Speaker 5: Star twenty twenty four. Did you got shooting shows? You
Speaker 5: guys out there chilling? What you guys do out there?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: We were just out there just enjoying the environment.
Speaker 5: Man mm hmm yellowship.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I enjoyed the Uh. I enjoyed the All Star Game
Speaker 4: this year. I didn't enjoy the dunk contest though. And
Speaker 4: one of the reasons why I didn't enjoy the dunt
Speaker 4: contests because the people that he got judging the dunk
Speaker 4: contest is too old.
Speaker 2: What is that the.
Speaker 5: Hey they give they was giving him some weak ass scores.
Speaker 5: They was given away too many points for what we
Speaker 5: were seeing out there. I was and I ain't even
Speaker 5: know hating ship Like the scores were unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Bro the kid mac Klunk jumped over a kid's head,
Speaker 4: snatched the ball out his hand, let the ball go,
Speaker 4: grab the ball and get and dunped it backwards.
Speaker 2: Then gave his kid like a forty six.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was crazy. Who who was it? It was
Speaker 5: a Mitch went right from us to out there was
Speaker 5: Mitch Richmond. Who else is out there?
Speaker 2: Man? It was man?
Speaker 4: They needed they need to update the update the uhudge.
Speaker 5: You gotta update the judges.
Speaker 2: Hey.
Speaker 5: Steven Ah Smith brought up an interesting point that I
Speaker 5: never really looked at. I mean, I feel like the
Speaker 5: last real good one was Air Gordon and Zach Lavine.
Speaker 5: I think in Chicago it was, or maybe the year
Speaker 5: after that. But Stephen A. Smith made a point, and
Speaker 5: obviously he went all the way in he blamed Lebron
Speaker 5: James for the dunk cost test going the way it went.
Speaker 5: And I don't necessarily blame him, but I understand what
Speaker 5: he was saying from a standpoint of all the great
Speaker 5: high flyers before him did that, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: Doctor J did it, MJ. Dominique Wilkins did it, Kobe
Speaker 5: did it, Vince T. Mac all these other guys came
Speaker 5: and did it, and Lebron kind of, you know, said no.
Speaker 5: And that's totally his you know, if that's what he
Speaker 5: wants to do, that's what we want to do. But
Speaker 5: I guarantee if Lebron went and went out there and
Speaker 5: won two or three of them, bitches, the next round
Speaker 5: of Superstars would have been like, Shit, I'm Shitbron did it,
Speaker 5: Kobe did it, MJ did it, Nick did it. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna go try and do it. So it was an
Speaker 5: interesting point that Stephen A. Smith brought up. And again
Speaker 5: I don't personally blame him because I mean, he just
Speaker 5: do whatever the fuck he wants to do. But it
Speaker 5: made sense from a standpoint of I mean, guys are influenced,
Speaker 5: and Leron obviously has a lot of influence on the game.
Speaker 5: So if Lebron is out there and he won two
Speaker 5: or three battles and he went up against someone else
Speaker 5: that was super dope in our era. Uh, and once
Speaker 5: some dut I think it would have continued to raise
Speaker 5: the bar with the dunk contest. What are your thoughts
Speaker 5: on that?
Speaker 4: I think that a lot of times they just try
Speaker 4: to use Brian as the escape goo. You know what
Speaker 4: I mean? Oh, it's Lebron. James is Lebron, you know,
Speaker 4: and and and everything is wishy.
Speaker 2: Why she with TV? You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Uh, you know it's always he's the greatest player.
Speaker 2: But what what you mean?
Speaker 4: But what were you talking about? Why is it always
Speaker 4: a butt that man chose to say? You know what,
Speaker 4: I don't want to it's it's how many motherfuckers in
Speaker 4: the NBA jump out the building?
Speaker 2: It's a shipload of them?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 2: Why the fuck? That don't contest? Gotta be on me?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: But do you see worse? Like I said, I don't
Speaker 5: blame him for it. Like I said, Steven Aint went
Speaker 5: in and that's kind of his equivalent what you're saying.
Speaker 5: But ye, so that's what I'm saying. So you mentioned
Speaker 5: Steph that's the three point contest. He's the greatest, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean? Shoot, So do you see where
Speaker 5: he's coming from from a standpoint of if? Again, not
Speaker 5: blaming him, and he could do what the fuck he wants,
Speaker 5: But if he would have did it back in his
Speaker 5: earlier days, that the guys behind him would have continued,
Speaker 5: the next round of young superstars would have continued to
Speaker 5: do it.
Speaker 2: Do you not feel that, you know, all the contests
Speaker 2: is a personal thing? Mm hm?
Speaker 4: I want, man, I want to win a three point contest.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't win a dunk contest. I feel when Lebron
Speaker 4: came in that wasn't a goal of his a goal
Speaker 4: of his wasn't the win the dunk contest. You gotta understand, too,
Speaker 4: Mike and them had to prove themselves.
Speaker 2: You feel that Mike had to make a name.
Speaker 4: Nobody didn't think Michael Jordan was gonna be Michael fucking Jordan.
Speaker 3: I think his coach in North Carolina felt like that.
Speaker 4: We felt like, like, okay, like when Shack was in college,
Speaker 4: you knew Shack was gonna be Shack, no question. That's
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. You knew Michael Jordan had a chance
Speaker 4: to be good, had a cheap, but you didn't know
Speaker 4: he was going to be the greatest ever coming out
Speaker 4: of North Carolina. Mike got there, he had something to prove.
Speaker 4: Lebron James was on fucking Sports Illustrated in the fucking
Speaker 4: tenth grade or something, So the dunk contest wasn't nothing.
Speaker 2: He just had to come and ball out.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: I just got to go ball out. Make sure I'm
Speaker 4: putting these stats up and putting these numbers up. My
Speaker 4: team is winning. That that was what was most important
Speaker 4: to Lebron. It seemed like to me, Mike was like,
Speaker 4: I gotta get a dunk contest. I'm competing against fucking magic,
Speaker 4: I'm competing against Bird.
Speaker 2: They bigger than me.
Speaker 4: They got bigger Lebron James basically came to the NBA
Speaker 4: and he was already right there.
Speaker 2: He just had to perform.
Speaker 1: I think Lebron for him, I think he thought about
Speaker 1: it sometimes. I just think, like you gotta think for
Speaker 1: like Bron Damn the whole career, he played eighty two
Speaker 1: plus Damnar to the finals, you know, every year.
Speaker 3: I think I think he used that. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Not only is he already playing in an All Star
Speaker 1: Game every weekend, but I think he's using that as
Speaker 1: as somewhat of a break, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because that'd be more more on him to have to
Speaker 1: put after that.
Speaker 3: And also, you know, I understand what Steven A.
Speaker 1: Smith is saying, because if like like Matt said that
Speaker 1: Braun did, of course some other guys would want to
Speaker 1: do it. But he's saying as of being the face
Speaker 1: and the star of the league, and Bron has been
Speaker 1: that face of the league and that started the league
Speaker 1: for so long, it would have been great for him
Speaker 1: to just try to do it one time. But like
Speaker 1: you said that that that might not have been a
Speaker 1: goal of his It might just been to continue to
Speaker 1: his his longevity status, continued to be in one of
Speaker 1: the best ever, continued to be the best score we've
Speaker 1: ever seen, and all those.
Speaker 3: Type of things been his goal. But you can't lie, man.
Speaker 3: It would have been great to see him do at
Speaker 3: least one time.
Speaker 4: Anything Lebron would have did in the league would have
Speaker 4: been great if Lebron James jumped in the three point contests.
Speaker 2: Motherfuckers's tuned in the watch.
Speaker 4: We open for to win, but we tuned in in
Speaker 4: the watch because he's the best player in the league.
Speaker 5: I mean, I get all the accolades in long term
Speaker 5: playing and we've been super blessed to see him, But man,
Speaker 5: I don't want to hear all that shit. I would
Speaker 5: have loved to see Lebron getting that motherfucker one or
Speaker 5: two times, because you've seen him in the layup lines,
Speaker 5: like you've seen him like turn it out, you've seen
Speaker 5: him shit, you've seen him in his kids at AU lines,
Speaker 5: freaking it.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 5: So yeah, man, I'm just saying from a fast perspective again,
Speaker 5: I'm not placing no blame. Do whatever the fuck you want.
Speaker 5: I get it, and I understand what everything you guys
Speaker 5: are saying, but I would have loved to see Lebron
Speaker 5: get in the dunk contest and motherfucker put his head
Speaker 5: at the top of the square like this, dude, is
Speaker 5: just different the All Star Game, Gilly said, you liked it.
Speaker 5: I didn't get to see a lot of it. But
Speaker 5: I've been seeing a lot of people disgusted by the
Speaker 5: All Star Game, just the lack of competitiveness, the open door.
Speaker 5: And I was never an All Star, so I'm not again,
Speaker 5: I'm not talking about what the vibe and the mindset
Speaker 5: should be. But our guys that forgotten the season, shout
Speaker 5: out Dylan and Jolwney. They posted something about ar would
Speaker 5: be the greatest All Star Game two thousand and one
Speaker 5: when Ai and Steph Marlbray brought him back against the
Speaker 5: Western Conference, and it was just competitive jack, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. It wasn't Playoff Game seven type energy,
Speaker 5: but it was just a pride thing, going to go
Speaker 5: out there hard and lockdown. And we have the greatest
Speaker 5: pickup game ever assembled right here during this All Star weekend.
Speaker 5: Let's go out and compete and and really push each other,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So What are your guys
Speaker 5: in thoughts on just the lack of effort on the
Speaker 5: defensive end and just kind of it's just a it's
Speaker 5: just a brother in law defense. You score, I score,
Speaker 5: don't really competitiveness in the game. What do your guys'
Speaker 5: thoughts on that? Do you think it waters it down
Speaker 5: and fox it up?
Speaker 1: I was at that All Star Game in two thousand
Speaker 1: and one. That was my rookie yar and I made
Speaker 1: the Rookie All Star Game, and uh man, Steph was
Speaker 1: so happy for me, and I was happy for him
Speaker 1: to make that make it that year. But I knew
Speaker 1: his mindset, you know what I'm saying. I knew his mindset,
Speaker 1: and I was with him and Chuck that that whole weekend.
Speaker 1: I knew their mindset in that game. They wasn't It
Speaker 1: wasn't never talked about going and just having fun. They
Speaker 1: was talking about busting the West ass for days. So
Speaker 1: so it but it just so happened to come down
Speaker 1: to a point where they had to come back and
Speaker 1: really turn it up and play for real against shit,
Speaker 1: some of the best players we've ever seen on the West.
Speaker 3: The West was stacked at that told it at one
Speaker 3: point that game.
Speaker 1: They had KG at the three, Tim Duncan at the four,
Speaker 1: and Check at the five at one point. So that's crazy,
Speaker 1: so and and and Ai and step brought them back.
Speaker 3: But that it was.
Speaker 1: It was the most entertaining All Star Game for for
Speaker 1: one reason.
Speaker 3: The competitiveness. That's the only reason.
Speaker 5: They've shown a lot is real quick for Gilfore you
Speaker 5: go of Kobe's interview with the knuckleheads and old he
Speaker 5: had and talking about you know they play harder at
Speaker 5: at U C l A and these guys, it's just
Speaker 5: it's it's what is.
Speaker 3: The word is?
Speaker 5: It's just frustrating because it could be amazing. There's been
Speaker 5: times throughout the years where even in the last few
Speaker 5: years where they've kind of changed it and and and
Speaker 5: made it more competitive per quarter, and guys have competed.
Speaker 5: But Gil, I'm gonna get your thoughts. But then after
Speaker 5: we get your thoughts, I want to what what do
Speaker 5: you guys feel like can take it back?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 5: Is it players? Is it more incentives? Is it giving
Speaker 5: the the conference that wins it home court advantage in
Speaker 5: the finals. But Gil, let me get your first thoughts.
Speaker 5: Overall on the the All.
Speaker 4: Star Game has always been kind of the same. You know,
Speaker 4: I think that. You know, people come out, they entertain
Speaker 4: the first you know, two and a half quarters to
Speaker 4: start getting around, you know, the fourth quarter, close to
Speaker 4: the end of the third, and then they start playing
Speaker 4: for real. But then you know, you got some All
Speaker 4: Star games. That's not gonna go like that because by
Speaker 4: time they get to the fourth quarter, that shit be
Speaker 4: a blowout. You feel what I'm saying. You gotta understand
Speaker 4: them dudes wasn't fucking missing. You had holler Burn hit
Speaker 4: five threes in the first quarter. The next quarter, Dame Hito,
Speaker 4: So these dudes and it's not like they these dudes
Speaker 4: were shooting from fucking.
Speaker 2: Thirty feet away.
Speaker 4: That ship was super entertaining the me to see dudes
Speaker 4: shooting from half court knocking that shit down Like God.
Speaker 3: Damn, that's layups to professionals.
Speaker 1: If the defenses do what play properly, they're not shooting
Speaker 1: them shots.
Speaker 5: We look at it different, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: because we played it. I love to hear where where, Yeah,
Speaker 5: where Gilly is coming from, because again he's coming from
Speaker 5: obviously we're fans now, but he's coming from with just
Speaker 5: a purely basketball fan standpoint.
Speaker 4: I'm coming from that eight year old, that ten year old,
Speaker 4: that twelve year old kid that seen Damian Lillard stop
Speaker 4: at half.
Speaker 2: Court and shooting crazy. That was believable to him.
Speaker 4: That was better than fucking don't any of them motherfuckers
Speaker 4: could have did.
Speaker 2: That kid is like, holy shit, Danny.
Speaker 4: Came down at it hit another What that kid in
Speaker 4: his backyard right now shooting from his fucking neighbor's fucking backyard.
Speaker 5: I was watching that shit this morning because I missed
Speaker 5: most of it because I was flying back home. Ashton
Speaker 5: was next to me, Jack, my little five year old,
Speaker 5: and he was watching this. So we played one on
Speaker 5: one a little bit ago and he's like, Dad, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna get some shots from half court real quick. Five
Speaker 5: years old, you know what I mean. So just that imprint,
Speaker 5: how fast they pick it up and how amazing, Like
Speaker 5: ash it made me rewind that shit consistent. You know,
Speaker 5: you're right, You're right, it's different. But this goes back
Speaker 5: to the steph shit, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 5: I said, I used to coach when the boys when
Speaker 5: I first finished, boys are seven or eight, and Jack,
Speaker 5: they don't even touch the paint to get war. No more,
Speaker 5: no form, shoot or nothing. These motherfuckers are just launching
Speaker 5: that bitch, and that's just kind of the change of
Speaker 5: the game. But to Gill's point, when you come from
Speaker 5: a fear pure fans perspective, he said, eight, nine, ten,
Speaker 5: My son is five and watched that shit like ten
Speaker 5: times and we played one on one. This point is
Speaker 5: like that, I'm gon shoot from half court like it's
Speaker 5: just it's it's really purely entertaining.
Speaker 4: You know, Okay, you can jump high, you could dun't. Okay,
Speaker 4: Now these dudes is shooting from so far away that
Speaker 4: that shit is amazing. And then you gotta understand the
Speaker 4: three point contest is kind of tooking over the dunk.
Speaker 1: Contest because of the fact that Stephen a is saying
Speaker 1: the stars ain't coming out for it.
Speaker 2: It's not necessarily that too.
Speaker 4: Is that it's the game is transitioning, The game is going.
Speaker 4: The game has been about dun't. It has been about
Speaker 4: that shit for so long. Now the game is about
Speaker 4: stopping and pulling up from forty feet and turning around
Speaker 4: while the ball in the air.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know why I hit that.
Speaker 1: It's totally different if you got a guy like John
Speaker 1: mourrat winning a dunk contest. And this ain't nothing against
Speaker 1: Matt mcclunk because I coached Matt mc clunk. He's a
Speaker 1: solid kid and he been preparing for these days for
Speaker 1: a long time to win.
Speaker 3: He's dunk because yeah, because he's were kids, so he
Speaker 3: deserve all of it.
Speaker 1: But it would be a different look if they was
Speaker 1: raising that job that trophy with John Moran than mcclunk.
Speaker 3: That's just the truth.
Speaker 5: I mean, Gilly, you like it the entertainment side, A
Speaker 5: lot of people aren't on your side when it comes
Speaker 5: to that that. You know, they just feel like there's
Speaker 5: just no more competitiveness in the game. So what are
Speaker 5: some ways you guys feel like if they were going
Speaker 5: to do it, they can change it. Is that again
Speaker 5: offering more money per winning for the winning team, is
Speaker 5: at home court advantage in the finals? Is it? Is
Speaker 5: it the og set in the tone again? And when
Speaker 5: we talk about this, Gil, it's not necessarily again blaming them,
Speaker 5: but I'm thinking there are some OG's that like if
Speaker 5: you see Steph out there busting his ass, KD out
Speaker 5: there busting's ass, brawn out their busting's ass. And I'm
Speaker 5: not saying they haven't, but that kind of has to
Speaker 5: be like, well, shit, if they're gonna do it, I
Speaker 5: got to do it because I heard Anthony Edwards when
Speaker 5: they interviewed them after the game. You know, this is
Speaker 5: all this is. You know, this is kind of a
Speaker 5: break right now. No one's really trying to compete, and
Speaker 5: that's just kind of the mindset that's been you know
Speaker 5: that that's the product that's been put in front of them.
Speaker 5: But if Anthony Edwards came into this where the games
Speaker 5: were super competitive all the time, Anthony Edwards will come
Speaker 5: out there and be super competitive.
Speaker 4: But we also got to remember, this is All Star weekend,
Speaker 4: this is entertainment. This is did not afford for Lebron
Speaker 4: James to be guarding Anthony Edwards. He go up for
Speaker 4: a fucking don't come down and twist his fucking ankle.
Speaker 4: Now he helped for three fucking weeks about an All
Speaker 4: Star game where we just supposed to be having fun.
Speaker 5: There's been a history of people who've played that hard.
Speaker 5: And again, when you're out there, you can't think about that.
Speaker 5: And if you do think about that and you're not
Speaker 5: playing hard, that's how that can happen. That's when you
Speaker 5: are playing hard. That happens.
Speaker 4: So when I'm saying history, because in the history of
Speaker 4: the All Star Game, that should be sixty points time
Speaker 4: in a frecklergains.
Speaker 1: Even when Magic came back, when you had their little
Speaker 1: situation that later came back, that game was even close
Speaker 1: with Isaiah when he shot that three on Isaiah.
Speaker 3: They used to play. Bro.
Speaker 4: That's because the game may get too far out of hand,
Speaker 4: and then when they get to the fourth quarter, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 4: we down six, y'all, let's win this shit.
Speaker 5: No, I get it, but that's the same shit we
Speaker 5: talked about the two thousand and one game. Then down
Speaker 5: twenty plus, you know what I mean. But like I said,
Speaker 5: if you compete throughout the game and turn it on
Speaker 5: in the fourth, it's a different story. Because those teams
Speaker 5: are balanced, and you look at the West coming out
Speaker 5: that you would think all the older OG's like they
Speaker 5: were gonna blow them out, and that just wasn't the case.
Speaker 5: These young boys went out there and went crazy. So
Speaker 5: I just think I think the last ten years has
Speaker 5: kind of been whatever. But before that Gil early two thousands,
Speaker 5: before to the mid two thousands and then eighties through
Speaker 5: the nineties, Bro that ship was competitive. The dudes played hard.
Speaker 1: We always talk about how the m v P is
Speaker 1: a regular season award, right, We always talk about that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I think that that'll
Speaker 1: give more incentive for the for m v P. If
Speaker 1: they changed just the regular season best team in the
Speaker 1: regular seam best player, they get home court in the
Speaker 1: first three rounds, but the finals, the finals goes to
Speaker 1: whatever conference won the All Star Game.
Speaker 3: I think they turn it up.
Speaker 4: Then Let's be for real, the All Star Game will
Speaker 4: be the All Third Game. The old things will be.
Speaker 4: The Biggs play harder, the more fucking buddy like, we
Speaker 4: big into the finals. We can beat them biggas a
Speaker 4: game at.
Speaker 3: Hod nah hen hell nah, that.
Speaker 5: Shit matter, Gil, And now you're talking like a fan.
Speaker 5: That shit definitely matters.
Speaker 3: That should matter, Gill. That should matter big hard.
Speaker 4: That the team that with everybody getting them at what
Speaker 4: fifty you niggas, especially to young, but.
Speaker 3: Just think it out.
Speaker 1: You got a team with uh kd Braun, you got Kawhi,
Speaker 1: you got Minnesota Edwards, and you got uh Yo kids.
Speaker 3: You got all of them have a great chance of
Speaker 3: winning the finals.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 3: You know what homecourt advantage that's everything.
Speaker 4: You know what you but but you just named some
Speaker 4: old niggas. Maybe you need some young legs to get
Speaker 4: to them loose basketballs. Bro, You need them young legs.
Speaker 4: Get all the fucking remails you need every time, every
Speaker 4: time they missed the three who got the rebail? The
Speaker 4: young niggas, you know what, they got, the brand new
Speaker 4: fucking tires on them cars. Got all these niggas you name,
Speaker 4: they four more years away from hip replacement water on the.
Speaker 3: Yoki yo kic.
Speaker 4: Luca, Uh, it was they all baby all Luca a
Speaker 4: dootate none of that shit series.
Speaker 2: Luca slow it at me and I'm forty seven, man.
Speaker 5: Hey, they said Luca's got like what was it? It
Speaker 5: was like fifty something points and like his five All
Speaker 5: Star appearances or or or thirty high thirty like Luca's like,
Speaker 5: I don't at all.
Speaker 2: I don't even want to be here. I would have
Speaker 2: been home.
Speaker 3: Like, hey, Lucas shot a full court a full court
Speaker 3: two for one.
Speaker 2: Luca threw that shoot off the glass. They didn't jump
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 5: That ship was funny. Uh. Dunts on Stephan Sabrina, sit
Speaker 5: thoughts on Stephan Stephan Sabrina Sabrina Ship. She hit that
Speaker 5: twenty six that could have put her in the finals
Speaker 5: of the men's competition. Steph came through and hit that
Speaker 5: twenty nine. Uh. I liked it, to be honest with you,
Speaker 5: I thought it was competitive. It could have went either way.
Speaker 5: She's a hell of a shooter. Obviously we know what
Speaker 5: Steph is, But were your guys' starts on that competition.
Speaker 1: I loved it. Bro she a shooter. I mean, shooters
Speaker 1: respect shooters. I don't care if she a woman, she
Speaker 1: could shoot. She you know, it's been many times, but
Speaker 1: I've been with to La Fitness and to pick up
Speaker 1: like legims like that, and it was girls that was
Speaker 1: in there better than some of the dudes, but on
Speaker 1: the sideline.
Speaker 3: So if she can shoot, let her shoot.
Speaker 1: And I think one day a lot of them guys
Speaker 1: that are scared that's in the three point contests. They
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna do a co ed one and they
Speaker 1: gonna feel bad when they get dusted.
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, co ed three point contests would be dope.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah.
Speaker 5: I feel like the three point contest is the strongest
Speaker 5: thing left in the All Star Game. The Skills Channel
Speaker 5: used to be dope, and now they're doing pairs of
Speaker 5: threes and doing all kinds of weird shit. So really
Speaker 5: the only solid thing it used to be the dunk contest.
Speaker 5: It's it used to be some of the All Star game.
Speaker 5: But now the only solid thing to stand on is
Speaker 5: is that three point shooting, because that's to Gills point earlier.
Speaker 5: That's what the game is now.
Speaker 4: Subtumes, you get a little age, or you start acting
Speaker 4: like the old nigger.
Speaker 2: This ship is for the kids.
Speaker 5: The kids.
Speaker 4: Let us half run of the rail, throwing that ship
Speaker 4: through the top, throwing that ship through the hoops, competing.
Speaker 4: They out there having fun. Yo, stop being some old
Speaker 4: niggers daughters.
Speaker 5: We need to hear that ship. You're right because, like
Speaker 5: I said, we look at it through a different lands.
Speaker 5: And like I said, I love when you're giving us
Speaker 5: just that that entertainment perspective. I don't always agree with you,
Speaker 5: but you're absolutely right.
Speaker 4: But at your extra five year old son the whole
Speaker 4: time they throwing the ball through the through the joy he.
Speaker 2: Like this, Who wasn't dad?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: They entertainment man.
Speaker 1: The skills chote get gets the lowest ratings out of
Speaker 1: everything all weekend.
Speaker 2: That's cool.
Speaker 3: That's cool.
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, the bulk of the
Speaker 4: people who's supposed to be watching ain't watching. Because we adults,
Speaker 4: we want to see the dunks, we want to see
Speaker 4: the three points.
Speaker 2: We want to see the All Star Game.
Speaker 3: I ain't watch none of that ship, but the All
Speaker 3: Star Game.
Speaker 2: The celebrity game would get more views than the All
Speaker 2: Star Game. But they won't put me.
Speaker 5: And they had that ship with Chris Brown too. It's
Speaker 5: funny you said that, Uh it wasn't and I say
Speaker 5: it was all due respect. There wasn't a ton of
Speaker 5: big name celebrities in that and people that were really
Speaker 5: out there whoping. Michael Parsons did what he wanted out there,
Speaker 5: and that that receiver from the Rams was a monster too.
Speaker 5: But they they I guess the NBA invited Chris Brown
Speaker 5: and then drew back the invitation talking about some of
Speaker 5: the sponsors, Woo Ruffles and Ruffles came out and said
Speaker 5: they didn't have nothing to do with it.
Speaker 2: Man, I don't even talk about this ship.
Speaker 4: But our assistant was talking to the people from the league.
Speaker 4: M I was told that I was playing in the
Speaker 4: game and I was gonna be miked up.
Speaker 5: This year. Or last year, what happened? What happened? Too

Speaker 2: Listen, you tuble somebody that's thirteen years old.
Speaker 3: A year he got that same shift the ship his

Speaker 5: year old, even if he's not. JJ's nice stuff.
Speaker 3: These young niggas got that ship.
Speaker 5: No, Bro, I am with him every day I went.
Speaker 5: But I'll give him that.

Speaker 2: Believe you played with Beck.
Speaker 5: No, I think you. I think you could beat JJ.
Speaker 5: He's only twelve or thirteen. I hope you could beat JJ.
Speaker 5: But once they started getting fifteen and sixty, that's a
Speaker 5: different story.
Speaker 1: It's some kids from thirteen to sixteen that's by six seven,
Speaker 1: six eight, that you can't beat. I'm just being hones.
Speaker 1: I know you, I know you nice. But he got
Speaker 1: some kids in high school and right then and then,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: That the.
Speaker 5: Same one that's gonna be taking the ball underneath. They
Speaker 5: asked when they dunk. When they get older, they're thirteen.
Speaker 2: Like this, Hey, Gil, I would not play with stack

Speaker 4: You give us a thirteen year old in my pinky
Speaker 4: toe stack.
Speaker 3: No I acknowledge is one thing is yeah you have that.
Speaker 3: You do have that.
Speaker 1: But these kids are fast, they're young, and you're acting

Speaker 2: I'm forty seven.
Speaker 3: Oh he ain't two years old?
Speaker 5: It you all did it, I'm trying to tell him.
Speaker 4: We all around the same age. We guess what stack
Speaker 4: your fucking knees and matt knees goss sixty two thousand,
Speaker 4: eight hundred and thirty two fucking miles on them.
Speaker 5: So your ships are still fresh as what you're saying.
Speaker 5: You rub, you rub warm goat milk on your knees
Speaker 5: every night.
Speaker 1: I'm running the run flats right, and Nigga say you
Speaker 1: eat massage warm goat milk in his knee caps every night.
Speaker 2: Just think about this. You think a stud got seven thousand.
Speaker 4: Treatments in the locker room.
Speaker 5: All right, we can talk about this ship all day,
Speaker 5: but yeah, we definitely want to. We want to. We
Speaker 5: want to get a camera on that game. We definitely
Speaker 5: want to check that out. Because two drip of Jamal

Speaker 5: Philly Sports, let's move on to Philly. Hey, Philly Sports
Speaker 5: is official. It's beneficial in the past, but it's been
Speaker 5: back down for a while. But across the board, I mean,
Speaker 5: the Eagles, the Phillies, the Sixers, everybody's eating out there.
Speaker 5: What's the energy like out there? When it when just
Speaker 5: just the whole ecosystem is echoing.
Speaker 2: It's beautiful, It's beautiful.
Speaker 5: Jack.
Speaker 2: First of all, you know, we just got Buddy Hill.
Speaker 5: Right all right, mm hmm you like that move as.
Speaker 2: Three point shooting around Joel and b oh.
Speaker 4: Then we got the Then we got a little point guard,
Speaker 4: left handed kid Cam Yeah.
Speaker 5: I like him a lot.
Speaker 4: Here a dog too, yeah, So now you know, now
Speaker 4: we put them dudes, Kelly Ooh, Bray, Tobias Harris, Nicholas Patuone,
Speaker 4: we got limb Maxie.
Speaker 5: Not about Maxie first time All Star?
Speaker 2: Oh you we already know what nephew do.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm tough. My question is in b coming back
Speaker 5: though Niscus they say re evaluated four weeks, that are
Speaker 5: probably closer to eight weeks. So that puts you maybe
Speaker 5: the end of March.
Speaker 3: We just only thirty games. Now.
Speaker 4: Let me just tell you something, maybe to a big
Speaker 4: motherfucker ahead and get yourself together and get ready for
Speaker 4: these playoffs.
Speaker 2: Any worry about that?
Speaker 4: Okay, come back with ten games left, get your rhythm
Speaker 4: back when we ready.
Speaker 5: Give me your top five players in the league right now,
Speaker 5: or who's playing the best? Maybe let's go. I don't
Speaker 5: want to have to Who's who's your.
Speaker 4: M v P Joell and B without a doubt, the
Speaker 4: best player in the league. Okay, it's not even close.
Speaker 4: The center playing in the in the Guards League and
Speaker 4: he averaged thirty six points a game.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, that boy tough Shay Gilders.
Speaker 3: Alexander, that's my that's my MVP, right VP.
Speaker 4: Without a doubt. It's not even close. Unbelievable, But that
Speaker 4: two I would have to go, uh.
Speaker 3: Yo, kic.
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm, that's three I would have to go, uh,
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum.
Speaker 5: I like Jason Tatum a.
Speaker 4: Lot, and uh five would.
Speaker 2: Have to be.
Speaker 5: You're forgetting one young killer.
Speaker 2: I probably still gotta go Giannis. Mm hmm.
Speaker 5: You can't. You can't go wrong with that. I like
Speaker 5: Anthony Edwards is my young my one of my favorite
Speaker 5: players in the league right.
Speaker 4: Now, Anthony Edwards is. I would probably put Anthony Edwards
Speaker 4: six right now.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: And those five wasn't in no order except.
Speaker 5: For yeah, those are just your top five player in
Speaker 5: the league.
Speaker 4: Anytime you a big man in the Guards League and
Speaker 4: you haveage in thirty six.
Speaker 2: Points and six assists, flock and a half.
Speaker 5: Come on, man, here, you tough. Who you got coming
Speaker 5: out the West? Who are your top two teams? Who
Speaker 5: give me your final four? If mbat is healthy, give
Speaker 5: me your final four? Two on the West, two on
Speaker 5: the East.
Speaker 4: I think the final four is the Sixers and the
Speaker 4: Celtics in the East, and I think the final four
Speaker 4: in the West will be for some reason, I want
Speaker 4: to say, okay, see and Denver.
Speaker 5: Mm hmmmm, damn Jack, what's your final fourth?
Speaker 1: I got Denver and the Clippers. I got Milwaukee and
Speaker 1: Boston in the finals. But I'm gone Boston Clippers. I'm
Speaker 1: going Clippers winning all who you got in the.
Speaker 4: Finals, Gil, I think okay See and the Sixers hometown,
Speaker 4: I think yeah, I think Oklahoma City. Just they know
Speaker 4: they roles many and that's that's important to being great.
Speaker 4: Knowing who your first best player is, knowing who your
Speaker 4: second best player is, knowing who your best defensive player is,
Speaker 4: know who your best hustle player is, your third best player.
Speaker 4: Like they they got a peck in order, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like, like, go ahead, go ahead, Sta.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're right, you know.
Speaker 1: But what's gonna be interesting to see with them, Gil,
Speaker 1: because they've been having a great year of all years,
Speaker 1: when you get to the playoffs, different and ship they
Speaker 1: take away, like shah a lot of that ship he got.
Speaker 1: They taking all that ship away, and they're gonna make
Speaker 1: somebody else beat them. So if they can make them
Speaker 1: type of adjustments during the course of the game in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, yeah, they got a great chance to win.
Speaker 5: That's what I was gonna ask. Are they're too young?
Speaker 5: I mean, the experience is huge. No young teams ever
Speaker 5: really make no runs, you know what I mean? That's
Speaker 5: not to say it can't. Golden State was a younger
Speaker 5: team when they started making their run, and I'm not saying, okay,
Speaker 5: so he can't be that team. But it's just the
Speaker 5: whole nother monster in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: It is and and and one one one person that
Speaker 4: that you just can't count out in the playoffs. It's like,
Speaker 4: for some reason when it's when they gets to the playoffs,
Speaker 4: it's like this motherfucker becomes so efficient, like Kawhi.
Speaker 5: Leonard Man and he's been playing too.
Speaker 2: That motherfuckers like a machine when he gets to the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Man, Like you know, watching him over a seven Series
Speaker 4: game when he played for Toronto against the Sixers, it's like,
Speaker 4: all right, he gonna he gonna have he gonna have
Speaker 4: a bad game, all right, he going alright, alright, He
Speaker 4: motherfucker had full of good games in a row. All Right,
Speaker 4: he gonna he do for one. God damn, all right,
Speaker 4: this game seven man, This nick can't had all good games.
Speaker 2: God damn he hit the game winner on.
Speaker 5: Top of having a good game. Now, Kawhi is different. Bro.
Speaker 4: Then you watching the finals and you're like, man, that
Speaker 4: man just plays seven fucking good games against us man.
Speaker 4: Ain't no way he got it, man, Nigga. I used
Speaker 4: to shoot out the niggas man.
Speaker 5: Remember he guarded Giannis the next round two. Remember towards
Speaker 5: the end of the series, he was having luck the
Speaker 5: first time and they put Giannis on him at the end. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean my two are. I feel like I'm taking
Speaker 5: the Clippers out the west, Boston out the East, and
Speaker 5: I feel like the Clippers can stay healthy. I feel
Speaker 5: like they could win it all. For everything you just
Speaker 5: said on top of Paul George, I love I love
Speaker 5: uh t Lou's mind. They got a deep ass team.
Speaker 5: They got a lot of guys that have been there
Speaker 5: but still young enough to kind of really make happen.
Speaker 5: Things happen. I feel like health. And then you got
Speaker 5: James Harden, who's bought in twenty and ten can go
Speaker 5: off for forty given time, but it's really bought into
Speaker 5: his role. Russ Is bought into his row. You spoke
Speaker 5: about roles, and that's huge. That's a great point.
Speaker 3: This the opportunity man.
Speaker 5: Their windows closed. Hmmm.
Speaker 2: They got three players on the team that's not known
Speaker 2: for operating in the playoffs. Who James Harden.
Speaker 5: M I don't know about that. He just ain't won
Speaker 5: the big one yet.
Speaker 3: But go ahead.
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is the knock did he get
Speaker 4: his one whin it's the big game.
Speaker 3: He don't win them. He didn't put up well numbers, George.
Speaker 5: Paul, that's not true because Paul George took these boys
Speaker 5: to the Western Finals, not too that playoff p h
Speaker 5: the ship and.
Speaker 3: Ok see Indiana and Indiana.
Speaker 5: But so yeah, now and the Clippers, he's been killed.
Speaker 5: You gotta look what he's done with the Clippers. He's
Speaker 5: been killing in the playffs with the Clippers.
Speaker 4: Georgia is an unbelievable player. For what I'm saying is
Speaker 4: when it becomes that game. How I just said, Kawhi
Speaker 4: Leonard got it done in that game. Paul George haven't
Speaker 4: gotten it done in those games yet.
Speaker 5: So I have a question if you're going against if
Speaker 5: you got in b going against the Clippers, and he's
Speaker 5: the one you know that's gonna go, just like Kawhi
Speaker 5: is the one you're gonna you know who's gonna go
Speaker 5: for the Clippers. I'm taking James and p g over
Speaker 5: it with all due respect any other two on your
Speaker 5: team on the Philly t Yeah, you know that, I
Speaker 5: feel like it's really gonna rock. So to me, that's
Speaker 5: why I like, how can it not? How can it
Speaker 5: not balance out? And even if you feel like they're
Speaker 5: not gonna rock, you know, Kawhi will be the consistent.
Speaker 5: If you get guys that you got three different guys
Speaker 5: outside of Kawhi, they can give you thirty in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: And and and and old boy is nice too. You
Speaker 5: see Ala kid what's his name? Norman Powell is a gamer,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? So you got enough people
Speaker 5: that could really do. They got a lot of depth
Speaker 5: and a lot of scoring.
Speaker 4: Man, So okay, a lot of depth and a lot
Speaker 4: of scorn.
Speaker 2: Right, but this beat a problem in the playoffs?
Speaker 4: Are we gonna come down and get a ball to
Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard six times in a row like we're supposed to?
Speaker 3: They gonna play like they're playing right now.
Speaker 5: They're gonna keep flowing and everyone else ain't going. Why
Speaker 5: I'll get the ball, loud demanded.
Speaker 4: When Kawhi Leonard, we know he's no forgetting the job done.
Speaker 4: So now when it's coming down to the wire, is
Speaker 4: we gonna come down every time and run our ship?
Speaker 4: Through Kawhi like Toronto did when they won a championship.
Speaker 4: Who is do Paul Singman? I ain't touched the ball
Speaker 4: four times down? I gotta get a shot at now,
Speaker 4: James say, you know what is a fast break? I'm
Speaker 4: gonna pull up. I'm gonna take a three. That beat
Speaker 4: the difference between winning and lose.
Speaker 1: You know, and you know what I think, and and
Speaker 1: and you made a great point, because that's what That's
Speaker 1: what the problem was. When they first got together Gil,
Speaker 1: they didn't have no camaraderie, didn't know who's gonna do
Speaker 1: what I think. I think they're at the point now.
Speaker 1: You're right that is a big problem. But I think
Speaker 1: to this point this season and the way they play,
Speaker 1: I think they didn't figure that all out. I think
Speaker 1: the peckinard is understood, and I think t Lou has
Speaker 1: a great grip on controlling James as as as as
Speaker 1: telling him, you know what I'm saying, to divide to
Speaker 1: the divide the pie evenly. But whoever going, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, keep spoon feeding them too, you know what.
Speaker 3: I'm just kind of.
Speaker 1: Feel I think they got it though. But at the
Speaker 1: beginning of Gil, you exactly right. That's all you saw
Speaker 1: on the court. James didn't know who to get a
Speaker 1: ball to at the end, you didn't know Rust didn't like.
Speaker 1: It was chaos, bro, and that's why people were talking
Speaker 1: about it wasn't gonna work. But it took time to
Speaker 1: filter out and t Lou tried to figure these guys out.
Speaker 1: Now you see all four of the motherfuckers on the
Speaker 1: court at the same time at the end.
Speaker 3: Of the games.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because they get it. Two teams that that you
Speaker 5: know in Lebron and Steph that you know, ain't no
Speaker 5: telling them what can happen when they come to the playoffs.
Speaker 5: But between those two teams, if they both make it,
Speaker 5: what team do you feel like I could could could
Speaker 5: really play spoiler in the Western Conference.
Speaker 3: We're doing hypotheticals again. Either one of the motherfucker's gonna
Speaker 3: make it.
Speaker 4: No, I think I think if anybody can make it,
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a Golden State.
Speaker 5: They're playing better.
Speaker 4: Because at the end of the day, one thing you know,
Speaker 4: for Sirt, you know what you're gonna get from Steps
Speaker 4: and you know what you're gonna get from Draymond. He
Speaker 4: gonna bring the energy you know what you're gonna get
Speaker 4: from Kamenka. He's gonna be athletic, he's gonna be wiry,
Speaker 4: he's gonna attack.
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 4: Andrew Wiggins is gonna play great d He gonna get
Speaker 4: you anywhere from twelve to twenty points.
Speaker 2: Now the factor is Klay Thompson.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now, if Klay Thompson say, okay, I'm gonna eat you all,
Speaker 4: asses up. Ya've been disrespecting me all year, acting like
Speaker 4: I ain't who I am.
Speaker 2: Okay, watch this. I'm about to go into historical run
Speaker 2: on y'all asses.
Speaker 3: I hope. So that's my dog.
Speaker 2: It can happen.
Speaker 5: I would love to see it. I wouldn't be mad
Speaker 5: at it.
Speaker 2: That man off the bench.
Speaker 5: I think it also lit a fire. And you see
Speaker 5: the first game he had thirty five, So if he
Speaker 5: keeps that fire. Clay's whole thing to me is mental.
Speaker 5: It's all mental. He's real hard on himself. So if
Speaker 5: he could just be at peace and go out there
Speaker 5: and hoop an X factor like Clay is crazy. Kaitlin
Speaker 5: Cark scored a career high forty nine points to break
Speaker 5: Kelsey Plumb last week. She needs ninety nine points. Oh wait,
Speaker 5: She's also the all time women's leading scorer, right, yeah, yep, yeah,
Speaker 5: all time women's leading scorer. I needs ninety nine points.
Speaker 5: So basically, you know, a little over twenty four game
Speaker 5: twenty five a game to not pistol piece Division one
Speaker 5: record of an all time leading score in NCUBA. So
Speaker 5: my question to you guys is, well, she entered the
Speaker 5: WNBA as one of the best players in the league.
Speaker 3: Yep, she gonna get there and she gonna kill.
Speaker 1: And I put money on her and Sabrina against two
Speaker 1: NBA players shooting.
Speaker 3: Damn, sure will because they are real pair of shooters.
Speaker 3: But yeah, congratulations to her. She deserves it.
Speaker 1: But she's definitely gonna get into the league and killed. Obviously,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be some adjustments she have to make when
Speaker 1: she gets.
Speaker 3: To the league.
Speaker 1: But uh, as far as just period talent and scoring,
Speaker 1: Brough she the truth.
Speaker 2: I don't really think I'm just me being honest.
Speaker 4: I think, you know, like he said, it's gonna be
Speaker 4: some adjustments, but I think she gonna adjust.
Speaker 2: Immediately as soon as she get there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she got a certain type of confidence that she
Speaker 4: played with.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying with I know I'm just shit.
Speaker 3: Like that confidence when you can't teach you you.
Speaker 2: Got that competence.
Speaker 4: Because see, most people, most players that go to the NBA,
Speaker 4: everybody was the ship in college, every like like JJ
Speaker 4: Reddick for example, in college, he didn't miss if he
Speaker 4: was open.
Speaker 2: You knew it was good. He first got to league,
Speaker 2: that motherfucker was missing foul shots, all kinds of ship
Speaker 2: because it was a confidence thing.
Speaker 4: Then when he finally got with whatever team where he
Speaker 4: felt the confidence, he felt comfortable. Now he backed to
Speaker 4: JJ Brenden, you feel what I'm saying. Lot of times
Speaker 4: he'd just be confidence with the players. She she's not
Speaker 4: gonna lack no confidence.
Speaker 3: Fact, you remind me of like.
Speaker 2: A Caucasian Bubba Chuck.
Speaker 4: Like you knew he wasn't lacking no confidence coming to
Speaker 4: the league.
Speaker 2: He's not laughing none of that.
Speaker 4: She she pulling up from from them, turned around, walking
Speaker 4: up to the crowd. She's doing all listening. She ain't
Speaker 4: lacking no confidence at all. She's gonna come right in
Speaker 4: and cook.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's gonna be let cook. Looking forward to seeing
Speaker 5: her at the next level, but also finish the season.
Speaker 5: It feels like to me, and it's crazy, I feel
Speaker 5: like women's college basketball is bigger than men's college basketball
Speaker 5: of late last couple of years. The names and I
Speaker 5: feel like, obviously that the men's side has been watered
Speaker 5: down because there's so many different options for guys to
Speaker 5: go do now, G League, Knight, you can go over
Speaker 5: over the water, G League, So all the best players
Speaker 5: aren't going to college on the men's sides. But the
Speaker 5: women's side been averaging more viewers. Games have been competitive
Speaker 5: as fuck, and there's real stars on their side, man,
Speaker 5: So I'm happy for them.
Speaker 4: You know what I just told one of my friends, man,
Speaker 4: he said, we was watching college basketball.
Speaker 2: He said, Yo, you know what's funny, man, I don't
Speaker 2: know none of these dudes. Man. You know, I used
Speaker 2: to know players.
Speaker 4: On everybody, everybody, he said, I don't know none of
Speaker 4: these dudes. And I said Joan, I said, bro, But
Speaker 4: when you think about it, college don't have no Kevin Durantz.
Speaker 4: It don't have no Carmelo Anthony's. It don't have no
Speaker 4: Vince Youngs, I mean, Evince Carters.
Speaker 2: It don't like it don't have none of those type
Speaker 2: of players where you just be like the women do. Yeah,
Speaker 2: mm hmmm, the women like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Looking to see what Iowa women's.
Speaker 5: Playing South Carolina and her crew. Well, yeah, we know the.
Speaker 2: Women right now more than we know the men's facts.
Speaker 5: It's crazy, but you remember Mar' magices for the men
Speaker 5: used to be the most popping time of the year
Speaker 5: period when you had all the big names in the
Speaker 5: tournament that the men's tournaments to be it. But I
Speaker 5: definitely have to say the women have taken I think.
Speaker 4: Last year where it was really I was really excited
Speaker 4: about watching college basketball.
Speaker 2: Trey Young was playing.
Speaker 3: It was tough.
Speaker 5: He's been in league what about seven years now.

Speaker 3: young boys.

Speaker 4: Yeah he knew that, Like knew v was a pro,
Speaker 4: Like he's just a man amongst boys. How you get
Speaker 4: to a shot? How he do it? Like the same
Speaker 4: thing with Kevin Durant at Texas. He was shooting from everywhere.
Speaker 4: It was like, god, damn, he sticks eleven off the dribble.
Speaker 2: Pulling up and oh my, nobody like that.
