Just as we predicted, the NBA has rescinded Luca donta sixteenth technical foul allowed him to play Monday nights road game against the Detroit Pacers. I don't I mean Detroit Pistons. The Pistons.

I don't. I don't think.

I don't think we know about anyone is surprised that the Lakers are playing too well. Luca is a super super superstar. The last thing you want him to do is off.

The leading the league and scoring that that's that's gonna be a big game for him.

See, you know they want the Lakers to keep winning too.

Anybody that's been in Atlanta, y'all know, y'all know if y'all, if you Atlanta, you're a guy, you know about the Claremont Lounge, you know exactly what.

I'm talking about.

Seventy man. So um old Joe, they ain't got stretch mark. They got man, come on, I'm telling you, Joe. You're like, oh no, I ain't no.

Way what you were doing now.

You know? Man? Oh?

Because you know, like you got to stay for an institute somewhere and yeah, man, you got you just got to see it.

You just got to see it. Yeah, I might have to pull up over the clap mind.

Yeah, how many times? How many times you went there?

I ain't with but like once or twice because on the first time, you got to go the second time to make sure what to make sure and I went on a different night, so you gotta make sure cut it back, you know what it might have been.

The time was night right, right, right, So I just.

Had to make sure what I saw the first time, like, yeah, this is this is it?

Got hey, but y'all shut out? Man, man, you know y'all got me hype man. You know what after after the show, I'm gonna go to booby trapping nights.

But you're gonna go eat man, you finel No, you canna take your lass to bear it's eleven o'clock.

No, no, no, I'm going for real.

Yeah, yes, it's uh yeah, you ain't going nowhere.

Hey, Joe, Hey, somebody there, somebody putting. It's on punts. It's on punts.

Yeah, Joe, I'm telling you.

I'll tell you doc. Been in no five time, been there twice. Lakers marks they're eleven to one, one hundred and twenty five, one hundred and twenty one point five offensive

I don't know about like champ being championship contenders. I think they they I think they can get out of the first round depending on who they play against. But champions, that's that's that's saying a lot, that's saying a lot.

Man.

I know they they I know they playing good, they feeling good, they're looking good. But I don't know about contenders. You think they contenders?

I don't know.

I think they can beat everybody in the West. I don't know if they can. I don't really think they can beat San Antonio or Golden okay see, okay see, but I've seen Luca take down okay see by himself, him and Kyrie.

I saw that. Yeah, yeah, I saw that. Okay, see, so I know I know what Luca can do. Yeah.

The question is he's gonna need Austin because Kyrie was able to have some big games. He's gonna need Lebron. Yeah, efficient yes, somebody told me. But yeah, they got they got a couple of bullet wounds. They got some little exit wounds. Yeah, they do little down marks.

People. Somebody don't put out a cigarette or something on them.

But it's okay, Okay.

We go with Steph.

Curry tees the idea of possibly joining the Charlotte Hornets

Joe, you're saying, if Steph.

Curry go to Charlotte.

And and get his dad Jersey after Rafters, I don't see that. They definitely be sold out every night. I know he's from now. I know that home from Baja. Wow, I can't see that. I can't. I'm sorry, I can't see it.

I don't see him playing any where with Golden State.

Yeah, Steph is in an error where everybody's kind of moving around Steph Stephae is a it's a one jersey team, one Jersey guy.

I don't know about that, neither, fellas. Do you think Steph step might be able to deal. I don't know. I think it might be possible.

I mean, I think the Warriors probably if they ain't making the play in OO, they ain't in the playoffs, it's like, man, don't don't, don't let him go out. Don't let him go out like that, Like, I think you can trade him and he can still contend for a title.

You put him on the right team. Oh yeah, for sure, Yeah absolutely.

I just think their courses kind of ran when it comes to Golden State talking about they ain't getting back there. I don't see that.

No, that's a wrap deep.

All right, it's time for our final sagment, but even it's time for q he before we get to our

Hi, let's take a listen. It's good with a night cap.

Yes, definitely smoking good a hop back on hand saying wool pig, suey baby, yeah yeah.

Woe hey, they won't cloud nine over there?

I know.

Hey, just make sure there's no confusion. Four. It sparked up over that, look at it. Yeah, woo pig.

Yeah.

Ready.

This one comes from Xavier. Let's take a listen to what Xavier had to say. I have two questions for you and Joe. I have one question for you. First question, Uncle, you worked with Skip in La. How did you stay disciplined with the breakfast you would post every morning? You know, to keep your body in tip top shape. And the second question is how much different is it working with Skip versus your old colleagues like Steven A. Smith and the other people over at ESPN that you worked with.

Go ahead, Joe, I let you start for me. It wasn't that, you know, teams did anything different. Obviously, Uh, it was a great dribble move and obviously I finished the shot. But I mean, yeah, was everybody talking about it. Yeah, but I don't think people will. I don't think teams were just coming in and looking to defend me differently. You know, I probably had about twenty one points that game. It wasn't like I will, I have fifty five and I made him fall. You feel what I'm saying. But

Yeah. Well the first question is, you know, how do you stay discipe.

It's very easy because I had been eating the egg whites and oatmeal since ninety three, so and I ate or egg whits and oatmeal until the pandemic happened.

So let that just goes to show I had I had.

Eaten that for like twenty seven years straight, egg whits and oatmeal every morning for year yep. From nineteen ninety three until late February of twenty twenty, when the pending happened, so it was nothing for me, and plus because I was like, you know, because we had to be there before the pandemic happened, Joe, we.

Had to be there. We had production media at four thirty in the morning.

Yes, whoa.

So it got hard.

So it was easy when Lebron was on this coast because they're playing four thirty tall games. I'm out this man, come to La they play, So now I'm up ten and I got to get right back up at four show would get to the place. I only left two miles from the play, so it only tells me about if I caught the lights just right, it would I could get to work in three minutes, and so it

It was more of a car It was more of a conversation, Oh, Joe, what do you think about this? Joe? What do you think about this? Shane? What do you think about this? Stephen A?

I mean, of a skip, I'm planting my flag right here and I'm not moving off this. And now, you Bill, you build your case, You build your argument to support what you're saying. So uh And that's why that's where you learn is that you never you never bring something into the argument that doesn't help your case. If you bring it in, it better help your case because if it doesn't, all you've done is strengthen his argument, and you don't want to strengthen his argument. My strongest point,

I got a hot plate, I got I got all that up.

They let me do it. Hey, I'm like, okay, let's see how far we can push it up. So it's just different. Obviously they're not letting me. They were gonna let me bring no kanyac, no gum, is no weed. I had actual weed. Yeah, I'd actually gun meanes with them on the desk. I'm drinking at six thirty in the morning. I got pancakes, I got sausage, I got eggs. I got a sign say club shad shape feature change.

So I and when I did this, I had no I had no idea that it was gonna take off, because you don't know. I'm just having a good time. Cowboys Broncos beat the Cowboys. I want to celebrate. Ain't no cigarette, ain'tnything open but convenience store at three thirty at four o'clock in the morning. Man, you know what, So I get some black and Miths against some Swish and sweets. I grab a bottle of liquor and and.

Next thing you know, I got, I got but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's gone.

And from that day on, I've been on Aaron Wilson. What do you think about Daryl Green trying to make the Olympic flag team.

I'm rooting for it. Oh, DG.

I came in in ninety. DG came in eighty three. So did you like sixty five? He gotta be sixty five.

He's trying to make the what team?

Flag team?

Team eight?

So that's that's two years away, so he'll be sixty seven sixty eight hold on the flag football team.

Yeah, I've seen time about that throwing that thing.

Boy, then they got that ad warped.

Hey you see the body, Molly Wood.

Hey remember when we talked about that on the shows? What did I say?

What happened is God, they can't play. Yeah, they can score, but they can't stop the other team from Yeah, he talking about how they dipping low and all that, and yeah, I mean they picked them up twice, they got two picked sexes.

Yeah, and just the game in general.

I mean, Joe that the nuances of flag football is completely different, different, and we we would we would lose every time. And me and uncle had a conversation about this. Maybe maybe it last year, maybe year before last. Yeah, and I said, man, boys, with us, we can get our best players in the NFL and play them in flag football.

And they would sing us every time, and there was a smaller.

Tample of it. Anthony Brackett Jr. Who is your all time Duke? Started five? Christen Lader and Grant Hill. That's two spots. You're going. You're going with her, You're going with Harley at the one you're going hurl now, Yeah, either Kyrie or j will.

Oh Jason Williams, Jameson Williams, Jason william Oh, I forgot about Jason william Jason william might be the second or third best.

Player in Duke history. Why you bullgiving people? Listen.

People don't realize how good Jay Huh before he got hurt out, he was a two time consensus All American.

He was Player of the Year, Wooden Player of the Year, a Player of the Year. No, he was, he was phenomenal.

Okay, okay, led him to a national championship.

No, hell no, Jason, Oh he definitely. Okay, Now we got two spots. We got two spots, Jay Will, grad Hill, Christian Ladner. That's three spots. Okay. You got Johnny Dawkins, you got huh Tommy Amercker, you got Kyrie, you got Ben Carroll, you got Tatum Flag, you got Zion Williamson, you got allah Abda Nabby, you got Cherokee Park.

You could have whomever. But there are three guys that's gonna be on there.

Yeah, Jay Will, he gotta be on that. Hey man, he was so cold, bro. You know, me and him the same high school class. So I got a chance to play with him in a couple of All Star games, and he was cold.

People don't realize how good he was because, oh Joe, he got on the motorcycle and you know, he wrecked himself after his rookie year and he was never the same, and you know they moved on. But boy, in college, he was like that, Lord have mercy. He was absolutely like that. Uh so who else you got who who?

Oh?

We forgot about Elton brand Ever, Brad was the first guy that had to go.

Hold on you ain't You ain't gonna put Tatum or or or or or be Ion and nobody in that ain't. They ain't making it. I said, I'm talking about college. I'm talking about just college. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about college.

Cherokee, Christian Laightoner, Jay Will and Grant Hill. Those three gonna be on there now. If you want.

Zion Zim was college player of the Year? Uh uh, Zion? Who else? College player? Cooper Flag was Cooper Player Year.

If you want to put Cooper Flag, you want to put a b I you want to put Tatum, you want to put who Elton brand.

I don't care.

But I don't think you can have a duke starting five with out j Will, with our grand Hill and what j Riddick, That's what.

That was another I think didn't JJ wouldn't play O the year? I think so. I know he was a hell of a player. Duke boy you Hey, you put.

Hey?

And we forgot about Danny Faerry. People don't realize how good Danny Fairy was in college. I ain't talking about the NBA. I'm not talking about the NBA. They said the starting five at Duke, so it's only based on what you did it, Duke. I think Danny Fair was a number two overall draft pick. I think Purpose was number one. He's supposed to be like that, man, that's all do hey, dud Duke had a five. I mean, look at all the number one overall picks.

They had Elton brand, Uh, Kyrie, Zion, Polo Bank, Caroll, what picked J? J Will? Go? J Will? With two who went before him? I think they had to be the O two draft? Who was that? So that was after that was after us, That was after the high schoolers.

Uh, the high school was still coming before the high school because Lebron was Old three, the White House was over.

Now what I'm saying, but you know my class O one was Tyson Chandler, Eddie Curry Brown. Those those three high schoolers were in the top five picks. So then O two is when Jay Will came in. I don't know, I can't remember.

What it y'all mean?

Oh two, look at look at those two drafts because O three was Lebron Old Forward, d White Howard.

To Yeah, yeah, I mean.

Oh, y'all mean one j Will two, Mike Dunlany Duke. Yeah, the man dude has some players, man a lot.

Yeah.

I just, I just I just don't know how you I just don't know how you keep. I just don't know how you keep j Will, Christian Lightner. Christian Lightner is a mount rushboard duke player. He's a mount rushboard duke player. That's how good he was. Shelton Pope with l SU retired Flage Jersey great job, Big Three night Cap, Late Night Sports Show Today, win the Big Three Nightcap.

Merch coming out Vlage.

Will they retire her number? She's she as a freshman. As a freshman they won the national championship with Angel Reese was on that team. I think I think it would be a better chance had she won College Player of the Year, she's most Outstanding Player, All American or something like that.

I think it's gonna be hard when you're not. You're not a first team All American, You're not.

Uh.

I don't think she's ever been Conference Player of the Year. I don't think she's ever been National Player of the Year something like that.

You know, that's I mean to retire your Jersey that's normally retired for A Wilson, A Caitlin Clark, a Britney grinder, A Maya Moore, A Dina t Rossi, a juju.

You know she had a phenomenal career. Uh but I don't know what you what you want?
