Let's take a listen to what Dre had to say. A unicorn. It's a rare, rare air that he's in. Not only is it a unicorn, but you also get to a certain height

where it becomes a disservice in this lead. You know, like, there's nothing he can do about being 75, but I'm not sure 7-5 suits you better than being 7-1. Right, right. Or being 7 feet. With his skill set. You know, with his skill set. Being 75 almost does him a disservice.

Like, yeah, you can catch and fit. But with the skill set that everyone loves about this kid, being 75 almost hurts that. Because once you get to this level, you're going to run up against guys who's way stronger that moves as fast or faster. And they play way lower to the ground. Right.

And as you know, low man wins. And so if you're just running up into that, like, 7-5 kind of hurts you. And so I think that's something that he's going to have to adjust to as well that people aren't really accounted for. I think it hurts him on an offensive being. I think it helps him on the defensive end. Absolutely. Because you see how he blocking those three-point shots when he take one step

and he's throwing the inch in the stands. Yeah. He's deflecting it. Yeah. I understand what Dray Monsen because he's so tall. It's easy to root him out. Yep. Yeah.

Get up under him. And that's why you saw sometimes you saw Caruso was guarding him. Yeah. There's no way a six five guard, a six four guard should be able to guard him. But because he's so tall and he can't, Caruso just gets up on him and root him out of his spot. Yeah. That low sense of gravity, bro. He's never going to have advantage when it comes to that.

he's always going to have to use his length, his quickness versus the cast that's going to be guarding him, Ocho. He's always going to have an advantage. That's the problem because a big man guarding him, he's always going to have advantage because of how he moves at his height and the way his game is. You know, he's not a typical being. He's not a stiff.

He's not a guy who can just post up and shoot jump hooks or just shoot middies. Like, this dude going to block the shot, bring it all way up. up the court, run the plate. You know what? Now, y'all just get out the way. Go in my bag, bing, bing, bing, bing. You know what I mean? And get right to it.

We ain't seen that, bro, at 7.5. So I agree. Well, um, defensively, it helps him. It's just on the offensive end, when he does try to be demonstrative when it comes to posting up and trying to gain that advantage and using his height to his advantage, that's where he's going to have to get stronger. Stronger don't mean, like, the mass he has to get. He has to be that wiry strong, also, you know, the work.

You just can't let guys root you out and move. You know what I mean? I think that's the biggest adjustment that he's going to have to face or deal with that ultimately is going to take him to that next level to make that leap like Janice made. You know, when Janice first came into the lead, boy, he was skin and bone. I'm talking about, man, it's just night and day to what he ultimately got to. I don't think he's going to be able to put on the match, Janice guy.

But as far as being effective and using his lift and moving around the court the way he does, he's always going to have an advantage of this. He just has to be more consistent in, you know, his mid-range jump shots, his three-point jump shots, because you always got to respect him way out there. That's the advantage. So if he catches two feet behind a three, Ocho, and he pump fake you now, because you got to close out tough. Now he can get into his bag. I just think, you know.

Strengthening up them hips, bro. Everything connected to the hips. Strengthen up them hips to where you can move, move. Ways down. Huh? Waste down. Yeah. You gotta be.

Yeah. When I look at Yon, when I look at, I'm talking about to say Yonnes, when I look at. Wimby. Damn. What's buddy name? Yeah. When I look at Wimby, on obviously, I think for him, I understand what Drayman is saying. I think he has an advantage obviously being 75.

The only problem, the only problem he has is when he in the low block of the post. That's it. That's it. Outside of that, he plays small outside from the three. When it's time to go into his toolbox, Joe, he played like somebody that's six, five, six, seven. He can put the ball in the flow. He can shake you.

He can get by you. The only issue, if you want to add something to his game, is to be able to play with your back to the basket and maybe to go in your bag and not let people get you off your spot. That's the reason why he don't want to because he knows he's not strong enough. to consistently bang.

See, look, if he, like Shaq, Shaq was 7-1, Shaq was 325. So Shaq was, but Shaq was ultra-altra-quit. For his size, Shaq moved like a guy 6-66-7. But he got 325 pounds.

So when Shaq, with Shaq, with Shaq put that shoulder into you or put that hip on you, you're moving. It's a rap. When'd be putting that shoulder on you, everybody like, well, damn.

Yeah. He ain't gained no ground. Who caught a fan on here? Ain't nobody moving. Ain't nobody getting dislodged? Look how OG dislodged him. Yeah. Remember OG going to the basket?

Dis lodge him, boom. You think somebody can disloat. You might dunk on a big, but you're not supposed to dislodge him like that. Hey, and I think, I think Wimby here's all this, too, fellas. I think he's going to come back. You know, I think that in hindsight, the best thing that can happen to win

is them losing in his finals, bro. I think that young man going to lock in it. Y'all got to remember now, he ain't but 22 years old. So all that we're talking about, he's going to gain the strength to where he can hold his ground. It may take him, it may take him to the next year or the year after that, but he's going to get better next year and the next year and the next year. So I think his game will continue to ascend to where he's going to be,

obviously, the face of the league. Because he's going to, the numbers that he going to have across the board, bro, it's going to be something that we've never seen before. When it comes to scoring, blocks, rebounds, he's going to be, he probably going to be top five them there in every statistical category. You're right. And I think the thing is, look, everybody can't be like magic. Come in, off the real, boom, win the championship.

A bird, come in. Sometimes you got to grind your way through like Jordan. Yeah. Lose, lose. He's like, man, they beat, man, the bad boy pistol's beating the hell out of me. Damn this. Hey, Tim, let's get in this gym. Yeah.

No time off. It builds character, bro. Bro, I'm tired of these hard-ass foul because they're wearing me down. I got to be able to withstand that, still get to my spot, and let this velvet jumper go. Hello. And that's what he did. Hello. So all that Joe Dumars pulling him down and Lambere and Sal and Rodman beating the hell out of him.

James Edward Rick Mahorn. He's like, man, enough of this. Man, yeah. He started to be able to play through that. And now he don't have a weakness. Yeah. You can't beat him up because they can beat him up. They felt that he could beat him up.

Say we beat him up, hey, he'll shut it down. Now you can't beat him up. Now what you're going to do. Yeah. But you know what? He's still small frame. You know, even if he does get stronger, I think he has to pick and choose.

when he wants to play that game. Yeah. When he wants to play that game with his back to the basket, when he wants to play that game down there in the low block. You pick and choose when you want to do that. You don't want to take away from your other strengths and being able to put the ball on the floor, being able to shoot the three or being able to get to your spot

and shoot you. Yeah, no, no, I agree with you, Ocho, and I think that's why I say he has to take what's a weakness of him right now and make it into a strength. And that's just, you know, obviously staying in the weight room, getting stronger, and continue to work on your game. Your game's going to evolve once he gets more comfortable and gain more strength.

You know, man, you've been in that weight room, bro, it brings a sense of confidence when you hit their flow, man. I don't know about y'all, but, bro, I used to do a full workout before games, you know, just to go out there and really feel strong, like, hey, man, it way different when you've been in that weight room. And I think this loss hurts Wemby in the finals

to where, you know, he really was hurt behind this. So I think he's going to come back a totally different player. But the problem is with Wemby, he didn't have a signature shot that he could go. to. Yeah. Look at all the grades. They had his signature shot they could go to. Elijah Juan, Jordan, Bird, Magic, Kobe, Braun, Elijah Juan. I don't know if I've mentioned Elijah Juan twice. Everybody had a shot. So he doesn't have that shot. I can put it to my basket. I can put my back to the basket. Give it to me. He didn't feel comfortable with that.

Dirk. Yeah. Yeah. All those guys. Now, if you were shocked, you sell him 1, 325, 340, where you would just turn around and everybody moving, bang, but that ain't what he is. He's going to have to, he's going to have to build. Brunson. When Brunson need to get a shot, Bronson going to go to that, he's going to do that,

put that shoulder into you, and hit you with the step back. Every single time, go back and look at the shots that he hit on Champagne. Go back and look at the shots that he made down in clutch situation. You got to have that in your bag. Oh, yeah. As a post player, okay, on you know,

you got to have you at least, at least three moves, go-to move that you know going to work. And you're right, he don't have that right now. And I think he definitely has to put the work in. At his size, bro, Ocho, I agree with you. He needs to use, it's matchups for him. Who's ever going to. You got a big guy here who's slow-footed like Gobert.

Then take him out here in deep waters and drowning. You know what I mean? Take him out of here in the deep waters and drowning. But when you're playing against the Knicks and they got cat and he guarding you, you got to get you a couple of mood, jump hook. You know what I mean? You know, three nice go-to mood, bro, that you can give him something different every time to keep his ass guessing.

And I think once he figures that part out, Hocchio, that's going to take him to another level. Listen, I'm not in the NBA. I'm not whimby. But understanding the strengths that I have right now, how good I am offensively, how good I am defensively. There are two people that I would want to go see in the offseason. For one, to work on the toolbox.

Two, I'm going to see Kevin Garnett. Just for the mentality. Just for the mentality. Just to have that dog give me, and I'm going to see Akima Langewan to add some of the repertoire that he had to his game and see if I can add to that. That footwork, boy. You got to get that footwork. That's what the dream got, bro.

Look, we look at the turnaround shots and all that, but it's his footwork. You know, Wimby learned that. He'd get that footwork down pack. It's a rap, bro. Well, I don't know if he's going to get that foot back. Because you got to realize a king's grow up playing soccer. Yeah. So you know he's great with his feet.

Yeah, Wimby, what went to him from? Huh? Whenby grew up playing soccer too? Man, how are you going to kick the ball with a size 42 shoot? He's playing. He's playing. He's playing. What size you were?

He's way by the size 30. He went by the size 30. That's bad feet that long, Joe. How the hell he's going to kick the damn ball? And he ain't, he ain't playing no soccer. If he's playing soccer, he would playing gold, but. Yeah. Yeah, he might kick the ball

What it's in front of him But as far as dribbling the ball down the field Hell, no. But you look at it, but it wasn't just the turnaround. Dreamer show you the ball, show you another move, show you another move,

and then up under you. Yeah. Yeah. You just lick with it. You got to have a counter to the counter. There you go. That's it. I'll agree.

But like you say, look, he's, the thing is that he's got to work on that now because we said to, Same thing with Dwight Howard. He only 19. He's going to work on it. And Dwight Howard never developed a signature. Hey, these two completely different type of animals, though.

Huh? These two completely type of animals, though. All I'm saying, if Dwight Howard would have worked on a move, Joe. Because look at Dwight. Dwight had that same little skinny-ass frame when he came in. Yeah, he was in two, three years later. Man, Dwight Howard looked like a show enough. Oh, yeah.

Hey, Dwight was real wrong. When he first came into the lead, he ain't had no offense a game for real. You know what I mean? He's running dog. Yeah, but he developed, he developed him a nice little jump hook, you know, a hill shooter turn around sometime and then face up. To where he turned face up and shoot that little jump off the glass, he developed that. You know what I mean? Wimby is going to, he's going to develop.

I'm telling you all he's going to develop at least two to three go-to-three go-to-mose that he used on that block, whether it's a turning face, whether it's the back down to the jump hook, whether it's fade away. But you have to be effective and efficient when you shoot these shots, bro. Because in the postseason, what we see, hey, man, ain't a whole lot of space out there. You know what I mean? You ain't got a lot of time. Great scores.

It don't take all day pound in the rock. You're going to get two dribbles max, you know, to be able to get your stuff off. And you've got to be able to do it at the efficiency rate. And I think he will learn that. NBA champion Ron Harper, father Dylan Harper, completely shut down the widely circulated reports of rumors regarding Dylan's camp demanding a starting spot. Stop it.

Fake news, you don't want to demand a spot. You want to earn a spot. Ron also reposted us. Joe Johnson says Dylan Harper has a prime, has the opportunity to be a prime James Hardin potential. He would average 22, 23 points a game, his rookie season if he had the same freedom. Did James play defense?

No, not like Harper, bro. But, oh, Harper should hope that when his son career is over, he's a top 75 player. Yeah. We weren't trying to be dismissive. You was praising him. You see something in this kid that he can say, you know what? He has the ability to be obviously what James Hardin was. Yeah.

We were praising him. We weren't, we didn't shoot him down. We didn't say, oh, we said he should be in the starting lineup. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That, well, see, when you just, when you just listen to clips and not listen to the meat of what you and I was discussing, the whole joke, right. This is what you get. Yeah.

It's part. Nobody was trying to shoot your son down. We was praying to your son. We said he was the, he was the second best on some nights, the best player on the Spurs. Yeah. But I guess you to hear that part. Go ahead, Joe. Yeah.

He probably, he probably didn't. And the fact that Joe even think he can be somewhat similar to James. James Harden, if he had the green light to shoot when he want to, and he can play defense the way he does, come on now. You can't ask for a little better than that. Hey, hey, look, despite what his pop say that, his son, he's special.

He's special, bro. We were trying to, we were trying to, we thought we did a good job of conveying. You did, having played the game, having looked at James Hardin game, they're both lefties. Yeah. Harper already has an NBA body. Hardin had to grow into it. his body. Look at Hardin as a rookie

and look at Hardin now. Look at Dylan Harper. That is a grown man's body. Yeah. You're saying giving the same opportunities to have a green light, which is going to be highly unlikely because he's playing with Wemby. Yeah. But that situation

we're saying he, Joe was saying he has the ability to be as specialist Hardin. For you to say that. Knowing what Hardin is, he didn't mind that I play no defense. He's one of the great offensive guys. in the history of the NBA. Yes, sir.

He's an MVP. He's led to league in scoring. He's led to league in assists. He's a top 75 player. Yeah. And he made it seem like we said he should be a role player. We're saying that he should start. Yeah.

Oh. An IR Radio Experience. Weekend goal tickets to Ilsoni. One, two, three.

I inherited that fandom from my mom. I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force. From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernando Chavari, and this is American Football,

a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great. A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture. I took an elbow to.

my head, which cracked my skull. It is an American game. The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though. Are they the only ones that don't like that? Nobody likes that. As we get ready for the Men's World Cup this summer, listen to American Football as part of the My Coutura Podcast Network, available on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Hoda Kotby, host of the podcast, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby. Together, we're going to have meaningful conversations with the world. world's most fascinating people. Like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges. I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartner depression.

I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And it's a part of it's exciting because their new star is Javier T. Torito Hernandez. Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human. Every single day, I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions ever since I was born. And I still have so many questions. Where do we come from?

What happens after death? How do you deal with cancellation? Cristiano or Messi? Do aliens exist? What is love? Real Madrid or Varsa? From every day and ordinary to the deep and extraordinary. This isn't a normal podcast.

Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine. podcast is like a deep talk with your closest friends where vulnerability comes out conspiracy theories end up on the table and goals and lessons are shared. All in this life has an order perfect and everything is good. Wait me, I'm here to put me going to be able to be connect. The Chicharito. Oh Javier. Chacharito. And together with IHard Radio, we're going to make the ordinary, extraordinary, extraordinary.

Stay close. It is a carac. Wow. Listen to learning to be human on IHard Radio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam, it's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what.

He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us

everything he gives us on the night-to-night bases on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the flyin. He run running up the court licking his fingers while he got the ball like, after you go

through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going get the ball. So listen to Point game on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, sky's the limit for their young kid, bro. You know, he just got to keep putting the work in. And he'll look bigger than James Harden, Uncle Ocho.

Yes. Yeah, like, if you watch him, the way he maneuvers around the court and when he does get in the paint, bro, it's like he big, boy, he damn there play like he does. He's play through contact. That's the whole hard. Hardness is slippery. Hardin is trying to get on edges. No, he's trying to play through you.

He can get on the edge. There you go. But you look at him, he's trying to dunk on folks. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He ain't playing. He ain't playing. But he got that same bag that I think James Hardin has.

And maybe it is because they both lefties, got nice, smooth jump shots. His potential is through the roof, bro. But I'm just trying to figure out. So because we say he could be James Hardin, we're talking about, and you're talking about the James Hardin play defense? No. but he's 11, 12-time NBA All-Star. He's an all-N-B-A player.

He's a top 75 player in the history of the game. Yeah. Listen, don't, listen, James Hardin is not a defensive guy, but don't demean the guy now. I agree. He's a top, top 75, he's a top five, two guards, all the two guards.

He's a top five. Now, I don't think anybody's going to put him over Kobe and Jordan. Now, there's been some debate by him and D. Wade. Me personally, I like D. Wade, but, hey, to each his own, some people go, like, James Harden, offensive game is so great, I can't have him no lower than third. Okay, fine. But, man, y'all got to stop this notion, man. Y'all make it seem like every player in the league played lockdown defense like Kobe and Jordan. They didn't. No, sir, it's a small, it's a select few, especially than today's game. It is, bro.

It is. It ain't but a couple guys who are willing to do that dirty work. Because everybody wants to, you know, they want to shoot the threes. They want to score to 25, 30 points a night. It ain't a lot of cats want to do that damn dirty word. How many guys in the history of the game has been first team, all NBA and all NBA defense? How many guys in the same season? It ain't many, boy.

It's a few. Amid Juan, Robinson. Duncan, Kobe, Braun, Jordan. How many? It ain't been. How many first team, all NBA players and all defensive players

on the first team in the same season, Janice, Kauai? Yeah. I bet you they've been less than 15. Oh, yeah. Because I bet, I bet Scotty Pippen, I just don't think offensively he probably was first team, but defensively, you know, he always made the...

Probably, probably. I think he made it maybe twice. I know the year that Jordan retired. Remember the first of you, he almost got him there? Yeah. Yeah. But it's hard.

When he played, you got, you got Barclay, you got Malone. I mean, they battled it out damn there every year. And then you get KG, you get dirt. Yeah, yeah. So it wasn't, it wasn't, no easy, it wasn't no easy fix.

And there's only five spots on both. Yeah. Right. So there's not a whole lot of guys that can say, you know what, I locked it down on both ends on a nightly basis, offense and defense. But, look, I ain't got no problem. I believe every man should praise his son.

But I believe you can praise your son. James Hardin ain't, ain't no, you can say he didn't play no defense, but he's one of the greatest offensive players we've ever seen. Hey, hey. Oh, oh, run. Oh, Ron Harper here. Anytime somebody says something about this, son, he comes out of, man. He said, he, uh...

But even when they, even when somebody tried to praise his son, he still tried to come out of him. Yeah, yeah. And you know what's so funny? Man, all this time, man, I ain't even know that was Mr. Harper's son. You didn't? Nah, could we never talked about it. We just talked about Dylan Harper. We never, we never talked about, you know, it being Ron Harper's son.

We never say nothing like that. Oh, he's a... As soon as you said Ron Harper. I put to it. Offensively? He's a good defensive player. Now, hey, hey, a, Brunson average 33.

Yeah. Brunson average 33. You got 45 in the close I game. Ain't very many people in the poor had 40 plus points in the close I game. I don't know, Joe. That ain't close our game. Jordan.

John has got 50 when he closed out Phoenix. Jordan got 45 when he closed out Utah. and Brunson got 45 when he closed out to Spurs. Yeah. Mm. Sometimes, Ron, just take the compliment, bro. Nobody trying to demean your son. Joe actually, as a matter of fact,

thought so much of your son's game that he said he had a chance to be hardened if given the opportunity. Oh, yeah. That's praise. That is praise. We talked about it. We believe, like, man, this man needs to be in the starting lineup

or at least playing more minutes than what they're giving him. Okay, you give him 25, 27 minutes. You got to bump that up to 30, 35. The last game, he played 31 minutes. That should have been 36, 37. And guess what? Guess what, Uncle O's Joe? We're talking about a damn rookie.

That's 20 years. Yes. That's 20 years. That's what you think of him, Joe? Yeah. He's been played the game as long as you played, played at the level of which you played. You think that much of that man's game,

seeing him as a rookie, that you say, you know what? I think given an opportunity, he could be, he could be, he can have a game similar to James Hardin. No question. No question. I just hold to see him in the start lineup. Dang. I don't care.

I don't care of earned. He'd have earned him. I mean, if this ain't earned, if he played this year as a rookie. And what he's done in the playoff didn't earn him the right to start, well, I don't know what he can do. He neither. He'll be, hey, I'm telling y'all, they're going to find a way.

Him in Fox. They're going to be in the way. the damn back court together. So what we're going to do with Castle? It's going to be Fox, Castle, and Harper. And Harper. So they're going to have a three guard line up. Yeah, yeah, they're going to get three.

Because, see, Castle and Harper, they play a lot bigger than their size. You know what I'm saying? They play like they buy six, nine. Them boys play big. And then you'll probably keep the way Champini shot the ball here. You always want a guy like that. But I like Vassel, too. I do too.

No, you got a good problem on your hand. It's going to be, I don't know about a good problem because, hey, there's going to so many shots to go around, Joe. Man, when I say good problem, think about some of the teams, hell, who come to every season, thinking, oh, man, we just want to be better this year and getting their eyes beat out every damn night. Man, please. Hey, you can kind of pick and chew what you want to do if you're saying, Antonio, you know,

to stay on the right trajectory, you got a bunch of young guys, your oldest guy in the starting line up here was 25 and that's who for sale. Yeah, man, please. But it's going to be, it's going to be very interesting to see how they put this thing together. I think they're hungry. I think they got a sour taste in their mouth. They're like, bro, we led every single game by double digits. And we lost all these games except one.

I'm talking to my big leads, too. Yeah, double 29 points, 16 points, 13 points. And I think the thing is the inexperience really hurt them. Yeah. Because they didn't have somebody to calm them down. I don't think their coach did them any. favors. We can say I think two things can be true.

I think the inexperience hurting them, not having someone to calm them down. And I don't think the coach, I don't think, I think Mike Brown out coached Mitch Johnson. Oh yeah. That's not. That's not because here's the guy that only been coaching basically a year and a half, if that. Took over from pop.

Yeah, you, you, hey, Joe, you can't blame coach. You can't blame Mr. Johnson for that. A little bit. Oh, Joe. The extension of the coach is on the court. it was a veteran in Fox he's supposed to dictate plate I agree when to speed it up

when to slow it down calm down they they constantly making mistakes back and forth don't let them go on a 20 to 4 run before you call a time out see stuff like that yeah I mean

yeah we can't blame the code we gotta blame the people but hey but hey what about the substitutions but about the rotations yeah you got who's running the rotations yeah yeah

who You keep put Luke Cornett in and every time you're in a negative. Yeah. Do you see what you call him there? He brought Landry Shannon in. Instead of Miles McBride being the first off the bench, Landry Shannon was the first off the bitch. Yeah.

Yeah. You see when Kat got in trouble, hey, Mitchell Robinson got found trouble. He brought another guy in. And then he brought another big in. See, it's the game within the game. Yeah, I understand that, look, the guy, once you get on the court, but you got to be able to like, you know what? Hey, I don't see it enough.

Hey, this thing about to get a head. Hey, let me go kick it. Hey, eight nothing run. Let me take a time out. Time out. Yeah, yeah. You got, hey, look. Also, those threes that was falling in the first half, guys, they're not falling now.

Let's slack off of taking those threes. They're young teams. Sometimes you have to coach, you, mocho. Put the ball on the floor, get to the, get, hey, bro, you're shooting threes. When normally we get to the bonus and six minutes to go in a, and a quarter. Yeah. And we're taking threes with 18, 19 seconds on the shot clock?

For what? We're up 29. We're not down 29? Yeah. Trying to extend it. Hey, I remember playing, boy, when Pop was coaching, okay, Ocho, you go on a four-old run. His head calling timeout.

He's going to burn out his damn time out. He ain't. A-4-O-Joh. That man calling time out, Ocho. You go on a six-0 run to start the game. Papa call a time out. Yeah. And take his whole five out.

That man on me playing, bro. So I just think when it comes to coaching, you do have to make adjustments. You look at Mike Brown, he was throwing shit at the wall, hoping it stick. He ain't know what. He played Alvarado and Brunson together. Hell, he hadn't done that.

He hadn't done that. They put Alvarado in there, Ocho, from the 29-point lead. Alvarado played major, major minutes. Yeah. That's coaching. Yeah. And that's that, hold on,

Alvarado with that firecracker. He understands the value that Avarado brings once he get on that court, Joe. But he all over the place, like the Tasmania. The thing is, Ocho, he had never played him with Brunson because they make to have them so small in the back court. But, hell, that came to be their best lineup. Hey.

Prime example. Look at what Steve Kerr did. He bids Andrew Bogot and inserted Andre Iigodala. Yeah. His starting center. Make him fast. One of my championship. And then small ball and then guess what?

Everybody tried to be small. Everybody tried to have a death lineup. Yep. Mm-hmm. So he made some rookie mistakes as a coach too. He absolutely did. The Lakers have been connected to both Mitchell Robinson and Robert Williams III per Jake Fisher.

The Lakers have been linked to all sorts of veteran big men in the forthcoming free agent market as well. They could emerge as a suitor for the Knicks, Mitchell Robinson and the Trailblazers and the Trailblazers Robert Williams III. Although sources say both players are very open to remaining in their incumbent roles with the Knicks and the Blasers. Hey, their money talk and their BS walks a thousand miles.

You hear me? Yeah, yeah. I like Robert Williams and I like Mitchell Robinson. You know, both do dirty work that I think the Lakers will need if they want to contend in the Western Conference. But Mitchell, but Mitchell Robinson in a starting role, Joe. I mean, think about what you bring him in and you're asking him to do. Not be a backup.

Now you're going to ask him to play 30 plus minutes or not. Can he do that? Considering that he stays in file trouble, Joe. It'll be an adjustment, Unk, but here, hey, hey, if I pay you enough, hey, I'm going to get you down here to L.A., put you to work real early for the season and start, get you right, get you in some great shape. You know what I mean? Hell, hell, hell, you're going to have to shoot you about $500 to $1,000 to a

day because it's going to be hard to play you if you shoot them 20%, 15% from the free throw line. Damn. And it'll help, Joe. Dang, you got to, Aunt. You got, ain't no way. You can't, you can't, you can't shooting 36% you're going to get into 40%. Oh, you cannot play nobody real minutes shooting free throws like that, bro. I know.

You can, it's going to be hard. Listen, he ain't going to be able to play a whole lot, especially when you really need him in the fourth quarter. You ain't able to play nobody like that. Hacker Robinson. Hello. Hello. It's, uh, I just, I just don't know.

I think Mitchell Robinson is great in his role. We've seen, Joe, how many times are you seeing guys be great in the role? And all of a sudden, now you want to up his role. Oh, Cho, we see it all the time with receivers and running backs, quarterbacks. Ooh, back, oh, boy, that Joe's slinging it. Ooh, ho, ho, boy, if he got his own team. Yeah.

I mean, damn, if he'll put his fans down on the field. Every time. You know, most time players, when they play a role, they're consistent because it's just the role. Now, you got to be the lead man, the lead character. Everybody's not...

That's an adjustment, bro. Hey, everybody... That's an adjustment. We talked about this, Joe. What's the greatest killer of careers? Expectations. Expectations. Yeah.

The expectation for Mitchell Robinson in New York would be vastly different than the expectations in L.A. Yeah. Yeah. You ain't got no pressure coming off that bitch in New York. You just got to break.

energy and effort. Get you to the L.A. Bounds four points and head on back to the big. Oh, man, you did great. Good job. He high-fiving everybody. Yeah. You come to L.A.

You're going to get it. It's all. No, hell, no. Because they're going to need him to be a lot. I mean, Luke are going to probably throw him four lobs a night. Yeah. Yeah. With that I can't say, he got better hands than, uh, Aten.

That's for damn sure. Yeah, he got eight and she had better half than eight. Oh, man, come on. Come on, man. Look, defensively, it'll take the Lakers to another level. I think defensively having that interior presence. But offensively, yeah, he'll lob through it. But, damn, unless he really work on his game,

Ocho, damn, it's going to be tough. I agree. Unless he just dominating defensively, I'm talking about 15 boys a night, four blocks a night, like some crazy. Dennis Robben, type of stuff. He could do that, Joe, if he stays out of file trouble. But his problem that he picks up so many tiki-tack files because he's not the fleet of

foot. So he's in awkward position. So he files a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. He gave him early too, Joe. Too early. Yeah, it's an adjustment now. Don't get me wrong, bro. You know, I know what it's like. Robert Williams. Ooh, the injury, Joe. I mean, can I cannot trust that, Joe? Well, he gave him, he gave him some decent minutes in the postseason. He gave me, he gave him Portland Trailblazers, decent minutes in the pro season. And injury history, bro, that's always a gamble. It's always going to be a gamble.

But if I'm the Lakers, hey, you're going to have to take that gamble on him, man. Listen, you cannot come back into this season thinking just because you got damn Jackson Hayes back there. That ain't going to get it, bro. You're going to have to come about two more B. Jackson Hayes is great in his role. Oh, yeah. He's going to give you great energy for about 20 minutes and

night. He's going to block some shots. He's going to run the floor. He is what he is. That's what I love about Jack Day. He is what he is. He ain't taking no shots. He's going to run. You ain't really got to run no play for him. He's just a lot threat. He's going to pick, roll to the basket, flush it down. He'll get office and rebounds. He'll get putbacks. I love that, knowing who and what I am. Yeah. Got to know it. And I don't need to have to tell you. Don't you hate, you got nice looking girl. I mean, she fought, five, five. But I got to, you know, I got to come up with, get my palm, I'm a problem.

I ain't got no... But anyway, I got to tell her every day, girl, you know you bad. Girl, you know, I'm... You know that. You're sitting on a dump. You got $4.50 to $510 C.C. You're straight.

Hello. Hello. You're straight. Yeah. Yeah. Baby, how did this look on me? Girl, you look good at a paper bag. Hell.

Throw a pillowcase around your way. Take this towel and go out. You like that. I ain't got to hype you. I got to help you all the time. Right. Right. You know what they call it.

That's their love language. You heard me? They say that's their love language. Yeah. Some of them are you right. You're right, oh, Joe. Words of affirmation. If I got to constantly tell you the same thing over and over,

and you already know it's something wrong with you. I mean, you, come on now, you know you are. Hello. Look in the mirror. Hey, hey, hey, hey, bad in the two, yo, you hear me. That, yeah. Yo, stack like dirty laundry in the dorm room. You know you're in the door, laundry, pah.

Yeah. You have people coming over. You remember you have people. You shove it into the claws. You don't want nobody to see it. Hello. How to laundry? Yeah.

You walking around like two volleyball cutting, half in the back. Ooh. Just bouncing to the sun dres. Man, please. Damn. But okay.

I mean, Joe, you like that trade, so. They say, Go ahead, Joe. Chance, they bring AD back. The L.A.?

So, L.A., hold on, A.D., Reeves, Luca. Who are you five? I hell about no, Joe.

You're going to have to, you know, AD, you're going to have to go back to the phone. He wants to stay. He needs to stay. The phone.

He needs to stay. 80 like playing the four because if you look at 80 blessed season in LA is when they had Javelle McGee and they had the White Howard playing the five and he was always at the four. And then the last five minutes of the game, he slide to the five. Because you know why, right? Y'all know why because 80 ain't, he don't really want to have to do all that damn dirty. I don't want to do all that goddamn banging.

Yeah. The best years in New Orleans, they had boogie at the five, they had 80 at the four. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's where he's at his best. Now, last five minutes of the game, last six, seven minutes of the game, you want to slide him to the five, that's a whole different story.

Yep. But primarily he wants to be the four. Yeah. Nightcap, Big Three is happy to be partnered with the Big Three. We'll keep you up in the league all season long. Well, it'll be the number one destination for all game recaps. Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart.

the announcers calling the place soccer, football at home. Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breed? I inherited that fandom from my mom. I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force. From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Chavari, and this is American Football,

a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. We go beyond the game to the people, the stories that make it great. A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture. I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull. It is an American game.

The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though. Are they the only ones that don't like that? Nobody likes that. As we get ready for the Men's World Cup this summer, listen to American Football as part of the MyCultura podcast network, available on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm Hoda Kotby, host of the podcast, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby.

Together, we're going to have meaningful conversations with the world's most fascinating people. Like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges. I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartner depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Because their new star is J. Torito Hernandez.

Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human. Every single day, I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions ever since I was born. And I still have so many questions. Where do we come from? What happens after death? How do you deal with cancellation? Cristiano or Messi?

Do aliens exist? What is love? Real Madrid or Varsa? From every day and ordinary to the deep and extraordinary. This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine. This podcast is like a deep talk with your closest friends, where vulnerability comes out.

Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before.

And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us

on the night-to-night bases on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball, like, After you go through a training camp with that, I said, you figure it out real quick.

Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. An analysis all summer long. The Big Three, season nine, four games in LA, and Intuit Dome. The night had everything. Close game, big scoring performances, injuries, ejection, and it forfeit, including the first time in Big Three history, a game didn't fully finish. The L.A. riot defeated defending champs Miami 305 after Miami had to forfeit.

Dwight Howard and Michael Beasley got into multiple scuffles. Beasley was ejected. Lance Stevenson was later ejected after throwing a punch. Miami has already been without Reggie Evans due to injury, so the ejection, they didn't have enough players to finish. Lance Stevens and Michael Beasley put one game each for, they were suspended, one game each for their actions during the, and after Saturday's game between the Miami 305.

in the LA riot. After reviewing the incident, the league determined that their conduct fell short of the standard of professionalism, respect, and sportsmanship expected of all big three players. Competition drives our league. We embrace physical play and welcome trash talk. However, fighting of any kind will not be tolerated. Protecting the integrity of the game and the safety of everyone all around. The court remains the top priority. Both players have been notified of their suspension terms to ensure Miami 305 can field a requirement, minimum four active roster players. Mr. Stevenson will serve his suspension in week two,

and Mr. Beasley will serve his suspension in week three of the big three season. Big three. Hey, them boy, we're going at it, huh? Ocho, Ocho. Ocho. What's up? Ocho, uh, kudos to the big three. You know, you don't want to see it come to suspensions,

but when you're a damn repeat offender, bro, you know, you did this same thing happened last season, It spilled over into the stands. You know what I mean? This year, because of, you know, the fireworks that's going to come with these two teams playing against each other, they had security there. But still, that day is.

It don't mean nothing, bro. Like, what we always talk about, you can't have the damn animals running the zoo now. No. Hey, I like that, Joe. That's a good line right there, Joe. But you know what that is, Joe? What?

Beasley think he can punk Dwight Howard. Yeah. How he going to try. That's what that is. He's going to try. Yes. He's going to try. Dwight.

And, you know, Dwight just physically opposing, bro. Like, yeah, I'm going to keep it real. Playing in three-on-three, like, if you guard him, it's, you better have you some damn pads on your ribs

and you can, you know what I mean? Because he's throwing them elbows and all that. And, you know, Beasley and Lance them, man, you know, they're looking for the BS to throw in the game. They throw the BS in the game.

It didn't touch in the WWE out there. We ain't even, It ain't even basketball no damn more. So, you know, honestly, I think the suspensions were warned it, man, because when every time these two teams link up and they wrestling and fighting and throwing punches and come on, man, we like the competition. We like the back and forth, the rarise and all that. But damn, when it gets to the point to where it ain't even basketball anymore, what are we doing, bro? Somebody just going to get hurt out of it. That's it.

Yeah, you're right. You have to keep some level of. Refreshing is a minute. But obviously, you know, when those two play, when Lance Stevenson and them boys get on the court, man, people want to see that. People, people want to tune in. People want to watch. Not for the shenanigans, but the unpredictability, you never know what's going to happen.

The antics. They know it's going to be antics, Uncle, Ocho. That's why these people, listen, I'm like, damn, I'm sitting there watching the game, you know, and, you know, it's competitive because these are two of probably the best teams that's going to be in the league this year. talent-wise, there's not many that can really stack up against them. But, man, when you had it, when you have it going down like this and we can't watch a good competitive game, yeah, man, you got to take matters in the own hand.

Shout out the cube now, bro. I don't think he had a choice, Joe. He didn't. Hey, listen, people were voicing and asking for this last season when they played the first game and they started tussling and all that. People were saying, man, you've got to start suspending these guys because if you don't, they're going to continue to do it because they know there's no repercussions

behind it, you feel me? Right. So now the same damn thing happened this year, you're right. Uncle, you have no choice. You have no choice. Look, they got the tussling and each time it goes a little further.

It escalates a little more. And I mean, you don't, look, you don't want, you know, people to just be all, just out there swinging. Yeah. So I think Q's like, you look, guys, we want you to,

We want you to play physical. It's a physical game. It's three on three. It ain't no full court. You're right there. The court's only so big. Yeah. Right.

But we got to have a level of decorum. We got to have a level of sportsmanship. We got to have a level of professionalism. Because at the end of the day, sponsors don't want to see that. Oh, Cho, this national televised on C-S. Yes. It ain't like this, it ain't like, you know,

they're playing on some local. channel away. It ain't but a few thousand people. Bro, they're on CBS, national stage. You know what I mean? Man? Those people don't want to see that. No. And, you know, Q worked too hard to even get it to this point. To grow the big three, to have it as big as it is

everybody wanting to watch. Going from state to state, city to city, you know, to have them out there acting afloor. Yeah, and we're still trying to grow the league, bro. We're trying to take it to new heights. And it's like, damn, if if I'm a viewer and I'm watching, I'm looking at the product y'all got out there on the

fool, I'm thinking to myself, well, damn, is this what I want to watch every weekend? Why, you think David Stern? The league didn't take off to David Stern cleaning up all that fighting. Yeah. Go ahead. Y'all keep fighting. I got something for you. 70s was a free, it was anything going to 70s, anything early 80s. David Stern said, man, later for this.

How are we supposed to have people? And now, because at least it was tape delayed, a lot of people didn't get an opportunity to see it. Now this thing live. Right. And y'all behaving in this matter? Five games, 10 game, 15, 20 games, 30 games, 40 games. Yeah. Three million, five million, 10 million, 15 million.

Yeah, yeah. All of a sudden, you know, guys don't want to bite no more. You know, you know, that's the one thing. What's the joke? They know how to, listen, we pay your millions of dollars, right? We know how to control you. We know how to control it. We're going to take what we think you value most.

We come in to get that money. That'd keep you have to keep your ass in the NFL I know they got fine money In the NBA Man I wonder how much of the fine When I was playing in Brooklyn I think they said the fine money That they had accumulated over the years

Was that like almost like 60 or almost 60 70 million Something like that Something crazy And we win Joe, where it go? I don't know but I bet they'd give the money The charity in NFL Joe you got to realize You got to every game

Think about this game every week and there's multiple players getting fined every single week. Yeah. Big dollars. Sox or illegal tackle, illegal block in the back, something. Every single week from the preseason all the way through. Ain't no telling. Right.

And, you know, they say NFL says they give it to, you know, cancer research or this Lombardi research stuff. Yeah, chat, I don't, chat. I don't know. Right. Right. Hey, that's a lot of money just to be sitting there. Hey, pull the numbers on that.

On where that money goes, I guarantee you somebody pocket. I mean, I think you can find it. I think they got like seven, eight charities that they list. I'm just saying what they say, Ocho, don't start me the line. I wouldn't know for sure. DMV trilogy looked like they may be on the bounce back, Joe. They defeat Detroit Amps, 5146, James Johnson, and his inaugural big three debut,

had 17 points. Earl Clark also had 17. Good bounce back tone that the trilogy had a down 20-25 season. No, yeah. Hey, shout out to Stephen Jackson. I'm going to tell y'all something. One thing about Stack Jack, he's going to go out there and get him some light-sized guys,

and he's going to get him some dogs. He's going to go get some boys. He going to go in the foxhole with. You know what I mean? That he knows when they come push, come to shove, 305 come out there with all that with Trilogy. They're coming out there with James Johnson out there. Hey, nobody doing none of that.

Hello, that's what I'm trying to tell you. I'm trying to tell you. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Stack Jack, no. He's like, look, I'm going to recruit me a dog or two. Boy, because, hey, I'm going to tell you. Playing in the big three, bro, it's so physical. Bro, you got to have guys like that.

And if they can score and be that dog, oh, man, you got you a goal mind. You know, everybody ain't going to be no ISO. It ain't but one ISO. You know what I'm talking? It ain't, no, no, I don't just say it ain't but one. Aisole. Hey, the six years I've played in the big three, three years I've been MVP. I had one one.

Oh, Joe, you know, hey, you don't have been three MVP three times? Yeah, the only three times MVP, but that's a story for another day. We didn't have to talk about that. So this is going to be a four-time MVP. Okay, I was going to win MVP last year with that 30 I kept in my back pocket. You hear me before them boy. Joe, you kept 30? Before them boy hurt me the first two games.

I had 30 in my back pocket every night. I was going to win this. Yeah. Yeah. I'm in running away with all this. So you just, long, you've been there. You're going to be the MVP every year. Listen, and then boy can't have no fun unless I ain't playing.

I got to be sitting on here with y'all. I got to be sitting there hanging out with y'all. You know what I mean? If it wasn't for that, I'm going to have 30 in my back pocket. Okay, Ocho, that's how I'm coming to the game, man. You know what I mean? Hey, I got, hey, hey, oh, we got to get, hey, we got to get you up. Hey, what he's talking about.

I mean, Ocho and I'm going to come back right. Hey, hey, Joe, I get your leg back right. Come on. It's being right. It's a slow process. It's okay. Ain't in no rush, Phil.

No, but I, Hey, Joe, I want to see you play. I want to see you play. I had a, I had that thing right, I'm going to be right.

Don't worry, Ocho. Don't wear it. So you're not, hey, you think you're coming back this season at all? No,

I probably. I probably. My doctor told me, he said around September is when I'll be feeling probably like a hundred like I really want to play. That's the end of the season.

Season, ain't but three months here. September, the playoffs will be starting. You know what? Hey, Joe, you know what? I don't like your doctor. Why are you don't like him?
