Speaker 1: the Pistons beat the next one twenty six to one.
Speaker 2: Eleven boy.
Speaker 1: K Cunningham had himself a night at the Madison Square
Speaker 1: Guarden to moout short of a triple dub forty two points,
Speaker 1: thirteen assists, eight rebounds as the Pistons sweep the season
Speaker 1: series three to zero against the Knicks. They won four
Speaker 1: straight games again, four straight game, four straight win excuse
Speaker 1: me for the Pistons, and they won by the average
Speaker 1: of twenty eight points. And they're the number. They have
Speaker 1: a commanding lead in the Eastern Conference right now. They're
Speaker 1: number one seed in the Eastern Conference where the record
Speaker 1: of forty one and thirteen. They're six games clear of
Speaker 1: the Celtics, who's currently playing right now, the Warriors.
Speaker 2: And the Knicks, who they just beat.
Speaker 1: Also, the Cavaliers are seven seven games back the Knicks
Speaker 1: and the Cavaliers are seven games back, with the Raptors
Speaker 1: at nine games back. Joebah watching this game tonight, watching
Speaker 1: Ky Cunningham, wo boy, he did a number, he did
Speaker 1: a number.
Speaker 2: He did a number seventeen to thirty four.
Speaker 1: Like I said, forty two points, thirteen assists, eight rebounds.
Speaker 1: He did it all to night. He did it all
Speaker 1: to night. What do you like about what you're on?
Speaker 2: And the Pistons and okay Ojo, they didn't have the
Speaker 2: other All Star, which is Jalen during during he didn't
Speaker 2: play to night. Yeah, so he carried a heavy load.
Speaker 2: And you can tell from the start. From the start
Speaker 2: he came out very aggressive getting to his spots. And
Speaker 2: I just think I picked Detroit to beat the Knicks
Speaker 2: last playoffs. Obviously it was learning lesson. They swept them
Speaker 2: throughout this whole season. They won all four games. So
Speaker 2: they got the edge on the Knicks right now and
Speaker 2: the Piston as soon as they get healthy, Uncle Ojo,
Speaker 2: they just gonna cruise into the playoffs. Bro, they gonna
Speaker 2: be something to deal with in the Eastern Conference. I'm
Speaker 2: telling you we're gonna look up in a couple of months.
Speaker 2: Them boys, they they got a chance to make it
Speaker 2: to the finals. Bro.
Speaker 3: They absolutely whoa hold on. Joe hold on, Joe hold On. Now,
Speaker 3: Kate Keneham is very nice. I know he's very good,
Speaker 3: But you think they can make it.
Speaker 2: Yeh finals, yes, ojo. They they got it. They got
Speaker 2: a great young team, and they got a they deep too,
Speaker 2: and they got guys who come off the bench who
Speaker 2: can win some games in the playoffs as well, you know,
Speaker 2: and they're a gritty team. You know, say what you
Speaker 2: want to buy big fella Stewart who always you know,
Speaker 2: but you need Yeah, you know, hey, listen, when they
Speaker 2: get these guys back for strength, bro, they gonna they're
Speaker 2: gonna feed off their energy right there. And you know
Speaker 2: you want a dude like that, man, You want to intimidate,
Speaker 2: an agitate, a guy who wanna go out there and
Speaker 2: you know, beat be the be the muscle for the squad.
Speaker 2: I just think they got everything you could want in
Speaker 2: a team, like from shooting to you know, uh obviously
Speaker 2: a go to guy and k who gets I mean,
Speaker 2: come on the night, man, he looked, he looked, he
Speaker 2: looked great tonight. He did a nice he looked phenomenal.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, and I got I got a question. I
Speaker 3: got a basketball question for both of you. As great
Speaker 3: as kid Cunningham look tonight, as great as you looked
Speaker 3: last year, Where is he right now? And in your
Speaker 3: list of top top players in the league.
Speaker 2: Oh right, he's up there because he is he up.
Speaker 3: There with Is he up there with Shaye and and
Speaker 3: ant Man? Is he in that same Yeah?
Speaker 2: He up there, he up there. Look, they number one,
Speaker 2: and they number one seed in the East. They gonna
Speaker 2: finish with the number one, the number one seed. Deep.
Speaker 2: They got a nice just dude. Yeah, hey, look did
Speaker 2: y'all see over All Star weekend he dropped his new shoe.
Speaker 2: He just got a signature shoe. I saw, I saw
Speaker 2: a little bit of it. I was trying to, you know,
Speaker 2: trying to he would uh would ni I'm talking about
Speaker 2: his signature shoe that he just dropped. Doing All Star break,
Speaker 2: I would probably say uncle Ojo see his business from
Speaker 2: the sneakerhead and that that put him in like the
Speaker 2: top five of sneakers Like it's cold.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well you could when you get a signature
Speaker 1: and from one of the big dogs.
Speaker 3: Yeah you're that boy.
Speaker 2: Yeah he a a and you putting them numbers up
Speaker 2: to you're man. Yeah, Detroit got him one. Boy.
Speaker 1: Hey, you know they got guys, you look at them
Speaker 1: from a bench standpoint. They got Charris LeVert, they got
Speaker 1: the Jenkins, They got guys herter.
Speaker 2: Didn't he play tonight. He can make big shots, he
Speaker 2: can make three.
Speaker 1: They got guys that le Burt can can knock down threes,
Speaker 1: but he can put the ball on the floor. I
Speaker 1: like Jenkins. He was super aggressive tonight. But you know
Speaker 1: it all at all, it's around Cad. It's around Cad
Speaker 1: and Jalen h And when those two guys and like
Speaker 1: you said, both of those guys Stewart and Dura, Duran
Speaker 1: is serving suspensions, so they'll be back. Thompson played well.
Speaker 1: Look like Bias Tobias was. He didn't shoot the ball
Speaker 1: well tonight, but he rebounded the ball extremely well.
Speaker 2: Had five as cents. He was four and sixteen.
Speaker 1: Tobias is better than that. But if he can just
Speaker 1: give them some consistency. He give them, you know, somewhere
Speaker 1: twelve twelve points.
Speaker 2: Of Joe and Ojo. He give them those rebounds.
Speaker 1: He give them somewhere seven or ten rebounds, you know,
Speaker 1: three to six assists. That's plenty enough because during gonna
Speaker 1: give you, he gonna give double double. He was a
Speaker 1: walking double double Cay and what he does, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be somewhere around twenty twenty four and ten. And then
Speaker 1: the bench chip in with what they got. I don't
Speaker 1: when you look at them and I know, look j
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson is gonna bet Jaylen Bruton. He's gonna get
Speaker 1: his points. Yeah, he's gonna get his points. Cat didn't
Speaker 1: play bad to night he was seven or fourteen.
Speaker 2: Uh, but.
Speaker 1: Cat, I don't know what it is with What do
Speaker 1: you mean mean he wasn't bad at night seven or fourteen.
Speaker 2: I need I need a little bit more. I need
Speaker 2: a little bit. I need some more shot. Sometimes I'm
Speaker 2: watching to night.
Speaker 1: Joe, he go to the basket, super duper weak.
Speaker 2: They'd be knocking the ball out of his head. They'd
Speaker 2: be blocking the shot. Said, come on, cat, catting for
Speaker 2: this big hell for this big he he ain't coming
Speaker 2: in there with with that power.
Speaker 1: That guy just pulled the ball out of his hand,
Speaker 1: knock it off his knee.
Speaker 2: They blocking shot.
Speaker 1: I was like, come on, cat and sell but tall
Speaker 1: and so at some point in time he got have
Speaker 1: to put somebody in the basket and then they'll start
Speaker 1: doing all that foolishness.
Speaker 3: He is what he is at this point. If he
Speaker 3: hadn't done it before as long as he's been in
Speaker 3: the league, it ain't.
Speaker 2: And you know what's surprising though, It's like the Knicks
Speaker 2: got these wing defenders, but man, Detroit made it look
Speaker 2: so easither one hundred and twenty six points. Kay Yocho, Yeah, man,
Speaker 2: you ain't guard nobody.
Speaker 1: It didn't matter. It didn't matter who they did. Put
Speaker 1: o g they put, they put hard, they put bridges.
Speaker 1: They didn't have no answer for Kate tonight. Now he
Speaker 1: was super. He was super super. He got up thirty
Speaker 1: four shots. I can't remember last time, Joey. I think,
Speaker 1: off the top of my head, I've seen somebody get
Speaker 1: up this many shots.
Speaker 2: So he was.
Speaker 1: He was super aggressive from the jump. I think he
Speaker 1: had like nineteen shot attemps in the first half.
Speaker 2: I was like, we damn yeah a but uncle, I
Speaker 2: like that though, because he know he has a certain
Speaker 2: sense early in this game. It's a big game, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. This is the second half of
Speaker 2: the season. Ocho. Yeah, were coming down, you know, jocking
Speaker 2: for position or necessarily if you in Detroit's case, you
Speaker 2: want to stay at number one. You know, you don't
Speaker 2: want to squander none of these games away. So I
Speaker 2: just thought he came out and was aggressive. You missing
Speaker 2: one of your all stars. You missed another you're running mate,
Speaker 2: you got your muscle. He out, So you know you're
Speaker 2: gonna have to do a lot more. A lot is
Speaker 2: gonna be asked of you. But listen, he said, man
Speaker 2: with it on my back. But yeah, I can handle that.
Speaker 2: You knowing about that boy game, iut did his thing
Speaker 2: from forty two and thirteen assists, And if you.
Speaker 1: Think about it, they got guys like Duncan Robinson can
Speaker 1: knock down threes, hurt him, can knock down threes. They
Speaker 1: got guys that can knock down threes if you start
Speaker 1: the slough or you try to double him and he's
Speaker 1: a good enough passor because he made some pass to night,
Speaker 1: you got to it's hard for one guy. And if
Speaker 1: he did this to the Knicks in the way they
Speaker 1: play defense with og and hard Michael Bridges, if he
Speaker 1: did this to them and a whole lot of other
Speaker 1: teams have a group of defenders that can defend him
Speaker 1: any better than what the Knicks did tonight. Now you
Speaker 1: just hope he have a off night because he played
Speaker 1: with extreme confidence. And Joe, you know this with Oh Joe,
Speaker 1: we had the same feeling. Once you go to a
Speaker 1: pro Bowl, You go to an All Star game, since
Speaker 1: a belief that I belong.
Speaker 2: I'm one of the guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah you looking around, I'm one of the twelve, I'm
Speaker 1: one of the twenty four best players in the NBA.
Speaker 1: I'm one of the twenty four best players. Forty eight
Speaker 1: players in the NFL our belong. Now, now your confidence.
Speaker 2: Goes through the roof. Oh man, oh y'all got y'all
Speaker 2: can never let me come across the water? Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a in real talk, can take you to a
Speaker 2: whole nother level because the belief and confidence that you
Speaker 2: have in yourself. And then once you amongst the top
Speaker 2: elite talent in the NBA for one weekend, then you
Speaker 2: kind of start to see how things are starting to
Speaker 2: shape out. Then you go back into the season with
Speaker 2: so much confidence, like listen, it's my turn now, and
Speaker 2: I just feel like that's kind of where k was
Speaker 2: at and kind of the piggyback off what Unk said.
Speaker 2: Once he gets going like that, now the mother guys Duncan, Robinson,
Speaker 2: now they can get some shots, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Thompson gets some easy some easy shots because he's so aggressive. Ocho,
Speaker 2: he got so much attention on him that you know,
Speaker 2: he making plays for everybody, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And I think that's why it's gonna be hard to
Speaker 2: stop them, bro, because in the playoffs and everything slows down,
Speaker 2: he can post up, he can play out the post,
Speaker 2: so then he can pick you apart almost on some
Speaker 2: like Yokis type, you know what I mean. But I
Speaker 2: think Detroit gonna be something to rinking with telling y'all,
Speaker 2: may y'all, we're gonna look up. Them boys gonna be
Speaker 2: in the finals in June. I agree. I think they're
Speaker 2: definitely gonna be something.
Speaker 1: And when you looking around and Kate is looking around,
Speaker 1: He's like, hold on, I see Kadi, I.
Speaker 2: See Steph, I see yok I see yeah, I see Lebron. Now,
Speaker 2: I see guys in your twenty three. I see guys
Speaker 2: in your seventeen.
Speaker 1: I see you guys. I let hold on in the
Speaker 1: next three four years. I mean, they keep talking about
Speaker 1: who's gonna be the face. Why can't I be I'm here,
Speaker 1: if I'm here, hello, even if they didn't send for me,
Speaker 1: I came anyway, there you go, so it don't matter.
Speaker 1: So it's it's just something when you go to the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. H your we speak before at football players
Speaker 1: and I look across. I'm like, damn, I see Jerry,
Speaker 1: see play maker man, I said, Joe, I see you.
Speaker 2: Oh very time.
Speaker 1: They don't get my own squad, and I got Brusie
Speaker 1: L Wave, Marino one Moon. Yeah, I'm here, y'all.
Speaker 2: Ain't tell me nothing. Y'all gonna catch hell to keep
Speaker 2: me from coming back over here. Hey, hey, and not
Speaker 2: he and not only that, Joe, I done came out.
Speaker 2: They then gave me my signature shoes. So you know
Speaker 2: I gotta show out. Yeah, yeah, So now when I
Speaker 2: touched the court, you know, you see them red things
Speaker 2: on my feet. Yeah, I'm finna get to it. I'm
Speaker 2: finna show y'all why I got my signature shoe. That's
Speaker 2: basically what That's what he said.
Speaker 1: And I told them to make sure they read because
Speaker 1: I'm fin the clown all you pomps.
Speaker 2: Hello, is it fashion week? Because I'm here the show.
Speaker 2: I'm here. I ain't never seen the clown. The color
Speaker 2: shoes but red, and they bigger than that.
Speaker 3: You know what, Joe, You could probably have tested as
Speaker 3: Joe like, when confidence sets in, you play with confidence. Joe,
Speaker 3: at some point you play with confidence at the highest level.
Speaker 3: And I'm of what confidence did for me when it
Speaker 3: comes to the NFL, and I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 3: see if it transitions or translate over to the NBA.
Speaker 3: When I was confident in the game that when you
Speaker 3: talk about the game of the game of football, you
Speaker 3: talk about the game of basketball at the highest level,
Speaker 3: it's so goddamn fast, Joe, It's so goddamned fast. But
Speaker 3: when you have confidence and you get in that zone
Speaker 3: and you're confident with what you're doing and you know
Speaker 3: what's going on, the game seems so slow at that point.
Speaker 3: Once you get confidence, everything is not moving in slow motion.
Speaker 3: But it's not as fast as people say it is,
Speaker 3: because that confidence does it does it just it just
Speaker 3: does something to you. I don't really know how to
Speaker 3: put it into words. Before, you know, most of the
Speaker 3: time before kickoff, I'm nervous, Joe, I got butterflies in
Speaker 3: my stomach, Joe, I don't talk trash all week. Why
Speaker 3: the hell am I nervous? Why the hell A I'm
Speaker 3: not scared, but there's a certain fear to it until
Speaker 3: I touch.
Speaker 1: That ball, Joe.
Speaker 3: Once I touched that ball early in the game. It
Speaker 3: just it just does something to you. I don't know
Speaker 3: how to explain it. I don't know if it's like
Speaker 3: that with basketball. You know, you make your first shot,
Speaker 3: I don't know how it goes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 3: Confidence is one hell of a drug. It's a hot man,
Speaker 3: it's everything man ojo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you make them a in basketball, boy, you make
Speaker 2: that first shot or two, it's a rap. It's a
Speaker 2: heat checked about to come out to that and somebody
Speaker 2: in trouble. It's the same way somebody in football.

Speaker 1: jobs man, O Joe, this is work here getting the
Speaker 1: game end. I got three for thirty.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, hey listen, hey, look if if if you

Speaker 2: you probably can take three for thirty and half. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1: Look you still gonna feel away, but you yeah, we won,
Speaker 1: but and then you know, yeah, we just hey, we
Speaker 1: just got to make sure we do. You know, they
Speaker 1: talking about we're gonna do a better job. We gotta
Speaker 1: get you more involved, and they're gonna do no good
Speaker 1: now that game talk about game over, y'all pull that boy, Joab,
Speaker 1: y'all might have to get the police involved.
Speaker 2: Because I'm Box.
Speaker 3: I remember I remember them days. I remember them conversations. Hey, receiver, coach,
Speaker 3: try to come talk to you. I know you ain't
Speaker 3: touched the ball yet. I know it's been a. It's
Speaker 3: been three quarters, were going into the fall? What are
Speaker 3: we doing?
Speaker 1: And then guess what they asked, Joe, what you like?
Speaker 1: I like you to get the out of my face.
Speaker 1: That's what I really like because I'm about to blow
Speaker 1: my I'm about to lose it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about what what is looking like? What they're doing?
Speaker 1: You asked you that were down fourteenth and they got
Speaker 1: the ball, and you talking.
Speaker 2: About what I like?
Speaker 3: Boy? I remember, Oh my.
Speaker 2: Goodness, out my face?
Speaker 3: Yeahs day. Good memories, man, good memories.
Speaker 1: But uh, fifty four games into the season, Detroit Pistons
Speaker 1: has the worst They have the word best record in
Speaker 1: the NBA. Uh, well, they right there with what you
Speaker 1: call him with the OKC fifty four games. Detroit had
Speaker 1: the worst record in twenty twenty four. What a different
Speaker 1: couple of years make, because now Kay Cunningham is averaging
Speaker 1: twenty seven twenty five and a half points, almost twenty
Speaker 1: six points a game, almost six rebounds of game, almost
Speaker 1: ten assists the game, one point five steals per game.
Speaker 1: He leaves the league and assists, He's leading the East
Speaker 1: and plus minus and the best player on the best team.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get some serious, serious m VP bows because
Speaker 1: it's so because I think the thing is, Yo Kitchen.
Speaker 1: Giannis is probably gonna be out of it. They're not
Speaker 1: gonna play enough games, right they missed too many game
Speaker 1: games Yep. Yeah, And it depends on I'm sure probably
Speaker 1: play enough games, but it ain't gonna be as defended
Speaker 1: because now you look at it because last year there
Speaker 1: was so much the record was so good, but right
Speaker 1: now you look at Okay Cave like, hold on, I'm
Speaker 1: playing neck and neck. He's averaging more rebounds. I'll average
Speaker 1: more rebounds than a SIS. And my team, my record,
Speaker 1: my team record is just as good as he is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we got we gotta, We got a couple
Speaker 2: more months to see because right now, yeah, you're right,
Speaker 2: they buy naked, they buy nick and neck. One can
Speaker 2: pull away from another, just depending on obviously teams success
Speaker 2: and obviously you know the numbers those that those guys
Speaker 2: are gonna have to continue to put up.
Speaker 1: But I think I think Shade being out it definitely
Speaker 1: gives us an opportunity to just look at Kaid, to
Speaker 1: focus on k because.
Speaker 2: He's not there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, And so like I said, with Gianni's
Speaker 1: being out, uh, yo kitchen I don't know. You can
Speaker 1: only miss one more game. What's the likelihood he played
Speaker 1: the next fifty games? Joe, I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: see it happening. You ain't you ain't got, you ain't
Speaker 1: got Luca and nothing. I think he's gonna be in there.
Speaker 1: I definitely do think Lucas gonna be in there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he got a shot in the dark.
Speaker 2: Yo. They the Lakers can you know, stay afloat, maybe
Speaker 2: even go on a run, continue to push themselves up
Speaker 2: or seed though. They need to be the top. There
Speaker 2: you go, they got they got to stay at the
Speaker 2: top of the West, and I think they I think
Speaker 2: he'll definitely have a.
Speaker 1: Jayleen Brown too. Jaylen Brown gonna get a job. Yes,
Speaker 1: what is second place? In second place? Yeah, and he's
Speaker 1: averaging like twenty seven twenty at the game.
Speaker 2: Definitely, yeah, he probably that's a probably career. How it
Speaker 2: is the game?
Speaker 1: Oh huh, yeah, twenty eight the game, he's like twenty
Speaker 1: seven the game.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, he definitely.
Speaker 3: Gonna They killing the Warriors. They beat them eighty three.
Speaker 2: The Warriors beat up Man without Steph Curry just don't
Speaker 2: even look the same. And I think the thing is
Speaker 2: is that when you think about them, that he's doing
Speaker 2: this with I Jason Tatum, no, Al Horford. Yeah, they've
Speaker 2: traded Prizingers, they traded Holiday and he has them in
Speaker 2: second place. And he's really the only he's the only
Speaker 2: all Star on that team.
Speaker 1: Ain't never nobody even thinking about All Star because I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody else other than him know anything about
Speaker 1: Chuck Taylor.
Speaker 2: So that's the only All Star they know.
Speaker 1: So with him playing the way he's played, he's definitely
Speaker 1: in the MVP discussion.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And I think Joe Mizzoula should He deserves
Speaker 2: more credit to the coach because it's basically been plug
Speaker 2: and play. You know, they got rid of key guys
Speaker 2: bro and just brought in guys off the bench, guys
Speaker 2: whom they've developed. They stepped right in and continue to
Speaker 2: play at a high level. And then you get Vusevich,
Speaker 2: which a lot of people ain't talking about. That's gonna
Speaker 2: help Boston out too. They got a chance to ballot
Speaker 2: in the East as well. He can pull you, he
Speaker 2: can pull the other big away from the basket.
Speaker 1: He can play the picking, he can get in the
Speaker 1: pick and rolls, can pick and pop, he can die
Speaker 1: he can shoot the three, he can defit, he can
Speaker 1: he can weak side help. Oh, he's he's he's a
Speaker 1: solid player. They look, he get he gets. He he
Speaker 1: a realt. He's gonna be a real threat out there.
Speaker 1: Like I like, you can kind of play through him
Speaker 1: a little bit. I did not see this, though, Joe,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. I did not see the Celtics
Speaker 1: being this good. Not what I the pieces that that
Speaker 1: JT's not there and the pieces they got rid of. Look,
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown is right. He's a Finals MVP. He's an
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference MVP. He's been an All he's an All
Speaker 1: NBA selection, he's a he's an All Star. Okay, fine,
Speaker 1: but to be have a two seed in the East
Speaker 1: and plague, you gotta tip your hat to it.
Speaker 2: I think nk Ocho, I think he took everything personal
Speaker 2: because he's heard all this. You know, he's heard the
Speaker 2: shots that people took in Boston. Oh, they weren't gonna
Speaker 2: be able to compete. He's heard it from everybody. He's
Speaker 2: heard it from all of us. So I think he
Speaker 2: took it personal, honestly, because the numbers that he's putting
Speaker 2: up this year, the way he's been playing. I ain't
Speaker 2: just talking about offensively, Una, I'm talking about defensively. He takes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he guards, he guards the best player and still puts up,
Speaker 2: you know, twenty eight to thirty points a night. That's
Speaker 2: hard to do. That's why when you look at him
Speaker 2: and you see his physique, his body, you see how
Speaker 2: cut and ripped up he is, like he can go
Speaker 2: all day, bro, he can go all day. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I think he got a shot in the dark on
Speaker 2: the MVP as well.
Speaker 1: It wasn't It wasn't the j T God and y'all
Speaker 1: aint gonna be nothing. It was the Olympic team. He's like,
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm a finals MVP, and y'all take the
Speaker 1: third or the fourth best player on my team, Derrick
Speaker 1: White over me at the Eastern Conference MVP, at an
Speaker 1: NBA Finals MVP, And you mean to tell me that
Speaker 1: y'all take And this is not a shot at Derek White.
Speaker 1: I love my teammate unbelievably. We want a championship together.
Speaker 1: But y'all don't crack if y'all think this man better
Speaker 1: than me. And but I think the thing of the
Speaker 1: All star situation, Joe, you gotta look Okay, guys, Devin
Speaker 1: Booker say, hey, I ain't got to score a point.
Speaker 1: What y'all need I defend? And man say I defend.
Speaker 1: So you gotta sacrifice a lot when you go to
Speaker 1: these teams. You can't be the guy that you were
Speaker 1: at your team. They got it. They got KD, Lebron
Speaker 1: and Steph. It's built around them. Everybody else you got
Speaker 1: a roll to a play. When Grant here and they
Speaker 1: put this D T this team together, that says, okay,
Speaker 1: let's look who can do this? Who can do that?
Speaker 1: And you gotta swallow a lot of pridecause look at JT.
Speaker 1: J T was a three time first team All the
Speaker 1: NBA selection. That man getting some dnps. That man played
Speaker 1: two three minutes a game.
Speaker 3: Yeah he played.
Speaker 2: Yeah hey but listen listen. See you know in the
Speaker 2: Olympics they played ten minute quarters, so instead of twelve minutes,
Speaker 2: it's a it's a forty minute game versus a forty
Speaker 2: minute game. So if Tatum already got games when he
Speaker 2: was getting DMPs, they so front loaded with that position,
Speaker 2: like uncle saying, with Lebron and KD. Bro they gonna
Speaker 2: play thirty plus minutes. Ain't be forty minutes a game.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So if you bring Jalen
Speaker 2: Brown and Jason Tatum, hey, you're gonna have two guys
Speaker 2: that gonna have some DNP.
Speaker 1: Jarrick White knows he's there to play defense book already
Speaker 1: then saying it books. I do whatever y'all need me
Speaker 1: to do. If I need to grab water, I got you.
Speaker 1: So you know, hey, it's kind of like when the
Speaker 1: OG team win, y'all know who they came to see.
Speaker 2: Get in where you fit here?
Speaker 1: When Larry already said last start the game and the
Speaker 1: next day, you know, he laid on his stomach, laid
Speaker 1: on his back because he's back. They're locked up on him.
Speaker 1: So but no, man, I love Kate had Cunningham. He's
Speaker 1: in the MVP discussion. There's the number one seed in
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference by six games. They're playing extremely well.
Speaker 1: He's an All Star. Obviously, he's gonna be an All
Speaker 1: NBA selection and deserving it. So but he's playing phenomenal
Speaker 1: basketball as we speak.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Kay Cunningham, Kay Cunningham says he's the best
Speaker 1: American player in the NBA. He told GQ, I want
Speaker 1: to be on that Olympic team coming up. I think
Speaker 1: I'm the best American player. Joe, Wow, American player. We
Speaker 1: got ad Man, we got JB. We got j T.
Speaker 1: We got Steph Curry, we got Kevin Durant, we got
Speaker 1: a man, we got Lebron James. That's six American players
Speaker 1: that I named right there. Said I'm the best American player.
Speaker 2: That what he said. Listen, Yeah, yeah, so listen, we
Speaker 2: got to take the man. Among his word, he said
Speaker 2: he the best. Hey, he gonna. Hey, look, maybe that's
Speaker 2: why he came out and put on the performance he
Speaker 2: put on the night against the nig He said, he
Speaker 2: gonna show you and Mitch.
Speaker 1: We left out Donald Mitchell. So that's that's team when
Speaker 1: you think about American players. But hey, but he definitely
Speaker 1: he definitely gonna be on the team. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. And matter of fact, you got you got to
Speaker 3: have that kind of confidence. You got to talk like that.
Speaker 3: You got to feel you the best at what you do,
Speaker 3: regardless of who else isn't God, damn NBA, the boy
Speaker 3: too and de Troy. I'm finn to put us on
Speaker 3: the metal. I want people watching us. I want people
Speaker 3: to pay attention to what we're doing. How do you
Speaker 3: do that when you have an article like that and
Speaker 3: you say something like that that nobody can call egregious
Speaker 3: because you're back it up on the goddamn caught on
Speaker 3: the hardwood. There you go, not all eyes on you
Speaker 3: when you do that kind of talking.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 3: You know what he do.
Speaker 1: He also said he also told GQ guy file baiting
Speaker 1: is the biggest problem in the NBA and accuses three
Speaker 1: superstars in the top five tier of doing it. They
Speaker 1: flopping it just too much. What are you doing? Your
Speaker 1: best players do that? Three of the top five ten
Speaker 1: guys in the NBA are doing it constantly. You're gonna
Speaker 1: kick them out of the game. Yo, who were talking about?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Who were talking about?
Speaker 2: Joe? He talking about Luca? He talking about Uh? Hey,
Speaker 2: uh who was he talking about? You're talking about yok
Speaker 2: yok yokes be flopping? Yeah, they got that love, They
Speaker 2: got that love. They got a lot of flop to
Speaker 2: their game, Oh Joe, but hey, they're getting The.
Speaker 1: Best players have always been able to draw files, especially
Speaker 1: when you drive. When you hold drive the ball and
Speaker 1: you can put it on the floor. Jordan's Kobe, now
Speaker 1: obviously with Shaq, was gonna cause you got you gotta file.
Speaker 1: You're gonna dunk, break the basket, bring the gold down
Speaker 1: on your damn head. But the guards have always done that, right.
Speaker 2: I think it's it's been It's been modified a lot
Speaker 2: differently in today's Joe, like Jordan was so athletic that
Speaker 2: he was going to the cup like he was taking
Speaker 2: a beating, you know what I mean. He wasn't shining
Speaker 2: away from the contact. Nowadays, you got guy as soon
Speaker 2: as you because you can't hand check you out of that. Nowadays,
Speaker 2: as soon as you drive and a guy touch you,
Speaker 2: you see you, bro, stop trying to get the repetition.
Speaker 2: They trying to get the repetention because at the same
Speaker 2: time when I'm driving, Oh Joe, you can't have your
Speaker 2: hands on me. Bro. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Back then, you know, oh yeah, you had to play
Speaker 1: through contact. Yeah, they body you up. You go to
Speaker 1: the thing, they bother you up. Hey, all you see
Speaker 1: the fishing dudes like get up, play on, get up.
Speaker 1: That's all they do, is Joe. But you know what
Speaker 1: a we talk about shape, but people forget there was
Speaker 1: like a five to like a six year stretch. Nobody
Speaker 1: drew file files like James Harden. Nobody no, No, James Harden.
Speaker 1: And then there was like a three year stretch when
Speaker 1: nobody drew files like Joel Embiid not even close.
Speaker 2: Nah, because they figured it out. Well, James just got
Speaker 2: a knack. He got a knack for scoring and seeking contact.
Speaker 2: Body hunting. We call it body hunting. Once he gets
Speaker 2: in the paint anywhere, he know guy's gonna be in
Speaker 2: the region. He in that ball, you're gonna hit his arms.
Speaker 2: He figured that out. He he is the best at that.
Speaker 2: And then Mbid, he was just trying to find different
Speaker 2: ways to score the basketball, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: versus taking the beat, and he know guys gonna play
Speaker 2: him hard, they're gonna be overly aggressive, so he used
Speaker 2: their aggressiveness against him, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they started to figure it out.
Speaker 1: And the thing is and just saying when those guys
Speaker 1: back in the day was averaging thirty with no three
Speaker 1: point shot rains and saying that's all they were doing, middies, middies.
Speaker 2: Now you got guys shooting one or two steps over half. Yes.
Speaker 1: Oh, even the top players getting up anywhere between five
Speaker 1: and eight threes a game, Luca Shaye, They getting up
Speaker 1: between five and Donovan Mitchell and man, they getting up
Speaker 1: between five and eight threes a damn game.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh yeah, that's that's that's that's and that's
Speaker 2: that's that's yeah, because it's some boys out here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: them boy getting eight to twelve threes up. Them boys
Speaker 2: ain't playing. Yeah, it's a different I don't have no
Speaker 2: problem with what Kate said.
Speaker 1: Hey, because guess what, they're gonna start picking this team
Speaker 1: next year because you know, I think they're already qualified. Right,
Speaker 1: do they have to go to the Worlds again or
Speaker 1: the fever? I'm not sure because he gonna be on it.
Speaker 1: We don't be sentity like everybody else be going to
Speaker 1: all these tournaments.
Speaker 2: We just basically, right, we just get ready for the Olympics.
Speaker 2: We throw a.
Speaker 1: Team together for the Olympics. You might come by better
Speaker 1: sending a team that used to playing together. It's hard
Speaker 1: to get guys that he averages thirty on this team.
Speaker 1: He averages thirty two or twenty. Yeah, and he used
Speaker 1: to playing somewhere between thirty five and forty minutes a game.
Speaker 1: And now you got this man play at eighteen minutes
Speaker 1: and you think he gonna be cool with that?
Speaker 2: And it's tough because the chemistry that you have to have.
Speaker 2: It's like we all kind of got to sacrifice a
Speaker 2: little bit, you know what I mean. But you don't
Speaker 2: want to be too unselfish to where the game starts
Speaker 2: to look sloppy and now you're passing up shots that
Speaker 2: you typically will tape, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I think uh, I think, I think.
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna be in a good spot. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be very interesting. I think the Olympic team is
Speaker 2: gonna be a look a lot different. I can see
Speaker 2: a scenario what KD is on the team. I don't
Speaker 2: know if Steff I think you think he gonna want
Speaker 2: to do it? You think to do it? I think
Speaker 2: k is gonna want to do it? Why not? Why that?
Speaker 3: And that's that's in twenty eight. That's in twenty eight,
Speaker 3: Right on, young, What about Steph Joe? You think Stephan
Speaker 3: Stephan do it in twenty eight.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Steph want to do it. They
Speaker 1: had to coach Steph. Steph's like, you know what, this
Speaker 1: was my this was my swan song. You know I
Speaker 1: got to do it with you know, the guys at
Speaker 1: Lebron and k do whore I compete it against the
Speaker 1: Lion the bulk of my career and to be able
Speaker 1: to do it with those three guys.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I mean, he could, but I don't know if he
Speaker 2: want to do it. I ain't nothing.
Speaker 1: Top of what they did and what they did in
Speaker 1: Parry Patty ain't nothing because they had to dig and
Speaker 1: dig deep against Yogi's team Serbs. Yeah, and they had
Speaker 1: to dig even deeper against the French playing on home court.
Speaker 1: I was with Gobert and and and Winby and and
Speaker 1: and Uh, what's.
Speaker 2: The other guy named? Uh? The big dude telling about
Speaker 2: that he played for? They got Yabaselli? Uh?
Speaker 1: They Yeah, what's the guy he's out?
Speaker 2: Uh? Was he with the Knicks?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know that. Yeah, I know you're talking about.
Speaker 2: I think I don't know if I think they traded
Speaker 2: for for something for.
Speaker 1: Four Yate?
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, hey Joe. And that that last game where
Speaker 3: were U s A one where Steph had to hit
Speaker 3: those for those four days to actually have a chance
Speaker 3: to win the game.
Speaker 2: Who was that? That was Friend?
Speaker 3: That was against Friend?
Speaker 2: That was that was Friends Championship? Look, I think I
Speaker 2: ain't gonna lie. Oh, Joe, they had me scared a
Speaker 2: few games. I'm like, man, they were down, they were down.
Speaker 2: They was down against Sudan. Member of South Sudan had
Speaker 2: led down. Yeah, the serve they blew the Serbs out
Speaker 2: and then they was down by fifteen against served U.
Speaker 2: With your kitchen.
Speaker 1: Vogdanovich was hitting the shot but playing out of their
Speaker 1: ying Yang.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but you know what though I do. I
Speaker 2: can see I can see Steph playing. He got some
Speaker 2: it's some. It's some great guards in here. Obviously, you
Speaker 2: know we're talking about the caves. I can see him
Speaker 2: wanting to play with Cad. I can see Steph. I
Speaker 2: can see step he was on the fist the last time. Joe.
Speaker 2: We're only two years. We're only two years. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: can I can kind of see. I can see it,
Speaker 2: like him being his like they last hoo. Rah. I
Speaker 2: can say that about it, Joe.
Speaker 1: He waited until what you're fifteen year sixteen to even
Speaker 1: play this first Olympics, and now you wanted to play
Speaker 1: the second Olympics you're eighty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that may that make it worth a while.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he might listen, he might like that feeling.
Speaker 2: Too.
Speaker 3: He might like that feeling of winning goal and want
Speaker 3: to get all.
Speaker 1: The bands a shoe because you know, it was nice
Speaker 1: to be on the world stage. He had under armor.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, I'm sure somebody Nike or Details
Speaker 1: or somebody uh uh, maybe he wants to do his
Speaker 1: own brand and put it on the big stage. But
Speaker 1: we got our work cut out for us. We got
Speaker 1: our work cut out for because the French ain't playing Wimby.
Speaker 1: Wimby is only gonna get better.

Speaker 2: You can't do that.
Speaker 1: Early Still, she is the greatest woman's player in the
Speaker 1: history of the game. You look at what she un
Speaker 1: four typ for m v PS. She either could have
Speaker 1: want to filth they gave Stewey wanted congratulations, But she's
Speaker 1: been a Defensive Player of the Year. She led the
Speaker 1: league of spurt. She's led the league in blocks, he
Speaker 1: led the league in rebounding. She's a three time she's
Speaker 1: a three time champion. She's a two time Finals MVP. Hey,
Speaker 1: the women's game is in a great space. Oho, They
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction.
Speaker 2: I really wanted to come down there to Miami and
Speaker 2: catch one of the unrivaled games. They did. Like a
Speaker 2: great scene, bro, Like the scene and atmosphere, Like they're
Speaker 2: doing a great job out there, because that's a three
Speaker 2: on three full court, Like it ain't full court. They
Speaker 2: condenced the court, make it smaller, but you've still be
Speaker 2: down and down, you know what I mean? Like, that's
Speaker 2: that's that's that's dope, Bro, that's dope. I want to
Speaker 2: see yaw. I thought it.
Speaker 1: So. The last time the US women's basketball team lost
Speaker 1: the Olympic game was in the semifinals of the nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety two in Barcelona. They were defeated by the Unified
Speaker 1: Team formerly the Soviet Union by the score seventy nine
Speaker 1: to seventy three. So that's the last time that they've
Speaker 1: lost a That might be the last time they they
Speaker 1: have lost the game in the Olympics.
Speaker 2: You're right.
Speaker 1: Hey, look we got the we got the best. It's
Speaker 1: not even close. Now, the Australia used to have a
Speaker 1: good team with you. I don't know if you remember
Speaker 1: Lauren Jackson, she's the three times NBM.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, remember ship Go.
Speaker 1: But when you look at when you look at we
Speaker 1: had Spoon and we had all that, we had all those,
Speaker 1: they can't mess with us.
Speaker 2: They can't, No, they can't. They not. Look.
Speaker 1: I understand like the men game is out. The men's
Speaker 1: game as far as around the world is outgrowing to women.
Speaker 1: But they women not messing with us.
Speaker 2: They're not right. I agree, yeah, they it don't even
Speaker 2: be no game, bro. They be one hundred to thirty two.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, come on, I mean, you think about it.
Speaker 2: We got a big I mean we could throw Asia,
Speaker 2: we could throw Stewie. We got Chelsea Gray. Now Chelsea
Speaker 2: was hurt last time. She was coming up that serious
Speaker 2: ankle injury. So she was she was not herself. She
Speaker 2: one hundred percent healthy. Uh.
Speaker 1: Now they got a next school. They got Oh man,
Speaker 1: we loaded, we got this. Uh call your b Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got this in the bag. Yeah, Joel and b Hey,
Speaker 1: look Joellenbiid say he would trade his MVP for one
Speaker 1: one healthy pro season run. I would trade my MVP
Speaker 1: for one healthy postseason run because I think if I'm healthy,
Speaker 1: I'm dominant enough that I would carry us to win
Speaker 1: a championship. I like that.
Speaker 3: I like that, Uncle Joe.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 3: I think because Joel Embiid understands how great he is
Speaker 3: with my small and simple knowledge of basketball and being
Speaker 3: able to watch him dominate on me, being at that
Speaker 3: seventy point game and watching him take that game over
Speaker 3: all four quarters. And he's had to deal with the
Speaker 3: injury history for a very long time, to the point
Speaker 3: where analysten pundits have gotten on him about being healthy
Speaker 3: and having to play one game and siting in play
Speaker 3: one game and sit I think if he was healthy
Speaker 3: and had two good knees, he probably could do just that.
Speaker 3: So I I understand what he's saying. He's probably frustrated.
Speaker 3: He probably frustrated himself.
Speaker 2: Man, you gotta you gotta want to help yourself too, Ojo.
Speaker 2: You know, you gotta you know if you know you
Speaker 2: got bad knees, man, you gotta take care of your health,
Speaker 2: keep that weight down, keep your body strong, like you
Speaker 2: gotta take accountability for that part, man.
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, Like, you come eat
Speaker 1: at McDonald's. Yeah, like you can't know that your die.
Speaker 1: You say that you eat McDonald's. Eat what got you there?
Speaker 3: I know he don't eat McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Though you didn't see him on the You don't see
Speaker 1: you don't see him on the track. Okay, go ahead,
Speaker 1: that's okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody that side had the chef. Okay, I mean
Speaker 3: I would think, so, hey, Joe, didn't you have a chef?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I had a chef, But you still eat zuzuz
Speaker 2: and o Jo Jake, you got a shive. That don't mean,
Speaker 2: I don't mean nothing. You know, you can't come into
Speaker 2: camp overweight, man. You know we got a lot riding
Speaker 2: on you. We're on your back, big fella, but we
Speaker 2: need you to be in shape. So he came into
Speaker 2: the league with a bad back. Remember he missed the process.
Speaker 2: I mean, how many years did he miss before he
Speaker 2: even started because he had the bad back. You came
Speaker 2: into the league hurt.
Speaker 1: What's the likelihood you come into a league hurt that
Speaker 1: you think you're gonna make it out and you gotta
Speaker 1: play eighty two games? So basically you playing down there
Speaker 1: every other night or every other other night, right, and
Speaker 1: you three hundred pounds running up and down the court.
Speaker 2: And that's what That's why I always always revert back
Speaker 2: to the training of what you do in the summer.
Speaker 2: You can't take the whole summer off, bro and then
Speaker 2: come in and now you playing every other day. Of course,
Speaker 2: in two months, you're gonna be in flame. You need
Speaker 2: to be hurt in your back, gonna be hurt because
Speaker 2: you ain't been doing it in the summer. Man, you
Speaker 2: gotta take care of yourself, keep your body strong. There's
Speaker 2: never an off season. Just because you ain't playing, it
Speaker 2: ain't no off season. You still gotta stay locked in,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yes, you know what I think would be better to
Speaker 3: Uncle and Joe if he wasn't hurt during the season.
Speaker 3: If you look at most most of the basketball players,
Speaker 3: they play basketball year round. They had they have a
Speaker 3: little fun, maybe not go as hard, but they played
Speaker 3: basketball year round. I think if he wasn't hurt, I
Speaker 3: think he'd be able to keep his weight down if
Speaker 3: he was able to play basketball year round. But the
Speaker 3: fact that he's hurt during the season, when the off
Speaker 3: season comes, he has to sit.
Speaker 2: Down and yes to rehab and get the trade.
Speaker 1: And because think about how hard we trained in the
Speaker 1: off season and when we get out there to camp,
Speaker 1: we were still sore because that's not the yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: starting and stopping like we're doing training camp. We're not
Speaker 1: thinking about we out there too a days. So I'm
Speaker 1: still sore even though I don't.
Speaker 2: Ran by it. I'm a phenomenal shape.
Speaker 1: When I say I'm talking about two thirty two at
Speaker 1: five bodya I'm talking about but everywhere I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: shredding like a return. I'm talking about like that. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: like email just disappear. So I know how my deeds
Speaker 1: and ankle feel man that third day, yo, Yoe? Yeah, yes, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: got keep the body strong, bro. That's why, like in
Speaker 1: the off season, o Jo, I always love staying in shape. Bro,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean for I just don't know why.
Speaker 1: I always love staying in shape.
Speaker 3: Hey speak speaking and staying in shape. But what that
