Speaker 1: The volume.
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody, Welcome back to the Draymond Green Show
Speaker 2: with my brother BD.
Speaker 3: Let's have just having what some big dog. That chilling bro,
Speaker 3: you know, just doing it.
Speaker 2: Before we get into the show, y'all, remember to subscribe
Speaker 2: to The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis so you
Speaker 2: don't miss any episodes today.
Speaker 1: We got a lot to cover, so let's get right
Speaker 1: into it. But don't forget to follow us on all
Speaker 1: social media. That's at Draymond's show, dub Nation. What's happening?
Speaker 1: Birthday boy with a win, Damn mayor triple double?
Speaker 3: Okay, you know what I mean? First half garden. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. Come on, y'all, you in the garden.
Speaker 1: Steph another legendary performance. He thirteen and one in the garden.
Speaker 1: By the way, if you count the games with Davidson, Man,
Speaker 1: just how you feeling talk about? I love what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I love this triple double because remember I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: we gotta start stacking these double doubles for defensive Player.
Speaker 3: Of the Year. So come on, man, how we doing?
Speaker 3: How what are we talking about? Feeling amazing?
Speaker 2: Bro had the double double on Charlotte definitely should have
Speaker 2: had one last night, probably a triple double. But I
Speaker 2: was that first half of them back to backs man,
Speaker 2: them legs being nootally first half of them the backs.
Speaker 3: Man. So I'm feeling good. Man.
Speaker 2: I feel like I've been way more aggressive as of late,
Speaker 2: which which I feel very comfortable with. You know, having
Speaker 2: Jimmy has really a lot more of the aggressiveness for
Speaker 2: me because everything he's talking to me about is yoe,
Speaker 2: we need somebody getting to the rim, get down, here'll
Speaker 2: go go go so. And then obviously also the attention
Speaker 2: he draws, you know, and it's opened up the floor
Speaker 2: and creating different opportunities. So, you know, I feel like
Speaker 2: I'm playing well though. But man, that performance in the
Speaker 2: garden last night, that was crazy.
Speaker 3: Steph put on this. Jimmy took over the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you managed the game well.
Speaker 2: I felt like I played. I played pretty good, you know,
Speaker 2: really good. I feel like it's coming together for us,
Speaker 2: bro like like that. That was a big game for us,
Speaker 2: and they ain't had a cat but the show. It's
Speaker 2: always fun playing in the garden, man, And I didn't
Speaker 2: realize the success we've had, Like I remember frequently winning there,
Speaker 2: but I didn't realize.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dominate there, dominating there. That's suppressive.
Speaker 1: You know this Steve Tayling stuff to come on and
Speaker 1: Steve telling me, come on, man, hit the night night Sally,
Speaker 1: come on, man, what's all that about you?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Really? Yeah? Feeling it though. I like it. Man.
Speaker 1: Even after the game, Shack was saying, I demand fans
Speaker 1: to start putting Steph in the go conversation you've been
Speaker 1: talking about this.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 1: I believe that he's he was the next evolution of
Speaker 1: a game changer and an evolution of a game. He
Speaker 1: should be in that conversation.
Speaker 3: Uh, he.
Speaker 2: Is in that conversation, and he one thousand percent belongs
Speaker 2: in that conversation when you talk about what he's done,
Speaker 2: what he does on the basketball court, There's no one
Speaker 2: in the history of the NBA, and with all due
Speaker 2: respect to Lebron James, with all due respect to Michael Jordan,
Speaker 2: with all due respect to my favorite player of all times,
Speaker 2: d great Shaquille.
Speaker 3: O'Neill, there's no one in the history of the NBA.
Speaker 2: That has been schemed against and guarded the way Steph
Speaker 2: Curry is guarded.
Speaker 3: I mean, you like.
Speaker 2: Teams throw their whole defense at him playing in the
Speaker 2: NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers and got why open
Speaker 2: layups dunks in transition because he's running on the wing
Speaker 2: and they'd rather go run and take the three away
Speaker 2: from him on the wing and give me a dunk.
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant, one of the greatest scorers we've ever seen,
Speaker 2: got why open dunks straight down the lane because Steph
Speaker 2: Curry's on one wing, Klay Thompson on the other wing,
Speaker 2: and they just run. But Steph Curry, who I'm speaking
Speaker 2: about right now, the defense, the defenses that he's faced
Speaker 2: still to this day, he's in year sixteen and teams
Speaker 2: still throw.
Speaker 3: Three and four defenders at him on the given possession.
Speaker 2: You know by how much he gets blits, Like everything
Speaker 2: is designed to try to take this guy away, because
Speaker 2: you know, against some teams you say, yo, let's let
Speaker 2: this guy do that and let's take everything else away.
Speaker 2: The game plan is never to let Stephans just get
Speaker 2: his because you know how demoralizing it is, and then
Speaker 2: obviously impact on the game. The way the game of
Speaker 2: basketball is played, not an NBA I said. The game
Speaker 2: of basketball is played for a while, it's because of
Speaker 2: Steph Curry.
Speaker 3: For sure, you tell me the game of basketball is modeled.
Speaker 2: After how you play the game and what you were
Speaker 2: so special at that everybody thought that, Yo, that's what
Speaker 2: we need to do. And you're telling me that guy,
Speaker 2: don't go into god conversation. Also tell me that Steve
Speaker 2: Jobs and the greatest CEOs that's ever walked this planet
Speaker 2: Earth either then tell me that too.
Speaker 1: Then I always say goats traveling herds. So you know,
Speaker 1: you can look at multiple different players and consider them,
Speaker 1: you know, a part of the greatest of all time,
Speaker 1: the greatest ever do it? Like people get into the
Speaker 1: debate about individual people, but I look at like the canvas, right,
Speaker 1: the NBA is the lou you know, Michael Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: may beat a Michaelangelo and assistant Chapel. Steph Curry comes
Speaker 1: along and becomes a Mona Lisa, right or you know,
Speaker 1: and so it is. You know, he definitely deserves you know,
Speaker 1: his name in that conversation. And I think, you know,
Speaker 1: when you're talking about go and go conversation once again,
Speaker 1: you gotta talk about it's multiple people because it's multiple
Speaker 1: different positions, multiple errors. It's most like every five years
Speaker 1: the league changed like we was talking about the face
Speaker 1: of the league the other day, right, and you know,
Speaker 1: the face of the league is consumed by he who wins,
Speaker 1: right or he who has the illess stole. I think
Speaker 1: that Steph has transcended a whole new era. Like if
Speaker 1: you think about, you know, just the NBA and the
Speaker 1: NBA from an image perspective, the suburban kid has a
Speaker 1: chance to be great. You know, it never was there,
Speaker 1: you know, a tie where you know, the story reflect
Speaker 1: the story of struggle was always prevalent to someone's success
Speaker 1: in the NBA and never really was there like a
Speaker 1: middle class you know, well really upper class kid, right,
Speaker 1: who broke through the barriers. Not only that, not only
Speaker 1: an upper class kid, but the son of an NBA
Speaker 1: player breaking through that threshold. So I mean you can
Speaker 1: say there was one you know players before which there
Speaker 1: were who made it to the league, but like not
Speaker 1: with this threshold, this impact, and so it created a
Speaker 1: whole new you know, surge of NBA players, former NBA players,
Speaker 1: great college players, great street ball players. Now their kids
Speaker 1: is looking at Oh, look at this kid. You know,
Speaker 1: he looked like a dude. That's uh you know, uh
Speaker 1: at the jungle, like I grew up at the Jungle gym, right,
Speaker 1: he looked he looked like somebody, he looked like somebody
Speaker 1: that's in an art class, right, And there he is
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the NBA. And so
Speaker 1: that you know, is more recognizable, more relatable. And now
Speaker 1: you know, every kid from every suburb, from every hood
Speaker 1: is changing their style of game and changing even their
Speaker 1: persona right to reflect more Steph Curry. And I think
Speaker 1: that's why you got a lot of great kids in
Speaker 1: this league, a lot of good, good people, right, And
Speaker 1: you know you have that, you have that now broader
Speaker 1: family support, and you know people don't look at all
Speaker 1: the elements. So when it comes to, you know, being
Speaker 1: a game changer, what that does.
Speaker 2: Due to Steph Curry's success and you just hit on it,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take it a step further due to his
Speaker 2: success and Clay due to the level of success that
Speaker 2: Steph has had being a former or being the son
Speaker 2: of a former retired NBA player.
Speaker 3: And it's not that there.
Speaker 2: Weren't guys before that were the son of NBA players,
Speaker 2: but you haven't seen them with this frequency the NBA
Speaker 2: players stunts that's in the NBA now crazy with this
Speaker 2: frequency and due to STEP's greatness, the NBA in basketball
Speaker 2: in general has become a rich kid Sportsketball was for
Speaker 2: myself a lot of other guys, we had a chance.
Speaker 2: It was our way out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a chance.
Speaker 2: As a poor kid. There's a hoop at the park
Speaker 2: up the street, and you just need a basketball and
Speaker 2: we can go play. You know, we can play outside.
Speaker 2: And so as a poor kid, it was it was
Speaker 2: a means and the way out for a lot of us.
Speaker 2: Lebron James, the poor kid. Basketball was the way out.
Speaker 2: And the Curry is with rare now it's more likely
Speaker 2: that Gilbert Arena's son is going to make it to
Speaker 2: the NBA, Trevor Reese's son is going to make it
Speaker 2: to the NBA, and they are better suited now to
Speaker 2: make it to the NBA than the kid from the neighborhood.
Speaker 3: It's flipped mix time, bro, big time.
Speaker 2: Because of the level of skill that Steph Curry possesses.
Speaker 2: Skilled training has become so big so training kids now
Speaker 2: and the training that these kids get.
Speaker 3: Now it's expensive.
Speaker 2: We can guide them through and we know the trainers
Speaker 2: we know, like Ronnie worked out with Chris Johnson, when
Speaker 2: he was in high school, you know, like we know
Speaker 2: the trainers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, son, it's traps.
Speaker 2: Probably gonna go to the NBA because it's set up
Speaker 2: up that way. Now it is so much training, and
Speaker 2: the kid in the neighborhood now he can't get that
Speaker 2: level of training.
Speaker 1: You get to the train station, but you two days late.
Speaker 1: Everybody done took their trains in their routes. So the
Speaker 1: kid in the neighborhood, our route used to be play
Speaker 1: at the park, play at the school or whatnot. Then
Speaker 1: get discovered at the YMCA or the park league. Then
Speaker 1: somebody will say, yo, you want to play on all
Speaker 1: start Sea and you play on the all starts. It
Speaker 1: was like you work your way up and you have
Speaker 1: to really like battle and fight to earn your seat
Speaker 1: on the AAU squad. Now those kids in the hood
Speaker 1: they don't even have. Like the kids is so rich
Speaker 1: that you can't even afford to access the tournaments to
Speaker 1: show like man I got it. It used to be
Speaker 1: a team we used to play against CARLT the Warriors.
Speaker 1: If I didn't play on my AAU, tell how to
Speaker 1: play for them. They was out of watch and they
Speaker 1: would raise money and they would be in the same
Speaker 1: tournaments and James Lee wind up becoming you know, going
Speaker 1: to San Francisco. But like it was dudes, I grew
Speaker 1: up from my neighborhood like oh, like damn, they got
Speaker 1: a squad too, and they and they can show him.
Speaker 1: Now you can't because if you ain't Nike, if you
Speaker 1: ain't Adidas, if you ain't Puma, Like where do you
Speaker 1: where do you go to get seen? And it's really
Speaker 1: like an access game now, so you know, and I
Speaker 1: hate this Basketball is becoming a one trick pony as
Speaker 1: far as stories, the type of talent you're looking for,
Speaker 1: the type of player you're looking for, and like everybody,
Speaker 1: it's like becoming a factory and it's not. It's not
Speaker 1: an art collective, right, Like we not appreciate like nobody's
Speaker 1: everybody's the same, so you know, and then that goes
Speaker 1: back to Steph Curry, like you know, look at that effect,
Speaker 1: like everybody, every kid and every point guard, even every
Speaker 1: big man now is shooting threes. You know, there's always
Speaker 1: a gift, uh and a curse. But I think the
Speaker 1: game being too expensive this allows access to you know,
Speaker 1: the next Draymond, right because they ain't gonna go looking
Speaker 1: for no, Draymond. That's the fact, and so we gotta
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta keep we gotta keep that same
Speaker 1: juxtaposition or that energy, because the league is is not
Speaker 1: about just rich kids playing the sport.
Speaker 3: You know, that's a fact.
Speaker 2: Every rich kid could be skilled, you know, and do
Speaker 2: all the skill training, but every rich kid ain't gonna
Speaker 2: have how to dog.
Speaker 3: That's Steph Curry.
Speaker 1: Sure, Steph Curry different, he programmed, absolutely right.
Speaker 3: We had a conversation about this.
Speaker 1: What's the difference between like if somebody is a dog
Speaker 1: and somebody got skilled, you can't dog a person who's
Speaker 1: highly skilled. And the person who's highly skilled probably has
Speaker 1: way more levels to.
Speaker 3: Be a beast and a monster than just you being
Speaker 3: a dog and having that dog in you.
Speaker 2: If you got a guy that's highly skilled and he
Speaker 2: ain't got no dog, your mind is automatically going to
Speaker 2: be like, I'm much just bullying. Yeah right, Like I'm
Speaker 2: a bullying and I'm not even going to allow you
Speaker 2: to access that skill.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna just rough you up. I'm gonna get
Speaker 3: like you're gonna back down.
Speaker 2: Then once I get you to back down, now you
Speaker 2: don't even really want the ball because.
Speaker 3: You don't want to deal with that.
Speaker 2: It always revers back to that, and winning always reverse
Speaker 2: back to them, because if you don't have the doll
Speaker 2: everything else you're trying to accomplish it, it gets thrown
Speaker 2: off track. But I would say, you know, for the kids,
Speaker 2: you know, I just said, it's a rich kid sport.
Speaker 2: For the kids that are like myself and like you
Speaker 2: that's still coming from the neighborhood. You may not have
Speaker 2: the access to the type of training that say, my
Speaker 2: son will have access to, your son would have access to.
Speaker 2: But being a musician, being an artist, like BD just said,
Speaker 2: being an artist and figuring out the artistry of the game, yep,
Speaker 2: you can just do that and guess what. They still
Speaker 2: make basketball course, they still make basketballs. If you get
Speaker 2: your handle right, your game tight, work on that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you may not be as strong when you get to
Speaker 2: a level go to not being strong enough. Don't mean
Speaker 2: you can't be tough enough, right, but you may not
Speaker 2: be as strong. You may not test off the charts
Speaker 2: like somebody else will because of the trend they had.
Speaker 3: That's fine. Master the game. That's it.
Speaker 2: Master the game for the kid that don't have the
Speaker 2: access to all the stuff if you just master the game,
Speaker 2: and all that simply requires is going to the gym,
Speaker 2: going outside and dribbling the basketball. Those still things that
Speaker 2: those who do that, that'll never go away. Any rim
Speaker 2: you can find outside don't matter if you put that
Speaker 2: work in. As that young kid that ain't got nothing,
Speaker 2: they're still a path.
Speaker 1: If you and I were growing up in today's air, right,
Speaker 1: the path would be a little easier because you have
Speaker 1: help along the way. So like we're not discouraging, we're
Speaker 1: saying like you will, they will fight. Talent will be
Speaker 1: found once you put the work in right. And the
Speaker 1: way the landscape is for basketball right with nil right,
Speaker 1: it gives people like us growing up an opportunity to
Speaker 1: start taking care of our family, even at an earlier age.
Speaker 1: So take care of the business. Take care of that.
Speaker 1: And the knowledge too. No people know you know, no
Speaker 1: players know their style, know what they play like, know
Speaker 1: what they shoot, like how they run. All this is
Speaker 1: is is the beauty and the magic. Like I think
Speaker 1: about you a lot, and what makes you a great
Speaker 1: defender is you know how people move, so you know
Speaker 1: when to get in front of them, you know how
Speaker 1: to defend them. You know when you need to get leverage.
Speaker 1: You know when you need to stand up. You know
Speaker 1: when he ain't gonna do nothing right, Rudy Gobert, you
Speaker 1: know when it just jumped. And like when you when
Speaker 1: you study people and you study their movements, that's how
Speaker 1: you really become a student of the gang. I saw
Speaker 1: that picture of Pat with the bell court side during
Speaker 1: the Nixed Warriors game. You tweeted that you put a
Speaker 1: camera on Pat course side.
Speaker 3: What is he doing? I'm telling you, man, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe there needs to be an idea for the new media.
Speaker 2: Somebody needed to put sit past your briefley course side.
Speaker 2: I got a lot of respect for Pat. Pat got
Speaker 2: it after Mud and I have even more respect for
Speaker 2: Pat because the pack was a scorer like average forty.
Speaker 2: I made it to the NBA because I could score
Speaker 2: like I didn't make NBA because.
Speaker 3: I played defense the NBA because I could score.
Speaker 2: I made I made All Defense team at Michigan State
Speaker 2: my senior year, and my assistant coach who I'm still
Speaker 2: tight with to this day, coach DJ Dwayne Stevens, he
Speaker 2: laughed in my face and said, man, they put you
Speaker 2: on that all defense team because your name Draymond Green.
Speaker 3: And because you.
Speaker 2: And I was like chill out, D. I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm a great help side defender. I didn't even argue
Speaker 2: with him. I'm like, D, I'm great help side defender.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, he's like, yeah, overhelping. I used to overhelp crazy.
Speaker 3: All the time.
Speaker 2: Like that, there was no argument to even push back.
Speaker 2: I made it to the NBA because I could score,
Speaker 2: I could pass, and I could rebound. In order for
Speaker 2: me to play in the NBA, I had to figure
Speaker 2: out a role because they already had guys. I was
Speaker 2: the second round picked. They already had guys that that
Speaker 2: was going to score. So that was never going to
Speaker 2: be a role for me. Figure out a role. Once
Speaker 2: you figure out a roll, you ain't about to go
Speaker 2: rap and then start singing like you rapped now, like
Speaker 2: go rap, And that's just kind of what it is.
Speaker 2: I had a lot of respects for Pat. He got
Speaker 2: it out to mud and so I'm getting stops and
Speaker 2: I'm talking to Pat like Pat, I'm on all that,
Speaker 2: like y'all saw that. And I hear Pat like, yo,
Speaker 2: y'all need to do this. Drey like do this, do that,
Speaker 2: And I'm like, man, that's a good idea. Then I
Speaker 2: hear him we in the zone and he tell Landry
Speaker 2: Shaman where to go for the shot.
Speaker 3: He up in there coaching both teams go somewhere, He
Speaker 3: telling him to go hit the three.
Speaker 2: Pat, I told you go right Like then the fan
Speaker 2: tell me Draymond, you are stupid. You're just stupid, And
Speaker 2: I caught his face. Oh a shoot, and I'm about
Speaker 2: to say to start going back at the fifth.
Speaker 3: Pat, Pat, fire up, Drake. I got him.
Speaker 2: I got the belt in my head. I turned around
Speaker 2: and look, this man really has a belt in his head.
Speaker 2: That's a belt in my hands, right belt? Put the
Speaker 2: belt as.
Speaker 3: From not like all these moments he had during the game.
Speaker 2: It was like if you had a camera on him
Speaker 2: and put that in a nine minutes.
Speaker 3: It was pure comedy. That's hilarious too.
Speaker 2: For the average fan, Like you're learning when you're listening
Speaker 2: and watching it. Man, it was absolutely incredible. It was
Speaker 2: a pleasant surprise. Obviously, didn't expect to see Pat bev sit.
Speaker 2: Of course I had a game with us. With the
Speaker 2: next pleasant surprise, I Benfit's classic bro.

Speaker 1: All right, continue with the crazy Steph Curry performances. On
Speaker 1: February twenty seven versus the Magic he went off of
Speaker 1: fifty six twelve threes, and he's done that on three
Speaker 1: different occasions. On February twenty seven, What which one to
Speaker 1: you is the best February twenty seventh performance, the Orlando
Speaker 1: Magic one or the other two? Before twenty sixteen he
Speaker 1: did he had forty six. He was twelve for sixteen
Speaker 1: from the three on twenty seven sixteen. On two, twenty
Speaker 1: seven thirteen, he had fifty four eleven for thirteen threes.
Speaker 3: Talk to me. That was at the Guarden. We lost
Speaker 3: that game.
Speaker 1: That's the one the thirteenth, Yeah, on the thirteenth, right.
Speaker 2: That's actually the one game where he said he thirteen
Speaker 2: and won in the God That's actually the one game
Speaker 2: we lost so I'm going to pick against that.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: He also shimmy passed me during that game. I'm standing
Speaker 2: there like this, and when he did this and when
Speaker 2: that was also in that game. So I'm gonna throw
Speaker 2: that game out right past me.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw it that one out.
Speaker 2: I gotta say my favorite one was Okay, See, there
Speaker 2: was so much that happened during that game. That game
Speaker 2: is also the game Me and Steve Kirk got into
Speaker 2: it and they reported it. Lisa Saltiers reported from like
Speaker 2: eavesdropping in our door, in our locker room, like every
Speaker 2: word we said behind closed doors. She reported everywhere we said,
Speaker 2: which was insane. To Lisa's credit, she apologized, I hold
Speaker 2: no ill will towards Lisa. I actually love her, but
Speaker 2: that was crazy. All of that happened in that game.
Speaker 2: That's also the game stuff hit the bomb, the Deep
Speaker 2: three right across hag So I gotta go with that game.
Speaker 2: And then that was crazy. We also got to know
Speaker 2: the history. That's twenty sixteen. We had just won a championship.
Speaker 2: Fast forward. This is also the year that we end
Speaker 2: up having to come back three to one against them,
Speaker 2: So I have to understand where the NBA was and
Speaker 2: the dynamic like Steph versus Russ.
Speaker 3: Right now, these.
Speaker 2: Dudes have been at such a high level for such
Speaker 2: a long time, but at this time you thought like
Speaker 2: this was Pete Powers.
Speaker 3: You didn't know that they end up that Russ.
Speaker 2: Ends up breaking the triple double record like cause he
Speaker 2: at the time, he wasn't getting the triple doubles that
Speaker 2: frequently twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: So you have to understand, like.
Speaker 2: The dynamic in the NBA at this time, and then
Speaker 2: for him to that performance hit that.
Speaker 3: Bomb, with all of that going on in that treason.
Speaker 2: I gotta take February twenty seven, twenty sixteen, Gotta take table.
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, February twenty seventh in America,
Speaker 2: this will be no moving forward.
Speaker 3: That's Steph Curry Day done.
Speaker 1: Sign it up, sign the petition now, all right, dude.
Speaker 1: One of the wildest calls I saw this week was
Speaker 1: the flagrant file they called on you versus the Harnis,
Speaker 1: which I deem as because you're Draymond Green. That's the
Speaker 1: type of call you're gonna get. What did you say
Speaker 1: to the Rath after that upgrade was made.
Speaker 2: I don't even I said so much of the rust
Speaker 2: when they even was gonna go review it. Bro, I
Speaker 2: wasn't even looking at dude, and the referee only called
Speaker 2: the file because he saw dude on the floor flopping.
Speaker 3: Like I wasn't even looking at him. I literally just
Speaker 3: put my hand and I just hit his chest to
Speaker 3: stop his.
Speaker 2: Probe them and so I could find the ball and
Speaker 2: go get the rebound.
Speaker 1: But you know you got you know, you got hands
Speaker 1: like shown now.
Speaker 3: Straight into the Don't blame me.
Speaker 2: I thought it was crazy for them to go see
Speaker 2: the play, see that I'm not even looking at this
Speaker 2: dude and still upglarded to.
Speaker 3: A flag of file.
Speaker 2: It's crazy to me because I have been on the
Speaker 2: wrong end of a lot of elbows to the head
Speaker 2: and the references.
Speaker 3: Oh but it wasn't intentional, but I still got elbowed
Speaker 3: in my head. Yeah, but it wasn't. So then I'm
Speaker 3: not looking at this dude.
Speaker 2: But y'all tell me when it's me on the wrong
Speaker 2: side of it that it wasn't. It ain't mean to
Speaker 2: do it. I got tripped. It was either in Philly
Speaker 2: or it was the beginning of the trip. I was
Speaker 2: rolling down the paint, Bro, I got tripped. I felt
Speaker 2: so hard.
Speaker 3: I felt.
Speaker 2: I felt so hard. I was so mad because as
Speaker 2: I'm falling over, I'm looking at the referee. I watched
Speaker 2: me just get tripped apart eye watching me get tripped,
Speaker 2: and I felt so hard.
Speaker 3: I was so mad. I'm like, yo, you're not gonna
Speaker 3: call it. You just watch me get tripped. Now you
Speaker 3: watch me, he said to me. He was like, I
Speaker 3: was surprised you didn't know.
Speaker 2: We didn't try to trip you. I watched you trip you,
Speaker 2: I said, But I don't always try to file. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but if I fouled, I fouled.
Speaker 1: It don't matter what It don't matter if you clumsy,
Speaker 1: you clumbs, you tripped, somebody.
Speaker 3: Tripped. I don't care if he tried to trip me
Speaker 3: or not. He tripped me.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, dre Ma, heene try to elbow you in. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he elbowed me in that in the head. I
Speaker 2: don't care what he tried to do. He elbowed me
Speaker 2: in the hand. So if that's a flager won And
Speaker 2: I didn't try to. Why are all these times I
Speaker 2: get elbowed in the head and rush It wasn't It
Speaker 2: wasn't intentional.
Speaker 3: Hein't tried to. I don't understand that. I understand, I
Speaker 3: know why, right, So we're gonna let the ref slide
Speaker 3: on this one. I ain't even.
Speaker 1: Warriors of nine and one with Jimmy Butler in the lineup.
Speaker 1: To me, the most impressive win amongst those are this
Speaker 1: last victory against the Knicks, just saying that I was
Speaker 1: very impressed with that. Everybody had a solid game, and
Speaker 1: Steph had a and Steph was Stephan. What do you
Speaker 1: think is the most impressive win for you guys so far?
Speaker 2: I would say last night, and I would say that
Speaker 2: Houston won right before break and both of them were
Speaker 2: on the back end of the back to back.
Speaker 1: Man, win that second game, that's that's relief, absolutely.
Speaker 2: And in the NBA we called most of those schedule losses,
Speaker 2: you know, right back to back tough. You're getting there, ladies,
Speaker 2: hell good team like those are tough. And you know
Speaker 2: we were coming in on the back to back All
Speaker 2: Star break starts after the game, so you could mentally
Speaker 2: check out, right, like, man, let me get through this
Speaker 2: game and get the All Star Like that could be
Speaker 2: your mindset.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had just lost one, a.
Speaker 2: Tough one the night before and downas we went off,
Speaker 2: also sending my love and well wishes to copy man
Speaker 2: damn recovery. But Kai had just went off coming in
Speaker 2: this young Houston team that if you remember last time
Speaker 2: they beat us that season. Yeah, a little sketch, a
Speaker 2: little sketch on a blooper on a blooper a couple
Speaker 2: of mis.
Speaker 3: They feeling good and they young.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like called us on the
Speaker 2: back to back and we go in and get that
Speaker 2: game to go into the break. So I say that
Speaker 2: one and I say this New York Nichols nixt one
Speaker 2: was the two most impressive to me so far. You
Speaker 2: just get a boost of confidence and like a boost
Speaker 2: to the morale to go take that second one on
Speaker 2: the second night of a back to back. So you know,
Speaker 2: it also still allows us to put ourselves in a
Speaker 2: position to have a great trip. Obviously we would have
Speaker 2: loved to be five. And on the trip we let
Speaker 2: that Philly won't get away. Yeah, that was a tough
Speaker 2: one for and one East coast trip. I don't think
Speaker 2: anybody complain about.
Speaker 1: No complaints here, my brother. But you'd also got the
Speaker 1: Pistons coming in town. You know, the Pistons, one of
Speaker 1: my teams, one of my high teams to watch for
Speaker 1: this year in the league. They're in sixth place and
Speaker 1: it looks like they'll have a first round matchup with
Speaker 1: the Knicks. You played against the Knicks, you know it's
Speaker 1: next take with me all day. I love the Knicks.
Speaker 1: I did pick Detroit as my hot team coming out
Speaker 1: the East. Do you think the Knicks or the Pistons?
Speaker 1: Who do you think will win in a playoff series
Speaker 1: if they started today?
Speaker 2: The Pistons ain't never done it. I don't think New
Speaker 2: York's playoff noise. I think they got some things to
Speaker 2: figure out. But it's saying that I don't know that
Speaker 2: the Pistons are like, you need some experience in those
Speaker 2: players or already Yeah, I just don't know that they'll
Speaker 2: have enough experience now. Adding Dennis Schroeder, it's going to
Speaker 2: make difference in a big difference for them in the
Speaker 2: playoffs because he's done.
Speaker 3: Everybody get Tobias Harris a lot of crap.
Speaker 2: Tobias has playoff experiences, So having those couple of guys
Speaker 2: that does have off experience I think could help them.
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a very tall task for them
Speaker 2: to beat the Knicks off.
Speaker 3: I'm honest, but I'll roll with Detroit. Wow, Like you
Speaker 3: don't roll with Detroit for sure.
Speaker 1: It's something about it being your first playoffs that you're like,
Speaker 1: oh man, I'm going for broke.
Speaker 3: Like that you're so prepared as a young dude.
Speaker 1: You so nervous that your energy is there, your attention
Speaker 1: and detail like.
Speaker 3: Like you don't even know to be nervous. You don't
Speaker 3: know what this is.
Speaker 2: It's almost like a for lack of a better term,
Speaker 2: it's like a level of dumbness that you have.
Speaker 3: M h.
Speaker 2: A level of ignorance that you have and you don't
Speaker 2: even know what to expect. And so a guy who's
Speaker 2: been through it could get more nervous because they know
Speaker 2: what to expect where they're out there. Damn they're dumbfounded
Speaker 2: because we ain't never been here. What we got to lose?
Speaker 2: Over right?
Speaker 3: That that that definitely could work work. I agree with you.
Speaker 2: That can work for to put to the Pistons advantage.
Speaker 2: And then I'll tell you another thing. Isaah Stewart going
Speaker 2: to go to he gonna bully cat like.
Speaker 3: He gonna make it try to go ahead.
Speaker 2: He would make it his mission for a playoff series
Speaker 2: where you gotta see this dude, possibly seven games in
Speaker 2: a row. He would make it his mission the bully cat.
Speaker 2: Will he be successful in doing it? I mean, that's
Speaker 2: what Isaiah Stewart does.
Speaker 1: That's where somebody who's highly skilled like Man, I ain't
Speaker 1: even worried about that bullshit, Like you can be a
Speaker 1: dog on you on, you still can't stop. It could
Speaker 1: work to cast advantage too.
Speaker 2: It could you could use it against him, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So you have to see how those
Speaker 2: match ups play out. But I think those would be
Speaker 2: key things to watch in in this matchup. And then
Speaker 2: who's going to be better out of Caden and Jalen Bruston. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Jylen Bruston has the experience, but I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 2: what K has that Jalen Brunston don't have. Size yeah,
Speaker 2: size at six seven. He get into the playoffs and
Speaker 2: Kay getting to where he want to go and you
Speaker 2: ain't speeding him up. That can make a big difference
Speaker 2: in a playoff series because now then on exploiting these
Speaker 2: one or two or three things in the game, and Kay.
Speaker 1: K different man, so he don't care that he hasn't
Speaker 1: been there before. He knows like this is my moment,
Speaker 1: Like we can get them move.
Speaker 2: Around the league a little bit before we get out
Speaker 2: of here. Bron passed fifty thousand points. Wow, regular season
Speaker 2: and playoffs combined. It's absolutely insane for a guy. It's
Speaker 2: insane for anybody. It's obviously never been done, but it's
Speaker 2: absolutely insane for a guy that is not considered a
Speaker 2: scorer a score right, It's pretty crazy, but just goes
Speaker 2: to show you how I actually think throughout the course
Speaker 2: of Bron's career he could have scored way more points
Speaker 2: than he actually has.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: I think he just always has such a level of
Speaker 2: unselfishness and will and want to win that the points
Speaker 2: never really even matter to him, which is possibly why
Speaker 2: people don't. They don't matter to people because they never
Speaker 2: really mattered to him. He was just going to score
Speaker 2: enough points to make sure they win the game, but
Speaker 2: never to try to break some scoring records or something
Speaker 2: like that. And that's what I think makes it even
Speaker 2: all the more impressive, Like how great you actually have
Speaker 2: got a manicle to not focus on scoring to be
Speaker 2: labeled as a score, but have fifty thousand points is insane.
Speaker 2: So number one, Bron, Congrats My brothers and grunts. Well done.
Speaker 2: Man just continuing to watch his brother's greatness. And it's
Speaker 2: like it's crazy because I think he keep getting better
Speaker 2: at basketball. Yeah, just don't really make sense to me,
Speaker 2: Like how Brough forty years old still getting better at basketball?
Speaker 2: But you know he high level, at a very high
Speaker 2: Clint bro he always credit his sustained performance throughout his
Speaker 2: career to love for the process. And one thing I
Speaker 2: will ask you, you know we talked about to go
Speaker 2: to Bay with Steph earlier. Do you think Luca's arrival
Speaker 2: has infused some energy in Bron and like like pushed
Speaker 2: his game to another level. And not that he needed
Speaker 2: Luca to push him to another level, but just kind
Speaker 2: of what was your thoughts on that one.
Speaker 1: We're starting to see Lebron fall into number of comfortable
Speaker 1: number two, Like we've only seen Lebron be number one.
Speaker 1: There is no one A, there is no one B.
Speaker 1: There was never that. Lebron has always been new more Una.
Speaker 1: To see Lebron as the number one guy being the
Speaker 1: number two guy is very scary because it puts him
Speaker 1: back into his number one position when he was young. Right,
Speaker 1: And when you talk about his scoring, I say He's
Speaker 1: a mechanical scorer, right, he scores when necessary. Oh, you're
Speaker 1: about to go up ten. Now I'm taking that shot
Speaker 1: like he is a scientist when it comes to how
Speaker 1: he plays the game. And then also Lebron, he could
Speaker 1: have came into the league and said I want to
Speaker 1: be a scorer and had a total different game and
Speaker 1: with the same outcome, right, just because who he is.
Speaker 3: But I think Luca right to answer your question.
Speaker 1: Luca is like, oh man, I got another five What
Speaker 1: I'm loving about the league right now?
Speaker 3: Okay, the Warriors got three years for these next five years.
Speaker 3: The Warriors.
Speaker 1: Okay, see, y'all got the next five years to do something. Uh, Boston,
Speaker 1: you just came off of one. You got the next
Speaker 1: five years to do something right. But then you got
Speaker 1: all these veteran teams. Denver, you're getting older, you're about
Speaker 1: to turn the corner. Clippers, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3: Lakers?
Speaker 1: You got Luca, Minnesota, you got like Phoenix and what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen with you know, with with Katie and what
Speaker 1: they got with Phoenix. So all these bet teams that
Speaker 1: made each trade and got better, like they're going to
Speaker 1: now win situations. Yes, so I think that ups Lebron's auntie, like,
Speaker 1: hold on, let me show Luca.
Speaker 3: Hey, bro, you just do what you do.
Speaker 1: I got the rest m And that's and and and
Speaker 1: it's been different then a Kyrie and a d way
Speaker 1: than a Chris Bosh right, because Luca can do what
Speaker 1: Lebron does.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: This is the first time in lebron career where he's
Speaker 2: been able to run and play off the ball and
Speaker 2: people make plays for him.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: He's ever really played with anyone that could like really
Speaker 2: make plays for him, right, So he's running and getting
Speaker 2: the layups. In transition, he's getting backdoor cuts, like random
Speaker 2: cuts because it's someone that can.
Speaker 3: Create for him.
Speaker 2: I think that has made him take a step back
Speaker 2: and be like whoa, Like this is actually a lot easier.
Speaker 3: He's enjoying doing it, it looks like and so I.
Speaker 2: Think it definitely can confuse some some some more years
Speaker 2: into his career because.
Speaker 3: He's just he just got stuff.
Speaker 2: Looks the same way with Jimmy coming right, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: looks like they found you relief. Yeah, yeah, we had
Speaker 2: last week and you know, he just talked about how
Speaker 2: the Sons have to play hard. He didn't get into
Speaker 2: it with Bootonholzer, which I make nothing of, but he
Speaker 2: came out and responded and played hard and on both
Speaker 2: sides of the ball. And when he made that decision,
Speaker 2: you can see the games start to change. And I
Speaker 2: had tweeted about K because I watched him do it defensively, offensively.
Speaker 2: I watched him talking to guys. I watched him big
Speaker 2: up guys. I watched take it on everything on his
Speaker 2: own shoulders and wheeled them to that win. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: if they lose that game, I tweeted, I said, it
Speaker 2: was one of the more impressive performances I've seen from K.
Speaker 2: And I've seen K have fifty four, fifty two, whatever.
Speaker 2: But it ain't about the points. It's about his demeanor.
Speaker 2: It's about he went about bringing that team back, and
Speaker 2: it was glaringly noticeable to me. You know, he had
Speaker 2: spoke about how they needed to play hard and different things.
Speaker 2: They have a twenty three point comeback last night versus
Speaker 2: the Clippers. I think that was a prime example of
Speaker 2: the way that they're going to need to play. They
Speaker 2: can spark this run and you know, and can can
Speaker 2: this game ultimately be a spark for them, which you hope.
Speaker 2: So if you're them right, like you hope that all right? Man,
Speaker 2: we just had this one. Now let's build on it.
Speaker 2: They got an uphill battle to fight for sure, Yeah,
Speaker 2: they do.
Speaker 1: And this was the first time I really seen him angry.
Speaker 1: You know, usually Katie when he played upset, he'd be
Speaker 1: talking shit, you know, he going at different people. This
Speaker 1: this comeback was he was. He was angry. He was
Speaker 1: like he lost hisself in the game. And I think
Speaker 1: that's what Phoenix gotta do. They gotta stop coming to
Speaker 1: the game with a chip on their shoulder thinking like
Speaker 1: there are they are the target because they got Katie,
Speaker 1: they caught Devin Booker, they got scores. They need to
Speaker 1: start being angry about Hey, this may not happen, and
Speaker 1: so they have to have more desperate measures. And I
Speaker 1: seen I seen angry Katie when he did.
Speaker 3: That to Bud.
Speaker 1: It was like, man, all right, I'm about to show you, bro, like,
Speaker 1: get off me. I need to stay in the month
Speaker 1: that I'm in. And it was to me it was
Speaker 1: refreshing to see that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I don't think it was anything.
Speaker 2: Coaches and players had their moments all the time. I
Speaker 2: think if if you had a camera on a bench
Speaker 2: and a huddle at every moment, you'd see these more
Speaker 2: often than that.
Speaker 3: That's just what happens.
Speaker 2: I think people try to make a big deal out
Speaker 2: of everything because everybody needs storylines. Yeah, Kdi loves the
Speaker 2: process of being coached, working on this game, all the
Speaker 2: pureness of basketball is what Katie actually loves. One thing
Speaker 2: I can assure you, KD ain't a coach arguer, Like
Speaker 2: he ain't gonna heal every now and then. He gonna
Speaker 2: like stand his ground, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 2: of course, but he not just going to get into
Speaker 2: it with the coach. He not a player that's like
Speaker 2: think he's bigger than being coach, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So what I know from saying how they live moment
Speaker 2: and they moving on. If KD could do play this
Speaker 2: game in.
Speaker 3: The NBA and what he's doing.
Speaker 2: And only deal with the peer neents of the game
Speaker 2: he played for another ten years, No.
Speaker 3: For sure.
Speaker 1: And sometimes you just don't want to be touched, especially
Speaker 1: somebody talking to you. Don't touch me, right, but like
Speaker 1: talking to me and touching me at the same time,
Speaker 1: Like I don't feel like being touched right now, right
Speaker 1: and when you're in the heat of the moment, it's
Speaker 1: just it's just that it's nothing more but just you
Speaker 1: know that angst, that anxiety, that you know, that frustration.
Speaker 3: Before we get out of here.
Speaker 2: Man, we mentioned Kyrie earlier. Terror a cl obviously another
Speaker 2: blow to the mass and their fan base who's kind
Speaker 2: of been going through it over the last month or so.
Speaker 3: Damn. Like, I don't have many words because Kai is
Speaker 3: just one of them. Dudes. Man, he's my guy.
Speaker 2: He loves playing basketball. I'm happy to do where he
Speaker 2: is in his life. You know, his wife and his kids,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. But man, like Kai had
Speaker 2: to figured it out, you know what I'm saying, his game,
Speaker 2: his balance, who he is, and to go through this, uh,
Speaker 2: I hate to see it. I hate to see it.
Speaker 2: My love, well wished speedy recovery. You just hate to
Speaker 2: see that happen. But I will ask you what was
Speaker 2: your thoughts on him staying out there and shooting those
Speaker 2: free throws.
Speaker 1: That's just love, that's just will you know. I love Kyrie,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite all time, and to see his
Speaker 1: maturity this year, you know, his leadership, you know, with
Speaker 1: that team even through the trade and all that. And
Speaker 1: you know, I just hate seeing people get injured, period,
Speaker 1: j you know, because my career ended on an injury.
Speaker 3: But I do believe and I know, uh he got
Speaker 3: you know, the.
Speaker 1: Family support, and he got the will to come back,
Speaker 1: and he got the game, you know, to come back
Speaker 1: after a tour in a cl and and be even
Speaker 1: better or just as effective playing at a high level
Speaker 1: because of who he is and just the skills, right,
Speaker 1: high high, high high level of skill. Right, he just
Speaker 1: got to get back to getting strong. And you know,
Speaker 1: I just it's almost like a one of these you
Speaker 1: know when he shot the two free throws, like you're
Speaker 1: a real one, bro.
Speaker 3: But we understand, you know.
Speaker 2: One you know I had, I actually had the opportunity
Speaker 2: to see Kobe shooting.
Speaker 3: That game. Yeah game, but then obviously Clay shooting after
Speaker 3: tearing this a c L. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: It's just like a just respect you have for those guys,
Speaker 2: because man, when you when I can only imagine going
Speaker 2: through those injuries. I've gotten injured, not like that, and
Speaker 2: I knock on wood, but like anytime you have any
Speaker 2: injury on the court, the last thing you're thinking about
Speaker 2: is man, I need to.
Speaker 3: Go shoot these two free throughs like.
Speaker 2: There me, how bad is it? Like the pain? You know,
Speaker 2: you're processing so much. And so I just applaud them,
Speaker 2: you know, on that love, that love for the game
Speaker 2: that they have to you know, have those moments. And
Speaker 2: then I also think that there's a level of I
Speaker 2: don't know how this recovery is going to go. I
Speaker 2: don't know you know when I'll be back on the floor,
Speaker 2: but if this is it, you remember I shot my
Speaker 2: free throw was before I left totally, and I can respect.
Speaker 3: That speedy recover. The coy man, get well by your blessings, Bro.
Speaker 2: Game will miss you, but the game will welcome you
Speaker 2: back with open arms, with that level of talent that
Speaker 2: Kyrie has. Until next time, that's a rat. Now Draymond
Speaker 2: Green Show with b D and all the isms of
Speaker 2: the big dog Traymond Green Shaw, we out Peace
