Big 3, Iverson, NBA, Cavs, Warriors, and More!

It's your boy day, Martinez, a k A. Speeds ay ka to spitting Statistician, and you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Of course, I want to give a big shout out to all our sports byline listeners around the country and to the American Forces Radio Network, to the servicemen and women getting a little taste of home from your boy with spitting Statistician helping you win your leagues and win that cash. We got a good show for you today.

I'm a man. Donnie Burns with me on the ones and two is keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. Yo. When it comes to the starting lineup that I've been giving you in Major League Baseball, I am killing it. I don't know why you guys aren't listening to me. I told you that there were ways to beat Chris Sale. Last night the guy gave you. He just pitched a complete game, shutout with ten strikeouts. I hopefully you know if you listen to me, you won that cash. Last night,

we got an update on the Tiger Wood situation. Remember you had that d u I over the weekend. My man Donnie Burns is in town with me, so we're gonna talk NBA Finals that kick off tomorrow game one with the Calves and the Warriors. We're gonna look at um some of the odds for the m v P of the series, and Donnie and I are going to figure out where the best value is to bet if you want to bet on the m v P of the series, some of the series prices, things like that.

And also, you know we've been covering the Big Three, okay, so we are not only covering it. We have rankings that we are going to debut today. We're gonna give you the top you know, guards and wing players if you want to see who's gonna be putting up that reduction in ice cubes. Big Three. Also, it's interesting we got a lot of reaction and yesterday's show to the idea of the participation trophies. Remember I played that clip about Bryce Harper addressing some little leaguers and kind of

the applause that happened in the background. So our poll question for you today. And remember, if you want to holler at me all hour, you can at eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. You could also check us out on Twitter, at f and T S Y radio. You could always ask me questions, follow me at spitting speeds. But we got this question up. Do you agree with the quote unquote participation trophy culture out there where everyone wins, the game ends and the

ties and everybody gets a trophy. You got time right now to vote. We're gonna be talking about that a little bit later on when we come back. I'm gonna give you that starting lineup who you need to win that cash and Major League Baseball Tonight. I've been hot, you know, so hot that I sweats them. Come all right back after the break, We're gonna do it here Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Come on back, Speaks of spin and statistician will hold

you down. A Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Lets ship boy Dane Martinez here with my man Donnie Burns on the ones in two is giving a little nice and smooth as funky as we come on back to close out a great May that we've had here on the Fantasy Freestyle, as we're starting to move past Memorial Day into truly the boys of Summer, and that means baseball. So let me get right into it. Given you my news and notes from around Major League Baseball. Here. Bryce

Harper had his suspension reduced to three games. Remember there was that brawl earlier on this week. We've been talking about it all week long. But he is in fact going to start serving that three game suspension today, so he's probably gonna be out of the lineup, so you know, make those changes accordingly. Also, Tampa Bay Ray starting pitcher Matt Andrews, he's gonna go to the d L. He had a mid three e r A for the first two months of the season. He was doing all right.

He's got a groin strain. They're saying that it's actually mild um so this could be one of those cases of roster manipulation. They think that because Tampa has a few off days coming up in the next ten days, they could put him on the shelf, can go with a four man rotation and allow Andreies to heal. We shall see about that. Marlon Slugger, Gian Carlos Stanton his day to day with a hamstring cramp. He's got a little bit of a hamstring issue. Listen, We've been talking

about this during the season. Those hamstring injuries, you need to rest, take the actual time that you need to make sure you're a percent. My case in point is Mr Yo ns Cespitas. He's been sidelined as soon as they try to bring him back a little too early. He then missed the following month. Also going to the d L. Vince Velasquez from the Philadelphia Phillies, He's got an elbow flex or strain. This is concerning to me

for two reasons. One, this is a guy who has already had Tommy John surgery, so an time there's some kind of strain or issue in that elbow again, it's a big concern. And you know there's another Philly who had this exact same injury and it ended his career. That was Cliff Lee. After he had this injury, he

never pitched again. So keep an eye out on Vince Velasquez also here at the Fantasy Freestyle, I want to tip our cap formally to Albert pool Holes, who hit his five hundred and ninety nine career home run yesterday. He sits at ninth place all time. Interesting part is he's done it. This is his seventeenth major League baseball season. The top seven on the all time list all played

twenty two years in Major League baseball. Okay, Bonds, Aaron ruth A, Rod May's GRIFFI, and even Tomy Jim Tommy Sammy Sosay's ninth on the eighth on the list six hundred and nine career home runs. You gotta think Albert pool Holes will pass him this season as well. If you're wondering who the next two active home run guys, it's Miguel Cabrera with four hundred fifty one and then Adrian Beltrey with four hundred and forty five. They will continue to go up the all time rankings as well.

Keep it a moving here though, as we give you my starting line ups. As you know here in the Fantasy Freestyle, we hold ourselves accountable speeds. Isn't just out there saying random stuff. On the following day, I hold myself accountable. You could check the tape if you download on iTunes or Google Play, audio, Boom, I, Heart Radio,

tuning radio, whatever the case may be. If you heard yesterday's show, I told you I did not like Chris Sale at that eleven thousand price going against his former team. I was in because the White Sox hit lefties. I told you there were ways to beat him. Uh. Sale through five innings, gave up five runs. He did strike out nine and did get the win because the Red

Sox ultimately won that game thirteen to seven. But I said that there were two guys that I liked that were two thousand dollars cheaper that I wanted to use to beat him. The first was Verlander against that piss poor Kansas City Royals offense. He got a quality start when seven innings, giving up only one run, striking out five, So that was better than Sale. But the other guy I gave you, and I've been telling you that he is my guy all season long. I have been high

on this guy, and it is Robbie Ray. Robbie Ray with a complete game shutout last night. He struck out ten against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He now has a streak of twenty four and two thirds scoreless innings. I call it. You know, we used to have that show Shot Callers. That was a shot called by your boys, Spees, the spitting statistician. I'm gonna tell you tonight who to go for as well tonight the chalk. The most expensive guy out there is Max Scherzer. And listen, Max Scherzer is

a great picture out there in San Francisco. That's a nice Um Pictures ballpark. But I am leary of this series because remember we had the brawl. Could there be some retribution? I don't know, so I'm staying away from that because of the bad blood. Who knows what's going on in that game. Two guys though, that I think are very viable tonight. So you want to get these guys in your lineups if you can. First, as obviously

Jacob deGrom. Jacob Degram at eleven thousand from two hundred, going against going against Um who they're playing tonight, going against the Brewers, I believe, yeah. And the Brewers are second most strikeouts in the National League. They have struck out four hundred and eighty four times already. Only the Padres have more. And Graham has been a strikeout machine. In his last three home starts, and his last three home starts against the Angels, the Giants, and the Nationals,

He's had thirty strikeouts in those three home starts. The Mets are also minus one seventy five tonight. They are your biggest home favorite on the board. I like me some to Graham, the other guy, I like we have the return of James Paxton tonight hundred being activated from the disabled list for the Seattle Mariners. This guy was nasty if you remember in the first month or two of the season, with a one point four three e r A. I like that right now. So my guy

would be Packston. If you want to, you know, not spend as much money, get a little bit of a value. Packs at eight hundred is my shot called four tonight. Um. I think it's very interesting though. We have that poll question up right. We have that poll question, do you agree with the participation trophy culture? Right now? It's very interesting. Only three percent of you are saying yes, you agree with kind of like everyone winning games and then ties

give the trophy to everybody. Seventy of you say no, and of you say only up to a certain age I can I can see that if maybe you know you're not a teenager yet with you know, you had a team of seven seven year old I can see how you want to, you know, kind of give everybody the trophy there. A little bit later on, though, I'm gonna ask my man Donnie Burns what he thinks that age line is, because some of you guys do think

up to a certain age. But it brings me to another story I wanted to talk to you guys about. I read something Advice this week that I thought it was interesting, and they're talking about, um, the New York

Yankees and how they're kind of fun again. And part of the reason they're saying that the Yankees are fun again is because they're now removed from was that what was that George Steinbrenner win at all costs kind of culture okay, or kind of mindset you know they were under George, they were these kind of championship or bust, and so the fans started to believe it too. Now you know, we're here in New York and Rock and

Riley's and Midtown Manhattan in Studio thirty four. So these New Yorkers over here probably no but the Yankees haven't won a World Series since two thousand and nine, you know, and that culture they used to win at multiple World Series every decade, you know, and they have been kind of non contenders for a long stretch, I would say, the longest stretch since I don't know, the mid eighties.

You know, when I was growing up and you had Ricky Henderson and you know, Wullie Randolph, Dave Winfield and those guys. But this run of like their core four and all those championships. You know, it was sustaining the fans for a while because you had the Mariano Rivera retirement ceremony, the Derek Jeter tour, you know all that stuff. But now you know what happened last year when they

weren't expected to do anything. Gary Sanchez came on the scene, and they made a little run in the second half, right, They didn't make the playoffs, but here's the thing, it was still considered a success. And now you know, you had this like glass glass half full kind of thing. And now fans that are seeing the development of guys like Sanchez and Severino and Bird and of course Aaron Judged this year, it makes it like you can still

celebrate that even if they fall short. Now they're kind of a head of schedule, right, But when you see that development and you see you know, kind of uh, the glass half full, I wonder if that, on a team level means people would answer this pole question a little bit different the idea of the participation trophies. Because last year's Yankees team did not make the playoffs, did not win at all, did not you know, achieve that

ultimate success, yet the fans were still happy. Is that like the parents of the little league team where the boy who doesn't finish in first place still gets the trophy? Are you're still happy? I wonder, you know, I understand that on an individual level, you want to earn and you want to win you know, first place or bus. But at the team level, as a fan, can you still be happy about your team's you know, production or

ultimate result every single year? Because I remember as a Yankee fan having that culture of World Series or bust, and I gotta tell you the truth, I'm enjoying this Yankees team even if they don't win the World Series. I am still happy about it. Does that mean I'm a fan who wants to participation trophy for the Yankees. I'm not sure, um, but I do think it's interesting when you look at it at the team level or

the individual level. When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, first of all, I'm gonna ask Donnie Burns, as a basketball coach, what he thinks that line is up to a certain age. And then we're gonna go into m v P prices for the NBA Finals. All that and a lot more coming up when we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and of course, big shout out to our Sports Byline affiliates around the country and with the American

Forces Radio Network around the world. Whether you're listening live or your download later on the Fantasy Sports Radio and app, We'll take it either way as long as you still get to hear Fantasy Freestyle. So come all right back here here some more. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Networks. Your boy, Dame Martinez Speeds are spitting statistician holding you down on a Wednesday evening here at a Rock and Riley's Studio thirty four,

Midtown Manhattan. Here's what I wanna do. We're gonna get into the cipher. I gotta give you some news and notes from around the NFL because you know, it's it's interesting. It's about time some people are starting to think about fantasy football, and you know O. T. A is going on. I told you we're gonna be bombarded by what I call greatest shape of his life stories. I told you last week that we're gonna get bombarded by those, and there are some more. For example, Jets tight end Austin

Safarian Jenkins. They're saying he's lost twenty pounds, okay, but they also revealed he also revealed that he has been clean since January, that he was in rehab, that he has graduated from rehab, and uh that alone with losing twenty pounds, they're saying he is impressing at O. T. A s he's gonna be battling with rookie at A Clemson Jordan Leggett for that tight end opportunity for the Jets.

And remember moving from an offense that they had on the Chan Gailly where they did not use the tight end at all, to this offense now bringing in the guy who was the Saints quarterbacks coach Morton as their offensive coordinator, they are going to utilize the tight end, so there may be opportunity here for a s j um. Also in O T S we're hearing Julius Thomas now with the Miami Dolphins. They're saying, quote unquote, he will

be a thing in the Dolphins scheme. Remember Thomas played under Adam Gays in Denver years back, and in twenty seven games with the Denver Broncos he had twenty four touchdowns. So it seems like Adam Gays no how to get the best out of Julius Thomas. Consider that when you're in that kind of soft tier of tight ends, a lot of people think that anywhere from tight end eight to fifteen are kind of the same value. Maybe Julius

Thomas is in that tier as well. Another greatest Shape of his life story for your Bears running back Jordan Howard. They say he is noticeably slimmer this year, a k a greatest shape of his life. Howard himself said that he is losing weight because he wants to try to stay on the field and be a three down running back. He says, quote, I feel like some people think I was a one year wonder. He wants to get down and play a two five pounds. Last year he was

at two thirty. I gotta tell you something. They're gonna need production at a Jordan Howard this year on the Bears. Look at this wide receiver death chart for the Bears. I'm talking Cameron Meredith, Kevin White, Marcus Wheaton, Kendall Wright, and Victor Cruz are the five options right now for the Bears. So yeah, Jordan Howard, you are going to see some production one new out of ot As that I think it's actually important. This is not the greatest

shape of his life kind of story. Corey Coleman, the wide receiver for the Browns, was injured at O t As while diving for a catch Hugh Jackson. The coach says he will be out a little while and they are not sure if he's gonna be in team activities next month. Remember Corey Coleman also had a freak accident um injury last year where he broke his hand um,

so maybe he is the dreaded injury prone tag. Remember your boy Speeds will be holding you down all summer long, giving you what you need as you start to enter into fantasy football drafts. But we got the NBA Finals going on, so it's time for me to bring in my man, the love doctor and the basketball correspondent of Fantasy Freestyle. It is my man, Donnie Burns on the ones and two is keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. We've been talking about the Finals, which will

kick off maybe tip off is a better word. Tomorrow nine p m. Eastern will be Game one. We broke down some of the matchups. I want to horn in a little little bit on the guys down low, Tristan Thompson, and in my opinion, will be Javelle McGhee because more bad blood and more heat added to the fire we have.

Quote uh. Dave McManaman from ESPN reported that an anonymous Cavs player said about Javelle McGhee quote unquote, he will not be able to stay on the court this series because he's not smart enough to play in this series. I think yo shots fired, continuing this war of words. These two teams do not like each other. I'm very excited. But here's my question for you, Donnie Burns, where do you think Miguel Javelle McGee will be in this series? Do you think his role will be to kind of

bang inside with Tristan Thompson. Will he be the guy that has to maybe go out to the perimeter and guard a guy like Kevin Love. Where do you see because you know, if Draymond is on Lebron, who's gonna be out there on Kevin Love? Might it be Javelle McGhee. What do you see for Javelle McGhee's role in this series? I think he's gonna like an important role because I

don't see Zaza Petulia doing it. And remember when the Warriors were up three one on the Calves last year, a man by the name of Andrew Bogett had a big role. What do you think McGhee does in this series? Will he continue to just be shocked in a fool Yeah? Well, like he's just mentioned, I don't believe that he's smart enough to play with Tristan Thompson. Here's the thing with Tristan, So you agree with this anonymous Cavalier player, I do.

And here's the thing with Tristin Thompson. Like I mentioned the other day, he's such a demoralizing player in terms of those offensive rebounds. If you give the best player in the world a second chance at the bucket. I mean, that's that's why I have Calves in six. I think Tristin Thompson, like I said that you have Calves in six, exactly Calves in six. Okay, we're gonna want I can write that down. If we're gonna have to write it down,

I think we're gonna be. I was gonna make my official pick tomorrow on tomorrow's show, but let's mark it down. The Love Doctor is going Calves in six for that one. Okay, continue.

And here's the thing. If Tristan Thompson, I was just talking to Greg and Frank in the control them if he can get anywhere from twelve to fifteen rebounds and you know, more than half of those being offensive boards, Like I said, he's giving you know, two of the top five players in the NBA second chances and second looks. They have Kyle Korver now, which it's even a bigger weapon. So I really like the Calves. I know I'm not with the majority on this one, but I really like

the Calves in six. I am mad at you, Bro. I like you going out on a little bit of a limb and for the series right now. If you like the Calves you can get him at plus two ten, all right, Donnie, So if you throw a hundred bucks on him, you're gonna get two hundred ten back, all right. So I think you know that maybe where you want to go. Here's my question for you, though, Donnie. And you know you may not think this, but, um, which of these teams is gonna slow it down the pace

of this series? I think it's gonna be But the Calves. Listen, the Calves have actually the highest like pr ever, but they know that they have to make this a one on one game. They cannot keep up with the ace that the Warriors can play at. And that's why I think they will be the first team to slow the page.

They're gonna be the first one to cry uncle and the half court, yeah, because once they start running the court and they're not gonna be able to cover all four of those guys one through four can shoot the three ball, They're not gonna want to run that running gun with the Warriors. That's why I feel they will be the first team to slow everything down. All right, I hear you. Okay, So I said, you know, Calves are at plus two ten right now, whereas a minus

two forty. You heard that Donny Barnes is going Calves in six. I'll give you my official prediction before Game one tomorrow night, but I do want to take a quick look at the m v P odds, okay, because I think there's some potential value there, especially Donnie if you think the Calves are gonna win the series. So check this out. Lebron and k d are your co favorites at plus two twenty steph plus two fifty Draymond

at plus six hundred. Then are the two guys that I think are very interesting, Kairie Irving plus a thousand. So if you paid a hundred bucks on Kyrie to be the m v P and your Calves do win and for some reason they don't give it to Lebron James, Kyrie Irving would get you ten to one odds. And then you know the other guy at plus sixteen hundred that I think is interesting is my guy who I've been waiting to heat up all playoffs long Clay Thompson

at plus sixteen hundred. You could get Kevin Love at plus twenty five hundred in Gudala at plus six thousand in the field, meaning anyone else I did not name at plus eighteen hundred with those odds, Yo, Donnie, if you like the Calves to win this series Kyrie at plus a thousand, n plus hundred, where do you think the value is on these odds? I would probably have to go with Kyrie. You know, we kind of talked about this little guard matchup we have with Stephen Kyra

not necessarily you know what us talking. Yeah, they're gonna defend each other. However, if Steph does end up guy guarding Kyrie, the thing that we were struggled with most was when either Tristan Thompson or Lebron would said the screen Stephen wasn't tall enough to get through that and get a hand up. And you know, Kyrie is one of the best point guards at attacking the rim. So that if I were taking odds on Finals MVP, I

do have Calves in six, I'd probably take Kyrie. Yeah, you're not gonna make any money with Lebron, right, and maybe similar to how we've been saying, Lebron is the m v P every every year, you know, and they go elsewhere. Maybe Kyrie. That's interesting plus one thousand, ten to one odds, very very interesting. Before we go to break. I want to just comment real quick on this Tiger Wood situation because, um, the story changed a little bit. Tiger put out something saying that he was not actually

there was no alcohol involved. It was actually a reaction of multiple pain killers, and he fell asleep at the wheel. He then passed the breathalyzer test. So, first of all, if you listen to Fantasy Freestyle, you know we have been talking about these pain killers, the chemical you know, pain relief and all the implications of it. But uh, what I also think is interesting. So here's tiger statement. I understand the severity of what I did and take

full responsibility for my actions. I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribe medications. I didn't realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly. I would like to apologize to my family, my friends, the fans. And it goes on for there. So he's talking about this prescribed um, the pain killers, the prescribe medication. We've been talking about that on Fantasy Freestyle for a long time

and all the dangers of it. Again, shout out to the Kyle Turley series. That we talked about, and listen, this is just another kind of data point, another proof point around why these opiates and these chemicals, these pain pills are not the move. What I also think was interesting is Jack Nicholas came out and said that he feels bad for Tiger, said that Tiger is a friend of his, that he's been great to the game of golf, and that he needs our help, that he wishes him well.

Remember I've been telling you what you know, the kind of child star of it all, and these these UH athletes that have been put on a pedestal for so long, when they don't have that anymore, sometimes the spiral begins. And remember the same thing we said with these retired players who don't have the glory anymore, but still have the pain medic cation in their medicine cabinet. I don't think Tiger Woods is far from this, but then again,

that's just one man's humble opinion. However, it is your boy, Dame Martinez Speeds the spitting statistician giving it to you. I don't know, but I wonder if that changes perceptions at all, You know, does a change perception that he wasn't drunk driving you know, like, I wonder if that matters to any of the people out there that are, you know, judging him after that, if you want to get at me, let me know at Spitting Speeds on Twitter eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine.

Does that news change it at all for you? I'd love to engage with you on that. When we come back, though, Donnie Burns and I we unveil the first part of our Big three Fantasy rankings. I'm real excited to do that. It should boy. Dame Martinez Speeds, the Spitting Statistician here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We'll be right back.

Okay, but check it out. Here's what's gonna do right now as we put the fun in functional sports radio. Like I said, Donnie Burns and I have probably been the only people out there

that are really covering this Big three league. I think they're doing a lot of things right ice Cube's brain child. Remember they had to combine, they had the draft. They have eight teams, okay, and there's gonna be four games, you know, every Sunday starting on June at the Barclay's Okay, And it's an incredible idea. It's something like a barn storming tour. And I think it's awesome, especially this year in the NBA when people were, you know, a little

disenfranchise fans saying, hey, I pay my ticket. I don't know if Steph Carry is gonna play. I don't know if Lebron James is gonna play. With all that rest, you know, you're gonna get all of these ross is there when all of these uh, you know, former greats and veterans and a lot of retired NBA playoffs. So we thought about it here on the Fantasy Sports Radio network, we talk fantasy. We had to make fantasy rankings. So we're gonna get into that a little bit. But first

let's get into this promo. Big Three doing big things over here. Donnie Burns. Let's play that clip and get people excited about what they're gonna see on the Big Three. You know, we're dedicated to competition and they're going hard and they're passionate. No participation. The mindset that we believe in, and that's just playing hard, like leaving or out on

the floor. You know, we all grew up playing three on three basketball, and so that's what makes this Big Three so special is an opportunity to play a sport that we've all played from childhood, but we've never been able to play a professionally. When you play half for basketball, you gotta be more creative and it ain't as easy as what people think. In three on three, you cannot hide. I don't know everybody in the combine, and we're looking

for guys that want to play hard. I guarantee you one the first guy gets scored on, it's gonna turn into some outside park basketball. Got the first pick, so I'm excited about that. Sean McCants, how does it feel being the first pick in the Big Three Draft? In the first pick, man, we had our first combine and draft. It was everything I dreamed it would be to be able to play against your former comrade A and teammates is gonna be priced to fine. You know, everybody's out

to be gonna win, and it's gonna be competitive. So we're going out to win this thing. There ain't no friendships in this Oh her, there it is, yo. I'm telling you, these guys are gonna ball out. I don't think there's gonna be any participation trophies in the Big Three. They're all talking a big game. But like they said, the first time someone gets scored on, I think it's gonna get very real, very quickly. So what we did, um Donnie Burns and your boys speeds the spitting statistician.

The interesting thing here, Unlike you know NBA, where you got guards, you got forwards, and you've got your centers. Here, we only made two kind position categories, okay, because you're gonna have on a three on three, you're gonna have your bigs down low, and then you're gonna kind of have like your guards or your wing players. Okay, So

we put the guards and wings together. We're gonna vail our top I think it's our top seven that we're gonna unveil today and then tomorrow we're gonna do our our top tier of biggs and kind of rank them as well going into this. Okay, so far part of this as we have to think about listen, this three on three league, the scoring is probably gonna come from

these guards. Okay, your guards are probably gonna be the guys you want to invest early round fantasy draft picks on, because I don't think, you know, I don't think these bigs, you know, your guys like Kenyan Martin, your guys like Jerome Williams, They're not gonna be producing this bleak is gonna be predicated on you know, ballers and crossovers and four point shots for goodness sake. So I mean, I

think your guards are gonna be very heavy. The way we did is and Donnie, maybe what we need to do is also maybe tweet out the rankings when we're done, okay, and put them out there in a spreadsheet or something like that so people can see how we ranked them. But we put them in tears. Okay. And you know you heard in that little promo cut that Rashad McCanns was the number one overall pick in the Big Three inaugural draft. We have him as the eighth highest rank

guard play. Okay, because a lot of these guys that we like, we're co captains and stuff. We're already signed to the teams before the Big Three draft took place. We do like Rashad McCann's kind of in that second tier. Uh, we like him alongside guys like Larry Hughes on the Killer Threes, Bombs E Wells on Tri State, Ricky Davis on the Gulf ghost Ballers. We think that's the kind of middle level, shall we say, of the Big Three. Um, So when we're doing to do though, is we're gonna

get into the top tier. Here are seven highest rated and highest ranked guards, okay, or wing players. Some of these are wing players. And the first thing I noticed on is that listen, the Killer Threes have two of our top seven guards. The Three Headed Monsters have two of our top seven guards. And so there's no reason why if we looked then later on in our power rankings, both of those teams are gonna be pretty high up in our you know, power rankings and predictions for this.

But starting at number seven, we have, uh, probably the lead guard of the ghost Ballers, and that's Mike Bibby. So, Donnie, how do you think Mike Bibby's game translates to this kind of three on three format. Now, I usually I would probably pick a player like Mike Bibby, but I've actually, you know, we have Instagram and Twitter and all that now, so we have been able to see some of these

players playing now. And Mike Baby looks a little bit unathletic, he doesn't look like himself above him look a lot better. And these social media accounts and whatnot, So that's why we have them so low. Donnie Burns throwing shade at the captain of the ghost Ballers um Mike Bibby in the number six spot in our rankings, we have Steven Jackson representing the Killer threes um as a Now, this guy, this guy can shoot it. We know that. Do you think he's gonna be taking advantage of the four point

shot much at all? I think he will be. He will also probably be taking advantage of people down low, because he was, if you remember, a very tough player, and throughout his career, I think he averaged about fifteen points. So he can score. He's not he can't get his shot as easily as he probably wants to nowadays. But I mean, he can still score, man, but remember on this team, he's gonna have a guy like Chauncey Billups

creating for him. So maybe you know, you see a lot of Tauncey drive into the whole kicking out to Stephen Jackson. But you also are correct, Steven Jackson's the guy who can back you down as well. Kind of more of those wing guys in this three on three four man, I think it's gonna be interesting. Number five. At our guards or wing players, we have the captain, the co captain of the power, Patino Mobley, former Houston Rocket,

you know, kind of your your standard point guard. He's gonna be able to manage this team run the floor pretty well, although it is a half court setting. What do you think about Coatino Mobley in our five spots. So yeah, just so people know how we did these rankings, we did it. You know a lot of us. We looked at pedigree, you know, stat trackers, what we see now. And also you mentioned this, You mentioned this, some of

these guys are one year out of the league. Some of these guys are ten years out of the league. Remember also in our kind of second tier, we had another guy in the three headed Monsters Guy mak Mud Abdul ra Wolf. We all love him, but he's been out of the game for a while, so he fell into that second tier of guards. But you think Coatino Mobley has a shot to do work for the power and now here these two guards the four in the

five spot, Chard Lewis and Cotino Moble. When we first started talking about the Big Three, Richard Lewis was one of my favorites to be one of the better players in this league. Um here's my thing with these two guards. They remind me of like a Jamal Crawford now where they will get any shot they want in this league. Uh, they both for their career, I think they will. That's the kind of player they were. Players they were and uh, they're probably gonna be the most exciting to watch in

my opinion, other than uh white Chocolate. I've seen, you know, a lot of clips of him social media and he's been killing it. I'm so excited that. Interestingly enough, we have not yet named him in our guard rankings and we are down to our final three. In the three spot, we have someone who is a pure ambassador for this league, the captain of Three's Company. It is the answer, Ai Alan Iverson, do we really even need to say anything? Is it surprising that he's only third on our list? Uh?

To some it would be twenty six points per game for a career would kind of render a number. But he's been for a while. But that's what we gave Chauncey Billups. Like I said, we combined pedigree, you know, stats, and Chauncey Billups, you know, exemplified what a point guard really was. And he's not that old, no doubt so. But in our two spot you mentioned him already White Chocolate Jason Williams. Let me ask you this, though we have Jason Williams in our two spot and we have

Richard Louis in our four spots. These are both guards on the same team. The three headed monsters look diesel. But here's the thing. Do you think they will um kind of cut into each other's production and steals? Like? Do you think it's kind of like a backfield by committee kind of thing. Do you think they can both

get off? Here's the thing. If you've seen White Chocolate recently, he can still pass man and all with Shard Lewis needs is a little space and he will score you just kind of look at their bigs or they're big. I should say the one big basically is a former first overall draft pick Qualm A. Brown. And you like I do, like Kuam. Let it be known, I like Kualm.

I think Kualm is gonna take this seriously and really look for this to be an opportunity for them, for you know, folks, to kind of change the narrative around Qualm A. Brown. But that gets to our number one overall radied guard in this league, representing the Killer Threes. It's Chauncey Billups. Let me tell you something one more thing about the Big Three, because I know we gotta go to break real quick. Remember we talked about um how ice Cube had a cha lenge for LaVar Ball. Well,

LaVar Ball has answered the challenge. Can we play that real quick? Donny Bee, dude, what up boy? West Coast Baby Triple B. We're gonna check that challenge, man. But if I make this shot before you make it, he wrote about my whole trouble ball team, which is fourteen people, the two. Now, I's gonna take a shot. Tell me what you here here? Tell me what you're here here? Does it sound like this went in. That does not sound like it went in. That's at sound like it

went in. That sounded like a brick to me, what do you think, Donny be that that sounded background pretended he made it. But he pretended he made Remember we've seen now that we have video evidence of LaVar Ball, we also have video evidence of what was it LaMelo or Loanngelo Ball. I'm telling you, and we're gonna talk about this a little bit tomorrow. I kind of think that LaVar should have taken any deal he could have got from you know, under Armor, didas Nike. That would

have been good man. And there's there's reports out there that of the numbers that you know, these Big three companies were actually offering the Ball family. We're gonna talk about that a little bit tomorrow. I think. I'm telling you, I think LaVar continues to do a disservice to his children. But Yo, the publicity machine continues, and big shout out again to ice Cube in the Big Three for latching onto what. They know. We'll get them buzz, they know

we'll get them clicks. We continue to talk about the Big Three here, we're gonna be covering it all summer long. But when we come back, we're gonna tie a nice neat little bow. On this episode of The Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna check in on the poll. We're gonna check in on the scores around Major League Baseball as well.

They are up three nothing on the strength of home runs by Kean Broxton and Eric Dames. With his four home run of the season. You know, he kind of slowed down a little bit after that incredible April. Remember he had that comment that

he had a lot of blood and urine. Uh hasn't hit many home runouds ever since that test thing, and ever since that comment about all the blood and urine has we shall see. Also, remember I had a poll question up there on that at F and T s Y radio Twitter handle and also the at Spitting Speeds.
