feet Nation was good. I'm also hearing my brother Kesey was good. Good

Side note, Game Show battle Room. If you ever looking for something
to do with your family or your friends, it's a spot in Brookfield called
Game Show battle Room where you can do like family few will of fortune prices
right. They changed the name, of course, because they don't want to
get sued. But for competitive people such as yourselves, it would be freaking
hilarious. So I did that yesterday with some people and it was dope.
Man. It was a topic. Uh well, I would have a stat
so I lost everything else. But no, uh so the survey gam It
was like, uh, Will Smith Top Movies or name Will Smith movies.
Uh. There was another one called Michael Jackson's Greatest Hits, and there was
a couple of other things and then it was a dope it was. It
was a dope concept. So check it out if you're ever looking. And
I say that because people always like walking. You don't have nothing to do,
right, and once you age out of the club scene, you're always
looking for something different than unique. So that was really dope. Every time
I say that, somebody be getting on me like it, do you just
do me looking and low key that's true. Low key that's true. I
will say I don't look for a lot of stuff to do in my city,
which is that I should do, but I just don't have the time
to be looking around for It's called gang show battle rooms, are you talk
about. You can get a room and then y'all can do whatever game y'all
want to do. No, so you get it's called gang show battleroom.
So you get in the room. That's what I'm saying. You can rent
out a room, y'all can do whatever y'all want to win a room Nope,
and you play like a game show simulation. So there's an actual host,
so you play surveys, you play who's the host, whoever works for
them? It's a random host. Okay, so it's a simulation like you're
on a game show. It's it's really dope. We should we should check
it out one day. But definitely if you look for something to do with
your family. Is family friendly. Uh, it's not super expensive, but
again, like you said, you gotta look for stuff, especially when you
age out. The I have friends that come here all the time. I'm
going to do hookah. I said, Well, let me know what you
done. I can up a Bucks game with you. We can go go
to a sports bar, we can go golf, and we could even go
to the Fake Top Golf and Franklin and the Cole. But Dre and Clubs
aged out a long time ago, so I'm good. So check that out.
All right, thanks for thanks for the thing, I mean day and
paying this, but thank you for the shutting the mount. This is all
Star weekend, so we're gonna skip injury for it and get straight into don't
want to say the mess. We're gonna get straight into it though, Uh,
straight straight to the shoot around. Yeah, real, shoot around really
quickly, I said, really quickly, but starting to start us off.
PJ. Tucker was five seventy five thousand dollars for publicly expressing his desire to
be traded to another team. The question I'm posing to the table is should
players keep their mouth closed if they're feel they're not being used right and express
and express themselves or just kind of keep it to themselves and just let it
be. Because I feel like this. I brought this to the table just
because with PJ. Tucker, he got traded from Philadelphia where he was getting
used somewhat to Los Angeles Clippers, where he was he's not getting used at
all. He's actually took a leave from the team and he'll be playing again
at All Star Break. But I don't think I don't see him getting into
the rotation. So what do you guys think about that? So? Right,
so or left? So I'm gonna say this, when did players not
ever do it? I think he repeatedly did it? I mean Carmelo Anthony
did it? He? No, Okay, I when we say this,
people have done it in the past, and we know they wanted to leave,
but they very rarely that a player comes out like, hey, I
want to get up out of here. Somebody picked me up. So it's
one thing to be like, hey, I'm the fake being happy around it.
But I think he just came out and blatantly said I want to get
up out of here. So I think players have done it with a little
more tactfulness, and like the world, I think PJ. Tucker lacked some
tactfulness in his decision. I go back to how I hated how Carmelo Anthony
left the Denver Nuggets, the temper tantrums that he was throwing, not showing
up to gains, faking injuries on the court. He made it very clear
that he wanted out now Jokers wearing his number and delivered the championship or now
Mellow's number will never be retired with that organization. However, that's not the
topic in hand, PJ. Tucker. Unfortunately, at this point in your
career, you are a level, a low level veteran minimum player. You
should just be happy to still be employed in the NBA's hold on them.
It's true, it's true. It's true. At one point I heard rumors
of a buyout and at the Bucks were considering him. You got traded to
the Clippers. Okay, you were geeked in the beginning. How much click
did you think you was gonna have with James Harden, Paul George Kawhi,
Lennard Russell Westbrook and a bunch of other players who are better than you off
the bench. So I'm gonna in here and I'm gonna pass to my brother
Keasey. They should not keep their mouth closed. But that's why you have
an agent. Have some tactfulness in what you do, because this is behavior
that's destrimental to the team. Right now, the Clippers are the favorites to
win the world time. Not for me, but in a lot of sports
circles, the Los Angeles Clippers are the favorites. And so PJ. Tucker
now opening up his mouth like he could really help a championship win something.
I don't think PJ has that anymore. I don't see that anymore. I've
watched PJ all season. Since he's left the Bucks, he has not been
the same. PJ. Tucker said what I said, Uh, be respectful
of the game, be respectful of your teammates. Make your wishes known.
But some things are fine done in private. And that's just the bottom line,
keeth. I feel he's entitled to say whatever he wants to say.
I am sick of the league. They can penalize people for speaking out.
I thought America was the freedom of speech right now, when you got a
job and you signed contracts with clauses that you need to behave, that you
want that. He is behavior just because he said he don't want to play
there anymore. James hard on all these shenanigans over the last five seasons,
and he ain't not one word he did. He did not go ahead,
finish, finished, but he didn't say a word. He got his actions.
His actions was worse. His actions was worse than him saying anything.
If you look at the situation, his actions were way worse than saying anything.
If he did a lot of closed door stuff, which I think fans
pay their money to want to know what's going on, right, because who's
paying their salaries? We ain't not the fans, the ticket sales barely barely
barely, the city taxes, Yeah that's true, that's true. Who paying
those salaries? The city taxes? Who buying those jerseyss? All the people
who want to know paying something, Yeah, we're paying them for them seats.
What about the ones who don't go to the game but buy jersey every
year. See, that's on your own personal thing. So I'm saying that
much that money's not going directly. And then they tried to they hit him
with seventy five thousand. He ain't Lebron James exactly. You just no,
no, no, cac just ended his own story. Whoa, whoa,
whoa, You ain't who so you don't have the influence to be out here,
just shown Hold on second number one. He made thirty three a year,
number two, nine year. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, not thirty
three years he got he can he got paid this year. He got paid.
Yes, if that my thing is this? My thing? My thing
is this? Well an I'll say this because y'all be acting like guys like
uh, the guys like PJ. Tucker, uh, Patrick Beverly, These
guys who may not necessarily stack up in statistically, they may not stack up
with Lebron James and Russell rust Brook, but they still should have. They're
still in the rotation, and they're in there for a reason. And as
much as Lebron James, I'll use the magazine because you use him. As
much as Lebron James brings value to this team, he can't do it by
hisself. We've seen that numbers numerous of times. So guys like Tristan Thompson,
guys like PJ. Tucker, guys like Patrick Beverly, they do other
things that brings something to this team that can get you to a championship.
When PJ. Tucker was in the rotation, Beverly, Patrick Beverly, Yeah,
Patrick Beverley. When these guys, well, I'll said this with PJ.
Tucker, when he was in the rotation in Milwaukee, he wasn't averaging
twenty two and ten. He was averaging two or three of points a game,
maybe seven rebounds, maybe three or four assists. But that type of
stuff. He brought tenacity to the team that we call them dogs. He
brought that to the team. So when they y'all talk about just because you're
pretty much tell a shut up and play basketball, be looking your team,
I don't think that's what the NBA was just saying, shut up, play
basketball, let us. But the NBA was saying, PJ. Don't,
you're making too much noise. That's what people, that's what the NBA is
saying you make it too much noise here seventy five grand shut up, But
they not saying if you cause the thing about PJ players like PJ Tucker,
they can't put on a fat suit and then walk around because we're not gonna
we ain't gonna pay attention to that man, look out of shame. We
don't care about that. We care about James harden to be out to say,
because he's the main focus of a team. But I just hate the
fact that both of youall points was you don't really bring nothing to this team.
So this shut up and fall back. I did not say shut up
and fall back. You didn't shut up and shut up, and you said
you shouldn't be making too much noise and be lucky on the team. I
said that what I said, So that's what That's not what I said.
That's what you're said, And what was your incentive? The word is you
should have said that's what you would sinuated? Right, I get nothing I'm
talking about A centis nothing out I'm talking about PJ. So but what did
you what were you saying that? What I was saying was you should have
some tactfulness behind what your But you also said. He shouldn't have said it.
He shouldn't up. He's out the rotation. Well, to take it
up with your coach. And my thing is this, Guys like that need
to be in a rotation, so when they're not, they need to say
something because they could be in the G League next week. Get up with
your coach. You think they won't say tucking to the league's he been in
the league too long? They won't send him to the league. Okay,
okay, he came from the G League. Why I wouldn't send them back.
I'm gonna take like this, PJ. Tucker, thank you for all.
He'll retire before you go back to the G League. I know he
needed, you know, he needed he needs this check. You see he
quiet since that seventy five thousand five and had nothing to say after that.
Yeah, because they sent them home. Okay, he J. Tucker's actions
were destrimental to his team. Bottom line. I'm all about you wanting to
go, but at this point in your career, be as good as you
can in practice, be as good playing the nasist role because you're on the
verge of possibly winning a second championship. Don't be destrimental to your team,
Because now that PJ said what he said, guess what the new reports are.
They're Lincoln Paul George back to the Pacers. So now it has all
eyes on the Clippers again for a negative way, and they've already had to
deal with the James Harden fallout. So maybe that's what the Clippers wanted.
I don't think you need that distraction on your team. PJ is can still
be a veteran player on a team, but when he says he wants to
have a role, he doesn't have big roles anymore. In Philly, did
you forget? Did you forget? He was traded to them, and he
didn't have a choice in that trade. I don't think he would have went
to Clippers knowing their bench and their rotation and high with But what I'm saying
is in Philly he didn't have a role. He was a rotation guy.
He was pre rotation. Barely play, barely held. He didn't even start
like fifteen twenty minutes a game, barely fifteen. That's all he looking for,
it, that's all he's looking for. He did not play that much.
He did not play that much. But he did not But to narrowly
all down at the end of the day, PJ presidence on the court is
very valuable to any roster. They just chose, They just chose not to
go with him at all and just let him sit, which is a problem.
If I'm him, I got the same problem. I mean, I
think I have the same problem too, if I'm PJ Tucker, I mean,
I guess my question, like I said before, is about other guys
who aren't she had he's been been penalized for speaking his mind. I guess
if you did not follow the Players Association agreement. Yes, finds are fines,
So how does that find work? Did they pay that all at one
time or did they take it out of the check it out? They check
out their check, the whole check, the whole check. So if it's
check is let's say three point five, they're gonna take seventy five kouts penalty.
Did they get paid per game they play? They get a check or
direct deposit every day from what I from what I've been told, so from
how I've been educated, they get weekly pay. So it's no. Here's
why that's not true. They get bi weekly paid for basketball, I mean
for basketball because the season is only eight months so they break it down from
what I was told from the people close to the game, because you got
insid that's not what I'm saying. The reason that they're paid every day is
because they're taxed in the city that they play. So you can't get paid
weekly. Oh you said they get paid every day. They get paid every
time they play a game because they're taxed in every state that they play.
So how you gonna pay me by weekly? What are you gonna have on
there, Wisconsin tax tex I heard both. What they do is you'll get
a lot of per game you play. So let's just say you have some
games in two weeks. So from an insider, the game you play,
you'll get tax based on that game that you'll get. So the NBA players
get paid bi weekly during the NBA season, figured twenty four checks a year,
twice a month first and fifteen kind of like my fellow state employees.
And then on top of that, they like well football players different. So
so nevertheless, how much does PJ make a year? What is Pj's contract?
You know, Drake will get in there. You want to brought it
up thirty three million, So PJ. Tucker makes eleven million dollars a year.
I was just gonna say that. I'm just gonna say that PJ average
twenty two minutes for the season. Okay, so minutes a game divided by
twenty four, PJ gets about four hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars a check.
Okay, that's that's not before taxes. He can take that seventy five
here of course. Again. So here's the thing, casey, I know
you feeling like seventy five to one check Again, we're speaking like people who
don't have millions of dollars. Okay, we're business. Think about us,
all think about us like if we ever get a speeding ticket or a hospital
bill. We like, y'all want this all at once, you know what
I'm saying. We try to spread out if we go under, if we
go buy some shoes, we just be like, all right, two hundred
whatever. No, because some of y'all use after pay. That's wild speak.
No I'm talking. No, let me stop. I mean like that.
I't mean like that. So I ain't mean like that. And that's
the one one number two after pay, do come in clutch shout after pay.
But I'm just saying, first of all, dre don't do that.
Beep yourself out tone. No, My thing is I said that because Nike
they real, they're real funny about that. Nike funny about it. If
anybody ever that's funny. After anything, I'm not not connected. Some people
need it. But we are creating, not trans You take what so so,
tone, we can after pay you next month. Okay, then okay,
I was but I take it all I'm saying because we are continuing to
develop habits to encourage people's poor spending for craft they don't eat but little bit
since when I brought it up a little bit, how that does or if
you're up spending it does just at the at the end of the day,
I get it even if but just think of it like this, Even if
they make let's say twenty million, they're only getting paid ten million of that
after taxes to eat all of that up ten millions, but over twenty four
payments, are you really that's five hundred thousand? Are you really got sent
five thousands of that are right now? The Jackson State hoodie? Where did
you get the Jackson State hoodie from? Oh? Did you get that from
that HPCU website? Yeah, this is HP. It was on the HBCU
website, not support black colleges, but uh, support black college you get
from support black colleges. Yeah, I thought support black college was exclusive to
try to support black colleges, although I don't think that's from there because support
black colleges is exclusive to their own brand. Hey, thank you, you
had no problem? Now you good? You good, Thanks for listening,
thanks for watching support. Appreciate you, Kristal, you appreciate that. My
thing about that, But like I said before, this is just not for
peace. Say, this is just I'm talking about for everybody. This is
because this is something that affects other players too. But I think PJ left
Philly thinking he's gonna be in the rotation in Los Angeles and if he if
he could veto the trade, he would have, but unfortunately he couldn't.
So next topic. Uh, like I said before, this weekend was All
Star weekend Friday and Saturday. Starting with Friday that did this celebrity basketball game
results? Did you guys check out any of these stuff on Friday and Saturday?
Ask that. First of all, i'mna be honest with you. I
don't have cable, so I have zero desire to even see the aust There
was nothing appealing to me about it. Maybe you should try after bank.
Well, I don't have cable because because I can't afford what, I'm not
gonna say. I'm not gonna say what I'm gonna say. I'm not gonna
say what I want to say. Could your cheap? That's why you ain't
got it cheap? Because I'm never no, could you're cheap? I have
NBA League passed, so how am I cheap? Number? Because a season
tickets? So I'm not cheating. Here we go. You brought it up.
You brought it. They had the cable, dray, No, I'm
not holing up. What what? So you didn't see so because you are?
You didn't see Friday or Saturday. I didn't see any of them.
But let's be honest with you. The hype around the All Star Game is
kind of way. Here we go, right or wrong. I actually watched
it this year. I watched it a couple of years since I've been home
to get a chance to watch it. Well, first of all, let
me just say this real quick. NBA. I need you all to do
something about this because every Valentine's Day weekend y'all got the All Star weekend.
So I'm trying to have dinner while watch this, and you know I'm being

a choice, which is you know, I live on Wednesday. Back to
what you were saying, though, but most people celebrated weekend after Don't do

Don't do that. Don't do that. I'm being that guy. Don't

they celebrate the Saturday before. I've heard both. So I've talked to people
who celebrated the weekend before and it was I was like, oh, you

people on the air can hear what you're reading care Regarding how to partake an
all star Valentine's Day weekend from a listener, Crystal easy Fixed, let your
make know that you are attending All Star Weekend. You just watch it,
so this really be easy for you. Attended All Star Weekend would be an
awesome Valentinee Day gift. While they're set her up with a self care package.

That is a good compromise. I don't think it's gonna pay. I
think well again, First of all, just thin attending. You're talking about
watching, bro, You're talking about watching what you could have tut time talking
about. Temme me. First of all, if I was attending, got
nothing coming you're talking about I'm all Start weekend. I see what I see
you get back, Let's bring it back. I see you when I see
you really quick there, really quickly talking about All Star Weekend the Bucks put
in for twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven, which they would did no
wish. They shouldn't even have to do. Here's no next to All Star
games, they'll be in California. Really well, you gotta remember Milwaukee has
a hotel problem. But with the d n C we fixed that. Well,
it is being fixed. With the RNC coming in a couple of months,
we're adding I think they said Milwaukee is adding over one thousand new rooms
between downtown and other areas. So now that the Bucks don't have a hotel
problem, we should get So you said we didn't get it the first night.
We had a hotel problem. That's that's the NBA was clear about it.
And where and we're an hour away from Illinois. Why the NBA was
clear about that. We we okay, we had an I don't know,
it's not the d n C wasn't considering Milwaukee because we had a hotel problem.
But we got it. Shout out to the then governor and then mayor
who made that work. Same with the Republican National Convention. No matter what
side you're on, you want these things in your city because of economic revenue.
People who hate basketball want the All Star Game because of the revenue for
the businesses. Come on, man, I've never had a chance to actually
go to the All Star Game. I hope to do it when it's in
a warmer climate, Like I'm not going nowhere cold, Like I'm not leaving
Wisconsin to go to Indiana. They had a snowstorm Indiana. That's what I'm
saying, Like, I'm not doing that. I'm remember one, I agree
with you. Number two is just the fact that I just feel like because
they in the mid with they did Chicago not too long ago, they did
Indiana. We should have been next up, just to get it out the
way. But you also remember the Bucks Arena, although new, it is
one of the most it doesn't hold a lot we host. It's one of
the smallest stadium. Yeah lot it is. We don't hold a lot.
We only hold it actually holds less than the Bradley Center thirty. It's like
seventeen thousand, seventeen. It's like seventeen thousand. It's that lows like twenty
maybe eighteen. It is not it's like twenty something twenty what who thirty I
don't know what Bradley, but the if izer from holes like seventeen or eighteen
thousand, you know us. I'm just saying attention. You pay attention in
your money. What about you? Did you watch the games? What you
think I watched everything? You think, Well, I'll say this celebrity basketball
game I did not watch because seventeen thousand and five hundred that's hilarious. Well,
no, I didn't watch it because I ain't gonna hold you. I
was looking at the list of people, the celebrities in there. I was
like, who is that? Who is that? It was too many?
Who's is that? I did whole seventeen thousand, five hundred people? That's
crazy? And then what else? I said? The only reason I was
gonna watch it because of Kai And then I see he ain't getting no no
ticking, wasn't getting the ball. So I kind of like tuned out Bradley
center. Hell, who is that? He a streamer? They're talking about
the thousand people? Who is due? I mean, like a streamer,
So one of the best streamers in the world. What do you mean he's
one of the most famous streamers in the world. Like video streamers don't show
your age. Why why is he so famous though? What makes you stream?
Because the kids? The kids love him? Why the kids love him?
What did he do in his stream? I be watching watching them.
They will never get into I don't know. I don't know. I did
see all. I didn't see a highlight where he had NICKI Minaj on there
one time. Yeah, he had a whole bunch of famous people in there.
But the point is this though, like open front room. But uh,
but my think about that, Like I said, I was trying to
I was watching for that reason. Whatever se he's gonna get see if he's
gonna get the rot. He did not, And then so I stopted with
I don't want I ain't really watch that. But I watched the Rising Stars
Tournament a little bit. I watched Jalen Brown doing the dut context. Well,
I didn't really get we're talking about all over the place. I'm gonna
say, because nobody care about the celebrity. I'm just seeing what I watched.
Go ahead, it's too late. Can you go back? Bro,
you talked about Valentine's Day for like ten minutes. Well, y'all brought it
up. You brought it up, Crystal brought it up. I moved on
and then she came me a solution, Crystal, thank you for watching the
man uh and the other people that are so okay. So that was That
was Friday. That was Friday. Saturday, you no. Friday ended with
the NBA Skills Challenge. Keisa, did you see the skills Challenge? I
did. How did you feel about the Skills Challenge? I like it every
year? Uh to this year? To me, I have a question about
that because I did really quickly. I feel like, to me, the
competitiveness, that's the word. I know, you're going whatever. I feel
like it's non existent, I'm gonna say. And then with watching this Skills
Challenge, I think Indiana took pride in it just because they were in the
home state, which you should, and that's why they want because these other
dudes they went the wrong way. You got the referee call go back to
this other way. No, you're going the wrong way again. I'm like,
how did you not? It was just a I just feel like,
yeah, they just I watched it, but I don't think I really paid
attention to to all of that. I just think it was just a part
of All Star Weekend. It's just something to kill some time. Okay,
we got before you say that, you know how like you played beer pong
all night before. Never played it either, I've never even though I went
to Whitewater, I've never played. Oh, you were busy doing things anyway.
Anyway, So let me say this. Let me say this about what
I saw. Here's why to me, the All Star Game and weekend is
a joke. I saw Anthony Edwards in the Skills Challenge shooting backwards shots.
M hm. So it's like you're not even trying to win, You're not
even trying to make it competitive. It has never been really that competitive in
the Skills Challenge. It was it was just easy for him. I think
Steph Curry is you know, I honestly think veterans taken a little bit more
serious than the younger guys. Yeah. I honestly think Steph Curry is a
little more of a higher caliber athlete than them. So the thing is that
they did in the Skill Challenge was a little bit more easier for him.
He even said he was gonna shoot left handed. No, I'm sorry that
word shot left handed during the Skills Challenge and Stephan and barn shot backward shots.
So you got these new guys in the All Star Game and it's not
even taking it serious. So how do we as fans like, come on,
y'all and we're basketball, but it's the skills challenge basketball? Are you
going Friday night to the All Star weekend? If it's in the city,
I'm gonna do everything. It comes in the package. You show up,
Like when I go to NBA Summer League, I go to you know,
gonna go to all the games, Gonna go to the US game because it's
a part of the package. But I'm not investing, like, oh my
god, I gotta be home Friday night to watch this. Yeah, it
used to be. It used to be for the dunk Contest and the three
point Contest. It used to be I uh okay, well moving forward to
that Saturday was so Damian Lillard one goes back to back as three point contest
winner. The three point Contest to me, is starting to be the most
popular thing. And I always watched it every single the year. You know.
To me, it used to be a dunk contest. I used to
skip the three point Contest to watch it. Even when they was in it.
I was like, I don't care about this, so again, the
talent was better back then too, so you had to watch both right when
Jordan and them had the All Star Even when I'm gonna say that even to
PG, even early Lebron and Kobe All Star games were competitive, Lebron never
participated anything. I'm talking about just the game. So, I mean,
the three point contest for me was always my favorite. The dunk contest was
just the icing on the cake. The NBA now allegedly has better shooters than
back then, which they probably did. You probably so no doubt that that
should have been But everybody just want something close though that in the finals,
uh oh, Cat Cat and the Leonard we alerd Cat Anthony Dallas and and
he beat him on the last row. But they had to have a shootout
because four people all got the same score twenty six. Yeah, and then
uh yeah, and then uh, what's it called hit twenty nine? Didn't
he Yeah? At the buzzer, I thought, oh, no, twenty
four, it was twenty six. It was twenty four. He had twenty
four. Carl after how had twenty four, then Dame that last one six.
So I just think people just want to see something competitive. Also,
a good conversation that uh that Kenny and was having Kenny and Regy was having
Kenny and Kenny don't want to give it to nobody, by the way,
but continue his commentary. It is after after the three point contest, we
had Steph is Sabrina something the old girl who literally only missed one shot a
three point shootout. So when they get it, the actual Mascha who was
better up a good point, the kind of proved that he should the women
should be allowed in the three point come. I said that last week,
and I was told no by someone at this table. I did what I
said, but he got the wrong last night by saying Sabrina who also hit
twenty six Steph at twenty nine from the NBA three point line step at twenty
nine. Now here's the thing, Tony Ton, I'm glad, I'm glad
you brought that up. I'm glad you brought that up. No. No,
the reason why I say step Count is because he is the epitome.
He's a shooter shot he got Relax. There's a lot of people that were
actually disappointed you weren't there next sitting next White Relax really quickly, really quickly.
Uh, you brought up two things that I found interesting. They were
saying because Kenny was on excuse me my language. Kenny was on everybody else
last night, from the Dunk Contest, the True point contest. He was
on everybody but last night. But I just want to say this. Do
you think now you're right? Dreg you brought this up last week? I
think the ladyship produce a painting another that thing. I was like, man,
please yes, And Steph Curry didn't win this boo that man boo,
that man, that man boo that man. Now what I say to this
no time of that time. No, no, got a little w w
E belt. No one cares. What the point? No, no,
no, no, it's a it's a principle. It's not a principle.
If you're gonna, if you're gonna beat you want to get what you What
you're saying is that that women are beneath me? Is that what you're saying.
What I'm saying is when it comes to competitive basketball, we're on two
different levels. I'm sorry, I won't say that because the three point contest?
Are you willing to are we gonna? Are we gonna clip? Are
we gonna? Are we going to lower the rim and then put the limit
of dunk contest. Wow, I'm just saying that's just what it is.
There are certain things that very second, even if you want to post the
post three point contest is one of those examples that it can be. I
got my microphone over here. It's even playing you. Thrina literally scored just
the same way everybody else did. The only different that Sabrina had compared to
everybody else from the n B A is w n B A ball. You
got a smaller ball because she got a smaller hand. She got a w
NBA ball. Yeah, that's only different because they got smaller ball, smaller
and they they was like, hey, you want to shoot from w n
B A lamb. She was like, nah, I'll shoot. I was
like, I'll shoot from uh where you shoot from? I was like oh,
and only lost by one shot. Now, I also want to say,
I want to say this too. Still looks like he wasn't trying to
take its area. So I was like, all right, step I say.
Steph also sat down the whole time, and Kennington broke up a good
point. Steph has been playing so shooters. You still technically hot, You
got your rhythm she's in the off season, so all she got is whatever
shoot she been doing with the team USA right now, all she got is
time. So she should be warmed up too. I'm not saying she shouldn't
be, but we gotta give credit. What credit due? Do you only
lose by basically two buckets? So are you saying that this should be a
yearly thing? Look, what I'm saying is, if you want to spice
up the All Star weekend, here's here's a good example right here, four
and four for the best women shooters in the league. But they're gonna be
looking for a check. They already feel like they're not getting paid enough,
so they're definitely gonna be looking for a check to participation. If you if
you are, if you turn the ind of your season out as one of
the four best percented shooters, don't you think you should get a check for
that? I think you should. You get invited to the All Star Game.
That's a check. Basketball players are already overpaid. They closely, they're
not close. But let's not But let's not act like that's because of sexism.
That's because I just want to say it, because people are watching,
Because there are people out there that said stuff like that. The reason that
they're not paid as much is because the sport doesn't make near as much money
because Dre doesn't have w n B app when's the last time you watch the
w n B A game. I watched it every summer, lies you?
How you gonna tell me? I watch it every summer every summer. Okay,
let's take that probably the finals. If we take the probably when it's
the w NBA finals, you're not enough to get home because it's the Miami
Heat, the opportunity for somebody to want a couple of them. So some
create more recognizable names because mister w n b A. A lot of these
women that play I've never heard of because they don't catch my attention. But
if I'm watching a three point contest and here's this chick who literally made every
single shot but one. Okay, now, when I hear that name,
or you know, sabringa such and such as a New York Liberties as playing,
Oh, let me go ahead and check this game. So you're telling
me because you just gave a whole speech. You mean, because w NBA
players are playing, you're gonna start playing attention. I catch a game of
two. I'm not gonna sit there. No, I'm about to I'm about
to the three point. I said that last year. I have daughters.
Okay, I have daughters, so naturally my natural habit is to try to
let them see themselves in ways that they may not think about. So here
you are as three four great women who can shoot from anywhere, who are
now competing against the same men that Daddy watches all the time. You know,
you go down to the game with me, you see Dame litter Hey,
you recognize him. That's Dame time and you see him barely, you
know, making it past this this girl from New York. Now you look
at life a little bit differently. So I get all of that tone.
But at the end of the day, how much money are you going to
spend on the ticket? I might my kids, I probably got try.
All I ask is to you can try. How many tickets are you going
to actually buy? That's the problem, and that's where the money comes in,
because it's not enough ticket sales, is not enough, endorsements. It's
barely on TV. But I it's not enough. It's not enough of anything
that has to do with the w n B A and it's not the culture,
but let's try it. You've changed the All Star Game. I changed
to be on a stupid wheel one year that did absolutely nothing. But to
be honest with you, I think college girls basketball it's more entertaining it is,
so let me ask you. Let me bring that's okay, let me
bring this back. The n b A and the w n b A are
are managed by the same conglomerate of leaders. Right, w n b A
has its own commissioner, but Adam Silver is calling the shots over there to
okay, he's making suggestions, he's calling the shots. He's making suggestions.
They have their own commissioner. Adam Silver oversees all that. That's his bubble.
Believe it, Believe me? Do they have their own Do they have
their own commission I said that you're acting like he big man and they just
trust me. I like, because he's a man. Dre I bet he
ain't making what albums? This is? This is, this is what I'm
saying. You know why he not making it? Because dre Ain got season
tickets to the w n b A. I'm talking about the w A A
commissioner ain't making with Adams Silver has a second job. She has a second
job. She does have a second job. So what's your second job?
I don't know, getting con at the So what I'm saying is I think
the NBA should look at Adam Silver had his hand on the NBA week helping
him out. He had I'm talking about just NBA All Star Weekend. Adam
Silver had it figured out up until a couple of years ago when he incorporated
the HBCUs, when he incorporated the Kobe Quarter, when he incorporated all this
stuff. He brought in mac Miller from the G League to let them start
name mac mcclun. Whoever brought him in, brought him in, brought him
in, let the G League start playing. All I'm saying is I would
love to see for the w n B a more incorporating to the sport,
because if we wanted to be on the level of the NBA, it starts
with exposure. It starts with people being able to see. Now this this
lady that played against Steph Curry. By the way, nobody has saturname except
for me. But what's her name? So Sabrina something. So Sabrina who
played against Stephan Curry. Now that she played against Steph and only lost by
one. You don't think people are gonna start paying attention to her. Her
team, they said, they was like Kenny Smith, they said he was
drunk, but they was like, you should bring in Caitlyn Clark next year,
see if she can the college kid ye who is being called the best
shooter since Steph Curry. So I would love to see the w n b
A incorporated into the All Star weekend because it's a showcase of everything that then,
so then maybe maybe the w n b A season should be doing a
different time then, you know, I'm saying different than what they're already doing.
They should be doing the NBA season, cause you already have football,
you have baseball, you have and then you have the NBA that are all
competing. Again, all she got, all they got is the summertime when
everybody else is if they get all the NBA players on vacation, they sharing
arenas, all the NFL players on vacation in the summer camp, they sharing
arena with some of these places, with some of these teams where you think
the New York Liberty players they played in Manister Square Garden, so l A
Sparks playing. So then so if the l A Spark play in Los Angeles.
Let them play at four o'clock and the Lakers play at seven o'clock.
So I don't work for the NBA, but I'll tell you this that might
be able to get more fans home up. I tell you this, I
serve forum for a Marquet game at four and a Bucks game at seven.
It is not as easy to turnover a stadium as people think it is.
All leave the game ended at six and they have to convert the stadium over
quickly, and they almost didn't do it. So that's not as easy as
people think. They feel you but they don't have to change anything. They
say the same, Yeah they do. If it's to change the lane,
they have to change I guess the seating the courts. Well, if they
want they want the NBA parts, then they're gonna have to figure that out.
Look at the end of the day, I hate to be this guy,
but y'all making me this guy. Don't blame us. I'm just saying
I don't mind being this guy, but we're not going to see so Crystal.
To clarify, the side of the shirt is where you buy this outfit.
It's the African American College Alliance, but we told her support Black college.
Those are two different webs. I believe in Crystal like you believe in
the w n b A. I'll be a little bit her. I believe
in her a little bit more than anyways. I don't know. I think
she was gonna come here with me with a paragraph. I know, I
think she's gonna be with a paragraph later, but really quickly. Another somebody
suggested that the NBA do one on one tournament during the Austin y'all don't want
to see a one on one tournament, but y'all want to see the w
n b A take part in it. I want to see it. I
just said it would be dope that they added it's it's it's it's so,
here's why I one on one time on time. You mean to tell me
all these suggestions. That's ally, But at the end of the day,
y'all don't want to see it. Listen the one on them some money,
the one on one tournament. The male ego is too fragile. The NBA
would never do it the one time. If they tried it with Shaq and
Elija, you w on it never happened. They looked like one on one.
Dude, Taco Bill had a whole campaign about it. Don't remember the
Taco Bell cups, Elijah w On versus shot one on one PEPSI. They
had a whole campaign and never end up happening. And it never end up.
It would never happen. Okay, So this question, so y'all don't
want to y'all don't want to see that. You don't want to see that.
I would love to see that, a one on one tournament between hu
though whoever. Listen, if players had to sign up for that, they
don't our best players on I think they would Our best players don't play now,
nd James signing enough for that. No, it's Stephen Curry signing that.
No, maybe maybe Steph Lebron James is not going to be a fight.
What you mean is one on one, one on one, that's when
all the fights go down. Wow, yeah, I want to see it.
You know how many times we fought when we was playing one on one?
Yeah, we were kids. We're not making three hundred thousand dollars a
game. Go on, go on YouTube and look at those one on one
back. They're talking crazy too, They're talking to crazy what they're gonna do.
Come on, man, I still want to see it. I would
like to see it. I think it would be a unique concept for the
NBA to try, But the NBA egos would never It's my thing, y'all,
brother talk about that's clarity really quickly, y'all making all these suggests for
the w n B. I think that I say, hey, let's do
it one on one tournament. I don't want to see that. I would,
I would, I would, I would like. I think a three
on three tournament would be dope. It's the same thing, not the same
thing. Why why not the same thing? Why not? Because the ego
can be protected in a three on three by blaming somebody else. If you
do a three on three, you got Steph Clay and who's the third Draymond
against Lebron on a D and who's their third spencer than Witty? Now,
so I think I think a three on three would be more desirable for fans.
Uh. But I think a one on one you put you risk more
injury, you risk, and then the male ego is not gonna lie with
Lebron would never do it. He would, Kevin Durant would never do it.
Kevin Durant will Kevin Durant will do it. He don't want that embarrassment.
They don't want that. Man. Wow, he has never been in
a three point contest. He could have. He shouldn't, but he could
have. He could have. Lebron has never done the doc hunt. I
think one. I think when you could have I think one. Well,
that's true too. I think when it comes to one on one, it's
more I'm calling this person out. Once you call somebody out, that's it
like either you a gonna get in here or you're gonna cower cower away.
I just feel like that's I don't know, that's an interesting But we are
gonna have a week with our basketball after the like four days. I think
he's like four days, but Thursday to Thursday next week. I think about
it if you asked me. But we're at the half we're kind of at
the halfway point. A little over forty games where we're at the halfway point.
And if the halfway point, if the season ended today, I have
a couple of awards that I want to go over. And what do you
what do you guys think? What are your guys picks? First up?
MVP who is your MVP? If the season ended today, who's the MVP?
Would you like me to go first? Yeah? Joker? Really yes?
Back to back? I can't say back to back this last year because
they sacrificed. He gave it to MBS crying Joker. Joker is playing the
best basketball in the NBA right now. He's the most consistent Giannis in the
close second. Uh. If I had to pick someone who's ever got it,
it would be Shy. But I'm giving it a Joker right now,
Casey George or did you want me to go go ahead? I got I'm
speaking of I got s g A. He's falling somebody. I've seen a
clip that I think it was from a Gilly The Gilly Show, Gil with
Arena's show, and he was talking about how every team has a veteran or
have veterans who you know they're in this via MVP conversation from Joker to Jannis.
They have other These are veteran teams with veteran players alongside these guys with
the Oklahoma City Thunder, I believe they're in second or third place, and
it's like, I say, it's just him, but as a team that
this is A. This is a very young team and I don't even think
he's He's probably one of the oldest oldest plays on the team and I don't
think he's thirty yet. So for him to me, I think for it
to be somebody, I think it's always should be body different every year.
And I feel like once you say once, you just say, like what's
just say you said joker? Once you names like Joker and stuff like that.
One of those things were like, let's see what else we got or
who else can be? Who else could be? An m v P.
I think, Okay, Oklahoma City Thunder right now are in second place,
so and they're they're beating teams like Denver, they're beating teams like the Clippers.
Who's in a close second, I mean second third? But to me,
I think s g A. I don't even know, I can't even
pronounce his name, is like KEP saying Shy guildres Alexander. Okay, but
I think he's playing the best ball out of everybody. It's a shame is
a shy. So then I'm only my only thing is why isn't Tatum in
that discussion right now? And they got and they got the best record in
the league right now, taking shave because they got the best record in the
league. But if you look on that at the actual talent, he's not
more talented than Tatum. I think he is, he's not. He's balling
bro I think he's playing good basketball, but he's not Tatum. He's fourth
and scoring. Let's just they're just trying to give him some credit because he
over there. Okay, see, ain't nobody else to shoot the ball.
He gotta do what he do. They're in number two. There's plenty of
people that can shoot the ball. Now I'm not saying there's plenty people that
can shoot the ball, but they can play. That's even more credit to
him as a basketball player. Just because they ball out of control and just
because there they don't have a stacked squad. I think the thing about Boston
and Jason Tatum is that their team is stacked. If you on paper,
Jason Tatm's in top five. Like I said, he's in top five,
but he wouldn't be neither of the two we just mentioned. So to KEI
who you got? Zeke, who you got? She got? The whole
thing about Now that's did you say you're honest alone along Ricky of the Year?
Easy? Is he your Rocky of the Year or is you picking him
because you think everybody else gonna pick up? Bro? He has unprecedented numbers.
Are you kidding me? Victor h biyamba? Bro? I like Chat,
there's a lot he's he's he's averaging Ricky of the Year to pass Michael
Jordan's scoring a thousand points. Remember, I don't I need to see it.
You show me that doesn't I didn't that either. Well, I'm Shae.
I'm mussing with Shae. Two close close, third is uh what's his
name? Brandon Miller? He's been coming up. But Shaye is averaging Chat
is averaging seventeen. I think Wimble is averaging twenty. So it has been
a little bit more consistent and they got a better record, and they have
a better record. Victor wimby Yama joins the one thousand point club. Victor
mbamba you twenty this year, So I'm not okay. He okay. He's
the fastest rookie to a thousand points. Uh. The last two months,
Victor has averaged twenty one point eight points a game, nine point six rebounds,
three point seven assists, three point five blocks, two steals and only
playing about twenty seven minutes a game. Uh huh, Victor's that rookie of
the year. All right, don't take it away. Stop hating. Take
it away. But you've been hating on Victor since you don't even give them
man's name, right, Like, at least you try other names. You
call him wingspan. I gonna understand your point is Victor Wingspan? Okay?
Now, if I say he's a bus and he's proven me wrong, yes
I did. I showed him a bus. He just proved me wrong.
He's not a buzz. So I'm just saying I just feel like I don't
want to give it to him just because I feel like I said like he's
he was right. I think Chet's been a little bit more consistent. It's
kind of hard to it's easy for check to kind of hide just because of
the season that SGA is having. But to me, I think he's rookie
of the year. I think he's been playing really consistent ball. I think
he's averaging sixteen seventeen a game, fifty percent from the field, seven boards
three or eight boards three is so I think it's just one of the things
where like, eh, yeah, yeah, well, I'm sorry, Defensive
Player of the Year. M it would have been in bed for me.
I can see that it would have been in bed. But he's been out.
That's a horrible one for me, man, because unfortunately, man,
and I'm gonna say this, the n b A is not known for defense
anymore. Very true, you know it. It doesn't make money, as
Tone said, and teams are lacking that. So that's because of certain rules
that are in the game now you can't play the way you used to play.
So Jaron Jackson is playing really good defensive basketball. Rudy Gobert is playing
really really good defensive basketball. Marcus Smart hasn't played at all this year.
Jannis is playing really good defensive basketball. I like to do what he's a
three blocks a game. I don't want to. This is the same hull
up before I'm gonna need you out of the reason. I'm having a rebuttal,
y'all are the same people last week just said it's time for Brooke to
hang it up. Well, first, that wasn't me. I said that.
He said that, not me, said thank you, that's number one,
number two. I wasn't gonna go Brook as far as def player the
year number two, I was gonna say, because I said that, I
wasn't gonna give it to him. It's Rudy Gobert or Jared Allen. Man,
Rudy Gobert or Jared Allen. I'm gonna go with Rudy Gobert. Why
Jared Allen? What has Jared Allen done so good? Well, he's averaging
several blocks per game. Several His rebounding what several I'm gonna giving you in
a second, his rebounding right now, this is what he's averaged. He's
averaging fifteen points a game, ten rebounds a game, and two point eight
block shots a game. That's pretty. That's a nice all around. That's
a double double. I don't think that's correct. He's looking at the stats
right now. Well, I mean you're no, no, no, no,
no. He just likes Brooks so much that he wants to always make
a case for Brook. Okay, Brook is old. We appreciate him,
but it's I'm gonna let it go. Pack it up, as we used
to say in the waters, pack it up. I'm gonna go. I'm
gonna go with Jared Allen. But I also like Rudy Gobert man with Jared
Allen. I know y'all hate him, but Rudy Gobert as a defensive president.
R Here here are the favorites. If you just worried quickly, Jared
Jared Allen is number one, check home number two, Victor wing Span for
three, and bam, Rudy's not the top five. I got top four,
I didn't get top I'm okay with that list. But we know the
n b A. I think, I think, I honestly think will get
Defensive Player of the Year and doubt they'll give They'll give Victor Wingspan, Rickie.
I don't think they give this award to a rookie. I don't think
the politics, Oh he just had ten blocks. I don't think the politics
will let it be those those ten blocks are not equal to a win.
They did not equal to a win. And like I said before, I
got come from him naturally, being seven foot tall, seven foot four,
Like like Victor, if you try to shoot off roim me just gonna take
it out the air. Kyrie's scooped him up. I was like, ooh,
Tyree's I see I mean, Kyrie, I'm sorry dropped him off,
though he scooped him up real quick. I was like the left hand.
It was with the left hand. This is a newer this is a newer
award. Davis had a pretty good defensive year, though. Does he even
qualify he even pay enough games? What do you mean? He didn't even
miss no game this year? But like three? Three? What he missed
three games? No, he did not look it up. He missed like
three games this year. Since you like your laker, since you like to
stand behind your laker stats, I guarantee you that's wrong. I don't know
if it's wrong. I don't know if it was right. Oh, I
know it's wrong. Three games, bro, I'm just saying three games.
He's averaging twenty five about games as he played games, all many games as
he played comeball. You need to stop at least at least show some effort
here. What was I gonna say? Oh, clutch player of the year.
He's played fifty two games so far, and there's been how many games
so far? He's there's no way he's played fifty two games and ain't been
fifty two games in the season as it. It's no All Star break signifies
forty don't know it doesn't you sure he's played fifty two games? He played
as he meant, he played fifty six games last year, all of last
year, all of last year. That's what's up and provement. So I
don't know, said sentences help you stay? So what's the Lakers record?
If he played the Lakers record is what trash? He's played fifty two games.
That's not what you are such a hater though, Hey, that's what
it is. Trash. The Los Angeles Lakers have played, the played fifty,
yeah, fifty six games this year. The lost only missed four games.
The Los Angeles Lakers have played six games. And he played how many?
So you said three? No, I said like three games. I
said more than three. So I was right. I'm not gonna do that
with you, man, I was right. You're wrong. You said three.
You said, you said he has missed a lot of games. Four
games considered a lot of games. I said he's missed more. You said
three, and I said he's missing he's missed like two or three games.
And then you said he's missed way more than that. I said, he's
missed more than three, and he missed more than three or nine, way
more than that he missed more than three or now, Patty, Patty,
Paddy, Patty, miss Patty? Did he miss bardy three? Though?
I know he you know he did it, Patty, But some Paddy,
Hey draw you O. I bet you if I owed you twenty and I
gave you nineteen, you're gonna be like you O be twenty. They thirty
and twenty six they suck. They only you won't be twenty. Right,
You're gonna want that dollar. They're not that bad because that bad twenty six
trash. It's only three games and they be in sixth place. Come on,
I got a house, and not about the Lakers trash the year.
Just ask the question. They're trash. They're trash. I didn't ask why
are you so angry? Man? That man Anthony Davis has had a good
season. I think he can be the player, but he's not even the
top five right now. I'm just what I'm saying is this No, I'm
saying no, that's you right, I'm saying you're picking him. Yeah,
get them Lakers and get them Lakers in there, Lakers in the bucks.
Anyways, I don't even know. I don't even know what you would do
with the Lakers play the Bucks in the NBA Final. What you're gonna do
with that? What you're gonna do with that Lakers jersey? What you're gonna
do with that? Keysy Bucks, Lakers make it to the NBA Finals,
What you're gonna do? Watch the game? Who you cheering for? I'm
watching the game, America while you got I'm Lakers fan here. So what
happens is if it's the Bucks and the well, that's not going to be
them. You know, neither of them are going. But I will and
I will always I will always hear from Markey. Ask anybody who's ever gone
to a Golden State game with me? But when they played you, but
you step this was this was if I hold nuts, bron Drake gonna be
like, yeah, let's go Bucks. And then soon as soon as Steph
hit that corner three, I just I just I do that now, Like
if y'all have both in the games with me, and players on the opposite
team does something good on the Bucks, I'll clap and say, dang,
that was good. I'm a fan of the sport. I'm not a bandwagon,
right, Okay, it's okay for you the jump down my throat when
I say something about Lebron and the lake you take you know you do.
You don't want to start holding the nuts? Name you holding Bron nuts.
You're the first person who started that. Well, I mean because let him
God say, well, letim go filthy. Out of the of the year
for me right now is Dame Lillard man last year? Last year? Was
Dame to last year? Last year? No, he didn't. Old boy
from Sacramento. Oh the Aaron Fox. He Aaron Fox won last year?
He did? He did? I think gonna get it this year, this
year last but not least champion. Who do you think is gonna win this
year? Are we allowed to say? Oh, I'm sorry? Coach of
the Year Doc Rivers, Hey, let me tell you something. He get
into the finals. Give it to him. He's not even eligible because he
didn't coaching up games. I don't think that. I don't think that block
coach. I think it does you think? Look, I'm sure you're gonna
look into it. But Coach of the year Timberwolves man, these come on?
No, im a coach I don't even know his name, coach of
this kas Oklahoma City thunder him or I'm going to Boston coach who Boston.
I'm going Chris Finch from the Minnesota timber Woods. Minnesota for years, I'm
going to have been a number really quickly. I'm sorry, where are you
going with him? They got the best worker in the league, so he
deserved Coach of the Year. No, that don't make you a good coach.
That's number one. Number two. Your team has to be doing something
that they're not. Boston built for a champions They only lost twelve games.
They're built for a championship. It's gotta be some coaching in there too,
So it ain't just about it ain't just about the players. Because twelve losses
that's pretty good in US sixty games almost. If they don't, that team
is built to win seventy two games. Seventy two games, I'm going with
everything touching coaching has nothing to do with it. I'm going with Chris Finch
from the Minnesota timber Woods because Minnesota are number one at the All Star Break.
If they can finish top to that number two, they're number one.
They will be. If they can finish number one in the Eastern in the
Western Conference they can finish, that'll be the highest probably since they pat KG
in company. He's coaching some big egos over there, some big egos.
Edwards Cat them, Cat's got egos. Dot is young and dumb. Egos
are young and dumb. So yeah, I like Minnesota's coach, but I
also think the thunder could get it. I think Tyrone Luke can get it
because people counted the Clippers out. Oh I know, they kill them off
for a reason and the reason and now they're killing and why is that?
Because the coach has got them on that why is that dress? Thank you
Kawhi, But that's coaching. But if he played, we all knew,
if he played all year long, they'd have been won a championship. Now
he playing, they win it. Milwaukee Bucks are two games away from being
in fourth place, three games from we're gonna get to that. Uh,
you got dovin Ham, so you just got jokes today. I like Boston
deal. Really yeah. I like Boston coach. It takes a lot to
get a team to build that chemistry to where they're at right now. The
same team from Lantia just for two players, but they lost their defensive anchor
and they still in there. They got an even better one who Drew Holliday.
But I'll say this holiday is not the same, and I loved you.
You know I'm not the same Drews the Jews in a place where he's
easy to hide, And I mean that as far as name wise, by
the time you get to his name, who what the fourth best player on
that team. He was the same thing in Milwaukee, no saying in Milwaukee's
probat of the big three. He's probably Big three at Milwaukee, so his
it was always eyes on him, especially if Gianna didn't play NBA champ.
I put in here top five. But if you just got the one,
that's cool too. It's hard, man, it is the league has been.
It's been so inconsistent around the whole league. Besides Boston. I don't
know, but Boston has this record every year and they don't win it.
So I can't say Boston. But there's nobody in the East right now,
in my opinion, that can beat the Boston Celtics. I don't think so
either. So I got Boston, I got the Boston Celtics winning it this
year. I got the Bucks in the East, and I got Denver in
the West. Oh I forgot No. I'm just so are you going on
top? Of five or you're just gonna go I'm talking about the whole thing.
I'm not saying who's gonna play each other. I'm saying the whole thing.
Who you think is gonna win it. I just need one team.
Either you can go, either you can get I'm gonna go top five Denver
one, Bucks two, mm hm three maybe okay, see no, Minnesota
three to win the title because they can play half core basketball. And if
you can play half core basketball in the playoffs, that's that's a that's a
big that's a big thing. It is a big thing. I think go
ahead, got more four. I'm gonna go with Boston. You said Boston
number one, number two? He said Bucks. I'm sorry, I said
Bucks one. I know I said Denver one, Bucks two. He said
three. Okay, see four Minnesota and five Boston. Okay, So I'm
gonna go with Boston one, Denver two, uh, Clippers three, Bucks
four, and probably in the fifth I'm probably go with Phoenix. Who Phoenix
fifth? Bill Allighan, Okay, I want you to know that I'm going.
I'm going I'm going Clippers one. Oh you have Clippers won it at
all. I honestly believe that I'm going Clippers. One. I'm going Denver.
Two, I'm going Boston. Three, I'm going Okay, see four,
I'm going five. That say Boston, you haven't had Milwaukee yet,
Well I go, I go Bucks. Five. It wasn't. I mean,
I'm even gonna sit here in line. Well, I mean I don't
have the Bucks getting out of the second round. So I don't have them.
I don't have them getting out of the first round. Depends on what
we play. So the Bucks are unfortunate. And that's gonna take us right
into Bucks talk real quick. I don't so real quick. We signed a
Gallinari Bucks signed he was silent two years three years ago. He was SILD
two three years ago. We did a wing and that's all we could get.
The Bucks the Bucks have. This is very rare of the Bucks.
They have put all their baskets in one egg and we don't I mean all
their eggs in one basket. We usually don't do that. We use it.
Believe in the future. Guys, we got this. Nah, they
moving and unfortunately they moving so much. We ain't got no trade assets.
And we have three coaches on the payroll, and we have three coaches on
the payroll, and I think that I don't want to say he did it.
Come on, man, you gott it. Listen, man, we
can't even though he's our guy, we can't give him a pass. How
if you don't think the players, he just said, I don't want uh
what's his name? Nurse? He just said, I don't want him.
I don't care what y'all do. I just don't want him. If you
don't think the superstar has something to do with a coach, he just said
I don't want him. Do you think then Nick Nurse would have made a
difference, would have made a difference. I do better than Adrian Griffin.
Here's the thing. Here's the thing I'm gonna ask they should hire agent Griffin.
I will give you that. I'm gonna answer your question. Doc Rivers
has a Milwaukee Bucks team right now, who has the second toughest schedule in
the NBA in the second half of the season. Yes, Doc got a
team that was had some locker room issues. Doc has a team that he
has to now coach from the ground up. So I don't know what people
are expecting. Are you Are you surprised by the three and seven start?
I am a little surprised by the three and seven start, but not because
of coaching, but because of players. Like I said, Dame, we
all celebrating this two times three three p who cares. Somebody was like,
yeah, man, go Bucks. I was like, I don't care about
that. You better bring the playoffs right, bring into the game consistency night
after night. I mean, he's been hurt in and out of the lineup,
and I forgot about Chris Middleton has been the lineup the last couple of
games. Either, Oh Middleton, they might shut him down as quiet as
his cat. So I just feel like, but let's talk about Let's talk
about the signing though, because we needed to a wing. Now we gotta
win. How y'all feel about the pick up? I don't think it helps
us, or you think our users like whatever, I don't think it helps
us, whatever, use like whatever, whatever. I wasn't impressed at all
by it. I was like, whatever, I'm not impressed by at all.
I mean, if he comes in and he shoots a decent percentage,
if he does with Google to the Bucks, but if he come in and
stick it up like we've already been doing it, then it is what it
is at the same time. We are in third place, but we are
shooting horrible, horrible. We are shooting horrible. Defense and we're still in
third and we're shooting horrible. I would, but here's the thing. We're
at some point, at some point, far away from first. We're far
away from first. We don't have to be first because every time we was
first, Guess what happened, we got smoked. We want a championship.
Guess what place he was? Second? Third, or well? This year
third season ended. Today we've been playing Indiana and I see them beating us
for one, four two. I'll see that for to one. I mean,
Indiana's decent, But when it come down to play all basketball, Gianna's
goes to a different level, just like the rest of those superstars does,
like lebron K, d Steph Kawhi. You know he got swept last year
by Miami. He was hurt. Who was hurt? Play every game?
He did not? He did? He did? He did not? Do
you remember he had to come back because even though he was hurt, he
won. He was hurt for one game he last season, yes, one
game, Remember he played the first game and he got hurt. He missed
one game he didn't play the second game, so he missed one game.
But we weren't in it at all. He's he was hurt. Remember he
fell on his back. He did, I did. But he still put
up crazy numbers. Let's not give that. The Bucks just were not ready
to match up. Listen, he was scoring, but defensively he could not
move to recover none. If you go back and look at it, defensive
he could not guard hisself. All I know is this, once you step
on the court, all excuses go out the window. And if we're going
to hold him up to the same standard, we don't know everybody. We
understand standard. We know everybody else to do standards, nothing Lebron standard.
I'm just talk about the stand that everybody else besides Lebron. You know you
got a different standard for him. Real quick mention. I do have one
question for you guys before we wrap up. Would you have liked how would
you have reacted if the Lakers pulled the trigger on Lebron to the Warriors?
Can I get that I didn't see it only a docket. I didn't so
that, so I don't know if you get there or not. Okay,
what I was time is running but how would you have reacted if that would
have got pulled? If? What are you here? Do you hear about
that? What? Well? First of all, I didn't put on the
docause it's a fifteen to twenty minute conversation of him Brandon and raging about Lebron.
I didn't want to hear it. Okay, I didn't want to hear
it. I say part of it, but I didn't really understand. So
the trade around the trade deadline. As soon as the hit, actually,
Lebron was, oh, I'm sorry. The Golden State Warriors called the Los
Angeles Lakers like, hey, is Lebron available? They said no. But
what they did was they said, hey, Lebron, Golden State is calling.
Are you cool or you want to leave? He was like no,
I'm staying. He was like, okay, they left it alone. That
happened to two teams, the Golden State Warriors and oh my god, who
else it was? It was? It wasn't the New York Knicks. Somebody
called it. Somebody else called about Lebron. I think it was a no
Philly Maury. Maury called about Lebron. He was dead serious. He was
like, they was like, no, he's not available, but they called
the audacity for them to call about him, that's what they They wanted him
on the team as the about no because Lebron wants to play with Steph Loki.
And on top of that, they just want to see you seem like
it's gonna happen. Number one. I see you, I see you grinning.
I see underneath you can't even hold a composure. You can't even hold
a composer in your face because your grint is so hard it makes me sick.
Because you two, let me tell you something. Let me tell you
something. Ron. If Lebron James, no real quick. If Lebron James
with to go to gather State warriors, I'm done. I'm done. I
am done. I'm gonna here one time a good stephen a rant, and
then I am done. And I can't do it. I can't do it
to I can't knowledge, I can't do it. What y'all, I couldn't
do it? What do you think is gonna happen? If people with the
Golden State are what a think about what they gonna have to give up hold
on? Think about what they're gonna have to give up to get that they
take Draymond. They're gonna take more than Clay Draymond, Clay and a couple
of draft picks, a couple of draft picks. Don't don't close the door,
because Lebron will opt out and he will go play. You think Lebron
want to go play with kaminga Lebron hold on Lebron, that alone is seventy
points. Just them alone is seventy points. The wrestling, I gotta do
much. And here's why that's okay for everyone that's saying, well with Kad
did and Dre, you was just crazy. It's different. Lebron will be
here twenty two next year. He is near the end of his career.
He's averaging twenty five. It doesn't matter. It does matters. Play wherever
he wants, stop it. He can play wherever he wants. Some talk
about why couldn't se Why couldn't handle this? That's why you know I'm done.
