Gil's Arena - The Mavs Already REGRET Anthony Davis & The Luka Trade

Episode Date: February 10, 2025

Kendrick Lamar's Halftime Show ELECTRIFIES Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena react to Kendrick performing a victory lap on his beef with Drake in the middle of the Super Bowl and break down their thoughts on how K-Dot planted his flag on perhaps the greatest rap beef of all time. They then move to hoops where they react to Anthony Davis giving the Dallas Mavericks the full AD experience, as the former Los Angeles Lakers big man delivered an impressive first half in his debut but quickly ruined it as he exited the game due to injury that may have him sidelined for several weeks. The GA Crew debate if Davis showing his true self should make the Dallas Mavericks regret trading Luka Doncic and imagine just how good this Mavs teams would be a full strength. Next, Gil's Arena reacts to some of the biggest news of the weekend as the world of the Los Angeles Lakers was flipped upside down once again when the team reversed their trade of Dalton Knecht for Mark Williams and saw career high performances out of LeBron James, Austin Reaves and Bronny James as they await the Lakers debut of Luka Doncic. Finally, they react to the fallout of the other major NBA Trade Deadline deal where Jimmy Butler shined in his Golden State Warriors debut alongside Steph Curry and proved he may be finding his basketball joy in Golden State.

Well, we got a lot to discuss today. This is Gil's Arena presented by $100. Woo-woo. As always, we got the legend Gilbert Arenas here with us. Uh-oh, Gil, you already got the shirt. Who's up? Woo! Mm-hmm.

Ucahal. He played today. Look at Magic. Hell yeah. Making Luka home. He playing the day. Luka magic. Yeah. Hell yeah. Making his debut tonight. 22,000 shirts. Luka Day.

The new face of the franchise. 22 what? You done caught. They put a Luka jersey on, or shirt, on everybody's chair. Shut up. That's hard. Yeah. They, they, nah, I'm not going to fight.

I'm just going to be honest and copy, they copied me, but it's cool. You found a t-shirt plug, didn't not going to force it. I'm just going to be honest and copy me, but it's cool. You found a t-shirt plug, didn't you? Uh-huh. I mean, for somebody who ain't played a Laker game, yeah, that's big. Big time. For Lakers, like...

Well, we have a former Laker in the building, NBA champion of the world, Swaggy P, Nick Young. Call me Brown Skin. Call me Brown Skin Young. Brown Skin Young. I'm just happy to be not light-skinned today. Okay, Brown Skin Young. Brown Skin Young. I'm just happy to be, like, not light-skinned today. OK, Brown Skin Young. Brown Skin Young.

Still Swaggy P or in addition to Swaggy P? Brown Skin P. Brown Skin P. Is that a? What does that mean? Is that a fear of God? Is that a fear of God, John? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Special? Little NBA Laker edition, you know? Ooh. I call her hard. Brown Skin P. My man, Glenn Mollis, man. I got something on, too, god damn. I ain't even serious. My man, Glenn Mollis, man. I got something on too, god damn. Yes, I thank you.

And on this side of the couch, with his customary spiked bat, we got the man known as Cemetery Larry. Rashad McCann's here with us. Let's go, birds. And representing Tough Crowd, Tough Crowd University, we got Mr. B, Brandon Jennings, back in the building. And for everybody in the chat, we know how much you love our live show. So NBA All-Star Weekend only a few days away.

Gills Arena is pulling up to the bay. You heard it right, ladies and gentlemen. We're doing shows on Thursday night and Friday at the Emporium Arcade Bar in the heart of the city in San Francisco. We got special guests coming through, special prizes for all the fans in attendance. So make your next move your best move and come turn up with us.

Tickets are free on a first come first serve basis, but are guaranteed to reach capacity. So hurry up and get them now. It might be too late, all right? We got to have the whole crew. Like I said, we got special guests. We got prizes. Is this terrible?

Hmm? It's cold medicine. That has nothing to do with the issue at hand. Brown skin pee, but just hit the link in the chat show description or the QR code on the screen. Whoa.

Hit the QR. He said I was weak. Brown skin pee, baby. Hit the QR code. If you're going he said. I'm scared of pee-pee babies. Hit the QR code.

But for all the fans out there, we still got two viewing options for you, our traditional version, mobile vertical version. Pick whichever one you want to watch. Just make sure you support your favorite show. Here's what's cracking in the arena today. Luka is on the way, but Mark Williams is on the way back to the Hornets. What impact will the lack of depth at center have

on the Lakers and Leluka Bronchik? That is their official name, Leluka Bronchik. Coined here in the arena. Do not listen to any other nickname that they give you. It is Leluka Bronchik. AD was cooking in his debut with that they give you. It is LaLuca Brunchy. AD was cooking in his debut with the Mavs, but left the game with a hip injury. Could be out for extended time.

Why y'all... Come on now. Look at that face. Like a nose being in the front. Yeah, it's like he like... His nose was like got pushed. Why you ain't tell me I was getting traded? Little D-Law.

Is Dallas regretting their decision? And Jimmy Butler looked like he got his joy back in his Warriors debut, but can the Dubs get back to their winning ways? I like Jimmy and Steph out there. They definitely look like they could lose to the Lakers in five. If they keep playing at the highest level, they could definitely get a game off the line. That was a good one.

That was a great one. Hey, listen. I didn't agree with one. You stopped that man in his tracks. Boom! That was a great one.

with Jalen Hurts getting redemption and the Super Bowl MVP. But we're not going to talk about the game. We're going to talk about the Super Bowl halftime show. All eyes were on Kendrick Lamar for his Super Bowl halftime performance. Fresh off winning five Grammys the previous Sunday, K-Dot did not disappoint, making history

as the first solo hip hop artist to do the Super Bowl. Let's take a look, man. Yeah, you can give it up. Performance started off with Samuel L. Jackson taking on the role of Uncle Sam, urging Kendrick to play the game the right way, or should I say the white way. Naturally, Kendrick did not heed that advice,

letting the world know, and one man in particular, the revolution is about to be televised, you picked the right time, but the wrong guy. Set featured a game theme paying homage to a PlayStation controller and squid game with black culture references sprinkled in as Kendrick performed parts of 10 songs. He was wearing a PG Lang chain with the lowercase a

that many assumed was an A minor reference, but Kendrick did make several references to the Drake beat throughout the show, singing a snippet from Euphoria and teasing Not Like Us throughout the set, including a line aimed directly at Drake saying, I want to play their favorite song, but you know they love to sue. SZA made a cameo, and when Kendrick finally did perform Not Like Us, he had Serena Williams crip walking, and much like the Grammys, he had the entire arena screaming, A minor. Kendrick ended the show with TV off, altering the lyrics to turn

his TV off for the chorus and ended the performance with cameras cut into a wide shot of a game over graphic in the stadium. The boogeyman lived up to his name as the show was crazy, scary, spooky, hilarious. Mm-mm-mm. I like that. Thank you. You know, scary, spooky, hilarious. Mm. Uh. Mm, mm, mm. I like that. Uh, uh. Thank you. You know, I do some writing on the side.

Hey. Uh. If you or anybody you know needs a host, by all means. Oh, my god. Hit me on IG. Mm, mm. But let's start. That was the greatest performance, wasn't it?

Absolutely. Better than the Super Bowl. We got a Chiefs fan and the Eagles fan coming together. Yes. United. The U of E. You a Chiefs fan? Yes. Come on together. Yes, you're not you're a chief Don't worry about that

Make they make it Yeah, you're right. I forgot you play. Yeah, I forgot you're getting you that's how That's how we love Damn That's how it went along. You're playing with it. My damn, niggas, that's you out there? He quit, though. No, you're right. He quit. He quit.

No, he quit. Pat quit. Pat quit. He quit. He quit. He quit. He quit. He was throwing the other team the ball.

For sure. Man, niggas, damn motherfuckers controlling this shit. I was like, man. That's not good. You can't save Drake. You can't save Drake. I can't save Drake. You can't save Drake.

Let's stick to this. Yeah. Game over. Let's stick to this. Light skin. Yeah. The side you chose. Brown skin.

The side you chose in the beginning. The side you chose in the beginning. Gil, you picked two. Brown skin is one yesterday. Gil, I know you have your playlist.

You have both artists on your playlist. Have you updated?

You want me to remind you what you said? Oh, no, please. Yeah, please, go ahead. Hey, man, Kendrick better watch out. Kendrick better watch out, hey, man. Drake, man, Drake got ahead. Hey, man. Kendrick better watch out. Kendrick better watch out. Hey, man. Drake. Man, Drake got all these fans, man. Ain't no way he gonna beat Drake, man. Come on, man. Drake is everlasting.

He has all these hits. Yeah, man. Kendrick need to relax, man. Man, y'all said that? No. I don't know who said that. Kendrick need to relax. And you wasn't here, Nicky, with just me and these niggas. I don't know who said that. And I was like, yo, y'all tripping.

No, he was OVO. He had all the OVO functions, had OVO tat. He was Drake. For sure. Mr. B, can you confirm it? He listened to all hit, like, party music, so I could see him being a Drake fan, yeah. Pick a boo.

But I never heard him say he liked Drake, though. No, he didn't say he liked Drake, but he just said, I can't be weak just because he's from LA. It was during the battle. It was during the battle. They were dropping heads. He was like, man, just because he's LA, I ain't just going to be because you're in LA.

No. That wasn't it. No, the problem is he just wants to, like, no one, only he picked a side. He told us we need to pick a side. Yeah, he forced us to pick a side. I like the the music both of them battling. That's what I like. That's Have you ever seen like they was dropping a song every 20 minutes? Big shots never gonna pick a side. Huh? You gotta pick a side. We got you got to pick a side You had to pick a big size now cuz it's like, you know, it's over your band. Well, you know, you're a bandwagon jumper

You got no, I'm still pushing. I'm still pushing play on the 14th. I'm sorry Well, he's big-sized now because it's like, you know, you're a bandwagon jumper. No, I'm still pushing play on the 14th. I'm sorry. For the Party Next Door album? I'm pushing play on the 14th. For real? Yes, for sure. Yeah, I like music.

Guess what? That Drake and Party Next Door. I will be pushing play that day. Guess what? When? On the 14th. On Valentine's Day when Drake and Party Next Door drop, I will be pushing play. Because of what? He making an album?

Yeah, you know what? Everybody's gonna turn their TV off. Yeah. That ain't what he coming back with. Party Next Door? Yeah. He said he got some... All I know is I'm just pushing play.

He said he got some sick songs. All I know is I'm just pushing play. I don't give a damn what it is. I'm pushing play. I never seen somebody that's like number one get just, like you don't want to hear him no more. Like have you ever seen a bigger drop off? Never.

I think never. Never. Like I push fast forward when his song pop up on Spotify. I'm like, I can't listen to it. I promise. And I used to listen to it. These are go to. These are go to Drake.

I used to have go to Drake songs. It don't feel the same. It don't feel the same. He's still a great artist. He is. He's amazing. All I said was, I'm pushing play. I just got to hear it. But how long are you going to push play for? I'm letting the whole album play.

He made him a singer, though. He made him cut his braids off. He said, you got shit twisted. What is it, the braids? So you think Drake is going to own this album and just sing the whole time and not rap? With Party Next Door, what else can he do? He got to sing. I don't know. Twisted so what is it the braids so you think Drake would have album and just sing the whole time and not rap party next Door what else can he do you gotta see you gonna be one. I mean, I don't know he's gonna be I'm pushing play though But back to the performance how draw feel about a lot of mixed reviews a lot a lot of people like the a lot of

people hate it Right, I'm on Twitter all day. I mean you mean the people who like Drake I think just people that was when I'm saying came out. Oh A lot of people were. You mean the people who like Drake? Yeah. That could be a core relationship. I think just people that was in general. When Uncle Sam came out, oh, man. You knew what time it was.

Reckless. This is better. I can get off. Reckless. This is the United States. Get your ass down on that car. That shit was perfect timing, too. Bro, it was incredible. Perfect timing. Obviously, a lot of fans were in the Lil Wayne camp, wanted Lil Wayne to perform in New Orleans at the Super Bowl.

He did. What did he do? Pickleball. You see him? He was in a little box. He came out? Yeah. Stop, man.

He said, peek-a-boo. No, man, stop. No, no. Oh, all right. That was the only thing you didn't bring him out? No, man. Oh, you didn't bring him out? Oh.

Yeah, he did. A lotion commercial. It was lotion? Yeah, he was lotion. He was telling people that he wasn't coming. It was a lotion. It was a commercial? At the Super Bowl?

No, it was like a commercial. For the Super Bowl. Like hinting that he's getting ready to drop a new album, but it was a lotion. It was a commercial? At the Super Bowl? No, it was like a commercial, like hinting that he's getting ready to drop a new album, but it was a lotion commercial, telling everybody that he's not going to be at the Super Bowl. He put lotion on. But that was part of the Super Bowl commercials? No, I think it was before. He said, I'm putting lotion on. It was like, lead up.

He said, I'm putting lotion on, I ain't going to be there. Putting lotion on, I'm not going to be there. Like on YouTube? Like on Instagram? Or actual TV? I saw it on Twitter. Excellent. You call it Twitter, Mr. B. Like halftime, you know how we get ready

for the Super Bowl? The commercials? No, he did this four days before and was like, yeah, I'm not going to be here. I'm not going to be here today, but check out this lotion that I got on. I assume. I got some cocoa butter that you need to invest in some cocoa butter. Cocoa butter.

So we saw Kendrick in the set with the Game Over graphic in the stadium. Is it Game Over for the Kendrick Drake beat? I think it's Game Over for everybody. I think Kendrick is, like, number one in the rap game from overall, like the best ever. All time? The best ever. Wow. And I'm glad he's out of California.

Mm. Mm, mm, mm, mm. It was tough to say because I didn't like to put people over Tupac, but I think after that performance, Kendrick is like... You put Kendrick over Tupac after the Super Bowl halftime? I don't want to... Don't say it like that, but I'm saying Kendrick is the best. We subtly moved... No, say it how you don't say it like that, but I'm saying Kendrick is the best. We subtly moved it.

No, say it how you want to say it. Introduce it. No, say it how you want to say it. We introducing it. The possibility of Kendrick surpassing the greatest of all time. It happened last night. Kendrick Lamar is the greatest rapper ever.

It was an 80 point, it was an 81. That was 81 last night. Sure, I'm rolling with it. 81 like a Kobe game. The message, the message everything everything every production the the dancers It was thing running on the run running like bro. I didn't even know you had to run that field was big as fuck Big feel say say 13 straight minutes. All right, let's be honest. How long you think Wayne was gonna last if you probably Before needing to breathe it. I don't think his stage presence was going to be that...

No, it has to be. Because you have to run around. It's the Super Bowl. It's the Super Bowl, so you got that whole field. You have to be... You can't just stand in one spot. Like, you got to be running around. Nah.

He's just been on the grass just rapping. He can't run. The nigga's just been on... F is for babies. Nigga's just been on the grass in a 50-yard line. Just F. He's the F. Saying the same thing? F is for football.

Dude, I see you're trying not to laugh. You got to enjoy these moments. Hey, listen, I don't want no smoke with nobody. I'm trying to be a comedian and they don't pay well. They don't pay well. Nah, but it's because it's like all this shit that they was trying to do to Kendrick to make his performance not be good. All the shit he had to go through.

And it's like bro, come on man. You gotta be in top shape for that shit, man Like for real like he walking around running out that stage not missing a beat doing dance. He's dancing with the I guess it's like with the bottoms on those with the conversation with Serena. I mean when you come out here and quit walk for me Hmm. I don't even think I had to be a conversation at all She was like, oh, of course. Right? Which one do you wear? Of course. I think once you mention somebody's wife or husband, I mean, it's like, you know what time it is. As someone in the middle, pick a side, Gil.

No. OK. It's your show. As someone in the middle, the greatness of the whole picture speaks volumes, right? When Drake said he was that man, it shows, right? You got the boogeyman comes,

and he attacks you. He wins five Grammys, gets the Super Bowl big, and he cuts your head off right that kind of lets you know how big drake was 100 this is like what happened here is like when ai was facing jordan now imagine if it was the crossover ai scored 60 and hit the game winner on jordan that's what this was, right? You got one who is a GOAT, and then one comes in and says, no, I want that crown.

That's what Kendrick did. You can't say Drake was not relevant. No, no, Drake was the GOAT. He had to be the GOAT for him to be the GOAT now. He was. It was class of the titans. It just lets you know what both did. What one did and what one came to do.

Like, yeah, you Godzilla or whatever, whoever's number one. And I'm coming in and I'm like, all right, I want that crown. Something nobody else could do. Right. So when Kendrick says, yo, I'm him, you are. Everybody shot at this man, and he survived. Yep, yep. Do you think every rapper is jealous of Kendrick?

You gotta be. Gotta be. You gotta be. You see what Kanye said? No, no, no. They were jealous of Drake. No, no, no. They were jealous of Drake.

What did Kanye say? He said, you killed my nemesis. Yep. He didn't say thank you. Right. He said, I wanted to do that. Yeah. Because the credit you get

for killing the great dragon surpasses anything that anybody coming up would want to do. Like Kanye was like, I'm going to kill the dragon. And then in comes He-Man. Yeah, like everybody.

He-Man cut his head off. I got it. Yeah, like everybody in the rap game. Even Jay-Z. Everybody had to sit there Jay Z. Did that backfire on Jay Z? Everybody had to sit there and watch. Did that backfire on Jay Z? Yup.

That backfire on Jay Z? I think he picked him thinking he was going to kill Drake or something. He did. But I think he ended up killing everybody. Everybody. No, for sure. That's what I'm saying. He had not.

It was like self-destruction. Yeah. It was like, yeah, we all going to die today. Like everybody. We all going to die today. We all just buried us all. Yeah,destruction. Yeah. It was like, yeah, we all going to die today. Like everybody. We all going to die today. We all just buried us all. Yeah, like everybody. Yeah, you put somebody up who is young enough, who is skilled enough, and who has the patience to go at them.

Yeah. Right? I mean, we're not talking about a young Jay-Z. We're talking about somebody who's a tactician. Yeah. And, like, Kendrick will go down as the greatest because you took down someone like everybody else took themselves out. Yes. Literally you know this is damn near worse than damn near Ice Cube took down NWA. No

Vaseline. You know what I mean? It's like nobody's nobody on top was taken down by one person. But as a Drake fan, in the beginning, how everybody was just taking shots at you, and you was helping everybody, how you feel about how everybody is now? Hey, that's an American hero story, right? You came in, you got your hair cut off,

what you gonna do? Are you gonna climb back to the top? It's just somebody by two colors, too, though. Yeah're that's all they love you when you're not And it's like what I'm saying other his people around. Oh, is that think about the movies we watch right great One's a hero one gets dropped what you gonna do now the quote is you live long enough as the hero to see myself Become the villain you not even a bit even a villain. Oh, you're not a villain You got your head cut villain. You're not even a villain. You're not even a villain, though. You're not a villain. You got your head cut off. That's not villain. You didn't become a bad guy. That's why I said you can't come back and see me.

Drake is definitely the bad guy. No. Let me tell you why. Let me tell you why Drake is the bad guy. Drake started this. No, he didn't. You're the bad guy. He didn't start this.

Yes, he did. He started it. Kendrick came before his head for a minute. No. No. You never turn it. He came before his head this. Yes, he did. He didn't start this. He started it. Kendrick came before his head for a minute. No. No. You never turn it. He came before his head when he said, a rapper with a ghostwriter.

When did that happen? Oh, no. I wouldn't tell. That's when he was talking about something. Well, you talking about something. You go back to control. You go back to the cypher. That's what I'm saying.

You go back to the B.T. Cypher. Yeah, he took shots at everybody though. Yeah, he took shots at everybody. But this one particularly, this one particularly, is I did a feature on Like That to let y'all know I'm back. And I just said, this is not the big three. Fuck that shit. It's just me.

And y'all took that however y'all wanted and ran with it. So you made a distinct decision to fuck with me after I just came out. I just said I'm back. No, he's the first person shooting. Like that. He was going at them. Look, because you went at me. You said it was a Spider-Man meme.

You pointed at each other. You're saying it ain't got nothing to do with me. It's just you and him. All right, cool. Guess what? Now it's just me. He said big three. Yes, but look.

Get it, but you're not. He added him into the mix. This was just a feature, though. This is a feature on future shit. This ain't my shit. But he added Kendrick in the big three. I get it. He don't want to be in it.

So my verse is I don't want to be a part of y'all big three. It's just me. What you did after that? Give me, uh, drop and give me all that shit and then poking at, alright. But you was not a, but he, Drake was never a bad guy. Yeah. No, not in that scenario. He was the hero.

No, but on season two, this was just like the Joker coming in, killing, killing Batman. No, not in that scenario. He was the hero. No, but on season two, this is just like the Joker coming in killing Batman. No, this is Batman. No, Drake is Batman. Drake is the Joker killing Batman.

Drake is the billionaire vigilante. Batman. Yeah. And the Joker came and killed him. The Joker won. Because what is the Joker? Joker represents what?

The people. The people. So when you got this rich motherfucker acting, and then I come in here and I'm just like, hey man, Joker here. Y'all know I'm here, right? I ain't fucking with nobody. I'm just letting y'all know I'm walking the streets. Again.

Joker got his own movie. Right now, at this point, Batman figure, oh, oh, the Joker back? Oh, the Joker back? Oh, the Joker back? We gonna go fuck with the Joker. But that's what I'm saying. Like, this is the bad guy killing off a hero. It's the bad guy.

Right? That's why I said the hero never lived long enough to see himself. Like, he got killed, so now Joker's walking around. That's the problem. What I'm saying is... Because nobody wants to be a hero. What I'm saying is... It's funny.

I'm saying... Nobody wants to fuck with Joker. I'm saying as he... Because nobody wants to be a hero. But what I'm saying is... I'm saying it as a fucking Joker. I'm saying as he's dying, as he's dying, he's seeing himself become a villain as he's dying. As Kendrick is beating him up, he's seeing everybody look at him like...

You're the hero. You're the one who helped us out. I mean... Who helps Batman? Nigga, you help us. But that's why I said... Drake is a villain. He's a villain now.

No one helped Batman. He is looked as a villain. You got to come back for the dead. If Batman's get his ass whooped, everybody's going to be like, OK. Like when Bane whooped his ass. Like when Bane whooped Batman's ass. You got to come back.

That's what it is. You got to come back. Get him back. All right. Batman, that's what I'm saying. That's exactly what it is. No one's going to help Batman because he's the hero. Bane came in, cracked him up, showed the world.

You ain't him, right? Yeah. Are you going to come back? You got to come back. You can't come back soon. That's the story. I personally think... So it's not the Joker story,

it's the Bane story. Yeah. I personally think that he's coming back too early. Yes. He ain't training. When you're talking about chess, when you're talking about chess moves itself,

you're trying to move a piece still dizzy. Because one, you're suing. You sue, makes them look better. Super Bowl, makes them look better. Nobody wants to hear shit you got going on. Not on Valentine's Day. You have to let... It's on Valentine's Day.

That's what I'm saying. It don't matter. You have to let the joker run around. Yes, and feel like he's winning and get bored Yeah, that was Megamind. Yeah, the fucking show Megamind I'm like, I don't fucking I ain't got I gotta let Kendrick drop his CD You gotta let all of it go well because at this point Kendrick don't have no enemy Yeah, so you gotta let him just go out there and just do what he do you wait two three years, right? Everything got now that they want a hero again. Yeah, because no not doing features

three years Three years the surface has a real villain. He's a surface as a real hell. No, man Wait, you have to be there long enough because remember Kendrick is gonna go again, right? He's gonna sit out four years What is everybody gonna do then? Who is the feature who's the hit maker? Nobody nobody Kendrick is a solo act. He is the Joker. That means he's not friends with none of these He don't fuck with y'all, right he just came to kill me Here you go now don't bother me no more Yeah. He just came to kill me. I came here to kill him. He didn't come to save y'all. I didn't come to kill him.

Here's your body. Here you go. Now, don't bother me no more. You have to let her say it. You got to let the world see it first. You complete me. If I was Drake, I would move back. He said, I need you. I'm going to kill you, Batman.

I got you got to move. I need you. So we will see how Drake responds from this, but let's keep this show going. Today's podcast is sponsored by Rho. I love that segment. Rho Sparks are two-in-one prescription treatment for stronger, harder erections.

Make sure you subscribe to Gills Arena YouTube. But let's talk AD. After missing the previous five games while recovering from an abdominal strain, he suffered in his last game with the Lakers. Anthony Davis made his Mavs debut Saturday afternoon against the Rockets, giving Mavs fans a reason for optimism, if ever so briefly. Let's take a look at the highlights. AD got to work quickly.

Let's take a look. Oh, nice fade away. Finishing the first half. Oh, on another guard. A basket is a basket, all right? Two points at two points. Another guard. Nope.

Shangooini-weenie. Shangoo. Mm. Boom. Shangoo can't go. So AD had 24 points, 13 rebounds, five dimes, and three blocks in the first half, becoming the first player in the play-by-play era with at least 24 points, 12 rebounds, 5 dimes, and 3 blocks in the first half, becoming the first

player in the play-by-play era with at least 24 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks in a half. That's why he's going to be the fool. Mav took a 17-point lead into the break thanks to AD's cookery. Oh, there it is. Look what he's doing out there. Just thought about it. I didn't think about that.

I've seen the big dude out there with him. What's he doing? AD doing his thing. I didn't think about that. I'd seen a big dude out there with him. What's he doing? AD doing his thing, but nothing lasts forever. I don't believe you. You see it right there. Things took a turn for the worse in the third quarter when AD left the game and did not return.

So AD finished with 26.16, bore seven dimes and three blocks in his 30 minutes of action. But obviously, some calls were concerned. Non-contact injury. Left holding his wee-wee. That little Nico. But after the game, AD was optimistic about his outlook, saying, my leg got tight, like a little spasm, came back, tried to get it loose.

Obviously, dealing with the abdominal strain still, so we're just tried to get it loose obviously dealing with the abdominal strain still So we're just trying to get it loose. It wouldn't loosen up or let go but it's nothing serious. I'm fine That turned out to be capped because according to Shams injury is much worse than initially expected. So Shams tweeted the following A D could miss some extended time with an adductor strain, which is swear jargon for a hip injury Because adductor sounds too much like abductor strain, which is swear jargon for a hip injury. Because adductor sounds too much like abductor. It's two different things. It's the hip. Man, just a heat pack, bro.

With Sean reporting, Davis could miss up to a month. Get in the sun and shit. That's what my girl used when she got her period. Yo, come on, man. Gil, that's... Just a little heat pack. Loosen up them cramps. That's a formula.

Get on out there and play, baby. Just go on out and get out there. That's a world champion Laker there, Gil. Come on, man. Yeah, I'm going to give you some credit, but don't tell me I know what I saw. Uh-oh. Mm-hmm.

So it could mess up to a month of action. You think the Mavs are already regretting the Luka AD trade? Yo, don't slander. Why are you slandering already man? We even I mean, I mean one game Already expected to be out for a month. I mean let the death threats and all that shit We're gonna take this custody. Huh? You need secret service. Yeah. Yeah, y'all not about the slander the Mavs man They slandered themselves. It's over. Not going to slander themselves. They slandered themselves.

A month? That's the season over. Yeah, it's over. They're not winning nothing. They're not going to no finals. Look, first of all, we didn't ask for this, nigga. We didn't ask to have them, okay? We wanted to dump what we got.

Y'all gave us what y'all had. Y'all gave us what y'all had. Y'all did ask. We wanted to get rid of what we had, and we was willing to take whatever the hell we could get for it. This is what we got. Right. We have to deal with it right now.

We want AD. We want a big man. That's all we got. That's all we could do. A lot of Mavs fans obviously think they should have asked for more. Yes. They should have. We didn't.

We got AD, Max Christie. AD going to be fine. They're not going to the playoffs. Just like Luka going to be fine, AD going to be fine. They're going to be in the playing. Maybe. They're going to be in the playing. Talk about that. They don't want to play against

Phoenix with no AD. You don't want to play against Minnesota with no AD. He'll be back. He'll be back. He got extra weeks. So he's going to He'll be back. He got an extra week to rest. Yeah. He got an extra week. So he's going to miss somewhere in the range. If it's the full month, like 10 to 13 games.

Mavs currently eighth in the West. Only two games out of the sixth spot. But like I mentioned, AD could be sideline for 10 to 12 to 13 games. And two games out of the 11th spot. Two games out of 11? I'm positive on this show. Did they win that game? Huh? They won that game. They did beat the 11 spot. They're two games out of 11? I'm positive on this show. Did they win that game? Huh? They won that game.

They did beat the Rockets. I mean, they can still win games. Yeah, because I don't believe in the Rockets. I don't think they are. They're going to be in the play-in, too. Really? But you talk about Mavs being in the play-in. If they can get a healthy AD back for the, you know,

at least make a push late March into April. Now, if you're the Thunder, we talk about the same thing on the east side with the Sixers and kind of what they're doing. Do you want to see a Mav squad? Yes. Yeah. In the A1 matchup?

Yep. Hell yeah. Hell yeah, because they don't have no chemistry. No. No, no, no. Every team that's going to be lined up between those spots all play the same. They all play small.

They all play a certain type of system. There's no chemistry. All of them have no chemistry. So all the teams that we're talking about are going to be pent up against each other. It's a toss-up. OKC don't have no chemistry? Step for them.

It's a toss-up. And I'm saying for them, they style of play ain't no different than everybody else's. So it's still a toss-up. Because SGA have a bad game. They dead meat. With Chet coming? I think they meat. They dead meat. He's

giving you 30 a game. If he ended up giving you 21 game, you're looking around like, who the fuck else supposed to give us 30? Who gave you 30 with the Mavs? Kyrie? No, he's not. He can. He can, but he's not. But he can. That's the point. The point of a toss-up. Anybody can

average 30. This is what I'm saying. That's the point. No, no. The point of the toss-up. Anybody can average 30. No. This is what I'm saying. So what's the difference between his 30 and SGA 30? This is the toss-up. The toss-up, what I'm talking about is when you go out there, any given fucking match-up, you're not going to say, I'm going to average 30 in a playoff series like this. Any given game, you can have an off game. Right.

So that's what I'm saying. This particular section of the playoffs where all these teams play the same, it's a toss-up. Houston, Dallas, all these teams, they got the same type of style of play. So if you play good one game, you shoot bad one game, you could be out of there. No, so SGA not getting 30, they still have a good chance of winning.

If Kyrie don't average 30... Kyrie's not gonna average 30. I mean, or get 30, they might not even have a chance. They still got Klay. They still got PJ. They still got guys that can play. And OKC don't have guys that can play? Not to that level. Wow. Jalen Williams is your second

best player. Chet coming back, though. Chet coming back. What's his name? Einstein? But they're number one in the West, so they're playing. Chet Hologram and Einstein. One thing about Dallas is that what they haven't put into consideration. When Kyrie is the number one option, he goes into another role. The role is he becomes a facilitator.

He's non-aggressive. He's trying to get everybody involved. He's like a traditional point guard. Like if you look at the first half where he took three, four or five shots, right? He's because he's trying to get everybody involved. Now, if you're making your number two option AD, the number one option, you have a problem because we know he's going to disappear in the fourth quarter. And if Kyrie hasn't got his shit going to take over in the fourth,

that's what ends up happening. But you know Kyrie's the second option? Yeah, I was about to say that. He gets to be on kill mode the whole time. But in the fourth with Luka, what happened? That whole playoff series we was saying, Kyrie not going to be the one to show up between one and three. He's going to show up fourth.

Because Luka does what? One through three. So what you're saying is, if we put AD as the number one option for the first three quarters, who's closing the game? It's not the same. It is the same. How is it different?

You have a real number one who's going to be number one in the fourth. So he's battling with you. No. No. Because I just outlined Luka. I just outlined Luka and Kyrie did the same thing that they're going to do now. Luka and Kyrie is better than Kyrie. They went back and forth.

How many game winners did Luka have in the playoffs? We're not talking about game winners. You got to say game winners. No, we're not. Because you're telling somebody who's taking these big shots during that moment. But that last shot is not all the big shots. Four quarters is a whole thing. So I could have ten points in the fourth and not hit the game winner.

Luka can still hit the game winner. So you got one has ten points, one has eight. Two. Two. Who? Luka has two and He had the game winner. I got the other ten. Yeah.

You're making that up. That's not a real thing. What do you mean? That's Kyrie taking over the fourth. Can you go and show us what Luka's fourth quarter points were? Oh, my God. I'm not giving exact points, bro. You need to.

No, I don't. We know one is not going to score in a four. AD is not scoring in the fourth quarter. His history shows. So he has zero points. His history shows. His history shows the average. So he's telling me I can't be precise, and then he's not being precise.

What are you talking about? He said you got to be a number. Nigga, AD actually scores points in the fourth. He scores points. You're saying zero. What is Anthony Davis' fourth quarter score? You want Anthony or Luka first? Anthony Davis.

Okay. Jesus Christ. Haven't we went through this already? No. These are in the playoffs, so AD. I mean, whatever makes his argument seem a little bit better. Playoffs, regular, whatever. Yeah, we can do the last three years.

Last three years with two points? I mean, we've went through this. He scores. He was with Brian, though. We literally had this conversation about who handles the fourth quarter points between a lot of different teams and a lot of different players. Murray, Kyrie, all this. We agreed that Kyrie is the fourth quarter guy for Luka. So we agreed that.

So this season, AD's averaging five points, two and a half rebounds in the fourth quarter. Now, what does Luka average? So, Luka, I'll give you the, hold on one second. Five points? Damn. It's at the beginning. So, this season, Luka's at six and two, but in the playoffs last season, hold on one second, he averaged six points.

Okay, and what does Kyrie average? Kyrie in the fourth quarter. this season, 7.4 points. This season? Last year. This season, Luka's been hurt. Where is the camera? He's been hurt, man. Where's the fucking camera?

Right there. Now it's hurt. He's been hurt! Now it's something else. So Kyrie, fourth quarter in the playoffs, he averaged seven points last year, 20-24 plus. So that's 13 points between those two. No, bro, don't do that. Don't change it.

That's 13 points. What did I say? I said they go back and forth. Thank you. You said. They went back and forth. That's what I said. So I said they're going back and forth.

He's scoring, he's scoring. If AD disappears in the fourth, it's just him by himself. He does. He averaged five. He only averaged one. The top of the third. I mean, the top of the fourth is when he scored. He don't score the last five minutes of the game.

It's going to be hard. Bro. Watch the game. You got to watch. We just proved it just now. No, but in the playoffs last year, AD averaged four points. Or excuse me, three points. Oh, my God.

Why? Why? What is the conversation we had of why AD's averaging three points in the fourth quarter? No, we know what you say. And it's only one series. We know what you say and it's only once We know what you say five games Hardest gentlemen sweeping NBA history. We know you serious Why is ad averaging three points a game in the fourth quarter before the Los Angeles like why we know why we know why why?

LeBron James you could do this bubble. Okay, so you take him and put him on Dallas You say you don't got no Luca or LeBron James. You can do his bubble ear. Okay, so you take him and put him on Dallas, and you say you don't got no Luka or LeBron. Kyrie says, listen, I really prefer waiting and getting my teammates involved, playing real basketball, and taking over in the fourth. So listen, AD, this is perfect for you, bro. Hey, what did Kyrie average with LeBron James in the fourth quarter when he played in Cleveland?

What season would you like to know? I mean, don't, I mean. It don't matter. You can say how much AD averages above you when they would. We can look it up. But I just want to know the fourth quarter because I know for sure Kyrie had the ball a lot. Of course.

So 2016 playoffs, he averaged six points. And then let me give you the finals. So he averaged more with Luka. He averaged more in the fourth with Luka. Finals, he averaged five points. He averaged more. Who averaged more? Kyrie averaged more in the fourth with Luka

than he did with LeBron. What about AD in the bubble? OK, let me. I got a lot of questions. That's what he means. That's fourth quarter Kyrie, man. But they won. Give him a chance.

So in the bubble, AD averaged 5.5 points in those 19 playoff games. How much did LeBron average in the playoffs? He's trying to figure it out. He's trying to figure it out. I know the answer.

He's trying to find his angle. That nigga put me in the works. You did last year, right? It's going to be tough. I did the 2020 playoff. No, no, no. For AD, you said

AD averaged 3 last year. What did LeBron average? Because, I mean, LeBron's going to have to average about 20 for AD not to get the ball. But we know he don't start the fourth quarter. LeBron averaged 10 points. 10 points.

At the age of 38? I can't miss. At the age of 39? Huh? Yeah. I can't miss. Oh, wait, 38. I can't miss.

At the age of 39. Wait, 38. Excuse me. 39. How much did Austin Reed do? I can't miss. That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. And I'm. Excuse me. 39. How much did Austin Reeves have? Can't miss. That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous.

And I'm only getting three. I'm getting three. He's getting 10, and you're telling me I'm number one? No, I'm not the number one. He's the number one. Don't be depending on me to do shit. I'm averaging three points in the fourth. He's averaging 10.

You're telling me I can't go to Dallas and help this dude down here? He's getting seven? He's getting seven? Don't say it yet. Now, listen to the next name. Austin Reeves. The best third option in the NBA, 2024 playoffs, in the fourth quarter, averaged seven points.

Oh, wow. Shut all that up. How? What did I just say? Austin Reeves. Why is Austin Reeves averaging seven in the fourth? Because he's a beast. He was balling in that playoff. Because in the fourth quarter? Because he's a... You gotta was balling in that play. Because in the fourth quarter. Because he's a.

You got to have nuts in the fourth. No, no, no. In the fourth quarter. This is Gilbert moving the goalpost. Anthony Davis. This is goalpost. Anthony Davis starts the fourth quarter. LeBron doesn't start the fourth quarter.

So he's out there with Austin Reeves, Rui. That's how he started. Okay. Austin Reeves is taking all the shots. Then when LeBron comes in, he takes over. This man's been docile this whole time. Why did I average three, why did you average seven, and why did he average ten?

You give us that answer. I do my job in the first three quarters, like you said Shaq used to do. Guess who took over in the fourth? Austin Reeves. Somebody else but me. Somebody else. And what did I just... I just laid out the blueprint for Dallas. Austin Reeves. Somebody else but me. Okay. Somebody else. And what did I just, I just laid out the blueprint for Dallas.

The same thing. Y'all move the goalposts and make me sound like I'm crazy. But it's like, yo, you're going down to Dallas. You're going to be the one through three guy. We got a fourth quarter guy. That's all I've been saying this whole time. Then I had to prove that AD can average a certain amount of points. Kyrie averaged seven.

Three. He averaged three in the playoffs. No, AD averaged five. He can't just go on his worst one. That was the season. For the season, he averaged five. Josiah, could you please correct this dude? Hold on.

AD, again, let me. No, AD averaged five for the season. That was the most. AD averaged 3.2 points in the fourth quarter in the 2024 playoffs. Okay. Thank you. In five games. And what did the third option average? Because I'm trying to figure out why they're not...

When LeBron's off, why aren't... But LeBron... Why aren't those guys... AR. LeBron passed to the AR for game winning. What I'm saying is, when we was making this argument about number two, the problem was always this. When LeBron's off the floor, how come you can't get the ball from A.R. and ruin him?

That was the argument. Because I'm the big man, and I can't dribble the fucking ball up the court and pass it to myself. Yeah. That's right. No, you're not a big—you're a guard, my brother. Okay, now I'm a guard. Yeah, you play like one. Everything you do is ISO at the top of the key. Now I play like a guard.

ISO at the top of the key. So now I got passed to myself? Nah, I think that was like post moves. He was just doing it. Yeah, he's posting up a five. What you want me to do? That's why he went down. What you want me to do?

Come down, go for the post. Come down and do pick and roll? You going to do pick and roll with AD and AR? Pick and roll? Come down, go get on the block and ask for the ball. Dallas did it. You want to go back to the highlights? Hey, can you go back to the highlights?

So that would mean that AR and whoever else is ignoring him, right? Who gave him the ball? Okay. That means that you're ignoring him, right? Yeah. Why? That's what he did right there. He can't do that?

You can't do that in the fourth quarter is all I'm saying. Why not? Because LeBron has the ball. LeBron not in the game. You can't average five when LeBron's out the first five minutes? No, he's averaging ten. It's only a certain amount of points we have. I got it. He got seven, ten, and three. Got it. Seven, ten, and three. That's

20 points in the fourth. And why A.R.'s not averaging three and you averaging seven? If he didn't get hurt, this would have been good. If he didn't get hurt, they would have been happy as hell in Dallas after this. I think less sad. They keep giving him the ball. If he didn't get hurt, they would have been happy as hell in Dallas after this. I think less sad. I don't know what happened.

You know what? How do you get this aggressive through three corners? Hold up. Not yet. Almost. Here, here. Stop that right there. Almost, Brody.

Now, you're telling... Listen. I don't want to say someone's weak-minded right But if your only reason I'm so if your only reason To want to be the foreman is to go against everybody That's six six and six seven because they're playing so small and everyone's guards that is weak Hmm, what's weak you Hmm? What's weak? You want to play power forward because today's power forward is Thompson,

who's a guard. He's a guard. You want to go against all the guards in the post. Take advantage, right? To take advantage of guards. So if that's the only reason you keep complaining about being a four man is because everybody's little and you get the advantage, that says a lot to me. But that's what it was when he was the four man. But don't you want the advantage

though? Don't you want the advantage? If 80's at the four and they got a true five, I mean, that means I'm playing the advantage. First of all, that's not even a true four position. So I'm going to take advantage, right? I'm a four man. But what I'm saying to advantage. Why? First of all, that's not even a true four position. So I'm going to take advantage, right? I'm a four man. But what I'm saying is, in the air, I'm a four man. You're screaming you want to be the four because you're playing against 6'6", 6'7", guys. Sounds familiar to me. And what is the average four guy in the NBA?

They changed it. But it was 6'10". It was. He's a natural four. That's what I'm saying. So right it. I mean, right, but it was 6'10". It was. He's a natural four. That's what I'm saying. So right now, I'm going to take advantage. It's so weird

because it's like two guys that I know are like big enough to play four. They went from three to four and they're great players, but the advantage is available for them

at the four. Yeah. You know these two players I'm talking about? Who? KD and LeBron James. Okay. They moved to a better advantage. two players I'm talking about? KD and LeBron James. They've moved to

a better advantage. Exactly what he's talking about. These two great players no longer play a position where they'll be outclassed and outcompeted against. When you're talking about younger, more athletic players. Let's move down to the four position

where we have to do less. And LeBron, he can do more because they think he's going to do less. He's the four man for the Lakers. AD, oh, I want to do what LeBron's doing. LeBron can actually play the point and have to guard a 6'4 guy. And a 6'4 guy have to guard him. Isn't that an advantage?

You said he could. Isn't that an advantage? Could. We can play LeBron at the two. We can play LeBron at the two. We could. That's not real. That't that an advantage? Could. We could play LeBron at the two. We could play LeBron at the two. We could. That's not real.

Just to create the shit, right? So AD, like, man, listen, man. If you're going to create the mismatches for him, create them for me, too. I don't want to just be playing against five men, bro. Put me in the four. Put a five by everybody to see what it look like. Lakers will never ever be able to do that, except for when they win the championship. So when LeBron James is out of the game like why he can't do that then you tell me

I know if he's in voice if he's voices opinion about Jalen Ray then why he don't tell him real when LeBron come out put me At the four and run some place for me at the four seem like What got him in Dallas she the five minutes gonna guard him no matter what cuz he's the biggest on the court No, you want to put someone else bigger on the court? Nah. Nah, because that's Google not guarding him. The Lakers have a five. Huh?

That's Google can't guard him. That's why they got to guard him. It don't matter. With the smalls. Those guarding him with the smalls out there. Why can't San Goon guard him? What are you going to do, face up? He's just going to try to take it out?

He's just going to try to be a guard. See, when he plays against big men, he tries to use his quicksand. He wants that. Why wouldn't you want that as a player? Which part? The part where I can take Sengun and just mix him out. No, that's what Sengun's the five. He wants to be the four.

So if he wanted to be who? Make your statement. All right. Jeff Green. I'm posting Jeff Green's little ass up. That's why I'm playing the four. Matter of fact, who else? Fucking A-Man Thompson is playing the four?

Bring his little ass down. He lunched me. That's what we just said. Yeah. That's what we just said. That's what we just said. That's the point. And that's what I was saying. That's why he wanted to go to the four. I'm saying it's not weak because another motherfucker been doing it.

Oh, no, I didn't say it was weak. Another motherfucker been doing it for the last five years. Moving between positions to see where the advantage is. You running pick and roll to get a switch for the big, bro. You're not going one-on-one with the nigga that's on your position. This whole league is on some weak-ass whack shit on that switch, switch, switch. Let me find out who can't. Man.

I've never seen my guy do that. Who's your guy? Oh. Pick a boo. What a beautiful time. Glorious mother. It's the debut of the Luca Bronsic.

Lakers. Or Dallas. Dallas had a good chance. Is Dallas going to win a championship? They're not. They already mentally fucked up. Just like when Clippers made the statements going into the bubble. You can't win. You're mentally fucked up.

You're mentally not ready to play. If I'm sitting here as a fucking 6'11 defensive guy scoring and I'm saying I want to be the four and my motives are because I get to take advantage of little dudes. There's a mental problem there. Not saying I don't give a fuck who guards me. I'm busting their ass. The fact that you said, nah, I want guards to guard me so I can feel better about myself. So what happens when you play against the bigger teams?

Are you not going to feel good? Are you not going to feel comfortable? When you go against the Bucks, you're not going to feel comfortable guarding motherfucker, um... Giannis? Huh? You're not going to,

you're going to run away from Giannis and go to Lopez. Now you want to be the five because Lopez didn't shoot. How long have I been playing the five? Here in LA. You can't say it's bad for his week. No, no, no.

How long have I been playing the five? But the thing is, what is going to happen though when they get down to the tough matchups? Why are you saying that? Why are you asking that question? Because it's going to happen. But you're asking that question

like he hasn't been playing the five for the last five years, bro. You're acting like he's never put numbers up against these bigs. He's been crying for five years. No, he hasn't. He's been averaging 26 a game. He's been crying.

He's been 26 and 12. What are you talking about? He's not crying about being a five. He's been crying about it the whole time. So imagine what my numbers would be if I was at the four. If I'm crying about 26 and 12, imagine what I should be celebrating. And we didn't say that he's been, why are you crying if these are your numbers?

That's not what we've been saying. Why are you trying to go to the five? I mean, why are you trying to go to the four if you've been having these great numbers at the five? Imagine my numbers at the four. That's why. Imagine my numbers at the four if I'm doing this at the five. My numbers are going to go up at the four. My numbers are going to go up tremendously. And he got the advantage. He can win. My average is 30 at the four. That's why. Imagine my numbers at the four if I'm doing this at the five. My numbers gonna go up

tremendously. My average 30 at the four. What happened to Cat when he went from four to five? Numbers went up. Is his numbers up in New York? Rebounding way up. What's your responsibility as

Cat? You with Rudy? Man, Rudy, move out of here. Man, this is my real position. You're saying the opposite. Well, I'm not. That's like him playing the five right now, doing all these great numbers, but complaining he want to be the four again. No, it is not. Because he's not complaining about being the four again. He's not complaining.

I know he's not complaining. He's enjoying being the five. Anthony Davis is complaining. He wants to be the four now. There are two different players, bro. They're not the same guy. They're two four now. They're two different players, bro. They're not the same guy. They're two different guys. They're two different guys. He's saying that they're both in their real position now.

So like... Two of them were four men, right? No. They both got pushed to the five. One is enjoying the five in New York. The other one is having a great-ass five-man career, but he's saying, no, I want to play against the forwards now. What are you talking about? Both of them niggas were centers in college.

Both of them. Centers. Whatever position they came into the league and played was their troopers. They both came in as centers. They were never power forwards. Who? AD and Cat. They both got drafted

as centers. I mean, we can look it up. Oh, no. I think it's Power Forward. Oh, Anthony Davis. Give me the Power Forward. Anthony Davis, Power Forward. It's Power Forward. Nope.

It's Power Forward. How tall is Anthony Davis? Both of them. I don't give a fuck how tall he is. I'm telling you what he's tall as. What was Anthony Davis in that position in college? Both of them Power Fours. It's too easy.

Too easy? But, I don't say it. How can you crucify him for doing what others are doing? That's what I'm saying. Like, how can you just single him out when others are taking advantage of different things? He played power forward his first three years, and then in 15, 16, he moved to the center spot. And then they got DeMarcus Cousins.

DeMarcus Cousins. And then he moved back to the power forward. Yeah the party at Dante Cunningham at the five. Come on, man You gonna you going on your phone to do all that man. Yeah, I don't just say shit Dante Cunningham was playing a five Six a vision does this six seven power for 6'7". Power forward, power forward, power forward, then center, center, then power forward, then center, then...

Okay. Jesus Christ. If he wasn't a center, it wouldn't say center, would it? All right, well, let's keep this thing moving. Remains to be seen when AD will be back.

Last year, what does it say he was last year? Power forward, center. And what is he having now? Power forward. Okay. All right. I use the facts. I don't just say it.

But besides that, is anybody scared of Houston in the playoffs? No. That's what I'm saying. No, they too young right now. But they got a lot of pieces, though. They still building. If AD didn't get hurt, I think they would have been in the play-in, Houston.

What the fuck about Houston? Wait, if who didn't get hurt? If they're in the play- playing, they're in the playing. But they went from two to... The way the Lakers is playing, the way other people are getting, I think towards the end of the season, I don't see them being stuck in that two spot. That's what I'm saying. I agree.

Yeah. They ain't got enough experience to hold it up. Yeah, that's what I was talking about. Rock is currently fourth in the West. They play young, too. They're moving down. They're dropping down. They play young, though. They I was talking about. Rock is currently fourth in the West. Played young, too. They're moving down. They ain't dropping down. They played young.

They played young, though. They have been dropping down. And Edoka don't know who to trust. He don't know who to trust. So we'll get that tonight. That's what I'm saying. In the debut of the Luka project. The Lakers are going to move up.

But back to the Mavs, remains to be seen how long AD will be out for, how it would impact the team. Dude, we want to see Dallas first round. Let's say Dallas is second. I mean, seventh, then we second. We're going to talk about that in one second, Nick, because that's a great question. Excuse me, Browns can't pee.

Thank you. So unfortunately, AD may not be taking part in All-Star Weekend, but Gills Arena will be there. Yeah.

On the team is cool, but you got to get in the game to have experience, though, right? Swaggy, did you get in game? Of course. Thank you. What are we doing here? Let's stick together. This is about the Gills Arena live show. But no, I'm just saying.

So let's talk about the Luka front. Obviously, Luka making his debut tonight with the Lakers, but let's talk about his old team. There's been a lot of haterade flowing from inside the Mavs organization in the aftermath of the Luka trade to the Lakers. So a week after the deal, Mavs governor Patrick Dumont finally broke his silence on the trade that sent shockwaves to the Lakers. So a week after the deal, Mavs governor Patrick Dumont finally broke his silence on the trade that sent shockwaves around the basketball world.

So Dumont did an interview with Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News and appeared to take a shot at Luka, saying, quote, "'In my mind, the way teams win is by focus, by having the right character, by having the right culture, and having the right dedication to work as hard as possible to create a championship-winning outcome. And if you're not doing that, you're going to lose.

He went on to say, if you look at the greats in the league, the people you and I grew up with, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, they worked really hard every day with a singular focus to win. And if you don't have that, it doesn't work. And if you don't have that, you shouldn't be part of the Dallas Mavericks. Should never through Shaq in here. That is Mavs Governor Patrick Juma. Obviously, him and the audience and crew.

He should've stayed. Purchased the team from Mark Cuban. Mark Cuban has gone on and said he tried to nix the deal, but it was too late. They let him know, but he said, no, don't trade Luka. Come on now, what y'all doing? They have other plans perhaps.

A relocation to Las Vegas, who knows? So Lakers and Mavs will meet for the first time since the trade on February 25th. The Gills Arena crew will be there. We will have a suite. We're not giving that location yet. Pull up on us, and we're going to have beverages and snacks in the suite. But wise move for the Mavs to be poking the Slovenian bear that is Luka Doncic. It lets me know they're not happy with their trade.

I'm sorry. It's like you're trying to convince us why you traded them. I mean, you don't hear nothing from Lake. We don't give a fuck what you're talking about. We're not saying we traded Anthony Davis because of this, that, that. They're not calling him Bambi. Right? We just got rid of him. Like, if you was really satisfied and really believed what you was doing, you didn't have

no narratives to push. Just, we traded him. We didn't want him. That's it. Keep it moving. But, oh, he's 270. Oh, he's this. Like, you're trying to appease someone.

Yeah, the people in Dallas. Is it yourself? Is it the fans? The people in Dallas. Yeah. The people in Dallas. They out there. Yeah, they about to, they trying to off the people in Dallas. Is it yourself? Is it the fans? The people in Dallas. The people in Dallas. They out there. Yeah, they trying to off the gym.

Yeah, we need to let people know, yo, this is why we're doing it. For our protection. People are crazy. They can't go nowhere. Cool. So we got to tell you why we did this. But that's what I'm saying. Like, that ain't genuine then.

Listen, if the Lakers traded Kobe Bryant back in Kobe Bryant's heyday, the Lakers will have to tell people why they traded Kobe Bryant. That didn't happen, so I don't know. But they would have to because that's how big the asset is. When we traded Shaq, the Lakers organization. They told us why. Yes, they did. Kobe did.

The Lakers organization. Okay, the organization. Kobe Bryant is the, okay. I want him. I did. The Lakers organization. Okay. The organization. Kobe Bryant is the... Okay. I want him. I want... Okay. The organization.

He was too heavy. He was... Like, we... Like... There was rumors around here. It was. He read the paper. He was reading the paper.

He's tripping. If you know what it means when they say, we don't want you, compared to, I don't want you. Hey, listen. We have agreed you need to get the fuck out of here who us the Dallas Mavericks Yeah, I'm out of here. That's we we know you got to get the fuck you got you left you traded You don't have to keep coming up with excuses. Oh why I use there's no excuse

You just said you just made it big ass first of all wasn't an excuse that was the reason you were looking What are you talking about? I do we know? He said it. He quoted it. He said, listen, you're not what we're looking for. Why is he saying it? Because of what? Because of the film we watched. The film we watched of him playing.

Because everybody's asking. So that means it's an excuse. It's an excuse, or do I have to make a statement? You think they wouldn't have paid him if that wasn't? I have to make a statement. What I'm saying is we don't know why the truth is He's gonna say that he's gonna say that we don't know not cuz he don't know that this dude is telling his truth I didn't want to resign as do I'm not giving him 85 million a year. He jogging back on defense He didn't want this dude's preference of a player.'s like them names he named? Nah, man. You're just ad-libbing.

But you're ad-libbing him. He ain't one of them. We don't know why you traded him when you traded him. Now we know why because people are asking questions. So you're giving them reasons. So you're saying he lying? We don't know what it is. He...

I don't give a fuck what he's saying because a gun is pulled to your head? Because you can't walk outside? But they been saying that though. We all,? But they've been saying that, though. We all, everybody's been watching Dallas, been saying, hey, man. Everybody's been watching Dallas. He don't play championship basketball. None of us. Just like James Harden. He wasn't playing championship basketball.

They play the same way. Kevin McHale came out and said why he didn't want James Harden. What was wrong with that in Houston? He definitely did. They always come out and say why. They have to. You have to come out and say why. They have to. You have to come out and say it. Why didn't the Lakers want Andy Davis?

I don't think it was a... It wasn't a... Yeah, exactly. First of all, it's not even... No, no, no. But not even that, though. Andy Davis is not even that big of a player to even give a reason to.

I think they loved AD, but when you have the opportunity... Honestly, he's not even that big to even be giving a reason to. Man, get on. Bye. He's not big enough for that. So, he's not even that big to even be given a reason to. Man, get on, bye. He's not big enough for that. He's not big enough. Man, listen, if the Boston Celtics traded Jason Tatum, we need a goddamn reason.

Certain players, we need a reason. Certain players, we don't need a guy. If Steph Shane gets traded from Golden State, we need a goddamn reason. For sure. Listen to what you're saying. What? If I traded him and I got rid of him, and then you're demanding a reason,

and I give you whatever. I'm not giving you. How do you know it's real? I'm giving you something you want to give me. That's a manipulation in the conversation. That's manipulation right there. I'm giving you something. What he just did, that's crazy.

That's insane. So how do they know we're being? That's insane. What I'm saying is we don't know. What he's doing is setting up an insane... No one ever... See, everything he's saying right now, we don't know if he's being factual.

He lying. I haven't made no statement. I'm saying how... Whatever comes out your mouth is a lie. Yeah, that's what you're basically telling us. Everything that you say, we don't believe, Gil. I don't care if you... We don't even want to hear you talk.

You're like... But you call me stat man, stat man, because I fact you. But you're telling him that he's lying. I'm saying, how do we trust what you're saying? How do we trust

what you're saying? I haven't said anything. You're saying something right now. I don't believe it. What am I saying? I don't believe it. I don't believe it.

What am I saying? You're saying words. I don't believe in words that are coming out of your mouth. All of it. Everything you're saying is just like,

is he even talking? But you're telling me that this dude can't say what he's saying and we don't believe it because what? You can't prove it? That's weird. So Patrick Dumont said what he said, but I'm just going to read the second part of that quote for you again. If you look at the greats in the league, the people you and I grew up with, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, they worked really hard every day with a singular focus to win. And if you don't have that, it doesn't work. And if you don't have that, you shouldn't be a part of the Dallas Mavericks.

Now, one name in there that people really drew to was Shaq. Because obviously Kobe has that quote, if Shaq would have had Kobe's work ethic, they would have won 12 rings together. That's why I said that. He's a new owner, new booty owner in the game. Obviously, you know, making these statements. But like I said...

And we're supposed to know he played basketball. Never mind. He watched basketball growing up. We don't know. So this is a new owner? Yeah, so they bought the team from Cuban. They bought a majority stake. Cuban obviously gave up all basketball operations. That's why he tried to give

his opinion on the trade. He said, don't do it. They said, too late, Mark. I'm going to be honest with you. This new owner, does he have a basketball background? I have not seen his jumper. Which owners do? I'm just saying. Which owners do? Mark Cuban. Yeah. Matt Ishpia. Ishpia played in Michigan State. Two out of 30. Come on, y'all stop with this. MJ, as we know, is holding up with this. I mean, I don't know. I'm just saying, like, you just coming in telling. What I want is my money.

You coming in. It's my money. I know it's your money, but I didn't, like. How is it a but? But you coming in, you must not look like what he think. Think about first impressions make a. My first impression is we got to the finals. And then, but.

Listen, so. Do y'all use facts? So if you're going to trade me for him, we got to the finals. Listen, so... Do y'all use facts? So if you're gonna trade me for him, we better get there then. Y'all better get there. My first impression is we got to the... finals. Uh-uh.

Since I only like using facts, can you tell me when Nico presented this to the owner, what did the owner initially do? Nico said in his press conference, when he first to the owner, what did the owner initially do? Nico said in his press conference, when he first heard the owner, the owner laughed and said, are you serious? Okay. And then he convinced him. I can answer that for you, too.

All right. So the owner laughed, like, are you kidding me? Okay, okay. And then proceeded to say that? Then proceeded to say this. And you asked me why I don't believe him? Proceeded. Oh, okay.

How do we know what the proceeding was? How do we know what the proceeding was? How do we know what the proceeding was? How do we know what was preceded? No, listen, if Nico asked him that and he laughed and then he came out and said that, he's a coward. How do we know what happened in the middle of that? Well, they went on to make a trade. It does, because I can give you reasons why I've been in the

middle of that. You laughed when I first said it and then I provided a lot of reasons why we should and you ain't laughing no more. You was actually like... So therefore, that means if I got to provide the information to you, then why the fuck are you speaking about it? Because I'm a business owner.

I want you to go investigate why we should not trade this kid. So, Nico, come back and give me some real evidence of why this makes sense, and I might entertain it. Yeah, so again, when I said I don't believe you, you just proved the fucking point. Let's hear it. I just did. You just said I proved the point. Because you're laughing at trading this entity.

I, as Nico, got to convince you. Which means when you say these statements is not coming from first-person shooter mode. It's coming from someone else. It's coming from someone else. So those are not... So those are not his words. How do we know?

Those are what... How do we know? How do we know? I don't believe you. Of course. You can't prove to me that those are not his words. You can't prove to me that. You just said it.

You can't prove it. You just said it. Can't prove it. He said what he said in the quote.'t prove it. You just said it. Can't prove it. He said what he said in the quote. No, you just said. I mean, those are his words. You just said what he said in the quote. I know, but if he said what he said,

he lying because Shaq didn't work that hard. The other three did. Man, we don't know what working hard is until you face someone who worked harder than you. So obviously Shaq worked hard to get to where he was. Or obviously Kyrie was in there working harder than Luka. We figured we'd keep this one. My hermano. My hermano. We like your work ethic. And where did he get the work ethic from? So again, like when we're talking real shit,

not this aggravating type of conversation. Everyone works hard to get to the NBA. We only know what we know until we get around someone that works harder, that teaches how to work. That's facts. Right? That's just it is. So the names he's naming, right? Yeah, those were great, right?

Kobe worked hard, right? Magic worked hard from what were great, right? Kobe worked hard, right? Magic worked hard from what we heard, right? He came into a championship way. They had a way of moving, right? Same thing with Bird. Had NBA Hall of Famers there. Taught him how to work. Shaq did what he did.

Kobe taught him how to work a little bit better, but it still wasn't to Kobe's level. So to Kobe, Shaq didn't work hard. If Kobe's not there, he probably worked hard, right? You're only getting judged by somebody that's working with you. At this point, what he's saying about Luka is irrelevant. He don't know how to work hard until someone teaches him. He's young enough to be taught he's only 25 how many of these guys were actual champions by that age right you got three

three of them but for the most part you don't but they came into championship type of teams for the most part man winning at that age winning championship championship at that age doesn't happen. It takes time to learn how to be successful in the NBA, right? So it's an excuse. Like this is an excuse. No one needs it. You already made the trade. Who gives a fuck about the excuse? Oh, he did this did this it don't matter whatever you're complaining about he can learn it he goes with lebron james he's gonna learn how to be in shape he's gonna learn how to eat he's gonna learn how to do all these things that you complained about because there was nobody there teaching him that's that's just because dirk was

because he played with dirk but dirk. Yeah, he didn't have no real... So we got Kenya Martin. You got to be taught that. But you have to have a statement, though. Like, them people, the way they're out there, like, I mean, at least for Dallas fans. Listen, I get it. I mean, if you need a statement, you need a statement. If you don't, you don't. Stand on it. Stand on what you did. You traded them.

You traded them. So Kenya Martin, not on the show today, but active in the Gills Arena group chat. Uh, Gil... Hold on. Let me group chat. Uh, Gil... Hold on. Let me tuck my phone in. Hold on. So, Gil, to your point that when, uh, Nico first approached the ownership with the trade, uh, they laughed at him, Kenya said he didn't say if it was a good laugh or a bad laugh.

He could spend his money on what he want to spend his money on. It's his money. Okay. I'm just letting you know. Okay, well, you deal with it. What is that? The beach crew. Actually, say that again. He didn't say if it was a good laugh or a bad laugh. He can spend his money on who he want to spend

it on. It's his money. So, like Keenan would say, so, therefore, he don't need to come out here and say shit. If I want to trade somebody, then I'm going to trade him here and say shit. This is... If I want to trade somebody, then I'm gonna trade him. What the fuck? This is my money. Right? So that's what... This is my money.

I don't need to give you an excuse. Yeah, for sure, but this is not... Oh, you do, you do. Now you want to make an excuse because motherfuckers outside your house wanting to blow your house up. Yeah, because this is arguably... Oh, he was fat. He didn't work hard.

He did, uh, uh, uh. He was racist. Like, he just... But this is arguably the best player ever... You got rid of him, you got is our argument. Oh, he was fat. He didn't work hard. He was racist. Like, he just spit the shit out. But it's the argument that the best player ever. You got rid of him. You got rid of him. Mr. Cemetery Larry, question for the couch. If you guys were invested into my company, the shareholders, would I be obligated to share with you guys the moves that I make

before I make them? Yeah. You do. The audience, the crowd, the paying customer, before I make them. Yeah. You do. The audience, the crowd, the paying customer, they're the shareholders. I got to tell my shareholders why the fuck we just moved this major asset

and how we're going to get our money back, how we're going to still remain fruitful in championship form. I have to do all that as a business just to cover my basis if I want more investors in the future. Because people want to know what's going on.

They want to know what's going on. Why should we invest in ticket sales and concessions and all of this in Dallas when you guys are making bad investments? And the owner not telling us why. Not telling us why. It's business. You want us to come out here? Come on, man. I'm not a businessman, but I'm a businessman. Exactly. You need to come up with an excuse to please your business.

So you're... So, Gil, like you said, Mavs... It's like bringing up with a girl, I need my closure. I don't need to give you closure. I dumped you. I dumped you. The fuck on. Get the fuck on. Like, so... We talked about Mavs. Oh, I broke up with you because you didn't do it.

I had to give the fuck on. It's already over. It has to be a reason they traded him. Beat it. I broke up with you cuz you didn't die. It's already over Beat it and don't not we but it has to be a reason why they traded everything they said so at the age of 25 Tell me how many super mega stars have it? Because whatever you're saying It can be fixed you're saying he's overweight. We watched him average 33.99. We watched this fat man, if that's what you want to call him, get you to the championship.

Right? Mm-hmm. You're saying to the world that it's unresolvable. Well, what is it? Because I have how many years? I have how many years to make Luka get in shape? Five straight first team All-NBA selections. It's not to get in shape. That's the problem. Whatever it is.

It's effort. Whatever it is. But listen. You can learn that. You can learn effort? Yes, you can learn that. You can? Yeah.

Yeah, you can. You want to teach somebody effort? Hell yeah. Nigga, let's get to it. What you talking about? We need that extra effort. Goddamn. What if he dies after that ball?

What if he's not doing it? Let's get to it. What are you going to do when he's not doing it Let's get through it. What are you going to do when he's not doing it? He is going to. What are you going to do when he's not doing it? No, no, that's hypothetical. Tell me. Huh? Tell me.

What are you... Tell me. Next. Next. Yeah, next. Effort. Energy. Effort.

It doesn't cost and you don't train for it. You show up and you just fucking play hard. So 39 and 9 ain't effort? Yes. So are you playing hard? 39 and 9? It's easy. 33 and 9 ain't easy? Yes. So, are you playing hard? 39 and 9? It's easy.

Isn't it easy? Isn't it easy? But you're not playing hard, bro. You know what playing hard is. I'm dripping out here. I'm dripping, bro. Sub, sub me out. I got to come right down.

I'm out of breath. Bro, sub. Bro, come here. So, he's jogging at... So, so, so... He is cruise control. He easy. So, that's scary then. It is scary. If he played harder. We would man bro

So you don't talk about you don't think him getting around LeBron James is gonna turn that up cuz he ain't been around nobody that Can help him get horsey in Dallas? So if he's doing this right now at 25 and he got with LeBron James right now, what do you think's gonna happen? He ain't been around Think about that though Nick like he hasn't been a man. He Davis has been around nobody? No. No. Who has he? Has that next level? Think about that, though. He hasn't been around. Anthony Davis has been around LeBron James for five years. Two different players. Two different players.

Two different players. What is Dirk and Winston in all time? Two different players. What did Anthony Davis learn? He learned how to be a champion. He learned. Hey, what did Austin Reeves say? There's a big old thing about Austin Reeves.

When he said he heard LeBron James was coming to the gym, and he said, I want James was coming to the gym and he said, I want to beat him to the gym. He was coming in at what? Two 30, one 30. And then he says something. I'm like, ah, he said, well, shit, I'm not just going to be sitting at the gym all day. Like he does. The kids seen something and wanted to mimic it. He realized 530 is what they do. 12 is what he does. Yeah. We don't know what another level is until we see somebody with it.

When Drew Holiday left Milwaukee and went over there, did Tatum and Brown, did their game look a little different? Did it look a little bit more like they wanted? because they have somebody that's showing them how to do it So you can say he doesn't have it we can see that are you gonna bring somebody who can give it to him That's all it is. He didn't have dirt. He didn't have J kid to help him. He did no He didn't he got a out of the dance. He is his coach. That's what... But what is... Nick, it's getting out of hand.

Nick, it's getting out of hand. What that mean? It's getting out of hand. That nigga's lived in Dallas. Y'all not making it make sense. Dirk can't even... Dirk can't even walk. He's at the arena every fucking time.

Dirk can't even walk. What is that happening? What the hell? He gonna teach him. He can't even walk. What do you mean? Come on, man. No disrespect, but Dirk...

No disrespect. I'm happy we got him, but I... I walk. What do you mean? Come on, man. No disrespect, but dirt. What do you mean? I'm happy we got him. I got to be able to get out here with you, bro. It's a real great talent. I've never been around. What great talent has he been around? Why do I have to be around a fucking great talent? Who has Joker been around?

Who are you going to learn from? Who has Joker been around? Who are you going to learn from? Who has Joker been around? And if somebody answered a question. And is he lazy? I'm asking a question. Does he look like he's insane? Can you answer it? Does he look like he's can you answer it does he look like can you answer it no no you look like all right who else yannis who did yannis learn from i'm waiting for answers

does he look like he's in shape now luca gotta learn from somebody oh my god we got two mvps does that don't need to learn from nobody. I ain't talking about in shape. I'm just talking about playing hard. If somebody said Joker don't play hard, we will all say, yeah, it look like he out there. But who we gonna learn from? Right? They're not saying we need to bring somebody in to show him how

to do this and do that. Would we say that? Would we say Joker don't play hard. He tries up and down the court because he's naturally slow, you give us that perception, we're gonna say, -"Yeah, we see it." -"But Joker did lose some weight, though. He did. Um...

Nick, you're not helping your friend. How old is Joker? Is Luka 270? Does he look 270 to you? Depends. Does he look 270? He said, depends. I don't know what 270 looks like.

No, no. You don't look 270? Does he look too 70? He said depends. I don't know what 270 looks like. No, no. You don't look too 70. Does he look too 70? Yo, no. Hey, is LeBron is 6'8", 270? No. What is he? 210, 255, 265.

I don't know. Muscle. Muscle weighs more than a half. Did you just say 210, 265? That was a... When a nigga in competition with you, he don't... But LeBron James' weight and height

is what, bro? My thing is, he's 6'8", 2'10 1⁄2". 2'10 1⁄2". You have to trade him for a reason. That's my thing.

Huh? You have to trade him for a reason. I don't care what your reason is, is what I'm saying. I don't care. If I didn't ask it

when I made... You're selling me something. What I'm made it, you're selling me something. What I'm saying is you're selling me something. If I'm not caring, then you don't need to give me an answer. But if niggas out there in front of the arena have their funeral, they're having funerals in front of the arena. Let the people know.

Go lie to them. Right. I need to say something before I be in that casket. I'm losing money by this shit. If I'm losing money, I'll say shit. So that means you're going to say whatever you need to say so before I be in that cast. I'm losing money by this shit. If I'm losing money, I'll say shit. So that means you're going to say whatever you need to say so these motherfuckers don't kill you. Right?

No, I'm going to tell them the reason why. So for what it's worth... No, for sure. For what it's worth... For sure you're going to fucking lie. For sure. So we've heard what's come from the Mavs organization, Nico Harrison, from Patrick Tumont,

but for what it's worth, Mavs fans are still letting it be known. They aren't feeling the trade. You talked about Nico Harrison receiving death threats and they had to beef up security at the arena. Of course. On Saturday before AD's debut, a crew of Mavs fans held a protest outside the arena to voice their support for the five-time first-team All-NBA selection. He's not

back! Bring him back! He's not back! Bring him back! He's not back! Bring him back! There's no way they can have you sing it like they did earlier. He's not back! Bring him back! He's not fat! There's no way they could have received it like they did earlier. He's not fat! Bring him back! Bro, that's like 35 people. He's not... That's a lot of signs, though, y'all. In front of the Dirk statue, a lot of signs.

He's not fat. Bring him back. You said how many? 35 people, bro. To look like a movie? Bro, they ain't closing in. It's like, y'all scoot in. Scoot in. Hey, scoot in. Scoot in. We got to make it look like it's people here.

Ain't nobody... At least 15 signs, though. So people took the time to make those signs, y'all scoot in. Scoot in. Hey, scoot in. Scoot in. We got to make it look like it's people here. At least 15 signs, though. So people took the time to make those signs, y'all. They wouldn't. They wouldn't go out their way to lie, though. You know that. They wouldn't go out their way to make it look weird, right? They just going to tell you the truth. This is all the people protesting.

And show the Laker protests when we got ready. So, Gil, unfortunately, there was not a Laker protest. There's only been lines outside of jersey shops all over the city. There's only been lines outside of Jersey shops all over the city. There's only been lines. With fans trying to get their Luka Doncic jersey in advance. There will be 20,000 plus Luka shirts at the game. Everybody just line the fuck up for this fat man.

Fat, lazy. Everything they say, motherfuckers are still lining up. They say he fat, lazy. And we sitting in line like, Ching Ching. Bring Ching Ching. Bring that Ching Ching. Yo, but can we be honest? Yo, but can we be honest that AD is not on the same level as them? No, can we be honest?

That's the difference. Whatever you say, whatever you need to say to your fans so they can stop fucking with you, Rob Pelinka and the Lakers don't give a fuck. Because whatever your problem is, we can fix it over here. Sorry, pal. You ain't fixed your own problem in five years. That's the biggest cap I ever had. I'll put a link in the Lakers. Don't give a fuck. Because whatever your problem is, we can fix it over here. Sorry, pal.

You ain't fixed your own problem in five years. That's the biggest cap I ever heard in my life. What kind of shit you fixing? Who's lazy on the side? You just adopted some shit and let it out of the sky. And you couldn't fix the shit you had leaking under your own fucking roof. Who's lazy on our side? Who's been called lazy?

It seems like we fixed it. Yeah, it seems like we fixed it. No, we fixed it. Yeah, we had a little fat little hole. We bring a little fat little man. Yo, Luka's not fat. I know he ain't. Don't bring him back. But speaking of Luka, Luka expected to be back on the court

tonight to make his debut with the Lakers as they take on the Jazz at home. I would have traded LeBron James. No, you wouldn't have. So Luka expected to make his debut for the Lakers tonight against the Jazz, but his new squad has been holding it down in the interim. Let's take a look. They're not doing that.

Since we've last been on the show. So on Thursday, LeBron made more history becoming the youngest and oldest player in NBA history to drop 40 in a game. LeBron torched the Warriors with 42.17 rebounds and eight assists. The Lakers were cooking in the first half. It was a beautiful thing to watch. Almost tricked off a 26-point lead in the game with Steph dropping 37.

Did not though. Oh, you see the logo. Logo Brown. Oh. Boy, thank you so much. Look at me. He's 40 years old. He said, look in town.

He said, look in town. I'm not going to fuck with you. I don't want to make a transaction. We got somebody who really want to be the five. 61. Pat Spencer for the Warriors. Lacrosse legend. Oh, shit. That's a number he chose.

That man playing with some, he can be juicy. Not quite as good a number as 54. He know he about to get five. So we saw LeBron drop that 42-17 at eight to beat Steph Curry and the Warriors and continue their domination over the Dubs, which was much expected by all of us. But on Saturday with LeBron sidelined against the Pacers...

And our number two option. Austin Reeves. Our real number two option in the fourth quarter. Austin Reeves ran the show, dropping a career-high 45 points along with seven rebounds, seven dimes, and three steals in that game. Rui Hachimor also added 24 on his 27th birthday, but Reeves almost didn't play in the game, dealing with a sore left elbow,

but had to carry the squad without Leluka Bronchik. So Reeves is the youngest Laker since Kobe Bryant with 45-5-5 in the game. Sixth Laker to put up at least 45-7-7, joining Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Magic, Kobe, and LeBron. Lakers have won nine of the last ten games, including five straight wins. So let's just do a quick review. We're at the 50-game mark. Lakers were 25-25, ninth in the West last season

through their first 50 games under then-head coach Garvin Hamm. 31-19, fifth in the West this season under head coach J.J. Reddick. Milk of Magnesia. My milk of Magnesia. I'll tell you one thing. For my Lakers contingent over here, how optimistic should the Lakers be to make

a deep playoff run this season? Gil, you said championship 2026. Weight things are trending right now. Like I said, won nine of the last ten games, won five straight. LeBron dropping 40 pieces at 40 years old. Austin Reeves dropping 45. The best third option in the NBA. Damn, JJ got them boys playing. He's not fat bringing back. JJ's job just got saved.

31 to 19, feel like JJ is saving his job. Well, this is before Luka. He got a better... His job... Before Luka, he played one game. His job just got saved by Luka Kusama. No, no. You can't say that.

I'm just saying that. I remember everybody was talking about the Darvin Ham and J.J., right? Y'all was using all that. I haven't heard anything. His job just got saved. And I think I was the first one to say it is, when y'all was showing that record in December, and I was like, nobody was talking about him then. Everybody started going at him

the January, February slide. Everybody started going at him when he got hired. Yeah, yeah. Y'all open arms, JJ, whatever you want. Now he about to look like this hero coach. And y'all made it so tough on me. He got saved. Made it so tough on me. As soon as the white guy come in here, y'all made it so tough on me. He got saved. Made it so tough on me.

As soon as the white guy come in here, y'all be like, hey, man. The milk of magnesium. What you got for it? Brown skinned pears. What you got for it?

But then when I'm telling y'all to do some shit, y'all looking at me like, man, what is this? I don't know what he's looking at. So JJ is currently 31 and 19 as Lakers head coach. Last season,

they were 25 and 52. This didn't look right, man. He had a liquor store nigga being our head coach in L.A. He's doing all this, but is he going to ever touch a Western Conference Finals? Oh, actually, no. I forgot. His job got saved.

Yeah. His job is saved. So you want to rescind that? No, that's what it is. His job got— Just going to rescind it. Listen, he was out of there. JJ was going to be out of there if they don't get that trade.

31-19. Why does he be out of there? Listen, man. What do you mean, why? You know the guy that coached the Milwaukee who got fired halfway through the season? Yeah, what was his record again? 30 and 13? No.

Oh, you. Oh, Adrian Griffin. Oh, Adrian Griffin. Oh. Okay, I got my stats right. Do I get it? Did I get it right? Yeah.

Did he get fired the first year? Yeah. Did he get fired? Oh, he didn't. With a winning record? Yeah. Okay. What are we talking about? I got my stats right? Did I get it right? Did he get fired the first year? Yeah. Did he get fired? Oh, he didn't. With a winning record? Yeah. Okay. What are we talking about?

I know my shit. He got fired. Why? Because the guy who replaced him was... Right? He was the... Fired is fired, my nigga. Okay.

30 and 13, fired. AJ, you need to be the fuck out of here. No, not now. It's too late now. It's too late now. He's saying it. He's saying it. No, you're saying it. He and 13 fired. No wedding. No wedding. J.J., you need to be the fuck out of here. No, not now. Y'all was in. It's too late now. It's too late now. He's saying it. He's saying it.

No, you're saying it. He's saying it. But I'm agreeing with you that he was supposed to be out of here because y'all got rid of this dude. He had a great record. You're not firing no white man. We haven't heard about J.J. talk in all January. You know what I mean?

You didn't even have to bring the record up, man. It's irrelevant. Okay. I'm a host, Gil. I try to provide context as much as possible. Build it. Build it. Build it all up.

We got somebody else that look better. That's going to look better. Yup. So, we're going to use some more pieces. You've been asking for it. We said no to. Whatever you want. Whatever you want.

Hey, man, I got it. I got it. I got it. Right now, I got to see how they look. But right now, after the last win, after our last win... Over the Pacers without... 60%... I got 60% winning the championship this year.

60%? Just 60? Yeah, just 60. Just 60. Rolling as someone's saying. I mean, you know, we didn't have AD, right? We didn't have Luka. We didn't have LeBron James. Did not. And we beat a full, healthy Pacers team.

I'm cool. I got us about 60%. Oh, yeah, I'm here. I think... Yeah, I'm cool. I'm cool with it. Champions is... I think we can get to the Western Conference Finals. Easy. That's what I'm saying. Easy. Easy work. Easy. There was one man that was stopping us us and his name was Jokic. He's still he's still alive

No, no, I'm not worried about your kids now. Okay, you're not concerned with Where about Anthony Davis average twenty eight point seven and twelve Jokic average twenty eight and fourteen but but what separated those two was the 10 assists Jokic was averaging, which is about 20 to 30-something points. Luka covers that total, right? So if Jokic was bringing in about 45 to 55 points overall, young fellas doing that also. Yeah, for sure. So, Andy Davis, even though Andy Davis is keeping up with the points and the rebounds,

those assists, Jokic is bringing in. He's taking out LeBron James and... There's going to be more points, too. It's going to be like 34. Not 34 and 10. Shit, Jokic, we good. 34 and 10, 8. Huh?

Lakers don't have a big. Yeah, I am. So, we're Huh? Lakers don't have a big. Yeah, I am. So we're going to talk about them one in a second. We didn't have one when Jokic was there. Yeah. Well, who's our big? Yeah, power forward. He wanted to play power forward.

Got a full man. Full man gets a center. That nigga has it. Hello. That's the advantage. So we talked about Luka making his debut tonight. Luka's his cook. The official debut of the Luka Bronchick.

Can't say nothing bad about the Lakers. Luka's been out since Christmas with the Cavs. What are your expectations for Luka in his Lakers debut? They got the jerseys all lined up. Like it's Utah. Oh, shit. Triple double. White on white crime?

I think triple double. I think he can come out and really statement. Lay the red carpet out for him, baby. So, Gil, we're going to be watching the game on Playback tonight. Make sure you pull up to Gil's Playback channel, playback.tv slash Gilbert Arenas. We are watching Lucas debut. How do you feel at triple-double?

He don't have 30, 10, and 10. You know what I mean? Little triple-double. Little triple-double. Fuck around, I got a triple-double. Get him on the court and he's trouble. 30-10-2. Yeah.

So, Brady, you mentioned the resending trade, so let's talk about it. 30-10-2. What you got, Eagles fan? What you got? What you got Luger having today? Say what now? What you got Luger having today? Doubtful he's not going to play.

Doubtful. I mean, that could happen. No, no, no. It's Utah. No, no, no. It's Utah, and they already put 21,000 Lucasers today. He getting out there.

He said doubtful. It's Utah. Who they got to guard him tonight? Huh? Who Utah got to guard him tonight? The NBA got to guard him. Listen, I'm going to tell Jordan. I'm going to tell Jordan, dog. As you told. Who they got to guard him tonight? Huh? Who you told got to guard him tonight? Who the NBA got to guard him? Listen, I'm going to tell Jordan. I'm going to tell Jordan, do not guard him tonight.

It's a tough new team. You want to try to be friendly, but when you see a fucking cobbler in front of you. That's crazy. Yo, can we go tell Jordan, don't guard him tonight. Oh, call him. Call him. He went to you. Did you call him cobbler?

He called him cobbler. He's my dog, but he a rookie. He called him cobbler. He going to be scared to guard him. He'Callie. He went to the US. Did you call him Cop? He called him Cop. He's my dog, but he a rookie. He called him Cop. He gonna be scared to go out and play. He has a M.S.A. Jordan. Just so you know the reality of it.

Tell Jordan, don't get too far away. Yeah, get far away. Jordan don't want none of that. Luka hasn't played since when? Christmas. He hasn't played since Christmas. The owner just came out with a statement. That's a long time.

Right? The owner just came out with a statement. Right? How lazy and fat he is. And what did you say he's gonna have tonight? 30, 10, and 10. Uh, same thing. 30 plus. 30 plus.

So, Luka's higher or lower right now on the underdog gap, 27.5 points. His combined point rebounds and assists total, 42.5. Man, that's crazy. He got the extra day of workouts. That's crazy that three of us got him at a triple-double and he's supposed to be the laziest nigga on earth. That's Lucas. So is a triple-double supposed to exempt you from being lazy?

No, that's what I said. The 39 and 9 that he averaged is... That triple-double ain't skills. 33-99. Oh, 33-99. Triple-double ain't blocks. 33-99. You know how active you got to be the average Maybe they read on it. Yeah the ball is here. Give me a lazy. Give me a lazy 33 99

I mean whoever garden of God. Maybe we don't play five games of pickup right now. We can't probably get 33 9 enough No, it's safe. You got a beef The 21st of 24 The shape you got to be. It depends on where we play. The 25th, the 24th. The average. If you just shooting shots. Just shooting. If you just shooting. Why you guarding me?

Think about how much usage Luka got with the ball. Usage, when you just got the ball, you do whatever you want, all game long, bro. Think about that. You got all game to get 30. All game. All game, bro. All game. And I got any possession.

I could take any possession to score. Free throws, threes. It's easy. It's easy. How is it when you literally had the ball for 48 minutes? You have to be there. But you got to be in shape. No, you don't.

You don't have to be in shape? I can play four quarters and cakewalk it. I can cakewalk it. You can cakewalk it while the other team is double teaming you. First of all, getting 30 just in general in the league is hard. Five points a quarter. You gotta be in shape. Getting 30 points a night

in the NBA is tough, bro. I'm sorry. Not when you're able to shoot whenever you want. Six quarters. Six points a quarter. That's three buckets. Two, four, six. While the other team is playing super hard. Hey, hey, hey. And I'm lazy. Let's not lose sight. I'm not. Let's not lose sight. Never. Two, four, six. Uh-6. While the other team is playing super hard. Yeah. Hey, hey. And I'm lazy. Let's not lose sight.

I'm not. Let's not lose sight. Never. Right. 2-4-6. Uh-huh. Right? The seven points, you say?

Mm-hmm. 2-4-6 and a free throw, right? That's all I can say. That's not including and ones or three-pointers. Mm-hmm. They shoot 10-3 per game. Right? That's not including that.

So every quarter, you have the ability to get three buckets. Mm-hmm. Right? That's not including that. So every quarter, you have the ability to get three buckets. Right. Twos, putbacks, fast breaks, slash for 48 minutes. For 48 minutes. You don't play 48 minutes. If I get three rebounds a quarter, you have to be in shape to get three rebounds a quarter. You've got to be in shape. Are you making the part? Really? Yes. Do you? Yes. Do you? You have to be in shape to get three rebounds a quarter. You've got to be in shape. Are you meeting the part? Really? Do you?

Yes. Do you? You have to be in shape to get three rebounds a quarter. You can't just go out there and be like. Land on your left. So you're saying a rebound can't just land. That's if. I'm asking.

I'm just asking. And a rebound. Yes. And a rebound. Okay, yeah, that's one. Let's say the shot goes over here at this corner, hits the rim. You're just standing there. You're not moving. You're not standing there. You're not moving.

You're not boxing out. The ball bounces, and you just land. It just landed. It just landed to you. Nobody else was on the court. No, they're down the court. They're running down. So you got to run down too.

Defense and rebound. No one's crashing the boards. No one's doing none of that. No one's doing none of that. Luka literally, hey, go down. I got it. So you think somebody on the court is just going to let Luka just sit right there and the way he play?

Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook. Hey, Steve Adams, box everybody out. I'm going to get the board. Y'all niggas go. Jason Kidd, hey, man, you make sure y'all box out. I got it. Y'all go.

You got to have a nose for the ball, though. Steve Adams. Y'all go. You box the other four niggas out so I can go get the ball. They not coming to the game. But you still got to have a nose for the ball, though. They're not coming to the board. They're not crashing the... But you still got to have a nose for the ball, though. They're not coming to the board. They're not crashing the glass.

We only need to box out two guys. Yeah. We only need to box out two guys. Let's be in shape. But you got to be in shape. They're all longer rebounds, though, because you got three. Cool. But, Nick, you can play...

So you're saying how Giannis plays, Giannis is in shape, right? Fuck yeah. That's shape. That's shape. Yeah, that's shape. So he averages. So you're saying the lazy man is... Okay.

He's in shape, but... Yeah. So let's get... I'm saying you can't coast and get 30 now. You can coast and get 30? You get the hard... You can coast and get 30 because... I got the watch in the corner.

But you got to be pretty good to be able to do that. How many people even average 30 in the NBA listening to the comments? What three or four people average if you 30 in a no defense you guarding the person in the corner Like a PJ Tucker you wrestling defense get the rebound the rebates PJ going down He crashed it. You ain't never got it. He's a guy Peter got a Garmin, right? three people average 30. Is P.J. guarding me? Is he guarding me lazy or is he guarding me hard? He's guarding you tough.

He's guarding me tough, right? So that means his guarding me tough is going to wind me out. So I should ask. Is it going to wind you out? He can't guard you? First of all, he's not just sitting in the corner. First of all, he's not just sitting in the corner. First of all, come on, man. We're not just playing.

You're not just going to NBA just sitting in the corner. You got to move around. This is crazy. So what kind of offensive output is Luka putting in where he's exerting himself to the point where he's like, oh, he should be tired because he's going one-on-one. He's going so hard. Every time I get the ball.

Luka's cruising, bro. Luka's cruising. I'm talking about the new age. If Lucas cruising, that says a lot about the defense there. Yes. No, that says a lot about the league. We've been saying that. We've been saying that.

No, the league. That's what I'm talking about. Think about that. That says a lot about Giannis, all these guys that's in shape. That says a lot about Giannis not shooting three. He's running from rim to rim. Exactly. I don't know, Luka averaged 33.

He should have been MVP. I figure he averaged 33-99. Yeah, that was last year, right? So I don't think 2.4 miles per game on the high end and then 1.6, 1.7 on the lower end per game of miles that they total distance and he covers across the court. Quick search, that's what I found Don't quote me on it

But uh, I believe so, but let's let's keep this thing How many miles Giannis since he's the one that's in shape so we can see how different this is How many miles watch your side looks for that? If you do think Luke is gonna get a triple-double tonight 6.6 multiplier an underdog you pair that with a couple picks, you feel a safe, decent play. First game, triple-double? Nah. He gonna have a rea—

He don't know the guys like that. The reason he had the triple-double was he knew his guys. Knew where they was gonna be at. He knew where they gonna be. They gonna be in the same corner his guys was in. That's what I'm saying!

The corner don't change, motherfucker! The people do! The people do! Send your motherfucking ass over saying. The corner don't change, motherfucker. The people do. The people do. Hey, your motherfucking ass up there. That corner going. So we talked about Luka making his debut. Let's talk about another issue that the Lakers have. So Lakers appear to have.

It's an issue. Yes, it is. So Lakers appear to have locked down their center for the future after trading Dalton Kinnick, Cam Reddish, and an unprotected 31 first-round pick to the Hornets for third-year big man Mark Williams. But after further review, the Lakers got a refund after Mark Williams failed his physical with the purple and gold. So according to Shams, Mark Williams' physical with the Lakers

showed multiple issues, and the team failed him on the exam. The physical was not failed due to his back, however. So it was other issues besides his back, which he's had a situation with in his first couple years in the league. Williams has played in only 85 out of a possible 212 games in his first two and a half seasons with the Hornets, but the Lakers were confident with his health when making the trade, but that changed their minds after a thorough examination.

But because the deadline passed, the trade was not allowed to be amended to account for the new medical information the Lakers discovered in their evaluation of Williams. Gil, please bring the body back back. Sorry, Dalton. We sorry. Bring your neck back. Sorry, bring it back.

Oh, this is a connection. What is it? This is that dead body, Charlotte Choddy. We're trying to get us a dead man. We're not trying to warn y'all with a video. Oh, yeah. Man, we don't care. I was happy to the most.

I was like, who is this? You better start caring. Oh, young Benjamin Button, man. They said, man, Charlotte, get your shit back. We don't want. They took one look and said, hey, man, wrap this shit up, man. Send this motherfucker back. You don't want nothing.

What's on that? What's on that? What dope house he got? He got this shit from. Charlotte. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. What dope house?

What dope house? In front of Walmart. Boy, they trying to trick us. Y'all accepting anything. They just taking anything. They's why we're here. They just taking anything. They desperate. Hey, listen.

We was happy. Hey, K'Nect, I'm sorry, brother. See what I mean? You wanted to get rid of K'Nect. We disconnected that motherfucker, Williams. Magic K'Nect walking back in the lobby. We blew you private, bitch. You better get the fuck back on Southwest.

Southwest, fly back to Charlotte. No work. If that's even a hug for Southwest. We had the red carpet. Group C. We had last week. Group C, Southwest. Group C?

He don't even get the first class Southwest. That's a T-shirt. Group C, now boarding. Yeah, you told me. Nope. Can't put his luggage in the overhead bin. Hell nah. Ain't nothing funny when Group C come in, they trying to look for an overhead bin.

Nah. Nah. We had the red carpet, had a little girl, little chick. Check your shit. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's Mark. Here, man, I'm here. I'm not anybody. Hey, hold on. Hold on. Stop talking about the dough.

Damn, something. 23. They thought they got the return of the Mac for a quick second. Is this Mark Morrison? Who is this? That motherfucker take that MRI. What? Hey, what the hell is that?

I don't even think they even did all that. They did it. I promise you. Oh, they did? No, they just knew? Is this the nigga? As soon as he walked in, he was walking in looking like Kenny Smith.

Look. Knees. Oh, yeah, I seen that. I seen the knee touch. They just knew soon as you walk in he was walking in looking like Al Jefferson yeah that Al Jefferson boy man. This ain't what we ordered man The Hornets issued this statement on Saturday night following the rescinded trade. We are excited to welcome Mark back to our Hornets organization. After the other team aggressively pursued Mark, the other team being the Lakers, we made the difficult decision to move him.

We have always held great respect for Mark's talent, work ethic, and character. We are thrilled to see him rejoin our roster as a dynamic presence at the starting center position. His return strengthens our team and we look forward to the impact he will make on and off the court. You come back into the locker room, your name tag on there, the shit on the floor. I know Mark Madden. That's like that moment when you go off, and then you realize you got to see the motherfuckers tomorrow.

When you break up with your girl for three days and she done had a new nigga, you come back the fourth day, you're like, what's this? Whose shit is this in my locker? What the fuck is this? What you been doing? It's been four days. It's been four days.

Mellow shoes, all that. Whose jockstrap is this? What the fuck is going on? He got released from prison. He was happy. Said, take your ass right back. Go to L.A., baby. Bring that inmate back. Bring him back. Bring him back.

He's still got about four more years. He got a little bit more time. He thought he was good. Bring that inmate back and... Just... Bring him back. Bring him back. Say, old Bob won. You're going back and say, old Bob won.

You better not do that shit. He thought it was on. Just bring him back. Bring him back. Say old block one. You're going back to say old block one. You better not do that shit. He thought it was on. I'm in L.A. So I think Jeff Teague alluded to this after the trade happened, and, Shaw, you alluded to it as well, but it seemed like the Hornets knew this prior to making the deal, tried to sell the Lakers a lemon,

thankful for the Lakers' training staff, which doesn't always get the most favorable respect, considering that, you know. We didn't see Kendrick now for a lemon. Thankful for the Lakers training staff, which doesn't always get the most favorable respect considering that, you know, we didn't see Kendrick now for a minute. Christian Wilson doesn't come back. Gary Vee ain't down there no more. Gary Vee is not here, but shout out to the Lakers medical team. Glad they caught boy. Thorough examination. Great job. Yeah, I didn't want them to get rid of K'Nek anyway. I feel like they got something better. Yeah, Dalton, we always... Got three white dudes on the team at the same time.

Three really good players. Dalton, we always respected you. Obviously, you know, you were a casualty of the business. Psych. We were just playing. We were just playing. We wanted to see if you watched the show or not. Bring it in. Come here. All right, all right.

Still Westside K'Nek gang, baby. Yeah, it's sick. All right. I think I booted. Get your ass up. Get your ass on the body. You know what I'm saying? Take that boot back. Hey, so, Bronny, what was that shit you was saying, dog, bro? Bronny will not be getting the rock again.

Hey, bro, you was celebrating when I left, my nigga? Bronny will not be getting the rock again. You was doing jumping jacks? Well, I need my bed made now. Hopefully, Dog the Connect learned what can happen if you don't give Bronnie the rock. I know he's sitting there like, yeah, uh-huh. Y'all didn't like the goods.

It's like Backpage, right? When you think you ordered some shit online, and then it get to the door. You're like, oh. We didn't order that. Lying on your picture. You're lying. You need to go to jail on your picture.

This is under the jail. This don't look nothing like you. You lying. You need to go to jail on your picture. This is nothing like jail. This don't look nothing like you. You're a gardener? I didn't order a plumber. Bitch, where you come from? He should have known they did the goddamn thing in the parking lot. They did his whole physical in the parking lot.

They see you walking in, they start talking about the dough. I'll tell you. They got to do exactly what they do. Hey, move your leg. Move your leg. Move your leg. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. They move.

They move. Hey, that's sick. Hey, no, that's sick. I thought the person was like this. No, that's sick. No, that's sick. No, that's sick. No, that's sick.

No, that's sick. All right, because they do do that. They do that thing like. They do that. They do that. They do the roundhouse. Is your hip okay, boy? Shit.

Boy, that motherfucker's Marcus Jordan out there when he see them cars. He try to straight up. You got something on your nose, boy. Yeah, you saw the... Dude. Michael Jordan, see? You wobbling, boy. Sit on one leg.

You wobbling. Leg. Wobble, wobble, wobble. Your drunk ass in the goddamn back of this car, goddamn it. A Lakers rescinded trade has united the couch. Nigga said they hit the knee. They hit the knee. I remember that shit in my mind. Hit your knee, be like, see if it move. Oh, god damn.

A Lakers rescinded trade reunited the couch. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind.

That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started making my mind. That shit started in my mind. Hit your knee and be like, see if it move. God damn. Lakers rescinded trade, reunited the couch. That shit started making all the time.

That's why you know and love Gills Arena. But in all sincerity, how much will the Lakers' lack of depth at center impact the rest of their season? How much will the Lakers' lack of depth at center impact the rest of their season? It's going to hurt. That's 66% of them winning the championship. Lakers in five, now Lakers in six? Not without no big.

Hell nah, not a chance. So we probably got to get ready for next year and hopefully get a big... We got Jackson Hayes, homie. I was just about to say, Jackson Hayes. Okay. Ozzie Hayes. Like Ivory? Ivory, whatever his name is.

Who? Ivory from Dallas. The Ivory brother. Okay, man. We're together. I believe from Dallas The ivory brother we're together all together Without a big so one nine of their last five straight win the playoffs no problems with the warrior I don't it all depends on who we mess up with. Yeah, there's only one big we gotta really worry about. He gonna fuck...

I mean, that's what I said. At this point, it... You got Jokic, right? So what if y'all meet up with Dallas? First round. Bambi Leite? Dallas is a little... Bambi Leite, LeBron guarding him.

Yeah. LeBron guarding him. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? He's scared of LeBron. LeB LeBron garden him. What are you gonna? You know he's what are you gonna do? Gaffer lively No, he playing the four he playing LeBron. Well, who's gonna be the five we got Hayes Jackson Jackson Hayes is against Gaffer the center. We always believed in. What you talking about? Y'all think I beat Dallas healthy? And you think LeBron started 80 and LeBron started 80? I don't know. Did y'all see with Vegas after the trades all set?

They was high. Now they below. Yeah. The championship odds, the Lakers increased. Dallas championship odds actually went down. Mavs decreased. But like we said about the odds, man, the odds wasn't in their favor before they made it to the finals last year.

Yeah. But that was with Luka. That's a fact. Nobody did not see that was with Luka. Can we pick somebody off the waiver? But even that, I mean... We got to come up off a roster spot. We just need somebody to run and jump.

We got Christian Wood, who should be coming back at some point, hopefully. Or Will Zayn. Or Will Zayn on the couch. Running and running. I mean, running and jumping. I mean, what does he really need to do at the five? We got Jokic.

Who else we got to worry about in the West? No other threats. Because, I mean running and jumping. I mean, what does he really need to do at the five? We got your kids who else we got it worried about that's in the West No other threats because I mean the five were like a five man that actually is being goon Hmm, when they're so small We're not worried about you're not worried about one-legged seven-foot three niggas you three got to make the playoffs. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's going to be shooting threes. Who? The younger fives don't bring them to it. But Sangoon, the problem with that is the whole team is so small. So we kind of have to match. Steven Adams.

They start Steven and they play Sangoon at the four. I thought... Oh, they start Steven? I thought they was about to wave Steven. But then Steven George... Hayes. Yep. We have Jackson Hayes.

So that's what I'm saying is if Anthony Davis actually is playing a five, then we probably have a problem because he's going against Hayes the whole time. But Chet and Harkinstein also. You think Brown's going to guard AD? No. No. Punk AD. Punk AD. No, bro.

No, no. Lil' bro. Lil' bro. He ain't stronger than him. Lil' bro. And he's not faster than him. What are you going to do? But you know they never matched up.

They never, ever played against each other. Not even in practice. You know Brown don't do one-on-one. A.D. Ma ain't going to be already matched up. Who was his favorite player growing up? Yeah, yeah. He already lost. I don't want to make LeBron look bad.

He already lost. He already lost. I don't want to make LeBron look bad. He already lost. He already lost. That's all he's going to do. He's going to look back at him. Hey, stop guarding me, man.

I don't want to make him look bad. I don't want to make him look bad. Stop playing defense, man. This is my LeBron. We asked the chat, will the Lakers regret their lack of center depth? 63% said yes. Chat, you're on some bullshit.

It's like a butter rim. We're not even going to do a lot. It's going to be like a butter rim. When Pac told, oh, boy, don't be out here playing. And the nigga that was out there, you can't shoot. Nigga, what you doing? Pass me the ball. That's how it's going to be with LeBron.

LeBron and AD. Hey, nigga, you're not allowed to shoot. All right, well, let's get. Not allowed the ball. That's how it's going to be with LeBron. LeBron and AD. Hey, nigga, you're not allowed to shoot. All right, well, let's keep... Not allowed to shoot. You know what's going on. Keep this moving.

Oh, shit. Yeah, that's a cop car fly. Oh, shit. I'm seeing the flickering. I started looking like, oh, shit. Whoo! Whoo! I'm just saying, it just happened. I'm seeing the flicker, and I started looking like, oh, shit, the police. What'd I do wrong? What'd I do? We didn't even do nothing. Why'd you think you were going to put the seatbelts on?

Everybody's trying to sneak in. Just move there. Just move, seatbelt put on. Yeah, that never worked. Don't ever do. We still get beat up. Let's talk a little bit about the Warriors. You know, the lesser team in California in comparison to the Lakers, but

Jimmy Butler made his debut with the Warriors Saturday without the benefit of a practice or even a shoot around as he had to wait for all the other players in the five team trade to pass their physicals. But with the Dubs taking on the Bulls in Chicago, Jimmy Buckets got down to business in his old stomping grounds.

Let's take a look at some highlights if we can. So Butler put up 25 points and four assists in 29 minutes of action, going 7 for 12 from the field and 11 for 13 from the line. So the Bulls were up by 24 early in the third quarter before the Warriors. And Chef Curry got to cooking.

Curry had 22 points in the final eight minutes of the third. It was Steph's 46th career 20-point quarter, including the playoffs, which extends his NBA record even further. So Steph led the Warriors 34 points, six dimes, and four rebounds. He was eight for 16 from deep. Here goes one of them right here. I'm telling you, Brandon, five games, they can get one. They can sneak one off of Luka and LeBron playing at this level.

You know where we're going next week, right? Oh, yeah, my bad. Steph Curry, one of the GOATs. I mean, this week. Gentlemen's Cut. Delicious beverage for all to enjoy. Okay. Shout-out Under Armour as well. No, we're going.. We going to their hometown. Shout out Curry Brand. That's impressive.

Call off the dogs, Steph, all right? We pulling up to your city. We'll be doing Gills Arena live shows Thursday and Friday. Steph may or may not be there. That's impressive. Probably may not, but... Probably. You know, that's about how you lie to people.

Don't promise, though. I saw somebody was doing a function, and they were like, we invited all these people. What the fuck does that mean? What is it? Like, you invited the nigga. Is he coming? I invited fucking Obama.

That don't mean he coming. The fuck does that mean? But very clever with the wording. Anyway, it was Steph's third straight 30-point game, as the Dubs got a win after dropping their previous two games. So after the game, Steph and Jimmy had this to say about their first game together and why they will work well together on the court.

He's like the exact opposite player of me, which is kind of funny. Like, I'm shooting 16 threes, he shot one, he got to freak a lot of the line. He's dominating the pan, I'm dominating the outside, the perimeter. Guys working around us has the potential to be really fun. They say, obviously, it's a track in a lot of ways in life. And I don't think I could be a better compliment to him and vice versa, in the sense that they're not leaving him ever. Probably two people would never leave him. So there's so much space for everybody else.

And I get the easy job. You know, I'm playing one-on-one, or I'm playing in so much space. And then everybody's looking for him, and everybody's looking to get him open. And at the same time, he's looking for everybody else. So it's so great to play with somebody like that. They do say that opposites attract.

Shout out to Paula Abdul, former Lakers cheerleader, for those who aren't familiar with her background. That's impressive. Just pointing it out. So Steve Kerr said he was most impressed with Jimmy's passing in addition to everything else he brings to the game. Also saying that he's a lion out there and just his mere presence is going to help uplift the Warriors

as they try to get back into playoff contention. But do you believe that Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry are a good fit together on the court? I think so. I think from not playing your first game, getting off the plane, from everything you've been through, first game, 25, not knowing none of the plays, just coming in and hooping with Steph. I already have some type of a chemistry. I seen how Draymond was, you know,

pointing and directing everybody. I feel like they got a good squad. Like, and... He came from the couch and put on, put up 20 in the first game in Oakland. I mean, that was in Chicago, but for the Warriors, so and that always been Jimmy though like you just put him Like put him like you know saying like he can fit in you know Especially if you put him around good players like great players he can this is who he is. I

Still think they need another piece though I still feel like they need something like another, they need one more piece. They got to figure, like, yeah. They're one piece away to me. What piece do you get? Ain't can mean that other piece? It's supposed to be? I mean, I'm not going to be, I mean, listen, it depends on what Draymond do, but we got

to figure something out right there. They're going to be hard to guard. Yeah. Yeah. Because when you look at it, like, with Wiggins, right, the difference is Wiggins was a corner dude, right, sitting in the corner. Quiet, wasn't aggressive. He's pulsing up.

Like, while everybody's focused on trying to guard Steph, he's being active. Yeah. Right, ducking in. Like, he's doing all the shit that, yo, yo, like, if everybody's running here, who's guarding you down there? Right? If they play this wrong, they don't know how to play none of that.

Right? This is the Paul Pierce duck hands. This is everything Jimmy needed for, you give me space, I give you this. While you're focused on the duck hand, Steph Curry's running around the court. So them two. 25 and one three. It's not even about the scoring. It's like how it looks.

Yeah, it looks better. That's what I'm saying. You sit here flaying in and Jimmy's sitting there ducking in. You throw that. He can. I like it. I like those. See, but that's what I'm saying.

Like, Jimmy brings something that the stats is not going to be on the stat sheet. Like, it's just his play, his energy, like the second efforts and stuff that they didn't have But yeah, I think they won one one piece away We'll see what community is I mean everybody back going I mean it's just Look well, I mean well, so you got Gary paid in a second. He coming back another defender Just just I mean, so you got Gary Payton second. He coming back. Another defender. I mean, they definitely got defenders. Just listen to y'all. But I think they need another shooter.

Listening to y'all is weird. Look at Jimmy Butler over Shadow Kaminga. Do the same thing. Shadow Kaminga? They do the same thing. They would have had three guys doing the same. Wiggins, Kaminga, and Jimmy Butler are the same. They the same player? They're not the same thing. They would have had three guys doing the same thing. Wiggins, Kaminga, and Jimmy Butler are the same. They the same player?

They're not the same player. One has more experience than the rest. No, they're not the same player. Because one, like he just said, Jimmy... Kaminga's more athletic. Last three games with the Heat? Mm-hmm. So Jimmy Butler, last three games with the Heat, was averaging 13 points, six assists,

three rebounds. But I'm not talking about... But the single game points that he had, what was the one game, two assists, three rebounds. But I'm not talking about... The single game points that he had, what was the one game, two games, what was those games? So he played against the Nuggets, had 18 points, then played against the Spurs, had eight points, and then played against the Blazers, had 13 points. Then had 25.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I just can't fuck with guys like that. Hmm? I just can't rock with guys like that. You can't rock with guys like that because I wasn't happy when I was back? Hack it in when you want to pack it in, man. I remember I told y'all, he get over here, he start playing different.

We already do that, though. That's what I said. That's what I said. Everybody do that. I'm not happy. But you was the leader. I'm not happy. You're not the leader here. You're not the leader here.

You're not the leader here. You just went from top dog to I'm happy to be playing role player now. I'm happy to be playing role player? Yes. I'm happy. I don't have to do as much. I can do, yeah. You left the kingdom to go be a servant.

I left the kingdom to go be a servant. Fuck no. It's a better position for me. I left the kingdom to go be a servant. Fuck no. It's a better position for me. I'm out there dying by myself. You're not bringing no help or nothing. It's my kingdom.

I got to figure it out. A kingdom that's felon. Yeah, being the king of a felon. A king that's felon don't mean shit. Got to figure it out. Man, king.

I went to something worse than us. You came. Our shit was better than over here. The top guy don't even want to get better. So what?

This kingdom just fallen. Who was the top guy? Bang. Pat, right? Pat, right? I mean, he make all the decisions, right? This is why the bickering, right? Shut up and just play, right?

Basically. Be quiet. Be the star. Huh? Be the star. I am the star. That's why we went to the finals. That's why we went to the finals twice.

Went to the finals twice with this bullshit you gave me. If you were the star, you wouldn't be in with the Warriors right now. He is a star. Warriors ain't. Oh, he is a star. Warriors ain't complaining. Jimmy Butler's a star. Seems like he like playing Batman. I mean Robin to me. Cool. He just like playing. I like Paul George. Yeah, I think at this point man, I got a win man. I want a championship, dog. Like all that trying to beat Batman with a shit that's falling, that ain't going to do nothing for me.

Getting there just to get there. All that trying to be real and keep it real to an organization that don't want to help. Watch how I'm going. You've been doing that to every organization you was with. Don't just give it to us. Don't just say that to us.

But we won, though. Don't just say that to us. Every time he was there, don't put shit on our name because you couldn't get it done with us. Me? Yeah, you. I like that you got to get into character.

Me? You. Wow. Don't come over here blaming us because you couldn't get it done. Wow, so going to the finals with that team, that was on him? Aren't you the leader? Wow. With that shit that he had?

I don't give a fuck what you got. Wow. Fuck. I mean, I don't know anybody else that's done that. Hey, hey. You done what? Let's see. You don't know anybody that's done what? They got Wiggins there, right?

Uh-huh. I hope they hold the same standard to him. Since we traded for each other, he should be able to come in here and hold it up. The same thing? Yeah. Right? Is that how we do that? Because who kingdom is it now over there in Miami?

It wasn't me. It should be Wiggins. Hey, when I was over here with Mr. It should be Wiggins. No, no, no. I said now, though. It should be Wiggins, right? No, no, no, hero. King for king, right? Hey.

No, king for king now. King for king. Am I the king over here with the Warriors before I went to Miami? OK, so you're not trading a king for a king. Well, he wasn't a king when he got to Miami. I ain't never been a king, so you traded a rook for a king. I was, Jimmy wasn't a king before he went there.

He wasn't. So you're not? He wasn't a king before he went there. He wasn't. So you're not? He wasn't a star? He wasn't. He wasn't a star in Miami? He wasn't a star player in Minnesota.

In Philly too. We're talking about Miami. Was he the star in Miami? In Philly? In Philly? No. Miami. No, he became a star.

He would have never been a star until he got to Miami. Yeah. No, he was a rook. Huh? He was a rook. He was a star. Y'all add it up. Y'all on different pages. Get on the same page and He was a rook. He was a star. Y'all add it up.

Y'all on different pages. Get on the same page and talk to me. He wasn't a king. Y'all get on the same page and talk to me. Like, Embiid, I think, was like above him. Yeah, for sure. Towns, that was Towns' team. So when he got there, he was a rook.

Even on Chicago, that was the Rose team. Right? The Rose got hurt. It was his team. It was the team. He had 51. That's what solidified Jimmy Butler's team from that point forward. Okay, then after that, he became a what? He was supposed to be the star.

But he wasn't a star. When did he supposed to be? When he left Chicago. He was supposed to, but he went in as a number two. Left. Went to Philly as a number two. Number three, probably. And then he came to Miami.

Where they put him as what? The number one. Okay, so why would you leave that position? We're not worried about that. We're saying we Were saying Wiggins going there now He should be the number one right why cuz he's wasn't the number one when he left and and Jimmy was the number one when he Left Philly we talk about Philly when talking about Philly. We're talking about Miami. Don't use Philly because it makes sense to you. Talk to your boy. Hold on.

Hold on then. If Jimmy was the number two when he got to Miami, became the number one, and Wiggins is the number two, and he's going to Miami, we're saying he should be the number one, right? It's the same scenario, sir. It's the same when Bam was there. Bam was there. I mean, you did say they were the same player.

Yeah. You just said that. You did say that Wiggins and... Who was the number one option in Miami? But you said they're the same player. When he got there... I like the way y'all just... You said they were the same player.

We're saying he's number two. Who was the number one option in Miami? He rolled it. Jimmy. Jimmy Buck. He left. Yes. What option was Wiggins when he got traded? What option was... He's number two. He rolled it. Jimmy. Jimmy Buck. He left.

Yes. What option was Wiggins when he got traded? What option was- He's number two. He's the number two option. When Jimmy got, when Jimmy- So are we trading a king for a king? When Jimmy got traded there, what number was he?

He wasn't a king. Why do you keep saying that? Because it's the same Wiggins. I'm not talking about- No, it's not. Two number twos going there to be the number one. What the fuck is he talking about? He came a one. One guy came a one. Jimmy was a two to be the number one. I became the one.

Jimmy was the two that became the one. You're saying people are watching. They're laughing at you. Jimmy was the number two when he landed in Miami. He became the number one. So when you become the number two, when you become the number

one, you're the number one. Okay. You are the number one, you're the number one. Okay, yeah. You are the number one in Miami. Yes. Okay. You got traded for who? A number two. So it's not king for king.

And then the number two has to be the king now, like Jimmy had to be the king. Who's the king? No, Tyler Hero's the king. No. Bam was the king when he got there. All around, Tyler Hero's averaging 20 a game, and he's an all-star. How the fuck is Tyler Hero not number one? He's an all-star. a game and he's an all-star Just trade you for a team I just yeah, he's an all-star. Yes. Yes. He is. He didn't make an all-star

King was down now. There's a new because the king was down. He was down see the the king was down. Now there's a new king coming. Because the king was down. The king was down. See, the king was down, right? I mean, the king... The king was down, so there's a new king coming. Wait, Wiggins was all-star? Hold that king... Yeah, he was. Hold that king to his throne. Yeah. I mean, I'm just...

That's what you don't want to do. So is Wiggins the number one option for the Miami Heat? He got to be. He should be. That's what you're telling me. I mean, he got to be. Is he? He should be.

Is he? If you trade straight up, he should be. Yep. Straight up. Listen, he said they're on the same? He should be. Is he? If you trade straight up, he should be. Yep. Straight up. Listen, he said they're on the same level. He said they're on the same level. So if they're on the same level and Wiggins got a ring and an All-Star, I mean, he should be better than Jimmy then.

Who was the king of Miami? Jimmy Butler. So how the fuck are they on the same level as one is a one and the other is a two? But you just said they're on the same level as games. So how exactly is the number one option... Because he became the number one option when he got over there. Now that he's back to who he is.

But when I was, look, this is what I did. Wiggins never was the number one option, bro. Now he should be, though, right? But now he should be, right? Why is he he should be when Tyler Herro's the all-star? But you just said they're the same level. Wiggins was the number one option in Minnesota. You just said Wiggins and Jimmy they're the same level. What option in Minnesota?

You just said Wiggins and Jimmy Butler's the same level. Right. It doesn't mean they're the same option. But they're the same. I don't know. What do you mean? Because they all play the small forward position. They're interchangeable.

They can all guard and move. They can all jump and run. They're the same type of player. So they got the same game. They got the same game. No. They're the same type of players. You said that. Okay.

Same type. They're not the same type of player, man. Kings. Yes, so. Same type. They're not the same type of player now. Kings. Yes, they are. No, they're not now. But one is a position. One is number one option. The other nigga is number two.

But they're the same player. They play the same type of game. What the fuck is so different? One is number two, but they're the same. So you're saying Wiggins. Did you hear what I said? Is Wiggins going to be the number one? Yeah, I did.

Do we not say this in crayon colors? Yeah, please. Please explain, because you said they're the same player, but one is one and the other is two. Yeah. But they're the same. The same player. So if I'm the same, I cannot be one.

Hey, Nick, you know I know what you're doing. You're going to catch yourself. You just watch Kendrick do it, bro. The Tickle Boo, I'm going to get you. I see you. I know what you're doing, but it's not working. Y. I'm going to get you. I see you. I know what you're doing, but it's not working. Y'all not going to get me with that trolling shit. You got it with yourself.

You're not going to get me with that. But they're the same player. Same type of player. Same type of player. Same player. Same type of player. But one is one. Same type of player.

So if Nick is in Miami and there's another player that plays just like Nick, what's the difference? Nick is the number one option. Right, and that played just like Nick, what's the difference? Nick is the number one option. Right, and he played just like Nick. So now he got his chance, and he's getting traded for Nick. He has a chance to do whatever he can do to become the number one. But guess who? Someone's already the number one there.

Who's the number one? But why are they the number one? Bro, he's an all-star. That's why. Because the number one was down, right? Bro, did you just create a fucking excuse for why Tyler Herro's an all-star. That's why. Because the number one was down, right? Bro, did you just create a fucking excuse for why Tyler Herro's an all-star? Who was number one before Jimmy got there?

Because he had to take somebody. He had to step on somebody's toes, right? So you're basically saying that... Y'all just going to keep me. So Wiggins can't come there and just... Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I got traded for the king, so I'm the new king? No.

Why not? But they're the same player. Because that wasn't the move. We didn't make a move to get another king. We wanted to get rid of this nigga. What are y'all talking about? But you got the same player. What are y'all talking about?

But you got the same player. We wish we would have got Kaminga. So this is what you said. We wanted to get rid of this nigga. Kaminga can come here and be a king, but the all-star can't come here and be a king. Yeah, wait. I said we would love to have Kaminga come in here. Over Wiggins. You want another one of the same players. Kaminga over Wiggins?

What did I just say? They all the same type of player. What's the difference between Kaminga and Wiggins? All-Star. Age. Age. Age. Age. Don't we talk about age? I thought we was pros. I thought we was pros.

I thought we was pros. You just said look at AD. Let's You just said Luka A.D. Let's not get rid of our assets for the future. Let's not break up the band. Oh, but they can get rid of Luka for the future. Why are we going to keep Kaminga, right? Because he younger. Hey, let me just jump in real quick.

We can keep this discussion going, but we are nine subscribers away from 906,000. We are trying to give y'all bread. We are nine subscribers away. Hit that subscribe button if you haven't done it already. We're doing our gillion subscribers giveaway. So Wiggins. So six of y'all smart and fucking listen.

But three of y'all need to get your minds right. Maybe we get to 907. Wait a minute. I got to create a three-way body bag now. I got to stitch together a whole three-way body bag now. I got to stitch together a whole three-way body bag. I'm going to drag you motherfuckers for three, four miles all connected to each other.

Okay, so he said they shouldn't be a king. We're going to hold them to when he said they played the same. Same type of player. Jimmy Butler's been the number one option since he's been in Miami.

His career, his career averages are 18.3, 5. averages are 18.3, 5.3, 4.3 assists. Mm. Wiggins as a number two option, Mm.

18.5, 4.5, 2.3. Mm. As a number two. Where was he the number two option? Who? Um.

Damn, when you say who, you're looking at your, you're looking at your fucking phone. Who you think I'm talking to? Who we talking about? You got the phone out, you don't know who I'm talking about. Is there a number one option? When was Wiggins the number one option?

Say the year. Oh, I'm just, I actually- Say the years. No, I'm saying what he's averaging. He said that's what he's averaging as a number two, and that's what Jimmy's averaging as a number one. He's been a number three in Golden State. What years was he the number two that you're saying that he's averaging as a number two, and that's what Jimmy's averaging as a number one. He's been a number three in Golden State. What years was he the number two that you're saying that he's averaging at? This year.

Every year. He averages 20. He's averaging 21 this year, 17 last year as a third option, 19 the year before that as a third option, 19 as an all-star as the third option, 20 his first year there as a third option. 19 as an all-star as the third option. 20, his first year here, as a third option. So, read before that.

So... Read before that. He was averaging 20. 23? Yeah. 22? 18? 17?

22? What option was he then? What year? In Minnesota? It was one. Or, well, no, town. I don't know. Town was...

So, what we're saying is... Well, he was there first. In Minnesota? It was one. Our well-known town. Oh, that town. I don't know. I mean, second. So what we're saying is... Well, he was there first. There was three people there, right? No. Three. It was Wiggins, Levine, and Cat. Mm-hmm.

And Jimmy. No, but... Him and Jimmy played together. No, no, no. Wiggins came out before them. Him and Jimmy played together. Yeah. Him and Jimmy played together.

Yeah. And Jimmy was the second option. Yeah. He was the third. Yep. No, he was together. And Jimmy was the second option. He was the third. Jimmy was the third. We don't know. But all I'm saying is this. This man is putting up the same career numbers as the king, so shouldn't

he be the king? Hold it. Come on. No. Why you don't want him to go there to be the king? Tyler Hero's putting up better numbers. Is he going to fail? Because Tyler Hero's putting up No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. I mean, well, damn. He's hooping. So you don't want him to go fight for the kingdom? It's somebody already the king.

So because there's a king there, you just sit. It ain't no kingdom. This nigga been here since he been drafted. He got drafted here. He's the king. Let me just throw this out there for a discussion's sake. So when Jimmy Butler first went to the Miami Heat, he told Pat Riley that Andrew Wiggins was the most talented player

that he'd ever played with. Damn, so the king saying this is the most talented, but you don't want him to be the king when he get there. He should automatically There's already a king. I'm like, you just keep asking for cheesecake and I keep saying no.

No, nigga. You can't handle fucking cheesecake. No. That's crazy. No. No. That actually did happen fucking cheesecake. No. That's crazy. No. No. That actually did happen at one of our Monday Night Watches. This is the same man who says that you got to go and fight. Why are you going there being an option?

He paraded. He killed Paul George for saying, oh, that's the number two. But he's not going to go there and be the number one. And he feels. Paul George volunteered his spot publicly in national media. Andrew Wiggins ain't said a goddamn thing. But you don't want him to go there and fight for the number one?

Maple Jordan. Maple Jordan. You don't want to go there? Okay. He should just go there and accept to be the number two. Somebody's already number one. There's always someone number one. Right.

Whenever you get drafted or whatever, there's always a number one when you get there. There's always someone number one. Whenever you get drafted or whatever, there's always a number one when you get there. There's always one. Is it successful with Tyler Hill being the number one? Damn, right? Has he ever been? I've never ever known that when a player gets drafted or gets traded, there's not a nigga that's already there as the best player.

There's 30 teams. That means there's 30 number one. Why didn't Klay Thompson try to be the number one? He was never number one. Klay was never number one. Who was the number one? Y'all not even listening to y'all answers. When Steph got there,

who was the number one option? Monte Ellis. Okay, and who took it over? Nobody took it over. They traded the nigga, bro. So they moved him out the way. Why? They wanted him to be number one.

Why? I don't fucking know. I didn't ask them. Because one was like, okay, he looks like he's about to be a better driver. No, one was actually reckless because he's from Mississippi. So one looks like he's about to be a better driver.

They couldn't... Then he says, oh, no, because one is reckless. He's a reckless driver. They both played reckless oh, no, because one is reckless. He's a reckless driver. They both play reckless. Yeah. Steph played reckless, too. One looks like a better driver.

Mm. Y'all done asking for cheesecake? One looks like a better driver. Y'all done asking for cheesecake? Are you done? Are they not getting the cheesecake? Hell no. No cheesecake.

What's this? Okay. You get a fucking ice cream sandwich. Is it from Junior? Take that motherfucking ice cream sandwich. Take it out of the bed, motherfucker. You asked for some cheesecake? Where did cheesecake come from?

From Junior's. Junior's, motherfucker. Walk to Junior and come. Eight hours I want you to walk for this shit, boy. So we asked the chat, is Jimmy Butler a good fit with Steph? 86% said yes. Also, we have surpassed 906,000 subscribers

OK. So Mr. G. How's she gonna learn, though? Then why the fuck you on your knees crying when she do leave? Who crying? Pat Riley. Pat Riley. He said Pat Riley.

No, no, keep the same scenario, sir. Why is he crying? Who told you that? Who told you that? Who told you that? Who told you that? It's real? We believe you?

We're supposed to believe you? Got pictures of it? So I'll read the quote. So according to multiple league sources with knowledge of the meeting, tears welled in Riley's eyes as he attempted to connect with Butler on a human level. Both men had lost their fathers, and Riley's famed toughness faded in the moment. His toughness faded? As he thought about Butler mourning his father's death last season.

But Riley's vulnerability did not land with Butler. The player viewed Riley's behavior as unhinged, a leaked source close to Butler said. Butler left the meeting more convinced than ever that he needed a new basketball home. Okay, so, mister, since that is reported, your scenario of kick her out, then why are you crying when the person,

when the hoe leaves? Nah, nigga. Because you like the hoe. Okay. What you mean? I thought you said G-code. It is the G-code. You, when the hoe leaves? Nah, nigga. Because you like the hoe. OK. What you mean? I thought you said G-code. It is the G-code. Cry when the hoe actually leaves?

No, you don't cry, but you care. Oh. So you don't want the hoe. No, you don't want the hoe disrespected. OK, but so the hoe decides to leave, and you get on your knees. Man, stop fucking hoes. You know what I'm saying? Women.

But you get on your knees and cry. Unstable creatures. Unstable creatures, if you will. His scenario, the NG code, if you get out, you're disrespecting me in front of the world. Get out! Cool. I got another pimp.

Oh, no. We're talking actually about pimp analogy. Please, baby, don't leave. Please, baby, God damn. All right, no. Oh, we're talking actually about him for now. Please, baby. Don't leave. Please, baby. God damn. All right, well. Now you're going to stay. Now you're going to have 25 games.

Hey, now you're going. 25 games. Now you're going. Now you're going. Now, yep. Hey, what the coach supposed to say? Hey, the last six weeks was so challenging. I'm so happy I had to go through that because I never had a piece of work that just wasn't.

Yeah, no, no, no, no. How old is Pat? How old is Pat? I want to know. I want to a piece of work that just wasn't... Yeah, no, no, no. How old is Pat? I want to know, was it that? Was Jimmy Butler more challenging than having LeBron in them around? No, none of it's challenging. He just took his off the plane. You thought you could negotiate.

That was the problem. You thought you could negotiate. You thought the money mattered to him and it didn't. You were trying to use about no having no fucking jimmy stop saying get out of here talking to you but you can't say that you're saying you're doing all this tough shit but he's reading the article again all that went out the window right he tried to connect with him on a human level again try to connect with him on a human level obviously they both lost their Try to connect with them on a human level. Obviously, they both lost their father. If we don't believe

the Dallas guy, if we don't believe the Dallas Mavericks owner, I'm not believing that. He got an old time. Bro, to tell Jimmy Butler just to do that after I got...

If you don't believe the Dallas Mavericks owner, I'm not believing that. You thought the... I'm not believing that. If he can't tell the truth, he can't tell the truth. Whoever's saying that...

This is first person. First person. The first person's crying. This came out of the fucking owner's can't tell the truth. Whoever's saying that... This is the first person. The first person's crying. This came out of the fucking owner's mouth. You're saying the owner's lying. He's saying it out of his own mouth. No, no, no, no. The owner... Pat Riley's crying.

He's first option. The owner is listening to someone tell him about Luca. Okay. Right? So what was his crying going to do? Stop the trade? No, he thought that he can... Please don't go.

He can connect with Jimmy and Jimmy wouldn't leave. So, just, so, oh, and Jimmy... Jimmy had to say so to say, no, I don't want to go? No, no, no, no, basically, let's say... It don't make no sense, because it ain't real, bro. Okay, so, again, before he's trading them, he's trying to negotiate and talk to Jimmy, like, come on, just stay.

So they had a meeting. He's in there trying to connect. Your dad died. My dad died. We connected in this bond and trying to make it seem feelable. And Jimmy's like, yeah, I'm good. I'm out. But he still had to press okay on the trade.

Yeah. Because Jimmy didn't want it. I'm not coming back. I'm not. I don't have joy playing here. You know how, like, when you cheat on your girl, and then you got to jump on your knees and start begging, please, baby, please don't leave me. Please.

But I thought y'all said, owners can keep me, motherfuckers. They won't. If I want to keep you, I can still keep you. It don't matter. You don't show up. You don't get paid. Just imagine. So why would I cry if I got the power?

It don't make sense, Nick. It don't make sense. Why has it got to be about a relationship? Because he didn't want to leave one of them. Let's keep the women out of this. You had the power when you was cheating, right? You got the power. You got the power.

Nick, what you saying is why didn't we hold the trade till the summer? Why didn't we hold on to this? You can hold on as long as I want to. You're not the owner. You're the general manager. Why, if we are rich and we are the men, why would we get caught cheating while we crying? So you're saying the owner should forget about it.

While we crying. Is that what you're saying? I'm just saying. While we crying and begging our girls not to leave us after we got caught cheating. But you don't have the power of like, bitch, you can't leave. Baby, please. Baby, please don't leave me. Let's be respectful to women.

Pat finally got the power of Like, you can't leave if I don't want you to leave. You can. He had to sign off on that. I'm going to borrow some diamonds. Yes. Like, don't he have to sign off on that? Yes.

He's suspended indefinitely, so he's at home. I'm going to borrow a chain. That's what I'm saying. Don't Pat Riley have to send him there? Like, he could veto and say, no, we don't want to do this shit. And then Jimmy's not going to be

joyful at work. It don't matter. You're still here, though, so you don't get to lose money. But you lose him. not going to be joyful at work. It don't matter. You're still here, though. So you don't get to lose money. But you lose them. I'll get money. I'll get all the money back. You don't get nothing for me.

We did have a lot of joy and excitement. We didn't have no 20,000 shirts that welcomed LeBron shirts Not sure if that's what happened here. We did have a lot of joy and excitement We didn't have no 20,000 shirts that they didn't welcome LeBron right Leluka bronchic as they're known different Brother I got plans for this There's gonna be a Luka blimp out this motherfucker just going across the bus today. Yeah! What does he have to do?

He definitely have to win. He ain't got to win. They giving him the face. Nah, he in L.A. I mean, he already got the face of the league what's across his jersey. Can I ask a question? Yes, sir. Is the face of the league a winner? Nope.

No. No. A winner in life. Because A.I. was the face of the league. He didn't win. Nah, he wasn't the face. A.I. was never the face of the NBA. He was the face of the young, most popular... The player of the league is pushing out too. The streets love A.I.

Melo is probably one of the most popular. Okay, so the face of the league. When Michael Jordan was the face of the league... When Michael Jordan was the face of the league all right when Michael Jordan was the face of the league when Michael Jordan was the face of the league no he didn't he didn't win he just this is the guy who pushes our shit globally there's a difference okay global is global okay so is it two faces of the league you have your clean cut because the you have your clean cut the guy who can talk and the guy who you can market and then you have your face of the league that's the most dominant player and that's another face of the league is who the NBA pushes.

You remember, like, Tim Duncan won five championships. Was he ever the face of the league? No. Face of Old Navy, though. He was the face of nothing. No, but everybody knew he was the best player in the league. Nobody knew that. Oh, my God.

From your peers? Oh, my God. From your peers talking? Oh, my God. He just be reacting. He just say shit. He don't even see me. So if we're talking, I know what the league is doing.

Kobe was the face. Go ahead. I know what the league is doing. I'm on your side. I wanted him to laugh. So I can ask when was Shaq and Kobe the face if Tim Duncan was in the gym? I wanted him to go ahead and speak it. Why would you do that?

Why would you do that? The last 10 years, who's been the face of the league? Why would you do that? The last 10 years. I wanted him to stand on laughing because his favorite player, he said, was the best player in the league the whole time. So how can Kobe be the best player and Duncan? Don't help him.

I'm just, I mean, how can Kobe and Duncan be the best players and Duncan? No, don't help him. How can Kobe and Duncan be the best players in the league? There's only one spot at the top. Right, but every league, there's always somebody who's the best player in the league, right? Who's the face of the league? One year, the best player is Kobe. The next year, it's probably Tim Duncan.

The next year, it's probably Shaq. It goes like that. As far as the best. No, no, no. The NBA, they're going to put whoever a clean cut, whoever can talk. the next year it's probably Tim Duncan, the next year it's probably Shaq. Like, it goes like that. As far as the best. Now, the face... No, no, no, no. Now, the face, the NBA, they're going to put whoever a clean cut, whoever can talk. You're fucking great.

You just made a great point. The faces, who... I think people relate to, like, Kobe. I think people will relate more to Kobe than... So, who has been the face of the league the last 10 years? The last 10 years? Steph Curry and...

And LeBron. I thought you said there's only one at the top. No, I think it's LeBron. Oh, my God. Give me an answer. Curry and LeBron. The last 10 years, Steph Curry and LeBron. I thought you said there's only one at the top. No, I think it's LeBron. Oh, my God, give me an answer. Curry and LeBron. The last 10 years. Curry and LeBron. Who held that damn Captain America shit on that ship?

Curry was the face for a couple years. Okay. Between those two guys, are they champions? Yes. Before them, who was the face of the league? Kobe Bryant. Was he a champion? Yes.

Before Kobe, who was the face of the league? I mean, I mean. They was making LeBron, they was making LeBron face. Before Kobe Bryant, who was the face of the league? They was making LeBron face before he was. Yeah, I know. Just let him get through his point. Michael Jordan, 98.

Michael Jordan, 98? Uh-huh. 98, Michael Jordan, 98. Before Michael Jordan, who was the face of the league? What year? What year? No, we're not just gonna, what year? Well, if he's gonna go eight.

Who was the face of the league in 1990? Yeah. McCants answer. Was it Larry Bird? No. Who was it? You know who it was. You know who it was!

Magic Johnson? You know who it was! Magic Johnson? You know who it was! Magic Johnson? He was in the champs. The guy who they said this is the best player that ever walked this earth, that man. No.

Whoever that was. He wasn't the face of the league. They did that in 88, 87. It wasn't the face of the league. It was still guys that were still playing. There was still two guys that were still playing. He was the face of the league. That's your opinion. You know, the one that they changed all the rules for.

They changed all the rules for. You know, when Nike went from the wings to the nigga like this, that guy. You remember this guy. That guy. What year did they do that? What year did they do that? How many championships did they have? Okay. 93 they did that. 93 he became the league. No, that's what you want

to say so you can have your narrative. The NBA in 88-87, this is the new nigga. We're going to push him. He went from the wings to his own logo. GQ article, best player

to ever walk this earth. Not the best player in the league. Ever walk this earth. Magic? Bird was complaining. How was he the face of the league? How are you pushing him? TV deals was coming from Michael Jordan. Bird was complaining. He didn't even even winning championship yet But
