On Tuesday night, they're on their home floor at the Crip. Yeah, somebody told me that the Warriors are going to make 26 threes and Draymond was going to be 5-5 in the first half. Steph Curry was going to be 5-5 or 6-6. Klay Thompson always shoots the lights out of the building when he comes for the most part. During this week's episode of Mind Game Podcast, what LeBron shares with JJ Reddick,

he explained why it's so difficult to guard Steph. He said, guarding Steph is uncomfortable. And the problem with guys in our league, they're not comfortable being uncomfortable. And that's why Steph and Golden State will always be relevant because they play an uncomfortable style of play. When asked if he hates the Warriors style of play, LeBron

responded, I hate it when you don't have the personnel to match up. I hate it. No, no, no. That's facts, right? Steph has been a unique He's been a unique star That no one has put the emphasis on And that is his conditioning

And his moving We have We have changed the lead To mimic Golden State Warrior Steph Curry without dissecting Steph Curry for who Steph Curry is. Yes, he can shoot the ball. That's not his skill. His skill is he's very great moving without the ball in impeccable shape.

Right. impeccable shape, right? That allows him to move and move, like he has the Rip Hamilton mixed in with the Miller, the Reggie Miller, right? You have a guy who's moving 100 miles an hour all the time. So you,

if you're not in shape, his shape, to keep up with him, you are not comfortable guarding him. And that is the problem with him. That he himself, by far, in the last 10 years, 9, 10 years, has been probably the most in shape basketball player that's played. Yeah. Like his usage of running and moving without the ball is on another level. And that is what makes him great.

And how do you keep, because when we get tired, we're not the same people. You can't run the routes with the same ferocity. That's why when guys run a couple of goals in the two-minute drill, they tap their head and they come out and somebody else comes in. He has to maintain that pace and he might start

at the top and then he'll go up under and then he'll come through. He just weaves his way through. He's in and out of traffic. You can never relax with him. The moment you relax is that's when you get bit. It's kind of like

playing Steph Curry is like being a snake hammer. If you ever relax, you get bit. You relax, he's going to splash a three in your eyes. And then when you try to overplay him he back then he lays the ball up so it's it's so hard to be right with him and yeah we've never seen we've never seen anything like him he's so great that they that he's changed the way the league plays everybody wants to find step curry everybody wants to find guys that can launch up three.

And you got a 7'5 guy that's shooting threes. I can tell you right now, the problem with that is you're never going to find another Steph Curry because you rest too much. You got too many days off, right? He ain't taking no day off from cardio. No. This reminds me of Steve Nash.

When we had to guard Steve Nash, the week before we got to them, I was doing extra treadmill stuff. Even though we're going to have three or four games before we get to them, because I knew every time we scored, he was gone. So for the most part, I'm always in full speed. There was no walking the ball. Like for me to get rest, I had to walk the ball up.

Right. I had to wrestle offense against Steve Nash. Right. That's the same thing with Curry. You have to rest on your offense because when he has the ball, you're in full speed the whole time. And the problem is, it's just not Steph. It's Clay also.

Clay also. That's the problem. I mean, if it's a pawn, and it's like, you know what? There's a gator in there. Okay, I see the gator over there. But it's that, damn. It's two of them. Two of them.

And that's the problem. And then you had Kevin Durant. That's the, I mean, it was, it was, it was, I mean, it's just, it's just amazing, but I'm going to just be honest with you. We ain't worried about them right now, okay? We're not worried about all that shotting and shooting that they did.

They in temp spots still. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't have it last night. D-Loc didn't have it going last night. LeBron was, what, 33-11-7. Played really well. Reeves played really well.

But we need to D-Lo to hit some of them threes early to match. And every time they got it close, they got it to four. And then GP the second, he hit a couple. Wiggins couldn't miss from three last night.

I can tell the way the game. I would say, when Draymond hit, I'd say, here we game. I would say, when Draymond hit, that's all. Here we go. I said, if Draymond hitting him, what the hell you think Stephen Clay going to do? If he hitting him. Like, this is, listen, I was hoping Phoenix lost. I was hoping they lost, but they took that win on. And this is getting crunchy.

Because Golden State got three games left. Blazers, Pelicans, Jazz, which... They're going to win all those. Now, this is the problem. This is what's good. The Pelicans. Okay. This is what's good. You know, if New Orleans loses to Golden,

they got to play Golden State and the Lakers. If they lose to both of them, they can be in the eighth seed. Phoenix can go to the sixth seed. We can get the seventh seed. We need to be seventh seed. We can get the seventh seed. We need to be seventh seed. You need to win one game and you're in the playoffs. And I think that's what's going to happen because

New Orleans have what? They got three more games? Yeah. They got Golden State, Lakers and what? The Grizzlies? The Lakers got the Grizzlies on Friday. Yeah, so we got two games.

We got the Grizzlies and the Pelicans left. Where do they play the Pelicans? In New Orleans? It don't even matter. We smacking both of them. Well, they need to. Yeah, so what happens is if Golden States beats Grizzlies,

if... Who else plays against? Golden State has Grizzlies. If Grizzlies lose two more games, they are... No. Never mind.

Because they only got 32 losses. And the Lakers got 34, right? Or 35? Huh? Lakers got what? 34, 35? We got 35. Yeah.

So, yeah. They need to lose out. They need to lose out. But even if they get to the seventh spot, if we can get to the sixth spot, because Sacramento has they got Suns and the Blazers. So they go 1-1 and we go 2-0.

They needed one of those games. They either needed the game last night or the game that AD went down in. Both of them, preferably. We trying to get out of Denver's eye. I'm preferably. We trying to get out of Denver's eye. I'm sorry. We trying to get out of Denver's eye. You must rather be out of the NBA eye.

You be out to play in, play out. We can't get out of the play in. We good. We solid. Everybody in the play in is solid. NBA scouts project Bronny James to be a Patrick Beverly 2.0. According to the latest projections from scouts project bradley james to be a patrick beverly 2.0 according to the latest predict uh projection from scouts bradley upside compared to veterans like patrick beverly and

other small defensive oriented guards the ringer said james project as more of a disruptor comparison is like these uh patrick beverly beverly devion mitchell norris cole beverly has had a lot had the longest career of the three because he's the best shooter, 37% three-point shooter from three. But all three were respectable defenders. Bronny will follow in their footstep to catch on with a winning team. What do you think? What do you think?

What's his upside? What's the best Bronny can be? Okay, so it's difficult because he has a Westbrook engine, right? So he has a 43-inch vert. He has all the fast-twitch muscles. So he has Westbrook's

engine in him, right? He uses a vert defense. He can pass the ball. He has great vision. He knows how to play. He's very unselfish, which he's too unselfish. He can hit the shot. Didn't shoot very well in college so far.

But when he turns it on, he turns it on. He can be a more explosive Drew Holiday type of player. Patrick Beverly is defense. Patrick Beverly was a scorer, but Patrick Beverly didn't have the physical tools to be a good offensive player at the NBA level. I mean, he averaged 37 in high school but uh to be

a guy you can get like you're there gonna be times where you get a switch on bronnie bronnie's taking it to the basket right okay and he can jump so um he's not offensively minded, but he has the tools. So the people he named, the people they named that he can, his game is after, he's way more athletic and skilled than those guys. Okay. So you think he'll be a first round, a late first round pick? This year? Or is he going back to school? I think it's one of those things where you test it.

This is the advantage. This is the advantage that these kids have today. I'm going back to school, but I get to test it. Now, if I test it and ace the test, I'm staying. I'm staying in the draft. There's been guys that they were projected late first,

the Matrix, right? Sean Marion. Late first round, had a standout workout lottery, right? He went from late first to a lottery pick. So, you know, he goes out there and he starts showing that his real attribute, you start putting him against other players

that's supposed to be drafted in the first round, right? And he can put himself against some of those guys and he's D-ing up and getting to the basket. He can shoot in a draft. But for the most part, you go and test the waters, you go back to school, you got musclemen coming in, offensively minded guy,

plays four guards, up-tempo, shoot a lot of threes, probably put some more offense into his mind where, hey, I need you to be more selfish. I need you to be selfish and let him average about anywhere from 10 to

16 next year, and then into the draft. I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.

He said, ain't nobody better than me coming off the bench in this league.

Russ has provided 11 points per game, five rebounds, and a little under five assists, often providing the spark up the bench with his energy, attacking, and aggression, and playmaking. Is Russell Westbrook the best player off the bench this season okay well you okay you have to put it in the context that he is putting it in right first no he's the most you know he's the most accomplished player coming off the bench he's not better this year than malik monk coming coming off the bench. But he don't have Malik Monk's time. You give him Malik Monk's time, he's going to be better than Malik Monk. That's what he's, that's the energy he's saying.

You know, right now with the time he has and the team he has, he's averaging 11, 4, and 5. That is not Westbrook, right? Right. I mean, yeah, for the number that, for the amount of time that he's getting, I mean, he's got decent numbers. Yeah. So, you know, the Westbrook that he's saying that I mean, yeah, with a number that, but for the amount of time that he's getting, I mean, he's got decent numbers. Yeah. So, you know, the Westbrook that he said that I got, I got three other Hall of Famers playing.

I have to sacrifice. You put me on the bench. You give me bench time with the elite guys who's getting bench time. Oh, I'm blowing the numbers out of the way. I'm 18, seven to seven and stuff like that. So I understand where he's coming from, where he's coming from. When it comes to this game of basketball and we talking about going out there playing, ain't nobody coming off this bench better than me. Right? Yeah, I'm playing 22 minutes, but I'm playing 22 minutes because I got James Harden. I got Paul George and Kawhi in front of me. Right.

That's who I got in front of me. Well, Norman Powell might be better than he is right now. How many minutes Norman Powell get a night? Norman Powell is supposed to score. My job is to give Norman Powell the ball. I'm giving him the ball. That's why

he looks good. But if you want me to go out there and give you 20 and cut everybody off, yeah, we might not win shit. Yeah. Show you what I got to sustain. 26. Norman Powell averages 26 minutes a game. Yeah.

I don't think Russ is that. What is Russ? Russ might be like 18, 22? About 22. Yeah. What is Malik Monk? I mean. What is Malik Monk? I mean, shit, Malik Monk might be at like 28. He's got to be at 28.

I mean, it don't look like he's... How many minutes is Malik Monk playing? Malik was balling for you to tweet that knee. I mean, he was going crazy. He was going with it. And I still believe he will win six man of the year. I think he's done enough. Malik is only averaging 26 minutes a night I only only but you're the go-to guy yes those are good but that's what I'm saying there's a difference Malik coming in as a go-to

score Russ Book is I'm running the the team. Two different jobs. You know, it's two different jobs. Yes, they have to do different things. But I think Russ, in his role, does a great job. Malik, in his role, I hated to see Malik go, damn, I wanted to kill him and stay with the Lakers. Can you imagine him coming off the bench with the Lakers? But then that's who we need.

That's what we need off the bench right now. I mean, we normally, we had good production with Rui coming off the bench, but hell, the guy that was starting in front of Rui was so bad, we had to put Rui into the starting lineup. Oh, man. I can't wait till Christian Woods put that damn...

I can't wait till he get back. Is he coming back this year? I think he's still in Port Aran stuck at the girls' house still trying to find his son. Oh, yeah, he done jumped the fence and got a car and flat the man, put him on blocks. I don't trust a dude who don't know how to serve a person

where you know where she live. She knew how to jump your damn gate and take your license plate off, but you don't know how to serve her with no papers? Come on, dog. Yeah, man. Y'all didn't. I mean, come on. How about this? Wait till she jump your gate, God damn it.

You're looking at the wrong house. Stop looking at her house. Look at your house. She's somewhere hiding in your garage. Damn. I can't find. Look on your camera. They got a kid together, right?

Yeah. I think a lot of that has to do. I don't want to be the one to put my kid's mom in jail. And I, you know, I mean, sometimes you have to do what you have to do, but I was always conscious of that. Now, I'm not so sure it was always reciprocated,

but, you know, I was very conscious of, like, damn, that my kid was going to grow up one day and, like, my dad put my mom, had my mom put in jail, had my mom arrested. And I didn't want that on my conscience. But I also, you know, jump in the man's fence and scratch in his car and I'm doing all kinds of foolishness. Man, it's time out for that. Don't be that. jumping the man fence and scratching his car and doing all kinds of foolishness. It's time out for that.

Don't be that. You know what the problem is with that? We have a conscience when it comes to, and the court said this, they said, they're starting to lean to the less of the two evils and the less of the two evils is the man. Usually when the man is coming to court, he's fighting for 50-50. When the woman is coming to court, she's fighting for sole custody 100% every single time. Right. So the less of the two evils is the person who wants to have a 50-50. So with the two minds,

that's a different playbook. Right. Your job as the woman, you're trying to put me in jail so you can get full custody. That is right. As long as I am unfit, you, so your job is to I'm unfit, you.

So your job is to find me unfit, to find out what kind of dirt to try to make me go crazy. So you can get the full custody because a full custody comes with a better check. Yeah. Right. So there's things as men. We're not going to cross those lines because we do have a conscience. Yeah, I just like even men who won full custody, right? Right. The ones who won full, they still gave back some. Yeah.

Because I mean, shit, full custody just took away the pay. I'm not trying to take your responsibility away. Right. You're trying to take the responsibility and the money. Like, okay, you didn't get the money. Like, after you get the money, now the responsibility and the money? Like, okay, you can get the money. Like, after you get the money, can I, now can I be the father? Yeah, that's the thing.

I mean, you have to let, yeah, I think the thing is, Gil, like, you know, when you're young and, you know, are you arguing, are you disagreeing to be right or to do right because if we're trying to make a if you're trying to be right it ain't gonna work

because sometimes you know you get to say yeah I just want to be right are you arguing to be right or arguing for right? Those are two different things, Nigel. I don't think that, listen, well, I can only speak for

myself. And I think for the most part, the courts are starting to really understand that the men want to do right all men for the most part want to be in their children's lives

they just don't want to deal with what comes the other side of it but it shouldn't cost me $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $30,000 a month to be in my child's life now I ain't got no problem paying if you can show me say well Shannon baby formula costs 20, 30,000 a month to be in my child's life. Now, I ain't got no problem paying. If you can show me, say, well, Shannon,

baby formula costs 15,000 a month. Okay. And Pampers is another 20,000 a month. This is why I need $40,000 for the kid. Okay, boom. But come on now. I was in court, and we were doing family to family therapists. And I said, this is not a parenting issue.

This is a money issue. I said, all these women and men in here, this is a fight about money. This is not a fight about parenting. If you took money out of the equation and said, hey, why can't this person take care of their kids? They don't have an answer for you. The excuses is coming because there's a money attached to it. Take the money away from this, this fatherhood. You take the money away from it andhood. You take the money away from it

and say, let's be parents. There wouldn't be no argument because I was a great parent when we was together. Now, all of a sudden, I'm this. Yeah. You're right. You're right. Out of parenting,

because I can tell you for one thing, if you give the man the kids, he ain't going to be asking you for no money. He's not going to be sitting there trying to put you on child support and do all this stuff. You don't even exist in this moment. You want to see your children? Okay. Other than that, we can get a nanny.

We can get a maid. Our mother's going to do that. When you have the children, you're taking us to court for responsibilities because obviously you can't do it on your own. And that used to be my argument. Well, she can't take care of the kids and she needs my money. Won't you give the kids to me? I don't need her money. It's easy like that the person who can take care of the kids

without the other person should be primary right they normally give that they normally give that they normally give that to the woman you're taking my money to make her primary shit don't take

my money to make her primary if you can't sell it if you can't take care of the kids by yourself then give it to the parent who can and then you go from there that's yeah but once it out of once it becomes a pocketbook. Yeah. Well, we're going to lose that. It's a fight. There's always a fight over money. The fight is not about the responsibility of kids. It's the fight about the money of it. If you take money out of it, you took child support out of it.

Oh, trust me, there's going to be some deadbeats out there. Right? For sure. Out there, for sure. But for the most part, you will get it right when you take out the money. Yeah. Me, everybody knows me. I got a big heart.

I ain't got no problem with the money because I can go make some more of that. Just show me where the kid needs this, and we got it. Don't show me. Hey, hey, bring him over here. Dog, dog, dog. You know what I'm saying? Hey, because I'm look, I can get up. Look, I have a team. I have a team in mind that he and his, I think.

Girlfriend or something broke up and he got the kids and he, you know, he got a nanny go to work. He come football practice and he did everything that he needed to do. And he, you know, he go pick it up, pick, pick the child up. Hey, I get it. I ain't got no problem. Like I said, I ain't never had a problem with responsibility and I'll pay whatever I need to pay. Whatever. First of all, whatever the judge say, I'm going to pay anyway.

I ain't finna keep going back and forth. But, you know, sometimes, you know, it was just like I i said we were both we were young and you know everybody wanted to be right and you know it was and so i was just like man you know what and and i said because at the end of the deal you know what i said at the end of the day two people lose two i say at the end of the day you just went way back I said, the only person that's leaving this courtroom, a millionaire, is me. I'm the only one. Why we keep going giving this guy

all this money? I could be putting this away for the kids. What's going to make you happy? What's going to make you happy? Let's get out of here. I'm done. Because people i mean i don't know if anybody out there know but when i when you go to court as the man as the man me in our situation we got to pay for her attorney too so he don't he want to keep he or she wants to keep it going those billable hours are going to somebody they know can pay yep and that's that's that's the

problem with the fight right um um when you have zero it don't matter what you're fighting for because you're gonna get something it's no different than divorce right right if a man has a100 million and you're getting 50%, you don't realize if you take the lump sum after the 50, you only get $25. You don't care about the $25 because you got $25 more than you had anyway.

Long as you get what you didn't have. I got $25 million more than I had before. I got $25 million more than I had before. I don't give a shit if the government took $25. I don't give a...

What? If you give me two, it was two more than he was going to give me. Give it to me. They don't care about how much you're spending as long as they get some of it.

That's all that matters. I was just young. I'm glad we were all able to come together and have a great relationship. I had to soften because I just felt like I don't like to be taken advantage of. I don't. And because I'm going to give you,

but I don't want you, I don't like feeling taken, cause I'm going to give you, but I don't, I don't want you. I don't, I don't like feeling, take advantage of taking advantage of difference used. Okay. But don't take advantage of me. Man. Cause I'm going, I'm going to give you because I want my child to have,

and, and you have the child. So I don't want my child living in squalid conditions. So I'm going to make sure. But come on now. Let's be reasonable. It's that lifestyle. They want the lifestyle they had.

But you can't. That's just the way it is. Yeah.

I called and checked on them. I always add, you know, I call and check on them, make sure, you know, happy Mother's Day, you know, you know, I don't remember. Hell, I don't remember no birthdays. Hell, I barely can remember my own. Yeah, I don't do no, I don't do no. My brother, my brother, my sister, my kids. That's about all I got.

And granny, because it always falls around. It's May the 12th. I can always remember that one, but man. But, hey, we raised, I got three great kids. My daughter graduated med school. My son, I'm a grandpa. And my oldest, man. I ain't think we gonna be here though, Gil.

I ain't think we gonna be here the way we started out. It didn't start out good, but we ended on a good note. We ended gonna be here the way we started out it didn't start out good but we ended on a good note we ended on a good note it didn't start out good it didn't start out good but we ended on a good note and at the end of the day Gil that's what it comes down to so we great

now we have a relationship we can pick up the phone and call and I think that's what it should be and you know for the kids especially as the kids start to get older and they could comprehend like why we what we arguing about i mean and for me it just got to the point gail look if this is gonna if if this is what's gonna make you happy and gonna keep you know keep you from I'm having to pay. Because sometimes, hey, you pay 10 to keep them paying 20.

Even though you know, bro, take it. Take it. And so now, you know, the kid's like, hey. But I think the thing is, they did a great job. I'll be I'll be I'll be pissed if my kid if my kids didn't turn out as well as they did. All the money I had to fork over. But they did a great job. They did a great job.

And I think the thing is that they explain to the kids that, look, the lifestyle that you do enjoy is because your daddy is so focused in doing what he does. And as they got older, they really understood. They really understand now because they're adults. Yeah. And they got to work and they got to pay a mortgage and they got to pay a card note and they got to do all that thing. And they're like, well, damn, daddy, you did all of that. You did all of that.

And you took care of Aunt Libby and you took care of Granny and you took care of Aunt Libby, and you took care of Granny, and you took care of Grandma Mary Dixon. Wow, Daddy, we, yeah, yeah. Your daddy did all that. And now, you know, especially when they, you know, because my oldest came out here when I had my second surgery, she told my sister-in-law,

I want to take care of that. So, and she see, like, damn. Like, had to help me, well, I want to take care of that. So, and she see, like, damn.
