I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. How you feeling? Most importantly, I feel great, brother, I feel amazing, happy to be

out of Miami and onto the next city. Hell out of Miami. But other than that, I feel space. Tackler man. Good, good, good.

You don't want to miss all the exciting news. All right, dub Nation, what's happening? Jimmy's return to Miami didn't go It's playing as we saw, But it seemed like the

environment in Miami wasn't you. I mean, I wouldn't say it wasn't so tough, but you know, you just never know going home. What was the biggest takeaway from from that heat game? Because I know it was a lot of pressure for him and just a lot of pressure for y'all to want to win that game, and just the way they've been playing, it wouldn't seem the environment wouldn't seem tough. But I want you to describe what

it was like. The atmosphere was actually cool. It was actually one of the best atmospheres I've ever seen out of Miami game. You know, usually when you're playing Miami that started the game, the stands are halffield. Start in the whole third quarter, the stands are halffield. You know, people come back in the fourth quarter when the club's closing the arena. That's usually how the Miami games are

in their seats. For this game, which I found very interesting to me, it sounded like their crowd was a little confused. It sounded like they felt like they were supposed to be booing Jimmy, but he got so much love. There's so much love there and so it wasn't quite the amount of booze that you thought, you know, with with how the whole situation played out, that there would be.

But quite honestly, I don't think there should have been a million booze because at the end of the day, Jimmy has had an opportunity to leave in free agency or go into free agency, and he decided to sign an extension and stay with the team. Every year, people continued to ask, they're gonna bringing Damian Lillard, They're going to bring in Giannis on to the Kompo, They're going to bring in this person. They're going to bring in that person to double down and help Jimmy take this

team to a championship that never happened. And so at a certain point, Jimmy's in year fourteen, He's given them seven years of his career. At a certain point, you just got to appreciate what somebody's given and just like they move on and it is what it is, and saying that people aren't always rational, and it is what it is. But I do think the environment was cool.

It wasn't one of the toughest environments. But what did not help is that they were they like they turned into a bunch of Steph Curries out there, Like they shot eighteen for twenty five from three beat that's unheard of. Yeah, that's crazy, that's crazy numbers. And then you know what, I'm watching the game and I'm like, damn, dude, you miss wig right, you know, talk about how weird or just like playing against wigs, we you know, he played good,

he made time. He shot the same thing as we know him for with dumb Nation, you know, speak to that. It was weird. You know, you're going to war with the god for the last what five years, and one championship built the relationship. My kids cry when they found out Wiggs was gone because his kids and my kids have a great relationship, and they cried when they found

out he was going. I told Wiggs, I was like, man, So I saw him obviously right after trade that line on all side right, and I was like, Wiggs, Man, my kids was crying when they found out that your girls were gone. He was like, brother, That's the only thing I might kept saying. It's like, wait, so I don't get to see my friends anymore, and so there's just so much more than just basketball there. So to see a brother, your brother on the other side, it

was definitely weird. Obviously, I'm pissed off we lost the game we needed to win and wanted to win. But I'm also happy to see Wags play well because again that the love just there. It's bigger than just a game, you know what I'm saying. I'm happy to see him playing well, starting to find his foot of because I think he got so much of his career left ahead of him. To see him starting to find his footing, finding his rhythm down in that system, I think, I

think it's great. So I was happy to see him play well, although it resulted in us in a loss, but you'd hate to see him struggle. Yeah, it just felt weird, you know, seeing him do that for them and knowing that you know, all them shots and all the players he making was timely and then man, I need a steph curry up day, like what's the what's the word on the chef? He practiced today, full practice. We actually got up and down, we played a little bit. So he did that, which was great to see. Hit

a couple of threes right out the gate. That was beautiful to see. And then he got a full workout in after and at one point I watched him make like twenty seven in a row from from the right wing. So hopefully all signs is pointing to him playing in the New Orleans game. At least that's what we hope. There's been no official clearance given yet, but the hope is that he that he's you know, obviously you go through a full practice. You go through full workout the

way he did. The most important thing now is about how you wake up feeling in the morning. And so we'll see how he wakes up feeling in the morning. But I think all signs will be pointing to him returning. And you know, we need it because these games we gotta lock in. Hopefully, like I said, he looked good and hopefully you know, he wake up in the morning on the right side of it, so we can get

a cracker. I like opportunities like this, like you're coming off, you know, a tough loss in Miami, right the road trip ain't off to the right track, and then you get ah, you get a good practice, yes, sir, talk about that, like sometimes you just need to get a good practice in to be a little upset, to be mad about something, to realize like hey, let's get this thing back on track. Then to see Steph Curry in practice. I remember that happened for us and are we believe here?

Like you know, we're we're on the road. We couldn't get a win, And I came back and practice the next day and it was just like the camaraderie, you know, like to be able to get up and down and

be at fools, right, and how you're leader there. Talk about that a little bit, just the importance of practicing on the road, and then also talk about, you know, Steve kersays this all the time, this Pelican game is really important, and talk about the importance of the practice, and tell tell me about the importance of this next game against the Pelicans. The practice is really important because the reality is we haven't had any practice time. So you start to see slippers in the game. You know,

teams are starting to guard us a certain way. Now that teams are adjusting to Jimmy being with us and there's more film, they're starting to guard us a certain way, and we need practice time to learn how to attack the way that they're guardless, you know. But without practice time, you're kind of just doing everything on the fly. So

to have this practice town today it was huge. Also, like you said, coming off of you know, losing the first two on the roads, you kind of need to get back in the side le refocus, Uh, what what is it that we're trying to accomplish, And you know, hammer away at those things. And I think that's what we did. And so like you said to get up and down was good getting out of Miami and you know, just getting that good sweat and getting you know, finding that rhythm. I think that was good. So, you know,

a much needed practice. And then also, like you said, with stuff coming back on the court, you just see a different juice and everybody, like you know, it perks everybody up because you know the possibilities, you know what lies ahead, and so I think you know, overall, just

just having him back is it changes a lot. Obviously we know what it changes on the basketball court, but it changes the demeanor of everybody knowing that you know, these next few games we go into will be whole, you know what I'm saying, and not not missing stuff, or at least that's the hope. Like I said, so I come at a good time for us, uh, you know, off to all to best case would be to finish this road trip for in too, and if we're able

to do that, it's a great road trip. This New Orleans game is so important because shit, man, we're right there, Like you know, the Clippers passed us to go set and take the sixth spot in the West, but we're right there. Obviously, Todd with the same amount of losses. They got a tough couple of tough games that they'll face, but we still face them, so we still control our own destiny. And that's why it's important, because you want to keep yourself in the position and where you control

your own destiny. It's Publicans team. They win and beat Minnesota a week and a half ago, so in the game that they weren't expected to win, so we know they're always going to come out and play hard. They want to play spoiler. We just got to come out and play our brand and basketball, handle our business, not fuck around with the game, and make sure we take care of our business to start building that momentum back up and make sure we finish these last ten games throng.

I like that. You know what else I like about the practice is practice fing like not having the ability to practice is you make a lot of mistakes in the game trying to do make counters right, and so practice, if you can get a few good practices in, you make all the mistakes thinking about the counters. You get to walk through the counters. You get to you know,

you get to move through the counters. That's what Nelly was always good about, is like trying to get us to practice so we could work on counters because, like you said, like now that Jimmy is playing, y'all getting scouted, you know, it's a different it's a different warrior. Look. So you need that practice to go back and say, Okay, they playing they playing me this way, when they playing

you that way? You know what are alternatives? And you know, it's always great to sharpen those tools when it.

you know that's always tough to replace. Moses has been stepping up in that aspect, being a great point of attack defender, so he'll have to step that up another level. But GP's impact on the game, it's not It's not just his point of attack defense. GP knows how to find increasing defenses. He's great at finishing around the rim. Uh, he plays the dunker spot really well. He is a lob threat for us, and so he has a huge impact.

He's a great screener for Steph. Him and Steph has a great chemistry, you know, and so that that that definitely has a big impact on our team. It has a big impact on rotations. I think there's been so much chatter about JK and what he need to do and how you need to find his lane and this, that and the other. And what I would say with GP being out is, if I'm Jonathan Kmena, forget what

everybody talking about, forget what everybody's saying. If I'm john to think Kminga right now, I'm saying GP, I want to guard the best guard when I come in the game, I want to be the point of attack defender. I'm gonna hawk this guard. I'm gonna change the momentum of the game. I'm gonna embrace. Yes, I'm gonna embrace that because we know he can score, right, like we know what he's capable of on the offensive end. Imagine him embracing that role and saying, I'm guarding the best defender.

I'm picking up full I'm gonna work myself to exhaustion because I'm anna defend so hard, like that's how you win championships. And so if I'm john to think Aminga, that's my mindset, and I think he's more than capable of being that and doing that, and if he does, godly changes everything I've been saying. If he can take you know, a piece of angriness, right, he needs to be angry on the defensive end, but also be able

to be that that bridge between you and Jimmy. And from what from what I'm hearing from you is really he should be the connective tissue, the starting point, right, he should be the weak side block guy. He should be, you know, taking the challenge. And you know I've been

saying this all years. Kaminga takes that next level when he decides that he wants to be defensive player of the Year, right, because he has the capabilities of doing that, he also has the offense to do that and his defense is going to be his best offense, and I think it just you'll open up the world, the world

of events for him. But before moving on to upcoming games, speaking of Kaminga, it was a clip of him at Karris l Burt Cominga was talking trash to each other and then I hear you drop the line from the top rope. You've been trading seven times, Like why why why does Draymond Green you just hit them with the Coodie Girl number one. I didn't. I had no idea. The microphones caught my voice. I thought I was just

suddenly after free throw line button. And then I got to my phone and they like, day while you killed him like that, And I'm like, what, Like my response to my boys like dang, y'all caught that. They was like, yeah, the TV called it for sure. I was like, dangn my bad. And you know some of my boys in the group chat from Michigan State, They're like, fuck that he from the other side anyway, so wow, Yeah, a couple of my boys in the group chat also went

to Michigan. So then this marks this Michigan Michigan State thing in our group chat. But actually I know charriage to one of my boys in the group. Had that went to Michigan. Karen's a good dude, man. You know. We bantered back and forth on the court. That's just what it is. That's what happens in the game. That's just fun and games, you know, were always gonna banter. But I will tell you the reason I jumped in.

I was just checking into the game too, and I butted in because all I heard was like he looking at j KD like at the free throw line, and he was like, you was this close to being traded. That's what he said, Like, you was this close to being traded, and so that's all I heard. I didn't hear anything else that was saying. All I heard was you was this close to being traded, which was why my response was, Bro, you've been traded seven times? Like how you gonna talk to him about almost being traded

and you'd have been traded seven times? So then trade and they picked it up. Trade go Ain, chilled, Dre. They just talking jump man shit, and then Carris goes he started talking about me being traded first. But I wasn't hearing none of that. At that point. I had already went off the top rope and it was what it was, is over it boom. But apparently JK must has said to him like something about you keep getting traded and so then he was disclosed to bit. But

I ain't hear all that. All I heard was you was dis closed to be And the last thing you're gonna do to one of my guys is talk about them being this close to me. I can't I can't go with that. I can't go with that. But no, I got a lot of love for cars Man, good dude. Yeah, shout out to cars We got love for you, bro. I just like the now of the league. It's a lot of chippiness. You know, everybody talking smack to each other like it's real, real conversations, and like, you don't

get a lot of that. Is getting back to this match of my cho Yeah, yeah, don't cross my TI. It has to And I like, I like what these young dudes is coming in because they're trying to claim their territory. They trying to establish themselves. And you got anytime you got the old with the new, it's gonna create some chippiness, right, It's gonna create more competitiveness, and these games have been great to watch because of that. For sure, real rivalry is gonna be built off of this.

You know, people gonna have real vandettas versus teams and so this part of the season, somebody gonna get bumped, and so it creates a lot of opportunity for rivalries. And I say for the young dudes, like, man, keep talking ship to Dreymond. You know, keep talking, keep talking and ship you know, like, yeah, it keeps standing up to the old gis because it's just gonna build that

competitive edge. The reason they should keep talking to me, you know why, because I talk to every old hell when I came in the league, I talked trying to hear none of that. I don't care what you did before I got here. Go talk to somebody else. You did that against me, because you ain't that against me. So I don't got no respect for that. Like that's the type of time I came in on. Soide respect.

When guys come in that type of time and guys talking the way they talking you, right, that is how these different rivalries are going to be built, which is going to attack the problem when you start talking about viewership, because you need rivals when you're talking about viewership and all those things has kind of been torn down. So I'm excited as hell man that that that the league

is kind of getting back to that shippiness. Referees are letting guys talking, not calling the double tech right away, like that's the stuff that people want to see. Nobody want to see somebody say something. Somebody say something boom double tech, Like nobody want to see robots plays in real life. Yeah, we need we need the referees to be chaperons. They need to be chaperons. That's that's what I say. You know, hey, too close, call a file every now and again. But let these young boys do

their thing like they trying. They trying to climb up on the totem poone, and we need for that to happen. It's a pecking order in the league. It's a hierarchy in the league. These young dudes gotta see it, believe in and talk about it to themselves. Somebody gotta take this crown. Somebody gotta take the crowd. Can't be the king, go to parking lot. Somebody got to take the trash talk cra We got to now. But the young fellas leading the charge now Anthony Edwards, John Morett, them boys

leading the chart. Shae, don't say a bunch but shake hit you with a bunch of Like he gets your bunch of he got like it's like like he gave you a bunch of expressions, a bunch of little subtle jobs. But like really in your face talking, follow be talking to people. He be letting them know, hollow do talk. These young boys starting to talk a little bit again. I like that. The Pelicans the next up, he played

against Zion Williams. Earlier in the season. You talked about how tough it was, the difference in his game since they traded away brandon Ingram, and like, what's the philosophy going into a game like this playing against especially the way he's playing. He's playing great basketball. You know, he's looks like he's an incredible shape. He looks explosive. He looks as explosive as he did at Duke. That's a monster,

you know what I'm saying. But he's so much more aggressive now since the trade, the line since he's been back in the lineup since the trade, he's so much more aggressive to get downhill and they're running a lot of things to get him downhill. He's really pressing the issue, putting a lot of pressure on the rim. So you know, you just like I always say, you gotta meet force with force. Zion is gonna always come very forceful, and in order to match him, you have to meet that

forceful force. If you don't, you get ran over. And that's just what it is. And so he too fully plays tomorrow. I know he had been out the last few games since they played in Minnesota. You know, I love playing against guys like Zion because they like when you play against the guys, they bring the best out of you. You know what I'm saying. They bring you. You know, you got to bring your a game and they bring the best out of you. So I hope

he plays tomorrow. You know, like I said, I always look forward to match up, especially against these younger guys too, because it allows you to see where you where you at, you know what I'm saying. Like, you know, their legs a little different than yours these days, so it allows you to see like, all right, I'm here still. You know, you know, you always want to take on that want that tough challenge. I enjoyed a tough challenge, but he's been balling. Man, you gotta give him his credit. He

in incredible shape. You know, shout out to Zion. A lot of people talked a lot of shit about Zion, and you know he doing the work and you know, got himself in great shape and playing great basketball. So shout out to him. Y'all face the Spurs after the Pelicans right now, Stefan Castle seems to be Rookie of the Year front runner. Do you think he should win

Rookie of the Year. I think he should. I think I spoke about him earlier this year on the five when after we played them, and I was just saying, like, yo, I think that kid is gonna be real. When I look at the rookie class, he's been the most consistent all year. He's been the most consistent player all year. I think everybody else has been up and down. He's been extremely consistent. There's no one in the rookie class

that's done anything that jumps off the page. And so I think, you know, if there's no one that's done anything that jumps off the page, the next thing except Stephan Castle has had games that jump off the page, too, you know, sure, But I mean the whole body of work over the court. You know, like there's no rookie average in twenty points. There hasn't been a dominant rookie. Yeah,

you haven't seen that. Nonetheless, I think with his consistency, if you haven't had the dominance from someone, he has had some great games that jump off the page, but his consistency all year would make him the rookie of the year. And as I said before, I think you look back at this rookie out of the year, you give this Rookie of the Year to some other guys. Possibly you look back and be like, damn, he won Rookie of the Year. Stuff one castle. You're gonna look

back in two years like, well he all Stars. So I guess we got it right. So he got that potential, he will reach that potential. We gotta get it right. That's the guy. He should be Rookie of the Year. One thousand percent. I think he should get it. He deserves it. Consistency, showed up at All Star Weekend, performed dunk contest, took the second half of the season, stepped his game up, shows that he's ready for the next level,

right and he can do it at this level. At a consistent basis, and we haven't seen that from you know a lot of rookies, especially high draft pick rookies at all this season. And so there's been that you know that rookie Lowell or inconsistent. Man. This dude, he really building something. And I like his brand. I like the way he play. You know, no Fox, no winby right. You got Chris Paul, you got your og over there helping you out. So he's destined to be great. Look

at the point guards that Chris Paul Mentor. They came into the league. People thought they'd be back up point guards. They ended up going to other places and started Eric Blesso, Darren Collison, Denim Schroeder. Like, these are all guards that CP at one point or another man Mentor, you know, and and all those guys take another step. Chris Campaign was out of the league. Chris Paul actually saved campaign career, like, taught him how to be a pro, taught him how

to be a point guard. Like Chris Paul actually saved his career. And so now you take this level of talent six' six size and he get to learn From Chris. Paul scott's delimit for Steph Oncastle MAN i talked about the atmosphere In memphis is always. Wow what? Happened when did this? START i need the history to the beef With. Memphis anytime you beat the team in the, playoffs there's some. Beef and on the way to our first, championship they had Z, bo they Had Mark, gasaw they had ta

they Had Mike. Connley we beat them in the playoffs and we came back from down to the one to win for the two and move on to win the. Championship beef, started but it wasn't really serious then because they're you, know Them mark Ta, ebo them Are OG's, like so it ain't gonna be no real beef with, them but it's, like you, know it's kind of this thing. Brewing you, know it's, like, man they got, us like

it's a little hate streak coming from that fan. Base but it wasn't like that with those guys, because LIKE i, said They OG's, man and we got so much respect for them that it was never a. Thing then they started this younger. Group and when they started this younger, group they kind of start you, know talking a, lot

and we play them in the playoffs. Again you, know they talking about they're gonna beat, us and, rightfully, so like you, Know, john all those guys coming, in like they watched us growing up winning, championships and so they come in on that type of. TIME i get it. AGAIN i came in on that type of, time SO i rock with. It they came in to playoffs Some villains, time they was really on some. Upset they wanted to.

UPSET i think they were to Higher see that, year and you, know we went, in we took care of, business you, know and so that's kind of where it really took, off you. Know and then the one game they played with that, trick we dancing to. It they beating our, ass were still dancing with that, trick and so it's just kind of been things that elevated it

more and more as these years have gone. On that, BEEF i don't call it a real beef because at the end of the, day in order for it to be a real beef that it's going to require two teams to. Win we beat them in the, playoffs they beat. Us so until that, happens it's, like, yeah it's always gonna be, competitive there's always gonna be a little bad. Blood but nil in the. Playoffs it means nothing regular season beef that. Part y'all win. Playoffs that's just what it.

Is speaking Of, MEMPHIS i saw earlier a few days, Ago desmond bang shoves Santi All dambin's teammate off his feeding into the bit on the bench during the time.

Channel around the, league the biggest news around the league is the ongoing back and forth between Obviously Lebron james and STEPHEN. A. Smith Oh, man what's your take on it?

Lebron, Oh Kendrick perkins Versus ka be,

hard but everybody, beefing, bro everybody beefing for? What but it's crazy that why do all these people Own? Lebron? Right there's constant conversation About lebron on The pat McAfee. Show, uh, hey you know you must respect each, era, right that's the whole. Thing and they're saying you gotta respect each. Air we Know lebron is big. Media my question is you to you is what other era would you have enjoyed? Playing know what's crazy is people say you must respect each,

era but the past eras don't respect this. ERA i don't think that's. True, shit me don't see some of the things these guys. Say, MAN i THINK i think really at the at the baseline of it. All and here's my problem with the whole. Ecosystem we don't do a good enough job of telling everybody's story and so the errors don't really get the appreciation because the media and capeleate the eerr into like one, team two, teams three. Teams the storyline when you look At michael like and

here's the, thing you look At Michael. Jordan you look At Lebron. James there's so many dope players that played in the era Of Michael jordan that didn't win a. Championship there's a lot of dope players that you guys played against and have to go through through the playoffs that don't get. Mentioned only The warriors get, mentioned you, know and and and rightfully so champions get. Mentioned and SO i think the respect from the old is, really do the young dudes fuck with? Us do they know

who we? Are BECAUSE i think for our era it was more so how can we be thrownback in? Nostalgic and so that's why you get a lot of hate from the older generation because they just want to be kept alive because they, alive, right why shouldn't they story be a part of this whole melting. Pot and it's not just we talking about the same, shit or if we're comparing, players like let's see somebody, highlights let's see somebody's, Stats let's have them talk about the players that they played.

Against because one era always think that the other area is sorry until you leave the game and have an appreciation for the talent that you had to play against each and every. NIGHT i agree with what you're saying to a certain, extent BUT i disagree in the fact that, no like these these eras don't respect, us Like i've seen several guys talk over and over and over, again

not in the. Positive like just a month and a half, Ago Oscar robertson SAID i do nothing on the Basketball, YEAH i got a chance to put on the same jacket he put, on but he said, unprompted LIKE i didn't say anything About Oscar, ROBINSON i didn't say anything about players from his. GENERATION i actually said something about players from our. Generation and he then took it up

on himself to completely try to lessen who. As you don't have to like my, guy but to SAY i do nothing on the basketball, court like that's either disrespectful or, Dumb like it's one of the, Two like you're either being disrespectful or you're not, Smart so you, pick And i'm gonna say it's disrespect Because i'd like to believe he's. Smart and, so, YEAH i don't think that respect is passed down to us from the other. Generations BUT i think people are quick to, say, oh you gotta respect

them because they came. Before, NAH i don't agree with. THAT i disagree with. That here's another, thing, Though, bed you absolutely raised me that. Way absolutely respect the people who came before. You my respect is, earned and what you did to somebody else don't necessarily earn you respect. Me, No i'm not saying From i'm just, saying like you, know from a player, perspective a power forward Before Jmon?

Green was It Jymon green type of power? Forward? Right and even though you are a one of, one, like there is a claw or a shock or someone that you highly. Respect that's why we respect where we come from and how we got, there because if it wasn't it don't have to be all the dudes like BECAUSE i still be beefing with. PEOPLE i still don't like. PEOPLE i still think people are, sorry but that's my personal, right that's my personal. Opinion BUT i do have respect somewhat.

Exactly you just can't tell me everybody respect there are there are everybody don't deserve. Respect just because you played before, me you don't deserve. Respect there are a lot of people in the club and can't everybody dance, FACTS, bd just because you played before me does not mean you deserve. Respect i'm, sorry But god had in his plan for you to be born before, me and you just deserve respect because of. That nah my mom may raised me that.

Way respect is. Earned, obviously this conversation is stemming from bron saying That yannis will have two hundred and fifty points in the. Seventies but here's my, thing, THOUGH, Bd the PROBLEM i have with it is this everybody attacked the. Statement what's your attacked? To? STATEMENT i don't think that he. WAS i Think giannis would have like seventeen points in the. SEVENTIES i think you? Tripping all? Right CAN i tell you?

This CAN i give you this? Scenario? Yeah, sure a dude From, greece, right come, City United states in the seventies to play in THE nba where you don't make a lot of. Money times is. Hard you don't have a, Trainer you got, converts, right you got, converts and you may or may not have to have some type of side job because the league ain't really paying you enough to go back To greece and take care of your. Family, now who's gonna help you? Back? Then acclimate to The

United states and THE. Nba now take all those factors with the converts or whatever they was the. Flats, hey you're gonna start with. Converts that's that's my. Family you KNOW i Love. Converse, No, Bro i'm Rock. Converse i'm just SAYING i Brought, yeah of COURSE i Brought Chuck. Taylor's but What i'm saying is playing In Chuck. Taylor's that was the luxury? Shoot? Right could you Playing Chuck. Taylor's, NO i. CAN'T i can't play in a lot of shoes,

though so you can't plan. It so you can't plan in the, seventies, Bro all, right, now you can't turn him out now playing from the. Seventies right if he was In Sino man and he transported him now into THE, nba and he came out the ice with His Chuck taylor's on his, eyes shus, Eye, bro and he's six' nine forty five inn's vert can only dribble with his, right hand but, block everything, dunk everything and shoot. Bank, shots listen now he got. The trainer let me know what,

You're Doing. Charles, barkley, okay, Okay, goddamn chuck we talk about. Media members you see what you've done in this generation the? Media, members chuck he won't even let. Me, TALK shock i feel. Your pain man won't even let me get a. Word out you know why he won't let me get a word because in order in order for him to Go against bronze Claim that jannis what, average too the, fifty points he had to make it about it being no facetimes in, the seventies no good shoes in, the seventies

no good jobs in. The seventies he had to make it, about that as opposed to just making it, strictly basketball which is the statement that was. Being made the skills ain't Gonna translate my POINT that i was actually going to make. To you charms is that why do when people talk about basketball and bron say something like, he said people get all up in arms as if fifty five years of basketball play did. Not change the skill level did, not change the fitness level did, not change

the understanding of the game did. Not change the nuances did. Not change the offenses run did not change how the. Defenses run fifty. Five years within the last fifty, five years all of those things. Have changed, nobody, said hey if You, take giannis put him back in, the seventies but you have to not make him a Seventies basketball that wasn't. The point the point was if You Take, giannis antetokoumpo who he, is today and he played in, the seventies he'd have two hundred and. Fifty points and

so that's the PROBLEM that i Have is google got better. With, time Facebook my space. Went away facebook became this conglomerate because they Saw my. Space mistakes, it's like we're gonna, Add this we're gonna. Do that so everything gets better. With time but for, some reason for, some reason when we're, talking basketball it don't get better. With time and everything shouldn't be everything's equal to what it, was before and that's just not. The case and so you look at

where players. Are today it's no disrespect to players of, the seventies but everything has. Changed everything we don't play the same game of basketball that they played in. The seventies there was no three, point line there was no defensive. Three seconds we don't play the same game of basketball that. They played so now you take these skills set up today and put them in, That era, i'm sorry it's gonna be hard for them players in. The, seventies okay

let's TAKE a tv. Time out we got to answer these three questions that are going on in the media. Right Now It's paul george a First ballot Hall. Of Famer gilbert arenas says He. Is chandler parson says HE isn't i say one. Thousand Percent paul george got Like Nine all, Star appearances he GOT several. Nba appearances he has a gold medal somewhere close to twenty. Thousand points i'm sure if. Not more i'm not sure exactly how.

Many got but if you look at some of the people that are In the Hall, Of Fame paul george had better careers. Than Them paul george is absolutely a First ballot Hall of famer with the body of work that. He asked are there some things you don't Like About. Paul george. Of course you can say he. Didn't win you, can, say oh he was a. Little soft you can say whatever. You want you can say whatever you want. To say they may, be valid. Maybe not didn't win. This, valet

okay is? He Soft. That's european some people, will, say Yes. That's european don't. Really Matter paul george, resume says First valot Hall. Of fame if You Remove paul george's name from, his resume which then allows which then forces you to remove your Feelings About. Paul george and you put his resume there and remove, the feelings remove, the face remove. The name that's the First ballot Hall of fame resume eighteen thousand. Plus, points, hey man get him in the

first flowers? All right Number Two james harden or d Waye Urt. Patrick beverly He picks harden Over d way because. Of, LONGEVITY man i played against both, of them and really both of them in. Their PRIME like i Played. D way i came into, the league they was winning Championships, in miami but then, saying, That man james so, fucking, Good bro he's. So good The reason i'm going to Pick, D way i'm gonna Pick d way a he, won championships and he won championship AS, finals mvp carrying the

team in his. Third year i'm going To, pick yes he had, the diesel, of course and diesel change Every but i'm gonna Pick d way because of. That reason i'm gonna also Pick d WAY because i Think if harden stayed a, two guard his career isn't necessarily what it. Is today him changing over to the point guard. Changed, everything now don't get, me wrong he still would have Been An, all star he still would have been perennial

all of. Those THINGS but i mean the Dominance That james harden had as a, POINT guard i don't think he would have had that same dominance as a. Two guard AND so i think right now what's being compared is the Idea That james harden is a two because you're comparing the, d way but he not. A Two james harden's best years IN the nba and majority of his years he's a, point guard AND so i don't really love. THE comparison i think Early in james career

the comparison was there because he was the. Two ones he switched to the point he. Became one nobody, says it but he became one of the best point guards we've, ever seen and so INSANE that i just don't think the comparison. Is there and That's why i'm just gonna Pick d WADE because i didn't got to go with the body. OF Work, nba FINALS In, NBA finals mvp probably the same Amount Of all Stars, as james probably the same amount of all NBA's. As james obviously doesn't

Have what james won, two, MVPs, right yeah something. LIKE that, I mean i mean they measures, them, one two whatever he WANTED, the mvvp you Know what. I'm, SAYING so i just think it's not a. Good comparison one's a, point guard one of the better point guards we've. Ever seen one's one of the better two guards we've. Ever SEEN so i don't really understand. The comparison and That's why i'm gonna go With d WADE because i start picking on certain thing and the three championships gotta roll.

With That d wade started his career his rookie season as a point Guard for i'm, just saying uh for, one year, MAYBE two. I Believe, uh no he moved to the two his. Second Year james harden started at, the two moved to the. Point, guard okay the hardest thing to do is to go from a two to. A one and Then, D wade i. Would say over the course Of d, way's CAREER and i Understand what pat benv was saying. About Longevity d wade played, the two, the three and. The four so, he started as, you

know like one of the best swingmen ever in. The game he Wasn't. Really, no four but he played. The, four Yeah so thompson, HE played I Mean. Kevin durant but All These Gulay clay thompson has never been. A, four, no, no no, No no they've they've been lining ups where he's been. The Four clay thompson has never been. The Four clay thompson has. The four some are lineups and he's a what he's a? Shooting, guard okay but but it's A new nba played the four all, the time.

Thank you but he is A And d way it is to. Shooting guard, come on B d that's. That's terrible i'm just Saying what. I'm saying i'm Just saying i'm. Just Saying d wade has been on the court with a, point guard a, SHOOTING Guard, D way lebron He And. Donnas, Hassel, Correct yes lebron was. The Four d way was the? What three who is the two or? The two it's harder to go from a two to. A one i

can agree. With that this IS why i Go. With james and then on top, of that being a system is much harder because you are, the system so you're you're somewhere in between A d Waight. And lebron that is the only the only thing that's stopping you From being lebron or having that same type of cashe Alah derk nowinsky. Won one but we know how how tough that road in that. Journey was Is the warriors one of the most dominant teams and then being a history

AND so i look at a degree. Of difficulty who has to do it on their own right as, the system so you have to be all cylinders and everything rest on you as OPPOSED to i am one of, the, best complimentary, all, time greatest one of ones that could be in. That category, Two, RIGHT listen i Played Against james harden in the like peak of, his prime very. Meaningful Games Is. Dwight howard oh he, will be he. Should, Be okay so you just gonna act like he Ain't Had,

dwight howard who Was a Hall. Of famer you just say he did. By himself He Had. Dwight, HOWARD no i didn't say he did it. BY myself i said he did it as. The, system yeah but he still had great players to make that. System, work, yes, absolutely bro absolute fucking louly. He did but as the system it's harder on you being the focal point of the team and of. The offense not saying That d wade was not the focal point Of The. Miami heat but he was not the focal point Of The. Miami heat

That Was lebron JAMES in. Oh six. He, WASN'T yeah I was. Shaquille O'Neil. Stop it i'm A huge. Shack fan shaq, even said, hey man this is. His team shaq himself, said, this yeah because he. Was, killing okay so you can't say what's the? Focal point because he, was killing he, caught flame he. Was killing we didn't we didn't. See that nobody saw. That coming shaq was the one. The, attention listen, all, Right listen i'll ask. You this, the system, the system the System ran i'm asking.

This Question Andre IgA dollar was the M v p For The Golden. State warriors but who is this Sign? And dandy but you're not about to say Andre the Dollar And dwayne wade run in. The finals i'm not. That crazy i'm not. SAYING that i am saying there's more Pressure On steph curry to not. Getting apples the apples as opposed to that. Ain't apples you Know what. I'm Saying but i'm gonna ask you. This question i'm. Not comparing let me ask you. This question all, things, considered, money,

yeah accolades, you name all? Things considered are? You yourself if you left this earth and they came they you come back and, they said here's, this resume here's, this resume which one do you want? To be are You Picking james? Harden resume are You Picking dwayne? Way's resume any basketball player who wants to achieve greatness at the, highest level it's going to take the resume of. The champion but if you if you took away the resume and showed me, The style, Oh yeah, James, said hey

WHO do i? With STYLE what i like to import myself in AS an, nba player like for Me Personally? James harden, Of, COURSE james i don't question that. One BIT like i want to play. POINT guard i want to Rock Like, james harden, You KNOW like i LIKE how i like, HIS style i like. His freedom not saying THAT if i was a, shooting, Guard RIGHT if i was a, SHOOTING guard i Would Pick, dwayne, WADE right. I will i like. THAT mode i can dunk on people. Across people nobody can. Guard me, YOU know mvp, like

that that's going to be. Your mode but In This ja james Or, d wade it's like THE way i look, at it, resume, wise yes, fuck Yes d wade isn't like you. Don't lose there is. No, loss no there's. NO loss i, take both give me one. OF them i. Take both, like no That's what, I'm saying like there's.

No loss So like i'll just be throwing, up comparisons trying to figure out how tight of a comparison can we make to these players when you really can't compare them because their resumes, are different their games, are different their styles. Are different and, it's, like damn if somebody TOLD me i can Be, d wade you. DAMN skippy i want to Be. D wade if somebody TOLD me i Can Be, james harden you. DAMN skippy i want

To Be. James harden and, so, like man it's a. WIN win i agree, Last One cooper flag will be the best player to ever come Out. Of, DUKE no i. DISAGREE wholeheartedly. I Disagree dollin colehurst said they've got ninety guys IN. THE nba I Think cooper flag's going to be THE best nba. Player ever damn. Stop, playing no we don't need to talk.
