along with your hosts, Mace and Cam.
Murder, what up, man?
Killer was good, man.
Did you see the game?
Yeah, of course I seen the game, man.
I'm mad I wasn't there.
I'm pissed off about it.
Let me fix this.
I know it's a glare that's better
nick on the gear let me fix that sorry about that yeah man i'm sorry i'm apologized to the fans in
cleveland everybody who thought i was coming had a little setback but i do apologize but it was
sensational man it's a great weekend of women's basketball man yeah it was a very, very great week of basketball. Some hating going on, but we're going to get into it.
I sensed a lot of hating.
I ain't going to lie.
I didn't call it all hating, but, yeah, there definitely was some hating going on.
Let's get into it then, man.
Yeah.
Definitely want to know your thoughts on that.
But first and foremost, we're just going to start with the game overall so South Carolina defeated Iowa 87-75 what did you guys
think of the game and what did you think would have been a better story Kaitlyn Clark winning
the national championship or South Carolina remaining undefeated that's a good one that's a good one that's a really good one i think as them as south carolina
going undefeated is a great story you know to me it seemed like it's the beginning of a dynasty
down there in south carolina shout out to don staley and that whole team and even the freshmen. Her freshmen are phenomenal.
It gave me the feeling like they were actually able to do something that the Fab Five was supposed to do.
So, I mean, there's a lot to take from this game.
And I don't want to be too long-winded because I want to come back with some more points.
But just looking at the
game and looking at what Kaitlyn Clark was able to do, she got a regular 30. But if you was asking
me what would have been a better story, it probably would have been a crazier story for
everything else that she was doing historically this year to leave out with a championship.
was doing historically this year to leave out with a championship but i mean i didn't expect her to beat all of them by herself but i did i don't know if that makes sense you know like i
wouldn't have put it past that if she was able to pull it off pause it wouldn't have been it
wouldn't have been a surprise to me a better story for white people is caitlin clark a better story for black people
is dan staley pardon me don staley don staley pardon me it's a better story for black people
look i i cheered for um pardon me i cheered for iowa all the way until last night.
I wanted to see Caitlin Clark do everything.
It was amazing.
I was rooting for her because I like watching greatness.
So I rooted for Caitlin Clark until last night because I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm going to be straight up honest.
I said, enough's enough.
This white girl can't run through the bracket like this.
Now it's just getting ridiculous at this point.
Just me, personally, as a former black athlete.
And no disrespect, whatever.
As a former black athlete, the buck had to stop last night.
I ain't going to hold you, my nigga. I was was sitting there like I rooted for this girl
from the beginning of the season
middle of the season
end of the season
the beginning of the tournament
and then when she made it to the championship
I said
nah cause it's black on white crime
white on black crime
however you wanna put it
see Huggins, Page
and Connecticut
that was white on white crime
so I'm like if I'micut that was white on white crime yeah i'm like if i'm gonna
pick a white on white crime situation i'm going with caitlin i like caitlin attitude but it's
sort of like when you watch family feud you even if you don't know the black family you root for
them even if they say something stupid you just go if you black you go for the black family. If you look at this game, the
starting lineups,
there's four black girls on South
Carolina and one white girl.
And on Iowa,
it's four white girls and one black
girl. Let's get
it. Let's get it.
The difference in the game, honestly
though, is that the depth
that you see the depth that South Carolina had, man.
It's just they played nine players a lot of minutes, too.
The lowest person, one person didn't play.
The other four people off the bench, lowest 14 minutes, 18 minutes,
significant amount of minutes, just putting pressure.
And they outscored them 37 to 0.
That matters.
That matters when you got that kind of depth.
And Dawn Staley really was like she got two starting fives.
She trusts everybody at any given moment.
So it goes to speak to the Delta, South Carolina.
But to answer the question, Stat, it depends on who you're asking
because as a black man, I'm going to go with the black story.
As a white person, this is what I will say.
America.
America.
America, if you wasn't around for Larry Bird, younger American,
this is your Larry Bird.
Dirk Nowitzki don't count. The Joker Bird. Dirk Nowinski don't count.
The Joker don't count.
Luka don't count.
You have a homegrown American white athlete
that's a superstar.
It's been a lot of white athletes since Larry Bird,
but none of them have been American.
Dirk Nowinski, it don't matter who it is.
They wasn't American.
And America been starving for a superstar white athlete for years and to be honest with you i haven't seen anything like
it since larry bird so um without all the larry bird killer hold on real quick ma i'm gonna get
back to that because i want to put my disclaimer real quick i don't mean them i don't want this
to sound racial what I'm saying,
or like I'm discriminating.
I've been rooting for Caitlin Clark, but us as black people know the truth.
What's on the inside.
Pause.
You're not going to go against the blacks.
Like if you looked at that stadium, it was literally black against white.
It was black people over here and It was black people over here, and it was white people over here.
It almost reminded me, and I know Snap probably didn't see it.
She's a little too young.
A Harlem Nights murder when the black nigga went to fight at Harlem Nights,
and the white people jumped up when the white nigga did something,
and the black people jumped up when the black nigga did something.
It was that type of vibe, man.
So I'm just being honest, but Caitlyn Clark's amazing talent.
Not only that, she lived up to the hype.
There's been a lot of pressure on this girl.
I'm not going to sit here and say from the beginning of the season,
even though it has, but midway during the season,
you got to beat that.
She's, what, 100 points away from breaking this record.
Oh, you're 10 assists from breaking that record.
Oh, you can lead the school NCAA in scoring completely.
Oh, you may lead the NCAA turning in points completely.
It's a lot for her to carry, and she lived up to every single moment.
Like I said, there wasn't much more she could do.
You go out on your shield scoring 30 to be totally honest
with you and no disrespect to the rest
of our team, but how to get here is
crazy. How to get here with
that team is crazy, man. So salute
to Kaitlyn Clark and
the rest of the team in Iowa. But yeah,
Murda, let's talk about it.
Who's the white superstar since
Larry Bird?
American.
That's what I'm thinking because a lot of times you look at something
and then when you do the background, you're like,
they're not from America, you know?
Yeah, you think about it.
That's what I'm saying.
When you sit here and really think about it basketball-wise,
I'm not going to put baseball in anything else.
I'm talking about basketball.
Basketball-wise, I'm not going to put baseball in anything else.
I'm talking about basketball.
And a white American superstar has not been here to this height or potential as Larry Bird if you really sit there and do the math.
And I ain't really even ready to argue about it.
I would like for you to tell me somebody who's even closer.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I thought about this, but not even with Caitlin Clark.
Just over the
years, how much America
would love a white
superstar that is from America.
It would go
crazy, bro.
If niggas had an Ant-Man,
a Trey Young,
who else?
John Morant,
a Luka,
a SGA, somebody said a john moran uh a luca uh sga uh uh a joker yeah you know how much
their success would be heightened because they're from american white
even i named black players too yeah i'm just saying any of them super you know on the on the
rise superstars i'm saying all stars, with potential superstar assets if they're not already a superstar,
do you know exactly how much more their celebrity would be celebrated
being that they're from America?
And not only that, Caitlyn Clark's from middle America.
She's from M&M land.
So when you're from middle America, they love you
because middle America feels like that's the last
of America when it comes to white people.
Yeah, she's actually
from that
lifestyle.
I think
when it was all said and done,
Don Staley was looking at it
week after week and said,
we're going to put an end to this.
That would have been my whole theme of what I would have been saying
in the locker room.
Tonight, that ends.
It ends with us.
Yeah.
Maybe they wasn't bold enough or forward enough or aggressive enough
to get this done, but tonight we're going to stop all that Kalen Clark stuff.
Yeah, and then – Sorry, Mike. That's what they went out to do.
I mean, but she had a gang load of points, man. When you think about it, for her to finish with
39-51 for a career, that's right there at 4,000 points. That means she's been killing all her years.
It's not like it just started this year.
So that's a hell of a career to have down there in Iowa.
And I think Dawn Staley echoed that when she kept saying she lifted the sport.
But then she started saying she's going to lift the WNBA up.
So I don't know.
We're going to have to get into that a little later.
Yeah, man.
Big shout out to Kaitlyn.
But, yeah, look, when you're coaching, you don't want to look ahead of teams
and you don't want to say we're going to beat them, beat them.
But I agree.
That was circled on the calendar.
But not only that that what you got to
realize is this was a revenge game for south carolina because last year because caitlin sent
them home last year in the semifinals so don staley this wasn't just about south carolina
against iowa this was about don staley don pardon. I don't know why I keep this pronoun in my name. Dawn Staley
against Kaitlyn Clark and her coach
as well because she's like, yeah, I got
a whole new group of bitches, pardon my
language, whole new group of females
and we ready to get crazy.
It was good. A whole new staff.
It was even dope to see the girl
I'm so mad I can't think of her name, who
graduated from South carolina last year
who was hosting on espn during the game um with the rest of the girls but she was the number one
pick i believe last year out of south carolina and even before she started doing an interview
um post game to see her tears to see her joy to see her emotion because it was like good i wasn't a part
of it but i'm here for more my young girls got y'all yeah i'm with all that and then uh ironically
they're probably going to be teammates so man i can't think of the girl's name but you know that
she plays for the team elliot boston yeah because she's on the indiana fever and which is right
first pick for the wNBA draft, yeah.
Right, exactly.
I was going to say how ironic is that.
She going to be friends with Kayla next year.
Right.
But also, you know, while we're still on this,
I watched a lot of commentary over the weekend
because it wasn't just last night.
Even Friday's night game where UConn was a thriller,
it was a great game.
You know, South Carolina got North Carolina State
out of here fairly easily.
But I was watching Diana Taurasi,
and they was talking about, you know,
they're all UConn players that was kind of talking.
And when they beat UConn, they was giving Kaitlin mad praise
and everything else.
And, you know, he's a little disappointed that UConn lost.
But they asked, I remember Scott Van Pelt said,
is there any word that you want to use Diana Taurasi, that is? And I don't know if our fans to use, Diana Taurasi, that is?
And I don't know if our fans are familiar with Diana Taurasi,
but she's a monster.
She went to UConn and got busy and gets busy in the WNBA.
When they asked them,
what do you have for the young girls coming into the WNBA?
She looked at the camera and said, reality.
And she said, there's levels to this.
She said, I'm not saying Caitlyn's game
or anybody else's game won't translate in the WNBA,
but it's a course.
It doesn't happen that easily.
In our exact words, it's levels to this.
So he said reality.
And the great thing about this is that
we don't even have to wait that long.
The WNBA season is probably like- Yeah, this is like two, three even have to wait that long the wmba this is like two three months
yeah exactly so we're gonna see about all that early but as far as what you said murder to make
my last point is that when dawn said that caitlin's gonna lift the wmba yeah she said that the WNBA more. Yeah, she's looking at that.
I've seen it.
She's 100% right because what's going on
is this.
This girl is getting
NBA
postseason
views.
She's getting playoff views
on a women's college game
which has never happened before.
So therefore,
now television is looking like,
oh, she could draw
this many millions? She could draw this many millions?
She could draw this many millions?
And I don't know exactly
how the contracts work
in the WNBA. Maybe I'll do some due diligence
on it this week. But if she's
dictating how much the WNBA
army
can make
on television games because she's
going to be playing.
I don't know.
I don't know.
We got to figure out the budget for me because if I'm Caitlyn,
the big three is waiting for me.
Yeah, $5 million.
$5 million to go play for Ice Cube.
Yeah, five M&Ms is waiting for me.
So why would I sit here and take $100,000?
I know I got my endorsements where I'm going to make $5 million anyway, but 5 plus 5 equals
10. So I don't
understand how this
is going to work moving forward. And the reason
Don Stanley
said that is because next
year, the WNBA's contract
is up with these TV deals
and they have to renegotiate.
And if you got Caitlin Clark in the WNBA,
that's a big deal
because odds are going to be on her.
I don't know how her, her staff,
her parents, whoever, her agent
runs her business,
but this is the time to start
figuring out the cheat code.
I don't know how it's going to work
because I don't have to be here.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I think Ice Cube
will need security
if he get on the big three.
Because he'll be messing up a lot of money.
He'll be messing up a lot of money
without going to the big three.
Can you imagine the day that she signed with the big three?
What it'll be like for television?
Because they're all banking on her
to show up with the
number one pick you know so
if she doesn't show up
that could be a new wrinkle
in the whole system
exactly what you're saying so
this is
going to be really interesting
and this is the time
where she needs
definitely a good agent.
She needs a good agent.
She might need Michael Jordan agents.
She needs somebody.
Where's Rich Paul at, man?
Rich Paul needs to be snatching up, man.
Yeah, I'm surprised he's not on it.
Yeah, Rich Paul.
You know, he got Juju rocking, so I got to talk to him about it.
Yeah, Juju Watkins and Kaylin, but I feel you.
She could be.
She could be.
She could be.
Let me not put my foot in my mouth.
I'm about to say, Juju Watkins got another three years.
She was actually second leading the women's in scoring this year
gino ariyama told her get out of here now he said we don't need you around here fucking
of you con shit every year get on out of here he told her to leave early
so yeah she's not caitlin now but she definitely has potential
so also adding to this conversation because this does lead to deeper conversations right so
Caitlin Clark will be leaving college without a title do you guys believe she needed one to
really become considered the goat of college basketball absolutely not she had 3,000 and
she had 3,951 points I mean and she's always shown up on the grand stage.
This is what one of the things that I really like about her is that she's never really not showed up.
You know how with most players that have a storybook career, they end up going out on one of those games where they didn't perform as well.
they end up going out on one of those games where they didn't perform as well.
She even ended with 30 points against a super stacked South Carolina team.
I mean, and she was wearing my number, Stat.
What you want me to say?
Greatness comes from that number.
Me, Clyde Drexler, Caitlin Clark, and the list goes on.
I can't even,
I'm not even going to get into this with Cam.
I see him turning his face.
Jim Jackson,
Michael Redd,
you know,
and the list,
Mace,
and the list goes on.
I was expecting it in my number.
I may have left something in the number,
you know,
pause. Bunch of niggas who ain't winning nothing. Everybody you name. I may have left something in the number, you know? Pause.
Bunch of niggas who ain't winning nothing.
Everybody names.
All fell short.
That's true, too.
All niggas got right there.
They got right there.
You right, too. Cly right there. You right too.
Clyde won, he cheated.
Yeah, Drexler won, but Jim Jackson, Michael Redd.
Clyde didn't get his in Portland though.
He cheated and went man down to Houston for a minute.
Look to me, I agree, man.
I ain't counting no championship to make her to go.
She didn't have the weapons on her team. Look, I'm not I agree, man. I ain't counting no championship to make her to go. She didn't have the weapons on her team.
Look.
Yeah.
Look, I'm not gasping, man.
I do not know how she got to the championship, man.
I really don't know.
I really don't know how I did that.
And Mace makes a great point.
She didn't shy away from the moment, man.
Didn't shy away.
No.
It's a lot of time.
And Killer, it was a lot of niggas who came pause
through the Division I for her to even pass niggas on the guy's side.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
Look, like I said, stepping up to the plate when it matters, matters, man.
You know, I was watching some clips over the weekend
and LeBron was talking about
how it was his fault
against
the Dallas Mavericks series in the
championship because he
couldn't get it done. And he was having
four points in the fourth, two points in the fourth,
eight in the fourth. And he took accountability.
He sure did. But fourth quarter in the fourth two points in the fourth eighth in the fourth and he took accountability he sure did but fourth quarter in the championship elimination games or when you got niggas back
because you don't go nowhere she never went anywhere even when she passed the ball it was
more it was the right thing to do but it was almost the right thing to do on the second note
because you see somebody open, you pass the ball,
but you got to think when you're in this mindset,
when you're on your best play on the team and you know your personnel,
you're like, okay, she's open, but I got a one-on-one.
Damn, here come the double team.
Let me do the right basketball play and pass it.
And she was doing that because at the end of the day,
you can't beat double and triple teams all game it's just
not going to happen it's not so um to answer the question nah she don't need no championship to be
the goat that girl the goat man i got a goat she did it with all the pressure on her man yeah and
her supporting cast was not i, that was a miracle.
Everything she was doing was miraculous with that team.
Yes.
See, for her, obviously at the end of the game,
she was super, super emotional because a lot of the WNBA players
who got multiple college championships,
they feel like she does need it to solidify her status.
So I could see that kind of being like like i wonder if the it was all the connecticut players yeah it was yeah
that's what i was telling you they were saying on that play i don't know why you know gino didn't
come back and and challenge it but that's that's what all that is about. They wanted
UConn to win.
Well, listen, even if, and just
so the viewers know what we're talking about,
we're referring to the game on Friday
when Iowa was playing
UConn, and they called an off-the-ball
foul on
UConn with probably about
four seconds left, something like that.
But the thing about it is Iowa's up one.
Kaitlin Clark gets fouled with three seconds left.
After that call, I think that was a terrible call.
After that call, she goes to the foul line, makes the first one,
misses the second one with three seconds, a little over three seconds,
and UConn doesn't get the rebound.
You get the rebound, call timeout, you have another chance.
So that was UConn's fault.
I'm feeling them on the call, but if you don't secure the defensive rebound,
it wasn't meant for you.
Yeah.
The moment was too big for them.
Pause.
That's what it was.
Heard you there. Okay. And then Cam spoke about a little bit earlier,
but Diana Taurasi said reality is coming to the players entering the draft.
I'm just curious. How do you guys feel like the college players?
Cause I feel like the college players are independent stars, which is why,
you know, we follow them more because they have a story.
They make themselves more marketable.
Do you guys think that people will follow these players to the WNBA or do you think it's going to be a struggle
curious how you guys think the future will be um first of all I'll say yeah for Caitlyn and
I think is a different I think is a different statement that she's making. When she says that reality is coming in the WNBA,
I think she's more so trying to downplay if Caitlyn's game is going to translate.
Even though people say that's not what they're saying,
it's kind of what she's insinuating.
She's trying to say, oh, she's going to be playing against grown women,
you know, women with their heads shaved, all of that,
a total tougher, different type of woman.
And to me, I wouldn't say that.
I don't think you could just say that, you know.
You can't say what everybody's process is going to be.
Some people come to the pros and get crazier.
There's times when guys and women were not as good in college and they got to the pro level and excelled.
So just like that's another reality.
And I hate when people try to make their situation or their transition somebody else's
transition. Everybody is different. And if anybody's different, Kaitlyn Clark is different.
I don't see her getting to the WNBA and shine away. And because she's going to be on a team that they got to let her go crazy. I think
it's an injustice if she doesn't go crazy, because that makes the league bigger if she's a sensation.
It's almost like when Wimby came to the league, they were putting things in play to make sure Wimby does well, because if he does well, the NBA future is secure.
If Kaitlyn Clark comes to Indiana and have a great first year,
even the monies are going to change for the WNBA.
And you can quote me on that.
If she come there and turn up, they're going to need all new salaries
because she's bringing
television viewers and i don't know whoever brought that to the league i'm not um i haven't
done my research on that but she's bringing another thing to the league
makes i just said that i don't know what you're listening to but i actually just said that.
I don't know what you're listening to,
but I actually just said that a little while ago when I said the TV bill is up.
Yeah, I just threw that in at the end of the transition.
Well, I don't know what you're listening to.
I threw that in there so you could speak.
That's how you normally...
That's normally how you hand the pass back off, Cam.
I don't pass.
I don't pass.
I don't know.
I know that.
If anybody knows you don't pass, it's me.
I'm not the guy you have to tell you don't pass.
I think I know that.
Oh, it's been funny.
I knew you. I passed that to Oh, it's been funny. I knew you. I gave you the – I passed that to you actually just now.
It's that.
You think I need to know that stat by now?
Hey, man.
Yeah, but, yeah, to go on top of Poe,
what Mace just said is that he's 100% right.
Things are going to get bigger.
And this is what I will say to answer your question
about Diana Taurasi and the rest of the females
that UConn now was hating.
Mace is right.
Everybody's transition is not the same.
Some people are slower.
Some people are faster.
Some people won't excel at all.
Some people excel quicker than others.
But what Caitlyn will have that these other females didn't have is the eyeballs on her.
Because women's college basketball, not saying it wasn't big, but she made that shit this
year the biggest ever pause.
So what you are going to have is eyeballs on you.
And like we said in the same segment earlier,
I don't think she shies away from moments.
I think she wants these type of moments.
I think she lives for these type of moments.
So no matter what, no matter what the transition is,
that has yet to be determined.
But I know one thing, the games will be televised.
I don't know ESPN2.
I don't know CBS, ABC, Fox, NBC. They will be televised. I don't know ESPN2. I don't know CBS, ABC, Fox, NBC. They will be on television.
Absolutely. So that's up to her. She has another big moment coming up this year because she's still
going to be being watched. And if she does well, like Mace just said with Wendy, it looks good for
the WNBA for the next however many seasons. He's 22 years old.
Yeah, and this is what they've wanted, Killer.
This is more so what I was getting at.
This is what the WNBA been trying to get for the longest,
trying to get people to watch the games.
So if you got somebody who brings at least a million more viewers,
you got to make sure they do well.
That's a part of their business model, to make sure that Caitlyn does well.
So I don't know what Taurasi is talking about.
I love Taurasi as a player, but that statement is like an old nigga
talking about young niggas rapping.
It's just not going to go over well.
Unless Murda, and I'm not saying that it is going to go over well. Unless murder, and I'm not saying that it is going to go over well
or not go over well, unless they all getting together.
This sounds like everybody.
This sounds like everybody was on the group line, on the group text.
This thing she killing.
Because her exact words was, you're not going to be out there
playing with 18-year-olds and 19-year 19 year olds i'm like yeah this is crazy so i think it's a group
text i think diana was the spokesperson i don't think it's just so i think they all together
waiting to do this girl dirty pause i hope that's not the case. But then the last question concerning this topic before we go to break.
So we saw All-Star game.
It was the Steph versus Sabrina three-point contest.
All-Star 2025.
They're looking into making Clay versus Kaitlyn Clark.
Is that a matchup that you guys would like to see?
No, because Kaitlyn might win it.
Right now, Kaitlyn might win it.'m not gonna lie to you instead what happened to the women's empowerment women are hating on women that's i
thought that was a black girl thing i didn't know that that um you know now the women do that um i
don't agree with that but i think i think they're just being tough on her.
Like, it's just like, look like.
But like she she's already super humble.
Like nobody's trying to, you know, people are just saying things.
I don't think it was with any hate or ill intentions at all.
No, that is where hate is.
You get the undertone was you getting too much attention.
That's what I picked up. You're getting you're getting too much attention. That's what I picked up.
You getting too much attention, you know?
Enough with this Caitlin Clark stuff.
I shoot the ball, too.
You know one of them attitudes, killer.
I shoot the ball, too.
Hey, man, listen.
You know how that shit go when you a senior and a freshman come in
and you don't even want to hear it.
Even if they supposed to be all American
or that he the best nigga recruited.
No, I don't want to hear all that, man.
Nigga got a problem with himself.
Yeah, nigga got to die for this spot.
Nigga want this spot.
Nigga going to have to die.
That's how it be, man.
When you're a little older and you think that you're
better or just as good as somebody, man.
But
the original question was, what's that?
Basically,
so All-Star 2025, they're looking
into the three-point game.
Yeah, that's what it was.
See,
that's what I'm trying to say.
That was good because it was steph
curry against uh sabrina which was great it was dope i think my personal opinion
sabrina may have something to say about who the best shooter is sabrina may be like yo
caitlin cool but i i shoot. I'm a sniper.
Like, nigga, I snipe
shit because she snipes
shit. And she snipes shit in the
WNBA. And she was sniping shit in
college. Let's not act like she wasn't nice in college.
I ain't going to say she was Caitlyn.
But listen, she grew up a little bit.
I think I wouldn't want to see
that before
her against Klay because, yeah, Mason's right.
What if Clay lose, fuck shit up?
You gotta deal with the woman talking crazy to us.
They already talking crazy.
Yeah, we be the three time chairman
or four time chairman, all that, it's over.
It's over.
See, Steph wasn't with all that.
Yeah.
But I'm not against it. If that's what what they're doing they got a lot of viewership and
notoriety then i'm with it but i just think that uh as far as shooters are concerned i think
sabrina gonna have something to say about this shooting shit i really do and then as far as the
actual matchup is clay who you would want to see versus Caitlyn,
or is there another player that comes to mind?
No, we don't need to see Klay shooting versus anybody right now.
Klay has got to get his name back, yo.
You got to get your name back, Klay.
And these over here are Klay Thompson fans.
You got to get your name back.
We don't need you
that oh you you already did what you did at golden state we do not need you to get in that
all-star weekend and be the first shooter that lose to a woman then we're set back
we're set back play we don't need you to set us back anymore.
Yeah, I'm still going with Sabrina.
Look, leave the niggas out of this, man.
Now Sabrina
will be Clay, flat out.
I don't even have to see it.
Sabrina will be Clay.
And see, that's sad.
Clay, we gotta say this.
Sometimes people are like, yo, I can't believe that say this sometimes people like yo i can't believe that
nigga may said that i can't believe you making me say this like that's the real problem y'all
putting us in a position to say this like we should never be talking like this please make it right
for real because sometimes people are like,
oh, them niggas is going crazy.
It's like, no.
We should never be in a position
where now we're talking about
can Caitlyn
beat Klay in a
shootout? That shouldn't be the case
right now.
But this is what happened. Niggas start
playing with you. They're going to keep
playing with you until you put your, put your, put,
put, put them in a place.
That's that. Okay. So we're going to go to break. When we return,
we're going to talk a little bit more college hoops,
but this time NC state's DJ Burns jr. Don't go anywhere.
She called this thing about toxic Junior, Don't Go Anywhere. Welcome back.
Now let's get into our underdog fantasy picks of the day. So tonight, UConn will play Purdue for the national championship.
Tonight, UConn will play Purdue for the national championship.
Underdog Fantasy has UConn's Tristan Newton at 15.5 points.
Do you have them higher or lower, Mace?
Higher.
Okay, Cam?
I'm going to go with Mace, say higher.
Okay, UConn's Cam Spencer is at 6.5 first half points. Do you have him higher or lower, Cam?
I think his name was Cam. Gotta go higher,
man. Yeah, he better
have higher pass, yeah.
Disrespect the name, man.
Yeah, Cam's gonna have more than six.
Okay, and then
Purdue's seven-foot Zach is at
14 rebounds and assists.
That's your boy, Mace.
Do you have him higher or lower, Mace?
I think he's going to be right there at 14, but I'm going to still go higher.
I'm going to still go higher.
Yep.
I'm going to go low.
I'm going to go low. I'm going to go low.
I think Edie is two seasons for him.
I ain't like him.
I was getting dunked on all last game.
You did all right.
Niggas was acting crazy.
You want him on Alabama dunking on the nigga and all that.
I'm going low.
Edie going to be too much for that man.
Okay.
Download the Underdog KC app and you can make your picks too.
So previously before the NC State game, in an interview,
DJ Burns Jr. was asked his comparison to produce Zach Eady.
He said, seven inch difference.
No ditty.
What do y'all think about him saying that?
And that being his response.
That was good.
It lets you know that they're watching us.
Also, I think he spoke his own demise when he did that.
Because he put that out there, it kind of showed up in the game
because he ended up looking
Paul was too big for him.
He said that before the game or after
the game?
That was before the game, I think.
Oh, no, I was just asking.
I wasn't sure.
Yeah.
I didn't mean to cut you off.
No, that was it
he said that so whenever
somebody saying yo the nigga's too
tall the nigga's too this
that already lets you know
that the nigga ain't really was prepared
it was already psychological
with him
look
you know what happens, you know, certain shit for a while becomes culture, not culture.
And some shit sticks and some shit leaves.
Pause.
I don't know.
No Diddy may be around in a few more months.
No, nigga's going to say no Diddy.
It's culture right now.
It's like, remember how I was doing this dance?
Whatever that was. It's culture right now. It's like, remember how I was doing this dance?
Whatever that was. What the nigga?
The Junebug or whatever the fuck that was.
Do it again, killer.
The Junebug, nigga was doing the Junebug
for about a year.
Was that on Spottum Gottem?
Was that Spottum Gottem?
Nah, remember the nigga who looked like Gilly?
He had the shit going on the Junebug
like three years ago. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Four remember the nigga who looked like Gilly? He had the shit going to Junebug like three years ago.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Four-head nigga, and everybody was doing it.
It might have been Spottam.
I don't know the song.
They played one song behind it the whole time.
And I even liked everyone.
That was a different one.
Spottam got him with that.
Spottam got him with a different dance, right, Stat?
I don't know which dances y'all was referring to.
You know what your fair share
stat I know you did it
I know you did it
I don't know what that is
this was just two years ago
Junebug dance
I do not recall
everybody did it it wasn't even an age dance
what was that
old people
the one I know is like the
that one but know is like the
That one, but that's not the same thing.
Junebug, everybody was doing it.
Yeah, that's why I told him to do it again.
He probably went back to the dance.
I'm telling you, Gilly made it hot, yo.
I'm telling you, Gilly made it hot.
Oh yeah, I know which way you're talking about.
Yeah, you right.
Now you know what I'm talking about.
How'd the dance go, Murda?
Murda, how the dance go?
I don't know how to do it right.
Niggas was, it wasn't even that much.
All he was doing was moving his arms like this.
It wasn't even a big deal.
Yeah, you right.
See, that's what I'm saying.
Nigga, Murda was a dancer now.
He only wants to show niggas his moves
before it's like, I'm asking him to get in the circle and break dance.
This nigga, nigga was a dancer, yo.
He wasn't the nigga that throw his arms over,
his legs over his arms and that.
And bust his split and then come back.
Yeah, nah, he wasn't one of them niggas,
but he know how to get the crowd.
Anyway,
motherfucking,
you made me forget the question thing,
looking for the June bug. I'm pissed right now.
Y'all don't know, Stat don't know the June bug.
What's the question, Stat?
Basically, yes.
Yo, listen,
it's culture for a little minute, man.
And when it's culture,
motherfucker, when it's culture,
I found this nigga too.
I'm going to get that song.
When it's culture, it goes on for a little while.
As far as what Mason just said,
him saying it before the game,
first of all, pause.
He did the right thing saying pause.
He wants to say pause.
That was correct.
Secondly, look, man,
if he said that before the game,
I don't like it. But to be
honest with you, he may have been
the most entertaining player
on Saturday
night out of both
games. And I don't just mean with the
ball, pause. Without the ball, too,
he moves, he said, pick. He was
very interesting pause to watch.
Left-handed,
low post game.
And you could tell he wasn't really in basketball shape.
He like in some football shape.
I heard the NFL and all that is looking at this nigga too.
Very agile, very soft touch around the basket.
If he's not a senior, I would be looking forward to see him play next year.
But they're going to definitely have to find somebody bigger.
Not saying that everybody's going to be 7'2", but he looks like a great power forward and not a center, man.
Very agile.
I like the way that guy plays, man.
Definitely.
Did he remind you of Big Baby?
Pause.
I think he was a little more skilled than Big Baby.
Like, you know, I don't know because he was left-handed.
You know them left-handed niggas be looking?
Yeah.
He'd be looking cool with them niggas.
You know what I'm saying?
So, I'm not sure, baby.
This shit's that.
Y'all remember this?
Oh. Isn't that Spot that is bottom got him no
it is bottom got him a little bit yeah but that's the nigga
like go ahead huh yeah i know what you're talking about
i bet you won't that's what i what you're talking about. I bet you won't.
That's what I thought you were talking about.
Name is Junebug, man.
It's called the Junebug Tennis.
You don't even know the dances of your times.
The way y'all said it, same way I talked to you.
You don't tell us that.
You're frowning upon us.
You're frowning upon us because we don't know spongebob now we don't know nothing
you didn't say that obviously y'all are hip but the way it was explained
confused me but i'm caught up you know we're all caught up and so is the audience now
okay so moving along gotta discuss brony James. So we did previously talk about him declaring that he would be transferring,
but he also will be declaring for the NBA draft this year
while also still, you know, keeping his transfer eligibility.
He will work out for and visit NBA teams
and make a draft decision based on evaluation.
How do you guys feel about him even entering the draft
and the decision that he has made?
I would love to talk to a few guys that work in the NBA
that are like away or outside of the camp that he's a part of
so I could get more of a fair assessment
from their vantage point because from, like Cam says, the eyeball test,
I mean, he's going to make the league definitely because his dad has said
in 2022 that wherever Bronny goes, that's where he will be at.
So I think there's some validity to that. And I think
anybody's looking into this offseason has got to be considering that. If we get LeBron,
we draft his son, not only do we get LeBron, but we get a storybook ending. You know what I'm
saying? No matter where he played at, this will be one of
those places that have a lot of fanfare. It raises the ticket sales. It's so much money and so much
Paul's eye candy with just a dad being able to play with his son. It's something that's never
been done. I don't think I've ever seen that. So I know there's people that have played
with their brothers. There's people that play with their cousins, boss, but we've never seen
this. So whatever franchise get to host this event, because it'll be an event every day,
because it almost will be like he's playing, but he's coaching his son. He's almost there
rooting his son on. I mean, the pitches alone will be worth a lot of
money. So I think him going in the portal is just something to say realistically. But I think him
going to the NBA is a foregone conclusion because his draft stock can't get any lower than what it
is right now.
But I think he could do well in the NBA.
I don't put that past him as well.
I'm just giving the facts about where we are today.
It's been done not in basketball,
in baseball. Ken Griffey Jr. and
Eshwaba played together
before, but not in basketball. but it has happened in baseball before.
Look, these are some smart businessmen manipulating the whole system.
When I say that, I'm talking about whether it's LeBron James,
Bronny James, Rich Paul, Maverick, Savannah,
his little brother, whoever else we don't know, UTA.
I don't fucking know.
But they manipulate the system to the highest level.
And I don't knock that.
This nigga's entering the draft while still staying in the portal.
knock that. This nigga's entering the draft while still staying
in the portal.
So,
if the draft
don't go right,
and the right school need
a good guard still at this point
in the year, or whatever point in the year they get to,
you have the option
to say,
oh, nah, nah,
Ohio State, they cleared out at Point Garden's good, or Michigan cleared out, or, nah, Ohio State,
it cleared out at Point Garden's good,
or Michigan cleared out, or North Carolina,
or whatever.
Yeah.
You still have that option
while still having the option to go to NBA.
See, and, you know, every time we talk about certain shit,
I always hate to be like, you know,
because I used to be that 19-year-old, 20-year-old nigga and be like, yo, I don't want to hear all that shit,
what niggas used to be doing.
But sometimes you got to hear some of this shit.
I understand where it's coming from.
You know what I'm saying?
Because you have to go through that.
That ain't really our problem, my nigga.
So with that disclaimer, what I'm saying is when I played in the 90s,
once you applied to be in the NBA draft, you couldn't go back to college.
That would have changed a few years ago.
I don't know.
Maybe 10 years ago now.
I don't know how many years ago it was.
But to the point where even if you get elected to go to the NBA draft
and you don't like it, you can go back to school now.
Yeah, Ricky Rubio.
Yeah, so Ricky Rubio went back overseas,
but now you have the option to go back to school,
and it's even better because you're probably making NIL money anyway.
So it ain't like you're not saying you ain't going to make some M's,
but you're like, I'm making enough to eat anyway.
I'm not talking about just Bronny.
I'm just talking about the system.
Yeah.
The system is wild to where, back to Bron and his family and Bronny,
the way they manipulated to the highest level is amazing
because a lot of people will say,
LeBron, and some of the stuff I probably wouldn't have done LeBron did is amazing because a lot of people will say,
LeBron, and some of the stuff I probably wouldn't have done,
LeBron didn't either as a player,
but I understand as a businessman, you know,
LeBron sits there, goes to Miami,
delivers two championships.
See Kyrie is doing good.
He said, listen, let me go back to Cleveland,
get this championship, I promise them. In the said listen let me go back to Cleveland get this championship I promise them in the meantime
let me GM this shit too
I don't want Andrew Wiggins give me
the Kevin Love nigga that nigga yeah
the Kevin Love nigga I need him with me
so now he's GMing
playing calling the shots
now the owner gotta kiss
his ass cause remember LeBron
didn't leave on good terms with the owner so now LeBron got everything in the shots. Now the owner got to kiss his ass because remember LeBron didn't leave on good terms with the
owner. So now LeBron got
everything in the palm of his hands because the owner like
that's a miracle this nigga even came back because I told
you this nigga kick rocks basically when he left
the first time. Delivers the championship, goes
to LA, gets to LA, opens
up a successful
sports agency with his right hand man,
opens up a successful production
company with his left-hand man,
and they're getting mad money all in the family,
and now they're manipulating the NBA situation
with his son.
Look.
Yeah.
I asked Mace, how do you know Spanish?
Boss, the nigga said he had the answers
on his fingertips.
I know what you think.
I'm mad at that.
I'm mad I didn't think of it.
Yeah. on his fingertips. I know what you think. I'm mad at that. I'm mad I didn't think of it. Yeah, and now his wife,
not that she needs it at all,
I mean, obviously,
but now she's going to do the podcast
and he's doing the podcast,
so they're going to also control the narrative.
Yeah, exactly.
You cannot control this any better than LeBron James.
Say what you want as a basketball player.
He's not Jordan, whatever you want to say.
Nobody has a better business resume.
Maybe Magic Johnson, but after LeBron got the lifetime deal with Nike,
and they threw him over the – we don't even know what that deal is.
Nick just said lifetime deal.
We don't even know.
I think this nigga business acumen is amazing.
And it is.
Okay.
So the Sixers sat out Joel Embiid for injury management on his left knee.
The Sixers still won 133 to 126 in
double overtime tyrese max he dropped 52 points but just in general is mb's injuries becoming
more of a concern for you or do you guys think the sixers can hold it on their own that's a good question i think both i think both answers are right not
one or the other i think both are answers are right when it comes to his health his health is
definitely of concern um but you know some people would say well it was their first time they're
playing a back-to-back game since he's been back, and we're not ready to put that kind of rigorous thing
on his body.
But when you think about it, Paul, he shouldn't be out there
if he's not ready to play.
And that's what I was speaking to earlier,
that you're running the risk of hurting him again,
and I don't think that's really worth it with the team that they have.
It would be better
if they let all of them ball out this year and then just come back next year. Their future will
be stronger because of that. But if everybody's balling and you throw Joel Embiid back in there,
then it's like you're bringing the ball back out of their hands again. So that's the first thing. So I think both of those answers
are true, that they can ball out without him. And it's also definitely imperative that they
pay close attention to what they're doing with his health. Because if he get any way hurt in
the least bit, you run the risk of running another injured Joel Embiid all of next season,
or at least for a bulk of that season,
and then you ran the risk of losing two years that you could have won a championship
or at least got to the finals?
Yeah, sit them to go.
If he hurts, sit him out.
If you want to play, let him play.
I'm going to keep it real.
I'm of the mindset of Mace is that if this was any other year,
I would have the same exact mindset that Mace has.
He's a franchise player.
You don't need him hurting the whole next season.
You're running the risk of that all of those things are correct
but how many seasons we giving
this like god damn
how many years
is the process
it's like nine
years bro
it's like eight nine years ago
it started with Markel false yeah yeah like
bro we're not gonna sit here and say well we're running the risk well run the risk man i'm tired
of this nigga with the process and yo give him one more yo no run the risk bro run the risk my
nigga we gotta run it we gotta run it we. We can't. So we gotta wait all
summer, then a whole nother 82
games for you to say
maybe this might happen again.
Run the risk
for me, but you, listen,
you are talking
absolute
general manager's mindset,
a player looking out for
a coach, a GM president looking out for the organization,
doing what's in the best bet of the organization.
That's 100% correct.
I'm talking from a Philadelphia fan point of view.
Fuck all that.
Run the risk.
I don't got time, yo.
I don't got time fucking with these niggas.
Next year, he be talking about his contract almost up
and he need more money
and we ain't seen the process
yet man
does anybody know when the
process ends
that's the question
that's the big question
they say trust the process
when does the process end
when can we collect?
Exactly.
This is a, this, I'm sick of niggas that be like,
yo, the joy is in the process.
Where is the finished result?
Yeah.
Come on, my nigga.
I'm gonna come on my nigga for Dalmori on this.
Yeah, and I'm gonna keep it a hundred murders,
but you gotta realize is this, and it'm going to keep it 100 murder, but you got to realize is this,
and it may sound funny and it may laugh
and it's not really a joke.
The process started, stat
was 13, B.
Yeah, stat.
That's what I'm saying, man. Like, yo, stat
was probably 12 when the process
started, bro.
Yo, nah, risk running, bro. Run and get out
there, bro.
Double dutch still when the process started.
Stat just got to middle school when the process started.
Yo, running out into the pools, man.
You had a lunchbox, Stat.
You had a lunchbox when the process started.
You had a SpongeBob joint.
You see what I'm saying, man?
Nah, that nigga got a running murder.
Yeah, you're right.
Nah, we can't keep letting it talk about we're running the risk.
I dig it.
Trust me, I dig it.
But, yo, come on, man.
Come on, I dig it.
And they have money back on the process.
That's what we need to know.
They have money back guarantee.
That's when my man says city shit come in.
I don't want to make sense.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't feel like making sense right in. I don't want to make sense. Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't feel like making sense right now, Mace.
Run it.
I would love to hear what Sin City got to say about this.
Sin, if you're watching, let us know what you think about this.
Sin ain't going to ask nothing about this related.
All he's going to talk about is why we don't talk more about the Knicks.
Now, real quick, Stan, let me ask Mace a couple things.
Look, look at Nick in the background.
And Nick in the background talking about we don't talk enough about the Knicks.
All right, Nick, you too.
You and Sinkers.
Niggas got mad gripes with us like we don't know the Knicks history.
Mace, let me ask you.
I'll ask you the question.
I told niggas,
and I don't know how you feel about
Knicks, Nick. You can shake your head
and pause, yes or no, whatever.
But niggas act like
that the NBA don't want the Knicks to have
a good team. It's the fucking
method, B. Why wouldn't they want them to have a good
team? So Sin wants to know, Murder,
why haven't the Knicks had a number one pick since 1985 Patrick Ewing?
And is that fair?
That's a good question.
You went deep on pause, yo.
Sin, that makes sense.
I didn't expect us to be good with no number one picks?
That's what Sin is saying right there.
Yeah, yeah, Sin in the house like this, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got a point, Sin.
Because they definitely did something funny by giving us the third pick
when it came to Ja Morant and Zion.
That's when I knew it was rigged. I'm going to tell you the truth. For me, that's when I That's when I knew it was rigged.
I'm going to tell you the truth.
For me, that's when I checked out.
I knew it was rigged.
They don't want us to win.
They don't want us to win.
He mad about that one, too.
I'm speaking for Sam right now.
This is the way he thinks.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they don't want us to win.
Third person.
I'm just saying, yo.
Don't say I didn I speak up for you.
That's exactly how New York fans feel.
They just knew they was getting Zion.
And when they didn't get Zion, they just knew they was getting Ja.
And then after they get Ja, it's like, man,
you just don't want no Andre Barrett Nigga
You don't want no Andre Barrett
You don't disrespect the Andre Barrett

The NBA does better when New York, Miami, and L.A. is playing well.
When there's a California team in the NBA or Dallas or, you know, New York or Miami,
one of those hot markets, the NBA is just a better league.
It's a better league.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
So what do you think should fix it?
Because there's lottery balls, Poise, that, you know, even if you got the worst record.
They would give niggas the lottery this year.
Let's say, not that they could, but I'm saying this would be the year
they give the Knicks the lottery when it ain't nobody niggas really want.
You know what I'm saying?
Niggas end up with 80 or something like that.
Niggas would be like, oh, we got 80.
Oh, we got 80.
That's all we needed was a solid big man.
Like, niggas always want to give New York the best of the worst, man.
I remember we got Kenny Skywalker.
That was tight, bro.
Yeah, yeah, I hated Kenny Skywalker. Why we didn't get Rex Chapman, man?
Yeah, Kenny Skywalker was stink, poor.
Niggas thought they killed him when he won the dunk contest.
Now y'all seen Sky? I ain't calling
that nigga Sky.
And then, listen,
last thing I'll ask you and Stat
this. This is more New York Knicks shit
since we don't get New York Knicks on the show.
Let me ask y'all, right
now, not overall career,
not what they've done
for their whole career, just
this season.
New York Knicks fans
and others believe
that Jalen Brunson is the best point
guard in the NBA right
now. I'll tell y'all what I said
after I hear you guys' opinion.
Is Jalen
Brunson the best point guard in the
NBA right now?
No, absolutely not.
What?
Absolutely not.
Who you got?
This is New York Knicks questions.
You just had 43 on day one last night.
Brunson is dead nice, but I don't have him above Steph.
I don't have him above SGA.
This season, Murr, remember we talking about this season.
Yeah, this season.
We talking this season.
I don't have him above SGA.
I don't have him above Steph.
And, you know, I don't really put nobody above Kyrie, Killer.
I don't care what they do.
Yeah, Kyrie had 48 last night.
Yes.
Kyrie went crazy.
I got him right after that.
I got him right after that.
Yeah, so I had to put some money in front of Kyrie
because Kyrie been so quiet that we almost forgetting about Kyrie.
Yeah, he just ain't getting in no trouble.
He still getting buckets.
When they was talking crazy about Brunson and talking about how crazy he
was playing, Kyrie was almost
identical. It's just he wasn't in the
papers and he was in Dallas.
Yep, and not only that,
the
garden sheds a different light on you as well.
Who do you believe is
the best point guards in the NBA right now?
Best point guards right now?
Is Jalen Brunson the best point guard for New York Knicks?
No, and it's not even dating.
Like, he's playing well, but I don't think anybody agrees with that
except Knicks fans.
It's like that sense of delusion that you're in.
Shout out to y'all, but it's the truth.
Like, nobody's saying that. He'susion that you're in. Shout out to y'all, but it's the truth. Nobody's saying that.
He's not in no conversation for that.
Yo, look at Nick's face.
Nick just lost all love for you.
Y'all know?
It's the truth.
Just lost all the love for you in that one moment.
New York niggas right now, what they doing?
What does she know?
What does she know?
Who is she?
She doesn't know Paul. Now they got to discredit you. Who is she? What does she know? Who is she?
They got to discredit you.
Who is she? What does she know?
Who do you got at the top of the list for your point guards
in the NBA right now?
Probably SGA.
Honestly,
I mean, Luka, but the Mavs are okay right now.
Yeah, I'd put SGA one right now.
Who after SGA?
I'm thinking, like, I'm leaning
towards Luka because I still think he's
great, but there's
plenty of other people.
Luka the point.
He's second for me.
I got Luka second. I got
SGA first. I got Luka me. I got Lucas second. I got SGA first. I got Lucas second.
I got Steph third, Kyrie fourth, and then I got Jalen Brunson.
Just to clarify, because when you say Steph third, people be like,
but we're talking about this season.
Yeah.
Yeah, Steph overall don't even ask questions about overall,
but this season just what he's doing by himself.
And to be honest with you, I may trade that order
and put Jalen in front of Steph just for this season.
I may put Jalen fourth and Steph fifth
because Steph is carrying the golden –
No, no, no, I'm just looking at overall.
Steph is carrying his team, no doubt.
That's not a doubt. But
it ain't like it ain't his niggas. It ain't
a new bunch of niggas. Y'all,
you knew your personnel. You know these niggas.
Y'all won championships
together. Jalen Brunson, to be
totally honest with you,
three of the Knicks starting
five have been hurt majority of the
season.
They get OG, OG gets hurt as soon as he gets there.
He just coming back.
Now we find out Julius Randle is out for the rest of the season.
The center Mitchell been out since December.
That's three.
And then it was somebody else who went out. They have four starting five out.
And majority time, three of the starting five out,
and Jalen Brunson is still getting the win, still got him in the 4-5 seed
without the usual personality he was used to last year,
and plus with additional trades, so on and so forth.
So when he has the Knicks this season compared to where Steph has Golden State
this season, I'm going to put him above Steph right now for this season.
That's the only reason.
So Steph would be fifth on your list?
Today as we stand.
Yeah.
All time.
I'm just talking about today.
Yeah, just this season.
Yeah, just this season.
Now, look, we don't know what's going to happen.
The playoffs come.
Everything, you know, is different dance floors, man.
Yeah, it could be back in the same order we thought it was.
Yeah, exactly.
It's different dance floors, baby.
Absolutely.
I'm just telling you right today where the season stands at today
with four games left in the season. But, yeah, I just think that
we do forget about Kyrie
a lot, man. And because he's
not in the news or on TV,
the game he had last night was sensational.
And
thanks for bringing him up, Mace, because I'm not saying
I wasn't going to bring him up, but
we got to stop
acting like Kyrie ain and Kyrie, man.
He's the best show on earth when he want to be.
Also, shout out R.J. Barrett because he caught a crazy stray earlier,
and I hope he's doing better with the loss of his brother.
So shout out to him.
I don't know him personally, but I just felt like, dang, if I was R.J. Barrett.
I know he lost his brother.
No disrespect.
We know all of that. We know all of that.
We know all of that.
Blessings to the family.
Prayers with the family.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, definitely.
You're right.
No disrespect.
God throw me under the bus, that.
I wasn't throwing you under the bus,
but I was probably about to be like, dang, what'd I do?
Like, you didn't do nothing.
Nah, but on some G shit, did I have murder back? Not do nothing now. But on some G said they have murder back.
Not like that, because I really don't want to have his back.
But he ain't lying.
That's what you think is his life.
Do you know disrespect?
Because I know you're going through some personal.
But listen, when niggas got poison, it's New York.
And it's like, fuck, is this old, big, tall ass nigga?
Yeah. Fuck.
Yo, who the fuck is this?
Yeah. New York.
Niggas don't know. They don't know.
And remember, I'm speaking for the New York
people. I'm not speaking for me. I'm speaking
for New York. That ain't even my team.
Shout out to RJ.
Yeah, I'm just saying,
that wasn't personal
towards him because they are rude.
If they don't know you, know you like you said,
Zion or somebody, they don't want to hear that shit.
What the fuck is this until further notice?
Yeah, until you prove different.
They thought they was getting Zion.
Okay. Well, y'all, that's
all the time that we have for today.
Thank you guys all for watching
and as always, it is what it is.
