Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Draymond Green Show with my brother
Speaker 1: Baron Davis. How you feeling, my dog? What's something, my bro?
Speaker 1: I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. How you feeling? Most importantly,
Speaker 1: I feel great, brother, I feel amazing, happy to be
Speaker 1: out of Miami and onto the next city. Hell out
Speaker 1: of Miami. But other than that, I feel space. Tackler man. Good, good, good.

Speaker 1: You don't want to miss all the exciting news. All right,
Speaker 1: dub Nation, what's happening? Jimmy's return to Miami didn't go
Speaker 1: It's playing as we saw, But it seemed like the
Speaker 1: environment in Miami wasn't you. I mean, I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: it wasn't so tough, but you know, you just never
Speaker 1: know going home. What was the biggest takeaway from from
Speaker 1: that heat game? Because I know it was a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure for him and just a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: for y'all to want to win that game, and just
Speaker 1: the way they've been playing, it wouldn't seem the environment
Speaker 1: wouldn't seem tough. But I want you to describe what
Speaker 1: it was like. The atmosphere was actually cool. It was
Speaker 1: actually one of the best atmospheres I've ever seen out
Speaker 1: of Miami game. You know, usually when you're playing Miami
Speaker 1: that started the game, the stands are halffield. Start in
Speaker 1: the whole third quarter, the stands are halffield. You know,
Speaker 1: people come back in the fourth quarter when the club's
Speaker 1: closing the arena. That's usually how the Miami games are
Speaker 1: in their seats. For this game, which I found very
Speaker 1: interesting to me, it sounded like their crowd was a
Speaker 1: little confused. It sounded like they felt like they were
Speaker 1: supposed to be booing Jimmy, but he got so much love.
Speaker 1: There's so much love there and so it wasn't quite
Speaker 1: the amount of booze that you thought, you know, with
Speaker 1: with how the whole situation played out, that there would be.
Speaker 1: But quite honestly, I don't think there should have been
Speaker 1: a million booze because at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: Jimmy has had an opportunity to leave in free agency
Speaker 1: or go into free agency, and he decided to sign
Speaker 1: an extension and stay with the team. Every year, people
Speaker 1: continued to ask, they're gonna bringing Damian Lillard, They're going
Speaker 1: to bring in Giannis on to the Kompo, They're going
Speaker 1: to bring in this person. They're going to bring in
Speaker 1: that person to double down and help Jimmy take this
Speaker 1: team to a championship that never happened. And so at
Speaker 1: a certain point, Jimmy's in year fourteen, He's given them
Speaker 1: seven years of his career. At a certain point, you
Speaker 1: just got to appreciate what somebody's given and just like
Speaker 1: they move on and it is what it is, and
Speaker 1: saying that people aren't always rational, and it is what
Speaker 1: it is. But I do think the environment was cool.
Speaker 1: It wasn't one of the toughest environments. But what did
Speaker 1: not help is that they were they like they turned
Speaker 1: into a bunch of Steph Curries out there, Like they
Speaker 1: shot eighteen for twenty five from three beat that's unheard of. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's crazy, that's crazy numbers. And then you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm watching the game and I'm like, damn, dude, you
Speaker 1: miss wig right, you know, talk about how weird or
Speaker 1: just like playing against wigs, we you know, he played good,
Speaker 1: he made time. He shot the same thing as we
Speaker 1: know him for with dumb Nation, you know, speak to that.
Speaker 1: It was weird. You know, you're going to war with
Speaker 1: the god for the last what five years, and one
Speaker 1: championship built the relationship. My kids cry when they found
Speaker 1: out Wiggs was gone because his kids and my kids
Speaker 1: have a great relationship, and they cried when they found
Speaker 1: out he was going. I told Wiggs, I was like, man,
Speaker 1: So I saw him obviously right after trade that line
Speaker 1: on all side right, and I was like, Wiggs, Man,
Speaker 1: my kids was crying when they found out that your
Speaker 1: girls were gone. He was like, brother, That's the only
Speaker 1: thing I might kept saying. It's like, wait, so I
Speaker 1: don't get to see my friends anymore, and so there's
Speaker 1: just so much more than just basketball there. So to
Speaker 1: see a brother, your brother on the other side, it
Speaker 1: was definitely weird. Obviously, I'm pissed off we lost the
Speaker 1: game we needed to win and wanted to win. But
Speaker 1: I'm also happy to see Wags play well because again
Speaker 1: that the love just there. It's bigger than just a game,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I'm happy to see him
Speaker 1: playing well, starting to find his foot of because I
Speaker 1: think he got so much of his career left ahead
Speaker 1: of him. To see him starting to find his footing,
Speaker 1: finding his rhythm down in that system, I think, I
Speaker 1: think it's great. So I was happy to see him
Speaker 1: play well, although it resulted in us in a loss,
Speaker 1: but you'd hate to see him struggle. Yeah, it just
Speaker 1: felt weird, you know, seeing him do that for them
Speaker 1: and knowing that you know, all them shots and all
Speaker 1: the players he making was timely and then man, I
Speaker 1: need a steph curry up day, like what's the what's
Speaker 1: the word on the chef? He practiced today, full practice.
Speaker 1: We actually got up and down, we played a little bit.
Speaker 1: So he did that, which was great to see. Hit
Speaker 1: a couple of threes right out the gate. That was
Speaker 1: beautiful to see. And then he got a full workout
Speaker 1: in after and at one point I watched him make
Speaker 1: like twenty seven in a row from from the right wing.
Speaker 1: So hopefully all signs is pointing to him playing in
Speaker 1: the New Orleans game. At least that's what we hope.
Speaker 1: There's been no official clearance given yet, but the hope
Speaker 1: is that he that he's you know, obviously you go
Speaker 1: through a full practice. You go through full workout the
Speaker 1: way he did. The most important thing now is about
Speaker 1: how you wake up feeling in the morning. And so
Speaker 1: we'll see how he wakes up feeling in the morning.
Speaker 1: But I think all signs will be pointing to him returning.
Speaker 1: And you know, we need it because these games we
Speaker 1: gotta lock in. Hopefully, like I said, he looked good
Speaker 1: and hopefully you know, he wake up in the morning
Speaker 1: on the right side of it, so we can get
Speaker 1: a cracker. I like opportunities like this, like you're coming off,
Speaker 1: you know, a tough loss in Miami, right the road
Speaker 1: trip ain't off to the right track, and then you
Speaker 1: get ah, you get a good practice, yes, sir, talk
Speaker 1: about that, like sometimes you just need to get a
Speaker 1: good practice in to be a little upset, to be
Speaker 1: mad about something, to realize like hey, let's get this
Speaker 1: thing back on track. Then to see Steph Curry in practice.
Speaker 1: I remember that happened for us and are we believe here?
Speaker 1: Like you know, we're we're on the road. We couldn't
Speaker 1: get a win, And I came back and practice the
Speaker 1: next day and it was just like the camaraderie, you know,
Speaker 1: like to be able to get up and down and
Speaker 1: be at fools, right, and how you're leader there. Talk
Speaker 1: about that a little bit, just the importance of practicing
Speaker 1: on the road, and then also talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: Steve kersays this all the time, this Pelican game is
Speaker 1: really important, and talk about the importance of the practice,
Speaker 1: and tell tell me about the importance of this next
Speaker 1: game against the Pelicans. The practice is really important because
Speaker 1: the reality is we haven't had any practice time. So
Speaker 1: you start to see slippers in the game. You know,
Speaker 1: teams are starting to guard us a certain way. Now
Speaker 1: that teams are adjusting to Jimmy being with us and
Speaker 1: there's more film, they're starting to guard us a certain way,
Speaker 1: and we need practice time to learn how to attack
Speaker 1: the way that they're guardless, you know. But without practice time,
Speaker 1: you're kind of just doing everything on the fly. So
Speaker 1: to have this practice town today it was huge. Also,
Speaker 1: like you said, coming off of you know, losing the
Speaker 1: first two on the roads, you kind of need to
Speaker 1: get back in the side le refocus, Uh, what what
Speaker 1: is it that we're trying to accomplish, And you know,
Speaker 1: hammer away at those things. And I think that's what
Speaker 1: we did. And so like you said to get up
Speaker 1: and down was good getting out of Miami and you know,
Speaker 1: just getting that good sweat and getting you know, finding
Speaker 1: that rhythm. I think that was good. So, you know,
Speaker 1: a much needed practice. And then also, like you said,
Speaker 1: with stuff coming back on the court, you just see
Speaker 1: a different juice and everybody, like you know, it perks
Speaker 1: everybody up because you know the possibilities, you know what
Speaker 1: lies ahead, and so I think you know, overall, just
Speaker 1: just having him back is it changes a lot. Obviously
Speaker 1: we know what it changes on the basketball court, but
Speaker 1: it changes the demeanor of everybody knowing that you know,
Speaker 1: these next few games we go into will be whole,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and not not missing stuff,
Speaker 1: or at least that's the hope. Like I said, so
Speaker 1: I come at a good time for us, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: off to all to best case would be to finish
Speaker 1: this road trip for in too, and if we're able
Speaker 1: to do that, it's a great road trip. This New
Speaker 1: Orleans game is so important because shit, man, we're right there,
Speaker 1: Like you know, the Clippers passed us to go set
Speaker 1: and take the sixth spot in the West, but we're
Speaker 1: right there. Obviously, Todd with the same amount of losses.
Speaker 1: They got a tough couple of tough games that they'll face,
Speaker 1: but we still face them, so we still control our
Speaker 1: own destiny. And that's why it's important, because you want
Speaker 1: to keep yourself in the position and where you control
Speaker 1: your own destiny. It's Publicans team. They win and beat
Speaker 1: Minnesota a week and a half ago, so in the
Speaker 1: game that they weren't expected to win, so we know
Speaker 1: they're always going to come out and play hard. They
Speaker 1: want to play spoiler. We just got to come out
Speaker 1: and play our brand and basketball, handle our business, not
Speaker 1: fuck around with the game, and make sure we take
Speaker 1: care of our business to start building that momentum back
Speaker 1: up and make sure we finish these last ten games throng.
Speaker 1: I like that. You know what else I like about
Speaker 1: the practice is practice fing like not having the ability
Speaker 1: to practice is you make a lot of mistakes in
Speaker 1: the game trying to do make counters right, and so practice,
Speaker 1: if you can get a few good practices in, you
Speaker 1: make all the mistakes thinking about the counters. You get
Speaker 1: to walk through the counters. You get to you know,
Speaker 1: you get to move through the counters. That's what Nelly
Speaker 1: was always good about, is like trying to get us
Speaker 1: to practice so we could work on counters because, like
Speaker 1: you said, like now that Jimmy is playing, y'all getting scouted,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a different it's a different warrior. Look.
Speaker 1: So you need that practice to go back and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: they playing they playing me this way, when they playing
Speaker 1: you that way? You know what are alternatives? And you know,
Speaker 1: it's always great to sharpen those tools when it.

Speaker 1: Learn that Gary Payton the second be out with a
Speaker 1: thumb injury. Talk about his impact and what needs to
Speaker 1: be replaced until he gets healthy. Well, I mean hopefully
Speaker 1: he's not out for that long, you know, hopefully he's
Speaker 1: only out for a couple of weeks, which will be ideal,
Speaker 1: you know, if we can get him back. Obviously, he's
Speaker 1: our best point of point of attack defender, and so
Speaker 1: you know that's always tough to replace. Moses has been
Speaker 1: stepping up in that aspect, being a great point of
Speaker 1: attack defender, so he'll have to step that up another level.
Speaker 1: But GP's impact on the game, it's not It's not
Speaker 1: just his point of attack defense. GP knows how to
Speaker 1: find increasing defenses. He's great at finishing around the rim. Uh,
Speaker 1: he plays the dunker spot really well. He is a
Speaker 1: lob threat for us, and so he has a huge impact.
Speaker 1: He's a great screener for Steph. Him and Steph has
Speaker 1: a great chemistry, you know, and so that that that
Speaker 1: definitely has a big impact on our team. It has
Speaker 1: a big impact on rotations. I think there's been so
Speaker 1: much chatter about JK and what he need to do
Speaker 1: and how you need to find his lane and this,
Speaker 1: that and the other. And what I would say with
Speaker 1: GP being out is, if I'm Jonathan Kmena, forget what
Speaker 1: everybody talking about, forget what everybody's saying. If I'm john
Speaker 1: to think Kminga right now, I'm saying GP, I want
Speaker 1: to guard the best guard when I come in the game,
Speaker 1: I want to be the point of attack defender. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hawk this guard. I'm gonna change the momentum of
Speaker 1: the game. I'm gonna embrace. Yes, I'm gonna embrace that
Speaker 1: because we know he can score, right, like we know
Speaker 1: what he's capable of on the offensive end. Imagine him
Speaker 1: embracing that role and saying, I'm guarding the best defender.
Speaker 1: I'm picking up full I'm gonna work myself to exhaustion
Speaker 1: because I'm anna defend so hard, like that's how you
Speaker 1: win championships. And so if I'm john to think Aminga,
Speaker 1: that's my mindset, and I think he's more than capable
Speaker 1: of being that and doing that, and if he does,
Speaker 1: godly changes everything I've been saying. If he can take
Speaker 1: you know, a piece of angriness, right, he needs to
Speaker 1: be angry on the defensive end, but also be able
Speaker 1: to be that that bridge between you and Jimmy. And
Speaker 1: from what from what I'm hearing from you is really
Speaker 1: he should be the connective tissue, the starting point, right,
Speaker 1: he should be the weak side block guy. He should be,
Speaker 1: you know, taking the challenge. And you know I've been
Speaker 1: saying this all years. Kaminga takes that next level when
Speaker 1: he decides that he wants to be defensive player of
Speaker 1: the Year, right, because he has the capabilities of doing that,
Speaker 1: he also has the offense to do that and his
Speaker 1: defense is going to be his best offense, and I
Speaker 1: think it just you'll open up the world, the world
Speaker 1: of events for him. But before moving on to upcoming games,
Speaker 1: speaking of Kaminga, it was a clip of him at
Speaker 1: Karris l Burt Cominga was talking trash to each other
Speaker 1: and then I hear you drop the line from the
Speaker 1: top rope. You've been trading seven times, Like why why
Speaker 1: why does Draymond Green you just hit them with the
Speaker 1: Coodie Girl number one. I didn't. I had no idea.
Speaker 1: The microphones caught my voice. I thought I was just
Speaker 1: suddenly after free throw line button. And then I got
Speaker 1: to my phone and they like, day while you killed
Speaker 1: him like that, And I'm like, what, Like my response
Speaker 1: to my boys like dang, y'all caught that. They was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the TV called it for sure. I was like, dangn
Speaker 1: my bad. And you know some of my boys in
Speaker 1: the group chat from Michigan State, They're like, fuck that
Speaker 1: he from the other side anyway, so wow, Yeah, a
Speaker 1: couple of my boys in the group chat also went
Speaker 1: to Michigan. So then this marks this Michigan Michigan State
Speaker 1: thing in our group chat. But actually I know charriage
Speaker 1: to one of my boys in the group. Had that
Speaker 1: went to Michigan. Karen's a good dude, man. You know.
Speaker 1: We bantered back and forth on the court. That's just
Speaker 1: what it is. That's what happens in the game. That's
Speaker 1: just fun and games, you know, were always gonna banter.
Speaker 1: But I will tell you the reason I jumped in.
Speaker 1: I was just checking into the game too, and I
Speaker 1: butted in because all I heard was like he looking
Speaker 1: at j KD like at the free throw line, and
Speaker 1: he was like, you was this close to being traded.
Speaker 1: That's what he said, Like, you was this close to
Speaker 1: being traded, and so that's all I heard. I didn't
Speaker 1: hear anything else that was saying. All I heard was
Speaker 1: you was this close to being traded, which was why
Speaker 1: my response was, Bro, you've been traded seven times? Like
Speaker 1: how you gonna talk to him about almost being traded
Speaker 1: and you'd have been traded seven times? So then trade
Speaker 1: and they picked it up. Trade go Ain, chilled, Dre.
Speaker 1: They just talking jump man shit, and then Carris goes
Speaker 1: he started talking about me being traded first. But I
Speaker 1: wasn't hearing none of that. At that point. I had
Speaker 1: already went off the top rope and it was what
Speaker 1: it was, is over it boom. But apparently JK must
Speaker 1: has said to him like something about you keep getting
Speaker 1: traded and so then he was disclosed to bit. But
Speaker 1: I ain't hear all that. All I heard was you
Speaker 1: was dis closed to be And the last thing you're
Speaker 1: gonna do to one of my guys is talk about
Speaker 1: them being this close to me. I can't I can't
Speaker 1: go with that. I can't go with that. But no,
Speaker 1: I got a lot of love for cars Man, good dude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: shout out to cars We got love for you, bro.
Speaker 1: I just like the now of the league. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of chippiness. You know, everybody talking smack to each
Speaker 1: other like it's real, real conversations, and like, you don't
Speaker 1: get a lot of that. Is getting back to this
Speaker 1: match of my cho Yeah, yeah, don't cross my TI.
Speaker 1: It has to And I like, I like what these
Speaker 1: young dudes is coming in because they're trying to claim
Speaker 1: their territory. They trying to establish themselves. And you got
Speaker 1: anytime you got the old with the new, it's gonna
Speaker 1: create some chippiness, right, It's gonna create more competitiveness, and
Speaker 1: these games have been great to watch because of that.
Speaker 1: For sure, real rivalry is gonna be built off of this.
Speaker 1: You know, people gonna have real vandettas versus teams and
Speaker 1: so this part of the season, somebody gonna get bumped,
Speaker 1: and so it creates a lot of opportunity for rivalries.
Speaker 1: And I say for the young dudes, like, man, keep
Speaker 1: talking ship to Dreymond. You know, keep talking, keep talking
Speaker 1: and ship you know, like, yeah, it keeps standing up
Speaker 1: to the old gis because it's just gonna build that
Speaker 1: competitive edge. The reason they should keep talking to me,
Speaker 1: you know why, because I talk to every old hell
Speaker 1: when I came in the league, I talked trying to
Speaker 1: hear none of that. I don't care what you did
Speaker 1: before I got here. Go talk to somebody else. You
Speaker 1: did that against me, because you ain't that against me.
Speaker 1: So I don't got no respect for that. Like that's
Speaker 1: the type of time I came in on. Soide respect.
Speaker 1: When guys come in that type of time and guys
Speaker 1: talking the way they talking you, right, that is how
Speaker 1: these different rivalries are going to be built, which is
Speaker 1: going to attack the problem when you start talking about viewership,
Speaker 1: because you need rivals when you're talking about viewership and
Speaker 1: all those things has kind of been torn down. So
Speaker 1: I'm excited as hell man that that that the league
Speaker 1: is kind of getting back to that shippiness. Referees are
Speaker 1: letting guys talking, not calling the double tech right away,
Speaker 1: like that's the stuff that people want to see. Nobody
Speaker 1: want to see somebody say something. Somebody say something boom
Speaker 1: double tech, Like nobody want to see robots plays in
Speaker 1: real life. Yeah, we need we need the referees to
Speaker 1: be chaperons. They need to be chaperons. That's that's what
Speaker 1: I say. You know, hey, too close, call a file
Speaker 1: every now and again. But let these young boys do
Speaker 1: their thing like they trying. They trying to climb up
Speaker 1: on the totem poone, and we need for that to happen.
Speaker 1: It's a pecking order in the league. It's a hierarchy
Speaker 1: in the league. These young dudes gotta see it, believe
Speaker 1: in and talk about it to themselves. Somebody gotta take
Speaker 1: this crown. Somebody gotta take the crowd. Can't be the king,
Speaker 1: go to parking lot. Somebody got to take the trash
Speaker 1: talk cra We got to now. But the young fellas
Speaker 1: leading the charge now Anthony Edwards, John Morett, them boys
Speaker 1: leading the chart. Shae, don't say a bunch but shake
Speaker 1: hit you with a bunch of Like he gets your
Speaker 1: bunch of he got like it's like like he gave
Speaker 1: you a bunch of expressions, a bunch of little subtle jobs.
Speaker 1: But like really in your face talking, follow be talking
Speaker 1: to people. He be letting them know, hollow do talk.
Speaker 1: These young boys starting to talk a little bit again.
Speaker 1: I like that. The Pelicans the next up, he played
Speaker 1: against Zion Williams. Earlier in the season. You talked about
Speaker 1: how tough it was, the difference in his game since
Speaker 1: they traded away brandon Ingram, and like, what's the philosophy
Speaker 1: going into a game like this playing against especially the
Speaker 1: way he's playing. He's playing great basketball. You know, he's
Speaker 1: looks like he's an incredible shape. He looks explosive. He
Speaker 1: looks as explosive as he did at Duke. That's a monster,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But he's so much more
Speaker 1: aggressive now since the trade, the line since he's been
Speaker 1: back in the lineup since the trade, he's so much
Speaker 1: more aggressive to get downhill and they're running a lot
Speaker 1: of things to get him downhill. He's really pressing the issue,
Speaker 1: putting a lot of pressure on the rim. So you know,
Speaker 1: you just like I always say, you gotta meet force
Speaker 1: with force. Zion is gonna always come very forceful, and
Speaker 1: in order to match him, you have to meet that
Speaker 1: forceful force. If you don't, you get ran over. And
Speaker 1: that's just what it is. And so he too fully
Speaker 1: plays tomorrow. I know he had been out the last
Speaker 1: few games since they played in Minnesota. You know, I
Speaker 1: love playing against guys like Zion because they like when
Speaker 1: you play against the guys, they bring the best out
Speaker 1: of you. You know what I'm saying. They bring you.
Speaker 1: You know, you got to bring your a game and
Speaker 1: they bring the best out of you. So I hope
Speaker 1: he plays tomorrow. You know, like I said, I always
Speaker 1: look forward to match up, especially against these younger guys too,
Speaker 1: because it allows you to see where you where you at,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like, you know, their legs
Speaker 1: a little different than yours these days, so it allows
Speaker 1: you to see like, all right, I'm here still. You know,
Speaker 1: you know, you always want to take on that want
Speaker 1: that tough challenge. I enjoyed a tough challenge, but he's
Speaker 1: been balling. Man, you gotta give him his credit. He
Speaker 1: in incredible shape. You know, shout out to Zion. A
Speaker 1: lot of people talked a lot of shit about Zion,
Speaker 1: and you know he doing the work and you know,
Speaker 1: got himself in great shape and playing great basketball. So
Speaker 1: shout out to him. Y'all face the Spurs after the
Speaker 1: Pelicans right now, Stefan Castle seems to be Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year front runner. Do you think he should win
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. I think he should. I think
Speaker 1: I spoke about him earlier this year on the five
Speaker 1: when after we played them, and I was just saying, like, yo,
Speaker 1: I think that kid is gonna be real. When I
Speaker 1: look at the rookie class, he's been the most consistent
Speaker 1: all year. He's been the most consistent player all year.
Speaker 1: I think everybody else has been up and down. He's
Speaker 1: been extremely consistent. There's no one in the rookie class
Speaker 1: that's done anything that jumps off the page. And so
Speaker 1: I think, you know, if there's no one that's done
Speaker 1: anything that jumps off the page, the next thing except
Speaker 1: Stephan Castle has had games that jump off the page, too,
Speaker 1: you know, sure, But I mean the whole body of
Speaker 1: work over the court. You know, like there's no rookie
Speaker 1: average in twenty points. There hasn't been a dominant rookie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you haven't seen that. Nonetheless, I think with his consistency,
Speaker 1: if you haven't had the dominance from someone, he has
Speaker 1: had some great games that jump off the page, but
Speaker 1: his consistency all year would make him the rookie of
Speaker 1: the year. And as I said before, I think you
Speaker 1: look back at this rookie out of the year, you
Speaker 1: give this Rookie of the Year to some other guys.
Speaker 1: Possibly you look back and be like, damn, he won
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. Stuff one castle. You're gonna look
Speaker 1: back in two years like, well he all Stars. So
Speaker 1: I guess we got it right. So he got that potential,
Speaker 1: he will reach that potential. We gotta get it right.
Speaker 1: That's the guy. He should be Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 1: One thousand percent. I think he should get it. He
Speaker 1: deserves it. Consistency, showed up at All Star Weekend, performed
Speaker 1: dunk contest, took the second half of the season, stepped
Speaker 1: his game up, shows that he's ready for the next level,
Speaker 1: right and he can do it at this level. At
Speaker 1: a consistent basis, and we haven't seen that from you
Speaker 1: know a lot of rookies, especially high draft pick rookies
Speaker 1: at all this season. And so there's been that you
Speaker 1: know that rookie Lowell or inconsistent. Man. This dude, he
Speaker 1: really building something. And I like his brand. I like
Speaker 1: the way he play. You know, no Fox, no winby right.
Speaker 1: You got Chris Paul, you got your og over there
Speaker 1: helping you out. So he's destined to be great. Look
Speaker 1: at the point guards that Chris Paul Mentor. They came
Speaker 1: into the league. People thought they'd be back up point guards.
Speaker 1: They ended up going to other places and started Eric Blesso,
Speaker 1: Darren Collison, Denim Schroeder. Like, these are all guards that
Speaker 1: CP at one point or another man Mentor, you know,
Speaker 1: and and all those guys take another step. Chris Campaign
Speaker 1: was out of the league. Chris Paul actually saved campaign career, like,
Speaker 1: taught him how to be a pro, taught him how
Speaker 1: to be a point guard. Like Chris Paul actually saved
Speaker 1: his career. And so now you take this level of
Speaker 1: talent six' six size and he get to learn From Chris.
Speaker 1: Paul scott's delimit for Steph Oncastle MAN i talked about
Speaker 1: the atmosphere In memphis is always. Wow what? Happened when
Speaker 1: did this? START i need the history to the beef With.
Speaker 1: Memphis anytime you beat the team in the, playoffs there's some.
Speaker 1: Beef and on the way to our first, championship they
Speaker 1: had Z, bo they Had Mark, gasaw they had ta
Speaker 1: they Had Mike. Connley we beat them in the playoffs
Speaker 1: and we came back from down to the one to
Speaker 1: win for the two and move on to win the.
Speaker 1: Championship beef, started but it wasn't really serious then because
Speaker 1: they're you, know Them mark Ta, ebo them Are OG's,
Speaker 1: like so it ain't gonna be no real beef with,
Speaker 1: them but it's, like you, know it's kind of this thing.
Speaker 1: Brewing you, know it's, like, man they got, us like
Speaker 1: it's a little hate streak coming from that fan. Base
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like that with those guys, because LIKE i,
Speaker 1: said They OG's, man and we got so much respect
Speaker 1: for them that it was never a. Thing then they
Speaker 1: started this younger. Group and when they started this younger,
Speaker 1: group they kind of start you, know talking a, lot
Speaker 1: and we play them in the playoffs. Again you, know
Speaker 1: they talking about they're gonna beat, us and, rightfully, so
Speaker 1: like you, Know, john all those guys coming, in like
Speaker 1: they watched us growing up winning, championships and so they
Speaker 1: come in on that type of. TIME i get it.
Speaker 1: AGAIN i came in on that type of, time SO
Speaker 1: i rock with. It they came in to playoffs Some villains,
Speaker 1: time they was really on some. Upset they wanted to.
Speaker 1: UPSET i think they were to Higher see that, year
Speaker 1: and you, know we went, in we took care of,
Speaker 1: business you, know and so that's kind of where it
Speaker 1: really took, off you. Know and then the one game
Speaker 1: they played with that, trick we dancing to. It they
Speaker 1: beating our, ass were still dancing with that, trick and
Speaker 1: so it's just kind of been things that elevated it
Speaker 1: more and more as these years have gone. On that,
Speaker 1: BEEF i don't call it a real beef because at
Speaker 1: the end of the, day in order for it to
Speaker 1: be a real beef that it's going to require two
Speaker 1: teams to. Win we beat them in the, playoffs they beat.
Speaker 1: Us so until that, happens it's, like, yeah it's always
Speaker 1: gonna be, competitive there's always gonna be a little bad.
Speaker 1: Blood but nil in the. Playoffs it means nothing regular
Speaker 1: season beef that. Part y'all win. Playoffs that's just what it.

Speaker 1: saw some of the things that STEPHEN a said over
Speaker 1: the last day or. SO i saw he put out
Speaker 1: an apology for Mentioning kobe and also kind of mis
Speaker 1: mentioned In. Kobe he issued an apology for. THAT i don't, know,
Speaker 1: MAN i don't really have many takes on, It like
Speaker 1: it kind of is what it. Is i'm kind of
Speaker 1: sick of seeing. IT i was a little baffled by
Speaker 1: Stephen a saying that he was with a swan on
Speaker 1: Brun after he just kind of questioned, me, saying when
Speaker 1: you talk like that Where i'm, from you get hands
Speaker 1: put on. You and he kind of did this whole
Speaker 1: thing of like trying to use my basketball career and
Speaker 1: things that have happened on the basketball court Because i'm
Speaker 1: actually really good at, basketball and made it to THE
Speaker 1: nba that he wants to try to use that to
Speaker 1: try to use it against me for my next. CAREER
Speaker 1: i saw him doing that and then to come out
Speaker 1: and do the very thing that you kind of tried
Speaker 1: to use against. ME i thought was a little, petty
Speaker 1: not only, petty but like, snarky, hoy but contradictory to
Speaker 1: what you just. Did you know What i'm, Saying, Like,
Speaker 1: yo you've had moments before you need to not say
Speaker 1: nothing about. Hands but then you, know you start talking
Speaker 1: about swinging on, someone you know What i'm. Saying so,
Speaker 1: UH i thought brons post, conflicted, conflicted conflicted and contradicting
Speaker 1: views on what you're really trying to. Say BUT i
Speaker 1: just remember the days when like media used to talk.
Speaker 1: Basketball it's so all over the place now. HERE i
Speaker 1: got the. Solution after the, season we build a boxing
Speaker 1: rink back here In sliviic. Studios whoever in the media
Speaker 1: want to catch, fame put on some. Gloves then we'll
Speaker 1: have A then we'll have the main Event lebron versus Steven,
Speaker 1: a and we won't even do real boxing. Gloves we'll
Speaker 1: get the big old boxing. GLOVES. A, yeah let them,
Speaker 1: sling let them get that frustration. Out Draymond green Versus
Speaker 1: jason with LIKE i don't know that door STEPHEN a
Speaker 1: Or Kendrick perkins Versus. Lebron, Oh Kendrick perkins Versus ka be,
Speaker 1: hard but everybody, beefing, bro everybody beefing for? What but
Speaker 1: it's crazy that why do all these people Own? Lebron?
Speaker 1: Right there's constant conversation About lebron on The pat McAfee. Show, uh,
Speaker 1: hey you know you must respect each, era, right that's
Speaker 1: the whole. Thing and they're saying you gotta respect each.
Speaker 1: Air we Know lebron is big. Media my question is
Speaker 1: you to you is what other era would you have enjoyed?
Speaker 1: Playing know what's crazy is people say you must respect each,
Speaker 1: era but the past eras don't respect this. ERA i
Speaker 1: don't think that's. True, shit me don't see some of
Speaker 1: the things these guys. Say, MAN i THINK i think
Speaker 1: really at the at the baseline of it. All and
Speaker 1: here's my problem with the whole. Ecosystem we don't do
Speaker 1: a good enough job of telling everybody's story and so
Speaker 1: the errors don't really get the appreciation because the media
Speaker 1: and capeleate the eerr into like one, team two, teams three.
Speaker 1: Teams the storyline when you look At michael like and
Speaker 1: here's the, thing you look At Michael. Jordan you look
Speaker 1: At Lebron. James there's so many dope players that played
Speaker 1: in the era Of Michael jordan that didn't win a.
Speaker 1: Championship there's a lot of dope players that you guys
Speaker 1: played against and have to go through through the playoffs
Speaker 1: that don't get. Mentioned only The warriors get, mentioned you,
Speaker 1: know and and and rightfully so champions get. Mentioned and
Speaker 1: SO i think the respect from the old is, really
Speaker 1: do the young dudes fuck with? Us do they know
Speaker 1: who we? Are BECAUSE i think for our era it
Speaker 1: was more so how can we be thrownback in? Nostalgic
Speaker 1: and so that's why you get a lot of hate
Speaker 1: from the older generation because they just want to be
Speaker 1: kept alive because they, alive, right why shouldn't they story
Speaker 1: be a part of this whole melting. Pot and it's
Speaker 1: not just we talking about the same, shit or if
Speaker 1: we're comparing, players like let's see somebody, highlights let's see somebody's,
Speaker 1: Stats let's have them talk about the players that they played.
Speaker 1: Against because one era always think that the other area
Speaker 1: is sorry until you leave the game and have an
Speaker 1: appreciation for the talent that you had to play against
Speaker 1: each and every. NIGHT i agree with what you're saying
Speaker 1: to a certain, extent BUT i disagree in the fact that,
Speaker 1: no like these these eras don't respect, us Like i've
Speaker 1: seen several guys talk over and over and over, again
Speaker 1: not in the. Positive like just a month and a half,
Speaker 1: Ago Oscar robertson SAID i do nothing on the Basketball,
Speaker 1: YEAH i got a chance to put on the same
Speaker 1: jacket he put, on but he said, unprompted LIKE i
Speaker 1: didn't say anything About Oscar, ROBINSON i didn't say anything
Speaker 1: about players from his. GENERATION i actually said something about
Speaker 1: players from our. Generation and he then took it up
Speaker 1: on himself to completely try to lessen who. As you
Speaker 1: don't have to like my, guy but to SAY i
Speaker 1: do nothing on the basketball, court like that's either disrespectful or,
Speaker 1: Dumb like it's one of the, Two like you're either
Speaker 1: being disrespectful or you're not, Smart so you, pick And
Speaker 1: i'm gonna say it's disrespect Because i'd like to believe he's.
Speaker 1: Smart and, so, YEAH i don't think that respect is
Speaker 1: passed down to us from the other. Generations BUT i
Speaker 1: think people are quick to, say, oh you gotta respect
Speaker 1: them because they came. Before, NAH i don't agree with.
Speaker 1: THAT i disagree with. That here's another, thing, Though, bed
Speaker 1: you absolutely raised me that. Way absolutely respect the people
Speaker 1: who came before. You my respect is, earned and what
Speaker 1: you did to somebody else don't necessarily earn you respect. Me,
Speaker 1: No i'm not saying From i'm just, saying like you,
Speaker 1: know from a player, perspective a power forward Before Jmon?
Speaker 1: Green was It Jymon green type of power? Forward? Right
Speaker 1: and even though you are a one of, one, like
Speaker 1: there is a claw or a shock or someone that
Speaker 1: you highly. Respect that's why we respect where we come
Speaker 1: from and how we got, there because if it wasn't
Speaker 1: it don't have to be all the dudes like BECAUSE
Speaker 1: i still be beefing with. PEOPLE i still don't like.
Speaker 1: PEOPLE i still think people are, sorry but that's my personal,
Speaker 1: right that's my personal. Opinion BUT i do have respect somewhat.
Speaker 1: Exactly you just can't tell me everybody respect there are
Speaker 1: there are everybody don't deserve. Respect just because you played before,
Speaker 1: me you don't deserve. Respect there are a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the club and can't everybody dance, FACTS, bd
Speaker 1: just because you played before me does not mean you deserve.
Speaker 1: Respect i'm, sorry But god had in his plan for
Speaker 1: you to be born before, me and you just deserve
Speaker 1: respect because of. That nah my mom may raised me that.
Speaker 1: Way respect is. Earned, obviously this conversation is stemming from
Speaker 1: bron saying That yannis will have two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: points in the. Seventies but here's my, thing, THOUGH, Bd
Speaker 1: the PROBLEM i have with it is this everybody attacked the.
Speaker 1: Statement what's your attacked? To? STATEMENT i don't think that he.
Speaker 1: WAS i Think giannis would have like seventeen points in the.
Speaker 1: SEVENTIES i think you? Tripping all? Right CAN i tell you?
Speaker 1: This CAN i give you this? Scenario? Yeah, sure a
Speaker 1: dude From, greece, right come, City United states in the
Speaker 1: seventies to play in THE nba where you don't make
Speaker 1: a lot of. Money times is. Hard you don't have a,
Speaker 1: Trainer you got, converts, right you got, converts and you
Speaker 1: may or may not have to have some type of
Speaker 1: side job because the league ain't really paying you enough
Speaker 1: to go back To greece and take care of your. Family,
Speaker 1: now who's gonna help you? Back? Then acclimate to The
Speaker 1: United states and THE. Nba now take all those factors
Speaker 1: with the converts or whatever they was the. Flats, hey
Speaker 1: you're gonna start with. Converts that's that's my. Family you
Speaker 1: KNOW i Love. Converse, No, Bro i'm Rock. Converse i'm
Speaker 1: just SAYING i Brought, yeah of COURSE i Brought Chuck.
Speaker 1: Taylor's but What i'm saying is playing In Chuck. Taylor's
Speaker 1: that was the luxury? Shoot? Right could you Playing Chuck. Taylor's,
Speaker 1: NO i. CAN'T i can't play in a lot of shoes,
Speaker 1: though so you can't plan. It so you can't plan
Speaker 1: in the, seventies, Bro all, right, now you can't turn
Speaker 1: him out now playing from the. Seventies right if he
Speaker 1: was In Sino man and he transported him now into THE,
Speaker 1: nba and he came out the ice with His Chuck
Speaker 1: taylor's on his, eyes shus, Eye, bro and he's six'
Speaker 1: nine forty five inn's vert can only dribble with his,
Speaker 1: right hand but, block everything, dunk everything and shoot. Bank,
Speaker 1: shots listen now he got. The trainer let me know what,
Speaker 1: You're Doing. Charles, barkley, okay, Okay, goddamn chuck we talk about.
Speaker 1: Media members you see what you've done in this generation the? Media,
Speaker 1: members chuck he won't even let. Me, TALK shock i feel.
Speaker 1: Your pain man won't even let me get a. Word
Speaker 1: out you know why he won't let me get a
Speaker 1: word because in order in order for him to Go
Speaker 1: against bronze Claim that jannis what, average too the, fifty
Speaker 1: points he had to make it about it being no
Speaker 1: facetimes in, the seventies no good shoes in, the seventies
Speaker 1: no good jobs in. The seventies he had to make it,
Speaker 1: about that as opposed to just making it, strictly basketball
Speaker 1: which is the statement that was. Being made the skills
Speaker 1: ain't Gonna translate my POINT that i was actually going
Speaker 1: to make. To you charms is that why do when
Speaker 1: people talk about basketball and bron say something like, he
Speaker 1: said people get all up in arms as if fifty
Speaker 1: five years of basketball play did. Not change the skill
Speaker 1: level did, not change the fitness level did, not change
Speaker 1: the understanding of the game did. Not change the nuances did.
Speaker 1: Not change the offenses run did not change how the.
Speaker 1: Defenses run fifty. Five years within the last fifty, five
Speaker 1: years all of those things. Have changed, nobody, said hey
Speaker 1: if You, take giannis put him back in, the seventies
Speaker 1: but you have to not make him a Seventies basketball
Speaker 1: that wasn't. The point the point was if You Take,
Speaker 1: giannis antetokoumpo who he, is today and he played in,
Speaker 1: the seventies he'd have two hundred and. Fifty points and
Speaker 1: so that's the PROBLEM that i Have is google got better. With,
Speaker 1: time Facebook my space. Went away facebook became this conglomerate
Speaker 1: because they Saw my. Space mistakes, it's like we're gonna,
Speaker 1: Add this we're gonna. Do that so everything gets better.
Speaker 1: With time but for, some reason for, some reason when we're,
Speaker 1: talking basketball it don't get better. With time and everything
Speaker 1: shouldn't be everything's equal to what it, was before and
Speaker 1: that's just not. The case and so you look at
Speaker 1: where players. Are today it's no disrespect to players of,
Speaker 1: the seventies but everything has. Changed everything we don't play
Speaker 1: the same game of basketball that they played in. The
Speaker 1: seventies there was no three, point line there was no defensive.
Speaker 1: Three seconds we don't play the same game of basketball that.
Speaker 1: They played so now you take these skills set up
Speaker 1: today and put them in, That era, i'm sorry it's
Speaker 1: gonna be hard for them players in. The, seventies okay
Speaker 1: let's TAKE a tv. Time out we got to answer
Speaker 1: these three questions that are going on in the media.
Speaker 1: Right Now It's paul george a First ballot Hall. Of
Speaker 1: Famer gilbert arenas says He. Is chandler parson says HE
Speaker 1: isn't i say one. Thousand Percent paul george got Like
Speaker 1: Nine all, Star appearances he GOT several. Nba appearances he
Speaker 1: has a gold medal somewhere close to twenty. Thousand points
Speaker 1: i'm sure if. Not more i'm not sure exactly how.
Speaker 1: Many got but if you look at some of the
Speaker 1: people that are In the Hall, Of Fame paul george
Speaker 1: had better careers. Than Them paul george is absolutely a
Speaker 1: First ballot Hall of famer with the body of work that.
Speaker 1: He asked are there some things you don't Like About.
Speaker 1: Paul george. Of course you can say he. Didn't win you, can,
Speaker 1: say oh he was a. Little soft you can say whatever.
Speaker 1: You want you can say whatever you want. To say
Speaker 1: they may, be valid. Maybe not didn't win. This, valet
Speaker 1: okay is? He Soft. That's european some people, will, say Yes.
Speaker 1: That's european don't. Really Matter paul george, resume says First
Speaker 1: valot Hall. Of fame if You Remove paul george's name from,
Speaker 1: his resume which then allows which then forces you to
Speaker 1: remove your Feelings About. Paul george and you put his
Speaker 1: resume there and remove, the feelings remove, the face remove.
Speaker 1: The name that's the First ballot Hall of fame resume
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand. Plus, points, hey man get him in the
Speaker 1: first flowers? All right Number Two james harden or d
Speaker 1: Waye Urt. Patrick beverly He picks harden Over d way because. Of,
Speaker 1: LONGEVITY man i played against both, of them and really
Speaker 1: both of them in. Their PRIME like i Played. D
Speaker 1: way i came into, the league they was winning Championships,
Speaker 1: in miami but then, saying, That man james so, fucking,
Speaker 1: Good bro he's. So good The reason i'm going to Pick,
Speaker 1: D way i'm gonna Pick d way a he, won
Speaker 1: championships and he won championship AS, finals mvp carrying the
Speaker 1: team in his. Third year i'm going To, pick yes
Speaker 1: he had, the diesel, of course and diesel change Every
Speaker 1: but i'm gonna Pick d way because of. That reason
Speaker 1: i'm gonna also Pick d WAY because i Think if
Speaker 1: harden stayed a, two guard his career isn't necessarily what it.
Speaker 1: Is today him changing over to the point guard. Changed,
Speaker 1: everything now don't get, me wrong he still would have
Speaker 1: Been An, all star he still would have been perennial
Speaker 1: all of. Those THINGS but i mean the Dominance That
Speaker 1: james harden had as a, POINT guard i don't think
Speaker 1: he would have had that same dominance as a. Two
Speaker 1: guard AND so i think right now what's being compared
Speaker 1: is the Idea That james harden is a two because
Speaker 1: you're comparing the, d way but he not. A Two
Speaker 1: james harden's best years IN the nba and majority of
Speaker 1: his years he's a, point guard AND so i don't
Speaker 1: really love. THE comparison i think Early in james career
Speaker 1: the comparison was there because he was the. Two ones
Speaker 1: he switched to the point he. Became one nobody, says
Speaker 1: it but he became one of the best point guards we've,
Speaker 1: ever seen and so INSANE that i just don't think
Speaker 1: the comparison. Is there and That's why i'm just gonna
Speaker 1: Pick d WADE because i didn't got to go with
Speaker 1: the body. OF Work, nba FINALS In, NBA finals mvp
Speaker 1: probably the same Amount Of all Stars, as james probably
Speaker 1: the same amount of all NBA's. As james obviously doesn't
Speaker 1: Have what james won, two, MVPs, right yeah something. LIKE that,
Speaker 1: I mean i mean they measures, them, one two whatever
Speaker 1: he WANTED, the mvvp you Know what. I'm, SAYING so
Speaker 1: i just think it's not a. Good comparison one's a,
Speaker 1: point guard one of the better point guards we've. Ever
Speaker 1: seen one's one of the better two guards we've. Ever
Speaker 1: SEEN so i don't really understand. The comparison and That's
Speaker 1: why i'm gonna go With d WADE because i start
Speaker 1: picking on certain thing and the three championships gotta roll.
Speaker 1: With That d wade started his career his rookie season
Speaker 1: as a point Guard for i'm, just saying uh for,
Speaker 1: one year, MAYBE two. I Believe, uh no he moved
Speaker 1: to the two his. Second Year james harden started at,
Speaker 1: the two moved to the. Point, guard okay the hardest
Speaker 1: thing to do is to go from a two to.
Speaker 1: A one and Then, D wade i. Would say over
Speaker 1: the course Of d, way's CAREER and i Understand what
Speaker 1: pat benv was saying. About Longevity d wade played, the two,
Speaker 1: the three and. The four so, he started as, you
Speaker 1: know like one of the best swingmen ever in. The
Speaker 1: game he Wasn't. Really, no four but he played. The,
Speaker 1: four Yeah so thompson, HE played I Mean. Kevin durant
Speaker 1: but All These Gulay clay thompson has never been. A, four, no,
Speaker 1: no no, No no they've they've been lining ups where
Speaker 1: he's been. The Four clay thompson has never been. The
Speaker 1: Four clay thompson has. The four some are lineups and

Speaker 1: it's A new nba played the four all, the time.
Speaker 1: Thank you but he is A And d way it
Speaker 1: is to. Shooting guard, come on B d that's. That's
Speaker 1: terrible i'm just Saying what. I'm saying i'm Just saying i'm.
Speaker 1: Just Saying d wade has been on the court with a,
Speaker 1: point guard a, SHOOTING Guard, D way lebron He And. Donnas, Hassel,
Speaker 1: Correct yes lebron was. The Four d way was the?
Speaker 1: What three who is the two or? The two it's
Speaker 1: harder to go from a two to. A one i
Speaker 1: can agree. With that this IS why i Go. With
Speaker 1: james and then on top, of that being a system
Speaker 1: is much harder because you are, the system so you're
Speaker 1: you're somewhere in between A d Waight. And lebron that
Speaker 1: is the only the only thing that's stopping you From
Speaker 1: being lebron or having that same type of cashe Alah
Speaker 1: derk nowinsky. Won one but we know how how tough
Speaker 1: that road in that. Journey was Is the warriors one
Speaker 1: of the most dominant teams and then being a history
