but we're not going to do it with teams. We're not going to do it with organizations, anything of the sort. I'm going to name to you a random category, and we have to make the all-time starting five of that category. Okay. Players with dreadlocks. Okay, so is jobs?

John the point guy. Jarre drew holiday. Drew Holiday is a ring. Let's do Drew Holiday. I feel better. Well, I feel like we could put, I feel like we could do it out the two. Yeah, I feel like we could put Jot the one, drew at the two, and kind of fill out the back court. Or am I missing somebody?

Do you tell me him? I don't know. No. I don't think I'm missing anyone. So if those two are the back court, I'm good with that. Okay. Center. We want to go with that.

Beast, too. We need elite defense. All time, though. All time. Can we count Tim Duncan because he got him when he retired. No, no. I know. You want to put Jordan Hill in that, bitch?

What the hell? Just the first part you can think of it. Do you want to put Chris Copeland in that? Oh, my God. So we put Jeremy Lynn. Kenneth Reed. Oh, Jeremy Lynn. Put in Ney.

Neney had some good years. And Ney had great years. Kenneth Reed, that's a good years too, though. Yeah. Neney's better than him, though. Is he? No. I don't know about that.

That's nasty couples. Nasty. Oh. Jimmy Butler is small Ford. Oh, yeah. yeah yeah for the infamous media day we've yeah he he's had him on that's fake though he's had him on there he's had him on and it's a great job too to tv buddies making our list someone goes crazy man that's terrible so now we don't

respect wigs that's terrible long time uh we have thoughts uh i googled more names that had him and google some of his names well he should come out of with a bob yeah jimmy bell in next media day shows out in a bob wig do a young chris bosh oh young god bob's hilarious you young chris bosh the power ford yes we can put chris boss unless the ad you ever have dreads ad ad had braids i don't know if ad ever had dreads yeah he did have dreads yeah he did last year the lakers they have or were they braids i can't remember he had he had he had both i believe he had both he had dreads yeah he had dreads yeah They weren't long.

Oh, he had braids. I don't, yeah, I don't ever remember that. Actually? I don't know what do you know. Yeah. And guess what? He had dreads. Yep, he did.

See? Even if he did. Yes, I count. And guess what? Okay. Well, then it counts. You go Bosch and Power Forward, AD at center? On our team, you're going to play the 5AD.

I don't care what you're talking about. You're playing the 5 for us. Okay. So we got Bosch at the center. And we got 8. AD, I mean, Bosch of Power 4, AD at center. Yeah. This is kind of fire.

How many wins is this? This is the actual, this is an elite team. This is incredible. Minimum, the shooting is dicey, but the defense is hell. It's ridiculous. We're going to have the bench jaw at some point, but it's a good team. All right, next list we're going to do. Bald players.

Let's go the other way now. Perfect. Bald point guys. Who's a bald point guard? All time ball point guards. Did Magic ever go fully bald? No. I think he always had a little bit of hair.

No. Yeah, he was on the Doc Rivers. So is Jason Kidd the best ballpoint guard? Kid. Because Curry's obviously never went bald. Chris Paul don't count. Yeah, he don't count. Chris Paul is real close to bald.

But he's... But he wasn't good when he was close to bald. But he's holding off, though. So, yes, we can go Jason Kidd. Okay. We're not forgetting anybody? Like, obviously Nash and everyone involved. I'm trying to think of the all-time guys.

No. No, I think he... Okay, kid. A shooting guard. I think we go Derek White. this guy I was gonna go Alex Crusoe oh shit

you want up me I guess we can go Jordan I guess we can go to Jordan I guess we can go the gambler I guess so small forward the gambler the best bald

small forward did rip him what's it he's a rip him he's a two did pippet did pippin recall no no

hell not he didn't go out or over that nope he did not Larry Bird never went bald no Katie needs to but he won't Lebron

for a summer did never played a game though we could put Kobe at small Ford and just cheat okay Ray Allen when bald Ray Allen even Kobe no Kobe was bald as shit

Kobe went bald true I forgot let's put Kobe yeah we could do Shane baddie I'm sure we can Kobe is our center I mean our small forward we're gonna put it power forward

I'm thinking KG KG oh it has to be KG for sure it has to be Kevin Gardner Yeah, you could put Barkley and then KG at the 5. We got mad centers. We got Hall of Ball Centers. Take your pick of all the good ones. Yeah, okay.

Shaquille O'Neal, welcome to our center position. Or Jungle Cream. Let's suppose Shaq. I think he's been bald for a longer role playing. Yeah, and Shaq was like bald, bald. He embodied a little more, I think. Yeah, he won championships as the best part of his team while being bald as far. He has the best bald peak outside of Jordan.

Yeah. Okay. Now we got balds out of the way. Let's do the funniest players of all time Do you guys want to do the funniest players Or the best good players that are funny Probably the funniest players Okay

Funniest players Strike my memory All time lineup of funny players Okay At point guard Pat Bev is kind of up there Recent memory You're absolutely correct

But does he belong in like an all-timeless He's pretty like He's giving us some great moments He has. Okay, we'll go Pat Bebba point guard. Pat Bev is hilarious for whether you're laughing at him or with him. I do not know, but he is funny. Then obviously our big man group.

Yeah, he said Curry. These last five years were yours. The next five are mine. He is so dumb. He belongs there. Barclay and Shack. Go on power towards the center, obviously. Oh, yeah.

Who do we fill out in our wing groups? I think LeBron probably deserves a spot. LeBron's pretty funny. Is Kevin Durant funny? No. No. overall he can be he can be funny but he can be funny but maybe he doesn't have the most consistent track record of funny

is ron or test funny kind of depends on what type of funny like you're talking about not funny for real though I mean kind of but not really nah Blake griffin do we want to put Blake at the three it's kind of cheating yeah is it cheating a little bit I think we can give Ron a spot on our list the dad jokes he's a funny guy

it's a constant meme every single year that's something that we'll be able to use And it's pretty funny Oh, Ant's hilarious Yeah, I think just for representation Along with Pat Beb for the modern era Well, actually we got three guys For the modern era, never mind

Either way, and you're on our list Okay, it can be on the funny list Even if it's not accurate, he can be on there Nice Now let's do All Time starting line up of second Second round picks Yokets, the greatest of all time

Yep, obviously Yokch is on there Manu is one of a shooting guard Yeah Does Brunson deserve the point Gras spot already? Yeah Low key

No fucking Fredman-Vleet Like I guess it has to be Brunson I think it's Brunson Yeah Yeah let's go Brunson Who else to make conference finals Leading the team It probably has to be Brunson

Yeah we'll go Brunce at the point At the three Austin Reeves He was undrafted I'm just kidding I wish Oh yeah you're straight I don't know why I looped that together

In my head Where did you say Small forward and power forward Oh so Chris Chris Middleton. I forget about him. Chris Middleton. He was in the second round, yeah.

Important part of a championship team. Yeah. And then at the four, we have to argue between Dennis Rodman and Dremont Green. This team is nasty as fuck, man. This team is filthy. I'm going to – I'm going Dremont Green personally, between those two. Just because the offense is so much better.

Pick your poison, man. It don't matter. I don't care. Dremont and Yok is the most ridiculous big man passing of all time. Man. This team is walking to a championship. Yeah. They might sweep the NBA playoffs.

Jeez, this team is disgusting. It seems ridiculous. Okay. Now, next one, we are going to do, which one do next? European bucket getters. Ah. Manu, stay right there. So not just European players, but European buckets.

Okay. We're starting this list with one Luca Donchich. He's the captain. He has to be. The greatest European bucket of all time. That's fair. Second greatest? We got to go, Dirk and Yokic at the 4 and 5.

Yokish is for sure on there? Yes. Okay. Dirk and Yokich. See, you don't think of Yokic. as a bucket. Oh, trust I do. And then you, then you look up and he has 50.

Trust I do. Yeah, those two, undivided, deniably, three of the greatest buckets of all time are European bucket getters. Again, I will always advocate for,

for Manu. He doesn't have the stats necessarily to back the up. He's not European. Oh, he's from Argentina. Fuck. Which essentially can be counted as European.

He is European, but we're not going to count it for this, but I guess so. Those motherfuckers are European. Shoot. guard the small forward Drozhen Petrovich Oh

Okay is he the biggest bucket shooting guard Or small ford? I'm going to shoot at the two Droz and Petrovich Is he the biggest European bucket getter? At the two

Goren Drogich Petrovich I think is better than him He's a better shooter than him For sure Yeah Me Should he go

Yeah What are you thinking Yeah This guy doesn't meet the qualifications. What are you to say? I'll say Shea, but no. Certainly not European.

He's not European at all. Pesha. Page of three? Petych of three. Petrovich at the two. Okay. Decliff shrimp. Danilo Gallinari.

Did he dole Ghanari's a bucket? He was a bucket. He was a bucket on all levels. Yeah. I think all ball two post game. I think we could go Gallinari at the three. Hey, Gallinari played in league for so long. And like he was only there because he was a bucket gooder.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Because he couldn't move. He could have. Galanari and Drozan. Okay. Again, 100 win team.

They're winning a finals easily. They're playing no defense. We have them for their buckets. We don't need defense. We don't even like defense. No, Hito. Who's the best defender here, Drozzen? Ew.

Oh, wow. I guess so. Yeah. Okay, next up, next category. All-time NBA goons. Dremont, welcome to the crew. Jamon a goon? Yes.

Yes. He's just a bully, bro. Like, literally the other day, he was talking about how he was trying to get into the mind of Ryan Rawlins. Why are you trying to bully Ryan Rawlins? And he was like, you know, he earned his respect. He's a goon. He's always checking everybody for no reason.

But Robin's a bigger goon than Jeremy on Green. Robin is there's a powerful spot before he does? I think so. Okay. I think so. And then at the center, we can go either Rashid Wallace or Ben Wallace. No bill and beer. Original goon, true.

We got to pay respect to the white goons. Okay. You can have some diversity. But I'm not going to write off the Wallace's. I mean, if we're going to have, you know, you know what? DEI. Lambere. We got to give him something.

Otherwise I'll complain. Spout. What about that wrong, whatever. Small forward goon. Artis. Oh, yeah. No competition. No competition.

Do we go Gary Payton at the point guard? Yeah, why not? I think that's an easy one. But he's move over a talker. He's an all-time shit-talker. Yeah. Does I count? He could be on the short list, but...

There's not a lot of small goons out there. Jordan's not here punching teammates. Does I make him a go goon or does I make him an asshole? Yeah. It's kind of an ass. Okay. At the two, you want to go James Johnson? At the two?

I do not. I mean, he's... Put our test at the two. He is a goon. We need James Johnson on this list. He get hired specifically to be a security guard. He's a goon. He stayed in the league for his goonery.

Yeah, he was literally at the... At the last Bucks game, didn't even play. He's not a part of the team. Just sitting on the sideline. Is there Gooning? Yeah, literally. Okay. Point guard.

One spot left. Pat Beb would like his name to be on here. He's like a fake goon. Yeah, fake goon. There's always, there's always Gary Payton. There's not a lot of small goons these days at all. Yeah. I think like to be a goon, it comes from being big your whole life.

That's kind of like the intro to goonery. Most of small guys aren't really built like that. Yeah. I guess it would be, like, it would be Gary Payton. T.B3 is just like a... Hale nah. He's annoying. He's a dickhead.

He's not a goon. Yeah, he's just annoying as though. He's weaponized dickhead in a good, in a great way that leads itself of value, but it's not quite goon. It gives me go Gary Payton. He's always talking shit. Okay. Payton's a good pick here. Gary Payton for our goon team.

The greatest goons of all time. The greatest goons of all time. Next one. Ooh. The all-time swall team. Just muscles One through five Muscley guys

Desmond Bain You are here all the time He is there The only all time list you'll ever make Yeah I think Desmond Bain should be on here Does it be our small shooting guard He's small man

Yeah He got his hail David Robinson should be on here Is here our center okay Yeah we could put David Robinson here Moses Malone Extremely swole Who about Zion?

No I was thinking Janus Yeah so so the only reason why I didn't have like Zion or Shack on here, like you're just big Yeah, just girth. Okay. But okay. Oh, do you want to go David Robinson or do we want to go

Thurman? Nate Thurman's also He was a fucking unit. He looks like he was all Creighteen. I know they didn't have it back then. I mean, Dave Robinson was literally in the military. But he was, he was swole.

I don't know. Swole for Swole. Day Thurman is cuts. Yeah. He terms of muscle And he's bald That makes it better It makes him look more angular

But he was like 70s ball Where he had the He had the you know The cul de set It makes him look more small Yeah Pity the fool Go ahead

Give me knee thermic Can we go both Okay Let's put Nate at the center And we'll put David Robinson At power forward That's fine Yannis

Sorry Point guard and small Eric Bledso At the point guard Oh yeah That motherfucker was Jack small for small ford

who is our most jacked small forge we can also revisit doesn't be in if we want I think it's LeBron why not no no that

can get bigger LeBron's pretty jacked I don't know he is is about 2013 LeBron there's not a lot of dudes who are bigger

than him there's none do you want to say like PJ Tucker hell no For the jack list? Yeah, we can't. There's no other option.

I think this, listen, when he got his first game in Tilly, he was small forward. He was skinny as hell too. We're going, Braun. Braun has to be on our all-time jack starting five. You can't talk about muscles without LeBron. It would simply be unjust to the sport itself. It's too much glaze. Part of his identity.

Last one. Bad shooters. All-time lineup of bad shooters. MKD. MKD. but he's not no there's guys there's more shooters

no I'm going Ben Simmons at the one yes but how can you be called a bad shooter when you don't even do it though MKG actually shoots the ball Andre Robeson shot the ball

Andre Robeson should be at R2 he should yeah he should and I think we had to skew towards modern players because it matters more back in the day they had these players

that didn't shoot a lot yeah it didn't matter because that was the era so with that being said Jared Vanderbilt welcome to the small Ford small for power powerful

small the league we're options open sure fair jared vanderbilt he puts them up okay i'll give them that vando small ford power for it in center power forward yeah there a lot of guys don't shoot but like who's the most non-shooting non-shooter the one to like as soon as the shot goes up you know yeah i'll it's like damn i'm okay it sucks because like he he was taking these and he's gotten better but like janus would have been on this list. But now he is a midi.

I think for me at the five, I have this one memory engraved for me into me for the rest of my life. It's when Bismack Bianbo was on the Hornets and he shot up three. And then I think it was maybe Eric Collins a call. He was like, no. That's a good one. I think Gobert has to be the center. He's non-shooting ads.

The lack of skill there. Like, I feel like it has to be Colbert. Okay. But we can do BizRvonbo if you want. Something about Gobert screams. He needs the captain this. list to me. I've never seen him. He made one midi and we said, oh my God,

God's here. They're going to win the finals. Because he can't do, I think Gobert is on this list just because he looks so uncoordinated. Yeah. And it's like, Gobert. Mitchell Robinson also looks bad. Oh, he can't. Shit, man. He shoots like 23%

on the free throw. It's Mr. Robinson. Mr. Robinson is in a power forward. So you got Ben Simmons, Andre Robeson, Jared Vanderbilt, Mitchell Robinson, and Rudy Gobert. Good God. What does this team do? Defend.

Rebound and defend. Oh, you're not scoring them at all. Their defense would be filthy. Mm-hmm. Ooh, you got Ben Simmons and Jerry Vanipal five over screens. You're cooked. You're not scoring a single time. Ew, man.

You got Ben Simmons and Andre Robeson, too. Fuck. Hey, man, don't worry about that. Don't worry about the offense. We're here for defense. We're in hockey subs every time down the field. Another court. Got a defensive rating of 50.
