Paul is back from his Mexico vacation and is ready to get after it with KG in this weeks episode of TICKET & THE TRUTH. In this episode, they kick things off by recapping All-Star weekend and having an honest conversation about the issues that need to be addressed moving forward. The duo also discusses Luka's incredible triple-double performance in his first game against the Mavericks, the Lakers’ continued dominance, and whether they’re a legitimate title contender. Should the top 3 teams in the West be worried about depth? Plus, what's going on with KD and the Suns? Of course, there's praise for the rising Detroit Pistons and Coach J.B. Bickerstaff’s impressive leadership. And they wrap things up with a candid conversation about why Jayson Tatum is still so under appreciated despite his elite play.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
So Tuesday night, Luca plays Dallas for the first time,
gets a triple double in the game.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
I ain't seen you since hous That's why I was
gonna ask them, did you watch any of the games
and stuff building up whatever? But yeah, I've been watching
the games. You check, you check that dollarsar gave me
all that ship. I did watch the All Star game,
Yeah I did. I don't really like the format. I'd
rather they just played East and West, you know what
I'm saying. Like I thought j Mom made a good
point about, you know, the young boys playing on Sunday

(03:10):
and all of that. You know, you got to earn
that right to be on that floor, which is real.
That was real spit. But I like to I'd rather
go back to the East West for man. I actually
think the league needs to tap into the fashion a
little bit. I think that what a gift. It was
too dragged on. I'm gonna say it was like the game,
it was too much of a production. I was kind
of you know how you kind of watching the game,

(03:31):
you doing stuff. And then they had a part where
they was like when uh, when Charles and Them was on,
they was I thought the game was over, you know.
I turned like I thought they was there for a minute.
I was like, damn, it's the game over. There was
I was like, it's a halftime. It was like no,
And then that was like it wasn't halftime and the
game wasn't over, and I was like, oh, damn it was.
They just took a break and I was just like, damn,

(03:52):
that's terrible. It just lasted too long. You know. The
protection was long, so you know, produced, Yeah, overproduced. I
really think that the league and Adam Silver should get
a union of former players like us a committee and
like talk to us and get some ideas, because I
think we can really help that situation, I think, and

(04:14):
some of the current players. Yeah, So I think if
we do that, we can come to like a board
where we talk about some ideas and kind of you know,
go into a room, slice it up and see see
what we can come up with. Let's keep it aware of man,
it ain't really on us speak. I think the NBA
needs to take some young guys. Take them in the room,

(04:36):
sit them down. I mean, how y'all want to do
the All Star game? You know this is their All
Star game? You know. Let me tell their player out
there too. Are you players who got product coming out?
Are you players who got shoes coming out? Got anything
cracking with yourself? Anything for your for your foundations, any philanthropy, anything, Bro?
Do you know how many people that are watching the

(04:57):
NBA in those four or five days from Thursday, I
mean probably from Wednesday all the way up to Sunday.
So the three point Contests, the Skills Challenge, and the
Dunk Contests are great platforms for you to get anything
off for free. You got you gotta man. Go back
and watch Michael Jordan do his first two dunk contests. Man,
he was in a Jordan track suit. He was selling

(05:17):
track suits through the air. And remember he had the
double gold change, Bro. He had he had the bands on.
You know what I'm saying. You had the the no
white band's on.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
He was that platform perpetuated everything else. And I think
for a second, don't off these young guys understand that
this is your platform, bro. Man. Jayden Jay Brown was
doing a bunch of stuff in Oakland, and he was.
He was active throughout the whole weekend activating. He was
activating his brand so much that shout the seven forty

(05:46):
one They fashion show they did. Bro, that's how you
take your advantage of All Star weekend. You go in
with a goddamn strategy. And if you looking at it like,
oh man, I don't want to go ahead there and
guess what you that guy? You don't have a brand
and you don't understand strategy, and you're not promote and
pushing your brand like you should. Bro, how you gonna
take off during the fund your highlight? Bro, this is
your week to be celebrated, other than when the game,

(06:08):
when the years over, we give out awards and this
to that thing. But other than that, Bro, this is
the time to celebrate. So I think honestly, they should
like do away with the game. No, man, take them all. Listen.
Let me tell you what I think they should do.
Listen to me, man, players go ahead, we're celebrating the players. Okay, Okay,
I keep I keeping. That's what I want the weekend

(06:28):
to be. So, so guess what just that though, give
them a wiek bro, The players still gotta work, bro,
then we go back in to play well Wednesday Thursday. Man,
I ain't no break, man, Listen, give the players stop
the games Wednesday Thursday to Thursday. That way, the players
who actually participated can go to their vacations Sunday night.
From the all starting point, be on vacation Sunday night,

(06:52):
fly to their respectable teams Wednesday, and get back to it. Bro.
When you put these players in the room, I want
you to hear it. They really got to say, Bro,
they really need a break and it's not a break
and they and you got it now to where like
I'm telling you an all real listic you need. That's
what I'm saying. It ain't even know when I think
about it, it ain't even got nothing to do with input.

(07:16):
It ain't got nothing to do. It's all on the
players just going out there. It's a mindset like do
y'all really want to play hard? Because don't tell me
when we was in the All Star Game, it wasn't
on the players. When I see Cole picking up Lebron
full court, like, listen, we go we all here. The
hoop's out there, We're out there the hoop. So now
if the players looking at the game like you know,

(07:36):
they really don't want to play. You know, I'm really
trying to protect my brand or I don't want to
get injured. If they think, all right, so look do
away at the game. Let's make this a special week
in an event. We'll have a big dinner, a festival.
We'll have a big dinner. Sponsors, you could come sit
at the table where lebron. This table costs you a

so what point do the players perform? And that's what
this is just like, ain't no Pro Bowl no more ticket.

I'm just trying to an idea though. This is just
the idea because we're gonna do this again. We're gonna
do this next. They will, they will. So remember I
was talking about the world is caught up. Listen to

(10:47):
this idea. Oh, we were just talking about how world
players are dominating our game two concepts. I think we
was ahead of. They're playing with the one on one idea,
which is called a lot of traction, and then the
world versus the American players. All right, if the one
on one, I like the one on one idea, but

(11:07):
it's got to be only the All Stars, the All
Stars playing they come on, man. Vonn was decent.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Wait, boy, shout to von Bonn was a great one
on one player like Paul used to like to play
one on one, and then he started playing Vonn and
he started killing von Confidence and then Vonn didn't want.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
To play one. I want to just the All Stars,
come on, man, and some guys that he can really play? Bro,
what's my boy? Up in Toronto? Quickly, quickly could get
a bucket in the ones. What's my boy? It's never scary, scary,
can get come on? Lord, you hear what I'm saying.
But the viewership want to see the All Stars go one.
So we got a g le Nigga winning the dunk contest. Lord,

(11:50):
all that ship and the old leads is gone. All
that ship we was talking to, man, that's gone. Man.
People want to see some ship, but I want to
see it from the stars.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
And stars spoke up about a Kyrie. Johannis and Harden
all said if one on one thing came to Fruition,
they would be interested.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
The boy is gonna go. You want to see it, okay,
So but I want to see it from the stars.
You know what I'm saying. I want to see John
more Ramp versus Kyrie. Like, you know what I'm saying.
I want to see you can't do three dribbles, dude,
Like we want to see the bad I want to
see fuck it, just make the box. And I want
to see James Harden versus Luca. You know what I
want to see? That word I want to see Let's

(12:26):
go to that bag man, like, Like, that's what I
want to see. I want to see Craig. We need
a shot clop seven second shot clop? Uh yeah, five
seconds is good. Five seconds seconds, five seconds, five seconds,
five seconds. Remember we used to do that five we
catched the ball. We used to do that practice five
seconds go because you gotta get one of these off.
I gotta get you. I gotta get five seconds one

(12:48):
of these I gotta get off because then but I
get that off, you're gonna go and that Now I
got you all fucked up. We're gonna put five spots
on the floor. Start that ship. Oh you get to
pick the spot. Yeah, like you gotta score like that.
You got to like top of the key you want
to you can choose top of the key elbow, elbow, elbow,
elbow wing. Yeah, what you're getting to that. When you

(13:12):
get to that, I'll get You'll get you the elbow.

where you're going. Let me get doing this time. Yeah,
let me get that right there? Who I gott get
this right over the right right. You can choose your
spot and then you're gonna have to strategize right right. Yeah,

(13:33):
So let me say something and then that you have
what if you got like two defensive what if you
got a defensive Player of the Year award where you
can kind of bump the line, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah, eight of these twelve guys that I have internationally
listed were all stars this year, saying and then like
Embi didn't make it because he was hurt, and and
Luca didn't make it because he was hurt, thinking.

About all the guys that made Quie didn't make it
a fucking.

Speaker 6 (16:25):
Trade American side.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
There's a lot of guys that didn't make it that,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (16:31):
More American players would get snubbed if there was only
twelve spots.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
But yeah, but the world, you.

Speaker 6 (16:35):
Could fill out twelve easy.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
You can get twelve all stars in the world. Facts

Murray and Jamal Murray.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
And then I mean Kyrie said he would play for
Australia in the Olympics, so he could he could represent
the world that you wanted to and Karl Anthony Towns
as well.

Speaker 1 (16:53):

Speaker 6 (17:39):
Brok Star Power World.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
That's hey, listen, that's a crazy ass game. We're still
gonna be relying on bron curry On. They're seventy years old.
We got hey, y'all got to stay at least for
five years. What is going on? Now? What we got
to tell you? Them?

Speaker 6 (18:00):
Brown, the Younger Hya.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Anthony Anthony Guards, We got Guard playing, the Edwards we
got Guard play.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
We we're gonna have to bring up Cooper, Cooper Flag,
Cooper Flag. We have to bring him up for the Americans.
And man, you gotta get out of here. Man. We
need some pee. We gotta get some little peas.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
Man.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
There's a big man out here.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
Man.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Man, we need some big man out here. Man, no
big man. Man. Throw that thing a party, man. Man,
let's get it man, Let's get them. Man. We need
some little peas out here. Man. That's over. It's over.
Shops close shop close, damn. Listen, real talk. We are
really outweighed. I'm listening to what we're saying. We're really

(18:43):
out weigh man. Holy ship. But this year, though, year,
think about this, though, this year the draft, we're gonna
finally get an American player at the top of the draft. Now, dude,
gonna be the number one pick, right, It's either gonna
be him or Bailey. Yeah, Like when the last time
we had American number one pick, who.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
Carol Anthony Edwards?

Speaker 1 (19:05):
That was like three years ago, last two, last three
or four years, that's two years it was Windy and
your man. Yeah, there's been a few years though, it's
the last number one pick. Cooper looking good too, shout
the Cooper fly doing this thing. Man had a good
game in Miami.

Speaker 6 (19:22):
I want to ask you about the Lakers should be
on the Lakers?

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (19:25):
You see him the other night they played the Masks.
You think did it hold up? Did it hold up
to her? To what you thought it was? Your thoughts
on it? Well, initially I was like, how is this
gonna work? But like it's looking like if you keep
the ball in Luca hands and let him kind of
be the distributor, and and and let Lebron, you know,

(19:46):
kind of roam around, run the break, cut slash, go
for lives, which he's better at Luca than doing, it's
looking like they developed some chemistry fast. I mean, this
is going to be a dangerous team come playoffs, because
when I look at the teams up top. You got
youngins up there, hardly no experience, not like them. So like,

(20:08):
if I got to put money on Lakers versus OKC,
or Lakers versus Memphis, or Lakers versus Houston, I mean
I gotta roll with the Ogs on that one because
they they didn't been in deep waters of the playoffs
and those bright lights ain't gonna get to them. So
the only threat I think is is Denver, who I'll

(20:31):
be like a little bit like, all right, Denver got
experience and I know, but then y'all just malade Denver
look like nothing smoked them. He was in Cleveland again. Yeah,
so seven dunks. I mean, this is the Lakers are
looking scary.

Speaker 6 (20:46):
Two out from second place.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
They're twelve and three over the last fifteen, best record
over that stretch, and their top ten in offense and
defense over that same stretch.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, they looking like a real threat in the West
because I don't see the teams in front of them
with the with the with the experience. Outside of Denver,
because they got the best player in the league, you
know they gonna be a thread and then ya, but
see Luca can cancel him out all across the board.
Then you got Bron, and then you got Bron. Bron's second.

(21:15):
It's gonna be hard to match your guy up with
your second. What gets that then the second best player?
Damn if he your second, if Bron is your second
best player, or the championship team the West is in
trouble because I'm looking at everybody else second best player.
So when I look at ok see who they second

(21:36):
best player, Doug j dub or check, I'm taking Bron.
So now you look at who else Memphis? Who they
second best player? Jay Jack? Yeah, I mean in the
and in the gap between everybody else's second best player.
The gap between Bron and them is way up here.
That's gonna be crazy. And Lakers third best player reeve

(22:00):
he's averaging a dub He activated, he activating, he.

Speaker 7 (22:04):
Thinks he him Bro He out here like all right,
oh y'all, go oh, I got the ice sold y'all
ain't helping y'all just as good as all the top
teams second best.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Player, saying Bross got confidence right now? Bro, he playing
like I'm him. He got thrown out the other night
because they ain't call someone. We saw that. We called
the fucking five man to They was like, why are
you tripping? I'm just it's so many teams. I'm disappointed.
Inn though, let it go here like you like you wish,
you wish that, like then I wish like Phoenix can
bring me something. I like go to State now, like

(22:36):
watching old girl walk on the door and you're still
looking and you're still looking and you're still looking like
you want to run after it and get it like nahn' bro,
you keep on looking though, right So, but I like
what I'm saying from Golden State. Hold on if you
k D right now, you shut it down. What you're
playing for? Pete? Nah, they still got a shot to
get in the plan he damn twelfth.

Speaker 6 (22:59):
Uh They're they're in the place right now. They're two
and a half back out of being in a player.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
You know what I'm saying. And you know what kind
of you know what you got to have the actually
make that run. They don't listen you know what that
run is? Like? Bro, everybody drool him. Why isn't that working? Bro?
Why isn't it is it? Like chemistry? Ain't there bro?
That that that that has been Listen when I saw
Devin Booker trying to consolidate that last year. Bro, this

(23:26):
he coming down anything. What's going on with the point guard?
Bro that it didn't work. Bro, it's over. They're not
They don't even look like they like. Then you tell
a guy like Bill who was one of our superstars,
or at least I thought he was in that category
right now, you bring him off the bench and he's

(23:47):
just trying to Okay, I'll do that, coach, but you
kind of beat his brand up with that, and just
like he was the problem. I don't I don't know
what's going on. I watched trade him. He was in
trade rooms and he was like, fucked him up. Yeah,
that fucked him up. I'm doing everything and y'all asked
me to do it. Then y'all threw me in up.
But that's the business of it, right. But at one
point do you go, okay, this's over, Jamaine Jones and

(24:07):
sit down. Look we're done. Like this is where we're at.
That's conversation is a real conversation right now, Bro, ten games,
I'm saying, then, so you know what kind of grit
you gotta have to make a run? I don't see
that from them when they come out, So now that
trade I was talking about before the trade there line,
I don't like that one. You don't like that one, man, Bro, Katy,
Katy the okay? See that Katie the okay. See So

(24:29):
when you just said what you said like five minutes
ago about non experience, that's the reason I would do that.
That's what I was talking about. That's what That's what
I was like. I was like, give them that experience.
That's why. Now it's like, I think about it. If
they had Katie instead of check, guess what, they got
a lot of pieces thet.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
K.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Do you want to go back there? Why wouldn't he?
That's where it started, That's where he wanted MVP. That
would be a good to end your career there. That's
where they're gonna retire your journey. I lived in Brooklyn,
you know there San Francisco. Yeah, but this is the
last few now, man, that's a that's a different life though. Bro,
you know, he go there and win a chip, they're
gonna be able to statue of you know what I'm saying,

(25:10):
Like that would be the move this summer. If they don't, okay,
see don't win this summer, I'll try to make that movie,
and then that's a smart move for everybody, for everybody.
But then Phoenix takes so on some younger assets then
helps their future. The fish kind of better with Devin exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I like that one. Now that makes sense then, pe
because if you don't have enough experience to be able
to get over think about it that you confident in. Okay,

(25:33):
see in a in a in a in a in
the Western Conference finals with the Maths or Lakers versus Lakers.
But if they had KD you like, I don't like
them to get the Maths. That's what I'm saying, healthy maths. Man. Listen,
nobody's talking about a healthy mass nigga, a healthy math
you know what I'm saying. Like, Man, listen, the MAVs

(25:54):
probably are the scales right now. If they can get
back healthy for the last fifteen games. Listen, it's gonna
be box office. I won't I want March Luca in April,
Luca April Luca. Bro look at you, Bro, He ain't
even Bro bros on the push ups yesterday. Bro, you
saw that Bro's on the push ups. Bro's on the
push ups. Bro, He's watch this. He ain't even hit

(26:18):
he in third gear right now, Bro, he ain't even
in fifth and we're dealing with a sixty five here.
Matter of fact, we deal with a bout Gotti here.
You know what I'm saying, he ain't probably second. He
coasted man. He making a triple man. He made a
triple devil. Look simple, bro, you know what I'm saying.
Look at bron brother like he back in Cleveland or something.
Got because listenly we was like, all right, this move

(26:40):
is for the long run. No, this move, this move
is for the now. This move is for the now. Listen,
give me twenty give me, give me fifteen games with them,
ten to twelve games, fifteen games something like that, and
then watch bro, Uh, he's gonna be in better shape
by the time he make it back to uh Dallas,
and then watched that perform. That's the perform I really
wanted chripping over this. I'm expecting when you go back

(27:01):
when they play Nate, they go.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
To Dallas in April. The Lakers go to Dallas in April.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
That's gonna be a meaningful game, that's gonna break the internet.
That's gonna because back in Dallas. Yeah, but then hopefully
a d get healthy. We're saying all things lively, Yeah,
all three just what gaffer gaff lively and and I
saw three causes of what it looked like. I saw
three cars of what it can look like. Yeah, listen,

(27:28):
that's gonna be much watch TV. Are they expected to
all come back at some point?

Speaker 6 (27:32):
Yeah, they're they're being re evaluated. Gaffers, I would say.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
On the court yesterday, he's ahead of schedule, all three
of ahead of schedule, lively, ahead of schedule. They're gonna
be re evaluating a week and a half.

Speaker 6 (27:44):
Ad was out there warming up yesterday, that good sign.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Shout to the Lakers giving him a great you know
what I'm saying, that was a dope ovation. And and
and congratulatory to him. You know what I'm saying. He's
done a lot for the Lakers. That was good.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Look, next question I have for you guys, can any
of the top seeded teams in the West get upset
in the first round of the playoffs? As they look
at it right now, Golden State is in that in
that window where the talking Golden State.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
He ain't said nothing of my Golden State.

Speaker 6 (28:10):
Bro six and one since getting Butler.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
See you remember this shit he was talking about what
he said about experience. Golden State another team you don't
want to you don't want to see them. It feels
like to me that these extra players that's came in here,
Ashley has activated either Steph Curry or Butler, right, and
then look at Bron Lucas activated, and then Luca don't

(28:34):
even have to be in sixth gear. Look at look
at Steph. Steph don't even really have to be in
that gift you' want, you know what I'm saying, Like
Jimmy don't have to be in fifth and sixth gear. Man,
they really are at a real nice pace and a
nice throttle to where when you need them for the
for the playoffs and you need that push. But that's
what I'm seeing. I'm seeing these I'm seeing superstars get
not only a joke, as you would say, but another

(28:56):
level or another another juice, you know what I'm saying.
I'm just I ain't confident at the guys at the top. Yeah,
I ain't experience wise. Yeah, it's scary because that's what
Bron knows how to get into the Bron and Steph
Curry know how to get into the you know, you
know who I can't put a finger on right now
on who they are Rockets, the Wolves. Oh yeah they Wolves.

(29:20):
But they just had that great win versus come back.
So now that's telling me like, y'all can be something.
Y'all can got to be consistent though, Yeah, it ain't consistent, right,
can't go in there and get beat by a Portland
team and can't going to Utah games you post to win.
But yeah, think about it. They're playing without Julius random,
they're playing without Big Bear. You know, go Beart is

(29:43):
not there? Is he done for the even chance? Those out?
Like what's going on with them? They hurt?

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Like are they scheduled to come back this year? Are
they out for the season? It's not out, but they hurt.
I think Julis Randal's getting ready to come back and
then that's probably a couple of weeks. But like, what
do you do when Julius come back? Because nas Reed
look good out there. You gotta playnaves Man, he gotta start,
You gotta gotta yeah, you put them to and then
that big fella come off the bench. You know what
I'm saying, Like, these guys are hurt. You can't just

(30:09):
put some back in. Man. Yeah, Minniesoula looks different, but
their team is different. It's not it's not ran like
we're a customed seeing it. And you know what chemistry
you know if you look at it. Man, they are
locking a bunch of young players that they got over there.
You know what I'm saying, McDaniel's they locked you un locker.
What's thet left handed, light skinned kid with the dreads
he came in game some great energy. Man. His left

(30:31):
handed kid played for the walls man number tweeny two
or something like that. I'm going blank on his name.
But they got some young players. Bench off the bench, man,
they got some young players. They came in and just
games with Alexander Alexander Clerk, Jayden Clark number twenty two.
He just he just energy. But man, I love his play. Yeah,

(30:52):
they got some wing players that I like the Tea Wolves.
Man just gotta this is to be the most open
Western conference I've seen in a long time. You think
it's gonna be open, I mean as good as as
good as Okay s is. They might be seeing Golden
State in the first round.

Speaker 6 (31:10):
Like that's what I was kind of asking.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Scary, That's like I got definitely some teams to get popped,
but it's also gonna make these younger teams grow up.
You gotta go through seriously just like this to be
you know this right this part of learning right here.
Golden State, I do not want that in the first round.
That's scary. Damn. I do not want Golden State in
the first round. You know what I'm saying. Denver either
Denver had a before the Lakers meet them. People didn't

(31:36):
know Denner was on a ten game winning streak. Bro
nine game that was crazy. Right now, Denver would play Clippers. See,
that's what I'm saying. This Western somebody, this Western Conference
might have a couple of upsets in the first round.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
And Memphis would play Minnesota right now, if it's state, That's.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
What I'm saying. I don't know who to pick out
of these teams you're picking in the Memphis Minnesota, Man,
I don't know, Like I want to say Memphis, but
if Minnesota get healthy, it's like, damn okay if they've
been deep playoff runs. But so Memphis, Anthony Networks and
JJ are we saying Anthony Edwards in job are your

(32:15):
best players? Who is your second player? So Julius Randall
and Jay the third is your right, who's your third?
Deepon Chinzo bang? And that's a good see that might
guess what they got deep bitches, they got a right matchup.
Before we go into this year, we should we should
do like a little segment where we go through we

(32:36):
get at the end of the year. I want to
postmarked this off from the church. But when we get
to the end of the year, we're gonna we're gonna
do like a little special on all the matchups. That's
that's a little rip, you know what I'm saying. That
would be a fun series to watch, right, That'll be
who would the Rockets play? All right, let's see the
Rockets would play right now, they would play the Lakers?
Who you were taking that series? See see bro Well,

(32:59):
I'll take the Lakers in that series. But listen, because
the Lakers struggle with like in two weeks like quick guard. Yeah, fast,
fast play, but they play fast, but they ain't got
the cars that can break you down, Like Van Vlida
is a good guard, but they struggle against like the Morants,
the like the you know them guards that can really
break you down. Yeah, I can really break you down.

(33:20):
I would I got speed and stuff, so like you
know so, but we'll see though, I don't know. It's
wide open up here. That's a playoffs, so crazy, it's
wide open.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Down here, dog, So maybe a playing a playing game
watch and then after that the playoffs would be set
after the last playing.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Man, Listen, I'm looking. I know we got March madness,
and you know college is gonna be on tilt. But
as soon as April first get here, bro, it's over.
And then guess what, nobody's given none of these teams this.
We're gonna let's come back in March fifteenth and revisit
this conversation. And we're gonna let's take a picture of
the West and what it looks like now, and let's

(33:58):
come back in March fifteenth to see what looks like.
You're much shifting. Eat. People don't talk about the Lakers momentum.
The Lakers are on a big ass wave from Hawaii
right now, riding and ship out of it. You feel
Lakers can go all the way up to number two.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
You have there are two games out of being number two.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Bro, that they looking like they want to be a
two seed in the East doing anything. Man, we are
we scared of me? Are you watching Cleveland? Are you
scared of Cleveland yet? Are you scared of Cleveland? Not
really scared? Are you scared of Cleveland? No, that's because
Cleveland scared of Cleveland. For Boston, I don't know that
that was a good trade though. That was a great trade.

(34:34):
That was a great trade road for them. Yeah, because
you picked up a bigger wingman to guard against the
athletic wings of the self. He ain't no feeling that
was a great trade, right, I didn't even know if
they was looking to trade him, Bro, Like, he really talk,
can be a really really good checking on your team.

(34:55):
That's a two man racing man. He's Cleveland in Boston
up here here and didn't like here's everybody else's kind
of like it's blue Orlando out by thirty almost Yeah,
like Cleveland blue out New York and then Boston blue
out New York, which is the third seed black New
York is just a tier two tiers below.

Speaker 6 (35:15):
Then they got the filters, like you said, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
They Instagram models, bro highlight, Yeah, you see, yeah, they
using the filters. When you see them in person and
you wing line up and what you think make up broke. Yeah,
it's all like damn, oh you was had there was
Oh that was a red gummy wrapper under your high heels.
I thought that was red Bobs. You stepped you stepped

(35:38):
on some Starbucks. Yeah, oh wow, okay wowst the top
three cut.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
I want to bring up an Eastern Conference team ticket
you've been big on them. Is the Detroit Pistons you
know you watching?

Speaker 1 (35:58):
I love listen. Yeah, it's a couple of coaches of
the year out here. Who you give him? The JB
JB's in there, but then you gotta give jj jj
Reddick is in there if they get the Kenny with

(36:18):
with Kenny for Show, Kenny with the calves Bro he got,
he got galling in spite of the definitely JB for Show.
JB j B should get it. Bro, he should be
like hands him and Kate Cunningham, Kate Conehana should get
a couple of wards and don't even know where they are.
Like he's gonna get most improved, he should get most improved.
But Bro, I'm talking we should we should, like we
need another award just like his his his growth making.

(36:41):
He should make all NBA his growth.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
The way he's not made All NBA. He should, bro,
I'm talking about second team.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
He's top ten in scoring, in top five and assists,
and they've won more games this year than the previous
two years.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Can buy. Yeah, he should be in All NBA. He's
like Brandon roy reincordinated, right, he like he got he
got it. He got a got a little bit of
your game because he patient and you can't speed him up.
And why you don't think he's strong enough? Man, He'll
lay your ass. I seen him lay some mother for
us for game on the left. I seen him dunkle
motherfucking you know what I'm saying. I like young fella.

(37:14):
I like you and your dr ass up.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
Man.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
He a quiet, two way smooth like I think I'm
looking at the point guard of the next Olympics. Yeah, hey,
you can forget he's six five. You forget he's six
six with it and he got a MIDI. Yeah, but
the guard, the guard position is in the is in
a good place, man, The guards in the biggest Man.
Is he the best point guard? Is he the best

(37:37):
point guard in the East? Ain't gonna say that. He
right there? He up there, dame, it's probably damn still. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah he up that op. I ain't ain't.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Up there.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
He up there. I like young fella and he compete, Bro,
he's gonna be backing down Franz Wagner France Flence is
more too. We yeah, yeah, yeah he had too.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
The next thing I want to ask you about. Tatum
had an article in the Washington Post. He asked about
if he felt appreciated. He said, honestly no, And he said,
if you just put my resume blind with no name
on it, you know, I think people would feel differently.
Why do you feel like Tatum is so criticized after
being All NBA Champion, all of.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
That, all these plays for Boston. It's just what it is.
Every player like through Boston. Even Larry Bird was underappreciated.
You know what I'm saying, because at one point he
was the best player in the league, but it was
always magic. Even though Matchic is my favorite player, it's

(38:40):
just playing for Boston. Boston is the most hated franchise,
hated team in all the sports, in all of basketball
for sure. Like the guy has been the six conference finals,
bro in eight years, in eight years, two finals. Like
if you match that up with like Kd's and all
the stars. They didn't do that, you know what I'm saying,

(39:02):
They didn't like even like what Luca been to one finals,
two conference finals, this dude have been the six conference finals.
He's twenty six years old. Think about that, Like he
just don't get his due. You know, he's probably the best,
Like I said, like last year he was the best
American player. I still think that. It's just I don't know,

(39:27):
maybe because he's not flamboyant, and you know, he's private
and he don't talk shit or you know, he's not
demonstrative out there. I don't know, you know, he don't
bring attention to hisself, you know, and that's why people
gravitate to her, like Jah Anthony Edwards because you know,
so what he like, he more liked the wing Tim
duncan you know what I'm saying, That's just what it is.

(39:51):
You know, I don't know. I concur he's not flashy, Yeah,
J J J. T is just straight to it, you know,
and like Paul said, he don't give you a bunch
of additives. I really be feeling like he'd be such
in his own world and locked into what he's doing
that I don't think nothing else matters, you know what

(40:13):
I'm saying. Yeah, I agree with him. When you see
his body of working the patches and all the stuff.
They yeah, he's like, damn, we forget that. He's just
on pace. Yeah, we forget one of the all time greats,
like all time. He keep this pace up, it's gonna
be ridiculous, man, it's a crazy pace. Like think about
the things. He's been a part of Western Eastern Conference finals.

(40:35):
He's been to the finals. He's been in real great games.
He's had to you know, he's played like shit in
some of them he's been the hero and some of them.
Like that type of growth, Bro, you can't you can't
speed up add on man Like like man, every every
player that's either his age or younger or right at
his age, wish they had the kind of career that

(40:55):
he's had. He's won early. I remember Rondo telling us
rember Rondo shot that at us, Man, not one already.
Like our perspectives of where we were, we think we
were thirty two thirty plus whatever. Rono then was twenty
one twenty. You know what I say, they had they
had one already, JT.

Speaker 6 (41:10):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
The first thing you do when you get in the league.
You got this list of stuff you want to become
All Star, all this other stuff there. As you get
to like number three, it starts becoming like some MVP. Also,
like shit, you really gotta go into another level. Right,
guess what's on there around here? If not on top
of us winning a championship, he tweeted, tweet said he
can cross that off all Star crossing. That's a bunch

(41:32):
of stuff. He's not crossed off this list. Yeah. Now
if he's on what I'm thinking he's on, he's like
in legendary. Well, I don't think he's ever gonna be
considered for MVP because of the type of team he's on.
And you know what we do, We will actually not
give him a knock on that for playing on a
great team, right when we used to actually say that

(41:53):
the best player on the best team is the envy, right,
you know what I'm saying. And that's all in the
wash again we're looking through this new lens. And then
on top of it, look at Joker. Joker's not polished.
Jokeer's not like flamboyant, but he don't give you a bunch.
But man, man, you take him every time. That's what JT.
He is equivalent to what Joker is in the West.

(42:14):
You look at JT's stat line, you're like, God, Damn,
JT got money. You see so many things he's doing.
I told you last week, man his bag and I
got deeper. Mate. He looks stronger. But dam I'm here
for business. I ain't here for nothing else. Keep the
confetti now, let's get to the business. What the town
Ben said. Let's get that work here, all right? Cool?
Call him out. You don't see him in a bunch
of videos. You don't see him. Lord, I love how

(42:36):
he is. Hey, you know what, it's hard to establish
what he's actually created privacy in the non private world
where everything's accessible. Bro, people want more from him and
he won't give it to him. That's why we ain't
got him in everything, because he ain't given us. And
they want to have deuce on this left. Every time
he do something, show up at deuce. We want to interduce. Nah,

(42:57):
he got a word. You gotta do that because if not,
this world will eat you up.

Speaker 4 (43:02):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
This machine or wanting more this machine or give it
to me now this microwave machine. JT say, how you are, bro.
The realms respect you, and we see it. And what
you're doing is classic. I hope all the young boys
take a page out of your book and be a
little more private and then actually take take advantage of
their brand and do the things they want to do.
JT is a model. He has his own shoe with Jordan.

(43:25):
He's established himself in the financial world. Him and JT
has been both promoting financial literacy. Man, they got their
own brands and shit they doing. May as a father
great example. Hell yeah, he out here living different. He'll
he here, bru here grown men with it. You got kids, bro,
he not here. You know what I'm saying. So I
get it. So that man shot to JT, and I

(43:46):
think he does get his Just do it. It's just
like Paul said, in that environment where everybody else talking
to sid and you know what, you know who ain't
heard from. I ain't heard nothing about Miami. I ain't
heard a motherfucker. So I don't know what's going on
in min I don't know the weather on offs, rain't
on the sun out. Since Jimmias left, we ain't talking.
I ain't heard nothing about Miami left. You hear what
I'm saying. So, I'm saying that maybe some of the

(44:08):
things that we're all in love and chuck up on
the on the desktop four ain't really what that is
for him. He ain't emo. He actually come to work,
get it done, and he out of here. I love it, man,
So yeah, big up to you, j T. Look all
that extra ship broke straight up. I love it.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
Speaking of the Celtics, Celtics City, the documentary series from
HBO comes out one day March third.

Speaker 6 (44:31):
You guys were a part of that experience getting interviewed
in it.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
What was that?

Speaker 6 (44:34):
What was that experience like for you guys?

Speaker 1 (44:36):
How was it for you? Pete? I don't remember. Keep
It one Hunting it was so long ago. Keep It
one Hunt it was so long about a couple of
years ago. One of the tweetest teams we did. We
did that. This ship gonna be hard. I'm to work

(45:00):
out of respect for the people that have laid here before. Yeah,
that's a little crazy to say it. That's so deprive.
That's what it's all.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
The first game in Boston, player walks up to me said,
don't come all these retired numbers championship banners.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
I just thought this was normal, and then you go
to other arenas and then you quickly realize that.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
It's not the same thing. Sign on the left rome
and sometimes I just want to spit at his base.
This year, hey, listen, this year the first and listen.
You just said that most hated, Yeah, that most hated that.
What was the classic? Just a classic? Larry Bird carried

(45:45):
the city on. There's no way you could have charried
he was going to be the savior one way or
the other, or how many you got things that last?
But truth, the Boston Celtics have to be central to
the city of Boston and the players who played the
Celtics Captain Bild like Celtics in Boston's or rough lights.
The bottom line is wasn't all ice cream and cherries.

(46:08):
You have to tell the whole story. Wow, every team
that's hung a batter that's gone through something. This letter
was sent to the garden and it was a threat
against Bill's life and the kids.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
Flent biased with this world in front of him gone
Reggie Lewis and he said his career maybe over.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
He's thinking not again. Cole Piers get stabbed multiple times,
almost dies, but a lot of things happening outside there.
Ain't that a little difficult. But the time I spent
in the locker room on the floor of my teammates,
it was like, Heaven, brow Dawn, that's gonna be left.
I'm walking through that door, fans kettle, the Chel's not

(46:49):
walking through that door, and Robert Parrish is not walking
through It was kind of fonding. What reduplicate. Your greatest
thing you could accomplish is been ship. Thank you, Boston,
I love you. They don't know each other's story because
it's all part of their story. The Celtics are a

(47:11):
way of life and not just the team. Team that
is Celtics. Oh that's gonna be this weekend. Ohn coming
out in the moon and oh damn it hard I
gat me some chills right there. Had shout to Max Man,

They got everyone to be a part of it. Larry
Bird's in it, you guys are in it. Everyone's in it.
So just be excited, man, wait to see that the
light of fire to this team to go get nineteen
or like, what do you guys feel you know, I hate.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
To put it like this. You could probably test it
this more than I can. And my my six years
it was it's really a lifestyle. Bro Like when you
when you are outside of the Celtic family, you you
look at it how everybody else was looking at it,
and it's almost like looking into Tiffany's you know what
I'm saying, and you're causing the fog, And when you
go inside and you're on the inside looking out, it's

(48:15):
a whole nother feeling. It's a lot of love. It's
a real not just a fan base, but it's a
it's a it's a it's a lifestyle and belief that hey,
your grandfather before, Like, it's so much tradition that's passed
down with it that when you when you tap into
somebody that's a real Celtic fan or somebody that's been
working with the Celtics. I've been around this all the time,
you feel it. It's like living in a small town.

(48:37):
In a small town just keeps growing and growing. Then
you end up going to Brooklyn and it's a ton
of Celtic fans that you go to Denver, it's a
bunch of tons. It's a ton of fans that you
go to la it's a ton of Celtic fans there.
We went to London, there was a bunch of Irish
Celtic fans there and you're like, bro, what the what
the fuck? Yeah, I look at it like it's a

(48:57):
way of life. Bro. I looking at it like when
you become part of Celtic lore, it's like a fraternity.
You know what I'm saying that you can't join. You
can't join it, you know what I'm saying. And it's
just like damn everywhere you go because this tradition that
you were part of. It's only certain franchises that have

(49:20):
these type of fraternities, you know, like like in sports period,
you know, Yankees, the Cowboys, Barcelona, you know, yeah, Barcelona's
certain ones around the world that have this type of
fraternity that's like it can't be broken. Yeah, you know
what I'm saying. And once you become part of that lure,
it's forever, like it's forever remembered, it's forever appreciated, it's forever,

(49:48):
you know, it's forever you know, and even like me
living in La you know, you know, people like you know,
I hated you, but I respected you and love what
you brought because you played with Boston. You know what
I'm saying. It was just like it's a high level
of respect, you know, regardless, you know, we were always
the bad guys, the good guys never always the most.

(50:13):
But you're doing something well when you hate it, you
know what I'm saying. Like people are starting to hate
for starting to hate the Chiefs because they were turning
into something because they was they turned it, you know,
my homes turned into turned them into a tradition now,
you know. And everybody can't be a part of it,

(50:33):
you know, and I'm happy to be a part of it.

getting tired now, they getting tired. They tired, their college

(52:50):
joint ain't working, Bro, It's the second half of the season.
This is this is that, this that marathon when you

this way. He was running. Now many I said that
they had the worst time. They all playing thirty eight forty.
You do right now, though you can't chop whatna show

(53:12):
you're gonna have. You're gonna have to show some confidence
in some of these other cats, just to say their
legs for the playoffs, it's gonna be impossible or it's
gonna be tough watching them try to make a deep
run in the playoffs. Now, when you get the playoffs,
you know that grind man. They they I see them
slip it like second round. It might be second round.

(53:32):
Can't get it because they're gonna have to see the
Celtics or Cleveland. So what do you do if you're
if you're the Knicks, you fall to a three? Try
to get to the three? Now, okay, so what do
you do? Get to a four or five? It don't matter,
you don't matter. You're gonna have to get that right
there you have, You're gonna have to swim what it is.
So you'd rather see Cleveland or the buzz Hu. I mean,

(53:55):
Cleveland just beat them by thirty, Like it's looking bad,
Like I don't they looking like they not confident versus
neither one of the teams right now, you know what
I'm saying, Like if the bully beat you up like
four or five times, you like you're gonna walk a
different direction, You're gonna take a different bus. Like I
don't know I got another answer for that, but I

(54:18):
mean they just I mean, what you're gonna, You're gonna.
They're just not ready right now. This ain't they got.
They gotta We'll see though it's the playoffs. Anything can happen,
you know, anything can happen, But they just they not
