You've been doing everything. You've been busy. Yeah, man. I tell you, finally been on vacation. The newly engaged. Uh-huh. What else? Huh?

Oh, yeah When I had to look up which which finger do you Oh, oh, left. Left. You start dribbling. Left hand. Left hand. Turn towards. Turn towards. Yeah, yeah. I had to do that. And I was like, uh, okay. This side. This side.

Man. Wow. Yeah, it was nerve- you started forgetting everything when you... I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Why were you nervous? Yeah. I didn't know I see it coming. Huh? How was you nervous? Why were you nervous? My whole life.

Your whole life, what? Just going out. No, Gil. Going out. You have to do it. Going out the window. I'm going to take a sip. Y'all take a sip.

I'm going to take a sip because they take a sip. Like, just beginning. I'm just playing on just married life. You know what I mean? The funniest comment, though, was that it was like, is the ring real? I guess for a male, you're just getting it right. What do you mean? There's no wrong way.

There is a wrong way. For a female, there's a wrong way to propose? Today's? Yeah. How? Wait, wait. I don't know if he's talking about the proposal. Are you talking about the proposal?

The proposal. Oh. How? Well, there could proposal. Oh. How? Well, there could be wrong ways. How? If you have... Listen, there can be, I agree with you, yes. But if there's a ring involved and there's some thought process to the man doing it...

Yeah, you can't get that right. I mean, you can't get that wrong. But I agree, I agree, there are some horrible ways some dudes can propose. I agree. But in his case... Just don't give me the ring. Yeah, don't just be like, here you go. I've done that.

Yeah, here you go. Here you go. It's what you want. I've done that. I've mailed it through the mail. Shit, I do. You just mailed it through the mail? I mailed it through the mail, hey.

Give me that next day. Wow. Oh, so you want to get married. So I do, I do. Wow. So you like that, right? That's how I knew she wasn't the one. Or the part where it's like, here, because you've been stressing me, here. Yeah, so you want to get married. Oh, so I do, I do. Wow. Sweet, like that, right? That's how I knew she wasn't the one. Or the part where it's like,

here, because you've been stressing me, here. Yeah, yeah. Motherfucker go dig the ring out, nigga been in half the ring. Nigga been in half the ring. Go dig it out tomorrow, here you go, goddamn, here you go, shit. You've been bugging me, shit.

I'm just trying to figure out what I was. Yeah, you can get that. I guess as men, we just overthink it. Because it's still a childhood fantasy of a woman. So as a male you don't want to get that wrong. Right, oh, I want to be by some roses and this and this when he propose. We don't know that, cause it's not like you're going,

nah, just do what you can do. Niggas be like, alright. Yeah, because we not going to ask like, what's your fairytale proposal, right? That's not something that a man is going to ask. But maybe back in the day, I would say that type of a proposal is what a woman would be like, oh, my God, this is what I want. But sometimes it's just a simple one of, like, the so not expected to happen. I mean, Paris, right?

Yeah, it don't get no better. Oh, yeah, because she's from Paris, and she has an iPhone. That was perfect. I had a towel on her back, so I had to ring him. See, I had to ring right in here. Just one of these little pockets right here. I just had it in there, just walking around all day with it just wind shut. No bark?

Niggas started looking like I'm the police. I got coke on me. So when did you know? I've been practicing how to get on the knee, like hope my knee don't give out on me. Can't get up. So when did you know was the right time, since you had it in your pocket.

I didn't, because all the things you try to play, like, are we going to go there? You can do all that shit, right? Yeah, we went to the avatar, so I'm like, all right, right under the avatar, and then you start looking at everybody, like, this shit's too embarrassing. Then we hit the restaurant, like, it's too classy, this is too embarrassing.

for goals. I think they got 22, we got 21. Don't worry, we got two more coming, at least on the basketball side. We got them on total medals, though. So, less than a week remaining

before the closing ceremonies. Obviously, we're going to talk a ton of hoops, but we got to salute some of the legendary moments from the Paris Olympics so far. So, Cheryl, we'll start with you since you are a gold medalist, the only gold medalist on this very couch.

What's been your favorite moments from the Olympics so far? Oh, gosh, that's tough because it's been so many. But, I mean, I've got to roll with the GOAT, Simone Biles, and the women's gymnastics team. Okay. Simone is just in a class by herself, what she's been able to do and just her redemption from Tokyo. I don't know.

She's just amazing. It's hard to pick one because I thought Katie Ledecky, I think, is... Forced right goal. Yeah, like, incredible. But I'll tell you one that really isn't about U.S., but one that really stood out to me, and that was the Nigerian women's Olympic team, the first African team to make the quarterfinals in the Olympics.

Okay. When they beat Canada the other day. I just, I thought that was such a special moment for them having played in so many Olympics and being able to celebrate, but to them in that moment, that was like them winning a gold medal. I thought that was pretty special to see.

Their reward is facing Team USA. I didn't get there, but the fact that they made it. For sure. So, yeah. For sure, for sure. Brandon, how about yourself?

What have been your favorite moments from the Olympics so far? Of course, Simone. Of course, track and field. But the one that stood out to me was the rugby, the women's rugby USA team. They won at the last second on the run. I think she did like an 80-yard run and won. That was great. And then seeing my old teammate Chase Budinger play for the beach volleyball. So yeah just seeing that, seeing you know

Katie kill, the USA team kill, everybody's doing good. So but it's been some good moments though. Very great moments. Kay how about yourself? I'm not gonna say everything. You know it's been great Olympics so far, but Young lady from st. Lucia they won 100 First medal ever. Yes for the that's that's huge. Yeah, right first medal ever for st. Lucia like this Julian Alfred

Yeah, now she was got her she was not got her she shoot shit with nobody close everybody was fighting for second. Yeah, so No, it's that I Yeah, no, but I was talking about this morning like everybody on the gymnastics and basketball all these other athletes and I Tell the shit the best athletes in that motherfucker them synchronized swimmers. Hey, hey listen man. Hey, they were motherfucking doing that smooth criminal Michael Jackson shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, watch them.

Yeah. Yo, that shit, that is impressive. Be on the water that long? Yeah. And then sink like that? No, that shit gangster. Like, that shit is impressive

to say the least. That and water polo is probably some of the hardest shit going. Right? That, them two is, yeah some of the hardest shit going. Water polo. Right? Water polo. That, them two is, yeah, right?

Holding on tight. That's hard. Pushing you down under water and shit. You like, no, Jack. Slap, ah! The punching elbows, all the underwater. Yeah, yeah, that shit rough, but. You gotta protect your junk in water polo.

Yeah, them synchronized swimmers, though. You know, I be watching off-brand. I be watching the diving, the platform. Yo, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's

like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like. Yeah, them synchronized swimmers, though. No, I be watching off-brand. I be watching the diving, the platform. Yo. That's what the Olympics is for, though. Yeah, creativity, man. Four times a year

we get to watch. So shout out to the track, the swimming, gymnastics, all that stuff, but the Turkish dude getting the medal with no equipment. Hand in his pocket.

I was watching the archery of him going. He's CIA. But you know, see, nobody knows that he's a killer. That's what he does. He don't close no eyes. No, seriously.

Most people got one eye closed and all that. I believe it. He has like 20 something medals. Yeah, he can pick you out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like that. Yeah, yeah, he's like that. He got his hand, his pocket.

How about you say you were on the ground in the Olympics. Which been your favorite moment? Closing one eye. He had that moment. Both eyes. He had both eyes open, nigga. Oh. He didn't blink a nut. Besides basketball,

you know what I mean? I like Noah. Was it Noah Lyles? Yeah. Right, because 24 hours or shit, I didn't even 24 hours, he came in second

so everybody was ready to throw their laughing narratives out. Oh, M.B. Twitter was ready? ready yeah so the fact that he actually when it counted pulled it out at the end and at that moment anytime anybody could have won so fate was on the side so the fact that you know during the during the time where everybody was ready to throw him under the guillotine you know he pulled out at one and then just another sport the uh parish judo team so i was in the airport when they were uh going so they were down oh two

so i guess it's the uh best of was it five no best of six i guess whoever wins what four i guess whoever wins four i know it was like i guess whoever wins four. I know, it was... I guess whoever wins four, but they were down 0-2, and then their best judo guy went third, he won. Then the next person ended up losing. It was something like that,

and then they had to win like the next two, and they ended up tying it, going to overtime. Like, just that... It was just crazy. They were going against, I think, Japan.

And then, like... Like Japan. And then, like, as in basketball, imagine being down 20 with five minutes left. Right? Just think about everything that needs to go right in it. So the person who was second to get the second win, that energy he brung, now all the pressure's on that girl at the end.

Right? Because we know it. No matter what you come back, if you miss that last shot, they blaming you. Not realizing, you know what I mean? So if they would have lost, they would have basically blamed her for not completing it. She completed it, got them to overtime,

and then obviously the best player pulled it out. And then you were actually, you were on the ground, there for the opening ceremony, saw the videos, got to see the Team USA ball pass by. What was that like? Hell yeah. Yeah, I went to sleep on the rest of it. I'm not, I'm the opening ceremony, saw the videos, got to see the Team USA ball pass by. What was that? Hell yeah. Yeah, I went to sleep on the rest of it. I'm not, I'm just being honest, man. Fuck the rest of y'all countries. I don't care, dog.

I'm there for USA. I was cheering USA so much, they had to give me my own flag. So somebody, so, you know, so, you know, I'm live, right? I got there, so the ceremony started at 7.30. I got there 4.30. 4.30 all USA'd up. Like, you know, I'm live, right? I believe it. I got there. So the ceremony started at 7.30. I got there 4.30. 4.30 all USA'd up.

Like, you knew I was out of town. Obviously, we all are, right? So the way I said, I said so I could, I'm on the stairway. So I didn't want to be locked in just in case shit popped off. Right? I'm fucking down. Right? So I'm screaming USA.

Everyone, like, when is the usa boat coming god damn who is it like because you know for the most part come on we're american dog right yeah right we're american school system we really don't know nothing about the other flags right so for the first time some of them countries i heard for the first time who where they from what sport are they playing so i'm i'm ignorant into least 90% of the countries that was on the post. I think a lot of countries out there may share that sentiment. No, no, facts. I'm not even going to deny that.

So I guess another American group that understood the goal here, rep your country. We got some extra flags over here for you, niece. And then it started raining. I didn't have no umbrella. So I was, I think that was just God. Yeah. So it rained the whole time. And I'm just soaked the whole, God trying to give you pneumonia.

Three hours. USA. What kind of hotel you stay at and get you no umbrella, dog? It wasn't raining at 431 I left. But normally they know the forecast. You got to keep an umbrella. Trust me. Yeah.

Yeah, there's lessons learned. You didn't mess up. But it was fun. I'm not going to lie, man. The whole thing was fun. Just, like, even when the country was coming by, and then I seen one country that had one person on it. Like, one athlete, and then another.

And I'm just sitting there like, oh, you know how special, like heart the work you had to put in to be the only person in your country to be like the USA yeah that's not under the y'all but the dude ready is just him repping the country by itself dog that shit like I kind of felt that like that are you a hero just yeah I need to you're in a little robo but that's cool you know you're in there by yourself because you know you couldn't put it i'm just thinking on the phone but like for the most for the most part right for the most part everybody had boats and then you had like sections like you couldn't just have one by himself so he had to be on a little rope

man and then you can see who you can see who country is rich as fuck. Like, Dubai had eight people. They had their own guy. You can tell the country to have money. Hong Kong, you by yourself. I know. I can see it. It was just a cool experience just

to see so many different countries, so many different people just there in one spot, just repping their country. Did Jamaica appreciate the world a little bit more than, so many different people, just there in one spot, just repping their country. Did you make you appreciate the world a little bit more than just all the different people? No, facts, facts, facts. Because, you know,

especially on this side, it's only you. You don't really care about yourself. You don't really care about what's going on in your country. You don't really focus on anybody else's. So just seeing everybody else

traveling from different countries just to represent their athletes and just see so many athletes just there. It's just great. That was my first time ever seeing a ceremony. I never watched a ceremony before. Being there, seeing it. The rain didn't even matter. It was just

the athletes in here in the rain, right here, waving and shitting in the rain. What the fuck am I complaining for? It's just great because it's the best of the best from all over the world and the last thing i want to mention that was really special to me excuse me was being able to see three black women first second third place in gymnastics with Yes. With Rebecca Andrade and Jordan Childs and Simone Biles, like, as a black woman, that was such a powerful moment for me.

I think Andrade with three ACL tears coming back. Just her story. Yeah. Competing against the best and to finally, you know, win gold on her floor routine and Jordan Childs and Simone Biles, like, you know, saluting her. And, yeah, it was just, it was a great moment. Well, sure, you talked about Simone Biles being one of your favorite moments.

We got to get into it, though. So, disappointing Tokyo Olympics, Gil. Yes, sir. This is your show. What happened? Huh? Got them the fuck out of here they said Canada lost Oh Canada did lose basketball yeah oh yeah Dylan Brooks and them lay back in Choke punk asses on. Take your ass laid back to Canada.

Catch him where else. Gobert did not start, too. We will get into all that, the final four tomorrow. USA is going to be playing within the next 30-something minutes, though. We're on during the game. Obviously, you're going to watch us, then you're going to watch the game after that. But we talk about Simone Biles.

Disappointed Tokyo Olympics. We're dealing with some mental health issues bounce back in Paris three gold medals. I think one silver as well But now she has 11 total medals to tie for second most all-time amongst women gymnasts So just for the rest of y'all what do y'all think about some mobile being able to come back? after disappointing 2021 in Tokyo and Re-establish herself as the best gymnast in the world? During that time, man, they prepare so much and it just,

all it takes is like just one day, right? One bad moment for all that to go out the window, like all that preparation. And I think that's what happened in Tokyo. She had one bad moment for all that to go out the window, like all that preparation. I think that's what happened in Tokyo. She had one bad moment and it just snowball effect with them. You know, they, part of they shit, it's physical, but shit, they shit is all mental, man. Like once they mental messed up in that sport,

it's, I mean, so you can just tell. Like once they get deflated, like they don't believe in the next routine, they don't believe in everything they doing, they start second guessing themselves. No, nah, she's a great talent. I'm pretty sure she's our biggest critic. So no matter what nobody else had to say,

she was harder on herself. So to be able to bounce back in this moment on the biggest stage. But the beauty thing about the Olympics is, especially in the visual sports, you get four years to prepare even more. It's not like the shit is every year, like us, like every season. You got to bounce

back. You got to be ready in the fall. They got trials and different things, tournaments throughout that four years, but you don't have to be your absolute best during that time. You're ironing out the kinks and little things you might see here and there, so you got four years but you don't have to be your absolute best during that time, right? You ironing out the kinks and little things you might see here and there. So you got four years to correct those things.

So she had four years to get her mental back together, whatever that entailed. I'm pretty sure having her husband there, her significant other there, was huge, and her success in this Olympics. So, yeah, no, shout out to Simone Biles, man, for being able to bounce back and- He taking time from training camp to go be out there with her. You know, that's dope.

More important moment, man. You know, that's dope, man. Yeah. Did anybody really question her greatness? I don't think a question of her greatness, but just after everything that happened in Tokyo and not kind of living up to those expectations and her addressing all the issues she was dealing with personally now to be able to come back i mean that's what's in a certain that's just the media standpoint but i mean we

can talk just the humans 2021 2020 was it was a lot different time a lot of shit going on right so a lot of shit was popping off so i I'm pretty sure the majority of those athletes, when 2020 came around and the world got shut down, that Olympic stuff didn't really register. Like, oh, shit, it ain't going to happen. And then you get the idea in 2021, your routine probably was kind of fucked up. So at that point, that 2021 goal could have went to anybody at that point it was a that 2021 a goal could have went to anybody at that point well a lot of athletes talked about how how the 2020 olympics was just different because of covid right they couldn't have fans there and that makes a big difference and and i can only imagine as a

gymnast to your point right it's just you when it's your time it's just you and now there are no fans cheering for you clapping for you like that can take a toll on you all in itself i think for me to see what she went through in 2020 and you know hearing all the criticism and because people are always going to say what they're going to say period but it would have been real easy for her to just say listen i'm i'm done i don't want to come back. I mean, she didn't have to, right? But to see her not only come back and do what she did, but to be the leader for the gymnastics team

and put on the performance that she put on, and it just, for me, it was just incredible to see her bounce back and the resiliency that she has. And Simone Biles is, she is the shit. Yeah, yeah. So I hope she never questions that. I mean, that's what we keep talking about, the bubble ring. Remember you said everybody mental?

Same thing about the Lakers ring. That's why it's full of shit. It was so much more valuable just because of all the different things going on in the world and them overcoming the odds to be able to win that. Yeah, the bubble ring. The hardest conditions, the magic bubble. Everybody's mental is somewhere else.

That bubble ring was bull. No fans. You know what the funny thing is? So back to the crowd not being in there, you're normally able to drown out your own thoughts at times because it's loud in there, right? Yes. So now it's just your own shit echoing.

I got to land this. I got to land this. I got to hit this. I got to do this. There's the people there. When there's people there, you don't have that. You don to land this. I got to land this. I got to hit this. I got to do this. There's the people there. When there's people there, you don't have that. You don't have that. Yeah, yeah.

Right? So the Lakers not having that and then still being able to overcome all that. No, no, no. But look, if you listen to everybody, like the only people who say the bubble ring wasn't the shit is everybody who wasn't in the bubble. If you listen to all the athletes that were there, they say that was the hardest time of their career which makes sense right because let's say you are drawn off of energy right you know we've

come on we played right so we know people like they need that fix when the crowd gets to go in they like oh shit right they need that right there's only a few people that don't need nothing right he can go out there and no matter what practice or non-practice he's gonna be the same way yeah now we know some people that your best player wasn't the best player in practice right you couldn't get him to go hard for shit he needed the group that's why i said some of those guys in the bubble, they performed well because what scared them was reality of the fans. See the fans separate greatness too. When you're getting booed and you got to see 20, 30,000 people up there, nuts get smaller,

asshole get tight. Right? Well, if this is practice, now practice Michael Jordan gets to come out. Practice Michael Jordan, get to cooking and shit. That's why some of those players that was elite stars in the bubble, you ain't seen them since the bubble. Reality kicked in. Them 22,000 people.

All right, make that shot you was making. Can y'all leave? Shit, I'm good before they open the goddamn arena up. So for a team like the Lakers, right, they have their fan favorites, right? So they get cheered. So they have to pull energy

out of nothing. Yeah. It puts them on a fair playing field, just like New York, right? When you guys go on the road, there's more New York fans. I think that bubble ring was easier, though.

Not for the Lakers. If the fans was in there, the Lakers ain't winning that championship. It's the Lakers fans. If the fans was in there, the Lakers ain't winning the championship. Why do you say that? You said if the fans were in the bubble? Yeah, like, yeah. I just think it's different. It is different.

Certain people ain't getting off like that. If the Lakers and the Clippers are playing in the Western Conference Finals, it's a Lakers series, the whole series. The Clippers are not at home at all. We don't know that. We do know that. It's going to be half and half. No, it's never half and half.

It's going to be half and half. It's still going to be enough fans to wear. Think about what you just said. It's half and half when Clippers are there. So when Clippers is home, half the Lakers fans are there. Because you know what's going to happen? Like,

to Gil's point, and this crazy shit, the price point of the tickets for Lakers tickets and Clippers tickets historically have been close. Right? So if they do play the Lakers tickets and Clippers tickets historically have been and they've been close. Right? So if they do play

the Lakers they've been accustomed to paying that. Right? The premium for their tickets. So they gonna pay that shit and the Clippers fan gonna be like

shit I just watch this shit on TV for that. And then all the Lakers fans say shit we get to see the Lakers for half off. Yeah. So now you're trying to be a Clipper now you're a

clipper uh you're a clipper and your fan is wishy-washy that hurts you in the playoffs right so like teams like new york lakers um or shit the cowboys right when you're when your team is like new york yankees dodgers When you go to different cities, you have a home base. So you kind of, you have fans that help you, you know, get out of certain runs. Yeah, that shit used to be Sigmund and Denver. Yeah.

When Cole came to town. That shit was fucking Lakers, period. Fuck. That shit, I mean, look, we in, you know, I'm in D.C., so that's neutral. So New York came in

as a New York crowd. Lakers come in, New York I mean a Lakers Miami come in Miami So Brandon who wins that 2020 NBA title if it's not in the bubble and they're fans and Cuz Lakers play who Miami they do play bottles. Yeah, Miami don't get there Who do you give it to? That's what I'm saying. Who do you give it to then? Who do they beat?

In the bubble? They beat the young Boston, right? I don't even remember. Did they? I think they beat the young Boston team. Who did you guys beat to get there? Denver. Everybody. Yeah. Blazers. Yeah, y'all not beating Denver with some fans. Y'all definitely not winning

in Denver. Today's Denver's not that different. He swept the Pacers, beat the Bucks 4-1, then beat the Celtics 4-2. So they beat a young Boston team. You put Boston in there. That's what I'm saying. I think it's Boston and Denver

in the finals. Denver wasn't like that then. They were like that. They were like that. They were like that. They just like that. They were like that. They just played in the bubble. They just played in the bubble. Jamal Murray in the bubble?

Yeah, but as I said, he was fucking cooking. But Jokic wasn't, like the Jokic we see today wasn't that Jokic then yet. It's the next year. That's why when people say Dwight Howard locked down Jokic. Yes, he locked down Jokic, but that's not today's Jokic. Like that Jokic emerged when Jamal left. When Jamal went out and Jokic was like, oh, I got to carry this team, his attributes kicked in.

So they had two bigs, and then Anthony Davis was able to play the four. He was off the ball. He wasn't – I'm saying Anthony Davis didn't have to guard Yoko, so it worked out. We was a big-ass team. That was... Had JaVale in. Y'all was big that year. Yeah, we was...

Had JaVale in... Oh, God. Y'all had, like, three seven-footers. Yep. So we asked the chat, the Lakers bubble championship is legit or fake? 75% said legit. Good job, chat. He didn't say that. I don't even think he said it.

I don't even think he said it. Just right here. Pull up the intro. He's making that up. He's making that up. He said it. He said it so cool. He said it so cool.

Yeah, he's doing that shit. It sounded like real shit. That's false. It did sound like real shit. It did. It really did. Hey, I've been doing that. I've been doing that fake shit.

It really did. Chat said 85%. Chat said. He's like, we didn't say shit. Yeah, it did. It did seem like some bullshit. It ain't going to even hold, Joe. It did. 85% chat said, we didn't say shit. It did seem like some bullshit. I ain't going to even hold it. There it is right there. It sounded like some bullshit.

I ain't going to even hold it. It really sounded like some bullshit just now. Thank you, chat. It's there for all to see. So 2020 NBA electives, regardless of whether you believe they deserve the title or not, world champions in their minds. Track star Noah Lyles had a bunch of NBA players in their families last summer

after winning the 100-200 meter at the world championship and making these comments about NBA champions calling themselves world champions. You know the thing that hurts me the most is that I have to watch the NBA finals and they have world champion on they head. World champion of what? The United States? Don't get me wrong. I love the US at times. But that ain't the world. That is not the world. We are the world. We have almost every country out here fighting, thriving, putting on their flag to show that they are represented. There ain't no flags in the NBA.

You come to L.A., you'll see some Lakers flags. You'll see some flags. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're going to see some flags. There's going to be some red ones and blue ones. But needless to say, Lyle's had a lot of haters in the NBA Twitter community praying on his downfall at the Olympics, but he made sure those prayers went unanswered.

So after training for most of the race, Lyle's put on the burners and edged out Jamaica's Keyshane Thompson in a photo finish. We have that pic for you now just to show you how wild it Was so do you and the chat asked I wanted the same thing I think Thompson's foot was over the line first, but you got to get the torso So it's the tour okay torso for it to count cuz I know like some summits. So I guess it changes right like the baton and The relay counts, right? I

Don't know I think there's I know things to your torso yeah torso is just like 100 200 those type of races but they said in other races other parts of the body works too so yeah so I was wondering right here Annie leaned yeah that's what that's what got him like it like I'm like his foot is over before any other part, but they said his torso. Yeah. So, Lyle secured the first gold medal for an American man in the 100 meters in the last 20 years with a personal best time of 9.79. Was in last place through the first 40 meters of the race. Came out strong in the last 60 meters.

Won by five thousandths of a second. One, two, three, four, five. the last 60 meters won by five thousandths of a second one two three four five so after the win lyle's delivered uh this message on twitter he said i have asthma allergies dyslexia add anxiety and depression but i will tell you that what you have does not define what you became what you can become why not you so what did y'all think about no allows getting that 100 meter victory shutting the haters up i personally i love it i personally had this thought um and that's why i said his his win was like great um because how he won and you know within that 24 hours what was going on if you are just as a usa citizen you're watch the Olympics, the goal is to rep your country, right? Fuck your personal afflictions

about what he said. It's the country. Right now, he's representing the same thing that our favorite sport is representing. So you, basketball community, hoping he lose just says more about you than him. His statement itself

is a true statement. They're just coming from the wrong lenses. Yeah, we're not world champs, of course, but it is in the sense of our sport. We're in a team-structured sport with the best league.

Track and field, there's no league that you get to hold your honzes on, right? So if there was an American league... Well, they have one, like the Diamond League. Yeah, but none of that... It's all individual. It's not big enough for the Europeans

to come here and face this, right? So baseball, football, these sports that, these leagues that are here, right? Even you take soccer. All the best players in soccer are not in one league, right? They're not in one league. They're spread out. So it's very different.

So what he's saying, yes, it's accurate. So the hate towards him was uncalled for. Yeah. Right? But it's still coming from an individual lens versus group name. Right? Our league is the best

in the world. Yeah. If you say, all right, we got to go defend our title against other champions, who the fuck are we playing?

A champion in Canada? Without all the NBA players? Who are we playing? Part of the EuroLeague. Huh? Part of the EuroLeague champions. EuroLeague champions. Okay, the EuroLeague championship. The champions. That's Giannis, the third brother, the one who was on the Lakers. He's the second best, one of the best players on the team. Yeah,

him. And then Kendrick Nunn is the best player on the team. So whoever that champion is, there's no NBA players in that moment when these two teams will play each other. That's why it's never actually happened. Right? Remember, what year was that? About 2006, 7, 8, when they were trying to have us go overseas and play and have preseason games and stuff like that. And they realized the timing of all of it is not good to really test it because all those players, all the great players that are good enough, is already picked.

They're here. So all the Canadian players that you're seeing on USA, they will be here playing. So that means now you've got to think about the league. Who the fuck is left over there? Exactly. So it's a waste of time to play against a group of people that are not even capable enough to even give you a challenge. It's a waste of the USA players' time.

Because the player like Jokic and the rest of his team move Bogdan and all of them, and then you say, all right, whoever is the best team Yeah, you're not gonna be that good So it really is a way so but I understand but I was rooting for I'm rooting for anybody who had a USA jersey on You know, I can I can hate you later. Yeah To die today is not the time so I'm cheering for so he made those comments a year ago last August at the World Championship Had a lot of NBA players fans salty so an interview with Sam hammock from the Athletic Devin Booker cheering for. So he made those comments a year ago last August at the World Championship.

Had a lot of NBA players fan-salty. So in an interview with Sam Amick from The Athletic, Devin Booker had this to say about Lyle's World Championship musings. He said this when he was in France. I still don't agree with the comment. I feel like all the best talent in the world is in the NBA and this is coming from an Olympic gold medalist who believes that being an NBA champion

is probably harder to do. So Booker won a gold last Olympics but is yet to being an NBA champion is probably harder to do. So Booker won a gold last Olympics, but is yet to win an NBA championship, coming two games short of that goal when the Suns lost to the Bucs in 2021. So what's your reaction to Devin Booker saying being an NBA champion is harder than winning a gold medal? Facts? 1,000%.

But that's what I'm saying. It's different lenses. In his sport. Yeah, see, that's what I said. I think it depends on the sport. Yeah, I'm about to say. His sport absolutely is. Fuck yeah, it's easy as shit. See, there's a cakewalk. Yeah. But that's what I was saying.

Depending on whose lenses you're looking from, it tells a different story. From Devin Booker's, he doesn't agree with the comment, because he's like, well, our league is the best, so when we come here to be world champs It's easy. It's this is nothing for us for your sport This is like yeah, yeah, right so how we're treating the NBA championship

It's technically how you're treating the gold medal because that gold medal because Just let's call a spade a spade man the USA basketball team there This should say USA, but it's about their legacy. Mm-hmm. It's about each individual person's legacy, right? Individual sports and Jim that those are for they doing it for their country more than the USA team other places They do it for the country. Yeah, you understand that should mean something. Yeah, it means something. Nicola, that should mean something.

Like them other players, that should mean something to them because they represent their country and what they had to go through to get here. USA players, all right, cool. No, 92 dudes can go, all right, cakewalk. Cakewalk, cakewalk, cakewalk. Until the U.S. Until they botched the shit in 04. Started experimenting.

Yep. Right? Didn't bring some of those 2003 players. Yeah. The whole 2003 team. Would have helped that 2004 squad. Where'd it go? I'm just, you know.

Yeah, so you start experimenting. But most of it is about legacy. I've never played in the Olympics. Let me. Mm-hmm. Let me... I don't have a gold medal over here. Yep.

I got NBA. I got MVP. I got this. I got that. Shit. What's missing? Yep, what's missing? They don't...

No, I was just saying, I agree with Gil. Like, your personal feelings are your personal feelings. Because at the end of the day, when you go to the Olympics, it's USA versus the world. Right?

So to, like, I don't know how you don't root for everyone that's wearing a USA uniform, regardless of the sport, regardless of his comment. It is what it is. To me, that's more personal than you saying, you know what, he is part of USA. And I was happy for him. Yeah. Regardless of how you feel about the comment. Well, a part of USA. I was happy for him. Regardless of how you feel about the comment. A lot of people in this country and this world It is how he said it.

And then, you know, they probably think he corny. You know, that's why. Yeah, you know. Because it came out of nowhere. It's just the lenses you're looking from. And that's all. Because I ran track, too. It's very different. Individual versus team. It's like you lenses you're looking from, and that's all. It's the delivery. Because I ran track, too, so it's very different.

Individual versus team. It's like you're getting into an argument with your old lady, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can say the same shit in a different way. It's just the delivery. Yeah. Right? You think he should get a signature shoe?

No. No? What did you say? A signature shoe. No allows. No allows. Yeah. Okay, get it.

I don't know. I mean, he asked for it. You're saying, should he get one? Yes. Yeah, because he asked for one. He was like, yo, I want a signature. No, I don't know. I mean he asked for it. Okay, should he get one? Yes. Yeah, cuz he asked for one He was like, yeah I want one too. Let me let me retract that Does he deserve to get one? I mean if you're a champion you think that you're you deserve to get one sure

Is it gonna sell no and so because Right, just like the sport is not big your sport. It's not and he said it well cleats don't sell of course not Yeah, so what do you think you're gonna sell basketball shoes? I could please my fucking bat football that's I could clean football but but that baseball spikes I understand what you want right right? What do you think you're gonna sell that has nothing to do with track? Yeah. Some jumpsuits. Right. You want a signature shoe.

What do you want? What? Sneakers? You want some basketball shoes? What the fuck do you want? He said you closed it. Let me just be honest. He wants some track shoes.

What kind of shoes do you want? Because whatever your sport is, don't identify with it. Because. So you don't have a market. So imagine. So. But you're not, he's not the biggest track star

there's been. True. So if those guys didn't have one, because Michael Johnson. Carl Lewis, Michael Johnson, you can go down that line. But also, there's no demand for that. People aren't out there saying we want to know a Lyle Shue.

Because it's a, it's because because we identify him in this sport. Because you can run one more Olympics and be done and nobody ever hear from you again. And you might not even make the next one. Because you, let's just call it a spade a spade, right? It could be three other dudes representing the United States next, in four years, and you might

not even make the team. And now these companies didn't invest it, millions and millions of dollars in your product and ain't nobody heard from you again. I'm going to just ask the question. Don't make economical sense.

Who's the bigger draw between the two sprinters? Which two are you referring to? Him or Richardson. Oh, Sha'Carri. Oh. Oh, Sha'Carri will sell more. Sha'Carri, for sure.

Yeah, she'll sell more than him. With a shoe, yeah, she'll sell more than him. Easy. For sure. Like that. Sha'Carri commercial. Yeah. All different looks.

I got a double-tailor. And it's not a shoe. Yeah, no. You know what I mean? But that's what I said. It's just one of those things where you just have to understand the brand. Yeah. So before you ask for a shoe, you have to figure out how to get your brand to be in something that's just casual.

Yep. Right? We identify with you as a track runner. So your shoe has to make sense to your brand. So if you decide you want this shoe, it's not going to make sense for the consumer. Because who's, you're saying Bolt had what, Puma? Puma, um, cleeks, whatever. He didn't have Puma just casual chillin' shoes.

But he could, this is Usain Bolt, right? Fucking three, like this man ran through three Olympics. It wasn't no photo finishes. It wasn't no photo finishes with this shit. He was like 100 nuggets. Just like Michael Phelps. Yeah. Anybody want a motherfucking water shoes, dog?

I'm gonna fucking how many medals he is. Nike ain't giving him no goddamn signature flippers, motherfucker. You said goggles and some tights, motherfucker. Yeah. I know what. I know what sports we're gonna go to. Shoes. They should go up there.

Swimming cap, goggles and tights. Swimming cap, goggles and tights. Swimming cap, goggles and tights. Swimming cap, goggles and tights. Swimming cap, goggles and tights. Swimming cap, goggles and tights. Swimming cap, goggles and tights. Swimming cap for all those tights I don't know why those sports like like like you said track and field swimming like they should go into apparel You know their apparel the apparel is better like you know where your apparel I'm thinking about swimming Like Michael yeah, you know, I want a shoe. Cut the shoe.

You're thinking about it. That's the equivalent. Yeah, like give me the goggles. I want the goggles. The head thing. You know, the jumpsuit, you know. So we asked to chat, winning an NBA championship is harder than winning an Olympic gold medal. 74% said facts, even though I would guess that about 74% of them haven't done neither.

But we do have someone here who's done both. So, Sherry, you got it. Wait, you asked, what did you ask the chat? So winning an NBA championship is harder than winning an Olympic gold. Oh, okay. So winning an NBA championship is harder than winning an Olympic gold. I think it's the sport, though. Man, listen, we identify you.

In basketball, 100%. Do your Subway commercials, listen. Yeah, I think it's the sport, though. Yeah, man, listen. We identify you. In basketball, 100%. Do your Subway commercials, man. Speed to the Subway. $5 for a long speed out. We know what it looks like. You know what I mean? Do some of the Flash commercials. You charge it. You can do some battery.

You can sell some batteries or something, man. Just lead a shoe to the basket of the people you don't like. Am I right, though? That's what we see. That's what we see. You know, little Wheaties, shit. Having little feets in the bitches. I don't know, man.

Just stick to that shit, man. O.J. running through the airport. Yeah, O.J. running through the airport. Gray Hurts commercial. Do football players have football players don't even have signature shoes, right? This bitch here. Odell had one of those.

I don't know if they have. Odell did. Yeah. Deion Sanders had one. Yeah, Deion. But, see, nope. Deion's shoes was coming from baseball It was it was it was turf. It was the turf. She was turf and baseball. That's it. That's the only one who was cross trainer

Who's right? That's what he's special Bo Jackson Bo Jackson Jackson Bo Jackson, but you gotta be special, but even Bo Jackson you can you can it was the same thing with the baseball They're coming with these turf type of, these turf type of trainer type of shoes. Cam Newton has them. Yeah, Cam Newton. I'm looking it up right now. Also, just straight natural football. It was who? Cleeks, but like Victor Cruz. No, I'm talking about just shoe shoes, not cleeks.

No. What are you calling them? They specify like the sport. Like tennis shoes. Yeah, like Dion had like turf. Yeah, Mahomes has his own shoe too, but I'm not- I've never- Oh, you do?

I don't know. I never- But you don't play football. Cleats. Yeah. I mean, you still- I guess you- I'm gonna be bigger though.

Guaranteed you go to one of these seven camps out here in the summer. Got the little Mahomes haircut. Yeah, yeah. With the Mahomes cleats. Nigga, they got the arm sleeves like Mahomes and there's a bunch of little number 15s running around. Yeah, like the LeBron Griffiths and all that. So, Sherry, you've won four WNBA championships, three gold medals. How does winning a gold medal compare to winning a WNBA championship?

I mean, winning a gold medal is special because it is on the world stage, right? The USA is playing against the other country's best players. But even in saying that, I again think it's the sport. Because even in the WNBA, just like the NBA, it's harder to win a WNBA championship than it is to win a gold medal

when you're talking about women's basketball. So, but I'm not going to say that winning a championship means more to me than an Olympic gold medal, right? Because an Olympic gold medal, again, it is. It's the best of the best. And you're representing your country. So there's definitely something special about winning a gold medal

just like it is about winning a championship. Do you ever just wear the gold medal around town, let people know? Just down on them? No, I don't do that one. You can't get this. That's called a winner, man. I just let people like you wear my shirt. And then they see it.

But we support the movement. It's the average human. And they just see it all. Supporting greatness. No, but Olympics, it's a special time, though. For sure. Damn the Olympics. You put your hand up like you were going to say something.

Fuck the Olympic community. No, no, no. No, damn, no. No, damn, no. See, they didn't. No, he is correct what he's saying. What did he say? I didn't hear what he said. He said, fuck the Olympic Committee, man.

They botched that shit in 04. Like, I played in all, listen, in college. I played on the World University team, went to Spain. I won a gold medal. My second year in the league, we go to Australia, goodwill shit, win a gold medal and that. The qualifying team, in 03, to go to the Olympics in 04, I played in that, won that.

Did all the hard work. Did all the fucking hard work for that. And come to make the Olympic team in 04, I was an all-star that year, about to get my max contract, and I don't go to the fucking Olympics. And they don't... They go... Did they give you a reason? No, they started experimenting.

Go look at that old... Josiah, please pull up the old three qualifying team. Coming. And then after you get done, look at... Go to the old four team that went to the Olympics. We know the old four team. Trust me.

Which team was better? Just go down the roster and just out loud, please. I will read the O3 roster first. AI, Jason Kidd, Tracy McGrady, Jermaine O'Neal, Vince Carter, Collison, Mike Bibby, Kenyon Martin, Ray Allen,

Tim Duncan, Elton Brand, Richard Jefferson. It's a pretty good damn team. Mm-hmm. Right? Balance all the way around. Now go... Read the 2004... Olympic team. Olympic team.

A.I., Stephon Marbury, Dwayne Wade, Carlos Boozer, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Emeka Okafor, Sean Marion, Amari Stoudemire, Tim Duncan, Lamar Odom, Richard Jefferson. And you hear LeBron, Melo, D. Wade, but they were all... They were all rookies. Yeah, you know, that was post-rookies.

And Okafor. You got four players. That's unproven. Me, Okafor over me, really at 0-4? That's what I'm saying. You got four players who's not even. Hmm? Not even.

So when Amari come in. Same thing. Come on. Let's call it. Come on. Me and 0-4, I'm always eating they lunch. Like destroying them dudes in 04. They ain't even fucking close.

Ain't even close. What I was doing to them dudes in 04 not to be on the Lippity team, but they went out there and got the world, showed the world they motherfuckers spanked them babies. You know the- Hey, put foot to ass, man, in 04. But so you see how- babies yeah you know you know hey put the ass man in 04 but so you see how why do you think you didn't make that team i have no idea but you see how but i was i played i'm saying i was able to play in everything else so when but a basketball right like think about every everybody else's sport that's there right their dream is the olympics

nba players dreams is being NBA. Now, when Olympic time comes up, majority of the people sound like this. Man, fuck the Olympics. Yeah. Right? Because it's not on the same playing field as everybody else's sport.

Right? Our greatness has no bearing on making this team. It's whoever they feel is... I agree with that. You know what I mean? So, like, this is like, you know, if I had to speak to Noel, think about it from our standpoint.

Imagine your relay team is not the four fastest dudes. Yeah. It's not the four fastest niggas on the team. It's, oh, he knows how to give you the baton real well But he running 11 fold But he can get it to you he can get it he can pass it to you perfect right where it don't hit your hand Right. Oh this guy got a good start his first four steps like they creating the team On how they think it should go now

You're by yourself and you sit here and lose. You're the fastest motherfucker on earth. And you lose because the other three is running 11-4, 11-1, 10-9. And you sit here like, this is my team? That's how the Olympics look. So the other three players who should be on the team with you is like, man, fuck that. So now the American basketball player, we look at, you got these guys, like, think about Jalen Brown, right? He's looking at a group

like, I'm good, right? You think about Tatum. His experience, I don't know about 20, 21, so now you got the young players just looking at the botching of what's going on here. They're looking at it like, I'm good, man. I don't want to be fucked over. Because it is about brand.

Yeah, because I guarantee. It's branding, so. Because it is about brand, right? Yeah, because I guarantee... It's branding, so you're messing up my brand, me going here. One thing for sure, two things for certain. If it's a tryout, usually, if you... You bring me in the gym with a Mecca Okafor and a Marist Thotomar in 04. Yep. Child abuse. Yep.

Damn. See, it's not a... Huh? In 04? Sure. No, I'm just saying, damn. Sure. I was out here doing people in 04. Like, no bullshit. Like, that year, for damn. People can say what else they want to after 04. Mm-hmm.

Injuries, kicked in, this, that, and the third. But that year? Oh, yeah. Yeah, you would have brought me out to Colorado Springs for... Yeah, it would've been the same shit like I did in college. Yep. You had all them names in that motherfucking, Ken showed up and was like, yeah, we're gonna

have to take him to Spain with us. What I do, go over there and motherfucking lead the team, scoring and rebounding. Like you show up, man, people, listen, you show up and you play a certain way, people can't deny you. That's why there wasn't no trials, wasn't no, listen, you show up and you play a certain way, people can't deny you. That's why there wasn't no tryouts. There was no doubt. They just picked them dudes.

I'm about to say, there wasn't no tryouts this year. No, even then there wasn't. There was never a tryout. There was never a tryout. Brandon, I'm telling you, dog. You throw that ball up, you got to deal with me. We had tryouts back in the day. Especially when doing this, when we're trying to make something.

Oh, no, you got to deal with me. When did they take the tryouts out? There's never been. We did. Oh, you. Oh, but for the guys, it was never. Even 2006, like, we sitting here like, like, there was players like

was getting barbecued in the tryouts that they was having. Right? Barbecued. Nigga, you first cut. Get out of it back tomorrow You want some more up you must know the coach taking it barbecue Back the next day. Wait, how are you?

What's going like are you already on this team? This is crazy like you are Literally don't even belong in this realm but you got promise and that's the thing about promising because if no one gets to defend their position how do you know if they're really that good hmm right so if you're gonna have a try out have a try out everybody have a tryout. Everybody's position's open so you can see who really came there to take something. Right?

Whoever came, they came there to take something. Like Noah. That he, before, when he got silver, that kid really wanted that. Made you refocus. Then you had to show him what you was about. That's the point of competition.

So when you're sitting here picking teams, because I guarantee if you said, hey, White, we're thinking about you or Jaden Brown, play one-on-one. All right, y'all motherfuckers play one-on-one. Shit, we can play 5-0-5. Y'all the captains of y'all team. I guarantee you it wouldn't have been,

White wouldn't have been on his team. So we don't even know who really is the greatest Olympic USA team then. Because it's picked. I mean, if we go by talent, because we're leaving a lot of talent off. I mean, because Isaiah was off that dream team.

But he wasn't the best player. That's false narrative. No, but what I'm saying is he would have made it, though. No, he wouldn't have. He would have made it over who? Over John Stockton? Over John Stockton. So John Stockton was first team all NBA that year. So the person who really got screwed.

The person who really got screwed. But are you going off of the award or? I'm talking about game. I'm talking about rolling out the ball. Bird wouldn't have been on the team. Magic shouldn't have been on the team. Tim Hardaway should have been on the team. It's Tim Hardaway. So Magic shouldn't have been on the team. Magic shouldn't have been on the team. Tim Hardaway should have been on the team.

It's Tim Hardaway who got screwed. He was the second best point guard in the NBA at that moment in time. You're talking about the 92 team. Yeah, the 92 team.

He got screwed. The team that Christian Leitner was on. He got screwed for Magic Johnson. Yeah, they just put... Burr shouldn't have been on there either.

Burr shouldn't have been on there either. This spot don't matter. The courtesy roster spot for the college. Yeah, so... Because you know what that was.

So basically... Of course I did. So it was basically Bird took basically Dominique Wilkins' spot, right? And Magic took Tim Hardaway's spot. Yeah. Just for some reason. And Christian Lader took Shaq's spot. Yeah, and for some reason, everybody just says Isaiah Thomas should have been there.

But, you know, when you look at how they did it. Isaiah Thomas says he should have been there. I know. But the second team, the second best player point guard that year was. Yeah, but that don't mean nothing if we trying out. I mean, like you said, y'all been in them situations with players that started with Wayne Tyler. I don't even think Isaiah Thomas made an All-NBA team that year. Because they picked, it was out of the 12 people,

nine, they picked the top nine all-NBA players. That's what I said. The one who got screwed was Tim. He was second team. Who are the players that shouldn't be on the team this year? Anyone who didn't make all-NBA team. I'm going by how they did it. You're talking about this Olympic team?

I'm going how they did it before. This is the USA team. We're going to put our best players on the team. This is not... This is not who I like. This is country shit. This is the country shit.

We're going to... We're putting... Because the rest of the country has got the best players in the country. Besides us. We're the only one that do favoritism everybody else i don't give a fuck if he never came back right when china was going to play

wang gg you better bring your ass back here or you or we're gonna call you awol we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna arrest your family god damn it this ain no... You don't get to pick and choose if you gonna play, but you playing for us, period. That's every other country. Us? Yeah, I like you today, so we gonna go, yeah, you know. Yeah, you my boy. I know you leading the league and scoring and all that shit, but we don't need your services. We don't need your services. You are too selfish to play on this team. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? What does my NBA team have to do, the way I play on my NBA team. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? This is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. My NBA team, the way I play on my NBA team, what the fuck does that have to do with what I can bring to this team?

My team need that for me. My team need me to average fucking 29. And I have to take 25 shots a night. No, we're getting an ass kick, but this is what the fuck they need from me. They get paid to average this. Yeah, I don't think Derek White or Embiid should be on the team. It's just one of those weird things that we almost think Like we I think it be to set this one out that or play for us

No, my we like to say we're ready for we just I've been thinking that should soon. They say they get healthy for next year Yeah, just it's a overshadowing that they do and I just don't like the concept of it because you're you're you're basically saying that the players that are the best players can't compromise their talent for the betterment of the team but i've seen something that was said uh kobe like um carmelo said we want kobe bryan the olympian not the laker. What does that mean? I mean, of course, if he's going to join his team, he already knows what he has to compromise. Like, to be honest, the USA players are,

it seems like they're easier to beat because they're not all in full, they're not in all full Hulk mode, right? They got to all, they got to they got all like be a little bit of themselves. So they're more vulnerable than everybody else. Like Patty Mills, he knows he's Kobe Bryant on his country team. Yeah, he might be the, you know,

14th, 13th and 12th best player on his team in the NBA, but he knows he is Michael Jordan on that team. So how he plays is very different how someone on an American team can play. Because I can't take five straight shots, even though you're taking all this.

I got this. You lucky, nigga. I'm going to see you during the season, because that's what it is. I'm going to see you during the season, bro, because this is... So yeah, so someone like Patty Mills and all these guys when they go to the country they are They are super superhuman. We are human when we get on Olympic team

So let's talk about this 2024 squad the game is underway right now We're Brazil quarterfinal game first game of the knockout round But after shaky exhibition slate leading up to the Paris games, including just barely avoiding what would have been the biggest upset in international competition, the one-point win over South Sudan, men's squad finished a group stage as the number one seed, going undefeated against Serbia, South Sudan, and Puerto Rico with an average margin of victory of 22 points per game. So they saw a balanced attack on both sides of the ball,

different leading score in each of their three games with each of those players coming from the bench. So Ann Edwards led Team USA with 26 points in their final group stage win over Puerto Rico. Ann is currently leading scorer on the squad at nearly 17 points per game. KD in second, scoring at 16 points per game. LeBron

is third in scoring and rebounding, averaging 14.7 rebounds and leading the team with 7.3 assists per game. So again, knockout stage against Brazil right now. We will keep you guys updated. That game is underway. Obviously, you're watching your favorite show instead. 14.77.

He's going to stay with that 77. He's staying with that 77. No, he's not 77. Oh, fuck. Hey, that shit is embedded. 77. So, what, LeBron? 77.

77. About 18. 77. 7-7. About 18, 7-7. 7-7. So we have not convened in several weeks, but we did talk about some of those exhibition games and how sketchy or, you know, how nervous it was looking. Gil, you said they were going to win gold. It didn't matter.

But how impressive has Team USA looked so far in this Olympics? I don't know. I don't want to say it, but I'm going to just say it, man. The worst part of the USA team is the coaching staff. Absolutely. You know, nothing for the individual coaches that's on the team, right?

As individuals, they are great in the situations they're in. But collectively... But collectively, they are the handicap. They are the thorn in the ass because if they was on an individual team, they would not be doing the shit that they're doing. Yeah. Right?

Spro, you're not going to sit Jimmy Butler and bring him off the bench. You're going to put the best starting five that you have on your team in the game. Same with the rest of them. You're not going to have your best players and your number one and two options coming off the bench to fit whatever. Oh, he didn't, you know, he wasn't here the whole time. Shut up.

Come on, stop. Should I ask Steve? So, Steve, let me ask you a question. If Jason Tatum was on your roster, would there ever be a situation where he had a DNP? Hmm. Yeah, that was black. So, what the fuck makes you start now?

Right? This man is first team all NBA three years in a row. You mean to tell me all of a sudden, like, I don't care for what game plan you put together, at any particular time, that it didn't include Jason Tatum. Anybody in the room, when y'all was coming up with this shit, if it was announced that Jason Tatum might not play, they should have had him fucking admitted to a fucking psych ward. No, we're just going to put somebody in a state. You know what? We're going to send you back home, man.

You're not well. Like, the fuck, Jason? Like, really? Are you fucking with this man's legacy? This man come over here and spend time away from his family and come over here not to fucking play? And just Derek White come off the bench. That was nasty, bro. But the thing is, you made a conscious decision not to fucking play. And just, did Derek White come off the, like, that was nasty,

bro. But the thing is, you made a conscious decision not to play this match because you put, you could have easily, when you said, Derek,

yo, D, hey, D White, you could have easily said, yo, Jason Tatum, go get,

you could have easily said that shit. Not even, not even, this is crazy, not even a takeaway because Derek, Derek White has been doing, the D team has been doing, he's been doing great. Not even a takeaway, because Derek White has been doing... No, I'm very well with you.

He's been doing great. Okay. But how did the name come out your fucking mouth? Before Jason Tatum. Before Jason Tatum. How did you... Like, what? Hey, Derek.

What? And you probably looked right at Jason. For sure. Jason was sitting like this. I guarantee you, nigg like, Derrick White. Nigga was like. I know everybody. Hey, Derrick.

Me? Well, shit, I ain't even got my jersey on. Yeah. Oh, shit. Hey, can you go get me a jersey? Yeah. Because there's no, I mean, but. Yeah.

If this was the NBA season and Steph Curry missed a bunch of preseason games because of an injury, and he was healthy when game one started. God damn it, you know he's starting game one. Stop this overanalyzing bullshit, right? I know, and that's the problem. It is so shoe-driven. It is so shoe-driven. It is so image-driven. The thought of, the ideal of just winning first eludes these people now.

Right? It eludes these people. Because for the most part, wasn't Jason Tatum the second or first best player in the 2021 Olympics? Mm-hmm. Right? So coming into this Olympics, he is highlighted. So let's talk about it. So Tatum entered the Olympics NBA champion,

making his third straight All-NBA first team, finished sixth in MVP voting. Brunson was fifth, not on the team. So that makes Tatum the top-ranked player on the Team USA squad, coupled with the fact that he's also the highest-paid player in the league after signing that Supermax extension with the Celtics this offseason. So in an interview with The Athletic, Tatum had this to say about his DMP in Team USA's first game.

He said, definitely a humbling experience, right? Win a championship, new contract, cover a 2K, then you sit a whole game, cover Sports Illustrated. So it was definitely a humbling experience. You guys talked a little bit about the coaching, but how in your mind is Steve Kerr, do you look at this roster and say, you know what, I'm not going to play the guy

who is literally the best American player on this roster currently? No, fuck not going to play him. For you to even think that there's a possibility that you're not going to play the guy who is literally the best American player on this roster currently. No, fuck not going to play him. For you to even think that there's a possibility that you're not going to play him. Like, fuck that you came up with the game plan. Like, for you to you should have laughed at yourself

like when you thought like I might not play Jason Tatum. Guess what I just thought of, y'all? I just thought about not playing fucking Jason Tatum. How fucking stupid am I? Right? But even in... Yeah, I'm going to have Drew and Derek in them play.

But as Steve Kerr being the head coach, even if that was a thought, like, what is his staff saying to him? Right? So, like, in a staff meeting, you're going over your game plan, and Steve Kerr's like, we ain't playing Jason Tatum.

And so the rest of the staff just sits there like, okay. Good answer. I agree with you. For it to be a possibility, sure, like, right? For you to voice that shit and nobody to be like... Agree. Like I said, he should have checked himself

when he thought of it and not even bring it to the group as a fucking joke. Guess the fuck I just thought of when I was drinking, drawing out this. No doubt. And then think about the players because as players, we do this shit. The players are probably like, what the fuck?

And that's what people don't understand. Yes. Forget the optics of this. Think about the players that's on the team. Hell yeah. Do you think as a group they respect the subbing lineup? No, no. Right?

Because what ends up happening is we've established for years who's who. Absolutely. We've established all years who's who. Absolutely. We've established all of this already. You niggas with your suits, y'all are interfering with the goddamn order. This is the order. We already know who's leading what, who's who. We already done set. We talking.

Everybody knows. So when you start sitting in there coming in with your own, who going to eat first, all you doing is just pissing everybody else off. Absolutely. Because they know it can happen to them. Yep. Because that's what's happening right now. Because what you did to Jason Tatum, you decide to pretend that this is part of your thing. All right, we're going to sit in B next.

Oh, we're going to sit Derek White. First of all, there's 12. Naturally, it's automatically an eight, nine-man rotation. That means, just like your NBA roster, there's three people who shouldn't be thinking about getting no playing time unless the game is over. You already identify with them. We all identified with them.

If some time gets, we can put them in. We up 35, 20-something, put them on in for a couple minutes. So the fact that you think you can just, all right, Embiid, are you going to sit? Okay, now Derek White, that's not even a stop. We already know you fucked up and now you're trying to correct it. Yeah. Drew Holley had the ankle injury, so... I think them B's shit against South Bend,

them motherfuckers was playing too fast. Like, that game, they was playing too fast. Or he was on play hard against them. Who? That, too, but I don't think they were... Oh, I was just saying. That's why. Hey, you can't.

Hey, listen, listen. Listen, I was live screaming. Don't put that motherfucker in the game. Right? Yeah, that's... I just don't get it. Like, I don't get why Jason Tatum had to get humbled. Like, I feel like was it more because of Jalen Brown

or was it because of the Boston situation? No. Is it that... Like, you know... I mean... Steve Kerr fucked up. No, I know, but what I'm saying... No, is it that like you know, I mean No, I know but what I'm saying no, but we call the spade a spade He fuck but like what Gil said when he didn't get picked like you had every you you remembered everything every player, right? Yeah, the next season you came in

Destroyed everybody like you got to build a monster trying to break each like better be careful Destroy so now you're like that's a team. All right, like, yeah. They're trying to destroy. They just won one. They'll do it again. Watch their first game, Boston, play motherfucking Golden State. Yeah. Watch their first game, Boston, play Golden State. Jay Taylor might go out there, bitch, and go for 60.

Yeah. No, everybody on that team. Think about it. Everybody, every coach on that team about to get your ass barbecued. Yeah, I'm going to say everybody. Yeah, everybody, every coach. By these guys. Because you're not sticking to the order that those guys have put in themselves.

Right? Ant-Man has earned his time. He's the only one that's exempt from all of this because he don't give a fuck about it. He don't care about it. He don't give a fuck about it. No pecking order. No fucking. Who getting what shot?

Who playing? Listen. Okay. Whatever minutes I get, goddamn, guess where this ball going? But that's what I'm saying. But he's established that through his work ethic that he deserves time no matter what happens. Yeah. Right?

So we've established our time. So when you don't give the player that, like, you know how we're like, man, he ain't putting the nigga in. Oh, it's crazy. He's about They be pissed. We know that as players. He gonna remember that. Because we know our value. We know what we bring. We know what we bring to the table.

Yes. We know. Yo, put the motherfucker in the game, dog. We trying to win. Over there with that bullshit. Because now it seems personal. See, Ant-Man, what you did last year, because y'all had some problems with him It became personal y'all can see what happened during the season the fighting into the yoke in and choking and shit Do you think that's a coincidence?

That the same the same team that got choked up and y'all had this problem is the same star player That you said deserves to come off the bench. So his teammates, like, hold on, don't disrespect our player like that. There's a reason that y'all had this scuffle during the season. And y'all just had a Draymond Green. If y'all didn't have a Draymond Green, y'all would have probably been the laughing stock on that fight. But it started from USA Basketball. So we talk a lot about who's going to be the face of the league, a lot of names thrown

out there. How much will this motivate Tatum to show lot about who's going to be the face of the league, a lot of names thrown out there. How much will this motivate Tatum to show the basketball world that he should be the face of the league? Obviously, he's feeling slighted not getting the finals MVP, getting DMP's Team USA when I'm literally the top-ranked player in America on this roster. Who bigger chip, him or his fucking teammates? And that's— The fuck?

My follow-up, bro. That's what I'm saying, Jake. Boston might run off two. Alright. They got a chance to run off two more championships. In theory, it seems like that, but it seems like the coaching staff

and the media has... They done threw some nukes in this motherfucking team that can be disastrous. Well, they're trying to. You scrutate them over his... The MVPs give it to his teammate. Now he has to act a certain way. Y'all remember that?

They was like, yo, did you talk to JB yet? He was like, nah, I ain't talked to him. Two best friends ain't talking now? Right? Then JB's getting on his team and then you throw in another loophole. Ooh, white.

Now he's throwing shots. Like, oh, really? This is what we're doing? Not consciously thinking this is your teammate that they put you in. Like, nah, this is white. So you should still be happy,

but you're not. Fuck no. So you're not happy for your teammate because it's supposed to be you. Now white is like, yo. Damn. But said it was like that. Said they talked. Now White is like, yo. Because this is not. They said they talked.

It was all good between them. Yeah, that sounds good. Because what did I just say? That's what they're trying to do. They're trying to split them apart, bro. This is not about the USA basketball. This is about personal legacy, man. Yeah.

And you're fucking with it. This is about personal legacy, and you're fucking with it. If I'm Jalen Brown, I hear there's going to be three Boston Celtics on this Team USA squad, I'd be under the rightful opinion that I deserve to be one. I'm the first one. I'm going to be the first at who? Me, Tatum, and who? Drew, okay.

Me, Tatum, and who? Yeah. Me, Tatum, and who? And then they'll be like, all right, nah. They're trying to stop it, man, because they see Boston can run the table. What? You got to be really. Go on home, pack your bags, nigga. You hear it's going to be three...

Me and two of my teammates going to the... You just heard three bosses tell you, you're going home packing. Yeah, throw them a party. This is the worst. Who else told you that? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Of course you are her.

You're a Houston Comets team, right? You hear it's going to be three of y'all on the Olympic team, right? You hear it's going to be three of y'all on the Olympic team, right? Yeah. You know the three. No, like, you're right. They take options four and five. They come and be like, you know what, girl?

Yeah, we, yeah. Girl, this is what we about to do. Then they come, and they don't even come to me. But I find out, to me, I'm not one of them. Who the fuck y'all take? Ooh. Yeah, like... The fourth option.

Just to fuck with you mentally. That's disrespectful. He ain't even fourth option. Derek White ain't even the fucking fourth option. Yeah, that's disrespectful. Right? He ain't even the fourth option. But I agree, Brandon.

I agree with you. They trying to split that up. It's the basketball gods. Jerry West went up there and said, hold on. Yeah. Jerry West said, watch this shit. It sounds like these boys about to have some vengeance. Yeah.

Oh, my God. But this is going to be internal first. They still got to mend reality. The reality is Jason Tatum and them got to mend what happened in the finals. Yeah, they champions but my legacy is Our legacy ain't what it's supposed to be and you know We need to go ahead and try to figure out who team this is then you got you know, why didn't hit like I think Are we good?

Because called me Maybe I missed it. What was the reason they gave for not putting Jalen Brown on the team? The shoe thing. They didn't give one. No, they didn't say it. He said it was a shoe thing. Jalen said it was a shoe thing. He was backing Kyrie.

He didn't fit the best team we want to be a team. He didn't fit our team. That part. That's really what it is. He didn't fit our team. Because that's why Ky really what it is. It didn't fit our team. Because that's why Kyrie ain't on the team. Yeah, I'm like, well, how the hell? So you're saying someone who can play defense, rebound, and you don't fit?

Isn't he a defensive player? Yeah, that part. So he fits, right? Or we need a guard who can play defense. So you're saying Ant-Man can't. Who defends some of the best players in the NBA. That's why I said when you hear him talk, you're like, oh, that sounds good. When you look at it, you're like,

what you said, it sounds stupid now. I just feel like on the USA team, you got to walk on eggshells. Yeah. Like, I feel like every, like, unless you like, you know, Bron or, you know, but I feel like everybody, you got to, they just walk on eggshells.

Like, don't do nothing. Don't, like, it's just too much. Hurry. A lot. It's away from basketball. A lot. It's away from basketball. A lot. It's fucking politics. So, we feel like both guys are gonna come with chips on their shoulder. Is that gonna be good or bad for this Open?

That's what... Good? It's gonna be a good test. It's gonna be able to see, like, what matters more, championships or my legacy. No, they're gonna win another one. I hope so. I mean, I hope it brings some, you know, some fight to them. But I don't know, man. They young, man. I mean, you're going to motivate them to go out and be more locked in.

Is it going to be locked in or selfish? I think locked in. Because it ain't new to, like, so if it was new teammates. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, for Tatum Brown and Tatum, they definitely coming. Well, technically, it is new teammates, though.

Because at first it was 1 and 2. Well, it could be 1A and 1B. Now it's 1 and 2. No, it's 1A and 1B. You know what I mean? It's like that Kobe and Shaq. It's 1A and 1B. Kobe and Shaq's team, Kobe's number two.

It's 1A and 1B. And then now it's 1A and 1B. 1A and 1B. I thought it was 1 and 2, and now it's 1A and 1B. 1A and 1B. 1A and 1B. I thought it was 1 and 2, and that was 1A and 1B. 1A and 1B. 1A and B. Because each, because... It depends on that.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Because we look down on the table. I know. The bread is changed. This shit say 300. Your shit say 300. Mine say 314. But that reminds me of the Kobe thing.

We know who team it is until until motherfuckers start developing yeah and then now we're going into the season starting off all right this this third championship hey who the best player on this team is again because I know it's been going to big fella these these first two but I think it's mine and then you know so I hope that doesn't go in that's what I'm I'm just going off of history yeah right nothing about them personal just like for a guy who like they both been screwed by a lot. So it's like, is the selfishness

going to kick in? I understand Kobe was coming into his own. God rest that man's soul, but. No, it's Shaq's team, but you couldn't tell Kobe that.

No, no, no. We know who team it was, but you couldn't tell the other individual that. Yeah. Like, we know it's Tatum's team, but Brown's awards, but Brown's awards

say it's him. They just need a team meeting. They figured it out. They need a team meeting before. Because the awards, I'm going to say it, because the awards that Jason Tatum, I mean, Tatum has lost. Right? It's, he wants those. I want those now. So when those times

comes up, when them playoffs, like, think about it. MVP voting candidate, he didn't, did they screw him on that? The finals and all that, he's like, I want them. I want them shells now.

Absolutely. I don't know. I mean, they got a chance to, you know, go back to back. I hope they figure it out because it would be sad

if they all, their egos, like, like mess things up and then they don't. As soon as the season starts, what are they going to do? Whose team is this? Start that bull.

For sure. But I think having Drew there is. That helps. Like, is him and Al Horford and that motherfucker together is going to keep all that shit in check. Them two, right there, going. I'm disappointed in Steve. They got talent. They nice. I'm disappointed in these people. They got talent. They nice. I don't want to see that thing split up.

Success, man, like I said, they came up kids and they shit together, man. They bumps a lot of bumps, man, so to have success now, I don't think they're going to let people draw a wedge in it. If they didn't win this past season, yeah, and all this shit

happened this summer, great possibility. But them coming off winning, I think that's... I ain't gonna lie, I'm gonna just be honest with you. Brown and Tatum, this ain't been a championship summer

for them. Think about it. It's not like they have, they got to enjoy anything, right? Because even though Tatum won the championship, right, he don't get to win it how he wants to. And then now, during the biggest time of his career, Olympics, he's getting benched. Jason, then you got Brown who won the awards. Right? Then he gets screwed. Right? So they not

really like, you know what I mean? Nobody's riding that high horse. Which is weird. It's like they fucking with both of them. Yeah, you a champ, but you ain't gonna be able to throw no parties. I mean, but the last time Boston won it with Paul Pierce, they didn't really hide because they had to come right back and they lost.

No, I'm just talking about just the summer. You know how niggas, you and Jayson, you and Summer, you popping. Your name is popping. But it's also Boston though. Nobody really, like, people really don't like Boston like that. Like, both of them getting their names. Yeah. They going to salt on their names. But what's even bigger

slap in the face of Jason Tatum than what Steve Kerr did is you started him the next game BMP just how you just how you did it right? He be like alright JT you star nigga be like Yes, nigga. Yeah This motherfucker With no conversation before which I'm just like, no has...

Don't give a fuck what the... But I'm the... We talked about this. Me and you talked about this. We talked... There could be no fucking conversation you can come to me with if I'm Jason Taylor

and be like, I'm thinking about not playing you. I'd be like, you're out of your fucking mind, Steve. You said not... Like, I thought you said not starting. You said not playing. Yes.

That's not starting. I laughed you right out of the conversation. Is it worse, though, to go into that game thinking I'm about to play, warming up like I'm about to play? No. Either way. Either way.

And I just got to sit here the whole time like, damn, what? No, you heard Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr said he had a talk with him before and said, there's a possibility that you're not going to play. And guess where this reaction should have been? Man, listen, when the next plane back to fucking Boston. There's a possibility I'm going to take a ride. Remember, that was the thing with me when he was like, yeah, you on the bubble.

It's a possibility I'm going to fuck home, too. That was the thing with me. When people think I got cut, no. The conversation when I'm like, oh, man, you know, my groin hurts, you know. Oh, you know, I don't want to hold up a spot for somebody else. And you on the bubble. The bubble. Do you know who's still on this team?

All right, I'm out. I feel bad for them coaches next year. Every coach on there, they about to get it. It's just a horrible look, man. Because what you're saying, what you're saying, you know, no disrespect on White. What you're saying he's bringing, you're saying Tatum can't do that? He can't just go out there and play defense? Oh, he was a power, oh, he's a forward.

Because KD was cooking. What the fuck does he have to do with KD? That's exactly what I said. What the fuck does he have to do with KD? You can put the motherfucker at the shooting guard position. They can play together. Like I said, they all just go big. They can play together.

They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together.

They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play together. They can play Yeah. They can play together. Like I said, they all just go big. They can play together. They can play the ball up the floor.

I mean, what just, dude, what fucking concept of basketball are you not, we have like, just because their guards is both 5'8", bitch don't mean we need to put 5'8 in there. No, for sure. No, seriously. Yeah. Shit, we got a guard that's 6'10". Oh, it's true.

Put him at guard. It's true. Have him, him and Tay, like him, him, god damn. Shit, if we got to guard that 6'10", put him at guard. That's true. Have him and Tate. Like, him, goddamn. We can have a whole seven-foot lineup if you want to. What the other group going to do? Shit, Ancestor, Katie, Ron.

Them sorry-ass motherfucking country, what they going to do? Sit there and complain? So you... Yeah, this is... So Jaden Tatum going, he don't realize... So you telling me that he can't... He don't realize that where the ball need to go right now because fucking KD had it going. So, shit.

Pump fake. Stied still. Kicked that motherfucker to him. I didn't drew two people over here. Fucking KD. Think your motherfuckers are stupid, man. They can't beat us. This is time to work on your game.

But that's what I'm saying. They think it's like. Work on it. But that's why I say coaches. I had a lot of turnovers in the finals. Let me work on my. But that's why I say coaches. I had a lot of turnovers in the finals. Let me work on my. But that's why I say coaches, man. It's like you have to, like, you don't think, like, as a player,

you think you're telling your players that you don't really believe in their talent, that they can adapt to something. You're making the decision for them. Like, you got to stop that. Give your player, he is considered one of the best in the world because he can adapt to different types of games. So the fact that you're pre-doing it just seems weird as fuck. He's considered one of the best in the world

because he is fucking one of the best in the world. Means he can adapt. This motherfucker's pretty good at that. Listen, I know I average 30, goddammit, but if I got Kobe, LeBron, and motherfuckers, AI on the team, goddammit, I'm a passer. Passer, defender.

I got a wide open. What do you think about this? Nah, nigga, move. You move AI. Kobe, move. T-Mac, move. Shaq, get out the way. I can't one-four flat. You know how stupid I look. At that moment in time, I'm the weakest motherfucker on the team. That means I'm a defender, rebounder.

I'm doing a little. Nigga, I'm Derek White. But I'm a superstar that turns in. I'm Superman turning into Clark Kent. But remember, I'm motherfucking Superman still. Pretending to be. That's what I get. Not regular-ass Clark Kent,

who's regular. He don't got superpowers when you need him to have it. He can't be Superman. He can't be Superman. He can't be Superman. And that's my issue. Let Tatum go and be

who he wants to be. He understands who's on the floor. Yeah. Team USA Brazil underway. Second quarter, about five minutes to go. Team USA's up 11 points right now,

40 to 29. What? Devin Booker, Devin Booker leading Team USA in scoring with nine points and Bede has eight points. They put in Bede, I told you. Three rebounds

within the starting lineup. We were just up 19. They were up 40 to 21. Yeah, they were up 40 to 21. Brazil closed the gap. We will keep you updated. It's a fruitful conversation. But let's move over to the women's side.

Team USA in pursuit of their eighth straight gold medal. Went unbeaten in the group stage. 27-point win over Japan. 13-point victory over Belgium. And 19-point win over Germany. To secure their 58th straight win in Olympic competition. Aja Wilson, Brianna Stewart. Been carrying the squad.

Both players averaging more than 20 points per game. Aja's averaging close to a double-double, leading the team in rebounding at 9.7 rebounds per game. And Chelsea Grant, Sabrina Inescu, leading the team assists with 6 and 5, respectively. Cheryl, you talked about the Nigerian team making it to the quarterfinals. Now they have to face off against this Team USA squad.

That's all I said. Tomorrow. But it was a beautiful moment. but it's like, congrats. Yeah. Enjoy tonight. Now reality. Here's your prize. Okay.

Here you go. You ain't gonna get a medal, but this is what you gonna get. What are your thoughts on this Team USA squad so far in this Olympics? You know, I like the team, but it's a lot like we were just talking about on the men's side. You know, like Kalia Copper, who is either the second or third leading scorer in the WNBA right now. Just not getting any minutes. Jackie Young, who is, to me me one of the better defenders in the game right now, the last game against Germany, I think it was Germany, yeah, played her ass

off. So finally is getting the minutes that she deserves. But, you know, Stewie and Asia, to me, they have to score for this team. They have to get the job done. I love Alyssa Thomas. Alyssa Thomas, to me, is like a Derek White, right? For this team, Alyssa Thomas, she's going to rebound. She's going to defend. She's going to be physical. She's going to do all the things that you need her to do for this squad,

for this squad to win, which is exactly what she does for the Connecticut Sun. I don't see, knock on wood somewhere, I don't see us not winning gold. And I love this team. I just wish we could find a way to get more minutes for the players like a Kalia Copper and a Jackie Young. But other than that, I don't really have a lot to say about the team

because, I mean, they're good. Kalia averaging 10 minutes per game right now, 9.5 minutes per game. You know what, because I had to commentate on the game. Not even close. And I've been watching. I'm going to just say.

And I can tell you why I say that. There's a lot of people that shouldn't be playing. Because I don't know what the offense is. But three of them. Get a lot of Asians too. Yeah, because. That should be the offense. No, that is the offense.

That's literally the offense because for the most part, the starting other three... Who should be playing, Gil? They usually have zero. What? They usually... I'm pretty sure three of the players,

other three players besides the two you named, I'm pretty sure they most likely don't have averaging more than five. You're talking about the starters? Mm-hmm. I'm looking at some of the stuff and I'm watching it. It's like, your greatness is not even... You guys are not even looking at the basket.

Like, you guys don't even... Like, what are you doing in the game if you're not going to help out, right? I don't need you to play point guard right now because our offense is not... Well, the game totally changes when she subs. When she puts in a Jackie Young, a Sabrina Ionescu,

Kalia Copper, which she does get in the game, Alyssa Thomas, the game completely changes. From the starting five to when she subs, they take it to a whole different level. Yeah, they're starting five. It's just like the starting five names are good, but how they're being used isn't. I agree with you.

It's like you're playing eight minutes, took two shots. What are you on the floor for? You didn't take one shot. What are you on the floor for? What are you guys out there doing? Put in the other girls then that just want to contribute and make it a nice little five for us to

dominate. And it just seems... And I think now that we're in the medal rounds, I would think that might change because in pool play, you can play whoever. Like, you can play whoever, let them do whatever, and we're going to just

get through that. But the medal rounds, I think, will be very different. And I don't know how much you've watched, but we always get off to a slow start. It doesn't really matter

who we're playing. We always get off to a slow start. But I never question, are we going to win this game? That's never entered my mind. So for you, how did that mentality

shift from group stage to now knockout round win? Obviously, single game elimination. are we going to win this game? That's never entered my mind. So for you, how did that mentality ship from group stage to now knockout round win? Obviously single game elimination. Well, I think a lot of it is about leadership. And I know a lot of people are like, oh God, you're probably thinking it. They're like, Diana Taurasi should not be on the team. I know a lot of people are saying that.

But for me, what I see from Diana on this team, it's not how much scoring she's going to do it's not that but it's her more of her leadership right you you have a player on this team who is now in her sixth olympics which like her love or hate her like that's crazy the thought of her still playing and she's in her sixth Olympics. So just her leadership, because she's been here so much, right? Diana, Stewie, Asia. To me, those three are the leaders of this team. And now that we're in the medal rounds,

that's where I think you'll see Diana's leadership and Asia and Stewie. Asia and Stewie, they're going to do what they're going to do, right? I thought you were going to do what they're going to do, right? But having someone like... I thought you was going to say in the medal round, we're going to see Diana leadership from a different angle. Like what? What you mean?

What you mean? What are you implying? That's what I'm asking. Because we don't need her from scoring and stuff like that. We just need her for leadership. So we figure she can it from scoring and stuff like that. We just need it for leadership So we figure you know she can lead from over there Kind of how we doing when I sit for from thinning and enjoying cheering and keeping this big a coach gonna put you in Coach gonna get you in just relax. Hey relax y'all. We doing good, good right she can leave great from right there she can but she

can she can leave from the floor if you watch the last game no seriously the last game so she started um and i don't think she played at all in the second half i don't don't know why i don't know but that's i'm just saying from when we're when I'm watching the games and looking at it, I'm like, what you're expecting from some of these players, you just don't see. Like, I've never seen where someone like Diana

not look at the rim when she's catching it. Like, you're automatically trying to pass it to post. Like, this is all post play. You got Asians, too. Get them the damn ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I still got to... My man's doubling, and I catch the ball, and I got to... Like, them girls working hard. They're working hard. They overworking. She can still shoot it.

I know. I do think, medal rounds, I think she gonna shoot it a little bit more. So are you fine with... There was obviously a lot of talk, people saying that it was time for Diana Taurasi to move around, pass the torch to one of the younger players. Obviously, Kaitlyn Clark's name was mentioned a lot, but you had Erika, who was obviously a lot of talk and people saying that it was time for Diana Taurasi to move around, pass the torch to one of the younger players. Obviously, Kaitlyn Clark's name was mentioned a lot, but you had Arikay, who was also in the mix, took her name out of it, but proceeded to cook them when the WNBA All-Stars took on Team USA. No, I've been very up front.

I think Arikay Agumbawale should have been on the team. Okay. Without question. But am I fine with Diana being on the team? I am. And, you know, I think the reason why I say that is because I played with Diana

and I know what Diana brings to the game besides her ability to score the basketball. And I think a lot of it also was USA Basketball saying, we want you to get your sixth gold medal, right? So they put her on the team. She's going to get her sixth gold medal, hopefully.

And then there will be other opportunities for other players. But I don't have a... What are you pointing at? I'm pointing at me here to give you six gold medals? You gonna be We gonna get you in get you in what we need to get you in we don't bring you off the bench right now You've done it for five gold You've done lifted this month five gold. We don't need you to live it for six going over there

Listen, I'm not opposed to her coming off the bench. I don't disagree with you on that at all I know what he said, but he wanted I'm just saying he just said she shouldn't be starting what I'm saying I don't disagree with that what I'm saying when you're talking about like players when they're coming in you talk about Jackie young He's gonna be playing these girls coming in and they're talking about Jackie Young. He's saying he shouldn't be playing at home. These girls coming in and they're... That's what he's saying. They're productive, like they're quick production. And you're saying... Without question.

You have all this time here that's giving you nothing. You have this, maybe let's just... Maybe let's just switch it like that. That's all I'm saying. Let's just switch that. That algorithm just seems a little bit off right here. I think a lot of that is... Maybe we won't start off so bad.

Going back to the same conversation we had with the men, right? Like, I question what the staff is doing. You have your head coach, and the head coach is going to say whatever, do whatever. But my question is, where does the staff, the assistant coaches come in and say, Coach, here's what we think. And at the end of the day, the head coach

is the one that's going to make the decision. But... And why Steve Kerr? Listen, but right now it's working. Right now what she's doing is working. That's... Is it? It's working.

No, no, no. No, no, no. But you know how you said, we starting off slow. But everybody sees that. Two on five. I also don't know how they don't see that. You know what I mean? And until we lose, it ain't changing.

I got a question for you. Can any of these teams see your team? No. This team? Against our, like, 96-2000-2004 team? Oh, God. Any one of those three teams? No, no.

Especially the 96 team. Why? We were different. I didn't even say her name. I'm just thinking about the fans. No, but I mean, like, myself, Lisa, Dawn, Teresa, Katrina, Ruthie, like. And our mentality was just different. It was just very different from this team.

And when I look at our 96 team and this particular team, and I question, like, from a defensive standpoint, oh, we were going to get buckets. I don't. No problem with this squad? I don't think they're a very good defensive team. And I was going to score. Lisa was going to score.

Dawn was going to do her thing and make sure the ball got to where it was going, where it needed to be. And people who don't know or remember Katrina McClain and Teresa Edwards, like, those were some OGs that were just nice. And I look at just match-ups with this team. I don't. You guys were way more physical, too, huh? Yeah.

But we were different. Seriously, like our... And that 96 team, we trained together for an entire year. Okay. Like, we went to Europe. We did a college tour. We were... Okay.

Correct, like, 50 and 0 or 60, something like that. I don't know. Please tell me. Get it correct. I don't want to be wrong on stats. We're going to say 70. It wasn't 70. Anywhere from 50 to 70. I. It wasn't 70. Anywhere from 50 to 70. I know it wasn't 70. Anywhere from 50 to 70.

Anywhere from 50 to 70. We didn't lose a game. We all played together. We didn't lose. What I know is that we didn't lose. Right? Yeah. And being together that year, like we really bonded and it was just beautiful to watch when we played. And from a physical standpoint,

yeah, we were going to lay a few people out. We were just different. I love this team. I'm a huge Asia fan, Stewie fan, but no. I like it. I like it. I get it. But that's the thing.

You're just watching them two, and then you're just like, y'all ain't going to. Like, I'd be just sitting there like, help out, motherfucker. Go make a layup or something just because the defense, at this point, the defense might as well just guard these two because obviously the other three y'all just ain't here today. He said help out. Help out.

I ain't gonna do nothing. He said help out. Like, plumb, like, yo. I think who, yeah, for sure. It's like they're trying to do something that they don't suppose to do. It's Asia Stewie, Chelsea, yo, I think who... Yeah, for sure. It's like they're trying to do something that they don't suppose to do. It's Asia Stewie, Chelsea, Diana. I don't know who the fifth starter is. Chelsea Gray, Diana, Asia Stewie. Oh, Nafisa Collier.

Yeah. Yeah. So, light work with any of the 96-2000-2004 versus 2024 squad. I mean, even the squads before that, too. In your opinion, is 1996 the gold standard for the Team USA women's?

I think so. The unfavorable. And now, in pursuit of their A straight gold medal, when is this streak stopping or is it ever going to stop? I hope it doesn't.

But you know, I will say this. Who was close? Say it again. Who was close? Who was close? What country do you think is the biggest competition? I was going to say, I think other countries are getting better. Yeah, they're getting better.

You know, Australia, they have talent because a lot of Australians are actually playing in the WNBA. Yep. Okay. But the Nigeria national team just beat Australia, so I don't know. I agree. Australia, they have good talent, though. They have a lot of really good players who play in the WNBA. They ain't going to lose no time soon.

Yeah, I'm going to say, ain't going to be no time soon. Unless they start experimenting like motherfucking me and did in 04. Go take some college kids or some shit because it's been too dominant. Yeah. Well, we need to give the world a chance. How do you feel about that? Some dumb shit like that, right? I don't see it.

Unless they do some dumb shit like that, this shit gonna continue. And like the rest of the world's getting better, we have up and coming talent. Absolutely. That's also going to be better. Yeah. You know? When you look at my 2028 Olympics, you know, it's some of these, you got Asia Stewie for sure, 2028. You know?

Personally, I think you could have Caitlyn on that team in 2028. She'll be there. You could possibly have Angel Reese on that team in 2028. She'll be there. You could possibly have Angel Reese on that team in 2028. Like, you talk about... You could have Juju in 2028. Or she's going to have Paige.

For sure have Paige. That's the younger talent. Juju from L.A. Sure, no doubt. It was seen from a marketing standpoint standpoint getting Juju on that squad. But, I mean, but just from just the studies, you're going to have Clark, Paige, and Juju. 100%. She'll be eligible then.

Excuse me. Juju will be eligible in the 28th. She will be. Excuse me. Yes. But let's not forget about Asia and Stewie who will still be playing. No, no, no. No, no.

No. When we talk about teams, we don't talk about Michael Jordan and the ones who will still be playing. No, no, no. When we talk about teams, we don't talk about Michael Jordan and the ones who are guaranteed. We're talking about how you fill out the resume. Why it's going to continue. The reason why I put them is because it's great with the up-and-coming talent,

but you got to have some vets that can still show the younger ones this is what it's all about, you know? And the position that they play, when it's all said and done in y'all's sport, still, and height matters, size matters in the W more than... So when you need a bucket,

you know you can throw this thing down, too. You know what I'm saying? So I'm not going to... I hope we don't look at it. It ain't going to happen. Would you like to see our basketball teams go against the world?

So, like, meaning, like, all the other countries they team up, like, they pick their best players. I would love to see that. Wait, WNBA or men? Both. Both.

I'd love to see it. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, so you have Australia, you have, like, all these... Are you laughing at me? No. What is the question? I just know where this conversation is going. I'm asking, would she like to see a day... Are you talking what I'm saying? Like, so you have Australia, you have... Are you laughing at me? No. I just know where this conversation is going.

I'm asking, would she like to see a day... Is that where he's going with this? No, no. Would she like to see a day where our men's USA team and women's USA team play against, like, all the countries and they pick their best players to play against us? That's what they're doing. It's called the Olympics. No, I'm talking about...

You got Spain, you got all these countries. Like, they just pick their best players. Yeah, that's what they're doing. It's called the Olympics. No, I'm talking about you got Spain, you got all these countries. They just pick their best players. Yeah, that's what they're doing. It's called the Olympics. Spain has the best players in Spain. No, but they come together, so you pick the 12 best European players to come play against us. The 12 best, period. They don't have to be from the same country. Yeah, they don't have to be from the same country. So Spain brings theirs.

It changes in WNBA. He's just asking a question, Oguil. WNBA is tricky. No, WNBA is tricky because just asking a question, O'Gill. No, WNBA is tricky because all the best players, right? WNBA, they're still washed away. Because they play both.

Yeah, but he's making a big effort. I'm just asking. What is the fight you're trying to make? Well, for us, I would like to see us take our best WNBA players and play against the best world players. No matter what country. I just feel like that's the best competition we'll get.

Other than playing against their country just like Spain. Like right now. Top international. Giannis will be on the team with Jokic. Oh, that should have been tricky. Jokic, Luka. Yeah, I'd love to see that. I just think that's the best

we'll ever get. We're going to blow everybody out every time. That's what the game is. I would. I'd love to see that. If you try to put a lineup together, you're going to realize the overseas, international, do not have shooting guards, but it balances out.

It's okay, though. We want to go big anyway. But you got gotta make a team Oh, but you got to make a team. So you have 12 just can't have fucking 12 wings Gil No what I'm saying, right? Team together I think about what I'm but America born bigs gonna get destroyed the wings the guard position gonna be more dominant But that's what I'm gonna see so it's gonna balance out You balance out Yes, it about I'm saying we're in the league, and then you'll get two that

we don't know about. I think it'll balance out, because I'm pretty sure there's some European guys over there that's motherfucking really good. Gil don't like that idea. I did the research. Like I said, but you gotta put a team together, though, Gil.

I keep giving them a list. No, I'm saying the European community, they need to put a team together. Give me y'all best 12 players of the year. Yes, you can put a team together. Give me that list. All right, so who's the international shooting guard? Give me that list. International players?

The dude that's playing for Serbia right now. Right. What's his name? Yeah. Bogdanovich. Bogdanovich. Okay. Now, who's his backup?

So Bogdanovich is the starter. I'm pretty sure there are some guys that we don't know. That we don't know. That's my thing. That's my thing. No, for sure. Why? Why? You there are some guys that we don't know. That's my thing. Why? Because we don't know.

But they playing over there, Gil? They're good enough to be on this team. They're good enough to be on the top. Listen, Gil, I guarantee, just like how them dudes are good enough to come over here, there are some dudes that skill set is that. That is the thing. That's some nice guys over there that never come back. Let's hear me out.

How many guys from the inner city, the hood, the state of fucking California when you were growing up that you were like, that motherfucker nice. A lot. The grades got in the way. His environment got in the way. A lot of shit,

but his fucking skill set, you was like, that motherfucker a pro. Let me do my P&D. Or he go, he's a pro. Yeah. What are you,

what's that for? There is that in other countries is what I'm saying. So guys that's really, really good, it could be anything why they not getting picked to play in the NBA.

They not getting, they not all getting the best of the best of the best all the time. Okay, but... They're hand-picking who they want, right? Okay, but just like anything, when we're trying to put a team together, if there's a bunch of kids that are hood good, how do we even know?

How do we even... We don't know this. But that's us. But that ain't for us, though. They're putting... Because Gil. That's them putting their team together. They're putting their team together.

He don't want to see it. They're not letting you, Gil. They're not letting you put their team together. No, it's team together. He don't want to see it. They're not letting you get it. They're not letting you put their team together. No, it's not. No, it's not. It's not fantasy. That's just like me saying, all right, all right, the best high school kids, we're going to put them up. No, we're talking about professional athletes here.

Right. We're talking about professional athletes. So a bunch of hood niggas that never played in the NBA, we're going to put them on a team? No, Gil, you watch NBA basketball regularly, right? Yes. Do you watch the EuroLeague? No. My point exactly. Okay. There's people that do, though. Yes. There's a the EuroLeague? No. My point exactly.

There's people that do, though. So therefore, they're from those countries, right? I know what the EuroLeague, the best players are, oh, Americans. But you ain't, no. No, they're not real. People from, just because the Americans are leading the team in scoring

and stuff like that, it's fine. But how do you take all this theory and put it in real time? Because let me ask you this. On the Serbia team, right, how many pros are on that team that play in the NBA? Three or four. So their roster is made up of seven other guys that are professional athletes playing basketball. Uh-huh.

Spain. From Serbia. Spain. How many guys are there from Spain that's in the NBA? One or two. So the rest, so they have ten other guys

that's good enough to play in the Olympics for their country. Right? You don't see them play. Uh-huh. They could have a fucking Claylay Thompson over there, bitch, that shoot the laces off that motherfucker that you have no idea about.

So if you don't have no idea, how can... I say you. Then how can we have a conversation about something we don't know? I can say we have Superman in the backyard playing he's never been in the NBA. It's just fake shit. No, it's not. We're talking about real fucking fucking people you're talking about 12 players on the spain team we're talking about

12 players on the spain team who wasn't good enough to be in the nba but now he's good enough to make the all-world team yes for his country yes gil but you're trying to say let's put a okay can we can we go back to that yes we're trying to put 12 players of the best players in the country, right? Now let's say a motherfucker by the name of whoever is the starting shooting guard everybody goes like who the fuck is this? Okay, that's fine Yo, everybody in America is gonna say who the fuck is this right? Not everybody over there All right, but when you were living in fantasy world now, oh, no, you just living in the United States You're trying to put a fantasy game together, but you're just making up rules of people who don't even exist

How do we judge a group of people Here that played I just said name a back-up shooting guard. He said, well, somebody in the country. I don't know him because I'm not there. The only person that's played in fucking Europe over here went over there, motherfucker, has a great talent that didn't fucking play at all.

He can speak to this. Those dudes over there can play, yes or no? Yeah. From their country, right? Yep, and they just don't come over here just because they don't know this but they night but they nice But they nice as hell Shit, they know what picking in gay drivers you 10th and I said I'm better than him. Oh, it's my fucking really good. You want you throughout the country?

Y'all plan is your you like that motherfucker really good. So... He's... Trust me, man. Okay, so the guys that you would be picking from technically has to be in the Olympics right now playing for the country. Probably. I don't know. More than likely, yeah.

But you still got... So now... But listen... But you're still taking the top NBA. It's only 12. You're only taking 12. You're only taking 12 players. So somebody's...

What he's presenting, right? But listen... You're still going to have Luke on You're only taking 12. You're only taking 12 players. So somebody's off. What he's presenting, right? But listen, it's only 12. You're still going to have Luke on the team. Yep, shut up. Giannis. Giannis. Wimby. I'm just throwing, like, you're still going to have all of them.

You can have SGA. You can have Jamal Murray. Yep, yep, yes, yes. They're going. Just the point guards. Those are the point guards. And you also have teams who aren't going to play. I'm just asking.

How does that look? I'm just asking. How does that look? You have other countries that qualify for the Olympics that still have good talent. That's the only thing I want to see one time. If we keep playing against these countries. How do you have an argument of something you don't know? We don't know because we don't know them. But there are people in Europe who watch these guys play every day. Nobody do.

And they're like, you know what? They do now. No, they don't. Yes, they do. We're going to put you on the team. We need Gabriel. But you see, so to fill the roster that Brandon just presented, right? Yeah, so fill the roster.

To fill the roster that he just presented, you building a team from you need a couple point guards, right? You need a couple shooting guards, a couple small forwards, a couple power forwards, a couple center, right? And you keep saying Euro and you keep throwing in Canada, dog. You can't. You're going to be correct. So be correct then. It's us against the world. Okay, just be correct. Versus the world. Okay, just be correct. United States of America versus the world. Yes, the world.

So we're taking the best 12 to 15 players, however you want to do it, from around the world that's not from the United States of America. 50 fucking states. Puerto Rico not included. Puerto Rico is his own thing. It's his own fucking country. Yeah. So do they...

No. They can put... They over here. The world. Canada. Okay, okay. Europe, Russia, fucking Spain. Africa. Okay, got it.

Yeah. Right? Mm-hmm. The best 12 people from their respective countries versus the best 12 Americans. Mm-hmm. That'd be a hell of a game. That's the fucking game.

I'm telling you. I've been telling you for years. This'll be a game, bro. This ain't no game. I think it will be. Playing everybody in a different country, that's easy.

You can almost take 12 from the NBA. It's gonna be tough. Right? You can almost take 12 international players from the NBA and put them on the team.

Is Steve Kerr the coach for the NBA? No, he's not. No, we're not going to let him botch that. No, no, no, no, no, no, he's not. We're not going to let him botch that. That may shift the line a little bit. He ain't botching that. We ain't going to let him botch that.

But I'm just thinking of the talent that the NBA has that's from around the world. It's a good chance. Well, isn't that what Ice Cube want to do with his three-on-three? It's a good chance. I'm just saying. Gil don't like the idea, though. So, speaking of three-on-three shit, right?

Yeah. It ain't like the WMD on break right now. Because the girls are playing. So, you couldn't get three of them, four? We had a couple. We had Lakers. We, who was it? Uh, I'm sorry. Yeah Yeah, we had Erica So what what other ones on you?

Go over again cook so that but that's my argument on One both me inside so they go on both sides. So you got what you got goddamn Jimmer and Some dudes that work on fucking Wall Street. There's, um... We got no fucking dudes that work on Stock Exchange. Well, yeah. Mike, they could have been Ryan Howard, Beasley, and George Crawford. Who the fuck?

I want Ryan Howard. Who? Ryan Howard's nice. He's nice. He's nice. What team? Are we talking about men or women? Women's three on three team.

Yeah, three on three team. What's wrong with you? Oh, and Necker? Necker couldn't be on that team? Are we talking about men or women? Women's three-on-three team. Yeah, three-on-three team. What's wrong with you? Necker couldn't be on that team? No, no, no, no. Oh, no. So, no, I'm just saying because I didn't understand either. So I asked this question two days ago. Apparently there's, like everything else,

there's a pool, right, of players who can play three-on-three. And they have to have a certain amount of, like, three-on-three points, which means throughout the season, they're going somewhere and they're playing three-on-three. Because I said the same thing, like, why couldn't we get a Kennedy Carter to play three-on-three or an Enrique Aguambuale, right? And so there's, like, all these different rules. So you can't just go pick a player in the WNBA and say, we want you to go play three on three.

Because if she doesn't have enough, like, three on three points, per se, she doesn't... I guess it's the same on the men's side. She doesn't qualify. Yeah, they don't qualify to play three on three. That shit weak. I just... Because I asked the same question. I was like, I don't understand. She doesn't qualify. Yeah, they don't qualify to play. Jimmer for dead. Three on three. That shit weak. I just, because I asked the same question. I was like, I don't understand how this works.

Yeah, because we was, our point guard was a guard. I mean, she's a three on three. Haley, Van Lint. Haley. Yeah, so Haley, Haley played three on three last year. Like, Haley plays a lot of three on three. So she had however many points you need to qualify to play.

Sure, I played a lot of 3-on-3 in my life. Yeah, I played a hoop-it-up 3-on-3 somewhere. You know what I'm talking about? I played a hoop-it-up. Yeah, right on the shit. Outside, it was hot. That shit was hot as shit. It was hot.

In Dallas, you were playing 3-on-3. Yes. That shit was hot. You played in Dallas 3-on-3 hoop-it-up? Huh? Why we ain't send, like, Mike Beasley down there and, like, Gordon Crawford and them? Why we ain't send them down there? I know. Yep, we ain't sitting like Mike Beasley down there and like Gordon Crawford and them? Why we ain't sitting them down there?

Yep, we got the bronze. Three on three. Right, right, 15 foot. I mean, not even, I mean, just period, like Jimmy Butler. It's still, cause I don't give a fuck what nobody says. If some of these other players in the NBA that didn't make the Olympic team

and you come to me and say oh you want to Be on a 3-3 team bitch that gold is a gold. Well, I know them dudes playing big No, no minutes know what I know Joe Johnson got enough I'm an NBA player and I'm like, whoa. Wait, hold on before you even go to the big three. Hold on I need that on my wall I need a gold myself. And y'all ain't gonna ever put me on this team, but I can represent this country. No doubt.

John Morant could be in this motherfucker like, hey, listen, I know y'all ain't fucking with me right now. Yeah, shake that three on three. I can get our gold. Niggas be. No doubt. Right, you know what I mean? That shit fast.

Yeah. But that's what I'm saying. Those type of players that you kind of frowned upon, if you still want to use their services to get the gold medal, this is when you use them. Kyrie, ah, yeah, we're not gonna that you kind of frown upon, if you still want to use their services to get the gold medal, this is when you use them. Kyrie, ah, yeah, we're not going to put you on the Liberty team, but look, hey, three on three.

You want a gold. I mean, first of all, they're going to come out and watch, though. Gold. To watch Kyrie on that wing. Yes, this gold medal. Like, the concept of. One on one. You can't help.

You can't help. You can't help? Oh, my God. Curry about that bitch. Mike Beasley. Layup thing. Layup thing. Listen, I might... I would come to him like,

hey, listen, I know this is... Yeah. I know the answer, but look. But look, dog. Just entertain me for a second. Entertain me. Shit, I'm stunting on the... Here's the suitcase first.

Here's the suitcase. Huh? That's yours either way I Need you in the three-on-three is the two million Just I did just just weird No, cuz I'm telling you like if I knew there was a three-on-three league and I didn't make the Olympic team motherfucker Trust me. I'm gonna be I'm going to be lobbying.

Well, I think that, like Cheryl was saying, the way to climb up the ranks, you got to play a bunch of events in the offseason. A lot of dudes are trying to sacrifice their bag playing in those three-on-three. You know, God forbid you mess around and get hurt and now it impacts your NBA career. Because that goddamn Pargo boy

and the goddamn Big Three cooking motherfuckers. I can tell you this right now. I'm pretty sure if players now understand, right, you understand now, if I'm an NBA player, if I'm an NBA player and I understand I got to play some three-on-three to get points for the 2008 Olympics, and I can be on this team to get a gold medal

knowing that I might not be on that team, I might sacrifice some summers to play three on three. Knowing that I'm going to be the best player, and I'm going to be holding the country. It's a gold medal. It's a loophole. That's what I'm saying. It's a gold medal.

It's a loophole. It's still a gold medal. It's like the E. It's no different than being on the Olympic team, the USA team. Most of those guys, we don't give a fuck. I'm, you know, KD, what's her name? I be sitting on the bench like this. Get my little gold medal.

They don't, they don't. Hey, nobody knows how much we average on this bitch. My son asked me, like, yeah, I was averaging 20, 27. That's what I said. When you get your gold medal, it doesn't say only played X amount of minutes, scored X amount of points. It's a gold medal. Let's keep this thing moving. So before we get to Mosey fans, we got to talk about a situation that happened a couple

weeks ago. South Sudan had an impressive Olympic run, qualified for their first Olympics, getting their first win in their first group stage against Puerto Rico, nearly pulling off the upset on Team USA. Hold on. When you say an impressive Olympic run, what do you mean by that? Just making the Olympics. A very young nation.

You've only been around for 13 years. No, no, no. Like, nobody knew about that. No, wait, hold on. Because I need to, because the context. Feels like the Jamaican bobsled team. Like, you weren't expecting that. Whoa, that's racist.

No. He can't. You just made some cool runnings. You can't do that. Oh, I forgot. Yeah, yeah. That's Jamaica. They ain't got nothing to do.

A team a lot of people weren't expecting much from came very surprising. They had that scare with the Team USA squad. Exhibition LeBron had to hit the game winner. So, Gil, you made some... Because when you say Olympic run, Olympics just started. Right now. And, you know... The group stage.

You mean before. The lead up. Gil, you made them famous. South Sudan. Hey, don't... Hey. You mean the four. The lead up. Gil, you made them famous. South Sudan. Hey, don't. Hey. We here with it. You can't say that, though, because they don't like me, but they don't realize you got to.

All right. So, Gil, you made some questionable comments about South Sudan Squad. Had the entire continent of Africa in their feelings. Even Madagascar. They was on you, Gil. The movie? The producer. The African country, Gil. Oh,? The producers? The African country Gil.

Oh man. Oh. Okay. Beautiful island country. I thought it was on me. What do you have to say? I'm public school. What the fuck?

I supposed to know what I thought it was. Ladies and gentlemen this is Gil's arena so you know what to expect watching this show. To movie? I'm like god damn the producers man? So what do you have to say to South Sudan Olympic basketball squad? As, congrats, I mean good job. Okay. That's all we wanted to get. the producers about it? So what do you have to say to South Sudan Olympic basketball squad? As, I mean,

good job. Okay, that's all we wanted to get. Like, what do you mean? Good job. No, thank you.

First of all, we should be asking a question about everybody else that, that decided that a team that almost beat us, you guys are going

to cheer for because you spend most of your time hating on Decided that a team that almost beat us you guys are gonna cheer for because You spend most of your time hating on the people that are on the team like I'm sorry, but I'm a one of them. I'm an actual true fan. That means it's my team versus yours and fuck yours, right? That's just me right two is now it's usa so now it's usa versus everybody else so fuck everybody else fair so when i see american reporters writing who's gonna beat usa or this team is gonna beat or and you're going for the other team giving an illusion

that these motherfuckers i'm sorry i, I can't stand for that, right? It's us versus them. You're an American reporter. I don't give a fuck what your feelings is. It's, I want gold. I don't give a fuck. I don't know what y'all want. Y'all hate LeBron so much.

This seems like this is more of a lebron hate right it's like since lebron is on the team it seems like report whoever hates lebron don't we want to see american lose they want to see america lose so they can say he's not the goat sorry did your favorite players on this team too cheer like this is an american team. I don't understand the concept of you guys going for a Cinderella team. I'm sorry. I don't know about no Cinderella team, dog. Go in there,

smack their ass like we're going to do the rest of them. But they give Team USA a skit. I don't give a fuck what they did. I'm just pointing it out, Gil. Am I hosting? I hope Puerto Rico right now lose by a hundred. That's facts. This is Olympics, bro. Yeah, Olympics.

When it comes to that, I'm proving it. You want to put on your, whoever gets close to USA jersey on? That's what this is. Whoever almost beat, oh, that's our team now. That's how we work here. Whoever gets close to beating something we don't like, we cheer for it. I'm sorry. I don't give a fuck if we won by one or a hundred.

We won. I just know one thing. We won't see no Sudan jerseys in this round or the next round. I hope the support's still there. Yeah. Do they send money? I don't know, Gil. All right. Is there a GoFundMe? I hope they do. All right. Yeah. Do they send money? I don't know, Gil.

All right, is there a GoFundMe? I hope they do. All right. It seems like. No, I'm just saying. Gil, you're rich. I'm just saying. I'm pretty sure before my comments, the reporters that were reporting on it

didn't report on them before. Because, you know, I Googled. I wanted to know the Sudan traffic before I said anything. South Sudan. The South Sudan. What was the traffic? So, Gil, were you playing chess and helping to try to promote South Sudan

in your Gilbert Arenas type of way? To people's devil's advocate shits and giggles, the fact that the game was even close, right? Yeah. Gave some people something to talk about. Mm-hmm. Right? They gave them ammunition where there did need to be ammunition.

No facts. Right? Mm-hmm. So that's the... What shit? I don't like him anyway, so shit. I don't give a motherfucking lose shit, right? So they gave him a little ammunition, right?

And they could have been like, oh, this shit ain't gonna be close. Then when it is close, you're like... Well, shit ain't gonna give him a... No, that's all. I get that. What I don't get is the you have to keep everything in its context. And we

don't do that. So everybody's like, oh, your jokes was disrespectful. Your jokes is racist. Your jokes is ignorant. Well, one, jokes are ignorant. That's the point of joking. I've never when you talk about someone that's big right their feelings is hurt yeah

but you know everybody else were laughing we're dealing the stuff you're pointing at me no no no I'm just pointing over here. No, I'm just saying. I'm a bigger gentleman. Every joke that is being said, it's offensive. Right? You make an LGBT joke, there's a group that's going to be mad. You make a fat joke, there's going to be a group that's going to be mad. You make a racist joke, there's going to be a group that's going to be mad.

That's the point of that. So either you're going to keep the shit in its context or you're gonna just say everything is offensive. Right? Mm-hmm. Right? The word... Nigga.

Right? Mm-hmm. The word itself is a racist word. Right? It is racist. Mm-hmm. No matter who uses it. Technically, it's supposed to be racist.

Mm. Right? But obviously, the way we use it versus the way white people use it, the context is different. Right? But obviously the way we use it versus the way white people use it, the context is different. Right? So if I sing a song that has the lyrics in it right? Chris Kendrick's song

Fuck the Big Three Niggas Just Big Me. Right? The context of the song is regular. The context, how he used it, not racist. Now, if a white person says the same exact lyrics in the same context, we want to now call him racist because now we're going to remove just the word itself and put it in racist terms when the context itself wasn't racist when they said it.

You can't do that you got to leave everything in this context so you can't say my joke was not funny you're a racist you you're starting off by saying my joke if you don't like the joke just say the joke wasn't funny to you and then keep it fucking moving don't say it was a joke and then you take the joke and then say, oh, you're a racist because you said this. No, you put my shit back where it came from. Put my shit

back in the joke and then say my joke wasn't funny. To you. To you. It wasn't funny to you. Don't now take it and say, oh, I'm offended. Well, fuck you. I don't give a fuck what you're offended for because one, you wasn't on this team.

You're not one of these players on here that I was talking about. I'm sorry that you decided you care and you want to be offended and jump into I don't respect or understand your involvement in this. Oh, I get it. You know what I mean?

You just can't sub yourself in. Fuck you. Oh, no. That's just like the Jeremy Lin shit. When I said something about him, motherfucker was like, I hate Asians. Like, no. No, I don't. No. Like, Chinese, I have no problem with Chinese people. No, whatsoever. I just had a joke about him. Like, nothing about other, no other Asian person, Chinese ever. It's just him. It was funny. And you guys addressed it. Yeah. other, no other Asian person, Chinese, ever. It's just him. It was funny. And you guys addressed it. Yeah, yeah. We addressed the shit. We moved on from it, but it's just... And we laughed about it on the phone.

This is like... But yeah, I get your point. You addressed it, talked to Luau Dane. You guys have moved on. Yeah, because one, I didn't know that was Luau's team. I didn't know that was Dane's team. I mean, if it was his team, I probably wouldn't have went so hard, right? Because, you know, I played against him a lot. So once I realized it, I was, ah, damn.

So I hit him. You know me. You know me, but, you know, for the most part. And that's the side people don't see about you. At the end of the day, man, you got to keep my shit in my context. You can't take it out of the context and try to use it to fit your narrative. People are going to do it all the time.

I'm going to do it all the fucking time. They can't wait to do that. To fit whatever narrative they're going to use it to fit whatever narrative. Every day. I've been there. And that's why when people say, why are you not apologizing? I'm not apologizing to your narrative. That's your narrative.

I'm an equal opportunizing? I'm not apologizing to your narrative. That's your narrative. Yeah. Right? I'm an ego opportunist. I'm equal. It happens. It surely does. Agent Brona, right? Everybody can get it. That's what I'm talking about.

Somebody from Jamaica was mad at me. Right? The can man. This is a thing, too, that I realized. Someone was like, you're ignorant. Everything you said is false. So why are you offended if it's false? That makes no sense then.

Because if I didn't say anything that has to do with the team, then you shouldn't be offended. First of all, right? If I be like, yo, you about to die of diabetes, I can smell it on you, and you don't have diabetes, you shouldn't be offended, first of all, right? If I be like, yo, you about to die of diabetes, I can smell it on you, and you don't have diabetes, you shouldn't get mad. But it's the thought of what I'm saying that offends it. Right? Like, I literally...

Now, people's like... You know, because I always... Anybody that's big, I always throw that one. I can smell the diabetes on you right now. Cool run-ins. Right? Jamaica has nothing to do with South Sudan. Right?

So that joke don't even fit you. Right? Y'all don't even make shoes. America's in your shoes. I think America don't even make shoes. Right? Just thought about it. Right?

Still piss you off. Right? The air up there. Which was clever. It was clever. Clever as hell. Clever because, you know, air up there was when you came out They aired up there. Which was clever. It was clever. Clever as hell. Clever because, you know, air up there was when you came out, right?

2004. It was, no, 94. I don't know. Remember, it was a white man that went over to Kenya. It was a 90s movie. It was a white man who went over to Kenya and grabbed him in Africa.

People don't know. This is the cover part. It was super problematic. It was off of Manute Bull, who's South Sudan. So they did that. Yeah. See, so it was a little, it was a little, and then the ahi ahi trial, I was just eating ahi fish

at the time. And I just thought, just seeing it twice, just seeing it. Like, I was just seeing it, you know what I mean? Like, it's just ahi ahi shit. Like, nothing I said was real. Like, it's just, you know what I mean? It's just like, nothing I said was real. It's just some fake shit. I'm just making it up in real time. Tuna.

I'm just eating some tuna right now. Like, yeah, this motherfucker. It fits. It fits. Try it. That's exactly what I'm thinking. Now let's move on to most of it. That's what I said.

It's just, it's, I just know how to fuck with people, man. It's just, move on to most of it. I did what I said. It's just, it's... I just know how to fuck with people, man. It's just... Let's move on to most of it. I did a good job. He did an excellent job with this one. If you don't see us tomorrow, it's been an impressive run. Yeah.

No, it's South Sudan. We won't see them tomorrow. Impressive run. So we've got an email question from underdog user AMG Kirk. Stupid. He said, do you think it's fair that USA

has to use an all-star roster for the Olympics when other countries only have one or two NBA stars or none at all? It's not our fault. That's where we're born. It's not our fault. That's why we're trying to come up with the concept of... Yeah. I mean, we're sending our best supposedly like they're sending their best.

I mean, yeah, we're... Point blank, period. I mean, that's... I don't feel bad. See, that's what I'm saying. mean, yeah, we're... Point blank, period. I mean, that's... I don't feel bad. See, that's what I'm saying. Like, something like that just... It's a dumb question because you're sending your country's best.

Yeah. Right, we're sending our country's best. Yeah. Just like war. But the problem with it is it's not fair what overseas countries are doing. Embiid. Where is he from?

Cameroon. Right? What says French ties? Nothing. He has no French ties, but they're trying to put him on a team. See, now that becomes the problem, right? So when we talk about these teams

some of these some of these countries these guys that have no ties you're creating ties for them oh your great great great daddy second cousin on the mama side had had sex with someone who was in australia so you can be on the team like? So can we see what your teams will look like with just purebred people who were born in that country? Right, but for the most part, no one cares. We're just going out there and playing. But for some of these countries, some of these guys are not even part of the...

There's two kids that's on the Sudan's team that's from Canada. They should be on the Canadaada team they can be like some of the some of the teams that they have citizenship in three different countries where they can play yeah yeah you know from playing over there overseas like the best player in the sudan team he's an american kid so we don't know what your best will look like if we just stuck with the terms of your country, born in your country itself. Right? So somebody like Embiid would never probably play in the Olympics because the problem comes this. Your professional player is never in the league, is never there when it's time for you to try to qualify.

So now you got to, let's say, the Canada team, right? Now the players who play in Canada the whole time, they get pushed out by all the NBA players who's never there. It just gets turned over to them. Think about Patty Mills, Australia. He comes in when? Once every two years, four years, and it's my team, and obviously everybody

knows but everybody else who's been playing together it all automatically turns into Dennis Schroeder it automatically turns into his team so it is what it is I just we can't help that this is you can't blame us for having no I mean you can't that's just the game is the game. You gotta deal with it. It's definitely fair. Hey, speaking of the Olympics and being fair, am I the only one that be looking at some of the sports and be like, damn, when they create this shit? Like, where do you practice this?

Yes, absolutely. Like, I be sitting there like, where you trained for this? I'm like, what the fuck sport is this? Like, who came up with this shit? Like, they have some canoeing or kayaking. When you have to go against the thing. I'm enjoying watching, but I'm like, how many people can actually play this sport?

Like, how is this an Olympic sport versus... Some of these sports is too rich for America, I can tell you that. Like, why is handball... I thought handball was the one... Right? It's the... The bounce, the bounce. Yeah, you bounce it like... No, with the little stick, the little paddle thing,

then come, I don't know what the hell that shit is. It's just, man... Like ping... No, yeah, they got something... Table tennis. It's table tennis and it's ping pong. Oh. Table tennis and... What? Yeah, it's two different things.

Oh, shit. See, I didn't know. And then the pistol shooting and the rifle shooting and all that. Like, where do you... There's some other shit, yeah. CIA. Like, how can I sign up for that? And I got a good eye.

Y'all think this is going to keep you awake? Because all you need is one good eye, I guess. And steady hands. A goddamn chick went out there and hit the girl in the eye and made her nose start bleeding quick. Talking about she's a man. Oh, yeah. I've never been hit that hard.

That's fucked up, too. Yeah, you got hit by a man. Yeah. This is our show for the day. I mean, she came out and apologized for saying that. Team USA currently up 30 on Brazil right now. Why'd she apologize? Yeah, she got hit by a man.

Get in the wind. That is our show for the day. Good to be back in the arena. She felt like she got hit by a man, goddammit. With you gentlemen. She said she felt like she got hit by a man, goddammit. She can say what she want to. It's all fucking words.

It's been our show for today. We'll be back the rest of the week, Wednesday, Thursday. Hopefully we got Team USA men getting the dub today. Hopefully women... Hopefully. No, we got Team USA men, hopefully the women's squad tomorrow. Oh, I thought you said hopefully the men get the dub. No, they're up 30.

It's a wrap. Seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter. That shit is over. It's over. But we appreciate y'all pulling up. Good to be back in Gil's Arena presented by Underdog Fantasy. It's over. But we appreciate y'all pulling up. Good to be back in Gil's Arena presented by Underdog Fantasy.

Woo, woo! Woo, woo! We will see y'all tomorrow.
