I'm telling you the truth. This is one of the, one of the, um, y'all knew him forever, Teague. So one of the things about your cast is when he tell his stories, he's usually shitting

all his self. Was he always like that or did y'all just, was that a bitch y'all figured out when he, when he tell his stories. He never just go to the good story. He go, I mean, the good story, he never just go to the good shit. He tell him. I'm gonna just tell y'all the truth. Honestly, he got a bunch of good stories.

No doubt. All of them is good, man. He tells the shit when something bad happened to him. People gravitate towards the bullshit. So a lot of former NBA players when they came... No, I'm the bullshit. He liked that, Joe, Jeter. I don't think you really see

No, man, but with him, it's like a lot of NBA, former NBA players, they just wanted to tell like, man, I would have killed him if I had to play him or try to overdo what they did in the NBA. Who you would have killed then? Like, who you would have killed?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, but what about SG? Gee, nah, I ain't gonna say, I played against him. How did that go? I had good games against everybody. But I should tell you, when I tell the stories, they talk to most shit. Yeah. So, like, when I first met him, I met him talking shit.

That's right. I had one of my young guns, like, shout out to Shelvin Mac. When I met him, I'm like, nigga, fuck you. I think you're way better than you. He's still in college. And I didn't know who this was. I'm like, I'm with my guys, but who the fuck is. We got mutual friends.

They were like, yo, don't do Jerry like that. He don't look like that. I'm like, yo, the pitcher fly. Anyway, I got friends. punched in the back of the head one day in Kansas City. When I got home, I decided to start working out. After a show or something with us? We was on a locks tour.

Yeah. And I think we got to the event. We arrived at the venue a little early. They didn't have the back in. So now we're on the sprint or the tour bus drinking and smoking. We end up falling to sleep. As soon as we got into a nice, good slumber, They come with the money and the mics and all.

Oh, you got to go on. So I was the first one off the truck walking to the door to go in. There was some dudes drinking, just huddling up, you know, frattingizing outside. I'm saying, what's up? Yo, Jay, I thought I said, what's up, good enough. It must have not been today liking, though. Yeah, yeah. I gave them a man, what I'm saying?

The whole club saw it. Then we went on stage. You know what I mean? P. was telling the drivers the back of the, he was preparing for the ambush. Oh, okay. Luckily, we got out of there. I came home, got with my man, Giant from the bartenders and started working out.

You know what I mean? Yeah, the big players club means back in the head. That's crazy that made you start working out, though. He didn't take that. A bunch of all of shit, but that was the ice is on the kick. We had Jim Jones on here the other day, and Jim Jones was saying he worked out to be prepared. And then you remember that video, he slammed that dude in the airport. I know Jim, Homeboy had to fuck with him.

Like, I knew the minute I saw it, I said, I don't, I don't even know what Homeboy must have said some wild shit to him for him. for him to do that to him. You know what I'm saying? So, but that's, you know, I know guys that had to go to jail five, ten years, and they already started working out

before they went in there to be ready to go in jail, you know, prepping their bodies to get ready because they got to go to gladiator school and go to war. Well, the clock only goes frontwards and don't go back.

American history is full of wise people. What women said something like, you know, 99.99% of war is diarrhea and 1% is gory.

jumped up, hit the tree with one thing, grabbed the piece of beef and came down. At that point, I knew we are fucked out there. Like this, you're not zigzagging. You ain't running around a tree from a gorilla, a tiger. None of that shit. So I don't know who think they could fight a gorilla, fight a tiger, whatever.

I've seen the tiger jump, whap, grab the meat, come down. I said, oh, no. I'm going to try to run. I'm gonna try to No, I'm gonna try to run I'm gonna try to fight You gonna try to fight? Oh, I'm gonna go out

I'm not the guy in the scary movie where you be like, run. No, no. I'm out. I'm out. I don't got to fucking look back for nothing. Nothing in the world. One time, it might be too real, but one time there was a situation

where I'm outside of a spot and somebody starts shooting. So the police forced me. They subpoenaed me to come in, right? Because Fat Joe's there, right? So I go up in there. I'm with my lawyer, and they were like, when you heard the shots,

what you do? I ran the other fucking way so fast. What are the other people do? Was there a hundred people running with me? Like, yo, what the fuck, dude? Are you one of them guys, you walk to the shots to see what's going on? I'm not that guy.

I'm out of here. I don't want to know what's going on. You're going to run, but you're going to stay and fight the gorilla. Yeah, he's saying because at first you think it was a squirrel.

Somebody. Somebody. Brother, if you're still alive, I want to see you in these comments. No, please, time him. We got to hollet it, bro.

I'll tell you a bigger, hold on, hold up, hold up, let me tell you, hold up. We tell you an illist story. I'm lucky. Right, that same story. You know, we got a guest, right? No, this is what we're doing. No, top your shit, we hear. We're chilling.

We call Jack the guy. I get all my guy, we caught him beat. They know Connecticut, no, they beat that ass, right? It's too many, right? And real warriors, too, they beat the shit out of us, right? So we drive it back. We call it big pun. May you rest in peace.

So we come back to puns block. Punds in the middle of the street sees us and jumps and rolls over with like a machine gun in the scene. Yo, what's up, Twent? Who wanted, who wanted? I'm like, yo, my man, that shit was in Connecticut. What the fuck out of here? Unrolled over like some army shit.

Yo, what's up, Twit? Who wanted where? I swear, dog. I'm like, yo, pun, that shit was three hours ago. Like, calm down. Like, he was acting like he was ready for war. But, you know, it is what it is. Man, they know that's a real story.

Coaching, man. Let's go back. Let's go to coaching. No, no, let me ask you a question. Okay. Coach it. Who did you not want to play? No, I don't care about playing. No, no, no, no.

You just actually did you answer it? Hold up. I'm not going to answer it for me. Is somebody who's too strong, is somebody who runs? you up, there's somebody that even if you went in the stadium, you dreaded facing that player. No, I hated playing Bronn, like going against Brown.

I didn't, I mean, I didn't have to guard him. Too physical? Yeah, they were. Too many calls? Yeah, he was, he the best. Like, we couldn't beat him. Like, I never beat Brown in the playoff game. And I played him, what, three or four times?

I'm over. Was that any kids close? We was up 31 game and still lost. Yeah, we was like the Knicks. No, no, don't do the next. Yeah. We know how to segue. What your low, blow.

We know the segway. Such a low blow. The Knicks. We was up 30, man. End up losing in the end. Was it the Easton Conference final? No, this was. Oh, yeah, that's a.

But this was against the pace. Hey, shit. This was against the Pacers when I was with the Pacers, though. We was up game three. 30 points lost. So we're here talking about the playoffs. Mm. You know, we...

It's the championship, though. Yeah, no, hold on, don't try to run. That's a great accomplishment. Did you know, I'm very tech with a bunch of superstar players, and they all tell me behind the scenes who they didn't want to play. Like a Mike Bibby, a A.I. Mike Biggie, that's my... No, no, they told me.

Shout to Mike Bigger. So I knew there was somebody that... Who, Bibby said. They bothered you. They didn't want to see me in practice. You know Bibby is... You know, he choked me up. That's a true store.

Right now, he actually did. Bibby choked me up. So we collect sneakers, right? Let's go to sneakers. Nobody has more sneakers than Mike Bibby. When I say nobody, this store ain't big enough. His shit. And he don't even trust his family.

He got like seven locks. He goes like this. He built the whole foot locker for himself. Shit, it's like four stories when you go with the thing. So he kept telling me for years, come to my house when you were Phoenix, yo, I give you whatever you want because you know he was Team Jordan.

So he said, all right, Joe, whatever you want. I go, whew, I do like the tiger did. Jump up on the shit, whack. I go, whack. These was all like one of ones. He's like, yo, what are you doing? His family's like, yo, Bib, you told him. He was like, nah, fuck that.

He knows what he's doing. I ain't going to his house taking this platinum plaques. Yo, crap, he wound up choking me out. I wound up having a bargain with him. Like, yo, I'll take one pair out of the four because they was one of ones. I knew what I was doing. I went for the shit.

He was like, yo, this guy, his family ain't even know. They look in there as sneakers and sneakers. He's like, he's grabbing the best shit. He's grabbing. Like, I knew what to grab. Like, I was like a kid in the Toys R Us that they said, yo, go crazy. Get busy.

Now, what you want to say about the Knicks? No, I just wanted to ask. like did y'all really think y'all was about to win the championship this year on some real shit you don't he's about to beat in the end what happened though from y'all perspective we gave it all we got tim tim tim tim's blue this fucking carbon radar y'all sound so defeated i know man we all what are you talking about the energy's long this guy still having Braun Nightmares 20 years later.

Are you serious? You know how we feel? Okay, we've been fans our whole life. I mean, I got pictures of me 10 years old playing basketball and Nick Jackets. So we've been we've been sipping the Kool-Aid a long time. So we finally get to a place this city and no disrespect to the Yankees, love the Yankees. but it never felt like it felt with the Knicks going to the Eastern

like this shit was out of but I mean everybody your mother my father like normal people who are nice people let's go next like this shit was fully charged I think if we went a game seven

they probably would have blocked the Pacers bus from coming like it was that crazy out here like they was whiling out here And we was on the shit, too. We come up in here with the, he came up in here with the Nick helmet and shit, Nick socks up the hill, all type of shit like this. And I'm like, yo, we just so hype.

And to fall short like that, I just think they were way faster than us. And they had a better team. You know, he really had a bench. We had visions of a bench. Oh, we had, that was the best thing he said. That's a bar. It's a visions of a bench. But what I'm saying to you is this is the problem I have.

Fat Joe plays in the game, 5-1-5. I'm not the best player. It don't matter. I'm scoring 10, 12 points. There's just nowhere around. Hold on, hold on, Joe. I'm telling you the truth. I don't want to interrupt you.

What? Are you saying like the NBA? Basketball. Any game I play. Pick up. Softball. Whatever. I'm doing my thing.

10 points in the NBA is crazy. I know. I get it. I'll get some bum-ass 10 points. I'll get your man, what's your man, Turner to bust my head open. I'll go on that line and make the two. I'm going to be on the scoreboard.

Listen what I'm saying. Well, I'm trying to tell you is I'm not doing nothing that I'm not helping the team. Okay. I'm going to help the team. So now my point that I don't understand is you waited your whole life. You get to the finals.

You get to the finals. playoffs, right? And during the season, let's call out Deuce McBride, right? Okay, dude. This was his time to really shine, not regular shine. This was his time. You didn't think he played good?

I think he played good. I don't believe a star was born. That's the problem I'm saying. It has to be a star. They didn't get enough time. They're going to say he didn't get enough time to playoff. I think he'd been a star with that much minute. I ain't know. My man were SGA. Jay. William. Williams.

I'm sorry. I ain't know. He liked that. A star. He's born. He was all in Vietnam. Okay. It's cool, but Jalen Brunson, when he was on Dallas,

a star was born. I'm not going to be in this league, played in the summer, in the winter, trying to be Kobe, and get there. No, it is to be a star in the NBA. Listen to what I'm saying to you. That was the difference. They had a better bench. He said he should have showed up more.

Our bench did not show up. But he didn't. To Jeff's point, DJ's point, he didn't get enough time to show Joey Crack that he could do this time. That's kind of true, too. But he did, though. The mother guys didn't. Deuce was in them games. He played like 18, 20.

And you came playing in spurs like that. 18, 20 minutes. You got to get around him. I started five is irreplaceable. Yeah. Yeah, that's the problem. So when he come in 18 minutes, he got to produce. What are.

about the little guy. What about the little white, the little white boy? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Little guy. Little white guy going there, automatic. He is not playing with these dudes. My boy, T.J. Nash. Quick. And what's the, what's the white boy for, oh. Ooh. Do you know anybody's name? No, what's the white boy? I think it's Boston. Oh, play. Prating. Pitcher. Same thing. They coming in automatic. He said, me, Ron should have a job is, Jada. They should have came. But they roles is different, though. They get different. They get different. Those different coaches, man. They've been in that row the whole year. We're not looking for Deuce to pass the ball and be a team player.

When he comes in, he's supposed to shoot. All right, Deuce here. You got to hear first, doof. The little white boys, you know, come in, shoot. He's saying TJ and them coming to game and they're aggressive. Oh, no, they're not playing. Yeah, so why.

Many of they come in, you got to be like. They're getting put in the game to impact their game scoring. Deuce is getting put in the game to do a little bit of heavy. He's not single out dudes, all of them. Okay. None of them came out. Like, what's my man? Last year's playoff, we had, what, Precious?

Precious was bowling. Precious got about five minutes, the old playoffs. Well, whatever he got, he was a liability. I don't know what I said. Hey, brother. What do you want to think five nits? It's a liability. This is how they love the Nix, bro.

You know where the Knicks messed up at? completely before this season started. He should have gave that money to Hartenstein. Mm-hmm. And he didn't. Right now,

Hartinstein is up there. He gave it the OG and something, you know? And y'all got Kat. The money. Y'all got Kat. Yeah, you'll take Kat over Hardenstein.

No, I'll take Kat all day over. Pretty much over a lot of people. So, Kay, you're top of? He's the best scoring big man in the league. Nah. Who's better? What the hell?

Yonkech. All right, Yokey. Joel and B. Joel and B is done. Oh, shit. Joel M. B got training wheels. He's done. He's slipping and sliding, bro.

He's done. I like this. He's done, Papa. He's Christmas. He's done. Two hot minutes on a big game. Sit down. He's done.

God bless him. I don't want nobody to get hurt. He's done. Joker, you're right. Do you know why Joker's so good? Because you were taught to play a certain way. Every American player was taught to play a certain way, A.A.U. Tribal the ball, don't throw it across the court.

Yo, wait for this, wait for this. So all of y'all, no matter how ill you are, you learn from the same theology. Jokers in Serbia, Montenegro doing this shit, they tell you not to do. Throw it across the court, do this, do that. Nobody, nobody. This guy doing shit, you're not.

That's supposed to do. And you're not ready for it. He's not athletic. He's not athletic. Slow. He's doing everything. They gave you a manual. The papers, they said,

yo, don't do this, bro. He's doing it, and he's getting it in. Because you're not expecting that to happen. Balls flying across the court. You're like, no way he'd do that. Who would throw that? That's why he's so good. But yes, you got one there with Joker.

Then you got Kat. Who else you got? I do you. I say Kat second. If you're not going to talk about. I like that. I like that. I like that.

I like that. Is Wimby a B? Winby on the way. I love Wemby. But what? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I love. Is Wimby a Bainby?

Have you, yeah. Who you want, Winby or Cat? No. Look. Answer the question. I'm answering the question. He's not better than cat. He's just not.

Does he has potential? Like, I'm real, yo, I was, I was fake cheering for the Purrs, maybe because Pop got sick. Shout out to Pop, man. One of the greatest coach ever. But that draft and all that, I was going for the Spragile. Like, I want to see Wembe take over the league. And I want them to get a team around them because I'm really, really a fan of Wembe.

So they get Kevin Durant. What? It's over. Don't do that. Kevin Moran. He got beat for me sometimes. I don't want to go there with that. Yeah, the Spurs is supposed to be trying to go to the Spurs.

He wants to go to the Spurt. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, Kevin Durant going to help anybody where he go, but he got to stay healthy. And we don't wish bad health on nobody. But, you know, we've seen this, I mean, don't do that. Kevin, Kevin, you're a funny dude. You know what you're doing.

He gives me the eyes like, go in, Joe. No, I'm not going in because I fuck with KD, man. But, you know, he'll help any team they bring him in. Even if he came to the Knicks. He would help the next. Oh, you want, you'll take KD for the next. Who you'll give up? That almost happened, too.

I'm not giving nobody up. What? Ooh. How are you getting KD? Yeah. You're not giving nobody. You're keeping Mike K.L. O.G. over Katie?

All right. You keeping Mike Kelle and OG over Katie? Right now, yes. I'm dealing with youth. I'm dealing with health. I'm dealing with we got a great nucleus if you get a better bitch. Why am I going to be on next stage? Listen, not me.

KD, no, don't do that. That's why you lost that coaching job. KD. Oh, but by the way, let me tell you something. Tell you something. Worldwide West is my neighbor. I caught him walking, right? And he finally stopped.

He don't stop for me. You know, he works out every day. So I always catch him working out. Like, yo, Wes, he's one of them work out, guys. He's not going to talk to you while he's working out. He stopped the other day. So I'm talking to him. I said, yo, Wes, I actually did something I wanted to do forever.

I got the courage to say, you all want to coach the Knicks. He said, you are definitely not coaching. Yo! But I asked him. I said, yo, man, I want to coach the Knicks. He said, yo, Joe, you are definitely. Not even like, he had a little malice. with it, too.

Like, you are definitely not coaching the Knicks. If you were to coach you the Knicks. What was our game plan would have been for the papers? Well, us, you know, with me personally, I have a no-loss policy. Joe, be realistic. Come, bro. I have a note. I look at my stats at the worker.

I want seven chips, brother. I was going to ask you about EBC later. Seven chips, brother. We can talk about that. I don't lose. I get down on a concrete with the. the players are stretching and get the rocks and pebbles in my knees. EBC is different than the NBA.

We're going to tap into your O.C. Of course. I'm not delusional. I think that I'm motivational. I think they should give me a job to come up in there at least as an assistant coach or somebody who comes to the camp and talking to them, a consultant when they need that.

Like, why did he choose you to come to? I'm telling you right now because he knew I knew. He wasn't crazy. Around that time, them chips was flying outside in the summer. He knew this guy knows something about coaching. And so I would sit down with him and you want to know the truth? What I would tell him? I don't know why you're losing it.

Remember the team they had at the time? Jamal Croft. They have, Jamal Crawford, Zach Randolph, Steph Marbury. Is that Harrington there? Hal Harrington? Yeah. You tell me why they lose it. I'm like, yo, but Joe, that's what I'm saying.

Joe, he's like, yo, Joe, I got the best guys. I said, they got to play the, it was too much individual ball at that time. It was too much, give me the rock, I'm doing this. You know, that's something we got to work on as Knicks, right? right now. Jalen Brunson, we're nowhere without him, but he's holding that ball too much. Who else going to give us a bucket? It don't matter. I'm just saying, the ball got to go. Now, McKell Bridges, he needs to really go, though. I think he's like, no, no, no, not get traded. I mean, like, I think he's better than he letting himself be. And so Jada said, yo, they don't let him get the ball that much. That's cool.

I think that guy is very, very talented and he needs to think more offensively and he'll impact the game in a different way, you know. For sure. Coaching, you went back to your hometown and coach high school. He played at Pike High School. What was that like? I was trying to be like Fasjo. Yeah.

I was trying to get some chips. Did you get seven chips? Nah, I ain't one nothing. But now, we're working, though. We've got a good group this year. I always wanted to get back to where I came home. You're still coaching. That's beautiful.

Yeah. Yeah, it's fun. I mean, we got some talented guys. And I wanted to help somebody at least live out their dream like I did. So we got a bunch of guys that got offers from some high major D1 school. That's beautiful. That's what it's about. You know, my brother Rich player, we said he shit at the bathroom last time.

Let's big him up this time. Right? The man's a legendary football coach. We just talking to him earlier. He was talking to him earlier. He sent about 20-something kids to the NFL. So he changed their lives. I know that.

He owe me a jersey, too. Oh, he's got to get it for you, but let me tell you something, right? Let me tell you something. Speaking of coaching. Better world peace. Nah, he can't be the coach. Of way. The Knicks.

The next. My auditioning. You see the Instagram? It's out there. Hold up. Look, look. Yo. Nah, it's a matter.

Yo-hoo. How hard. It's out there. He'd think I just get him out the clear sky. No, it's awesome. That's up the wrong. You actually, you could coach her. That boy's standing with a bowtide of suit like the little guy talking about.

I want to be the coach. He's going on. Yeah, but you're even getting an interview? Are they? They sure. Y'all, y'all trying to, this is why you're out of pocket. Why are y'all going to these other organizations trying to steal their coach? What's wrong with John, Joe?

Why? You want to know the real spill? Yes. You want to know the street spill? Because you're in the South Bronx. Yes. It would have been Fowler if they were the coach, They would have fired Coach Tibbs

and had the coach behind his back already that they talked to to put him in there. We would have been like, yo, you did him dirty. You understand what I'm saying? They at least fired him. And now we don't got,

they're about to have to call him back. They got to spend the block. They got to spend the block. Why I'm trying to get Mark Jackson? I love Mark Jackson. That's deeper than up here in one. We don't know it. I thought you might know something.

Yeah, that's David and Galahua. That's deep. David and Goliath, but let me tell you something. David and Goliath. Let me tell you some. You sure ain't saying the right one. Yes. It's David and Goliath because it feel like he's going up against a giant. You know what I'm saying? He deserves

it. Those chips at Golden State was his. To me, I don't know what happened why they got him out. I've been begging for Mark Jackson before Tibbs came. Mark Jackson's been the guy Don't know what it is Right But you learned in coaching

You got to the league You know they say that term You can take a horse to the water But you can't make him drink Yeah Michael Jordan learned that shit fast Huh The goat the greatest of all the time

He went on that sideline in Charlotte He saw them guys wouldn't play like a Yes He tried to coach? Yeah, he was the owner. He was the owner, but he was on the bench calling place. He was like that, though.

He smacked Malik Munk in his head during the. Yeah, but the point I'm saying is even the greatest of all time can't get guys to listen. The greatest of all time. Brian do a good job at coaching his team and playing. He do. That's funny. He got homeboy, JJ Reddick. You got to give him some credit.

You said greatest all the time. So I was trying to make sure he did it right. No, no, no. No. Oh, that's it. That's what you want, the Bible moment. This is the shit. You saying LeBron is better than Michael Jordan?

No, I'm not. I just think LeBron the greatest. He did everything. I think you delusional. There's too much delusional. No, we can't have top-tier people being delusional. We already got everybody delusional out here. You're adding to the Schizophrenia.

You got this shit fucked up. What do you think, Jada, my business partner? I don't like to chime in on that. I think MJ is the greatest in everything after that. However you want to put it. Kobe, Brian, Brian, Colby. Cool. I'm with that.

MJ is the gold of all goats. You've seen that. I don't know you can't put them with it. You see that Utah. You're saying because of like, Cross mania. I'm just saying because he... No, not great a monus.

He's better than everybody. You're wearing his shirt. Only black and Latino people do that. If it wasn't no, Mike, it wouldn't be no none of them other nick. And that's, I'm not... We raw for comparing Ron with Jordan anyway. Compare Jordan with some... One of them things that came out when he came out.

No, yeah. I mean, they're different errs. But I'm just saying, like, for me. At this point, we got to compare Jordan to, like, Messi or, like, Serena Williams. What? You know, we got to compare against the coach of everybody. Like, John Brady.

Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm going to go. Yeah. That's how I'm going to go. You have a lot. You have got to stop. No, but think about it. Brian been the man since he's been the greatest player since he was 16.

Like, we've been. I love it. I love LeBron James, I am a stand, bro. When the next news... Ron did something nobody else does it. Every year the next news, I jump on the LeBron bandwagon one state and boo. I love LeBron James. I do believe he deserves all the glory.

He is not Michael Jordan. And I don't like this new generation. Sometimes I'm watching... Hold up. Let me say this. No, no, no. I'm watching this. This is distra- this all the way fregling.

I'm throwing a foul right now on this. I've seen highlights with young kids saying, look right there, he wasn't really filed. He scored two there. That's how he has 30 in the game. Now, if they would have called the pick, he would have had two less points. Hey, yo, bro, the man great.

No, he's great. Yeah, it's him and Brian. Well, Kobe got something. to say. Nah. About that, too. Yes. Kobe, Kobe Cole, but Brian did, bro, it's crazy.

Let me tell you, quick. Just a quick. They both out of high school. Y'all, y'all, just a quick, quick story. Jayda, I know you don't want to speak on this, but you have to talk. You have to talk. You got to talk. Political records.

Yo, we're going to get you a new record later. Political records. Played the motherfucking years than anybody. But they all had to say opportunity. And he still average you 25. I think Ryan is incredible. But you can't take nothing from Mike or Colby. I'm not taking enough of him.

Mike is the blueprint, bro. Jordan on the Wizards. At 40? In a better league. Let me explain, son of you, what these people doing. They're doing it in basketball and they're doing it in hip-hop. Okay. They come in here, they're smarter.

And so they come in here and they say, all right, Jordan average 28 points again let's just say I think it's 32 or something right I'm going to score 33 to 34 every game cool

Jordan that's why all of a sudden LeBron said he ain't chasing rings whoa he's been chasing them motherfucking rings that's all we see it we don't even know

if LeBron is better than Steph Curry we don't know that Oh, Steve Curry, let me explain something to you. Can you let this go? Stop and talk. Jada.

I don't know what's got the reins. I don't know what happened. I don't know. I don't know what happened. I don't know. I don't know what happened. Look, right now. I love Steph.

No, no. The two guys, he changed the whole game, brother. That's a fact. He got seven-footers thinking they shoot threes. That's a fuck. These are the two guys. You think LeBron

want to see Steph Curry cats and never. ring before him. It's impossible brother. They're the two fighting. I don't think Brian care no more. He broke all the records. He's like, he's got the most bucket. Not anything you can do and more. He cares.

He's just playing for cardio. He just don't want to go home yet. Change the narrative now. He cares. He wants to chip. What are you talking about? The guy tries to die on the court. You know what you got to do to be

40 years old and scored 20 points in You gotta be bionic. That's why he's the best ever. That's why he liked that. Oh, man. And he got to look at the teams he ran into. I know we can talk about some other stuff, but you look at the teams he ran into, no disrespect.

Mike, but some of them teams, they knock the KD, Steph, Clay Thompson, Drake Brown, Charles Barkley's team. Kevin Johnson, Dan Marley. They better than KD and him? Let me explain, say you, the competition. Nah, stop. Competition.

Listen, Listen, competition is the competition. We always had, we couldn't get to the championship because Reggie Miller was busting our ass. Everybody got somebody or somebody. There's always an arch nemesis. They always are crew to get busy. They always this.

You not just waltz into a championship. No, never. The guy just was far superior than everybody. The guy wasn't scared to join the dunk contest. He did it. Oh, he took a year off. He never was a Game 7? He didn't with a Game 7, you're right.

But who they played? Tyree won game 7. Mike was a back one of the shit. Mike already had to feed out my game set. Don't do that. Who they played, though? Utah. How do they play, though?

Utah. I watch Kairi make them shots. Utah Jazz. I watch a ball. Utah Jazz better than that stir a team. I was at the game. I watched a ball. Come on, man, who he played?

Get babbled in. to Ray Allen's hand and won the chip. That shit was babbled. My thing is this. Here we go. Here we go. Now, you want me to talk this. You want me to talk to this.

Yeah, let's go. We locked in. What's we got me here for? I'm locked in. We locked it. I'm in the building in Jersey. Parked my car in the parking lot. Yeah.

I come up to the lobby because you've got to change elevators to go to the apartment. I get to the lobby. There's about 30 people. All white, Asian, everything sitting in the hallway. I want to see what's going on. The security guard has a TV this little on the thing, and it's the championship. Right? It's the Lakers playing.

Kobe Bryant is playing the game. They down three. He's in the game. The other team got the ball. He hits the ball off the other team. The ball hits the guy. game. All 30 people said, ah, fuck!

Oh, all 30. That ball was thrown in, he did that curl, popped the three with an A and won and won the fucking game. They all knew it before he touched the fucking ball. That's greatness. How many times I see LeBron walking that dugout?

No, no, how many times I seen LeBron at the end of a game walking in that shit? That ain't Kobe Bryant, bro. I mean, I watched it in real time with 30 people. I average 40 in the fun. Let me ask you this.

Cool, bro. Did you watch the finals with Brown Hawk now, Eagle Dala? No, he didn't watch that one. You ain't seen that one? He didn't watch that one. I actually, I actually, Remy Miles, a Golden State fan. I actually was always rooting for LeBron. And I felt like it was unfair for him.

He had them boys on all cylinders. He had Curry. He had Thompson. Igor Dala, Jemong Green. That's not. race what he brings to the game. Shout to Dray. Them boys were shooting that shit.

I watched LeBron run from this side and that side and this side of that side. I was feeling sorry for it. I kept arguing with everybody. Like, yo, this ain't fair, though. This ain't fair. And they was like, whack, whack, whack, whack, whack, whack, whack, whack, splash, brother. He literally had four of the guys with him and was running coast to coast trying to, he had no chance, brother. sometimes you get up against

an opposition where you have no chance fair enough so that's to Jeff's point is what he's trying to tell you Jordan never had to go through that type of adversity because he was better than everybody you got to blame God who fault is it whoever they put in front of him

he had to fade away he had to fade away and by the way by the way Michael Jordan was shooting with actors you knew that shit going in, bro.

So, y'all, everybody do that. The first joining teams, though. He had everything. He had some horrible team before he got Scotty and all of them. He did. Bro, took that all 17 to the playoffs. Against the Spurs.

Who was on that time? No, no, no. He took who was on the finals? He didn't even count the class. No, you rather get beating the finals. I'd rather don't get swept than nothing. But, you know, losing the finals, they get swept. Losing the finals.

You want to know something? You want to know something? Sweat in the final. You lost in the first round. You can't even drink a Celsius. It's no celebration at all. Take up to Celsius. In this conversation, Michael Jordan, LeBron,

right there is where you turn the TV off. Bam, on LeBron. That's it. It's over. It's over, guys. I made it at 22. Turn it back on. I was 22.

He did. did something. He was in the finals of 22, Joe? Yeah, no. He can't just say, they both did something nobody's ever going to do. What makes you think LeBron is better than... Because he's been doing this,

he's been having a microscope on this 16. He got the best, he got the best health. God bless him. He got the best health. Who fault is that? No. No. No.

No, that you don't want to bring God in. I just like what you're taking away from MJ. I'm not taking nothing from Brown. No. I ain't let you. I take no that's how we feel. We preserve the culture.

No, perfect. And I don't like, I didn't speak to Kobe under the thing. Kobe, you really, oh my God. Kobe. What? Do you trying to act like

Kobe ain't the one? Are you looking at me? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Kobe can't just make them all. Kobe. Kobe did the Achilles, went over there and tied the two shots.

But you know what kind of pain that boy was in to go up to that line and shoot them two shots that's it's different stop american history is full of wise people what women said something like no 99.99% of war is diarrhea and 1% is gory those founding fathers were gossipy a f and they love to cut each other down I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you send us your questions about American history, and I find the answers, including the nuggets of wisdom our history has to offer. Hamilton pauses, and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption.

Indiana, Boston, Boston, the great Boston Arena arena, and we can't take nothing from the Boston self. Their court side seats was going for like 20. This shit was going to 140,000. What?

So you got any story you tell in music or basketball or anywhere. And I, please, guys, I love everybody from all the money come back here. Anybody.

You think basketball? This is where basketball is the greatest in New York. I can't say that. I know, it's Indiana, but I was going to let you go. I was going to let you go. The Mexican, what you do? Yeah, I was going to let you do, but, like. I can't say that.

I know that you guys, I know, I know the only problem with Indiana. We are Indiana fans, but we need restaurants to stay open past 9 o'clock in Indiana. I'm tired of eating beef jerkeys for fucking dinner over there. Like, you got to stop. I know we got hot dogs. There's no glissies at night at the time. You want a fucking... You're going to get me.

What's the beef? You are not getting Waggoo after nine out there, bro. You got to tap in with Freaky Mike for the hot dogs. You got it at the corner. You got at the corner. If you're staying downtown in my city, you got to go to the corner. You're going to get you a glissie. Your two hot dogs is ready for you at all time.

Let me explain, send to you, I got super love for you. you in Indiana and I got super love for Cleveland. But after 9 o'clock, unless you're from the hood and you know the lady that cooked something, you are eating a beef jerky

for dinner from the gas. You just got to tap in with us when you come on. I have to. You have to. Because I went out there. I was out there for the All-Star. Oh, man. All-Star was bad. I ain't got. You came in a blizzard. We had a blizzard. You got to tap in with us.

Because I was here for All-Star here. That's what he made it. Name of food, the weirdest food in the world. It was open. Hold up. Name of weirdest food in the world. You're going to say y'all got it. What you want to say for Cambodia?

You eat that shit four in the morning in New York, man. I know you're about to say that. Good as hell. It's a bigger difference. It's a bigger city. It's a bigger city, man. I want to ask you all about music, though. Okay.

Hip hop. Where do y'all feel like the state of hip hop is, right now. And do New York breed the best rappers? Lyrical, lyric-wise. That's my question for you. That's a real question. No, that ain't the question. Second part? It's a debate. I'm on Twitter. I'm not.

I'm telling you all, it's a debate. I mean, Twitter is not a fair thing because it's people from, it's people that ain't in people. Yeah, but the spot I fall without, I don't care with talk to them. I don't know they were saying they were saying California,

LA. State of hip-hop. They were saying L.A. You want me to do that? They were saying L.A. They were saying L.A. But you know where to make it. You know where they're... It's right at that.

Okay. So, y'all, okay, y'all, I'll give me y'all self-clear of how y'all feel about the state of hip-hop right now? The state of hip-hop, as long as it's... As long as it's active in a live, it's always a good thing. But I always say the same thing. It's like a Ferris whip. You know what I mean?

It just keeps turning. Some new shit. It goes back to some old shit. Some more new shit comes out than it. It's about being able to stay on the wheel. Of course, everything that comes out, not going to be a cup of tea or not going to be something. You play in a whip or play, you know, on your own.

But it is what it is. You don't like everybody's game. Yeah, that's how music is. Because you'll be on a lot of people with features. That's why I asked you that. I mean, the pay is good. Sometimes it's paid. Sometimes I like the song.

It's not paid in the song. Now, I'll say I salute all the youth. Facts. Even if I don't like your music because the kid that's putting out music successfully, he's not robbing people's mothers at the gas station. Right? And I also see them as not themselves.

So I know that Jada takes kids whole family. He got his crew. He helps them with their bills. He pays them. One guy is like 30 jobs. So when I see a young kid rocking and golf a bit, he become like Travis Scott or something like that. He's open. He got a thousand guys getting paid off of him. I look at that. Now, we're in a different time. You know, we've been waiting forever for a group of young kids to come back out and start spitting. Now, you have individuals that, you have individuals that, spit, you know, but like I said, I don't criticize what they do, but, you know, I think more of the youth is party-driven rather than lyrics. So they make them like them party records. You know,

my daughter, right now my daughter loves this record called the deuce, the tray, the forward to the trade, to the deuce, the tray. She got me like, I'm like, throw on the boys the men. Like, I'm deuce to the trade out of here, bro. With the boys of men. Like, yo, she's playing that shit. That's the TikTok that took over to him.

My God, daughter comes. Remmy's daughter, Kenzie. She throws on the TikTok match, the deuce, the trade, the did it to the day. And that's great. He's obviously a hit, right? And I like that record.

But, you know, it's more about party, dance, you know what I'm saying, rather than, you know, the days of when we fell in love with hip-hop. Originally, it was about, you know, I just saw a clip with Eminem coming over here talking about the time he heard Raq Kemp for the first time. He was like, yo, I had never heard nobody like this, you know, and we come up from that. You know, I used to bust my bubble. This guy's more gifted lyricist to me.

me. You know a Fat Joe. Fat Joe. Fat Joe love hip-hop. Fat Joe was a hustler who had to teach himself how to rap as a hustle. Yeah. You understand what I'm saying? And get better and better and better. This was my way out. Like I'm like, okay, I'm going through. It wasn't like he was born to rap. No, no, I'm telling you the truth. Eminem, JZ, big pun. These are guys game. These guys were born. Kendrick Lamar, these guys, gnazes, they was born to rap. It was no other occupation.

I'm sure he would have figured it out. We're selling coffee now, Kiss Cafe. Right? But this was it. He was blessed with this profession. Some people are carpenters, some people are painters, some people are this. Some of these guys, it was just a no-brainer.

This is what they're born to do. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, you're... It's different rappers, you know what I mean? I can look at Master P and say he was never lyrical. I could say he was one of the greatest businessmen that ever played this game and put a whole state on his back. Do you see what I'm saying?

So it's this, you know what I figured out, you know, because I truly am a hip-hop historian. I should have the bifocals on the shit where you pull out your pocket and be like, like, I'm telling you. Come on. I should be. One lens, but not. I should have the one shit that can see if it's a real

Dermina or, you know, I should have that shit. The one thing I figured out that everybody ain't figured out. And he got it, and I guess I got it, right? The people got to like you. Okay. So the love affair comes with Cardi B being funny on Instagram, telling jokes, then she gets on love and hip-hop, and then she gets one to go.

Bodak Yellow she's at it but people love her people love French Montana it's not about yo let's battle French Montana against Raq Kim or Kendrick Lamar

that's not what he do but people love him and when people love you you know that's it right there that's the support you know how many guys I've seen

that were the greatest rappers the greatest singers The most talented. I'm talking about the most. Right now I'm thinking of one guy who's an R&B singer. He actually trains

all the R&B singers that we love. He put out records with stars and this because he's phenomenal. Never blow. Handsome guy sings like fucking an angel on earth. You know how many guys I know

wrote hit records for artists, but when they wrote for themselves, it went nowhere. And so I digested and soaked all the analogy into hip-hop, realizing that

they got to love you. We've been seeing these one-on-one matches. Beasley and Lance. You're going to get out there and give anybody to smoke? Yeah, me and Brendan's post a play here in the summer. Wow. Oh, that's going to be a good one. We ain't going to be in New York.

Pulling up. L.A. They should go to the park. No, no, no, we be there. No, wherever it's out. I think I got to be there. We got to be there. One-on-one.

Yeah, him and Lou Will played a little bit already. It's supposed to be me, him, Tile Off. They played a little bit. Like, they played the three. But they tried to say it was just a little preview. Do you agree with Mello? Our guy saying that he'll smoke anybody one-on-one? Yeah, Mello different.

But I don't know how healthy he is. Mello different. Mellow different. Former Nick of Bark out of the street. Giff, Brooklyn. Melo is different. Melo is different. This one on one player ever.

Huh? The best one on one player ever. And I definitely don't disagree. Besides Kevin Durhan. Yeah, besides KD. I gotta give a shout out to Crump, Shreve and Lowe. That's this spot. My brother bought me, my brother Stiles bought me this IWC.
