I'm going to show you some NBA teams, their entire starting five.
You're going to guess the team you're looking at,
but you are going to guess these teams by their collective nicknames.
Every single player on this team, one through five, you'll see a nickname.
Try to identify the team.
Okay.
Testing our knowledge.
Let's see.
Let's tell you your nickname knowledge.
All right, here we go.
First team.
First off, you got the Chosen One, Ducky, the Terminator, the Winter Soldier, and Puddle.
Puddle is hilarious.
I never heard that nickname.
Chosen one got to be LeBron, right?
These are all current day teams.
teams.
Oh.
LeBron is currently not on a team as they were recording this.
Yeah, he's out of the league.
Tragic.
He's out the league.
So I have no idea who Ducky is.
I have a feeling off of the Terminator and Puddle who this team is.
What do you hear when you see Terminator?
I think of obviously like a cyborg, like a robot type of vibe.
Human AI.
Yeah.
And I think that the only person that fits that would be co-operable.
Why?
Yeah.
And then if we're going back to the game of zones, then Yaka Purdle is Jake Puddle.
Jake Puddle.
This is the Toronto Rafters.
Why is Scottie Barnes the Winter Soldier?
Because he plays up north.
Oh.
He's the winter soldier.
I don't know why, but Ducky is so fitting for RJ Barrett too.
He just looks like a duckie.
Yeah.
Waddles?
Yeah, it's a cute little big day for him.
Does it have anything to do with the fact that his last name is Barnes?
It's like.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Bucky Barnes and he plays up north.
He's the winter soldier.
I like that out of you.
The chosen one for quick.
It's good writing.
That's good writing.
The chosen one is random.
Anybody can be the chosen one
when you're a kid playing in sports.
Next up,
Swaggy L, stone cold,
Big Shot Q,
Sandy Cheeks, and the Sheriff.
Sandy Cheeks.
Swaggy L.
Swaggy L.
It's like an 80s rapper.
Sandy Cheeks.
That's weird.
The sheriff.
Big Shot Q.
Who do you think of Sandy?
cheeks in NBA right now.
When you look around the league and you identify everybody, you're like, damn, his cheeks are
sandy as a motherfucker.
Who comes to mind?
I don't know.
A lot of the popular themes are pretty like sandless when it comes to their cheeks.
Fair?
I've thought that same thing before.
Really?
Listen, I'm, I'm a touch you.
I don't think my cheek knowledge is up to date like that.
Yeah, I got you.
And you know Moses.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is a cheek man?
Yeah.
My cheek right arm is more crazy right now.
Skinny.
But.
Is Big Shot Q.
Quinn Grimes?
Big shot Q.
Stone cold.
Stone called Steve Austin, Austin, Austin Reeves, 316.
Hold on.
I think, is this the Lakers?
This is the Los Angeles Lakers.
Makes sense. Okay.
Yeah.
It is Quintrinds.
Why do they call him
Mahmuzzi, Chis?
Is this Mammu got to
delete this nickname from the database?
I saw one person say this on Reddit.
Swatty.
I love this.
Because one person said it.
Okay.
Actually, they called him Sandy.
I saw somebody call him Sandy.
I think I called them Sandy cheeks.
I think I've been that one out.
The sheriff.
But the sheriff is real nickname.
Stone Cold.
Someone made that up on Reddit because Austin.
And Swaggy L is a, I think it's a basketball reference.
Lou Gaddaja nickname.
I think I've seen that.
I've never heard anybody call him that.
And you never will.
Swaggy L.
Next up, Butter, the linebacker,
Santa, Bob, and Frankenstein.
Bob.
Just Bob.
Butter.
So the point guard is probably real, real smooth, real shifty.
Shea?
Shade butter?
Right, shay butter.
Linebacker.
Lou Dorby running over people.
Isaiah Hardinstein.
Yeah.
Frankenstein.
This is good writing.
Bob.
I don't know why.
Just Bob.
And then why Jaylon William's Santa.
I don't know.
Santa.
Also, are we committed to this being the Oklahoma City Thunder?
I think so.
Yeah.
This is the Thunder.
He is Bob because people call.
call him side show Bob the Simpsons
character
got you
okay so the full thing is side show bob
gotcha why is Jayne up Santa
I don't know maybe does Santa clear
his school I assume but
that's glazed
also I don't know that is that
are they saying that he has a belly
likes in there I don't know I can't imagine
it's that
he doesn't have a good
where'd you get that people call him J tubby or whatever
yeah they call J-tubs yeah because he put
all that weight to the power forward and he's
moving slow Thunderfans going J-Tubs
so
they're blowing
them
they're bullying
the fuck
also
Frankenstein is
mean as fuck
too
Fulner
I get it
they're playing
his last scene
but
yeah
I'm just in the
lap
he's put it
away for the
bedroom
of the team
where they're like
listen here
you fat ass
my
meanwhile
I've been
him a better
player
he was better

All right next
Big body
The warden
Barkley
The prince and special K
Big body
Barclay
Tori and Prince
The Prince
Is this
Could this be the Knicks
Of course it's the Knicks
But why is the warden
McHall Bridges
I'm a little G
Well earlier in his career
Or
Are they putting him at the 3
They're putting Josh Hart at the 2
But that doesn't make sense
Because I would assume
that Josh Hart is
Yeah, Josh Hart is some version of Barkley
Yeah, and then you call
McKell the Warden. What is McHale the Warden of?
I'm not sure, but he used to be
He used to be like in DPOI conversations
So I'm assuming that has to do with, you know, putting people in jail.
Okay, it was a year where he was third in DPOI.
Okay, that's so insane.
Third?
Fuck, man.
What were we doing?
Yeah, so we're going to get the New York Knicks here
And then Prince's OG.
You think Janet Brunton, they're calling him Big Body?
Yeah, they call him Big Body Brunson.

reasonable product
Yeah maybe it's me
I'm the problem
Fine God
So this is the Spurs
I'm just
This is the San Antonio Spurs
For sure
This is the San Antonio Spurs for sure
This is the San Antonio
And that's Devin Vassel
Yes
But why did they call him Vesaline
I don't know
Because it's just a play on his name.
V-A-S.
Okay.
Yeah.
They got Tobias on Kheris, paired up with Hector Banana Bread.
Victor went bananas.
I like to punish her for his Stefan Castle.
I think that's...

I was like
Okay

going to say.
I can't do it.
The translation
for Tame's last name.
Holy shit.
The translation for Tame's last
name is Tatoomu was closely
resembles a Chinese word for rabbit.

velvety Rex rabbit breed.

But slim is B.I.
I can understand being glitched

He's big.
There's a better connection
for Gryth and Whiskey
is what I'm saying.
So it's either German
or they actually are wide.
Well,
they're wide,
but they are not German.
Okay.
We got one down.
You got one down?
Mr.
50?
Mr. 50 is the best
giveaway here.
Besides,
I mean, Gertan whiskey

I think.
But Mr. 50 can give you
what you need.
Because Slims,
