pink horsepower
after the show

Woo!
Woo! Woo! M Mostie came home.
He came home.
He came home, man.
That's what's up, man.
Thank you so much, bro.
I appreciate the opportunity.
Come on, man.
We got much more to do outside of this, man.
Definitely.
Okay. So let's start with some insight. Let's talk about leveraging your brand. How do you
think someone, especially like a student athlete can do that? Yeah, this, uh, this, this is a
response, man, from, uh, it was a guy on Twitter and, uh, he was like, uh, he was talking to me
and he asked a question about, um, like me associate myself with Ohio state. Right. And he was like he was talking to me and he asked a question about like me associate myself with Ohio State.
Right. And he was saying like in a funny way. And I was like, my man, I don't think that you get it.
Right. And I'll connect these conversations to other stuff that we plan on talking about in the show.
And I said, man, when these people come to you and they come and get you out of high school, like you see a lot of these high school kids,
they go into their parents' houses and they promise and all these things and what they'll do to these kids.
Right. And the fact of the matter is, is that there's only a small percentage of guys who are going to make it to the NFL, make it to the NBA or make it to be professional.
And for those who don't make it, man, you have to leverage all of your experiences and everything that you have prior to.
all of your experiences and everything that you have prior to. And so in my case, Ohio State was how everybody knew me. And it's like anybody who's had any experience where you've created value into
the world, if you choose to be bitter and stay away from people or be resentful for things that
happened in your past and not associate yourself or even know how to leverage it, you won't get
everything from what the university said that they were going to give you. And in my case, I associate myself
with the brand to go around, to do business, to own companies, to buy real estate, to meet new
people, to have conversational pieces. And where the dude thought he was clowning me from associating
myself with the brand, I said, nah, bro, you ain't getting it. There's a lot of people who leave these universities and never get nothing from
them. And so what I would say is that, you know, just shifting perspective, when you can go to
these universities and things don't work out the way that you intended them to, if you've created
some value and people know you and you create like a memory for them, learn how to leverage
businesses, steal your identity back from the university.
Because believe you me, they represent the 2000,
they advertise the 2002 national championship
and they still make money, get fans and parade off of that.
But I don't get nothing from that.
So my way of sort of like taking my brand back
from the university is to wear this hat,
wear the clothes when I'm going in,
through and out in Ohio.
And, you know, that's how I do it.
You know what I'm saying?
So that was just like a question answered to a kid.
But I think it's a larger discussion
around guys who leave universities
and don't really get everything
that they thought that they would get
in the first place.
You want to chime in?
Well, what I would say is this to that,
and that's great how you do it,
because that's what, you know would say is this to that, and that's great how you do it, because
that's really interesting that I'm sitting here processing what you just said, because
now the kids get paid through NIL, and they're still selling stuff from memorabilia or whatever it may be from old championships,
whether it's the
Fab Five or the 2002
Ohio State Championship that you
are a part of. I'm sitting here
thinking to myself while you say this,
damn,
y'all still can't get paid because
it should be a statute
of limitations, so to speak.
Almost like they give you your jersey back.
Yeah, yeah.
At this point, you could use your jersey.
Right.
So let's say, for instance,
I know they may not retire
the Maurice Claret jersey,
but is there some way he could,
if somebody wants to buy it,
why can't he make 5% off of it
or 10% off of it
or whatever it is?
Because that seems almost super duper unfair that kids can get paid.
But being that the era before they was able to get paid, the people still can't get paid.
That's very interesting.
That's something that we may need to call the O'Bannon brothers about.
Had O'Bannon, they'll go get your money.
They'll go get your jersey for you.
Yeah, so that's very interesting, man.
Back to leverage the initial question,
leveraging your brand.
It's dope because now you don't necessarily,
so you got, let's say for instance,
you got the second highest paid NIL, I believe it was Peyton Manning, nephew, one of the Mannings.
He's not even starting yet or anything like that.
And I know that that's not maybe the best example because he comes from a family with money.
But for instance, let's just say he didn't.
You can make four, five, six million before you leave
college. So if you don't make it in the NFL, you need to figure out how to invest that money.
Because of course it may not last forever. I'm pretty sure they're not that frugal with $6
million going to last you forever, depending on your lifestyle and where you come from.
But at least you're able to make money before you go pro because you may have the best
college player in the world who may not pan out in the uh nfl like for instance let's use a great
example and not even not even nfl you got a heisman trophy winner charlie ward was it heisman
yeah okay he didn't even get drafted he ended up going to the NBA. So if he would have got all that college praise
and maybe make six or seven million in college,
his NFL career never panned out.
Now, I know he still went pro,
but what if he didn't make it in the NBA?
At least he could have had some money leaving college
to figure out what he wanted to do next
after his college career.
Now, a lot of 19-year-old, 19, 20, 21-year-old,
old in the 90s, early 2000s, even the early 2010s or mid-2010s don't have that much business savvy,
but we talked about this the other day, me, Mason Stat, about capitalizing off other people's mistakes and seeing where people
go wrong and what not to do and what may work for you or anything else. This is such a great
question because there's multiple answers and leveraging your own brand has, like I said,
there's multiple answers. I'm sitting here brainstorming while I'm talking to you.
Like, you see,
from your perspective,
you're saying,
fuck that.
I'm going to get my two cents
from when niggas
ain't give me my two cents.
You get what I'm saying?
Fuck that.
I'm throwing an Ohio hat on.
I'm throwing an Ohio State hat on.
I'm going to wear my jersey.
Whatever you can do because you saying, fuck that. They making money off of on. I'm going to wear my jersey. Whatever you can do, because you saying, fuck that.
They making money off of me.
I'm going to figure out how to get some of that back.
So, where a kid today may not necessarily have to do what you're doing.
So...
Yeah, he's going to get his money up front.
No, so...
No, I'm literally like, and I say it with no pun intended,
I'm going to get mine regardless, right?
Yeah, there you go.
So they not about to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, baby.
So they not about to associate with me.
They not about to deal with me.
But it's no difference that, imagine y'all trying to deny y'all past and disassociate everything that y'all ever been through.
And somebody get mad at y'all for leveraging everything that y'all
been through,
what y'all doing now?
It's the same thing.
But you have so many people
who become bitter
and they'll try to block
certain parts of their life off
and say,
nah, man,
this is who I am.
This is what I did.
And so I'm just getting
what they promised us.
You know what I'm saying?
And that was like my...
Mo, you just get saying? I like that.
Yeah.
Mo, that's crazy to think about because that's where I am right now.
That's what me and Killer been talking about behind the scenes.
How do I leverage my past when all this craziness going on?
I still need to get what I was supposed to get.
I understand y'all got a case going on.
I still need what I was promised.
Yeah, exactly.
Of 40 acres, you know?
Yeah, yeah, the reparations.
Yeah, the reparations.
Yeah, look, you know what's funny?
Listen, it's funny.
Your shit came through, and then the other shit came through.
Like, yo, why this happening when I'm about to get what I'm supposed to get?
Yeah.
I'm about to get on a plane.
I'm like, how do I leverage this, you know?
Yeah, I'm going to keep it 100.
I know you usually give me permission, but I ain't saying shit.
All right.
All right, damn, Moe, keep talking, you know?
Keep talking.
I know Moe does usually give me, that's a green light for me to go,
but I ain't going.
That's what I'm thinking.
Yeah, I'm thinking, how do I get my reparations
you know
yeah that's
that's an incredible
you know
that's what I said
it's really a lot
you know
it's like I said
because the question
is for
everybody
like you can
like you know
like we just
talked about
the Mannons
or Shador Sanders
or anybody now
who's
not a problem
but
yeah
others Moe and Mace
yeah you still
selling Dipset merch, you know?
How do I get what I was supposed to get?
Tell me, Moe.
Do I start selling shiny shoes?
How do I get my reparations, you know?
See the whole thing, bro?
You know, let me pull it down so you can see the merch that murder you know this
let me pull it down
so you can see the merch
that he's referring to
if you want to go to
Dipstick Couture
you can make sure
you can
see the thing about it was
is that
and like I said
and if y'all haven't
haven't gone seen
it came out yesterday
my interview on
All
and
All the Smoke
with Matt Barnes
and my man Stack Fiverr.
It was a great interview.
Yeah.
And I was talking about
how we kind of fell out
and all that shit.
So, you know,
and I was apologizing
and everything we talked about
or whatever,
I actually sent it to you.
But, you know,
I was in a fucked up deal.
A wild fucked up deal.
And this was my life on the line.
See, Mace found another path.
And during the,
when he found another path,
it just happened to be,
uh,
uh,
he was able to take care of himself,
so to speak,
through the path he was going on.
I,
this was it.
It was,
this is drugs for me.
And I'm like,
yo,
y'all niggas playing with my life.
So,
I fought my way, literally, like'all niggas playing with my life so I fought my way literally like like
niggas was saying if you ever watched straight out of Compton when Ice Cube went in there with the
with the bat and and fucked the office up that was Fisher Price to what I did the epic records
shout out to Dane McPherson everybody we cool now but you know what I had to do to get out that deal I was like y'all playing with my life at
22 years old and and it became physical really like I'm not cap it really became physical so
that's why I was sitting there saying I was thinking when Mace said that I'm like damn man I
wish me and Mace was speaking well he wasn't in music anymore but if if he was, I was like, damn, the same niggas I bought with me, I kind of took over to get your shit right or whatever. But yo, that's a great question.
How do you guys benefit from not being, from getting jerked around, so to speak? If that's
not the right term to use, but,
but yeah, y'all niggas definitely need reparations.
What you was going to say,
what you got to tell them to say?
Yeah, no, I was just going to like,
and there's a ton of people who watch this stuff, right?
And, and I get so many direct messages
being from former athletes
and just a ton of people, right?
And as much stuff as you can do, like don't show athletes and just a ton of people, right? And as much stuff
as you can do, like don't show up and just show up for the free dinner, the free lunch or the free
liquor that they're going to give you. You know what I'm saying? Man, get back down to these
universities, man, get yourself invested into like some level of ownership inside of a company
that you can either lend your brand to or that you can put some capital into that you can own something.
And that's probably like my biggest gripe with former players with anything like, you know, guys take like pennies, you know, or they take like whatever somebody is going to give them instead of thinking like that.
Like when you're an athlete and you're performing out there, right, you got so much ego, you got so much confidence, you have so much,
so much you feel like you have to offer. But when it's time to come to business,
these dudes get treated like, for lack of better words, slaves. And it's all because like,
they'd be happy to be invited to somebody's golf outing or happy to be invited to somebody's nonprofit giveaway or something like that. And it's really me encouraging them saying,
hey, man, look, man, you have to buckle down
and become more than what you are.
You know what I'm saying?
And just somebody who accepts more than scraps
from either the fan base, alumni,
or somebody who's connected to your program.
Dope.
Yeah, that was good insight from all parties.
On that note, we're going to go to the next question.
UCLA coach Chip Kelly has made a lot of comments recently,
especially when it comes to trying new things. So Maurice, can you give us your analysis on the message he's
trying to relay? Yeah, the biggest piece that he talked about that I think that Jim Harbaugh has
been talking about was that you should separate the actual football team
from every other sport, right? And it's sort of like how Notre Dame does it. Notre Dame,
when it comes to football, is independent, but then there are other teams, I think they play
in the Big East, but if I'm wrong, somebody, I'm sure they'll correct me, right? But he said, man,
take these 132 teams, put us in two conferences split between the East and the West and play seven games where you have like an inter-conference teams on your coast.
And then to appease the larger TV contracts.
And so teams can play other conferences, play seven out of conference games with teams all around the country.
teams all around the country. But the biggest thing he's talking about that Jim Harbaugh talked about that no coaches talked about before outside of these two was share the TV revenue and have
these coaches paying or have these schools paying the players. And I thought that when he said that
to double down on back of what Harbaugh has said and did for him to say it, it made me realize
something. One, I said, man, the only dudes who are going to push this message are like former NFL coaches
who had coached in the NFL.
They financially set and they just call the stuff for what it is.
I don't really see no current college coaches who have been in the system or still feel
like that they got years to climb.
I don't see these guys pushing the same message.
But the fact that he has so
much notoriety, the fact that he's pushing this conversation, and the fact that this entire week,
that same viral video has been getting played throughout the week, it just comes to a point
where you have to have discussion. And I have like two athletic directors who follow me, right?
And when I shared the video inside of my thread, I see they liked it, right? And they may not be
the ones to articulate it, but when more people start to talk about stuff like this, like you ask yourself, like, do they become soft?
Or are they allowed to then have this conversation and say, OK, this is the right thing to do.
So I don't know. Like, thank God for social media. Thank God for the conversation.
Thank God for social media.
Thank God for the conversation.
And I hope that more athletic directors at least begin to introduce the conversation
so you can start to, you know,
Well, thanks, Maurice.
That was very, very good insight.
Okay, moving along.
Former Super Bowl champ Derek Ward was arrested
and is facing five second-degree robbery charges.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Yo, killer, come on, man.
What?
You don't hear how loud that is?
It's actually nails, man.
Yo, bro.
Yo, listen.
It's flying.
I'm usually good at ignoring,
but it's going everywhere.
No, now niggas is trying to play me.
Now y'all trying to play me.
My sister's crazy.
It's like wood chips, yo.
It's like wood chips you know it's like wood chips
flying around
yo
she's a dirty dick
listen
she was the last
this won't happen again
I'll get my schedule together
I apologize
my bad y'all
I apologize
it is kind of loud
it's irking me a little bit
I can hear it out here, man.
You get it out there, right?
Nah, it's crazy.
I ain't gonna lie.
Killa is crazy.
My bad.
It's kind of irking.
She on the left.
Thank you, man.
My bad.
It's irking me too,
but woodchips is wild for us.
He definitely got you with that one.
Okay.
Moving along,
former Super Bowl champ Derek Ward
was arrested
and is facing five second degree
robbery charges
for allegedly robbing five businesses.
This is just a very open-ended question.
Why do you think it's come to this point?
Must be the money.
I didn't research this topic
before we got to it.
When did he win the Super Bowl
what year?
2008
and what he been doing since?
that I don't know
yeah I mean listen
I don't think he won the Super Bowl
and went and robbed a nigga
I mean this sounds like clear cut
he's fucked up
I don't know
I didn't even cheat
and do any homework you know I couldn't even cheat and do any homework.
You know,
I couldn't sit here
and do the due diligence
and find out exactly
what's been going on
to his life right now.
This sounds like
a nigga who's fucked up.
What's the exact charges?
It just says
five second degree
robbery charges.
Yeah.
Because he allegedly
robbed five businesses.
So five second degree robbery charges. Oh, allegedly robbed five businesses so five second degree
robbery charges
so this was one
that's the question Mo
was it one night
was it
over a course of time
was he high
and just went crazy
yeah
so
it's two things to it
right
so I think it was like
anytime you have
something wild like this
somebody either getting high
getting drunk or
you know substance use gonna play its role in right? And so when I looked at it,
I was like, man, you know, guys get done playing and even when they're playing, they don't, you
know, they're not responsible physically with their money. And then when they're done and they
got the same lifestyle, you know, stuff started to crumble, the pressure get them, they go back
to who they are, you know? So I've been talking about since the beginning of the
season, just improving yourself, but this is a result of it, right? And it made me think,
and I don't know how much y'all keep up, just what, I don't know if y'all know Chandler Jones.
He's a John Jones little brother, right? And so he's sort of like, he's a lot richer,
but he's going through something else online, like to the public.
Right. Or he having like just like these episodes and, you know, he been drinking and he been smoking.
And then it kind of get me into the space where I'm like, man, just on a on a on a serious note, how being a former athlete not been there.
Right. Or you have a mental health issues issues, you having who am I issues,
you having like, how do I transition issues? And just like looking at that stuff, like looking at Derek Ward, I see myself in that where you be in a spot in life and just your life is crazy.
It's a mess, right? And then when I look at Chandler Jones, I also look at him. He's a little
bit younger than me, but you look at these dudes where they be in these different spots, but it
goes to go back to the importance of, man, taking care of yourself while you're in college
and taking just life and education serious
and planning and preparing.
But, you know, this is just another case of that,
you know, say you wish that,
you know, my man wasn't in a situation,
but I think it's like substance use disorder
or some sort of alcohol that got my man jammed up
and doing this wild stuff.
That's what I'm saying.
Was this over a course of time or was this one night?
I think it's one night.
Yeah, we don't know yet, but it
says he went on a robbery spree and he
had no firearms, so he just kind of... Oh, he was
fucked up one night. And I don't know
his financial situation. And look,
I never want to talk about this
because both of these guys
are like my niggas, my niggas, like
super duper my niggas, what Iiggas, like super duper my niggas
when I'm about,
what I'm about to talk about.
I'm talking about,
I'm sorry,
I'm going to bring up
Gilbert Arenas and Stack Fiverr.
Stack Fiverr was just
at the crib the other day.
Like Stack Fiverr
and Matt Barnes,
that's how I was on their show
but them,
it's more than a show
with them niggas
and with Gilbert.
I have super duper
great, great friendships
with them
outside of this shit that we do here,
all the sports shows and them being former NBA players
and everything else, and I seen them,
they both had two different perspectives on something.
And I was like, damn, I kind of feel both of them.
And I know, I was like, I'm just going to mind my business
because them is equally my niggas.
Like I told you, Matt Barnes and fucking, Bam Barnes called me
he was at Harlem two days ago
talking about where
the seafood spot at.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So, but I want to bring up a topic
that they had two different
perspectives on.
And I don't know
Ward's situation.
I don't know if he has money.
I don't know if he's fucked up.
You know,
it's a bunch of celebrities
who shoplift with millions of dollars.
It just gives them a thrill.
I forget that white girl's name.
No disrespect.
I'm making it a color thing.
But I put in a couple bars some years ago.
She's a millionaire, but she gets a high on shoplifting.
I don't know what it's about.
My man in the booth, he know who I'm talking about in there. I don't know what it's about. You know, everything, my man in the booth,
he know what I'm talking about in there. I can't think of a name, but what I was going to say is,
I don't know his financial situation, but I'll just say this. And it sounds like he's all right.
It might sound like he just was fucked up one night, but I'll bring this into play as well.
as well.
So,
Gilbert Arenas said
that
it was a topic
to where
would you rather
get 300 million
and no championship
or 50 million
and leave your career
with a championship?
And Gilbert Arenas
take was
give him the 300 million
and no championship.
And Stack 5
perspective was,
nigga, I want to be a champion.
I'll take the 50 million.
He said, we from the hood.
You know, 50 million,
we'll make it look like 200 million.
So Gilbert Arenas went back.
You know, they wasn't coming at each other,
but they'll go on their live,
I mean, on their feed.
So I'm sitting there going,
the couple days looking at both,
they feel like,
damn, I wish these niggas would stop, man.
I love both these niggas.
I would take the three.
Yeah, so Gilbert Arenas
went on his,
back to his page,
you know,
because they're not
saying each other's name.
Yeah.
But you know what
they're talking about.
So Gilbert Arenas
went back and said,
he went online and said,
NBA champions,
championship ring,
$2,200 right now.
So niggas,
niggas who was fucked up
who had NBA championship rings
was selling their rings.
And I've seen both sides
of the equation
and the reason I bring
this up
is because
the first thing
that we said
before this Robbins spree
and like I said
I don't know his financial situation
He was a champ.
The Super Bowl champ.
Super Bowl champ.
That's the first
that's how you lead it off. So you sit there and lead it off. The Super Bowl champ. That's how you lead it off.
So you sit there and lead it off
and say Super Bowl champ.
Next thing you think is he broke, fucked
up, crazy, whatever.
Something happened.
But Dan Marino ain't got no
championship and you don't hear about this
shit with Dan Marino.
You know what I'm saying?
So,
I'm not going to even
give my opinion on...
Yeah, they did say
this guy beat on
Tom Brady in 2008
and next year he was cut.
Yeah, exactly.
This is the shit
they bring up.
So, I'm not going to
give my opinion on
Gilbert's take
or Sack 5 take
even though I got one.
But,
you know,
them is my niggas so I'm not going to give what I really take.
Because I got an opinion, but I mind my business.
Which one were you taking, the 50 or the 300?
That's why I'm not giving an opinion.
I mind my business.
I'll be with you.
Hey, man, I'm taking the 300.
All right, no killer going to take the 300.
That nigga definitely taking the 300. All right, no killer going to take the 300. That nigga
definitely taking
the 300.
If anybody
taking the 300,
killer's taking
the 300.
Killer,
buy my championship.
Yo,
we from Harlem.
I'm taking
the 300.
I'll buy a championship.
Yeah, man,
but I understand
Stackify point of view
as well, you know what I'm saying?
No, I understood it
from Titletown.
I get it.
Yeah, just all you
talking about is Titletown.
I understand exactly
what he's saying.
Yeah, but we led
this segment off
with saying Super Bowl champ,
so that's why I bought
that situation up.
Yeah, nigga was a champ.
They beat Tom Brady 2008.
He gets cut.
He get cut, you know, shipped over to the Texans.
That don't work out.
And here we are in robbery with the ring.
This ring might be up for sale too.
For all we know.
Okay.
And last topic before we go to break,
there is a conversation
circulating from Smush Parker
where he revealed
Kobe Bryant wouldn't talk to him
for two seasons
even though he had a locker next to him.
He said he tried to have
a regular chat with him
about football
and Kobe told him,
you can't talk to me.
You need more accolades
under your belt.
He said he was dead serious
and that set the tone.
Thoughts?
Yo, Mo,
before me and Maze give our opinion,
was you that good in college
that you ever told a nigga,
yo, don't talk to me
till further notice?
I know how I told some niggas that.
When I say my man,
that's the epitome of mama mentality.
When I see in the interview,
I laugh, right?
And Smush Parker looked hurt
when he was talking about it, right?
And I said, man,
I just don't know what I would do
if I was next to somebody
and you view yourself as a peer
because y'all both in the same league
and then a man look you straight in the
face and tell you don't talk to him like
basically you on the team
but we ain't in the same space
at the professional level I can see
you do that to a dude at the collegiate level
and because you know you going pro
but when you do it at the professional level
it made me just laugh and chuckle I said
man this dude Kobe was a real killer like me just laugh and chuckle. I said, man, this dude, Kobe, was a real killer.
Like, for you to tell your teammate that, I said, this dude was ice cold, bro.
He was here to play basketball, and that was it.
When is Kobe's birthday?
That sounds like something I would have said.
Yep, August 23rd.
Now you and Kobe the same sign.
Here we go. I knew it. I knew it. August 27th. Kill it you and Kobe the same sign here we go I knew it
I knew it
August 27th
kill it
I know your birthday
I know when your birthday
that's why
I don't believe
I think that was premeditated
I think you knew
when Kobe's birthday
was before this
and now
if that's the case
me and Michael Jordan
is Aquarius
so how do you want to do it
if you know that's the case, me and Michael Jordan is Aquarius. How do you want to do it?
That's what we doing.
Me and Mike's Aquarius.
If that's what we doing, we going off sides.
Me and Mike and you and Kobe. Yeah, yeah.
Me, Kobe, and Michael Jackson.
Oh, that's a good one.
You want to get, now we doing this.
All right.
Bet.
When we come back from break, I'm going to fly somebody.
Since we on Michael.
I don't even know You can't really
Well Prince was an Aquarius too
Since we doing that
Okay
Nah I don't know if Prince
I don't know
I'm just making shit up
Mike and Aquarius dog
I don't know if Prince
Look
I'ma be honest with you man
The nigga
This
Look Smush
Alright cool
Alright fuck it This has to be said First of, man. The nigga, this, look, smush. All right, cool. All right, fuck it.
This has to be said.
First of all, I heard way worse Kobe stories.
Yeah.
I heard way worse shit from better players.
Way worse shit like, yo, from Kobe.
Kobe used to say, Shaq, you're fat,
and you didn't come in shape this year,
and we're not going to win unless you get in shape.
He sit there and tells Ron Artest,
when Ron Artest comes to the Lakers,
you're replacing Trevor Ariza.
And he was very important to this team.
So you better be here early
and do what you're supposed to do
and be the official Laker
that you're supposed to be.
You know, so this is why
towards the end of Kobe career,
and this is where to me
separates LeBron from Kobe
and not basketball-wise, LeBron the GM.
Yeah.
I'm not going to be the asshole because I want people to come play me.
You couldn't find nobody who wanted to come play with Kobe
towards the end of his career.
It was just too much to deal with stories like this.
And you'd be like, man, I ain't going to the Lakers, man. It's just too much to deal with stories like this. And you'd be like, man, I ain't going to like this, man.
It's just too much to deal with from this nigga.
So LeBron, to a certain extent, he has camaraderie with his teammates.
He educates them more.
I see his facial expressions sometimes.
He'd be like, man, I want to fuck this nigga up.
You see, like, did you see the play the other night
when he threw the pass to Anthony Davis?
And Anthony Davis was limping.
Did you see that shit?
It's like LeBron, like, yo, it's like almost, and shout out to my nigga.
But when J.R. Smith was off the Henny and he got the rebound and was about to go to
the alpha basket, LeBron was like, yo, what are you doing?
But you know, LeBron probably sees that like, yo, I got to calm down because I want people
to come play on me.
I'll say this, man.
And Smush is from New York.
We talked about Austin Reeves
yesterday with Mark Jackson
and Mark Jackson said he was,
it'd be a great team for,
he'll be a great player for some NBA team.
And Mason, myself, pardon me,
said that Austin Reeves,
pardon me, I said Austin Reeves,
Austin Rivers, excuse me not
austin reese austin rivers doc rivers son ain't shit and we had to leave the show disagreeing
with mark jackson after we had a great show we had 58 great minutes with mark jackson then he said
that shit and we was like mark we're gonna end the show on a bad note because I have to agree with Mace and say Austin
Rivers ain't shit. And the reason I'm bringing that up is because Smush Park is from New York
and you're worse than Austin Rivers. You really ain't shit. So at the end of the day, I fuck with
you Smush. I know you. You my man. I think I could beat you. I think if you went to the Lakers,
I had a chance. Emer had a chance to go to the Lakers. We just was shorter than you. I think if you went to the Lakers, I had a chance. Emery had a chance to go to the Lakers.
We just was shorter than you.
You lucky Kobe
ain't slapped the shit out you,
nigga.
Even trying to speak to him.
Average you about
a double, double,
and six assists
before you speak to that man.
That's the best bet
that you could do.
It had to be said,
and I hate to do this
to a native New Yorker,
but yo,
you could have kept
that story to yourself.
That shit wasn't
like you deserve.
You went to Fordham
with A-Butter.
Like, A-Butter, my nigga,
you went to Fordham University.
You lucky you made it
to the NBA.
Yeah, told me to owe you
nothing, nigga.
Yeah, he don't know you, man.
I didn't know you.
I know you're sneaking
in the league every day, bitch.
That's a fact, man. So you could have kept that story to yourself, bitch. That's a fact, man.
So you could have kept that story to yourself, man.
You have more points in the NBA than me.
I don't know about who else.
You know, I don't really.
The only thing I remember is that you played for the Lakers.
I can't remember a highlight, a dunk, a three-point, a buzzer beater.
Do you remember anything?
I remember Kobe saying, Kobe told Steve Nash,
this nigga snuck in the league.
Oh, yeah.
Shit like that.
Don DeMarco.
Yeah.
Kobe said, yeah, this nigga snuck in the league.
So, sorry, Smusha.
I think Doc Rivers is better than you,
and I don't think he's that good.
You think Rivers is better than Smush?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to give him that.
I'm going to give him better than Smush.
You think Smush is just as good as Rivers?
No, I don't know about that.
Because Rivers was nice
in high school
I thought he was
gonna be one of the ones
yeah and then
he had a longer
you know he's probably
about his 10th or 11th
year in the NBA right now
I mean don't get me wrong
he's a good journeyman
he's a good journeyman
he's
I mean
I'm not mad at him
it's a 7th or 8th player
off the
off the bench
my only problems
with Rivers is
that he says things
when he's off the court
that he's not good enough to say.
Like you're,
you say,
well,
the league isn't doing this.
And,
and look at how long he's dribbling and,
and they're kissing this person's asses.
And you don't,
you don't get that.
You know,
you Doc Rivers son.
And let me ask you this.
You think he would have made it in the league if he wasn't Doc Rivers' son?
He was McDonald's.
Yeah, but he always was Doc Rivers' son when he was McDonald's, too.
Mm.
Would he be McDonald's if he wasn't Doc Rivers' son?
No, he would have been.
He was more.
He was crazy in high school.
Listen, I lived in Orlando around that time.
I know. He was crazy. He's 6'4 as a high school. Listen, I lived in Orlando around that time. I know.
He was crazy.
He's 6'4".
As a high school player, you know he's a high school guard at 6'4".
Yeah.
Kind of bullying.
I seen him play.
He was dunking.
He was bad at flanking and all that.
You do the massage too?
Not today.
I didn't know you wanted to do the shoulder.
Oh, no.
I ain't just trying. I ain't my bad. I ain't know you wanted to do the shoulder. Oh, no. I ain't just trying.
I ain't my bad, my bad.
I'm trying to go.
I'm going to push the envelope.
I'm going to push the envelope, man. I'm sorry. My bad.
I forgot who I was talking to.
The body rubbage was in there.
The body rubbage.
But, yeah,
I just, I don't think that you're right, Mace. in there. He's in the body, bro, baby. But, yeah, I just, I don't think that, you're right, Mace.
He was real.
I was living in Orlando at the time, and he was talked about,
and he was really good.
But, see, the reason I bring that up, you got to realize Doc Rivers
is also the coach of the Orlando Magic at the time.
Yeah.
So I'm thinking about all that stuff at the same time.
But I think he's a decent NBA player, seventh, eighth man off the bench,
not necessarily a sixth man.
Yeah, I thought he would have had a better career
if he would have went to a different team.
He went to the wrong team.
If he would have went to San Antonio, he would have had a better career.
He's been to several teams.
He was on Denver.
You're right.
Okay, well,
I'll leave the Smush Parker
and Austin Rivers
debate up to the viewers,
but we're going to go to break.
What do you think, Seth?
It sounds like you got an opinion.
I really don't have
a good opinion.
Is that like
light-skinned niggas?
Whoa, never said that.
We're going to go to break.
We're going to return.
We will talk about
Rucker Park. We will talk about record park.
Maybe I'm a problem.
She's out of here and I don't know.
What's happening?
Me won't fall.
Dealing with this thing called trust.
But she really thinking about wanting to be free.

We are joined back
with our analyst,
Maurice Claret.
Okay.
So before we get into
a couple of the games,
Maurice,
I know you had some
recent realizations
about Rucker Park.
So would you like to share those?
Oh, yeah. So when you like to share those?
Oh, yeah.
So when I was looking it up,
I was about to make a shirt for something in regards to Rucker Park.
I was about to do Ali Mo.
And then when I went down the history of it,
I never knew it was called
the Entertainer's Basketball League.
And I never knew it was a heart like this.
And I was like, man,
I didn't know none of this stuff existed.
So I had a bunch of,
well, not a bunch of questions questions but I just wanted to hear stories from um you know Mason Cam about just Rucker Park you know maybe it's just like some stuff that went on
around the game that a lot of people didn't know you know most of the stuff you hear is like just
from our rapper sponsored teams but I'm pretty sure it was more the essence of Harlem the essence
of the city or what was going on around it. So those are just my
inquiring thoughts, just basically
being a fan and just not even realizing it was in Harlem.
Well,
Rucker
Park is legendary, and
I'm a legend in Rucker Park,
actually. I was 16 years
old and won the championship and
MVP, all type of shit at
16 years old. This is shit I was doing in 1992.
You know what I'm saying?
I beat Future.
I beat Speedy.
Half man, half a man.
Mo Black was on the team.
It was crazy.
So I'm just going to give my accolades before anything else.
I went crazy that year.
The two niggas, the two best guards, supposedly,
was a guy named Future.
He was really,
you know,
he used to dance and do all types of shit.
Speedy,
he was in a movie
Above the Room.
And I gave them
the business that year.
In 1992,
it was my year
and I killed niggas.
But seriously,
and not seriously,
that's no cap.
But growing up,
it was a big deal.
Rucker Park,
you know,
what happened is this.
A man named Mr. Mosley used to run Rucker Park. And it was, it was a big deal, Rucker Park. You know, what happened is this. A man named Mr. Mosley used to run Rucker Park.
And it was super dope.
It was lit.
And he passed away, and a guy named Greg started to run it.
And what Greg did was, it's kind of, I don't know how much history
and how old people ought to know about wrestling.
But WWF was ran by Vince McMahon's father.
And when Vince McMahon's father died, Vince McMahon took it over,
and Vince McMahon turned it into the WWF.
It turned out to be eventually WWE for people who was like,
what is Cam talking about, WWF?
It was WWF before it was WWE.
But he got Hulk Hogan.
He got Randy Savage.
He started getting Ultimate Warrior.
He took it to the next level.
And that's what Greg did for Rucker Park.
He started getting sponsors from Def Jam,
from different record companies.
Yeah, Bad Boy.
Bad Boy started turning it into Rapper's League
and so on and so forth.
But you forget about the people
like Terminator
and the Dancing Doogee
and a whole bunch of different people.
Because this is one time
I seen Fat Joe doing an interview.
And Fat Joe was like,
was Cam really good in ball like that?
Because people be telling me
Cam seen what was playing ball,
but I see him in celebrity game
and he look kind of tight
and all that.
This is what I'm talking about Fat Joe's my nigga
that's my man
but you the new Rucker
yeah he's the new Rucker
you the
you the
Vince McMahon Rucker
I'm from
Ivan Pusky
Junkyard Dog
Iron Sheik
yeah
Iron Sheik
Bob Backlund
I'm from that
that era
so
when
they turned
when Greg took Rucker over he got y'all rappers you know I'm not saying y' when they turned when Greg took Ruck over
he got y'all rappers
you know
I'm not saying y'all
cause we're rappers
but
but at the end of the day
it was a whole different dynamic
before Greg got there
and that was the essence of it
there's so many people
you know
and like
like my
my little bro
A Butter
he got a lot of footage
from
Rucker Park
you know if you want to check it out his page is Butter Butter World I believe on Instagram A Butter, he got a lot of footage from Rucker Park.
You know,
if you want to check it out,
his page is Butter Butter World,
I believe,
on Instagram.
He puts up a lot of stuff from Rucker
where he played probably
from like 2001 to 2008 and 9.
And when he hashtags,
there's no offense
because this is my little bro
and he killed up there.
Yeah.
But he puts the golden era
and I'll be like,
that's your golden era.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, the real golden era, the real golden era and I'll be like that's your golden era you know what I'm saying
yeah the real golden era
the real golden era
um
Rucker
is when it was like
Rambo
and Jim Ice
and all of them
type of niggas
and that was when
it was a drug dealers league
it wasn't even rappers
then it was
right
when I was living up there
it was a drug
yeah you was up
I forgot you was on A-Faff you've been all over all of the things, when I was living up there, it was a drug dealer. Oh yeah, you was up, I forgot you was on AFAP
and you've been all over
when I was up over there
and all that. When I was over there, it was a drug
dealer's league. It wasn't for basketball.
Right, and listen, a lot of people
Straight niggas. Right, and I'm not saying
shout out to Mousy, Mousy out of
Team North, and I'm not saying that
this, and Mason's 100% right, and I'm
not calling this guy a drug dealer, I'm not saying that this guy and Mason's 100% right and I'm not calling this guy a drug dealer
I'm just saying
I remember Juan
y'all
a lot of people
know him as
OG Juan
from
Peter Shue
and all that
that's the
that's the rocker
I know
remember we had a fight
with Peter Shue
I don't even know
if you remember that
yeah Peter Shue
niggas like
oh shit
Peter Shue
was the first nigga
with the
with the
fanny pack shit before niggas that's the rocker I know that's a fact Peter Shue was the first nigga with the fanny pack shit before niggas had it.
Yeah, that's the real guy I know.
That's a fact.
When you couldn't come in the park.
Yeah.
When you was playing killer, I was on the fence.
I coached you to the MVP.
Listen, man, I remember, man.
He was my bro.
You'll kill a girl now.
Yo, that championship was for all of us. You're going crazy. Yeah, championship was for all of us.
You going crazy.
Yeah, that was for all of us because it was nobody.
We couldn't believe it.
They said, yo, this nigga kill out.
They're going crazy.
We almost cried.
We might have cried because no young nigga played in Rutgers.
After that, a bunch of young niggas started playing.
But I was the first teenager to play and bust ass in the championship.
We couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it because it was like a grown man's league and Mr. Mosley gave me opportunity but Mason's right we could I couldn't even believe the shit I was
like yo this is kind of crazy let me ask you a question so is it like a tournament so I really
don't know I've only seen it through social like not social media but like old and one mixtapes is it a tournament for like a week is it a weekend or like what is actually
when people talk about record park or the tournament like what i guess what is it
um in the beginning it was in the beginning it was just you you had the you it was like show off
it was like the proof that you could bring a player from the furthest place you could possibly get a player from.
Like, niggas were bringing people from.
I remember when they brought, who was the first person?
Was it Vince?
It was somebody crazy.
Yeah, listen.
And that's one thing I will give Fat Joe credit for.
And Jay-Z as well.
They started bringing Kobe Bryant.
Yeah.
Allen Iverson,
fucking LeBron James.
Well, Steph was from New York already,
but, you know, when niggas started flying in,
the niggas from out, you know,
that's when niggas was like,
oh, Rucker Park done got crazy.
You know, it started getting police barricades
and so on and so forth.
It was just wild, reckless in the beginning. It wasn't no barricades and so on and so forth. It was just wild, reckless in the beginning.
It wasn't no barricades.
You climb on a tree.
It's a bridge over there.
You would sit on a bridge.
It's even projects directly across the street
where niggas would go on the roof of the projects.
Yeah, or sit on top where the school was,
the elementary school, the roof.
Right, exactly.
So to answer the question, question though it is a tournament
you know
you play
eight
nine games
and the team
the four five six teams
who make the playoffs
and then
you know
it was like all summer
it was the thing
they're doing in summer
and
and at first
it was just
pretty much like
Bronx versus Harlem
and Queens
before niggas start flying
niggas in
right first it was it was like bragging rights so who the best in the city so much like Bronx versus Harlem and Queens before niggas start flying niggas in.
First, it was like bragging rights of who the best in the city.
So whoever was like the top guard in the city, you had to play in Rucka.
If you didn't play there, it didn't matter.
Right.
You know, not to jump off topic.
Hold on, man.
Shane Gillis.
Shout out to Shane.
Shane Gillis, you got to chill, bro.
Shane Gillis, I texted him yesterday.
He had called me while we was filming.
So I hit him back and said, yo, you up still?
He just hit me back and said, pause, man.
What do you mean am I up?
Yo, Shane, chill, bro.
My bad.
Are you awake?
Nah, shout out to Shane, man.
I'm just looking.
He's like, yo, pause on you up, yo.
Shout out to Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis, man.
It was crazy.
But yeah, bro.
It was the thing to do. You know, after a while, it kind of died down.
People go to Dykeman, and then you had Kingdome pause.
It was a lot of tournaments outside of that.
But, you know, it was one of the things you had to be there.
Yeah.
And you definitely wanted to have your best game because niggas on the mic would kill
you.
Oh, yeah.
The mic, that's what made it dope as well.
Announcing out loud the whole game was spectacular.
And then if you get a nickname, your nickname was crazy.
I was the All-American.
I was like, it was crazy. You get a nickname.
That's what I was going to say. I was talking about OG
Juan. When Juan was doing it
before Jay-Z or anybody else, when he
was doing it by himself, I remember niggas
used to change sneakers at halftime.
I'm like, yo, how much money
is niggas really getting up there?
They could wear the white Jordans
the first half, and then the second
half wear the black Jordans.
So you want to play for people like that.
You know what I'm saying?
I remember that game, big straight game.
He's slinging his sheet.
Yeah, yeah, I remember.
It was more like Peter Shue, Juan, Mousy.
Those people at that particular time, they had it.
And Maurice, you got your questions answered.
Yeah, no, I just, look, I'm a fan.
So I just be trying to relive a time.
And I seen, you don't know about this step,
but the AM1 mixtapes growing up was like everything.
I think that was the first time I was introduced to just Harlem,
well, the Rucker Park in general.
And then when I went to do the research on it,
I didn't realize it was a Harlem. Oh what, Rucker Park in general. And then when I went to do the research on it, I didn't realize it was a Harlem.
Oh yeah,
definitely.
Okay.
So we got two more games to talk about real quick.
The Thunder beat the Clippers 134 to 115,
killing the Clippers nine game win streak.
What are your thoughts on the Thunder being second in the West?
Well,
I mean,
the Thunder,
they beat them
but
but you know
Kawhi wasn't playing
so I can't really
count this
towards Ty Lue
cause Ty Lue said
with his whole team
after 10 games
they was gonna be rolling
and they have been rolling
so this game
didn't have Kawhi there
so
I'm giving them a pass
on this game
and but
the boys Sha
how you say it
Shay Sha Shay Shay Shay is really giving them a pass on this game. But the boy, Sha. How you say it, Shea?
Sha?
Shea.
Shea is really starting to make a name for himself.
I mean, like, even though last year he was first team,
I think this year he's really taking it serious.
Like, not that he didn't last year,
but really starting to create that space
between him and the other guys.
Like, yo, I'm really that one.
And that's what I'm starting to get from watching his game.
Even when it was a play where him and Westbrook was together,
and it just looked like you could tell as an athlete when you know,
this nigga can't guard me.
You could just see it in his
mannerisms, in his mindset, like
he don't belong out here on me.
I looked up to this nigga growing up
and I hate that it had to be this way.
Yeah, yeah. Listen, yesterday
when we had Mark Jackson on the show,
I was, you know, I was so excited to see
John play. I said, uh, we got
Luca, we got
Steph, and then we're we gonna put John right there Mark
quickly corrected me and said you're jumping the gun and you forgetting about that guy out there
in Oklahoma City and we talked about this earlier this year because because he was first seen
all NBA last year he's in a small market We didn't really see what he had going on. And the Oklahoma City Thunder may not have been this attractive
since Westbrook and Kevin Durant was there.
You know, even when Chris Paul was there, it wasn't the same.
And even watching Shea's game, he's a little more athletic than Chris Paul.
It isn't like he's one of these guards that go dunk on you
and high flying, but I totally agree.
We talked about this before, prior to the game,
when we were saying we're going to see when he plays stuff tonight.
Then he was kind of killing stuff.
And then not only did he, you know, I ain't going to say kill stuff,
but he got his numbers out
he outplayed stuff i'll say that you put the tape out i was gonna say that he put it on that tape
yeah yeah he put it on his instagram and not not not just a clip swipe nigga
this you on the tape nigga you getting killed, he put it on his Instagram and put swipe left.
One clip, two clip,
three clip, four clip.
So... And he had 31 and eight.
Yeah, 31 and eight.
He had the game high.
James Harden,
not only 23,
he had 23 on Westbrook
off the bench, 15 points.
You said Kawhi didn't play
but made a great point.
Yeah.
Paul George, 22 points.
He's out for blood.
Yeah. He's out for blood yeah he's out for blood
and he wants his name to be known look a lot of times and i'm not going to compare it to
the joker or luke or anything else because those guys are actually coming from overseas
but these players that are not from this country also have a point to prove yeah he's from canada
so you got a bunch of canada players said, we're going to go down there
and show these niggas that we're just as good
as they are as well. Like Jamal Murray.
You know, certain
niggas up there, up north, that's nice, my nigga.
Yeah, and don't forget, check
on that OKC team, too.
He's going crazy. And I think
I like this OKC team.
Yeah.
And lastly,
the Grizzlies are already
standing on business.
They beat the Pacers
116 to 103.
But thoughts on the Pacers
losing another game?
Yeah, it's like
it's like you want
you wanted the
killer said the target
on your back.
Pause it now.
Niggas is playing
like every time they go to Indiana. These are pausing now. Niggas is playing like every time
they go to Indiana,
these are the niggas that
almost was the champs. So niggas
is taking them serious.
Look,
the fans
of Indiana, the fans in Detroit
when the Lions be winning, all these fans
when we don't give y'all y'all credit and we start
giving y'all y'all credit and then y'all just sit there
and embarrass us.
Stop texting us.
Stop DMing me.
Stop hitting the page up.
Yeah, question me.
Yeah, stop questioning stat,
murder, DMing us.
Oh, we've been wondering
why y'all not talking about us.
This is exactly why.
Because they put too much pressure on y'all.
Yeah, we trying to save y'all
from y'allself.
All right?
A big disappointment. All right? Now listen, y'all. Yeah, we trying to save y'all from y'allself. All right? A big disappointment.
All right?
Now, listen.
Y'all was going around gloating.
And I'm not going to say, listen, I would have gave y'all niggas a pass.
But Halliburton fucked it up when he did this shit.
He fucked it all up.
Ever since that time.
Ever since that Dame time shit, he fucked it up.
The reason I say that is because if he would have went out humbly and said,
boy, we're just trying to get better every day.
You know, we're working on ourselves.
Had a great game against an even greater guard.
Right.
And it was humbling to even be on the same floor with him.
No, you want to do all this?
You want to listen to the big male songs and being humble and all that.
Yeah, exactly.
See what it got you.
This is where it gets you.
You want to bring your five on T you. This is where it gets you. You want to bring your father on TNT
and this is where it gets you.
And you know who has a problem with it.
You know who's seen all this worse than...
We all seen it,
but it ain't the fact that me,
Stat, Murder, Maurice,
anybody else we work with seen it.
The fact is that John Morant been watching
and they couldn't do nothing about it. And now he can do with seen it. The fact is that John Morant been watching, they couldn't do nothing about it.
And now he can do something about it.
And he's going to do something about it.
This is every guard's worst nightmare
coming to y'all niggas 100 miles per hour every night.
Y'all niggas got another 70, 60 something games
with problems on your hands.
I'm telling you this right now.
And there's going to be people up for the challenge
you guys
Luka don't give a fuck
uh
Steph ain't gonna care
uh
cause there's a lot of
soft ass guards
to I think
yeah Josh playing like
yo
tell the niggas up
that it is what it is
I'm gonna take these niggas
to the playoffs
I'm taking these niggas
to the playoffs
yeah that's a fact, man.
That's how you look at it.
Yeah, man.
And then, you know, I seen, I was saying, I won't say the show,
but I seen a couple of shows because after Josh's first game,
he's like, yeah, I kept all the receipts.
And a couple people who heard him say that, like,
Josh, you're the reason people have receipts.
You was doing this and doing that and doing this.
Look, bro,
let that man say what the fuck he want to say
at this point. We got action, nigga.
We got action, nigga, and I'm excited.
Jai, only thing
I'm not supporting is the guns, because we
ain't going to be able to see you. Say what you want,
because you can afford to find.
Just don't slap niggas,
pull out guns, anything else.
Say whatever the fuck you want
because I'm digging it.
Yeah.
Or text us.
We'll say it for you.
That's even better.
Yeah, that's the fact.
Stay out of trouble.
That's the fact, man.
Text me.
I'll tell her.
I'll say it for you.
Yeah, but as far as
the Pacers are concerned,
target on your back, baby.
Y'all niggas,
it's the reigning
Eastern Conference champions for the end season
tournament.
Whatever the fuck that mean.
Y'all niggas is right now in the eighth seat.
You're in the eighth seat.
So when this,
when this shit started,
