Speaker 4: My guys play pretty soon, so I'm gonna have to
Speaker 4: lock into that. But before I get to that, let's
Speaker 4: just get through this podcast. Make sure y'all got something
Speaker 4: to tune into over the weekend the rest of the week.
Speaker 4: Lock into that does beat the Grizzlies one thirty five
Speaker 4: to one eighteen. It was a fun game. It was
Speaker 4: a very fun game to play in After a while,
Speaker 4: it picked up a little bit after the little thing
Speaker 4: with uh Santi a Doma and Desmond Bang. We walk
Speaker 4: y'all through that real quick. So santiy All Dama, by
Speaker 4: the way, santiy All Dama always like go at me
Speaker 4: like some type of way. By the way, those threes
Speaker 4: weren't on me, so don't don't try. I'm not talking
Speaker 4: about the point. He always talking some shit to me,
Speaker 4: and you know he got to put back and he
Speaker 4: just like walked straight through my chest Like It's always
Speaker 4: something like that with santiy All Doma and I know
Speaker 4: y'all like, oh, I don't know, Like number one, I
Speaker 4: really like his game. I was watching him shoot during
Speaker 4: warm ups, like right before the warm ups, seeing the
Speaker 4: maybe like a minute left and warm up manu and
Speaker 4: a half. I stand there, wants to clock into a minute,
Speaker 4: and I'm just looking the other way until the clock
Speaker 4: at a second, I turn make my level before the buzzer.
Speaker 4: That's my routine for I don't know how many years.
Speaker 4: And I was standing there just looking the other side,
Speaker 4: and I saw him shooting and he hit like seven
Speaker 4: in a row and they were just like so bounce,
Speaker 4: pure money, money, and I was like, Wow, he's shooting
Speaker 4: the lights out the ball, and you know, in hopes
Speaker 4: that that wouldn't translate to the game, and he started
Speaker 4: getting off.
Speaker 1: But Santiyalldama always go at me.
Speaker 4: From the very first time I seen him get in
Speaker 4: the game, missus Grizzy, he starts talking crazy to me.
Speaker 4: And so when he walked into my chest, like that's
Speaker 4: already knowing like.
Speaker 1: He'd go there every single time, which I respect a.
Speaker 4: Young guy in this league who's trying to make his
Speaker 4: name for himself to go at me every single time
Speaker 4: like that. I got nothing beloved and respect for that.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna just let you walk through my chest,
Speaker 4: which is why opening my hand out to stop him.
Speaker 4: But I got nothing beloved for that. And he competes
Speaker 4: like crazy. He played hard as hell every time. He
Speaker 4: impact the game in a positive way every time we
Speaker 4: played at Grizzlies, regardless of who is out there on
Speaker 4: the floor signed to Adama plays. And then I was
Speaker 4: just standing there listening to the referee and Bang came
Speaker 4: grabbing my arms. I hate when people come from behind
Speaker 4: me and grab my arms because you number one, I
Speaker 4: can't see anything. Don't grab my arms because you never
Speaker 4: know what's going to happen. I need my arm, so
Speaker 4: don't grab my arms. And so I just got he
Speaker 4: started grabbing my arm, and I just like, nah, don't,
Speaker 4: don't grab my arm. I pushed back and then GP
Speaker 4: grabbed my arms from the other side, and I'm like, gee,
Speaker 4: I didn't know that was GP, and so I was
Speaker 4: pulling my arms.
Speaker 1: Away from GP.
Speaker 4: And then Taylor Jenkins took a dove and Taylor Jenkins
Speaker 4: milked it and I could not believe that he milked
Speaker 4: it like that. And he's walking, He's laying on the
Speaker 4: court milking, and their trainer comes up to him.
Speaker 1: And one of our players I'm not going to name.
Speaker 4: The player because it's pretty irrelevant to name the player
Speaker 4: and like, but he's walking back to our bench and
Speaker 4: the trainer asks Taylor Jenkins, like you okay? Like like
Speaker 4: what He's like, I'm okay, like trying to milk it,
Speaker 4: And that to me is absolutely insane. Like I told
Speaker 4: you all, it be players like trying stuff, and I
Speaker 4: know they be trying to get me kicked out the game,
Speaker 4: which to me is kind of like, eh, like it
Speaker 4: says a lot about you. As I said before, so
Speaker 4: I see that all the time. But like a coach
Speaker 4: taking the dive and then milking its crazy. You cannot
Speaker 4: milk it that long and then get up and like
Speaker 4: coach the rest of the game intensely, you got to
Speaker 4: go to the locker room for or second or something
Speaker 4: bro like you just can't you can't milk it like that,
Speaker 4: like that was that was crazy.
Speaker 1: And you have to be very careful, you know, because
Speaker 1: he tends.
Speaker 4: To get a louile emotional at times. I know, y'all
Speaker 4: be talking about me, but I played basketball. You got
Speaker 4: to play with them. But he tends to get a
Speaker 4: lowile emotional at times. I think sometimes his teams follow that,
Speaker 4: you know, when you look at them and like the
Speaker 4: playoffs in different situations, like as a coach, you have
Speaker 4: to be really careful with your emotions because your team
Speaker 4: take on your demeanor.
Speaker 1: Like you know, you've seen us in games.
Speaker 4: Over the course of these years where or in playoff
Speaker 4: series down and have to come back and it's like, oh,
Speaker 4: they're never rattled. Well, part of the reason we're never
Speaker 4: rattle is because Steve Kurz never rattled. Like so Steve
Speaker 4: Kurrin never loses like his composer, Like we could be
Speaker 4: down twenty points in the second quarter every game against
Speaker 4: the last four games of the series against the Huginson Rockets,
Speaker 4: and he's like, all right, like just keep playing defense
Speaker 4: and stick to the game plan. And James Harden is
Speaker 4: going to get tired and they'll start missing those threes
Speaker 4: and we'll make our run clockwork, you know. And so
Speaker 4: that's the that's what we followed and leads the championships,
Speaker 4: you know, so have to be very careful with that.
Speaker 4: So when he took that dive, I was alone. I mean,
Speaker 4: I can't say I'm surprised, but it's just like, at
Speaker 4: what lengths do you go to, man like, and you
Speaker 4: can't just milk it? And then later I'm okay, I'm okay,
Speaker 4: like trying, like, come on, Bro, that's what players do
Speaker 4: sometimes when they're trying to get a flag and fil
Speaker 4: they just later the trainer come up. They whispered to
Speaker 4: the trainer, I'm good, like that happens, Like you can't
Speaker 4: do that as the coach. I'm just sorry, Like that
Speaker 4: was crazy to me, And yeah, man, Bro took a
Speaker 4: dive anyway. Jonathan Kaminga last night was insane. Twenty six
Speaker 4: points twelve or seventeen from the field, two for three
Speaker 4: from three five boys, and four assists.
Speaker 1: The five boys is what I love.
Speaker 4: The most, although I think that still should be around
Speaker 4: seven or eight boards. A few games ago, Kaminga had
Speaker 4: like twenty four and he had two rebounds, and I
Speaker 4: let him live.
Speaker 1: I didn't say much to him about it, but.
Speaker 4: I wanted to really go out him about it, like, bro,
Speaker 4: you had two rebounds.
Speaker 1: I remember my mom did that to me. When I
Speaker 1: was playing at Michigan State.
Speaker 4: I had maybe thirty three at Gonzaga or something like that,
Speaker 4: thirty one, thirty four, something like that. I scored a
Speaker 4: at Gonzaga and we played at the pit, which, if
Speaker 4: you know, when big teams go to Spokane, Washington to
Speaker 4: play Gonzaga, they don't play at the pit. They actually
Speaker 4: play at the downtown Gonzaga Arena. No one really goes well.
Speaker 4: I played for Tom Mizzo. Shout out to Michigan State,
Speaker 4: and tom Izzo is going he as John Morn, he said,
Speaker 4: Tom Mizzo, running up your chimney.
Speaker 1: He coming to your gym. He playing you wherever. It
Speaker 1: don't matter. His thing is any time any plays will play.
Speaker 1: And so we go to the pit.
Speaker 4: And they're yelling over ready, trade mind your old race,
Speaker 4: my seeing you over rady, you suck Okay, gave them
Speaker 4: boys thirty something, you could look it up. I had
Speaker 4: two or three rebounds and I got you know, my
Speaker 4: mom At the time, my mom was my biggest credit,
Speaker 4: Like she'd go crazy after every game. It's like, oh,
Speaker 4: that was terrible, you did this value like biggest critic,
Speaker 4: and so I'm like, yes, Like I just went off
Speaker 4: like what she gonna say?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 4: When I called it right after the game, like hello, mam,
Speaker 4: what's up? She like, you had two rebounds? What what
Speaker 4: were you doing out there? And at the time my
Speaker 4: mom cursed. She didn't. She don't curse anymore. She's totally
Speaker 4: different person. She used to be like, what the hell
Speaker 4: were you doing out there? Like you had two rebounds? Hey,
Speaker 4: were you sleepwalking out there? And I'm just sitting there
Speaker 4: on the phone, like I just had thirty something points
Speaker 4: on the big road game at Goazzaga, Like what are
Speaker 4: we talking about? That's how my mind. I wanted to
Speaker 4: hit JK with one of those the other day, but
Speaker 4: I let him live. But five rebounds last night for
Speaker 4: us sist a couple of stills as well.
Speaker 1: I'll take I'll take the five rebounds over the two.
Speaker 4: But we're going to make sure JK get the rebounding
Speaker 4: more and more because he's more than capable. And if
Speaker 4: he's rebounding and then pushing the ball on the break.
Speaker 4: Did y'all see a couple of those breakaways? He ran
Speaker 4: right by Jake Lareve on one of those plays, he
Speaker 4: ran right by somebody else on a couple like he
Speaker 4: JK is shot out of a cannon when he decided
Speaker 4: to run. So with him getting more rebounds and just
Speaker 4: starting to break and pushing the break, then you have
Speaker 4: to account for a totally different thing. So we could
Speaker 4: we definitely will be chopping it up about that. But
Speaker 4: like I told y'all before, the young boy is a star.
Speaker 4: So buy your stakes now. As if there's a stock market,
Speaker 4: buy your stock now, buy low.
Speaker 1: Because the stock will be high.
Speaker 4: So when he's playing downhill with that type of force,
Speaker 4: we're a very tough team to beat. I don't care
Speaker 4: who we play against, because it just brings a different
Speaker 4: dimension to our team, and not everybody can provide that dimension.
Speaker 4: Is not everybody has that freak athleticism, has that skill.
Speaker 1: One thing JK no one ever talks about is his handle.
Speaker 4: He has a very underrated handle, and it suits him
Speaker 4: well and it allows him to do more with the basketball,
Speaker 4: which a lot of guys that jump and leap like
Speaker 4: that can't handle the ball like that and it limits them.
Speaker 4: Jk can handle the lights, I mean handle the ball.
Speaker 4: He can shoot the mid range very well, which again,
Speaker 4: when you're going to be an elite scorer and you
Speaker 4: can get to your spot to raise up over people
Speaker 4: Ala Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 1: And Kawhi is the latest. You know, you go back
Speaker 1: to Kobe and MJ. Like those guys Mellow they get
Speaker 1: you to a spot.
Speaker 4: They just raising up and his money and I think
Speaker 4: John Zon Kaminga has the potential to master that shot
Speaker 4: as well. So it's good to see him have that
Speaker 4: game last night, especially against a young team like that.
Speaker 4: You need them young legs, and Kaminga had it going
Speaker 4: for us and it was great. Wiggs twenty two points,
Speaker 4: ten rebounds, and Wiggs has been shooting the lights out
Speaker 4: of the ball. I think he was four for six
Speaker 4: from three last night, but he's been shooting the ball
Speaker 4: really well. And again, when we have an aggressive Andrew Wiggins,
Speaker 4: let's face it, the proof is in the pudding, we
Speaker 4: win championship. That's that's what Andrew Wiggins can bring to
Speaker 4: a team. When we have an aggressive Andrew Wiggins, both
Speaker 4: sides of the ball, we compete for championships. So it's
Speaker 4: great to see Wiggs playing that way. And like I said,
Speaker 4: it just wasn't last night. He's been playing extremely well
Speaker 4: over the last month or so, and you know, you
Speaker 4: got to keep him going. That comes at the right
Speaker 4: time for us play with twenty three off the bench, five.
Speaker 1: For eleven from three Clay.
Speaker 4: There's obviously been a thing with Memphis for years, and
Speaker 4: Clay loves to play against that team.
Speaker 1: It just brings a certain competitive nature out of him.
Speaker 4: And when it does, you know, you get the Clay
Speaker 4: we had last night and the point god CP with
Speaker 4: twelve points and fourteen assists. But make no mistake about it,
Speaker 4: what's more impressive is the fourteen assists. But what's really
Speaker 4: more impressive about the fourteen assists zero turnovers, and Chris Paul.
Speaker 1: Is more than capable of doing that. He actually does
Speaker 1: that often.
Speaker 4: I cannot confirm this is just randomly off the top
Speaker 4: of my mind, but I'm pretty sure he's the guy
Speaker 4: with like a certain amount of assists and zero turnovers
Speaker 4: with the most of them in league history.
Speaker 1: I don't know what number of assists that is.
Speaker 4: I don't know how many times you've done it, but
Speaker 4: I know he've done it quite a bit and yeah, ready.
Speaker 5: He has the most games with tennisists and zero turnovers
Speaker 5: in NBA history fifty nine games. The next closest is
Speaker 5: Muggsy Bogues with forty six.
Speaker 4: Boom there it is Chris Paul absolutely incredible playmaker. We
Speaker 4: know that he's been at his entire career and when
Speaker 4: he's playing that aggressive and making plays that way, we're
Speaker 4: also a tough team to be and people have not
Speaker 4: seen much of that because I think, you know, he's
Speaker 4: worked his way into being more aggressive, but if you
Speaker 4: watch these games as a late he's been a lot
Speaker 4: more aggressive. And I love it because that opens up
Speaker 4: a different dimension, that gives you something that you don't
Speaker 4: see a tone with us, and I think it opens
Speaker 4: up different lineups. Chris Paul is a lineup connector. He
Speaker 4: make any lineup work. You can put him on the
Speaker 4: court with anybody and he can make it work. He's
Speaker 4: that smart, he's that elite of a point guard and
Speaker 4: it's great for us and for us last night, the
Speaker 4: defense definitely picked up.
Speaker 1: And really took control of the game for us.
Speaker 4: They was hitting a lot of threes, They shot a
Speaker 4: lot of threes, I think they shot thirty threes in
Speaker 4: the first half. They were twelve for thirty, so they
Speaker 4: were shooting the ball really well. And then you know,
Speaker 4: our defense picked up, and I'd like to say our
Speaker 4: defense picked up after the little thing. That's kind of
Speaker 4: when when when everything changed, when the little thing with
Speaker 4: Taylor Jenkins and Zmond bag which was nothing, by the way,
Speaker 4: but when that little thing happened, our defense went to
Speaker 4: another level and we never looked back from there. You know,
Speaker 4: we've had these games where we get a big lead
Speaker 4: and we get a lead back.
Speaker 1: Not last night.
Speaker 4: We controlled the game pretty much the entire way after
Speaker 4: that and it was our game for the taken. We
Speaker 4: have to do that more consistently, and I think that's
Speaker 4: a big you know, that's a that was a huge
Speaker 4: step in the right direction for us. That's the level
Speaker 4: of growth that you know, at this time of year,
Speaker 4: you want to see. So you know, it's important that
Speaker 4: we continue to put that together. I think we have
Speaker 4: fourteen games left, Yeah, fourteen games left in this season,
Speaker 4: and we all know what's at stake, we all know
Speaker 4: all the situations, so it'll be important for us to
Speaker 4: continue that.
Speaker 1: In other news, Lebron.
Speaker 4: James on the Mind the Game podcast with JJ Reddick,
Speaker 4: spoke about a plethora of different things, but one being.
Speaker 1: Lakers.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, the Warriors beat the Celtics in the finals
Speaker 4: because of basketball IQ. And of course you all know
Speaker 4: this is on the rundown of things because Jackson is
Speaker 4: always going to find a way to insert the Celtics
Speaker 4: into anything that he can possibly do. Talk about the
Speaker 4: Celtics because they're weird.
Speaker 1: Fans like Jackson get off by listening to how they
Speaker 1: lost us, So let's talk about this. That to a
Speaker 1: certain degree is very true.
Speaker 4: I think we definitely had a higher IQ at the time,
Speaker 4: but I think we also as more than just a
Speaker 4: higher IQ though, Like we had an higher IQ for sure,
Speaker 4: but it's also IQ in the moment, you know, like
Speaker 4: in these situations, like you get in these you know people,
Speaker 4: somebody can have a high IQ and get in those
Speaker 4: moments and completely lose it, like because the moment gets
Speaker 4: too big.
Speaker 1: You know. We saw Jared Allen a couple maybe that
Speaker 1: was last year, he said, man, those lives were brighter
Speaker 1: than we thought.
Speaker 4: I was very surprised when he came out and said
Speaker 4: that publicly, but it was as real as anybody could be.
Speaker 4: Like you get in these playoffs sometimes and this is
Speaker 4: the NBA Finals we're talking about, sometimes those lights can
Speaker 4: get a little bit brighter than you expected, and so
Speaker 4: and then you know, they were much younger and you.
Speaker 1: Know, had never been there. They had been to the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals, but had never been there. They were
Speaker 1: much younger, and so I think our basketball IQ was higher.
Speaker 4: I think at that time also our coaching staff basketball
Speaker 4: highkey was hied. The adjustments that we made throughout that series,
Speaker 4: it made all the difference in the series. But again
Speaker 4: we have been there before. Steve had been there, Mike
Speaker 4: had been there, Mike Brown, you know, they had been there,
Speaker 4: so they knew the adjustments to make like that. But
Speaker 4: I definitely think our IQ was better. Like I remember
Speaker 4: when we switched and start guarding and sending all those guys.
Speaker 1: Left like that kind of came.
Speaker 4: That came from the players like, yo, they can't go
Speaker 4: with their left hand, like go you know, like, let's
Speaker 4: send them left everywhere. Because as a coach, you're you're
Speaker 4: hesitant to do something like that as a coach because
Speaker 4: if you're on the right side of the floor and
Speaker 4: you're sending left that means you're sending left.
Speaker 1: I mean that means you're sending it to the middle.
Speaker 4: Go watch the NBA and tell me how many times
Speaker 4: guys intentionally send a pick and roll to the middle.
Speaker 1: Your defense ain't really built for that.
Speaker 4: And so we're telling guys like, yo, we're going to
Speaker 4: send them left and like spray out, like don't even
Speaker 4: stay in help, just spray out to shooters so they
Speaker 4: can't hit to shooters.
Speaker 1: And like it changed the entire series. That is an
Speaker 1: IQ thing. And so I think that's definitely crazy.
Speaker 4: And you know, and you know, for those of you
Speaker 4: out there that don't quite understand what I mean by IQ,
Speaker 4: it's like what level are you processing this game? And
Speaker 4: how are you processing these pictures? You know, in the
Speaker 4: course of the game, like pictures develop in every twenty seconds,
Speaker 4: every fifteen seconds, a different pictures developing. How fast can
Speaker 4: you process those picture? Take an IQ to another step?
Speaker 4: Can you process those pictures before the picture become clear?
Speaker 4: That's taken IQ to another level. And by the way,
Speaker 4: there's not many guys in the NBA. And when I
Speaker 4: say many, you're talking probably I'm gonna be generous and
Speaker 4: say less than twenty that can literally see the pictures,
Speaker 4: and that's being very generous by the way, that can
Speaker 4: see the picture before it even develops. That's a whole
Speaker 4: nother level of IQ. Chris Paul can see that, Lebron
Speaker 4: James can see that. I always go back to Ragion Rondo.
Speaker 4: I know Rondo is retired, but when it comes to
Speaker 4: basketball IQ, I've never in my life got an opportunity
Speaker 4: to talk the game.
Speaker 1: Of basketball with Ragion Rondo.
Speaker 4: I have the utmost respect for Ragion Rondo's basketball IQ.
Speaker 4: So anytime I mentioned IQ, you always hear me bring
Speaker 4: up Ragion Rondo, and I always will because to me,
Speaker 4: when it comes to IQ in the game of basketball,
Speaker 4: he is one of the goats.
Speaker 1: And I say that and I mean it like nobody somemout.
Speaker 4: Ray Jon Rondo is one of the ghosts when it
Speaker 4: comes to basketball IQ.
Speaker 1: So there's not a lot of guys that see those
Speaker 1: pictures before they happen.
Speaker 4: And quite frankly, you know, there's always the discussion of
Speaker 4: is IQ is that an innate thing?
Speaker 1: Like? Is it inherited?
Speaker 4: Like is that like like do you like, how does
Speaker 4: that come about? I wouldn't necessarily say inherit it that's crazy,
Speaker 4: but like, is it an innate thing or is it learned?
Speaker 4: And the reality is I think it's partly learned. Like
Speaker 4: my uncle taught me the game of basketball when I
Speaker 4: was young. When all these coaches was like rolling out
Speaker 4: of basketball telling guys go play. My uncle didn't roll
Speaker 4: out no basketball. He's like, all right, first, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: teach you all this game. I learned helpshid defense when
Speaker 4: I was in the first or second grade.
Speaker 1: Most guys don't learn that to high school. Some guys
Speaker 1: don't learn that to college. Some of these don't learn
Speaker 1: until they get to the NBA.
Speaker 4: I learned that in first second grade, So imagine the
Speaker 4: head start that I have with that, right, Like my
Speaker 4: uncle has always watched the games with me, and like
Speaker 4: look at this, see you see this.
Speaker 1: My uncle still sent me stuff about the game. And
Speaker 1: he my uncle ain't never coached past the elementary school level.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was like an assistant coach for my aunt
Speaker 1: at the high school level where and I don't think
Speaker 1: he went to games. He just go to practice.
Speaker 4: Like my uncle is a basketball teacher, like savantly like
Speaker 4: level teacher, and the the base that he builds for
Speaker 4: a not for basketball players. Out of this world. And
Speaker 4: so the foundation's out of this world.
Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 4: Number one, when I first started playing, I was taught
Speaker 4: the game of basketball. But then I also think, like
Speaker 4: there is some part of it that's in eight Like
Speaker 4: that's my gift, you know, Like Steph Curry's gift is
Speaker 4: his shot. Like I can go shoot the ball a
Speaker 4: million times and like get a million extra shots up,
Speaker 4: I would not be as good as shooter as Steph Curry.
Speaker 1: It just won't happen.
Speaker 4: Like Steph Curry has an innate ability to shoot the basketball.
Speaker 4: Not saying that you can't become a better shooter, but
Speaker 4: Steph Curry, like that's a gift, and then he worked
Speaker 4: his butt off to enhance that gift. And so you
Speaker 4: see some guys with gifts and they don't work, and
Speaker 4: like it don't work, you know, but like so Steph
Speaker 4: Curry has a gift of shooting the basketball and then
Speaker 4: you work your tail off and enhance it, right, Like so.
Speaker 1: That is a part of my gift, Like my basketball.
Speaker 4: I Q no matter what level of play that I've
Speaker 4: always been a savvy player.
Speaker 1: And you know that's so back to the original.
Speaker 4: Yes, that was part of the reason that we beat
Speaker 4: the Celtics was because of our basketball IQ. Before we
Speaker 4: get out of here, let's talk a little bit of
Speaker 4: March Madness and then we'll have a couple uh giveaway
Speaker 4: winners for you guys have asked, promised, But my March madness, Man,
Speaker 4: March Madness is such a fun time of year. It's
Speaker 4: quite frankly, if I'm honest, it's really the only time
Speaker 4: I can watch college basketball because I can't really get
Speaker 4: into college basketball. It just never makes sense to me
Speaker 4: how in college basketball your guarding every player the same,
Speaker 4: Like if if if we got Steph Curry coming off
Speaker 4: of screen and roll in college basketball and me coming
Speaker 4: off of screen and roll in college basketball, and BP
Speaker 4: Brandon Pozemski coming off in college They're gonna guard that's
Speaker 4: ball screen the same exact way, no matter what. And you, like,
Speaker 4: you can't possibly tell me that best sushi defense like
Speaker 4: gardener screen and roll with Steph Curry the same way
Speaker 4: that you guard a screen and roll. Me, Like, you
Speaker 4: just can't tell me that that puts you in the
Speaker 4: best position to be successful. So you watch like these
Speaker 4: college games and like these coaches make no adjustments, Like
Speaker 4: if you start off with something that work. It works
Speaker 4: till the end of the game, like they don't want
Speaker 4: to make any adjustments.
Speaker 1: It just it doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 4: The basketball be so bad, Like you watch most of
Speaker 4: these games, the basketball be awful. Like again, I am
Speaker 4: someone that pride myself on basketball i Q and sometimes
Speaker 4: I'm watching some of these games just trying to figure
Speaker 4: out the type of offense they run, and you can't even
Speaker 4: make it out, Like you can't even make out what
Speaker 4: style offense they run. So I only watch during marsh
Speaker 4: Madness and saying that, you know, for me, as someone
Speaker 4: who went through it, I'm not sure I have like
Speaker 4: crazy favorite moment to March Madness. Like everybody loves the upsets.
Speaker 4: That's great, like fine, but like I don't. I'm not
Speaker 4: one that kind of has this these all these favorite moments.
Speaker 4: My favorite moment would be winning the championship. I never
Speaker 4: fucking done it. I lost in the championship, and so
Speaker 4: I'm just not gifted with that moment. I think the
Speaker 4: one moment I love the most if I had the
Speaker 4: point to any moment of seeing the one shining moment
Speaker 4: at the end of the game, at the end of
Speaker 4: the the NCAA Final because coaches appreciate that to us,
Speaker 4: like he made you have such a strong appreciation for
Speaker 4: that song, because that's all he talk about every year
Speaker 4: all years, like, yo, like you just want to be
Speaker 4: the like you want to be the last one standing.
Speaker 4: You want to hear that one shining moment playing while
Speaker 4: you're standing on the court, like and.
Speaker 1: So he would just talk that to us all the time.
Speaker 1: So I have such.
Speaker 4: A large appreciation for that moment because that's the moment
Speaker 4: that was kind of embedded in us.
Speaker 1: That's the moment that was sold to us.
Speaker 4: And obviously I never got a chance to live it,
Speaker 4: but I always enjoy seeing it because it was something
Speaker 4: that I strived for and it's one of few goals
Speaker 4: that I never reached. But if I had to pick,
Speaker 4: that would be.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite moments. Today we got my spartans.
Speaker 4: Michigan State versus Mississippi State, and when we win, we
Speaker 4: will play in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: And I am telling y'all, it's all, don't lose.
Speaker 4: The second game in the weekend. You give me the
Speaker 4: first game. This is this is time Mizell talking to you.
Speaker 4: You get me the first game, I will get you
Speaker 4: the second game. You give me the first, I'll get
Speaker 4: you the second game of the weekend. Now often does
Speaker 4: he fail when he say that? And he say that
Speaker 4: every time. So I'm rolling with my spartans to be
Speaker 4: Mississippi State, with my spartans to be North Carolina. I
Speaker 4: hope for your bracket sake that you roll with the
Speaker 4: same thing, because if not, you will be like Quinn
Speaker 4: derry Weatherspoon who called me talking about he wants to
Speaker 4: bet on Mississippi State, which is a football school, and
Speaker 4: he want to bet on them against my Spartans. If
Speaker 4: you see this episode before the end of that game,
Speaker 4: this will be taken off the episode if we lose,
Speaker 4: And if you see this episode at the end of
Speaker 4: the game, you would not see this park.
