Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep my metal. I wish I had my
Speaker 1: other one that it ain't here, It's in the stories.
Speaker 1: But so I gonna be honest with you. I these Olympics.
Speaker 1: I'm always rooting for team USA and I've made that
Speaker 1: very clear. But started these Olympics, I was in my
Speaker 1: feelings for sure. That was the last time we were
Speaker 1: talking here and I would never root against our team.
Speaker 1: But I was just sitting there watching the game, and
Speaker 1: like every time I'm watching, I'm like and putting myself
Speaker 1: right there. I was.
Speaker 3: I was right there. I couldn't stop that. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: guarded that like this.
Speaker 1: And it took me a few games to get out
Speaker 1: of my fields and stopped doing that. I really used
Speaker 1: the group players to be in my feelings. By the
Speaker 1: time we hit the metal rounds, I was out of
Speaker 1: my fielding. I was settling into my role. I was
Speaker 1: settling into my role, and I was like anybody. My
Speaker 1: sister was the only person to watch the game. But
Speaker 1: you watched me watch the game. Yeah, I was one
Speaker 1: hype man, like going crazy. I'm coaching through the TV
Speaker 1: me so my energy change shorts. I've been Man, my
Speaker 1: heart was in my stomach watching this game.
Speaker 5: You man that was to talk talk me through, talk
Speaker 5: me through it, because I know you had to probably
Speaker 5: like try and jump through the TV probably text a
Speaker 5: player that was at that time.
Speaker 1: I was dis close to putting bron and stuff in
Speaker 1: the group chat like bron Man halftime it was down eleven.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 1: I was this close to group texting. They like, yo,
Speaker 1: what's like? Here we go like and we was turning
Speaker 1: the game then I was just close there.
Speaker 5: No, you be locked in. The Olympics is different, bro,
Speaker 5: It's a different feel.
Speaker 3: But I was tweeting like them on we got to
Speaker 3: pull off the tweet. I don't know you was going on.
Speaker 1: I was sweeting like like I was coaching. Yeah, but man.
Speaker 3: You got you gotta coach him up. I was doing that.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: When the walk, I was I was up at like
Speaker 3: one and they was doing the walk and ship, Oh
Speaker 3: it's the walk?
Speaker 1: What's the walk? The Olympic walk? When they walked, man,
Speaker 1: I was I ain't here race walking.
Speaker 3: Bro. Look you know what I'm saying. I'm chilling.
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn this ship man. They out there, whom
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? They getting off. I'm doing
Speaker 1: the same thing.
Speaker 5: I'm finding myself one thirty in the morning, cheering for
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, I'm cheering for Ecuador's fabe
Speaker 5: walking Olympics. Got a different vibe, Bro. And then I
Speaker 5: can imagine for you because when I was here last time,
Speaker 5: you was in your feelings. You should have been on
Speaker 5: the team. You just said you in the group. You
Speaker 5: you in group play, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So you're not there, but you mentally you prepared. You
Speaker 1: prepared for the call after if they would have called you, Bro,
Speaker 1: I was out.
Speaker 3: I was out here. So the day they called Derrick White,
Speaker 3: I was they called me, I was out of here.
Speaker 1: I was gone, Hey, Bro, did you when you're watching
Speaker 1: the Servia game, did you think that you was gonna
Speaker 1: get a texta call it? If they would have said, yo,
Speaker 1: J can you make it? That's how That's how I
Speaker 1: would have teleported. That's how the energy video he there.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 1: My nerves been so bad all day because we also
Speaker 1: we couldn't We couldn't lose this game because man, although
Speaker 1: I didn't end up on this Olympic team, I remember
Speaker 1: vividly winning in twenty twenty one and like saying, yo,
Speaker 1: the next step is to beat France and France and
Speaker 1: somehow France they pulled to they beat Germany. I know how, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know how talking about that one too. Matchups was
Speaker 1: good for them. Uh, y'all. Bousele, who was drafted by
Speaker 1: the Celtics play like two three years in the league,
Speaker 1: went back. They had incorporated him into the put you know,
Speaker 1: put him in the lineup.
Speaker 3: Yeah, took Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 1: Off the lineup and uh, last game he had twenty three.
Speaker 1: Today he had seventeen.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, and then they.
Speaker 1: Got this They got this guy I think his name
Speaker 1: is like Mattias or Matthias Matthias and le sort and
Speaker 1: like they throwing the ball into him, like he get
Speaker 1: to you can get to it. Yeah, and they were
Speaker 1: just way more physical and Winby made some big plays.
Speaker 3: He some big shots.
Speaker 1: But uh, they took Rudy Gobert out of the lineup yeap,
Speaker 1: and they won again.
Speaker 3: So what what are your thoughts on? So now?
Speaker 1: Going into the gold medal game. Think about this, going
Speaker 1: into the gold medal game. This is Rudy Gobert, All
Speaker 1: Star for defensive plarity versus Joe LMB. If you're a
Speaker 1: friend's coach, do you have to take into account that
Speaker 1: this dude gotta see those guys and he's familiar with
Speaker 1: those guys.
Speaker 3: Do you play him more or do you roll with
Speaker 3: what's been working well?
Speaker 5: Out of respect, give him a chance, but if he
Speaker 5: ain't cutting it, you gotta roll with what you got.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Like it's a gold medal game. You know what I like,
Speaker 5: it's a gold medal game. We've been winning.
Speaker 3: How many times a coach say we've been winning this way?
Speaker 3: Why change it? Absolutely?
Speaker 5: Rudy Gobert gotta figure out like and humble hisself and say, yo,
Speaker 5: if I want to go medal, I mean.
Speaker 3: Have to sit this one out.
Speaker 5: Or if I want to go medal, when I do play,
Speaker 5: I gotta do something maybe better for Rudy Gobert against
Speaker 5: centers he played against all the time, and then b
Speaker 5: a d you know, bam, you got a chance. You
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, I think just to make up
Speaker 5: of a team he is just like there's not a
Speaker 5: right for other players that compliment him being out there.
Speaker 5: And sometimes that's just that's just the nature of the game.
Speaker 5: Like you can be a great defensive player, you can
Speaker 5: be a great offensive player. But if you don't, if
Speaker 5: you don't compliment the other four players that they don't compliment.
Speaker 3: You, then it ain't no flow.
Speaker 5: And I think that's why, you know, you see the results.
Speaker 5: They can throw the ball inside. You can't throw the
Speaker 5: ball inside with Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert don't block.
Speaker 5: Two shots, three shots, four shots, Like you gotta go
Speaker 5: block four or five shots to have an impact. He
Speaker 5: gotta go get twelve fifteen rebounds to have an impact, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying, And get like you know, at.
Speaker 5: His position for what they need to win, because a
Speaker 5: lot of what he's called to do is.
Speaker 3: Winby could do it that he played on the perimeter.
Speaker 5: So you gotta be physical, you gotta be something that
Speaker 5: is reliable. Yeah, and so I rather rely on homeboy
Speaker 5: to go get me seventeen fifteen at least, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean, Like it's something I can go to.
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel sorry for Rudy Gobert, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like.
Speaker 5: Everybody pick on him and you'd be anyone.
Speaker 1: You don't don't tell the truth. I tell the truth.
Speaker 1: You don't. We live in this day and age where
Speaker 1: I've been speaking about it forever, the new media, where
Speaker 1: these people don't necessarily tell the truth in the large
Speaker 1: part because it don't fit their narrative for sure, but
Speaker 1: also because they just don't know how to see it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so for me, I just tell the truth and listen.
Speaker 1: When you are a max level player in fact aspect,
Speaker 1: if defensive player of the year over and over and
Speaker 1: over again.
Speaker 3: That comes with a certain responsibility.
Speaker 1: And if you don't uphold that responsibility, ain't nobody watching
Speaker 1: this show?
Speaker 3: If I'm like, well, you know, it wasn't Rudy Gobert's fault,
Speaker 3: Like no, if it was your fault, it was your fault.
Speaker 1: If you if you got all these accolades, I show
Speaker 1: up absolutely like the kem Bama Tombo.
Speaker 3: He he always showed up. He always black shots.
Speaker 5: You'll always file you know, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: Like it wasn't never not a time where it was
Speaker 5: like he wasn't that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: My problem with Gobert.
Speaker 5: Is I don't really know, like is he really is
Speaker 5: he he's not intimidating that the realm, So I don't
Speaker 5: know how you can be defensive here if you're not intimidate,
Speaker 5: like if you people are not intimidated.
Speaker 3: To go in the room.
Speaker 5: So that's just you know, I just think that he
Speaker 5: has a lot of accolades. I think, you know, I
Speaker 5: think he's a good player, but you got to find
Speaker 5: the right.
Speaker 3: For people to make him effective.
Speaker 5: And the way that France has made up and going
Speaker 5: into this USA game, like he gotta find a way
Speaker 5: and he got to humble hisself sometimes, Like you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, this ship the glove don't fit.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: No, I agree, And they've been playing much better basketball
Speaker 1: since they took the proof is in the pudding.
Speaker 3: But what about USA?
Speaker 1: Though, Like what about this damn game?
Speaker 3: So I was just about to ask you, So second half.
Speaker 1: The team was clearly better when we went talent like
Speaker 1: in Team USA, we got our role players. I've been
Speaker 1: a role player on Team USA, like, and Derek White's
Speaker 1: in that category, Drew's in that category. But then sometimes
Speaker 1: but then we also what makes us so much better
Speaker 1: than all these other teams is that we got that
Speaker 1: and we got role players that are the greatest role
Speaker 1: players in the world. But then we got the greatest
Speaker 1: stars in the world.
Speaker 3: And so.
Speaker 1: I felt like earlier in that game, maybe like I
Speaker 1: started texing Bob, like yo, we need to get like
Speaker 1: kd in with Steph and Bron because earlier in that
Speaker 1: game you could tell like we weren't about the out
Speaker 1: role player now and it's no knock to our role players,
Speaker 1: but that's.
Speaker 3: What they do. What they do, that's how they get you.
Speaker 3: That's what they do. That's how you get caught up.
Speaker 1: When are we going to go with the dolls? And
Speaker 1: I can speak from a role player perspective, like I
Speaker 1: always try to make it to word no matter what,
Speaker 1: I need to be in the game, like I gotta
Speaker 1: be in the game because I'm going to do something,
Speaker 1: make something. But like the reality is in Game four
Speaker 1: A the NBA Finals, I had to come out. It's
Speaker 1: the first time it happened to me in my career
Speaker 1: where it was like damn, it's winning time and it
Speaker 1: was better for me not to be in the game.
Speaker 1: That's the first time it happened to be in my career.
Speaker 1: But it happened to me, And I said all of
Speaker 1: that to say, as a role player, sometimes it's just
Speaker 1: happened to you and you can see it like it
Speaker 1: it was there, like Yo, it's time, like go to
Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, And when we finally got there, we
Speaker 1: did as a star player, a guy who was going
Speaker 1: to get thirty twenty five a night. If you're the
Speaker 1: star on that team and you know you got other guys.
Speaker 1: At what point if you're a Bron, if your Steph,
Speaker 1: you going to Steve, Like you know, we need k
Speaker 1: we need Book, like we need Joe, Like we need
Speaker 1: these stars right now to star power us to that thing.
Speaker 3: What's that balance?
Speaker 5: I'm in for a coach, you gotta think like it's
Speaker 5: all energy, right because like if you start, you can
Speaker 5: start with your top dogs. I'm gonna rely on him,
Speaker 5: he gonna rely on him. It's almost like we too unselfish.
Speaker 5: I think when the going get tough, ain't no fucking superstars, right,
Speaker 5: So you're.
Speaker 3: Like Steph, Lebron you know KD. They not.
Speaker 5: They they know that they have to they have to
Speaker 5: superstar at a high like the reason why they got
Speaker 5: a superstar at the high level. And the reason why
Speaker 5: you are a superstar is because you're the most incredible
Speaker 5: role player and the most undefined role player at your position,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And so when you're planning
Speaker 5: against Germany, you gotta think those dudes are role players
Speaker 5: in the NBA, they are superstars. So we coming out
Speaker 5: thinking like, oh man, that's by Dynavich. You know, we
Speaker 5: know what he do, but like we ain't really seen
Speaker 5: him with all the freedom in the world and all
Speaker 5: the confidence, you know what I mean. And he's going
Speaker 5: and he's playing a lot harder then he would play
Speaker 5: in the NBA because he's playing defense.
Speaker 3: You know, he's boxing out all the little things.
Speaker 5: And so for us, we got a match stet with
Speaker 5: incredible talent because if you know jew Holliday White, they
Speaker 5: used to like being energy guys, right, but if the
Speaker 5: energy don't meet where we think these dudes are role players,
Speaker 5: but they superstars, you know, they superstars and they of right,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, or like all stars in
Speaker 5: our role in this confine on the team because you
Speaker 5: know what I mean, it's like they ain't gotten no Lebron.
Speaker 3: Now you gotta figure out, oh.
Speaker 5: Shit, we now like when you see them dudes at
Speaker 5: the end of the game, celebrating and hugging each other.
Speaker 5: It's because they made that sacrifice. It wasn't casual, Like
Speaker 5: it ain't casual, no more dog like what we're gonna do?
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: And when you got five your most talented players out
Speaker 5: there on the floor, once that you know it is
Speaker 5: once that momentum because you the momentum, you know how to.
Speaker 3: Change the energy and like catch them. Once that momentum change.
Speaker 5: All five of those dudes are playing selfish, unselfish, and
Speaker 5: they're not thinking about, oh, I'm relying on Lebron, well
Speaker 5: Lebron like I'm relying on Steph.
Speaker 3: It's like, nope, here I go. I'm not open boom.
Speaker 3: They playing to play, you know what I mean, Oh
Speaker 3: that's Steff. That's good.
Speaker 1: Like but before it's like, oh that's stuff, that's good,
Speaker 1: gonna be run back, it's like, no, they go a shot.
Speaker 5: If this ship come off, I gotta get you know.
Speaker 5: It's like that sense of urgency when you got five superstars,
Speaker 5: they all gonna be the best role player when they
Speaker 5: click it.
Speaker 3: And I think that's how they caught him.
Speaker 1: No, definitely turned into that because like when Joel got
Speaker 1: going that. It came off a trail typical Joel play
Speaker 1: seven six treil.
Speaker 3: Has a pool bucket and he rolled from there.
Speaker 1: Steph coming off shooting Bron getting downhill, KD coming off
Speaker 1: looking for the MIDI he got it now I swing.
Speaker 1: That's that's definitely what it turned into, and that's what
Speaker 1: it needed to turn into, because they getting role player
Speaker 1: shots for sure.
Speaker 5: Steph Curry don't never really get role player shots, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean? So he getting a role player
Speaker 5: shot or embeid walking into a swing, and that's everybody
Speaker 5: you start watching, they just start falling into like this
Speaker 5: perfect collaboration of a puzzle. It's like, oh, we all
Speaker 5: know what we do, you know what I mean? But
Speaker 5: it's Steph had a shot move. I think he moved
Speaker 5: it to Lebron. Lebron, look penetrating the get the air
Speaker 5: on Lebron, make it.
Speaker 3: He had a trouble double today as he did, Yes,
Speaker 3: he did.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, man, Like they all play the way we
Speaker 1: see them perform at a high level and like this
Speaker 1: short little like thirteenth like show that greatness for sure,
Speaker 1: and sometimes you gotta level up because if I'm gonna
Speaker 1: lose I gotta go lose with the dudes that they're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the most for sure.
Speaker 3: And then if you got.
Speaker 5: Kd You're about to lose Steph about to lose, Lebron,
Speaker 5: You're about to lose Joe, You're about to lose book
Speaker 5: You're about to lose.
Speaker 3: You know all other dudes too.
Speaker 5: Not taking that away from nobody else, but like you
Speaker 5: put five of those dudes in, you're about to lose,
Speaker 5: and all the media on you.
Speaker 3: You can you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't be remembered as that bro man. That's so
Speaker 1: dope to watch man. Because during the Olympics, when you
Speaker 1: go through these Olympics, like for us, we grow up,
Speaker 1: we grow up on to win playing the NBA and
Speaker 1: winning an NBA championship.
Speaker 3: We don't necessarily grow up like y'all want to get
Speaker 3: an Olympic.
Speaker 1: Go. Yeah, they grow up like I want to win Euros,
Speaker 1: I want to win Olympics, and so for them. But
Speaker 1: when you get in it, though, you didn't feel that
Speaker 1: when you go through these runs every year because again
Speaker 1: I said, we're so much better than players than these guys,
Speaker 1: Like it's just the reality. Every year you get that
Speaker 1: test though, like every Olympic year, you get that one
Speaker 1: test and when you get to the end of it,
Speaker 1: bro like the bond that you have with the guys
Speaker 1: that you did it with is all built on that
Speaker 1: one test.
Speaker 3: And today was that test.
Speaker 1: Like today was that test, whereas like you see them
Speaker 1: hugging after the game, like that was the one that
Speaker 1: made you that brother.
Speaker 3: That was finally they became a team.
Speaker 5: So all the shit that they like, you know, they
Speaker 5: wasn't really tested or kind of tested or figuring it out.
Speaker 5: They had an excuse for like, there's no excuse, We're
Speaker 5: about to lose.
Speaker 3: Let's go get it.
Speaker 5: And then that's when that now you see him like damn,
Speaker 5: watch when they come out against France. They about to
Speaker 5: beat the ship out of France by twenty five twenty five,
Speaker 5: and I'm going, come on, that's killing.
Speaker 3: I know you shout, shut up. I'm going.
Speaker 5: I know where you're sitting right behind the France. France bitch,
Speaker 5: I need to go back. I'm going do that is.
Speaker 3: Wearing both of the.
Speaker 1: Olympic Metal historical like dude, you your story will be
Speaker 1: the second storyline and championship game Should I should I
Speaker 1: wear the twenty twenty Olympics that we beat France and
Speaker 1: gold medal game again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, y'all think I should wear it? Wow?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that'll be epic because every time they every time
Speaker 5: they cut to the time out, you sit here, everybody like,
Speaker 5: yo is Draymond Green coach, and they ain't gonna like
Speaker 5: the people who haven't been paying attention.
Speaker 1: They ain't gonna see you, and they ain't gonna be
Speaker 1: able to figure it out. Everybody else who know what's
Speaker 1: going on. You don't have to say nothing. You ain't
Speaker 1: never say that, you just presence. You would be you
Speaker 1: know the Godfather when he called his uncle in the courtroom.
Speaker 1: That's how you That's all you have to do is
Speaker 1: sit like this behind the bitch bro.
Speaker 3: You know I said, shock wives, because they ain't.
Speaker 1: Gonna look at it and be like, oh yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: y'all trying to intimidate this.
Speaker 3: They're gonna be like, damn, dude, what is Draymond Green gos.
Speaker 1: Hey, dude, you don't know if they're gonna sit me there,
Speaker 1: if they're gonna see me there.
Speaker 3: They would be terrified. So and speaking of.
Speaker 1: Were about to beat them about twenty five, that's a
Speaker 1: fourgone conclusion. A couple of episodes ago, I was talking
Speaker 1: about the Dream Team versus this team, and of course
Speaker 1: after the game today, everybody going to say, oh, they
Speaker 1: got tested and they should have lost.
Speaker 3: Like every team gets tested. It happens to everybody.
Speaker 1: So I'm not but I still think this team it's
Speaker 1: better than the Dream Team, regardless of what happened today.
Speaker 3: What do you what do you see for them?
Speaker 5: Like I grew up, I you know, I grew up
Speaker 5: idolizing Jordan and Magic and that that just that whole
Speaker 5: ara playing the next generation, the era, and then just
Speaker 5: kind of missed out on these dudes. But I like
Speaker 5: myred these dudes in this generation because it's just they're
Speaker 5: more athletic, more skilled, talented, shoot better.
Speaker 3: Right. But if they were locked in.
Speaker 5: The alley and they had to squab, who was you
Speaker 5: which team are you picking?
Speaker 3: If it was a fistfight, who are you picking? Unfortunately
Speaker 3: we're playing basketball.
Speaker 5: I know, but I'm just like taking that mentality because
Speaker 5: you have this super talent, right, there's I mean, shit,
Speaker 5: you got talent, so you got godly talent.
Speaker 3: So when the gods start to they have to fight.
Speaker 1: Physical skills that are like all that ship is going
Speaker 1: to just like the Olympics, like something is someone's gonna
Speaker 1: measure out, something's gonna be better than the others, is
Speaker 1: gonna be missing mass problems who wanted Well, here's the thing,
Speaker 1: I want it all of all of those guys at
Speaker 1: certain point. KD is a certain point, Brin at certain points,
Speaker 1: Steph at certain points. All of those guys in their
Speaker 1: careers has had to do that at different points. I
Speaker 1: think we get to this space of where like and
Speaker 1: this goes into like everybody always speak about these.
Speaker 3: Terms in terms of the Bron and.
Speaker 1: Jordan debate, is like MJ was more of a killer this,
Speaker 1: that and the other. But this is the thing though,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna say Bron not a killer j everybody.
Speaker 3: And again we all grew up want to be like man.
Speaker 1: But it just bothered me when like, all of these
Speaker 1: guys have had their successes at that level as well.
Speaker 1: MJ won six MJ played fifteen years, Like so there
Speaker 1: was nine years where he couldn't capture the ah to
Speaker 1: get it all the way done as well.
Speaker 3: So we all fall shorter the things sometimes.
Speaker 1: But to say, like, no, all them dudes have had
Speaker 1: that same killer at times, to put it away as well. Yes,
Speaker 1: so I so, now speaking about talent, they jump higher,
Speaker 1: they run.
Speaker 3: Faster, skill and all that.
Speaker 1: When you say that all these guys have also had
Speaker 1: to have that killer at different times.
Speaker 5: Why I'm gonna go with the Dream Team based on chemistry,
Speaker 5: based on chemistry, based on intellect, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: And based on understanding that if these.
Speaker 3: Are relieve relive, what's this team called four? Like? Can
Speaker 3: we give him another Cinco? Okay?
Speaker 5: So with the Sinko obviously they you know the Serbia
Speaker 5: game made everyone, but they have a great they have
Speaker 5: good chemistry.
Speaker 3: They would be the dogs.
Speaker 5: The Dream Team would be the underdogs, right, So imagine
Speaker 5: Michael Jordan walking into a game and Lebron is the guy,
Speaker 5: and it's like, you're not better than him or Larry Bird.
Speaker 5: You're not better than KD or whatnot or Magic. You're
Speaker 5: not better than Steph or Charles Barkley. You know, you know,
Speaker 5: Patrick ewing Er, you know what I mean. You looking,
Speaker 5: They're going to play smarter, different and I think collectively,
Speaker 5: when you got a bunch of killers in the room,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, everybody gonna die, but it's
Speaker 5: gonna be some other ones standing still, and it's gonna
Speaker 5: be some dudes run out the room, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. And so when I look at the roster
Speaker 5: of killers and I look at the roster of killers
Speaker 5: on the Sinko team, somebody is going to run out
Speaker 5: the room or get you.
Speaker 3: Know what I meant, bo socked up in the corner.
Speaker 3: You know, like I'm not.
Speaker 1: Boom boom, bom boom, somebody getting socked up in the corner.
Speaker 5: Oh he done. Let me you know, now, let me go.
Speaker 5: Let's go both sock him up, you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm looking at the size like the size
Speaker 5: factor and Dream Team One versus Dream tem Sinco.
Speaker 3: You gotta get an advantage to Dream Team One.
Speaker 1: Because they bigger Patrick, You are not better than He's
Speaker 1: bigger than Joel.
Speaker 3: Not really is huge, man.
Speaker 5: I know, but he played like Joel embiid. Ain't gonna
Speaker 5: go bang with Patrick Ewing, ain't gonna bang with David
Speaker 5: Robinson a d. You know what I mean I'm talking about.
Speaker 5: They're getting the ball in the post.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You know, not a d ain't gonna block it or
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying a d week because they
Speaker 1: gotta come out, you know, like the whole thing is
Speaker 1: can shat playing is and you gotta come out that
Speaker 1: they gotta come out the paint because and be he
Speaker 1: made you know, ah.
Speaker 3: Then with a couple of traces today. But if he missed.
Speaker 1: That energy, you know what I mean, that chemistry ain't
Speaker 1: but properately, if that's the fifth.
Speaker 3: Way all to be drunk, right, I'm just saying that's
Speaker 3: the that's the if for this.
Speaker 5: That's my reason for picking Dream Team because I think
Speaker 5: that they.
Speaker 3: Have they have more unified killer chemistry.
Speaker 5: And when I look at this Sinko team, they got
Speaker 5: all the killers in the world. Right, But Jymond Green
Speaker 5: is sitting here texting everybody around basketball because some wrong,
Speaker 5: some wrong, bro some wrong. And I'm not it's not
Speaker 5: the players, it's the chemistry. No, I think the chemistry
Speaker 5: is great, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And we saw we saw like we saw a click today.
Speaker 5: But like like what happens, Like who didn't play on
Speaker 5: the Dream Team Clyde Drexler and Christian Lanner.
Speaker 3: Well, Christian Lanner didn't even need to.
Speaker 1: Be That's so unfortunately got.
Speaker 5: Would not you know, Isaiah should have replaced Kristin. I
Speaker 5: always look at Christen later.
Speaker 1: But if they was going one college guy should have
Speaker 1: been shot.
Speaker 3: I mean not saying.
Speaker 1: Isaiah shouldn't on the team, but but they said they
Speaker 1: were picking.
Speaker 3: One college guy that should have been Do you think
Speaker 3: they should do that now?
Speaker 1: I was gonna make one college Do you think like now,
Speaker 1: since we been played.
Speaker 3: Like a not Tyre's not player, Tyre's Halliburn.
Speaker 1: Anyway, you might as well take to take us take
Speaker 1: a Cooper fly, you know what I'm saying, Not two.
Speaker 3: Though, but one.
Speaker 5: I'm cool one, but it should be like the like
Speaker 5: the college player of the year or somebody like that
Speaker 5: ship earn a spot, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: The college play of the year. Do have to have
Speaker 1: like potential to be great? You can't just be like
Speaker 1: some college player for years. Don't even make it like
Speaker 1: you can't be like that play.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I said, you gotta be like you have be
Speaker 3: a zion. The next the next face.
Speaker 1: Going into his rookie year was on the twenty twelve team.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, So like, yeah, that may
Speaker 1: say that level of talent to get that spot. And
Speaker 1: I know I'm just being petty, So do you think
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Clark should have been. Now, I think Kaitlyn Clark
Speaker 1: should have been on the I think so too, because
Speaker 1: I think it's good for the brand. It's great for
Speaker 1: the brand. And let's not we talk brand any other time.
Speaker 1: Let's not act like it don't matter now, man maim
Speaker 1: if you think about what and by the way, if
Speaker 1: you think about what the nineteen ninety two Barcelona team
Speaker 1: Dream Team did for the brand of basketball, the W
Speaker 1: is still in the art, are still in those phases
Speaker 1: of the NBA, right, like, yeah, the NBA during that,
Speaker 1: the W is there. So it must be about spreading
Speaker 1: this globally. And she's the biggest global star in women's basketball.
Speaker 1: And listen, I think, like the women we got over there,
Speaker 1: I think Angel Wilson, like I think Angel Wilson is
Speaker 1: going to be the go but like just from a
Speaker 1: peer Brandon and market extem, Kaitlyn is the biggest and
Speaker 1: so for.
Speaker 3: Her to not have been on the team because for
Speaker 3: her not to be on the team Angel reason not to.
Speaker 1: I think for what they're doing for women's basketball, that's
Speaker 1: the matter. And by the way, what they showed you
Speaker 1: in this half a season is that I'm going to
Speaker 1: be one of them one. To bet on me right now,
Speaker 1: because I'm going to be one of them ones. She's leading,
Speaker 1: Angel Reese is leading the league in double doubles, and
Speaker 1: Brooke the all time record. Kaitlyn Clark is leading the
Speaker 1: leading assists on a historical pace.
Speaker 3: They've shown you we're going to be one of them
Speaker 3: one first half of the season, So you can.
Speaker 5: Make that bet on me, Like I just wanted to
Speaker 5: say that because I had never tied. Man, I just
Speaker 5: think we miss a Gouden opportunity sure to like really
Speaker 5: extend the women's basketball brand, not saying it relying on
Speaker 5: these two, but just the attention that they get brings
Speaker 5: attention to everyone else.
Speaker 3: And now it's like, oh.
Speaker 5: You know, like you you go to watch a movie,
Speaker 5: and you know, you may go to a Will Smith
Speaker 5: movie and you may wind up liking, you know, Robbie
Speaker 5: whatever name, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So it's other promaro Robbie.
Speaker 5: I don't know her name, bro you know, I ain't
Speaker 5: in no movie with her yet. But like the attention
Speaker 5: of people who get attention allows for other talented people
Speaker 5: to be recognizing, like to be like, so it increased
Speaker 5: the fan base. So I just think that, you know,
Speaker 5: that was just my little thing. And I do think
Speaker 5: that college kids. I think like now that we're so
Speaker 5: dominant or back to our dominance, we should allow for
Speaker 5: like that college kid, like whoever the next space we
Speaker 5: think it's going to be the next contributor.
Speaker 1: You know, I agree because if you look at the
Speaker 1: game today, and here's why I agree with that one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. If you look at the game today, I said,
Speaker 1: you need a stuff, You need a KD. You need
Speaker 1: it like you need it bron you needed them stars
Speaker 1: to be in and next you will probably say Anthony Edwards. However,
Speaker 1: I was thinking book anyway, and when they end up
Speaker 1: going booking, Book was huge. And while I was thinking booking,
Speaker 1: where the college player comes in the difference in between
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards today and Book today was.
Speaker 3: Book did it already? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So book been through an Olympics and he know what
Speaker 1: that feels like that man first time feeling that you
Speaker 1: got to make that adjustment. And now that he's felt that,
Speaker 1: next Olympics, he gonna be dominating. Possibly next game, but
Speaker 1: next Olympics. Now when it gets tough, he's gonna because
Speaker 1: he didn't back down, but he just didn't know how
Speaker 1: to figure it out.
Speaker 3: The book knew exactly what to do because he had
Speaker 3: been there.
Speaker 5: It's also chemistry, right because when you think about you know, Serbia,
Speaker 5: they hoop in the NBA and then they go home
Speaker 5: and they practicing for the World Cup. Are they all
Speaker 5: playing together? So these dudes is playing together every summer.
Speaker 5: Shout out to Team USA, Shout out to all the players,
Speaker 5: because the hardest thing for all those dudes to do
Speaker 5: as superstars is All Stars, as NBA champions.
Speaker 3: Is to humble themselves enough to make the team work.
Speaker 5: Jason Tatum not playing like it take a lot bro
Speaker 5: to be a Draymond or Halliburton or you know what
Speaker 5: I mean, and Jason Tatum to sit there and like
Speaker 5: your whole fucking summer. So that commitment makes those dudes
Speaker 5: who are not playing or like their time is tricky
Speaker 5: and shit like that. It take a lot of humility,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: In twenty sixteen, sat there me, Harrison Barnes tomorrow, we
Speaker 1: sat there every now like there's one game throughout the
Speaker 1: tournament though for us, where like you got to put
Speaker 1: in in that game and you made an impact and
Speaker 1: you playing me in for minutes.
Speaker 3: All of us kind of had our moment.
Speaker 1: I don't think hb there, but but I sat there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it does take some humility. I just came off
Speaker 1: winning championship then just losing game seven of the finals.
Speaker 1: I'm growing in my popularity. I'm growing in my career,
Speaker 1: my money, my pocket's growing. Like you're like, nah, like,
Speaker 1: but I gotta be that for this team. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that's that's a sacrifice.
Speaker 5: And it's also a testament to pick in the right players. Absolutely,
Speaker 5: you gotta have a right all the way fifteen because
Speaker 5: twelve twelve. If I got twelve, it's the twelve. Dude
Speaker 5: is like upset, checked out, don't want to be there.
Speaker 5: The whole shit is fun feel that's what happened to
Speaker 5: us because I played on the World Championship team in
Speaker 5: Indiana and then we wind up losing to Genobli.
Speaker 3: We wind up playing I don't even know where we placed.
Speaker 5: But the team was so dysfunctional, and it was dysfunctional
Speaker 5: because you just had the wrong mix of personalities people, coaches.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. And there was no aim like.
Speaker 5: A court like we all walked in like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: we're here to who oh, we shouldn't lose to nobody.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 5: When you get in that testing moment and you lose,
Speaker 5: then it's like, holy shit.
Speaker 3: Well back then, did y'all try out for the team
Speaker 3: or did they just pick that team?
Speaker 5: They just picked that team. Okay, yeah, no, they just
Speaker 5: picked that team. And I was not on the team originally.
Speaker 5: I was chilling, enjoying my summer, just maxed out and
Speaker 5: uh my coach called me. I was on my case.
Speaker 5: He was like, man, you're going to go play in
Speaker 5: the World Championships. I was like, bro, I'm not going nowhere.
Speaker 5: I don't want to play. He was like, you gotta play.
Speaker 3: No, no, no.
Speaker 5: Jason Kidd had bounced out and they was like, yo,
Speaker 5: they want you to play you next up. And I
Speaker 5: was like, man, I ain't not that I don't want
Speaker 5: to pay for my country, bro, but I don't want
Speaker 5: to go to Indiana. It was I did not want
Speaker 5: to spend my summer in Indiana.
Speaker 3: I told you out to teague man club. I told him, yeah,
Speaker 3: that was discussing. Man.
Speaker 5: Hey, bro, you know I have been the Nike camp.
Speaker 5: We're staying at iup. The World Championship was in Indiana.
Speaker 1: Hey bro, Indianapolis, what a sacrifice? God bless And our
Speaker 1: coach was uh George carl Wow was George Carla coach?
Speaker 3: Whoever was? He got all my fucking nurves. I think
Speaker 3: it was George Carter car Oh my god. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5: So it was just it was a bad experience, right
Speaker 5: because you got you got so many like our team
Speaker 5: had no chemistry from the start, and there was no Lebron.
Speaker 5: There was no like superstar that came in that could
Speaker 5: say anything, you know what I mean, Like we were
Speaker 5: all all stars, but there was no whoever was acting
Speaker 5: like a.
Speaker 1: Superstar was an idiot? You feel what I'm saying. You
Speaker 1: got Reggie Mill like a superstar, Paul per You got
Speaker 1: Paul was killing, but like he had to be a superstar, right,
Speaker 1: so if Paul is acting like the superstar, you feel
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, then we fucked because the go Reggie Miller,
Speaker 1: what is Reggie Miller doing? And you got Sean Maryon
Speaker 1: what is Sean Marry.
Speaker 3: Think has been?
Speaker 1: While? Like we and then in our era, like everybody
Speaker 1: was kind of like not cool with nobody.
Speaker 3: Yeah still, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: It was like and so everybody was just kind of like, man,
Speaker 1: it was so dysfunctional.
Speaker 3: And Andre Miller was on the team.
Speaker 1: Me and him was Una point guards, and I remember
Speaker 1: I got to a point where I was like, man,
Speaker 1: what the fuck.
Speaker 5: Am I here for? Clearly the winner? Go Man, you're
Speaker 5: sitting there like, am I being used? My summer fucked off?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Like I don't like this coach, Like motherfucker's lyon these players,
Speaker 5: don't you know? It's like, who do There's nobody to
Speaker 5: step up and be like, yo, list it was done,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So I respect the players.
Speaker 5: That do this because it takes a lot of humility,
Speaker 5: dog to like give up your summer.
Speaker 3: Being like Jason Tatum be an NBA champion, you know what.
Speaker 5: I mean, and be on this dream team and to
Speaker 5: not play and you still gotta like you still got
Speaker 5: to give good energy, Like just tell them, dudes. It's
Speaker 5: just a shout out to the to the players, but
Speaker 5: also to you know, Grant healing people picking the right
Speaker 5: mix of people, you know what I mean. I think
Speaker 5: they you know, once we got it right, it was cool.
Speaker 3: H Speaking of.
Speaker 1: Olympics and goals, I watch all I love track and field,
Speaker 1: I love swimming, I love uh, I don't really watch
Speaker 1: that women's gots who obviously soccer football in other countries.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 1: Beach volleyball is be turnt love beach. We lost, yeah,
Speaker 1: we did. It was unfortunate, but and I follow all
Speaker 1: these sports. I see her, I watch it all day.
Speaker 1: There was a controversy stirred up last year by Noah Laws,
Speaker 1: who grabbed the title of the fastest man in the world,
Speaker 1: by the way, so congratulations to him.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Came back to.
Speaker 1: However, and then the two hundred, he which is his event,
Speaker 1: like the one hundred actually notized two hundreds where he
Speaker 1: came in bronze. Congratulations, which I think winning winning the
Speaker 1: medal I think is incredible.
Speaker 3: But he made a statement last year that had the.
Speaker 1: Basketball community in uproar when he said, dangn world champions.
Speaker 1: They what's something they NBA champion champions in the United States,
Speaker 1: the world champion.
Speaker 3: Is that how all that started? That's how it all started?
Speaker 3: And so.
Speaker 1: I mean it was one of those statements where it
Speaker 1: was like it made you cringe to hear him say that,
Speaker 1: because like, what are you talking about, bro? Like just
Speaker 1: the best league in the world and like we do
Speaker 1: the like what you're talking about. However, and to his credit,
Speaker 1: it made him more popular than he would have ever
Speaker 1: been in his life, and it made everybody watch racist
Speaker 1: that he was in made a lot of people root
Speaker 1: against him. And after he won a hundred, he spoke
Speaker 1: about having dyslexia and like all these different things which shout.
Speaker 3: Out to him.
Speaker 1: Man, I think it's dope to overcome that. But a
Speaker 1: lot of people I saw people making an uproar. I've
Speaker 1: talked to people. It was like, why didn't even say
Speaker 1: these things before the race? And then after the two hundred,
Speaker 1: after the two hundred that he lost, he came to
Speaker 1: Bronz he announced that he's had COVID for the last
Speaker 1: two days, but left out of the wheelchair.
Speaker 3: Why he's like so much so I just.
Speaker 1: Want to know.
Speaker 3: I think it's I.
Speaker 1: Go out of silver medal in the Bronx medal. I
Speaker 1: think that's incredible. I also but I had these thoughts also,
Speaker 1: like for us personally, No, I just the wheelchairartments. I mean,
Speaker 1: he looked at the wheelchair and then announced that he
Speaker 1: had COVID for the last two days.
Speaker 3: After he came in Bronx and in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, but I'm not laughing at nobody, Like
Speaker 1: why did he get he was in a wheelchairs because he.
Speaker 3: Was in COVID he was I haven't seen an interview.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: We're living in a crazy time, bro, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean. We're living in a crazy time where it's
Speaker 5: like people and not I'm not I'm just generalizing, like
Speaker 5: people are confused and people are coached, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean, And like it seemed like everybody waiting on
Speaker 5: their moment to like do some shit, to say some shit,
Speaker 5: and they want everybody in the world, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean, even when like you're looking at social media,
Speaker 5: like people be doing the most, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: And I think sometimes a social media fuck us up.
Speaker 5: But as athletes like it would be hard for me
Speaker 5: to play in this era with social media just because
Speaker 5: the anxiety, you know what I mean, I don't really
Speaker 5: know what to say, bro, as far as like damn,
Speaker 5: that's tough, you know what I mean, wheelchair man, it's
Speaker 5: tough to like, you know, you go from it's just
Speaker 5: like a like you maybe he's maybe he's you know,
Speaker 5: I'm a big person, like the ship. You be saying,
Speaker 5: create the energy, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And so yeah, you looked at this big moment you
Speaker 1: man said, oh I got all these problems to this,
Speaker 1: how I wont Then also like the problems starts to
Speaker 1: like you start getting asked about that ship, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, and that ship becomes annoying.
Speaker 3: You know. So I don't know about the wheelchair.
Speaker 1: I like Diddy, I don't think you can't leave out
Speaker 1: the way you just ran a race, bro, you ran too.
Speaker 1: It ain't like by the way y'all just finished like
Speaker 1: a fifteen hundred or something that you was like exhausted,
Speaker 1: you know, like a marathon, like you ran too, are we?
Speaker 3: It is the thought that damn I didn't win, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like I came in third, like
Speaker 3: maybe I was hurt.
Speaker 1: I hope not, because I think you just have to
Speaker 1: be hurt if you're in a wheelchair. If he was
Speaker 1: Paul Perce came back in the game, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure the wheelchair out. Man Again, I
Speaker 1: root for Americans, so I was happy to see him
Speaker 1: winning Hunt for sure. I think to get a bron
Speaker 1: a little beef like it did, like oh you think
Speaker 1: it's harder than I love all the competition and narratives
Speaker 1: and ship, but.
Speaker 3: Like, you can't. I don't know. You can't do that, bro,
Speaker 3: You can't. Like you gotta stand on what you stand on, right.
Speaker 3: You can't just roll.
Speaker 1: You can't just roll with it. You can't just roll off.
Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying. You gotta you gotta stand
Speaker 1: on what you stand up. You gotta run your campaign right.
Speaker 3: You can't roll away.
Speaker 1: I do wonder what it's like, though, to win a
Speaker 1: medal and then still be competing. As far as like
Speaker 1: you winning, you're done, it's over. So I wonder if
Speaker 1: he hit a little bit of complacenty of like wow,
Speaker 1: I'm the fast man of world, but to hit us
Speaker 1: with the COVID, Like, tell me you got COVID before
Speaker 1: the race, bro, Yeah, don't tell me after like I
Speaker 1: got COVID, Like before the race, I got COVID.
Speaker 3: Or don't run that's always an option that's chicky up,
Speaker 3: or don't tell me at all.
Speaker 1: I definitely told everybody I had COVID the race and then.
Speaker 3: How to line up and game.
Speaker 1: You already gave one of them.
Speaker 3: I don't need to know you got COVID. You just
Speaker 3: don't ever tell us. It's just a bad excuse.
Speaker 1: Were proud of, bro, Like that's dope, man, you you
Speaker 1: went and added to the metal.
Speaker 3: Come yeah, you got your congratulations. You know, just don't
Speaker 3: leave in the wheelchair gain. I hate when people do
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Not a wheelchairs nuts. You lose, you lose.
Speaker 3: Take it on the chain, keep it pushing. I mean
Speaker 3: you probably come out see this and be like, oh no,
Speaker 3: I fucked my ankle up, man, you know that. Hopefully
Speaker 3: don't leave.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got carned off on a stretcher, and I
Speaker 5: was if they would have let me walk off that court,
Speaker 5: iuld of did it, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 5: there's no way that I'm faking a wheelchair, Like if
Speaker 5: I needed to like get through security at the airport.
Speaker 3: Come he came back in the game after you got card. Bro.
Speaker 1: Hell no, I wish I could with that pipe my knee,
Speaker 1: Like I would have walked off if they would have,
Speaker 1: you know, I.
Speaker 3: Would let you. I want back.
Speaker 5: I want begging for No. I wasn't begging for that ship.
Speaker 5: I was thinking like, all right, let me pick me up.
Speaker 5: That came with the card. I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 5: I don't put me on that. Hey, bro, you cannot
Speaker 5: you know, a wheelchair. He shouldn't have did that.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. There's pictures that he got joints. Come on, bro,
Speaker 1: you can't do that. Man.
Speaker 3: Shit, man. People are so like fradule Yo.
Speaker 1: I tell these guys all the time. Man, you do
Speaker 1: stuff to get in that villain role. And when it
Speaker 1: ain't so hot, Yeah, everybody back at you. Everybody back yeah. Yeah, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta, you gotta stand on what you
Speaker 1: stand on. Uh.
Speaker 5: I do think part of this is like branding, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean, branding versus self awareness.
Speaker 3: Right, Like you are very self aware, right.
Speaker 5: You understand your brand, but you also understand the villain
Speaker 5: role and the brand you play when you're on the court,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And so there's never been
Speaker 5: a time where you've back down. No, I've not been
Speaker 5: honest or not been accountable, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: because you know.
Speaker 3: What's happening, you know what's cracking.
Speaker 5: I think these kids they be like still trying to
Speaker 5: figure they shit out, and like they're not really self aware.
Speaker 3: They're just more like the attention. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Fact, so the attention and the money and the money
Speaker 1: and attention, and you never really know, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, You never.
Speaker 3: Really know who you are. That's a fact.
Speaker 5: And then you know, you think about Olympic athletes, not
Speaker 5: saying you're not self aware, because I'm sure he is.
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying from a branding perspective, the media
Speaker 5: is branding you, and you're not branding.
Speaker 3: Yourself, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So you're not giving you don't have you only have
Speaker 5: a little bit of time for that fifteen second interview
Speaker 5: after race or shit. But like if you were doing
Speaker 5: a if you were self aware and branding yourself, then
Speaker 5: by the time you do that fifteen seconds, we already
Speaker 5: know who you are. And then the people who don't know,
Speaker 5: now they got something to go back to. I ain't
Speaker 5: no really no substance. And like it's crazy that stars
Speaker 5: don't have nicknames.
Speaker 3: That's true. That's what's killing me.
Speaker 5: Like, damn, dude, we're the superstars with the nickname and
Speaker 5: the you know what do we call them?
Speaker 3: What's the commercial? You know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Like, like, even though all this money is flooding around
Speaker 5: and people getting paid crazy amount of money, it's just
Speaker 5: hard to like lock in and like somebody because it's
Speaker 5: like we used to fantasy and movies and you know,
Speaker 5: like we want to call somebody something else, Like we
Speaker 5: need personalities. We're losing our personalities because everybody got bread.
Speaker 3: They don't have to do shit.
Speaker 1: Before we get out of here. The biggest failure of
Speaker 1: US Olympics this year, we all agree our three on
Speaker 1: three team, our three on three Batman's basketball team. It
Speaker 1: was probably the biggest failure hot Au the Olympics.
Speaker 3: Hot trash bro.
Speaker 1: But I couldn't believe the team. When I saw the
Speaker 1: pictures of the team, I was like, who are they?
Speaker 3: How do you qualify?
Speaker 1: And I guess who did y'all beat from the United States?
Speaker 3: I swear to got.
Speaker 1: Me in the same hotel with Kevin Durant and lebron
Speaker 1: Ja and we're the same outfit and played basketball and
Speaker 1: be that.
Speaker 5: Sorry, come on, dude, I challenged them right now and
Speaker 5: I ain't playing, unto you.
Speaker 3: I challenged them right now. Three come on.
Speaker 1: I thought, maybe like they got a great three on
Speaker 1: three team. That's why like they I haven't seen them.
Speaker 1: They trash.
Speaker 3: Who's on the team, bro? I know Jimmer fred Debt
Speaker 3: was on the team trash.
Speaker 1: Matter?
Speaker 5: After that, don't matter? The team deb came and Barry,
Speaker 5: how do you get on the team? Dylan Travis sounds
Speaker 5: like a country singer Florida Southern Travis Kareem Maddocks and
Speaker 5: he's he black. They picked him because his name is career.
Speaker 3: No it's not. They fought is he? Where are you
Speaker 3: from high school? Oh? Man? From LA? From l A?
Speaker 3: You talking about?
Speaker 1: He?
Speaker 3: Probably from LA went to park?
Speaker 5: But besides the point, how who did they be to qualify?
Speaker 5: And where is the sign ups? Because I would have
Speaker 5: loved to sign up for three on three if.
Speaker 3: They was doing it, beat me all right?
Speaker 5: So if Jimmifer that would have beat my team, I'd
Speaker 5: be like, okay, cool, y'all represent.
Speaker 1: So in light are you saying you would sign up?
Speaker 1: Las i Q Big Three said that he would pay
Speaker 1: for his guys to fire or the champions of three
Speaker 1: on three Big Three tournament to play against whoever won.
Speaker 1: I stopped looking. I don't even know if it's over,
Speaker 1: whoever won three on three? Goal? He paid for the
Speaker 1: champions of the Big Three to play against them, and
Speaker 1: he promised they would beat them.
Speaker 3: You agree with you?
Speaker 1: Champions are a Big Three so probably Jordan Crawford because.
Speaker 3: J C dominates it.
Speaker 1: I think Quincy Miller Isaiah big fella, Bro.
Speaker 5: They said, have just took it out of Isaiah, Okay,
Speaker 5: get you better off. You could have tooken one of
Speaker 5: the Big three teams to the USA Olympics instead of
Speaker 5: what we had.
Speaker 3: So should that shouldn't it be that way?
Speaker 1: Or should we start incorporating NBA players like the w
Speaker 1: the w n b A the women's three on three
Speaker 1: team is w NBA players. Should we start going younger
Speaker 1: NBA players or should we go big three guys?
Speaker 3: What is the cloud? How did they get a Who

Speaker 5: I do feel like the Liberty may win it this year.
Speaker 3: Bro, the Aces is winning it.
Speaker 5: I was at the championship last year, Aces and Liberty,
Speaker 5: and for some strange reason, I feel like the Liberty
Speaker 5: were not that far behind, even though Asia.
Speaker 3: Was dominated or whatnot. I felt like the Liberty.
Speaker 5: Had they had it, they could have they could have
Speaker 5: they could have really, you know, challenged them better.
Speaker 3: They could have been they could have been people.
Speaker 1: The Houston Rockets was once not that far behind, and
Speaker 1: then they got further behind.
Speaker 3: So just because you one time.
Speaker 1: At one point, one step barbar and then they got
Speaker 1: further behind. Like when you get your window, you get
Speaker 1: your chance. You gotta get through that. And see the
Speaker 1: Aces had already got through, so they were already champions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they had to chap That's what got them over
Speaker 3: the edge. Liberty. You still ain't got through that window.
Speaker 3: And you don't always know it'll be Aces in Liberty.
Speaker 1: I don't know the Connecticut Sound Rocket and you don't
