Ocho crap. Oh, Ocho, bam, historic 83. Yeah. And it was a reason last night, presented fans

with a choice of four society, look, you had to pick a side. You celebrate it or you audit it. Many are discreding it, because the opponent, the Wizards, are the second worst in the East. Others are discredding it because the heat had filed late in the fourth quarter

to help extend the game. Kobe took 46 shots in his legendary game, three more than Bam, and made 18 or 20 free throws. Bam, took 46 free throws to Kobe's 20. Bam Pierce came to his defense. Katie said, I looked at the stat sheet. It was pretty crazy. 40 shots, 40 free throws, 23s.

But that takes a lot of stamina, man. huge accomplishment. It will be something we talk about forever. Yon says it doesn't matter how you got there. All that matters is that you got it. Look, like in 10, 20, 30 years from now, no one's going to remember how many free throws he shot. I don't think anyone would remember how many shots.

Kobe shot or how many free throws or he made or how many threes. All you remember is 83. Toronto Raptors record, when Kobe broke his record, they were 14 and 26 at the time on January the 22nd, 2006. 12th worst in the east. There was 12 in the east, fourth worst. There was 12 in the east, fourth worst in the east. So what you're thinking, Ocho?

Because a lot of people, everybody talking about, man, out of respect for Kobe, he should have stopped it for 81. Y'all know, the way y'all talk about Kobe, is that what Kobe was? You know what? I'm glad you just say that. The first thing, the first thing when I watched Twitter, when I seen some of the stuff on Instagram is if Kobe was here, Kobe would congratulate him.

Kobe would be happy for him and all the people taking up for Kobe or doing exactly what he wouldn't do. So I understand we are with Kobe fans. We love him. The fact that they had 81 point game but only three people have scored 80 points

with Kobe and Bam. And Kobe would have been happy for him. We know how he is. He celebrated everybody, especially when they hit a milestone of this magnitude. In regards to how you got it, it's still 83 points.

It's still 83 points. Yes. people and this is one of the few times I don't understand why don't why why don't we celebrate things like this i'm not i'm not cor coby fans are unbearable that too i'm not much of a basketball fan that's not the record when colby scored 81 that the record is 100 so somebody needs to score a hundred and one or more points to have the record 81 is not the record i don't get it oh joe's like anything. Sometimes people break records and it takes some more games.

Like when OJ. Simpson broke the record, he broke the record in 14 games. Eric Dickson broke the record in 16 games. Somebody's going to come along if they break the record it's going to take 17 games. So whatever record happens moving forward, and this is what they try to do tomorrow. They're like, well, he did it in 17 games. It's the

NFL record. SAC record. That is the record. But this notion, and I saw when they announced it in the fan, in the crib, they were booing. Why? Yeah. Why?

I don't care if the, yes. See, this, Kobe had a chance because there are games that Kobe had 60 plus and he came out in the third quarter. I like Spoh. Spoh say the way he had it going, I wouldn't even think about taking him out. And I instructed, I instructing the team. Let's see how many we can get him. It happens.

Oh, Cho, you're having a good game. The game T.O. had. That was on Jerry Rice's day. 20 catches. Brandon Marshall, 21 catches. Josh McDaniel says, hey,

we're going to lose this game, but we're going to get you the record. I don't have a problem with it. God, come on, man, we got to stop this, man. It's 83 F. and I get it,

that bam is probably the unlikliest guy. If you were to thought somebody will get it, you say Luca, you say Donald and Mitchell, you say Dame Lillard, you say if somebody like that,

that's going to make 10, 12, 15, 3. You're not thinking no bam out of bio. Bam, I don't even think Bam is averaging 20 points. If you go back and look at the guys that got those kind of numbers, all those guys at the high 20s, even 30s, Lucas been in the 30s, Dave Lillard has averaged 30. Kobe averaged 35.

So we'll average 50 in a game, 44 in the game, 38 in the game. So if somebody like that, I think it's because he's so, unlikely to have done something like this. He does, I mean, and you're looking at him, he's not, he's never, I don't even know if he's ever scored 50 in a game. I don't even know if he's ever scored 40 in a game to go from your high being something in the 30s to all the way to 80s.

That is crazy. Listen, it was dope to me. It was dope to see. I didn't, I didn't believe the stat line when I first saw it. I thought, I thought it was AI, you know, when I saw the 80s. Yeah. And then I saw it go across the ticker on ESP. And I was like, oh, man, that's dope.

That's, that, that is dope. And I was happy. I was hype. And then I go on Twitter. Yeah. I'm like, well, God damn, people write think pieces and, and defending Colby. Yeah. Oh, it don't hit the same.

This, this 83 is different. This 83 is different than Kobe's 81. Kobe did, bro, it's 83 is 80 points. And it. I mean, I think the thing is on choice. Somebody that they can, they got a career high. of 75 yards and all of a sudden they have a 300 yard game. You're like, how do you get a 300 yard game?

The most you ever receiving yards you ever had in the game was 75. And now you got 300? You jump, so you jump over 150, 200, 250 to go from 75 to 3. And I think that's what it is because, and the amount of free throws. I think the most free throws somebody that ever shot in the game was probably, what, 38? I think the white how we shot that many. I mean, check me from, but 46 free throws. three throws.

And they was trying not to. I mean, I saw, I saw clips and they got three people on him and they don't want him to get it. It's crazy. Y'all should have thought about that early before you let the man get 31 in the first quarter. How about that then? That's the time that you say, you know what? A no more, bro.

You let the man get 36 in a quarter, I mean, 31 in the quarter. Then you let him get another 12. So he got 43. Now you let him get another 19. So now you're not Now you're gonna get in trouble And you let him get 21 in the 4th I don't I don't I don't understand it

I mean it's as if I mean it's still basketball It's still the NBA It is And then you know they move the goalposts They move the goalposts maybe because it's bam Maybe maybe if it's Anthony Edwards Maybe nobody would be complaining

I guarantee I bet your door knob to a bucket of Camino Ocho had he just if LeBron had 81 and bam broke down, what you think the discourse would be on the internet? How many people would be throwing a ticker tape parade? That'd have been applauded. You know that and I know that. That's funny.

You know that, but because it was Kobe, Kobe would have applauded this man. Oh, hold on. Y'all don't remember when Kobe dropped 55 on Jordan, and he idolized Jordan. How can he do his idol like that? because Kobe said he would want it no other way. Kobe, I believe Kobe would have been pissed

had a bam come out of the game with 80 or tied with him at 81. Nah, hell no. If I'm spoke, I'm leaving him in the game. I'm going to see if he can get 90. Absolutely. I'm honestly going to see if he can get 90 points in the game. The funny thing about it is all those that are Kobe fans,

they have a right to be Kobe fans, but they don't have Kobe's mentality. They don't have their talent. You know how he operates. You know how he thinks. And you know that he would have actually wanted that. Of course. And look, I don't know how you feel, Ocho.

But I know if I got, let's just say the record is 339. 339 or 36, 36 by Flip. Flip for him got the record. Ocho, you mean to tell me I don't give a damn for some meaningless game? Hey, hey, Shannon, you got 334? what you want to do. I want to go back, hey, let them score a touchdown and let me get back in there

and get 337. That's what you do. Are you something? Something needs to happen that I need to get back on the field and throw, and let me get, and let me break this record. 83 points on Joe?

83? I mean, I'm just thinking. I'm like, man. And like KD. saying, Think about it. That man shot the ball 43 times. And then he took another 43 free throw attempts. He took 22, three-point attempts.

Do you know how much stamina it takes to run up and down the court in this to shoot? I tell you what, you think it's easy? Just, hey, just get you a nice little job and go shoot 80s and go shoot 86 times. Oh, he's in good shape now. And 22 of them in cover three. Oh, he didn't good shape. Yeah. That's what makes Deb Curry so spectacular.

Think about how much money he does And then how many threes he get up Congratulations, Bam I didn't think, I mean, look, and like I said, because he's so unlikely If Dame Liller did that, you wouldn't think anything else All right, Joe, this is going to be right up your alley. He head coach Eric Spostier broke the people

criticized the Bam out of Bios' historic 83-point game Spossohn said, I'm not losing sleep over what people are saying What's ethical or not I would do it 10 times out of 10 again for bam, I'm apologizing to nobody about this. I think most of the people that probably made comments, they didn't watch the game.

That's irresponsible or unethical. You don't even understand the context of the game. Joe, take it away. Man, look, I'm with sport. Hey, man, apologizing for what? Many of men had 31 in the first quarter,

okay, Ocho, hey, look, you probably look up, you're probably thinking yourself, ooh, I got 31 in the first quarter. Oh, we. I'm for sure going to get 50 at night. Yes. You know what? I kind of got this thing going. Then, you know, once you get to a certain point,

your teammates are going to start gravitating, trying to help you out. That's just part of it, bro. You know what I mean? And I think that's why it took such criticism because of how he got it, meaning like how they were kind of basically force-feeding him. But I'm cool with that.

Like, man, 83 points, bro. Come on, okay, Ocho. Yeah. Hold on. So they're talking about, oh, do weathers not any good? good. The Wizards ain't been good all year.

The Wizards ain't been good since they were the bullets. So what was, and we, and the thing, like you said, Joe, he had 31 in the first quarter. Then he get another 12. I got 43 at the half. At worst case scenario, I'm getting 60. Yeah. Hold on. Yeah, you think it's 60.

You got, hold on. Joe, Joe, I got, I got 19 and third. I got 62 now with 12 minutes to play. I'm thinking about catching COVID record. Thank you, Joe. Thank you. I'm thinking, hey, hey, I'm thinking, shit, Kobe had 81.

I got 62 with 12 minutes. Hey. Boy, would a little help from my teammates? I'm out there like, bam, playing wide receiver. They got three dudes guard. Hey, hey, hey, I ain't playing no defense. All I do with is snowboard. I'm chair picking.

Hey, get to the basket. I'm taking off. Hey, throw it down there and hit me one of hell, Marries. Hey, think about it, bro. Like, that's legendary because, obviously, you know, we, we hadn't seen Will, but we know Will got 100 points. Yeah.

Man, can't. Like, Joe, not to cut you off, but people say, man, Will they scored no 100 points. After seeing Bam get 83, everybody said, yeah, Willk got 100. After they saw Bam get 83, because you got to realize, Bam's averaging 19, 20 points a game. So you got 63 more points than what you average. Bam, career high might be 40, 41, 42 points. So now you've got 40 plus points more than your career high. Yeah.

Will. Yeah, I think, I think. 78, a 73, no, Will it had a 70, he had a 71, a 72, what I think the 72 came in 61. But Will it had like three 70 point games that year, 78, 100, a 73 and a 72. So he had four 70-point games in one year. That's crazy.

Man, listen, it's because Bam isn't what we would necessarily call the score. But he got a nice package. You got a nice bag, Uncle Ocho. Hey, look, the man down there in Miami living right, him and Asia, they big boo loving. He's having a good time, man. I'm happy for him, man. You know what's funny, Uncle Joe? is those that actually play the game of basketball,

whether it's coaches, whether it's former players, whether it's current players. I mean, their reaction to it has not been very supportive, you know, if you've heard most of the comments. And, I mean,

I'm somewhat confused. Obviously, 83 is 83. No matter how you splice it, no matter how you try to move the goalpost, no matter how you try to explain it, it's history. I mean, just,

and the fact that I said it, Yesterday, Joe talking with Ang, and if Kobe was here, Kobe would be the first one celebrating it. Man, what? We have all these Kobe fans that are mad that aren't even thinking like Kobe thinks. Kobe celebrates a milestone like that. Absolutely. Not tripping off someone breaking a milestone.

It'd be a congratulations. It's because he passed Kobe. If he had passed, if it was Joe Johnson, if it was anybody else other than Kobe, it would have got applauded. Now, Joe, you was in the league when Kobe, shot 50 times that last game. Ain't nobody

saying nothing. Fifty shots. What are you friends? 60. On 50 shots. Ain't nobody said nothing. Boy, what a performance. You see Kobe. Yeah. What were they doing? What was his teammates doing, Joe? Throwing him the ball. No, they was. Yeah, they was force feeding.

I want to pull up the, I want to pull up what you call them. Because I want to see something. Because I want to see how many shots his teammates. shot because when somebody shoot 50 times, Joe, you might get what, 80, 85 shots in the game and you got 12 players playing and one guy shoot 50 times, how many the others get? Hey, what I think, though, is the fact that everybody knew that was his last game, they wanted to see him go out, they wanted to see him go out with a, I mean, hell, that's a Kobe-like game.

Dang, he shot 50 times. Like, who else going to shoot that many times, bro? Yeah. You know what I mean? No, yeah, okay. So he was, he was 22 of 50, six of 21 from the three. Hurtas had, had, okay, Julius Ratt was one for four.

Roy Hibbert was two of three. Jordan Clarkson was six or ten. The Angela Russell was four of ten. Kelly had zero shots. Tim Black was two or three. Larry Nance, Jr. was three or three. and hurt us was one or two. So they took 85 shots.

This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy, where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now? It's to value time to be cognizant of time and how important time is. because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that push us to grow.

And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since like 30, 40 years ago, right? Like, we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around. Plus, the door always stays open for a third Amigo to pull up a chair. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. They understood the assignment. Ain't nobody have a problem with it. Bam, teammates understood.

Spoh told him, let's see how far he can take. Let's see how far he can take it. I'd have been pissed if they took him out. I ain't going to lie to you, Joe and Ocho. I'd have stayed the whole game because now I'm going to try to get 90. There's a minute and 24 seconds left, Joe. I ain't going to lie. I'm going to try to get 90.

I ain't lying. Like, well, staying at the whole game, Don't just settle for 83. You're saying, keep going. I had a conversation with Ozzie and Brian Billet about Jamal Lewis. Jamal Lewis had 295 yards, Ocho, and they took him out of the game. You mean to tell me y'all can't let that man get five yards? If somebody break 300, I want to be the first NFL player to rush for 300 yards in an NFL game.

They took the man out with like five, six minutes left in the ball game. I don't care. 300? Do you understand what 300? 100 me, Ocho in an NFL game? Oh, absolutely. Hey, listen. Even, even the

Saquan Barclay thing when he could have a running back record. And look, look, look, it ain't no giving you're going to get back there. He didn't have no. As you can see, the next year. You see them? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. You got to take advantage of those moments. We had the same thing. We had the same situation,

Ocho and Joe, with TD. To get 2000. he needed like 177 yards last game of the season. We got everything sold up. The line said we want to get it. Say we want to be in the record books. All right.

Let's go. Let's go get it. I think he went got 187. Hmm. Dang. Yes. Well, bro, history. History.

I still think about it today. Because if you remember Ocho, Adrian Peterson broke Jamar's record. He ran for 296. That was his rookie here. If you break my, look here, if you go for 301, I'm good. But guess what, Ocho? I was the first guy to rush for 300 yards in an NFL game.

In an NFL game. Look, Norman Brand Brooklyn is 500, his record is 500, 50, 50, 50, 50, something yards. The first, there's something about the first. Yeah, people are going to come. I'm behind you. I don't know who's the first person to have a diamond album. A diamond album. But guess what, Ocho?

I was the first. There's been a lot of diamond album. Moran Carey got a couple. Whitney, Michael. Beyonce. Yeah. I was the first. Like I said, if I'm bam, I got 83.

I ain't lying, chat. I ain't coming out. I'm trying to get 90. I ain't going to lie, boy. I'm trying to get 90. Hey, the first certified diamond album was Michael Jackson's thriller. Really? Bless you.

Wait. Yeah, thank you. The first album certified diamond, 10 million plus copies by RIAA awarded in 1984 were Michael Jackson's thriller, certified $20 million, Fleetwood Max Rumors, $12 million, and Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, 11 million. That was the first. But Michael had sold about 100 million copies when that thing 10-time diamond. Ain't nobody beating that. Because they don't need, first of all, they dial, they do what Spotify is streaming now. So, I mean, you're not buying no hard copies.

It was a thing back in the day, Ocho, to actually go buy the hard copy. You could listen to it. You put the headset on, put it on, they let you listen to it. You go to a little mom and pop or you go to Tower Records, and you could actually listen to the album. Like, yeah, I like that. Okay, I'm going to get this. Or you could have

go to Lamont pop shops and they would make you a cassette. They'd make you an eight track. Yeah. I ain't got no problem. And people like, well, they was filing. Okay. Filing, if, did anything happen in the game

that's not a part of the game? Guess what they do every night in the game, Ocho and Joe, file. Yep. Were they filing, bam? They didn't have to file him. They filed him. So he go to the free throw line and he made 36 or 43.

Yeah. I don't know what to tell you. Hey, listen. If I'm on the defensive team, man, I don't know how this man is going to get 83. If he had 31 in the first quarter, Ocho, first off, Uncle, Ojo. My defense, my awareness is going to turn up so high. I'm going to start denying, man, you're not from the 83. I've been in the game.

The highest I've been in the game, Dame Lilla, this is I was playing in Utah. We played against the Blazers when he was in Portland. He gave us like 62. Damn. Look, yeah, I know, Ocho. He was cooking. We couldn't, I'm talking about Badi's three. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm talking about everything. We couldn't contain him in the picking road. He's going by guards. He's just getting what he wants to. So in this same game, bro, I go over 20,000 points for my career. I'm thinking to myself, say, I already knew this coming to the game. I needed like 13 points to go for 20K. Yeah, I went on and got mine out of the way.

First half. I went on got mine out of the way. Man, this joker didn't went for 62. I'm thinking to myself, how in the hell I'm going to get the ball? This dude don't went for a career high 62. Lo and behold, after the game, man, a ball boy brought me the ball. You know, Dame told him to bring it to me. I thought that was cool.

So it's like, you know, I thought that was pretty cool on Dame part. But we've seen Dame explode like that. Dame got a 70-point game. Dame could have got, because I remember calling him. I say, bro, why you didn't? I say, why you didn't go for 80? He's like, show up. I was trying to get it.

80. He said, man, you saw them, they started doubling. Hey, they were leaving other men wide open. They were doubling and tripling him in the back court. But I think he ended up with like 71, 72. I called him. I said, whoa, you got to get 80. He said, man, I was trying.

And he was cooking. And so the thing is, Joe, I think the biggest thing, Ojo and Joe, is that who did it? You're thinking somebody that's a score that's going to get a number like that. Because when you, you're, you know,

You see numbers like that, you see David Thompson, or you see Luca, you see somebody with 70. Those are scores. Bam is not his score. Yeah. And he got 83 of all people. Yeah. That's why everybody's so shocked. Shocked.

Yeah. I'm sitting here. I'm looking across my, it came across my phone. I'm like, you got what? A bloody of mine text me. Say, damn, said, Bam got 31 in the first quarter. I said he'd probably end up with like 50, 55. He said, well, he got 40.

He did he text me back and said, we got 43 at the half. I said, well, let's readjust that. So let's, okay, you're going to get at least 60. Because I'm thinking now, if you get 10 and 10, that's 20, that's 63. He said, when he got 62 at that, I'm like 62 and three in quarters. I said, I said, well, 80 is in play now. Yeah. And I'm down.

He sent me back. he like 81 and then all of a sudden it started bubbling again and you don't like another. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said, what, damn? 83? Yeah. I don't care how you cut it slice it, fellas. That's impressive, man.

Oh, yeah. That's impressive. 83 points, yo. Yeah, listen, because you know, you know, you know what, okay, Ocho, you think about it, he really took, if he shot 40, what, 33 throws and 43 shots. He took 80,000. six shots.

You got to be in shape to do that, man. Yeah. Hey, you think he played the, he played the next game, or do you rest after that? No, he played. He played the night. What he had tonight?

About 20. I think he, I think, I don't even think he had that, for real. They won, though. They beat the buck. I think he had, I think he had like 17. I think he had like 17, Joe. Hmm.

Yeah, he ended with 21. 21. He didn't know it with 21. Okay. Hey, hey, Joe. Joe. What's up? And they canceled

the Magic City thing, man. I know, bro. They still got the game Tia performing at half. I still got the tickets now. What you? Oh, I'm coming. I ain't.

Boy, I'm coming. What you mean? Oh, okay. Okay. I thought we were locked in, twin. Yeah, I don't, I don't bought my little ticket off a spirit.

I'd be there. Yeah, I got you, man. We're good. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. You sure you don't want to join us

at the game? No. I don't got surgery, man. He can limp out there No, he need to get right So I can So I can Get him in that cornhole

Get him in that cornhole There you go There you go I just said get him in the cornhole He won the cornhole I want my get back in there You know, I know he'd be at home practicing in the backyard

When he out there with the dogs I already know what going on I'm trying to show you something Guy Cause people What you got man Zero in on that when I say my buddy

was texting me. Who did you? Could y'all see that? Not really. Damn, bro. I said no one. And then he put 81 and then soon as it started pulling again,

83. He did. He said 83, yeah, yeah, yeah. Guys, y'all think people, I know, look, I know the internet because you got AI and people lie so much. Bro, I ain't got to lie.

What I want to, What do I get? I just want to know, chat. Tell me what, to the guy that wrote. Tell me what I get out of my line. Oh, and I did. I find out, I got another famous number. I got a Justin Timberlake's number in my phone, too.

Okay, okay. I was looking like, well, damn, I forgot I got JT. But I think that's the biggest thing. But check this out, Joe. Gordon Hayward said, I think Bam is one of the best two-way players in the league at his position, but he's not a score, right? So for him to break Kobe's record,

I don't think it's great for the league. I think it's kind of highlights how they're already struggling. It kinds of feel like a pickup game when you're watching. And for him to shoot 43 free throws and 22-3s, when that's not what he does, it almost feels like, and again, the Wizards 2, with all the teams tanking, it kind of makes it feel not legit.

Ocho, Joe? You see what I mean, Joe? Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, like my grandma says, you ain't got nothing good to say, don't say nothing at all, man. No, for real, don't say nothing at all. Man, stop trying to diminish what this man is done. We got a lot of people hating on them that I wouldn't expect the hate to be coming from, fellas. You know what I'm saying?

Like, 83 is 83, bro. Like, unless he took 80 shots, you know what I'm saying? Like, the man, he had it going, man. He had a good night. Regardless if he shot 43 free throws, so what? To get 83 points in the game, man. Did they file him? The question is, I want to know, Ocho, Joe, did they file him?

Were they filed, Gordon Hayward, Anybody else said he shot 43 free throws? Did they file him? That is the question. Because last I checked, when Dr. Naismith wrote it, he wrote files in there. And if you went over a certain number, you got to shoot free throws.

Or if you were in the act of shooting, you shot free throws. Or if you had five files. So the question is, were they filing, bam? Yes or no? Yeah, they were fouling. They could not do nothing with that man.

Do you hear me? I'm talking about, okay, Ojo, the man was in his bag. Like, I knew he had a nice little handle. You know what I mean? I knew he had a nice. He looked like, I'm talking about the way he was coming down, shooting three, getting in his bag. I'm like, hold on.

Thank you. I said the same thing. I said the same thing when they showed it because they showed somebody, I think, what you call them? They showed all 31 of his points in the first quarter on Twitter. on Twitter X. And I'm like, well, damn, Bam, hold up. How you come on take three dribbles past half court and pull up from three?

That ain't your game. But when you hit – Man, look. Joe, just like when you had those back-to-back-back-two-and-yard game, when you in that zone, ain't nothing to do. You in there. Hey, look, look, I'm like, hold on, bro. You've been teasing us.

You got all this in your bag. You give us 83. Come on, man. Like, you know. But what did he say, Joe? He said the same thing. I think Bam is one of the biggest. best two-way players in the league at his position,

but he's not a score. You see, because of who did it. If Dave Liller get this record, if Steph Curry, James Hard, Luca Donchich, somebody that's known for scoring, Kevin Durant is expected. I don't think we got this one's expected.

But because it's bam. What was Bam high this year? I mean, this year, bam high this year might be 30. And to go from a high 30 to add 53 to that, It's just crazy. Yeah, it came. It came out of no way.

And you look at the guys because you look at the guys that got those numbers, those guys are scores. Everybody that's up there, Wilt was a score. Wilt average 30 and 23 for a career. You look at James Hardin. It's known as a score. You look at David Thompson was a score.

Michael Jordan high was 69. A score. Colby's high, 81, score. You look at guys that Luke D'Dompson. is a score. Dame Lillard is a score. We look at Bam. We think at Bam is a two-way player.

He'll get you somewhere 15 to 20. Ain't going to get you somewhere between 8 and 12 rebounds. That's what he is. Great two-way player. Can play defense, can play on-ball defense, can play helpside defense, can rebound the basketball. It's just so unlike him. Anybody, him.

Joel and B. He's a score. We don't look at Bam as a score. And so that's what's throwing people off. But it happens. Sometimes guys have out about the experiences. Look at Flipper. If somebody said, well, who got the most receiving yards

in a single game, Mote, you know? Somebody's, they're going to say Megatron. They're going to say Randem all, Jerry Wright, T.O. It's flip. Little old flip. Yeah. Six foot, 180. Boy, getting down, wouldn't it?

Well, you went crazy, boy. But I ain't, I ain't, I ain't lose no sleep over it. Hell, I've been watching it. I go, I watch it. I'm like, well, damn. Because you don't know, but I, I ain't coming out. I'm going to try to get 90. Keep doing what y'all doing.

That game would have just been ending. Hey, I'm going to get, Joe, Ocho, you seven points away from 90. I mean, you think, can you imagine if that dude, would have got 90. Now I want somebody to get 90 points. For whatever reason, it just feels,

it feels strange, but I feel like it can happen. You know, you just, that first quarter obviously got to be special. You know what I'm saying? That first quarter special,

if you can get 26, 30 points in the first, in the first quarter. Yeah. Then you're thinking like, okay, boom, in half, if I can have 43,

42, 45 at half. Yeah, you got a good chance, I know I'm getting 50. Oh, Joe. Yeah. It's like, it's like, you remember when, um, Tariq, Tyreek had those 200 yards in the first,

it like, and like five catches against Tampa. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he might to break this. I'm thinking he might to break the record. You got 200 and you got a whole half to go. So I'm just knowing, you know, it's like anything. You, you get going and you just like, oh, yeah, it's one of those days.

And you just, I look, I understand y'all can be mad all you want to. Guess what? I'm in the record. And look, there might be somebody

that might break Wilts record and there might be somebody get 90 and push me down to three and somebody might push me down. I might at one point in 50 years from now, I might be 10. But this is what I know. I scored 83 points in an NBA game.

Man, that's, that's, anybody that got something to say, that. Hey, that's nasty words. Michael Porter Jr. said Nicola Yokic is the greatest of all time. People will say Michael Jordan just to agree, but they haven't watched film.

They'll just say it to agree with everyone else. For me, with my two eyes, and from what I've seen, I'm going to say Nicola Yolkich is the best player that I've ever seen. From what I've seen today to day, and I haven't seen anybody as dominant as Yoke. Well, they're saying alive, boy.

But who said that joke? his ex-teamate Yolke's ex-teamate Michael Porter Jr. He played for the Brooklyn Nets. But see, that's what happens. Like you said, with his eyes. Like you said, he said with his eyes. So he didn't see Karee. Yeah, out of sight,

out of mind, what you ain't seen. Yeah. He didn't see Kareem. He didn't see Mose Malone. He didn't see Larry Bird. He didn't see magic. He didn't see Jordan. He didn't. He didn't see that. No. I can't blame him for saying what he seen with his own two acts, but that's what happens with youth.

Because you haven't seen it, you don't think it happens. It's on film. I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies.

Hey, I'm Wilmer Valderrama, and this is Freddie Rodriguez. Welcome back to Dos Amigos. Dos Amigos Season 2, baby! This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy, where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now?

What is the immediate advice you give people right now? It's to value time to be cognizant of time and how important time is, because once the time is up, It's up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that push us to grow. And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since, like, 30, 40 years ago, right? Like, we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around. Plus, the door always stays open for a third Amigo to pull up a chair. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast,

or wherever you get your podcast. It's on film. There's footage. Everybody, everybody. That's your highlight. I'm old enough to remember Kareem. I'm older to remember Kareem. Like I said, go back and look at Kareem numbers when he first got to Milwaukee.

And when he first got to L.A., look at his numbers. He was giving you 33, 34, and 16, 17 for a season. Hmm. He didn't come to the all-time leading score for no reason. And the third leading rebounder for no reason. six-time MVP for no reason. Skyhooking you to death. He has the most unstoppable

everybody. Look, we don't see everybody to perfect. They don't, uh, KD took a, uh, uh, uh, uh, dirt, one-legged step back. You don't see how many people hit Jordan turnaround from Kobe to LeBron to this one. Tell me the person you've seen consistently throw that sky hook. And I'm not talking about the end of the shot clock.

There, that's a hard shot to replicate. Ain't nobody doing that skyhug, boy. That's really the only shot that he and he went throwing it from two feet He thought it for 15 18 feet Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Yeah C'd yeah You couldn't stop it You couldn't stop it You can't stop it Man the game changed so much It has It has

It has It has It's a different game now And I'm not looking I've been a Nicola Yokic fan Everybody can know Y'all know I've been a Yolkish fan, I've been a Luca fan, basically since they got to the league.

And it's going to be hard. It's going to be hard if he were to get another championship or two for Yoke to say he's not a top 10 player. It just deals. Yeah. Because he's going to have championships. He's already got three MVP. He's going to be top three for MVP for the next three, four years.

Now he messed up around and get another and he got four. He got a couple of championships. He got three. I wanted to because, you know, big man, they kind of hard to market, you know, outside. You got to get me the ball, Joe. Yeah. Big man never get no credit.

Nah. We forget about, we forget about Will. We forget about Mr. Russell. We forget about Corrine. The big man ain't going to never get no trouble because somebody got to get in the ball. Yeah. When you got him that ball, he was hell, wasn't it? Yeah.

Yeah. Or is it because the game doesn't look, you know, flamboyant enough when you playing through your big? You know, versus the perimeter guys, they're going to rouse or dives you, cross you over, step your back. You know, that's why they get all the sales when it comes to apparel and things of that sort. But you never see a big man really outside of shack

who probably sold a lot of shoes outside of that. You don't really see big men with shoe deals like that. No, because big, they don't, they're not fancy. They don't, I mean, look at Tim Duncan. They're calling the fundamentals. He ain't do nothing. They had the same expression on his face, just bucking everybody at.

Whop, wop, wop, wop. I mean, he didn't do nothing fancy And he didn't have no finger roll All he just glad I'm like, man, damn! Sometimes I wish the backboard wasn't there I said damn, he's going up the backboard all the time Making that shot

I'm telling you, man, he could, Damn, you bring my half flashbacks Thinking about that man, stop me from getting the ring I could have got me one. Damn, Tim Duncan had. But that's the way it is because when you think about it, Will got 24,000

rebounds. Y'all do realize that man average 24 rebounds for a career. No, no, no, no, no, no. Do y'all realize that? That man averaged 24 rebounds for you, correct? It don't even sound real.

The man never had a season with less than 17 rebounds in a season. That's crazy. He once had a season. He had 40, average 44 and 20. That was after the year you average 50 and 25. Because y'all said y'all thought I was bulljiving. Just so I'm not bulljabing, I'm going to put a 44 and 27 on you.

Hey, Wimby on that trajectory. I'm talking about your word, like, I'm saying I think he's going to be able to dominate Uncle Ocho. And when he really fill out to become who he's going to be, because he ain't but what, 23, 22? Yeah, something like that. Damn Boy, he got a long way to go, boy Boy, at about 25, 26 You gonna be here

If he keeps growing Yeah He just get a little strong In your lower body Yeah And he figured out You figure that part out It's gonna be a rap

You think he's gonna develop Like Janus Like get big like that Nah He ain't He ain't gonna get big like that Yeah Yonis

But yonis Skinny like that too now Yeah he was He was He was Yeah, but that's a lot more to fill out. Yeah, yeah. I don't see it with me.

I think he's going to get a lot stronger, oh, Cho. You know, he might get, he may get him a little girth on there, but, man. Just so, just so, uh, uh, just so people can't move him, you know, try to play through his body and move him off his spot. Yeah, but, uh, he, he was talking about the women to develop the sky hook. man don't let that man develop no skyhook how to head you can't block care that he's 7-2 what the hell you're going to do with a man 7-4-7-5 throw the sky hook

from 9 feet high now but look I get it because you look at yoke and the stuff that he's doing we've never seen a big man this skilled offensively that could score the basketball could assist the basketball there have been very few bigs that they ran the offense through

we've seen point forwards but they run the offense through him yeah He's going to average another triple double this year. Yeah. I think it's the grace that he plays with Arkansas. How he makes the game look so easy, so simple. Like, you know, it don't even seem like he really out there trying that hard if I'm being 100 with you.

You know, when I watch him play, it's like because if you give him one-on-one coverage, he's going to pick whoever that is guard, he's going to pick him apart so quick. And it's like then if you double him, he's always looking for the open man. He's a past first big. who can score. You know what I mean?

So it's fun to watch him. It's fun to watch him work. And he's going to be, he's going to be hard to stop too, man. That's why I say the West so tough because by the time whoever comes out of the West, they're going to be so beat up because from the first round all way into the West to the finals, boy, you're going to have a headhunters on you. You got your hands full. He's on pace Joe to lead the league and assist again.

You know, Will did it. many years ago, but this guy's leading the league in the sense with double, double digits, which is crazy. It don't make no sense, man. It's crazy. It don't make no sense. Like I said, his touch around the basket is second than none. I've seen a lot of big.

I mean, so we go back to the mid-sevests and come forward. I've never seen a big with that kind of touch. No, I ain't either. I ain't either. I ain't either. I ain't either, Ocho. So I think for Denver, it's all about how healthy they can get. or how healthy Gordon could get

because he's the one guy who can definitely help Murray and Yokic. You know, when he comes to the- Yeah, and get Watson back. Yeah, and get Watson back. They got to get them dudes back healthy. So they get them back, they get those guys back healthy. It's going to be very interesting because, you know, look, come playoff time, Murray and Yoke.

They're going to be Murray and Yoke. It's Gordon. When Gordon gave you that third option. Yeah, yeah. He gave you that third option. He's going to be tough. He's going to be, he's going to be tough. He's going to be tough.

They're going to be tough to beat. Yeah. Because, you know, you don't know. What do you do? Do you let him get 50? Or do you let him get 25, 30 with 20 rebounds and 15 assists? Oh, my God. Because you add his mercy.

Yeah. Like you said, they don't have, they don't have one guy that can stop it. You got to bring the double. You got to bring help. And it just come now. anytime a guy gets double, Joe, and you know this, it's up to the guy. If they're knocking down shots, he's like, hey, f-it.

We'll get the next game. Yeah. Yeah. Because if you don't come, he's going to punish it. If you do come, he's going to kick it, and the guy's knocking down shots. Yeah, you got to pick your poison. Loo-l-lose situation, huh?

Yeah. Hey, that's why they, you know, a lot of teams starting to be physical with a lot of these guys, too. You know, have them crying. and whining to the referee. Got you trying to wear them down. Like, man, we know we ain't going to stop you, but if we can frustrate you and had you teed off out here

to where you get a couple of ignorant files and you have to go say out, then we've done just as good a job. You know what I mean? Yeah. So we'll see. The one thing we do know, he has at least five more years.

Let's see what his numbers are. Let's see what he's done. Has he won more championships? Have he won more MVP's? And then we're going to have to have a serious, serious discussion because the numbers are going to warrant and the wars are going to warrant. It's just a matter how many championships does he have.

Yeah. Because it's going to warrant some consideration. It's going to want consideration. It's going to put them at the top. Yeah, absolutely. Because there ain't a whole lot of guys that got, I mean, you got to go back. Only, let's see,

Kareen with six MVP's. You got Jordan and Russell with five MVP. and you got LeBron and Will with four MVP's. You're talking about what you? Moses Malone has three. So Magic has three. Bird has three.

So now we're talking about he already has three. Now you mess around and get him and let him get a fourth and a fifth and he gets a couple of championships. Now what are we supposed to do with that? Just ignore it? Oh, let me guess.

He played a soft error. There's always going to be something. So we're going to, see. Before we move on, Joe, the social media team had this post yesterday. Look at Joe. What happened, bro? Joe, what are you? Oh, man, what y'all got going on?

Joe, what's going on? Joe? Do you know anything about wrestling, Joe? Yeah, I know something about wrestling. Well, uh, junkyard dog. Well, CM Punk. Huh? Seam Punk did that when he beat Seth, where he won the belts. So he was making fun of

Seth Rollins and his and his, and Becky. So they got the championship. So he's like, I got the belts now. So that's what he was doing. So we were spoofing, we were spoofing that. And people were like, man, why y'all do Joe like that? Clearly, y'all not wrestling fans. Because if you were wrestling

fans, you're the new CM Punk did that and we took that from CM Punk. Yeah. They thought you- Can we pull up the clip to see a punk? Oh, they thought you were going. You see Joe? Yeah, yeah. They thought you were trying, they thought you were trying,

they thought you were trying, they thought you're trying, on the king. Hey, hold on, whoa. See, ain't nobody thought that. Ain't nobody thought that for you added that, Joe. Shame on the who? No, I'm saying, I'm telling you what social media. I'm saying, I'm telling you what social media had no hat on. I'm telling you what social media were thinking,

they were thinking like, oh, man, they try to put, they try to put shame on the king. That's what they were thinking, oh, Joe. Yo, you can't self-proclaim yourself as a king. You can't do that, Joe. Ocho, do we have to go through this every time, man? You can't call yourself the king. You have to be appointed.

I was anointed. By who? Ocho, you know what I was in high school, this back in 1999, back in Little Rock, Arkansas, at D. Little Rock Central. You know, I won a homecoming king, Ocho. I was anointed back in the day in high school. Really?

So we're about to close the chat. Damn. What's up? What's up, fellas? Y'all was trying. Are we good, Joe? No. Yeah, we got everything good, Joe.

In the four years to the day the last appearance in his NBA game, Dwight Howard is officially retired from professional basketball. Joe, Ocho, you first Joe, where do you rank Dwight? Oh, I got him up as far as Senna's up. He up there, bro. He up there. I had a chance to play against him in a couple playoff series to where it was nothing we could do, bro. We had to let the man, like we had to play him straight up because they were so good.

This is the year they went to the finals. They beat us that year. But then in the following year, we beat them. But he was so dominant. Like I'm talking about, like, to the point, defensively, he could anchor the defense by himself. He was crazy athletic at 6-11, jumping out the gym like that. Like, defensively, bro, he just wrecked the game.

It was just, it was special to watch, you know. You talk about, hey, Jodis or Orlando Magic is right. Yeah, yeah. For the back injury. He used to get to it, boy. He had everything. He had, you know, he came into the league, not really to score, just a, you know,

rim runner and then he developed you know developed some post moves down in the post Uncle Ocho to where he was effective and next thing you know he was unstoppable he was unstoppable he was unstoppable he had a good career he had a great career actually Hall of Fame one. The only thing I say they did him wrong

he deserves to be one of those top 75 players there are some guys that got on there and I love Anthony Davis is phenomenal but Anthony Davis has not had a better career in the White Howard when they selected his team he didn't right I'm sorry guys I'm sorry.

And that's not, and I respectfully, and I think, I think, I think Anthony Davis is a phenomenal player. And he's gotten and earned everything that he deserves. Dwight Howard is one of the 75 best players in NBA history. His resume, the defensive player of the years, the all NBA selections, he finished second in the MVP voting. He anchored a team that went to the NBA finals. They lost to Kobe. But Dwight Howard is the top 75 player. Absolutely.

Now, look. Absolutely. We start talking about sinners. You got Shaq and you got Kareem. You got Mr. Russell. You got Wilk. Moses Malone. Yoke.

Embed. No, I ain't taking the beat over him. What do you rank among? What do you rank Dwight? I'm trying to get to the first of all. Kareem, Mr. Russell, Wilk, Shaq, Moses Malone. Nicola Yokic. That's six there.

What you put him at like, seventh, eighth? It centers, yeah. I'm thinking so, Ocho. Oh, no, no, no, no. He died from Hakeem. What the hell? Yeah.

What the hell? Dave. David Robinson, you put Dave Robinson? David Robertson? Yeah. You forgot, but Tim Duncan considers it. He'll power for it, huh? He'll four.

Power four. Okay. Yeah, man, I don't know where you have. You haven't lost my damn mind. So, yeah, I think you're a top 10 center. I think I'll give him top 10. Yeah, yeah. He ain't in the top five.

Yeah, he had a good career. Ocho, it's time to play a presented by prize picks. Oh, okay. Damn, what animation. All right, Joe, Dijon. Monti Murray, 21 and a half, points and assist. So when you combine points and assist, he'll have at least 21 and a half.

Hey, hey, hold on, hold on. Dee Murray, he's been out there acting a little different. Standing old foes and all kind of men's ain't a man. Ain't a man. Hey, look, look, I like his energy. I say he's going to be over there. He ready. Hey, look, he's down for whatever.

He over there, Uncle Ocho. Points and assists? Yeah. Yeah, he's getting to it. He ain't playing. Derek Queen, two and a half assist. Yeah, I like Bigfellow. He can pass that.

He got a nice deal for the game. He can pass at Ocho. As a center, he bring the ball up to court sometime, kind of like Yokic. You know, they start the offense with him. Yeah. Kevin Durant will have at least 25.5 points. Who they're playing?

Oh, they're playing. I think they're playing. the pelicans, right? Yeah, they're playing the pelicans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, here. He'll get on some work. And last but not least, Portland versus Utah, Robert Williams, seven and a half rebounds.

Hold on, Robin, Robin Ball, I've been checking him out. The only thing is, is he starting, I think he's coming off the bench. I think he does, too. And seven to a half rebound, that's a lot, but I ain't going to lie. He's been putting those on. Some decent numbers. Can you click? What did he add the last couple games?

You see it like that. Oh, yeah. Boy, that's you. Yeah, it looks just like me. I just use a younger picture. Why you use a younger picture, Ocho? You ain't looked like that in 25 years. Yeah, but I want to use a picture when I was sexy.

See this, hey, Joe, this is the picture, right? Yeah. But people are going to look at you and look at you now, Ocho, you got to use a more updated picture. Nah, but, hey, Joe, this is when I was the sexist man in the year. I get that. But that was 20 years ago. People looking at you now. Right.
