Gil's Arena - Jayson Tatum's Disrespect DIVIDES The Gil's Arena Crew

Episode Date: February 27, 2025

Jayson Tatum's Disrespect DIVIDES The Gil's Arena Crew as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to Jayson Tatum's comments surrounding the disrespect he faces as one of the best young players in the game, sparking a hostile debate on if Brandon Jennings calling the Boston Celtics superstar soft started an unfair war on the 26 year old hooper that has accomplished it all in the NBA. They then move on to react to Paul George announcing the end of Podcast P as the Philadelphia 76ers forward looks to focus on helping his team make a playoff push, starting an interesting discussion on if this move could indicate the end of current players having podcasts in the middle of the season. The Gil's Arena Crew then moves upstairs to the court to face off in a HOSTILE game of 2 on 2 where Gil & Swaggy P take on Mr.B and Cemetery Larry. Finally, they return to the couch where they react to Nikola Jokic's career high game that might've vaulted him over Shai Gilgeous Alexander in the NBA MVP race and break down the rest of the season for the Milwaukee Bucks who are left without Bobby Portis due to an ongoing suspension.

But proceeded to trick off the two-on-two competition. Uh, did not help Gil at all. Gil had to go 1-1 flat. He wasn't putting in no work, man.

Oh, I'm a fly man now. And when I see you, when I see you open, I give it to you. I'm a sinner. When I see you open, I give it to you. Okay, I got the knee brace on. I was going to come out and do something for you. You did something. You used to call plays for me. I just called.

I did. Swaggy, how do you feel about... Pass you, set a screen, cut. Did you backdoor? And I was wide open. But the play wasn't really for you. It was for me to shoot the shot. Like, I thought Brandon was going to try to...

Help? Yeah. Swaggy, how does it feel to let your team down in that two-on-two game? Wow. Gil, trying to get you to rock. In my opinion, you need to do a good job getting open. We're not at the corner, as Gil requested. He's trying to put me back on that corner.

I ain't going back. You're not going back to the corner. I'm not going back. I refuse. I was Jason Tatum. You did have the Tatums on. I just got some money, too. But you got Jaylen Brown.

You took all... yeah, I did. See? You want to be finals MVP so bad. Bro, to be honest, look, you look tired. Oh. I look tired, right? I was tired. He looked tired.

Yeah. The only one over here with some energy, bro. We had to work. Made you put your shoes on. Waggy, the chat is requesting that you go back to the corner. Thank you, man. Wow. I'm just telling you what the chat the corner. Thank you, man. Wow. I'm just telling you what the chat's saying.

This is the winner's side. You come back from the war. I should be over there too. PTSD? I got PTSD. Is it called PTSD? PTSD? L-O-S-E.

It's PTSD. That's spelled loose. Man, dog. I'm going to go back to the corner. Is it called PTSD? L o s e is That's that's a loop Man I was trying to tell y'all man when you buy yourself swag is taking the time I got to go through double teams into who went through double teams in two on two I never see somebody wide open in two on two Strategy, you know what? I see you ever see somebody wide open in 202?

We know who taking all the shots. That's crazy. We know who taking all the shots. You know how bad you got to be for your man to leave you and choose? He's supposed to be brothers. You know what I'm saying, man? That's crazy. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the actual arena.

This is Gil's Arena presented by Underdog Wood. See how MJ felt, man, when he came back with the Wizards, dog? Swaggy has taken off the tag on him. You see that? That's the Wizard mentality, see? Ellis, I'm Jordan year three. I'm averaging 37, but I don't know who else is out here on my team.

You're trying to treat me like that damn Horace Grant. Huh? Yeah. Good. Did you feel like MJ wearing his practice gear? No, for real. Or did you see the line where you see the shots I was making Do you see the shots?

On two people in my face No warmer and now imagine if I warmed up up. All five. All five. Our strategy still goes. We still beat you. I won though. Because he with us. I won. He with us. I won today. I got us. Sag on swag. 100,000 in the bank. This is called 100,000. Me and Brandon said first things first. This is called 100,000. Gil going to jack all the shots. He He gonna shoot his team out the game anyway. So might as well sag on swag. Well, timeout technically. You shot us out the game.

Pick and roll. Pick and roll was there every time. Every time. No, listen to me. Where you get all these old ass accessories at? No, listen to me. Accessories. Listen to me.

Think about it. I made- I'm thinking the twos is worth twos. So I hit two twos, which was four. My post-up would have been game. And I would have passed it. We established the rule before the game. Every shot was one point.

We're playing NBA rules. All I'm saying is I wasn't there. So look, think about what I'm saying. We're going to five. I hit two twos, that's four. I'm on the game winner. He was there. Obviously they doubled.

He was looking in the stands. I ain't never played all one. He was looking in the stands. Hey, hold on. He's looking in the stands. I ain't never played all ones. He was looking in the stands. Hey, hold on. He's looking in the stands. Can I ask you a question? What? Because I'm thinking this is the game winner.

Why didn't you get the offensive rebound? Why would I be there? Because your man came and doubled. No, no, no, no, no. I mean, that is a point. I mean, he did double. You could have gotten the rebound. So I'm here to get rebound.

If your man doubled. It's get rebound. If your man doubled me If your man doubled me Nick, and I shoot the ball, you have the offensive rebound. So your highlight is fade away and I got to do this. Rebound. Game. You'd have been a hero. No, no, no, no, because you were shooting twos and me going all ones. No, man, listen, you know me. That was the game-winning all. I had the mouse in the house. I don't think they had four. Mouse in the house? Yeah. He scored three on you.

He scored three. I scored two. And his two, it was your man. Hey, you're not supposed to recall in the gas chamber, bro. They did a pick and roll. Hey, yo, that pick and roll was nice, though. When you get down there. That still was a game.

Hey, if you could give me all ones, fifties, I don a pick and roll. Hey, you're not gonna roll with you right down. I mean, that's okay Hey, if you can give me all from ones 50s. I don't want no hunnids in my hundred thousand My money on the line was that was the best that was That was low we pay on the I never heard that so we asked the chat who was the MVP of the two on two game No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Fuck that. You got one, two right. I'm MVP because of the shot difficulties on two people. And then shot because of three. And then house. Did y'all not see what he did out there? They see me moving.

No, you didn't do enough. No, I moved. Shot is MVP. No, he didn't do enough. That my bugger PJ Washington. I got assists and rebounds. PJ Washington. He's one. I'm two. Zero points, ten and PJ watch these people. I'm to zero points ten rebounds three people He's one he had three right he has three. I had two I was two and one and like who would to yeah

I like boy. I had two yeah rebound. I was being double-teamed What's the ball? Turnovers What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean?

What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean?

What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? up and you pass. I pass. That's the rule. Why would the better player pass it to the guy who's sitting out there? Then you gotta take the ball out and give it to me.

I had it. I'm flirting with a triple-double. You see how you did? Almost messed around. Dropped the triple-double. Ain't got a mask in here or something? Nope. I wanna be black man, blank man, blacked out.

Blank man. Who's the other guy? The other guy? The other guy. Listen, next time we play twos, Joe, can you be my teammate? Why? I will come out of retirement. He was teaming like I was in the team. Set screens, raise the team GPA. He will come out of retirement. He was teaming up.

Set screens, raise the team GPA. He's expecting you to just accept the role that he declined. I was about to say, you going to trap A, trap again. What do you mean decline? He declined it. He didn't decline that. I did. That's what happens in the NBA.

He had our jersey underneath there. He was on our team. Three versus one. Three versus one out that motherfucker. We told him, say it. Just like the season. Rally build, y'all. Rally build. Three verse one out that motherfucker. We told him, say it. So Gil, just like the season. Bradley Bill, y'all. Bradley Bill.

The chat may think I'm glazing right now. The chat may think I'm glazing right now. I win the three point shootout looking good like Bradley Bill, get traded to the Suns. No trade clause. So the chat may think I'm glazing right now, Gil, but at 43 years old, the defense you played in that game was like an all NBA defensive level.

Okay, like, you know. I'm just gonna score three on him. The two he scores because of the switch. You don't get to appreciate theacts. Okay? Like, you know, I'm just going to score three on him. The two he scores is because of the switch. You don't get to appreciate the greater part. I got two, two, and two, though. So that means every time

you guard me, something's happening. You see how you drinking that? If Swaggy would have brought a little bit more defense here, I think y'all would have got the dub. You do write the checks. If this was Swaggy's arena,

my opinion is maybe different. All I need you to do is announce who won, bro. That's all that fucking matters. That's all I want to hear is who the winners were. The winners were. No, no, no. We won, but they say he the MVP of the game. I don't care about that. Jerry West.

Jerry West, baby. I'm about to say. We know who the MVP is. Yeah, I'm about to say. I'm Jerry West. Because we got the championship. You feel me? So now we have three people with championship experience on this show. That's exactly how I live life, right? Y'all won. Y'all happy. I got the MVP.

And the other day. When they said, would you trade the MVP for a chip? Hell no. No way. That's crazy. Yeah. You wanted to be on his team. Right.

He was like, let's go. You know, back in the day, we used to play better than that. You know? He had, like, a connection and shit. I was hurt then. Damn. He was healthy. It did look like it. I was hurt then. Damn. He was healthy. Now we're both hurt.

So it's even, I don't need you no more. Gil, you been in the Michael Jordan practice gear with a pair of Hardens on. Bro. Some would consider that to work. But the Hardens are lovely. Come on. Dig in those.

No, what I'm saying is, look at the vibe. MJ Harden. Harden having the triple double one year. I took the strings out, so I didn't is look at the vibe. MJ Harden. Harden had a triple-double one year. I took the strings out, so I didn't have to. No strings attached. Just the name. Wait, what? Shout out to Adidas.

Best part of your All-Star weekend. 12 through 15. We back in the arena, game's done. We got some basketball topics that we need to discuss today here on Gil's Arena presented by Hunter Dog. Woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo. So Swag, you're technically a podcaster now.

Would you consider retiring after your performance that you had? No, I'm trying to get a 10-day. That's what he did. I was trying to get a 10-day. I'm trying to play with Bronny. You need to do some defensive slides. All right, well. Speaking of podcasting.

Hey, man. You strong as hell, dog. He is. Dog, you got that pick. That nigga broke my damn shoulder. I tried to box out. Bro, he said a pick on me, bro. Like, wait a minute.

That's just a good screen and roll. We both open. We're going to both be open. Just like in the game. Ouch. I tapped him. He didn't move, bro. I trying to box out a little bit. He's just...

Get out of here. Nothing. Nothing. I'm sorry, Joe, but I just... How much does Shirley weigh? You have to. You want to tell me. How much does Shirley weigh?

How much I be pushing up? I got whiplash like a ball. Pushing P. Pushing P. Pushing P. Pearl, come on over here. You're talking about pushing P. Well, let's talk a little for you. Pushing P. Pushing P. Pushing P. Pearl, come on over here. So, I'm talking about pushing P. Well, let's talk a little bit about podcast P.

Sixers dropped a road game to the Knicks last night to make it nine straight losses, but let's focus on Paul George. Man. Okay. I love, I love this. Talk a little bit about PG. He's been the subject of some criticism for continuing to host his podcast despite having a rough season and the Sixers struggling overall as a team.

This clip circulated yesterday with PG addressing his future on his podcast, Peace Show. Let's take a look. Ellis, it's no secret this season is up to this point, man. It hasn't been what we envisioned. I know my goal when I first signed with Philadelphia was to bring a championship to these amazing fans here. I still remain positive about that, and that is still the case and where I'm coming from.

With that being said, though, I want to let the podcast P family know that after today's episode with Dwight, I plan to take a break from the pod just to focus on getting my body right, getting mentally right, and help this squad make a push towards our goal to finish the season.

I'll give ourselves a chance to be in contention to compete for a championship. I won't front. The desire to get back to shooting in person with my guys as well is the forefront of, you know, this hiatus as well. I look forward to us three being back together and doing this as we once started this. Well, first of all, shout out Jackie Long. Shout out to Dallas as well. The look on their faces, like, we ain't got shit to do with this.

You're the one who wanted to go to Philly. But there you have it. PG stepping away from the pod for the near future to focus on hooping. He said to help the Sixers get back to being a championship level contender. Right now that not the case. But do you guys like PG's decision to step away from podcasting temporarily to focus on basketball? And they lost right after that?

Nine straight losses for the Philadelphia Sixers. But he had 27. He did? 27, eight and seven. So you saying that's a good thing? Yes. I don't know. I think it's kind of soft, bro.

Like, you got to have the mentality of like, fuck it. That's like listening to people that's getting in your mind, making you make decisions you really don't want to make, but you listening to the outside world so much, so you could tell that you could get him off his game easily because he listens too much. He don't got a fucking mentality. Like, I'm going to do me still.

Name me an active player that got a podcast as Hoopin. Draymond Green. Draymond Green, playing consistent. Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart. This sends a clear message. Who, Ray Trayon? I thought I sent a clear message. You sent this message to Terry Larry?

I think I did. And what message was that? That the mentality of saying, after a tough loss with your team, and saying that we don't have no identity, we don't have this, we don't have that. As a clear guy that's supposed to be the leader, as a guy who's been prepared and has trained to be in this position to be a leader, come in and be the savior, right? To relinquish that opportunity of leadership and then go still pod the whole time while going through these things with the team, you show where priority lays, right?

So if he does this at the beginning of the season instead of when they're trying to find contention, imagine how much more focused the team will be. Do you feel like he would have done this, let's say, six of the top three teams in the East right now and really have those championships? We've been saying this a long time. But we've been saying this too. A very good podcast, though.

We said, is it a smart thing for any player to do it when you're trying to be in a competitive landscape with teammates who don't do it? So I'm looking at you crazy. If you go pod and your performance on your pod is better than your performance in the game. Do you feel like that was the case? I'm saying if it's obvious because the podcast is top five.

Very good podcast. And the Sixers are not. The Sixers are not top five. Podcast P, podcast though. I'm a cold motherfucker. Championship level podcast. That's all, man. They don't even know his shit, dog.

I'm just saying, P, look, I'm appreciating him getting the message because he knows that cold shit resonates. We don't play that shit, man. He got to put it on himself, put it on his shoulders, and go get it. And I think last night he sent a message to his team that the last four games it was like, I think, 17, 19, 17. And then he bust out for 27, and he's like, all right, I'm focused now.

Little bit too late, but it's a step forward. It's a step forward. I seen it. I seen the energy. So I commend him for taking the effort, putting priority first. You need that little spark. Yeah, you need that spark. Does somebody just kind of say, like, man, what's up? You really think that's going to fly with the elders? Nigga, that don't fly with the elders.

Let me just throw this out there, though. When he was with the Clippers, he said he was comfortable being the number two option behind Kawhi. So you're saying he's the sixer. Now he needs to be the leader of that squad. Because there is no leader there. If MB's the leader, he's down. If Max is not old enough, ready yet, that means you're the only one there that can be the leader.

You can never say in that role, man, we got to figure it out and find it. No, you got to say, man, it's on me. Next time, it's going to be on me. Let me open up to the couch. Is it okay to podcast? So you look at Draymond, four chips, all the success that the Warriors have had.

Is it okay to podcast if you're on a championship-level squad or got that championship-level experience versus being on a trash team? Do I see you in deep thought in the MJ practice? I see you in deep thought. I mean, he's stopping the podcast to get focused, to get back to championship contention. When was they ever, what year were they ever in championship contention? They've lost the first round, second round every year.

You can, the whole team can fucking podcast. It don't matter. I mean, shit. I love it. Because just focusing on basketball, that's what they've been doing for the last eight, nine years, and we see where it got them. If you're going to stop podcasting,

are you going to stop doing interviews too? Because it's the same thing. Instead of interviewing with them, you're doing an interview with your own people. So it's the same concept. So the fact that this is even a topic for media, is podcasts getting in his way?

He should just respond. It's doing interviews with you motherfuckers getting in my way. You guys drain me more. I got to do an interview before the game, after the game, before practice, after practice, all week. Right, that's what I'm saying. You don't deserve energy going to the pod, setting up the pod. I got to sit here and get the guests on.

We got to do this from two to two. I got a 45-minute podcast. I could be using that. I just got to hit the Zoom button. Okay, 45 minutes, you could be looking at doing a film or being in a gym. Cool. In a 45-minute... But listen, if you're injury-prone...

That's perfect for him. It's not perfect for shit. But you're supposed to be going through physical therapy. Who? You don't play basketball 24 hours a day. That's just the real deal. You practice. Get your practice in.

If you're really serious, you icing. If you really down, you icing three to four times a day. You doing your therapy twice, three times a day. If you trying to get back. But I got to interview before practice or after practice, before games, after games. But you still got to do that. So why double it? Why double it?

You're doubling it. And that's another three hours. That ain't no 45 minutes. That's another three hours. This is an obligation. So what? You're doubling it. And that's another three hours. That ain't no 45 minutes. That's another three hours. And this is an obligation. So what? You're telling me. But this is an obligation, Gil.

You get paid to do this. It don't matter what I'm saying. You don't get paid. You can't get paid to do this. You can't tell me. This is an extra obligation you're pushing on yourself. But again, you're telling me I can't spend 45 minutes talking to my fans. No, you can't.

But I can spend two hours talking to my fans. No, you can't. But I can spend two hours talking to my fans through their lens. Yep. So when you get home, obviously it's a distraction. He would have never backed out if it wasn't a distraction. On a podcast,

that's once a week. Once a week. I got to do this interviews with them every single day. In 45 minutes. Once a week. I got to do this interviews with them every single day. Everybody. Everybody leave. In 45 minutes. Not a day. 45 minutes per week.

Per week. Ain't nobody. And we lose it. I don't want to see your podcast smiling, feeling good, and having a good old time. What if you have a serious face on the podcast? I'm just saying as a fan. As a fan. It's like you got to be serious 24 hours a day.

When you're under contract at 50 million, not, and we losing. So when you go home playing a video game, you can't do shit but play basketball all day. If we winning, yeah. Like when you go home, basketball. Hey, if we winning. Lay in the bed, shoot the ball in the air with the basketball, 24 hours.

If we winning. Come on, man. You know a winning culture allow the leisure. You get the leisure of doing things. But when you losing, why would you want the leisure of doing that? If he putting in the work, I should. No, but why would you want the leisure of doing that? If he putting in the work. No but why would you want the work? He losing. I understand it's happening now because he's losing so people's trying to

pick at it but. They have to make an adjustment though. But they have to make an adjustment. But they been losing though. The Clippers they were losing too. What is 45 minutes of your week? Yeah, but what's wrong with doing them? Five minutes about there's not this is not the same. It's not this type of not saying we're doing four days a week Okay, they're doing that 45 minutes a week from his laptop in a hotel room on the road or at home His studio is here. Yeah, these guys are here. So they're doing all I'm very familiar with that studio I'm out of pocket. We ain't got it. You ain't gotta go in there and show the original studio about a gotta go in there Do you marry man? You good? You ain't got a married man. You good. You ain't gotta do that. That's a married man. So you ain't gotta do that. You ain't gotta go show us.

You ain't gotta go get attention for this. Listen, you gotta go prove that you the guy you say you are. Never lost. Right, that 200 million. You gotta go prove to be playoff P. I think that's interesting. Not podcast P. The podcast P better than playoff P.

Think about what y'all are saying. Yes, yes. You're saying this, we're losing as a team, and you guys are sitting here saying, ah, it's you, 45 minutes of podcasting a week. No, it's not it. It's not it. It's not it, Gil.

You know that's not it. We're saying when we're losing, and you out here entertaining the folks while we're like, yo, our leader's not even locked in. Very entertaining podcast. Not even locked in. Look at him. He's not locked in.

Our leader's eating hamburgers. Look, and then that other young fella, he TikTok-ing. Jeremy came, very good TikTok-ing. And then you're not setting an example. He think it's cool. It's cool. That's this generation. So let me just, for context, for what it's worth,

PG is actually playing better immediately following the release of Podcast P episodes. Steph, no. So PG actually playing better immediately following the release of Podcast P episodes. Steph, no. Senior NBA writer for Sporting News. Took a deep dive and found some interesting stats. Let's take a look at them, please, if we can. So he's averaging more points, assists,

higher field goal percentage, higher three-point percentage and a higher average game score in games directly following a podcast release. Well, that's not actually... Oh, so those numbers don't count? No, those numbers don't count. Damn. Those stats...

Those don't count. Well, how many games he played since he stopped... Those stats don't count. Those stats don't count. Those stats don't count. They tape the podcast. It favors Paul George. It favors Paul George. And I'm saying those stats are irrelevant because that's on the release of

something. That's not when he shot it. It's not like we're saying this is the day he shot it. But that's when it goes to Market Guild and he gets to fill that energy. But it has nothing to do with his performance because it was already prerecorded. But it wasn't released yet. So tell me, what day did he film it? Let me see his production.

But you tell me why his performances are his performances then. But what I'm saying is, so basically, then it fits your narrative. If you could tell me that it ain't the production, then tell me what it is. Are you seeing what it's saying? It's saying he plays better podcasting. It does. So let's, then it goes against what you're saying. What I'm saying, if he's not podcasting and he's not playing good, why you not playing

good? You know what, he probably miss home. Probably miss home. Being in LA. Probably miss home. Hell yeah. So I'm going to hear an excuse. So why you, why you hear an excuse?

I ask a good question and all I get is an excuse. Because we don't know. We don't know. I know you don't know. I don't know. Oh, yeah. Why do I want you to say I asked a good question now? I get this because we don't know That's what we know. We know we know we know y'all don't want to say no no no But we all know so we're gonna do it. We're gonna do it that favors him all right Yeah, fuck. Hey, you should keep podcast. You should do more Podcast you're drunk three podcasts a week. So your numbers stay high. I mean, that's what his numbers say. Then he would be on that Gills Arena or closer to that Gills Arena schedule.

I'm just saying these are what's in there because if they drop every Monday, that has nothing to do with when he recorded it. We don't know when he recorded it. We don't know what his numbers are on day of recording or the day after recording. We just know he drops every Monday. Hey, Paul, you're being a team distraction. Oh, my God. So let's shift over.

Mr. B, you've been... That's crazy. I thought my... You haven't heard it before? Yes. Okay, so what's so crazy about it? That's crazy. It's not.

When you've heard it before, I've heard it before. You've heard it before for crazy reasons. We know why it comes. You heard it probably because you was dating somebody. I heard that shit for that. We know it's crazy, right? That's why I don't like that narrative. But can we help it's crazy, right? That's why I like that narrative. But can we help it?

Wait, what? I would stop doing this. Can we help it? They said I was because I was dating Iggy. He wasn't focused. Yeah. Were you focused, Swaggy? Yes.

OK. Sometimes. Sometimes. Sometimes. Your cheek was distracted. I know you're. It was a distracting cheek. So much ass.

So much ass. So, wait. So, hey, so my question is this. Distracting the. So much ass. Distracting the level of cheat. My question is this. My question for the media in Philadelphia. If 45 minutes of him turning on his computer from Philadelphia on the road and recording it and the rest of his team is doing all of that not him he just turning on

very good team over there at wave sports if that's a distraction then every interview that you try to give me espn what's the name any interview that i gotta turn my laptop on it's now a distraction for me also any interview outside of game day or practice is now an official official distraction for me i don't want no i don't want after a big game i don't score at 60 and then charles barkley want to talk to me oh wow you are a distraction you're distracting me you are distracting me oh so so, so now the media is a distraction. Now, all of a sudden now, because he can't broadcast now, the regular media that's been around the NBA for years is a distraction. No, interviews.

Fix the context. Fix the context. A podcast is interviewing. Who's trying to interview Paul George right now? What I'm saying is. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey. Don't do that.

Don't you do that. But who's really trying? Gills Arena has had an ass down for about a year now. Wait, who's not in it? Gil's Arena has had an ass down for about a year for PJ. And guess what? Why? No one ever said anything about Paul George's podcast.

Nobody ever said anything about it being bad. He stopped on his own. Because he heard. Oh, my God. Listen, he heard me talk. I didn't make him get off He heard you so if not the only person like a man on that podcast and a bullet so I ain't everybody you're Everybody's mr. B. You got strong opinions. Mr. B. You've got some strong opinions

You change your stance a little bit not too long ago, I know, but it was in Vegas when he did it. That was a year and a half ago. Yeah, two years ago. We talked about that. We've all grown. I think it's a distraction, honestly. I mean, even with

whoever you say is balling. I mean, Jalen Brunson and them, they over there got to broadcast. They got to figure out how to get past Boston. Why are you broadcasting? Right. We can't just say Paul George.

I mean, we could say a lot of guys that have broadcasts that can't get over the hump. Right, man. But now all of a sudden, now that the fact that the regular media that we've been having for years, now all of a sudden they're a distraction? No, you're right. But wait, what is an interview? If I have a podcast.

It's in the arena. It's in the arena. That's your job. That's what you get paid. Anything after that is your decision. So let me try this again. It's an obligation to the arena and your team to do the interviews before and after. Let me try it again.

They're not being real all the way. Let me try it again. Okay. In the NBA, you can't really say what you want to say. Let me try this again. We come to L.A. The team has interviews set up for you, right? Okay.

Am I right? Yeah, it's part of my contract. No, it's not. I have to do interviews. Yeah, we do. I get paid. Not interviews from the hotel. Interviews in the arena.

When they say ESPN wants to talk to you, I'm talking about when you come to the hotel. We're not talking about in-arena stuff. We're talking about the interviews that when you come to town and they want to do like a little what's-her-name. Right. What is the difference between that and his friend doing it for themselves? Well, the team. The team, for one.

And then also, I could deny it if I want. You could if you want. Okay, yeah, if I want. That's the decision you're making. Okay, yeah, yeah. So you can't blame the energy. Hold on. You can't blame nothing. Hold on. Okay, yeah Okay blame nothing about on

So we remember when Rudy won His defense the player of the year. Yeah, he was in his room. Mm-hmm And he did a damn forty something minute thing with TNT them. Mm-hmm, right? It's like 15 minutes What is the difference? It's the ain't that and him talking to his own podcast you get paid under the NBA so as the NBA as we write your big checks bro you have to do everything you say

and that was Rudy with his kids shit Rudy had this hang he wasn't with the team this is just an award that I won and you want some of my time so how is this not a distraction, but this one is? Because the NBA pays TNC. Yes.

So you need to do this. This is what it is. That's a partner. That's a partner. Yes. It's an obligation. As a star player, you want to do it because it's a part of the league. But it's not a distraction.

It's a part of the league. But you're deciding to go outside of your protocol to do something else. Because you want to put your own hands in there. That's like Stack Jack and Metta World Peace, a.k.a. Ron Artest, doing music during the season. You have a problem with that? That's a distraction. Ron Artest?

No, they had problems with it. They're like, you're not focused. Ron Artest also worked at Circus City early in his career. They was promoting their album during the season. But NBA players have a ton of free time, right? So what's the difference? Would you rather have PG do a pod? They look at it crazy.

No, no. They look at it crazy. So after practice, all you can do is go home, sit down, and watch TV. With the word. No, that's not true. Watching TV could be a distraction, too. With the word.

No, no, no, no. What do we do? After we go to practice practice hard as shit, we gotta sit down and be quiet. Just in a dark room, you gotta go flat. You know what we doing. Just meditate. You know what we doing.

Talk real. Not stop on the move. Dominoes. Bro, listen. You know we on the game. No, that's not it. Call them up. You know we on the game.

Come on, man. Yo, Nick. Yo, Nick. Marker, stop it. Yo, Nick. You gotta pick up at 12. Stop it. Yo, Nick. You got to pick up at 12. Stop it. Wait, hold on. You got to drop off at 4.

What are you talking about? No, we have a full schedule. Wait, we have a full schedule. Fuck the work, man. We have a full schedule. We got two workouts. We got a lot of shit going on. Gil, what do we know what to talk for real about?

If we practice from 11 to 1... Is that you talking about NBA team practice? NBA team practice. Yep. 11 to 1 is my obligation. You're telling me, and you want to tell these motherfucking people out here, who's listening to us,

from 1.01 p.m. 1.01 p.m. 1.01 p.m. to 10 motherfucking 30 a.m. damn near 22 hours. You ain't playing basketball. Free time. You're telling me that per week,

45 minutes is a distraction because you guys see it. Public perception. Public perception is everything. Whatever I'm doing. 45 minutes is a distraction because you guys see it. Public perception. But whatever I'm doing, whatever I'm doing during that time is okay as long as you don't see it. That's what I'm talking about. So all the shit y'all is doing is okay.

It's okay as long as we don't see it, right? As long as you don't see it. Public perception of the shit they did, if they happen to see y'all shit y'all was doing, you don't think they gonna judge y'all on the shit y'all doing? What you get judged on is shit they did. If they happen to see y'all shit y'all was doing, you don't think they gonna judge y'all on the shit y'all doing? What you get judged on is what they see. You out there performing on a podcast, but you're not

performing on the court. We have performed, but just listen. But look, but you going three for 17, right? Go home. Listen, go home. Take a nap, bro. Yo, Nick, if you're winning, listen, Nick, Nick, if you're winning, listen, Nick. Nick, if you're winning, they don't care.

It's still a distraction. What does it mean? What? It's still a distraction. Because you're winning. You're winning. You're winning. Winning clears everything.

I keep telling y'all, everything. Winning clears everything. Superstition. If you're winning, that don't give a fuck about a lot of the things that they do. They don't give a fuck. If you done hit 50 in these shoes, you're not wearing them again.

You're not wearing them again, you going to try to get 50 again. If you get anywhere close to 50, are you putting them back on? Every time. Superstition. Yes. Yo, winning gives you more power, bro.

I'm telling you. Come on, man. Yes, it does. Let me, let me. It's bad habits. It's just bad habits. You know it's a prioritize. You might go shoot again for another hour

and get some shots up. That's it. Look, you know the whole workout system is 12 hours of this. We do it. We work out all day. No, I'm not saying that. That's what we get paid for. We get paid to give it all we got.

Burn out on this shit. Okay, cool. Burn out on this shit. So that means you ain't sleeping. Burn out. Man, if I love the game, I can't sleep. I can't sleep. If I love it.

If I'm hyped for the game like I'm trying to be hyped for the game. You're not going 20 for two hours to get straight basketball. Come on, man. You ain't got to. Some people don't. Nobody does. But the one guy who did. Who? Who?

He did three times a day. He did six hours. He was a maniac. He was a maniac. 22 hours? He was a maniac. 22 hours? Your body can't do that.

He didn't have to because he already did the practice before. If he gets to practice with the team, that means he practiced the hour before. I practiced twice before. That's still not 22 hours. Yes, it is. I got my work done. Cool. You got your work done.

You missed our practice. And the result, we're winning. So it don't matter what time you practice, as long as you practice. You know our performance speak to our workout regimen and our habits. So if we go in the game and we perform to a level where you can't even question whether I'm prepared or not or what's a priority or not.

So when you say, look, what's going on with him out there? You driving and kicking. No, no, no, I'm not saying that. I'm saying, look, I'm saying you're driving and kicking. You're driving and kicking the guys who like, why are you driving and kicking. No, no, no, I'm not saying that. I'm saying, look, I'm saying you're driving and kicking. You're driving and kicking the guys who, like, why are you driving and kicking them? You Paul George. Like, go.

Can I ask you a question? No, I'm just saying, like, we look at him and you say, man, you're supposed to be doing your thing, and you're looking at us like, why y'all not shooting? Gil, what's your question? My question is this. Chad, you said he practiced two times before their team practiced, right?

You said because he practiced by himself, he didn't practice with you guys. How long was your practice? Two hours. Two hours in the beginning, then it goes to like 1 and 1 1. So about an hour and 30, three hours, 30 minutes? Yeah. So what is he doing in this three hours and 30 minutes?

Because he's not practicing with the team. So that means he has a free three hours and 30 minutes. What is he doing? Family. Next. He's married. Paul George is married. Next.

Wait, wait. So he's coming to... I'm going to spend a majority of my time with my family. All the time I got. Wait, so he's coming... I'm going to use it to do this shit, especially when I'm losing shit. What was that, show me what you're talking about? Yeah, so he's coming to gym early

and then when we decide to have team practice, he's deciding to go home? The NWA. They're in the practice. But that's why I'm saying it's an illusion. Making an excuse for him.

And this is why I know Hold him accountable, Gil. The media. No, then you got to hold it all accountable if I'm winning championship in this I'm podcasting but nobody's doing that it should be a distraction period

who's done it if I'm scoring four in a game podcasting it should be a distraction this is what I don't like nobody on the Boston Celtics last year was podcasting nobody on the Boston Celtics was podcasting. Come on, man.

He can't compare. Has anybody said anything about Jalen Brunson? No. No. Yes. Because no. They will this year when they don't get past Boston. Why?

No, no, no, no. Absolutely. Jalen Brunson. Because Jalen Brunson is doing what Jalen Brunson do. So that's the problem with this. That's the problem. Draymond Green is a champion. I don't like the idea.

So you got to be who you are in order to do it. No, I don't like the idea that it's a weak thing to do to see something that we know is irrelevant to his performance, but we want to use it. So, example. Give us the reason for his performance. What's the reason he not perform? His example is during the playoff, James Harden goes to Vegas, right? He does. He's filmed in Vegas.

In Vegas. Right? Motherfuckers is ready to write like mother... During the playoff. In the playoffs. During the playoffs. And what did he do, Gil? He came out...

In Vegas during the playoffs. Think about what we're seeing. They were talking about him. They still were talking about him before. No, not podcasting. He didn't podcast. He went to Vegas, had him a good time. Pause and ask.

That's what he was doing. Came home. Dropped what? 41? 45, I believe. 45, won the game. Not one motherfucker said the Vegas trip was a distraction. You know why? They were distraction. You know why?

You know why? Let him cook. Let him cook. Let him cook. Let him cook. Let him cook. Not after the game. Because what?

He won. So that means a whole fucking trip that was a distraction. His performance, you pretend to look the other way, is either going to be a distraction, his performance, you pretend to look the other way, is either going to be a distraction, period. It can't be a distraction. Only when you're doing that. Hey, Gil, did they win a series? Did they win that series? That's the same thing that just happened

to Jimmy Butler. Did they win that series? They did not win that series. A series in which, in one game, James Harden went to Vegas. And they won that game in the series. What was the headline? But what is the public perception

when you give ammunition for a headline? What is the headline going to be if he don't go to Vegas? No, no, no. What's the headline going to be if he don't go to Vegas? It's still going to be... He dropped 45 without going to Vegas. What's the headline gonna be if he don't go to Vegas and had 40. They pretended that it didn't happen because he performed well. They thought that he might need the strip club. But that's my problem.

So then if you don't go every time now and win, you should go to the second round. And this would be a habit for the team to know James needs to fly to Vegas for the game. The problem is it should be a distraction either way. When Jordan was in Vegas, and then he came and hit the double nickel, whatever, against New York, and he was ready to kill him, but he balled out.

You should kill him no matter what. You got to keep the energy on both sides of the what's-her-name. You can't look the other way. Because you win. Because you win. If it's a bad habit, it's a bad habit. I can do it. I can do it. You can't do it.

Because you can't win. Some people can do it. You can't do it. You can't win doing it. That's just what it is. Think about what you're saying. Think about what you're saying because that's an American thing that we're doing. The people who are famous can get away with something because you're saying. When doing it. Think about what you're saying because that's an American thing that we're doing. Michael Jordan. The people who are famous can get away with something because they're valuable versus somebody else.

Right? What are we talking about here? That's what I'm saying. It's a double standard idea. What are we talking about here? If me and a regular person get pulled over speeding, I'm Gilbert Arena, so that's me getting a ticket. I see how the goalposts are all the way over here. But you get a ticket because you're not, right?

Podcast. Just speeding is still the speeding. Well, I've got a ticket to some hoax in Gilbert Arena, so. No matter what, podcasting, scoring 70, should be a bad habit of scoring zero. It's a bad habit or it's not. So Michael Jordan had bad habits when he played? Yes. I can tell.

Wow. He used to get a pocket friend every time he was trying to go get it. He got it. Six in a row. I can't tell. Six in a row. You can see it now.

Look at his eyes. Six in a row. I mean, the bad habits made me... Six in a row. All those bad habits made me the greatest player. Hey, hey, Swaggy. Six in a row. But think about what he's saying.

Swaggy, six in a row. But it's a he's saying. Swaggy, six in a row. But it's a bad habit. So if we all decide to do the same thing, trying to follow Michael Jordan, you would not be podcasting. You would not be podcasting. You would be worse. Because you're not successful doing it.

You wouldn't be podcasting. Because Michael Jordan is Doing this are so you're gonna start podcasting when you become successful Yes, they had it they had a set He just said coming in coming in the beginning. Yeah, you know fix your neighbor in the beginning championship thing last year No, they were not no So we and this is why? What do they call that shit? What was that white man's word for Bronny James and Bron?

Yeah. What? You just lost weight on that. Nepotism. Nepotism. You just lost weight on that. That's why... You're going to lose weight.

You can't say this. You're going to lose weight. That is why. Guys are doing their job. What else? Yes. But that's why the media is complaining. That's a problem.

Because he's giving himself. All right, one at a time, fellas. One at a time. We're cross-talking. All right, that's why nepot's complaining. That's a problem. Because he's giving himself. All right, one at a time, fellas. One at a time. We're cross-talking. All right, that's why nepotism is very important for you. Yeah, and they be... Because obviously, when you're winning, you get a lot of advantages.

Just like... People look the other way. Yep, Jimmy Butler. Yep, they did. And when you start losing... When you're winning, when I'm winning, I can do whatever the fuck I want to do.

Yeah, that's good. So as long... Watch this big word. And the media green light the narrative they want. You see that? They green light or they gas light?

Gas light. Okay, see, I got your back. Green light, gas light. Cemetery Larry. Cemetery Larry, you had a question, but you forgot it. We asked the chat a question.

We said, was ending podcast Pete the right call for Paul George? 74% said yes. Let's keep this thing moving because we got some good basketball to talk about now.

What happened? Swaggy has left the deal? No, we're the baby mamas of NBA, or of rich people. You are the baby mamas of rich people? How we think is how the baby mamas of NBA players and pro athletes think. I was never an NBA player or a pro athlete. When you're playing and you're rich and you're cheating on me,

I look the other way. Soon as you retire and you ain't got no money, God damn it, it's a problem. Them bitches matter now. See, them bitches didn't matter before because I'm getting Louie bags, and I'm getting all the bags, and I'm going to all the parties

in the red carpet, and you done had three kids on me, and none of that matters anymore. But when your ass is not playing anymore, and we got to go on the budget... Yeah, I don't want no more of that. What budget you talking about? I don't want no more of this relationship.

Are you still talking about podcasts? I don't want no more of this relationship. budget you talking about? I don't want no more of this relationship. Are you still talking about podcasts? I don't want no more of this relationship. He never won. He never won. That's a $50 million budget he's talking about. What is he talking? You're not going back to the hood. You're not going back to peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Ain't nothing to bad happen if I don't get paid. No matter how much money you have, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich will always hit the spot. Why is the divorce rate so why is the divorce rate so high when a player retires? It's because the shit he got away with when he played, they not looking the other way once he's done.

He's not famous like that no more. Motherfucker, you been cheating on me all this time and now I want out. So we the baby mamas now. Let's shift to current NBA basketball. That was a very spirited debate, very spirited discussion. Let's talk about a winning team now. So Pistons hosted the Celtics last night,

and they were in the midst of a seven-game win streak. Boston had a six-game win streak of its own as well. Let's take a look at some of the highlights. So Detroit extended its win streak with a win over defending champs who were without Jaylen Brown. You may recall before the season, Brown said the Celtics would use games against teams like the Pistons to play through their role players to help them build confidence while

still winning the game. Well, naturally the Pistons felt some type of way about that and let it be known on the court. All-Star Cade Cunningham had 21 points and 11 assists, while Malik Beasley surprisingly led the team in scoring with 26 off the bench in this one. On the Celtics side, Jason Tatum had 27 points on 10 for 19 shooting, but it wasn't enough as the Pistons were in control of the game and won by a 20 piece. It was the 8 straight win for the Pistons, tying them with the Cavs for the longest active win streak in the league. 8 straight is the longest win streak for the Pistons franchise

in a single season since 2008. That's a long time ago. Detroit also reached 33 wins on the season, more than their win totals in the previous two seasons combined. I believe they won 31 games in the previous two seasons total. They're at 33 right now. Shout out JB Bickerstaff, shout out Kay Cunningham. Shout out Gil for really motivating the city of Detroit with your commentary. Facts. Shout out Wingstop as well for blessing Pistons fans. A credit to the Pistons for turning things around quickly after some historic losing last season, you may recall.

It was down, it was tough. But when we look at this Pistons squad this season, what's the biggest reason for the Pistons drastic turnaround? They point guard. Keep on playing with a full season. And I just like Detroit toughness, though. Like they bringing back that like... Detroit basketball.

Yeah, that Detroit basketball. Even though, what's his name, Isaiah, whatever his name? B-Fu. Yeah, just out there. Swaggy, swaggy. Be careful what you say. Really, just out there just to fight. But it's cool, though, because that's what the team likes. Sure, very good fighter.

Very muscular. Might be, you know. You never know. But I just like their grittiness to them. Like, you miss certain teams in the NBA having that, like, niche and known for being that. And for real, it's like legit the cave turning into a star. You know, we all been waiting for this.

We've already been playing for the years we've been playing. Finally healthy, getting out there. I feel like Detroit's going to be all right. They're surprising people. So you're talking about J.B. Bickerstaff coaching the Cavs, got fired from the Cavs, I think got them to their first playoffs without a LeBron-led team since, like, 93. Kenny Atkinson comes over, takes over our team, now number one in the league.

Pistons, nasty last year. Now in the playoff hunt, J.B. Bickerstaff coming in, bringing that mentality to the squad. Kay Cunningham obviously playing at an all-NBA level. But just how much credit does J.B. Bickerstaff deserve for being able to come change the mentality, mindset? I mean, Pistons were already kind of heading in this direction, made some great moves, got a strong roster.

Yeah. Could he be coach of the year? I mean, if JJ Redick wasn't in the league, I think he would definitely have a very compelling case. Detroit ain't been shit in a while. Think about it. When was the last time they made the playoffs? It's been a minute for the Pistons.

Probably eight years ago. Yeah, with what, Rodney Stuckey in them? When they traded Chauncey Billups for Rodney Stuckey? Yo, they're in the sixth spot right now, right? So if the season ends, they'll play the Knicks. So having made the playoff since the 2018-19 season, they were swept by the Bucs. Last time they made it before that was 2015-16.

They were swept by the Cavs with LeBron, Raymond, James, and that crew as they went on to win the hardest NBA championship in the history of basketball besides the Bucs. Are they good enough to beat the Knicks first round? They tough enough for sure. They might be able to get the Knicks out of here in six. The East is wild. The East is wild.

Like, listen, Detroit is playing unbelievable right now. The East is wild. Yeah, yeah. The East is wild. The East is wild. Like, listen, Detroit is playing unbelievable right now. The East is wild. Yeah, yeah. The East is wild. You give them confidence. Cleveland don't want to see Detroit. Nah, I don't think nobody want to see Cleveland like that. Nah, Cleveland don't want to see Cleveland.

They're playing too good, man. But I don't think the Knicks want to see Detroit. The young athletic guys, man, they're just anomalies. You don't know. They might play good one game out their mind, give them three of those, give them three of those in a seven game. And Detroit playing with confidence.

Going into the playoffs. That's what means they're unpredictable. They're predictable. Think about it. Young teams got nothing to lose. We just here to disrupt them. Fuck their whole shit up. Let's take them to seven.

But with a young team, you get that first two wins, you fuck their mind up a little bit. Yeah, just take them to seven. Let's take them to seven. But with a young team, you get that first two wins, you fuck their mind up a little bit. Yeah, just take them to seven. Let's push them to the limit. So, Gil, you've had some inflammatory things to say about the city of Detroit previously. I feel like you've shifted your stance a little bit. A very fine city.

Shout-out to Ha Ha Davis, everybody else out there. Eminem. I think I'm the only one that said there'd be in the playoffs this year. You did say that, Gil. Because we watched them last year, even though they were struggling. Think about the games that they were actually having. They was losing really good, close games. You know, Tibbs out there.

Not Tibbs, but Williams. Monty Williams, you know, complaining. Not cursing. The thing in New York, and it should have been his. It was just they found a way to lose every game. And what they've learned is how to win those games, right? The pain that they felt going through that season. So when you're looking at this season,

those 10 points that they're up with two minutes, they're not losing those games now. When it's a close game within two to three, they know how to win that game. So that's the difference really between last year and this year. They're winning the games that they were supposed to last year. Right? So it's just basically they're just cleaning up their spare.

Mr. B, former Piston, I believe Tim Hardaway Sr. is one of your coaches. You don't really talk about Pistons like that. I bet. He was a member of the Piston. It was the water. It was beyond your control. It was the water. You tasted that water and fucked somebody up.

Absolutely. They were like, get your... When we played him, Nick, you want to go out and go out? I'm like, hell no. Wait, y'all drinking on... Like going out in Detroit? I did try to take Dick out. Take me out.

I said, man... I said, come on, man, let's go to 8 Mile, man. Let's go to... 8 Mile, right. Let's go to 8th and St. Louis. I'm like, hell no. Wait, y'all drinking on Cheetos? Like going out in Detroit? I did try to take the cat. Take me out. I said, man, be there. I said, come on, man. Let's go to 8 Mile, man. Let's go to, uh. 8 Mile, right?

Well, let's go to 8 to stay. Stop answering my phone. You know you don't want to be rude. Man, I fell asleep last night, dog. Man, nigga, let that fall asleep. You're like, my bad, man. I fell asleep. You just told me you woke up.

Right, because the thing is, we know when y'all land. Like, you know when they land. Like, yo, I know you here. Man, I had to work over, man. My bad, man. Make up anything. That's what y'all niggas was doing to me, huh? Yeah. I always pick up first.

That's what y'all niggas be doing. I pick up first ring. Oh, yeah. You got me partying in the stories. And this is supposed to be forget the job. The story was lit. The story was lit, dog. He was trying to hype it up.

I know, yeah. So let's talk a little bit about Cade Cunningham. You know, had that extension he signed, I think, prior to this season. 2021 first overall pick, leading the charge for Detroit. First-time All-Star, averaging 26 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds this season on 46-36-85 shooting splits.

If Cade can complete the season averaging 25-9-6, he would become just the seventh player ever to do so, joining Russell Westbrook, Oscar Robertson, Joker, LeBron, Harden, and Luka. As a result, Cade is being listed as the favorite for most improved player in many places right now. But I got to ask you guys, should a number one pick be eligible for most improved player? No.

Yes. No. Yeah. No, you're a number one pick. We expect that. No. He hasn't set an expectation. No.

You ain't set an expectation yet. Yeah, so how can I not be it? Yeah. You don't know what I... But you're the number one pick. That's it, though. That's it. From what I did in college.

Yeah, you don't have anything to go off of. You have nothing to go off of. It's college. Did he get don't have anything to go off. You have nothing to go off of Um, it's college. Did he get rookie of the year? Yes So he got rookie of the year and now most improved player that they could get it But no rookie rookie of the years between rookies I get it, but I'm the number one pick like I don't want most improved I'm so I'm supposed to be that guy. That's why I'm with number one It's the next step. There's more to prove in the NBA. The rookie award, whatever he does, as he is here, we the most improved is I outplayed the biggest.

Yeah. Next between everybody. I was Scotty. But Scotty Barnes beat them out. Yeah. So you say the next tier rookies after your rookie, the next tier, the next tier is, who's the second-year players that did anything the second year? Me. I'm the most improved. No, the most improved is everybody. Everybody in the whole league. Everybody can improve in basketball and in life. So like this.

Let's say you average 20 your rookie year. Okay. Right? Uh-huh. Okay. Obviously, you're going to be a real bar. Think about it. Okay.

Now let's say you're always improved. Let's say you're a sophomore improve. Let's say you're sophomore year. You're averaging 30 Most likely you're gonna win most improved Because there's not gonna be anyone who fluctuated 10 points plus rebounds and assists Yeah, so now you you MVP most improve you're in that category You are the most improved like you're the you're the you're the the number one player in the NBA that had a big-ass jump big jump so he's so he's the only so is he the only number one player pick that would get this award so glad you asked that so the last ten most improved player

winners there's been a few there's been three number two picks John Moran the most recent one Brandon Ingram I believe also as well Victor Oladipo is the number two picks to do it. But you can win. So why didn't Bron get it? You can win that any year. That's a great question, Brandon. You can win it, what I'm saying is you can win it any year of your career. Because your production, if you have somebody else in the league, maybe Jason Terry, somebody's averaging more or doing more, Bron won't get it because it's somebody else doing more.

But 25 and 5, and then the next year, what do you have? It's like 30. Let's say 30. But let's say Monte Ellis went from 14 to 24. Monte Ellis went from 14 to 24. So it's nobody this year that's done that. This year.

It's like him. No, but what I'm saying is, it's hard for, it's hard for, it's hard for like a, go bro, go go go. Okay, okay.

He's won though. He's already won it. No, no, no, what I'm saying is, he ain okay, okay. He's won, though. He's already won it. No, no, no, what I'm saying is... Oh, he ain't won it? He's really the frontrunner. No, he should be. No, okay, see... I thought he won it.

Okay, now, that's what I mean. Sixth man in the year, one of them. Okay, now, that's what I mean as far as, like, a most improved. Like, somebody we didn't think of coming. You think of him as a top man. Yeah, but like a top five pick. I'm not thinking of you to get a most I'm thinking you supposed to know nobody's but John got It but it's still you know, I'm surprised. I'm just that's just he improves just the improvement and improvement is he can't go get MVP

So this is the middle ground of when you ready to get MVP. We know you was at this level He was at the most improved you you jump from here to here. So that's it. So he can't get MVP. He can jump from here to MVP. Ja can jump from here to MVP. But he can't jump from most improved to... Let's say you average... Giannis got most improved.

Let's say you average 10. Let's say you average 10 and then you average 30-something-something. And you are the most improved, right? Yeah. But you're the MVP. You're only going to get the MVP. Yeah, you're not going to get both.

They're going to give them most improved to whoever was second. They're going to give you the bigger award. Like Derrick Rose. Derrick Rose was a big jump to get the MVP. That was a big jump. Yeah. Big jump. He could have got most improved if he didn't get MVP.

Somebody else was playing better than him. He'd have got most improved. Is Cade doing what Mellows should be doing? Is Mellows should be doing what Cade's doing right now? No more ball? Yeah. Not with that team. You don't think so? Why not? That team ain't the same. Like, who would you take right now out of them two?

Cade. For winning. Because what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying. If you looked at the team, no matter how the record was, Charlotte looked lopsy. I mean, they look sloppy. They didn't look like that for a while. Wow, but they look.

Detroit didn't look sloppy last year. They just didn't know how to win. It wasn't sloppy basketball. Before last year. It was just one of those, you're looking at the game like, turn over at the wrong thing. You're sitting here. The ball bounce off your foot.

Back door. Motherfucker bounce. Then you got players looking like you out there. Trying to make it open. They're not open. Caught the ball for no reason. They've been doormats for years. Who? Detroit.

I'm just talking about last year. That's what I said. They look like they're going to make the playoffs. When do you make that jump? At least they're making a jump. I asked a couple weeks ago. I'm curious to hear your opinions now. Cade or Ant-Man?

Who would you want right now? At this very moment. Still taking Ant-Man? I love that. Cade or Ant-Man, who would you want right now? At this very moment. I'm taking Ant-Man. Oh, Ant-Man. You're still taking Ant-Man? Yeah, Ant-Man. Okay. I love that. Think about it. Kade or Ant-Man?

I would play on Charlotte if you switched the two. Kade. Would Detroit still be in the position they are? I don't think so. Detroit? Yeah, Detroit, yeah. If Detroit had Melo. I don't think so.

No, you think that would be worse? Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like he's like... Too wild. I don't think so. No, you think that'd be worse? Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like, he's, like... Too wild card. Yeah, he got that. Even though LaMelo's won, everywhere he's winning foul right now for that team

is not going to win. That's true. Yeah, it is. So we asked the chat, first and foremost, should a number one overall pick be considered for most improved player? 55% said yes, 45% said no. Shad, you said you would roll with K right now.

I think, shout out to my guy Nate Jones who asked this question several weeks ago, but it's a compelling argument. A couple weeks ago, I might have had a different opinion, but what K is doing in Detroit. No, when you know talent, you know talent. That's not a good argument. We talk basketball, elements of basketball.

That's not a good argument. He got too many advantages on the court. He taking K off for one year. No, man. Pistons, I'm saying at this very moment. It's his a good argument. He got too many advantages on the court. He taking K off of one year. No, man. Pissing at this very moment. It's his body of work. Pissing six in the east right now, seven in the west.

K like Eric Gordon. K was the number one pick. Don't ever say he's like Eric Gordon. He played 25 games, keep his average, get money. Now this is his first time playing a full season. What? Last year, bro How many games we play last year?

Let me pull it up for you. I know the year before has been like stop disrespecting caveman It's man. I'm not feel holy, but this is the first time really see real deal Holyfield I think the man I think that man says something that I think he went he went against what I say his name was Okay, the average what's that coach name was... Cade Avergin? What's that coach's name? Who's that? The coach from Detroit. Bigger staff?

Maybe bigger staff. You remember when bigger staff said that he disagreed with me that... That Cade would need to be in a bigger market to get more love and shine. Now, if Cade was in a bigger market, everybody would be talking Cade. But because he's in a small market, we don't know he's balling like this. Well, Gil's Arena, presented by Underdog Woo Woo, is Talking Cade Cunningham right now, the only show that matters.

I hear you. But that's what I'm saying. You put Cade... Because, you know, remember, Cade's personality is quite... Yeah, what did Cade average last year? So, Cade right now averaging 26, 9.5. You know I'm going to give him the bump up. So, 26, 10 assists, 6 rebounds.

Last year, what did he have? Let me pull it up. 22, 23, and 7. And the year before that? 21 and... And how many games did he play? How many games did he play? How many games did he play?

When he first started. Oh, yeah, he got hurt. He got hurt second year. He played 12. Second year. So he played six... Shit, he hasn't played 65 games yet. Thank you.

And he's... What is he averaging? 64, 12, 60. But played 54 games this season Thank you. And what is he averaging? 64, 12, 16. But played 54 games this season. All right, so he's met the threshold of being a superstar, and his numbers are what again? So this season he's averaging 26, 10, 6 rebounds. And the year before that?

23, 8 assists, 4 rebounds. Lord have mercy. And the year before that? 64 games. Only played 12 games that year. Oh, that year. So in his rookie year, he averaged 17, 6, and 6. How many games? How many games was that? 64 games. Only played 12 games that year. Oh, that is that. So in his rookie year, he averaged 17, 6-6. How many games?

How many games is that? 64 games. 64 games, rookie year, 17 a game, number one pick. Stop playing. Now I'm at what? 26? 26. What?

I'm doing exactly what I'm projected to do. He wouldn't have qualified for no awards ever so far. No, he hasn't. And because he hasn't been healthy, so think about it. Think about what you're saying. This is his first time healthy, and look at his numbers. So we asked the chat who you're taking right now. That's why I'm taking Ant-Man.

Ant-Man. Ant-Man just said, man, I don't want the league. 66% of the chat is taking Ant-Man right now. But let's keep this in mind. We've got to talk a little Celtics. We've got to take a team and change the game. Talk a little Celtics right now. I think this will be

a spirited conversation, so just brace yourselves in the meantime, in between time. Everybody go ahead and download that. Underdog app. Use promo code GILD.

Get up to $1,000 in bonus cash plus a special pick-em. Now we're going to talk about one of our favorite topics that we've talked about this season, Jason Tatum, who has been on each of the last three

All-NBA first teams. Tatum has been the subject of criticism and noted that his resume is really strong when you remove his name from it. Here's what he said in a recent interview with the Washington Post, saying, quote, if you took the name and the face away

from all my accomplishments and you're just like, this is what a player accomplished at 26, people would talk about me a lot differently. So let's talk about his resume. Very impressive. Six-time All-Star NBA champion. Four-time All-NBA. Three of those being first-team selections.

2023 All-Star Game MVP. 2022 Eastern Conference Finals MVP. Also experienced great team success with five conference finals, two NBA finals appearances in his first seven seasons. We don't remember that, but yeah. You know, debatable. It was debatable. Well, LeBron did not follow back. Took don't remember that, but yeah. That's what LeBron asked. You know, debatable. It was debatable. He's the conference finals. Well, LeBron did not follow back.

Took him to game seven, right? LeBron did not follow back on Twitter as requested. Understandable. No Kyrie, no Hayward, whatever his name is. Tatum also currently, I believe, leading his team. Points, rebounds, assists, steals, and three-pointers made, if I'm not mistaken. Face of the league, baby.

So, is Tatum right about how his resume gets overlooked by critics? For sure. And why do you feel that way? I mean, very impressive by 26. I don't think Jordan didn't win until what, 28? I think this is the first Superstar we actually heard actually have this conversation.

We had to have this conversation. But the fact that you called him a superstar, I think is a very good start. Yeah, that's a good thing. Very good start. He's on the verge of being a megastar. Swaggy, you won the shooting competition wearing a pair of Tatums. I'll just point that out.

I felt the power. And you see what happened. I won. You see the outcome? But then we shifted to actual encore. Jalen Brown went out there. I was in the Olympics. Jalen Brown went out there and said, it's my team.

I got mistreated. He said, I'm going to be Jalen Brown. Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr. He told us that before. Olympics. He said, I'm going to be Jalen Brown. Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr. He told us that before. Olympic. He said he's going to be Tatum. He wearing the Tatums, okay.

I'm Steve Kerr. That's what happened. I'm sorry, brother. I'm Jordan, man. Hey, hey. That's what happened. He said, no. He said, no.

You got the wrong shoes on. I'm the real Jordan. You're treating me like Steve Kerr, man. But in all sincerity. Hey, listen. I am Jordan. You wear Jordan. Mmm.

Mmm. That's a fun... That's a fun... That's a fun... Hey, that's like... That is fun. When we look at Tatum, his resume, Hall of Fame level resume

right now, he stopped playing at this very moment. Be a first ballot Hall of Famer. You worried about the wrong shit? I'm not.

I'm just telling you. The alcoholism. You worried about getting them other greats out of the way so I could be the main Girl on that trajectory championship you worried about the wrong shit man championship ahead of shit We will call it Antoine Walker couldn't do get them boys and get them boys up there out of there

It's us up here now. Yeah, we looking at you different We ain't questioning that and once you get them great get them grace out the way well You know is the face of the league iss out the way. Tatum is the face of the league. Is he? Facts. Face of the league. You say Jason Tatum is the face of the league right at this moment? Yes.

Yes. 1,000%. What makes you the face of the league? When you talk about him negative. Yes. Compared to his actual resume. If we take every player. That's what makes you the face of the league?

Yes. Look how we talk about it. This is not the 80s and the 90s where we made our superstar look good. There's been this thing... Don't get rewarded for losing, bro. There's been this thing for the last 20 years... Y'all was giving LeBron all this credit

for going to 10 straight finals. It's like, this is when we start giving rewards for second place. When do we start giving rewards to people who just didn't even get to no place? We haven't. Of course. We reward the guys who've been winning.

Yeah. So again, for the last... He just won. For the last 20-something years, it's been a negative thing on the face of the NBA. Whoever got bashed the most didn't even think about it. Yeah. He is the face because we pretend his resume is not

his resume. So we want to tear him down. But guess what comes with being the face? You. People trying to tear you down. Guess what you got to do? Purse of fucking Veer. And you got to fight him fucking off. Man, what is going on? I don't understand. You want to take off

to the finish line? Nah. Listen, do you know who this dude is right here? You know who this dude is? Who's that? You don't understand. You want to take off to the finish line? No, no, no. Nah. He got on the boss. Do you know who this dude is right here? What you're saying is not true. Do you know who this dude is? Who's that? You don't know, huh? Uh-uh. Put it on.

Give you an example. This is Mortal Kombat. Okay. Right? When you get to the top boss. That kind of looks like your teeth. He laughs at you. You weak, pathetic fool.

Also, my type. You got to give me your best. you got to give me your best. You got to give me your best. When you reach me, you at the top, I'm going to criticize you. I'm going to tell you this. And you got to say, man, they said I couldn't do this. They said I couldn't do that. I think Kobe said a lot of it.

You said Kobe never was bashed and never was hated and none of that. Man, they had a whole I hate Kobe commercial. Yep. He said he was never bad kobe did in 2004 whole commercial on all the things he worked out on that summer about how he was getting how he was getting criticized and this they said i was this and the prima donna and more the kobe system the kobe system sir system. What do you mean? I said when you say someone's top five today.

I didn't say you're in. Move the goalpost. No, I didn't move the goalpost. All I'm saying is, Jay-Z, you got to beat the boss. If you're going to make a statement. You're going to get criticized. That's what comes with it. There's a penalty of leadership.

I'm what niggas want to be and shit. Just like what he's saying. Hey, Barr, if you will. Jay-Z. In the last 20 years, the face of the NBA is being bashed. You're saying Kobe was the face, right? Are we complaining about that? No, we're making a statement.

I let you make a statement. Kobe got bashed. Then LeBron became it. Because we know when. Because he got bashed. We've been asking why Tatum ain't getting his thing. Because he's the face of the league, and that's the one they fuck.

No. Because when LeBron leaves... It's because he's got there and he hasn't won. That's the only thing. The complaint is you've gotten there, and you haven't taken it over. That's what we do with the face. When LeBron leaves... James Harden could have been the face, right, if he takes it all the way over the top?

I think that's James Harden. They killed James Harden if he takes it all the way over the top James Harden Thank you James. Think about it. They was killing them right think about what I'm here when LeBron leaves Who is gonna who is the most hated? Yeah, who's next in line to be the most hated player? Jason Tatum because so when the face leaves, who is the target now? Jason Tatum. So, Gil, are you still saying that LeBron is the face then, technically? Because LeBron has not left.

That's what he just said. Still playing strong. That's what he just said. That's what he just said. That's what he just said. That's what he just said. That's what he just said. So when he leaves.

So when he leaves. He said when he leaves, that means that he's not the face of the league. Who? Jason Tatum. He's next up. That's why he was shooting at you. That's why someone that means that he's not the face of the league. Who? Jason Taylor. He's next up. That's why he was shooting at you. That means he's not. That's why someone like you can read his resume again.

He's not. So all this shit y'all complaining about, complaining about nothing, because he's not the face of the league. So all the complaints about, oh, resume this, resume that. Please read his resume. Man. This is embarrassing. Six-time All-Star NBA champ.

How old is he? 26, but he turns 27 on the third. All I care about is how many championships you got. I don't care about your stats. I don't care about your stats, bro. How many championships did Jordan have? I don't care about your stats. How many accomplishments did

Jordan have? We didn't care about his accomplishments. When he started winning championships and he started doing like this. Nah. When he did this. He had the shoes before he won a championship. When he was doing this though. He had a logo.

Listen. He's 88. When he was doing this. Everybody had the shoes before he won a championship. When he was doing this. He had a logo. No, that's when you was old enough to see what six was. Yeah, that's when you was old enough.

That's when you knew how to count. That's when you knew how to count to six. Stop it. Stop it. That's when you- Stop it. That's when you can count to six. The three-peat? The three-peat?

No. Stop it, man. Yo, but what does Jason Tatum think though? He plays for the Boston Celtics. We're thinking the same thing about history. Just give it to me. Just give it to me because I asked for it. Just give it to me because I asked for it, but

Just give it to me because I'm really Jordan You don't get it cuz you're pretty 89 you got a work son. He had that logo that logo was created in 80-fucking-eight created in 88. This in 88. He had his own logo in 1988. He was crowned by GQ magazine, the best motherfucker that ever walked this planet.

GQ says the standard for whoever we're talking about. GQ is the standard for winning. He lost. We're not talking about winning a playoff round. Right? We're not. We're changing the goalposts. What you doing? We're not talking about winning a playoff round yet. We're just talking about your game. We love it. You're a hero.

For real. Read his resume at 26. Jordan didn't win until 28. Read his resume at 26. Jordan didn't win until 28. Read his resume at 26. And this is the most hated nigga in the world. Hey, pretend that I'm deaf, right? And I can't hear. I gotta see this shit only.

Don't read me no fucking stats. That means that if I'm deaf, you got to show me. Show me the money. This is because of him. Show me the money! This is because of him. Show me the money! Motherfuckers is mad. Show me the money! So Gil, you asked me to read his resume.

Six-time All-Star, NBA champion, four-time All-NBA, three first-team All-NBA selections, 2023 All-Star Game MVP, 2022 Eastern Conference Finals MVP. The last three seasons finished sixth, third,rd, and 6th in MVP voting. So, top six player in the league. Yo, yo. You win too much.

Yo, but you don't think, like, the team that he plays for, though, the Boston Celtics, the history that they have of winning, like, that has a lot to do with a lot of his hate, too, though? Like, he does play for the Boston Celtics, right? Right, right. The expectations is high to be a Boston Celtics player. What are you talking about? He made that.

You want it to be given to you. You got to make the explanation. Listen, Paul Pierce had to fight for it. And they never, they didn't even give it to Paul. He won. He won that one. Paul won that one. They still don't give him that.

Y'all don't think the league, instead of Jason Tatum being the face, you don't think the league had just put the Lakers in Boston? Like, go back to that. Because is Jason Tatum the best player in the league? I understand the face. We need a face, of course. We need a Samaritan. Like, we need a... Huh? Oh, he better than Giannis?

He's better than Joker? I'll take him. You would take Tatum over Joker? No, over Giannis. Giannis the best player in the league right now? Yeah, for sure. Giannis is the best player in the league. But I get we need a face. He's better than Joker. He's better than SGA. Hey, I'm sorry Oh any day I can think or any day I could do more any day I bet a million dollars anybody won't play one-on-one against John. Is this a rat? How I gotta do more

Nothing think about what I'm saying. We know how we talk about him. Yeah, no for sure. Okay, how many rookies? When the NBA Finals? Oh, man. Just that. How many rookies? Rookies in the NBA. That's a top two, three pick. Because remember, top two, three pick goes to... Magic. Okay, Magic.

Magic. Did they bash Magic the whole time? No, Magic won. Okay. Go. Jim Duncan. Okay. That's two.

Think about what I'm saying. Brandon. What he did as an eight-year-old. Hey, Duncan Brown. We're did as an 8-year-old. And Duncan Brown. We're talking about an 8-year-old. He's reaching. Jason Tatum. The team wasn't already good, though?

No, because Kyrie was hurt and gave a hit. Jalen Brown was there. I know. Jalen Brown came second. And he was averaging more than him. No. Jalen Brown came second. No, but what I'm saying is.

Jalen was already there. Well, I'm saying that Jason Tatum came into a situation where they were already good. Jalen Brown's second year. But that's what I'm saying is, Jason Tatum didn't come into a situation where they were already good. They had a brown second year. But that's what I'm saying. Come on, man. As a rookie, he already, that's the problem. A rookie, first time to the playoffs goes to the finals. It's nasty in there.

Look at the expectation that got put on him. Yeah, because he plays for the Muffins. So now, everything he does, he goes to the Eastern Conference Finals. You're doing bad. Bad. This, that, that. Look what's on the front of his jersey, though, Gil. But think about, name somebody that has this type of winning pressure

from the ages of 18 to 26. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. And he had to get traded. Carmelo Anthony. And he went to a spot. Carmelo Anthony. Yes, they did. No, no, LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. And he had to get traded. Carmelo Anthony. And he went to a spot. Carmelo Anthony.

Yes, they did. No, no. LeBron. Dwayne Wade. What are you talking about? Everybody good. Have a great day. I did not see the Dwayne Wade.

What are you talking about? No great life. Yeah. I'm about to. Yeah. I'm about to. I'm about to. I'm about to.

No pressure for Dwayne. Yeah. I'm about to. Yeah. Yeah. I ain't see that. Life. He moved to Gold Post again.

Life. Moving again. But LeBron James was short. Because we went from talking about one guy all the way to over here, man. I know you keep... Come on, man. I asked a question. Oh, you're going to make me reach in this bag. At 19 years old, coming into the NBA, that's the top five.

Remember where you... He not 19 no more. We're not... We're talking about the expectation. When you get drafted a top five pick, you are not in the situation to win. Because you're going to a bad team. Right? Winby is the number one pick.

Is there any expectation on him winning? No! Right? Who is it? The win right now. No, right What is he talking about So let me finish the statement so you can interrupt. So what? There's been pressure. Okay, so what?

So what? Oh my god, he has pressure. Oh shit. Oh shit, let's go. Go tell your mom. Go tell your mom you got a little pressure. You accomplished everything. You ain't accomplished shit until last year. You just got the tip. Let us bask in the glory of you getting the tip.

Easter conference finals appearances. You finally won. With the same team. We're stepping back a bit. Seven straight playoffs appearances. We're stepping back a bit. With the same team. We're stepping back our criticism a bit.

We're saying, let's step back a little bit. Okay, he's won last year. But look, but who led? He let us see him in points, rebounds, and assists. He won, but who led? See what I mean? That's what I'm saying. So now you got more to assists. See what I mean? That's what I'm saying. So now you got more to prove.

What do you mean? That's another thing. Now you got more to prove. Now you got more to prove. That's another thing. There's more expectation now. We set the bar to where we want to set your expectation, not you.

You don't get to tell us where we get to expect you to do shit. Shit, if you good, nigga, we expect you to be great. You know what? How about this? How about this? You want us to praise you. What the fuck? How about this, sir? You don't get to get our praise

without our criticism. Since you got that energy then, I want everybody to start doing this then. Anybody who's been drafted in the top four or five picks in the last, let's say, 15 years,

your resume and your championship, you better have one by 26. Okay? Okay. That means you need three first teams. If you're a basketball player. Hold on. I'll let you talk. Can you please read his resume?

I want everybody moving forward to judge every superstar that's in the top four to have this resume by 26. Because if you're going to hold this energy to him, you better hold it to everyone. Can I talk now? Can I talk now? Can I talk now? What do they need to have by 26? Can you tell us? Hold on, hold on.

They need to be a six-time All-Star NBA champion, two-time gold medalist, four-time All-NBA selection, with at least three of those being first team. They need to be an All-Star game MVP like Tatum was, Eastern Conference Finals MVP like Tatum was. Also, they need to make the playoffs in every season that they've been in the league. Hey, Nick. Five Conference finals, two finals appearances.

So, Wimby, right now, Wimby, right now, you are not worthy to be in Tatum's presence. Because if they're bashing Tatum with that resume, good luck. His team was good when he first came in. When Magic came to a good team. Let me know when I can talk. And he won. And he won it all.

He won it all. He was the man. He took over. Magic, he took over. Tim Duncan, when he came in, he won. Who was Tatum's Kareem? Who did he come in with? They went to the Eastern Conference Finals.

They were already good. No. Boston's been good. Huh? Kyrie was hurt. They went to the Eastern Conference When LeBron James first came into the league It's full they got this food fed kind of damn the Boston Celtics what the fuck this is one of the most winning team

Like come on dog. They went to the Eastern Conference in my first year. 17, 18. It's spoon fed. By him. It's spoon fed. He didn't lead that team that year, bro. Yes, he did.

It was him, Brown, Marcus Smart. He did not lead the team. Come on, man. Y'all love it, man. Yes. Kyrie played, what, 27? Listen, man. Kyrie only played 60 games.

Thank you. Marcus Smart only played 54. Morris Smart only played 54. So the people who was holding it. Who led the team in scoring? Al Horford. Who led the team in scoring? Jalen Brown.

Jason Tatum. Who led the team? Rozier. Tyree led the team in scoring the regular season. 24.4. Let's listen. Who was leading the team? I guarantee you that was Jason Tatum.

So Jason Tatum averaged 13.4. So he was the fourth scorer as a rookie.4. So he was the fourth score as a rookie. Okay, so who was the number one? Regular season. Who was the number one scorer on that team? Playoff. Playoff. Playoff.

Playoff, tell him. He led the team in scoring. Thank you. He was fourth in regular season. Thank you. Led the team in scoring in the playoffs. What did he lead the team in scoring in? What was the number?

18. As a rookie. As a rookie. Number two, J is scoring in what was the number 18 as a rookie as a rails going to number two jalen brown what was his 18 okay what was the difference what was the difference between the two there's no it was 18 and 18 hold on sir oh i think you need to listen to this because you got you guys you just said 18 and 18.6 is it 0..6? Is it.8?.5 or.0. I already know you're lying. I know you're lying. What does it say?

Point what? Don't you do it, Joe. Wait, hold on. 18.5, 18.0. Okay, so again. Who got 18.0? Jalen Brown. Again, Jalen Brown is a second-year player.

Man. Right? Mm-hmm. The rookie, first-year player. Mm-hmm. The. Man. Right? Mm-hmm. The rookie, first-year player. Mm-hmm. The superstar, not playing. Mm-hmm. Because you hear we didn't say Kyrie.

We didn't say no playoff. We didn't say Kyrie. And during the season, he was averaging 13. During the season. And Jalen Brown was averaging 16. He's a rookie, though. Yes. Yes.

Yes. He's a rookie. So then in the playoffs, Jalen Brown still averaging 18, and the rookie came to play. Jalen Brown was averaging 14.5. 14 and 13, 18 and 18. But this is the second time you've been here. So during the regular season, it went Kyrie, Jalen Brown.

What are we talking about? Tatum is fourth, right? During the playoffs, Tatum. With the highlights, though. What's the point? The point is this. He lost. The point is this.

You don't get no credit for being a rookie and doing nothing. No. No, because you thought this team was led by Kyrie. You thought this team was led by Kyrie. They still lost. It was led by an 18-and-a-lawed. It was led by the 18 and the 19-year-old. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you to win. How the fuck you play for Boston Celtics? Come on. Look what's across those.

I automatically win if I wear a green jersey. You're expected to win. You're expected to win. What the fuck do that got to do with winning? If I'm expected to win, that don't mean I win. The championship's in our fucking arena. But that don't mean I win. Don't come over here being a Laker if you don't want to win.

We are here expecting you to win. Now I'm expected to win. Yes. Like you said, keep moving. Shaq will tell you. I'll put your goddamn helmet on. Shaq will tell you. I'll put your helmet on.

Shaq will tell you. Shaq will say, you're expected to win as a Laker. Stop, man. We don't accept losing. No, no. Larry Bird and them is like, no, we got to change this up. If that was anybody else, come on, man. What you mean?

Went to the Eastern Conference Finals, and you're bashing him? Come on, dawg. What did they do the year before he got there? Who? Was J-State on the team with IT? No. No? OK, that was before.

So the, hold on. That's the same year he got. Y'all be reaching so far. We do reach. You can't be expecting to win because I wear a ball set. Like, rookie? The year before they got back. The year before they got there, they lost to the Cavs.

Are you expected to win or lose? They lost 4-1 in the finals. It's the best program. It's the best program. Before Kyrie got there, remember, they went to the Eastern Conference before that. He's already going into a winning situation. The main player who's taking them both there is gone.

If Isaiah Thomas don't get hurt, we're not even having a conversation here about Jason Tatum. You know what you're saying? The star player got to the Eastern Conference Finals the year before. A star. Isaiah was playing. Got hurt. Yes. But he's playing.

Okay. They traded. Got a rookie. Kyrie there. Yes, but he's playing. They traded. Kyrie there. That means that the Boston Steel expectation has not changed. The expectation has not changed. IT got him there, and then he traded. Kyrie's expectation

take us right back where IT left us. Kyrie already got traded. You're missing the point. The year before, the best player is there. That means the second and third is in line. One, two, three, four, five. Right? They trade.

Kyrie's now the number one player. Kyrie did not play in the playoffs. In the playoffs, this man is not there. So that changes everything. The reason they got to the playoffs is why? The reason they got there is why? The star player took them there. He played 60 games. The star player took them to the playoffs, got hurt, and then we got to figure it out. And they figured it out. We got to figure it out. They figured it out with a rookie. The fourth option. Rookie Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum. Two rookies down there.

Jalen Brown second year. That's still good. I'm not saying Jalen Brown bad. What are y'all trying to say? You don't get no credit for that. You don't get no credit for going to the A's. No, for losing. You got there, you lost.

Good try. Look, good try. Come back next year. What the fuck? You want to pat on the back? You want a fucking birthday party? Bro, get the fuck back into the lab and try again next year. That's why I said.

You don't get credit for that. You get battle scars for that. You get memory. You get PTSD for that. You don't get no fucking birthday cake, bro. Hold this energy. Come on, bro. What is this shit, man? We're trying to get these niggas medals for fucking second place. Hey, man, I've done so much for this league, man.

Y'all should appreciate me. We're getting halfway there. Shit, at least we getting there. I get it. He won, so what is it now? It ain't nothing now. Y'all bringing it back up. No, he said it. Now they gotta win finals.

He said I'm not appreciated enough. Go ahead, Gil. This is your show and you're in Michael Jordan practice. What else you want? I'm just saying. If Go ahead, Gil. He's not. This is your show and you're in Michael Jordan practice. What else you want? I'm just saying. If you want everything, you're going to get the shit that come with it. Listen, man,

I'm just saying, man. He came into a winning situation. You can't take the shit out, Nick. You can't take the shit out of everything. You want everything? Here comes some shit. When a dog bark

at the moon, what happens? The moon bark back? Yep. Rawr! I was not familiar with the moon barking back at the dog. You ain't familiar because you ain't aware of wolves, motherfucker. You ain't aware of wolves. I'm merely a host. Yep. See? The moon's talking. Hold on. Let me just make sure everything's still working around here. Hold on. Let's see what we got going down. There it is. God is good.

We don't show Trailblazers highlights often on this show, and for good reason. But you got to see what Shaden Sharp did to the Wizards yesterday.

Let's take a look. Sharp stole the ball. Proceeded to cock back. Called Justin Champagny. Sleeping like a look. Sharps throw the ball. Proceeded to cock back. Called Justin Champagny. Slipping like a banana peel. Oh. Oh. Chivvies. Look how far he pulls

it back on him. He looked right in the rim too. Everything happened to the Wizards. Even today, huh? Where's it today, huh? Yeah, huh? Even out there on the fucking black, playing with Gil today. So some are saying that this is the dunk of the year.

I got to ask the couch. Is this the dunk of the year so far? Yeah. I mean, that jaw went be even though it didn't count. I was about to say, even though that don't count? It counts to us. This is Gil's arena. Nah, that's arena. That's fire

That's a that's fire Did he win a championship doing that done? All right, so why are we praising that? I'm not present bullshit that bullshit. I in a second you want me to praise you for Duncan for Duncan The fuck on the wizards on the wizard. He wasn't in Show me something wasn Wasn't in a championship. Wow. I praise this motherfucker here. Do you know what happened when you get to the last man on the last level? Shaden Sharp,

not the face of dunking in the league right now. They got 26 wins. Anybody can dunk with 26 wins. Shit. Fuck out of here. Are you dumb? Are you dumb? Are you dumb?

I thought it was a three. That's the best y'all can do? Oh, my gosh. Y'all remember to get all that? Oh, my gosh. Hey, oh, hey. Y'all gonna make me snap my fingers in this bitch. So that year when Ron and them had that draft, right?

So say Detroit picked Melo. And say he had... So what's the difference? If Melo go to Detroit and they've already been to the championship and they're trying to get back there. Same situation with Jason Tatum. No, no, no, no. That's 2003.

They wasn't hating. They wasn't hating yet. They didn't start like that yet. You don't think they would have been hating on Melo's career if he would go to Detroit and they win, and then next thing you know, it's like, they don't think it's not like that you don't think they would have been hating on mellows career if he would go to Detroit and They win and then next thing you know, it's like my spy. They don't win again. It's like oh well You know mellow ain't really like that. Well, there's gotta get hurt to like Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamill they would are being Wallace can't be playing through in the playoffs and he still make it to the final listen They would have been treating mellow the same way. No, they wouldn't

Hypothetically, he's coming He's coming into a situation just like Jason Tatum. Hypothetically, because we say we don't like. Hypothetically, because we say we don't like. Jason Tatum is the only one in this situation that they're hating on. That hasn't happened to anybody. Now we can't have haters. Imagine this happy world of all praising and slaping and glazing. Probably a better world.

All this glazing that niggas gonna be having to do just because of niggas. Hey man, get that dumb ass dunk off here, man. Give us some winning shit. So we gotta glaze everybody. Give us some winning shit. Gotta glaze, you gotta glaze just cause. We want winning. Crispy Cream.

That was a game last night? Crispy Cream. Can you imagine somebody saying, I'm gonna have to go watch that Blazers and Wizards game? Crispy cream. And be happy. I wasn't watching it. My TV only turns on the motherfuckers that's going to the championship. We can't criticize no more?

Nah. Damn. So I got to accept this nasty ass burger. I can't say it's nasty. If it's good, you can't just say it's nasty. If it's good, you can't say it's nasty. If it's the cheeseburger from the sweet, there we at. If it ain't the cheeseburger, you won't.

You know what I mean? He's a good-ass cheeseburger. You make him a burger. I don't want this good-ass cheeseburger. Especially if it's the cheeseburger you eat usually. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Like, he's a Laker fan, don't like the Lakers now.

That's the problem. I mean, yeah. What? I mean, no. I know a lot of people that don't like the Lakers because LeBron James plays for the Lakers. That's unfortunate, Brandon. That's a problem. Can we all unite?

That's a problem when y'all ain't won. Are you a Lakers fan or not? Don't you supposed to be a fan with win or lose? This would be 0-5. Or that means... Yeah, 0-5. 2020 NBA Champions, hardest championship in NBA history. 0 and 5. I've had enough.

Hey, who? My subscription is up. You're not going to get another dollar out of me. That sounds like the word. You're not going to get another dollar out of me. Not another, now I'm not. Who's a rival to... I'm out of here, yeah.

I lost three pieces of weight already. I just have no rival this month. No Valentine, no nothing. That's it, I'm walking. We have no rival. Everybody gets their ass busted equally. We're the Giants. So the Angels and Dodgers.

We don't fuck with the Angels. The Dodgers want them in the bubble too, though. No, they're not worthy to be talked about. No, but they're not worthy to be talked about in the same sense as the Dodgers. So it's the Giants and the Dodgers. What I'm saying is, you don't even look at this. Imagine being a Dodger fan your whole life.

Okay. And then Otani over in the Angels come to your team. Otani. It happened. The best motherfucker that's in the Angels, come to your team, Otani. It happened. The best motherfucker that's in the league. And then y'all decide to jump off the bandwagon and say, Ew, I'm not going to be a fan until this winter. Get the fuck off my, what?

Who gives a fuck? It was someone before that we didn't need you to come here. No, so Gil, to your point- We got this. When Shohei came to the Dodgers- We got this. I'm a Fernando Valenzuela fan. And now we got a dark cloud over our head for five years.

Rest in peace, Fernando. For five years, we had a dark cloud over our head for five years. Rest in peace, Fernando. For five years, we had a dark cloud over our head. We haven't recovered since. But they won. No, they didn't. He's not a Laker fan. He's a Cougar fan. Everyone had the flu.

It was a Jordan flu game. Everyone had the flu. 2020 NBA champion. The Dodgers won that year, too. Was that a flu? Who? The Dodgers. They did win.

Yeah, it was a flu. That's why when they just won, they were like, this is our real. History will repeat itself. Yeah, you got to win again. 24-25. For it to be real. So five years of bullshit. You know what I'm saying is...

Five years of bullshit. Five years of bullshit. If you are a fan of the team, you're taking on all... No, you're not. No, you're not. Josiah, did you stop being a Cleveland Cavalier fan when LeBron left? I'm a LeBron James fan, first and foremost. Thank you very much. Do you hate Cleveland?

No. No, the face of the league got to be able to speak English and be able to tell to the Americans.

That's it. That's the only reason why. He got to have all the league. He got to have all 77. That's why I feel like that man was on his way to being the face of the league. The face of the league should wear a pure number. No, the face of the league ain't the best player in the league though. So y'all saying two different niggas is the face of the league.

Y'all do know that, right? They're on the same team. 77 plus 23 equals 100. You're saying Jason Tatum one hand, then you're saying Luka, then you're saying LeBron, but then you're saying Luka and Tatum. Not yet, but maybe soon. But right now, LeBron. I think the face of the league ought to have everything.

The face of the league ought to have off the court. Brother, brother. Do you think? The way Luka was talking after the game, They were gonna hunt sleep. I heard everything that mother I said, but I heard everything everywhere. It was perfect English in my opinion. Well, I heard it, too Clipper Darrell, right? He's a clip lady Who he booze with the Lakers?

When they come to the Clippers, what do you do? Boo. No, he don't. He never booed us. He calls them boos. Oh, he said when they play the Lakers. When Westbrook was a Laker, boo! When he became a Clipper.

Then he cheered them on. Hey, boo. He's the best player. You G-L-Y. You ain't got no alibi. We Westbrook. We Westbrook. We Westbrook.

to get into before we move on to Mosey fans. Inwood was a very productive week back in the era. He said, crackers, tuna.

He got all that shit saying. Crackers? Cemetery Larry has tarnished brownies and cookies. In case I got to end the world. That's what it is. In case I got to end the fucking world. Keep fucking with me.

It's called the blip. If you ever heard of it, all right. You want it to fucking happen, you better leave me alone. What, seven years? Seven years. Seven years we've been trying to get our memories back Ladies and gentlemen, yeah, I want a cookie niggas want a cookie. I'll share my cookies. God damn it And you know really do LeBron like that. Oh, dude my could be nice a the king Fuck yeah, that's really what it said. Don't touch. Go ahead and take it.

We'll hit this one quick, and then we got time to do the... How long ago did I tell that cookie story? We talked about that a long time ago. I told that cookie story a long time ago. It became a running theme of the show. Nobody believed me. We had Norris Cole, who confirmed it.

Greg Oden kind of confirmed it, but also shifted to talking about other things going on on the plane. But Norris Cole did allude to the fact that LeBron's cookies had been removed from the plane. He said he saw them on the plane, and then he did not see them on the plane. And now they're right here. D-Way confirmed. And now Shawty's eating LeBron's cookies.

I hope they're still. They are. Okay. You know how long it's been? 22 years. I've been holding these motherfuckers forever. All right, but we were talking about, y'all were clowning the wizard, so let's do a little bit more of that Gil.

Oh club And I put the clamps down on this homie clamp that I didn't mean to Mean to you did you like the Oh, clap. Man, I put the clamps down on this, homie. Clamp that. I didn't mean to. My own team didn't lock you up. I didn't mean to. You didn't lock you up. Just like the coach did. But he ain't locked you up. The coach can lock you up. He ain't guard me.

That's crazy. Gil, the chat calling you Josh Howard. Ball up top. What I'm saying is. Wow. You look good. Damn. And that was a very crazy.

Wow. Shout out. What he just. Listen. With that wristband. Hey, man. That's Josh Howard with the wristband. Shout out to Joseph in the chat.

Gil, you're not Mike. You are Josh Howard. What kind of made me happy now? I know Josh was five, but we not adding this one. Hey Nick, this is a gym for you moving forward. Take the ball out. Failure leads

to success. I do feel like you. Excuses do not lead to success. Brother, you should have did what you were supposed to do to help this team win Let's just do Iggy no, not that Iggy not that Iggy I gotta go back and look at that tool too. I know. I gotta go back and look at that tool too. That was unfortunate with the references, but I'm talking about like we've been here before.

Let's do it again. Let's do it again. The Iggy I'm thinking about. Battle of the Valley MVP. Battle of the Valley MVP's unite. Battle of the Valley MVP's unite. Battle of the Valley MVP's unite. This is Iggy again. Battle of the Valley MVP's unite. Battle of the Valley MVP's unite.

Not talking that Iggy, I'm talking about Andre Iguodala. It's my first time, Joe. Andre Iguodala. So after the Warriors went over the Mavs on Sunday, Dubs paid tribute to a key member of their Dynasty crew as 2015 Finals MVP Andre Iguodala had his jersey retired during a ceremony on the court. Let's take a look at some of the video. Oh, look at that. Beautiful. He got the trophies there.

He got his Finals MVP that belongs to him for his remarkable performance in the 2015 NBA Finals, holding LeBron to 36 points per game. Mm. Mm-mm-mm. A tremendous feat. Should've gave him two Finals MVPs for that. But Iggy won four chips with the Dubs, become the seventh player in franchise history

to have his jersey retired, joining Chris Mullen, Nate Thurman, Alvin Adles, Rick Barry, and Thomas Sherry. So Iggy spent eight seasons with the Warriors, and is one of only 11 players in league history to win four chips and a finals MVP. I know we've had some thoughts about who deserves to have their jersey retired

previously on this show, but what are your thoughts on Andre Iguodala getting his jersey retired by the Golden State Warriors? Nick your former teammate a man you won a championship with a man who's partly responsible for the championship experience that you've brought to this couch This Iggy not not any other Iggy Just Andre Iguodala I used to get a little confused sometimes because I had them both saved in my phone You did

Yeah it was like Iggy 1, Iggy 2 So it was because I had them both saved in my phone. You did? Yeah, it was like Iggy 1, Iggy 2, so it was... Whoa. Should've went Iggy and Nicky. Oh, my God. Damn. It would've helped distinguish. Here I am trying to get a punchline. Right? You was ready for it. I was trying. I knew you'd have a movie on.

Amazing Nightmares, ladies and gentlemen. Please watch it. Hit it with the boo-doo-boo-boo-boom. Bada-dick-dick-dick. Light-skinned niggas. Light-skinned niggas all in to take the shine. That was right by me. I'm a corny old Negro, but on occasion,

I can get one through. You had her as, I think, um. I had her as TG. Huh? I had her on my phone as TG. Ooh. See how you want to not, not. See, you go too far.

Goat. They playing. Oh, wow. I don't know. That's a whole new job. My voice TG who see how you wanna not see you go too far Your team or your girl Wow Cuz I have both of my phone to just eat the player TG They don't really think that's true. That's not playing with me good Get mad about my white girl Yeah. Yeah. You see what OJ did? You see what OJ did? Because if he dropped that milk, if he dropped that milk, I'm going to put it right on up. You better not drop that milk. You know what I need with my cookies? You know what I need with my cookies? I should have just left.

You know what I need with my cookies? See, I don't like chocolate milk, boy. Chocolate milk don't go good with that. It don't go good with it. Come on, man. Fresh. You just gave him the animation that's- Old freshman.

You just gave him the animation that's- Yeah. I don't like chocolate milk, boy. Chocolate milk don't go good with that. Come on, man. Fresh. You just gave him the animation. Cold, fresh milk. I'm sorry, Jack. My bad. Can we shift it back to Andre Iguodala?

What were you going to say about Andre Iguodala? Cold. That was cold. Nigga. And Andre Iguodala getting his brand new. That should be in the Raptors, too. Yeah, for sure. Two Iggy's should be retired the Raptors, too. Yeah, for sure.

Two Iggy's should be retired. That shit's different. Thoughts on Andre Iguodala having his jersey retired by the Warriors. The show has gone off the rails. They in the white community. He never dabbled in the white community before. He don't know. He has no idea. What are your thoughts on it?

It could have changed your mind. Flaggy, thoughts on the Warriors retiring Andre Iguodala's jersey? I think he's going to be a Hall of Famer after this. You think Iggy belongs in the Hall of Fame? That was going to be the next topic of discussion. Gil was mad at me for saying that. We had a little conversation. But I feel like he's going to be a Hall of Famer.

He had a Hall of Fame career. Can't take it away from him. His finals MVPEP for championships So all-star Ginobili Tony Parker nobody shit. So he held it down in Philly. Yeah, and then he went to Denver like he did some You know as a as just a professional. He's like Label like Scotty Pippen at one time So previous on the show you guys have taken some issues with certain players getting their jerseys retired,

but you guys are fine with the Warriors retiring Andre Goddard's jersey. Yeah, for sure. Okay, for sure. I mean, it's the team. You feel he deserves it, because I do. Your team decides what you meant to them, right? So, the fact that they are retiring his jersey,

being there eight years, four chips, like, that's, you know, we can't question Brianna. We can't question what the team wants to do with the players that sacrificed for them. Right? So that was, you know, that's amazing, you know, for them. The Couchers united. Oh, yeah, we're rolling with that. And Andre... Shout-out to him.

Shout-out Iggy. Good dude. Yeah, your jersey retired're rolling with that. I'm Andre. Shout out to him. Shout out Iggy. Yeah, your jersey's tired. Real good dude. Friend of the program has been on this couch. Yo, I can see him being a champ. He get on my nerves, too. He gets on your nerves, too.

Why does he get on your nerves, Swaggy? I always do that smart shit, like correct my words and shit when I talk. You don't like smart niggas? Nah, you don't have to be smart 24-7. Why? We can't fucking turn it off. There's no turn off smart. When we out at the club and with the work, we want to be smart 24-7. Why? We can't fucking turn it off. There's no turn off smart.

When we out at the club and with the work, we want to be smart. Don't turn off smart, bro. That's a different level of... You turn on dumb. You don't turn off smart. You turn on dumb. You got to dumb it down for the work sometimes. Yeah, you do.

Yeah, you do. Dumb it down. Yeah, you do got to dumb it down. But he don't know. He privileged. Calculated. Yeah, he don't know how to turn it down. Money. He's thinking money. Shit. You ain't talking about a check, he privileged. Calculated. Yeah, he don't know how to turn it down. Money, he's thinking money, shit.

You ain't talking about a check, you're talking about your neck. Oh, you a pimp now, huh? Put that on a t-shirt, please. Yeah, tell him. What else you tell the world? I ain't gonna tell you. Come on, man. Gotta read the book.

Yes. Let me see. Let me see. Get me out of here. I don't wanna look at you. A little early today. We had a, y'all were hoping, y'all tired, everybody was sweaty.

That tour was lovely, man. That was the easiest. I ain't been in that situation all the time. Yo, that pick and roll action. I smacked 35, I wanna leave. I was gonna dunk that shit, I dunked. Oh, yeah, I was like, oh I had to I had two points two rebounds and two assists. He had three and two. What's up? I had two points and not rebound not for one the shootout. That's all that matter. We didn't miss no shot He's why you do what? We didn't miss no shot. Swag you did win a hundred dollars. I think he had like one or two. I missed three layups. I missed one layup.

I got the rebound. Yeah, I got the rebound on one. That arm is still just for buckets. That's why I said I'm two and two. Strictly for buckets. Be sure. Strictly for buckets. All right, but let's...

That guy, I'm wondering if he could have passed. So here's the question. Deny. Deny. I'm not on my brain. Deny. Back. Back door.

Deny. That man George. Deny. He feels elite. Deny. Deny. I'm a brain not back back door tonight Elite Back door tonight if the motherfuckers ain't ready don't play him on my defense was elite Brandon told me he said don't let him get Said don't worry. I'm, I'm going to make Gale Force a terrible shot. Bag off swag. Bag off swag. Never heard of a forced shot or a terrible one. Day in my life.

You heard him. Right in the corner. Okay, I'll go over there. I will go over there. That was the beginning of the corner, nigga. Man, beginning. What's over here? Man, I got to sit over here all day?

It's all right. It's not that bad over here. Just playing defense. Man, you didn't want to play defense. Air conditioning? You mean to tell me I got to run back. All right. Maybe you didn't want to play defense. Air conditioning? You mean to tell me I got to run back and play defense? You're coming right back to this corner.

Yeah. It's clear. I got to beat them here for no reason. You put your little bed down. You figure it out. It's not bad. Yeah. You wait.

If you miss that one shot you get, it's fucked. Then you going to get yelled at. Oh, for sure. Like a damn slacker. You only got one more chance. I told you to make that shot. Down and back. You got one more down and back.

Let me give you another shot. You better make it or your ass won't see this court no more. So, Mosey fans, we got a question from underdog user Money Mingo. Money Mingo would like to know, between MJ, Kobe, and Bron, who had the harder overall path to their finals victories? Between MJ, Kobe, and Bron, who had the harder overall path to their finals victory? Kobe. Swaggy, you say Kobe.

Why do you pick Kobe? Just, you know, it wasn't given to him. He had to take his, take what he was given. He had the pressure of playing with somebody that was dominant, but when the game was on the line, you know where the ball was going to and you had to get it done. I think

MJ pretty much won once some of the guys got out the way. LeBron came with a super team at the time. It was new. And he lost to goddamn Dirk Nowinski by himself.

So I can't do that. Hey, that was well said. I'm going to go. That was well said. That was well said. I ain't even met that from you. That was nice. That's exactly what I've been talking about.

So you said who has the hardest path to get to a championship? I'm going to say LeBron James because it was already his rookie year. They was already on him. Wait, are we talking about a career or a year? No, we're talking about his whole, like, coming into the league who had the harder path. Finals. Finals victories.

I think LeBron just has a record. LeBron did defeat the 73-9 Warriors in the most thrilling NBA finals in NBA history. Down 3-1. He took that weak-ass Cleveland team to the finals. What weak-ass Cleveland team? Oh, with Boo Boo? Yeah.

Boo Boo, whatever. He's got Bo Bo. It's already stacked. Boo Gibson? Boo Gibson. Against Tim Duncan and them? I mean, come on. They did not win a game, but they tried very hard to.

There's no other rookie or no other guy that's came into the league that's had more problems. But we're talking finals victories. I know, but I'm just saying just to get to the finals or even win one. We're talking about finals victories. So who had the harder overall path to their finals victories? He got to the league, his path. That sounds like a singular thing.

Finals victories victories with... So it's finals, victories, IES. So all of their championships? The plural. Jordan, obviously, six and on the NBA finals. Eight in a row. Why don't we get the stats and all this shit? I mean, will LeBron win the eight straight finals?

Jesus. No, we're talking about just the wins. Four wins. But all that... Five. Just wins. I All that but all that That we I know just all that all that because the hard every year the team you're going up against going every year though So who are you here? Who are you? I don't get no rest in the finals Who are you going to pass in the finals? Who are you going up against?

73-9 warriors a Very spirited heat squad, but that's one year playing in the boat about victories Someone victory like so when all your all of your victories in the finals, right? That's the two in Miami very gritty to Miami the one in Cleveland and the one arm it Calculate the tough the toughness of those finals games very gritty Thunder compared to a Kobe Bryant VPs on that 50 win team seasons in the finals and Boston Celtics in the can Gagey and then he picking Kobe. Oh, okay. It is nobody else to pick I don't know it would do that. Yeah

Three and three I'm gonna tell you get the cosmic key from he man. I did uh, it would do that. Yeah. You can go, Mike. You can go, Mike. Three and three. I'm just having fun. Who joined the team? Hey, can you get the cosmic key from He-Man? He did, it was Lakers. It was Utah. Lakers. He did Lakers. Old ass Lakers.

He did Portland. I had an old Lakers. He did, no, Lakers. Glide. No, no, no, he was talking about- That same summer, the Magic Johnson found out. Yeah, Lakers. Portland, Lakers.

Seattle. Seattle. Phoenix. Utah. Utah. Utah. Utah. Utah. And Utah. Shout out, Grylldor.

Some old ass Lakers he played against in the finals. That same year, Ruff Goddard had the shit, didn't he? After that season? Magic Johnson did. November of that year, some speculated that he may have been already playing with the virus in that finals. And then what, the Trailblazers? Just glide, just gliding.

Janky pushback hairline, as I'll remind you guys. And oldest Thorpe. Oldest Thorpe was balling. Who you got? Who did you pick? He picked Kobe. I picked the bean. Otis Thorpe.

Oh, Kevin Willis was on that team. No, no, no. He was on the Hawks. Was he on that team? Terry Porter was on that team, too. Yeah. Kevin Willis, Otis Thorpe. Them niggas was just cool.

Bane Arms. Jordan O'Keefe, he was going to get some harm out of him. Gil, who's your selection? Who'd you pick again? Kobe. Nobody. Bean. Bean.

Bean. Bean. Bean. Bane arms. Jordan Akil, he was going to get some harm out of you. Gil, who's your selection? Who'd you pick again? Kobe. Nobody. Bean. Kobe. Gil, who's your selection?

Who you got? Appreciate the Adidas logo on your Wizards jersey. Mike? Hey man, we ain't got all day. You picked... Now, I was just wondering, you picked Kobe. Why did you throw a shot at LeBron? Uh-oh.

What did LeBron have to do with you picking Kobe? I was explaining why I picked him. We don't care. Why you got to? That's what I'm talking about. But why you got to protect LeBron? Know what I'm saying? I said something about Jordan.

Why you just can't? Why are you the LeBron protector? Why are you the LeBron protector? Like, he did it correctly. He just said LeBron. He don't like the way you did it. He didn't throw a shot at nobody. He don't like the way you did it.

So I got to speak like everybody else? No, what I'm saying is... So I got to say... Think about what he wants you to say. What he wants you to say. On the person you picking. If you're saying, I picked Kobe Bryant because he won five chips.

But did you just hear me say Jordan played against Otis Thorpe? So you skidded past what I said about Jordan and all the bad kids. Yeah, he did. Because you did say it. You did. You definitely said this shit because he's trying to protect LeBron. No, no, no. What he's saying is you said something positive about Jordan,

but when it came to LeBron, it was just... He said Jordan played against Otis Thorpe, and such and such, he was like... Oh, you said he didn't. He was like, no, he's a dog, but when it came to LeBron, it was just... He said Jordan played against Otis Thorpe, and such and such, he was like... Oh, you say he didn't. He was like, no, he's a dog, but yo. This is exactly what I was saying yesterday. So you didn't hear me say nothing about Jordan? I don't give a fuck about...

You didn't pick Jordan. You didn't pick LeBron. So the two people I didn't pick, that says something about... You don't need to... And the person I picked... That's who you talk about. He don't want you to say nothing bad

about his guy. No, but understand, why did you just hear the LeBron part? They don't want nothing bad to be said about him. But why did you just hear the LeBron part?

You didn't get past what I said. He didn't say anything. I'm picking Kobe Bryant. That's a good selection, y'all, when I argue with you. I'm picking Kobe Bryant. The role that he had to do.

I'll get it. Right? The role that he had to do. The team left. He had to build the role that he had to do Right the role that he had to do the team left He had to build the team that he had and win two more championships. I think that role was harder But why are you folks on LeBron, right? I'm thinking about what I said about yes Why do people when we're talking about why who do you like? Okay, who do you like? Why can't you just pick who you like? Why are you? LeBron, do you have to throw it away first negative thing? I say no you didn't okay

I was the second tell me what I said. That was the second The first thing you said was how can you go to the finals for it? That was the last thing I say the first thing you said all right right, you're right. You know what? You can't tell me. I don't know what I'd be saying. But again, I'm just here. I'm saying,

why do people now, when we ask you, what do you like, why can't you just tell us what you like? We didn't ask you what you feel like. We don't want to.

Why? We want to do what we want to do. Of course. All right, motherfucker. Fuck. And right now, I want to do whatever we want to do? Okay, at least someone get you say that again So so if I ask you what's your top three right and then you give me your top three, right?

If I don't ask you well, why you didn't pick the other two exactly Fuck a run in the street. You? Exactly. So if I tell you to fucking run in the street, you're going to do what the hell I tell you, is that it? God damn. You're going to do everything I tell you. I got to do it your way. I don't know what that means. No, listen, I got to do everything you want your way.

I'm asking a question. I'm asking. I'm answering how I wanted to answer. Who are you picking out of the three? And I gave my answer. Kobe. No, I don't know who I want to pick. I'm confused.

What I'm saying is why do people need to throw dirt on the people they didn't pick? Because I'm going to tell you why. We didn't ask. But I'm telling you. But we didn't ask. Yeah, but you don't have to hear it. You can do this. Do this when we talk.

You're going out of the way. I don't want to hear why. Because we're going to say what you don't like. We're going to say I don't want to pick him because Man, he's between the legs between the legs is flowing. This is looks nasty But if I ask you why did you what did pick one of these girls you pick? I know what you're saying. She got a booty, dude. I'm good. She got a booty, dude, my nigga. I'm good. If you go, I'm going to go Kobe, LeBron, Jordan, right? By the time you say that, everybody

is going to have their comment. Yeah, you just name what you want. You don't tell us what you don't want. We don't ask. That's how you get what you want. You get what you want by saying what you don't want. That's what I'm saying. It's just, you got a booty.

You know, something stick out more than a booty. It's Like this pre notion of negativity on somebody you didn't pick we don't need to know it's the nigga being sensitive because we say What we want to say if we say we don't like your shoes nigga It don't mean go change them But if you feel some type of way you might just go change them cuz we said them sisters ugly But that's not no that's not the same thing if somebody said what who has the best shoes i'm like all right i like the jordans i'm not then gonna go away why i know i picked the joy okay i like the color i like the thank you thank you because i like why you don't like them why though why you didn't like these? Thank you. Why you don't like them? Why you don't like them, Gil?

Why you don't like them? No, no, no. Why you don't like them? Ah, you know you're getting trapped. Why don't you like these? You just realized you lost. You asked me another fucking question. That's the thing.

Is that the thing? Hey, man. What's the next question? You asked me another motherfucking question. Now, let me try this again. When you said Kobe Bean Bryant, who the fuck asked you about LeBron James? Okay.

No, nobody. Here we go. You got to ask your own question. Somebody asks you a question, you got to tell them how to answer it. I get it. I get it. You got to answer the top five.

You got to answer the top five. Boom, boom, boom. Why you don't like them? Now, why? Why is the second question? why okay now this is why Prove me right. I know he did. Popcorn player. Man.

You want to laugh? Come on, get a laugh with us. You can laugh, Gil. Why you want to laugh? Get a laugh with us, Gil. Why you want to laugh? It's a problem that everyone is doing. It's actually a problem.

You're volunteering hate towards people. I mean, it's... For no reason. So nobody's supposed to get that special... tell how they feel and the reason why they picked something. So you're just supposed to say, I picked this just cause. If I ask you... Yo, so if somebody asks you your top five, right? You're just gonna name your top five or are you gonna give us a reason why?

No Brandon, if I ask you why you got your next top five, you're gonna ask me why! So that's another question. You're giving him what he loves You're going to ask me why. So that's another question. So that's another question you're asking me then. No, it's not, bro. If you ask me what's my top five and I just name my top five, that's it. And then you be like, why? That's another question. So now I have to give you a reason why.

Not just, oh, I named my top five. Okay. And now it's like, well, why? That's another question. This is what you do. So if I volunteer that information, right? If I do that, what's wrong with that? Why are you volunteering hate to us?

I just said why. No, no, no. Nothing's wrong with it. If I volunteer positive, are you going to take it? Yes, it's three. We're giving you the... Yes, I'm going to take the positive because it's positive. I'm going to take it, of course... Yes, I'm going to take the positive. Because it's positive. I'm going to take it, of course.

Of course I'm going to take it. It's positive. But you're not going to take this negative. Don't you be talking negative. They're not realizing what they're... We're asking you what you're... I'm giving you my reason why at the same time. If I want to do all that in one question, I can do that.

We're asking you. What's the difference? We're asking you what you're talking about. If can't do it. We're asking what's the difference asking you? If I could give you my reasoning why I'm picking that at the same time as me doing my top five There's you know how you answer question right now And then you answer the question and you explain why as you English class is it like that man? Think about what is the problem here. We're not saying who's your favorite.

The stone is buttoned. Who you hate. Oh, we didn't say who we hate. We didn't say we hated. I don't hate the crowd. Now you're putting burgers in my mouth. You just heard. You're not letting me finish.

We're saying who is your top five all the time your top five all the time Once you do this, I got Kobe one because he did this I got Jordan two because he did this and then you say I got LeBron at three because he didn't win in The finals he He lost six times. That's a negative. It sounds like what you did to Kobe when you said, well, Kobe ain't never been in because Shaq, he wrote with the dude, what's the dude's name? Jay, Jay Snapback.

What? I said that in that whole interview where you said, for three years, you said, Kobe Bryant's championships did not count because he rolled Shaq's back tail. What? Out of your mouth you said that. He said I dissect. What the fuck? He said I dissect.

What the fuck? We're talking. Are you done? What the fuck? Coat tail? Okay. And then he said they don't count. So he said technically he only has two.

So he's not better than LeBron because LeBron has two. I said, oh, my fucking God. Did the guy who said Kobe Bryant is his favorite player just say that out of his mouth? That he's discrediting Kobe for being Robin on three championships? Okay. Now, this was between two people. Two people. The flaws and the negatives and the positive for both people.

It's not the same context. So when you ask me my top five, one, two, three, four, five. When you're telling me who do you pick between these two people, give you my positive for him, my negatives against him. My positives for him and my negatives against him. That was between two people give you my positive for him my negatives against him my positives for him and my negatives against him That was between two people when you ask me my top five Which means if there's five thousand people that ever played you're telling me to narrow it down to five That means these are the best five. I

Don't have nothing negative to say about it. You only do it for one person But you like that that's the problem because the guy because the guy you talking about only in a conversation Cuz I only heard of the state if we don't make you stats You're not even talking about him in you but you know not even talking about the dude Oh, no, he didn't LeBron and I said something about Jordan to do. Yeah, you did He didn't say shit what I heard about John and he said Cuz he did the same thing they could see What was what was what did I say I said what when you name something Did I not say this yesterday these two pulled two pulled the, they proved it today.

What I said yesterday. I said, when you name something that has LeBron in it, they're gonna give you the positive of who they like and then they're just gonna throw random negatives. You still only hear LeBron. What did I say about Jordan? He said other people. What did I say about Jordan? Did you hear it? First name. Did you hear what I said

about Jordan? First name. I'm telling you I don't give a fuck. Why are you skipping it? First name. Did you hear what I said about Jordan? First name. I'm telling you, I don't give a fuck. Why are you skipping the question? I'm asking you, what is the extra hate for? He's saying it. No, I'm not saying it. He gave Jordan extra hate. I gave Jordan. You didn't hear it?

I'm asking the question of him. So you only hear negative about LeBron. We ask you, who do you pick? You can't. Now you're going around the question. You're going around the question. I said something about Jordan. Who you like. why are you making this about LeBron you? You think who you like first thing I was about is a no second first, bro

Thank you. He brought up him first, bro. Oh, you brought him up first Oh, you brought him up first you bought him a second itself a whole think about and they are watching They all everybody's like come on. He read about it. And they all watching. They all, everybody's like, come on. He ain't reading the chat. Come on, Gil. You brought him up first. You brought him up second. You brought him up first.

You brought him up second. For no reason. I answered the question first. Then he asked for the second. So I'm listening to both of you. Who did you pick? You're confusing me. I picked LeBron James.

You picked LeBron James, right? Yeah, you picked first. You picked Kobe first. You picked Kobe first. What did you say? I answered the question first. Yes. You picked who? LeBron James, right? Yeah, you picked first. You picked Kobe first. Hold on. You picked Kobe first. What did you say? I answered the question first. Yes.

Alright, what did he do? I said I'm picking Kobe. Okay, and then? Because he's not LeBron. Okay. Now what did you pick?
