All right, y'all.
We are once again in the deadest part of the NBA offseason.
Football just started.
No one gives a damn about the NBA, but we're here for content.
And today, since there's nothing to talk about, we're throwing it back.
We're going to talk about every NBA team in the league.
That's crazy.
Sorry.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We're going to talk about every NBA team and who their franchise goat is.
We're going to have the debates.
Who is the best player in this team's history?
Definitively, it's going to be a combination of who's the game.
best player who accomplished the most, who has the best vibes, the most influence, all of it.
Today we're going to start off by doing the Western Conference. Next week's going to be the Eastern.
So the title says every player. Give us two weeks and we'll get there.
Oh, man. This is going to be a very interesting episode because there's tons of highs,
but the lowest of the lows are the lowest things ever.
Yeah, there's going to be some nasty debates. It's going to be gross.
I love it, but I can't wait. I cannot wait.
This is what we live for, moments like this.
We're on the same wavelength.

And yeah man
Let's get into these list
Let the mid begin
Who's the first team up
Who is the greatest player
In the Phoenix Sun's history
I can't believe
I have to say this, but is it Steve Nash? It feels so wrong saying that. I don't think it's
Steve Nash. I don't. What do you think it is? I think it's Charles Barkley. I think,
I think Charles Barkley also got an MVP. Steve Nash has two MVPs. One of them was fraudulent, right?
I don't care who you give it to. You can give it to Kobe. You can give it to Shaq. You can give it to
whoever. It just can't go to Steve Nash. And so I will live my life thinking that Steve Nash only
has one MVP so in my mind him and chuck are tied and charles parkly took that franchise to
a finals and stevenash never did that i think when i look at the seven second or less sons
that entire era is very like revolutionary because of the way that they play basketball
but as a team that period of sun's basketball is very disappointing they were they were never
able to get over the hump they were never able to go and get and get to the finals he needs to
even though that Charles Barkley never won a championship,
he was,
you know,
up until Devin Booker and Chris Paul,
he was the only one who took him there.
So I'm going to give him that credit.
I don't think that franchise has like a lot to like to work with.
And the winning on his side is going to be the tiebreaker for me.
I think one for four years.
Yeah, that's true.
Four years is not a long time.
We're talking about the Phoenix Suns.
This is not some storied franchise.
one of the original eight they're they're cool they're playing like the mountain time zone which
everybody forgets about it again what success do this does like the sun franchise have
what's the standard that we're looking at and it's really just between these two people so
I'm going to take the guy who took them to a finals I mean Devin Booker took him to a finals
like if that's the deciding factor like he's the same resume as Charles Barkley without an
MVP yeah yeah true true I mean that's safe same resume
I feel like we have to go Steve Nash
I feel like I'm leaning more towards Mo Side
I know we like to crap on that second MVP
The whole NBA world doesn't respect it
I live in reality
He has two MVPs
He played there almost twice as long
I get
This is not
He has one
His one
He almost doubles up his all-star appearances
He doubles up his MVP's
I don't think the finals run alone
Can sway me when
Charles' best years weren't there
I just feel like it's, like at that point is KD, the greatest net?
Yeah, exactly.
That's what we have to talk about.
If we're, yeah, exactly, we can't be up here and say Katie is the greatest net or
LeBron is the greatest Laker or the greatest Nike or that's not, that's not, like, we just
can't talk about that because that's disrespectful to the history.
Then again, there's no Kobe on the suns.
How are those comparisons even like people?
Yeah, there's no Kobe on the sons.
no no but even like lebrons like charles barclay won an MVP while playing for the sons
Kevin durant never did never won an MVP playing for the nets they never made it they never made
the finals lebron lebron lebron has the most he has the biggest argument out of that entire conversation
because he won a championship but he never won he like his clear best years weren't with the lakers
you can make an argument that charles barclay's best year of his
career best years with with uh best years of his career are with the sons because of that MVP and
I just don't think that that's the same for the other two yeah I just can't get past the four years
thing it's hard for me to call somebody a franchise goat when they were there for such a small
amount of time you know yeah like that's I feel like longevity matters a lot when talking about
the best player in a franchise of the history there's two errors though that we talk about with that
entire team and it's it's Steve Nash's and it's charles barkley and again when you look back
at that like that entire era of the NBA on is really defined by this like dead ball era everybody
scoring 69 points in a finals game like nobody's nobody's able to score nasty it's it's really
really nasty basketball and now you come with this truly revolutionary style and this back-to-back
MVP and somebody who's playing basketball the way that they the way they were playing it in
2023 they're literally 15 years ahead of everybody ahead of them and they're not able to get
to a finals and so for me when I look at that it's like you really really underperformed because
you're playing not only like you're you're playing with the math on your side and nobody else
was even thinking to play like that and we've seen the evolution of the game we've seen how it's
made teams better we've seen how how it's made offense is better and so are you discrediting that
Are you discrediting Nash for that?
The whole team.
I think the whole team in that whole era has to, like you have to give them their credit because of the stuff that they pioneered.
But when it comes to winning and results and how we look back at that, the ultimate goal of the game is to win championships.
And you guys didn't do that.
And they were always losing to teams like you lost to a Dirk who didn't, we've talked before.
Dirk didn't have like, you know, Hall of Fame teams around him.
and then you lost to the spurs
and like I'll give you that
but they were they were very clear moments
where they could have gotten your death
well that's a great two-time MVP
five-time assist champ in seven years
that's a great tangent that you went on
Donovan but guess what
you're out voided
the story of his life
last two podcasts
you know Donovan great points
don't care
when I go silent for 15 minutes
you guys know why
you're a little bit disassociate
No, I get it
Charles is
If you want to say Charles
Is overall the better player
Like just peak for peak
I understand
But I think we have a habit
Of underrating Nash
Over the past few years
Because the narrative is like
Oh, he stole Kobe's MVP
He was still like
It's not like he had a bad season
They didn't give it to a scrub
You know
He was still one of the best
Offensive players in the league
Five-time assist champion
In the eight years he was with them
Truly one of the best playmakers
Of all time
Hyper-efficient shooter
was very similar to the way we talk about Chris Paul
where he can be the engine of an offense
without necessarily being the biggest scoring threat
that applies to Nash as well
everyone always said that he should have shot more
because he was that good of a score
and that was his biggest knock
because he wasn't aggressive enough
yet he was still driving offense at the highest level
I don't think that simply
making it to a finals
if Chuck would have won
sure I'd understood it
but just making it doesn't outweigh that longevity
plus the second MVP for me
so again it's not like
it's a powerhouse thing with Nash, but I think it has to be in just a little bit.
How many times did they make the conference final?
Let me look this up.
How many times do they make the conference finals in that, in that span?
Because, you know, like, if it's, if it's something substantial, then I can, I can kind of see it if you're, like, legitimately having consistent success.
They made the conference finals in 04 and 05 and then losing the semis and, okay, so there's about, it's like, it's like, it's,
kind of split in that like four year run where they were at their peak and you have
Dan Tony as their coach two years in the conference finals semi's first round and then things
kind of they they go yeah they go in a different direction so yeah I mean I guess here's a question
before we get to the rest of these teams okay we're going Nash here we'll get off this team to
move on to the next one how much are we valuing individual production versus winning with the franchise
I think you have to do a little bit of both I think the best the most fruitful way will have
this conversation is having, or valuing both of these things equally, you know, we can't lean
too much heavily on one side.
Now, trust me, with that being said, though, like, there are, like, certain, there are certain
teams where you kind of have to, because things are just that bleak.
But for the most part, I think, like, most NBA teams, we can have a pretty balanced argument
between both.
Yeah.
I think, I think we're really just, it really just depends on the standard that the franchise is
set.
So, like, when we, so, like, when we get to teams, like, the South.
politics in the Lakers and they have the most rings in the league, winning is going to matter a lot because
everybody in that franchise history has won. True. But if we're talking about like the Minnesota Timberwolves
and they, you know, they throw a parade for a playing a playing game, then, hey, if you had two
good seasons, like Jimmy Butler, hey, listen, man, you might be top five. Jimmy Butler is on like
the all-time Timberwolves team in 2K. Like that's how, that's how bad that they're
that's hilarious. That's fucking hilarious. Okay, before we move on from the Suns,
We're going Nashville and Barclay 2.
Are we putting,
low-key, is Devin Booker 3?
Think about that.
He was, was he like,
he was top five in MVP ballot,
like two years ago, right?
Or was that last season?
I think that was last season.
He was.
It was the year that was the year
that he made the finals.
God, that's crazy.
And he's the best shooting guard in the NBA.
How many players that play for that team
have been the best player at their position?
That is true.
I think he might.
Which maybe it's just because shooting guards
weak right now
and Hardin fell off.
because of injuries so maybe it's
maybe it's not as impressive
as like being the best point guard right now would be
but it's early because Devin Booker's only been
elite for a few years but I think
it's pretty easy to say when he finishes his career
he'll probably be third I mean he really hasn't he's been
in the league for almost a decade now
yeah it's like year seven but he's only been elite
for like three or four years you know it took him a little bit
to get there yeah so this so what it's a three
year run for Devin Booker
um I'm comfortable with saying that
seeing with the way he evolved his
game tremendously in literally every aspect and building upon like, you know, being an elite
shooter, growing from that, doing stuff off the ball, of course, having more responsibilities,
staying ten toes down while your fucking organization surrounds you with Dragon Bender and
the corpse of Jared Dudley.
Dragon Bender.
So it's like Marquis, Chris.
Who would be fair besides him?
Fucking Dan Marley?
Like, who's the competition?
Who is that?
That sounds like a character from Bob's Burger.
I don't know who that is.
Dan Marley played there in the early 90s
I don't know who that is bro
Yeah let's deep look you got it
Nice
Let's move on
We always have a habit of spending a ton of time
On the first few teams
And then slowly try to speed up as we go
To make up for it
But the Sons are one of the better debates
Because that's a
It's a good stylistic debate there
And what you value
Because I think when you're new
All-time rankings
Barkley's higher
But it's because of stuff he did
Outside of those four years of the Sons
So it's tricky
Yeah
let's go to the next team
what about the Sacramento Kings
who is the Sacramento Kings goat
you have to go
pre-MBA merger for this
exactly but it's Oscar Robertson
yeah
yeah like that's
okay I think but if we
if we want to go
post post merger
kind of like modern kings
type stuff
what are we thinking
like Chris Weber
oh my god that's so bleak
is that where we're at
Is that where we're at with the Kings?
Tiny Knit Ultra Archibald.
They spent almost 20 years outside of the playoffs.
There's been nobody on that.
We will see you soon.
Who was on the Kings in the 80s?
I don't even know a single Kings player from the 80s.
This franchise is awful.
I don't know.
I can't think of a single Kings team from the 80s.
This is baffling.
What do we?
What?
Dude, who?
I got to live.
look this up. How were they still in Sacramento?
How is that team, bro? How's that team not moved?
Them fans are deep. They had Mitch Richmond.
True. Chris Weber is obviously up there.
So, okay, so the answers as Oscar Robertson. So that's clearly
number one. Well, now we're just trying to see who else they have in the conversation
because this is crazy. Who is on the team in the 80s? I'm going crazy trying to think
of somebody. I have no idea. Bro, D. Aaron Fox might be 3 is what you're telling me right now.
God no
I guess Mitch
Richmond's three
I mean
Or Nate Archibald
If we're gonna continue
It pre-merger stuff
So what are we doing
So well
Are we gonna go
Okay so we'll go
Oscar Robertson at one
And then just
The entire starting fire
From the 2000s king
Vladit Demock number three
Yeah
We can put him there
Then Deeran and de Manis
And then we're throwing
somebody else
Gross
Yeah and look at this list
The kill pulled up
Chris Weber to
Mitch Richmond three
That's what I said
That's probably realistically what it is
Is that one of the weakest top threes in NBA history
Like obviously Big O is Big O
Top 20 player at all time
We have not recent Los Angeles Clippers yet, bro
Bro
The Clippers at least have
CP3 Kauai and PG
PG Claremont
Richmond
Bro
Listen
As a clip
If you have Oscar Robertson
If you have a player
That's like top 20 all time
You can't be the weakest
Yeah
They're up there though
There's, I, I, when we do our episode next week, next week's episode is going to have
the weakest top, top five, top three that, that we talk about.
It's the kings, listen, the kings are fighting, right?
They're making a good push.
They have a case.
They do, but they're not the worst.
Okay.
Well, let's move on from the Kings.
That one's easy.
Oscar Robertson.
Some of these are going to be easy to fly through.
Next one I have written down, not going to be an easy one.
The Los Angeles Lakers.
Who is the greatest Laker of all time?
No, that's, that's the, there's like two answers that you can have and you miss both of them.
I miss both of them.
You're, you know what?
You're actually right because I have to factor in his totality with the organization.
And you do have to say, you throw Kobe in there.
You have to throw in magic in there.
And I, and I agree with you on that.
That's a bad tracking.
Yeah, that's a debate.
Are you going, are you going magic for what he did in the 80s, showtime?
the one of the greatest teams of all time
the peak is insane
or Kobe
longevity two championship windows
you can't really argue
he's a better player than magic
it would mostly just be influence
length of time
and the fact that he did it
with two different eras
which way are you guys leaning
I'm leaning Kobe
okay so
everybody says this now
that he's the greatest Laker
is he actually
I felt that I felt that way
prior to his death
I think for him
I think like when you are talking
about a franchise and it's like the fact that he had two championship windows is what I think
puts him over the edge and magic just and magic like low kick almost had that because he gets like
they get to the finals in 91 but the fact that that would have been very similar if he would
have pulled it off yeah but the fact that they that they're able to get that three Pete go through
that whole you know three year run with shack's not there he still has amazing years and then they
come back and you see like this evolution to Kobe and they still get two more rings after that
that's ups and downs in a franchise
and with an entire generation or two of fans.
And so that's why I give COVID the knot.
Yeah, and it's also that he went back to back the second time.
Like winning back to back championships
as difficult as is, a lot of great teams can't do it.
The fact that he did that twice
with very different teams and very different stages of his career,
that's the best argument.
But then again, Magic matches the level of success.
Just because he did it in a shorter amount of time
doesn't mean it's less impressive.
Yeah.
We all agree he's the better player all time.
Most people don't rank Kobe,
but head of magic,
at least people that are aligned to a consensus.
Obviously, some people were like Kobe's number three.
The majority people don't do that.
And none of us did that in our rankings episode.
So if we all agree that Magic's the better player,
Magic had the same success,
clearly has the higher peak.
But why does...
There's things, I'll tell you why.
There's things outside of basketball,
which is, like you said earlier,
influence that just matters
and the way you make fans feel
for a certain amount of time
just fucking matters bro
through the trenches through the mud
the highs the lows
and the whole not just fucking matters bro
you know I agree with you but
man last when we did all time rankings
we're talking about Steph Curry does he have a run
to opportunity to be the greatest point guard of all time
Donovan not a Lakers fan said
but he's not the magic man
clearly this guy is fucking influence
and make me feel a way too.
He's not magic.
I love magic.
I'm a big,
I'm a big magic guy.
I,
but like,
and even though that magic did come in at like 20,
Kobe,
Kobe got there as a teenager.
And I think the fact,
and it's a two year difference,
but I think the fact that they saw him
from 18 to 38 and legitimately saw him,
like,
grow up there for 20 years and like have a family
and do all this stuff,
I think that they feel,
a, you know, a certain type of attachment to them that you don't get.
We're also not rating the fan favorite goat.
You know what I mean?
It's not just like the most popular player.
I mean, to be honest, this, that's a part of the conversation too.
It genuinely is.
It is.
It is.
I hate to say that.
I don't think it should be for this conversation.
I don't think it should be either, but.
No, I, I, universally it is.
I think it should, though.
I think, I think, I think a lot of times there will be correlation.
so a lot of times there will be a reason why
but I think this specifically is one where
that's not necessarily aligned with the reasons
that we should be picking a goat, you know what I mean?
This is an outlier situation.
But if you have two guys...
Yeah, Kobe's definitely an outlier.
If you have two guys who are in the top 10 all time
for a lot of people, the margins are razor, razor thin
and we're talking about a specific franchise.
So that's why I think it's okay.
Like if we were doing, if this was our top,
you know, our top 30, top 50, all-time
rankings, then yeah, like the fan favorite stuff
shouldn't matter. But we're talking about
the Lakers, so the fans do matter here.
Okay. Okay.
I guess this is the only, this is the only
one of these arguments where fan
favorites fucking matters. We're never going to see this pop up
again, so I guess it's fine. No, we probably
want to. We probably
will. It won't be as sticky
of a conversation, but we will.
This is definitely the instance where it matters the most
because it's Kobe and he's the most
top three most famous player of all time,
most loved player in a franchise of history,
probably.
Easily.
I don't know.
So,
Mo,
are you still going
magic or are you swayed?
I think I'm swayed
by the influence
of Kobe for sure.
All right.
I guess I ruin Kobe Bryant.
I'm alone
on the Magic Hill,
which I don't even know
if I really am going magic,
but I feel inclined to.
I feel like all the reasons
for Kobe are not basketball
for the reason to give above magic.
So I feel like I should say magic objectively.
But I get it.
You can't go wrong.
Picking Kobe's a franchise
fucking Kobe.
Question for you,
as our.
resident Lakers fan.
Did you feel a certain type of way about magic post-GM stint?
I felt like, how do I, how do I say this politely and accurately?
I wasn't that upset because I felt like he did exactly what you probably thought he would do.
It was just a guy who like didn't know what the fuck he was doing and was up there for vibes.
And the Lakers have a bad habit of just like, I do not say the Lakers.
Jeannie Bus has a bad habit
of hiring her friends
and people she knows
outside of the court
and just being like
hey come run my team
and that's what that hire was
it was purely
purely I think you're a really cool guy
who I've known forever
come run my team
so nobody should have expected
to go well
he has no experience doing this
didn't know a damn thing
really really he was there
to recruit LeBron
which he did well
so great success
but everything else was
exactly what it should have been
I think for Magic Johnson
running a team
it was just like
I want to say, like, giving a kid a keys to the franchise, but that's not...
It was cataclysmic.
One of the most cataclysmic runs by a fucking gym or whatever you want to call him at that
time, ever point blank.
Yes, yes, yes, he got LeBron.
It was terrible.
He got LeBron, but, like, LeBron wanted to go there.
Like, he was in Cleveland for four years, so it's like...
He almost fucking, he almost ruined it.
If it was up to him, he would have ruined having LeBron.
He would have wasted it.
He was so bad that everybody thought Rob Polenko was a woman.
worst GM in the world and then soon after that
he just put on like a pretty good
four years outside of the Russ of Westbrook trade
which LeBron Forrest but he
was so bad he almost ruined Rob Polink's career
before it started.
That's pretty bad.
Terrible. Okay.
But do I have ill will towards him now? Make me
like him less? No, I don't give a fuck. Yeah.
They won. If the Lakers didn't win though, oh
trust me. If the Lakers did not win a championship
and it had parts
to do with the ashes and reminences that he left behind
when he just like left abruptly bro
oh yeah it's it's raps
you're hey you're feeling some type of way
it would even fucking for life
yeah
if you remember
with the lakers
and it never worked out
it would have been fucking for life
oh yeah facts exactly
those five championships
don't move me
get out of here
it'll be better
bird better
came back
just a haunt your franchise
next up
next up we're going to flip
to the other side
of the locker room
who is the goat
of the Los Angeles Clippers
who
stinkers
they don't have
have one.
They don't have one.
All right.
So the names that are thrown up onto the board,
Luke Walton,
all this shit.
Chris Paul.
Bill,
he moved it.
Oh, Bill Wong,
my bad.
Yeah,
Bill one,
oldest shit.
Chris Paul.
He moved mountains,
if you ask me.
You have Kauai.
Some way all folks want to say PG,
man.
You can't go Kauai.
And then Blake Griffin,
you have to throw up Blake Griffin.
Elton Brand?
Is it Elton Brand?
Is it Elton Brand?
Donnas Haslo?
He has.
He has to be up there.
He's up there.
It's disgusting.
Honestly, you said Luke Walton.
Luke played there for one season and had 10 points per game.
Wait, Luke did?
I mean, Bill Walton.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
He's just like one of the greatest players or one of the greatest.
Oh, never mind.
He played for four years.
It was there was San Diego.
That's what threw me off.
Yeah, but he was still old.
That was like, he was not in his prime whatsoever.
Yeah, his best season, he average 14 points per game in 33 games.
Yeah.
Okay, so it's not Bill Walton.
it's not quiet Leonard he hasn't played there long enough it's been nothing but
disappointment outside it's not his fault but it's been nothing but failure it's not elton brand
because he's fucking elton brand he was good though he was underrated at that era counterpoint
counterpoint though he's elton brand okay keep going i don't know what you mean by that
could be good keep going bro he's elton brand like let him go and i i think that's because of
the era that he played in and also like the team that he was a part of this extreme
extremely mid ass if you ask me and then you have KG, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, all them boys.
You just bound to be overshadowed, bro.
Plus, you're the clippers?
So it's like, you think people are going to take you seriously?
They're not.
So is it Kauai Leonard?
I'm not Kauai.
Is it Chris Paul?
It's CP3 to me, man.
In my mind, he, similar to what you said, like, about Steve Nass.
I think Chris Paul helped solidify Lobb City and he was the starter and the finisher
of that entire clipper culture he went ahead and beat the defending champs uh what was i forget
what year was it um but he went ahead and beat the defending chaps in what a game seven series um although
like spurs yeah he beat the spurs yeah i think it was 2015 they won in 2014 so it's 2015 yeah and
like you know although like it just he just ended up in a bunch of disappointment too that's just
the clipper's history it is what it is that's what it comes with when you wear that jersey across
your body bro but
for his time
and what he did he moved mountains
we forgot one player
Bob Mcadoo when they're in Buffalo
he averaged 34 points
per game in 1975
I can't believe I forgot him
I'm still sick in CP though
I'm so happy you did that
Bob McAdoo
for audio listeners
we hit our patented salute
for any time there's an old player
I love that salute.
It's so great.
That means respect to you.
You did your shit in your day.
But we do not care.
Yeah, Bob McAdoo, he...
Yeah, listen, we can give it to Bob.
Bro, give it a CP.
Do you have to?
No, give it a CP3.
For what?
Okay, so...
They never made a conference finals.
I'm not familiar with what Bob McAdoo did in those years.
I don't know.
Did you make a finals?
Did he win one?
I don't even know.
Please, no one do Bob McAdoo.
history please lord no can we bring up can we bring up their franchise in three straight
scoring champs does that move you that does in what years 74 through 76 three straight
scoring champs that's impressive i'm bringing up the the franchise if they if they made a conference
finals they never did they never did they lost them the conference semis in three straight years
Listen, I guess that's the tiebreaker.
Like, really, listen, everybody just loses in the second round
if you're part of that franchise.
So if you do something good individually, you get the nod.
So Bob McAdoo, congratulations.
Hold on.
Bob McHugh never made a conference finals.
Chris Paul never made a conference finals.
You know who has?
Paul George.
Stop it.
The side of the backboard, man.
I love him so much, but God, no.
He single head.
Without Quiet Leonard, he made their only conference finals.
You're right.
That is true.
True. He did it by himself. Yeah, he did it by himself for sure. I'm not doing that, though. I'm not doing that. Yeah, we can't do that. Does that mean Paul George has to be higher than Kauai Leonard? That sucks so much. Low key. But yes. They've been in for the same about a time. Locke. In a similar caliber of a player, one has the playoff run by himself went deep. One has never had a healthy playoff run. Yeah. And the second that is Paul George three. The second that Colp. PG went down. Kawhi went ahead and tried to carry a load. His knee exploded. Combusted, bro.
And he couldn't do anything, so it's like...
Exploded.
That's such a visceral language.
So it's like, all right, man.
We'll move on.
Bob McAdoe, congratulations.
We're going to start moving faster.
We're 30 minutes in.
We've got you 14.
We're having too much fun, God.
The Denver Nuggets.
Nicole Yolkich.
He has...
Are we going to...
He solidified it this summer.
Donovan, yeah, I was going to say, as the...
Is the resident Carmelo Anthony Stan,
that boy, nice guy.
Are you going to give an argument for Camelo?
Or is it Yokish?
No, it's Yokish.
I can't, I can't in good faith
participate in that argument.
You cannot.
I can't.
I thought you would have anyways,
but you cannot.
Yeah, man.
It's obvious.
He's going to be a top 20 player of all time
unless fucking calamity happens
and his career just falls apart.
One of the most impressive finals runs of all time,
got them to ring,
is one of the most talented big men of all time.
I don't see any reason you could pick him.
I'd pick David Thompson before I pick Carmelo.
No.
Okay. Now the stand is about to come out.
You know what I'm saying? Let's relax here.
Let's do it. David Thompson versus Camelo Anthony debate. Let's get the shit popping.
Let's move on.
What's next?
That's an easy one. We can move on.
The Dallas Mavericks. Another easy one.
We're going to go, Dirk.
Dirk Newitzky, but he will be probably surpassed by the end of Luca Dantz's career.
I do not believe so.
I was going to say, well, okay, so let's talk about this for a second.
Luca has to win a championship to surpass Dirk
because Dirk has a longevity and he has the
not just a championship, an incredibly impressive one.
Would one regular championship,
let's say it's not one of the greatest runs of all time,
but it's a championship and the sustained 15 years of excellence
we can expect from Luca.
In that world, would that make you put him above Dirk?
He has to be there.
Dirk played there for 1920.
20, Luca has to be there for like 15 minimum.
Is he going to play that long?
It's hard to predict these days.
Yeah, I don't know how long to just want to fucking play basketball because I don't know.
He's not yoga.
He doesn't have horses to attend to.
I mean, but sometimes it looks like he's not having fun out there.
But I mean, like he's been doing this for so long.
And so I don't know.
I feel like he's just one of those players where I don't imagine him like wanting to have an OD long career.
And I feel like I saw some quote out there.
Yeah, I feel like I saw some quote out there.
there about him not wanting to or not not being as encouraged to play for hell along like
lebron and whatnot um but i i i just i kind of disagree with you donovan i feel like with the
caliber of player that lucid don just has been dirk was nice fucking fantastic but i'm not sure if
he's reached feats that luca has and had has had as many iconic moments in such a short amount of time
I won't say that
Oh sure amount time
That's where okay
That's where you save yourself
Yeah
Because he's pacing
Because of sure amount time
To he's pacing better than dirt did
At this point of his career
So I think that's what you mean
That makes a little sense
Yeah
But again that 2011 moment
Of beating all those all time players
And winning that championship over LeBron
That singular moment
No matter how many good moments
Louca has in the playoffs over the years
It's hard to surpass that moment
For a franchise
For sure
And that's our only championship
For sure
Yeah
But I'm with you that
I think when it's all sudden done
again we're projecting
I imagine that Lucas
gonna have a higher peak
like three year peak
it'll probably be better
pound foot again
it all comes down to that championship
I agree
I agree for sure
we'll see though
Dirk's hard to pass though
Dirk's Dirk's Dierpeak is amazing
Dirk has
Dirk has scored like 30,000 points
he has an MVP
which Lucas still does not have
and he has
Year 5 yeah
24 like relax
Most people don't have
everybody's been projecting
that he's gonna win MVP
for the last
That's you.
You're everybody.
I am not everybody.
That's you?
I am not everybody.
Go listen.
At the start of every season, he's top three.
He's top three in Betty Knows to go win the MVP.
It's a testament to how great he is at a young age.
Yeah.
And he hasn't done yet.
They just missed the playoffs.
Let's see him get back to the playoffs.
For sure, for sure.
You know, before we start doing all this other stuff.
I understand that's the point of this episode.
But, but yeah, he's, I don't like, like, like you said,
it's a it's a high mountain for him to climb definitely and i i think that on top of that he's either
going to have to get two or he's going to have to get one and play just as long as dirk did for
the mavericks because what dirk has done for him is what dirk is done for that franchise is
maybe like top i don't know just throw out a number seven or eight in terms of like any
any like single player's contribution to a franchise.
Dirk,
um,
Dirk's what,
the 25th best player of all time,
whatever number we want to throw out there.
But he has far more cachet when it comes to individual team.
He's by far the goat and his standings in terms of team goats is much greater than it is for
overall players.
So I'm very,
I'm almost sure that Luke is going to be a better all time player than Dirk,
but he can do that and be by far the better player all time and still not be the franchise
legend that Dirk is.
Exactly.
I think that's the way to put it.
Exactly.
Yeah,
like,
like Braun's obviously
a better player all time
than magic,
but he's not a better
Laker than magic.
100% true.
That's a good place to leave it.
I think that's,
that's a good level-headed way
to view those two players.
Dirk.
Look at us.
Look at us,
debating and reaching common ground
in the most logical way.
Look at us being productive
for the first time ever.
Let's get it.
Next team.
The Utah Jazz.
Nasty man next.
They don't have a goat.
Yeah, nasty man or John Stockton.
I want to say Donovan Mitchell?
I want to say Lowry Marketing.
Jordan Clarkson, 16th of the year.
Walker Kessler.
We can't give the nasty man.
Don't want to give the Stockton, but he's not nasty man.
So I say John Stockton and we move on.
He's weird, though.
I'm not acknowledging that franchise.
How about we just give Russell Westberg to be the...
Actually, you know what?
Let's just give it to Jerry Sloan.
Let's give it to the coach.
Yeah, Jerry slows the goat
Great, good for him
Fax.
Let's do it.
I love you.
People always rag on us,
not rag on us,
but people laugh
and acknowledge the fact
that we nonstop hate on the Clippers
on TikTok and stuff.
The comments are always like
another week,
another Clippers hate train.
People are used to it.
I think people need to realize
we hate the jazz much more.
It'll be the same thing they didn't know by now.
I really hate both franchises.
They,
they,
what do you think is though,
it's not even hate the jazz.
We don't hate the jazz, actually.
I just like to,
Do you hate the clippers?
I do hate the jazz as legends.
I just like to make fun of the jazz.
I do hate the clippers.
I do hate the clippers.
I don't like them as a franchise.
Why?
I don't respect them as a franchise.
Hey man,
we're moving off for the clippers.
We don't need to.
Just real quick.
Just real quick.
Like one sentence,
why don't you respect them?
Um, one word.
One word?
One word.
Lame.
Okay.
That's all I need to know.
That's all I need to know.
We can move on now.
We can move on now.
I thought he was going to say unsurious.
That's funny.
Okay, next team we got, the Warriors.
Okay, okay.
Obviously, Steph.
Yeah.
Check.
Okay.
Personally, I want to say, Seth, for sure.
Is Wolt number two?
To Donovie, might be fucking eight.
He'll put Kvonne Luni before he fucking writes down
Will Tamer's name on God.
I don't know.
So listen, give Kovon Luni five more years.
You might be Yudan Lundon.
You might have to put him number two.
greatest warrior do they love what like that i mean like is raymond green number two
no i'd rather put kd i'd rather green he's there for every trip two-town defense player
of the year just as integral to a great team ever can't i don't i just can't do it i just can't do it i just
can't do it it it's fun to hate on draymond now because he's a little bit wash and or not
wash he's still a great defensive player but he's not
what he once was on either side of the ball.
But he was an all-star.
Like, he definitely was an all-star, but when I view Dremont, I'm like,
yo, this man was a fucking great piece of a foundation,
but he's not the foundation.
He never has been that.
I think you're wrong on that, though.
I think you're wrong on that.
Oh, Rick Berry.
Okay, pull the Rick Berry's and is above Dreyball.
Why am I wrong about that, Donovan?
Let me hear it.
Because him and Steph Curry are literally basketball,
or yin and yang and step has been able to just revolutionize the game and completely carry their
offense and carry their system for however long now draymond has been the backbone of their
defense for the same amount of time and they are able they were able to revolutionize the game
uh partly because of what draymond was able to do and his versatility to guard every to guard
everybody guard one through five his ability to also pass and let step really play off ball like
step is able to run around and not dominate the ball because draymond can pass and and facilitate
the way that he does so i there's no way that they win those chips without draymond that is sure
i would go as far as to say that draymond is equally as influential to modern defense as step is
to modern offense he is small ball the small ball era completely existed because of draymond green
and how the Warriors were able to be
not only the best offense in the NBA,
but also the best defense.
If you're going to be the greatest team of all the time,
we need to be both the greatest teams ever are,
the Bulls were.
And the only reason they were that
is because they had the most versatile defensive player,
maybe of all time,
definitely in the league at that point,
manning that defense,
covering up all the holes.
Everything start and stops with him on defense,
the same way it starts and stops with Curry on offense.
They're equally important.
That's why when you see Dremont go out for periods of time
and he misses 20 games,
it's like, oh shit,
we need to have a dot.
This team is
Everyone's talking about Curry
But Draymond is just as important
It feels so wrong to say
Just as important
But I do definitely
Hear and say what you're
I hear what you're saying
And I definitely do understand it
Dremont he
Just like Steph Curry fucking broke basketball
People did not know how to figure out
How to guard this lineup
Him and just like his instincts
And his quick decisions
It's like he makes decisions in like
Point five seconds
He plays 0.5 basketball you know
never has
never has glue on his hands
when he comes to it and all that
but like when I'm thinking of
greatest of all time
I also have to like consider
just like how you compare
to like the other
goats of your team's
organization and like
when I'm thinking of that
I have to put Katie in that conversation too
he won two finals MVP's in that
he was a monster defensive
as well when he was there
of course like you could
I don't know if I wouldn't be person
once he was better than stuff but like people have that argument in that argument is valid at
times and like I'd rather I'd very much rather put Katie over that so I'm like you know like I have
curry Katie makes sense I get it no yeah the talent matters too you're right like we said the beginning
it's equally equally success and level of player you are so I get that that's why like someone like
Rick Barry is above Draymond because like he's so much better at him and still have the resume
and stuff Katie being there for three years I'm not I'm not putting
him above. He jumped on the bandwagon that was already successful because of Stefan
Draymond. He's a better team goat than he is all-time player. Kevin Durant's a much
better all-time player than he is team-goat for anybody. For sure. Just for the nature, how his career
went. Yeah, I definitely agree. When it comes to this team goat overall, that matters, but also it just
matters about how good of a player you were to. That's why I have to like knock Draymond a couple
slots down. But when it comes to just, for not talking about on the court stuff, like, of course
she raises up a little bit on that list.
Yeah, debate for another day,
but I think that Dremont was so good defensively
and in his prime and his younger years
had enough value in offense that I think he is just as good
of an overall player as some of like the offensive stars
in the league were.
Like most people are going to be like
Kyrie was obviously a better player than Dremon.
2016, I think it was more debate than people think
just because he was that good defensively.
But again, conversation for another day.
That's a whole other can of worms.
That's a good conversation.
King Spice
Let's go on to the next team
Yeah
Let's stick on
Let's stick with
The Kevin Durant
Side of things
Who is the greatest
OKC Thunder player
Of all time
Fucking Russell Westbrook
Like
Of course
KD is the best
Player
But there's the difference
Between being the best
And the greatest
Being the best
Is strictly
Okay
How good are you at the game
of basketball
And all the other shit
But being the greatest
How do you make me feel
How do you impact my heart
How good are you
How many memorable moments
game winners how much do you give back to the community whole nine
everything matters in russellers community okay we're going too
it's like it's like he's peak okayc he is mr thunder that's all it is bro
he is literally it's just because katie left exactly i know that matters though
you have you have these two all NBA talents that were drafted within two years of each
or even i think it was it was either within two years or back to back years and they
rise back to back years they rise together kd's MVP they're doing all these things they went to a finals
has the baby thunder for conference champion four conference finals in six years they go all the way
and then katy just leaves them for the team that just beat them and out the whole city the whole
city is heartbroken the whole state of oklahoma does not know how to act and russell westbrook looks
at everybody and says get on my back and wins MVP averages a triple double take
Kyle Singler on your team
Oladipo
You had Jeremy Grant
Before he was nice
Talk about it
Anthony Morrow
In his can't
He'll be on CNN these days
Team was two cans of ass cheeks
And he carried them bro
He'd be on Fox News
Not CNN big difference
Either either way
Either way he's talking about things
He shouldn't be talking about
But Russell Westbrook
Russell Westbrook
Carried that franchise
Out of ashes
And heartbreak
and despair
and he is
the greatest thunder
that they've ever had.
Okay, I understand.
I guess you could say
it's kind of like the Kobe thing
however we're like
if we're gonna try to separate ourselves
some popularity and stuff
Kobe's one situation
where we have to talk about that
because he's such an outlier
in that way.
This is another one.
You could say the same thing here
where Katie is such an outlier
and how much he broke the team's heart
that he has to be brought down
even if they actually are the same.
He's also an outlier in that way
that you can't like pass
for this specific conversation.
If Katie would have left
and went to another team let's say if he went to
Washington or something like that then I think
we would have been okay about it like differently
because it's like bro you just went to your hometown
who can hate on you for that you know what I'm saying
but if you went anywhere else
yeah anywhere else like it's it's a different
just couldn't be there yeah okay
fair enough I mean yeah you can't really argue against
Resbrook like it's they have essentially the same resume
well never mind Katie has a better resume but
they did everything they did together and they both have one MVP
it's it's close enough that I can see going
the sentimental route for that
like it's it makes total sense
next team
the Houston Rockets
this is Hakeem Olajuwon and it shouldn't
it's not close
it's not close
this is definitely
this is one of the most cut and dry ones
it's up there with Steph being obviously
the Warriors goat not much you can say
Hakeem is their only
top 10 player of all time
the only one that comes close
James is barely cracking top 30
if we're going to be on the more generous side
Well let me say he can be top 30
That's fair
It's not necessarily being generous
Again there's a big golf between like the 10th best player
Of all time the 30th
It's really not close
Plus James Harden left in dramatic fashion as well
Which I don't really know if
He low-key left in just as disrespectful of fashion
As KD did
Bro he got fat
On purpose
For some reason
Rockets fans aren't as hateful
Or maybe it's just like the national
media didn't look do loki let me say this i think the national media definitely forced okayc's hatred
more than okayc actually hated kd that's definitely much more of a forced narrative i don't think
okayc was like burning jerseys like they did with lebron after he left the calves and for some
reason the national media didn't necessarily push that with james hardin because well it's because
the national media didn't love james hardin the way that they loved kevin derwent and okayc
like prior also wasn't drafted there it's probably that yeah so they didn't draft
james hardens maybe that's why that wasn't as much of it i mean i mean i mean
I mean, but they still got him like prior to his breakout.
And so like, you know, there was, there was that.
But the, I mean, the years before James left, like, nobody liked James Hardin.
He was, you know, everybody was calling him a foul merchant and he's doing all these things with, you know, drawing fouls and stuff like that.
And so there just wasn't the same vibe around him.
So people, people are like, listen, you're just like, we don't like you anyways.
So if you're just going to go and do that, like, that's just who you are, I guess.
Yeah, it's just weird
There's people were so up in arms
And like
Now that I'm thinking about it
It was really like a
Okay, C fans
You should hate the fuck out of KD
Like it was such like a
I feel like it was a force thing
Now that I'm thinking about it
A force
You're okay, that's ridiculous
Not forced, not to say
That there's no merit to it
But it was like
It was very much an area
Of cultivated outside
Okay so when LeBron left the Cavs
There's videos of him burning jersees everywhere
The world was pissed
It was clearly Cavs fans
Are heartbroken and betrayed
OkayC fans are upset
I don't think it was the same level
you know what I mean
but it's treated that way now
because like everybody else
that's not an OKC fan
hated KD for it
because they made the warriors
unstoppable
you know what I mean
like it was it was amplified
by the national media
being up in arms about it
if LeBron would have left
to any other team
the city of Cleveland
would have burned his jersey
either way
like no matter where
no matter where he went
his jersey was going to get burned
like Moe said
if Durant had went
to the Celtics
or if he went to the Wizards
or if he went to the Timberwolves
or anybody else.
Everyone would have been like,
you know what?
Like, I'm kind of hurt,
but we didn't get it done.
Appreciate it.
Thanks for the memories.
But literally you just went to the team
that beat us.
Like, we're still reeling from that loss.
Like you, what are you doing?
Like, you kicked us while we were down.
I know, I know.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm just saying the national media cares about it.
I think people assume OKC fans
are much more hurt than they were.
I feel like the sentiment was.
Again, it's hard to gauge that.
like how do we talk about what a fan base felt seven years ago so maybe this is a fruitless
conversation but I feel like it wasn't as much outrage as like the LeBron one for example
but we treat it that way in retrospect anyways the Rock is clearly Hakeem yeah next team
the Memphis Grizzlies Marcus all shout out to you man
when we talk about the worst top threes you know top three's top three's top five's in
NBA history, the Memphis Grizzlies, wow, the Memphis Grizzlies are on the short list of that.
I don't know what word just came out of my mouth, but it wasn't Grizzlies.
But yeah.
Had a fucking, you fuses shorted.
Exactly.
Just fucking Moe moment.
Get it together, man.
My bad.
My bad.
I agree with Moe, though.
I think it's Mark Gassol.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, really the only candidates are people from that team.
Are you coming to Marcusal, Zach Randolph, or Mike Connolly?
It kind of has to be one of them, doesn't it?
Yeah, I give him to Pau Gasol didn't do shit
It wasn't there for that long
It's not gonna be Mike Miller
It's not gonna be Rudy Gay
It's not John Morant yet
Maybe he'll get there one day
Zibo's in the convo
That's so bleak bro
He was such a good player
Full of energy, ecstatic
City loved him but
You just not like that bro
Yeah I guess it's gotta be Mark Gassal
He was the best player in that team
He was an all star for them
Defensive player at the year
That's their greatest accomplishment
In team history
It's their best individual award
That's been won there
Marcusal's defensive player of the year
Yeah that
Which is also fraudulent too
Like that shouldn't even be his
Yeah that's that's like
Listen I don't usually like saying awards
Or fraudulent I usually like
Usually I say it is a joke
But like you gotta get in the respect
He wasn't first team all defense
How the fuck did he would DPOI
That was actually fraudulent
That doesn't even make sense
Statistically how does that make sense
For like whose fault is that like how did that happen
I need a deep dive on this
It's just the way that the points landed
Oh
Yeah, I got to look like who was voting for him first place and not putting him on their all NBA team like there had to be a substantial amount of people that did that for that to even happen because the voters are the same, right?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, if you have a vote for man, the agenda question is wild, bro.
The NBA totally needs to reevaluate who the fuck they give out votes to and that's why you should give them to us.
We'll get you right.
I do not want that power.
I do.
I do not want that power.
Bro, as soon as they expose your name onto the internet, bro,
it's going to be wraps.
I would have such, I would have such inner dialogue
and I'd be torn between wanting to be funny
and wanting to sound smart.
The impossible would be to sign like,
do I troll?
Do I make the best pick?
It would be so hard.
It'd be real funny if Marcus Smart was MVP, wouldn't it?
Oh, yo, people fucking hate you, bro.
It would be hilarious.
No, we should never have votes.
No matter how many
YouTube subscribers.
Speak for yourself.
I'm voting straight off of aura and vibes.
Fits.
Who put that shit on better?
Most costing somebody $45 million on the ore.
We do not, don't give us votes.
It's not my fault, man.
I just seen those tunnel fits and I like monochrome.
What can I say?
Now, you're going to ruin Palo Bancaro's life in five years
by costing him so much money.
Oh, man.
All right, next team.
The San Antonio Spurs.
Tim Duncan, easy.
Next.
We don't have to talk about.
Let's move on.
We literally do.
Cut and dry.
Yeah.
Shout out Dave Robinson.
Shout out young Kauai Leonard.
Shout out Mounted Genoblee.
Tony Parker.
Whoever else.
George Gervin.
They have some legends, for real.
Like, their top five is great,
but it's Tim Duncan.
It's not even close.
It's probably a bigger gap than it was for Houston and the Keem.
Facts.
Yeah.
Actually, no.
David Robinson's probably close.
closer than Jim's Hardin is.
So it's not that much, but it's clearly Tim Duncan.
I agree.
Next team.
Back in the trenches, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Listen, their top five sucks, but they do have a clear winner.
And this is Kevin Garnett.
Shout out to him.
But everybody else, they suck.
In terms of like all-time status, these are just people who should not be in all-time conversations.
Yeah, man
Who are these people
Drop some names
Who's number two
Fatty boy Kevin Love
Is up there
Sam Cassell
Oh my God
Oh my God
Almost threw up on this mic right now
No I mean they
Yeah
They have
Sam Cassell
Kevin Love
I think if I'm not mistaken
I think Wally Zerbiak
Is on the all time team
For the Timberwolves in 2K
That's crazy
Is Kat a top five Timberwol
Yeah he
He looks
He actually is
Oh, my God.
Look, he is.
They're in hell.
I look, it's Al Jefferson number five.
Kill me.
Al Jefferson?
Sam Cassell 4.
Carlton Town is number three?
Oh, man.
I guess I mean, fair.
If Al Jefferson's five, Kat's got to be three, I guess.
No worries, three, four years from now after Anthony Edwards uplifts this conversation
and becomes the second coming of basically Jesus Christ,
according to
with the way
the Twitter
Street was talking
about him
we'll look at this
and he'll be like
yep this man
is number one
hopefully have
some MVP's
championships
and all that
next to his name
but
aside from that
it's
mo mo my bad
didn't mean to cut you off
go ahead
look at this
fucking list
on the kill
showing us
and clutch points
Andrew Wiggins
at 10
this team is horrible
ah
Andrew Wiggins
Andrew Wiggins
Andrew
fucking
a bust
at 10
Mr. Wiggins
Maple Jordan
At 10
Can we move on
This is this is upset in me
This is upset of me
I don't like
This is lightning
This is crazy
I don't like seeing this
Andrew Wiggins
The top 10 player in franchise history
Should we take their team away?
They traded him for DeAngelo Russell
I don't think they deserve it
Oh my God
You might as up a Dilo at 10
Honestly
Eddie Dio is more in that jersey
than Andrew
Wiggins did
Andrew Wiggins sucked
on the timber wall
was like outright was not a
particularly good player
that's crazy
yeah
all right man
next team
who is the Portland
Trailblazers go
it will end up
Clyde Drexler
who I'm saying
Damien
this one's a debate
Clyde versus Dame
okay
give me the case
for Clyde Drexler
I think
so for Clyde
low key like
accomplished
well he did
accomplish more
went to two finals
they have the
I mean something
they have the same number
of all NBA first teams
um
no no first team
oh okay okay yeah
so first yeah so for all NBA
like just in total
dame has more than Clyde
but for first team
they both only have one
and so it's like
yeah Clyde played behind Jordan
Damian Lily played behind Steph
like it's similar circumstances
it's kind of kind of hard
there's two spots so like you got to be somebody else out and you you didn't so it's just
I don't know I just think that this is kind of the same situation that we had with the sons where
you don't really have any high end accomplishments and the resumes are fairly similar
and so I would I would give a little bit of preferential treatment to Clyde because he didn't make two
finals and that's something that dame is i just hasn't done see you i see the difference now whenever
it's super close you're going towards who had a little more success yeah i kind of want to go towards
who was a better player for longer and i mean it's not clear cut but i feel like dames probably a better
player at his peak but client's fucking great too so that's not obvious i don't know in my that's why
i just i think like when we're talking about like what what heights have you reached with this
franchise right to make you not not much but there's a lot
exactly nobody no opportunity nobody has high high if we want to go with anybody
i mean listen bill walton had like a you know he had a like an 87 game run
where he was able to to go and get some chips and dominate the league but
i don't know i just they're all around the same range well listen man i don't i don't know
This is tough.
I think names better.
Clyde went ahead and he did go to the NBA finals.
It gets smacked, but it is what it is to go like, you know what I'm saying.
It is what it is.
But with what Damien Lurter was given, which is just like, look at his all-time teammates.
Second best player is Lamarckitt's Aldridge.
Third is C.J. McCollum, who's never made an all-star team in his goddamn life and never will.
Damn, why I say I say like that?
I say like I hate C-Gene.
I really don't.
But like, that was very spiteful way to say it, but you're not wrong.
Yeah, I'm not wrong.
But Clyde played with Terry Porter.
Like, it's not like, like, Terry Porter's not crazy himself.
What was his path to the finals?
Exactly.
Who was he going up against?
Let's look at that playoff run.
What was that, 91?
They made it.
They made it.
I think it was 92.
He made it, he made it 92 for sure.
So which one?
The first one or the one where they played joint?
Yeah.
What's the 1999?
Can you pull up to the 1992 playoff bracket?
kill let's see what this looks like okay they beat they beat the lakers three one in the first
round they beat the suns four one in the second round they beat the jazz four two and then they
lose in six against the bulls look at us doing our homework right now so the the the lakers
were that was after magic's incident so i'm not moved they beat but was barclay on the suns
in i too can't remember maybe or was that a dan marley team they beat
they they beat Kevin Johnson and Dan Marley that was the year before Chuck got there
okay all right whatever uh and then they but the big to be the jazz who were the jazz
so that's an accomplishment now can we pull up dame's best playoff run it was in 20 2019
it was in 2020 to 2021 I believe it was or 20 or 2019 either one it's 2019 when they make the
conference finals and they get swept after being up 17 at halftime in each one of those games
to a Warriors team that had no Kevin Durant it doesn't matter is that his fault though like
yeah like to a warrior scene that didn't have Kevin Durant it don't matter you couldn't replace
Kevin Durant with the corpse of Matt Barnes which is what they had like there is still
three teams ever that you cannot blame a single star for losing to no matter how great they are
Yeah.
The Prime Warriors, Jordan's Bulls, and the 01 era Lakers.
If you lost of those teams, it's not a knock, no matter how bad you lost.
I'm not blaming him for losing.
I'm blaming him for getting swept and for not getting a game because if, if this was like
the 2016 Warriors where you still have the strength of numbers, right, and you don't have
Kevin around, that's fine.
But all that was gone because you added Kevin to rent and then you take Kevin to
right now and again you're up 17 in each one of those games and you don't get one that's but you
remember what happened though step put on like a master class like step like step like went nuts
that was like an all-time step moment like more than it was oh portland trouble just choking
well it was more bad it was more bad coach they were playing they were playing drop coverage
with like with nis cancer every single place so they were just giving step wide over threes it
wasn't like step was creating a lot of stuff but this is that's an embarrassing way to lose
if you're the if you're the blazers and for me that sticks in my head when i think about the furthest
you've ever made it in the playoffs and you lose like that that's why for me i'm like i just
if we're just going off of winning and everything else is tied i i kind of want to give it to client
i'm not i'm not pressed about this at all though slightly recency bias kicking in there too because
I mean like yeah
Clyde did when I go ahead and go to
multiple finals and I go ahead and
I commend that
maybe I'm having a recency bias too because
I'm fine going Clyde we can go Clyde
yeah I'm going Dame
the bar's just not high
it's not it's not
yeah I think they're close enough
caliber a player that
Dame's numbers are better
productive era Clyde was
just that if you rank the top five scores
in both eras I think they rank similarly
Clyde was that level of player for his era
it's just a different game
and I think they're close enough
in that way that we can go
accomplishments also because of longevity
was also there for Clyde
I didn't go accomplishments
for Charles Barkley
because he played there for fucking
four years which is nothing
Clyde was almost Blazers lifer
in the same way that Dame is now
and almost Blazers lifer
I am basically everything's equal
the one argument that I would have
for Dame over Clyde
is that Dame knows how to use
his left hand and Clyde Drexler
did not
So being able to drive left and drive right, that does help a lot more than just being able to drive right.
All I'm saying is that I'm not holding back, Dane, for his third or fourth best pieces being Alfrou Camino and Maurice Harkless.
Moe Harkleys was an integral player for that team.
That's crazy.
The dude who didn't want to shoot a single three-pointer towards the end of the season because he wanted to preserve.
That three point
I am
I'm not gonna knock him for that
Because that was a half a million dollar bonus
If you stayed above 35%
I respect it
That's a lot of money
Come on
I respect that
Right man
We'll go Clyde Drexler
That's gonna be a debate
For ever now
Since Dames's Portland career is over
Yeah hopefully
But we have one more team left
Before we're done with this part of the pod
The Pelicans
So this is a stinker
This is a stinker
once again Chris Paul is in the race
like he was the Clippers
we went with Bob McAdoo
should Chris Paul be in the only argument
because he played in New Orleans
I don't think he has to be
because he played in New Orleans
I mean not New Orleans
he played in like another city
no no no he played in New Orleans
when they were the Hornets with the same team
they just rebranded oh yeah you're right
yeah it was he played for the New Orleans franchise
not the Charlotte one yeah yeah you're right
so Chris Paul
the only other competition I
think is Anthony Davis.
Okay. Okay.
This, we've had this debate before just in a short version on TikTok time.
Donovan, you go, Mo, you go first.
Where are you, I know where Donovan is going.
Where are you going, Mo?
I don't know, because like, when I think of CP3, he, I think that singular year that he
almost won MVP and.
Almost.
Anthony Davis, he didn't have a, he had fucking fantastic years.
He was amazing in 2016.
and 2017 and when they got buggy and all that like that was peak hype and pretty not not peak
anthony davis but you could actually argue that was probably peak anthony davis but i don't know
i kind of almost want to lean cp3 because of just how how like masterful he was with the pelicans
back then or the hornets back then so i might lean towards him i might lean towards him play for
he was drafted until he was 25
same exact thing as Anthony Davis
they both left in the road 25
the biggest thing that Chris Paul has
in his favor is almost doing something great
which is like the story of his fucking career
he's almost done a lot of great stuff
yeah
great oh he almost did it
okay so
Anthony Davis has two more years
it was five years versus seven years for AD
both didn't win anything
one finished top three in MVP voting one time
Anthony Davis never did that
If that's what moves you
Uh
Anthony Davis back then
Was an insane player
Peak Anthony Davis
When he can shoot
When he consistently handled the ball
And that offense ran through him
Inns and outs
The in and outside game was ridiculous
Rebounding
Bro
He was fucking insane
In 2018 he averaged
28 points per game
Was the block leader
Shot 34% from the 3
Was Crazy Mobile
and that thing that's the year they made the playoffs they had boogie for that first half of that year
yeah or was that the year after uh i think that's the year after okay well they were a playoff team in
that range during that time period when they just got drew holiday like they didn't make a run
they lost to the warriors in the in the playoffs that year i think yeah so again we don't blame
anybody for losing to the warriors bulls or lakers this is a tough one because neither one of them
did a fucking thing and they both left as soon as they could at the same age
how do we even go about deciding this i have an idea has me peak right i have an idea
tell us your idea we give it to chris paul because he was there post katrina
if you play for the if you play for the franchise after the city goes through a natural disaster
you got it that's it that's that's my way of decided i like the way you're thinking personally
i think cp3 had a like he he did the greater almost
but I think Anthony Davis is a fucking prototype.
The greater almost thing.
Yeah, exactly.
This is like the fringe maybe could be intentionally last week.
Exactly.
And it's facts, so I'm not lying whatsoever.
This is not no brain fart.
It's fucking facts.
Like, he didn't do it.
But even though he didn't do it, it's still fucking great that you didn't do it.
But with it, didn't AD have a year he was also top five in MVP voting?
Maybe.
Yeah, but.
It wasn't as great as CP3
That's what I'm saying
One of them was there to pick up the pieces
After the entire city got flooded after Katrina
Ante Davis never did a lot of narrative shit
We're not going this far
CP3 let's go
CP3 let's rock let's rock
We're taking C3
It was a better individual player probably
But CP
2018 MVP voting
Anthony Davis is number three
Doesn't move
They both have a top three finished MVP in their best year
I've told you the tie break
Follow it and let's move on
It doesn't move me
Yeah
Let's go CP
All right
I told you what we're doing
You are a city's goat
For doing almost something
Congratulations
There you go
This franchise
Is in the trenches
They shouldn't even be
The New Orleans Pelicans goat
Is a made up title anyways
Like it just doesn't exist
And we're just doing this for content right now
So
Whatever you want to say
You can say David West
And I'll be like all right
Oh, my God.
You know, I'll say that in a heartbeat.
On God.
You guys remember that one draft I had?
I would say David West like that.
Don't tempt me, man.
Exactly.
He's top 10 for sure.
That's hilarious.
Mo, oh my God.
Are you going to watch?
Are you going to watch, Mo?
Yes.
Do you guys hear that?
I hear it in my ceiling.
Side of the wall.
Could be the rats.
Could be the crayon eaters.
I don't know.
But I think it is TikTok time.
You just call.
the meanest iso and you switch that bitch
from half courts.
That was crazy.
Yeah, man.
It is TikTok time, as always.
Everyone's favorite half of the show.
I know we're all here.
That was crazy.
Is it the rat?
Yeah, man.
As always, we're going to start TikTok time
with the draft per usual, per tradition.
Today we're going to do.
a draft of only players who played with Shaq.
We've done this with KD.
We've done this with Steph Curry, LeBron.
We're trickling down all these journeymen stars.
Let's get into it, man.
I think I have the first pick in this one,
which sucks because this is actually the draft
that I would want to have the third pick in.
Let's drive NBA lineups with only players
who played with Shaq.
All right, Donovan.
Who we got first pick?
I have to take the best player available.
I have to take LeBron James.
Naturally, naturally.
lame but whatever i got to pick the second best player available give me covey okay nice this is my
opportunity to fumble but i will not go ahead go ahead give me kevin garnett and i'm gonna
fuck i'm gonna my center and then at the two give me d waid that's exactly that's exactly
why i wanted to be at three because i wanted those two this is what i do okay
This is what I do.
Dang, dang, dang, dang.
What's the better value here?
Okay.
There's a lot of positions
where there's only one deep.
Donovan has the best small forward.
Give me the second best small forward.
Give me Paul Pierce.
Ooh.
Fuck, man.
Okay.
Happy with that.
Okay.
That's good.
That's good.
I want somebody.
Listen, if you have LeBron,
you need shooting.
Give me Ray Allen at the two.
And then
Hmm
How don't I don't want to do this
And then you know what
Give me a lockdown defender at my one
Give me Gary Payton
I'm glad you did that
I got Kobe and Pierce
I got the bucket getters
I need a playmaker
Give me Steve Nash
Damn
Okay
Makes sense
Makes sense
Okay
You got Steve Nash
I'm so glad I got him
Jesus Christ
I was scared
Yeah
You got Steve Nash
Go ahead and give me
Give me hard away
Give me hard away.
I need him at my one.
Okay.
Good pick.
And then...
You know what?
Next to KG, give me Dennis Rodman.
My defense is a nice.
You are cooking so far, but...
You are cooking shit.
You got no shooters.
Bro, listen.
Listen.
Who needs shooting when I'm going to stomp your face out with two of the meanest NBA players ever?
You're going to have positions one through five hitting drop steps every player.
Yeah.
Okay, next pick
There's not a lot of bigs
So I got a swing
Give me Alonzo Morning
Oh man
I forgot he played with that man
What the hell
Yeah, Alonzo Morning at my center
Let's go
He got it, this is great
This is great
This is exactly where I wanted to be
This is exactly where I wanted to be
At my four
Give me Sean Marion
And at my five
Give me Amari Stademeyer
Oh Amari Stottemeyer played
Wow I forgot about
Damn Shaq
damn doesn't move me
no room protection
Kobe's dunking on my replay
I have LeBron
Why you know how I'm gonna fill
my team with
Am I four
Give me Grant Hill
That's good
I like that
The best version of Grant Hill
Those two years
Where he was elite
Given to me
Oh fuck
Damn bro
He was the perfect play
For my team
Oh my God
I can't win shit ever
But give me Jason Richardson
He fumbled
The best start ever
Give me
Give me Jason Richardson
Man
He was a face
He can dunk
at 40.
What did you just fucking say?
He was a fight.
Okay.
He's the,
I told you.
I told you he was going to fumble.
What the fuck did he just say?
I told you he was going to fumble.
Jason Richardson.
His team is Penny Hardaway.
Dwaywayne Wade,
Jason Richardson,
Dennis Rodman,
Kevin Garnett.
That is the worst team
you could build her on Kevin Garnett.
Is it?
It really is.
everybody is 15 feet
15 feet and under
I'm promising if Penny Hardaway
reached his arm out
he would touch everybody else on your teeth
there's no spacing
you folded
but listen
even if I folded
at least I'm folding with heart
I lost with heart I am fighting
blood sweat and tears
a punch will be thrown
dunks will be made
If I lose, it is what it is.
You're scoring 67 points a game.
Hey, guess what?
How many you scoring on me?
Maybe 69.
Hell no.
All right, now you're on.
Oh, my God.
Easily one.
I was going to say, but no.
No.
Hell no.
I was for to say, I was going to say, but I say myself, okay, let's not do that.
That's funny.
Yeah, so, listen, we've all been there a couple weeks ago.
I folded, and today you got the crown.
Biggest seller of the day.
Congratulations, Mohammed.

And then I have Jason
He was nice
Leave me alone, bro
He was nice, what do you mean?
All right
He was of my favorite players
That he's played with the 2K
And then also I got Dennis Robin and KG
I got a bad man lineup, bro
Crazy
This is how it was a science experiment
Gone wrong
But it was fun
That's hilarious
All right y'all
Next video we're going to do
We're going to do our tier list
Knock this out next
This one's going to be a fun one
we're going to put NBA father-son duos into a tier list
we're gonna start hating on this one
this one this one's gonna get nasty
I can already feel it
will the hate ever end
nope that's what we do
so let's put these NBA father-son duos into a tier list
first off Steph Curry and Del Curry
what are we ranking them by
just how good they were bro
how good they are as a duo
I mean, they have Steph Curry
So I guess we have to go S
But Del was really good
Yeah, they got to be right
Or pretty good
Okay, Del was good
That was solid
I wouldn't say really good
He wasn't a star even
To the rest of the list bro
He was pretty good
I'll tell you this right now
And this could be a prelude
To next week
Dale Curry is one of the greatest
Charlotte Hornets of all time
So you have two franchise goat potentials
In one duo
So I'll say X
Yeah they gotta be the greatest
Father's son duo of all time
Like, it's, when you have Curry and a competent father, it's got to be him.
A competent father.
Show him to his practices.
Shout to you, Del.
No child left behind.
Next up, Doc Rivers and Austin Rivers.
Oh, I'm putting them in like, D.R.F.
I don't think anybody likes them.
I like Austin Rivers.
He had some good years of the Rockets.
Yeah.
He's good, man.
Had some good years with the Rockets.
He had some great years with the Clippers.
He fought with a black guy.
Not five.
But, you know,
he actually did fight on the bat's part
with a black guy gave his all
when CP3 went down in the worst moment.
But this might be a D, bro.
Damn.
I think they got to be seen.
I mean, Doc Rivers was an all star, wasn't he?
He's also known, he's also known as,
listen, Austin Rivers was on the team
that missed 20.
I think he was.
Was he on the team that missed 27 straight threes?
No, I'm not sure.
Was that a year after?
I don't remember for sure.
I can't, I can't remember.
Either way.
No, no, he wasn't.
He wasn't there.
He wasn't.
Either way, him and his father won the clippers at the same time that they choked.
All those leads away.
His father is known as one of the greatest choking head coaches of all time.
I can't put you at sea.
That's a good point.
This is the only do what we saw being the same franchise at the same time and it was a failure.
They got to be a dear F.
Bro, but we got to talk about them as players, though.
No, hey, we don't.
We don't.
This is our cheerist.
This is our cheerless.
We can do whatever we want.
Take your cheerless on me, man, whatever.
Next up, Tim Hardaway and Tim Hardaway, Jr.
Oh, this might be a B or A.
This is definition of C.
What?
Really?
How?
I think Tim Hardaway, Jr. holds his father down.
Every time that they showed Tim Hardaway,
senior, watching his son play,
he always looks a little bit disappointed.
he's like listen i had one of the greatest crossovers ever he'd never learned it i just if he could
just do one move he would be so much better i it is funny that he can't dribble and his father
tim hardaway that is hilarious like you couldn't pick up any fucking lessons exactly he was
traumatized from working in in the backyard while that is true tim hardaway junior is a good
role player that has
had a long NBA career.
Yeah, they'd be.
Yeah, they have to be a B.
Yeah, if one's an All-Star, one's a solid role player, you can't be.
There's not a lot of, there's not a lot of competition here.
I'm hating, I'm hating.
Gary Payton and Gary Payton Jr.
Or Gary Payton the second, my bad.
They're either the same list as the hardaways or a tier below.
I think Gary Payton is clearly better than Tim Hardaway
And GP2 is just as good as Tim Hardaway Jr at least
Nah, he hasn't been as good consistently
He was kicked out of the league bro
He almost got in one year
Yeah exactly bro
You're right he has one year where he's better than Tim Hardaway Jr.
Yeah exactly
But when your father is a Hall of Famer though
But when your father's a Hall of Famer
Yeah low key Gary Payton's probably the second best player on his list
They might have to be A
Okay
I think they have to be his dad's carrying his dad's carrying for sure
He is okay
A, it is.
Next up, Michael Thomas and Clay.
Ooh.
Also A?
This is, I almost said S, but we can do A.
I'll go A.
I'll go A.
I think.
Neither one of them are true superstars, so they can't be S, I don't think.
Okay.
But like, but they're both champions.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Both, listen, both champions.
Clay is what, top, top two, top three, shooters of all time.
Top five at worst.
And so definitely bare minimum
Exactly at worst
So I think when you have that level of shooting
And those many rings at the dinner table
You gotta be A
Yep
Okay
Larry Nance and Larry Nance Jr.
Off of vibes you just got to put him at A
I think they
I don't know
I didn't expect you to say A
That was so much harder
I thought you were gonna say
I've never heard anybody say anything bad
About Larry Nance or his son
Larry Nats Jr. is awesome
He's such a likable role player
He's a great role player
His dad was an All-Star
I think they have to be
B at least
They're probably B
Yeah they gotta be B
They're very similar to
The Hardaway's
Where one's a good role player
And one's a legit all-star
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah nances or B
Yeah that makes sense
Yeah I agree with that
Let's do B
Good people
Next up
Bill Walton and Luke Walton
Luke Walton
Luke Walton
As a player's hilarious
Oh man
I don't really
It was better than him as a coach.
So, for several reasons.
So I'll put them at F.
You throw me off with these rings.
I was not expecting that.
I mean, Bill Walton's a legend.
See, at least.
I wanted to say, see.
He's really holding him back.
Yeah, your son's holding you back, damn.
Ruining your last name.
Are you crazy?
Oh, my God.
I'll be then again, if the rivers are D,
maybe Walton should be D as well.
have you guys heard
Bill Walton call a basketball game
it's not a fun experience
wait is the way he'd be breathing
and like smacking his lips
and stuff or what
he's high all the time
oh
he just yaps
just smagging his guns
words come out
just flapping
bro shut up
no I don't want to hear you
all right put him in D
next up
minute bowl and bowl
bowl
a disgrace man.
Hey, yeah, listen
RIP to Mnute,
but if we're talking about somebody
holding the family name back,
Bobol's doing that to his father.
On and off the court, bro.
What is you doing, man?
Oh, my God, bro.
Nick, you wrote the Boboles
as the family.
Bull Bulls.
Oh, God, bro.
The Boboles is crazy.
Bull bowl wants to be destroyed lonely so bad
This man does not want to be on an NBA court
Facts, bro.
He's misunderstood everywhere he goes.
The only thing, like,
Bobo just failed science experiment,
never lived up to the hype.
Felt, yeah, bro.
Like, everywhere he goes is just like,
everyone's like, oh, but that boy's nice
and blah, blah, blah, blah,
just because you see a tall 7-3 African dude
just dribbling awkwardly.
He's not even nice
That way is not nice
In a pick up he nice
But regulation anything
Nah not really bro
But shot to Mnute
But he wasn't that caliber of player
So this is a D
No
I thought we're putting him an F
We're going F
Bobo's career has been a failure
Damn
And
Yeah Bobble can't even get
Garbage time
Mo said
You said that two years ago
I don't wait
I said that shit
Oh shit I said that shit
that shit.
Oh shit.
Yeah.
F tier it is.
Yeah.
I'm fine with that.
All right.
That's the tier list.
I think this is good.
There's nobody in the middle.
There's just no regular father-son duo.
The Waltons deserve to be C, but they're D because one of them likes to flap their gums and one of them was a terrible coach.
I don't like to flap their gun.
Making me mad uncomfortable, bro.
God.
Chewing sunflower seats.
Chewing sunflower seats is crazy.
That's such perfect imagery.
Ew, bro.
I just imagine like old white paste lips just making mad uncomfortable.
ASMR type shit, bro.
God.
Jerich so far
seats is crazy.
I've done that before.
That's exactly.
This is the most
annoying shit ever.
Top 10 most annoying food and activity,
though.
It's like a pointy paste.
Oh, my God,
I'm crying.
My eyes are so watery.
That was good.
You're sad.
I can't control myself
I have so many tears
I need a tissue
oh my god
I don't have a tissue box in here
no that's good
that's good stuff
oh god
all right man
we can move on to our next video
yeah next thing we're going to do
Nikiel can you pull up the 2K ratings for me
please
we're going to guess some NBA teams
based on their 2K 24 ratings
you're going to see a graph
with the whole team on it and you're going to tell me who it is based off the new ratings
from this year so we wipe my fucking eyes good lord guess the NBA team based on their
2K ratings and first up who is this so the point is 86 the two guard is 92 the power
for them assuming is 85 forward yeah small forward 78 and centers 83 I feel like
Like, okay, this is a very, like, well-rounded lineup.
The two guard is obviously the star with two very, like, you know, solid bigs.
I feel like we're on the same wavelength.
And let's go with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Mail it in.
Correct.
There we go.
Isaac O'Role.
There we go.
Sold it for him.
That's actually Karras Levert.
Oh, shit.
Damn, Isaac, you, you tell me you just got kicked off like that?
Yeah.
I went off a hood too.
You can't list it as a starting five.
That man should not be starting.
Yeah, nah.
Neither one of them should be, to be real.
All right.
Next up, we got this team.
Who do we have next?
Moving.
Okay, all blue.
I feel like we're going a little Kentucky vibe here.
There's no color coordination.
Yeah, bro.
So for the audio listeners, 92 PD, 2Gard 82,
Power 4 is 86, centers of 80,
and the 3 is an 84.
This is just a good team.
This is a really good team.
Respectable.
Who are one of the best point guards in the entire NBA?
This is weird, bro.
I'm going to rattle them off.
Yeah, I mean, there's Luca, Steph, there's Trey, there's job.
Hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on.
Could this be, you stumble onto something?
Could this be.
Uh-oh.
John Morant
in the Memphis Grizzlies
I suppose it could be
you tell me
lock it in
lock it in
John Moran to Memphis
Correct two for two
there we go
good job
good job
I was like
who the fuck is 84
they probably have
Marcus Smart starting or something
yep
Desmond Baines a small forward
Marcus Smart's a shooting guard 82
that threw me off like crazy
I ain't like to you
I thought it was a new team
yeah it's the movie
next up we got another blue one who who is this name star power forward because at the 94 at the power forward
you have a nice three listen this a very nice three four combination we know what this is okay so
point guard 81 shooting guard 79 power four laid on was said 94 center 80 and small forward
is an 89.
This screams.
Who is an 80?
What's interesting?
That's when they say Lakers.
But there's no way Christian Wood is a fucking game.
You know, LeBron was 89?
Oh, you're right.
LeBron's not 89.
You're right.
Slap yourself.
So who are some of the best fours in the entire NBA?
I mean, they wouldn't.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm trying to list off the best fours.
You got Zion
K.D.
A.D.
And then you have
Zion, KD, 80.
Yonis.
Janus.
But, yeah, this doesn't.
Oh, this is the,
this is the Memphis.
Who is it?
Oh, no.
This is the Minnesota.
Minnesota, what the fuck, man.
Milwaukee bucks.
This has to be.
You think Janus is in 94?
No, it's not the Milwaukee books.
You think Chris Middleton is in 89?
you're all my team help me
no no no we were trying to go through
god you didn't look at me to lock it in
we're a team mo
all right I'm composed
you gotta do it together
you call Issa
Airball that bitch
It's okay
Okay
Pull the Nick Young
So no way
Zahn's not in Zon's a 94
The rights of the team is so mid
Except for the 80s
A 97? A 94
Who are some of the best fours in the in the league?
We're really forgetting somebody right now.
And I feel like it may be someone who might not naturally be a four,
which will irritate me.
Which is irritate.
Come on, get some guesses in.
All right, yeah, let's go ahead.
Yeah, so listen off.
It's not Zion.
It's not Janus.
It's not AD.
It's definitely not KD.
I need to look at some logos.
I just need to look at logos.
Not on thinking about it.
Could it do?
be Jason Tatum and could he be a four that does make sense no that that does that does make
sense if he could wait no no because I'm pretty sure they would make Christopps
Brazilian start exactly you start Christops at the five but where is Jayton put no way
Chris off is eight no way let's do let's have no brains let's say it I ain't taking that
blame you say okay that's fine I'm a I'm a lock it in this is the Boston Celtics
You should listen to your fucking partner.
This is not the Boston Celtics.
I told you.
My bad, my bad.
All right.
Listen, listen.
He took a bad shot.
He took a bad shot.
He took a bad shot.
We're even.
Let's do it together.
Let's lock it in it.
You know,
one more guess for you get before you lose.
Who are some of the best fours in the entire NBA?
Okay.
This has to be the New Orleans Pelicans.
Are you good with that?
No way.
Brandon Ingram's an 89, bro.
No way.
And Cesar McCorm's higher than an 81.
Then where are we going?
I don't condemn you for that.
This is not.
to New Orleans Pelicans. This is throwing us off because someone's mispositioned here.
Correct. You guys lose. We're moving on. This is the Clippers.
What the hell finish eight? Oh my god, bro. This is why we don't rock with them.
Oh my God. Russell Westbrook, Norm Powell, Paul George, Kauai Leonard, Zubach.
See? They have Paul George at an 89?
Bro, this is thought he was lower? I thought he was higher. Oh, yeah, 89, Paul George.
Oh my God, bro. Oh, this is trash. See, that's what I'm saying. Who the hell is
This is just bought the game today.
I just bought 2K today.
I'm returning it tomorrow.
And I got the digital version.
I don't know where I'm going to do.
But I'm going to get my money back.
I spent all my VC.
This is trash.
I have $50 invested into that game plus a 70 or 80.
I'm sorry, guys.
Listen, we were going to do TD3 park rents.
We're not doing that this year.
I refuse.
Damn.
That's funny.
All right.
Next up.
Who is this team?
Another all around solid team.
Okay.
Okay. So at the point, we got an 83, two guards at 89, the four is an 86, centers at 82, and the small forward is a 95.
This right here is speaking to me as the Phoenix Suns, because Bradley Beale, he kind of fell off.
That's a good guess. Oh, it's not right, though.
Yeah, you're right. It can't be because you can't be because Devin Booker, he's like that. He's not an 89.
He's not correct.
damn who are some of the best threes in the entire oh i know who this is go ahead oh do you know donovan
this was your wrong answer but it's right now this is the boston celtics correct there we go
i'm in my job good job next up we got this team we're rolling there's a lot of good teams
in the league these are very well-rounded starting fives wow kind of
I'm kind of impressed.
Who is this team?
All right.
So the point guard is the star at 88.
Yeah.
We have a power forward.
The stars are the point guard and the power forward.
Power forward is at 85.
Small forward's 82.
Two guard is the 80 and the center is in 82.
Yep.
Moes in the trenches.
You hear this work on my show?
I'm trying to know.
He said all to their laugh.
You hear just your sorry.
Sorry, man.
He's an episode of power.
I live in the exit when I say, dog.
I just learned that lingo.
All right.
All right.
So let's get back to locking in.
So who was someone's
Lock in?
Let's lock in.
It's like a better point guards in the entire NBA.
You got Kyrie.
It's not him, not Luca.
It's not Curry.
It's not Dame or could be Dame.
Because I see an aim.
No.
There's no way.
There's no way.
Damien Lillard is an 88.
If you think Damien Lillor is an 88, you are on crack.
Well, I might be on what the same thing that the 2K devs are on because they would do something like that.
Oh, shit.
You know what?
This is the Sacramento Kings.
That's a good ass guess, but it's not right.
Damn.
I'm going to go.
I'm going to guess that that 88 is Jalen Brunson and this is the New York Knicks.
correct you're in your bag
you're in your bag
I know my team I know my team
it took it long enough
here we go
last one
dabble sneeze
who is this team
84 of the point guard
79 is the shooting guard
Power Ford is a 90
centers at 83
and the small Ford is a
85
This team is pretty well rounded
I like this synergy
You said this for every team
I mean
They're all round it.
Is this not for the audio listeners or do they not get TikTok time?
Fair enough.
Exactly.
Audio listeners, leave a like.
Anyways, this is...
Is this the New Orleans Pelicans?
No.
Oh, that's a great guess, actually.
I'm going with the Pelicans.
We're going to lock it in.
Let's do it.
This is a New Orleans Pelicans.
Wow.
That's great.
I love that.
I love that.
I'll send a phone one and say the box, bro.
We're here.
We're here.
So that's the end of that segment
We can keep it pushing
Love some good 2K ratings at the start of the season
Guaranteed views
Money
Next up
Next thing we're going to do
I'm going to name two players
And you guys are going to guess who has the higher career earnings
Pocket watching is
Listen, it's going to be a part of our bag
All right
I love to pocket watch
I know we all do
Let's do it
Which NBA player
has the higher career earnings.
First off, we got Scottie Pippen or Javelle McGee.
This Scottie Pippen was locked in for eight years on a wildly underpaid contract.
I know he got paid afterwards, but give me Javelle McGee.
Because somehow he's just been in the league for a long time.
Year 15.
God, that reeks, bro.
Yeah, I might have to say Javelle McGee because, hey, I ain't go lie.
The Minceagram promos be hidden.
PSD underwear, he probably has made three mill off it in his career already, bro.
McGee
Javelle McGee has
76 million career earnings
Scotty Piven has
107 million
Wow okay thank God
He got paid
Incorrect
He got paid on the bag game
Yeah
McGee used to go ahead
And run some
IG store promos or something
Next up
Kevin Garnett
Or Chris Paul
This has to be
CP3 in my mind
Wait does it have to be
Actually
Kevin Garnett
Put a long time
time.
Kevin Garnett had, you know what, I'm going to go with CP just because that last contract
probably pushed him over.
Yeah, bro.
People looked at him in the NBA as if he had a disease.
They didn't want no parts of that.
So I want to leave CP3.
I'm going Chris Paul.
Chris Paul did get a Supermax and that is the correct answer.
Kevin Garnett is $334 million.
Chris Paul 359.
Kevin Garnett is paid.
Kevin Garza was fucking paid for the 2000s
Listen
Playing for 15 plus years
It does a number
That's crazy dude
Wow
I think he was also one of those players
That was like pre
Whenever they didn't have
The same type of max salaries
And you can play people like
Damn your whatever
Like when Shaq got a fuck ton of money
In like year four
Yeah
Same type of thing for KG
You got a fat contract in the beginning
Oh that era was special man
Damn
Man magic Johnson got a third of year contract
It's crazy
All right. Next up, Michael Jordan or Harrison Barnes.
This is shameful, man.
But Harrison Barnes has gotten paid multiple times,
and he just got another humongous bag that Donovan hates.
So it hasn't eaten.
Here in mind is Michael Jordan.
I understand that.
Harrison Barnes' agent might have made more off a commission
than Michael Jordan did in his entire career.
Because the deals he gets is crazy.
I'm going Harrison Barnes.
Harrison Barnes agent might be
the Michael Jordan of agents
He might be represented by Michael Jordan
We're going to
It's either
It's either Harrison Barnes's agent
Or Gordon Hayward's agent
Oh they're both elite fleecers
Oh man
Yeah
Locker Jordan has been 93 million in his career
Harrison Barnes
I'm clear that shit in one contract
He made 166 million
This is disgusting
What happened to the game that I love
This is my goat
So that's a hair
Man
This is a real hoops
Elite bad getter
Exactly
Alright next up
We have
Shaquille O'Neill
Or Kobe Bryant
Time out can we just talk
about this picture
of Shaq
Why do we have to use
This picture
There's so many other pictures
of Shaq
And we use the fattest one
possible
No no no no
There's some fatter
fucking pictures of Shaq out there
I think the hair
Makes it look
Yeah
It looks
It looks like a thumb
This is Shaq
I'm going I'm going Kobe yeah I want to leave Kobe too but Shack did get some bags but the bags
weren't as consistent because he obviously like well actually I actually no but I just listen
why Isaac said earlier matters though Shaq got that major contract after four years and
Kobe was still like on the way up so I think I might go Shaq I want to go Kobe but
but whatever.
Split decision.
Shaq has made $286 million.
Kobe 323.
That last deal to give him $30 million a year
when he was washed?
That put him over the edge.
Yeah, exactly.
That's what I'm saying.
The longevity hits for Kobe,
bro.
It don't matter how good he was.
They're going to give him
whatever he wants because he's Kobe
and he got it like that.
Yeah.
Jeannie bus took care of him.
Shaq had a $120 million head start
and still lost.
This is why he's in every commercial.
He's trying to make up this money.
If you like that,
when you're built like a boulder at age 32
damn
wild straight
body shaming
Kobe took care of himself
at longevity
I thought I just called
shack bat
this is crazy
next up
Jason Tatum
or Alan Iverson
I'm crazy
we're just being mean
somebody just doesn't like Jason Tatum here
oh man we're going with
Has Tatum been in the league long enough to make more than AI?
He's only gone one big-ass contract.
But 2023 big-ass contracts are pretty fucking big.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Guys, Jalen Brown, that's crazy.
Jalen Brown's contract that he just signed is going to be like basically Shack's entire career.
It's just crazy.
That is insane, right?
In me, any money is different.
I might want to lean towards, ah, do I want to lean towards AI because he did.
have like the ups and downs towards like the end of his career where are we going donovan i'm
i'm going i'm going i think i'm going tatum i just anybody who came into the league after 2016
your money's just different so i think i think i think i'm a lean tatum all right let's go tatum
Jason tamm has made 88 million alan iverson 154 million y'all underestimated the boy
god damn he gives money up facts bro boy
Listen, those Reebok deals, though,
that might have doubled that.
Oh, man.
The questions were everywhere.
It's called an NBA player.
Please, they're my closet right now.
Oh, my God.
Ew, you're right.
You're right.
I remember that.
You got some baby blue questions I've seen them before.
They're fired.
At last one, Larry Bird or Zion Williamson?
That picture of Zion is so medicine.
Violating, bro.
It's easily Zion, though.
Easily.
he got a humongous bag off of doing nothing
but providing like three minutes worth of highlights
every single season
that he's played bro
so Zion I'm mean to Zion for sure
he might be averaging a dunk per million
oh bad
I'm going Larry Bird
Nah no way you can
I'm just listen I'm a zag when you're gonna zig
What
That's yeah
Or I'm a zig whenever you're gonna zag
I don't know I'm going the opposite way
I'm going, I'm going to Larry Bird.
You.
Zion Williamson has made $43 million so far.
Larry Bird, $24 million in his career.
Get your bread up, man.
Oh my God, 24 M's.
Bro.
DeAndre Hunter makes more money than you per year.
DeAndre.
Oh, my God.
This man's not even making the Aiden Ross money.
That's crazy.
Oh, my God.
That might not even be phase rug money.
That's it.
Facts.
Oh, bro.
Wow.
Yeah.
80s NBA was a criminal.
There's been all that money on drug prevention in the 80s.
All right, that's the end of that segment.
Next thing we're going to do, I made some graphics for us, and we're going to do one got to go.
You've seen this on Twitter before, there's going to be four squares or four players, and we've got to decide which one we're cutting.
Simple and plain.
I love it.
I love the idea.
Yep.
We're getting into our Twitter engagement bait bag.
You know how it goes.
you know what time of this one got to go which NBA player are you cutting you know why I'm
going listen one of these things is not like the other three of them have rings one doesn't
Luca get out of here get out of here get out of here have to set up Luca don't just like this
this is tough man but he is in this caliber isish of range he just hasn't finished yet
which is tough to say but yeah it has to be Luca bro you're not better than Steph
Janus is insane on both ends of the court
and Yokic, like Isaac says,
could be one of the three best offensive fires of all time.
Whatever, bro.
We heard it.
We heard it.
We get it.
Luca, sorry, but you're not there yet, man.
Luca has to go easy.
It's funny that Moe says that didn't Mo have Yogi
higher on his list than you did?
Listen, a way higher.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We ain't talking about.
You're a bigger munch than he is.
Hey.
You put Yogi at 12.
Like, what the fuck?
Isaac, do you want to have a munch off right now?
Because we can do it.
Months for month
Let's do it
That's crazy
This is a fucking
Goated TikTok
Oh man
I
Yeah man I agree
I mean
Whatever order you want to put them in
Yokish, Yonis and Steph
are probably the best three players
in the league right now
So it's got to be Luca
Yeah
Much for munch
Next year this might be different though
Next year this could be different
We can go nibble
For nibble
All right
Come on, man
All right, next up
Let's go to the next slide
All right, how about this one?
This is hard
For audio listeners, we got Jimmy Butler,
Paul George, Anthony Davis, Damien Lillard
It's like PG and Jimmy Buller
are in the same tier and caliber of players
Always have been throughout their career
And AD and Dane
You could argue the same exact thing
this is the best player here probably this is hard you can't take out dame because he's dame
paul george say goodbye sorry god he has to say goodbye yep it's over yeah i think i am saying
goodbye to paul george yeah like you can't say but you can't take jimmy beller out after
what he just did in the playoffs like yeah he's done it twice now drug a perfectly average team to
the finals paul george could never yeah paul george could never do that he did have his little run
but he didn't get to the final, sadly,
because he went against just straight up a better team.
I mean, Dave didn't either.
You're right, but Dame Mueller is just a better player overall.
So it's like...
That's close.
I mean, I guess I'll lean Dame, but that's not like...
Dude, there's a case for Paul George.
It is close, but Dame literally sent Paul George home.
So he did that time.
Oh, my God, you're right.
That is...
Paul George's got to go.
He got to go.
I think that disqualifies us from ever picking Paul George
or Damien Ludd in any context.
That one-on-one is set up for life.
We can talk about a rapper and I'm picking PG bars just because of that moment.
Hey, but PG's podcast alone, I might have to lean towards that way because podcaster or versus rap career, which one's better?
Who has left more of an impact?
I mean, if it's Damien Lillard's rap career, then it's podcaster.
Shout to podcast P.
The show.
Yep.
Paul George, you out of there.
Next one.
We got lamello ball, Tyrese Halliburton, Darius Garland, Jamal Murray.
Taking out.
This is easy.
And I hate that it's easy, but it has to be Lamello because he ain't done shit yet.
I agree.
I think it has to be Lamello as well.
Yeah, he's been nothing but injured.
He's been nothing but injured.
We've seen Darius going to be an engine of an offense and just consistently be underrated
while also getting his props.
Jamal Murray, best playoff riser of all time.
And Tyrese Halliburton is one of the five best, ten best passers in the NBA.
and he's another 10 is disrespectful
Whatever you want to say
I mean Lamella's also a one-time all-star like
The Melo made it all-star the same year Darius Garland did
That is true
You're absolutely right about that
But at the same time what is he done after that
What is he done to follow up that? Oh, he snapped his ankle basically
And has
Yeah I mean look but Darius Garland
Darius Garland had Donovan Mitchell
Evan Mowgli and Jared Allen
And folded in the first round
That is true
So you want to talk about
what he did after that. He choked. So I think it is a conversation, but I'm still going to take
Lamello out just because he was hurt last year, we're kind of like disqualify him. At the end of this
year, he can easily come back in, knock one of these guys out. But for right, but for right now,
I'll take the other three over Lamello. Yeah, easily, bro. Lamello's going to let mellow's
unmovable next year he will be. But for now, it has to be him with what he's done. Yeah. I think
eventually I think Lavello might have the highest ceiling here, Loki, but he just hasn't an
between you to do it yet so we can take him out that's spicy
spicy let's see him scoring the paint first consistently
stay healthy no I take it back
Tyrese is a higher ceiling but Lamello's close
damn man that's the episode
Mo what should people comment if they're still here
damn lots Donner what should they comment
they should comment uh they should comment
we'll go munch for munch
Okay comment that
comment they going munch for munch
I love the quotables for every pot I love it
We'll see y'all later
See y'all
