You know we couldn't do that on a show. Oh, is that Mike Tyson CBD? It's fake weed, y'all. Even though he don't make CBD.
Starting point is 00:05:33 It's Thursday. It's that spice, whatever. I'm about to swagger dash. All right. We ain't got shit to do. We about to get high today, girl. You know what I'm saying? A little swagger dash.
Starting point is 00:05:43 So let's start the show with a little puff puff pass I'm gonna go around the group which NBA player would you most want to smoke with Brandon? I'm gonna start with you I probably say Pete Maravich and and Kobe Bryant, okay Did it smoke weed no why. Why? Why be nervous? But that's why. Why Pistol Pete? Just because the way he played, and him getting high, I would want to know his thought process like, what made you want to do all that and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I like that. So, Gil, hypothetical. We know until we hit that 10,000 mark on the chat. This might be your first time ever. Hypothetically for you. NBA, Dennis Rodman, and Tim Duncan.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Just so opposite. Just so opposite. I just want to see what the fuck does, what goes through Dennis Rodman's head when he's about to party and the shit he just thinks of?
Starting point is 00:06:47 Click, boom. Click, boom. Rashad. I want to say Gil. Okay. But I'm not. Because we need 10K. Because he's saying, I know he feel like, why don't you just smoke with somebody that's smoking for?
Starting point is 00:07:00 Right? He's like, don't just fucking smoke with me. I ain't never smoked. So I'm going to pick Dikembe Mutombo. You want to know? You need to be around a motherfucker who's going to make you laugh. Now he hit the blunt and started talking that shit.
Starting point is 00:07:16 No, no. Let's sing a whole little karaoke joke, bro. I'm going to be in that bitch. Die, yeah, with Dikembe. No, no, no, no. Yeah, that's my pick. How about you, Mika? Well, I want to pick two female players.
Starting point is 00:07:29 I would like to pick Cheryl Miller and Cheryl Swoops. Okay. Both my favorite players of all time. And since Cheryl Miller's from L.A., I feel like she already smoked. You know what I'm saying? She probably does. She already does. But she already is such a big shit talker.
Starting point is 00:07:42 I think high, she would be even worse. You know? And then Cheryl Swoops is really kind of passive and real chill. And I think smoking with her might turn her up a little bit. So I would like to have real nigga conversations with both of them. Okay. Off a blunt. That would be dope.
Starting point is 00:07:56 I want to hear that. The follow up, which NBA player would you not want to smoke with? Go with you first, Brendan. I don't know. Nobody? I don't know. Like, now come back to me. Come back to me.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Ronnie Brown. I knew that. We already knew that. We knew that was coming. I don't want to hear him talk about Stephen A. Smith, Michael Jordan, motherfucking Matt Barnes, goddamn, for fucking three hours while he's high. Wow. I don't want to hear that shit goddamn motherfucking line about why he was sorry for fucking 20 years.
Starting point is 00:08:32 I'm just saying, it fucks you high up, don't it? Wow. I got a few. What? I'm going to go with Duncan Robinson because you know white dudes, they be smoking too much. He be trying to pull out the four-footer and shit. My lungs already quit for that. My lungs already been, and Dion Wait My lungs aren't built. And Dion
Starting point is 00:08:45 Waiters would be my number two because we already know he like to turn up. Rashad, how about you? Not smoke with? Yeah. Like, they'd be miserable to smoke with. Shaq. Shaq. Shaq play too much, man. Shaq
Starting point is 00:09:02 gonna want to do every joke. He gonna want to prank you. You ain't gonna have no time off. Shaq is wanna do every joke. He gonna wanna prank you. You ain't gonna have no time off. Shaq is one of them niggas that's like, man, would you please get your big ass feet off me? He one of them, like, bro, stop.
Starting point is 00:09:18 So Shaq would be mine for sure. Amiga, how about you? I'm gonna pick Brittany Griner. You wouldn't want to talk about Brittany Griner? No. I wonder if she's traumatized from weed now. Like, after everything she went through, she might not never smoke again. She had a pen in her fucking bag, and she damn near did nine years. I'd probably be scared to smoke weed after that, if I was her. Shit, first thing I'm doing, I touch down in the mirror and get off that plane.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Where's the blood now? We back. We back. I ain't smoked in nine months sitting in that fucking. We back. I ain't smoked in nine months. Sitting in that fucking gulag. I was waiting for you. Ten. Ten.
Starting point is 00:09:50 That's wild. Yeah. You got somebody at Brenner? Yeah, Chris Paul. Chris Paul? What about Clint? Look at his face. Look at his face.
Starting point is 00:09:58 He's like. I don't want to smoke with the State Farm guy. State Farm guy? What about Clint? You don't want to smoke with Clint, baby? Clint Paul can't get it, he's gonna be selling you a whole little package. I know you want this package. Well, now let's shift from smoke on the court, or smoke off the court, excuse me, to smoke on the court.
Starting point is 00:10:18 We gotta talk about these Lakers, man. Here we go again. But before we dive into game two of this Lakers-Grizzlies series, I need y'all to take a look at this. Second quarter, a jump ball between AD and Desmond Bain. Oh, my God. Is that the worst jump ball? Yes. What is that?
Starting point is 00:10:34 What is that? What was it? 420 came a little bit early. That is so ghetto. What is AD doing for real? Damn. Didn't he get hit in the eye, too? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:47 He had a rough one. Goofy, man. Lunsson, baby. Lunsson. But let's talk about the game a little bit. Gil, on Tuesday, you said that Ja was going to need at least a few weeks to fully recover from the hand injury. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:10:56 And there was some speculation that he might come back. They said he did some shooting, some dribbling. But he was out for game two. And the Lakers blew a purple and golden opportunity to go up 2-0 and take a lead back to L.A. Now the series is tied 1-1. After the game, Magic Johnson provided some astute analysis, and only he can, with the following tweet.
Starting point is 00:11:14 I'm going to read it in my magic voice, but I'll take an edit. Lakers had no one to blame but themselves. They didn't come ready to play. That's why they lost 1-1 to 93 to an undermanned Memphis team. Ha, ha. Yo, why do you have that voice? Yo, that's much they lost 101 to 93 to an under man Memphis team haha. Yo, why do you have that voice? Yo, that's much better than last time. That was much better.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I thought I was going to fuck it up. Where'd you pull that from? I just do voices back in my day. Hey, that was really good though. I go around the house talking like magic sometimes. Damn, magic? You talk like that for real? I will.
Starting point is 00:11:41 So Gil, question for you. Will Ja play another game in the first round? And if he does, how effective can he be with that janky hand? Man, fuck all that. Lakers and foe still. All right? Lakers and foe. How?
Starting point is 00:11:53 Huh? How? I don't even count that game. That game don't count? Because I didn't watch it, so I don't even count it. That's why we want to know right now. We got two at the house, baby. That's why we don't count the bubble.
Starting point is 00:12:03 That's exactly why we don't count the bubble. Bubbles,'s exactly why we don't count the bubbles bubbles like that like that yeah baby um listen you know we did what we we had to do go up there get a win right that's what we you know as a road team that's what your job is you know trying to get you know two you know it's it was possible for us we had a chance but we didn't so but you know going back home we should should be happy with the results that we went and took one in Memphis, one of the hardest places to play in the playoffs. Brent, how are you feeling about that game, too? No job seemed like a perfect opportunity. And they kind of tricked it.
Starting point is 00:12:37 They were blowing shots. Probably tired a little bit from the playing games and getting game one. Game one is the one you really want to get to set the tempo so But I still got the Lakers in six I'm taking them in six just cuz we know jaw And Austin Reeves is playing good. So six. Yeah, and then six Are you know?
Starting point is 00:12:59 Man, it's small energy things. Look he don't like this Energy things change the dynamic of a game, right? Dylan Brooks calling out LeBron, forcing a whole new dynamic of a controversial matchup, right? It's taking the energy off of what needs to be done. Get the fucking job done. Lakers, stop
Starting point is 00:13:18 coming in here, fucking around, giving them life. When you give them life, they come up here and they fuck up the whole surgery. You're trying to get your shit right so that you get to the next round and you ain't got to worry about no setbacks. Right? Now, what you're doing is you're fucking around with some, let's just say, lower tier level talent that can come in and compete and beat your ass and knock you out the playoffs. It's 1-1, right?
Starting point is 00:13:41 LeBron Impost will come in, take two, come back home, take two. Like you said, Lakers info. We shouldn't even be talking about this game tomorrow Now let's say they come in and the Lakers and win that ain't gonna happen. Let's say they do Right now we talk about panic mode now panic without jaw Without job without Steven without the other kid Brian Number 15 number 15 Steven, without the other kid, Brian. You don't even know their names. You don't even know their names. Number 15.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Number 15. Clark. You don't even know their names. Number 15. Number 15. Without him. So it's like, to me, it's like you look at the dynamic of what the Lakers are doing. They're giving life to a team that can beat them without three-tier players.
Starting point is 00:14:19 And competitively, it's like it's too much of a risk. The Grizzlies didn't have John Moran, but the Lakers didn't have Shannon Sharp either for these first two games. Facts. With the blue card. Facts. This would go down in the game. Ooh, game three.
Starting point is 00:14:32 But they did have LeBron James and Anthony Davis. We didn't have Anthony. Well, me and my friends were talking about how they had four games off. Like nobody else really had that. You guys noticed that? They haven't played in four days. And for me, I think that that much time is not good I don't like that much time off especially when I won a game the way I did you want to want that
Starting point is 00:14:53 momentum to continue and then you find out jobs not playing everybody relaxed and like whoa we could just beat them he had four days no that's why they should have played like two days later maybe three three. You got to keep going. You got to strike all the irons. I hate when players are out because I feel like my team always takes it easy because somebody is not out. Like, no, fucking kill them. And you had to spend that time in Memphis, too.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Yeah. I know, right? They could have flew home and flew back. They had this offense so long. You're like that Memphis song when they was playing, whoop that trick in the arena. Yes, yes. That's playoffs.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Yeah. That's playoffs. Everybody's one. I am, too. No, no, no. What we're going to do is, hey, all the Cleveland fans, listen, the Cleveland fans, that when Deshaun Stevenson said LeBron was overrated, I need y'all to come on and fly down to L.A. and then do what y'all did to us when we was trying to go out in
Starting point is 00:15:46 the malls and stuff. Y'all was hackling us. We couldn't buy shit. We need those fans for Dylan Brooke when he gets here. We don't want him to go to no dinners, no clubs, no nothing. Make sure he stays in that room suffering. Do you think he'll be out on the streets when he
Starting point is 00:16:02 comes out here? It's L.A., man. Yes, everybody else has. If he was on the streets when he comes out here? It's LA, man. Yes, everybody else has. Hey, listen, if he was on the Cavs, and he said that shit, oh, he was not going to move. Yeah. What is there to do in Cleveland, though? It don't matter. Them fans is crazy. Yeah. They don't take disrespect to
Starting point is 00:16:16 the king. And Dylan got a fresh perm. You know what I'm saying? I'm coming out here. Y'all, did you see he lined his edges up and everything? I can tell you this. If I'm Le out here. Did you see he lined his edges up and everything? I can tell you this. If I'm LeBron, first 10 plays, I'm not passing. I'm calling him.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I'm doing this. Come here. I'm doing this. Come here. First 10 plays. Yeah, I'm calling him. First 10 plays. Is LeBron built like that?
Starting point is 00:16:38 I don't care. No. I don't care. That's my man right there. He know what I know. He know what I know. That's wishful thinking. It is wish what I know. He know what I know. That's wishful thinking. It is wishful thinking, but that's what should happen.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Every time I play him, I'm giving him 50. 8 for 10. Every time. 8 for 10. 8 for 10. 8 for 10. 8 for 10. All drives.
Starting point is 00:16:56 First 10 positions. All drives. He's getting two fouls. All drives, two fouls. Yeah, two fouls. That's all he's looking for is two fouls. All drives, two fouls. Two fouls, get him out.
Starting point is 00:17:02 I like that. I like that. 8 for 10. 8 for 10. All layups. I like that. I like that. Eight for ten? Eight for ten. All layups. And then give his sub for you. The reason I'm giving him two shots is because he's going to take jump shots in between.
Starting point is 00:17:10 But see, I say the same thing about LeBron. Why don't you play like that every night? 38. It's bad basketball if we can't win the round. First ten possessions. It's bad basketball. Two fouls, go to the bench. I'm taking a break.
Starting point is 00:17:22 He's coming back. It's bad basketball to do that. He did that shit when he was in his early 20s. Is there a handicap league for 38 back. It's bad basketball. He did that shit Don't matter if he 42 you still gotta do the same shit not letting a 42-year-old man With this this is a thing like Has anybody would anybody even say that to, like, Jordan or Kobe? Would anybody say, like, he got to give me 40 for me to respect him? I would. No, no, no, they tried Jordan.
Starting point is 00:17:52 I would. But did they say something like that specific? Like, he got, Jordan got to give me 40 before I respect him. Some, some do. I mean, Reggie. Reggie, yeah, they tried. Reggie Miller. Listen, it didn't work.
Starting point is 00:18:04 They got 40, 50. Oh, they got it. He got it. Is that the point, though? Yeah. To Reggie Miller. Listen, it didn't work. Let me tell you that. They got 40, 50. Oh, they got it. Ain't that the point, though? Yeah. To call them out to see if it works? See what you're going to do, yeah. Yeah, I want to see if you got 40 and you to put on my, you give me the 40, I've got respect for you, bro.
Starting point is 00:18:15 He's getting 35, 10, and 8. Let me see. That's reasonable. Let's talk about these Grizzlies a little bit. Grizzlies improved. They're going to be on vacation. You tried that? No, no, I'm saying Dylan Brooks.
Starting point is 00:18:26 They finna be on vacation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He done fucked up the king. So Grizzlies improved to 15-5 this season when wearing their City jerseys. If y'all remember back in the bubble. City girls jersey? City. Girls.
Starting point is 00:18:36 I'll leave that to you, Gil. I don't have no plans of being in Memphis anytime soon. So you can get that slander out. See the girls, I don't take no shit. Got it? Okay. But if y'all remember back in the bubble 2020, Lakers was rocking the black mama jersey.
Starting point is 00:18:49 They went four and one. So I want to ask y'all, was there ever a jersey that you played great in that you looked forward to rocking because you knew you were going to get buckets in it? Yes. That gold joint. The gold joint with the black shorts.
Starting point is 00:19:01 If I had that jersey on, I averaged 37. Y'all was getting that business. I don't know why. I tried to wear that motherfucker every game. I averaged 37 in that jersey. What was it about that jersey? I don't know. You just put it on.
Starting point is 00:19:14 I don't know. When I put it on, we was always on like ABC, ESPN. Boy, got that business. That was 54? 60 against... That was... You was getting fucking worked. Worked.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Brent, how about you? I think our home jerseys. The home bucks? Yeah, the home bucks. Regular ass jersey. Yeah, the white ones. I mean, anybody come to Milwaukee, you know what time it was. You know what time it was.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Oh, it was white, you know. I ain't got too many. And we ain't got that many colors. Oh yeah. Green, red. I averaged what? Off the bench, I gave a couple niggas 30. I gave a couple niggas 30.
Starting point is 00:19:42 I gave a couple niggas 30. I gave a couple niggas 30. I gave a couple niggas 30. I gave a couple niggas 30. I gave a couple nigg in the ring red. I have it but off the bench I gave a couple niggas 30 off the bench before. Oh, so you was a home y'all some home niggas. Yeah, I was a home. Yeah, I love home. Yeah, I love playing at home. Yes, that gold was home that go.
Starting point is 00:19:58 I mean that gold was role games. See we had that we just had like white green and red. Yeah, it wasn't like- Oh, y'all didn't have that third- Like no third alternate. Oh, y'all didn't have the alternate. Yeah, like how they had white, black, and blue. Yeah, I can't answer that question.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Oh, y'all didn't have the new one. All right, me either. I was wondering what was going on right here. Yeah, that's why I said that gold was random. That was rare. Yeah, that was that random. Bulls had a red and blue one. What about those UNC jerseys?
Starting point is 00:20:21 What did it feel like? Oh, the throwbacks was my thing. I mean, I feel like anytime any Jersey y'all wore With the J. I mean it was just like the throwback was special. He's going to college Yeah, yeah, he's Arizona too. Yeah, look at him. No, no Can't compare no, no when we wore the red we wore the red joints We actually took out we love the red joints in Arizona but we took L's in that Jersey we took L's did y'all wear that against UCLA we got our number one
Starting point is 00:20:49 yeah I came in probably we always lost in a red jersey we just hate it we that shit look fire though but we took L's every single time yeah let's talk about these grids a little bit there I think they're quickly becoming one of the most disliked teams in the league one anonymous NBA player had this to say about the grind City crew he said they're front runners they're quickly becoming one of the most disliked teams in the league. One anonymous NBA player had this to say about the Grind City crew. He said, they're frontrunners. They're just extra. They talk when they're winning. They don't say shit when they're losing.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Their whole thing over there is just annoying. So let's talk about probably the most annoying man on that team, Dylan Brooks. He was extradited out in game two. Got into it with LeBron during the game. We talked about this a little bit earlier, but he had some more smoke for the 38-year-old LeBron after the game. I don't care. He's old.
Starting point is 00:21:30 You know what I mean? I was waiting for that. I was expecting him to do that game four, game five. He wanted to say something when I got my fourth foul. He should have been saying that earlier on. But, you know, I poke bears.
Starting point is 00:21:47 I don't respect no one until they come and give me 40. So it should be noted that Dylan Brooks is a big-time LeBron fan. Back in like 2012, 2013, all his tweets were talking about how much he loves LeBron. And he talked about the 40 piece. Only two players gave the Grizzlies 40 this season. That was Damian Lillard and Paul George. Brooks also said that he would have loved the guard, Cleveland or Miami, Bron, because it would have been a harder task. He ain't lying about that. It would have been harder. We ain't lying about that. So should Dylan Brooks be poking the proverbial bear that is LeBron James? And could this
Starting point is 00:22:22 be considered elder abuse? No, I mean, when you're trying to test... Team effort. Team effort. It's a senior citizen abuse. Team effort. When you're trying to be great in your craft, I mean, you do really want the best out of the guy you're guarding. So I understand what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:22:44 He's trying to really define himself as a defensive stopper. So, you know, poking, poking, you know, the great scores that he has to guard so they can give him his all so he can really test his defensive skills.
Starting point is 00:22:59 I get it. What? The locker room, right? That shit look outdated. That look like y'all didn't, you're supposed to have computers and shit. That shit look like it's fucking early 2000s, right? That shit look like from his early 2000s.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Yeah, like LED lights, no LED lights. Yeah, yeah, come on, man. Y'all supposed to be updated, man. Come on, God damn. I'm looking at like, is that the road locker room or is that the home locker room? That's baller for Memphis Dylan Brooks is a young guy, right? No, he's been in like six years
Starting point is 00:23:32 Okay, but that's still young right like honestly if if let's say LeBron does give him 40 Let's say it gives him 40 the rest of the series. They win. Nothing happens to Dylan Brooks There's nothing like it not going to change his career per se. How? It is. How? You got 40 pieces against a 38-year-old nigga. But that still doesn't change anything. I still feel like Memphis is still going to do whatever
Starting point is 00:23:56 they're going to do next year. It's not going to change much. He can say all that shit. It doesn't change his career. When he says it and LeBron doesn't do it, if the Lakers do lose, then it's like a big deal But the leg is going like we all believe they're gonna beat them. Nothing happens. Like you just move on Something does happen When you try to validate yourself as a defender or offensive player and you call out whoever you call out, you don't deliver, now you look like the guy we don't trust.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Right? We don't trust your word. Now you can't call out nobody else. He just put 40 on your head all series. After you came out and said, I don't respect nobody until you give me 40. Now the reason y'all lost the series is because you called out the nigga that was sleeping.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Okay. LeBron was sleeping. You let him sleep and you're going to have poking bears. But next year, everyone forgets about this, in my opinion. Oh, no. Sorry. We're going to have the same boat again. The same boat again next year.
Starting point is 00:24:53 The culture we got, who forgets? They don't forget. I mean. No, she's right. Yes. When you think about Patrick Beverly, Patrick Beverly calls out everybody. He gets that, but he just goes on to the next person. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:03 He just goes on to the next person. Yes. Yeah's like. He just goes on to the next person. Yeah, but Pat Beverly, though, he actually. Pat Beverly is better than Dylan Brooks. And he backs it up. Defensively? Like, I just. Defensively? I'd rather have Patrick Beverly than him.
Starting point is 00:25:15 No. No. Defensively or. Just as a player on my team. No, I'm cool. Patrick Beverly makes the playoffs. Every year. Almost every year. I mean, he does his job. He's loud, but. But, I'm cool. Man, Patrick Beverly makes the playoffs almost every year.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I mean, he does his job. He's loud, but what I'm saying is he gets his ass busted. Yeah, every, all the time. But you don't pay attention to it. We don't care. Because he just moves on. Yeah, he just moves on. But like Draymond, he's like these guys.
Starting point is 00:25:36 He's going to keep talking shit no matter what. Yeah. Yeah, but he's light skinned. He's the older, right? You know what I'm saying is, if Pata say something, you'll give him 48. And then nobody cares. And then he gets one stop.
Starting point is 00:25:45 And then he's celebrating like he just stopped you. Yes. But that's how he offsets that being a long viral moment. That's how he offsets that, right? Right. He goes, ah, stop. But Dylan not doing that. So if he gets clipped for 40, it's clipped for 40.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Every time you say something, it's like, oh, do you not remember this clip for 40? Everybody has a short memory. People move on so fast with stuff. I like Dylan. We're putting the poll up. Who would you rather have? Pat Bever, Dylan Brooks? Chad, go ahead and answer. We're going to see what they have to say. But for all of y'all, if you're LeBron, you got a light-skinned Canadian dude with a perm
Starting point is 00:26:17 talking this reckless at you. Does that add any more fuel to the fight? Yes, make it easy. You're supposed to bust Canadian. That's why he's done. That's why it's over for him. Now I really got to bust it it like I gotta do it now like I have to do it and this is not xenophobic But if you can add in your neighbor from the north Dr. James Mason this book was Canadian. I think he invented basketball. So what you can't come talking that shit I think there's just some little extra on it. You gotta be What's his ass? Can we hold you can't say a boot?
Starting point is 00:26:43 Why we got a LeBron count all the time? Because if he don't do what he need to do... The win is more important. Just win it. They'll rank 3. So if he doesn't get the win and he doesn't hit 40, what are we looking at?
Starting point is 00:26:59 We're not gonna stop with all that. I'm not sure about the 40. I mean, 30 is fine. But with the win... It sure about the 40. I mean, 30 is fine. Yeah, me personally, I think. Like, 30 is fine, but with the win? The win. But look, it's about the challenge that's been initiated. Because you can lose. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:27:12 We're not going to take no challenge. If you go 50, we lose. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not going to challenge you. You look stupid. You look dumb. You look dumb. You go 50, but you lose.
Starting point is 00:27:20 You look dumb. That's what's going to happen. No, but that's what it'll say. He's going to look dumb. He could have been like, yeah, I made that nigga play bad basketball. If I make him shoot all the balls, and we won this game. Yeah, that's how you're going You look dumb. That's what's going to happen. No, but that's what it'll say. He's going to look dumb. Dylan Brooks could have been like, yeah, I made that nigga play bad basketball. If I make him shoot all the balls and we won this game. Yeah, that's how you're going to do it. Yeah, he's stupid.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Idiot. But look, what happened last night, though? The challenge was initiated, and who won? No, it was initiated after. It was initiated after. In the middle. Third quarter. He said, after my fourth foul, you started talking trash.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Dylan Brooks was going. Like, third quarter, bro. It was third quarter. When he said, you got to give me four, that was after the game. But y'all were still lost. Dylan Brooks was hitting up with the stare downs you started talking trash. Dylan Brooks was going at it. Like third quarter, bro. It was third quarter. When he said he got to give me four, that was after the game. But Dylan Brooks was hitting up with the stare downs, with the trash talk. But first of all, who is your fucking team? I don't got no damn team. See, that's why.
Starting point is 00:27:53 But it ain't the Lakers. But it ain't the Lakers. Come back home. It ain't the Lakers. Come back home. Man, he ain't got no goddamn team. No team. He got a team.
Starting point is 00:28:00 It's just they in the playoffs. I like players. I like the players. I go for the players. He just ain't in the playoffs The Lakers win this series can I wear that crown? Oh, come on. Why not? Let's go cuz I'll get you your own crown You can't Got no job I got no. That's not a bet.
Starting point is 00:28:26 I got no job. I got no job. I'm behind the ball right now. Y'all ain't about to put this pressure on me. Why don't you pick the Lakers? Why don't you pick the Lakers? What you mean? Because the Lakers got a full roster.
Starting point is 00:28:33 They got everything they need. They should not be struggling. Here he goes. We're dealing. Lakers should not be struggling. We're dealing. We're not. We're not struggling.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Y'all just lost. Now, that was a road game. It was a road game. Yeah. That's a seven-game series. You're making excuses, Lakers fans. You're supposed to sweep them? No. Y'all just lost. Now that was a road game. It was a road game. Yeah. That's a seven game series. You making excuses, Laker fans. You supposed to sweep them?
Starting point is 00:28:48 No. You supposed to win. You supposed to win. It's a seven game series. Especially with three starters, two starters out. That ain't even your camera no more. That's your camera. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:57 We'll take wherever the camera is at. Wherever the camera going to be. Wherever the camera going to be, it's on me. That's all it matters. Wherever the camera going to be. Let's go. On this show, we don't make bets. We just pick.
Starting point is 00:29:06 We do pick. We just do pick them. Okay. Higher or lower. I pick you can't wear that goddamn crown. The next series. If y'all make it to the next series, I'll put the crown on the line. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:16 That's fine. On the next series. No, not the next series. This one. Yeah. Bresha, we'll start with you, Gil. What are the actual chances that LeBron will drop a 40-piece in this series? Hey, someone put something in here
Starting point is 00:29:27 Cuz I'm getting hot What was your question again? What is the chance that LeBron James will drop 40 points at least one time in this series? Will it matter? He shouldn't have to. I mean, giving us about 25 to 35
Starting point is 00:29:58 is what he should be doing. And, you know, 80 and Russell's supposed to be carrying their own weight. Last night kind of looked like how when Kobe had the 81, right? And then Kwame Brown only had like two points and then Smush Parker. That's what it looked like yesterday with LeBron and then like AD and Russell. They just didn't show the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:30:24 That's what that looked like. That's two games in a row. What about the screen? You just go full circle. LeBron and then like AD and Russell they just they just didn't show the fuck up Who the fuck's just brags about setting fucking screens all day some of us, you know who said screen So I'm like really base. Yeah, I said like 85 screams Try to get you open to get shot I took the ball out of bounds like that's shit. You don't brag about bad. I took the ball out of bounds. That's the shit you don't brag about, man. I took the ball out of bounds every time. No turnovers either. Them two need to step up and we good. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:30:54 DeAngelo really needs to- 17 to 28, we good from them two. So let's talk about Anthony Davis a little bit. Why? Because we have to. Gil's arena. You brought it up. He's adding years to LeBron's fucking life, like the way he's playing.
Starting point is 00:31:07 He's getting on my nerves. He's killing us. Struggled in game two, four for 14, started one for nine, finished with 13 points, nine rebounds, five blocks. And sadly, he got cooked by Xavier Tillman. Didn't want to see. It was painful to watch. Gave him that 22 and 13.
Starting point is 00:31:21 So AD acknowledged his disappointing performance saying, obviously I can be better, can't have a night like I had tonight and expect us to win. But what's the deal with AD? It seems like we're constantly talking about this. We're waiting for him to make that breakthrough. He shows flashes and then he's back to this bullshit. I'm going to need you to... No, I think something's in my brain.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Touch your nose and give me the ABC's back when you walk this line. I feel like every game is something different. It's a different vibe every game. It's not consistent. It's always something different. I think he needs to try to figure out ways to get easy buckets early. Then once he hits the floor a couple times or something, he's tweaking something. We all get scared. It's always like, oh shit, or something, like, he's tweaking something. Y'all get scared.
Starting point is 00:32:05 It's always like, oh shit, here we go. And then it's like something bad. So you got to find a way to be, just keep it consistent more in the beginning. I call him half man, half a season. And is that rude? That was rude? Say it again, half man, half a what? No, no, that's you.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Half man, half a season. I mean, I'm a Laker fan and I thought him coming here was going to relieve some stress and take a lot of stress off LeBron for him to take over as the one player and he hasn't he just hasn't done that and every time he falls he's out
Starting point is 00:32:38 like his body's made of paper mache I'm sick of the shit and now then he got the nerve to always want to try to be a guard. Like sometimes when you're not on, you got to get your ass down in the post, get some easy buckets, get some fouls, get some free throws so you can get your rhythm before you start shooting on these jumpers and doing all this goofy shit that is not important to us winning this game.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Get him. Get his ass. Bingo, you came with the smoke before it's running. I'm going to be real. Get his ass. There's no paper mache. Hell yeah. Get his ass. Vico, you came with the smoke before 20. I'm going to be real. There's no paper mache. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Get his ass. But to your point, it seems like every single game, it's painful to watch. He'll take a poke to the... The man... And it's like, a lot of times, it's not his fault. But it's a poke to the eye, a janky landing. How the fuck do you get poked in the eye? You're the tallest man on the court.
Starting point is 00:33:18 And he's 7'9". Like, gosh, damn. With his janky-ass jump balls. He wasn't supposed to be that tall. Remember, he had a gross first. Oh, yeah, you did. You're right. Oh, God. Everybody's supposed to be that tall. Remember, he had a gross first. Oh, yeah, you're right. He wasn't supposed to be that tall anyway, so his bones is fragile.
Starting point is 00:33:31 It looked like he's still figuring his body out even to this extent. That's a shame. That's a shame. He wasn't supposed to be that tall. Oh, no. I mean, when he was on the Pelicans, he was nice. Yeah, he was. None of this shit was happening when he was down there. I don't watch a ton of Pelicans games, so it wasn't like the end of it.
Starting point is 00:33:44 That man was in that motherfucker throwing lobs, 360, lobs, everything. I was hyped when we got him. Now, I don't give a fuck what happens. We can win the championship this year. He got to go. He got to go. We can't keep him? Can't trust him.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Can't trust him. Can't trust him. Can't trust him. Trust him. That's tough. See, I said the same thing. It all depends. If he starts giving us 40 the rest of this tournament, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:06 You might change your mind. But look, where is the 40 going to come from? Is it going to come from him knowing he's playing against a Tillman and he should have 40? Like you said earlier, the whole team took the gas off because it's like no Ja, no problem. But then you come in, it's like the one guy we know should dominate because there ain't no bigs to fucking stop you is AD.
Starting point is 00:34:28 You should take that Jaron Jackson matchup more to heart. You got the defensive player to you. You got a chance to invade him in the first round. Defense where? I mean, but the Lakers have been like this all year. It's been like this all year. It's because he didn't have men. Oh, man, we got one win up there, man.
Starting point is 00:34:43 God damn, we got one win up there. We got one win up in that boring-ass Memphis. Now we're coming home to L.A. See, the Memphis boys, what's happening, the Memphis boys is going to come here and they're going to do all that silicone. They're going to be messing with the silicones and all that plastic surgery that's
Starting point is 00:34:59 up in Hollywood and they're going to fuck their game up, I'm trying to tell you. Yeah. Plastic Barbies and all that, yep. So how can I be fine? Well, they don't come down here. Yes They probably already here. They probably already here because if I was playing we already here soon as the game Flew already here. So ain't no focus after the win for Memphis to come in here and steal one, right? It's a coach, bro. Right? Like, hey, coach, man, it'd be better if we just go straight there instead of coming
Starting point is 00:35:28 here tonight and then, you know. No. After, we're here, we sit in L.A., we rest, we get our bodies, jet lag. You know, you can talk to coaches. They stupid. Like, jet lag, coach, and then you can go to the restaurant and get your little food, and we would have just been. I'm pretty sure they just flew the fuck out.
Starting point is 00:35:43 But don't they have a curfew because of joy anyway, no no I got a curfew But he was that's what he was playing, but I got a curfew y'all got a curfew. But wait, I wouldn't want to be on punishment Cuz that nigga fucked up Don't work both ways though, like we really trying to go up there and steal one just like you guys did still one No, I'm talking about y'all stole one in Memphis, right? The whole mentality for us at Memphis is to come in LA and still what are you? You used to be a Lakers fan. You need somebody. You got to gang up on me. So look, don't it work the same, right? If it's like we can get one win in L.A., like we did our job.
Starting point is 00:36:34 But it wasn't. Listen, Ja went to the strip club in Denver. Woo! We got Sams over here, boy. Hey, hey, we got Sams. And it's right down the street. Yeah, right down the street, we got Sam's right down the street. Yeah right down the street boy Oh Memphis Memphis you ain't never been beat you didn't I played there. Did you come out? Did you come outside? Yes, you went out this one. It's one street. You got Beale Street Everything else is a ghost town. I had, there's malls
Starting point is 00:37:06 downtown that was shut down. Empty. Like it was motherfucking, like it was like COVID. Like it was COVID. You went to Beale Street? No, we went where it was popping. Where they was popping it. It was popping it. Memphis? Memphis. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:22 I've been to Memphis several times. No one does the three M's, bro. No one does the three M's, bro. No one does the three M's. Michigan? Yep. Memphis? What's the last one? Minnesota or something?
Starting point is 00:37:34 No, what is it? Memphis? Milwaukee? That's what it was. No one rolls out. Yo, it ain't shit going on in Milwaukee. I was hanging out with the Tony Allis. Z-Bowls now?
Starting point is 00:37:44 See, they was the ones that was like, oh, we going to find. It's plenty to do. I'm not going nowhere with Z-Bo and Tony Allen. Hood boogers. We with the hood boogers all night. See, you let Bernie stab wounds. All that. So you can't say it ain't popping in Memphis if you're with the wrong people.
Starting point is 00:37:59 You got to be with the right people. And the strippers got bullet holes. Tony Allen going to show you a good time in Memphis. Let me tell you something. I went to a strip club with a hood dude once. The stripper themselves eating fried chicken stripping. On the pole with a chicken. In the middle of the strip club.
Starting point is 00:38:13 This is what? That's sexy. That's sexy. That's a tip. That's a tip. That's a tip. Grease that pole up. Grease that pole up.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Grease that pole up. Grease that pole up. I saw a pregnant stripper in a hood strip club. Pregnant. She had a four- to five-month pregnant belly still stripping in a hood. Memphis, rent-a-bay. Rent-a-bay. We support local community.
Starting point is 00:38:37 We got rent-a-bay. But let's talk a little bit about D'Angelo Russell now. Solid game one, but he followed that up going two for 11, five points a game, too. After the game, he was asked, what can he do as a point guard to get AD more involved? He got a little salty about that. He said, I'm a basketball player. You can't keep saying point guard.
Starting point is 00:38:56 I'm a basketball player. So I want to ask y'all, what's D'Lo's role with this Lakers team? Do him. First of all, I would have been pissed off, too. Like, get him going? Bitch, what about me? I just had a bad night my goddamn self. You know what I mean? I just had a bad
Starting point is 00:39:12 night. My job is not to get him going while I'm having a bad night too. It's that idea of pure point guards. Anthony Davis is a talented individual. He should have already understand how to get going himself. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Right? You demand the ball. You get your man and you do what you do. Isos, whatever you need to do to get your shit going. Going to the offensive glass. Like, you're a professional. You're a first ballot Hall of Famer. You're top 75 and we're having this fucking discussion about get him going?
Starting point is 00:39:44 You're top 75 and we're having this fucking discussion about get him going your top 75 Well, you know what already one of the things I noticed about him when I watch him He always takes a three early in the game And I feel like if he misses or something like he's off mentally like it feels like His first shot got to go in and it doesn't need to be a three anymore Like he need to realize like he could get something to the basket, you know, a 15-footer or something. But I notice that every time he doesn't start off well, it's done. Like, the game be done.
Starting point is 00:40:10 So he needs to start off well. Like, hit his first shot, first or second shot or something, get it going early, and then his mental is, it seems like it's okay. I think, like, with him, having a mentality of a scoring big is important because he would think like that. He would think, let me get an easy one early. Let it not be a settled three. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:31 So if I'm settling on my three, then I know that if I do miss it, I'm in my head, like you said. But if I get my easy shots, a little and one quick little couple layups and transition. Now you got the momentum to say as a score. Oh, I'm feeling it. You know what I'm saying? Now the little shit is going in. It's not supposed to go in usually when you're just throwing shit up. It's like, okay, I got something going now.
Starting point is 00:40:58 But I don't see him asserting himself offensively for a feel of the game. He's just kind of out there trying to figure out who's going to be hot. So I'm going to reserve myself because Brian hot or Austin hot. Instead of demanding himself to be the go through me. He is the guy. Come through me and then y'all get y'alls when I'm not getting mine. And that. When they adjust. I thought he would take that role like KG used to do.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Like that's how KG played. Tim Duncan played all the scoring big. Shaq, throw it in. Play off me. First five plays. He's coming to me. And once they adjust then you start moving the ball around everybody else start eating I think it's I think
Starting point is 00:41:30 it's still chemistry him getting traded later in the season still trying to figure it out so he's trying to he's in a rush like he's trying to get himself going early faster um but as a point guard I still feel like you should get 80 involved first a little early then he'll be able to open them up some shots easier easier shots. So he won't be taking those early threes and things like that. I mean, as a point guard, he is the point guard. You do have AD down there, so I do think it is important. You do got to get him going early.
Starting point is 00:41:56 LeBron is the point guard. Well, it'll just open up the floor for him better. So he's not taking those one or two threes early. Now it ain't going in. Now, shit, all right, now I got to try to be a point guard. No, just come out there, get it early, boom. What I'm saying is when Russell was here, they didn't want that. They didn't want someone who's trying to pass on the ball.
Starting point is 00:42:13 We got D'Lo because D'Lo can spread the floor because LeBron's the point guard. So they should be asking, who the fuck asked that question? Yeah, but Russell- He ain't not allowed. You're not allowed. Listen, you're not allowed to be in a locker room fucking with the players No more. Yeah, you look goddamn with point guard that bullshit Russ and D'Lo two different point guards But I'm what I'm saying is we got rid of the guy who was
Starting point is 00:42:33 sacrificing passing Who's there to just make open shots? So LeBron is is the point so that's what LeBron's goddamn question That's a bra. Well, that's how do we get ad involved? Well, that's why the Lakers are struggling LeBron's the point guard LeB's LeBron's goddamn question. That's LeBron. How did we get AD involved? Well, that's why the Lakers are struggling. LeBron's the point guard. LeBron's been a point guard for 19 years. Not really. He's led his team in assists 19.5 years.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Point guard is bringing up the ball. 19.5 years. As a follow-up to that, you got D-Lo basically playing for a bag, playing for a potential extension with the Lakers. Is he showing you enough as Lakers fans, minus Rashad, to warrant that? Or, you know, we've heard Kyrie's name mentioned. We've heard other names mentioned. Would you keep him around for next year?
Starting point is 00:43:16 Does he need to get it together? I thought we answered that. We answered that, yeah. We already – He's gone. We said Kyrie, then he threw in Dame, and I'm like, who? Dame. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Kyrie, of course. I don't think we're going to get Kyrie. I don't think it's going to happen. But Dame, I think that's a possibility. We can trade everybody. Just keep AD and LeBron, and then we'll figure it out. No, we can get rid of AD. I don't.
Starting point is 00:43:39 I'm done. We can't get rid of AD. I've seen enough. We can't get rid of AD. We can't get rid of LeBron at 38. Oh, no. Yo, we. We can't get rid of AD. We got to figure something of it. We can't get rid of it. We can't get rid of Ron at 38. Oh, no. Yo, we can't get rid of 80. We got to figure something out.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. He got to show me. He's only like 28, right? He got to. He's so young. He got to show something.
Starting point is 00:43:53 He's only like 29. He got to show something, bro. Ron is nine years older than him. Come on. Damn. Come on. He got to do it. 80, 30.
Starting point is 00:44:02 You just turned 30 in March. I'm sick. I am sick to my stomach. He's like a whole 30, though. got to do it. Eddie's 30. You just turned 30 in March. I'm sick. I am sick to my stomach. He's like a whole 30, though. Hold on. His body is 40. D-Lo, if he not giving us the 20 and 8, you got to get him out. 20 and 8?
Starting point is 00:44:15 I'm just, we said it. With LeBron. You don't need 8. And Anthony Davis on the team said earlier. Can it be 17 and 8? No, but y'all just said earlier 18 and 25 from D'Lo and Anthony Davis. No, no, I was saying Max D'Lo at 18. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Not giving us 20 and eight. That's two more. I'm just giving you two more points. I'm giving you two more points. Eight assists. Who the hell had a ball like that at half eight assists? I'm just saying. We don't even need eight assists.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Facilitate. Maybe he not shooting enough if he can eight assists. No, I'm saying he's just actually hooping. He's hooping. At this point, he's losing himself in the game. He's going out there and he's hooping. Now, D-Lo thinking about doing that. Three-four, five.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Three-four, six, max, five. If he's thinking about it, right? If he's thinking about three, four, five assists, max, he's in his head as a player. He's not going to get to the 20. I 20 I hate him shooting yeah just shoot and that opens up the other two hit the open shots that's all he needs to do hit the open shot I need this hit to the back but that's not coming from open shots though Gil he's not going that's not coming from open he's never gonna be open on
Starting point is 00:45:19 this team exactly he's not coming from open shot where you getting open he got it he got it He got to go get it the Lakers office is nasty trash like I like but it's just now it's not that's why you can't get We don't really talk about that either like their rotations and the grass Dookie nasty What about what Bubba does say bumpy bumpy bumpy Darvin, but we don't know what he did man. Just all talk. But we are we supposed to protect him to I give him at least a year. Darv are we supposed to protect him Darv?
Starting point is 00:45:53 I don't think you should get I think that I'm not arguing with a dude that actually can beat me up. Man, we on that. He got to get my hands on you. Look I ain't scared. Look I ain't scared. You good. You good. You got his hands on you? Look, I ain't scared. Look, I ain't scared. You good. You good.
Starting point is 00:46:06 You good. I'm just questioning. I'm just like, yo, why we not? Why we not? You know what I'm saying? Like, all those players on your team should be in better position to put the Lakers in a good scenario. He's a rookie coach, man.
Starting point is 00:46:20 I'm not. You got to give him a year. So Mike Brown was a rookie coach. What, Mike Brown? Ain't Mike Brown? What are we doing? What are we talking about? He coached LeBron back in the day. What are we talking about?. So Mike Brown was a good year. What Mike Brown ain't Rick Brown What's what we do? Because LeBron back we talk about what Mike Brown the one in of Mike Brown was he was a rookie coach with LeBron and Yeah, I was early LeBron. I was early LeBron
Starting point is 00:46:35 Yeah, yeah Why we gonna talk about it? But we can't end this segment without the funniest moment from yesterday and that was Mo Bamba fucking up some chicken Gil You talked about strippers with the chicken at the strip club we got that Mo Bamba video they hot man it's 420 they look he's fucking that case he dipped it Oh dip oh no't fucking up like I thought. No, no. No, because I'm vegan, and I'll get to chicken better than that. See? No, see?
Starting point is 00:47:10 But you're going to eat in your jersey and risk spilling some sauce all on the purple and gold? Nope. See, that's that. What? That's Memphis. That locker room? That's Memphis. So what they're doing is just ordering food from upstairs.
Starting point is 00:47:23 So that means Memphis don't have that buffet they give you after the game. They give you that bullshit. So that brings me to my question. Which road city has the best post-game meal? Cleveland. What were they giving you in Cleveland? Whole mother fucking Thanksgiving dinner. You trusted to eat it?
Starting point is 00:47:42 Yes. You trusted the Cavs to give you good food? Yes. It was fire? Yes. It was the cows to give you good. Yes, it was fire. Yes It was the first ones there was a first there was a first team to give the road team actual food And it was fire. Y'all don't remember Cleveland. No, I remember down remember Dallas Dallas Dallas was the best to me What Mark Cuban did it right laid it out. Yeah, I ain't gonna that barbecue after the game
Starting point is 00:48:03 Bargain chicken. Yeah the barbecue all the whole barbecue spread. Yeah, I ain't gonna, that barbecue after the games was- Barbecue chicken? Yeah, the barbecue, all the whole barbecue spread. Yeah, okay. You don't remember Dallas? Bro, they used to give you the whole plate, bro, with everything in it. For real? Oh, yeah. Yeah, Mark Cuban used to- You missed out?
Starting point is 00:48:15 Miami had some- Yeah, shout out Mark Cuban for that. Miami? Nah, Miami didn't have food. They did. You had to go order it, right? Nah. No, you had to bring it in to order it.
Starting point is 00:48:23 It was the hospitality room. Oh, y'all, no. See, that's, no, it was the players the plate for the players in the back Not the media shit the Florida players only Yeah, I don't know. Hey Miami had that. Yeah, like for the road. Yeah. I don't remember that. Yeah. Oh, no I never saw yeah, we talk about Cleveland soon as you walk walk in, they got them hot things like you at the barbecue. Yes, sir. Yeah, no, Dallas had that, too. I thought it was a trick.
Starting point is 00:48:51 So you ate in his fight? But that's what I was thinking. What y'all give me all this good-ass food for? Something's going on in here. Recruiting, probably? No, we hungry. Yes. We hungry.
Starting point is 00:48:59 I think that's just a part of being a gracious host. I think everybody should do that, honestly. Yes, everyone should. Like, Sacramento was the worst. They had that little hockey arena. I mean, the little hockey locker room, small as hell. Oh, my God. Oh, the worst.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Smelled real bad. I hate playing in L.A., though, because we got on the plane, and they had nothing but In-N-Out every time. Oh, fire. Who? When we came to L.A. That's probably because everybody loved that. We played in L.A.? It was nothing but In-N-Out. Oh, fire. Who? When we came to LA. That's probably was everybody who ate that. We played in LA.
Starting point is 00:49:27 It was nothing but In-N-Out. That was on the plane though. That's called Minnesota. That's your team. It was weird because I'm like, yo, I'm about to eat the fuck out of all of this, like three burgers on the plane. And it's like, yo, it's just crack. That means KG ordered that shit.
Starting point is 00:49:41 It's crack. Yeah, for sure. We roofed Chris. We put on three pounds. were in the we all had that I was doing it like that. We had Roscoe. Oh, you're on mine. See Roscoe's inside this thought I'm so no I'm gonna zonk out here chains like that's all we catered. They ever give you on nachos like they gave me will I was on there back in the day. We got the little will photo. I remember it been blue or fucking up some Staples Center nachos.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Yeah, see, that's all food from upstairs. Yeah, you had to order that. You ordered like at the third quarter, tell the ball boy, let me get some of them chicken fingers. Y'all would do that? We have to. For teams that didn't have food? But during the game, y'all were like, yo, third quarter.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Because they close at the third quarter. Yeah, you have to order that.'t have food during the game And before we move on to this show want to wish everybody happy 420 we appreciate everybody in the chat that's pulling up Do we got do we got? I gotta let them know it's a lot of people coming in late They said okay, you gotta take a little baby is a man a man. This is I sell a large amount Allegedly you got it you got a contact joint But we got a suit everybody was getting buckets last night with a little bit of hibachi time. Are we gonna spark that up? Yeah, we need to be this fuck that I'll get some contact Howard this nigga a little bit He's gonna be out of date. I ain't even hit the motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:51:27 So the Greek freak was sitting on his cheeks for game two of the Bucks. Heat series, getting that DNP with a lower back contusion. But the rest of the team picked up the slack. Bucks, title play, what? The Greek freak sitting on his cheeks. That was clever, man. You be coming up clever with these. I try, at least once or twice a season.
Starting point is 00:51:43 This is his job. That's what they pay me to do. Some people will be hating, though, getting the chance. I need to pull up on them. I can keep a record of all y'all that be hating. I'm going to say. He really do. He really do.
Starting point is 00:51:54 I know your tag. I'm emotional. Y'all know I'm like. Finding out your IP address at every day. I know where y'all live. All right. But Bucks tied a playoff record 25 made threes. And seven
Starting point is 00:52:05 players scored in double figures led by Drew Holiday and Brooke Lopez. Holiday finished 24 points, 11 dimes. Lopez dropped 25. Pat Connaughton came off the bench. Six threes and a 22 piece as well. But I think the most important thing is that the Bucks showed that they could win without Giannis
Starting point is 00:52:22 at least in the short term. So Gil, I'll start with you first. Series tied 1-1. Should the Bucs rest Giannis until they absolutely need him? I would. I would rest him. I'll rest him for the next game. So games.
Starting point is 00:52:34 You already said game two, so you rest him for game three too? Yeah. I rest him for game three. I mean, unless he can actually play, but I'll rest him for game three. Lopez going back to his natural position that you said it too. You said it that if it gives Lopez a chance to actually you know play a game and you know him playing inside out really actually changed the dynamic of that team. Yeah. You know where I'm rolling. I'm rolling. Yeah he's rolling. You want him to play or you gonna rest him?
Starting point is 00:53:04 I'll rest him. I'll rest him right now. I'm with you on that. I'll just rest I'm rolling. Yeah, he's rolling. You want him to play or are you going to rest him? I'll rest him. I'll rest him right now. I'm with you on that. I'll just rest him right now, figure it out. But then after that, depends on how this game goes, you got to come back. If they go down 2-1 in Miami with that game before Miami, Giannis, you got to get your act. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Give him the little, the tour dog. Yeah, right now. Get back out there. To me, it's like, what do we feel like that energy is from Miami, right? Is Miami a real threat for them right now? No. Coming in, is it 1-1, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:29 We're going to Miami? Yeah. But no Tyler Hero, like Brandon mentioned. That's a loss for the game. I mean, that's 20 points a night, though. It's meaningless. I mean, that's 20 points a night. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Because if he gets it going, it's just. We're making it seem like it's Jimmy Butler out. Right. I mean, I feel like... You know if I'm going to tell him? I do, but I'm like, we're making it seem like it's like... He's still coming off the bench, right? Nah, he's starting.
Starting point is 00:53:53 He's starting. He's starting. I feel like... I haven't been to this in Miami. If we're going to keep Greek off, it's like we got to really know that Miami's a threat. Like, we got to really know that Miami's a threat. We got to put them away. Seeing that game last night, I see that Drew's in charge.
Starting point is 00:54:11 He's like, yo, it don't matter if Greek playing or not. I'm letting y'all know I'm driving this shit. And I like that energy from them. We just talked about Brook Lopez falling into his real position. Everybody else has been role players the whole time. They've been doing their thing. I like the way their energy is. I don't think you need Greek right away, but I would like to insert him for momentum purposes. Not necessarily get out there and
Starting point is 00:54:35 try to get hurt, but just get the energy back so that you are needed if they do win three, four. We got to come in and win five, six. You won't lose no momentum because you're sitting down too long just because you're just sitting down, right? I feel like playoff time is a time where you need to play for real. I think that one of the things that they might need to consider is the next round. Like, do you want him coming cold into the next round? Like, you might want to get his legs, not, you know, 32 minutes or anything like that,
Starting point is 00:55:07 but if he's able to play, I think he should get a sweat. He should get out there, even if they beat Miami. Like, he should maybe play the first quarter, second quarter. You know what I mean? Like, see where he is just so he has a little bit of momentum going into the next series because that's when it really is going to matter. This series, I feel like they shouldn't even have lost one game for real. I feel like they should just wax them.
Starting point is 00:55:29 He get a little bit of rhythm, get his sea legs back from being injured, so you roll into the next series and he's feeling better. Yeah, I'm not about all that. You're not going to play me a few minutes in. Not a few minutes. I got stats to worry about. I'm sorry. I'm not going to be playing three, five,
Starting point is 00:55:46 ten minutes while I got amazing stats that I'm trying to I'm going to play and I'm playing my normal 32, 33 minutes. That's respectful. I get that part of the business of it and the whole future of your stats. That matters to you. It do.
Starting point is 00:56:02 It do. It do. Can Drew be top five out of L.A. ever? Out of top five ever? Out of Los Angeles. Like the rate he's going right now. He gets another ring. What's the top three right now, though?
Starting point is 00:56:17 Out of Los Angeles ever? Ever. You got to go Paul. Paul. Pierce. Who? Gil, BD. BD, Gil.
Starting point is 00:56:25 No? I'm going to go. No, Gil. No? I'm going to go. No, you got Russ. I'm going to go Russ and James. You got Russ, James, you got DeRozan. He hasn't had a better career than DeRozan. All time, but we talking about the whole career. We talking about the whole career. We not just talking about NBA.
Starting point is 00:56:37 We talking about high school, college, all that. Drew, McDonald. Top five all time. Reggie Miller. Point guard. Reggie? You got Reggie, Cheryl Miller. You got Lisa Leslie.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Lisa Leslie? All time? All time. I'm just saying, from high school to being a child or not. Out of L.A. He can't get in that. It's too many. Because he hasn't been dominant.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Right. He's been consistent. He hasn't been dominant. Right. He's been consistent. He hasn't been dominant. And I think that's where you get the edge because of his consistency of being in the conversation of, man, you tough. You tough, but you ain't dominated like the other names. He was that dude in high school, though. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:57:20 That's what I'm saying. All that, everything. Because you would have expected him to come out 30 pieces, whatever, and he has the potential capability to do that. But it seems like, even, you know, I coached one of his high school coaches, and it's like he kind of turns it off a little bit now in the league. He could do everything, and we talked about it yesterday, he's one of the most underrated players in the league, but it's like, even at UCLA, he kind of took a back seat there.
Starting point is 00:57:42 You're talking about Gale Goodrich. Those guys are still, yeah. I mean, well, he got time. He got time to finish. He does have time. I'm just saying. He keeps hitting them finals. I mean, you got guys that are 10-time All-Stars, all NBA players. Cali guys, too. I get what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Yeah, but I put rings in there, too, though. They got rings. Who? Out of law school? Yeah. We're the hub. We're the hub of basketball. It ain't the mecca of basketball.
Starting point is 00:58:13 It ain't New York. But do you feel like New Yorkers put extras on it? Because if you look at just body of work throughout the year, it's always a disrespect for L.A. Hoopers, but we in there consistently. We are. We are. We are technically the mecca of basketball. We are it. And the only excuse they try to use, California's so big and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:58:31 And it's like, no. Like New York back, like the last great New York player was probably the early 2000 draft. When you're talking about. Lamar Odom. Lamar Odom. Like Lamar Odom. Steph. Sebastian the more old them Lamar old um like Lamar old um Bastion tell them more Stefan Mulberry
Starting point is 00:58:58 Ron artesan New York was the last group no no The best New York who prospect was Sebastian tell affair. Tell the fair. Tell the fair? Yeah, coming out. Coming out. I'm not going to ask for it. Prospect. Like actually doing it. Kimba is, I mean- Like doing it in the NBA? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going to say Kimba and Lance Stevenson are the last really- Yeah, Lance. The New York guards in the last 23, 24 years. I give it to Lance. Jersey done took over that. Yeah. Jersey is the new New York. I was born in Trenton, if that means anything.
Starting point is 00:59:29 It doesn't. It doesn't, but I just want to throw that out there. All right. 420. It means nothing. What does 420 got? Get this shit to 10K so we can have this. Life that we like.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Get this chat to 10K so we can hit that one. We're like four or five. Who would give me high? Yeah. I think we shot too high with 10. I shot exactly where. This chapter take a so you hit that one. We're like for firing me We shot too high with him I shot exactly Too high but give this up. This is not even for today. This is for the life of the show So in a couple months, we're gonna be there Ever get to how do we start the show? I don't remember you started No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 01:00:07 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Chat, y'all didn't get that 30-minute warning. I was hot. People was about to get fired. He was in here. People was about to get fired today because I'm like, yo, my people supposed to get their shit at 11. So they get it. Where's the shit going? We late. That's, I was, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Y'all got one job. People was about to get fired. So they had to do some shit up here. So can we get some credit for that? They made it up by giving a highlight. Can we get some credit for that? Can we get at least 2K credit? No, they got a highlight.
Starting point is 01:00:44 They gave us a highlight. They gave it, okay. They gave me a highlight. Team effort. It was for that? Can we get at least 2K credit? No, they got a highlight. They gave us a highlight. They gave it, okay. They gave me a highlight. Team effort. It was a team effort. They was getting my name. Listen, if they didn't have that highlight, they was getting fired. So can we spark it just because?
Starting point is 01:00:52 I'm not going to say I put it together, but I did one. I said yesterday. I said 10,000. I watched you go make that face. 10,000. Can we spark it and you not hit it? Come on, Gil. We need that Gil 10K graphic.
Starting point is 01:01:01 I was getting 420. Y'all can't guilt your. It's been 420 for how many years? Forever. Forever. Let's talk about these Nuggets, even though I know some people in the chat probably don't want to. Some people on the show probably don't want to, but Jamal Murray looked like he was back in the bubble. Wednesday dropped the 40 piece, went six for 10 from three.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Gave that Nuggets a 2-0 lead on the Timberwolves. We didn't even got the highlights. That's how much we, you know, we just threw it in. Some highlights? He dropped 24 in game one. So we already know what Joker brings to the table, but it seems like Jamal Murray's an X factor. So after these two games, do you feel comfortable enough saying that Jamal Murray is back?
Starting point is 01:01:39 He was a bubble player. He was. Bubble boys. It was. It was like four or five of them. That was his heart. He had the injury and he's kind of coming back to good.
Starting point is 01:01:47 the dude from the Pacers, remember him? Where did he go? Yeah, then Murray, like there was a couple of players that just disappeared after the bubble.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Like he's given, like he's given these first two playoffs. I mean, it looked like he's a playoff player anyway. And, you know, I'm respecting, I can say it looked like he's a playoff player anyway. And, you know,
Starting point is 01:02:05 I'm respecting, I can say, yo, he's, he's finding his rhythm. I wouldn't want to be called the bubble, the bubble Murray. That's just,
Starting point is 01:02:13 sounds like I'm a practice player. He's 24. What'd he have last night? 40. Yeah. I'll say he's, he's back. But what kind of pressure?
Starting point is 01:02:22 I'll respect the little bit. Yeah. I'm not looking at it. I'm looking at his game, the way he likes to play. That's how he likes to play. Yeah, we almost tripled it off. But I want his rhythm. Like, for his rhythm going, I got Clippers or Suns next.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Get your rhythm. Yeah. So you think that he plays the same type of rhythm game with them with actual pressure on him? Like, they're not putting the pressure on him that I feel like another point guard or other point guards have that made his play look subpar. Like, I think he's so comfortable out there because he's not putting pressure on him. His open shots, there's not really a lot of contested shots.
Starting point is 01:02:58 He's taking easy shots. So, when it's nut-cutting time and you put a real defender on him, right, and it's like, yo yo give us what you got I haven't seen him step up to the plate yet. I got Westbrook or CP OCP You feel good 30 30 Westbrook either one Listen no, no not when I'm putting on that kick ago, you don't know I'm perfect. Listen, no. No. Not when I'm putting pressure back on you.
Starting point is 01:03:25 No, but that kick can go. They don't put pressure. Yeah. That kick can go, too. TeeTee put pressure when needed. But he know when to put pressure when needed. That be damn another 38-year-old boy. Yeah, his knees ain't equipped for that.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Snake pick and roll all night. It ain't happening. Not with Joker up there with that pick and roll. That's dangerous. That's going to get ugly. So, speaking of Joker, we saw what the Bucks are capable Not with Joker up there. That's dangerous. That's going to get ugly. So speaking of Joker, we saw what the Bucks are capable of without Giannis.
Starting point is 01:03:53 And it's fair to say the Nuggets would be trash without Joker. But I want to know, who is more valuable to their team, Giannis or Joker? Man, when you put it like that. Jesus. We're going to make you think on this one. No, but what I'm saying is it's easier to say Denver because Milwaukee won. Jesus. That's what we're gonna make you think. You know what I'm saying is it's easier to say Denver because Milwaukee won. Yeah that's why we ask these questions when they're timely and topical. It's something to really think about though. You take Joker off the Nuggets I don't think that team makes a playoff. You take Giannis off the Bucks I would. They might still be. But you have to
Starting point is 01:04:24 think about the East and the West. The East is... It's a big difference, yeah. Like, it's easier to make the playoffs in the East. I think the... One of the... The eighth record in the East was like... You couldn't have made the West playoffs with that record.
Starting point is 01:04:39 You know what I mean? So, I don't know. They had to be on the same side. Bucs were number one team in the league. I think Nuggets were number two or three. I forget where Boston landed in there, records-wise. But Denver. They the same.
Starting point is 01:04:51 They the same. They the same. It's equal loss? Take both guys off the team, they the same team. No, they're not. No. No, you got two All-Stars. You got two All-Stars in Milwaukee.
Starting point is 01:05:00 Line them up. Two All-Stars in Milwaukee, still. Look, I ain't even talking about the All-Star. I'm just talking about the talent. Line the talent up. Two All-Star. They got two more All-Stars in Milwaukee. Line them up. Two All-Stars in Milwaukee. Still. Look, I ain't even talking about the All-Star. I'm just talking about the talent. Line the talent up. Two All-Star. They got two more All-Stars in Milwaukee.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Line the talent up, though. I'm not talking about All-Stars. I'm just talking about talent. That is called talent. No, that's called credentials. Those are credentials. We're talking about just the talent. Michael Porter.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Michael Porter matches with Chris Middleton. Ain't been playing. No, he don't. No, he don't. No, he don't. No, no, no. Listen. I'm talking about as far as Chris middle. No, I don't know I'm talking about potential time what he could capable capable of doing tomorrow's happy MP can can do what Chris does he can't right or if he just not doing it, right? I mean, I mean she can't do it. So then so look Because look as a deacon score 40 if he's not doing it, okay before but it don't mean he can't do it if he's not doing it. Because look, AD can score 40 if he's not doing it.
Starting point is 01:05:46 He's done it before. But it don't mean he can't do it. He's done it. Somebody that's done it, you can't say that. Michael Porter has played good. He's average. He's had 30. Okay, a great game for Michael Porter is 20-something.
Starting point is 01:05:57 28, 29. That's an average game for Chris Middleton. It's not an average game for Chris Middleton. That was like when Chris Middleton is not averaging 27 points a game, bro. No, he's not. He's averaging about 21, 22. He's averaging an average game. That was like when- Chris Middleton is not averaging 27 points a game, bro. No, he's not. He's averaging about 21, 22. He's averaging about 19. About 21, 22.
Starting point is 01:06:09 But look, my point is, Murray matches with Drew. MP matches with Middleton. You got Gordon matching with Brooke Lopez. Then you got the utility players that's coming off the bench matching with Milwaukee. They match up. They match up. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you talking about Aaron Gordon? Aaron Gordon matching up with Brooke.
Starting point is 01:06:31 Brooke Lowe? No way. I'm not saying that he dominates them. I'm just saying the matchup. The matchup. The matchups. Without Greek, without Joker, the matchups there are like boom, boom, boom. This was like when
Starting point is 01:06:45 Golden State was playing Cleveland, right? And then J.R. Smith matched up with Klay Thompson. Yes. So I'm not saying... One averaging 21, one averaging 12. I'm just talking about as far as talent goes. One's averaging 21 a game, one's averaging 12,
Starting point is 01:07:02 but we're calling that a matchup. It's a matchup. Yes. That's not a matchup. Just because you got to guard someone is not a matchup. No, one's averaging 12, but we call that a matchup. It's a matchup. Yes. That's not a matchup. Just because you got a guard, someone's not a matchup. No, it's a matchup because we're talking about talent and potential of the actual performance. When you go out there to play, J.R. Smith can get 22. Yeah, he can get 22, and we're like, yes, Cleveland. Yes. Can't believe it.
Starting point is 01:07:18 And one just averages 22. Yes. So when he doesn't, when he doesn't. One has a great game to get 22. The other one averages 22. Regular. Meaning it's normal for him. It's regular. But it's still a matchup. It's still a matchup. It's not saying that it's a fucking good
Starting point is 01:07:34 matchup. I'm not saying that. I'm saying That's defeating the purpose of the conversation meaning that they're a better team with they don't have Giannis. They have a better chance versus not having Joker. It's different. I'm saying it's a balance. It's equal. I'm saying they both got an equal chance.
Starting point is 01:07:48 We looked this year. He means equal. He means like we got 12 players, they got 12 players. That's what I'm saying. That's what that equal means to him. The hoop works when it goes in. When you put that motherfucker in the hoop, that's when the points. I don't give a fuck about no all-star, no stat, no none of that. You should.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Look, potential and everything that we can come out here and do, you're not winning the game before the game is played. Yeah, it is. If you look at this... Bulls won. Bulls won. Bulls. 96 Bulls. You're going back in time. 96 Bulls won games before they stepped on. Why are you going back in time?
Starting point is 01:08:21 That Golden State team, with KD on it, they won games before they stepped on the floor are you going back? That Golden State team with KD on it, they won games before they stepped on the floor. You're talking about two different teams. You're talking about 40 teams. Sometimes when you get out there and you just flex, my mother be looking at you like this. Man, them mother about to kick our ass today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's not an often occurrence.
Starting point is 01:08:38 That don't happen often. It does. That's a once in a 20 year thing. It's not happening now. Rolling with that shit. Denver and the Bucks, man. That's a once in a 20 year thing. It's not happening now rolling with that shit. They're in the box man. That's a matchup with Joker out without them. They can compete without Joker and without they can get honest the Bucks win Bucks win by how much five Jesus a close game.
Starting point is 01:09:00 We talking about competing. We talk about guys gotta still go. Let me get that motherfucker. Can we like this shit? Because y'all just do you. Y'all in here. I need to do you man. I'm supposed to be.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Boy in God. My day is this buck. I don't know what you were smoking before you got here. But don't go home. I think that so that's what I get penalized for winning. Do you think I get penalized for winning this? Do your thing, man. I get penalized for winning this or you going to get me the fucking reward? See, I don't like it. We're building it down.
Starting point is 01:09:30 It'll be a lot closer than normal, but I got to give it to that Bucs squad. And that's no knock to Giannis or Joker's players, but that Bucs team from top to bottom has a squad. Yes. It's still solid enough to make the playoff. That Nuggets team without Joker, that, it's hot boo boo for against one For gets one a there ain't there. How you going? How we being? How we being biased though? No, no, we don't drug test this month. We being by no testing him
Starting point is 01:09:57 I'm not being by Denver is what what are they number one? Bring bring that one You're saying the number one team without their best player can't be number three or number four? Without their best player. Without their best player. Huh? I think that might be nine or ten, maybe.
Starting point is 01:10:12 So then he don't deserve MVP? In the West. So he don't deserve MVP? So Joker don't deserve MVP because of that? A lot of people have been saying he don't deserve it. No, I'm not saying. That's not using that to say Joker don't deserve MVP because MVP is going with. Wouldn't he deserve it because of that?
Starting point is 01:10:23 Without me, you guys go to an A seed and we're number one number one because of me that's why he was the leader the whole time y'all want some of this y'all want some y'all now we're good ain't nobody playing in the west that's why we're not white enough to get votes so nobody's tripping man nobody playing but let's keep this moving let's talk about yes let's talk about Anthony Edwards He dropped the 41 piece went toe-to-toe with Murray down the stretch hit a ton of big buckets wasn't enough obviously to get the dub But are the Timberwolves Anthony Edwards team or the Timberwolves cast team look at that. He played like he from Georgia. Let's look at Bucket I've been waiting on him Yeah, and he's only 22 Bucket. I've been waiting on him. Yeah. And he's only 22.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Yeah, he's a baby. No, that's his, I mean, that's his team. It's his, I mean, it's his team to own. And look at the bucket he's getting though. He gotta earn the respect, but it looks like, you know, down the end of the game. But he's only 21, can he be 22 and older? He needs to earn the respect from who? From who?
Starting point is 01:11:23 On that team. I mean, nobody really. I mean, I'm pretty sure he's really. I think he could just walk around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, Cat already feels that, okay, you are him, so it's not like he's going to have no big push back. And he gets the ball in the big moments.
Starting point is 01:11:37 Yeah, he's getting the ball in the big moments. He gets the ball in the big moments, even the play-in. Like, he was off. He had a terrible game. They still going straight to him in the last two or three minutes of the game. It's his team. Mm-hmm. You know, it's definitely his team and he could probably be everybody up. Yeah, bully. Yeah, it looks like it'd be everybody up on the team. Watch out. Yeah, I don't think
Starting point is 01:11:58 yeah, who? Rudy? No, no, not after that punch. We don't want that. That was a weird punch. Kyle Anderson might be his best, but Kyle Anderson too slow with the swings. Oh, man. He's from Georgia too. He's from Georgia. Wow. You know, he is going to take a lot. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Are we sparking this? Not yet. Not yet. We got a little bit more show left. We ready for this. So we got to give a little bit of love. I need to be out. Put it down. Put it down. Put it down.
Starting point is 01:12:25 It's probably not real. It's not real. Allegedly. This is YouTube. Whatever to get him normal, he should do. But let's talk about... It's probably situations after the show.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Let's talk about De'Aaron Fox a little bit. First winner of the NBA's Most Clutched Player Award. Should make an All-NBA team this There's probably situations after the show. Let's talk about De'Aaron Fox a little bit. First winner of the NBA's Most Clutched Player Award. Should make an All-NBA team this season. He's only 25 years old. He's transferring that Kings franchise from a laughingstock. I remember LeBron and Draymond on the shop to start the season, both clowning the Kings, saying, you know,
Starting point is 01:12:59 that was one of the worst teams to play. Then now they're 2-0 lead on the Warriors. You know, no Draymond, game three, looking to fulfill the prophecy and knock them out of the playoffs. But De'Aaron, 25 years old, will he ever reach that superstar tier? I mean, this season helps.
Starting point is 01:13:18 You know, he has to come out next season and take it up a whole nother level. Sacramento is Sacramento. When you're talking about superstardom, being in certain cities help. If you're not in those certain cities, your play has to be just out of this world for you to get that superstardom. I'm not sure. I think that he's a great player.
Starting point is 01:13:47 He's very confident. I like how aggressive he is and all those things, but I'm not sure that he – I've never seen him play where I was like, oh, my God, he's going to be like this. You know what I mean? I haven't seen, like, this grand star yet. That doesn't mean he's not a good player. It doesn't mean he's not dominating, doing a great job.
Starting point is 01:14:03 I just haven't seen any star Quality that will make me want to go to Sacramento to see a game and watch him You know cuz I'll travel to Milwaukee to go see honest play and you know I mean, I'll you'll travel to see some of these guys play Make you really go in Sacramento our flight, but you're not you're not hitting that Southwest out of Burbank to go What does he need what does he need to be must see TV? It? I don't see the it yet.
Starting point is 01:14:27 You don't see the it? Like Ja has the it. And not saying he can't. You know what I mean? I feel like it might maybe, but I ain't seen nothing that makes me like, oh yeah, he is going to be. And he don't have it. So you mean like as a non-Kings fan, something that you would need from him to make you say,
Starting point is 01:14:44 I'll go watch. Yeah I haven't seen anything because like if you were Kings fan and you're watching him play you ain't seen nothing like this Since they was winning with Bibby and them right and so this gets you up But then how he's doing it right how he's playing I think is exciting for Kings fans. Oh, yeah, right Oh, yeah, but as far as the it He's been the guy since college. Right? He may not have the style of play that everyone likes, but I still think that I go pay to see him play if he come into a matchup,
Starting point is 01:15:18 a certain matchup. Okay. Like if it's a Westbrook. This is the one. This is the one. They would do us a great favor if they beat the Warriors. If he was like a shit talker, it's something that's missing. It's just the it.
Starting point is 01:15:31 It's the it. If you ain't got it, you ain't got it. You ain't just got it. You ain't got it. It's like the dog. It's a little different. Like Ja, his whole mannerisms. Does he have it?
Starting point is 01:15:39 Ja has it? Yeah. Yeah. Ja has it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, for there. Eric Rose had it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, for sure.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Like the way it's talking about. What's so funny is it like he has the game. Yeah. He has the speed, the charisma, the moves like he has is just something he just doesn't like. It's like a he launched. I don't know. It's just I don't know.
Starting point is 01:15:59 It's you know, you know, you know, you know, when you say like B was left handed, right? And left handed players get a stigma, especially if you're not energetic. And, like, he was. That's why he got the praise because he's going at you. He's electric. But he's a slew-footed, slow. I ain't hurt. Who's slow?
Starting point is 01:16:18 No, he's like his pace is kind of slow to fast, right? So, it's weird to watch him play and get to his spots because he's not as electric and fast and moving at that pace. So I think that's the stuff you're talking about. Or that's just the weed you smoke. That too. Because it must be the fastest shit. No, no, no, he's fast as fuck.
Starting point is 01:16:38 But in pick and roll, he don't move fast. No, no, no, he's fast as fuck in pick and rolls. He's slow in the pick and roll. No, he's fast. He's slow no no he's not as fun in big roles. He's slow in the pick and roll He's slow too fast. I Think I know what you're trying to come on all the go for the visit Over place you I think I know what you're trying to say, but he's a he is a player But you some I when he's got the ball he's his thinking is slow What is it? You know what it is? Should I bring this?
Starting point is 01:17:05 Don't worry. Don't worry. What? Five? Don't worry. He play like Derek Martin. Who? You see how light back in the day?
Starting point is 01:17:12 It's boring like Derek Martin. A lot of people are going, how fast can you go into pick and roll in half court? What is this clutch? Is he running into people? What is clutch?
Starting point is 01:17:21 This clutch award thing is stupid. They need to give out more awards. No, what I'm saying is what is clutch? What are we? Yeah, like this clutch award thing is stupid. They need to give out more awards. No, what I'm saying is what is clutch? Like what are we talking about? Like clutch. Yeah, like what is clutch?
Starting point is 01:17:30 Like how are they determining who's clutch? Is that end of the game, end of the quarter? I think he leads by fourth quarter in scoring. That's not clutch. I'm just, yeah. Clutch is like last five minutes. Yes. Last five minutes, last end of game.
Starting point is 01:17:43 Oh my gosh, Kawhi Leonard's not playing. They're, my gosh. Kawhi Leonard's not playing. They're factoring on. Because Kawhi Leonard's not playing. Yeah, I was going to get to that. We got breaking news, though. I got to interrupt it. Kawhi Leonard out game three, sprained knee. Okay, that's what's up.
Starting point is 01:17:55 Fuck all that. What is this clutch shit? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is the clutch shit? What are we talking about clutch? What is clutch? You don't care if that Kawhi is out? No, we can get to that.
Starting point is 01:18:04 What is clutch? Because that just helps us out. What is clutch talk You don't care if that Kawhi is out? No, we can get to that. What is clutch? Because that just helps us out. What is clutch talking about? Let me Google it. What does it mean? Yeah, because if you're talking about a clutch, I mean like. Honors players that deliver the most when the game is on the line.
Starting point is 01:18:15 So last two minutes. Last two minutes? Last three minutes, right? Like last five minutes? Is that the only clutch? Because you could also be clutch in the end of a quarter, end of a half. End of a quarter, end of a quarter.
Starting point is 01:18:24 It's like there's all these moments. End of a quarter, end of a half. End of the quarter, end of the quarter. There's all these moments. End of a shot clock in a big moment. There's all these different ways. I got to see the real criteria. We're talking to Adam Silver. Clutch got to be under three minutes. I think we know what clutch means. We know what clutch means because we play.
Starting point is 01:18:40 The people who are giving out the awards, we don't know if they know what clutch means. What they calling that, yeah. Because how many game winners did he hit this season? Yeah. Nobody knows because it ain't even been highlighted. You know what I mean? He hit three the last two weeks of the season. But for the year, that's of the year.
Starting point is 01:18:57 Three game winners? That's of the year. So NBA also said clutch time is defined by three other game scenarios. They are defined as a one possession game or header behind by three points or less in the final three minutes. A one possession game or header behind by three points or less in the final minute. I think he had a lot of those plays. Maybe that's why they won. That's why they're sitting where they're sitting.
Starting point is 01:19:18 We didn't watch. None of us obviously cared this season. The third is a one possession game, Tyler trailing in the final 10 seconds. Okay. Possibly, then. That's a nice award, then. Yeah. That's a good award.
Starting point is 01:19:31 It's brand new, right? It's brand new. I would have had one of those. Yeah. Just one. 06, 07. For sure. Kobe would have had 04, 05, 05, 06.
Starting point is 01:19:39 Mm-hmm. All right. So let's... And first, before we get to the other major news, Mike Brown, Unanimous Coach of the Year. Congrats to Mike Brown. A black man on 420. But let's talk about this major news. Black man on 420.
Starting point is 01:19:51 This is important. Normally, we get locked up these days. You couldn't have 420s back in the day. That was jail time. Right. I know. I can't wait. Y'all know how it was going back in the day.
Starting point is 01:19:58 Right now, waiting on me to get back. You know how it was. On UCLA's campus, they was all hitting it. Uh-huh. And the joints blunts, no issue. Take that shit down to Crenshaw. That was time all hitting it. Uh-huh. No issues. Take that shit down to Crenshaw. That was time you were serving. Shout out to Brandon Jennings.
Starting point is 01:20:09 But let's talk about Kawhi Leonard. Okay. Out game three, sprained knee. Series tie 1-1. He's been the difference maker for the Clippers, obviously, so far this series. Did his thing against KD game one. Got cooked by D-Book. KD game two. No Kawh D-Book KD game two.
Starting point is 01:20:26 No Kawhi game three back in LA. Sounds familiar. What? Sounds clipperish. This shit always... Sounds familiar. Sounds clipperish. I was just about to say that too.
Starting point is 01:20:36 I'm like, damn. Sounds familiar to me. Is this some typical clipper shit? Yes. We played a lot of Minnesota in the first two games though. It was so funny. That's the funniest shit because someone just did an article about why time management on Kawhi was great during the regular season.
Starting point is 01:20:53 Because he gets to play all playoffs and then- Here we go. It sounds familiar. Somebody did that shit. So is it fair to say- You look stupid. Low management doesn't work. Is that the point we can get to? I never not wanted to even play, let alone be thinking about, oh, how my body going to
Starting point is 01:21:10 feel after 82 games. I'm a hooper. If I'm capable, I'm hooping. That's the end. Say it again, please. I don't think they heard you. Because the chat, they be thinking we tripping when we talk about being in real shape and being at a level where you don't have to sit out you signed up to play 82 games that's what you signed up for if you're hurt got it but if you're not you can't be what are you saving i don't i got so many bullets in here i need to get all these off what am i saving them for like i like you have 82 games to get ready for the playoffs you know like that's it you don't get to say well I gotta I can't do back-to-back games because in April I'm gonna need you know
Starting point is 01:21:52 rest from the December like that's just stupid to me I don't get it everyone proved it actually proved the point right the teams who had the most rest lost game one basically right the teams who had to play in game they took game one because they are in shape their their their their timings are rhythm right they have their rhythm if you're you're sitting here playing games where i play these two games and i sit out these two games which means i have about seven games between the next game that next game you play is trash you'll yeah your you're going to have cramps that night because your muscles ain't. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:27 You play, I don't know how they do that. How do you even, I don't know, I can't do that. It's this theory, right? Let's just say we all had to take 100,000 shots, right? 100,000 shots, we have a year to take 100,000 shots and then next year we all have a contest. Whoever shot every single day is going to actually be the winner if you took two shots that we i mean two if you did you know uh two workouts you did
Starting point is 01:22:53 three you did four even though we're all taking a hundred thousand even you're going to be the worst shooter because what happens is your body is going to be used to taking two shots on five days rest yep right that's how your muscle memory is going to taking two shots on, five days rest. Yep. Right? That's how your muscle memory is going to go. Two days working, five days of rest. So if you try to shoot on that third day, your body's going to be trying to go to sleep. Oh, man. Just like normal life.
Starting point is 01:23:14 More shots. Yeah, just normal life. Your body, just normally, at a certain time, it does what it's been programmed to do. So if you're used to going to sleep at 10 o'clock, no matter what you're doing, your body just is going to naturally shut itself down. So if you're used to taking days off during the season,
Starting point is 01:23:31 your body is going to start timing that and is going to naturally just want to take those days off naturally. So you're trying to be playing in the game, you're getting ready to jump, and your muscle's trying to go to sleep, sit your ass down. Don't hurt my hamstring. I think the only load management
Starting point is 01:23:45 is if you are injured and you're rolling back into playing, maybe load managing you to get you back out there to get your sea legs. But other than that, if you healthy, play.
Starting point is 01:23:55 Like, what are you doing? How much is a team problem versus a player problem? Because we talked about that before on this show. Seems like a lot of times people want to blame the players for this
Starting point is 01:24:03 load management when it's really the teams that are trying to be cautious, protect their investment, whatever it may be. But at some point as a player it's like, fuck that, I want to be out there. How can your coach tell you not to play? Is that a thing? I think it's both. It's hurt versus injured.
Starting point is 01:24:18 Okay. Really. It's two different things. It's completely different things. You've got to define the two. Yeah. Because when you hurt, like... You just banged up. You can still go a little bit. I'm hurting. I'm hurting. I feel pain.
Starting point is 01:24:29 When you're injured, you cannot go. I can't go. I'm going to really fuck myself up. I'm injured. I'm injured. I'm on the injured reserve list. But when you hurt, it's some punk pussy shit that's going on that you don't want to get through. If you ailing with some dings and some little twists here,
Starting point is 01:24:49 little twists there, 80s. Niggas out there with third-degree ankle sprains. They had something to help. Yeah, a little sugar. They had something to help to fix them, okay? Let's not stop giving them credit for playing 82 games. They had some nice little sugar in their system that helped through the pain. But you tough, right?
Starting point is 01:25:10 You tough, right? If I got sugar, yes, I'm tough. You know what I'm saying? Niggas get hurt every day, B. You know what I'm saying? If I got sugar in my system, I'm tough. You know what I'm saying? You tough.
Starting point is 01:25:17 It shows. So, you know, if you getting hurt, that was the part of us playing at the park, and you hurt, and you come back the next day. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to keep hooping until I can't hoop. If you getting hurt, that was the part of us playing at the park and you hurt, you come back the next day. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to keep hooping until I can't hoop. But listen, I can tell you this. I'm not even going to lie.
Starting point is 01:25:32 Let's just be honest here. Let's go. If a coach be like, hey, how you feeling today? We thinking about sitting you. All right. Shit, all right. I ain't going to bite you. But first.
Starting point is 01:25:42 Who we playing? Who we playing? Who we playing? Who we playing? Who we playing? Who we playing? Who we playing? Who we playing? Who we playing? Who we playing? That's the first thing. Who we playing? Who we playing? Who we playing? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:50 I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I never wanted a day. Never in my life. Hey, you're getting paid $400,000, and I don't got to do nothing for it? Yeah, you're turning it into a business. But I'm just talking about, like, just being a hooper, man.
Starting point is 01:26:04 I think maybe because I just miss playing. I miss, and I just would look back and think, if I ever took games off, I would be so mad at myself. I really wish now I wasn't 47 and I could still fucking get out there and go. You could have said 27, we would have just rolled with it and kept it moving. Never, I'm cool with it and kept it moving. Never. I'm cool with it. But with Kawhi, he aggravated the knee game one, came back, played through a game two. I think it got to the point with game three.
Starting point is 01:26:31 But question for y'all, how long until Kawhi just calls it a career? I mean, it feels like he's been doing a lot of bullshit the past couple years. He's already a Hall of Famer, two-time finals MVP. He has nothing else to prove. Does he even have 10,000 points? That's a good question? I don't know. Probably. I think so.
Starting point is 01:26:49 I would say yes. I feel like he should have. I feel like. Oh, he has 12,000? Yeah. Say fuck it. He's a Hall of Famer in today's game. Top 75.
Starting point is 01:27:01 I mean, they did the top 75 on the curve for him and AD and all them. I remember. That was a curve. You was mad about that. If he doesn't play no more. First ballot. What I'm saying is if he doesn't play anymore. He can't get on the next league.
Starting point is 01:27:12 Right? And we're talking about top 100 and he has no more points, that is good enough. But people like T-Mac with 20-something thousand. Are they serious? Are they going to do that bullshit where it's like, we kept the top 75 and we just added 75 more? No, that's what they do. They might do the championships. What they do is they're keeping the normal.
Starting point is 01:27:31 If you already made it, you don't get pushed off, which I think is not called top 75. It's not top 75. Top 75 is the top best 75 players ever. Just say, hey, these 75 made it. We're going to just
Starting point is 01:27:45 grandfather the man and keep bringing on. If it's top 75, we should go one through 75. That's literally the best thing. So let's say, all right,
Starting point is 01:27:52 we got Jordan, then we got LeBron, then we got Kobe and all of them. Right? Then it should be a list. So we can see then when new motherfuckers come,
Starting point is 01:28:02 they're moving people out. So if you're 75 right now, obviously you're not going gonna be top part of the next one god damn it because somebody's gonna remove your ass so does do we take kawaii out of the list because of the injuries it's not no you can't take him out of the list yeah like he wouldn't have been so should he retire what i'm saying is you wouldn't in your basketball terms he wouldn't have been on my list. Anthony Davis wouldn't have been on my list because there's players that are already considered top 75 players. I wouldn't have done this on a curve. There's guys in the top 75 from back in the day who got 4,000 points. That shouldn't be on this list.
Starting point is 01:28:40 That was great back then, but we're talking the best ever. Now it's changing. When you're talking about the best ever, this shit changes. People get great back then. We're talking the best ever. When you're talking about the best ever, this shit changes. People get removed. Sorry. There was top 50. You was in it good. You don't make this one. It's because we're basing it on stats, not talent.
Starting point is 01:28:58 We can't base it on talent. If we base it on stats, it has to do with points. Even stats back then. There's guys that, Bill Russell, rest in peace, 11 rings, but no one says, right? There was only, what, 12 black people, seven black people in the league then? Yeah, it's a little different. Right? There was eight teams.
Starting point is 01:29:16 There was only eight teams. There was no, you only got better through draft. There was no free agency in trades, right? So draft and trades is how you got better through draft there's no free agency in trades right so drafting trades is how you got better so if you have the number one team and let's say you have the best team right you have the best team I want your player bring them over here I'll give you this money of course you're gonna trade me your best player that's why Boston State good so long it's if I want a championship and you can't buy you can't get free agencies, it's hard to beat them. Fucking eight, eight fucking teams.
Starting point is 01:29:46 Those guys that got six all-stars, how do you not make an all-star team? Right? There's still 15 players. Yeah. Fucking the point guard's going to make it. The backup point guard's going to make it. The fucking two guard, his backup. Like fucking people who average eight points made the all-star team.
Starting point is 01:30:05 Right? So most of that shit don't even fly with me. I did my research and just to fuck with them. Right so none of it really really matters. Right so like 11 rings motherfucker you had an AAU team. Right that's the AAU squad and two of his championships there was even five fucking hundred. So do we reassemble the whole line up? You let me do it.
Starting point is 01:30:28 You let me do it. You let me do it. These motherfuckers be mad at me. I think it should. I think that, especially the game is changing so much, I think there should be a separate list. Like this era, this decade, you was this. And then this decade, this era, you were in here.
Starting point is 01:30:44 You can't just because it doesn't it don't add up like when you it do though when you think about it's our list versus the media and the fans no we got our own internal but but our because our knowledge don't go back that far it's kind of hard but but she's right you should have once rules change yes it should be new things like you're putting in this clutch, right? You're putting in this clutch thing. Someone's going to win six clutch, and then they're going to be like, wait, what about this Michael Jordan guy? He's the best player, but he don't have no clutch? Right.
Starting point is 01:31:13 Because it wasn't invented when he did it, right? So you're really fucking up legacies because you're putting all this extra shit in that wasn't available. So there should be categories and fucking things that's like top 25, they're in there, right? Top 50, they're in there. Like these new things, like these are grandfathered into this rule. Now, top 75 overall, here
Starting point is 01:31:36 it is. Yeah, overall. Yeah, it should be little pockets and then an overall. Top 25 back then, okay, that's that group. Top 50, that's this group. Top 75 overall, top 100 overall. It should be able to gradually move. You can't inherit people. There's going to be people that has like your top 75,
Starting point is 01:31:52 you're going to say everybody that started, like let's say top 100, everybody in that list is going to be 20,000 and above points. There's going to be a certain thing. There's guys in there now that don't even have fucking 10,000 points. I mean, you look at just the poll and how I've done those type of shit before.
Starting point is 01:32:09 You give me hundreds of names. How the fuck am I realistically and honestly supposed to go through this list and start matching up guys? I do. What I'm saying, but guys, you've never seen it played before. I do. You're asking somebody in the media to talk about a guy from the 70s versus a guy from the 90s. But you're going to really sit there and break it down. I do.
Starting point is 01:32:24 Because your motivation is really the pettiness. But what there and break it down. I do. Because your motivation is really the pettiness. But what do you break it down? I break down this shit. There's a drill called the Mike and drill. Oh my God. The most famous drill that a hooper knows. The Mike and drill. We all start the game off
Starting point is 01:32:40 with the Mike and drill. Right? Working on your layups. You would have thought this drill was made because this motherfucker just on your layups. You would have thought this drill was made because this motherfucker just never missed layups. Right? You would think that because this drill, because he was a guy who probably
Starting point is 01:32:55 shot 75% in layups. He was the biggest thing on the court. Shot 30-something percent from the field. Disgusting. I'm thinking that maybe they just laughed at this like man. We're gonna call this a microchip work on your leg That's what it makes me think that that's what you're doing back there because we're working on the mic and Jordan But he couldn't make layups this new kid do his own drills. He couldn't make layups I never knew that I never 39% I look at shit like that. I'm sorry Wow you are
Starting point is 01:33:31 Fuck they called it a bit of a giant the big whatever you're the biggest nigga on the court. You can't make layups 39 come on man That's tripping he tripping here. We got 39 30 come on. Okay, imagine not hitting your lip. He got a whole drill. That's layups Yeah, you said you said 30 procedures a career 40% at least give him some credit Curry shoots that from the goddamn hash mark. From the hash. From the logo. We done went over today, but the chat's still bumping.
Starting point is 01:34:11 Y'all did not get to 10K. Let us all down. God damn it. Thank you, chat. Thank you, chat. God damn it. Kept Gil off the blunt. But it's time for our final segment. And Gil, you made us do a five-peat.
Starting point is 01:34:22 You're keeping the staff here. We got shit we wanna do on our Thursday. But we gonna go ahead and do this Mosey fans. Okay., you made us do a five-peat. You're keeping the staff here. We got shit we want to do on our Thursday. But we're going to do this Mosley fans. Okay. So you said five questions. It's Gil's arena. You cut the checks. So we're going to do five questions. My bad.
Starting point is 01:34:32 My bad. Let's go. We might even fuck around and do six just to make sure you have it. Where are they? Set the tone. Shit. Come on. Shoot them out.
Starting point is 01:34:40 So first question. What's your favorite playoff? Red. Oh. I thought this was like a dating show. I thought this was like a dating show. question what's your favorite playoff read Oh what's your favorite playoff memory me hitting that game winner against Chicago Bulls game five Brandon what's your favorite play game one against Atlanta rookie year I think I like 35 I was like close to beating like the rookie record for the most points in the game. So it was like 35
Starting point is 01:35:09 That's it. He never made the post. Wait, wait, wait, I still got a answer. You have a memory So he's a fan. Yes. I'm obviously I'm going back to my an asshole about it. You don't have to be an asshole about it. I knew he was going to give me slander. I already had in my mind. They're giving Mark the ass at 1530. I already had in my mind, okay, you know, I was watching Michael Jordan play playoff. You know, it was 96 when he did the, that was my most memorable.
Starting point is 01:35:41 You know what I'm saying? I ain't step on the, fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, nigga. Who next? Miko. step on the, you're fucking, fuck you. Fuck you, nigga. Who next? Miko? I don't have, obviously not, but I just, I remember being a kid watching the Lakers in the 80s and the battles with the Celtics,
Starting point is 01:35:54 and this was before DVR and all that shit, so you had to like, watch the game, you know what I mean? And I just remember just being young and when we dominated the Lakers in that 80s, that era, thats, that era. That was, that's what made me want to be a basketball player. Okay. So question number two.
Starting point is 01:36:11 Gil, we'll start with you first. What current, and this is from Terion Moon. What current NBA player reminds you of yourself? Maybe even a 2.0 version. Dame Lerner. You know, with the shooting, mid-range, getting to the basket, being explosive when he needs to. Like, people don't realize he came in with a 42-inch vertical.
Starting point is 01:36:31 So he uses it when he needs. The clutch shooting at the end of games, which now that I thought about it, he should be the clutch player. Yeah, that should have been his award. But yeah, Dame. None. Nobody. They're not on your level.
Starting point is 01:36:51 Reminds me of me. That plays right now. The only kid I can think of, but he's in high school. He's in high school, the kid that go to Linwood. Jason Crowe? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:00 Well, you're much faster than him. Yeah, but this is like... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the, you know... You're right, you're right. Jason Crowe Jr. Yeah, Jason Crowe Jr. He set the California... Yeah, but he this is like, oh, yeah, yeah, like the you know, right? You're right. Jason Crowe Jr. Yeah, Jason Crowe Jr. Did he set the California record? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:10 Points. Points total. Yeah. Yeah. Total points. Yeah. He was averaging like a 30. I would say that. 36 piece.
Starting point is 01:37:17 Woo. 36. Rashad. Oh, I don't want to be cocky and then you know what I'm saying? Why not? I get your shit off. Fix the crown Anthony Edwards I like Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards Devin Booker okay but they probably think
Starting point is 01:37:31 I'm blowing smoke you know I'm saying delusional as fuck you know what I'm saying but this is but I have fucking game listen I have fucking game I don't get no no you got to go back and ask no you gotta go ask motherfuckers who can play. I can play, man. You're not going to change their minds for the last eight weeks, bro. I know. All right, you've been delusional since day one. You know what I mean? Just keep it going. Today's in the bag.
Starting point is 01:37:52 Yeah. So then, yeah. I'm not even going to- And Edwins is wearing number one. That's what I wore when I was in Minnesota. I had some records and shit. I had some talent, some potential. So you passed the count?
Starting point is 01:38:02 But it wasn't like his. I'm not going to say that I'm like him. Did he ask you for permission to rock number one? Did you have to give him your blessing? No, no, no, no, no. He overrided that shit. I'm going to talk to him next time. Override that shit.
Starting point is 01:38:19 But I like his game as far as similarities and going out there and getting it. And he hardcore. He'll eat your heart out type of let's go question three we can't answer because you know we both chilling on this couch yes but this is from filipino mr ls is not bathing before games actually a genius defensive strategy in the nba is not what not bathing so coming in funky. Oh No, I I had to take shower like I'll take a shower at home I take shower at home put my suit on And then get to the arena work out and then shower at what so people don't shower before the game That's probably high school kind of more like Adam Morris. Y'all don't remember
Starting point is 01:39:02 I'm washing my ass. Adam Morrison was the whole thing. Yeah, before the game. Being musty? Oh, yeah. Steve. No, I gotta wash off the workout. I don't like to be sticky when I'm playing.
Starting point is 01:39:14 So I gotta wash that off and get ready for it. Do you use lotion? Do you use lotion before a game? Yeah. That's interesting. Adam Morrison. Lotion. I got cologne on.
Starting point is 01:39:23 Everything. Hey, listen. I need to feel good. To play good. I used to tell girls this, I need to feel good. I used to tell, play good. I used to tell girls this and it probably can go for guys too, like when we used to have practice or workout
Starting point is 01:39:30 and somebody's like musty, musty and they'd be like, oh it was from the workout. No it wasn't. You was musty when you got here. You came here smelling like
Starting point is 01:39:38 You just reactivated something that was already active under you. Like I have never been musty after playing anything ever in my life. And that's because I was not musty
Starting point is 01:39:49 before it started. That's true. So have you guarded someone musty? Absolutely. I played in Europe. So think of their advantage. Their advantage is you playing somebody. You don't want to guard nobody musty, right?
Starting point is 01:40:00 That's cool. Listen, that is a strategy, but that's not a good strategy. It'll piss me off. That was Adam Morrison's strategy. To be stank? I threw my jersey out. My jersey had to be smelling good. Yeah, I had to be right.
Starting point is 01:40:15 Didn't Dennis Rodman do that? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Stinky booty? Yeah, there's guys out there who don't clean. They wasn't cleaning their socks and all that stuff. Then all that shit, what was that shit called? It was going around. Oh, the shit in the showers. That shit.
Starting point is 01:40:31 Yeah. That shit. Like, you don't wear my, so I always wear brand new socks, brand new boxers, and tights. Every time? Yeah. But you throw the boxers away? Yeah. I'm not brand new, but everything got to be clean.
Starting point is 01:40:44 No, no, no. They were that rich. It's called a team. Okay. But they gave the boxers away? Yeah. I'm not brand new, but everything got to be clean. No, no, no. They were that rich. It's called a team. Okay. But they gave you new shit every game. Do you feel like somebody... So they got brand new socks. Was somebody taking your boxers home and they were just stacking them?
Starting point is 01:40:55 I don't know what to do. I just need to feel... You can't wear another man's underwear. I need to feel good. So it's brand new socks every time I put something on. All right. We got two more questions. What duo who hasn't played together, would you like to see
Starting point is 01:41:06 play together? And they suggested LeBron and KD, but who do you guys got? I got one. Go ahead. I want LeBron and Dame Lillard. I would like to see that too. I would like to see that in 2023. Jordan and Kobe.
Starting point is 01:41:21 Who would get the ball? It don't matter. That'd be a fight. It don't matter. Jordan and Kobe. Who would get the ball? It don't matter. That'd be a fight. It don't matter. It'd be a fight. Jordan and Kobe. That would be crazy. They're going to be cutthroat. Yeah, but they're going to be fighting each other. You don't think so?
Starting point is 01:41:35 Cutthroat everybody. I want to see the defense face when they got to face the two assassins. How would they work this team? It don't matter. Why are you asking me a question? No, I'm not even talking about on the court. How does it work? Do you think they would fuck with each other, or would they be at odds with each other?
Starting point is 01:41:48 No, yes. They'd be boys? Yes. I just feel like Kobe would want to try to prove to Jordan that he's just as good as him. Yes. And then Jordan would be trying to be like, no, little nigga, give me the ball. So who's going to get the ball? It don't matter who's going to get the ball.
Starting point is 01:42:02 The other three ain't getting it. There's three other players. They're not getting it. It's just these two hit it Cool Right now I want right now. I want to see Giannis and Steph Curry play. Oh My god, I don't like I want to see them team up I don't feel like that's a far-fetched thing down the road a couple years from now I don't know where it would be where it would be They gotta hurry up cuz that's like cheating part of the B now. I don't know where it would be. Where it would be. Wow. That would be nuts. But you got to hurry up.
Starting point is 01:42:25 Isn't that like cheating? Isn't he part of the Bucs? You can't do that. What? He should be fine. He can't do that. Right? Why?
Starting point is 01:42:32 You can't. You know, Bucs and Floyd, they have a partnership. Tough crowd merchandise. I know. See? I'll be wearing something walking. He's like trying to recruit. He's trying to recruit.
Starting point is 01:42:40 You can't recruit. Intermediate. He's trying to recruit. Oh, my God. And our last one is not a question, but Jail Gang said, I don't know if my questions are good enough. It ain't. It ain't.
