The NBA off-season is over for the most part.

We're entering training camps, entering pre-season. So it's only right that we send the off-season off rights. We are going to pick the winners and losers of the NBA summer. Okay. So we'll start with the winners. go over every person, team, concept, idea, whatever means to you, who won the summer? I will go first. The first winner of the summer is body shaming.

Simply put, elite athletes are the one group in America that you can look them in the face and say, you're fat, and they have to say, I guess you're right. They're not allowed to be upset about it. They have to get in the lab. They have to do push-ups. And it worked wonders this summer. Shout out to Luca and Dam near Zion. A little bit late.

Not damn near Zion. No, shout-a-on. He missed the bus. because he didn't start the to he just popped out like straightly this is me now no you know what that means he was moving in silence

yeah he was he was out there you know what that means you're not in the dark he went to the D.R he got that you can get G. you can get you up to anywhere now

you can go to Walker no no no he didn't get that he got what Drake got he got that procedure you know he went somewhere remote he got that picture of the guy putting his belly

against a fence and you're making a lot that's what baby well body shaming has worked and now loop us to be the MVP Zion's gonna be all NBA he was on the plane he was on a plane kneeling down

on the seat What the fuck He was kneeling backwards On the plane back Are they not gonna know that reference What the fuck You gotta look up on Google Type in BBL on a plane

See what happens when they come back Yeah body shaming has worked It's allowed It's encouraged It's almost like necessary or if you have a disappointing young star. Okay. Who's your first winner?

Okay. Me first winner? Man, I found out that Uncle Dennis is one of the greatest paper chases of all time. There's never been anybody, any NBA family member who's been peeping or chasing paper as hard as Uncle Dennis, man. That is a true. A massive one. There's a report today. He asked the Lakers for a percentage of ownership in the team.

Who the fuck are you, right? Jeannie bustling the kick rocks, bitch. Dude, are you dumb? Legitimate. If someone, if he asked me that, I would stop everything that I'm doing. And I would be like, yo, Kauai Linder. I'm asking you, check on your man's. Percentage of my organization?

That doesn't have an organization. Of the Lakers? Are you crazy? What are we talking about? You think you're Magic Johnson? The fuck, man. That's because everybody was hyping up Kauai for 2019 in the championship. They were talking about him.

He was literally running around like he's buck, asking for ownership of a generational franchise. I remind you. they probably wouldn't win a title I don't think it's worth giving up ownership of the leagueers who win a title Like a percentage of ownership

Brad there's only like Give them like 0.5% Fuck no Hell not Even then it's such a bad precedent Like it's just a crazy thing There's only one player in the NBA right now Maybe two actually

Players in NBA right now Who you'd actually consider giving them First off I don't even know If it's allowed That's the crazy thing It's definitely not It's definitely illegal too But if there's a there's two players

They're under investigation Right now Because they didn't tell them no You know Only one's good at is currying like LeBron for the Cavs. That's fucking it, bro. Either way, Uncle Dennis runs with an iron fist.

Paper chaser, bro. He runs the streets of L.A. For real, man. My first winner, Nicola Yolkidge's mental health. Dude, I wrote Nicola Yokic, parentheses, doesn't have to talk to MPJ.

I saw, I mean, listen, the podcast run that MPJ has been on, the sentences that have been uniquely stated. Dude, I said for my, my losers, I said podcast mics when they see MPJ They're running for a life man I saw I saw a tweet today

Where he was saying that he spends like $250 a day In Uber since he moved to New York Which honestly I can kind of understand for him Like if he's Uber and everywhere And he's probably taking like Uber blacks or whatever I can see it But somebody quote to him and they were like How did Denver get him to not talk about?

You know they had a unique program in place To get him to be quiet And you saw the Sean Marks You know what the program is? We got three Serbians who are breaking up. If you open your mouth, just constantly. Twice a week.

Sean Marks on the media day press conference to ask him on Michael Ford Jr.'s comments. And he was like, yeah, Michael just has to know the values you hold as an organization. Oh, my God. They're like, yeah, we're going to tell him to shut up pretty soon. Oh, my God. He had his summer of fun. Now he needs to fucking zip it. Oh, yeah.

Nicole Yokic, massive winner, non-aggress to speak this man on a consistent basis. Next winner. Jalen Brensen's knees. Tom Tiva is not there anymore to ruin his body. At that rate, that usage, he was going to be in a wheelchair by 34. Dude, now, his career real life extended by at least five years, bro. His mental health, too. Yeah.

Every 48-minute game was like a week of his lifespan off. He's at the retire three weeks earlier, every single time. He said, Jalen, please go save us. Go throw your shoulder in everybody's chest. Go jumpstop pivot 13 million times to get a shot off. We're going to make it easier for you. Yep, and now he's going to have to play it. The career and life of a nice, normal star player

that isn't treated like he's a machine. Life is good. 46 minutes a night, actually. Get rid of get nice and comfy. My next winner, Dynasties. It seems like Dynasties might be back up. The Thunder after winning a championship,

they said, hey, guess what? We did that. And Jalen Williams, his wrist was torn up. Chet Holmgren, his hip obviously was broken and we signed them to contracts and it's not the crazy, crazy supermax. They just got straight maxes. They have to reprove themselves.

It's not crazy deals. Once again, they are set up to go out and do it again. If dynasties are back up, the NBA, the feeling might be restored. Listen. And guess what, you guys are going to hate it if she is the face of the next dynasty in the NBA. Championships are back on the menu.

Multiple. Hell yeah. My next winner is a storyline of face of the league. We've been pushing certain guys to go ahead and be the face of the league. We talked about time and time me and Anthony Edwards don't. It does not want to be that. We don't want to give that to Jason Tatum.

But Wembe, yo, the storyline with him is undeniable. He's been going on like a speed run of just stories and building up his like lore to becoming the face of the league. So you think narratives. The next prince who's promises here, the next king of the league.

And the story behind it is perfectly set up. Okay. The only other winner I have, I didn't finish this thought. I just wrote Kaminga. And I don't know why I wrote Kaminga because something had to come after that because he's certainly not a winner. So what I'm going to say is I'm going to change it on the spot for my previous notes. Biggest winner, Kaminga haters.

Kaminga haters have been given fuel this summer saying, see, nobody wants them. Why would we pay him? Everything's gone poorly for Kaminga and talks. Why we pay him? I don't want to pay him. That is such a niche reference. I promise you nobody knows what you're talking about, but I do.

but yeah if you were somebody who did not believe in john de cammingo this has been a good summer for you hell yeah really haters of controversial players in general cam thomas didn't get his contract yeah dude zacklow so up yeah you can't say nothing because professionalism whatever winner but i'll say it for you are up you won that shit tell him tell him get your weak side roll get your weak side weeds on it just get passes on get your team defense on let me see you tag a roll man Cam Thomas. Man, okay. You have a winner?

I got a winner. And then it's like transition to a loser too. Winner. Trey Young, first time ever, well, one of the few times we went ahead and seen like

an NBA player versus I guess now at this point in time ex-NBA player beef between Trey and Patrick Beverly. As soon as that happened, Trey didn't even really get

no bars off for real. But when that did happen, just because everyone it hates Patrick Beverly, stomped him out. He killed him. Trey got bars off. The writing, excellent.

The delivery, not so much. I think we need to get in the lab of Trey. When you get him on the show and we need to, like, give him roasting advice. Because he has the ideas up here. His pen game is sick. But he's that type of rapper that has to write for other rappers because he doesn't quite have the delivery going. He's Quentin Miller. He's Quentin Miller.

He's, uh, who's one likes to rapper Connie? He's Rhapsody. He's like, no, not Rhapsie. Who am I thinking of Rhymefest? He's Ryan Fest. Yeah. Rhapses is the, yeah, no. But he has a pen.

He just needs to work on the delivery. Talk a little faster. Regardless, everybody hates you right now, Patrick Beverly. No one's on your side. Massive loser. I got you. I got you. My next winner, gaslighting.

Oh. I feel like I have been gaslit or people have attempted to gaslight me across different things. One, I feel like Janus and Shams have attempted to gaslight me into thinking that he is the most loyal man in the NBA. That is not true. Speak on it. I feel like Steve Balmer has tried to. gaslight me into thinking that that nothing fishy happened

I don't think that's true Steve bomber is moving like we're stupid he definitely is true you guys like we're dumb as fuck yes dude go ahead my bad no I just think like people are trying He's in a world of scambo he's in a world of gaslighters all by yourself you're all lying to me

yeah they're trying to I see through the facade Let me see how I can make it worse and you can cock some schemes Exactly I guess some shit I can convince them of or try to Yeah it's not it's not going to happen We can do that.

We do that often. Oh, y'all don't know if you don't watch Housecall. We're shaving his head at the charges in the Super Bowl. That is not true. Oh, yeah. That's not happening. He shot a gas like me about pretending we're not shaving his head. That's the crazy part.

It's going to happen. It's going to happen. Okay. Biggest loser, NBA agents. You guys got to know. Pablo is lurking. All those endorsement deals you guys have been doing that are fake, you better start making those Instagram posts.

He's looking around. They said Andrew Wiggins posted about her product for the first time. I think it was mac and cheese. He posted him on athlete mac and cheese the day after the collided him before a day of my life. He's like, I'm proud to be a sponsor of athlete cheese. They're moving with caution now.

And that's really all it takes. If you have any like, retweet, bookmark, anything. It can count as promotion. And that's all you need to do. Folks ain't no more free labor, bro. God damn. Look at this.

It says pasta. It says athlete pasta or something like that. What are we talking? I can't pull it up. Sports. It says sport pasta. What the fuck do we be selling, man? No, no, we're money laundering.

This came out the day after the aspiration stuff. Wiggins agent said, make that post right now. Pablo's coming. He's like, Omar. Yeah, every NBA agent is moving different. Oh, my gosh. Sports pasta What the fucking crazy?

What are we been talking about? What is that even mean? It's a spasta with like athletes on the cover. And they thought folks was going to buy this? Oh, they're going bankrupt soon. No, they don't think this is a fake product. This doesn't exist. Pablo, we need to have a conversation.

We might have another breakthrough. I've never seen sports pasta. Let me see if I can buy this right now. Let's look at sports. Do you think anybody would care? If he came out, like, Andrew Wiggins was paid on the side for the Miami Heat. Like, that's, that's the, that's the most random player I can think of. I'm Googling sports pasta.

Okay, I see on. Did I say pasta abilities? Yeah, this is a random app called, or Vita Coast, Vita cost. I'm looking at a sports pasta. I just type you in and click shopping. Dude, where is this pasta? I found it. I found it.

They're real, but they're only on this site called, oh. So it's not real. Vita cost and quench U.S. That sounds like the fakes words I've ever heard. Let me look at the macros. Oh, there it is, there it is. Okay, they got 18 grams of protein.

Oh, I see. Oh, I see. Quench hydration. Quench with the sea? Oh, you're so stupid. Oh. I hate you so much. I wonder, okay, I wonder who manufactures this.

Yeah, what's the macros on this? The macros are, they're decent. This is hilarious. This shit does not exist. It says, okay, okay, okay. Should I buy some of this? Just a live test? Trying to waste money.

18 grams of protein, 60 grams of carbs. Okay. 300 calories from 1.4 of the pack. So it's not low calories. It's not healthy. 1,200 calories to the whole thing. Damn. It's just spaghetti.

It's just noodles. It's just spaghetti. Literally, like, there's no difference between this. Sport. It's spaghetti, but they put athletes on the front. Unidentifiable athletes. Okay. Sorry to blow up your spot, Angie Wiggins.

We didn't do that. Pablo did that. Oh, no, I did that. he probably didn't mention sports Oh true Who's the next loser All right The next loser is

Bucket Gitters Worldwide Small Guard bucket getters too Your talents are not being valued In the NBA We saw people have to attach assets To Colin Sexton To get off of his deal To bring back use of Nurchage

Tom Cam Thomas had to take the qualifying offer Zach Levine has to play in Sacramento Because nobody wants him If you are and he's not even a small guard, but if you are a guard and your favorite pastime

is getting buckets, I'm sorry, your days in the NBA are very limited, they're very numbered, and people don't value you the way that you might see yourself. And I know that that can be

a hard transition because your entire life. Everyone's told you, yo, he's nice, he gets buckets. And then you get to this place and they say, buckets,

we don't care about that. Get in the stance. Now I got to play defense. Now I got to pass the ball. Shut up. Now I have to have high basketball IQ, now I have to contribute. to winning, bro, I'm just trying to get my game off, get a nice IG picture and go out to

dinner at night. That's all I want to do. And you're messing up the vibe. I really do feel bad for them. And they are one of the major losers of the NBA all season. Unbelievable. It's tough. Pull one out.

Stuff out here. Mo, who's your next loser? Shit. You say all that. But there's one guy who stands alone and who can be the glorified bucket for this year. And he's a major. Oh, he's not even a loser for him. He's a major winner, actually, because he can do this.

with no expectations. Jalen Brown. No one gives a flying fuck about the Celtics. No one expects them to win 50 games, 45 games or none of that. He can go ahead and go home, get his 27 points, 26 points a game.

And no one's going to be like, hey, bro, why didn't you go ahead and he did it? Nope, none of that. Best players hurt. Team is depleted. Drew Holiday's no longer there. Get your buckets. Go home.

I'm sorry. I'm still thinking about sports pasta. That's ridiculous. Sports pot is ridiculous. Okay. Next loser. Pelicans fans. Joe Dumars is in your life now

You're fucked dude Shout out Zion for getting skinny Shout out Herb Jones for getting healthy Shout out Trey Murphy for making the next leap to an elite role player Joe Dumars is above it all You are profoundly fucked No dude someone who's even more fucked There's definitely the Phoenix Suns fans

They still have Matt Isbba there And they're losers specifically Matt is a loser because he has zero accountability He will not go ahead and admit That an instance or the experience that he ran Was terrible bro He's always going to try to find Gaslight his way

into telling you, this is what we really wanted. The whole plan, what's to go ahead and get KD so we can trade him away and target him for Dylan Brooks. Those are real words that came out of his mouth. I'm not lying to you, bro. You wrote Suns fans, I just wrote Devin Booker. That was my next loser. He's the saddest millionaire in the world.

Oh. Over the last four years, every offseason, he's been a loser. Like, he's been one of the losers of the office. Think about it. In 2021, they made the finals. And since then, they have depleted that roster time and time again. They went and got Kevin Durant traded so much

for it. And even when you thought that it was going to work between him and K.D. Then they traded Kevin Durant away. And now we're here with him, with a big three of Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dylan Brooks. And last

loser I have. Kevin Durant once again playing without a point guard. This man cannot find a team that has passers. Why does he have to be the point for it everywhere he goes? It's unfortunate. I don't know. It's a damning situation. man he just he just cursed like i guess damn he really is cursed he played he's paying a great

carmic debt for the warriors for the warriors era and how much he pissed everybody off and how much he's like enraged the fans that hate him for it on purpose which more power to them they're annoying hey man carmic debt is here the basketball gods do not lie like you shouldn't have fucked with our good old glorious sport shouldn't have fucked with one of the greatest rivalries of all time the state of oklahoma hext them

the population of oklahoma they got him and can't be mad at it too At least I'm not I'd hex him too I don't want any injuries though I'm mad that happened I'm mad that happened that fucked us He's not willing to stand on the hex

That's crazy Not when he comes to players I wanted to that I just wanted to play with no point guards Yeah
