Wop: facts.
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.
Wop: ah
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.
TWIYpod: I'm just going play some clips of his most recent piece of content. Very well produced, by the way. Very well produced.
TWIYpod: a word from wrong.
TWIYpod: Right? Not one word. Not, is you okay? Is family okay? Is mom okay? Is sister okay? Not a word.
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 one time. You're talking about this, look you know, like,
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.
TWIYpod: Like, I thought, like, you feel me? This is my dog. So...
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.
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.
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.
Wop: No, thanks.
TWIYpod: It looked like they was decently close outside of real life.
Wop: Ooh, true.
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.
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.
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?
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?
TWIYpod: I want you to know that that's politics.
TWIYpod: That's corporate politics to, to still shout out Dave and say, Dave is a solid dude.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wop: Of course.
Wop: I mean,
Wop: no matter what, part of this is Pat's fault.
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.
Wop: But we do live in this industry where potentially certain things can force a hand.
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,
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.
Wop: So, I just think what...
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.
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?
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.
Wop: No loyalty. For sure.
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.
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 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.
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.
Wop: This is the easy e situation, right? Like, to a degree. Like, y'all took Dre, but I'm still eating off that.
TWIYpod: You still see that roofless stamp.
Wop: Yeah.
TWIYpod: You still see that roofless stamp.
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...
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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 the point guard position to ever play the game.
Wop: um I don't think.
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.
Wop: No.
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.
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.
Wop: But...
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.
Wop: a good guard ever.
TWIYpod: Like that nigga was fighting for his life. You hear me?
Wop: Man,
TWIYpod: That Rajah, Rajah Bell was fighting for his life on a 10 day contract with the Sixers fighting for his life.
Wop: stop it. He was, he, that
TWIYpod: 10 days. Yo, yo make something happen or else we'll never see you again.
Wop: nigga wasn't on those. They weren't even doing 10 day contracts in the league.
TWIYpod: then um I promise you.
Wop: Yeah.
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.
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,
Wop: Thank you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wop: But gang, if a motherfucker think you'll choke your sister, they think you'll choke anybody, nigga.
TWIYpod: Anybody can get it.
TWIYpod: Fuck is you talking about? It starts at home.
Wop: All my life he knew,
TWIYpod: If I'm a choke my sister, what the fuck do you think I'm going to do to you when I get my hands on you, bro?
Wop: though. He choking and
TWIYpod: Like, that's that's that's my beef with it. Like, it Henry Ruggs is about to get a job in the NFL again, bro. Michael Vick got a job in the NFL after the dog ring.
Wop: though. Nah. Some of the receiver, dude. He finna get of jail?
TWIYpod: Yeah, he going to get another job, bro.

TWIYpod: Henry Ruggs going to get out of jail, gang, and he going to have a job. And for some reason, Pat Bev can't fucking podcast no more because he had a family issue.
Wop: It's a family affair.

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.
TWIYpod: I blew you off because I didn't know what you were talking about.
Wop: Thank
TWIYpod: That's the situation. Yes or no? Yes. So...
TWIYpod: I swear all black people live the same life.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Wop: Why?
TWIYpod: Because it sounds like we about to get physical.
Wop: I mean, no,
TWIYpod: It sounds very threatening. It's a very threatening tone.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
Wop: like that? yeah.
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,
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.
TWIYpod: Yeah, that nigga didn't look athletic. That producer nigga didn't look athletic.
Wop: He was shook. You could tell.
TWIYpod: He didn't look like he ever caught an alley-oop from Jason Kidd.
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?
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...
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.
Wop: I gotta work with him, though, still. But he a goofy. I could have fold his ass right now.
TWIYpod: And that's what I don't like. I don't like because i I'm a results based guy.
Wop: You're folding.
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.
TWIYpod: we We even there. But I can't put money in your pocket no more.
Wop: I mean, he ain't put...
TWIYpod: I can't continue to put money in your pocket no more.
Wop: More than likely, he probably gonna want to leave anyway. that that It's real now. This shit ain't no game. He...
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.
Wop: Kingy can't terminate. That's the thing.
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.
Wop: He did all that just to prove a point that this nigga a He a goofy.
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.
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.
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.
Wop: If you don't your ass, you don't get no cool points because can you mind to beat the nigga ass?
TWIYpod: You
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.
TWIYpod: don't get points for that. Yeah, you don't get points for that.
Wop: it don't know
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.
Wop: it don't know to who
TWIYpod: um did
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wop: Oh for so. so
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.
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.
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
Wop: No, for real.
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.
Wop: No, fix.
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.
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.
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.
Wop: Like never.
TWIYpod: You finna lie?
Wop: I'm not. All
TWIYpod: You finna lie? if we If this is the lie pod, then say it's the lie pod.
Wop: right.
TWIYpod: I'll start lying too.
Wop: All right, on everything I love, on my life, I've been fanned out of a nigga.
TWIYpod: thank you. Thank you.
Wop: My daddy, nigga. Fuck you talking about?
TWIYpod: Aw. Hey yo, you hear
Wop: Fuck, is you cool? That's the only nigga I've ever been fanned out of. That's the only nigga I've ever looked up to and said, yeah, I want to be like him or better than him. Fuck.
TWIYpod: Wow, you told me about the time when Tommy came to Soldier Field and you told Tommy you ran 5.842.
Wop: Are you sure?
TWIYpod: You was like, Tom Brady, I also ran a 5.840. Don't feel bad. you Like, you told Tom Brady that.
Wop: Nigga, I don't know what you're talking about.
TWIYpod: And then he autographed your hand and you ain't washed your hand for a week. You was just walking around looking crazy. Dapping niggas with the left. Because you you ain't want to give them the right hand dap because it had Tommy's name on it.
Wop: You dumb?
TWIYpod: Give him moist left handed daps.
Wop: Yeah.
TWIYpod: Because Tom signed your hand.
Wop: Nigga, I'm never, ah Tom Brady is my favorite football player ever, for sure, for sure.
TWIYpod: And you bought Uggs because you wanted to be like Tommy.
Wop: I bitch some Uggs, I've never bought.
TWIYpod: ah
Wop: <unk> what so
TWIYpod: ah you You see the tiny shit I'll be trying to put on it ni a nigga jacket.
Wop: Crazy work, nigga, no, no, no, Tom Brady is definitely my favorite football player ever. I just fuck with his hard work, commitment. I like the, again, the ah journey. I fuck with players' journeys, like all players. Same thing with Kobe. That's why he's my favorite athlete ever.
Wop: You know i'm saying?
TWIYpod: Yeah.
Wop: I fuck with your journey. You know what I'm saying? how you How you got to where you got ultimately, like, to me is, it's the story. It's it's the the the grind, the commitment because, know,
Wop: 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.
TWIYpod: And when he when he took a break from the film room, he went to the kitchen.
Wop: Here
TWIYpod: He got some frozen some frozen fruit out the freezer.
Wop: you go. you.
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.
Wop: I don't don't know. don't know.
TWIYpod: you Oh, but you but you stand with him, gang.
Wop: don't know. don't I don't know. don't don't know. don't know. I I don't
TWIYpod: You standing there with him.
Wop: I don't know. don't don't know. don't know. don't know. don't don't I know.
TWIYpod: Ah, ah, mmm, mmm.
Wop: don't don't don't know. I know. I
TWIYpod: You got to draw that line.
Wop: don't know.
TWIYpod: You got to draw that line.
Wop: don't know. I don't don't
TWIYpod: So after they step off the field, it's over.
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
Wop: None. Ain't nobody ever gave me $100,000 plus to do anything. I don't relate to none of these niggas.
TWIYpod: and I felt that.
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.
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.
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.
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
TWIYpod: No.
TWIYpod: I relate to I relate to Kirk Cousins.
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.
Wop: Yeah.
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.
Wop: Yeah.
TWIYpod: I like stealing from the man.
Wop: Yeah. You, you still in a different way though. He steals, he steals, he steals.
TWIYpod: Contractually.
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.
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.
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
Wop: if you fake play like Chris Paul, why you didn't fake make it to the league, bitch? you think what the fuck?
TWIYpod: Nah, nah.
Wop: Why
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?
Wop: would say that, though? You know, niggas is not finna say they play like a role player.
Wop: Niggas never think they play like role players, gang.
TWIYpod: You know what I'm saying?
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.
Wop: It's a lot of hard work they go into making it to the league, bro.
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?
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...
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.
TWIYpod: Better than better than them.
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.
TWIYpod: Nigga played it for like 25 years.
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.
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.
Wop: It's hard, right?
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.
Wop: For sure.
Wop: for sure
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.
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.
Wop: No fact.
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.
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.
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.
TWIYpod: And it's the money thing. Well...
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wop: Day one.
Wop: Most of the time.
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.
Wop: No bad executive. He, he really wasn't.
TWIYpod: He is a bad executive. He drafted Sean May.
Wop: he
Wop: Gang, Sean.
TWIYpod: He drafted morrison
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.
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.
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.
TWIYpod: 6'4 power forward, bro.
Wop: Gang.
TWIYpod: He wasn't.
Wop: Gang.
TWIYpod: It wasn't going to translate into that game, into that style of basketball.
Wop: Gang.
TWIYpod: wasn't going to translate. He got drafted too high because of who knows what. Him.
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...
TWIYpod: As long as you're saying that.
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.
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?
TWIYpod: why can't you Why can't you just do this this way at a high level like I do
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wop: No, for sure.
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.
TWIYpod: Putting a team in Vegas is the worst thing to combat that.
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?
Wop: Vegas is the only other place that makes sense, bro.
TWIYpod: No, and no other place makes more sense.
Wop: and Like, why would I put a fucking team and think, I mean, uh, like, uh, you know, uh,
TWIYpod: You can't put no more teams in California. You can't put no more teams in New York.
Wop: Exactly.
TWIYpod: You can't put no more teams in Canada.
Wop: Like...
TWIYpod: Please, take take the one team out of Canada and bring them to the States.
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.
TWIYpod: Wait, wait. Fuck it up now, Crote.
Wop: Brody, Kearney.
TWIYpod: Crote. What are you doing? hey hu e What are you doing, Crote?
Wop: The ambassador, Kearney. Like...
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.
TWIYpod: So it it is going to be a very much sports town in Vegas.
Wop: Vegas
TWIYpod: But I just fucking hate it, man, because Vegas don't. Vegas has won some shit.
Wop: be don't wake up.
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.
TWIYpod: It's a vacation city, but it's not a sports town.
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.
Wop: So they had their moment, but
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wop: I think Sacramento going to sell them in minute.
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.
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.
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.
TWIYpod: Well,
TWIYpod: maybe Memphis. Minnesota was close. Minnesota was close. They'll never get that close again, though.
Wop: Minnesota who?
TWIYpod: Timberwolves, they'll never get that close again.
Wop: Why not? What do we be talking about, bro? Ant is not going, bro. Ant one of them.
TWIYpod: You think he's...
Wop: What? Think what?
TWIYpod: You think the way that team is presently assembled that they have a chance against other folks in the West?
Wop: thing I think, I think this is the thing. Not, I'm not saying they can just flat out beat anybody. No.
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.
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.
Wop: I'm saying it's a scenario where if he's potentially the best player on the court, anything can happen.
Wop: Anything, bro. I'm not saying still happens.
TWIYpod: Anything can happen. And
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.
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.
Wop: The Timberwolves win it.
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.
Wop: little
TWIYpod: I can't trust him to win a seven game series.
Wop: I've seen him beat enough niggas. I've seen him beat a Luka and LeBron team just last year. Smoke the boys.
TWIYpod: Nigga, that's Luka and LeBron.
Wop: Ain't no niggas nothing, niggas. Ain't no niggas nothing.
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.
TWIYpod: They about to roll that nigga to the fucking retirement home for basketball players.
Wop: so
TWIYpod: And he had chubby pre-Ozempic Luka out there. And you talking about, seen what he did to Luka LeBron.
Wop: Yes.
TWIYpod: That was a fat white man from the YMCA and a nigga that has male pattern baldness. What are we talking about?
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.
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?
TWIYpod: All time? Like his whole career or this year?
Wop: No. Right now in the game, right? Like you still think he's a top 25 player, right?
TWIYpod: This year?
Wop: Yes.
TWIYpod: No. No. No, he stopped he's top 20 this year. Yeah. But it's at the low end.
Wop: Okay. It does.
TWIYpod: It's at the low end. Bron's down.
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?
TWIYpod: No. I would say he showed flashes.
Wop: Flashes.
TWIYpod: He showed flashes after that Luka trade when they went on that run and they smashed February. They looked good.
Wop: Okay.
TWIYpod: But I knew that was flash in the pan. I knew that wasn't going to last because they're missing pieces.
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?
TWIYpod: No.
Wop: Why not?
TWIYpod: No.
Wop: it The Lakers were the three seed, the Timberwolves was the six seed. Why not?
TWIYpod: Great. They got great seating. That's excellent. But I knew they wasn't finna win because they're missing too many pieces.
Wop: Okay.
TWIYpod: 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.
TWIYpod: Nobody's scared of NBA Justin Bieber.
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.
TWIYpod: But he ain't that every night.
Wop: yeah I'm
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.
TWIYpod: The fucking Timberwolves got that French nigga that started COVID over there just chilling.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wop: He don't...
TWIYpod: That's good. not i like i like his I like his attitude.
Wop: Yeah.
TWIYpod: I like his outlook on things.
Wop: I don't
TWIYpod: but they're But they're missing pieces over there. They're missing pieces.
Wop: necessarily missing pieces. I think
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.
Wop: they got other players.
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.
Wop: Juke is right. right
Wop: You're chatting, man. Julius Randle is not weak. Come on, man.
TWIYpod: Huh?
Wop: Julius Randle is not weak.
TWIYpod: Yeah, he is. don't like him. I don't like him, man.
Wop: Yeah, what?
TWIYpod: don't like those.
Wop: Definitely.
TWIYpod: don't like those those fucking those underprivileged power forwards that think they can do everything and they can't do nothing consistently.
Wop: I told you about that. That's
TWIYpod: don't like those guys.
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.
TWIYpod: Bullied him.
Wop: It don't matter.
TWIYpod: They bullied him. They bullied him.
Wop: It don't matter.
TWIYpod: The Thunder bullied him.
Wop: It don't matter. don't matter.
TWIYpod: Who was it that bullied them to? Was it I Heart?
Wop: It don't matter.
TWIYpod: Was it Hartenstein?
Wop: It don't matter.
TWIYpod: little bit of Holmgren got on them too.
Wop: It don't matter.
TWIYpod: Like they they they hold him.
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.
TWIYpod: So that's who you got in the Western Conference Finals, OKC versus Minnesota.
Wop: I really got the Thunder versus the Spurs type shit, but.
TWIYpod: this That's different. OK.
Wop: I think Wimby is poised to get the state time.
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.
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.
TWIYpod: At the finals. Or whenever they meet, it's just going to be must-see TV.
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.
TWIYpod: Got a new stadium for nothing.
Wop: For sure.
TWIYpod: Shout out to Ballmer, and that's ball game.
