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. Check out Game Recognized game with Stoian Miles on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Isaiah Thomas floated a wild hypothetical about what would have happened if Kevin Durant, not Jordan, had been steering the ships for those iconic 1990s Chicago Bulls teams. I said Kevin Durant, if you would have played back in our era, you would have put it in your triple post in mid-post area, and they would have took Michael Jordan out, you would have played Pippet, you would have played with Cookew.

he would have had six championships. Absolutely. With all them around him, he gets the post up in the mid-ray. Yeah, I think he could do the same thing. Oh, no. He's saying if Jordan wasn't on the team and it was KD. He said if you replace Jordan with KD, they still win six championships. Hey, I have a question, Joe, before you even answer Joe,

can somebody please explain to me what's the issue with Isaiah Thomas and why he's always jabbing at Jordan? And Jordan never respond, but every few months. He always comes back at Jordan with something general. I think Isaiah Thomas probably one of the only cats who got a winning record against Michael Jordan. Okay, oh, Joe. It goes back to the dream team. Yeah, it goes, well, yeah, him not being on.

It's the dream team. Isaiah Thomas should have been on the dream team. No matter what you think, and it was a great team assemble. John Stockton was not better than Isaiah Thomas. Isaiah Thomas was a two-time champion at the time of the selection, Isaiah Thomas was a two-time champion and a finals MVP.

And, and guess what? He beat Magic in Magic's era. He beat Bird and Bird Era. They ended. He ended the Big Three Celtics. The Pistons did. Nobody else did. He beat Magic and Kareem and Worthy.

He did. He beat Dennis Johnson, Larry Bird, Kevin McKinian. Robert Parrish, Isaiah and the Pistons did that. He did, he, he had earned the right to be on the 92 dream team. But, but when he walked out to court after Jordan them finally beat them in 91, and he didn't shake George's hand.

Now mind you, if you go back and look, go back and look, you know where he, Isaiah and them got there from? Balson. What? The Celtics walked out of the court and didn't shake the pistol. his hand. Go back and look it up and nobody said a mofo word. Right. Go back and look it up. I'm old enough to remember. Hey, how many years has it been?

Oh, 92 dream team. So you look at about 34 years. 34 years. Hey Joe, Matt, I'm, I think maybe I'm tripping on. I don't know. At some point, do we not get over that? No, not what it's real? Because I said I missed that two times. I was supposed to be on the 80 team. But guess what? They boycotted Soviet because the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. So in 1980, America didn't send anybody to Moscow. So 94, 84, Jordan was already in the league so he couldn't play.

You got to realize Jordan got drafted and still got played because he hadn't played a professional game yet. So Jordan played in the 84 Olympics after already being drafted. So now he said this is my one last final chance. To get this, I'm an NCAA champion, I'm an NBA champion, I'm a finals MVP, I'm going to be a Hall of Fame. I had Azeo on the show. I like Azeo. I don't know if anybody that knows him, but if you be around him, he is so engaging,

he is, I mean, he loves sports. He'll talk any sport with you. Football, basketball, obviously he played at every high level. He's a top 75, he was a top 50 player. Real brother, too. He looks at it like, this man kept me all. off the dream team. Stark was not better than Izaa.

I don't care what y'all say. I get it. He played 100 years. He's the all-time assist leader. He's the all-time steals leader. He wasn't better than I-Zer. I agree with you on that. But I still don't think that Jordan went to the USA Commission or whatever.

It was like, man, look, the only way I play is if Isail Thomas is not playing. I don't think he did that. I think due to the Pistons not shaking the Bulls' hand, obviously, they came right after that, right? That was their summer right, right after that, right? Yes. I think everybody who was over, like, USA, I think they kind of seen and kind of just put it together.

I think when they came to get Joins' well wishes to be able to play on the USA team, I think they may have brought it to him before he ever even said some about it. Well, there are reports out there. I don't know if it's true, but I think Sam Smith wrote it in his book. That's what we reported.

said he would play, but you know who couldn't. So I don't know if that's true. I wasn't there. I just, what is, what is true, what isn't true? Isaiah believed that to be true. And you know sometime perception is reality, guys. It might not be true, but your perception, that's your reality. You know what makes it even worse is the fact that you won't respond.

Rejordan doesn't say anything. He doesn't talk about the. issues and I mean so that that makes it even worse and at least everybody pondering on what really did happen or what really I mean it's crazy that Jordan has said nothing I think at some point I'm not sure when he's gonna sit down no no no no ain't not no he may not run them nascar cars he ain't saying y'all talking about some of um even if he didn't have nothing going on that ain't who Jordan is talking he ain't never going to never talk about that you know how Jordan deals yeah he just never speak to you again that's it

No. That's it. He ain't going, he ain't going to go back and forth and get into the media. Bro, do you know how much NBC probably had to pay that man just to get to sit down and do those two, three interviews that he did with my people. Lydion's estimated $40 million for three interviews, Ocho. Dang. That's what it's estimated. I don't know, but that's what people threw out there. But I tell you what, it wasn't cheap.

No, of course. He don't, he don't care to talk. Yeah. he talked at an obligation. If you go back and look at it, when he normally talked, he talked to Ahmad. Yeah, that was his guy.

Yeah. So when NBC had the rights, he normally sat down and talk to Amar. Yeah, he would go to the podium. You know, he understood that. But he didn't do a whole lot of stuff. I think maybe one or two times he might have talked to Peter Vessie. I'm not really sure because it's a while,

but I know normally when they did an interview, it was Armad sitting down with Jordan, especially, especially when it came to maybe All-Star and NBA finals. Yeah. Amma was his boy. Yes. Yes.

Well, hell, that means Joel was probably one of the first players who had that kind of power the way the players have power today. Yeah, they got to have power. Probably the only one had that kind of power while he was in the media, but he didn't have it on his own team. Because Jared Krauss controlled everything.

Well, you just said the reason that Isaiah wasn't able to play because Jordan probably didn't want a team. They knew they needed to. one guy. Yeah, it was great because you wanted to, you needed that one guy. Right. Yeah. You needed the logo.

Yes, sir. That's what you used. Yeah, it would be great. You could have had all those other guys. Right. But you needed that one big joker. Yeah. It was it.

Yes, sir. The star of the league, bro. Because you got to understand, coming off his second NBA championship. Yeah. He's already, what, I think a two-tive, three-time MVP? Yeah. defensive player of the year, he was the biggest thing,

he was the biggest thing going. And if you want to, if you want to go globally, you got to get the biggest starting with you. You got to be, okay. Well, I know, a 34 years later though, unk,

God. I ain't going to let it go. If you know, Isaiah ain't letting it go. Right. He's not. Jordan's not going to respond. I bet I say,

I say, Zik, let me go, Zik. I'm like, mm-mm. You say no, huh? Because, and the thing is, I could see if there was something that could be done. Nothing can be. If we can re-ran in the hands of time, guys, and we go back and put out,

but it ain't nothing can be done. Nope. There's nothing. Mm. I mean, I mean, imagine if, I mean, I don't know what the crowning achievement would have been like, but just to know that you deserve, you, you've earned the right. to be there. Right. So what does he want? Apology? That's what he said.

I say, I say, Isaiah. I say Z. ain't going to get. No, that ain't coming. Hey, Joe, ain't no scenario you can see. But what Jordan are coming out in the public? No. No. No. Absolutely not.

Hell, I mean, you saw even Pimp is kind of taking some shots at Jordan. Man, look here. Jordan in his own little. Jordan has gone to Pippin either. No, I don't think he's going to... Well, I didn't know, I didn't know they, I thought they were close. Right.

But for what I've been, what I've deduced and what I've heard is that they weren't really never close. Yeah, from listening to Pippin, yeah, he would make you think that. But, man, I just, I don't know. I mean, Jordan was always giving him credit. Like, I could not have done what I did without him. You know, he's always giving him. Man, hey, listen, Uncle Ocho, if y'all notice, it ain't really too many guys that MJ played with on their Bulls team that really give him props, bro. They really talk highly of him.

Like, they all kind of take little jabs at him, you know, saying they, saying that he was a tough guy to play with. He was a tough team, and he probably was all of that. But the man, he had the fire and desire, bro, to come out and compete night in and night out and put forth his best foot. Like, he commanded that guys do the same. That's the thing. Like, I think a lot of these, well, not a lot. I think, you know, some of these dudes who are great, they try to get others to match what they're doing,

Arcan Ocho, and other guys just can't reach that potential. That's why it's hard for great players to be great coaches. Because what you're thinking in your head, you're trying to convey it to another guy, hopefully he can see it the way you see it. And it just happened like that. They don't see it that way. No, that's why most of your great coaches are average players.

Look at Coach Belichette. Look at the really great coaches. Right. Steve Kerr got for, Steve was not a, I mean, he was a role player. Did it job well. Look at Phil Jackson.

Yeah. When you try to get, I mean, I think if, you see Bill Russell, he won, he was a players coach. Casey Jones.

Um, going to Tom Heinzen. Tom Heinson. Yeah. great player. People don't realize how great Tom Hinesson was, Coach Millewalkie. Lenny Wilkins. But for the most part, I mean,

especially to modern, not modern players. Because back then, guys, guys listen. They make too much money nowadays. Hell, they ain't. These guys, they listen. They're talking back in their time. Yeah. What?

That's why I think. But I've said this on, But I've had a conversation with, like I said, I had him on the pod many, many years ago, and I've been places where he was and had a conversation. He ain't letting it go. I'm just saying, so if you expect him to let it go,

he's not going to let it go, and Jordan ain't going to respond. He just talking to itself at this point. He is. He is. Wimby gave a three-part MVP campaign speech this week said, my first one would be defense.

It's 50% of the game, and it's under vows. value so far. Why hasn't a woman formerly participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? 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,

I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist, and John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old. I watched every game, and I fell in love. On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years. since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable.

And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, it's hope, it's heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important.

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.

Welcome back to Dos Amigos. Dos Amigos season two, baby. This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy, where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us

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

The MVP race. I believe I'm the most impactful player defensively in the league. You are. Second argument would be that we almost swept Casey this season and we dominated them three times with their real team. The third argument would be that offense impact is just not points. Joe, do you agree with what Wembe has said and and his reason for he, why he should be named?

He has some points. He has some points. Okay, Ocho. I agree with him with the. defense as, you know, 50% of the game. And obviously, nobody can match what he does defensively. I think the next step for him is to continue to evolve offensively. I don't know what he's averaging right now, Ocho, but it's probably what about 22, 23 game.

I think he'll end up getting that up. And obviously, if San Antonio can continue to be dominant, I don't. I don't know if they could take over the number one spot from OKC over the next couple years, but, you know, they're trending in the right direction. I think he will eventually become MVP. He's averaging 24, 11, and 3. 24 points, 11 rebounds 3. The only thing is hard about the MVP because, damn, you just can't discredit what Yolkish numbers is, bro.

You can't discredit what... Did you see Yolkish last night? Man, come on, did I see it? 23, 21, and 19. Like, I... 19. 19. 19.

He had 19 assists. 21 rebounds, 23 points. Hey, a joke, he'd be out there. Hey, you'd think you playing goddamn 2K,

man, with the numbers he's putting up. Oh, yeah. And San Antonio's two games back from the one seed. Oh, they two games back?

I think he got, he got a great argument, Ocho, but he ain't going to win it this year. He ain't going to win MVP this year. I thought we all. I think about it. I think SGA was going to win, though.

I think SGA is going to win. I think so, too, but I think the player that probably that has earned it the most based on value is Jalen Brown. Yeah. Oh, is that simple? Who had Boston Celtics as the number two seed without Jason Tatum, trading prosengers, getting rid of a trading holiday, Al Horford leaving? Who had them in this spot? Nobody. Nobody.

You're right, huh? You're right. Jalen Brown has a definitely compelling argument. He's averaging 20, I think 28, 6 and 5. He's played out of his damn mind. I just, I just, I know they're going to give it to Shay. Considering that they're the number one team in the NBA still, they have the best record.

And what if they don't have the best record? What if San Antonio overtakes them? With what? What we got? About eight, by nine games left. I think we got 10 to 12. I just don't see them lose. I don't see them dropping two in a row or two games.

I can't see San Antonio catching now. Because they don't play them no more. No, they beat them three out of four. So I don't see y'all. I don't see. I mean, he ain't the leading score in the NBA, but he's probably second. How many games they got left?

11 what they got 9 9 oh 9 yep oh yeah it's gonna be very very interesting back to back

I mean I hate that that that Cade got hurt and he's going to miss that 65 game cutoff hold on I thought I thought he could miss like like five or six games he got to hear you got to come back but do you rush him back and probably and potentially

set him back yeah you got put some padding on that on their rib cage or something. We're trying to get, hey, hey, we we're trying to sign, hey, next country, we try to sign for the 340, man. He just signed, he just signed 294. He's too 90. He's good.

Yeah, he good. Now, see, that's, you got to look at it from a standpoint. You got your appetizer. Then you got your entree. Then you won't come back for a little dessert. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Oh, he'll be back.

I mean, he can't be the more than 24. Huh? You trying to hit him across the head twice? And many times you can. Yeah. What? Yeah. Boy getting to that money, boy. What did you talk about?

That man going to sign another contract for $300. He just signed for $2.90 or something. Yeah. Yeah. But Nix just lost their seven-game winning streak and Mitchell Robinson is not happy. Following the disappointing performance, Robinson took the Instagram to voice his frustration saying,

Don't even matter unless we change our approach. We ain't doing it special. Keep that bull jive up, myself included. Hey, look. Joe, what's he saying? Mitchell Robinson, he may be feeling the way he played 26 minutes, 4.6 rebound. But man, get Charlotte credit. Ocho.

Them boys. No, Charlotte been balling, man. They didn't shoot the lights at the ball. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Charlotte is a scary team right now. They are playing great. watched a lot of this game tonight.

I love C Cinepple. The way he plays, he had 26 and 11 the night. You got Brandon Miller who had 21. You got LaMello who had 22. And Miles Bridgette, 17. I like how

they play. They got great chemistry, Uncun Ocho. I'm talking about they play together. They play the right way. And they got guys who are just flat out bawling, bro. Like, they can beat anybody right now in the East. They can beat anybody.

They shoot the three ball. They made 20. Didn't they make 26 threes the other night? They damn near make 15 to 20 a night. You're talking about they shoot the three ball. I'm talking about they shooting the level off of that thing. You hear me? Yes.

I'm talking about, I'm talking about, man. Hey, look, I was so impressed watching the night just the threes that C Cignappel were taking. He was six for 10 from the three, but he was taking some deep threes, Uncle Ocho. And Lamello out there just playing quarterback, just fine the guys. Man, that joke, I ain't never seen nobody shoot that many one-legs, step-back threes. He got the most unorthodox game in the NBA.

I'm talking about it's unorthodox. I'm not watching play. I'm like, how is this stuff even going in? But they look good, bro. They look like they postseason ready. They ready to get somebody some trouble. I think they will. I think they're going to get, what do they, they look like they're going to probably be in the playing.

You think so? Yeah, yeah, they're going to probably be in the playing. They might surprise somebody too now. I guess with Mitchell Robinson. Okay, Ocho, I think it's the defensive end that he's talking about. You know, they're giving up a lot of points. And, you know, if you want to compete in this league, especially in the NBA, man, you got to be able to guard.

But I'm going to tell you y'all something. Charlotte, they're not playing, bro. They're hard to guard. They got a lot of guys who can go off the bounce, create plays, score that ball. I'm telling my man, they're a fun team to watch now. You know, they used to be a doormat. You know, you go on the Charlotte, Ocho. You're like, oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you take that off as a win. We can go hang out tonight. We got Charlotte tomorrow. We're going to be good. We're going to run these boys in the ground. Man, please. Nah. You better have your tracks shoes on.

Hey, and you look at the guys they got, they got four guys that can shoot the three ball. And then they got Kobe White. They picked up from Chicago coming up. I'm talking about in Ocho. I'm talking about he ain't nothing to be playing with. No, man. Oh, I saw him get a 40 ball to the Lakers last year.

That was probably the biggest pickup that they had Jacoby White. Kobe White. Like he, I don't know if it's because he's back in North Carolina because, you know, he played it. He played at UNC. But, boy, look, he showed comfortable in that hornet's uniform. I tell you that. Yep. Joe, who you got for rookie of the year?

Cooper Flagg. I like Knapple, bro. I think Flagg, his points. I think Cooper Flag got, I think his points are better because, you know, they, force feed him. Okay, Ocho, but C C Cineple, if you watch him play, nothing's force. Everything looks like it comes to him easy. He takes shots within the offense. Like, he just out there hooping, bro. I like Cinepple, man. I like, I ain't going to like see. I do, too. Hell, he looks like he might have 300 threes this year. How many threes he's

made? Because he's already got the rookie record. Man, I don't know how many he had made, but I'm talking about he looked good, boy. I'm talking about. Joe he got to be like 260, 270. Easy. Man had 26 points. So he had 256? 2502.

I'm talking about it's quick, too. He gets that thing off quick. Who you got for rookie to eat? You're going. I think they won't flag. No, they won't flag. But why not Duke? Hey, but listen to this,

OK, Ocho, why not Duke? Would you give him cold like you did, Grand Hill and Jay. They're two ex-teammates from Duke. You know, just do co. Do co-ro rookie of the year because Knapp would, he definitely worthy of it.

Oh, yeah, for sure. And he got a better, and they got a better record than the game. Yeah, they're going to be in the play here. They can possibly make the playoff. Yeah, they're already in the play. Yeah, I agree. They got nine games to go, Joe.

And where they are now? And he has 253. They have nine games left, and he has two. he has 253 made threes. And where they are, they in like the 10 spot, huh? Nine spot. Then eighth, then.

They're time for eight. Yeah, man. Do, do co-ro rookie at a year. You know, I'm sure them dudes are good friends. They enjoy it. They enjoy it. Joe, they two games back are from the fifth seed. So they can make the playoffs.

Hey, bad, y'all. Hey, Jay. It's out. Sweden had made headlines with an official declaration, sex as a sport, with plans already underway for a tournament. The surprising move has sparked debates

about the boundaries of what qualifies as a sport in how it challenges traditional views on both sexuality and athleticism. I like that. A sport? Yeah. I like that. Damn.

I like that a lot because there's so many different ways it can happen. There's so many different ways it can be done. You hear me? It can be a sport because it's a skill set. When it comes to a sport, there are different sets in that skill, you know, the different skill sets in a sport that specifies who makes what. So why does Jason Tatum, you know, get a $300 million deal? Why does the six man come off the bench?

Not get as much. Okay. Skill set, what they can do. No, the same thing happens in the sport that they talk about. Now, I can be- That's going to be very interesting, though, Ocho. Yeah, I love it too. This is right up my alley, huh?

This is right up my alley. What you mean right up your alley? You're partaking this? No, I wouldn't partake. I won't partake. I'm just saying it with great understanding. In that area, that's my area. Your 20, I would.

In your 20s, you would? Oh. No, yeah. No, no, no. 24 second clock go off, I'm gone. I don't, hey, I tell you what, I bet that 24 second clock couldn't catch me. As a sport, bro, like that's gonna do.

I like that, I like that. Hey, these countries, man, they go, I be, there, and this is what they're saying. What the way we used to look at sex and what we think, it was taboo. You couldn't talk about sex. No I couldn't talk about

You couldn't talk about that And the clothes I mean that was I mean back then when I was a kid You know Daisy Duke You know You had the Duke's a hazard And when Daisy Duke came out

Yeah Yeah Boy that was a big old thing man Do you know how bad Oh man Well you couldn't I mean that was that was it And maybe a halt to talk

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.

He said he's ready to go. Yeah, I would just tell you, you know, my circumstances are why I bounced from around. Hey, hey, hey, but if he stole it from you, Ocho, he deserved it now. He deserved to get a long time. I mean, I mean, Joe, we in college. I know it's tight, too.

You know, you know, hey, that money I need that, I know it. I got to be able to eat. Oh, man. I know it. You can tell when somebody get that pilgrim, they're out eating every night. Soon when that money get low,

you see it right back in it. in the cafeteria. You must be, you must be down, ain't you? Hey, I'd never forget, boy. Hey, you know who went to school with me too? Who there? Boy William's sister. Is this real... The Cowboy or the receiving?

No, the Cowboys, Roe Williams. Okay. Yeah, she were the lengths of me, man. They had a huge, not a huge following of students that were from Chicago at the time. Right. Oh, I wish I could connect with all them people, man. Good day. Blyford Busby.

Ocho, ISO puts a respect on Illinois. Don't ever say we're going to lose just sorry as Houston. Go to Alina. Y'all put that thump on them, bro. Y'all did that thing. They did, bro. Drew Jiu-Jitsu 83.

ISO. Woo-Pig. Love y'all. Woo-Pig, man. Stay locked in, bro. You know, you're a fan, man. You're a fan of your team. Be a fan even when things ain't going so well, man.

We locked there. I feel you, Joe. I'm with you. Yeah. We could say. Yeah. Oh. Nah.

Oh, Cho. Yo. Ocho, what about that? Be it on Joe up here, he got the crowd on, he got to cry. The people are gnawed in me. He can't talk about that. I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't control the outcome of this.

I don't think when me, when we do or something, I control that. What about why you had to get the bell? You had to get the belt. They'll put up right now. Okay, I want you. We put up right now. Good. Keep it up.

What, and the crowd. He got the, he got the belt laid down there. He got the crown copped inside, Ocho. It'll come out another time. It's hard. It's hard to be to- It is. I told you how heavy is the head

that wears the crown. I told y'all. See you to them. I told you. I come with that, man. Like come with that. We good 75 SEC, my butt. So rolling with you tonight.

I lost my bag. I need some back. I need that. My back jack. Govall's great. Oh, man. He lost some money, huh? Yeah.

It's all good, bro. He can get his money back, though. How he'll get it back? Tomorrow bet with Michigan. Bet with Michigan to win. Well, I'm not allowed to- No, I'll tell you how he can get his money back. He bet me against you, me whooping your ass.

That's how he can get his money back. He put down on that part of it. He put that parley down, he's going to get his money back. I tell you, I tell you what, if he put that parley down and he bet with you to beat me, well, he's going to be mad two times. He's going to be mad twice because if one thing, Joe, when it comes to these hands, when it comes to these hands, right? You hear me?

They registered out there in Vegas for a reason. And they considered it a lethal weapon for a reason, Joe. I told you, man. I don't give it there and what they registered at. Listen, a knockout going to be worth double. I'm going to hook my man up. Hey, stay loud at 10, bro. Knockout pay double.

Yeah, you see them, knockout double. Yeah, that's how we bet the fight. When you bet the fight, knockout pay double. I like that. The funny thing, the knockout mostly happens,

like when somebody get tired, you know, and you don't have discipline with your defense. But, Joe, all that stuff, Joe, I don't have perfected that craft, Joe. I'm so disciplined, you know, when it comes to combat sports, I don't even think you get a punch in, honestly.

Man, what you got? Come on. That's what I'm at with it. What you got on? Hey, you're nervous now. Rick Love, hey, Nightcap, fam, give us your Mount Rushmore. In-game Dunkers in NBA history. Blake Griffin, Dr.J., Mike, Kemp, Braun, Dawkins, Wilkins, others.

You ain't got Vince called in there? No, Vince? Amari Stademiah? Vince. Sean Kemp, definitely was an end-game dunker. Ant-Man. Yeah. Well, I think you damn all as far as the in-game dunker.

And what about DeAndre? That don't count because he's so damn tall. I mean, he caught a couple of bodies, but he ain't like, I think Dr. Jay got me. I think Vince Carter, Sean Kemp, man. Sean Kemp was. Yeah, he was different. He was different. And, in-game, because Dominique was double pumping back with the deal.

There you go. We'll catch your body. Hey, man, them do free. You know who, hey, you know who a guy that don't get credit for it? And he's a better endgame dunker that he would have been in a dunk contest? Oh, yeah. LeBron. But he just do the same dunk, huh?

No, he gave him. But I'm saying he don't caught bodies with that same dunk. Oh, okay, I see what you mean. I'm thinking about when we talk about endgame dunk because I'm thinking about creativity. Well, ain't no creativity on dunk because you just, you just bam it on people. Okay, I understand what you mean. I understand. I mean, I mean, think about how many people he got yesterday are, uh, uh, uh,

Indian? Man, a couple. He called a boy after a euro step with the left hand. That's impressive at 41. That's impressive, fella. And then hit him with a layup, got fired to talk about both of you charts. Yeah. Sheldon Pope said, Iso is hosting, uh, are you hosting any events in Atlanta for, four, four day?

And are you inviting Ocho? Hold on, when it's four-four-day? What four-old day? And to answer your second part of your question, hell now, I ain't inviting Ocho. Hey, hey, listen, Joe, you know what's going to happen, Joe? I'm going to just show up,

and I'm going to just show up and I'm in town. Hey, you seen the airport in Atlanta? Why ain't nobody trying to be sitting no line, no five or six hours, man? Hey, TSA, hey, what's a TSA, man? People ain't coming to work. Them folks ain't getting paid, Ocho, what you want them to do?

I know, I know I'm just saying, but you have to understand. You know, y'all was screaming at me for not coming to Maddox City night, and the goddamn line of TSA was six, that was a five-hour wait. You'd have been pissed off. You probably had to stay here a couple days. That ain't got nothing to do with you. That ain't got nothing to do with you. That ain't no line to get off the plane.

Tell them again, huh? There ain't no line to get off the plane. Where if it let you do that? H.P. 201, Ocho. Got to put that $5900 in the opportunity. Oh, man. It ain't going to go. Oh, you.

Hey, hey, I'm gonna put it in there because, you know, the Lord don't like noise, man. Huh? I like my buddy, too. I got, I told you, I'm here for emergency situations. Jordan, the goat, 96, Jordan did nothing wrong. IT, one salty, old man, keep crying, bear down on your head, top ice. So, look, like I said, I mean, you know, you hear

stories and say it did happen. They say it didn't happen. Whatever it is, whatever is done, ain't no undoing it. It ain't no undoing it. It's like when, you know, somebody get popped for steroids or something and somebody else getting the medal. Well, I don't miss my opportunity to get my national anthem played at the top of the podium. You bringing me a medal of 10, 15, 20 years later.

What the hell that is? What good is that? Nothing, none. I don't get no heroes welcome when I come. home. I didn't get to stand on top of the podium and hear my national anthem. You robbed me or that. That's what it's about. Yeah, I understand. I want to go metal, but hey, the whole thing

is the world to hear me stand up on that top step and to hear my national anthem being played. So I don't really know, even if they were to give them a gold medal, which they're not. I'm just speaking hypothetically here, there ain't nothing going to undo

what's been done that many years ago. We will take our reparations, though. That'll help us. 828 style. What's up? Charlotte winning now because they got my Duke boys down there teaching them how to win as a brotherhood. They changing the culture.

They are. They are. They look good. They're playing their ass off. They look good. They look like they got a bright future. If they can keep them core guys together who's playing well, obviously make the playoffs.

Hey, man. Charlotte going to be in a good place. JTV, Uncle Ocho, love the show, user name Jay. Question for ISO. Tracy Biggrey said, you called him late in his career. What do you think you would have done with T-Mack if you could have got played with him before the injury? Man, I see, I'm a sponge, bro.

Like, any of them dudes, because I grew up idolizing, you know, the Jordans, the Penny Hardaway, Penny who I played with for four years, T-Mack, who I played with four years. I just used to ask a lot of questions. I never challenged them dudes in one-on-one. ones, Penny, T-Mack, I never challenged none of them. I just always asking information on how I could better my game. Okay, Ocho, you know what I mean?

Yeah. Like, show me something. When they throw in that double and triple team on me, man, how can I still get open and get me a, you know what I mean, and get to it. So it's just the little stuff like that, bro, that they're having them type of vets around who then led the league and scoring, who don't been super icons of the game.

and gave Cal his worst loss in tournament in history. Illinois beat Houston, 6555. Iowa defeated Nebraska 7771. The clutch, the most important basket of the night.
