Speaker 2: down Dirk in his now, but he's an NBA All
Speaker 2: Star and entrepreneur.

Speaker 2: thousand and seven we Believe Warriors.
Speaker 1: Something crazy is is I wasn't even alive for that.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: So here's what I want to know. Do you root
Speaker 1: for the Warriors? Are you a Warriors fan?
Speaker 3: I do. I always say the Warriors have my heart.
Speaker 4: You know, born and raised here in La I was
Speaker 4: born in nineteen seventy nine. Do you remember King you like,
Speaker 4: go back that far? Is it all true history?
Speaker 3: Yeah? But that was the year of Magic Johnson.
Speaker 4: Yes, and so year I was born, Magic Johnson won
Speaker 4: his first championship with the Lakers. So you know, forever,
Speaker 4: I'm going to be a Laker fan. But like, my
Speaker 4: heart is always with the Warriors, So I root for
Speaker 4: the Warriors.
Speaker 2: It's funny because I'm an LA kid too, and I
Speaker 2: hate the Lakers burning Path and I really really cool
Speaker 2: why you know, Okay, absolutely, I mean I guess Lakers
Speaker 2: do have Lebron, but like, come on, you want to root.
Speaker 3: For the war Yes, you definitely do the other team
Speaker 3: to root for.
Speaker 1: They are So I.
Speaker 2: Don't know if you know, but I am fourteen years
Speaker 2: old and I'm going into my freshman year of high school.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to take you back. You're Baron Davis.
Speaker 2: Everyone knows famous Baron Davis. But when you were fourteen,
Speaker 2: when you were going into ninth grade, who were you?
Speaker 1: What were you like?
Speaker 3: I was five feet tall?
Speaker 1: Seriously, yeah, my god, yeah.
Speaker 3: Five No, it was five two, okay, and I was.
Speaker 4: Like one hundred and twenty pounds or something like that,
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty five pounds, And I don't know.
Speaker 4: I was just I was happy, you know, I was
Speaker 4: happy to like be in high school. But I was
Speaker 4: probably like in that Crossroads, I was like the smallest kid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, in ninth grade.
Speaker 4: I was so happy to get to high school because
Speaker 4: I played you know, basketball and Crossroads in eighth grade,
Speaker 4: but I always wanted to play like against better competition.
Speaker 4: So it was like my first time having an opportunity
Speaker 4: to feel like, you know, I was a real teenager.
Speaker 3: But I didn't really do much. You know.
Speaker 4: It wasn't like I had an exciting life. I was
Speaker 4: just so focused on basketball.
Speaker 3: That was it. That was really it.
Speaker 4: I remember playing against Brentwood at homecoming and the jersey
Speaker 4: was too big.
Speaker 1: No, no, they didn't.
Speaker 4: No, we cracked and we could kill them. And they
Speaker 4: were yelling diapers, diapers every time I tested the ball
Speaker 4: because my shorts were so big that they thought that
Speaker 4: I had put a diaper on to keep my shorts up.
Speaker 4: So yeah, so you know, classic Brentwood. That was fun
Speaker 4: and just I think being in ninth grade and being
Speaker 4: in high school for the first time, it was like
Speaker 4: you got a chance to like see what the older
Speaker 4: kids were doing. So I was like always trying to
Speaker 4: like hang with the older kids on campus.
Speaker 1: So if you were five too, did you think you
Speaker 1: can make it to the NBA.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: I never paid attention to my height, you know, like
Speaker 4: I was super insecure. I would go in the backyard
Speaker 4: and hang on the clothes line, so there was like
Speaker 4: these clothes poles, so I would hang on the clothes line.
Speaker 4: That's the year I start drinking milk. But I was
Speaker 4: really eating cereal because I hated milk.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I was just kind of like confident, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean. But at the same time, I was so small.
Speaker 4: I was just trying to like trying to have some
Speaker 4: you know, trying to have some space and like follow
Speaker 4: other people.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Now, I think I have to start drinking milk. I
Speaker 2: need to get a little bit taller. I'm still serial.
Speaker 2: You know, one day I'm gonna dunk because I'm gonna
Speaker 2: drink all that all that milk. So, you know, like
Speaker 2: currently there's the eybl tournaments going on, and I think
Speaker 2: it's interesting because all these players who have the potential
Speaker 2: to go to the NBA, they all know each other.
Speaker 2: All these five stars, they play against each other all
Speaker 2: the time. When you were like fourteen, fifteen sixteen, was
Speaker 2: there a player that now we all know the name
Speaker 2: of that you played against when you were younger that
Speaker 2: it's like a fun matchup to think about now.
Speaker 4: I played against Earl Watson when he was in seventh grade.
Speaker 4: I played against Dion Glover when he was in sixth grade.
Speaker 4: One Dion Glover beat our team in the championship. Earl
Speaker 4: Watson beat our team. They beat us too.
Speaker 3: Who else? Tayshaun Prince.
Speaker 4: We were actually on the same AAU team, you know,
Speaker 4: like here in LA when I was growing up as
Speaker 4: a kid. It was like the first time that I
Speaker 4: would saying, like AAU basketball was starting to like form
Speaker 4: with travel. We didn't have all the resources, but we
Speaker 4: would all kind of travel together. Gilbert Arenas played on
Speaker 4: our AAU team, Like we had a lot of Gilbert
Speaker 4: James Harden played on our AAU team, So it was
Speaker 4: just it was almost like this brotherhood. Yeah, and you
Speaker 4: know as I as, I was like the older one,
Speaker 4: you know, we started all the way from seven years old.
Speaker 4: So it was like this cool little like community of
Speaker 4: folks that you know, we always played against and played
Speaker 4: with or travel you know. But he only went to
Speaker 4: like Vegas and then like, uh, where is it Galata Galita.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it's cool to see, like, you know, Bradley
Speaker 2: Beal with Jason Tatum in the way that like they
Speaker 2: came from similar backgrounds in like the same city, and
Speaker 2: I think that they played on similar teams and how
Speaker 2: then you know, when Bradley Bill was like seeing that
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum was like gonna make it, then you know
Speaker 2: he becomes.
Speaker 1: Like a role model for him. I think that's cool
Speaker 1: looking at those pictures.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen them, but it's like
Speaker 2: an edit of this AAU team, and I think there's
Speaker 2: like twelve kids on it. All of them made it
Speaker 2: to the NBA. Yeah, it's just crazy seeing all of
Speaker 2: them there together. So that's cool to hear that you
Speaker 2: would like a similar experience.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so great.
Speaker 4: Like basketball has such a such a great brotherhood and
Speaker 4: sisterhood and family like orientation and like the whole part
Speaker 4: of like everybody says basketball community is like we're a community,
Speaker 4: and so it's like it's like a pay it forward
Speaker 4: and like you really love these people, you know that
Speaker 4: you look up to and you like watch, you know,
Speaker 4: make it. So I think it's just this undying love
Speaker 4: and appreciation of people's skills and you know, their path
Speaker 4: that makes our community so close that.
Speaker 1: Speaking of making it, what was your welcome to the
Speaker 1: league moment?
Speaker 3: My welcome to the league moment? John Stockton.
Speaker 4: So we're playing Utah I come off the bench and
Speaker 4: I'm like, I get to play.
Speaker 3: Against John Stock.
Speaker 1: This is your rookie year, Charlotte Rooki Year.
Speaker 3: Like I'm like, I'm and pressed.
Speaker 4: I'm like looking at him, like I thought he was
Speaker 4: taller than this, you know, I thought he was bigger
Speaker 4: than this.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at Carl Malone like, oh he's pretty. He's huge.
Speaker 4: And so the game is going. Our point guard is
Speaker 4: you know, Stocking is just working them over, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: what is he?
Speaker 3: What is he letting this do?
Speaker 4: Work him over? I get in the game, I check
Speaker 4: in the game. They shoot a free throw, I go
Speaker 4: to take They go to take the ball out. I
Speaker 4: try to grab the ball. I turn around, he steals it.
Speaker 3: If they score, I get the ball back. I throw
Speaker 3: the ball in the get it down corner, throw it
Speaker 3: in the post.
Speaker 4: I cut through the big man takes one druggle spits,
Speaker 4: he steals the ball.
Speaker 3: And then the next play he like took me off
Speaker 3: a pick.
Speaker 4: Then he like elbowed me in my like in my
Speaker 4: neck and pushed me in the Carl Malone.
Speaker 3: So I was like, Dune, this is not this is
Speaker 3: not a nice guy. I'm hot, you know, I'm hot.
Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, I'm about to take it to him.
Speaker 4: So I get the ball, get the steal, and I'm
Speaker 4: going and I don't see him anywhere. And as soon
Speaker 4: as I turn, turn around and throw them all in
Speaker 4: front of me, friends in front were not small bounds
Speaker 4: and the coach takes me the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was it. I don't think I even went back.
Speaker 3: And you know you.
Speaker 1: Did lead the NBA twice in steals, so you were like.
Speaker 4: Okay, well you have to learn from the grades.
Speaker 2: Now we've heard about you in like middle school and
Speaker 2: high school. But here's my question. I want to know
Speaker 2: you were part of the We Believe Warriors. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you saw, but these last Warriors people were
Speaker 2: saying this was like, do We Believe Warriors Part two?
Speaker 2: If you had your starting lineup and then you had
Speaker 2: Steph Clay Dre loon In Wiggs, who's winning. Oh for sure,
Speaker 2: I'm going to take my Warriors because we did. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, you guys beat Dirk, but we beat Luca
Speaker 2: and then we got a ring.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got ring.
Speaker 4: I mean you know, I would never bet against myself
Speaker 4: on a basketball court, or Steven Jackson or Monte Ellis.
Speaker 3: I mean we you know we can.
Speaker 4: I definitely feel like, you know, our team would be
Speaker 4: able to get up and down, you know, score with them.
Speaker 4: And we actually like play.
Speaker 3: Defense, not saying it like I'm talking about our era.
Speaker 1: I will defend my boys over everything.
Speaker 4: We play defense. Joy Mind is a great defender. The
Speaker 4: Warriors a great defensive team. I'm saying, like on our team,
Speaker 4: like they didn't think that we played defense. O.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we.
Speaker 4: Started like like not that we started, but we were
Speaker 4: the first kind of team outside of Phoenix that would
Speaker 4: play up and down, shoot a lot of threes, and
Speaker 4: they never thought we played defense. But similar to the Warriors,
Speaker 4: it's like you have this defensive mentality. But if we
Speaker 4: were to play that game, I would put Monte Lis
Speaker 4: on Steph Curry.
Speaker 3: I would put me on Clay.
Speaker 1: You think you block them up? I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: if it's game six, Clay, no one can stop. Maybe
Speaker 1: any of the maybe.
Speaker 4: Maybe Clay is tough to stop. You got to get
Speaker 4: around a lot of picks. Steve Vin Jackson with guard
Speaker 4: probably Wiggins, Okay, Matt Barnes or Al Harrington with guard Draymond.
Speaker 4: Draymond can't guard Al Harrington. I've never seen anybody guard.
Speaker 1: Drake can guard anywhere.
Speaker 3: I feel like I've never seen anything.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll for it.
Speaker 4: Then, well that would be an interesting matchup. And then
Speaker 4: Looney and Beatrice. I think they would both just they
Speaker 4: were both like hustle guys. Yeah, you know, would cancel
Speaker 4: each other out. But you know that this team was
Speaker 4: very similar to like our team as far as like
Speaker 4: they just play with so much joy together with tinacity
Speaker 4: and you know, you got a top five player of
Speaker 4: all time and Steph Curry.
Speaker 1: I like top five.
Speaker 3: It's tough, you know, it's tough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Lone is so underrated, and I think
Speaker 2: he's such a fun player to watch. You know, last
Speaker 2: season and this season he has not missed a game.
Speaker 2: He just plays through everything. I think it was something
Speaker 2: like since January he led the league in offensive rebounds.
Speaker 2: He's just I just think he's so fun to watch
Speaker 2: because it's someone who watches the Warriors so intently. It's
Speaker 2: cool to see like everyone's all like Steph dre Clay,
Speaker 2: but and Andrew of course, but like he actually is
Speaker 2: so important to their success, which I think is fun
Speaker 2: to watch because he's like an underdog.
Speaker 3: And it's true.
Speaker 1: Was he well he's number five? No, he was five on.
Speaker 3: Okay, and he has my number two for the Warriors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys connect, I think.
Speaker 1: Okay, what was the most memorable play of your career?
Speaker 2: Well, actually, I think we all probably know the answer
Speaker 2: to that, but I want to hear your answer.
Speaker 4: I would say the most memorable play in my career
Speaker 4: is uh, I have credit for making the longest shot
Speaker 4: in NBA history.
Speaker 1: You do what happened?
Speaker 4: It was we were playing Milwaukee. It was like, I think,
Speaker 4: like one second on the clock. They were shooting a
Speaker 4: free throw, and I was telling Eddie Robinson, like, Yo,
Speaker 4: take the ball out, dude, just take the ball out.
Speaker 3: Throw it to me. I swear to god, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: make it, dude. I feel it.
Speaker 4: And he's like he's like going as he's lined up
Speaker 4: across and he's like, dude, like all right, I'm like, dude, no, no,
Speaker 4: take the ball out because if you don't take it out.
Speaker 4: I think it was mash or somebody. They're gonna take
Speaker 4: it out and they don't care who to.
Speaker 3: Throw it to. So we're like going back and forth,
Speaker 3: and he was like, I got you, I got you.
Speaker 4: The ball goes in and he takes off down the
Speaker 4: court and I'm like, I'm so upset, so I run
Speaker 4: to the baseline. I forgot who threw me the ball.
Speaker 4: I catch the ball and I throw it and it
Speaker 4: goes in and you can see him like holding his
Speaker 4: hands up at the opposite end of the fit of
Speaker 4: the on the basket. It was in Milwaukee, Oh okay,
Speaker 4: And it was like one of those shots like, oh,
Speaker 4: like you know, the momentum had changed, Milwaukee is just
Speaker 4: his some free throws.
Speaker 3: The air was dead, and I just like flung it
Speaker 3: and I was like, see, I told you I was
Speaker 3: gonna make it. I told you I was gonna make it.
Speaker 4: So it was like the shot that I called before
Speaker 4: I show make it in or did you know I switched?
Speaker 1: That's nice. You should have been like you guys were
Speaker 1: playing a game of horse or something. No one would
Speaker 1: beat you in that.
Speaker 4: And then I would say, carolinco is probably like the
Speaker 4: one that people will remind me of, so I have
Speaker 4: to I have to say that that is, you know,
Speaker 4: one of.
Speaker 3: The more livable, you know moments in my career.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like Jordan Poole has had a few
Speaker 2: shots like that this past season where like he just
Speaker 2: chucked it up and I'm like.
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 2: And then it goes in like I was at Game
Speaker 2: five of the Finals, and I remember it was funny
Speaker 2: because I don't even know what was happening, but I'm
Speaker 2: still like, I love Jordan, but I'm.
Speaker 1: Still like, give it to Steph. Give me Steph is Steph.
Speaker 2: And I think it was like going into the from
Speaker 2: the third to the fourth and Jordan just sort of
Speaker 2: took it and he just sort of like chucked it
Speaker 2: and of course he like baked.
Speaker 1: It and I'm like, what are you doing? Like every
Speaker 1: time you're like, do not do that? And then it
Speaker 1: goes and you're like come on.
Speaker 4: I mean, I love guys like that who are like,
Speaker 4: you know, it's like reliable wild cards, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean. It's just like you know what you're gonna get,
Speaker 4: but you could get forty, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: He's so capable of like doing incredible things.
Speaker 1: He has so much potential.
Speaker 2: I just I hope that what we saw this season stays,
Speaker 2: Like I really really hope that he just continues to
Speaker 2: grow because he's really I mean, I think you can
Speaker 2: see it at Michigan. We saw this season, especially when
Speaker 2: Steph was hurt in those last few weeks, he was
Speaker 2: really so especially in the Denver series too, he was crazy.
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna have a big year because you know,
Speaker 4: there's still like the sixth Man Award, there's still the
Speaker 4: most improved player. There's still like, yeah, there's still like
Speaker 4: room for him to grow to be that guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What do you think about Jaw getting Most Improved Player?
Speaker 1: I think I.
Speaker 4: Did not Like I didn't either, because I don't like
Speaker 4: he's already a superstar, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: He was drafted second game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like Most Improved Players an award that's
Speaker 2: supposed to be given to someone who goes from being
Speaker 2: like Jordan Poole in the G League to being like
Speaker 2: a huge player. Jaw has the normal progression of an
Speaker 2: NBA superstar.
Speaker 1: He was rookie in the year.
Speaker 2: He's just getting better, but he's getting better like he's
Speaker 2: supposed to. Jordan was one of the last picks in
Speaker 2: the first round, and now you know, he's averaged like
Speaker 2: twenty eight points all something like that all five games
Speaker 2: of the Denver series.
Speaker 1: So okay, this is for sure my.
Speaker 4: Favorite you should like work for the NBA. You should
Speaker 4: tell the NBA that.
Speaker 2: Okay, NBA, if you guys are listening, So Baron David says,
Speaker 2: I'm knowledgeable.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, the Most Improved Player award cannot go to
Speaker 4: a super ries.
Speaker 1: You know what I think should happen. I think I
Speaker 1: should just choose all the awards because you know.
Speaker 2: If I did, I'd be like, Okay, Kaminga and Moses Moody,
Speaker 2: they are tied for rookieson definitely, Draylon is definitely Defensive
Speaker 2: Player of the Year. Steph MVP all the time. STEP's
Speaker 2: unanimous every year, not just once every single time for sure. Okay,
Speaker 2: this is my favorite sentiment. So you know Kelly red Jr.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's pretty hot.
Speaker 3: Let's just be honest.
Speaker 4: He's like a very devon air and charismatic and fashionable guy.
Speaker 1: That's your way of saying it's saying it.
Speaker 3: That's just like you say, he's a brand, Yes.
Speaker 1: Tsunami poppy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Steven and Smith is known for his hot takes,
Speaker 2: but I don't think you've ever seen takes hotter than
Speaker 2: Kelly Ubray Junior until now.
Speaker 1: Because Baron Davis, we are about to get really hot,
Speaker 1: devilishly handsome. These takes are going to be I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: Like Kelly Bray, of course, you know, these takes are
Speaker 2: just gonna have beautiful green eyes.
Speaker 1: And be good.
Speaker 2: Okay, which NBA player is the best dress? We're doing
Speaker 2: current currently? Uh?
Speaker 1: Kelly, good answer answer? I like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Kelly, Ray can't be the answer for all because
Speaker 2: you know you were if this was if the roles
Speaker 2: were reversed and you were asking these questions, I'd be like, Kelly,
Speaker 2: you're right, Kelly, Kelly, you read Kelly. If you're watching this,
Speaker 2: perfect everything now. Okay, who is the best shoe game?
Speaker 3: PJ? Tucker?
Speaker 1: That's the answer everyone knows. When people give a different answer,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're wrong. He has a house for his shoes.
Speaker 3: He's the bomb.
Speaker 1: Agreed, Okay, who is the funniest NBA player?
Speaker 3: I like Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 4: I think he has like like he has a great
Speaker 4: and funny and natural personality.
Speaker 3: I think that he.
Speaker 4: Could potentially be a superstar like as far as like
Speaker 4: other stuff.
Speaker 1: Did you watch him in Hustle? Yeah, he was actually
Speaker 1: a good actors act.
Speaker 2: At the Hustle premiere, there was this video and they
Speaker 2: asked him his all time starting five, and like before
Speaker 2: even saying Jordan, Lebron or anything, he just goes me,
Speaker 2: that's a good answer. Who is your favorite current NBA player?
Speaker 3: My favorite current NBA player would have to be uh,
Speaker 3: Steph Curry me too, That's.
Speaker 1: A good one.
Speaker 3: That's an easy one.
Speaker 1: Actually, I might have to say want is gone Anderson.
Speaker 3: I love him, that guy.
Speaker 2: I was a Sleepway camp and my dad wrote me
Speaker 2: a letter that JTA was traded to the Lakers. First
Speaker 2: I cried, Then I realized the bright side of it
Speaker 2: that he lives in LA and I live in l A.
Speaker 2: And we could run into each other like any and
Speaker 2: then we could become best friends. And then we could
Speaker 2: get like matching best friend necklace. Yes, for sure, best friends.
Speaker 1: Okay, which current NBA player could run for president and win?
Speaker 3: I would say Lebron James. I will vote for him.
Speaker 1: I guess me too.
Speaker 2: The only thing is so many people hate him that
Speaker 2: I think that they would vote against him, like I
Speaker 2: think you.
Speaker 1: I think Bobon.
Speaker 2: I know he's not an American citizen, but for me,
Speaker 2: it's just like everyone loves Bobon.
Speaker 3: I will vote too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, But the only thing you have to be
Speaker 2: born in the YEA.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe you know, maybe we can figure it, you
Speaker 1: know what, Boban, maybe.
Speaker 4: We can just make up the city and you know, yeah,
Speaker 4: like close to Reno he was born.
Speaker 1: And sure, let's go with that. I like that idea.
Speaker 2: Like that Bobon, Yeah, Bobon from team wise or country wise?
Speaker 3: What kind of what city? Remember he lives here in
Speaker 3: the United States.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're presenting, Oh, Bobon, the American citizen from Los
Speaker 2: Angeles should run for president. So you're saying, okay, great, great,
Speaker 2: Now which NBA player is the best singer or rapper?

Speaker 3: his music. His music is done listen.
Speaker 1: I have to take a listen.
Speaker 3: I haven't Dennis Smith Junior. He raps too. He's pretty dope.

Speaker 4: what makes them different? And there will never be another
Speaker 4: person like that?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: So they some people are so special, but it's like
Speaker 2: there's people that resemble them, like you. And even when,
Speaker 2: like with the Tray Steph comparisons, I don't like those
Speaker 2: because Trey's trying to be Steph.
Speaker 1: I think, and I.
Speaker 3: Think, I mean one is one of one.
Speaker 4: Like it's hard, it's hard, it's hard to where.
Speaker 3: Are you going to find that tree? That's true?
Speaker 1: I mean and he don't play like he doesn't. But
Speaker 1: I but I think the comparisons aren't.
Speaker 2: It doesn't. They're not the same Steph is. He's the
Speaker 2: original they created.
Speaker 4: They're different, they're different styles, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I would say, because uh, you know Trey, Trey does shoes, shoes,
Speaker 4: the DP three, things like that. He can do all that.
Speaker 4: But I think when you scrappier than yeah, when you
Speaker 4: look at Trey and shout out to Sean Phillips, he
Speaker 4: explained this to me. It was like, Trey Young is
Speaker 4: a four level just like Steph. He's a four.
Speaker 3: Level score and so it's like he can shoot deep
Speaker 3: the three mid rains dry, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And so like for a guy that little to have
Speaker 4: that much game is Yeah, I mean, you gotta credit
Speaker 4: Steph Curry, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But I definitely feel like.
Speaker 2: I mean, Trey wouldn't do what he does now without Steph.
Speaker 2: No one would, No one would shoot those threes without
Speaker 2: I love Steph.
Speaker 1: I just give him credit for every day.
Speaker 3: No, you have to.
Speaker 4: You definitely have to give Steph all the credit for
Speaker 4: pioneering a new stylish basketball for sure.
Speaker 2: I saw some graphic that Steph's first season, there was
Speaker 2: fifteen thousand threes that season.
Speaker 1: This last season there.
Speaker 2: Was thirty thousand, and I feel like that just shows
Speaker 2: the impact he's had absolutely yet. Speaking of short players,
Speaker 2: this next segment is one I like to call Muggsy
Speaker 2: or Manute.
Speaker 1: You know, the two of them were on the Bullets together.
Speaker 2: Muggsy Bogues one of the shortest players ever, Manoupole the
Speaker 2: tallest player ever. Right, So basically, these are two things different,
Speaker 2: and I want to hear your opinion. Let's go fast
Speaker 2: Instagram or TikTok uhtok good answer, Okay, Out on the
Speaker 2: Town or Netflix and chill uh.
Speaker 1: Town, me too, m j R. Brown, Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make you.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I don't do.
Speaker 1: Zion or jaw uh uh. You don't want to compare anyone.
Speaker 4: I love them, but you still I use them on
Speaker 4: the video games both, okay.
Speaker 2: Well New York or La La obviously, yeah, so much better.
Speaker 2: Rinaldo or messy messy interesting?
Speaker 3: Okay? What are you? What is your choice?
Speaker 1: I'd probably go messy too. I just was saying that
Speaker 1: more just like, actually is dope. He's insane.
Speaker 3: It's so dope. It's like, but I like how MESSI
Speaker 3: reminds me of like a Kyrie or a Steph you
Speaker 3: know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, messy. I feel like Naymar is very similar to
Speaker 1: Steth in their ways.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's like a popular one. I don't
Speaker 2: think I made that up, but I'll give myself credit.
Speaker 2: It's okay, okay. So a little bit of background. So
Speaker 2: Baron went to high school at Crossroads and Crossroads biggest
Speaker 2: rival in the whole world is Brentwood School, and I
Speaker 2: go to Brentwood School.
Speaker 1: So Brentwood a Crossroads.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean, of course, cross You know we
Speaker 4: had Yeah, I mean we don't hate.

Speaker 4: so you never really get out of Brentwood.
