Starting point is 00:12:23 I'm a no limit soldier. So we got T. Morant, father of Ja and well-documented courtside legend at Grizzlies games at home and abroad to support his son, was ejected from a Grizzlies home loss to the Thunder on Saturday night for making repeated, overtly disrespectful statements about the integrity of the officiating crew. Hate to have to do this to you, Mr. Moran. Oh, shut up. Shut up. Mike Miller, too. Nah, I'm not in front of Mike Miller.
Starting point is 00:12:58 They would never do that to Usher. I know that. So, T is accused of yelling, the fix is in, from his courtside seats. Ja was asked if he knew why his father was ejected, and he said, he probably got kicked out, so I didn't. Probably complaining about something to the ref. So Ja has a history with one of the refs, Ray Acosta, who ejected him from a game in OKC three years ago
Starting point is 00:13:19 for questioning the integrity of an official. Ja also mentioned that one official, who he didn't name, wouldn't talk to him and started getting mad when he asked questions about the call. So, what do you make of Team Morant getting ejected from the Grizzlies game for berating officials? Good parenting, or is he over the line? I love how they got each other back.
Starting point is 00:13:39 He's a fan, right? A fan and a father. No, fuck that. He's a fan first, right? Yeah, yeah. I'll say father first, fan second. No, no, when he's sitting in there, he's in the stands, he's a fan. By the standard definition, not the Kendrick version.
Starting point is 00:13:57 So, when the whole crowd yells, ref, you suck, and they start chanting, chanting cheating and all that, how come the refs don't kick none of them out? Well, because he's directing it right at him. Right, like he's cursing. Like you right, because he's sitting right here, he's directing it right at him. But all he said, the fix is in.
Starting point is 00:14:19 No, that ain't all that man said, dog. Nick, that's what we're putting, that ain't, no, we tell the truth on it, Nick. That ain't going to get said, dog. Nick, that's what we're putting. No, we tell the truth on it, Nick. That ain't going to get you kicked out the game. If you're sensitive. Like you said, it's history, right? No, like, I've been saying to the dude, man, I'm in a position to fucking speak on it.
Starting point is 00:14:39 It ain't about you, dude. Sit your ass in there and watch your fucking son play, dawg. Cheer him on. Okay, you don't agree with the call? Okay, you can voice it to a certain degree. Shut the fuck up
Starting point is 00:14:50 and watch your son play, dawg. I don't know. I can't agree with that. I'd do that now if I could. My son in the NBA. Come on, Ralph. Your son in the NBA, Nick.
Starting point is 00:14:59 No matter. My son in the NBA. It's your son. I played in the NBA. I think I'm well-knowledgeable of this fucking game. But it's your son. I sit in that NBA. I think I'm well-knowledgeable in this fucking game. But it's your son. I sit in that motherfucker and don't say nothing to them people, dog,
Starting point is 00:15:08 because it ain't about me. It's about him. It don't matter. You embarrassing him, dog. It ain't about you. Is they picking on him? Sit the fuck. No, it ain't about him.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Who gives a fuck? If I'm just talking to the ref like a regular person. Who gives a fuck? It ain't about you, dog. It's about your son. If that wasn't Ja Morant's dad, he wouldn't have been kicked out. Okay, but so therefore you are Ja Morant's daddy. So you held to a different standard, so carry yourself as such.
Starting point is 00:15:35 No, I wouldn't. Carry yourself as such. He's the one with every fan do. That's what I'm saying, he's a fan first. He's the fool. He's a fan first. Okay, so therefore, but you didn't know, you're a father first. No, you're not. You're a fan. When I buy my ticket, I'm a fan first. He's still. So they're full. He's still. It'll fall trash. He's a fan first. Okay, so they're. But you didn't. No, you're a father first.
Starting point is 00:15:47 No, you're not. You're a fan. When I buy my ticket, I'm a fan first. How did God get here then? I'm a fan first. How did God get here? Out of my daddy nuts. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:15:53 He can't. Did a stork drop him the fuck off? When I'm at the game, I'm cheering for my son, but I'm cheering for everybody. I'm a fan. I'm a fan. I'm a fan of the game. When I sit down, I'm a fan. My daddy put that work in. It doesn't matter. I'm So carry yourself as such dog so like I just see the how about the person next to me who is he there for? So when you know one knows it doesn't matter it does it does know
Starting point is 00:16:23 He's sure Mike Miller says some shit. No, he's not Mike Miller son. knows. It doesn't matter. It does. I'm pretty sure Mike Miller said some shit. No, he's not. Mike Miller's son ain't out there playing. Doesn't matter. It does. You gotta kick everybody up. Mike Miller can say, man, it fixes in on calls. Nothing happens, but I do it. That's because you're that man's
Starting point is 00:16:39 father. Who said I'm father? You're held to a different standard. No, I'm not. Give! No, I'm saying? You held to a different standard. No, I'm not. No, I'm not. Gil! You are! No, I'm not! I'm a fan. So, do you plan on your son being in the league?
Starting point is 00:16:53 I'm a fan. Do you? No, nigga, you're not. I'm a fan. You're Elijah's father! I'm a fan! You're Elijah's dad first. I'm a fan first.
Starting point is 00:17:01 When he had them games, yeah. You can get the obvious. I can say if I'm yelling at these plays, but if I'm yelling for all the plays, I'm a fan. You're right, Gil. You're a fan. You gotta kick everybody out. You don't think those refs know him? They do.
Starting point is 00:17:17 But what I'm saying is you shouldn't be able to cuss somebody out, and when I do it, you target me? Yeah, that's crazy. If you say, ref, you suck, and Yeah, that's crazy. If you say, you suck, and you're like, and I say, you can't do that. Sounds good. Go to the court of law. First of all, the ref is a bitch
Starting point is 00:17:34 anyway. How about that? You're a bitch. You're a bitch for listening to one man. There's 22,000 people in here and you care about what one person said? That don't stop the fact that he held to a different standard I can be rest and be honest. Yeah, I do think it be a bitch a whole whatever Whatever you want to call it come on
Starting point is 00:17:53 Fucking different standard Come on Okay, I ain't kick me out of game yet. I'll be on the floor, but your son ain't out there playing I'm not you know, just put us your son ain't out there playing. No, no, no. I'm just saying. No. Your son ain't out there playing. Yeah. Me getting involved in the game like everybody else? You can't be in the motherfucking lobby to loud one all the fucking time, dude.
Starting point is 00:18:10 You can get caught up in the game like every other else. I'm a fan of the game. I can't watch the game. No, you're not. You're held to a different standard. Trust me. My son. And I feel like this ain't the first time.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Like I said, I'm able to speak on it. And I feel like this ain't the first time he's been doing it. I got first hand knowledge. I mean, I'm just saying. It got a, it's probably a reputation. And you know what? When I used to go to the fucking games in Houston, guess what I used to do? Buy my own fucking ticket. What's the difference?
Starting point is 00:18:32 You're still Kenya Martin? But I am, therefore I am. Mm-hmm. I don't want, if I do have something to say, I bought my own ticket. And what does that do? They ain't gave me shit. If I do, it ain't about him. Because if I decide to,
Starting point is 00:18:50 I'm there to support my son first and foremost. Okay, if you buy a ticket... I'm not a fan of the fucking Houston Rockets. I'm not a fan of... I'm a fan of Kenyon Martin Jr. But if you buy a ticket... T. Morant should be a fan of John Moran first Who no matter who he played for if you go to a game you buy your ticket?
Starting point is 00:19:12 Because if I do I don't want it to reflect your debt you can't give your dad ticket cuz your dad behaved this way I don't want to reflect negative to the old him because it's about him and his fucking workplace. Hold on If you buy play when you buy it by your own business, okay when you buy it with your own wallet I'm still his dad. I'm gonna change your name gave me the ticket. Does it change your name? It ain't gave me the ticket. So I dare for You him giving it to you when you When and if you get there, you'll see it. I'm still gonna think the same when I see it.
Starting point is 00:19:46 When and if you get there, you'll see it. Oh, you bought your own ticket? I don't know. Because you can't say nothing to me. If you're a Kenyan, I'm not doing none of that shit. I show up as that boy's daddy first. Okay. First, I'm there to support him.
Starting point is 00:20:04 So you just sit there and just watch and be quiet? If I do have something to say, I'm not going to fucking embarrass my son. All right, so what would you say? What is embarrassing? Getting kicked out of the fucking game. What would you say? You don't know me?
Starting point is 00:20:23 Do you think I hold my tongue? You just said you do? Do you think I hold my tongue? You just said you do. Do you think I hold my tongue when I need to have something to say? Okay, so what would you say? If you say, ref, make the call and I give you a tech kick you out, you still embarrassed him? Yes, you're right. You're absolutely correct, Gil. So I'm in the fucking wrong.
Starting point is 00:20:43 No matter what he said, he embarrassing that boy. Man, sit your ass over there and watch the fucking game and shut the fuck up, nigga. Nah, hell nah.

But what if you say it and you get kicked out? Nick, you know me, right? I done been to all my, listen, KJ's in the league now, right? How many games you think I've been to of his?

You always want to say facts, right? We're talking facts. Kenyon and I have never been kicked out of kj's game not one ever

He didn't say, bitch ass, fuck you, ref. Hold on, hold on. What they said, what they said. He did enough to get kicked out of it. The fact is they said he said the game is fixed.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Both of y'all right. I mean, listen. Both of y'all, listen, both of y'all right. If I said the game is fixed, it's two people coming up with two people saying, all right, man, you got to get the point. I agree with both of y'all. It's just how you feel. Did he do enough to get kicked out of the game?
Starting point is 00:22:17 What he reported, the game is fixed. Did he do enough to get kicked out of the game? Did he do enough to get kicked out of the game? Did he do enough to get kicked out of the game? Did he do enough to get kicked out of the game? Did he do enough to get kicked out of the game? Did he do enough to get kicked out of the game?

Did he do enough to get kicked out of the game? I agree with both of y'all.
Starting point is 00:22:26 It just depends on how you feel. Did he do enough to get kicked out of the game? What he reported, the game is fixed. Did he do enough to get kicked out of the game? He could have said anything. The answer to that is yes. He could have said anything. So whatever it was he said, did, did not. He got kicked out of the game.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Everybody that said worse words than the game is fixed. Other people get kicked out of the game. We're talking about Team Morant. Wait, hold on. So you think as a parent, if you get kicked out of your kid's sports event, it's embarrassing? Yes, dawg. I feel like I got to lose. Anytime.
Starting point is 00:22:52 You're making a scene. They're not kicking you out for nothing. They're not kicking you out for cheating. Yeah, but what if somebody like- They're not kicking you out for being positive. Yeah, but what if the ref is like blatantly cheating and then your son is getting fucked and all that? I've been there. I'm like, what are you-
Starting point is 00:23:04 I've been there. Right, so you're supposed to just sit there and- My son can play modern day all that. I've been there. I'm, like, what are you? I've been there. Right, so you're supposed to just sit there and... My son is playing modern day at Long Beach. Mm-hmm. Playoff game. They blatantly fucking cheated. Everybody different. I think everybody, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:13 They blatantly cheated. Did you say it, though? And what if I kick what you got your hand out? I didn't say it then because it ain't about me. But I'm still with... You're pretending. Cookies. You're pretending.
Starting point is 00:23:24 You know what I'm saying. Cookies. You know what I'm still with your Said you cheat these motherfucking kids. No cool. Did you say anything during the game? Why would I so you didn't say? You ain't gonna make no difference. But did you say anything? So what if they kicked my out? I'm like, damn, that's a bad call. Get out. Okay, but they didn't. The fuck are we making up shit now? But you're acting like it. Oh, we're making up shit now. But you're acting like it.
Starting point is 00:23:52 You always want to talk facts. But you're acting like it. You always want to talk facts, not hypothetical or nothing. You're acting like it. We ain't talking hypothetical. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. Real shit. Okay, 100%.
Starting point is 00:24:05 100%. Facts. Last year, we're playing Cleveland in the playoffs. Yep. It's on video. I'm just sitting there. Didn't say shit. Somebody yelled.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Bad call. Okay. They kicked me out. Okay. Am I embarrassing them? You didn't say nothing. You didn't do nothing wrong here. You didn't do anything.
Starting point is 00:24:22 But he got out. He got kicked out. He didn't do anything. But he got kicked out. He didn't do anything. But he got kicked out, though. They were in the wrong. That's the lie. That's the lie. But why?
Starting point is 00:24:30 But why? But why? No, no, no. See, no, no, no, no. Everybody in the room, you don't say nothing. Why didn't you get kicked out? He said something. It don't matter.
Starting point is 00:24:38 It looked like you got kicked out. Why didn't you get kicked out? He said something. You didn't. I thought I said something. They thought Elijah's father. They thought I said something. Because you his goddamn daddy wouldn't know that. They thought Elijah's father. They thought I said something. Because you his goddamn daddy.
Starting point is 00:24:46 You his father. It don't matter. OK, so wait. So what I'm saying is, I'm a hell to a different standard. So did he embarrass him, though? Even him thinking you said something, he thought you said something. But did he embarrass him, though, is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:24:57 So we put, wait, wait, wait. Because he got kicked out. So did he embarrass him? Hold on, one at a time. One at a time. So he got embarrassed for getting kicked out. So I embarrassed my son by getting kicked out. Yeah, but no. And I didn't do nothing.
Starting point is 00:25:05 It was the person. It wasn't you. You didn't say anything. The rest of the world don't know that. Who gives a fuck what the rest of the world. Did you say something? But it's still embarrassing. Did you say something?
Starting point is 00:25:15 You said you didn't. But is it embarrassing? No, T. Morant actually said something. That's the point, bro. We're talking about facts here. He said he actually said something. Listen, let's go back to the thing. I didn't even see what he said.
Starting point is 00:25:25 22,000 people obviously didn't hear him, so just the ref and the people that's next to him. You held to a different standard. All of line? Reputation and you held to a different standard. No, for sure. No, for sure. I said that.
Starting point is 00:25:37 He got a reputation with the rest for sure. He'd be down there acting up. Got hands from Shannon Sharp. He'd definitely be down there acting up. The Grizzlies-Lakers game not too long ago. So that's short, dog. Shannon Sharp, yeah. He has a reputation. But let me a rep but let me have a different organization guess what they gonna do Huh put him in a sweet put him put him work
Starting point is 00:25:54 They gonna put him somewhere different. You ain't gonna be able to sit here. You're gonna keep these babies Oh, so I love your dad. It can't come to the fucking game. Yeah. So let me spin it forward for you guys. I've been there with that one, when we were on team. Nah, that's a fact. Let me spin it forward because you guys have personal experience with this matter. So as a dad,
Starting point is 00:26:12 how hard is it to be at your kid's game and not talk shit to the refs? I ain't coming. Gil, I've been with you to some of Elijah's games before. Very spirited. I ain't coming. Very spirited.
Starting point is 00:26:21 And to all the high school refs, my team is in the playoffs right now. This is not directed at you. It's directed at the bad refs. But I've seen you go hard all the high school refs, my team is in the playoffs right now. This is not directed at you. It's directed at the bad refs. But I've seen you go hard on them high school refs. And justifiably so. Some terrible calls. A misinterpretation of the rules.
Starting point is 00:26:34 So we talking facts, right? So you know Monty McCutcheon, right? About to be out there. No money, right? So Monty's the head of referees in the summertime. Uh-huh. Right? We're at a tournament.
Starting point is 00:26:45 The referees are very bad in the first half. Awful. Halftime, they're in their little huddle. I say, the only thing y'all need to talk about is how bad y'all been in the first half. They get upset. They go tell Monty. Monty come over there, can't hear what you say. I didn't have to
Starting point is 00:27:07 say anything. The other parents say, he didn't say nothing bad to them. They just sensitive. Right? I do say shit, Gil. But I'm not getting... Why can't we use that here? You don't think he was just sensitive? I didn't get kicked out. What if they didn't go to Mon money and they just kicked you out?
Starting point is 00:27:27 They can't just kick me out. They had to go get someone like they did. The referee can't kick him out. They had to go get somebody who they thought was going to kick me out. They went and got. So, therefore, I can see. Why can't that ref be sensitive? He is.
Starting point is 00:27:44 I said all the things can... Listen, everything that you're saying can be right, Gil. He's sensitive. He a bitch. He's this. He's a bad ref. He's this. All of those things can exist.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Yes. That man's still wrong. He's still fucking wrong. I'm going all out. I didn't win a thousand of KJ's game playoff game They got two state titles. They played fucking tough fat. You don't think it's been bad call You don't think I wanted to lose my shit in there Different that is different in who this loudmouth motherfucker right now
Starting point is 00:28:20 Yeah, you're not that loud. Have you ever been to KJ's game? You just said you're not that loud. Have you? Have you? You're not that loud. Have you? We've watched the refs give technicals for clapping. I mean, I got kicked out of a game for clapping, so yes. So yes, I got kicked out of a game for just didn't say fucking one word.
Starting point is 00:28:40 So therefore, yes, they are sins. They are some of them, bitch, some of them, all that shit, yes. But now we're in a different light I'm KJ's daddy KJ playing the NBA. Mm-hmm It ain't fucking about Kenyon the scene was it the same ref that kicked Jai out? It ain't about Ray Acosta. So that brings me to my next question. So it's the same ref I had issue with Kenny Mauer same shit. Was there ever a specific ref that you just didn't get along with? Kenny Mauer. And what do you think that came from? He didn't want to kick out of game for clapping you can't you can't support your team. Like no it was
Starting point is 00:29:10 Who sarcastic clap, but I ain't say shit right? It was It was definite Steven Jackson. Mr. Tech. No, you're crazy. Right you were applauding that it Right Sometimes you just be like. It was the ball don't lie clap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why can't you say ball don't lie?
Starting point is 00:29:29 And gave me the fucking boot. So you had an issue with Kenny Mauer, absolutely. How about this side of the couch? Any refs, specific refs you had an issue with when you were playing? Man, we can't even talk right now. Whenever I got mad, I just wanted to get tossed. I'll make sure I got tossed. Like, that was just the biggest thing.
Starting point is 00:29:43 But other than that, nah. Like. Kenny off the Henny. I'm more on the ref's heads now when I be at the game. It's more fun now. It's fun. Gia, I got a question for you. You don't think you held to a different standard?
Starting point is 00:30:02 As a parent? Yes. As Elijah's father? Of course. You held to a different standard a parent? Yeah. Yes. Of course. As Elijah's father. Yes. Of course. You held to a different standard, right? Yes. Okay. As long as you acknowledge that.
Starting point is 00:30:12 As long as you fucking acknowledge that. Mm-hmm. Because you are. No, I'm just saying, I'll leave it at that. As long as you acknowledge that, we'll leave it at that. I'm pretty sure I'm not expected to get kicked out and say, oh, God damn, the fix is in. What? Dude.
Starting point is 00:30:23 It ain't in all that man said, Gil. We don't know It ain't all him. I mean, we don't... He said, Gil. We don't know that. Somebody wants... He wrote it. He said, this is what he said. That was...
Starting point is 00:30:30 So, therefore, that's what... His son got kicked out for the same thing. So, therefore... Maybe this is what the ref is targeting. It's...
Starting point is 00:30:37 If it wasn't issues with that shit before, refs betting on games. If there wasn't an issue before, it wouldn't be a sensitive don't be stupid It's just like to me, like with LeVar Ball. He kicked his son out for saying the same thing three years ago. Was it the same ref? Yes. Okay, the same ref.
Starting point is 00:31:07 So now you're targeting him, though. Too passionate. That's what I'm saying. So now you're his father. Now you're targeting him. He great. Right? So now it gets deeper.
Starting point is 00:31:14 So now, absolutely, your son said it to me. Now you say the same. Now you come. So absolutely, even more reason to ask you to get the fuck on Then that becomes you that's your personal True but not what I'm saying that's if you that's it So we asked the chat cool we asked the chat we said team Moran They don't come to teach job fucking with him. Hey man
Starting point is 00:31:44 Don't know what his job is. If he did have one, or if he does, they ain't come to his fucking workplace fucking with him. So we asked the chat, T-Moran is a blank first. We gave him two options. T-Moran is a fan first or a father first. 70% said father first. But as we all know, dealing with the refs

Starting point is 00:34:44 Get out. Get out. Get out. Everybody out. Game over. All right, well, you can't do that in the real arena, so you just target one person because he's famous. So let's move on to something much more important.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Who's famous? That motherfucker. See, that's the fucking problem. I mean, they do know him. That's the problem. He's not. And why is he on the... His son is.
Starting point is 00:35:01 People know him. His son is. Which make him famous. Not him. So why... Not him. His son is. Which make him. Not him. What? Not him. Watch the news. That sounds personal now.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Because he's daddy. What's personal? Nick, you got a makeshift grill in. What's up? I made it. I played the lead. I'm not living vicariously through my son. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:35:19 It don't matter. He grew a fellow. He can't keep his grill in. It don't matter. He made him. Well, T-Marine has some level of celebrity being the father of John. He's getting famous from his dad.
Starting point is 00:35:29 I mean, from his son. But he looks like Usher, too, so I think that helps boost his fame and celebrity. Like LeVar, shit. Yeah, I'm about to say, yeah, so what's the difference between him and LeVar Ball? So what game, so what has LeVar Ball done? I mean, they made him,
Starting point is 00:35:41 they told him he had to be quiet, basically, because he was telling the world how great his kids were. What did he do? And he made great kids. He went on it. He went live and told everybody How many boy I mean so both his boys been to leave right have we seen him get kicked out in NBA games I'll wait I'll wait. We've also now wait. We haven't seen him get kicked out of any concert either. Shout out I didn't fucking ask you that better It's the same thing
Starting point is 00:36:10 Same thing NBA arena kicked out of an NBA arena. No, but they told me There's no but what there's no fucking but no, did tell him that he had to chill, though. They did tell him he had to chill. He didn't get kicked out, but they told him he had to chill. He chilled. Cool. Right? So they silenced him because he's-
Starting point is 00:36:32 Because it ain't about him. It was never. He's, all he's doing is saying, my son is great. Y'all mad because I'm saying my son is great? Not at the arenas. Why not? All three of my sons- So you think, so let me ask you this.
Starting point is 00:36:42 So do you honestly, in your, like, your conscious thought process, if he's at the fucking Games yelling my son great my son great my son great Do that I didn't say I think I'm saying oh, yes, man He was saying you just said I got my son is great. Why oh, yes me right? Oh, therefore you so if he's at the arena, they gonna tell me to you If he's yelling positive things like my son is great child. They gonna tell him to chill As we know as we know the barbara no one to get kicked out for saying positive shit
Starting point is 00:37:19 My man, I mean saying my son is positive. I'm As we know the bar ballar Ball is never lost. Let's talk about another man who was never lost as a member of his current team. It's the most important subject of the show. It was the debut of Leluka Bronchik for the Lakers in beautiful downtown Los Angeles. Luka made his Lakers debut, a.k.a. Luka. So in the pregame huddle, LeBron made it clear that he wanted Luka to be himself in his Lakers debut. Yeah, I'm going to be Luka.
Starting point is 00:37:50 I'm going to be Luka. I'm going to be Luka. I'm going to be Luka. Luka, be yourself. Don't fit in. Fit the f*** out. Be yourself. Here we go. Down to one, two, three.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Try to fit in. Be yourself. Don't fit in. Fit the F out. This drew a funny reaction from Kevin Love on IG, who was punching the air right now on his page. For those who know, LeBron took a subliminal shot at Love on Twitter 10 years ago, using similar language, albeit reversed. And before the starting lineups, LeBron actually let Luka go last, which he gave up his traditional spot,
Starting point is 00:38:17 told Luka before the game, sent him a text, said, whatever you want, it's yours. Whatever you want, Luka. And Luka was very, very taken aback by that. Just a show of gratitude. LeBron James passing the keys and the franchise on to the next generation, as Magic Johnson would say. But let's take a look at some of the highlights from last night. So Lakers dominated this one from the start, as we expected. Luka could have got
Starting point is 00:38:42 the bucket through the lob to Jackson Hayes instead. So Gilbert, shout out to myself for watching it live on Playback. Shout out to Playback. Make sure you pull up to our Playback watch parties. Shout out to the 1,500 people that pulled up to watch with us. Luka was on a minutes restriction due to the fact that he hasn't played since Christmas while dealing with that calf issue. But in 24 minutes of action, he scored 14 points, had five rebounds and four assists. Only five for 14 from the field, but the emotions, the excitement,
Starting point is 00:39:06 the crowd in the building, everybody rocked with him. Dirk Nowitzki. Dirk said, I'm not rolling with Dallas no more. I'm a Luka fan. I'm coming over to purple and gold. We're going to move Dirk's statue from Dallas to Los Angeles. And Luka was a plus 15 while he was out there. LeBron, 24 points, eight assists, seven boards. And Austin Reeves, the number one third option in the NBA,
Starting point is 00:39:28 had 22 points and nine rebounds. Who would have it? He both. His confidence is amazing right now. Amazing what Luka will do, coming in. His confidence was like that before Luka got there, absolutely. So Ora, they had over 20,000 Luka Doncic shirts in Staples Center that they gave out
Starting point is 00:39:46 to fans. I got like six of them. I was supposed to bring them, but I couldn't find any of them. I had one for you, dog. And the Jazz, as we said, much better than what their record indicates, made some big moves before the trade deadline. That'll have them playing some inspired basketball. We got Swaggy P on the couch.
Starting point is 00:40:06 You have one of those Luka shirts. You were in the building. But after the game, Luka fielded questions in both English and Spanish, showcasing the skills that will make him a great fit in Los Angeles. Local reporters said that when Luka got to the podium after the game, he said, oh shit, that's a lot of people. He speaks multiple languages, Gil. Tri, lingual, I don't know what is beyond that, but. Swaggy, you were in the building, can you just show the fans your Luka shirt? I just feel the aura.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Oh! Just glowing right now. It matches Brandon's Steph shoes, so. Shit. When they give out the Lakers 30 jersey in a year and a half from now, it'll be an easy combination to get off. But Swaggy, you were in the building.
Starting point is 00:40:47 What were your first impressions of Luka in his Lakers debut? Oh, man. I was a little mad they played the Jazz because you couldn't really see too much. It was... Jazz much better than their record indicates. It was easy, you know. Everybody liked to score when you play the weak team.
Starting point is 00:41:05 A tough non-winning juggernaut in the Western Conference. They are a good team. They are a good team. Listen, for a minute restriction, that's what you want the first game to be. See, I didn't know it was a minute restriction. Like the crowd, we was getting mad because JJ had kept them out for like down there, nine to ten minutes. Yeah, first game back, wanted to ease them in. Tough jazz squad, playing spirited basketball. I started to chant and shit, Luca, Luca, we want Luca. Luca! But I say only 14 points, five for 14,
Starting point is 00:41:32 but show us some flashes of what's to come. But yeah, it's one of them games where, you know, when you blowing them out by like 24 and a half, it's kind of hard to get into it, because everybody's scoring as easy. LeBron, you know, doing him. Menace restriction. But I like what I see in the first game.
Starting point is 00:41:55 It's all right. Luka looked very slender. Nah, nah. I'm not going to lie. Man, you got aluminum foil in your mouth. I got a gold grill. I got my grill. You got his grill.
Starting point is 00:42:04 That's aluminum foil. Grill.? I got a gold grill. I got my grill. You got his grill. That's aluminum foil. It's a grill. He don't know about it. He don't know about it. He don't know about it. So, Cemetery Larry, you were watching the game with us on playback. He's a mess. Shout out to the people's champ, Paul Wall.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Cemetery Larry, you were watching the game with us on playback at our watch party. We're quiet at points. Also gave us a great tour of the trenches in your new facility. But what did you think about Luke in his first game with the Lakers? I think he should have waited. I think he's still lingering, trying to get back to full recovery. So rushing him back, man, he's not going to give his all. I think he was still kind of nervous a little bit.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Overall, though, a rejuvenated LeBron James can help everybody out there look different. So just him looking different out there. Luka didn't have to do nothing. You know what I'm saying? He stole the show like I told y'all he would. I told you. What? I'm number one until I get the fuck out. I don't know what this whole number two, get the keys up is.
Starting point is 00:43:10 That shit is dead. We've already said Lucas is the face of the franchise. It's LeBron James. Yeah, we already said that. The show will always be mine. LeBron is rolled out the red carpet. Until I leave, you think Kobe was ever going to hand over a number two spot to somebody? Uh-uh.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Until I got out of here? It seems like LeBron more than willing to do it. Like I said, texted Luka before the game, told him whatever you want. Shit. I ain't got a better chance of winning. Shit. Man, 40, dog. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:43:34 You can't have my side piece until I'm done with it. Huh? No, Luka went on many restrictions. You can't have my side piece until I'm done with it. If he went on many restrictions, I think, but. Pass the piece, though, as you always say. Yeah, I'm going to pass him. I'm going to pass him, but I ain't done yet. I ain't done with it. If he wasn't on men's restriction, I think, but... Pass the piece, though, as you always say. Yeah, I'm going to pass him. I'm going to pass him, but I ain't done yet.
Starting point is 00:43:47 I ain't done with it. And man, 40, trust me, he won't pass. I got a better chance of winning being number two right now. This one. Who? Bron. Nah. Play different.
Starting point is 00:43:56 I got a better chance of winning. You won't get the credit you need to get out of here. Mr. B, former Lakers fan, making your way back onto the bandwagon. Luka. Luka bandwagon? I'm happy for Luka. But you're not happy for... I just want...
Starting point is 00:44:10 I mean, if Luka's playing well and playing great, you guys are winning. So I just wanted to play well and show the world that the Europeans are the best players in the league. So you're not a Lakers fan? This is a European thing with me. We support Europeans on this show. You know what I'm saying? This is a... Because Europeans are dominating the league. So This is a European thing with me. We support Europeans on this show. You know what I'm saying? This is a... The Europeans are
Starting point is 00:44:26 dominating the league, so this is a European thing. A European had to come to the Lakers and say... Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't you do that. Don't you do that.
Starting point is 00:44:37 So, so, so... European fans, like, he's just a Luka fan, but you don't care about the Lakers. I'm trying to figure that part out. It's like...
Starting point is 00:44:46 Why do we care? It's like, I like it, but it's like... If he's buying... It's like this European... He's buying the gear. No, this European came over here and saved J.J. Redick's job. Mm.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Mm-mm-mm. Like, that's crazy how that works. Let me go do a podcast with Bron. Sit here and do the plays, and then we go... Damn. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. I mean, it's, are they trying to write the story already?
Starting point is 00:45:08 Like, I mean, the script has been written, bro. Oh, just come out and say it. Oh, Oscar. Come out and say it like, I should be wearing a ski mask, bro. You say, okay. But I get it though. I mean, you know, like I said, the Europeans gotta go to a big market team. They don't know why not.
Starting point is 00:45:24 I'm not gonna disrespect the Europeans. Well, I love it though. I mean, you know, like I said, the Europeans gotta go to a big market team. Nick don't deserve it. Why not? I'm not gonna disrespect the Europeans. I love one European. We support at least one. Who? Just Luka. I don't care about the others. Giannis and uh...
Starting point is 00:45:36 The Jokers and shit. And Giannis? I wouldn't care about Joker neither if I was a Laker fan. We're not afraid of Joker anymore. Shit me. You crazy. I ain't afraid of that. They should be. Y'all still ain't got nobody to guard it.
Starting point is 00:45:47 They should be. They still ain't got nobody to guard it. Shit, man. We just gonna be a lot of scoring out there, man. Facts. There's gonna be a lot of buckets. Gil, we watched the game on playback. What are your initial impressions of Luka Doncic?
Starting point is 00:46:02 Shit. You can tell the truth. What's that? Is that six in a row for us? That is six in a row. I believe nine in the last ten. Nine out of the ten. Ten out of the last eleven. Eleven, excuse me.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Relax. Ten out of the last eleven. Eleven out of the last thirteen as well. Sorry. That's before. That's before. That's before. Number one defense in the league
Starting point is 00:46:23 during that stretch. Twelve out of fifteen. The Lakers? Yes. Number one defense in the league during the stretch. That's before that's before number one defense in the league though during that that's the world about a 15 Lakers. Yes No more defense. I believe that's before 30. This is what we were already You know what saved his ass was winning games hmm West right I don't care why you're there. Get the ball to 77. Everybody get the ball to 77. Get the hell out the way.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Get out the way. As long as he get his. The face of the franchise, Luka Doncic. The face of the NBA now. You shouldn't have waited until after the break. Huh? You don't think you should have waited until after the break to play? Like, share some of the money.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Give him a few more days. I think trying to get a couple. You got Jazz, Jazz, and then who else? All Star break. Yeah, yeah, trying to get the names in. Now you can get in shape a little bit and then get back. Because you ain't playing an All Star game.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Huh? Yeah. We got two games against the Jazz though. Yeah, two games, Jazz. KJ not playing yet, so. You're right. They saw a golden opportunity. All right, let's let Luka.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Talk about it, yeah. I see the last one. Go KJ. We was looking around, hold on. Okay, we good. Yeah, he's let Luca cook. Talk about it, yeah. I see the last one. Okay, Jay. We was looking around. Hold on. Okay, we good. Yeah, he had practice right now. I'm getting it in, so. Oh, beautiful moment.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Let's just take a moment to appreciate Luca and all that he's done. Listen, listen. Those corner guys, they better start sitting on them shooting machines. They better, hey, you got one job. They was doing all right. You know what I'm saying? You got one job. That job is when you. Yeah, I'm saying you got one job. That job is when you open, shoot it.
Starting point is 00:47:48 I wasn't impressed by Vincent. Vincent. Hey, I know his name now. Gabe, four letter word. See, I thought it was three letter. He keep shooting. I thought it was three letter. I thought his name was Gab.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Yeah. But three of them. Dill has acknowledged Gabe Vincent for the first time. Gabe, Gabe. Witness life's getting to get good. We got Shamar Moore coming with the field. Dill has acknowledged Gabe Vincent for the first time in the history. Witness life's getting to get going. We got some more and more coming through. I know one person y'all better have a conversation with. Because if y'all throw that motherfucker to Vando
Starting point is 00:48:13 and he cock that bitch again and shoot that air ball in the fucking corner again, hey. If he cocked, hey, y'all need to have a conversation with Vando. Somebody need to tell him, dog. Hey, we get it, dog. You've been working on it, but it's nothing. Drive the ball, dog. Yeah. Or shoot it
Starting point is 00:48:27 with your right hand. Drive the ball. Shoot it with your right hand. The left hand done. Hey, dribble hand, dog. Wide open, bro. He needs to go dribble hand, dog, with somebody. He needs to roll. He's definitely a pick and roll guy in this NBA. Like, he's specifically pick and roll and
Starting point is 00:48:43 drive guy in dribble handoff. Yeah, he need to go watch some Dennis Rodman stuff, man. Yo, I watched him work out. Listen, I watched him work out during the Panhandle. He was at the working out at the Christian Johnson Joint. He wore himself. They was playing ones, like one-on-one, you score. I watched him wear himself out because he couldn't shoot.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Mm. Everything he did was Who at the back? This boy gonna die Jordan going good when good when we cover up he took that man's watch Washington got traded with Bill Yeah to the Sun the Suns. He just came from the G League. It was hustling last night. Balling.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Balling, yeah. They might cut, what's her name? Milton? Shaq Milton? He took that mask off like, shit, this shit bother me. Rebalance. It's going to be between them two, and one's 10 and 17. I mean, shit.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Whoever can shoot that down, better get in that corner, though, like you said, with Bron and them. You're going to get paid. And they also got some of them passes they throwing over there, two of them corners. Like, yo, Luke and Bron over there firing that motherfucker. Hey, Luke had a couple of those. It's going to be hard. Hold on. Bron wanted him to ruin the corner and told him to move over some more.
Starting point is 00:50:01 He move over some more, he going to be fucking sitting in somebody's lap. He threw that motherfucker, ruined through his hand out here trying to catch it. He told him, move over some more. He move over some more, he gonna be fucking sitting in somebody's lap. He threw that motherfucker, Rui, threw his hand out here trying to catch it. He told him, move over some more. I was like, he can't move over no further, dog. Move over some more. That was the play we was talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, who turned over? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? They gave him the brawn.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Yeah, you should have. They told that man to move over some more. Like, no, man. Yeah, you turned that. They told that man to move over some more. Like, no, man. You turned that bitch over, man. It was like three or four of them motherfuckers that were wide left. Like, yo. So, Lakers climbed up to fourth in the West after the win last night. Won 11 of their last 13 games.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Like I said, number one defense in the league during that time frame. Gil, question for you. Hold on, let me let you sip your tea first. Are the LeBron,Luka, excuse me, are the Luka-LeBron Lakers the most dangerous team in the West? Luka being the face of the franchise. We need a couple more games to really see,
Starting point is 00:50:56 but just from just how they're playing, right, you do have Luka and Bron driving, and if you're helping, they are passing the ball. I mean, there's layups Luca had here, and he's throwing it. So just him alone changes everything because how he plays the game. He plays inside, outside. He don't settle much. He's trying to get fouled.
Starting point is 00:51:22 So when he gets in this element, I mean, he's going to cause havoc itself, which is going to make, naturally, the game easier on LeBron because he gets the drive. No one's going to help, right? So you... It should be fun, right? There's going to be a time where how they're passing it, LeBron
Starting point is 00:51:40 and Luka will have a triple-double in the same game. It's just... I mean, we's, I mean, we had what? We had 100 points by the third. They had 37 points in the first. We ain't never had that before. Never, ever had that before. I mean, triple-double games, you think they're going to have together?
Starting point is 00:51:57 They are out there. Somebody already made it. Thank you. I was just sitting over here thinking, like, oh, y'all will be the second to do that shit. You ain't say first. I just said they should. And who is that tandem that's done it?
Starting point is 00:52:10 That burping baby fella. Wes Brooke? No, the other one. The big burping baby. The big one. The big guy. The baby he was burping no longer with the Lakers, just as a reminder.
Starting point is 00:52:21 But it was a collective burping. We got a Slovenian beer now. He had a daycare. It was a collective burping. He was going down the line one at a time. Just, hey, now, hey. Come on. Beat the foreign, we had to bring a foreign. Uh-huh. So, uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Seven Lakers and double figures. Yeah, I'm still thinking about the match-ups. I'm still thinking about the match-ups. Are Jokic just going to bring in his... Like, I look at him like... One of the two teams, y'all, like, because... Nah, we're not worried. I'm not worried about Denver matchups. Jokic is going to bring in his... It's one of the two teams, y'all. I'm not worried about Denver no more. Because he's going to bring in his 55.
Starting point is 00:52:50 He's going to have his 30, 12, 14 rebounds. That 10 assists. So he's going to combine for 50, 60 points. Luka does that too. So that cancels each other out. So I'm good with that. No matter how good Anthony Davis played, for him to cancel out Jok kids. He had to have 50 and 14. Yeah, I'm which hmm Alright, it was just you know them the sisters fucking people up if y'all go
Starting point is 00:53:14 Matchup shouldn't be a issue less Not concerned City they they got a big ass Oklahoma City like they can go big, but other than... They could, but it's just they're not... It's just not ready yet. But y'all other guys, they're young. So are y'all other guys.
Starting point is 00:53:32 You know, rep. You know, come on. You know, rep. Yo, did Josh sign AR to a long-term deal? You know, rep. Did Josh sign AR to a long-term deal? I think a year later. Yeah, we got him on a bullshit deal.
Starting point is 00:53:41 He's locked up. The AR ball, man. He like... He willingly tapped. He got one more year? AR's got two more. He's got one more season player option, 26, 27. So he'll be looking for an extension. I'm going to say, yo, somebody going to offer him.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Lucas. That's some big. He'll deny it. He's loyal to his soul. Lucas was crying to the ref last night like that. Yo, y'all. He is limit daddy, for a reason. Fucking around would be scary.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Huh? Yeah, just when I was looking at him, I'm He is limit daddy, for a reason. Fuck around, be scary. Huh? Yeah. Yeah, just when I was looking, I'm like. I'ma be honest, I'ma have a real basketball honesty. Yeah, just fuck around, be scary. Very spirited. A.R. plays, plays solid, ruin him. I guess less pressure. Jackson Hayes, Coloco, young bigs.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Y'all can play them the same. A.R., he going back. We don't need him. I mean, we don't need him. I'm saying, but. I mean, we don't need him to play solid. If yoco, young bigs. Y'all can play them the same. He going. He going. I mean, we don't need him. I'm saying, but if y'all need bigs, y'all going to need some bigs eventually to do something. Like, y'all going to need a couple bigs to be serviced. Right?
Starting point is 00:54:35 Jackson Hayes. I ain't saying they got to go out and have no huge numbers, but y'all going to need eventually somebody to be serviceable. We saw Luka have the chance to get that first bucket through the lobby. Jackson Hayes. Jackson Hayes, six for six in the game, 12 points. I was just looking at that. Brian did the play before.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Just a week ago, A.R. wasn't better than Bill. Exact same play. I don't think he better than Bill. A.R. wasn't better than who? Bill. Just a week ago, y'all was saying. Bill. A.R.
Starting point is 00:54:57 I mean, from what the Western has said, A.R. was our second best player in the playoffs. Average of seven points a game. He better than God damn A.R. Yeah, I was saying Bradley Bills, but There was some rumblings there Bradley bill better third option. The awesome Reeves good used to me having just 18 come off the bench Right now can't be in the nails and forget about how good people were played by themselves. Austin Reeves averaging 19.6 and four. Just don't know. That was your average?
Starting point is 00:55:31 19.6 and four. More than Bradley Beal. As a third option with somebody that's ball-dominant. Hey, how about this? Two. Two other guys that are ball-dominant. How about this? Hey, how about this?
Starting point is 00:55:42 If they played one-on-one, who win it? I don't know right now. Me either. I don't know. Me either. who would win it? I don't know right now. Me either. I don't know. Me either. The way that boy out there looking. The way that boy looking and moving out there. The way he playing right now, I don't know. The way he playing right now, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:56 He got a lot of confidence. Listen, he got a lot of confidence right now. Y'all got him for the low. Y'all got him for the low. He low-key. He low-key looking at Bron like, I got the second option. He looking at Luka the same way. Let's talk about Luka.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Hell yeah. Let's talk about Luka. Listen, Luka. Listen, Bradley Bill. Oh. Just the contract disparity, too. I think that adds and heightens his value as a third option. But doing his part during Black History Month during the five games this month, Austin Reeves
Starting point is 00:56:20 averaging 27, 6, and 6. One-on-one right now. I'm taking him. I'm going higher. I'm taking him. I'm going higher. I'm shit. One on one right now. I'm taking him. I'm going higher. I'm taking him. I'm going higher on this. I'm going limit. I'm going higher on this.
Starting point is 00:56:30 I'm going limit. Second option in the whole time. I'm putting it all on this. Take it to the limit. This white boy ain't got nothing to lose. I want to put some lemon in my water. I'm taking him right now. I'm taking him.
Starting point is 00:56:38 What? What? I think it might be the best. Slow down, slow down. Who? Fucking Convidence is amazing right now. Best what? Yeah, his Convidence is crazy, crazy. So ain't nobodyance is amazing right now. That's what? Yeah, his confidence is crazy, crazy. So ain't nobody fucking with him right now.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Let's go all the way. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Got it. So we asked if Luka was passing. And he went over there and told us, anytime y'all want to sit. He had a 40-something point game, right? Let me know. 45-77 on the paper. Y'all better stop fucking with me. Saturday. I like his confidence.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Take a night off if you want to. So we asked the chat, are the Lakers the most dangerous team in the West? Only 51% said yes. Confusing, but... Confusing, but... Chat sometimes does what they want to do. So, Gil, we talked about this a little bit
Starting point is 00:57:22 on our playback watch party last night. LeBron, 40 years old, year 22. still unsure how much he has left to play for, how much he wants to play, but will playing with Luka make LeBron consider extending his career? Yeah, I think that's why they did it. I mean, as a business, you're going to keep LeBron there as long as possible. Sell them jerseys as long as possible. Sellron there as long as possible sell them jerseys as long as possible sell them tickets as long as possible so as long as he wants to keep playing god dammit we got a seat for him mm-hmm so if you know bringing
Starting point is 00:57:56 in someone who's gonna take take over the the heavy shoulder responsibility then you know I'm pretty sure he's all for it. I'm pretty sure if they can bring in another superstar, he can go to the fourth, third option to try to, you know, decorate his wall a little bit more. You only got, this is only one game. When it's over, it's over. Decorate that bitch as much as possible
Starting point is 00:58:20 because 20, 30 years from now, the motherfucker's not going to know who you are. All they do is just going to look at the hardware and then argue for you. That's it. Like, the people who arguing for Michael Jordan right now, they never seen not one motherfucking move from him. You born in 2000.
Starting point is 00:58:38 So LeBron has a player option this summer, $53 million. Do you see him signing the extension with the Lakers but at what price point Gil that's the real question that's the trick coming we got right now well we got you you take a pay cut next year who can we get y'all gonna be mad at him. Kevin Wayne Durant. Oh, I thought you said AD. I was like damn you can bring him back. Wait, can we bring him back? Wait, wait, wait, wait technically how many years as it has to be a year a full year?
Starting point is 00:59:13 So AD under contract. He has a player option 2027. So no no no, but what okay? Yeah, Kyrie. Oh Kyrie can opt out this summer. Yeah, I'm going to say Kyrie's up. It's all on Bronze Extension. Bronze Extension saves a lot of money. If he's willing to take a pay cut, but... Man, at this point, how much goddamn billions the nigga need now? How much billions? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:59:38 It's either money or rings. It's what you want. At this point, you can take $1, goddammit, and we can get a whole USA team around this bitch. Something you play up. So we asked the chat, will playing with Luka make LeBron consider extending his career? 85% of the chat says yes.
Starting point is 00:59:55 God bless you, chat. So let's talk about another trade that was going to help the Lakers, but it may help them still. But Dalton Connect was back on the Lakers bench and street closed last night, but the Hornets are hopeful they can still have him on their roster. According to Shams, the Hornets are disputing the rescinded trade
Starting point is 01:00:12 due to Mark Williams failing his physical. Here's a direct quote. Hornets are considering their next steps and weighing avenues to challenge the Lakers' evaluation process or seek alternative resolutions with the league office. Side note, Mark Williams has missed 60% of the possible games in his career due to various injuries.
Starting point is 01:00:28 I think the CBA supports the Lakers' decision as it is on them to make the determination in the physical whether a player has failed or passed it. But what percent chance do you think the Hornets have of winning this dispute? Zero. Zero, right? Wait, wait, wait. So they got rid of him. They gave me a broken player. And we gave him back. Man, they? Wait, wait, wait. So they got rid of him. They gave me a broken player.
Starting point is 01:00:47 And we gave him back. Man, they don't want him. Now you don't want him back. They got rid of him. They got rid of him. That's even worse. They got rid of him. We gave him back.
Starting point is 01:00:55 They said the Lakers were thirsty to get him and we're welcoming him back, but now they're trying to... Damn, Mark. Hey, listen. Hey, connect. I know you and your feelings, but you need to fuck off at this point because his team don't want him back. That's some fucked up shit.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Now you're stuck in the middle. Hey, fellas. Wait, hold on, man. Hold on, man. What you doing here? What you doing here? We still trying to send your ass back. You're supposed to be 100 feet away from me.
Starting point is 01:01:25 You're supposed to be 100 feet away from my... You're supposed to be 100 feet away from here. That's... Wait, no. They can't do that shit publicly. They doing it. That they are trying. Let's move to this side of the couch. Canyon Cemetery Larry, what percent chance do you think the Hornets have of winning that appeal? Gil's number? Yeah, that shit is good.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Agent Zero. Changed the game. Yeah, it was damaged goods already, so... I'm winning that appeal Gil's number Zero Damage goods already so and we think they knew that you gotta get an injury report Like they know what all games hitting missing what injury so that they going specifically looking at them like so you say it was left foot He did what he had a tendon in it. Let me go look at this and see if he can What his range of motion is in his foot and what it should be. Ah, yeah, that ain't gonna work for us. He could not crip walk to not like us.
Starting point is 01:02:12 We'll just say that. You are arguing that we don't want this nigga. Yeah, they said people... That is... That's crazy. Is this the first time ever? I'm sure it's happened before, but... Oh, no, there's no way. Y'all trade it, trade it. He comes back, and? I'm sure it's happened before but... Oh no, there's no way y'all trade it.
Starting point is 01:02:27 He comes back and then I'm gonna argue. Nah, y'all gotta keep it. No, y'all ask for it. I told you, keep it! Indian giver. You know how... That's a horrible feeling, man. That's embarrassing.
Starting point is 01:02:43 You really are... Like, fighting to get K'Nek back. Like what do you do? You don't want to come to the ring. That's what all the women do. If you bark, what do you do? Stay away. West side K'Nek game. You better go get them knees. Y'all ain't hear what they said about K'Nek? He said, Connect told JJ before the game that he needs some time,
Starting point is 01:03:05 some time to process things before returning to play. Cool. Great. Yeah, that's why I said he need to get out of his feelings because that man over there, they don't want him. He needs some time to process. He thought he was about to be able to get some shots up, boy. He still is if he come back.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Nah, that's like the... Off the bench? No, for that. Jordan Goods. That's what I'm saying. That's like taking one for the team. But in New Orleans, I mean, with the Hornets, he could have got some minutes.
Starting point is 01:03:36 He could have got some minutes. He could have got some minutes for connecting them on. With that Luka Drake. Damn. Yeah. You ever try to take one for the team? I'm laying out. Have you ever tried to take one for the team?
Starting point is 01:03:44 You ever take... You had to take one for the team, but the it out. Have you ever tried to take one for the team? You had to take one for the team, but the girl, she ready, but she don't look good. Can they buy him out? And you're like, nah, sweetheart, you can keep that. I don't want that. Yeah, I don't want that. That's what this looks like, man. That's embarrassing.
Starting point is 01:03:57 Unfortunate. Can they buy him out? Buy who out? Kinect. Who gives a fuck about Kinect? I mean, he's... I mean, if he want to act like this... Oh, okay. Oh. If he want to act like this.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Oh, okay. If he want to act like this. Oh, so he was just playing just because he didn't have nobody. If he want to be in his feelings like that, if he wants to be in his feelings like that, I got this thing called the G League. The older. Okay. I got, there's a G League down there.
Starting point is 01:04:20 You can go down there and get all the time you want. Well, speaking of the G League, Gil. Right. Speaking of the G League. That's where you're going. Bronny was at the Lakers game for Lucas. You need some more time? Okay. In-street closed.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Unfortunate because he would have played the whole fourth quarter. Likely set a career high. Helped change the narrative. But Bronny continuing to shine in the G League. Delivered another dominant performance for the South Bay Lakers this weekend. Let's take a look at some highlights, please. So, Bronny finished with 28 points, 6 rebounds. Bingo. 28-6. He was 12-23 from the field. Three for nine for three. Oh, look at him. Look at him. Mighty company. Yo, just leave him there and let
Starting point is 01:04:56 him do that every game. Uh-oh. Wow. 55th pick doing all? Come back to the lead. 55th pick doing all this. Yep. Oh, that's bad. Look, there are, oh, I'm at the game. Yeah, we see Mr. B. Mr. B, you were in attendance. I was in attendance. I had to go, I had to come see it.
Starting point is 01:05:12 I told him I was coming. Show out for me. Gordon Brontavious Jr. Oh, whoa. So, man. So, let him do this for the rest of this season. And let's just check this out. Let's just check this out.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Bronny came in with us. I thought he heard us. The nice poster dunk landed awkwardly on his back, stayed on the ground for a few moments, but got up. Oh, boop. He played good, too, man. Said he was okay after the game. So just, you know, since we are a facts-based show,
Starting point is 01:05:37 in the five regular season G League games he's played in so far this season, Bronny averaging 23.5 rebounds, four assists, 2.2 steals per game, 43-39-79 shooting splits. Mr. B, you were sitting courtside at the South Bay Lakers game to support LeBron James Jr., also known as Bronny.
Starting point is 01:05:53 And my boy Quincy. And shout out Quincy Oliveri. He was doing his thing as well. A nice duo there in the G League for that South Bay Lakers squad.
Starting point is 01:06:00 How did Bronny look out there in your expert opinion? Played with a lot of confidence. He was getting played like he was more comfortable. But this is what this year is about for him, to be able to go down there and play and get the minutes and be able to do what he do.
Starting point is 01:06:14 So to me he looked good though. He looked good. But like Kenyon said, yeah, he should be down there a little bit more and being able to get more reps up. Most definitely. Kenyon, you previously said G League is a graveyard for most players. Obviously, Bronny in a different situation. Getting that contract.
Starting point is 01:06:29 There's a plan, right? The plan should be. He's been averaging 23 for how long now? He played five games averaging 23. So he should be. It should be that. Let him just stay there, man, and do that. Day in, day out.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Don't disrupt it. You need the reps. I know, but you don't think, like, just the end of the game experience? No, bad basketball. No, I mean on... Bad basketball at the end of the NBA games? It's just...
Starting point is 01:06:56 But you still... But just to get some reps? I mean, just to get that... But he's still a man. No, it's bad. Like he said, it's bad. That ain't good. But reps, though.
Starting point is 01:07:02 He getting more reps. What kind of reps? What I'm saying is those guys. So you tell them, so I'd rather him playing 40 minutes a night there than three minutes, two minutes, maybe get in, maybe don't. Waiting for a blowout. Waiting for a blowout. You know what I'm saying? It's whack.
Starting point is 01:07:18 Like, I want him averaging 40 minutes a night. I wouldn't have him missing games down there, but, you know, I would bring him up. Yeah, but the way they're doing it, he's going to miss some games. He's going to miss some games. He should be up for the Utah game. Just let him rock out. Just let him work.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Don't take him on the road. They're going to Utah tonight, right? Nothing like the last Leave him there. Leave him there. Let him rock. Real NBA player. Because he needs the reps.
Starting point is 01:07:38 Right? He needs the reps. He needs the... The plan should be for them. He's playing 40 minutes a night. Right? But you don't want to forget who he them, he's playing 40 minutes a night. But you don't want to forget who he is. He's playing 40 minutes a night.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Take all the shots you want to take, Bronny. There's no restrictions. There's no restrictions. Because this is what he would have been in college getting the same. So let him do that right now, right? So you're saying he goes down there and never bring them up? Summer league, bring them up for the playoffs. But then summer league is going to be worse than the G League.
Starting point is 01:08:06 But the first couple games. First couple games, let him go out, get them reps in, because he's only... The average in 23, the next level up, right, is the last three minutes. That group, the back end of the NBA, that is very different. Okay, the G League season is shorter.
Starting point is 01:08:24 You know what I mean? That is very different. So the G League season is shorter than the NBA season. So when their season is over, yeah, absolutely, yes. But until then, let him stay and let him do it, right? That's a big-ass adjustment. Even Bones Highland, I mean, think about it. Yeah, I bring up... Down there and Bones Highland,
Starting point is 01:08:41 who's sitting at the end of the bench, that's two different motherfucking players. Yeah, absolutely You know, you're gonna play 40 minutes tonight Well, you know, you don't want him to forget who he is He's NBA so didn't like you there's a ball. There's a plan It's a graveyard for a lot of them dudes. Yes that don't the team don't have a plan. It's a graveyard for a lot of them dudes, yes, that don't, the team don't have a plan.
Starting point is 01:09:08 He has an NBA contract. He doesn't have a two-way contract. He has an NBA contract. He's not gonna get lost. You can get lost just being in the league, too, though, on the bench. Just being... I'd never be on the bench. I'm saying you should be able to bring him up, too. Like, if you bring him up, if he not playing, you bring him up, he not playing.
Starting point is 01:09:26 He just another one of the guys not in the rotation. But he can't be playing down there. But instead of being welcoming, this embracing this end of the bench role, which should never, like, it's not a thing that all of us never embrace. We competitors. We try not to get in that position. Yeah, yeah. So to be labeled like, this is where you going to be.
Starting point is 01:09:43 This is as far as you going to go. Come on, like, nah, man, let me get my that position. Yeah. So to be labeled like, this is where you going to be, this is as far as you going to go, come on, like, nah, man, let me get my talent up, let me get my value up down there. I know, but those last minutes could help him, though. Those last minutes will help him get in the beginning.
Starting point is 01:09:56 I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. Like, that shows different. Or if you ball it in practice. Our shit was different
Starting point is 01:10:04 because we didn't have a G League like that. We didn't have a G-League like that. Even if you practiced it. We didn't have an alternative. We had to work differently. Oh, yeah. We had to work differently. It wasn't the same, though.
Starting point is 01:10:10 It was not the same. So, Nick, yes, but let his season end. D-League. Let his season end. They come March, April, let him come. So when's the G-League season over? Let me double check. The winter day finals or winter day.
Starting point is 01:10:24 I don't know about every, just keep him down there. So what about when they don't have games? Like down there, like, and then like he can move up? Okay. But you're just saying he should miss no, no, don't miss no G League games. Don't miss no G League games. Yeah, yeah. Playoff start and later on finals are early. So then they got
Starting point is 01:10:39 but I'm saying, so let's, so what Brandon just said, right? Yeah. Don't let him miss, bring him up, yeah just said right? Yeah, that's what don't let him miss bring him up Yeah, okay cool on the days that he don't have them games right don't disrupt his G League season Yeah, that's let him play all of those games. I'm gonna play 40 minutes tonight. He's gonna get these shots He's gonna like all of these things cuz there's a plan for him for the future Yeah, we'll grooming you to be an NBA player to be have your confidence work on this shit. We're gonna Train him as he is there like his training regimen might be different from the rest of the guys
Starting point is 01:11:12 Because you're training them for that But yeah, don't like let him get the rest. He need him. Yeah, he needs I agree with that constantly be Like okay, I'm the man. I, I know that, right? I agree with that 100%. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't just... Did he make the G League All-Star game? Of course. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:11:31 I mean, he's averaging... What is he averaging? 23? 23. I'm sure he did. 23, 5, and 4. Yeah, I'm sure. So let's move on to cemetery.
Starting point is 01:11:37 Larry, previously you said Brian would have been better off staying in college, right, to get more experience, development. I think, Kenny, you agree with that statement as well. So how do you think these numbers would compare to college? And basically the point I'm trying to ask is,
Starting point is 01:11:49 what do you think that South Bay Lakers squad, if you put that squad in college, would that be the number one team in the country? I haven't seen them play, so I can't tell you that. I don't know who they have. Some of them dudes old. Some of them dudes 30. Yeah, so grown-ass men.
Starting point is 01:12:05 Playing against college kids, so what are you asking? So basically, there's a point I'm saying that Bronny playing in the G League, how would these numbers compare to college? I think numbers would be lower just because, you know, college systems. It depends on where he went to school at. It all depends on where he went to school at. If he went to a school that was dead
Starting point is 01:12:22 and somebody gave him the rings, listen, go BU, let... There's no restrictions. You can shoot all the shots you want to shoot. There's... Then there's a different story. If he's going to play in the system, he's going to play an average somewhere we average in 14, but he can prove that he can play. Right? You prove that you're this, you're that, you're playing with this system, you're shooting a high clip from three, mid-range,
Starting point is 01:12:43 you're doing all these things, then yeah, you can average 12 and be a fucking lottery pick. So that's... I feel like if Ronnie would have been playing like this, he would have been the number one pick. Shut up, Nick. But I promise you, if he would have been playing like this... Listen, I said the same thing. He would be a number one pick.
Starting point is 01:13:00 Top five? No, no, no. Top five? That's basically my point. Listen, but they could be top five. Doing this in the G League for his sophomore year in college more or less. Top ten. Is he playing like this because of the competition level, though? The competition is better here than in college.
Starting point is 01:13:14 No, no, no. That's what I'm saying. It's the best I ever seen. It's the G League competition higher than the college. So I don't like that because he's playing to the level of his college. He would be playing better. You know what? The G League is his peers. GDN against his peers. No, it's not. I don't like that because he's playing to the level of his college and better League is his peers
Starting point is 01:13:33 He playing against you know, he better do this he see playing against dudes He know he better than if he told he would be better better in college. Yes, right I wrote his own week now you have to perform because he's playing his guys. He know he better than what? Like that's the whole point of being a man He's a fat now. He would be if he was in college. He would be better than. That's the whole point of being a vet. He's a vet now? He would be if he was in college. He would be a vet. He would be considered a vet.
Starting point is 01:13:53 A guy that's about to go to the league after his, what, second, third? This would be his third year? This would be his second year. Second year. This would be his sophomore season in college. Hell yeah. But would you say the G League competition is, basically the point I'm getting at, is G League competition higher than the college?
Starting point is 01:14:03 Hell yeah. So if he's doing this in G League, he would be destroying it in college. And what month is this? Black History Month. We're leading into what month? Think about that. March Madness.
Starting point is 01:14:16 I'm laughing at this fool. He's the dude in high school. So think about it. He's going into March Madness after he's 23. If people did this in high school, he would have been... But that's that's like oh, but he wasn't He's playing better because of the competition in college. He wouldn't be like this and then even if he be playing worse you saying
Starting point is 01:14:34 He's playing better because he's been around. Yeah. Yeah, cuz he's around pros. We have he would be playing worse in colleges I think he would just be yeah. Yeah, I think I don't think it helped I don't think it helps this right here. He has to play every night Ronnie. It's on you like cop Yeah You're not baiting me into this guy Nick how many you averaging college? 18 18, but if you so we pick he's not what was the next person? I'm saying what was the next person? Somebody else around. So if he averaged that, you had Taj.
Starting point is 01:15:07 So if you 16, 17, 18, multiple guys are doing multiple things in college, you can average that to get drafted. You don't have to average 23, 24 to get drafted, right? So that's equivalent. You doing that multiple guys and you playing within the system and you still getting those numbers in college. 15 a game. It's great. There's guys that average single digits.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Proving. You're proving to get 15 a night. Cool, he's averaging 23. 23, right. He's proving. I'll take that. Yeah, me too. Especially coming from a 50-50 pick that everyone said he shouldn't have been there.
Starting point is 01:15:39 Yeah, I think, yeah. So, therefore, don't disrupt it. That 23 could be more. 40 minutes a night. It's harder to score in college. Shoot that bitch, young fella. It's harder to score in college. In the space.
Starting point is 01:15:55 I just went to his game. Did you say it's harder to score in college? So if you can score in college, does that make you a better scorer? No. No. It don't? No, actually. It doesn't add attributes to your game so you can actually break down a zone? No, because the college zone ain't the same as the NBA.
Starting point is 01:16:11 It doesn't matter. It's a zone. It's a different defense. But I've learned as a scorer I can break down all the defenses. So I can just sit in the corner. In college, he's a shooting guard, so he can just sit in the corner, get these shots, people passing it. In the NBA, he has to create his own shots
Starting point is 01:16:25 And we've seen we didn't see someone passing the ball Right you saying they don't roll so you say they don't run zone in NBA Cuz they ran zone last night not every time you time. Okay, I'm playing against it was playing zone last night They play games. Oh, yeah, I'm gonna video. I want to see him play zone. Can we see some brownie highlights again, please? Oh my god, appreciate you guard. Oh, yeah Yeah, we see some brownie highlights again, please Appreciate you guard Wop wop wop wop wop as we say Switch yeah, I just wanted to be
Starting point is 01:17:05 All in college like that. Nope. Can't do that in college. Yeah, they play a 2-3 zone right there. That was not a 2-3 zone. That was a 2-3 zone. That was a sag. That's a 2-3 zone, too. That's a sag. That's a zone you can do in college. That's a sag.
Starting point is 01:17:11 Two possessions a zone. But look, look at his cup. Look, he going after another home man. Yeah. Like I said, if you went to school somewhere, if you went to... All American. Right, and be... All-American. Right. And be... No restrictions.
Starting point is 01:17:26 All-American. So I'm saying the coach telling the same thing that they're telling them in the G League, right? Go get it. Go do you. Go get it.
Starting point is 01:17:33 And the point I was really trying to make, we feel like G League competition is a higher level of competition. Coaches don't do that in college. Yes.
Starting point is 01:17:40 Older guys, guys fighting for their basketball lives. It is professional basketball. So, yes. Okay, so. It's a lower level professional basketball, but it is professional basketball. So, to your question, Josiah, yes.
Starting point is 01:17:53 You said semi-pro? Semi-pro. Yes, still pro. But you got guys like Quincy Oliverian there. Like the minor leagues. It's supposed to be a farm system. Like a minor league. Right? That's. It's supposed to be a farm system. Like a minor league. Right? That's what it's supposed to be.
Starting point is 01:18:07 You think you should be a cutoff age or no? Absolutely. Oh, you can't be? Absolutely. Because let's be honest. Let's really be honest. After a certain age, you're not getting in. I can play for the Kuka-Maga card.
Starting point is 01:18:24 You might get a call up at the end of season attend a But I say some people do Like like I just said that's what's a attend a Three years you just say us overseas make a living Like you know guys coming in to help you come back. No, that's the thing. But you see guys like Norris Cole, Isaiah Thomas, like, you know, guys coming in to help. Oh, yeah, come back. But come back to even help develop the young guys. If you start there, you're there,
Starting point is 01:18:51 and it's been six years. It's a wrap, man. Unfortunately, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, man. Get the overseas money. Get ready to learn. It's bad because you're only making $40,000. Yeah, I'm not playing in the G League, man. And then you're teaching PE.
Starting point is 01:19:06 I'm going to get that 40,000 somewhere else, tax-free. I made the G League. I'm going to get that money somewhere tax-free somewhere else. Overseas. In a different country. So over there, I'm learning a different language. Rosetta Stone. It could be the same 40, but you ain't taxed on it, right?
Starting point is 01:19:25 You can get, hey, give me the 40, bro. I don't need 32. All right, well, let's keep the thing moving. I need that eight. Man, that eight go a long way when you only making 40, bro. Let's keep this thing moving. I'm just saying, dog. Shift it over to the Eastern Conference now.
Starting point is 01:19:41 I don't know if I'm making 40 in China or living there. In the G League? Yeah. You living G League? Yeah. You living for free? What else you doing? Courtyard Marriott. I'm not giving you 40 in China. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:19:52 You made the G League, so why even... Yeah, for one thing, you're going to definitely get more than that. That's what I'm saying. I'm going to make a highlight reel of you trying to... Do his job? Yeah. I'm going to make a highlight reel.
Starting point is 01:20:00 I tried, Sean. I hear them laughing at the fact that he can't do it. They're betting back there, like, watch, he's not going to be able to do it. Watch. They are. You know, I got a lot of hands here for him. Josiah needs to be on the Pick'em's on the dog. Some among us.
Starting point is 01:20:13 For real. How many times do y'all interrupt me, higher or lower? Yeah, absolutely. But nonetheless, I still persist, which is why, if you're looking for a host for birthday parties, weddings, funerals, whatever you need, I will be available in the near future. No, I'm just kidding. Let's move it over to the Eastern Conference. Jason Tatum led the Celtics with 33 points, including a 20-point third quarter and a win over the Heat on Monday.
Starting point is 01:20:33 But let's revisit a big game the Celtics won over the weekend. Knicks hosted the Celtics Saturday in a matchup of Eastern Conference elites. The GOAT. And let's see what it looked like. The real GOAT. Unfortunately for Knicks fans, Celtics took a big lead early. The face of the NBA. Held on to it for most of the game.
Starting point is 01:20:52 The Knicks were without OG Ananobi. Celtics were without Drew Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis for this one. But all-star starter Jason Tatum led the way for Boston with 40 points, shooting 13 for 26 from the field, 7 for 14 from 3. Tatum said after the game, he saw Denzel Washington try to put on a show. And that he did with his second 40th season. You know you
Starting point is 01:21:13 see Denzel Washington at the game. You got to do something. Hey now. Hey now. You mother fucker. Tatum said, I'm leaving with something. What now? Oh, the face. Payton Pritchard had 25 points off the bench as he continued to play What? European moving like that? Tatum said, I'm leaving with something. What now? Whoa, now. Oh, the face.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Peyton Pritchard had 25 points off the bench as he continued to play like the sixth man of the year. Jalen Brown, 12 points, five assists, three rebounds. And Jalen Brunson had 36 for the Knicks, but nobody else was able to get it going for them offensively. Celtics have won six of their last seven games. In his last six games, Tatum's averaging 29 points, six assists, six rebounds, 48, 43, 79 shooting
Starting point is 01:21:47 assists. I'm going to see the screen. Is that how much? 29? Yeah, 29. 29, six and five. Or six and six, excuse me. Hold up. That brings me to my question. Brandon, do you like what you've seen from Jason Tatum lately? Yeah, man. It's regular season.
Starting point is 01:22:02 That's the season that we are in. Don't do that. No, I mean, it's a regular season. This is good. Five out of six. Averaging 29. About what he really averaged. That's a hand live, man. All right. Face of the NBA right there. Huh? Face. Yes.
Starting point is 01:22:16 Let that man live. Of the American NBA? He's trying. Or the global NBA? He's trying. I mean, he has clean cut. Everything. He can't speak English.
Starting point is 01:22:24 Everything. He got that speak English. Everything. He got that. He got the number. Can he speak multiple languages? Yes. He did go to Duke. Mmm. Let him know.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Mmm. Got your man sending screams for him. Pick and roll, Braille. Move around after the shit. Huh? Pick and roll. Hey, big man, come here. Hey, foreman, come set the screen for me. That's what Brown doing? Hey, Brown, come here. Hey, four man, come set the screen for me.
Starting point is 01:22:46 Hey, Brown, come here. What's Brown doing? Move around, Brown. Hey, Brown, go that way. No, you. You. Who's my show now? You had your turn.
Starting point is 01:22:58 Oh, no, his turn is coming in May and June. You know, Brown's just chilling right now. So, Brandon, I'm concerned with Jason Tatum's solid plans of late? David for the playoffs? 29. He averaging 29. To be honest with you, he averaging 40. Oh, that thing?
Starting point is 01:23:14 In a month. But they ain't last, of course. Who ain't last? They're not in last. They ain't last. My man hurt right now. He in the AR. Bucks are fifth in the East right now. Yeah, we in trouble right now. I don't want to talk about it, but not yeah
Starting point is 01:23:28 Yeah, go ahead So you said Josh Hart Whatever the nigga Oh G defender heart Bridges defender five defenders couldn't stop him. That was three. I don't know the other motherfuckers on their team. That's why.
Starting point is 01:23:48 That's the only people I know. But I know they got a team full of defenders. He fucked me up. You said five, and you only named three. And the only thing. They got a team full of defenders. Can I ask you the highlight one more time? Can we see Jason Tatum highlights one more game?
Starting point is 01:24:01 The only thing that scared me is that Nick's supposed to be good. Pause, pause. Y'all was at full staff. Two to fit. Okay. Knicks was at full staff. All right. Gil, what do you want to point out?
Starting point is 01:24:10 Knicks was at full staff. They was, right? OG and the Nobby's full. The Knicks don't look like they going to the finals doing this. My bad. I'm a Knicks fan. 250. Steve.
Starting point is 01:24:19 250. 250 is just a fact. He get paid a lot of money. Man, God. Big part of our team. Who, Ozie? No, not at all. Who's that with the braids?
Starting point is 01:24:30 Never. That ain't dunked on. That's Drake. That's Drake. He's a defender, right? What's his name? He is a defender. Whoa. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:24:38 Wait. What is it, the braids? No, no. Oh, my bad. Wait, hold on. This is the start of the game. Oh, zero, zero. Oh, this is the first two points of the game. This is like the...
Starting point is 01:24:47 Oh, yeah, the game was over when he did that. Off to a good start. Yeah. Step on him. Step on him. First... Look what he do when he first play the game. Step on him.
Starting point is 01:24:55 Punch him in the mouth. I mean, I'm surprised he... I ain't never seen him act like this. Oh, ain't nothing like setting the tone like this. Yeah, punch him in the mouth right away. Oh, this is gonna be a long night. Yeah, first day. First play of the game, punch him in the mouth.
Starting point is 01:25:03 Yo, what are you noticing? Because we're frozen in the screen. About time he started punching somebody in the face. What are you observing? They watching the show, man. They got to listen. There's something that you see that. Challenge accepted. That's what you tell them.
Starting point is 01:25:13 You got to say stuff like that. You got to. Yeah. Yeah. Obviously, challenge accepted. Let me go to the next one. I just. This is the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:25:20 I like to see Duke get dunked on. Fuck off. He about to say something about Jalen Brown being in the house. Where's he at? Is he a corpse? No, no. He's to say something about Jalen Brown being in the... Where's he at? Is he a cork? No, no, he's all shit. His man left him. Shastra Davis. He blended in over those...
Starting point is 01:25:31 Shastra Davis. He was sitting over here lining it up, how to play it. He's just trying to figure out how to play it. Jalen Brown over there at the corner. Not yet, not yet, not yet. We can't do that to Jalen Brown. Fuckin' up in the back. I know his man left him like that.
Starting point is 01:25:48 What you mean? His man isn't hurt. Ooh! And he was late. Oh, from Bridget's. That was nasty, though. You got two on him right there. He got it. Where is it? Too much Chipotle.
Starting point is 01:26:04 Yeah, baby Pole a okay. Where's he got Brunson on me? You know the number Brunson? Nope Another defender Told you five defenders. Who is that? This ain't when Jalen Brown play anyway, you know, man, you know what time it is. Oh, he's not see he got up He got a guard. He got a bar everybody. You got a guard the best player on every team. You know that right? Boop I mean this thing I mean look at the head. I mean this
Starting point is 01:26:43 I mean this ain't Milwaukee. I mean, this ain't Milwaukee. Let's go! This ain't Milwaukee. That's his Knicks. New York is higher than us. Gil, you asked us to pull a video for you. Would you like to? We've seen the point. You don't want to see the other video?
Starting point is 01:26:58 No, we've seen the point. We've seen where the offense goes through. So if anybody else did get the ball, get the ball from somebody else. Would you just let the audience know what video you asked for? No, no, no. The offense does go through him. Yeah, we always said that.
Starting point is 01:27:12 So that's why we're trying to figure out if the offense is go through you. And I swing it, and it gets to you, and you score. How are you the best player on the team? It's ah-ah. And it gets to you, and you scored 20-something. I just told you the highlights of him having 40 and 44 and all that. Are you scoring 20 on your own? Are you doing that for me to get easy, or am I doing it for you to get easy?
Starting point is 01:27:35 That's the difference. I mean, or am I playing both ends to make it easy on you? Because I got to guard the best player and come down and score the best player. He needs the team in steals if we're really talking. I mean, yeah. Well, I mean, that's cool. Yeah, play the pass lane. Sit there and play the pass lane.
Starting point is 01:27:47 That's fine. Who's the best player on New York? You ain't doing this, though. Ball pressure. You ain't doing this. Ball pressure. Ball pressure. Let me guard Luke.
Starting point is 01:27:55 Who's the best player? Let me guard Luke. Who's the best player on New York? We ain't about to break the team up. No, no, no. You ain't doing that shit to my Boston. No, no. Your Boston?
Starting point is 01:28:05 Are you a Laker fan or not? What the hell is going on? That's why his ass got cracked. That's why his ass got cracked in the finals. When that Kobe 8 man. What are you doing? Who was the best player for New York? Taylor Brunson.
Starting point is 01:28:18 Got cracked. How much he had? 36. Because I know Brunson was guarding him a little bit. He did have 36 points. The holiday had him, though. He didn't play. He didn't play.
Starting point is 01:28:28 Drew Holiday didn't play. He didn't play. I just know when we can start talking about basketball. I mean, May and June coming, so we know who's going to be guarding 94. You don't want that in the video. Those are calendar months. You're right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:39 Mm-hmm. May and June is coming. It comes every year. Oh, yeah. This the one, though, right here. I'm going to find him another. You got to find him another. And in those months, I guarantee that Jason Tatum still will be leading the Boston Celtics in points,
Starting point is 01:28:53 rebounds, assists, and fucking everything else. He's taking all three home now. Out of his control. You know what's so funny? It's out of his control once again. Points, rebounds, assists. Oh, no, it's in your control. No, the people who voted. Out of his control.
Starting point is 01:29:08 Like thinking about the people who voted and he was pushing the narrative, right? See that. Y'all remember the narrative last year, right? It is out of his control. The narrative. Now, let's watch how this narrative look when they got to pick players. TNT just did their all-star picking. They did.
Starting point is 01:29:24 They did their all-star picking. Guys did. They did their all-star picking. Guys who was pushing the narrative on who's number one and number two. Now let's go look at their picks. What are you thinking here as you start the final round? So these are the last three people. We have Jalen Brown, Donovan Mitchell, and Tyler Hero. I'm just wondering how these guys fit into your plan for what you wanted. Can I have my pick first?
Starting point is 01:29:45 I'm trying to set the stage. Yeah, because I'm trying to figure out there's no international. I got a pick. Hold on one second. Do you know who you're going to pick? Wait, hold on. So this is the finals MVP and the Eastern Conference finals MVP right here with these other people.
Starting point is 01:30:00 Okay, now you just play. I just wanted to make sure. I mean, I've seen Russell Russell get picked last too. So, I mean, what's the difference? No, no, that's my players plan. I mean not by this I mean this is up. These are people who voted. I mean, these are people who voted so let's go see Chuck. Not by players Jalen Brown Tyler here will remain. Okay So two people this day to you, right? Yeah, so two people screamed out Tyler hero Just like you're taking jail in breast German wanted Jalen Brown. He's laughing. Zach wanted Jalen Brown. Okay, I guess they wanted him. Well, if he wanted him, he could have been picked.
Starting point is 01:30:46 He ain't doing it. Yeah, he's awful. There was a little thing that I just need to hear. He picked his team, man. 28. Nobody's too old to be playing hard. Do the last. It's like the last year. Do the last year.
Starting point is 01:30:56 They said everybody stay in your team. Say who you want to allow. What are you thinking here as you start the final round? Okay, so we have Jalen Brown, Donovan Mitchell, and Tyler Hero. I'm just wondering how these guys fit into your plan for what you wanted. Can I have my pick first? I'm trying to set the stage. Yeah, because I'm trying to figure out there's no more international.
Starting point is 01:31:18 Hold on one second. Do you know who you're going to pick out of these three? Do you know who you're going to pick out? Hold on. Don't tell me. I know who I want. Let him say it all out. On the count of three, I want you to all say them at the same time.
Starting point is 01:31:30 One, two, three. Donovan Mitchell. Hero. Donovan Mitchell. Tyler Hero. Tyler Hero. I want Tyler Hero. I'm giving you Donovan Mitchell.
Starting point is 01:31:39 Because his mom is from Panama. No, because he said it before that, too. I know. Shaq said it before that, too. No. Because we know who you're going to know. Shaq said it before that. He said he won. No. I mean, he was wild. Because we know who he's going to pick.
Starting point is 01:31:48 Shaq said Kyle Harrell. So what's the difference? Nothing. The number one option, the number one team, he lost. So what's the difference? Actually, well. I mean, what's the difference? He picked his teammate.
Starting point is 01:31:57 Shaq picked his teammate. At the end of the day, that don't mean nothing. I mean, we're talking about an all-star game. No, no, no. Hold on. We're talking about an all-star game. No, what we're saying is where you two narratives is coming from, these are the guys you was pushing. I mean, my narrative talking about an all-star game. No, no, no. Hold on. We're talking about an all-star game. No, what we're saying is where you two narratives is coming from, these are the guys you was
Starting point is 01:32:07 pushing. I mean, my narrative is pushing from last year. Your man sat down in the Olympics. Your man didn't get the shit that he wanted, so let it go. We'll just see this year. It's okay. Thank you. It's okay that you're mad.
Starting point is 01:32:18 So what? Scottie Pippen got the finals MVP. Michael Jordan go sit your ass down. That's what happened. Get it next year. Shit. The fuck, man? Move around, let's see what happens this year. Yeah, okay. That's all we can get. We're gonna stick with this narrative and tell your man, the man that you love so much, put it up. Thank you. Until then we don't care. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:32:35 Until then we don't care. The narrative is the narrative. We saw what happened. Yes, change the narrative. Go get all three like your teammates since your teammate ain't shit. Thank you. And Jalen Brown since you teammates, since your teammate ain't shit. Thank you. And Jalen Brown, since he ain't shit, don't be shit. Let your man get it this year. Have that same energy. Have that same energy.
Starting point is 01:32:52 Because you might not even get there. Hey Brandon, man, listen, I don't like the way you talk. You don't need to make the All-NBA. Go get a Finals MVP. Be a winner. Go be a winner. Don't do fucking both ends. Ouch. All this shit. All this scoring shit. He let the... All this scoring shit. All this scoring shit. Go play both ends.

Starting point is 01:33:35 I'm just talking. So you said he picked up 94 feet. Yeah, he was. Guarding which play? Luca. So during that same pick up 94 feet, playing defense that y'all said that he played, right? Josiah, can you do me a favor?
Starting point is 01:33:50 Or Steve, one of you fine gentlemen to have a computer? Yep. Because I didn't bring my eyes to see right now. How many points did Luka Doncic average in the NBA Finals last year? I know what you're going to ask. Okay. That's fine. 29 points.
Starting point is 01:34:03 That's fine. And go to the fair again. 29 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists. What did he shoot from the field? Let Josiah answer my question, please. 29 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists. Shod, you want to know what he shot from the field? He was 47% from the field, 24%.
Starting point is 01:34:16 Okay, cool. And then what did he average in the regular season? Huh? So, no, but you're not— The numbers are down. The numbers are down. That's all I know. The numbers are down.

Starting point is 01:34:32 38%. So, we're talking about one series. Bro, he went from 38 to 29. We're talking about six games versus a whole. So, y'all, no. We're not going to do that. Well... We're not going to do that.
Starting point is 01:34:40 Okay, well, don't let... We're not going to do that. Like Michael Jordan... So, you bought... So, defense... So, your guy played defense. My guy played both ends. No you your guy played these play both He did right Got average well 29 on this said defense for him. Oh, he buddy averaged 30
Starting point is 01:35:01 For the season that's on multiple people everybody. Yes. Yeah, so we're talking about your guy. Yeah, he stopped them. He stopped them from his average. Your guy. He brought them down. Cool. Shooter percentage from 38 to 29 from three. Majority of your shots were threes.
Starting point is 01:35:15 I ain't never heard of it. Majority of your shots were threes. Over 60% of your shots were threes, and you went from 38 to 29. His impact was better. I stopped you, bro. I stopped you. His impact was better. Average of 29, you took it to 29. I stopped you, bro. I stopped you. I stopped you.
Starting point is 01:35:26 Your percentages. Your percentages. You went from 38% from 3 to 29. I stopped you. And yeah, you fouled out all that type of shit. So I was stealing the ball from you. All kinds of shit. And then before that, I got it in the Eastern.
Starting point is 01:35:44 So I'm still here. What's up? I was right here. So scores, Brandon and Rashad have a question. He's just showing out. He's just showing out. But that's like saying, you got the best player on the team.
Starting point is 01:35:55 No, it's not. It's saying that when you're not in time to show out, show out, bro. Prove it. When it's time to show up for the Big Def Curry, then win the title. We got four scores on the team. But he had an MVP that year, though. He got an MVP that year though. All right, so we got an MVP that year
Starting point is 01:36:07 So we got one get one something. Oh, you're gonna be the face get a finals MVP get up Get something This about doing this right here they crowned you you said he's the face of the league well Go get an MVP never all those finals never won the finals in a piece. To his last win. But Steph Curry won a back-to-back MVP. So I have a question for you. Let's go.
Starting point is 01:36:29 I have a question for you. Back-to-back. Hold up. What does it say? I got a question for you. Oh, I erased it. Oh, no. You can write that.
Starting point is 01:36:35 But I got a question for you. But he winning got KD. So Brandon, would you classify yourself as a decent scorer or a scorer? Yeah. Nick, would you classify yourself? Gil. Yep.
Starting point is 01:36:43 Are you a decent scorer or a scorer? Yep. Rashad, are you? Stop it? What's all you stop being to stop the bullshit? Right can take them serious Stop the bullshit. I'm good, right? Yeah So do not hit if somebody lined up in front of you right up to every time you saw this defender and you average 29 against this guy. What would you say? I'm sure first question first. I'm going around the crap. No, no first question every time I seen this guy, what would you say? I'm a shithead. First question. I'm going around the crap.
Starting point is 01:37:05 No, no. First question. Every time I see this guy, I average 29. And my average is 35. No, no, no. This particular player. So now you're bringing this shit to the table. It's going to be a tough night.
Starting point is 01:37:15 I got players I know it's going to be a tough night. You know, you average 29 against this guy. What's your thought process? I'm going to have another 29 or 30. You cooking him? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Same question to you? And I want my average. No, you know, you're going to get 30. You cooking it? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Same question to you?
Starting point is 01:37:25 Uh, and I want my average. No, you know you gonna get it. You seeing it. Every time you see this guy, you average 29. It depends on how I get it. Night in, night out, it's gonna be 29. If I know it's gonna be a ton. No, I didn't ask you that.
Starting point is 01:37:36 Did you know... One guy, you know, listen, this motherfucker's shit. But, K, you leaving out the major content of how you get it. You're saying we can't say how we get it Yeah, because if I'm going to free throw the whole night and I ain't hitting on you, but that ain't mean and I'm cooking you Yeah, no, we don't got a foul. I mean we wouldn't you found me. I'm not No, this guy bailing you out this guy. I'm not fouling you know
Starting point is 01:38:01 No, say you're but this put if I'm seeing a me as a different I look at myself as a defender right and got his what 60 and all that I was all Different I'm talking about one guy we talking about 30. We're talking about one particular guy you get 30 I look at me right if I'm defending you shot every time I see you and you're averaging 29 against me You bus in my every time I see you and you're averaging 29 against me, you bussin' my ass. No you not. Not if you get all the shots. If you're Allen Iverson, if you're Allen Iverson for Philly
Starting point is 01:38:32 and we showin' up to play AI, bro, he's gonna get 30. Yeah, you're gonna get that. It's how I make him get that 30 tonight. He gonna get 30. It's what he, he get more shots than everybody. So was AI bussin' Ty Lue ass up in the finals? Yes. What?
Starting point is 01:38:48 What'd he shoot? Was he the main defender on him? So what? Yes or no? Was he the main defender on him? I don't know. What's the number? My question is.
Starting point is 01:38:58 So y'all didn't answer my question. So y'all still didn't answer. Would you like to know what Allen Iverson averaged in that finals? Please tell him. Because the narrative is what? He was getting stopped. Chuck percentage is always low.
Starting point is 01:39:12 He had good games. He shot high percentages. In the 2001 NBA finals, Allen Iverson averaged 36.6 rebounds of four assists. What is the narrative? He didn't. He didn't. I don't remember. They are walking over Tyron Lewis. I don't remember. I don't remember.
Starting point is 01:39:27 They are walking over Tyra Lewis. I've never heard nobody say, dude, lock him up. 41? Nasty. He's always going to be that. Fuck what y'all was thinking. Because he takes a lot of shots.
Starting point is 01:39:39 So, what we're talking about with Jalen Brown, if you go from Luka, 34 games, shooting this many times, to 29, shooting this many times. He busting his ass. To 29 shooting this many times. Bro, I've stopped you. You went from 38% from the three. When you shoot 40 from three. And 47 from two.
Starting point is 01:39:55 When you shoot 40 and you go down below 30, bro, that's embarrassing. Hey, who is Jason? It's embarrassing. Who is Jason Tatum guarding? It's embarrassing. P.J. Washington. Who is Jason Tatum guarding? It's embarrassing. He's in Washington. Who is Jason Tatum guarding?
Starting point is 01:40:07 So you bust it. So you have a 29 against somebody. Who is Jason Tatum guarding? It's how you do it. Well, it sounds good. You don't know. Oh. You had to shoot.
Starting point is 01:40:15 You tell me. So nobody knows who Jason Tatum was guarding to know if he was playing defense or not. No, I just know who Jalen Brown was. He was guarding the best player. I'm saying if you say. He was guarding the best player on the court. Who was Tatum guarding? Did he stop his man, or did his man score on him? What is his man average during regular season?
Starting point is 01:40:34 His man is not Luka Donovan. Right, that's the whole point. Whatever you're getting at. No, it's not. Whatever you're getting at. A stop is, you go guard the best player. It don't even matter. Y'all don't know he was guarding.
Starting point is 01:40:45 He was trying to wiggle his ass out. Y'all know he was guarding. He was guarding that body bag. You know he was guarding the center, right? Get back in there. You know what we need to do? Y'all know he was guarding the center, right? Like, y'all, so we can put this shit to bed.
Starting point is 01:40:55 Y'all know what we need to do? Is go watch all the games together. Oh, we can just watch. We don't need to do that. I just, look, I just. The trophies stay at all. They don't want to watch that. Who got the trophies?
Starting point is 01:41:05 They don't want to watch that. Who got the trophies. Who got the trophies? Who got the trophies? Who got the trophies? We can't play it back. The argument is, who got the trophies? I watched it in real time. Who got the trophies? I don't need to watch it. We watched it.
Starting point is 01:41:16 Who got the trophies? We watched it. We was there. And guess what? It doesn't change. He gets to keep his trophies at the end of it. The legacy. The legacy.
Starting point is 01:41:23 You get cool. You get to keep your trophies. Just watch the game the legacy Cool you get this. He's watching your boy legacy Winning the finals against my door that wouldn't have been Michael Jordan's fault If you're gonna be if you're to be the best player to dominate, you're taking that shit home. He wasn't dominating. He's seen this before, though. Like, even this, Kenyon,
Starting point is 01:41:51 the idea of what they're talking about and the idea of what Iguodala did, right? Yes. The idea of it is the irritating part. Yes.
Starting point is 01:42:04 Right? That he didn't deserve it, really, right? No, what I'm saying is the irritating part. Yes. Right? That he didn't deserve it, really, right? No, what I'm saying is... The irritating part that Andre Iguodala didn't deserve. No. Taking over that game and winning the MVP for that game. Go ahead, Gil. Gil, make your point.
Starting point is 01:42:14 But Iggy did lock up LeBron if we're keeping it real. Y'all don't fucking stop that shit. Okay. What, only averaged 36, can you? I'm just saying... We back for it. The idea of this. A star player averaging 30
Starting point is 01:42:29 and y'all hold them to 29. And then somebody who averages 5 averages 10 and that's something. We're giving awards out because you played better than you usually play?
Starting point is 01:42:47 Yeah. Like, you went from seven to 12 and you get an award? Like, you're still not the guy who's pulling in the weight. I don't like that idea. What was the margin of victory for the game? Like, think about what I'm saying. For finals? Like, you're carrying the load and a dude go from averaging five to averaging ten and
Starting point is 01:43:08 In the world of the game your impact is a lot better Yeah, because did you play better than what we expected? No, you're playing better than what we expected Expected no, what you talking? Jalen? Wow, I'm thinking about what I'm saying. So numbers are playing a little better again. Don't worry attention to the plus minus That's nasty. So you want to know the no I would say margin of Finals brow impact was bigger. That's cool. Are you watching the game? Yes the people who watched it? Well, he did the loop. I mean, listen, it's more than just.
Starting point is 01:43:46 When they don't agree, we don't agree. When people don't agree, they just don't agree. What I'm saying is. When people don't agree. What I'm saying is they're getting. Shit. Duck a little. Thank you for acknowledging.
Starting point is 01:43:56 He did his job, but. Yeah, that's it. There's a guy who led it in every category, and we're saying you played better than we expected. That is not a... How is that... That's not real. How is it not real? Think about it.
Starting point is 01:44:09 We expect you to average two, and then you average 10. He'd be like, yeah, MVP. He'd be like, wait, hold on. So shout out to your question, margin of victory. Celtics won game one by 18 points, won game two by seven points,
Starting point is 01:44:24 won game three by seven points, won game two by seven points, won game three by seven points, lost game four by 38. Goddamn. What was the average though? The average margin of victory? For the Celtics? For the series? For the Celtics?
Starting point is 01:44:34 It should be like 10 points maybe. So that five points that go from 34. So it's all on him? No, it's not. But it's a major part of their offense. I'm glad you said that. Major part of their offense is what? I thought you were going to say that's all on him.
Starting point is 01:44:52 Okay, so Luka, from the 12 that he's guaranteed to get, take five from that. No, I think it's a 12-point differential. Let me see. Everybody else on the team got to make up for what Brown is taking away from your main score. He's taking away five points, and he's doing it from the three-point line where he can take off.
Starting point is 01:45:11 That's where his momentum is. That's how he gets started. Take that away from him as the best defender. Kyrie is the one who got shut down. So we're really putting the content. So how many threes a night during the regular season did Lucas shoot? Didn't Kyrie be the one who got shut down? Since we're looking up numbers, so let's really dive into it, right? How many threes a night did Lucas shoot during the regular season?
Starting point is 01:45:33 They were trying to give it to Holiday. 11. 11 threes a game. They were trying to get a finals MVP to Holiday until he had that one game where he didn't score that much. And we're talking about Holiday shooting. He did. 11, he had nine. Nine.
Starting point is 01:45:46 Locking that shit up. Locking that shit up. And then he shot a less percent. So he shot two and less shots. Locking that shit up. That's locking that shit down. He just throwing that thing. So that's two for nine.
Starting point is 01:45:55 He's shooting two for nine. So if I'm watching this game, oh, this motherfucker right here, he's two for nine. Every night. So the game made down. So let's put it in context, right? So some of them games weren't close, right? At the end of the game, down beat. So let's put it in context, right? So some of them games weren't close, right? At the end of the game, a couple bad shots.
Starting point is 01:46:09 In the shot clock shots. See? Tyree got such a hell. All these things exist. That's what I said. Tyree got such a hell. How he average 24? I'm asking.
Starting point is 01:46:17 Is that a part of it? He average 29. No, no, no. Because you're separating the points. No, we're not. We're adding context to the argument. Exactly. You're separating the points. No, we're not. We're adding context to the argument.
Starting point is 01:46:25 Exactly. You're separating the points. No, we're adding context. But we don't need context added, though. Is that a part of it? Is that a part of the shot? It is. But look, let's cover what we're covering before we add context.
Starting point is 01:46:35 Could the percentage? Yes. Let's cover what we covered before we add. He shot a best percentage from three. Then he shot the rest percent in the regular season. No, there was better defense been put on him. No, I don't agree with that. Two for nine from three? I don't agree with that. For the No, I don't agree with that. Two for nine from three?
Starting point is 01:46:45 I don't agree with that. For the series? I don't agree with that. So it was just one-on-one defense or it was a team help? I don't agree with that. Oh, now we're doing team help. Now he's asking. Now we're doing one-on-one.
Starting point is 01:46:52 Because Kyrie got shut down. Y'all be moving, motherfucker. We might as well go from baseball to hockey. I asked the question. Y'all said the defender is the best person. But that's what they're doing. One at a time. One at a time. One at a time, please, fellas. So I got a question so with that shooting percentage lose have Luca has the ball in his hands a lot, right?
Starting point is 01:47:11 At the end at the end of quarters In the shot clock in the halves, right? He's not afraid of throwing that motherfucker 60 feet trying to get it to go in right or defeat Oh, so could those could? Could some of those misses the percentages be a part of that yes or no? Yes Okay, can I show something because if you shoot it? Oh, just you can't you can't use the stats with points rebounds assist, right? So because you can't use that, you're going to use defense. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:47 Right? Defense wins championships. Defense. Now, who was the best defender? And so does points, rebounds, and assists. Who was the best defender on the floor, actually? It was all of them. Yeah, I want you.
Starting point is 01:47:54 Who was the best defender on the floor? The person who was guarding the best player. Yes. Hey, Kyrie. Who was the best player? Who was the best player on the court? Who was the best player? Who y'all say the best player in the world?
Starting point is 01:48:03 Why y'all be deflecting? It's so weird how y'all deflect. We ask a question, they be like, uh. But who got shut down? When we was watching the game, who was affected? Who was affected the most? Luka Doncic? Who was affected the most? Who was guarding the best player?
Starting point is 01:48:17 Who was affected the most, Kyrie or Luka? Luka. He got kicked out. Luka. Luka did not hit his averages. And he shot 29% from three. Kyrie averaged 26, Luka averaged out. Luka did not hit his averages. And he shot 29% from three. Tyree averaged 26% on the average 20 in the finals. Luka Doncic shot 38% from the three, bro.
Starting point is 01:48:31 Tyree averaged 20 in the finals. 38% from the three. Tyree averaged 26% for the season, but 20 in the finals. Stop it. And Luka's numbers was down. Stop it. But not by more, though. So both of them was down.
Starting point is 01:48:40 Both of them was down. They both got locked up. So that equals to... Man, why we arguing, man? Who gives a fuck? Jace, you can't say that. Who gives a fuck? But you're not... They ain't trying to break the team. Both of them down they both got locked up so that You know, they're gonna do this The trophies are facts so Brandon legacy it's in my it's in room. Brandon, you said defense wins championships, right?
Starting point is 01:49:05 Mm-hmm. And so does points, rebounds, and assists. Mm-hmm. Right? Not without defense. You got to stop somebody. And you got to put the ball in the basket, pass it to somebody, and rebound that motherfucker, too. Hey, man.
Starting point is 01:49:15 So it went from cooked to cooked with the ED? Yes, you have to add the ED. I'm trying to break this team. Don't let them do it. Use your vowels. I ain't got no dog in this race, but I'm not going to let them talk like this shit wasn't rigged.
Starting point is 01:49:29 He seen how New York got cooked. Like I said, I want us to watch the games and I want the volume to be up so we can just listen to these motherfuckers what the narrative is these people talk. Can y'all have a prediction that will happen down the road? I watched the same game y'all watched. I seen Jalen Brown show up. Show up and show out. Guard the I watched the same game y'all watched. I seen Jalen Brown. Sit in the corner.
Starting point is 01:49:45 Sit in the corner. Show up. Show up and show out. Guard the best player. Say, y'all didn't give me no defense, all defense. I set out to get there. I was the best player on the Warriors. So you know what?
Starting point is 01:49:56 I'm going to go out here and take this. I was the best player on the Warriors. I remember this game. It was a game seven. I remember it was a game seven. It was Boston versus Miami. And I remember Tatum hurt his ankle, rolled his ankle, and all the weight was on one player. Who was that, Joe?
Starting point is 01:50:18 Don't break him down, man. No, I'm just saying it was on one player. I want to know what that outcome was. When was that? When did this happen? Only outcome I know is that that man got three trophies. That's all I know either. I don't even know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 01:50:30 Years before? Is he talking about years before? Three trophies. He got a finals MVP, an Eastern Conference, and then the trophy. I took all three home. Those are mine. All that shit is his. No real talk?
Starting point is 01:50:42 I'm going to just be honest. Give me my Larry O'Brien. You know the finals MVP is valued more than the NBA championship? You said the finals MVP? The finals MVP is ranked higher in points than the NBA championship. Because the finals, like for your legacy as you know when people say I want it would you rather give your MVP up for a ring The finals MVP is actually slated higher than the ring because the ring is actually a team-oriented
Starting point is 01:51:18 Thing that finals MVP is your performance. No, you can't do that So backwards, so there's this 15 So there's 15 slated slots. Mm-hmm. Sound good. MVP is one. Man, hell. But the ring itself, having rings,
Starting point is 01:51:33 is not actually top eight. Brandon. No, no, no. He's trying to give it to us. No, no, no. That's got nothing to do with that. He's trying to give it to us. That's got nothing to do with that.
Starting point is 01:51:41 And that's why Andre Iguodala having that finals MVP at his house is a fucking issue. No, what I'm saying, when people are arguing rings, when you're arguing rings, they put it on somebody's legacy. The ring is actually like the cherry on top. It's not the case. They got your individual awards first. MVP first, defensive player, scoring title.
Starting point is 01:52:06 You just answered their question. First all team. So you just answered their question. First all team. Who's doing this? Who's ranking these people? He's just answering your question. Who's ranking them?
Starting point is 01:52:17 That's how they're ranking. Who is they? Who is they? What you saying? Ex-Hall of Famers and the Hall of Fame coaches in the media when they're ranking top 75 and all of that. I know you don't like the ideal of it, but that's how it's ranked. I just want to know who's who.
Starting point is 01:52:32 Who's ranking? You just said it. I just want to say who the ranking is. No. He got the finals MVP. Shut the fuck up. If you let me talk. He said it's ranked higher.
Starting point is 01:52:41 MVP. The finals MVP is over championship. MVP is first. NBA MVP. First team. You said players ranked this? Hall of Fame. You know who votes for the Hall of Fame in Top 75? It's players who vote for this. So I said finals MVP is higher than the ring. The ring itself. The ring itself.
Starting point is 01:53:03 But first team All- all NBA is fourth. Scoring titles third. Defensive player of the year is second. First team all defense is fifth. So first team, so when you're sitting here collecting accolades and you're trying to stand
Starting point is 01:53:19 on your rings and you don't have no accolade, that's why the guy who has seven rings don't matter. That's why... Don't matter to who, though? That list. When are you voting again? We don't care about that list. That list. There's a list.
Starting point is 01:53:34 Give him the 75. I know we don't like the people who vote, but nobody likes a judge, and there's a defense, and there's a respondent, and then they vote. Right? Right?
Starting point is 01:53:49 Everybody goes in there thinking they're motherfucking innocent, right? And there's peers looking at the information. Do they get it wrong? It don't matter. Oh, it don't matter? But there's still a baseline. There's still a baseline, and that's how they vote. Where can we look this up at?
Starting point is 01:54:03 And that's how they vote. Where can we look this up at? Yeah, where can we look this up at? And that's how they vote. What can we look this up at? Yeah, what can we look this up at? I want to see. I want to see what you're talking about. Gil will send it to you. Gil said he's going to send it to you.

All right, well, let's talk. We talked about the Lakers, the debut of Luka.
Starting point is 01:56:21 Luka, as he's known, on these streets. Let's talk about his former team that's not doing as well right now. We've been as he's known, on these streets. Let's talk about his former team that's not doing as well right now. We've been covering the last two weeks on the show. Mavs fans are very unhappy
Starting point is 01:56:31 with the Luka trade. Here's an instance of something else that occurred last night. Let's take a look at the video. So, they had the fan cam up.
Starting point is 01:56:41 A fan said, fire Nico. Fire Nico. Because I thought at first that and I thought it had a couple other words attached to it but it was Nico coincidentally in that video the usher behind him started clapping immediately but and was shown on the video but we're doing a karaoke segment in between timeouts. Fan mouthed, fire Nico at the video board instead of singing.
Starting point is 01:57:09 That fan was eventually escorted out of the arena by Mavs security. No word if he was related to any Mavs player. Shout out to his boy for dipping with him. I probably would've stayed just to see. That's negative. Everybody saw what he said. That's negative.
Starting point is 01:57:31 It ain't positive. The Mavs, give him an extension. I guarantee that if he would've said, good job, Niko, they wouldn't have kicked him the fuck out. I'm just saying, if he had a son right there, he's embarrassing his son. He ain't doing nothing embarrassing. He also said it in front
Starting point is 01:57:45 of all them people, too, though. Yeah. They was booing for him, though. They was booing. So the Mavs said this fan and others were ejected for violating the NBA's code of conduct.
Starting point is 01:57:54 According to the Mavs beat reporter, Tim Cato, this was actually the first time Mavs fans had been shown on the video board since the Luka trade. And they were not shown
Starting point is 01:58:03 before or after this fan mentioned Fire Nico at the camera. To add to all this, Mavs head coach Jason Kidd did not speak with the media after the Mavs' overtime loss to the Kings, as is required by league rules. So how does a Mavs organization fix the tension between them and fans following the Luka trade, or can they fix that tension? Shit.
Starting point is 01:58:22 Try to keep your job as long as you can. Luka's not fat. Bring him back. Just try to keep your job, to keep your job as long as you can. Lucas, not that. Bring him back. Try to keep your job as long as you can. Boy, this is... Only way they can do it is they win. It's gonna be harder with AD out, though. They're gonna have to win it all. They're gonna have to win the championship
Starting point is 01:58:39 for them to get over this. Dead ass. You think a championship would make Mavs forget about… Chit Chat. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Their Slovenian president has kind of referred to him as his Hermano. At least for now, yeah, absolutely. Definitely, yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:54 For sure. Because they had something Luka didn't do, right? If they win it, it'll be something Luka didn't do, so… That's a fact. That's the only thing that would ease them crazy Mavericks fans. Trust me. Why do you want Nico fired? I think he should get a raise, girl. Personally.
Starting point is 01:59:17 You think he should get an extension? He is. With the Lakers, too. He deserve an extension? Shit, who else you gonna trade? Who else you gonna give away for the loan? With the Lakers, he... I don't... What I'm saying is... We buy it. What I'm saying is, didn't the owner just come out and say,
Starting point is 01:59:27 this is why we got rid of him? Well, can I ask a question? I want y'all input on this one. Pardon me. If the Mavericks were trying to get off Luka and they announced it to the whole league, who do you think the uproar would have been trying to get pieces together to
Starting point is 01:59:45 get a Luka trade? Oh, boy. They're playing crazy. All right, all right. So to avoid that, we keep it in-house. So you look at Nikko and you say, did you do right by the situation compared to what it could have been for the league? If you throw that out there,
Starting point is 02:00:06 Luka ain't nowhere in hell go to L.A. Because you're not going to trade A.D. or get a trade for A.D. for Luka. A.D., Max Christie, and a first-round pick was all it took to secure Luka's services. So if you're looking at it, really, A.D., if they was trying to really get off A.D., they would have never got Luka for him.
Starting point is 02:00:24 So the only deal you could really get is if they offloaded, make it make sense, all that dumb shit. But if you make it a league-wide thing where everybody's like, shit, they trying to get off Luka? We can go.
Starting point is 02:00:37 Everybody can go. Everybody can go. Brust it in, Taylor. Everybody can go. We gonna bring them wherever we can. It's gonna be a bid. It's gonna be like LeBron saying, I don't know where I'm going. Everybody can go. We going to bring them wherever we can. It's going to be a bid. It's going to be like LeBron saying, I don't know where I'm going.
Starting point is 02:00:46 I might go to South Beach, but I could go to Utah. Everybody like, shit, we can get LeBron James? What can we do? How can we raise the money? What can we throw in it? So I mean, how can you really say fire Nico if he didn't really do what could have fucked up everybody's situation?
Starting point is 02:01:06 Everybody's situation. AD looked up just because he ended up in a place where... But, Sean, you say that, and obviously you don't want to put that news out there just for the ramifications, but like you mentioned, you would probably get a better haul than AD, Max Christie, and one first-round pick if you did put that out there. For AD? I mean, except for Luka. Oh, yeah, you would have got way more.
Starting point is 02:01:26 What? At least 10 first round picks. You would have got Austin Reeves and Dalton Connect. We're not giving up Austin Reeves. You could have probably got some, but... Do you see what Utah got for fucking Rudy Gobert? What'd they get for him? The farm.
Starting point is 02:01:41 A lot of begets. Four first round picks. But it's still not better than goddamn AD. because you don't know what you're getting. Look at Utah now. They got a bunch of just first round picks just sitting on the bench. Look crazy. Getting their ass whooped. It's fucking, you don't know what you're getting.
Starting point is 02:01:59 Like, from AD, you're getting AD. Still, it's something. It's better than what somebody else is getting. I'm still confused on why they said fire Nico if What they was drafted He just got there right How do young pigs they not a they made over play of like traded players to get pigs back and they built the Team through the draft mostly. I get that.
Starting point is 02:02:27 So, therefore, that's what they... You could have got some more picks and shit, but I think... The owner said he got rid of him because he's fat. So why is everybody trying to say fire Nico? The owner already took responsibility, right? Can't say fire the owner. The owner took responsibility. He came out there say fire the owner. Came out and made a... Right, the owner took responsibility. He came out there and said
Starting point is 02:02:46 he had a whole little statement about Shaquille O'Neal and all that shit. You took responsibility. That means this was your move for a reason. That means this has nothing to do with Nico. You pulled this move. Nico's off limits now. He's low-hanging fruit.
Starting point is 02:03:04 Hey, it can't be no more. He's low-hanging fruit. Hey, it can't be no more. This man told me to do it. Here's the statement. He ain't Shaq. He ain't this. He ain't that. He ain't that. He should have shut the fuck up. That's the first person you see when some shit go bad. They did it, right?
Starting point is 02:03:19 Motherfucker push you down and turn around and you see standing there, you're like, that's the motherfucker that pushed me, right? That was the point yesterday at first. It was Nico right Nico you you said you did this now The owner trying to save faith ways to the public when you came out there open up your mouth So they should be looking at you now. What did you do like this the way this shit goes, right? We can I could get arrested for a body, right? We can, I could get arrested for a body, right?
Starting point is 02:03:47 Mm-hmm. I didn't do it. Mm-hmm. You can come to that motherfucker and say you did it. Mm-hmm. Until they got proof
Starting point is 02:03:53 and proven that they can say whatever the, we can say whatever they want. They gonna hold both our ass in that bitch. I hate that.
Starting point is 02:04:00 Or they might not believe what you say. The boss man said he did it, god damn it, you're going to. Or they might be like you trying to cover for him. Right? Yeah Or they might not believe what you say. The boss man said he did it, goddamn it, you're going to... Or they might be like, you trying to cover for him. Right?
Starting point is 02:04:08 Yeah, they might be like, you trying to cover for him. Cool, you the boss. I want the big fish any goddamn way. I don't want the runner. That's how they normally do it. I don't want the runner. I don't want... Yeah, give me the big fish.
Starting point is 02:04:18 Yeah, normally the runner take it. He got to take this body. That's what I said. This shit a... And that's why... You the soldier. That's why I didn't understand the general. The general, whatever the fuck his name is.
Starting point is 02:04:28 I don't know why he made a statement. The owner. You already had a scapegoat. The governor. The governor. You already had a scapegoat. Oh, the governor. The world is looking at him.
Starting point is 02:04:36 The governor. You wanted to go out there and just... The Mavs governor, Patrick Dumont. The governor. Sound like, yeah, it sounds like Walking Dead. You know, you go to... This is the governor. Yeah. He got this.
Starting point is 02:04:47 They don't like to say owner anymore, but... But the fact that they threatening this man family and all that shit, so... Master bedroom. He felt the need to speak. I'm assuming he felt the need to speak up because this man getting death threats. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:05:00 I get it. Let me take the pressure off of you and say, because it's my team, it's my money, I made the decision to do this because of this reason. Yeah. Yeah, that is. Can't be threatening this man and the family. So we heard reports before the trade went down,
Starting point is 02:05:15 Nico approached Dumont, said he was going to trade Luca. And owner laughed. Kenyon, you probably know that. We didn't know if it was a good laugh or a bad laugh. Yeah, like I said, he probably broke his. He could have been like, ha, ha, you damn right. Right? Like, shit, man, I thought you was never going to fucking ask, man.
Starting point is 02:05:28 Shit. Right? I've been watching this fat motherfucker run up and down. But I'm just saying, you never know. Or it could have been that laugh like, huh, I never would. It could have been either one. We wasn't there. But thankfully... The fact that he did tells me it was the I thought you would never ask laugh.
Starting point is 02:05:48 I think it's the last like, who could we possibly trade him for a laugh? For who? For who? For who? Who's better than him? What do you mean? Why would we do, like you have to make it enticing. Give us a reason why we would trade the best player in the league.
Starting point is 02:06:04 One of the best players in the league. Why would we do that? You gotta make it enticing. Give us a reason why we would train the best player in the league. Or one of the best players in the league. Why would we do that? You got to make it. You know how, you got to really sell me on that. Probably not, though. They got the worst of the three. No, probably not, though. If I'm laughing because you're literally like, what?
Starting point is 02:06:17 Trey Luka. But he probably, listen. The man, listen. If those are his words, we don't know. Y'all said it's not, we don't know. If those are his words, we don't know. Y'all said it's not, we don't know. If those are his words, right, it says he's had some knowledge of watching basketball. I don't agree with the Shaq shit.
Starting point is 02:06:33 We all know why he said it. We all know why he threw Shaq in there. It wasn't because it's just name, rings, champion, lineage, all that shit, right? He probably had been thinking this shit. Yeah. And knowing what that number was going to be. I'm about to pay this fat nigga $300.
Starting point is 02:06:52 He probably had been thinking it. And that number is $345. And he is like, I thought you would never ask. $85 a year? Like, this is right. Because that's where it was easy. Like, he presented it to him. Yeah, do it.
Starting point is 02:07:11 Because I can't see myself paying him that. Because if he's held there, he's going to be first team All-NBA. Second. For sure. One of them. One, two, three. For sure. Off top.
Starting point is 02:07:22 That number is what it is. Yeah. So, him thinking about that, she's like, man, I thought you would never. 123 for sure off top That number is what it is. Yeah, so Him thinking about that shit like man. I thought you would never Find out You're in a relationship right you won't know don't fucking lady come to be like shit I thought you would never ask. Right? You want to see other people? You want to see other people? Or you want to bring her in? Man, I thought you would never ask.
Starting point is 02:07:49 Todd, yo ass. Gil, to your question, they have not found out who the other team is, but since this is Gil's arena and we want to stir the pot, I'm going to say the Thunder for SGA. Wrong. Who was it? I think Giannis. You know something, Gil?
Starting point is 02:08:01 Tell me. I think it was Giannis. Because it don't move. Just whisper it into your you gotta move You're not somebody like that Luca. You got somebody. It's only one other player that you pick their phone up for if it ain't Joker Yeah, you're not picking a phone up there's a select few stars Yannis got it was actually mega stars that you can three teams Mmm. It was a who else compliment like there's only if you're gonna trade Luca
Starting point is 02:08:31 There's only two other motherfuckers really out there. You can just pull them back for Boston no, no, no, no Brian Denver your kitchen. There's only two teams that got the call They called the third one, hell yeah! Ah, the third being? Yeah. Ah, the team he's the new face of the franchise of. Los Angeles Lucas. They called the complimentary boo and boo.
Starting point is 02:08:57 Yeah, that was... They're calling for bigs. Mm-hmm. You think they called just... They called for bigs. I believe it. I believe it. I believe it. This just in.
Starting point is 02:09:07 I'm sure because if they put that on the table, they trying to figure it. They trying to go for the kill. Hey, this just in. Luka Doncic went defended by Jalen Brown in the NBA finals. Uh-oh. That's that, man. 154 possessions, 32 minutes of matchup time, 21 points, 9 for 22, 2 for 8 from 3, 5 turnovers, 2 shooting fouls.
Starting point is 02:09:31 Shot 40% from the field, 25% from the three. So he only guarded him 32 minutes in that hole? Total matchup time, 154 possessions. You shouldn't have read that. What? What? No. You said 32. Wait, that's one game? The whole final is 15 154 possessions. You shouldn't have read that. What? You said 32. Wait, that's one game?
Starting point is 02:09:47 The whole finals, 154 total possessions. Five games. So it wasn't his matchup? There was 154 total possessions. It was the most matchup time logged by a Celtic player versus an opponent in any round of the postseason. OK.
Starting point is 02:10:00 Cool. Well, there we go. Boom. I hate doing that. I hate doing that. I really do hate doing that. I really doing that. I really do hate doing that. I really hate doing that. That's cool.
Starting point is 02:10:07 Because I got to sub out, too. I can't play you the whole game. We all sub out. We sub in, sub out. You know, halftime, first quarter, second quarter. Not the whole game. I'm not chasing you everywhere. But you see the percentages, though.

Starting point is 02:10:38 You ain't got to go to yours. I done already went to mine. No, no. Nine for 22. That's a first through third quarter. Where's the other four games worth of information?
Starting point is 02:10:50 Like, you're putting Luka's whole series on one man. Are you not reading the numbers? I know you don't like them. Like, no, what I'm saying is,
Starting point is 02:10:59 are you not actually calculating the numbers? I know they don't make Nine for 22 is all, there's 22 possessions. That's it. That's 144, 154 total possessions guarded. Oh, you said nine for 22 against him.
Starting point is 02:11:16 He's not listening. He don't listen. Talk to your boy. Say it again, man. Talk to him, Nick. Read it again. How many possessions did Jalen Brown guard Luka? 22.
Starting point is 02:11:28 He didn't say 22. Listen. 154, Gilbert. 154? Possessions. That's what he said. That he guarded Luka. That's not what that's saying.
Starting point is 02:11:37 That's not what that's saying. How the fuck? Read it. Read it again. What the fuck is saying? I'm sorry. Can you read it again? He said this was diabolical.
Starting point is 02:11:44 Can you read it again, please? That's not what it's saying. Okay, read it again. Ain't nobody seeing but me. Okay you read it again? This is just so diabolical. Can you read it again, please? That's not what it's saying. Okay, read it again. Nobody see it but me. Can you just read it? Okay, read it again. Nobody see it but me and you're telling me what it fucking says. Read it again. Read it again.
Starting point is 02:11:52 That's so crazy. Read it again. Read it again. That is diabolical. Just read it. Read it again. That is great. Or you're going to monologue someone.
Starting point is 02:12:00 That's insane. So read it again. I'm good, man. No, sorry. Read it again. It's gone. It's gone. Read it again. I'm good, man. No, so read it again. It's gone. It's gone. Read it again. It was on the timeline.
Starting point is 02:12:08 It was just randomly on my timeline. Read it again. It's gone. Oh, now it's gone. It is. I had it on X. So it magically disappeared. It disappeared.
Starting point is 02:12:16 Look. It magically opened. Look. It magically disappeared. Oh my goodness. Another production. I always wipe up when I get off my phone. Don't do that to them.
Starting point is 02:12:24 Because they going to be finding anybody going in that... What is she doing? Tomorrow, watch. I can go right here. Look, I told you, you're about to go... You'll also have the phone with internet connectivity. Don't give it to them. I ran out of body bags, man, so I got to wait until next month.
Starting point is 02:12:42 Oh, Gil's now rewinding the show to locate the portion of... You gotta argue with me. You gotta argue with me. You a savvy individual. He's a Marine today. He's on the... You know you fucking with. Y'all interrupt me every time I try to do something anyway, so...
Starting point is 02:12:55 This be all you can be today. In the Army. This nigga is in the Army. Be all you can be? Man. Rest in peace, Ricky Baker. Little be all you can be. Little Army man today.
Starting point is 02:13:03 Man, if you shut the fuck up you can be. Little army man today. Man, if you shut the fuck up, you could have heard what he said. What'd he say? Don't get mad at me. He said out of 154 possessions in the game, he guarded them. No. Nine for 22, two for eight from the three. Tell him.
Starting point is 02:13:19 So in the NBA Finals, 154 possessions, he guarded Luka. Yeah, that's what he said. So 32 total minutes, right, if I'm hearing you correctly. Yes. 32 minutes, 154 possessions he guarded Luca. Yeah, so 32 total minutes, right if I'm hearing you correctly Yes, look at my minutes 150 for no sessions. Yes Huh, that's how many of sale right? No, it don't sound right, but it is you can't I don't that that I don't know See you way too far in the episode He said it was 9 for 22. Yes and 2 for 8 from the 3 while guarding him. And 154 total possessions in the 2024 NBA Finals.
Starting point is 02:13:49 So how's he 9 for 22? Because he didn't. He didn't shoot every possession. 154 possessions and only took 22 shots. He only took 22 shots. Are you not listening? 154 possessions. He only took 22 shots. When guarded by Jalen Brown.
Starting point is 02:14:03 When guarded. I can stop you from catching the ball. All the possessions, I was stopping you from getting your shot off. He's 9 22 shots. When guarded by Jalen Brown. When guarded. I could stop you from catching the ball. All the possessions, I was stopping you from getting your shot off. That's the whole point. I got 154 possessions. You only shot it 22 times. He has the ball 154 times, man. And you only shot it 22 with me on you.
Starting point is 02:14:18 I'm the point guard. You passed it when I'm on you and passed it. I have the ball. How is the math not mapping for y'all cuz it's not cuz I'm there with six assists He's count as his pet they don't mean he's passed when he knew an assist he was passing the ball All the time if he got six assists not more than likely average 154 possessions So I'm bringing the ball up. He counted as one if I pass it he counted as one if he doesn't shoot I shot the ball 22 times while he's guarding me.
Starting point is 02:14:47 I'm 9 for 22, 2 for 8 from the 3. So if I bring the ball up. Wait, you pass it and you don't shoot that possession, I got to stop. No, they're just counting all the points. They're just counting all the time you touch the ball. If the play calls for me to pass the ball to the fucking wing, when does the play call for Luka to do that? I'm the point guard.
Starting point is 02:15:08 I got the ball. Like, why we play like we're stupid? Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Think about you're a point guard, right? Uh-oh. If they said you only took 10 shots, but you're the point guard, and they said, well, Brandon had the ball 155 times.
Starting point is 02:15:24 Gilbert shut him down 5 for 10. You only took 10 shots in that whole possession. I only let you take 10 shots, Brandon. So you get the ball, that's a possession for you. No. That's not how it works, bro. Every possession that we come down as a team, every possession, possession. If Luka has the ball in his hands and I'm guarding him
Starting point is 02:15:45 as Jalen Brown whatever happens in that play is a possession now Luka may not shoot the ball for a hundred possessions while Jalen Brown
Starting point is 02:15:54 is guarding him is that by choice he may be is that by choice I don't know I don't give a fuck what it's by but the stats show
Starting point is 02:16:00 if I'm guarding you for 154 you only shot 22 I play good enough defense to only allow you to shoot 22 times. So the plays that they run, right? He's 9 for 22. And he has the green light every time, too. He's 9 for 22, dog.
Starting point is 02:16:12 So the plays that they run, right? He brings the ball up the right side of the floor. Daniel Gafford is in the middle of the floor. He throws it to him, and they run a split action. Is that a possession? Possession as soon as you get it. He comes down. Throw it to G and they run a split action? Is that a possession? Not when you bring it up. He comes down. Throw it to Gafford in the middle of the floor.
Starting point is 02:16:29 He has it in the middle of the floor and they run a split action. Is that a possession? When you got the ball, it's a possession. I'm asking. So last night he had. Listen. How many times did he take the ball last night? He had 40 possessions last night.
Starting point is 02:16:40 For that type of player, yes. Is that a possession? For him and Steph, yes. For any player that can come down and shoot, if you come down and you got the ball and you pass it, and you're not... I know, but it's only certain players in this league that have a green light to wear.
Starting point is 02:16:53 If he come down and pass and don't shoot, thank the fucking God. Thank God. If he called, listen... Because he can come down and shoot whenever he wants. He can, but he's not doing it. He's not shooting 154 times. Luka is doing it.
Starting point is 02:17:04 What I'm saying is... If he had a... It doesn't say he's shooting the ball 154 times. With this logic that you're trying to go with, he would have had to shot the ball 154 times. No, he wouldn't. I understand what it is. He shot the ball 22 times.
Starting point is 02:17:20 So if the player's thumb up, right? Hold on. If the player's thumb up, J. Kidd calls thumb up. Yes. Thumb up is throw the ball to the middle of the floor, you run a split action. He didn't get to shoot the ball, maybe. Somebody else shot it. They played it.
Starting point is 02:17:38 Right? They ran a split action. Kyrie came off. Luka popped. Kyrie came off. Kyrie got the shot. It's 150%. But Luka popped. Kyrie came off. Kyrie got the shot. But Luka bought the ball up. That's a
Starting point is 02:17:48 possession. That's a possession. It counts as a possession. So if he don't run thumb up, if J.K. calls thumb up and Luka come down and motherfucking call 77. What you talking about? It's 150 possessions though.
Starting point is 02:18:03 This is a possession. Give me the ball I pass it up. That's the possession and Lucas not doing that You don't pass the ball. Thanks. No you talking about the moon. How does Kyrie get the ball? How does Kyra how does anybody on the court get the ball? He is the first person with the possession You know what? Are you are you not? He's not the big man. Right, right, right. So it's not like you're throwing the ball into him
Starting point is 02:18:26 154 times. He starts the possession. So if the Dallas Mavericks had a total of 154, he is the first person with the ball every time. I'm confused how y'all argue. I just gave y'all the stats
Starting point is 02:18:39 and y'all just defusing the fuck out of the stats. It's like I gave you clear cut. Oh, they wrong. Oh, you wrong. That's so crazy. No, it's not flawed they only they only work they only work He had a hundred and forty something shots hundred four shots
Starting point is 02:18:53 While guarding Luca. Yes, Luca took 22 shots He was nine for 22 and he was two for eight from a three with five turnovers Wow, Jalen Brown was Shooting whatever percent and whatever percent. Yes. Around 41%. So have you guys ever played against somebody and they was on the court and said, do not let this motherfucker touch the ball?
Starting point is 02:19:12 And every time he touched the ball, he's dangerous, right? And every time he don't shoot it, isn't it? That was every night of my career. Okay, and that's a stop. That's a fucking... So you guard Tim Duncan and he come down, he don't score and he... No, it's not. Listen, and he don't... That's a stop for's a fucker. So you garden Tim Duncan and he come down he don't score and he passed Listen, he don't that's a stop for you. They call a roll
Starting point is 02:19:28 He averaged 20. Hey, they call wedge roll Tony Parker came over shot the elbow jumper How is that? Oh no Okay, so this is not a possession for Luka Doncic. I'm guarding Luka Doncic full court. I'm guarding him full court, right? Okay. All right, then he comes and he does a pick and roll.
Starting point is 02:19:52 What happens in a pick and roll? We switch. We switch, right? I'm no longer on him. Does that count for possession for me? You was on him. I was. But then when he scores it, does he score on me?
Starting point is 02:20:03 No. Okay, so all the points that Luka scored is not that nine for 22. The nine for 22 is all on when I'm guarding you, you shot bad percentage. Two combos in one time. Let's keep shooting. That's simple. But it's still 150, though. Let's learn how to play the game.
Starting point is 02:20:18 How many possessions do they have? It's called beef stew. So no. Beef stew. So therefore he averaged 39 minutes tonight. Nigga stew. I'm cooking nigga stew tonight. So in seven minutes, he did all that other damage? That's why you're a nigga stew. So, no. Beef stew. So, therefore, he averaged 39 minutes a night. I'm cooking nigga stew tonight.
Starting point is 02:20:26 So, in seven minutes, he did all that other damage? He wants to add in 154. God, listen, hold on. He averaged 39 minutes a night, right, Joe? In the playoffs, I asked you to look it up. In the finals. In the finals, he averaged 39 minutes a night. So, y'all said them 32 minutes Jalen Brown guarded him, he shut it.
Starting point is 02:20:44 So, those other seven minutes is when he did all that other damage. It's what y'all said them 32 minutes Jalen Brown guarded him. He shut it So those other seven minutes is when he did all that other damage is what y'all want me to believe I'm not changing shit to make sense. Y'all saying doing the time Jalen Brown spit on me shut him down. Yes or no 150 on him, he shut him down. Yes or no? 154%. No! So you shut him down, right? So y'all saying he shut him down? 25% from three. So the other seven minutes that he spent... So the other seven minutes that Lucas spent on the floor? When somebody else was guarding him.
Starting point is 02:21:16 He did all that other damage. When somebody else guarded him, yes. In seven minutes? Yes. That's the seven minutes I'm sitting down and I'm taking a rest and you getting your shit off. No, no, no, it's the seven minutes I'm sitting down and I'm taking a rest. You get your shit off when I'm sitting down. Is 32 total minutes a game time? Is 32 total minutes a game time in those sides? It's a game.
Starting point is 02:21:31 I'm saying you have 39 minutes a night. They try. So how many total minutes a night? Hey Josiah, don't let them wiggle out of this, man. Just go to the next zone. Is the 154 total possessions right in five games? About 30 possessions a game is what we're saying. Hey, 32 minutes.
Starting point is 02:21:43 No, no. It's not 32 minutes. It. 32 minutes. No, no. It's 32 minutes. It's cumulative. Stop letting this motherfucker just say something. It's cumulative. It's 32 total minutes. Over five games.
Starting point is 02:21:53 Hey, Nick, I'm the only one reading this shit. Nobody else can tell you what the fuck is on the piece of shit that I read. I'm the only one that can tell y'all what's on it. You're trying to make shit up. Now y'all all making shit up on the list that I got. This man shot 125 total shots. So what? Jalen Brown only guarded 22 of them.
Starting point is 02:22:18 Out of 154 possessions, after 154 possessions, Jalen Brown guarding him. 22. 22. He shot two for eight. Two for eight. Two for eight. And nine for 22. Two for eight, nine for 22.
