Speaker 1 (00:03):
I want to get back to basketball and the G League,
believe it or not, where Bronnie James continues to impress
with the South Bay Lakers. Bronnie scored sixteen points yesterday
to go along with fivecist, four rebounds, and three steals
in South Bay's ninety eight to ninety loss to the
Greensboro Swarm. The game comes off Brownie's thirty point performance
last week against the Valley Suns. The fifty fifth overall
(00:28):
pick in this year's draft is playing with more confidence,
average twenty points two point seven rebounds to assistble game
this month. He's also showing his ability to knock down
shots and be a playmaker with and without the basketball.
And it's appropriate that I mentioned him because I'm really
proud of the progress that he is showing. He's gonna
earn his stripes he keeps playing this way. And my
(00:48):
knucklehead a nephew who interrupted my show earlier, all right,
he's sitting right here with me now. And you know,
everybody made news. You know, you're real popular over the
last week because you calling yourself the Bronnie James, you know,

nobody to perform here. Nobody. Why would I pay somebody

Speaker 3 (03:39):

Speaker 2 (04:17):
He ain't security like the money that's pay to.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I ain't gotta pay you today. That's it. I said,
I don't want to pay you today. So what I
was saying, where was that?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You don't even remember? You remember you.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Hosted the show because you're telling me I'm not getting
nothing for Christmas, and look at your gift.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
This ain't no damn gift. It's a curse. It's you
sitting there telling everybody we we rich well you and
don't have anything.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I don't we do.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I'm consistent since me too, consistently full of it. I
lost my money last night.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
How Steph Curry had two points? You was just talking
about it.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So you gambled.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I don't even consider that gambling pin.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
If you don't bet, you keep your money in your pocket.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
That's as good as not betting, Steph Curry for twenty
you're supposed to have that.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I blame Steve Kurr.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's an opinion. That's an opinion you being trying to
You're trying to be assertive like that. Where you get
that from?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I get that from. That's buddy Steve. Listen, Steve Kerr,
you're playing. You're not starting, Buddy Hill. Steph Curry needs
space when you're gonna say something. If it was if
it was a Doc Rivers, y'all be all down him.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, Steve Curves has four championship rings. So it's kind
of difficult to question a man that is going to
six NBA finals and it's one four. It's kind of
hard to do that.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
You're coaching the goat, so he good forever.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
So Steph Curry's to goat down? Oh to me, Oh,
it was Lebron.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You know why he's the go.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Just it's fluid fluid. It's fluid fluid.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And right now Steph Curry way and you know why
because we have Bron so high on the goat list.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
He's not on high my goal number, he's number two.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So the fact that Steph Curry has beaten somebody that's
in the run for the goat debate three times in
the finals, can Michael.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Jordan say that Michael Jordan's He's never beat the goat
because no one was.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It was that good.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
That good. We gotta let go, Michael. You're about to
get slapped. I'm about who you playing, Michael. Excuse me.
Michael Jordan was so great there was no one that
compared to him. See the point that I'm trying to
make to you that you have people in the Lebron
James era looking at Lebron James, wanting them wanting to
go at him because there was a debate as to
(06:38):
whether or not they were on that level, Kevin Durant,
Steph Curry, et cetera. With Michael Jordan's there was no debate.
It was him and nobody else, and everybody knew it.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
And that's what we're trying to tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
There was nobody else who's the best to Michael Jordan
ever have to play Jeff Horneysack Bob Marley.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Saying, your idiot, what about what about Isaiah? What about
Isaiah and Dumars? What about bird before that? What about
beating my Listen, this is Michael Jordan. His first title
was over Magic Johnson. His second title was against Portland
against Clyde drex Lando's crew. His third title was over
Charles Barkley, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson, another name. You don't
(07:19):
even appreciate what your young young wet behind the ars
bres Smeller like Simelax. Then he gets Lee's for a
full year, comes back with seventeen games left in the
second year, gets up getting bowed out by Shaq Pety Hardaway,
Nick Anderson, those Woods. What does he do there? After
he comes back for a second three pete. Okay, He
smashes them, goes to the finals. He wins. He beats Utah,
(07:43):
beat Seattle, beat Utah again, three pete. Carl Malone, Stockton,
Gary Payton, Sean Kemp, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
So?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Why have I not taught you enough?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You see something else? Everybody you just named? Who's a
deadter scorer in Kevin score it?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
That's all it is. The shoot, That's all it is.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
That the great shoot, greatest shoot of God.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
And that's who Broun gotta play. We got Kevin.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Durant, bron had Kyrie, and Kevin Love. I'm just saying
who you gotta go against. Michael Jordan ever played the best.
Nothing I'm saying to you. I'm saying to you.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
He was so phenomenal that it was universally understood. Nobody
was in his class. Whereas with Lebron, as great as
he is, there was a debate, once upon a time
is it him? Okad, there was a debate, once upon
a time is it him? With Steph Curry, you understand,
but there has never been a debate with Michael Jordan.
(08:44):
Michael Jordan was called God in Jim Shorts by Larry Bird.
I'm giving you facts. You want to change the subject
before we get out of here, because I got work
to do. I'm giving you. I'm giving you some shine.
You gotta change the subject for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Now I want to talk about because I wanted to
talk about this before. Nobody knows about this when we've
our last one on one game since you've been playing
basketball and step lately? Hear you?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You mean when I bust your ass and you had
and you need it?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And can I provide contexts before you It's two thousand
and five a mine in my business. I'm coming fashionably
late to the one barbecue he throws per year to
show off his pool. So I walk in and he like,
I bust Josh ass. I'm like, I just got here.
What happened were we talking about? We end up at
a park. You know, he started getting some money, but
(09:35):
he wasn't rich rich yet, so he was at the
park without the fence.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
So he's pushing me, filing me. Y'all know.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
He calls the era as soft as cart Now is
that what you said? That sounds like somebody that's gonna
fail you, right, he's filing me. I was up about
ten to two. I'm thinking this point game. I'm like, yo,
check point game, like point game games thirty two.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
So you're gonna so we're gonna lie on it with
the cameras. Roller, Josh, you came to the park with me.
I literally was beating you thirty to four, thirty thirty
for four, destroyed you. Excuse me. Your cousins were there
as eyewitnesses. Your cousins were excuse me, excuse me, I'm tired.
(10:20):
We did exactly. So what does it say to you
that fifteen years ago, seventeen years ago? Was it twenty five?
Nineteen years ago? Nineteen years ago? Okay, I'm still in
my late thirties. Okay, you are young whipper snapper approaching
twenty and I spaked you. You have never beaten me,
(10:40):
You can never mess with me. Answer this question. Has
there ever been a time that you've beaten me in
basketball ever? In your lifetime?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I mean, how many times it before?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Excuse me, excuse me. We played many many times over
the years with you growing up. Have you ever beaten
me ever ever? Well?
Speaker 2 (11:01):

just folding that.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, I beat you.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Before, So you're gonna lie? Yes, I did. Here's the deal.
You do understand that part of the gift of being
on camera is being authentic. People have to look at
you and know you ain't full of ship. They to
know that you're not lying.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
First of you said.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Easy easy, you could easy easy.
Speaker 3 (11:26):

I don't like how I'm being spoken about.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Josh, Josh, uncle Steve got bade me too. I played
once a year. Maybe maybe maybe as busy as I am,
because we know how busy I am. Okay, I will
step on the court and whip you.
Speaker 2 (11:47):

he was setting up the humble right now?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
All right, so you see what I'm saying right now?

back a little bit.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You switch ahead. He can't protect you from Uncle Steve.

I'm always gonna do for you. If I'm all doing
for you, I'm always gonna do for your cousin TJ, y'all, a,

You show up two hours late. You know, you want

a little hot in here too, ye T shirts. As
a matter of fact, I got yourself because and I
got a security on a company card.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
For you like that now in a return.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I wanna. I want to.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I want a Glowiller concert like a personal one, not
not not. I don't want to go to a concert.
I want her to come here and just perform. I
don't know how much it's gonna cost, but you got it.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I'm not paying for her to I'm not paying for
nobody to perform here. Nobody. Why would I pay somebody
to perform?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Is the hottest thing?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So what the fact that the matter is, that's free
publicity right there, and you stid it. You buy My
man's just standing like he's security and all of that.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I pay him company card. Then I want I want
the Jordan's.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Pause, introduce yourself to the audience. Man, Oh he's not Mike,
tell him this name.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
That's my security.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Caleb turned around so they can see the shirts, real security.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And that's so he is.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
He's family too. His dad is Vernon's one of my
best childhood buddies growing up. The Ravenel Sheilah and everybody
may Sha and everybody else. That's it. He's family.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
He ain't security like the money that's pay to.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I ain't gotta pay you today. That's it. I said,
I don't want to pay you today. So what I
was saying, where was that?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You don't even remember? You remember you.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Hosted the show because you're telling me I'm not getting
nothing for Christmas, and look at your gift.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
This ain't no damn gift. It's a curse. It's you
sitting there telling everybody we we rich well you and
don't have anything.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I don't we do.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I'm consistent since me too, consistently full of it. I
lost my money last night.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
How Steph Curry had two points? You was just talking
about it.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So you gambled.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I don't even consider that gambling pin.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
If you don't bet, you keep your money in your pocket.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
That's as good as not betting, Steph Curry for twenty
you're supposed to have that.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I blame Steve Kurr.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's an opinion. That's an opinion you being trying to
You're trying to be assertive like that. Where you get
that from?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I get that from. That's buddy Steve. Listen, Steve Kerr,
you're playing. You're not starting, Buddy Hill. Steph Curry needs
space when you're gonna say something. If it was if
it was a Doc Rivers, y'all be all down him.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, Steve Curves has four championship rings. So it's kind
of difficult to question a man that is going to
six NBA finals and it's one four. It's kind of
hard to do that.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
You're coaching the goat, so he good forever.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
So Steph Curry's to goat down? Oh to me, Oh,
it was Lebron.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You know why he's the go.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Just it's fluid fluid. It's fluid fluid.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And right now Steph Curry way and you know why
because we have Bron so high on the goat list.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
He's not on high my goal number, he's number two.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So the fact that Steph Curry has beaten somebody that's
in the run for the goat debate three times in
the finals, can Michael.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Jordan say that Michael Jordan's He's never beat the goat
because no one was.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It was that good.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
That good. We gotta let go, Michael. You're about to
get slapped. I'm about who you playing, Michael. Excuse me.
Michael Jordan was so great there was no one that
compared to him. See the point that I'm trying to
make to you that you have people in the Lebron
James era looking at Lebron James, wanting them wanting to
go at him because there was a debate as to
(06:38):
whether or not they were on that level, Kevin Durant,
Steph Curry, et cetera. With Michael Jordan's there was no debate.
It was him and nobody else, and everybody knew it.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
And that's what we're trying to tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
There was nobody else who's the best to Michael Jordan
ever have to play Jeff Horneysack Bob Marley.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Saying, your idiot, what about what about Isaiah? What about
Isaiah and Dumars? What about bird before that? What about
beating my Listen, this is Michael Jordan. His first title
was over Magic Johnson. His second title was against Portland
against Clyde drex Lando's crew. His third title was over
Charles Barkley, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson, another name. You don't
(07:19):
even appreciate what your young young wet behind the ars
bres Smeller like Simelax. Then he gets Lee's for a
full year, comes back with seventeen games left in the
second year, gets up getting bowed out by Shaq Pety Hardaway,
Nick Anderson, those Woods. What does he do there? After
he comes back for a second three pete. Okay, He
smashes them, goes to the finals. He wins. He beats Utah,
(07:43):
beat Seattle, beat Utah again, three pete. Carl Malone, Stockton,
Gary Payton, Sean Kemp, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
So?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Why have I not taught you enough?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You see something else? Everybody you just named? Who's a
deadter scorer in Kevin score it?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
That's all it is. The shoot, That's all it is.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
That the great shoot, greatest shoot of God.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
And that's who Broun gotta play. We got Kevin.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Durant, bron had Kyrie, and Kevin Love. I'm just saying
who you gotta go against. Michael Jordan ever played the best.
Nothing I'm saying to you. I'm saying to you.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
He was so phenomenal that it was universally understood. Nobody
was in his class. Whereas with Lebron, as great as
he is, there was a debate, once upon a time
is it him? Okad, there was a debate, once upon
a time is it him? With Steph Curry, you understand,
but there has never been a debate with Michael Jordan.
(08:44):
Michael Jordan was called God in Jim Shorts by Larry Bird.
I'm giving you facts. You want to change the subject
before we get out of here, because I got work
to do. I'm giving you. I'm giving you some shine.
You gotta change the subject for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Now I want to talk about because I wanted to
talk about this before. Nobody knows about this when we've
our last one on one game since you've been playing
basketball and step lately? Hear you?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You mean when I bust your ass and you had
and you need it?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And can I provide contexts before you It's two thousand
and five a mine in my business. I'm coming fashionably
late to the one barbecue he throws per year to
show off his pool. So I walk in and he like,
I bust Josh ass. I'm like, I just got here.
What happened were we talking about? We end up at
a park. You know, he started getting some money, but
(09:35):
he wasn't rich rich yet, so he was at the
park without the fence.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
So he's pushing me, filing me. Y'all know.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
He calls the era as soft as cart Now is
that what you said? That sounds like somebody that's gonna
fail you, right, he's filing me. I was up about
ten to two. I'm thinking this point game. I'm like, yo,
check point game, like point game games thirty two.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
So you're gonna so we're gonna lie on it with
the cameras. Roller, Josh, you came to the park with me.
I literally was beating you thirty to four, thirty thirty
for four, destroyed you. Excuse me. Your cousins were there
as eyewitnesses. Your cousins were excuse me, excuse me, I'm tired.
(10:20):
We did exactly. So what does it say to you
that fifteen years ago, seventeen years ago? Was it twenty five?
Nineteen years ago? Nineteen years ago? Okay, I'm still in
my late thirties. Okay, you are young whipper snapper approaching
twenty and I spaked you. You have never beaten me,
(10:40):
You can never mess with me. Answer this question. Has
there ever been a time that you've beaten me in
basketball ever? In your lifetime?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I mean, how many times it before?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Excuse me, excuse me. We played many many times over
the years with you growing up. Have you ever beaten
me ever ever? Well?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Were on TV? Yeah, I beat you? So sit here
just folding that.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, I beat you.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Before, So you're gonna lie? Yes, I did. Here's the deal.
You do understand that part of the gift of being
on camera is being authentic. People have to look at
you and know you ain't full of ship. They to
know that you're not lying.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
First of you said.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Easy easy, you could easy easy.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Now it's sound like you're gonna have to set that up.
I don't like how I'm being spoken about.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Josh, Josh, uncle Steve got bade me too. I played
once a year. Maybe maybe maybe as busy as I am,
because we know how busy I am. Okay, I will
step on the court and whip you.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I thought he was setting up the right I thought
he was setting up the humble right now?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
All right, so you see what I'm saying right now?
It's not even well. I wouldn't even waste my time.
You have never again, you have been on this How
old are you tell the audience? How old do you tell audience?
You are thirty six years of age? You have never

up the shade room and stuff that any question.
Speaker 2 (12:23):

back a little bit.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You switch ahead. He can't protect you from Uncle Steve.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
What just huh?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Go ahead, I'm giving you the chair. This is your last, boy,
come up with some subject that you could compete in.
Speaker 3 (12:38):

it's going to do good.

I'm always gonna do for you. If I'm all doing
for you, I'm always gonna do for your cousin TJ, y'all, a,
