After getting snubbed and calling out Team USA, Grant Hill says Jalen Brown is still a candidate for the 2028 Olympic team.
But should he even want to play on that squad?
Wimby has been impressive
for France in his first Olympics,
helping lead them to the gold medal game,
but how close is Wimby to becoming
a megastar?
And legendary Serbian national team
coach says that this Team USA
squad is the best ever.
Stop. But are they really better than the Dream Team, Cheryl?
I think you've already let it be known how you feel.
Oh, my bad.
Okay, I'm just saying.

So we're going to get into this a little bit different.
Paris is known as the city of love,
and love was in the air on Tuesday
for French steeplechaser Alice Fennel.
So after setting a European record
with a time of 8 minutes 58 seconds
in the 3,000-meter steeplechase
and finishing in fourth place in the event,
Finau celebrated by dropping down on one knee
and proposing to her longtime boyfriend.
Oh.
Yeah.
So Finau proposed with an Olympic pin
instead of...
I already hear y'all.
I already hear, you know, the rumblings.
So, after popping the question, Fennel explained why she went the non-traditional route to get wifed up, saying,
I told myself that if I ran under nine minutes, knowing that nine is my lucky number and that we've been together for nine years, then I would propose.
I don't like doing things like everyone else.
Since he hadn't done it yet, I told myself that maybe
it was up to me to do it.
Wow.
So I gave a pin
that I ran with
to my boyfriend.
On it, it says,
love is in Paris.
So,
we're going to start with
these beautiful women
here on this couch.
No.
We'll go with Cheryl first.
Hell no.
Hell no.
Cheryl, what's your reaction
to French people
chasing Alice Renaud proposing to her boyfriend
at the Olympics?
I'm all for being different and being you and doing you,
but no.
And then to say, because he hadn't done it yet,
so I just took the initiative to be the one to do it.
No. Put him on blast. New Year's going the initiative to be the one to do it. No.
But you put him on blast.
Nugget's going to say, yeah, he not going to do it
in front of the home country.
Did he accept?
He did accept.
What else are we going to do?
Well, that's what I'm saying.
She kind of put him in a sticky situation.
She jammed him up.
She kind of jammed him up, which that's a bad look too.
It isn't, of course.
Why?
Because she clearly wants me.
How do we get this to you?
She clearly wants me.
Come on.
She clearly wants me.
Clearly. She's been waiting nine years.
Clearly.
She's nontraditional, clearly.
She does things her own way.
Obviously, traditional women don't like nontraditional shit.
Right?
They don't like nonttraditional shit. Right?
They don't like non-traditional shit.
And that's why the traditional women, mostly right now, are all by themselves traditional as hell.
You're not going to marry me.
You're going to marry me in front of all these people after I just broke some records.
And he couldn't say no because he wasn't in an elevator.
He can't.
Oh.
Pew.
Pew.
Pew.
Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. he can't oh I mean if she said no but the whole world is watching
like he wasn't gonna be
like nah
we've seen some women say no in front of
some women say no
yeah he not gonna say no period
no he's not gonna say no in front of
the entire world I love love but that's okay what's the problem Yeah, but yeah, he not gonna say no period. No, they know
Okay, okay, what's the problem? Okay, then they don't have no control. I'm saying they don't have no power You've waited for him to do it. He has it because one
The woman's timetable is probably a lot different than his and it is right
So if she's like, well, he's not gonna do it, I'ma do it. What's the difference?
It's being done. You're engaged. So, why
didn't she do it before? She had to put a
time... But we don't know what her time
is, but what I'm saying is, she said, fuck it,
I'm done waiting. Do you want to marry
me? Okay, yeah. But in that moment,
this is your moment, and she
gave it away to that man. But it's
her moment. But it's been her moment.
He don't want it. He didn't want it.
He does.
She wanted it.
He didn't.
I need an update in a few weeks.
But what I'm saying is if it's a timetable, like when someone wants to be married, it's
one person's timetable.
Yes.
Not the other.
Yes.
You're trying to convince him to speed up whatever math he has in his head.
You have to speed him to speed up whatever whatever math he has in his head you have to speed him up right so if you don't want to marry someone and she proposes to you and on this stage
you're going to say yes even though you don't want to marry her at that moment it's not that we don't
want to it's just it's not it's not on our it's not we want it on our time okay but then now it's
now it's on your time because she proposed to you yeah it's on our time now it's on our time it's on your time because she proposed to you? Yeah. It's on our time. Now it's on our time. It's because it's like, well, you want me.
You want me now.
You want me.
We're not chasing you now.
Y'all used to us chasing y'all.
No, what I'm saying is, have you ever actually asked a man?
Now you get the anxiety of sitting around like,
did he really want to?
Did he say, is he going to say yes?
No.
Is it going to be all that shit?
No, I mean, have you ever asked a man why he takes so long?
Because women, when you're planning when you when you're planning something i have when you're planning something
it has nothing to do with the man himself no right you don't know his financial status you don't know
what he has you don't know what's going on with him personally so when you're saying we i need to
be married in the boom boom boom he now has to calculate all this shit. So now he's trying to figure out how
to prolong it so he's financially...
Nine years? Yeah, however long
it takes.
He has to buy the ring.
Remember,
for most athletes,
we don't know, what sport does he play?
I think he's just a boo.
Oh, he's just a boo. So he has to finance
his people chaser. He's literally just a boy.
He has to buy the ring. What makes it even more special, right? He's just a man. He has to finance the steeplechaser. He's literally just a boy. No, so he has to buy the ring.
What makes it even more special, right?
He's just a boy.
Cinderella.
What I'm saying, he has to buy the ring.
He has to do the wedding.
Cinderfell.
Because obviously when you are an athlete or you have money,
whoever your father is is non-invalid no more.
It's not like we get to go on his dollar.
Remember, that's traditional.
I marry you, your father pay for it. We don't get to go on his dollar. Remember, that's traditional. Right. I marry you, your father pay for it.
We don't get to go on my
pocketbook. So now, since that
has gone out of the window, the male
has to pay. So now, the financial
burden is really a thing for
most guys. A lot of guys.
But that is not...
It has nothing with a guy losing
something. It's usually the financial
part of it. No, it has a lot to do with a guy losing something.
No.
Because we, no.
Because I don't know if y'all know that.
What if you're perfectly financially stable,
just didn't want to marry her for nine years?
But you just said this the other day.
You don't know this man.
Maybe she wasn't a wife for nine years.
No.
But now all of a sudden she is.
You said this the other day.
Maybe?
You said it.
Because she had to.
I don't know.
I was ready to give up the other 30. Braver. Right or wrong. No, I said that. But I'm joking. Maybe she had
But there are a lot of men who feel that way no They really don't because no, you know cuz we know most women come after us after we get married anyway, so
It kicks in like what?
And and and we can just go down the...
It was like, men aren't afraid of giving up something,
but they are.
And I said, he just said it to the pants.
No, we're not.
No, I know we're not.
We're not?
What do you mean?
Afraid of giving up what?
You know, we've given...
The other 30.
The other 30, girl.
You took everything I got.
I got nothing left to give you.
According to this one, I don't know if I'm ready to give up the other 30. Yeah, that's just we just say that but
That's called dignity giving up the dignity
Worst case scenario we can just go to the strip.
Right? It's called a hooker strip.
We can just...
If we really wanted, we can pay $45 for it, right?
So we're not afraid of...
I hope you're not.
I know, cause y'all don't have that.
They don't.
Y'all don't have that luxury.
They don't.
You have no idea.
Y'all don't have that.
Go into the strip.
Go into the strip.
And then a nigga walk up to the door.
What do they call it?
And then a nigga walk up to the car.
You don't got a bunch of niggas walking in the car. Hey, how walking up to the car being like,
yo, got a bunch of niggas
walking to the car.
Hey, how you doing?
What's going on?
You looking for a good time?
$30, $30, $30.
$30, $30.
$30, $30.
Y'all don't have that luxury.
We do, so I can get married.
You're absolutely right.
Lose all these girls
and just go down to the...
You're absolutely right.
Not that I would utilize that,
but we don't have that.
You would not utilize this.
It's usually the money...
It's usually the money factor
for the average man.
It's usually the...
For the average man,
it's usually money
that's really...
Do we know this man?
Is he an average man?
Do we know?
He's French, so I don't know.
He could be a whole prince
or something.
He's not an average chick,
though, right? No, he's not. that's not an average chick, though, right?
He's got a chick that's not an average chick, so
he's got to be an above average guy.
Obviously, she's more of a
let's get it done. Let's get it done.
I'm marrying you.
So if he's not ready...
Yeah, you need an aggressive woman.
She just put him in a very
uncomfortable position. No.
In front of the world.
She has to...
She has to wait on him now.
When is it...
What do you mean?
Like a fiance.
Like when you're a fiance, y'all don't get married until y'all agree to get married.
Y'all go through down the aisle and all that shit.
So this is like the first step...
You can break off, right?
So this is like the first step to the next step.
To the next step, yeah.
So like the pre-proposal proposal.
Yeah.
That's what she did.
Yeah. Because she gave him a pin. She didn't give him a ring. She the pre-proposal proposal. Yeah. That's what she did, because she gave him a pin.
She let him know,
she let him know I'm this serious.
Yeah.
Boom.
But it was, I think the pin she wore.
That was the ultimatum.
Go get the ring now, nigga.
Boom.
That was the ultimatum,
so let's go.
That was it.
That's what I'm thinking.
That's what it is right there.
Go get the ring.
It is a pin.
Side six on.
She's saying,
in case you were wondering
if I was ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
Yeah.
And you ain't got no choice now.
And now the world knows it.
What?
So don't be in the middle.
Now, ball's in your court.
Now I can, you know.
Because you can see she's been thinking about it.
She's like, if I go under nine, I'm going to go ahead and let it go.
And she was out there Zooming.
She wasn't thinking about it.
She wasn't thinking about it.
She's running for her man.
Running for love.
He got a couple conversations with the side chick.
He wasn't thinking about it.
He got to call the side chick.
He got to call the side chick.
He got to be like, now listen.
Now listen.
Now listen now. She ran her fastest. I'm still going to run. I'm still going to run. He got a call to side chick. There you are. He got a call to side chick. He got to be like, listen, now listen.
Now listen now.
She ran her fastest.
I'm still going to pay the rent.
I'm still going to pay the rent now.
I'm still going to pay the rent now.
You just got to understand.
This is live.

Oh, she didn't even get a medal?
But she got more than a medal.
She got a.
Well, we hope.
I hope.
Oh, here we go.
I hope she did.
See, this is what.
You know what? I don't even want to throw no dirt on her, man. But look. You got the bronze, man. Oh, here we go. See, this is what... You know what?
I don't even want to throw no dirt on him, man.
But look, you got the bronze, man.
Congratulations, man.
You don't need to go out in a wheelchair
like something happened.
Who?
Oh, Noah?
He's on a wheelchair?
It's not funny.
He dehydrated, Gil.
No, the thing is,
he usually runs the 200, right?
He added the 100.
Well, he won the 100 and 200
at the World Cup last year.
That shit is not easy. I know, I know, but... What added the 100. Well, he won the 100 and 200 at the World Cup last year. That shit is not easy.
I know, I know.
But like, he...
Because Usain Bolt made it look so easy,
I think everyone's like, oh, he gonna get it.
Well, Usain Bolt was doing it eating chicken nuggets.
Man!
No, but why didn't everybody else roll out with it?
Yeah, that's what I'm like.
Come on, man.
We all race this motherfucker, man.
Just don't...
He was tired.
He wasn't feeling well.
Yeah, don't do that. Don't do that. You was feeling well when you got that motherfucking gold, man. Just don't... He was tired. He wasn't feeling well. Yeah, don't do that.
Don't do that.
You was feeling well
when you got that motherfucking gold.
He said he wasn't feeling well.
You got bronze, man.
Listen.
I know he's got a medal.
That's what he's saying.
I don't...
No, not the way he was celebrating.
Not in the Olympics.
You got...
Listen, you got gold.
It's not gold.
It's bronze.
Gold.
That's another...
That's another...
You place.
Medal for us. You place. You got it. There's no embarrassment here
So you don't need to fake like you don't need to carry on like this a face. How do you know?
He's faking what if something's real fuck
Forget the internet who cares what they say
You got a medal, but something could really be wrong with him though
So so we get to use that's why he won bronze cuz something's wrong with him though. So, so, so we get to use that's why he won bronze? Because something's wrong with him?
No, I'm not talking about the bronze.
But that's what it is.
But he's saying the fact that he's cart, they had to cart him off, something could
be wrong.
I just know if he got gold, he ain't sitting in no wheelchair.
Yeah, of course.
And that's, that's...
Feeling well.
Right?
Fuck it.
But hey, bronze is still...
So he has issues, he has asthma, he has a bunch of stuff going on, like he said after
he won the 100 meters.
You can't do that!
Huh? Did your asthma, did the asthma pump not kick in when your ass won gold? asthma he has a bunch of stuff going on good like he said after you can't do that huh did you ask
but did the asthma pump not kick in when you asked one goal you want to ask for water like come on
cool i i didn't get oh no i didn't get my gold now i need to don't do that that just doesn't
that looks bad he was breathing look at his shirt you know, man tired. He been out here getting it.
What I'm saying is it doesn't look good.
Now because you have the bronze and you're doing this at the end, people get to question,
were you not healthy when you ran your race?
Don't take away from the other dudes, dawg.
He has asthma.
And another American.
He has asthma.
As Americans, we won.
He has depression. We won silver and bronze.'re like, as Americans, we want anxiety.
We want silver and bronze.
It creates a lot of that.
Yeah, for sure.
We want silver and bronze.
Cool.
OK, Dr. Rashad.
I'm just saying, anxiety creates that.
He's out here working.
But that's why I said there's nothing to be ashamed of.
So he just said that two days ago he was diagnosed with COVID.
Some people might have asthma.
They just don't work out enough.
What'd you say?
I'm just saying.
They just said he was diagnosed with COVID two days ago.
That might be it then.
Well.
That's not funny, but what?
COVID leaves you empty like that.
It does.
COVID is running rampant right now.
Everybody wash your hands.
You see how it's already giving the excuses for why
he goes bruh like that?
Nobody else got COVID.
Why you running?
Steve got COVID.
But they're saying it was his choice to run.

What is this one?
He's back healthy, I'm done.
Well, let's keep this moving.
Let's get into some basketball.
Team USA Women's Squad was in action on Wednesday,
taking on Nigeria in the quarterfinals.
For Nigeria, this game was a historic moment
as the Tigers became the first African team,
men's or women's, to reach the knockout stage of the Olympics.
Moment didn't last long, though,
as Team USA cruised to the easy win
for their record 59th straight win in Olympic competition.
So, Aces star Jackie Young replaced Diana Taurasi in the starting lineup,
finished the game with 15 points.
Asia Wilson led the squad with 20 points and 11 rebounds,
setting a new U.S. Olympic women's record with her 420-10 game.
And Stewie added 13 and 6 rebounds.
So, now Team USA will face Australia in the semi-finals
on Friday so what's your reaction to this Team USA squad getting one step closer to getting the gold
medal well I know the prize here no I'm so we're right where we're supposed to be but I will say
this I don't know if I would say they cruised to a victory over Nigeria.
I mean, they were up at 30 at one point.
I think they cut it to 13 in the fourth quarter.
They ended up...
Yeah, but they only ended up winning by 14.
Okay.
It's...
I'm just saying.
Like, that's got to be a...
I mean, when you get up that big, that early...
I know, because she's so used to winning by 50.
Yes. Right. Yes, right.
No, but I'm saying,
when someone asked the question the other day,
like, the 96 team and this team, like...
Right, belt pass, 40 minutes.
We would have beaten them by more than 14 points.
So if you get a lead like that,
you got to keep the lead.
Don't give them any confidence and be like,
oh, we can play with this team,
because you really can't.
But, yeah, like, I was happy for Nigeria when they won,
but absolutely got exactly what we thought was gonna happen,
and we need to take care of business against Australia,
which I think will be a good game, and, you know.
My teammate plays for Australia.
Uh-oh.
So, I'm not gonna cheer for them,
but I'll cheer for her.
But I think it's gonna be a better game than Nigeria.
What did you say?
My teammate plays for Australia.
Say that again?
So I'm going to cheer for my teammate,
but I'm not cheering for Australia.
OK.
OK.
Oh, OK.
Steph.
Steph Talbot, guys.
Team Australia.
You've got to support your teammates.
That's fair.
Not.
I know, Mr. Patriotic over there.
Not right now.
I'm cheering for my teammate.
Are you also cheering for USA?
Of course.
I don't want them to beat USA.
You want your teammates to do well.
If they lost for 40 and they lose, I'm happy with that.
That's reasonable.
Hey, listen, Kobe set the standard.
You see Paul Gasol over there?
Fuck him. Here we
go. We're not teammates right now.
We're not teammates right now. Uh-huh. His teammates
is he's with them. Well, I'm not on the court,
so I can cheer for whoever I want. Facts.
Uh-uh. That was a good one.
That was a good one. Facts.
You got me. You got me.
You got me there. So let's talk
Asia Wilson just a little bit. So how
impressive has Asia Wilson been in this Olympics
and also this season in the W so far?
On pace to potentially win another MVP.
And will likely win the MVP.
This is the first time y'all...
I know, first time ever.
In the same building.
First time we've had a song together.
You want me to switch?
You come over here?
Be girls versus...
No.
Oh, no?
No, because she can get you from that way
and you could get you from this way.
Okay.
No.
All right.
No, I'll let Lexi go
because she, you know,
she sees Asia.
Oh, yeah.
She's been dominant.
I mean, I think she took last year personally
that little fourth place vote
that she got in MVP.
So, I mean, this season
is absolutely personal for her.
Which is stupid.
And we've been seeing it all season long.
But she's been doing this for years and years and years.
So I think the most impressive thing about Asia is her consistency.
And she gets better every year.
She adds a little bit something new every season.
And that's not easy to do, especially with how talented the entire league is.
She always finds a way to step up her game.
So she's just been super impressive, for sure.
I just think it's stupid.
Whoever gave her a fourth place last year.
Reveal yourself.
Like, how many of you haven't found out?
I know who it is.
I think I know who it was, but like.
I think everybody knows.
Like, who does that?
What?
Me and him, like,.
Audacity.
Like, that's just so disrespectful,
whoever that person was.
So she got to be unanimous?
She got to be unanimous?
What?
Her MVP?
No, but fourth place?
Someone gave her
a fourth place vote.
So everybody's like,
who was that one person
that gave her a fourth place vote?
That's exactly what it was.
I don't fuck with your game vote.
No.
Still, that too.
I don't fuck with you vote. That was a, I don't fuck with your game vote. No. Still, that too. That was a I don't fuck with you vote.
That was a I don't fuck with you, I don't fuck with South Carolina.
Yeah, come on now.
That's just like these two MVPs.
Who was the MVP this year?
Stewie.
No, no, no.
What was the man?
2023.
Embiid.
Embiid.
No, no, no.
Jokic.
Jokic and SGA, right?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. And then that's like No, Jokic. Jokic. Jokic and SGA, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
And then that's like somebody giving Jokic a fourth place.
Yeah.
You're lying.
Like, it was a waste of a vote.
Like, you could have actually given it to someone else that, like, to make maybe someone else feel good.
If you were going to waste a fourth place vote, like, don't waste it on the person who voted.
First of all, Austin Reed. It's like, don't waste it on the person who... First of all,
Austin Reed!
It's like, who the fuck?
There were not...
Who voted Austin Reed?
Yes, absolutely.
Like, there were not
three other players
better than her
where you got to give her
a fourth place vote.
Get out of here.
Like, third place votes,
okay, that's...
I fuck with their game
more than your game.
Fourth place was... I hate you.
Who was the top four?
It was Stewie, Asia, AT.
And that was, yeah.
That was it.
That was it.
It was three.
It was like a three-person race.
That was it.
It was really a two-person race, and they threw in a third person.
No, no, no.
It wasn't, no.
It was a three-person race.
It had to be four, because she got fourth. No. No, no. She just. It had to be four because she got fourth.
No.
No, no.
She just got one fourth place.
She just came in second.
Someone just voted fourth.
Someone gave her a fourth place vote just because.
She came in third.
Excuse me.
Oh, yeah, after 18.
Yeah, she came in third.
She came in third.
So, somebody just finished in fourth.
Yeah, so.
Collier, that's what I was doing.
Yeah, so somebody voted Collier in front of her, probably.
No, Collier didn't get any first place votes.
She didn't get no first or second.
So, who got no first place votes?
She might have had a third place vote.
Somebody got first, second, and third.
The voting last week was crazy because, like, it was like one of them got, like, all the first place,
and one of them got, like, all the third place.
And then it was, like, it was, like, weird.
The voting was very odd.
You can't even find out who got that.
But she got one.
That's a thing.
Who are you?
I think whoever that person was, they gave, like, Sabrina a third place vote.
Or, like, Kourtney a third place vote.
And then they gave Asia a fourth place vote.
Yeah, so Chelsea Gray got one third place vote in the MVP race.
It was just odd.
Like, it just was crazy.
Just the fourth place vote.
And they just won't come out and say what they said.
Yeah.
So, to your point, Asia took that shit personally.
And this year, she's...
And she even said in her interview, she was like,
well, I guess I gotta just prove to them
that I'm not a fourth place vote.
Yeah.
And she has been...
Yeah, she's been taking care of business.
Killing. Yeah. So, Cheryl been... Yeah, she's been taking care of business. Killing.
Yeah.
So, Cheryl, like you said,
your squad's dominated through those Olympics.
14-point win, that's...
That ain't enough?
Listen, a win is a win.
I get that.
But...
Nah.
You gotta...
Nah.
All right.
We expecting a blowout next game, then?
They gotta do work, but, you know,
they'll put themselves in medal contention,
obviously trying to get that A straight Olympic gold medal.
Let's move over to the men's side.
So we had France and Germany in the semis earlier today.
And we gotta talk a little bit about Wimby.
So at only 20 years old,
Wimby's been impressive for the French squad
in his first Olympics.
He's leading the team in points, rebounds, assists, and blocks.
Been a little slow in the knockout stage, though.
He had 7 points, 12 rebounds, 3 steals, and a huge block on Dylan Brooks late in the fourth quarter
to help seal the win over Cannon in the quarterfinals.
And despite an off-shooting night Thursday in France, a semifinals win against Germany,
he impacted the game in other ways.
11.7 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks.
And now France will medal in their second straight Olympics
after taking silver in Tokyo
with a likely showdown against Team USA
in the gold medal game, that Team USA-Serbia game
about to start shortly.
But just looking at what this Olympics means
for Wimby and his overall development,
how important will these Olympics be
for Wimby's overall growth
wait what i think i think this has just been fun fun time for wimby he like looks way more relaxed
i mean he hasn't been dominant obviously but i mean he's playing he's playing at home he's being
he's playing solid like obviously everyone thinks the USA is going to win. So there's not a high expectation for France.
So everything he does, to me, is extra.
I think the more he got approved to y'all, the more in his first year.
What?
Because you were to Howard D's Olympics.
The Olympics is basically over.
So he's done great.
It's been a great experience for him.
He's done, as a young dude, he's done.
He got them to the gold medal game. He got them to the gold medal chance. I mean, he's done great. It's been a great experience for him. He's done, as a young dude, he's done... He got them to the gold medal game. He got them to the gold medal
chance. I mean, he's done great.
With the team he had. Expectations for him.
So aside from his pro career in France,
obviously Spurs didn't make the playoffs this season, but this is kind of
like his first real playoff
like experience playing in a
do or die situation.
He's unbothered, man. He's unbothered.
He's ready for the moment. He's different, bro. He's unbothered, man. He's unbothered. He's ready for the moment.
He different, bro.
He's a different alien.
He ain't one of those young guys
that's in the light
trying to figure out
what the fuck is going on.
He not that.
And even if he not dominating now,
it's because the Euro
international ball
is not used to
dominant numbers like that.
They used to play a team ball.
He dominated when he was
playing his French team
before he got drafted. Yeah, but it wasn't team ball. He dominated when he was playing his French team before he got drafted.
Yeah, but it wasn't crazy numbers.
He gonna dominate just because he know how to play the game.
And that's just what I see.
And it's gonna be a different game out there for them.
Everybody gonna think it's gonna be one way,
but Wimby's gonna show them,
y'all seen me earlier.
What y'all think? Is something different changed?
Something changed? I'm still me.
So he was only four for 17 in the game.
Yeah, yeah.
It was a tough shooting night, but late in the fourth quarter,
I believe his squad was up two.
He had two free throws, hit one of them, and they went on to win by four.
I mean, it was a good, listen, it's a good silver for them.
It's a good silver for them It's a good silver for them
They can beat the fuck no, we'll be hell no. Oh, not even close. It will be not even close
They have trouble they have trouble. They don't have a go to that. Did you say they will be no not even wait who we we
No, he don't watch. He don't watch a
Save see vodka who say who's a save? Ah, we we will be who? No, he don't watch the game. Who's that?
That feels anti-American.
Anti-American?
No, that's just international.
No, you're being anti.
I'm being anti.
They don't have a...
Their go-to guy is Wimby trying to take
somebody off the dribble from the top of the game.
And none of the niggas on that team can guard
Wimby.
Most of their wings can't even dribble the ball.
That's fine. It's a team game.
So nobody in the NBA
can guard him either.
And they look...
He said no one on the U.S. can guard Wimby.
How is it different he's gonna do
cause if we get the game
close at all
it says a lot
we is crazy
you're not from France
yes I am
that's why I'm saying we
we
he's not watching
he's not watching the game
they can't
they can't dribble
they can't bring the ball
up the court
their guards is not
they can't handle
pressure like that
they don't have a
pick and roll system
so it's basically try to find Wimby and then now Wimby's gonna go into his bag and try to do Their guards is not, they can't handle pressure like that. They don't have a pick and roll system.
So it's basically try to find Wimby and then now Wimby's going to go into his bag and try to do it.
Other than that, they don't have anybody that has, we're going to give you the ball.
You need to give us buckets.
They don't have that on friends.
That's the problem.
That's why he struggled today.
You keep him on the outside and say, all right, make a basket. And he. Yeah, I think one frame from the three-point line, if I'm not mistaken.
We got a chance.
Everyone got a chance.
Say it again?
No.
Everyone got a chance.
No, no, no.
The chance is...
Everyone has a chance, right?
I mean, you don't go...
Exactly.
Score is 0-0.
You have a chance until you know.
I step on the floor, and we got a chance until we don't.
Exactly.
Sometimes you have a chance for half the game. Sometimes you have a chance for half the game.
Sometimes you have a chance for 30 seconds.
Last three minutes.
Sometimes if you stay close enough in the game, you might just win.
They're not going to win.
They did everything in their power to lose that game today.
They couldn't make no plays.
South Sudan beat them, boys.
They could not make no plays.
Beat who?
The USA.
Well, they did.
They beat them.
The game, when they lost, they lost that USA. Well, they did. They beat them. The game, what they lost,
hey, listen,
they lost that game
and they know it.
They know it.
But they didn't.
But there's just no mark on there.
But they didn't, though.
There's no mark on the,
there's no asterisk,
nothing there.
They lost the practice game?
But that game,
they lost that game
in front of the world.
A practice game?
Who lost the game?
Wait, didn't they win?
No, no, no, they lost.
Rashad, they won by one point
on LeBron James.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but they lost lost. Rashad, they won by one point on LeBron James.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But they lost that.
Didn't they win though?
But they lost that game.
What happened to...
No, they won that game.
No, no, no.
What happened?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lex.
I get what he's saying.
I know what you're saying, but they lost.
They lost.
They lost.
What happened to them?
They lost.
Cheryl, they lost.
What happened to them?
They should have called that foul. They should have made them free throws and embarrassed them niggas. But they said, no, no, no, no, no. But that was a practice game.
We paid for this to go the way we want.
What happened to when we put the gloves on?
We paid for this to go the way we want.
But what happened to when we put the gloves on?
We paid for this to go the way we want.
What happened to when we put the gloves on?
But what happened when it really counted?
This is nasty.
What happened when it really mattered?
Nothing.
That thing, that thing that they wanted.
They got their ass beat by the end.
They got enough practice by the end.
They had enough practice by the end to screw it up.
Why don't you want the USA team to win the gold medal?
They had to go in there and just make some American shit.
American shit.
American shit.
Why don't you want our team to win?
Because the bronze on it. Who's our team? What are you talking about? It's the, it's the, it's the, it's the, it's the, it's the, it to win the gold medal? Get it going there. American shit.
Why don't you want our team to win?
Because LeBron's on it.
Who's our team?
What are you talking about?
We live in the United States of America.
I've lived a lot of places.
It's anti.
Where is your passport from?
I got a world passport. No, you don't.
I'll bring it in.
I'll bring it in next episode.
You know, it's a world passport.
I figured it out.
It's anti-LeBron people.
Right?
So what happened is. Every four years is on a team, they decide, fuck his legacy.
Damn.
Forget the rest of the people we like on the team.
We need to make sure if they lose, it's LeBron's fault.
If they win, right?
So they spend more time trying to figure out who's going to beat the USA.
We never thought that when Kobe was on the team.
Kobe did two terms.
Every conversation has been,
who's going to beat USA?
Why?
Whose conversation?
Who's having them conversations?
I'm not having them conversations.
USA is the best team.
Well, we have a score update for you
from the USA-Serbia game.
Okay.
Serbia 25, Team USA 18, first quarter, about three minutes remaining.
Why are we watching this shit?
We are getting it adjusted.
You know, get your cable and your Wi-Fi.
I love her.
Your cable and Wi-Fi.
I love the track girlies.
I do, too.
I love them.
I do, too.
Like, they're my fave.
Them and the gymnasts.
Yeah.
I really enjoyed watching I love them. I do too. Like, they're my fave. Them and the gymnasts. I really enjoyed watching the girlies.
You probably got a whole bunch of American annies like,
who are they gonna lose?
Yeah! Let's stick it to they face!
So is it just the men's team you know?
Yes. Huh?
You didn't have a...
I said that I am well-traveled, okay?
But I just...
I love everybody.
I love all the countries.
I root for everybody.
Is it only the USA men's basketball team
that you don't want to win?
I never said I didn't want them to win.
So you want them to win,
you just don't think they will win?
I'm rooting for France.
Why?
It doesn't mean I don't want U.S. It doesn't mean I don't want U.S. to win. I'm rooting for France. Why? It doesn't mean I don't
want U.S. to win.
If they win,
they win. If they win,
it's cool. By the very
definition of you rooting for France.
I'm not all of them.
No, I just told you
off the top of my head. It's oui-oui.
I'm French kissing. I'm French kissing.
I told y'all this. It's French fries
and French toast. It's
all that.
I'm French, French.
We, we.
We're rather rooting against him
so we can blame him.
We're not rooting against nobody.
Why can't we all just be excited that the USA
is good in so many sports?
That's me. If you're rooting for France,
that means you don't want the US to win. No, it's just
I want France to, you know,
do what they do, you know?
That's me. I'm going for everybody.
I'm going for USA.
That's wearing a USA. Over everybody.
Aesthetic AF for a few weeks.
I'm just saying.
USA.
Right now, I guess I'm a gold medal of what?
Xenophobia?
Oh, God.
Is that what they call it?
Please.
No, you are not.
You are making questionable comments about countries around the world.
Don't put that on yourself, please.
1,000 right now?
No.
Yes.
Find another thing.
U.S. of a A.
I'm sorry.
It's this time of year.
And we whooping ass in metal.
Whooping ass.
We're whooping ass in metal count.
Yeah, we are doing that.
Hey, did y'all see that?
Nah, did y'all see that run?
That run?
Hill, was it Hill?
Quincy, Quincy.
When he wanted to end, my brother told me.
Oh, my God.
Put them jets on.
Boy, it looked like he was about to die around the 300.
Quincy Hall.
Quincy, hey, man, that is an American spirit.
In third.
In third, yeah, there.
You see him?
Guess who's in first?
Us.
An American spirit.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Quincy Hall,
man. That man, they should be writing
about what he did.
They are writing about that, good.
You sure? Yes.
I'm sure.
Full-scale
Olympic coverage.
I love the Olympics.
Well, let's get back to Wimby just for a second.
20 years old, like I said,
offensively, not necessarily dominant,
but just him on the floor doing everything he's doing.
Got to be impressive, right?
Especially the season he had with the Spurs,
now coming into next year is going to be a confidence builder.
It's impressive because he's the most inexperienced player on the team,
but he has so much weight of the country on his shoulders.
And just to see that he's out there being a leader,
taking leadership, like he's on both sides of it,
being a leader, taking leadership from some of the other guys on that roster.
And it is showing, and that's why they are here in the
medal round so we're talking a little bit more when being a second we got to
talk about another issue going on with this French squad so in the quarter
final game go bear benched played less than four minutes three minutes 41
seconds total in the semi-finals game against Germany he played five minutes
and nine seconds five minutes and seven of those come in in the first half
in the second quarter. Played two seconds
in the fourth
quarter. Wow. Yeah, it was a good two seconds
too. He came in for
a free throw and it was an accidental
two seconds. Should have been one second. And they didn't
have a timeout. They didn't have a timeout so his ass got
to stay. How do you play two seconds?
Because
they subbed the man and They didn't have... They subbed the man.
They subbed the man, and they didn't have a timeout.
And when the free throw went in, they couldn't get him out,
so he... two seconds before they fouled.
Oh, wow. Okay.
Does this French love carry into the NBA season?
Wimby's my guy.
Just Wimby? Not Rudy?
Rudy was my guy last year. Last year. So he's not your guy now. Wimby, not Rudy? Rudy was my guy last year.
Last year.
So he's not your guy now.
Wimby's my guy now.
You are a Frenchman over there.
Yeah.
I've got two more new Frenchmen that just came in,
a number one and number two.
I'm just waiting to see who's going to win.
Ali Ressachier and Alex Orr.
My guys are coming in at an alarming rate.
My guys.
So what's your take on Gobert right now?
He's getting older and his time's up.
So that's why he's not playing.
Yeah, and he hurt.
He has a finger injury, but he's playing.
Yeah, but he's playing because the coach is trying to mitigate the fact that
they don't want to really say anything.
Well, he's hurt.
But y'all just said nothing was wrong with Noah with no allows who's hurt. It's still the Olympics
He said he's not that old that that's why he's not playing
We don't feel like they don't need them. They feel like they don't really need them. You be hurt hurt or not hurt
They gonna need on against USA
And he's still ain't gonna play I know
But if he does, you know, he's gonna be effective because they don't like to play against him.
I don't know the answer to this question.
How many NBA guys are on the French team?
Four.
Oh, no, no.
They got the young kids.
What, six?
So, Fournier, Wimby, Gobert.
Biley?
Frank.
Frank.
He's a current kid.
Biley, the kid from our current go to other people Washington
Yeah, who the other kid? Oh, yeah below
Lubez
All of those guys plays oh, yeah. Well the young kid the one at the end. He's not playing
Yeah, he's the young kid. So he's the only one that's not playing but
Never in the history of this sport that a veteran NBA superstar.
Usually the NBA player that goes back to the country, they get all the minutes.
So this is the first time in any type of history we've seen an NBA player being benched.
You got to be a first-time or something.
But I'm just an NBA player, a four-time defensive player being benched. You gotta be a first-time or something. Well, and... But I'm just an NBA player.
A four-time Defensive Player of the Year.
Yes.
The reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
The man who's supposed to be known for his defense...
Yes.
Unplayable.
...as literally the best defender in the world.
Is old.
And he's 32.
And he's done what he's supposed to do.
But he's not old.
And he's done what he's supposed to do.
Not old at all.
Who's older?
Was it Frank?
Who's on the...
There's somebody way older than him that's in there playing. Yeah, he's... That's not.... And he's done what he's supposed to do. Not old at all. Who's older? Was it Frank? Who's on the... There's somebody way older than him that's in there playing.
Yeah, that's not...
On this squad?
Yeah.
LeBron's older than that.
Yeah.
Half the team is older than that.
Yeah.
So Batum has been playing about 31 minutes a game.
He's 36.
Please.
They'd rather play Batum at the four.
Say, nah, we good.
We gonna play...
They've been rolling with a lot of...
First of all, Baton is a
national team
legend.
Let's not get it
fucking twisted.
He's been holding
it down for us
for a long time.
For us?
Yes.
Many clubs.
We've been doing
many you know
what I'm saying?
Many cheers.
My question is
though as an
NBA player
four time
defensive player
of the year
do they just
not need his
defense?
Because it's not the NBA.
Is that why he's not playing? Well, against Canada,
they wanted to go small ball to match Canada's
lineup. Yeah. Didn't need the twin tower.
Well, when you bring them outside the paint,
that defensive
player of the year is gone.
Because they realize what everyone
did in the NBA. Which, exactly. We've said that
all last year.
The funny part is, you know what makes
it weird? They play
zone.
And there's no three seconds, right?
Friends play zone.
Rudy can sit right there.
There is no defensive three seconds.
Friends play zone, so
they're not matching up anyway.
Just be right in the middle and you don't even want
to play. I like that.
So Rudy,
hey, can Rudy not play defense?
He's a good rotation,
help side defender.
I'm asking you a question.
Is he a good defender or not?
I mean, clearly he is.
He's not defensively here.
He's not good enough
to win it one time.
Well, he's won it four times.
He won it one time.
I'm asking the question.
I don't know.
I'm asking y'all a question.
You gotta go back.
Because you're diminishing
the fact that he's a defensive player.
He's got a question every year.
Every one he's won, maybe except for the first one, has been like, why?
That's not normal.
It is normal.
No.
Yeah.
No.
That's the only award the last three years that people have been like, why?
Every award someone gets, somebody else is going to say, why?
Why did he get it?
No.
I am.
But his why. Why? Why him it? I am. But his why.
Why him? Why, but no one has like
it wasn't like a close race.
It's always Rudy from the beginning of the season
to the end. No, it's not. I'm just wondering.
It proves it. I'm just wondering
when the coach said
for matchup purposes and then you see
them playing zone, you sit there and
say
so if he's in the five and Wimby's
at the four, it'd be hard for
them to get shot off.
They'd be slow.
In a zone!
In a zone!
We need to close out.
Slew footed as big, trying to close out to the corner.
We do not want that.
We're changing that.
If Wimby and Gobert are in together,
Gobert is the middle of the zone.
He still has to get to the corner at some point.
No.
He has to move.
He's still got to move.
Wimby was in too slow.
He probably ain't going all the way to the middle.
As a coach, I'm making the adjustment based on what I've got.
I've got another seven-footer that can move.
Wimby.
Gobert, sit down.
Or I got nothing from him.
Sit down.
It works either way.
We've been getting something from him every year since he's been playing.
So we get shit out of him.
Who?
Gobert.
France has been using him for years, and he's been effective for years.
It's just his time.
It's like, it's cool.
We got somebody else that's better.
What did they medal last Olympics?
Silver medal in Tokyo.
So now they'll win their second straight medal.
Come on, man. As advancing to the... their second straight medal. Come on, man.
They're advancing to the...
Their second straight silver.
Come on, man.
This is the second medal.
Gobert, man.
Did not distinguish.
Don't be okay.
We're just going to hand it off.
So now...
We're going to hand it off to Wimby, man.
You are Team Rudy.
No, I'm Team France.
That's what I wanted to get out of you.
Moving forward, you are on the Rudy Gobert train.
Okay.
Now, he said Rudy's time is done.
You're a bandwagon hopper.
Ah.
For everything.
It's just like the support players
who go out there and work hard
for their craft.
He ain't getting nothing to nobody.
Just for LeBron.
Except LeBron.
Except LeBron.
He the greatest of all time.
Rashad, do you really believe that?
Yeah.
Okay. Just checking. Right here. Soad, do you really believe that? Yeah.
Okay.
Just checking.
Right here.
So first quarter over with Team USA Serbia.
Serbia up 31 to 23.
We talked about this a little bit on the show yesterday.
You guys said seeing the Serbians three times.
Dan, imagine you...
Imagine on Peacock, right?
Is Peacock, right?
Is Peacock about to get just straight?
No.
You are Jason Tatum,
and you have prime commercials in the Olympics running,
and they're not playing.
That is crazy.
That is crazy.
You got prime commercials.
There was one commercial,
and it was that one.
Yes.
And you're not playing on the court right now.
Tatum, yet to enter the game.
Crazy.
Derek White is out there.
Out there having a good one.
Drew Holiday started.
Derek White is in the game as well.
Put my man in the game.
This is looking shaky, but we talked about...
I don't like this lineup.
I'm sorry.
I hate when him and Bam...
Like, there's too many role players.
Like, you can't have too many role players.
Like, what are they going to do?
Pass the ball, pity pat it around?
No, that's not what we need right now.
You can't have those three in the game at the same time.
Which three are you referring to?
When they have Bam, Drew Holiday, and Derek White.
That literally looks like you have number 15th,
14th, and 13th man on the team.
That's your defensive lineup, though.
Clearly not.
In theory, that's your
defensive lineup.
AD, Bam,
Drew, Derek,
and then I think they got Steph.
And they got Ant-Man out there, too.
Now they got KD out there.
No, AD, Derek White, Bam.
Drew Holiday.
Bam and AD.
Yeah.
That's the defensive lineup.
It is.
They do got Ant-Man in there.
He's getting Bucket.
But what ends up happening is it's easier now to go guard an Ant-Man
because now the other guys are not that effective.
So it's easier to double him versus
having a
Curry and a
KD out there with him where now
he gets to play onesies.
The thing about the National
Ball, they don't just double you just because
they respect you. You've got to
earn it. You've got to be hot for it.
So yesterday on the show we talked
about the Team USA squad facing Serbia.
Faced them in the exhibition round.
They faced them in the group stage.
Won both those games by 26 points.
You guys said Serbia wouldn't be as phased now because they've seen this squad a few times.
Why is this exciting you?
Because they look crazy out there.
They look nasty out there.
Why are you happy?
They look nasty.
Why are you happy?
I wanted to look nasty. Why are you happy? It looked nasty. Why are you happy? I wanted to look nasty.
Why?
Go ahead, continue, my man.
But just saying.
Sorry.
Now you're saying it?
Both those previous games by 26 points.
Now down nine points with eight minutes to go in the second quarter.
Serbian does not look phased.
It'll be fine.
Like it always is.
You nervous at all good for your country?
No, man.
Damn, brother. We got this. Man, listen. Just give us our gold, man, so we can just buy it.
Here's the only thing I'll say.
Clip it.
Here's the only thing I'll say.
Nervous?
No.
Clip them.
But the longer you allow Serbia to stay in the game,
their confidence is going to go up.
Yes, they've played them two other times.
USA beat them.
But Serbia right now, I think
they have a lot of confidence
that they can beat you.
Wow.
Right when she's saying confidence.
That's the day.
Look at you.
Serbia hit it three. No word
if they called bank on it, but now they got a 12
point lead.
They put Superman
back in. Hold on put Superman back in.
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's see what happens.
Derek White, three-pointer. Superman.
You know what's going to happen? Bron's going to finish
the game and win it and everybody's going to be mad.
Turn around. That's why
Derek White's in the game. For the
defensive end, not the offensive end.
How about that? I said not the offensive end.
If Curry was in that corner, he would have made that three.
We would have had to run and do this.
So Steph Curry, 17 points so far in the game.
17, 5 for 7.
He has 17 right now?
5 for 7 from three.
He has all of their points.
Steph has all their points.
Steph entered the game.
I think he was 5 for 20 from three entering it.
So it's good to see him finally heating up a little bit.
I know. Not right now. But these boys messing around, man. I'm just telling you. Hey, I see to take a break. So it's good to see him finally heating up a little bit. I know. Not right now.
Not right now.
But these boys messing around, man.
I'm just telling you.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
Hey, I see what they're doing.
I see what they're doing.
What are they doing?
I see what they're doing.
What are they doing?
Oh, Serbia, they're making...
Derek Wright.
Listen.
They're making Derek Wright chase over,
so they don't want to play the other guards as much
because Derek does a great job of chasing over the pick and roll.
They're taking away Joker's pop, but they're giving it to the other big as much, because Derek does a great job of chasing over the pick and roll. They're taking away Joker's
pop, but they're giving
it to the other big, ducking in.
They're allowing that other big to duck in,
and they're keeping Joker high.
So they're going to be stuck with a
small guard. With a small guard.
That's why I said never play the small guard.
You did say that.
Never play them.
To what you said yesterday, the moving part without the basketball, right?
They're so good at it.
International players.
They're so good.
Serbia, they're so good at moving without the basketball,
which forces all five players on USA to have to defend.
And be in tune.
And it's off ball.
Yes.
They don't do a lot of pick-and-roll stuff to just switch.
Yes.
Offensively, it's very different internationally than what we play here.
Yes.
And we better play some defense.
Because we can sit on the weak side and just interchange but not really move.
They do full court movement.
So that's harder to guard.
Hard to guard.
Especially when you want to switch.
And it's all five players.
And when you switch, you get a mismatch.
And you got the mismatch, yeah.
And they love international love.
And then when you have a Jokic who can just pick you apart with the basketball, it's, listen, they got to play.
Like, you don't need the traditional.
So when you're talking about someone running the offense, that's not, we don't run offense like that.
Where are you going?
You know what I mean? So when you're saying...
When you're saying if we're going to be doing a bunch of chasing and switching,
you want big lineups.
You want big...
Yes, yes.
Big lineups, you created.
Like, what'd you say that?
You had Bron at the point.
You had Tatum.
You had Bron.
AD.
AD.
AD.
AD and Bam or AD and goddamn...
Somebody else.
Embiid. Did you have Embiid or AD and goddamn Embiid.
Did you have Embiid?
You can have Embiid.
You can have, yeah.
You can have Anthony Edwards.
He's out.
Did you say Anthony Edwards?
Out, out, Embiid.
Embiid has played six minutes in this game.
Just one rebound.
Wow.
Damn.
That's a nice cut, though.
But Jalen Brown would have been a great addition for that big lineup,
those big lineups.
The only reason I didn't like the white was because we got rid of a big and grabbed a small.
And, you know, in theory, you don't do that as a, you know,
you don't make trades for you trade a big and grab a small.
So I'm getting rid of like 6'8", 6'9", defender who can play the 2-3-4
and then grab a guy who can really only play the 1-2.
But he got to be a elite
superstar if that's the case
So USA down 14 now seven minutes to go give it to me in the second quarter. Give it to me. Oh, he's healed
Hey, mister
Stop fouling me
That's another thing with this is so physical
Sir, ah wow, it's another thing with this shit. That's what I said. It's so physical. Nope.
Ah!
Wow.
That's a foul, ref.
That's a foul.
Serbia looking unfazed so far.
They were down 24 points to Australia in the quarterfinals.
Ended up going to overtime and getting that win.
Like I said, lost the previous two games against the U.S. by 26 points. Bam looked like, hey, Bam looked like lunch meat down there right now.
It's not looking pretty.
They're going to figure it out.
And how frustrating this too, with just Steph.
Steph kind of been struggling from behind the heart
entering this game 5 for 20.
You get a elite performance from Steph Curry to start the game.
And you find yourself in this hole.
Oh.
Not rebounding.
Got to make that.
Not another one.
Oh, you got to make that.
Up, up, up, up.
I don't know what is going on right now.
This is a little troubling.
A little extra chaotic.
You guys got a lot of heat yesterday with your comments.
I believe Kayden said that.
Who?
Yeah, where the heat coming from?
What did y'all say?
What did you do?
What did you do?
You faced the team for a third time.
Now they're going to be, you know, they don't look
like a superhuman anymore.
They're scouted.
Regular Hoopers now.
That was y'all.
That's normal.
That's normal.
Playoffs.
So what was the heat?
What happened?
I'm just saying, you know, people on the internet.
Internet, internetting.
They just weren't fans of those comments, thought the USA would easily dispose of Serbia.
They said no problem.
Sent you to Serbia to move around.
But guess what?
And we're here now.
Oh, this wee shit.
And we're here now.
Those were not... Get that shit out of here!
Foul.
What the fuck are you doing out here, old man?
I'm not a football fan.
I wish there were many.
My league now.
I don't like...
It's my league now.
Come here!
It's my league now!
Call a timeout!
Oof. USA... What the fuck you talking about? It's my league now. Come here. It's my league now. Call a timeout. Oof.
USA.
The fuck you talking about is Euro.
Euro stepping all over these motherfuckers out here.
Euro step on them.
Give me that shit.
I didn't think that the USA was going to lose,
but when I saw they were playing Serbia in the semis,
I was like.
Mm-hmm.
Nasty.
Nasty work.
Yeah.
You should feel. Prefer to see them work. Yeah. You should feel...
Prefer to see them in the championship.
You should be nervous.
Listen.
Why so serious?
Why are you so happy?
Rashad!
I don't like this.
Support your country.
I don't want to...
Until the election is over, we in the middle.
We in the middle. I don't know who gonna win,, we in the middle. We in the middle.
I don't know who going to win, but we in the middle until it's over.
I'm in France.
I'm living in France until then.
I mean, that's a great place to live.
You was just there.
It's a nice little place.
So, Serbia up 17-9.
B just hit a jumper.
I don't know if he's going to get the bucket for that.
The scoring a little slow if you will
They got a foul on Devin Booker
But after the shot right so that's how Bucky should count. Yeah
USA not cut the lead or cut the deficit to 15
Steve Kerr well he got up
Why people get up is over
When they get red in the cheeks, it's over.
Start casing.
Yeah.
Oh, Lord.
That's hilarious.
When white people get up, you know it's over.
Joker, you got to hit that.
That's too easy.
You got to hit that, bro.
That was funny.
That was funny.
When the if and when the USA wins gold,
you have to come decked out in USA gear. I already got it.
Rashad, I don't like this thing.
You're crazy.
Right.
I've heard it before.
I said, I'm going for France, but I got my all USA
shit ready to go.
You have all of your French stuff?
I'm a retro nigga, man.
I got to keep my retro shit.
I can't stand you.
I can't stand you.
I got it already. What's that retro shit. I can't stand him. I can't stand him. I got it already.
What's that talk about?
I can't stand him.
Rashad, French fan, Serbia fan?
Like I said, French fans,
you're concerned.
He's a fan of anybody
that's playing against USA.
I'm a basketball enthusiast.
Okay?
I just love to watch this shit.
That's what we call it.
Who do you want to win this game?
This game right now?
The one we're currently watching.
Let it be known, Rashad.
Let it be known.
I want USA to win.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So y'all can lose to France.
So y'all can lose to France.
But.
But.
Y'all can lose to France.
I hear a but cut.
If we give it all the way to France, it don't make no sense.
Y'all don't play France.
You got to win today.
Oh, for y'all to play France.
Oui, oui.
Is that what you just said? Okay, so this game right here, the loser gets bronze or is it? Y'all don't play friends. You gotta win day. Oh y'all for y'all to play friends. We we
Okay, so this game right here the loser gets bronze or they go to the bronze medal
Winners obviously assured of a medal either gold or silver but the loser could still not medal in this Olympics if they lose that bronze medal game
People are getting a medal.
Yeah.
We meddling no matter what.
If the U.S. don't pull this off.
No, thankfully we don't have to tell until next week.
It's going to be some shit coming out of that locker room.
He going to be so happy?
There's going to be some shit coming out of that locker room.
Like what?
I don't think so.
Hey, if they do not win gold, there's going to be some shit coming out that locker room.
I'm blaming everybody else because of the negativity
y'all have been throwing at this damn team since day one.
Don't compare yourself to the dream team
and don't expect no negativity.
And this is...
And you losing a subject?
But why...
Seriously, take Steve Kerr, everybody out.
Why do you think Jason Tatum is not playing?
Crazy.
I know it's crazy.
Like, at all.
Because I...
Like, seriously.
Is it the same thing as Rudy?
Well, no.
Just Steve not coming out saying, man, we need a better defensive player on the floor. I think just like anything, these guys overthink basketball trying to be smart, right?
And instead of letting the players go out there and be great,
they think that they can come in and, all right, we're going to make this and do this
and put these three work together versus these.
And you're sitting here and you're putting these teams like,
okay, LeBron and this is how they play.
These two guys will work better with him.
And that's not real, right?
Greatness always finds out.
They always figure out how to play each other.
Go them out there.
If you put five of our top centers, they're going to figure out who is the best dribbler out there. If you put the best, if you put five of our top centers,
they're going to figure out
who is the best dribbler out there.
All right, all right, you dribble.
Motherfucker, who can shoot the best?
All right, you on the wing,
and we're going to figure it.
They can figure it out.
That's what makes them professionals.
So when you're going out there
trying to manipulate the game,
and you're trying to create these rocks,
if the U.S. somehow didn't win,
the first people under attack is the committee themselves.
Yes, no doubt.
They put the team together.
The committee themselves.
No doubt.
And you're going to put so much hatred towards
why Derek White wasn't on his team,
which is unfair to him.
Jalen Brown.
No, Derek White, why he was on his team,
is going to get faulted for something he didn't do.
Skip pass.
Fuck it.
And that becomes a problem.
He would get so much backlash,
and his name is going to be ran into the dirt for no fucking reason.
Because they decided the Kawhi stuff is going to come back up,
and why Kyrie's not on the...
All of these names that should be here is going to be put up front and they're going to target the people who don't really belong on the stage.
Because who's going to say no?
Who's going to say no?
Damn it.
Dang, he had a layup.
Take him to the who?
No way.
Out of here.
USA, cut the lead. He can't even finish a layup. You him to the hoop. No way. Out of here. USA cut the lead.
He can't even finish a layup.
You got to make that, Steph.
Oh.
Steph, you cannot miss that shot.
Why did he not go shoot a layup?
It's a layup.
Why are we doing that?
Go shoot a layup.
Three on one.
They're trying to over-manipulate basketball.
You can't do that.
Like, it's not against a good European team.
But that is a layup, though.
It was a wide-open layup.
No, the layup is a layup.
Or pass ahead. Why did he pass behind? The layup is a layup. That that is a layup, though. It was a wide-open layup. No, the layup is a layup. Or pass ahead.
Why did he pass behind?
The layup is a layup.
That's a Steph layup, though.
Ant was right next to him, right?
That's a layup, too.
That's a bong bonga.
Bonga bonga.
Bonga bonga.
I'm a fan of his.
It's my bonga bonga, man.
Bog Donovan, as he is known by.
I love his name.
But that's the thing I'm saying.
The layup.
Uh-oh.
You give it to Derrick White or you give it to Drew Holiday, they're making a play
for someone.
Somebody else.
Make a layup.
You are.
First.
The superstar makes the layup.
That's the rule.
That's the rule though.
Yes.
Get the layup first.
I don't need the fucking role player being the role.
It's a wide open left.
Go, just get the two.
Pick up full court.
Don't sit there.
You got a fast break.
Slow down.
He was ahead of dudes.
He slowed down.
It was ahead of him.
Those are the little things.
Those be the little things that lose you the game.
That your role player versus your superstar.
So LeBron has got into with the the Serbian squad mainly
Bogdanovich over some flopping issues refs told him to go to his bench the boba a guy you better leave my man's alone
Look at that bag of baga that motherfucker nice ball screen defense. That's just trash. They know that, though.
They know that.
Look, Embiid.
We got Embiid.
We got Embiid in the figure.
You know he's been in America a long time.
Yeah.
This is how we do the three.
They don't do that in search.
You rolls do the three like this.
Three.
Yeah, he's been here a long time.
Bogdanovich, 12 points.
Two for three from three so far in this game.
Boggy, Boggy.
Look, Jason, are you kidding me?
Still on the bench.
Man, I don't understand it.
I don't like that.
Steve Kerr, you do understand it.
Y'all all understand.
Y'all won't say it.
Get his ass up out of there.
I don't understand it.
He crashed.
It makes it look bad because it's the roster that they're putting together.
Trash.
Thank you.
And meanwhile, they have pissed off LeBron.
Okay, okay.
That's a big shot, LeBron.
They have pissed off Rashad's favorite player, LeBron James.
Don't poke him.
Don't poke him.
That's a big shot.
They have pissed off Rashad's favorite player, LeBron James.
LeBron just hit a big shot.
Oh, they going right at LeBron?
No, no.
Oh, we going right at LeBron?
Who is that? Yeah, get that out of here. Go at LeBron if you. No. Oh, we going right at LeBron? Who is that?
Yeah, get that out of here.
Go at LeBron if you want to.
Bogda, Bogda.
Was that Bogdy?
Nah.
No, I was going to say, he ain't that big.
It's over, Bron.
That was another bitch.
Oh, you going to pass it?
That was another bitch.
You going to pass it?
I know you're not going to pass it.
There you go.
Yeah.
Okay, man.
That's what I'm talking about, me.
That's why I like you.
Okay.
That's why he throws on his team. Welcome to America. That's what I'm saying about a B. That's why I like you. OK.
That's why he was on his team.
That's welcome to America.
That should have been an M1.
That was definitely an M1.
A what?
For sure.
Yeah.
We claiming you right now, B.
That's why you got a passport.
That should have been an M1.
That's why France is mad at him.
That's why you got a passport. Let That's why he got a fast board.
Well, shall we go back to something you said yesterday?
You said if Embiid was on this French squad,
they'd win the gold medal.
Thanks.
Oh. They would have a better chance
of winning the gold medal.
No.
They wouldn't win it, though.
Man, this nigga damn near broke his kneecap.
That was a... That should have been a foul.
So, he yoked with the pump fake, drove to the cup.
Oh, no, it wasn't.
No, it wasn't.
Yum, yo, big ass.
You goofy as hell.
That was some goofy ass shit right there.
Had to rev up.
That was goofy shit.
I did not trust this man's lower body at all.
Did you see how he just fell like that?
That wasn't a foul.
That shit was nasty.
That shit was nasty.
And I see what you mean. Because in the NBA, that's a foul. That shit was nasty. That shit was nasty. And I see what you mean to say.
Because in the NBA, that's a foul.
He just don't control his knees whatsoever.
Ankles give out and everything.
That was disgusting.
He does not know how to fall whatsoever.
So we got Victor Wamba Wamba and Bogdan Bogda Bogda.
Bogda Bogda.
Boggy Boggy. Bogda Bogda. Not Bogda. Boggy Boggy.
Let's go.
USA within ten points now.
Drew Holliday's only taking one shot.
I think they're going to...
Kevin Durant only has gotten one shot.
Yeah, USA's just going 12-round this.
This is a 12-round fight.
They're just going to go all the way to this.
You said Kevin Durant's only got one shot?
Kevin Durant's only got one shot.
Yeah, that.
How many minutes have you played?
That can't happen.
Go, go, go.
Go.
Give it to him.
Ah!
We know LeBron going to gamble.
Ooh.
We know LeBron going to gamble.
Moving that ball.
We know LeBron going to gamble.
Listen, they be moving a lot.
Don't want to play no real defense.
Well, I think they put, what, eight threes, seven threes?
Shooting the fucking passing lanes like that,
and you know we got to stay solid.
So, Serbia right now...
You got to make that. Let's go.
Serbia 9 for 17 for the three-point line.
Shoot 53%.
He don't need to be shooting three.
Slow it down. Slow it down.
Give it the bogey-bogey. Ooh. Ooh. Give it the boggy boggy.
Give it the boggy boggy.
He had a layup.
Fuck.
Oh, we got this.
We got this.
Two minutes remaining.
That's cool.
Smack it off the rim.
Yeah, build a wall.
Build a wall. Build a wall.
Relax.
Relax.
Stay close, bro.
Come on, Steph.
For everybody watching,
we hope you're enjoying Play-by-Play now.
What's turning into a live watch
of Team USA Serbian.
Play-by-Play.
It's hard.
Come on.
Oh, I see what's going on.
Come on.
Steph can't play with Embiid because Embiid
had his head down when he got the ball.
He can't see Steph moving without the ball.
Well, I think what USA Basketball also shows people
is how these teams are built around their stars.
Down 13.
Like, people need to be stopping being so hard on players
on teams doing their job.
Right, right, right.
Like, a lot of players get heat for not maybe doing as much as people think,
but they have no idea how this team has been built
and the instructions they've been given to win games.
The special role they play for,
everybody thinks they're supposed to be doing more,
but they've been given directions.
They're supposed to do.
On which one?
We're talking about, like, just players in general.
No, but you're saying when they're on the Olympic team. When they're on the Olympic team, you see... You know, it's interesting you say about, like, just players in general. Like, the role players.
You know, it's interesting you say that because,
and I totally agree, the other day Sue Bird did an interview with, I don't know if you saw it,
I think it was Mello and somebody else,
and she said, when you're on the
Olympic team,
there's probably only
two, maybe three
players that can do
what they do on their regular team.
And when you go to the Olympics,
you're asked to do something totally different.
And a lot of people, a lot of players
can't make that adjustment.
And I know that's true because on our 96 Olympic team,
like, players were asked to do something totally different
than they do on their regular team.
And that's a hard adjustment to make.
Team over talent.
That's what they want.
It's very hard.
It's true, though.
What does that mean?
What does what mean?
Okay, Steph!
Yeah.
Like, what do you mean?
Like, come and do something?
Future Lakers, Steph Curry.
You're a great shooter.
I just need you to pass the ball.
No, not that.
Because we got somebody else that can shoot you.
Yeah, but he ain't as good as you.
Not like that. But, like, not that. Because we got somebody else that can shoot you as good as you. Yeah, but he ain't as good as you. Not like that,
but like Steph, right?
Uh-huh.
Steve Kerr does not expect
Steph to come on this team
and be anybody else
because Steph is a shooter.
Okay.
Right?
But if you're playing,
like, I'll take our
96th Olympic team, right?
There were players on the team
like a Nikki McCray,
God rest her soul.
Nikki, Nikki.
That was told, like, we're not looking
for you to score. You're a defender.
Your role on this team is to defend.
So, there were times
Nikki would actually have layups and she
wouldn't take them because she's like,
I'm not supposed to score.
That's not right, though. I've seen that.
That's what ends up happening.
When you're thinking, you're overthinking.
Not that they said, don't shoot layups, right?
Right, but you get something in your head.
But when we're running our offense or whatever,
that's not what your role is.
Yeah.
And so, yes, you start getting in your head like,
damn, I know I got a layup, but that ain't what I'm supposed to do.
Yeah.
So I'm not going to even look to shoot the basketball.
And then now what you just said is how you see a Ben Simmons? Yeah, you put something in there break out you put something in their mind
We don't want you to do this and then you go out and you execute that shit, right?
You go out and execute it to the best of your ability
Thanks, and then when you need this person to turn it on and he has a wide open layup, you done told the man don't shoot the ball and that's he's been programmed to pass it.
Now when you need that bucket and he don't give it to you, something's wrong with him.
That's crazy.
That's why I told don't tell athletes don't do shit.
But you know, when you said the other day when you were talking to this team, right,
you were like, damn, they got three players out there
who aren't even looking to shoot.
And I don't know this for a fact, but it's probably
because they've been told,
get the ball to Asia and get the ball to Stewie.
And so
they're like, I gotta get
the ball to Asia, I gotta get the ball to Stewie. Even if I'm
wide open, I am not gonna shoot this.
Which that's, I mean,
it's not even on, it's on the, and I'm not saying it's right.
It's not even on... It's on the players a little bit,
but it's like,
you don't know what these conversations are about.
Because you know,
if you go out there and shoot,
you go out there and shoot
and they told you as to pass it,
sub.
Yeah.
Whether you make it or not.
I'm wide open, dog.
Knowing that,
knowing who's the coach.
It's a real thing.
Yeah, it is a real thing.
Real thing.
Halftime, Team USA,
Serbia up 54 to 43 11 point lead
Going into the break. That's not good. You know, how confident are you still in this team USA squad?
with 20 minutes left to play
His name was
Never lost
The bar ball mode never lost
We never lose two quarters in a row never lose two quarters in a row.
Never lose two halves in a row.
Come on, man.
I'm playing.
Oh, man.
Much like Team USA, not playing.
Kevin Durant about to come in his mother's book, right?
Much like Team USA.
Kevin Durant about to come in his mother's book.
We got a lot of people just chilling, so I guess this is a plan.
If I say you did, I'm not playing.
I can only assume that this is a plan.
I'm resting the stars for the second half.
So, hey, Jason Tatum, you know what, Bernie?
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt right now.
You know what Bernie Mac used to say?
What?
You in trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble!
You in trouble, you in trouble, boy. Who you in trouble? Who you in trouble, boy?
Well, say they do lose.
What is the order of criticism?
Committee.
Grant Hill.
Oop, it's first.
Grant Hill.
Committee.
Hey, old man.
LeBron James, number one.
That's what's going to happen.
But that's what's going to happen.
Yeah.
Number one, That's what's going to happen. But that's what's going to happen. Number one! Nobody else!
He the one that made the call and said,
dun-dun-dun-dun!
See your citizen, LeBron James, will get the blame.
Number one.
Despite all he's done for his country.
He just proved the point that I've been saying.
Y'all can't wait.
The reason that these guys are rooting for the South Sudan, the Serbs, everybody against USA is so LeBron James.
If he fails, they get to throw this.
This is why you're not the GOAT.
Even though their GOAT wasn't shit at this age.
That's not it.
Any GOAT that they even decide to pick was not a basketball player at this age. That's not it. Any GOAT that they even decided to pick was not a basketball player
at this age.
So they're going to
judge him off of something
that their star
wasn't even a part of.
He wasn't thinking
about the league.
And if he wins,
if he wins,
ah, that shit don't matter.
It was a team thing.
Right?
If USA loses,
all the reporters
are going to blame
LeBron James.
Like, it was his fault.
But in reality, first comes the committee because there's some questionable things everybody questioned.
Two, the coach is sad because you did some things that no one seemed coming.
You're benching players that are clearly starters, six men at worst.
Yeah.
Six men at worst, and one of them is not, still ain't playing at this moment.
And then from there, we can go and pick players, but for the most part, this ain't a player's
law.
They won the championship.
They won a championship.
They won a championship.
And he was a big reason why they won the championship.
And then you throw him in the starting lineup,
and then you stop playing him again.
Like, it's weird.
Yeah, you put him in the starting lineup for one game.
Yeah.
Tatum, D&P.
D&P.
Who's playing over him?
Derrick White.
And who else?
Drew Holiday.
Maybe.
What team they play on? Wait, Derrick White, Andrews starting?
So the starting lineup for this game was Holiday, curry LeBron Booker and be hmm holiday curry
Booker Booker Booker three smalls three small three points and who LeBron and Embiid LeBron and Embiid
Weird my name started. I know he hasn't started the entire Olympics. No, no
Because he wasn't here from the beginning. Bitch, he's here now.
How many games does he have to play
to get in the starting lineup?
He's here now.
The first round, okay.
What the hell?
Game one, game two, okay.
Game three, he's starting, bro.
If he don't come out
at a halftime
and we don't see
nothing but seven footers.
Yeah.
So we have a mostly fans question
that I think is appropriate in this moment from
underdog user OC3N
Hoops. He said, should this be
Steve Kerr's first and last
Olympics as head coach? Absolutely.
Listen, it's Bear Down.
Listen, it's a guilt.
Listen, Bear Down.
I'm Bear Down all the way. you asked me I would love to sub out right now right you know you
know how to be switching the line of a started first half we gonna start you
say that you coach first half you go Yeah. Smosh, smosh, smosh. Go, Smosh. Go, Smosh. Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh.
Go, Smosh. Go, Smosh. Go, Smosh. Go. We need a coach and a sub. Get popped in Impractical Joker's earpiece.
Let them just...
Like they be doing on them game shows.
We need to phone a friend.
Phone a friend.
Here's one of your lifelines.
Lifeline.
Don't be a lifeline.
Feel.
Feel.
Feel.
Feel.
Feel.
Feel at home. Feel at home like.
Huh?
Feel at home like that.
It all feels personal.
And that's what the Olympics has felt like for a long time.
It all feels too personal.
It does not feel.
You want to win gold.
You don't have a winning spirit.
You're not going into.
You're going into it with an objective of marketing
whoever you want to market.
Hey.
Where's Halliburton?
He is also
on Chilling's Island.
Damn, I forgot
he was on the team.
He was on the fucking team.
Yeah.
It's a lot of light
skin to do
and not get in play.
I'm not saying anything.
I'm going to kick
your fucking ass.
I blame Drake.
Hey.
You got me going back to house party, man. I'm going to kick your fucking ass. I blame Drake. You got me going back to house party, man.
I'm going to kick your fucking ass.
Like, even in this team, if we wanted to blame a player,
to be honest, there's no player.
You can't blame one player.
None of them are playing.
Because most of the players are playing well.
The guys that should be playing ain't playing.
So, Tayden, we can't blame you.
You didn't get in.
Holly Birdie, he be like, shit, I didn't get in.
Right?
I was just hanging out.
Derek White was like, well, they played you.
You're like, well, shit, I did what I could do to the best of my ability.
Can't blame him.
Hey, Brandon Ingram on the phone with Tatum.
I'm like, I told you.
I told you not to go down there fucking with them.
See what they did to me last summer. They did to all of them. They just did the shit to me. Did you see what they did to me last summer?
They did to all of them.
They just did to me.
What you think they're going to do to you?
The whole team is sitting there like, KD, you can't blame KD.
Blame KD.
He's coming on the bench.
And doing his job as a bench player.
So we're talking about the players on the roster.
Let's talk now about a player who isn't on the roster.
So Jalen Brown is one of the biggest snubs on this Team USA Olympic squad.
There's been some tension between him and Team USA managing director Grant Hill in the aftermath.
So with Brown accusing sneaker politics with Nike being one of the contributing factors to him being left off the team,
Hill shut down Brown's accusations, calling them a conspiracy theory
and saying that Brown being left off the team was purely a basketball decision.
Brown responded to Grant Hill's conspiracy theory claims with the following tweet.
I'm tired of these Twitter tweets.
He said, Grant Hill calling me a conspiracy theorist is disappointing.
I've been a VP since I was 21 years old.
I have great understanding.
So during a recent interview with Rachel Nichols on her Open Run show, Hill discussed the situation
with Brown and left the door open for him being a candidate for the 2028 Olympic squad.
When we first put out the roster before it was announced, I called certain guys.
I called Paul George.
I called Damian Lillard.
I called Jalen Brown.
I felt like they were of a certain stature where they deserved to hear it before it was
made public.
And I appreciated their willingness to want to be a part of this.
Also wanted them to appreciate just how difficult this was. But to me, that was leading
with integrity, doing the right thing, recognizing who they are, what they've meant to USA basketball
in years past. It's a lot of noise. Like, I'm confident he and I will sit down at some point
and talk about it, get to some level of understanding. Look, he'll be a candidate
if he wants in 28. You still feel that way? You'd welcome him on the team? Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
No, one thing I've learned, you can't take anything personal.
My objective is to win.
And then, you know, as soon as hopefully that happens, we pivot and start looking ahead
to the future.
So, a question for the couch.
Put yourself in the mind of Jaylen Brown.
If you were Jaylen Brown, what would you want to play for Team USA in 2028 after how you
got did this year Easter Conference Finals MVP
finals MVP NBA champion you have to watch your teammate get the call over
don't want to play you still play all of his oh is this so bad for them to be
like yeah he would adidas we pick night like is that such a horrible thing to say if that's, like, played a part of it?
Like, that would kind of take the whole power out of Grant Hill's hands completely and put it on Nike, which they're a company.
So people could just be mad at Nike, but, like.
Big business, though.
It's, like, weird that, like, people are dancing around that because you do have, like.
Grant Hill or Feliz.
You have no Adidas...
They don't have no Adidas athletes on the roster, do they?
But they have Under Armour, they have Adidas.
Oh, yeah.
Usually just one of...
You try to get one.
One of each.
Not one of each.
They got Adidas.
You don't pick three.
They got Skechers with Embiid.
They got Skechers, Under Armour and...
And Adidas.
But just one of each.
And everyone else like- Uh-huh.
There's only two paths for him.
He can go with the current or he can go against it.
If he go with it, yeah, I'm gonna be a part of this.
Everything's forgiven, under the rug, blah, blah, blah.
But if he go against the current, that's him standing on business right now.
I don't like what y'all did to Kyrie.
I don't like what y'all did to me publicly.
Then you're trying to backpedal and backtrack,
talking about you're going to give me an open invitation
to come back and do some shit.
You'd be a candidate just like you were
for this squad in 2014.
But then, you know, like Gil was saying,
like Grant Hill don't have no real say about XYZ,
so he's telling him I'll have a conversation with him But then, you know, like Gil was saying, like, Grant Hill don't have no real say about X, Y, Z.
So he's telling him I'll have a conversation with him knowing that he didn't have the deciding factor in choosing him would be an empty conversation to begin with.
So it's like I think he stand on business with politics because that's what he's been doing since he was 21. Yeah, so I got great understanding.
And the fact that you did this wages war for me.
If I'm Jalen, I'm like, yeah, you want to do that?
That's the game we're playing?
Okay, let's go that way.
Especially all his recent success, like, being an Olympian,
that would just be something to add to his resume.
It seems like he'd go two ways, though.
Like you said, he put his ass on that 2026 FIBA team.
That's crazy, bro.
I mean, he's not going to make
the 2028 Olympic team.
Unless he signed
with Nike,
which that will be the conversation
that they're having. Because he doesn't have a shoe.
Sneaker-free agent right now.
He's a sneaker-free agent.
He's not going to Nike, though.
You think he can make enough noise for them to try to change
the committee's outreach on the sneaker thing?
No.
Who's cutting the check?
I mean, how much more noise does he need to make?
He needs to get other players with him that may be selected to the team.
That wear what?
Other shoe companies?
Just to get behind him.
Just to be like, yo, this is what we on.
We need it to be like this.
We need to get the sneaker companies out of it.
Paying too much.
They pay too much.
Nike, you're all in that jersey.
I think it's more than that, than the sneaker company.
I think it's...
Jalen Brown is real.
Like, Kyrie Irving and Jalen Brown are very similar in their thoughts and their beliefs and the politics.
That, to me, is too much for them, for you as a basketball player.
That seems easy, but what interviews have we heard from the motherfuckers over there?
We haven't heard a LeBron interview.
We haven't heard no interviews for whatever political thing they're going to say is not coming.
If I'm a reporter, we're asking about the game is going on, how you're doing here.
There's no world conversations going on in the Olympics because it hasn't came from any athletes.
And I'm pretty sure there's more militant athletes from different countries here.
But those conversations are not happening because this is a different platform.
So it's an easy conversation to say, but it's not realistic.
Really?
Yeah.
It's not realistic because for the most part, there's been interviews after each game.
And where are they?
From every team.
They don't have anybody to target.
That's why they kept targets off the roster.
Exactly.
They wanted to keep the targets off the roster.
No, I'm saying for any country, though.
It becomes a...
If Kyrie and Jalen Brown are on this team,
they do interviews,
there's all kinds of stuff they could talk about.
We don't want to be a part of that.
What has Jalen Brown said in history
that makes him just...
The Nike thing.
That's after the fact, though.
He plays for Boston Celtic,
does interviews every single day.
He's been...
He's outspoken.
He's outspoken. Truth.
He's just like Kyrie.
There's nothing he's
done said to say,
we can't put a microphone in his face.
No, he hasn't went that far.
But he's got the potential. So he's going to wait He's done said to say, man, we can't put a microphone in his face. No, he hasn't went that far. He hasn't went that far.
But he's got the potential.
So he's going to wait until he gets on Olympic to throw his career? Well, that's what I'm saying.
Them to put that sub-sum on him is not fair to him.
But that was the start.
It started with.
It's not saying he would do it.
But it's saying that's what they think.
No, that's what we think they think.
Gil, it started with the market.
When we say that,
it makes him look worse.
But it started with the marketing question
from Stephen A.
That's what set all of these things up.
I know, but that's what I'm saying.
Every time we use that narrative
that he's outspoken,
it actually makes him look like...
A problem.
A problem.
Like, oh, shit.
He's an activist.
Don't put a microphone on him. He's an activist. He's an activist.
He's the guy that was outside.
He's a proud activist.
He is the guy.
He also uses his social platform to speak out.
Both of them are activists.
So this feud started 2022 after the whole Kyrie situation.
He tweeted, since when did Nike care about ethics?
After Nike dropped.
Because he knows about Nike's ethics one ever we do but he also knows what hope happens over in China
I mean so so he's like when since when did Nike kick? That's a jab at Nike
They directly took that personal. So now it's just a few back and forth over what he say makes Oh Nike
This what we doing. Yeah. Oh, Nike, this what we doing? Okay.
Remember, I was the first one to say,
I was a part of it.
I was there in real time
where me and Dwight
are the only Adidas people on the team
and they're sitting there
running the Nike stuff
and then they sitting there
hiding the white shoes
because you can see the Adidas logo
and they're covering that shit up.
I was there.
I was on the 2016
where Dwight Howard's there and you got to block his shoe up and all that stuff the Adidas logo and they're covering that shit up. I was there. I was on the 2016 where
Dwight Howard's there and you
got to block his shoe up and all that stuff.
I'm sitting there like, well, I'm not getting no time.
You got on the roll.
The dream team, everybody covering the
logo with the flag, you had Jordan and those guys.
I'm just saying, this has been
going on. I'm like, what do you mean
the wrong shoes?
You're like, boy, this is
swoosh, not stripes you mean by the wrong shoes? And you be like, yeah, boy, this is swoosh.
Swoosh.
Not stripes.
And then that was the first concept of it.
When I'm sitting on the bench, like, come on, man.
Come on, go and put me in.
Boy, you better change your shoes
you want to get in this game.
Yeah.
Oh, dang.
That's crazy.
That's so crazy.
But it do make sense now that you saying it like that.
When you look on the floor and you see some stripes
and no checks, and it's just one of them. on the floor, you see some stripes and no checks.
It's just one of them.
I'm like, Nike, y'all so damn greedy.
Because really?
I got the jerseys.
It's advertised.
Y'all got everything.
I mean, this is like, this is the thing.
Oh, but they're putting the money behind it.
This is the biggest, as I said, this is the biggest stage in the world.
You have every world country here, and you're saying that my product is Nike.
Nike's product is not USA Basketball.
Their product is Nike, the swoosh.
So I'm going to put it out there.
I'm going to sell it to the world.
I don't care about.
And using these athletes as a platform to promote it.
Because even before they had a sponsorship in the Olympics,
you think about Michael Johnson with the golden Nike shoes like that that was all promotional material, right?
They give them that stuff now you're seeing the brand you're seeing the logo regardless of whether or not they have an actual official Olympic
sponsorship
Brilliant marketing on their part. These is commercial like I mean, but you have to understand that as an athlete that you know
These are these are the things that's what I said I've seen it in youth basketball where these kids are making decisions off
a shoe company.
Yep, for sure.
Like, oh, man, if I go with Nike, I might have a chance to play the USA.
But if I go with Nike, am I going to go to the McDonald's All-American game?
Because now it's too much pressure, man.
And motherfuckers just, like, people just want to play basketball.
Right?
Right.
It is what it is.
So we're in the third quarter right now.
Team USA has cut the deficit to seven points.
They're down 54-47.
Who was your opponent?
Was y'all rebound?
Mm-mm.
Who was y'all?
In 96?
Oh, when y'all played?
Yeah, it was Nike.
Nike got it in 96? I think so. Because 92 played? Yeah, when was that? I think it was Nike. It was Nike.
Nike got it in 96?
I think so.
Because 92 was Reebok.
Champion.
Champion?
Champion.
It was champion.
It was champion in 96.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I was Nike, so I don't know about all that.
It's good.
See, oh yeah, I was Nike.
Oh, yeah, I was Nike.
I was Nike and a champ.
I was a Nike girl.
You got to get them right.
Yeah, it was.
He was like, I was Nike and I was a champ, so we're not...
I was Nike and I was a champ. I was Nike and I was a champ. I was Nike and I was a champ. I was Nike and I was a champ. I was Nike and a champ. I was a Nike girl.
Yeah, it was.
He was like, I was Nike and I was a champ.
So, you know.
I mean, it's about the same.
No, it's not about that.
Champion still exists.
Champion is still around.
I said Champion still exists.
Yep, they sell it at Urban Outfitters.
They what?
It's at Urban Outfitters.
Is it?
Mm-hmm.
So, Hanes owned Champion.
I think they sold it to Authentic Brands Group in a deal worth up to $1.5 billion.
Damn.
This summer, back in June.
Yeah, it's all up in Urban Outfitters.
And speaking of Champions, are we going to see this Team USA squad advance to the gold
medal game?
Yes.
Are you still confident?
Bro, I just got a check.
He's not going to ask me every five minutes.
I got to check.
He got to ask.
I'm going to ESB it.
Like, I'm going to keep saying yes,
and then get into the game over with.
And then when the game over with,
I still might say yes if we're not there.
We're going to appeal.
We will appeal the decision.
You got mad.
Like, I'm going to cheer that bronze game
on like it's a gold game.
No, no.
Oh, don't say that. Oh, my God.
Relax, Boggy.
Relax, Boggy.
They got you bogged up right now.
Oh, yeah.
That's too easy.
That was a nice one.
Boggy, Boggy.
Jokic went right at him.
B got the bucket.
Serbia back up 12.
We had this type of milkshake before.
But now B coming right back at him. I realize how great Jokic is and how dumb some other players are.
Damn.
If you know when he first initially drives and you try to use power against him,
he spins right off you every single time.
You can't counter him with power.
They actually teach that with big men, though.
Yeah, he's a counterpuncher.
Yes, that's a great way to describe him.
Oh, they got a check.
He's a counterpuncher.
So we asked the chat, Gil, this will make you feel better.
We asked the chat who's going to win,
and we have over 3,100 voters right now, 75% still believe in America.
You.
Yeah, we got an American pro-American chat.
75%?
75% of the chat.
About how many of y'all
motherfuckers took the vaccine.
Y'all motherfuckers crazy.
Anyway, back to basketball.
Oh, damn.
Serbia on fire
from long range.
He's left-handed, right?
And they still keeping them open.
See, they got out there their best shooters.
They got their best five on the court.
Stay down.
Bucket.
Got him.
You got to stay down, bro.
That boy right there couldn't shoot it.
He's doing his thing right now.
He had one later.
I'm going to keep you excited.
Hey, how tall are the Serbian guards?
Same size. Hell no. He is. I'm going to keep you excited. Hey, how tall are the Serbian guards? Same size.
Pale, no.
He is.
I'm pretty sure they're bigger.
They're bigger than Steph.
No, they're the same size.
Him and Steph are the same size.
Oh, yeah, over there.
The one that's guarding Steph?
Yeah, the guard and Steph, yeah.
Or that Steph is guarding?
I'm pretty sure they're bigger.
They got height on them?
Nah, let me find it.
Look, Jason.
Well, obviously he's not playing.
0 for 0.
Oh, man.
KD, 0 for 1. Bam, 0 for 1. playing. 0 for 0. Oh, man. KD, 0 for 1.
Bam, 0 for 1.
AD, 0 for 0.
Anthony Edwards, 1 for 3.
Yeah, Steph, 24 points right now.
7 for 10 from 3.
What are we doing?
All is the...
Yeah.
What are we doing?
Let me find it out.
How many shots?
We are researching it right now.
3 for 4.
Who?
Ron.
What does it be?
5 for 8.
5 for 8, yeah.
Feedbook, 1 for 3.
Drew, 0 for 1.
You're 0 for 1? Like, you're playing so many minutes,
you didn't do nothing? What are you doing?
But you took one shot and a half.
He got 7 for 10 from 3.
Yeah, one shot, dawg. Like, how...
And a half.
How are you productive, dawg? Do something, man.
Right now, it's 2 against 5 if you guys are not shooting. Yeah. They're playing 5. All of their... Good job, dog. Do something, man. Right now, it's two against five if you guys are not shooting.
They're playing five.
All of their...
Way to understand FIBA rules.
All of these guys are attacking.
See?
See the ball. Damn.
He's a role player. It's Drew Holiday.
Fuck. It's Drew.
It's Drew.
If that's a shooter, he's shooting the ball. Shoot right away.
Drew's definitely putting it on the ground.
He's definitely putting it on the floor.
You've been outspoken
about this even before the Olympics with
this Rockster construction. I don't like, I
never, because I played
against it. I understand
the game. You have
a dead shot. If your guy's not gonna
shoot, I'm not gonna guard them like that
Yeah, they don't even really don't even run them off the three-point line because I only know he's gonna shoot my account
No, so you're playing you're playing two on five
He's looking to pass
And then Embiid yeah yeah, he don't scream.
He wants to go score.
Oh, foul.
Wow.
Pulled the chair on him.
But then Steph is so used to getting the ball from his big and they're coming right to set
him.
Embiid is going to post up.
Embiid is a ball stopper.
A ball stopper.
He's a ball stopper.
Steph don't know how to play with ball stoppers and he's figuring it out, but they're not
winning.
And that's the difference between him and Joker.
Joker's not a ball stopper. He had a it out but they're not winning so it doesn't really matter. And that's the difference between him and Joker. Joker's not a ball stopper.
He had a ball
but everybody's still moving.
Mm-hmm.
And they can run
everything through him too.
And they can run
everything through him.
This is crazy.
Yeah, but just looking
at the two offenses,
it seems like Serbia,
constant motion,
guys on the move.
USA, somebody get it.
Yeah, ISO, ISO ball.
Playing a hero.
Who are they putting?
They subbed in KD.
KD in the game.
That's it.
Sydney.
Sydney breaks another world record.
She breaks her own record.
McLaughlin.
Love her.
Of course she did.
50.37.
Yeah, Sydney is her.
She is.
Some good news for her.
You saw they already cut it before they even get rid of the ball.
No way.
Oh, if he would have hit that.
Right?
Oh.
Y'all got to get a bucket, bro. Team USA down nine right now. Katie in the game. No way. If he would have hit that. Y'all got to get a bucket, bro.
Team USA down nine right now. KD in the game.
Slim Reaper.
Who's in? KD,
Curry,
and B, Drew Holiday.
Relax. Relax. LeBron.
Give it to him. Go. Go. Go.
Go. Swing. Swing. No rotation.
No rotation.
Wow. Lex, no rotation.
That's an Olympics.
But why did they say three people to your...
This is the Olympics.
No rotation.
It is.
Why?
Well, it's the Olympics and you're already down.
And you're a fucking elite athlete.
Rotate, get out there.
So he's got...
But you got Steph Curry, he can do that shit.
So 13.
With Angen Dobrik, he's got, I think, nine points,
three for three.
All three for three from the three point line.
I'm rotating.
This guy's not the shooter.
That guy's the shooter.
And I go to him to pass him the ball.
Yeah.
But to your point, they sent three people at your pitch.
OK, why?
No. They're whooping your ass. Ah, you ain's. I said Yogi's. Why? No.
They were whooping your ass.
Ah!
You got to make that.
You ain't calling us to back it off.
Get up here.
You got to make that.
Do it for America.
Come on, Steph.
Oh!
You can't make that, bro.
Stop.
Relax.
You have 27 points right now.
He didn't maintain it.
He didn't need to take that one.
That's a heat check.
Maybe if they was down three or two.
Hey, he got 27.
Nah, he didn't need to take that one, I don't think.
Relax, Boggy.
That's attractive.
Mm.
Oh, no.
Oh.
Oh, no, Boggy, Boggy.
If Boggy Boggy would have hit that.
Boggy, ah!
Come on, get it back in the play.
Let's go, Boggy!
All security men are issues.
It's a lot of bad passes.
Oh, oh! He shot it! Two all in are issues. It's a lot of bad passes. Oh!
He said it!
Two all in that game!
Oh, no!
That's what you gotta do!
Pass KD.
San Fernando Valley legend.
Pass KD.
That's crazy.
San Fernando Valley legend.
Come on, six points.
That is crazy.
He had to make that.
He said it.
He had to.
Nope.
To Drew.
Lead down to six.
No, it's kind of smart now, because maybe Drew's going to start shooting the ball.
Let's go.
I just need him to shoot the ball. I don't think the ball rate pass cool
Shoot that goddamn ball to make the defense guards you man. Uh-oh
but uh
There we go, what do you call
Be turnt up right now. This is beautiful to see.
He called a hook.
He called a foul or a travel?
Travel.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, Embiid, 12 points right now.
Two for three from three.
He got three rebounds.
Oh, offensive foul, yeah.
He hooked him.
With the hook?
Yeah.
I've never seen Embiid like that.
I know.
Special A, no. Embiid, listen, I know. Special A, no.
And B, listen, I know Fred, listen, listen.
Listen, Fred's just gonna laugh at him so bad.
Oh, God. What are we doing?
That was so nasty. Did y'all just see that play?
That was so nasty.
Well, that could've hurt him, too.
Wow. He was so wide open, though.
AD's in. Ooh, AD on your kitchen.
I don't know how I feel. Mm, mm, mm, mm. Yeah, he ho wide open, though. AD's in. Ooh, AD on your kitchen. I don't know how I feel.
Mm, mm, mm, mm.

Mm, mm.
Look, you got your hands out. What you doing?
What kind of defense?
What you doing?
What kind of defense is that?
You gonna let him catch it? Let him...
That AD's bullshit.
No, that's the defense you teach your little kids.
Keep the ADs out of
Got you got you got you got you can't go there Oh, they're only down six, guys. Is it Bron? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shout out to Bron. Shout out to Bron for rocking the Asian, the angel
with the one sleeve leg.
Look, I like it.
We love a one sleeve, one leg sleeve.
The one leg sleever.
Like this.
Oh.
See, that's why.
That's why I said. But they're taller than you. Stop commentating. You were ahead's why. Oh, that's why I said.
But they're taller than you.
Stop commentating.
You're ahead of us.
Stop, girl.
I was like, what is he talking about?
I'm commenting.
I'm like, oh, shit.
Oh, no, we on that.
We on that.
See, they don't want to shoot.
Hell no.
You know what I'm saying?
Hell no.
Hell no.
We on that.
There we go.
What I'm saying is look, look, look.
When that ball goes around, when that ball goes around for them, that's spot on shooting.
When the ball goes around to our open guards, they're playmaking.
Hesitating.
They're hesitating.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're playmaking.
You got like, it seems like Derrick, Derrick and Bam are the two players that play together.
When they come in, they're coming in together.
What'd they call?
It's like a fucking combo package, a 4-4-4 package.
So come on.
Fucking fries, drinking a little sandwich.
Jason Tatum.
Still on the bench. Still on the bench.
Still on the bench.
Oh, he not getting in?
After, look, after halftime, you ain't got in,
you start looking up at the clock.
But that?
No doubt.
You start.
Yeah, you start.
You're like, I'm out of rotation.
Rotation's gone.
You start looking around in the crowd.
No doubt.
You like, I am in.
Hey, hey, hey, do you know this?
No doubt.
When you catch eye with somebody that stands and they do this,
what's up? Oh, shit. Hey, you know how you do catch out with somebody that stands there and do this. What's up?
Oh, shit.
You know how you do this?
This thing over here.
You know what's going on.
Hey, man, it's going to be all right.
Hold your head up, bro.
Is it the net or it's?
The empty shrug.
Kanye shrug.
Yeah, I don't know.
Oh, my God.
Ain't just walking the game, my biggest.
I was very familiar with that move. Oh, my gosh. That my god. He just walking the game, my nigga.
I was very familiar with that move.
Oh my gosh, that's funny.
During the last stages of my playing career.
Oh, that's a push.
KD.
KD.
Not a push.
KD.
We not.
No.
Hey, listen.
All right?
All right now.
All right?
I'm just being real, man.
All right?
I'm just so trying to understand why he was on the phone.
I'm going to be fake.
They going to make me call?
They going to make me call Marcus Carson?
You should have doubled.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Go to the car.
You got to go to the car.
You got to go get the other one.
Call Marcus Johnson.
You got to go get the other one.
Hey, man.
Both you motherfuckers are crazy.
Shout out to our stellar production team.
Always quick on their toes, ready to go.
If you go big, then you don't have to chase anybody because it's a switch.
Just switch everything.
It is a nine-point game with a minute to go.
And the third.
And the third.
We're going to tighten up.
Talking about 40-point blowouts, you can beat the dream team up.
What?
With Michael Jordan on it?
That ain't going to happen.
With Michael Jeffrey Jordan on it?
No.
You're serious? Nah? Nah. You serious?
Nah.
Nah.
You serious?
This team?
Nah.
Fuck out of here.
Who said that?
Who said that?
Man, yeah,
niggas actually saying it
on podcast.
Oh, I forgot.
The NBA niggas saying it.
The Serbian head coach
said it too,
but now it looks like
he was just...
He's being...
That's what he was doing. was just trying to play mind games.
He was playing mind games.
Yeah, the Serbian coach was trying to play mind games.
So before the game, Serbian national team coach said that we are playing against the best team in the history of national teams.
Cap.
On paper?
Full cap.
Oh, no, not even on paper.
Not even close to on paper. Full cap. Oh, no, not even on paper. Full cap. Not even close to on paper.
Full cap.
Don't they do this every year?
Yes.
Every Olympics?
Best team ever?
No.
Bam.
Two and threes, baby.
That's what we want.
Oh, man.
Bam.
What are we doing, America?
Every year, every Olympics, they always challenge this team against the...
Yeah, the 92 Dream Team.
And I personally don't even think...
No fucking way.
Ooh! Let's go!
That was an L one?
Hey, listen, Steve, I'm explaining the dude.
Listen, if they lose and Jason Tatum don't play,
are you fucking kidding me?
Calvert don't play.
Tatum don't play.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Wow.
I don't... I, um... Derek White called for us. I don't Calvert, don't play. Are you fucking kidding me? I don't...
Derek White, Calvert.
I don't have...
I don't have...
I don't have the 92 team as the best team.
You got the 96 team.
I have the 96 team as the best team.
Me too.
In your opinion, why is that 96 squad the best team?
Because 1 through 12...
That 96 squad was...
1 through 12...
Let me see.
Who was on it? It was 12 all-N players shaq hakeem hakeem and shaq came off i know we've talked about this before but like why will they not just
bring the best 12 players in the league and just see that's what they did that's what they've been
doing two times and then they just stop i know we talk about it all the time because they keep
winning gold but i'm just like, why?
What's so funny is the worst player on that Olympic team, the 96 team, would be Grant Hill.
Yeah.
And he was cooking.
Because he was a young kid.
And he was cooking.
He was a young kid.
He was only two years into the NBA.
So he would have been the weakest link on.
Yeah, Grant Hill, 23 years old, on that squad.
Well, listen.
Right?
That's how that team looked. They were
so good that Grant Hill,
who was an all-star the first
two years, he was the weakest. Okay,
so this is 96. Yes, we got 96
versus the 2024
squad. Yeah, that was a nice squad.
Damn. Mitch Richmond, like
Mitch Richmond, you know what I mean?
It's Peyton.
Peyton, Pitt, Pippen, Richman, David Robinson.
We're good, didn't we?
Yeah.
So USA down 13.
Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O'Neal came off the bench.
Reggie Miller was on the team.
And they both averaged 30 and 10 that season.
Damn, Carl Malone.
Mitch Richman and Reggie Miller, both sharpshooters.
I should be on that team.
I don't remember this team.
Oh, yeah.
This team would be.
Kill them.
Kill them.
It wouldn't even be close. They would destroy them. It wouldn't even be close. Like, this is what I'm talking on that team. Oh, yeah. This team would... Kill them. Kill them. It wouldn't even be close.
They would destroy them.
It wouldn't even be close.
Like, this is what I'm talking about the Olympics.
Jordan's not even on that team.
The worst player, like, when we're talking about the role players, the role players here
will be Grant Hill, Reggie Miller, Gary Payton.
Pippen.
Pippen.
Barkley 2 at 33.
Oh, Gary Payton
didn't supposed to be
on this team.
It was supposed to be
Big Dog.
Glenn Robinson,
Big Dog.
And the replacement
was Gary fucking Payton.
Hall of Famer,
three,
compared to this group.
This is what I'm talking about.
But it's like,
they took role players
from teams.
Now they're like, they're like they're like
are like extra extra role players instead of taking the best players and asking them to maybe
do something different well usually all of those players are from different teams on the 96 now
most of those guys on the other side most of these guys are teammates and shit so before you had a clear cut of who was the best player on the other team
so you could pick who the all-stars was.
Now you don't know who the best player on each team is.
You got three players from the Boston Celtics,
and only one of them is an all-star.
One of them is an all-star.
It don't even make no sense.
And he's not even playing.
And he's not even playing.
And they won the championship.
The best players not playing, the role players are playing.
Unbelievable.
A lot of minutes.
It's a lot of explaining.
Starting.
They got a lot of explaining.
My question was this one with this 96.
I was always confused about Dream Team 2.
Why is this team called Dream Team 3?
Right.
And that FIBA team that was a 94 team,
they called them the Dream Team 2,
which it wasn't even an Olympic team.
This was the Olympic team.
This should have been the Dream Team 2, not Dream Team 3.
Right.
So when people say, well, everybody forgets about the Dream Team 2.
Well, they weren't
in the Olympics.
I mean, the Dream Team 2
because it wasn't the
four-year team.
First of all,
Dream Team 3
was smack Dream Team 2.
Oh, my goodness.
But yeah, I don't...
I have the 96 team.
I don't have the...
It's not looking good.
Not looking good.
But that's the thing.
Because I guess Dream Team was the very first team
and it has Michael Jordan on it.
With the NBA players on it.
It has the founding fathers on it.
Yeah.
Michael Jordan and Larry Bird and Magic.
So that becomes the gold standard,
but I think the 96 team is the gold standard
because Magic wasn't Magic,
and Bird wasn't Bird at that moment in time.
Now, if they're healthy, and they were playing their game,
then, yeah, obviously, the standard would be different,
but those two guys were retired.
So it's not the Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Magic that we know.
Yeah.
Team USA down 11, nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
Oh, fellas, let's go.
For what?
Who's going?
I'm going to send some money.
Oh, there we go, Brontavious.
For what, though?
Just because?
Brontavious?
Yeah.
Brontavious.
Thank you, Colin.
One of my many dignitaries. Yeah. Seeontevi is an appreciation. Thank you, Colin. One of my many nicknames.
Yeah.
Geez.
I see how much is engagement.
Nah.
When he's talking about some money, he's like,
Not like this.
He's like, some money, niggas.
Line up, nigga.
Ew.
Somebody roll, sit, sit.
Tate will go look at Gray here like, yo, hey, for 2028,
lose my number, nigga.
My number.
Facts.
All the way.
Because how you? Well, like, why do you have it? Because you was my number, nigga. My number. Facts. All the way. Because how you...
Well, like, why do you have it?
Because he was supposed...
Why do you have it?
You was supposed to be the...
You got him looking crazy right now.
Because he was the best player.
He was the second best player in the last Olympics.
Come on, y'all.
He was supposed to be having the torch in this Olympics
to be benched like he's a regular dude.
That's crazy.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Damn, they already got.
They already got.
Overtime got it.
They already listened.
Whether they win or lose this game, this is going to be the conversation.
Wow.
This is going to be the conversation no matter what.
I don't understand it.
No matter what.
What I'm saying is the coaching staff already. I don't understand it. No matter what. The coaching staff, what I'm saying is
the coaching staff
already like,
if you were a basketball fan
and you're an American
basketball fan,
you're not actually
looking at the team.
This is probably
the first time
where the team
is like,
hmm.
Oh.
This is,
that was a bad shot. It's turning into desperation time. That was a This is... That was a bad shot. It's turning into desperation time.
That was a bad shot.
That was a bad shot.
It's been looking nasty, but...
It looks...
It's like it became a Golden State thing.
I mean, watch, people are gonna...
Y'all said I was crazy, man.
Mm.
Y'all said I was crazy.
Let's go, Joker!
When they depict this team...
Well, everyone was like, what the fuck is this team?
Of course we all thought they were going to win gold, but...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, they are going to win gold.
Euro, we are Eurocentric now.
This is a Eurocentric world,
and we are now eating crepes.
We're eating crepes.
Women is still very much dominant over here. I'm sorry. We eat crepes. But I mean on your side. We eating crepes. Because women is still very much dominant over here.
I'm sorry.
We eating crepes?
Like, you just tell me Jason Tatum can't give you what Devin Booker is giving you?
Almost in every sport, look.
What is Devin Booker giving you?
They don't want to shoot.
They just passing the ball.
They don't want to shoot now.
And you're going to let him shoot?
Cool.
No.
Cool.
No.
Cool. We'll live with that. You ain't lying. We'll live with that.
You ain't lying. We'll live with that.
This is the thing I was talking about. Remember I was talking about when the pecking order's already been established and the coach decides to
throw in pieces that don't belong and players be like, aw man, we ain't...
Duck in on his little ass.
Duck in on his little ass. You gotta make that, Joker.
You gotta make that.
That would have been big.
You gotta make that.
Serbian national team fan, Rashad McCants.
That's the bucket.
Oh, shit.
And one.
Who was that?
You see how white, having Burton and Drew at the end cheering?
That's supposed to have been their job the whole time.
Stop that.
Stop that.
Stop that.
No, it does.
I'm sorry.
I agree with you.
They're going to call that an N-1?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That would have been great cheering.
Oh, yeah.
Because...
Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh. Ooh. Ooh's going to hurt. Or should he get one because they made it? No, he should get one.
One.
He gets one?
And then we get the ball back?
No.
Damn.
Is it AAU?
Get the ball back?
Two, triple 10.
Damn, that could have been ugly.
I don't know if y'all saw it, but in that France-Germany game,
Germany shot, the shot clock went off, but it hit the rim.
Ref blew it dead, but they ended up scoring on the play
and ended up still giving them those two points.
Damn. Yeah, they caught it dead, but they ended up scoring on the play and ended up still giving them No two points. Damn, they caught you they caught it day boom and then they
Flagger to be honest, I don't think that's a bucket. Yeah, they counted it
Before because he wasn't shooting he wasn't shooting the ball. It all depends on when they called it.
No, they didn't score it.
Did they score it? No.
Yeah, they gave it to him.
They did.
Two points?
Yeah.
No, they gave him three.
I think that was a flagrant two on Joker, just my opinion.
How is it a flagrant two?
And it was up 11?
Because we need USA to win.

This didn't make sense.
But they keep sending a double to someone they don't need.
You can't go from cheering to being all frustrated.
You know what I'm saying?
That's just abnormal.
That's what you're doing.
No, I'm not.
I'm calm.
We're calm over here.

As a player, like Jason Tatum,
he's sitting there watching this game and is like,
I know I can make a difference.
Yeah.
If just given the opportunity.
This is for... This is just for the documentary, man.
And you know the bad part about this?
This is for the documentary.
You know who this documentary is for. The real last. And you know the bad part about this? This is for the documentary. You know who's documentary this is for.
The real last day.

And he going to be in the game next game.
Who, Taylor?
You see how they ain't played white in the last eight minutes?
God damn it, you can start the game off like that too.
Right, you don't need him in there.
This group is playing great defense.
He got 34 on the A& there. I'm confused. This group is playing great defense. He got 34 on A-R-S.
Yes, Steph.
Let's go.
What's the record?
I think Melo had 37.
Melo?
What's Lisa's record?
I'm just playing.
I'm just playing.
I'm just playing.
Steph, 34 points, eight rebounds.
We knew this moment was coming.
Eight rebounds.
Steph just been chilling in the cut.
Yeah. Y'all need to book it right here now. You need to stop fucking around. Oh, now it's y'all. Okay, rebounds. Steph just been chilling in the cut. Yeah.
Y'all need to book it right here now.
You need to stop fucking around.
Oh, now it's y'all.
It's not we.
Oh, backcourt.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's a bad call.
That was a bad call.
KD locking up.
KD hit the ball, but we'll take it.
We'll take it all.
Lockdown defense.
We're gonna take all the calls.
Kevin Wayne Durant.
Give him a tech.
Give him a tech.

He tried to get it.
Yeah, he didn't touch that.
He bounced it.
He hit it out of his hand, yeah.
And then he bounced it.
America.
We're going to take it, whatever it was.
America.
Yeah.
What happened?
Kick them all out.
I'm just looking at the coach.
The coach.
They score right here, it's over.
Get some text.
Yeah, put the game away.
Who's taking the shot?
I want Steph to hit a three.
You got to give it to Steph.
Steph Curry.
Future Laker.
Wardell, Steph Curry.
Future Laker.
After this experience, how can you not?
This stressful-ass game.
All right, LeBron.
We're going to do LeBron.
This is the group.
Oh, that's a sidestep.
That's a sidestep.
This is the group.
I don't know.
Steph, get the ball.
Oh!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
Why they not doubling LeBron?
What?
40.
Can you hear what he said?
Unless he got his momentum.
Did you say he's 40?
Throw it to him.
Why do you have...
What are we doing here?
Why is Booker guarding?
Because I switched.
They switched.
Okay, well, switch back.
And throw it to him sooner, bro.
Yeah, that should have been...
That should have been past a long time ago.
Wasted four seconds.
He ain't that's it. That should have been past a long time ago. Wasted four seconds. Mm-hmm.
He ain't that damn strong.
He had to get it over and beat.
1-0-4.
Big stop. Big stop.
Need it.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Good.
This is it right here, though.
Overplay. Overplay.
Bucket.
And one.
Oh, my God.
What the fuck was that?
That's Boggy Boggy, bro.
Boggy Boggy.
Boggy.
It's getting a little tense here.
What kind of play was that?
Now all we need is a stop.
Reach in.
Oh, okay.
That was a nice move.
You need a stop and a bucket.
Just a stop.
I don't even go in.
Just to be cool.
We just want to be cool.
We don't ask for too much.
You just need a stop. You got to get a be cool. We don't ask for too much. We just need to stop.
We got to get a stop first.
We time out, get it together.
Boggy Boggy coming through.
Damn, I thought he had like 30.
He need to get at least 200 mil.
At least.
What team is he on right now?
Hawk.
Atlanta.
They just gave Wagner 230.
He definitely a 200.
All right.
Under a minute remaining. He don't spargo, right? No, he didn 200. He definitely earned his love. Under a minute remaining.
He doesn't start though, right?
Nah, he didn't.
Yeah, he didn't.
He just learned
him off the bench.
It was pretty boy in him.
Yeah, they be bringing
him off the bench
for no damn reason.
Boggy, boggy.
Come on, Katie.
You and your nicknames
would be rude.
Yeah, he said most.
All right, give it to Steph,
please.
Bring that African boo.
You got that hair?
Oh, that's bucket.
I know that.
Yo!
Thank you! Like, thank you! Doing man that wasn't even a switch. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. No
Okay, yeah, hold it hold it hold it even a switch two-point game. Oh, this is oh
Kurt I mean step you should have shot a bitch. You're not oh
This is nasty. Oh, there we go. You get two free time one
Give me continuation We get a foul? Why do you foul right there?
Is it off?
Did he get a foul?
It didn't have a foul?
No, I mean they had a foul but it was...
But why did they take so long to do it today?
But if they would have shot the ball, that would have been for the bounce a little bit.
But if they were going to foul shouldn't they have done it earlier?
They should have done it a long time ago.
Yeah.
Who, who, who?
What?
Did Bam shoot free throws? Mmm. This is a deep end ago. Yeah. Who, who, who? What? Does Bam shoot free throws?
Mm.
This is a defense sub.
You're about 80%.
I don't mind if you take LeBron out right now.
It's not a defense sub.
You take it.
I don't mind if you take LeBron out.
What?
Yeah, yeah.
I ain't saying take LeBron out, but I'm just saying, I don't mind.
You know, they shooting free throws.
Gil, have faith.
And beat that bad at free throws?
I'll step at the line.
Oh, that was a defensive substitution.
We good. We good.
Wait, that was a defensive substitution?
Why did they foul?
Because MB just got scored on last position.
So if you Serbia, you let all that time burn off the clock.
You could just foul.
That's weird.
You deserve this.
I don't think they really understood.
You deserve this.
Maybe that wasn't it.
I think they was... Yeah, that wasn't. I think they were.
Yeah, that's the Curry I like.
The one smiling, not the one that's looking up in the sky.
With his little blue eyes.
There it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, Steph.
I think they were thinking it was going to live with the four second differential.
But so then, yeah.
Not fouling.
They was just going to play it out, but then they waited.
I don't think he meant to foul right there.
That's a hard one because if you shoot it, like...
They got a timeout.
But if I'm shooting it, remember the four seconds is three, two...
Damn, yes!
We did it!
No, you don't get to clap for them.
Why?
No, you don't get to clap for them.
We did it!
Aww.
Oh, they had us there.
Can you see?
Oh, we gotta put it higher.
Bouncy dawns early light.
What so proudly we hailed.
Why are you so upset?
Hey, everybody.
I need everybody.
I need everybody.
Hey, y'all got a scene, god damn it.
The anthem's on.
Don't nobody care about it.
I know this is the first time it's at the end of the game.
Don't nobody care about it.
I know it was supposed to be at the end of the game.
Everybody's tired of America.
Oh, my God. Oh. Whew. That was a good of the game. Everybody's out of America. Oh, my God!
That was a good one.
That was a good one.
How proud are you of your country?
Overcoming the odds.
Bouncing back.
Of his country.
This show is presented by Underdog Fantasy.
Team USA, the underdogs of the second. Embiid.
Embiid.
Everything I done said, brother, I am sorry.
Overcoming the odds.
No Tatum.
No Tyrese Halliburton.
I am team. I am team Embiid. Oh, boy, that was a mother. Overcoming the odds. No Tatum. No Tyrese Halliburton. I am team.
I am team MB now.
Ooh, boy, that was a battle.
I want an MB USA jersey.
They lost that game too.
I'm going to fight you.
I'm going to fight you and say anything bad about MB.
They lost that game too.
What type of win do they have to have to earn a win in your eyes?
The type of wins they was talking about before we even started talking about all this shit.
Blowout.
I thought a win is a win.
Man, we don't want to hear none of that shit.
We won that game.
We won that game.
If y'all don't blow them out by 10, they won.
They show a lot of heart.
If you don't blow them out by 10, they won.
The other team wins.
By default.
If we get our goal like this, we'll be thinking about serving.
No.
You got to get through France first.
Enough.
That was the hardest game right there.
That was the hardest game.
Steph Curry, 36 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists.
LeBron Raymond James.
From 3, I'm sorry.
He was 9 for 14 from a 3-point line.
Yes, Steph.
LeBron Raymond James Sr., 16 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists.
Yeah, triple-double.
Triple-double, bro.
Oh, that's what they said.
They said you got to sit down so Ron can get a triple-double.
That's not why.
Don't think that's why.
We're in the same position, dog.
Don't think that's why.
Oh, you're not subbing that one.
I still want him to sub.
Embiid, 19 points, 4 rebounds.
Still need answers about the Jason Tatum DMP. 19 points, 4 rebounds. You get to keep the passport.
19 points, four rebounds?
He gets to keep the passport.
Okay.
No, we'll take the 19 points.
We needed that.
Joker, 17, 11, and four in the losing effort.
All right, 17, five rebounds, 11 assists.
Bet you can see Rudy tomorrow.
I made an amazing... What, a Saturday?
I bet you see Rudy.
I bet you see Rudy.
Nah. I bet you see Rudy. He gonna get good. He not gonna see Rudy. That was a big bucket right there. I made an amazing with a Saturday Bitch Saturday
That was a big bucket right there you're putting up again give him the rock
ever dover five that was
That's the five that's the star hurry right looker Katie LeBron and be sorry a dance
Our starting five.
Steph wasn't supposed to do that. That's a good five.
Steph wasn't supposed to do that.
Never a doubt.
They was banking on stopping and Bede and LeBron.
That's the point.
You can't stop them all.
That's the advantage you have, right, as an American.
As an American.
Steph was, like, messing up the advantage.
You should be winning by 30 then. Now, this, as an American. Yes, that's what it's like. Like, messing up the advantage. You should be winning by 30 then.
Exactly.
This is the biggest point.
The reason that these guys are open
is because when a swing swings, a superstar is getting it.
Is making a play, making a tough shot.
Right?
So when you have two dudes in here
who don't hit shots like that, or they're
scared to take shots because they're role players,
when you double, you fuck up, and we pass, and he's like, uh, yeah, what now?
But that, that, that shot we had is to me, whoever's in that spot, regardless of who
y'all saying is better than the guys that y'all saying play overseas.
Not necessarily the guy that's in that spot that y'all are talking about.
Swing, swing guy.
No, that's not the superstar, but he's on the USA team.
Okay.
He's still an NBA player that's better than those guys
who are on the other team.
Not necessarily.
No, he's not better than the guys on their own team.
Not by Donovan.
Okay.
I'm talking about the other guys.
The regular guys.
We're talking about when they're playing over.
Even the kids.
There's no excuse for it.
No, they're better as players, but not as shooters at these guys.
No.
So when it's going swing, swing, you got them there shooter and shooter.
Here it's passer and passer.
That's the problem.
It's because they're deflecting.
That's why the last eight minutes, this five stayed in.
The deflectors of the ones that you're talking about, the deflectors, are the same type of guys
that are the local, native players on the national team.
They're the same guys.
They're the guys that are not shooters.
They're not the guys that are making plays,
but it ain't no excuse because you guys are still better.
You should still be able to make a play.
Derek White, whoever the other guys are.
You are making a play when the play is already made.
I already did this.
I'm giving it to you.
Why are you now trying to make a play back to me?
Shoot it.
Because that's the international play they're trying to play like.
You're supposed to shoot it.
That's not how Serbia was playing.
No, the shot was for you.
And they shot it.
They're shooting it.
You're passing it.
But that's that Boston Celtics over-drive.
Over-drive pass shit.
In all them threes, but they're not shooting.
I mean, today they shot more.
They think they're going to get wide open threes.
He does.
Yeah.
And he gets those shots wide open, too.
Yeah.
But Jason Tatum not out there to get him.
Do that.
Shoot that shit.
Jason Tatum is not out there at all.
Be a Boston shooter.
Which is, I don't care that they won.
We need answers.
Yeah.
That's why they lost.
Oh, because what was the excuse last time that he didn't play?
It was some bullshit.
So he just went on and he said a bunch of line-up shit.
Kevin Durant had the four when Kevin Durant was playing in three right here.
Now what?
Yeah, I can't wait to hear what his excuse is now.
He going to pull something out of his ass. Yeah, I can't wait to hear what his excuses now he gonna make see don't pull some eyes
Like all right. Hey, hey Steve, you know the
Team you finish with do you might you might want to start them to Oh stardom so we can get on to it I was it with that was in be Brian
Katie no curry curry KD and book
And you wouldn't I don't even know Curry, KD, and Book. And Book. That was the end? That's what ended the game? Yeah.
And you wouldn't,
I didn't even know
Book was out there.
Yeah, because Book
didn't look the same either.
I wouldn't put,
I put Ant out there
instead of Book.
But he's still a threat.
Yeah, he can hit it.
He hit the shots.
He hit that shot.
Right, he hit that shot
at the top of the key.
So yeah, you need
that piece of software.
Can we just take a moment
to salute the great
nation of America?
That makes it bad
because now
there's still a 4x100, right?
Yeah. So now those guys can veto him winning. So he because now there's still a 4x100, right? Yeah.
So now those guys can veto him winning.
So he's not going to run the 4x1?
No, no, no.
Because he wanted to save face for his 200 that he probably, because he said we didn't.
So he says, says Noah Lyles confirmed he tested positive for COVID at 5 a.m. Tuesday morning Paris time.
He, quote, kept it close to the vest because he didn't want competitors to know he was sick.
His mom, medical staff,
knew he had it. He quarantined at a hotel
the last few nights. He was going to run regardless.
That was two nights.
He quarantined two nights.
Yeah, but to his point, you still got the
four-by-one to run. Yeah.
And you have COVID.
So now those
teams can say,
we don't want to run him.
Everybody can be like,
no, we don't want him to run.
You're passing the baton. You wanted to
save face for your 200
to jeopardize gold for your team.
Yeah.
Well, they have an alternate because someone already ran
the 4x1 in his place.
Because if you're an opponent now, you're going to be like,
I don't want Kobe. You're going to give yourself a chance. I don't want him on there.
Yeah.
He could have kept that.
He kept it close to the vest.
You ain't keeping it close enough.
You meddled. The race you raced was the one that we all really cared about.
I didn't really...
Yeah, the 100.
We didn't care about your 200.
The 100...
For some reason, the 100 is like...
Is it more special?
I don't know.
Shorter distance.
But what I'm saying is...
No, but his race is the 200.
That's what I'm saying.
I know.
We got to watch this, mom.
Everyone just expected him to win the 200.
The 100, him winning, was a surprise.
Not a surprise, but the 200 is everyone is, like, shocked that he didn't win.
Oh, I thought the fastest man in the world is the 100.
100.
It is, but not really.
200 was usually claimed.
He wanted to do both, like Usain Bolt did both.
Michael Johnson and Usain Bolt.
But nobody ever...
LeBron James.
But did anybody ever, like,
like, really care
about Hussein's 200?
Or was it always
the one I...
It was the two.
It was the fact that he won...
Because the two
is a longer stride.
Both.
It's your stride.
Yeah, it was the fact
that he won both, like,
like, two, three
straight Olympics.
Yeah, we...
It's like, we always...
But what's bad about that
to your point now is...
So are you only telling us that now because you got bronze, right?
So if you would have won gold, would you still be saying,
I tested positive for COVID?
Probably.
I don't know.
I mean, he said all his other ailments after he won gold last time,
so he might as well throw it out there.
Let's shift it back to some winners.
You're right.
He's still a winner. He is a winner. Joe winners. You're right. He's still a winner.
He is a winner.
Joe.
Come on, man.
He's still a winner.
Not the most recent event.
Team USA.
Okay, okay.
Overcoming the odds.
Okay.
Greatest underdog story in American history.
Against a tough Serbian squad,
reigning MVP Nikola Jokic,
we battled back.
Yeah.
The squad had only been together for about a month and a half. Had battled back. Yeah. Squad has only been together
for about a month and a half.
Had to understand
feeble rules.
Be salty.
Had to be out in France.
Salty.
Against their will.
Representing their country.
Who deserves the most credit
for this Team USA win?
Embiid.
Credit?
Embiid,
Braun,
Steph.
Steph,
Steph,
Kurt,
Ward,
Steph,
Embiid. I mean, Steph was 5 for, Curry, Ward, Steph, Embiid,
I mean...
Steph was five for 20
from three
entering this game.
Whoever made the decision
to put that five out there...
I'm feeling like it was both.
I would say,
I would say
Curry because he kept
hope alive.
Yeah.
Like,
there was moments in the game
where
we needed that three.
Every time he shot that three,
we needed it.
We needed it, yeah.
Because whatever happened,
it could have been a real blowout, right?
This could have been a 20-20-something blowout,
right, the way it looked.
But he always hit a three that kind of kept us...
Yeah....kept us there.
So, I think 5 for 20 from three entering this game,
9 for 14 in this game.
We knew Steph was gonna get to cooking at some point.
Chef Curry, give me my money.
Give me my money.
I'm going to say Curry.
Because even some of the shots we said,
that's a horrible shot. But when you look
at it, it's like...
If he made it, we needed it.
So who deserves the least credit
for this team you're going to say win?
Steve Curry.
Just size so busy. Good call. Steve Curryr. Steve Kerr. Just saw his soap business.
He missed. Steve Kerr.
He knew. He was supposed to say move over dog.
Alright, I get it. Dynasty, all that.
Yeah.
And the bad part about it
is no matter the gold,
the narrative is
gonna be Jason Tatum
and
how this team was played.
That's going to be the question.
It's been a bad year for Jason, man.
I know.
Remember I told you, I said, man, for some motherfuckers who won championships, the two
star players.
Bad year right now.
This has been a bad summer.
Yeah, it's crazy.
It's not like they got to enjoy the summer right out like hell yeah.
We used to have champs. They hell yeah. We some champs.
They both sitting there.
Both champs.
It's like.
First of all, he got two DNPs on the Olympic team.
And his homeboy, who is his running,
didn't even get the call to come to the cookout.
He like, hey, where you at, bro?
I'm at the cookout.
You didn't get the call?
I know.
He calling here.
He like, hey, dog, man, what you doing?
How's your day over there, man?
How is you and your girl,'m at the cookout. You ain't get to call? I know he calling here like, hey, dog man, what you doing? How's your day over there, man?
How is you and your girl, man?
It's a bad look on Steve Kerr and the committee.
Yeah.
Like, I don't feel great as a basketball player.
I won the championship. I won the finals MVP.
I don't feel great.
Team over talent. Then you're looking at the players around you that are playing.
They were on the best team.
And you're like, I know he should not be playing.
Brandon Ingram felt the same exact way.
It makes you hate your teammate even though that's not your.
It's not even though it's not your spirit.
And it's not your teammate.
And it's not your.
I know that's what I said.
It's not.
You don't hate your teammate.
You just.
You hate. You hate that they happy. It's not. You don't hate your teammate. You just. You hate.
You hate that they happy.
It's like.
They happy.
Every time you hit a shot, you just be like.
Fuck.
Damn, man.
I know I'm not going in now.
I needed you to miss.
I needed you to miss.
Three in a row, bro.
And he made two in a row.
You're like.
Fuck.
I know this thing and I go.
I'm going in now.
When I originally said this's ago when you had the end of the bench all that clapping shit now that's all trust me
man it's real it's both when you sit there like dodges he just twist his
ankle just give me a shot yo just I just need one shot coaching. You just open, land on the ankle, be like, you got to call me in.
It does happen.
It happens.
It ain't right.
It's not from a bad place.
It's not a bad place.
It's not a bad place.
If someone's playing in front of you and they start playing bad, you start getting glad.
You're glad.
You're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's going to come out inside now.
He can't turn up.
Three turnovers in a row?
Coach, get his ass out the game.
Put me in.
When reporters be running up like, y'all never played,
because if y'all was at the end of the bench,
you will know, man, it's a toxic environment.
Very toxic.
Very toxic.
When someone starts messing up, you'll be like, you're ready.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, especially the starting five. We're about to get here. We're ready. Yeah. Hey, hey. Especially the starting five.
Like, yo, we about to get here.
We ready.
Ready.
That's us.
No, that happened to us in the beginning.
And then you always got this one.
Come on, man.
Y'all need to be out there hustling.
I was like, we all do.
Y'all was got the instigator.
Oh, yeah, the instigator.
We was like, shit.
Like, all right.
The instigator is the most vocal.
You took all five of us in at the same time.
The instigator is the important person to the bench where he's making sure, she's making sure
that Coach know someone's fucking up.
Someone's fucking up.
Come on, man, you got to catch that ball.
That's the third turnover.
And then if the coach signed on him,
he'd be like, this motherfucker right here, man.
Look at this little turnover.
Look, motherfucker, keep turning over.
Yeah, totally, motherfucker, put me in the game.
Damn, Spors is tough.
Someone in the chat said they're treating Tatum
like Giannis' brother.
Damn.
Damn. They are.
Oh. Ow.
Nah, the Masters actually played for Greece, though.
He was playing out there. He was moving.
He wasn't even on the Greek team.
Ow. Was he hurt?
He's hurt, right? Yeah, yeah.
Achilles. Yeah, he's hurt.
That's why. During the season, yeah.
But damn. And if you drew holiday and there were how you feeling
I'm a play dog by walking just like we are friends. We walking on eggshells
Right, you see I'm trying to like, you know, you know, you don't want to like baby
You like you cool and you know, I'm not cool. I know you're not cool the fuck. Wow me nigga. You know know I'm not cool. And I know you're not cool. Get the fuck around me, nigga. You know I'm not cool.
You trying to figure out how to... You know I'm not fucking cool.
Don't be asking me if I'm okay.
I guarantee you, if you ask their wife,
they'll rather be benched too.
Facts.
This Steve Kerr trying to sabotage...
Or do they think the Celtics are their team now?
Nah, nah.
You're trying to...
They're sabotaging the Celtics.
I don't like that.
Yeah.
There's a team morale thing for sure.
It does feel like some Boston They fuck it with Jalen.
They fuck it with Jason.
And then they got the two other ones on the team.
Making them feel like they feel like superheroes.
I don't like that.
That's what it's looking like from a Celtics fan's perspective.
But is it sabotage?
And we talked about this earlier this week.
Does it feel like it's going to be a motivational tool for both Tatum and Brown to come out and say,
we are smacking all of you. I hope it motivates them because they're both two amazing humans. So I'm like, I feel like it's going to be a motivational tool for both Tatum and Brown to come out and say we are smacking all of you.
We are two amazing humans, so I'm like
I feel like it's going to be motivating, but
from the outside looking in, that shit looks real weird.
I've been there before.
When your teammate
may be like, yo, go get
Gil, and you got your best friend, and he'll be like,
oh, don't put me in.
It's a hard situation.
I don't want to be the nigga. It's a hard situation. I don't want to be the nigga. Like, you know, we always feel bad just as a star player
when someone coming in and you do that.
Now, you ain't getting me, dawg.
No, not me.
No, not me.
Like, you don't mean to do it to him.
You just didn't want to come out.
Right, right, right.
So you do feel bad, like, man, you got me.
Hey, Brian, man, you want to go to dinner?
You want to go to dinner, man? On you, though. I want to go to the bad like man. You got me. Hey Brian, man. I mean you want to go to dinner you want to go to dinner?

And you want to jab me up after the game?
Stay ready.
Stay ready, J.P.
Don't put me in for five minutes.
The audacity.
Don't do it.
No, don't do that.
The audacity to have me on the team and not play me on the team, period.
Y'all, look.
I came all this way to watch y'all niggas play.
I could've did it in the hotel.
I championed my championship.
I didn't even feel great.
Like, think about the championship.
They got to something like that for what, a week?
Before you game into it, like, all right, finals MVP, Jalen Brown.
Man, what the fuck?
Hey, so, Jason Tatum, how do you feel about...
Man, what the fuck?
Like, wait, you just said him MVP.
Talk to him.
Let me get my emotions.
This is a great moment.
Now he's going to have to do it all over again.
Put your hands down.
Put your hands down, Ricky.
Put your hands down, Ricky.
This is all great.

We worked hard.
We worked hard.
We did this.
Please surprise Nydia.

Trying to be so political, man.
Man, I'm sweating, man.

You got to put your hands down.
Supporting our American brothers and sisters.
Oh, man.
You know what I'm saying?
Overcame the odds.
Defeated a gritty Serbian team.
Overcame the odds.
Rashad, you were cheering a little too hard for Serbia.
I was not cheering.
You were motivated with Serbia sports.
You were not cheering for Serbia.
You were cheering against the USA.
No.
So you were doing both.
Yeah.
I wasn't.
What do you call it?
I don't know what you would call it.
You got to figure out a new term for it.
Is it a new term?

So let's move on
quickly to this gold medal game.
Coming up Saturday,
Team USA versus France.
Rashad, you said that
you believe the French
has the potential
to win a gold medal.
After seeing how Team USA
performed against Serbia in the semis,
are you confident in Victor Wimbinyama and this French squad
to pull a major upset in their home country at the Paris Olympics?
They got a good chance.
They got a great chance to win this thing.
Got good players.
Got a good...
Wimby.
Girl, Sean, y'all boosted that. Wimby. Gershon Yabusele.
I've been
Fournier.
You know,
I like the chances, man. I like the
chances. I like the chances.
He's been named Rudy.
She said I didn't say Gabor.
Did you not say Rudy?
No, I didn't say Rudy.
She said two.
Why was he not the next one? Because Fournier is better. No, I'm not even saying that. I said two. No, she said two. I remember that. I said two.
But why was he not the next one?
I said Rudy Gobert.
Because Fognac is better.
Oh, my God.
Fognac.
Fognac.
I like Fognac.
I mean, they don't have a...
I mean, to be honest, they don't have a Jokic that can, like, really put so much pressure
on the defense and then find...
They don't have that guy, right?
You know, when we talked about Serbia,
it's still Jokic because what Jokic brings is he's going to be making plays to people
that we don't supposed to be guarding.
He's going to make other players look very well.
They just don't have it over there.
And the France team, they're young.
They're young, but, you know,
2028, they might be a problem, right?
Because you're going to have
Wimby veteran at that point, right?
Then you're going to have Bali.
Then you're going to have
the two kids that just got drafted.
They're going to have
four years of development.
So that France team
is going to be looking forward.
They're going to be dangerous in 2028.
But here's... They earned
their silver. So...
Now,
U.S. has to get off to a better start.
They can't start off slow like
they did today. They're playing
against France.
They're going to have the fans behind them.
It's going to be loud. They're going to be rowdy.
25. Are we going to
win gold? Yes.
Marshawn going to be there stealing LeBron's applause
again.
I don't care about you looking at me like that. We are going to win gold.
They got to start with the right five.
Start the right five.
Friends don't have those type of shooters either.
Who plays more minutes
in the gold medal game Tatum or go bear
You can't do back-to-back go bears to this not back-to-back I play Oh
That's not impossible
Some doctor strange shit ifum don't play again,
that he didn't change the whole riff and the timeline.
He didn't play the other day.
But there's not back-to-back games.
Nigga, you smell like french fries.
So now they're just playing mind games
with Jason Tatum at the Olympics?
At the Olympics.
What the fuck?
Why don't you fucking run and start the gold medal?
Like, why are you playing mind games
with anybody at the Olympics?
Holly ain't played either, right?
Exactly.
The last two games.
But he's one of the players that he knows.
I know he's probably like, well, I mean, the first couple games, he's like, well, damn, right?
I mean, I can play those.
I can do literally, yeah, four scores.
Right, because every time I've gotten in, I've been hitting some big-ass threes, and I move the ball, and I make plays.
So what you're asking him to do, he just physically can't.
I can do that.
And I'm bigger. So,
me not playing, but I guess at this point
in time, he's... Check it out.
I'm just here to cheer, give him a goal,
fucking I'll see 2028. Yeah, at this point, he's probably like,
I don't want to play. 2028, I am the point guard on his team.
No, he is. He's like, I don't want to play.
Too much pressure. It's way too
much pressure at this point. Because you've got to have a certain type of confidence to step into that role, like, to be like's like, I don't want to play. Too much pressure. Yeah, leave me over here. It's way too much pressure at this point. Leave me over here.
Because you've got to have a certain type of confidence
to step into that role, like, to be like,
no, I'm ready to step in.
Any shot I get, I'm ready to give me 15 points out of...
You don't got that confidence.
But I'm saying that Holley's a way better shooter.
Like, I mean, it's...
Yeah.
Like, Jesus Christ.
But is he ready for the moments?
Yeah.
Because every time, when he get in, he hit shots.
It's just weird.
How many points did Eric White have? Zero. I don't even say zero. No, he hit shots It's just weird. How many points there white had?
zero
He hit a bucket. Yeah, I thought he hit a
Let me double check for I spoke to some more than
No, that was ooh zero
I mean, I'm mr. Drew Holliday. Derek White finished zero points, 0 for 2 from 3.
Drew Holiday hit the 3.
He had three points, 1 for 2 from 3.
I was getting myself too confused.
20 minutes for Drew Holiday.
6 minutes, 46 seconds for Derek White.
6 minutes for Derek.
Derek White played 6 minutes total in the game.
Steph Curry led Team USA 33 minutes.
We asked for two people.
I'm giving you information
To make your show more drew as more informative for the viewers It's three points three points and then wasn't has Tatum six minutes seven minutes six minutes 46 seconds
You know, they okay. I'm not mad at the signal. It just looked like that
He goes out there longer than he was supposed to be. Yeah
When you say six minutes, you be like,
Derry White?
Oh, all right.
He played six minutes?
He only played three.
46 seconds.
Yeah, that's the only thing.
It looked like he was out there a long time, though.
It seemed like he was out there a long time.
Like, his six minutes, he was probably minus 22.
Well, he fouled that three-pointers,
and then he didn't play anymore after that, I don't think.
In the All-Star game, he played more than all three.
Goddamn, you can't even play on the Olympics?
Well, we will see what happens in the gold medal game on Saturday.
LeBron Steph, Team USA taking on Victor Wimbanyama and the French squad.
