Speaker 1: What's up everybody?
Speaker 2: Welcome back to The Draymond Green Show with My Dog
Speaker 2: b D. What's happening? My brother something? My dog just chilling?
Speaker 3: Bro. Before we get into this episode, subscribe to The

Speaker 3: any episodes.
Speaker 1: That's right. Follow the show on all social media platforms
Speaker 1: at Draymond's Show so you don't miss none of the announcements. Now,
Speaker 1: we gotta start with the tweet, Bro. After the Washington
Speaker 1: Wizards game, Jordan Poole said, I love those guys over there.
Speaker 1: I love most of those guys over there. And then
Speaker 1: you respond with a tweet that says, I really am sorry.
Speaker 1: I really am sorry. Why did you respond to that?
Speaker 3: I responded because you know it's been three years, like
Speaker 3: let's move on. You know, we moved on, like I
Speaker 3: supposed to move on. Man, I really am sorry. Like
Speaker 3: you know, it was that that statement was kind of
Speaker 3: like it was kind of like it was looking for
Speaker 3: some sympathy. You know what I'm saying. I kind of
Speaker 3: keep wanting to make me dough to be the bag.
Speaker 3: I move on, bro, like it is what it is.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Like I shouldn't have functioned, but you know,
Speaker 3: it happened, like like, let's move on, man. I even
Speaker 3: apologized to his parents, you know, I got I got
Speaker 3: his dad.
Speaker 2: Popped off one time on the internet, and.
Speaker 3: I went back at him because it's just like, bro,
Speaker 3: why are you popping off? And I actually didn't like
Speaker 3: myself for it because I wasn't even on that, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I was like, I kind of
Speaker 3: let him get me off my square a little bit
Speaker 3: because I've said what I said about it, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like, you know, I kind of go
Speaker 3: over bro.
Speaker 1: You know, I'd be kind.
Speaker 2: Of going back and forth with this song, like.
Speaker 3: I'll be kind of in between you on certain days,
Speaker 3: like Yo, I know I was wrong, but you can't
Speaker 3: call a man to be word to push him and
Speaker 3: not get hit either, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 3: I kind of like, you know what I'm saying, I
Speaker 3: kind of sit in both of those spaces sometimes, Like
Speaker 3: the reality is the answer is probably somewhere in the middle, right,
Speaker 3: Like I shouldn't have knocked him out like that. I
Speaker 3: anything I should have himed him up kind of was
Speaker 3: just a natural reaction. So that the reality is like
Speaker 3: I probably shouldn't sit him up or something like that,
Speaker 3: and so.
Speaker 1: That fact, you know what I'm saying after the fact.
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of things you can do
Speaker 1: after the fact, right, you can think about and say
Speaker 1: what you did wrong, But in that moment, like man,
Speaker 1: when I saying, plenty of team might square off and like,
Speaker 1: you know fight, So it's it. I mean, you know
Speaker 1: saying fights in the league. You know, it's a whole
Speaker 1: it's a whole YouTube highlighted just people you know, getting
Speaker 1: down and thumping, you know, and it happens. It happens,
Speaker 1: It happens in practice when you're competitive, you have that
Speaker 1: competitive spirit. But at this point, you know, I really
Speaker 1: am sorry. Is another public apology to just move on, Like, okay,
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, I get how how Jordan
Speaker 1: Poole feel. Okay, you know you're gonna love some of
Speaker 1: the dudes and you're not right. But that's fun too,
Speaker 1: you know, but it's it's over, I think the whole
Speaker 1: You don't want to tie to your legacy, like it's
Speaker 1: not a it's not a legacy thing. It's this is
Speaker 1: not this is not a part of like the legacy.
Speaker 1: You know, this is more so like some sidecar ship
Speaker 1: that's just a part of like brand, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, It's part the brand.
Speaker 3: But I think I think for him though, like you're
Speaker 3: kind of bringing that back up on yourself, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like like when you do that, you
Speaker 3: just bring back that moment up on yourself, you know,
Speaker 3: like you just kind of gotta move on it and
Speaker 3: just keep it pushing.
Speaker 2: Man, top.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta let it go at some point, you gotta,
Speaker 1: you gotta. He gotta let it go so he can
Speaker 1: get back to being who he is that point. That's yeah.
Speaker 1: So and that's all it is. That's it. But anyway,
Speaker 1: moving right along, what's up, dumb nation. We gotta talk
Speaker 1: about this Calf. How you feeling, boss man.
Speaker 3: I'm feeling solid, bro, you know, I keep it's getting
Speaker 3: It's gotten better each day.
Speaker 1: To them, I got a little small terror that I
Speaker 1: think ship pretty f some are pretty fast hitler. So
Speaker 1: it's getting better. It's getting better each day.
Speaker 3: It's crazy because it's the same Calf that I had
Speaker 3: the problem with from the back then.
Speaker 1: But I knew right away.
Speaker 3: Soon as I walked to the sideline, I told Steve
Speaker 3: like it's like it's my calf, Like it's my calf,
Speaker 3: like and then I told Rick in the back, I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm very confident that it's my calf and it's not
Speaker 3: coming from my back door like it feels like a
Speaker 3: calf injury or like a muscle injury, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. And so it's, uh, it's not as sore
Speaker 3: as it was. It's not really sore at all. Like
Speaker 3: it's just hurt on like certain steps with movement, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, and stuff like that. But it
Speaker 3: ain't it's not like it's not really sore in that way.
Speaker 1: So you know, but you gotta be careful facts, you know,
Speaker 1: to play with. Yeah, that's I had a I was
Speaker 1: playing in the G League. I was having my best game.
Speaker 1: Come down pop hop oh made away come down on
Speaker 1: my calf, tearing my calf. So I said, I'm not
Speaker 1: coming back. That was it, you know, because every time
Speaker 1: I kept trying to come back, it was it was
Speaker 1: never We play on our on our toes, in on
Speaker 1: the ball of our feet, and so a lot of
Speaker 1: like our power enforce is all about leverage and jumping, right,
Speaker 1: So you know, that's that's caph work, Achilles work, you know,
Speaker 1: good choir work. So you know you have to be
Speaker 1: careful when them little tears. And people don't understand this,
Speaker 1: like a little tear is that hurts as you're trying
Speaker 1: to explode. So we wish you well, man, We want
Speaker 1: you to get back. I appreciate it. Take your time,
Speaker 1: take your time. We need you on the court. Also,
Speaker 1: the Warriors, Uh, they have the Sacramento Kings up next
Speaker 1: h tonight. Are you surprised how the Kings have responded
Speaker 1: to Doug Christy leading the charge.
Speaker 3: I'm not very surprised because I felt like Mike Beach
Speaker 3: just kind of lost to guys. And I think a
Speaker 3: large part of him losing the guys what's the amount
Speaker 3: they were practiced and so I think, you know, just
Speaker 3: a lot of guys kind of start feeling away about that.
Speaker 2: And so you know, they got talent.
Speaker 3: That's the same team that took us to Game seven
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, but added to Martin Rosen, like.
Speaker 1: Obviously that should help.
Speaker 3: And so I'm not surprised at all knowing what they're
Speaker 3: capable of, and I think Doug has probably made those
Speaker 3: small fixes were practice and you know, more elite minutes.
Speaker 3: You know, the whole six man thing is cool, but
Speaker 3: all of a sudden we down. We need to get
Speaker 3: our best guns on the floor, you know. So I
Speaker 3: think he's just done some things that yeah, minor tweets,
Speaker 3: that was right there with him, right there in their face.
Speaker 3: And but most importantly, you got guys play hard for you,
Speaker 3: and that is that is the challenge in the NBA
Speaker 3: as a coach, just to make sure you got guys
Speaker 3: coming out of playing hard and you when you got
Speaker 3: guys look like.
Speaker 1: They playing for you, that going a long way.
Speaker 3: So Doug keep it up, and he gonna find himself
Speaker 3: with a job moving forward, not just an interim coach
Speaker 3: of the Sacramento Kings, because one thing's for certain, he's
Speaker 3: put the time man. When it comes to that organization,
Speaker 3: Doug Christy has put the time in just about probably
Speaker 3: more than anyone involved, anybody, including the ownership group. So
Speaker 3: you know, he keep winning and doing what he's doing,
Speaker 3: he's gonna have him a job moving forward, and it'll
Speaker 3: be well deserved.
Speaker 1: I like to see that. And what you said about practice, right,
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can be a good team, but you can
Speaker 1: practice too much. So when the game come, you start
Speaker 1: to play like you practice, and you know there's a
Speaker 1: far in line to walk as a coach and also
Speaker 1: a fine long hat of stubbornness right when you got
Speaker 1: a team like that, because sometimes you don't need to
Speaker 1: practice that much and guys need to just keep getting
Speaker 1: in shape, keep getting they rhythm, keep getting they flow.
Speaker 1: But if they have to wake up and think about practice,
Speaker 1: that's one of the whole iris in practice practice. But
Speaker 1: you got to understand waking up and thinking about practice, right,
Speaker 1: you're not thinking about the game. You think about the
Speaker 1: practice after the game. If you go get a day off,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, it messes with the team psyche and
Speaker 1: so unblocking that automatically your bets they're gonna start showing
Speaker 1: up more then putting your best players on the floor
Speaker 1: right when that is that's the most obvious thing. And
Speaker 1: so shout out to Doug. You know, like you said,
Speaker 1: he's been with the Sacramento Kings from am near since
Speaker 1: I've been in the league. A tough competitor, smart uh
Speaker 1: was always versatile, but he's stuck with that organization through
Speaker 1: through thick and thin. For him to have that opportunity
Speaker 1: to do that you know, he's a fierce competitor, he's smart,
Speaker 1: he's knowledgeable, and when you got buy in from you know,
Speaker 1: DeRozan and Fox. Right, we have Fox on the show.
Speaker 1: You know, you see it. You see a different kind
Speaker 1: of swagger about them all. So you know, as long
Speaker 1: as he allowed that to happen, I think that's that's
Speaker 1: going to be clutched. But I also want to ask
Speaker 1: you about, you know, the difference in the coach, right,
Speaker 1: Mike Brown, excellent guy, great coach, but in time, usually
Speaker 1: in times like these, you see teams respond, right, two
Speaker 1: new coaches just talk about being in the league and
Speaker 1: seeing that you know, also not having that right, having
Speaker 1: that stability, what that means as well. Yeah, Now for sure,
Speaker 1: it's crazy because I always tell people like I am
Speaker 1: I've been very fortunate in my career to be here
Speaker 1: for thirteen years because I am.
Speaker 2: I am not one that's keen to change, Like I
Speaker 2: do not like change.
Speaker 3: Ill keep my stuff the same, right, And so to
Speaker 3: not have to go through that throughout the course of
Speaker 3: my career where guys you got some guys that got
Speaker 3: to coach every other year or two, I feel like
Speaker 3: I would struggle with that a lot.
Speaker 1: You know, even if it's team the team every other year,
Speaker 1: Like I struggle with that because I just don't adjust
Speaker 1: to change well.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 3: To have like this is the thing that you do
Speaker 3: the most, this is the thing in your life that
Speaker 3: you end up having to put spend so much energy
Speaker 3: and focus on that to have to make that adjustment
Speaker 3: every year drive me crazy, right, And so I'm very
Speaker 3: fortunate that I haven't had to deal with that.
Speaker 2: But when you look around the league, the teams that
Speaker 2: have the consistency are usually teams that do best. And
Speaker 2: the bad organizations that switching coaches every.
Speaker 3: Year every other year that the usually don't work, you know,
Speaker 3: and the proof and the putting this right there in
Speaker 3: your face. And so you know, if you even look
Speaker 3: at teams around the NFL that's had success, stillers coach.
Speaker 2: Same for many years. Andy Reid and Kansas City been
Speaker 2: there for many years. Bill Belichick is with the Patriots.
Speaker 3: For many years. You know, when you look at the
Speaker 3: coaches that have done well, they've been there for many years.
Speaker 3: And so as players, we need that consistency, Like you
Speaker 3: don't want to be adjusted to a different playbook, a
Speaker 3: different set of coaches, a different philosophy every other year
Speaker 3: or two. And so I think, you know, when for
Speaker 3: the guys in Sack is kind of like the happy medium,
Speaker 3: whereas you got a different coach, But Doug has been there,
Speaker 3: and if I'm not mistaken, Doug was there even before
Speaker 3: Mike Brown got there on the coaching staff. That was
Speaker 3: there prior to Mike Brown getting there, if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 3: And so, you know, that is still a level of
Speaker 3: consistency for them. It's a consistent voice that those guys
Speaker 3: have heard for years and it's not like it's just
Speaker 3: some huge change, foreign change. That a voice that they
Speaker 3: haven't been hearing for many years. And so it makes
Speaker 3: a huge difference man having that consistency. And like I said,
Speaker 3: I speak about that from experience. I haven't had to
Speaker 3: deal with much change. I've changed coaches one time in
Speaker 3: my thirteen years. Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: And then talk about like those minor adjustments, because in
Speaker 1: that change, it was a couple adjustments. And now, you know,
Speaker 1: people give credit to Mike Mark Jackson about the foundation
Speaker 1: he lay when the coaching change over happened, that's when
Speaker 1: the Warriors took off. And you know, talk about minor
Speaker 1: tweaks right, How that how you can fix that Rubik's
Speaker 1: Q and get all the colors working and the patterns right,
Speaker 1: you have something special And I think you know, I
Speaker 1: want you to talk about that as far as coaching
Speaker 1: because you know, being with current winning championships, you know
Speaker 1: your loyalty, right and just having that brain trust with
Speaker 1: that do as well. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: So even if you look at like some of the
Speaker 3: minor changes that will happened, and we've been speaking about
Speaker 3: the king, so in there, in there in their space,
Speaker 3: like I said, starting Malik Monk, getting ke Ellis more minutes,
Speaker 3: putting more trust in here, giving him more confidence, more
Speaker 3: consistent minutes that he's getting and right like, that's one
Speaker 3: of the big changes for them moving month into the
Speaker 3: start lineup.
Speaker 2: That's one of the big changes for them.
Speaker 1: For us.
Speaker 3: When we switched coaches, we were you know, we had
Speaker 3: went to the playoff two years in a row, and
Speaker 3: some of the tweaks that Steve brought in, like Mark
Speaker 3: Jackson did do a great job of laying the foundation.
Speaker 3: But just when Steve came in, the offensive changes that
Speaker 3: he made was everything for us. Like our defense was
Speaker 3: really really great and they had got that to an
Speaker 3: incredible place. But the offensive changes that Steve brought in,
Speaker 3: the ball movement and player movement, and you know, our
Speaker 3: offense was a lot more stagnant before Steve came in.
Speaker 3: So I think it's just him making those changes that
Speaker 3: changed everything because it unlocked a lot of stuff for us.
Speaker 3: It unlocked the floor for us, and so you know,
Speaker 3: you have philosophical changes like that, you know, where Steve
Speaker 3: come in with some some principles of the triangle, but
Speaker 3: not quite running the triangle, you know, I think, you.
Speaker 2: Know, so that was kind of our changes.
Speaker 3: And then obviously when Steve came and I also became
Speaker 3: a starter, you know, that was a huge change.
Speaker 1: It unlocked your potential and unlocked my potential, and it
Speaker 1: also unlock just different things about our offense, like I
Speaker 1: played drect indeed Lee, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So it just unlocks some different things in our offense.
Speaker 1: That really allowed us to take off.

Speaker 1: Bulls and Lakers are following the Kings. Honestly, I think
Speaker 1: we should beat the Bulls. Shout out to my boy
Speaker 1: loves Obama all back on the court. We got to
Speaker 1: get him on the show. But I want to talk
Speaker 1: about the Lakers, specifically Anthony Davis. How tough is this
Speaker 1: to slow down a player like a d You know,
Speaker 1: we know he's had an MVP, he wasn't MVP candidate
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, definitely an All Star. But I
Speaker 1: want you to just talk about like the Warriors Lakers
Speaker 1: Draymond Green aighty matchup because that's always the most critical
Speaker 1: matchup in this series. Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, we gotta beat the boys.
Speaker 3: We've been struggling, right and even the games that we
Speaker 3: think we're supposed to win, we've been struggling in so
Speaker 3: we can't overlook anybody. And then also where you're coming
Speaker 3: off of back to back that's always a tough game.
Speaker 3: I don't care who are you playing against. And we'll
Speaker 3: be coming back home on the back to back. I
Speaker 3: headed back from sack. So you know, we got to
Speaker 3: take all of that stuff into account now unless you
Speaker 3: got to go win the game. I don't give it ahead,
Speaker 3: I give it THEMN what going on or what the
Speaker 3: circumstances are you got to go in the game.
Speaker 1: And so that will be our focus.
Speaker 3: But look, you know, just even looking ahead passed that
Speaker 3: one to the Lakers at the end of the week.
Speaker 2: Ad is tough man. Ad one of those guys.
Speaker 3: It's funny because when Ad first came into the league,
Speaker 3: Ad averaged twenty points with no sets ran for him.
Speaker 3: And so he's one of those guys that he can
Speaker 3: just get it within the flow. You don't never even
Speaker 3: have to feature him. He's still gonna be getting Obviously
Speaker 3: they feature him quite a ton. And you know a
Speaker 3: d is you know, he can put the ball on
Speaker 3: the floor. His post games, you know, got great touch
Speaker 3: around the rim. It's MIDI shooting three better this year.
Speaker 3: So Adi is a tough cover man. He's a tough cover.
Speaker 3: Most guys you're either too slow and he's put you
Speaker 3: in space, or you're too small and he puts you
Speaker 3: down on the block. Obviously we know what he's capable
Speaker 3: of defensively as well. I wish I would be out
Speaker 3: there for that game.
Speaker 1: You always love.
Speaker 3: Playing against the great s, as you know, man like,
Speaker 3: just when you get to get to have the opportunity
Speaker 3: to play against the A D and play against a
Speaker 3: Bron like those caliber guys to bring the best out
Speaker 3: of you, because you know you're gonna go out there,
Speaker 3: you're gonna get embarrassed. And so I'm pissed and miss
Speaker 3: this one. You know, I had a lot about it.
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of battles with a D and
Speaker 1: it's always fun. Like I said, it require you to
Speaker 1: be on top of your game. Did you come in
Speaker 1: their half step in and sleepwalking? It's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lone night.
Speaker 3: And with guys like that, you got to do your
Speaker 3: work early because you let them get off to a
Speaker 3: great start.
Speaker 2: You're trying to put out a fire for the rest
Speaker 2: of the night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough. It's tough.
Speaker 3: Speaking of those guys, Bron just said that they don't
Speaker 3: have much room for error on a nightly basis that
Speaker 3: the way their roster is constructed, and I know a
Speaker 3: lot of people it's like, oh, Bron Bron calling out
Speaker 3: Rob Polinka right there, which I did.
Speaker 2: I didn't take that he is.
Speaker 1: Do you think they need to make a move though,
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Uh okay, let me put my basketball hat.
Speaker 1: If I was a part of the Lakers, Lebron James
Speaker 1: needs to be the point guard.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 1: Interesting, that's maybe needs to be the person that is
Speaker 1: highly featured in the offense and roam free. It will
Speaker 1: release Austin Reeves right playing Lebron at the point at
Speaker 1: this point in his career, he's a great passer. He
Speaker 1: made great decisions and you're not tiring them out. So
Speaker 1: he's really going from free throw line extended to free
Speaker 1: throw line extended and long rebounds, pushes on the break,
Speaker 1: things like that. He'll be able to create this Like
Speaker 1: the Lakers don't get enough fast breakpoints. So the way
Speaker 1: they roster is constructed, it don't matter who they go get.
Speaker 1: They are going to struggle, right because they're always looking
Speaker 1: for the versatile three four. You had Cam Reddish, you
Speaker 1: had Vanderbilt, you had Christian Woods, you had all you know,
Speaker 1: you have all these guys, but I think really they
Speaker 1: all play the same position Lebron play and that's that
Speaker 1: three four swing. So if you take Lebron out of
Speaker 1: that three four right and put him at the point,
Speaker 1: then it'll allow those dudes to have the You'll figure
Speaker 1: out which one of those dudes out of the ability
Speaker 1: to step up and fill in that three that four,
Speaker 1: you know, with ad go to the five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1: But I felt like I just helped the Lakers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like I just helped the Lakers. And oh
Speaker 1: my boy, j J Reddick, if you want me on
Speaker 1: his staff, that's cool, but you know, I'm better just
Speaker 1: watching on TV and given suggestions a lot of film
Speaker 1: watching on that staff. Let's go around in the league
Speaker 1: a little bit. We're gonna move around the association a bit.
Speaker 3: Russ is playing great in Denver, Man He's fifteen and
Speaker 3: five as a starter. Two of those losses can versus
Speaker 3: elite teams without Joker. What do you think about Russ's
Speaker 3: your brewing resurgence this year, and really just what the
Speaker 3: opportunity has been given, because the reality is he's always
Speaker 3: played this great when he's had that. I've been in
Speaker 3: that position with that opportunity. But what do you think
Speaker 3: about just the way he's bouncing back this year.
Speaker 1: What resiliency when you think of Russ, you're just thinking
Speaker 1: of resiliency all the way. He will figure it out.
Speaker 1: Once he figures it out. He once he's able to
Speaker 1: play Russell Westbrook basketball within the confines of the team.
Speaker 1: He's always positive. It's always a positive outcome. And so
Speaker 1: having somebody like Joker is the perfect match for him, right,
Speaker 1: because he loves audishing and rewarding the big guy. And
Speaker 1: he's never had a center that place point guard that
Speaker 1: allows him to do what he's great at. Backdoor cuts,
Speaker 1: get on the offensive glass, right, all those little things
Speaker 1: from a point guard perspective, puts so much pressure on
Speaker 1: the defense, right because like imagine you playing Joker out
Speaker 1: on the five shot he shooting three. He can just
Speaker 1: shoot a three just to shoot one. It's rush down there, right.
Speaker 1: He is a bonafiing rebounder, right, and he's a force
Speaker 1: and the inside. So when you look at back door layups,
Speaker 1: pass and cutting, come off of pick and roll, getting
Speaker 1: in the middle of the LA. Even if Russ is missing,
Speaker 1: you got Joker there tipping it in. So you know, uh,
Speaker 1: and plant above plant abot of Glass. So I think
Speaker 1: that for Russ, perfect fit right for Denver, they found
Speaker 1: their elevated version of Bruce Brown, right, And that's what
Speaker 1: and and that's what they missed. I said that. I said,
Speaker 1: that's what they missed last year. They don't have that
Speaker 1: dog that can just go and you know, make some
Speaker 1: make some ship happen. You know, outside the Joker, outside
Speaker 1: of Jamal Murray, they don't have They don't have that
Speaker 1: idle person. They don't have that idle person and playmaker.
Speaker 1: Now you got that with Russ and he connected with
Speaker 1: Joker Man. They're gonna they're gonna be serious in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I know that. Yeah, they are for sure.
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody gonna want to see them during
Speaker 3: the playoffs with.
Speaker 1: The way Ruslayer, I mean, Russe is playing so well
Speaker 1: that they've had they've had, Like they're bringing Aaron Gordon
Speaker 1: off the bench, and Aaron Gordon was having a career year.
Speaker 3: Shooting the ball at extreme clip, and they're bringing him
Speaker 3: off the bench because Russe has played so well and
Speaker 3: their team has played so well with rustling.
Speaker 2: To start learning them.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, they're back to being versatile, right, They're back
Speaker 1: to being versatile and that's what they needed. Recently, Jaylen
Speaker 1: Williams said they need to be a third team all
Speaker 1: a third all defensive team and two defensive players in
Speaker 1: the year awards. What is your reaction to two Player
Speaker 1: of the years? I know when I go to the
Speaker 1: International Players ball, right, you can't have two players in
Speaker 1: a year, you know what I mean? You gotta have
Speaker 1: a playout of.
Speaker 2: The check us out.
Speaker 1: I can't agree with him.
Speaker 2: I'm cool with the thirteam, you know, third AUDI team.
Speaker 1: That makes sense.
Speaker 3: You got three r NBA teams, why wouldn't you have
Speaker 3: three all defensive teams.
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. I'm rocking with that. One percent.
Speaker 2: The second or two dp O WIE Awards are the
Speaker 2: two MVP Awards.
Speaker 3: No, there's not. So I don't understand that. I get
Speaker 3: what he was getting at, which.
Speaker 1: Is I understand there should be one for the guards
Speaker 1: and one for the bigs or one for like there
Speaker 1: should be a lockdown the war something like that should
Speaker 1: be yes, lockdown one like.
Speaker 3: I see what he's getting at, and I understand what
Speaker 3: he's trying to say. Didn't quite come out the right way,
Speaker 3: and so, which means it's not very accurate like one
Speaker 3: one is totally fine.
Speaker 1: Uh, but you know you can't have you can't have
Speaker 1: two player other years.
Speaker 2: Man, you know what he also what he should be?
Speaker 1: I think what the Battlecross should be more of. It's
Speaker 1: just like it was actually voting, because again, you can't
Speaker 1: the award can't.
Speaker 3: Go to someone every year and then a week later
Speaker 3: you can't play in a playoff series like that don't work,
Speaker 3: So all right, I think the argument has to be
Speaker 3: voting processor who actually is doing the voting.
Speaker 1: Not quite.
Speaker 3: There's two awards that just can't happen. I get what
Speaker 3: he getting that, No, sir, that don't work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it should be another defensive award that
Speaker 1: is of equal value to defensive Player of the Year award, right,
Speaker 1: because you have offense. You know you got MIP Offensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Year MVP. MVP is an offensive category.
Speaker 1: It is not a defensive category. So having something you
Speaker 1: know of that stature, right, even if it's elevated from
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year, because usually that goes to
Speaker 1: big guys, right or shot blockers somebody who left the
Speaker 1: league in block shots. But that don't mean that they
Speaker 1: don't get duck down. That don't mean that they don't
Speaker 1: get you know, I don't know. Defensive player of the
Speaker 1: Year to me means you lock everybody up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and teams trying to get away from you, you know,
Speaker 2: like when they went offensively, the things that they're doing
Speaker 2: to try to take a score.
Speaker 3: Out of the game, they need to be doing the
Speaker 3: you defensively, try to take you out the game.
Speaker 1: And if they're putting you in action, that's a problem.
Speaker 1: That's a proble. I mean when you go back and
Speaker 1: just look at a lot of the previous defensive Player
Speaker 1: of the Year, like they had to be on the
Speaker 1: floor absolutely you know, or don't work or it ain't working. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were the anchors when you show. When I showed
Speaker 1: up to Detroit and saw Ben Wallace there with that
Speaker 1: astro bro when he had the afro shooting up like that,
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I see what he you know,
Speaker 1: I know, I know what Big Ben. Or you show
Speaker 1: up to you know, Boston or Memphis and you running
Speaker 1: into Tony Allen. You know what I'm saying, Like, it's
Speaker 1: Tony Allen checking you up as soon as you put
Speaker 1: your feet on the mat. But it's a it's a
Speaker 1: personality it's an energy, but it's also like those dudes
Speaker 1: made it hard every single night and they had to
Speaker 1: be on the floor, absolutely right. You know that's it, man.
Speaker 3: We started a new segment where we're gonna get some
Speaker 3: flowers to some underrated guys, the guys that deserve to
Speaker 3: shine that don't quite get the glory for what they're doing.
Speaker 3: In this week's Player in Spotlight, it's Atlanta Hawks on
Speaker 3: young fellaw Jalen Johnson in nineteen points, ten rebound, shooting
Speaker 3: fifty and has been pivotal for the Atlanta Hawks resurgence
Speaker 3: side team that everybody counted out thought they'd be fire
Speaker 3: selling Trey and Trey has turned it around.
Speaker 1: I see Trey bin checking this year.
Speaker 3: Trey playing good basketball, trade playing team basketball. He leading
Speaker 3: them young guys and they having an unexpected year. So
Speaker 3: this week we got the young fellas Jalen Johnson, and
Speaker 3: my question to you is is he the most improved
Speaker 3: player this year? If not, who is.
Speaker 1: I'm rowling. I think he is. He's a perfect compliment
Speaker 1: to Trey Young when you look at his versatility, you know,
Speaker 1: nineteen points, ten rebounds, fifty percent shooting from the field,
Speaker 1: you know, inside on the offensive glass, you know, fast breaks,
Speaker 1: three pointer highlights. Talking about somebody who made that lead.
Speaker 1: He took it upon himself to be that guy what
Speaker 1: John Collins, you know what John Collins was was for
Speaker 1: Trey Young. He's that in elevator, absolutely right, and he
Speaker 1: gives them a certain versatility where he can guard almost
Speaker 1: one through five. With the way that they play and
Speaker 1: the way he handles the ball, the way he is
Speaker 1: a playmaker, it opens up a lot for Trade to
Speaker 1: be off the ball and be more oppotent in the offense.
Speaker 1: So talking about somebody who has improved a team and
Speaker 1: also improved him, So Jalen Johnson has put himself right
Speaker 1: in the category where he's that number two guy in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: I think he playing great basketball and I definitely think
Speaker 3: he the most improved player just with the leaf he's taken.
Speaker 2: I can stamp that on for show most definitely.
Speaker 1: Also, I have to say if he don't get it close,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, going with Storm and Norman, right,
Speaker 1: uh less is more Norman Powell. What I want to
Speaker 1: see him make the All Star Game. If he makes
Speaker 1: this All Star Game, he is definitely most improved player.
Speaker 1: Talk about somebody you know, having him on the show,
Speaker 1: just his level of improvement, getting a chance and taking
Speaker 1: full advantage of that chance. You gotta puint Jalen Johnson
Speaker 1: and Norman Powell right there.
Speaker 3: Most definitely, I think Norm's having a great year. I
Speaker 3: hope to see him being All Star.
Speaker 1: Tough.
Speaker 3: It's a numbrous game, but it's always tough, especially to
Speaker 3: get your first one. But Norman's definitely improved man. Since
Speaker 3: he first came into the league. He was a non
Speaker 3: shooter and now that's what he do, you know, and
Speaker 3: so just to make that jump in himself, it's incredible.
Speaker 2: Uh So, you know, I think.
Speaker 3: I think ultimately he will get a NOD and end
Speaker 3: up in an All Star Game, whether it's getting a
Speaker 3: NOD originally or someone gets hurt and he But I
Speaker 3: definitely think uh dorm and Norman Pole should and will
Speaker 3: get an All Star nod.
Speaker 1: Most Improved Player. I will go with Jalen Johnson just because.
Speaker 3: You know, Norm just at the level that the young
Speaker 3: fella's going.
Speaker 1: But also Norm is like taking more advantage of an opportunity,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like we knew coming off
Speaker 1: the bench, Norm was getting buckets, you know, what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like we knew capable of getting the buckets. I think
Speaker 1: he's just stepped into more of an opportunity, more of
Speaker 1: a role, with the opportunity of being there and just
Speaker 1: taking advantage of it.
Speaker 3: But I'm not sure I can go most improved because
Speaker 3: Norm been so that's my thing with Norm with that,
Speaker 3: but he's definitely deserving to be in an All Star
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go bro as far as up. Recently,
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippin says he wins six rings without Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1: This is water.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: That's when you tell your friends, man, take a shot.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with Scotty? Man?
Speaker 2: Somebody got checked on to Scotty.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I'm a I grew up watching them teams. Man, I'm
Speaker 2: a I'm a big Scotti fan.
Speaker 1: Scotty.
Speaker 3: I don't know what Scotty going through, man, but I
Speaker 3: send my love because.
Speaker 1: I'm Dad asked man.
Speaker 3: Because you start making comments like Scotty been making later
Speaker 3: people start to remember you for those comments and not
Speaker 3: necessarily for being Scotty pipping, and I don't like that,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like people try to downplay
Speaker 3: who you are and what you've done, but because in
Speaker 3: the comments you made, lady, and I just don't want
Speaker 3: to see people doing that to Scotty because Scotty is
Speaker 3: for damn sure Scotti. And that's why I say, man like,
Speaker 3: I just want like to make sure Scotty good man
Speaker 3: because saying stuff like that, like he said him and
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan they never sat down for dinner. Like to me,
Speaker 3: it sounds like it's coming from a place of pain,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying that like MJ. He feeling
Speaker 3: like MJ kind of never maybe showing him the love
Speaker 3: that he ultimately think MJ should show, and he's like
Speaker 3: outwardly looking for that and saying things to like downplay
Speaker 3: it as opposed to just saying like like I feel
Speaker 3: like he kind of said it like man, man and
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan they never had set down and sit down
Speaker 3: and had dinner to one on one, like I feel
Speaker 3: like he crying out and saying what he's really crying
Speaker 3: out for and about, and like, make that happen, man Like, Like,
Speaker 3: somebody get MJ and Scotti together because if he feel
Speaker 3: like he did that, like it ain't gonna happen, no, Dad,
Speaker 3: as though, check it out check us about broexus gonna
Speaker 3: have checks us out.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying. I'm not saying I'm Scottie Pipper. But
Speaker 3: what I am saying is, if somewhere down the line,
Speaker 3: twenty years from now, I want to have dinner with
Speaker 3: Steph Curry, I would hope that I can have dinner
Speaker 3: with Steph Kurry. You know what I'm saying, Like that
Speaker 3: with all that you've been through with somebody like you
Speaker 3: go through these journeys and winning championships them, ship's not easy.
Speaker 1: And yeah, to go on those journeys and.
Speaker 3: Not even be able to sit down and have dinner
Speaker 3: like I feel like that Scotty's outcry and so.
Speaker 1: But Michael Jordan don't need dinner. Michael Jordan, do eat.
Speaker 2: Dinner, man, the black cat Man.
Speaker 1: I never heard about Michael Jordan's having dinner with nobody.
Speaker 1: And that's fine, but he also want like it's Mike
Speaker 1: and Scotti man like, and it don't matter to anybody else.
Speaker 1: I got Gotti. You need that. I know, no he
Speaker 1: doing for that, he is crying out for that, but
Speaker 1: you know, shout out to Michael Jordan's right, of course,
Speaker 1: Michael and Jordan's don't kid, hey, fly, he ain't tripping
Speaker 1: at all. Of course you feel me, Hey, Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: is not tripping. Okay, huh what dinner?
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Are you kidding? I wonder why
Speaker 3: he didn't go to dinner with Scottie. It's all making
Speaker 3: sense now when you look at the whole picture. It's
Speaker 3: all making sense now.
Speaker 1: Though. Man, I'm here to who Michael Jordan was, Like,
Speaker 1: I am here to who. I do my job. I'm
Speaker 1: here to do my job. I'm not here to be
Speaker 1: friends with you. I'm not here to be on this court.
Speaker 1: Oh man, we family. I love y'all. Until Michael Jordan's defense.
Speaker 1: Every time he speaks in an interview, he always say Scotty,
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. Don't never say Michael Jordan what I say?
Speaker 1: Scottie pipped. Michael Jordan's always say Scottie Brocott always say okay,
Speaker 1: I get it. He should Michael Jordan. If you hear me,
Speaker 1: if you can hear me, now, please bro go sit
Speaker 1: down with your dog. You know what I mean, y'all,
Speaker 1: chop it up. We need to see a Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1: Maybe we can do a Michael Jordan Scottie Pippin interview, right,
Speaker 1: because right here on Draymond Green the Bad Day, right,
Speaker 1: Come on, right, Michael, Come on, Michael Jordan. I look,
Speaker 1: I got my ball head just like my I know, hey,
Speaker 1: I know how Mike feel because when I cut my
Speaker 1: hair off. No, I don't want to have been These
Speaker 1: are ballhead dogs. These are Mike Dude, black cat, Mike
Speaker 1: j Scotty. Scottie Pippen is. He's a legend, man, but
Speaker 1: we gotta do it better. I say this, we gotta
Speaker 1: do a better job of talking about how great Scottie
Speaker 1: Pippen was, for sure, but he ain't gonna get it
Speaker 1: doing this dumb ship. No, he got it.
Speaker 2: Chill.
Speaker 1: Let us do the talking, Scott, let us do the
Speaker 1: Compare Scottie Pippen to different people. Lebron jam Man is
Speaker 1: Lebron James Chase his ring. I got my bro. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna say you better to Lebron.
Speaker 2: Come on, Scotty like you.
Speaker 1: That's not the way to get this is what I say.
Speaker 1: You're better, That's crazy. This is what I do say.
Speaker 1: Lebron is more of a combination of Magic Johnson and
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen and he is compared to Michael Jordan, and
Speaker 1: that's fine.
Speaker 3: But he's a combination of Scotty and magic, which means
Speaker 3: Scotty stopped.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Scotty, I'm saying better than maybe saying that's the stop.
Speaker 1: That's how Scotty got six rings man. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: Nobody taking out away. He can pop that.
Speaker 2: No, you can, but like some ship at a certain point,
Speaker 2: like for instance.
Speaker 3: All right, so so pretty much what you're saying is this,
Speaker 3: You're pretty much saying I can walk around.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like.
Speaker 3: You don't don't do like I got exactly, don't do
Speaker 3: it exactly.
Speaker 1: Don't do that. I'm better than take them all. That's
Speaker 1: not I'm better than klose nobody what you're saying, that's
Speaker 1: you and Kawhi don't even play the same position.
Speaker 3: I agree, But but like it's not that's like not close stop.
Speaker 1: It is. Yes, I'm saying, Scottie Pippen is a three.
Speaker 1: Lebron is a mode of Scottie Pippen and means magic.
Speaker 1: You know, Lebron is a mode Lebron, Right, He's a
Speaker 1: one on one for sure. But when you look at
Speaker 1: Lebron's gang, Magic Johnson, Scottie Pippen right, and all of
Speaker 1: the ism that make Lebron Lebron right. And so Scottie
Speaker 1: Pippen is looking at it like, man, I'm a three
Speaker 1: here three. You know, as Scottie Pippen puts himself as
Speaker 1: he should in the upper echelon of threes.
Speaker 3: Bron ain't never really even been in three. He really
Speaker 3: like a point guard. He came in as a point guard.
Speaker 3: But even if you want to say Bron's a three, great,
Speaker 3: say a three, say a four, I really don't give
Speaker 3: a damn Brin.
Speaker 2: Scottie Pippen is not in the same category.
Speaker 1: They are not category.
Speaker 2: That's just not the I said.
Speaker 1: I said Scottie Pippen, he as a three, has won
Speaker 1: six championship. He's standing on his six championships, and he's
Speaker 1: standing on I killed in the finals, Defensive Player of
Speaker 1: the Year, All Stars, he's standing on all that. I think,
Speaker 1: you know, when he compare himself to Broun, that's just
Speaker 1: having confidence in himself.
Speaker 3: Scott career, Scotty's career minus the rings twice for sure, right,
Speaker 3: minus the sixth rings He's had.
Speaker 1: Scotty's career twice Scotty messed up, if not three times,
Speaker 1: he's he's had scot Scott Scotty messed up with this.
Speaker 3: Come on, Scotty, you feel I'm on Scott be side
Speaker 3: by the way. I got number love for Scotty, But
Speaker 3: come on, Scotty winning those six rings without and.
Speaker 2: That's if that's the case that left you would have
Speaker 2: kept winning the ring, Scotty.
Speaker 1: Like he would have went back in the game.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like, come on, Scotty.
Speaker 1: You would have went back in the game, took playing.
Speaker 6: I can't believe you just tried to testify. I didn't
Speaker 6: trying to justify nothing. I was speaking from his point
Speaker 6: of view. Yeah, I'm fishing you off today.
Speaker 1: Are very accurate Magic, Scottie pipot right. That is, when
Speaker 1: you look at Lebron's game, he embodies both of those
Speaker 1: players roll very very not like m J. No, not
Speaker 1: even They're not the same, not even close to totally
Speaker 1: Kobe m J. Lebron Magic and Scottie Pippen as I
Speaker 1: don't stop that magic again. I'm a Scottie Pippen fan.
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen does.
Speaker 3: Not belong in the category with Magic Johnson and Lebron James.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Scotty, is is the legend. I'm sorry, Scotty, is.
Speaker 1: Just that I love that category. Bro, Scottie Pipper going
Speaker 1: that category with Lebron James and not putting them in
Speaker 1: the category. Come on, he just like great magic Johnson,
Speaker 1: the greatness of Scottie Pippen. Mix that all together, you
Speaker 1: get Lebron James.
Speaker 2: I don't know that's that's that's too simple.
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying like like that was both, but
Speaker 3: I'm saying like that ain't gonna get it done.
Speaker 1: Everything. Think about it, Bro, and then and then it's
Speaker 1: it's somebody, and then it's and then it's lebron ism Right,
Speaker 1: it's his, it's his approach and his swag. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you think about magic and you think about how
Speaker 1: Pippin play right like that is the quarnerstone of the
Speaker 1: greatness of Lebron James. I said, he I moved equally
Speaker 1: as great right like Scottie Pippen's greatness defense all the
Speaker 1: things he did. Then you got magic with the ooh
Speaker 1: and just the magic. Then you add what Lebron got
Speaker 1: with the hops, the athleticism and strength. That's like, Bro,
Speaker 1: he the perfect combination of them two and Karl Malone.
Speaker 1: That's I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3: So I had to just move my mind past category
Speaker 3: and what I had.
Speaker 2: To allow my money to do is combine the two players,
Speaker 2: and combine in those two players.
Speaker 1: It's like, that's insane. That's insane. That's Lebron James. That's what.
Speaker 3: So I can follow you a little bit. Then you
Speaker 3: I have Carl Malone and they're like I said a lot,
Speaker 3: all right, I rest he built like Karl Malone. Lebron
Speaker 3: James is built like Carmelone.
Speaker 1: He the same. He the same size as Carl Malone,
Speaker 1: which is crazy.
Speaker 2: That's crazy, no sense, man, that's just crazy.
Speaker 1: I have to garden him. I have to garden Lebron. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he like garden Carl Malone and Magic Johnson all in
Speaker 1: the same one to be for Bron to be the
Speaker 1: same size as Karl Malone for those of y'all that's
Speaker 1: never seen Carl Malone and the person that man, Man,
Speaker 1: that's problem.
Speaker 3: And Bron him and Bron actually in the same size,
Speaker 3: which makes no that's crazy, bro.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, all right, man, get at me. Weekly

Speaker 2: her contests on the three, it wasn't real. It was
Speaker 2: just like it was just kind of a little tired.
Speaker 3: And when I saw the contest and it was a
Speaker 3: little tired, I was just like, yeah.
Speaker 1: This Saint, this ain't it. This ain't the answer. Like,
Speaker 1: and you know, I have to try. I try to
Speaker 1: be very careful with my words because the women's players,
Speaker 1: they get really upset at me.
Speaker 2: They coming for you, they like to be they be
Speaker 2: coming at me. But I just got to tell the
Speaker 2: truth because I had a lot of respect.
Speaker 3: For them, for them, them women hoopers. They they are
Speaker 3: great basketball players. And I understand, you know, the need
Speaker 3: to not want to go overseas and like I understand
Speaker 3: all of that, but I'm just not sure three on
Speaker 3: three league is the answer because it's a different break.
Speaker 3: It's not the same thing, like for the brand of
Speaker 3: basketball that we know these women for and what they're
Speaker 3: great at. Like I'm sorry, but me watching Sabrina and
Speaker 3: you and es School playing a three on three league,
Speaker 3: I'm not getting a real Sabrinian eSchool that I just
Speaker 3: watched whin the WNBA finals.
Speaker 1: She's not playing the same game.
Speaker 3: Like you can take some of these three on three
Speaker 3: teams from the unrival team and you know they've been
Speaker 3: practicing now so they'll be better.
Speaker 1: But they could possibly.
Speaker 3: Run up against one of those real three on three
Speaker 3: teams that this is what they've been doing for fifteen.
Speaker 2: Years and lose.
Speaker 3: And yet if you put them in a five or
Speaker 3: five game with that same team, they beat them by sixty.
Speaker 3: But it's just a totally different It's a totally different
Speaker 3: brand of basketball. And I just don't think you know,
Speaker 3: when you look at growing the women's game, that a
Speaker 3: three on three league is about to grow the women's game.
Speaker 3: You know they're gonna make money, and they you know,
Speaker 3: their whole thing is we're making more money. The average
Speaker 3: salary is higher than the MAC salary or something like
Speaker 3: that in the WNBA. Like, I get all of that,
Speaker 3: and I want to say, first off, I mean we're
Speaker 3: backtrack a little bit. Kudos to not FISA and I
Speaker 3: think Stewart for even getting this off the ground like this,
Speaker 3: because as any start in any league is impossible, so
Speaker 3: for them to get it off the ground, I want
Speaker 3: I want to make sure that I do let them
Speaker 3: know that I respect that just the business of getting
Speaker 3: that off the ground is impossible, and they did it,
Speaker 3: so I respect that. But like I said, I just
Speaker 3: don't think that a three on three league is the answer.
Speaker 3: And it's showcasing these women's game like it should be
Speaker 3: showcased for the growth to continue to be the growth.
Speaker 3: And so I think the answer is somewhere between, like
Speaker 3: you got to get more WNBA games, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, You got to get the season longer, you
Speaker 3: got to get all of those things.
Speaker 1: But I just don't think.
Speaker 3: The answer to their ultimate problem, like, yes, it's three
Speaker 3: on three, you know what I'm saying. It's a good fix, right,
Speaker 3: like to make more money, Like it works, but it's
Speaker 3: not the final answer. I just don't think.
Speaker 1: So. Yeah, I mean I would. I watched it. I
Speaker 1: have to agree with you all watching it, I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm more afraid of because it's like summer runs.
Speaker 1: It's a competitive summer runs that you know you're pron
Speaker 1: the engine. Okay, number two, I would like to discover
Speaker 1: new talent right and be introduced to new talent, right.
Speaker 1: So I think the superstar is playing right. I don't
Speaker 1: think that it elevates they're starting right because there's a
Speaker 1: mistique right about a superstar that you cannot pay me
Speaker 1: enough to play. Now, I get it, they're making money.
Speaker 1: This is cool. I like the league. I like the
Speaker 1: you know, I like seeing the women hope, but in
Speaker 1: a three on three setting when you're looking at matchups
Speaker 1: and one on one matchups and you know one the
Speaker 1: time they take two, like the quarters are hell alone,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But there's no matchups. I
Speaker 1: want to see a matchup that I can buy into.
Speaker 1: I want to see a matchup where certain people are
Speaker 1: going at each other or new talent being discovered going
Speaker 1: at somebody. So for me, I think I want to
Speaker 1: keep watching. I'm fully in support of women own Women
Speaker 1: Invested League. I want to see this league grow into
Speaker 1: something of its own where it is a discovery of talent,
Speaker 1: but it also is a place that we want to
Speaker 1: watch more women's basketball. My only issue is when the
Speaker 1: superstars are playing in the off season and it's highly competitive,
Speaker 1: you are more prone to injury, and they don't travel.
Speaker 1: So if they travel, then you can build the fan base.
Speaker 1: But I think it's hard to be in one space,
Speaker 1: one place to watch, the same backdrop, the same setting,
Speaker 1: and not have the energy of the fans a part
Speaker 1: of it. Whether it's a big you know, whether it's
Speaker 1: a big arena or a small arena. I want to
Speaker 1: see different cities. And if they traveled the game, it
Speaker 1: would expand the game. So that's just you know, me
Speaker 1: putting my thinking had on as a part. If they
Speaker 1: wanted to hire me, that that would be cool too.
Speaker 3: Respect that you played in a Big three, Like what's
Speaker 3: should like? Do you do you see some comparison to
Speaker 3: the Big Three in this league?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. The Big Three ain't helped the game of
Speaker 1: basketball growing. Bit, no disrespect the c I love what
Speaker 1: they're doing, but it ain't They ain't help to grow
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, the intentions of the Big Three is
Speaker 1: not pure. They are doing a service right to our sport,
Speaker 1: giving people jobs, giving people outlet, so I always support that.
Speaker 1: But I don't really think that the Big Three is
Speaker 1: as tightly organized and structure as a rival. Right. But
Speaker 1: playing in the Big Three, it's tough because it's half court,
Speaker 1: people in shape, people not in shape, frustrated, retired. But
Speaker 1: the cool thing about the Big Three was when I played.
Speaker 1: I got a chance to play against dudes that I
Speaker 1: played against, dudes that I was teammates with, that was
Speaker 1: my homeboys. But I don't think I think half court.
Speaker 1: So I like the full court versus the half because
Speaker 1: I always say, like, man, it's just you're watching motherfucker's
Speaker 1: break all day. Yeah, and Draymond I'm unstoppable and three
Speaker 1: on three, I just got hurt. He was unstoppable. It
Speaker 1: was as out there unstoppable, Hey, bro, unstoppable unstoppable. You
Speaker 1: know my thing was, I was like, well, nobody could
Speaker 1: guard me when I was in the league. What makes
Speaker 1: him think that they're gonna be able to guard me?
Speaker 2: I can't move no more, not a club left to right,
Speaker 2: right to left. That don't work no more.
Speaker 1: Dramn. I post you up, buckets and.
Speaker 2: Guard I can't see you.
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, defensive player of the year, you hear that.
Speaker 1: I will post you up, bro and give buckets song.
Speaker 3: When Kyle Lar retired and been retired for about fire fires,
Speaker 3: Josha have a post matchup.
Speaker 1: He too. Come on, that's that's the little home.
Speaker 2: Y'all shall have a post matchup.
Speaker 1: We're the big dogs. You gotta think they used to
Speaker 1: put all big guards threes. You man, you're right in
Speaker 1: that will house. Just want to see to I'm like
Speaker 1: a Kim Elijah Wondale.

Speaker 1: with the Knicks, when he was working out of mari
Speaker 1: and he was doing the workout. Man, there's an ultimate compliment. Ever,
Speaker 1: King walking, I'm walking on the court. I started rebounding
Speaker 1: at the end. King walked off the court. He said, man,
Speaker 1: he don't know you right here. He could have wow wow.
Speaker 1: If I'm lying, I'm flying bro jamond.
Speaker 3: Wow hey he oh oh hey, listen up and unders
Speaker 3: listen though he gashed to relax.
Speaker 1: No way, gosh. I want the fans to pull up baron,
Speaker 1: make a baron Davis post highlight so you can watch it.
Speaker 1: And then you tell me, oh, I can guard him
Speaker 1: in the post. I used to. I mean no offense.
Speaker 1: You are the defensive player of the year. I am guarded.
Speaker 1: I used to watch David so I remember you posting
Speaker 1: up but funk out. He was too little.
Speaker 2: Crazy jump, get.
Speaker 1: None of that. All them you know, all them fouls
Speaker 1: you be doing and once he ain't got you ain't
