The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Alley Oop 141: Will the Mavs TRADE for Anthony Davis?! | OKC Thunder Hype & Keyonte George Meltdown Review

Episode Date: December 2, 2025

Keyonte George had a performance so rough that even the backboard filed emotional distress. Juju Gotti & Trysta Krick break down the carnage possession by possession and ask: Is this the worst game of his career… or just the beginning of the Jazz Pain Cycle? Then they pivot to the OKC Thunder, who may or may not be trolling the entire NBA by being this good, this young, and this annoying to guard. And of course, the latest chaos: Is Anthony Davis getting traded to the Mavericks? Does Dallas really want AD’s yearly “mystery injury side quest”? Juju & Trysta take it all on with their signature mix of hoops knowledge and certified foolishness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Juju, I wear jerseys. Juju Jersey, juju jerseys. You feel, me? No matter who it is, I like every team. You feel like me, like if I'm being real. But at the same time, I root for the Celtics. My favorite player is Ant Man. That's not here nor there.

I'm joined by my sister. Come on, y'all already know who my sister is. Trista Craig. How are you doing, sis? one of the only YTs that ever had a black a black planet account come on man we got to get a look

we got to put it in the rafters that's that's celebratory the only YT with a black planet ACC come on me and I didn't even want to get on it it was just where all my friends were and they're like come on tree tree

come on you got to get up on there and it's like but it says black planet and they're like but you but you're with us And I'm like, oh, okay. Come on, man. And then guess what came out later, the album? And then guess what?

The mixtape, Tree, Tree coming soon to it. Matter of fact, we need to revive Tree Tree. I think that might be what my New Year's resolution coming soon. Spoiler alert. But speaking of the holiday season, what stood out for you the most of this holiday season? Whether it's hoops, whether it's family, whether it's experiences. What stood out to you the most this weekend? Well, in terms of basketball, I was at,

the game on Sunday between the thunder, the defending champs and the Portland Trailways, there's the only team so far that's beat them. And I just don't know that they're stoppable. They're 20 and 1. Their offensive rating is an

absurd 119, top 7, top 8 in the league. Their defensive ratings 103, number 1 in the league. They have the best net rating in the league. They've got the best, you know, mid-range God, free throw merchant.

They got Jalen Williams back. They didn't even need Isaiah Hardinstein to beat the Blazers. Chat got in foul trouble. I mean, they're just really inevitable. And I don't, I think it's kind of, it's been one of the most fun seasons of the NBA, but also at the same time, it's different than last year because everybody was still kind of like, well, we like the thunder and all, but we'll see what it's, what it's about in the playoffs.

You know, we'll see if they can, these young guns can really deliver. when it's time when it's ring time and it's like now we know that they can deliver when it's ring time and they're even more dominant so it kind of takes the mystery away of who's going to win the title truthfully i push all your point just then push ah consider yourself gufah i think the look the thunder as good as they look they're going to have to show me again in the playoffs bro don't forget the nuggets took them the seven last year with that nuggets team That ragged nuggins team with Michael Porter Jr. Going over $7,000, you feel

me? Like that, with Russell Westbrook, you don't know whether he's going to shoot the ball or shoot you. Like, this was the Nuggets last year. And they took him to seven. So I think that with the Nuggets rearranging and getting a couple pieces like with my boy, Cam Johnson, I think that right now,

don't judge, you feel me, don't judge Cam Johnson right now for how he's looking right now. What's this, November? Don't judge December, Cal Johnson. I think that Cam Johnson move going to make a lot more sense during them playoffs. And I think just against them, Oklahoma

City Thunder, they got a little bit more to worry about for that championship than people think. Yeah, I think that's right. I think that's right. I think what I'm seeing is just a team that you wonder how many regular season games they can really win,

right? Regardless of the playoffs, and I will need to see it again. And I think you're right that the Nuggets could have actually won that series with that reggity-ass low-depth team that they had. And they kind of gave one away to the thunder. And honestly, like, the Pacers could have beat him as well if Tyrese wouldn't have gone down or if they would have just covered, you know, handled business in that game that they collapsed. But they're 20 and 1, Juju.

They're 20 and 1. If they go another 20 games, if they're 40 and 2, we've got now a 6. 78 and 4 team. I mean, hey, look, and that's cute and that's adorable. Great job. Remember that one year when Tom Brady went undefeated in the regular season? And then the Giants said, come here, come here, my brother in the Super Bowl? You say you don't care about the regular season.

That's what I'm saying? Since when we start caring by the regular season now. 73 and 9. Now we care about the regular season. 73 and 9, Ju-Ju. And what? I don't give a damn. No, no.

73 and 9 and they lied. And they lied. They got put home by the Cleveland Cavaliers. So you can win 73 and still get sent back to Cancun. Come on, man. You know, Cancun looks. They love a champion. And they're the Cancun.

Lord of welcome a former champion down there. They already got the T-shirts prepared for you. How was your Thanksgiving meal? We ain't going to skip over that. it was it was fine i don't i don't love thanksgiving juju it's fine i don't know that there's really i don't think i like food that much you know it's just a holiday where you're built to even if you have a bite of everything you still end up being stuffed and there may not be a worst feeling for me in the world than being full. Like I just, yeah, ugh. Yeah, I feel you.

This year, though, out of nowhere, because I'm usually like that too, right? I go to the store and get what's there. Give me the sausages, the, what's they call them, the Polish sausages. I throw them on the grill, you feel me. I get some tailored chills, Louisiana. What is this? A barbecue? You're having a barbecue on Thanksgiving? You see what I'm saying? Like, I never cared about the sanctity that what people think I'm supposed to eat on Thanksgiving. I feel like as long as I'm having food, I'm having a great day. Yeah, it did. And so, yeah, I get the Polish saucers that still left.

Shoot, they get some salmon. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I'm going to treat myself on Thanksgiving. And so, but this year, though, my first year, I bought a turkey. You did. You feel me? It wasn't that good. The way you're rubbing your hands, the way you're rubbing your hands, I know it wasn't.

that good. Look, I promise to God on my life. So it's a lady that goes to my gym. She has a restaurant when she said wings and bruh, very fire. So sis, what she does on Thanksgiving is she go to the schools for the kids and give out turkeys for Thanksgiving. But at her restaurant, she sell fried turkeys, cajunct-style barbecue and lemon pepper. I got a lemon pepper, turkey, fried turkey.

I'm here to tell you. Ease up on the turkey convo. That's all I'm going to say. I got to get you a plate out there ASAP because my goodness gracious, fried lemon pepper turkey for the win. And I still got so much. I just ate me a sandwich before we just started here. Sandwich me right now.

Sandwich me right now. I made turkey wings. Okay. Which, let me be honest with you, Juju. I posted that join on the gram. And it was like, it was like the telltale sign of like who, like who really rocks and who doesn't, right? And that turk, those turkey wings looked incredible. Crispy on the outside.

We're based in every 30 minutes. We're putting the season in on there. We got lemon pepper. We got honey butter. We got all kinds of stuff. Yeah. And I, when I tell you, Not one YT brother or sister gave me a shout out.

That's messed up, bro. It was only my brothers and sisters from the other side of the melanin complexion. See, but that's why you get invited to black planet.com. For shit, just like this. Oh, y'all don't appreciate the turquoise? Oh, okay. I know what they go. Appreciate them.

Yes. I had probably 60 people being like, damn, those look good. Damn. Come on, man. not one of like all my hate and ass white friends they're like why do you why do you want the bad part of the turkey oh my god you two americas for sure for sure blackplanter dot com backslash tree tree lock in right now moving on though to my brother it's back to the into the league my brother keontay george brer he had one of the worst games in recent memory bro we already know the

The Tony Snell game might be one of the worst games ever. Even though Tony Snell, a good guy. We know he listened to, like Solution. Starting out with the besmirch is very unlike you. Come on, man. I'm learning for my sister, bro. We got to look. I'm trying to get better at this.

You did me? And I know you're the best in the business. So I got to be like my sister. Ms. Rebecca Road, the Keante George footage from the other night. It's kind of hard to explain. Brother, what is, what are you doing? Pass to the other. You can't have a ball.

lay up what's happening he's wiggling though right oh no turnover kiante oh no this is a givante type of a performance bro look oh no kianti this is this is egregious you got to sit down bro what is this on the coach too a little bit bro oh my god no hell now after the third one bro you would have came and sat by me so As bad as this is on Keiante, the Utah Jazz coach leaving his man in this damn game this long. Boy, what the hell wrong with you? Well, that just tells you, head coach, my man Will, he's got, he has no desire to win games. It's no desire to win.

I have to stay real quick. I was at the game yesterday, two days ago. Which game? Portland. Portland versus O KC. Yeah. and I've been very gentle with twin Chris Murray. Oh, no.

I don't have any. Kiante George is giving me Chris Murray PTSD. Ah, man. When I tell you Chris Murray, the experience of watching a role player this magnitude that's literally in the starting lineup right now for no goddamn reasons other than the- brother got paid too on the outseason, didn't he? No, that's Keegan. That's his brother.

Murray, the good Murray. Yeah, he's the bad one. Yeah, Murray. Exactly. When I tell you the Chris Murray experience is like shoving a pencil in your eye, it was brutal. Damn, right. He turned the ball over against the champs. So many damn times you don't want him. He has no athleticism. And I've been putting on for Chris Murray being like, maybe he's not as bad as everybody thinks. Like, oh, look, he shot a corner three. He made it. And he gave us a couple of those.

I just want to say, Chris Marie, you're on my naughty list. You were horrible. You were, he had his head down, though, in the locker room after the game. I felt bad for bruh. He knew he was bad. He knew it was his fault. Could have beaten the champs twice. The only team to beat champs is Blazers.

They could have had two wins instead of one. Bray, you know what's so sad, like, so deflating. Like, you know, like, you get up to about December 23rd. the dance time to hit you with the news like good list noddy list you got my boy going into December December 1 naughty list don't worry about the decorations don't worry about these trees you seeing nothing is under there for you my boy it's cold it's cold in the stocking for Chris Murray guaranteed well look get my boy some matches and he'll have a little song is there is the rip city remix for you my boy if I was in charge down but moving on

It's breaking news out of the NBA, bro. And like you say, I'm wearing the jersey. It's rumored that AD himself is expecting to be traded, bro. How the mighty have kind of admitted they weren't mighty the entire time. How do you feel about everything going on in Dallas right now? No matter what if it's Cooper Flagg looking good, no matter what's going on. Kyrie coming back, it will assume. What's your, what are you getting?

getting right now out of Dallas. Well, what we're seeing is the Cooper flag is one of them ones. He's killing. He really is. And multiple 30-point performances, you've got him defending on lockdown. He's taking the ball, making people look silly, making the clippers look like they're a disaster. He's getting better with the rock in his hand. He's like really starting to put things together.

And that's what Jason Kidd wants for him, right? is putting him in tough spots and getting him to develop quickly. Like the learning curve is very steep for Cooper Flag and he's handling it well, I think. I know that we have con canipple. That's his name, nipple, canipple, aka the nipple. He's actually like neck and neck with Cooper Flag for Rookie of the Year right now. The two exciting American whites going at it for Rookie of the Year is not something I anticipated going into the season. But I think, like, Dallas outside of that is, is, like, pretty much in rebuild mode.

What was you going to say? Bro, in every other instance in my entire life, K-N make us just a, like, you know what I mean? Like, it's not no, you don't say k'nology. You don't say k'nife. You say knife. You say knowledge. I think my boy last name really is nipple, man. Yeah, I agree. Yo, someone needs to ask him, listen, how, you know what I'm going to do when Charlotte comes in town. Yeah. I'm going to ask him to pronounce K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E.

How do you pronounce that? Knowledge. How do you pronounce Knife? K-N-I-F-E, Knife. How do you pronounce? The 1990. Right. How do you pronounce the 1990s hit show, not slanding?

My budget has been smudging folks all year on that basketball court. Where Rudy Gobert, a new member of the Come Home Club

Look at yourself in the mirror and say, my bad. Moving on, though, Maxie Kleber the other night for the Lakers. My boy, I don't know, this might should go into the boy style area because my boy drove down the lane, had

pretty much an easy end-one situation. These are professional players we talk about. My boy drove in the lane And threw up an air ball Layup, bro. LeBron James could not contain his laughter. Camera zoomed right on,

ain't on my boy. Roll it, Miss Rebecca. Look at there. Airbao. What did that even get? What did that even get? Oh, my God. LeBron.

LeBron dumb as hell, bro. Like, come on. You know good. Look at that camera on you, bray. Don't laugh at favor. Did his hand hit the rim? I don't know what. the hell happened to Maxie, bro.

His hand must have hit the rim. Ron can't even contain that what, it wasn't an air ball. It hit something. There's definitely a ricochet shot. Maxie. Can you imagine how bad your ups are if you can't even finger roll it in?

Oh my God. You got rim checked on a finger roll, sir. They're going to clown him at practice. You got a rim check on the finger roll by being guarded by Sadiq Bay. That's just a funny sentence. They said, sir, you need to do some more calf raises in rehab because you can't even get up when you're almost seven feet tall to finger roll? You can't even finger roll without a rim check?

Okay. This brings to the perfect time to go to a segment we like to call boy style. Miss Rebecca, what you got for us this week? That little snippet of Asia Wilson, the hot ones. Oh, damn. I ain't see it. Oh, it made me laugh. And it's also, you know, it's thematic.

It's thematic. You're talking about the turkey wings. You're talking about the wings. Yeah, you know, it's within the theme. Damn, I never heard that. It's part of the theme. Theme. Madic.

I like it. All right. You kind of remind me of seven. from stranger things where you're like you just repeat the word you don't quite know that was for gillet

like in a weird robot voice Yeah Hold on Who was seven I thought she was like 11? It's 11 Right

It's 11 See I got T2 about Oh yeah 11 It's 11 It's 11 It's a journal right man

We're games included Okay This isn't bad She enways The side of the table Oh Yeah The tongue is damn

You sure this is the second I almost think three is a little softer touch. Yeah. What a summer. That's what in my face. I'm sorry I gave you a compliment. Lord. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Take your time. And then I don't see how you still talking. I know. I didn't say my grace before. That's why I was kicking my life. Damn. That is true. No grace, no grace. We're good. We're good, though. We're good.

Yeah, yeah. We're good. On top of that, respect. I promise you, I'm going to be polite and give you eye contact, but right now... No, no. What I really need to go. That bomb ain't nothing to play with. Honestly, I can't even taste this one. I rebuke it I rebuk it I don't know I didn't know it could be this hot

My favorite thing was I rebuke it I rebuke it I rebuke it I like she was like She's like Oh I'm sorry I paid you a compliment

Brough How hot the wind's got to be For you to contemplate Look at me in my damn eyes She said You know what I ain't gonna look at you What

Brough Can you guys eat hot stuff Can you eat hot stuff? Yeah, I'm kind of like a dragon. You're a dragon? Like a ghost pepper and all that? You could do all that? For sure.

I think we need to make our bets that we do for our betting segment. Where if Juju loses, he eats something hotter than, like, I get to choose what he eats that's hot. I like that. I like that. And we get to watch him eat a ghost pepper live on the screen. Look, just for a little point of contention. Every bottle of tequila I get from the store, I get like a bottle of tequila ahead of time, you know what I'm saying, before the next one. But I soaked the other one.

I got a jar full of peppers, serrano pepper, hot peppers, and I soaked my tequila in nothing but peppers for at least a week. And so all of my shots, bro, everybody who come over here, they be like, bro, what the hell is this? I'm like, yes, stay out my damn refrigerator. Do you take the peppers out of the tequila so they can't tell? nah you just pour it well you know i mean you wonder what's going on once i'm pouring shots and they're just over there i got a little jar in the refrigerator right now that doesn't have anything but the freshest one and the other one's soaking for the next one so i mean that's just a little little insight to what i how hot i like stuff anyway you did wow that's crazy that's a

crazy anecdote honestly one day a bad story look that's the most interesting story you ever heard in your life i could tell on your face i'm sure I look at you right now. You can't believe I told that story, man. Part of me, part of me wants like a spin-off show where I just delve into the mind of Ju-Jugati and like how you live in general. And his tequila peppers. My mom, here's something for y'all delving into my life.

My mom is so frugal. She does this thing called Buy Nothing, where you, basically it's a communal hippie thing, but like the idea is that you don't really need to buy. anything you just get stuff from the community a one mile radius and you like put the word out if you need something right no it's great it's great i got um what did i get the other day i got a candle that i had to pick up anyways she by nothing she submitted a bid for so she likes 2% milk and i like whole milk and she submitted a bid for milk okay here we go and the milk had been used and opened for Thanksgiving,

but they just used one cup for something in their recipe. And I told my friend, he goes, hold up. This is used milk he's getting on buy nothing that you're going to have to pick up from someone's porch. R rethink that.

You know how bad it would suck to be the first victim of the milk poisoner on the damn. I was going to say that that's where my mind went, the fentanyl all milk. I hope you enjoyed that sense at all, no. I don't know where you live. You don't even hear the story.

You don't even know it exists. This problem is out there. You're just the first one out of here. Also, too, before we get out of here, everybody, if you got iTunes or whatever, check out my dog.
