Weekend of All-Stars

Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and girls, Cats and Dogs is another episode of ninety four feet podcast. Is your boy because he can built on here. My brother Dre, what's good? Everybody happy to be back? Ninety four feet Nation was good. I'm also hearing my brother Kesey was good. Good people? All right? How y'all doing? Let's start with Keisi. How you doing living in an American dreams? Going the American dream depends on you're talking about it. Dre, how you doing? I'm good, man,

I'm good. I was fake under the weather today. You know, throat got a little scratchy because of his weather change. But I'm doing great man. Side note, Game Show battle Room. If you ever looking for something to do with your family or your friends, it's a spot in Brookfield called Game Show battle Room where you can do like family few will of fortune prices right. They changed the name, of course, because they don't want to

get sued. But for competitive people such as yourselves, it would be freaking hilarious. So I did that yesterday with some people and it was dope. Man. It was a topic. Uh well, I would have a stat so I lost everything else. But no, uh so the survey gam It was like, uh, Will Smith Top Movies or name Will Smith movies. Uh. There was another one called Michael Jackson's Greatest Hits, and there was a couple of other things and then it was a dope it was. It

was a dope concept. So check it out if you're ever looking. And I say that because people always like walking. You don't have nothing to do, right, and once you age out of the club scene, you're always looking for something different than unique. So that was really dope. Every time I say that, somebody be getting on me like it, do you just

do me looking and low key that's true. Low key that's true. I will say I don't look for a lot of stuff to do in my city, which is that I should do, but I just don't have the time to be looking around for It's called gang show battle rooms, are you talk about. You can get a room and then y'all can do whatever game y'all want to do. No, so you get it's called gang show battleroom.

So you get in the room. That's what I'm saying. You can rent out a room, y'all can do whatever y'all want to win a room Nope, and you play like a game show simulation. So there's an actual host, so you play surveys, you play who's the host, whoever works for them? It's a random host. Okay, so it's a simulation like you're on a game show. It's it's really dope. We should we should check it out one day. But definitely if you look for something to do with

your family. Is family friendly. Uh, it's not super expensive, but again, like you said, you gotta look for stuff, especially when you age out. The I have friends that come here all the time. I'm going to do hookah. I said, Well, let me know what you done. I can up a Bucks game with you. We can go go to a sports bar, we can go golf, and we could even go to the Fake Top Golf and Franklin and the Cole. But Dre and Clubs aged out a long time ago, so I'm good. So check that out.

All right, thanks for thanks for the thing, I mean day and paying this, but thank you for the shutting the mount. This is all Star weekend, so we're gonna skip injury for it and get straight into don't want to say the mess. We're gonna get straight into it though, Uh, straight straight to the shoot around. Yeah, real, shoot around really quickly, I said, really quickly, but starting to start us off. PJ. Tucker was five seventy five thousand dollars for publicly expressing his desire to

be traded to another team. The question I'm posing to the table is should players keep their mouth closed if they're feel they're not being used right and express and express themselves or just kind of keep it to themselves and just let it be. Because I feel like this. I brought this to the table just because with PJ. Tucker, he got traded from Philadelphia where he was getting used somewhat to Los Angeles Clippers, where he was he's not getting used at

all. He's actually took a leave from the team and he'll be playing again at All Star Break. But I don't think I don't see him getting into the rotation. So what do you guys think about that? So? Right, so or left? So I'm gonna say this, when did players not ever do it? I think he repeatedly did it? I mean Carmelo Anthony did it? He? No, Okay, I when we say this, people have done it in the past, and we know they wanted to leave, but they very rarely that a player comes out like, hey, I

want to get up out of here. Somebody picked me up. So it's one thing to be like, hey, I'm the fake being happy around it. But I think he just came out and blatantly said I want to get up out of here. So I think players have done it with a little more tactfulness, and like the world, I think PJ. Tucker lacked some tactfulness in his decision. I go back to how I hated how Carmelo Anthony left the Denver Nuggets, the temper tantrums that he was throwing, not showing

up to gains, faking injuries on the court. He made it very clear that he wanted out now Jokers wearing his number and delivered the championship or now Mellow's number will never be retired with that organization. However, that's not the topic in hand, PJ. Tucker. Unfortunately, at this point in your career, you are a level, a low level veteran minimum player. You should just be happy to still be employed in the NBA's hold on them. It's true, it's true. It's true. At one point I heard rumors

of a buyout and at the Bucks were considering him. You got traded to the Clippers. Okay, you were geeked in the beginning. How much click did you think you was gonna have with James Harden, Paul George Kawhi, Lennard Russell Westbrook and a bunch of other players who are better than you off the bench. So I'm gonna in here and I'm gonna pass to my brother Keasey. They should not keep their mouth closed. But that's why you have

an agent. Have some tactfulness in what you do, because this is behavior that's destrimental to the team. Right now, the Clippers are the favorites to win the world time. Not for me, but in a lot of sports circles, the Los Angeles Clippers are the favorites. And so PJ. Tucker now opening up his mouth like he could really help a championship win something. I don't think PJ has that anymore. I don't see that anymore. I've watched PJ all season. Since he's left the Bucks, he has not been

the same. PJ. Tucker said what I said, Uh, be respectful of the game, be respectful of your teammates. Make your wishes known. But some things are fine done in private. And that's just the bottom line, keeth. I feel he's entitled to say whatever he wants to say. I am sick of the league. They can penalize people for speaking out. I thought America was the freedom of speech right now, when you got a job and you signed contracts with clauses that you need to behave, that you

want that. He is behavior just because he said he don't want to play there anymore. James hard on all these shenanigans over the last five seasons, and he ain't not one word he did. He did not go ahead, finish, finished, but he didn't say a word. He got his actions. His actions was worse. His actions was worse than him saying anything. If you look at the situation, his actions were way worse than saying anything.

If he did a lot of closed door stuff, which I think fans pay their money to want to know what's going on, right, because who's paying their salaries? We ain't not the fans, the ticket sales barely barely barely, the city taxes, Yeah that's true, that's true. Who paying those salaries? The city taxes? Who buying those jerseyss? All the people who want to know paying something, Yeah, we're paying them for them seats. What about the ones who don't go to the game but buy jersey every

year. See, that's on your own personal thing. So I'm saying that much that money's not going directly. And then they tried to they hit him with seventy five thousand. He ain't Lebron James exactly. You just no, no, no, cac just ended his own story. Whoa, whoa, whoa, You ain't who so you don't have the influence to be out here, just shown Hold on second number one. He made thirty three a year, number two, nine year. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, not thirty

three years he got he can he got paid this year. He got paid. Yes, if that my thing is this? My thing? My thing is this? Well an I'll say this because y'all be acting like guys like uh, the guys like PJ. Tucker, uh, Patrick Beverly, These guys who may not necessarily stack up in statistically, they may not stack up with Lebron James and Russell rust Brook, but they still should have. They're still in the rotation, and they're in there for a reason. And as

much as Lebron James, I'll use the magazine because you use him. As much as Lebron James brings value to this team, he can't do it by hisself. We've seen that numbers numerous of times. So guys like Tristan Thompson, guys like PJ. Tucker, guys like Patrick Beverly, they do other things that brings something to this team that can get you to a championship. When PJ. Tucker was in the rotation, Beverly, Patrick Beverly, Yeah, Patrick Beverley. When these guys, well, I'll said this with PJ.

Tucker, when he was in the rotation in Milwaukee, he wasn't averaging twenty two and ten. He was averaging two or three of points a game, maybe seven rebounds, maybe three or four assists. But that type of stuff. He brought tenacity to the team that we call them dogs. He brought that to the team. So when they y'all talk about just because you're pretty much tell a shut up and play basketball, be looking your team, I don't think that's what the NBA was just saying, shut up, play

basketball, let us. But the NBA was saying, PJ. Don't, you're making too much noise. That's what people, that's what the NBA is saying you make it too much noise here seventy five grand shut up, But they not saying if you cause the thing about PJ players like PJ Tucker, they can't put on a fat suit and then walk around because we're not gonna we ain't gonna pay attention to that man, look out of shame. We don't care about that. We care about James harden to be out to say,

because he's the main focus of a team. But I just hate the fact that both of youall points was you don't really bring nothing to this team. So this shut up and fall back. I did not say shut up and fall back. You didn't shut up and shut up, and you said you shouldn't be making too much noise and be lucky on the team. I said that what I said, So that's what That's not what I said. That's what you're said, And what was your incentive? The word is you

should have said that's what you would sinuated? Right, I get nothing I'm talking about A centis nothing out I'm talking about PJ. So but what did you what were you saying that? What I was saying was you should have some tactfulness behind what your But you also said. He shouldn't have said it. He shouldn't up. He's out the rotation. Well, to take it up with your coach. And my thing is this, Guys like that need to be in a rotation, so when they're not, they need to say

something because they could be in the G League next week. Get up with your coach. You think they won't say tucking to the league's he been in the league too long? They won't send him to the league. Okay, okay, he came from the G League. Why I wouldn't send them back. I'm gonna take like this, PJ. Tucker, thank you for all. He'll retire before you go back to the G League. I know he

needed, you know, he needed he needs this check. You see he quiet since that seventy five thousand five and had nothing to say after that. Yeah, because they sent them home. Okay, he J. Tucker's actions were destrimental to his team. Bottom line. I'm all about you wanting to go, but at this point in your career, be as good as you can in practice, be as good playing the nasist role because you're on the

verge of possibly winning a second championship. Don't be destrimental to your team, Because now that PJ said what he said, guess what the new reports are. They're Lincoln Paul George back to the Pacers. So now it has all eyes on the Clippers again for a negative way, and they've already had to deal with the James Harden fallout. So maybe that's what the Clippers wanted.

I don't think you need that distraction on your team. PJ is can still be a veteran player on a team, but when he says he wants to have a role, he doesn't have big roles anymore. In Philly, did you forget? Did you forget? He was traded to them, and he didn't have a choice in that trade. I don't think he would have went to Clippers knowing their bench and their rotation and high with But what I'm saying is in Philly he didn't have a role. He was a rotation guy.

He was pre rotation. Barely play, barely held. He didn't even start like fifteen twenty minutes a game, barely fifteen. That's all he looking for, it, that's all he's looking for. He did not play that much. He did not play that much. But he did not But to narrowly all down at the end of the day, PJ presidence on the court is very valuable to any roster. They just chose, They just chose not to go with him at all and just let him sit, which is a problem.

If I'm him, I got the same problem. I mean, I think I have the same problem too, if I'm PJ Tucker, I mean, I guess my question, like I said before, is about other guys who aren't she had he's been been penalized for speaking his mind. I guess if you did not follow the Players Association agreement. Yes, finds are fines, So how does that find work? Did they pay that all at one time or did they take it out of the check it out? They check

out their check, the whole check, the whole check. So if it's check is let's say three point five, they're gonna take seventy five kouts penalty. Did they get paid per game they play? They get a check or direct deposit every day from what I from what I've been told, so from how I've been educated, they get weekly pay. So it's no. Here's

why that's not true. They get bi weekly paid for basketball, I mean for basketball because the season is only eight months so they break it down from what I was told from the people close to the game, because you got insid that's not what I'm saying. The reason that they're paid every day is because they're taxed in the city that they play. So you can't get paid

weekly. Oh you said they get paid every day. They get paid every time they play a game because they're taxed in every state that they play. So how you gonna pay me by weekly? What are you gonna have on there, Wisconsin tax tex I heard both. What they do is you'll get a lot of per game you play. So let's just say you have some games in two weeks. So from an insider, the game you play,

you'll get tax based on that game that you'll get. So the NBA players get paid bi weekly during the NBA season, figured twenty four checks a year, twice a month first and fifteen kind of like my fellow state employees. And then on top of that, they like well football players different. So so nevertheless, how much does PJ make a year? What is Pj's contract? You know, Drake will get in there. You want to brought it up thirty three million, So PJ. Tucker makes eleven million dollars a year.

I was just gonna say that. I'm just gonna say that PJ average twenty two minutes for the season. Okay, so minutes a game divided by twenty four, PJ gets about four hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars a check. Okay, that's that's not before taxes. He can take that seventy five here of course. Again. So here's the thing, casey, I know you feeling like seventy five to one check Again, we're speaking like people who

don't have millions of dollars. Okay, we're business. Think about us, all think about us like if we ever get a speeding ticket or a hospital bill. We like, y'all want this all at once, you know what I'm saying. We try to spread out if we go under, if we go buy some shoes, we just be like, all right, two hundred whatever. No, because some of y'all use after pay. That's wild speak. No I'm talking. No, let me stop. I mean like that.

I't mean like that. So I ain't mean like that. And that's the one one number two after pay, do come in clutch shout after pay. But I'm just saying, first of all, dre don't do that. Beep yourself out tone. No, My thing is I said that because Nike they real, they're real funny about that. Nike funny about it. If anybody ever that's funny. After anything, I'm not not connected. Some people need it. But we are creating, not trans You take what so so,

tone, we can after pay you next month. Okay, then okay, I was but I take it all I'm saying because we are continuing to develop habits to encourage people's poor spending for craft they don't eat but little bit since when I brought it up a little bit, how that does or if you're up spending it does just at the at the end of the day, I get it even if but just think of it like this, Even if they make let's say twenty million, they're only getting paid ten million of that

after taxes to eat all of that up ten millions, but over twenty four payments, are you really that's five hundred thousand? Are you really got sent five thousands of that are right now? The Jackson State hoodie? Where did you get the Jackson State hoodie from? Oh? Did you get that from that HPCU website? Yeah, this is HP. It was on the HBCU website, not support black colleges, but uh, support black college you get

from support black colleges. Yeah, I thought support black college was exclusive to try to support black colleges, although I don't think that's from there because support black colleges is exclusive to their own brand. Hey, thank you, you had no problem? Now you good? You good, Thanks for listening, thanks for watching support. Appreciate you, Kristal, you appreciate that. My thing about that, But like I said before, this is just not for

peace. Say, this is just I'm talking about for everybody. This is because this is something that affects other players too. But I think PJ left Philly thinking he's gonna be in the rotation in Los Angeles and if he if he could veto the trade, he would have, but unfortunately he couldn't. So next topic. Uh, like I said before, this weekend was All Star weekend Friday and Saturday. Starting with Friday that did this celebrity basketball game

results? Did you guys check out any of these stuff on Friday and Saturday? Ask that. First of all, i'mna be honest with you. I don't have cable, so I have zero desire to even see the aust There was nothing appealing to me about it. Maybe you should try after bank. Well, I don't have cable because because I can't afford what, I'm not gonna say. I'm not gonna say what I'm gonna say. I'm not gonna say what I want to say. Could your cheap? That's why you ain't

That is a good compromise. I don't think it's gonna pay. I think well again, First of all, just thin attending. You're talking about watching, bro, You're talking about watching what you could have tut time talking about. Temme me. First of all, if I was attending, got nothing coming you're talking about I'm all Start weekend. I see what I see

you get back, Let's bring it back. I see you when I see you really quick there, really quickly talking about All Star Weekend the Bucks put in for twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven, which they would did no wish. They shouldn't even have to do. Here's no next to All Star games, they'll be in California. Really well, you gotta remember Milwaukee has a hotel problem. But with the d n C we fixed that. Well,

it is being fixed. With the RNC coming in a couple of months, we're adding I think they said Milwaukee is adding over one thousand new rooms between downtown and other areas. So now that the Bucks don't have a hotel problem, we should get So you said we didn't get it the first night. We had a hotel problem. That's that's the NBA was clear about it. And where and we're an hour away from Illinois. Why the NBA was

clear about that. We we okay, we had an I don't know, it's not the d n C wasn't considering Milwaukee because we had a hotel problem. But we got it. Shout out to the then governor and then mayor who made that work. Same with the Republican National Convention. No matter what side you're on, you want these things in your city because of economic revenue. People who hate basketball want the All Star Game because of the revenue for

the businesses. Come on, man, I've never had a chance to actually go to the All Star Game. I hope to do it when it's in a warmer climate, Like I'm not going nowhere cold, Like I'm not leaving Wisconsin to go to Indiana. They had a snowstorm Indiana. That's what I'm saying, Like, I'm not doing that. I'm remember one, I agree with you. Number two is just the fact that I just feel like because they in the mid with they did Chicago not too long ago, they did

Indiana. We should have been next up, just to get it out the way. But you also remember the Bucks Arena, although new, it is one of the most it doesn't hold a lot we host. It's one of the smallest stadium. Yeah lot it is. We don't hold a lot. We only hold it actually holds less than the Bradley Center thirty. It's like seventeen thousand, seventeen. It's like seventeen thousand. It's that lows like twenty

maybe eighteen. It is not it's like twenty something twenty what who thirty I don't know what Bradley, but the if izer from holes like seventeen or eighteen thousand, you know us. I'm just saying attention. You pay attention in your money. What about you? Did you watch the games? What you think I watched everything? You think, Well, I'll say this celebrity basketball game I did not watch because seventeen thousand and five hundred that's hilarious. Well,

no, I didn't watch it because I ain't gonna hold you. I was looking at the list of people, the celebrities in there. I was like, who is that? Who is that? It was too many? Who's is that? I did whole seventeen thousand, five hundred people? That's crazy? And then what else? I said? The only reason I was gonna watch it because of Kai And then I see he ain't getting no no ticking, wasn't getting the ball. So I kind of like tuned out Bradley

center. Hell, who is that? He a streamer? They're talking about the thousand people? Who is due? I mean, like a streamer, So one of the best streamers in the world. What do you mean he's one of the most famous streamers in the world. Like video streamers don't show your age. Why why is he so famous though? What makes you stream? Because the kids? The kids love him? Why the kids love him? What did he do in his stream? I be watching watching them.

They will never get into I don't know. I don't know. I did see all. I didn't see a highlight where he had NICKI Minaj on there one time. Yeah, he had a whole bunch of famous people in there. But the point is this though, like open front room. But uh, but my think about that, Like I said, I was trying to I was watching for that reason. Whatever se he's gonna get see if he's gonna get the rot. He did not, And then so I stopted with

I don't want I ain't really watch that. But I watched the Rising Stars Tournament a little bit. I watched Jalen Brown doing the dut context. Well, I didn't really get we're talking about all over the place. I'm gonna say, because nobody care about the celebrity. I'm just seeing what I watched. Go ahead, it's too late. Can you go back? Bro, you talked about Valentine's Day for like ten minutes. Well, y'all brought it

up. You brought it up, Crystal brought it up. I moved on and then she came me a solution, Crystal, thank you for watching the man uh and the other people that are so okay. So that was That was Friday. That was Friday. Saturday, you no. Friday ended with the NBA Skills Challenge. Keisa, did you see the skills Challenge? I did. How did you feel about the Skills Challenge? I like it every year? Uh to this year? To me, I have a question about

that because I did really quickly. I feel like, to me, the competitiveness, that's the word. I know, you're going whatever. I feel like it's non existent, I'm gonna say. And then with watching this Skills Challenge, I think Indiana took pride in it just because they were in the home state, which you should, and that's why they want because these other dudes they went the wrong way. You got the referee call go back to this other way. No, you're going the wrong way again. I'm like,

how did you not? It was just a I just feel like, yeah, they just I watched it, but I don't think I really paid attention to to all of that. I just think it was just a part of All Star Weekend. It's just something to kill some time. Okay, we got before you say that, you know how like you played beer pong all night before. Never played it either, I've never even though I went to Whitewater, I've never played. Oh, you were busy doing things anyway.

Anyway, So let me say this. Let me say this about what I saw. Here's why to me, the All Star Game and weekend is a joke. I saw Anthony Edwards in the Skills Challenge shooting backwards shots. M hm. So it's like you're not even trying to win, You're not even trying to make it competitive. It has never been really that competitive in the Skills Challenge. It was it was just easy for him. I think Steph Curry is you know, I honestly think veterans taken a little bit more

serious than the younger guys. Yeah. I honestly think Steph Curry is a little more of a higher caliber athlete than them. So the thing is that they did in the Skill Challenge was a little bit more easier for him. He even said he was gonna shoot left handed. No, I'm sorry that word shot left handed during the Skills Challenge and Stephan and barn shot backward shots. So you got these new guys in the All Star Game and it's not even taking it serious. So how do we as fans like, come on,

y'all and we're basketball, but it's the skills challenge basketball? Are you going Friday night to the All Star weekend? If it's in the city, I'm gonna do everything. It comes in the package. You show up, Like when I go to NBA Summer League, I go to you know, gonna go to all the games, Gonna go to the US game because it's a part of the package. But I'm not investing, like, oh my god, I gotta be home Friday night to watch this. Yeah, it

used to be. It used to be for the dunk Contest and the three point Contest. It used to be I uh okay, well moving forward to that Saturday was so Damian Lillard one goes back to back as three point contest winner. The three point Contest to me, is starting to be the most popular thing. And I always watched it every single the year. You know. To me, it used to be a dunk contest. I used to skip the three point Contest to watch it. Even when they was in it.

I was like, I don't care about this, so again, the talent was better back then too, so you had to watch both right when Jordan and them had the All Star Even when I'm gonna say that even to PG, even early Lebron and Kobe All Star games were competitive, Lebron never participated anything. I'm talking about just the game. So, I mean, the three point contest for me was always my favorite. The dunk contest was just the icing on the cake. The NBA now allegedly has better shooters than

back then, which they probably did. You probably so no doubt that that should have been But everybody just want something close though that in the finals, uh oh, Cat Cat and the Leonard we alerd Cat Anthony Dallas and and he beat him on the last row. But they had to have a shootout because four people all got the same score twenty six. Yeah, and then uh yeah, and then uh, what's it called hit twenty nine? Didn't he Yeah? At the buzzer, I thought, oh, no, twenty

four, it was twenty six. It was twenty four. He had twenty four. Carl after how had twenty four, then Dame that last one six. So I just think people just want to see something competitive. Also, a good conversation that uh that Kenny and was having Kenny and Regy was having Kenny and Kenny don't want to give it to nobody, by the way, but continue his commentary. It is after after the three point contest, we had Steph is Sabrina something the old girl who literally only missed one shot a

three point shootout. So when they get it, the actual Mascha who was better up a good point, the kind of proved that he should the women should be allowed in the three point come. I said that last week, and I was told no by someone at this table. I did what I said, but he got the wrong last night by saying Sabrina who also hit twenty six Steph at twenty nine from the NBA three point line step at twenty nine. Now here's the thing, Tony Ton, I'm glad, I'm glad

you brought that up. I'm glad you brought that up. No. No, the reason why I say step Count is because he is the epitome. He's a shooter shot he got Relax. There's a lot of people that were actually disappointed you weren't there next sitting next White Relax really quickly, really quickly. Uh, you brought up two things that I found interesting. They were saying because Kenny was on excuse me my language. Kenny was on everybody else

last night, from the Dunk Contest, the True point contest. He was on everybody but last night. But I just want to say this. Do you think now you're right? Dreg you brought this up last week? I think the ladyship produce a painting another that thing. I was like, man, please yes, And Steph Curry didn't win this boo that man boo, that man, that man boo that man. Now what I say to this no time of that time. No, no, got a little w w E belt. No one cares. What the point? No, no,

no, no, it's a it's a principle. It's not a principle. If you're gonna, if you're gonna beat you want to get what you What you're saying is that that women are beneath me? Is that what you're saying. What I'm saying is when it comes to competitive basketball, we're on two different levels. I'm sorry, I won't say that because the three point contest? Are you willing to are we gonna? Are we gonna clip? Are we gonna? Are we going to lower the rim and then put the limit

of dunk contest. Wow, I'm just saying that's just what it is. There are certain things that very second, even if you want to post the post three point contest is one of those examples that it can be. I got my microphone over here. It's even playing you. Thrina literally scored just the same way everybody else did. The only different that Sabrina had compared to everybody else from the n B A is w n B A ball. You got a smaller ball because she got a smaller hand. She got a w

NBA ball. Yeah, that's only different because they got smaller ball, smaller and they they was like, hey, you want to shoot from w n B A lamb. She was like, nah, I'll shoot. I was like, I'll shoot from uh where you shoot from? I was like oh, and only lost by one shot. Now, I also want to say, I want to say this too. Still looks like he wasn't trying to take its area. So I was like, all right, step I say. Steph also sat down the whole time, and Kennington broke up a good

point. Steph has been playing so shooters. You still technically hot, You got your rhythm she's in the off season, so all she got is whatever shoot she been doing with the team USA right now, all she got is time. So she should be warmed up too. I'm not saying she shouldn't be, but we gotta give credit. What credit due? Do you only lose by basically two buckets? So are you saying that this should be a

yearly thing? Look, what I'm saying is, if you want to spice up the All Star weekend, here's here's a good example right here, four and four for the best women shooters in the league. But they're gonna be looking for a check. They already feel like they're not getting paid enough, so they're definitely gonna be looking for a check to participation. If you if you are, if you turn the ind of your season out as one of the four best percented shooters, don't you think you should get a check for

that? I think you should. You get invited to the All Star Game. That's a check. Basketball players are already overpaid. They closely, they're not close. But let's not But let's not act like that's because of sexism. That's because I just want to say it, because people are watching,

Because there are people out there that said stuff like that. The reason that they're not paid as much is because the sport doesn't make near as much money because Dre doesn't have w n B app when's the last time you watch the w n B A game. I watched it every summer, lies you? How you gonna tell me? I watch it every summer every summer. Okay, let's take that probably the finals. If we take the probably when it's the w NBA finals, you're not enough to get home because it's the Miami

Heat, the opportunity for somebody to want a couple of them. So some create more recognizable names because mister w n b A. A lot of these women that play I've never heard of because they don't catch my attention. But if I'm watching a three point contest and here's this chick who literally made every single shot but one. Okay, now, when I hear that name, or you know, sabringa such and such as a New York Liberties as playing, Oh, let me go ahead and check this game. So you're telling

me because you just gave a whole speech. You mean, because w NBA players are playing, you're gonna start playing attention. I catch a game of two. I'm not gonna sit there. No, I'm about to I'm about to the three point. I said that last year. I have daughters. Okay, I have daughters, so naturally my natural habit is to try to let them see themselves in ways that they may not think about. So here you are as three four great women who can shoot from anywhere, who are

now competing against the same men that Daddy watches all the time. You know, you go down to the game with me, you see Dame litter Hey, you recognize him. That's Dame time and you see him barely, you know, making it past this this girl from New York. Now you look at life a little bit differently. So I get all of that tone. But at the end of the day, how much money are you going to spend on the ticket? I might my kids, I probably got try.

All I ask is to you can try. How many tickets are you going to actually buy? That's the problem, and that's where the money comes in, because it's not enough ticket sales, is not enough, endorsements. It's barely on TV. But I it's not enough. It's not enough of anything that has to do with the w n B A and it's not the culture, but let's try it. You've changed the All Star Game. I changed

to be on a stupid wheel one year that did absolutely nothing. But to be honest with you, I think college girls basketball it's more entertaining it is, so let me ask you. Let me bring that's okay, let me bring this back. The n b A and the w n b A are are managed by the same conglomerate of leaders. Right, w n b A has its own commissioner, but Adam Silver is calling the shots over there to okay, he's making suggestions, he's calling the shots. He's making suggestions.

They have their own commissioner. Adam Silver oversees all that. That's his bubble. Believe it, Believe me? Do they have their own Do they have their own commission I said that you're acting like he big man and they just trust me. I like, because he's a man. Dre I bet he ain't making what albums? This is? This is, this is what I'm saying. You know why he not making it? Because dre Ain got season tickets to the w n b A. I'm talking about the w A A

commissioner ain't making with Adams Silver has a second job. She has a second job. She does have a second job. So what's your second job? I don't know, getting con at the So what I'm saying is I think the NBA should look at Adam Silver had his hand on the NBA week helping him out. He had I'm talking about just NBA All Star Weekend. Adam Silver had it figured out up until a couple of years ago when he incorporated the HBCUs, when he incorporated the Kobe Quarter, when he incorporated all this

stuff. He brought in mac Miller from the G League to let them start name mac mcclun. Whoever brought him in, brought him in, brought him in, let the G League start playing. All I'm saying is I would love to see for the w n B a more incorporating to the sport, because if we wanted to be on the level of the NBA, it starts with exposure. It starts with people being able to see. Now this this lady that played against Steph Curry. By the way, nobody has saturname except

for me. But what's her name? So Sabrina something. So Sabrina who played against Stephan Curry. Now that she played against Steph and only lost by one. You don't think people are gonna start paying attention to her. Her team, they said, they was like Kenny Smith, they said he was drunk, but they was like, you should bring in Caitlyn Clark next year, see if she can the college kid ye who is being called the best

shooter since Steph Curry. So I would love to see the w n b A incorporated into the All Star weekend because it's a showcase of everything that then, so then maybe maybe the w n b A season should be doing a different time then, you know, I'm saying different than what they're already doing. They should be doing the NBA season, cause you already have football, you have baseball, you have and then you have the NBA that are all

competing. Again, all she got, all they got is the summertime when everybody else is if they get all the NBA players on vacation, they sharing arenas, all the NFL players on vacation in the summer camp, they sharing arena with some of these places, with some of these teams where you think the New York Liberty players they played in Manister Square Garden, so l A Sparks playing. So then so if the l A Spark play in Los Angeles. Let them play at four o'clock and the Lakers play at seven o'clock.

So I don't work for the NBA, but I'll tell you this that might be able to get more fans home up. I tell you this, I serve forum for a Marquet game at four and a Bucks game at seven. It is not as easy to turnover a stadium as people think it is. All leave the game ended at six and they have to convert the stadium over quickly, and they almost didn't do it. So that's not as easy as people think. They feel you but they don't have to change anything. They

say the same, Yeah they do. If it's to change the lane, they have to change I guess the seating the courts. Well, if they want they want the NBA parts, then they're gonna have to figure that out. Look at the end of the day, I hate to be this guy, but y'all making me this guy. Don't blame us. I'm just saying I don't mind being this guy, but we're not going to see so Crystal. To clarify, the side of the shirt is where you buy this outfit.

It's the African American College Alliance, but we told her support Black college. Those are two different webs. I believe in Crystal like you believe in the w n b A. I'll be a little bit her. I believe in her a little bit more than anyways. I don't know. I think she was gonna come here with me with a paragraph. I know, I

think she's gonna be with a paragraph later, but really quickly. Another somebody suggested that the NBA do one on one tournament during the Austin y'all don't want to see a one on one tournament, but y'all want to see the w n b A take part in it. I want to see it. I just said it would be dope that they added it's it's it's it's so, here's why I one on one time on time. You mean to tell me

all these suggestions. That's ally, But at the end of the day, y'all don't want to see it. Listen the one on them some money, the one on one tournament. The male ego is too fragile. The NBA would never do it the one time. If they tried it with Shaq and Elija, you w on it never happened. They looked like one on one. Dude, Taco Bill had a whole campaign about it. Don't remember the Taco Bell cups, Elijah w On versus shot one on one PEPSI. They

had a whole campaign and never end up happening. And it never end up. It would never happen. Okay, So this question, so y'all don't want to y'all don't want to see that. You don't want to see that. I would love to see that, a one on one tournament between hu though whoever. Listen, if players had to sign up for that, they don't our best players on I think they would Our best players don't play now, nd James signing enough for that. No, it's Stephen Curry signing that.

No, maybe maybe Steph Lebron James is not going to be a fight. What you mean is one on one, one on one, that's when all the fights go down. Wow, yeah, I want to see it. You know how many times we fought when we was playing one on one? Yeah, we were kids. We're not making three hundred thousand dollars a game. Go on, go on YouTube and look at those one on one back. They're talking crazy too, They're talking to crazy what they're gonna do. Come on, man, I still want to see it. I would

like to see it. I think it would be a unique concept for the NBA to try, But the NBA egos would never It's my thing, y'all, brother talk about that's clarity really quickly, y'all making all these suggests for the w n B. I think that I say, hey, let's do it one on one tournament. I don't want to see that. I would, I would, I would, I would like. I think a three on three tournament would be dope. It's the same thing, not the same thing. Why why not the same thing? Why not? Because the ego

can be protected in a three on three by blaming somebody else. If you do a three on three, you got Steph Clay and who's the third Draymond against Lebron on a D and who's their third spencer than Witty? Now, so I think I think a three on three would be more desirable for fans. Uh. But I think a one on one you put you risk more injury, you risk, and then the male ego is not gonna lie with Lebron would never do it. He would, Kevin Durant would never do it.

Kevin Durant will Kevin Durant will do it. He don't want that embarrassment. They don't want that. Man. Wow, he has never been in a three point contest. He could have. He shouldn't, but he could have. He could have. Lebron has never done the doc hunt. I think one. I think when you could have I think one. Well, that's true too. I think when it comes to one on one, it's

more I'm calling this person out. Once you call somebody out, that's it like either you a gonna get in here or you're gonna cower cower away. I just feel like that's I don't know, that's an interesting But we are gonna have a week with our basketball after the like four days. I think he's like four days, but Thursday to Thursday next week. I think about it if you asked me. But we're at the half we're kind of at the halfway point. A little over forty games where we're at the halfway point.

And if the halfway point, if the season ended today, I have a couple of awards that I want to go over. And what do you what do you guys think? What are your guys picks? First up? MVP who is your MVP? If the season ended today, who's the MVP? Would you like me to go first? Yeah? Joker? Really yes? Back to back? I can't say back to back this last year because they sacrificed. He gave it to MBS crying Joker. Joker is playing the

best basketball in the NBA right now. He's the most consistent Giannis in the close second. Uh. If I had to pick someone who's ever got it, it would be Shy. But I'm giving it a Joker right now, Casey George or did you want me to go go ahead? I got I'm

speaking of I got s g A. He's falling somebody. I've seen a clip that I think it was from a Gilly The Gilly Show, Gil with Arena's show, and he was talking about how every team has a veteran or have veterans who you know they're in this via MVP conversation from Joker to Jannis.

They have other These are veteran teams with veteran players alongside these guys with the Oklahoma City Thunder, I believe they're in second or third place, and it's like, I say, it's just him, but as a team that this is A. This is a very young team and I don't even think he's He's probably one of the oldest oldest plays on the team and I don't think he's thirty yet. So for him to me, I think for it to be somebody, I think it's always should be body different every year.

And I feel like once you say once, you just say, like what's just say you said joker? Once you names like Joker and stuff like that. One of those things were like, let's see what else we got or who else can be? Who else could be? An m v P. I think, Okay, Oklahoma City Thunder right now are in second place, so and they're they're beating teams like Denver, they're beating teams like the Clippers.

Who's in a close second, I mean second third? But to me, I think s g A. I don't even know, I can't even pronounce his name, is like KEP saying Shy guildres Alexander. Okay, but I think he's playing the best ball out of everybody. It's a shame is a shy. So then I'm only my only thing is why isn't Tatum in that discussion right now? And they got and they got the best record in the league right now, taking shave because they got the best record in the

league. But if you look on that at the actual talent, he's not more talented than Tatum. I think he is, he's not. He's balling bro I think he's playing good basketball, but he's not Tatum. He's fourth and scoring. Let's just they're just trying to give him some credit because he over there. Okay, see, ain't nobody else to shoot the ball. He gotta do what he do. They're in number two. There's plenty of people that can shoot the ball. Now I'm not saying there's plenty people that

can shoot the ball, but they can play. That's even more credit to him as a basketball player. Just because they ball out of control and just because there they don't have a stacked squad. I think the thing about Boston and Jason Tatum is that their team is stacked. If you on paper, Jason Tatm's in top five. Like I said, he's in top five, but he wouldn't be neither of the two we just mentioned. So to KEI

who you got? Zeke, who you got? She got? The whole thing about Now that's did you say you're honest alone along Ricky of the Year? Easy? Is he your Rocky of the Year or is you picking him because you think everybody else gonna pick up? Bro? He has unprecedented numbers. Are you kidding me? Victor h biyamba? Bro? I like Chat, there's a lot he's he's he's averaging Ricky of the Year to pass Michael Jordan's scoring a thousand points. Remember, I don't I need to see it.

You show me that doesn't I didn't that either. Well, I'm Shae. I'm mussing with Shae. Two close close, third is uh what's his name? Brandon Miller? He's been coming up. But Shaye is averaging Chat is averaging seventeen. I think Wimble is averaging twenty. So it has been a little bit more consistent and they got a better record, and they have a better record. Victor wimby Yama joins the one thousand point club. Victor mbamba you twenty this year, So I'm not okay. He okay. He's

the fastest rookie to a thousand points. Uh. The last two months, Victor has averaged twenty one point eight points a game, nine point six rebounds, three point seven assists, three point five blocks, two steals and only playing about twenty seven minutes a game. Uh huh, Victor's that rookie of the year. All right, don't take it away. Stop hating. Take it away. But you've been hating on Victor since you don't even give them man's name, right, Like, at least you try other names. You

call him wingspan. I gonna understand your point is Victor Wingspan? Okay? Now, if I say he's a bus and he's proven me wrong, yes I did. I showed him a bus. He just proved me wrong. He's not a buzz. So I'm just saying I just feel like I don't want to give it to him just because I feel like I said like he's he was right. I think Chet's been a little bit more consistent. It's kind of hard to it's easy for check to kind of hide just because of

the season that SGA is having. But to me, I think he's rookie of the year. I think he's been playing really consistent ball. I think he's averaging sixteen seventeen a game, fifty percent from the field, seven boards three or eight boards three is so I think it's just one of the things where like, eh, yeah, yeah, well, I'm sorry, Defensive Player of the Year. M it would have been in bed for me. I can see that it would have been in bed. But he's been out.

That's a horrible one for me, man, because unfortunately, man, and I'm gonna say this, the n b A is not known for defense anymore. Very true, you know it. It doesn't make money, as Tone said, and teams are lacking that. So that's because of certain rules that are in the game now you can't play the way you used to play. So Jaron Jackson is playing really good defensive basketball. Rudy Gobert is playing really really good defensive basketball. Marcus Smart hasn't played at all this year.

Jannis is playing really good defensive basketball. I like to do what he's a three blocks a game. I don't want to. This is the same hull up before I'm gonna need you out of the reason. I'm having a rebuttal, y'all are the same people last week just said it's time for Brooke to hang it up. Well, first, that wasn't me. I said that. He said that, not me, said thank you, that's number one,

number two. I wasn't gonna go Brook as far as def player the year number two, I was gonna say, because I said that, I wasn't gonna give it to him. It's Rudy Gobert or Jared Allen. Man, Rudy Gobert or Jared Allen. I'm gonna go with Rudy Gobert. Why Jared Allen? What has Jared Allen done so good? Well, he's averaging several blocks per game. Several His rebounding what several I'm gonna giving you in

a second, his rebounding right now, this is what he's averaged. He's averaging fifteen points a game, ten rebounds a game, and two point eight block shots a game. That's pretty. That's a nice all around. That's a double double. I don't think that's correct. He's looking at the stats right now. Well, I mean you're no, no, no, no, no. He just likes Brooks so much that he wants to always make a case for Brook. Okay, Brook is old. We appreciate him,

but it's I'm gonna let it go. Pack it up, as we used to say in the waters, pack it up. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with Jared Allen. But I also like Rudy Gobert man with Jared Allen. I know y'all hate him, but Rudy Gobert as a defensive president. R Here here are the favorites. If you just worried quickly, Jared Jared Allen is number one, check home number two, Victor wing Span for three, and bam, Rudy's not the top five. I got top four,

I didn't get top I'm okay with that list. But we know the n b A. I think, I think, I honestly think will get Defensive Player of the Year and doubt they'll give They'll give Victor Wingspan, Rickie. I don't think they give this award to a rookie. I don't think the politics, Oh he just had ten blocks. I don't think the politics will let it be those those ten blocks are not equal to a win.

They did not equal to a win. And like I said before, I got come from him naturally, being seven foot tall, seven foot four, Like like Victor, if you try to shoot off roim me just gonna take it out the air. Kyrie's scooped him up. I was like, ooh, Tyree's I see I mean, Kyrie, I'm sorry dropped him off, though he scooped him up real quick. I was like the left hand. It was with the left hand. This is a newer this is a newer award. Davis had a pretty good defensive year, though. Does he even

qualify he even pay enough games? What do you mean? He didn't even miss no game this year? But like three? Three? What he missed three games? No, he did not look it up. He missed like three games this year. Since you like your laker, since you like to stand behind your laker stats, I guarantee you that's wrong. I don't know if it's wrong. I don't know if it was right. Oh, I know it's wrong. Three games, bro, I'm just saying three games.

He's averaging twenty five about games as he played games, all many games as he played comeball. You need to stop at least at least show some effort here. What was I gonna say? Oh, clutch player of the year. He's played fifty two games so far, and there's been how many games so far? He's there's no way he's played fifty two games and ain't been fifty two games in the season as it. It's no All Star break signifies

forty don't know it doesn't you sure he's played fifty two games? He played as he meant, he played fifty six games last year, all of last year, all of last year. That's what's up and provement. So I don't know, said sentences help you stay? So what's the Lakers record? If he played the Lakers record is what trash? He's played fifty two games. That's not what you are such a hater though, Hey, that's what it is. Trash. The Los Angeles Lakers have played, the played fifty,

yeah, fifty six games this year. The lost only missed four games. The Los Angeles Lakers have played six games. And he played how many? So you said three? No, I said like three games. I said more than three. So I was right. I'm not gonna do that with you, man, I was right. You're wrong. You said three. You said, you said he has missed a lot of games. Four games considered a lot of games. I said he's missed more. You said three, and I said he's missing he's missed like two or three games.

And then you said he's missed way more than that. I said, he's missed more than three, and he missed more than three or nine, way more than that he missed more than three or now, Patty, Patty, Paddy, Patty, miss Patty? Did he miss bardy three? Though? I know he you know he did it, Patty, But some Paddy, Hey draw you O. I bet you if I owed you twenty and I gave you nineteen, you're gonna be like you O be twenty. They thirty and twenty six they suck. They only you won't be twenty. Right,

You're gonna want that dollar. They're not that bad because that bad twenty six trash. It's only three games and they be in sixth place. Come on, I got a house, and not about the Lakers trash the year. Just ask the question. They're trash. They're trash. I didn't ask why are you so angry? Man? That man Anthony Davis has had a good season. I think he can be the player, but he's not even the top five right now. I'm just what I'm saying is this No, I'm

saying no, that's you right, I'm saying you're picking him. Yeah, get them Lakers and get them Lakers in there, Lakers in the bucks. Anyways, I don't even know. I don't even know what you would do with the Lakers play the Bucks in the NBA Final. What you're gonna do with that? What you're gonna do with that Lakers jersey? What you're gonna do with that? Keysy Bucks, Lakers make it to the NBA Finals, What you're gonna do? Watch the game? Who you cheering for? I'm

watching the game, America while you got I'm Lakers fan here. So what happens is if it's the Bucks and the well, that's not going to be them. You know, neither of them are going. But I will and I will always I will always hear from Markey. Ask anybody who's ever gone to a Golden State game with me? But when they played you, but you step this was this was if I hold nuts, bron Drake gonna be

like, yeah, let's go Bucks. And then soon as soon as Steph hit that corner three, I just I just I do that now, Like if y'all have both in the games with me, and players on the opposite team does something good on the Bucks, I'll clap and say, dang, that was good. I'm a fan of the sport. I'm not a bandwagon, right, Okay, it's okay for you the jump down my throat when I say something about Lebron and the lake you take you know you do.

You don't want to start holding the nuts? Name you holding Bron nuts. You're the first person who started that. Well, I mean because let him God say, well, letim go filthy. Out of the of the year for me right now is Dame Lillard man last year? Last year? Was Dame to last year? Last year? No, he didn't. Old boy from Sacramento. Oh the Aaron Fox. He Aaron Fox won last year? He did? He did? I think gonna get it this year, this year last but not least champion. Who do you think is gonna win this

year? Are we allowed to say? Oh, I'm sorry? Coach of the Year Doc Rivers, Hey, let me tell you something. He get into the finals. Give it to him. He's not even eligible because he didn't coaching up games. I don't think that. I don't think that block coach. I think it does you think? Look, I'm sure you're gonna look into it. But Coach of the year Timberwolves man, these come on?

No, im a coach I don't even know his name, coach of this kas Oklahoma City thunder him or I'm going to Boston coach who Boston. I'm going Chris Finch from the Minnesota timber Woods. Minnesota for years, I'm going to have been a number really quickly. I'm sorry, where are you going with him? They got the best worker in the league, so he deserved Coach of the Year. No, that don't make you a good coach. That's number one. Number two. Your team has to be doing something

that they're not. Boston built for a champions They only lost twelve games. They're built for a championship. It's gotta be some coaching in there too, So it ain't just about it ain't just about the players. Because twelve losses that's pretty good in US sixty games almost. If they don't, that team is built to win seventy two games. Seventy two games, I'm going with

everything touching coaching has nothing to do with it. I'm going with Chris Finch from the Minnesota timber Woods because Minnesota are number one at the All Star Break. If they can finish top to that number two, they're number one. They will be. If they can finish number one in the Eastern in the Western Conference they can finish, that'll be the highest probably since they pat KG in company. He's coaching some big egos over there, some big egos.

Edwards Cat them, Cat's got egos. Dot is young and dumb. Egos are young and dumb. So yeah, I like Minnesota's coach, but I also think the thunder could get it. I think Tyrone Luke can get it because people counted the Clippers out. Oh I know, they kill them off for a reason and the reason and now they're killing and why is that? Because the coach has got them on that why is that dress? Thank you Kawhi, But that's coaching. But if he played, we all knew,

if he played all year long, they'd have been won a championship. Now he playing, they win it. Milwaukee Bucks are two games away from being in fourth place, three games from we're gonna get to that. Uh, you got dovin Ham, so you just got jokes today. I like Boston deal. Really yeah. I like Boston coach. It takes a lot to get a team to build that chemistry to where they're at right now. The same team from Lantia just for two players, but they lost their defensive anchor

and they still in there. They got an even better one who Drew Holliday. But I'll say this holiday is not the same, and I loved you. You know I'm not the same Drews the Jews in a place where he's easy to hide, And I mean that as far as name wise, by the time you get to his name, who what the fourth best player on that team. He was the same thing in Milwaukee, no saying in Milwaukee's

probat of the big three. He's probably Big three at Milwaukee, so his it was always eyes on him, especially if Gianna didn't play NBA champ. I put in here top five. But if you just got the one, that's cool too. It's hard, man, it is the league has been. It's been so inconsistent around the whole league. Besides Boston. I don't know, but Boston has this record every year and they don't win it. So I can't say Boston. But there's nobody in the East right now,

in my opinion, that can beat the Boston Celtics. I don't think so either. So I got Boston, I got the Boston Celtics winning it this year. I got the Bucks in the East, and I got Denver in the West. Oh I forgot No. I'm just so are you going on top? Of five or you're just gonna go I'm talking about the whole thing. I'm not saying who's gonna play each other. I'm saying the whole thing. Who you think is gonna win it. I just need one team.

Either you can go, either you can get I'm gonna go top five Denver one, Bucks two, mm hm three maybe okay, see no, Minnesota three to win the title because they can play half core basketball. And if you can play half core basketball in the playoffs, that's that's a that's a big that's a big thing. It is a big thing. I think go ahead, got more four. I'm gonna go with Boston. You said Boston number one, number two? He said Bucks. I'm sorry, I said

Bucks one. I know I said Denver one, Bucks two. He said three. Okay, see four Minnesota and five Boston. Okay, So I'm gonna go with Boston one, Denver two, uh, Clippers three, Bucks four, and probably in the fifth I'm probably go with Phoenix. Who Phoenix fifth? Bill Allighan, Okay, I want you to know that I'm going. I'm going I'm going Clippers one. Oh you have Clippers won it at all. I honestly believe that I'm going Clippers. One. I'm going Denver.

Two, I'm going Boston. Three, I'm going Okay, see four, I'm going five. That say Boston, you haven't had Milwaukee yet, Well I go, I go Bucks. Five. It wasn't. I mean, I'm even gonna sit here in line. Well, I mean I don't have the Bucks getting out of the second round. So I don't have them. I don't have them getting out of the first round. Depends on what we play. So the Bucks are unfortunate. And that's gonna take us right into Bucks talk real quick. I don't so real quick. We signed a

Gallinari Bucks signed he was silent two years three years ago. He was SILD two three years ago. We did a wing and that's all we could get. The Bucks the Bucks have. This is very rare of the Bucks. They have put all their baskets in one egg and we don't I mean all their eggs in one basket. We usually don't do that. We use it. Believe in the future. Guys, we got this. Nah, they moving and unfortunately they moving so much. We ain't got no trade assets.

And we have three coaches on the payroll, and we have three coaches on the payroll, and I think that I don't want to say he did it. Come on, man, you gott it. Listen, man, we can't even though he's our guy, we can't give him a pass. How if you don't think the players, he just said, I don't want uh what's his name? Nurse? He just said, I don't want him. I don't care what y'all do. I just don't want him. If you don't think the superstar has something to do with a coach, he just said

I don't want him. Do you think then Nick Nurse would have made a difference, would have made a difference. I do better than Adrian Griffin. Here's the thing. Here's the thing I'm gonna ask they should hire agent Griffin. I will give you that. I'm gonna answer your question. Doc Rivers has a Milwaukee Bucks team right now, who has the second toughest schedule in the NBA in the second half of the season. Yes, Doc got a team that was had some locker room issues. Doc has a team that he

has to now coach from the ground up. So I don't know what people are expecting. Are you Are you surprised by the three and seven start? I am a little surprised by the three and seven start, but not because of coaching, but because of players. Like I said, Dame, we all celebrating this two times three three p who cares. Somebody was like, yeah, man, go Bucks. I was like, I don't care about that. You better bring the playoffs right, bring into the game consistency night

after night. I mean, he's been hurt in and out of the lineup, and I forgot about Chris Middleton has been the lineup the last couple of games. Either, Oh Middleton, they might shut him down as quiet as his cat. So I just feel like, but let's talk about Let's talk about the signing though, because we needed to a wing. Now we gotta win. How y'all feel about the pick up? I don't think it helps us, or you think our users like whatever, I don't think it helps

us, whatever, use like whatever, whatever. I wasn't impressed at all by it. I was like, whatever, I'm not impressed by at all. I mean, if he comes in and he shoots a decent percentage, if he does with Google to the Bucks, but if he come in and stick it up like we've already been doing it, then it is what it is at the same time. We are in third place, but we are shooting horrible, horrible. We are shooting horrible. Defense and we're still in

third and we're shooting horrible. I would, but here's the thing. We're at some point, at some point, far away from first. We're far away from first. We don't have to be first because every time we was first, Guess what happened, we got smoked. We want a championship. Guess what place he was? Second? Third, or well? This year third season ended. Today we've been playing Indiana and I see them beating us

for one, four two. I'll see that for to one. I mean, Indiana's decent, But when it come down to play all basketball, Gianna's goes to a different level, just like the rest of those superstars does, like lebron K, d Steph Kawhi. You know he got swept last year by Miami. He was hurt. Who was hurt? Play every game? He did not? He did? He did? He did not? Do you remember he had to come back because even though he was hurt, he won. He was hurt for one game he last season, yes, one

game, Remember he played the first game and he got hurt. He missed one game he didn't play the second game, so he missed one game. But we weren't in it at all. He's he was hurt. Remember he fell on his back. He did, I did. But he still put up crazy numbers. Let's not give that. The Bucks just were not ready to match up. Listen, he was scoring, but defensively he could not move to recover none. If you go back and look at it, defensive he could not guard hisself. All I know is this, once you step

on the court, all excuses go out the window. And if we're going to hold him up to the same standard, we don't know everybody. We understand standard. We know everybody else to do standards, nothing Lebron standard. I'm just talk about the stand that everybody else besides Lebron. You know you got a different standard for him. Real quick mention. I do have one

question for you guys before we wrap up. Would you have liked how would you have reacted if the Lakers pulled the trigger on Lebron to the Warriors? Can I get that I didn't see it only a docket. I didn't so that, so I don't know if you get there or not. Okay, what I was time is running but how would you have reacted if that would have got pulled? If? What are you here? Do you hear about

that? What? Well? First of all, I didn't put on the docause it's a fifteen to twenty minute conversation of him Brandon and raging about Lebron. I didn't want to hear it. Okay, I didn't want to hear it. I say part of it, but I didn't really understand. So the trade around the trade deadline. As soon as the hit, actually, Lebron was, oh, I'm sorry. The Golden State Warriors called the Los

Angeles Lakers like, hey, is Lebron available? They said no. But what they did was they said, hey, Lebron, Golden State is calling. Are you cool or you want to leave? He was like no, I'm staying. He was like, okay, they left it alone. That happened to two teams, the Golden State Warriors and oh my god, who else it was? It was? It wasn't the New York Knicks. Somebody called it. Somebody else called about Lebron. I think it was a no

Philly Maury. Maury called about Lebron. He was dead serious. He was like, they was like, no, he's not available, but they called the audacity for them to call about him, that's what they They wanted him on the team as the about no because Lebron wants to play with Steph Loki. And on top of that, they just want to see you seem like it's gonna happen. Number one. I see you, I see you grinning.

I see underneath you can't even hold a composure. You can't even hold a composer in your face because your grint is so hard it makes me sick. Because you two, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Ron. If Lebron James, no real quick. If Lebron James with to go to gather State warriors, I'm done. I'm done. I am done. I'm gonna here one time a good stephen a rant, and then I am done. And I can't do it. I can't do it to I can't knowledge, I can't do it. What y'all, I couldn't

do it? What do you think is gonna happen? If people with the Golden State are what a think about what they gonna have to give up hold on? Think about what they're gonna have to give up to get that they take Draymond. They're gonna take more than Clay Draymond, Clay and a couple of draft picks, a couple of draft picks. Don't don't close the door, because Lebron will opt out and he will go play. You think Lebron want to go play with kaminga Lebron hold on Lebron, that alone is seventy

points. Just them alone is seventy points. The wrestling, I gotta do much. And here's why that's okay for everyone that's saying, well with Kad did and Dre, you was just crazy. It's different. Lebron will be here twenty two next year. He is near the end of his career. He's averaging twenty five. It doesn't matter. It does matters. Play wherever he wants, stop it. He can play wherever he wants. Some talk about why couldn't se Why couldn't handle this? That's why you know I'm done.
