. But I'm just saying it's a different field. But to be able to do what he's doing on this team with so much talent,

which is very different from Minnesota, I know he doesn't need help with his confidence, but it's gotta give him a little extra boost of confidence to be the leading scorer. He's playing with some of the best in the world. Yeah. Including his favorite player,

Kevin Durant. And you... So he's on the team, so he's the youngest one on the team, right? Mm-hmm. He is? Yeah, hell yeah. By far. How old is Halliburton? He's...

25? Let me check. He's 20 and just turned 24, right? He just turned 23. 23. Mm-hmm. All them old dudes on the team, that shit. Go, young fella. Yeah, Halliburton's 24. He'll be 25 in February.

Yeah, so pretty much the back. Yeah. Go, young fella. You got them legs. Hey, go ahead, young fella. Shit, go do your thing. So they give him the keys, you know what I'm saying? So it's...

But he didn't need no... He was gonna take the keys off the counter. Mm-hmm. He didn't need you to give them to him. Yeah, but if you have, to that point, right, if you have a KD, a LeBron saying that, like, does he not feel some kind of way, right? Like, they're like, you know what I mean? I get what you're saying, absolutely.

For some other player, yeah, that confidence was kind of wavering a little bit, for them to give him that, then yeah. But not for him. Like, he show, like, he look up to KD, but if you really, like, he don't see no different. Like, he like, I'm in the front seat with y'all. Like, this is a three-seater up front.

This is an old-school goddamn Cadillac. 1963. 1963, motherfucker. One big-ass seat belt. Goddamn deuces of war. a three-seater. This is an old school goddamn Cadillac. 1963. One nigga got a seatbelt. Goddamn deuce in the quarter. Motherfucking deuce in the quarter. You got to move the whole seat forward. One, two, three.

One, two, three. This is his mentality. So, but, if a lesson, if somebody just, so we talking about Derek White, right? If they say this to Derek White, His mentality. So, but if somebody just... I get that. So we're talking about Derek White, right? Yeah. If they say this to Derek White, yes, it gives him that. Even him being here is going to help Derek White's confidence.

Oh, fuck yeah. For next year. But for them to be like, hey, young fella, go ahead. We're going to go as you go. That could take him to the next level. But for Ann Edwards, it's just he's looking at it like, she appreciates you, but.

It's a but with him. Appreciate your but. Yeah, I was going to get this motherfucker either way. Shit, I should be starved. If you really catch him with his homeboys and all that shit, I guarantee it's like, shit, no fucks Steve Kerr thinking. Maybe, yeah.

I'm him. Agree. I'm him, right? But I'm going to be humble within this group because I respect these dudes. But when I get this thing, I watch the first. He got that motherfucker top of the key. And that one, boom, boom.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. He got off of it. But he dribbled that bitch seven times before he passed it. I'm like, he playing for the Timberwolves right now. A lot of people. Yeah, that part. That part. A lot of people don't be seeing, though,

like the whole dynamic of USA basketball right now is team over talent. And what that dynamic of team over talent look like is a bunch of guys like Derrick White, Drew Holiday can come on and be a part of a team and still affect winning. And us not have to go over here and get all these stars just to prove that we can win X amount of, you know. Oh, I just don't like the idea that... You did it before, though.

That's the point. They've done it before. They've proven they can do it before. And they went from Dream Team to... To Redeem Team. To Redeem Team. And then we went and got it. So now they're like, we can risk not bringing Ja on,

not bringing Kai on, not bringing Jalen Brown on, because we want the best team assemble. You know what I mean? It seems like this whatever. Okay, 92, we bust y'all ass. 96, we bust y'all ass. Then someone's like, but why do y'all have to

bring so many stars? Oh no, we can beat you with a bunch of regular ones, right? Then you start mixing them up like, no, hey, man, listen. And they start feeling like it's even now. They're like, it's even now. I mean, if you, hey, like, you play video games, right? You got the rocket launcher, right?

I'm gonna use it. And you, you, bah! Bah! There's always somebody like, you can't shoot me with no pistols? You can't shoot nothing? No! No.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Like, -"You can't shoot me with no pistols?" -"You can't shoot that man?" -"No!" -"No." -"Boo! Boo! Boo!" Like, I'm not gonna pull my pistol out, knowing you got a shotgun. I'm like, damn, with him, man, he always use the bazooka, man. Yeah, yeah, like, because I know when I'm getting fucked up, always, so why you just got to use a shotgun all the time? Try to try to out-shoot me. Nope.

Boo. And that's what it seems like happens. Try to out-shoot me. Nope. Boom. And that's what it seems like happens. We try to convince ourselves that we can create this team and still win. Like, man, fuck all that. Fuck all that. But that's what it does to the talent. It humbles the talent, too. So to think that the talent ain't good enough to play on a certain team.

And that's what they started doing with the 014 and then the 08 team those are all experiments to get to where we are now think about where we are well you got derrick white like you saying he's sitting there smiling he's like man i'm i don't give a fuck what what metal we play i'm here that's the team aspect they looking for they pushing for that but if there's a guy that's good enough like a brandon ingram fiba he didn't fit in for that team. You think they're going to consider him down the line? Just by the way it looked, right? And so now you don't pass a look test because you don't even feel

like a team guy. Then you got a talented guy like Ant Edwards, played on the same team, lost the same way, but was enthusiastic because he was good enough to play at the next level. You know that Brandon Ingram? That Brandon Inlund sitting there. Hey, what's this?

Who? Do you know four of these dudes come off the bench on their NBA team? Four of them. There's four players that come off the bench, and they playing in front of me. And I'm supposed to be here like, go! Like, nah, that's! Go, team, go.

Like, nah, that's not how it works, man. Of course you're going to ruffle the man's ego. Yeah. Because you're sitting here playing games. Facts. The pecking order has established. Now you just sit and put run plays around it and let it play. But you sitting here saying, all right, you average 30, he average 5.

Go. Like, oh, he average 5. Go. Like, oh, no, dog. That's not how you do team, dog. You lose respect across the board. Right? We talking about, yeah, USA team got you average 5, you go play 22

minutes, right? You average 5 on your NBA team, I'm putting you in here like you gonna average, what, 30? No! He gonna average two. He gonna average two in this situation. Look at how many minutes you play. He's only capable of this. He doesn't go from five to 30

just because you're playing him 30 minutes. But they banking on that. Guess what happens if he does get to at least 18? We made the right choice. We made the right choice. We made the right choice. Look, we did it. You put in my stuff all in the game. He's going to get 18 once.

It had to be the game that they highlighted, though. Yeah, yeah. It had to be the game that we knew he was good. We went by 40. Yeah, they went by 40. We went by 40. It don't matter. He stacked his points.

I don't give a fuck how long you played Derrick White. He is not pulling in 20 in the Olympics. Not at all. I'm just saying. He can get five threes. No. He can get five threes. You know why?

He can get five threes. No, you know why? For sure. You know why? He's not going to make it. Because he's looking at everybody around him. He's a basketball player. Yeah, he's a star.

He is a. He's furring. He's going to defer. He would defer every time. To every single player out there. He's going to feel bad trying to take that many shots. You're right. You're right.

He feels out of place. Yeah, because he knows that's not why he's on the team. So therefore, you're putting him out there and playing in a minute. You're doing him this justice. His brain has registered how many. He knows how many minutes he's supposed to play. And it started off with zero to possibly five he came in with zero to five he was the guy who's gonna sit at the end i wanted you know what

i need to go to the first game to see where he placed himself on the bench where he placed himself on the bench because people don't realize it's either the first seat the first seat right next to coach or i ain't playing or the last. Because I need to make room for the people who are going to get me. Absolutely. Is that a real thing? Fuck yes. There's a middle though. There's a middle seat though.

The middle seat is here in the middle of the rotation. My seven years in Denver, one seat was exempt from anybody sitting in the last. But any other team, the last seat and the first seat by the coach. First seat, you're the first sub. First sub and first seat. First seat, you ain't playing. and the first seat by the coach. First seat, you're the first sub. First sub and first seat. First seat, you ain't playing. You're sitting next to the coach. You're sitting next to the coach.

The middle seat is the first sub. No, you be sitting there like this. The first seat is the, I hope, coach puts me in. Coach see me. I hope. I hope. That's the rah-rah, nigga. That's the rah-rah, nigga.

So it's the middle nigga that's the first up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He explaining everything to you. You smart as a motherfucker. When you're done, you smart as a motherfucker. Because you ain't. You getting all the knowledge. Because he telling you all the good shit and all the bad.

Well, that was great. Look at this motherfucker. That was great. See, if you get in, see, if you dive like that, when you get in, see, don't do that. See, if you don't give him the game, coach ain't going to fucking play you. You got to call switch.

You got to call switch right there. You're in that first seat. Coach is upset with somebody. Oh, yeah. And you know everything. He's talking to you thinking you're his assistant. Yeah, you know everything. And you close enough for him to see your emotion.

Come on, y'all got down. Hoping one day he'd be like, hey, get him. Get that motherfucker. Oh, shit. That was the impulse. That made three games in that shit, boy. That's the impulse of it. He's an impulse.

Just go get him. Just go get him. Somebody. Somebody go get that nigga. Go get him. All right. Fuck off. Shit.

OK. OK. Shit. I ain't got no chance. I ain't got no chance. I ain't got no time. He's looking at the system like, why is he in the game? Oh, shit, I ain't got no time. I ain't even got my time. Three minutes into the game, you make a mistake, you realize, who the fuck put him in there?

Who got him? Get him out. I got you. Or it's the last scene, where you know you ain't getting no minutes, so you. Relax. No, you call that motherfucker, and he do this. Got to time up.

Got to time up. Boy. You call that motherfucker back and he do this. Got to tie him up. Got to tie him up. Boy. You got to tie him up. Oh my God. We got to see where Derrick was that first game. Let you know, man. That's real.

Zero to five minutes was what he was probably expecting, man. Remember, you're the last pick. Oh, man. You on vacation. You got put on this team. So to get put in, put in, you're like, what? But what is his role? What difference is about his role than anybody else's on the team,

seeing that he not, like... He has the best... People say he's not supposed to be there, but what would you define that role to actually be? He has the best role because it's all upside. So it's like five of them doing that. No, what I'm saying is his role has no downside because if he plays bad, he don't belong here.

Right. Anything he does is positive, right? So he going there and he get it still. Derrick White, right? He goes and, you know, whatever. Derrick White, if he makes a couple turnovers, well, you know, he don't belong there. So there's really no negative on him, then. Like when I watch the game, you know me, I'm yelling at him because he he's out there and then when he do some good. Yeah, that's why we

Then you take the shine. Oh, come on. Yeah, there we go. There we go Isn't easy on the team for huh? What's his reason for being on the defense defense? That is the dumbest shit. I've ever that's the reason they gave him so Jada Brown don't play defense Jimmy Butler don't play defense that's what they're saying I want to know what y'all think why is he on the team they could have won and got Gary Payton the third or fourth

he play fucking defense he play real defense Javon Carter they went to West Virginia goddamn play defense Mitchell for the Kings the Kings play goddamn defense. You want me to keep goddamn boys? I'm an American boy.

I'm a player that goddamn played defense. We're going to throw in our neighbors. Vanderbilt could have been out that bitch. And the one thing for sure, you ain't got to worry about him looking for shots at all. At all. We got a Laker on that beat.

Another Laker. I get to see you. I wouldn't say shit about no random. You shouldn't be on the team. I only get mad when he on our team. Get me. Let's keep this moving. I'm in that USA basketball getaway with that goddamn narrative

talking about this boy play defense. My ass. I play defense. Probably just. Shit, I play defense. It probably just right now. To them, shit. Probably to them, they just, but I guess as a coach, as a coach's staff, you're probably just looking around,

looking at people who can just fit in with the morale. I seen a football analogy, and someone questioned why someone picked it. It was like, he's the best player. Why didn't you pick him? And the dude was like, well, the night before, on Saturday night, he goes out and gets drunk and stays up

to 2.30 in the morning. So they was like, oh. So he plays horrible the next day. Oh, no, no, no. He gonna have eight catches for 135 yards. So they was like, why didn't you pick him? Because eight players is gonna go with him. Those eight players is gonna be horrible. So there's like, why didn't you pick him? Because eight players is going to go with him. Those eight players are going to be horrible.

Right? The guy we picked, he's not going to go out and then he's going to stop the eight players from going out. So in theory, he's going to save

eight players that's going to be great for us during this, during the Sunday game versus our star playing, but we lose an eight. So we get more value from this guy than we would get from this guy. Individually, he's going to be great. Team-wise, we're going to be great. That's how the Derrick get. There's never going to be a problem with them.

He's going to be upbeat. He's going to be one of those type of guys. He's there, you know, uplifting, happy to be there. So that's why I said he's the happiest dude there. Because he's happy to be in the NBA. Hell yeah. For starters. Yeah, I mean, it's not just from his path.

From where he came from, his whole path to being in the NBA. Yeah, it was like, yeah. Yeah, so for this to be about to be an Olympian, shit, listen. Child nine. Is it about the path being possible or that they're making the path a little easier? I think, nah, man, somebody like him earned it. He's earned his path.

I'm not saying he didn't earn it. I'm saying is the path getting easier? When you look at how we looked at it, we want to be like Mike. Oh, no, it's getting easier because of the exposure. Yeah. Because of the exposure. You can see a lot more.

But even for a guy like Derrick White, you look at McCullough, you look at Dane Lillard, you know, the routes that everybody took to get there from the small schools standpoint, right? And even from the prodigy standpoint in AAU, if you're not a big name and you got to fight your way all the way through the ranks, you finally get there, and you're like, all right, I know I'm not supposed to be here, but I am.

What's wrong with that? What's wrong with me being here? Nothing at that point. Nothing. There's nothing wrong with being in there. Once you get there, you got there. You got there. But there's a difference. There's a difference. So they started taking the football approach, right? Just look at, like, how many Hall of Famers,

how many things went to small schools, right? So I think they started looking at that shit and be like, shit, them dudes that, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, I just think, yeah, they were overlooked before. Now the exposure of the game has broadened. So you're able to put more lenses on it, more eyes on it.

And yeah, they promote itself. Yeah, like Shannon Sharp, right? He went to Savannah State? Yeah. Right? From there to a Hall of Famer. Dang shit, you can tell him about his football career. Like, this is where I start.

This is where I finish. Motherfucker, yes! The journey. Well, my journey, my journey from where I started to where it finished. Fucking Jerry Rice. Jerry Rice, too. Yeah, yes! The journey. My journey, my journey from where I started to where it finished. Fucking Jerry Rice. Jerry Rice too, yeah.

Fucking Jerry. Yeah. So you gotta get like that. Fucking Marshall, so it ain't where you just... Let's keep this moving. Ultimately. Yeah, skill set for sure. So heading into the Olympics, many question...

Heading into the Olympics, many question Joel Embiid's decision to play on Team USA. He only played 39 regular season games this season after having surgery to repair meniscus in his left knee in February. Did play in all the Sixers playoff games. Struggled early, but showed flashes during Team USA's exhibition games. And in the three Olympic games he's played in, he's averaged 11 points, five rebounds, 15 minutes per game.

So didn't start well for him in the group stage. Had four points, two rebounds in the win over Serbia. Sad against South Sudan. Got the DNP from Steve Kerr in the next game. Final group stage game, he had 15 and three and two dimes in Puerto Rico. And then 14 and seven against Brazil in the first half before getting the ankle injury. So looking just back on this,

did Embiid make the right decision playing with Team USA? No, I don't think he should have played. I already said he shouldn't have fucking played in the medal. So he's averaging 15 minutes a night a game, and he's averaging 11 and what? 11 and 4. 11 and 5 in 15 minutes. That's good. That's fucking excellent.

Yeah, man. Fucking shit, he played 15 minutes. People, damn, it's the net that you hear. But no, I don't think he should have played. I think I've been said from the beginning when he made the decision to play. For what? For what?

This wasn't important over here. Like you struggled, you coming off injury, you look, you made it, barely made it through the playoffs. If they would have so happened to get through the Knicks, he couldn't have played another round. I don't think he could have played another round of basketball. So, not at that level. So, yeah, I think he should have rested, worked on his lower body, got his, I'm saying, strength in his legs, get his, I'm saying, get his stuff and get ready for the season.

That's just my, yeah, I don't, I think it was a mistake. You said playing for the USA or playing for another team? Like, how were you? No, make the right, playing for a team, Like, how are you... No, make the right... Playing for a team... He could have played for France. No, okay. But I'm just...

They extended that invite, he said. Just playing. Playing in the Olympics, period. I think it was a mistake. I mean, he's gonna get a medal. Probably something he wanted, right? Because he's never played... He's never played overseas basketball.

So he gets a gold medal. He can chalk that up off his resume. Keeps his big ass in shape a little bit. Just a little bit. You know what I mean? Because if he wouldn't have been playing, we already say he's out of shape right now. He don't look in shape.

So by the time this is finished, now he can just get ready for the season a little bit versus him gaining more power. Let's be honest, Giv. You think he finna go right into it? Hell nah. So that shit sounded great. That's what I'm just trying to tell.

That shit sounded great when you said it, right? I'm just trying to give him some hope. Yeah, and we told you where hope worked. He gonna get about 20, 30 pounds. He gonna take some time off. He gonna take some time off. So my thing is, he should have just worked on, like, he should have took this time, man, to refocus.

But does it look like he's limping out there in the game? So, yeah, that ankle sprain... Almost like an infield game. Yeah, just... I mean, just for him. You know what I mean? That gold medal might mean something just for him personally. Somebody who had knee injuries.

Like, you had knee injuries. I had knee injuries, right? The reason that I was able to continue to play after I had microfracture surgery twice, had my patella repaired, had a scope, all that shit in my left knee, had microfracture on this knee. I got everything around my knee as strong as possible. Right? I lift upper body, but most of my concentration was my legs and my core. I got everything around, surrounding my knees as strong as possible.

I didn't have knee problems again. Like, my knees don't hurt to this day. If I go out there motherfucking do some shit, running and all that, but me just aching, I'm probably swelling. If I go out and try to play right now, I'm 46, be 47 soon. Yeah. But you got to get this shit strong, man. Like, you got to, and I think you should have spent that time doing that

instead of playing. Because it's just more wear and tear on him without strengthening. Whether he playing 15 minutes or 25 minutes, it's just more wear and tear without working on what he needs to work on. He playing with the wrong team. He shouldn't be playing at all. He made the wrong decision. This is karma for him.

Oh. You know what I'm saying? Should have played with the France team. Why? He's not French. He'd have played more minutes. He's not French. No, he wouldn't have.

That's the team that they had him down for. Yeah. They had him down for France. So, if he'd have played for France, he'd have played a lot more. The reason why he don't look in shape is because he not getting no minutes. He ain't getting to do the shit that he needs to do to get in shape. And that's, outside the court is one thing,

but when you're trying to get in that basketball shape, get back in the fluid of it, and you playing with a bunch of great players, France, he'd have been able to get into his rhythm again. Cool, but no gold. So that's why I said the right decision, because he gets to get gold. It's just gold, right?

So that's why I said if you want to just knock it off. If he goes to France, they get gold. No. He's playing 15 minutes per game. He goes to France, the Euros, with Wiwi, Fifi, and all of them. No. Going to gold, going to Disneyland. So he's saying nobody's playing more than 20.

So LeBron, I think, is leading the team with 20.5 minutes a game. So he's playing 15. Yeah, he's playing. I mean, he be out here. He don't need to play more. He don't need to play more. Like I said, he don't need to play more than 15 minutes. So if you're the Sixers, are you happier that he's on this team,

the USA squad, as opposed to France playing? I'd rather him be on France so he can actually get up and down and move and do his shit. Because if he's at home, what is he doing? He's not playing. He's just sitting around. He didn't play at all. You're sitting around.

But to have an opportunity, though, to play in the Olympics and especially with the U.S. with an opportunity to win gold, you know, that's a goal and a dream for a lot of athletes. It's easy, though, Cheryl. That's easy.

It's an easy cakewalk for him to do that. That's why it's not, I mean, it don't look the way it looks. So if it was the record, they could. He probably wants a gold medal. Easy or not, right? But it looked nasty on his resume because of the way he's playing and the way he's getting it. And that's why we even have this conversation because it's like, oh, he's not playing the way we expect him to play. Really big.

We already had a conversation. Could the Sixers veto him playing? Could they have been like, no, you can't play? It reminds me of the story I heard about... I don't know. ...80s dunk contests, right? So, because... Because it wasn't fair, let's just say that. It wasn't fair for all the dunkers.

Most of them knew they were not going to win. You know, it was already favored on who's going to win. So, most of those dunk guys didn't wanna show up, right? Cause like, what's the point? I can just be on vacation. The teams said, no, we don't have television games. So that jersey being in dunk contest gives us exposure. Got you. Right?

So back then, most of those dunk guys was forced to be in a dunk contest. That's why you saw some of the dunks you saw. Yeah, you know, motherfuckers be like, niggas ain't creative at all, dude. They just out here because the team was like, nah, you're going to go represent us in the All-Star game because this is our first time getting that exposure on this level. That's why the All-Star game to us was so important back then.

But people didn't realize when somebody from Atlanta is playing in the All-Star game he took that shit serious because that's the first time the world got to see him. He didn't have 23 television games.

He didn't have no television games. So that's Michael Jordan over there. God damn it. I'm about to go and fuck him up. Right?

This is because this is the first time I get to be seen. So majority of those teams in the 80s they didn't have TV games. None of them really had TV games.

It was just Michael Jordan, the Lakers, 76ers, and goddamn Boston. That's it. Everybody else, when you play Michael Jordan, you get to get on TV. Other than that, see a Dolph Star game. So, Sean, as you mentioned, Bede had the opportunity to play with France, decided to play with the USA. Probably not a great look with the games being in Paris. He's gotten a lot of hate as a result of that decision to shun the French squad.

During a recent interview on the Czech ball show, Embiid addressed the hate he gets from fans around the NBA. I'm probably the most hated guy in the league. I don't know why, because, you know, I'm such a, I'm just cool. You're the most hated guy in the league. I don't know why, because, you know, I'm such a... I'm just cool. You're the most hated guy in the league? I don't know what's there to hate about me. It's the injuries. I think it's the injuries. I feel like a lot of people can relate to my story

and, you know, what I've been through. So do you guys feel like Embiid's the most hated player in the league right now? What? Most hated? That's Rudy Goldberg. What? You ain't deserve that.

It seems like that's probably... From the league? From who? Media, players, fans? That's Draymond. You think Draymond more than Goldberg? More than Rudy Goldberg? Hell yeah.

For sure. From players or fans? Everybody. Period. Period. Overall. The totality of it. The totality of it.

Shit, yeah. Overall. Overall, Draymond. For sure. Dylan Brooks? Nah. No? He ain't no good.

He fresh. He no good. But that's what I'm saying. But that's what I'm saying. Rudy, he's no good, but he's winning awards. He ain't won shit. Right? That's true.

I feel like Westbrook up there, too, for some reason. But then he had it. And B used to... Trae Young. Trae Young. Trae and Westbrook. Trae Young, Westbrook. Yeah, it's a one, two, three.

But they not doing it. Trae Young, Draymond, Westbrook is... And B used to troll on Twitter a lot, bro. He still troll on Twitter. Like, he used to do a lot. He warranted that. That shit was... He was asking for that shit.

Yeah. So now he's sitting back and he's like, that most hated dude. He's making a joke. That's why he said I'm a cool guy. Now, he understand you're a troll. He's just a troll. He's trolling now.

That's what I said. It's so hard. Even from the beginning, I was like, yeah, you're a person. And I remember I wrote this a long time ago. I said, he has the personality that he's going to be a superstar, but he has a personality that's going to make him hate it. When he don't win stuff and he still makes those type of jokes, media will turn on him.

That's how it is. When you're like that, when you give off that persona, when it don't work in your way and you're not winning, they expect you to get serious at some point. And if you don't, they attack you for it. at some point. And if you don't, they attack you for it. Dwight Howard. No, no, no. Well, yeah. I was about to go further back than that.

Who was similar who had a personality but backed it up? Shaq. Shaq was the only one that was like, look, I can be this type of personality but I'm going to win. So now you can't say nothing for Embiid. Like, Shaq

was really the ultimate troll, if y'all really thinking about it. He was the ultimate troll. But he won championships. Of course. So for Joel, it's like, at what point are you going to stop fucking playing around, bro? See, that's what I'm saying. See, when you have the person, when you're just a natural, fun-loving

person, right, they fall in love with that when you're not winning they are they they they pigeonhole you and say you don't supposed to be fun loving you don't supposed to you're supposed to get mad yeah when you're losing yeah when you're losing you're supposed to get mad you're supposed to turn into to to kawaii right you're supposed to be a kawaii go about your business. Get the fuck off the internet. You should be in the gym 24-7 trying to win.

If you're not and you're living life like you normally have, something's wrong with you. That's just how it works, which sucks. I mean, because they won't win

and it won't affect your mood and your personality. Yeah, they want you to feel how they feel. Like, if you lose and it don't affect you, there's something wrong with you. For sure.

And then if you're stoic and you're winning, it's like, how come you don't smile? Yeah. That part right there. How you not enjoying your success? How you not enjoying it? That's the way it is. Story of my fucking life.

You're just so... You're just quiet. just go out and shit. I'm a fun guy. Yeah. You got the reporters like, you so mean. Who you so mean? God damn.

I used to get it. Why you don't smile? I'm not just going around handing out some... I'm cool. I'm a good dude. I'm just not handing out unwarranted smiles. Yeah, man. You got an unliked commercial, man.

And if you're not smiling, you're not winning. Bad attitude. Bad attitude. I want your smiles, motherfucker. Yeah, man. You got a light commercial, man. Yeah. And if you're not smiling, you're not winning? Yeah. Bad attitude. Bad attitude. You're not standing up and clapping for your team? He ain't the team player. One thing I hate is this shit.

That fake shit. I fucking hate it. That George Foreman. That's a George Foreman. Don't give me that. I really don't know. That Roy Jones Jr. smile. That fake ass, no teeth smile.

No, don't give me that shit. That's like a hat. That's a hat. That's a hat. That's a hat. That's Jones Jr. smile. That fake ass. Fake ass, no teeth smile. No, don't give me that shit. That's like a half handshake. Like I'm about to snitch on you. That's a left-handed handshake. Two fingers and shit.

That's a left-handed handshake. What's the smile again? That's the opposite. That's the wink in the gun. Not with the head tilt. Straight telling. You know what I'm saying? That motherfucker lying.

He lying. That motherfucker lying. Another productive day in the arena. So we asked the chat two questions. Oh, my God. We said, Joel Embiid playing on Team USA is a good thing or a mistake? 57% agree with you, Kane, you said it was a mistake. Then we also asked, the chat, is Joel Embiid the most hated player in the NBA right now?

62% or 82% said Cap. He's the most hated person in France right now. Yeah. Because they're booing the shit out of him. When he walked in the tunnel, they're booing him. They hurt. He touched the ball, they're booing the shit out of him. When he walked in the tunnel, they're booing him. They hurt. Yeah, he tricked them. He touched the ball, they're booing him.

I don't understand that. He tricked them. Oh, he tricked them. Well, now I know why they boo him. Yeah, they booed him. I didn't know. Why? Did he say he was going to play with them?

Yeah, so his father moved to France. And he basically said, if you give him a citizenship, I'll play for the team. Oh. He got citizenship. Oh. Oh, yeah. Hey, uh, I'm just going to stick with this gold. Oh, thanks. Yeah, so...

He reconsidered his options. He reconsidered his options after his dad got legitimized. Nothing wrong with that. Hit him with the Jackie Robinson. Hit him with the Jackie, man. Hit him with the Carlos Buzzi. Go for it. Hit him with the Carlos Buzzi.

That was a straight Carlos Buzzi. What? Jackie Robinson hit it with the Jackie, man. Hit it with the Carlos Boozer. That was a straight Carlos Boozer. What? I like Cleveland. It's a great city. What contract I got? Banana in the tailpipe. Hit him with the old banana in the tailpipe.

That's that first 48 method. Yeah, all right, we're going to let you go. Yeah, you're not under arrest. All right, good job. Walk out, walk back again. You're under arrest. Oh, all right, we're going to let you go. Yeah, you're not under arrest. All right, good job. Walk out, walk back again. You're under arrest. Oh, you motherfucker. Free to go.

You're free to go. Gotcha, man. All right, well, let's keep moving. Kevin Durant made some history in Team USA's quarterfinal win. KD is already the all-time leading scorer and rebounder on the men's side, but he passed Lisa Leslie for the most points in U.S. Olympic history. So Durant was six points shy of Leslie's record, finished the game with 11 points,

was given the game ball afterwards. Seems very excited about that. He does. All the players signed the ball for him. So Durant now has... Wait, wait, wait. When you say the game ball, who signed it? The other team, now has hair. Wait, wait, wait. When you see the game ball, who signed it? The other team, too?

Or just the American side? Let's see. Let's see if we can read those signatures. Late game ball. Okay, okay. We can go. Okay. Because I'm pretty sure he's like,

yeah, because that ball has some names on it that that All-Star ball don't have. You know what I mean? That All-Star ball is a little bit more, let's just say, prestige. You're not letting everybody sign it? That ball got Derek White's signature on it. Man. Come on, man.

Oh, buddy, man. He's an Olympian. Get out there. I'm just saying, because I know all the all-star balls he has in the last 15 years. Cheryl, don't shoot. Girl, don't shoot. Quad, girl.

Do not shoot. I'm over here, and they're going to shoot me. It's a pricey memento like all the jerseys. I'm just saying, if he put it up for sale right now, his All-Star Ball in that USA ball, pretty sure. The record-breaking ball? The names on that All-Star Ball would be a lot more prestiged. Anywho, Durant now has 494 career points in Olympic competition.

Two games remaining should easily break the 500-point mark. Hey, they put him on the fucking team. They made this possible. Let us have fun. Hey, they made this possible by putting him on the team. We didn't take it personal. We just have a fuss. Hey, just a joke.

This is Gil's arena you've come to expect. I don't know that man, but the shit is hilarious. Listen, if they left Jaylen Brown off the fucking team, we're not going to let them get over this shit. No, it is. We're just going to have fun until the gold medal. Until the gold medal. Until it's over with.

Until it's over, that's all. It is. I agree. I agree. I agree. It is. I'm going to get that boy off all over again. That they left Jaylen Brown. That motherfucker horse dead. I'm. I agree. It is. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree.

I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree.

I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree.

I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree.

I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. Days ago, in anticipation of her record getting broken, Lisa Leslie posted this tweet on Tuesday after KD officially passed her. She said, Congratulations, Kevin Durant. I'm honored to have you break my Team USA Olympic record. Our dedication to our country is evident and etched in stone.

Now go get another gold medal, my friend. One team, one goal. Gold. Hashtag Go USA. Shout out, Lisa Leslie. And after the game, KD had this to say about setting the record. He said, records are meant to be broken. I'll hold on to this until another great comes along and passes me up.

Lisa Leslie, you are the gold standard in basketball. I appreciate your love and support throughout the years. Much love to you always. It's about to go, baby. Let's get it, fellas. Let's go. What's your reaction to KD setting the Olympic, U.S. Olympic record for career points?

U.S. Olympic record. No, no. No, no, no. It's all about words, because I'm like, I didn't know if that was a thing. Is it the Olympic record for all the Olympians, or is it just this team? There's been some bucket getters around the globe

that have more points. But for the U.S. Olympic team, men's or women's, men's or women's. U.S. Olympic team scoring record. U.S. U.S. Yeah. Which sounds impressive.

Yeah, because that's what I'm saying. I'm like, It's not. So he passed Lisa Leslie. Right. Don't she have the record on the women's side? She still maintains it. So who had the record on the men's side? Kevin Durant.

So why the... We don't know who the world record is. Oh, but who had it before him? No, I'm just saying, so Kevin Durant has it, so it's always been his record. We just... No, no. It was Melo at one point.

We just want to just take her record from her. It was Melo at one point. No, but I... So we just want to take her record. I think they put it as. Right, you're saying because she ain't played. Yeah, but I think they're just saying USA period, men and women. She has the record. Okay.

All time. All time. All time record. Yeah. Between both teams. For U.S. Olympic basketball. When was this set created it was created when she set the record for the when did the record start when did the record start exactly

when they did play their first us because you guys been when the first women's game but the women i don't know when the record started but that's when then the women started started on the first team. They just... She just... I mean, does it go all the way back to the first Olympics? If she only would have played one, then it wouldn't have been her. That's what I'm saying.

I don't know. So I don't... Like, if each one of them would only played in one Olympics, then it wouldn't have been her. Why can't they just... Why can't they just have their own... Yeah, but because Lisa played in her first Olympics in 96. First Olympics.

Yeah, first Olympics in 96. So she broke the record. But is it... Okay, is it an Olympics record or is it just USA basketball? USA basketball in Olympic competition. In Olympics, so it's Olympics. So then it started in 96. For her.

Yes. For her. That's when the record... That's when it started. Why can't she just keep her record, God damn it, and Katie... Well, she still has her started. Why can't she just keep her record, God damn it, and Katie... Well, she still has her record.

Why are we trying to combine it just to put somebody at the top of it? Why can't they... Oh, she was actually both. She was king of both. She had the record. She had the record. Over men and women.

Oh, okay. So... Because it was mellow at one point, right? Mellow for men. So you're asking, why can't she keep the record on the women's side and then who has the record

on the men's side? Yeah, why we got to bring it so we can just like, why can't she just be the queen and then he be the king and then we keep it like that? Why does it like, you know what?

I don't like that. You got more points than me so we're going to have to, we're going to join it up so I can beat you like that. I don't like that She should be able to keep It still has her record She doesn't have a record

Yes on the women's side on the women's side it still exists. Yeah, she get a ball when okay How about this? She probably did she get a ball when she but who record did she break? See that's the cool, that's the question. See, that's the question. So who played in the Olympics before her? I don't know. Because I want to make sure she got her ball. She had to break somebody's record.

So did she break your record? No. How do you know that? Because my first Olympics was 96. Oh, your first. So it had to be... Yeah. So it had to be someone before us.

Yeah. I don't know. So who played in the most Olympics before them? Charles Barkley. On the women's side. On the women's side. No, it wasn't on the women's side before y'all. I don't know.

I don't know. It could have been some college. Remember, I think it was college. No, please. I'm sorry. You're looking... I just want to make sure she got her ball when she broke the record. I'm sure she did. I'm 100% positive.

Or any creative shit she did. She got something. She got a ball. I don't know if we signed it, but she got a ball that said Lisa Leslie holds the all-time scoring record. We got to make sure somebody hit Lisa. Just make sure you have a ball.

If she don't have a ball, you better give her a goddamn ball for when she had it. Let me see. They're going to let Derek White sign it. You just want to make sure she had a ball. When was her last Olympics? I believe it was. That's what I was about to ask.

It was like from 96 to 2004. I believe. Four gold medals. Four gold medals. Four gold medals. Yeah. So on the 08 team, did they give her? She was on the 08 team? Did Lisa get?

Yeah, she was on the 08. That was her last Olympics. I'm asking. Did Lisa get a ball? She did four stints. She got the most. I just want to make sure she got her. She got the most what?

Points. I just want to make sure she got her ball. Is that four stints the most so far? No. In Olympics? Tarassi. For somebody that's still playing right now? Tarassi six. Tarassi six. She about to break the record? She broke it. She got the most.

I don't know. So top five scoring men's and women's. KD, Lisa Leslie, Tarassi, Mello, LeBron are your top five. Mello was the leading for men's for... Okay. So Taurasi the next one in line. Okay, sure, that's a lot. I'm just saying if she got a ball.

Did she? Let's hope. While we wait for that answer. I just want to make sure she got a ball. But, but, but, since this is a record, I mean, yes, it's amazing. Congratulations. Salute. Thank you. So we still on the USA shit, right? Oscar Schmidt, I believe, has the most points overall.

Oh, my God. Because I wasn't here yesterday. Y'all were talking about the South Sudan shit, right? And I just wanted to say shout out to my man, Luau Dean. Okay. I talked to him a few years back before he started this South Sudan thing. We had a long conversation in Miami about, you know, bringing NBA players over there to invest into everything he was doing there.

And, you know, years later down the line, you know, here we go. They look like an ultimate development conglomerate that he's developed over there. And I want to tell him I'm proud of him. And, you know, regardless of whatever comments were made. And we will keep it moving, keep it positive. Don't shoot me. Don't shoot. Don't shoot.

Don't shoot me. I'm not doing any hoops. I'm in the backseat too. Hell no, they can't do that because if, why, the context is joking and fun. Like, we gotta keep it in the context. Just don't shoot me. Don't shoot me. Like, we can't, like, it's like. This shit's me. This shit's me.

Like, we got, like, it's like... But shout out to my nigga, Luau, man. We knew we'd become so serious that we can't make jokes support, dog. That's crazy. 2020. When you listen to it, you know it's all jokes, if you know you. And I'm like, this dick is crazy. This is dope.

We have moved on forward. We're speeding full speed ahead. But, Cheryl, you play... But it's kind of crazy, though. He started it, and, you know, everybody believes in it, but in it. I'll let you know when I get the answers. Nobody helped him put any money into it and he came out of pocket 100%. Yeah.

He asked me. If I'd have had it, I would have been in there. We got so many supporters. He played on... How many teams that man played on? He played on a lot of damn teams and it just seems like the only American who believed in his dream was...

I... Well, I agree, right? Anyway. Does everybody else think? and it just seemed like the only American who believed in his dream was... All right. Well, anyway. Does everybody else think? Because they did say he came out of his pocket 100% last four years, and there's so much outrage out there. They did say that. Nobody gave him a dollar.

He's making money on the gold mine. Ain't nobody giving him a dollar, man. I think y'all should take all that fake, whatever support y'all had and put real dollars behind that man. That man should be able to come out

the next Olympics and say, hey, out of all Americans that felt so enraged, they gave me $12 million to build up

my facility. Right? Yeah, we will see what happens in the future. I can tell you what's gonna happen. Unless I double down

and say, you motherfuckers ain't gonna do shit. And then, you what's gonna happen. Unless I double down and say, you motherfuckers ain't gonna do shit, and then, you know, it's reverse psychology, and then they wanna prove me wrong, then they're gonna go build him a facility, and then behind the scenes, he's gonna be like, yo, appreciate the help. Moving on, my brother.

Moving on. Cheryl, you play... You know how Americans are. You say something, and, you know, you force them to do it. Y'all ain't gonna do shit. Y'all ain't gonna go build no facility out there. Y'all just gonna...

Y'all ain't gonna do that. Cheryl, you played with it against Lisa Leslie. I said, truly, bro, you gotta trick these motherfuckers into investing. Let's give Lisa Leslie some flowers. What made Lisa Leslie's game so special? I mean, LL was a problem. You know, I think because people talk about positionless basketball now, right?

Like that's where we are. And to me, I think Lisa may have been, if not the first, one of the first to kind of start that. Like she played the five, if not the first, one of the first to kind of start that. Like, she played the five, but, you know, Lisa extended her game where she could play on the perimeter, shooting from the perimeter. But Lisa was just a dog. Like, two of my favorite players that I ever played with, Don and Lisa, it was just something special about Don running the point

and Lisa being our big and me on the wing. So to the question that Brandon asked yesterday about, could this team play with that one? No. We were just different. But I just love Lisa's game, everything about it. On the defensive end, she was a problem. Offensive end, yeah, a problem. Offensive end.

And, yeah, smooth. That was her nickname. Okay. Smooth. Smooth. And we are still finding out. She got the other ball. She should have the California record, right, for most points? I think she would have like 100 and a half of them, if I'm not mistaken.

She had 100. And the other team didn't. No, so Cheryl Miller has it with 105. Yeah. She did that job. 105. No, so Cheryl Miller has it with 105. Yeah. She didn't have 105. She was like, I said the last two minutes. And I'm like, well, Lisa had 100, and then she would have broke it, but the team quit at halftime.

Then she had 100 the first half. And it was like, we out. The team quit at halftime. So she didn't get to break the record. It's like, Ah, that sucks. Bring your ass back out here. Bring your ass back out here. Put the cheerleaders, y'all put these jerseys on, goddammit.

Somebody put a jersey on. Somebody with y'all school colors, let's get this work, goddammit. I got the record to beat, goddammit. I need five more points. Shit, you can leave after these six quick points. Right? So, well, let's keep it moving.

Wimby and host country France came through with the upset over Canada in the quarterfinals will face Germany in the semis. So, with 10 NBA players on their roster, Canada was seen as one of the biggest threats to Team USA, the gold medal hopes. But that threat has now been neutralized. So, the biggest story of the game was France benching

four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert, along with Evan Fournier. Gobert played less than four minutes in the game, going scoreless with one rebound. So Gobert suffered a finger injury in practice two days before facing Canada. Told reporters after the game he had surgery on Monday, didn't even know if he was going to play. But France head coach Vincent Coulet called Le Cap saying Gobert didn't have surgery. He didn't. Said he did not have surgery.

He did have an MRI and exam. Did not have surgery. He also shed some light on his decision to bench the big man saying, quote, the main reason for both starting lineup changes was the lineup from Canada. They always start the game with Dylan Brooks at position four, and they play small ball. I want a win-me to start at the five rather than Gobert. So that's why I put Gershon Yabusele at the four.

And the second change was Isaiah Cordinier for Evan Fournier because I wanted to start with a defensive starting five. So question for the couch. Why do Rudy Gobert's minutes always seem to reduce in big situations? Why does the narrative of the dumbass fucking, like, trying to find a lineup that work, and all of a sudden, there's just got to be, like, oh, we're benching a player. So, they lost to Germany, I believe, in the group stage. He wanted to mix things up a little bit.

He was picking on Rudy. Ended up working out, though. I think Yabasele had, like, 21. Yeah, they won. Cordena had 20. They won the game. Rudy, whatever the fuck he did or didn't do, not be able to play the game, finish the game,

don't fucking matter. They won. If they lost, then I could say, yeah, you benched Rudy. No. Nigga, we changed the lineup. We switched it up. The question is, why did Rudy say he had surgery when he didn't? Ah, that's the story. Why did he need to lie?

I think he said he's thinking about surgery. No. No. He said he had surgery. So according to Sam Amick, he told a pool of reporters after the game that he had had surgery on Monday. Wasn't even sure he was going to play, but he wouldn't justify why he got benched. Exactly.

And then France head coach. So he got benched on Monday? The game was... Tuesday. Yesterday. Yesterday. So France head coach said, no, he didn't have surgery. He did have an MRI. Wasn't sure if he was gonna play, but the injury wasn't the reason that he decided to shift the line.

So he said something and... Oh, well, he was trying to jump ahead of it, and the coach backdoored him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's fucked up. That's fucked up. That's fucked up. That's fucked up. I thought I had it in the bag. I thought I had it in the goddamn bag.

Fuck. Coach, shit. I was like, what? What the fuck? Damn. There goes that kid, bitch. There goes his... First of all, I ain't really got no lower seats in this motherfucker anyway.

I only see you every four years. That's it. That's it. You ain't my problem, God to this motherfucker anyway. I only see you every four years. That's it. You ain't my brother, God damn it. Damn, man. We won't sit your ass down. Damn. But, I mean, what's just your reaction to the fact that the four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year,

including this past season... Hey. Hey, how about this? Can you read? There's a part you need to read that we've been... I think all the NBA players have been telling American voters the same thing over and over,

and you guys keep not listening because you guys think you know basketball. There's a key part. Can you read that again? To read the quote? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Read that again.

So I'll read the, he said, wanted to play small ball. I wanted to win me the start. No, just go to the last line. Just go to the last line. Just go to the last line. I'm sorry. I didn't want to waste your time no more.

Because I wanted to start with a defensive starting five. Starting five. Oh. That feels like the most shade of the whole... Yeah. That's why I highlighted it. If you can't go with both of them? I want to go...

If you can't go with both of them? I want to go with the... You're not going to put your... I'm going to put my... Your four-time defensive player... Look, because what we do know is my young guy is better than my old guy. One thing we know for sure, for certain. This one guy that's in front of this old guy who's his fourth time,

this is like Mutombo versus if Kenyon was 7'1". I'm putting Kenyon in before Mutombo, but I know Mutombo will give me what Mutombo will give me. But your time's up. We got a new nigga in here now. So sit down, bro. Because you can't play them both. No! You can't play them both. He said small ball. He said we want to go small

with Wimby. I want to go the defense. He's supposed to be the best defensive player on earth. You got to come back on offense, right? You got to come back down on offense, right? You're not going to sub every position. So you would rather W he did because he needed a defense. I have the best defense player in the game. Wimby is equal to the defense within Root.

So why would you put them both? They're the same. Why would you put them both? What you mean? I would have the best defense. No, you know that's not the case. It's clearly showing you the defensive thing that we keep saying. He is a liability.

We've been watching it over and over. Right? keep saying, he is a liability. We've been watching it over and over. Utah. Shit, he can't play defense. We can't use him defensively. Take him out. Why does he keep blocking shots? He keeps getting pulled out, but he's considered the best defensive player, but

when you need him to be defensively, he's being pulled off the floor. So it's a contradiction to his awards. No. So they're clearly saying, we want to think defense. We need to bench this nigga.

That doesn't even make sense to his awards. If they said we're benching Wimby and we're going with defense, makes sense. But you're going to say the best defensive player that keeps winning awards in America, to us, he does not going with defense. Makes sense. But you're going to say the best defensive player that keeps winning awards in America, to us, he does not play great defense. Get him to fucking sit him on the bench. We're playing the four minutes.

So does he do anything good defensively? He didn't say that exactly, but he did say the small ball, the small ball side of it. No, all that small ball contradicted itself at the end. That's why I said small ball. When you have an agile seven-foot guy that is actually the same size or not taller than Rudy, that can move better than Rudy,

what can be considered a smaller fucking seven-footer, that's what you're going to go with. It's a smaller defensive guy. It sounded as stupid as when USA said, yeah, we brought Derek Wright here for defense. Okay. And they did. Hey, we brought Derek Wright here for defense. Okay. And they did. Hey, we benched Tatum

because we couldn't put him in at the four. But he's a three. Like, there's just some things that just contradict. But you put him at the four, though. You be putting Jason Tatum at the four. I know, but they've been putting him in at the three and the two.

They've been putting him in the three. They put him everywhere, so there's no excuse. Has he played the four now? When they've been putting him in at the three and the two. They've been putting him in everywhere, so there's no excuse. Has he played the four now? When they've been putting him in the game, is he playing the four? No. Who? Jason Tatum. Oh, we talking about Rudy?

We talking about Rudy? No, I'm just talking about Jason. But you can see the contradiction in lies, right? This is a clear, but you can see that the contradiction, we wanted to go small ball, but then you say at the end, we wanted to play better defense. But if we wanted to play big, if we play big ball, you know what we're going to do? We're going to play both of them in this game the same,

which is going to be a slower, bigger, defensive. Yes, it's going to be a defensive lineup. They wanted a smaller defensive lineup, not a bigger one, which is why they didn't play them two in the game at the same time. And when you say smaller defensive, you're going to go Wimby, not Gobert. You say smaller, he's taller than him. But he's faster, he's thinner, he can move with them. Smaller lineup?

Smaller defensive. Smaller defensive. Because of how the match was. The match Canada, then it was like, yeah, but we want to go to our defense. Because they started dealing brooks. Because they were picking on him. Everybody pick on Roode just like any. We're going to pick and roll.

He's the last of the flat foot, sturdy ass, big ass, goofy ass big man. He the last of them. It's a disrespect to his awards. It can't be. He's the same as Duke Mutombo. They're the same nigga. No. I'm not going to yell out defense

and take out the defensive player. They just have defensive qualities that you don't depend on their offensive skill set when they in the game. Who? Mutombo? Neither one of them. But they used to run plays for Mutombo. You mean he got buckets when he ran plays for him?

Yes, they did. Mutombo would hook the shit up. They run plays for Rudy. No, they don't run no ran plays for him? Yes, they did. Matumbo will hook the shit up. They run plays for Rudy. No, they don't run no goddamn plays for Rudy. They run plays for Rudy. They just don't throw the ball. They just don't throw the ball. When they got a motherfucker like that,

that play was for Rudy. When they got a point guard on them, they might throw it down there. When they just switch to pick and roll and they got a point guard on them, they might throw it down there. You know they ain't running no plays for Rudolph. Older, flat-footed.

They all got the same type. But if Dikembe was one, two, your ass, hooking the shit out you. If they were to say we wanted to go with a better offensive lineup, makes sense. But you used defense. You remember during our draft, the man who was in there. Who are you going to pick next? Yeah, we need who was in there, right, there's a,

who you gonna pick next? Yeah, we need a shooter. Yeah, I need a shooter. I need a shooting guard. I'm gonna go with James Worthy. What?

I still gotta be the most blow shit I've ever heard in my life. Like, I go, what? Did you just say James Worthy

out of all the names that's up there? You need shooting. Allen Iverson was up there, too. It was like, hey, I was up there. But then he dove down on it. Pick Elgin Baines. Elgin Baines.

Back to back. Back to back. But that was the niggas. It was the same niggas. It was the same niggas. That's what this looks like. Who telling you to pick these dudes? Who on your team?

Oh, you think we're changing number one and picking number one according to this scene? But that's what this looks like. Same team, same team. Shit! You didn't say where they needed to shoot from. Oh my God. You didn't say where they needed to shoot from.

99% from the fucking other. All two shots. It's just like, I don't know, it's just, but I guess, but I guess that's why he lied. But I guess that's why he lied. Probably. Because I'm, I'm going to be offended by that. As, as a four-time defensive player of the year, and my coach is saying we didn't start him

because we wanted to start a defensive starting five. Regardless, small or big or whatever, you're a four-time defensive player of the year. Better. But you should be starting. Better. Better what? I'm a better player than you.

Yeah, but that's not what he said. Defensive player, too. I'm the better defender. I'm the better player. Your time is up. I can get both. Yeah, but you're still... Regardless, you still are a four-time defensive player of the year.

Yeah, I mean, Westbrook was a three-time triple-double champ. I can have Duncan and Robinson. Wait, Westbrook... But we're just talking about expectations based on accolades. We know that he got these accolades, even coming off of one. But it's like we also know Wimby on his team. Yeah's exactly why he said he had surgery yep because he knew he would he know he know what's going on the time is up no you're you're compared they played a five and a four rude like it's a five and a four that's their matchup it was like we want to go defense

and we don't want people to pick on you. Rudy's too slow. Yes. Yeah. So we want to play deep. So they're basic. He told the world the nigga don't play defense. That's like saying, I'm looking for some shooters.

I'm going to go with Mark Madsen. But that's just not true, because the reason he's not bringing him in there is because he's just not fast enough. He got slow foot speed. It ain't because he's not a good defender. It's just because he just don't fit the matchup. He's not a great defender for them. Like, just like we said, you can't be a great defender if

everyone wants to put you in the pick and roll and pick on you. That doesn't make sense. True. But that's the same thing with Yael. Like, we got Yael in the pick and roll. We want Yael in the pick and roll. We want Yael to become a great defensive player. Yael was never a defensive player of the year.

Go back, let's go back to Mutombo. Let's go to anybody. Like even Ben Wallace, hey, Ben Wallace, we want Ben Wallace. Even though he's not even

a slow, he's not even a slow footer. Any big, that's a five, that's a big ass five, we want him in a pick and roll. I've never seen nobody do a pick and roll

and say, I want Draymond Green guarding me. Because he's the same size as you. He's the same size. No guards, anybody. When they do the pick and rolls, say, I want Draymond Green guarding me. Because he's the same size as you. He's the same size. No guards, anybody. When they're doing the pick and rolls, we're going to try to ISO Steph. They'd say,

I don't want Klay on me. I don't want Draymond. I don't want Iguodala, right? You don't put the best difference. I don't want him on the pick and roll. Nene, bring that nigga up here. That's the difference. Nene is Rudy Gobert. He's windy. Leave his ass down there. Come up here. Nene is Rudy Gobert. He's Wendy. Leave his ass down there.

Come up here. Nene, your slow foot, big ooga booga looking ass. That's what I want. Him. Yeah, but. That's what they treat. Slow footed, ooga booga. They treat Gobert like that.

Yeah, ooga booga. Can you keep your ass back down there, your young lightning bolt? He said ooga booga. Yeah, I'm cool on all that. You stay down there. I want the old nigga with the cinder block feet. That's it.

How many defense awards did he... What did you say Marcus can be then? Yeah, it's like, all right, I... Marcus can be the five, you the four. Right? And it's like, all right, we want some great defense. All right, can be sit down. Can't even start at the five.

Handle it. Not ride the four. And then you go down like that. Kamby going to be looking like, this nigga just say defense, right? He didn't say offense. He said defense? Nah, but he know K got it, though.

He said we want to get our defense. Tighten up the defense. He know he got it because it's a smaller lineup. You can't say smaller lineup and say best defensive team. If K, look, if Kamby is the nigga that's getting beat on the pick and roll, we gotta put K in there because he's a faster big for us.

It's a better matchup. So then just say we want a smaller starting five. I hear what you're saying, yes. Just say we want a smaller starting five. The year, it's a slap in the face for him to use that statement. The statement. It's the statement. But nobody's using the statement in the statement.

Yeah, they are. He said it. He didn't say, oh, I'm benching my fourth time defensive player of the year. He's just saying I went with a different strategy. I went with a different strategy because I felt like it was a better defensive measure. That's what he said. No, it is not a defensive measure.

I went with a different strategy at first, but then he ended it saying... This was a better defensive five. Defensive five. Starting five. So... Yes. And it was.

And it was. Because one, this ain't the NBA. So none of them fucking accolades mean nothing. Over here. So we should end the discussion right there. Like, you didn't end it with matchups. We should end the discussion right there. It's not the NBA,

but if you are a four-time defensive player of the year in the NBA, you should be able to defend internationally. The rules are different. That's where it started at. The international rules are different. Yeah, they're different.

He wasn't getting defensive player of the year when he started. It ain't that award. They don't have that award over there. That's why he don't get them. He don't get them over there. They might just know he can't play defense over there. But ain't that award. They don't have that award over there. That's why he don't get them. He don't get them over there. They know he can't play. They might just know he can't play defense over there.

But they might just know that. But that's what I'm saying. It just is. But it's a clear. Who's the best defensive guard? Michael Jordan, right? No. You said who was?

Like when people say Michael Jordan or Kobe, right? Yeah. I think both of those. And then they said, all right, all right. Hey, G.A. and Kyrie, go out there and play some great defense. Like, it just sounds stupid, right? We know if it's one last stop, right, your best defensive player is supposed to do it.

So the fact that you put someone else out there and put a lineup that you think is a better defensive lineup kind of clearly shows that you don't respect his awards. No. You're seeing something. That's not saying that. Just like we said it. We said Wimby was a better defensive player.

Everybody said it. We're not scared of Rudy Goldberg defensively. I wasn't disrespecting any of that just because in a situation, he don't match the situation. Why does his awards need to be taken away from him? We didn't say it takes away. They gave it to him. We're just saying, clearly, the voters, something you guys are looking at,

something you guys are looking at is the rest of the world, the NBA players that's playing, the ex-NBA players, the coaching staff that's playing against them, the overseas now is clearly all on the same page here. Right? Because if I'm sitting there like, all right, Jason Kidd, we're going to put Rudy Gober in the pick and roll, right? Every time he go, put him in the pick and roll, we're going to go ISO.

Clearly the coaching staff is saying, yeah, he is probably the weakest. They did the same thing to Anthony Davis in Denver. Put him in the pick and roll, hit the fucking game winner in his eye. He can't play no defense either. But we're not going to call him a non-defensive player because he ain't won the Defensive Player of the Year award. Now you got to go tell him to play better defense, right? You're saying he was a four-time defensive player of the year?

Anthony Davis wasn't? Yeah. Right, but he got dotted an eye on a mismatch twice. Yes. But they're not taking him out. Twice. But the difference is, though, that the game is on, they're not taking Anthony Davis out.

Because they don't have a fucking Wimby on their team. If they didn't have a Wimby, Rudy Gobert is not sitting down. Let's guarantee that. But they do. Exactly. So if USA... Why do you keep trying to compare the four men? If USA had a Wimby,

Anthony Davis would... He'd be up in the air with him right now. You know Rudy plays... With who? On the Olympic team? Yes. If they had a Wimby. Rudy Gobert is the starting five man. Okay. Wemby's starting in the defensive scenario we're talking about right now.

So that means they would say, we're going to sub in Wemby for Rudy. And then whoever was playing. The three or the four. My last. So that means. So I got a five man that play defense and a four man.

These two combined, in theory, is the most unstoppable at the rim, whatever. Are we going to remove you because he's better at it? Who's a better four than Wimby would be, defensively? We're going smaller, not better. Defensively?

Whatever the dude named, Yabale, whatever his name was. Gershon Yabasele? Yeah, Yabasele. He moved to the four. So he's considered better than Wimby? I don't know about that. I don't know if he's better, but I know he's smaller. If we're going smaller.

So, Gil, you brought up Draymond Green, who's also former defensive player of the year. So Draymond responded to Gobert in a bench on his podcast. He said, to be taken out of the lineup on any other team in the Olympics as an NBA player not named to Team USA is kind of crazy. Not named to Team USA is nasty work. That part of your sentence of crazy. Not named for Team USA is nasty work. That part of your sentence

is crazy. Yeah, you got to break all the sentences down. So to be taken out of the lineup on any other team in the Olympics as an NBA player

not named Team USA is kind of crazy. Damn. Wow. So if J-Mond played for another country... He's supposed to play all the minutes. Right.

And if they didn't play him... Yeah. He would be saying, damn. But he didn't say playing at all. He just said... Didn't he say take it out of the starting lineup? Mm-hmm. Mm.

I mean, I can say... We can double down. For a non-NBA player? That team is probably... Less than four minutes, though. That team is probably... Right. An NBA player for a non-NBA player? That team is probably... Less than four minutes, though. That team is probably... An NBA player for a non-NBA player.

And he only played four minutes, right? Three minutes and 41 seconds, I believe to me. And there's only how many NBA players? He only played three minutes the whole game? In 41 seconds. You're an NBA all-star, all-NBA player. Four times defense player. Just a regular nigga.

You NBA player. You, sit down. Regular nigga, let's go. Damn. Like, I can see now it makes sense. Not another NBA player, you sit down. Regular nigga, let's go. Damn. Like, I can see now it makes sense. Not another NBA player like Canada, right? You get benched in Canada, that's kind of like USA game. You get benched for other NBA players.

Just get... But he got benched for Wimby and Yana. No, he did not. No, for Yabusele, I believe, and then they shifted Wimby over. That's the same thing. No, it's not. What the fuck? Yes, it is.

You're just trying to make him look bad by saying it the other way. It does look bad. It doesn't look bad if he's being bitched for Wimby. If he's being bitched for Wimby, it doesn't look bad. And you're making it look bad because you're saying it another way to make him look bad. Y'all are crazy. Oh, wait, how many minutes? Yo, this is fucking insanity. How many minutes did Wimby play? That's insanity. Give me one are crazy. Oh, wait, how many minutes? This is fucking insanity.

How many minutes did Wimmy play? That's insanity. Give me one second. 40 minutes, right? There was 40 minutes in the game. How many minutes then? Give me one second. So Wimmy had to play 36 minutes then?

Give me one second. Wait, and who did they play? Canada. Canada. Yeah, so give me one second. So question, does Canada have a big that can match up with Gobert? Yeah, Kelly Olenek. Wimby played 27 minutes in the game.

27 minutes. So that means when Wimby got out, they had to put someone else in. And that someone else was anyone but not Rudy Gober. It was a whole nother nigga named whoever. Whoever. That's what they went with. I say, y'all, you lay whoever. That's what happened.

Let's go. Rudy found out what it was like to be the... Yon Pier. Rudy found out when he was having surgery. Jean-Pierre, come on in. So you mentioned Canada. Oh, my God. Let's talk a little bit about Jamal Murray.

So Nuggets guard Jamal Murray is supposed to be the second best player on Canada's roster behind SGA. Murray struggled in Olympic competitions, moved to the bench. Canada went 3-0 in the group of death. He averaged six points in four Olympic games, 29% from the field, 14% from three, finishing Canada's quarterfinal loss to France

with seven points and three turnovers, going three for 13 from the field. So as we know, in this postseason, in the NBA, he dealt with a calf strain. Unclear how much that impacted his performance. But our Jamal Murray... Stop with the calf... That calf strain was there two months ago, man. I mean, come on. Just pointing out the...

Does he even start on that team? He did not start on the Canada squad. Of course. He started before. Yeah, but then they moved him to the bench. So he was a starter. He was? I think in the exhibition season, but... Yeah, he started. Come Olympic time. He's out of place

There's not his offense, right? So in this offense Who is the who do we want with the ball in the hand the whole time? I would imagine SGA Yeah, so now he has to be strictly a shooting guard Right. It's not like he's Steph Curry right where he can sit and bounce around. He's used to pick and roll, doing what he does. So this would hurt him, right? I'm pretty sure the second best player would be Toronto kid. R.J. Barrett. R.J. Barrett, because he can just catch a shoot and play his little one-on-one. So it looked like this, he would be the second best option, right?

Unless Murray is backing up point guard or putting the ball in the this looks like it would kind of hurt his style. This is what I love about basketball just the international play allows players to be either exposed or glorified based on whether they know how to play basketball or not

like you can tell a guy can go out there and mix it up with all the other players who they never played with before and thrive. And they look like y'all play on a string, got a flow, got chemistry, just because you know how to play the game. I think that Jamal just is one of those guys that he ain't playing in a system where he can control all of his elements and Joker can control all the elements. He out of whack.

There's not a lot of players that can actually do that, though. Yeah, man, you got to really now, you really not really have to now appreciate some of the guards that we don't really appreciate. So you have to appreciate someone like Steph Curry, someone like Kyrie, where you take the ball out of their hands, they are still magnificent. Danger.

That is a skill that is not taught and is underappreciated. Everyone is great with the ball in their hands. How great are you without it? Because if someone comes on the team that has who's better than you. If you're Murray, this was your team. Shea emerged. So we want the ball in his hands. If you can't be dominant now, you're only a one-style guard.

You've got to be able to be considered one of those dudes. They take the ball out of your hand, you're still magnificent. And you can't even be considered a role player because you're stuck in limbo. You've never been role player. Yep. And now you're like, well, his role is my role, and they gave it to him. So now I don't know what that role is. I'm just kind of, and that's how he playing.

He playing like when he get the ball, he's stuck like, oh, shit, do I score it? Or I ain't never been here before. But that's why I say it's team over talent when you got to figure out what you're going to do with the team's head to the team side or you want to do with your individual side. You want to go there to get your points off? You're not going to go to no team that got a stacked,

you know, national team where they looking to go to the cup and they looking to win it all. You want to go to some team that just going to let you shoot it up. Ten NBA players on that Canada squad. So, in response to Jamal Murray's Olympic struggles, a lot of people were calling him a Jokic merchant, was the term that was getting thrown around. But how much of Murray's success comes from playing with Jokic?

Oh, I love it. Nah, man. That motherfucker was him in that bubble. I'm not even gonna lie. Nah, man. That motherfucker was him in that bubble. I'm not even going to lie. Jokic versus Jokic yet, so... That's still one year. Couple games. Shit.

They're consistent, man. Yeah, he's in... Especially with the injuries and all that. You got to remember, how Shea plays makes sense because Shea is not necessarily in a system. Right? If you really watch how Shea plays,

everybody moves around. When he gets it, it's ISO basketball. He's ISOing. Right? So it's not in the same form as James and Luka. He just gets it, one and go. Right? It's switch, switch, go. So he's quick, he's quicking you.

But it's still ISO basketball. It's not an offense where they're running plays and stuff. Murray's in more of an offensive style, right? It's more technical.

So the fact that he don't have those plays, it kind of, it kind of fucks him up. It's kind of what we're saying, though. Like, the technicalities of playing like Steph

and guys can play without the ball, without an organized structure or a play he's ran and you can just play free but know where to go. That's what it looked like. It looked like that at the end of the playoffs when they was putting pressure on them. Denver, and you're like, man, y'all need to do something. Timberwolves make y'all look crazy, specifically Jamal.

So to me, it's just a carryover. His confidence is down. He need to find that confidence that he had when they won it. Other than that, I mean, that pick and roll look good when it's working. But when it's not working, what you doing? Well, and because of, to your point, because of the way SGA plays, it's a lot easier for him to adjust to Canada's style than it is for Jamal. And especially when you don't have a lot of time to practice with that, with your national

team, your Olympic team before you start competing. So that's why I think SGA, like, he's playing the same way he plays for the Thunder with this team. Yeah. Without that reliability. That's a joke are you talking about? Yeah. Yeah.

Like I think like this goes back to training and this is why like it goes back to just old or like new trainers. As someone who trains and trained myself as a point guard, in the summer I trained like a shooting guard, right? I trained like a shooting guard, right? Because during the season I had the ball all the time. Now I need to know how to be good without the ball. So in the summers I did a bunch of running off, picking rolls,

coming down, running. That was my training session. So I'm learning a new thing. So when someone like Steve Blake comes in, I don't have to get subbed out. Right? Someone like a John Wall comes in, I don't have to get subbed out. Because I know how to now run, run, come off screens. Some of these guys don't know.

They're sitting there playing with the ball all the time. It's like, wait, what happens when you don't have the ball? You don't know what to do? Yeah. Like, my son's been playing. There's not a lot of players like that, though. Yeah, I've been talking to my son. My son's been playing with, he's been going to the runs,

and he's playing with Danny Green. And Danny Green says, you're PG? Well, today you're going to be shooting guard, three, run, backdoor. He said, while we're playing this game, you need to have anywhere from 15 to 22 backdoors. So now he's teaching my son, backdoor, hey, he turns his head, go, move a different, and he says, and he's teaching him how. So my son's like, yo, I backdoor like 22 times a day.

He's like, because I guess, you know, and that's what I love about, you know, Danny Green. I haven't talked to him yet, but the way my son is talking, it's like, look at this, what I've been telling you. Backdoor, cut. He looks the other way, go. Replace yourself. And now him seeing it and his working against other NBA players,

you're like, I didn't know NBA players is stupid. Oh, yeah. Nah, that's what Paul Pierce told me. I mean, it's one thing that when you're playing off the ball like point guards, everybody thinks it's the same way that way for everybody. For point guards to be able to go back door, space the floor, do a little point guard shit, but it's different for guards. We have to do what bigs do.

So if you're a big guard and you like to post up, you got to work on your duck ends. You got to work on if Kenyon or KG got the ball at the high post, mid post, and they're trying to decide whether they're going to do a dribble handoff or they're going to look down and throw it to you in the post. If you don't know how to post up or flash or do any of that other shit, that's off-ball shit. That's coming through to the off-ball.

Like, ah, I got this position. It's two easy points. So I started learning, like, Paul had his own play for that, where everybody gets stuck behind him, flashing in for a little quick boom-boom. Melo had his own play for that. So those are off-ball things, too, just like for the guards. If you know how to play off-ball, you can know how to post up as a guard, and you get buckets all day. We didn't know how to play yesterday.

I know. What y'all over there kicking about? The women's game. The women's game. And you get buckets all day. I know. What's all over there kicking about? The women's game. The women's game. You know, this is, you know. They smacking them? They're up by 23.

Okay, well. That's who they put in. But Jackie Young started and Diana Taurasi did not. See, they listen to us now. Well, I don't know if they listen to us. And to answer your question, Lisa did not get a ball. See?

She said, I only have the ball that, like, the whole team signed. And it wasn't for her. We all got an autographed ball. So then she said, but the funniest thing is, I didn't even know I had an Olympic record. See?

Y'all go, no. I'm like, well, y'all, she needs a ball. So she's sitting there like, I gotta sit here and say, oh, shit, congratulations. I know, right? Motherfuckers will tell me when I beat the motherfucker who did it. I didn't know I had a record.

Hey, y'all heard what Pat Bev said? What did Pat Bev say? This is recent? I know, right? Motherfuckers will tell me when I beat the motherfucker who did it. I didn't even know her record. Y'all heard what Pat Biff said? What did Pat Biff say? This is recent? About what? He's happy playing basketball again instead of standing in the corner and being a role player with the Bucs. Uh-oh. With the Bucs? I go back to a role where seven seconds to go, give me the ball, watch me rock.

Isolation step back. I get to hoop, you know. That's what people forget about. It's cool. I played a great role. I had a phenomenal NBA career while I was in the NBA, but I don't want to stand in the corner and play with the Bucs. That makes sense.

The Bucs stops here. That makes sense. I mean, a lot of players, you know, their roles change over there. You get to be cold over there. So, USA, let's just go, we're going to put it out. USA, y'all owe Lisa Leslie because Lisa Leslie... Yes, you do. She didn't get the ball?

She didn't have the ball? No, she didn't. You owe her a ball? Now I'm getting all messages. Underdog Fantasy sent Lisa Leslie a ball as well. Yep. Okay. Out of respect.

You can't give somebody an award where the person he, you know, they beat didn't get one. I mean, I agree. That's why I said it just seemed weird. So, now they're all in a group text. They come to me. You got the whole group. That's what KD got.

You trying to star something? Uh-uh. Yeah. I am. Yes. She needs her ball. With her record, her stats, all of that on it. Acknowledge.

I mean, that's what I'm saying. You're acknowledging it being broken, but you didn't acknowledge it when it was held or when she got to the top and broke somebody. That's why I was like, well, wait, why is it? I thought you were where I was going. I was like, what? Yeah.

LL, we got you. Give Lisa Les her ball. But quickly, you talked about SGA and how well he played in this Olympics. But after getting knocked out of the Olympics, an emotional SGA sat on Canada's bench with a towel over his head. I believe we have a photo. Some claim he was crying. I'm not sure.

But he was definitely emotional with the loss. He was dominant in Olympic competition. He averaged 21 points, four rebounds, four dimes, nearly two steals per game. Wasn't enough to get Canada their first medal since 1936. So do you guys understand SGA? They have not. This was one of their best, 10 NBA players on this squad, one of their best potential options to get a medal.

Went 3-0 in the group of death. We're on the complete opposite side of the bracket with Team USA. So would have met them in the gold medal game if they had advanced that far. But Wimby and the French. Fuck. Edit. Different approach. There's a very famous line.

There's a very famous line and a very famous song. What does it say? I don't want to tell you. That can be said and it just... It's already... It's perfect. It's like the perfect set... What is it?

Huh? Is it obvious? Is it obvious? No, no, no. It was. No, no, no. What song right now is USA versus Canada? Not Like Us.

Not Like Us. It's not like us. It's a great one to use right here. Agreed. Use your imagination. That's my bad. I fucked that up. Got you better. Yeah. Agreed. Use your imagination, ladies and gentlemen, at home watching the show. That's my bad. I fucked that up.

Got to do better. I said, is you USAT? That's not a little lie. I got to do better than that. That was. I got to do better. Real nice. I'm still the mother of them.

I got this. I said turn over. Turn over. Don't turn over. But do you understand she has emotions in that moment? No. You're not rolling? Yes.

Thank you, Cheryl. Yes, I do. It was... How would you say no? Ten NBA players. They lost. They really thought it happens when you lose, you lose. Yeah.

But you can't understand his emotions in that moment? Personally, I can't. I mean, we just didn't get it done. We got a big group. We got four years to prepare for another battle. True, but it's like, with this team, you really they really thought it was probably

silver at they thought it was metal. That team, I mean, come on, that was Because think about who they're supposed to have. They want the undermen. Edie's supposed to be there. Wiggs didn't play. Ben Simmons could possibly be on that team down the line.

That's great. Oh, my bad. Well, technically, two of the kids from South Sudan are supposed to be on that team. They planted their flags everywhere. The two darts games. Yeah, two kids from the South Sudan team are supposed to be on the Australian team.

All under the British Empire. All under the British Empire. I think it was... I mean, crying is cool. You're a competitor, but at some point, it's like... I don't know if that man was crying. His country's not crying. You don't know if he was crying just because he had a towel over his face.

No, they said he was crying. They said he was emotional. Some people said he was crying, emotional. People connected inside that he was visibly distraught. He was distraught. It probably hurt. I mean, shit. You losing to them, you're like, oh, shit. Like, damn.

And was it over time? No. Did he have 40? No. He didn't give it all he got? He didn't give it all he got? He didn't give it all? He didn't go out with no bank, leave it all out there? Oh, I hear it, man.

Like, come on, man. 50, 20, and 7. He didn't leave it all out there. I don't want to hear it, man. Like, come on, man. 50, 20, and 7. He didn't leave it all out there. I gave him a couple tears. You know what I'm saying? 27, 5 rebounds, 4 assists in the game. Played 37 minutes. Dylan Brooks.

He was crying because he didn't want to beat him up. Dylan Brooks, 21 minutes, 2 points, 3 rebounds. What about Barrett? RJ Barrett had 16, 3-3. He played 30 minutes. Who? Dort? Dort, 8 points in 21 minutes.

Basketball ain't working. Name Hart. Did not score in 15 minutes. Oh, yeah. See, they had a bunch of things that didn't show up. Yeah. The problem with their team is they think this is, they really think this is, what do they call it?

I'd be hating the word. I don't want to learn it. Why don't you talk? When they say everybody can play every position, that's bullshit. Positionless. Yeah, they think this is positionless. They think they can put six foot at the center

and wonder why they can't stop. Hey, coach, I thought you said this was positionless. He's strong. He's strong. But he's strong. He's strong. Come on, PJ. Come on, PJ.

Box him out. Box him out, PJ. It reminds me of that Martin clip. Flies around tonight. Lou Doerr, box them out. Not Martin. Not Martin. Yeah.

Wow, that shit was funny. It was funny. I don't even know what I'm just saying. They just small, though. Just say I miss y'all. Just say I missed y'all. Just say I missed y'all. The whole team is just guards, man. Like and subscribe.

It's August. It is August, ladies and gentlemen. We knew y'all missed us. We knew y'all needed this show back. Like I said, Gil don't really believe. He had his vacation planned, so he let us get a couple days. Why didn't Edie play? They say Memphis took him out.

They told him he didn't want to jeopardize it. Seriously? Yeah. So Philly could have done that. Yeah. How about Wiggins? How about Wiggins? I think Wiggins was a trained thing.

He wanted to train for the same thing. He didn't want to jeopardize. So we'll have to wait until 2028. Okay, okay. I guess we have to ask Canadians, how do they really... Do they feel some type of way that those two guys didn't participate?

Which makes the team bigger. Canadians in the chat, are y'all salty that Zach Eaddy... Yeah, put that as a what's-his-name. I think if Eaddy played, it'd change the dynamic of their whole shit, straight up. Of course, I mean, yeah, because you're much bigger, too. He blocks shots.

He rebounds. He just gives you a presence. And it takes the ease off of them other guys. They feel like they got to do more. I guess the problem sometimes with the international teams that we don't understand sometimes is even though they're from there, they might not have played. Because Jamal Murray's never played international basketball as an NBA player.

Yeah, he played youth basketball, 16U, but he's never played. So this is all foreign to him. And B's never played. It's all foreign to these guys, right? So they have adapted NBA style, right? And now it's like, all right, now go here and learn this. And they're like, uh, OK. You know what I mean?

Wimby just finished before he came here playing international, right? You know what I mean? So some of these guys, they're adapting to this style. Is it fair to say that a lot of guys that don't adapt, they don't adapt because they've never done it before? Is that fair to say? A lot of guys...

You know why I don't like that? I don't like when Americans, when we go over there and say, it's a different game, right? Because when the Euro comes here, he don't have a problem. Yeah, he don't say that. Right? You know, we come on, oh, yeah, we can remember the blocked shots. Well, they blocked shots off the rim.

They come here and understand not to do the shit here. Yeah. So I don't like that. I don't like that. They can come here and not go 10. It's just you have to be mindful of it. You know what I mean? And they rarely get three seconds.

They rarely get three seconds. They don't have that over there, right? So, like I said, the complaining we do over there now is irrelevant. They don't have three seconds? No. Defense three seconds? No. It's college rules.

Or you're saying three seconds? Offensively. No, I'm saying defensively is a second. So they can sit in there. So they understood said they understand Okay, here's different rules. I got to get out one two three. So how can they adapt? Easy and it doesn't become a problem of them, but we go over there we always different rules We can slap the ball out there. We did like, just you. Oh, it's so weird. It's so weird. Just say you're dumb. The ball is so.

Boy, you're dumb. The ball's different for them coming here, and they seem to be having fucking fine. Give me the ball. Let me work with this shit. Rub it, hold it, grab it, bounce it. Get used to it. Y'all remember when you get a new ball,

you're like, OK, let me go ahead. No, no, don't touch my shit. Man. You on the ball, hey, you on the bus with it and shit, just... You know that one ball you like, the ball you like, all the rest of them you hate.

Get that ugly-ass ball up out of here. Got a knot on it and shit. So we asked the chat, and this was supposed to be the Canadians in the chat, are you salty, eat it, and play for Team Canada? 66% said no. But a bunch of Americans in the chat said they you salty eat it and play for team canada uh 66 said no but a bunch of americans in the chat said they not like us the revolving thing but let's move on to mostly fans presented by underdog fantasy if you have not i love i listen i love our chat

the reason i love our chat is because they understand the asshole every day. They have mastered it. Be honest. We have not conformed to the 2024 rules. As long as Underdog Fantasy is cutting this check, we will live life

differently on this show, but that's why you guys love the program. And to support us, go ahead and download the app. Use promo code GIL to get $250 in bonus cash and a special pick-em. So our first question is from underdog user Chapo Defino. He said, question for Cheryl. What was it like guest

starring on that episode of Martin? She's laughing at me. I mean, it was fun. I was, it was fun. I was always a huge Martin fan. That probably was one of the first TV shows we did in 96 for the Olympic team. It was hard for me because I laughed the entire time when I was supposed to be somewhat serious. And Cole licking me all in my ear. Yeah, that was kind of different.

That was a little different. It was cool, though. It was fun. It's sitting here still getting residuals from that show. Oh, you still get the residuals? Oh, isn't that beautiful? It is like that. I bet it's...

I got like a $10 check in the mail the other day. See, those are tuckers. I was like, can you just save it until it gets to like $100 or something, you know? But it was fun. You waste more energy depositing it then. Yes, yes. It was fun.

Your checks are beautiful. And then I got a quick question. What? I don't like your questions. Did you get a game ball from Mark? No. No. Mark got one.

Can... That team as... Like, I'm looking at this photo, right? And then you know how you try to think, like, today, who can mimic this

and it still be that powerful? Right? Mm-hmm. Y'all appearance on that episode was, like, a very powerful thing for women's basketball. It was.

How do you do... That's why I said I bought the jersey because of that, because I was a Martin fan. So we sitting there laughing, giggling, and made us go buy the USA women's jersey. No doubt. Because no one really was paying

attention to women's basketball like that. And I don't even know if they really did when we were playing, but everybody talks about that Martin episode. Because I'm trying to think, like, 96 was... Was that the last... You seen your jersey,

that USA jersey, in them streets? Uh-huh. Right? Uh-huh. What? Have we seen them since? In the USA... You're saying any or ours?

As much as yours was, have we seen the USA women's jerseys in the streets like we did then? I don't think so. Well, we need to. That's what I'm saying. This reminded me, because when you mentioned, I'm like, wait, back then, that was a very, very big move. Why haven't they done that now? Because I know what happened when I watched the episode.

Oh, shit, I need to go get the jersey. Yeah. Let me lick her on the arm. Which jersey did you get? Which jersey did you get? Ooh. I had two. Whose were get? I had two. Whose were they?

I had five and six. Do you know who five was? Dawn. Dawn. Five. No, I had six. Just get it right. Get the number right.

I had six because Penny Hardaway had six. So I had six and I don't... I don't know who was six. I don't think that person was famous. I mean, she was famous. I don't know who six was. Oh, Ruthie. Who's Ruth. I mean, she was famous, but... I don't know who six was. Oh, Ruthie. Who's Ruthie?

What's her name? Last name. Bolton? No. I think Ruthie was six. Uh-huh. 11. Donald's five.

Ruthie was six. 11. You should have got seven. Seven was you. Yeah. That should have been the first one. That's what I said. You didn't say seven, so you can't say it now.

Hold on. I'm pulling it up. That's not wise said. You didn't say seven, so you can't say it now. Hold on. Pulling it up. That's not working. I think Brent. A little slow Wi-Fi. Yeah. Who? Ruthie Bolton.

The six. Big strong. Yeah, I remember Bolton on the back of my jersey. For everyone else on the couch, if you could guest star in any show ever, what would it be? That was Chapo Dufino's second part of the question. Like TV sitcom? Oh, Sanford and Son. Yeah.

I could see you on Sanford and Son, too. What? Kidding. I could. Fucking Sanford and Son. Yeah. Rashad, how about your show? Like any show or comedy?

Anything. Anything. No, go ahead. I'm in Living Color. Great show. I'm going to Living Color. Okay. It can be what you want.

How we don't play that? That just, that'd be fun. You thinking over there? That's on me? Yes, Rashad. Oh, Power. Okay. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I can see, for sure. Oh, power. Okay. Yeah, I can see that.

Yeah, I can see. For sure. I can so see that. Sure, for sure. Me and Ghost would be good friends. I can so see that. All right,

let's keep moving. Wait, who did you get? I did mine. Oh, you said if it wasn't Martin? If it wasn't Martin. Um, damn. Um. Oh, you said if it wasn't Martin? If it wasn't Martin. Um, damn. Real Housewives.

Okay. One of them. I don't know which one. All right. Shut up. Real Housewives. I mean, we can go Real Housewives of Houston. We can make that a reality.

No, just one of them. All right. Want some water going in your face? We can get you on the tube now. No, no, no, just one. No, just one of them. Want some water thrown in your face? We can get you on the tube now. No, no, no, just one of them. Yeah, we can get you. But, yeah, but my role would be different. It wouldn't be like what they do right now.

That's what they tell you. That's what they all say. That's what they tell you. They tell you for the camera. So you get that so, yeah, soup spin. Ah! Okay. Yeah, that's exactly how they do it.

That's exactly how they do it, too. Y'all know I can't swim. Just do some water in my face. You said NK. NK. Let's move on to our next question from underdog user Daddy MC. Canyon, what's some advice you can give Gil and us on how to maintain a good, healthy marriage? What's the difference between being a boyfriend,

husband, and a girlfriend, wife? Wow. Oh, that's good. Give Gil and the rest of our chat. I'm sure a lot of them are blueless right now. That's good. That's shit. Let's hear it.

Oh, shit. I had to go to therapy to learn it. God damn it. Okay, well, you learned from that, so I mean, you're saving me money. Go to therapy, God damn it. You got to learn everything about somebody, man. Oh, you got to listen to them. Good, you got to listen.

Communicate. Listen to the woman. You got to be able to listen. You do have to be able to listen, but you also got to be able to communicate. Yeah, but the first part of that communication is listening. Right? Huh? Yeah, yeah.

See? Like communicate. Like listen without responding. Not to just like I tell these fucking dicks on the couch all the time. Yeah. You motherfuckers listen just to respond. No doubt. Right?

And I was told that. No doubt. You listen just to respond. Now, shut the fuck up. And she used to tell me all the time, right, in therapy, she used to tell me, can you know what? You're 100% correct if you want to be single.

Right? you know what, you're 100% correct. If you want to be single. My thought process is one on spot on. Why you scratching your head? If you want to be single. If you want to be like me. But the fact that you're not, you got to change the way you think. So some of this shit, yeah, but some of this shit is absolutely-

It's not a bad thing, you know how we listen and then we don't say nothing? But you don't. No, we don't have an opinion. And then like, so you're not going to say nothing? But you have an opinion about everything else, though. No, no, but you're not going to say nothing? That's your feelings.

I don't know how you... That's your feelings. You feel a certain type of way. I didn't know I was supposed to... Why are we at fault for being uninterested in uninterested shit? It's uninteresting to fucking... If it's uninterested, I just don. It's uninteresting to fucking, like if it's uninterested,

I just don't feel obligated to engage in uninteresting shit. It's uninteresting. That's a single man. Take that shit over there. That's why you're single. Could you go in the other room? That's why you're single. Ain't there six rooms in here?

Yeah, that sounds good. There's fucking six rooms. Go to the other room, okay? I see you every day. Guess what? Every day. Come ask me the same question. Guess what's going to happen?

Every day. Okay, guess what's going to happen? This ain't a wedding ring. It's a supper ring. I'm supper ring here. You're going to be the one to get up and go to the other room, and guess what she's going to do? Guess what?

You're going to end up being the one to walk out the room, and guess what she's going to do? Follow me? Come to your ass. Right in the other room where your ass at. And guess you gonna go to another room and guess where she gonna go? And then my, exactly what you got there.

She gonna follow me, guess where we going next? You know what I'm saying? To the upper room. Nah, it's just like, nah, just being able to communicate man, in a positive way because a lot of, never saw it growing up, never knew what a positive way because a lot of, never saw it growing up, never knew what a positive relationship was.

Growing up, never seen it, never was a part of it, never had it, so didn't know what it looked like. So when it presented itself, I tried to do everything to sabotage it. No, I did everything in my power. Wow. Trust me. I did everything in my power to sabotage it,. I did everything in my power to sabotage you, but.

No, just being able to communicate, man. Just being able to sit there and be a man and stew in and then listen to your faults. Takes, yeah. Trust me, Jack. Like I know what you're saying. I listen, you know what I mean? But you're listening to the wrong person.

No, I'm not. You know what, you know what, you know what it mean? You're listening to the wrong person. No, I'm not. You know what? You know what it was? What are you talking about? I had a conversation I had was this. I agree with some. Listen, we listen. I send you stuff all the time, though, right? But I send you stuff all the time, right?

So my way of thinking is yes, but I'm not single, so I have to... I get it. But you know, it ain't wrong, though. No, but it's... It ain't wrong, though. But it just, like I said, it was learned...

It was wrong for the relationship. It was learned for me to communicate because I was horrible at it. Like, I treated it all like happiness, right? So it was like... I was talking to a therapist and he was like, so any relationship? So there was like, I was talking to a therapist, and he was like, so in a relationship, and I was like, well, in a relationship,

we can get in bickering. You know, relationships, you have disagreements, and you fight and have ups and downs. When I'm single, I don't have that problem because I'm not going to don't have that problem. Because I'm not going to do anything to make myself upset, right? The only thing that changes my mood is the other person

because they're disappointed in something I didn't do. I didn't clean something or whatever. So something I didn't do, they are unhappy with, so now my mood gets affected because now I'm... You're disappointed. I'm disappointed, right? I don't do that because now I'm... You're disappointed. I'm disappointed, right? I don't do that

shit when I'm on the couch by my damn self. So it's all happy moods. So when you say, why you keep running from the relationship? Because I want to be happy. This five hours of TV was amazing. So I'm finna give you this, right?

So you're looking for happiness, right? Happiness is a feeling. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So happiness changes. You're sad, you're happy, somebody says something hurt your feeling, so you should remove, like, so this. Now keep going.

Yeah, I'm going to be somebody that I'm like, I'm happy when I'm doing this every day. I'm, yeah. See, I haven't changed that, right? I'm not looking for happiness, I'm looking for peace. There it go. There it go. Right?

I'm looking for peace. Peace is not an emotion, it's the state of being. When the most, when have they been peaceful? So that's why. Who's this bitch? Oh, yeah. So that's why, yeah. Pizza Hut number two. I'm not even gonna lie.

She get here fast. Hey, that's fast delivery. That's fast delivery, that's the fast delivery girl. That's to get here fast. Just don't, like by any stretch of the- Just to get here fast. It wasn't easy, but it was a transition, right? But like, so you got to, like I said,

sit there and have somebody tell you what your faults are and you the stew in it, right? Because I made a lot of uncomfortable beds that I had to lie in, right? So I had to get to that, right? But being, like, I was thinking about, like, my emotion was always fucking here with, and I'm like, man, like, it ain't that. Like, I'm going to be happy I'm like mad like it ain't that like this I'm gonna be happy like no, I think that what it what is it? What is it? What is it? I'm like so you start to

Listen to different shit fucking audiobooks and different things to try to figure out what who you are man Basically in your relationship and I started to find that shit all but looking for peace Like looking for like and that's like cuz happiness and sad that shit is dog, but looking for peace. Like, looking for, like, and that's, like, because happiness and sadness, that shit is, like, you're sad when somebody pass away. You're happy when somebody get married or a child is married. Can she be your peace? Right?

Can she be your peace? That's what you... Hell no! Start here, though. You got it, you know what I'm saying? No, sorry, little here. Like a man with no peace. Conflicting messages.
