After watching a friend grow through a loss a few weeks ago, I saw how quickly grieved turn into financial stress. No one deserves that feeling I saw him feel ever, and I mean no one. No matter what I offered to help, it wasn't enough. And I promised my family I would never make them feel the same way my buddy felt.

Hey Joe, Hey Joe, Hey, I've.

Been in the lab. Joke what you've been doing shit.

Hey, don't worry about it. Just get to get that knee together back.

Oh oh oh oh.

Get that knee together.

Whack, okay, okay, yeah, Hey, I booked my ticket too. I'm letting you know ahead of time. I booked my ticket for Mars sixteenth. I'm being on the fifteen so we can go to the Hawk game.

Uh what's that? That's the Magic City Night. Yeah, you're trying to do something by tusione.

Uh huh.

I thought you I thought you said. I thought you said we can go.

I'm gonna make I'm gonna make it happen. Say glass, I'm gonna make it happen.

Okay, I'm gonna let I book my ticket so you know, I don't I frequent Atlanta maybe once once a year, so this is this be my one time.

Boy, You're finna have a good time. What you're gonna do? You man? You know old need old.

You know, I'm if if the water don't rise and you know, don't get too high. You've been have surgery.

So I will saw what or through today. I got another part.

We'll get two opinions and see, you know, he said, you know, probably the best thing for it to go in there and get it taking care of get it scope, get it sniffed a little bit. Uh, fifteen to twenty minute procedure, and most see what the other guy says. And so we're gonna take the best of the two scenarios. The one thing I do know, we're not gonna leave it as is. It's painful and not take pain medical

Yeah, and now I'm gonna ask you a fifteen to twenty minute procedure.

What's the rehab time?

Like he said, I'll be I'll be sore for about about a week, oh, Joe, because anytime they go into the body. Oh that's so you're gonna be sore. But it's probably four to five weeks.

Okay, that ain't bad, man.

You know I go to rehab, he said, it's a it's an in and our procedure. So you go in that morning, you'll be out that day, and then I do I'll start rehab the next day.

Yeah, that's because yeah, you know what I need to stop playing around and do un like all jokes aside Joe that I need to get this damn cataract remove out my right eye because I can't see at all.

It's even I couldn't see to begin with.

Now cataracts build up so much my right eye, my whole right side.

Great.

So, hey, I got a question. In the hell you think you're gonna beat me in anything with one eye?

Joe?

I played my whole career with one eye I had. I only had one, I said in nineteen ninety four.

Okay, I like that you look one thing about me. I'm gonna use everything in my advantage. You know you're gonna go to my right. If my opponent got a weakness, you best believe I'm going at it.

But Joe, that's not a weakness. I played my whole caribb one eye.

You ain't You ain't gonna be. You ain't gonna be to keep up with that with no one eye. Joe, you're too slow, Joe? Who you six' eight?

All right?

All? Oh, Joe, Joe.

I mean no disrespect, but it's gonna be real funny when they say, God damn by that nigga Ojo gave a Hall of Famer. That work.

Okay, all right, okay, all right.

The Thunder go on the road and Battison Square Garden and take down the Knicks by the score of one oh three to one hundred. Chet Holgren had twenty eight points, eight rebounds, the eight Hongrin had a tide of career high with sixty three pointers. Shay gil Just had twenty six points as he continued to streak of at least twenty points. I think it's one hundred and twenty two now. I think he's a couple of games behind Wilt Chamberlain's record, which I think is one hundred and twenty four one

Was not enough.

Og had sixteen, Karl Lathon had seventeen, Josh had ten, McHale Bridges had fifteen, Jalen Brunson had sixteen, and Landry Sherman had fourteen.

But they shot terrible from the three.

Point line, ten of thirty five and that was really the difference in the ball game.

Shae Hill a step back three.

He only shot won three tonight, Joe, and they put Oj on him and he drove to the basket and he snatched the pull. Let that three go, And that was really the difference in.

The ball game.

Watching this game, Joe, you look and you can see the Thunder starting to feel like themselves. They're starting It looks like they're starting the game from confidence back because they feel our best be best player in the NBA is on our roster. Now we're fully they don't have j Dove quite yet, but you can tell they're starting to feel themselves again heading into the playoffs. Oh yeah, and they're not fully healthy, but they're still they're still grinding our wins night in and night out.

Fellas.

They just beat Chicago last night without Shay Shaye played tonight. The one thing that's glaring for me about ok see Uncle Ojo, they guard bro, they play defense. If you look at if you look at the Knicks, the shooting percentages was horrible. Brunton was five for eighteen, og was six for seventeen. McHale Bridges was six for seventeen. These dudes sit down in their chair. They moved him feet and they guard and they defense is what fuels are.

Offense.

Now, they do have a guy and Shay who can get to the bucket, get to the spots.

Or whenever he won't in the game. He just makes the games look easy.

But I've said this from last season even throughout the playoffs, the better check home greed is, the better this OKC team will be. Which can which can lead them to be a dynasty mean and winning multiple championships.

They look good, man, They're in.

A great spot obviously, you know, coming down to the wilde. With the season they get healthy, they still gonna be a scary team to deal with the seven game series, fellas, Hey.

Uncle Joe.

Normally, right, when you think about basketball in general, you have every team has his identity, sometimes defense, sometimes offense. Most of the time you really don't have a team where on both sides and transition you're good on offense and defense. How to hell they able to sit in the chair and play defense the way they do and still have the offensive offensive prior to score at will like they do as well.

If you look at the go ahead, Joe, go aheall they hey, they they in great shape, Ocho. Both sides of the ball. You gotta be in shape. Obviously. Yes, they wanted the youngest teams still in the league. So uh they cause the multitude of problems. And they one of the only teams, like I've been saying, who pick up full court and wear you down in the fourth quarter to where they can still you know, be fresh.

Yeah.

I think the thing is Ojo plus the factor you look at it. The guys that are really sitting in the chair, those are not your guys that you're counting on to give you twenty thirty a night shade shake and play defense. But that's what you got Lou Darts for. That's what you got for. That's what you got Kate Wallace for. That's what you got those other guys for. That's what you got a seven foot guy in the back drop check Hogen to check anything that gets past

But when you get Jay.

Dub back, you got another guy that can sit in the chair they go, they can at every point in time in the game, they're gonna have three of their five guys that can sit in the chair.

That's at the bare minimum.

Now you mess around to go out there with Caruso and you have door out there, and you have wallets out there, and you have Joe out there. Yeah, now you got forty to five Jay dub with an all defense, with an all the defensive player, he can play defense. They're loaded, and they say, you know what, we get some really easy shots. We get some easy runouts when we turn you over. So they bought in. No, everybody understands.

Now they might be a outfit, they might.

Be shucking and jiving, but that showed the closeness and the camaraderie that they have.

Everybody doesn't have that.

Yeah, this is a team that's to be wrecking with as long as everybody understands their role. This is who I am. A check, I mean check got a max deal. J Dove got a Max deal. Shaye got a Max deal. Now we ain't got no more max deals that can come around. Joe, Hey, we ain't got no more mac deals that can come around. Everybody understand now, you're gonna be in a situation where you can win a lot of games and win championships, but somebody, at some point

Played rogue, that played cards.

We were constantly going to somebody's house, be at Baltimore raised house and and if Buffy his mom was cooking, or we was at in Denver. We was doing things, going to the movies bowling. This team is close. You can tell they're close, Yeah, yeah, you can. And that's I think that helps them too on the court. Okay o, Joe, you know that that closes that they had together, you know, spending and spend a lot of time with each other

They all stay.

I think even I think even a couple of them may even take a pay cut just to stick around. Because just think about it, if they make it to the finals this year, if they even win another title, I mean now that they can definitely be amongst history, so I can I can see this team kind of sticking around for quite something. I think it makes it easier for him to leave now, Joe, because I got two rings and somebody's gonna give me five years at seventy million.

You see, at what point in time, Joe, how many rings do I need?

You know, I'm twenty six years of age and somebody's about to get drop me, you know, uh, seventy let's just say seventy million. For five years. Somebody's about to give me one hundred million for five years, and I got two rings.

Well I'm good.

Now it's about it's about the securing my family, to make sure everybody's great for the next thirty five forty years. So we'll see how plays out. I mean, everybody says, oh, I want to be here, I want to be here, I want to be here, and then somebody like, damn boy, that's a lot of money.

Joe. Yeah, they were like, yeah, you know what I think.

I think I somebody want to stay in Phoenix and let him say, Joe, we got this, we got this little package for you over here.

Come up.

I like I.

Got I got to.

Joe saying, hey, Joe, hold on, what's that uh uh uh valley? Paradise Valley?

Is that?

Uh uh?

Scott after this s guy's got Paradise Vallet.

Right, they got nice the same scenery. I spent a lot of you know what I'm talking about, Joe, nice scenery.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, this nice? Oh Joe, it's nice. You gotta tell me Scott's Dale and all that.

Yeah.

Yeah, man, Well I had a time when I was out there, you know, and mean, but Hey, that's a long wave broy right right clothing for me? Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying for me. You know, I'm really I'm really on the West Coast. I'm just just think about it obviously. Remember we went to the Super Bowl Arizona. That god damn flight, man, Jesus Christ from Miami, where everything is part of you're coming back coming this way from Miami.

It's just like everything is part coming this way.

If you're on the West Coast going east where it's New York Jersey. In Miami, it's but it's hell. Now it's easy for me to go there because I got to win at my back.

Yeah.

Oh, long flight.

Man, I'd have got up and I took me a little quick nap, go to the bathroom. Four hours, four hours. Hell, I felt like I was sleep for three.

But that's the part about going overseas. Oh show.

I remember we went to Australia. Man, I don't watch four movies. That took me a nap. We still got twelve hours.

Yeah, wait, how long the flight to Australia.

Eighteen hours? That's about how that flight was. We went to China. Yeah, it's a long time been on a plane. What lord JJ Reddick down played his sideline argument with

O one win over the Warriors.

Uh, we got the video. Check a look at this, Joe.

And no, Joe, what that that day? That's so reminiscent.

After being some out of the game, Luca avoided Reddick on the sideline, causing the coach to walk after him, and guard exchanged words with him on the bench. After Reddick walked away, Luca jumped up and potentially to continue to argument, but Jerry Vanderbilt quickly hopped up started clapping in front of Luca to de escalate the situation.

Joe, how normal is this? Is this very normal? Is this somewhat like? What? What's really going on? Nah?

This it's pretty normal. I think he probably what he must have messed up when coach took him out.

He ain't want to come out. Luca tried to get that.

Look, let me tell y'all something, that's normal, bro, When you in the game and you mess up and you can't get a chance to get back and he take you out. Yeah, you walk over that little attitude. You see, he ain't want to shake his hair, you know what I mean, That's pretty normal. Okay, Oh Joe, you know you like you come back, You're like, man, damn, you know.

What I mean?

He uncle Joe.

I remember I had the same incident. Obviously, this is basketball. Obviously that's that's a meaningful game that they playing. But every time in the preseason, Joe, Joe, in the preseason, come you know the ones they said before the game start all right, the ones y'all get one series and then we're all coming out. Man, who you think don't want to come out the game? You all everybody went off the sideline. I'm the only one still on the field waiting on the twos to come in.

Hey, hey, even even if even if you don't call the past or not.

The quarter past not And most of the time I ain't catch now because they just you know, it's they just doing vanilla stuff. Hey, Joe, I had Coach Lewis he done had to call a time out to get me out the game. If I refuse to come out, I'm coming to the sideline.

He walking towards me.

I'm going straight to the end.

Of the bench.

You know, we laugh about today.

Man, but I don't think he understood I needed to be in those preseason games. I just needed I needed to catch that rhythm. I need to catch that speed of the game, just to get my body acclimated to it. Because no matter how much you practice, game day speed is completely different, no matter how much you practice.

Man, but I think Luca wanted to get the cup.

Hey, we scored easy, Luca got gotta eat, got a twenty quick, twenty eight easy. Say you know what, I'm trying to win the scoring title, and so it's game just here, Joe, Hey, let me go on to get me a little thirty five. Let me go play an extra three minutes. Let me get me three more minutes, and then I'll come sit on the sideline. JJ probably thinking, Nah,

I with you go.

Hey Joe, Hey, dude, dude.

Coaches understand especially it might be different when it comes to basketball. If lucas in rhythm, if Luca is hot, maybe JJ's not thinking about him being able to get that scoring title and one to come out of the game. Don't they have some type of situation or understanding like let me stay in like maybe eye contact while he's in the game and say I'm good right now.

Just let me let me be man.

Them coaches being aware, they be aware of what's going on, O Joe. Don't let them fool you.

Now. Don't let them fool you and think that they don't know what's going on.

People on the sideline just telling them, hey Joe, got fued this, O Joe.

Got five files, got two files. So he good.

They got people to study, giving you that information. You know exactly what's going on. Yeah he a o Jo need ten more points, he had twenty thousand points.

Yeah something like that.

Like they they they know, bro, they know so yeah, they know he gonna They know he in for the scoring title for sure.

Hey but but Joe, if they know he in for the scoing title, why would you take him out? I mean the other I mean whose side they own?

I don't know what.

Look, the thing is the last thing that you want to have happened. You leave him in there. You already up thirty points Ojo and Joe, and you know what comes with it.

He must right to get hurt. They're gonna say why was he in the game, right? And then you're gonna say, hey, oh really, so.

Now you put your you put you let a guy put his selfish needs trying to in a scoring title over the bigger, the bigger, more important needs, which is the playoffs. So I see both sides of the equation. I've been on both sides of the equation. I remember, uhh, we've played, We've playing the Chiefs. Mike took everybody out. They came up there told Mike Shannon had six for ninety nine.

Eighty four.

I done took my help and Joe, I don't us strapped the shoulder pan because they already we already beaten. Came we already beating were home. I already undertook the eighty four. You back up. I was like, huh, you need a yard for one hundred. Okay, let me get on back in there looks better than ninety nine, right right right, So we're gonna run some simple weren't run. We're gonna run a boot down, flat wash the end down to the to the A gap and go to the flat wash the air down to the to the

You can't do no wrong.

You shooting off wrong foot, you dot matter what you throwing stuff up, there's going there and you getting a one. And everybody knows Luca can heat up. I mean, he don't need to see. But a few go into the basket and that's it. Yeah, he cheaching. First of all, his first shot gonna be all three. He gonna check it. He gonna get that step back, he gonna gonna pull. You ain't gonna shoot that step back. Don't let him see it. Go in a couple of them go in

Yeah?

Yeah, So the thing is with him, he knows you get these guys and then then you know, you give these guys a little leadway. It's not like you and there doing no stuff like the old school, like a Phiel or pat Riley that stuff like that. He even even unc said when he was in college, this coach let him got there.

Cochon Nolan Richard ain't having none of that. I don't give there. How many points do you got you set your head right over with me this game.

That was the only time though, that was the only time he ever done that, because I remember we played this my senior year, and uh, you know, obviously, you know we want to have a good season, you know, try to make the playoffs. But you know Skout's gonna Scouts gonna be there. Sterling Sharp's little brother, a two time All American Conference Player of the Year. We want to see what he put on man O Joe, I said, Man I was I'm talking about. I was in peak shape.

I show up. I'm two twenty eight. I'm talking about.

Hi, got in a fight with a sword and lost cuts everywhere. Yeah yeah, cut cut like a small bag of dope. That's what I'm looking like between us now. So I go out there in the first the first half, we halftime, I got like, I got five catches for above fifty and two touchdowns were up thirty seth. So I'm saying to myself, you come about to get me three hundred, I said, They throw me another They throw

You done for the day, I said, come on, coach, let me.

At that time, I had never had a two hundred yard game. No home done, man, he told me after the game. He pulled me aside after the game. He say, Son, you got the best chance of any player I ever coached to be great at the next level.

Son. If something happens to you, I'll never forgive myself. Hm. I thought about it.

I was like, all right, coach, But I showed that a bout five games later. I never had a two hunderd yard game.

Oh joe.

And then I came and strom things to get back to back to back.

There you had.

I went, I went fis, I did sam for two twenty one. I went not, I went nine for two oh two, and then I go ten for two o five. God damn, I sprinkling him like a Sam for a buck fifty four and three to that too. Yeah yeah, this is all in one season? Up?

Yeah?

Oh yeah, well we're eating one o nine games. I had thirty on the yards on't you a nine games?

Eighteen touchdowns damn well, you would have been over that page.

Hey Joe, Hey, Joe, I would locked on grass Upjoe.

You gotta realize thinking about it. Oh, Joe, you see me, I'm a receiver. I'm getting off the bus. I'm six to twenty five and I'm talking about yeah huh yeah, yeah,

I had a sheep back then. I had a shield.

Yeah, I had it, you know, Joe. Oh remember we used to have some great cutoffs.

Oh yeah, Hey, that's.

Look like I had tennis balls in my stomach, Like I swallowed bout five or six tennis balls, don't Joe.

So I got it. Hey, hey, I got off the bus first man that's.

Been out there in that son. So I'm good at Christy looking like charcoal. You know what I'm saying, finger prints on charcoal. That's how black I was on, Joe.

But I toe up. But man, I get it. I get what.

I get Luca's point of view. I also get JJ's point of view. I do because remember Joe, the previous game they played Phoenix any struggle shooting the ball, remember yeah, yeah, So he said, hey, this is my make right, this is my get right game, right, boun Yeah, So I'm not I'm not I'm not surprised by this. I'm not surprised that j JJ's response to this. I don't know if anybody's been around JJ. I've been around him a

Yeah. Yeah, go back and look at Christian Lady.

You look at Bobby Hurley, you look at the JJ, you, Grayson Allen, you look at those guys.

They got a little edge to him. So I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised that.

Luca responded in the way that he did, But I'm also not surprised that they ended up taking him out of the ball game. The anticipation of a Jason Tatum return is building in Boston. Their circumstantial evidence is piling up to suggest that it's going to happen any day now. If Tatum had to decide to set out to see them a season, it would have given himself about seventeen and a half months of layoff before the next season kicks off mad October, basically the same timeline as Kevin Durant.

Uh?

I think he's He's probably gonna give it a chance. Okay, Oh, Joe, I'm not sure that I would. I think considering the fact of where they're at in the standings, which is second in the Eastern Conference, I think they feel like they still have a window to where they can compete for a championship if they had him, because they could have used them the night against the Charlotte Charlotte Hornets. Y'all see yant, I saw man Charlotte shoe. Hey they got some shooters. You look at Hey, look at LaMelo

I can see him coming back this year. Yeah.

Well that's tough. Go ahead, what you're thinking, that's tough. It depends on how he feels. It depends on how you feel. They're playing so well too, being number two in the East, you know, coming out if anything, I would chill the rest of the season. I'll chill the rest of the season and maybe come back during the playoffs.

Yes, you practice, but.

Game know, game game play is completely different. I just I think it would throw things off.

You're gonna have to You're gonna have to deal with a little bit of russ o Joe. But if he's able to come back, like they gonna take him like well, like I said, this this wind of opportunity that they have to get a chance to come out to East steal. The only thing about him coming back during the playoffs is that the intensity is gonna be rapped up so high. Yeah, it's like, I don't know if he tested that Achilles

And we feel that if.

We get JT back, why can't we come out. Can we beat the Knicks? Absolutely? Can we beat Cleveland? Absolutely? Can we beat Toronto? Absolutely? So that's the way they're looking at it. It's like, you know what, but who knows what's gonna happen next year? Somebody can make a make a power move and swing and all of a sudden, Giannis might end up somewhere, and we're not in the same boat this time as we were last year at

Now, em crazy.

The surgery used to take three four hours to do hip surgeries. To do these same surgeries and seventy five minutes to an hour even breaking the bone, taking it out, putting it in there. Because mostly everything is everything is robotic now, ain't nobody ain't They ain't doing no scaffold. They said that, they said that miss steping, but that robot up.

Wait yeah, yeah.

No, I'm good. I'm good. I'm good.

I'm good. Hey that that that robot? Hey, hey man. They say they say in a few years, they say, in a few years, if you ain't no electrician or plumb or something, well your job is expendable.

Yeah mm hmmm, yeah yeah, damn well.

You know these robots gonna be out. You go back up my younger days. I did a little plumber. You know what I'm saying, a little plumber. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I told you now, I told you about laying your best pipe down in the rent houses.

I told you know, I saved something. You know what I'm saying, you, I saved something. I saved it.

You know, yeah, I already know.

But you want to put down a mean yeah.

Yeah, just let if I if I up and need of some repairs, I know who to call, you know, hello, you never.

Know, Hello Hello.

But uh it sure seems like, uh he's trying to he's gearing up to come back. And I think the thing is is that you want to be in a situation where he he gets probably say, fifteen games in before the playoffs start.

Yeah, so I.

Think that's kind of kind of kind of the situation that they're kind of gearing up for.

And if you you know, reading the.

Tea leaves and see what everything is going, that's kind of that's kind of how it's shaping up. I would be a little hesitant because knowing the last thing you wanted to do that again and knock on wood, play that don't happen. I just hope everything goes according to playing the Kevin Durant timeline will seem great to me because KD doesn't seem like he missed a beat. They

Then what you call him happen. The COVID happened.

Yeah, that time off and then he came back, so he didn't come back to what like November, So that happened.

And yeah, so it's gonna be we'll we'll see, yeah, because he tore that in June of twenty nineteen, and he didn't come back until like what September October because of the ended and so yeah, so he didn't come ouf to like November December because remember they came right.

Uh.

I don't see k I said.

Jason Tatum ran on this on this thing, okay, okay, Katie, Yeah, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, eighteen point four months. Yeah, John Wall took off almost almost two years. But I think John Waller, I think John Waller's mother had passed or something in between that also, but hold on, I think he re injured. He might did, yeah, he re I think he reinjured.

At home something.

You're right, damn, which is common. You somebody somebody else did that too. They ended up retearing it, which I think that's no fun.

Yeah, but you got to be careful, Yes, you got to be careful, especially if you fear anything.

I'm obviously he's doing what's necessary. They got the right doctors, the right resources, and you know, medical people people there.

Just man that pushing in and that that jerky urky movement, you know, playing basketball, and I don't know, boy, it got me nervous.

It's not even me. John T.

Murray took thirteen months, but it's normally if you you projected out, Rudy Go, Rudy Gay was less than nine months. But if you look at it, most of the time, it's about twelve, somewhere between twelve and fourteen months.

Yeah.

When when Halliburton come back, he took me off.

Yeah, he off this year. Yeah, because I don't think they're in the contention to do that. So he won't be back. He will not be back until. So he tore it in June of last year, so July, that'll be thirteen August, September. So at bare minimum, they don't play it till. So that's sixteen months. He's gonna be sixteen months at the bare minimum. Jean Watson tore his He he's done for a year. It's gonna be you know, remember, Oh, Joe,

Yeah, was it him? Who did it? Who reinjured? He is at home too? I think he did? Yes, Yes, yep, yep, yeah.

Man.

You gotta be careful, man, anything of sudden the scooter stops or something. You know, you got you got this, you're on that scooter. Who Rich, Paul, and Mack Kellerman disagree on how MJ would do in the modern era. Max says MJ would average forty point triple double today. Rich says, these kids today, they don't they're not bowing down to nobody. They're not just gonna sit around and let you shoot every shot. Joe, Who do you agree with on this one.

No, I agree with Max.

I think you know, the cream always rises to the top, like I do. Think MJ would probably average about forty in this era. Okay, oh Joe, Uh, he was so dyna dam He was fast, he was quick, he was explosive with an unstoppable turnaround mid range jump shot of you kidding it ain't but a couple of guys shoot the mini now, right?

You know what I mean?

If you ain't shooting a three or duncan something at the real ain't nobody forty points on minies. That means he's gonna have to get up eight to ten threes a game. And he said, I don't like to shoot the three because it takes away from my aggressiveness.

Now something's gonna have to change, joke. But he's a two way player.

He's gonna get at least eight to sixty twelve points off defense. Now, the way, the the way the boys shooting this, it's a it's a faster pace. He ain't necessarily probably gonna shoot a lot more threes. I mean, he'll probably take a couple more. But for the most part he was so relentless and getting to the basket. Who's gon, whos gonna be able to stay in.

Front of him?

Nobody, nobody, I'm in front of them. I agree with Max too. You have to think during Jordan's era, they played a little bit more defense, Joe, they was a little bit more aggressive.

Yeah, when you go.

To that goddamn hole, they gonna, they gonna, they're gonna meet you.

But but you guys are looking at it like Jordan or who he is and what he's become. Now imagine him being on a team and he's not Michael Jordan yet.

So now you.

Think they're gonna just say, okay, shoot twenty seven times a game, because when he averaged when he averaged that that thirty seven, he was shooting about twenty seven twenty eight times a game. And the way these kids the wired now, these kids don't really respect anything. It's either to say they respect Jordan now because Jordan's retired, but look at him on the on your team. It's hard, man.

To get.

Even if they didn't care Joe. Uncle Joe is still Jordan. He's still gonna get his.

Regardless regards of whether they respect him or not.

Jan I give you private I'll give you a prime example. You get a couple of guys like Kobe. Everyone conceding is the shot he's nine. He didn't, and what happened. They broke it up. Kyrie got fed up. He ain't conceding. What happened. They traded him, they broke it up. So you gotta look look at look at not like Jordan now with the Jordan brand, the jump man, the NASCAR and all that. You gotta look at him at today in a today's game player. These guys they don't respect much ojo yo.

And that that's the thing though, Uncle Joe, even if they don't respect it, we're talking about skill set. What he's able to do, right, he's able to do. Jordan is one of the few players. I mean, there are a few players that can play in any goddamn era and dominate, especially this era.

But I gotta give you the ball, oo. I just ain't gonna take the ball like you're headed than you and just turn it over to you.

Now.

I tried to get I mean listen, I mean, hypothetically speaking, we're talking about Jordan at his best. I'm assuming being in today's Yes, he putting up forty a games, o Joe.

But you gotta realize back then there were in a whole lot of player. These guys now are more skilled. They're more skilled guys now than they were then. Absolutely right, them guys couldn't shoot everybody on everybody on the team now to shoot the three, yeah, okay, you had Steve Curry, you had a job, and you had a Paxson and a Craig Hodges. That's three guys on the ball. Every once in a while. Jordan would get hot. But Jordan is about a thirty two point shooter these guys now,

That's what throwing me off.

If you say he gonna have, I give you that, But a forty point triple double that's gonna be That's the I'm not saying he couldn't average forty. Oh absolutely he could average four.

Oh oh yeah, okay, okay, okay, it's the forty point triple double hard.

Yeah, forty point triple double is tough because what Yoki is doing, it's so the add what he probably need another ten another double?

Yes, yeah, he's shooting.

He's a twenty nine ten and twelve twelve. He's averaging twelve rebounds uh uh and uh ten or sister. Yeah, forty point triple double and rebound well, forty points he getting that?

Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not doing that.

Well, hell, I'm telling you if you got Shade doing what he's done doing every night before injury, he just came back what he had.

Twenty six, twenty seven yeah, yeah, and remember he had thirty the other night.

And he and he ministerstriction. Hey hey hey.

And then when you look when you look at them old Bulls teams even I mean Michael Jordan leading the catalysts.

Man, them dudes were yoked up. Okay, I'm talking my boy.

The boy will cut up then this I mean uh Scott uh Dennis yea. Yes, they had the breakfast club to where they met and they lift face and all that before practice.

Them dudes didn't play no games, you.

Know, they they they they was And plus you gotta think about it, Joe, to get average a triple double as a guard, you gotta I mean, Russ.

What Russ did is.

Unbelievable because you gotta chase down a lot of loose balls to get that ten rebounds a game. And that's what we give Russ credit for it, because like we're like, damn, this man, Russ is the best rebounding guard We've ever seen a guy to six for the league just getting rebounds like that. But that's a lot of effort that you gotta exert to go chase that rebounds. The hardest part is, I think it's a sense because you got to count on somebody to make the shot. I'll get

Who that mean? That means you gotta go out there hunting?

Yes, yes, yes, And that's why that's why they gave Russ so much slack, because they felt like he was out there stat padding, you know, getting them triple doubles, but he out there hunting for them rebounds right every time they get them. If you are big, you up under the basket, you're gonna get it. You're gonna get a lot of them, right right right.

But as a guard, you gotta make a conscious to make a conscience get down there. Yeah.

Now Jordan's in that kind of shape, because Russ is in that kind of shape to exert that kind of energy to push the pace like he's pushing the pace to go and get the rebounds a box out to go way over there and track down the rebounds.

That's a lot of energy. No, doubt in my mind that he could average forty.

But it's the double digital system, double digit rebounds, and I was like, I don't know about that now. I think that's asking a bit much. Wasn't he averaged thirty seven eight and eight? Yeah, he averaged thirty seven eight and eight the year he won the MVP.

Or was it thirty five? I think eighty five eighty six? What year did it? What was it?

Or was it eighty seven eighty eight that he won MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. He's the first to win them in the same season.

Damn all, I ain't gonna even lie.

I don't know what I know it in his career, and I think that's the thing, man, It's got to be early in your career, because boy, you you if you if it be though twenty eight, twenty nine, chasing, chasing, chasing behind that basketball like that, That's what I'm saying. You gotta keep the hat to Russ. You do you understand for a guard to get that many rebounds? Do you understand the kind of effort, the energy, the effort

Like that's tough, bro.

Death, but look, just to put the ball in the basket the way he could put the ball in the basket and you couldn't hand checking. Yeah, it's gonna be hard. It's gonna be hard to keep. It's gonna be hard to keep it. Hey, But the problem is, Joe, they might get mad because they don't like you shoot. Either you dunk the ball or you shoot the three. You ain't shooting no minute. They get mad if you shoot the mini. Yeah, the analytics, analytics, we don't want to

Really, a fifteen foot two point shot is a bad shot.

Now, dang hey, that's that's all they told was growing up. Shoot that fifteen foot That's all my uncle used to talk about a man when I was in high school.

When I was in high school, a man, Hey, you gotta get that fifteen foot in your game. Man, you gotta get that fifteen foot. I'm like, all right, bro' working there fifteen foot in your game. Joe. You need that twenty two foot of your game. You need it. Ain't look, I'm gonna keep it real. You need it all.

Like you know, the great one, yea great one was the great scores. Guys who really loved the score on. They got everything and they arsenal from the little touch shots that we call folders, yeah, middies, to the to the twenty two footters to the three, to the two three steps behind the three point line.

They call them four level scores.

Hey, Joe, I'm I'm gonna add Joe, but what you what your midy looking like.

Right now cash cash? Yeah you think so?

Man, Listen, see I mean, hold on, Joe, but you're saying, you saying your midy is cash. But it's a cash for somebody guard you.

That's the difference.

Look if you're trying to say when you guard me, I shoot that tower man on you? Oh Jo, I don't even see you when I go up to shoot it and I let that goose neck, we call it that.

That's that goose neck. You see that? Yeah? He a Joe?

Can I say something real quick? I mean, no disrespect, I know, but you got to bring the ball up. How you gonna bring the ball up when I'm in your face?

Well in my shot pockets. So in basketball you got shot pockets. And I work on hot high pickups. So by the time pick it up, that's like up there, you know, close to where your where your eyes that you ain't gonna you ain't gonna see.

None of this here. Don't worry about that. Just get it out of Joe.

Hey, listen, Joe really thinks sh it's sweet, Like I can't I can't wait till we do this little.

One on one.

I mean, like it ain't it ain't what you think it is, play boy.

I know, I just sport.

I respect you and what you do, but it really it really ain't finna be.

That a a you need how to aduct sayss man. You ain't gonna be Yeah, you ain't doing nothing with this hell.

Yo, litter. You too little and you ain't got enough breaks in your back pocket home work. Joe.

I'm six four two o five.

Joe, what you mean I've been around you, partner, you ain't.

Okay, I'm six three.

I'm six three, and I think they think that.

But also the one thing we know, the really great players can bother their game. You look at look at Lebron. Lebron didn't shoot the three. I mean he's struggled a little bit. He's struggling a little bit, but you see every he's like, you know what, if I want to stay I'm gonna have to shoot this three. Look at brook Lopez. Brook Lopez has found a way to stay in the game because he's never been a great rebounder.

No great shooter.

He had to work on that. He had to work on that. Then he became a pretty good shooter. You know what I mean, You ain't doing You can't do nothing with what he got going on. And this thing is kind of like what they did the same thing with him that they do they honest, build a wall. You got to keep him out of the paint, keep him out of the lane. Hey, Pop was telling back off,

There you go.

So hey, and the really good, the really good guys, they're gonna adapt, They're gonna find a way. They're gonna find a way to get the job done. Now you know, they said Jordan couldn't go this way and he couldn't go that way. All I know is nobody could put the ball. And they toobouch was this guy is a better scorer.

All I know?

If that man had a bunch of thirty points seasons, you don't win Jim scoring titles? Would I being prolific and put the ball in the basket?

Yeah?

Hen and say he wanted to consent he won seven consecutive, took a break and say you know what I see, I'll be back and one three more.

Hey a uncle Joe, what if Jordan never did take that break, do you see any more championships in that window.

Where he was gone?

Yeah, yeah, he would have got two more. I think he got bored. I think he got bored. Okay, Oh Joe, that's why he wanted. You know, obviously his dad passing probably weighed a lot on him and him want to go try baseball to see if he and he was so good at basketball. I think he was like, you know what, I think to take this greatness the baseball.

I want to challenge myself.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He went out for that challenge, took a couple of years out, came back and picked the right way to left off it.

I ain't nobody done that.

Yeah, that's crazy.

I think the thing is, man, it's it's easy to say yes, but we've seen, you know, an injury here or injury there, and that changes the whole landscape. Because we saw Scotty Pippens back. I gave out on him and it almost cost him a series against Utah, and before and before they really started winning, Scotty had problems with my grades and we saw how that and hip impacted them winning.

So man, so many things have to be right.

And for the most part, he never got injured in the playoffs. He never had nothing was reported. I mean, I'm sure he had bumps and bruises, but he really never had. And he never had a teammate. He didn't have a teammate to go down like or when San Antonio had was going and they would look like they were gonna give Golden State all they can handle. And for cheap shot in Kawhi lands on his ankles. Yeah, boom he out, Yeah, Kyrie and Kevin love he's out.

Uh Magic.

One year Magic heard his hamstring and then James word to hurt his hamstring. The Bulls were very, very fortunate not to have any serious injuries. But to put together a streak like that, Joe, where they won, they won, you know, three and three, But to put it together.

And to go eight straight, to go eight straight years.

It's hard man to keep all that rubb on the tread because think about you going you you playing the June every year, Joe.

Yeah, think about it.

Your mentality gotta be different, Oho, Like these dudes never got satisfied with winning with success, you know what I mean. They was always okay, boom, let's win another one. Boom, let's win another one.

Like bro.

Mentally, it's got to wear in town because you going to the end of the season every year and then picking right back up with.

Oh we got a bad special guests joining us.

Now it's time to welcome mister tenderism himself, mister Walter Johnson.

Mister Johnson, how you doing you muted? Unmute yourself?

H old school like now I don't know what. Hopefully somebody that could he he's muted. Jack Bear, would just a second, get somebody with him.

Dona's man. You accept me on your showing shop.

Thank you, no, thank you for coming on. Uncle O, Joey and Joe we really appreciate you. Can we go back to the beginning. How does this how did you become involved in? How did this destination smoke house. How did this thing take off?

Hey, you know, I'll tell you what it was. See, we started at h it was a place. It was it was a shop, okay, it was a coffee shop, okay. And I went in about five years ago, and then I made some gumbo. I've been with him married since, and uh so we flipped the coffee shop to a smoke house.

Okay.

Yeah, So you go in there, it was a coffee shop. You go in there and make some gumbo, and you turn it into a smokehouse. Now I found out about destination because I see you and you talk about you shaking the stuff, the risk it and the beef rims and it's falling off the bones. Then you started doing oxtail. So from the time we got to the coffee shop turning into the smoke the smoke house, until we are now, how do we get from that to this to where.

We are now? Mister Johnson, Indism, tendonism, tending.

There's that's how we got there.

Oh tendonism. You fact you coined the phrase tenderism, yes, sir.

And so now it seems like everybody started like, man, oh got this thing going on because a lot of people in.

The beginning thought it was your shop.

They didn't realize that you had You know, you fixed the gumbow, but you were not the sole proprietor. Or you weren't the proprietor of the shop. So how do we end up?

Is there a fallout? Are you still cool with the owner? What's going on?

Because I'm hearing that you open up a shop in Texas, might be having something coming to Atlanta.

So how did we get to where we are now? Mister Johnson, Hey.

Man, this is how we got here? Sean, Hey, uh, tex Houston. Let's talk with Houston.

Okay.

Did you ever think it would blow up like this?

So?

When? When? When did you realize that you know, what we might be onto something?

When I rolled that oxtail man one day man on the side of the building of Black Diamonds.

Yeah, it came off like an orange.
