[12:47] Speaker 5: You're trying to take your $ 1, turn it into $ 2,
[12:50] Speaker 5: turn it into $ 4. Nah, just give me the consistent 10%
[12:54] Speaker 5: to 25% over the long haul.
[12:57] Speaker 1: I'm a billionaire. You and Jeff, 20 to life. Feel me? Yeah.
[13:03] Speaker 1: You see that girl all the time. You see that
[13:06] Speaker 1: girl all the time, man. You see a girl you
[13:08] Speaker 1: know you can't get to, you got to double, triple
[13:11] Speaker 1: down on that. That's a gamble. I got to gamble.
[13:14] Speaker 3: I need my time... I need times 12 over there.
[13:16] Speaker 6: Yeah, I know.
[13:17] Speaker 2: I need times three.
[13:18] Speaker 1: It's too easy. You just need one time, huh? You
[13:21] Speaker 1: see her. She's at the bodega. You can get your
[13:23] Speaker 1: big game of her anytime. Yeah, but when we go to...
[13:27] Speaker 1: You walk by the Louis V store, you see her,
[13:28] Speaker 1: she's smelling good. You can smell her from outside.
[13:30] Speaker 6: Smell her through the back.
[13:32] Speaker 1: I want to say something to you.
[13:34] Speaker 2: But I'm at three. I'm at three multiplier.
[13:37] Speaker 1: Yeah, he going to take the gamble, right?
[13:38] Speaker 5: He going to take the gamble, right? Take that high
[13:41] Speaker 5: gamble trying to get her.
[13:44] Speaker 2: You're taking the safety. Okay, the safety work.
[13:47] Speaker 1: It's going to add up. It's going to, right?
[13:49] Speaker 5: Then eventually, I come in with the new shit every
[13:52] Speaker 5: goddamn week.
[13:53] Speaker 1: There's going to be some weeks where he be like, ah, damn.

[14:30] Speaker 1: Hondas is like a Bugatti. Before they want to be

[14:41] Speaker 1: and come out. They're good. They don't want to be seen, baby.
[14:45] Speaker 2: So we asked the chat, are you riding or fading
[14:47] Speaker 2: Gil's pics? Gil, 61% in the chat riding.
[14:50] Speaker 1: With your picks. That's a good thing. 61%?

[14:55] Speaker 2: Okay, we will get to that now.

[14:57] Speaker 2: We have also started tracking picks since everybody got in
[15:00] Speaker 2: on the partner pack, so let's take a look at
[15:02] Speaker 2: the current standings.
[15:04] Speaker 1: Gil, you're 28 of 36. No, that's capped. I just

[15:18] Speaker 1: Kenyon at 80% correct picks. Shot at 86%.
[15:20] Speaker 3: Mr. B.
[15:35] Speaker 2: Still 100%, still flawless.
[15:37] Speaker 1: Six for six.
[15:39] Speaker 2: And it's also one of the most bred. Nearly eight times.
[15:42] Speaker 2: The bred has been with Swaggy. You have yet to
[15:44] Speaker 2: make a pick yet. Still boycotting the pick.
[15:47] Speaker 1: I'm waiting. Waiting? Yeah, waiting.

[16:15] Speaker 2: your podcasts. So we're going to start this show off
[16:17] Speaker 2: in the G League with one player in particular.
[16:20] Speaker 1: LeBron James Jr.
[16:21] Speaker 2: also known as Bronny, dropped a career-high 31 points in
[16:24] Speaker 2: the South Bay Lakers' win over the Rip City remix
[16:27] Speaker 2: on Friday.
[16:28] Speaker 1: But two points in.
[16:29] Speaker 2: Particular had the entire basketball community buzzing and saying, boy,
[16:32] Speaker 2: you look just like your daddy.
[16:35] Speaker 6: Let's take a look.
[16:35] Speaker 1: Late in the third quarter.
[16:37] Speaker 2: Hit him with a nice cross.
[16:40] Speaker 1: Whoa!
[16:40] Speaker 2: Go down the lane and delivered the poster dunk.
[16:44] Speaker 1: Look at him. Look at that, man. Look at the
[16:47] Speaker 1: confidence he's playing with. He's got something in his nostril,
[16:49] Speaker 1: but it's all good. Bloody nose and.
[16:52] Speaker 2: We talked about that in the first half.
[16:54] Speaker 1: Back on him.
[16:55] Speaker 6: He will go upstairs, folks.
[16:56] Speaker 2: Delivered the facial.
[16:57] Speaker 1: Ooh. Okay, and yes.
[17:00] Speaker 2: Got the foul in the process. You see the face. So,
[17:06] Speaker 2: the pick was reminiscent of what his pops used to
[17:10] Speaker 2: do back in the day. Like father, like son. He
[17:13] Speaker 2: got valentunas like this last week, though.
[17:16] Speaker 1: That's an old Brown. Yeah, that's the recent one. That's
[17:20] Speaker 1: last week. That's 40-year-old Brown. Yeah. And young Brownie. Like father,
[17:25] Speaker 1: like son. That's last week for real? Huh?
[17:26] Speaker 3: That's last week?
[17:27] Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, shit.
[17:29] Speaker 2: So what was your reaction to Brownie's poster dunk and
[17:32] Speaker 2: the work he's doing in the G League? I know
[17:33] Speaker 2: previously you guys have said G League is a graveyard.
[17:36] Speaker 1: Nah. But it feels different. Yeah.
[17:38] Speaker 3: I mean, his toughness, right.
[17:40] Speaker 6: I mean, like I said before, give it time. He's
[17:44] Speaker 6: a young player.
[17:44] Speaker 1: He's a 55th pick.
[17:46] Speaker 6: Just give it time.
[17:47] Speaker 3: Preach.
[17:48] Speaker 1: We've been saying that.
[17:49] Speaker 3: Preach.
[17:50] Speaker 6: Give it time. You're putting so much pressure on a
[17:52] Speaker 6: kid that's a 55th pick because of who his dad is.
[17:55] Speaker 6: Just give it time, bro. He's hooping right now in
[17:56] Speaker 6: the G League. That's, I mean, if it was anybody else,
[17:59] Speaker 6: we wouldn't even hear about the 55th pick, honestly.
[18:01] Speaker 1: Don't even know. Yep. Wouldn't even know. I mean, actually,
[18:03] Speaker 1: any of them. We don't even hear about them.
[18:05] Speaker 6: So, I mean, I like it.
[18:06] Speaker 5: You haven't heard about no second rounder yet. Not none
[18:10] Speaker 5: of them.
[18:10] Speaker 6: I like it, bro.
[18:11] Speaker 1: Not a dare done. Not a dare done. And how
[18:15] Speaker 1: old is he?
[18:16] Speaker 7: Huh?
[18:16] Speaker 6: Oh, he's only 20.
[18:18] Speaker 1: Young.
[18:18] Speaker 4: Man, the confidence he's playing with now, I love it.
[18:22] Speaker 4: And I honestly think they should throw him out there
[18:25] Speaker 4: in the real.
[18:25] Speaker 1: Games too now.
[18:27] Speaker 2: It has been brownie time lately.
[18:28] Speaker 4: I think what he's doing and the confidence he's showing
[18:31] Speaker 4: and he's growing every game, I would throw him out
[18:34] Speaker 4: there before Gabe Vinson.
[18:36] Speaker 6: Ooh. What is he averaging right now in the G League?
[18:40] Speaker 1: 17, 18. So I'm glad you asked.
[18:42] Speaker 2: So he had that 31-point career high that surpasses his
[18:44] Speaker 2: previous career high of 30, he said, back in December.
[18:46] Speaker 2: 10 for 22 in that game, 5 for 11 from deep.
[18:49] Speaker 2: In his seven G League games this season, Brownies averaged
[18:52] Speaker 2: 16 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 27 minutes per game.
[18:57] Speaker 4: And you don't hear people talking negative or just don't say,
[19:00] Speaker 4: ain't saying nothing.
[19:01] Speaker 1: Nothing.
[19:01] Speaker 6: Them bitch ass niggas out there ain't saying nothing now.
[19:05] Speaker 1: That's the crazy part. They are not.
[19:07] Speaker 2: I have not heard a bitch ass n-word say anything.
[19:10] Speaker 1: They read all the narratives about the, what was that
[19:13] Speaker 1: fucking word they started using, that white man word? Nepo? Nepotism. Huh?
[19:19] Speaker 1: That ain't the white man word. I just heard it
[19:21] Speaker 1: for the first time when he got drafted.
[19:24] Speaker 6: Never heard that word before ever.
[19:26] Speaker 3: Nepotism.
[19:28] Speaker 1: Now they want to use it against the black man.
[19:33] Speaker 1: He had to Google it. What the fuck is that?
[19:36] Speaker 1: Now look at him. Nobody want to say nothing. Yeah.
[19:39] Speaker 1: No second rounder. You haven't heard about no second rounder
[19:42] Speaker 1: at all. You barely hear about the lottery picks in
[19:46] Speaker 1: the NBA right now. You don't know if they're doing
[19:49] Speaker 1: good or bad. bad, right?
[19:51] Speaker 5: But you threw so much dirt and energy on his
[19:55] Speaker 5: name that some of these guys haven't even got in
[19:59] Speaker 5: the game. He only has two points, and he still
[20:02] Speaker 5: has more points than damn near most of the first round.
[20:06] Speaker 1: Ooh.
[20:06] Speaker 5: But there's no pressure on him because their dad is
[20:08] Speaker 5: not famous. You want to penalize him because you can't
[20:13] Speaker 5: get at his dad's legacy?
[20:14] Speaker 6: That's crazy.
[20:15] Speaker 1: That is crazy. Mr.
[20:17] Speaker 2: Cemetery Lair, I saw you sipping your beverage. You've been
[20:21] Speaker 2: a little quiet on this side of the couch.
[20:27] Speaker 1: What the hell?
[20:28] Speaker 2: If you can hide, you can hear. Because I'm sipping
[20:30] Speaker 2: my drink.
[20:31] Speaker 1: You're not. You took a little sip. I mean.
[20:35] Speaker 2: Are you rolling with Bronny's poster dunk in his G
[20:37] Speaker 2: League career thus far?
[20:39] Speaker 6: He got a little.
[20:41] Speaker 1: Got a little something right there. Well, now that we
[20:46] Speaker 1: got that cleared up. Okay, we're not going to do
[20:51] Speaker 1: none of that over here. So, it's a good day,
[20:56] Speaker 1: you know. It's a good day. It is a good day.
[20:57] Speaker 1: It's a good day. Good day. It's a good day. Yo,
[21:02] Speaker 1: it's a good day. You could see these days in college.
[21:05] Speaker 1: I would like to see these college days.
[21:06] Speaker 3: I was going to ask you that. I'm still going
[21:07] Speaker 3: to stand on that.
[21:08] Speaker 6: I was going to ask you that. Do you feel
[21:09] Speaker 6: like he still should have went back to college?
[21:11] Speaker 1: Absolutely. Because this day that we're praising could be a
[21:15] Speaker 1: week or a month in college, killing, dominating, establishing himself
[21:23] Speaker 1: to be the number one pick in the upcoming draft. Ooh.
[21:27] Speaker 1: Because that's what he's shining himself to do right now.
[21:30] Speaker 1: He's showing, oh, yeah, look, it's promising. Look, he's saying
[21:33] Speaker 1: give him time. Yeah, man, he could have been the
[21:35] Speaker 1: number one pick this year. Talk about those second round.
[21:38] Speaker 1: Who looking for a second round pick? I ain't looking
[21:40] Speaker 1: for no second round pick.
[21:40] Speaker 2: Sean, you feel like Bronny could have been, if he
[21:42] Speaker 2: went to college, he could have been in the discussion
[21:43] Speaker 2: for the number one pick over Cooper Flagg.
[21:46] Speaker 1: If he's playing like he's playing now.
[21:48] Speaker 6: Over Cooper Flagg?
[21:48] Speaker 1: If he's playing like he's playing now.
[21:50] Speaker 6: And the kid, that's.
[21:51] Speaker 1: How is he playing right now? Confident. Confident. What did
[21:54] Speaker 1: you just say?
[21:55] Speaker 3: You throw him out there in front of who? Gabe Vincent.
[21:57] Speaker 1: All right. Uberflag ain't like that, where he can't get
[22:01] Speaker 1: no competition from Bronny James, who played a good first season,
[22:06] Speaker 1: had a hard situation. You say his potential is upside.
[22:10] Speaker 1: Give him a chance out there in the college realm
[22:12] Speaker 1: to let Cooper get to do his thing.
[22:14] Speaker 3: Let Brownie go out there and do his thing.
[22:15] Speaker 1: Man, he'd be top five, top ten for sure. For sure.
[22:20] Speaker 1: Just name him along. Like you said, he's selling jerseys.
[22:23] Speaker 1: That means you got eyes on him.
[22:24] Speaker 6: So one year going from the 55th pick to Demi.
[22:27] Speaker 1: One more year of college, he can go top five.
[22:31] Speaker 1: I think people would have got bored of him. If
[22:33] Speaker 1: Castle stayed one more year, does he go number one? No.
[22:38] Speaker 6: Brody kind of got worse. He probably could have went
[22:40] Speaker 6: back further.
[22:42] Speaker 1: Or he would have went number one because they go
[22:44] Speaker 1: repeat again. They win another championship for UConn. We're talking
[22:49] Speaker 1: about potential.
[22:50] Speaker 2: Shot is not about who's good. It's who do they
[22:53] Speaker 2: think is going to be good in.
[22:54] Speaker 1: A few years. Potential.
[22:55] Speaker 5: So when you're talking about Cooper Flagg, he's 17 turning 18, right?
[22:59] Speaker 5: So he's 18 now, 6'10. So they can put him
[23:04] Speaker 5: at any position. So you got to think about the
[23:08] Speaker 5: multiple position type of players. Bronny's a 6'2 shooting guard, right?
[23:14] Speaker 5: He will have to transfer into a pure point and
[23:18] Speaker 5: let the point guard position be your dominance because of
[23:21] Speaker 5: your athleticism. As a shooting guard, you're undersized. You're just
[23:25] Speaker 5: an average player. As a point guard, your top five
[23:29] Speaker 5: in athleticism is you.
[23:30] Speaker 1: John Morant, Fox, you. Who else? What other point guards
[23:39] Speaker 1: got bouncing fast twitch muscles like that? I don't know.
[23:43] Speaker 1: Not this. Young fella in Portland.
[23:47] Speaker 3: Scoot.
[23:47] Speaker 6: Scoot.
[23:49] Speaker 1: So he's top five. He's top five just in his measurements.
[23:52] Speaker 1: He's a point guard? Yeah. He's like, yeah.
[23:54] Speaker 6: I mean, one, two.
[23:57] Speaker 1: He had a good day. He had a good day.
[24:03] Speaker 1: He's had a few good days.
[24:04] Speaker 4: I think G League better for him than college.
[24:07] Speaker 1: I don't.
[24:08] Speaker 3: I don't.
[24:08] Speaker 1: I don't. And the fact that y'all pushing, the fact
[24:11] Speaker 1: that y'all pushing like the G League is a place
[24:13] Speaker 1: where a guy like him wants to be.
[24:15] Speaker 4: No, we don't say he wants to be there, but
[24:17] Speaker 4: he needs to. And I feel like he's benefiting.
[24:19] Speaker 1: But the reason he needs to is because what? He
[24:21] Speaker 1: has a lack of what?
[24:23] Speaker 4: For me, I think it was more confidence than anything.
[24:25] Speaker 4: If you're dealing with the pressure of everybody talking negative
[24:28] Speaker 4: about you, and now that you in this place where
[24:31] Speaker 4: you could just be free and be you, and all
[24:34] Speaker 4: eyes is off you, Confidence is.
[24:36] Speaker 1: Not coming from the people. The confidence is coming from
[24:38] Speaker 1: your lack of play. You're not playing enough basketball for
[24:42] Speaker 1: you to build confidence. You build confidence in college by playing, bro.
[24:46] Speaker 4: As an 18-year-old, anything you do is going to be
[24:48] Speaker 4: critiqued and talked about. It's hard to play under that
[24:51] Speaker 4: type of pressure.
[24:52] Speaker 1: That's the game. That's the game you chose to play.
[24:54] Speaker 1: These are the rules of our game. Criticism, family, girls.
[24:58] Speaker 4: You still need a chance to grow. We never giving
[25:02] Speaker 4: him a chance. No, we are giving him a chance.
[25:04] Speaker 1: He chose to not take that. That chance was four
[25:07] Speaker 1: years of college. You talk about growing. And you skipped
[25:11] Speaker 1: out on four years of growth. So don't give me
[25:13] Speaker 1: the excuse that now that you're here, I need to
[25:16] Speaker 1: grow more and I need more time. No, bro, that's
[25:18] Speaker 1: not how it works.
[25:19] Speaker 4: People forget about it.
[25:21] Speaker 1: I get it, but they're not going to forget about it.
[25:22] Speaker 1: Cooper Flatt stayed in college for three years. He's done.
[25:24] Speaker 1: He's done. They're not going to forget about Bronny James
[25:27] Speaker 1: because he's LeBron James' son. regardless of how long he
[25:31] Speaker 1: stay there. They're not going to forget about him. Now,
[25:33] Speaker 1: his play may make you not look at him as
[25:36] Speaker 1: a player like that if he don't deliver. But like
[25:39] Speaker 1: you said, if he's going to progress like he has
[25:42] Speaker 1: from the beginning of the season to now, If he
[25:44] Speaker 1: was in college and he's progressing at this rate, by
[25:46] Speaker 1: the end of the season, he might take his team
[25:49] Speaker 1: to the championship.
[25:50] Speaker 3: College is different.
[25:51] Speaker 2: Would he progress at this rate being in college?
[25:54] Speaker 1: Yes.
[25:54] Speaker 6: I believe so. He gets to play. How good is
[25:58] Speaker 6: SC men's basketball?
[26:00] Speaker 1: Trash.
[26:02] Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait.
[26:03] Speaker 1: Wow.
[26:04] Speaker 3: All right.
[26:05] Speaker 1: We ain't got no names like that, but all right.
[26:08] Speaker 2: We'll find out tonight.
[26:08] Speaker 3: We'll find out tonight, yeah.
[26:09] Speaker 1: We'll see what's coming. We'll see.
[26:11] Speaker 3: But I'm just saying.
[26:12] Speaker 6: I just think this year right now with his dad
[26:14] Speaker 6: being with him and what he's around, you can't get
[26:17] Speaker 6: that in college, man.
[26:18] Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't.
[26:18] Speaker 6: And your dad is still playing at a high level.
[26:21] Speaker 6: And you still in the G League. I'm still with
[26:23] Speaker 6: my dad, though, every day. That was a part of
[26:25] Speaker 6: the plan. But I'm in the G League playing. What
[26:27] Speaker 6: do you think college is for? To get away from
[26:28] Speaker 6: your parents, bro?
[26:31] Speaker 3: Yeah. Learn how to live on your own, bro.
[26:34] Speaker 2: No, I will.
[26:34] Speaker 1: No, you're not. You're not. You wasn't even going on
[26:38] Speaker 1: the road with us first.
[26:40] Speaker 2: He said shit after he had made some road trips
[26:42] Speaker 2: with the G-League.
[26:43] Speaker 6: I was in the G-League.
[26:44] Speaker 1: Wasn't even going on the road, that's at first. I mean,
[26:46] Speaker 1: what that got to do with... Getting out on your own, man.
[26:49] Speaker 1: Being your own. I am. I am.
[26:51] Speaker 6: I'm in the G-League. My dad plays in the NBA. Like,

[27:01] Speaker 1: Because you grown. That's fine. You grown. I am grown. Yeah,
[27:04] Speaker 1: stop saying my dad, bro. I'm learning from my dad.
[27:07] Speaker 2: Stop saying my dad.
[27:09] Speaker 1: I'm learning from the greatest player. You still live with
[27:10] Speaker 1: your dad? You still live with your dad? I don't
[27:13] Speaker 1: want to hear you say my dad in a conversation.
[27:16] Speaker 1: Hold on. We're grown. We're grown. I want to hear, hey, man, look,
[27:19] Speaker 1: I talked to my dad yesterday, and I don't want
[27:21] Speaker 1: to hear that, bro, as a grown man. Okay, that's
[27:24] Speaker 1: a grown man. His name is Jay. His name is LeBron.
[27:27] Speaker 1: Because his name is LeBron. I mean, LeBron.
[27:28] Speaker 4: We got people like Anthony Edwards just called Michael Jordan.
[27:31] Speaker 1: He didn't say it's my daddy. That's not his dad.
[27:34] Speaker 1: That's not his dad. He didn't say my dad. He
[27:37] Speaker 1: called his dad. He didn't say my dad.
[27:39] Speaker 2: We have not seen the paternity test.
[27:40] Speaker 1: But that's not his dad. My dad. We still learn.
[27:43] Speaker 3: My dad.
[27:43] Speaker 1: We all learn from somebody, right? Right, you learn from KG.
[27:46] Speaker 6: He can't help that his dad is one of the
[27:48] Speaker 6: greatest players ever.
[27:49] Speaker 1: What the fuck? The fuck?
[27:51] Speaker 6: He can't help that his dad's one of the greatest
[27:52] Speaker 6: players ever still playing?
[27:54] Speaker 1: Can't help that. If you got that, you ain't going
[27:56] Speaker 1: to use that? He has it every day. What do
[27:59] Speaker 1: you mean? No. No, he don't got it every day? No.
[28:01] Speaker 1: It's not his dad, then. It was real daddy.
[28:04] Speaker 5: What do you mean every day?
[28:05] Speaker 1: At home, when he's not working? Yeah, when I come home,
[28:07] Speaker 1: I go to work. How do I know what my
[28:08] Speaker 1: dad's doing?
[28:09] Speaker 6: Actually, being in a locker room with professional athletes every day,
[28:12] Speaker 6: like me going to college, me going to Arizona, and
[28:14] Speaker 6: actually me going to Italy, it was two totally different things.
[28:17] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
[28:17] Speaker 6: That education that I got just learning life, being a professional,
[28:21] Speaker 6: was totally way better than college.
[28:22] Speaker 1: How can you say that?
[28:25] Speaker 6: Because I know how I came into the league.
[28:26] Speaker 1: But you never went to college, Brandon, so you can't
[28:28] Speaker 1: even compare it. Listen to what you just said. It's
[28:31] Speaker 1: way better than college. And I still went top ten.
[28:34] Speaker 1: So how do you say it's way better than college
[28:37] Speaker 1: and you never went?
[28:38] Speaker 6: Because the education of life. I know for sure. Being
[28:41] Speaker 6: a professional, you going to college every day and going
[28:44] Speaker 6: to class, I'm actually in the gym every day.
[28:46] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[28:48] Speaker 6: I'm going to practice two times a day.
[28:50] Speaker 1: I'm in a EuroLeague.
[28:50] Speaker 6: I'm playing against professional athletes. I'm playing against professionals every
[28:54] Speaker 6: day for a whole year.
[28:56] Speaker 1: I didn't play at all.
[28:56] Speaker 6: I come back, go to a draft workout. Oh, no,
[28:59] Speaker 6: we're going to take him. He know how to come
[29:00] Speaker 6: off a pick and roll.
[29:01] Speaker 1: Remember, you didn't go to college. And I just went.
[29:06] Speaker 1: You just explained to me what y'all did in Europe.
[29:08] Speaker 1: You just explained. You never went to college. You know
[29:12] Speaker 1: what we was doing?
[29:13] Speaker 3: Going to class.
[29:14] Speaker 1: Don't save him. What was we doing in college other
[29:19] Speaker 1: than going to class? In the gym. When? How many
[29:23] Speaker 1: times a day was we in the gym?
[29:24] Speaker 6: Not more than me.
[29:25] Speaker 1: Not more than you? No. But how many since you
[29:27] Speaker 1: went to college? Maybe one time. Maybe once. Maybe once.
[29:30] Speaker 1: I don't know. But not more than me.
[29:32] Speaker 3: Okay.
[29:32] Speaker 1: So we had weights. I know for sure not more
[29:33] Speaker 1: than me. We had weights.
[29:35] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
[29:35] Speaker 1: They did have weights. Yep, I did too. That was
[29:38] Speaker 1: before practice.
[29:39] Speaker 3: Yep, right. here.
[29:40] Speaker 1: Me too. Study hall. Nope, nope, nope.
[29:42] Speaker 3: That's practice.
[29:43] Speaker 6: Class.
[29:45] Speaker 1: We had class, study hall.
[29:46] Speaker 3: Lay down.
[29:47] Speaker 1: Then we had practice. Okay, another practice.
[29:49] Speaker 4: Right?
[29:50] Speaker 1: Then we had dinner.
[29:51] Speaker 6: Uh-huh.
[29:51] Speaker 1: Right? Then we went, if we wanted to, go back
[29:54] Speaker 1: and play again. Oh, if you wanted to. No, no,
[29:56] Speaker 1: we didn't.
[29:56] Speaker 6: No, if we wanted to. No, we did three times
[29:59] Speaker 6: a day for five days a week.
[30:01] Speaker 1: Right. That's what you did. And it... Yes. And then
[30:05] Speaker 1: we had a game. What we did in college, we
[30:07] Speaker 1: did twice a day, and we had our team, and
[30:09] Speaker 1: we had to juggle that with going to school.
[30:12] Speaker 6: And we had to juggle that with studying. If anybody
[30:13] Speaker 6: played in Europe, please tell me. You played in Europe.
[30:16] Speaker 1: Yes, bro. You're talking to somebody who did both.
[30:19] Speaker 3: Right.
[30:19] Speaker 1: Yes, so you only did one. Right, at 19, at 18.
[30:22] Speaker 1: You can't tell me how it was in college. You
[30:27] Speaker 1: can't participate now, can you? Gil would like to interject.
[30:31] Speaker 1: How many years did you go to college?
[30:32] Speaker 3: Three.
[30:32] Speaker 1: Three. Three.
[30:34] Speaker 6: Okay.
[30:35] Speaker 1: Three years of college.
[30:37] Speaker 5: Did those three years in college prepare you for your
[30:40] Speaker 5: rookie season?
[30:41] Speaker 1: Yes. Nick?
[30:44] Speaker 4: No.
[30:45] Speaker 1: Say it. Hell no, all right? Say it.
[30:48] Speaker 2: Go on and say the real thing. Hell no.
[30:50] Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. You asked
[30:53] Speaker 1: me a question to only change my answer to your
[30:57] Speaker 1: fucking answer. No, no, no. I'm changing it to your answer.
[31:01] Speaker 1: I just gave you my answer.
[31:02] Speaker 6: No, no, no.
[31:02] Speaker 1: You gave me your answer. What the fuck is going on?
[31:05] Speaker 1: Hold on. Are we in the Twilight Zone? He asked
[31:08] Speaker 1: me a question. I gave you the answer. He said, no, no, no.
[31:11] Speaker 3: Your answer is this.
[31:14] Speaker 1: Everybody's watching the TV just seeing it. Rewind it.
[31:17] Speaker 6: Okay, so look, you know, I got a nice little memory.
[31:19] Speaker 5: So probably like six months ago, you were saying how
[31:28] Speaker 5: when you got to the league, you wasn't ready for
[31:30] Speaker 5: all the new hoes because college didn't teach you about that.
[31:34] Speaker 1: Who said that? You did. My nigga, stop it.
[31:36] Speaker 3: Now you're making up shit.
[31:38] Speaker 1: They don't even sound like me. What the fuck are
[31:42] Speaker 1: you talking about?
[31:43] Speaker 2: You wasn't ready for the.
[31:45] Speaker 1: Nobody ever, that never came out of my mouth. You're
[31:47] Speaker 1: making it up. Especially if you can't bring up the film.
[31:50] Speaker 1: If you can't bring up the film, don't bring it up.
[31:53] Speaker 1: We're going to have the same conversation tomorrow.
[31:55] Speaker 2: Okay.
[31:56] Speaker 5: I want the film when he was talking about KG.
[32:00] Speaker 5: He was talking about when he first got to Minnesota
[32:02] Speaker 5: and he wasn't ready for the league.
[32:05] Speaker 1: It was all new to him.
[32:06] Speaker 5: The girls was his downfall because he was coming out
[32:09] Speaker 5: of Rapid. He was talking about KG. KG was like, yeah,
[32:13] Speaker 5: you don't do a regular room.
[32:14] Speaker 1: You always upgrade your room when you get to the hotel.
[32:17] Speaker 1: It was that story. Find it for me, and we'll
[32:20] Speaker 1: talk about this tomorrow. So from right now, you said
[32:23] Speaker 1: you wasn't ready. I mean, you were ready. You said
[32:26] Speaker 1: you wasn't ready, right? So those three years... Yeah, those
[32:28] Speaker 1: three years.
[32:29] Speaker 4: The start over, the beat coming off the bench and shit,
[32:32] Speaker 4: coming from being a man in college and then coming
[32:34] Speaker 4: to the NBA is like a.
[32:36] Speaker 3: You have to start all.
[32:37] Speaker 1: Over again and shit.
[32:39] Speaker 4: But the mental part, coming off the bench again, that
[32:42] Speaker 4: kind of messed me up.
[32:44] Speaker 2: So we asked the chat.
[32:45] Speaker 1: I remember Shaw saying that. We asked the chat, what was.
[32:47] Speaker 2: The right move for Bronny... NBA G League or going
[32:50] Speaker 2: back to college. 69% said NBA G League.
[32:54] Speaker 6: But we're going to take it. He actually said that.
[32:56] Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know.
[32:57] Speaker 6: We got it.
[32:57] Speaker 2: I can't wait to see this. We showed Bronny's dog earlier.
[33:01] Speaker 2: We will reflect on it tomorrow.
[33:02] Speaker 6: He said he got the film.
[33:04] Speaker 3: He got the film.
[33:05] Speaker 1: I'm going to walk you through the play-by-play. I told
[33:08] Speaker 1: you I see music. Nigga, I will walk you through.
[33:10] Speaker 1: Step for step, word for word. Okay, what did you say?
[33:14] Speaker 6: But it's not important.
[33:16] Speaker 1: What'd you say to this? What'd you say to this, Sean?
[33:18] Speaker 1: I can't feed it to somebody who wants to.
[33:21] Speaker 3: Win so badly.
[33:23] Speaker 5: It's not about the win. It's like you're saying that...
[33:25] Speaker 5: What is it about? You're saying being ready. Like, no
[33:28] Speaker 5: matter what college.
[33:29] Speaker 1: Did, you're not ready. The NBA is a whole different breed. Yes,
[33:33] Speaker 1: you can be ready physically. You can be ready. Not mentally. Mentally,
[33:38] Speaker 1: it's always something new. No one's mentally ready for something new.
[33:42] Speaker 1: That's why you have to spend time there. That's why
[33:45] Speaker 1: you have to get adjusted to it. So when I'm
[33:48] Speaker 1: ready physically, the only mental adjustment for me was understanding
[33:54] Speaker 1: that KG didn't give a fuck about college. Because he
[33:57] Speaker 1: didn't play in college. He didn't want to hear the
[33:59] Speaker 1: college stories. He didn't want to hear that shit. So
[34:01] Speaker 1: I had to adjust with, oh, we got to start
[34:03] Speaker 1: this shit fresh. Nobody want to hear about what you
[34:05] Speaker 1: used to do. Nobody want to hear about what you
[34:08] Speaker 1: used to do. So the only adjustment for me was, hey, man,
[34:11] Speaker 1: you on your job now. Just go out here and
[34:14] Speaker 1: put your head down.
[34:15] Speaker 5: So with that being said, why would he go to
[34:21] Speaker 5: college if it all resets when he comes to the NBA?
[34:25] Speaker 1: Because he's not physically ready. But he can get ready here.
[34:29] Speaker 1: He's got the weight program. He got this. He don't
[34:32] Speaker 1: have to waste his time in class. Like I said,
[34:34] Speaker 1: I would rather have an 18-year-old get into the profession
[34:38] Speaker 1: and learn to be... This is your new job. This
[34:40] Speaker 1: is like your intern versus going three years, four years
[34:44] Speaker 1: in college and then coming and be a 24-year-old intern.
[34:46] Speaker 1: Everything we even talk about with what the problem is
[34:49] Speaker 1: with basketball was simultaneously promoting bringing younger guys in to
[34:54] Speaker 1: skip college Skip all the foundational things we need in
[34:59] Speaker 1: the game just to say, oh, I can learn it
[35:01] Speaker 1: while I'm here. Spend two, three years in the G
[35:05] Speaker 1: League where they don't teach it the way they could
[35:08] Speaker 1: teach it in college. And then use that metric to say, well,
[35:12] Speaker 1: we don't have guys experienced enough in the league no more.
[35:14] Speaker 1: It's getting younger and younger and younger. Why? Because we
[35:17] Speaker 1: promoting not to go to college, not to learn for
[35:20] Speaker 1: three years.
[35:22] Speaker 6: So what's the difference between kids overseas?
[35:24] Speaker 1: Experience. They playing. Right, right.
[35:27] Speaker 6: So they start at a, what, young age, right? So
[35:30] Speaker 6: what's wrong with an 18-year-old being able to come to
[35:33] Speaker 6: the G League?
[35:34] Speaker 1: He not going to play the game with the confidence
[35:36] Speaker 1: and the freedom or even the critique, even the critique
[35:42] Speaker 1: of what college does for you. It makes you play
[35:44] Speaker 1: the game the right way.
[35:45] Speaker 6: So what about the kid from BYU? I mean, the
[35:48] Speaker 6: kid that just.
[35:49] Speaker 1: The big kid that just... The two-time MVP. A two-time...
[35:52] Speaker 1: The big kid that just committed to BYU. A.J. DeBansa? Yeah, him.
[35:57] Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
[35:58] Speaker 1: What about him?
[35:59] Speaker 6: He can go to the NBA right now.
[36:01] Speaker 1: Yes. Where is he going?
[36:03] Speaker 6: He's going to BYU.
[36:04] Speaker 1: Why?
[36:04] Speaker 6: Because he has to.
[36:06] Speaker 1: He has to.
[36:07] Speaker 4: He has to spend a year for the NBA, though.
[36:09] Speaker 4: He don't think so.
[36:10] Speaker 1: So what other route could he have went?
[36:12] Speaker 6: You don't think he's ready right now?
[36:13] Speaker 1: But I feel like I learned, like.
[36:16] Speaker 4: shit in college that helped me prepare for the NBA,
[36:19] Speaker 4: like my mid-range and how to come off screen.
[36:21] Speaker 3: Come off screen. I didn't do none of that in college.
[36:23] Speaker 4: I was just like a dunker in college.
[36:25] Speaker 1: I mean, in high school, I was like a dunker.
[36:27] Speaker 1: That kid is a phenom. That kid is a phenom.
[36:30] Speaker 1: He is, but he got to learn how to play
[36:31] Speaker 1: the game. In high school, you just out there hooping.
[36:35] Speaker 1: And then you go to college and you learn what
[36:37] Speaker 1: a pin-down is. Like a real pin-down, where the big
[36:40] Speaker 1: is a big, and you have to go down there
[36:43] Speaker 1: and set a screen. Like, that shit is structure. We
[36:47] Speaker 1: are missing structure in the game. That's the problem. Okay,
[36:50] Speaker 1: so the best basketball.
[36:53] Speaker 5: Player in college basketball last summer was Edie. Two-time player
[37:01] Speaker 5: of the year, which means he was the best in
[37:06] Speaker 5: the world coming into the end.
[37:08] Speaker 2: What's the name?
[37:09] Speaker 6: As of right now, he is learning at the same
[37:14] Speaker 6: rate As a young man.
[37:18] Speaker 1: As 18 and 19-year-olds. He has the biggest advantage coming
[37:21] Speaker 1: into it with all his experience, all his dominance. You
[37:25] Speaker 1: get to the next level.
[37:26] Speaker 5: Right now, you have a total of 308 points.
[37:30] Speaker 1: Oh, my God. How did you just... 308... How did
[37:33] Speaker 1: you just equate that to stats?
[37:35] Speaker 5: So basically, everything he did in college has no bearing
[37:39] Speaker 5: in this game.
[37:40] Speaker 1: Yes, it does. So you got a 24-year-old learning at
[37:43] Speaker 1: the same rate as an 18, 19-year-old. What are you
[37:45] Speaker 1: talking about, Gil? He has no advantage. He's a seven-footer
[37:48] Speaker 1: who knows how to seal.
[37:49] Speaker 6: There's no advantage.
[37:50] Speaker 1: Do you know the difference of the advantage? The 18-year-old,
[37:53] Speaker 1: you know what he don't know how to do? What
[37:56] Speaker 1: is he talking about? You have to go through a
[37:58] Speaker 1: progression of structural development. Do you know what the miking
[38:03] Speaker 1: drill is for a big? You do it because you
[38:05] Speaker 1: have to have a soft touch around the rim. Yeah, but... Right?
[38:09] Speaker 2: Jump.
[38:09] Speaker 1: Hey, the jumping drill where you touch the backboard. Tap, tap,
[38:12] Speaker 1: dunk it. Tap, tap, tap, dunk it. You know an
[38:15] Speaker 1: 18-year-old would not be able to do that for a minute?
[38:18] Speaker 1: You know how long a big got to do that?
[38:20] Speaker 1: He's done it in college for three years. He can
[38:22] Speaker 1: do it for three minutes.
[38:23] Speaker 6: And how's that helping him?
[38:25] Speaker 1: In the offense, he could go in and keep... He
[38:27] Speaker 1: knows how to get offensive rebounds. He could. What do
[38:30] Speaker 1: you mean, could? He averaged a double-double in college. Is
[38:34] Speaker 1: he averaging a double-double now? Not yet. He's a rookie here.
[38:38] Speaker 1: What's his number? He's averaging 10 and 7. 10 and 7.
[38:39] Speaker 1: As a rookie. At 24 years old.
[38:40] Speaker 3: He's not supposed to be playing.
[38:41] Speaker 2: 22 years old.
[38:49] Speaker 1: He said 24. That's crazy. He would inflate that from
[38:53] Speaker 1: 22 to 24. But look, the fact that he's a
[38:56] Speaker 1: 10 and 7, he's a rookie. He went to college.
[38:58] Speaker 3: For three years.
[38:59] Speaker 1: He went to college for four years. He'll be 23
[39:01] Speaker 1: in May. He's 22 years old. I know the best rookie.
[39:02] Speaker 1: When Edie rolls to the basket.
[39:08] Speaker 1: And as a as a seasoned four-year college player, does
[39:12] Speaker 1: he not know what to do with the ball? What
[39:13] Speaker 1: do bigs in high school do when they catch the
[39:16] Speaker 1: ball in the middle of the lane? What do they
[39:19] Speaker 1: do first? Put the ball down. Come on, speak up.
[39:21] Speaker 3: Say it with your chest.
[39:23] Speaker 1: Yeah, daddy. But what is he doing? I don't care
[39:28] Speaker 1: what they did. Like, what is he doing now? So
[39:31] Speaker 1: what do we do when you learn in college? Hey,
[39:34] Speaker 1: stop him out. Get him out.
[39:35] Speaker 2: Come here.
[39:36] Speaker 1: Stop bringing the ball down.
[39:38] Speaker 6: Two years.
[39:40] Speaker 5: What is he doing now? I don't care what he
[39:42] Speaker 5: learned in college. How is it translating today?
[39:45] Speaker 1: It's translating every time you see him play. Watch the
[39:48] Speaker 1: kid play. He look like he went to college for
[39:51] Speaker 1: four years. No, he don't.
[39:52] Speaker 3: There's a rookie that came in.
[39:54] Speaker 1: The second round. There's a rookie that came in the
[39:56] Speaker 1: second round that's better than him. He's 19. Who is that?
[39:58] Speaker 1: Jalen Wells.
[40:07] Speaker 3: Forgotten them well.
[40:08] Speaker 7: Yeah.
[40:09] Speaker 2: According to the last Ricky letter, I think, came out
[40:11] Speaker 2: on the 23rd.
[40:12] Speaker 1: Who he play for? I know. Who he play for?
[40:13] Speaker 1: He was a second rounder. Who he play for? Memphis.
[40:17] Speaker 2: Same team.
[40:17] Speaker 1: Memphis. Oh, the same team.
[40:18] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[40:19] Speaker 1: Yeah. We not here. He got to sit behind John
[40:21] Speaker 1: Moret and he's still averaging 12.
[40:23] Speaker 3: He got to convince people of this shit.
[40:24] Speaker 1: That's real. We don't got to convince it. Just go
[40:26] Speaker 1: look at it.
[40:26] Speaker 2: It's real.
[40:27] Speaker 1: We're looking at it. Zach, he's 7 foot what?
[40:29] Speaker 3: Yeah. You can't teach that.
[40:32] Speaker 1: You can't teach that. You can't. And he went to
[40:35] Speaker 1: college and learned how to use that. That's the whole
[40:38] Speaker 1: point of college. Take this 7'3 dude and give him
[40:43] Speaker 1: something so we can use him when he get over here.
[40:46] Speaker 1: That's the point. Don't send him over here so we
[40:48] Speaker 1: got to teach him when he get here and we got.
[40:50] Speaker 2: Come on, man.
[40:51] Speaker 6: It's behind.
[40:51] Speaker 3: But what are we arguing?
[40:52] Speaker 4: We arguing not to go to college?
[40:54] Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I'm saying college is the way for structure. No,
[40:57] Speaker 1: we're arguing that... We're arguing that... Where's he at in
[41:01] Speaker 1: the rookie list? It's structure.
[41:03] Speaker 3: It's structure, bro.
[41:04] Speaker 2: Edie currently fifth on the list, right? He fifth? Last regularity.
[41:07] Speaker 1: Five? Not one.
[41:09] Speaker 2: Alex Sarge, number one.
[41:11] Speaker 1: 19.
[41:11] Speaker 2: Castle, two.
[41:12] Speaker 6: 19.
[41:12] Speaker 1: Jalen Wells, three. 21. Eve's Meecy, uh, four.
[41:16] Speaker 2: How does he?
[41:16] Speaker 3: I don't know.
[41:16] Speaker 2: Let me pull it up. I think he Belgium or
[41:18] Speaker 2: some shit, so... Yeah, yeah.
[41:20] Speaker 1: You don't know what that birth certificate really look like. Motherfucker,
[41:22] Speaker 1: who know all this shit that you don't got to teach?
[41:25] Speaker 1: He's 20.
[41:25] Speaker 4: 20?
[41:25] Speaker 1: Meecy's 20.
[41:25] Speaker 5: So you know all this shit you ain't got to teach.
[41:27] Speaker 1: And where's he at again?
[41:28] Speaker 2: He's fourth in the.
[41:29] Speaker 1: So he has to be at the number one in
[41:30] Speaker 1: the rookie ladder for all the shit that he know
[41:32] Speaker 1: how to do. You know that dude that knew all
[41:34] Speaker 1: the shit, would never get hired for the job because
[41:37] Speaker 1: he's somebody's cousin. Somebody's cousins always beat him out. He
[41:40] Speaker 1: got all the tools in the tool book. He know
[41:42] Speaker 1: how to do all the work. He's very efficient, right?
[41:46] Speaker 1: Don't ever get the job, though. Don't ever get to
[41:47] Speaker 1: number one. He's always at fifth, sixth of the ladder.
[41:51] Speaker 1: What's this nigga's logic, bro? What are you talking about?
[41:53] Speaker 1: You can have the tools and not be at the
[41:55] Speaker 1: top of the ladder because your team situation, your team record,
[42:01] Speaker 1: how many minutes you get, all that shit count. Yeah.
[42:06] Speaker 2: All right, well, look, we can talk about this all day.
[42:08] Speaker 1: He's playing 20 minutes. Yo's going to continue doing it.
[42:11] Speaker 3: Of course he is.
[42:12] Speaker 1: One guy's playing 20.
[42:13] Speaker 3: You know what's going on out here.
[42:14] Speaker 1: Alex Stark, number two pick.
[42:16] Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, he played more minutes, right?
[42:19] Speaker 2: He played for the Wizards, though. Yeah, ain't fight for
[42:21] Speaker 2: the wizards. They are a hot pack of mid, as
[42:23] Speaker 2: we already know.
[42:23] Speaker 6: Oh, so Jalen on his team is averaging 12. Jalen
[42:26] Speaker 6: Wells is averaging 12.
[42:27] Speaker 1: Make sure y'all highlight the fact that every time he
[42:30] Speaker 1: pick up this phone, it's dead fucking meat. Every time
[42:35] Speaker 1: I pick up my phone.
[42:37] Speaker 2: I want real facts.
[42:38] Speaker 1: I don't like feelings. I'm taking another scoop of the dirt.
[42:42] Speaker 1: I want... I want... Correction. I don't want just... We
[42:47] Speaker 1: just say shit. Let's hire somebody to do our... I
[42:50] Speaker 1: don't just say shit. Can we hire a real-time... That's wrong.
[42:56] Speaker 1: I want facts. I don't want to just say shit.
[42:58] Speaker 2: Let's keep this thing moving because we got a lot
[43:00] Speaker 2: of stuff to talk about. But, Gil, we showed the
[43:02] Speaker 2: brownie dunk earlier. We also got to show some love
[43:04] Speaker 2: to your son, Elijah. Came through with a poster of
[43:06] Speaker 2: his own when his chat work squad.
[43:08] Speaker 1: Took on Nick's alma mater, Cleveland High School, this weekend.
[43:11] Speaker 1: Let us take a look.
[43:12] Speaker 3: Show some love to Elijah.
[43:14] Speaker 1: See him bring it down.
[43:16] Speaker 6: This is an overtime.
[43:17] Speaker 3: Ooh!
[43:19] Speaker 2: Normally, my old man would show some emotion on the play.
[43:22] Speaker 1: He had to. I told him that. Look at the
[43:23] Speaker 1: crowd going crazy. Uh-oh. There it goes. There it goes.
[43:26] Speaker 1: JC the barber and who is that? Swaggy P in
[43:28] Speaker 1: the building.
[43:29] Speaker 6: Ooh!
[43:31] Speaker 1: I was going to ask you something. Oh, man, dude.
[43:34] Speaker 2: And we also got another angle of it. Look at
[43:36] Speaker 2: Swaggy's reaction in the back.
[43:38] Speaker 1: Just lean with it, rock with it.
[43:43] Speaker 6: That shit was crazy, bro.
[43:45] Speaker 1: Does the new kid with the tall kid, does he
[43:48] Speaker 1: live in your area?
[43:49] Speaker 5: I just want to ask, man, how you get to Cleveland, brother?
[43:53] Speaker 1: Oh, that African? Yeah.
[43:55] Speaker 4: Oh, man, I was saying the same thing.
[43:56] Speaker 1: Where you get this African from? That was his first game?
[43:58] Speaker 1: Y'all are cheating every time.
[43:59] Speaker 2: First game, bro.
[44:10] Speaker 6: This is first game.
[44:12] Speaker 1: They pulling Venice Beach. No, no, no, no. This is crazy.
[44:19] Speaker 1: In the middle of the season.
[44:20] Speaker 4: They do that now. You see this?
[44:22] Speaker 1: They do that now. Listen, last year, Last year, they.
[44:27] Speaker 4: Had two refs that cheated. No, it was your fault.
[44:30] Speaker 3: It was your fault.
[44:31] Speaker 1: They got kicked off of all the chapter games because
[44:34] Speaker 1: of that game.
[44:34] Speaker 4: Y'all was winning 14 the whole game.
[44:37] Speaker 1: But the last three minutes, y'all thought bullshit. That's why
[44:39] Speaker 1: I said it was your fault.
[44:41] Speaker 5: I heard.
[44:41] Speaker 4: It was Colston just laying it up, playing.
[44:43] Speaker 1: It was so easy. I heard. I heard.
[44:45] Speaker 2: Y'all got to let you know, we got to go
[44:47] Speaker 2: easy on the ref talk. I got jammed up by
[44:49] Speaker 2: one of the high school refs this weekend. I said,
[44:50] Speaker 2: I see y'all talking. talking about the refs all the time.
[44:52] Speaker 5: I said, not you, sir.
[44:54] Speaker 2: We got two of them banned.
[44:55] Speaker 1: Not you, just your colleagues. No, we got two refs.
[44:58] Speaker 1: They've been banned.
[44:58] Speaker 5: They can't do no more of Elijah's games. Out there cheating.
[45:02] Speaker 4: The last four minutes was like the best thing in
[45:04] Speaker 4: the game.
[45:05] Speaker 1: Were you at the game?
[45:06] Speaker 2: No, I was in here working on my system.
[45:08] Speaker 1: Okay. Swaggy, you were at the game. What did you
[45:10] Speaker 1: think about Elijah's dunk?
[45:12] Speaker 3: It was crazy. It came at the right time, too.
[45:14] Speaker 3: It was like overtime.
[45:17] Speaker 4: We was coming back, you know. And it was like
[45:22] Speaker 4: their team was freezing Elijah out, and he got mad, like,
[45:25] Speaker 4: fuck it, I'm going to take this into my own hands.
[45:27] Speaker 4: And I've been waiting, I was waiting for that. You know,
[45:30] Speaker 4: I was like, come on, man, dunk on this African. He,
[45:32] Speaker 4: you know, he's jumping and shit. I'm giving him the silent, like,
[45:37] Speaker 4: you know, even though I don't want us to, I
[45:40] Speaker 4: don't want them to win, but I want him to perform.
[45:41] Speaker 2: That's a real friend, though. That's a brotherhood right there.
[45:44] Speaker 4: And at least, you know, y'all going to be blowing
[45:46] Speaker 4: us out. Like, give us a show a little bit.
[45:48] Speaker 4: And then they finally came back. That's when it got fun,
[45:50] Speaker 4: you know.
[45:51] Speaker 1: All right, well, Elijah, one of.
[45:53] Speaker 2: The top-ranked high school players in the country, got a
[45:55] Speaker 2: feeling he has some big things coming. Gil, I already
[45:58] Speaker 2: know you're loving it. And as the family's unsanctioned mediator
[46:02] Speaker 2: currently trying to convince Elijah to sign this 359 deal
[46:04] Speaker 2: with my makeshift marketing agency, I'm loving it too.
[46:08] Speaker 1: But let's keep it moving.
[46:09] Speaker 2: There were some calls for concern in the arena after
[46:11] Speaker 2: the Lakers got smacked by the Clippers in their first
[46:13] Speaker 2: trip to the Intuit Dome last week. But the Purple
[46:16] Speaker 2: and Gold responded with home wins over the Wizards and
[46:18] Speaker 2: by blowing out the defending champion Celtics in primetime. And
[46:22] Speaker 2: the Lakers pulled up to the Bay on Saturday as
[46:24] Speaker 2: LeBron renewed his rivalry with Steph Curry and the Warriors,
[46:27] Speaker 2: but the Dubs were without Draymond Green and Jonathan Kaminga.
[46:30] Speaker 2: Lakers proceeded to continue their recent dominance on the chef
[46:33] Speaker 2: and what he had left. So here we go. Let's
[46:36] Speaker 2: take a look at the highlights. Anthony Davis came through
[46:37] Speaker 2: with another big time performance. AD had 36 points on
[46:41] Speaker 2: 13 for 23 shooting, along with 13 rebounds, three steals
[46:45] Speaker 2: and a block. LeBron had 25 points, 12 dimes and
[46:47] Speaker 2: five boards going 12 for 25 from the field. Austin
[46:51] Speaker 2: Reeves continued to show why he's the best third option
[46:53] Speaker 2: in the league, finishing with 16.7 dimes and five rebounds.
[46:56] Speaker 1: He was 6 for 10 from the field.
[46:58] Speaker 2: Dalton Kinnick came off the bench, added 13 points, getting
[47:01] Speaker 2: three threes in the game. And Jerry Vanderbilt, Vando, as
[47:04] Speaker 2: we call him, made his presence felt in his season debut.
[47:07] Speaker 2: Four rebounds, three steals, two assists, and his 12 minutes
[47:10] Speaker 2: of action was big on the defensive side. Meanwhile, let's
[47:13] Speaker 2: talk a little bit about the Warriors. Steph had 13
[47:15] Speaker 2: points in the first half and proceeded to put a
[47:17] Speaker 2: donut in the second half. thanks to a spirited defensive
[47:21] Speaker 2: effort from the Purple and Gold. Andrew Wiggins led the
[47:24] Speaker 2: Warriors with 20 points on 9 and 15 shooting. And
[47:26] Speaker 2: Brandon Budzinski came off the bench, added 17 points in
[47:30] Speaker 2: the game. So the Lakers have now won five of
[47:33] Speaker 2: their last six games, 25 and 18 on the season.
[47:39] Speaker 2: So get rid of the Lakers showing you in these
[47:41] Speaker 2: last two games against the Celtics and the Warriors. We
[47:43] Speaker 2: were watching the Warriors game on playback, had a very
[47:46] Speaker 2: enjoyable playback watch party. Shout out to Lowell Goldblooded. The
[47:49] Speaker 2: rest of the crew pulled up. Famous Lowe's came through
[47:51] Speaker 2: for a little bit.
[47:52] Speaker 5: I mean, they show signs of, you know, they show
[47:55] Speaker 5: signs of dominance. And they show signs of, it seems
[48:01] Speaker 5: like they don't know what's going on, you know, and
[48:03] Speaker 5: that's been the problem.
[48:05] Speaker 6: We got Vando back, though. Yeah, no, no, he did very,
[48:07] Speaker 6: very well.
[48:08] Speaker 5: I can't believe I was happy that Vando came back
[48:10] Speaker 5: to give us four points, three rebounds.
[48:12] Speaker 2: Whatever he gave us, it just looks better, right?
[48:15] Speaker 1: Because his extra hustle, his extra... intensity just it just
[48:21] Speaker 1: it looks a lot better when he's on the floor
[48:23] Speaker 1: and that's crazy to say um.
[48:27] Speaker 2: Um realistic we've been talking about Vando's return for a
[48:30] Speaker 2: while how that would help boost the Lakers Rui Hachimor
[48:32] Speaker 2: did not play in the game leading some in the
[48:35] Speaker 2: Lakers nation to speculate that uh he might not make
[48:38] Speaker 2: it through Black History Month but that is another story.
[48:42] Speaker 5: Um but I mean everyone you know everyone look they
[48:46] Speaker 5: look better You know, and that's the good part, that
[48:50] Speaker 5: they got four quarters, they put them together for the
[48:52] Speaker 5: first time in a while, and they got a win
[48:54] Speaker 5: against a great Celtics team.
[48:56] Speaker 1: Yep.
[48:57] Speaker 2: Also defeated the Warriors, who are trash, but that's a
[48:59] Speaker 2: rivalry game, prime time.
[49:01] Speaker 1: ABC Saturday. We're not worried about the Warriors, man. The
[49:03] Speaker 1: Warriors gave their best effort. The Warriors are getting beat
[49:05] Speaker 1: by their coach right now, so we good. They used
[49:06] Speaker 1: to say it was definitely. We don't worry about that.
[49:08] Speaker 1: They said it was 30s era.
[49:10] Speaker 5: Sometimes, you know, sometimes the battle is not the opponent.
[49:13] Speaker 5: Sometimes the battle is in-house.
[49:17] Speaker 2: Brandon, as a former Lakers fan, making your way back
[49:19] Speaker 2: on to the bandwagon, slowly but surely, what do you
[49:23] Speaker 2: think about this Lakers squad and their recent success, 25-18,
[49:25] Speaker 2: fifth in the West?
[49:28] Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, mediocre. It's fine. Man, I still think
[49:34] Speaker 6: the Clippers are the best team right now.
[49:36] Speaker 1: Well, no, we're not talking about the Clippers. Not according
[49:38] Speaker 1: to the standing.
[49:39] Speaker 6: I know, but we should talk about the Clippers.
[49:40] Speaker 1: What's up with your Warriors?
[49:41] Speaker 2: We're going to talk about the Clippers a little bit.
[49:43] Speaker 1: What's up with your Warriors?
[49:44] Speaker 6: Steph is playing without a number two option.
[49:46] Speaker 1: No, you got a number two. Buddy Hill, y'all got
[49:49] Speaker 1: rid of y'all.
[49:50] Speaker 5: Number two and broke another two. Unfortunately, he's coming off
[49:52] Speaker 5: the bench. That's just a personal problem. They got Steph
[49:55] Speaker 5: over there.
[49:55] Speaker 6: Dying by himself.
[49:56] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[49:57] Speaker 6: Fight for my life.
[49:58] Speaker 1: It's like.
[49:58] Speaker 6: You got Steph over there dying by herself and then
[50:01] Speaker 6: you got AD over here crying about.
[50:03] Speaker 2: It's like Call of Duty.
[50:04] Speaker 1: Like, it's... Like, what's going on? It's like Call of Duty, man. Like,
[50:07] Speaker 1: what's going on? Like, you got.
[50:09] Speaker 6: You supposed to be the number one option.
[50:11] Speaker 1: You over here complaining.
[50:11] Speaker 3: I need help.
[50:13] Speaker 1: Yeah. You need more help. You've taken a backseat to
[50:15] Speaker 1: a 40... Get him some milk. AD, 36 and 13?
[50:18] Speaker 1: They both saying they need help. Get him some milk.
[50:20] Speaker 1: I'm just saying, unfortunately, y'all second. They both need help?
[50:23] Speaker 1: Y'all second option. A 40-year-old? A 40-year-old at AD?
[50:26] Speaker 5: Y'all bringing y'all second options off the bench?
[50:28] Speaker 1: That's just, that ain't.
[50:29] Speaker 6: Our problem right now.
[50:30] Speaker 3: Right?
[50:31] Speaker 1: You know? Hey, Brandon, they need help.
[50:33] Speaker 6: The top five.
[50:34] Speaker 1: What's his name?
[50:35] Speaker 6: Is AD supposed to be a top five big?
[50:36] Speaker 1: I thought he was a top three. Is AD a
[50:39] Speaker 1: top three big in the NBA right now? Who?
[50:41] Speaker 6: Is AD a top three big?
[50:42] Speaker 1: Yes.
[50:42] Speaker 2: Always. Yeah.
[50:42] Speaker 3: Okay.
[50:44] Speaker 1: How much help do you need?
[50:45] Speaker 2: One of the best fours in the league.
[50:47] Speaker 6: I mean, you got the best number third option. You
[50:49] Speaker 6: got arguably the greatest player to ever play the game.
[50:51] Speaker 1: We're not saying he needs help. And you got J.J.
[50:54] Speaker 6: Y'all went and had wine with him and had a
[50:57] Speaker 6: whole podcast.
[50:58] Speaker 1: Go get his ass. We're not saying he needs help.
[51:02] Speaker 5: He's saying they need to bring in a five so
[51:04] Speaker 5: he can go to the four, which I'm still.
[51:08] Speaker 1: Confused with that.
[51:10] Speaker 5: Because you're playing against five men, which are a lot faster,
[51:15] Speaker 5: and I'm thinking you want to go against.
[51:17] Speaker 6: The fours because you're bigger.
[51:20] Speaker 2: That's what I'm starting to think.
[51:21] Speaker 1: Yeah, he wants to duck the slow. He wants to
[51:24] Speaker 1: go against the four so you can post them all up.
[51:26] Speaker 4: Yes.
[51:27] Speaker 5: And the five, you got to take them all to dribble,
[51:28] Speaker 5: and I don't think that's part of your game. So
[51:30] Speaker 5: I think you want to go against the fours.
[51:32] Speaker 1: Well, we won when we had a five.
[51:34] Speaker 2: No, no, no.
[51:35] Speaker 3: We won when we had a five.
[51:36] Speaker 1: No facts. No facts.
[51:37] Speaker 5: I'm just thinking how he's playing the game. Your advantage
[51:41] Speaker 5: against the five is because you get the dribble. I
[51:43] Speaker 5: don't know if you want to do all that because
[51:44] Speaker 5: you get them tighter. I think you want the fours
[51:46] Speaker 5: to guard you so you can just beat them up
[51:48] Speaker 5: in the post.
[51:49] Speaker 2: But what does that do with LeBron?
[51:50] Speaker 3: I got a question. Is LeBron the number one option?
[51:55] Speaker 1: Yeah. 40 years old. Fortunately. Senior citizen. So LeBron is
[52:01] Speaker 1: the number one option.
[52:03] Speaker 2: All right.
[52:04] Speaker 1: Shout out to my boy Banks818. Told me to ask Gil. No,
[52:08] Speaker 1: he didn't. How come they say Tatum is the number
[52:11] Speaker 1: one option on Boston because he leads them in all categories?
[52:15] Speaker 1: But at the same time, they say Bryan is the
[52:17] Speaker 1: number one option, but AD leads them in every single category.
[52:21] Speaker 1: AD leads them in assists? Except, and he says, besides assists.
[52:25] Speaker 2: Okay, so he's the number one option.
[52:31] Speaker 1: So, AD's the number one option.
[52:32] Speaker 6: So that's why y'all trash.
[52:34] Speaker 1: Exactly.
[52:36] Speaker 3: Thank you, my brother.
[52:37] Speaker 1: Thank you, my brother. Thank you, my brother. That's why
[52:41] Speaker 1: they can't get it over the hump. So they need
[52:44] Speaker 1: a number one option. So we're trashed because 80 is
[52:47] Speaker 1: our number one option? When they change the number one
[52:49] Speaker 1: option for Boston, what happens? They won the championship.
[52:53] Speaker 6: They won the championship.
[52:55] Speaker 1: They've never changed. They've never changed. They've never changed. So wait, wait, wait. Yeah!
[53:02] Speaker 1: You don't remember? You didn't see the game when they
[53:04] Speaker 1: changed it?
[53:04] Speaker 3: They was like, yeah, we're going to take your lead now.
[53:06] Speaker 1: Wait, I know you're clapping. What are you clapping for?
[53:08] Speaker 1: So are you saying... Are you saying Anthony Davis is
[53:11] Speaker 1: the number one option?
[53:12] Speaker 4: I don't get it. Taylor's still laying it on the table.
[53:14] Speaker 1: No, hold on. Are you saying Anthony Davis is the
[53:17] Speaker 1: number one option? I'm just saying when y'all ask it
[53:19] Speaker 1: for help, it makes no sense when you got Batman
[53:22] Speaker 1: and Superman. So who is Superman? Anthony Davis. Whichever.
[53:26] Speaker 5: So Anthony Davis is Superman and LeBron James is Batman now.
[53:30] Speaker 1: 40-year-old Batman.
[53:32] Speaker 5: So you're saying we're not going to win because Anthony
[53:34] Speaker 5: Davis or we're going to win because Anthony Davis?
[53:36] Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out.
[53:37] Speaker 1: You kind of haven't won because of both of them. No, no, no.
[53:40] Speaker 1: You read that for a reason. So we're saying if
[53:43] Speaker 1: Anthony Davis leads in everything, then he's the number one option.
[53:46] Speaker 1: So I'm saying, so we should be winning now? No,
[53:50] Speaker 1: y'all were... When he leads, y'all win. Okay, so he's leading.
[53:54] Speaker 1: Are we winning? No. Y'all still trash. 25 and 18, Sean.
[53:57] Speaker 2: I'm getting fifth in the West.
[53:59] Speaker 3: You said when he.
[54:00] Speaker 1: When he leads, he wins. When LeBron not on the floor.
[54:05] Speaker 3: So you're saying get rid of LeBron.
[54:06] Speaker 1: LeBron not on the floor. The team got flowed.
[54:10] Speaker 3: Nah, I done seen them just go to work this week.
[54:12] Speaker 1: Hey, listen, I'm just saying, it's good to have a
[54:14] Speaker 1: LeBron James on the team. Now, you can't say it's
[54:17] Speaker 1: not a good thing to not have 25-5. I'm confused.
[54:20] Speaker 1: Can't say that's not a good thing. But to win
[54:23] Speaker 1: for the Lakers, for the number one option to have
[54:26] Speaker 1: the keys... Anthony Davis. You got to find some other
[54:30] Speaker 1: pieces besides this piece for you guys to win.
[54:32] Speaker 3: That's all.
[54:33] Speaker 6: Okay, so basically Anthony Davis needs to go up to
[54:36] Speaker 6: the front office and tell them, man, get rid.
[54:38] Speaker 1: Of this dude. Let's get some pieces in here while
[54:39] Speaker 1: we still got him here. We still got him here.
[54:42] Speaker 6: Let's get rid of this nigga and get some pieces.
[54:44] Speaker 1: He needs to go up there and tell them. So
[54:45] Speaker 1: who was the number one option last year? Who led
[54:49] Speaker 1: all the categories? I mean, I don't know. That was
[54:51] Speaker 1: for this year. That was the question for this year. Okay,
[54:53] Speaker 1: so what I'm saying is whoever was... Number one option
[54:56] Speaker 1: last year.
[54:57] Speaker 5: If we transferred and he's the number one option this year,
[55:01] Speaker 5: we should win a championship and everything should ride on
[55:03] Speaker 5: him like you said Boston.
[55:04] Speaker 1: Did, right?
[55:05] Speaker 2: No, I'm not saying it's going to work. So, Bron
[55:06] Speaker 2: led the team in scoring last year, 26 points a game.
[55:09] Speaker 2: Also took the most shot attempts. One more field goal.
[55:11] Speaker 1: Attempt in AD. Okay, so Anthony Davis led in everything else?
[55:14] Speaker 1: AD led in rebounds, I believe. Rebounds.
[55:16] Speaker 5: And then Bron led in assists. Okay, so Bron was
[55:19] Speaker 5: number one option last year. AD's number one option. He
[55:22] Speaker 5: should win the championship.
[55:23] Speaker 2: Hell yeah.
[55:24] Speaker 5: So that means you can't blame Brown for nothing no
[55:26] Speaker 5: more because Andy Davis is the head.
[55:28] Speaker 1: Hell yeah. That's what I'm talking about. We don't need
[55:34] Speaker 1: no more LeBron slander, y'all. Andy Davis is the head honcho, baby.
[55:39] Speaker 1: This is like 0-2-0-3 when Kobe took the lead. I
[55:43] Speaker 1: got it. Yes. He seemed not to get the little
[55:46] Speaker 1: stuff off his... Did you get him a napkin or something?
[55:48] Speaker 1: You read it.
[55:50] Speaker 3: Get him a little napkin.
[55:51] Speaker 1: She really went to go do it.
[55:52] Speaker 6: No, what I'm saying is you read it.
[55:54] Speaker 1: That was your question.
[55:55] Speaker 3: Just get him a little napkin, man.
[55:57] Speaker 1: That was your question, right? You read the question. It
[55:59] Speaker 1: just didn't go the way you thought it was going
[56:00] Speaker 1: to go. You thought I was going to say yes.
[56:02] Speaker 1: LeBron is the number one option. You're saying we can't
[56:04] Speaker 1: blame LeBron, and you cheered.
[56:06] Speaker 3: That was weird.
[56:07] Speaker 5: I'm saying you can't blame him. It's Anthony Davis now.
[56:08] Speaker 5: So we don't want to hear no more LeBron slams.
[56:10] Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about the current number one option on
[56:12] Speaker 2: the Lakers, Anthony Davis, before the Celtics game. That's who
[56:17] Speaker 2: we just ordained as the number one option.
[56:18] Speaker 1: That's a rebuttal. I got him with his own shit, right?
[56:24] Speaker 2: We just ordained AD. We just ordained AD as the
[56:27] Speaker 2: number one option. He officially has the keys. But before
[56:29] Speaker 2: the Celtics game, ESPN dropped an interview with AD and Shams.
[56:32] Speaker 3: I love it. I love it.
[56:34] Speaker 1: He doesn't understand. He hates you right now.
[56:36] Speaker 6: Give me some tissue.
[56:40] Speaker 1: She said, hey.
[56:41] Speaker 3: I said Krista.
[56:42] Speaker 1: I swear.
[56:43] Speaker 2: Okay.
[56:44] Speaker 3: He did say Krista.
[56:45] Speaker 1: I did say Krista.
[56:47] Speaker 2: Uh-oh.
[56:47] Speaker 1: See?
[56:48] Speaker 6: I heard Christian.
[56:49] Speaker 1: What'd I say? We beefing in the arena.
[56:51] Speaker 2: But before the Celtics game, ESPN dropped an interview with
[56:53] Speaker 2: AD and Shams with Davis, once again saying he wants
[56:56] Speaker 2: the Lakers to bring in a solid five so he
[56:58] Speaker 2: can play his preferred position at the four spot. And
[57:01] Speaker 2: after that game, AD went deeper on why he's at
[57:03] Speaker 2: his best when he's.
[57:04] Speaker 1: Playing the four.
[57:05] Speaker 2: Let's take a listen.
[57:06] Speaker 8: Well, defensively, just bringing out the big out there. You know,
[57:10] Speaker 8: we've seen it with Jackson. A little bit more disruptive. Offensively,
[57:14] Speaker 8: just allows me to float around a little bit more.
[57:17] Speaker 8: I only started playing at five in 2021. I have stretches,
[57:25] Speaker 8: you know, but I was primarily four. So my whole career,
[57:29] Speaker 8: you know, I've been playing the four. So we've seen how,
[57:35] Speaker 8: you know, I play. I just feel like a little
[57:36] Speaker 8: bit more effective. I may have just advantages and disadvantages. But,
[57:40] Speaker 8: I mean, the front office knows that. I've been telling
[57:43] Speaker 8: them that every year I've been here.
[57:45] Speaker 1: So it's nothing new.
[57:46] Speaker 8: But I just feel like I'm... It's like, personally, I'm
[57:54] Speaker 8: a better player at the four.
[57:57] Speaker 2: So AD said, personally, I'm a better player at the four.
[57:59] Speaker 2: He said the front office knows that he's told him
[58:01] Speaker 2: that y'all need to bring in a legit five so
[58:03] Speaker 2: I can stop having all that workload at the five position.
[58:07] Speaker 2: You guys understand AD's frustration with the Lakers front office
[58:10] Speaker 2: for not bringing in a solid five. We've talked about
[58:12] Speaker 2: it on this show. How tall is AD?
[58:15] Speaker 1: About 6'11. He got Bambi legs, though.
[58:20] Speaker 6: Yeah, okay.
[58:23] Speaker 1: He said he started playing in 2021? The five, primarily.
[58:26] Speaker 1: And we ain't hearing shit till 2025? He voiced his
[58:29] Speaker 1: concerns previously.
[58:31] Speaker 3: He did, he did.
[58:32] Speaker 1: He asked previously.
[58:33] Speaker 3: He did.
[58:34] Speaker 1: He did?
[58:35] Speaker 4: But what's wrong with somebody wanting to play their actual position, though?
[58:38] Speaker 1: I don't get it. But what is his actual.
[58:42] Speaker 3: He always played the four.
[58:42] Speaker 5: He said he's playing better as a four-man than as
[58:46] Speaker 5: a five.
[58:48] Speaker 1: And.
[58:48] Speaker 5: the stats say otherwise.
[58:53] Speaker 3: Clearly.
[58:54] Speaker 1: Clearly.
[58:55] Speaker 8: Clearly.
[58:56] Speaker 1: Wait, did y'all just agree? No, no, no. We understand
[58:59] Speaker 1: with him when it comes to how he plays.
[59:01] Speaker 5: Like, bro, your best percentages have been.
[59:05] Speaker 1: Throughout your career has been at the five. In New Orleans. 53%, right?
[59:11] Speaker 3: 56%, 55%, 52%.
[59:11] Speaker 1: Before that, he was shooting 49. He started to get
[59:13] Speaker 1: into that. But before that, they had the... He was
[59:15] Speaker 1: playing power four. No, but what I'm saying, as a center,
[59:17] Speaker 1: as a center... 53%.
[59:28] Speaker 5: From the field, 56% from the field, 55 and 52.
[59:32] Speaker 5: Before that, 49, 50, 51, 53, 50, 49. Like, you
[59:39] Speaker 5: didn't start averaging a double-double until you went to the
[59:41] Speaker 5: center spot. 12 rebounds, 12 rebounds, 12 rebounds this year.
[59:45] Speaker 1: Before that, 9, 7, 8 rebounds? Okay, 9, 8, 9. What?
[59:57] Speaker 4: That's like somebody telling you you're going to play the three.
[1:00:00] Speaker 4: You're still going to produce out there.
[1:00:01] Speaker 6: What's that?
[1:00:02] Speaker 4: You're still going to do your thing, but you ain't
[1:00:04] Speaker 4: playing in the position.
[1:00:06] Speaker 1: What's the difference between Paul George saying he bored at
[1:00:09] Speaker 1: the five and Anthony Davis saying I need more help
[1:00:13] Speaker 1: because I don't want to play the five?
[1:00:14] Speaker 4: He's not saying he need more help. He's saying he
[1:00:16] Speaker 4: just need a center. He don't want to play the five.
[1:00:18] Speaker 1: Huh? Anybody?
[1:00:20] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[1:00:21] Speaker 3: You want anybody at the five?
[1:00:22] Speaker 1: Yes. They could have got Valachunas. At the five, let
[1:00:29] Speaker 1: him skate. Because we feel like you play better. At
[1:00:34] Speaker 1: the five. We feel like you produce better for us
[1:00:37] Speaker 1: at the five.
[1:00:37] Speaker 4: But how is the owner going to tell me how
[1:00:39] Speaker 4: he feel about my position?
[1:00:41] Speaker 1: Because we're watching your numbers.
[1:00:43] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:00:44] Speaker 1: We like the way you sing like this. Sing it
[1:00:46] Speaker 1: like I tell you to sing it, Anna Mae. But
[1:00:48] Speaker 1: we won when I was a four. I think you
[1:00:50] Speaker 1: need an instructor to sing the four. Sing it like
[1:00:52] Speaker 1: I tell you to sing it. I don't think it's offensively.
[1:00:54] Speaker 2: I think defensively.
[1:00:55] Speaker 1: They went in a bubble, though. I don't know. It
[1:00:57] Speaker 1: don't count. That bubble shit don't count. I think defensively,
[1:01:00] Speaker 1: he likes the 5 better.
[1:01:02] Speaker 3: 100%.
[1:01:02] Speaker 1: It reminds me of Ben Wallace, when Ben Wallace was
[1:01:07] Speaker 1: at the 5, right?
[1:01:10] Speaker 5: It made him work harder, even though he was effective.
[1:01:14] Speaker 1: It made him work harder, and I don't.
[1:01:17] Speaker 5: Think he felt he could control the game at the 5.
[1:01:21] Speaker 5: When they put Rashid at the 5 and him at
[1:01:23] Speaker 5: the 4... he was more efficient.
[1:01:27] Speaker 2: Just all around, he became more dangerous.
[1:01:29] Speaker 5: Even though his numbers didn't spike, defensively, Rashid back there
[1:01:33] Speaker 5: and Ben Wallace cleaning up everything.
[1:01:35] Speaker 6: It kind of made him a lot better.
[1:01:37] Speaker 1: I get that part. Realistically, for AD, he wants more
[1:01:41] Speaker 1: freedom to roam, which allows you to be more lazy. Right?
[1:01:47] Speaker 1: Think about what I'm saying, though. At the five, you
[1:01:49] Speaker 1: got to stay engaged at the five at all times.
[1:01:51] Speaker 1: All that running up into the pick and roll, that's
[1:01:54] Speaker 1: five-man shit. Now, if you're going to run AD into
[1:01:57] Speaker 1: a pick and roll, he could switch that E. That's
[1:01:58] Speaker 1: a switch right there. It's more of a prone to
[1:02:01] Speaker 1: drop back in the drop coverage for AD, then go
[1:02:03] Speaker 1: back and try to find a rebound, then close out
[1:02:05] Speaker 1: to the weak side. He's doing a lot of running around.
[1:02:08] Speaker 4: But why are we going away from what what made
[1:02:11] Speaker 4: us win, though. Why are we taking a step back?
[1:02:14] Speaker 4: Why are we winning with this team, with big-ass lineup,
[1:02:17] Speaker 4: with the White AD or JaVale AD, LeBron, but.
[1:02:20] Speaker 1: The next year... That was the bubble. That was fake.
[1:02:24] Speaker 1: Somebody said, I don't need them no more. Mr. Big,
[1:02:27] Speaker 1: somebody said, I don't need them no more, and I
[1:02:30] Speaker 1: don't want them taking credit for me getting this chip
[1:02:33] Speaker 1: for this city. They're not about to get credit for this.
[1:02:35] Speaker 1: White Hart got to go. God, get out of here.
[1:02:37] Speaker 1: I got y'all one. The bubble. The rest of this
[1:02:39] Speaker 1: on me. The world was.
[1:02:40] Speaker 3: The rest of this on me.
[1:02:42] Speaker 2: Middle of a pandemic, the hardest championship in NBA history,
[1:02:44] Speaker 2: you're saying, was a fake ring.
[1:02:46] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:02:46] Speaker 2: We still pushing that narrative?
[1:02:48] Speaker 1: Yep. 2025. Fake.
[1:02:49] Speaker 2: So then why didn't everybody else win?
[1:02:50] Speaker 3: Everybody else was in it.
[1:02:52] Speaker 1: Nobody else was in it. Everybody was at home.
[1:02:54] Speaker 2: So they're not winners?
[1:02:54] Speaker 1: It was real life shit going on.
[1:02:56] Speaker 3: Nobody, no, you didn't even have fans.
[1:02:58] Speaker 1: You didn't even have fans.
[1:02:59] Speaker 4: You're the only ones that was locked in.
[1:03:01] Speaker 1: You didn't even have fans.
[1:03:02] Speaker 3: Nobody else was locked in. Nobody else was locked.
[1:03:04] Speaker 6: In, bro.
[1:03:05] Speaker 2: So shouldn't that be a testament to the Lakers greatness
[1:03:07] Speaker 2: that they can lock in despite everything going on in
[1:03:09] Speaker 2: the world?
[1:03:10] Speaker 1: Nope. They just knew we could steal one. This is
[1:03:13] Speaker 1: the Italian job.
[1:03:15] Speaker 3: They're like, we about to steal one in here. We
[1:03:16] Speaker 3: got to steal one.
[1:03:17] Speaker 2: Oh, Lord.
[1:03:18] Speaker 1: Now, you know, LeBron got that mama mentality. He got
[1:03:22] Speaker 1: the who? He got the what mentality? Mama. He was
[1:03:25] Speaker 1: locked in. Nobody else was.
[1:03:26] Speaker 3: That's what you're saying.
[1:03:27] Speaker 1: Uh-uh.
[1:03:28] Speaker 3: I wasn't saying that. I'm saying everybody else was locked out.
[1:03:32] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. And he had the VIP key
[1:03:35] Speaker 1: to the little suite that only certain motherfuckers would get into.
[1:03:38] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Everybody was locked out. You can't kill.
[1:03:41] Speaker 1: I ain't in that bubble. He had his own air.
[1:03:42] Speaker 1: He had his own air. Nice-ass gel, basically. I'm not
[1:03:45] Speaker 1: breathing basic bitch air.
[1:03:46] Speaker 4: Hey, don't you bring that bullshit air in here.
[1:04:00] Speaker 3: Ron had his own.
[1:04:01] Speaker 1: Hair out there, man.
[1:04:03] Speaker 4: But when he played, everybody else had the same hair.
[1:04:06] Speaker 2: So back to this AD5 discussion with the Lakers. Lakers
[1:04:08] Speaker 2: have been linked to several bigs around the league, including
[1:04:11] Speaker 2: Walker Kessler, Valanchunas, Vucevic, Miles Turner is a name that's
[1:04:14] Speaker 2: kind of lingering in the cut. And it appears Nurk
[1:04:17] Speaker 2: may be on his way out. For Utah, big boy
[1:04:19] Speaker 2: for Utah?
[1:04:20] Speaker 1: He'd be perfect.
[1:04:21] Speaker 2: Pierce, Nurk may be on his way out after getting
[1:04:23] Speaker 2: benched by the Suns.
[1:04:24] Speaker 1: Who? Nurk.
[1:04:25] Speaker 2: To him and Budenhoser. They're rocking with each other. So,
[1:04:31] Speaker 2: which big man makes the most sense for this Lakers roster?
[1:04:33] Speaker 2: Lakers fans seem to want Walker Kessler. As you know,
[1:04:36] Speaker 2: Danny Ainge drives a very hard bargain. He's going to
[1:04:38] Speaker 2: need about 37 first-round picks.
[1:04:40] Speaker 3: Kessler's big. He's like Mark Eaton.
[1:04:42] Speaker 2: Kessler, Conley Sexton.
[1:04:43] Speaker 3: That's how he is with him right now. Utah's trying
[1:04:45] Speaker 3: to get rid of everybody.
[1:04:47] Speaker 5: I mean.
[1:04:49] Speaker 3: You need a hard-nosed player.
[1:04:50] Speaker 6: They got to get Jordan out of there.
[1:04:52] Speaker 1: We need somebody mobile knowing they're going to be in
[1:04:53] Speaker 1: the pick and roll.
[1:04:54] Speaker 6: Harkestown.
[1:04:55] Speaker 1: Yeah, he mobile.
[1:04:55] Speaker 3: Harkestown.
[1:04:56] Speaker 2: That would have been fucking great.
[1:04:57] Speaker 1: But he like Harkestown, though. He just like Harkestown, bro.
[1:05:01] Speaker 1: He don't be playing like that. I don't know how
[1:05:04] Speaker 1: many minutes he average, but.
[1:05:05] Speaker 3: They take Legos.
[1:05:06] Speaker 1: Who? Legos? We'll take Legos.
[1:05:08] Speaker 3: You want Legos?
[1:05:09] Speaker 1: We'll take Legos. Don't do that.
[1:05:12] Speaker 6: Oh, no, no.
[1:05:13] Speaker 1: He's going to fashion show all the way to the arena.
[1:05:16] Speaker 1: You're talking about Hollywood, boy. Some people can't come to LA.
[1:05:19] Speaker 3: Miles cannot come to fucking LA.
[1:05:21] Speaker 1: Hell, no. He will never show up.
[1:05:23] Speaker 6: They said he was fucking like.
[1:05:24] Speaker 1: Who? Miles... Miles would never show up to the game.
[1:05:27] Speaker 1: He'd be at the motherfucking art galleries and all kinds
[1:05:30] Speaker 1: of shit.
[1:05:30] Speaker 3: Grown man can't play with Legos.
[1:05:31] Speaker 1: With some glasses on, looking at shit, nigga.
[1:05:34] Speaker 6: I mean, you know, you're building Legos.
[1:05:37] Speaker 5: Hey, I'm not even going to lie. Sometimes I'd be
[1:05:40] Speaker 5: watching and people would be building Legos and doing puzzles
[1:05:43] Speaker 5: and shit.
[1:05:44] Speaker 1: I'd be like, man, you really got to be like, really.
[1:05:49] Speaker 5: mentally calm to sit here.
[1:05:52] Speaker 1: For hours on hours.
[1:05:53] Speaker 2: Just focused on that.
[1:05:55] Speaker 1: That is just crazy in itself. It's like the Hannibal.
[1:05:59] Speaker 1: He crazy.
[1:06:01] Speaker 2: So we asked the chat, where should Lakers play AD? 80%
[1:06:05] Speaker 2: said the four, 20% said the five. But back to
[1:06:09] Speaker 2: that point, who do you think would be the best
[1:06:11] Speaker 2: fit for the Lakers? You like Walker?
[1:06:12] Speaker 1: I like Walker. Miles Turner? Walker. Walker. Vooch, Nurk. There's
[1:06:16] Speaker 1: a lot of options out there.
[1:06:17] Speaker 3: I say Miles and Vooch.
[1:06:19] Speaker 1: Valanchunas. LeBron did baptize them. I mean, I think Wendell

[1:11:43] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[1:11:43] Speaker 1: It was at Grant, though. You know how they used
[1:11:45] Speaker 1: to look at us back in the day. It was
[1:11:47] Speaker 1: a Mexican school.
[1:11:47] Speaker 3: It was a Mexican school, for sure.
[1:11:51] Speaker 1: Looking good. That's crazy.
[1:11:53] Speaker 2: Looking good in the McDonald's fit.

[1:12:09] Speaker 2: on ESPN. It said undecided by your name, college basketball world.
[1:12:13] Speaker 2: You're waiting on your decision. I don't want to know
[1:12:15] Speaker 2: where you're going, but I want to know who's in
[1:12:16] Speaker 2: your top five right now.
[1:12:17] Speaker 1: Who's in your top five?
[1:12:18] Speaker 2: And when are you planning on making your selection?
[1:12:20] Speaker 3: It better be somebody over here.
[1:12:21] Speaker 4: Top five, I got, I'd say USC, Arizona, Kentucky, Louisville,
[1:12:28] Speaker 4: and Kansas.
[1:12:29] Speaker 2: Okay, there's a school I did not hear mentioned in
[1:12:31] Speaker 2: that top five. As I previously told you, working on
[1:12:34] Speaker 2: your NIL bread, got it up to $ 618. Three pints
[1:12:37] Speaker 2: of ice cream. We are still working on it. Shout
[1:12:41] Speaker 2: out to the UCLA Bruins. But we got two McDonald's
[1:12:44] Speaker 2: All-Americans here on the couch. You guys are the OGs
[1:12:47] Speaker 2: when it comes to the Mickey D's game. What advice
[1:12:48] Speaker 2: would you give to Elijah on playing in the McDonald's
[1:12:50] Speaker 2: game and how can he flourish playing amongst all those
[1:12:53] Speaker 2: other star high school players?
[1:12:55] Speaker 1: For me, have fun.
[1:12:57] Speaker 6: Oh, man, you're playing against, you know, the greats. that's
[1:13:01] Speaker 6: in your class. You're going to see these guys in
[1:13:02] Speaker 6: a couple years.
[1:13:03] Speaker 1: In college, in the NBA.
[1:13:05] Speaker 6: It's a good time when you're getting those practices to show,
[1:13:08] Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, separate yourself from everybody. But
[1:13:12] Speaker 6: have fun, man. Have fun. All your hard work that
[1:13:13] Speaker 6: you put in, you know, getting in the gym with
[1:13:15] Speaker 6: your dad, you know, you should be very proud of
[1:13:18] Speaker 6: yourself right now.
[1:13:19] Speaker 1: Thank you. Mr.
[1:13:24] Speaker 2: Cemetery Larry. I was eating a french fry. I ain't
[1:13:26] Speaker 2: going front. I ain't going front. If he don't go.
[1:13:29] Speaker 1: 23 or better, you can't really talk to me. I'm
[1:13:32] Speaker 1: going to be disappointed. 23 or better.
[1:13:35] Speaker 3: That's how much I have.
[1:13:36] Speaker 1: You ain't getting more than me.
[1:13:38] Speaker 3: I'm looking at you like I look at your daddy.
[1:13:42] Speaker 1: Can't beat me. Can't beat me. Can't beat me.
[1:13:48] Speaker 2: You got to get more than 23. You have our
[1:13:50] Speaker 2: stats from the game? I can pull it up. You
[1:13:52] Speaker 2: had a lot of dimes. You had the flat top
[1:13:54] Speaker 2: from Namaste. Yeah, that was my marketing.
[1:13:57] Speaker 1: In what?
[1:13:57] Speaker 2: In Milwaukee from Namaste?
[1:13:58] Speaker 1: Yeah, Milwaukee.
[1:13:59] Speaker 3: How much you had?
[1:14:01] Speaker 4: I didn't play basketball until I was 20.
[1:14:05] Speaker 3: Oh, damn. So I just made it off.
[1:14:07] Speaker 1: Until he was 20. Oh, you just snuck on campus?
[1:14:10] Speaker 3: Yeah, just snuck on campus.
[1:14:11] Speaker 5: Technically, technically, they should call me the McDonald's killer.
[1:14:18] Speaker 1: Every player that was in there, just in the league,
[1:14:22] Speaker 1: I gave them work.
[1:14:24] Speaker 3: Tell them.
[1:14:25] Speaker 1: I gave them work. I mean, yeah. I had to
[1:14:27] Speaker 1: look at the list, like, wait a minute.
[1:14:28] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[1:14:29] Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, I didn't play high school ball until
[1:14:32] Speaker 1: my junior year.
[1:14:33] Speaker 3: So I didn't play high school ball until my junior year.
[1:14:36] Speaker 3: I didn't play in the first year. That was plenty
[1:14:37] Speaker 3: of time. Why? That was plenty of time.
[1:14:39] Speaker 1: Me in jail? I didn't like school. Oh, I'm like, what's... Like,
[1:14:44] Speaker 1: where were you? No, I'm just saying, where were you?
[1:14:47] Speaker 1: Junior year. I didn't talk about my junior year.
[1:14:49] Speaker 3: So, and then.
[1:14:51] Speaker 4: And then I got accepted to, like, the Nike and
[1:14:54] Speaker 4: ABCD shit.
[1:14:54] Speaker 3: I didn't know what it was, so I didn't go
[1:14:56] Speaker 3: to none of that.
[1:14:57] Speaker 6: Oh, that's why you had to fight for.
[1:14:58] Speaker 1: Shit might mess up your game. We can't have it.
[1:15:00] Speaker 2: So, Brandon, in the McDonald's game, you had 12 points,
[1:15:02] Speaker 2: 9 assists. Just throwing it out. Elijah, what are you
[1:15:04] Speaker 2: most excited? Are you going to come out there trying
[1:15:06] Speaker 2: to distribute the ball? Are you going to come out
[1:15:08] Speaker 2: there trying to cook? They're pulling it right now. Shot,
[1:15:11] Speaker 2: you had 22 points in your game. Should have won MVP.
[1:15:14] Speaker 2: We already know there's some... They cheated you?
[1:15:16] Speaker 1: Who was the MVP of that game, Shot?
[1:15:18] Speaker 6: You know he know. Coach of the Lakers.
[1:15:20] Speaker 1: Mm. And that's where the.
[1:15:22] Speaker 3: You lost.
[1:15:23] Speaker 1: Origin story starts. Wow! No wonder you don't like him.
[1:15:27] Speaker 3: No, it ain't got nothing to do with him.
[1:15:29] Speaker 1: His high school coach was the coach of our team.
[1:15:31] Speaker 1: His high school coach was the coach of our team.
[1:15:32] Speaker 3: You lost to a white man?
[1:15:33] Speaker 1: And he went to Duke.
[1:15:34] Speaker 3: You lost to a white man?
[1:15:36] Speaker 4: We kicking you out the black society.
[1:15:39] Speaker 1: Why? Why you think I like Snow Bunny so much?
[1:15:42] Speaker 1: In the black society. Why you think that? What you
[1:15:44] Speaker 1: think the origin story behind? Can you tap that white girl?
[1:15:49] Speaker 1: Where you think that start from?
[1:15:51] Speaker 4: Hey, man.
[1:15:51] Speaker 1: JJ? Hey.
[1:15:53] Speaker 3: JJ, he earned his slights.
[1:15:55] Speaker 1: In all sincerity... What did he have?
[1:15:58] Speaker 6: 23.
[1:15:59] Speaker 1: Coach left him in the last two minutes of the game.
[1:16:00] Speaker 1: We were talking about about 40. Oh, wow.
[1:16:02] Speaker 2: But in all sincerity, Elijah, obviously everybody on this couch
[1:16:05] Speaker 2: is super proud of you. You know your dad is
[1:16:06] Speaker 2: super proud of you. Getting selected at 2025 McDonald's All-American game. Sure,
[1:16:10] Speaker 2: it's been a dream of yours for a while. And
[1:16:12] Speaker 2: now I see it come true. So just how excited
[1:16:14] Speaker 2: are you to be able to play in that game?
[1:16:16] Speaker 2: Barclay Center, we will be there. Underdog is flying the
[1:16:18] Speaker 2: entire crew out to support Elijah in the McDonald's All-American game.
[1:16:23] Speaker 1: Whoop, whoop. You didn't know that, Gil? No, I don't. Well, shit.
[1:16:26] Speaker 2: You came up with the idea.
[1:16:28] Speaker 1: I'm ready.
[1:16:32] Speaker 2: But what does it mean? How excited are you to
[1:16:33] Speaker 2: be able to actually play in that game? You've seen
[1:16:35] Speaker 2: it for years, I'm sure. Now being actual, be in it.
[1:16:39] Speaker 2: And are you going to pass the ball or are
[1:16:40] Speaker 2: you trying to get buckets?
[1:16:41] Speaker 1: I'm trying to get buckets.
[1:16:42] Speaker 2: That's all we wanted to hear.
[1:16:43] Speaker 7: I'm going to have fun, but I probably won't really
[1:16:48] Speaker 7: know how it feels until I hit that court. So
[1:16:51] Speaker 7: I'm waiting until I get there. And then I think
[1:16:53] Speaker 7: it's going to really hit me, you know, like I
[1:16:55] Speaker 7: really made it.
[1:16:56] Speaker 2: So we showed your clip, you going up against Cleveland
[1:16:58] Speaker 2: High School. Swaggy was in the building. JC the barber
[1:17:01] Speaker 2: was in the building. Talk about that dunk for me
[1:17:03] Speaker 2: a little bit.
[1:17:04] Speaker 1: Like I said, you know me, mild manner.
[1:17:06] Speaker 2: Dunk showed a lot of emotion in that game.
[1:17:09] Speaker 1: He was a geek. It was always a close game
[1:17:11] Speaker 1: with Cleveland. Even last year, same thing.
[1:17:14] Speaker 7: And then last year, I actually shot that three, same corner,
[1:17:18] Speaker 7: but I hated to go to overtime.
[1:17:20] Speaker 1: So it was like the same thing all over again.
[1:17:22] Speaker 1: But playing them, it's always good.
[1:17:25] Speaker 6: I got a question.
[1:17:27] Speaker 1: Are you the best player coming out of your class?
[1:17:33] Speaker 7: Yeah, I believe that, but I got a lot to
[1:17:35] Speaker 7: work on, especially from watching everybody else, seeing what they got.
[1:17:39] Speaker 1: I feel like there's some stuff to.
[1:17:40] Speaker 7: Really hone in on and really build up on that
[1:17:45] Speaker 7: would really make me number one.
[1:17:47] Speaker 3: What do you think that is?
[1:17:49] Speaker 7: I just feel like trying to be a leader. That
[1:17:52] Speaker 7: comes with discipline. And for me, it's like my overall game.
[1:17:57] Speaker 7: So I know I'll pick and choose. I really got
[1:17:59] Speaker 7: to work on this. I really got to work on that.
[1:18:01] Speaker 7: But for me, it's just trying to be into that
[1:18:03] Speaker 7: leader role, especially who I want to.
[1:18:04] Speaker 1: Be in the league. Can I challenge you? We know
[1:18:09] Speaker 1: what you can do. What can't you do? So, before
[1:18:15] Speaker 1: you even answer that, the mystique behind a player like
[1:18:19] Speaker 1: you is... Can he fucking guard? Not can he just guard,
[1:18:25] Speaker 1: can he shut him down? Can you go to the
[1:18:28] Speaker 1: All-Star game and say, they know how good I am,
[1:18:32] Speaker 1: but I'm about to show them how good they not.
[1:18:36] Speaker 1: That's just a different approach from certain guys where you
[1:18:39] Speaker 1: already know how good. You got your dad, he gonna be,
[1:18:42] Speaker 1: he a scientist when it come to the offense. For you,
[1:18:45] Speaker 1: it's effort and energy when it comes to defense. Ain't
[1:18:47] Speaker 1: nobody going to teach you.
[1:18:47] Speaker 6: Effort and energy.
[1:18:48] Speaker 1: Ain't nobody going to teach you. Yeah. So you got
[1:18:50] Speaker 1: to see, look at these dudes and be like, man,
[1:18:52] Speaker 1: I already know I'm the best, but I'm about to
[1:18:54] Speaker 1: show you individually. Match up. Take your heart. I know
[1:18:59] Speaker 1: if I see that in you, I already told him,
[1:19:01] Speaker 1: I already think you... Up here. That part of your shit?
[1:19:04] Speaker 7: I feel like it needs to be from the jump
[1:19:07] Speaker 7: a lot more.
[1:19:08] Speaker 1: I really got to own that. You wait till somebody
[1:19:11] Speaker 1: push you. And then you be like, yo, what?
[1:19:15] Speaker 7: So I tune to stop picking shoes. And it's always
[1:19:18] Speaker 7: got to be that. I feel like that's where.
[1:19:20] Speaker 3: Jump ball.
[1:19:22] Speaker 1: Those practices. Yeah, that's the practice at McDonald's. That's where
[1:19:26] Speaker 1: you get to set the tone. You get to play
[1:19:28] Speaker 1: your position for the first time. And you get to
[1:19:31] Speaker 1: set the tone for all of them. They get to
[1:19:32] Speaker 1: see how you rock. They get to be like, oh,
[1:19:35] Speaker 1: I didn't know he was this intense. No, for real.
[1:19:37] Speaker 4: There's three NBA kids in the McDonald's?
[1:19:40] Speaker 3: The two Boozer boys? Boozer.
[1:19:44] Speaker 6: The practice is going to separate everyone.
[1:19:46] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:19:47] Speaker 1: Because both of them made it, right? Yeah. But now
[1:19:49] Speaker 1: nobody can hide.
[1:19:49] Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody can hide. There's too much talent.
[1:19:51] Speaker 6: Watch.
[1:19:51] Speaker 1: There's too much talent. You're going to catch somebody on
[1:19:54] Speaker 1: the island that you think could guard you, and you're like, oh,
[1:19:57] Speaker 1: you too? Yeah. You too?
[1:19:59] Speaker 6: Yeah, go check my highlights.
[1:20:00] Speaker 2: Elijah, we got a lot for you to do celebrating
[1:20:03] Speaker 2: this moment. Got one more question for you. What other
[1:20:05] Speaker 2: goals have you set for yourself? Obviously, making the McDonald's
[1:20:08] Speaker 2: game a tremendous achievement in your career, but we know
[1:20:12] Speaker 2: you still want more. So what other goals do you
[1:20:13] Speaker 2: have for yourself in the immediate future?
[1:20:18] Speaker 1: I want to learn, like, I really want to learn
[1:20:21] Speaker 1: the game. I feel like, you know, right.
[1:20:23] Speaker 7: Now, it's just like play hard, work out, you know,
[1:20:28] Speaker 7: do what I'm supposed to do. But like, I don't
[1:20:31] Speaker 7: feel like I really like touched the game like I should. Like,
[1:20:34] Speaker 7: I feel like learning it is probably like the fun
[1:20:37] Speaker 7: part about basketball. Because when I learn it, then everything
[1:20:40] Speaker 7: else just, all the doors open up. So I feel
[1:20:42] Speaker 7: like just me just seeing the best players in the world.
[1:20:47] Speaker 1: Because that's where I want to go. I feel like
[1:20:49] Speaker 1: I really want to learn the game before I get there.
[1:20:52] Speaker 7: And then even when I get there, it's just more
[1:20:54] Speaker 7: opportunities to learn.
[1:20:55] Speaker 1: Now I got in person. Now I get to see.
[1:20:57] Speaker 7: I get to watch my own teammates, how they react,
[1:21:00] Speaker 7: how they feel about this, how they feel about that. Like,
[1:21:03] Speaker 7: who wants to be the first in the gym? Like,
[1:21:06] Speaker 7: who am I trying to beat? Like, that all comes
[1:21:08] Speaker 7: with it. So I feel like just for me, learning
[1:21:10] Speaker 7: the game is just probably the best part.
[1:21:12] Speaker 1: That's your son?
[1:21:13] Speaker 3: You sure that's your son?
[1:21:16] Speaker 1: Right? You sure that's your boy? I'm not going to
[1:21:19] Speaker 1: get the DNA test, I can tell you that. You know?
[1:21:23] Speaker 1: It don't matter. It don't matter. I've been with this boy. Elijah,
[1:21:33] Speaker 1: laughing out loud.
[1:21:34] Speaker 2: I see you rocking the Harden McDonald's name, James Harden.
[1:21:37] Speaker 2: So you said Harden is your favorite player. You're a
[1:21:39] Speaker 2: couple years away from being in the league, playing against
[1:21:42] Speaker 2: some of these guys that now you've grown up watching,
[1:21:43] Speaker 2: and emulating your game after. But how excited are you
[1:21:45] Speaker 2: to get to the league eventually and be able to
[1:21:47] Speaker 2: play against guys like James Harden?
[1:21:49] Speaker 1: I'm very excited.
[1:21:50] Speaker 7: Like, especially just even just, like, hearing him talk right now, like,
[1:21:55] Speaker 7: I'm really, like, ready to go learn. That's where I'm just,
[1:22:00] Speaker 7: my head is at right now. So I just want
[1:22:02] Speaker 7: to build, like, you know, my skill, my body, stamina, like,
[1:22:06] Speaker 7: everything that I should. And then when I get there,
[1:22:09] Speaker 7: it's just all uphill from there.
[1:22:11] Speaker 6: What size shoe you wear?
[1:22:12] Speaker 4: I got those already.
[1:22:16] Speaker 1: 14, 15.
[1:22:16] Speaker 3: I claim those already.
[1:22:18] Speaker 2: You may see me rocking those soon, but let's give
[1:22:20] Speaker 2: it up one more time. 2025 McDonald's All-American, Elijah Revis.
[1:22:25] Speaker 1: The first Revis to make the Michigan team. Yeah.
[1:22:34] Speaker 2: Compton Magic legend. Shout out Tope in the building with
[1:22:36] Speaker 2: the big hat.
[1:22:37] Speaker 6: Shout out Compton Magic for the show.
[1:22:39] Speaker 2: Shout out to the Compton Magic. Too much rap for
[1:22:43] Speaker 2: my particular liking, but all good.
[1:22:45] Speaker 3: What's up with all that rap?
[1:22:46] Speaker 1: Yeah, what's up with all that rap? You know what
[1:22:48] Speaker 1: it is, 5? You see it.
[1:22:51] Speaker 6: When you get to the McDonald's game, they let you
[1:22:54] Speaker 6: know what it is, fine.
[1:22:54] Speaker 1: Red or white, boy. Red or white, ain't no blues. Hey,
[1:23:00] Speaker 1: you should be happy right now.
[1:23:01] Speaker 3: I know.
[1:23:02] Speaker 1: I heard top five. No, no, no, no. No, he's
[1:23:05] Speaker 1: going right now. Like, right now. Yeah, he's on his
[1:23:08] Speaker 1: official visit right now. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
[1:23:11] Speaker 1: Let me have that here. Like, exactly right now. He's
[1:23:14] Speaker 1: going right next to it, yeah. You about to go see,
[1:23:17] Speaker 1: are you going to USC next? Right now. Oh, let's go, baby! Yeah,
[1:23:22] Speaker 1: he's leaving to go. Hurry up, you got to beat
[1:23:25] Speaker 1: up by like 140. Exit on Sunset and make a left.
[1:23:28] Speaker 1: They got to beat up by 140. You could be
[1:23:30] Speaker 1: late to that one.
[1:23:31] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a waste.
[1:23:33] Speaker 1: They ain't got nothing to give you. Are you going
[1:23:35] Speaker 1: to watch him get smacked by UCLA tonight? Yeah, you
[1:23:38] Speaker 1: could be late to that scene. See how they did
[1:23:39] Speaker 1: Reggie Bush. Oh, they gave it back? Hell yeah, he
[1:23:44] Speaker 1: got everything. He didn't give us?
[1:23:45] Speaker 3: One of the years later.
[1:23:47] Speaker 1: They didn't want to. I don't even want that shit. Man,
[1:23:49] Speaker 1: that man gave me some dollars. That's the end.
[1:23:53] Speaker 2: Shout out to Elijah Arena. But all sincerity, Gil. Elijah
[1:23:58] Speaker 2: has left the building. I mean, you've talked about this
[1:24:00] Speaker 2: for years with all your kids, obviously. Your daughters and sons,
[1:24:03] Speaker 2: all high-level hoopers. But just your approach and attack to
[1:24:06] Speaker 2: the game. And I think the thing that a lot
[1:24:08] Speaker 2: of people don't grasp what you spoke about they've grown
[1:24:11] Speaker 2: up in a good environment, right? Privileged, have everything, really
[1:24:14] Speaker 2: have no reason to want to excel at this game
[1:24:17] Speaker 2: other than just a love for it. So what does
[1:24:18] Speaker 2: it mean for you to see all their hard work
[1:24:20] Speaker 2: is paying off?
[1:24:21] Speaker 5: I mean, to be honest, it feels good, you know,
[1:24:26] Speaker 5: just to see, you know, your kids thriving mentally, physically,
[1:24:31] Speaker 5: you know, as parents, that's, you know, that's what our
[1:24:34] Speaker 5: goals usually are is our kids supposed to finish where
[1:24:38] Speaker 5: we left off, right? Um, And that is legacy where
[1:24:43] Speaker 5: you try to instill a lot of good habits in
[1:24:46] Speaker 5: them so when they get to the real world that
[1:24:49] Speaker 5: at some point they kick in.
[1:24:51] Speaker 6: And that's what it is.
[1:24:52] Speaker 5: He's gonna go through whatever he's gonna go through.
[1:24:57] Speaker 1: Getting to the NBA, getting in the.
[1:24:59] Speaker 5: NBA, but there's enough good habits instilled in him where
[1:25:03] Speaker 5: he should prevail. So like my daughter in Louisville right now, Isela,
[1:25:11] Speaker 5: this is the first time she's ever felt coming off
[1:25:13] Speaker 5: the bench. And, you know, our conversation every day is
[1:25:17] Speaker 5: just about the.
[1:25:17] Speaker 6: Mental part of it.
[1:25:18] Speaker 2: Staying mentally focused.
[1:25:20] Speaker 5: In your freshman year, you know, be happy for your
[1:25:22] Speaker 5: teammates like you would be, like, you know, they were
[1:25:24] Speaker 5: happy for you back in high school, right? It's a program, right?
[1:25:29] Speaker 5: Everybody has their own lane to race. You got to
[1:25:31] Speaker 5: race yours. You can't look over to the side, seeing
[1:25:34] Speaker 5: what other people are doing, right? So, you know, what's
[1:25:37] Speaker 5: going to make you grow as a player, as a human,
[1:25:40] Speaker 5: is defeating this part of you, right? Understanding that it
[1:25:46] Speaker 5: is patience that you were lacking at one point. Now
[1:25:49] Speaker 5: you're learning how to gain patience and understand the game.
[1:25:52] Speaker 5: You know, so she's doing a lot better, you know, mentally, physically.
[1:25:56] Speaker 5: So when she does get in the game, she's actually
[1:25:58] Speaker 5: performing a lot better now than when she was before.
[1:26:02] Speaker 6: The great thing about it, too, is that you went
[1:26:03] Speaker 6: through it. So you're able to tell them and actually...
[1:26:07] Speaker 6: be able to have a positive influence on it. A
[1:26:09] Speaker 6: lot of people go through it and be, well, you know, like,
[1:26:11] Speaker 6: this is what I had to go through. So you,
[1:26:13] Speaker 6: it's like, yo, the fact that you have a positive
[1:26:15] Speaker 6: influence on them and tell them, like, yo, you're going
[1:26:17] Speaker 6: to be better. Yo, stay focused. Like, that's big for
[1:26:20] Speaker 6: as a parent. Like, you know, especially for the mentor.
[1:26:24] Speaker 1: The most important thing I think I got from him,
[1:26:27] Speaker 1: which is very surprising to hear out of someone in
[1:26:31] Speaker 1: this generation, say how much they want to learn the game. Yeah.
[1:26:36] Speaker 3: Right?
[1:26:36] Speaker 1: Yeah. Because he's put in the work to be a
[1:26:38] Speaker 1: good player. Like, he can say, he say, I'm a
[1:26:42] Speaker 1: good player. But he can also say, I don't know
[1:26:44] Speaker 1: how to play yet, though. Like, I think I'm a
[1:26:47] Speaker 1: good player, yeah, but I ain't really played, I ain't
[1:26:51] Speaker 1: tapped into the game yet. And that's the shit we
[1:26:54] Speaker 1: was talking about, about the pin downs and the things
[1:26:57] Speaker 1: that you have structure about, that he's like, I can't
[1:26:59] Speaker 1: wait for that. I can't wait for the details of
[1:27:02] Speaker 1: the structure of the game. And that, to me, is
[1:27:04] Speaker 1: a brilliant Brilliant side. I feel better about the future
[1:27:08] Speaker 1: now that I heard him say that. Like, he's going
[1:27:10] Speaker 1: to make that trickle down. So.
[1:27:13] Speaker 2: Three years of college or should he just do one?
[1:27:15] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It ain't about him. He's not the
[1:27:19] Speaker 1: type of prospect that you say you need more years.
[1:27:21] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:27:22] Speaker 1: He's not one of them. He got the skill level.
[1:27:25] Speaker 3: He got the skill level.
[1:27:25] Speaker 1: He need the structure of how we doing this pin now,
[1:27:29] Speaker 1: how we doing the pick and roll, where your rotations are,
[1:27:31] Speaker 1: so he don't have to go to the league and
[1:27:32] Speaker 1: they have to teach him that. So when he come
[1:27:34] Speaker 1: in and he know where to be.
[1:27:36] Speaker 6: I feel like a lot of young kids was like that, though.
[1:27:37] Speaker 6: We just don't know that.
[1:27:38] Speaker 1: Well, if you don't know where to be, you've never
[1:27:40] Speaker 1: been told where to be because you ain't never ran
[1:27:41] Speaker 1: these sets. You ain't never as a defender went against
[1:27:44] Speaker 1: this type of shit. So once he gets into the structure, college,
[1:27:48] Speaker 1: where the only place you have to actually fight for
[1:27:51] Speaker 1: a spot, just the first time as a five-star, don't matter.
[1:27:54] Speaker 1: You're running up against a junior or a senior, whatever.
[1:27:58] Speaker 1: You've got to fight for your spot. That's all I
[1:28:00] Speaker 1: was saying about the running shit. That's what I mean.
[1:28:02] Speaker 1: Fight for it where you've got to look around and
[1:28:04] Speaker 1: be like, they're not just about to give me this
[1:28:06] Speaker 1: because of who I am. Yeah.
[1:28:07] Speaker 6: I gotta fight for this. He is fighting for a spot, Bronny.
[1:28:10] Speaker 1: He in the G League. Well, just, I don't even
[1:28:12] Speaker 1: try to pivot off that, but I'm just saying it's
[1:28:13] Speaker 1: like for him. he know that he got the game already.
[1:28:17] Speaker 3: So if he come into the game.
[1:28:18] Speaker 1: He ain't got.
[1:28:19] Speaker 4: To fight for a spot. We giving you everything you want.
[1:28:22] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:28:23] Speaker 6: I'm about to say, like, a lot of young guys.
[1:28:25] Speaker 1: But a lot of young guys don't have to fight
[1:28:27] Speaker 1: for their spot, though. And that's why he come up short,
[1:28:30] Speaker 1: because they ain't getting challenged.
[1:28:32] Speaker 4: Nah, we don't fight for nothing no more. Who's coming
[1:28:34] Speaker 4: up short? That's why you think Jason Tatum's soft. All
[1:28:39] Speaker 4: that fighting for shit is overrated.
[1:28:41] Speaker 3: I want everything easy.
[1:28:42] Speaker 4: If I had the chance to get easy, I would've
[1:28:44] Speaker 4: took it.
[1:28:48] Speaker 1: You don't fight for nothing.
[1:28:49] Speaker 2: Don't fight for shit.
[1:28:50] Speaker 4: Don't fight for shit if you don't have to. If
[1:28:51] Speaker 4: they're going to roll it out to you, go where
[1:28:53] Speaker 4: they're going to.
[1:28:54] Speaker 3: Roll it out to you.
[1:28:54] Speaker 1: All that fighting for.
[1:28:56] Speaker 4: The girl to work hard to get to somewhere.
[1:28:59] Speaker 3: That shit is deep.

[1:32:31] Speaker 1: would say. That's something I would say. That's something I

[1:32:58] Speaker 1: can't get it off. We got to save it. I'm
[1:33:01] Speaker 1: not a greedy woman who wants back-to-back-to-back. You sure you

[1:33:19] Speaker 2: suspended eight games for conduct detrimental to team.
[1:33:22] Speaker 1: Came back, played a couple games. They doing that blue
[1:33:25] Speaker 1: pill to that? Back to back to back. They gave
[1:33:29] Speaker 1: Jimmy with a roll, huh? Hell yeah.
[1:33:31] Speaker 4: They hit him with the roll smart.
[1:33:34] Speaker 1: Back to back to back. You better not pop up
[1:33:38] Speaker 1: around here no more. You better not pop up around
[1:33:40] Speaker 1: here no more, nigga.
[1:33:41] Speaker 2: Take your ass home. Jimmy suspended the seven games, came back,
[1:33:46] Speaker 2: played a couple games. was rocking the Suns colorway shoes
[1:33:50] Speaker 2: that did not match with the Heat jersey. Got suspended
[1:33:53] Speaker 2: two more games for wanting to take his own flight
[1:33:55] Speaker 2: to Milwaukee. Situation's going on out there. Showed up at
[1:33:58] Speaker 2: shoot-around today, trying to reunite with the squad. Was told
[1:34:03] Speaker 2: that he would not be in the starting lineup for
[1:34:05] Speaker 2: Haywood Highsmith.
[1:34:06] Speaker 1: Promptly walked out.
[1:34:08] Speaker 2: So do you feel like, like you said, if I'm
[1:34:10] Speaker 2: the Heat, I'm trying not to pay him his bread.
[1:34:12] Speaker 2: Can you say that's conduct detrimental to the team? You're
[1:34:14] Speaker 2: walking out on your team during a team-sanctioned shoot-around. Are
[1:34:17] Speaker 2: they just trying to poke at him to get what
[1:34:20] Speaker 2: they want? I mean, we've seen it with the Ben Simmons, right?
[1:34:24] Speaker 5: We've seen where they pretended he had a cell phone
[1:34:27] Speaker 5: in his pocket when it was just the water bottle, right?
[1:34:30] Speaker 5: You try to make him do a couple extra line
[1:34:32] Speaker 5: drills and wait till he says no so then you
[1:34:34] Speaker 5: can say judgmental to the team, right? And this is
[1:34:40] Speaker 5: all it's been leading to, trying to figure out how
[1:34:41] Speaker 5: they can suspend him for the entire season. And then
[1:34:45] Speaker 5: now you can stay home but you don't cost us
[1:34:48] Speaker 5: a dime. So they're not going to lift it. They
[1:34:52] Speaker 5: don't give a fuck now because they got what they
[1:34:53] Speaker 5: really wanted, the money part of it.
[1:34:56] Speaker 1: So this is going to be the end.
[1:34:57] Speaker 5: Of the Jimmy Butler news because he can go, you
[1:35:00] Speaker 5: can sit wherever the fuck you want to sit, you
[1:35:02] Speaker 5: can make your fucking coffee all you want, do whatever
[1:35:05] Speaker 5: you want to do. We're not paying you now, so
[1:35:07] Speaker 5: we're good.
[1:35:08] Speaker 2: But to that point, trade deadline, 10 days, February 6th,
[1:35:13] Speaker 2: Thursday noon, we will be here in the arena covering it.
[1:35:15] Speaker 2: Jimmy has a $ 52 million player option on his contract
[1:35:18] Speaker 2: that he will exercise if they do not get a
[1:35:20] Speaker 2: trade done.
[1:35:21] Speaker 1: So you're going to owe me $ 52. Whatever you want
[1:35:23] Speaker 1: to do, I will keep showing up. How much do
[1:35:25] Speaker 1: I owe you right now left?
[1:35:27] Speaker 2: If he exercises that player option.
[1:35:29] Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[1:35:31] Speaker 6: You don't see it.
[1:35:33] Speaker 2: From today or shit from nine games.
[1:35:36] Speaker 1: Ago, right?
[1:35:37] Speaker 2: But it feels like he'll get his bread for some
[1:35:39] Speaker 2: of that, right?
[1:35:39] Speaker 6: Yeah, he'll get some.
[1:35:40] Speaker 1: So moving the rest, he's going to lose how many millions?
[1:35:44] Speaker 2: So he's scheduled to make $ 49 million this year. I
[1:35:47] Speaker 2: have never got an NBA check. I do not know
[1:35:48] Speaker 2: how it breaks down.
[1:35:49] Speaker 3: So what left?
[1:35:49] Speaker 1: Well, you got about, like, $ 18 million, about $ 20 million
[1:35:52] Speaker 1: left on that contract.
[1:35:53] Speaker 5: So they're going to take this $ 20 because he's suspended indefinitely.
[1:35:57] Speaker 2: So that means.
[1:35:58] Speaker 5: Next year money is technically minus $ 20 million. So really,
[1:36:02] Speaker 5: if they don't bring him back.
[1:36:05] Speaker 4: They could suspend him indefinitely for not wanting to, wait,
[1:36:08] Speaker 4: for walking out?
[1:36:09] Speaker 1: That seems agreed. Yeah, they just keep acting.
[1:36:11] Speaker 3: If you walk in and they say.
[1:36:12] Speaker 1: We starting to hang with Heisman over you. They can
[1:36:15] Speaker 1: try to fight for you. I mean, listen, they're going
[1:36:18] Speaker 1: to try to fight. Listen, you keep adding up, bro.
[1:36:20] Speaker 1: You keep adding up. What is he doing? You walked
[1:36:21] Speaker 1: out of studio? Nick, Nick. Come on now. They tested you, though.
[1:36:33] Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. I get it, but
[1:36:35] Speaker 1: you got to.
[1:36:35] Speaker 3: He's falling for it.
[1:36:37] Speaker 1: Right now, you got to figure out what side you
[1:36:38] Speaker 1: going to lean on right now, because if you lean
[1:36:40] Speaker 1: on the Jimmy side, you got to see how does
[1:36:42] Speaker 1: it look for the actual fan? What is the fan thinking?
[1:36:46] Speaker 1: The fan don't know what we go through as players
[1:36:48] Speaker 1: for him to act like this, and you can have
[1:36:50] Speaker 1: a justifiable reason why you say, I agree with Jimmy.
[1:36:52] Speaker 1: The fan don't know what we know. So we looking
[1:36:55] Speaker 1: at it from the outside like, hey, Jimmy, what is
[1:36:57] Speaker 1: wrong with Jimmy? What is he doing? Why is he
[1:37:00] Speaker 1: doing that? Why did he walk out of the practice?
[1:37:02] Speaker 1: Why is he showing up with the opposite team's colors
[1:37:05] Speaker 1: on his shoes? What is he doing? Now, Ben Simmons,
[1:37:09] Speaker 1: did he egg this shit on? He didn't do nothing.
[1:37:10] Speaker 1: He didn't say nothing. Who was his agent at the time?
[1:37:13] Speaker 6: Rich Paul.
[1:37:13] Speaker 1: Rich Paul. Rich Paul said, hey, look, don't you say
[1:37:15] Speaker 1: a motherfucking word. We got it. Facts. Jimmy, Bernie Lee
[1:37:21] Speaker 1: used to be my agent.
[1:37:23] Speaker 2: Oh.
[1:37:24] Speaker 1: And Bernie ain't going to.
[1:37:25] Speaker 3: Tell you to shut the fuck up. Jimmy, shut the
[1:37:30] Speaker 3: fuck up.
[1:37:32] Speaker 1: Bernie, you ain't going to tell him. Jimmy, shut the
[1:37:34] Speaker 1: fuck up.
[1:37:35] Speaker 6: Dancing with Bernie.
[1:37:37] Speaker 4: If I'm used to flying a separate plane, and now
[1:37:41] Speaker 4: you want to fine me for it, that's weak, though.
[1:37:43] Speaker 1: I'm fine with you because it ain't with everybody else
[1:37:45] Speaker 1: on the team not doing it. But I've been doing
[1:37:46] Speaker 1: this forever, though.
[1:37:47] Speaker 5: But they know you're doing it now. That's why they
[1:37:49] Speaker 5: fucking with you. I know you're doing it. And we
[1:37:51] Speaker 5: not having that.
[1:37:52] Speaker 1: We don't like each other right now. We don't like
[1:37:54] Speaker 1: each other. You don't get that, so I'm not letting
[1:37:55] Speaker 1: you get away with it. None of this shit no more.
[1:37:56] Speaker 4: But how can you fine me if you knew I
[1:37:58] Speaker 4: was doing this on a regular, but now that I'm
[1:38:00] Speaker 4: not in your mother.
[1:38:01] Speaker 1: I like you. It's not a privilege. That was a privilege, Nick.
[1:38:04] Speaker 1: That was a privilege. Yeah, I liked you.
[1:38:06] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:38:07] Speaker 1: I don't like you now. Yes, you can. I gave
[1:38:09] Speaker 1: it to you, Nick.
[1:38:10] Speaker 4: So that seems... The team should be fined for that
[1:38:13] Speaker 4: kind of shit.
[1:38:13] Speaker 1: Because you let it.
[1:38:14] Speaker 4: Go, and then now that you don't like me, I'm
[1:38:16] Speaker 4: fining you?
[1:38:17] Speaker 1: You can't do that.
[1:38:17] Speaker 5: If work started at 10 o'clock and I let you,
[1:38:20] Speaker 5: only you come at 10, 15, because me and you cool,
[1:38:23] Speaker 5: we buddy-buddy, And now you telling me, fuck you, I
[1:38:26] Speaker 5: don't need you, You.
[1:38:27] Speaker 1: Think you can come in at 10.15 again?
[1:38:28] Speaker 5: I want to go to another motherfucking job.
[1:38:30] Speaker 1: Nah.
[1:38:31] Speaker 5: And you think you're going to come 10.15 now? Your
[1:38:34] Speaker 5: ass better be there at motherfucking 9.50.
[1:38:36] Speaker 4: But you've been letting me do this for years.
[1:38:38] Speaker 1: I let you in when you were cool.
[1:38:40] Speaker 4: But I can use that in the court of law.
[1:38:42] Speaker 1: No, you can't, bro. The contract says you be there
[1:38:46] Speaker 1: at 10. I was letting you be late. I looked
[1:38:49] Speaker 1: the other way. No, it ain't even late. I fly
[1:38:52] Speaker 1: on my own. Let me fly on my own. I
[1:38:53] Speaker 1: let you do that. But now that we got a problem.
[1:38:56] Speaker 3: It's no longer a privilege.
[1:38:58] Speaker 1: Listen, baby. Listen, baby. We got these rules here, man. Listen, baby,
[1:39:01] Speaker 1: you was sleeping in my room. Now you can't sleep

[1:39:33] Speaker 1: You got to give me my money. You got to
[1:39:35] Speaker 1: give me my money, though. At the Marriott. Warner Center Marriott.
[1:39:39] Speaker 1: Exquisite hotel. Shout out to Bomb Boy. You know how
[1:39:41] Speaker 1: it works. They got to find a trade for him.
[1:39:48] Speaker 1: They can't. But look. No, they're going to wait until
[1:39:50] Speaker 1: the summer. No.
[1:39:51] Speaker 2: No.
[1:39:52] Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. The ball just fell in the water. Yes. Yes.
[1:39:56] Speaker 1: It just fell in the water. The ball just fell
[1:39:59] Speaker 1: in the water. Nothing's happening. You stuck. No way.
[1:40:01] Speaker 6: You are stuck.
[1:40:02] Speaker 1: You fucked it up. He did one of these. Wow.
[1:40:05] Speaker 1: He did one of these. You know, in college football,
[1:40:07] Speaker 1: they be running, and them goofy motherfuckers see that, and
[1:40:09] Speaker 1: they drop the ball right in here.
[1:40:11] Speaker 6: They come in, motherfuckers fumble.
[1:40:12] Speaker 1: Yeah, they try to celebrate right before they score. He
[1:40:14] Speaker 1: fumbled the ball. This being the end zone, it's a fumble. Now,
[1:40:20] Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck.
[1:40:21] Speaker 6: Don't give a fuck at all.
[1:40:22] Speaker 1: Even if I lose. You notice I switched my... I
[1:40:24] Speaker 1: don't give a fuck. Because you don't get money. Which
[1:40:28] Speaker 1: means if I owe you $ 20 million for the rest
[1:40:31] Speaker 1: of the season, God damn it, I don't have to
[1:40:33] Speaker 1: give it to you. That means next year I owe
[1:40:35] Speaker 1: you $ 52. I done just took $ 20 right now. So
[1:40:38] Speaker 1: in total, I would have owed you from now to
[1:40:41] Speaker 1: next year.
[1:40:42] Speaker 6: $ 72 million.
[1:40:43] Speaker 1: He still owe him. He still owe him.
[1:40:45] Speaker 4: You can't suspend me indefinitely for walking out one practice.
[1:40:50] Speaker 3: Hell no.
[1:40:51] Speaker 1: That's not it, Nick. Don't stand on that, Nick. That's
[1:40:54] Speaker 1: not it. That's not just the one thing. You're being
[1:40:56] Speaker 1: emotional on that one. It's accumulating. It's being a thing, bro.
[1:41:01] Speaker 1: And they sitting in tape. I got you with a
[1:41:03] Speaker 1: nickel bag. I got you with a goddamn album. Yep.
[1:41:06] Speaker 1: It's the flying. And I got Joe Tate.
[1:41:08] Speaker 4: So you let me fly on my own, but now
[1:41:10] Speaker 4: I can't fly on my own.
[1:41:11] Speaker 3: You suspended me for that.
[1:41:12] Speaker 4: Now you said I'm not starting, and I walk out.
[1:41:15] Speaker 4: You suspended indefinitely.
[1:41:16] Speaker 3: You can't do that.
[1:41:16] Speaker 1: So it started off, look, nine games.
[1:41:19] Speaker 3: You can't do that.
[1:41:19] Speaker 1: Two games. Two games. Now. So they done showed up there.
[1:41:22] Speaker 1: And then there's other stuff. They sent in tape. They
[1:41:24] Speaker 1: showed tape to the fucking union and the NBA. These
[1:41:28] Speaker 1: are the reasons why we fucking suspended him. Look at
[1:41:30] Speaker 1: his effort here. We can't accept this. And that wasn't
[1:41:34] Speaker 1: Pat Riley, bro. That was Spoh. Y'all don't understand that
[1:41:38] Speaker 1: it ain't Pat.
[1:41:38] Speaker 6: It ain't Pat and Jimmy.
[1:41:41] Speaker 1: Spoh's hiding behind, hiding his hand. It's him and Spoh.
[1:41:44] Speaker 2: They recorded it.
[1:41:46] Speaker 1: We know who has the big whistle in the heat organization.
[1:41:49] Speaker 3: That's because the money talk up here.
[1:41:50] Speaker 1: But we know who got the big whistle. All right,
[1:41:52] Speaker 1: who do you think started Highsmith? Nobody talking about it.
[1:41:57] Speaker 1: That ain't Pat Rowley saying, hey, hey, start Hot Smith. Hey,
[1:42:00] Speaker 1: you run your ship how you want to run it. Hey,
[1:42:02] Speaker 1: we not fucking with Jimmy, Pat, so let me do
[1:42:05] Speaker 1: what I do. But you don't think Pat can do that?
[1:42:07] Speaker 4: You can't suspend somebody indefinitely.
[1:42:09] Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
[1:42:09] Speaker 6: Since they spoke.
[1:42:11] Speaker 1: Spoke saying, I don't want him on my team. he's
[1:42:13] Speaker 1: fucking up the internet. All right, so crazy. We try
[1:42:16] Speaker 1: our company.
[1:42:17] Speaker 3: Nobody wants you.
[1:42:18] Speaker 2: Even if Spoh is saying that, you don't think Pat's
[1:42:20] Speaker 2: cosigning on it?
[1:42:22] Speaker 1: You can do it. You can do that. He getting
[1:42:24] Speaker 1: that money. What I'm saying is, as of today, I
[1:42:27] Speaker 1: owed you $ 72 million. He's getting that money. Right? So
[1:42:30] Speaker 1: I suspend you for the rest of the season. Now
[1:42:33] Speaker 1: I only owe you $ 52 million.
[1:42:34] Speaker 5: I can bring you back next year because technically it's
[1:42:37] Speaker 5: only going to cost me $ 32 million on my books.
[1:42:38] Speaker 1: Man. And I can trade that. And I can trade that.
[1:42:41] Speaker 1: I can trade the $ 32 million. To me, I can
[1:42:44] Speaker 1: trade because... Wait for the summer.
[1:42:46] Speaker 6: You see what I'm saying?
[1:42:49] Speaker 1: Damn. He put himself in the situation Gil was talking about, though. Like,
[1:42:52] Speaker 1: they wasn't thinking about this scenario until now. You're like, see,
[1:42:56] Speaker 1: that's better for us. Actually, we don't got to pay you.
[1:42:58] Speaker 1: And we'll pay you less if we ought to pay you.
[1:43:01] Speaker 1: That's what I said. $ 52 million next year, but I
[1:43:03] Speaker 1: took $ 20 this year off your contract.
[1:43:06] Speaker 4: At the same time, you don't know how his contract
[1:43:09] Speaker 4: is deal.
[1:43:09] Speaker 3: There's some people that get heavy up front and little
[1:43:12] Speaker 3: in the back.
[1:43:13] Speaker 1: It don't matter.
[1:43:14] Speaker 4: He could have got $ 520, 000 already.
[1:43:16] Speaker 1: No, no, no. But it don't matter. He wouldn't be
[1:43:19] Speaker 1: as aggressive right now if that was the case. No, no, no.
[1:43:22] Speaker 1: If he got his whole, let's just say he got
[1:43:24] Speaker 1: his whole check. It's bad, bro. What I'm saying is.
[1:43:27] Speaker 5: Let's say they wrote a check which is not in
[1:43:29] Speaker 5: his contract. Let's just say they gave him a check
[1:43:31] Speaker 5: for $ 49 million and he's just spending the rest of
[1:43:33] Speaker 5: the year. And throughout the contract, it's still, what's the
[1:43:37] Speaker 5: name of it, per game.
[1:43:37] Speaker 1: Yep. So that means if there's $ 20 million left, he
[1:43:42] Speaker 1: has to write a check for $ 20 million. Yep.
[1:43:44] Speaker 4: But for me, I'm saying you can't suspend somebody.
[1:43:48] Speaker 1: Indefinitely for that. They did. They did.
[1:43:52] Speaker 4: I'm willing to bet that he'd get most of that
[1:43:54] Speaker 4: money back.
[1:43:55] Speaker 1: Nick, you think this scenario right here, where you playing
[1:43:59] Speaker 1: on this team. Hold on, let me give you this scenario.
[1:44:02] Speaker 1: The scenario is you on this team, the Miami Heat,
[1:44:05] Speaker 1: you are. You are Jimmy Butler. You and the coach
[1:44:08] Speaker 1: got some spat, but you the star of the team, Nick.
[1:44:11] Speaker 1: Everybody looking, waiting for you to come in. You come in,
[1:44:13] Speaker 1: everybody like, all right, we're about to run the plays. Hey, Highsmith,
[1:44:16] Speaker 1: you in for Nick. You like, what would you mean? Oh, yeah,
[1:44:19] Speaker 1: Highsmith's going to start this game. And then you're like, man,
[1:44:22] Speaker 1: fuck this, man. And you walk out. How you think, one,
[1:44:26] Speaker 1: we looking at you as a team?
[1:44:30] Speaker 6: And we struggling?
[1:44:31] Speaker 1: And we struggling.
[1:44:32] Speaker 4: We looking at you the same way we been looking
[1:44:34] Speaker 4: at you.
[1:44:35] Speaker 3: Like you not our real leader, right?
[1:44:37] Speaker 4: You ain't on the team, but everybody's looking at you.
[1:44:38] Speaker 3: So how the coaches looking at you?
[1:44:40] Speaker 1: But they know we don't want to be there. All right,
[1:44:42] Speaker 1: so now, if you know you don't want to be there,
[1:44:44] Speaker 1: you at this practice, and you got this type of energy,
[1:44:47] Speaker 1: why the fuck would we want you near us?
[1:44:49] Speaker 4: Well, we got this type of energy because you doing bullshit.
[1:44:53] Speaker 4: Every time I been coming back, I start. But now
[1:44:56] Speaker 4: I can't start this time?
[1:44:58] Speaker 1: Because you got in front of the camera and you said,
[1:45:01] Speaker 1: I'm not happy in Miami and it's never going to
[1:45:03] Speaker 1: be me happy in Miami again. But you started me
[1:45:06] Speaker 1: after that. You know. You started me after that. I
[1:45:08] Speaker 1: can't get my joy back.
[1:45:09] Speaker 3: You started me after that.
[1:45:10] Speaker 1: It don't matter.
[1:45:11] Speaker 3: You started me after that.
[1:45:11] Speaker 1: Because we're trying to showcase you.

[1:45:24] Speaker 1: Okay. But I've been doing that. But that's the reason why.
[1:45:27] Speaker 4: But you, I've been doing that.
[1:45:29] Speaker 1: But that's the reason why.
[1:45:30] Speaker 4: But you can't just start suspending me for shit you've been.
[1:45:33] Speaker 1: Letting me do. You can't tell me what I can
[1:45:35] Speaker 1: and can't do. I just haven't been doing it to you.

[1:46:28] Speaker 1: what the fuck you wanted to do.
[1:46:29] Speaker 3: Because I'm a starter.
[1:46:30] Speaker 1: Right? Because you're a starter now. Oh, Nick is our

[1:49:00] Speaker 1: Jimmy can't do that. Is that a nightclub?
[1:49:02] Speaker 4: You want to switch the whole normal safety back?
[1:49:05] Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to go to the bar, baby. What
[1:49:07] Speaker 1: happened to your privilege? You used to go to the
[1:49:09] Speaker 1: bar every Wednesday. We can't go no more. Every Wednesday,
[1:49:12] Speaker 1: we used to go out. Now you can't go no more?
[1:49:15] Speaker 1: Now you can't go?
[1:49:15] Speaker 6: Now you can't go to the bar?
[1:49:17] Speaker 1: I thought you was the lead dog. I thought you
[1:49:19] Speaker 1: was the man. I thought you was the boss. You
[1:49:23] Speaker 1: got to read the room, dog. You ain't read the room.
[1:49:25] Speaker 1: Tell him. Tell him. BJ trying to teach you something. Bro,
[1:49:27] Speaker 1: you got to read the room.
[1:49:28] Speaker 3: No, you can't.
[1:49:29] Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, read the room. You got to read the room.
[1:49:31] Speaker 1: He don't have to. He don't have to. Hey, man,
[1:49:33] Speaker 1: I'm about to come over. Yes, he does. Yeah, you
[1:49:34] Speaker 1: can't come over right now. You can't come over right now.
[1:49:37] Speaker 1: What you mean? What you mean? I come over every Wednesday.
[1:49:39] Speaker 1: Not this Wednesday. Not this Wednesday. Not this Wednesday.
[1:49:42] Speaker 6: Bro, if you're not playing, you need to shut up.
[1:49:44] Speaker 4: But that's only if you want to stay there.
[1:49:48] Speaker 1: That was it right there. That was the warning. Yo,
[1:49:49] Speaker 1: stop talking. Stop talking.
[1:49:51] Speaker 6: Yo, you're just talking. Yo, you're doing a lot of
[1:49:53] Speaker 6: other stuff. The reason we say this is... Like, you
[1:49:54] Speaker 6: over here doing your grants. You over here playing. Yo,
[1:49:56] Speaker 6: you think we playing or what?
[1:49:57] Speaker 1: All right.
[1:49:57] Speaker 5: You know their only goal. Like, the problem is this.
[1:50:00] Speaker 5: Their only goal is to take your money. That's all
[1:50:03] Speaker 5: they have. They think you value money. So their whole
[1:50:07] Speaker 5: job is to take it from you.
[1:50:09] Speaker 1: Yep. Right? So if you shut up and you just
[1:50:13] Speaker 1: said home, you get their money and you don't have
[1:50:16] Speaker 1: to play. Right? If they do what they did, take
[1:50:20] Speaker 1: your money.
[1:50:22] Speaker 5: Now they're gonna say, you can go the fuck home, man.
[1:50:24] Speaker 1: You can go to Disneyland. You can fly. Whatever you want.
[1:50:27] Speaker 1: It's not gonna be on my dollar. You have to
[1:50:30] Speaker 1: know that trap was coming.
[1:50:31] Speaker 4: You could suspend somebody for about seven games. You can't
[1:50:34] Speaker 4: suspend somebody indefinitely like the whole season.
[1:50:37] Speaker 1: This is the fourth infraction, Nick. Nick, this is your
[1:50:40] Speaker 1: fourth infraction, bro. It's insubordination. Do you know what that
[1:50:45] Speaker 1: word is? You know what insubordination means? No, no, no, no, no. Okay, remember,
[1:50:51] Speaker 1: I got suspended. You remember, I got suspended. You remember,
[1:50:55] Speaker 1: I got suspended.
[1:50:56] Speaker 5: I didn't get suspended for guns in a locker room.
[1:50:58] Speaker 5: I got suspended for detrimental to the team, right? And
[1:51:01] Speaker 5: I said, the worst penalty you want as an NBA
[1:51:05] Speaker 5: player with the NBA rules It's detrimental to the team.
[1:51:10] Speaker 5: Because that has no number on it.
[1:51:12] Speaker 1: It can be one game or it can be 82.
[1:51:16] Speaker 2: Right?
[1:51:16] Speaker 1: Because it's mental.
[1:51:17] Speaker 5: They're saying mentally he's not available. And because he's not
[1:51:22] Speaker 5: mentally available, we're going to spend him indefinitely until we
[1:51:26] Speaker 5: reevaluate him.
[1:51:27] Speaker 1: Remember, now I get to reevaluate you. So I'm like, hey, Jimmy.
[1:51:32] Speaker 1: How you doing?

[1:51:50] Speaker 1: detrimental to the team.
[1:51:51] Speaker 3: Is there a problem?

[1:51:53] Speaker 3: You're a problem. You're a mental problem. You're a mental problem.

[1:55:00] Speaker 4: I think when he came back with the dress, they knew.
[1:55:02] Speaker 1: They're not suspending him for that. They said something is
[1:55:03] Speaker 1: going to happen. They're just saying everything you're doing is
[1:55:06] Speaker 1: just something. Something smells. When Kai Jones.

[1:56:27] Speaker 1: All right. So everything checks out?
[1:56:28] Speaker 3: Good.
[1:56:29] Speaker 1: All right. This motherfucker's still crazy, y'all. This motherfucker's still crazy.
[1:56:33] Speaker 1: How can you call me crazy? That's the shit I'm
[1:56:36] Speaker 1: talking about. I'm interviewing you, motherfucker. I'm crazy. He's crazy.
[1:56:41] Speaker 1: He can't come back. Can I tell you?
[1:56:42] Speaker 3: Can I tell you how?
[1:56:44] Speaker 1: I can set up an expectation for you. I can say, Nick,
[1:56:48] Speaker 1: he don't like when you say he can't shoot. So
[1:56:52] Speaker 1: in the interview, hey, Nick, See, you're shooting 30%. We
[1:56:56] Speaker 1: don't want you taking no more shots. Your response to
[1:56:59] Speaker 1: what I'm saying is going to be based on whether
[1:57:02] Speaker 1: or not you're mentally ready to handle, to handle, to
[1:57:06] Speaker 1: handle it. Hey, Nick, so if I tell you, Nick,
[1:57:09] Speaker 1: we're running this play for Gil. Because Gil is shooting 50%.
[1:57:13] Speaker 1: And you're shooting 30. Everything you want to hear. It's okay.
[1:57:17] Speaker 1: I don't need to shoot that ball. Yeah, yeah. I
[1:57:19] Speaker 1: don't need to. Because you're trying to pass the test, Nick.
[1:57:22] Speaker 1: You're trying to pass the test.
[1:57:23] Speaker 4: How can you determine if I'm trying to pass or not?
[1:57:26] Speaker 1: You know why? You're not a fucking psychologist. They're not psychologists. Yes,
[1:57:30] Speaker 1: they are, bro. They sent a psychologist in to test you.
[1:57:33] Speaker 4: The rookie transition, nigga.
[1:57:35] Speaker 1: The rookie transition.
[1:57:36] Speaker 3: I'm going to work on my jump shot.
[1:57:38] Speaker 1: Your name is not Jimmy anymore.
[1:57:39] Speaker 3: It gets better, but I'm going to try my hardest. Okay,
[1:57:42] Speaker 3: now we're going to play you now, Jimmy. We'll play
[1:57:43] Speaker 3: you now.
[1:57:44] Speaker 1: No!
[1:57:44] Speaker 2: We'll play you, Jimmy.
[1:57:45] Speaker 1: No! We'll play you. No!
[1:57:48] Speaker 6: I don't give a fuck what you said.
[1:57:50] Speaker 4: That's what I'm trying to say.
[1:57:51] Speaker 1: See, he said that, and I got a playoff. Because
[1:57:53] Speaker 1: if I'm paying you $ 30 million, right, or $ 46 million,
[1:57:57] Speaker 1: whatever he's getting paid, and you talking about you cool
[1:58:00] Speaker 1: with being an eighth man, you cool, you crazy steal.
[1:58:03] Speaker 1: You can't win this one. You can't, yeah. way. I
[1:58:10] Speaker 1: don't want to write a check. Thank you. That's what
[1:58:13] Speaker 1: I'm saying. This is bullshit. You can't do this. That's
[1:58:15] Speaker 1: too much power. Nick, Nick, Nick. You can do whatever
[1:58:18] Speaker 1: you want to a player. So you're telling me you
[1:58:20] Speaker 1: can do whatever you want to a player. Nick, where's
[1:58:21] Speaker 1: your accountability? Where's your accountability?
[1:58:24] Speaker 4: So you can step.
[1:58:26] Speaker 1: Over my lines? Nick, you can step over my lines?
[1:58:30] Speaker 1: You can step over my lines?
[1:58:32] Speaker 4: You can step over my lines, though?
[1:58:34] Speaker 1: Tell him about the good lines, y'all. You can tell me,
[1:58:37] Speaker 1: you determine if I'm crazy or not.
[1:58:40] Speaker 3: I'm a slave.
[1:58:40] Speaker 1: Did New York City say he was tired? Did New
[1:58:43] Speaker 1: York City say he was tired on my block? On
[1:58:48] Speaker 1: my block? You tied? What did I tell you to do, boy?
[1:58:52] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. And why are you not doing it?
[1:58:55] Speaker 4: Why are you not doing it? Alright, you know where
[1:58:58] Speaker 4: you go when you don't do it?
[1:58:59] Speaker 3: I'm going to the house.
[1:59:01] Speaker 1: Take your ass to the house. Now guess what's in
[1:59:03] Speaker 1: the house? All the shit you don't like. You don't
[1:59:06] Speaker 1: get the meal you get. You don't get to fly
[1:59:08] Speaker 1: to where you want to go.
[1:59:09] Speaker 5: Guess where you're at?
[1:59:10] Speaker 1: You're in the doghouse, boy. You put yourself in the
[1:59:14] Speaker 1: doghouse because you wanted to step over the goddamn line.
[1:59:17] Speaker 1: You habitual line stepper, you. Welcome to the gun line, boss.
[1:59:23] Speaker 1: I think you're missing this part of it.
[1:59:25] Speaker 3: I'm missing it. You came indefinitely for it.
[1:59:27] Speaker 1: No, what I'm saying is, if I write your check, right?
[1:59:33] Speaker 2: I write it.
[1:59:34] Speaker 1: Yeah. you have to make me want to write it.
[1:59:39] Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
[1:59:40] Speaker 5: Just because we signed a contract, motherfucker, don't mean I owe.
[1:59:44] Speaker 1: You this shit.
[1:59:45] Speaker 6: Right. Like, I don't give a fuck what, like, if I.
[1:59:48] Speaker 1: Say you, I'm not writing this check, you better tap,
[1:59:51] Speaker 1: damn it. Prove, yeah, prove it. Why do I got it? Yes.
[1:59:54] Speaker 1: Because it's my wallet. It's my wallet.
[1:59:56] Speaker 4: But think about what I've done for you, though.
[1:59:59] Speaker 1: But he paid you already.
[2:00:00] Speaker 3: No!
[2:00:00] Speaker 4: You didn't pay me and I'm thinking about what I
[2:00:03] Speaker 4: done for you.
[2:00:04] Speaker 1: You in the last of your contract of what I
[2:00:06] Speaker 1: paid you for phone. And you started this shit. And
[2:00:09] Speaker 1: you started all of this. You better tap this. No,
[2:00:12] Speaker 1: you started.
[2:00:13] Speaker 4: If I said Gil, if I'm on the thing that
[2:00:15] Speaker 4: said Gil, y'all would have got these numbers. If I
[2:00:19] Speaker 4: was there, people at home shouldn't talk.
[2:00:22] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:00:22] Speaker 3: What the fuck?
[2:00:24] Speaker 4: People like us talk like that.
[2:00:25] Speaker 1: We just talking.
[2:00:26] Speaker 4: But you came back to the side way. Don't you
[2:00:28] Speaker 4: post it.
[2:00:29] Speaker 1: Why I can't post that? Because you wasn't playing. But
[2:00:31] Speaker 1: I'm saying if I was a part of the team,
[2:00:32] Speaker 1: we would have won. Because you wasn't playing.
[2:00:34] Speaker 3: I'm saying something positive, though.
[2:00:35] Speaker 1: Yeah, you are. That's not, that's negative? No. No, you
[2:00:38] Speaker 1: saying that?
[2:00:40] Speaker 6: Thank you, that's what I'm saying.
[2:00:42] Speaker 1: Okay. You not doing it? Listen, listen, that's the way
[2:00:44] Speaker 1: he's saying it. That's a part of it.
[2:00:46] Speaker 4: That's a part of it.
[2:00:47] Speaker 1: Listen to what he's saying.
[2:00:48] Speaker 6: You saying that and you still got to go out
[2:00:50] Speaker 6: there and compete and not doing that?
[2:00:52] Speaker 1: Then be quiet. That's why he don't want you saying it.
[2:00:53] Speaker 1: Stop talking. Because you're not playing. Stop saying what you
[2:00:56] Speaker 1: want to do.
[2:00:56] Speaker 4: But when I'm out there, I play hard as fuck.
[2:00:58] Speaker 1: Right, but you're just saying.
[2:00:59] Speaker 4: We done beat the fucking Celtics with a team that shouldn't.
[2:01:02] Speaker 1: Even be in the playoffs. After he called you out,
[2:01:05] Speaker 1: you didn't do that. After he called you out, you
[2:01:07] Speaker 1: took us nowhere. So go do it.
[2:01:09] Speaker 3: I was hurt last year.
[2:01:10] Speaker 1: So are you hurt this year? But that's the last year.
[2:01:13] Speaker 6: We're talking about now.
[2:01:14] Speaker 1: Right now. That started a fire. But that's not what
[2:01:19] Speaker 1: burned this house down. That's not what happened. But that's
[2:01:22] Speaker 1: a part of it. No, that started it. You could
[2:01:24] Speaker 1: have put that out right there. You could have put
[2:01:26] Speaker 1: it out, yes. But you put some water on it.
[2:01:29] Speaker 1: Not even addressing it. Don't even address it. That's Pat
[2:01:31] Speaker 1: being Pat. How did he address it? How did Jimmy
[2:01:36] Speaker 1: address it? Jimmy came into the next summer, he really
[2:01:40] Speaker 1: didn't play. He was just on his 75% Jimmy shit.
[2:01:43] Speaker 1: Came in this year, died his hair, died his hair. Listen,
[2:01:46] Speaker 1: died his hair, died his hair.
[2:01:47] Speaker 6: Remember, Jimmy came out and said, yo, I don't start
[2:01:49] Speaker 6: playing until I win?
[2:01:50] Speaker 1: Which one?
[2:01:51] Speaker 6: So that's what started it, too, though.
[2:01:52] Speaker 1: Listen to what he's saying.
[2:01:53] Speaker 2: He didn't get his extension this summer. Pat Riley told
[2:01:56] Speaker 2: him to shut his mouth because he was hurt.
[2:01:58] Speaker 1: And he didn't get the extension. But listen to what
[2:02:00] Speaker 1: B just said. But what did Jimmy say?
[2:02:01] Speaker 6: Jimmy said, I don't start playing hard to win.
[2:02:03] Speaker 1: Until after All-Star. Bro, you said it in the preview. Bro,
[2:02:07] Speaker 1: come on.
[2:02:07] Speaker 4: We know that this playoff champion is bigger than what
[2:02:10] Speaker 4: the record is saying.
[2:02:10] Speaker 1: But you can't get $ 250 million from me and you're
[2:02:12] Speaker 1: only 75% showing up. You can't say that.
[2:02:14] Speaker 4: I'm getting to the dance.
[2:02:16] Speaker 1: I'm getting to where you want to be at. But
[2:02:18] Speaker 1: I got to pay you, dawg. But I'm getting there.
[2:02:20] Speaker 1: Fuck your numbers.
[2:02:22] Speaker 6: Do I like you or not?
[2:02:23] Speaker 1: I'm getting near.
[2:02:24] Speaker 6: Nigga.
[2:02:25] Speaker 1: So you got to like everybody.
[2:02:26] Speaker 3: Okay.
[2:02:27] Speaker 4: Thank you.
[2:02:27] Speaker 1: That's what it is.
[2:02:28] Speaker 3: So tell me what it is.
[2:02:30] Speaker 1: He proved it. He proved it. You can do what
[2:02:34] Speaker 1: the fuck you want to do. If I don't like you,
[2:02:37] Speaker 1: your numbers don't mean shit. Right. It's my wallet. If
[2:02:41] Speaker 1: you average 10 points and I fuck with you.
[2:02:44] Speaker 6: I will give you whatever you want.
[2:02:45] Speaker 4: Who lives with somebody they don't fucking like?
[2:02:48] Speaker 1: A lot of people. A lot of people. A lot
[2:02:51] Speaker 1: of people. A lot of people do. A lot of people.
[2:02:54] Speaker 1: A lot of people. A lot of motherfuckers do. A
[2:02:55] Speaker 1: lot of motherfuckers do. A lot of motherfuckers do. A
[2:03:05] Speaker 1: lot of motherfuckers. Thank you. The best time of her life.
[2:03:09] Speaker 1: Have you ever heard a motherfucker stay married to his family?
[2:03:12] Speaker 1: A lot of motherfuckers stay married. A lot of motherfuckers
[2:03:15] Speaker 1: stay married. When he went to work, she'd be in
[2:03:16] Speaker 1: the house like, hell yeah. No dick, no dick. But
[2:03:22] Speaker 1: everybody like that. She watching the show right now like, shit, Tom, hey, kids.
[2:03:25] Speaker 6: A lot of niggas playing right now. You got about 30.
[2:03:29] Speaker 1: Minutes to the straight, man. We're going to bury you, boy.
[2:03:33] Speaker 2: We asked the chat, does Jimmy deserve the indefinite suspension? 61%
[2:03:37] Speaker 2: said no. Shout out to the chat.
[2:03:38] Speaker 3: Thank you.
[2:03:39] Speaker 2: Thank you. Unfortunately, you guys are not on the Miami Heat.
[2:03:41] Speaker 1: All right. I won. You have no say in this. No, no,
[2:03:44] Speaker 1: we're not. We're just saying we get it, though.
[2:03:46] Speaker 3: Don't switch it up now, motherfucker.
[2:03:47] Speaker 1: No. Don't die on that heel, motherfucker. Don't die on
[2:03:50] Speaker 1: the heel. I ain't fucking with the chat anyway. You
[2:03:53] Speaker 1: know what?
[2:03:53] Speaker 3: Why now you don't fuck with the chat?
[2:03:55] Speaker 6: Oh, no, they was wrong.
[2:03:56] Speaker 2: They was wrong.
[2:03:57] Speaker 1: They was wrong. What were they wrong about you? You
[2:03:59] Speaker 1: got to read the room, dog.
[2:04:00] Speaker 3: Come on, that one right there?
[2:04:01] Speaker 1: No, they were wrong on something else. Bro, you gotta
[2:04:04] Speaker 1: read the room, bro. You gotta read the room.
[2:04:05] Speaker 6: You gotta read the room, bro. You gotta know when
[2:04:07] Speaker 6: it's hot.
[2:04:08] Speaker 1: Period. Was it Wednesday?
[2:04:10] Speaker 2: Like, Wednesday, when we ranked NBA teams?
[2:04:14] Speaker 1: Mm. And how many percent said they agreed Rashad? 52.
[2:04:19] Speaker 2: 52 percent.
[2:04:20] Speaker 1: Them fucking 52 percent was wrong.
[2:04:22] Speaker 2: We're going to talk about it later in the show.
[2:04:24] Speaker 2: We got one more thing to get to before we
[2:04:26] Speaker 2: get to that. We will address that grievance. But let's
[2:04:30] Speaker 2: talk a little bit about Ant-Man. It's a double win.
[2:04:32] Speaker 2: So after complaining about double teams to start 2025, Ant-Man
[2:04:36] Speaker 2: has been getting to work as he looks to get
[2:04:38] Speaker 2: the Wolf Squad back to being a contender in the West.
[2:04:41] Speaker 2: In a rematch of last season's Western Semis against the
[2:04:43] Speaker 2: Nuggets this weekend in Minnesota, Ant had no problem against
[2:04:46] Speaker 2: the reigning MVP in his Denver squad. Let us take
[2:04:48] Speaker 2: a look. So Ant finished with 34 points on 14
[2:04:52] Speaker 2: of 23 shooting. Three for nine from deep. He also
[2:04:57] Speaker 2: had nine assists as the Wolves cruised to an easy
[2:05:00] Speaker 2: 29-point win. Ant also set the Wolves record for career threes.
[2:05:05] Speaker 2: His 976 threes passed Carl Anthony Towns, who had the
[2:05:09] Speaker 2: previous record, of 975. So, Wolves got it done on
[2:05:14] Speaker 2: both sides. Jokic saw his streak snap to five straight
[2:05:17] Speaker 2: games with a triple-double. He had 20 points, 11 assists,
[2:05:20] Speaker 2: three rebounds, and seven turnovers in this game. After losing
[2:05:25] Speaker 2: three of their previous four games, the Wolves have now
[2:05:27] Speaker 2: won two straight with wins over the Mavs and this
[2:05:32] Speaker 2: Nuggets squad.
[2:05:33] Speaker 1: That Joker move.
[2:05:34] Speaker 2: Let's watch some MMA.
[2:05:38] Speaker 1: Oh, logo.
[2:05:40] Speaker 2: What's that 32-footer name?
[2:05:42] Speaker 6: You know what time it is.
[2:05:43] Speaker 3: I hope we don't talk basketball.
[2:05:46] Speaker 2: We will be talking basketball.
[2:05:47] Speaker 1: Because this is nasty defense, bro.
[2:05:50] Speaker 2: So back in early January, you guys remember Ant voiced
[2:05:53] Speaker 2: his frustrations on dealing with double teams. You guys all
[2:05:55] Speaker 2: said that he should have kept that to himself because
[2:05:57] Speaker 2: that's what teams were going to be throwing at him. Well,
[2:06:00] Speaker 2: during the broadcast Saturday, ESPN's Mark Jones revealed that Ant
[2:06:03] Speaker 2: Man sought the advice of the man that many considered
[2:06:05] Speaker 2: to be his father, saying, I was told by someone
[2:06:08] Speaker 2: in his circle... that three weeks ago, Ant reached out
[2:06:11] Speaker 2: to Michael Jordan on advice on how to handle some
[2:06:13] Speaker 2: of the double teams and traps that he's seeing. He's
[2:06:16] Speaker 2: been extremely frustrated up until late. So advice has been
[2:06:20] Speaker 2: paying off. In the 33 games prior to making those
[2:06:23] Speaker 2: comments about double teams, Ant was averaging 25 points and
[2:06:26] Speaker 2: four assists. The Wolves were 17 and 16 in those games.
[2:06:29] Speaker 2: In the 12 games since, Ant is averaging 32 points
[2:06:32] Speaker 2: and six assists. The Wolves are seven and five in
[2:06:35] Speaker 2: that stretch. So what do you think about Ant, man?
[2:06:37] Speaker 2: Reaching out to MJ to seek advice on how to
[2:06:39] Speaker 2: attack double teams. I would say first for your answer,
[2:06:41] Speaker 2: you could have just watched that episode of Gil's Arena. Gil,
[2:06:43] Speaker 2: I feel like you explained it very well. Saved himself
[2:06:46] Speaker 2: some bread. But nonetheless, what do y'all think about Ant
[2:06:49] Speaker 2: reaching out to MJ for advice on double teams?
[2:06:52] Speaker 1: Gil, we'll start with you. What year are we in?
[2:06:56] Speaker 1: The year is 2025. What year was Michael Jordan getting double? No,
[2:07:03] Speaker 1: I'm just.
[2:07:05] Speaker 2: 90s, early 2000s, much like Cash Money's takeover.
[2:07:08] Speaker 5: So the double teams that MJ was seeing with the
[2:07:12] Speaker 5: illegal defense rules then wouldn't even apply here.
[2:07:16] Speaker 1: Like, the concept, I get it. Just being double, what
[2:07:18] Speaker 1: do you do?
[2:07:19] Speaker 5: But MJ wasn't doing pick and rolls, getting doubled off
[2:07:22] Speaker 5: of pick and roll. You know, his ISO work, somebody
[2:07:25] Speaker 5: coming from the baseline side, somebody coming.
[2:07:27] Speaker 1: You know, he's playing with the ball.
[2:07:29] Speaker 6: So that's a very different....
[2:07:33] Speaker 1: I mean, I.
[2:07:33] Speaker 5: Don't know what the conversation's like, but, you know, it's.
[2:07:38] Speaker 1: Two different styles of play. Who should he have text?
[2:07:44] Speaker 3: Well, he can't call Kobe.
[2:07:46] Speaker 6: Like a player that gets, like, step carry?
[2:07:49] Speaker 2: A guy that fits that mold? No.
[2:07:54] Speaker 1: Like a guy that... KD, right?
[2:07:57] Speaker 5: You're talking about, like, you know, Steph is a different
[2:07:59] Speaker 5: type of player. Somebody's going to do... But it's a
[2:08:01] Speaker 5: different type of doubling.
[2:08:03] Speaker 1: So KD, Luka, but he's young.
[2:08:06] Speaker 2: So KD.
[2:08:09] Speaker 6: Jason Tatum?
[2:08:10] Speaker 1: He gets doubled a lot. You can't call somebody in
[2:08:13] Speaker 1: your career.
[2:08:14] Speaker 3: What kind of doubles are we talking about?
[2:08:17] Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't see not one.
[2:08:19] Speaker 3: What kind of doubles are we talking about?
[2:08:20] Speaker 5: Him?
[2:08:21] Speaker 3: Just period. All the people were just trying.
[2:08:24] Speaker 1: To figure out what is the double that we're actually
[2:08:26] Speaker 1: seeing that's making them throw the ball somewhere.
[2:08:29] Speaker 6: Somebody's just standing right there.
[2:08:31] Speaker 1: Pick and roll doubles?
[2:08:32] Speaker 3: Like I'm saying, I don't... That's what I'm looking at
[2:08:34] Speaker 3: right now.
[2:08:34] Speaker 6: Somebody's just standing there.
[2:08:36] Speaker 1: Let's play this clip back of Ant-Man and Denver and
[2:08:39] Speaker 1: them again. Let's look at Joker's defense on Ant-Man in
[2:08:43] Speaker 1: the pick and roll. Now, we're talking about Ant-Man being
[2:08:46] Speaker 1: a threat, right? Ant-Man being a real threat, this is
[2:08:51] Speaker 1: all ISO.
[2:08:52] Speaker 6: One-on-one.
[2:08:53] Speaker 1: It's a double. That's all one-on-one.
[2:08:54] Speaker 3: Nobody's running at him. It's all just, you know, quick goes.
[2:08:58] Speaker 1: One-on-one. Nothing going on here. Nothing to see.
[2:09:01] Speaker 6: Fast break.
[2:09:03] Speaker 1: He's going to get something easy here. I think this
[2:09:05] Speaker 1: is the half where he actually does it. All right,
[2:09:07] Speaker 1: slow down. Stop.
[2:09:10] Speaker 3: Well, keep it going. Keep it going.
[2:09:11] Speaker 2: Keep it going.
[2:09:12] Speaker 1: Keep it going. Right here. Stop. All right. So what
[2:09:17] Speaker 1: we're seeing here is Joker. Look where Joker is. Y'all
[2:09:24] Speaker 1: see where Joker is? Yeah, but every big don't play
[2:09:26] Speaker 1: like that. I get it. But most of the bigs do. 80%
[2:09:30] Speaker 1: of the bigs play would do what Joker doing. Now, granted,
[2:09:33] Speaker 1: we don't really praise Joker for defense. Whoever's teaching him
[2:09:36] Speaker 1: this shit should be criticized for sure. Ant-Man get to
[2:09:40] Speaker 1: do whatever the fuck he want to do with this
[2:09:41] Speaker 1: type of defense playing against him every night. He can
[2:09:44] Speaker 1: have 32 a game.
[2:09:46] Speaker 3: We're talking about him complaining.
[2:09:47] Speaker 1: About double teams. If he was going to get double teams,
[2:09:49] Speaker 1: Joker needed to be up. Right? And if he was
[2:09:53] Speaker 1: doubled right there, where would he throw it to?
[2:09:56] Speaker 6: The guy that's screening.
[2:09:57] Speaker 4: Right?
[2:09:58] Speaker 1: Or to the guy who's coming to double. Whoever the
[2:10:00] Speaker 1: double man is, throw it to his guy, right? So
[2:10:02] Speaker 1: we look here and we're like, all right, Ant-Man comes off.
[2:10:06] Speaker 1: This man's standing back. So if this man's standing back,
[2:10:10] Speaker 1: there can't be no double. There's no pressure. Ant-Man actually
[2:10:13] Speaker 1: visibly gets to do whatever he wants to all the time.
[2:10:16] Speaker 1: when he comes off a pick and roll, especially with
[2:10:18] Speaker 1: a lazy big. But we talk about him calling Michael
[2:10:21] Speaker 1: Jordan to say, well, what do I do when I'm
[2:10:23] Speaker 1: getting doubled in a pick and roll? What kind of
[2:10:26] Speaker 1: patience do I need to have? When you got this
[2:10:28] Speaker 1: guy over here wide open, you can pass to. You
[2:10:31] Speaker 1: got this guy rising. This guy has to take the double.
[2:10:34] Speaker 1: You can always throw back to the rise guy. And
[2:10:36] Speaker 1: then you always got this straight pass to the corner
[2:10:39] Speaker 1: because this guy has to help too. But these are
[2:10:41] Speaker 1: all easy foundational things that just, you know, you know.
[2:10:45] Speaker 1: What is Michael Jordan going to say to Ant-Man in
[2:10:48] Speaker 1: a double team when you just told us we don't
[2:10:50] Speaker 1: have a reason to double you?
[2:10:52] Speaker 6: Well, some of these guys got to stop texting these greats.
[2:10:58] Speaker 1: They're not answering.
[2:10:58] Speaker 2: Mr. B, why do they have to stop? If Ant
[2:11:01] Speaker 2: can connect with MJ.
[2:11:03] Speaker 6: Like you said, it's different eras. But I want to
[2:11:07] Speaker 6: see the film of where he's getting doubled. Last night,
[2:11:08] Speaker 6: I mean, the night against Denver, I mean, well, he's
[2:11:10] Speaker 6: not going to get doubled because, you know.
[2:11:12] Speaker 1: It's Denver. Denver don't respect you to double you like that.
[2:11:15] Speaker 1: We lost respect for the fact that we was doubling
[2:11:17] Speaker 1: you at first because we had a reason to. Because
[2:11:19] Speaker 1: we didn't know if it made you uncomfortable or not.
[2:11:21] Speaker 1: But now, we know not to double you. We know
[2:11:26] Speaker 1: you don't have a solution.
[2:11:27] Speaker 3: They don't double.
[2:11:29] Speaker 6: They're not doubling.
[2:11:30] Speaker 1: For what? Yeah, yeah.
[2:11:31] Speaker 4: Because he can't run out there. Joker can't run out there.
[2:11:34] Speaker 1: But why are you doubling? Why would we double you?
[2:11:37] Speaker 1: You're not going for 50. Because he can't run out there.
[2:11:38] Speaker 1: This is what I'm saying. The threat that you used
[2:11:41] Speaker 1: to pose to us is not there no more.
[2:11:43] Speaker 3: Why isn't it?
[2:11:44] Speaker 1: Because you're not playing the same way.
[2:11:45] Speaker 6: Your threat on the court ain't Michael Jordan-like to be
[2:11:48] Speaker 6: texting him.
[2:11:48] Speaker 3: Who are you crazy as hell?
[2:11:50] Speaker 2: No, it ain't about that.
[2:11:51] Speaker 1: It's your... You know what I'm saying? You're asking to
[2:11:54] Speaker 1: how to get, like.
[2:11:57] Speaker 5: If you're playing iso basketball, okay, that's easy, right? Like, remember,
[2:12:03] Speaker 5: the guy who's defending you doesn't know where his help
[2:12:06] Speaker 5: is coming from.
[2:12:07] Speaker 3: Exactly.
[2:12:07] Speaker 1: He assumes.
[2:12:08] Speaker 3: Exactly.
[2:12:08] Speaker 1: Right?
[2:12:09] Speaker 5: So you have an advantage over them because you know
[2:12:12] Speaker 5: where they're coming. So if he's coming from this way,
[2:12:15] Speaker 5: you can fake this way, make him shift, go baseline, right?
[2:12:17] Speaker 5: Or if you want to just cut through the middle,
[2:12:18] Speaker 5: but you fake this way, he shifts.
[2:12:20] Speaker 2: You cut through the middle, right?
[2:12:22] Speaker 1: How fast is this guy?
[2:12:23] Speaker 6: How slow is this guy?
[2:12:25] Speaker 2: Always double. Attack the slowest one.
[2:12:27] Speaker 1: Every time.
[2:12:28] Speaker 5: You know, whoever the slowest one out of the two,
[2:12:30] Speaker 5: attack them.
[2:12:31] Speaker 1: Right? That's easy work.
[2:12:33] Speaker 5: You getting doubled in pick and roll, I'm sorry, that's
[2:12:36] Speaker 5: not his expertise because that's what he did.
[2:12:38] Speaker 6: Does he know how to play basketball?
[2:12:39] Speaker 4: Quick moves beat double teams anyway. Remember, your son just
[2:12:42] Speaker 4: said something about learning.
[2:12:44] Speaker 1: But you're an ISO player. His ISOs, he's.
[2:12:47] Speaker 2: Coming off pick and rolls or doubling on the pick
[2:12:49] Speaker 2: and roll. How about this?
[2:12:50] Speaker 1: Don't do pick and roll. Yeah. Go ahead. Because what
[2:12:54] Speaker 1: year is he in? Fourth? Fifth? Fifth, I believe. Fifth year.
[2:12:57] Speaker 1: It might be sixth.
[2:12:58] Speaker 3: He should know how to play basketball.
[2:12:59] Speaker 1: He should know.
[2:13:01] Speaker 6: I mean, I think he should know how to play basketball.
[2:13:04] Speaker 6: I mean, that just goes from learning.
[2:13:06] Speaker 3: So he's saying he can't never learn?
[2:13:08] Speaker 1: He's saying he should know how to beat the double
[2:13:11] Speaker 1: teams in the pick and roll by now.
[2:13:12] Speaker 6: I'm just saying, like, you were talking, because he came
[2:13:15] Speaker 6: out saying, like, you know, back in the day, guys
[2:13:17] Speaker 6: ain't playing against nobody, right? Well, like, we learn from
[2:13:20] Speaker 6: watching from the past. So you got to learn. Like,
[2:13:23] Speaker 6: you got to learn from the past. Like, you got
[2:13:24] Speaker 6: to learn from Kobe. You got to, like, Dwyane Wade,
[2:13:28] Speaker 6: all these guys. So you don't respect the past enough to, like, you.
[2:13:32] Speaker 1: Call it Mike, it's like, well.
[2:13:33] Speaker 6: Mike ain't even the guy you called the wrong nigga.
[2:13:35] Speaker 1: That's the wrong person to call. If you really knew
[2:13:38] Speaker 1: about the.
[2:13:38] Speaker 6: Game, you would be calling the Dwayne Wade.
[2:13:40] Speaker 1: You would be calling.
[2:13:41] Speaker 5: The guy who was in pick and roll and we
[2:13:44] Speaker 5: had the hard show and tried to double out of it.
[2:13:47] Speaker 3: Dwayne Wade.
[2:13:48] Speaker 5: You got to think about how you play the game.
[2:13:50] Speaker 2: That's what it was.
[2:13:53] Speaker 1: But they not guard. See, that's why I asked y'all
[2:13:55] Speaker 1: about what type of trap it was. What type of
[2:13:58] Speaker 1: trap is it? Because if it's a pick and roll trap,
[2:14:00] Speaker 1: That's the split action, go talk to Dwyane Wade. But
[2:14:03] Speaker 1: if it's, I'm post-up, ISO, and they come and hit,
[2:14:06] Speaker 1: you can't go talk to D, you gotta go talk
[2:14:08] Speaker 1: to T-Mac, you gotta go talk to Tim Duncan, you
[2:14:11] Speaker 1: gotta go- Mellow? Mellow! You gotta go talk to the nigga, like,
[2:14:13] Speaker 1: when I face up, motherfucker's coming at me, what do
[2:14:16] Speaker 1: I do?
[2:14:16] Speaker 3: If it was Kobe, you would've called. Yeah, you would've called.
[2:14:19] Speaker 6: 100,000% on the ISO move.
[2:14:20] Speaker 1: That's where he got double, so he's facing up, he
[2:14:22] Speaker 1: can see all this coming.
[2:14:22] Speaker 2: I can see it, yep.
[2:14:24] Speaker 1: That's not how.
[2:14:25] Speaker 5: You play the game, though. You're playing the game as
[2:14:27] Speaker 5: a point guard. So you got to look... They're so
[2:14:30] Speaker 5: used to getting.
[2:14:32] Speaker 1: A switch all the time. Yep.
[2:14:33] Speaker 3: But they don't have to make a move.
[2:14:35] Speaker 5: Now they get to bop against the big. Now they
[2:14:37] Speaker 5: get entrapped. And they're like, what the fuck do I
[2:14:38] Speaker 5: do now?
[2:14:40] Speaker 1: You can keep it. Attack them. You know what the
[2:14:43] Speaker 1: problem is, too? They all play this.
[2:14:47] Speaker 5: I call it slow man basketball style.
[2:14:51] Speaker 1: Where they come off the pick and roll, hold them,
[2:14:54] Speaker 1: snake them. Think about the people who did it. It's
[2:14:59] Speaker 1: little guards trying to figure out how to create space.
[2:15:02] Speaker 1: You're too athletic. You got jokers back there. You come
[2:15:05] Speaker 1: the fuck off and take them. That's Cone's shit, though.
[2:15:09] Speaker 3: It is.
[2:15:10] Speaker 1: You coming off and snaking them, holding them back. It's
[2:15:13] Speaker 1: YouTube and these trainers. Like he was saying about the
[2:15:18] Speaker 1: Jason Tatum trainer, man. If you're telling him to come
[2:15:21] Speaker 1: off the snake pick and roll like Chris Paul, like
[2:15:24] Speaker 1: this is the best option to come off the pick
[2:15:26] Speaker 1: and roll, you're a trash trainer. Because that's not his
[2:15:29] Speaker 1: attribute to come off the pick and roll and play
[2:15:32] Speaker 1: like Steve Nash was playing. No, he needs to play
[2:15:35] Speaker 1: like he plays. Downhill. Go run and dunk on him. Downhill.
[2:15:39] Speaker 1: Is Joker going to take a charge? He's sitting way
[2:15:42] Speaker 1: back there. He's still not going to take a charge
[2:15:45] Speaker 1: when you jump. He's not going to waste no foul.
[2:15:48] Speaker 1: You got to know that as a player. He's not
[2:15:51] Speaker 1: going to waste a foul on me because he's the
[2:15:53] Speaker 1: only one down there. I'm going right at his head.
[2:15:55] Speaker 1: He's going to let me go every time. John Moran,
[2:15:58] Speaker 1: when he come off the pick and roll, you know,
[2:15:59] Speaker 1: why do you think he dunkles?
[2:16:01] Speaker 5: Because he's not sitting there trying to sneak everybody, slowing
[2:16:04] Speaker 5: down his game.
[2:16:05] Speaker 1: But he'll do it.
[2:16:06] Speaker 6: He'll do it sometimes.
[2:16:07] Speaker 1: But for the most part, he's going to come off,
[2:16:09] Speaker 1: hit you, and keep his speed. That's all you do, yeah.
[2:16:11] Speaker 1: Every time, like, I'm looking at the pick and roll, like,
[2:16:14] Speaker 1: you didn't attack him once. At all. You're doing floaters
[2:16:17] Speaker 1: and stuff. He's four feet back. Look, he's in the lane.
[2:16:20] Speaker 1: Westbrook that motherfucker.
[2:16:21] Speaker 4: Or you can pull up for a mirror. Full up
[2:16:23] Speaker 4: for mid-range. They don't do mid-range. It's either three or duck.
[2:16:28] Speaker 4: You got to pull up for mid-range.
[2:16:30] Speaker 1: We talk about double teams, though. It's like, I hear, oh,
[2:16:33] Speaker 1: they double teaming me, and I ain't come out here
[2:16:35] Speaker 1: to play like this. Oh, y'all double teaming pickup? It's like, bro,
[2:16:38] Speaker 1: if we give you a double team, we're giving you
[2:16:40] Speaker 1: a compliment. But you just gave us a backhand. I
[2:16:43] Speaker 1: don't need your compliment, man. Don't be doubling me. I
[2:16:45] Speaker 1: ain't come here for all that. It's like, what? Start talking, like,
[2:16:48] Speaker 1: talk to the player.
[2:16:49] Speaker 2: Damn, you need a double team at Garvey?
[2:16:51] Speaker 1: Start talking shit. Start talking shit. All that, man. Start
[2:16:56] Speaker 1: talking shit. Yeah, dude, you're broke. Stop complaining. Mama. Mama.
[2:17:04] Speaker 6: Your girl watching you get help?
[2:17:05] Speaker 1: Huh? Really? Wow. They doubling all night tonight, coach. That's
[2:17:09] Speaker 1: what we doing, coach? And what is Superman going to do?
[2:17:11] Speaker 6: Hey, man, nah, nah, nah, I got it.
[2:17:12] Speaker 1: They doubling me tonight. They doubling me tonight. I don't
[2:17:15] Speaker 1: want to play tonight. I don't want to play tonight.
[2:17:18] Speaker 1: All I do is pass.
[2:17:19] Speaker 6: I don't want to play tonight, daddy.
[2:17:21] Speaker 1: They doubling me, dad.
[2:17:23] Speaker 6: Fuck out of here.
[2:17:24] Speaker 1: Where the daddy go, man? Is that what they're saying?
[2:17:26] Speaker 2: They're doubling me, daddy.
[2:17:28] Speaker 3: Sorry.
[2:17:29] Speaker 4: That's what they on.
[2:17:31] Speaker 1: I need them to stop. Don't text Kobe and don't
[2:17:35] Speaker 1: text me. Don't text Kobe or Mike no more.
[2:17:37] Speaker 3: No more.
[2:17:39] Speaker 2: This is not the same style.
[2:17:41] Speaker 1: Out of all the players you could be texting. Delete
[2:17:43] Speaker 1: that text. Let me take Mike because I want him
[2:17:47] Speaker 1: to know I'm talking to the best. That's all that was.
[2:17:49] Speaker 1: What the hell did Mike say?
[2:17:52] Speaker 6: Mike said take the Medina salt, put the Jordans on.
[2:17:54] Speaker 1: You want advice from me?
[2:17:55] Speaker 3: Mike said pick the drink up. Put the drink up.
[2:18:00] Speaker 3: Get you a flask.
[2:18:01] Speaker 1: Get you a flask.
[2:18:03] Speaker 6: Put your Hennessy in there.
[2:18:05] Speaker 1: I'll teach you how you get your eyes red.
[2:18:07] Speaker 4: Your eyes ain't yellow enough out there.
[2:18:09] Speaker 1: Your eyes ain't yellow enough. Your eyes ain't yellow enough
[2:18:12] Speaker 1: when you're out there playing. You ain't doing no work.
[2:18:15] Speaker 1: I'm going to send you some cigars. You ain't never
[2:18:18] Speaker 1: smoked a cigar before. You ain't dark enough. You're black,
[2:18:23] Speaker 1: but you ain't dark. You black, but you ain't dark.
[2:18:26] Speaker 1: Save that head.
[2:18:27] Speaker 2: And asking MJ for advice is, a smart move or
[2:18:30] Speaker 2: a bad move? 78% said a smart move, Gil, despite
[2:18:33] Speaker 2: your contention that MJ is too old to know what's
[2:18:35] Speaker 2: going on in the league now.
[2:18:36] Speaker 1: No, I didn't say too old.
[2:18:37] Speaker 3: No, he said competent.
[2:18:38] Speaker 5: I said the style of play, how MJ got doubled
[2:18:41] Speaker 5: and how he got doubled. It's like, oh, I'm going
[2:18:44] Speaker 5: to call Shaq on how you get doubled.
[2:18:46] Speaker 1: In the post, but I'm not a postman.
[2:18:47] Speaker 3: Not a postman.
[2:18:47] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy.
[2:18:48] Speaker 6: Seems weird.
[2:18:49] Speaker 2: I mean, it's not C-Zuid.
[2:18:50] Speaker 1: It's just the name, the wrong name.
[2:18:53] Speaker 4: Jordan didn't get double teamed when he was a rookie?
[2:18:55] Speaker 1: No, he got double.
[2:18:56] Speaker 6: No, he didn't get double.
[2:18:57] Speaker 2: He wasn't playing pick and roll.
[2:18:58] Speaker 1: I mean, he played Boston. He got doubled in the
[2:19:01] Speaker 1: post and the mid post. Yeah. But that was when
[2:19:04] Speaker 1: he got Phil. He didn't get doubled like that until
[2:19:08] Speaker 1: Phil came in and tried. I don't think he posted up.
[2:19:10] Speaker 1: Like one plays like me. Yeah. Right?
[2:19:13] Speaker 5: You're coming off pick and roll.
[2:19:14] Speaker 6: You're trying to do all this.
[2:19:15] Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
[2:19:16] Speaker 2: It's not like he's playing ice or basketball.
[2:19:17] Speaker 1: Right. The Jordan was all ISO when he first came in.
[2:19:22] Speaker 1: For sure. Hey, yo, can we talk about Nick's tweet?
[2:19:26] Speaker 1: We got to. No?
[2:19:26] Speaker 6: All right.
[2:19:27] Speaker 2: We do not have time. We'll talk about it soon, though.
[2:19:31] Speaker 2: We'll talk about it soon. But before we go.
[2:19:33] Speaker 3: I'll tweet it.
[2:19:33] Speaker 2: Before we go. So last week on the show, I
[2:19:36] Speaker 2: asked Gil, Shot, and Brandon to give out some midseason
[2:19:39] Speaker 2: grades for teams around the league. What'd he say? We
[2:19:41] Speaker 2: started with the Lakers. Gil, you gave them a C +. Brandon,
[2:19:45] Speaker 2: you gave them a D +, and Mr. Cemetery Larry
[2:19:48] Speaker 2: gave them a grade of trash, which was a custom
[2:19:50] Speaker 2: grade below a standard F. You have your own grading system,
[2:19:53] Speaker 2: as you let us know on the show. Well, Bleacher
[2:19:56] Speaker 2: Report dropped their mid-season grades, so let's take a look
[2:19:59] Speaker 2: at how the arena fared against the Squares. So, Gil,
[2:20:05] Speaker 2: it was about 11 teams that you picked. Shad, you
[2:20:07] Speaker 2: did seven. So looking at it, For the Rockets, Gill,
[2:20:13] Speaker 2: you gave them an A +, Bleacher Report gave them
[2:20:14] Speaker 2: an A, so we'll say that's in line. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
[2:20:34] Speaker 2: For the Lakers, as we mentioned, Shod, you gave them
[2:20:36] Speaker 2: a T for trash, below an F. Gil gave him
[2:20:40] Speaker 2: a C +, Bleach Board.
[2:20:41] Speaker 1: Gave him a C +.
[2:20:42] Speaker 2: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.

[2:20:52] Speaker 2: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> For the Timberwolves,
[2:20:57] Speaker 2: F +, which is an exception, man.
[2:21:02] Speaker 3: It means fucking trash. Damn, you gave a.
[2:21:05] Speaker 2: Gil gave him a D +, Bleach Board gave him
[2:21:07] Speaker 2: a D +, as well. A- of me?
[2:21:10] Speaker 1: The Grizzlies. Son, F plus, F plus. He like eating. Pistons,
[2:21:15] Speaker 1: A minus, A minus. He hates eating.
[2:21:17] Speaker 2: Gil, you had seven of those 11 picks correct with BR.
[2:21:22] Speaker 2: Four different.
[2:21:25] Speaker 5: So those 48%, we was right.
[2:21:29] Speaker 6: C plus. 52, you fuck off.
[2:21:38] Speaker 3: Lakers, C plus?
[2:21:41] Speaker 2: Oh, man.
[2:21:43] Speaker 6: You can't rank.
[2:21:44] Speaker 5: Them 10, and then they 6, and then you give
[2:21:47] Speaker 5: them a below D or F.
[2:21:50] Speaker 6: That just don't make sense.
[2:21:52] Speaker 1: I mean, the one thing that don't make sense is
[2:21:53] Speaker 1: how we can put up Bleacher Report's list and say
[2:21:56] Speaker 1: we don't respect the media's list.
[2:22:00] Speaker 6: Who says.
[2:22:04] Speaker 1: Why are you.
[2:22:04] Speaker 4: What you think of Grizzly? I've seen you then, like,
[2:22:07] Speaker 4: give him a... I would give him a C +.
[2:22:11] Speaker 3: C-plus?
[2:22:12] Speaker 1: Ain't they number two right now in the West? Yeah.
[2:22:14] Speaker 1: You don't think they overachieving? No, because I think they
[2:22:16] Speaker 1: was always been good. They just had what they didn't have.
[2:22:19] Speaker 6: They just needed Ja to get back.
[2:22:20] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:22:21] Speaker 3: I don't think that's a great bump.
[2:22:23] Speaker 1: I think they'll be there.
[2:22:23] Speaker 3: But they had the same team, though.
[2:22:25] Speaker 6: Because they was number two when Ja was playing.
[2:22:27] Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel you. I feel you. They where they
[2:22:30] Speaker 1: supposed to be.
[2:22:32] Speaker 3: They was a different team.
[2:22:33] Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm not looking at how the ratings of
[2:22:37] Speaker 1: the teams. I'm looking at how they play when I watch.
[2:22:40] Speaker 1: I'm watching you play.
[2:22:42] Speaker 6: Don't you feel like, though, with us playing in the league, right, like, us, like,
[2:22:45] Speaker 6: we know, like, we know the feeling of how the
[2:22:47] Speaker 6: season's going to go.
[2:22:48] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:22:48] Speaker 6: Like, just off the, like, forget the stats.
[2:22:51] Speaker 1: Just, like, how we feel. Yeah.
[2:22:52] Speaker 6: Right, like, you can't tell, like, who's going to win
[2:22:54] Speaker 6: and who's going to be there.
[2:22:55] Speaker 1: Yeah. You can look at somebody and, like, okay, these,
[2:22:58] Speaker 1: they're winning. They locked in. They don't look like they
[2:23:00] Speaker 1: locked in together.
[2:23:01] Speaker 6: Right.
[2:23:02] Speaker 1: Like Houston. Houston got a.
[2:23:04] Speaker 3: Locked in.
[2:23:04] Speaker 1: I'm sorry, no. But they're young.
[2:23:06] Speaker 5: No, Houston got a problem. There's a guy over there,
[2:23:09] Speaker 5: you know, I'm not going to, you know.
[2:23:10] Speaker 1: Whitmore.
[2:23:10] Speaker 2: He look like he ain't part of the group.
[2:23:12] Speaker 1: Whitmore.
[2:23:13] Speaker 3: I know who you're talking about.
[2:23:14] Speaker 1: And that might be a downfall later on if they
[2:23:16] Speaker 1: don't reel it back in because... But he not one
[2:23:18] Speaker 1: of the main guys.
[2:23:19] Speaker 2: He play enough.
[2:23:20] Speaker 1: Yeah, he does, but he not one. He's expendable.
[2:23:22] Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying?
[2:23:23] Speaker 1: You know how one bad seed can affect everybody.
[2:23:25] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[2:23:26] Speaker 1: That thing is Whitmore?
[2:23:27] Speaker 4: Huh?
[2:23:27] Speaker 3: That thing is Whitmore?
[2:23:28] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[2:23:29] Speaker 6: I don't know who it is.
[2:23:30] Speaker 4: I thought it was part of the point guard.
[2:23:32] Speaker 1: You just see that it's like, ah.
[2:23:34] Speaker 3: Because Cam better than a lot of them guys.
[2:23:37] Speaker 1: Walking off the court and all that.
[2:23:38] Speaker 3: Walking off the court attitude. You know what I'm saying?
[2:23:40] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[2:23:41] Speaker 6: Because if we talking right now, just like if we talking,
[2:23:44] Speaker 6: and if we talking about a team, I think the
[2:23:46] Speaker 6: Clippers is going to get somebody up out of here.
[2:23:48] Speaker 3: For sure.
[2:23:49] Speaker 1: I think the Clippers is better than a lot of people.
[2:23:51] Speaker 3: In the West right now.
[2:23:53] Speaker 1: I don't think it's about the Clippers.
[2:23:54] Speaker 3: I think it's Norman Powell.
[2:23:56] Speaker 1: No, no, it's the team. I think it's Norman Powell
[2:23:58] Speaker 1: who's giving the Clippers.
[2:24:00] Speaker 6: I saw them against Boston without James and Norman, and
[2:24:03] Speaker 6: I saw them against Milwaukee.
[2:24:03] Speaker 1: But you're not giving Norm credit. No, no, I am.
[2:24:06] Speaker 1: Norm should get credit for doing something that wasn't being done.
[2:24:10] Speaker 1: And now the Clippers look like a different team because
[2:24:12] Speaker 1: he's doing what he's supposed to do.
[2:24:13] Speaker 6: I think the Clippers want to go to the Western
[2:24:14] Speaker 6: Conference Finals.
[2:24:15] Speaker 4: I think so, too. I've been saying that. I think
[2:24:17] Speaker 4: the Clippers want to go to the Western Conference Finals. No,
[2:24:19] Speaker 4: I don't believe that. I'm telling you.
[2:24:20] Speaker 5: Regular season versus the playoffs is different.
[2:24:22] Speaker 1: Way different. You got to be more disciplined in the playoffs.
[2:24:25] Speaker 1: And one thing, the Clippers group don't have discipline. And
[2:24:28] Speaker 1: they got Zubac. Discipline. I think they could beat Houston.
[2:24:31] Speaker 1: They care? They're not going to play Houston.
[2:24:33] Speaker 2: They care.
[2:24:34] Speaker 1: Well, they would play us. It's 4-5.
[2:24:36] Speaker 6: They're not disciplined enough.
[2:24:38] Speaker 4: You don't think they're going to beat us?
[2:24:40] Speaker 6: No.
[2:24:41] Speaker 1: Listen, the Clippers at what spot? Hey, Clippers-Lakers matchup is
[2:24:43] Speaker 1: a good matchup. The Clippers is beating the shit out
[2:24:45] Speaker 1: of the Lakers. You ain't got no chance. They killed us.
[2:24:48] Speaker 2: Huh?
[2:24:52] Speaker 1: And the Clippers beating the shit out of the Lakers.
[2:24:53] Speaker 1: The Lakers don't even know they number one option. Get
[2:24:57] Speaker 1: the fuck out of here. The Lakers is going home.
[2:24:59] Speaker 6: Y'all got a 40-yard as your number one option.
[2:25:01] Speaker 1: Hey, get the fuck out.
[2:25:02] Speaker 2: Man, watch out.
[2:25:03] Speaker 5: The Clippers is getting y'all the fuck out of here.
[2:25:06] Speaker 4: Well, we said not to be at the five.
[2:25:09] Speaker 1: You don't want to be here. Don't let that nigga fall.
[2:25:12] Speaker 4: That was a good rebuttal.
[2:25:15] Speaker 1: I slipped in the fall. I slipped in the score.
[2:25:17] Speaker 1: Playoffs is a.
[2:25:20] Speaker 1: They ain't even wet over here. They ain't going to
[2:25:24] Speaker 1: get up. I want $ 150, 000. That is a Gills Arena Mr.
[2:25:27] Speaker 2: B approved pressure.
[2:25:28] Speaker 1: The Clippers team that had all four of them and
[2:25:30] Speaker 1: he was getting his ass mopped by Lucas. But these
[2:25:32] Speaker 1: guys are going to play.
[2:25:33] Speaker 4: Listen, I'm telling you right.
[2:25:35] Speaker 1: Now, the changes. The Clippers are nice, bro. Half court.
[2:25:38] Speaker 5: This is a fast break team and the half court
[2:25:41] Speaker 5: didn't change.
[2:25:42] Speaker 1: They're not that nice. All right, bro. I'm talking about this.
[2:25:44] Speaker 1: Half court is going to be there in the playoffs.
[2:25:46] Speaker 1: They are. They are. It's going to be there in
[2:25:48] Speaker 1: the playoffs. All right.
[2:25:50] Speaker 4: I've seen them against Milwaukee and Boston.
[2:25:52] Speaker 1: They are here.
[2:25:52] Speaker 3: Move by, go down, get them in foul. So first quarter,
[2:25:55] Speaker 3: two fouls.
[2:25:56] Speaker 1: What you going to do?
[2:25:57] Speaker 3: The other guys never played in the playoffs.
[2:25:59] Speaker 6: The Clippers go to the Western Conference Finals.
[2:26:00] Speaker 1: Yes, none of them. But these guys are going to
[2:26:03] Speaker 1: be here.
[2:26:03] Speaker 3: Half court.
[2:26:04] Speaker 2: The rest of that team don't know.
[2:26:05] Speaker 1: Nothing about discipline.
[2:26:06] Speaker 6: The Clippers going to the Western Conference Finals, bro.
[2:26:08] Speaker 1: If they run into the.
[2:26:09] Speaker 3: It's all right.
[2:26:10] Speaker 4: The only team I don't think they can beat, but
[2:26:12] Speaker 4: I still think.
[2:26:12] Speaker 1: Where the Clippers at right now?
[2:26:14] Speaker 2: Behind the Lakers, Western Conference.
[2:26:16] Speaker 1: By one. But they got more wins. No, no, don't
[2:26:18] Speaker 1: change that energy.
[2:26:19] Speaker 6: No, no, no, I'm not.
[2:26:20] Speaker 1: Oh, no, the Clippers are better than the Lakers right now.
[2:26:22] Speaker 1: It's a fact.
[2:26:23] Speaker 2: Not according to the NBA standard. A fact.
[2:26:25] Speaker 3: They beat us, though, didn't they?
[2:26:28] Speaker 2: Bronze 40.
[2:26:32] Speaker 6: Y'all best player over there scared to go upstairs and
[2:26:34] Speaker 6: tell him what he want.

[2:26:59] Speaker 1: Get the fuck out. I've been waiting to tell you this.
[2:27:03] Speaker 6: Get out of here.
[2:27:05] Speaker 1: Hawaii's going to be Hall of Famer, right? Yes.
[2:27:06] Speaker 2: Yes.
[2:27:07] Speaker 6: Paul George is going to be the first ballot Hall
[2:27:09] Speaker 6: of Famer, right?
[2:27:09] Speaker 1: Yes. They've been playing the playoffs.
[2:27:10] Speaker 6: You said Paul George is going to be first ballot? Yes.
[2:27:12] Speaker 1: Mm-mm-mm.
[2:27:13] Speaker 6: Hawaii Leonard.
[2:27:14] Speaker 1: Mr. B, I saw you turn your head. He is.
[2:27:17] Speaker 1: He is. You don't feel that way? Mm-mm-mm. He is.
[2:27:20] Speaker 2: Are you agreeing with the.
[2:27:21] Speaker 1: Hall of Fame criteria? I'm just being real with y'all.
[2:27:23] Speaker 1: Y'all think he's not going to be first ballot.
[2:27:25] Speaker 5: So they got their ass whooped by a Dallas team
[2:27:28] Speaker 5: that's going to play defense.
[2:27:29] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:27:30] Speaker 2: Facts.
[2:27:31] Speaker 4: Because there's a half court.
[2:27:33] Speaker 1: Paul George is a half.
[2:27:34] Speaker 4: Paul George is a first ballot.
[2:27:36] Speaker 1: Paul George is a Hall of Famer? First ballot. First ballot. ballot, yeah. Why? Why? Why? Why?
[2:27:42] Speaker 1: Derek Rose is, too, then. DeMar DeRozan is, too, then.
[2:27:44] Speaker 1: He is. DeMar DeRozan is first ballot. He is. First ballot?
[2:27:48] Speaker 1: DeMar DeRozan is first ballot. DeMar DeRozan is first ballot.
[2:27:51] Speaker 4: Vince DeMar DeRozan is first ballot? Y'all don't think DeMar...
[2:28:01] Speaker 4: That's crazy.
[2:28:02] Speaker 1: Let me... There's a criteria less than you being your
[2:28:07] Speaker 1: name and what you've done for the game.
[2:28:08] Speaker 3: I'd agree with you. Certain people don't belong. But the
[2:28:11] Speaker 3: criteria is set.
[2:28:12] Speaker 1: DeMar? Paul George, 97% Hall of Famer. We're talking about criteria.
[2:28:19] Speaker 1: What's the criteria for Hall of Fame? For you to
[2:28:22] Speaker 1: be like, oh, Der Rose, yes, and y'all say no.
[2:28:25] Speaker 1: Or then him say, DeRozan... Paul George, hell nah. What's
[2:28:29] Speaker 1: the criteria for y'all to say yes?
[2:28:31] Speaker 3: Basketball career.
[2:28:31] Speaker 4: Basketball career. Of course he got the All-Stars.
[2:28:34] Speaker 1: You're talking about accumulation of points and stats?
[2:28:36] Speaker 3: Career.
[2:28:37] Speaker 1: Career.
[2:28:38] Speaker 3: Career stats.
[2:28:40] Speaker 5: So Paul George has a 97%, so that's always first ballot.
[2:28:44] Speaker 1: First ballot. Okay.
[2:28:45] Speaker 2: Let's see Derrick Rose.
[2:28:47] Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure it's going to be like 5%. Give him.
[2:28:50] Speaker 1: You don't think Derrick Rose is a Hall of Famer? No,
[2:28:53] Speaker 1: he got hurt. He got a 10.
[2:28:55] Speaker 2: Derrick Rose, 10%.
[2:28:56] Speaker 1: Okay, that's fine. I feel like he'll get in on
[2:28:58] Speaker 1: the OG vote.
[2:28:59] Speaker 3: I think that put him up there.
[2:29:00] Speaker 1: That's it. That's all.
[2:29:01] Speaker 6: He's a one-time All-NBA player.
[2:29:02] Speaker 1: I know, but he said that's his one moment. So
[2:29:03] Speaker 1: what's Paul George's biggest moment? If Derrick Rose actually has
[2:29:16] Speaker 1: a moment, what's false?
[2:29:18] Speaker 4: 97%.
[2:29:18] Speaker 3: He had like seven first teams.
[2:29:20] Speaker 1: He has a career.
[2:29:22] Speaker 3: Fuck that. He talking about moments. You saying that he
[2:29:23] Speaker 3: only had a moment.
[2:29:24] Speaker 1: He said he only had a moment. Derrick Rose is
[2:29:27] Speaker 1: the youngest MVP ever. And that's the moment. His moment,
[2:29:29] Speaker 1: Derrick Rose's moment is the MVP. He's the MVP. He's
[2:29:32] Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer. He's our Hall of Famer, not
[2:29:35] Speaker 1: NBA Hall of Famer, not basketball. He has a 10% chance.
[2:29:38] Speaker 1: You're going to put the egg rolls in there.
[2:29:42] Speaker 4: You put T-Mac in there.
[2:29:44] Speaker 1: You put Grant Hill in there. You put Tony Parker
[2:29:48] Speaker 1: in there. Come on. You're going to put the egg
[2:29:50] Speaker 1: rolls in there. Yao Ming. Yao Ming made it. Yao Ming.
[2:29:54] Speaker 1: Yao Ming made it. I just want to know their
[2:29:57] Speaker 1: biggest moments.
[2:29:59] Speaker 5: Tracy McGrady, seven-time All-Star, seven-time All-NBA player, two-time scoring champ.
[2:30:05] Speaker 6: That's his stats.
[2:30:07] Speaker 3: And none of them trumps the MVP.
[2:30:09] Speaker 1: Okay, now let's go Derrick Rose. None of those trumps
[2:30:12] Speaker 1: the MVP. Yeah, facts. Facts. How many points do you
[2:30:14] Speaker 1: think you get for one MVP? Eastern Conference Finals.
[2:30:17] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[2:30:18] Speaker 1: Did T-Mac ever get there?
[2:30:18] Speaker 3: T-Mac only made it in the first round.
[2:30:20] Speaker 1: Derrick Rose, three-time All-Star, two was voted in, or all
[2:30:24] Speaker 1: three was voted in, but two, he was injured, and
[2:30:26] Speaker 1: he's an All-NBA player one time. So he got voted
[2:30:29] Speaker 1: in while he was injured? Yeah. Yeah, that's all I'm saying.
[2:30:31] Speaker 3: So he still got the All-Star.
[2:30:33] Speaker 1: Yeah, the one All-NBA.
[2:30:35] Speaker 6: That's it.
[2:30:35] Speaker 1: There's nothing like that.
[2:30:37] Speaker 4: But he got an MVP that trumps all that.
[2:30:40] Speaker 1: All that. All them sacks. An MVP. You get an
[2:30:43] Speaker 1: MVP your first year in the league. Who else? Who
[2:30:46] Speaker 1: else got it? But who else? You can't name nobody
[2:30:48] Speaker 1: else that got an MVP that had a short career
[2:30:52] Speaker 1: or anybody. Everybody has a career. You have to have
[2:30:54] Speaker 1: a career. He didn't have a career. He did because
[2:30:57] Speaker 1: he won MVP. No, he was the youngest. So it
[2:31:01] Speaker 1: happened at the earlier business career. And then he lost
[2:31:04] Speaker 1: the rest of his career. So, yes, trajectory, when he
[2:31:08] Speaker 1: won an MVP, he was at a 99% probability of
[2:31:12] Speaker 1: Hall of Fame.
[2:31:12] Speaker 3: He's going right now.
[2:31:14] Speaker 4: He is 10%, dog.
[2:31:15] Speaker 3: He's going to make it. He's going to make it
[2:31:17] Speaker 3: for sure.
[2:31:18] Speaker 1: Grant Hill made it. Grant Hill made it. Grant Hill's
[2:31:20] Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, you can't even bring up no stats.
[2:31:22] Speaker 1: You can't do all this. You can't do all this
[2:31:24] Speaker 1: with Grant Hill and be like, Grant Hill made it.
[2:31:27] Speaker 1: You can't give me no stats. You can't give me
[2:31:29] Speaker 1: no All-NBAs. You can't give me no championships. You can't
[2:31:31] Speaker 1: give me nothing to say, hey, Grant Hill deserved this.
[2:31:33] Speaker 6: What was Grant Hill?
[2:31:34] Speaker 1: How many times All-Star? How many times All-NBA player?
[2:31:37] Speaker 6: Jesus Christ.
[2:31:38] Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see. What's the MVP? He went to Duke.
[2:31:40] Speaker 1: It don't matter. Oh, now it don't matter. How does
[2:31:43] Speaker 1: it not matter? How doesn't it matter? He's the youngest MVP.
[2:31:47] Speaker 6: The youngest.
[2:31:49] Speaker 1: What happened after this? What happened to Grant Hill after
[2:31:52] Speaker 1: you talk about? What happened to Grant Hill after fucking Detroit?
[2:31:56] Speaker 1: What do you mean?
[2:31:57] Speaker 2: Seven All-Stars, five All-NBA teams.
[2:32:00] Speaker 1: Okay. Seven years. Five. Five. Seven years. Two-time NCAA champion.
[2:32:07] Speaker 1: The whole body of basketball. MVP of the league. Five.
[2:32:12] Speaker 1: Great teammate of the year. Great teammate of the year. Sportsmanship. Sportsmanship, yeah.
[2:32:16] Speaker 1: Citizen of the year. Let's get the fuck out of here.
[2:32:19] Speaker 1: We got to move on.
[2:32:20] Speaker 2: But before we get to Mosey fans, earlier in the show,
[2:32:23] Speaker 2: we talked about Jimmy Butler.
[2:32:24] Speaker 1: Fucking.
[2:32:25] Speaker 2: Indefinite suspension from the heat. It seems that Jimmy has
[2:32:27] Speaker 2: not lost his trolling ability. Let's take a look at
[2:32:31] Speaker 2: what he posted on his IG and IG story.
[2:32:34] Speaker 1: You ain't got no job, Tommy. No job. You ain't
[2:32:39] Speaker 1: got no job. See? See? Hey, that's funny, bro. All right,
[2:32:42] Speaker 1: all right. It is funny. You should get some of
[2:32:45] Speaker 1: his bread back. Give him a game back.
[2:32:46] Speaker 3: What is this supposed to.
[2:32:47] Speaker 1: I ain't got no job? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tommy never said,
[2:32:51] Speaker 1: I ain't got no job.
[2:32:52] Speaker 6: I know, but they never knew what Tommy did.
[2:32:53] Speaker 1: So what does Tommy do? So what does this have

[2:33:38] Speaker 5: On the MVP list of people who's supposed to be
[2:33:43] Speaker 5: the probability, I'm number 159 with my career.
[2:33:49] Speaker 2: Black Father Hall of Fame.
[2:33:50] Speaker 1: Eric Rose is 184. Can you name me one league

[2:33:53] Speaker 3: Yeah, please tell me.
[2:33:54] Speaker 1: Name one. There's what? Name one. There's zero. Name one. Zero.
[2:34:05] Speaker 1: That means that we're not going to start making exceptions
[2:34:07] Speaker 1: for Derrick Rose. I think just being the youngest.

[2:34:35] Speaker 6: That along right there is already stamping me.
[2:34:39] Speaker 1: I got my jersey with Chicago.
[2:34:41] Speaker 3: I was the MVP of the NBA.
[2:34:43] Speaker 1: Your emotions don't change. While LeBron James was playing, while
[2:34:46] Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant was playing, all these niggas. I was the
[2:34:50] Speaker 1: best player in the league. For one year.
[2:34:53] Speaker 3: For one year.
[2:34:54] Speaker 1: I mean, fuck. I mean, shit. You got hurt. Who
[2:34:57] Speaker 1: else can say that? What I'm saying, he got hurt.
[2:34:59] Speaker 1: But who else can say that? You're not... Who else
[2:35:01] Speaker 1: can say that?
[2:35:02] Speaker 6: Name one year that Greenhill has better than Derrick Rose.
[2:35:05] Speaker 2: What I'm saying is you got hurt, man.
[2:35:07] Speaker 1: Name one year that... You're not capitalizing. Name one year
[2:35:10] Speaker 1: that Greenhill has had that's better than Derrick Rose. in
[2:35:14] Speaker 1: that one year. That one year is better than Grant
[2:35:17] Speaker 1: Hill's whole career. Name a big moment Paul George has had.
[2:35:20] Speaker 1: He got hurt. Are you not factoring in a career?
[2:35:25] Speaker 1: You're not factoring in MVP. Yeah, they all got hurt though.
[2:35:28] Speaker 1: They all got hurt. Everybody all got hurt. Four years. No.
[2:35:32] Speaker 1: Derrick Rose just retired. Naismith Hall of Fame is.
[2:35:36] Speaker 2: Your entire body of basketball work. Your entire body of work.
[2:35:38] Speaker 1: So Grant got two national championships at Duke. All-American defensive player.
[2:35:42] Speaker 1: So Tracy McGrady don't got the full body of work.
[2:35:45] Speaker 1: He has more. No, he has less. He has less.
[2:35:48] Speaker 1: So technically, Derrick Rose got in what? Three fights as
[2:35:50] Speaker 1: a professional. He won, won a championship, got the belt.
[2:35:54] Speaker 1: And then what happened? What happened after? He was Andre Ward.
[2:35:59] Speaker 1: He just.
[2:35:59] Speaker 4: He just went around.
[2:36:01] Speaker 1: He just fought guys. They knew he was good. They
[2:36:04] Speaker 1: knew he was the best, but he just ain't the
[2:36:05] Speaker 1: same Andre Ward like we know him to be.
[2:36:08] Speaker 4: Andre Ward was that guy, but he just didn't.

[2:36:58] Speaker 1: the whole school year, he was A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A.
[2:37:03] Speaker 1: First of all, bro, rookie year? Rookie year? Come on, man,
[2:37:06] Speaker 1: don't do that. He's rookie of the year? Come on, man,
[2:37:08] Speaker 1: don't do that. Your emotions is cool. There is a list.
[2:37:13] Speaker 1: That list is a lie. That list is bullshit. You
[2:37:15] Speaker 1: can't name another MVP that hasn't been in your Hall
[2:37:18] Speaker 1: of Fame. That's the problem.
[2:37:20] Speaker 3: It's not.
[2:37:30] Speaker 1: Emotions.
[2:37:31] Speaker 6: I'm looking at the probability.
[2:37:34] Speaker 1: The probability is right now The end of his career,
[2:37:39] Speaker 1: he is at... MVP, rookie of the year. That's all fact?
[2:37:43] Speaker 1: You don't think that's fact?
[2:37:45] Speaker 4: That's Hall of Fame right there.
[2:37:46] Speaker 1: Even if he didn't get three MVPs. Let me ask
[2:37:48] Speaker 1: you something. Even if he didn't get three All-Stars. What
[2:37:51] Speaker 1: does Gil got in his hand right now?
[2:37:52] Speaker 2: A phone? Yes, because I'm not using my emotions.
[2:37:56] Speaker 6: You guys were using your emotions.
[2:37:59] Speaker 4: You are using your emotions.
[2:38:01] Speaker 6: I'm talking about my feelings because I was on the
[2:38:04] Speaker 6: same court.
[2:38:05] Speaker 1: That percentage is not a fact, Gil. They don't use
[2:38:07] Speaker 1: that for metrics. They don't use that as a metric
[2:38:09] Speaker 1: to choose for the Hall of Fame. That's just a
[2:38:11] Speaker 1: website that you're using that gives you a percentage of
[2:38:14] Speaker 1: who would make it. They don't use that. Your percentage
[2:38:18] Speaker 1: of your.
[2:38:18] Speaker 6: Hall of Fame career.
[2:38:19] Speaker 3: What's the name of that site so we can all
[2:38:21] Speaker 3: look it up?
[2:38:21] Speaker 1: Basketball references. Basketball references is telling you what percentage of
[2:38:29] Speaker 1: what player has to make the NBA Hall of Fame.
[2:38:33] Speaker 1: I'm saying shit. I'm saying what this is saying. No,
[2:38:35] Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. I'm saying he said it.
[2:38:38] Speaker 6: I'm using my emotions.
[2:38:39] Speaker 1: Hey, Nick, he said it's fact.
[2:38:41] Speaker 6: I was on the court with that motherfucker.
[2:38:43] Speaker 1: He said this probability is fact. I'm saying what it's saying.
[2:38:47] Speaker 1: I'm using my emotions. It's what it's saying. What about
[2:38:50] Speaker 1: Bob Cooper? This has nothing to do with me. It's
[2:38:52] Speaker 1: what it's saying. Probability.
[2:38:55] Speaker 3: Three all-stars.
[2:38:57] Speaker 5: Whatever they calculated, motherfucker is going to say the same thing.
[2:39:00] Speaker 1: What's the probability? What was the probability of him actually
[2:39:03] Speaker 1: winning MVP? When he won it. What was the probability?
[2:39:07] Speaker 1: I don't know.
[2:39:08] Speaker 3: Probably 1%.
[2:39:09] Speaker 1: When he won, 1%. Yeah. I don't know. So now
[2:39:12] Speaker 1: if he got 10% probability to make it to the
[2:39:14] Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. The next year he won MVP? That's plenty, yeah. No, no, no.
[2:39:17] Speaker 1: The third year after that. But still.
