I don't think we see. I mean, Detroit Pistons. The Pistons. I don't think we are nobody Anyone is surprised by that The Lakers are playing too well Luca is a super super superstar The last thing you want them to do is

Our board. Leading the league and scoring That's going to be a big game for him Obviously you know They want the Lakers to keep winning too Anybody that's been in Atlanta You all know If you're Atlanta you're a guy

You know by the Claremont Lounge You know exactly what I'm talking about 70 Man, some of my mocho, they ain't got stretch marks. Oh, man, come on. Hey, I'm telling you, like, oh, no, I ain't no way. What you were doing now? You know, I, I have.

Because, you know, like, you got a staple, an institution somewhere. And you say, man, you just got to see it. You just got to see it. Yeah. I might have to pull up over there to clear mind. Yeah, how many times you went there? I ain't went but like once or twice. Because the first time, you got to go to the second time

to make sure what you saw the first time was legit. Make sure. And I went on a different night. So you got to make sure because it might, you know what? It might have been an old time was night. Right, right, right. So I just had to make sure what I saw the first time, like, yeah, this is what they got.

Hey, but y'all shut out, man. Hey, you know, y'all got me hype, man. You know what, after the show, I'm going to go to a booby trap tonight. What are you going to go eat? Man, you're going to go. No, you're going to take your ass to bed. This is Leib McClough. No, no, no.

I'm going for real. I'm not going to say. Yeah, you ain't going nowhere. Hey, Joe. Hey, somebody put the, uh, uh, uh, it's on punts. It's on puns. Yeah, they got it up. Yeah.

I'm, I'm telling you. I'm telling you, I'll tell you, now. No, I don't get been in no five. I've been there twice. Lakers March, they're 11 and 1, 125, a hundred and 21.5 offensive rating, a 112.8 defensive rating. Luca is averaging 37 points, nine rebounds, eight assists. Austin Reeves is averaging 21 points, five rebounds, six assists.

LeBron is averaging 19.6 rebounds, six assists, and the Lakers are. So what you think now, Joe, after what you've seen over the last, let's just say the last, basically last month since March, you think the Lakers are playing themselves, are playing themselves, into being contenders. I don't know about, like, championship contenders. I think they can get out the first round depending on who they play against.

But champions, that's saying a lot. That's saying a lot, man. I know they're playing good. They're feeling good. They're looking good, but I don't know about contenders. You think they're contenders? I don't know. I think they can beat everybody in the West.

I don't know if they can, I don't really think they can beat San Antonio or Golden. O. KC. Okay, C. But I've seen Luca take down OKC by himself. Him and Kyrie, I saw that. Yeah. Yeah. I saw that.

OKC. So I know, I know what Luke can do. Yeah. The question is he's going to need Austin because Kyrie was able to have some big games. He's going to need LeBron. Yeah. efficient. Yes.

Somebody told me, yeah, they got a couple of bullet wounds. They got some little exit wounds. Yeah,

they do. Little style marks. Somebody don't put out a cigarette or something on them. It's okay. We go ahead. Steph Curry teased the idea

of possibly joining the Charlotte Hornets after his father's Dale Jersey was retired by the franchise earlier this week. Always keep your options opens.

Like you saying, I know what that means when you get your jersey retired. It's immortalized. Nobody should ever be able to touch it. But I'm sure he would make an exception. He would make a special exception if that were the case. Joe?

You saying if Steph Curry go to Charlotte and get his dad's jersey after rafters? I don't see that. They definitely be sold out every night. I know he's from now. I know that's home from. But I can't see that. I can't. I'm sorry.

I can't see it. I don't see it. of a Golden State. Yeah. Steph is in an era where everybody's kind of moving around. Steph is a one-jurgy team. One-Jurgy guy? I don't know about that neither, fellas.

Do you think Steph might be able to deal? I don't know. I think it might be possible. I mean, I think the Warriors probably, if they ain't making a play in, Arcan Ocho, they ain't in the playoffs. It's like, man, don't let them go out. Don't let them go out like that.

Like, I think you can trade him and he can still contend for a title. You put him on the right team. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah. Absolutely. I just think that course is kind of ran when it comes to Golden State. Yeah, they're going to get back there. I don't see that.

No. I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies. Since retiring from the NFL, I've had a lot of my mind and now got my own show.

Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of

the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon? change the paddock forever. That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap,

scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I make people. are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. SEC is so deep and so thick and just about everything. It really is annoying.

So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU, only ones that could possibly upset Yukon.

And I'm Brianna Stewart. And our podcast, Game Recognized Game, has never been done before. Two active players giving you a real look at our lives and what we actually think, on and off the court. Nothing's off limits. We talk trade requests. What's the vibe of that when it's like your star player is like, well, I want to leave? And then actually now I'm going to stay.

We talk tanking. I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble. for this answer, but I think it's, like, definitely happening in the WBA. And yeah, we talk about our mistakes, too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man, you can't be rolling around the city like this

tonight before games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever. And of course, family stories. They'll be like, Mommy, why did you miss that? Mommy, do you play basketball? Check out Game Recognized game with Stuy and Miles on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts. Prapped, yeah.

Drey Mon Grie said Kay Cunningham is not going to make the all-MBA team because the dumb-ass 65-game rule. Dre said it doesn't fix the issue. Like it does not fix the issue at all. And here's a guy that's done everything right. He has a collapsed lung and he's going to miss the all-MBA team because this dumb-ass rule. The rule does not fix the issue.

It's just ridiculous. So here we go again with these unintended consequences. because if you think about it, Joe, making the all-NBA selection, that adds another $50, $75 million. Now, Cade Cunningham is going to miss out. Hey, look, now somebody else will step in. Somebody else going to get a big old contract, Joe.

That's how it worked. Yeah. Yeah. It's, hey, it's unfortunate because you had these unforeseen injuries, bro. Yeah. Like, I've seen an injury, and it's like, dang, a collapse long? Like, bro, this basketball, that don't, that don't happen.

You know what I mean? And it's like, now he's going to have to miss out on all these other accolades because of this. It's unfortunate, bro. I ain't going to lie to you. Now, they put the rule in because they wanted guys to stop all of the rest. Oh, that load management. You know, they wanted to cut it down.

But it's going to hurt some guys who don't load manage. You know what I mean? like Cade, unfortunately. Yeah, for sure. And you see those guys, you see what it does. It gives, Shay was able to get that extra money because he's an all-N-B-A selection. Jay Dubb was an all-N-A selection.

So you see these guys getting this because they wanted to reward. It's a blessing and a curse. Prior to 19, prior to 1980, the player selected the MVP and the all-N-B-A team. Yeah.

But they're like, man, y'all be tripping. I don't like you so I ain't vote for you. So they put it. They gave it to the writers. But now the writers have so much control. They get to determine who's going to get these two, three, four hundred million dollar contracts. But whether you like it or not. Yeah, that's crazy.

Oh, Joe, it's been like that in football. They select the all pro teams. They select the all pro teams. Damn. At least the pro bowl is kind of divided up. You got the fan vote. You got the players vote, and then you got, you know, you got the coaches, the general manager, whatever the cage may be. So it's the three-tiered system.

But all pro, it's all writers. The NBA, all NBA selection, all defensive selection, it is what it is. Mm. So. There is no perfect answer. Because if you don't think players are biased, you're fooling yourself because they're human. Right. Mm.

Guys vote. for the Pro Bowl, guys vote for your bro. I'm like, bro, how you, bro? Really? Really? That's why they took it out. I mean, look, I know, but I took it serious because I know, look, because I want guys to be rewarded for their work, Ocho.

And it might be, it might just be this one year that he had an out-of-body experience and he deserved to go to the Pro Bowl. But you want to put somebody in there that's going, he had already gone five, six times. But he did deserve this issue. Yeah, and nothing they can do about that rule, huh? It's too late. They voted on it.

Yeah. They voted on it. They said 65 games. That's messed up. I mean, listen, they're 65 games for those so they don't pull load management. There should be some type of, some type of grace period for those that are actually, that are actually getting injured. Right.

Like, injured for real. where it doesn't affect him the same. I mean, how did, I mean, collapse lungs? So what did he do? Was he in a car crash? Nah. He got, didn't he get knee, Joe? Did he get knee?

Yeah, he got knee onke in his side, like during the game, going for the ball. But he stayed in the game. It wasn't like, it didn't look like nothing major. But you could see him. He kept reaching like this. Like he was trying to say, he was wrong.

And he went to the side. And they took him to the back. And he, you know, just a regular routine play, bro. It takes a tremendous force to collapse along because that's why you got ribs there. Yeah, he need him. He'd need him right down there, yeah. Raising banks back at work later today, baby.

Whoopi. Yeah, I got you. I got you, Joe. I got you. I got you. Yeah. Hopefully they don't have to put no run no tube down and inflate it. Maybe with some just rest, it'll inflate back on its own.

Mm. Damn. But we've all had the, That's why it's Aeron data So That's why That's why you got to be so lucky

Bro to win Man Because it's like Everything could be going Great You could be having A hell of a season And something like this

Happen Ocho Yeah It seemed like it may be nagging too I can't see how it wouldn't be a nagging How it wouldn't linger It says chest injury Blunt Force trauma Like a car accident

Or sports collisions Penetrating trauma Gunshots Stab wounds Can Break Ribs or puncture the lung directly. Small air blisters called bleaves can form on the top of the lungs and burst allowing air to escape the chest cavities. This often happens without warning,

particularly in a tall, thin people. So you guys are more susceptible because you're tall and thin. You know what I'm saying? Hey, you see that Joe? That come in, see Joe? All this coming in there. Oh, Joe, what's you over the door? Hey, he said thin.

He's talking to you, Joe. He ain't talking to me. You ain't thin? Man, Joe, I'm every better to 20 right now, Joe. Hey, you see how I'm feeling out this jacket, huh? Hey, you got to cheer. Oh, Joe, Joe, Cade missing time could potentially open the door for Jane Duren

to make an all-MBA team making him eligible for the five-year, 200, $188.8 million. Ooh. So look, look, look, look. See, it helps somebody, help your teammate. Hey, Kate already got by what? He got about 260 already.

He designed by 26 and what the K sign for? But see, here's the thing, no, Joe. I'm trying to get me two more all-N-BA selection. So guess what? When that contract come up again, pooh-boo, super max again? 300. Yeah, sir. Well, that's out, I ain't going to say it's out of the picture,

but you didn't have your home. You have five years, 269? Yeah, yeah. Five years, 269. That's just, ugh. That's filthy. That's good work, yeah, boy. That's good work.

That's filthy. It's filthy. Kevin Durand is 26th away from passing Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. Obviously, LeBron James is a 1 at 43,000-229. Kareem is next at 3,387, followed by Carl Malone at 36,928. Kobe Bryant is number four at 33,643. Michael Jordan is currently in the number five spot at 32,292, followed by Kevin Durant, Dirk Noviceky, Wilk Chamberlain, James Harden,

should be the next player that break into the 30,000 club. Shaq rounds out the top 10 with 28,500, 5-9%. 96. Hey, congrats to Katie. Oh, yeah. That's impressive. I mean, y'all know MJ, my idol. To be able to pass him, I'm sure that'll be a hell of a defeat for Katie. I'm happy for him. He's one of the best scores ever played this game. Super elite, super efficient. I enjoy watching them play. They beat my Hawks tonight. No, no, no, no, no. They blew the Hawks out of Joe. They broke our street. They got. They got. They got at us. They got at us. They got it.

They were Reed Shepard block old boy, a boy dunk, Joe. It went down here to herd from there. Hey, Reed Shepard. Hey, he can play. Yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah, I like, I like, he go out there.

He compete, bro, he compete. I like it. Conchernepal, Gillespie from Phoenix? Yes. Hey. Ballas. He getting at it.

Yeah. Those boys, who? Yeah. I mean, that's a lot of points. But, you know, in order to hit, in order they reached those milestones, you've got to be available too, aren't? Yeah.

I agree, Ocho. He couldn't fly. He probably, he was so peed off about the two games against the Lakers. He had to take it out on the other. Yeah. Because you can't fly. Normally they leave you,

they normally leave you overnight at the, in the hospital. because Kay took a car service back to Detroit because when you fly, you can't fly with a collapsed lung. Yeah, you can't fly. No, no, no, no. But they normally leave you overnight and then, you know. But man, KD. doing this, man, look,

the efficiency in which he does it, it's crazy. It is, bro. It's a beauty to watch, though. But you got guys, I mean, you guys talk about what he did in this amount of time. realize look at the amount of shots that he took it's shots you talking about years I'm talking about shots oh Joe if somebody thought if a quarterback throws the ball five if let's just say for the sake of argument quarterback throws the ball 50 times a game he

should have the most passing yards at the end of the year right absolutely thorn you get your game yeah Jordan was taking 25 26 shots a game so what do you what talking about that's not the diminishing but i'm saying y'all try to diminish somebody because y'all said well he did it in this amount of time but even though the amount of times look how many shots he's record look how few fewer shots that he had kd's shooting 52 53% from the floor amazing it doesn't take away any somebody passing an all-time grade it doesn't take away from the great that they're passing because he did that jordan got you cannot take six titles you can't take five in You can't take 10 scoring titles.

You can't take the all NBA selections and you can't take the six final MVP's. But if you are an athlete and you pass somebody that's this story. Right. Bro, that's why you hear him say, bro. My name's going to be in this list. Yeah. Yeah. I'm, they got a celebrate.

Yes. We got to celebrate them, especially. when you hit a milestone like that. No matter how you feel about Katie, whether you don't like him personally, where you don't like his game, top five, whatever it may be.

You got to celebrate, you know, someone doing something like that. And it's okay. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, the,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, whatever I do,

it does not take away from what Ozzie did, what John Mackie, what Dicka, what Big Kellin did. What Gron did. What Gron did. is done what Gates what Neff Kelsey is done uh uh Whitten that don't take away from me I did what I did congratulations to those guys I don't feel like man do you feel no I got

everything out of my career I could get that's what that's what that's what my numbers were intended to be that so them breaking past me and I when I left I was number one hell I don't know where I'm now Kelsey's passed me witness past me Gates has passed me Gonzo has passed me. Hell, somebody else's about to pass me pretty soon. That's okay. You know, I don't feel any less because these guys are passing me about my career.

And I don't think anybody should feel, man, man, them joke with them past me, man, what people gonna say, huh? Yeah. Kareem, like, people didn't think nobody could get this record because big, only bigs played that long. Because they were the ones that didn't have, you know, Hey, go back and look at Kareem.

Hey, Kareem get the rebound, kick that bang, amble down the coat. Yeah. Give it to me magic. Yeah. But for a guard, a guy that, like LeBron, to have the ball that length of time and to play that long, that's why nobody thought, because what, thank you about what you have to do.

LeBron had the average 25 points a game for 20 years. For 20. People don't understand how insane that is. So when you look at Brady and look at the records, I mean, think about how long you're going to have to play just to break his passing record, his touchdowns record. Yeah, you're going to be able to, it's going to be, hey, they're going to go into 17 games,

and they're going to go eventually going to get an 18 game. So, Ocho, so when you think about it, a guy played 15 years, that's basically two seasons right there of games. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes. So when you look at a guy play, guy play 15, you know, 17 seasons,

he's going to end up playing basically three more seasons. So now the number's going to be skewed, but it don't take away anything, guys. It doesn't. No, no. Hey, but I think, I think LeBron going to continue to play guys because he's going to put this out of reach. He does.

Yeah. He may, he may not never come out of sense. said, but I promise you, he won't put this out of reach. I told somebody, I think he's going to play 25 seasons. Do you really? You heard Kevin the Rand, Kevin the Rand saying if he really want to, that's up to him. But he can play another four or five years.

He can play until he's 45. Yeah, I think it's just more, it's just more of the demanding on the body if you want to continue to have to go through them, you know, them tough workouts or continue to stay disciplined. And Joe, do you still want to put that time? It's easy to put that in when you make. making $55 million. Do you want to put that same kind of time in

when you're making a million, $1,000, $2 million, $3 million, on event minimum? A mid-level exception? Do you still want to do that day, though, Joe? And if them endorsement is right, I'm sure you will. He got that on lock. That ain't, that ain't going to way. That ain't going to way.

You know, he got the Nike deal. He has other stuff going on. So he's going to have money coming in. He got a lifetime contract with Nike. That's probably playing them $25, $30 million a year for, He's long as he's breathing. Hey, and I've been seeing him in his golf bag too. You picked that up.

Yeah. He picked that up. I guess he's like, you know what? Hey, and when you hit the road, he picked up a little late. He probably should get on that thing like Steph did way, way early. But the thing is with golf is that you gotta play it so much to really get good at it.

It ain't something that you can go down and like, okay, I pick it back up in two weeks, three weeks. You gotta be obsessed with it. And it can take it. It takes years, Joe, you know. It take years of good at it, especially if it's not your respective craft. But, hey, hey, Joe. These dudes be, hey, my homies be at the golf course, bro.

Eight hours, okay, old joke. Out of the day. You got to. Eight hours, bro. You got to. And it takes guys, if you look at the guys that are good, it got guys that don't have this. You look at the guy, the quarterbacks. Quarterbacks don't develop their shoulders.

Yeah. You look at the basketball players. You look at the baseball player. You look at the guys that don't develop their shoulders because you got to be fluid. I'm too tight. I only go to go back so far. And you got to be able to be loose through here, man.

You need, you don't need no abs, you need a little gut. Yeah, yeah, it's all in the here. Yeah, you need. That's what you need. But, man, this is amazing an accomplishment, man, to see, um, Kevin and Red, I bet you if you'd ask KD, you know, he's like his goal.

I want to play in the NBA, blah, blah, blah. It's like, but when you retire, you're going to be in the top, you're going to be top five score. Man, what? And the history of the game? Right. And you see those great names that's up there?

And you start from zero. Yeah. Man, because when you first started playing the game, Uncle Ocho, you just want to show you blown, bro. You ain't thinking about, oh, man, I'm going to try to be a top 10 score in the NBA. Right. You just want to show you belong.

And then as the journey continues, you know, you start to receive all these different accolades. And he's like, hold on. Now he ain't reached. He's going to pass MJ. Oh, man. Come on. It's like some things like when you just say MJ

or you're in a conversation with, man, you tie Wilk. Wilt. M.J. What? That's great news. It's like if you were a quarterback and you did something, you up there with Brady, you up there with Manning. Like, damn.

Okay. Yeah. When somebody said Mike Cabin's got 11 consecutive thousand-yard season, he tied Jerry Rice. Who? Jerry. Lord, have mercy. But KD., congratulations, bro.

SGA says Luca and Yokic fans don't complain about free throws when their favorite players get called, but you'll never hear an OKC fan complain about my free throws. Y'all never hear Denver fans complain about Yolk's free throws. You'll never hear Laker fans complain about Luca free throws. It's just part of the game. SGA, you're doing something right when fans start to complain.

Everybody in the history of the NBA has an art where everyone loves and then everyone hates them. LeBron was hated and look what he's done for the game. It's part of the game. I love it. It's stuff I dreamed about as a kid. And you're right.

Absolutely right. I think the only guy, I don't think, look, we don't have media, we didn't have social media, so there's no way to definitively tell. But it's hard for me to believe that Magic and Bird and Jordan was ever disliked to this level. Now maybe in their prospective cities, Boston hated Magic Johnson. Laker fans hated Larry Bird.

Nick's fan hated you a so we understand that. But for the totality of it. Nah, nah, no. And like I said, we can't defend him no Ocho because we didn't have social media. So it would have been interesting to see if we can chart it. It just so happened to now. can chart it. We can see who gets the most negative, you know, stuff on social media and it's been LeBron James, like 10, 15 years running. Yeah. Hey, when you, when you're great, bro, when

you're great, they're coming at you, man. Come on the territory. I don't care what it is. Just like what she was saying about the foul thing, they're talking about he'd be foul baiting and all that. Right. I don't think of that. Well, I think, I just think he knows how to manipulate the game to where he can get to what he want. He can get his 30 points, 30 plus points a night. And he'd know you can't stop it. Now, he may be shooting, you know, a high rate as far as free throws, but he got plenty of game. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

So they acting like he can't average 30. Yeah, they're getting 30 points a night from the free throw line. Y'all better stop. Yeah. Yeah. Man, shooting 50 plus percent from the damn floor. Do you know how many guards have actually shot that well from the floor and scored 30 points? It ain't been a minute, bro.

Okay, I'll cut it off for you. Jordan. That's it. That's it. That's it. 430 and shoot 50% from the floor. Jordan. Michael, J. Jordan, Mike, MJ,

whatever you want to call it. Erdness. That's it. To score that many points and to shoot that high percentage from the damn floor? Yeah. Come on, man.

You got to have your mind made up when you coming to the game every night. I don't get what he doing. He's doing something right. He'll be back-to-back MVP. That speaks ball. They're going to hate him even more. They're going to hate him even more.

Sure. Oh, yeah. But everybody, everybody have that run. You know, James Hardin had that run where he was shooting a bunch of free throws. Joel and Bede had that run where he was shutting to shoot in a bunch of free throws. Yeah.

Yeah. That goddamn James should be killing that thing, boy. That got damn step back, Joe. Hey, he had. He looked like, hey, he'd be looking like he traveling, but he's not. He got a lot of it. I'm telling you, when you left-handed,

I already feel like you got. Yeah, man. It's something about the lefty, man. They see you craft as hell. Yeah, they are, bro. They are. And the fact that James left-handed can shoot, can get by his man, he got an in-between game, he can get all the way to the bucket. When he left OKC, bro, he was thriving. It's just like Manu. Remember how crafted Manu was like that? Yeah. Somebody, Genoley? Man, that left hand, it's something about a lefty, man.

Couldn't stop it. Can't stop it. Can't stop it. Crazy. drafting this. Oh, the Indiana Pacers would reportedly, reportedly consider drafting Cam Boosier number one overall, knowing the NBA that I've consulted project, any sort of dramatic ball, either Peterson or Boozer. When it comes to Booser, in fact,

there are a sentiment among some rival teams that the Duke star would be Indiana's preferred. I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies.

I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I make people. are kind of sleeping on Texas.

Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. SEC is so deep and so thick and just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU, only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On flagrant and funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments the conversations everyone's having.

They pulled me to their side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man. You can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever.

because of the potential fit alongside Pascal Seaccom and newly required Ibiza Zubot. Joe? Hey, I think he would fit. I actually think Booza would fit great with Indiana. I ain't going to lie to y'all. I just don't know if they're going to get the number one pick. But I can see him playing alongside Zubak, though.

A good stretch, a good stretch. for yeah you know I mean he can shoot the three I just don't post up a little bit I just I look I think he's phenomenal and there's a great chance he's gonna be player the year but I don't know if I can take him over AJ DeBonza I just see too much upside Joe no I agree you don't see the upside with booza though you don't see the upside but this kid here different yeah man because he gonna have a ball six nine nine with the ball. Yeah.

Sheet with the ball. Luca with the ball. Cade with the ball. Antman with the ball. Yeah. See, it's different when you've got the ball. He'll have the ball. I want to see these guys.

Yeah. I want to see these guys get into a situation where they can really flourish, though. Yeah. You know, I want, I want, because I think these guys can be special. Some of these talent coming into the NBA this year that's going to be in this year's draft.

It's a special talent, man. but I don't want to see them, honestly, coming off the bench being this spark plug, man. Let them do is play, man. Yeah, I just think, I think, Utah, Utah praying. There are a lot of people praying in Utah right now that they get that number one pick and get the Bonza. Because if you start getting that pick,

they take an AJ DeBonzer. They're not taking P. Oh, no doubt about it. They're not taking Cam. Yeah. They're not taking anybody. They're taking AJ DeBonza. No doubt about it. No doubt about it.

I just feel like they're going to get it too. What's up? Hey, Joe, y'all don't, y'all don't think, is DeBonser that much better than Peterson? I think he better than it. And I think he's, I think it's six, nine. He'll buck it. Everybody keep talking about Peters in the bucket.

DeBons are a bucket? Yeah. Yeah. And not only that, DeBonska, AJ, he just seems like he loved playing the game. Like he really, he really, he, thoroughly enjoys it. And that goes a long way with me, Ocho. You know what I mean? I like gym rats. I'm a gym rat. I like to be in the gym, whether it's by myself working on my game, where I like guys who like to stay in the gym. Right. Yeah. When you deal with that number one pick,

Ocho, you know what it is, the least amount of red flags. I can't, I can't be worried. I can't, Ocho, because as a general manager of an owner, I'm going to want to turn my phone off at night. I don't want the coaches to have to tell me that he's not going to play he'll little nick. I just can't worry about stuff like that because in basketball, I mean, even in football now, at the quarterback spot, Ocho, you know in three years, you're going to have to make a big old contribution. You're going to have to make a big old financial commitment. In basketball, you're going to have to make a big old financial commitment. I want to be able to make that commitment with the least amount of worries as I possibly can have.

Yeah. Yeah. That's just me. I think DeBonza, I think DeBonzo will be the better player. I think he's the safer and I hate it because safe like, oh, no, no, no. I'm saying he's safe and he's really good. Yeah. I'm going to tell you who probably going to go high.

There ain't nobody really thinking. I think, obviously I think there is A-Cuck can always improve his draft stock. I think he can creep into like maybe a top three pick on the Ocho. I agree. Yeah. But, but Caleb, Wilson, who was at University of North Carolina. He's 16 now.

16 and 16, 611, Arco, he can do everything. Put it on the flow, shoot the three. He's going to defend. You know, he keep receipts because he told y'all throughout the season. He got receipts, and he was going at everybody who, you know, played with him. You feel what I'm saying?

Yeah. So I like that about him. He's going to compete. He got a lot of talent, bro. He got a lot of upside. That's why I say, if you got a top seven pick in this draft, you can get a good player. It's the top eight.

It's some talent in this drive, but, you know, it's where you go, who you coach, yes. The veteran players in your locker room that help you. Yeah. Make a huge difference. And not be on some bulljohn because they're envious. Yeah. Bonsona West Eden says Janice Ante Cumpur will be traded if he doesn't accept an extension. Yonis is going into his last year of his contract. So one or two things will happen.

Either he will be extended or he'll be traded. The likelihood, the likelihood, you'll let him just kind of play it out the last year. We can't afford that. Absolutely. It's not consistent with what they good for the organization. And that's not a Yonis issue. That's any player that's in the last year. People around the league believe the bucks missed their window to get peak value for Yonis. And NBA exec said he'll still, he's still a game change. but he's 31 with a history of leg injuries. And now you probably would basically be traded for a guy on an expiring deal. So I'm not sure the offers they'll get this summer are going to be any better than what they already got.

Man, please. It's going to be, I only take is one team. It's going to be a couple teams lined up. Oh, yeah. You can believe that. Now, I'm going to the best. I'm, I'm, Joe, Joe, I'm getting the best deal for me. Damn was the best deal for Yon.

Well, you're going to have to, your hands are tied because at some point you're going to have to take, you know, you're going to have to take a decent deal. I mean, you, I can't see, I can't see them not favoring Janus in the situation. I just think, I know, I know, I know. But I'm saying, what I'm saying is they want to get, they want to get some pieces back that's going to help them in the near future.

Right. Now, I don't know if you're going to get the value of what Yon is. brings. I mean, let's just be honest. You're going to get somebody who's going out potential, whether it's one of these young guys or, you know, multiple picks, but I mean, who, I'm telling you all what's going to happen. I'm telling you how where you're going to be when they lose.

The mere fact that this owner said, he either signs the extension or he's getting traded. Joe, when with the last time you heard the owner say that? Me personally, I don't know if I've ever heard the owner come out and say that. Yeah, I don't either. So that lets you know, I'm getting max value. He might want to go to Miami. Not as my, because you know Miami don't want to give up the compensation.

That's why Kevin the Rand's not down there. And that's why some of the other players that's been trade available aren't down there because they try to keep all their best players and ship scraps off to the opposing team. Ain't nobody going for that. This guy, it seems to me, because Yon has been dealing them around and around and we try to kind of back them into a hole.

Now, when this thing first came to like two years ago, I'd have got him up out of there. You got him gone. Yep. I wasn't winning with him. Well? I wasn't going to win with Yonis. That was over.

They had a very special team. They had Holiday. They had Chris Middleton prior to the injuries. Chris Middleton is not the same guy. He's not even close to the same guy. He's not the All-Star that he once was. Yeah. Right.

Once you started getting off those pieces, it was over. Well, the problem you're going to have, okay, Ojo, is, okay, let's say, Let's say you do have a team that you want to trade Janus to, but he's not fond of. You think they're going to trade for Janus on an expiring contract, and they know he going to leave, and we just rent him for a few months?

That's what I'm saying. So the bucks can try to trade him to wherever, but at the same time, he's still going to have to sign an extension. Right. You know what I mean? Here's the thing. See, what he wanted, and I can see, because you know, Joe, what's they trade you,

You can't get that extra fifth year. Yeah. About 65, 70. Yeah. So now it goes to a five year to a full year. Yeah. Now, it's still good money. Don't get me wrong.

So I want to chat, man, oh, yeah, but 275 versus 200. Yeah. 300 versus 225. Right. 75 million. That's a big difference. Yeah. 7.5 million.

They, I don't care nothing about that. Nike going to make that up to me. I signed a couple of endorsements. 75 was a lot of them. a whole different ball game. Yeah. But did you hear what he said? He said, sign the extension.

See, the extension may not be... Oh, he ain't trade. If he signed the extension, he's not getting traded. You say he's not getting traded. What I'm saying, though, I don't think the extension is 275 or 300, though. What's the extension for, yonis? I think because he still got... What he got on his deal?

He still got two years on his deal. Next year. Next year will be his last year, 27. I think they're going to add to that. 27's what I'm saying I think they're going to add to that last year four year 275 he eligible for uh

four year 275 so you add that too so you add that that's a 5-250 or 350 Joe mm-hmm I don't know about you 5 for 350 that's 70 a year Joe yeah yeah that good money right good money that's an understatement okay I'm just just saying we're on the same

You're going to get to that money on, huh? With all this. The TV money, all they kicking in? Yeah. Going up. That's what we're going to start seeing. Dude's making 70 plus me. Oh.

Oh, 70, 80. Hmm. So I just, I don't, I don't know where he can go. Because when you trade superstars, you're not getting value. You're never going to get the value that you get, the player that you're giving up that you're going to get back in return. Now, now, hold on, hold on. hold on every once in a while you'll get a she situation they've got maximum value for shay for

what they gave up paul george yeah yeah i think okay c won that one yeah i still don't understand what they were doing that they're man they got in they ain't seated they ain't see he wasn't doing all this oh cho it it didn't matter if they saw it kawai said if you don't get me paul george i'm going to sign with the lakers could you imagine being in that building as a clipper you're already in the basement. Right. You got LeBron, you got A.D. And you got Kauai. You got the ACU.S.

I don't know what, the stuff that they signed and these other companies had and got him on the payroll and all these apartments. And I don't know if it ended that in the truth. I don't care. I just know the Clippers had to ACU.S. to everything Kauai said or they weren't going to get him. Damn.

Hey, look. So Shea was for nothing. You can see. But Shea wasn't, wouldn't be Shea if he's with the Clippers because Kauai is going to get the ball. Yeah. Yeah. That's why they got rid of Chris Paul. He has to be the, he needs the ball.

Yeah. So you're like, well, I can't believe the Clippers. You weren't, you weren't going to be able to get this out of Shea because Kauai is the headliner. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It's like a comedian coming and like he going after Chappelle. That ain't happening. You're going in front of Chappelle.

That's a good one. I like that analogy. Yeah. Hey, Kauai over there getting to it too. You think he's going to make an all NBA team? It's going to be close. How many games have he missed? Is he eligible?

I don't know. I don't know. See, I know he averaging about 27, 28 a game. Yeah, he having a career high as far as points. And they came back in overtime and beat the Maverick. I'm talking about they ain't playing no defense. Yeah, no. Deris Garland got out.

Hey, I see he finally came out 41 and 11. I think they're going to make the play. Yeah, he was 34. Kuai had 34. He was 12 and 20. of 22, five or nine from the three point line, five of five from the free throw line. And then you had Darius Garland.

He had 41. He was 15 or 24, eight of 12, three or three. Um, Kauai got one game of Wiggeroo. If he missed one more game, right? It's a rap, huh? He can't make it. Oh, he good.

He probably ain't got, but like 10, 11 games left. Uh, he got 11 games to play. He could miss one more. Okay. That's why he came back. I can remember he had that ankle injury, Joe. Boy can't, hey. He gave him to Joe.

Hey, man, you know, Kauai, that's normal a month injury for Kauai. That boy came back popping their gun. Quick. He said, y'all got me bit. He sees what's going on. All these dudes hurt. Ain't going to be eligible for nothing.

Kauai going to miss around beat second team all NBA. Could be. Yeah. Because it's going to be, man, it's going to be topsy-turvy who gets the first team. Because you got a lot. A lot of willing, a lot of Luca. Cade is out now.

Cade is out of the running. Oh, man. Then Cade going to be out of running after he missed you two weeks. Yeah. Or if he got time to play. He couldn't miss them more than four. You got, you got K, you got Wemby, you got Yokic, you got Shay, you got Luca, and you got Jalen Brown. That's six guys.

Kade ain't going to be there because he's going to miss it. Six guys, five slots. How you got Luca average a damn number? to 35 points a game and his team is number three. He's going to be, he's going to be there. He's going to be first team, you know. Leading the league and scoring, he's going to be first team. He's going to be first team.

This is a career high for him, man. Like 33, that's a career high for Luca. No, he average 34. I think he averaged 34 one year. Did he? With Dallas? Yeah. We got wiggle room, so.

So how many games they play? So he's out the next two weeks? He ain't going to make it. He ain't going to make it. Who is this? Okay. Because he's out two weeks. He can only miss what, four or five games?

He can miss eight more games. Eight. How many games they play in the next two weeks? Eight. He better wrap that thing up and get on that out there. Because Lucas averaging 33. I think Lucas, Luca career high is like 33.9, maybe 34, Joe.

Mm. That joke, but that boy bawling, boy. Yeah. I'm talking about Adela is smacking. How do you leave Yokic off? He's leading the league and assist and rebounds. You ain't, you ain't going to leave him off. And he got averaging 29 a game.

Wimby. You ain't going to leave Wembe off. Jalen Brown, he has this team in the number two slot. A large part of this without Jason Tatum. Well, obviously, he's not leaving Shade because his team is the best, and they're on 11-game winning streak, and they have the best record. So basically it's going to come down,

between Cade and Luca. It's gonna be a good one. Yeah. It's gonna be, it's gonna be very, very interesting. But I can see KD played another four or five years though. Oh, easy. Cause he doesn't have a weight problem. He can shoot the ball, that's not going anywhere.

Yeah. So. And he loves playing the game. He love playing the game. He loves playing the game. That's what makes the biggest. It's different. Get them gym rats.

He's a gym rat. He's always in a gym, always working on this craft. Mm-hmm. You gotta love guys like that, bro. Well, that's the only way you can play that long. Yeah. You can't play that long if you... Ain't no way you can do something for an extended period of time

that you don't love. Oh Joe, you hear people on the regular job. They stand a job 30 years, 40 years, 50 years. Mm-hmm. They ain't standing just cause they get the paycheck, not on one job. Right. You gotta love it.

Yeah. To stay somewhere 30, 40, 50 years? You got you got to. You ain't got no choice. Man, please. Hey, hey, let's get down the nut cutting time now, fellow. Luca averaging 33.4 points a game. Damn.

His career high is 33.9. Since his rookie year, he's never averaged fewer than 27. 27.7. So he went 21.2, 21.2, 28.8, 27. 27, 28.4, 32.4, 33.9, 28.1, 28.1. Yeah. Dang. 33.3.4. Hey. They say what they want about old Luca, Luca.

I did get it done, boy. But see, let me ask you question. When James Hardin was in Houston putting up all them points, with James Hardin playing defense, Joe, you play with it. No, no, no, no. Don't nobody say the thing about, with Steph, Steph was winning on MVP. Steph wasn't sitting in the chair guard, nobody.

All right, look, he's doing a lot better job. He's trying. He's not getting beat off the first dribble. Because once you get beat off the first dribble, Joe, you compromise. The entire defense is not compromised because we got to rally. Yeah. To get in front of him.

And so we got to, people got to come. A kick, drop a dish off, lob. Now you're at the team's mercy. Hey, Uncle Joe, he's not getting beat off the first dribble, but he getting beat off the second. That's okay. That's okay. That's okay.

I think people, he got the Ole defense where, you know, he don't slide them puppies no more than once. Yeah. But, you know, at the same time, I think what's really glaring is that the complaining to the refs, Arkansas Ocho. Yes. If he don't do that, I think he would be in a much better, you know,

spot. He can't help it, Joe. He can't help it. It's a part of him. It's a part of him. He can't help it. Once you've been doing something that long, it's hard to get him habits.

Even if he makes the shot, even when he gets foul, he's still at the free throw line complaining. I'm like, bro, you had the free throw line, what more you won't? Yeah. Because it don't help you, bro.

The rest, remember that. They're human now. Oh, yeah. They're going to get tight with their whistle. Especially depending on what you're saying, too. Man, what? Now, I promise you, he's speaking all Slovenian when he talked, when he talking to the, if, when he talking reckless,

he's speaking Slovenian. He ain't speaking to English. Hold on. Hold on, how did he get to ticked man? I didn't see how he got to take after the dude saying something to him. Yeah, they were, they were drawing back and forth. And I think the big he told him to cut it out. He kept going.

Mm-hmm. But everybody be wanting MVP to be David Robinson or Kobe or Elijah Juan, Jordan, LeBron. Come on, man. Yeah. Yokey, I get a prime example. When have anybody ever said, man, Yokey played an outstanding defense. No. He got three of the things.

They finished second a couple of times. Ain't nobody. Hey, we ain't here a note when Jokkees, you win it. All we talking about the triple double. Mm-hmm. Come on now. Yeah. Look, I ain't saying Lucas ever going to be,

he ain't going to never ever be an all defensive player. But I tell you what, you better be able to, you better have somebody that can match you as output. Right. Because he's going to 40. Yeah. Yeah.

And you, and if he gets it going early and you can't turn that faucet off, he's going to get 50. You're going to be in here. And you like, you like this LeBron you've been seeing. I do. I mean, I mean, sometimes it's like, damn, bro. I mean, he's, he's bought into this role.

Yeah. He's bought it. He's, he jumped on this, this role with both feet. And it's not easy because we've seen other great players that couldn't adapt. Yeah. Yeah. We saw this with AI. He couldn't.

He went to Detroit. He, he needed, went to Memphis. He couldn't, he couldn't do it. It's hard. Think about how long you've, been the guy, Joe, you've been the guy in high school, you've been the guy in college, you've been the guy for 15, 16 years in the NFL, I mean, NBA. Right.

So you're talking about 15 years in the NBA, three, four years of high school, that's 18, 19 years, and another one, two, three years in college. Mm. And I just say, nah, bro. And for LeBron, think about it, LeBron has been the guy all his high school career. And basically until last year. So for 21 years, and they say, nah, bro, now, we don't need you to go to two. Yeah.

We need you to go to three. Yeah. Mm. I just, I think, I think naturally, I think taking upon himself, I think he's really winning to this role. I don't think nobody came to him and told him that you're going to be a third option. I think he's kind of assessed a game in the way these dudes been playing from the start because he missed so many games. to start the season. I think he just came in and took that role

because he probably like, man, I don't want to mess up the chemistry that's going on, the winning that we're doing. I'm just going to add to it. I ain't going to lie to you. I kind of like this, Braun. I do like this, Brian, obviously, when he got it going, but just 13 attempts, OK, Ocho.

I mean, it's career low. Yeah, I mean, it's career low, but you got to understand, because Luke is playing so well, because Austin Reeves playing so well, hell, LeBron might. even like that. He might like being the third option because he is 41, because of his age, not having the ball in his hands, knowing when to assert himself in the games and when not to.

Shoot, that sounds like a good role to me, especially at that age. He definitely can play a couple more years playing this role, Joe. Yeah? He definitely can play a couple more years playing this role. I can really see LeBron playing 25 seasons. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he had 23 now for sure. Yeah, I can see it too. And somebody want to break, get 45,000 points?

Mm-hmm. Oh, well. Yeah, because he's gonna put, he putting that out of mid, out your misery. He only wants y'all coming into the NBA thinking you're going to catch this here. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. How many Kevin to rent, points Kevin Durant, points every rent had scored this year?

How many total points? Hey, D. I ain't on a lot. I kind of wanted to see Brun and Katie or Brun and. and stuff kind of team up. Yeah. For their latter part of their years, for at least two years. So, so there's a chance he might get 2,000.

Where he is now? How many points are here now? He got 1,000, he's got 1,723 right now. How many games do they have left? 10. They got 12 games left. So basically, if he averages, if he average what he's averaging, which is about 26, right?

He had 25.7. So with 12 games to go, that's about 10, 250. So he's looking at about 300 points, about 305. So that would give him 2,000. If LeBron doesn't play another game, and he plays another five years, he's probably still going to be about 1,000 points short. So if LeBron plays another year, another two years,

KD's gonna have to play another seven years. KD's in year what, you're 19? You're 18, I mean, he's 19 season, but because he missed the year for that thing, it's only like 18 on his body. Mm. So I think KD has the most realistic chance. You think he got a chance of catching?

I do. That's gonna be a tall task on. Oh, it is now, yes. But that's at the current pace. He's gotta play the same number of games. He can't, he got to keep this average up. That's the thing. So how many games we played this year?

70, 60, no, he didn't play 70. He ain't played all of them. He's played in 67 games. So if he played the last, if he played the last 12, he's going to play in 79. He's going to play race too tight. Can't sit out.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He can't afford to lose any games. He can't afford to lose any games. Almond Thompson saved Kevin Iran historic night. Arm and Thompson hit the game winning putback for the Rockets. And the same night, KD passed Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. Rockets beat the heat 123, 123, 122. After the game, KD. C would smile.

Four more to go. Oh, more what to go? Who we go past next? Kobe. Woo, he got a long time to pass. He needs about 260 games to get to career. 26, that's playing 80 games for the next three years. Who the next person he's about to pass?

Kobe, ain't it? I thank Kobe. Yeah. Kobe got, probably got like $33,000. Who the boy? Boy, he's shooting that rock, boy. Man, listen. It's, it's, LeBron, Corrine, Caram, Malone.

Kobe? Kobe. No, KD. Yeah. I mean, KD got 32,000. He's 11,000 behind LeBron. Yeah, he ain't catching him. He ain't, he ain't catching Brian.

That's an amazing feat, boy. Well, well deserved. Now you see Ma'n Thompson had 18 rebounds? Yeah, that's a lot of that rebound for a guard. Man. Hey, ball bouncing right to it. Ball bouncing right to him, ma'am. Reed Shepard had 23 and 14 assists.

Damn. Man, who they played Miami? Miami. Hey, why y'all bulljabing? Ever since Bam had the 83, Bam, been played out of the damn mind. Ain't it man. Ain't it. Bam, man, 32 and 20.

Yeah, they haven't been doing this thing. I got- Hey, hey. I got Miami making some real change just some of those. Maybe go. Talk your talk, Joe. I got to make some real change. I got to make some real change.

This is good that the hero playing well, well because I got to I think he gonna be a part of it. Yeah, as long as you know, I remember I told you first. Huh? Yeah, yeah. Y'all got to get a, y'all need another game change over that, Ojo. I ain't going to even say who, but y'all need another game change. Hey, Joe, I know what you're thinking and I already said it for you.

Okay. Huh? Okay. You hear me? Okay. Stay with me, now. Yeah. I got you. Yeah.

Yeah. It's, man, look here. Man, hey, hey, hey, bam. Bam, I've been playing some ball, man. Ever since, hey, Asiana came into his life. Hey, he's been trying to keep up. Oh, he, hey, hey. Well, he ain't going to catch her as far as accolades.

He can forget that. Yeah. Hey, that ship does sell. He can forget that. You're talking about, hey, she, hey, she, hey, when she does, I think she's got the great case right now to be the girl woman's call it,

the woman's basketball player. Yeah. He ain't got no. chance of catching her with all those MVP's, finals MVP's defensive player of the year, a national champion college player of the year. Yeah, that's over. Yeah.

Hey, hey, I can see, I can see in the near future like in the next of my months. It's strange. I can see bam getting engaged. I can see them getting married. Yeah. I see it. I see it. I see it. Man, they're a great couple, man. Hey, there's nothing there's nothing not to like about them.

Right. I agree. There ain't nothing to like about them. Bam, no bother nobody. He goes out and play hard if you follow this story, grew up in North Carolina in a single trailer home, him seeing here and his mom, blah, all that. And in Asia, we know, hey, boom, big man, look here. And she is, I see the play, like I said,

I mean, watching her play on television, don't do her justice. Don't do her justice, cause she plays both ends of the court. Yeah, she's nice. Well, they're gonna, hey, they gonna have a LeBron. They gonna have a, ooh. She goes to that, hold on a old old, baby.

Hey, you know, I'm on a super max contract now, one point four year. Yeah, one point four year. Yeah, let's hold on baby. Hey, be 30 yet. We got tied. Right, right. How old is age, is she ain't 30 yet?

Oh, I think she might be, she might be, she might be 39, but I think she's about 20, 28, 29. Right, put it on, bro. Yeah, bam, been out of control, boy, since he threw up that 83. When she'll be eight, when she'll be, uh, 30? This year?

Yeah, she'll be 30 in August. Oh, okay. Yeah, she's like, hey, hey, hey, bam, hold on, bro. Hold on, bro. But, oh, that kid's gonna be seven foot tall. Man. Ballin, ballin. Yeah, she's six four, bam, what, six, ten?

Hey, look, and if the mama, the mama that tall, shh, boy, please. You're gonna have you a monster on your hand, boy. Yeah. If it's a girl, hey, they're going to have a combination of juju, a mile more. Damn.

Man, they can't, but I like, man, they seem, man, they seem genuinely, genuinely happy. I agree. Well, I agree. I agree. I can just imagine.

I can just imagine. I mean, look at how she talks about him. Mm-hmm. Look at how he talks about her. Yeah. Yeah. and they're so supportive, she's there, boom. She's getting all these awards when she's winning her MVP,
