Speaker 1: to The Draymond Green Show with my brother Baron Davis
Speaker 1: b D.
Speaker 3: How you feeling, my dog.
Speaker 4: Man, I'm good man. What's up?
Speaker 2: J I see you've been balling and no, for real, bro,
Speaker 2: you've been really bullying. I see you hit the quarner
Speaker 2: three and just run down the court. No gestures you
Speaker 2: feel what I'm saying, like, Okay, okay, we're going light
Speaker 2: on the Shenanigans. Absolutely, we're gonna light on the Yeah,
Speaker 2: you lock man and shit twenty three points four from
Speaker 2: seven from deep.
Speaker 1: Was this a game you just felt the flow right,
Speaker 1: and you know it's just looking at the way y'all
Speaker 1: playing and looking away you playing right now, right, It's
Speaker 1: just that the flow and the confidence is on an
Speaker 1: all time high right now.
Speaker 3: One definitely more confident.
Speaker 1: The ball's moving and you got several playmakers on the floor.
Speaker 1: So whereas you know, you may not be ready to shoot,
Speaker 1: like I'm ready to shoot because I know the boss
Speaker 1: probably getting swung my way. And last night when I
Speaker 1: hit that first corner three, you know, when you see
Speaker 1: that first one go in, you just feel better. And hey,
Speaker 1: they have Valentius on me, which I knew I could.
Speaker 1: I told tomorrow, I said, y'all got him on me.
Speaker 1: Very early in the game. I told tomorrow, y'all got
Speaker 1: him on me. I'm gonna have a field day. Because
Speaker 1: he can't move well enough. I'm in pretty good shape
Speaker 1: right now. He can't move well enough to keep up
Speaker 1: or guard the screen and row or helping the paint
Speaker 1: because they're top locking Steph. Right, so they top locking
Speaker 1: Steph everywhere he go on the floor. They got the
Speaker 1: guy sitting on the top side. So if y'all top
Speaker 1: locking Steph, he clearly gonna be in the paint. Let
Speaker 1: me just go find his corner and lock that first
Speaker 1: one down and see it go through. Feeling real good
Speaker 1: about yourself. But also I know that he don't have
Speaker 1: a chance of once the boss swinging me, he don't
Speaker 1: have a chance of closing out.
Speaker 3: Don't have to rush it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I don't have to rush it, Like I could just
Speaker 1: sit here and lock it in and you know, to
Speaker 1: see the first few go in. I found that rhythm.
Speaker 1: And then from that point, like I just felt like
Speaker 1: I was really aggressive. But I also felt like I
Speaker 1: had to be aggressive because they were completely just selling
Speaker 1: out on stuff. So y'all allowing us to play four
Speaker 1: on three the whole game, I thought I had to
Speaker 1: be aggressive. And then also, you know, I've been realizing,
Speaker 1: like with Jimmy, I'm getting more shots, which is a
Speaker 1: weird thing, right, Like you think Jimmy comes, that's gonna
Speaker 1: take more shots away.
Speaker 3: But with Jimmy I'm actually getting more shots.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again absolutely, and so just finding that rhythm,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, getting accustomed to shooting that
Speaker 1: much again. But yeah, I felt good last night, and
Speaker 1: you know it was crazy, Bed, I ain't gonna lie
Speaker 1: to you. That's the first game I felt good since like.
Speaker 3: New York Knicks coming off that New York trip.
Speaker 1: Man, it was good to get back home, bro, lock in,
Speaker 1: sleep in your own bend, start eating your own food again.
Speaker 1: Like his body needed to feel better.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 1: So I felt great last night, and it was a
Speaker 1: good dug for us. Man, it was a great four
Speaker 1: for seven from date the Warriors is seven and one
Speaker 1: when you hit three or more threes this season. And
Speaker 1: then I also want to say congratulations on becoming the
Speaker 1: second all time assists leader and dub Nation Warriors history.
Speaker 4: Bro. You deserve that. Man.
Speaker 2: That's just a hell of an honor, a hell of
Speaker 2: a a hell of an accomplishment coming from a power
Speaker 2: forward and in your position. Redefine it what a point
Speaker 2: forward is, right, what a playmaker is, what a facilitator is,
Speaker 2: what the brains of the operations of the offense and
Speaker 2: the defense is.
Speaker 4: So you know, you.
Speaker 2: Definitely deserve your flowers, bro, second all time leader and assists.
Speaker 4: Who who is number one?
Speaker 1: Steph?
Speaker 3: Number one?
Speaker 4: Is it really? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Steph number one? By lawn time.
Speaker 1: I'm like, like this checked this out out. So there's
Speaker 1: this notion that I don't do anything but pass the ball,
Speaker 1: which I take great pride in my passing as I've
Speaker 1: passed the ship out the ball, so thank you. I
Speaker 1: take great pride in that. But Steph Curry has sixteen
Speaker 1: hundred more assists than me. Sixteen hundred, right, And then
Speaker 1: you have people saying like, oh, he ain't no point guard.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, how y'all going to
Speaker 1: put him in a conversation with magic?
Speaker 3: And he ain't no point guard?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: The logic of the things that these people be saying
Speaker 1: just don't make sense. But yeah, it's Steph. And who
Speaker 1: I passed for number two is Guy Rogers. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: Guy Roger. But man, it's such an honor, bro to
Speaker 1: be like second all time number two is number one
Speaker 1: for me, it's Steph Curry. I'm like, hey, move him
Speaker 1: out the way.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to get.
Speaker 3: Out the way.
Speaker 1: Man start to recover for him for his assist over there.
Speaker 3: That you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But it's an honor, Bro to be second all time, Like,
Speaker 1: I didn't know if I'd have an NBA career, to
Speaker 1: be second all time assists leader in an organization that's crazy,
Speaker 1: playing the position I play, that's incredible, Man, It's such
Speaker 1: an honor. But I've had great teammates, bro, like playing
Speaker 1: with stuff, playing with play KD. Brandon Rush shot the
Speaker 1: lights out the ball when I first got here, throwing
Speaker 1: lives of Andre and Bogan and some lives like Man,
Speaker 1: I've had great teammates this This organization has done a
Speaker 1: great job of surrounding us with the with the talent
Speaker 1: to fit around us to make our games rise to
Speaker 1: an even higher level.
Speaker 3: So I'm lucky, man. I don't take it for granted
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 1: Bro Like to be second all time and something in
Speaker 1: the history of an NBA organization. Sometimes I just I
Speaker 1: want to cry to pat myself on the back.
Speaker 4: Man, got to my man, you have to now.
Speaker 1: I ain't set out for that, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: be there, I ain't coming here like yo, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to chase this.
Speaker 3: I came in like you.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get a spot like, yeah, I'm a
Speaker 1: second round pick. I just want to I just want
Speaker 1: to like make my case to be on the team
Speaker 1: right and for that to happen, Bro, I'm excited. That
Speaker 1: was a dope one. That's the game giving back. You know,
Speaker 1: that's all we can do is pour into the game.
Speaker 1: And you know you've been pouring into the game your heart,
Speaker 1: your passion, and all that is paying off.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, Bro.
Speaker 1: Before before we keep going, I remember to subscribe to
Speaker 1: The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis so you don't
Speaker 1: miss any episodes and.
Speaker 2: Don't forget to follow us on all social media at
Speaker 2: the Draymond Green Show. So dub nation, let's get this cracking.
Speaker 2: What's up the energy in the building. Steph Curry reached
Speaker 2: four thousand and three pointers? Come on, ye four thousand.
Speaker 2: What did y'all do as a team to celebrate after
Speaker 2: the game? And then, you know, I don't really know
Speaker 2: how sham be getting this info, but word on the
Speaker 2: streets Steph had a birthday party last week till three am.
Speaker 2: The last three people to leave Steph, Draymond, and Jimmie.
Speaker 2: Now that he hit four thousand, how far do you
Speaker 2: think that he'll go before he's done.
Speaker 4: What is that record? You know what?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I saw this earlier. I saw Sham's talking.
Speaker 1: I think he was on Pat McAfee show, which is
Speaker 1: one of the best shows in sports. By the way,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, how did this dude get this information? Man? Like,
Speaker 1: who was that stuff house? Like he had this party
Speaker 1: at his house? Where does he get this information from?
Speaker 1: Unbelievable shams? But yeah, you know why we all stay.
Speaker 1: Steph opened some incredible wine and us three loved wine
Speaker 1: the most on that team, and we enjoyed all of it.
Speaker 1: And he got ordered some bottles and I got a
Speaker 1: picture of the bottles. Excuse me opened. Jimmy brought a
Speaker 1: big six galloner shot.
Speaker 3: To Margo.
Speaker 1: Like. We had a time Michael Michael Mina on the
Speaker 1: one hundred and two slash Killer Boy from Michael Mina.
Speaker 1: I mean, what's there the lead. We played some poker.
Speaker 1: It's a great time. So I don't know how shams
Speaker 1: get these reports. But but of course we was the
Speaker 1: last three there. I drink wine so much wine, we
Speaker 1: all did. It was it was a great time. Shout
Speaker 1: out to Steph Curry, Aisha they were generous hosts to
Speaker 1: have us over at the house. Yeah, that brother went
Speaker 1: deep in the cellar in that part. Of course, me
Speaker 1: and Jimmy he be to the bag.
Speaker 4: He had to go into the polary capin.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he went deep into the cellar.
Speaker 1: And by the way, he told us, yo, y'all come on, like,
Speaker 1: let's go to the cellar and pick out what we're drinking.
Speaker 1: Oh man, what Yeah, we had a field day.
Speaker 4: And write your boy over too.
Speaker 2: I like, why, I don't even drink that much, so
Speaker 2: you ain't gotta.
Speaker 3: We opened some bottles.
Speaker 1: But Bro, that four thousand and three pointers, Man, it's crazy.
Speaker 4: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: I told him, like, Bro, four thousand three pointers, that's nuts.
Speaker 1: You scored twelve thousand points in threes. I don't have
Speaker 1: twelve thousand points in my career. It's Maann scored twelve
Speaker 1: thousand points in threes. Almost half his points, almost half
Speaker 1: of his points in his career are threes.
Speaker 4: That's crazy.
Speaker 3: That is insane.
Speaker 1: But to see him do that, to see him doing
Speaker 1: that Chase Center, he opened up the three thousand club,
Speaker 1: He opened up the four thousand club. If he wants,
Speaker 1: he can't get the five thousand it's just a matter
Speaker 1: of if he wants to or not, Like if he
Speaker 1: wants to put that type of energy and effort. If
Speaker 1: he wants to, he'll get the five thousand before anyone
Speaker 1: else get the fourth Dolls.
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a fact.
Speaker 3: And so that's a fact.
Speaker 4: You know, if he if he wants.
Speaker 1: To, though, he can, he can open the lead up
Speaker 1: that much more where he could get the five thousand
Speaker 1: before anyone else get the four thousand.
Speaker 2: I agree, man, especially the way, specially the way y'all
Speaker 2: working man, you know, getting JK back. You know, Steph
Speaker 2: talked about, you know, how he's focused on one in
Speaker 2: that fifth ring and this team has what it takes.
Speaker 2: I mean we talk about levels, right, I mean bawling
Speaker 2: ever since the Jimmy tray, Like, what's another level you
Speaker 2: gotta get to or what does that level look like
Speaker 2: for the Warriors to go chase that fifth ring.
Speaker 1: You know, for the most part, we've been a good
Speaker 1: done a good job and not turn the ball over
Speaker 1: since Jimmy, which has been a real key to us
Speaker 1: winning because we're able to set our defense, which is great.
Speaker 3: Last few games, we fell off the.
Speaker 1: Richter scale, I mean, went way off the Richter scale
Speaker 1: when it comes to turnovers. Then last night we had
Speaker 1: the first nineteen to twenty minutes of the game, we
Speaker 1: had two turnovers. The last four minutes of the first
Speaker 1: half we had six. And in large party, I threw
Speaker 1: one pass that was so bold because we was just
Speaker 1: trying to get stuff to record at that point, like
Speaker 1: you up twenty three right, Yeah, You're like, yo, let's
Speaker 1: get this record right, And I think we all were
Speaker 1: thinking the same thing. Man, I threw one pass. It
Speaker 1: was like a minute and twenty five left on the clock.
Speaker 1: In the same cord, I threw one pass. I saw
Speaker 1: a little gap on the floor. There was no gap
Speaker 1: in the air. There was just a little gap on
Speaker 1: the floor. I'm like, ah, if I could bounce it
Speaker 1: right there on that spot, it's going to get through
Speaker 1: this gap and lead him to a wide open corner. Three.
Speaker 1: It was so stupid to throw the pass, but I
Speaker 1: think we all was just thinking the same Yeah, we
Speaker 1: lost get on this record. Like you feel the tension building,
Speaker 1: like people wanted to see this record. And I've been
Speaker 1: through a few of these with him where he's breaking
Speaker 1: the record and you know that tension is building up.
Speaker 4: But he gets.
Speaker 3: His hectic trying to get to it.
Speaker 1: But we have to continue to not turn the ball over,
Speaker 1: continue playing great defense. I think we have to. JK
Speaker 1: was great last night, but we have to continue to
Speaker 1: work him in play nineteen minutes. I had great energy
Speaker 1: getting downhill. I think if he can carbon copy what
Speaker 1: he did last night and ultimately knowing that every night
Speaker 1: ain't going to be the same, but carbon copy what
Speaker 1: he did last night, get downhill when your opportunities are there.
Speaker 1: I still think he passed up a few shots at
Speaker 1: the rim that he could have finished. But who's complaining
Speaker 1: to him making about him making the next past? But
Speaker 1: I think getting downhill when you're running and transition, getting buckets,
Speaker 1: finding the cuts when the cuts are there to get
Speaker 1: them lives and drop off passes for them dunks.
Speaker 3: I think if JK can play that way.
Speaker 1: Which I know he's more than capable of and will,
Speaker 1: it's going to be so great for this team because
Speaker 1: with him playing that way, I don't think we ran
Speaker 1: a set for him last night, So him playing that
Speaker 1: way in eighteen points off now and it won't go
Speaker 1: that way every night, right Like, sometimes the ball finds
Speaker 1: you when you're playing a role like that. Sometimes it
Speaker 1: don't the games that's not going that way. Obviously, we
Speaker 1: have sets that we can run for him, right like
Speaker 1: you have sets that can get him downhill, you have
Speaker 1: sets that can get them post touches.
Speaker 3: So then you're calling the place.
Speaker 1: But when he just getting it out the mud like
Speaker 1: that and you don't need to call.
Speaker 4: A set, that's when he's at his best.
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 1: Anytime you can get god scoring and you don't need
Speaker 1: to call a set from him. Man's that opens because
Speaker 1: now a team can't game plan for that.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You can't game plan for a guy getting eighteen points
Speaker 1: with not a set call for him. And so if
Speaker 1: he can do that, and as he gets in better shape,
Speaker 1: Steve will call more sets for him. Man, that takes
Speaker 1: this team to a whole another level. So I just
Speaker 1: think we got to keep doing that. Man turnovers, stay
Speaker 1: locked in on the defensive side of the ball. I
Speaker 1: think everybody trying to be a start in the rows,
Speaker 1: which is important, and the chemistry is great. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That everybody want to win, So we
Speaker 1: just got to keep building on that.
Speaker 2: He's a player that you don't need to reassess for
Speaker 2: and I wanted to reference back when I was at
Speaker 2: the game when you didn't play during the Christmas holidays
Speaker 2: against the Clippers. Right that game, I watched him be aggressive.
Speaker 2: There was no one else, There was no Steff, there
Speaker 2: was no Dre.
Speaker 4: So it was his shoulder run yep.
Speaker 1: And I saw a lot of that last night, right,
Speaker 1: So when you and JK and now you're the additional piece,
Speaker 1: they're not thinking about you, right, You're also if he
Speaker 1: focused on rebounding, being that compliment help defender, shot blocker
Speaker 1: that you and Jimmy need, right, then y'all scrappiness takeover.
Speaker 2: And then he winds up with a mismatch. So him
Speaker 2: going to the basket right, creating those problems getting in
Speaker 2: the lane.
Speaker 4: He can jump over people. You know, he don't need sets.
Speaker 2: He just needs to be aggressive when he gets the
Speaker 2: ball because he's another person in addition to Jimmy. Now
Speaker 2: that's getting to the line getting fouled. And I think
Speaker 2: that's where I see him going forward, really helping on
Speaker 2: the offensive end, but on the defensive end. If he
Speaker 2: can adopt that, hey, I can go play Kamakazi defense
Speaker 2: and fly around and get steals and get blocks and
Speaker 2: get deflections and you know, almost make himself that guy. Right,
Speaker 2: based on the two anchors that he has, he gonna
Speaker 2: take you out to a whole another level because that's
Speaker 2: the missing that's the missing ingredient, you know, watching the
Speaker 2: game is rebounded, right, the turnovers, but also the ability
Speaker 2: for y'all to get out in transition, which now creates
Speaker 2: all kinds of mismatch problems and easy buckets for everybody.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: So that's where I think JK going forward, that he
Speaker 2: can really help, you know, turning up a level right
Speaker 2: as you guys go for that quest because I think
Speaker 2: you have the tools and the talent and the and
Speaker 2: the and the talent and the team to do it.
Speaker 1: I agree one percent, bro, I think you know, for JK.
Speaker 1: And then also like for him to understand, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you've missed thirty one straight games, right, so build back
Speaker 1: to where you were and still keep your idea in your.
Speaker 3: Mind of like, yo, I want to be a star
Speaker 3: in this league.
Speaker 1: Like you don't lose that, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: and I want people to be sure that like that,
Speaker 1: no one's asking him to lose that, Like, still keep
Speaker 1: that belief. But understand where you are, Understand where the
Speaker 1: team is, Understand what's at stake, and be the best
Speaker 1: you can be to get to that thing. Because if
Speaker 1: you be the best you can be to get to
Speaker 1: that thing, everything else will take care of yourself.
Speaker 2: You don't get all the high, you gonna get all
Speaker 2: the love people love.
Speaker 4: Somebody who play hard? Who dug? Who would bees? You know?
Speaker 4: Who can go and.
Speaker 2: Get it out the munt and yeh, So you got

Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: Another record that was broken. Steve Carr host the record
Speaker 2: for the most wins of Warrior History. You've been there
Speaker 2: for all of them. Is there a moment that exemplifies
Speaker 2: his coaching that also represents your relationship with them?
Speaker 3: I think just his demeanor. Man, Steve always know the
Speaker 3: right thing to say.
Speaker 4: He always know the.
Speaker 1: Right adjustment to make, especially in a playoff series. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's anybody in the world that can make
Speaker 1: adjustments like this dude, in a playoff series. It's unbelievable. Man. Like,
Speaker 1: the only time I've ever seen him not know the
Speaker 1: adjustment to make ever in a playoff series was against
Speaker 1: the Lakers.
Speaker 3: A few years ago.
Speaker 1: The only reason he didn't know what the adjustment to
Speaker 1: make is that we just didn't have the size to
Speaker 1: compete with them.
Speaker 3: Like, we just didn't. We didn't have the lanes, we
Speaker 3: didn't have to.
Speaker 1: They were just out matt like much for sure, man
Speaker 1: always knows the adjustment to make.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can go on.
Speaker 1: A tangent about all these other things, but to be
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and always know the adjustment and never rattle, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how much more I see coaches in
Speaker 1: the NBA get rattled every day.
Speaker 3: This man's never rattled, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like people don't understand how big that is when you're
Speaker 1: in a playoff series. We beat teams because I just
Speaker 1: watched their coach crumble, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: Steve has never rattled, but is always locked in.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: I think those moments right there is what exemplifies him
Speaker 1: his coaching, and the bigger the moment, the better he is.
Speaker 1: And there's not many people that you could say that about.
Speaker 1: The bigger the moment, get the more dialed, then he is.
Speaker 1: The bigger the moment, get, the more confident he is.
Speaker 1: It's like he come alive when the moments gets big
Speaker 1: man that There's just not many people that can do that.
Speaker 1: You see a lot of coaches around this league have
Speaker 1: great regular seasons and they can never close the deal.
Speaker 3: The bigger the moment for Steve, the better he is.
Speaker 4: Shout out to Steve Curve Man.
Speaker 1: And I think my relationship with him, my relationship with
Speaker 1: him today is better than it's ever been. And I
Speaker 1: think in large part we both mature. Like he matured
Speaker 1: as a coach, I'm matured as a player. I had
Speaker 1: to mature way more than he needed to mature, obviously,
Speaker 1: But Steve was the first time coach when he first
Speaker 1: became my coach, so you also go through those roles
Speaker 1: of growth as well. You know our relationship now, Hey,
Speaker 1: I know when to shut the hell up earlier in
Speaker 1: my career. I can't say I know I knew when
Speaker 1: to shut that.
Speaker 3: I know when to shut the hell up now.
Speaker 1: But he did everything he needed to do to gain
Speaker 1: my trust as a coach.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not one of those people who just believe, Oh,
Speaker 1: they gave you the title coach, you respect? Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: he did everything plus more that he needed to do.
Speaker 3: Tom is old was my coach.
Speaker 1: Bro Like he did everything plus more that he needed
Speaker 1: to do to show me that he was a great
Speaker 1: coach and that I should believe all the things that
Speaker 1: he says.
Speaker 3: And now I don't. I don't have really a question
Speaker 3: about anything.
Speaker 1: If I do, I tell him, Hey, coach, I think this,
Speaker 1: but I'm definitely going to try your way. But if
Speaker 1: I struggle with that, or if we struggle with that,
Speaker 1: maybe we can make this adjustment. Where As opposed to
Speaker 1: when I'm younger, I'd be like, no, man, I don't
Speaker 1: think we should do that. We should do it like this.
Speaker 1: And it's like, Na, those are two different statements. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and so I've learned a lot.
Speaker 1: But man, my relationship with him, I just have such
Speaker 1: a huge appreciation for him because he's just taught me
Speaker 1: so much about winning, man, so much about being a
Speaker 1: winner in this league, so much about winning at the
Speaker 1: highest level that you know, my appreciation for Steve at
Speaker 1: this point in my career is through the roof, and
Speaker 1: I think I think his is probably the same for me.
Speaker 1: We've done it all together, you know, every win he's got,
Speaker 1: like you said, all of his wins I've been here for.
Speaker 1: And it's a beautiful thing to watch him dominate as
Speaker 1: a coach in this league and be one of the
Speaker 1: all time greats because that he is.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Steve Kerr most wins of Warrior history.
Speaker 2: You know, Steve Curry did play with a dude named
Speaker 2: Didn't in Spribman right, and Dramond Green. You are nothing
Speaker 2: like Didn't Inspriban, Sir. You feelming what I'm saying. So
Speaker 2: I feel like for Steve Kerr, having someone like you
Speaker 2: is you know, advantageous to him and just reminds him
Speaker 2: when he was playing high locked in Robmin was But
Speaker 2: you know, having Draymond versus like, you know, Draymond gonna
Speaker 2: show up. Draymond is gonna do all the right things
Speaker 2: outside of tackling people, and you know, punch of.
Speaker 1: A bunch of people. But he ain't no robbin, you know,
Speaker 1: to expect. You know, he's a good young man.
Speaker 2: You know, he goes from a great he comes from
Speaker 2: a great family, and he exhusted. He exudes that. And
Speaker 2: it's off the court behavior, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I was raised right now. I'll ever get it twisted.
Speaker 2: I was raised right. Raise really well. Shout out to
Speaker 2: Steve kerr Man, y'all. Thirteen and one with Jimmy and
Speaker 2: the lineup. Lineup, y'all, don't won six in a row.
Speaker 2: The next three games four days, you got the Nick, Nuggets,
Speaker 2: and Bucks, all tough games, three different styles of play.
Speaker 2: As one of the best defenders in the league, can
Speaker 2: you give us an inside look on basically high you
Speaker 2: prepare for, you know, three games and four nights, and
Speaker 2: you're talking about the Knicks, the Nuggets and then the Bucks.
Speaker 1: I think the Knicks, you know, with Jaylen brusting out
Speaker 1: there doing it more by committee, you know, so the
Speaker 1: ball's moving around a lot more they're using each other
Speaker 1: a lot more because you still need to create those shots,
Speaker 1: but you don't necessarily have Jayleen Bruston at the point
Speaker 1: to break the defense down and get that first domino
Speaker 1: to fall. So I think they're doing that with a
Speaker 1: lot more ball movement, player movement. Tough team to guard,
Speaker 1: especially with Kat shooting the ball away. He shoots the ball.
Speaker 1: I think he's shooting like fifty seven percent on catching
Speaker 1: shoot threes. That's crazy, that's insane, right, I.
Speaker 4: Watched the Portland game. He was burning them up.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now he's shooting fifty seven percent on catching shit,
Speaker 1: that's unheard of. I don't know if there's many guards
Speaker 1: in this league shooting right, If any catch and shoot threes.
Speaker 1: You almost have to approach him like you used to
Speaker 1: approach Lay Thompson, Like it's hard to take your body
Speaker 1: of him because he get a and his triggers quick.
Speaker 1: He catched the ball up, it's like, and so he
Speaker 1: gets the ball with space and he's seven feet it's tough,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, and then they're playing
Speaker 1: great defense. They've been a lot better defensively since Jalen
Speaker 1: brusn't been out, which makes sense you adding, you know,
Speaker 1: a better defender, and then also adding a better not
Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinson, but not only adding a better defender, because
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunst is not a bad defender. But as a team,
Speaker 1: you know, we have to defend better because we don't
Speaker 1: got that guy to cover slack for us if we're
Speaker 1: not defending well, you know. And so I think it's
Speaker 1: even more so that than necessarily Jalen Brunston being a
Speaker 1: bad defender, because I don't think Jalen Bruston is a
Speaker 1: bad defender.
Speaker 3: But uh, that's a tough game.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: They they're playing, they're playing good basketball.
Speaker 1: I think if we go out and play our game,
Speaker 1: take care of the ball, play the way we've been playing,
Speaker 1: I like our chances in that. And you got Denver
Speaker 1: coming in. Denver's always a tough team to beat. With
Speaker 1: the joker at the helm running everything in Russish, I
Speaker 1: know people are shocked by this.
Speaker 4: I'm not RUSSI he's playing phenomenal.
Speaker 3: I know he's playing.
Speaker 1: Phenomenal, but he's shooting the lights out the ball and
Speaker 1: got changes things for this team. You know, at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, they were struggling a little bit
Speaker 1: everybody was talking about their bench and they were talking
Speaker 1: about their three point shooter.
Speaker 3: Well that's changed, and that team is playing really well.
Speaker 1: Jamar Murray seems to have found himself again after after
Speaker 1: being in the slump.
Speaker 3: Michael is playing well.
Speaker 1: So that team is playing really well, you know, So
Speaker 1: that's a tough game. Joker is one of the best
Speaker 1: scorers in this league, obvious, one of the best passes,
Speaker 1: one of the best rebounders, one of the best players
Speaker 1: in this league.
Speaker 3: You know that he always gains.
Speaker 4: A lot of problem.
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. You know you can make that argument any day.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can get somebody to argue with you,
Speaker 1: but you can't get nobody to tell you crazy, right,
Speaker 1: So you know that's always a tough matchup. And then Bucks,
Speaker 1: everything starts and stops with Giannis and dang they go.
Speaker 3: So as those two guys go.
Speaker 1: And you know, they're both playing really good basketball at
Speaker 1: a high level. I think Johannessy's averaging something close to
Speaker 1: thirty twelve and six or something of that nature.
Speaker 3: They're playing really good basketball.
Speaker 1: And their role players and stepped up Tori and Plince
Speaker 1: is playing well, with Gary Trentz playing well was coming there.
Speaker 1: You know, Cool's coming there has helped help that team
Speaker 1: out a lot. So you know that team's playing really well.
Speaker 1: They do miss Bobby Porters, so I know they're looking
Speaker 1: forward to getting him back for the playoffs. But they're
Speaker 1: playing really good basketball, and you know, we got to
Speaker 1: be locked in. And then it's a back to back also,
Speaker 1: so that makes the game even tougher. But nonetheless three
Speaker 1: tough games. Usually in a situation like that, you say,
Speaker 1: if we can get two of them, you're happy about it.
Speaker 1: We hope to get all three of them. And I
Speaker 1: started playing, and that's what we're going for.
Speaker 2: I've been watching the Knicks and Nuggets a lot, and
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's rebounding big man play right. The Knicks,
Speaker 2: they looking to push the ball more with Jay and
Speaker 2: brusting out so they can get easy buckets. But the Nuggets,
Speaker 2: like you said, everybody is shooting the ball well, shooting
Speaker 2: the ball with confidence. So I'm excited to see that game, especially,
Speaker 2: you know, from a matchup standpoint, And you know, I
Speaker 2: have to give a shout out to the Bucks because
Speaker 2: they turned it around from when we was getting on them.
Speaker 2: When I was getting on him early in the season, right,
Speaker 2: And my reason for that was let Giannis and Dang
Speaker 2: plug in and let everybody else you know, plug into
Speaker 2: their sockets. Right, And you're starting to see that the
Speaker 2: two most important and most potent players on their team
Speaker 2: is really leading the charge. So three games, four nights,
Speaker 2: you know, all tough games, six in a row, and
Speaker 2: I think for you guys, it's just a one game
Speaker 2: at a time approach, and each game is kind of
Speaker 2: like you know, every team is balling right now. Talk
Speaker 2: about a little bit about that, because you ain't about
Speaker 2: to be watching no bad basketball because everybody fighting for something.
Speaker 2: And so talk about that mentality too as you get
Speaker 2: down the stretch of the last bit of season, how
Speaker 2: all these games just matter and how you can't put
Speaker 2: one game before the other.
Speaker 1: No, you got to be locked in because like you said,
Speaker 1: everybody's playing for something. If someone isn't playing for something,
Speaker 1: then you it's still dangerous because because you exactly, you
Speaker 1: get young guys coming out like yo, this is my
Speaker 1: chance to prove something, and so those games are even dangerous.
Speaker 1: But I think for us, you know, we've known that
Speaker 1: like this is play all time for us since coming out,
Speaker 1: this all start breaking we need to win all the
Speaker 1: games we can to give ourselves the best possible seedon
Speaker 1: you want to not be in the play in so
Speaker 1: you can get that week of rest. You know, we're
Speaker 1: a little older, so that we could rest can go
Speaker 1: a long ways instead of fighting and there playing playing
Speaker 1: haven't been nice to us. So I think we all
Speaker 1: too much, too much wait and then you got to
Speaker 1: get right into the mix with you know, the hungry Wolves.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: So you know, for us, it's been about winning every
Speaker 1: game and down the stretch. You know, that's our focus.
Speaker 1: But they're also building the right habits, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think for us as a team, we
Speaker 1: know that if we build the right habits, we have
Speaker 1: the pieces. And so that's kind of how we've been
Speaker 1: approaching every game. And we don't have any room for air.
Speaker 1: Got two teams, the Clippers, they right there, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Right there, Minnesota's right there. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We've been on a win street and
Speaker 1: so have they. You know, so we got to stay
Speaker 1: locked in, and you know, I have no doubt in
Speaker 1: my mind that we will, but we definitely got to
Speaker 1: stay locked in.
Speaker 4: Around the league.
Speaker 2: Lebron confronts Stephen A. Smith bringing your name into it.
Speaker 2: I don't know why he brought Jmond Green name up recently.
Speaker 2: He says, Lebron James confronting him at the Laker game.
Speaker 4: Was bullshit and it was weak. Talk that shit.
Speaker 2: Now, let me get behind the hoummies and let me
Speaker 2: get over here. Let me talk about ship now.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of problems that guys have with
Speaker 1: media is to call something that that man did bullshit
Speaker 1: and weak, like those are words like where we grew up,
Speaker 1: like you get hands put on you, where we grew
Speaker 1: up in those types of words. So I think the
Speaker 1: problem that people have with media is you go on
Speaker 1: there and you you're like, oh, that's weak, Like we
Speaker 1: like calling another man weak, like that's just that's not basketball,
Speaker 1: which which is actually what Brian was saying in the
Speaker 1: first place, Like let's keep it basketball because calling the
Speaker 1: man weak, that's that's not basketball.
Speaker 3: And you're paid to talk about basketball.
Speaker 1: You call Brian weak for stepping to you, but you're
Speaker 1: taking shots at him as a father.
Speaker 3: On TV behind the camera.
Speaker 1: Most would say that's weak, and I know he'll say,
Speaker 1: I'm paid to do that. No, you're paid to analyze,
Speaker 1: you're paid to debate on the show.
Speaker 2: You really paid to say whatever you want to say
Speaker 2: as far as this game, whether you like it or not.
Speaker 4: But as a person, you should be lifting lifting him up.
Speaker 1: Absolutely know what I mean, Like because because Lebron is
Speaker 1: a good dude, he do good ship, He a good dad,
Speaker 1: his kid made it.
Speaker 4: They doing, you know, they doing some ship. That's history.
Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying, and so you should be
Speaker 2: lifting them up and talking about the fact that this
Speaker 2: dude ain't got into no trouble.
Speaker 3: Absolutely right.
Speaker 2: I ain't got into no bullshit. But like you bring
Speaker 2: in like I would say the WWE and too basketball
Speaker 2: when you cross that line and talk about somebody kids,
Speaker 2: because if it's my kids, bro, if it's my kids,
Speaker 2: I'm a I'm gonna catch you too.
Speaker 1: As soon as I said it, I didn't. I hadn't
Speaker 1: talked to Brin at all about this. As soon as
Speaker 1: I saw him say it, excuse me. Bob was up
Speaker 1: here that day, and Bob was like, Oh, yeah, I
Speaker 1: work with steven A tomorrow. I'm in a gotchall game tonight.
Speaker 1: I'm in the studio tomorrow something stephen A and I
Speaker 1: think Malika, and I was like, oh, you make sure
Speaker 1: you tell stephen A that I have zero respect for
Speaker 1: what he said yesterday. You go on TV National TV
Speaker 1: calling out this African America's black father who's raised another
Speaker 1: successful black young man, and you go on TV calling
Speaker 1: him out as a father because his son play in
Speaker 1: the NBA. That's ass backwards. You.
Speaker 3: You are on TV National TV condemning.
Speaker 1: A black man as a father because his son is
Speaker 1: playing in the NBA.
Speaker 3: Like, how does that even make?
Speaker 1: And I told Bob that, I said you should tell him, like,
Speaker 1: tell him like, I can't respect that. Like, if you
Speaker 1: want to talk about him as a basketball player, talk
Speaker 1: about him as a basketball play. If you want to
Speaker 1: talk about player, talk about him all you want. Although
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty whacked at y'all find time to
Speaker 1: talk about the fifty fifth draft pick. The only the
Speaker 1: only picks I can name right off the top of
Speaker 1: my mind that was fifty fifth pick or lower was
Speaker 1: Manuja Noble and Isaiah Thomas.
Speaker 3: You can't even name a fifty fifth draft pick.
Speaker 4: Ben ain't getting noose steam until they start killing.
Speaker 1: To see just going at this man, as this man said, Lebron,
Speaker 1: you need to stop.
Speaker 3: As a father, you need to stop.
Speaker 1: What huh? And then you throw out the excuse like, well,
Speaker 1: he the one said that his brownie is better than
Speaker 1: NBA players. You name me what parent don't think their
Speaker 1: kid is better than everybody? Like that is a I'm
Speaker 1: many things for parents. That's in sports. We all think
Speaker 1: our kid is better than what they are. That is
Speaker 1: the nature of the peace. My mama thought I was
Speaker 1: better than what I was. That is the nature of
Speaker 1: a parent in sports. But to go on TV and
Speaker 1: say you need to stop it as a father, then
Speaker 1: go and he stepped to you about that, and then
Speaker 1: say it's weak on TV because the because the demeanor
Speaker 1: in person was like that was demeanor impression. But then
Speaker 1: on TV you go, oh, that was bullshit, like weak,
Speaker 1: like come on, man, so.
Speaker 4: Fix it. Soup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I said, Draymond ain't talking to me.
Speaker 1: And it's not that you know, I don't have much
Speaker 1: to say to that. Like, also reach out to that
Speaker 1: man and talk to him after as somebody say something
Speaker 1: to you, because you know you're wrong, So reach out
Speaker 1: to that man talk you But he didn't. You didn't
Speaker 1: reach out and talk to him. That's weak. That's what
Speaker 1: we call week where I'm from the guys that I
Speaker 1: was raised by the man that had an impact on
Speaker 1: my life, That's what we call week.
Speaker 4: Here's my issue with the Bronnie situation.
Speaker 2: There are fifty four picks before him, and then they're
Speaker 2: like high, very.
Speaker 4: Mini picks behind it.
Speaker 2: We need to be talking about some of these young
Speaker 2: rookie dudes who need the light shepherding in the new way.
Speaker 2: Like I like Lebron Bronnie storyline. I like to see
Speaker 2: when Briannie get in the game. I'm root for him too.
Speaker 4: I want to see him score too.
Speaker 2: It's a storyline, and it's a storyline of a lot
Speaker 2: of people want to see him make it right and
Speaker 2: him you know, just like you said at the beginning
Speaker 2: of the show, it's like, man, I was just trying
Speaker 2: to make the team as the second round pick, right,
Speaker 2: This kid just trying to make the team, you know,
Speaker 2: no matter whose daddy is, right, he got his own
Speaker 2: basketball dreams, right, and it's his dream, not Lebron's dream.
Speaker 4: It's his own dream.
Speaker 2: So he trying to make the team and just so
Speaker 2: have and that's his father. That's a great storyline, but
Speaker 2: there's so many dope young rookies that we should be
Speaker 2: talking about Rookie of the Year debate, right, and talk
Speaker 2: about which one of these rookies. So now the young kids,
Speaker 2: you know, can be up on who Stephen Castle is, right,
Speaker 2: they need to be up up on things like that,
Speaker 2: because now it's like, let's start talking about the guys
Speaker 2: who are gonna start to come into the shadows of
Speaker 2: the staffs. And then Kevin Durantz, right, and a lot
Speaker 2: of this wwe or I would say like kind of housewives,
Speaker 2: you know, celebrity fucker excuse my language, right, is really
Speaker 2: kind of like where people getting out of hand and
Speaker 2: then when you say them in real life, they shock
Speaker 2: because they used to being behind the camera, behind the screen.
Speaker 2: He ain't got no real human interaction. And we know,
Speaker 2: you know stephen A to be one of the best
Speaker 2: voices you know, and we all got it, we all
Speaker 2: got relationships with Stephen A. And Stephen A is one
Speaker 2: of the biggest voices in the media. So he you
Speaker 2: can be checked too, right, And it's okay that if
Speaker 2: you check to man up and say you know what
Speaker 2: I was wrong, I was checked, and not go and
Speaker 2: keep stirring the pot because you know this man can't
Speaker 2: really do nothing because you're in the median Agree, come
Speaker 2: talk about my kids. See, I'm just straightening your jacket, Draymond.
Speaker 2: How you feel what I'm saying. I'm gonna get your
Speaker 2: suit right? How to act on me? Some statement? You
Speaker 2: know you got something on your on your collar on me?
Speaker 4: You feel me everything?
Speaker 1: I mean not to button his jacket up point, you know,
Speaker 1: So shout out to.
Speaker 4: Lebron for just being Lebron.
Speaker 2: And you know, for somebody like that to even take
Speaker 2: the time during the day, you know, and during the game.
Speaker 2: You know, it's been on his mind, he's been on
Speaker 2: his heart, and this dude has been above everything.
Speaker 4: Right, I've been everything.
Speaker 1: You don't see that, bro, And so for that man
Speaker 1: to go do that in the game, it's like, Man,
Speaker 1: that man was hurt.
Speaker 2: You hurt that dude. Right, You're supposed to be whatever
Speaker 2: it is one meie when I see you whoop. But
Speaker 2: when you do that, man, that's hurt. That dude is like,
Speaker 2: hold on, bro, you are attacking me. You did something
Speaker 2: that hurt me. I gotta let you know that when
Speaker 2: it ain't cool. This shit stop now right before it's
Speaker 2: before you start thinking that you can keep doing that,
Speaker 2: And so I mean that shit should just be squashed,
Speaker 2: and steven A should really just accept that that. You know,
Speaker 2: we as players right as fathers, like we gotta come
Speaker 2: home to certain shit. I remember when Russ was going
Speaker 2: through it with the media and he was like, Man,
Speaker 2: I got to come home to my kids and they
Speaker 2: think I'm a bad person because of what y'all saying
Speaker 2: in the media, because of some basketball shit. So we
Speaker 2: got to learn how to separate that, because y'all are heroes, right,
Speaker 2: y'all are great people. Y'all do good in the community.
Speaker 2: You fund companies, you buy food for home, like it's
Speaker 2: nothing that won't motivate and move y'all heart. So we
Speaker 2: gotta treat y'all like heroes and not treat y'all like
Speaker 2: you know, basketball wives or Desperate housewives and some shit
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: Couldn't have said it better man.
Speaker 1: So hopefully these guys start to grow, because I think
Speaker 1: the way our game is covered has a lot to
Speaker 1: do with the way the game is viewed these days.
Speaker 1: So everybody talk about their bigger problem in the game
Speaker 1: and radis and all of that. The way the game
Speaker 1: is covered the days of Amyra shat inside stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Person yeah, personality pieces.
Speaker 1: So hopefully they can learn from this too. Hey, Anthony
Speaker 1: Mason kicked me off the night he took the whole
Speaker 1: team to dinner and kick me out the dinner because
Speaker 1: I wouldn't drink. Hey, hey Jay, you know you'd be like,

Speaker 1: and we had a team dinner and they were ordering everything.
Speaker 3: Man Richard Jefferson ordered this big one.

Speaker 3: Joker just made a statement after the first game.
Speaker 1: He said, Man, I think I'm playing the best basketball
Speaker 1: in my career, he said, but if I don't get it,
Speaker 1: good for him. He's amazing. That's the first time I've
Speaker 1: ever heard Joker like kind of lobby for himself and MVP,
Speaker 1: which I was a little shocked by. He usually don't
Speaker 1: give a damn about anything.
Speaker 4: He gotta get shot down with each chase in his street.
Speaker 1: Though, let's say the years before he was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: if I get it, I get it.
Speaker 4: It's other dope dudes, and those are great, amazing dudes.
Speaker 4: But this is my best year.
Speaker 2: Yes, not only is this my best year, this is
Speaker 2: my best statistical year.
Speaker 4: Yep, by far than any of.
Speaker 2: These MVP seasons that I had, Right, So I gotta
Speaker 2: put that out there that hey, I'm about to break,
Speaker 2: I'm about to do some shit that ain't nobody ever
Speaker 2: did in the league, in the league history, yep. And
Speaker 2: so you got to put your bid out there. What
Speaker 2: Shaye is doing right, you know, is having a phenomenal season,
Speaker 2: MVP caliber season, leading the number one team in the league. Right,
Speaker 2: and the way he get down is just you know,
Speaker 2: kids love his game. He's a fan favorite. You know,
Speaker 2: he got the personality, right, the team got the personality,
Speaker 2: and so you know, all light is gonna shine that
Speaker 2: way based on the work that he putting in the
Speaker 2: way that they mean him, the way he's elevating himself,
Speaker 2: you know, even more so from last year. But when
Speaker 2: you look at Joker and what Joker is doing and
Speaker 2: how he's doing it and being the focal, being the
Speaker 2: everything for that team, the engine that make that team
Speaker 2: go top five in points, top five, assists, top five,
Speaker 2: and rebounds top five, top three, all of them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: top three, my man, top three, top three, Come on, man,
Speaker 2: come on, you gotta I gotta say something. I gotta
Speaker 2: say something just to let y'all know, Like I know
Speaker 2: what I'm doing out here, and I'm feeling it too,
Speaker 2: So I think that's why he put that that out
Speaker 2: there like that, just to let people know, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I do know I'm killing this year, so take note
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 3: I respect it. I'm happy, you know.
Speaker 1: I love when guys talk that shit, So I'm happy
Speaker 1: he says something.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: The only thing I would say is as deserving as
Speaker 1: he is with that start line, what he's up against,
Speaker 1: his people become accustomed to greatness, and in turn, like
Speaker 1: Lebron for instance, right, like Lebron probably should have like
Speaker 1: six MVP six or seven, but people get kind of
Speaker 1: accustom and board with greatness, and so that's one of
Speaker 1: the things he's up against.
Speaker 3: If Joker was having this year.
Speaker 1: Statistically and all of that, if he was having this
Speaker 1: year and had never won MVP, he undoubtedly be MVP.
Speaker 1: But because people have grown accustomed to him averaging those
Speaker 1: types of numbers, you kind of get a bump down
Speaker 1: from that now and saying that when you look at
Speaker 1: who's won the MVP over the years, I think it's
Speaker 1: also very hard to deny Shay. And that's where I
Speaker 1: think the voting system becomes a problem because the reality
Speaker 1: is it's so opinionated.
Speaker 3: There's no criteria, there's none of these things.
Speaker 1: The reality is, if you had a small committee, they
Speaker 1: probably make them co m vps.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If you have you make them co vps. What you
Speaker 1: both guys are deserving. And like I said, now here's
Speaker 1: the problem that shaves up against though. Ten years from now,
Speaker 1: five years from now, Joker don't win MVP and you
Speaker 1: put those stats next to Shaye's stats, everybody gonna be like, yo,
Speaker 1: what the hell, right, there's no chance this guy didn't
Speaker 1: win MVP, right, right, right, And so but we're not
Speaker 1: going to winning three more already having three for sure.
Speaker 1: But we're not computers, and we watch the games and
Speaker 1: we know the records, and we know right as human beings,
Speaker 1: you take into you know, these guys take into account
Speaker 1: that they get tired of seeing the same greatness and
Speaker 1: they try to do other things and try to be
Speaker 1: crafty with the votes.
Speaker 3: And so you got all of that going.
Speaker 1: I usually like to take a hard stance, but I'll
Speaker 1: say on this one, man, I wish the committee. I
Speaker 1: wish there was a committee and the voting was different
Speaker 1: because these guys would be calling vps because it's hard
Speaker 1: to say one of them deserve it over the other one.
Speaker 1: Both great players, both doing something incredible. Shade leading this
Speaker 1: young team defensively and offensively.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure he stepped it up in their number one.
Speaker 1: In the league five what I don't know if they're not.
Speaker 1: They're number one in the West by ten games in
Speaker 1: the league. They're right there with the Cows. I think
Speaker 1: the Cavs may be leading, but it's.
Speaker 4: A sixty one team right there.
Speaker 3: It's tough, man, these guys, tough guys playing.
Speaker 2: They're very deserved. I mean, they're both very deserving of it.
Speaker 2: And I like to see a coin MVP like you
Speaker 2: can't say one had a better year than the other
Speaker 2: one because they both had incredible years and one shouldn't
Speaker 2: overshadow what the other one accomplished this year because they
Speaker 2: were heading shoulders above everybody else.
Speaker 4: As far as MVP Petty be there.
Speaker 1: In recent weeks in the podcast community, we've lost Philadelphia
Speaker 1: seventy six ers wing Paul George, But that is not
Speaker 1: the biggest news that come out of Philadelphia in the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Daryl Morey says yesterday or today
Speaker 1: what yesterday? That he uses AI to make decisions based
Speaker 1: you know around the team? What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 4: Not? Alan iris Sin correct? All right?
Speaker 2: So AI is artificial intelligence, right, and so.
Speaker 3: Hear me out should be out.
Speaker 4: Right, It shouldn't be the real AI.
Speaker 2: But you mean to tell me you're gonna use artificial
Speaker 2: intelligence to judge real human interaction, right, And so when
Speaker 2: you do use artificial intelligence, you have to prompt the
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence to tell it, to help it, to tell
Speaker 2: the artificial intelligence so they can help you make a decision.
Speaker 2: And it's not making this decision, it's just giving you
Speaker 2: data and information and a suggestion, right, right, So I
Speaker 2: say this, the Philadelphia seventy six ers are screwed, right
Speaker 2: because you can't blame AI because it still takes the
Speaker 2: human being to write the props.
Speaker 4: So what the hell? What kind of props are you
Speaker 4: putting in to help you make these decisions? Right? Because
Speaker 4: half the team hurt? Right? Half the team don't want
Speaker 4: to play.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man free all my homies over there
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Shit, Wes, I use AI to make decisions too. It's
Speaker 1: called a bit your game, right, But you don't play
Speaker 1: with people's lives like that.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I can see AI telling you like, oh,
Speaker 1: cat Shot shoots fifty seven on Catcher releases.
Speaker 4: But come on, you man, that shouldn't be center.
Speaker 1: Man, you need to be consulting with AI for real.
Speaker 1: They're real AI.
Speaker 4: Bro. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Listen, here is what I'll say on that before we
Speaker 1: get out of here.
Speaker 3: Daryl Moury.
Speaker 1: You see analytics being a huge part of the NBA,
Speaker 1: and I think people went too far left with the
Speaker 1: analytics and they started to pull it back and understand
Speaker 1: that analytics, you want to say, and if you learn
Speaker 1: how to use the analytics, Daryl Moury was at the
Speaker 1: forefront of that analytics pushing the NBA. And I think
Speaker 1: in large part due to Daryl Moury, he never played basketball,
Speaker 1: So you use analytics to help you process and validate
Speaker 1: your opinions on basketball and talent.
Speaker 3: Yes. In turn, that created a path for guys like.
Speaker 1: Daryl Morey in the NBA that ain't never really played basketball,
Speaker 1: but knows numbers and can apply those numbers to real
Speaker 1: life basketball. It's no surprise that he's at the forefront
Speaker 1: of using AI what I will calltion. You of he
Speaker 1: never won. So there's that and that's my thoughts on.
Speaker 4: Hi Allen.
Speaker 3: Before we get out of here, man, just want.
Speaker 1: To speak on Junior Bridgeman, one of our NBA ogs
Speaker 1: brothers that we lost this week, uh suddenly, unexpectedly at
Speaker 1: seventy one years old. What he meant to us as
Speaker 1: basketball players goes far beyond the game of basketball, because
Speaker 1: what he did after basketball is what y'all look at
Speaker 1: and aspire to be a guy to go and build
Speaker 1: a successful businesses as he's done to become one of
Speaker 1: the best African American businessman. But forget African American businessman
Speaker 1: and one of the best businessmen in America. But when
Speaker 1: I say African American businessman, I say that because it
Speaker 1: means so much to us because we don't have a
Speaker 1: million examples to look to, you know, to lose him
Speaker 1: suddenly at seventy one. I'll say, I've never gotten the
Speaker 1: opportunity to meet him. And I was one person I
Speaker 1: always wanted to meet, but you always feel like you
Speaker 1: got time, Like I always feel like, no, I'll get
Speaker 1: to meet him, Like I've heard so much about him, obviously,
Speaker 1: I've studied him out can probably list off all of
Speaker 1: the things he's done in business as good as anyone,
Speaker 1: but you just don't always have time. And that was
Speaker 1: one I can honestly say, like I've always wanted to
Speaker 1: meet him, but I've always just been like, I'm going
Speaker 1: to I'm going to ye, and here we are out
Speaker 1: of time, you know. So I just want to send
Speaker 1: my love and well wishes to his family, Chauncey Billups,
Speaker 1: who I know is extremely tight with him, you know,
Speaker 1: and everybody who's been impacted by his life, and just
Speaker 1: say thank you for what he's meant to us as
Speaker 1: NBA players and wanting to branch out and do other
Speaker 1: things and focus on other businesses. He's a giant man
Speaker 1: and so rest in peace, Junior Bridgeman.
Speaker 4: I definitely want everything he's done for.
Speaker 1: Us as players, for us to be viewed the way
Speaker 1: we're viewed in business and the capabilities that we have
Speaker 1: in business. Shout out to Junior Bridgeman, and I wish
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity, But I will say to y'all,
Speaker 1: do not think you have time because you.
Speaker 4: Don't shout out to me.
Speaker 2: And I just want to have my two cents after
Speaker 2: the opportunity of me with him, a couple of times
Speaker 2: having them at the crib talking business. I think when
Speaker 2: they were talking about ebony and you know, for me,
Speaker 2: I'm a basketball fan first, so just talking basketball, talking
Speaker 2: about his legacy, talking about his era, hearing how he
Speaker 2: talked about the different players in his era, to have
Speaker 2: the opportunity to sit down, pick his brand on the
Speaker 2: business side, his humbleness, his diligence, his you know, I
Speaker 2: would say, he made you feel like you are a
Speaker 2: part of his family, right, He made you feel like
Speaker 2: but he was the big brother, right and so in
Speaker 2: our business of sports, you know, we are we are
Speaker 2: a brotherhood, We are a family. We say that a lot,
Speaker 2: but rarely do you find people, you know, like Junior
Speaker 2: Bridgman that open up you know, his mind, his heart,
Speaker 2: and you know the opportunities that that he had. And
Speaker 2: so I just want to give a big, you know,
Speaker 2: shout out to his family and also to the fans
Speaker 2: right for posting. Make sure you keep posting him in
Speaker 2: his jersey.
Speaker 4: We know that.
Speaker 2: You know, off the court, he was a pioneer. He
Speaker 2: was a pillar and example of what it means to
Speaker 2: transfer from you know, on the court to off the
Speaker 2: court in a successful way. But keep posting them highlights,
Speaker 2: keep posting them pictures of him, you know, as a hooper,
Speaker 2: because you know, we also, you know, as a younger
Speaker 2: generation in that next generation, got to do a better
Speaker 2: job of telling our you know, our og stories as
Speaker 2: a collective and then also our ogs, you know, talking
Speaker 2: about the young people and bringing them up, you know,
Speaker 2: so we all kind of stay together, right, We all
Speaker 2: all our stories can be manifested and we can be
Speaker 2: honored and given the right roses. So it's not too late.
Speaker 2: And I just appreciate, you know, Junior Bridgeman. I appreciate
Speaker 2: all the ogs that come before us, and you know,
Speaker 2: even the ones that are older.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: I think it's important for us to embrace them now,
Speaker 2: embrace their stories, you know, embracing their point of view,
Speaker 2: because they are the legacy and we need to be
Speaker 2: able to, you know, continue to translate those stories, you know,
Speaker 2: because they all tie together, generation after generation.
Speaker 3: One.
Speaker 1: Rest in peace to a giant peace I said, definitely
Speaker 1: a giant. Shout out to Junior Bridgeman, Shout out to UbD.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you man on the show. You created this thing
Speaker 1: with me. We've started to take this thing to a
Speaker 1: new level one. Like I told you, Bro, I was
Speaker 1: just in a space of needing something, someone to help
Speaker 1: drive the show on what you've done.
Speaker 4: Brother.
Speaker 1: I can't thank you enough, appreciate you, bro. Right every week,
