Speaker 1: Uh, your second favorite team will be in Inglewood next year?
Speaker 2: Who he said?
Speaker 3: Who they should?
Speaker 4: Just you know as they go down the ingle would
Speaker 4: keep going, hit that full five. Get back to San Diego.
Speaker 3: Keep going, Charges with you, Chargers with you.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: We back unplugged our weekly look around to see what's happening, Jack,
Speaker 1: what's going on out there?
Speaker 5: To the letter, baby man, cool and nice weather. Ready
Speaker 5: to get out to the West coast this weekend. How
Speaker 5: you doing, you? Wether says, I ain't gona actually how
Speaker 5: you doing? I'm just glad that you found a possum
Speaker 5: after you moved out.
Speaker 1: Let me say that crazy bro I was moving out
Speaker 1: the newke out the old crib and a possum snuck it,
Speaker 1: and that motherfuckers ready for war had me on the
Speaker 1: counter with golf clubs cussing it out. You know they
Speaker 1: can climb, right, they can climb and jump and motherfuckers hissing,
Speaker 1: had big clause.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: It was all bad, but luckily we both lived to
Speaker 1: see another day. Well, Jack, we want to welcome definitely
Speaker 1: a friend to the program and our brother, but someone
Speaker 1: you're really close to.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna let you do the honors.
Speaker 5: One and only legend, pioneer in many ways. Uh, somebody
Speaker 5: who I consider a big brother, who definitely then put
Speaker 5: me in a position with something great, the Big Three,
Speaker 5: one of the biggest leagues in the world.
Speaker 2: So welcome to our show again.
Speaker 5: A friend and family member of the show, the honorable
Speaker 5: Ice Cube.
Speaker 4: What's that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yay, you made you made headlines last week some
Speaker 1: information that leaked and you wanted to get ahead of it.
Speaker 1: You announced that you guys had worked out at a
Speaker 1: possibility to offer Kaitlyn Clark a big deal with the
Speaker 1: Big Three. Can you give us the details on that?
Speaker 1: And uh, how'd that come about?
Speaker 4: We made off for a couple of weeks ago, and
Speaker 4: and you know, we was hoping to hear something back
Speaker 4: and we haven't heard nothing back yet. But we heard
Speaker 4: something back. We heard you know, it's tournament time, but
Speaker 4: it leaked, and so we didn't want to deny it.
Speaker 4: The best thing to do is just you know, let
Speaker 4: people know what was going on, and it's just something
Speaker 4: we we believe, you know, it's a great opportunity and
Speaker 4: you know, we believe that, you know, being a guard,
Speaker 4: she can playing the Big Three. You know, we've we've
Speaker 4: looked at our guards over the years and the size
Speaker 4: of our guards, and and say, you know, that's a
Speaker 4: position that if you know, if a female was to
Speaker 4: play in the Big Three, that would be a position
Speaker 4: that they would probably do best at. You know, it's
Speaker 4: too rough in the paint now, you know, I know
Speaker 4: it's some bigger girls out there, but you know, just
Speaker 4: not trying to deal with Reggie Evans and the pain
Speaker 4: would be just nothing nice. So you know, we just
Speaker 4: felt like we have a great opportunity and we wanted
Speaker 4: to extend the opportunity. And we believe you know, of
Speaker 4: course if she joined our league, it would it would
Speaker 4: lift the league to new heights.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 5: I agree, meet me as me being one of the
Speaker 5: pioneers of the league being involved in the leagues this
Speaker 5: year one. I loved it when I heard about it.
Speaker 5: I think, I know what she'll do for the league.
Speaker 5: I know she loves to play the game of basketball
Speaker 5: and as a competitor, and when you get a chance
Speaker 5: to make some money like that, you know, in a
Speaker 5: short period of time playing basketball doing something you love,
Speaker 5: I think it's a smart decision because as you play
Speaker 5: the game, you also want to make things beneficial for
Speaker 5: yourself and uh, this is a great this is a
Speaker 5: this is a win win for both parties. And like
Speaker 5: I said, I would love to welcome up to the
Speaker 5: league because if she came with my team, I'll make
Speaker 5: sure I protect it because I know where future is going.
Speaker 2: But just to have a.
Speaker 5: Part of the Big Three be something that uh that
Speaker 5: that would be unbelievable and something that I would be
Speaker 5: I would love to be a part of.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think it's it's, like I said,
Speaker 4: a great opportunity. The league is slightly different than when
Speaker 4: when you play you know, in the first two or
Speaker 4: three years where it was jail ball, you know, and
Speaker 4: so we've uh you know, it's still rough in that paint,
Speaker 4: you know, but we you know, we don't want to
Speaker 4: hacking the league, so we you know, we've made sure
Speaker 4: that the game flows. But but it's also you know,
Speaker 4: hand checking. It's also you know, hard nosed defense being
Speaker 4: played too. I think people want to see the players compete.
Speaker 4: You know, when it when it feels like players are
Speaker 4: not even com pete anymore, that's when you know, I
Speaker 4: wouldn't even go watch my kids playing a rec league
Speaker 4: game if they didn't compete. So it's really about that,
Speaker 4: and we make sure we keep the competition fierce. But
Speaker 4: nobody wants prison ball, so we you know, we we
Speaker 4: made sure that players flow when they go. But if
Speaker 4: you go in that plaint, you know, beware.
Speaker 1: I got a couple questions. Q One, the financial side
Speaker 1: of it. The top the max salary in the w
Speaker 1: NBA right now is two hundred and fifty thousand. They're
Speaker 1: saying if she's a top four pick, I think she'll
Speaker 1: make anywhere just on the salary side from seventy five
Speaker 1: thousand to upwards of one hundred thousand. Was five million?
Speaker 1: Is that urban judgment or was that actually the offer?
Speaker 1: And was it for one year?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: How did how did the financial side of this offer
Speaker 1: come apart, come together and break down?
Speaker 4: Well, we don't really want to go all the way
Speaker 4: into the and everything we've offered. You know, if if
Speaker 4: she agrees, it'll all be, it'll all come out. It's
Speaker 4: with us. It's kind of like an Ni L situation.
Speaker 4: You know, our sponsors are clamoring they would love for
Speaker 4: her to join the league, and if she joined the league,
Speaker 4: you know they would support the league even more. So.
Speaker 4: You know, it's a thing where we believe the money
Speaker 4: is there if she decides to join the league with
Speaker 4: no problem, because you know they're sitting there waiting for
Speaker 4: and so you know, it's just a great opportunity. Like
Speaker 4: I keep saying, you know, as the CEO of the
Speaker 4: Big Three, you know I wouldn't be doing my job
Speaker 4: if I didn't look at this and try to make
Speaker 4: it happen, because everybody's gonna benefit the whole league. You know,
Speaker 4: where we're enter away from profit, and once we get
Speaker 4: in profit, then you know people are really really look
Speaker 4: at this league in a whole different right because guys
Speaker 4: will be making a lot more money. So you know,
Speaker 4: this is our approach and our push towards that.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you because one you played in it,
Speaker 1: now you coach, and then QB, this is your league.
Speaker 1: Do you guys really feel like I mean, obviously, I
Speaker 1: feel like the game is headed this way, the girls game.
Speaker 1: I feel like the women's game overall, whether it be
Speaker 1: kyleege or WNBA is as big as it's been, as
Speaker 1: big as it's ever been. And there's always that talk
Speaker 1: can women play with men? Obviously, I feel not from
Speaker 1: a skill standpoint, because I feel like a lot of
Speaker 1: these women are just as skilled as men. I think
Speaker 1: what set men apart is the athleticism and the strength.
Speaker 1: So my question to both of you guys is do
Speaker 1: you feel like she can compete on a strength level
Speaker 1: with men, regardless of they're finishing the NBA or played
Speaker 1: overseas or whatever it may be. Because I feel like
Speaker 1: that's where the difference between men and women are. It's
Speaker 1: not the skill set. The women are just as skilled.
Speaker 1: I feel like the strength and athleticisms is what sets
Speaker 1: men apart. So do you feel like a Caitlyn Clerk
Speaker 1: can come in there? Because you know, boys, like you said,
Speaker 1: you cleaned it up, but boys in the Big Three
Speaker 1: are hungry, still hungry, trying to eat, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So do you feel like from a competitive
Speaker 1: standpoint that Cake and Kark can compete in the Big Three?
Speaker 5: I just feel like, for the most part, I think
Speaker 5: she'll be all right. I mean, it's just it's just
Speaker 5: this is gonna be a lot of situational basketball, and
Speaker 5: who she's paired with, especially in the Big Three.
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's if it's a female or male.
Speaker 5: The player, the four or five players you put together
Speaker 5: in the Big Three matters, right, because you got to
Speaker 5: have a little bit of everything to be successful. I
Speaker 5: think what she brings to the game will be a
Speaker 5: key asset to any team in the Big Three because
Speaker 5: she can shoot and the spacing you have so much
Speaker 5: spacing going for rebounds, people get lost and wide up
Speaker 5: with so many wide up on shots are given in
Speaker 5: the Big Three.
Speaker 2: That's that's right up for alley and pick and roll game.
Speaker 5: I think, you know, uh, if you partner her with
Speaker 5: two good guys like teams I put together, uh and
Speaker 5: other teams like if you partner her with like with
Speaker 5: at least a Leslie type team, they have pieces that
Speaker 5: can make up for her not being as strong as
Speaker 5: another guy.
Speaker 2: But her basketball IQ she can.
Speaker 5: She she might probably won't be Joe Johnson in the
Speaker 5: Big three mat but she definitely she will definitely compete
Speaker 5: and and and and do some damage out there and
Speaker 5: you'll definitely notice her.
Speaker 3: So cube your thoughts.
Speaker 4: So, I mean, my opinion is, you know, who am
Speaker 4: I to say? It's not up to me. You know
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not a basketball player at that level.
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm just glad I could provide the
Speaker 4: opportunity so we could see. But when I look over
Speaker 4: the years and over you know, basketball courts all across
Speaker 4: the world, men and women are playing together, maybe not
Speaker 4: at the pro level, but they're playing together in uh,
Speaker 4: different walks of life. So I believe, you know, she
Speaker 4: could play with the men. But like I said, who
Speaker 4: am I to say? You know, we have the opportunity.
Speaker 4: You know, I feel blessed to have this opportunity. Uh,
Speaker 4: and let's see mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Now obviously, you know, keep our fingers crossed for that opportunity.
Speaker 1: I'm sure once the tournament ends, you'll get a little
Speaker 1: bit more information. You don't have to give us names.
Speaker 1: But was she the only female player that came to mind?
Speaker 1: Were there other ones out there?
Speaker 3: Was?
Speaker 1: She's just kind of the first one you want to
Speaker 1: start with and see where that goes.
Speaker 4: Now, we've thought of a lot of different ones over
Speaker 4: the years. You know, this is kind of to me,
Speaker 4: the perfect opportunity. I believe her name is mine More
Speaker 4: we was thinking about and we was trying to get
Speaker 4: her to come out of retirement a few years back,
Speaker 4: and so you know, this isn't our first time taking
Speaker 4: a look, but this is the first player we thought
Speaker 4: that could come in and elevate the league and take
Speaker 4: the league to another level when it comes to the
Speaker 4: tension of the basketball audience. So you know, that's why
Speaker 4: it's a unique situation. Uh, And that's why it was
Speaker 4: you know, offer that we knew would get her attention.
Speaker 1: I don't know how far away we are from it,
Speaker 1: but I feel like it's coming at some point.
Speaker 2: Women.
Speaker 1: There's going to be a crossover at some point on
Speaker 1: the professional level. And you know, obviously for years they've
Speaker 1: talked about the disparity and pay in WNBA players and
Speaker 1: they have to go get second job, sometimes overseas, and
Speaker 1: we saw what happened with Britney Griner and all that shit.
Speaker 1: So this is an opportunity, a financial opportunity to obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of solidify yourself and jump so cube
Speaker 1: in your opinion, obviously, because the two leagues kind of coincide,
Speaker 1: your league.
Speaker 3: And the WNBA.
Speaker 1: I think the WNBA starts a little bit before you guys,
Speaker 1: but you guys kind of run simultaneously. So ideally, in
Speaker 1: your mind, how would you see that work? And let's
Speaker 1: go hypothetically, she says, yes, So the WNBA starts a
Speaker 1: month or four years you guys start a little bit later.
Speaker 1: How do you feel like that would work out with
Speaker 1: she in your opinion, because I'm sure I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if you guys have clauses. I know in the NBA
Speaker 1: you can't play obviously other sports, so obviously would have
Speaker 1: to be like a deal between you guys and the
Speaker 1: WNBA of being able to play both or how did
Speaker 1: you kind of see that side of the business of
Speaker 1: it working out?
Speaker 4: If you look at our schedule and look at the
Speaker 4: w NBA schedule, you know, if she went to Indiana,
Speaker 4: there's only one game that overlaps. You know, we only
Speaker 4: played once a week, so of course we would move
Speaker 4: our Big Three game so she'd be able to play
Speaker 4: in both. So we think we can work around the
Speaker 4: w NBA schedule and she'll be just fine.
Speaker 3: Sop.
Speaker 1: Before we get off of this subject, your partnership with X,
Speaker 1: the platform formerly known as Twitter. Can you explain that
Speaker 1: and what fans should expect to this upcoming season.
Speaker 4: Now broadcasting games in a new, fun, exciting way, you know,
Speaker 4: a little a little different. We could be a little
Speaker 4: more colorful on X than we can on CBS, so
Speaker 4: you know, you know, you know, our games are played
Speaker 4: on CBS, but it's usually two or three games and
Speaker 4: then we usually have two or three games left and
Speaker 4: those games will be on X And it's a great
Speaker 4: partnership and we're gonna redefine how sports is broadcast and
Speaker 4: have a lot of fun with it and be able
Speaker 4: to be very creative. And so it's a new day
Speaker 4: of sports.
Speaker 1: So any communication with Elon Musk about it or is
Speaker 1: it both your guys's team's kind of figuring it out.
Speaker 4: I never met him, so it's the team's figuring it
Speaker 4: out and got you. You know, we'll get there no
Speaker 4: matter what.
Speaker 1: Transitioning into music right now, Kendrick and Drake a little
Speaker 1: bit of back and forth. Kendrick took a shot at
Speaker 1: Drake on like that Future on the Future in Metro's
Speaker 1: album Cube Legendary has been nearly thirty years since the
Speaker 1: no Vasiline disc came. Have you Heard Kendrick's Voices?
Speaker 3: Two part? Have you Heard Kendricks Verse?
Speaker 1: And is a little bit of competiti if with all
Speaker 1: the bullshit that's going on in the streets, if we
Speaker 1: keep it on wax your thoughts on just kind of
Speaker 1: the back and forth and just kind of raising the
Speaker 1: level of music right now.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know Battle is always fun. Uh could
Speaker 4: y'all lead the Big three out of it? Though, you
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying and everything I don't want to
Speaker 4: take no, you know what I mean. But uh, but
Speaker 4: you know it's cool to see. Everybody got to watch
Speaker 4: they watch Date don't because you know, Drake ain't no
Speaker 4: punk when it comes to to you know, putting great
Speaker 4: music together and putting a disc record together. Kendrick ain't
Speaker 4: no punk when it comes to the lyrics and putting
Speaker 4: a great record together. So you know it's gonna be
Speaker 4: fun as a fan to watch. But uh, you know,
Speaker 4: if y'all really want to see something dope, check out
Speaker 4: that Man Down album that's coming out from your homeboy. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's what you look linking.
Speaker 2: They expect that.
Speaker 4: We're gonna're gonna drop it this June. You'll start your
Speaker 4: right here songs. You know y'all get it from sir.
Speaker 2: You know I needed for sure, without a doubt question.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously one of the most legendary disc tracks
Speaker 1: in the history of the game. What goes into and
Speaker 1: what your mindset like when you're going and writing one
Speaker 1: of these uh these Battle raps.
Speaker 4: Go for the juggler. Go for the juggler, you know,
Speaker 4: and don't cross the line. You know, but just go
Speaker 4: for the jugglar, But don't cross the line, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean? With no vassaline. They was pretty uh.
Speaker 4: You know the reason I came that hard because they
Speaker 4: was they was coming at me, you know what.
Speaker 2: I mean, a lot of foul up language.
Speaker 4: What they was gonna do to me and all this stuff,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. I had to let them
Speaker 4: have it. But I think you can't hold back. It's
Speaker 4: like a fight. It's like a fight. You ain't gonna
Speaker 4: pull no punches in a fight.
Speaker 2: You gotta throw them.
Speaker 5: So talking about basketball the transition to LA sports, you
Speaker 5: think the Lakers got a shot in hell to make
Speaker 5: a deep run?
Speaker 2: He said, shot?
Speaker 4: They always got a shot. You know, they always got
Speaker 4: a shot. You know, you got Lebron and a D
Speaker 4: and D'Angelo.
Speaker 2: He dope.
Speaker 4: But it's really, you know, I wish they would have
Speaker 4: got a big man. I wish they would have got
Speaker 4: somebody to deal with the joker. I don't think it's
Speaker 4: I don't think a D is comfortable playing you know,
Speaker 4: a guy that big a center. I may be wrong,
Speaker 4: but it seemed like when we won the championship there
Speaker 4: was a lot of help you know, White, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know so. So I just think we need those
Speaker 4: seven footage to help to help, you know, help carry
Speaker 4: the load down load.
Speaker 2: He played seventy games this season, Yeah, shout out for real.
Speaker 1: Seventy games and at twenty five and thirteen, I mean
Speaker 1: that's kind of been the knock is you know, is
Speaker 1: he gonna play is great?
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not complaining about a D. I just
Speaker 4: think he's more comfortable at power, Like, yeah, he can
Speaker 4: flow and go and do his thing and not have
Speaker 4: to bang and not have to worry about rebounds as much,
Speaker 4: even though he can snatch twenty of them if you
Speaker 4: want to. I just think that, you know, when it's
Speaker 4: a seven game series, you know, you guys know, everything
Speaker 4: changes because now now people can dial in and lock
Speaker 4: in on you, and it's a different game in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: So I just think we should have got a big
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 1: Transitioning with l A legend himself Cube, let's talk a
Speaker 1: little bit of l A slash Vegas Sports. Uh, your
Speaker 1: second favorite team will be in Inglewood next year trying
Speaker 1: to capture some fans thoughts on the Clippers move to
Speaker 1: ingle He said, who thoughts on the Clippers moved to Inglewood? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of kind of on a business standpoint,
Speaker 1: obviously gentrifying the area, bringing more business to the area.
Speaker 1: But you know, the Clippers are now finally got their
Speaker 1: own place. I personally thought they should have changed their name.
Speaker 1: But just thoughts on them kind of getting up out
Speaker 1: of Staples Center getting their own spot in Inglewood, Clipper daryls.
Speaker 4: Man, they get they should just you know, as they
Speaker 4: go down to Inglewood, keep going. H hit that full
Speaker 4: five back to San Diego and South.
Speaker 3: Charges.
Speaker 4: Why y'all messing Inglewood up? Man? A nice place.
Speaker 3: Place, oh ship justification? The motherfucking charges with you. It
Speaker 3: used to be a nice place.
Speaker 2: Juju whtrip o cold?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, what do you think about her? Oh man?
Speaker 4: She got game on the coaches. You know, she's my
Speaker 4: kids favorite. You know, they love her. They love her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, best female athletes and too.
Speaker 4: Oh man, you know, I don't know. I can't say that. Man.
Speaker 4: You know, we got least a Leslie in the building.
Speaker 2: Right right right, she went everything.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, they got a lot of work to do,
Speaker 4: you know, what I mean, I put it on least
Speaker 4: a Leslie so they can take her down.
Speaker 2: She's a woman, I think, Yeah, this is a woman everywhere.
Speaker 1: At a day and age where kids are, we're playing
Speaker 1: seventeen year old sophomores and seventeen year old freshman. She's
Speaker 1: a true eighteen year old freshman broke all Cheryl Miller's
Speaker 1: scoring records and the one thing about the women's side
Speaker 1: of the game, and she has to play I think
Speaker 1: until she's twenty two, so I think she has to
Speaker 1: play all four years. So I think she might be
Speaker 1: the one girl that you know down the line, could
Speaker 1: could change rules, maybe leave that possibly after a junior
Speaker 1: years because she's set to be. With all due respect
Speaker 1: to Kaitlyn Clark, Juju can be the one that breaks
Speaker 1: all those records. Because I got a chance to see
Speaker 1: her in person about a month and a half ago
Speaker 1: Cube and she was cold, the whole package, mid range.
Speaker 3: Place defense.
Speaker 1: Yes, to me, she's a stronger, more you know, sturdier
Speaker 1: frame than the Kaitlyn Clark. But big fan of Juju
Speaker 1: and definitely what she's doing, uh down the street to
Speaker 1: that see for shuow.
Speaker 4: Without a doubt, you know, it's gonna be fun to
Speaker 4: watch her the next three years. I think the NBA
Speaker 4: should start taking guys, you know, after they senior year
Speaker 4: in college. You know, it's like you don't always have
Speaker 4: to be one and done to be the greatest. You
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. You can grab some seniors sometimes
Speaker 4: that's that's mature and ready to play at this level.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think you bring up a great point because the
Speaker 1: league when Jack and I came into the league, there
Speaker 1: was Vets thirty eight. Whether they played or not, they're
Speaker 1: instrumental to the team, whether it be bridging the bridging
Speaker 1: the gap, you know, taking young fellas under wing. Now
Speaker 1: the game is so young and everything is based off potential,
Speaker 1: and that's why you see a lot of these young
Speaker 1: kids wipe out. And then for example, Haymi Hawks who
Speaker 1: went to UCLA played four years. Sposter loves them the
Speaker 1: fact that for everything you just said, Q, he came
Speaker 1: in ready to play.
Speaker 3: He didn't have to go through no learning curve.
Speaker 1: He was ready to hit the ground running because he
Speaker 1: had four years under his belt and had that experience.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it should be a four, but
Speaker 1: I definitely feel like it should be something because I
Speaker 1: feel like we're losing too many young kids in the
Speaker 1: mix because they get to the league and it's just
Speaker 1: a cold wake up. They're not ready ready, and then
Speaker 1: you know they're they're they're they're done.
Speaker 4: The gyms, the gems and the owners gotta they got
Speaker 4: a reward, reward, you know, players, that's experience, you know, experience.
Speaker 4: You know, they wasn't want and done. So what they
Speaker 4: they they three and done or four and done? But
Speaker 4: they ready?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh your raiders, yeah in laws. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: they looking for a quarterback again. I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: they got one, but any hopes for them this year?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, great new coach, you know, bringing in
Speaker 4: his his uh, his staff, you know, making making a
Speaker 4: big strides on the defensive side of the balls. Shot out, yeah,
Speaker 4: mad Max. You know, they just brought a boy over
Speaker 4: from from Miami. That's that's a beast. And yo, they
Speaker 4: got they that's what they should be doing because they
Speaker 4: got to stop Patrick Mahomes in the in the chiefs
Speaker 4: and so you know, they making the right moves. You know,
Speaker 4: I liked our young quarterback last year anyway, you know,
Speaker 4: I think they should give him a chance. To fight
Speaker 4: for the job. I don't know if they kept him
Speaker 4: or not, but I liked him.
Speaker 1: But I want to shout out an Tonio Pearce. I think,
Speaker 1: you know, he could start this movement. Also shout out
Speaker 1: my brother, my brother Foster over at UCLA, where they're
Speaker 1: starting to empower former players instead of dudes that you know,
Speaker 1: just strictly coaches these guys. And and to me, I
Speaker 1: feel like with this newer generation, it's I mean, X
Speaker 1: and nose is what would be important. But I think
Speaker 1: it's about relating to the players. And you can tell
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce has that locker room, he has that respect,
Speaker 1: and he has that love, and that's what's gonna make
Speaker 1: those guys play harder for him. So I definitely want
Speaker 1: to shout him out and his new opportunity being the
Speaker 1: officially the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's what we do in the Big Three.
Speaker 4: All of our coaches are former players. To me, you know,
Speaker 4: it's it's there's nothing more than somebody who's played the
Speaker 4: game relating to other players and showing them how to win.
Speaker 4: To me, it's just the perfect match. So I'm happy
Speaker 4: they got a p you know, hopefully they'll continue to
Speaker 4: elevate players into those coaching.
Speaker 1: Positions, empowering them, give them a real opportunity transitioning. The
Speaker 1: Bob Marley biopick One Love Holding Strong globally one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy five million in the box office. Obviously what
Speaker 1: you did was straight out of Compton. I think started
Speaker 1: a real move. Obviously there was things before, but I
Speaker 1: think you captured that era like people hadn't been able
Speaker 1: to do now and you're starting to see to me,
Speaker 1: better biopicks and better time pieces.
Speaker 3: So have you got a chance to see Bobs and
Speaker 3: do you plan on it?
Speaker 4: I haven't had a chance to see it. I do
Speaker 4: plan on it. I respect anybody putting together a bio pick.
Speaker 4: It's not easy. You got to find the right actors.
Speaker 4: You really have to dig into that material and reveal
Speaker 4: things that the public don't know. You know, it seemed
Speaker 4: easy to do a bio pick just just put the
Speaker 4: scenes together that all the people based on what everybody know.
Speaker 4: But people don't want that. People want to, you know,
Speaker 4: get behind the things that they know and kind of
Speaker 4: you know, understand those conversations really, you know, maybe get
Speaker 4: a new enlightenment on what the group was going through
Speaker 4: or coming from. So it's just not an easy thing,
Speaker 4: you know. Straight out of Compton was, without a doubt,
Speaker 4: the hardest movie I ever made.
Speaker 5: I seen, I seen One Love Matt and This Ship
Speaker 5: was unbelievable. Whoever did, whoever shot it was it was
Speaker 5: a great movie. I even watched it again a couple
Speaker 5: a couple of days after. Man, they really touched on
Speaker 5: how passionate Bob Bob Marley was about his people, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean. I think that's not only they
Speaker 5: did they touch his music, but they touched how much
Speaker 5: he cared about people and the person he was.
Speaker 2: And I think that's why they did a great job.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: We definitely gotta cook because you know, my fiance's dad,
Speaker 1: Danny Simms, was the first day that brought Bob Marley
Speaker 1: to the United States, So we definitely got to catch
Speaker 1: up on that and and and see that movie. As
Speaker 1: far as movies goes, could ce you got anything cooking
Speaker 1: or coming down the line that we could be expecting.
Speaker 4: You know, we're always working it out, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean, making it happen. No, we can't tell y'all.
Speaker 4: Let the body you know, I don't really like the
Speaker 4: brag about what we got coming because I just want
Speaker 4: to make sure it all come together and people you know,
Speaker 4: be hitting you, like, man, what happens to this? And
Speaker 4: what happened to that?
Speaker 3: So but you got it, but you got shit cooking though,
Speaker 3: of course, keep your boy in mind.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm ready, no problem to hear, no problem.
Speaker 1: Final four weekend coming up, Men's and women's. Uh, this
Speaker 1: is a big jack. I don't know how you feel,
Speaker 1: but and I really haven't gone out of my way
Speaker 1: to jump on the bandwagon, but I just feel like
Speaker 1: I'm more excited. We talked about this offer. I'm more
Speaker 1: excited to watch you know, it's Elite eight right now,
Speaker 1: you know, starting today. But I'm more excited to watch
Speaker 1: this women's side of the bracket, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: than I am about the men's.
Speaker 3: You know, you got Juju Watkins.
Speaker 1: I think she's going to get Paige Becker and then
Speaker 1: the rematch with Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese.
Speaker 3: Thoughts both you.
Speaker 1: Guys on just what the women's game, where the women's
Speaker 1: game is at right now, and and and these star
Speaker 1: driven teams and their chances.
Speaker 5: Well where it's changed that matters like me and the
Speaker 5: fellas are getting together for the women's games now used
Speaker 5: to be the college games. College teams, but we more
Speaker 5: fans and we know more about the women's game. And
Speaker 5: even last Monday when we did Unplugged, I talked about it.
Speaker 5: We had all four We had South Carolina, Caitlin, Clark,
Speaker 5: Juju and Page all playing right at each other.
Speaker 2: I was excited last money to see all those games.
Speaker 5: So uh, I love, I love what the games even
Speaker 5: you know my team is South Carolina, So I talked
Speaker 5: to Raven uh every game. Don Statele is my favorite
Speaker 5: people basketball player of all time. So I'm really I'm
Speaker 5: excited about the way the game's going, Matt. I'm excited
Speaker 5: about the games today, and it just shows that the
Speaker 5: talent of the girls and and they're taking the game
Speaker 5: more serious. They get more passion and it's showing in
Speaker 5: the game. And you know, look some of the stuff
Speaker 5: they doing, the moves they making them. We're more excited
Speaker 5: than some of the guys games. So I love where
Speaker 5: it's at right now, and I'm ready to be tuned
Speaker 5: in this evening as well.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you que We know you gotta run, baby, So
Speaker 1: thank you for your time. Uh, best of luck with
Speaker 1: the with the with the big vision you have of
Speaker 1: bringing these two worlds together.
Speaker 3: And man, we'll be right there supporting you.
Speaker 4: Solute much love, much respect, man, thank you for.
Speaker 2: Sure appreciation, my boy.
Speaker 1: Later, Jack, I don't know if you got a chance
Speaker 1: to see. Obviously, there was a big article in the
Speaker 1: Washington Post about coach Mochy, the head coach of l
Speaker 1: s U, and then Ben Blotch I think his name is,
Speaker 1: from the La Times wrote a slandered, one sided smear
Speaker 1: campaign yesterday in the La Times. What are your thoughts on,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously them, the timing of the piece, the
Speaker 1: fact that they're you know, in the elite eate now
Speaker 1: and they're trying to distract her as a coach and
Speaker 1: the team as a unit. What do you think about
Speaker 1: this because you talk to you know, Haley van Leith,
Speaker 1: I think her name is the girl from LSU, and
Speaker 1: she thinks it's negative comments are fuel from racism.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I definitely think there's a little bit of a racial undertone.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of you know, black women that are
Speaker 1: empowered and talking their ship from LSU, which I think
Speaker 1: is fine because men do it all the time, but
Speaker 1: for some reason, when women do it, it's an issue.
Speaker 1: But just thoughts on that whole LSU say situation. I mean,
Speaker 1: they knocked out U C l A. You know, obviously
Speaker 1: I'm on my former bruin, But when i saw the
Speaker 1: article the next ding in the LA Times, I'm just like,
Speaker 1: and I'm a big fan of what coach Corey has
Speaker 1: been able to do with these UCLA ladies and what
Speaker 1: they represent. But this is this is some bullshit thoughts
Speaker 1: on just you know, the approach and the way they're
Speaker 1: kind of attacking this.
Speaker 5: L s U two, Well, for the most part, we've
Speaker 5: been great ever since we stepped in this space on
Speaker 5: speaking on what we know, right and and I don't
Speaker 5: know too much about what's true or not, but what
Speaker 5: I do know is we've been on the side of
Speaker 5: people just jumping out there saying stuff about us, about
Speaker 5: us and hating on us before we even started our show.
Speaker 2: Now they eating they words.
Speaker 5: So so I understand how people try to shoot you
Speaker 5: down when you when you're on your way up, before
Speaker 5: you even get to to to to reach your goal, right.
Speaker 5: And I think for the most part, these same people
Speaker 5: that's that's trying to put this dirt on her now
Speaker 5: were same people that tried to put dirt on her
Speaker 5: when she was at Baylor, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: But she wasn't on this level to where she has
Speaker 5: outspoken uh female back players. Yeah, she she she she
Speaker 5: wasn't on the level where she first or second year
Speaker 5: that she went to she win the championship. So, uh,
Speaker 5: she's on a different level right now. But I definitely
Speaker 5: agree with Haley A lot of times when people speak
Speaker 5: on people like that and try to ruin them, it's
Speaker 5: built up hate and racism because whatever she has going
Speaker 5: on in her life, it has no effect in.
Speaker 2: Yours right, and and and and and and and and
Speaker 2: and the time of you coming up with it, it.
Speaker 5: Shows that she's living renfree in your head and you're
Speaker 5: just trying to kick You're trying to kick somebody at
Speaker 5: the top or get attention on somebody. You know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. Why they at the top. So I think
Speaker 5: it's all bullsh and Matt, because we have been in
Speaker 5: that situation before.
Speaker 3: I just never really understood.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna take injuries for example, what she's
Speaker 1: been able to accomplish what she's able to do on
Speaker 1: and off the court first and foremost, because I think
Speaker 1: people want all your an athlete. You don't man fuck
Speaker 1: that do what you want to do as long as
Speaker 1: you keep the first thing first. And I think her
Speaker 1: and her teammates have been able to do that. But
Speaker 1: then you hear the u c l A players, You know,
Speaker 1: you hear people talk about the ship talking he does.
Speaker 1: What's the problem with that? Men have been doing that
Speaker 1: the whole time, and all of a sudden now when
Speaker 1: women are doing it, it's an issue. Would be would
Speaker 1: it be as big as of an issue if it
Speaker 1: was a white girl talking that shit? I don't think so, Jack.
Speaker 1: So my whole thing is just like, why is it
Speaker 1: such an issue when women talk shit? And Kaylyn Clark
Speaker 1: talk shit and she's America sweetheart. I think that's great.
Speaker 1: And you hear UCLA players, some of them were quoted
Speaker 1: talking about how cool Adorese is off the court. You know,
Speaker 1: some motherfuckers are just dogs and assholes off the court.
Speaker 3: On the court.
Speaker 1: Now, I don't mean no disrespectful. We were both the same.
Speaker 1: We were dogs and assholes on the court, but cool
Speaker 1: as a fan off you know when we're excuse me,
Speaker 1: on the court, but off the court, we're cool as
Speaker 1: a fan. So I just don't like this slander of
Speaker 1: just trying to make trying to make someone you know,
Speaker 1: the bad guy. Yeah she does antics and yes she
Speaker 1: toss her shit, but her numbers bad. I mean girls,
Speaker 1: the walking walking double double. That's men thirteen if I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken. So talk talk all the shit you wanted
Speaker 1: to me. That kind of energy is the reason why
Speaker 1: everyone is starting to watch more given women in the
Speaker 1: time of day. You know, with all due respect to
Speaker 1: be on switch because now you see the Jujus and
Speaker 1: you see young girl over at South Carolina and what
Speaker 1: they've been able to do after losing five players to
Speaker 1: the w n B A, the big girl over at Stanford.
Speaker 1: You know the games we have coming up. You know
Speaker 1: Paige Becker off of injury. You know her and Juju
Speaker 1: are going at it tonight. So I don't understand why
Speaker 1: you have to make someone a villain for and enjoin
Speaker 1: the game talking shit on the end of the game,
Speaker 1: but also backing it up with numbers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know this is not a.
Speaker 5: This all due respect now of this to Dremond, but
Speaker 5: he does his job well, and his job is not
Speaker 5: the score. But Draymond could do all the talking and
Speaker 5: all that and have zero points. Tennis is ten rebounds.
Speaker 5: Why Reese came to do it when she putting up
Speaker 5: those same numbers and putting up points. So I hate,
Speaker 5: I hate how we look at it and like you said, yeah,
Speaker 5: double standing. But the proof is in the put Matt.
Speaker 5: That's why we're watching it because they have been passionate
Speaker 5: about the game and the talent is high.
Speaker 1: Absolutely the men's side will burn and Edney well, these
Speaker 1: two big fellas, big fellow already NC State ed Edie.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I ever got a chance to see. I
Speaker 1: saw highlights of Burns the other day and what he
Speaker 1: was able to do the Duke. I missed that game,
Speaker 1: but I've seen Edie play a couple of times.
Speaker 2: Stack.
Speaker 1: Do you think both these big fellas translate into a
Speaker 1: more guard oriented NBA.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think both of these guys are pros Edie.
Speaker 5: Edie is a big man that I think if they
Speaker 5: fuck around and get him to San Antonio, we in trouble.
Speaker 2: We in trouble.
Speaker 5: And I know Pop is Pop is licking his chops, hoping,
Speaker 5: trying to get him back down there, which he might
Speaker 5: not be available, but you know, Pop know how to
Speaker 5: make things happen.
Speaker 2: To get that old timid day feel again. That'll be
Speaker 2: a good look. I like burns. I can't lie. I
Speaker 2: like burns.
Speaker 5: He's uh, he's close to being a Zach Randolph. He
Speaker 5: just has to get in better shape. But his touch
Speaker 5: around the rim and been his moves around the rim
Speaker 5: is z Bo to a t. He is a big
Speaker 5: bully that can't be stopped, but he needs to get
Speaker 5: If he gets in better shape, Matt, he'll be a
Speaker 5: top he'll be a top draft pick as well.
Speaker 3: I love to hear that.
Speaker 1: Again, we haven't been able to you know, been paying
Speaker 1: too much attention to the men's side. But there's obviously
Speaker 1: some talent over there, but it's just you know that
Speaker 1: the women are kind of on front stage right now.
Speaker 1: Uh Man, we just dropped a special episode of our
Speaker 1: brother Rajon Rondo dropped yesterday.
Speaker 3: Uh we you know, welcome him to the family.
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to getting a chance to working
Speaker 1: with you know, his mind and and and and the
Speaker 1: way he sees things, and you know, build a couple
Speaker 1: of shows over here for him over here at this
Speaker 1: the ATSP family. We dropped uh Antoine Walker this Thursday
Speaker 1: on Kentucky Celtics in the house. That was a great
Speaker 1: sit down, jack Ship. By the next time we're on
