Speaker 1: Bis mcbiambo signed for the rest of the remainder the
Speaker 1: season with the Sons to play behind Aiden, and they
Speaker 1: still have Jamale JaVale McGhee. But what does bis mcbiambo
Speaker 1: bring to them that they need to sign up for
Speaker 1: the remainder of the season. Help me understand that one.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was waiting for a body. I have
Speaker 1: no idea. I haven't opened up a file on bis mack.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned. We gotta do my own work. We gotta
Speaker 1: go talk to you. I don't want to mend the staff, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because we don't. We want to know what he's done.
Speaker 1: We don't know. We don't know. That's all I can do.
Speaker 1: What's up, world, We're back? Episode was burning my brother,
Speaker 1: the big diplomat, Gilani McCoy. We call him j Max,
Speaker 1: We're gonna call I'm gonna call him Jay mcgarrest of
Speaker 1: the show. That's the only time I'm gonna says a
Speaker 1: whole name like that. Probably it would be weird if
Speaker 1: he did. If he didn't, Yeah, well we'll get the
Speaker 1: other stuff then, but yeah, for sure, shout out to
Speaker 1: my brother Matt. We're gonna gonna knock this out. You
Speaker 1: better get to it. I stay at his check. The
Speaker 1: Claisters back Clay, Yes, sir of the shooters, Yes, sir.
Speaker 1: Over there in Golden State, Man Warriors beat the Calf
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Looked you look good man For somebody with
Speaker 1: almost a two year layoff and considering he has, you know,
Speaker 1: extreme injuries on both different sides of his but lower extremities,
Speaker 1: he looked good. You know. He proved him that there's
Speaker 1: something to himself for the crowd by going taking it
Speaker 1: to the tin and getting that rat uh that that
Speaker 1: bang out. But he looked good. He moved well. Hats
Speaker 1: off to Steve Kerr for involving him early, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, and getting him out there, helping with
Speaker 1: his confidence to the rehabilitation process. And I thought he
Speaker 1: looked for He looked even better than I thought he would.
Speaker 1: I'll just leave it at that. I just think it
Speaker 1: was everything went perfect for him, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: from him going to the d League and getting his
Speaker 1: confidence to the level need to be for all his
Speaker 1: teammates to wear his jersey to the game to give
Speaker 1: him that confidence for him to start as well. But
Speaker 1: they also did something that they don't normally do. They
Speaker 1: introduced him last and it starting five line up, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So also that gave him an
Speaker 1: extra for the fans to get into it, and like
Speaker 1: you said, Steve got him involved, you know, early in
Speaker 1: the game. So it was a great night. But Clay,
Speaker 1: good to see him back, man, that the Warriors just
Speaker 1: don't look the same without him on the court, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So it was good to have
Speaker 1: see him back and to get a win as well.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, weren't playing well. It's good
Speaker 1: for basketball, see I mean, like, yeah, it's good for
Speaker 1: basketball's class back. It's obviously good for the Warriors. He
Speaker 1: fitted in seamlessly because of the Warriors system and the
Speaker 1: confidence Kirch coach Kerr has with his team, not only
Speaker 1: as a former player as a coach. But like you said,
Speaker 1: he looked good. And you know, the rest of the
Speaker 1: league got to be on alert because if he's gonna
Speaker 1: come back looking even just like that, that's gonna be
Speaker 1: a big plus for the Warriors. So we look at
Speaker 1: the championship team again, I think we have to, don't
Speaker 1: you think? So? I think if he's like I said,
Speaker 1: if he just does that, you know, I mean, on
Speaker 1: a nightly basis, he's good. He's better than probably the
Speaker 1: majority of the two guards of the league, besides the
Speaker 1: volume shooters, the guys that just shoot shots. But we
Speaker 1: know he got to split response abilities with staff, and
Speaker 1: I think if he if he comes out and just
Speaker 1: does the Clay thing or just that and keeps improving,
Speaker 1: then they got to be there considered for the be
Speaker 1: tied for the best record in the league, best team
Speaker 1: in the league with Phoenix, and to give a player
Speaker 1: like Clay back, I have to say that the championship
Speaker 1: with tend to now no doubt, no doubt. So yeah,
Speaker 1: real quick story a Clay. I'll remember a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago working out in Orange County with Ryan Forehand.
Speaker 1: Kelly was actually on the Brooklyn Nets staff. We worked
Speaker 1: Clay out for about an hour right before he got drafted,
Speaker 1: just talking to about the draft process. He has slid
Speaker 1: in a little bit in the draft. If you follow
Speaker 1: Clay's history, you know you know why. Um, but we
Speaker 1: shot for an hour and my man missed stack. No bullshit,
Speaker 1: my man, there's two shots in the hour and the
Speaker 1: misses of us talking about the draft process and what
Speaker 1: to expect, and you know, him putting up you know,
Speaker 1: hundreds of shots going in the difference to different angles
Speaker 1: and spots. He missed two shots in the hour and
Speaker 1: we looked up at about forty five just realized, man,
Speaker 1: is it is this man? Really? Are we really feeding
Speaker 1: him and talking to him? And he just continually knocking
Speaker 1: down shots and was effortlessly The way move was robotic,
Speaker 1: almost Frankenstein in show. It's a lot like what we
Speaker 1: see you know now, But he even had that before
Speaker 1: the draft. So that's just a quick little anecdote on
Speaker 1: clay He's always been this guy, you know, the sky's
Speaker 1: the limit. Form we help he stays healthy. So with
Speaker 1: clay being back, you know, we've we've seen guys get
Speaker 1: injured and never be the same player again. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that they scared to trust that injury again.
Speaker 1: But Clayton had that problem. He showed right up. He
Speaker 1: went to jump, jumped off the leg for a dunk.
Speaker 1: You know, he came out real aggressive. What you think
Speaker 1: his mind his mindset is to come out so confident
Speaker 1: after those two you know, bad injuries. I think that's
Speaker 1: just who he is. He's a hooper at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. I think you know, we've seen Clay
Speaker 1: on social media. I think he's a pretty simple guy.
Speaker 1: You know, basketball what he likes to do with his
Speaker 1: friends and family. And that's about it. And start. You've
Speaker 1: played through a myriad of the injuries to your career,
Speaker 1: whether it be the Big Three or the NBA, so
Speaker 1: you can and you've been performing at a high level.
Speaker 1: You've been a score a lot like Clay, So I
Speaker 1: think you can speak to like you would be a great,
Speaker 1: perfect person to speak to what my frame you have
Speaker 1: to be to come back from an injury, to keep
Speaker 1: your confidence, not with just you only your shot, but
Speaker 1: like like your body, because you need your body to
Speaker 1: make a shot as a shooter. Score. And you one
Speaker 1: thing about Clay, he don't need no dribbles to get off.
Speaker 1: You know that. You know that's a good that's a
Speaker 1: good thing. But I think it's all about it. It's
Speaker 1: all about the person you are, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I've seen all stars get injured and never come back
Speaker 1: because they don't have that confidence to push themselves or
Speaker 1: they don't they're they're too scared to get injured again,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And they would and I guarantee.
Speaker 1: A lot of them sitting home thinking like, damn, I
Speaker 1: wish I would have trust myself, because you know so
Speaker 1: you'll never get that time back. I love the confidence
Speaker 1: that Clay came out with, and but you gotta think, though, man,
Speaker 1: when you when the game is taken away from me
Speaker 1: for two years and you get an opportunity to get
Speaker 1: back out there, you don't care about nothing else but
Speaker 1: just being out there. Whatever happen has happened, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And how bad could it get with Clay?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, He's been you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, but you have you have to
Speaker 1: be mentally strong to to understand, especially the role he
Speaker 1: has on that team. He ain't coming in as a
Speaker 1: guy who was hurt and coming in the player bench role.
Speaker 1: This is a big piece of the puzzle for them,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, coming back confidence. I know
Speaker 1: that put that dunk and all that, they put a
Speaker 1: smile on everybody face. Status check. Nelson Bulls Wednesday night,
Speaker 1: Kyrie's third game back, Kyrie read now all right. There
Speaker 1: was a lot of talking about, you know what Kyrie
Speaker 1: was gonna do with his you know, his personal situation
Speaker 1: seems like, you know, he's like he's always you know,
Speaker 1: he's obviously going to be half to halfway there. But
Speaker 1: I mean, Kyrie, as soon as he stepped back on
Speaker 1: the court and didn't seem like nobody was calling his
Speaker 1: bluff for had anything to say about it. You tell me, Stack,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm on Kyrie, that's nothing, broke man.
Speaker 1: I talked to him the whole time. I'm just happy
Speaker 1: to see him back on the court, it, you know,
Speaker 1: And I'm really excited to see this game. These are
Speaker 1: two of the top teams in the East, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. The way the Bulls are playing right
Speaker 1: now is like a scary The Bulls red hot one
Speaker 1: nine of their last ten games. The matchups Kyrie Ball,
Speaker 1: what is it go? What do they call New York
Speaker 1: and Chicago? What is it Gothaman? What is what are
Speaker 1: they called the New York and Gotham in Chicago? Windy
Speaker 1: City or whatever that? Whatever that is? The rival between
Speaker 1: New York and Chicago should be turned up a level
Speaker 1: because Chicago's obviously playing out of the different Bulls team way,
Speaker 1: different Bulls way. There a lot a lot towards the
Speaker 1: talent that they had in the nineties, the depths that
Speaker 1: they had, the different skill positions, skilled position players that
Speaker 1: can play a couple of different positions. It's a lot
Speaker 1: like the old nineties Bulle teams with Tony Good coach
Speaker 1: and other people that come in and know they're role.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that Chicago Nets matchup. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be a monster. Who you got one of? Now, I'm
Speaker 1: mean Chicago, this is beautiful and everything, But I have
Speaker 1: whatever they figure out, if they're gonna get those three
Speaker 1: players on the team, I'll accord. At the same time,
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, it's a it's a rap for everybody playoff series.
Speaker 1: But Kyrie can't play home games? How did what's your
Speaker 1: paying on that one? Then it's gonna live pay? Then
Speaker 1: we got up page, you know what I mean? That
Speaker 1: the line is gonna change. But I mean, obviously, if
Speaker 1: Kyrie is not going to be available, that's you know,
Speaker 1: the matchup between Lonzo Ball and him and Kobe White,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They got some good pgs
Speaker 1: for him to be a great test for Kyrie coming
Speaker 1: up on Wednesday. But overall in the series, if they
Speaker 1: got those three monsters, and I'm going with Brooklyn. All right,
Speaker 1: Next up MAVs and Grizzlies Friday Lord two of the
Speaker 1: top point guards in the league. Luca h fourth the
Speaker 1: fifth seed in the West. What's your take on this game?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's Luca. It's Luca versus Job.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk who's the better point
Speaker 1: guard and who's the top five point guard. You know,
Speaker 1: Lucas has some m v P s talks uh jaws
Speaker 1: playing out of his mind as it pertains that even
Speaker 1: to the last twenty four hours and beyond. So we
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier. He might be taking that step
Speaker 1: to earning another nickname. We've seen Flash do it, We've
Speaker 1: seen Kobe doo it. You know, this might be his
Speaker 1: official step into earning his moniker or new nickname. If
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Job, it's gonna be the big whatever
Speaker 1: it is. If Shot don't give him a nickname. It
Speaker 1: seems like now he's turned into that, that that's happening.
Speaker 1: So both of those guys our stars in this league
Speaker 1: right now. Yes, we've been talking about Luca as m
Speaker 1: v P. He's been an m VP conversation last two
Speaker 1: or three years. We're just starting to talk about John
Speaker 1: in the All Star talk. Which one of these players
Speaker 1: would you start your franchise with. I just don't know.
Speaker 1: With the with the with the recent ongoings of what
Speaker 1: Jab is doing, and after him, you know, going and
Speaker 1: boot at home in Memphis and then coming out of
Speaker 1: that and then send in to this next level. It
Speaker 1: seems like, you know, these younger kids that got social media,
Speaker 1: so they hear all that. Ship if there's somebody saying
Speaker 1: that in the comments, you know, they see that on
Speaker 1: the way to the game probably and they on their
Speaker 1: way out to here to the court to get to business.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with Job
Speaker 1: because of the youth. Luca got a lot of miles
Speaker 1: before the NBA question, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Over there real Madrid, you got the European uh, but
Speaker 1: you can't get the European mile. You never get those.
Speaker 1: But Jaws already coming back from injuries sooner, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, improving his game after the layoff, after
Speaker 1: he gets some rest. So right now as it currently
Speaker 1: is with me, I'm gonna go with Job. With me,
Speaker 1: I have to go with Job too for the simple
Speaker 1: effect that he gives you more. You know, we know
Speaker 1: what Luken do. He's a problem on office event. He's
Speaker 1: a great playmaker, but jobs both of those things too,
Speaker 1: And he's an athlete and he's a defender. So he
Speaker 1: gives you more right now at the point of opposition.
Speaker 1: And that's what you need, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: You need that from a guy like him. So I
Speaker 1: have to go with you to speaking of defense, and
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's hard on Luca because he's got
Speaker 1: so many dynamic point guards he has to guard every night,
Speaker 1: from Jaw to uh CP three is just there's just
Speaker 1: no hiding at the one spot in the league right now.
Speaker 1: And I know small ball is the you know, it's
Speaker 1: the apple that everybody's eye right now. But who does
Speaker 1: Luca guard defensively? Stack? You know what I mean? Give
Speaker 1: me your your take on that. As a defender who
Speaker 1: has some offensive scoring responsibilities, and it's not like he
Speaker 1: can go lock up and then not hide the fact
Speaker 1: he still has to score twenty five points a game.
Speaker 1: So Jaws giving you something on the defensive end with
Speaker 1: his athleticism, with this commitment to defense, Luka really really
Speaker 1: don't know what that looks like. How does that play
Speaker 1: out in your eyes? Yeah, Well we know Lucas not
Speaker 1: a great defender, but we see that on multiple teams.
Speaker 1: So if we're gonna hold him accountable, we got a
Speaker 1: whole golden steak because they hide stuff a lot, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, That CP a lot too, So
Speaker 1: different different teams do that. Now. When we're playing, it
Speaker 1: was you couldn't hide nowhere, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Remember playing for Don Nelson when we play. Every time
Speaker 1: he played against Phoenix, it didn't matter who Steve Nash guarded,
Speaker 1: go post up and if he don't get the ball,
Speaker 1: there he taking you out of the game. Talking about
Speaker 1: every possession down to they take him out right. So
Speaker 1: but they don't do that now. And uh, and you
Speaker 1: have guys, well you can put stuff on a player
Speaker 1: because this guy is not going to be as aggressive
Speaker 1: as other guys. Now. Back then everybody being aggressive, So
Speaker 1: you can't really you can't really fought him for that,
Speaker 1: you know. I think there's a lot of teams in
Speaker 1: the league playing that way, but he's definitely not the
Speaker 1: defendant the Giants. I'll add to that. I'll say one
Speaker 1: thing when we play, like even the non shooters if
Speaker 1: you guy, if that got swung around to you, and
Speaker 1: even you asn't a round shooter, they got pissed when
Speaker 1: you didn't shoot it right. Nowadays, it feels like you
Speaker 1: got so many specialists. When you know you're a non shooter.
Speaker 1: You can just kick and they're good with that. But
Speaker 1: you got to develop a player when you're there to
Speaker 1: coach on the professional level, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: When we're in the nineties, it seemed like the development
Speaker 1: seemed a little deeper through the roster. Now seems a
Speaker 1: little top heavy. Come in as especialist, you defend, you defend,
Speaker 1: you don't shoot the ball. If you're a big deal,
Speaker 1: you screen, you roll, you shoot one dimensional eighties. All
Speaker 1: five players on the on the court has skills. Ninety
Speaker 1: was starting to, you know, get a little into it
Speaker 1: the specialist. But I feel like now there's so many
Speaker 1: specialists now that they can hide the development well. I
Speaker 1: mean when we talk about with defense with Luca, you know,
Speaker 1: I think having Brunson has been a plus for them
Speaker 1: because he's tough nose, he a dog, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And when you're going up against great point guards,
Speaker 1: you know, like Steph curR and Chris Paul. You're gonna
Speaker 1: need that dog. I think that's a great way that
Speaker 1: they've been hiding Luca as well. But you can't go
Speaker 1: be hid baby to hide now against teams like Golden State,
Speaker 1: because now you're gonna have to guard Clay or somebody
Speaker 1: Pool or somebody, so, you know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: think they need to force him to guard someone now
Speaker 1: because when it comes to the playoffs, it's gonna look
Speaker 1: so foreign to I was thinking the same thing in
Speaker 1: the seven game series. They might want to get ahead
Speaker 1: of that now. Just he doesn't have to be a
Speaker 1: lot down defender. He just has to stay in front, compete,
Speaker 1: and just stay in front of the guard he's he's
Speaker 1: matched up against, you know, the one guard we're not.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows how hard it is to stop at NBA
Speaker 1: point guard. But if he could just stay with his matchup,
Speaker 1: I think it had helped the MAVs. And you hit
Speaker 1: it right on the head, Jalen. Jalen Brunson is doing
Speaker 1: a lot Black East snow did Philadelphia. You're off of
Speaker 1: him defensively facilitated offensively, you know what I mean? Runs
Speaker 1: and is Patrick Beverley with offensive game moves and moves
Speaker 1: and left and his dad who he come from good Stock, Villanova.
Speaker 1: They you know, they running through the wall in practice.
Speaker 1: So you know that it all came together at the
Speaker 1: right pot. J Kid, It just so happens to be.
Speaker 1: Jay kid Is is the head coach. You know, he's
Speaker 1: probably seen a lot of a lot of these different
Speaker 1: point guard parents, So I think that's the right move.
Speaker 1: Next up on the Radar, presented by Draft Kings, we're
Speaker 1: talking NBA Championships. Big Bro got some tough matchups this week.
Speaker 1: Wars and Bucks Thursday, Wars and Bulls Friday. Big week
Speaker 1: for the Warriors. Uh right, now, the Warriors that are
Speaker 1: five and a half to one odds to win, the
Speaker 1: Bucks are at the seven and a half to one
Speaker 1: odds to win, and the Bulls are at five to
Speaker 1: one odds to win. Start telling me how this is
Speaker 1: gonna play out. Let's let's talk about it. The big
Speaker 1: week for the Warriors. It's a big task, getting Clay back,
Speaker 1: getting a couple of their pieces back, playing against some
Speaker 1: top notch East Coast you know what I mean, contenders
Speaker 1: and talent. How's this gonna play out? I really feel
Speaker 1: like Draymond is going to have this team's mindset as
Speaker 1: they're in the finals, game seven, like they have something
Speaker 1: to prove. They all feel good, they they feel they
Speaker 1: feel complete now they got Clay back right, and there's
Speaker 1: been so much they've been taking so much because the
Speaker 1: team has been beat up, they haven't been healthy. I
Speaker 1: think they're ready to be back in championship for them,
Speaker 1: I think the war is gonna come out and really
Speaker 1: try to make a statement against the Bucks and the
Speaker 1: Bulls this week. You know what I mean. I like
Speaker 1: I said, with Clay back, when you it's it's just
Speaker 1: different from when you get your star player back. It's
Speaker 1: just when you'll start. It just brings a new life
Speaker 1: on the team, even with the young guys. That's that's
Speaker 1: knowing that their minutes are going out the way that
Speaker 1: they all buying in what's best for the team and
Speaker 1: ain't know. Clay playing a big role is a big
Speaker 1: part of it. So I just feel like the attitude
Speaker 1: and the field the Warriors have, it's gonna be it's
Speaker 1: gonna be too much for both teams this week. I
Speaker 1: can't disagree with that. It feels like the Warriors are
Speaker 1: in the upper echelon of the league right now, whether
Speaker 1: it be through management, through coaching, or you know staff
Speaker 1: being you know, one of the most unselfish superstars it
Speaker 1: is in the league. The Warriors are just out classing
Speaker 1: the league right now, and the fact that they've already
Speaker 1: transitioned players to the bench to prepare for Clay's arrival
Speaker 1: as a starter just speaks to them, you know, out
Speaker 1: classing and our passing the pacing the league right now.
Speaker 1: Like we said before, it a littered to before. There's
Speaker 1: no reason to think they're not on the trajectory to
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. What what what part of this any
Speaker 1: of these matchups that intrigue you in in this Warrior series, Yeah,
Speaker 1: for me, this is the one that sticks out to me.
Speaker 1: I want to see Draymond guard Greef Freak. I'm excited
Speaker 1: about that because that could be a potential finals matchup,
Speaker 1: right and greek Feak has been the m v P
Speaker 1: being the most dominant player in the league. I think
Speaker 1: Draymond is confident right now, knowing that he has all
Speaker 1: his weapons now, and like I said, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a big game from a big test for them. So
Speaker 1: I think the matchup between them too, I want to
Speaker 1: see that because Draymond is somebody that can really take
Speaker 1: somebody out of the game. You've never seen nobody to
Speaker 1: do that, the Greek Freak. But I think Draymond is
Speaker 1: in his bag and it's one of my favorite players
Speaker 1: in the league. Or you in your bag right now,
Speaker 1: because I would like to disagree with you on a
Speaker 1: couple of these these a couple of these issues. But
Speaker 1: I think he's right, you know, I mean, I just
Speaker 1: keep it real, you know what I mean. I just
Speaker 1: I just think you're right, Draymond. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I feel as it should be up for m v
Speaker 1: P talks. The way he's held the glue together regardless
Speaker 1: of the box score. He seems to make plays and
Speaker 1: you know, continue to have that locker room together other
Speaker 1: But I am interested to see what's gonna happen with
Speaker 1: the Greek Freak because it seems like he started off slow.
Speaker 1: He ran through Anthony Davis, regardless of Anthony Davis was
Speaker 1: working through some injuries. I mean, he was out there
Speaker 1: on the court and you know how that that goes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what i mean, I'm assuming yeah, I'm assuming
Speaker 1: you had. But the Greek Freak has just been running
Speaker 1: through fives and fours and threes and twos. He's just
Speaker 1: been able. His versatility is just shooting the three ball
Speaker 1: now confidently. But that Chris Middleton is gonna rub off
Speaker 1: on him. Eventually, he's gonna start shooting. There's no way
Speaker 1: he can look on the other end of the court
Speaker 1: and watch Chris Middleton make all them shots. You know
Speaker 1: how that is without becoming a better shooter. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta pick up some point. You know, once you're around
Speaker 1: your teammate, you start to pick up a little bit
Speaker 1: of his trade, his game. Maybe he's sharing some notes.
Speaker 1: So it's just gonna be interesting that Draymond uh Greek
Speaker 1: freak matchup and just Clay, just Clay coming back against
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, some like some good teams Middleton.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have some wings. Okay, Hello, so so hollo,
Speaker 1: we're not okay, let's look at that. Yeah, uh, Steph
Speaker 1: Drew hot today right middle to Clay? Ye Greek, that's good.
Speaker 1: That's good. Almost TV. You almost wish you had three
Speaker 1: TV windows to watch each matchup individually. Yeah, and and
Speaker 1: and don't forget about Bobby Porteris. You know, Andrew Wiggins
Speaker 1: found himself in the Bay Area. Crazy eyes, Bobby Porteris
Speaker 1: is playing out of his mind shooting. You know, he's
Speaker 1: shooting almost forty high forty percentage from three point line
Speaker 1: are close to it. He's felt he just could be
Speaker 1: an All Star. He might. You wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: the name of one. So he's been balling. I'm actually
Speaker 1: happy for him as a first pick. A lot of
Speaker 1: people through under the bus. That was one of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And you only do that
Speaker 1: just to help somebody prove you wrong. That's what Big felt.
Speaker 1: That's what Shock said. It's only when you play it
Speaker 1: in your oven and you spend a lot of enough
Speaker 1: time and you should be able to speak on certain things. Right.
Speaker 1: And so I'm we're having I'm actually happy or we're happy,
Speaker 1: and I know you're happy. He's changing everybody's perception. And
Speaker 1: he said, you know, he's finding a new home for himself.
Speaker 1: And go to State. The Warriors on Friday are playing
Speaker 1: the Bulls, and let's talk about that. But these backcourt
Speaker 1: battles we got Steph Clay Wiggins pulled the Chicago side,
Speaker 1: DeMar derosions playing out of his mind, guys, out of
Speaker 1: his mind, Zach Levine, Alonzo Ball, Kobe White. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm probably if I'm missing somebody, let me know. But
Speaker 1: just just that matchup alone, is those are some good
Speaker 1: Those are some good wings to watching this match. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, the Clay I mean, excuse
Speaker 1: me to Steph and Alonzo Ball matchup, because Alonzo knows
Speaker 1: that in order for them to win, he has to
Speaker 1: play defense. He wants some type of we have to
Speaker 1: lock Steff up. I don't know if Levine's gonna guard
Speaker 1: him or what, but that matchup is gonna be the
Speaker 1: desk to tell of that game because you know, Clay
Speaker 1: stills working these kinks out and all that, and he
Speaker 1: got Clay has a tough matchup on his hands whether
Speaker 1: he goes the Roads and the Levine, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. But that matchup with Alonso and stuff is
Speaker 1: gonna be a good one. I think that's where Kobe
Speaker 1: White comes into because you know, he's he hasn't had
Speaker 1: a the year that he had previously. I think he's
Speaker 1: coming off injury. But as he gets back and gets
Speaker 1: into it, I think he takes a lot of load
Speaker 1: off Alonzo to where Alonso can do the Alonso thing
Speaker 1: and pick you up full court, facilitate and not feel
Speaker 1: Prestons get real game. That's why stuff get to take off.
Speaker 1: You got Payton picking up everybody full court. There you
Speaker 1: go doing all the dirty work. So it's good to
Speaker 1: have players like that to get your stars a break
Speaker 1: from me on from towns. You gotta have it. Next segment,
Speaker 1: creating your future players on minimum deals are not guaranteed deals.
Speaker 1: Who are creating their future pay days? First up, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Malik Monk. He bawling, he playing his role,
Speaker 1: has a one right now, is on a one year
Speaker 1: deal worth almost two million, all guaranteed. Right now, he's
Speaker 1: having twenty six minutes per game, twelve points per gameshot
Speaker 1: from the field, third percent from three. You're gonna get
Speaker 1: that back. I mean, who they who there handing the
Speaker 1: bags out too? If not? You know, players is talented
Speaker 1: the moleague Monk. His talent was never in a question.
Speaker 1: I know there's been some issues about how they thought
Speaker 1: his mentality has been, but clearly he's been over there
Speaker 1: and stay crypto. You know what I mean. Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Lakers isn't an easy place to play basketball, and he's
Speaker 1: made a good transition over there with Lebron. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's one of the best players right now. They're six
Speaker 1: and three. When he's a starter, I think that's a starter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nineteen points per games, so I mean that's big time
Speaker 1: considering you know what locker room he's walking into. Playing
Speaker 1: with Lebron isn't the easiest thing to do. Playing with Lebron,
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis is probably a you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's a head trip at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: But he's doing a good job. What I like about
Speaker 1: him he's he's a confident kid. I've seen him way
Speaker 1: off Braun and and and and Russ number of times.
Speaker 1: He's a real competent kid. So I hope he gets
Speaker 1: a shot to really do his thing. G P the
Speaker 1: second Gary Payton Jr. You know what's making the name
Speaker 1: for himself as well with the Doves. He signed a
Speaker 1: one year deal worth on the two million, three hundred
Speaker 1: fifty thousand guaranteed UM. Season stats seventeen minutes for games,
Speaker 1: seven points for games, almost eight points a game or
Speaker 1: one still closer to one and a half still a game.
Speaker 1: That's what I like about it more than anything. I
Speaker 1: don't care about them being an athlete. He has that
Speaker 1: in his gene from his father, a lockdown defender. I
Speaker 1: take pride on defense. I don't care how big you are,
Speaker 1: how strong you are. I'm competing. That's one thing I
Speaker 1: love about GP any stronger than is that, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? I played with I played with Gary Payton,
Speaker 1: the first pregnant Seattle for three years, and I watched
Speaker 1: little g when you remember he was a baby shooting
Speaker 1: baskets at Key Arena before the games and after the games.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I've been on non guaranteed contracts. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. So I know how going through the
Speaker 1: year having a knife at your throat, playing your ass off,
Speaker 1: not necessarily know if he's gonna get at first, you
Speaker 1: got to get minutes, you know, when you come to
Speaker 1: a non guarantee, sometimes you come and you might not
Speaker 1: even get minutes to play yourself. You might be there
Speaker 1: just in case is this other dude get hurt. So
Speaker 1: the fact that you know what I mean, Steve again
Speaker 1: the Warriors organization, Bob Meyers shout out Bob Myers or U. C. L. A.
Speaker 1: Brewing and Steve Kerr. But every time they get his
Speaker 1: kid the opportunity. He steps up when his minutes go up.
Speaker 1: As you said, he's a defender, even more athletic, can
Speaker 1: build like his mom. You know what I mean. The
Speaker 1: mom's was an athlete, I believe, a track star. So
Speaker 1: I'm happy for g I mean, his numbers look like
Speaker 1: they've been paying people a lot of money for seven
Speaker 1: point that points, heard what I'm saying, and also as
Speaker 1: a starter twelve and a half or five rebounds. Twelve
Speaker 1: and a half points five rebounds as a starter, I
Speaker 1: think that warrants fifty sixty million these days. They channing
Speaker 1: it out to some other people based on talent and
Speaker 1: other things. He's got a good pedigree from his father.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean is the numbers speak for themselves.
Speaker 1: He's coachable and one thing I love about him he
Speaker 1: took the hard rout. He just comes straight out of
Speaker 1: college and just sticked in even thinking about it. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, d League, You know he had to.
Speaker 1: He had to take the hart right now. Always respect
Speaker 1: guys like that because I'm one of them. And he's
Speaker 1: never really asked anything for his father. At the end
Speaker 1: of the day, he's been going through this stuff. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Obviously we know his father is
Speaker 1: but he's been like he said, he took the long brother,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't easy. He could have gave up a
Speaker 1: long time ago. My dad and Gary Payton, I'm cool.
Speaker 1: I ain't gotta work, I ain't gotta do nothing. Really, Yeah,
Speaker 1: these glove checks right, and I gotta do it. But
Speaker 1: the fact that, oh and that Gary Payton cush the cookies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know he got multiple income streams. Ain't about the
Speaker 1: money with the kids at he loved really loved a game. Yes,
Speaker 1: next up our boy bond ready with terms with five
Speaker 1: Land Stevenson. He don't attended hardship contract worth about a
Speaker 1: hunting for the thousand. Yeah, he's been playing well, bro.
Speaker 1: I know he belongs in the league. It ain't no doubt.
Speaker 1: I was kind of a headcase like him, so I
Speaker 1: get it. But the best place the headcase could be
Speaker 1: it's with Rick Carlisle because Rick Carlisle allows you to
Speaker 1: be yourself. He loves players like me. He loves players
Speaker 1: like ron I said. He loved those type of guys
Speaker 1: that take passion and playing basketball because Rick was that
Speaker 1: type of guy. Rick was that type of guy. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he was getting your face type of guy.
Speaker 1: Rick knew he wasn't that talented. But he is probably
Speaker 1: one of these most smartest coach I wouldn't say smart,
Speaker 1: but as far as wise and X and old, I
Speaker 1: don't think it's too many guys smarter than Rick Carlisle.
Speaker 1: You know, we call him Jim Carrey to you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So, but Lane Stevenson is is that
Speaker 1: a great place with them? He's playing well, putting up
Speaker 1: big numbers. I think he can get paid there, didn't
Speaker 1: he He played with the pace. He's got a history there.
Speaker 1: He's got a history there. Um. Like you said, Jim Carl,
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey is like I think he enjoys the challenge
Speaker 1: of having spirited players on his ball club. I think
Speaker 1: he'd rather win with people who care and who already
Speaker 1: he don't have to put the battery in the back.
Speaker 1: You just gotta tell him to dial a death back
Speaker 1: a little back, you know what I mean. We can't
Speaker 1: be mad at coach Carl. He's good at that. He
Speaker 1: did it with me. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So make him make them Lance dance, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Everybody's You've seen him on a lot of
Speaker 1: man's with Lance is a good basketball player, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Obviously he's been working on his game
Speaker 1: and keeping himself in shape, keeping his mental together for
Speaker 1: somebody who they said they didn't have their mentor together,
Speaker 1: for somebody who's been off work, just to step back
Speaker 1: getting that thirty, come back and have six to sixteen
Speaker 1: and fourteen and to win, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So a lot of times these efforts are lost when
Speaker 1: you lose on you, especially on your tend day, so
Speaker 1: you can have three or three or four games and
Speaker 1: your tend to have all else. You got a hercue
Speaker 1: lean effort thirty thirty, but you lost, You're not really
Speaker 1: adding no value. And upstairs they can kind of you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We didn't win with him, so
Speaker 1: him out of here. But I think the way he's playing, bro,
Speaker 1: we all know he belongs in the league. I think
Speaker 1: his attitude now and the way he's playing definitely warrants
Speaker 1: him another contract and a guarantee stay in the league now,
Speaker 1: especially with the COVID stuff. And you know, you need
Speaker 1: some people on experience. They don't need to be coming
Speaker 1: in guessing like this is gonna be a thing. I
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a new thing for the bros.
Speaker 1: If you're around waiting for a job, you know, because
Speaker 1: as it is in the league right now, with the
Speaker 1: cover protocols, and you can keep yourself in shape, come
Speaker 1: playing a Big three. Come with these hardship contracts, or
Speaker 1: go to the Big three, or come get one of
Speaker 1: these hardship contracts, get your ten day up, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. You never know you might be able
Speaker 1: to earn yourself create a new future in front of
Speaker 1: the Big three. We have I think three or four
Speaker 1: guys get a shot that Joe got called up, Mario
Speaker 1: Chalmers got called up, and there's somebody else that I'm
Speaker 1: that I'm missing. I got gotta call up. So Isaiah
Speaker 1: Brisco is on the Minnesota Timberwars D League team. He
Speaker 1: might get called up. And he was on my championship
Speaker 1: team this year. Shout out Big Three coach Dad bringing
Speaker 1: him chips home. The obviously Classic and Showtime Basketball. It
Speaker 1: sounds good, you know what I mean. A partnership between
Speaker 1: you know, the AI Classic and Showtime Basketball. You know
Speaker 1: the multiverse that is becoming Showtime Basketball right now. It
Speaker 1: sounds good. The partnership is made. We're spending spending a
Speaker 1: lot of time in Memphis together at the Battle and
Speaker 1: the Bluff, at the AI Classic the previous year, um
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, you know bother. They have the McDonald's Game,
Speaker 1: and this is a passion project for for you Jackson,
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. You tell me how how
Speaker 1: that looks and what you've seen from the AI Classic households.
Speaker 1: I just I just felt honored that I was a
Speaker 1: big piece to bringing that together. It's been a blessing
Speaker 1: for me to AI asked me to coach from year one,
Speaker 1: you know, to be a part of his game. Uh,
Speaker 1: knowing how I felt about him, and knowing how a
Speaker 1: lot of us felt about AI. We all feel like
Speaker 1: he never got his jets do and he still don't
Speaker 1: get his just do for what he's done for the
Speaker 1: game and the culture. So when he said he was
Speaker 1: having a game and he wanted me to coach, I
Speaker 1: look at it like it's my game right and we
Speaker 1: played all playing in the McDonald's game. How great would
Speaker 1: that feel to our culture and us and all the
Speaker 1: basketball players that allan Hobson game is bigger than the
Speaker 1: McDonald's game, right, And that's where he's getting too, because
Speaker 1: it's getting he's getting all the same players that you know,
Speaker 1: and some some of the players like last year they
Speaker 1: didn't have a McDonald's game, so they had to play
Speaker 1: in the Allen Iverson game, right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So just to be a part of this, and just
Speaker 1: to being able to be bring both of my family's
Speaker 1: Showtime and and and Alan Abson classes together to do this,
Speaker 1: I think it's great because not only is it good
Speaker 1: for Um for Ai for him to get the look
Speaker 1: that he deserves, but also it's a great look for
Speaker 1: us at Showtime to be evolved in the in the
Speaker 1: high school atmosphere as well. I think you hit it
Speaker 1: right on the head. Being at the Allison Ovison Classic
Speaker 1: and you know the record numbers of games at the
Speaker 1: Battle and Bluff and seeing it all come together, I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be something new for the viewers, for
Speaker 1: for the future, for you know, for the babies to see.
Speaker 1: Like you said, at that McDonald's High School All American
Speaker 1: the game, it just wasn't any former players there or
Speaker 1: even people that look like us. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, what I saw there with the former players
Speaker 1: being heavily involved in practices and from every aspect of
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, it was unique, and I think
Speaker 1: shell Time is unique. Obviously Showtime basketball is unique, and
Speaker 1: it got to start somewhere, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Hats off to you for you know, doing all that
Speaker 1: you can do in the high school space with with
Speaker 1: time you can and and it's been you know, it's
Speaker 1: been a blessing and I think it's gonna be something
Speaker 1: that people are gonna enjoy in the future as it grows.
Speaker 1: But aside of that, I know you've been doing a
Speaker 1: lot of work in the community outside of Memphis. It
Speaker 1: isn't just basketball. There's always a gift back component to
Speaker 1: what Showtime basketball. What do you and Matt do and
Speaker 1: you specifically, and I know you do a lot of
Speaker 1: work in a community and Memphis out there. Talk to
Speaker 1: me about Memphis is going through it a lot, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Young Dolphin, Right, talk to me
Speaker 1: a little about you know what I mean, the community
Speaker 1: of Memphis and what you've seeing out there and just
Speaker 1: what this partnership can do to heal the city of Memphis. Uh. Well,
Speaker 1: I think you know, we all have to a great
Speaker 1: start with it. You know, I think anything we've done
Speaker 1: in Memphis, we incorporated some type of education or some
Speaker 1: type of understanding to to the kids that's playing in
Speaker 1: the game, how bleed they are, right, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, How how fortunate they are. You know, you're
Speaker 1: in a great position. A lot of people don't have
Speaker 1: the things are on in the position and have the
Speaker 1: opportunities that you have. And these these the this is
Speaker 1: the people who died for you to have these opportunities
Speaker 1: by taking them to the Mother of the King Museum
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So I think I think it's
Speaker 1: a great experience for everybody. Um for me, I know
Speaker 1: that was a great experience for me because not only
Speaker 1: being around the game in basketball and I'm giving back
Speaker 1: right and it's no handbook on how to give back right.
Speaker 1: You got to genuinely care. So just partnering with the
Speaker 1: Double A c P and Memphis and just trying to
Speaker 1: do the right things when you have time, you know,
Speaker 1: in the community. It has been a blessing man. But
Speaker 1: we had a great time out there and we're doing
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff out there with the partnership with
Speaker 1: the Odd Officer Classic and Showtime Basketball and we have
Speaker 1: a little teaser for you. Check this out. I don't
Speaker 1: think a game like this really works with anybody else.
Speaker 1: It's just sold about the kids. It's a soul about
Speaker 1: lifting Allen Hobson ain't like no other. Yeah, everything is
Speaker 1: wrong with this gang, the players controlling what the Showtime
Speaker 1: Basketball is doing with the average in Classic does It's
Speaker 1: always been about embracing athensive relationships. In a year from now,
Speaker 1: your whole family's dynamics can change. The combattings of guys
Speaker 1: who've been there, done that, menos, real experiences. We all
Speaker 1: care about the younger generation of kids who are playing basketball.
Speaker 1: Having these cash is everything. A lot of people get
Speaker 1: attitude of passion, confused, continue to dream man, continue to
Speaker 1: play every game like it ship last. Just like this,
Speaker 1: just that feeling right here. I think it's just amazing
Speaker 1: the bond that we're creating with the younger generation. You know, um,
Speaker 1: we talk about in the NBA all the time, like
Speaker 1: it's not enough vets in the NBA, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean for the younger guys that's coming in. Well,
Speaker 1: I think this is a great way to wipe all
Speaker 1: that out by bonding with these kids before they even
Speaker 1: get there, you know what I mean. And I think
Speaker 1: we're doing a great job with that because I'm my son,
Speaker 1: it's fans a lot of these kids, right and I'm
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm able to learn these kids and grow
Speaker 1: relationships with them. And now I'm seeing from the real
Speaker 1: one of the obvious game. I'm seeing some of these
Speaker 1: kids in the NBA now And they texted me like,
Speaker 1: O G man, I remember you told me this, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So it feels good to be
Speaker 1: able to bond with these kids and give them game
Speaker 1: before they even get to that level, instead of like
Speaker 1: we did, got to the level, then got the game
Speaker 1: and had to figure it out. Yeah, I think they get.
Speaker 1: They get. I mean, they let us make a ton
Speaker 1: of mistakes, you know, right in the front of everybody's face,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I think, uh, the involvement
Speaker 1: of the former players and being there in the past
Speaker 1: two years and watching you and like, just don't understand
Speaker 1: everybody's time as a father. People got business, they got
Speaker 1: bills to play. They come there and they dedicate their
Speaker 1: time and everything is organic, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like you're getting to them early where it's not you're
Speaker 1: giving up another half of your life to join the
Speaker 1: coaching staff, for joining the NBA Pro Coaching program, front
Speaker 1: office training, whatever it is, that could be another three
Speaker 1: or four years loss. I agree with you. This is
Speaker 1: a direct way to influence the youth in the way
Speaker 1: that we know how. That's not cookie cutter, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's obviously you know the way we were,
Speaker 1: the way we used to disseminate the information and hearing it.
Speaker 1: So it's been a blessing to watch you guys, uh,
Speaker 1: to watch you guys work through everything and be a
Speaker 1: part of it. So I think the sky is the
Speaker 1: limit as far as the partnership with the AI Classic
Speaker 1: and Showtime Basketball, NFL playoffs are here. Bro Card Weekend,
Speaker 1: we got some crazy matchups in the a f C
Speaker 1: Man still is in Chief Sunday Patriots at at Bill's, Saturday,
Speaker 1: Raiders at Bangles, and the Titans with a buy Yeah.
Speaker 1: And in the NFC we got the Eagles in the
Speaker 1: against Thomason and the Bucks. We got Bang Bang Niner
Speaker 1: Gang against them boys. I guess we got the Cardinals
Speaker 1: and the Rams, which is like a trap game, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We don't know who's gonna win that?
Speaker 1: And the Packers in a run, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: gotta buy, so I gotta buy. Of course they're dead. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even have to ask you what's
Speaker 1: your game that you're looking at, because we're looking at
Speaker 1: taking the l right. I don't know what that means necessarily.
Speaker 1: I mean the game that we're highlighting we're talking about
Speaker 1: is you know, the Niner game first in Boys in
Speaker 1: Dallas at Jerry's house. That you know, that sounds good
Speaker 1: and everything, But we know how y'all lack. We know
Speaker 1: how y'all like when it comes down to these things.
Speaker 1: That's the past. But what what's Is it a coincidence
Speaker 1: that you're on the show today. That's my partner in
Speaker 1: crime and we played each other in the playoffs and
Speaker 1: deputy sharing deeply like a mug, y'all. I wish, you know,
Speaker 1: I only wish that we had t o to come
Speaker 1: back and do that ship in the middle of the
Speaker 1: start on the Cowboy. The Cowboy unif him though that
Speaker 1: he did pay with the cos alight. That's it, That's
Speaker 1: what he did. But we need him in the forty
Speaker 1: and we need him in that forty nine and uniform.
Speaker 1: But this is gonna be dub y'all finally healthy ish.
Speaker 1: Jimmy tried to give it away, but then he ended
Speaker 1: up winning. And Jimmy Garoppolo is interesting as a forty
Speaker 1: Niner fan. You love him one man, and then you
Speaker 1: hate him and you wish you trade him, and then
Speaker 1: the other kid play, but he ends up coming through.
Speaker 1: The defense is looking good. We're looking I wouldn't want
Speaker 1: to see us. We're not gonna talk about defenses. We
Speaker 1: got defense play ye as a rookie that but that
Speaker 1: gotta slant to it? How where's the slant that gotta
Speaker 1: slant to it? Passes this up? They just be throwing
Speaker 1: over there. The kid is doing a great job. I
Speaker 1: actually like him. He reminds me. And when Di went
Speaker 1: over to the over there and had it was, well,
Speaker 1: you know what makes it easy for him? We have
Speaker 1: the Marcus Lawrence, Yes, and we have Hardy on the
Speaker 1: other ends. Yeah. So man, we're looking good. We got
Speaker 1: egg arms wet, you got deep bulls like blueby Miles.
Speaker 1: He'll throw it, he'll kick it, he'll pull your glass
Speaker 1: to get you know what I mean? People do it all.
Speaker 1: He do it all. You know what I mean, he's
Speaker 1: been that way the whole time. Plus we got the Kiddle,
Speaker 1: we got running backs. I think we're straight. You're gonna
Speaker 1: be surprised. I can't wait. It's gonna be a great matchup, bro,
Speaker 1: because we got a lot to prove. Um. Y'all finally
Speaker 1: getting healthy. So it's gonna be a great match up. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell a showtime. We need to go
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. That Matt put on his weak ass
Speaker 1: parting on the jersey and I put on my cowboy jersey.
Speaker 1: I don't know which one to have so many and
Speaker 1: uh and go down to the game and get some
Speaker 1: real foots, get a taste of the playoffs. Because I've
Speaker 1: never been the Dallas stadium, man, you haven't never bro.
Speaker 1: I'm from Texas. I've never been, bro, So I think
Speaker 1: this has been a great That's weird because I've been
Speaker 1: to the forty niners um stadiums. I've been there too,
Speaker 1: I've been, but but you haven't been to your own
Speaker 1: team's home stadiums, So that's just that's just odd to me.
Speaker 1: But I can't wait. I can't wait to see the
Speaker 1: red and go around all that blue, you know, they
Speaker 1: did it to the Rams this past weekend. If he
Speaker 1: looked up in so far was a lot of red
Speaker 1: and golden there. And I know we travel well, so
Speaker 1: you know it takes you back though, So the Cowboy
Speaker 1: for the nine matchups over the years, the story games, man,
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be good to get that feel back.
Speaker 1: Any other matchups really excite you? Yeah, man, the Raiders
Speaker 1: and Bengals. I'm gonna tell you why. I love that kid, Chase,
Speaker 1: and I love the quarterback talk about it, Burrow. I
Speaker 1: love Joe Burrow. LSU is my college team. So that's
Speaker 1: one reason why I love my cousin Market Spirits. You know,
Speaker 1: that's my first cousin. He played there. I didn't know that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: won the national championship. Shout out. I saw some video
Speaker 1: to yeah he was Yeah he was doing boys play
Speaker 1: a couple of sports. Yeah tech. Yeah. But yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I like chasing Burrow. Man. I think this young tandem
Speaker 1: is really making noise in the league, and uh, I
Speaker 1: want to see them shine. You know ray this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we all know the Raiders, They've been through a lot
Speaker 1: coaching and all that stuff, but I think the Bangers
Speaker 1: are really turning the corner and getting back to the
Speaker 1: playoff team. I like the Bengals. They play like you
Speaker 1: like on Madden. You know, you got your receiver and quarterback.
Speaker 1: You should be straight on Madden. And I want I
Speaker 1: want to see the grid. I want to Joe Brow
Speaker 1: got a whole another you know what I mean. Joe
Speaker 1: bro got a black man, so low key on the guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he used to hoop to so you know,
Speaker 1: somewhere somewhere on the line, I think he used to
Speaker 1: be a black man. And that's a good thing. And
Speaker 1: I mean that would all due respect because he's the
Speaker 1: cool as the other side of the pillar. But I
Speaker 1: feel you on that. I like the energy, but at
Speaker 1: the same time, like the Raiders, they got to get
Speaker 1: off of. You know, we're tired with the whole Raider thing.
Speaker 1: You know, John Harball or coach Hardball. Jim Harbaugh is
Speaker 1: gonna be a coach hopefully in the NFL. They need
Speaker 1: to go after him and somebody the Raiders. Unfortunately, like
Speaker 1: you said, we know who they are. It's really about,
Speaker 1: you know, the young guys at the Bengals. What other
Speaker 1: game are you looking at? Cardinals? Rams tracked me and
Speaker 1: it has you know, director, Yeah, and that's gonna be
Speaker 1: a trap game. You know, we don't really know. The
Speaker 1: Rams came out, the Cardinals came out like gangbusters. We
Speaker 1: thought they was gonna, you know, Ram run through the league.
Speaker 1: Then that the league got caught up to them. The Rams.
Speaker 1: They've been playing Okay. O b J has been waking
Speaker 1: up Matt Stafford had been turning the ball over a
Speaker 1: little bit though, you know what I mean, giving away
Speaker 1: to the other team. So, I mean that's gonna be
Speaker 1: a big NFC West game. That's an old school matchup. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of scoring in that game. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Cardinals just cantered down us and beat the Brakes off
Speaker 1: us and the Rams said they got a high power offense.
Speaker 1: And O b J is in this bag right now.
Speaker 1: We can't forget probably the best receiving the league right now,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Oh, let's not, let's not. Let's not forget that.
Speaker 1: Gotta give him this problem. Yeah, yeah, he I know
Speaker 1: they're playing an extra game with the seventeenth game, but
Speaker 1: the fact that anybody's taking a run of Megatron's record
Speaker 1: right crazy, considering O b J is on the team
Speaker 1: and they got tight ends and running back so we
Speaker 1: can catch. So I'm all for Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: is called yeah yeah, closing thoughts, contract check ins. So
Speaker 1: many guys with ten days, Man, we don't know who's
Speaker 1: gonna be around, you know what I mean, who's gonna
Speaker 1: what about Isaiah Thomas. He's looking for us next opportunity.
Speaker 1: I don't know why he didn't Sticky played well when
Speaker 1: he was with the Lakers. What do you think about that?
Speaker 1: I Saila getting back in the league. I think it
Speaker 1: goes back to what we talked about earlier. I don't
Speaker 1: think they got any wins when I was on his
Speaker 1: ten days. So although he you know, he did good
Speaker 1: on the stat sheet, I don't think, you know, to upstairs,
Speaker 1: that don't seem like a value add if they can't
Speaker 1: sneak he got a couple of wins with you, you know,
Speaker 1: getting some minutes and you know, putting up the statue.
Speaker 1: But I hope I gets he definitely deserves We don't
Speaker 1: have to keep repeating that if he deserves a chance
Speaker 1: or not. But a lot of times on this season,
Speaker 1: a lot of teams have their rosters, the rotations. You
Speaker 1: think he can come up the bench, somewhere his game travels.
Speaker 1: But aside from the fact that we don't know, we
Speaker 1: know he's gonna be at a lot of lockdown defender,
Speaker 1: but off the dribble, spot up shooting, decision making, pressure situations.
Speaker 1: He said, some end of the game winners. I feel
Speaker 1: like his game travels and you know you can find
Speaker 1: the spot for I t somewhere. Facts the Marcus Cousin
Speaker 1: talks about signing, talks about him signing with Denver again,
Speaker 1: being with his old coach, coach Malone. What you think
Speaker 1: about that him and like you spoke to that with
Speaker 1: with Rick Carlisle earlier, if you can, you know, if
Speaker 1: you've got a relationship with a coach, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, you can get back with him. I know
Speaker 1: that's important for Buggy at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's to be just just to feel safe and in
Speaker 1: the work environment, you know what I mean. He's always
Speaker 1: coming in but you know, the knife at his throw,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, trying to prove his worth.
Speaker 1: So I think him being there with Malone should help.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna do a lot for joking, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, free joking up just to be
Speaker 1: the skilled player he is, and you know Buggy can
Speaker 1: run around, you know, keep him cleaning, be that enforce
Speaker 1: and how you think that's gonna play out. I love
Speaker 1: boogey Man. You know I've been man mad. I always
Speaker 1: been big fans of Buggie Man, and we just want
Speaker 1: to see him in the league where he belongs. I
Speaker 1: don't care what the role is. Just giving the respect
Speaker 1: he was deserved because he deserves, and be on the
Speaker 1: rochster and just treat him like you know he he
Speaker 1: needs to be treated. Stanley Johnson, he'd been all on
Speaker 1: the second ten day, which you think about him? Stanley Man,
Speaker 1: California kid. I think I believe matter Day high school.
Speaker 1: You know, he went to the obviously was drafted hot
Speaker 1: think you know a lot of shat sat nih man Child.
Speaker 1: You know he's been down to the G League. Obviously
Speaker 1: his time didn't work out his first couple of years
Speaker 1: in the league. But I mean with the small ball
Speaker 1: lineup and them trying to move Lebron in and out
Speaker 1: of the five, their four and one as a starter
Speaker 1: with Lebron at the five, I think it's a it's
Speaker 1: a good look. Yeah, I like him man. I think
Speaker 1: it just wasn't a good fit for the player he
Speaker 1: is when he was in Detroit, you know, beginning his career,
Speaker 1: and I go to a guy, he's the type of
Speaker 1: guy that needed to go through a little something, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because he has the body NBA player,
Speaker 1: a football player really any sport. But but I think
Speaker 1: this is a great fit for him because he can
Speaker 1: come in a tough nose guy. They don't have a
Speaker 1: tough nose guy on the wing and you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Mellows at the end of his career. But
Speaker 1: I think he he'll fit in good and do a
Speaker 1: lot of the dirty work and be like a Marcus
Speaker 1: Smart over there, a great young guy like you said
Speaker 1: you spoke to. You know, it's it's physical attributes, um,
Speaker 1: I think, you know. As as as the starters go
Speaker 1: in again with the protocols, I think that just having
Speaker 1: him available to bring in and off the bench and
Speaker 1: different capacities is gonna work well for them. Biz mcbionbo
Speaker 1: signed for the rest of the remainder the season with
Speaker 1: the Suns to play behind Aden and they still have
Speaker 1: Jamale JaVale McGhee. But what does bis mcbianbo bring to
Speaker 1: them that they need to sign up for the remainder
Speaker 1: the season. Help me understand that one. But I mean
Speaker 1: I was waiting for a body. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just maybe I'm uninformed about Bismarck beyond
Speaker 1: skills that I don't want to miss speak. Yeah, I know, Javelle,
Speaker 1: I know Javelle Skill said very well. Well, well yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. But have to be a backup and a starter.
Speaker 1: I mean he's got a ring. Yeah, however I know,
Speaker 1: but DeAndre, I've seen him do the thing where he
Speaker 1: caught it. I'll sign I don't want this Bismarck have
Speaker 1: been doing. I don't know. I just haven't been I
Speaker 1: haven't opened up a file on biz Mac. Stay tuned.
Speaker 1: We gotta do my homework. We gotta go talk to
Speaker 1: the I don't want to to staff, Yeah, because we don't.
Speaker 1: We want to know what he's done. To shout out
Speaker 1: to you though, biz Mac. But don't your money, get
Speaker 1: your money. Yeah, I just don't want to have us
Speaker 1: me speaking. Yeah, we got we don't know. We don't know,
Speaker 1: uh man, we don't know. We don't know. Hey man,
Speaker 1: we want to give it a quick all the smoke.

Speaker 1: Water say, Man, you gotta dope all the smoke tattoo Man,
Speaker 1: the first one I've seen by one of our fans.
Speaker 1: I gotta meet you in person, Bro, I gotta meet

Speaker 1: my mad already has his but shout out to you, man.
Speaker 1: We appreciate the love of support. That's the only support
Speaker 1: you can get with somebody at their body with your logo,
Speaker 1: I mean ship, that's y'all show. I ain't gotta say nothing.
Speaker 1: That's that's hard. That's that's love right there. And that
Speaker 1: shows to the you know how, the reach of the show.
Speaker 1: When you see me, bro, please reach out of I
Speaker 1: see you somewhere. DM me to meet you, Brott. That's
Speaker 1: what At least Broen a lot going on in the NFL,
Speaker 1: Brother a b As you know, he walked off the field,
Speaker 1: ye you know, took his jersey off, shut the duce
Speaker 1: to the fans, waited outside for one of his homeboys
Speaker 1: to pick him up. In the show first year in
Speaker 1: the boots, in the in the boots, in the boots. Okay,
Speaker 1: next thing you know, he in the club with Faben
Speaker 1: going on a little video, a little it's all right,
Speaker 1: it's all right if you close your eyes and you
Speaker 1: don't realize the same be like it sounds like what
Speaker 1: they listen. That's what, that's what. That's how they're wrapping down.
Speaker 1: And then Matt spoke on, you know, on kind of
Speaker 1: that the last was burning. But a lot has happened since. Yeah,
Speaker 1: me personally, it dog. I kind of understand some of
Speaker 1: the things that he's upset about. But I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: did it in that fashion. And you know, I'm an asshole.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have did it in that fashion. I would
Speaker 1: have did it before the game. I wouldn't have showed
Speaker 1: up all the way to after the game and went
Speaker 1: crazy in the locker room. I wouldn't have, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I got kicked, I got kicked
Speaker 1: out of games and then in the NBA, and I
Speaker 1: have arguments with coaches, with coaches sent me to the
Speaker 1: locker room. But it's never to the point where I
Speaker 1: took my uniform. I was set. I quit. I ain't
Speaker 1: sucking with my teammates no more, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And and and that's a lot of people don't know
Speaker 1: the everything that's going on, but it draws you draw
Speaker 1: a line right there, right, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because you're not just putting your personal stuff ahead of
Speaker 1: the team, You're showing your whole team up right, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And that, And I've always been
Speaker 1: a team guy, you know, Tim. Tim doesn't comment ultimate teammate,
Speaker 1: So I always take pride of how to make my
Speaker 1: teammates look. And that's the only thing I didn't like
Speaker 1: about it, because you know, you know what, the man
Speaker 1: was playing for us money. He was trying to get
Speaker 1: his extra money by a couple more catches or something
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know all the information, but you
Speaker 1: still don't handle it that way. Considering all the hiccups
Speaker 1: you've had, other players did just stepped up to get
Speaker 1: you back in the league. You got Thomason sticking up
Speaker 1: for you, letting you stay at the crib. I mean,
Speaker 1: A B's transgressions have been well documented. We've seen all
Speaker 1: the ship that A B is up to. Hopefully he
Speaker 1: got to that number in his mind where he's financially comfortable.
Speaker 1: I don't know, may you have to be acting like that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Maybe he like I don't really need the football ship anymore.
Speaker 1: I got the number in the bank. You know, don't
Speaker 1: tell nobody to kiss your ass. Let your ass is cash.
Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying. And that's some Texas boys
Speaker 1: ship right there. If I ever heard it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Gripping wood, no freaky, but that's you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, That's exactly what that is. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what a B story is. Hopefully he
Speaker 1: got the bag in place in order he can make
Speaker 1: these moves. The music thing. I know he's been talking
Speaker 1: about some ship with Kanye. That's interesting. You do what
Speaker 1: you want, though, I mean, because you know football. You
Speaker 1: ain't gonna pay no more football, No, No, I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody take a chance on the like
Speaker 1: if you want to go do music with Kye, I
Speaker 1: don't think embrace that. And I wish him well, but
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever played in the football game. Again,
Speaker 1: that's a good place to be for him to have
Speaker 1: somebody polarizing as Kanye over with you suggest so they
Speaker 1: can forget about all the ship that you're doing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that's what he want
Speaker 1: to do. You know what I mean more power to
Speaker 1: him in the new year. But I think IB want
Speaker 1: to play football on the load. There's just some other
Speaker 1: ship going on. We don't know about that. He got
Speaker 1: to deal with you know what I mean? On his time.
Speaker 1: Hold up, But you're the defending champions with a chance
Speaker 1: to win another championship. Man, I don't care what you
Speaker 1: got going on. The whole purpose is to win. You
Speaker 1: you win, and you're playing with Tom Brady. You have
Speaker 1: a chance to win another championship. I don't care what
Speaker 1: I got going on at that moment. I wait to
Speaker 1: have to be raised that trophy again, didn't I have?
Speaker 1: I have more of a senator complain about what I
Speaker 1: was mad at. Cut us more sense to cut up.
Speaker 1: You cut up at the parade. Yeah that's your speech. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we had a great season, but I'm tied me to
Speaker 1: get a pay God, Danny, that's what would have been
Speaker 1: perfect time. It would have been a lot better than
Speaker 1: him undressing in front of the stadium and leaving on
Speaker 1: the honey like a kid that everybody come on, man,
Speaker 1: come on, and they was going to you. They were
Speaker 1: trying to help you fulfill so you can get your
Speaker 1: bonuses and ship. They was looking out for you. I
Speaker 1: don't know it be is a trip, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. He probably is as good as a football players.
Speaker 1: We think he is, but all the other ship that
Speaker 1: comes with it, you know what I mean, that's up
Speaker 1: to you know, management the side. But we wish him
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, were still he still
Speaker 1: at but we'd rather see you on the football And
Speaker 1: then you know, like like I said, Bro, we really
Speaker 1: don't know the whole story, you know, I know, I
Speaker 1: don't you know the coach Arran's is saying one thing
Speaker 1: a B saying another a B showing text proof of
Speaker 1: what he him telling coach that he wasn't healthy. So
Speaker 1: it's a lot going on. But just the way he
Speaker 1: responded and to let that coach get under this skin
Speaker 1: like that, you know what I mean. I think that's
Speaker 1: the whole part. We like I said, we don't know
Speaker 1: everything that went on. We wish the best for him,
Speaker 1: but just how that went down to and look good
Speaker 1: it didn't. And we know the football players and injuries,
Speaker 1: but they have to play to go through there's no
Speaker 1: secret they get, you know, take shots to tour dog.
Speaker 1: Never know. I heard somebody never know. You never know
Speaker 1: what last move. Maybe he went out there on one
Speaker 1: play and then he cut one time. He was like, no,
Speaker 1: that's it, not only you know your body. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you know, that's the archaic thing to think, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, to think about a B. You know,
Speaker 1: telling somebody stay healthy or not to play. I'm sure
Speaker 1: a B's Aside from the vaccinine situation, he's been pretty
Speaker 1: much on schedule. He's just been playing football, producing there
Speaker 1: down the receiver anyway, so he was gonna get some more. Look, so, um,
Speaker 1: we don't never want to take in the light injury
Speaker 1: or somebody we don't. Like you said, we don't have
Speaker 1: all the information, but we just hope he gets better,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We're at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, that's all. That's all it is. We want
Speaker 1: to see a be healthy and back to playing football.
Speaker 1: Hey man, that was great today, Bro. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: easy to work with people, you know, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I wish I could do it with you more.
Speaker 1: Bro was at a great show. Joe Man, thanks for
Speaker 1: having me. It's been an honor. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people watching the show. I don't know. We go back,
Speaker 1: we don't wait, but I was trying to get an NBA.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's gonna and the multiverse two. We're gonna
Speaker 1: tell that story to you know what I mean when
Speaker 1: it's to be though. But I appreciate it. Like I said,
Speaker 1: this could have I know a lot of people wish
Speaker 1: they was up here doing it with you, and I
Speaker 1: just appreciate you trusting do it. But yeah, What's Burning
Speaker 1: is available every week on Showtime Basketball YouTube and on Twitter, Instagram,
Speaker 1: and TikTok at Show Basketball. He did
