Speaker 1: What's up everybody?
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Draymond Green Show with my brother
Speaker 2: Baron Davis.
Speaker 1: How you feeling, my dog?
Speaker 3: I'm good, bro, just coming off my first coaching a
Speaker 3: you win and loving and under you our first tournament.
Speaker 3: Shout out to the boys, CALLI elite LA Unified basketball.
Speaker 1: What's up with you? My dog? You've been balling, man,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: First, Hey, loving you? That was your first tournament. That
Speaker 1: was our very first tournament. Hey, y'all won the first one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we won a championship. But like thirty, are y'all eliter?
Speaker 2: Was the competition not that good?
Speaker 1: The competition was good. I think it was a mix
Speaker 1: of both.
Speaker 3: Right, I didn't know, like like I wasn't expecting what
Speaker 3: type of team I was gonna have, right outside of
Speaker 3: like my kids, they friends and like some of the
Speaker 3: kids I coach are in flag football. But like them
Speaker 3: kids got game, like real game, like left hand layups,
Speaker 3: euro step, you know, everybody shooting threes.
Speaker 1: I was watching the Baby Warriors.
Speaker 3: I was just trying to get him to play defense
Speaker 3: man and pass the ball to each other because you
Speaker 3: know these young dudes, they be looking for them stat
Speaker 3: everybody want to shoot threes. Everybody want to, you know,
Speaker 3: get the highlights drew between you know, two or three
Speaker 3: people and make a highlight. So I was just on
Speaker 3: them about defense, contestant shots, rebounding, and passing the ball.
Speaker 1: That was it, and we won. I was I was
Speaker 1: happy for him. That's fire. So nice. Yeah, he gonna
Speaker 1: be nice. He's good.
Speaker 3: He's good, he's a good he's a good compliment to
Speaker 3: the team. He had four threes in the championship though,
Speaker 3: Oh you shoot that thing. Yeah, point guard, point guard,
Speaker 3: he could play point, he could play two. My whole
Speaker 3: team is guards. Okay, they all guards. Yeah, I got
Speaker 3: all guards. I need some big I need some big kids.
Speaker 3: I need some bruises.
Speaker 2: I think at that age, at the age of eleven,
Speaker 2: I think every basketball player should be a guard.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: Because even if you, if you grow and you become
Speaker 2: a big man, to have guard skills as a big
Speaker 2: even if you even if you grow up and become
Speaker 2: a back to the basket big man, to still have
Speaker 2: guard skills like in your back downs, your ball handling,
Speaker 2: like say you grow up to be a back to
Speaker 2: the because I think at some point or another, like
Speaker 2: obviously we see what jokers on and those type of guys.
Speaker 2: But at some point or another, like basketball going cycles
Speaker 2: back to the big man is going to come back
Speaker 2: and they're eleven years old and their lifetime back to
Speaker 2: the basket. Big man will definitely come back and say
Speaker 2: you grow like you're eleven now, but you grow to
Speaker 2: be sixteen and sixty eleven, back to the basket. Big
Speaker 2: If you play point guard as as a kid or
Speaker 2: just guard as a kid, it helps with your ball headler,
Speaker 2: but it also helps you.
Speaker 1: See the floor.
Speaker 2: So say you become a guy that's double team like
Speaker 2: to have that background.
Speaker 1: But I was the guard. You can see different things.
Speaker 2: You can hand the pressure differently, So I think that's
Speaker 2: important anyway, Like regardless of size.
Speaker 3: All my kids gonna have guard skills and post skills.
Speaker 3: I know you defensive. I know you're going for defensive
Speaker 3: Player of the Year. When I have to tell you
Speaker 3: there's no garden bead in the post, not even.
Speaker 1: Not even that is not.

Speaker 3: right something is not, Right, like first of, all it's
Speaker 3: a foul and one nobody nobody tells you to stick
Speaker 3: your nose and grown folks business meaning you don't leave
Speaker 3: with your face and you off balance and you. Foul
Speaker 3: SO i don't understand how you got an offensive file at.
Speaker 3: One then on top of, that they said it was
Speaker 3: a flagrant. File then they said you wind up and with,
Speaker 3: force like how else do you go to the basket.
Speaker 1: To them like?
Speaker 2: This oh my, gosh BECAUSE i ain't got bounce in
Speaker 2: the air like this.
Speaker 3: Anybody else like that was one of those anybody else
Speaker 3: it would have been oh you, okay like they would
Speaker 3: have called it a, one they may have called in
Speaker 3: an office. Foul but because it Was Draymond, green they
Speaker 3: said it was.
Speaker 1: A wind up with. Force that's.
Speaker 2: Defamatory and you were and you were one step away
Speaker 2: and you make the.
Speaker 1: Layup. Man that's why way that actually changes that. Game
Speaker 1: that game. Goes it's a huge, time huge, play.
Speaker 3: Right because it, yeah because it takes all the time.
Speaker 3: Away i'm watching the, game So i'm watching everybody reaction
Speaker 3: on the, bench and it became a, debate, right it
Speaker 3: became almost like a, debate and they deflated all the
Speaker 3: energy and it was.
Speaker 2: And that's crazy WHEN i heard that and a technical
Speaker 2: found the technical because BECAUSE i want the position, too.
Speaker 3: Because in that, case That kroen lincol dunk was a flasciphile,
Speaker 3: flagrant LIKE i don't, know, man that's a. Flagrant that's
Speaker 3: a that to be a, flagrantphile it's forth to not
Speaker 3: even be a one number.
Speaker 1: One he's running underneath me and then don't, jump so
Speaker 1: for it not to be.
Speaker 2: An one slip almost slip almost actually, crazy all, right
Speaker 2: that's that's.
Speaker 1: Fine.
Speaker 2: Cool moving on to then get A flagran. File The
Speaker 2: flagran file wasn't necessarily what killed. Me what killed me
Speaker 2: was the description explanations this man and he and the
Speaker 2: way he said, it the way he ducked like like
Speaker 2: deliver was, forced Like i'm just not sure how else
Speaker 2: to go to the. Basket that Was, yeah definitely changed the.
Speaker 2: Game like, nonetheless that changed a. LOT i, think, uh after,
Speaker 2: that it definitely was deflated and we just didn't have
Speaker 2: enough in the. TANK i, Think, uh The denver game
Speaker 2: was really a schedule. Loss denver sitting In San francisco
Speaker 2: wait on us to get. Back we get back home
Speaker 2: off a two week trip and have a game the
Speaker 2: same day we got. HOME i didn't make it home
Speaker 2: till like three o'clock that that. Morning and, nonetheless we
Speaker 2: ducked deep and we found a way to get that.
Speaker 2: GAME i think all of that eventually caught.
Speaker 1: Us, Tonight.
Speaker 2: Like the, energy it's just legs dead, legs like we
Speaker 2: gave over exactly like the first. QUARTER i could barely
Speaker 2: get up and. Court my legs was so. Dead and
Speaker 2: we go back on. Offense i'm just standing back there,
Speaker 2: watching like shooting shoot it SO i could be back
Speaker 2: here on. Defense but it was you. Know, nonetheless, though
Speaker 2: you got to get him some. Credit you, know they stepped,
Speaker 2: up they made something they, Do they made some big.
Speaker 2: Shots Jalen green had a really good. Game Dylan brooks played.

Speaker 3: Audio Jimmy butler Mentioned Steph curry That i've never seen
Speaker 3: an individual get filed more than he gets. Filed and
Speaker 3: one THING i found interesting was most of it is
Speaker 3: off the. Ball please break that down and why is that? True,
Speaker 3: well it's.
Speaker 2: Definitely true BECAUSE i think they first stepped just as
Speaker 2: much off the, ball if not more than they do
Speaker 2: on them because off the ball is where he calls
Speaker 2: it so much habit And jimmy with the statement that he,
Speaker 2: made it's very. TRUE i think he's always been grabbed
Speaker 2: and held off the ball because you don't want to
Speaker 2: get a step, beyond so everybody just grab and hold.
Speaker 2: Them and you, know it's interesting Because loune got an
Speaker 2: offensive file tonight where he was going in for the
Speaker 2: screen And loune says something to the rough and the
Speaker 2: rough something. BACK i, said, YEAH i, said the problem
Speaker 2: is it is an offensive.
Speaker 1: FILE i, said but you're just letting the guy hold.
Speaker 2: Him so in order for him to get a, screen
Speaker 2: he actually have to go try to ranch in between
Speaker 2: this guy grabbing him And. Steph he has to go
Speaker 2: try to wedge in between that because he's just being.
Speaker 1: Hell, so, yeah you can call the offensive.
Speaker 2: File every, time but if he's just going to hold,
Speaker 2: him then what is he to do as a?
Speaker 1: Screener you know What i'm, Saying, like you really.
Speaker 2: Can't get a clean screen because he's just grabbing and
Speaker 2: hold him and you're not going to call the first, file, Right,
Speaker 2: so uh, No jimmy's is one thousand percent true Like.
Speaker 1: Steph steph gets filed more than, anybody and.
Speaker 2: It is oftentimes off the ball because you, know as
Speaker 2: soon as he take, off if you're a half a
Speaker 2: step off his, body it creates a domino effect because
Speaker 2: all he need IS i have an inch to get
Speaker 2: the shot off and it's a great. Look so they
Speaker 2: just grabbing hold, him and he just keep moving and
Speaker 2: keep more and they just grab him and hold. It
Speaker 2: Hold it's. Interesting it's definitely interesting to say the.
Speaker 3: Least, yeah my golf For steph in the, playoffs it's
Speaker 3: ten free throws a.
Speaker 2: Game he should get ten free throws a. Game, yeah
Speaker 2: that's for.
Speaker 3: Sure he, definitely but HE i want him to average
Speaker 3: ten free throws a game just because he does get
Speaker 3: filed a. Lot AND i, think you know a lot
Speaker 3: of times the referees just kind of let it, slide
Speaker 3: right the, grabbing the, holding you, know jumping under around
Speaker 3: when he's, shooting, like people do whatever they, can and
Speaker 3: sometimes they let that go because because you're, you're you're
Speaker 3: greatness for a capacity outside of you, know no. Contact
Speaker 3: you can't hit a. Shooter you can't have contact with a.
Speaker 3: Shooter you can't grab somebody coming around the. Screen and
Speaker 3: WHEN i watch the, game he get, bumped hell grab
Speaker 3: pushed off his mark more than any shooter That i've
Speaker 3: ever seen in the. League not get those files the
Speaker 3: next four games.
Speaker 1: A, second one.
Speaker 2: Second you, KNOW i Think steph also gets punished for two.
Speaker 2: Things one is he don't talk to the rough rees right,
Speaker 2: like so they know they're not going to get cust.
Speaker 2: Outs they know he ain't gonna say. Much he may
Speaker 2: say something every now and, then but he don't say,
Speaker 2: anything AND i think that actually he gets penalized for.
Speaker 2: THAT i also think he gets penalized because he's not a, flopper, right.
Speaker 1: So he don't flop to sell.
Speaker 2: Calls and so it's almost as, if, oh he not
Speaker 2: getting fouled or don't matter because he ain't showing that
Speaker 2: he getting.
Speaker 1: Filed AND i think in this, league we reward flopping
Speaker 1: like and.
Speaker 2: We put up flopping ruling that you ever see get,
Speaker 2: called right, like the flop never gets called, ever it
Speaker 2: does not get called all, year but it's actually a,
Speaker 2: route you. Know but we reward flopping and flailing in this,
Speaker 2: league And steph does, Neither and SO i actually think
Speaker 2: it ultimately it doesn't really hurt him because he still
Speaker 2: do what he, do but it hurts him as far
Speaker 2: as getting the call and getting to the free throw
Speaker 2: line because he don't flop.
Speaker 1: It he don't sell the.
Speaker 3: Cost and speaking Of, steph you, know y'all been locked in,
Speaker 3: stuff been locked in before This rockets, game of, course you,
Speaker 3: know fifty two points versus The grizzlies twelve, threes thirty
Speaker 3: seven points against The, lakers thirty six against The.
Speaker 1: Nuggets seven.
Speaker 3: Threes he got an, edge, right now, right you know
Speaker 3: you See steph locked.
Speaker 1: In what does that?
Speaker 3: Mean, like what are you saying on a daily basis
Speaker 3: that's keeping that's getting him hyped up for these, games.
Speaker 2: Especially on your? Run what's changing? STUFF i think he
Speaker 2: said it early. ON i think number, one you, know
Speaker 2: him having being forced to take that week off him
Speaker 2: just to kind of get your legs back. Underneath but
Speaker 2: number two were riding in the thicket things like we
Speaker 2: right in the, hunt we kind of we control our own,
Speaker 2: destiny like to guarantee ourselves a playoff. Spot he said
Speaker 2: it a few months. AGO i just want to play meaningful.
Speaker 2: Basketball and after every game he'd be like he look at,
Speaker 2: coaches he.
Speaker 1: Say meaning for.
Speaker 2: Basketball and SO i don't think it's necessarily something that's
Speaker 2: hyping him up per, se more so than the opportunity
Speaker 2: to slays meaning for. Basketball basketball games that really mean,
Speaker 2: something and you, know like us going to the playoffs
Speaker 2: is a very realistic. Thing like so let's you, know
Speaker 2: you start to wrap up to, that you, know getting
Speaker 2: to that level of where you know you need to
Speaker 2: be in a couple of. Weeks and SO i, think you,
Speaker 2: know it's just kind of that, time like he's definitely
Speaker 2: been locked in and he you know He steph also
Speaker 2: we all. DO i don't with the, pot but you
Speaker 2: get to a point of where you put everything else
Speaker 2: down and it's just, like all, right it's it's it's
Speaker 2: just this, now and you know that's it's it's around that.
Speaker 2: Time so it's definitely locked in playing with that edge and.
Speaker 2: Focus you. Know i'm just, like what matters is the,
Speaker 2: games and.
Speaker 1: It's. SHOWING i think he.
Speaker 2: Making an argument to snatch that last spot on that
Speaker 2: on that LL nba team first team making a putting
Speaker 2: up a real.
Speaker 3: Case so, absolutely especially the year you've been having and the.
Speaker 3: Consistency you, know we talk, about you know the importance
Speaker 3: of consistency and how much we value consistency throughout the
Speaker 3: year and also the growth and so finish the, Year
Speaker 3: finishing the year strong is going to be super. Important
Speaker 3: and this last week of the season is even more
Speaker 3: important because you got The, suns The, spurs The blazers
Speaker 3: and The. Clippers you, know everything that's happening with you
Speaker 3: on the floor when you guys, play when you don't,
Speaker 3: play is really gonna determine who's gonna.
Speaker 1: Before eight, Ten, right.
Speaker 3: What are you what is the team, thinking you, know
Speaker 3: how are you looking at this? Week what is this
Speaker 3: last week of the season mean to?
Speaker 2: You, well, like you, know obviously we are in prime
Speaker 2: position to not only get in the, playoffs but we
Speaker 2: could we could possibly be the third or four, seas
Speaker 2: like possibly get a home court series to start the,
Speaker 2: playoffs which a week and a half ago wasn't even
Speaker 2: a realistic. Goal but things. Happened memphis lost some, Games
Speaker 2: never lost some, Games lakers lost a couple of, games
Speaker 2: and you, know that's.
Speaker 1: A realistic thing. Now and SO i think that's the.
Speaker 2: Focus and the focus isn't like we're not, like, yo
Speaker 2: let's get the, four let's get the. Three we're just, like,
Speaker 2: yo let's win every, game right control what we can.
Speaker 2: Control what we can control is winning every. Game and
Speaker 2: so that's the focus. Man going Into, phoenix they're coming
Speaker 2: off a long road. Trip you, KNOW i think they've
Speaker 2: lost quite a few in a. Row you, know like
Speaker 2: we want to when the team is, down you got
Speaker 2: to step on.
Speaker 1: Them you know What i'm.
Speaker 2: Saying you don't want to get our team, Life and
Speaker 2: so that's got to be the goal.
Speaker 1: There The spurs.
Speaker 2: Got to be the, Goal like you gotta be supposed
Speaker 2: To you gotta win the games that you're supposed to.
Speaker 2: Win we're supposed to win that. Game you gotta take
Speaker 2: care of. Business you go to The. Blazers they playing
Speaker 2: a lot better basketball as of, late you, know but
Speaker 2: that's a game that we're supposed to. Win you gotta
Speaker 2: go win the games you're supposed to. Win and then The,
Speaker 2: clippers he can wind up being yelling The. CLIPPERS i said.
Speaker 2: That REMEMBER i said that The. Clippers he can wind
Speaker 2: up being yelling The. Clippers so that could be a
Speaker 2: good snapshot of what you could see in The Western Conference,
Speaker 2: finals the way both of both teams is playing one thousand.
Speaker 2: Percent so you, know we gotta that's a game they're
Speaker 2: coming into our, place and a game that's going to
Speaker 2: mean something for, sure.
Speaker 1: You, know and we gotta take care of a.
Speaker 2: Business so four games that you, know not easy, games
Speaker 2: but no game in THE nba is ever, easy but
Speaker 2: power through four games that we buckle down and go Get.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's the.
Speaker 3: Power power through power to show up at That clipper
Speaker 3: game for, show for. SHOW i gotta be at that
Speaker 3: game that's gone that's gonna be a super important, game
Speaker 3: especially the last one of the. Season i'm looking forward

Speaker 3: something and you, know you just you just keep. Elevate
Speaker 3: like the big shot against The, lakers you have to
Speaker 3: clutch crunch time.
Speaker 1: Three that was, big but for me it was the
Speaker 1: still On.
Speaker 3: Luca, right those are the plays that make defensive player
Speaker 3: of the, Year defensive player of the.
Speaker 1: Year, Absolutely it's like A heisman, moment right, Right talk
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 3: Moment talk about that, moment because everybody gonna celebrate the winning,
Speaker 3: shot but not everybody celebrate that big, stealer that winning defensive.
Speaker 3: Play talk about just that play in, general and just
Speaker 3: what moments like that mean for somebody like.
Speaker 2: You you, know it's always fun to make those plays
Speaker 2: down the stretch because the reality is they usually come
Speaker 2: on A luca or A, joker because those are the
Speaker 2: guys that's going to have the ball down the, stretch Right, Ron,
Speaker 2: like you, know they're in those. Moments very rarely are
Speaker 2: you taking the ball from the third option on the.
Speaker 2: Team you don't have the ball in that, moment right
Speaker 2: unless it was like a broken play and somehow you
Speaker 2: ended up with the. Ball but like a broken, play
Speaker 2: if the third option got the ball on the broken,
Speaker 2: play it ain't highly likely that it's working, anyway and
Speaker 2: or fourth option or f.
Speaker 1: You, know like it's usually the. Guys, yeah the, guys, guy, yeah.
Speaker 2: Exactly in those, Moments and so to make those plays
Speaker 2: down the, Stretch like to, Me i'm always looking for that,
Speaker 2: moment like it's my, chance you know What i'm, Saying like.
Speaker 1: To do WHAT i do in the.
Speaker 2: Game HOW i can you know What i'm, Saying because
Speaker 2: every now and then you may look up and end
Speaker 2: up with the shot for a chance to win the
Speaker 2: game or toddy game or something like, that be off
Speaker 2: a broken player or somebody drove and kicked.
Speaker 1: It but more often than, Not steph.
Speaker 2: Taking that, Shot jimmy taking that, shot like and that's
Speaker 2: that's just what it.
Speaker 1: Is and so for me in those, moments.
Speaker 2: It's like, this this is my game winning, shot you
Speaker 2: know What i'm, Saying, like this is how this is
Speaker 2: HOW i can win the. Game AND i, love you,
Speaker 2: KNOW i love having those. Moments and so When luca
Speaker 2: drove In i'm watching the whole time waiting for him
Speaker 2: to see if he going to expose the, ball because
Speaker 2: if he, exposed if he if he exposed the, Ball
Speaker 2: i'm going for. It and then that in those situations
Speaker 2: Like i'm going to go for it in a way
Speaker 2: where IF i file you just going to the line
Speaker 2: for two free throws for, sure and at that point
Speaker 2: in the, game up the UP i think five points
Speaker 2: at that, time five or seven points at that time
Speaker 2: in the. Game if you IF i foo you and
Speaker 2: you're going to the line for two free, throws we
Speaker 2: don't care. Anyway, Now i'm not gonna timidly reach and
Speaker 2: like give up and an AND i ain't gonna do.
Speaker 2: That i'm going completely for the. Strip that's again right.
Speaker 2: There that's again. Yeah the thing that's going to happen
Speaker 2: IF i missed the strip Is i'm.
Speaker 1: Following you in your arm going, down so you, know
Speaker 1: to make that play.
Speaker 2: In that moment, though like LIKE i, Said i'm always
Speaker 2: looking for the opportunity BECAUSE i feel like as a,
Speaker 2: defender like that's the holy grail as a, Defender like
Speaker 2: as a, defender that's that's your heisman, moment that's your
Speaker 2: game winning shot like that's your and So i'm always.
Speaker 3: Looking for those, opportunities right and good, DEFENSE i mean
Speaker 3: good offense be good.
Speaker 1: Defense great offense beat great.
Speaker 3: Defense sometimes good offense beat great. Defense right is you,
Speaker 3: know we play offensive, games so anytime you can get you,
Speaker 3: know the game winning deflection of the. STEEL i REMEMBER
Speaker 3: i did that to T mac in the, playoffs. RIGHT
Speaker 3: i think it was Like game, one Like game one
Speaker 3: teammate game when it shot right AND i just came
Speaker 3: out of nowhere stole the ball and was it. Was
Speaker 3: it felt better to me than hitting game winners right.
Speaker 3: Now you, KNOW i hit some playoff game, winners but
Speaker 3: that was like the moment where it was like man
Speaker 3: like Team matt got the, ball like you, know it's,
Speaker 3: sober and and to get that's like A. Luca that's
Speaker 3: a big, get like so far a defensive. Person it's, like,
Speaker 3: OH i you, KNOW i got one of the best
Speaker 3: people in the.
Speaker 2: League it's just a big, notch a big notch and
Speaker 2: a nice big pat on the.
Speaker 1: Back so for the, game you, know AND i GOT
Speaker 1: i just Got.
Speaker 2: Luca come on, now it's always trying to make that
Speaker 2: past some.
Speaker 1: Of the great man like moment it's always.
Speaker 2: Like it's what makes him, Great that's what makes, hey
Speaker 2: that's what makes them.
Speaker 1: Great so to get that, ball, yeah.
Speaker 2: L, a you, know stars is out like, yeah this
Speaker 2: stuff everything that you.
Speaker 3: Like that was a high ticket right. There that was
Speaker 3: that was a high. TICKET i was about. That you
Speaker 3: know what else also like about The, dubs uh is
Speaker 3: how big cominging AND i call them p, UH i
Speaker 3: call him a warrior pH you, know, uh how they've
Speaker 3: been showing. Up, yeah, right Even moses he been showing.
Speaker 3: Up but those two in, particular you, know these last three,
Speaker 3: games they have been really, aggressive, right and also aggressive
Speaker 3: on the defensive, end getting.
Speaker 1: Deflections Saw comingian blocking.
Speaker 3: Shots laughing about blocking the shot like it looked like
Speaker 3: he locked in. Defensively and so you, Know i'm a
Speaker 3: firm believer that your defense create great offensive. Flow and
Speaker 3: you can tell in these last three games that those
Speaker 3: two dudes in particular have upped it on the defensive,
Speaker 3: side and the offenses is is really, helping you, know
Speaker 3: is a result of.
Speaker 2: That, absolutely the effort they've been given on the defensive,
Speaker 2: end is their offense is a direct under direct influence of.
Speaker 1: That it's kind of how the game working you, know
Speaker 1: like you give, it y'all on the defensive, end you're getting.
Speaker 1: Rewarded but they've both been.
Speaker 2: Extremely, aggressive and like you, Said moses as, Well moses
Speaker 2: kind of been stepping up taking that challenge of gardener
Speaker 2: other team's best.
Speaker 1: Guard you know What i'm.
Speaker 2: Saying, so, uh we need them to play well in
Speaker 2: order to make the run we want to. Make so
Speaker 2: it's good to see them playing the way they, playing
Speaker 2: as confident as they are postmen shooting the ship out the,
Speaker 2: ball which is which is great for. US jk been
Speaker 2: all over the floor, defensively he, rebounding and he getting
Speaker 2: up the, court you know What i'm, saying getting.
Speaker 1: Downhill so you, know it's good to see him taking.
Speaker 2: That challenge because when you take that, challenge as the playoffs,
Speaker 2: start and he's taking that, challenge we know what he
Speaker 2: brings on the offensive, end that's how you earn your, minutes.
Speaker 1: You know What i'm.
Speaker 2: SAYING i think at times we all feel, like, man
Speaker 2: you're just supposed to give me, something and.
Speaker 1: We all feel like, that like that's just a natural,
Speaker 1: thing you, know to fill that.
Speaker 2: Time but like What i'm watching him do right now
Speaker 2: Is i'm watching him go take, it And i'm watching
Speaker 2: him go take it really for the first time in
Speaker 2: his career where he, LIKED i don't care about nothing.
Speaker 2: Else this is What i'm going to, do And i'm
Speaker 2: gonna make it so you can't take me off the.
Speaker 1: Floor and.
Speaker 2: You Earn you earn so much respect doing, that you,
Speaker 2: know because, like like, that that was my, path you
Speaker 2: know What i'm, Saying LIKE i had to take that
Speaker 2: path in order to become Who i've. Become and so
Speaker 2: to watch him finally turning that corner and be, like oh,
Speaker 2: No i'm just.
Speaker 1: Gonna go do this and create my own.
Speaker 2: Situation you you really earn respect like, that not only from,
Speaker 2: players but you own the. Respect you earned the respect
Speaker 2: of your coach like.
Speaker 1: That.
Speaker 2: Yep and so it's beautiful to. See it's beautiful to
Speaker 2: see what he's. Doing you, know he just got to
Speaker 2: stay locked in like he's been staying locked in because.
Speaker 1: You, know we were about to make this run and
Speaker 1: we need.
Speaker 2: Everybody He santos also another young fella who's been playing extremely,
Speaker 2: well you know What i'm.
Speaker 1: Saying all, right he been balling, too.
Speaker 3: Scrappy he been doing Exactly it seemed like everybody been
Speaker 3: falling in the role and, saying, hey this is How
Speaker 3: i'm gonna show up and bring my superpower to the.
Speaker 3: Team and that's all you can ask, for, right is
Speaker 3: for everybody to make some sacrifice to put something in
Speaker 3: the pot that's going to make sure that this team is,
Speaker 3: solidified and that's on the defensive, end and then as
Speaker 3: a result of, that everyone else will benefit, offensively, right
Speaker 3: because you have superstar players on your team and unselfish
Speaker 3: players on your team one thousand.
Speaker 1: Percent so it's you, know the young fellas playing. Well,
Speaker 1: man it's great to see. This we need. It let's
Speaker 1: move around the league a little.
Speaker 2: Bit the four through eight race in The west for
Speaker 2: the final spots in The west is, crazy, really three through.
Speaker 2: Eight have you ever seen a race this type between those, spots,
Speaker 2: man it's.
Speaker 3: Crazy, uh you, know there have been races like. THIS
Speaker 3: i feel like some of it was last year or
Speaker 3: the year, before but this one right here is way
Speaker 3: different because it's gonna be all about the. Matchups it's
Speaker 3: all about the, matchups and this first round of matchups
Speaker 3: is anybody can be beat like the talent you get
Speaker 3: from you, know four to through, eight, right and what
Speaker 3: they're fighting for that four and are three through. Eight
Speaker 3: all of these teams have have have been in three
Speaker 3: at some point or two at some point of the
Speaker 3: season right or four at some point of the.
Speaker 1: Season so.
Speaker 3: You got a lot of teams that are deserving of
Speaker 3: home court. Advantage you got a lot of teams that
Speaker 3: play well with home court. Advantage you have a lot
Speaker 3: of teams that play better on the road versus certain.
Speaker 3: Teams so this race is gonna be crazy because when
Speaker 3: the match when the matchups turn, out then it's gonna
Speaker 3: get like you don't even have time to figure. Out
Speaker 3: LIKE i remember when we were fighting again in the.
Speaker 3: Playoffs we believe it was all predicated on What dallas.
Speaker 3: Did so they can take a night off and, say,
Speaker 3: oh we'll lose this game because we want to play
Speaker 3: The warriors right.
Speaker 1: Now can't. Nobody you can't position yourself and.
Speaker 3: Say, OH i want to be six or two SO
Speaker 3: i can Get houston or OR i want to get
Speaker 3: a match up With.
Speaker 1: Minnesota you.
Speaker 3: Can't you can't afford to take no luxuries cause you
Speaker 3: can fall a.
Speaker 1: Nine yes you, can, right yes you, can and you
Speaker 1: may have to play your way. In so you want
Speaker 1: to be a.
Speaker 3: Part of that that core six that this last week
Speaker 3: of the season is going to be some beautiful basketball
Speaker 3: to watch because people.
Speaker 2: Are gonna really be putting everything to have on the.
Speaker 2: LINE i think this reminds me of that. YEAR i
Speaker 2: can't Remember zach. YEAR i think maybe like mid two
Speaker 2: thousands WHEN kg was In. Minnesota they were the eight
Speaker 2: seed AND i think they won like maybe forty eight
Speaker 2: games or something like that and was a.
Speaker 1: Seed right that's when we didn't make. It, yeah and.
Speaker 2: You, know like last, YEAR i think we won forty
Speaker 2: six games and ultimately didn't make the, playoffs you, Know
Speaker 2: and so this reminds.
Speaker 1: Me of a year like, that you, know.
Speaker 2: Where there will probably be teams with equal, amount like
Speaker 2: it'll come down to, typebreakers, yes highly, likely.
Speaker 1: Probably Down treks. Sooner and so it's.
Speaker 2: Crazy BUT i was, LIKE i was in the cold
Speaker 2: of today AND i was looking At houston's the remaining
Speaker 2: of their. Schedule they played at The lakers at The
Speaker 2: clippers home Versus denver for their last, game AND i, said,

Speaker 2: You, know just and having an opportunity to share that
Speaker 2: experience with such a great Like mellow.
Speaker 1: Well. Deserved well.
Speaker 3: Deserved an interesting topic that, Yes jersey about to get retired.
Speaker 1: Too with The.
Speaker 2: Knicks it's definitely gonna retire with The, knicks AND i
Speaker 2: think it also should get retired With. Denver the REASON
Speaker 2: i think it should get retired With denver is Because
Speaker 2: mello spent just about the same amount of time With
Speaker 2: denver as he spent with The, knicks and what he
Speaker 2: did in A Denver nuggets jersey Like. Mellow when you
Speaker 2: think Of Denver nuggets and the Baby blue, jerseys you
Speaker 2: first think Of. Mellow is it Because mellow made that
Speaker 2: like culturally. Cool, yeah he was like the person making
Speaker 2: The Denver nuggets culturally cool and had a great start
Speaker 2: to his career with The Denver. NUGGETS i think with
Speaker 2: The Denver, Nuggets mellow sport like fourteen thousand points or
Speaker 2: something like, that like, crazy like definitely deserve to have
Speaker 2: his jersey. Retired AND i, know you, know everybody's, like,
Speaker 2: oh But joker got the. Number he should get it.
Speaker 2: Retired just like other guys are grandfather. In he grandfathered
Speaker 2: in and his is getting retired. Anyway but both both
Speaker 2: teens can be. True both both guys can have their jersey.
Speaker 2: RETIRED i, think If i'm not, MISTAKEN i think there's
Speaker 2: a jersey At Michigan state that's, retired the numbers retired.
Speaker 2: Twice i'm not. Mistaken i'm almost certain it. Is and
Speaker 2: this is a case where that should. Happen definitely should
Speaker 2: get retired with The. Knicks and the one, thing you,
Speaker 2: know the one argument that people will try to use
Speaker 2: versus the one argument that people will try to use
Speaker 2: versus mellow and is that all but the joker got, Championship,
Speaker 2: melo he won a Championship.
Speaker 1: Denver wasn't just winning.
Speaker 2: Championships but they won't necessarily use that with The, knicks,
Speaker 2: right they won't necessarily use that with The knicks because
Speaker 2: The knicks haven't won it so. Long but, man forget.
Speaker 2: That Mellow jersey should be retired in both. Places AND
Speaker 2: i hope both of those places we are the game
Speaker 2: and get retired Against Dwight. Howard name to The hall
Speaker 2: Of family as well this. Weekend shout out to The

Speaker 1: Can't you can be one in the last five. Years
Speaker 1: that's what it's. BECOME i don't think that's the spirit.
Speaker 3: Of the working because what it represents nowadays calling it
Speaker 3: a high draft pick on a max, contract but now
Speaker 3: he's An All star?
Speaker 1: Award do you? Agree so when when.
Speaker 2: J j said, THIS i was, like, MAN jj must
Speaker 2: broke up on the wrong side of the. BED i
Speaker 2: saw the interview and it just looked like he said
Speaker 2: it out of. NOWHERE i MEAN i saw his response
Speaker 2: and it just looked like he SAID i. KNOW i was,
Speaker 2: LIKE jj could not have been having a good day
Speaker 2: to day today WHEN i saw. It and THEN i
Speaker 2: went and looked up the list of who's one AND
Speaker 2: i was, like oh my, god why DID Jj reddick know?
Speaker 2: This i'm, like why did he know? This because he
Speaker 2: he got a Point like when you think of most
Speaker 2: improved and you look at these. Guys fifteenth pick yahnis
Speaker 2: which we can all agree should have never been a.
Speaker 2: Fifty but second, pick oh the, Depot Pascal siakam is
Speaker 2: one That i'd agree.
Speaker 1: With Pascal siaka got so much.
Speaker 2: BETTER i remember playing Against Pascal siakam AND i was, like,
Speaker 2: Wow LIKE i don't understand why The rockets got him
Speaker 2: at the Fort they kind of playing him in the,
Speaker 2: corner but he can't, shoot like and then he came
Speaker 2: back to next year and was nice AND i was, like, oh,
Speaker 2: man like, wait.
Speaker 1: This much better than spot and So Pascal siako cool.
Speaker 1: GREAT i.
Speaker 2: Agree Brandon ingram was the second Pick Julius, random seventh,
Speaker 2: Pick John, moran second, Pick Laurie mark And is seventh
Speaker 2: Pick TYRESE MAXI i can agree with twenty first. Pick
Speaker 2: did not play as a as a, rookie LIKE i
Speaker 2: can agree with, that but, like outside of, THAT i
Speaker 2: agree WITH, jj, like, yeah you.
Speaker 1: CAME i don't.
Speaker 3: Think you should be a lottery pick and be able
Speaker 3: to get most improved. PLAYER i think that should go
Speaker 3: to really second round, picks you know. People but the
Speaker 3: one thing About Brandon ingram THAT i do like is
Speaker 3: it took him a while to get.
Speaker 1: There it.
Speaker 3: Did it did take him a while to get, there you,
Speaker 3: know but even he was the number two, pick but
Speaker 3: it did take him a while to get, there and
Speaker 3: he showed, improvement, improvement and he showed a big. LEAD
Speaker 3: i think the same thing With John, moran like he
Speaker 3: made it's almost like you gotta make that big, lead
Speaker 3: that big.
Speaker 1: Step but when you're a high draft. Pick that's what's.
Speaker 2: Expected they, suspected like they drafted you to have for a.
Speaker 3: Reason so you, LIKE i mean it's just a it's
Speaker 3: it's an award that should go To they should do
Speaker 3: a little bit more, research, Right, like it's it's deserving
Speaker 3: for someone who made a big lead that even didn't
Speaker 3: even get the, chance or somebody who like was a
Speaker 3: second round pick or a la first round pick that you,
Speaker 3: know all of a sudden like got an opportunity to
Speaker 3: play and like made something out of that, situation like
Speaker 3: being a high draft, pick being An all, Star, like
Speaker 3: that's what you expect to, yourself that's what expected of
Speaker 3: you when you were a top ten you, know top
Speaker 3: top fifteen, pick really a top ten, pick, right it's
Speaker 3: expected to be an all. Star that's why they most,
Speaker 3: Improve like you know that IS i don't, know it
Speaker 3: should be. DEFINED i, mean they should just redefine all
Speaker 3: these awards because the accuracy IS jj was on point
Speaker 3: with that.
Speaker 2: ONE i gotta give him. Credit he gotta shut off
