You come late every day.
You stroll in here.

Blame all of us acting like we late.
And you live six blocks from here.
I don't care.
I don't care.
I don't mind because you my big bro.
Walk in when you want to walk in.
It's all fine with me.
But I'm going to tell you why I'm late.
I'm going to tell you exactly why I'm late.
And listen, you my nigga and all that shit.
But right now, I'm being, I'm being how, I'm being, what's it called?
I'm guilty by association right now.
Because I'm telling you right now, Murda, I don't want no problem with you.
But now I'm running into problems in the street now.
So we coming in the casino, me and Church.
Listen, me and Church, all right, Church.
Church had to just grab a nigga up. Nigga walks in the casino. We walk in the casino, me and Church. Listen, me and Church, Church had to just grab a nigga up.
Nigga walks in the casino.
We walk in the casino.
And a nigga comes to me and says, yo, when Mace said he's going to put out a song on Black Friday,
and then the other day he said he's going to put a freestyle out, what's going on?
I said, I don't know.
Whenever Mace wants to put it out.
And then the nigga mumbles under his breath
When somebody pop on one of you niggas, I guess she'll be happy
Well, I don't know niggas pop on one of you niggas church had to grab it because I'm confused
Why nigga might even want to pop on me?
Don't tell niggas you putting out no more freestyles, my nigga, because it's starting to turn violent at this point.
To where niggas say, well, when a nigga pop on one of you niggas,
I guess y'all be happy.
I don't know why a nigga even want to pop.
And I'm going to tell you, you be careful as well.
You be careful as well.
Because niggas is remembering that.
Tito said today they was going to start
a petition on when is the shit coming out because people were eager to hear what's going
on. Now I'm being threatened. I'm just letting you know that. I'm at the point where I'm
being threatened because they want to hear music. We can get to what we got to do. I
just thought I'd share that with you. Be careful in them airports, in them countries, and wherever you're traveling,
it's turning violent
because you won't give niggas
a 16 or whatever
you promise niggas.
Beware.
That's all I'm saying.
Dang.
Okay.
Let's start the show.
What an interesting start.
Yeah, man.
Okay.
During the Grizzlies game
in which they won
against the Warriors
116-107,
Draymond Green revealed Memphis's Gigi Jackson,
also the youngest active NBA player,
told Steph Curry, I got uninvited from your camp.
You then went on and dropped 23 points on them.
Why do you think he told Steph that?
And what's your initial reaction to hearing that?
Gigi Jackson for Memphis?
Yeah.
Triple J, triple Gs, all these fucking, all these shit.
Double G, J, double G, J.
Yeah, and all this shit.
Listen, you know what I don't understand?
And listen, man, what I just don't understand with people
is that while I play with certain individuals?
Like certain people you could say shit like that to
or you could sit there and talk shit to
and you feel confident about it.
Like, you know, when I was talking,
I watched years ago, this was years ago,
Alan Iverson, everybody knows that famous crossover
he did on Michael Jordan.
And Allen Iverson got on TV and they was like,
how you felt about doing that to Michael Jordan?
And he was like, yo, Mike is the GOAT.
But you know, this is my dance floor too
when I come out here.
This is my dance floor.
And Allen Iverson is shit.
Probably, not even probably top five,
two yards,
especially at six feet,
six foot one,
whatever he is.
But he even said it like,
you know,
this is my dance floor.
And that was bigger him to say,
and that was dangerous to say as well.
But that's Allen Iverson.
I'd never heard of Triple G.
And the reason I bring that up
is because niggas like Allen Iverson,
he can say shit like that.
Even though he's not Michael Jordan, he can say shit like that.
Even though he's not Michael Jordan, but he still can say that.
You had 23, you didn't have 47.
You didn't have 48.
You're in second and third to last place, GGG.
Don't talk to self-curry like that.
The nigga got four rings.
The nigga shoots out the building.
You know what happened?
You know what happened, GGG?
He called him GGG.
What's his name?
G.G. Jackson.
G.G.J.
Not Triple G, Cam.
He's G.G.J.
That's the point.
I don't even know that nigga.
That's the point.
I'm just G.G.J.
I said Triple G, my fault.
Juh, juh, juh.
You saw that juh.
You saw that juh. What I'll say is this, and I, my fault. You saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that, you saw that Dylan Brooks tried this he tried to say some slick shit to LeBron James
and you know what LeBron James did
to him the next time they played
killed them and sent them niggas home
he's in Houston right now
I'm not saying Houston's doing
pretty good actually better than Memphis
but still he didn't want to go to Houston
he got out of pocket with a superstar
a hall of famer
the person who has all the leads to NBA He didn't want to go to Houston. He got out of pocket with a superstar, a Hall of Famer,
the person who has all the leads to NBA and points past Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
He got out of pocket with him.
And you did it subliminally
because you could have been like,
yo, Steph, you know what's good?
I came to your camp and I didn't make it.
It's a pleasure to even be on the same court as you.
It's a way to do it.
You,
if you,
I don't know the context
of how it went,
but this is the quote
that we got.
Yeah,
you cut me at your camp,
nigga.
Shit.
Take packing on up.
Don't,
don't play with,
don't play at that light skin
nigga like that,
man.
That's a light skin nigga
to get dark for us.
Beware.
Do not do that
because you'll end up...
Tomorrow, you won't even know it,
and you'll be in Detroit.
Keep playing.
Dumb is the type of niggas that get you traded
to the worst team in the NBA.
Keep it up, and you'll be in Detroit.
Go ahead, Murda.
Yeah, playing for the Sacramento Shishkabob.
You ain't even in the G league you in the f league my nigga you a buggin you gotta chill what is wrong with these i appreciate the tenacity pause but i'm thinking about how do you get
uninvited that's what i wanted to talk about what did you do that made them uninvite you
like you were you had an invitation and then we changed our mind like what happened in that
particular scenario because that's crazy so that's actually exactly what happened
yeah they gave out invites and they over invited too many people so they had to retract some invites back and his was one of them so he was one of the people that they were being generous to and it
was like if we have enough space pauls you can show up and then they recognized they didn't have
enough spaces and they had to say come on my nigga you know you don't belong on this list
and that's basically what it is. We were trying to be nice.
This is what happened when that mentality of giving everybody a trophy goes wrong.
You know, like when I was living in L.A., not L.A., but San Diego,
my son was playing on a team, and they would just give everybody trophies.
I said, nah, give the trophy back. I said, nah, give the trophy back.
He said, well, I give the trophy back.
I said, cause you didn't win anything.
You didn't win anything.
Y'all actually was like in fourth place.
You don't get a trophy for fourth place.
And then I made him work until he could win a trophy that he could have.
And he appreciated it.
But at that moment, that was hell in the household.
Yeah, I can imagine.
You made him give his trophy back.
Yeah, there's like a fourth place trophy.
That's not a real trophy.
Yeah, that's a participation trophy
and we don't do those.
We don't do the participation trophies.
You start him out early,
then he can get uninvited.
This is how you can get uninvited.
You're really not in the list.
And we decide that we no longer giving out participation invitations and they need that invite back.
Yeah.
You know who you take, though?
Yeah.
You know who that is?
Murder.
Like, you know, when you go to the awards and you get over, how you sit in the front,
or it's you or Denzel Washington.
He's a seat filler.
Yeah.
He's the people that fill the seats up
when they're around the celebrities
so that it look crowded when they're there.
Yeah.
And you actually, Gigi Jackson,
because I'm on a new path right now.
You should be actually happy that he uninvited you because that's what made you work to be on this stage.
You got to remember, sometimes it's a blessing in disguise that somebody told you the truth.
He told you the truth.
But let me get the invitation back.
And that's why you was able to get 23 that night.
That's how I see it.
What new path are you on?
You on a new path?
What path is this?
Let me know what's going on.
And I'm not letting nothing slide no more.
Okay.
I thought that was the original path.
You went off path
for a minute and you got back on it?
Yeah, I got off a
little bit. I was trying to let
niggas enjoy themselves.
I'm back on it. That's why I got
on all black, you know? Pause.
Okay. Well,
you said pause kind of
a little bit after you was trying to let niggas
enjoy themselves, which was kind of crazy.
But okay.
And look, May said it really well.
That's a great way to look at it.
That, you know, being uninvited.
What'd you say?
I said he helped them.
No, absolutely.
I didn't look at it from that perspective.
That's a great way to look at it.
Being uninivided. And not only, we don't know which are trials and tribulations or your road to the NBA was, but obviously, if you remember that and want to tell him, that seems like you've been wanting to tell him that for a minute. That helped you get there. And I didn't look at it from that perspective. That's a great way that Mace put that together. And that could be part of the reason, one of the reasons,
many reasons that you are in
the NBA now. I don't slight no
NBA player, but it's just about, it's
levels to this shit. Be careful.
Be really careful. You know,
we talked about this with,
and it hasn't happened yet,
with Halliburton talking to
Damian Lillard crazy, and they
played again. Halliburton said, I said what Iard crazy and they played again. And Halliburton said,
I said what I said.
You know, he bust ass again.
So now when this happens after,
if you go back and do this again,
I said what I said.
Same thing with our nigga Sha
over there,
Shay over there in OKC.
He putting up pictures and stuff.
And then he went back and did it again.
You know, when you do this multiple times,
I could dig it,
but not with the Grizzlies
at this particular point.
They're not that good.
Golden State isn't the best
that they are right now,
but they're better than the Grizzlies.
I just want to add,
I just don't think he was being,
trying to be disrespectful
because even like
they had a post game interview
where Shaq was interviewing him
and he didn't know
until Shaq introduced himself
and in the interview
Shaq basically just told him
I don't have a question
I just want to say
congratulations young fella
because he did just turn 19
and he was very shook
and surprised
so like
he still obviously has respect
for other players
but I think in that moment
like
you know in the heat of the moment like they're beating the warriors this is steph curry he did
get uninvited from the camp he just wanted to say his little piece and he got it out there
and that's that but niggas niggas get killed in the heat of the moment pause niggas die sometime
in the heat of the moment i don't see niggas get shot in the heat of the moment.
So I dig it. I hear
where you coming from. Yeah,
and he think different in heaven, you know.
Yeah, watch that.
Yeah, y'all be careful.
That is not the way
I was going. Yeah, we from a different
area, a different place. The heat of
the moment could cost you your life.
Be careful. Yeah, you don't get a do-over for that.
Okay.
You got to play with the right niggas.
Right.
Next topic.
The Suns completed.
Oh, and just real quick,
I just think it's funny too.
We'll see what happens
because every time we talk about a player,
you guys are like,
I never heard of him.
They end up spazzing out.
So we'll just see what happens next
for Gigi Jackson
because who knows?
Well, he's been there all season, right?
Yeah, he's on two-way though.
So I don't know how many times.
So he's been in the G League as well.
Yeah.
Well, we didn't hear about him until this.
You know, when people...
Yeah, we didn't hear about him because he's in the G League.
Who watched the G League games?
I don't.
Yeah, neither do I. unless it's maybe the championship.
Secondly, you might be in the G League next week.
When you're a two-way player, that means they keep shipping you back and forth
from the G League to the A, G League to the A.
You might have been playing because niggas is hurt.
You got to think about it.
Desmond Baines hasn't been playing.
You know John Morant's out for the season.
And you're a two-way player saying, You know, John Morant's out for the season. And yeah,
two-way players saying, you know, I got cut from the camp. Look, you can find a nice way about
this stat all you want. That's what you do for a living.
Watch your mouth before I
make a call and get you back in the G League.
And you're 19. Be easy, my nigga.
Be easy.
Moving
along.
The Suns completed a tour.
Did you just threaten that nigga, Cam?
Did he just threaten you?
I wasn't threatening.
When I say, no, I'm saying be easy,
I'm telling him be easy for himself
because, look, think about it, Mace.
We laugh and we joke and all that other shit,
but dead ass seriously,
and niggas won't ever admit it and say it,
that nigga Dylan Brooks is not really that bad
of a player. He's not terrible.
Yeah. He, you know, he, some
may say he was the Draymond
for Memphis.
If you want to look at it. Yeah, he just said it to the wrong
player. You said it to the wrong
nigga, man, and that got you
out of here. And then as
far as you like, as far as
that just saying how
we always say
we never heard of nobody and then we end
up hearing about him. Look, we only
talking about him because what he said
to Steph. If he had to
23 and then say this to Steph, we
wouldn't be talking about him. We're
talking about him, but not
his basketball. He did a decent job.
23 points is cool.
It wasn't, like I said,
it wasn't 90,
it wasn't 70.
It wasn't a fucking Booker,
a Booker,
Devin Booker night.
This conversation
is purely happening
because we're leading
the show off with this
because of what you said
to Steph Curry.
Not your 23 points.
It's the audacity of you saying this to Steph Curry.
So.
Now.
Go ahead.
Killer, if he does this seven more times
and go Jeremy Lin or get an ice cream named after you paused,
then maybe you had the right to say it,
but not one game.
At least Jeremy Lin did it for a few games.
Yeah, absolutely. And the. At least Jeremy Lin did it for a few games. Yeah, absolutely.
And the problem with that is Mason totally,
because you know he played in New York,
so he turned the garden upside down.
But where's Jeremy Lin?
He did get an ice cream can.
Yeah, listen, Buster Douglas got a video game.
He knocked Mike Tyson out one night and got a video game he knocked Mike Tyson out one night
and got a video game
we ain't hear from him since
and shout out to Buster Douglas
he from Columbus, Ohio
he's an Ohio nigga
I know Buster personally
with that bust
he got a little box of tournaments
he got a video game
because he knocked out Mike Tyson
I ain't never seen
Jeremy Lin ice cream
I ain't never played
Buster Douglas punch out
nothing
consistency counts
yeah
okay let's move on
to the Suns they completed a
22.4th quarter comeback
to defeat the Kings
119-117 so what do you think about
the comeback and then what's your
opinion on the Suns?
Look,
me and Mace picked the Suns
to go to the Western Conference Final.
They haven't been living up to the expectations
that we thought they would.
I'm not going to say it's not a tremendous feat
to come back against the Sacramento Kings
because the Sacramento Kings are not the Sacramento Kings
that they used to be.
Sacramento Kings were really, really good last year.
This year, they're not about to succeed right now.
Mike Brown, we already know his coaching pedigree.
He's really good, but I wouldn't make a big deal out of it
because right now, if you ask me this at the beginning of the season,
the Suns would be first, second, and third in the Western Conference.
Right now, I'm looking at it, they're the eighth seed,
which guarantees no playoff spot.
Right now, you're in the play-in
to see if you're going to be in the playoff if
it ended today.
And Sacramento is a better
team right now than the Phoenix
Suns. So I watched that, and it was
a great, tremendous comeback. Look, the NBA,
if you get a victory, you get a victory. So they say
us as fans,
we're not counting that shit.
We expect certain things.
Yeah, we expect
certain things from certain players.
It's great to come back, but
we got to stop
acting like they don't have
Kevin Durant, Booker,
and Bill. I don't
know why they wasn't up 20.
So that's just my opinion.
You know, congrats on the win.
But this shouldn't be news.
You know, we're sitting here as analysts
and sports commentators looking for shit.
And that's why I used to be mad
when I watched other sports shows.
I'm like, damn, they used to be making shit up
to be talking about,
why the fuck is this really news?
They made a comeback.
It's the Phoenix Suns.
You got fucking Kevin Durant and Booker and Bradley Beal,
and you're playing against the young guns.
Now, I'm not shitting on Malik Monk or Fox or the coaching staff
or the rest of the crew over there because they're young and up and coming.
They took Golden State to seven games last year in the playoffs
and did a phenomenal job. But you're fucking with the and coming. They took Golden State to seven games last year in the playoffs and did a phenomenal job.
But you're fucking with the big dogs.
Of course.
You know?
This shouldn't have been a comeback situation.
This should have been...
Yeah, dude.
Yeah, Murdoch.
Yeah, the crazier news is,
why does Eric Gordon have the same amount of points as Devin Booker?
Right.
I mean, or Bradley Bill.
That's really the issue.
It's not the comeback.
It's like, yo, you got Bradley Bill at 13.
You got Devin Booker at 16.
And the story is you got Grayson Allen at 29.
That's the crazy part.
Right. So when I'm thinking about this as a team, it's still concerning because you're winning on the back paws of Grayson Allen.
He had the highest points on the team.
That's not a good sign.
It's a great, excellent point, man.
Look, we always say it's a long season and we got some time, but it's winding down, man.
All-Star break is exactly one month from now.
A few teams need to get it together sooner than later.
And the Phoenix Suns are one of them.
The Los Angeles Lakers are another team.
Golden State Warriors are another team.
Or we are going to see the changing of the guard.
Right now in the East, pretty much what we said before the season started
is going on the East, Boston, Philly, Milwaukee,
the creme de la creme of the East.
The West, they shaking it up, baby.
They shaking it up.
And if something doesn't get done quickly,
we're going to see some new blood on the West.
Outside of Denver, that is.
Yeah.
Who you thinking?
Sacramento and who else?
Because Sacramento is definitely one of them teams.
If we're talking about the West, look.
Look at the West.
Look, you don't know what it is.
Minnesota was number one in this one of them situations
where they'd be like, oh, they're number one now.
They've been number one for about a month and a half
at the number one seed. It isn't like they've been number one and. They've been number one for about a month and a half at the number one seed.
It isn't like they've been number one
and somebody else comes in number two
and then they're number three.
Then before you know it,
they slide down to four or five or six.
Minnesota has been the number one seed
in the NBA.
And I don't know this for a fact,
but off the top of my head
and keeping up with what we need to do
for it is what it is,
at least a month.
At least a month. At least a month.
Maybe longer than that.
Oklahoma City has been number two at least a month.
At least a month, they've been number two,
and Denver's been number three.
The sleeper, and I'm not going to say it's a sleeper,
but the team that's really surprising
and has the best record probably since December, mid-December
at least
is the Los Angeles Clippers.
You got the Los Angeles Clippers looking
like, uh-oh, you know,
even with Denver, like, if they can figure that
Joker shit out, the Clippers are
looking sensational because now you got
the GOAT
Paul George acting crazy now.
He acting GOATish.
He acting real GOATish lately.
James Harden is looking really happy as a basketball player.
You know, body language says a lot
when you play basketball.
I'm not saying he wasn't happy.
They're all back in their hometown.
Killer, they all from LA.
Yeah, I know that.
So what better place to win?
Yeah, no, but what I'm saying is we knew
that before it started when we was
criticizing them everybody was
criticizing them the only person
and we gave them them props before
the only person that said give me a minute was
Ty Lue and
obviously he had the right
games in mind
I need 10 games cause that's about
how long it took for him to figure it out.
It took him about seven to nine games,
and then them niggas started clicking.
And also, like, when we gave props to him before,
it was very big of Russell Westbrook to say,
listen, I'm going to come off the bench.
Russell Westbrook took one game.
Tyrone Lue took 10 games.
Russell Westbrook said, take me one game.
If I come off the bench,
we start winning.
And I think they went on
like an eight-game win streak.
So I'm giving the credit
to Russell Westbrook.
I give the credit
to Russell Westbrook too,
but it wasn't one game.
They lost like six, seven games.
And then Russell Westbrook said,
nah, I'm going to sit down, B.
This shit ain't working.
I don't want to be the blame.
So I don't know if you took
that one game from the sedan, but remember, them nigg working. I don't want to be the blame. So, I don't know if you took that one game from
the Sudan, but remember, them niggas was losing
like seven games in a row.
Yeah, the one game when he made the
decision, that's when they started
winning. So, as a
GM, I'm giving the credit to Russell
Westbrook. Why is he
a GM?
So, in the future, he could
be a GM, Because remember I said
If this doesn't go right
This is going to be
The end of his career
So
You know if somebody
Pause
Take one for the team
At least set him up
On his next endeavor
Okay
Gotcha
I don't see Russell Wilson
Being a GM
No I see him being
A fashion model
You know that nigga
was the head designer
for True Religion
and all that shit
at one particular time.
You know,
he's a fashionista.
What you call it?
Fashionista.
Fashionista.
He's one of the fashionistas.
I saw his face
when you said
you don't see him
being a GM
when he go,
what?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not saying
he couldn't be a GM.
I think he's more in the fashion than trying to organize a team.
But who am I to judge?
I don't know.
Russell Westbrook's my nigga, so whatever he want to do, I think he'll do it.
He definitely judges the hearts of players very well.
What's that supposed to mean?
He can pick, like, Paul's toughness in a player, like the same
thing that Pat
Rowley was at first. He knew the right
players to pick and put with
certain people. That's what he
continues to do with Miami.
When did he see Russell Westbrook pick
tough players, brother? When was this?
You know what I mean? Like he
can acknowledge
it.
KD argues a lot. Different people he, he can acknowledge it. I mean,
KD argues a lot of different people.
He argued with over the years.
His,
his perception is kind of,
kind of right.
So you're saying,
what does he think of KD?
What are you trying to say about that?
This is the new leaf I'm on.
I'm not letting people.
That's what I'm asking you. And now new leaf I'm on I'm not letting people that's what I'm asking my nigga NL
new leaf
what are you trying to say
I'm trying to
he deems Kevin Durant to take
the path of least resistance
okay that's what he says
okay gotcha
I like KD too.
Pause.
I want to go back to the sun,
but I still got to tell the truth.
All right, man.
I don't know your vibe today.
I'm trying to pick up on it, man.
You got a dark vibe.
You got a podium vibe.
He deems the path.
We're going to deem the path today.
I got to chill out.
I don't know where you're going.
Because you can dig deep in your bag for us.
I don't know where we going today.
If we going Dean the Pav, I might got to just chill out and relax.
I don't know where we going.
Oh, God.
We're off to a real weird start because it's showing.
Okay.
Well, speaking of like teams changing things around,
the Pacers acquired Pascal Siakam and a future second round pick from Toronto
in a three team deal that includes the Pelicans.
Was this a good move for the Pacers?
I think this is great.
I think this is great.
I'm going to be, I'm going to be,
um,
Paul short.
I think this is really great for the,
the Pacers.
At first,
I didn't like the trade because I was thinking about how later down the line,
they may need Bruce Bowen,
but,
um,
Bruce Brown.
Um,
but I was thinking about what Siakam could bring to that team.
And it's exactly the other pedigree that they need.
And that's in the front court because between Buddy Hill and the point guard, they pretty got what they need for the perimeter.
Now they need that presence down low.
Pause.
Killers on you, though.
I was crazy.
I was wild.
See, our command, his days may have passed, like, when he was that nigga, nigga.
He's not bad now, but...
I don't know.
I'm not...
I got to see how it works out.
I see what the paces are feeling.
Look, they was like, we was second, third in the East.
They dropped down to seventh.
And they're like, we got to bust a move
to make sure that we stay where we need to stay in the playoffs.
I feel more bad for Bruce Brown because it's like, yo,
you could have took a couple million less
and don't get it fucked up.
I know you won the championship and you want your money,
but you could have stayed in Denver.
And y'all niggas could have had the same,
almost the same team as last year and played that same role
because you played a major part in that championship last year.
It was even to the point where I was like, damn,
they not playing Reggie Jackson?
Who is this? And you're like, oh, they not playing Reggie Jackson? Who is this?
Then you're like, oh, this nigga, hi.
Oh, this is Bruce Brown, niggas.
Hi, B.
So I'll wait and see how the trade goes.
I don't have as much information as Mace had about it just now.
But more than anything else, it's more for me like, damn, Bruce.
Now you're just getting shipped around when you had a real, real great place to be at,
a championship team, niggas that you know,
coach that loved you,
and you was getting decent playing time,
for probably two and a half more,
three more million dollars
than you would have made in Denver.
You ain't got that Jordan Poole syndrome.
Oh, Bruce?
Yeah. Yeah, Bruce? Yeah.
Yeah, well, I wouldn't say that.
You get out of that system, you look different.
You know, sometimes, Paul, you're just in a system
that shines on your attributes,
and then you get out of that system,
and it's not the same.
And players know what I'm talking about.
Sometimes you look brilliant in that system only,
but in another system, you wouldn't even be that player.
Copy.
Love that you brought up the system
because we're going to talk about the system. It was
reported James Harden wants to sign a
long-term deal with the Clippers and
retire with them. Can you see
this happening?
Jesus.
He said he want to retire there?
Yeah.
This is like a
girl that been married three times.
She told the last nigga she'll
be with him forever.
And the one before that, she told
him she'll be with him
forever. And he was her soul
mate, you know?
James Harden is a Vir virgo let me start with that
so as and i don't really talk about this a lot but that that psychological makeup is just a lot
of highs and lows so not to cut you off murder what's your sign virgo okay i'm just letting the
people know you got to continue i just wanted the people know. You got to continue.
I just wanted people to know.
Well, actually, that's not my sign.
What's your sign?
My sign is dollar sign.
My bad.
No, I was just saying you was about to speak on Virgos,
and people may not know why you have this much knowledge on Virgos.
That's all I was saying.
Yeah, it's like when they're a part of it, they're a part of it,
and when they're not, it's just nothing you can do to make them a part of it.
So I wouldn't hold any of that as true unless he puts it in writing.
You know how they have a no trade clause?
Yes.
They got to make a new clause for players.
I don't know what it would be for the GM,
but they need that same clause for the players.
You promised to not defame the organization.
That's an NDA.
They might need an NDA with James Harden,
let alone a no trade clause.
Well, even when
he shitted on Darren Moore,
he got fined.
They fined him for doing that shit.
Look.
Because Darren Moore was his man, right?
I was his nigga.
And he gave him a lot,
a lot of money
in two different cities.
But Darren Moore, he did play. And he gave him a lot, a lot of money in two different cities. But,
Darren Morey did play
a little game with him
and said,
look,
re-sign here
and I'll make sure
I trade you.
And then,
once he re-signed,
because he wanted to make sure,
that's what I'm saying,
that's how much of his man
he was.
He like,
yo,
I'm going to get you
the bag here
because if you go
to another team,
you're not going to get
the bag that you could get for re-signing.
Then I'll trade you.
And when Darryl Morey didn't rush and do that,
James Harden said he's a sucker,
bitch-ass nigga, liar,
whatever else he wanted to call him.
And that's when the phrase,
come on, my niggas started.
Because that's when Darryl Morey's like,
what else can I do for you?
Back to what you were saying, Mace.
Did he ever re-sign him for the more money?
Yes, that's what got James Hart mad because he re-signed with Philly
and Daryl Morey was supposed to trade him.
And once, because he re-signed,
and if Daryl Morey didn't want to trade him, he couldn't bust the move.
He couldn't go nowhere.
So Daryl Morey ended up trading him eventually,
but it wasn't, it started
looking like he lied to him. Like, I know I told you to resign, but we can't figure the trade out.
So it may look like you're going to be an affiliate another year. And they get like, nah, nah, nah,
nah, nah, nah. That wasn't the deal. You said you resigned me, you got me. And that's his man.
So he trusted him and it didn't go as fast as James Harden wanted it to go.
So that's when the problems between James Harden and Daryl Morey started because James Harden thought he was shitting on him.
Back to this long-term deal.
Look, it sounds good right now because y'all are winning.
What?
What happened?
No, I was agreeing with you. Yeah, I was agreeing with you.
Yeah, I'm agreeing with you.
You said it first.
It sounds good now because you guys are winning
and it's looking good.
And y'all climbed out of a hole to being in the fourth place
in the Western Conference.
And why wouldn't you want to retire at home?
Like you said earlier in the show, Mace,
Kawhi Leonard, Paul George,
Russell Westbrook, and James Harden
is all from the
Southern California area.
And if you can win and stay home,
I think that's dope.
We'll see,
will it survive the test of time?
The Clippers, one thing
for sure, two things for certain,
got a jinx on that motherfuckers.
I know that.
Every time it seem like it's supposed to go right
for the Clippers,
don't matter who's on the team,
it just doesn't seem to go right.
Will this team make it right?
Hopefully we'll see, man.
We'll have, like I said,
Kawhi's looking great.
James Harden's looking great.
Paul George looks great.
Russell Westbrook looks great.
Ty Lue coaches asshole. But look,
and God forbid, knock on wood,
this thing is
an ankle twist from being turned
all the way around. One player
gets injured, God forbid, and this whole
shit will go downhill. Long-term
contract, the system, whatever the
fuck you want to call it, it'll all go downhill.
We are one Kawhi
Leonard hamstring away
from this chick turning
to a whole different story.
So hopefully that doesn't happen,
but it sounds good when you're winning.
Steve Ballmer, who's the owner,
he seems like a dope owner.
You know, they're building
a new stadium for the Clippers.
They got their own stadium.
Some fly shit.
I seen it last night.
Looks really dope.
They're not going to be sharing the court with the Lakers anymore?
Nope.
They building a new studio.
The Clippers got some new dope shit that they're building right now.
It was looking fly too.
They got a section in there where if you got on,
you can't sit in that area if you ain't got on a Clipper jersey,
Clipper jacket, Clipper paraphernalia.
You can't sit in a certain part of the arena.
So, in other words, if you're not a genuine clipper fan,
for this portion of the arena, you can't sit there.
And even if you're not a clipper fan,
you got a front like you are and wear the memorabilia
that they have there, so, the merch or whatever.
But I think Steve Ballmer's dope, man.
He's really excited. He's a Steve Ballmer's dope, man. He's really excited.
He's a fun...
He's not Mark Cuban.
He's kind of quirky,
kind of different at the games.
Exciting.
Excited.
But I think he's passionate about his team.
When he was in the arena today,
pardon me, last night,
with a hard hat on pause,
with the construction workers
showing how the arena's getting built.
Like he was part of building this shit.
So I think they got a dope owner
and good things are happening
for the Clippers moving forward.
But I do think that's part of the problem
being where the Lakers play.
Every night, whether they change that floor
or not from the Lakers to the Clippers,
when you look up in them banners,
in the Raptors,
you only see Laker banners. You don't see
no other banners but Laker banners.
No matter if the floor say Clippers or not,
the Raptors say Lakers.
So I think you got to get out that building
and start your own dynasty.
Yeah, it's like a nigga letting you stay in his
house and saying you're good.
You're good until you're not good.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Good point. And then last topic before we go
to break, DeAndre Aiton missed Wednesday
night's game against the Nets because his
neighborhood was too icy.
He tried for hours to get
out, but was unsuccessful. The Blazers
sent people to help, but they couldn't get available.
So thoughts on him being stuck?
Wait, let me say this.
Let me say this.
Yo, D-Wade, I apologize for dissing you on your birthday,
but I still stand by what I said, but not on your birthday.
I shouldn't have said that on your birthday.
But moving on to D, what's his name?
DeAndre?
DeAndre Ayton.
Oh, man.
Why do they got to send somebody to help that big nigga get out the house?
Ain't he like seven feet?
This is crazy.
What do they send over there?
I don't know.
They just said they sent help and it said to no available.
That was the report.
Imagine two five, eight niggas over there trying to shovel snow to get a seven foot nigga out with slippers on.
Was it too snowy or too icy?
It said too icy.
Who buy you some ice skates, nigga?
Like, yo, you get paid too much money.
Look, me and Mason
went last year to go see
the Phoenix Suns play,
which he played for the Phoenix Suns last year,
which he didn't play
because he was beefing with the coach,
Monty and all that.
Like, yo, niggas gotta, it's always...
Yeah, he wanted to stay in Phoenix.
Right, yeah, exactly.
And it's like, it's always something.
It's always something with certain niggas.
You know who would've got to the game?
Kobe Bryant, God bless him to death,
would've got to the game. Michael Jordan would've got to the game. Allen Alvinson would have got to the game? Kobe Bryant, God bless him today, would have got to the game.
Michael Jordan would have got to the game.
Allen Alvinson would have got to the game. And
I hate always bringing up
certain niggas because it seems like
Cam, you're always bringing up
the old niggas, this and that.
Yeah, like, you know,
like, when this segment, when we
after I say what I say, and you
say what you say, Stats gonna say, say, that's going to say, well,
if it's just too icy to get out the house,
you can't blame them for not making it to the game cam.
And, you know, things happen.
And, and, and, and what do you expect them to do?
Because it's just icy.
We're in that world.
Where's Jen?
What is it?
Jen?
Why she is Jen?
I actually disagree
with this one
but I hear you
yeah man
Jen Z shit
it's frozen
what is he supposed
to do
he's seven feet
and he's frozen
his
his pinky is
frostbitten
you know
what would you like
him to do
yeah Jen Z shit
and I'm cool
with Jen Z
don't get it
fucked up
but it'd be a lot
of excuses
with Jen Z shit mad excuses man'm cool with Gen Z. Don't get it fucked up. But there'll be a lot of excuses with Gen Z shit.
Mad excuses, man.
Yeah, when they on fire, it's, oh, it's a new day.
But when there's some struggle, they want every excuse in the book to get out of it.
Yeah, and listen.
You know, my problem is, it's just the athletes, because Gen Z got the drillers for us.
Niggas drilling shit.
You know what I'm saying? So
it ain't like Gen Z ain't out here doing certain
things that need to be done.
It's just some of the athletes.
And it's not all of them.
John Moran, them niggas dogs.
Zion's healthy dogs,
nigga. So it's just certain niggas,
but I don't know what,
I don't even know.
Yo, that just, to me,
I don't see ice.
I can't see a nigga
just slipping his way
out the house like,
nah, I can't go nowhere, nigga.
This is crazy.
My bad, Jen.
G-Z.
G-Z.
Yo, I need to compile
a list of things.
Gen Z, Gen X, Millennials, and see what y'all think is weird versus not. We're going to have to go a list of things. Gen Z, Gen X, Millennials,
and see what y'all think is weird versus not.
We're going to have to go through that one day.
Yeah, for real, we should.
Because I think that would be hilarious.
That would be.
It would be.
Some things that I probably think is weird,
y'all are probably like, yeah, da, da, da.
That's a fact.
We'll do a list.
That's a fact.
Whether it be next episode, we'll figure it out.
We got to settle this.
No, I think you're absolutely right.
Because I had an argument.
I hate to keep bringing this thing up on the show.
My man,
since city,
he's mad at me cause I don't miss pay phones.
He's telling me,
Kim,
you don't miss this going to the pay phone.
No,
I don't.
I don't.
And then you say,
you don't miss smooth magazine with all the girls on it.
I said,
man,
listen,
I ain't gonna lie.
I like my iPhone is bitches on there. I can see who I want. I used't going to lie. I like my iPhone. There's bitches on there.
I can see who I want.
I used to have to jerk off
to the Jet Magazine
Beauty of the Week
when I was little.
I don't want to do that.
You don't even know
the Jet Magazine
Beauty of the Week stat.
That was a big deal
at one time, man.
That's what I had to do.
No, I don't miss that.
Mace has no comment.
Okay, I will make the list
and we'll discuss that
opening of one of our shows next, but we're
going to go to break. This is my new weed.
What'd you say, Mace? This is my new weed.
That's part of it.
My bad, Murda. I'm just sad.
She pissed me off. I looked at the phone
and we all argued with this nigga for three and a half
hours because there's
no more pay phones in New York. She was
crazy and I don't miss Smooth Magazine for the bitches.
It is what it is.
Hey, we're going to go to break.
When we return, we will talk CJ Stroud's
edited post-game interview.
Don't go anywhere. She call this thing about toxic
Boy isn't counting
Got you feeling like an option
Maybe I'm my own problem, babe
She tired of hearing hearing I don't know
What's happenin' to me won't fall Dealin' with this thing called trust
But she ain't really thinkin' bout it She wanna be free
Why am I in this woman's way? She wanna be free Welcome back.

Download the Underdog Fantasy app
and you can make your picks too.
Reading that is funny to me because somebody literally mocked me the other day. They were like, stat, download the underdog fantasy app and you can make your picks too. Guys, I get it. It's part of it. It's part of it. Okay. So NBC is being- Mesa's here Cause you tell them how the aliens And us are trading gold for wifi
You on the show
We got
We got wifi from them
Wait that nigga said we doing business with the aliens?
This is him
Hold on
Start over real quick
I said we got our internet and wifi from them with the aliens? Hold on. Start over real quick.
I said,
we got our internet and Wi-Fi from them
because our planet
produces sulfur
like no other planet.
So we made an agreement.
God.
So,
yeah, they won't teach us how to fly
because we'll kill ourselves.
They don't like nuclear bombs,
so that's why they're there,
all the hot spots,
which is Ohio, New York,
wherever we keep nuclear bombs,
Virginia,
wherever we keep nuclear bombs,
that's when they come around
when we start bombing each other.
Because our planet is the only one
that produces sulfur.
What's funny?
What they need it for, though.
What the aliens need it for.
I don't know.
Last question,
because Mace can't even hear you.
I mean, you can't hear him because the speaker's there.
Who's conducting the deal with the aliens on our side?
Well, we got a special part in the government for that.
Not even the president is down with that.
There's a special part of the government that's funded by the government.
It's called a group book.
But only America's involved, not
Asia, not Russia, not...
No, no, no, no, no. Everybody got their own
thing. Wherever it happens at,
they got their own secret society
in the government.
It's called a blue book.
Alright, Mace was just wondering
about it, because I told him how we was doing
business with them, and they give us
internet, we give them gold, so So we'll discuss it later, man. Thank you for chiming in, man.
You can't make this shit up.
You can't make this shit up.
We're doing business, man. We're trading gold for Wi-Fi.
You know that?
This nigga.
Only a nigga from Harlem.
This is what I'm trying to tell you.
It was, yo, bro, three hours of this yesterday, man.
I didn't even mean
to interrupt the show
with this
and listen
listen you know
what's crazy about this
there's gonna be people
who watch this
and be like
yo he's right
so there's gonna be
six niggas
out there somewhere
like nah he ain't lying
yeah
maybe this is where
they get the galaxy
phone from.
That was good.
Yeah.
Issues, man.
This is where we got the galaxy. That's where the galaxy phone came from.
Oh, shit.
My bad, Stat.
My bad.
I have more questions,
but I guess that's for another day.
Because even the soldier conversation
threw me off.
But, okay.
NBC is being accused of editing
CJ Stroud's post-game interview
cutting out CJ thanking Jesus Christ.
So in a side-by-side one edit,
he says before the speech, first and foremost, I want to thanking Jesus Christ so in a side-by-side one edit he says before this
speech first and foremost I want to thank Jesus Christ and then in the edit after it goes straight
to the post-game question so what do you think about the accusations and the videos circulating
around of both of the edits please go first uh man this is this is a real interesting one because I will first start by saying
that he has the right to voice who he gives his credit to. It's like somebody asking you,
why were you able to perform at such a high level? Some people may say it's because
of our law, or some people may say, even if it wasn't a religion, they may say, my mother did
this for me. I think to try to redirect anybody's praise or credit is just horrifically wrong,
because that's who they got the strength from. If you like the performance, Paul, or what they were able to do,
they're telling you how they were able to find that fortitude,
how they were able to do this.
But I just think that when you're on certain platforms,
they try to control who you even give the credit to
because if you give credit to something that's outside of what they desire that credit to go towards, then I have more people looking in that direction.
And I think that's the thing is just we just looking at a world that kind of don't respect God in the form of Jesus or that,
because if he would have said Allah or anything else,
they wouldn't have had a problem with it.
It just was a problem because he was speaking on a platform that, that pretty much did not want the name of Jesus really edified.
And because he's a athlete,
another side of that is that we don't have you here for Jesus.
So that's going to be their argument. We don't want to know about Jesus.
We want to know about your physical athletic ability and how you was able to do that physically and athletically and leaving all of religion out.
So that's it seemed like the only time people want to leave that out is when it comes to Christianity, because they look at Christianity as a soft religion. They look at Islam and those
other religions as something that they have to respect. But that's where I would take that and
conclude that. It's a great take. That was really a great take. And that's why I wanted you to go first
because you know better than anybody else
about this particular topic.
What I'll add in and say is that censorship is real
no matter what it is.
I'm not even talking about religion.
I'm talking about what they want you to hear.
What they want you to hear.
I remember I did 60 Minutes. And I was like, I'm not fucking talking about religion. I'm talking about what they want you to hear. What they want you to hear. I remember I did 60 Minutes.
And I was like, I'm not fucking with snitches,
this, that, and the third.
And if a murderer been lived by my house,
da, da, I move.
They chopped that shit up so bad that I said about...
So basically, I did an interview years ago on 60 Minutes.
And I was saying, I'm not fucking with snitching.
People who snitch.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I remember that.
I remember you.
Right, but they chopped it up to,
you know,
Anderson Cooper and 60 Minutes crew
chopped it up to what they wanted
to chop it up to.
They didn't put in the part
that I was saying
that telling doesn't necessarily
lead to a conviction.
So you're in the neighborhood,
a rough neighborhood,
doesn't matter if it's Harlem
or California
or fucking Washington, D.C.,
whatever.
They tell you to tell
and you really don't have
any knowledge of the case
that goes on.
And I'll say what I said to them
being that they never aired it.
Yeah.
I said that you go and say
you're a little kid
and you see something happen.
Or not a little 15, 16 year old.
You see something happen.
And because you testify,
that doesn't mean you're going to get a guilty verdict.
Now the people that you told on,
which you had nothing to do with this situation,
you have to go face them every day.
And they didn't get convicted,
but you went and told on them
for some shit that had nothing to do with you.
Now you're the tattletale
or you're the snitch or you're the whatever.
It's consequences behind doing things
and you still have to go back
to that same neighborhood.
I'm not sitting here saying today
as a grown man,
if you have to go tell as an older lady
or an older man or something else,
cool, but a lot of times if you're stuck in a neighborhood,
an urban neighborhood, and you had nothing to do with the situation
and you may want to help, I get that.
But that doesn't mean you're going to get 100% conviction.
And now you got to look these same killers or robbers
or whatever you want to tell in the face because you didn't get convicted.
Same thing like what I was saying also,
and I said that they had the blue shield.
The cops don't tell on each other.
The cops do a bunch of foul shit to civilians or citizens
and beat the shit out of them.
Like, imagine if, and I know this is older as well,
and y'all could Google this,
imagine there wasn't any surveillance.
And them cops didn't even get convicted after that
anyway. But imagine it wasn't any
footage of Rodney King getting beat up
by 15, 16
cops. If it wasn't any footage of that,
it would have been like, yo, he tripped and fell.
That's how he broke his arm, his neck, his leg,
his knees, his teeth
is out. He just fell down some stairs.
That's how it goes.
So I just wanted to clear that up
because 60 Minutes botched my whole shit up
that made me seem like,
oh, Cam's just crazy.
They didn't put any of the points that I said behind,
any substance behind the points that I said.
But it's nobody else better to talk about
this particular topic than Mace?
And I'll leave that at that.
I think he summed it up really well.
Yeah, I agree.
And I think the thing about CJ Stroud,
he outwardly always talks about his faith and trust in God,
which, I mean, as an athlete or whoever you are,
you should be able to do that, especially nowadays.
It's kind of weird, I think,, because I mean, I believe in God.
I think it's weird that people can't outwardly speak on that
or it's like, it has to be edited.
I think that's very weird because that's part of him.
So why should anybody have to hide that?
Just like if you practice Islam and you,
like you are speaking to Allah,
like if that's what you believe in,
that should be allowed.
So cutting that out, yeah, they're going to get a lot of heat for it and people are going to call them out. I'm
curious as to how they're going to respond to the situation because they might just brush past it.
But I think that's not OK. So we will see the results. But I think it's very weird behavior
personally. OK, next, it was announced Jason Kelsey is retiring,
but he never shared the news with a reporter.
Apparently, it was leaked from a teammate in the locker room
after their final game.
But how do you feel about the way it was done?
If he, did he, did Jason Kelsey confirm that the teammate was right no he never confirmed nor
denied anything yes and what did why would the teammate just blurt that out did he get paid
extra or does he just want to seem like he gets the information first by jason kelsey i come back
off the strength like yo my nigga you don't know if he's retired or not. Look, everybody's saying he was retiring after the game.
He looks pretty
old as far as center.
You know, this is the guy, Paws, who's hiking
the fucking ball to
Jalen Hurts. I think he
had a tremendous career.
If he is retiring, man, salute to you.
I think you've done a great job
with the Philadelphia Eagles.
And you come from a great football
family as far as the teammates concerned
I just don't understand why he was
said and it's still
no confirmation you know
these are the stories that I'll be like I don't really want
to indulge on it because
it may be a nigga just running his mouth it may have been
a nigga in the locker room like
me and Mason in the locker room talking like
I think I'm going to wrap this shit up. I think I'm going to retire.
And then Stat goes running and be like,
yo, Cam's retiring.
You know, like, yo,
he wasn't ear hustling, you know,
what that lead to.
You know exactly what that lead to.
That's exactly what I heard.
Ear hustling.
Yeah, man.
You know, niggas know the chain of command after you start ear tussling, man. No pillow talking back. You know, niggas know the chain of command
after you start here.
That's what I get for that.
I think he overheard him talking to somebody else
and went and ran his mouth like he had the information first.
But if it is the case, I like Travis.
I mean, Jason Kelsey.
Salute, bro.
Great career.
I like Travis.
I mean, Jason, Kelsey, salute, bro, and great career.
Yeah, I think for him to realistically go out and say that,
I definitely would want to know who said it,
especially if it's somebody that's on a team.
Like, you don't be doing that.
Who did that on the Lakers one time?
Who was the nigga name that did that, went out and said, yo, you know your man be cheating? Who did that on the Lakers one time? Who was the nigga name that did that?
Went out and said, yo, you know your man be cheating.
Who did that?
D'Angelo Russell.
Yeah, D'Angelo.
That's probably why they not winning at the Lakers, man.
It's like you don't want somebody around that does that.
And especially even if you're a Heisman.
Remember Charlie Ward did the same thing. It's it's like bro you can't be doing that like especially spreading secrets of the team because then there's
no trust in the locker room and it might be somebody that probably won his position it hustling
and putting it out there getting the story going yeah I agree me, that's like hater energy because even when people
like leak somebody's pregnancy, if they
told you not to tell somebody, why would
you go? Especially if that's like a sentimental moment
with y'all, you know, last game of the
season. That's just not your business
to tell anybody
and definitely not a reporter.
So weird again.
Last thing before we end the show,
Gerard Mayo,
the first black coach in Patriots history
and now the NFL's youngest coach,
said during his introductory press conference,
I do see color because I believe
if you don't see color,
you can't see racism.
What do you think about him saying that
during his introductory speech?
That's going to be, that's one of those things, if you start out with that kind of explosive statement, you better win. You better win,
because you put the bullseye on yourself, Paul, by even making a statement like that.
I think some statements are just,
you don't have to say to make a grand entrance,
but that was definitely a grand entrance.
And I wish him the best.
I hope he does very well because that statement needs to be followed up
with a lot of wins.
Yeah, and look,
it's no secret, man.
Boston can be racist as a motherfucker.
It's for real.
That shit is a racist tale, man.
Not saying that ain't niggas up there.
Shout out to my niggas, New Edition, that OG and the Bulldogs
and everybody at Roxbury and all them niggas
and the young and up-and-coming niggas.
But Boston is racist, man.
And look, even back in the days, niggas...
You ain't shout out Benzino.
Yeah, Benzino moved, though. days shout out Benzino yeah Benzino moved though shout out to Benzino shout out to
everybody up there but that shit
is a racist city like you know
even sports
related I remember
even though they had the chief Robert Parrish
and all that it's changed now like
it's super duper changed now
because you know times went on.
But Boston used to be the white team
and the Lakers used to be the black team.
That's just the way it used to be.
Larry Bird against Magic Johnson,
black against white,
and that's what made the league move forward.
Period.
You know, Boston has a tundra
of fucking black players since then.
You know, and don't get me wrong.
They had Dennis.
What was it?
Dennis Scott murdered?
Dennis?
Was it Dennis Scott?
Yeah, Dennis Scott.
Yeah, Dennis Scott, Robert Parrish.
Reggie Lewis, Scott, Buster Dad.
Had a few tokens.
Yeah, hit some token, niggas.
But just as a city overall,
it's known to be pretty racist. but just as a city overall, um,
it's known to be pretty racist and hopefully it isn't like that today, but I'm pretty sure racism is everywhere.
And you being a nigga coaching the Patriots,
making that statement,
Mesa,
that shit right.
You better win and win fast,
nigga.
Expeditiously,
T.I. voice. run and win fast, nigga. Expeditiously, T.I. voice.
You better run fast, nigga.
You do not get a big window.
Run in your mouth like that.
You know he wasn't there with his mother.
His mother would have told him,
don't go up there and say what you thinking.
Yeah, exactly.
Do not.
Yeah, he must have had his Yeezys on, nigga.
You got to be careful up there talking that shit with racism, exactly. Do not. Yeah, he must have his Yeezys on, nigga. You got to be careful up there talking that shit with racism.
Right now, they ain't going to make it racism, but you better win.
I'll tell you that.
Yeah, my mother would have slapped me in the back of my head when I came off there.
Why did you go up there and say that?
Yeah.
And when he being up, first of all,
up there is one of the worst places to say it.
It ain't like you in New York or Philly,
nigga.
You went up there and said it.
Bugging, nigga.
You better win.
He went in his DeJingo bag, boss.
You got to be careful, man.
Well, salute to him.
He is making history and he's standing on business
with his views.
So we'll see what happens
next season.
Stand on business
until it goes wrong.
Stand on business.
Yes.
Yeah, that nigga will be
standing in the unemployment line.
He don't fucking win.
I'm telling you that much.
He got a certain amount of time
to get that shit done.
Don't listen to Stats.
Stats gonna set y'all
up for failure.
Never that.
Never that.
And y'all,
I'm gonna come back
with this list
so we can discuss it
next episode.
Yeah.
But that's all the time
we have for today.
Thanks for watching.
And as always,
it is what it is.
