Knicks' Winning Streak Spotlight

00:01:07

Speaker

Alright, so let's start with some news and rumors that we had going on, man. I want to say this. I don't want to jinx the squad, but the Knicks are on the winning streak. We did take an L, but we were on a nice winning streak and we are getting talked about in a positive way.

00:01:23

Speaker

I don't want to jinx it but we'll see but yeah that's kind of interesting to me first and you know all New York teams at that other sports as well I know but Brooklyn and the Knicks is popping right now even though they just talked about how it was just happened today they talked about how

00:01:43

Speaker

Golden State won and they were just like, oh KD, how do you feel about that? And they were like, I don't care about that. I just wanted the ball. I left because I wanted the ball and do better than Bron, better than Jordan. I just want to do me. And they're just like, yo, I didn't want Golden State to win because they knew that they were going to come look at him. And the media was going to brag about it, like KD. Oh, that's funny. Why would they ask him that? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. How long has he been going? Because they treated KD like, yo, he wasn't the first option.

00:02:11

Speaker

They looked at him as like, yo, it's Curry's team, he was the second. No, he was definitely the first option. Yes, to basketball heads, yes. He was, what? To the envy, the trophies he's hooked, he signed up. Not to the media. Bruh, he had MVPs and I'm fine with it. Not to the media, the media. The media had that because that was Curry's team.

00:02:32

Speaker

He came to Curry's team. Yeah. Oh yeah. Okay. I seen that standpoint. Like you came to my team, but he still was the first option. I'm trying to know what's the X factor. I remember when he got over, I was crazy. I was like, wow. That was wild. I was just, it was funny to see them flexing. Like,

00:02:52

Speaker

Like, look what we doing to everybody. It's like, why are you on this squad? I actually felt bad for Bron though, because he came back from college.

Trey Young's Potential Moves

00:03:00

Speaker

He did his thing in Miami. He came back home. He wanted to show that he was mature enough to give championships. Not one championship, but many. And KD took that all away. Yeah, he did. He snatched it from him. And we're saying it like it was KD. It was KD and the rest of the Avengers doing it to him.

00:03:19

Speaker

Like, they had everybody on that team. They squatted up like that, though, like the Avengers, definitely. And all they had was just a bucket. Curry was Black Panther. Why was he in Black Panther? Because he was the leader, and he did it like T'Challa would. He ain't got to talk it. He just had what he had to do. Rest in peace. Yeah. Man, so how about this news about more news about Trey, though? Trey is on the trading block. Not the trading block, but he's in this shit. Did not tell you.

00:03:47

Speaker

I told you. I don't know where he's at. Where are you trying to go? Look, all I kept saying is executives already saw what happened, and that brother is going to be the first thing smoking to some team. The Knicks, we were just talking about it. No, I hope not. The Knicks want some star. But for real, I'm going to name you a couple of teams that would make sense for him. The Clippers, the Lakers, Chicago.

00:04:17

Speaker

in a surprising team, Orlando. I would say Chicago, Orlando. I mean, Orlando, I would put, that's where he should go. That would be crazy if he goes there. I want him to stay in the East. I would rather see him in the East than anything.

00:04:31

Speaker

He said what? He's Reggie Miller. I don't like him if he's not on our team. He disrespected us. Yeah, I mean, but still, if he goes to Orlando, I would like that. Yeah, I think that's a. They were on a winning streak, too. Yeah, they can still start, you know, he can pick up from there. He can finally take that role as a yo like.

00:04:48

Speaker

that leader leadership role. Even though

DeMar's Career Frustrations

00:04:51

Speaker

he hasn't won anything, but he's been in the league longer. It's a young team over there in Orlando. So I think that would be kind of cool. And he's not going to a team. Like if he goes to Chicago to me, I think like that's a whole rebuild. They're trying to do a whole rebuild. The next player I was going to talk about is the Mar and Zach. You know what I'm saying? Like they're trying to move too. Well, they ain't trying to wait. What beef did you hear about? Like I said, they're not working together. Well, what beef did you had beef in that one game where

00:05:17

Speaker

They weren't understanding each other on the court where they actually just trickled into the rest of the game. But that's not as bad as... How does that happen at this stage in the game?

00:05:28

Speaker

how long he's gone so deep. I think DeMar's just pissed. And it's just like, yo. That everything didn't work out for him? Yeah. What year? I kind of think that. I think he's just sick and tired of it. I didn't get to leave, so now. I got traded off a potential winning championship team. Toronto. That won the next year. I went to San Antonio on a rebuild. I leave San Antonio to go to Chicago, and my point guard is dead.

00:05:51

Speaker

And when he was in the mix of going, before he was going to Chicago, he was in the mix of LA. So it was just like, dang. And then the shutdown. Would you blame management? I mean, his agents, I'm sorry? No, no. Nah. Nah, you blame Bron. I can't always just blame this guy. Yeah, how do you know? The reports were that Bron had his selected players that he wanted. He wanted Dame first.

00:06:17

Speaker

Then he couldn't get Dane. Dane said no. Then he wanted Sacramento's boys. He wanted Buddy Hill. Then his third option was Russell. Demar wanted to come home.

00:06:33

Speaker

What's his name? Magic already was doing his magic does what magic does. He had his connections. He was feeding that in there. You already know. He got sent packing. Yeah. All right. Yeah. So that that that was Brian. Yeah. What a great decision. Sadly for everybody. But also real body body. How do y'all like DeAndre? Oh yeah. And the coach.

00:07:03

Speaker

Yo, Bradley Beale was in the mix and he was looking, he was like, oh, y'all gonna fight right now in front of me? Let's, yeah, I like that. Keep talking that, keep talking that, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a killer, yo, he's a villain. And yo, he actually fucked up my coworker's parlay. Because he didn't take enough threes. Now he still went off in the game and then he did,

00:07:29

Speaker

That, like he was laughing at their dysfunction. Yeah, but that's embarrassing because it's Washington. Washington is hot garbage. And they're in the middle of a rebuild. They're trying to trade Kuzma. Yeah, they are. Three teams that are interested in him. Not the Knicks. The Knicks are one. The Knicks are one. Phoenix is another. The Lakers are a third. If he goes back to LA, I'll be very surprised. Bron has to approve that.

00:07:57

Speaker

Hey, he won with him, so he might say, get your shit together. You can come back. Yeah, but he's a real legit shooter. No, no, no. What does L.A. need? And they need shooters. So why would he? They don't need just a body. I mean, Kuzma, he's built. He's he's gotten better. He's like old games, a little better.

00:08:17

Speaker

You can say that, yeah. Like, he's a runner, he's a dunker, he's, he could shoot a downshot from time to time. But he's got better from his experience playing for a championship team. The bubble helped out a lot. And he got it back. Who was I talking about? Like, yo, Bron has gotten so much people paid, like so many players paid. J.R. Smith. Yo, he's got so many, Tristan Thompson. Tristan Thompson, I was about to say that. That's the prime example right there. And he is out the league. Kendrick Perkins, 2.0.

00:08:43

Speaker

Yeah, host that. Actually, I like to think about that. Kendrick was better than him. One

Jokic's Triple-Double Comparison

00:08:50

Speaker

day we got to do a comparison between... Bruh. Yeah, we got to... There is one stat that trumps all of Kendrick's. What?

00:09:00

Speaker

He impregnated and cheated on a Kardashian multiple times. In the same season. And he kept his sanity. And he kept his sanity. Kept his sanity. He wins. Didn't have to lose his money. Not yet. What? And he finessed when he got caught. Remember? He finessed like, oh, that wasn't me. Like, I was just talking to the story. That's a Jordan Williams situation. And then they showed the recording. He was in a whole relationship with her.

00:09:25

Speaker

And she's flier than. You know what? Off the court, he's a he's a goat. So, you know, off the court, he's a goat for that one. But now the son's dysfunctional, like in Eitan and Monty was going at it, too. Like, like, yo, they still got the same beef. Like, I'm surprised they picked him up. Like, I was surprised they picked him up. And even in the interviews, he was like, yeah, we haven't talked. I'm like, so y'all just picked him up and y'all know, like the coach in the star center.

00:09:55

Speaker

not feeling each other like that. You know, just pay that man again. Like Monty shouldn't leave. If anything, the player should leave. But I like Aiten, you know, but I just. Aiten's motor is. They were trashing him, but every time he played, he'd do good. Everybody's on him. Like, you know what I'm saying? They were trashing him like, yo, I heard this, this, this, that. We don't we didn't hear no true facts about that. Everybody said everybody kept saying I heard it. I heard trash in the playoffs.

00:10:23

Speaker

He went MIA, he went cold. Yeah, he did. He went wherever CP3 went. Ooh, yeah. Yeah. But another positive thing about that team, Robert Sarver had to sell it and he sold it to a billionaire. Yeah. But he sold the Suns and the Mercury for $4 billion to Matt Ishbia. Ishbia? Ishbia? Yeah.

00:10:53

Speaker

Fun fact about him, he's short. And he played at Michigan State from 1999 to 2002. I saw the video clip on IG, so I knew that.

00:11:06

Speaker

He rocked bench, really. Now he got a little buckets. What? He had like one point in his hand. He put a little three pointer. He put it up there. He ran in there. He shot that one three. Izzo was laughing at him. Izzo was laughing at him, little kid. And now this is not even a real source, but someone on our page keeps thinking that Izzo is going to come coach for the Suns. No. Over a month? No. Well, the owners, the owners,

00:11:36

Speaker

Yeah, that's crazy. If I was in there, I'd be like, no, I'm good in Michigan. Get them college coaches. They get paid, bro. Yeah, but guess what? They don't get shipped around like that, either. But not even just that. Facts. I like that, too. Coaches and college can actually get in someone's face. You can't get in most people's faces.

00:11:54

Speaker

And then, yeah, you probably kind of cut it. And then just get fired. Just have a black eye later on or something. And right now, at this point in time, everybody's suing somebody all that. Back in the day, they would have fought. I can't wait to see somebody, as a matter of fact. Yeah. Yeah. Nate. This is not Nate's episode. We did that last episode. But Nate's still a dickhead. He's still around.

00:12:21

Speaker

Now I got a question for you with our rumors though. What's up? Jokic, 119 to 115, he scored that game against Charlotte.

Carmelo: Knicks or Nuggets?

00:12:30

Speaker

He scored 40 points, 27 rebounds, 10 assists. Yeah. Only two other players in history has done that kind of triple double. Who are they? Why is he quizzing us all the time? Yeah. What the fuck? Both for Hall of Famers.

00:12:45

Speaker

On your life? Whoever gets it right gets to order the piece of tonight. On your credit card? Alright. Bill? Nah.

00:12:53

Speaker

Just give me a picture of yours real quick, and I'll give everybody the numbers. After I get yours. Okay, let's treat. Who did it? All right, Will Chamberlain, Elgin Banner. Will, oh, well. Oh, Elgin. Oh, yeah. Say, cheat it. Like 70 years ago. Right? So do you put him as a, do you think he's gonna be a possible goat one day? As a big man?

00:13:20

Speaker

He gonna be in there. You know what we gotta do first though? We gotta go back and get with people who are always not in a conversation but should be like Tim Duncan. And I couldn't stand Tim Duncan. I know, low key did not like Tim Duncan. I did, he was fundamental.

00:13:37

Speaker

He was fundamental, I liked him. I didn't like him, but he liked him. His numbers, I was watching him, you'd be like, all right, I'm watching him. And then at the end of the game, you're like, yo, when did he do all this? When did he do all this? Post moves, everything. The only time I remember him, I was watching him when he was dominant. I mean, he was always dominant. Me cleared up. The only time I was paying attention, I was like, yo, he's killing everybody. It was that heat and spurs. I was like... Because he could not be stopped.

00:14:04

Speaker

I was like, yo, he's killing my automatic. He was a droid. You know, he was killing him. That's what I was like. He is really that good locks. But back in the day, I wasn't I just hated him. I don't like it. Yeah. He almost went to Orlando.

00:14:19

Speaker

No, let me tell you a story about some Omos. Back in the day, I had NBA Street, and you know you gotta climb the rankings, and I blew through the West. I had TMac, I had AI, I had Baron Davis, I had Shaq, Kobe, and I had a creative player named The Juice.

00:14:39

Speaker

Rest in peace, the juice. We get all of it. It's probably three teams left. I beat the Blazers and I have to play the Spurs. And the Spurs would not stop, like blocking my shot. David Robinson, Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan and... Yeah, Bruce Warren on there or nah? Nah, older than that. Sean Elliott. I might have been like Sean Elliott. I wanna be Sean. Yeah. Not J.R. Ryder.

00:15:03

Speaker

It might have been him. It was so annoying. They kept blocking my shot. I lost the game.

00:15:10

Speaker

and there were my undefeated record. He was getting beat by Steve Kerr. He was not there at all. He played for the Spurs though. But there's only three people in NBA Street, so why would he be on the court? I don't know. Am I just going to choose Steve Kerr? Can you imagine how they would do his stoop haircut on NBA Street? That ain't right. I want to get back to one more thing. When you were saying, do you think he's going to be like the GOAT?

00:15:34

Speaker

Um, imagine this. So like we had Carmelo that was at the nuggets. So his Jersey may get hung up there, but Joker is going to get looked at more because of that. So Joker ruined that. We look at Milwaukee, the Bucks, Ray Allen, his Jersey not going to get hung up there because Giannis is killing over there. So they killed.

00:15:56

Speaker

That's crazy, right? So these players just destroyed, like, their ceremonial stuff at, you know, where they first started off at. Like, that's the funniest thing ever. Like, it's done for. The way Joker's going off, the way Yanna's going off, you're not even going to think about Melo's stats or Ray Allen's stats in the Bucks. You're really not. The only time you think about Ray Allen in the Bucks is like, oh, he used to dunk there? Wow, I didn't know he dunked. Some young boys might say that. People don't even know he used to golf like that. I remember them, D.

00:16:24

Speaker

I mean, we do, but like, I remember them days. But still, you know what they could do from Melo? What? They could take his headband and put it up there and you think about him all the time. I don't think he's gonna get it. In New York he will. He's gonna get it from there. How's he gonna have it in New York but not in New York?

00:16:45

Speaker

because someone's overshining him. Like, it's no question. He's doing so many things. No question. Back to back MVPs. Yeah. Melo's not even getting thought about at the Nuggets, bro. The only thing they think about is like, oh, you got drafted there. Nice. That's about it. And the thing you think about is simplifying this just a little bit.

00:17:03

Speaker

Nah. We'll wait and see. We don't ever really agree that much. Right? Yes. And I'll wait and see. Yeah. We'll wait and see. When it's time to hang them Raptors up, when Ray Allen, he's done. But when Melo's really officially done, because it might be, I still think he should be in league. So y'all think when people hear Carmelo and Anthony, they think more of the Knicks, number seven. Yeah. Than number 15 on the Nuggets. I think it's outshined. If you think about, yes, I would say just to answer your question, yes.

00:17:33

Speaker

If you take two more years, you say Carmelo Anthony, and you think about the generations behind us, they're gonna be like, he played for the Knicks. They're not even gonna think about his accolades or accomplishments, whatever he did in Nuggets, they're gonna think about Joker, that's it. I can't imagine a world where that's true, but. I know, but still. It's gonna be weird, it's gonna be weird. When I hear that, that's gonna be strange. It's gonna happen. We're in a retirement home. Carmelo not gonna get no love, crazy love like that. Because now that brings up, like what about LeBron?

LeBron's Jersey Retirements

00:18:03

Speaker

He won, he won, he won wherever he went. So, yeah, but when you think about it. Broz getting his place hung up in three places, Miami, Cleveland, and tacky ass L.A. Cause he gonna get it in L.A. He gonna get it in L.A. He gonna get that in L.A. He's gonna get the scoring championship in L.A. He got a championship in L.A. He is. His tour is gonna be crazy. His tour is gonna be crazy. Yeah, they're gonna give it to him. And it's L.A. They're gonna do that.

00:18:32

Speaker

Do you need to start saving up to go to LA? They might. Do you know whose name, whose number it's gonna get in the Raptors, but never win a championship?

00:18:41

Speaker

Chris, well, Damon, Mr. Damon, he got 18. He got he broke Clyde director's all time scoring record for Portland. Oh, he's going to get that Portland. Yeah, he's going to stay there forever. He's not going anywhere. You saw the interview he that was throwing up with Shaw. Yeah, he was giving his advice. I mean, he was saying some facts, but this is like any damn like.

00:19:03

Speaker

You're not going anywhere, bro. You're not trying to... He's just like... To me, that's just someone that just loves to hoop. It's too late. He don't care. It's too late. I mean, it's too late. But at this point, he's just like, I'm just hooping. Shut up. I'm just hooping. I would tell him to do the same thing. Just stay there and hoop and see what happens. But... Ain't gonna win nothing. Chauncey gonna get fired next year. Dang, that early? You think so? This is year two.

00:19:28

Speaker

Most coaches don't really make it past their full contract. Their contract is usually four to five years. If you ain't making the playoffs by year two or three, yes. Oh, the West is crazy right now, though. Yeah, but their ass. Nate, what's good on their roster? Who's good on their roster? Damn.

00:19:47

Speaker

What else? That's like, when Mello was with the Knicks. Wait, what was it? Simmons? Simeon? Simmons? Efony Simmons? Yeah. Shorter? What else? Nobody else wants to go there, honestly. I don't know who else. But, Dad, I'd be crazy if Chauncey gets bounced. That's us. Oh, he gonna get bounced.

00:20:09

Speaker

Yeah, that's probably the least crazy thing I've heard on this podcast today. You want everything else in the wild? You want to hear something typical? Let's have it. The Knicks lost their 2025 second round pick for the tampering rules for Jaylen Brunson.

00:20:24

Speaker

Wow, let's talk about something else. All right. So let's go into injuries, since it's like it's getting to that time of the season. Players are breaking, teams are breaking up, some teams are still healthy with it. Stack, give us a little bit more on the injuries. Let's talk about the person that we talk about every week, Anthony Davis. Street clothes.

00:20:48

Speaker

That's the funniest nickname. Yo, he about to be a brand ambassador for every street clothes in the world. No, that's going to happen to him. Would it be like H&M or something? Damn. No, not even H&M. It's going to be American Eagle. Oh, man. I went low on that joke, right? My face is tore up. But Jabron, throw this clip.

00:21:18

Speaker

That's dirty. Well, I tell you what, what about the Lakers down? The same thing I thought about them last week, nothing. I mean, obviously they need, obviously they need AD and we wish them well, but I mean, honestly, what was the Lakers going on? I mean, they don't have the roster, right? They don't have the pizzas unless they was playing on making a move, but I mean, this is just going to set them back even more. I think the only thing that we really,

00:21:48

Speaker

to say look promising right now is I mean LeBron James.

00:21:54

Speaker

He's got great, you know, he's what, 700 plus points away from breaking the all-time score record, but not seriously. I mean, Russ been playing phenomenal. Dennis Shruder, I thought his energy, his impact on both ends of the floor has been great. And Thomas Bryant has shown some spur. So in all honesty, I really think the Lakers are going to be okay though. I really do. I think they're going to be okay. I think, I think,

00:22:22

Speaker

that they're gonna be able to keep their hand or still float, you know, around that 500 range until AD gets back. I really do. I think they're in a better position in the Warriors. Let me ask you something, Kendrick, and I know you're not a doctor or nothing like that, but you played in the NBA, and you're a big man, and you played a long time, and you banged and used underneath the boards and all. You need to shoot no threes, but I get it.

00:22:50

Speaker

Why does this keep happening to Anthony Davis? Why? Every single year, around this time, Christmas time, all of a sudden, something

Anthony Davis' Injury Concerns

00:23:01

Speaker

happens. Why? I mean, I'm trying to figure it out, too. And it's hard because, you know, all we hear about is, you know, how much work he put in until the off season.

00:23:15

Speaker

You know, he really worked on his body and he's really worked on his conditioning. I mean, we hear all these stories, but yet we've been in the same place all the time. And I'm starting to realize that this just might be A.D. Like his body just might be one of those type of bodies that just can't hold up.

00:23:40

Speaker

So he just said, basically, it's fragile. He is. You know that. Remember he went and grabbed a rebound and landed on both feet and injured his back. Oh, yeah. Like, saving Private Ryan. Like, this dude made a glass of. That's just not as bad as Curry's injury.

00:24:08

Speaker

Curry, I feel like. What happened to him? Yeah, I kept looking at that. Like, what is the problem? And. He try to grab. Did he tear or something? It didn't. Nah, it's just like, it's just badly messed up. There's no surgery. Surgery isn't required for him. That's his shooting arm, too. Nah, not shooting arm. Oh, it's not shooting arm? Oh, shit. That's OK. But Curry needs to stay, like, loose. Like, everyone's going to go hard for him.

00:24:35

Speaker

They're gonna try to go hard. AD is just like, you blow on him. It's like, he's out five games. No homo. All right, my bad. But I feel like the AD situation...

00:24:50

Speaker

The AD situation is like, whatever, that's normal. Yeah. Curry's is a problem. Curry gonna end up getting surgery after the season is done. Like a baseball player? Yeah. Quarterback? Yeah, I feel like he's done, but he's gonna play as best as he can.

00:25:08

Speaker

It's almost like... It's like Jalen Hurts. That's not Tommy John, right? That's the elbow. I know what you're thinking. Every kid who was a pitcher and a quarterback always has that. Always had that same injury, yeah. That's what I'm trying to think of. I don't remember what it's called, but yeah. DAG!

00:25:28

Speaker

His is that bad? I thought he was gonna come back. He thought he was coming back like after a game or two. He said that? He thought he was coming back. So he's not coming back. Nah, they say a few weeks. Wait, a few weeks? Then he's coming back. Yeah, but you can come back, but he rushing it.

00:25:45

Speaker

Oh, he no people have said like when his shoulders like you can come back, but you really like You should like chill. Yeah, like yeah, they're what they're like 10th 11th in the um in the conference and you're trying to get into play and catch in Yeah, he's like they catch up. I'm sorry. And once and once they get what they're gonna get in but then how effective is curry gonna be versus having a D and

00:26:12

Speaker

Who's more important for the team, Curry or A.D.? Curry. You think they'll still have A.D.? playoffs, don't talk about playoffs. Well, they already said now that A.D. got hurt, they said, like, yo, we're going to try to get a trade, a minor trade to help. Oh, so they're trying to really move him there. They're trying to do something. Who would take him knowing he's going to be hurt for the next season? Oh, the next.

00:26:38

Speaker

Chicago, stop saying the Knicks before they actually do dumb ass treats. You act like I want that. Did you hear that guy's dad? He said, like, we should take him. I think we should listen to this guy. He's been right for a couple seasons now. Don't do that. He's been right about a lot of shit. We should take him. Somebody can take him. So that I can end up dead? I'm a nimp here. If you intervene with this whole Knicks madness by the end of this episode, maybe it'll happen later. I don't know.

00:27:05

Speaker

Chicago's been talking about him though. Cause that's home. Yeah, but do you think they'll take him? Oh, they're on the rebuild. They're talking about a rebuild. So if that does happen, how dumb is that though? Like how stupid is that to take bruh? It's just as bad as them not having ball as their point guard.

00:27:24

Speaker

So you may be like keeping Lonzo, maybe getting A.D., shipping Damar or Zach, or both of them. And then having both of them being injured at the sink. You're gonna have to do a lot to work that out. That's his whole salad cap. That's reworking everything, all the numbers. All right, cool. So once again, like we talk about every week, it seems like the Lakers have just kind of stuck with the board that they got.

00:27:50

Speaker

Yeah, because they don't want to give it their 2027 or 2029 first round pick. They don't want to pay to play. You're going to have to pay. They don't want to pay. They're trying to get brawny. That's why. Yeah, I don't want that to happen to him. You know where I want them to go? Orlando. Go play with Paolo. Go play with Franz Wagner. Go play with the other Wagner, the other brother.

00:28:18

Speaker

Go play with... If it happens, Bronn going there, if he stay in the league. Bronn gonna go to Disney World every day. You will fuck up their whole team. Yo, he would trade half the squad. Bo-bo, you gots to go. That ain't even right. And he actually is in a happy place. Cole, you too. You gotta go. Cole would definitely get traded. Jaylen, he gotta go too. You with the 10s, Cole. You with the 10s, leave. We sending you to Brooklyn.

00:28:46

Speaker

We're not sending you to New York. We're going to send you to Brooklyn. Take them Tims with you. Don't let them bounce by Brooklyn. Hey, that's hilarious. So those are the major injuries right now. Those are the teams that's being hit at this point. Yeah, everything else is like whatever. Those two injuries are like, well. It's the West though. Hearing Curry, that just makes you as a warrior be like, yo, what the fuck?

00:29:13

Speaker

Yeah, they're going to need him. That's going to come into play. And Clay's not doing what Clay's doing. Clay looked like a shell of himself. And I actually saw crazy. He might be. And he's on a contract year. Well, are we looking at both of them declining? No. Curry thought that he's good for the next. Curry, if he didn't get hurt, I thought he would have been like. But he is hurt right now. If he didn't, I would have said he would have been like Brady over Brian.

00:29:43

Speaker

Overrock just keep playing. Yeah doing this thing. Yeah No, no still playing but They're not the height of their powers. No more clay is weird now. No good, but curry Can't carry you know like what Kurt. I mean clay

00:30:01

Speaker

Still trying to, you don't think so? I think them Achilles. Oh, it changes you. Remember that happened to Kobe? Kobe was not like fast Kobe, but Kobe couldn't like... He was still getting off beforehand, but when that happened, it's like, damn, your body is breaking down. OG? Yeah, like that was like, I think he even said when he got that Achilles, he was about to retire, but his trainer was like, no, no, no, like, this is just another thing that you're going to beat.

00:30:30

Speaker

And he did, but. But it wasn't the same at all. Like, you didn't see no more mamba, mamba. He was still mamba, but it wasn't like, all right, take over. That was that wraparound dunk. Yeah, Nala, that wasn't happening. You ain't see, bro. Because he was already wasn't really dunking that much. But then when that happened, it was like his shoulder and all that. Yo, that shoulder, when he did that, I was like, and then remember he got the knee, too. That was when D'Antoni was on the team.

00:31:00

Speaker

coaching. He had the shoulder and the knee with D'Antoni. D'Antoni didn't need to coach that. They getting hurt out here. Well, let's talk about something a little bit exciting and

I saw like a sneak peek of the statue, though. Yeah. I saw a sneak peek of it. They showed it when he was when they put his number up. They show what it was going to be.

00:32:04

Speaker

No, like the actual sneak peek of it outside the arena. I was on Twitter and I saw that. I was like, oh, I'm trying to break into that. And that may not. I was covered up. And then it was like it fell off from the wind or something. Oh, yeah. I really couldn't. You couldn't see it too well. But like, oh, yo, this statue right there. I was like, oh, that's the dirt. John has had his whole career. And now to the point where he's.

Someone just say he's wrong, just to say he's wrong. Yeah, I'll be like, all right, she'll put the link down. I'm gonna agree because I don't like Duke. At 5 p.m. it's Milwaukee versus Boston. That's a good game. Yeah, that's the one I really wanna watch. At 8 o'clock it's Memphis versus Golden State.

00:33:52

Speaker

And then the 1030, which most people won't be watching because they'll be knocked out and drunk. It's the Phoenix Suns versus the Denver Nuggets at 1030. I must say this. Obviously, the next Philly game is going to be dope. Yeah, but that one game.

00:34:08

Speaker

Boston that Boston yeah bucks game is something you really need to pay attention to that's gonna I think that's gonna be like alright cool This is it cuz if that happens in the finals these are conference finals. It's gonna be a battle, bro That's what we wanted last year. Yeah, it is If curry wasn't hurt the goat the Memphis versus Golden State would have been dope because that would have been a repeat Yeah, I was hurt

00:34:33

Speaker

Wait, where's that game at, though? Is it in Memphis? Nah. No, it's in Golden State. Oh, see. Now, if it was in Memphis... Oh, no. They gonna go ham in there, yo. Little country down there. Nah. Turn the club up. Yo, it's gonna go... bruh. Whoop that, everything. They should just pull up with it. But, nah. It's Christmas. They're trying to be holy. You know I would do it.

00:34:57

Speaker

They should've, they should've did it. That Suns game's actually gonna be interesting. You said it right this week. What? This guy. You said my name right, that's Lil. Yeah. Ayo.

00:35:12

Speaker

It's gonna happen to every single person on this podcast. There was something I was gonna say, but that one just exposed some people. I can't. Nah, who's gonna be, I'll stay up, but who's gonna stay up to watch? That's gonna be a good game though. Yeah, bro. Half these fools are gonna be drunk, knocked out. Yeah, I might be awake and still not watch it. I don't know, I don't feel like watching that. What? I'ma watch it, it's gonna be dope. First of all, Chris Paul gonna blow out his hamstring.

00:35:41

Speaker

Damn, I mean. He do it all the time. And then the Joker's gonna score like 40 points. 20 assists.

00:35:52

Speaker

13 rebounds He gonna put work on them now But I think that's the top those gonna be the top two in the West too Cuz I even all my young girls will be up there But that put that might put it up there depends if Monty and I guess I'm eight and can all oh, that's very true Yeah, the team overall is good, but if they can't get they stuff together. It's it's done. They can't talk about championship They can't talk about nothing because they can't talk about playoffs

00:36:18

Speaker

You could probably talk about the playoffs and BS around. But get knocked out in the first round with that squad? You're still in there, but championship? No. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You gotta be, everybody gotta do one court on that joint. They had one shot. That was it. You said what? They only had one shot. That was it. Yeah, they blew it. Yeah. Thanks to Chris Paul. Yeah. Booker got a little soft. He got scared. He wet his pants a little bit. I like Booker, but...

00:36:43

Speaker

You hating on him, bro? No, no hating. You don't like him because he light-scared? Why you hating on Booker like that? No, the only hate we had until we actually heard the tape was Mr. Simmons, but we know he was getting hazed. I ain't got no hate for him. Yeah. I got respect for him. But nah.

00:37:05

Speaker

Phoenix is done. Unless they work out a trade, go get somebody. Yeah. Wait, did they talk about Christmas jerseys or no? They're not doing that. Remember they used to do that every holiday? Yeah, but sometimes they look whack. No, some of them were the same. Some were whack. Remember the shirts? I used to like the shirts. That was stupid. I liked it. That was stupid. The cast had the coolest one. I was just getting ready to shit on that.

00:37:28

Speaker

And then they made ours orange. I know, I was about to say, I was about to say, yo, orange was the ugliest thing ever. Can you imagine them doing that to the bucks right now? But with an M, they walked the stupid deer. Saying that, watch that happen. We'll see that in two days. We'll be stupid.

00:37:48

Speaker

That'll be a short. That's surprising they're not talking about jerseys. They always do something cool with the jerseys. Yeah, but yeah, you know what they also, you know, I don't know, you know, it's also happening to happen.

NBA All-Star Game in Utah

00:37:58

Speaker

Started the 20th NBA All-Star voting. Ah, interesting. But no one's really talking about, you know, there's advertisement for that. Just like there's usually advertisement for the Christmas because usually people will be trying to get Christmas jerseys in time for Christmas gifts. I see none. Question that you don't know. OK, where's the All-Star game at?

00:38:19

Speaker

Ah, he don't know. Next year. Next year. Utah. This nigga just pulled a city out of his ass. No, I think he's so worried. I think he might be in Utah. A location. Just fact check the room. Fact check it. Yo, if it's in Utah, that's crazy. You heard everything that Donovan was saying when he was like, he was like, yo, I had to leave Utah. Like, it was too much racism. Obviously, the teams weren't on like the same go bearing. The other star was like wasn't on it. But he was like, it was crazy racism.

00:38:48

Speaker

Yeah. I didn't hear him say that. Nah, it was like an interview or something. I thought I didn't hear that clip. He was just like, yeah, there was a lot of racism. It's in Phoenix, next. Y'all ain't heard of that yet. Where is it at?

00:39:03

Speaker

Utah, snap man, snap man, yeah that's me. Put some respect on my name. That's not as sucky for mad players because that's not a fun player. Put some respect on my name. Like I said, we were right about him. Put some respect on my name. That was right, he's one. One for one. One for one today. Rap bastard. But that's mad whack. Utah, what they about to get off? What they about to do in Utah? Yeah, why would anybody want to go to Utah?

00:39:30

Speaker

What did they just roll to? Talk to Adam Silver. Don't talk to me. I want to talk to Adam Silver's punk ass. They don't do a drawing? No. Remember that one year it was supposed to be in North Carolina and it almost did not because of the whole things with rights.

00:39:48

Speaker

That's another comment. That wasn't even a minute ago. I mean, that was like two years ago. They almost lost it. Yeah. They had to fix it. Wow. I don't know what's going on. They changed it because they were like, well, we can't figure this out yet. So we're going to have to reload it. Wow.

00:40:06

Speaker

No, wait, no, it's going to be a show. Now, I would have made a quick drive. I would have made a quick drive for that one. Yo, and guess what? I'm that. J. Cole performed that. He was the he performed at halftime. Damn. It was meant to be so sweet, but they all messed it up. Yo, so you got a game for us, bro.

No, this is, this is. Cobra, Captain Planet.

00:41:45

Speaker

Taking pollution down to zero. This is a toolbox. So this is grit. I'm gonna explain it to you and everybody's gonna pick one. I'll even go last. Okay. Okay. This is a toolbox because you're gonna whoever picks this can give one player of their choosing who's playing in a Christmas game the ability to just go off in a game and go to work in that game.

00:42:12

Speaker

This is if you want to be a hater and give somebody an elf who you just don't want to win their game. Oh, team. Okay. Okay. And this is supposed to be a gift card.

00:42:28

Speaker

Give to somebody to get their money back on a busted trade or situation. Damn. So it's only people, uh, the team. I like this. So let me ask. So it's only three of us. So we are only picking three. One of the three. Yeah. You ain't paying attention. You never paid attention. You special.

00:42:52

Speaker

I'm not trying to get this episode taken over. You can't say that. You know you can't say that. That's the years going, yo. Yo! That's a short clip. That one's yours, yo. Oh, so you're giving me that? I like you wanted that too. I'll go first. Open your present, buddy. I'm gonna get shot in this city.

00:43:17

Speaker

Okay, hold on. Oh, y'all, you wanna go to work. Let me, can I ask what this one is again? Yo! It's the toolbox. You don't pay attention! The person to go to work on! Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, listen, you give this to a player on one of them teams. I got you. And they'll go to work in that game. I'm talking Madden ratings up. The 2K sliders, got you. Yeah.

00:43:46

Speaker

That was like mad, dude. Okay, no, no, no, okay. All right, all right. Yeah, yeah. You sure? Who's going first? He said he's going first. I was going last. Oh, go last. Oh, you're paying attention! Damn! Are you proving this dude right? Let's shit normally in this episode. Yo, yo, yo, you supposed to be flexing worldwide, flex. You ain't flexing. Now I'm going first. Oh, he's not. Damn! Listen, Imma give Dallas

00:44:10

Speaker

their money back, because we got a complete steal with Jalen Brunson. It has completely worked out for us, and it has completely not worked out for them. This is dope. I love Jalen Brunson. Great addition to our team. You broke my, uh... What, the mic? Yeah! You serious? They played the Undertaker joint. The other side, bro. Yo! This dude would be dramatic like this during my game segment.

00:44:40

Speaker

That side. You had it. I'm going to hold this for the rest of the day. Yeah, man. See? No, because you special. I got it. So he's doing that with Jalen Brunson right for Dallas. I'm going to give this the sliders all the way up to Braun so he can go all. That's dumb. Why? He always on point. No, he's.

00:45:08

Speaker

He needs to go he needs to have a 52 that's what I'm saying if he always come in he's to have five block He has like a 60-point game. Everybody would say yo father time. Yo, he's 29 feet like everybody will go crazy. So he gets this

00:45:27

Speaker

Yeah. Imagine he- It'd be crazy. He ties up with Luca, rips the ball from him, and dunks like Zion would. And AD's gone every day, and they win. All his 2K sliders up, he's getting this. Okay. Miami Daze, right here. Now, who are you gonna hate on? He should get this. Yeah. I got this stuff carefully. I hate the Sixers.

00:45:55

Speaker

Give them the L, quick. Engineer, they can have you. They can take that L real quick. Take City of Philly from me to you. Merry Christmas. Oh, you got more stuff in there? Huh? You got more stuff in there? You think I got more? They keep going in the bag. You're greedy. My arm is cold.

00:46:14

Speaker

Nah, I got one more. Oh, OK. I knew it. I was like, yo, he got my phone in there. You got shots? You taking shots on there? Bro, get help. Oh, mystery. The hero. I'm calling the police on James Dolan. He's getting arrested. Cannot fuck with our team anymore. Merry Christmas. It's a wrap. Make the right decision. Make the right decision. Ooh.

00:46:44

Speaker

Wait, I love the game, but if we had to make a twist. This guy. You couldn't even do the first thing. I would say this. If you had to pick this, who would you give it to, since you was talking so much shit? We're the guys. You were like, why? Who would you give this to? Chris Paul.

00:47:04

Speaker

because he can't make it. That would be very surprising. I'd be funny though. He can't ever stay healthy. That would be funny. I gotta give it to him. If he actually went off, all his sliders is crazy, like yo, Chris Paul did what? Think about it. Next game he gets hurt. Nah, but think about it. He really didn't get hurt that much when he was messing around with Kim Kardashian. You said Chris Paul? Yeah.

00:47:29

Speaker

Kanye said. You said it. That was no that uh. Drake put the slip of the no mashes us. Chris was uh you know from time to time. But I gotta give it to Chris. You would give it to Chris? Yeah I would honestly. Who would you give this to? I didn't even think about it.

00:47:50

Speaker

but you know the sentiment was to give, like, I was getting ready to give it to somebody random and stupid, like, dude, like. Like Jordan Poole or Draymond? Nah, like, I mean, I mean, coming off the bench. Oh, come off the bench. Something stupid, like a random player, you just turn them up.

00:48:06

Speaker

I thought this game, this was dope. That was mad creative. Like Sims on the next? Bro, completely red Jericho, yeah. Some random like that. Some guy who's on a 10 day contract or something. Just that. Charles Barkley. Charles Barkley, god damn. Yeah, that guy. So yeah, who would you give the L to? Both of y'all. Who would give the L to?

00:48:32

Speaker

I agree with yours. I really don't care. I mean. Yo, that's kind of scary. Why? We agree too much. I mean, the Sixers, come on now. It's the Sixers. That's, that's a common thing. You know, you know, Gibral is going to kill us. But who else would you get out to? Everything else is competitive besides that. The Knicks and the Sixers, come on. I don't think the Suns game is going to be competitive. Why? You're tripping. You're why? Joker is going to put them to sleep.

00:49:01

Speaker

Their sons are still nice, even though they're talking shit to each other, they're still a good team. I'ma call you when Denver's winning by like 30. I'ma be off the coquito, so it's good. Like, what's up? Call me. I'll pick up. Wait, so you got it at your house. I'ma get some. Since you ain't bring me none. I'ma get some. And that guy's shut down.

00:49:25

Speaker

It ain't a blizzard for everything. It was crazy out here. Yeah, man. I'm gonna be blasting my heat. It's just a blizzard. Give it to give it the Golden State and then have Draymond and Jordan Poole fight again. That would be hilarious.

00:49:47

Speaker

Well, they're forcing them to work together now, since Curry's out. Like, he's starting. See, here we go. Triple single. One day they're going to fight on TV. That's what I said. And what better to do it on Christmas? It won't happen. You're right. It won't happen. Watch this. I never meant to be that easy. All right. I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas. Stay safe. Stay warm.

00:50:18

Speaker

We shouldn't be agreeing a lot. Hey, we going to see in this last game. I'm going to be knocked out. Who you got? Who you got? You got Denver. I got Denver women. All right, go with the sun. All right, cool. Let me hit you up on that one. We'll see. I think Denver is supposed to win, but it'd be funny if the Suns do. Yeah, Chris Paul got the.

00:50:38

Speaker

took the spirit. The sliders, all two King sliders up on that bruh. I think the Knicks are going to beat the Sixers. I think Dallas is going to beat the Lakers. I think it's going to go into overtime, but Milwaukee is going to be Boston. I think Memphis should be Golden State, and Denver is going to be Phoenix. They did not look right when they was in the Garden. So that's my predictions. Y'all got predictions or y'all good?

00:51:07

Speaker

I really just, like obviously I want the Knicks to win Dallas over the Lakers, Boston over the Bucks. That's what I, I don't know. That's what I want. I want to see a good game and I kind of want to see Boston coming on top of that.

00:51:28

Speaker

Nettleton's back, so. That's gonna be the best game. I don't even know who to choose from that one. Yo, I'll be ready to see that game. Yeah. That's the game I'm thinking. Besides our game, that's really the one. That's gonna be the game. I'm gonna be on plate three by that time, because that's five. I'm already at two plates in me. Just be like, yo, it's gonna be lit. I'm gonna watch the Nett game fully. I'm gonna be knocked out for half the Laker game. I'm gonna be full wide awake for the Bucks. Yo.

00:51:56

Speaker

Warriors turn up on the Grizzlies. Wu-Tang style? Beat them by 12 or something. Wu-Tang style? That'd be crazy if they do. That'd be very funny. Yeah, they rule from June to June. They bite immediately, if not soon. Ayy. Fuck it, I said suns over the nuggies. I got the suns when I want to. All right, I'll text both of y'all. We'll see. We'll see.

00:52:19

Speaker

We gonna ignore this dude like I usually do when I be at work. I drive for work by the way. Whatever. Hey yo man, y'all have a good Christmas man. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year's y'all. It's friends versus friends. We out. Peace.
