Travel Plans and Venue Experiences
00:00:50
Speaker
at what point do we now like people are like y'all should definitely go into a game or something like that oh yeah for sure i mean but at what point do we do that bro we're gonna be above chase bridge it's gonna be right here nah i told my wife to her face if they go to finals or something like that i don't care if it's in phoenix like i'm maxing credit cards like we are out there yeah phoenix you don't want to go to the garden
00:01:17
Speaker
So that we could go outside looking at it on Hulu. Sitting in the bathroom, I'm like, don't die. Paying $1,000 to sit in the toilet. Man, it's a square garden. I've been in the garden, like, in Utah. I mean, you know, I don't oppose going flying over to Phoenix, you know what I'm saying, going out there. Wait, time out, time
Nuggets Analysis: Murray vs. Paul
00:01:33
Speaker
out, time out. You say Phoenix.
00:01:34
Speaker
Fierce got touched inappropriately yesterday. Yeah, that game last night. Unless you do. You know? Last night. Last night. Allegedly. Allegedly. They got touched way inappropriately. And like I said before in a couple of episodes, this is when I was actually watching Nuggets. I see why they was going off. I didn't forget, but the man Jamal,
00:01:55
Speaker
Mocking ball. Ma's nice dog. Finally. He just took like four. Last time we saw him was the bubble, right? But it was crazy. I was like, yo, like, can Chris Paul not guard a point guard anymore? No, he can't. Remember they called him a parking cone. Dude, he was crazy. They were calling him a traffic cone last year. It was like sons were down 12 points in the half, came back third.
00:02:26
Speaker
Mall was just going crazy. It was turnover. It was too many turnovers for the Suns.
Suns' Depth and Streaming Shift
00:02:30
Speaker
The lack of depth. It was like a lot of times the ball, Craig was getting the ball in the corner. Like, it's just every time he was in the left or right corner after the Craig and Dade. He ain't got to lie, Craig. Moving the ball around. I'm like, why is he shooting? How come Buck or Katie's not getting it in that spot? And I'm like, well, Craig is open. I'm like, all right, cool. First pause, Dade.
00:02:51
Speaker
My brothers kept missing shots. I'm like, tag. Rebound, Joker, boom. Puts up the, he's passing it to somebody. Porter. Porter, and then Jamal's right there. Boom. Or Jamal gets the ball and rebounds, defensive rebound, boom. Three, transition. I'm like, yo, he did that three times in a row. Then he had to call timeout.
00:03:14
Speaker
Mottie's not a happy person. Aten's not grabbing boards. He was looking the whole, I was like, he was, it was one possession. He was just looking. He was like, just looking. That kills me up. The kids used to be at, when I was coaching them this past season. I'm like, what are you looking at? The score? Man, it's going to be a long series. You keep
NBA Streaming Future
00:03:32
Speaker
watching them play basketball. The Suns heard, the Suns heard that they're not going to be on cable TV no more after 2024. They were like, you know what?
00:03:40
Speaker
I wonder why bruh did that dude I understand he's trying to get back to the community like yo we want our fans to actually watch if you don't have cable but it's like that because a lot of a lot and the Knicks are doing this only reason why I know because cable my provider's not giving next
00:03:54
Speaker
A lot of teams are going into streaming and because of the whole idea of re-up for TV rights, Disney thinks it's going to be too expensive to be having them on cable because Disney owns ESPN. They all think that now since everyone is going to streaming services, they can either create their own streaming app or
00:04:19
Speaker
People are going to Hulu. You talk about teams creating their own streaming app? Why don't NBA TV just actually... Dude, they're supposed to do it. Well, I mean NBA TV can be like, you can just watch any game you want.
00:04:36
Speaker
I mean, they do do that, but it's just like not when it's on like the ESPN or ABC, they don't do that. But why don't they just be like, all right, cool. Like, you're not going to do that. I am very very confused right now. So basically, they're not going to be on TNT no more. No, they're not going to be on like on like their local. They're going to be not going to be on their local local cable. So on national games, it's not going to be on yes no more.
00:04:57
Speaker
So for Phoenix, what I'm saying? So for Phoenix, they're not going to be on like whatever their version of the yes or S and Y. They're going to be strictly on basic cable channels and then on national telefiving like TNT. But if there's anything else, it's going to be on streaming. On the on stream platforms. Yeah. I wonder how much that's going to cost. On the platforms, who knows? But for basic cable, hey, whatever it is. Can you imagine that?
00:05:27
Speaker
That's why.
Durant's Nike Deal
00:05:28
Speaker
If we were paying for this the whole time, I'm not paying $13.99 a month. I got my own searches to watch my games. I ain't going to lie to see you. The dark web. Nah, you want to know something also funny about the Suns? What's up? Robert Sarver, the former owner, would not let Bob Eggner
00:05:50
Speaker
In the door! He said no. To even dare... That guy comes in, turn him around now. But you know why, right? Because he already has like hands in Disney and everything, right? Because the whole thing when they got leaked that stuff was happening in Phoenix in the organization. Yeah. Remember ESPN owns Disney.
00:06:10
Speaker
I mean, Disney owns Eastman. They were pushing all that information out because they were getting all that information. He wanted that
Udoka's Impact on the Rockets
00:06:17
Speaker
guy out. Oh, wow. So he exposed as much as possible that information. He was blocking hard. He was behind scenes crazy with it. That's messed up.
00:06:28
Speaker
It's so, you know what? So sovereignty, sovereignty won his money. He was like, nah, forget it. You not touching the team that I got to sell because of you. Yeah. That's funny. No, you know what? I respect that. You're not getting paid off this too. Yeah. He thought he had a leak information though. That's funny. I'd be the first person, you know what I'm saying? Closing the elevator. I'd be like,
00:06:54
Speaker
That's awesome juice. Stare at him though. Awesome juice. That's that dirty business, yo. You know you're not getting that money, right? You're not. Nah, you did not. Word to God, man. One more positive thing about Phoenix. Big shout out to KD. Lifetime.
00:07:13
Speaker
That Nike deal? That's happened a lot. You said that was going to happen more often. Who's the only other two NBA players to get Nike lifetime deals? Nike? You should know. One of them is LeBron.
00:07:32
Speaker
How the one should be Michael Jordan. There you go. Oh, yeah, of course. Those are the only two. KD's the third person ever. Air Jordans are Nike sneakers. But the way
Coach Job Security in Playoffs
00:07:42
Speaker
they're actually discussing it, when it comes to priority, it's always going to be Jordan. Then it's LeBron. Then it's KD. When it comes to the shoes coming out, you could think. KD 15s look great, too. I like them. Yeah, KD's are always hard as a basketball sneaker. And then him and Kyrie,
00:07:59
Speaker
Oh, Kyrie. They have that knack for, they have the silhouettes that everybody can wear, like from youth all the way up. So they'll always have like, oh, there's the five color waves. Yeah. So it's like, oh, we need to get Braden
Jimmy Butler's Playoff Impact
00:08:14
Speaker
some basketball sneakers. So we got them the Kyrie.
00:08:19
Speaker
It's like Braden. It's like a lot of ghosts. Every kid's name nowadays is some form of Jaden, Braden, or whatever. So, Caden. So, you know, when you get Caden some sneakers they're probably gonna be Kyrie's or they're gonna be KD's. But then they have the the iller stuff that only adults can really afford. Tatum's. Yeah, Tatum's. Whoa, no.
00:08:46
Speaker
Yeah, he had a sneaker. He was mad about it. He was like, yo, that's not the color. That's that's to be honest with you. So some of these do sneakers like I'd rather wear like the what is it that that leaning like I'd rather wear. Yeah, I have some ways ways way has part of that way of weed. Yeah, I would do that.
00:09:04
Speaker
Some of them shoes are tough. Yeah. But it seems like little kids
Miami Heat Injury Concerns
00:09:08
Speaker
don't wear that. That's when you get technical, and it's like, oh, I don't really rock with, you know. And then it's like, what can fit me in what's a good company? I mean, like, they'll try these lead niggas. They probably feel good. It's got to be something. It's probably not comfortable. Because a lot of college players, a lot of NBA players wear them on the low. And you don't notice, unless you're me, who likes sneakers a lot. Shout out to you and athletics.
00:09:34
Speaker
All right, maybe check your feet. Keep it checking feet. You got a shoe desire. Sneakers. Sneakers. I was going to say shoe desire. Yo, big shout out
Basketball Sneakers and Endorsements
00:09:44
Speaker
to a coach that was not working, but now he is.
00:09:48
Speaker
Didn't apologize. Here we go. And Mr. and Meg Udoko. Oh, yeah. He got picked up by the Rockets, right? He's coaching for the Rockets. Yo. And I've been saying this person's name accidental so many times for the past couple of weeks. What? Jaylen Green. They were talking with all the prospective coaches how they felt about Jaylen Green.
Westbrook's Free Agency Speculations
00:10:09
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:10
Speaker
They were talking about possibly trading homie now. Caitlyn Gray. Dude. Yeah, because they were saying if that star player works with whatever coaches system. Yeah. Now, someone who we all thought did not like Mr. Udonko gave him a ring endorsement.
00:10:27
Speaker
Jaylen Brown. There's a brown one and there's a green one. He's been working it out now. Yeah, you know I'm tactile visual learner. I have to. Shout out to my alumni school for helping me with that.
Clippers' Injury Woes
00:10:40
Speaker
Which one? He went to like six schools.
00:10:49
Speaker
Shout out to the Kutztown University. Anyway, nah, so what they were saying is rumors has been someone by the name of Mr. Brown might be playing with his former coach, possibly. I'm not even mad at that.
00:11:04
Speaker
I'm not even mad at that. But we all thought he was mad at bruh. That's the funny thing. But the rumor is now confirmed
Phil Jackson's Criticism and Response
00:11:10
Speaker
saying he thought Yodoka was really messing him up with the whole Tatum and him. But it really wasn't. It was Brad Stevenson and the rest of the organization. All trying to kick him out. Yeah, and making Tatum be the face. When really, it's really Brown. Tatum has the appearance, but Brown has the heart and soul. Because you already know when Brown's not even shooting well, he's doing everything else possible.
00:11:34
Speaker
when Tatum's not shooting well.
00:11:36
Speaker
He done. This man said, Tatum has an appearance, but Brown has a heart, so is it because he likes him? Tatum? You don't remember all dark shows, you know? Is it because Tatum likes him? It might be. Yo, I was wondering about that, because the leader on that team is definitely Jalen Brown. I think so. Oh, it is. He get a bucket when you need it, too. I'd be like, yo, he's too dirty. He one of them dudes who plays basketball the right way. Like, if you were going to teach your kid really how to play basketball, you'd be like,
00:12:06
Speaker
That. Oh, that guy. That. I mean, his story is just dope. It's just the buildup coming out of Cal. I
Knicks-Heat Rivalry Reflections
00:12:13
Speaker
didn't even know, bro. I remember when he got I was like, who is this guy?
00:12:16
Speaker
You're supposed to know who it is. But here's another fun fact. No, I remember him. Without the beard and all that, I remember him. I didn't think he'd be that nice. He didn't have an agent. He was his own agent, which Boston didn't like. Because when you have an agent, they're doing all the small talking. He wanted to be in the know, understanding everything. Yeah. Tatum had an agent, and Tatum let all his agents do it. Yeah, but Boomer also has it that I was consulting him
00:12:41
Speaker
at least 15% of the time. And that's why he's had the success that he's had thus far. All right. A lot of deals have not gone through yet. We're still working on those. There's one culture on the hot seat and we got to talk about him. Who's hot? Who's not? Mr. Bud.
00:13:02
Speaker
Really? They lost to Miami. You're the number one seed. You shouldn't have lost. His brother died. But I was about to say, he's still in it.
Knicks vs. Heat Predictions
00:13:12
Speaker
But they said game four, his brother died. They said he was checked out. I didn't even know that. Only one person knew. Darvin Ham. Him and Butter real close. Wow. And Har was like, yo, he was going through so much that he just kept it personal.
00:13:27
Speaker
but they already said he's on the hot seat because he lost. You were the first seed and you lost to Miami. He's probably even right now still tripping. Like I saw that headline. I was like, for real? Giannis was out, that messed him up. I would say this.
00:13:43
Speaker
Hey, hold up now. Talking about that. Are we going to the first topic and blending in? Let's blend that in. That dark cloud is cleared up, boy. It's gone. You said you did a dark cloud of the ease. That's over. I didn't say that. Jimmy. I don't know why they said that. Jimmy performed. I would say this. Giannis was out, though. That's a huge factor. I don't care what anybody says. Of course. That's worse than Middleton being out, because of course, when I remember when Middleton was hurt, I was like, oh, man.
00:14:08
Speaker
It might be hard when they need him that that other piece y'all this is the main piece but the way that he just Clicked bro. It was over. They took advantage in Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy just had like he has like 90 plus points in two games like her back-to-back over 40 point games don't know you crazy Dude, he crazy this the see he's the he's the opposite
00:14:35
Speaker
of like James Harden, the opposite of book, he's the opposite. Like when things, when it gets to the playoffs, he gets activated. Yeah, he does. With buckets, which is why they call him Jimmy Buckets. That's why Jimmy Buckler, playoff Jimmy, whatever he does. When it's the playoff time, he's a different, he's a different bro. He locks in, and that's, that's, that's, this is something that concerns me just a little bit.
00:14:59
Speaker
Now we can't have nights where everybody should, oh well, we're going three for 12 today. Like you can't do that against him. You can't, we can't have that day. We need everybody to come off like on fire. I think if anything, that's gonna be like, I feel like adding the NBA world feels like, and fans feel like this is gonna be a good matchup. Everybody's excited about this, it's really dope. But we need, as Knicks fans, we need to,
00:15:27
Speaker
Pray. Injuries, man. We need to make sure, I mean... We need to sacrifice, no? Yeah. We lost Jericho Sims. He has shoulder surgery, but... We gotta stay on them boards like always, but... I don't even know who's really gonna guard Jimmy. No, I'm starting to think... I'm starting to think that Jimmy's just gonna have 40 a night. Grimes. And Grimes. 40 a night. We said that about Bob. Not 30. Nah, but we said that about Mitch.
00:15:54
Speaker
And he didn't. Hopefully, Mitch is a little bit different than Jimmy, but I'm just saying, I would say be prepared for the fact that Jimmy might actually just have 38 tonight again. 1 p.m. game tonight. What about everybody else? They don't have Tyler. But remember, Tyler could only come back because he has surgery if they get to the finals.
00:16:15
Speaker
They lost Victor Oladipo because he tore his patella to hell. I had to look away, yo. I saw him go up, and I was like, oh. I'm still not watching it. I'm not watching it. But man, I feel bad. He has lost almost every lower level. You don't talk about somebody being done. He's done. Good news, he has a player option for next year to stay with me.
00:16:34
Speaker
I hope he gets money. I hope he gets his money. But it's crazy because it's like, yo, I was like, yo, why don't they use, bro? Why don't they use, bro? They put him in, they put him in, and I was like tearing his legs up. I feel bad for him. And remember, he was another one of those dudes with the elastic, you know, jumping ability. And that's done. He may have to sing to his career. You know, he got a couple albums out. He could sing.
00:17:01
Speaker
I mean, yeah, we're in the streets, he got a little R&B in him, you know? He created himself a studio. I'm sure he has several studios, he's rich. But yeah, that's, man, that was good, man. That was, I can't wait for this matchup. The next one I would probably have to say is, yo, what about the Warriors and the Kings?
00:17:24
Speaker
Chucks are this. They messed up. They should have won game six. Oh yeah, at home? And you know they have a bad record when it comes to going and playing away. Let me on boys hoop in yo. Malik Monk? Malik? Yo, I was talking about Malik. We been having Malik Monk for a while.
00:17:44
Speaker
But now I like know that squad like really yeah, what's going on? They just they're running bro. I think their methods this year last year's Memphis
00:17:54
Speaker
Way less annoying, y'all. This series is like the advancement suspensions. There's been people getting stumped on. But not even just that. I'm saying how they are athletically and playing Memphis last year against Golden State. Oh, yeah. Young athletics is running. Yeah. Because remember, Golden State had issues with Memphis until John got hurt. But do you say it's a little bit of an insider because they coach?
00:18:17
Speaker
What, Mike Brown? Mike Brown? He's a defensive specialist, so he knows how to shut him down. Last season, where was he at?
00:18:26
Speaker
I know, I'm saying, yeah. That's how I say he got a little insider. Plus he's a defensive specialist, so he know how to shut him down. Yeah, so I'm like, he got an extra booster on that, but it's like, at the end of the day, you know, these are champs, you know what I'm saying? Not just from last year, they're champions, they've been there, so that game, this game, Sam is gonna be serious. Innocent Sacramento, it's gonna sack, it's gonna be tough. You heard what they said about Draymond, right? Nah. They want Draymond back next year. They want Draymond back? Yeah.
00:18:54
Speaker
He has a player option, but remember he wants max money. Draymon, I forgot what game it was in that series.
00:19:04
Speaker
Bruh, that man can't leave that team. He's really like, he's playing a different role now. He's coming off the bench now, but he's like, he comes off the bench, but he still plays the rest of the game after that. They got Loom grabbing 20 plus rebounds, but going back to Draymond, it's just like, yo, that dude is all, he hustles on the court. He does everything that every other player does. Yeah, that comes with it. That's the only issue. But he has a target on his back too. You can't say he don't have a target.
00:19:33
Speaker
early in his career, he did dumb things that caused him to have that target on his back. I always told you, I'd rather have Dennis Rodman over him. We've all agreed on that, but still. But you don't miss much scoring. Yeah, exactly. Remember he had his one couple of threes he did and was like, whoa.
00:19:53
Speaker
That's that's when you knew they were gonna win. Yeah when he was He didn't open three but remember also he got suspended for that one game now if there wasn't that one game We wouldn't be talking about it exactly like they said earlier when he got suspended against playing the Cavs that year 2006 think Draymond they lose today Draymond cost him another championship Championship
00:20:20
Speaker
Who do you think coming out the West? We already see Phoenix is already struggling and they got the best player the second best play in the world He might have to lose to the East But if you think about it and we got a total we want to talk about this as well someone is Channeling their inner Thanos right now, bro. Yeah. Yo, my man really is he heard Brooke like
00:20:48
Speaker
Okay. Nah, that was the funnest part. He stepped across the court to go talk to him. And Dylan Brooks actually looked kind of worried. He's actually talking to me? I didn't think he was going to step to me as I talked that much. All I was saying was that I'm not afraid. Like, no, it's okay. No, it's okay. You got it.
00:21:06
Speaker
No, it's okay. Keep talking. Yo. Last game, he dapped up Kyrie. I was like, oh, Kyrie there too? You know he got put on the show. Bron activated. Yo, he turns on no matter what though. I would say this. Bron is doing his thing. By the end of the day, AD has to step up. AD has to be the player and AD not injured. He's healthy. AD has to be what he is.
00:21:36
Speaker
It's sky's the limit for that, bro, for the Lakers, if A.D. can play with the way he plays. Bron's gonna do his thing, like we always say, Bron's gonna do what he has to do, he always does, but A.D.'s a major factor here. And Austin Reeves. Yeah, I was about to say that. Wait, is it true he's supposed to be on 2K cover, or is that a joke? That must be a joke. I hope. Do you know how much they think he's looking to get? Five years, 50 million, five years, 75.
00:22:05
Speaker
they should have paid Alice Caruso, then they wouldn't have had that problem. That was a minute ago, but yeah, you're right. I think, I don't know, Austin Reeves looks like fresh legs right now. He looks like a lot of threes. Yeah, that looks good to me. They don't make the same mistake twice. It ain't no Malik there no more, so you might as well retain that guy.
00:22:31
Speaker
especially not knowing how long Bron is going to be there. Going after this kid get drafted. In like two years? Yeah. Wherever he goes, he's going to go. I think that's dope. I don't care. I just want to see it happen. I keep telling you, I think ESPN had the mock draft. They think Bron is going to go at like 10 to Orlando.
00:22:50
Speaker
assuming Orlando gets better like they've been doing. LeBron James is Orlando. No taxes, no income state taxes. LeBron make more money. LeBron said he would never go to Orlando. Remember, he said he said that one of his on his show or something. Yo, go with Brony, go.
00:23:06
Speaker
I guess he'll have to. Brony in comes in. He'll be like, yo, push your way out of there, bro. Come on, hurry up. This ain't the NFL. This ain't the Mannings. Push your way out of there, yo. I ain't playing for the Chargers. They better hope it ain't the Mannings. Their youngest situation, Arch, is looking kind of suspect with some football stuff. Why? He not that nice?
00:23:29
Speaker
He caught me. That was the first conversation we had when we were going to work. He had to vent. Yo, it turns out against Texas and all them dudes, like a real college football team, the game is a little bit faster than like, he was bad. He was bad in his spring game. Real bad. Like, he looks like he should go to Lafayette.
00:23:57
Speaker
It looks real bad because he was doing all he was recording all those stats and in high school. Yeah against like
00:24:07
Speaker
high school players. Becca. Yeah. Like that's the team he was playing on. He's playing like Becca. He's playing like them. Yeah. And that's not the competition. Hopefully he looked crazy. Like it's that bad. He was uncomfortable in the pocket. Like it's not like I give him a season. No. No. He looks like what are you doing here. That's what he looks like. Oh look it up. It's gonna make you sad. You know.
00:24:38
Speaker
But he was doing that on dudes who wasn't really You know, it's also sad Trey Young said he's excited for the future with coach Snyder We'll be him he'll get stopped
00:24:56
Speaker
How do you feel about the NBA and fans are really upset with Miles Bridges? He had a 30 game suspension. Yeah. 20 out of the 30 has been forgiven. Yeah. And he has 10 games to deal with next season. People think it's not fair that he has that forgiven.
00:25:18
Speaker
Life ain't fair. Man, they say they did something. Life isn't fair. At least they did something. I mean, they're saying like- He didn't play the whole season. He didn't play 82 games. He ain't got no money. He ain't got no money. 30 games additionally, too. I don't care. I don't care. I'm tired of wearing out people's suspicions. Yeah. Micah. I'm gonna give you playoffs. Now, this person's out the playoffs, but I actually feel like he was at home.
00:25:45
Speaker
There was articles saying that he was in the right place. They were saying he was finally his normal self. The team used him the right way. Mr. Russell Westbrook. It's been nice seeing him hoop. Yeah, I'm going to be good for him for next season. Like it's going to be good. I think.
00:26:04
Speaker
He gonna be back on them Jersey sales as well too. Cause that's his squad right there. But he's a free agent. He should stay there. He should stay right there. I would think he'd be interested in finding a home, like a permanent home. He didn't even have to move really when he went to the Lakers. You don't have to fly in. You're good. Just.
00:26:26
Speaker
We'll work out a buyout, and you just find the next team. Yeah, that was love. I feel like if it's like that, yo, choose where you want it, bro. Go where you wanted. And they said Ty Lue should be back next season as coach. That's what's up. You saw him hit his little threes and all that. I was like, oh, bad, Russ. Russ. Just like JB Bickerstaff is supposed to be back next year for Cleveland. Man. So we can beat him again?
00:26:55
Speaker
That's not his fault. That's cool. Cleveland is like Utah. I'm just saying, we beat him. Yeah, we nice. It don't matter why. You lost. Garland, Spider, Mobley. In two years, he'll be coming to New York. He'll be a free agent then. Two years he'll come to New York. Well, we need him, y'all. I hope we're not. Well, I guess we do need the next primary score.
00:27:27
Speaker
or do you think it should always be Jaylen? I was gonna say, I don't want Spider, not for what we had to give up. I don't want him. But I don't want... Jaylen has been good the way he is. Now, does Jaylen need another legit score? Yeah, for sure. That's what I'm saying. Right now, I think it's supposed to be, theoretically, number 30.
00:27:55
Speaker
By the way, he's supposed to be questionable for tonight. I thought he said he's in there. He's questionable anyway, depending on what kind of that guy you get. He might come there and be arguing with our players. He's questionable tonight, and Beat is doubtful for game one. They said his knee injury is far worse than what people are saying. Oh, God. I actually feel bad for him and Doc at the same time.
00:28:25
Speaker
Because both of their jobs are on the line. Nah, first, and these not his job is not in jeopardy. I feel bad for the MVP and all that.
00:28:34
Speaker
Yo, for real for it is, because guess what? Joker, yeah. God, I'm tight now. And Giannis ain't getting it now. It's really good. Triple double every night, dawg. But how do you stop that? It's between them two. You see, that's why he shouldn't have got it last year. Really, we didn't get it last year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He just said he deserved it last year. The only reason he got it, not that he deserved it, the only reason he got it is because Joel was out, and Joker was there for so long,
00:29:01
Speaker
He was putting up numbers, he was the only player that was doing anything. This is why I wish he didn't get it last year. That's for literally two almost similar, like literally a rebound different. But the gig, when it comes to what we see, is that's what you see. It's a popularity contest. Joel was out when it was like, all right, neck and neck.
00:29:22
Speaker
Then when he was out, I mean with Joe, yeah, you know when he was out, it was just like Joker shine. Now it's like tag, yo. Game one again. Don't you wish, don't you wish it would come out a little bit earlier? It used to, right? That's what I thought too. That's why I was waiting for it. It's becoming a popular, no, because if I remember they used to do the award assembly like they in school, like we about to do the award. Yeah, that was lit though. The only time I liked it was when KD did his.
00:29:49
Speaker
When he did that whole speech and he cried, I was like, yo, that was dope. What, you the real MVP? Yo, real MVP. No one ever sees KD cry and it was funny because it's like KD's vibe. His mom does. His mom be talking trash too. Remember when I was talking trash to PJ Tucker or something? Yeah, last year, two years ago. You said it's basketball, not football. I'd hit him again.
00:30:18
Speaker
Do you think Boston is gonna sweep the Sixers? Or is it gonna go deep? Well, if they want to be nice, they probably do it in five, but... If Embiid is out tonight, I mean, not tonight, Embiid is out for two games, it's over. Like, they don't have no chance. I mean, even if he's there with a jacked up leg, what he gonna do? True jacked up leg. You still... He is played, like I said, he's Patrick Ewing. He is played hurt. We all have seen him play hurt.
00:30:46
Speaker
He's played hurt and been effective at times. You need to be at that elite level right now, bro. Like, I don't think he don't have no match-ups with him. Al can't match up with him. Al has knee problems for days. That's what I'm saying. Williams can't match up with him. Williams is a knee injury away. That's what I'm saying. So if he's there, like how you were saying, maybe if he's there and he can, like, play through some injuries, he's good. But if he's out, nah. Jaylen Brown goes off. Jaylen's going for third. Oh, yeah. He's going. If Tatum goes off. That's another thing. Who's guarding Tatum?
00:31:15
Speaker
Jesus. Ayo, but they got Depp. The Celtics have Depp. Who's gonna guard Brown? I don't know. Harden, don't play defense. Harden don't do anything if you're eating in the mood for it. It's gonna be different. He should be a little bit excited tonight, you know, when they play. They're gonna lose. They're gonna lose that series and it's gonna be over fast. PJ gonna have to step up. P.J. who? P.J. who?
00:31:44
Speaker
What does he do? Besides get rebounds? He don't score like that. He defends. He buys sneakers, too. Yeah. He defends. Okay, defending who? He gonna have to defend him or Brian. So that's one person. So who's gonna arrest the rest of them? I don't know. Somebody gonna have to fill in. So do you think it's five or do you think it's four? It's sweep or is it gonna be five? Like I said, maybe if Boston wants to be nice to them or something? It'd be five. Depending on...
00:32:12
Speaker
weird factors. I don't know. I just know it's going to be over fast. And I know we're probably going deep in Miami. We're going to go at least six. If we win.
00:32:23
Speaker
We got one in Miami. We got one in Miami early. But the good news is we got home field energy. Yeah, right now. And it hasn't been feeling neutral. That's what I love. The playoffs right now haven't been feeling neutral when, you know how in regular season, it's like, man, who's coming here? And they just go off on us. This guy drinking his juice.
00:32:50
Speaker
It hasn't been neutral so it's like it's been like are you it's you in the garden this the Knicks like it hasn't been like So we got a really um, we got to take advantage his home court advantage we got to take advantage of that like big time And go off these two games. We gotta go off and show him what's up. It's gotta be tough. I
00:33:14
Speaker
I think he's gone six and it can't go seven. Go seven. Jimmy, remember what happened last year in game seven for Boston with Jimmy. Jimmy lost. I don't think we can afford to go no more than six. Nah, can't. Well, hopefully he gets arrested or something before that. What is it? Who arrested him? I don't wanna say, what? NYPD, they like to arrest people. Especially Jimmy Butler.
00:33:42
Speaker
Okay. He gonna put that, the dread, the dread. I was like, it's not me. Watch where he's parking. Watch where he's parking. Yeah, we gotta, he's a threat. You know what? As like I said, the topic is the end game. LeBron has also taken a jewel from a player who, if he was healthy, he could actually be
00:34:09
Speaker
A killer, but he's not anymore. Mr. Braun has taken the legs, the heart out of Kawhi. Because my man, he is stay hurt. And I do believe, like Stephen Smith said, he gotta retire. LeBron played that clip.
00:34:29
Speaker
In the case of Kawhi Leonard, I stand alone probably on this, but I don't care. I think the man should retire. I'm sick of these injuries to Kawhi Leonard. I'm not questioning the legitimacy of them in any way. But my God, him and Paul George have played a grand total of about 22% of their games together. You got Kawhi who's religiously unavailable, okay? And then the flip side to it all is that it doesn't matter.
00:34:53
Speaker
It's not even injuries that take place before all of us. This guy dropped 38 points, one game, 31 points, another. Walk off, the court looks absolutely fine. And then Ty Lue wakes up the next morning and finds out he can't go today. And now he can't go for a game four after missing all the last season and everything else. It's just, I mean, I'm just speaking for the city of LA. I'm telling you, this is how a lot of people feel. It's just the latest, man. It's a damn shame.
00:35:18
Speaker
Certainly is frustrating in that case. Jaylen, how about it? The two significant injuries here. Well, the one thing about Kawhi, and I follow him since he was in high school. We both played for Steve Fisher, and he went to San Diego State. And the one thing I'll say about him is,
00:35:33
Speaker
If you saw him and he wasn't playing basketball, he'd be walking like an elderly man. I talked about that earlier in the year on this show. Like, he truly has some issues with his knees. This is what led to him leaving San Antonio when he felt like they misdiagnosed him. That's what ultimately made them divorce. And so for him, a three-time champion, a couple of finals MVPs, a guy that led Toronto to their only championship,
00:36:02
Speaker
There's low management, and there's a guy that's actually hurt. Look back at the tape last year in the playoffs. He out there limping. In game two, I literally was texting his coach. Like, Kawhi's out there limping. He like, I don't know if he going to finish this game. It was to me like watching a boxer go a 15 round fight and finish the fight via knockout. So I wasn't truly surprised that he didn't
00:36:34
Speaker
Sadly. Do you blame San Antonio for messing up his body? Or do you blame Kawhi for not speaking up more? Because he trusted the trainers in San Antonio, which is why I remember he wanted to leave because he believed when he got that calf injury, there was more grueling injuries
00:37:03
Speaker
that he actually had that they were making them play with. There was more to the story, but yeah. Probably should have trusted his body more, man. Like, you know, you know what I'm saying? You ran. So you know when you are like, yo, I can't do this right now. You can't just force me to do this, yo.
00:37:22
Speaker
man he really got the shorter than the stick on this like his body's like these days i mean look at lonzo like these days he's lucky to have the career he's had the chips that he's got and he got to prove i did on my own he was in toronto
00:37:42
Speaker
That seemed random at the time, but you know. He didn't want to go to Toronto. No, he didn't want to. Seemed really weird. Like, they forced his hand on that one. Championship. Championship right away. Where's my hand? All right, cool. As much as he might, you know, as people might think it's over for him now and his regrets and the things that he played through, at the end of the day, he got his rings.
00:38:08
Speaker
But what makes this so bad is like, you said you wanted to go to LA. Cool. You wanted to go home, finally. You didn't want to play with Bronn. Bronn remembered that. That's why I said you took something out of Kawhi. You didn't want to team up with LeBron. You wanted to team up with Paul George. You forced LA to go get Paul George. And you and Paul George have barely played a whole season together. Yeah. That's the thing.
00:38:32
Speaker
And the fact that the Clippers are way over the cap, they can't be signing legit team, another star, unless they do a trade. The Clippers are screwed until Paul George's contract is up and Kawhi's contract is up. You got Tyloo who, he's on borrowed time. You got a bench that's not the greatest. You got, the bench was all right. The bench is all right.
00:39:03
Speaker
remember they were like in last place, not last place, but they were in, they almost were in the, um, the play in, but Kawhi played and remember Paul George was out there. But after that, they started falling apart. Yeah. So again, you didn't have to do that. Yeah, I got you. Same with that.
00:39:21
Speaker
They quieted, and Paul Jordan got a play, and they lost to Phoenix. It's just one of those experiments that didn't work out because people's bodies betray them. I don't know. Bodies betray them. Like what else? Yo, he's... Bro, it happens. Like I always say, look at how sad it could have been, like Lonzo.
00:39:41
Speaker
he might he really might not ever play again really like seriously they said surgery he actually feels better what about pg pg like broke his leg came back and started to hoop it even though he hasn't been the same but
00:39:55
Speaker
We can say like, yo, like he came back and did something. That's what I'm saying. Look, so now he's when he when he's doing that, he's probably playing through some stuff that in five years, you know, he's going to be taking Gerritol the rest of his life. Or however you ingest that, how do you take Gerritol?
00:40:16
Speaker
Hope we don't find out at least until another 20 years.
00:40:27
Speaker
Let's be real about this. Nah, that would suck to see him go because of that though, honestly. It would suck. But- It would, but if you turn around and look back on what has happened for him, what he's done, what he's been able to make happen for himself, his legacy is good. Like, you can't really- And the fact that he's low-key, he's not really out there in social media and everything, it's just like, I'm not saying he won't be missed, but it's just like,
00:40:50
Speaker
Okay, you know man Kawhi's gone ain't you know I'm saying You're not going you we won't see we will never hear or see this guy again. Honestly. He'll just be a parent That's the thing. We will never see him again You know like some players come back or like you see them do things on social media like going to media We'll never somebody should get it somebody should dedicate like a page to following him around and just seeing what he's up to like filming pancakes Yeah
00:41:19
Speaker
Kawhi is in Utah today. Why we do not know, but he is eating pancakes right now. It's like a spotting, like, oh, we spotted him. Exactly. Oh my God. That's what they, he should be like, like, like, um, like Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves is somewhere walking dogs and stuff. People take pictures of him. He's on the train. He be giving money out. He be giving mad bread out to people. Random baseball game. Some of his, um,
00:41:42
Speaker
Movies he gets the money and no he don't even like do anything with it. He just donates it immediately Maybe he's a droid yo, it's cool guy. I Forgot one rumor, but I'm happy. It's not true yet Yeah fun fact they saying
00:42:03
Speaker
Portland might be interested in trading, Damon to Miami. It's a good thing it didn't happen, especially when we get it going. So he can act like he's mad about it, man. It's crazy. You was just getting to that point. I couldn't really feel a nigga go to Miami. For real, yo. We wish all we needed was one more piece. You know, I'm upset that we couldn't run it back.
00:42:34
Speaker
You know he's gonna do something like that. Nah, the only- Nah, he gonna do a rap. Oh, he gonna have bars. He gonna have bars. His stuff I be listening to. And then act like he's mad at the team for doing it. Like, oh man, it's gonna be about revenge. No, they did you so many favors.
00:42:53
Speaker
Now when you get knocked out the playoffs, you can go to the beach. You know what I'm saying? Like, instead of the rain in Portland. You can play with Uber, Jimmy. Come on now. Damn. Watch them argue. That's the issue. Watch them argue. Oh yeah, they probably would. That's Jimmy's team. And he would have a better coach. I like Chauncey Hall of Fame player, but he would have a better coach.
00:43:22
Speaker
transitioning from a good coach. Let's talk about what Mr. Jalen Rose had to say. Huh? Is Phil a racist? Or a hater? Jabron, if you could be so kind. Run that next clip, please. This is hurtful. You can't make this up. Hall of Fame coach and 11-time champion Phil Jackson claims
00:43:50
Speaker
to have stopped supporting the NBA because it became too political when it went into the bubble and was catering to certain audiences by putting slogans on the back of jerseys and Black Lives Matter on the floor. The same Phil Jackson that won championships with some of the greatest black athletes in the history of the game. Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant,
00:44:20
Speaker
made millions on their backs and off their sweat equity. You're sitting up watching the game with your grandkids and y'all think it's funny when justice passes the ball to equal opportunity. When somebody shows you who they are, believe them. So stop watching forever.
00:44:48
Speaker
Bro, that's saying a lot. I don't... Yo, I don't know, bro. I don't know. Yo, how we going? Yo, alright, so I want to hear someone else's music before I say anything. What's your review on the record? Nah, I can't. Well, I'll go to Carl first. What's your review, bro?
00:45:07
Speaker
He was my favorite coach. I'll just say that what you said was now so it was yeah So it was Pat Riley gets that then pop Okay, Pat Riley he was on that Kentucky team That was he gonna say that Pat Riley was on that Kentucky team way back in the day, bro He was all about
00:45:29
Speaker
that action back then so pat riley and they now feel like excuse me so what what excuse me let's hear it let's hear it cap became saved and when he actually had magic johnson kareem he put some respect so he got down when he was with the showson he got down and he got down with the nicks and he got down with lebron miami
00:45:50
Speaker
He got changed. He changed over time. He got better. He got better over time. Maybe he feels he's on the wrong street. Someone put something in his drink. Because usually he puts his own stuff in his drink.
00:46:06
Speaker
I don't know maybe I feel like this when this was coming out and everything maybe he was saying He wanted to focus on basketball not make it this Yeah, he should have clearly said that he should have clearly just said hey, let's just do this I know it's that but to say and allegations that's coming out like Dad is he it's just a question mark. It's like I need I need to hear from him. I can never like what's going on. We can never tell because I
00:46:36
Speaker
Whenever you're, I guess, non-black and you're on the outside looking in, you don't really know. So you'll have your opinions and like, you can have some that are not popular, but like it's hard to gauge because if that's just something stupid that you just said, like you said it the wrong way, or do you just not realize, like what are we doing? I actually wouldn't mind if we, if it was for us.
00:47:05
Speaker
Interviewed Phil that would be cool to get the full school. That would be cool. Like what did you mean by this? He checked out. He's like, yeah after that checked out I don't even think I think we made a standpoint around that time which was great. We did a lot we did we did a lot more than other sports did right away, but it is like Checked out like it wasn't even that
00:47:30
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? I don't think it was that big of an issue, really. I mean, because I'm black probably. Here's my thing. And, you know, we've, you know, we went to Peaburg. Yeah. You might hear some stuff, you know what I'm saying? Like some opinions, but you're not getting ready to take me off my game and my mission that, you know, I had to do.
00:47:53
Speaker
I'm not checking out, you know what I'm saying? Like, we gotta get this done. If we have an issue or something, we're gonna have to talk behind closed doors. Like, I'll talk to you, but there is no checking out. I don't, whether this dude is racist or not, I'm not sure. And at this point in my life, I don't, yeah. I don't even, I don't even think I care no more.
00:48:15
Speaker
I don't like the fact that this is my issue with Phil with this. You ain't in the media talking about basketball. You're not in the media trying to, like, help elevate it.
00:48:27
Speaker
You're shutting down something positive that players wanted to discuss out there. Because like we said, you weren't really hearing that football. You weren't hearing it in other sports. But the NBA actually let, which is 80%, almost 90%, predominantly black athletes, voice their opinion and have support. As a Hall of Fame coach,
00:48:49
Speaker
You should have been more supportive and been like, I might not have agreed with how it is because you're mixing basketball with politics. But you could have said, hey, I understand that you all are going through things that other non-Black people could ever understand. How can I help you outside of the basketball world?
00:49:10
Speaker
I only reason why I said Phil goes to three and Pop goes to two. Pop is still coaching. Pop says whatever is on his mind and he's always been an advocate. The reason why I say Riley, Riley did not have nothing negative to ever say about stuff like this. And whatever his players is needed,
00:49:31
Speaker
It's been there, no problem. Organization being up there as the president. Whatever they needed, he's done. He hasn't said anything like this out in the world. That's why I said he moved up to one to move to three. Pop, once he retires, he gets that number one title for my favorite coach. I hear what you're saying on Pop. We're back in the field, it's just like...
00:49:52
Speaker
I mean we gotta do, I mean I haven't heard it, you know, coaches have always, you know, had the mic and spoke. I haven't heard, I don't remember hearing him saying anything crazy. I don't remember him saying anything positive. We gotta do research on that and just hear that out.
00:50:08
Speaker
I don't think he's ever been a hater. I think he's everything besides now, but um, maybe he's just checked out of basketball in general Yeah, and also because of that Maybe he just has a goofy opinion and somebody who doesn't agree should just tell him hey Phil shut up facts You don't want to talk about it. Shut up. I don't think you should even nobody asked you Yeah, just shut up. I think it was just like someone just put it out there like oh we gotta put some height and
00:50:34
Speaker
That's what I would say. I would just say, hey, Phil, next time, don't do it. Shut up. You know what I'm saying? And now people, granted, we were old enough to see Phil as a coach. Our parents have been old enough to see Phil play. But now the younger generation is going to be like, this old white guy doesn't really understand what's important. But you see, that's the thing. Don, they're not even thinking about him, I don't think. No. Like you say, you don't care. We don't really care. I don't even know who he is.
00:51:07
Speaker
Jordan's old coach. That's how it is. Jordan's old basketball coach. Even Jordan is old to them. Jordan's the guy with the sneakers. There's people that these kids don't even know who Jordan is. Like, they were like, I don't even know the shoe. I don't know the player. That's wild.
00:51:22
Speaker
Yeah. But we had even pre YouTube with all the highlights and stuff like that. Like a lot of people, I don't want to say our age, but like, you know, you might have somebody five years younger than us who did not see him play. You know, they didn't see what we saw. You know what I'm saying? What do you talk about? Michael? I mean, see him in the Wizards.
00:51:45
Speaker
Yo, I'm not gonna lie, I had something from Slam Magazine, like I ripped it out, he was in an all-star game from like the Wizards, and I was like, how did he get here, yo? He's on the Wizards, this looks crazy. Like I've had to, oh man.
00:52:01
Speaker
drafted Kwame Brown. I remember I had to explain like a gap in the sneakers because if you you might not remember but for a minute there nobody was really wearing Air Jordans like that for a while.
00:52:16
Speaker
until they started retroing when I was like a sophomore and they started retroing, forwards, retroing, like aquas and playoffs and stuff like that. Before that, after 13, the Jordans started looking kind of like, what is suspect? They were looking like teams before they were named team Jordans. Just looking stupid. I wouldn't say team, but they were like doing too much. And like, if you remember,
00:52:43
Speaker
What was it? Was it 16s or 18s that he had when he was with the Wizards? It was like all white and on the bottom the midsole was just like straight blue and translucent.
00:53:00
Speaker
That will always be, listen, that will always be what Jordan's Wizards is to me. His sneakers they didn't really do that well. And it was like, why would I ever wear this anywhere but a basketball court?
00:53:13
Speaker
I wonder who has a Jordan Wizards jersey. Ugh. Somebody who got it for free. Somebody who, you know, needed something. He won a prize. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Jordan jersey. Yo, really? The Wizards like, yo, what? Which one's worse? Wearing 45 or 23 Wizards? 45 was dope? Wizards. 45 was dope? Wizards. I'd rather have his baseball jersey than his Wizards jersey. I swear.
00:53:40
Speaker
I swear to God. Okay. I like baseball jersey, so yeah. I'd rather have Sharif Abdul Raheem. I did have that jersey. For real? You did? Yeah, I got a really cheap jersey. You don't remember that? Remember I peeled the numbers off?
00:53:57
Speaker
That was Serif Abdul Rahim. We used to buy some cheap swingman jerseys during the throwback era. Y'all remember that? I did. We had a swingman. You got the game? Do I have a game? Of course. Of course. The green juice got you flowing? Yeah. I mean, we have to have a discussion. It is Sunday. It is.
00:54:32
Speaker
All-time great intro. Yo, remember Mr. Goosay? Wise Mr. Gould. He said, if you ever see me in the woods fighting with a grizzly bear, help the bear.
00:54:54
Speaker
Somebody activated LeBron and he had, you know, somebody likes to poke bears, you know what I'm saying? LeBron ended up pushing his hairline back a little bit. Dylan Brooks, he talked to him before one of the games. He got scared. Yo, for me, I love when somebody who is annoying gets their comeuppance. So help the bear. I love it, like,
00:55:23
Speaker
V, I think maybe there's an age gap, like a generation gap between us and like the Grizzlies. Is it me or were the Grizzlies really annoying? That little cousin. I think they are really annoying.
00:55:38
Speaker
And it's goofy because Dylan Brooks can do what he does, and he wants to play the villain role, but he's a punk, because he runs away. Get him to talk to the media now. He wanted to talk to him before geek. He poked the bear, LeBron talked to him, and scared him away, and then beat him. Really beat him. What are some of y'all's favorite moments where somebody poked the bear, and they had to help the bear?
00:56:08
Speaker
Like, just for example, they were talking about how one day Vernon Maxwell, old Vernon Maxwell had to climb up the steps. Years before Malice and the Palace had to walk up the steps, and when he got up there to the fan he was talking to, he didn't talk to him, he punched this man, it looked like a gunshot. Yo, they said that was wild, I've been ready. Punch them real quick, you know what I'm saying? Like, I love when people get theirs at the, and look, they let it rock, because it was like the 80s.
00:56:37
Speaker
Yeah, they did. Nothing happened to this guy. He punched him in his face, and I know it hurt too. And he doesn't get sued or anything. That guy that he punched could technically probably- He probably got called the n-word, but you know what I'm saying? He rocked him. What are some of y'all favorite moments where somebody played the game and the other person just responded and trashed him? We have a couple just with LeBron.
00:57:01
Speaker
I got one. It's involving LeBron. I don't even know how true this rumor is. So it was the heat versus the Mavericks that match up. They say cough.
00:57:14
Speaker
I don't know if it was the call. It was two allegations that happened. They were talking about Dirk. They were talking dirty about Dirk. And they were talking dirty about my boy. What's the ball? The short point guard that came out. I wouldn't say his wrong name. J.J. Barrera. They were talking about bruh. They said, they were talking dirty about Dirk. Like, yeah, Dirk's like, you know, he's not that guy. And J.J. Barrera came by, was trying to talk to him or something. And they didn't even talk to him. He was like, all right.
00:57:42
Speaker
Why JJ whooped that ass though? JJ put in work. He did become a problem that serious. He was an issue. And of course, my boy, Dirk.
00:57:52
Speaker
put in that work. So I would say that's my one, because I didn't even know about that. I just thought it was bad play. And then when it came out afterwards, they won. They were like, yo, they were talking dirty about Dirk. And they told JJ to go away. Yeah, then they were talking about JJ. I was like, well, yeah, they stepped up. And that was the time when right before that, Bronz said, are we going to go all the way?
00:58:14
Speaker
Just be gon' get four in a row. Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but six. So they put the wrong one. They put the wrong one on that one. That's mine, wish you got that. Man, Lance Stevenson. Oh. My man did what he did. I know. And LeBron just did the smile like the Joker and put in work. Yeah, like why do you do that? We had that antics.
00:58:40
Speaker
You talk about just him blowing in his ear, right? He blew his ear. And I'm pretty sure Indiana was up. They were. They were up by a couple points. That was a great, great, great series, yo. We should have been in that series. The East was real crazy there, too. We should have won that series because we lost to them. Yeah, we did. We did. But when Lance blew in that ear,
00:59:03
Speaker
and everyone on TV saw that and saw a bronze smile. It was a crazy close-up too. Yeah, I was like, yo, I feel like that was almost done on purpose. Like, Lance saw the TV, the camera, and it was like...
00:59:17
Speaker
And Bron just, I don't even know if someone's eating it. He's such an idiot, yeah, because he dust the fuck out. That was so weird. But you know that ruin Lance's career after that? Lance make him dance. Lance was never the same. Well, I don't even know. I think Lance is just somebody who, yeah, he just balls, and he does, he pisses people off. Remember, they thought he was gonna be the next person out of Brooklyn. Oh, yeah. And then he went to Cincinnati.
00:59:45
Speaker
because it was Marbury, then it was South Fair, then it was supposed to be Lance. I used to love Bassey, yo. The fire baby. Nick Vane, that was a tough documentary. For now, I was thinking about... Oh yeah, who's yours? Who's you got? Well, I already said, wait, no, I didn't. You gave it an example. You gave it an example. You gotta give us one now. I'm gonna take it back. We going to Boston, yo. Was he in Boston? Yeah, this is when Antoine Walker was still in Boston.
01:00:14
Speaker
He was pissed one day. He just turned around and threw the ball at one dude. It rocked him. The ball flew up in the air. And then when they talked to you, they was like, oh no, you gotta go. He got ejected from the game. He was in a locker when they were talking to me. It's like, that dude's been heckling me for years. Just got tired of it.
01:00:39
Speaker
Yo, he blew him up with that ball too. He threw that ball with Matt, like he was pissed. Then you got like, oh, but one of my, now it's high school and I hate that it's this person, but this is one of the all-time best examples of this.
01:00:57
Speaker
Why? Every time, you know what I'm saying? Somebody, some player is ranked or something. Even the women do this. Like even when women are ranked and they go to some high school and you hear about them, the crowd always has to say, overrated. Why are you doing that to these dogs? No one's overrated game was better than Trey.
01:01:23
Speaker
Look it up. No. Look it up. Oh, in high school? Yeah. That's when he first started bowing down to the crowd. Like, Oh, thank you. That was amazing. You know, that was amazing. He did it so chill. And he had to shut him. He had like 45. You watch this. So they're, they're hype, right? I think they're on the right hand side of that video. They're like going crazy. And then he put us in working at the end. All you see is the same folks like this. Like,
01:01:49
Speaker
Yeah, shut up. Why didn't you think that was gonna happen? Stop saying overrated to these dogs and these dudes who are killers. Stop doing that. But it just makes for some of the greatest, I was watching, even like Shareef Cooper had a really crazy game like that and it was kind of overrated and he was like,
01:02:13
Speaker
Well, now here comes 50. You know what I'm saying? Stop doing that to people. But nobody was smoother than Trace. He did that. His facial expression never changed. And then when he hit, he was the one who hit the final shot. And then he turned to the crowd, gave him a bow. That's his origin story. That's the way he is now. That's his origin story. You, you, you, and you go home.
01:02:42
Speaker
And everybody had to go home and shut up, yeah. With their excuses, like, whoa, man, they got away with so much traffic. No, no, not that. You know what I'm saying? You just lost the game. That's it. Help the bear. That's all I'm talking about. Help him. I like that one. That was good. That was good. 1 PM next tonight. I'm watching.
01:03:05
Speaker
Game seven. We get the decision right now. We get the decision. Isn't this the only game on today? No, it's not. Sacramento Kings. Oh, yeah, because we didn't know that was going to go so good. Yeah, you're right. Oh, god. It's not at the same time, is it? No. All right, I'm about to say. That's going to be later. Who wins Sacramento? Yeah, that's tough. I actually kind of hope Sac does it.
01:03:28
Speaker
Oh, I hope that does it. You hope they do. I hope they do. Shake that up. I will say I'll be surprised if they win. But then again, I just know that Curry going for three years messed up. I was I'm going to go with the continuous of that's a veteran team has been there. I'm going with the Warriors.
01:03:49
Speaker
That's why it would be so much doper if Sack actually. It will be, it would be, it would be, but I'm just, I'm going with the words of my gut telling me. Barkley's going like, he thinks it's going to be the Kings. It's going to be hard to win there. Sacktown's going to do it. Curry's going for 30. Trey's, I mean Thompson's going for 25. Poole's going for 25. And they're going to win.
01:04:15
Speaker
You're a liar. Cool. Nix versus Heat. First question before we end this. Who wins game one tonight? Nix. How many fights are going to happen after this? Hopefully two. Yeah, I think. Who's getting ejected first? Randall.
01:04:41
Speaker
Yeah, BAM doesn't even get excited like that but he'll be getting kicked out though cause I think it's in New York so I'm thinking maybe Jimmy say the wrong words.
01:04:55
Speaker
Jimmy get injected in the third quarter. I hope so. I hope so. Maybe he'll miss like a game or something. He gonna be in our heads, bro. He gonna be in our heads. For people who don't know, not in 90s, the Knicks and the Heat have had too many fights. There's been like seven altercations or seven issues. The first issue that ever happened was when Pat Riley secretly left to go to Miami. There was a tampering rule. There was a tampering rumor. Oh, that was secret? Yeah. Oh, wow. But here was the fun fact. Yeah.
01:05:26
Speaker
Pat wanted ownership of the Knicks. He wanted a small share. Oh, you know. Well, that wasn't going to happen. Miami said, we'll give you that. And then he didn't tell the Knicks. He was like, OK, good. Signed the deal. Then he told the Knicks he was leaving. So then Miami had to give up $1 million plus a first round pick.
01:05:46
Speaker
The other issues have been, you know, we got into the fight. Charlie Ward and PJ Brown got into that. So you already know there's been fights there. Then there was another fight the following year that cost us. We were up 3-1 and then we lost that series. Then Martin Luther King Day, when Jeff Van Gunny got
01:06:05
Speaker
trampled. Oh, yeah. And then why would you be in the middle of because he said he said he was trying to save his players. He was he was holding on, bro. Like, don't do it. Don't do it. The issue. You got to have another player. Go get him. Please go get him. Go get myself. Please. No, I'm not getting I'm not getting in the middle of two giant professional. And that's me saying that.
01:06:32
Speaker
You're not getting ready to fall on me. Are you crazy at that age? And then there was a Maristatamar being dumb when he got mad and he cut up his hand. I forgot about that. The fire hydrant. And then it was like two other petty ones. Oh, then Maristatamar stuck his hand out.
01:06:47
Speaker
Uh, for Shane. And he was like, uh, can't touch this thing. Oh, when he was trying to get up. Yeah, but then he was a jerk and then punched his, punched his hand on the fire. Yeah. Whatever. So hopefully we see another fight. This is going to be, it's a good matchup. It was good. And it's, it's really, it's well connected as in like,
01:07:08
Speaker
Jimmy Jimmy's old coach Tibbs Tibbs has history with the Knicks Bronson has history with the Knicks like his dad in him, you know, it's awful. It's a lot of full-circle stuff going on So it's it's very interesting and maybe this is when we should use that credit card things I really like Miami the city of Miami. Yeah, maybe I'll go down there and see a game and
01:07:33
Speaker
Go down check it on assignment Strictly business, you know saying send us home. I know it's friends versus friends rap. Peace. Peace. We out
