58 Plays1 month ago
Wop acting REAL different with this YouTube channel! We got a hatless Wop pod! Wop finna be outside so this a shorter pod today. Dj opens the pod with a strange podcast break up. Pat Bev and the barstool gang seem to be at odds. With the dust settling from his domestic situation Pat Bev is ready to return to work, only thing is his team seems to have moved passed him. Looks like there is a IP thief out here in the barstool arena. How does Pat pivot from this? How do yall rate his PR response? How do yall feel about Rone not being able to deliver this message? Another topic that Dj finds near and dear to his heart has also come to play in the media this week. Kmart has a moment on the Gil Arenas pod about a producer that disrespected. Justice for all people with speech impediments? Dj thinks this might be clout chasing and Wop feels otherwise. We wrap up the pod talking about some quick updates for the NBA.

00:04:27
Wop
facts.
00:04:28
TWIYpod
we don't We don't know much about podcast breakups. If somebody went through something personal, the show went on, but they were always eligible to come back if they chose.
Corporate Politics at Barstool Sports
00:04:42
Wop
ah
00:04:43
TWIYpod
Unfortunately, Barstool Sports, they don't run that type of an organization. So we all know what Pat Bev went through about six months ago.
00:04:54
TWIYpod
I'm just going play some clips of his most recent piece of content. Very well produced, by the way. Very well produced.
00:05:05
TWIYpod
a word from wrong.
00:05:09
TWIYpod
Right? Not one word. Not, is you okay? Is family okay? Is mom okay? Is sister okay? Not a word.
00:05:20
TWIYpod
Right? And I'm, you know, um' I'm an emotional type of dude, so y'all let me know if I'm in my feelings or not. So, Christmas come, and I'm, you know, I know I'm going to get a you know, Merry Christmas from him. And you feel me I wait, I wait, I wait, and I don't get it. And I hear him like, yo, know Merry Christmas. Like, hope the family's well. You know, he hear me back like, oh, man, was was caught up with the family. Yeah, hope all is well. Mind you, I haven't talked to Ron on the phone since this situation has happened. Not
Loyalty and Betrayal in Podcasting
00:05:54
TWIYpod
one time. You're talking about this, look you know, like,
00:05:58
TWIYpod
Man, Ron go deep. Like, you feel me? Like, I was there when this kid got baptized, you know? So, like, excuse me if I feel some type of way, right? Not from Barstool, just from the homie. This was the Pat Bev and Ron. We got 278,000 subscribers together. We got a YouTube plaque together. You feel me? So, like, this is my dog.
00:06:21
TWIYpod
Like, I thought, like, you feel me? This is my dog. So...
00:06:27
TWIYpod
I'm not going front. This shit is hurt already. Because the situation with Pat Bev happened in the summertime. It was July, August. You mean to tell me you get into some personal shit.
00:06:42
TWIYpod
You're not working. It's better for you to walk away from the job, not to show up every day while you got that kind of shit on your jacket. I get it.
00:06:52
TWIYpod
But you've seen Rome and fucking Pat's content. They looked decently close. It didn't look like they was just pod brothers.
00:07:01
Wop
No, thanks.
00:07:01
TWIYpod
It looked like they was decently close outside of real life.
00:07:01
Wop
Ooh, true.
00:07:05
TWIYpod
So that shit hurts that you got to hit a nigga up on Christmas and it's very dry. nigga ain't checking on you while you're going through that personal situation. That lets you know that niggas is really coworkers and not friends.
00:07:21
TWIYpod
but But I progress. I hit the group like, yo, you know, I'm back, boys. I'm ready to work. You feel me? Like, man, stuff has passed, man.
00:07:36
TWIYpod
Yeah, I've been holding down. I'm ready to get back to work. Ron, reach out to me, man. um I know you're glad this is over, this, this, this. I'm like, all right. It's so okay. When do we start?
00:07:47
TWIYpod
And then they go quiet. And I'm like, They're like, have you talked to anybody? I'm like, talk to anybody? like I talk to Dave. Dave say, have I talked to y'all? I talked to y'all. Y'all tell me, have I talked to somebody else? So me and Dave get on the phone. ah day And Dave, shout out to Dave too, man. Solid dude. Solid dude since day one. like from From him finding me into where I am right now, media-wise, he's been a phenomenon, right?
00:08:12
TWIYpod
I want you to know that that's politics.
00:08:16
TWIYpod
That's corporate politics to, to still shout out Dave and say, Dave is a solid dude.
00:08:23
TWIYpod
If I talk to you because you the boss and you tell me to talk to my team and I talk to my team and my team tells me to talk to you, bro, you could have saved me a trip.
00:08:38
TWIYpod
If you the boss for real and you got my best intentions at heart, you can save me a trip and be like, yo, I'm glad you back. The team don't want you back. I'm glad you back. The team is going in a different direction.
00:08:52
TWIYpod
that Hey, the team is cooking right now. Let's find something else for you to be a part of. Like any other message besides redirecting me to the team, who's then too pussy to give me the bad news and they're going to redirect me back to you.
NBA Stories and Sports Podcast Dynamics
00:09:11
TWIYpod
I don't have good feelings for Dave after this. Not even if I'm doing a PR spin, because that's what that was. That was a PR spin.
00:09:20
Wop
Of course.
00:09:23
Wop
I mean,
00:09:26
Wop
no matter what, part of this is Pat's fault.
00:09:31
Wop
Like, like, whether he want to accept it or not, you can feel like you may have been done wrong for sure. Or you can feel like the love was never real. For sure.
00:09:43
Wop
But we do live in this industry where potentially certain things can force a hand.
00:09:56
Wop
a Certain incidents can force a company's hand, right? like especially i just I just think in this particular situation though, it is his podcast. Like it was his podcast. It was based off of his NBA stories and experiences and his journey and in his you know connections throughout the league with certain players and things of that nature. So it is kind of tough to see how, where this show is going to go. Like just in in in general,
00:10:30
Wop
for for for content, right? Like, where you where are you getting these players and these connections from? Because I don't know where's Rome where he falls in line as far as connections.
00:10:50
Wop
So, I just think what...
00:10:51
TWIYpod
rome Rome takes a hit. Rome takes a hit off of this. Anybody that's watching this play out, even if they talk to Rome directly and they get more context, less PR, you talk to Rome without a camera on and you get the nitty gritty.
00:11:10
TWIYpod
Rome still takes a hit for this because who's going to want to stand next to Rome if you've seen how he did Pat?
00:11:21
TWIYpod
it makes it hard for people to stand next to you because you've shown, I'm not going to say bad character, but I'm going to say you've shown bad business and personality traits.
00:11:27
Wop
No loyalty. For sure.
00:11:37
TWIYpod
So nobody's going to want to stand next to him. Not on no long-term shit on, on a quick come up on a quick episode, piecemeal, some shit. Yeah, we can work together, but long-term not really.
00:11:52
TWIYpod
And I need that paperwork to look like something. And I need that paperwork to look like something. Because you're not fitting to kick me out of something that
Speech Impediments and Overcoming Challenges
00:12:00
TWIYpod
I created with you. And I'm not eating off of it still. Like, hey, if I don't have to show up, but I'm still eating off of y'all hard work.
00:12:09
TWIYpod
I'm not even sitting down doing this interview in a nice shirt. I'm not even doing that. um'm I'm going to the bank.
00:12:15
Wop
This is the easy e situation, right? Like, to a degree. Like, y'all took Dre, but I'm still eating off that.
00:12:25
TWIYpod
You still see that roofless stamp.
00:12:27
Wop
Yeah.
00:12:28
TWIYpod
You still see that roofless stamp.
00:12:31
Wop
It is what it is. So it's like, i just did... I think Pat just... There's more of him getting his side of things and how shit ultimately went down. And, you know, we can never...
00:12:42
Wop
again, downplay like his importance to that podcast. But I just think that situation with the sister du that, that, you know, it was ugly. it It was not the prettiest situation.
00:12:56
Wop
is unfortunate because i actually liked that podcast. I don't always like some of Pat Bev's things he do. Like, you know what I'm saying? Granted he from the city or whatever, but like it still don't take all that that he be doing sometimes. I don't, I never liked Chris Paul's situation.
00:13:15
Wop
ah I kind of fucked with the little Rashad McKent's back and forth, little altercation they had going on because I think that's more of a player you need to be talking to. Like, like, cause y'all could have similar journeys to some degree. Like Rashad McKent's obviously was more coveted coming out heights. I mean, ah out of college than a guy like Pat Biv, but,
00:13:38
Wop
As far as their journeys in the league, they both was you know playing overseas and things of that nature. like they got To me, that's a player you can come at. I didn't like the fact that he was coming at Chris Paul. like I thought that was crazy.
00:13:51
TWIYpod
I mean, if we go on career for career, then yeah, Rashad is probably the the better the better person for for them to have a level conversation. But if we're just talking about what I did on the court and I have a personal problem with you because Pat Bev was a pest.
00:14:11
TWIYpod
He was a pest on the court and and that shit carried over into whatever happens when you put a microphone in front of him. He would talk buku shit. He had personal issues with CP3, had personal issues with Russell Westbrook. Like, he's got issues with some of the best niggas at
Kenyon Martin Confronts Disrespect in Podcasting
00:14:30
TWIYpod
the point guard position to ever play the game.
00:14:33
Wop
um I don't think.
00:14:33
TWIYpod
Because he's a pest, and that was his... He's a poor man's... Well, can't even say a poor man's Gary Payton. He's a fucking poor man's Rajah Bell.
00:14:42
Wop
No.
00:14:43
TWIYpod
With a mouth on him. Because Rajah Bell, you never heard Rajah Bell talk. I don't even know if they got a vocal cord.
00:14:48
Wop
That's a little disrespectful. I think Pat a little bit better than Raja. Far as like. as as as it pertains to guarding his position. I think Rajah was a good defender and and could guard shooting guards, but I think Pat was better at guarding point guards than Rajah was at guarding shooting guards, if that makes sense.
00:15:09
Wop
But...
00:15:10
TWIYpod
know. I mean, Pat, uh, Rajah has some of the hardest shooting guards to cover and that nigga was on a fucking, yeah, that nigga was on the G league 12 day contract in the playoffs.
00:15:16
Wop
a good guard ever.
00:15:22
TWIYpod
Like that nigga was fighting for his life. You hear me?
00:15:26
Wop
Man,
00:15:26
TWIYpod
That Rajah, Rajah Bell was fighting for his life on a 10 day contract with the Sixers fighting for his life.
00:15:33
Wop
stop it. He was, he, that
00:15:35
TWIYpod
10 days. Yo, yo make something happen or else we'll never see you again.
00:15:39
Wop
nigga wasn't on those. They weren't even doing 10 day contracts in the league.
00:15:42
TWIYpod
then um I promise you.
00:15:42
Wop
Yeah.
00:15:44
TWIYpod
you go Look, I stumped that in the head, y'all. I stumped him. I stumped him. I talked to Dave and Dave hit me like, yeah, the guys wanted me to reach out and tell you that ah you know they won't they want to keep going how the pot is now.
00:16:03
TWIYpod
You know, you've been gone for three months and they want to you know just keep you know keep that going right now. And I'm like,
00:16:12
Wop
Thank you.
00:16:13
TWIYpod
what guys? Like, who what guys are you talking about? Like, he's like, the guys from the pod. And I'm like, what are these guys you speak of? These are pussy.
00:16:25
TWIYpod
That's a bitch move, gang. If you want to break up with me, if you don't want to pod with me, don't send the white ball to do your dirty work.
00:16:36
TWIYpod
Don't send your white daddy to tell me that you don't want to pod with me. Don't give me silent treatment. Don't avoid me. If you don't want to work with me, bro, tell me you don't want to work with me. Be a fucking man.
00:16:51
TWIYpod
Drop your nuts and say you don't want work with me. yo you you a And listen, out of all things to to act like a nigga is nuclear, a domestic... Not even with your queen domestic. We just talking about a family domestic.
00:17:08
TWIYpod
It wasn't no sexual charge. It wasn't a 150 mile an hour DUI where you killed the white lady and her puppy.
00:17:16
Wop
But gang, if a motherfucker think you'll choke your sister, they think you'll choke anybody, nigga.
00:17:21
TWIYpod

00:26:56
TWIYpod
And niggas was just like, damn, bro, you just putting diseases on everybody. First of all, speech impediment is not a disease. But secondly, this nigga had a terrible stutter and nobody knew it.
00:27:08

Passion and Dedication in Podcasting

TWIYpod
stuttering fit and somebody just finished my sentence. And guess what? I'm still finna finish it, too.
00:28:25
TWIYpod
So now we both said it. now Now you heard it twice.
00:28:31
Wop
It's like that nigga on Harlem lights. ah said, I was getting ready to fuck you up.
00:28:41
TWIYpod
laughter
00:28:44
Wop
yeah Nigga, nigga, like, I know a couple people had little speech joints going on back the day, man. That type shit.
00:28:53
TWIYpod
Spoiler alert, I still ain't seen that.
00:28:54
Wop
Safe to say.
00:28:55
TWIYpod
Spoiler alert, I still ain't seen that. ah But on Gil's arenas, ah Kenya Martin calls an audible, calls a timeout in the middle of the broadcast.
00:29:08
TWIYpod
He calls one of the producers over, and he kind of slow walks the dog. Now, he dragged it a little bit. He dragged a little bit, but there is a lot. For somebody who's gotten over this shit, I totally understand where you coming from, where it's somebody that you friends with that you find out was clowning you behind your back.
00:29:31
TWIYpod
But here's here's Kenyon. I don't need the mask.
00:29:41
TWIYpod
Kill a nigga. So I need you to do some explaining to me, brother. No, I don't need a mic.
00:29:51
TWIYpod
This video to me.
00:29:55
TWIYpod
Yeah, that's the video we talked about. No, we didn't talk about shit. Yeah, we did speak about this. No, you tried to apologize.
00:30:01
Wop
Thank you.
00:30:03
TWIYpod
So there's it in here. Let me replay for...
00:30:11
TWIYpod
so there's it in here let me replay for
00:30:26
TWIYpod
So when I brought you into my home, is how you felt? No, I apologize. ah no but So this is how you felt when I brought you into my home and I you wife and kids? No, that's not how I felt. So what did you go out your way when someone is showing me love in the moment?
00:30:41
TWIYpod
You go out your way to disrespect me. <unk> think I think I'm being disrespectful. Disrespectful. When that's something that I've stated time and time again on this couch, sensitive subject, sensitive subject for me.
00:31:00
TWIYpod
Right. I drew a line in the sand a long time ago with this. There is no apology ever that as an adult that I would accept for this. I came in here one day over at Gil's house and you walked up to me and tried to apologize out the blue.
00:31:17
TWIYpod
I blew you off because I didn't know what you were talking about.
00:31:20
Wop
Thank
00:31:21
TWIYpod
That's the situation. Yes or no? Yes. So...
00:31:29
TWIYpod
I swear all black people live the same life.
00:31:37
TWIYpod
and Just listening to that shit, I feel like grand granddaddy is about to whoop your ass for doing something that you did wrong. So this is how you felt about me when I brought you around my wife and kids?
00:31:52
TWIYpod
Like everything, every bit of normal friendship feels like more disrespect when you break that boundary of some uncrossable shit. Like the nigga didn't kiss your wife in the mouth with the lights on.
00:32:06
TWIYpod
He didn't fucking send your daughter a DM. He made fun of your stutter. But if that's your fucking boundary, if that's your line, if that's your, like he said, line in the sand, I'm assuming it ain't no coming back from that.
00:32:24
TWIYpod
But to carry this young man like that, in the middle of a pod, you holding them hostage. Like if we, if the pod, if the camera wasn't on ah and you talk to me like this, i'd swear we were about to get physical.
00:32:40
Wop
Why?
00:32:43
TWIYpod
Because it sounds like we about to get physical.
00:32:46
Wop
I mean, no,
00:32:47
TWIYpod
It sounds very threatening. It's a very threatening tone.
00:32:50
Wop
the thing about exposing a nigga on the internet, no game, like to me to me, I ain't mad if if it's if it's facts. Like if it's real facts and I think I ain't trying to create no narrative. Cause like two things about the internet, like you can get your ass exposed.
00:33:08
Wop
For some real shit. And you can also get exposed to some shit that's some bullshit. Like some shit that ain't even true. Can expose you. And how you getting looked at in a different light.
00:33:19
Wop
But if you standing on some gangster shit. I ain't be mad at that. Like especially if you can back it up. Like this is. I can i can receipt your ass. Boom. Boom. Boom. Like if you can do that.
00:33:31
Wop
Like he said to the nigga. That you feel that way. When you came into my crib. And I introduced my wife and kids. Did you feel that way then? Like when nigga said something
00:33:41
TWIYpod
When I was giving, when I handed you the gravy boat on Thanksgiving, did you feel like I was the dinner man when I was handing you the gravy?
00:33:45
Wop
like that? yeah.
00:33:50
Wop
My life. Like, cause if you felt that way, why did you ever come in my crib? Now it's like, I'm a goofy to you or something. If you felt like, damn, I'm um' a s slide on bro whole time, he a goofy. Now I'm doing, i like like, it's clear, like,
00:34:06
Wop
Because we all know Kenya Marty couldn't scrape that man right then and there. Scraped him. Like clean off the map, scraped him. He wanted him. He not no pussy ass nigga. We know that.
00:34:18
TWIYpod
Yeah, that nigga didn't look athletic. That producer nigga didn't look athletic.
00:34:21
Wop
He was shook. You could tell.
00:34:22
TWIYpod
He didn't look like he ever caught an alley-oop from Jason Kidd.
00:34:26
Wop
You could tell when a nigga shook for sure. Like he knew what it was. But at the same time, if you know you bogus in your heart of hearts, like he knew he was bogus. He knew he was bogus. Because a nigga can't say that. like like that's If I invite you into my crib and then you I catch you on audio the whole time, that nigga goofy. woop the ba So damn, that's how you felt the whole time?
00:34:51
Wop
At my crib with my people? I'm a goofy? Man, I'll do it to you right now. But it it was deeper than that. To me, I think this the area we live in because...
00:35:04
Wop
Kenya, like, i'm I'm one of these personalities that's on the internet. Like, I'm just showing niggas who I always been. I call niggas out for bullshit. and and and And that's all I took from it. Like, he called that nigga out right in front of the cameras. Nigga, this nigga's a goofy.
00:35:21
Wop
I gotta work with him, though, still. But he a goofy. I could have fold his ass right now.
00:35:28
TWIYpod
And that's what I don't like. I don't like because i I'm a results based guy.
00:35:31
Wop
You're folding.
00:35:35
TWIYpod
I'm a resolution based guy. If I'm going talk to you like that in front of the camera, that's get back for the video that you made about me. And that's peace.
00:35:47
TWIYpod
we We even there. But I can't put money in your pocket no more.
00:35:55
Wop
I mean, he ain't put...
00:35:55
TWIYpod
I can't continue to put money in your pocket no more.
00:35:59
Wop
More than likely, he probably gonna want to leave anyway. that that It's real now. This shit ain't no game. He...
00:36:06
TWIYpod
Yeah, you're probably going to be shamed into leaving, but I don't want him to leave because of shame. I want him to leave because I terminated him.
00:36:13
Wop
Kingy can't terminate. That's the thing.
00:36:15
TWIYpod
I know. That's the that's my point. You did all of that for a nigga that you're going to have to see three days a week.
00:36:22
Wop
He did all that just to prove a point that this nigga a He a goofy.
00:36:27
TWIYpod
He hold him out. He told him, don't ever talk to me again, blah, blah. blah He said all that cool shit and it sounds great. But tomorrow morning when he gets up and goes to work, they're both going to be working in the same place.
00:36:41
Wop
it But the thing about it, it ain't like he he he still, we know, it ain't like we can't say he ain't tried everybody. Kenny you Martin ain't afraid of no nigga. Like, we know that. Like, it ain't like he afraid of no nigga. He did that the at the end of the day, just the that to me, show who he is to the world, as he always been, type deal, on a different level.
00:37:04
Wop
But he's showing, this is the whole this is what I be talking about with hoe-ass niggas. That's all he did. This is a hoe-ass niggas. That's what I took from it. The whole time he talked to dude, you a whole ass nigga. It's niggas like you that exist in the world every day that say shit about niggas that don't. But the whole time you don't really fuck with niggas.
00:37:26
Wop
If you don't your ass, you don't get no cool points because can you mind to beat the nigga ass?
00:37:26
TWIYpod
You
00:37:31
Wop
there's to be some niggas like, yeah, he whooped his ass. wo But everybody see this little scrawny ass nigga in the back. It don't do nothing. Can you mind to six, eight, beat the shit out that little ass man? Ain't nobody going to move that nigga.
00:37:41
TWIYpod
don't get points for that. Yeah, you don't get points for that.
00:37:42
Wop
it don't know
00:37:44
TWIYpod
But I also think that it takes whatever sting, whatever impact that these words did go away when you got to turn around and work with the nigga two days later.
00:37:55
Wop
it don't know to who
00:37:56
TWIYpod
um did
00:38:00
TWIYpod
Did I or did I not? know it word No, you did. But did I put money in your pocket? What did you didn't do for a for pay? Right? Yes. Right. Did you not come into my home? No, did you not come into my home?
00:38:13
TWIYpod
Multiple times when you didn't know no one was out here. Right. You didn't have no one to go for Thanksgiving. Did I not invite you to my home? Yes. Two years in a row. Yes. And this is the things that you get. after the apology to But that apology is null and void is what you don't understand, dog.
00:38:32
TWIYpod
If I knew about it then, I wouldn't accept your apology like I did't then you did it no didn't I blew you off. I said, yes, whatever, dog, whatever. i don't know what you're talking about. That's the situation.
00:38:45
TWIYpod
So this is what disloyalty and people who don't respect you look like, y'all. People like him. Be careful who you're inviting to your home, who you have around your loved ones and your friends and family.
00:38:59
TWIYpod
This is what you get. People like this that talk about something that's near and dear to my heart. I have a speech impediment that everybody knows how I feel about this.
00:39:12
TWIYpod
Right? angle on front iin hear one startter that whole soliloquy I hear one stutter. one stutter. Kanye Martin got that shit under control. That nigga turned into a transformer when he got beef. Hey, I ain't gonna lie to you.
00:39:27
Wop
Oh for so. so
00:39:28
TWIYpod
But I'm just saying that shit, that shit looks a little clout, Tracy, if this nigga still got a job. I understand you a man at the end of the day. You got your stance about your protectiveness of your speech impediment. I get that. That nigga came into your home. It's the ultimate disrespect. It's equivalent to finding out your homeboy stole from you. When you let him spend the night at your house, he stole from you.
00:39:53
TWIYpod
Cool. it's that It's that equivalent to that. But if that nigga is still on the payroll, all of that's still for nothing.
00:40:05
TWIYpod
You shame that man. You you put smut on that. you You showed the world who that man really is and you still paying
00:40:16
Wop
No, for real.
00:40:17
TWIYpod
him. That means that there's no there's no ah fucking consequences for your actions. If that nigga still got a job with you, it's no consequences for your actions. That means you can disrespect whoever you want and they'll still pay you because they need you.
00:40:35
Wop
No, fix.
00:40:39
TWIYpod
I love, i listen, Kenya Martin, never change. Never change. I've been eating that shit up. And basketball players been responding to that shit like crazy.
00:40:50
TWIYpod
I stand with Kenya Martin because, you know, nobody's copping to stuttering. Nobody at all is copping to stuttering. But nobody brave like me to cop to a speech impediment.
00:41:05
Wop
I'm not, nigga. I'm not competent on speech impediment unless I really had one. Who the fuck just wake up and just want to say I had one of those? Like, that's some weird shit. But it is people that sauce up they lives for whatever reason they do it. Like that's never been me though. Like I ain't never finna sauce it up cause I ain't never been fanned out of shit. Like ain't nothing never just over impressed me like about nobody. Like I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:41:38
Wop
Like never.
00:41:40
TWIYpod
You finna lie?
00:41:42
Wop

TWIYpod
Wow, you told me about the time when Tommy came to Soldier Field and you told Tommy you ran 5.842.

All these players, to me, work hard. We know that every player work hard, right? like But it's just some that that you hear that had this crazy work ethic or like a Brady just always in the film room, always studying, always knowing how to pick you apart, essentially.
00:44:06
TWIYpod
And when he when he took a break from the film room, he went to the kitchen.
00:44:07
Wop
Here
00:44:12
TWIYpod
He got some frozen some frozen fruit out the freezer.
00:44:12
Wop
you go. you.
00:44:15
TWIYpod
He put it in the blender. He made a little smoothie. You know, Tom Brady loves smoothies. And then before he left the kitchen, he kissed his son in the mouth in in front of the camera.
00:44:24
Wop
I don't don't know. don't know.
00:44:26
TWIYpod
you Oh, but you but you stand with him, gang.
00:44:26
Wop
don't know. don't I don't know. don't don't know. don't know. I I don't
00:44:30
TWIYpod
You standing there with him.
00:44:31
Wop
I don't know. don't don't know. don't know. don't know. don't don't I know.
00:44:35
TWIYpod
Ah, ah, mmm, mmm.
00:44:35
Wop
don't don't don't know. I know. I
00:44:38
TWIYpod
You got to draw that line.
00:44:39
Wop
don't know.
00:44:39
TWIYpod
You got to draw that line.
00:44:40
Wop
don't know. I don't don't
00:44:40
TWIYpod
So after they step off the field, it's over.
00:44:41
Wop
know. I don't know. don't know. don't know. I know. don't know. don't know. I don't don't know. know. I know. I don't know. don't don't what don't don't don't know. don't know. don't know. don't
00:44:54
Wop
None. Ain't nobody ever gave me $100,000 plus to do anything. I don't relate to none of these niggas.
00:45:06
TWIYpod
and I felt that.
00:45:07
Wop
I had to earn that. if if what and and him I done made $80,000, $90,000, close to $100,000. I earned every motherfucking penny of it. I didn't just get guaranteed contract to do nothing, nigga.
00:45:24
Wop
ever You, the way people, that's what's wrong with social media. Social media has convinced us that we relate to celebrities or we just like them. You're not. You're nothing like them.
00:45:38
Wop
they They live a totally different life than you. What you're like as far as them is that we're all humans. They feel the same type of things we feel when people die that they love. Of course, they hurt.
00:45:51
Wop
They're normal. the end of the day, they just live a totally different life as far as you what saying? Their lifestyle. They're not the same day-to-day things that you're worried about when they
00:46:01
TWIYpod
No.
00:46:06
TWIYpod
I relate to I relate to Kirk Cousins.
00:46:11
TWIYpod
Because I have often stolen, too. I stole a lot. Kirk has stole a lot. I've stole a lot. Like I like sometimes I like to steal.
00:46:23
Wop
Yeah.
00:46:23
TWIYpod
Kirk Cousins likes to steal. He likes to go to Barnes and Noble on Tuesdays with his queen. And he likes to steal me too.
00:46:30
Wop
Yeah.
00:46:31
TWIYpod
I like stealing from the man.
00:46:33
Wop
Yeah. You, you still in a different way though. He steals, he steals, he steals.
00:46:39
TWIYpod
Contractually.
00:46:40
Wop
Yeah. Contractually market lead, like in a different way, like it again, he has some talent. That's what, that's what people need to realize with celebrities in general, like, yes.
00:46:52
Wop
They have talent. You don't have that talent. And maybe if you did have that talent, like and I'm not saying there's some people that ultimately didn't make it. like it's we We all know them the stories of the Lenny Cooks of the world that probably should have made it to the league, but the hood, he cared more about being in the hood, being a hood star, and things in these natures. So like we we get it.
00:47:19
Wop
But as it pertains to... like just athletes and people that have made it to the league bro you do not relate to these people bro you don't you you you you you can't if it's one thing to say ask me name a player you think your style of play is similar to like on the basketball court right like when you say shit like that like when you're being technical about it like yeah i might fake think i play like chris paul right but gang
00:47:51
Wop
if you fake play like Chris Paul, why you didn't fake make it to the league, bitch? you think what the fuck?
00:47:56
TWIYpod
Nah, nah.
00:47:57
Wop
Why
00:47:58
TWIYpod
You shot too high, too. You know, I thought you was going to be humble and say, like, DJ Augustine. You know what I'm saying?
00:48:05
Wop
would say that, though? You know, niggas is not finna say they play like a role player.
00:48:14
Wop
Niggas never think they play like role players, gang.
00:48:14
TWIYpod
You know what I'm saying?
00:48:18
Wop
Like, ever. Like, don't get me wrong, though. Like, that that should be the tree you aiming at. Like, because even those guys, because feel like any nigga that made it to the league, you shouldn't feel like, you know I'm saying, you on their level, you can tell their story.
00:48:34
Wop
It's a lot of hard work they go into making it to the league, bro.
00:48:37
TWIYpod
i didn't I didn't feel like that, which is funny. I didn't feel like that until niggas started getting at Kwame Brown and calling him a bust. And then somebody sat down and like broke down what his averages was. And like yo know he was the number one pick. You know how difficult it is to be a number one pick?
00:48:56
TWIYpod
You know how many times niggas have gotten it wrong with a number one pick? Like five times. One of them Anthony Bennett. Right? So it's like niggas never get it wrong. It's just the wrong structure. It's the wrong...
00:49:06
Wop
ol if Michael Thompson, nigga. I can name a lot of number one picks that didn't pan out, nigga. Kwame Brown was, again, in a fucking place.
00:49:15
TWIYpod
Better than better than them.
00:49:18
Wop
I wouldn't even necessarily... Joe Smith still had ah ah a solid career, like, not like a solid, solid career. That's what I mean.
00:49:24
TWIYpod
Nigga played it for like 25 years.
00:49:26
Wop
Like, granted, he didn't live up to the number one pick expectations where he was a superstar or nothing like that. He wasn't even an all-star. But... He was still a role player in the NBA. And a lot of players can't even do that, bro. Like it's because a lot of people don't find a niche in the league. A lot of people be stuck on who they was.
00:49:49
Wop
Right. Like, like it's hard when you at one point in your life was the best Hooper in the in the in a 50, 60 mile radius. Known as dead.
00:50:03
Wop
It's hard, right?
00:50:06
TWIYpod
And then then then go play competition. But I think today, i think today it looks a little different because with AAU and travel ball, you get to play against these other guys more frequently.
00:50:09
Wop
For sure.
00:50:19
Wop
for sure
00:50:20
TWIYpod
Back then, back then in the 90s, early 2000s, you might see these niggas in college. You face off. Damn, this nigga is really good. You know, Ray Allen versus Iverson in college. Shit was heat.
00:50:32
TWIYpod
But. Today, now you got niggas going playing at Oak Hill and you get to play Oak Hill. Oak Hill got five killers over there.
00:50:42
Wop
No fact.
00:50:42
TWIYpod
And you get to do that shit every season, whatever, whatever. So I think it's a little bit different now, but still, ah listen, number one talent is number one talent. Kwame Brown's not not a terrible basketball player, not the best either, but he did catch a bad break in some situations.
00:50:59
TWIYpod
ah But also, young guy, young guy from high school, probably one of the reasons why we can't get niggas out of high school no more today.
00:51:09
Wop
part of it I just thought it was always, you know, yeah, it's the money thing, but is it was fool's gold.
00:51:12
TWIYpod
And it's the money thing. Well...
00:51:19
Wop
That's why, like, Kobe has to be part of the Kobe fool people. You seem to get drafted out of high school by year four. He's an all NBA caliber player, all defensive player, looking like one of the best players in the league.
00:51:33
Wop
KG helped part, he was part of that. Another guy drafted straight out of high school, T-Mac. These were the three players that kind of made it seem like, man, well, they looking pretty decent, goddammit. So Kwame Brown was a product of that.
00:51:48
Wop
and And once that happened, I still think again, It's bigger than just being the number one draft pick. it's It's the fact that he had to come and play his rookie season with the fucking goat, nigga.
00:52:03
Wop
Like, who the fuck wants that? Like, for real. I'm the number one draft pick, but there's nearly most people that are the number one draft pick. This team is projected to be yours. Damn that day one.
00:52:18
Wop
Day one.
00:52:21
Wop
Most of the time.
00:52:21
TWIYpod
And you're going to go play with cheese eyes at the end. Bad, bad, bad basketball vision, cheese eyes. Bad, bad executive, cheese eyes.
00:52:33
Wop
No bad executive. He, he really wasn't.
00:52:35
TWIYpod
He is a bad executive. He drafted Sean May.
00:52:37
Wop
he
00:52:40
Wop
Gang, Sean.
00:52:40
TWIYpod
He drafted morrison
00:52:43
Wop
Sean. I it was like that. Adam Morris was like that. These niggas was like that. You can't say they wasn't bro.
00:52:50
Wop
Like, like, um um um I'm going to say he not... and I don't think no nigga as good as Jordan was in basketball really got a clear vision of what real talent is.
00:53:03
Wop
All they think is that if you like that, prove it, bitch. That's how Jordan think. Nigga, Sean May was like that. You cannot say he was not like that, gang. He was like that.
00:53:14
TWIYpod
6'4 power forward, bro.
00:53:16
Wop
Gang.
00:53:17
TWIYpod
He wasn't.
00:53:18
Wop
Gang.
00:53:18
TWIYpod
It wasn't going to translate into that game, into that style of basketball.
00:53:20
Wop
Gang.
00:53:23
TWIYpod
wasn't going to translate. He got drafted too high because of who knows what. Him.
00:53:31
Wop
Now you won't... That's why you not hearing what I'm saying. You won't... Like, am I saying Jordan should be a GM? No. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that Jordan...
00:53:39
TWIYpod
As long as you're saying that.
00:53:40
Wop
I'm saying Jordan made some mistakes because he just viewed a game in a totally different way than other niggas view the game. It's like, it's either you Yang or you Yang, bitch. It's like, it's like, that's it. It's no other way he view it.
00:53:54
Wop
That's what happens. That's the same thing with a Kobe Bryant. That's why they, they're, they're viewed as terrible teammates because they looking at you like, why you not like me? Why are you talking?
00:54:05
TWIYpod
why can't you Why can't you just do this this way at a high level like I do
00:54:09
Wop
Like, like, Like, why are you just can't do it? Like, I'm just saying, like, I work hard. I don't think you work as hard as me. That's what I first think you fuck up at. That's how they look at niggas.
00:54:19
Wop
Is you really in the gym? Is you really doing that? Jordan don't see the game in the X and O situation. He see it as if they say you this nigga, right? Like, just prove it.
00:54:32
Wop
Like, that simple as that. Like, just prove Like, if you him, prove it. Is it wrong and flawed? For sure. That's why them niggas is not good coaches, good GMs.
00:54:44
Wop
Niggas that's that good at at us at a sport should not be a GM. They don't understand you. They don't relate to you.
00:55:01
TWIYpod
I don't know what's going to happen. um Who we got? We got two teams coming back. Well, we got one team coming back. Sonics is coming back. Seattle's in the loop for an expansion. Vegas in the loop for an expansion team.
00:55:14
TWIYpod
We haven't had an expansion team in a minute, and I don't think today's fans are going to like the expansion rules.
00:55:25
TWIYpod
We had to witness it. We saw the expansion rules when they made the Miami Heat, when they made the Orlando Magic, the Vancouver Grizzlies, the Toronto Raptors. Like, we've seen this expansion shit.
00:55:41
TWIYpod
It's not pretty, bro. It's not pretty. It's not kind to the league. Of course, the best players are going to be protected, but these teams is going to look like some shit for a couple years, and they're going to get more balls in the draft bubble than everybody else because they're expansion teams.
00:55:59
Wop
No, for sure.
00:56:02
TWIYpod
It'll be good to see basketball back in Seattle. I don't know about Vegas, bro. Listen, Adam Silver, you're never beating the allegations, gang. Putting a team in Vegas is probably the worst thing you could do with the current allegations that niggas is just out here bebopping and scotting on FanDuel intentionally.
00:56:24
TWIYpod
Putting a team in Vegas is the worst thing to combat that.
00:56:27
Wop
I agree. I agree. But at the same time, where else is he going to put a team game? Where it like, like on a business side of it, like, like where else is he going to put a team bro?
00:56:43
Wop
Vegas is the only other place that makes sense, bro.
00:56:46
TWIYpod
No, and no other place makes more sense.
00:56:46
Wop
and Like, why would I put a fucking team and think, I mean, uh, like, uh, you know, uh,
00:56:55
TWIYpod
You can't put no more teams in California. You can't put no more teams in New York.
00:56:57
Wop
Exactly.
00:57:00
TWIYpod
You can't put no more teams in Canada.
00:57:00
Wop
Like...
00:57:02
TWIYpod
Please, take take the one team out of Canada and bring them to the States.
00:57:04
Wop
Hey, man, please take the walk from Toronto, bro. Like, I get it, Drake. I'm sorry, gang. My bad, man. Do the Drake voice.
00:57:12
TWIYpod
Wait, wait. Fuck it up now, Crote.
00:57:17
Wop
Brody, Kearney.
00:57:18
TWIYpod
Crote. What are you doing? hey hu e What are you doing, Crote?
00:57:23
Wop
The ambassador, Kearney. Like...
00:57:26
TWIYpod
Yeah, take you can't put no more teams in Florida. Like, Georgia don't, you know. So Vegas is the only other spot. Plus, they got the Raiders. They got the fucking um the Aces.
00:57:38
TWIYpod
So it it is going to be a very much sports town in Vegas.
00:57:39
Wop
Vegas
00:57:46
TWIYpod
But I just fucking hate it, man, because Vegas don't. Vegas has won some shit.
00:57:53
Wop
be don't wake up.
00:57:54
TWIYpod
You know, the Aces won. Their little hockey team won some shit. So Vegas is like a winning city as of late. But they're not a sports town. People will go to a sporting event while they're on vacation.
00:58:10
TWIYpod
It's a vacation city, but it's not a sports town.
00:58:15
Wop
No, but that's because they just got a recent history. du At first, the only thing that really was out there was UNLV. Like, they had their little moment, right? the The Larry Johnson, the Greg Anthony, ah you know I'm saying? And in the coach, Tarkanian, is a legend.
00:58:31
Wop
So they had their moment, but
00:58:35
Wop
it's It's just because it's it's never really been no professional sports teams there. So now that it is there, you can't deny Like Vegas, one of them towns, Vegas motherfuckers want to get to Vegas, bro. Like rather. And like you said, it's still all work out.
00:58:53
Wop
Like it's not necessarily the the the people that live there are just flat out fans, but it's such of a tourist city, bro. Like just people always want to Vegas, bro. You just can't lose.
00:59:06
TWIYpod
You're never going to have problems with attendance there. i don't know about Seattle. I don't know about Seattle. Them niggas are beefing about a stadium. That's why the Sonics left. Hopefully they they got the stadium that they wanted because once they get their team, they're going to have to make something shake.
00:59:22
TWIYpod
Sacramento need a new stadium. Who else need a new stadium? It's like 10 niggas that need new stadiums. That's all saying like, yo, we'll move if we don't get a new stadium. Like we're not afraid to move.
00:59:33
Wop
I think Sacramento going to sell them in minute.
00:59:36
TWIYpod
Hey, Sacramento, if they sell? Cool. ah the city The city said that they was willing to put a tax on the people. The people didn't want to pay the tax for the stadium. Then the team started winning, and the people was just like, oh, yeah, we've been fans our whole lives, but y'all don't want to pay tax for the stadium. And I get it.
00:59:56
TWIYpod
As a nigga that does not live in a sports town, I also don't want to be taxed for a fucking stadium that I might not be able to afford to go to on a regular basis. I get it. But you got to do something.
01:00:09
TWIYpod
Minnesota, Memphis, get ready to come to the Eastern st eastern Conference. That'll be the closest either one of you niggas get to the finals.
01:00:20
TWIYpod
Well,
01:00:23
TWIYpod
maybe Memphis. Minnesota was close. Minnesota was close. They'll never get that close again, though.
01:00:32
Wop
Minnesota who?
01:00:35
TWIYpod
Timberwolves, they'll never get that close again.
01:00:37
Wop
Why not? What do we be talking about, bro? Ant is not going, bro. Ant one of them.
01:00:45
TWIYpod
You think he's...
01:00:47
Wop
What? Think what?
01:00:50
TWIYpod
You think the way that team is presently assembled that they have a chance against other folks in the West?
01:00:57
Wop
thing I think, I think this is the thing. Not, I'm not saying they can just flat out beat anybody. No.
01:01:08
Wop
I think definitely the one team they have a problem with, or I would say two teams now. I would say the Spurs present some problems for them. And I would say definitely the Thunder.
01:01:19
Wop
But the thing about it though, bro, like this is basketball, bro. Like, If Ant get in his bag and and really, and I'm not saying he will for sure do it.
01:01:33
Wop
I'm saying it's a scenario where if he's potentially the best player on the court, anything can happen.
01:01:42
Wop
Anything, bro. I'm not saying still happens.
01:01:45
TWIYpod
Anything can happen. And
01:01:46
Wop
No, I'm not saying it. I'm saying I've seen enough from him. I'm not putting this on anybody. Like, I'm not just saying any nigga can just do this. I've seen enough from Anthony Edwards to know that he really liked it.
01:01:58
Wop
And if he ever is in a situation where a nigga likes Shea not playing the best, right? Like, he's just not playing his best. But he is. Yes.
01:02:09
Wop
The Timberwolves win it.
01:02:11
TWIYpod
And that's love on a random Tuesday night in March. That's love. I can trust Anthony Edwards on a random Thursday evening in the regular season on a seven game series.
01:02:16
Wop
little
01:02:25
TWIYpod
I can't trust him to win a seven game series.
01:02:31
Wop
I've seen him beat enough niggas. I've seen him beat a Luka and LeBron team just last year. Smoke the boys.
01:02:38
TWIYpod
Nigga, that's Luka and LeBron.
01:02:39
Wop
Ain't no niggas nothing, niggas. Ain't no niggas nothing.
01:02:41
TWIYpod
That's Luka and LeBron, bro. You not talking Cleveland LeBron. you We not talking headband game. We not talking about him. We talking about end of career LeBron.
01:02:54
TWIYpod
They about to roll that nigga to the fucking retirement home for basketball players.
01:02:59
Wop
so
01:02:59
TWIYpod
And he had chubby pre-Ozempic Luka out there. And you talking about, seen what he did to Luka LeBron.
01:03:08
Wop
Yes.
01:03:08
TWIYpod
That was a fat white man from the YMCA and a nigga that has male pattern baldness. What are we talking about?
01:03:16
Wop
It does not matter, gang. Like, you got the beat who in front of you, gang. And at the end of the day, nobody last year was saying, oh, Luka none finna lose. None of that, bro. Most people, I was on the other end of it because I already, I see what you're saying without you saying it. You're saying it like trying to be funny, man.
01:03:37
Wop
And it's understandable because that's what the people do. They try to, you know, your GOAT, your GOAT, Because you rank him still probably right now. He 25 to you still, right?
01:03:50
TWIYpod
All time? Like his whole career or this year?
01:03:51
Wop
No. Right now in the game, right? Like you still think he's a top 25 player, right?
01:03:55
TWIYpod
This year?
01:03:56
Wop
Yes.
01:03:57
TWIYpod
No. No. No, he stopped he's top 20 this year. Yeah. But it's at the low end.
01:04:00
Wop
Okay. It does.
01:04:02
TWIYpod
It's at the low end. Bron's down.
01:04:04
Wop
So last year he was a little bit higher though still, wouldn't you say? Like he was a little bit better last year, right?
01:04:10
TWIYpod
No. I would say he showed flashes.
01:04:13
Wop
Flashes.
01:04:14
TWIYpod
He showed flashes after that Luka trade when they went on that run and they smashed February. They looked good.
01:04:21
Wop
Okay.
01:04:22
TWIYpod
But I knew that was flash in the pan. I knew that wasn't going to last because they're missing pieces.
01:04:25
Wop
not did Did you not think, did you not think Luca and LeBron was going to beat Anthony and Edwards in the in the first?
01:04:33
TWIYpod
No.
01:04:34
Wop
Why not?
01:04:34
TWIYpod
No.
01:04:34
Wop
it The Lakers were the three seed, the Timberwolves was the six seed. Why not?
01:04:39
TWIYpod
Great. They got great seating. That's excellent. But I knew they wasn't finna win because they're missing too many pieces.
01:04:41
Wop
Okay.

When you gotta look and say, our third guy is AR-15. Austin Reeves is our third guy. That's not scary to nobody. Nobody's scared of dude.
01:04:57
TWIYpod
Nobody's scared of NBA Justin Bieber.
01:05:04
TWIYpod
nobody's Nobody's worried about him. That boy be having more off nights than ever. But it's the on nights that people fell in love with. It's the highlights that people fell in love with from Austin Reeves.
01:05:18
TWIYpod
But he ain't that every night.
01:05:23
Wop
yeah I'm
01:05:24
TWIYpod
It's a disadvantage because Luka playing point can shit on Conley, can shit on whoever you throw at him over there in Minnesota. But Braun ain't Braun no more, and neither one of them niggas can stop Anthony Edwards. I already knew what that shit was going to be like. They don't get rebounds.
01:05:42
TWIYpod
The fucking Timberwolves got that French nigga that started COVID over there just chilling.
01:05:50
Wop
i'm still saying regardless of how you trying to piece it up, the The reality is Anthony Edwards, bro, and the Timberwoods have a chance in the Western Conference. It's not a clear, you know, it's a tough conference, but they have a chance. Anthony Edwards is really like that, bro.
01:06:07
Wop
I promise you he really is. I'm not saying he better than Shea. I'm not saying he better than Jokic. I definitely think I'm the only two, tick u well, in the Spurs. It's really three think three teams I think they could lose to.
01:06:19
Wop
The Spurs, the Nuggets, and the Thunder. But at the same time, Anthony Edwards is really like that. He done proven that he don't get no fuck about none of these niggas and what they mean to people and what their stature is in the league.
01:06:34
Wop
He a competitor and he'll he'll ball out, bro. I respect that. I respect that. And I think that that more than anything is what separates a lot of players from the other players. Like, he really don't get no fuck about y'all, like, on some real shit. an Don't get no fuck about them.
01:06:50
Wop
He don't...
01:06:50
TWIYpod
That's good. not i like i like his I like his attitude.
01:06:52
Wop
Yeah.
01:06:54
TWIYpod
I like his outlook on things.
01:06:55
Wop
I don't
01:06:56
TWIYpod
but they're But they're missing pieces over there. They're missing pieces.
01:07:00
Wop
necessarily missing pieces. I think
01:07:03
TWIYpod
Dante T. Vincenzo is not going to do it for you. Old-ass Conley, if they get him back, I think they got him back, he's not going to do it for you every time.
01:07:13
Wop
they got other players.
01:07:14
TWIYpod
You got Julius Randle, weak ass over there. You got Nas Reed. That's probably the best the best thing they got over there offensively besides Ant and besides the um the other young boy that plays at three.
01:07:21
Wop
Juke is right. right
01:07:27
Wop
You're chatting, man. Julius Randle is not weak. Come on, man.
01:07:31
TWIYpod
Huh?
01:07:31
Wop
Julius Randle is not weak.
01:07:34
TWIYpod
Yeah, he is. don't like him. I don't like him, man.
01:07:36
Wop
Yeah, what?
01:07:36
TWIYpod
don't like those.
01:07:37
Wop
Definitely.
01:07:38
TWIYpod
don't like those those fucking those underprivileged power forwards that think they can do everything and they can't do nothing consistently.
01:07:38
Wop
I told you about that. That's
01:07:45
TWIYpod
don't like those guys.
01:07:46
Wop
Yeah, but he actually been playing very well the last two seasons. He played well in playoffs. Like, they lost to OKC, which is the team that won the title. Like, you got to make it make sense, gang.
01:07:58
TWIYpod
Bullied him.
01:07:58
Wop
It don't matter.
01:07:58
TWIYpod
They bullied him. They bullied him.
01:08:00
Wop
It don't matter.
01:08:01
TWIYpod
The Thunder bullied him.
01:08:02
Wop
It don't matter. don't matter.
01:08:04
TWIYpod
Who was it that bullied them to? Was it I Heart?
01:08:07
Wop
It don't matter.
01:08:07
TWIYpod
Was it Hartenstein?
01:08:09
Wop
It don't matter.
01:08:09
TWIYpod
little bit of Holmgren got on them too.
01:08:11
Wop
It don't matter.
01:08:12
TWIYpod
Like they they they hold him.
01:08:14
Wop
it don't It don't matter. It was more so to me, still, Anthony Edwards not playing his, like, everything starts with your best player, bro. If he's not playing up to his standards, you cannot look at the second option and be like, man, I need you to really, he's not a superstar game. Julius Randle is not a superstar.
01:08:32
TWIYpod
So that's who you got in the Western Conference Finals, OKC versus Minnesota.
01:08:37
Wop
I really got the Thunder versus the Spurs type shit, but.
01:08:42
TWIYpod
this That's different. OK.
01:08:44
Wop
I think Wimby is poised to get the state time.
01:08:50
TWIYpod
i'm putting I'm not putting no money on them to get that far. I know they're getting out the first round. I'll get them out the first round. but I ain't putting it that far to get to the east the Western finals. I got i got the i had the Nuggets versus the the Thunder again in the in the Western finals. that's who i That's who I called earlier in the beginning of the season. I got them again.
01:09:12
TWIYpod
i hate the Nuggets so bad, bro. I hate the Nuggets, but the way that they're assembled and the way that OKC is assembled, and if if nobody gets hurt on both sides, they're going to have to meet.
01:09:26
TWIYpod
At the finals. Or whenever they meet, it's just going to be must-see TV.
01:09:34
TWIYpod
And in the East, who cares? Because Harden left the Clippers, so he took the Clippers out the conversation. Nobody even worried about the Clippers no more. These niggas went on a great run. Nobody worried about them niggas no more.
01:09:48
TWIYpod
Got a new stadium for nothing.
01:09:50
Wop
For sure.
01:09:52
TWIYpod
Shout out to Ballmer, and that's ball game.
