Could have maybe dunked on Dr. J. It's fun to think about. Did you ever feel bad after a poster? No. You ever felt bad one time? Never. What if a guy's wife was there? Shouldn't have been there. What if his mom just died or something?

Well, that's sad. Yeah. But I don't feel bad for the dunk. I feel bad that he just lost the matriarch of his family. What if he cried? Hypothetically. Has someone ever cried? I don't know, but Kendrick Perkins deleted his Twitter

after I dunked on him. That's like, I think that should be on my resume. Yeah, somehow he's still, he's still annoying. He's back, he's back. Carry on, carry the hell on. Carry the hell on. Well look. Good evening everybody! Welcome back to the Adam Friedland show. I'm Adam Friedland.

First off I just want to take a moment to thank our members, the members of the Friedland Family Foundation. If you'd like to support the show, simply hit join at the top of this page here on youtube.com. You'll get early access to all of our new episodes before they come out and are released to the general public. Also, as I said last week, we have a Patreon now if you prefer to support the show through Patreon. My guest this week is none other than former Los Angeles Clipper, NBA superstar Blake Griffin. Now folks, it should come as no surprise

that I've never taken it to the rack. I've never caught a body at the rim. So, you know, it would be easy to focus on the things that differentiate myself from a guy like Blake. But in my research, I was taken aback by just how much we had in common. So without further ado, this. If you're a newer fan of the Adam Friedland show, you know me as a public intellectual.

But what you may not know is that at one time I was a nightclub comedian. I used to spend my weekends on the road going town to town peddling jokes for adoring fans. But life on the road was lonely. And before long I turned to alcohol, drugs, even plus-size models. I was on a highway to hell.

But then one event woke me up. The second election of Donald John Trump. A tragedy that even my substance-riddled brain found hard to comprehend. When I looked around at my peers, it seemed like more and more of them were bending the knee to fascism. As a lifelong Democrat, I no longer had a home in the world of comedy. So I walked away. It's been eight months now. I got sober. I quit having sex. My new vice is the Adam Friedland show, and celebrity interviews keep me high 40 hours a week. This week, my guest was Blake Griffin, who is both a world-class athlete and also a world-class comedian.

While I'd be fine being dominated mano-e-mano by Mr. Griffin on the B-ball court, it would be an utter humiliation to get posterized by him in the sport of comedy. Preparing for an interview is a lot like preparing for a world championship game of hoops. So in order to get back in shape, I needed to get back in the gym. It was time for me to dust off the old microphone. In the biz, we call it a drop-in. A famous comedian visits an open mic unannounced to test out new material. It had been a while since I'd been in an environment like this, and admittedly, self-doubt started

to creep in. In my early years as a comedian, open mics were a second home for me. But maybe I've changed. Maybe I've become so comfortable around celebrities that I lost the ability to exist amongst nobodies and amateurs. I needed some liquid courage,

so I relapsed on alcohol and had a handful of Long Island iced teas. Before I knew it, it was my time to grace the stage and show six-time NBA All-Star Blake Griffin that I've still got it. We're gonna have a little comedy everybody. Let's get things started. Can we get... Let's get the comedy stylings of Adam Friedland everybody. Give it up for Adam Friedland! Thanks for having me! Uh, guys, what a night. Give it up for everyone you've seen tonight.

So Blake Griffin is on the Amazon MBA new show. Wouldn't it be funny to ask him if he thinks the workers should be paid a living wage? Do you think that would be good? I'd take it. Okay. Do you think the Clippers owner Steve Balmer ever made Blake Griffin use the Microsoft Surface Pro? You sir? Definitely. Okay.

Alright. I thank her for making me feel good. Lawyer, sir, the question was is this your handwriting? Another crush, like riding a bike. I only had one joke left, my big closer. A joke I've been working on for years. And if I could get this joke to work, this would truly be one of the greatest stand-up comedy sets in all of history. Alright, so I'm trying to come up with a title for my new book. for my new book. I'm thinking my year of rest and penaxation or my year of penis and relaxation or my penis of penis and penaxation.

P-Naxation. My round of applause, which one of those do you think is the best? My first bomb. I was destroyed. Years of my life down the drain. I'm trying to come up with a title for my new book. I'm thinking Year of Rest and P-Naxation. But then I realized something. There were probably days in Blake Griffin's career that he shot the basketball and it didn't go in. But he kept shooting and shooting and shooting.

And that sort of tenacity led him to almost win the second round of the NBA playoffs multiple times. So if he never stopped shooting, neither would I. ride till the wheels fall off. Give it up for Gwynne one more time everybody. Fantastic. You know you can have a backing track too. You can have a somber by the fireside vibe track if you want. All right we're gonna have some more comedy. Can we get Adam Friedland back up everybody? Give it up for Adam Friedland again. Give it up for Adam Friedland everybody. You don't know me. You don't know me. You remember Maury. You don't know me? Fuck.

So anyway guys, I'm thinking of a title for my new film. I'm thinking my year of rest and penis-ation. Or my year of penis and penis station That's funny. Is that funny? Let's give it's done son. Mamba out. I was ready to interview Blake Griffin. After celebrating my victory with the fans, I headed off stage.

And I went home and attempted to have the best sex of my entire life. This is Adam Friedland, signing off. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special host for the Adam Friedland show this week. It's none other than Adam Friedland. He stands 6'9", weighing 117 pounds from the University of Hogwarts. Power forward, Adam Friedland. You don't know me! You don't know me! You don't know me. You don't know me. Catch me outside. Yeah, how about that? How about Duh? So that was a fun comedy bit. Blake came today. You wanted to do some comedy bits. Yeah. I prepared one for you today. What do you think about this? Okay. Jerry Maguire. No. Okay. All right., um Thanks for coming on the show. Yeah. Thanks for having me

It's kind of weird like I It's just it's strange for me because it's like I don't know I took I Guess we have to maximize the time that we have left Yeah, like it just took so long for us to find each other but like you never really find a twin flame like You know like sometimes people go throughout life without finding like type shit Yeah, yeah type shit. It's like I love this guy. We're like we immediately bonded. We had a general meeting once and My managers told me to pitch you on doing a sports podcast together, and I was like you know I can get blue chew I can get like I could get him's you know this podcast thing is

going big and then I was like career earnings 261 million dollars and I was like like what gave me the right to even think that I was capable of doing that but I think I think I think you were well within your rights yeah are we gonna do it this could be the pilot episode. Yeah, this could be. I mean, I just intro'd you. I know. It kind of went okay. I mean- Are you sitting up all the way? I want to. Okay. It just feels like I'm...

So, yeah. All right. So you're here for the Amazon upfronts? Yes. You're joining the studio crew of Amazon? I am. I'll be in studio, and an in studio analyst. Uh-huh.

And you have a crazy wacky crew because you got to think about the comedy like You have to like if you guys are coming for that number one spot right now I know inside the NBA or go to ESPN. Is that correct? That's correct So like, you know, you guys have to see what sets you guys apart or something. Maybe I think you know chemistry Yeah, actual analysis That's what people love is the actual analysis on the inside of the NBA. Yeah. They're, ooh, these guys. Yeah, yeah. They, it's the best sports show on TV, I think. It's the best show on TV. I think it's the funniest show on TV. Marvelous Miss Maisel.

Marvelous Miss Maisel, shout out to Amazon, shout out to Bezos. The other shows on Amazon. Yeah, yeah. The Boys. The Boys. Yeah. Marvelous, did I say Marvelous Miss Maisel? Miss Maisel, yeah. The Washington Post of course, don't get me started on that. Another Bezos property. Do you? Yeah, go ahead. Can I say one more? Yeah, yeah. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Is that Amazon? Yeah, with Donald Glover. Yeah, Childish. Yeah, Gambino, yeah. I'd say he's a grown-up Gambino his hands are so big crazy I feel like a lady in there if you like um I have a question for you do you think that?

I'm not just kidding. Alright, so wait, so you were a younger brother? I am a younger brother. Yeah, Taylor was your brother. Yeah, yeah. And he was a hooper too. He was a hooper. He played you hard?

Do you think that he got you league ready? Kind of? Yeah. You think so? Having an older brother. You just know all the terms. You just really got it. League ready? Yeah, well I'm high basketball IQ.

League him. Yeah, league him. That's what I used to say. League him. League him! Yeah, what's his name? Jimmer Fredets, older brothers used to make him go to the prison in their town.

In Utah? No, I think he was from upstate New York actually. Oh really? Yeah, yeah, but he played at BYU. Right. They get him to play convicts. And yeah, I mean like it's so funny to imagine a Mormon kid where like guys are like hold my pocket. I imagine like it's like there's zero pressure because it's, no the most pressure because you have to, you want to miss every shot when you're playing against convicts. You don't want to go towards convicts.

No, no, after what they did, I think that's the least I could do, is that they owe society a debt. Yeah, you gotta play this little white kid. And by the way, if he loses, you're in here forever. I can imagine no one's calling fouls. No, I don't think there are fouls in prison. Do you think who do you think there's a guy in the league that plays prison style? Pat Bev kind of yeah, there's a very obvious one you're forgetting

Draymond played prison style. Yeah, I think I think now now guys in prison are like, alright guys were playing Draymond style Like prison rules. They're like we're playing Draymond style. They're not like prison rules. They're like, we're playing Draymond rules. There was a year where it was a little too much penis. If you remember, he was just going penis every time. Oh, okay, yeah. Yeah, sorry. Well, he also had that.

Well, his penis also shook. Yeah, yeah, yeah, his penis also, yeah. Which had happened? It was like his year of penis. That's pretty sort of. My year of rest in penis and relax. Okay, whatever. Wait. I went to WNBA semi-finals with my girlfriend and her mom.

How was that? At Barclays. I gotta say, energy-wise, Nets games, you play for the Nets, they can tend to be a little bit of the traveling fans. Sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, which is like a little bit, I'm sure as a player

on the team, maybe annoying or frustrating. Yeah, we played the Knicks and it was like, the core of the arena was Knicks fans. I went for a Lakers game there once and it was just all Lakers fans. Lakers, Knicks, like Bulls travel pretty well, they just haven't been like as good. Boston fans, actually Boston fans travel really well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they love I mean they they love words certain words

They love basketball basketball. They like saying the word basketball. What else? Yeah, do you want to say him? Yeah, but But I when I went, my girlfriend and her mom, I guess they found this really not funny at all but I was thinking for the dancers, they should have like just sexy eyes. Oh, male dancers. Yeah. Just like huge like eggplant print. Yeah.

Yeah. And then they said- Braised sweatpants. They said that's not funny, Adam. And then they said, Brace sweatpants. They said that's not funny, Adam. And like, please stop. And I said, well, no one's made a shot in eight minutes. So my mind. I've had a lot of time to think.

I'm happy. My mind is wandering. There's been a, I mean, but I will say energy wise, them gals were, people were really going for the liberty. Yeah, them gals, yeah. Them gals, yeah. Them gals, yeah. We them gals.

We them gals, yeah. But they didn't like the sexy guy's idea. I would kind of like in another life, I mean obviously I'd like to be an NBA player, but like. I could see you being a WNBA husband. Husband, yeah. That's what, like just dress like, get a BBL. Yeah. Yeah. Wear, we're fashion Nova

Yeah, absolute slut course fashion. No huge glasses might yeah my wife grinder BG yeah, I usually I could see you being like the one where like there's a little scrap on the court and you stand up Yeah, yeah, come on. Yeah, yeah. Get her! Get her! Get her! Expose her! You're taking off fake earrings. Don't make me get it. Hold my baby.

Hold my baby. I get pregnant. I get pregnant. I'm like a male seahorse. I'm a WFBA basketball husband. Seahorse. I'm a seahorse. I don't know. It seems like it could fit you. Yeah I mean

what was your what like your I are you like officially the best NBA rookie of all time? Do you think you hold that title? Maybe. Maybe. I think so. I think maybe the last unanimous rookie of the year. Yeah. It's an all-star my rookie year. And previous to that, it was Yao Ming and Tim Duncan. Yao Ming fan vote, China, a lot of people. We're actually transitioning pro-CCP on this show. Oh really? Yeah, I think you gotta read the tea leaves.

And what exactly do you have to do to transition to that? I just think that what they're doing over there is fire. I saw when I Show Speed went over there. Yeah, he was having a lot of fun I think I have flying cars type shit, you know, we've got this guy over here type shit This type shit guy over here. That's my new favorite Type shit type shit. You're trying to get back in the league. You're trying to show with those 19 year olds Yeah, you know you want to hang with the Thompson twins. Yeah. Yeah. Type shit. Amon. And Osser. Them boys can play. Man them boys. Them boys can play. Them boys.

Them gals play. The Seward, he had like that game against the Brunson game. That entire fourth quarter he had like he had the straps. Clamps. The clamps. He had him on an island. He was Darrell Ris. Yeah. And then like Brunson getting him right at the end it was like it was such a moment. I think Brunson's so good. He's so good. He's a coach's son. He is a coach's son. Your dad played ball? My dad played yeah college basketball. And your mom went to it was a hokey too? I don't know what a Hokie is. What is a Hokie? Hokie?

Virginia Tech Hokies? What are you guys called? Sooners. Sooners, yeah. Because- It's all agreed to me. In 1889, there was a land run for the territory that became known as Oklahoma.

All right. And the, sorry. Sorry, we don't have much. Yeah, yeah, faster, faster. So the Sooners were the people that just, they went early, they cheated. Oh, they went early. Yeah. We don't have much. Yeah yeah, faster, faster. So the Sooners were the people just- they went early, they cheated. Oh they went early. Yeah. But Hokies are cool. Okay. Sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean to call you a Hokies. I don't know what the freaking nicknames are. Read the cards. How many

Republicans are in the NBA? All of them. 17. 17? Yeah. Who's the- who's- who's- Jimmy Buckets? Probably. Probably. I don't know for sure. I kind of feel like he's got a little Republican. Did he get pub vibes? He's a little bit like pull yourself up by your bootstraps. I was an orphan. Has the demographic changed in the NBA? Did you notice that? Still mostly black. He's got chops actually. I remember when Kobe was a rookie, there was an underst saying that he was a little bit of a pariah because he grew up like a upper middle class, you know and They're like nowadays. It seems like it's kind of like a like a very much a middle class upper middle class league Is that is that fair? Maybe there's a lot like there. I mean think about there's a lot of guys that are former NBA plate like sons sons of them

It's like Hollywood. Yeah, it's like net buzz a lot of nepotism. Yeah. Yeah But does a you cost a lot of money? Is that right? Like not really no and you get spoke you you get free stuff. They pay for travel they pay for they give you shoes How much how much stuff did you get before you? I do I don't think I bought a pair of basketball shoes since I was probably like 13. That's not a good flex, dude. What's the word? Well you were just asking about before.

I'm saying pre-NIL. Oh, you were just getting like free stuff. Like shoes and gear and stuff. LeBron had an Escalade in high school Yeah, well, I wasn't LeBron still not Why you would sorry about that? No, it's fine. He was your was he your goat growing up I loved LeBron like I mean he got deleted what oh four so I was like I was in high school still Yeah, he's still playing as a

Yeah, he's still playing as a Was in high school he came in I went to college I played for 14 years I retired and he's still playing Why can't we crazy? Why are people like appreciating it more? I think people are people constantly are talking about what he's doing at age 40 people are talking about And I think this is like segueing back to you being now an NBA media, right? but like it seems like it's gotten a little wacky this year like Like Stephen A is threatening to have Threatening to fight LeBron like it's like a little bit like can we just he's 24 8 and 8 and he's 40 He's 22 years in the league. What he's doing at age 40 is insane

There's no reason for him to actually retire at this. The problem is, I think the problem is, is that when it's a guy that's up for the GOAT debate, you want him to contend for championships every year. The Lakers or the Austra just wasn't, they weren't good enough. They truly weren't good enough. He's 40.

I know, but I'm just saying the GOAT debate, that's the burden that he has to carry. They had three guys on the team Yeah, Rui I guess Rui that for Austin Austin Reeves. Yeah, little bro. Little bro. Well, he's a hokey or sooner sooner You got annoyed when I asked you about Austin. I was like, I was like, do you like look out for him as the Sooners? Did you when we had to be like, I you were like, he was a transfer dude. What am I supposed to fucking do dude? He was there for one year. It's like, look out for yourself dude.

I got a lot of shit to worry about. Who is your baby bro? Did you have baby bros? Baby bruh? In the league? Uh, yeah I got my young boys. Who are you? Who's the fan? Do you like call them and stuff? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, get your head right. Hey, lock in. Lock in? Type shit type shit lock in type shit keep killing type shit

stay healthy fam type shit who are your baby boys my baby bros for life you know my young guys like Bruce Brown I played with in Detroit that's like that's my guy Peyton Pritchard Grant Williams it was like the guy the young guys that you play with as an older player, you just become like, you become OG and stuff. And then you see a little something in them. Yeah, you see something.

Yeah, yeah. And they've all kind of thrived. Yeah, I mean, mostly because of my, you know. From what you told them. Yeah. What'd you tell them? Like you took them on a drive or something? Yeah, I said, hey, get in.

Get in. And we just, I'll just go somewhere. Yeah, I said hey get in get it and we just I'll just just go somewhere Yeah, yeah, you know what kind of car like a 57 Chevy kind of like like kind of like a distant dad Yeah, like after the divorce, but you come back and you have a cool car So yeah, people are like dads is awesome like the car that Denzel Washington drove in a Training day. Mm-hmm exactly. Yeah, and I would usually make them get wet. And then you make them get wet. Yeah, yeah. You make them get wet. Uh-huh. King Kong. Yeah.

Jake. Yeah. They're like what are you doing? That's good. Thanks. I've been working on impressions. You should watch season four of Eastbound to like get in the mindset of NBA like being a sports pundit media. Season four of Eastbound and Down. Yeah, cause that's when he joins the show and then he gets his juice. Yeah. He gets his salt back.

He gets his juice back, yeah. Yeah, he gets his type shit. He gets his type shit. Yeah. I would love if we could just put Spice together all the type shit. He could get his type shit. Folks, I wanna talk to you about quints.

And can you imagine how annoying it would be if Pat Bev just like, Smelled. Like smelled like poop? I can imagine. Can you imagine it would be equally as insane? Yeah, it's tough. Sometimes like, you know, like somebody's got a little odor to them, you know, and guarding,

especially in the post. One time, I'm not going to say who, but a guy had dreadlocks and I'm guarding him in the post and he kind of banged and the dreadlocks just engulfed my face. Yeah, it smelled like marijuana? And it came back, no, worse than that. It smelled like what I imagine Willie Nelson sprayed smell like without it's not like It's so you smell like a hobo and it's yeah I think it just was it was we actually don't say that we say on on how it's on house one home unhomed

Yeah, yeah, yeah Less home. Yeah less less than a home. Have you? like Who is it? It's not DJ, that's your boy. No, I'm not gonna, I just said I'm not gonna say his name. Oh, it's Kenneth Fareed, it was Kenneth Fareed. God, you're good. Holy shit, dude, type shit.

Was it Kenneth Fareed? Was it Kenneth Fareed? Wow. No, it wasn't Kenneth Fareed, shout out Kenneth Fareed. The manimal, shout out the manimal. There seems to be friction between the eras right now. I think it's because this like, like, Stephen A thing is kind of ushered in like like to me it's like if you look at

the just the what like it's 22 years in like it's it's like it's kind of hard to say anyone's better at basketball than LeBron James is ever right I think for yeah a little bit like and I think that also when I've I've been watching basketball my whole life like it just seems like they're so good. They're so fucking good right now and it's just like instead of like debating eras just be like like why can't people just like appreciate just how good people are at basketball now? I agree I say that a lot I think sometimes we get too into the weeds and like debating like this guy this guy trying to break them down when it's like just appreciate how

Good he is and what he's doing when somebody's done playing then you can sort of like step back and analyze their whole career my whole thing with the the goat debate is Athletes get judged up winning right like Michael Jordan one better than anybody. I don't judge them up What do you know what I mean? Like I don't sure anyone if they don't go to the finals I think there's still a good guy. Yeah, I mean I never won but I Know but you're still nice at ball Type type shit Thanks, so do you think he's the best player of all time? He's okay. I'm a I'm a Laker fan, but like to be honest with you

I'm a Kobe fan right like and like I will say like what we wanted the bubble I I thought it was I like looked inside my soul I was like it does feel a little bit different but I still think he's the best basketball player of all time okay I think that it might be do you think that maybe a little bit Michael Jordan might just be like a little bit like bored and and maybe they took the team away maybe he's a little bit and then he's just he's just a little bit what has he been saying things I don't I think that it maybe through Stephen A it seems like maybe he's just been torturing this guy that's his puppet I think I think a little bit like we've been torturing this guy for 22 years no well Jordan George he won't talk to him. He wore 23.

That's so mean. It's really mean. He does talk to them. No, he's- They don't have a relationship. That doesn't mean they've never spoken. Michael Jordan was an owner for the majority of LeBron's crew. A hell of an owner, too.

Oh, one of the best. Should we buy a team? That'd be great. How much money do you have? WNBA money maybe. Yeah? Yeah. Hell yeah.

We should buy a WNBA team. Yeah. Then we can implement the male sexy dancers. Then we have the big dick, the gray sweatpants dance. Your words not mine. The gray sweatpants. And now ladies and gentlemen,

welcome the gray sweatpants boys. To the knee. Yeah. I'm dressed like a hoe. All the girls are my girlfriend. That would drive female viewership and attendance. Which is one of the most important things for the WNBA, female support.

What has not playing basketball been like? Just kind of, you know, it's been nice to have a transition to a different part of my life. You did one thing so much, right? You did, and to get to the level you were at, I mean, it was your entire life at a certain point, right? Yeah, it was, but I also had things to step into. I had like other projects going on outside of basketball

that I just kind of like stepped right into that. And that helps, that helps that transition. When you don't, when you haven't figured out what you want to do after basketball and you retire, I've kind of seen it and guys are kind of, it's a little bit shell shocked, right? They're like, what now? Do you guys get depressed?

I would imagine, yeah. Some have that. Their entire identity, like you said, for your whole life, whole life, is like, it's no longer there, it's no longer taken away. But it also helps when you retire on your own terms. Like, some guys get phased out. Some guys, like, they want to still play, but they can't. And then they keep trying to get 10-day contracts and stuff. Yeah.

Mello kind of got that treatment. A little bit, yeah, but he still, like, got onto teams, you know. And they keep trying to get 10-day contracts and stuff. Mellow kind of got that treatment. A little bit, yeah, but he still got onto teams. He had that fun Portland situation. I mean, he was Oklahoma City, Houston, Lakers, Portland. Is he the coolest guy? Mellow's awesome. Who's the coolest guy?

Jamal Kich. True. Well, first of all, as a Christian man, God. God won. God won, Jesus too. Martin Luther King. Abraham 3, Martin Luther King 4. Gandhi. Gandhi 7. Gandhi's

not in my top 5. And that might be controversial. Abraham Lincoln, JFK, Obama. Obama type shit. And that might be controversial Abraham Lincoln Obama Obama yeah shit. I mean that listen Muhammad Ali Would all be a little bit about this what do all these men have in common tell us about yeah So you made this shirt? I didn't make that why would you make this shirt?

First of all, the tip dunk was not an offensive foul. That one was a. The other one, yeah. That one was rude. I got a, I kind of got a forearm to the face.

That was rude. It wasn't rude. I'm a rude boy. He's a doctor in Spain. You know that Wow. I didn't know that I think so dr Gasol, I think I made that up like a podiatrist or oh He loved Love feet. I love how Who do you who is your mentor like in the league who like Who looked out for you? Who looked out for me? Did you talk to Kobe ever?

Oh yeah, yeah, Kobe was awesome. So my first year I was hurt my whole first year. I was doing rehab with this PT, this really great PT, and that was Kobe's lady. Her name was Judy Sato. And I would be in there every day. And I remember the first day that I really like truly met Kobe and said and talked with him for a while. I'm in the PT clinic sitting

there and I'm you know you got a heat and ice on your knee to start and do all this stuff. I'm sitting there and I kind of like look up and like the place got like eerily quiet. Yeah. I was like what's going on and I look over and Kobe was like standing at the entrance. I was like, what's going on? And I look over and Kobe was standing at the entrance. I was like, oh. In LA, or just in the world, but in LA especially, Kobe was like, when you saw him, it was like people, it got quiet. He's our favorite guy ever. Bob Dylan Kobe and Woody maybe.

The Lakers. Lakers. The L Kobe. The Lakers. The Lakers. The Lakers. The Lakers play the Doyers later. They play the Doyers. They play los Doyers. The hot dog guys, those guys, those are chillers.

The hot dog guys. The guys that sell the bacon wrap hot dogs. Oh, I see. I usually would pull into Staples Center. Oh, you go first class? Type shit, yeah. Type shit, first class. Ballet.

You ever been to a game and balleted? Yeah, I did. Yeah, for the girls. Oh, you did? Yeah, yeah. Did you ballet when you went to the Liberty game? Yeah, they paid me to go. Nice.

They put you up on the Jumbotron? Yeah, they just, all I had to do was, I don't know, Britney Grindr put a rag on my face, a pastime. All I had to do was just go to Russia and be in jail for a while and... Well, then your life turned around. They traded that arms dealer for Brittany. The merchant of death.

Yeah, the merchant, yeah, the guy from The Lord of War. Yeah, The Lord of War. You see that movie, Nick Cage? Yeah. You should, you, Nick Cage? Yeah. You want to transition acting? You should. Maybe a little bit here and there. Yeah?

Yeah, I dabble. I can write a movie for you. What's the premise? You play a referee? Ooh. Yeah, that's the twist. He gets caught up in a... So we have to get guys that are like 7'8",

so you look short, right? Who's your least favorite? My least favorite ref. Yeah, Tony Brothers? No, Tony, we have a love-hate relationship. Tony's great. Scott hates Chris, right? I don't know, there's something going on, I guess, there.

I actually like Scott. You like Scott? Yeah, he's not a bad guy. He gave you a couple tips Yeah, exactly a couple picks and shoot. I won't call it. What what like People all speculate about that since Tim Donahue. Mm-hmm, right? Mm-hmm. Like What is like what was your impression of our being on the court? Like is this like because sometimes it feels so arbitrary, right? There are make-up calls, obviously.

There's make-up calls. I will say this, like, reffing an NBA game has to be incredibly difficult. Like, we're moving at a very fast pace, and it's like, you're having to decide between, okay, was that contact enough? Which is so, like, it's so subjective. They could beat you up, too. They're the jocks. They're the jocks.

Yeah. And, like, bigger guys don't get as many foul calls as like the thinner, smaller guys. Were there any refs that just wanted, you had to be like, yeah, we'll chill later? Like the Nick Kroll skit? Yeah, like you can come to fucking One Oak with me. Yeah, come on, I got table service though.

What are we doing tonight? I don't know, probably hanging in the Bay's house or something. Can we do like a, I really want to just, my favorite picture of anything, ever taken ever, is just Jaws. In that VIP where he's just like this, by himself, there's bands everywhere, and he's getting a solitary lap dance. I like to imagine there was no music playing. I like to imagine it was silent. So what are your goals? What are your dreams? What are your aspirations? Yeah, have you ever met Drake before? I went to Magic City. I was at a wedding in Atlanta. I went to Magic City and I was wasted. I was being so obnoxious. I was like, have you met Future? They're like, yeah, he's really nice. I was I was like that's awesome. Yeah all those guys. I've actually never been to Magic City. It was a dream. I kept talking I kept saying to my friend Jason I was like this

is everything we've ever dreamed. It surpassed your expectations. And the first six songs had the words Magic City in them. Yeah it's a tiny place right? It's tiny. Yeah yeah I went to I got the Lou Will wings. Yeah, the Lou Will. Lemon pepper Lou's. The lemon pepper Lou's. I heard for a while that Magic City, like if local rappers got their song played at Magic City, that's how they took off. It was like so much more than just a strip club.

They would go from the studio to Magic and see if the girls danced. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. That is pretty cool. It's a culture shifter. Should we just skip Amazon up front and just... Fly to Atlanta?

Just bang Lou's line, ask him where he is. What is having $261 million in... What is that? It's so much money. You have so much money. Thanks, man. I didn't know we were going to talk about this. Do you think about it? Like what is that? It's so much, you have so much. Thanks man, I didn't know we were gonna talk about this. Do you think about it?

Like it's so much more. From time to time, yeah. What is it, what do you do even with it? Well, first of all, 10% goes to the Lord, that's tithing. Tithing, yeah, yeah. 10% Israel. You invest in the community. Community?

Yeah. What'd you buy, boys and girls? Cl in the community. Community? Yeah. What'd you buy, boys and girls? Club? Yeah. Club? You can't say that and not put the club part. I like to pause. Yeah, boys and girls.

Pause, club. Yeah, you know, you try to be a good steward of money. You have an organization for the kids? I do have one for the kids. What's it called? It's called Team Griffin. Team Griffin? Yeah. What do you do with it? Team Griffin Foundation goes to support at-risk youth in Oklahoma. I did in LA, I did in Detroit. I kind of wherever I played I tried to invest in the community. But you use it as a scouting kind of thing? Yeah it's all just scouting to see who's you know

Who's got that next like league him type stuff? I was talking to my agent. He said that the sports department has been thrown into chaos with this NIL thing Yeah, and I know it's crazy because like he said that being a sports agent used to be this glamorous position Like you go down to Bama you'd be like, you know, you'd be hooking up with sorority girls, you'd be like chilling with like the number one running back in the draft. And he said now that they're like in like Iowa paying off like a corrupt uncle,

like of an 11 year old. He said they're like professional pedophiles now. They're boy hunters now. I had this thought that like, the scouts are like the only, it's the only profession that you can go watch children exercise and it's completely okay. I have all these tapes of boys.

Yeah. I have a whole document and I just describe the boys and how they move and how they play. Did your mom know Skiip? Skiip? She didn't know him. In college? No, high school. They went to the same high school. But she didn't really know him. Was he a

dickhead too? I don't know. I mean she didn't really go to the JV basketball games. Come on now! Come on now! Skip! You know what I'm saying? Skip! One of my favorite things ever is Shannon Sharp going from having Skip Bayless as the co-host to Stephen A. Smith and he can't say either of their names correctly. He's like, come on Skip, come on Skip, this has been my time on this show and now I'm going to be with Stephen A. Smith. Suckery, sucker-tash. With Skip, I say this Skip. Unc is it, have you reached out to Unc?

I haven't talked to him. I think he's having a rough time right now. I haven't heard that but I haven't talked to him, you know. I don't think I've't talked to him. I think he's having a rough time right now. I haven't heard that, but I haven't talked to him, you know? I don't think I've ever even met him. Really? Never met him. We have to chill with Unc. I mean, Stanley Thorpe is.

We have to deal with Thorpe. Come on, Skip. Come on, Skip. His name is also Stanley Thorpe. Yeah. He can't even say his own damn name. Yeah. Hell of a name.

I switched over from Fox Sports to ESPN, so I went from Skip to Stanley. The weirdest part of that, like when he leaked, the first scandal was when he leaked on live the noises of his sex. Yeah, that was crazy. But the under-reported part was at the beginning you hear him whisper in the girl's ear, uh, What was your name? Jessica?

Was it? My Jessica? My something, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But he goes, he goes, you take this again? He's on, I mean he's on Club Shae Shae? Club Shae Kade? I have to go on Club Shae Shae one day. You will. I have to go on Club Shae Shae and tell them about all the freak-offs. That's Sterling's. My friend said that they said hip-hip hooray for him

in the locker room. This is my best friend. From the horse's mouth. He was in a towel. And Deborah Jewish was looking at his ass. Mordecai. Mordecai meant, yeah, Heshe Teshewitz. I'm Heshe Teshewitz.

I'm friends with Donald. I think you had a great game. Hip-hip hooray. No, I'm allowed tohe Tashiewicz, I'm friends with Donald. I think you had a great game. Hippie Berrick. No, I'm allowed to be in here. What was like, those Clippers teams, like you guys had, like, what was your roughest out? Probably when we were up by 20 on Houston, we were also up three, two in the series.

And that was without Harden, right? Harden was out? Well, no, he played that game and then he checked out with like two minutes, I think2 in the series. And that was without Harden, right? Harden was out? Well, no, he played that game and then he checked out with like two minutes I think in the third quarter and Josh Smith and Cory Brewer went ballistic. And he went to Magic? Yeah, I think he stayed for the rest of the game.

He went straight to Magic, yeah. Yeah, that was tough. You hit that crazy shot in that one too. A little spinny. Yeah, yeah. That's kind of what it turned. You kind of angered God a little bit, no? Yeah, the basketball God. I think that was the end of the third quarter, you like you did that insane surrogate shot. So you're trying to put all of the blame on me.

I was just talking about the biggest, the worst sale of my life and you just you basically just talking about God, the basketball God, who's in my, yeah who's you know oh we're talking about I thought you were talking we're talking about the basketball yeah I'm a basketball God not that was game six right that was game six at home yeah and then we lost that game then we went to Houston lost game seven what do you feel like after it like awful it feels terrible yeah terrible really but then you still have one game you're like we go win it on the road didn Didn't win it on the road. How do you like, you have to just, well I guess you had another game that you had to

get ready for. Yeah. What's like, what's like, like a playoff exit though, like does that linger? Yeah, it's also crazy because like you, the whole season, right, then the playoffs, so you're used to like every single day you have practice, you have games, you have this, this, this. You're losing the playoffs and it's just like, well, you're used to like every single day you have practice, you have games, you have this, this, this. You're losing the playoffs and it's just like, well, I'm just done.

No more practice, nothing. You go in for exit interviews the next day and then you just go home and you're like, where are you? And they're like, okay, stand up. What did we learn? What did we learn this year? It's tough, it's tough, it's not fun. Yeah.

What team do you think was the best team you were ever playing on? Probably that team, or Brooklyn my first year, Katie, Kyrie, James. Yeah, to me that was like, I really wanted, because I think I read somewhere that like, Kyrie is the best at making things look incredibly hard, and like doing things that look incredibly hard,

and KD is the best at making things that, making everything look incredibly easy, right? They're like the two sides of like basketball genius. I would say that Kyrie makes it, makes really hard things look like impossible things possible right? Yeah I wouldn't say he makes it look hard. He makes it so I mean he's just so unaffected by defense. Was that the toe? That was the Brooklyn? That was the I was at the blowout at I was at the blowout

game. Game one? Was that game one? Yeah. I was there. Yeah. I was like you look great. You look great. You're wearing your Basquiat jerseys. That was a that playoff was like the first time fans came back in the arena. They were doing the countdown on Yanni too. Yeah, it was just Fritos and the NBA came out and said the arenas aren't allowed to do that. Bullshit. We're not allowed to count? Yeah. My favorite thing in the world is to count.

Yeah, counting. I love to count. Do you think the count from Sesame Street was Jewish coded? Yeah. Probably, yeah. Thank you. I mean, in evaluating what you do with the rest of your life like you know

You were a competitor at the highest level right so the element of competition being present in your life Does that feel like something like feel like something that you like miss like do guys? Gamble a lot after the league? How do guys replace that in their lives? I started playing golf. That helps. Kind of get that camaraderie. Yeah, it's frustrating too.

Yeah, it's frustrating, but it's fun. It's a lot of fun. Are you nice? I'm not nice, but I'm like okay. You probably, you probably, you're from John Daly. You probably grip it or rip it. Yeah, I grip and rip. That's what they call me. Really, grip and rip? Yeah, you're John Daly. Oh yeah. You probably grip it or rip it. Yeah, I grip and rip. That's what they call me.

Really, grip and rip? Yeah, grip and rip, grip. You're banging Diet Cokes. Smoking cigs. Marlboro Lights. Going to Hooters before and after. Hooters. Hooters.

That guy's a man, we gotta get on a banana boat with him. We gotta banana boat. Just seeing his like long, flowy hair, the beard. I put a team together, okay, at their prime, every single one of these players. Blake Griffin, Bill Walton, Delante West, you have Dante DiVincenzo, Matt Bonner. So all redheads. But like at their prime, how could the the carpets and the drapes do? How would they do? We could win some games. Second round exit I'm thinking. Oh man I mean we have to make the we were assuming we

just made the playoffs. Is the goat red debate it's you and bill probably yeah, I don't know bills like bill I Mean a great player. What's his like resume? How many in the hall that John Wooden you see a light right right? I mean he was playing against fucking plumbers. Yeah, I mean see this thing that thing also But there's a thing called evolution I like the players back then were still really good because that was like that was the the peak of basketball still and the game keeps moving forward. They just let black people in. They've been in for a little bit.

Bob Coosie was dribbling like this. I don't want to talk shit and you can't do this because now you're part of the lame stream media you're type shit of the lame stream you're type shit of the lame stream media, you're type shit of the lame stream media. But I like watched the 1980 game six finals. 1980? 80. Yeah. And that's like the best story ever, right? Because it's like, Kareem's hurt, they're on the road, he's in LA trying to get healthy,

then there's a rookie, Magic, he plays all five positions, They beat Dr. J, they beat like the, like pretty juggernaut sixers team. And... That's your, that's, yeah. Come on. Yeah. So wait, so now we're back being like the old school era is great?

They were not, it didn't look as dope as like, just that elevator pitch to me. Yeah. I think two guys on that court could have probably leagued. I think probably Michael Cooper could have been a 3-and-D and Magic was like a 6-8 guard. Worthy? Worthy was on that team? No, Worthy was in. Yeah, yeah. I, it was just like, yeah, Dr. J was nifty Finnish. He was Mr., that was like his game. I mean, he was pretty good. You could have lobbed city all over the world.

I could have maybe dunked on. You could have lobbed, you could have lobbed. I could have maybe dunked on Dr. J. It's fun to think about. Did you ever feel bad after a poster? No. You ever felt bad one time? Never.

What if a guy's like wife was there? So? Shouldn't have been there. What if his mom just died or something? Well that's sad. Yeah. But I don't feel bad for the dunk. I feel bad that he just lost the matriarch of his family. Yeah. What if he cried? Hypothetically. Has someone ever cried? I don't know but Kendrick Perkins deleted his Twitter after I dunked on him. That's like what I think that should be on my resume. Yeah, somehow he's still, he's still annoying. He's back, he's back.

Carry on, carry the hell on. Carry the hell on. Well look, in the NBA playoffs. There's that clip of JJ, have you seen that clip? Where he's like, in his ear, he's like, what the hell is that in my ear? He's like, Perk, why are you breathing? He's like, I am the hell breathing.

Stephen A. Smith was like, you sound like you got sleep apnea. Yeah, do you have sleep apnea? I will say this, if you put hands on me, I will have no choice but to swing. You know? Me and you? Stephen A. as a journalist, I mean like. LeBron didn't put hands on him though. have no choice but to swing you know. Me and you? Steve and I as journalists

I mean like. LeBron didn't put hands on him though he just checked him. It's that thing was a little bit insane because your your mom's ex skip during that during that entire beef earlier this year it got it's kept stepping up one like level. So first LeBron is like saying, I'm not best friends with Brian Windhorse, which is like- That was sad. Peculiar. This is like some guy that, I guess he's like,

they went to the same high school at a different time, but like Windy was like his guy for like 20 years. You know, he's also been so positive about LeBron for his whole career. Right, and then LeBron's like, yeah, like he's like going, like he's going like, he's like, don't tell me what to say. I'm gonna spill all the tea in it. I'm not best friends with Brian Whintorse.

He called him a weird little man that followed him around. That is so mean, right? That's so tough. And then Stephen A. comes in and escalates it and says, I will fight. And it's LeBron James. But then the best detail was that Skip for three days was tweeting out into a void where he was like another pathetic buzzer beater from LeBron.

I wouldn't even call it a layup. More of just a tip. And no one was engaging with him. I know.
