Episode Date: March 12, 2026

The Los Angeles Lakers Are Better WITHOUT LeBron James according to Gilbert Arenas as Gil & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the Lakers sweeping their season series against Anthony Edwards & The Minnesota Timberwolves as they've ripped off 6 wins in their last 7 games and break down the team's 10-2 record when Austin Reaves & Luka Doncic play without LeBron James, sparking a debate on if the Lake Show are better without their all time great ball stopper clogging the floor. They then move over to the other side of LA to highlight Kawhi Leonard & The Los Angeles Clippers historic turnaround as The Klaw has carried the Clippers back to .500 and debate if moving on from James Harden was the right move to get this team back in the hunt for an NBA Championship. Next, they react to Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr offering a solution to the NBA's injury & tanking epidemic by begging the league to shorten the season and debate if fewer regular season game would actually help the league before Swaggy P reacts to his viral highlight clip from the 2010-11 season and debate if the walking meme would be an All-Star in today's NBA.

damn there I fell into his arms and he stopped it out like looking to the men's outlet after yeah we got a lot to we got a lot to discuss

us. Here's what's cracking in Gills Arena today. Clippers are in the midst of a historic turnaround behind a career year from Kauai Leonard, but is the claw worthy of an all-N-A selection this season. Basketball world is still going crazy in response to Bam Out of Bio's 83-point game, but it's got us wondering which current player could break Will's record, not as far-fetched as it once seemed if Bam putting up 83, and he's not a traditional score by that sentence. And Steve Kerr is once again advocating for the league to shorten the regular season

is the Warriors head coach spitting or tripping. Obviously, Warriors dealing with a lot of issues. Steph's going to miss what looks like 20 straight games now. Out for 10 more days dealing with a knee. But we will talk about it. But before we get into all that, as always, this show is brought to you by Underdog. Underdogs available in most states,

So we're going to start this one on the lighter side. Like I mentioned, basketball world still buzzing after Bam out of bio's unexpected 83 point game Tuesday, putting them ahead of Kobe for the second most points in a single game in NBA history. March 2nd was the 64th anniversary of Wilkes 100-point game, which still stands as arguably the most unbreakable record in basketball history, or one of them. So in light of Bam's 83, Mr. B will start with you. Which current player do you think could drop? 101 points in an NBA game?

A couple players that come to mind. I got to go with Luca. I got to go with Devin Booker. I got to go with Wembe. And then I got to go with... I got to go with Janus. You think Yonis could drop 101 in a game, the Greek freak?

Okay. Let's move on to you. Swaggy P. Who do you think could drop 101 points in NBA game? Antman. I'm going to go Ant Man. Tyree's Maxie. Bam, Alibio.

Swaggy, you think Bam could improve upon his 83-point career high and get to 101? If he's playing the winner. For sure, for sure. And I'm... I mean, yeah. All right, V Mitch. Spider, okay.

I think I mentioned. I want to say the Wizards play the Cavs, the final game of the season. Don Mitchell has a potential to do something special to close this one out. Last but not least, our namesake of the show is through Gilbert J. Arenas.

Gil, who do you think currently in the NBA could drop 101 points in the NBA game? I'm going to go with Luca first. Obviously, because, you know, to score 100, you need threes, free throws, and just natural buckets.

So that'd be, Luca, two, lamello ball. La Mello. Lamello fast as to 900, career three-pointers. For someone who shoots a lot of threes and he shoots quick shots, right?

I think he can put up enough buckets in the way the game plays. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying with, Luca, you think he doesn't play to the slow, though? Yeah, but he's going to get a lot of A&1s. Right, you're talking about, A&1s, three, He's like he's going to get to the free-door line, stop the clock, so that'll be his advantage.

I have Edwards, but my, my, my, for sure, Victor, I think Victor can get it. He's playing close to the basket against a million ones. Here's some threes. And here's my sleeper. Uh-oh. Carl Anthony Towns. Wow, Gil, the big bodega, Carl Anthony Towns. I'll give the big bodega.

Carl Anthony Johnson. Big Catt. I think the big bodega. Can get it. Hey. Mr. I thought it was a three. The Lakers played the Wizards. I think the big bodega can.

Like, you're talking about he shoot threes and he gets a lot of foul. I think Brunson's gone and they just say, we want you to do it. I think he can get it. Big bodega. I don't think so. I was going to say how the rest of you I feel about? I don't think you got enough energy for it.

You got to think of the team, so you've got to have a right team. You got to have a right teammates. Now, if you ever look at any of the games of that of people are trying to break records, it's the first three quarters, you're playing them straight up, right?

Only when they're trying to get closer to the record it is when they're going to triple quadruple team you and do all that extra shit because they don't want you to get something. So you do have to be in shape for that. So Carl will have a hard time because then you got to bring the ball up. And, you know, if you can't dribble the ball up to court, you're not going to do that. You're going to take the ball out of your hand in the half course. So you're going to be, you're going to have to do what Bam, dude. Just give me the ball now and let me go.

What about SGA? You don't shoot enough three. You don't shoot enough three. Like you're talking about somebody who should you got to shoot 273s. Somebody who makes at least 17 out of those. Like if step was younger, I would say step for sure. But this would be all.

James, those for him. Shit, Clay too. So I put Clay in here. Steph, Clay. I'm saying current,

though, current guys. Anthony Edwards is probably, he would probably be third in reality. He'll probably be third because he shoots a lot of threes. and he can get to the free throw line. Did any of y'all say a healthy M. B? I don't know if I heard him B's name mentioned.

He's not. Okay, but Gil, at some point. Okay, okay. A 27-year-old Steph. What about Jalen Brown? No, but didn't just get 70, what, two years ago? Yeah, but his knee, I mean, his knees are just done. They just can't last.

I mean, if you can just give them one night, throw the cortisone in there, throw some numbing shit in there and say, hey. What about, what about Brunston? Jalen Brown. If I'm playing the Wizards, each night, I was trying to get my star player to break the record for the rest of the season. Brunton, he, he wastes too much energy trying to score.

Like, scoring 100, you got to just, most of your points got to be quick. So Maxie, Tatum, because Tatum, you know, oh, Donovan Mitchell. Yeah, he said. I said, me. Okay. I see, I see the chat. on Kauai's name in the hat, I would say based on what we saw the All-Star game. I'm just, it quite has the ability.

What about Cam Thomas? Like if Cam Thomas started the game. Two-foot jumper, he don't get foul enough. So everything he does is going to be fadeaways. So like, like, people like that, that means they're going to have to make at least 30 to 40 shots. Okay. Right?

You know, they're getting 100. I mean, to get that, man, you're talking about most of those, you've got to be free throws. You got to be sitting at the free-go-line lot. That's what I said. Winby can. It's probably the more ideal if you had to put money on it.

Because, you know, he can shoot threes. He can get fouled. He can make the little easy, some tip-ins, right? Low effort scoring, for the most part. Or a mellow ball, come past half-court, shoot some of those, and you're just on fire. So when the Wizards come to L.A. on the 30, if Lucas had tried to break the record.

It doesn't be a wizard. It didn't be any team. At the end of the season, everybody gave up at the end of the season. It's mostly wizards. The Wizards are not. The Wizards up and don't get buckets put on their heads on there. I would mostly do it on the Wizards. Man.

Think about a Utah trap, but they come right back at you. That last week, now think about the last week of basketball when you gave up, man. He doesn't sit your shit home. That's why most those records are at the last week of basketball. I'm trying to get it. I tell my teammates like, hey, come on tonight. Let me try. man

we're going to talk about you a little bit later in the show but let's keep this thing we're very interested and hold on do you think you think it's bad basketball when

you didn't triple team the whole game or you start fouling other players so bam can't get the ball like well like who who messed up first and put the bullshit in the game right you know there's always

like you know like if we had the park and someone called some bullshit, right? Then it's all that. It's trickle down. You know, once you started, it started. Like, who's, like, he's already on a, so now you're fouling someone now so they can shoot so he can't score. So that's why they put the ball on the hand. So, you know what I mean?

Like, you know, once you start doing it then. I didn't have missed that free, though, perfect, though. From Miami. I'm so how he missed that, Frito, that perfect? It was still entertaining, though. Yeah. I said it was still entertaining. You got to make the free throws.

Yeah. 36 or 43. Both NBA records. That's good a shooting. All right. That's what I'm saying. You could have a 90 right there. But so going 43 for 43 from the line in the game.

That's not. Yeah, that's that problem. Yeah, that's L.D. Wow. That's them type. James Harden back. All right, let's keep this thing moving. James Hardin would have been, you know, what's so funny,

a young James Hardin would have probably been. For sure. He didn't make the, but see, he couldn't do it because he always made the playoffs. And there was one of those years where he just could have just, last game of the season, shoot threes, gets fouled, knows how to get foul, knows how to bait. So he'd have been sitting at a free throw in a lot. Yeah.

Shout out of James Hardin. Third guard, you surpassed 29,000 career points. Yeah. Doing his thing. All right, well, let's keep this thing moving shifted over to Los Angeles, where the clippers are in the midst of a historic turnaround. They were six and 21 in December.

But like I said, it turned things around since behind some strong play from Kauai Leonard. So with their win over the next Monday, they improved a 32 and 32 on the season getting back to 500 for the first time since November 3rd when they were 3 and 3. They were the second team in NBA history to reach 500 after falling 15 or more games below 500 earlier in the same season. No team had ever moved above 500. after previously being 15 of more games under 500. But the Clippers made history Wednesday night with their blowout win over the wolves.

Clips put up a season high in franchise record tying 153 points on Minnesota. Kauai coming through with a monster game, 45 points on 15 or 20 shooting. 6 and 9 from 3, 9 and 10 from the line to extend this 20-point streak to 43 games. Benedict Matherin added 22 points. Darius Garland had 21 knocking down 5-3s. LA's other team has won three straight in six of their last seven. Gil, we will start with you. Are you surprised at all by the Clippers turnaround this season from that 6th and 21 beginning

back in December? Am I surprised by a turnaround from the Clippers who's supposed to have been the third best team in the league? But it's the Clippers, Gil. But they're supposed to be the third best team in the league as a championship contender starting the season off. They were. And because of all that you, they got Bill, they got Chris Paul. like they were supposed to be a prominent team.

I can say, okay, I am surprised because once you got down that far, you could have really gave up, you know what the sense, where you got rid of James Harden. It looked like he was giving the season away. Yeah. The fact that there's still fighting kind of shows how strong that team was. They just got off to a bad start. So does the be an eighth right now in a possible chance at the playoffs?

and, you know, once the Clippers get into playoffs, you know, anything can happen. So I'm a little surprised that they made a comeback from where they were. And we're going to talk about that a little more in a second, but even them as an AC doesn't feel right, right, from what they were ranked or what they were supposed to be at the beginning of the season. Like we talked about those moves, those moves that we made, a lot of people like myself.

The name makes some AC, the name. Yeah, but the point being, that's not a traditional AC by that imagination, that team that's going necessarily roll over. in the postseason. Remains to be seen, obviously. You know what I mean? That's why I say Clipper's 1621. Was they really a third scene for a little?

Yes. Yes. That was a prediction. Tradition. For the season. And they went through their little, they went through their little drama that they had when people were supposed to be giving advice

that wasn't supposed to. All right. But for us, seeing that team in the beginning, not them, not what they, not what the people put them as where would you have put them as in the beginning of the season if you was like

the person that put them at three seed where would you have put the team Gil looking at the team coming into the regular season where would you have put them realistically yeah with the team they had

on paper would you have put them at the three probably four I would have had O KC. I would have had Denver, Houston. Denver, Houston around that. You would have put the Lakers in front of them.

Yeah, for sure. Lakers. Timberwolves. Yeah, that's what I'm like. I would have him. Oh, I would have him. That's what I'm saying. You had them top six for sure. I would have still had them three with the talent.

I'm still having to be in the talent. I would have had Houston in front of them. Yeah. Sure. I would have. For sure. I definitely had the spurs over the, I mean, the clippers over the spurs and all that. So I'm definitely keeping the clippers at three.

And you had the spurs high? No, no, no. I'm saying I had the clippers high, but the spurs, I mean, where the spurs are now, I'm saying like in the beginning I didn't have the spurs being that high. But I would have had them around the same like spurs and clippers like seven, eight or six, seven. Yeah, yeah. I think we did have spurs making the playoffs.

Yeah. Yeah, we had to make them playoffs, but it wasn't. Yeah. But that's what confuses me. Like, how was the clippers ranked third? Like, that's crazy. But go ahead. You mean, Kauai Hardin looking at that rock, I'm just saying, the John Collins knew,

I'm just, they had one of the older teams in the league, the unction. This is before the Collins move, right? No, they got Colin, this is like Bill, that's that group, right? Yeah, what Bill, I mean, you had a, on paper, boggy, boggy. I think I love that squad. That squad looked very, very formidable in there, but Swaggy. Let's move on to you, former Los Angeles Clipper. Nick, Swaggy P. Young, are supplies by the Clippers turnaround at all from that six and 21 start,

27 and 11 cents. Well, sure, I love me, though. I love to see Kauai out there looking like Robot Jordan, you know. It's fun to see. It's always fun when the Clippers is balling and making the playoffs, and it's good for the city. So, you know, you got to keep going, keep going. For sure.

I hope they just get better. Garland came back, right? Derrick's Garland has come back. He's playing now. He's out there. So I think they're going to be. you don't want to play the Clippers in the playoffs for sure. With a player like Kauai.

Spurs. I definitely don't want to see the Clippers. You don't want to see Kauai, yeah. It's just the Klippers just got Kauai? No, they got Dairz Garland. They got Darius Garland. You got Collins. Ben Maver.

You're former. Oh, yeah. Arizona Lunt. They're hooping. They hooping. They hooping over there. He's like, Tony.

His second best player comes off the bench. That's crazy. Derris Garland not their second best player again? I know, I know. I'm asking you.

What? Is Derris Garland not the Clippers second best player? Yeah, he is. Okay. Just make it sure. All right,

let's move on to our car car country club member. I don't watch that. You're a lover of basketball. Yeah, I don't watch some clippers. Basketball. Do you watch them when they play the leger?

Oh, you see what they did to Minnesota yesterday? What that ass? I was watching Minnesota yesterday. No, you couldn't have been watching Minnesota. Minnesota came to L.A. and got their ass whoop. Get out of here. You know how you watch it? Like, if the office is here and they go on defense,

I don't watch that side of the TV. Just baby. Why didn't ball? No, he's going to be bowling. He's a wife being bawling. He has. Oh, he has. Mr. B.

Are you surprised at all by the Clippers turned on after that 6 and 21? It was looking like the Thunder were about to snatch up their lottery pick. Clippers have since turned it around. Ty Luce saying he wanted to go 35 and 20 for the remainder of the season at that point. I think a lot of us laughed at that.

Yeah, I did. Assessment, 27 and 11, though, have the potential to surpass that 35 and 20 benchmark he put out just to get the team to 500. Have a winning record now. I'm not surprised. When you have a guy, a healthy guy like Kaua Leonard, and you have a coach like to Ron Liu has, they both have a championship experience, they just went through a rough patch. But, you know, they are scary right now because they are playing well.

They do got the youth. They did add Darius Garland and Matherin, so they're playing faster. Those guys are averaging like 20 the last five games. Mathering. So, yeah. So, yeah, it looks good. I mean, they just went through that rough little patch that they had, but they got through that. I've definitely gotten through that rough patch.

So there's some discourse going on right now. I'm asking you guys a question. I'm not co-signing, but some people think that Ty Loo should be in the conversation for coach of the year. Do you agree or disagree that Tyloo should be in the conversation for a coach of the year based on this Clippers and story turnaround since December? I'm a disagree because you got coaches like the Pistons, the Celtics, who are supposed. somebody else is up in there. Maybe throw Ms. Johnson's name in there, too, if you went with the Spurs and what they've been able to do.

Expectations coming into the season versus what the team looks like now. Yeah, the Spurs also. So I'm going to say no. I don't think Ty Loo should be in a conversation at all. Shouldn't be in the conversation? I think so. Let's think of the stuff he'd have to do this year.

All the Chris Paul stuff he went through, tapping people on the shoulders and shit. You got James Hardens just end up saying he don't want to be here no more. Bradley Bill goes down. He had to deal with a lot, too. They could have just folded and should have been in the 10th spot, 12 spot this year, but they stay competitive. So I think he should be in it.

He went through a lot this season. Like so, Lost Bradley, bill for the season had Kauai Mitch a stretch of 10 games earlier in that season dealing with some injury issues during that nasty part, that nasty beginning to their season. But let's shift over to you, Gil. Should Tylo be in the conversation for coach of the year? I'm going to say no, only because I can't reward you because you got your shit together now, right? If you guys were playing this way at the beginning, he's like you were supposed to play,

then you should be coach of the year, right? I can't reward you for starting slow than, you know, winning 20 out of 23, right? I can't reward you like for drop, like you're here to go all the way down here to then come back to eighth and I was supposed to reward that behavior? No. But you don't got none of them saying people.

If you was an age student, got a F. I'm not giving you a pass because your ass is at a D-minus right now. No, but if you're in a group project and you lose all your group members for except one and you can trade and get into other pieces and you come back. You're a D-minus. You didn't come back to three.

You're not a B student. You're not an A student. You started off as an A student. You know how everybody starts off with a good grade? You got Fs? Now you're a D-minus. You want me to say, oh, yeah, you're a good student? No, D-minus. They're not a C right now. I'm just a see right now. I'm saying, why was they ranked number three?

You gotta give it to that. They had James, Bradley Bill, they don't got none of no people no more. Mm-hmm. None of no people. Yeah.

No, Chris Paul. Yes. Now you back. Now you've got to a B. You might have to see. But I'm not going to say you don't get credit

with any students. I'm sorry. You know, they're not a Cahua going to get credit. Kauai going to be a first all NBA, I mean, second all NBA,

his first one of the motherfuckers. He did his part of the group projects. Why the coach can't get credit? What? Why the coach can't get no credit? He's the project manager. Individual. All NBA is the individual.

Coach of the years coaching the team. But he helped. Yeah, you think he should be in a conversation as like a top three? No. No, no, I'm not. I'm asking Nick. I'm at, I don't.

I mean, there's a lot of coaches out there, man. that wasn't expected to do nothing and look where they are. That's... Come on. For time. All right, well, speaking of individuals. 6 to 21.

Yeah, look, look, look, look, 6 to 21. Yes. Now you're 33 and 32. C minus. You're in, you're in... Fort Fitness C. Like, if this was... Fort Fitness.

If this is a grade, A is what? First, second place. All I'm saying. Third and four. Clippers was in the east. The clipper was in the east. If the clipper was in the east,

everybody else was an F, nine through 15 is a F. If the clippers was in the east, they'd be number one. No, they would not be. If the clippers was in the east, it'd be exactly what they're going on in the east. No, no, no, hell no.

They would not be number one in the east. They would not be number one in the east. They, they, whoop that. Come on, man. They, look at this. Dog, walk the fucking Detroit Pistons is out here. If they record

was in the east, they'd be 11th. Oh, because they're fucking, come on and stop. I'm just saying. Right now, if they were in the east,

they would have played, if they played East Coast teams, not West Coast teams. They do. Yeah. They did, they play.

They would be ranked 11th. They'll be behind Charlotte. So they wouldn't even be making them. Man. Yeah. I think 12 and 13 against the Eastern Conference, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm going to just be honest. Let me see. You can look at that, look at it. I'm just looked at it up. 12 and 13. Yeah, they're 21 and 19 against the West. I'm going to say 12 and 13 against Eastless my math. Who did they?

33 and 32. They barely did it. Like, what are we talking about? You making it seem like they record is better than it is. I can tell you this. It is. I can tell you this, though. The chances of them getting the seventh is very, very, very, very slim.

Yeah. Very slim. So they're going to sit at 8, 9, or 10. That's where they're going to finish at. My guess would be, I'm going to say they have that 8th spot locked up, but you got the Warriors are going to be without step for at least five more. No, don't they got to play for that, though, in the playing? Yeah, so they could be 7.

They could be Phoenix. They'll finish more likely 8th. They could jump Phoenix by winning that playing game and take the 7th spot. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They want the 7th spot for sure. For sure. Everybody wants that spot, bro. Everybody wants that spot.

I know, but it got Kauai Lenners. It got Kauai Lennon name writing all over it. Why does everybody want that seven spot? I like the spot we in. Why does everybody want that seven spot? Did they think the Spurs are sweet or something? Yeah. Spurs what?

Just use. 60 to one. Like when people thought O KC was young, their star player wasn't young. No, they remember they lost their. There's something. I'm going to say wasn't young. The team, you know, the team as a whole was young,

but Shea, Caruso, Harkinstein, Ludo, like those are older guys on the team, right? Spurs, who's your, who's playing big minutes that actually got any experience? Harrison Barnes, right? So, you know, with the Spurs, it's, you know, it's one of those things where you will want,

I mean, you still got, he got Fox. Yeah. Right? And so I think that he's going to, he's going to turn up in the playoffs because the playoffs is going to be more of his game. I can't, you know.

You said you need that for the Fox to be that go to. I like Spurs in the playoffs, but if you're a team, you're going to play the young team. I don't know, man. Tom's first, I'll be nervous to play the Clippers. Spurs is nervous.

I'm telling me. I'm telling me. We don't want to see that. Listen, We don't want to see Kauai. I'm not going back to the team that's a D. I'm sorry. This is their D team.

Sorry, man. I get it, Gil. But if they get to the playoffs, it's a whole new grade now. They're running through people, bro. They're worse than Charlotte. They running through people lately, though. Charlotte got a squad,

They still, they still, they still got 27-11 and they still got Tour of the last seven. Championship experience. Mm. Very, very vital. I'm taking that. Let's talk, let's talk a little,

Kauai. You know, even the team that like, let's say, who got the, who's the last place? Let's see, Dallas or Indiana. I'm pretty sure Indiana won three games or out of five, right? You know, they had,

weekend, right? You know, teams got their moments. 27-11. It's a year. It's a year. Right? What are they, 27 and 11?

Huh? 27 and 11 in their last 38 games. So the Pacers did not do that. The Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers. They're rolling at the right time. The Pacers have not done that.

Some day good. I mean, no, the greatest song. They got the best player that came by the Arizona. Come on. out the bench. No, listen, the great is fine. I'm just... The greatest player from Arizona?

No, that's Aiton. What's his best to make me, man. That's serious. That's not here in the virtual arena. You said Aiton? Yeah, he's the best player that came out of Arizona. He's going to be from Arizona. Ablem is the best player that came out of Arizona.

You get drafted number one. Oh, no. Oh, he got, oh. Derek Williams. He was not taking number one. He was not taking number one. Oh. Unless the Damon stopped, did Damon start to go one or he went two, two?

I don't think he won one. Should he might have went. Yeah, I don't think he went lower. Yeah, it was eight. And you go number one, brother, you're the best. What? Shout out to Salim Stadammer. Yeah.

Anyway, I'm about say Salim Stadammer. Fuck. He was cold. Yeah, no, he was cold. He was cold. Yep. He was cold. Yeah, Damon was the seven-pick, Salim.

That's what I was. Ahead of his time. That's why I went to go there. Ahead of his time. Torture me my freshman year. Shout out to Charles Saline's Lottemeyer. Yeah, that's swing shot shit. Oh, my God.

That's one of the reason why I was in there. I mean, go out in Portland. Yeah, you got Gonset in Portland in the mix right now. Like I said, Gonset's going to be without Steph for at least five more. It'll be essentially 20 straight games he's missed. And it's going to get to a point there. Obviously, no Jimmy with that crew. They're trying to hold on for dear life.

but Clippers are in a good spot right now. And like I said, you win that one playing game against what you'll likely be the Suns. Has the potential you never know, though. Wolves are kind of slumping right now. Teams are slumping. It's a log jam from three to six. Somebody could fall out of that next. We're playing that right soon.

How many games is left? Huh? 17, 17, 16. 17. 17 games left. I'm going to let me here and say they know goddamn well. Clippers will be. nowhere near four, five, or six.

I didn't, no, I didn't say that at all. Because you said they'd be stupid. There's a log jam from three to six is what I said. Three to six. And seven if you want to include the sons. Two games separate, two games separate the third seed from the seven seat, yeah, I'm just saying.

Three to six, what they got to do is seven spot or the eight spot where we're talking about the clippers? Because seven, please. Three to seven, sir. Three to seven, sir. So three to seven, there is a lot. Two games separating the third team in the West and the seventh team in the West at this very moment.

Oh. So any of them slip to seven had to see the Clippers at eight, there's a potential. I know we don't do hypotheticals or talk about things that happen in the room. Oh, you said it's a same versus eight. Yeah, that's all I'm just saying. There's a chance that one of these teams right now in the three to six spots fall to that seven have to play the Clippers.

Yeah, it'll be Phoenix. What we're looking at, what we're looking at, of one two, one, two, seven, eight, that is like kind of solid. That's, that's, that's done. I mean, and one two is a two and a half game separating the spurs and the thunder. So even that could pose some potential situation. For that top two spot, it's going to be either the spurs or the thunder at this point. I think, you know, next coach's team, Rockets and Lakers are eight games behind the spurs.

So they're not going to turn it around. There's these big gaps on both on the top end and the bottom end. And then that three to seven. Intriguing, but... I think that's... I think... What you think about that match at? Lakers versus Denver.

Goodbye, Lakers. What? I think he can beat Denver. Goodbye, Lakers. Let's get ready for next year. Mr. B, come on, now. I'm just... You think...

I'd rather... I'd rather play... I'd rather play... For sure. Fuck yeah. For sure. That's what I'm saying. But sure.

You ain't got nobody down there that can guard your kids. No fact. I already know... he's going to miss that series because every time he plays fuck a joker he's done he's done he got to get that but he mean out his heart a fine country a fine country and he faked an injury i can't even say he faked the injury but he was injured just like in the playoffs him versus um joker in the playoffs or joker was

giving his ass at work last game he missed it they shipped his ass to portland we're not doing that shit over here man you got to bring him Bring your ass. Listen, he's won three, four MVP's. It don't matter. What happens to you for four, five years? So don't even worry about that. Just play.

But don't you worry about that. Listen, you get 15 and 12 against him. You're a hero. That's how you got to think. Don't worry about stopping him. He just can't give up 40, 15, and 12 on the other side. No American has said that. Well, you're not even American, so.

But hear me. A fine country. But yeah. I'm like our chances because they got some things over there that don't work well. Right. Like long term, they got a bunch of people who can't shoot like that. Like you got three sometimes, three people on the court that can consistently shoot that outside shot. So we're going to take our chances right there.

I wouldn't. I'll just get ready for next year. This ain't this ain't before. Like them dudes that was coming off the bench that couldn't shoot out. They play a lot now. Yeah. We're going to take our chances. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I like that. Let's give Kawhi some love while we can. So Kawhi currently holds the second longest active 20-point game streak behind SGA with 43 games. Most four-player over 30 in NBA history. Kauai has the second most games this season with 25 plus points on 50, 40-90 split. also second to SGA. Tied for third in the league with 5 40-point games. And like I said, he missed 10 straight games early in the season.

The Clippers were 2 and 8 in that stretch without the braided one. Cincinnati Kauai has played 45 of the last 49 games for the season, averaging a career high 28 points on 50, 38, 91 splits, along with 6.4 rebounds, nearly four assists. When you look at Kauai Zah, Clippers in the A spot, is Kauai worthy of making an all-N-B-B-E-1sblits. team this season and if so which all NBA team is Kauai deserving of

making, Gil. I do some research. The one of them go real quick. One of them we will start with one of them in Swaggy Pete NBA World Champion of the World. I for sure think he should be a second team.

A second team. Okay. The average is 28. 28 two-way player, what he's doing is, if you, if you're going to put like Cade and Jalen Brown on the first team, I think they were a little more deserving for sure. So anywhere between that second team, I could see Kauai on there,

what he's doing this year, what he did in the All-Star game, kind of brought that game back, made it more entertaining. Putting up big numbers, 45. last night against the Timmer Wolves. He had a 50, I think, this season, too. Tic, Tlipper franchise record, from, no mistaken. Yeah, for sure. And nobody gets, people expect the Kauai to be just another one of the Kauai season,

not playing that much, not, you know, in and out of the season. But he's been dedicated. He's been looking like old Robot Jordan, I said. So, yeah, for sure, it deserves it. Oh, Robogey. Yeah, I have 55 on the Pistons back on December 28th. Oh, yeah, he had the speed limit. And that was a good one because Pistons is a good defensive team.

Great deal. I'm going to say, I mean, if this was old ways and it wasn't just positionless, he could have won first team. He could have been on first team. I think his performance is second team, all-N-B-A, right? Somebody's going to get screwed in his first team because you got a bunch of players playing

well. But I think he's guaranteed second team right now. Guaranteed second team, all-N-B-A-up. Yeah, I agree. Just go quickly, what do you think is Kauai could do to elevate himself to that first team all-N-B-A? If Clippers continue to play

like they're playing right now, Kauai continues the ball. I think he can get, if he can get the seventh and he just keeps playing well, it's, it's not to deny what he's doing individually. Sure. The whole season, no matter what's been going on with the team, he's been, he's been outperforming the record. So, um, if I was one of the voters, I'll be arguing for first team and trying to really debate.

but it would be hard to remove some of these guys who's been doing it the whole season just like him, they're winning also. Because even if he had a winning record, you know, you're talking about Shea, Yolkich, Kay, Jalen Brown, and Wimby that's sitting there, right? No, Luca? I mean, Luca's the only one that, you know,

that you can do like, okay, he can make second thing, but those guys with the winning record, and they've been playing well, and their team didn't supposed to be there for the most part, they can argue for first team too so I can guarantee somebody don't get left out somebody can left out

you think Luke has argument for first team though I would imagine right leading the league is scoring the numbers he's putting up yeah no no that's guarantee first round I mean you didn't make

I said because of their record and they're playing well and their team wasn't supposed to be there so like somebody like winby Jalen Wilby Jalen and Cade right it'd be you know

success and their record, they're going to argue for first team. But one of those three is not going to make it. I really believe they're going to screw Jalen Brown. For sure. It seems like the, or women. Or maybe.

Jaylon Brown, a little too vocal. Kate is locked. Yeah. Jalen Brown, a contentious situation. Yeah, Kaden Brown. He's locked for it. So. Kate and S.A.

Who will be that second team, though? Who will be that second team? Ain't got to be on there. Hey, man, might be Right, man. He's already screwed. He might be on third. He might be third.

Hey, man, Brunson, they're going to still. Oh, Janus is not going to make it this year. Oh. So that's a spot. Yeah, remember, some of these guys might not make any of you, too, because record, what is that list? Because Yokish can't miss how many more games? I think if he can miss one more. He can miss one more game, then he'll still be eligible if he missed anything beyond that.

I think SGA is like five or six games, so he's probably going to still be there. Kauai obviously, I think,'s played 51 games this season. So he's still got to hit that threshold for that 75 games. So there's still. How many games, Kauai, but? He's played 51 games this season. Clippers have. Oh, shit.

Yeah. So he's, he teetered on the brink, too. Clippers have 17 games left. So he got to play 15 of the, or 14 of those 17. Damn. To make the list as well. I mean, I think he'll get there. But Mr. B., over to you.

Kauai, All-N-B-A worthy? Yes, of course. As long as he meet the 65 game minimum, I think he'll be fine. I mean, he's about to go down shooting 50, 40, 90. So if you're shooting 50, if you're shooting 50, 40-90, I mean, you've got to be, you know, with the numbers he have. You know, you've got to be all-MBA something.

Getting it done on both sides of the ball as well. So let's shift over, like we said, the clippers smacked the wolves. after the clippers win over the wolves Ant Man had some high praise for the claw so let's take a listen to what Ant Man had to say about Kauai Leonard

I mean in all honestly Kauai may be one of the best thirds to ever play a game when he's healthy I think a lot of his peers feel the same way about him if he's healthy 100%

I ain't no stopping Kauai so I mean you got to deal with it and he dealt the two to us tonight again. Went healthy. Y'all agree with Ant, man. I think Kauai's one of the greatest players to play the game.

Win healthy? Yeah, I'm not even going on cap. I was a, I wasn't a very, very big supporter of the Spurs Kauai. I just, I just thought it was a systematic thing.

Then he can play outside that system, right? Robot movement. when he got to Toronto, you know what? Let me see. Let me see what he does outside of the Spurs system. And what I've seen was, you know what,

even though I don't like the way of look sometimes, he gets it done, I can't go against it. The Clipper, Kauai, seeing him up close, that, like, that commercial really had him as the machine. Yeah, goddamn, that's what it looks like, like, right? You know, I watched them when Lakers played the Clippers, and when he's shooting, like, it's money.

Like, he can flat out shoot that ball. Like, has he been a real robot? Real robot. Has he been a three-ball contest? No. I don't think so. Like, weird, because, like, that's what he can do. But he's a great three-point shooter and, like,

never participated i believe yeah despite that efficiency that's crazy yeah i'll put him up i mean that but those are that's the guy that sits there's that goes unnoticed man but you know when it comes to playing this game of basketball man like i can say if he's one of the greatest if he didn't get injured and the fact that he would still be a bona fide hall of famer first ballot with this resume and missed half of his career tells the story of how good the man really is. What do you think you'd be with top five, top three? Man, I mean...

Not his first four years, just being, you know, just rookie them years. And the only thing that stopped him from being the all-a-envi-a players just the injuries. I mean, listen, they had an argument. It's what... This is about to be Kauai Lee. Go ahead, go ahead, my man.

Oh, yeah, no. You know, they had an argument of him being better than KD at one point. For sure. Like, that was lingering around for a minute until he got hurt. So, I mean. You guys are all knowledgeable Hoopers. In your opinion, where does Kauai stack up against the greatest small forwards in NBA history? Greatest small forwards?

I will have him. Well, who do you have? LeBron. I'll have them four. I'll go LeBron. As a Hooper, I'm going to go Katie, then Bird.

But resume and you know, you won three straight MVPs and you damn near it was like three straight MVP's and you came in second another four or five times. That is greatness in itself. Right? So I will go

Bird, Katie, Katie Bird. And then I will probably go Kauai. I got it I got Kauat top five Who you got? I mean, Braun KD,

Kauad, Scotty Pippen, and Bird. Oh. You got Scottie Pippin over Burr? Yeah, I like Scottie Pippin. I like

I got Brian, Katie, Bird I go, I go Kauai, then Bird, and then Mello or Scotty Pippen.

That's it. How is that? That's fine. That's fine. Yeah, I mean, he went, he was,

he was running up, MVP, runner up, runner up, runner up, MVP, MVP, MVP.

But you got to think of the time, runner up. Yeah, but, yeah, but Gil, yeah, but you also said like in the clutch

he was trash but he's I mean he's still the number one like that's in the playoffs and playoffs and play on closing games just like this closing games in the playoffs who bird

but you got to think of the times too though yeah all black athletic league and he's man Boston in that time and somebody said I mean you might want to do your research

but I'm pretty sure you've never seen a playoff game. And it's closing games in the playoffs. Like the closing game is the last game. His shooting percentage was not like that. And I did a bunch of research because I was going at Skip Bayless back and forth. And I went through every single closing game that he had. And ready at 5 for 19. It was just all closing games.

First round, second round, third round. It wasn't good. I can tell you that. Dr. J was a small four? Yep. Oh, shit. But I'm just saying, like, when you're talking about this, like, I know we do comparisons of our era,

but it is hard to deny somebody, even if we've never seen them, that they're, like, you're talking about his rookie season, he was fourth and MVP votes. Then second, second, second, MVP, MVP, MVP, third runner up.

Like, that's pure dominance. That is a dominating. I think the only person who's, the only person who would look close like that would be Michael Jordan. He'll be the only one that will be in the top three every year they play. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, two, one, two, three, one, one, three, one, three, one, two, one, two, one. Yeah. That is what the kids call Dominant. Can you, what? How many years he played? Who? Like 12 or 13. Yeah, get the junkie back.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, magic. He played 13, but bad back. That one year he missed, his bad back that last year he retired and he averaged 20 and 8, 20 and 9. 29 and 7.

24, 10, and 6 for his career. The year he's retiring because his back is bad, he averaged 29 and 7, 2010 and 7, 2010 and 7, 20, 10 and 7, 24 10 and 7, or 2410 and 6 for his career. He went out crazy. I can't, I can't do that.

But I'm not putting Pippin over Bird. You know, as, as great as Pippin' War. Jay up there then. As great as Pippin was, it wasn't the main focal point of, you know, the dominance, right? So that's just, I can't, that's just the way that you was a role player

in the system. So I can't knock that for you. You know, it's just a knock against you in this standpoint. You never really got to do what you wanted to do on your own. Dr. Jay, I mean, we don't know, Dr. Jay's resume is kind of what?

It's not all in the NBA. Yeah, it's that ABA, NBA, NBA merger. Pre, pre and post, but... But he said bird was trash. He said bird was trash, you know. You know. Who? Dr. Jay?

Oh, that's why I can't... He was a mall fart. I mean, I mean, Pippa said he was better than Jordan, so he got to be better than Burr. Well, whoa, whoa, well, he was before Jordan, so he was Michael Jordan in the, in them 70s. he was the rock star, but... You don't put him in here?

George Gervyn? You're going to let him sleep in the big house? I mean, Dr. Jay, God, damn. He was an all... He was an all-star from the moment he touched basketball. I was just looking at it. I'm just... That shit is crazy.

Yeah, he's not... Yeah, he's good, woof. Bernard King, it's a lot of them. Man. He's all for every year. I mean I'm gonna go five okay Kauai

I gotta move you I gotta move you I'm sorry I'm sorry bro I gotta move you to five Hey but wasn't they like I gotta put Dr. J4 Wasn't they putting like like making their stats and shit

better back in the day too though that was called wait you mean cocaine No like like I heard the joint thing like during like they've those not the real numbers.

They, like, added numbers and shit to their stuff. They didn't add it. I mean, back when people respected to go. Everybody's era. Yeah, like, like, you're, you're, okay, this is just a real thing, how it works. Your stats are going to be better at home than it will be on the road. Because it's your home. So, like, if Brandon is leading the league and assists and he's top, when I'm at the

scores table, you throw the ball up and eat and go lay, assist. I'm going to give you that, right? Versus on the road, versus on the road, they're going to give you the assist like a regular person. But when you're at home, they're a little friendly, friendly or on little things like that, assist, right? It's a team rebound. It's like Nick, Javelle, and Javelle got his 10, right? They'll do stuff like that. You know, so, but because it happens to everyone, I can't knock somebody else because someone pointed that one out. Like the Michael Jordan one, everyone did it, so I can't point that out.

I stole points for people. You know, you tip it in, you just raise your hand. Obviously, you're going to give it to me. Being in a locker room, like, what do you mean? I got, I got five points. No, you got three. Those are my two. The chip in hand race.

The hand race on the turkey. So I don't look at that. I can't. I can't. Stuff like that is pointless, pointing out people. It's like, oh,

you shouldn't have won these awards because of, I'm going to put Jason Taylor. Yeah, I'm going to put Jason Taylor at five, actually. Already? Well, I just know how his career going to win that sport. Oh, you're going to pre-do it?

What? He got a championship? How many for all teams? Five? He's first team all five. He's... Will he rookie at a year or no? Yeah, he should have been, right?

He should have been, right? Yeah, I don't... Rookie out of year? That was, uh, ball. That was all then. He was all the end. He won't be old stars he got? He won't rookie a year?

Wait, yeah, no, he didn't. Who wanted? What the fuck was in that? That's ball, uh, folks. Yeah, who wanted then?

Who the fuck was in? Because folks was hurt, remember? Yeah. Oh, but Jason, remember Jason Tadon was playing, uh,

he came with an IT, so, you know, he wasn't shining like that in that class. Who won that? Who won that? Let me see.

Yeah, because Boston was still good back then. I mean, they're still good now. Ben Simmons, no, business wasn't in that, He probably was.

He probably was that Ben Simmons missed. Yeah, 2018, Rekideer. Oh, yeah, that's why you want to be in here. He came back and was Ben Simmons. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stop the cat. Six all-stars, I think, five all-N-BAs. Yeah, I'm going to put Jason Taylor at five right now.

All right, take Mello out. Uh-uh. All right, well, let's keep this conversation moving. We will stay in Los Angeles. Lakers fans might have been disappointed to see BAM past Kobe's 81 Tuesday night, but they were happy to see their squad sweep the season series with the Wolves with an impressive 14-point win.

Luca dropped his 7th triple-double this season with 31 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. And after scoring just two points in the first half, Austin Reeves erupted for 29 in the second half, including two four-point plays. Lim and Daddy had 31, seven rebounds, eight assists. Lakers six in one in their last seven games, including three straight wins with LeBron's side.

sideline. Purple and gold currently fourth in the west have the same record as the Rockets. The Rockets hold the tiebreaker. They will play each other twice on the 16th and 18th of March. But Gil, looking at this Lakers squad, you gave the Clippers a D-D-minus, I believe, is their grade. How would you grade this Lakers

squad so far this is? Joe, you know, I'm a, I love the Lakers. Put that, put that advice and watched. Yeah, I'm putting it aside. You know, having watched one fucking game. I did not know that. That's the trade deadline. I did not know that.

I refuse to support the bullshit that happened during trade deadline. The fact that we didn't get nothing. And that means that means when we go into the playoffs,

if JJ's not playing them all 48 minutes and we got to come off the bench, I'm going to be very, very disappointed. I might cut the TV off we try to sub in this. No, no. We got to sub in this team off the bench.

You got to give them a C. I think this got to be the team to go into the playoffs. The team of what? The best of the ass team that you once called them. This team that's playing now. And what do you mean by this team that's playing now? Who's on the rules? Who plays against the Timberwood?

Off the bench. When we sub it? Like, you know, when we got to sub in some, when we have to sub in somebody. Vanderbilt. Kimmy, connect. What is this, Nick in there? I do he's a rookie.

I do he's a rookie. He's not in the road direction, though. Johnny, Kepler, Hayes, Luke Canard. That's the team. Those players got to get in the game. Luke Connard, not bad,

Gil. Luke Lamar, I've been bowling, though. He's fishing. And then we got starters. We got starters. Marcus Mark Aiden. On their job. I mean, y'all sitting third.

Yeah. I'll give you all right. We ain't got no confusion about who's one and two or three. It's just one and two. So they're getting it done. That's when we win. Okay, look, listen, y'all still. What are you getting at here right here with this number two?

We don't have six, seven, eight, nine, ten. We do. We don't need that. Who got that? The rest of the league. They can come out of somebody who can move in the roof. The Spurs got that. Okay, see, he got that.

Our six man is Jake from Allstate and Luke Canar. Luke Conar is nice. Now he is. He's supposed to be like paid pitcher on a loaf. They're like, he's supposed to be on that. He's supposed to be like that. Give me three of those. Oh.

You got to get yourself a C, Gil. Tell me. Is it N.A? What grade is that? What grade is that? That is not a great. N.A. What is he having called?

Not accepting. Not nothing. Not at all. Disappleton in the busseting. Right? 40 and 25. 40 and 20. But, you guys didn't make no moves and y'all sitting in third.

What are you like, you're still on the up at this point. I told y'all it was time for you all to push the patent button and y'all pushed it. Look where y'all at right now. Where do we push? We didn't do nothing. I told you. I got a chance to finish top three. I told y'all I wanted someone here during the trade deadline.

We don't need all that. Just wait until next year. Why don't you just wait until next year? Because last year I said we was winning like a, uh, 2026 championship. I already did that. I mean, Laker fans, I mean, yeah, that's what the Laker fans do every year.

Okay. So the fact that I, I predicted a Laker championship, 2026 said it was written in stone. Come on, man. Everybody knew the Lakers wouldn't win a championship. Yeah, I'm about this year. And A. N A. Nah, man.

N A. N A. You got A. A. Whatever that is in the grade. N A? Okay. Gil said N A.

He gives the Lakers N-A. N-A. Okay. N-A. N-A? All right. Not accepting it.

I'm not accepting it. N-A. I'm not accepting this team, so I'm not watching it. Well, I'm going to watch the Lakers no more into the playoffs. Well,

I'm going to get y'all to see. Yeah, how are you not watching the Lakers, but you're going to watch them in the playoffs? You know, you don't even know we have come last. We got Lou Canard. You got... I'm not watching it.

Okay? You're not going to listen. You're not going to make me like players I don't want to. like. Okay. I don't know what they do out there. I don't like this team. But you replace Gabe Benson with Luke and Art.

Come on. I'll take back in my own, man. What's Christian Woods at? Christian Woods back? He was falling in Houston. We, you end the shovel. Yeah, where is he?

Tom? What is he? Yeah. What happened to Blake and Mound? Yeah. Yeah. He'd be a lot. He didn't come shooting in the court like he was shooting at

the niggins trying to get in his house. Tap it. Come in and pop that shit. That's what I want. Man, black and brown average, three points right now. Who?

Black and mouth. They're not playing them right over there. Really nice. Three points, man. Yeah. 27% for the three. Our team,

the group of weed, is like, Blue Dream. Okay? A fine point. It was good. Back in the, day early 2000.

What did you say what drink? Blue dream. Blue dream is not quality anymore. Strange and all that is mid outdoor right now. Blue Dream is not what it used to be. It passes into because it's light depth. Okay? It's not real

Indo. It's like drinking a credible golf right now. A great bedroom. That's all. It ain't real end up. It's a real endo. Blue Dream, not what it used to be. A couple of pups, he's hard. Because they laced it.

That is it, okay? Just let you know, man. I'm not, I don't like it. Rolling in a grapes swisher. We're going to have a bam. We're going to have to have a bam, bam playoff run. What did you talk about? You're going to have to have a bam?

Stop, man. What I'm saying is, you know how we didn't expect BAM to do what BAM did. Okay. That's how our playoff run has to be for us to win a championship. We got to be BAM in the playoffs. For an entire, that's fair season.

One good Tuesday night. It happens in the final. This person get kicked out. This person get hurt. Something like that. Boom, we won. One of those. That's fair.

That's fair. I give you that. That's what I'm talking about. You just said he could beat Denver. Yes, Denver. Because they play slow basketball. and don't have no shooters. Y'all not beating Denver.

I don't think we can beat Houston. I get to, I get a late at him. If Luca, if we don't sub one, and then Luca and AR is doing that foul baiting shit, because there's some athletes over there, and they're going going to jump and do all that. Yeah, they're going to try to

play black. Yeah. Yeah, they're going to be doing Pump fate, you're going to lean in. Yeah, we'll get a lot of files in that series. So what if y'all see Minnesota? I think it'd be Minnesota. Three in August, Minnesota had no problem with the Timberwolves. This is. But I swept him.

She's talking about. No problem. That's what I'm saying. We have no problem. I'm not giving the Lakers that. As of lately, I'm going to give them a minus. Okay, Swaggy. I deserve it.

I keep here you allude or something with your commentary. I'm not getting a minus. I'm just not going to grab. I'm not going to give it a grade right now. I'm not applicable. That's what the N.A. N.A. I believe, according to the chat.

Not acceptable. What is it? Not acceptable. But no, W right in between there and we got something. We got. Negroes were added to it. All right.

Swaguer. Swaguer. W right in between that end and that. Hey, you're good to go. And it's on the way. So let's talk about another situation, conversation that's been discussed. You said you haven't watched the Lakers since the All-Star weekend,

so I'm glad that you've missed the nasty work that's been going on on the inner web. So Lakers 14 and 7 without LeBron this season, 10 and 2 in games with both Luca and Reeves play without Brown, including those three straight wins over the wolves, including these last three games. 10 and 2? Oh, shit. So Swaggy, we'll start with you.

So, Swahy, what are your thoughts on the narrative that the Lakers are a better team without LeBron? This is what's getting pushed right now, Gil? I'm just letting you know, black SUVs. I think, no disrespect to LeBron, but I think they are a better team without LeBron, for sure. There's just no confusion about where the ball goes. You know, with Brown on the floor, I think they got to feed the king.

It's hard, you know. And with Bron not there, they're able to be one, B2, and play the game they normally play. So when the Brown's there, AR is left out in the desk. he's confused about should he go or should he shoot this shot or pass it to LeBron? And I think that's the confusion they got now. They're confused about who's one, A, I mean, two, and who's three. Even if A.R. is out, Bron and Luca, I just think one of them has to go.

Mm. Mm. Hmm. Twaggy. One of them has to go. A.R. or LeBron? One of them has to go. Because all three of them together is nasty work. But who is that on? Is that on the Bron? Is that on Jay-J. Reddick?

Like what, you know what I mean? We're hearing this narrative getting pushed, but Bron is not the head coach. And Brian is, it said he's willing to adapt to whatever style the Lakers want to play. You can plug and play him. And he can address his game.

You could say that, but on the floor to do something else. That came kicked in. Like, nigga, you can't. Yeah. LeBron doesn't fit them no more. Yeah, he doesn't fit them. That's all.

There's no disrespect to Brian. He's still a goat. The ball moves and, and defensively, they can move better, too. I mean, look how you guys are, Gil, you guys are in third. Like, LeBron has been. You guys are winning without LeBron right now. It's good basketball. A small sample, sir, in this last three-game stretch.

Last three-game. A lot of ass team. in that 14 and 7. I mean, they're 10. Yes. They're 14. So, LeBron's a problem.

Let me take 11 shots, 12, 15. Oh, I'm not saying he's the problem. He doesn't fit. He doesn't fit. If you got two superstars on a team, that's mega stars, and your ass is third fiddle, and you can't, you can't, you star-strugged out there? That ain't a problem. That ain't.

You never seen stars like this before? he don't know what to do. There was no stars like that when he was in Phoenix and stuff. You know, he got dead, but you got Chris Paul. And then you go down to Toronto, Portland, and there's nothing out there. You come to L.A. and shit changed. You think you can wear a motherfucker like a what,

burgundy red, gray, beige hair. And you think, you know, come on, man. Stop. No. LeBronza. What's the record without look on the team? No, the record. No, the record with Reeves.

and Luca is 10 and 2. Thank you. I said the record is 10 and 2 with Luca. Lakers are 66 without Luca Dantre this season. I'm talking about with Luke Dantzich and who's on it? Yeah, so you know you can do that with everybody. What is the record with LeBron James only on the team? And Luca and A.R. is not on there.

You see how we can do that? No, what's the record with LeBron and A.R. Undefeated? I'm sure. But that's my point, though. Yeah. I'm saying one of them got to go. Yeah, we know who it is.

One person. They need two stars, not three stars. One person. We don't got three stars. We do. Oh, no, no, no, no. We got two calls. As much as you hate to admit it, AR is a star.

It's a star. Let's get small and two stars on the court. That's it. That's all it is. What do you mean? What do you mean? What are you talking about? He ain't getting the ball.

Yeah. If it's Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippet, yeah, Scottie Pippey, people know how to play it, right? If there's Michael Jordan, Toby, you know, that's what's happening with AR. When the big dogs is coming, he's a little dog, and he don't know how to be a little dog no more.

And he's sitting in the corner doing whatever he do. It's not my problem, man. It's the same. Like when, like when I play with you and Brandon, like, y'all shoot all the shots and let me play. Like, I'm just running up and down the floor. A better when there's only one of y'all or none of you guys. It's better when nobody's on the court. Of course.

You don't know how to pick your balls up and demand, demand greatness when we're on the court, too. No, no, it's just that I can't touch the ball and demand it. You got to bear it. You can't demand something if you're not. getting the ball. What do you get the narrative? He's not getting the ball. Why is he not playing well then on the course?

Something got to be up. Because when LeBron ain't out there, they 10 and 2. And he's still shit. 30, 20, 35. Wait, wait, wait, wait, what do you mean, 10 and 2? When Austin Reeves and Luca play? With Austin Reeves and Luca play without LeBron.

What are they when Austin's not playing? Let me see. Yeah, I want to hear all of it. Don't just give me the narrative on give me every single lineup. What is Austin record without them two niggas? I want to know all of it. Okay. Okay.

And what's LeBron record without both them motherfuckers? That's what I'm saying. Give me all the lineups. Don't just give me just the one you want the narrative on. And it means just Reeves. Yeah, that is good. Hold on. I'm not sure.

Oh, man. Come on, man. He's shooting more than everybody. Come on, man. Say 19 and 11, I think. Three for sixteen and nineteen and eleven. One shots, twelve shots, fifteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, seventeen, seventeen, where do you get this narrative?

He ain't, nineteen and eleven. He ain't getting the ball? He gets the ball. No, no, no, no. Who, 1911? I'm looking at his shots back when he was going to go. When he shot, 16, 14, 11, 15, 9, 11, 12, 16, 16, Listen, if you get the missing, don't do it no more.

That's, that's how it works. if you start off one in five bullshit no more oh come on don't talk to him like he's not getting his shots he getting his shots they put him in a wrong

they put him in there getting the shots in the wrong position yeah it's different when somebody else is out there you're trying to get shot now you got to go stand in the corner no no no you know the problem

with his shot sometimes this is the problem when all three of them on a court if you ever look at how Austin plays. Whoever has the ball, Luca or LeBron, right? So LeBron usually is the corner guy, for the most part, or he is at the hash. If you ever look at Austin Reeves position, he's never in shooting position. So he plays like this, when you, like if you're a quarterback

and you hike the ball and you throw it back to the running back so that he can still throw it like he's the option player so he's never in shooting for like you know like if lucas doing something and he passed back to austin this is not a shot for austin he he's staying so far back as a relief guy so when he gets the ball he can then come down dribble then they can do the pick and roll and that irritates the shit out of me like yeah why are you never in the shooting zone where if somebody's doubling capacity you can take that shot you're always like fucking by that by the half court every single time. I don't know why he does that. So a lot of his shots

are missed opportunities because of where he stands. Like if you go, if you watch a highlight right now, watch where Austin Reed's position himself. He positioned himself down there by a half court every single time in a half court offense. Irritates. It's irritating.

I'm not going to let you do that to Austin. I know he ain't going to get the ball. Yeah, that's a, that's a he, where he's sitting there doing this, that's where he's catching that. So then he can come do pick and roll and stuff. I don't know if it's a bad habit. I don't know if it's part of the offense,

but it irritates the shit out of me because it's like, they'll get closer so you can shoot that shit. You're a shooter. Be in position to shoot. Right? Those are missed opportunities. You're watching it, Joe?

Hmm? I'm watching it. What's you're watching the highlight? Watch what he is? Because I be telling him, you know, when I was coaching A-A-A-A-U, that used to tell my kids, why y'all sent him so far back there? Get your ass to this line. So if the ball comes to you, you have the option to shoot.

You're in three. So LeBron, by himself, he's three and three. Look at that. LeBron and A.R. is 10 and 5. Who? A.R. and LeBron together. What is Luca by himself? Luca and LeBron is 19 and 11.

Okay, look it by himself. And Reeves by himself. Oh, that's a good one. Hey, you know what? No, you know what? I'm not doing this with y'all. I'm not doing this with y'all. You know why?

Because you don't want... What the team looks like? Ha! I know the road of the team look like. Y'all got to do this to me? And you know, you got to see LeBrona tomorrow or something. Huh? Y'all still in third.

No, and whoever's six is looking at us like, yeah, they're sweet. Yep Now we're fourth right now You're playing dinner You're all tied for you guys all tired Yeah I'm just saying like You know I know what the rest of the team looks like But look it's free agency

And The team is going to be different next year Obviously it's going to be Lucas centered Eight and four But it's just Luca though There's going to be Lucas center Huh

Eight and four Eight and four Eight and four And Luca by itself Yeah. So LeBron's a problem. So, um, um,

um, um, you know what it is? It's not that LeBron shoots the ball. It's, it's, it's, those are kind of the big issues where

LeBron is playing, I, I will consider selfish basketball in a sense of because of how Luca plays the game, milking it, doing a pick and roll, doing all of this. And that's not a winning formula. You do exactly, you play to it.

Like, okay, you pass it to me. I'm not going to shoot. I'm going to swing it around. Right. So it's one of those type of games that I'm not going to be the aggressor in your system. And, you know, that's a selfish shot. I don't know if that's what's going on, but it looks like it to me. It's like when Kobe and Shaq was playing and that switch happened.

and Kobe started the season without Shaquille O'Neill, and he got all the 90s, and when Shaq came back, and he's like, oh, no, you're number two. Now Shaq don't want to play defense. No, not guard, team back by yourself. Nah, don't help him. And he's pulling those moves.

He's not playing to. He's not playing to win so Kobe can prove he's a winner at number one option. So it's kind of like a little tank job in a sense. That's what I feel like. So don't that means? You got to get rid of it? No, LeBron's contract, it gets rid of itself.

You know what I mean? Like, it's, it's, it's, Lakers have so much wiggle room this summer. And, you know, I'm excited for the summer. That's it. Aren't we all? Everybody. It's going to be a hell of a summer. A great summer for all.

But, Gil, last question. This will be a great summer for the Lakers. Are the Lakers a better team this season than the, they were last season. I know you ever watched this the All-Star break but from what you have seen

when we had I like the potential we had at the beginning of the season. I like that potential now though after after the All-Star or the Trade Day.

I don't like our bitch. Like if you tell me we're only going to play six players and he's going to be Luke Canard or Jake from Allstate then I'm good

with the Lakers. We go past seven dollars. I'm not putting them D-League players in. every single one of them. Every single one of them should be with,

they should just form from eight on down. They should just form a G-Leat team and I guarantee you they won't win no championship in the G-League. Damn. They beat the Wizards.

You don't think the Lakers bench could win a G-Leod championship. For sure, the Lakers bench will beat the Wizards. For sure. For sure. For sure, the Lakers' bench will be,

for sure. And they definitely going down to the G League and winning the whole thing, for sure. No, I don't even think it's going to my 35 in older league than win. I can't win in your 35 and older league. Like, do you know the team? You heard of the team, right? If I've seen Lukenor and Jake, any of them, right now, if I've seen them on the court. What?

You're going to get in your buckets. For sure. Nick. Hilling them. Now, if I've seen them on the other guys. It looks like they jump out the gym. They kind of scare me now. But if I seen,

Brian, if you seen Luke Knorr right now on the floor at 24 or something. I'm going at him. Like, I'm going at him for sure. Like that. No, like when you said this team,

so this team right here will beat the Clippers. Max Keebleau. Jackson Hayes. Addu. Dalton. Brony James. Buffkin, because I'm not going to say his first name.

Bufkin. What's his first name? Huh? What's his first name? It ain't the real one. It ain't the real Kobe beef. But it's a sign of respect that people name their kids after the real one. Yeah, yeah.

So we got Kobe and then just the buffkin. And then we got Vanderbilt. That's one to three, five, six, seven, that's eight players off our bench. Y'all, the Lakers. The Lakers got to stop being stubborn. They're NBA players. And then Jake and Luke.

So Jake is our sixth and seventh man. The Lakers are being stubborn. They need to start playing Delta Connect more. Start playing Delta Connect more. It looks like after that. What do you think our team looks like? I mean, yeah. Okay, yeah.

They're not winning those G-Lean championship. Yes, they are. Yes, they are. Yes, they are. And they beat the Wizards. Yeah, the Wizards. because I've got enough. They shouldn't be a team.

They shouldn't be a team. Who did this team at here? The Wizards. But why are they not playing Dautha Connect, though? I think they need to play them more. Like, they got to come to some type of agreement and apologize or shake, handshake, or something. Every since the trade and come back, like...

It's hard. It's probably... No, you can't. can't go from, he almost had a 40 point game, you can't go from averaging this into zero minutes, not playing. Yeah, you can. Sorry players play well too, Nick.

No, sorry, don't. No, no, sorry, players can't get 40. When he was a kid, I forgot what team he was on, he averaged, he was averaging five, he was averaging five points a

game and then hit like 50, 55. Who is that? The negative average 18. And then it's the total of eight points the next two games. The negative average 80. Does anybody remember that? Who is that?

You're, you're, you're, I forgot where he was. Let me see if I see the name. Good, so by your estimation, a sorry player can get 40 in an NBA game. Finn. Is it Finn? Oh, they said Malachi, Phil.

Malachi, Malachi. Malachi, Malachi. He averaging 5.5 for the season. And that 50. So yeah, dogs are getting negative 40. You know, there's practice, right?

Yeah. There's a practice. We got practice. But like y'all say, you know, no more. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, they don't. We got something to prove you can play basketball. So if you ain't getting in the game, God damn, you just ain't good. No. I want to win more. No.

Damn. It was a good. He was good enough to get traded for damn. What's the center that average was? They sent him back. No, we sent him back. His knees and some shit, so we didn't take him. We said, I got.

Aidan Smith. See, that's why shit ain't working out for karma. You don't do people like that. You got Aidan Smith. He want to come out with him. Whatever the thing of name is. Want to come out with Jungle Pete with Braves, looking like. You're missing the point.

We tried to trade them. Yes. We made them look good enough to trade. Right? We watched it. You don't look good at the table, though. We tried to get rid of them. And we're like, God damn, these knees, ah, we'll take them back.

And then we got exactly what we want. Another bench player. Y'all are right, though, Gil. I'm telling you. All right. I hear you about your bench, but. I fight for third. What is all right?

What is all right? Winning a playoffs, winning true? I think he's being sarcastic. I think he's being sarcastic. No, I'm serious. You guys are in six. And I say,

and I say, what's time if you got to get the panic button? Now y'all can be third. But Mr. B., a week of basketball can completely shift the whole landscape. Like right now, we're tied for third,

but we're close. We're close. Hey, man, I'm just saying, man. We're knocking on that playing door, but let's keep this thing moving. Sufficient Lakers discourse. So NBA seen a big increase in injuries to star players in the past few years with stars in this decade missing way more games than stars did throughout previous decades in NBA history.

In light of this fact, amongst others, in the evolution of the current game, Steve Kerr has been a proponent of the league reducing the regular season schedule. So earlier this week, Kerr once again advocated for the lead to consider reducing the schedule with the following comments. I know this will not be a popular opinion in the league office, but I will continue to stay it because it's obvious we need to play fewer games. We need to take games off the schedule.

I think it would be great for the league. And I get it. It's revenue and you'd have to get everybody to agree to take a little less money. And that's a really hard thing to do. But what I know about the league, about coaching, about how hard it is to play the modern game with the pace and the space, I think it will be a more competitive and healthier league if we played fewer games. So to Kerr's point, NBA teams averaging 115.3 points per game. 15. 115.

5.5 points per game, high since the 67, 68 season. Pace of play. What? What? Since the what season? 6768 season I believe unless my so since the 60s

where was probably a little bit harder because they didn't shoot threes as much so that means those guys ran a lot more miles than this current NBA because they're going from lay up mid range to layer mid range not the long three

to long three also smoking cigarettes at halftime drinking beers working right out of job Doing drugs? No. Turning up. No.

It wasn't a three point line, right? In the three point line when it came in was a lot further. It was 7980 season, I believe it was a three point line from my second. Yeah. But 60s, obviously, mind-aughtering drugs, drinking beers, smoking cigarettes during the game. Was there a lot of injuries then? Probably not. Start, stars.

Historically played more. It was on that stuff. Like this. I mean, there's nobody that day that they was doing that disco biscuit. Yeah. It's been now. That's what, that's what a little dance.

Take a little love. Yeah, that's the hippie time, too. Dude, I'm right. That's what to take the deal to this up. There's no rules back then. No rules. Yeah. So, good, just for contacts.

Yeah, daddy was pipping in the 60s. Man, like, this is what I'm supposed to have a family team. Yeah. He was not. He was big studios. What are those of my family. She was all her. She was telling her.

This is why I can get off of this. I stop making videos. You know, like, you like, one, I'm like, do you think the men care? No. Right? Do you think the women care? No, it's just going to be another one of you.

No one cares. Right? Yeah, the blogs is going to. do what they're going to, we get it, right? What? C. NDA player by the name of Dwight Howard. Right? You see that, man?

As soon as you need. If you go for the bag that, that big? If you go for the bag that big, oh, shit. Low key, we know it came from y'all because you got money to buy that much.

You can sell that that motherfucker fucking be on right there. Oh, God. Oh, God. That bag and be on. Around in the car. Man, that shit was a bag of flour. No, no, I mean, that can only come from that household. Give me $20,000.

And I see that back, said, God. But, but, but. You know what you have been pulled out a little bit of a tinkle and said, this is what me is. I know her DMs is feel. Hey, so what you're going to do with that bag? You're throwing out of what? Where are you throwing out at?

Hey, boy, I know the little head boys was following that truck. They got to move now. They keep a bag. Oh, my God. Oh, they got to move. That man filed for divorce. He sat. He was at the Laker game.

the next day. Just madden like this. On the bill boy, yeah. Don't worry, oh, I got another bag. No, Lakers is funny,

bro. They put them on the bill. Corsod. It is. They have. I'm not going to follow him. Hey, you got something

that shit. You got that bag. You got that bag. You got that day. LA can't a whole that whole run. A whole room. front rolls on a

Hey, that's him on a dragon. Oh, bad. With that bag. It is Thursday in the virtual arena. I didn't know what you get your shit from. I ain't never seen a bag. The fact that the media didn't even care about it, they didn't even look.

That's how you know the world's fucked up. That's how you know all of them on. Yeah. Niggas start talking about the bag, the size of the bag. I don't know that was a big ass assay back. I couldn't believe it.

Listen, no. That's a cartel shit. You got out of the tin and stuff. If she said it's flour, it then you get me like, all right, cool, because it was just way too much from what we've never seen,

like somebody pulled out. I was like, you know, like you keep it in here, where you got a little baggy, a little tin dine. But that much, it's easy to say, And it wasn't like, she didn't retire and knock the bag in the bag.

It's been in the bag in the bag. A bag in the bag. A bag in the bag. I see people in the chat telling me that to get your focus, get your back. Have you not watched this show? Have you not watched this show? We've got like 400-some episodes of this show. That's not a real.

Realistic ass. You know how sick we are that everybody called on when I said, this is what I'm losing my. Y'all already knew what I was. Nose running everything. You just hit a big hit on that. Like, you know how high you got to be. You'll be.

All right. To fill me. No more. You can't. The only is not coming. Light on. too. Not afraid of shit. The light on in the car, everybody.

Are you going to jail? Oh, man. The kids go every, oh, bad. She didn't hit rock bottom. It's over. She didn't hit rock bottom, dog. Oh, yeah, rock. It's over. When they be hitting rock bottom, then we can. When you get him to that,

man, you got to let him go, man. But show, like, when she did it, he's in L.A. So he left a hole. He was at the game. Man favorite after just. Anyway, back to the, Steve Kerr, advocated for the NBA to reduce the schedule,

pace of play. Pete Kurt might be on that shit, too, the way it sound, like you. Be careful, I had that same bag. You need to show him the season. But that's he. Hey, no, all right. All right.

For sure. For so. No, no, I give up. I give up. I'm done. Yeah, be back. Be back, Joe. I mean, his behavior, do.

You could. You could question it. I mean, you could. The nose do be red. Fuck. Man. What's this funny dinner motherfucker? Get in that for Clark.

Clay. You know what, Clay, Clay, he's not even there. It can't start no more. It makes me. Get in. There's something going on. Okay?

All right? It ain't normal. Okay. All right, Joe. My dad. You guys do this to me every day. And every day I come back to this abusive relationship. Hope it will get me.

better. Hope it's great. No, but is Steve Kurt spitting or tripping saying the NBA should play fewer games in the regular season? Mr. B, we'll start with you. Yeah, I'm going to say tripping, and I don't think no owners do that, just off the fact that if you short the season, that means less money, sponsorships probably. I mean, there's 10 games left, so that's still millions of dollars that you're losing.

But I just don't see it happening, just from a business standpoint. Swain. Steve Kurt spitting their trip and saying the NBA should shorten the season. He suggested 10 less games are taking it from 82 to 72. Oh, I don't know. I don't know. So why shortening now because you'll mess up other people's stats? It'd be harder to break records and achieve the goals that, you know, all the greats have, you know, 10 less games. but I don't know. Would it save injuries?

I don't think it's about the amount of games. Just cut back. Yeah. Just cutting back to backs and the four out of six. Yeah. Well, you guys had a much harder schedule, I think back when you guys were playing. But Stars in this decade in the 2020s

are missing on average of like 24 games per season. And that number has gone up, I think, pretty much in every decade. Okay. Now, these injuries are, Are there, they're not contact injuries. Most of these injuries are not contact injuries. So you're saying that you're seeing a huge rise in the hamstring Achilles.

Yeah, but other players and other decades is getting hit by walls. Like you're doing the same thing. The difference, like we're playing back to back. There was a year where you played back to back to back when they were trying to make up games, right? So there was game. There was like a year. They played three games at all. 17 days.

Yeah. So you're getting injured. now, it might be something outside of playing the game itself, right? If you're talking about taking away 10 less games, then history is frozen. Yeah. History is frozen. You're getting into the top 10 of scoring all time is going to be much harder. For sure.

Breaking any record is going to be much harder. You're talking about like hundreds of points off your total every single year. you're never catching anybody. I can tell you this. If they did that, LeBron James, Kareem record, never be broken.

You can't do it, right? Because if you take 10 games off, you've got to add more years to you playing. So both those guys played 20 years. That means you have to play at least 25 years.

Which is crazy. Which is crazy, because we're saying, We're seeing more injuries. We're seeing more injuries, but we're also seeing guys play well into their 30s, mid-30s. Obviously, LeBron, in his case, 40s, still at an extremely high level, KD, Kauai, Hardin. So.

But what I'm saying is, think about LeBron, he's 20 years, right? He played in the era where, and he's been played in the era of where we started. Then you have, he was dominant from the beginning. So you're saying someone with 10 less games, has to catch LeBron and scoring 20 years. That means you have to, he has to play what? It could be done, though. Yeah.

It could be done, though. You can't play 20 and 30 years. No, you can't. When you could do it, I think. No, he can. He's already kind of fucked up because he missed two years. Oh, yeah, yeah. But say somebody like that, if they come in,

all you got to do is average more than LeBron each year. Like, if rookie year, average 20, you average 25. You're catching up already. What, for 30 years? Hold on, hold on. Think about it, LeBron. It's rookie year, he averaged 20. And if you average 25, you're on a projectory to beat him.

Yeah, but who's coming in going to average 25? I'm just saying, that's not, you know. I mean, we average 22 or something like that. I mean, you never know, just I. Somebody average them. But then you'll be able to do that for a 20, 23-year stretch, Mr. B. And then you got to play like 25, like 25. years, though.

Yeah, we know, Luca did that. Luca average, what, 21 did? All right. You're Slovenian now. All right. The 27, what was the totals on here? Hmm? All right.

So we'll say the most he scored in a year was 24, 2478. He played 79 games. All right, so seven less games. Bro, which is not, this is so far off. I know the owners wouldn't be happy. Huh? Let's Brett Achine. You're talking about minus.

You better get your asses and play this 82. The Bruner may play 82 games each year. That's the thing, though. Because if they did less games, does that change the money now? The money aside, like, what do you play? for because there's no more hit you can't touch history right yes you can nobody none of no people play 82 games but no matter if they play 82 games every year lebrown would have broken by the fucking yeah but you also got everybody got a 50 000 right now yeah but your body got

to last though like who body going last for 25 27 years let's 17 games playing 702 games That fucking sounds crazy. I'm thinking about how many years you got to play and be dominant. Because you got to remember, he's been dominant every year he's been in the league. He's the worst year since his rookie year. Damn. Goat. You know, like a goat to me.

77, 69, 76, 74, 82, 55, 65, 67, 47, 47, 47, 47, 45, 65, 45, 55, 55, 56, 45, 56. 55, 71, and the 70, 44 in the last, what, 10 years, imagine he played 82. He didn't play 82 games, and he still broke the record. Because he's been dominating. Like, remember, Kareen falls off at the end. So if you take, here, you take LeBron's,

okay, so here we go. So we got 24, 78, divided by 72 games. Right. Okay. So the, uh, LeBron's third year in the league, right? And this is where LeBron's 30 year in the league, he had 31, right? Mm-hmm. But that person has to play every game and average 34. So basically, like every year, you basically got to average three more points than LeBron with 10 less games.

It's not going to happen. For 20 plus years. No, I mean, it's just, just, just history. just whoever is in the top three in every category, they're going to be forever cemented. No. What do we know? There ain't nobody playing 30 years. 79.

79 games, right? So you just take off seven games. 80 games, you just take off eight games, right? You're still talking about such a high volume of scoring, assist, rebounds, blocks, while you're taking the opportunity away from everybody. Right? Because if you're talking about 72 games,

that means you have to minus LeBron James. God damn. I mean, I didn't add. Because they got to play 72 every year, though. That's what you're not thinking about, too. So you're telling a guy who has to play 72 years for 15, 17 straight years. average in 38.

Like it's just, like I remember doing the math on Michael Jordan. Somebody, if they did it, like they bumped it to 65. If they bumped it to 65, they will have to play.

It was like 15 years, averaging 38 points, not missing the game. Damn. It's like, it's just, it's unrealistic. It's just unfair because I can tell you this,

somebody like John Stockton, you're never going to beat this right? You can't beat that man's record now. Now, 10 less games, and he played all 80. And we have games. You could beat records, man. So the question for you guys, Steve Kerr advocating for a short season. You as players, would you want to play a longer season if it made making more bread, if it mean making more bread?

Like the bread has nothing to do with it because the brood matches the games. So if you got more games, more bread. So $100,000 less or more is going to be the same thing, dollar for dollar. Right? If I make $200,000 a game, I make $200,000 a game more or less. If you're a hooper, you're looking at the stats itself, right? The same reason, remember, I'm in when the ball, the new ball came in. The reason that they didn't want that ball had nothing to do with the arguments they were using. That was just the argument that got passed.

Oh, it's cutting my fingers. There's, oh, no, it was because Cole, Cole, Michael Jordan didn't play with this ball. So don't give me no advantage Michael Jordan than half. Steve Nash, John Stockton didn't, you know, he didn't get extra assists with this enhanced ball. So now when I pass it, they can shoot better to give me more assists. No, that's not fair. And that's the reason the ball got rejected because those guys, they want to actually around their name because they got an enhanced ball.

Players don't want advantages. I want the same shit that they had. Don't give me more minutes. Don't give me less minutes. I give you a three point line. Don't give me more points. Okay. Yeah, and let's shoot more threes.

But we gave it to you. And nobody said shit. Y'all said cool. What's the? No, no. I use this for, I am in. They was using that the hands, when he passes it so much,

his hands blistered. And that's what they were using because they were reaching. Those guys was rejecting the ball, because they didn't want it in hands. Yeah, that ball was nasty, though. Yeah, that ball was good. That ball was nasty.

It was like the, GAA ball. You didn't even play with the ball. No, you did. It was. It wasn't leather like, it was like playing with a college basketball. Yeah. Yeah. That's right, though.

That's the shit with him. It stuck on the rim, so you didn't have to be it. Boom. You know, I'm the game winners I hitting that motherfucker right there, boy. I dropped 60 in that ball. Oh, you're with the new ball. I didn't know that. He wanted that ball.

He wanted the new ball. He wanted the new ball. The ball felt so good, I turned around on it. Oh. Yeah. You live that new ball. Elite. Mm-hmm.

Turn around. I could do 360s with the ball. It wasn't even the first time I turned around. He ain't never did 360, man. He ain't never did it. 360. Listen, go to the game. You go to the

watch a. I never see you do a 360 in the air layup. No, 360. No, that's what I thought you were talking about. That's what I thought you said. I was doing 360s with the ball. Go, three, turn around. I turned around.

I was turning around. Oh, yeah. They just caught it against Utah. Yeah, that was cold. He just caught it against Utah. You better look at that game when it gets Milwaukee. In Milwaukee turned on them. And then at home,

Shot it, Charlie Bell? Oh, turn around what I'm sorry. This is what we do. That ball. That was before my time. That was before my time. Yeah, that cheating ass ball. That's all that.

So what happened when the ball changed? Oh. What happened when the ball changed? Yeah, why happened when the ball change? You could Milwaukee again. What do you think happened with the ball change? Okay, okay. I'm just asking.

I'm just asking. I'm just asking. I'm just asking it under there like, thank you. I just ask you. They're saying. They're not changed, but they just asking. Okay.

Okay, I'm just asking. I knew it was going in there with that ball. I knew I wasn't missing it. So you knew it was going in, but with the new ball, you knew you weren't missing it. Yes. Okay.

I can't argue with that logic. Oh, no, no. I think that when they brought me into the old ball, because I think the old ball came in with back January 1st. Oh, so it was just for the half the season? I think it was five, six. Yeah, it only lasted. It was five,

six, right? It was that year? Yeah, how much would that ball be worth right now if somebody had a signature? I got them. You got that ball? Gil has the balls. I got, I got... You know Gil got everything, though. I was collecting every team's ball then.

What year was that? Oh, four or five. You were just collecting balls. You're just ball collecting balls? You're just ball collecting. The ball collector. Yeah, so they ball, when did the ball change? It changed.

So when you were at, collect the balls. Okay, so yeah, we played in Milwaukee. Yeah, so after the ball change, uh, 32, 35, 33, 23,

20, 23, 17, oh, so I didn't have that ball against Daring, William, 51, yeah, so I didn't have that ball against Darren. I had it against Kobe and Steve Nash. Oh, ooh. Yeah, it came in,

it came in, um, on January, or, on January, because, um, what I had,

to do is I was saying Kobe and Steve Ness. I was saying Kobe and Steve Ness. I was thinking like 200, 300, 300 shots. It was more like Jordan Formar and Steve Match. Helping if motherfuckett

two Nvps got that work, don't get mad at me. It was more like Jordan Swarmour. Jack. John Farmore. Back. You're supposed to act. Hey, I can't help it if these

niggas got busted. They was in my way. How about that? I didn't. Tax. Tax. You know, he, you ego did that

it was far more it was far more you were doing that for the valley you were like this thing I saw Kobe I saw Kobe I like yeah

nobody that's what I said that's what I said Steve Nash okay no but more like Richardson brother

I'm gonna Richardson no no it was uh um um um Raja Bill and Matrix

and Matrix but Steve guys let him do it because he like Steve as that's what this is what Bam needed to say

like don't get mad and me if you don't like me having 83 then somebody go get 84 shit

that's how you talk your shit man if you don't like that I got it for real for real come out and say that

in retirement with my wife and kids to one of you to one of y'all try to be They should say that for real, though. I mean, he can't.

I would, shit. Then I'll be like, I'm going to get my white next. All those shit, all those people only, they're talking crazy. They mad. But the ball, but the ball's episode, you know, missing, taking 10 games off is just, I just, I just want, I don't like altering things. I don't like adding things because people's careers and legacies is on it, right? just like Bill Russell, right?

There's no finals MVP's. Right? It wasn't created in. So when you're judging him, you can't use that against him. Right? You got to,

like, to be fair to Bill Russell, you will have to go to those championship years and see if he would have won finals MVP. How many would he have had? Go through all the stats of his team and say, okay, shit,

he got 11 championships. He would have had nine finals MVP's. You can't use it against them because it wasn't there. But they use 11 rings. I don't care about the 11 rings in any discourse or discussion we ever have. Because you got things that trumping. Oh, scoring titles or six finals MVP. Now, if you say, if you go to him and said yes, he has 11 rings and he would have 11 NBA finals,

that speaks very big values too. But he don't get that on his resume. So, you know, just like the Western Conference Finals MVP, right? you got those now. Like those are just in heighten everybody's careers. But I wouldn't take 10 games off. I'm sorry, I can't do it. I can't.

I can't. I'm a bad player. We're unanimous there. So we got one last thing we got to discuss before we wrap up. Yeah, I mean, Steph three-point shooting getting caught. That's why he's doing it. You ain't catch a step, especially in the way the game's moving now. He could possibly get the way he's doing it is now.

And the way it is now, you got, you got, you. got people who can actually beat it now because they're coming in shooting the same amount of shots that he's shot. Concaniple. Just got to make them, though. Mello. Lamello fastest in 9003s.

Hey. Like I said, you can do it. All right, so we got one last thing we got to discuss. What is that? Hmm? You can do it. Nothing, nothing.

Oh, okay, okay. You're pulling them again? Yeah, you just got to put your mind to it. You can do it. No, because I was looking at Luca and LeBron total points at, like, their first six years or something like that. And Luca had more, so that's what I'm saying. Luca had more total points? Yeah.

And then what happened? I'm just saying you could do it. You got to keep playing, though. You can't, but you can do it, though. I'm trying to look at Ant Man first couple of years compared to LeBron first couple of years. And total points. You could. You just, it's your body.

My, Luca. There's no way. Oh, I mean, well, I don't know. Wait. That's why I was looking at. That's what I was trying to. Yeah. Look at the first.

Oh, no. But then you got to add how many games, too, did they each play? But that's. Because you got to remember, like, you got to do. Luca was the fastest, youngest, fastest person to some numbers. No. He was. No, LeBron, he's in the bronze too?

Three, four, five, six. Luca was something, oh, yeah. Luca was something. It was something. Fastest to five. No, he passed. Yeah, faster than some number. I know he was.

Yeah, I don't know. There's no way, hold on, because LeBron is in the 2000. No, no, he didn't even close to LeBron. Who? In total points in them same years. Let's look at some. Not even close, bro. 2250-2304.

Now, LeBron is probably up almost damn near 3,000 points in those first six years. Damn. 1526 plus 1759. 15.4.0 plus 18, 47 plus 213, plus 21, 38, 233, 233. 70. So Luca, 11,000 points, 11,470. And they ain't got more than in my career. We got one last thing we got to discuss before we wrap up for the week. So Swaggy, recently someone posted a highlight reel of your isolation bag work from your 2010-2011 season with the Wizards. I think that season you average 17 points per game, nearly 32 minutes per game,

44, 39, 82 splits. After seeing the video, you offered these thoughts on Twitter. So you said I would be an all-star in this area. I think you meant era. Top 15 players. But these was considered, so I would be an all-star in this era, top 15 player, but these was considered bad shots back then. The bullets I took from fashion and my shot selection
