Yah, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Who snap, I'm so
tired. Uh, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls at your boy baseek
in the building. Uh, I'm hearing my brother Casey was good. Good
people. Also hear my brother Dre two weeks in a row. He gets
first feeling over me. What's good, everybody? Friday? You just got
full seasons, not even pretty much every both seasons. And I got maybe
ten out of four seasons. And he over here talking if you're about shay
laugh phone, what's good? Everybody? Happened to be in the house NBA
Finals Night special episode What's Good? Yeah? A special episode? What special
episode? One of the least celebrated holidays, Father's Day. Let's called what
it is? So I just wanted to shout all the fathers out there.
We had one at the table. Shot to you too, Shot to you,

day tongue. You know what I'm saying. You got a basketball team.
So that's good fathers out there. Yeah, fathers that's doing what they're supposed

Man. You know fatherly figure. Happy Father's Day, brother, you know
that's just all good man, ladies. Let the men have their day.
Man. You know, I see a lot of social media stuff where mothers
be like, happy Father's Day to me, because I'm my man and daddy.
Listen. I respect a single parent as much as everybody. But you
can't be a man, right. You can't teach a young man. How
is you stupid? I said it, but not for me. It's not.
Let these men have their day, and for anyone any young man out
there or old man that listen to us and you you struggle with the loss
of your father or an absent father. Man, So many prayers to y'all
because it's hard dealing with a father's loss, just like it is a mother's
loss. Man. You know I was with my pops for the first thirty
three years of my life. No, man, it's Father's Day. It's
Father's Day, man, So shout out to all the men that's stepping up
and doing what you're supposed to do for these young men and young women out
there. Happy Father's Day. Fellas. Let's get into some basketball. Can't
we be good? You just you know, did all of that well I'm
just saying, Man, I'm poetic. I apologize that it's not the rap
craft you used to That's what he called it, the rap craft. Did
Jesus Christ? I played taboo for the culture today at work during lunch break.
So taboo for the culture? Tom, could you play the first club?
Played the first clips? Believe solely that all of this is Lebron James
Faulk because of Miami move. So where would you have like Bron to go?
Nowhere? Say loyal to the game. I don't have to change the
game by copping out. I stay loyal to the game. And if we
understand what the game is and the loyalty to the game is, I'm gonna
fight this ship until I get this ship, even if I'm there a bad
hand, even if I don't got the players that's gonna come to me to
help me win this, and that I'm still gonna stay down. So wherever
you get picked in the NBA, that's where you should stay. And that
means you're loyal to the game. So you respect Reggie Miller's legacy over Lebron's.
Yeah, because Reggie didn't have nothing nowhere near the pieces of Lebron had
during his journey Reggie Miller stay down. So the question is, sorry,
who is that talking Jesus correct? I couldn't tell. Is that to you
Sean McKim He is not statistically a baller, but you know he had he
had a nice college career, nice NBA journeyman. But it's not about the
messenger. It's the message. No, it's about the message, and the
message is to stay down. I think I brought this to this. I
thought it was an interesting topic just because that is one of the things about
Lebron. Uh. I think that separates That's one of the thing that separates
Lebron and Steph Curry. That step parates it at one point it did I
think that, Yeah, I think that's that separates between Brian and Curry.
Like Curry is sticking with the Golden State him say that, you can say
that if you never had to be him, say who say what? I
mean what you say? What? Can't can't say it because you never have
to be that person in that situation, under that scrutiny, under that you
know what do you call it scrutiny? Everybody had a microscope on him,
like you gotta win, you gotta win. Every year that he's been there.
So like Michean, McCants can't say that if that's If that's the case,
then he ain't loyal to the game, because if he was that loyal
to the game, then he would have changed something about himself so he could
have stayed in the league longer. Right, I maybe loyal to the game.
It's loyal to the game. Loyal to the game, I think,
But I want to loyal to the game. But do you understand, I
mean, do you understand, But do you see his POV when he's talking
about sticking with one team throughout your entire career, Because like Kobe, Steph,
Karl Malone, I'm trying to think who other guys who Jerry John stocked
in. I mean, they didn't get ships. Some of them get ships.
That's very far in between that you find players that stayed at the same
team they care Even Jordan went to a different team. Jordan went to a
different team after he because he chose to. He could have went back to
Chicago. He chose to go to Washington and a Chicago legend, Chicago would
have took him back anytime he wanted to come back there. They would have
sold tickets just off his name. I mean, that's true, that is
part of that is true. But I just feel like that loyalty stuff here
talking about I just feel like at a certain point, and then on top
of that, they don't really on top of that, he what he said.
He said, This is Lebron James fault. Uh. Lebron James gets
a lot of criticism for his super team situation, like creating super teams being
buddy buddy with people teams I've been around is not. He's not the first
one to do a super team. He's the first. Stop. He's the
first one and stop, he's the first one stop our era to be a
superteam. Stop. Don't do that. Key. Why do you think went
to LA because they wanted to build a super team? Come on, man,
If that's the case, then he should have stayed at Milwaukee and kept
trying to wear championships. Right, so they said Kareem made loyal to the
game. Stop it. Come on, man, anything he wants to put
on this dre you know a little bit of both, But you know,
I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the same conversation over and over.
Sick of the same your boys a little to the game. The fact that
I am a basketball watcher, I know seventy five percent of the players by
voice or face or team, and I didn't even know who this guy was.
So so you're kill again, Well, I'm killing a messenger because he's
trying to make himself stay relevant by coming for Lebron James. You could have
went for anything else, and you're telling the man. Has this guy even
laced up in NBA Jersey McCants? Who did he play for? He played
for a couple of He was a journeyman, Okay, a journeyman. Deep,
let me praise that, a journeyman near the end of the bench,
because I don't remember him. He was at the end of the bitch.
I don't remember him. You remember him, Yeah, I remember him,
But he was at the end of the bitch. Was James Michael Jordan,
end of the bit? He was never in that category. He was at
the end of the bench. And you're coming for Lebron. A guy who's
never won a championship, a guy who's never had a major contract, a
guy who's never had endorsement, a guy who's never even probably competed for a
conference title. Is making a statement against the second greatest player to ever play
in our sport. I call hate. I called garbage. And to say
crazy things like Reggie Miller's legacy is better to say all these players are better
because they stayed. No championships matter Lebron got for Did we like the way
he went to Miami? No, we've covered this for four years on this
podcast. No we don't like it. Did Lebron arguably start the super team
era of his generation? Absolutely? He did. But to say that that
man is diminished, right, I'll say this and I'm gonna be done with
this. Kd's going to join Golden State is far worse than what Lebron James
did join in Miami, and I'm done with it. And the think about
that that burns my biscuit about your opinion is that you be you a little
bit more, do you two? But you be acting like Lebron James is.
And that's why I have to go as hard as I do because I
don't even want to go the harder. But y'all be acting like Lebron James
does deserves no scrutiny. You're a liar, you know you just sat here?
No, no, you just sat here. You just sat here doing
so, you who ain't played no games, you who ain't barely been on
the bench. You had to remember he made he made NBA. He made
it to NBA. Let's just get that out the way. But so is
Brownie James. So it's the Nazis. What's your point. It's not it's
not easy. I'm not saying that. No, no, no, it's
not easy. But it's a criticism. It's a criticism trying to get some
Mexican food before it closes. I'm not going it's not easy. And so
I said what I said. I'm not gonna argue with you. You're talking
about Lebron James gets he should he shouldn't even Mitchell Lebron James's name. Listen,
are you are you telling me come out to play? Go ahead?
If you are Michael Jordan and your being critical of Lebron, perhaps let me
finish please, let I was quietly, Let me finish up until you start
arguing with me. I just im the whole time, the first the thirty
seconds, he was thirty second. You and Kissey talked for like six minutes
because you were like, Andre, are you still in it or you just
got anything? So I was quiet? Is last thirty seconds class rant?
Probably not? If you are Michael Jordan in your critical maybe maybe Michael Jordan's
stayed with the whole team. If your magic in your critical, that's allowed.
If your doctor Jerry West in your critical, that's even allowed. But
to be a no namer On, no all time NBA list coming for Lebron
James, who in year twenty is playing better than seventy What is that have
to do with what he said? What does that have to do? He
said, I'm done, not gonna. You're talking about it. You don't
want to hear the truth? No, the truth? You cutting me off?
He cutting me le yes out, yes and yes, no question and
I'm not Donald Trump. Then Lebron leave see alternate facts? What you mean
alternate fact? Did he leave? Listen? Did he leave? He left?
We know? Okay, we know that, but that's not the point.
There is is this man is saying that Lebron's legacy is the Minsion,
the Brtish and it's not because he went back and wanted he was back in
one. Listen, man, we are not on the The Boston Celtics will
sweep the Dallas Mavericks Day. We are not gonna sit here. It's been
thirty minutes argued about this. The man is out of order for coming for
Lebron James. He's out of order. This happened, He's out of order.
Just happened. Ten years ago. Le Bron has won two titles,
seats, he's broken scoring record. Hate. That's not hate. Hate,
that's not hate. Hate. You know what that is. That's not hate.
They want to be him envy than you. It's envy. I think
about this is the whole thing, because how is this envy? Because of
the how is this not? Because the thing about it is when you talk
about because I was jealous, Because if you're talking about something that's not true.
Because if you listen to McCants, all his comments are always like if
I if it was me, if it was me, or if it was
me, I would have you know, he had a chance. But I'm
saying that like he came in the league, he played fourth seasons in the
NBA, he made seven million dollars and probably didn't average ten points. Lebron
James worth seven million dollars with shoes a year. I mean, I'm not
think again so for him to say he blames him, that's a salty move.
That's a foul move. That's that's not what's up. I don't like
it. It's inappropriate. Yeah, yeah, leave him out there. My
thing is, hey man, he gotta play the other video at the end
of the at the end of the day, Like if you if you respect
the game, then you wouldn't you wouldn't say the thing that they say about
Lebron. I just I just at the end of respect because you think about
it, like him saying that that's a little disrespectful, little dis You know
what's funny about this stuff because we we always forget. But yet he'll go
off the same person and say Lebron is the great one, the glatest players
that ever play the game. But you say that, but two things can
be true. But you can say that two things can be true, but
yeah, you will say that about him. Two things can be not loyal,
loyal to the game. That's not loyal. Because I think my funny
thing is this because every time that something is said that that somebody doesn't like,
they like to bring up certain things like what we talk about Jordan,
we talk about what we'll talk about Jordan's and then you'll be like man back
in the day, Jordan wasn't getting this kind of criticism of Lebron, Jesus
getting and then and then and then somebody in the NBA history has ever got
that KD is close. No, they don't care about KD. Yeah,
I feel it. And my thing about that is this we and then you
just said, look at the horrific he just said something about k D.
K D gets the same criticisms, bro, nobody enjoy them. Be finished.
My thing is talk about KD. K D bouncing from team to team
is one of his strikes on his career. Now, if if KD went
back to OKC win a championship, we still would be talking about this.
Okay, but listen to this. Then let's check this out. Go ahead,
check this out. I'm listening. KD and them just had a horrific
season. They did. They ain't even have you heard any one of them
talk about it on their podcast? Of course they don't even I don't think
they have a podcast. But yet he still got the audacity to bring up
Lebron. It's not loyal to the game. And this man has gave twenty
one years of his life. He spent more time in the NBA than he
spent being him. This is a game he loved. That's nothing fair comparison.
It's a great comparison because KD could have KD blew it multiple times,
just like Lebron did. Lebron had scrubs. KD had three rising four rising
stars. Two. He was up three games to one, two, he
was up three, he had four. Serge of Baka in his prime was
a killer that he had. James Harden, he had, yeah, James
Harden, he had Kyrie. Well we're talking, okay, what about Kyrie
was up three one, he was up three one and blew it and joint
stat what about Devin Booker and Bill right now? Devin Booker is a nice,
solid shooting guard. He's in nobody's top five. Yes, what's the
weakest one. I just don't understand, like either way to go at the
end of the day, when that man, when that man is gone from
the game, they're still gonna be talking about him. So you know,
I've said this forever. The game will miss Lebron when he's gone. No,
it's facts, it's facts, because listen, I am critical of Lebron
when I need to be like I was on time. Stop it, Stop
talking about Stop talking about Jordan. You're lying there, lying, You're going
to hell with gasol. And then and then, like like everybody always talk
about how he did it right, how I was whack even though he raised
a ton of money for Boys and Girls but I was just ship. But
nobody gave him credit for how much money he raids for the Boys and Girls
Club because he could have just got you know why, because we hold up,
you know how, you know how hold on? Just do you know
how valuable that money is to the Boys and Girls Club? I do,
But it has nothing to do with basketball. How about this, When you
resign from your next job, we're gonna turn on this podcast and send your
employer and tape and say, hey, I got a bigger doubts, but
I Markeith Davis are taking my talent. It's just the way you do it,
Bro, you don't do what was wrong with it. And Lebron,
it's only a problem to Lebron. James himself recalled Lebron James himself said,
I regret so he's ain't doing so he shouldn't have to regret nothing he did
he didn't have to, I mean to me, to me, to me,
He's free to do what he wants, when he want, how he
wants. People are too judgmental on people making choices that they want to make
for their life. That's what the social media has ruled, the social media
aspects of it because you act like Lebron James and some of the other players
un tell until they do what Berkeley did, they have a responsibility. That
responsibility is something they don't they didn't ask for. It comes with the territory.
Lebron James know that. So what do you think Charles Barkley tried to
do when he joined Houston Championship at the end of his career champion? Why
did Karl Malone? But he waited that long and then it still didn't help
him from the cop So why should Lebron wait that long and then it don't
help him? I agree, That's my whole day. I agree with you.
I agree with you on that. I agree with you on that because
but that's what also sets him apart from Georgie. He gave eight years.
But that's what also says never had the roster Jordan had stop it? May
you stop it? When Jordan. When Jordan had a roster, he went,
he went, he won rings because if you Jordan had a roster,
he had won. If you take Jordan's and pipping away from those roster there
the Cleveland Cavaliers, stop it, stop it. Jordan Lebron has never had
a pippin Anthony Davis. That's not a pipping, not a pipping nowhere,
no way. Why did you look at me like Anthony Davis wasn't a good
comparison to pipping for Lebron. I agree with you. Oh okay, I
totally disagree. No do I agree on Scotty Toad said later in his career,
Dwayne Wade, Scotty Pippen is way more durable than Anthony Davis, Wayne
Way, and he played way more across the board than than Anthony Dwayne Way.
And he got rings with Dwayne Wade when he went and joined them two
and two, but they should have been four and oh it happens, or
two and two. They went the first one one and then lost to four
point. They lost to Dallas. First beat Dallas, beat San Antonio,
lost to San Antonio. But at the end of the day, he still
got his rings right with the perty proud of Lebron and even even as good
as Dwayne Wade is, he still wasn't know Scottie Pippen disagree, You're crazy.
You're You're crazy. D Wade is top five, top five shooting guard,
but he still is no Pipping. Pipping is the fifty greatest. Wade
even made it on the seventy five Greatest. R e p wants to say
something, No Way is. But if you take the combination of christ Bosh
and the Way Way with the way they supported Lebron, you got the equivalence
of Pippot. I'll give you that. Dwayne Wade is one of the greatest
shooting guards to ever play the game. In some cases he's top five shooting
guard, shooting guard, get the shooting guard. But I guess it's not
close. He's not. That's blasphamous, bro. He's not not by a
self miss not by itself, not by itself. I'm taking Pipping overweight,
no doubt. It says. That says enough right there, But what does
it so it doesn't but to say that Lebron having Dwayne Wade wasn't as good
as Michael having Pipping case in that era, No no, no, I'm
gonna tell you one fact that that that that that changes the game off of
pipping in and way six four and six and six a six, that's just
a giving. So so he's doing well, He's doing what Dwayne Wade do
at six eight sixty nine, pipping deer run point. Sometimes you gotta give
it to him. He's doing the same thing Dwayne Wade did and arguably got
But he's six a six nine doing it and arguably got robbed for Defensive Player
of the Year more multiple times. So but but but let's not act like
Bron didn't have help in his career. He has help, and he got
some wings with the help. But the when he was in Cleveland, he
didn't have no help. The first eight years was not help. Andrew Andrew
Ray jo Uh, Daniel Booby Gibson, Moe Williams. Come on, man,
Larry Hughes, I think that I argue darryus my boy, Uh went
to Utah back and forth. Uh, Carlos, Carlos Boozer, he also
had and he and you gotta remember those same people were talking about with the
same people making a video about Lebron talking about I don't even know why they're
talking about this kid is going to change this organization and now trying to get
a check from him. But move us, all man, that was good,
But move us yeah. And I ain't gonna compare Luca the Carmelo anthony.
It sort of looks like it, doesn't it a very flawed star.
All the deficiencies for Luca are coming out in the finals. Number one,
he never stops complaining to refs. It hurts his team. Another thing,
he's been awful defensively in this series. Awful in fact, there is data
and video that illustrates he's maybe the worst defensive player in the finals in a
decade. So Luca is an all time talent, but he's not a late
bloomer. He was an all time talent at fifteen years old. Is he
now amenable to change because to be a champion? Michael Jordan figured this out.
You got to look yourself in the mirror. By the way, it's
completely fair. I don't care how good your regular season is, I don't
care how good your playoffs are. If you melt down in the finals,
it will stick with you until you win a finals. This is going to
stick to Luca, and it should fairly. I mean, when you got
five fouls and you're trying to draw a charge and you're a bad defensive player,
Like, what are you doing? I just got to start? Or
is he the question? I just want to say one thing that is the
greatest hot take I've heard this week. That might be the greatest take I
heard this year. That my hot take I've heard all week. That's the
most accurate take I've heard all seasons. Me and Kesey, I've been saying
it forever that Luca is a What how many times did I say Luca hurts
his team by not by not getting back on defense and complaining. How many
talks aim I said that bront me and Kesey went to the Bucks Dallas game
here my seats, of course, and I couldn't help itself. He can't
help hisself. He can't help it up. That's fine. He can't have
his water, he can't help itself. I don't want the water, you
know what I don't want. I don't want it. I'm tired. I
don't want I can't even I can't even fathom a the responsible every time he
gets a small window to even say, hey, y'all, I got these
two African Americans right here on my tickets, my seats, like I'm like
d We talked the weather, Yeah, the weather nice, But did you
send my scene my seat right? You said my seats all right? Even
though it was snowing outside right exactly, Man, it was it's hot outside.
The how of them seat you sitting in there? He's silly, may
y'all know, I'm silly, But that is the greatest there is anything in
there. Oh, that is the greatest hot take ever. But y'all know
I'm calling. When me and Keith went to the game, the whole audience
was so disgusted because Luca's crying slowed up the whole game. And I want
to correct both of you on something. You both said that Holliday wouldn't contain
Drew. He's you said Holliday wouldn't contain Luca. He's owning him. Defensively,
he's owning him. In fact, argument could be made that Drew Holiday
is the third player who should be considered for NBP. Right. He can't
say he's containing a holding when he's averaging thirty well, because he can shoot.
He's averaging thirty and they're down three games he's averaging because because they can't
pay no defense. Yeah, that has that has nothing. That has nothing
to do with him shutting it thirty. They're losing because they're not playing mother
in the shad freeze. Apart that he just said to me, he called
mother somebody there you go. My thing is I brought Okay, So I
brought this clip because I thought it was interesting and like I always like I
did. Can you share me? It's my favorite clip? Now I'm gonna
repost it on all my social media is because it's facts, and I'm glad
that they went off. I'm gonna have to give you glad they went off
on Luca. Yes, because you ain't that that might be the best flip
he found in your life. Here's my thing. Here's my thing again,
besides the y'all's y'all this Cayden on Luca, Luca, Luca Lousa, Luca
Lousa. But that has nothing. We call that but key think he said,
though he has a generational talent. Who is he comparing them to?
But he doesn't play any who is he comparing them to? Comparing them the
mic? No, he compared them to, oh Carmelo, nobody said,
Michael found a way to get it done. All that. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, I'm saying, but he compared them to Carmelo Anthony
Casey, I'm bringing it to you. Carmelo is your guy. He's one
of your guys. Carmelo is one of my guys. To me, I
don't want to say that's the thing that held up Carmelo Anthony if winning championship.
I think he made some bad decisions, some bad basketball decisions that ma
held him from making a championship. I will say that to me. Luca
not playing d No, I'll say this to me. Everybody in the NBA
complains about refereeing. There are Luca. You can see clearly lucas one of
those guys. He probably top five, top three guys who complains as much
the other guys that can play. And Kobe was bad, Kobe wasn't as
bad as him. To me, I've never seen I've never seen anybody complain
about the rest as much as Luca and Jason Tatum. Uh, Chris Paul,
he's on this list. How about like Draymond Green, Like I've never
seen him, I complain about this? Who has this offensive who has this
much offensive talent, and I think that was the whole point of the take.
And it's to the point where now where it is very especially in Game
three of the NBA Finals, where it was very uh defamento, I said
that word wrong, but it was very critical to the yeah to his team,
and he you know, filed out and they lost the game. If
I think if Luca would have played that game, they would have won that
game. We would look at this series a little different because Kyrie had thirty.
Well, so I just feel like I play I played this because he
compared him with Kelo My Anthony. Carmelo Anthony never won a championship. I
think Camelo Anthony went to one NBA finals. He's never gone to the finals.
He's never gone to the finals, never gone to the Western Conference finals.
Then, so this is Luca And then so the question I have two
things coming out of here. Number one, will Luca ever won a championship?
Number two, do you feel like Luca will be another Kamala Anthony?
So two things I want to say here. If there was an all time
NBA cry Baby team, Luca would be the capitain. Here we go.
He'd be joined by the late Kobe Bryant, he'd be joined by Chris Paul,
He'd be joined by Lebron, James and and Michael Jordan. Michael was
not Michael. Michael was not a Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan was a cry
baby. Now he's a baby, got it? Only was he a cry
baby? He got He got NBA to change the rules, don't he got
the NBA that changed. Nevertheless, the take was great. I don't know
that comparing him to Carmelo is good because Carmelo wasn't a cry baby. He
was, that's not the he. But he didn't play the cliff at the
point of the clip is how I would I take from the cliff, and
it's to make Luca look works and that's exactly what it is you want.
So I'm gonna find Carmelo wasn't a cry baby, Carmelo did not play defense,
and Carmelo did not win a championship. I do believe Luca would win
a championship because when it's all said, Luca will have a little Lebron in
them, meaning if they don't win some titles, he'll he'll jump ship.
Don't get it twisted. But if the rumor Mills are true, and if
Dallas has interest in signing Bronnie, make no mistakes about it that you can
have it. Don't close the door. I'd actually like to see it.
So I don't think Luca will be championship less, but I do love the
hot take. It was great. It is a very critical Luca take that
we finally needed because the NBA is trying to save their next poster child by
any means necessary. Shout out to the commentary that made that clear. I
am going to help it go more viral because I'm sharing it with all my
friends When I dropped this podcast tonight, the episode on all platforms. Take
the keys, Luca. It's going to have to figure it out because you
can be as offensively talented as you want to be in the world. Is
that a fair comparison to Kmerlan Anthony. That's what they gave. That's the
label that gave Carmelo back in the day. That's why he's saying that.
I don't think Carmelo was that horrific on defense. Luca is horrific on defense.
Play defense. He doesn't even run down a court to look like he's
playing defense. He attempts he doesn't at and every time I look up now
all I see is Luca hobbling or looking for battle boy. He's not getting
a foul. I mean, you know the party. I'm sorry. Is
he not to cut you off? But you're a crazy part about it.
See also talks trash. I thought she was gonna say the other word because
I wouldn't, but he he, he's quick to talk trash to people.
Are you talking smack to fans? The players like Bruh y'all are down three
zero in the NBA Finals. It's gonna be going home tonight. They're winning
right now by by fourteen. It's the second quarter, but it's over.
On Sunday after it's a Game five, we know they ain't winning in Boston.
This series is over. But Luca bro like, you want the title
of the one of the great, You want to be the poster child,
you want to be considered a mvy people, but you don't want to do
the defense. You don't want to just shut up and dribble in the words
of that lady. He's young, he's young. He's young. He's young,
he's under twenty five, And all the great ones had to eventually learn
how to play defense, yes or no? I guess you know that,
Lord Lebron, N I think Lebron. The fact that Lebron still has not
one of defensive Player of the Year to me is baffling. I am very
shocked. Lebron always played defense. Lebron average junks as a rookie. Lebron
average steals as a rookie Bron eight forty five inches. If you can't block
a ball, you can't block a ball after that. But you see what
you see what our current defensive player year did, right? You see what
our current defensive player of the year did, right? Yeah? I know
he got his ankles tour up a couple of times. Defensive player. What
come on, man, Lebron should have had at least three at least at
least three I get it. Ten m VPS, three Distant Player of the
Year, Rookie of the Year. Uh what else? You want to have?
Six champions, la Lebron James. People would have stop watching the NBA
probably ten years ago. No, you don't speaking of the NBA finals.
Who is your m v P, which like is either one? I don't
really care. I don't but I don't really But I have a guy.
I just think like there's so much mediocracy going on. Yes, like you
crazy, it's not that exciting to me. This is born because they're two
boring teams. And I said that it's two boring slow teams. I said
that last week. I think there's a lot, there's there's story here,
but because of the play, the stories aren't. They don't have any Uh,
they don't have any gumption behind it. So if this series was tied
up two is this series was two to one or to to to two,
we be talking like, oh man, Kyrie did this in Boston. Oh
man, Luca did. But it's not it's three nothing. No one wants
to see a sweep. No one wants to see a sweet I'm sorry even
gonna lie to you. I haven't even every game I watched the first.
First I watched three, I think I was so exhausted. I listened to
it too. It was watching me kind of like doing us right now.
But let me ask record after work, let me answer the question. Uh,
Jaylen Brown, and I'm gonna give Zeke some bready here. Jalen Brown,
I only is he the m v P. He is the undisputed leader
of the Boston Celtics. I don't know about leader, but I say he's
the best player on the team. I to me, he's the best player,
like Jason Kidd. Like Jason Kidd wasn't lying when he's like team.
It was divisive also when Drew Holliday confirmed it, like if Drew had back
to back twenty point games, I'll be looking for him to be m v
P. Drew is like number three on Boston for MVP. Right, Yes,
I know, but Drew this team on his back. Put to me,
to me, it's it's to me is Jaylen Brown has showed he's MVP
and he wants it more Jayleen, Jyalen, Jason Taylor, Jason Tatum.
Jason Tatum has showed me that you can't do it by yourself. I don't
say he's mediocre, but somebody put it this. Somebody said this about Jason
Tatum. He's not elite at one thing. He's Robin and he can shoot,
he can he can score, he can dish the ball out. But
he can't he can't put this game on his shoulders and then carry a team
to the NBA Finals. I think he's been trying to do that for the
last like four years and it hasn't worked out for him, And I think
Jalen Brown is like, you know what I've earned, Like you're either gonna
follow me or you're gonna get you know, left behind, and and the
fact that he had like we're still waiting people talking about Jason Taylor, Jason
Jason Tatum. And my thing is it's, uh, it's one of those
things where people aren't talking about Jason Tatum enough because he isn't doing anything that's
really like opening the conversation to make him the undisputed leader, the undisputed best
player on this team. I think Jaylen Brown is and I also think like
Drew Holliday has been playing really good basketball too. Zeke, let me say
this though, what I've noticed about Jaum and I didn't really I saw it
a little bit in the season, but I'm singing more in the finals is
Jason. And I'm gonna watch this closely next year. Maybe I'll call in
and have a hot take if y'all inviuye me back a space. That's okay,
because you know I have players myself, but not I don't. I
really don't. But I didn't realize that Jason Tatum was so inconsistent. Does
he have two games in a row where he's good, Because what I see
is good, inconsistent, good, inconsistent, good, inconsistent, and it's
showing in these finals. Like when he goes cold, he goes cold.
I'm talking Chris Middleton cold, Right, Yeah, I see that. So
I didn't realize that. But I'm happy for Jalen Brown. I still think
he's overpaid. Currently, the Dallas Mavericks are up forty five to twenty five
in Game four of the NBA Finals. Mm hm, six minutes left in
the second quarter. But if there's a Game five, it's sober and because
the m v P is going to carry this team to the title, I
think it's gonna be Jayalen Brown. But I hate the fact that Jason Tatum
is in the running. Well, I hate that. Think he's a run
because he has been playing good basketball. It doesn't do you know what was
for their top five? What was the latter was it? It was Brown?
Brown, Jason Tatum, and Andrew Holliday, Drew Holiday, then it
was Luca then it was Derek White. So there's not even two Mavericks players
in consideration for it, right, now, well, yeah, of course.
I mean Kyrie Boston got his number all up in his head, so
ruthless, aren't they. I don't even say ruthless. I just think they
just in his head. Kyrie, Kyrie Man, I have faith in them,
though I have FI I really did, and I just feel like this
is him. I'm gonna say this is no. I just feel like he
overestimated his he overestimated his skills to the point where like, I don't need
Lebron, and you obviously need Lebron. Even if you have somebody younger just
as good, it's never gonna added to what you had with Lebron. So
we know Lucas Lebron. So I've seen this on social media Instagram and it's
it's it's an ESPN poll. Uh. I put it in the chat and
it is the the best NBA Finals MVP bracket of all time? Did you
guys see that within the chat? Right? So guess what we're gonna do.
We're gonna pick the best NBA Finals MVPs. Well, I mean,
you said everything else late, so I just happened to that's probably because you
was watching TV seven fifty the Best. Oh, so we're gonna make a
bracket here with the break has already made, We're just gonna, We're gonna,
We're gonna, Yeah, we're advancing. We'll go ahead with Let's start
with the top right left hand corner two thousand and six Lebron James versus two
thousand and twenty two Steph Curry, twenty sixteen Lebron James, I'm sorry,
twenty sixteen Lebron James versus twenty two Steph Curry. Now here are their stats.
Lebron James is twenty nine point seven. This is when he was Cleveland.
By the way, this is twenty nine point seven, eleven point three
rebounds and eight point nine assists. Steph Curry in year twenty twenty two had
thirty one points a game, six rebounds a game, and five assists.
Who did Lebron play in sixteen? Was that the spur? That was No,
that's when he was when he went back to Cleveland, So that was
Golden State. It be Golden State. That was Golden State in twenty sixteen.
The block and the shot, if that's the Cleveland, If that's the
MVP in twenty sixteen he played for Cleveland, that's uh uh is that Yeah,
that's Cleveland Or is that Miami? I don't wait, that's no,
that's clean that's Cleveland. No, no, no, no, no,
twenty sixteen is Cleveland. That's Cleveland. I am going to go Lebron because
the pathway to winning that title was much harder for Bron than it was Steph
Curry. I'm going with Bron case. What was the question again, Jesus,
who are you picking Lebron or Steph for finals MVP in the bracket right
now? Twenty twenty sixteen Lebron or twenty two Curry? Lebron Bron. I
agree it was harder to win and Steph them they own Boston that series.
See how objective I was there? How you objected? You just said to
pick Lebron. I picked Lebron. God, who are you picking? I'm
picking. I'm tricking Lebron. James. I only think Steph Curry even deserved
MVP that year. I'm I'm not even gonna hold you get off that.
Here we go. Get that a Keem Elijah Wan from the nineteen eight,
nineteen ninety five when they beat H Orlando I believe and Kawhi Leonard twenty nineteen
that was the Toronto Raptors. That was Toronto. What year twenty nineteen for
Kawhi Leonard and nineteen ninety five Koreem uh the dream Kareem abdual since abdual elijah
Wan was that the Knicks? Or was Orlando? Oh? That was that
was Orlando? That was Orlando. I think the Knicks is ninety six.
No, it was a It was a Nickson ninety five. It wasn't Nickson
ninety five. It was Orlando ninety six. You when I came, Yeah,
I'm going, I came too. Actually, I need to just firm
we're given to the stats like you did the stats for Korean Haiquen. Anyways,
Haq Elijah Wan was thirty two point eight points per game, eleven point
five rebounds and assists five point five and then Kawhi Leonard was twenty eight point
five, nine point eight rebounds and four point two of seventy five? Was
Orlando ninety four? Was New York? Okay, ahead to me, you
know what, I'm gonna take that back. I'm going I'm going, Uh,
I'm going Kawhi. I'm going Kawhi to I feel like he literally that
team was just it was just actually it was just him, but it was
just him, and not only that, Haqum only got there because Michael wasn't
there. I hate your take. I'm still gonna stick with Kawhi and take
and Kawhi only won because of who wasn't there KD. That's true. So
I still like that Playoffs, I said, I still don't like. I
still like that's like they're run who who. So here's why I'm gonna go
with. Here's why I'm going with h Clay got hurt. That Clay got
hurt that Game six because he came back, shot his free throws and they
took him off the court. I believe that's that series. The dates are
all in my head messed up. But the reason I like Kawhi is because
that whole playoffs, they fought back right the seventy six or three point shot
at the buzzer, they were down two oh against Milwaukee, came back and
won four straight. If it was we all be drunk. But they still
beat the best team who didn't need KD. According to me and many others,
they still beat Golden State. So I'm going with Kawhi. Leonard Man,
I'm going with Kawhi too, you go on to dream. I'm going
with them to dream because he couldn't beat the bulls. So Jordan had the
gift hakem something. Oh no, just one was to make this clear out
of his works. Majority wins swim put that out there. Yeah, so
we do like here. So so right now it is Leron and Kawhi.
So next bracket, we have two thousand and three Tim Duncan versus two thousand
and six the Way Way. In two thousand and three, Uh, the
Spurs beat the New Jersey Nets. Uh. And in two thousand and six,
the Miami Heat beat the Dallas Mavericks. Now here's my thing. Oh,
we're gonna give you stats because these stats is kind of crazy. Uh.
Tim Duncan had twenty four point twenty four points a game, seventeen rebounds,
five assists. Uh. Dwayne Wade had thirty four point seven, which
is really thirty five, seven point eight rebounds, was eight and three point
eight assists, which is like four. Ain't this when he won with Shaq?
This is when Shaq went over. So I'm gonna go ahead. I'm
going I'm going d Wade, I'm going to d I'm going d Wade because
this waves breakout year. Because then because people didn't know this was when Shaq's
first year over there, people didn't know that Dwayne Wade had all that in
him until that playoff run. So I am absolutely going with Dwayne Wade.
And that doesn't take anyway from Timmy because Timmy is one of my top five
greatest of all time. Best power for it. But here's why I'm not
giving to Timmy because like uh Hakeem in the whack Knicks, they played the
New Jersey nets with Jason, they were not They got swept. They got
swept. And the only reason I'm not going for tim because Tim was in
a system that was perfect. Dude, Why are you hating he was drafted
though he was drafted, Was he not drafted in a perfect situation? No,
they sucked at first Robinson's career Twin Tower, Twin Tower, Twin Tower,
Twin Towers. Agreed, But I'm going with Kawhi next up. I
just want to know if you're the person who has the least convince us,
Like if you're going Tim duncan convince us. I'm open because them sacks from
d Wade is crazy. Them some crazy stats and it wasn't like that wasn't
even shocked team. It was real D way, that was d Wade team.
And he was like, you got a young fellow, because Shaq was
just trying to get more than Kobe at that point. Okay, so that's
a clear sweep. I'm going way because Wade put on the performance that year
he was when he got the nickname Flash. Yeah. So next up,
we got two thousand and seven Kevin Durant seventeen oh, twenty seventeen, I'm
sorry, twenty seventeen Kevin Durant versus Kareem abdul Jabbar in nineteen seventy one.
So let me just preface this. Let me just preface this before before you,
before you give me his stats. I did not see ball in the
seventies, so I can't comment. However, Kd's MVP, I don't respect
period frown, don't respect none of his. Why not because he joined the
team that beat let it go. He went to a super team to have
to win. Wow, okay, seventy three games? Really question, real
quick question, real quick question. Question is a real good question. Listening
to Isaiah you talking about you can't respect hit none of his championships. None
of his MVP is nothing. And then you want us to let the other
stuff go when it comes to Lebron, when it comes, let it go,
let it go. But but KD going to the go and say words,
you can't just let that go. No, I can't what it was
the weakest mov in NBA history of that time. But what is Lebron going
to Miami? I didn't like that either, But it's not as bad as
KD going to go to Stade Jesus Christy. Who you got Kareem abdul Jabbari
versus k D? Do you want to know the stats? I'm going Kareem?
Do you want to know the stats? No? Because I'm going Kareem
because we have we we have our one at the year we won. No,
No, okay, this is KD wanted that winners, Oh, Kareem.
Yeah, that's what the bucksaream, that's his bucks years. That's that's
a winner. That's a winner Winter Chicken Dinner. KD. Till you said
that, that's when we want our ship, our first one. And the
Lakers offered them all that money and he left, You know what, fine,
I'll take I'll go. I'm going, I'm going to well Cender.
I'm going to will Center just because Keith, you know what you convince me
going, I'm going there. KD. I still respect you, brother,
Okay, you do what you want to do, just like Lebron James does.
JD. Clearly he don't respect you because he already flopped on you.
Listen, Hey, lords to the to the city twic Lords to the City,
KD. Anyways, she kill O'Neil two thousand versus a Joker in twenty
twenty three, so I'm going Shaquille automatically they played in two thousand, really
quickly. Do you want to hear your stats? Yes? Please? She
kill O'Neil in two thousand thirty eight points a game, sixteen point seven rebounds
and two point seven blocks. Joke a joker thirty points a game, fourteen
points I mean, fourteen rebounds, seven assists. I'm going with shock.
I'm going shock. Give me the stats. Shack shacks thirty eight thirty point
thirty eight points a game, sixteen point seven rebounds a game, two two
point seven blocks a game versus jokers thirty point two a game, fourteen rebounds
a game, a seven assists a game and what year was this for Shack
again? Two thousand? Uh they beat uh, that was with the Lakers,
and if I recall, they beat the weak Indiana Pacers the end of
Reggie Miller's career, and then Joker, Joker beat Miami. Joker beat Miami.
Both of those teams were lucky to even be there. Give me the
stats one more time, sorry. Shaq was thirty eight yep sixteen yep in
three in three blocks and Joker thirty six thirty points a game, thirty eight
fourteen sixteen fourteen rebounds and seven seven point two assist some seven point two assists.
Ain't got none of them? Three blocks? Oh no, key look
thirty eight a gag, thirty eight a game against the Pacers. A pacers
sucked back? Did remember the winning forty three games? All of the centers
suck right now? That he going against? Yeah, going against Anthony Davis,
Cat, Anthony Towns. Now, you're just people great centers, not
great. Don't play center, Cat, don't play center. He played as
we are never nevertheless, nevertheless, power for now my will? Uh what
this is the song and the same that I'm gonna go with. Shaq Shack
is the most dominant player in NBA history. Wild. You do have to
think about it though, it's not it's cutting dry as you think. It's.
No, it's not thirty pacers, thirty with pacers. It was the
pacers. It was it was Miami, but Miami was the eighth seed.
It came back and beat all the top seeds to get there. You junk
mail, I called that joke. I call that spam. Magic Johnson nineteen
Magic Johnson nineteen eighty Is that is that? That's Bell? I don't know
him. Magic Johnson nineteen eighty versus Larry Bird nineteen eighty six. Now this
is this is everything. I never got to see those games. You need
it either. But I'm just gonna go with Magic because I like, I'm
going Magic next. You're not going. You're not going to Larry. Magic
was a rookie. Magic was a rookie and leading his team to the finals.
Enough said, And how the Lakers and Uncle murvh Doctor Bird, Uncle
doctor Bird, if you're listening, explain to me how the freaking Lakers with
Kareem Worthy, doctor Jerry West and all those stars, where anybody get the
number one after the fact, No, they drafted me. They didn't know
they were going to be I was just gonna say they didn't know. You
need to watch it. Okay, I'm gonna go Read, I'm gonna go
rint Max, I'm gonna go and in sign up for those guys were like
and it was just after the fat but to be fair, it was the
end of Kareem's career. It was like Kareem was near the tills end.
I'm going with Magic because he was a rookie. Give them I get it.
Kobe Bryant two thousand and nine versus Jerry West nineteen sixty nine. I'm
going Kobe. I'm going Jerry. Give the stats, Jerry was thirty seven
point nine points a game, four point seven rebounds, seven point seven point
four assists. Going with Jerry, And he didn't even say Kobe Kobe.
With Jerry's his thirty two point four four was it? Five point six rebounds,
seven point four assists, I'm going Jerry. I'm going with Jerry for
one reason. Don't say because he passed away. No, Well, thank
you for reminding us, by the way, rest in peace to doctor Jerry
West. I'm going doctor Jerry West because he's the logo. He's He's the
logo for a reason. Make no more, because the logo really should be
Mike. Let's just be real. It shouldn't continue. It shouldn't be doctor
Jordan got the shoes, doctor Jerry West. He's got the logo because he's
the logo. And no. Stats were insane in the sixties. It was,
it was. It was insane stats for the sixties. Okay, now
here's here's a This is a very good one. I'm actually interested to hear
this one. Twenty twenty one versus Michael Jordan nineteen ninety three. Next,
really, really, really, really what you mean? This is who they
picked and I love Gianna's, but this is who they picked to go up
against Michael in the first round. Do you know how crazy ninety three was
for Michael against the Phoenix Sons? Do you know? I'm sorry, yes?
Do you know how much work Michael put in that year? Hey?
Do you not realize that Giannas did the same against the same team. Did
you realize that it was the Phoenix Sons? Phoenix who Janni's put the They
were down two nothing, Milwaukee Bucks on his back, they were down to
nothing. Chris Middleton helped us get there Scotty helped him get there. I'm
not saying that. So they had to be had as they both the stats.
The stats are Gianni's is thirty five point two thirteen rebounds a game,
five assists. Jordan is forty one eighty one eighty eight rebounds, six assists,
the shooting. I'm going with Janna still all day that performance because the
only reason and the only reason I say, the only reason I say Giannis
is because Jordan had already did it in ninety one and ninety two and three
years hard three hard. So three pence is hard, but a three time
MVP is harder, but the first is even harderull crap. Three take championship
VP, but my first championship is hard. Three back to back m v
ps not not like Kevin Durant taking steps, not like Dwayne taking Lebron's.
Is that the years people got the lump ninety three, No, he got
the lump against some Pistons. That was six early. That was that was
that was like he got he got that in the playoffs. It's the Pistons,
but not that one though it wasn't and he got multiple No, remember
it was ninety it had to be ninety one. But I'm going Michael.
I'm going Giannis. I'm a hometown kid. I did I did the hometown
got my vote. It was got it, got uh a Kareem, he
got cut the hotel vote. I'm going Yann this one. I'm going far
less talent. This what I'm going. I'm going. So you're telling me
you'll take christ O this I'm going. I mean, that doesn't make the
bust. So what you take? So the will you take twenty twenty one
christ Middleton versus twenty nineteen ninety three Pipping taking Pippin. But again you keep
saying less talent. If you take away Pippin and Michael, the Bulls are
the Cleveland Cavaliers with all Lebron. Take away Lebron, it took us to
the NBA Finals. What Chris y'all forgot that in twenty one Jannis got hurt
and didn't play game, and in the he did not play. He got
hurt in the conference finals. Christmas Middleton, No, he missed the last
two or three. They wasn't even Sureley was gonna play in the finals.
Yes, status go back in check. I'm not talking about the NBA finals.
What I'm saying playoff was there all playoffs. What I'm saying to you
is Chris Middleton got us to the NBA finals. Yahn Is didn't even played
when we did Sea. I'm gonna tell you what happened. I gonna what
happened. I know what happened. I don't second, I know what happened.
We played the Eastern Conference Finals it was Atlanta and didn't play the last
two games. He got hurt. He remember he was questionable for the miss
game three. He missed. He missed three, Yas missed the whole later,
go look it up. Look it up, because if he missed five
and six. Poll up Statisians, he missed five and six Hens you're watching,
how many games did Yannis missed in the twenty twenty one Eastern Conference Finals?
Up statisician. I'm not saying that guys didn't deserve to be the m
v P. What I'm saying is Chris Middleton took us to the finals because
everybody thought it was over when Yann's got hurt. Yeah, because we didn't
think he was gonna make it. We didn't think he was gonna He shouldn't
even be playing, man shouldn't even been there in the first lace. So
you wasn't talking about nobody. I don't care what you said. We're talking
about the finals, about the finals performance. Janni sat out the final two
games of the Eastern Conference Finals with hyper extended knee and was questionable for the
NBA Championship, but subsequently played all games. Like I said, Middleton took
us to the finals. Give him his flowers, didn't need him. But
we didn't know that. We thought it was over you going off, We
thought it was over. I've made my decision. I have made my decision.
I made my decision. I'm gonna make this decision because I felt like
the opposing team was stacked. I'm going Michael Jordan's. I'm going Michael No,
it's I'm just a Jordan's fan. I just feel I feel like Michael
Jordan's had a bigger adversity for Senic Sons. You had Charles Barkley, Kevin
Johnson, uh Danny h Dan Martley. That like that was a stacked Phoenix
team. It was it was. I feel like Phoenix. I felt like
Phoenix was a good team, but I feel like going in we we had
a better team than they had the best record. They did, but I
feel like we had a better team. They had the boint. God did
they have. They did feel the Bucks play Phoenix. They Chris, they
sure did remember because whatever remember he dunked on we want him because he talking
about you wanted him to ja should have been played. Game six should have
been suspended. That was game six. That was game five he did it
was it. That was game five. That was game six. That was
game five because we were calling game seven would have been the Phoenix. It
was game five. We were calling for his suspension. Game six. That
was game five because it was right after the stills. It was right after
the game. Game five games he we came back to win games game with
the block. Game Game six was at home in Milwaukee. That was the
block and shot. Game five was the lobby called Chris Paul Yes, and
that's where he pushed him. And we were calling for his suspension because it
was very Andrew bog is okay. So now we're moving on to the second
round. Speaking of which, why is Phoenix always at the end of dirty
plays? What means while the Phoenix is not a whole dirty team, No,
no, and Maari did it to when it comes to us, Amari
did it to Bogi? Uh Booker did it to Holiday? Like y'all always
trying to injure us. Okay, I see, let's okay. So second
round, we got Lebron James versus Kawhi Leonard Lebron Kawhi. I'm going Lebron.
I think that was part of his I've never voted for Lebron, but
that was his greatest championship when he came back to Cleveland. I agree with
that, Tim duncan No. We got d Wade versus Kareema Adujabbar Wade,
Wade, Wade again Wade. We have Shaquille O'Neill versus Magic Johnson, Shock
Shock, And we have Jerry West versus Michael Jordan's Michael Michael. I'm going
Michael. Final four, we have Lebron James twenty sixteen versus Uhne Wade.
I'm going Dwayne Wade. I'm going King James. Tell me man he Way's
coming out party that I know, but to go back to Cleveland and do
that what he did. But but but wait, hold wait, wait,
wait, hold on, hold on holda can I say this say that he'd
be going to say he would have won the title regardless that year Lebron.
Let's not let's not overlook. Let's it's not about him going back. It's
just the MVP stat line. It's not about him going back, right,
So that's complimentary. Dwayne Wade numbers for a shooting guard was ridiculous, I
know, And they played Lebron played a harder team. Absolutely, but back
then due Dirk was at the top of him. I get that. But
but but don't don't forget this either though. The year he went back,
they that year with Lebron. Wasn't that the year he came back from down
three to one? Yes, that was that year. That year go Bron
got it right, got it? Got it? Okay? Uh so we
got yeah, I think that we got right over away. And then we
got Shack and Mike Gordon. Michael Michael, a shooting guard averaging forty one
a better team. You've already established. The team that the Lakers played was
garbage hot garbage. They play two thousand Indiana. Michael played the Phoenix Suns.
They had the best record in the league. They had Charles Barkley,
who was the m v P that season, and Jordan took that personally.
Charles, who I'm saying when youre going to get Jordan was Charles? Who
was it was? It was Jordan took me that personal It was like you
talking about Rex Chapman. Who I'm going with? Michael Kevin Johnson? Who
you see who you got? Come on, man, you got Shakra,
Michael got Shack. Mike can't win everything. I'm going I'm going with Mike.
And this is why I'm going with Mike. I'm going Mike because the
opponent You're so sensitive, Like we told him, man, I don't do
that. I don't care, don't do that because you out voted. So
now we got Jordan versus Mike. I'm he got Jordan versus Lebron. This
is easy, ladies and gentlemen. This has been another episode of four feet.
Is that the final two? You know who I'm going with? You
know I'm going with. It's all on you. I hate that I say
that, I'm saying I hate that. I'm saying this too. Okay,
well it's uh, it's uh. It's Lebron. That was the greatest championship
of all time. What are you doing? All you did not just pick
Lebron? Over Mike because he went back to Cleveland. I'm not saying,
that's not why. And he did the one thing that was only done one
time in history. That's not why. That's not why. Now did that
have something to do with it? Yes, they came back from three one.
They came back from three to one. It was the greatest playoff run
we've ever seen. I mean, not finals, we've ever seen. We've
never seen anything like that. If you could say that, you mister,
what do you think at me? Like that? Only time has ever happened
in NBA history, never never happened in NBA history. I gotta go Lebron
here. Now, was Jordan the greatest of all time? Yes, but
in this instance, Lebron, I'm sorry his feelings hurt. He won a
fight. You might it might go down to the parking lot, y'all.
Just so y'all know, now, this was the sp this is the ESPN
poll. H that was about like thirty five. You're gonna win one.
They might win one's sixty one or third. I'm glad that man pull us
off in Dallas. Make sure they dropped this episode tonight, otherwise it's gonna
be irrelevant for the weekend. But so ESPN winner was Michael Jordan. I
think it was Michael Jordan. I'm okay with no. No, I think
it was Lebron. I'm okay with the pick. I'm okay with the pig.
Uh, George k w everything he wanted a participation medal. Oh,
it was Lebron. Lebron won. That's what's up. Lebron won ESPN.
It was then ESPN poll. I thought we should do the same thing.
It's funny because we came we kind of came up with the same answer.
It the only time history has ever done it. I don't mind it,
but you know, to me man Michael and no six MVPs. But it's
all good. That's funny. But real quick bucks talk. Did we give
up on Drew Hollid too quickly? No? No, I'm a I'm a
huge Drew fan. I didn't want him to go, but Drew does not.
Drew is working his butt off over there, but he doesn't have to
work as hard. Uh. He is a role hold on, let me
finish. He was a starting star point guard in Milwaukee that had to put
the team defensively on his back or compliment Giannis over here. He can be
a great role player, and he's embraced his role and and Brown could take
on some of those tasks that he had to take up. We missed his
defense, Yes, we do miss his defense. I did not want him
to go. I rather see Middleton go. So I'm happy that Drew's gonna
win another title, probably on Sunday. It won't be the night because car
louis horribly So don't start rushing me. I'm not rushing. I'm not rushing
what I'm saying. I don't think. I don't think we gave up on
too. But he's about to win another title. And I'll never forget when
Drew was leaving Milwaukee and we were showing him love as we as he was
leaving, and we said, hey, the last time you got traded to
a team, you won a title. And it looks like that's happening there.
Not yet. Well, this is what I'll say to this and Mike.
They got one more games, I'm starting. I honestly do think we
did. I honestly think what looking that, well, looking back, I
think we honestly gave up on Drew too quickly. Drew, we've seen an
opportunity to grab excuse my language. We've seen an opportunity to grab the bad
bitch, and we went to grab the bad bitch, and we wondering why
that bad bitch ain't got no ring. And we're starting to find out,
like, oh this why you ain't got no ring? Your feet staying and
then you be cussing like a sailor. I don't like this. It's not
that you don't like it. I mean, she's still a bad bitch,
but it's just one of them things where he's like, but then you had
this little cute girl and we got rid of her, and you're like,
damn you over there married huh wow, that's crazy. You cook every night?
That man, that's wild. You do as laundry? Do? I
remember? You should do my laundry. I just feel like Milwaukee had a
solid team. And one of the reasons why our team was so they went
for the cuter picture. Yeah, they went for what was we went We
went for the Instagram model, popular with the Instagram model, and we got
her and not that Yannis thought that I'm gonna just say this again and I'm
gonna wrap it up because I do have something I do need to take your
business. But for Yanni's to text Dame and say let's go win a finn
championship. I get it. I've said this this season on this podcast,
and you'll see it even more next season. The Yannis Dame collaboration is not
a good one. I think it's not a good one. I think we
just had some horrible code, not a good one. So this is the
next year is gonna be. I like your works. Your works, go
back and listen. Since you like pulling up tapes, I know that's your
thing. And I quote the summer the Milwaukee Bucks are better with allis who
said that? I didn't say that. You said Dame plays better when Giannie
is not on the court. You said that, No, I did not.
You said that, No I didn't. Well, the records don't lie.
The record don't lie. I'm not talking about our record. Dame status
were better when wasn't on the court. Yeah, used to. Of course
it's gonna be better because you got more shots, but a lot. So
I don't feel work. I just feel like our team as I just feel
like our team was a solid team, a lot of chemistry and we were
missing and now we're missing out on that and we you know, those were
one of those teams that's going for the superstar that doesn't end up how we
think it's gonna end. It's very said. I'm hoping next year we be
better. I think it will because the coaching and stuff like that. Darburn
Ham's coming back, We're all happy about that. But I just feel like
it was just one of them things where we just like we went for the
we went for the baddies, and at the end of the day, we
still we still had we had a decent record. We lost our superstar before
the playoffs even started, so we was automatically a scratch. We was lucky
to get to too much we did against Indiana. That's so you lose your
superstar and we don't win. And on top of that, the second superstar
was hurt with another Achilles injury. I don't think we were doomed off of
injuries. Whether we had drew or dang, we still are doomed at the
end of the day without Giannis. You said that, you said that multiple
times, end of the day without That's why I don't understand why people are
trying to make it a debate about when we were still winning games though,
Like remember Yannis got hurt during the season when it was Drew and Middleton.
You can win games. You can win one game to win a series.
You need a team depends on the team. New York did it when he
went toem whatever. It just I don't know. I'm looking at this like
maybe. And every time this happens with Drew, everybody be giving him praise,
especially the NBA Finals. He did it with us. It'll be salty
if the Dallas matches will come back and beat the mic to the Cavalit.
Let me tell you something. If that happens, when I tell you Boston
will never ever win a championship again, that would this is Ohhenula is gonna
lose his job. Get one of them has got one of them gotta go,
has to go. One of them got to go. They let because
it's looking down the same team. But that coach, he's gotta go.
He gotta go. He's done. He's done. Five twelve minutes started the
