Speaker 5: you know, just thing called life. So that's just where
Speaker 5: I'm at right now. And uh, you know I'm dibbling,

Speaker 1: Place, solid pay come on, man, you know me, Brodie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I gotta be solid love that point. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get to it. And it's not even that would you
Speaker 1: say it's about fifty sixty days, so a couple of
Speaker 1: months out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like a month and a half something like that.
Speaker 5: So you know, you finish up the end bit of
Speaker 5: regular season and then uh, you know, off into the.
Speaker 1: Playoffs and ready to rock. You ready to go.
Speaker 4: I'm ready to go, bro, Absolutely ready to go.
Speaker 1: How much juice? You feel like you still got? Uh
Speaker 1: in your game? You know you said you're thirty three.
Speaker 1: Obviously the goal is to get back in the NBA,
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, that's not happening, you still play
Speaker 1: the game? How much long do you see yourself playing?
Speaker 4: Honestly?
Speaker 5: Man, you know, God willing my body holds up. You know,
Speaker 5: I put a lot of time into my body at
Speaker 5: this stage in my career to you know, just keep
Speaker 5: this engine going. But uh, you know, God willing that
Speaker 5: my body holds up. I could play this game, you know,
Speaker 5: until I'm forty. Bro, just with the way I play
Speaker 5: the game, I understand the game. I've never really relied
Speaker 5: on athleticism. I've always used I don't get a lot
Speaker 5: of credit for it. For whatever reason. I've always tried
Speaker 5: to use my IQ to you know, get me through
Speaker 5: the game. But you know, I think I got a
Speaker 5: lot left in the tank. I can help a lot
Speaker 5: of teams.
Speaker 4: But you know, like I.
Speaker 5: Said, I'm also in this space where I'm gonna go
Speaker 5: where I'm wanting and appreciate it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: So you know I ain't begging or kissing ass to
Speaker 5: make nothing happen.
Speaker 4: Y'all know what I can do.
Speaker 5: Y'all know what I bring, and you know, if the
Speaker 5: opportunity presents itself, you know I'm gonna be a pro
Speaker 5: and you know, go in and do what I do.
Speaker 1: What do you feel like the level of play is
Speaker 1: out there for those who are not familiar with the league,
Speaker 1: can you compare it to a level of play.
Speaker 5: You kind of get put in this place of you know,
Speaker 5: once you become a pro and that's all you've really experienced.
Speaker 5: This isn't necessarily for everybody, just for certain individuals. And
Speaker 5: I'm guilty of that. I had the luxury of only
Speaker 5: you know, playing in the NBA. You know, I never
Speaker 5: experienced the G League. I never had to do any
Speaker 5: of those type of things, so I was ignorant to
Speaker 5: you know, the talent and just basketball. And obviously we
Speaker 5: all got homies that we feel like can make it.
Speaker 5: But you know, you sometimes you you put this narrative
Speaker 5: like man with shit, if you good enough, you'll make
Speaker 5: it regardless, And that's just not necessarily the case. So
Speaker 5: it's not always about what you know. Sometimes it's who
Speaker 5: you know. You know, everybody isn't presented the opportunity. Everybody
Speaker 5: isn't putting put in a position to to see it
Speaker 5: is coaches.
Speaker 4: That's sabotaged motherfuckers out here. That's a real thing.
Speaker 5: So it's a lot of you know, different scenarios as
Speaker 5: to why you can't, you know, display your talent at
Speaker 5: the so called considered highest level. So you know, I've
Speaker 5: I've earned a new respect for it because I've realized, Man,
Speaker 5: it's some really good basketball players all over the world,
Speaker 5: bro and and and can play at a high level.
Speaker 5: And you know, I'm glad I am experiencing this side
Speaker 5: of the game because it's opened.
Speaker 4: My eyes so much.
Speaker 5: And uh, you know, and at the end of the day,
Speaker 5: it really helps you appreciate the game as a whole
Speaker 5: and what it's done on a worldwide basis.
Speaker 1: Considering it's March, man, this selection Sunday was yesterday. The
Speaker 1: tournament is right around the corner, and we have Boog today.
Speaker 1: So Kentucky and UCLA the two of the most you know,
Speaker 1: obviously prestigious schools national championships turning out pros. Currently Kentucky
Speaker 1: has one hundred and thirty two players they put in
Speaker 1: the league, UCLA one hundred and two. So Boogie and
Speaker 1: I are gonna pick our all times starting five from
Speaker 1: both of our respective schools. And Jack is gonna tell
Speaker 1: me or tell us, tell y'all which team he thinks
Speaker 1: is better. So bo We're gonna start with you. You're
Speaker 1: the guest Kentucky long list of killers. Who's your five?
Speaker 5: This's gonna be easy for me at PG. I'm going
Speaker 5: with John wall Uh. You know, he basically started, you know,
Speaker 5: this whole way, so you got to show respect, you
Speaker 5: know what's been done shooting gard I'm going with d
Speaker 5: Book small forward. I think we need to lengthen the
Speaker 5: defense to go along with shot making. I'm gonna go
Speaker 5: with Tayshaun Prince power forward. Obviously, Anthony Davis another you know,
Speaker 5: founder of this shit, and that's it. I'm going with myself.
Speaker 5: We're gonna hold the pain down and dominate.
Speaker 1: So that's a tough mat for rough That's a tough
Speaker 1: So I got a question to our panel in here
Speaker 1: are we going? I mean, what kind of because I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously we got Kareem and Bill Walton on this list,
Speaker 1: but are we playing that kind of game? Were playing
Speaker 1: the new game? What kind of game were playing? Man?
Speaker 1: Playing current basketball?
Speaker 2: If you put Bill Walton on your team, you lose.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that now.
Speaker 1: Hey, Bill Walton had a lot of game.
Speaker 4: Bro. Yeah, Jilani too, Jilani.
Speaker 1: Too, Jelanni on the team, You're gonna lose.
Speaker 5: Man a chance, you don't stand a chance.
Speaker 4: You gotta go out number fifteen on the other side.
Speaker 2: Chance.
Speaker 1: So my point guard, I mean there's a long list.
Speaker 1: I mean we got Westbrook, Lonzo Ball right here. But
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go with the healthy Baron Davis
Speaker 1: at my point at the two guard a ton of talent.
Speaker 1: I want to go two ways with Drew Holliday, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go with Reggie Miller as my
Speaker 1: two at my Actually, I'm gonna flip this. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go Drew Holiday at my two. I'm gonna put Reggie
Speaker 1: at my three. I'm gonna put Kevin Love at my four,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna put Kareem as center the bus bookies
Speaker 1: as I got Barren, Drew Holliday, Reggie Miller, Kevin Love,
Speaker 1: and Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
Speaker 2: Okay, bring out the brooms. Y'all getting swept? Man?
Speaker 1: You think so b d Reggie Miller, Drew.
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna get to win. That's that's that's cool.
Speaker 3: Dudes were cool with them. We're cool with a lot
Speaker 3: of when when they come to playing five five, it's
Speaker 3: that five.
Speaker 1: I don't I mean fairness. I don't know. Is there
Speaker 1: a school that you could really funk with all time
Speaker 1: over there?
Speaker 2: Give you? I give you better. You said up the
Speaker 2: U C L A line.
Speaker 1: What what you see that you see a line of
Speaker 1: who you going with?
Speaker 3: I'm going with Russ K D You, Kevin Love and Julyannie.
Speaker 3: I robb with that before I robbed the other ship
Speaker 3: you put out there.
Speaker 1: So you you wouldn't have kareem on it.
Speaker 3: But they gonna, but they gonna battle harder than the
Speaker 3: niggas that he put out there the first time.
Speaker 4: That ain't gonna work. I'm gonna tell you that right now.
Speaker 1: You gotta think Kevin Love was a killer in college,
Speaker 1: and the killer really he got a guard, Yeah you got,
Speaker 1: but you gotta guarde. You gotta guard.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, you stop backing like you're playing in
Speaker 3: every position.
Speaker 2: Boogie. You were talking about a A I'm talking that's
Speaker 2: what we're talking about.
Speaker 4: You don't know who's gonna show up at about worry
Speaker 4: about that. I know who gonna showup.
Speaker 5: That nigga, that nigga that was next to me in
Speaker 5: New Orleans, that's gonna that's who's gonna show up. If
Speaker 5: that's the A A D. You bring it, and it's
Speaker 5: a different story telling you. I put batteries in niggas back.
Speaker 1: Like I said before, is there a college that can
Speaker 1: really match up? I mean we could probably do a
Speaker 1: due lineup that might be able to but I don't
Speaker 1: really know if there's any college, to be honest with you.
Speaker 1: I mean, Kentucky's had a hell of a run, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So Kentucky's definitely had North Carolina.
Speaker 1: You know, you throw it.
Speaker 4: As of recently.
Speaker 2: No, No Carolina. North Carolina can put.
Speaker 3: Up a five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not not as older. No, definitely.
Speaker 5: We're talking about if we take it back in the day,
Speaker 5: I think we can definitely, you know, make some challenging list.
Speaker 3: But with she the stack House, yeah, Sam Perkins Worthy.
Speaker 5: She was not disagreement. I'm not disagreeing, brother, No, not
Speaker 5: at all.
Speaker 1: The current Yeah, I don't think anyone could really.
Speaker 5: You got about Lancelide name a question about that though
Speaker 5: Jolani ain't got a chance.
Speaker 6: Though hey bo wasn't.
Speaker 3: He had his way bore something something.
Speaker 1: Now Boogie was still paying on himself when jumping Jelannie
Speaker 1: McCoy was was jumping Jelani McCoy or Playboy All American
Speaker 1: Boogie was still feeding on himself back in the day.
Speaker 1: So he don't know about kylege Jelinney that got suspended
Speaker 1: for smoking too much weed. That was a different Jelini
Speaker 1: back then. Speaking of the tournament, there's been a ton
Speaker 1: of historical shots and moments right now, we're gonna go
Speaker 1: through a handful of them. We're gonna pick what one
Speaker 1: we feel like is our special to us, and then
Speaker 1: we're also gonna leave it up to our fans to
Speaker 1: let them decide what moment they feel was best. And
Speaker 1: we'll start with Kimba Walker's game winner, his step back,
Speaker 1: and just his run to get to the tournament that
Speaker 1: year was crazy. Remember Randolph Childress crossed over who he
Speaker 1: costs off Jeff mcguinnis and told him to come here
Speaker 1: and still hit that jumper. Christian Laitner's greatness in college
Speaker 1: arguably one of the greatest college players of all time.
Speaker 1: His game winning shot, Chris Jenkins game winner u se
Speaker 1: l bruin Tye and he took it the length of
Speaker 1: the floor to get the game winner. Jalen Suggs, I
Speaker 1: think it was against UCLA. The half court Buzzer be
Speaker 1: MJ's mid ranger to win a championship. So those I listed,
Speaker 1: any other you guys got and if so, what are
Speaker 1: from that list I gave you guys something that do
Speaker 1: you feel like is one of the best college moments?
Speaker 2: What's the kid named from Villanova?
Speaker 4: Chris?
Speaker 1: There's a Chris Jenkins, right, yeah, Chris game winning not
Speaker 1: too long?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I like that that that one right there
Speaker 2: was big.
Speaker 6: Three seconds Chins.
Speaker 1: So that would be yours, Chris Jenkins game winner.
Speaker 2: I go with Chris. Chris Jenkins are kim book is
Speaker 2: the way Kimber did that? Dude?
Speaker 3: That dude shouldn't play no more after that.
Speaker 4: That's my That's my choice right there.
Speaker 2: Kimba every team, every team you see that video and
Speaker 2: be like, nah, bro.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with uh Man. That Jason Suggs ship
Speaker 1: was heartbreaking against us, but it was it was a
Speaker 1: great shot, So I'm probably gonna go with that Jason
Speaker 1: Suggs half quarter. You know, it has time to do
Speaker 1: something sucks for the win. That's our picks. You guys
Speaker 1: decide what you like and we'll see who comes up
Speaker 1: with it. We're gonna go back to and talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about Kentucky. Boogie, you were at a at
Speaker 1: a pivotal point when they you know, they changed the
Speaker 1: rules about being able to go to the league. You
Speaker 1: and John were both one and duns over there Kentucky.
Speaker 1: But you know, some say, as we were talking before,
Speaker 1: you know, you know you that run with you know,
Speaker 1: you and John and then obviously Greg Odin and KD
Speaker 1: they say it kind of say I wouldn't say saved,
Speaker 1: but some would say save college basketball at the time
Speaker 1: because there's just a lot of uncertain of what was
Speaker 1: going on. But your freshman year fifteen ten two blocks,
Speaker 1: All American, led the SEC and rebounds. Your team went
Speaker 1: thirty five and three, lost to West Virginia in the
Speaker 1: lead eight, who was headed by coach Joe Mizzoula over
Speaker 1: there in Boston. He was giving Boogie post work all
Speaker 1: game and that's why they lost. But talk to us
Speaker 1: about your college experience. Obviously, I think I saw you
Speaker 1: or did I see you talking about Are you and
Speaker 1: John talking about it not too long ago? Just about
Speaker 1: you know how heartbroken he was when you guys lost,
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously you were looking towards everything he
Speaker 1: had done and what was next? But what was that
Speaker 1: Kentucky run? And how special While we're talking about Kentucky
Speaker 1: is coach Cali Perry not obviously not a ton of
Speaker 1: a one national championship, but we feel like his presence
Speaker 1: in the game will will always be remembered, and probably
Speaker 1: more than just in the coaching space. I'm sure he
Speaker 1: seems like a dope dude too. So talk to us
Speaker 1: about Kentucky coach cal and you're running college man.
Speaker 5: College was, you know, one of the best experiences of
Speaker 5: my life. It was a big transition period for me.
Speaker 5: Definitely the most fun I've ever had, you know, playing
Speaker 5: a game of basketball. You know, it was young kids
Speaker 5: put on a huge and it's crazy because us going
Speaker 5: in I don't even think we realized how big of
Speaker 5: a stage we were really on. Because if people remember,
Speaker 5: originally we were going to Memphis. This was Kyle's This
Speaker 5: is when Kyle left Memphis going to Kentucky.
Speaker 1: So your class was gonna go to Memphis with Kyle.
Speaker 4: I was committed to Memphis.
Speaker 1: I was committed and I didn't know that, so who else?
Speaker 1: So that was John was committed to Memphis too.
Speaker 4: John was still coming along.
Speaker 5: He hadn't committed, you know, he had to do the
Speaker 5: Grand Finale ship, you know, but Blesso was coming. We
Speaker 5: also had at the time Exavier Henry Up. He ended
Speaker 5: up going to He ended up going to Kansas, Kansas, Okay.
Speaker 5: Once Kyle left, he ended up going to Kansas. We
Speaker 5: followed the Kentucky. I don't know why he didn't follow,
Speaker 5: but yeah, we went to a situation where the stage
Speaker 5: was way bigger than we ever expected. And honestly, it
Speaker 5: was just it was Eric Blessoe included, and I say
Speaker 5: we as in us three because we did everything together,
Speaker 5: like we we figured the ship out together, all of that.
Speaker 5: But with that being said, it was you know, we
Speaker 5: made the best of our situation. You know, it made
Speaker 5: us grow up, us all coming from similar backgrounds, you know,
Speaker 5: that's that was the most relatable thing for us. So
Speaker 5: that's why I say we kind of figured it out.
Speaker 5: You know, we weren't you know, the typical kids that
Speaker 5: were kind of groomed up to be pros and things
Speaker 5: of that nature. We were, you know, kids from an environment.
Speaker 5: We figured out how to make it out and we
Speaker 5: made the best of our situation.
Speaker 4: So college changed us.
Speaker 5: It turned us into you know, young adults, young men,
Speaker 5: and when it came to Kyle, uh, you know, that
Speaker 5: was probably the most important piece for our you know,
Speaker 5: our growth as young men. He prepared us to be pros.
Speaker 5: He didn't treat us like kids. He didn't treat us
Speaker 5: like college kids or collegiate athletes. He prepared us to
Speaker 5: be a pro. So he treated us like one and
Speaker 5: he expected us to act as such. So you know,
Speaker 5: he put a lot of pressure on us. And you know,
Speaker 5: they also determined, you know, if we were ready for
Speaker 5: this shit or not, and obviously we passed that test.
Speaker 5: So with that, you know, when it comes to Cal
Speaker 5: and just his ability, you know, to bring the best
Speaker 5: out of you, bring the best out of you, you know,
Speaker 5: help you understand the game as a whole and not
Speaker 5: just as an individual, because that's a real thing for
Speaker 5: up and coming hoopers. It's hard for young talent, the
Speaker 5: guys to look past themselves when it's time to you know,
Speaker 5: really learn how to play the game and be amongst
Speaker 5: other pros and other talent. So that's something that Kyle
Speaker 5: is not good at but great at. And you know,
Speaker 5: when it comes to Cayl, obviously it's you know, he
Speaker 5: doesn't have the historic you know thing where he's got
Speaker 5: twenty championships and you know, typical you know, Hall of
Speaker 5: Fame coach thing. But even though he does has one championship,
Speaker 5: I kind of put cal in that, you know that
Speaker 5: Alan iverson type, you know category where his influence and
Speaker 5: his influence on the game and what he brought to
Speaker 5: the culture and and how he changed the culture. And
Speaker 5: I think it's something that's forever lasting. And I honestly
Speaker 5: feel like Kyle was way ahead of his time. And
Speaker 5: it's the same thing that goes with Alan Irverson because
Speaker 5: you look at today's game and how people you know,
Speaker 5: carried themselves, dressed, the tattoos, the fashion, it's all good,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So and you know he
Speaker 5: was the pioneer for that. So I think Kyle is
Speaker 5: the pioneer for you know, this one and done thing,
Speaker 5: really embracing it to what we see today to now
Speaker 5: you know, kids are getting paid just to go to college.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, I think Kyle was and
Speaker 5: I'm not saying and obviously it sounds like I'm saying
Speaker 5: something otherwise that wasn't the case.
Speaker 4: Well at least not for me, but.
Speaker 5: I think he was the pioneer this shit, and I
Speaker 5: think he stapled hisself in you know, basketball history, college
Speaker 5: basketball history, and you know, he's more than deserving of that.
Speaker 1: Even though he only has one championship book, I think
Speaker 1: he'll still be remember as one of the greatest coaches
Speaker 1: of all time when it comes to you know, similarly,
Speaker 1: obviously Ai. You know, only two years, no championships, but
Speaker 1: he'll still be one of the greatest players. And I
Speaker 1: think another thing point you touched on, which was great,
Speaker 1: cal embraced that one and done. A lot of these
Speaker 1: bigger universities has still have a hard time doing it.
Speaker 1: Duke doesn't like it. I know UCLA doesn't like it,
Speaker 1: like these bigger schools, these traditional schools don't like the
Speaker 1: one and done. But cal embraced that shit and made
Speaker 1: it fun. And that's why I feel like they still
Speaker 1: continue to get these top players because they were okay
Speaker 1: with Hey, come in, I'm like you said from the rip,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna treat you like a pro. And if if
Speaker 1: at the end of this year, if it's time to go,
Speaker 1: it's time to go. And it was a fun year.
Speaker 1: And I think kids appreciate that, you know, because like
Speaker 1: I said, UCLA is not big on the one and done.
Speaker 4: I mean, Mick.
Speaker 1: Cronin really barely plays freshmen at UCLA, and I think
Speaker 1: that kind of slows down the process of even getting
Speaker 1: some of these top kids. So currently cal has forty
Speaker 1: seven players in the league, and six of this past
Speaker 1: season all stars came from coach Cal you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So not only that guy signing Max deal.
Speaker 1: What do you think Buggie as obviously someone who was
Speaker 1: around him and coach by him, and he's still, you know,
Speaker 1: a part of your life. What do you think his
Speaker 1: secret to successes is the way he's real and his
Speaker 1: ability to communicate with you guys. What makes Cal so special?
Speaker 4: First off, his honesty.
Speaker 5: You know, Kyle ain't putting sugar on ship and trying
Speaker 5: to sell it to you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: So he's gonna be one hundred percent straight up with you.
Speaker 5: And he also has an eye for talent. He knows
Speaker 5: if it's his system, he knows what you know. He
Speaker 5: knows what type of players he can bring the best
Speaker 5: out of. He knows what type of players he can,
Speaker 5: you know, increase their abilities.
Speaker 4: All of these things.
Speaker 5: So he has an eye for that, and I think
Speaker 5: he just has a talent for you know, managing talent
Speaker 5: like that's that's a real thing. That's talent A lot
Speaker 5: of coaches is, but a lot of coaches lack that
Speaker 5: and they struggle with that part of coaching. That's something
Speaker 5: that doesn't get highlighted enough. So with those things, I
Speaker 5: think that's what you know, that's what you get out
Speaker 5: of cale and as a player and as a young
Speaker 5: kid at one point trying to become a pro and
Speaker 5: get to that next level, that was something that you know,
Speaker 5: meant the world to me that I could have a
Speaker 5: coach that wasn't gonna you know, tell me a lie,
Speaker 5: tell me everything I wanted to hear, and also just
Speaker 5: be straight up like, look, you do this, this and this.
Speaker 5: I can help you become a pro, but it's also
Speaker 5: on you to do this, this and this. I can,
Speaker 5: I can lead you to the water, but it's up
Speaker 5: to you to go drink it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: And you know that's that's one of the things I
Speaker 5: appreciated mostly about God. Now, motherfucker did lie to me,
Speaker 5: though he did lied to me.
Speaker 4: In my recruitment. That motherfucker told me I was gonna
Speaker 4: be bringing the ball up.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: I tried in my first practice. Man, I didn't even
Speaker 5: turn the ball over. He blew the whistles, stopped the practice.
Speaker 5: He like, what the fuck are you doing? Like I
Speaker 5: got John water projected number one point guard coming out,
Speaker 5: and I got my fucking center bringing the ball up.
Speaker 5: And then that moment, I'm like, damn, this motherfucker lied
Speaker 5: to me.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 5: But and I that shit helped me opened up other
Speaker 5: areas of my game. It helped me understand how to
Speaker 5: be a you know, a big one I needed to be,
Speaker 5: and you know, it helped me balance out my talent.
Speaker 4: So in a way it helped in long.
Speaker 1: Brown dope shoutout coach. This current Kentucky team has possibly
Speaker 1: four uh new NBA prospects on the horizon. Obviously Rob Dillahan,
Speaker 1: which everyone's going crazy over, our brother, Dwan Wagner's son
Speaker 1: d J. Wagner, Rex Shepherd, who is super high on
Speaker 1: people's boards. They're talking about him top two or three,
Speaker 1: and then Aaron Bradshaw Boogie. Out of those four, they're
Speaker 1: all wrong, They're all wrong.
Speaker 3: What you mean justin Jefferson gonna be Colders out of
Speaker 3: all of them. Watch, He's gonna be the best NBA
Speaker 3: player out of all of them.
Speaker 4: Watch.
Speaker 2: Remember I said that.
Speaker 3: Justin Netwiths, just Justin Elwis, I said, Justin Jefferson, just Eedwards,
Speaker 3: he gonna be the he gonna be the best pro
Speaker 3: out of all of them.
Speaker 2: Watch.
Speaker 1: He's not. He's not coming up this year, though, Is
Speaker 1: he possibly?
Speaker 2: Possibly? I think he will? M hm, he might, he might.
Speaker 2: He might be that fifth guy. M hm.
Speaker 1: Well, Buck, talk to us about these four right here?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 5: Uh all super talented guys. I think they all got
Speaker 5: the ability to you know, get to that next level.
Speaker 5: H Rob, that's facts. But hey, this is a small
Speaker 5: man's league now, so it's all good. Rob Dellagham being
Speaker 5: you know, kind of the you know, the brightest name
Speaker 5: on this team obviously. I think he's the most talented,
Speaker 5: you know, possibly have the most potential, you know, long term,
Speaker 5: an electric player. Uh Kyrie irvin Ish, you know when
Speaker 5: it comes to you know, being as crafty as he
Speaker 5: is with the ball, being able to create off the dribble,
Speaker 5: things of that nature, using the dribble to creat as well.
Speaker 5: So uh Kyrie irving ish Ish, Uh DJ Wagoner we
Speaker 5: all know, you know, son of Dwan Wagoner. Wen Shepard
Speaker 5: also another pro son. I think I think he'll be
Speaker 5: fifteen possibly twenty year pro if he wants to be.
Speaker 4: He's that good.
Speaker 5: He can fit any role, plays both sides of the ball,
Speaker 5: IQ through the roof. Probably a coach's dream when it
Speaker 5: comes to, you know, having certain players on your team.
Speaker 5: Like I said, he's a do it all player, knows
Speaker 5: how to play the right way, can fit any system.
Speaker 5: So I think any coach wants that. I do agree
Speaker 5: with you. Stack Justin Wis does have a lot of potential.
Speaker 5: It's still high. He has a you know, he has
Speaker 5: a very high ceiling. He's a six seven six a wing,
Speaker 5: can do it all athletic, but you know he is
Speaker 5: still putting things together. I think this type, I think this,
Speaker 5: you know this this tournament run is you know, make
Speaker 5: a break to see if he will take that next
Speaker 5: step with intering the league or fat you know, coming
Speaker 5: back for that season. He hasn't had the greatest season.
Speaker 5: He has shown flashes though, shown a lot of you know, potential,
Speaker 5: but you know this run is going to determine a
Speaker 5: lot for him. And I think that goes for the
Speaker 5: big fellow Brasshaw as well. He got to fall in
Speaker 5: love with that weight room. He has all the potential
Speaker 5: to you know and intangients to be something special at
Speaker 5: the pro level, but you got to take care of
Speaker 5: his body and have his body go to the next level.
Speaker 5: You know, shot bocker can knock down outside shots, can
Speaker 5: run the floor really well. Like I said, the next
Speaker 5: part is you know, building up his strength and body.
Speaker 5: But you know, I think all these kids, like I said,
Speaker 5: very very talented. I hope I didn't skip out on
Speaker 5: any Oh well, DJ Wagner, you know, he was number
Speaker 5: one kid coming out of high school.
Speaker 4: So it's a lot that comes with that.
Speaker 5: You know, he's struggled a bit with finding his identity
Speaker 5: in college, which is, you know, a hard thing, especially
Speaker 5: when you're training to be The pro game in the
Speaker 5: college game is two different things, even though it's you know,
Speaker 5: it's basketball, you know what I mean, But it's two
Speaker 5: different things, and I think DJ Waannon has more of
Speaker 5: a pro game. So it's kind of hard to find
Speaker 5: your identity in at the collegiate level.
Speaker 4: But uh, you know, the flashes are there.
Speaker 5: Obviously, he's full of potential being the young kid that
Speaker 5: he is, but he's still figuring it out. And I
Speaker 5: also think this tournament run you know, will make or
Speaker 5: break his decision as well. But one thing I do
Speaker 5: love about the kid is the way that he competes
Speaker 5: on the defensive end, So that's gonna always you know,
Speaker 5: be in his favorite So but as far as who
Speaker 5: I think, you know, long run, as of right now,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put my money on Reed Shepherd as you know,
Speaker 5: the best pro career. And that's more so because like
Speaker 5: I said this, he's a coach's dream like when it
Speaker 5: comes to intangibles as a player.
Speaker 3: We've seen a lot of players like that befold and
Speaker 3: they get to the league and you don't see it
Speaker 3: from no more so I want to see it.
Speaker 2: Who is that read Shepherd? We've seen a lot of read.
Speaker 1: Shepherds, Like who Tyler Herro is doing his thing?
Speaker 3: Everybody was just saying Austin Reeves was an All Star
Speaker 3: and now I ain't talking about him no more so.
Speaker 2: We didn't heard this type of stuff before.
Speaker 4: Who said that?
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people's matt come on, now, a
Speaker 3: lot of people saying that about Austin Reeves.
Speaker 2: But oh, my.
Speaker 1: God, say he was an All Star. He's still playing.
Speaker 4: Never heard that stat.
Speaker 1: He's still playing. He's like six.
Speaker 5: Shepherd becomes If ree Shepherd becomes an Austin Reeves, that's
Speaker 5: a really good career.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, that's gonna be a lot of money.
Speaker 4: Austin Reeves ain't no bomb. He's just not an All Star,
Speaker 4: which is okay.
Speaker 1: You know's got a lot of games. He's been playing
Speaker 1: well too. Yeah, here he goes. Well, good luck to
Speaker 1: all five of them young men in the tournament and
Speaker 1: man if they choose to come out going to the league.

Speaker 1: to be the powerhouse and the tournament that people under
Speaker 1: thirty don't know who used to be a monster in
Speaker 1: the tournament. I mean those duke teams were always good.
Speaker 1: I mean East team we mentioned, you know, Michigan had
Speaker 1: their run. You know if we had their run.
Speaker 3: I got one Offansas with Scottie Thurman, the Carls Williams
Speaker 3: and them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think u CLA beat them on
Speaker 1: the way the National Championship with ms Miller and Uhnas
Speaker 1: Donnas and uh Joe kim Noah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are tough teams. Corey Brewers Brewer, yeah, last
Speaker 1: but not least, Jimmy Bones fifteen oh three. How good
Speaker 1: was Duke's Jason Williams? Do y'all know you want to
Speaker 1: leave it to me? He was my he was my year.
Speaker 1: Jason Williams would have been a perennial. He would have
Speaker 1: been a perennial NBA All Star, perennial NBA All Star.
Speaker 1: He was six three with bounced mid range three pointer,
Speaker 1: a dog on defense like Jason Willis would have been
Speaker 1: a problem in the NBA. And he's someone I want
Speaker 1: to get on the show too, because I don't think
Speaker 1: people realize how good he was, Like we saw him
Speaker 1: first hand in the regular season. In the tournament. That
Speaker 1: motherfucker was a kill lure. He never got back right
Speaker 1: after the motorcycle life, I think he was a number
Speaker 1: two pick in the draft. Ou no mistake. And I
Speaker 1: want to say too, he did like what was the
Speaker 1: show Marbrashaw used to do inside inside stuff. He did
Speaker 1: a show like that where he pulled up and someone's
Speaker 1: gonna pull this up, maybe Dal and find this clip.
Speaker 1: He pulled up to an interview on a motorcycle and
Speaker 1: he even spoke on how the team said they didn't
Speaker 1: want him on a motorcycle. He ends up crashing the
Speaker 1: motorcycle and never being the same after that.
Speaker 2: Man, So he never played after that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he had. I think he did
Speaker 1: play some more, Jack, I just don't think he ever
Speaker 1: got back to uh To obviously to what he was.
Speaker 1: He was never the same after that NVA. So but
Speaker 1: he was. He was number two picking the draft National Champion.
Speaker 1: Like people need to go look up the white or
Speaker 1: the excuse me, the black Jason Williams from Duke because
Speaker 1: he was cold man. Shout out to Kyrie Irving for
Speaker 1: one of the most incredible game winners you will ever see.
Speaker 1: It was a runner, a left handed runner over Jokic
Speaker 1: from the free throw line for game.
Speaker 2: I'm not on social media, so Jack.
Speaker 1: It was some of it. It was just one of
Speaker 1: the most beautiful things you'll ever see. Bro looking in Irving,
Speaker 1: Herving just one of the most beautiful things. And I
Speaker 1: mean it leads me to think that, you know, arguably him,
Speaker 1: I put him and Kobe probably the two most skilled
Speaker 1: talented players we've ever seen, but just Kyrie was absolutely incredible.
Speaker 4: I gotta put him over cold man.
Speaker 1: Skill wise, You'll put him over you, and put him
Speaker 1: over Cod the.
Speaker 4: Motherfucker five eleven posting motherfuckers up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think you.
Speaker 3: Somebody on ESPN was saying recently though that the Mavericks
Speaker 3: didn't have no post game. They guards don't have no
Speaker 3: post game, and they got two of the best post
Speaker 3: guards in the whole league.
Speaker 2: Right, motherfuckers just be talking, know what they talk about? Uh.
Speaker 1: Dame tweeted after that shot that Kyrie is the most
Speaker 1: skilled motherfucker ever. Bruh. So, I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people are greening with you book. He was just tough.
Speaker 1: Who are your guys? Did you guys give me your
Speaker 1: your top three most skilled players of all time?
Speaker 4: Kyrie, Irvan, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm going.
Speaker 3: Kyrie, Irvin, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Call it Kyrie, Cole and Steph.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Joel, Yeah, Joel's tough.
Speaker 4: Top five for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a real life for Ship. Look, if you
Speaker 1: would have got to run your career the way you
Speaker 1: were supposed to run your career, you would definitely be
Speaker 1: in the top five. You was doing all this ship
Speaker 1: to Joel and Jokich was doing back then, dropping fifty
Speaker 1: point triple doubles. So I want to make sure you
Speaker 1: motherfuckers know about that.
Speaker 4: My handle wasn't as tight as Joe.
Speaker 1: It wasn't as No, but I think what it is.
Speaker 1: I think it's a different time. But I think, like
Speaker 1: I think, not even to your defense, because you still
Speaker 1: had a solid handle, but you were just doing point
Speaker 1: forward ship. Now he's doing more guards it. So if
Speaker 1: the game was where it is today, I feel like
Speaker 1: you would have had that type of handle too. You
Speaker 1: was just running up more of a Magic Johnson strong
Speaker 1: ball point type center type game. But yeah, no, it
Speaker 1: won't a.
Speaker 5: Lot of ice going back then either, so it wasn't
Speaker 5: necessar eily, well you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, real quick before you get out of here, shout
Speaker 1: out to our brother Eddie House and his son Jalen,
Speaker 1: who let New Mexico to the n cua A tournament.
Speaker 1: He was a Mountain West m v P. There was
Speaker 1: a viral moment where his son just went to work.
Speaker 6: House good five house of class too and took to.
Speaker 1: K I remember a little Jalen man being around the
Speaker 1: locker room with the clippers, and then you know there's
Speaker 1: there's photos of him out there as a youngster with
Speaker 1: KG and there when Eddie played for Boston. I love
Speaker 1: being able to see like our our you know, the
Speaker 1: guys we grew, you know, the guys we play in
Speaker 1: the league with their sons and this this next generation
Speaker 1: of Hoopers. Man, So definitely shout out to the house.
Speaker 1: Is that Mike Bibby's nephew, Jalen, Yeah yeah, because that's Chelsea.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, okay, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah you do you definitely remember he was definitely around.
Speaker 1: Also want to shout out man. I just saw that
Speaker 1: you could hate if you want people out there, but
Speaker 1: Kim k and her skims man them ships taken over.
Speaker 1: She They had some of the top college players on
Speaker 1: the cover of Slam just recently in skims and and
Speaker 1: and she's made her way into the leagues and leagues
Speaker 1: various leagues, I man, so shout out her. And then
Speaker 1: also want to shout out my dog, JJ Reddick as
Speaker 1: he announced him and Lebron are doing a new podcast. Man,
Speaker 1: So I think I was excited for obviously jjuse that's
Speaker 1: my guy. And then every you know, everyone wants to
Speaker 1: hear Broun talk. But it just also made me think,
Speaker 1: like media is changing, man, Media is changing, and it's
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's so player driven, player heavy. Now that
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be tough for other people out here
Speaker 1: to eat pretty soon if you're not a former player.
Speaker 4: They've been getting over too long. Bro.
Speaker 5: I love that these motherfuckers are ruined a lot of
Speaker 5: careers with you.
Speaker 1: Know, personal so absolutely, I'm.
Speaker 4: Cool with that.
Speaker 2: Did Bron and j play together?
Speaker 1: No, No, I just think I remember we're at ESPN.
Speaker 1: I remember Broun a few times since some tweets out
Speaker 1: and had a lot of respect for the way JJ
Speaker 1: was talking and moving. But Booge, it's funny you said
Speaker 1: that that the media bias that one person comes in
Speaker 1: particular is Russell Westbrook. I feel like the media fucked
Speaker 1: up his image. I don't think it was him at all,
Speaker 1: because if you know him, you love him, you fuck
Speaker 1: with them, you respect them. But the media, the Skip that,
Speaker 1: the you know, the clowns like Skip Bayless out there
Speaker 1: that continue to talk and disrespect and then the media.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, fans that aren't well educated on
Speaker 1: the game will follow along in suit. So I think
Speaker 1: that's a perfect example of someone who, you know, if
Speaker 1: you ask his peers, a lot of love and respect
Speaker 1: his media pent or his outside perception is definitely deterred
Speaker 1: by the way the media's kind of painted him over
Speaker 1: the last handful of years.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 1: Make sure you can check out Tim Thomas this week.
Speaker 1: Arguably be one of the greatest high school players of
Speaker 1: all time. Definitely had a good time sitting down with him,
Speaker 1: I think last month in New York. So make sure
Speaker 1: you guys enjoyed that. You can catch this episode on
Speaker 1: all the Smoke Production YouTube and the Draft Kings Network. Bugie,
