You like it? You like the first That ship was chilling.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
The trailer fire, it was chilling, bro Like, just to
see that, you know, you get a glimpse of Bill
Russell's story. And and Red and Red was a gangster.
At that point, Red said he punished the owner.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Did you see that? You know? I was?

Speaker 3 (03:44):
I was, like, he said. He ran down to the floor.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
First, asked him, Hey, what have you learned in life

You certified, certific certified, certuf certified, CERTAFIC, certain certain certified certain.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's a green summer. Yeah, we built different. He ain't
watching the games like I'm watching again.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
You're outside, we're alive, fluid.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
That's when you stopped the production that we know back
that we want.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Man, Yeah, that was that was all time killer, Like
just to get like the foundation, you know, uh.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
He had to establish that, bro.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Think about his will to establish a culture and then
still there you feel me like every coach, every GM,
every president that's came under that has had that line
that oh this is what this is the president.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Bro, it ain't gonna be like red stuff. Like he
didn't care about the rules. I'm in the arena smoking
a cigar and looking a cigar.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
He punched the owner.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
He was like, I'm gonna take the first black player
and then I'm gonna get another one. We're gonna do
it like this. He just changed the whole game and
laid the foundation for what the league is today. Bro,
he laid the whole foundation. Bro, it should be more
respect put on red straight up. After I saw all that,
just his will and tenacity to.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Just push them, push the line, pushed all of it,
you know what I'm saying, And it was like whoa
I really think that he took his privilege p and
just and just took it to another level for where
I didn't think at one point when he came to
win and he didn't see color at least, I don't
think he you know, put it.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
In the always looked out and it was like always
was giving those black guys advice. Don't look be a
big person and to take you further.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Solid advice, bro, like I would say father advice. Bro.
He actually, man, when you're around the.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Coach, so much of someone giving you advice on everything
and critiquing your craft and everything, you know, would play
a coach man, The coach used to be like a man.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Think got Dennis Robin used to look at Chuck Daily, man.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
He used to go in Chuck Daily's house and Chuck
Daddy's wife would cook. There used to be a sacredness
before with that. You feel me, man, listen. I love
when we get to learn the knowledge and when you
actually think about what cultures actually built. Uh, some of
the franchises that you see right Boston's culture, man, we
got to live through Chicago and watch Michael Scottie, Phil Jackson,

(06:44):
Bill Chicago's culture.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
We got to see Houston. Bill there you feel what
I'm saying, Like, Bro, don't take none of this shit
for granted.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Man, this ship we see LB doing for the Lakers,
the ship we see Steph Curry doing for Golden State,
Katie being in the Phoenix Jersey. Bro, Man, I think
I said the best man a couple of years. Man,
they're not gonna be here and then we're gonna be
doing the to rewind the tapes and ship. Man, you
know what I'm saying, Like Red relterally like right now,
a lot of discussion of the sports world. That's who
the face of the league and who gonna be the face? Like,

(07:13):
enjoy what it is now, you know what I It's
a mixing pot of variety.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Man, I love it.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
My point was, Man, what I was gonna say, Man,
was that Red. I was gonna concur with you and say, Man,
Red don't get enough for vision being still alive today.
And how when you come through the green doors, it's
almost like how you when you hear Miami talk about
they croaching what they not built? The same thing, Bro,
same thing you come through the green doors. Man, you

(07:38):
gotta precedent, you got you got a responsibility. It's a
bunch of stuff you have and then if you that, man,
if you had face, if you one of those, it's
got a whole nother list.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Like this doc made me feel like not only that
Red built like Celtic culture. I felt like he built
like NBA culture NBA, but like, like you know what
I'm saying, he built like no, we're gonna do this,
We're doing this, doing this, and everybody started following suit.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
When you watch Pat Raleigh, he's definitely taking a page
out of D's book. You know, Miami don't wear the
same socks as everybody. The league got socks, and then
Miami got socks. They will and it's a whole nother cushion.
Yeah man, and it's a man, it's a whole nother
sock that only they have.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
You feel me?

Speaker 3 (08:23):
How about when starting these like this was a hockey,
It was hockey and.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
They were like that.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
So that's so what people don't know about the history
of the league is these are cigars. By the way, right,
I have to say that.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I used to I used to hit these the leader
number nine, these the number nine, I.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Like these stop. Okay, we're not like these No, no, no,
thirty seconds. Only smoke cigars. Once Paul appears out and
smoking a cigar, make sure y'all help him out, all right, No.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
I to smoke a CI Guard.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
You know you're good. It's good. Yeah, Lions. That man
during the parade, he just needs a man. I'm a
mat now, know. I mean I used to be George
put On. You know what I'm saying, you gotta watch us.
We used to go to CI Guard man. Man, chill, chill.

(09:22):
That was our spot. You mean, the man in the morning, chill.
I'm telling you. That's why you gotta do ship by yourself. Man,
That's that's that's everybody know that. I hope, I hope God,
I hope not.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Man.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
I was boy being the cigardlands chopping it up. That's
old school player ship. You mean that place don't even there?

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Just so happened to be carrying Paul that night and
I got into you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
It was that kind of be in there.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
It took me away to cut like a short cut,
to cut through something, and we did all alleys. I
didn't listen to this day. I don't even know where
I was. It looked like old Boston, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
We was in the city. I was like, underground stuff.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
And listen, Paul, you know what you should do. You
should give them tour of Boston. People who haven't been
sponsors Paul.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Pierson, I'm gonna show you the tour in Boston. He
got the joint, he got the key to Cheers. We
went up to Cheers. The niggas had the key.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
I was like, come on, man, what the fuck is due?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yo? Straight up? Go go around the city with Paul Pierce.
It's like an episode. Is that's what you need to
go do? All that love ship you talk about?

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Man?

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Right? Yeah? Who loves Paupa?

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Right?

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Paly p Right?

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Oh shit, man, listen, man, before we start, man, I
was gonna come on here and ask you, you know,
with Phoenix and where they at? Right and right before
matter of fact, was gonna hit you because I because
I saw you that you called me, and I didn't
get to hit you back.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
But one of my questions to you was that, man,
what you doing in your KD y'all? Eleven twelve?

Speaker 1 (11:25):
You know, like these ain't even playing like you know
how you got p you know how you gotta be
to go for the run.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
You gotta be all out.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
It's got to be on some we all, you know
what I'm saying, on some titan shit. And when they
when they ain't come out like that, And he's like, man, bro,
we had banshed ourselves and woo man, after all, we
gotta have a conversation. When do we have the conversation, Pete?
If you doing because then last night he looked irritated.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah, yeah, but they they gonna get it to it.
But I'm saying, though, we gotta wait for this situation.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
It changed. Everything changed now ten games, So ten games everything.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Changed now because Fenix can slide into the playing ten games.
They can slide in because Dallas just got shut down.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
They shutting down, would you yes you would? Yes? Yeah?
What not? So like you're gonna washed the season? It's washed.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
You lost Lively, you lost Gafford, you know, man, I
like to just think condolences Toyrie.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, you hate.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
To see that, man, you know what I'm saying, especially
after Western Dallas, they went from like a season that
was so anticipated to what you wanted to see going
into it after making the finals to like one of
the most devastating seasons that you can even imagine right now,
and so hopefully he can make a recovery and bounce back.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
People that what's that that backwards one? Is it backwards
three sixty? With that?

Speaker 3 (12:54):
That's just it's a dark cloud right now over that city. Christmas,
it's still got hurt and Luca got traded and this
has been a dark cloud over there.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Like you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
They raised ticket prices too, They raised ticket and.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
I saw that you can't wear the seventy seven jersey here.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
You gotta go out, bro, Like what's going on there?
We know math for j Kidd right now? Word because
you know he really going through it. Yeah, you know
he's and then point guards he wants.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
They about to not make the playoffs after going to
the finals.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
Only a couple of teams have ever done the historically
the finals, and then it's not.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
A good look.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
That's not a good look for them, you know what
I'm saying, It's only one way rights, one way up,
and then Kyrie kind of hit it out the whole year.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Did you see that?

Speaker 1 (13:39):
He kind of hit it out of sitting out the
whole year dealing with this a cl kd took two
years on.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
The usually eight to ten month recovery timeline. So that'll
put him into.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Next modern medicine. Man, they got steem sales, they got
you know what I'm saying. They got a bunch of
other stuff that make you feel me.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
But with Kyrie, he had a player option this year
that he could have opted out of and got a
new deal out. That kind of changes that. With the
a cl terror, you think, yeah, he's.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Gonna have to opt in. Get healthy.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Trying to get back about what January February or next year,
and and see where they at.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
I think they're gonna be.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
They gonna be fine next year if Tyree can bounce
back around February of next year, get everything straight. And
Anthony bounced h you see Anthony Davis. Now you get
a draft pick, you drop out of the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
This is what I would do.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
I would drop I would sit everybody in there lively.
He dealing with a fracture in his foot.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
What was that something like that?

Speaker 3 (14:34):
And then a d Let's shut him down. We know
what Kyrie is going through. Let's slide out of the
play in. Let's go after Cooper Cup. Now, let's see
if we can get Cooper Cooper Cooper flag available to

(14:54):
all these damn Coopers out here. Cooper Cup, Cooper flag, Cooper.
What's the Cooper that's over there?

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Dallas? What's the quarterback? Was his day? God? Damn? How
many Coopers? Is it like cracking right now? Did so?

Speaker 3 (15:10):
You go after Cooper flags? Talking about Dallas, get Cooper flags,
you get a d back, you get Lively.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
The stock is up once. Once you get your team
in Dallas, you're good. Yeah, yeah, I was shut it
I would shut it down, peace Tom Man.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
And right now, Philly shut it down. Shut down, Paul George,
Dallas shut it down.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
It's crazy. It's time to shut down down now.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
So who emerges? Phoenix gonna merge. They got a shot now,
they got a puncher's chance to get into the playing.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
And they're three out of a plan, three out.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Of behind Dallas. Dallas gonna slide out.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
So if Phoenix they got a good win, that could
kind of propel them into like, all right, we got
a good win. After that game versus the Clippers, like
they should have lost. They can be like, all right,
let's lose this to get some momentum getting to the
play right now. You know all we used to do
the season, we'd be like, all right, look, this is
where we're at. We're gonna go We're gonna go after
the two seeds, or we're gonna go, all right, y'all
the second half of the season. All Star We remember

(16:06):
how we was in Brooklyn, like all right, second half ticket,
let's go, let's turn up. Remember we was like in
twenty one, we had that conversation about look, it's trying
to press a certain button, you know what I'm saying.
It's like after the All Stars, it's like we had
these conversations like all right, now it's time to settle
down with all the shit we was doing in the
first half of the season. We gotta cut that out.
Ain't no more doing this, that and that is trying

(16:27):
to buckle up, you know what I'm saying. And that's
what Phoenix gotta do. They gotta buckle up.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
They gotta play some d though against you. Yeah, they got.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
Something twenty ninth of defense over the last FIFA. Yes,
And I'm curious your guys' thoughts that the report that
came out coach budenholes are telling Devin Booker to tone
it down, and what your guys thoughts were of that.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
I feel like everybody frustrated because sometimes that's what you
want from your players, to be vocal. But then it's like,
you can't you you can't talk over the coach. And
I don't know if that's the case. You know, he
might be talking over the coach, because for a coach
to say that to your star player who is a leader,
it may be something to coach and point he trying
to get across and he talking over the coach. So
that's probably what I was said. But then again, it's

(17:11):
like I'm not taking that to the press either as
a coach. You know what I'm saying. So it's frustration
Mountain in Phoenix, and you can see that that's like
not what you do when you building a culture and
you trying to you know, get something done and in
advance and get to the playoffs and all that. You
don't like y'all keep like you put a Booker to
the side of the game, like, hey, let me look
at when I'm talking. Just let me get my point across.

(17:33):
Then you get your point. You don't bring that to
the media, this new this new way of just doing
things and letting everybody in on the on the fraternity
and in the locker room. It's like you're letting it.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Now.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
You're giving the media opportunity to splitch all apart. Now
you know what I'm saying, Like, now they're gonna build
on that, like, oh, they must don't get along.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Now everybody gonna come up.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
It's gonna be a topic of discussion on all the
shows now and now you you you letting that creep in.
So like like certain shit, when you building a culture,
you just don't say to the media.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
You know what I'm saying. It's crazy, bro, to tell
I thought Devin Booker is the face of this of
this Francis.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, he could talk, but like, damn, keep that to y'all.
Say it had to be an interaction, bro, you just
don't come all the loud. Think about all the leaders
of the teams and what those guys were and whoever
had to be the voice of the of the team
and what you gotta and then what you gotta think
about the leader you gotta be to be able to
pull a team out of a slump, and all guys
thinking a certain way to be able to.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Get them to think this.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
That's not a that's not something like Candy coded. Hey, Paul,
I need you to dig in. No, it's dark and
you gotta go there. You gotta tell a man what
he don't want to hear, and then you gotta hear
the same from yourself. Everybody got to look at themselves
in the mirror. Now we're about to go do this, right, Bro.
That's not a simple and easy conversation to have. That's
a voiceful conversation. Your voice has to be vibrating to

(18:52):
a point where a nigga believe you for sure?

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Fuck is you talking about toned down? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:58):
I don't know what that meant and didn't understand none
of that, but yeah, yeah, I don't want to go
at the coach and none, but yeah, the coach gotta
grip up, bro, right like you a fucking you're an
example of the team. That's a different Like doctor, if
we was talking, he's gonna allow that facts and then
he gonna say what he gonna say to shape, right,
But he he loved when we interacted and we was
on each other saying like, hey, ticket, you need to

(19:22):
get back on accountability to go under, like like if
we're a time out, and then he'd be like, all right,
y'all done, Okay, just what we're gonna that's what we're
gonna do. He was good at that, Like, you don't
throw your player and stuff and let the media know
all that shit.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
So I didn't understand why he would do that when
you can probably get more about pulling Devin Booker to
the side and then chopping it up with he one
on one and then y'all get ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
And that's between y'all. It ain't even for everybody else.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
You understand exact Devin Booker gonna know stuff that probably
the coach ain't gonna know because if the coach gets fired,
they're gonna pull him to the side.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
He gonna talk to you, feel what I'm saying. So
it goes both ways.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
But if I'm giving Phoenix any type of two cent
of mind, man, listen, if y'all gonna go somewhere, y'all
gonna have to go together, and it's gonna y'all gonna
have to man round playoffs. You know this, And around
the second half of the season, man, Doc would squeeze
it in. It wouldn't be a bunch of extra ship around.
It's just us in here and only us focused on

(20:18):
what we're talking about. And then we would have constant
conversations about that every night.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Man. You gotta dig in and you gotta get on
the same page.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Man. So if Phoenix, man, that was just saying, Okay,
y'all can have. It's a slot right here. It's about
it right there. So I'm looking for Phoenix because they
got the man power. Y'all should go do this right.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
Another team climbing up the playoff ranks as the Golden
State Warriors. They're nine and ones is getting Butler. They
look like a brand new team they beat the next
Tuesday night. Curious just the thoughts of them come playoff
time and what the ideal matchup would be for them
in the first.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
We'll pay y doing folks.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, he ain't trip enough that he's stubborn, and you
know he's stubborn when you god damn about that ship.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
So what.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
You know, look at the ego you go, you don't
give a damn about this, worried about this locked in,
but nah, go to state right now.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
I saw something.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
I saw an element that they actually needed, Like Jimmy
is a shot in the arm like boom.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
It was like jo.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
It was like Steph was like, you know, I'm like, oh, Steph, no,
this is a this is a this is an opportunity now.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Like they didn't. He wasn't playing like this. He didn't
have this energy right here, Pete. No, no, he said.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
We talked about Luca giving Lebron a joke. Yeah, yeah,
he got the biggest joke right now. Bro, him and
Bron going bro.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, him and Bron got that new energy from the trades,
like okay life. Oh no, we saw it was like
that marathon. You know, when you're that marathon, it's like damn,
you think you way behind and then you just you
oh thin.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Go the leader.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
I'm right there now. They just like.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
We're right here.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
I see. No. I saw an element that Jimmy bring though.
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
It was like all you gotta do is keep the
game close, and you got And that's the same with
Brin and Luca. I'm looking at the game like damn,
like Jimmy. He is bringing a physicality to the game
on both ends to where if Steph can keep the
game close and Dre we could run our offense and
somewhere keep the game close.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Jimmy can actually will us to the end. Like he
just imposes his wheel from getting.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
To the line.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
He just physics.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
I'm looking at him, come to the jump, stop getting inside,
getting to that's so bad because they was one of
the worst teams that get into the line. And now
you know that that that mentally drains a team when
you like damn and you're trying to get a stop
and Steph hitte these threes and you got this dude
getting to the line when you need to stop.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Keep getting to the line.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
A great combination because you don't have players today going
really downhill no more. Right, he's the old school player
that goes downhill. He's not afraid of bump, he's not
afraid of getting contact. And they not only what you said,
they needed that. And then now you got man, we
forget that. You gotta let's just keep it real. You

(23:21):
got a generational talent on your team. Heard shock shoot
this man like I'm winning. Yeah, he gotta go down
on rushmore Man, because what Steph Curry has done has
now he's put He's put like a line on what
you gotta be to be that and your distance in
consistency and he shot making, he's made, He's made everybody

(23:44):
go work on the long ball. He's the god of
the loan ball. You understand. You know he comes from
the island of long ball. You know what I'm saying,
Like real ship. His dad was the emperor that ship.
He took over as king and now he resigns.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
When we talk about the the emergency of the league, man,
it would be about the long ball dog. Think about
what's Caitlyn Clark is so popular in her sport and
whych she destroys and just destroys the w n B.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
A bro, think about that.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
It's gonna be damn when you think about it, different
generations on how we played that.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
He might be that. He's like Jordan's start with magic.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Magic was like, all right, we're gonna do this with
the passing, I'm gonna be the most exciting pass j
was giving flare him and David Thompson was walking the
first one walking through the air.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Then Jordan took that no no, no, No, Golden Magic
came with another Flaire like and it was Jordan took
it to the next Larry Bird. You've never seen him
all for Bird. You know what I'm saying. You had.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Generation gave us something. I'm saying different, and that's what
needs to be appreciated. And like when we start talking
about the greatest of all time, I don't think we
should have this conversation of the greatest of all time
no more. I think we should just appreciate whoever. Like,
I can't say Jordan was better than Russell, or Lebron
is better than Jordan, or Jordan's better because each era

(25:09):
had the greatest of all times, so they all should
be on the Rushmore. Bro faces, you know what I'm saying, Like,
when you talk about the Rushmore, let's stop saying this
four of them. No, we're gonna say, all right, it's
started with Russell Wilt.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Let's go there. That's part of the Rushmore. It's a
huge mountain. The Rushmore is huge.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Now because the general and then you go like to
the next wave Bird Magic, they up there.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Then you say, Jordan, you speaking pillars.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Man, These is the pillars they gotta be They gotta
be thee. This is the Rushmore bro Kareem magic Jordan
that like boomo boom boom bom bom. We can't just
give it no individual because when I heard Jordan say,
do you think you the greatest, He's like, man, that'll
be disrespectful for the guys to the past, you know,
when they asked.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Jordanus Jordan asked who's the greatest?

Speaker 3 (25:54):
He was like, so I can't say I'm the grow
because it'll be disrespecting what the past guys did, like Russell,
it will And I was like, damn, that's real, you know,
even though you know he what he created and the
shoes and the flare and the structure and yeah yeah,
so like I'm not about to be talking about the
greatest no more. They're the greatest is what you bring

(26:16):
to that generation. Like Bron is the greatest of this generation. Dog,
It's just he just is. But then you putting Steph
in this category. So when we go through Eras, it's
gonna be Bron's Steph. You know, these are the faces
of this era right now, and they all up there.
It's all up there. It ain't no one, two, three, four.
It's about these the Mopuckers, that this is what the
league is about. When we walk into the Hall of Fame,

(26:38):
it should be the front should door should be these
pictures right here for these generations. We're gonna start with
the fifties, sixties, seventy eighties. These two faces, these two
or three faces. These these are the pillars that like, whoa,
they really changed the game. These is the game changers
right here. That yeah, Shock is in there, he changed
the game. Yeah, Steph is in there. Yeah, oh his

(27:00):
face has gotta be up there. Man.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
So do you think when it's all said and done
the year, where you think they land going to state? Above? Six? Five, seven?
I think they're gonna kind of stay at Wait how
many games are they?

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Right?

Speaker 5 (27:13):
So they're they're out of the player now there's six
seats and they're three behind Houston.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, I don't know if they're gonna catch Houston.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
You said what they're three behind Houston for the fifth
slode fifth.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
So they's six right now, it's six. I don't know.
Three is tough the kind of game around a couple
of weeks ago too, but they.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
On steam Bro, it's all like right now, if I'm
Golden State I'm trying to position myself to play who
I want to play. So right now, if today I'm
playing Denver, I don't think I want to play Denver.
I probably rather play Memphis or Houston. So I'm gonna say,
all right, guys, we're gonna have this meeting. Do we
want to stay at six and go to Denver first round?

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Should we try to move up to five? And for
the possibility of playing Houston or Memphis? I think you
try to go after one of them young teams. They're like,
all right, they're gonna have the same experience, is that
Denver guy? No go up to them, because if you
go up one, you don't have to see two like

(28:09):
Lakers or like if you go up from five, six
to five, that's gonna put you at the four or
five slot. They played memphisis in the first round instead
of Denver.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
You know what I'm saying, who you take out of
those two? I'd rather play Memphis.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
I'll try to move up to Memphis then going into
Denver knowing I got to deal with this joker for
seven games.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Top four.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
Top four is OKC, Lakers, Denver, Memphis.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Because if I go to the fifth seed, then that's
gonna put me in the second round with Okac instead
of the Lakers. So I probably want to see, Okay
see instead of.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
The which way you want to go, I think I'm
gonna take.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
I'm gonna take the young route because I don't want
to go Denver Lakers, two veteran teams that know I
don't win.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
I'd rather go after these young teams to where if
the game is close, they might make some poor decisions.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
You know what I'm saying, everybody, hero, That's one thing
I'm thinking about when I think about Okay, see man
when they get when Shade goes and doesn't have a
good game. We've seen him so so many times have
a good game, but we ain't really see him, not
like have no bad game. He we ain't seen him
when they take him out of the offense. I saw
the Lakers play the Knicks without Anthony Davis, and they

(29:20):
totally took kat out of the out of the game,
bro I mean the things JJ Reddick was doing defensively
to him, Knicks was lost.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Same thing, the same thing, right. So I sit here
and took a.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Joke about the game, and they blew him out. I'm
saying to say, what happens when you take Shaye out
of it? Do you do you do you actually think
that you're just supporting Cash can actually continue to do
the same things impressure situations in the playoffs when that
turnover does mean something or man, that missdeath.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
You know what I'm saying, Like that's my only worry.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Like I know they've been there, I know they sees it,
but man, it's a whole other beast that they're about
to see. Bro. If OKC can actually get through this test,
they should be champions. They because the road they gotta
take to get to where they gotta go, if they
got to go through a Golden State or a Laker team. Bro,
not even to mention one of these younger teams. The

(30:16):
West is The West is is so disgusting. Bro, It's
like it's like what's the name of that movie with
gangs in New York with Leonardo in it. Bro, no
one's talking about Minnesota. Minnesota is descending. Man, Listen, the
slot just open for from the Mavericks.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
It's everybody's finna go. Everybody's gonna go for this. This
is gonna be great basketball. I'm telling you now because
you know what, you know what two p the It's
cut out all that bullshit. All the bullshit has been cut.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Out of the game.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Bro think about how the game it is. I wouldn't
say it is the same amount of three as as
no ships. But I'm just saying, Matherles is coming down.
It's going into a bag or a playmate. It don't
look like wasted offense or something. It don't look so
so playful. I'm seeing the refs tightening up on the whistle.
You're seeing it getting a little more rougher. It is

(31:11):
down the stretch now as it should be.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, we're gonna see some great basketball. Man.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
I just hope people stay healthy and yeah, man, I
just hope that. Man, this is gonna be a great
second half.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
Staying in the West. Another team rolling are the Lakers.
They're now second in the West. Lebron was named Player
of the Month. He's killing at the age of forty,
hit fifty thousand points on Tuesday night. The question I
have for you guys is, with the hot streak going
on right now, is their run sustainable in the playoffs
when the game slows down, becomes more half court and
you can game playing game to game, Kemp Street can
remain with them.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Yeah, because with the Lakers they more built for the
half court they've been running, but the defenses was JJ
Redick is out here looking like a young pat Riley,
but he wants to cover the Lakers. When you watch
what are You talk? That's what JJ Redick is looking like,
like like man, just he just they they understand he

(32:05):
bought in. They bought into what he's saying, you know,
And there was a lot of question marks of like
oh yeah, going from the podcast. But he got a
great basketball mind. He got a great It's almost identical
to how like what was pat Riley before he took
over when he got it was a great assistant he was.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
But before he was an assistant, what was he a
radio h what was I think he was a coach
doing radio some ship like that, right, he was.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
He was a radio guy. So in that time he
was doing radio, the JJ was doing podcasts. He jumped
to the coach and I'll look at that. Two X
players though, yeah, two X players though you can't but
you see you see kind of like the parallel between
the two.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
I understand, I see what it's.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Like crazy, it's crazy, and now like they gonna be
so difficult to play against because you got two guys
who built for like play off basketball for one, when
the game slowed down and it's grinded out and you
you're gonna get to the line between Bron and and.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
And Luca down the stretch.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
I mean if the game is closed though, they getting
the call because of their aggression because they understand uh
the time and score like the i Q added Luca
like anybody like Anthony Davis defensively all this, but the
i Q for the Lakers just.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Went so far up when you add it.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
So I'm saying you got two of the top five
highest i Q players in the game on one team,
which don't happen, you know what I'm saying. Like if
I say the top five i Q guys in the
league right now be Luca, Bron steph Uh, Shay in there. Okay,
so Shay in there, and Joker.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
High i Q.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
And then you got like Tatum's in there after that,
and then uh and then uh huh.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Pretty smart, Yeah he's in there.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Like man, that's crazy, Like they're gonna be difficult to
deal with, bro, Like that's that's a team, and everybody
was like, they don't have to they don't need a
big man because it ain't like you got a big
man out there just being dominated in the low post anyway.
The only one who's in the low poster's Joker. He's
spending ninety percent at the elbow.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Cat. Cat's pretty dominant in the post.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
But he runs to the three now. He runs to
the three now, but he don't like go down and
take advantage like like he should.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
When you watch the Knicks dominate, he's in the paint
being the beast. When he was in Minnesota when they
went the playoff run, it was because he was in
the post, killing the post.

Speaker 5 (34:33):
All of his sixteen attempts are not three pointers for town.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Right, bro, he shoot the three, but no game five
a game. He only shoot sixteen shots.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Yeah, sixteen twelve the paint.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Somebody's getting popped off. Yeah, somebody's getting popped in the West. Somebody, listen,
it ain't it ain't room for everybody.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
It's one or two things that's gonna happen. You're gonna
have a young team emerge, because like it's always gonna
be somebody made every error, you know, you got the
young and the old. Just like when Golden State bust
uh through by beating San Antonio, the Old Goats they like,

(35:10):
are they gonna push through eventually? Because they always was
knocking at the door. So now is it gonna be
a young team knocking at the door, or they're gonna
allow one of the older teams to use a veterism
to just kind of like let y'all say.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Hey, y'all, y'all be all there, but y'all not there.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
So that's what we're looking at, is it's gonna be
a young team that's gonna get through, or they gonna
allow Big Brother to say, hey, we still got this,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (35:37):
So where we at?

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Where we at right right now? That's the balance that
we're in right now. Because you talk about when I
mean it's similar to like when Goat I mean changing
of the guard. We're in the middle of it right now,
especially in the Western Conference.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
It doesn't feel like the Old has a raider. Let
it go though, has a lot of player. Steph is
playing at a great level. You see how he playing
the last two weeks. Bro, Yeah, like he's playing on
some other ship.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Listen, they know that this is it the last two years. Yeah,
these last couple of years, they like this is it,
you know. Yeah, So we gotta be as fans just
keep appreciating it. And both teams got a real chance P.
One hundred because the way the game is played now,
it's just like, shoot, we got a puncher's chance. Like

(36:29):
if Steph can he's a legend, he can get hot
for a whole series. Like who can I say that
about on a young team like Bron could be great
for the whole season series These young dudes, you could
be good for about.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
One or two games in the series.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
But when you got these legends out here, they can
they can wield their team to a yeah, like you
know what I'm saying, Like they gonna be good for
like two or three games in the playoffs. Whereas man Bron,
he can.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Take over this series and just like will or somebody
emerges like you say, or this is where is where emerge?
Can can one of these young boys on have Houston?
Can you emerge?

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Is Denver still contenders because they arguably got the best
player in the league, Joker, he can go off and
be good every single game, you know, So like we're
right there. We're like, you know, is this truly the
changing of the guard or this is one last ride
for the old school cat middle of it?

Speaker 5 (37:33):
Speaking of old school, one of the oldest and best
rivalries in sports, Lakers Celtics games this Saturday.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Yes, sure, I looked it up.

Speaker 5 (37:40):
Bet MGM odds for them to reach the finals plus
eleven hundred. How do you guys feel about a potential
thirteenth matchup against them in the finals.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Oh, oh, that's what do we do for?

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Oh that's the call?

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Hey, what's up? What's going on?

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Silver? Commissioner? That's the commissioner. You're gonna send me the
memo for this, Send it over, send me the script.
I won't say nothing.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
I'm here. What's mister Garnett? Right now?

Speaker 3 (38:11):
We need a Sneakers deal? All right, all right, I'll
get back with you better. All right, Adam, Silver just
hit me. Bro sent me the skip. They sent me
the script.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
He gonna sit.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
He gonna fax me the script. You gotta be more professional, score,
he said. He's sending me over the script.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Now on some real ship.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Man.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
I think the lead needs this real ship.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
I am so excited to see these two teams to
be valid dope teams with great players on both teams
and then them getting it on like and then too,
if I'm being one hundred man, the season, they need
to send a message to the Lakers.

Speaker 5 (38:47):
Man.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
You know, last time when they was in l a man,
they got smacked. They got smacked last time they sure did.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
I was at there, like it was like, what the
hell is going on? So yeah, this is a statement game.
And then too, this could be a preview of the finals. Man,
this is gonna be easy to preview of the finals.
So I want to see how like I want to
see how the young season, everybody, how they react to Luca.
I want to see this. You know what I'm saying.
This would be a get on to it. And you
know what, the league needs this. We need them the

(39:14):
pillars to be pillar teams. Yeah, there's gonna be a
much watch the We need to track the ratings.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
On this, feel me. Hell yeah, just that, just that,
get on, just that, shin Dick. Let's get some fan questions, baby.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
First question ticket this for you. It comes from Daniel.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Daniel.

Speaker 5 (39:33):
Yeah, how does it feel know when you left a
lasting impression on the game and it's the after the
whistle blocks when you blocked the shot after people everybody
do that now work everywhere.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
Yeah, oh man, that's dope. Yeah man, I didn't. I
didn't even know at the time I was doing it.
At the time when I came out with it, it
was just yeah, for my reasons whatever. But yeah, every
now and then when I see somebody do it, it
kind of like, you know, kind of laugh high. Yeah,
that's dope.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Though.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
I remember I asked why you always do that. He
was like, Cuz I don't want you to see the
ball going through the whole, right like that. So you
get a shot, you say something like that you don't
want to see it.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Da listen, What you don't know is the guy that
shot it is right right because because the only thing
he need to see it go through go through.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Like okay, cool, I'm good. You know that.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
I would go One time, Reggie Reggie Miller just kept
on shooting and I just kept on blocking. After the
something was on the car, he just kept shouting. He said,
young fella, do the day. I said, so can I
We shot there for about eleven shots. He just kept
on shooting. I'm like that all eleven of us, So

(40:44):
ship you know what I'm saying. But yeah, yeah, I shot.
Everybody who's doing that.

Speaker 5 (40:49):
Yeah, it's basically an unwritten rule in the NBA. Now
everyone does it.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
And if you notice, I never shot the ball after
the after whistle, you never see a clip of me
grabbing it trying, you know what I'm saying, just because.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Of that, because Nigga's waiting on. You know what I'm saying,
Brother's waiting on. Oh man, I'm gonna get here when
he shooting out with pump fake look, goofy. All right.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
Next question comes from Caesar. His question is what was
your routine or rituals before games? Like did you segment
out your day, like what you were doing on the
game day versus a road game, like, what was kind
of your routine?

Speaker 2 (41:23):
What was your routine at home pe on game day? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (41:26):
All right, so like after shoot around, after shoot around,
boo bone, shower, whatever that, I go home, eat writing
my lunch, Eat my lunch because its gonna be about
even thirty twelve, about eleven. So then after that I'm
gonna jump in the hyperbag chamber and take a nap.
So then I take a nap for a couple of hours.
It be two o'clock, wake up, jump in the shower.

(41:48):
Then I'm on my way to the ring. I take
the same route every time. Then I get some shots
up the first thing I do. I'll get shots up
when you get to the arena.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
When I get to the four thirty. No, like thirty
four you leave.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
I said three you get down three thirty four. Yeah,
So like by four thirty I'm shooting. Then five o'clock
I'm getting a massage. So then I'm gonna get my
muscles lose stretch, getting massage by five o'clock. Then after
that I might get on the bike just to warm
my muscles back up after getting a massage.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Then after that, you know, I go get taped. Then
I go sit in the.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
Room, quiet room, kind of meditate by myself before we
have our team meeting.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
But before I go into court.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Were you a person that interacted with people or were
you a person that liked to be isolated.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Yeah, I mean I'm gonna interact while I'm getting taped
or something like that. But then after I get taped
and all of that, then I'm gonna go make sure
I have my moment to where I have to myself
before we have our team meeting before we run out
on the court, like down then yeah, yeah, then I
might have my level ten or fifteen minutes to where
it's just nothing but me my earphones, and I'm just
kind of thinking about what I need to get done

(42:56):
for the game to health.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
The team, and those thoughts. Are you already knowing what
you can and can't do? Things? You're gonna try things?
Do you have that little checklist of I know I
can do this? Well, It wasn't. Actually, I was depending
on the mat.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
I was just thinking about the game plan and who
I'm guarding, because event I mean, you know, at the wing,
you're gonna guard somebody every night. Every night, it's gonna
be somebody here run, it's gonna be somebody. So I'm
just just lock in and like all right, I know
he you know, he liked to go this direction.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
I know.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
I'm just thinking, like, all right, this is I'm gonna
play this. I'm gonna play ball screens today.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
This is defensive mindset. Yeah, I'm on a defensive mindset.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Most of the time, I didn't worry about what I
was gonna so I was more thinking about the defense
because the offense is gonna come, that's gonna come or go.
But you could control the kind of defense a little bit.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Offensively, did you have things pre set?

Speaker 1 (43:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (43:44):
Not really. I mean you know, I just had the
game just came to me, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
It wasn't like when I got the ball, I'm gonna
do this certain thing because I just played off of you,
or play it off with my teammates was doing today.
I wasn't going to the game you go back, younger, Pee.
It was different because I was like, shit, I know
it's gonna be hard. I gotta, I gotta. I got
to just make sure I'm up ready because I know
I have to have a big game for us. I
have a chance to win, you know what I'm saying.

(44:12):
So it wasn't like I'm gonna shoot this man the
amount of threes. I'm like, I'm just I just was
always thinking attack, attack, attacking.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
So that's crazy. I had things I already knew coming
into the game. Offensively, I can get away with things
that was, you know, successful, and then defensively, things I
knew that bro don't like. That's all I was cared about.
When I watched film and I went to four five
pieces of film. It was all about irritating you and

(44:39):
just taking you off your square and making things as
difficult as I could for you.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
So when I when man, and then my shoot around started,
like the morning I woke up. The minute I woke up,
it was game day for me. Like I ain't really
speak to nobody.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
I was on my own little yeah you being yours
off for the moss I was.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
I was in the old zone for like I wou
wasn't say nothing to take it because I know I
know where he at right now, like like the game started,
would look right at you but not see yeah yeah
I was, Yeah I would. He wouldn't even be like Ticket,
And then everybody around me knew, like I didn't even
look at you, Like then I give you a look
like na like leave me alone, Like that's what his

(45:17):
own But everybody knew that though, so like they let him.
All right, look at everybody'll tell you play with Ticket,
Like all right, this Ticket, you know he ain't really
gonna he's gonna be come then whatever. But then he'll
be so locked in. But then me and him I
have our little one on one moment, like right before
we out. I was just like like no, no, I

(45:38):
should get him going because I just throw the ball
at him like come on you.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
Like like one hundred miles, like come on, start later.
It was just we got later.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
We got.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
I used to throw the ball out of check the block,
like lego down there, he come down there, you know
what I'm saying. So we had our little bore there.
I just throw the ball like checkup. It'd be like
one minute left before the game.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Before in the layup line, it'd be like one or
two minutes left because we're about over the huddle.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Check that one.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Get a bucket. Let me see if y'all mind right right?
And then I do the same day. We get one
possession each. And I mean to be super I'm talking
about Brownsville. I'm all, I'm fouling Jersey Yard and I
pulling this. You know what I'm saying, Like Dad, what
we're doing?

Speaker 2 (46:16):
What we're doing?

Speaker 5 (46:19):
Ticket. One thing that you were known to do was
you kind of like headbutted the stanchion before the game.
Like when did you start implementing that?

Speaker 1 (46:25):
And then your mom right, that's what that meant. Hard
had was about to go to war, about to go
ahead and give it to this man when I used
to hit that thing and then peep out and look
that was me. I was man sober. I just apologized.
Smile everybody who came to the game. Yeah, apologies, Yeah, mom,
ain't that. Y'all know what it is for the spit

(46:45):
fire out the smug right spin it now you know
what I mean? Right, see me hit the back of the.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Joints always run there like like, I just wonder about
Ticket because like we've been in a layup line, say
we run out boom, I mean the first layup right,
and then I come to the back of the line.
Ticket be in the back, and I'll be looking like
and I noticed this in Minnesota too, we play it
against I'll be like, damn, the game just started. So
if you look at the jump ball, if you look

(47:13):
at everybody, all ten players, Ticket be the only one
drenched already before the game start, Like I look like, damn,
he ready to go. He the only one out here
just ready to go. Like the I'm talking about, like
it's not no regular sweat. I'm talking about drenched, like
in the game ain't started, and you look at everybody,
everybody kind of like.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
You ain't ready for this. You can't be out here.
I'll be like, all right, you gotta be ready. You
can't be this. If you at the foe, you out here,
you can't be out here.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
I knew the playoffs, so I knew in the playoffs
that when we played Detroit, I'm looking at ticket, already,
ticket ready to go. I know, he got just drenched,
and I look over Rashid doing this. He doing something
crazy to Rashid bullshit right playing. I said, oh shit,
it's gonna be bad for Rashid today. He's not taking
this serious scriver that. I looked at that ticket and

(48:05):
I was.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Like, never played around doing this. He was just ever
like he playing the guitar.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
And I'm like thinking, like, this is the playoffs, and
you about the match up with like, oh man, it's
gonna be a bad day for everybody.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
Talk about being playing and practicing and working in the gym.
He was really in the gym, you know what I'm saying,
like really getting it in.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
So when we stepped on the floor, bro, I was
a different level and I want to you know, yeah,
I want to see where your level was, you know,
because I played against the best and I seen his level,
you know what I'm saying. So when I when I
felt like I was that guy. Man, that's why the
gaming ship should come into the league. Man warming up
like that and they're going across looking at up, looking
at whoever you're looking at, standing him in the face.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Everybody was presence. That's what the league right now.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
I don't know who presenting that kind of presence, Like
it's only certain you you know, Cole presented that presence.
Shot Aiant, even vents Bro, they had presence at the
jump ball you looking at like like now, since everybody
so buddy buddy, it's hard to like look and see
you like just a real ass presence.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
To where it's like when they walk on to you, like, okay,
I gotta I don't think it's so buddy buddy like
we think it is.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
I think it's cool, cool, cool, But nah, you still
want one gotta win, one gotta lose.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
That's still there.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
You feel me like that, it's cool to the point, Pete,
you feel me like it ain't so buddy, Like.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
You're really saying that I don't like you on the
court like as much, ain't much as much.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
I seen thet look like that We.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
Wasn't picking players up if we knock them down. You
know what I'm saying. We wasn't dapping a lot after
the game or even saying what something it was like,
you know, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (49:49):

Speaker 3 (49:51):
It wasn't no like small hand hug and all that
before the game, cool after the game whatever.

Speaker 2 (49:57):

And that's if you respect somebody, you feel me.

Speaker 3 (50:05):

I ain't shoot no jumpers on him. Today it's like
I'm going to the rack every single It's like because

Speaker 5 (51:45):

Speaker 3 (51:48):
Against I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go Clips. Since I
play with Clips, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go Nick.
Since they're going off a back to back, that means
they're gonna be in rhythm. Ye give me the Knicks.
Even though the Clippers.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Are they tough? They are tough. They are, Bro.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
I just against Phoenix, Bro, they should have won that game.

Speaker 2 (52:05):

Speaker 5 (52:08):
Saturdays, get a Saturday, get on, as you like to
call it, ticket the ABC game, Lakers at Celtics.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Lakers and Celtic.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
You know it's at Celtics right in Boston, you're sir, Okay,
I'm going to see.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Yeah, we sees up. This should be a good game, though. Man,
it's gonna say a lot.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Hey, listen, I anticipate Bron on for throttle. You feel
what I'm saying for throttle shout to fifty thousand, bro.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
Respect.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
Nobody set the bar so high. And this is I'm
not gonna be alive when somebody breaks this. I'm glad
I'm able to be able to see this. This might
be the most unbreakable record what Bron doing right now.
I don't think kids understand, like because like it took
so long for them to break Kareem. Think about this
Kareem stuff for like what thirty some years, for decades

(53:01):
like yeah, so this one is gonna stand for at
least one hundred years.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Because real talk, because the man has played, you gotta play.
They don't have to.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
What they're gonna have to do is they're gonna have
to rechange the rules for somebody to break this, uh,
to allow high school players to come out again, because
if you're not coming out of high school, you're not
breaking this.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
He started at a.

Speaker 5 (53:26):
Teen two year extra.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
Yeah, so he came out of eighteen. So if you're
not coming to the league at eighteen, you ain't gonna
break this.

Speaker 5 (53:34):
Lucas the only one really paid. He plays long enough.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
I'm trying to tell you, I mean, but his body
ain't gonna be able to hold up for twenty one
years at this pace. They're gonna have to do something though,
like Lebron when he go, like when he passed, They're
gonna have to like really study him. They're gonna have
to take his bike, don't bury him. They're gonna have
to take him to a scientific lab and say, hey,

(54:00):
we need to take something because he gonna help humans
live and do stuff longer. Man, for real, dog, you
got to take something. His DNA bones and everything and
all that put it into Man, you got to do
something because this is the most incredible.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Thing in our life.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Listen, we're seeing from an athlete. From an athlete's point
of view.

Speaker 2 (54:18):

Looking like a twenty one year old running like a
twenty one year old, moving like a you know, jumping
like he's twenty one at forty.

definition of growth. So we look, we saw Michael Jordan's like,
ain't nobody gonna be better to Jordan?

Speaker 3 (54:41):
