I'm Trej Wilson, a.k.a. Stat Baby, along with your hosts, Mace and Cam. Hello, what's good, man?

Hey, shit, how you, man? You all right? How's your weekend? It's going really good, man. Good, that's what's up, man. I'm happy to hear that. Yeah, where you at, Stat? I'm in New York City. Yeah. Tonight is the WNBA draft, y'all, so yeah. Should be interesting.

Okay. Last night was the draft. Or is it tonight? What or is it tonight what night is it tonight it's night it's monday night yeah monday night all good so yeah we'll get to see caitlin clark and a lot of other good players so it should be good but we can discuss our next episode after we see who does go number one overall even though you know we already kind of know so you think you already know i'm pretty sure we all already know if they if they decide last minute to put somebody else as first overall i think the whole world will be shocked yeah they would kind will be shocked. Yeah, they will kind of be shocked. That ain't going to happen.

The Indiana Fever already negotiated 36. They got 40 games this season. They already negotiated 36 national TV games last week. You know what that's saying. 36 out of 40 national television games already negotiated, and the girl ain't even get drafted yet. You know what that's about. You ain't never see the Indiana Fever 36 times in one year on television.

So they'll be dumb as fuck. I bet you all them contracts, they just got to be out the window. Yeah, it seemed like Darn Staley must have knew something when she said she's going to lift the game. Yeah. Yeah. For sure, for sure. Yeah, 36 out of 40 games as well,

and for a player not even to be drafted yet. It's crazy. Pacers don't even get that nationally televised games so it's crazy but um okay so let's start nba is getting real spicy right now the lakers beat the pelicans 124 to 108 the lakers secured the eighth seed which will force a rematch tonight what's your prediction on who will win that game? The Lakers or the Pelicans? That's interesting.

Where are they playing at tonight? I want to check. Because I'm quite sure they want revenge. Yeah, for sure. I believe they're going to play in New Orleans with the Pelicans. I believe they got the 7th seed. I'm not sure, though. No believe they're going to play in New Orleans if the Pelicans I believe they got the seventh seed. I'm not sure

though. No, they did. I know they got the seventh seed, but I'm saying I would believe because they're the highest seed, they play at home. And for the play-in? Yep. Yeah.

It's in New Orleans. I know who's gonna win but I was thinking I was thinking Zion better not let LeBron come in inside New Orleans and get that game

it's not like they get a do over after that night because they're playing the Lakers who just beat them, so they should be going home with a lot of animosity about this, and especially because they got beat so convincingly. This is where the pride of who you are as a basketball player got to kick in, and especially the morale of the team. But we talked about this last week. When it comes down to one game, I said it, and I know Cam has been saying this for the

longest time. If it's just one game that LeBron has to win, you almost got history on your side and legacy and everything else. It's just a hard game to get when you're playing against somebody that got that much repertoire and as much history that he has with the league and history and winning. So I would go with the Lakers, but I was really hoping that, you know, the young boys proved that the old niggas don't still run everything.

So that's my way to play at OJ, you know. Taylor, what you think? I think it's going to be a really good game. Last night or yesterday afternoon, theakers really like you said convincingly beat new orleans uh brandon mangram didn't look like he was in basketball shape he just got back zion played a terrible game um i think they have one day to study film i don't think that new or is going to play as bad as they did last night, tomorrow night. But I'm still going to pick the Lakers to win, depending on Anthony Davis' health. I don't know if you watched the end of the game, but with four minutes left, he got hurt.

And had to go back to the locker room, grabbing his back, walking gingerly, stretching out all on the floor during the middle of the game with four minutes left. So he didn't even finish the game. So it isn't like he has a lot of time to figure out exactly what's going on or the Lakers organization doesn't have a lot of time. So it depends on the health of Anthony Davis. He didn't finish the game. And he makes the difference. He makes the difference, man. He didn't finish the game. And he makes the difference. He makes the difference, man.

He does. You can still see, watching that game, that LeBron James was the best player on the floor. And LeBron is 39 playing like he's 29, playing out of his mind. But he can't do it by himself.

Anthony Davis is the difference maker. So if Anthony Davis is at least 90%, then I'm going to pick the Lakers to win. But he didn't finish the game. He walked out slowly to the locker room, grabbing his back cause, and I really have no idea if you could fix a back injury in 48 hours.

So we'll see. You definitely can. You definitely can fix a back injury in 48 hours so we'll see but if you definitely can't you definitely fix your back in 48 hours if it's a knee or elbow or something like that maybe or a hamstring maybe you get a shot or something like that pause but when it's your back that's not... There's no way to recover that unless they spend $2 million on his body right quick. There's somebody that can

help him. Just looking at that nigga, he's so fucking annoying, yo, because I know... I put myself, every time i see him get hurt in the lakers uniform or a laker fan or in the lake and somebody who enjoys watching the lakers and there's gotta be frustration the roller coaster ride that you go on with anthony davis being hurt not hurt available not available knowing how good the Lakers could possibly be if he's always available like LeBron is available.

Like I said, LeBron is in their 82 games, but however many games LeBron James played, he didn't miss a lot of games for a 39-year-old this year at all. So it has to be frustrating for people who like the Lakers or even if you're on the team because every time you see this nigga grab an ankle, a back, an elbow, an eyelash or whatever, it's like, oh, my God. And for him not to finish the game fucking yesterday was like, I was just looking because they look so good.

The Lakers look good. Them niggas look good the whole game. They was up 20 the whole game just about. And then he goes out and it's like they already had the game secure so they didn't have to worry about there's up 20 points when he went out but still you got to think about this for tomorrow night it's a one game situation yeah i'm gonna pick the lakers if anthony davis is healthy yeah but our lives is crazy. I would know about it, but, you know, yeah, he did have 30 and 11. But that's that that's the type of person I'm talking about.

He knows even after they win it that they got to play them tomorrow. And he don't want to be on. He don't want to be on the record for that. You know, you know, with the wrong organization because you're going to be on the record. And the thing about Anthony Davis is that

he's great when he's available. If you put up all the games he had this year when he was playing, he was great outside of the bonus and being a joker. Yeah, outside of the bonus and being – And the Joker.

Yeah, outside of them. Yeah, I was about to say that. When Joker is playing, it doesn't matter if he's available. Yeah, and a lot of people don't know, his last 10 meetings against Sacramento, not the Lakers, because they won without him playing the Lakers beating Sacramento, but his last 10 matches, games against Sacramento, he's 0-10 against the Bones.

He's 1-7 last eight games against MB, I mean against the Joker, and I think he's like 0-5, 0-6, something to that nature, against Philly when he plays dominant big men. You know? What you gonna say? You said Joel Embiid, you said Joker, and now you're saying Sabonis. Those are all frontcourt players.

Yeah, 0-10 against Sabonis as well. Yeah. That means Sabonis knows well. Yeah. That means Sabonis knows him. Yeah, exactly. So I know we were discussing LeBron's age, right? So in the game

that they did just previously play against the Pelicans, he did report a triple-double 28 points, 17 assists, 11 rebounds. How do you guys feel about him even performing still at this level? He said he spent $2 million on his body. He's supposed to be getting $28, $15, and $11. I mean, he took his body.

He did this stuff that was necessary, and that seemed to be like a new thing that people should focus on, both male and female athletes. I don't ever remember anybody taking care of themselves like that and staying in that type of shape. Not even Jordan, you know, when he came back for the Wizards. He was still slim, but he wasn't paused. He wasn't like cut up like that. So I think that that goes really far. He was still slim, but he wasn't cut up like that.

I think that goes really far. The last person I remember constantly taking care of themselves like that probably was Ray Allen. Somebody that even when they got older, they just stayed in tip top shape. That says a lot about him. And I know people joke around about spending money on his body, but even if he was taking something, you still would have to work out. So the regiment and the discipline is still there. And I'm not saying that he has.

I'm just saying even if somebody was trying to say that, it's like a girl, she could go get her body done. But if she's going to stay there, it's stuff she's going to have to do. If you're not saying that, why would you say that? That's what they do in the media. If you're not going to say that, I'm not going to. That's what niggas do in the media. I apologize, LeBron, because that's what niggas do in the media. I apologize, LeBron, because that's what niggas do in the media.

They say they ain't saying it, but they keep saying it. Thanks, Cam, for saying that. I hate when niggas do that, because niggas do that. They used to always do that to me. Now, I'm not saying this, but you keep saying it. It's like they

put you on the magazine and go, is he for real? Nigga, there's nothing good about that statement. Thank you, Cam, for saying that, you know? I got the LeBron and the James

family, man. Look, you don't hold me accountable. I don't hold you accountable. I'm just wondering, because you know it's like, you know it's like when a nigga be like, yo, I really hate to bother you, but you're about to bother me, right? Yeah, you know, my whole life,

I ain't never asked you for nothing. Don't start now, nigga. Keep the record going yeah exactly that's what I'm trying to say I hate when niggas be like yo I really hate to bother you but but

so you know you bothering me you know this already before you even say it you already know this man I ain't have to ask you this I wouldn't be asking you this didn't have to ask you this. I wouldn't be asking you this. Don't have to ask me this, man. Exactly.

But as far as LeBron playing, look, bro, me and Mace talked about it, I believe, on Friday before we left HAL. And we didn't talk about this specifically, but it was more like about how, I forget what blog or website or outlet that was that had their top 10 players, and they had certain players that had a LeBron, Anthony Davis, and I believe Kevin Durant, and we was talking about solely based off this season.

I don't believe either one of them. I had LeBron. Just because we don't know what's happening with Anthony Davis. D'Lo, and he's been playing good the second half of the season. LeBron, from game one to game 82, put on a show for us. Outside the seven, eight, nine games he missed. Put on a show for us. Outside the seven, eight, nine games he missed. Put on a show for his 21st season. Looks amazing.

And like May said, look, if you spend that much on taking care of yourself, that means what you do is important to you. What I will say is this, because I'm one of them people, too, that always kind of bash. Because I've seen it a lot last night i've seen

it this morning on a lot of people putting up what michael jordan did at 38 and what lebron did at 38 or what michael jordan did at 39 lebron lebron did at 39 but i'm saying this for the people that don't know and even for the people that do know, that 10, because I was one of them people too, that 10 to discredit the Wizards' Michael Jordan. What we have to keep into consideration when it comes to the Wizards' Michael Jordan and him not being in as good a shape as LeBron James, which is a fact,

is that Michael Jordan didn't go there to play. Michael Jordan went there to try and co-own the team and get his feet wet as an owner. And he seen how bad the team was doing and decided to suit up. A lot of people don't remember that. Like, we just all sit there and be like, Michael Jordan was a...

I don't like Michael Jordan. I don't like him. Me included. I was on that train for a minute. Then I had to sit back and do the due diligence and remember, that nigga didn't start the seasons playing with the Wizards. That nigga didn't get traded to the Wizards. He went there as an owner.

The owner team, he like, yeah, I can still beat these niggas. These niggas trash. And he ended up joining the team during that season, so it wasn't like he had an off-season of training, a summer of training. He wasn't even playing or playing, so even though 38, 39-year-old Michael Jordan isn't 38 to 39-year-old

LeBron James, he wasn't supposed to be playing. He just seen niggas was in dire straits and needed help. And he said, let me put my cape on. So I just want to put that out there. Yeah, that makes sense. Because I remember Mike was finger rolling and all that.

I wasn't used to Mike finger rolling. Yeah, your mother. Yeah, your mother. I used to sit on the Wizards joint. Not even for LeBron. I used to be like, I don't want to hear that Wizards joint and shit, man. I don't like the Wizards joint. I was looking at something probably about a year ago

and I was like, you know what? Mike didn't even come over here to play. Mike wasn't even supposed to be playing. He ain't trained or none of that shit. Mike motherfucking got up and was like these niggas ain't shit let me suit up and see what I can do

I remember that year Paul Pierce just recently told a story how that year that same year during the All-Star break Mike Jordan was at halftime in the locker room smoking cigars. And niggas thought that he wasn't coming back out for the second half

and then end up hitting the game-winning shot. Mike on that type of time during them years. You know what I'm saying? Like, you smoking cigars at halftime? Yeah. My poor kid said, we thought Mike wasn't coming back out second half. And he ended up winning the game-winning shot during that 38, 39-year-old era. So I just want to put that out there.

Yeah. And also, I mean, before we move on, at 39 is when niggas start getting hurt. Niggas, their ankle, their back, their Achilles, their hip, all of that. So, you know. And murder, to, all of that. So, you know. And murder, the add-on to that.

People get hurt doing that without playing basketball at that age. Yeah, so what LeBron is doing is a miracle, for real. Yes, sir. Definitely is. Okay, so the Bucs lost to the Magic 113-88. Giannis missed his third straight game due to injury. How do you guys feel about Giannis' absence, or are you guys not even worried about it right now?

Kayla, you could go first on that. First of all, I watched that game when Giannis got hurt. Niggas better hope it's just a calf injury because the way Giannis fell, it looked more like an Achilles situation. Nobody was near the nigga. Nobody hit him. He was just walking and fell. I seen that way too many times when it comes to Achilles tears or strains or whatever, Achilles injuries, period.

or strains or whatever, Achilles injuries, period. So I hope for the buck's sake that it's just a calf injury and hopefully he can come back because this will be another terrible time to be getting hurt. You know, this will be a terrible time to be getting hurt. And what I'll say is this. They end up getting a third seed. Shout out to the Knicks. The Knicks finished with the second seed, man.

Yeah. The Knicks finished with the second seed, man. You know, shout out to New York, man. It's been a minute. They got a 51 season and the second seed, man. So congratulations to them, man. But I'm pretty sure we'll talk about them later. But as far as the Bucs, I would be worried.

I would be totally worried because Indiana seemed to have their way with the Bucs this season. It seemed like it seemed like that they had total control over the Bucs. I think they lost one game to the Bucs while they won three. This is off the top of my head. I'm not sure. Oh, yeah, they was a player when he went Dame time. Yeah, that's what I was getting to.

Like, yeah, like, Halliburton was having his way. Dame time, they was winning. They ended up beating them going to the play. And I think after the play, the Bucs beat them once, but then Indiana beat them again. This is part of me if I don't have this absolute right, but I believe Indiana had their way with the Bucs this season. And sometimes you may not be able to figure a team out

to where possibly, you know, it's hard to beat a team that beat you three times over and over and over. But I think sometimes you got a nigga number like and i know these niggas these y'all niggas thought this was the problem yeah like i i know these niggas so i'm real interested to see how the first two games go i'm interested to see the health of um yannis and how this goes with doc rivers as well, because, Doc, you was brought in for these situations right here. We don't want to hear Giannis isn't available. We don't want to hear that he's hurt.

You are a veteran coach, and you work with the personnel that you have. So I know not sitting there acting like a superstar may not be 100%, but this is why you're supposed to be considered, quote unquote, a superstar coach. What are you going to do? So I'm interested in seeing that. But if I had to pick right this very second, and I know this isn't the question, the question was, how do we feel about the Bucs losing their third straight game? It's not about that. It's just a question for me, because it is what it is. The question is, will it is what it is the question is will they be able to beat the indiana pacers falling into that third seed and right now i

really can't say that i have a definitive answer that they will yeah i i think i think they're in trouble honestly i've been talking about um when the when the year first started, I had Milwaukee as my team to come out of the East, but with an injured Giannis looking like what you said, an Achilles tear, even if it's not a complete tear, it's still not something that I could see him recovering from and dominating this playoff season, which is right now. You know what I'm saying? And I think Doc has no excuse on another note because Doc has two other, he has another superstar and another all-star on the team.

So it's not like he doesn't have personnel to be on that team. I think he has two other all-stars and another superstar. So he really has no excuse to not get much of what needs to be done, especially in first round and partial to second round, because this is a team with Damon Lillard, Lopez, and Middleton, you should be able to win some playoff games with just that. But I think the thing that also came back to haunt them was just the personal issues of Damon Lillard off the court. I said that from the top of the year that that's going to be a transition that may take its toll on him as a player. I just knew what the psyche was because it was a new environment. And when you're going

through stuff with family, you can't really tell how that's going to go. Not putting it all on that, but I'm saying when you're going through those transitions and Damien's family to us. So we wish him the best. I want to see him do well. But two for 14? That don't even sound like Damon Lillard. We can't blame it on Glorilla, right? So then the only next thing to blame it on is off the court issues, because is Damian Lillard we talking about. This is Logo Damian, you know? And to say he was 2 for 14 is crazy, especially against Under Magic. But you also, Cam, was talking about the defense of the young boy down there. Sucks. So he had him shooting 2 for 14 It's crazy man

This is Damian Lillard That don't even make sense What you talking about Orlando Yeah Yeah yeah Suggs He became a really good Defender this past year

So it sound like That's paying off Especially if he got Damian Lillard At 16 points At 2 for 14 Shooting That's paying off, especially if you got Damon Lillard at 16 points at 2 for 14 shooting. That's crazy. For the Bucs.

Hypothetically speaking, right, if Giannis doesn't return anytime soon or like Cam said, if he returns injured, do you guys think that the Bucs will still be able to finish strong or have you kind of lost hope? Because I think you guys both that the Bucks will still be able to finish strong or have you kind of lost hope because I think you guys both had the Bucks you know as like your favorite in the east at the beginning of the season how's that completely swapped for you without Giannis is a complete no for me because I don't because they were having struggles with Indiana with Giannis remember that early in the plan?

Remember, Indiana was acting like they was about to win the plan. Remember, they ended up going against the Lakers when we thought we was going to see the Bucs versus the Lakers. And, you know, that's when Halliburton took the game over. And we was like, oh, that ain't going to happen later in the season. And now they got the legendary Doc Rivers. Doc got to pull a rabbit out of a hat. Doc cannot be sitting around like his reputation speak for itself.

This is not the time to deal with that. We are with a new generation. What are y'all, Generation Z? And I know they live by what have you done for me lately. Nobody's going by what you did before. I tell people that all the time. If I can't bring up what I did in the past, what make you think I want to hear what you did in the past? Doc, we need to know what are you going to do right now?

Because now you got the New York Knicks. There's no more next year Knicks. It's a new year Knicks. Now they saying they the new York Knicks. There's no more next year Knicks. It's a new year Knicks. Now they saying they the new year Knicks, killer. The NY is not next year no more. It's a new year. So I don't see the Knicks. I don't see them beating Boston.

You know, like things have changed. And we still, the APB is still out on your arm. Triple J. I'm just letting you know that. So you're trying to be quiet over there. You're trying to walk around Miami. But. Last time I checked in the East Coast to. Yeah. But again, the clip that I posted that you guys say doesn't count. I did say my favorite is Miami, but my realistic answer was the Celtics.

So. Oh, my goodness. OJ smiling, looking down on you right now. Make that very clear. Yeah, look, I just checked it out. The Bucs are 1-5 this year, 1-4. I mean, let me just be all the way clear. 1, 2, let me see right here. Pardon me. 1, 2, 3. Yeah, they are 1-4 this year against the Pacers.

This don't look good, and that's what y'all is. This don't look good. So maybe they'll rub it up and figure something out for the playoffs but yeah i knew they're winning for this year crazy cold world okay and then the thunder defeated the mavs 135 to 86 they sat luca and kairi one what do you think of the think of the decision of sitting the both of them? And then, granted, I know that OKC has the first seed, but which team are you most confident in, despite the numbers?

Coming out of the West? Mavs versus OKC, yeah. Which team are you more confident with? And how do you feel about them sitting Luka and Kyrie in that game? I like both of those teams. I'm not sure how OKC responds in the playoffs. Like on paper, they seem dynamic, but I just don't have enough history with them at at this point to go on a limb and be like, yes. When it comes to the Mavs, I know what I'm getting. I'm getting two dynamic scorers, and Jason Kidd is doing a decent job out there.

But when it comes to them playing each other, I would have to go. them playing each other, I would have to go. And it's hard to go against, you know, Ramadan, Rhea, and my boy, Luka, because that's home team. I don't know. I can't even say. I can't really say. I can't fix myself to go against Kyrie and Luka. It don't matter who they play.

If it's not Denver, they got a 50-50 chance, I believe. If it's not, you know, Joker, because they don't got an answer for Joker. But when they're playing OKC, could they pull that off? They could. It depends on how they're gelling together. What was the exact question set basically how do you guys feel about them sitting kairi and luca and then which team are you most confident in despite their numbers the mavs or okc

well i would never play kairi and luca like they was that this wasn't the last game that mattered to, like, Oklahoma, Denver, Minnesota. They were all, everybody played because they were fighting for number one seed. LeBron James played because he was fighting not to be in the bottom of the plan. Kevin Durant played because he was fighting to not be in a plan. No matter what happened yesterday, the day before that, the day before that, the Dallas Mavericks was playing

the Clippers no matter what. So I risked putting Kyrie and Luka out there for one game when they know you have to play the Clippers anyway. It wouldn't matter if they played or not. They're playing the Clippers. A lot of games that happened yesterday depended on seeding. Those wasn't one of those

games to where Dallas would have played Kyrie or played Luka and then one of them get hurt and then they'll look at Jason Kidd like, you stupid motherfucker. Why was you playing him? And you know the playoffs is coming up. So absolutely fine with them not playing him. I think it would have been stupid to play

them. To me, this is the most intriguing first-round matchup of the playoffs. The Dallas Mavericks against the Los Angeles Clippers. This is going to be good. Who are you going with, Kelo? Who are you going with? The goody, man. If you ask me who I want, I want, like you said, Dallas to win because that's home team.

You know, we rooting for the family, you know, Sham and the rest of the family down there. But a healthy Kawhi Leonard is dangerous, man, and he hasn't been playing. But he's another one that has he been playing to get ready for the playoffs, or is it a secret injury that we don't know about? So I think it all depends on Kyrie's health. Pardon me, not Kyrie, Kawhi's health.

So if we got a healthy Kawhi, I'm going to say the Clippers, but if we don't, then I'm going to have to say the Dallas Mavericks. I don't think nobody can do anything with Luka, and nobody can do nothing with Kyrie. It's never been about the offense with Dallas this season. It's been more about their defense. In the last few weeks, they've been picking their defense up. We know they can put points on the board, but could they stop people?

And they've been doing it for the last few weeks let's see if it translates over into the playoffs uh are they are they are they injured um recently right now having a healthy paul george because that no if paul george wasn't healthy i would have said something about it. That's why I stress Kawhi Leonard. Paul George has been playing his ass off for the Clippers. He missed a couple games, but it wasn't due to anything major. But, yeah, he's healthy. It's about Kawhi. Kawhi is the one that hasn't been healthy the last two weeks or so.

But Paul George, Russell Westbrook, James Harden will all be available. And I'm pretty sure Kawhi will be available too. But was he resting to get ready for the playoffs or was he secretly hurt? He was not secretly hurt. Is the injury bigger than what they're making it seem to be? Yeah, whoever dominate out of Paul George and Luka is who's going to win that series. Because I see them taking the ball out of James Harden's hand

and out of Kyrie's hand more than they would normally do. Because Kyrie's going to get his, James Harden is going to get a few baskets. But it boils down to who dominates out of Paul George, the GOAT, and Luka. Whoever dominates out of them two is going to win that series. Okay, y'all. We're going to go to break. And when we return, we will discuss the Heat versus the Sixers. Don't go anywhere. maybe i'm my own problem babe she's tired of hearing i don't know

what's happening me won't fall oh oh dealing with this thing called trust but she really thinking about she wanna be free welcome back now let's get into our underdog fantasy picks of the day.

i think he's back yeah i thought he got hurt again i don't think it was serious enough for him to not play not play this next game yeah see see that this is what my concern was when they first talked about bringing them back. They're playing the Heat. They're balling. I'm not sure about this game. I'm not sure. It seems like it's almost Jimmy Butler time. It's time for him to go in the locker room, leave the emo outfit in the locker room, come back out as Jimmy Butler, playoff Jimmy Butler, and get the W.

I don't put anything past Miami. I just was trying to figure out where has Triple J been, giving stat and all of her love for miami heat can you tell me where triple j has been stat i mean just in my opinion shout out the heat but they've all just been underperforming a little bit you know he i mean he's still you know putting up points for the heat but he's not the main go-to person for the Heat. We knew that because he's a rookie. I'm just playing. I'm just bringing it up because all in the beginning,

you was Triple J, right, Kayla? Triple J. We was like, who's Triple J? You kept putting him on the radar. Now he's getting the attention that you're supposed to give people when folks talk about them. I mean, he still deserves. to give people when folks talk about them. I mean, he still deserved.

Yeah, I don't think that he beat the Sixers. And I also want Terry Rozier to start balling because when he first got there, I thought that was going to be a special, special situation. He's somebody that I really like his game, really like when he was playing down there in Charlotte, as well as with the Boston Celtics. So if they can kind of let him go a little bit more, they probably would do better. He needs to be a major contributor. Not to cut you off, but he actually was balling until he got hurt.

So, because I think he's made major contributions to the team, for real. So, I'm going to give him that. But injuries, you know, happen that we don't like because we don't have time for that right now. But they happen. Yeah, because his mother ran down on me, killer. Who mother? Terry Rozier.

And said what? You know, first she was telling the Maurice and tell me, so I didn't like what he said about my baby. You know, so people. She told who that? Maurice Corret. Oh, y'all was together? Yeah.

People are starting to run down on me. A lot of parents, too. Like, not happy. I need more security. Cam, we got to beef up my security. I got to get paid more to get more security because I'm walking through the airport different places, and it's not even players it be their parents like yo can I talk to you

now I can't even take a picture I don't know if somebody trying to swing on me or not somebody say can I take a picture you just feel somebody smack you in your back and you're like yo this is my this is my auntie.

I can't hit the auntie back. She said, don't say nothing about my nephew no more. I said, well, I didn't even say that. Cam said it. Yeah. You take this show serious. We got to watch what we say around here. That's why I've been at the big

horses. There's been people's aunts and their uncles. One lady was getting on a wheelchair. You know how they let the people on the wheelchair first? And the lady said, don't cut me off like you cut your hat off.

I said, what? don't cut me off like you be cutting Statt off. I said, why? I'm like, and then the white lady, the white lady, I couldn't believe it. She said, like, you be cutting Statt off. So I gotta watch it, Statt. Why are you getting on with the wheelchair people though, Murmur?

Why are you getting on when they get on? That's the question. You know, all them niggas always looking for the one up. That's crazy that you're getting on when they ask people who are handicapped and need extra help.

No, they say people who need extra time. One lady said, you don't need extra time. I said, miss, that's very disrespectful. You don't know how much time I need that's crazy man I ain't drinking myself you wild you don't know how much time I need I need all the time I can get.

I'll tell you now, if I ever see you and I ain't know you and I see you getting on with the people who need extra time, I'm going to be mad. People always come behind me and they say, we're only born people who need extra time. They say military. I said, miss, you know, I need extra time.

Yeah, military. You ain't military, nigga. Who knows? You don't know what I've been doing since I was a kid. Yeah, I ain't seen you for 20. I forgot.

I wish I would see a nigga shake your hand and say thank you for your service. You a wild nigga, man. Yeah. Yeah. We just playing about the military too. Yeah, we just playing about the military. But I do need more time. Yeah, shout out to everything y'all do

and we support y'all out there repping the country. This is a dangerous game for Philadelphia, even with Joel Embiid because this is where Miami seems to turn it up for some reason.

I'm not sure. Stat could probably tell us if everybody's healthy or not. But, damn, Jimmy Butler, Harrow's back. Look, Miami have a great team. It may not have been represented that well throughout the season. But when is it that he ever represented that well throughout the season? It's always the same mediocre lower level shit that niggas got to the championship from the playing that's why the playing is so dope those are one of them teams that you can't sleep on in the playoffs and

it's only going to take one win because whoever won this game plays the Knicks. So that'll be very interesting. But it's a few first round, first games in the plan that's interesting. Golden State versus Sacramento, interesting. Lakers rematch against New Orleans, interesting. And this game right here may be the most interesting. Now, I like the Golden State-Sacramento. I don't want to see that game before anything else. But Miami and Philly, this is a real interesting scenario.

Very interesting. Yeah. I don't know who's going to win. Especially because they got Kyle Lowry telling all the plays to Philly. He just left the six. I meant the Heat. So he's definitely over there wanting to get this win. He's definitely in Patrick Beverly mode right now.

We got to beat these niggas. Pause. I just got to let go by this team. Win this game for me, you know? Yeah. It's very interesting to watch. I can't. This is a pick-em.

I can't call this one. But if we're going on history gotta go with the heat man gotta go with the heat if we're going on history um my thoughts i just think it's interesting because everybody on the heat got healthy at just the right time i mean terry rosier has been a big contributor. It's still questionable whether he will return or not, but I do think it's going to be pretty even, especially if Embiid is healthy. I'm not going to say I'm gun home Miami because I really don't know. Like we have been fluctuating a lot these past games. The Sixers have been playing a lot well they're 5-0 since Embiid has made his return

so I can't let go of those factors but if Miami does win and then we do go on to play the Knicks that already I know it's just frustration on the Knicks side because we beat them last year in the conference semifinals so if that's a repeat that would be insane um I don't know I'm optimistic for both teams. Of course, I would want the Heat to move forward, but I don't know. It is hard to say right now. Yeah, well, the Heat is not beating New York. I want you to know that early.

New York said that last year. But it's a different team this year, you know. New York will be devastated if they lose to Miami. They would never be able to talk again. We got to forget that. Sam would not be able to talk for two, for the whole summer. He would just have to be quiet the whole summer. I believe that if the Miami

Heat end up playing the Knicks, they're going to win, in my opinion, healthy-wise. Look, we got to realize that... Cam can't come back to New York, yo. You can't come back to New York, Cam, talking like that. You're saying Cam

can't come back to New York, man, because of that. You know how't come back to New York, man, because of that. You know how many times they told me that? I better not see you around here. Then I go right around there. It wasn't like that, nigga. We love you, nigga. Look, I'm just being realistic.

Look, Jalen Brunson is having an outstanding run since the break. I mean, even before the break, he's been playing outstanding. And for a New York Knicks to ask him to do what he's doing in the seven-game series where not only Eric Spoelstra, you know who's upstairs man Pat Riley man Pat Riley's upstairs and the adjustments

will be made in a seven game series you understand so I may say if Julius Randle was playing maybe but a healthy I'm, but a healthy, I'm talking about a healthy Miami Heat.

I don't see the Knicks beating them. I'm not saying I don't want the Knicks to beat them, but for some reason that kid Jimmy Butler steps up in the playoffs. Bam Adebayo steps up in the playoffs. You got that nigga upstairs who don't know how to lose overseeing this whole shit. And to ask Jalen Brunson to get 35 every night, which he's been doing, which he's really, really been doing.

I know we had a conversation about best point guards in the NBA, and we probably had them at number four or five, depending on my list or Mesa's list. But I will say this, right now, currently, I believe that Jalen Brunson is the best point guard in the East Coast. I'm going to go on a limb and say that. Definitely.

So he's going to have to do what he has to do. Pardon me. He's going to have to do what he's been doing the last two and a half months for them to have any chance because we have to think about this. He's getting 60. He's getting 35. He's going to have to do what he's been doing the last two and a half months for them to have any chance because we have to think about this. He's getting 60. He's getting 35. He's getting 38. He's getting 40.

He's getting 41. He's putting – yo, these numbers since the All-Star break has been incredible. But I'm just saying when you play a team game after game after game, adjustments get made. And if he can make the right adjustments and the Knicks get past them, if Miami wins against Philly, that'll be tremendous. You got – yeah, yeah. I could see him being past Maxie after that 60 game.

Yeah, I had it. It was like this once he started getting 60 and 40 and all that. Yeah, I had him in Maxie. Once he started getting 60 and 40 and all that. I had him in Maxie, but he pulled away from Maxie. Yeah. Like, yeah, like it was him and Maxie, but you can't deny 60 is 60. And like as much as people praise the people on the opposing team or the visiting team for getting 50. Jordan had 45 in the 45.

Kobe had 50. Kobe had 50, 60 points. We got to give that man praise for having 61 points whether he had a Nick Juno for more than that because we give the praise to other niggas that come through the garden and get 60.

I added him and Maxie, but he kind of passed Maxie, and I will say to me, right now, currently, he's the best point guard on the East Coast at the current moment. You right

about that, Killer. I didn't mean to cut you off. You right about that, Killer. I didn't mean to cut you off. You right about that because the nigga Jeremy Lynn had 30 on Kobe and nigga got an ice cream. So, if Jerry can come back

and get double that at the Garden, where's his ice cream at? Ben and Jerry, where my boy ice cream at, man? Yeah, what he's doing should not go unrecognized, should not be swept under the rug. We got to realize the Knicks was injury-plagued throughout the season. And for him, since this All-Star break,

put up the numbers that he's been putting up, it's been nothing sort of amazing to watch. Even to get the Knicks to the second seed. The Knicks went at the last time we looked at the standings and seen Knicks at the number two seed. And it was good

to see. When I looked at the standings today, I said damn, New York finished number two, 51 season. It's definitely incredible to watch. I'm just of the mindset, I'm not going to let these niggas gasp. I can't do it to myself. I want to stay patient and watch.

Yeah, probably the last time they was number two, they probably either lost to Miami or lost to San Antonio. That's how long ago that that's been a case okay and then i got asked so the sixers have unveiled alan iverson's new statue and a lot of people are actually upset about it there's a lot of jokes about it a lot of things being said so i want to ask you guys's opinion on the statue and want to know how you guys feel after seeing it they better not have mess a statue up what are people saying about it start basically yeah they're saying it's not a statue it's a trophy but i want to get you guys as, you know, like... Murder story murder, they say in the small.

Yeah. AI, my man. It's going to be hard to do this take pause, but they can't mess AI's statue up. If there's anybody's statue they can't mess up is AI, because when you're doing Kobe and all those people, they're so beloved, but they're so tall. So when it comes to Kobe, I mean, AI, he's six feet, six feet, six one.

And if they don't get it right, it look like every nigga from the hood. You get what I'm saying? So they got to get that right. And I don't know if there's ever been a statue do-over. But by this picture, they need to do a statue do-over. They need to really probably let AI get a wax figure, pause from one of those hollywood wax figures and make sure he loved this statue before they do that next time because he should have been able to check that and be like nah

that's not the one i want like kobe before he before he died he picked the statue as one he wanted and his wife said this is the one that he wanted i know ai wouldn't have approved of no statue that's shorter than he is that's that just don't make no sense and who said it was a trophy who said that you know twitter everybody online yeah people were really pissed off about it i've seen everything um look what i have to say about it is this ai knew what's out the statue was going to be because what it is is that a lot of people i've seen the process leading up before the statue reveal a lot of people just seen the statue reveal and it's not just ai it's maurice cheeks it's like four other players with statues

and they're lined up outside the stadium. The problem is that nobody of this generation cares about the other sixes that have statues. They're not Googling Maurice Cheeks and everybody else. So when they get to Allen Alvarez, the niggas like, it's statue time, and you see a statue of Mace. I ain't going to lie. We do have trophies.

We won trophies ten times bigger than the statue. We don't want ten feet trophies. So what it is is that that's how the Sixers do their statues because everybody seen A.I.'s and was like, that's fucked up. But all the other statues are that size as well.

But I know what niggas gonna say. Fuck them other niggas. Yeah, it looks like the MVP trophy. It look like MVP trophy. How you gonna make AI that small? Of course. You can't. What the Sixers

will have to do is, my opinion is, do a statuary over everybody because everybody should have small. Like I said, people are just recognizing because of the, not only the great basketball player that AI was, the cultural impact that he had on people my age, younger or older, outside of basketball as well.

So when you see that, you'll be like, yo, why they playing AI? Everybody, and listen, y'all, everybody should, it's like that. It's five other players with trophies, four other players with trophies who's that size. But I get it. If you're my age, a little younger, a little older, you had the opportunity to see AI play in real time and the cultural

impact that he had. You don't want to hear that. I don't care what Maurice Chief's trophy looked like. Statue looked like. I would have did the trophy like like. I would have did the trophy like this, or I would have did the trophy with him stepping over Tyrone Lue with him on the floor. That would have been a crazy statue.

Yeah. I don't think it's more about my opinion as with stats pertaining to the people's mad. I don't think people are mad at the design. I think people are mad at the design. I think people are mad at the size pores. They're not mad at whatever the design is. They more mad. I seen a nigga online say,

hey, I could take that shit up and throw it in his book bag. So when you think of statues, you think of larger than light shit. Yeah, nigga, when you go to DC, you see Abraham Lincoln sitting in. Yeah, nigga. When you go to D.C., you see Abraham Lincoln sitting in the chair, nigga.

We need a statue to be crazy. You don't want no small statue. Yeah, niggas go inside the Statue of Liberty. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I get it. Then the same thing, like, the lake is

a statue bigger than, like, Kobe and Magic. Yeah, yeah. They're big statues. They're big statues. So I think that Philadelphia, and I know they don't want to show favoritism. AI joint, like, come on, man. Yeah.

I don't think it's the design. They're mad at the size, and I understand. What's the name of the owner again? Don't he be with Meek Mill and them, man? Come on, man. Meek, talk to your man. Get that statue right, man. Hey, y'all seem very appreciative.

He was crying. He was crying. He was humble. He was super excited about it. Yeah, you know what it's like. It's just like if somebody gave you something, you ain't going to say it. It's for me to say it. And vice versa.

I got to act like I'm happy. Yo, word. Word. It's for you to be like, come on, man. You know murder is on the street too. Killin' need is on the street. You need Cam runs way, man. Yeah.

Yeah, even if you got to put it in your man's ear. Don't say something about that. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. Meek, no harm, no foul. Talk to your man. Tell him to get this statue right. Y'all are not wrong. In the comments below,

let us know what you guys think about AI's statue. But that is all the time that we have for today. Thanks for watching. And as always, it is what it is.
