[00:05:16] Yo, I was like, yo, can we not killing white women? [00:05:20] Because that's how. [00:05:22] Talk about Jordan Peele. [00:05:23] Jordan Peele was talking about white people using, sorry, white people using black people's souls to stay young or whatever. [00:05:29] I think it's the other way around. [00:05:30] I mean, OJ got a shed a routine. [00:05:32] Sacrifice Nicole. [00:05:33] Shed a routine, baby. [00:05:34] We found it. [00:05:35] My God. [00:05:36] Kill white people. [00:05:37] Use their souls. [00:05:38] Whoa. [00:05:38] Bro. OJ sacrificed one of the few well-aging white women in our history. [00:05:43] Nicole had it. [00:05:45] She looked good. [00:05:46] Maybe Nicole was aging better than him, and he was like, I'm not going to do this. [00:05:48] No, we can't. [00:05:49] That's not going to be embarrassing. [00:05:50] Uh-uh. [00:05:51] Wow. [00:05:52] Maybe Cocoa Putter is just white girl skin. [00:05:54] Maybe that's what it is. [00:05:56] Cocoa butter is white woman's souls. [00:05:59] And now we found it out. [00:06:00] OJ look younger, bro. [00:06:02] So OJ really is the goat when you think about it. [00:06:04] Man, he got style. [00:06:05] He's the goat. [00:06:06] Man, these fucking unbuttoned half-sleeve shirts looking crispy. [00:06:09] Got the fucking just almondy skin, talking like a fucking 1950s radio commercial. [00:06:17] My man's still doing hearts commercials on Twitter. [00:06:21] You remember like in the 90s, like he was literally the pitch man for everything. [00:06:24] He was the most marketable athlete on the planet. [00:06:27] And then three tweets in his Twitter account, I'm like, I see exactly why. [00:06:31] Like I just like, I'm just like, yo, somebody's going to give him the bag. [00:06:34] Do something. [00:06:34] Have his kids disowned him? [00:06:36] Are they still? [00:06:36] No, one of his kids is a real estate agent. [00:06:38] Nobody disowned this man. [00:06:40] You can't disown OJ. [00:06:42] He'll slice your neck off. [00:06:43] That's true. [00:06:44] Allegedly. [00:06:44] Nicole Charles. [00:06:46] That's true. [00:06:46] That's true. [00:06:47] I'm saying allegedly. [00:06:48] I'm just curious. [00:06:49] That's my kid. [00:06:52] You know that your dad killed your mom, right? [00:06:55] But you still want your dad. [00:06:58] Like, in your life. [00:06:59] I mean. [00:07:00] Couldn't you forgive your dad for that? [00:07:03] Your dad kills your mom. [00:07:04] You lose both your parents. [00:07:05] That is true. [00:07:05] It's kind of fucked up. [00:07:06] But he got away with it. [00:07:07] Well, look, did you see the staircase? [00:07:11] Do you see that documentary, the staircase? [00:07:12] Nah, what's the staircase? [00:07:13] It's a staircase where some guy kills his wife or whatever like that. [00:07:16] And the kids kind of forgive. [00:07:18] They don't forgive him, but they're trying every single time. [00:07:20] He tried to. [00:07:21] You try. [00:07:21] No, no, not forgive. [00:07:23] You try to think of every reason why it wasn't him. [00:07:25] Clearly, he hit her over the head with this fucking thing from, what is it called? [00:07:29] Where you the fire? [00:07:31] Like you stoke the fire. [00:07:33] Oh, firepoke. [00:07:34] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:07:35] Clearly, hit over that. [00:07:36] His lawyer's making up things like an owl attacked her, and then she fell down the stairs. [00:07:40] And the kids are like, we have owls in the neighborhood. [00:07:43] It could have been the owls. [00:07:45] That's what these kids, that's what these kids will do. [00:07:50] Could you forgive your dad? [00:07:52] For killing my mom? [00:07:54] Yeah, not the other way around. [00:07:57] I thought. [00:07:57] Come on, kill your dad. [00:07:59] I thought about this the other day, bro. [00:08:01] Literally yesterday. [00:08:03] I thought I was like, if when my pops dies, if my mom, if my pops dies, if my mom tries to move on and get a new man to live the rest of her life. [00:08:14] You got a guilt tripper. [00:08:15] I don't know about it. [00:08:16] You got to give it that guilt. [00:08:17] I don't know about it. [00:08:18] That being said, if my mom went, hey, dad, you got to get some pussy with yourself. [00:08:24] What are you supposed to do? [00:08:24] Not to get some pussy out. [00:08:28] Son, I'm not going to do that. [00:08:28] You got to live, yo. [00:08:30] What are you going to do? [00:08:31] You're going to have these old-ass full sack balls, Blue Chew out here, everything you could possibly do to live your life to the fullest. [00:08:38] Listen, all you got to do is listen to the podcast, get some Bluetooth, get some full sack. [00:08:41] We'll be right back in the swing of things, man. [00:08:43] It's beautiful. [00:08:44] I was like, Father's Day, I was so selfish, bro. [00:08:47] My dad was, my dad, you know, I don't get to hang that much with just me and my daddy's at the house. [00:08:52] My dad's memory is gone. [00:08:54] So he's, you know, at the house, but it was just him at the house, you know. [00:08:57] And so it was me and him. [00:08:58] And I was like, all right, Pops, I got a roll, you know. [00:09:01] And he goes, you want me to walk you home? [00:09:02] Right. [00:09:03] And I was like, I absolutely want you to walk me. [00:09:06] Me and my dad take a nice walk. [00:09:07] But then part of me is thinking, how the fuck are you going to get back? [00:09:11] Look how selfish I was, bro. [00:09:14] I was like, you good to get back? [00:09:15] And he was like, yeah, I got that. [00:09:16] I was like, what? [00:09:18] That's what I'm going to do and spent time about that. [00:09:20] You should have walked in and back. [00:09:22] Nah, bro. [00:09:22] I walked to the 14th. [00:09:24] I should call him now and make sure he got back. [00:09:26] If you walk him back home, we call him out of grips. [00:09:28] If you walk him back home, he'll forget that you walked him there. [00:09:32] I'm walking him. [00:09:33] Exactly. [00:09:34] Ain't I walking you up here like you, dad? [00:09:36] It's your memory. [00:09:36] I gotta walk you back to your grip. [00:09:38] So he walked me the 14th. [00:09:40] It was a great walk, man. [00:09:41] I was talking to him, you know, just talking about life. [00:09:44] What's the hardest thing about fatherhood? [00:09:46] And just asking these cool questions. [00:09:47] And then that might have been the last time we hung out. [00:09:49] But, you know, hopefully he's all right. [00:09:53] Let's find out right now. [00:09:54] I'm calling on the pod. [00:09:57] All right. [00:09:57] We're going to make sure my dad make it back. [00:09:59] Make sure he's good. [00:10:00] My mom let him get back from the beach house by himself. [00:10:02] Wow. [00:10:03] Jesus. [00:10:03] Beach house he invites me to every time he sees me. [00:10:05] Oh, he invites everybody to the beach house, bro. [00:10:08] Hold on, listen. [00:10:09] That was me.

[00:10:50] I went to my girl's parents', my girl's brother's house. [00:10:54] And, you know, they do this big thing with all the dads in the family. [00:10:57] And, you know, they got like a ton of kids running around. [00:11:00] And I'm like the first, like, I'm like the new guy in the family.

[00:11:16] Yeah, they're all just like, you know, get the old shit every time. [00:11:18] Talk about daddy happy.

[00:11:45] And dude was kind of brolic. [00:11:47] Dude, no, he would have whooped my ass. [00:11:48] But at the same time, when I recovered, I busted his sister again. [00:11:52] What are you really going to do? [00:11:53] I win. [00:11:54] Who's going to nurse you back to health? [00:11:55] Not you. [00:11:56] Probably your sister. [00:11:58] So it's a lose-lose either way. [00:12:00] It's a lose-lose either way. [00:12:03] But now it was cool, man. [00:12:04] It was cool, man. [00:12:05] Like, they had a big cookout and shit.

[00:13:24] If you think Larry Schultz wasn't getting his dick sucked, you got another thing coming. [00:13:29] You know what I mean? [00:13:30] Y'all ever walked into your parents? [00:13:31] Say what? [00:13:32] Y'all ever walked in on your parents? [00:13:33] Hell no. [00:13:33] Nah, but I would hear them. [00:13:35] I hear my parents fuck all the time. [00:13:37] Oh, my God.

[00:14:08] My brother would always try to knock on the door like he didn't know what the fuck they were doing. [00:14:11] My brother would knock on the door with concern. [00:14:13] He'd be like, Are you okay, mom? [00:14:15] No, she's not. [00:14:17] She's getting that hammer. [00:14:20] Okay, El Schultz bringing it down. [00:14:24] Ragnarok.

[00:14:34] I remember I was at Andrew's place when we first started getting cool. [00:14:37] You live with your folks, and then it's like two in the morning. [00:14:40] We're just working on a script without him or whatever. [00:14:42] But then his dad just walks out with his shirt. [00:14:44] Oh, hell yeah. [00:14:44] No draws. [00:14:46] Just dick hanging out. [00:14:48] Like Winnie the Pooh. [00:14:49] Real tall. [00:14:51] Winnie the Pooh with a big ass dick. [00:14:55] Big dick energy. [00:14:56] Larry Schultz. [00:14:58] Big dick energy. [00:15:00] And then he saw me and he was like, oh, and he kind of tried to cover it up. [00:15:04] He didn't really give a fuck. [00:15:06] He was like, you in my house, man. [00:15:08] You know what's dope, though, is like when you walk in with just the shirt on, he had that white tee. [00:15:12] You always sleep in a white tee, no draws, because he might have to fuck. [00:15:16] You're like, fuck in the middle of the night, right? [00:15:20] So white tee, no draws, right? [00:15:22] Walk out the room, go to the bathroom, we're chilling there, dick out, right? [00:15:26] Sometimes, if he was really tired, he'd just wave. [00:15:28] He wouldn't acknowledge it at all. [00:15:31] Other times, what he would do is he was like, wave, you lift the shirt. [00:15:34] Yeah, you lift it even up. [00:15:35] He goes, oh, oh. [00:15:36] And then he'd take the shirt and he'd pull it down over his dick, and that would just expose his ass even more. [00:15:41] So he just walked by and it was just cheeks flapping. [00:15:45] It's always a strange day the first time you see your father's dick. [00:15:48] It was depressing. [00:15:50] It's a strange day. [00:15:51] Like, you look at it and you're like, Your dad got a bigger dick than that. [00:15:54] At that point, yes, he had a way bigger dick. [00:15:56] He got smaller over the generation. [00:15:59] Like, real talk, real talk. [00:16:02] My dad got a bigger dick than me. [00:16:03] My dad's dick, fat and shit. [00:16:06] Yo, my dad's dick is crazy. [00:16:09] Bro, his dick was nuts. [00:16:11] Yeah, it's crazy. [00:16:12] I haven't seen my dad's dick. [00:16:14] I've seen your dad's dick. [00:16:18] And anyway, so many wrong things about this. [00:16:20] That shit ain't even a ratner rock. [00:16:22] That's the Hulk in Rattner Rock. [00:16:23] Real chick constantly coming and breaking shit. [00:16:27] Shit is nuts, bro. [00:16:29] All I'm saying is if your dick was that big, you wouldn't wear underwear either. [00:16:32] Dude, that's discomfort. [00:16:33] That's that constricting. [00:16:34] Bro. [00:16:36] Shit was crazy, dude. [00:16:37] Oh, man. [00:16:38] I was waiting to grow into that shit. [00:16:40] Like, what's up? [00:16:41] Dad, dude. [00:16:41] I'm 35. [00:16:42] What's my dick gonna be like you, dad? [00:16:46] Did you ask him that and you walk home? [00:16:47] Yeah. [00:16:48] I was like, what's the hardest part about being a dad? [00:16:50] He was like, seeing your son's dick not growing like to your side. [00:16:54] Being disappointed at your son's dick. [00:16:57] I'm telling you, it's all the preservatives and shit we're eating. [00:17:00] I'm telling you. [00:17:00] I was eating fruit snacks my whole life. [00:17:02] My dad didn't have fruit snacks in 77. [00:17:04] He grew up on fucking apples and shit. [00:17:06] Whatever. [00:17:07] Actual food. [00:17:08] Actual food. [00:17:09] My dad served in the war, though. [00:17:11] He deserves that big ass. [00:17:12] Son, they kept him here. [00:17:13] She probably deserved that dick. [00:17:15] He was in the army. [00:17:16] They would have let him go to Vietnam. [00:17:17] It would have scared them little Asians' dicks. [00:17:19] That's how we could have ended the war. [00:17:20] My dad walked up in his night outfit. [00:17:22] That shelf. [00:17:23] He's like, he just walked right up. [00:17:25] Viet Cong. [00:17:27] You ain't got shit for me. [00:17:30] Hero Shultzy. [00:17:33] Just walking through the fucking Vietnam fire with the dick like Thor's hammer, just swinging that shit like that. [00:17:38] Yo, walking through them jungles, bro. [00:17:41] I am worthy. [00:17:43] Imagine him walking through them jungles, no machete, just dick chopping through weeds. [00:17:47] Son. [00:17:48] Well, we didn't lose that war, though. [00:17:49] You not Captain Hammond. === Curb Your Scooter Enthusiasm (05:11) === [00:17:50] You're right. [00:17:51] We should have sent them out there. [00:17:52] Shouldn't have sent them out there. [00:17:53] You're not Captain America, dog. [00:17:55] You're not worthy. [00:17:56] I'm not worthy of it. [00:17:57] I'm not worthy of the hammer. [00:17:59] It's like fucking Asia Ultron. [00:18:01] He tried to lift the hammer. [00:18:02] It's like, ah. [00:18:03] Dude. [00:18:05] Real talk. [00:18:06] I need to ask my mom how she took all that, bro. [00:18:08] Oh, my God. [00:18:09] Bro. [00:18:10] Ask her on Mother's Day. [00:18:13] Yo, what is that? [00:18:14] That's her gift. [00:18:15] I won't fuck you today. [00:18:17] She's like, thank God. [00:18:19] Jesus. [00:18:20] I got shit to do today. [00:18:22] I always used to worry about my mom because I was 10 pounds and I was born as a big ass baby. [00:18:26] I was like, how the fuck you pushed me out? [00:18:28] Now you know. [00:18:28] Same. [00:18:29] We got it. [00:18:30] She's like, right work. [00:18:32] Right work. [00:18:33] You're shot out of there. [00:18:34] I'm sound like Superman. [00:18:37] Doctor just caught you like that episode of Martin. [00:18:40] You don't need no milk and wood. [00:18:42] This is TV. [00:18:45] God damn it. [00:18:46] Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:18:48] All right. [00:18:48] All right. [00:18:48] How do we get into this? [00:18:49] OJ. [00:18:50] Oh, yeah. [00:18:52] So OJ's on Twitter. [00:18:53] OJ's the greatest. [00:18:54] He's without hyperbole. [00:18:56] And you could cosine me on this new guy who's not Alex. [00:19:00] Oh, my bad. [00:19:00] Y'all don't know each other? [00:19:01] Chris. [00:19:02] No, we know. [00:19:02] I'm just. [00:19:03] I'm saying for the people watching. [00:19:05] Yo, Alex is on vacation already fucked up. [00:19:08] I need to call out Alex. [00:19:09] Is his ankle fucked up? [00:19:10] Oh, no. [00:19:11] He did get injured. [00:19:12] God damn. [00:19:12] Yo, such a funny fashion video. [00:19:16] I really want one. [00:19:17] Let me tell you how fucking wash we are. [00:19:20] We are in, I forget the city, Indianapolis. [00:19:23] Now, whenever we go to these cities, they have these scooters that like the city provides or like these companies provide. [00:19:28] And you could just, you could just take them. [00:19:31] City bike for scooters. [00:19:32] But it's even better because you could litter. [00:19:34] You don't have to put them anyway. [00:19:35] You could just drop them off. [00:19:36] City bike. [00:19:36] You got to find the docking, right? [00:19:38] So these you put wherever the fuck you want. [00:19:41] So we always scooter around. [00:19:42] And I knew it was going to happen. [00:19:43] We were going to eventually have an accident with the scooter. [00:19:49] It's after the Friday show. [00:19:50] We're feeling pretty good, a little drunk. [00:19:52] We're scootering back to the crib. [00:19:53] We're right in front of the crib, and we're just scooting around in circles trying to figure out what we're going to do. [00:19:57] Are we going to go out more or we can get some food, whatever? [00:19:59] Alex sees a curb. [00:20:00] Oh, Jesus. [00:20:02] Right? [00:20:02] And I see him go for it and then turn. [00:20:06] Right? [00:20:07] And then come again and then go for it. [00:20:09] I'm like, oh, is he going to try to jump the curb? [00:20:11] He jumps it. [00:20:13] It's this fucking idiot. [00:20:16] The front wheel hits the curb. [00:20:18] Oh, shit. [00:20:18] Right? [00:20:19] He kind of bounces over and he keeps his hand on the acceleration. [00:20:24] Oh, God. [00:20:25] But his feet on the ground. [00:20:26] So the acceleration. [00:20:28] No, so he starts to spin around a circle, drops, hits the ground. [00:20:33] The only damn thing about it is the sneakers because he had them Travis Scott ones. [00:20:36] Oh, damn. [00:20:37] That's rough. [00:20:37] Yeah, bad. [00:20:39] He is fucked up. [00:20:40] The ankles all swollen quickly. [00:20:41] He's like going in a circle like Homer Simpson on a motorcycle. [00:20:44] Yes, and now he's walking like Maggie or whatever. [00:20:46] What's the baby? [00:20:47] I have Maggie as the baby. [00:20:48] Maggie, right? [00:20:48] He was on his knees crawling the next day, like bad. [00:20:52] Wow. [00:20:53] Like could not move. [00:20:54] Pumped him up full of talent on shit. [00:20:56] Show must go on. [00:20:57] Show must go on. [00:20:59] That night, though, after Alex fell, I was like, I have to prove Alex, he's already at his lowest point, right? [00:21:08] So I have to make him go underneath the ground by showing him I could jump onto the curb. [00:21:13] Oh, my God, of course. [00:21:14] Okay. [00:21:16] The first time I try to jump on a curb, I go right over the handlebars, bro. [00:21:21] I go, dude, I don't even think I jumped. [00:21:23] I think I was so concentrated on something else. [00:21:25] I just ran right into the curb. [00:21:27] I front-flipped over the handlebars. [00:21:30] Okay. [00:21:31] Somehow, all I got was a scratch on my hand. [00:21:34] White privilege. [00:21:35] I guess so, bro. [00:21:36] I guess so, bro. [00:21:38] It was unfucking. [00:21:40] It was unfucking real. [00:21:41] So we both bust our goddamn ass and then somehow Market managed to do it. [00:21:45] I guess what I'm saying is we're too old. [00:21:46] This 30, 35. [00:21:47] I don't know why you're going around. [00:21:48] No more, yo. [00:21:49] No kid shit. [00:21:50] Nah. [00:21:51] The scooter at 35 is literally, it's. [00:21:53] You're asking for awful things to happen. [00:21:55] Goofy ass thing security guards have sometimes that fucking thing you're doing. [00:21:58] Segue. [00:21:58] Segue. [00:21:59] It's a segue for this. [00:22:00] That's all it is. [00:22:00] Point A to point B. Point A to point B. [00:22:02] Well, fuck it. [00:22:02] It's not a razor. [00:22:03] It is a segue. [00:22:04] No, you're right. [00:22:05] And we, we were. [00:22:06] Didn't y'all ride a scooter together too? [00:22:08] Fuck up, baby. [00:22:09] God damn, man. [00:22:10] Fuck, bro. [00:22:12] Yo, calm that shit down over there, bro. [00:22:15] God damn. [00:22:16] You were not there yet. [00:22:17] You were not there yet. [00:22:18] God damn. [00:22:19] So anyway, like I was saying, Chris. [00:22:21] Would you like to contribute to the conversation at all, Chris? [00:22:25] Honestly, that shit made for some great content, though. [00:22:27] Yeah, I watched it. [00:22:29] I was intrigued. [00:22:30] Then I saw the fashion video. [00:22:31] I was like, goddamn, I really want one. [00:22:33] I'm not going to lie. [00:22:34] We killed that fat bitch. [00:22:37] So I got to give Al credit because we're pushing him around the airport in the wheelchair, which is the only way to be at the airport, by the way. [00:22:43] We're going to milk this injury. [00:22:45] I said, Al, as long as you feel any bit of pain, like, please, we're using a wheelchair because it's right away. [00:22:51] We're already TSA pre-checked. [00:22:52] We're already clear. [00:22:53] Now we're chopping all the lines up. [00:22:55] I'm pushing him around and he is a cane, right? [00:22:59] And I don't know why he thought of this, but he started like rubbing the cane on the ground. === OJ Simpson and Pain (07:02) === [00:23:02] He goes, oh, yeah, it's like that white people sport. [00:23:04] I go, what are you talking about? [00:23:06] He's like, you know, the one where they did clean the ice. [00:23:08] And I was like, oh, shit. [00:23:10] That's it. [00:23:11] We got a fashion. [00:23:13] And when I tell you, we did about five takes of that. [00:23:15] When I tell you we left two pieces of luggage in the middle of the airport and we were like 50 feet away from it. [00:23:21] Yeah, I can't do it. [00:23:22] And we had TSA and different airport employees walking up like, is this anybody's luggage? [00:23:27] Is this anybody's luggage? [00:23:29] Like, we had people ready to like shut down the airport because you can't leave luggage around it. [00:23:33] You can't just leave a bag, right? [00:23:36] Man, we pulled that shit off. [00:23:40] Look good. [00:23:41] Can't stop. [00:23:42] Don't say that. [00:23:42] Content doesn't stop, bro. [00:23:44] Can't stop, bro. [00:23:44] Can't stop, won't stop. [00:23:46] Like I was saying, man, I was going to ask Alex when he got here, but since you're here, Chris, is O.J. Simpson the wildest nigga to ever live? [00:23:53] OJ is definitely a legend. [00:23:55] He's the wildest nigga to ever live to live ever. [00:23:58] Like, his life makes no sense to me. [00:24:02] You killed a white woman. [00:24:03] And a Jew. [00:24:04] And a Jew. [00:24:06] We all know who you are. [00:24:07] You're not just like a random black dude. [00:24:09] Like, we all know who you are. [00:24:11] You blew. [00:24:13] Like, you were like the fucking LeBron of your time. [00:24:16] I'm talking about like you're on like the Tiger Woods of your time. [00:24:19] The most marketable athlete on earth. [00:24:21] You killed a white woman. [00:24:22] Yeah. [00:24:23] Allegedly. [00:24:24] Got away with it. [00:24:27] And usually you just kind of lay low and count your blessings like, damn, all right, I'm glad to have my freedom. [00:24:32] No, this motherfucker goes back to jail for stealing his own merchandise. [00:24:38] Does his time, comes back. [00:24:40] You would think he would chill after that. [00:24:42] No. [00:24:42] He puts out a book called If I Did It. [00:24:45] And the if is like this little. [00:24:49] And then he starts a Twitter account where basically he's saying, I want all y'all motherfuckers to keep that same energy. [00:24:54] Hey, I was talking that shit. [00:24:56] Is there a more terrifying sentence in social media history than OJ? [00:25:00] I got a little getting even to do. [00:25:03] We've seen how OJ settles scores. [00:25:07] This shit ain't a little getting even to do. [00:25:10] Has anybody even talked shit to him since he's been on? [00:25:13] We've all talked shit about OJ at one point. [00:25:15] No, since he's been on. [00:25:16] Oh, no. [00:25:17] Since he's been on Twitter, I'm sure. [00:25:18] I don't think anybody's got the balls to. [00:25:20] Nah, I'm sure. [00:25:21] Like, you know, he could get away with it. [00:25:23] You know what he's allegedly capable of. [00:25:25] How long did he do because of the stealing the merchandise? [00:25:29] Like upwards of a decade, I think. [00:25:30] Yeah, it was close to it. [00:25:32] When I first moved to New York, it was 08, and then he was on trial, and I think he got sentenced 08, 09. [00:25:36] And he got out like a year or two ago. [00:25:38] So like eight, nine years. [00:25:40] Wow. [00:25:41] The best thing about like OJ's Twitter is like literally every tweet is like riveting. [00:25:46] Like I would watch him like do the most simple shit. [00:25:49] I'm disturbed by it. [00:25:49] I'm terrified. [00:25:50] I'd be terrified by it. [00:25:52] This shit's cool. [00:25:53] This motherfucker disturbs me. [00:25:54] Yo, he's literally doing all black uncle shit. [00:25:58] Like if he's just sitting there in the fucking, in his old school fucking college shirt, like watering the grass, I would be sitting there like, this is terrifying. [00:26:06] Yo, you know what? [00:26:07] It's not, but it is. [00:26:08] This just goes to show you that like we don't believe rappers because all these rappers have been talking about killing people forever. [00:26:16] I mean, some rappers follow them. [00:26:18] Yeah, but we follow them and we don't give a fuck. [00:26:20] It means nothing. [00:26:21] Gucci Mane definitely killed a guy. [00:26:22] Yeah, but like in some self-defense, like he wasn't like... [00:26:25] Killed the guy, though. [00:26:27] Got it on his record. [00:26:28] Fam, it's mad easy to kill someone's self-defense. [00:26:30] Me or you? [00:26:32] Me or you. [00:26:33] Come on, yo. [00:26:34] But then he talks shit about it on records. [00:26:37] Well, someone tried to kill me. [00:26:38] I'll talk some shit. [00:26:39] You try to kill me. [00:26:40] I killed you. [00:26:40] What I'm saying, OJ did it off of like, you fucked my girl. [00:26:44] It was rage. [00:26:45] Yeah. [00:26:45] It's rage killing. [00:26:46] It's like when you stab someone, that's what I'm saying. [00:26:48] You fucked my ex, who I beat to death almost. [00:26:51] How dare you? [00:26:52] Bro. [00:26:53] All I'm saying is, it's like we've been following rappers forever and letting them talk all this shit about killing. [00:26:59] And it just proves that we don't believe him because now that OJ's out there and we know that he killed somebody, or we at least feel he kills him, now we're having this conversation. [00:27:07] Like, it's so scary to see someone else. [00:27:09] Yeah, it's only fun for me if I think a rapper's lying. [00:27:12] That's my point. [00:27:12] My point is, is we know rappers lie. [00:27:15] Yeah. [00:27:16] And that's why. [00:27:16] But that's always the test. [00:27:17] That's why 6ix9ine is fine. [00:27:19] Like, all of us are like, I can't believe 6ix9ine is saying all this shit, but he's not really living it. [00:27:24] We don't believe any of them living. [00:27:25] The second OJ's back is headlines. [00:27:27] This guy only killed two people. [00:27:28] That's nothing. [00:27:29] Only two. [00:27:30] How many people? [00:27:31] What do you talk about killing? [00:27:34] You know how wild you got to be. [00:27:35] How many people you talk about killing? [00:27:37] 30, 40. [00:27:38] I'm pretty sure he definitely got somebody. [00:27:41] At least one. [00:27:42] I'm not saying he did it. [00:27:43] I'm not saying he's. [00:27:44] Who are you more scared of in the street, Chief Keith or OJ? [00:27:46] Chief Keith, by far. [00:27:47] In a small space. [00:27:49] Nah, no. [00:27:49] First off, OJ's like seven. [00:27:51] What about OJ? [00:27:51] Like you said, like, you can be. [00:27:53] That's why I said small space. [00:27:54] So it's like, all right, so OJ's in his room right now. [00:27:56] He's standing at the door. [00:27:58] I can't get out the door without OJ getting through OJ. [00:28:01] I'm running through that motherfucker, bro. [00:28:03] That's what he's fucking the Nicole's boo. [00:28:06] It's 30 years ago. [00:28:07] He's way past his prime. [00:28:08] He ain't got no. [00:28:08] He ain't got that. [00:28:09] Pass the prime man. [00:28:10] He ain't got that acceleration. [00:28:11] He's 71. [00:28:12] 71 years old? [00:28:13] Cat's big. [00:28:14] I can't get past no 71-year-old OJ. [00:28:16] I could outrun that motherfucker for cracking right in his Achilles. [00:28:19] Like, such an old black ass. [00:28:22] That's fair. [00:28:23] I do believe you could get by him. [00:28:24] 71 years old. [00:28:25] What would make you more nervous, right? [00:28:27] You have right now. [00:28:28] Chief Keith makes me infinitely more nervous. [00:28:30] Chief Keith. [00:28:31] Yeah. [00:28:31] Right? [00:28:32] OJ Thanos. [00:28:33] Or OJ. [00:28:34] Chief Keith, that Thanos underling that shot the glass at motherfuckers. [00:28:38] Which one? [00:28:39] OJ Thanos out this bitch. [00:28:40] The thing is, though. [00:28:41] OJ put his hand on your shoulder. [00:28:42] You don't feel nervous? [00:28:43] No, but that's it. [00:28:44] I don't at all. [00:28:45] Because like you said, it was a rage killing. [00:28:47] Like, I wouldn't piss off OJ like that. [00:28:49] A nigga with guns? [00:28:51] Like, what if he thought? [00:28:52] That's very easy to shoot somebody. [00:28:54] What if he thought? [00:28:55] What if he thought you pissed him off? [00:28:58] OJ can't see me with the hands. [00:29:01] You're crazy. [00:29:02] Oh, he's 70 years old. [00:29:03] He got nothing to lose. [00:29:04] He's 70 years old. [00:29:06] I don't lose it. [00:29:06] I don't disagree. [00:29:07] But I can't. [00:29:08] I've got his whole life. [00:29:10] Yes. [00:29:10] I'm infinitely more nervous about this motherfucker. [00:29:13] 71 year old or Chief Keith? [00:29:14] Chief Keith. [00:29:15] Absolutely. [00:29:15] Hold on a second. [00:29:16] Hold on one second. [00:29:16] So you have 71-year-old OJ who has no problem doing jail. [00:29:20] I've seen Chief Keith in videos with bazookas. [00:29:23] I don't give a fuck. [00:29:24] You gotta baza. [00:29:25] Let me ask you. [00:29:26] You ain't shooting me with a bazaar. [00:29:27] What was the last time you heard of someone getting killed with a bazooka? [00:29:30] I'm just saying he has access to things that could kill me very easily. [00:29:34] Nobody ever been killed with a bazooka, I think, in life. [00:29:36] Except in like Iraq and shit. [00:29:38] Ain't nobody died from that. [00:29:39] Yeah, they shoot up your house or something. [00:29:41] If you want to kill one person, you don't have to. [00:29:43] When did firefight start? [00:29:45] Well, you said, listen, first of all, you said Iraq, not Chirac. [00:29:47] All right. [00:29:48] So fucking chill. [00:29:49] This ain't the Middle East. [00:29:51] I mean, I'm saying 71-year-old OJ would have a gun, and clearly he already do on time. [00:29:56] He's done it. [00:29:57] He almost did it once, and then I was like, you know what? [00:29:59] Fuck it, let's just go. [00:30:00] There isn't a rapper on this fucking earth that makes me more afraid than OJ. === Luck, Sprains, and Dunking (10:16) === [00:30:05] None of them. [00:30:06] Because they all want to be rappers. [00:30:07] Well, you're also white. [00:30:09] Yeah, he kills whites. [00:30:11] I get that. [00:30:11] Okay. [00:30:12] I can see why you do not. [00:30:13] OJ kills whites. [00:30:14] And Jews. [00:30:15] And you and Nick Schultz's both. [00:30:17] Yeah. [00:30:18] I'm the prime target. [00:30:20] Okay. [00:30:21] I look like I fucked his wife. [00:30:23] Yes. [00:30:25] He's been dying. [00:30:26] He's been years building up. [00:30:28] It's fucking Candyman or whatever that guy is. [00:30:31] God damn. [00:30:31] Real talk, man. [00:30:32] You got to be worried. [00:30:33] There's got to be some sort of broken. [00:30:34] Chief Keith kills blacks. [00:30:35] You should be more nervous about Keith. [00:30:37] Allegedly. [00:30:37] He is more nervous about Keith. [00:30:38] Oh, there's a lot of people. [00:30:39] That's what I'm saying. [00:30:40] That's what I'm saying. [00:30:41] I'm telling you. [00:30:42] This is exactly why. [00:30:43] You made my point for me. [00:30:46] Let's hit the Raptors. [00:30:47] Yeah. [00:30:47] All right. [00:30:48] Fuck it. [00:30:48] Let's do it. [00:30:48] New NBA champions who I called a year ago at this time. [00:30:51] You did. [00:30:52] Give me my goddamn credit. [00:30:53] I also said Golden State wouldn't win it all. [00:30:55] You did. [00:30:56] The Asterisk dynasty has come to an end, guys. [00:30:58] I mean, you did get kind of lucky with a couple injuries, but you did call it. [00:31:01] That's how they won all their championships, is getting lucky with major injuries. [00:31:05] They are the Asterisk dynasty, and it came to an end. [00:31:07] On Asterisk and Asterisk winners then? [00:31:09] Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:31:10] Yeah, I'd give him that. [00:31:11] So it's every team that wins when they're not, when the other team is not at full potential in Asterix. [00:31:17] I think if it's... [00:31:18] I don't want to shit on you. [00:31:19] No, I hear your point. [00:31:20] Here's where I would find the new ones. [00:31:22] Every team. [00:31:22] I remember LeBron after Ray Allen, and I love the self-awareness. [00:31:25] After Ray Allen hit that three and then they won the championship. [00:31:28] They asked LeBron, what was going through your mind as you missed that shot, blah, blah, blah. [00:31:32] And you think he would be like, you know, I always had belief, blah, blah, blah. [00:31:34] And he goes, let me tell you something, man. [00:31:36] You need a little bit of luck to win a championship. [00:31:38] And I believe that. [00:31:39] You need a little bit of luck. [00:31:40] I think the other team's best or second and third best players getting hurt every time you win a championship is more than a little bit of luck. [00:31:46] Yeah, I can see that. [00:31:47] Anytime you face adversity, their best players go down. [00:31:51] That's more than a little bit of luck. [00:31:52] Andre Godala getting hurt, or like if Fred Van Fleet got hurt, that's a little bit of luck. [00:31:58] They didn't beat the Cavs with full they beat the Cavs with full strength once, but the series before that, they also went underneath Kawhi's ankle, who Kawhi's we've seen is a one-man wrecking crew. [00:32:07] Yeah, but now you're doing different. [00:32:09] They beat the best. [00:32:10] Oh, no, not always in finals. [00:32:11] Yeah, they've beaten the best Cavs with Kevin Durant. [00:32:13] But the series before that, they were getting washed by Kawhi. [00:32:16] Right. [00:32:16] And then dirtiest play I've seen in the playoffs. [00:32:19] Right. [00:32:20] Slide underneath his foot, take him out, and then you win. [00:32:22] Right. [00:32:22] And then you slip. [00:32:23] But they've also come back from 3-1. [00:32:25] They did come back to 3-1. [00:32:27] So it's, I think that you make a good point about the Asterix with certain situations, but they have already come back from 3-1 against a very good team. [00:32:36] It's more of a keep that same energy shot at anybody who's like, oh, if Draymond doesn't get suspended for one game, we win, we three people. [00:32:44] It's more of me saying, you know what, keep that same energy and acknowledge that you are the luckiest team I've seen with injuries dynasty-wise. [00:32:51] Right. [00:32:52] And that's fine. [00:32:53] You play who's in front of you, but you are also the luckiest team I've seen. [00:32:56] Right. [00:32:57] I wouldn't go so I disagree. [00:32:59] I think that they're just the most talented team I've ever seen assembled. [00:33:03] No, I get it, but I just can't. [00:33:04] If somebody can find me a dynasty that got this lucky with injuries, cool. [00:33:07] I'll back off. [00:33:08] But I just want to play with you. [00:33:08] Meaning like the teams that they played. [00:33:10] Yes, the teams that you played constantly losing their best players. [00:33:12] Are Houston, is Houston? [00:33:13] Houston, Chris Paul, you're down 3-2. [00:33:15] Is Houston, the old Rockets with Elajuan? [00:33:17] Are they an Asterisk? [00:33:18] That's something you bring up. [00:33:19] Yeah. [00:33:20] There's no energy. [00:33:20] You don't have to go against Jordan. [00:33:22] Right. [00:33:22] But that's... [00:33:23] It's like, does that take away the ring? [00:33:25] I don't know. [00:33:25] Part of it. [00:33:26] It doesn't take away. [00:33:26] It's part of the game. [00:33:27] It's part of life. [00:33:29] Injuries are part of the game. [00:33:30] You're the one who always has the best ability is availability. [00:33:33] And if you're not healthy enough to go when it's go time, then... [00:33:36] Do you keep the same energy with football? [00:33:39] Football, I don't think there are any asterisks because there's just always massive injuries. [00:33:44] So basketball, you're saying there's less injury, so you can apply the asterisks. [00:33:48] So to me, and again, it's more of a keep that same energy thing when you bitch about Draymond or this series. [00:33:53] I tell, yeah, for me, I'm like, shut the fuck up. [00:33:56] That's basketball. [00:33:57] That's the energy I'm keeping. [00:33:58] Injuries are part of basketball. [00:33:59] And making it through a whole season, one of the difficulties is health. [00:34:04] So if you ask me, like in like a lone one-on-one, am I ever actually going to be like, the Warriors shouldn't have any championship? [00:34:09] No, they're fucking good. [00:34:11] But when Warriors fans are like, man, if Draymond doesn't, or whatever, then it's like, all right. [00:34:15] And I can say, I'm not going to put an asterisk by it. [00:34:17] I'm saying that mockingly, but like you are, you just happen to be the luckiest team I've seen with injuries in terms of getting. [00:34:24] That's fine. [00:34:24] You're champs. [00:34:25] You win it. [00:34:26] I don't actually, I wouldn't actually put an asterisk by anybody's championship. [00:34:29] You win, and that's all history is going to remember. [00:34:31] But like, if you're going to complain about luck, you are the luckiest team I've seen with injuries. [00:34:35] I mean, you could also make the argument, though, that even at full strength, those guys aren't touching a full-strength Warriors team. [00:34:41] Who? [00:34:41] The Raptors? [00:34:42] Any team. [00:34:42] Like, any of these teams that they went up against, like, them at full strength. [00:34:45] I still don't think they were better than any of those Warriors teams, except maybe, maybe the first Cavs Warriors team that didn't have Kyrie and Kevin Lee. [00:34:53] No, that team would have won. [00:34:53] Like, I think Cleveland would at least get to six or seven and maybe. [00:34:56] Took it to six without them. [00:34:58] They would have won. [00:34:58] Boom, exactly. [00:34:59] No matter what. [00:35:00] And then the Warriors at that time didn't have championship medal. [00:35:02] I think when they came back against OKC that year, they were champs. [00:35:06] It was a different thing with them. [00:35:07] 73 wins. [00:35:09] That's stuff at the fucking apex of his powers. [00:35:12] I think they honestly probably beat the Spurs with Kawhi, but it is fucked that a dirty play takes out the guy who was destroying your team. [00:35:18] He's down 20. [00:35:19] Down 25, I think. [00:35:20] Yeah, I don't know. [00:35:21] I just don't want to give. [00:35:22] I don't want to put the asterisks because I think once we start putting asterisks. [00:35:25] No, I don't actually want to put an asterisk, but it's a funny sound bite to say they're in the ship. [00:35:28] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:35:29] Okay, okay. [00:35:29] I just, because then we can go back and we can question every single team in the history of the game. [00:35:33] Like, with that being said, I feel like the Raptors are feeling very like Dallas Mavericks-y to me. [00:35:37] Yeah. [00:35:37] Like, I kind of feel like it's kind of this one. [00:35:39] Russell shouldn't have 11 rings. [00:35:40] They didn't let blacks play basketball back. [00:35:43] We can keep going back. [00:35:45] But yeah, it's a tricky, it's a tricky thing. [00:35:48] And you never know what you're going to do until you're put in that situation. [00:35:52] You never know that you're capable of coming back from 3-1 until you are. [00:35:55] LeBron did it. [00:35:56] Golden State almost did it this time. [00:35:59] And a lot of people might say if Clay didn't get it. [00:36:01] If Clay doesn't go down, because it felt like this is one of those Golden State runs. [00:36:07] Like as it's happening. [00:36:07] It was game six Klay happening again. [00:36:09] And it felt like a fucking Buffalo Wild Wings commercial. [00:36:13] That's what it felt like. [00:36:14] It's like every time the rap, the Warriors were about to make a move, somebody turned a switch somewhere. [00:36:20] Injuried. [00:36:21] Right? [00:36:21] Like it was unbelievable to see this. [00:36:24] They were literally in the middle of a run. [00:36:26] Clay goes up for a dunk. [00:36:27] Routine. [00:36:28] That would have put them up, I think, like six or seven or some shit like that. [00:36:32] And Clay don't have hops to come down from a dunk and tear his ACL. [00:36:35] There's certain people I could see coming down from a leap and then coming and then tearing your ACL. [00:36:40] But this is a guy who barely gets off the ground. [00:36:42] Yeah. [00:36:42] Yeah. [00:36:44] They got all those videos of him like missing dunks in China and shit. [00:36:47] Yeah. [00:36:48] No bounce. [00:36:49] And it's so just fucking poetic that like he tears his ACL going for a dunk. [00:36:53] But it was just so odd. [00:36:54] Like that must have been ready to go. [00:36:56] Yeah. [00:36:56] That had to be ready to go. [00:36:57] You don't just tear your ACL. [00:36:59] Steph knew it too. [00:36:59] Like Steph threw like a fucking wild pass to him to like to get that dunk because they were just they were just flying. [00:37:05] They were just trying to get as many fast break points as he can. [00:37:08] Throws it hard. [00:37:08] Literally as soon as he comes down and see Steph like slam the ball on the floor and like sit all the way in the fucking because he knew he saw it go down. [00:37:14] Everybody saw it. [00:37:15] As soon as he fucking saw that replay, I was like, yeah, that's an ACL. [00:37:17] That's done. [00:37:18] Casby acting like he had a doctor. [00:37:19] As soon as I saw it, I knew. [00:37:21] I knew I knew Kevin. [00:37:22] You see that knee? [00:37:23] How that turned. [00:37:24] I saw the, well, there's two things. [00:37:26] When you come down and can't move and it looked pretty easy the way you came down, I think that's a guaranteed injury. [00:37:32] I knew it was an injury. [00:37:33] And then when he fucking, but he went out, no, no, I don't know. [00:37:36] You know it's an injury, but you don't know torn ACL. [00:37:38] Absolutely. [00:37:40] That's six years down. [00:37:41] I don't know. [00:37:42] But I saw it. [00:37:42] I thought it was an injury. [00:37:45] That into my DNA. [00:37:47] I thought it was an injury, but I knew it was a torn ACL. [00:37:49] What else? [00:37:51] That's literally how everybody tears ACL. [00:37:54] What else is fucking going on? [00:37:55] You got a headache? [00:37:56] He sprained a knee. [00:37:58] Maybe he sprained an MCL. [00:37:59] That's best case scenario. [00:38:01] Yeah. [00:38:01] And when he runs back out in the court, I was like, maybe he's a sprain or something. [00:38:05] I don't know. [00:38:06] That's usually how it goes. [00:38:07] You go up and you learn. [00:38:08] Crystaps do it. [00:38:09] Same shit. [00:38:11] Went up to dunk over Arianas. [00:38:13] Everybody tear their fucking ACL when they come down from a dunk. [00:38:16] If you come down from any movement, one leg and you can't move the knee, ACL. [00:38:21] Guaranteed. [00:38:22] And it bent right where the ACL. [00:38:24] Dude, I don't even want... [00:38:25] Dude, there's a video of it. [00:38:26] Did you guys see the slow motion video of it? [00:38:28] I saw the replay. [00:38:29] I didn't see any. [00:38:31] Yo, like more props to him because he was bouncing around. [00:38:35] That's fucking bad. [00:38:35] Fucking hitting their free throws. [00:38:36] I'm like, this dude's nuts. [00:38:37] Jogs back out on the court. [00:38:39] And again, that's why I'm like, it's got to be a sprain. [00:38:41] There's no way that's going to be a good thing. [00:38:42] He's going back on defense, like jumping up and down, like ready to play D. [00:38:46] And I'm like, yo, this motherfucking even though he had a tornado. [00:38:50] And if you watch the replay, if you watch the actual game, they go to Doris Burke one, they go to Doris Burke backstage or behind the court, whatever. [00:38:57] And like, oh, you know, Clay's trying to get himself to play. [00:38:59] We don't know. [00:39:00] And literally two minutes later, they go back to like, oh, yeah, no, he's done. [00:39:04] He won't return. [00:39:05] Like that quick. [00:39:07] So you could tell Clay was still back there like convincing motherfuckers to go. [00:39:11] They showed that replay of him walking to the tunnel and then somebody says something to him and then I guess you got to shoot free throws. [00:39:16] Yeah, if he takes you out to not shoot throws, you're out for the game. [00:39:20] Then he just fucking sprints back onto the court on a torn ACL. [00:39:24] Crazy. [00:39:25] Yeah. [00:39:26] Crazy. [00:39:26] Yeah. [00:39:27] Motherfucker gets props, man. [00:39:28] He gets a shit ton of props for that shit. [00:39:30] Yeah. [00:39:31] And I mean, it's a smart move, right? [00:39:32] He doesn't know that his ACL is torn, or at least he's trying really hard to believe it's not. [00:39:37] And he knows that if he comes out of the game and doesn't shoot his free throws, he can't come back in the game at all. [00:39:42] Closeout game. [00:39:43] So he's like, well, fuck it. [00:39:44] I'll shoot the free throws. [00:39:45] I'll go back in the locker room. [00:39:46] Maybe it's just a little sprain. [00:39:47] Maybe some Paul Pierce shit. [00:39:48] Right. [00:39:49] I bet you that's what he's thinking in that moment. [00:39:51] He's like, oh, playoffs? [00:39:52] Paul went out? [00:39:53] What was it game? [00:39:54] Paul's shit is pants. [00:39:56] Now we know that. [00:39:57] You know what I mean? [00:39:58] Yeah, we know that now. [00:39:59] You know that now. [00:40:00] You had access to this. [00:40:01] What do you think happened in the moment? [00:40:02] In the moment? [00:40:03] I thought it was ACL. [00:40:04] I thought it was a quick sprain because he was still bouncing up and down. [00:40:06] I'm like, all right, he's hurt, but he ain't going to ain't going to go out like that. [00:40:08] When he carried that motherfucker out, I thought it was ACL, bro. [00:40:12] I thought it might be, but then he's walking and bouncing and jumping. [00:40:16] I was like, maybe it's a spray and he's going to fight through it. [00:40:18] Which I also thought was a beast. [00:40:19] I'm talking about Paul. [00:40:20] Oh, Paul? === Hockey Rivalries Explained (04:42) === [00:40:21] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:40:23] I thought Paul was done. [00:40:25] Anyway, okay, so Raptors wins too. [00:40:30] Well, first, before we figure out what the Warriors are going to do for next season, because I think next season is going to be an interesting conversation. [00:40:36] I think we have to salute the best fans in the entire NBA, which are the Toronto Rappers fans. [00:40:43] I don't think that there is a city with better fans than the Toronto Rappers. [00:40:47] Their whole country. [00:40:47] Right now, I know it's their own country. [00:40:49] I know it's a whole country, but we also have to consider that that's to their detriment as well, right? [00:40:54] Because their whole country, there are people that are 3,000 miles away from Toronto that are still rooting for Toronto, that are still getting behind Toronto. [00:41:04] You know, they have no connection to that city. [00:41:06] Matter of fact, they hate the teams in hockey that play for that city. [00:41:10] Oh, for sure. [00:41:10] Right. [00:41:11] But they're just getting behind them. [00:41:12] They had 2 million people come out for the parade that's going on right now. [00:41:16] 2 million people. [00:41:17] That's crazy. [00:41:18] That's crazy. [00:41:18] My friend sent me a video. [00:41:20] I was in Montreal, to be fair. [00:41:21] I was in Montreal, and I was with family. [00:41:24] We put like kids to bed and stuff. [00:41:25] And then like one, we went out there, and the shit was ending in Montreal. [00:41:28] The celebration was done. [00:41:29] Like, people are leaving. [00:41:30] I'm like, are you fucking, this is whack. [00:41:32] But then my boy, my homie sent me a video from Toronto, 1.30 in the morning. [00:41:35] It's fucking crazy. [00:41:37] They did not stop. [00:41:38] That's the thing. [00:41:39] You got to understand. [00:41:40] Like, the fact that they're celebrating in Montreal is no different than if the Knicks were celebrating the Warriors win. [00:41:49] In New York, we were celebrating the Warriors win. [00:41:52] I'm telling you, there's rivalries between these places. [00:41:54] It's a different country. [00:41:55] It's like they hate, they don't like each other. [00:41:57] There's a vote in Montreal, I think, every year whether they should leave Canada. [00:42:00] Quebec wants to secede or whatever. [00:42:02] Yeah. [00:42:03] So, like, it is nuts that there's this like national celebration for 2 million people to come on a parade. [00:42:09] Think about that. [00:42:10] This is Monday. [00:42:12] It ain't Sunday. [00:42:14] You have work. [00:42:15] You have jobs. [00:42:17] You have city jobs. [00:42:19] You have TSA agents. [00:42:21] There are people who called in sick today. [00:42:23] You can't get nothing done. [00:42:25] No. [00:42:25] You can't get a sandwich with Quiznos. [00:42:28] Nobody went to work today. [00:42:29] Nobody. [00:42:30] No. [00:42:30] I mean, the thing with that is like, you got to understand, like, they only have one real pro championship since then, like the Toronto Blue Jays. [00:42:37] Right. [00:42:38] It's been, what, 30 years? [00:42:39] Yeah. [00:42:39] 37 years? [00:42:40] Something like that. [00:42:41] They don't got a football team. [00:42:42] And the rivalries dissipate when there's no actual team to have a rival. [00:42:45] Like, if there was a Montreal basketball team, a Vancouver basketball team, I think they'd be like, all right, cool. [00:42:51] We beat America. [00:42:52] Great. [00:42:52] We got one. [00:42:53] But I don't think this is like, I can easily support the Raptors. [00:42:56] Matter of fact, there were kind of cool shirts in Montreal that said, we the North, but we was OUI. [00:42:59] Like the French week. [00:43:01] So like, they're like, all right, this is all we got. [00:43:03] We don't, there's no reason to dislike these teams. [00:43:06] The team, there's no reason to dislike. [00:43:07] But what happens when you have another team that you don't like there, that gravitates to a city rivalry. [00:43:15] Like Boston versus New York is like a city rivalry. [00:43:19] It's not just sports. [00:43:21] Yeah. [00:43:21] Right? [00:43:22] I just don't like people from Boston. [00:43:24] Exactly. [00:43:24] Nothing to do with the sports. [00:43:25] Nothing to do with it. [00:43:26] And I think when you take something that they care that as much as hockey and there's that big a rivalry as hockey, that I could see it getting so for them to look past it and just like hop on board. [00:43:35] Yeah. [00:43:36] Fucking sick. [00:43:37] Yeah. [00:43:38] I mean, I was just blown away. [00:43:39] And it's not even their main sport. [00:43:42] No. [00:43:42] That's why. [00:43:44] That's why it's such a huge accomplishment. [00:43:45] That's why it's such a huge fucking celebration because it's not their main sport. [00:43:48] They're a hockey town and a pro wrestling. [00:43:50] They're a hockey town and pro-wrestling town. [00:43:52] Like basketball is still fairly new to them. [00:43:55] Vince Carter was the reason why basketball was something. [00:43:58] So it's still super fucking young. [00:44:00] But it's dope, man. [00:44:02] It felt like watching the fucking World Cup. [00:44:03] Like how this is like a crazy celebrating shit, how the flags and the crowd and all the fucking banners and shit was great. [00:44:09] It was dope. [00:44:09] We're never going to see a finals like this again, I don't think. [00:44:11] What do you mean? [00:44:13] One game was one at home this entire series. [00:44:15] Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:44:17] And they're two fucking great fan bases at home. [00:44:20] Like, none of it makes any sense. [00:44:21] The best ends are that Warriors fan base ain't shit. [00:44:24] It's been diluted now, probably. [00:44:26] But historically, the Warriors fans are incredible. [00:44:29] I guess a tough place to play. [00:44:30] I think they were. [00:44:30] I think they got spoiled, though. [00:44:31] They got spoiled. [00:44:32] They got spoiled. [00:44:32] They got rich. [00:44:33] They got white. [00:44:33] They got priced out. [00:44:34] They got a lot of their people out. [00:44:35] Yeah, like the OG, we believe Warriors. [00:44:38] Let's clarify. [00:44:39] The whites got priced out by the Asians. [00:44:41] Ain't no more white people in Katie. [00:44:43] Asians don't even know how to have emotion. [00:44:45] It's even more so. [00:44:48] When we talk about gentrification, there's an Asian gentrification in Silicon Valley. [00:44:51] It's Silicon Valley. [00:44:53] So the Asians are forcing the whites to move the blacks. [00:44:58] Seriously, bro. [00:45:00] So the whites are moving into Oakland and they're just like, blame the Asians. === Warriors Fan Base Issues (14:40) === [00:45:03] We don't want to live with y'all. [00:45:05] But the Asians took everything. [00:45:08] Real talk. [00:45:09] It's a crazy thing going. [00:45:11] It is nuts over there, man. [00:45:12] It is nuts. [00:45:13] But you had that. [00:45:14] You have two massive NBA changing injuries. [00:45:18] You got Kawhi, a free agent that was traded for that year, who's a free agent now, who you still don't know if he's going to stay even with a ring. [00:45:25] Oh, that's a good combo. [00:45:26] Like, this is, there's so much in this series. [00:45:28] It's crazy. [00:45:29] I got to shout my boy who listens to the podcast, my boy Levine. [00:45:34] He has said, Jason said, you know what Kawhi should do? [00:45:37] Kawhi should just pick a shitty team every year, sign one-year contracts, take them to the finals, and win it, and he'll be like a basketball Robin Hood. [00:45:47] That is genius. [00:45:48] That's goat shit. [00:45:49] What if he just goes to the worst team in the league? [00:45:51] He's like the basketball Deion Sanders. [00:45:53] Just go to the worst team in the league. [00:45:55] And then take them to the finals every fucking year. [00:45:59] So he'd naturally go to the Knicks this year, right? [00:46:01] No. [00:46:03] Dude, fuck the Knicks, man. [00:46:04] God damn it. [00:46:05] Did I get to that later? [00:46:06] Oh, yeah. [00:46:07] We'll get to that later. [00:46:08] So you were saying you were saying. [00:46:09] The Warriors, what do they do? [00:46:10] What are the Warriors? [00:46:11] Can I ask one real quick question? [00:46:12] Sorry, about the Warriors. [00:46:13] About the Warriors. [00:46:13] Yes. [00:46:14] Is this the Klay injury their karma for pressuring Kevin Durant into playing game five? [00:46:20] Because if Katie doesn't play, you lose game five. [00:46:22] KD is fine. [00:46:23] Clay doesn't get hurt in game six. [00:46:25] Is that your karma for putting pressure on a guy you knew was going to leave to play? [00:46:30] Honestly, that's the first thing you're going to give a fuck about the future. [00:46:32] That's the first thing I felt when KD went down. [00:46:34] It was like, you only put him out there because you know he's not coming back. [00:46:37] You're like, fuck, we're going to get anything we can out of him because we're dying right now. [00:46:40] Yeah. [00:46:41] And, you know, and they knew Clay wasn't going anywhere. [00:46:43] Everybody in the world know Clay wasn't going anywhere. [00:46:45] And now he's done for the year. [00:46:47] And I don't know what to do. [00:46:49] If I'm the Warriors, like, do you waste the year of Steph's Prime just like fucking going him and Draymond versus the world? [00:46:55] Or do you say, all right, Clay, you go ahead, KD, you go ahead, and you put yourself into the free agent pool and you make yourself a fucking player with like the Kawhi's and the Butlers and the Tobias Harris's of the world. [00:47:10] I feel like you have to sign Clay because the Warriors work best with nobody fits that system better than Clay. [00:47:16] Need Clay. [00:47:16] Of course. [00:47:17] Nobody. [00:47:17] Or we're signing Clay. [00:47:18] It's not even a question. [00:47:19] KD, I don't think you're going to be. [00:47:21] I think Katie's gone. [00:47:22] If Katie opts out, I don't. [00:47:23] I think he's gone. [00:47:24] I mean, Katie's gone. [00:47:25] Clay is going to stay. [00:47:26] I think Clay's father said he's out of the way. [00:47:28] Clay said he's absolutely not going anywhere. [00:47:29] And let's be honest. [00:47:31] If there is one person who is built for an ACL injury, it's Clay Thompson. [00:47:35] He's already shown it. [00:47:36] He's an amazing shooter. [00:47:38] He is not only toughness. [00:47:39] Yeah, yeah, he's absolutely tough. [00:47:41] He's an amazing shooter. [00:47:42] He does not rely on his athleticism at all. [00:47:44] I wonder if it'll affect him defensively. [00:47:47] That's probably the only way it'll affect him. [00:47:49] It might affect him defensively. [00:47:50] You need to slide with those ACL slides. [00:47:53] But if there is an injury that it seems that people can come back from now. [00:47:57] ACL is not what it used to be. [00:47:59] It really isn't. [00:48:00] Isn't that fascinating? [00:48:01] In our lifetime, in our adult lifetime. [00:48:03] That shit took out Penny and Gret Hill. [00:48:05] Goats. [00:48:06] In their prime. [00:48:07] Willn't grant an ankle, right? [00:48:10] It was an ankle. [00:48:10] Penny was the ACL. [00:48:13] And Antonio McDice was another ACL guy. [00:48:15] Like, took everything. [00:48:16] He's great talents at one point. [00:48:19] And now it is a normal. [00:48:21] It's almost like Tommy John surgery for pitching. [00:48:25] Whereas I imagine earlier in their lives. [00:48:27] That's why they called it Tommy John surgery. [00:48:29] It's over, right? [00:48:30] And now they can come back. [00:48:31] They're throwing harder. [00:48:34] That's just what pitchers get now. [00:48:36] From what I'm saying, you just get Tommy Johns. [00:48:38] For real. [00:48:38] And so I was reading an article about it. [00:48:41] Yeah, I was about to say that. [00:48:41] So here's the thing. [00:48:43] The reason why they would come back and throw harder is because they took a stronger tendon. [00:48:50] Or I think they take something from your thigh. [00:48:52] So here you have this arm one, and they're like, fuck that. [00:48:55] You might as well take something from a horse. [00:48:58] But then what they started looking at some studies and it said it's not necessarily the tendon. [00:49:04] It's that you're doing so much work on the muscles around the region that you're building up, I guess, an ability to throw harder. [00:49:13] Yes. [00:49:14] So as a pitcher, you got to be like, oh, maybe I should have lifted weights. [00:49:17] Right, right. [00:49:17] I could add three miles per hour to my fastball. [00:49:21] So what do the Warriors look like next year, though? [00:49:23] I think the Warriors just, you know, they re-signed Clay. [00:49:25] I think we get to see what I've always wanted to see, which is Steph on a shitty team. [00:49:29] I want to see Steph go for 40 every single game. [00:49:32] My concern is, and it's going to happen. [00:49:34] And my concern with the Warriors is specifically with Steph, is Steph cannot do that every game. [00:49:42] He will break down. [00:49:43] So do you end up injuring Steph in the process? [00:49:46] I think you really got to limit him. [00:49:47] No back-to-backs. [00:49:48] You got to limit minutes. [00:49:49] And then when he does play, we're going to watch him go nut. [00:49:51] They'll probably make the playoffs, but it'll be a low seed. [00:49:54] And it'll be really fun season for Steph. [00:49:56] I think it will be a history. [00:49:57] I think it's going to be a fun season. [00:49:58] Yeah, I called this on the other show. [00:50:01] I said, I think Steph's going to win MVP next year. [00:50:03] I think he's going to keep them in striking distance until Clay gets back. [00:50:08] People are going to see, instead of Steph going against the top defense in the NBA and the Raptors, he's going to be going up against who sucks right now. [00:50:17] Like the Mavericks and the fucking Magic and like these lower tier teams. [00:50:22] The Knicks. [00:50:22] Yeah. [00:50:23] Like they're going to be going against these lower tier teams where Steph like, it doesn't matter who like he's going to go off and they need him to go off to even be fucking comparable. [00:50:32] Yeah. [00:50:33] So he might average, he might fuck around on average like 35 next year. [00:50:36] Easily. [00:50:37] And play 60 games. [00:50:39] I can see 65 games. [00:50:41] I still think the Warriors make the playoffs. [00:50:43] Yeah, they're going to be a low seed. [00:50:45] But I think it would be the most exciting. [00:50:47] I mean, we would have these conversations, me and a couple of buddies, and they're like, dude, how much fun would it be if you just had Steph on a team where he could go nut? [00:50:53] Like where he could do what Lou Williams does. [00:50:56] Or James Harden does. [00:50:57] Or James Harden does. [00:50:58] Just comes in the game and just gets buckets. [00:51:00] You know, don't handle anything else. [00:51:02] And you could even have guys like Quinn Cook come in the game. [00:51:05] They could handle more of the distribution. [00:51:07] That's honestly what I think you do. [00:51:09] I think you sign a guy like fucking Malcolm Brogdon. [00:51:11] You make him the real point guard. [00:51:12] And then have Steph just go. [00:51:14] Just have him run around, go. [00:51:16] If you sit and watch him during the game, like you get exhausted watching how much this motherfucker just moves around to get an open shot. [00:51:23] And if he gets to do that for 82 games or I guess like 60 plus game, if you're putting him on a minutes restriction, that's fun. [00:51:30] And that's a guy who could be MVP next year. [00:51:33] Okay, so let's talk about Kawhi next year and what Kawhi does. [00:51:36] I think he resigns. [00:51:39] I think getting to the finals was the point at resign. [00:51:43] And winning, I think, guarantees it. [00:51:45] That's my theory. [00:51:46] I have nothing to support this. [00:51:47] I have no hard time. [00:51:49] I was listening to Simmons. [00:51:49] He was saying he's quite possibly going to LA, the Clippers. [00:51:52] I don't see that, man. [00:51:53] I don't. [00:51:54] If you win it, you stay. [00:51:56] There's just no reason. [00:51:57] I know he don't really give a fuck, but I'm not leaving a proven winner. [00:52:00] And they're set up. [00:52:01] So Raptors. [00:52:04] What's his name? [00:52:04] Lowry's coming off the books after next year. [00:52:06] And I think Lowry in the playoffs next year will be better. [00:52:09] I think once he won the championship, so much weight is lifted. [00:52:13] I think you're going to see him playing way more free. [00:52:14] I have a hard time believing after a good game six in a clinching game, at least a great first half, you're still going to be nervous. [00:52:22] Good game six. [00:52:22] Oh, he won that game for him. [00:52:23] He played game six. [00:52:24] He won that game for him. [00:52:25] He almost had a triple W, 27, 6 and 10. [00:52:29] 21 in the first half. [00:52:30] It was done. [00:52:31] No, no. [00:52:32] I think what Kawhi allowed him to do is become, is to excel at what he is great at. [00:52:37] He is a conductor. [00:52:39] And Pascal Siako. [00:52:40] And Pascal. [00:52:41] Sure, Pascal, Mark, all of them help, right? [00:52:43] But what he is, is an elite conductor. [00:52:46] And he's an elite conductor who is pretty good at scoring. [00:52:51] And earlier in his career, he had to step up his scoring. [00:52:54] But that's not his natural inclination. [00:52:56] It's not his natural inclination to just go in there and put up 30, 40 points a game. [00:53:01] It's his natural inclination to run the fucking orchestra. [00:53:05] And you know what? [00:53:06] He has his guys that he can let do solos. [00:53:08] Kawhi can solo. [00:53:09] Pascal can solo. [00:53:11] But he is there running the orchestra. [00:53:13] I'm going to get some layups. [00:53:14] He was making some phenomenal fucking passes. [00:53:16] That's it. [00:53:17] Get into the basket. [00:53:18] And look, look, every once in a while he'll get a bully layup when you need to. [00:53:22] Every once in a while, he'll hit a three. [00:53:23] He'll hit backbreaking shots when he needs to, but his natural function is just conduct the orchestra. [00:53:31] I could see Kyle. [00:53:32] No bullshit. [00:53:33] I could see Kyle on a team where he scores four points a game and he is he scores four points a game, but he is necessary for the team to function. [00:53:45] He's Andre Guadala. [00:53:47] Yeah, yeah. [00:53:48] A little different. [00:53:50] Andre doesn't run the team. [00:53:51] The thing I was trying to bring up that he does that those guys do, those Iguadalis, Bowens, whatever, he'll take the charges. [00:53:56] He'll run. [00:53:56] He'll give effort plays. [00:53:57] Like he's a conductor and gives you the effort plays on a role play. [00:54:01] 100%. [00:54:01] Yeah. [00:54:02] You get a lot with him in that regard for sure because he is going to be under, he's going to be scrappy. [00:54:06] He's going to get a couple steals a game. [00:54:07] He is going to do that. [00:54:09] He kind of reminds me of a super. [00:54:11] I might be overrating him a little bit. [00:54:13] He reminds me of Dallas Jason Kidd. [00:54:16] Not like superstar, like triple-double like that dude, but like when he was in Dallas, he was in later prime, later years. [00:54:23] He's made winning plays and he makes winning plays. [00:54:25] That's what it is. [00:54:26] He makes winning plays. [00:54:27] He could go off a little bit here and there. [00:54:29] He's capable at three now, where he wasn't in the beginning of his career. [00:54:32] Right. [00:54:33] Like definitely on the later side of his career, Jason Kidd. [00:54:37] Even when he was on the Knicks, when he was like, when that one good team was doing, he's a lot better than Jay Kidd. [00:54:42] But I understand it later in his career. [00:54:43] But I understand what you're trying to say, right? [00:54:44] He's doing the intangibles and he's running the show. [00:54:47] And I think he's better running the show. [00:54:48] What I meant by scoring four points a game is I don't think that his scoring is where he's an asset. [00:54:53] And in the playoffs, it's so crazy how you see how game IQ matters. [00:54:57] During the regular season, game IQ means nothing, right? [00:54:59] There's a guy on the Raptors, Norman Powell, right? [00:55:03] And you could just see he has no game IQ. [00:55:06] When he's out there, he's just driving recklessly to the basket. [00:55:09] Energy guy. [00:55:10] Tons of energy. [00:55:10] His athleticism is off the charts. [00:55:12] He's got balls. [00:55:13] He'll take a big shot and he'll get those shots sometimes and it'll really help the team. [00:55:17] But he'll also make stupid plays and tend to turn it over. [00:55:20] Gerald Green, right? [00:55:21] Yeah. [00:55:21] A guy like Kyle and a guy like Van Fleet, elite game IQ. [00:55:27] Never made bad decision. [00:55:29] Think about Van Fleet. [00:55:29] He's been playing winning basketball. [00:55:31] Red Vlam Vleet has been playing winning basketball state. [00:55:36] It's the final four. [00:55:37] Right. [00:55:37] That's right. [00:55:38] So it's like those kind of guys in the playoffs are such fucking assets. [00:55:42] Like if you look at a guy like Kawhi, remember game five when he passes that ball off when he got double teamed? [00:55:48] Yeah. [00:55:49] That's winning basketball. [00:55:50] Yeah. [00:55:51] They got a good look, but that's winning basketball. [00:55:54] Dream just made a great defensive play. [00:55:56] A guy like Norm might not make that play. [00:55:59] He might force something. [00:56:00] He might fuck something up. [00:56:02] And it's really interesting when you're putting together a team about tapping into, like, that's a real skill set right there for like GMs and like presidents and even coaches is tapping into players that can make the right play in crucial moments when you're most anxious and you're most nervous. [00:56:20] And I do believe Kyle can do that. [00:56:21] This kind of segues into, I guess, our next topic soon, or maybe, I don't know, whatever. [00:56:28] That's why I don't think Kawhi goes to the Lakers. [00:56:30] I think the Lakers need those type of players. [00:56:33] Like if there's anything that these finals have taught me or the past couple finals taught me, like stars get you there, you need depth. [00:56:40] I think thinking is he's going to the Clippers anyway. [00:56:42] I don't know why if you're Kawhi, you'd want to go be number two to LeBron. [00:56:44] Well, today was talking. [00:56:46] There was a lot of talk. [00:56:47] Damon Jones on Get Up today saying Kawhi's, you know, the Lakers are focused on trying to get him. [00:56:56] There's some like fucking weird trade provision. [00:56:57] Like if it completes by July 6th, they get some more money. [00:57:01] Listen, I've been doubting the Lakers and I'm clearly wrong a lot about the Lakers. [00:57:06] But I'm thinking if I'm Kawhi, I'd be like, I shut this guy down, your best player that's still going to be your alpha. [00:57:12] I shut him down when I wasn't this good in the finals. [00:57:15] The guy hates playing me. [00:57:16] If you're LeBron James, if you're LeBron James, do you go up to Kawhi and be like, it's your team. [00:57:22] Like, you're the keys. [00:57:23] Does that get him there? [00:57:24] Maybe, but I don't know if that's in LeBron's DV. [00:57:26] Look, you know it's not his. [00:57:28] You know, it's not exactly. [00:57:29] Let me tell you something. [00:57:32] Nobody has been more right about LeBron James than Phil Jackson. [00:57:36] Okay. [00:57:37] LeBron said, Phil said LeBron's a diva, right? [00:57:39] Was it a diva? [00:57:40] Was that the concept? [00:57:41] No, it's posse. [00:57:41] He has his whole posse. [00:57:43] And people didn't understand what that really meant. [00:57:46] First of all, Phil Jackson's a thousand years old. [00:57:48] A posse to him is like a bunch of white guys on fucking horseback that like, no, that's if he was 75. [00:57:56] He's talking about Westerns. [00:57:58] Oh, okay. [00:57:59] You know what I mean? [00:57:59] The blah, blah, blah, and the Jackson posse is coming through and they're going to rile up the town, whatever, right? [00:58:04] But what you deal with when you're on a team with LeBron is you deal with two caravans of people coming backstage before every single game. [00:58:14] LeBron's making all the decisions about where the team's going out to eat, all that stuff. [00:58:18] And it's okay because he goes to the finals every year. [00:58:19] It's fine. [00:58:20] But if you're trying to create a team based on your culture, impossible with LeBron on the team. [00:58:29] If LeBron is on a team, it is LeBron's culture. [00:58:32] So if you're a president or GM and you want to bring in a culture that you think leads to winning that's different than LeBron, can't have it. [00:58:41] And to me, Kawhi strikes me as the guy who is high culture. [00:58:45] If there's one thing he took from pop, it is winning fucking, like, we didn't know he had a personality until after he won. [00:58:52] Now all of a sudden, he's like this gregarious kind of funny guy, right? [00:58:55] But he wouldn't even slap hands with Norman Powell before the game. [00:58:59] Like this guy, you know how LeBron goes zero dark 30? [00:59:02] Kawhi goes zero dark autism until he gets until he gets to the finals and wins it. [00:59:08] He goes zero dark 82. [00:59:09] Dude, he went zero dark 82 for like five seasons. [00:59:12] We haven't seen personality yet. [00:59:14] Zero Dark 410. [00:59:15] Real talk. [00:59:16] We haven't seen personality since the last time they won. [00:59:19] Facts, facts. [00:59:21] Look at him right now. [00:59:21] He's fucking. [00:59:23] Sergeibran. [00:59:24] A video of him and Kyle Lowry talking. [00:59:26] Oh, right. [00:59:26] What's up with Richard? [00:59:28] Where he's like, yo, is your trophy as much as it is mine? [00:59:30] And blah, blah, blah. [00:59:31] He talked about the text message he sent Kyle Lowry the day after the trade. [00:59:34] Look at the one with him as Surge in the car. [00:59:36] If there's anything that convinces me that he's staying, it's those videos. [00:59:39] Serge got a video of him and Kawhi in the back of the car. [00:59:42] And he goes, he goes, I'm here with the fun guy. === Billion Dollar Franchise Drama (15:00) === [00:59:44] And he goes, and he says something like, yeah, yeah. [00:59:47] Some kind of like hip-hop reference. [00:59:49] It's like, whoa. [00:59:51] Look like he was rolling something up over there. [00:59:53] Real talk. [00:59:53] My ass Canada smoking smoking legal, like Drake says, bro. [00:59:58] I was like, that's definitely not a cigar, Kawhi. [01:00:01] So I respect it. [01:00:02] I would not be surprised if he ends up staying because let's be honest. [01:00:07] West is depleted. [01:00:08] East is dysfunctional. [01:00:11] He already went through the East. [01:00:13] Yeah, he went through all the Monsters of the East. [01:00:15] The West ain't what it is, what it used to be because KD's out. [01:00:18] Clay's out. [01:00:19] Houston's about to blow up. [01:00:21] You need credit also for LeBron easting the West or whatever, seeing that the West was going to topple. [01:00:27] West does not look strong anymore. [01:00:29] I mean, I wouldn't get that crazy. [01:00:31] It ain't the East. [01:00:33] It ain't the East. [01:00:35] Balance of Power has shifted. [01:00:36] And he went through with East. [01:00:38] So it's like, if I'm Kawhi and all I care about is winning chips because that's all he cares about. [01:00:43] And I know that I have a young core in Toronto that's intact still. [01:00:48] I mean, Kyle's not young, but he needs some veteran. [01:00:51] They can pay him. [01:00:52] No, I mean, like, do they have money to get other pieces around them? [01:00:55] But my feeling is, who do you need if you did it with this team? [01:00:57] And you can keep this whole team. [01:00:59] Well, they also. [01:00:59] They're going to retool. [01:01:01] You got to be able to. [01:01:01] But so here's where they're set up for the future. [01:01:03] Kyle Lowry's contract comes off the books at the end of next year. [01:01:06] I think Mark Massaul also has a pretty big contract that comes off the books next year. [01:01:10] So you're going to have Cap Space next year. [01:01:12] You bring back your championship team. [01:01:14] You make a run. [01:01:14] You add a piece here and there. [01:01:16] You make your run. [01:01:17] And if you don't do what you want to do, get some free agreements. [01:01:19] It's free. [01:01:20] And you got Cap Space with one of the best players in the league. [01:01:23] And guess where? [01:01:24] City, everyone loves playing it. [01:01:25] Guess where free agents want to be now because of Drake? [01:01:29] Guess where free agents want to be now because of a championship? [01:01:31] Guess where free talks celebrated? [01:01:33] Real talk. [01:01:33] So it's like you could play, if you're a free agent, you could get max money to play with Jonathan Milwaukee or literally an hour away in Toronto. [01:01:43] You know what I'm saying? [01:01:43] Like, Milwaukee is not a desired location. [01:01:47] No. [01:01:48] You're going to make more money in like with ads and shit, sponsorship, whatever that fucking thing is called. [01:01:52] What is it called? [01:01:52] Where you're the spokesperson? [01:01:54] Sponsorships. [01:01:55] Sponsorships in Toronto than you are in Milwaukee. [01:01:57] I mean, Toronto. [01:01:58] Toronto will truck everything at you. [01:02:00] They will throw everything at you. [01:02:03] You're all they got. [01:02:05] I'd be shocked if he left. [01:02:07] Shocked. [01:02:07] I'd be shocked if he left too. [01:02:09] And if you're Toronto, you can't be pissed. [01:02:11] Because you did exactly what he said. [01:02:13] They don't give a fuck. [01:02:13] You should. [01:02:14] You say, thank you. [01:02:15] We appreciate what you did for us. [01:02:16] We appreciate what you did for our city. [01:02:18] And you keep it. [01:02:19] And you know what? [01:02:19] Toronto will be back. [01:02:20] Even if they do lose him, they'll be bad. [01:02:22] Like you said, they get a bunch of cap space. [01:02:24] They've already shown how they treat soft players. [01:02:26] They're all in office. [01:02:28] I mean, the Maggie Uri might be leaving the city. [01:02:31] Yeah, Masai. [01:02:33] Masai might be heading to D.C. [01:02:34] So we can talk about that real quick. [01:02:35] Oh, yeah. [01:02:36] Let's talk about, let's talk about, let's talk about what happened at the end of the Warriors game. [01:02:41] So Toronto Raptors win. [01:02:44] Masai Ujiri is the president of Toronto Raptors. [01:02:48] He's trying to go onto the floor. [01:02:50] Security guard stops him from going onto the floor. [01:02:54] He allegedly either slaps or punches the security guard and then pushes him. [01:02:59] And the security guard is a deputy. [01:03:00] He's a police deputy. [01:03:01] Love it. [01:03:03] And then later, Kyle tells him to come on the floor. [01:03:06] Then they bring him onto the floor. [01:03:08] And so far, nothing has happened. [01:03:11] He flew directly back to Toronto. [01:03:15] And it's a clear case of white privilege. [01:03:19] It's a clear case. [01:03:20] Oh, a few games ago. [01:03:22] Black. [01:03:23] A few games ago. [01:03:24] You got the minority owners of the Warriors literally shoving Kyle Lowry. [01:03:29] And it's like now the shoe's on the other foot. [01:03:32] You better not do nothing about that shit. [01:03:34] Like, what the fuck? [01:03:35] Well, no, that owner is suspended for a year. [01:03:36] Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying. [01:03:37] Are we suspending Masai for a year? [01:03:40] Because Masai punched a cop. [01:03:42] Well, the Oakland police said he couldn't get on the court because he didn't have a credential. [01:03:46] All of the video of evidence has literally shown the credential on his hand trying to get on the court. [01:03:50] Sure, sure. [01:03:51] That being said, and it's, I think it's somewhat, you have to somewhat sympathize with the cop, right? [01:03:58] Which is... [01:03:58] I don't. [01:03:59] I do because your one job that night is stop people from coming onto the court. [01:04:04] You know at the end of the game, there are going to be people that are trying to come onto the court. [01:04:07] And everybody and their cousin and their sister is going to want to hug. [01:04:10] You're also supposed to regulate that. [01:04:11] And by regulating that, you look at people who have credentials. [01:04:14] You see people of interest who should be on the court. [01:04:16] It's not a lineup, though. [01:04:18] It's not a lineup, right? [01:04:19] It is the one place where profiling seems like it should go the other way. [01:04:22] Like, if I see a black guy walking on a basketball court, you probably don't care. [01:04:26] If I see a white guy going, well, let me see some credentials. [01:04:29] So I don't know how you got here. [01:04:30] So here's a perfect example of him not profiling. [01:04:32] It's like, this guy's not a bigot. [01:04:34] This guy's actually treating everybody equal. [01:04:36] Oh, what? [01:04:36] 6'5 black guy? [01:04:37] You don't know anybody. [01:04:39] I'm not saying he's a, I'm not saying he's a. [01:04:41] It's his literal job to not. [01:04:43] What I'm saying is Messiah is a fucking idiot for doing that. [01:04:47] You just won the fucking championship. [01:04:49] This is what you do. [01:04:50] You step back. [01:04:52] You go, here is my badge. [01:04:54] I am the president. [01:04:55] And if he doesn't do it, then you go, okay, I'll speak to someone else. [01:04:57] I'll make it happen. [01:04:58] You just won. [01:04:59] You couldn't even celebrate with your team. [01:05:01] You had to get sent back to Canada because there's no extraditing people who break the law from Canada. [01:05:07] Well, no, he got sent back because his daughter is graduation. [01:05:10] Do you believe that? [01:05:11] Bro, he took a picture. [01:05:12] He was there the next day. [01:05:14] He was there the next day with his daughter. [01:05:16] Like, yo, crazy 24 hours for the president of the Raptors. [01:05:20] Like, come on. [01:05:21] Crazy, bro. [01:05:22] Come on. [01:05:22] How do you do that? [01:05:24] You are the president of a billion-dollar franchise. [01:05:28] You have to be more responsible in that situation. [01:05:31] Masai be getting hype. [01:05:32] Remember when he cussed in the mic at the little... [01:05:34] My kind of guy, bro. [01:05:36] My kind of guy. [01:05:38] Yeah, he said, fuck the Knicks. [01:05:40] I think they were planning on a playoff. [01:05:41] Masai be getting hype. [01:05:43] I fuck with him. [01:05:44] I like it. [01:05:45] Slap a little cop maybe there. [01:05:47] He's doing the shit. [01:05:48] What are they really going to do? [01:05:49] Any security, any event you've been to, like security has a list of people, like people of interest that have pictures next to him. [01:05:56] And they'll have the picture of the credential. [01:05:57] Like, don't let anybody in this court that isn't this guy or have this credential. [01:06:02] And if you're doing your job, you should know, hey, this is the president of the team. [01:06:06] I'll remember that next part. [01:06:07] We pull up to Duce Palooza. [01:06:08] You should. [01:06:09] And I'm going to just walk in. [01:06:12] And then security message. [01:06:13] You walked in. [01:06:14] And I'm going to see it. [01:06:15] No, I didn't. [01:06:15] They came and got us. [01:06:16] But I'm going to see it. [01:06:17] I'm going to just flash my, and then I'm going to walk past the security guard. [01:06:20] And when the security guard pushed me back, I'm going to punch him in the face. [01:06:23] And then I'm going to see how that works out. [01:06:25] I'm going to see if Duce goes, oh, we apologize. [01:06:27] We should have been able to punch it. [01:06:29] Because it's not your party. [01:06:29] They clearly have the right to punch you in the face. [01:06:32] It ain't Messiah's party. [01:06:33] Messiah's party. [01:06:34] He's trying to turn into his party. [01:06:35] He's a guest. [01:06:37] He's a guest. [01:06:38] If he was at home, he walks right on that court. [01:06:40] He ain't at home. [01:06:41] I don't know, bro. [01:06:42] Yo, son, what does the president of the Utah Jazz look like? [01:06:44] I think, who knows? [01:06:46] But I think if some shit's going down. [01:06:48] That's what these people look like. [01:06:49] If some shit's going down, Adam Silver's going to be like, hey, we kind of need that guy, security guy or sheriff. [01:06:54] Leave him alone and just bring him on the fucking stage. [01:06:56] That's what I'm saying. [01:06:56] If he waited. [01:06:57] We know what Messiah looks like, though, because Masai gets a lot of credit. [01:06:59] Masai in the news. [01:07:00] Masai also one of the few black team presidents out there. [01:07:03] You know what Messiah looks like? [01:07:05] Not at all. [01:07:05] Eden, you know what Messiah looks like? [01:07:06] No. [01:07:07] Not at all. [01:07:07] Nobody knows what he looks like. [01:07:08] Let's be honest. [01:07:10] If I'm a sheriff and I'm secure. [01:07:12] If Messiah wasn't from Nigeria, you'd have no fucking clue. [01:07:14] No, but if I'm securing... [01:07:16] If I'm securing the area and I'm like, hey, this is the president of the Raptors. [01:07:20] You should probably know who this guy is or where they're sitting. [01:07:23] Yes, that's something you should know. [01:07:25] Sheriff? [01:07:27] No. [01:07:28] He had the credential on his hand. [01:07:30] Well, I haven't seen him. [01:07:31] I haven't seen him show the credential. [01:07:35] No, no, there's a picture. [01:07:35] I know the one is it. [01:07:36] All I'm saying is you're the head of a billion-dollar franchise. [01:07:40] You have to be more responsible. [01:07:41] You cannot use, you cannot act like that. [01:07:45] We have to hold everybody accountable. [01:07:46] It's easy for us on a podcast and be like, yo, that's what's up, man. [01:07:50] I want to see him snuff a cop, this, that, the other. [01:07:54] This isn't small potatoes here. [01:07:55] This is a billion-dollar franchise. [01:07:57] It's a different game. [01:07:57] I would not be surprised if it hurt him and his chance. [01:08:00] If he gets arrested, which he very well could be, if he doesn't get arrested, this is a clear case of, hey, if you got money, nothing affects you in America. [01:08:08] No matter what you look at. [01:08:09] And you won. [01:08:09] And you won, right? [01:08:11] But you beat the team that those deputies root for. [01:08:15] Yeah. [01:08:16] So they're going to want to arrest you. [01:08:18] You know what I mean? [01:08:19] Like, let's be honest. [01:08:21] But you making people money. [01:08:22] No. [01:08:23] You make money and you making people. [01:08:25] If you make important people money, hey, man, it's no different than a sales job. [01:08:29] My first day job was Verizon Wildlife, the best salesperson. [01:08:32] Just go to get drunk at lunch, come back to work. [01:08:34] Nobody says shit. [01:08:35] He made them money. [01:08:36] If Masai makes you money, they'll take care of you. [01:08:39] Yeah. [01:08:40] Well, also, we don't have to even talk about him making them money. [01:08:42] Masai is a multi-millionaire. [01:08:44] We're talking about a guy who gets paid millions of dollars. [01:08:47] Yet this guy is elite. [01:08:48] One, top 1%. [01:08:50] Rich, You know what I mean? [01:08:53] So it's like, and when you're that rich, you get to punch cops. [01:08:56] Regardless if you're white, black, Asian, Indian, you get to punch a cop in the face and then fly home. [01:09:02] Well, you should be, you should provide proper context. [01:09:06] Like you just won NBA championship. [01:09:07] You're going on the court. [01:09:09] And the reason why you punch the cop is because you're preventing him from going on the court, which is within his right to be at. [01:09:14] First of all, a cop could tell you, hey, we can't let anybody go to the court right now because we're securing the situation and a lot of people are trying to rush to court. [01:09:23] So we don't care if you have a credential or not. [01:09:24] We just need to secure the situation to protect the players. [01:09:26] That's our job to protect the players. [01:09:28] You give the cops a lot of slack, a whole lot of slack. [01:09:32] Like they should know the people of interest that would be like, okay, that's Norman Powell. [01:09:37] How often have we gone to a party? [01:09:39] How often have we gone to a party where they're like, hey, I know you're on the list. [01:09:43] Yeah. [01:09:44] I know who you are. [01:09:44] I know you have a credential, right? [01:09:46] I just went to the, when I was with the Raptors, right? [01:09:48] I was at the Raptors game, game five. [01:09:50] Drake's got a club inside the Raptors thing. [01:09:52] I'm on the list to go to this club. [01:09:54] I walk up. [01:09:55] They're like, hey, we're not letting anybody else in. [01:09:57] I go, I'm on the list to be here. [01:09:59] I have me plus three. [01:10:00] They're like, we understand that, but we're not letting anybody in off the list because it's too packed in there. [01:10:06] Maybe it's completely reasonable to just go, hey, guys, we're not letting anybody on the floor right now until we can organize the floor, secure the floor for the players. [01:10:13] It's our job to secure the floor for the players. [01:10:15] Everybody's trying to rush. [01:10:17] Everybody's mom, everybody's cousins, everybody's kids trying to rush. [01:10:20] Nobody's getting on. [01:10:21] Give us a second. [01:10:22] That is completely reasonable to wait a second. [01:10:25] It also didn't look like that was the type of conversation that was going on. [01:10:27] But none of us saw the conversation. [01:10:29] You're right. [01:10:29] I don't know that. [01:10:31] You know what's crazy? [01:10:31] Is it when... [01:10:33] Do we have the video? [01:10:34] No, we don't. [01:10:35] They don't have a video. [01:10:36] There is video. [01:10:36] Not full. [01:10:37] There's video. [01:10:38] Show me the video. [01:10:38] Pull that video. [01:10:39] There's video. [01:10:39] I'm seeing the video. [01:10:41] Pull that up. [01:10:42] The conversation didn't look like, hey, guys, we're going to just keep hanging out there. [01:10:46] I didn't say it was like that. [01:10:47] It could be like, no, nobody's in. [01:10:48] But the reason, like you said, intent matters or context matters. [01:10:51] The reason is because, hey, we have to protect these players. [01:10:55] And everybody can't just run onto the floor. [01:10:57] We don't care if you have credentials. [01:10:58] Absolutely. [01:10:59] But they also put out a statement saying like he didn't have a credential. [01:11:02] And then they're like, no, no, he had a credential. [01:11:04] Of course. [01:11:05] That's the reason why people are pissed off. [01:11:07] The Oakland police put out a statement saying like, well, he tried to get on the court. [01:11:10] He didn't have a credential. [01:11:11] And like everybody on Twitter was like, here he is, clearly with his credentials. [01:11:14] He didn't have a credential. [01:11:15] The story, the cop says he didn't have a credential. [01:11:17] He refused to something produced one, whatever. [01:11:20] And then if there's video evidence, that's what I want to see. [01:11:23] But I haven't seen the video. [01:11:25] Want to spend 20 minutes on it because I even think what's more interesting is what does he do next year? [01:11:28] If let's assume he beats this, does he go to the Wizards? [01:11:31] Yeah, um, he's from DC, right? [01:11:34] Is that why they gave him like the big holy shit? [01:11:36] Africa, son. [01:11:36] Well, clearly, but I'm saying, like, is that where he's my man don't sound like he's not from Africa? [01:11:42] I mean, like, he's off the Nigerian flag over his fucking suit, which is dope. [01:11:46] Do does he go to DC? [01:11:48] I think DC does. [01:11:49] No, I think it'd be smart if they, and they'd probably give him a bag of give him something. [01:11:52] They're giving him 10 million a year. [01:11:54] Ownership share. [01:11:56] Yeah, which is it out what they're offering? [01:11:58] That's what was reported. [01:11:59] That's what I read. [01:12:00] Which I doubt it's even 1%. [01:12:03] But if it's a percentage of ownership, that's worth a shitload. [01:12:06] And that's money that's constantly appreciating. [01:12:10] And furthermore, you, now I'm curious about the ownership share if he gets that in perpetuity or he only has that while he's GM or president. [01:12:23] You just have to sell it at the end, which possible, but does it either either way you're getting you're making money as you're doing it? [01:12:30] What I would do, what I would do with it, I see no reason why not to do it, right? [01:12:35] It's like you've already climbed the highest mountain, beating the Golden State Warriors, regardless if they were depleted or not. [01:12:41] That was the best team in basketball, right? [01:12:44] There's no other team to beat. [01:12:46] There's nobody, there's no other dragon to slay. [01:12:49] You've already accomplished it. [01:12:51] Now it's a soul stone. [01:12:52] You've got the soul stone. [01:12:54] So now you have the opportunity to go to a team that's going to be complete rebuild. [01:12:58] It's going to be a complete shit show. [01:13:00] I mean, very little expectations. [01:13:02] You'll be afforded time to make it right. [01:13:04] And you will. [01:13:04] 100% be afforded time to make it make it right. [01:13:07] And the NBA is in flux, so you might be able to grab some guys out of nowhere. [01:13:12] That being said, you're doing that strictly for monetary gain. [01:13:16] You've already had the challenge of taking a team that was dog shit and winning an NBA championship. [01:13:20] You've done it. [01:13:21] So now you're doing this strictly for money. [01:13:25] Yeah. [01:13:25] And I cannot hate on anybody who wants to set their family up. [01:13:30] And if they've already accomplished what they need to accomplish in terms of like, this is my goal. [01:13:34] I accomplished my goal. [01:13:35] Now I'm just going to go get money. [01:13:37] All right, cool. [01:13:37] You did what the fuck you set out to do. [01:13:39] Yep. [01:13:39] If you sell out and like you haven't really won anything, you're like, look, I was trying to build something, but the money is here. [01:13:44] I still get it. [01:13:45] But especially if you're like, look, I came here. [01:13:47] I got you what you wanted. [01:13:48] I got what I wanted. [01:13:49] Let's go. [01:13:49] Right. [01:13:50] On top of that. [01:13:50] I want to see this video. [01:13:51] Can we get it on the TV? [01:13:55] On top of that, he's shown that he can fleece people. [01:13:57] And the Wizards got Bradley Beale on the table. [01:14:00] Oh. [01:14:00] So Messiah is shrewd. [01:14:02] He can fleece some teams with that. [01:14:05] Shrewd businessman, shrewd owner. [01:14:07] Fleece the fucking business. [01:14:08] Nigerian, dog. [01:14:09] Of course he's going to get to cheat everybody. [01:14:11] This guy told me that there's two tribes in Nigeria. [01:14:14] Ebo and Yoruba. [01:14:15] Ebo and Yoruba. [01:14:16] He says one is all about business and the other is all about like studies. [01:14:20] Yes. [01:14:21] Which one is Ebo is see? [01:14:26] There is no video. [01:14:28] This is after the transition. [01:14:30] That's the aftermath. [01:14:31] So just pause for a second. [01:14:33] So pause for a second. [01:14:34] So this, so now, now if you don't think that this is by design, then you're crazy. [01:14:39] When a guy in the fan said something to oh, here we go. [01:14:43] Let's see. === Cop Punches and Scrum (06:30) === [01:14:44] We got it. [01:14:48] And Kyle Lowry had to pull him out. [01:14:50] Kyle Lowry's the classiest guy in this entire finals. [01:14:53] Yo, is there anybody whose like stock has risen more than Kyle Lowry this season? [01:14:58] So here's the thing. [01:14:59] We have a stadium, right? [01:15:01] Which probably has, I don't know, a thousand different cameras going at any point in time. [01:15:06] We have anybody in the fan, anybody in the stands says anything to a player. [01:15:10] All of a sudden, we have a single cam on them, zoomed in. [01:15:13] We're reading their mouths. [01:15:14] And we can't find one video of what happened. [01:15:17] This is also doing Google. [01:15:18] So it's quite possible there's a thousand videos out there. [01:15:21] There's also a whole championship celebration happening on the game. [01:15:24] Back up for a second. [01:15:25] I told you, I looked for the video. [01:15:27] I didn't see it at all. [01:15:27] This video would be all over Twitter. [01:15:29] It'd be all over Instagram. [01:15:31] When somebody gets knocked out in a boxing match, there's 15 different angles, 15 different videos. [01:15:35] The only video we have is after the scrum. [01:15:38] There's no evidence of said scrum, nothing. [01:15:40] Now, I think we know what this is. [01:15:41] Adam Silver, hey, don't let any fucking videos go out. [01:15:45] Why not? [01:15:45] Because it's bad for the league. [01:15:47] It's going to look bad for basketball. [01:15:48] So what we're going to do is we're going to protect this guy who fucked up because he's great for basketball. [01:15:53] The last thing we need is our first black president. [01:15:57] I don't believe that. [01:15:58] First black president to win the NBA finals for an NBA team. [01:16:01] Last thing we need is the first black president in the NBA finals for his team to be punching a policeman after the win. [01:16:09] The last thing the NBA needs is that. [01:16:11] So we're going to call Golden State Warriors. [01:16:13] We're going to call Golden State Police Department. [01:16:15] We're going to call everybody we have to do. [01:16:16] We're going to massage this shit because it's better for business. [01:16:18] I don't believe that. [01:16:19] Fair enough. [01:16:19] I don't believe that because I'm like, first off, that makes me think there just was no punch or there was no shove. [01:16:25] Why is that? [01:16:25] There might have been a yelling match. [01:16:27] I don't think there was a punch or a scrum. [01:16:28] Like Charles Oakley choked somebody in a fucking in the Madison Square Garden. [01:16:32] And it was videos of that shit. [01:16:33] Yeah, because every time Charles Oakley doesn't make anybody money. [01:16:36] It's the Knicks. [01:16:37] The Knicks make the most money out of any as they are. [01:16:40] Charles Oakley got banned from the Knicks and you need a reason why. [01:16:43] You could get Charles out of here. [01:16:44] And Charles choking someone is par for the course, right? [01:16:46] Charles not choking someone would be more surprising. [01:16:49] But Charles choking someone who was annoying to him. [01:16:51] Nah, I'm sorry, Charles. [01:16:52] I mean, the more I think about it, the more I think, I don't think there was no punch. [01:16:55] I don't think if the cops are saying, oh, this guy put hands on me, then I absolutely don't know. [01:16:59] You think there was no punch, period? [01:17:00] I don't think there was a punch. [01:17:01] There might have been a fucking, you know, when people want to fight, but they don't really want to fight. [01:17:04] Like, yeah, a mush, a little one of those, and then mad people get a bicep shove. [01:17:10] And then mad people get out of the way. [01:17:11] It's the hold me back, hold me back. [01:17:13] I think that was probably that. [01:17:15] But a full-on punch and nobody got the video. [01:17:17] 10 black Twitter isn't listening to this. [01:17:20] Now tell us what you think. [01:17:22] If somebody gets punched in an arena, video is coming out. [01:17:26] Listen, I'm on record or saying that. [01:17:28] That cop does not even look like that. [01:17:29] That cop doesn't look like he got punched. [01:17:31] Dude, if he got punched, cups is coming out. [01:17:33] Fuck all the dumb shit. [01:17:34] That's why they're chasing him. [01:17:35] And the guy was in between going, whoa, His friend is in between the cops and Messiah, begging them to stop because it happened. [01:17:44] I'm on record saying if he punched a cop, that's great. [01:17:46] That's everyone would have saw it. [01:17:49] No better way to celebrate than punching a cop if you're a black. [01:17:52] If he punched the cop, everybody would have saved. [01:17:53] If I could get away, if I'm a black dude, not getting together with punching a cop and winning a championship, there's no better night. [01:17:58] Fuck my daughter's graduation. [01:17:59] This is the greatest night in my life. [01:18:01] Can we acknowledge that? [01:18:02] But saying he didn't happen, that's wild. [01:18:05] I think what this is testing. [01:18:07] Thousands of people in there. [01:18:08] They can't get everyone's videos. [01:18:09] That's exactly what I'm saying. [01:18:11] But this is testament to Canada creating a post-racial society because if you have a black man confident enough to punch a cop in the face, right? [01:18:20] Canada must be doing something right because there is no way in hell a black man in America would look at a cop who said you can't get in and just go, I should punch you in your face for saying that to me. [01:18:28] That ain't no repercussion. [01:18:29] Not at all. [01:18:31] No way. [01:18:32] We have two black men in the room right now. [01:18:33] Would you punch a cop in the face? [01:18:35] Hell fucking no. [01:18:36] Of course not. [01:18:36] Because I don't think it happens. [01:18:39] Because you don't live in Canada. [01:18:40] That's fucking Canada, bro. [01:18:41] In Canada, there is no race. [01:18:42] Fuck Canada. [01:18:43] Canada, everyone is Drake. [01:18:45] They're in Oakland. [01:18:46] That's what Rodney King shit happened, right? [01:18:48] Right? [01:18:49] Fuck all that shit. [01:18:50] They ain't punching. [01:18:51] I don't think nobody got punched. [01:18:52] I think it was a fucking. [01:18:53] You wilding, dog. [01:18:55] I'm wild. [01:18:55] You don't believe OJ killed the ball. [01:18:57] You believe the cops. [01:18:58] Massage punched. [01:18:59] I didn't say all that about OJ. [01:19:00] Say it all. [01:19:01] You said allegedly. [01:19:03] He was going out allegedly. [01:19:04] Against the court of law, he beat the case, so that's what you got to say. [01:19:07] But anyway. [01:19:08] So did the cops in Oakland. [01:19:10] Bro, you really believe the camera. [01:19:11] Rodney King. [01:19:12] I'm just saying. [01:19:12] You really believe the cops. [01:19:13] They literally just said, oh, he didn't have a credential. [01:19:15] We all just saw a credential. [01:19:17] Beat the trial. [01:19:17] We have to say allegedly. [01:19:19] Keep that same and OG. [01:19:21] I don't believe cops as much as y'all. [01:19:23] See, I mean, I'm saying you're not keeping the same energy. [01:19:26] I'm not saying what I believe. [01:19:27] I don't really believe anything. [01:19:28] I just disagree with whatever everybody else believes. [01:19:30] The energy's been finals. [01:19:34] Is that midfinals? [01:19:36] There's a whole celebration happening on basketball. [01:19:38] Massive beats, cops. [01:19:40] It's payback. [01:19:41] I can't believe that shit, bro. [01:19:43] Rodney King didn't get beaten. [01:19:44] He got copy. [01:19:45] If that cop got punched by that rich motherfucker, do you think he would sit there on his fucking ass and not sue the fucking. [01:19:51] They want to call that shit the Oakland State Raptors after that shit. [01:19:54] Are you kidding me? [01:19:55] They sue the fucking pants over that motherfucker before they even got back to Toronto. [01:19:59] Oakland State Raptors. [01:20:00] Dude, he could. [01:20:01] I don't know. [01:20:02] It's not a state. [01:20:03] You know what the fuck I meant? [01:20:03] God damn it. [01:20:04] I just don't think he got punched. [01:20:06] He didn't look like he got punched. [01:20:07] If he did get punched, I don't want to. [01:20:09] He sue the fuck out of that. [01:20:10] Why can't we look at this as a major moment in civil rights history? [01:20:14] Because I need some proof. [01:20:16] I need some proof of true equality. [01:20:18] Why did it prove approaching cops and no punishment whatsoever? [01:20:25] I need proof. [01:20:25] This is magnificent. [01:20:26] I need proof. [01:20:28] Real talk. [01:20:29] This is an accomplishment. [01:20:30] This is what Martin was talking about. [01:20:31] This is what Malcolm was talking about. [01:20:33] What did Malcolm say? [01:20:34] You put your hand on me. [01:20:35] I put my hand on you or something. [01:20:37] You didn't put your hand in your pocket. [01:20:38] Something about pockets. [01:20:39] I don't know. [01:20:40] Listen, the point is he had an important thing about putting your hand in someone's pockets. [01:20:46] Point is this. [01:20:47] I have no idea what you're talking about. [01:20:49] I don't know. [01:20:49] Malcolm X. Good guy, man. [01:20:51] Good guy. [01:20:52] So, the point is, I think Messiah has really reached a milestone achievement in the United States of America. [01:20:57] He is wealthy enough to punch a cop in the face and not be punished because of it. [01:21:03] We should all be so happy that the United States as a country has reached this part of our history. [01:21:13] I mean, think about it. === Comedy Festival Tickets (04:24) === [01:21:14] This is amazing. [01:21:16] What are you talking about? [01:21:17] I'm telling you. [01:21:18] And we got black people acting like Trump supporters just looking the truth in the face and denying it. [01:21:23] Fact supporters. [01:21:24] Fake news. [01:21:24] You over here believe in cops on their word when they literally just show that they lied. [01:21:29] But I don't give a fuck. [01:21:30] I'm glad he got snuffed. [01:21:32] But he didn't. [01:21:33] If he got. [01:21:34] You show people that just come up with a cup. [01:21:36] There's 15,000 people in there. [01:21:38] Everybody. [01:21:38] I'm not going to do a podcast with Mandy. [01:21:41] Fuck out of here with that shit, dog. [01:21:43] Fuck out of here with that shit. [01:21:44] You over here believe in cops and call me a Trump supporter. [01:21:47] Fuck out of here, dog.

[01:25:57] Check it out. [01:25:58] Check that out. [01:25:58] Talking lots of sports shit on there. [01:26:01] And yeah, I think that's it. [01:26:03] I think that's it. [01:26:03] Donald DeSation had that. [01:26:05] That's about it, bro. [01:26:06] Yeah, for real. [01:26:07] Download that shit. [01:26:07] Okay, so let's get to okay. [01:26:10] Let's we could talk about the KD. [01:26:12] Yeah, let's talk about the KD. [01:26:13] I have a real quick finals question. [01:26:14] Just real quick, hypothetical. [01:26:15] Draymond, when he calls that timeout and they don't have any timeouts left, that's a technical, right? [01:26:20] If there was a game seven, would that be his seventh technical and would he have been suspended for that game? [01:26:25] I don't know. [01:26:26] If anybody knows, that's a question. [01:26:28] That's what I thought. [01:26:28] I thought if by some miracle they get this, isn't that his seventh technical? [01:26:32] I didn't know that you received a tech for that. [01:26:34] That's the Chris Weber. [01:26:36] He pulled the Chris Weber. [01:26:37] That's why Kawhi shot that free throw. [01:26:39] I remember I called, I said that. [01:26:41] Technically, would that go to the coach? [01:26:43] No, because he called the timeout. [01:26:44] Yeah, but I don't know if I don't, I don't know if it's a team technical or a personal technical. [01:26:50] But it was funny because he called that timeout. [01:26:52] I remember in that moment, I was like, them Michigan boys, bro. [01:26:56] I can't help them. [01:26:57] So the whole statement. [01:26:58] He was just paying homage, bro. [01:27:00] That's all he was doing. [01:27:01] Bullet State was in the blue and gold. [01:27:03] He knocked like he was in a Michigan Draymond Michigan. [01:27:06] Oh, state? [01:27:07] Yeah. [01:27:07] Yeah, but he's from Michigan. [01:27:09] Hang it all. [01:27:11] So anyway. [01:27:13] Okay, what were you saying, though, Kaz? [01:27:14] So what happens with KD? [01:27:16] What do you think he does? [01:27:17] I think KD, I think we know what's going to happen with KD. [01:27:23] KD is going to sign with the Knicks. [01:27:25] And can we back up a second? [01:27:30] Let's back up a second. [01:27:32] I got some to say. [01:27:33] I think we're on the same wavelength with this show. [01:27:35] I want to talk about how the Franks and Beans Knicks are going to do exactly what I said they were going to do in free agency and fuck it up. [01:27:45] Okay. [01:27:45] Fuck it up massively. [01:27:47] They lost out on Kyrie. [01:27:50] Thank God. [01:27:51] They are going to lose out on Kemba because the Lakers are doing a big, strong push for Kemba. [01:27:55] They lost out on AD. [01:27:57] KD, they lose out on because even if they do sign him, he's coming back from an Achilles. [01:28:02] He's out for a year. [01:28:02] And he's out for a year. [01:28:04] And who knows if he's even ever going to come back. [01:28:06] I remember you saying an Achilles injury, it literally changes the shape of the calf. [01:28:10] So you're never the same again. [01:28:12] Almost never the same. [01:28:13] Never the same again. [01:28:14] Now, was he a big leaper? [01:28:15] No. [01:28:16] He's bony, though. [01:28:18] What's more to change? [01:28:19] He doesn't have like massive calves. [01:28:20] He never had big calfs. [01:28:21] Sure, but at the same point in time, it's going to change the way that you play the game. [01:28:27] Does he have a game that can come back from it? [01:28:29] Sure. [01:28:29] But it's going to change the way you play the game. [01:28:32] And this would happen to the Knicks. [01:28:33] And the Knicks, what they constantly do is they forget that they are not. [01:28:39] They're a big market team with little market interest. [01:28:43] And they are like the hot chick that got fat. [01:28:45] And she's walking around not realizing she got fat because her tits are still big, right? [01:28:50] So she's getting attention for her tits. [01:28:52] But she don't realize. [01:28:54] We'll talk. [01:28:54] The Knicks are snooky, right? [01:28:56] You're a fat fucking girl, Nick's. [01:28:58] Knicks are fat. [01:28:59] From down here, you look hot. [01:29:00] Like looking at your own tits. [01:29:01] You are fucking hot. [01:29:03] Yeah, you get attention from a fucking delivery boy. [01:29:06] You get attention from some fucking people building on a, you know, on a building site, but you are not getting attention from the majors, but they don't realize that. [01:29:14] So they do not plan for the mid-level guys. [01:29:18] They're like, we're going to go after AD. [01:29:19] We're going to go after KD. [01:29:21] We're going to go after Kyrie. [01:29:23] You don't have the clout to get any of them. [01:29:27] Knicks, you are a piece of shit organization run by idiots. [01:29:31] Nobody wants to play for you. [01:29:33] So what you have to do is get what's left. [01:29:35] That's the best you could do is get what's left. [01:29:38] And your entire free agency strategy should be put towards getting what's left. [01:29:43] I think we might miss out on Chris Middleton. [01:29:46] I think there was a chance. [01:29:47] I was like, worst case scenario, but he might. [01:29:50] He might opt out and be unrestricted. [01:29:52] Yes. [01:29:52] Okay. [01:29:52] So I think the worst case scenario I was saying before was Chris Middleton, Tobias Harris. [01:29:57] I don't even know if we'll get Chris Middleton. [01:29:59] I truly don't believe we might get Tobias Harris and fucking whoever. [01:30:04] I don't know. [01:30:05] Honestly. [01:30:05] If you sign KD, you don't want Chris Middleton. [01:30:08] You tank for one more year with KD on ice. [01:30:11] You try to get another lottery pick. [01:30:14] Then you have, what's the guy that you think is going to be so good? [01:30:16] RJ Barrett. [01:30:17] R.J. Barrett in his second year when KD comes back. [01:30:19] You have another lottery pick, hopefully a high one ready to develop. [01:30:22] You sign KD, you put him on ice, you keep the tankathon going. [01:30:25] If you sign KD, do not fuck it up and sign Chris Middleton. [01:30:29] Anybody who will get you wins? [01:30:30] No. [01:30:31] Keep your salaries clear and tank one more year. [01:30:35] I got sources and I got scoops. [01:30:37] All right, go. [01:30:38] All right. [01:30:39] Just like I told you, the AD trade was happening this weekend, and it did. [01:30:44] KD is going to the Knicks. [01:30:48] Kyrie is going to the Nets. [01:30:50] KD's camp is trying to convince Kyrie to come to the Knicks. [01:30:54] Kyrie is trying to convince KD to come to the Knicks, to the Nets. [01:31:00] The hang up there was one, the injury. [01:31:02] If he didn't get injured, he'd have a better shot of convincing Kyrie to change his mind or whatever. [01:31:06] He bought a spot in Dumbo, had a spot in the Upper East Side. [01:31:09] Now, like, he's here. [01:31:10] He's basically picking between the two. [01:31:12] Secondly, the D'Angelo Russell thing. [01:31:15] The one thing that ever since, you know, news has gotten out that like, oh, I guess we're through D'Angelo Russell's camp, he pretty much leaked to the media through his people, like, hey, like, if you sign Kyrie, like, I ain't saying, you know, and people are in around Kyrie's camp are kind of wondering, do we want another fucking weird PR thing that you just left with the Celtics? [01:31:35] Like, they got this fun Brooklyn team led by this fun point guard. [01:31:39] We thought he was going to play together. [01:31:40] Like, that was Kyrie's plan. [01:31:41] Like, all right, well, we'll make it work together. [01:31:43] D'Angelo Russell's camp's like, nah. [01:31:45] Like, if y'all bringing him here, like, this is a one-year-old. [01:31:48] Kyrie don't make it work. [01:31:49] Kyrie ain't gonna make it work. [01:31:51] That's what D'Angelo is thinking. [01:31:53] So now, if KD's healthy, all right, Kyrie, we'll go to the Knicks. [01:31:58] We'll make it work. [01:31:59] Now, he's Kyrie. [01:32:00] Does Kyrie want to waste a year with the Knicks and bumming it? [01:32:03] And KD's not going to be available for another year. [01:32:05] So that's the whole hangup with everybody right now. [01:32:07] KD wants to be in New York. [01:32:10] That's his plan. [01:32:11] Kyrie wants to be in the Nets, but now his team is like, we don't know if he wants to go through the same bullshit he just wants through with Boston. [01:32:20] That's the only thing going on. [01:32:22] So what do we think is going to happen? [01:32:24] I think they get a stalemate. [01:32:26] I think Kyrie still goes to Brooklyn. [01:32:29] I think Katie goes to the Knicks. [01:32:32] I've heard two locations. [01:32:36] Well, three locations now. [01:32:38] Utah, Phoenix, and Indiana. [01:32:44] I would be interested in Utah and Indiana. [01:32:47] Utah, and I'm interested in Phoenix, actually. [01:32:49] No, no, Phoenix, it's too much already. [01:32:51] D'Angelo, Devin Booker, DeAndre Ayton, Kelly Oubre Jr. [01:32:55] That's a nice little young core. [01:32:56] Yeah, but you can't do D'Angelo and Booker? [01:32:59] Booker. [01:33:00] They're homies. [01:33:01] They can't play similar styles, it seems like. [01:33:03] It's just too many guys. [01:33:05] Pacers do interest me too. [01:33:07] If Old Deborah. [01:33:08] Pacers are interesting. [01:33:09] Old Debo. [01:33:09] But Old Debo needs the rock in order to be effective. [01:33:12] No, he could be a good, he's a really good two guard. [01:33:14] Because when he was, I'm not saying he can't play good too, but he needs the ball in his hands. [01:33:18] D'Angelo needs a ball in his hands. [01:33:19] Without the ball in his hands, he can't help us too. [01:33:21] Right. [01:33:21] Right. [01:33:22] So he's not going to be just a spot up shooter. [01:33:24] He needs to be able to create. [01:33:25] I agree. [01:33:25] So I think if you believe in a guy like him, he's like shitty Kemba. [01:33:29] So if you believe in a guy like him, you got to build around him. [01:33:33] And you got to get guys who need someone who can create and then dish and then hit. [01:33:37] I put shooters around him. [01:33:38] That's what I, I mean, the Nets were doing pretty well. [01:33:41] Yeah. [01:33:42] I would have rocked that boat with something like Kyrie. [01:33:44] That's my thing. [01:33:45] I would never rock that. [01:33:46] That's my thing. [01:33:46] If I'm Brooklyn, like, do I really want Kyrie? [01:33:49] If you're going after Kyrie, you're basically saying like, I just want to steal headlines from the Knicks and we're just going after marquee names because we want to be the team in New York City. [01:33:57] You know how you beat the team in New York City? [01:33:59] Win. [01:33:59] Make the playoffs. [01:34:00] Win games. [01:34:00] Wins up the game. [01:34:01] It's that easy. [01:34:02] New York, we are desperate for a winner. [01:34:05] You know how quickly Knicks fans will shift our focus to the Nets? [01:34:08] Oh, you know how quickly that will happen if the Nets actually win? [01:34:11] And you know what? [01:34:12] They deserve it. [01:34:12] Just because I'm a Knicks fan. [01:34:14] Don't mean I ain't going to Brooklyn Nets playoff games. [01:34:16] Let's be honest. [01:34:17] Shacks. [01:34:18] And you know what? [01:34:19] We right there, the Subway's right there. [01:34:20] Everything is convenient. [01:34:22] It is convenient to become a Nets fan. [01:34:25] It is convenient to become a Nets fan. [01:34:28] And all they got to do is start winning. [01:34:29] And all the Knicks got to do is keep disrespecting us, keep spitting on our face, keep not doing anything to become a winning team. [01:34:37] Keep rehiring the same dumbasses that make the fucked up Franks and Beans decisions that got us here in the first place. [01:34:43] They're making good decisions, bro. [01:34:44] What? [01:34:45] I think they're making good decisions. [01:34:46] Name one. [01:34:46] They cleared the cap. [01:34:47] They cleared the cap. [01:34:49] They got a pretty good pick. [01:34:51] They've been drafting well. [01:34:52] They drafted well last year. [01:34:53] They got some really good second round and undrafted guys. [01:34:56] Like, they have basketball minds there. [01:34:58] They don't have like old fucking yesteryear guys like Donnie Walsh and fucking the guy from the Pacers and all these other dudes. [01:35:05] Like they got some young dudes in there that are that are player friendly. [01:35:08] Like people love Fizz. [01:35:09] People love, what's the other dude's name? [01:35:11] I love wins. [01:35:12] I do too. [01:35:13] I want to win. [01:35:14] I do too. [01:35:14] And the Knicks can't do that. [01:35:15] The Knicks sucked last year. [01:35:16] Say whatever you want about Fizz, but he can't take a bunch of guys and make them win. [01:35:20] We'll see. [01:35:21] That's what I'm saying. [01:35:22] In fairness to Fizz, who I think is a little overrated, but in fairness to him, they wanted him to lose last year. [01:35:28] That was the active goal. [01:35:29] And I think they should do it again next year. [01:35:31] And I agree with you on that. [01:35:32] There's an argument to be made about it, but our patience is running thin. [01:35:36] As a Knicks fan, our patience is running thin. [01:35:38] And you have a hot, new, sexy team that's in Brooklyn, and wait for it. [01:35:41] Wait for it. [01:35:42] You have a hot, new, sexy team that's in Brooklyn, right? [01:35:45] And the city of New York, Manhattan, has already priced out all of its residents. [01:35:51] That's what I was going to say. [01:35:52] It's barely affordable for us to live here. [01:35:54] You disrespect us with these high rents. [01:35:56] You disrespect us with these high prices. [01:35:59] You disrespect us with these high ticket prices. [01:36:01] Everything about going to a Knicks game is disrespectful. [01:36:04] So you're not even going to play the starters, right? [01:36:06] You're going to lose on purpose. [01:36:07] You're going to charge me just as much for the ticket. [01:36:10] You're going to overcharge me like crazy on any food, anything like that. [01:36:13] There's no fucking parking, nothing around there. [01:36:15] And if it is, it's $40, $50. [01:36:17] Fuck you. [01:36:18] None of this has to do with battle. [01:36:19] Fuck you. [01:36:20] Yeah. [01:36:21] Oh, don't even get me into basketball. [01:36:23] That's the most disrespectful part of it. [01:36:25] Listen, I the most. [01:36:26] So the Nets come over here and start cooking. [01:36:29] You think for a second I'm not going to look over there? [01:36:31] It's like your girl not giving you no pussy. [01:36:33] And then some fine pussy right across the river over there is asking to suck your dick. [01:36:37] I'm getting my dick sucked. [01:36:39] I don't care if it's by D'Angelo, Kyrie, whoever's sucking Lavert, whoever's sucking dick over there, I'm coming over to get it suck. [01:36:47] So you better step it up, Dolan. [01:36:49] Dolan got the ball to walk into the garden with four model bitches living his best life while the rest of us starving out here. [01:36:58] And a guy goes, you suck as owner and then gets booted for life? [01:37:03] You suck his owner. [01:37:05] You suck his owner. [01:37:07] Fuck you. [01:37:08] I honestly think the guy that I honestly think the Knicks are doing what they're supposed to do. [01:37:14] Lose. [01:37:15] They did that last year. [01:37:16] They'll probably do it again this year. [01:37:18] I do think this is what they needed to do. [01:37:19] But it is also funny that you're still fucked up. [01:37:22] Like, I don't know how you did it. [01:37:24] What did they do wrong? [01:37:25] Because you're going to sign KD off of Torne Achilles. [01:37:27] We don't know if he's going to be the same. [01:37:29] You have to. [01:37:29] This is the movie. [01:37:31] Sure. [01:37:32] But I don't think it works out. [01:37:33] I still think you're going to end up getting fucked because you did all this for one guy and then he tore his fucking Achilles in the last game he played. [01:37:41] Terrible look. [01:37:41] And now you're going to sign him. [01:37:42] And I don't know if you're like, he'll be good. [01:37:44] I don't know if he'll be the same. [01:37:45] He won't be the same, but I'm really. [01:37:47] And I'm telling you, I really like RJ Barrow. [01:37:48] You have to hear this point. [01:37:50] This idea that you guys have of getting to the playoffs and winning a round or two is going to be amazing. [01:37:53] It will be, but that shit gets old quick. [01:37:56] Real quick. [01:37:57] It becomes about championships real fucking quick. [01:38:01] I totally understand that, but I have lived through every Knicks quick fix that there possibly could be. [01:38:09] I'm totally cool with building around young, talented guys, getting actual talented players, not some fucking international dude I've never heard of before. [01:38:18] A guy like RJ who's very good. [01:38:19] A guy like Kevin Knox who could be very good. [01:38:21] Dennis Smith Jr. is good. [01:38:23] Like these are good. [01:38:25] Mitchell Robinson is good. [01:38:26] These are good young players. [01:38:28] If you still got cap room and you got fucking a year of KD to maybe come back, like, yeah, you're right. [01:38:34] Playoff Series one or two, that's fine. [01:38:36] But I'm cool with that other than fucking swing for defense, get two free agents, and now you're in the Lakers situation where it's like a shit. [01:38:42] If you charge Kyrie, it'll backfire hard. [01:38:44] You get Kyrie, Katie and Kyrie. [01:38:47] It ain't gonna work. [01:38:47] Fuck the Knicks. [01:38:48] Fuck Sarah. [01:38:49] Let's move on. [01:38:50] Fuck the Knicks. [01:38:52] Let's move on. [01:38:52] We got a lot of relevant tasks. [01:38:53] I just want to talk about the Lakers, okay? [01:38:55] So, all right. [01:38:57] Here's the situation right now with this AD trade. [01:39:01] I want to talk about how the Lakers fleeced New Orleans. [01:39:05] I've never seen a more one-sided trade in my entire life. [01:39:08] This is crazy. [01:39:08] Fleeced New Orleans, okay? [01:39:11] Brandon Ingram, dog shit. [01:39:13] We've been saying he has potential. [01:39:15] He can score. [01:39:15] He's great. [01:39:16] This, that, the other for years. [01:39:17] He can't. [01:39:18] He's not that good. [01:39:19] He can't get a shot off. [01:39:20] He's big. [01:39:20] He looks the part, but he doesn't play the part. [01:39:22] He's the new Darius Miles. [01:39:23] It ain't going to work out. [01:39:24] Wow. [01:39:24] Number two. [01:39:25] Wow. [01:39:25] Number two. [01:39:27] Okay. [01:39:27] Who else are they sending over? [01:39:28] Josh Hart. [01:39:29] Lonzo. [01:39:29] No, no. [01:39:29] We're going to save Lonzo. [01:39:30] Josh Hart. [01:39:32] Good player. [01:39:33] Solid. [01:39:34] He ain't going to change the franchise, but he's going to be fine. [01:39:35] He's fine. [01:39:36] He's fine. [01:39:36] But we can get a 6-2 guy who can shoot threes anywhere. [01:39:39] I can pick that up from 4th Street if I want to. [01:39:41] Easy to replace, right? [01:39:43] Who else is in the trade? [01:39:45] Lonzo. [01:39:46] Anybody else? [01:39:46] Any other players? [01:39:47] Those are. [01:39:47] Okay. [01:39:48] And then now we have Lonzo and three picks. [01:39:50] Now, Lonzo is the only one that I see could be potentially transcendent player. [01:39:54] Okay. [01:39:54] So you really traded for Lonzo and then these three picks. [01:39:58] Now, these three picks, all going to be dog shit. [01:40:01] Why? [01:40:01] Because now the Lakers are good. [01:40:02] Now they have a number four pick. [01:40:04] This year's number four pick, right? [01:40:05] In a two-person draft, they got the number four pick. [01:40:08] Three-person draft. [01:40:09] Let's hope it's three-person because, you know, I still got a little nicks, but we know it's two-person. [01:40:12] And so they have the fourth pick and a draft that has two players. [01:40:15] So dog shit, right? [01:40:16] So you have a dog shit pick. [01:40:18] You have two dog shit players. === Pick Swaps and Zion (15:59) === [01:40:20] Then you have three later picks, right? [01:40:23] Which are all going to be dog shit because now the Lakers are good. [01:40:26] So you really traded AD for Lonzo straight up. [01:40:30] That's really what ended up happening here. [01:40:32] The only thing the Lakers really lost was Lonzo's potential. [01:40:37] No, no, that's worse trade for the amazing trade for the Lakers. [01:40:41] Amazing trade for the Lakers. [01:40:42] But for New Orleans, I don't understand how you possibly can. [01:40:44] I think they both won. [01:40:45] I think this is the rare trade where both teams got winning. [01:40:49] I don't see it as I think they both won, bro. [01:40:50] I'm not as on your side, but I'm not. [01:40:53] I don't think they're. [01:40:54] What did they get? [01:40:54] They got options for pick swaps. [01:40:56] All right. [01:40:56] There's certain years where you can flip what if they like where the Lakers are picking a draft, like those are our picks. [01:41:02] So for the next seven years, this pick, the next three first-round picks, and they have two pick swaps after that. [01:41:10] So if they could do what essentially the Boston Celtics used to do when Brooklyn Nets got a nice pick, oh, that's a nice pick. [01:41:15] We'll take that from you. [01:41:16] That turns into Jason Tatum. [01:41:17] That turns into Jalen Brown. [01:41:19] So let me ask you a question. [01:41:20] What are the chances that the Lakers are going to have dog shit picks in the near future when you have LeBron James? [01:41:25] When you have dog shit picks, meaning sorry, really good picks. [01:41:28] When you have LeBron James, AD, and another Marquee free agent coming this year. [01:41:32] Might not get another Marquee free agent. [01:41:34] He got a couple good years of LeBron left, maybe three. [01:41:36] And then after that. [01:41:37] Anthony Davis has not proven to be very healthy all the time. [01:41:40] After Athens, Pelican LeBron. [01:41:41] They just had him, and they are now picking number one. [01:41:43] Right. [01:41:44] So after LeBron, after the LeBron legacy, you have the AD legacy that's going to continue, right? [01:41:50] And you're going to have new guys that you sign around the Lakers with AD. [01:41:55] All I'm trying to say is the Lakers are poised to have very bad first-round picks for the next seven years if they want to. [01:42:02] So they gave up their potentially very bad first-round picks. [01:42:06] So what do you think they're picking for? [01:42:08] For AD, sorry? [01:42:09] You think they're picking number 30 every year? [01:42:11] Because I don't think that's happening. [01:42:12] They're picking late 20s. [01:42:13] They may be in the early, late 20s. [01:42:15] Late 20s. [01:42:16] I don't know. [01:42:17] Late 20s. [01:42:18] And when you pick late 20s, that means you pick early second round, right? [01:42:20] So they keep their second round because it flips, right? [01:42:23] So they keep their second round picks, right? [01:42:26] Which are all going to be good second round picks. [01:42:29] So they're going to get the best players possible in the second round and then give up the dog shit in the first round anyway. [01:42:34] I mean, really, realistically speaking, do you think the player that goes 28 is that different than the player that goes three in the second round? [01:42:40] Who could have offered something better? [01:42:41] You got to have a lot of. [01:42:43] I say wait. [01:42:44] I always say wait until the all-star break. [01:42:46] Like something will come up. [01:42:47] I kind of like that strategy. [01:42:49] I think Despurs could have waited on Kawhi. [01:42:52] I think if you got a star. [01:42:53] Matter of fact, the most not lopsided superstar trade I've ever seen is the Nuggets for Mellow. [01:42:59] And they just waited. [01:43:00] They were like, look, we'll wait. [01:43:01] We know where he wants to go. [01:43:02] I want to call that up. [01:43:03] You're going to get impatient. [01:43:04] That was a good trade for who? [01:43:06] For Denver. [01:43:07] Yeah. [01:43:07] Yeah, for Denver. [01:43:09] Yeah. [01:43:09] We're talking about what's going on. [01:43:12] You're the team that has a star who wants to leave. [01:43:13] Just wait. [01:43:14] I'm in no fucking hurry. [01:43:16] I don't care. [01:43:17] I will wait you out. [01:43:19] Maybe this is my Indian negotiation skills talking. [01:43:21] I don't need them. [01:43:22] I'm in no rush. [01:43:23] I want the deal. [01:43:24] I like that. [01:43:25] Matter of fact, last all-star break, they were offering all this and Kuzma. [01:43:29] And I think another first-round pick. [01:43:30] I think a fourth. [01:43:31] If you got Kuzma as well in this deal, I feel a little bit better because Kuzma that much better than Brandon. [01:43:36] He's flippable. [01:43:37] No, they both suck, but he's put up 18 a game. [01:43:40] He doesn't suck. [01:43:40] He's not this transcendent Kevin Durant type talent, but he doesn't suck. [01:43:44] Kuzma's got more potential because we have seen less years of him not living up to. [01:43:50] Also, he had no expectation whatsoever, and now he's exceeding. [01:43:53] Brandon Ingram were like, this is the next KD. [01:43:55] And he's turning out to be the next Darius Miles. [01:43:57] He's already better than Derris Miles over the game. [01:43:59] No, he's not. [01:43:59] Yes, he is. [01:44:00] I don't think so. [01:44:00] He's averaging 18 a game. [01:44:01] Darren Siles never averages even closer to that. [01:44:03] Brandon Ingram's not averaging. [01:44:03] He just had a nice taunt and some dunks. [01:44:05] Brandon Ingram not averaging an 18 a game. [01:44:07] Eden, please look it up. [01:44:08] He's averaging an 18 a game. [01:44:09] You have to go to NBA.com and see 20 stats or ESPN player signals. [01:44:15] I'm sure Chris is going to do a better job. [01:44:16] You could say dude sucks, but it's like, yo, 18 a game, like that's that's nothing to sneeze at. [01:44:20] You got Zion Williamson coming in. [01:44:21] You got Lonzo Ball, who's like the perfect point guard to play with a guy like Zion Williams. [01:44:25] I don't think he is. [01:44:25] Why not? [01:44:26] Because everybody's so excited about this Zion Williamson, Lonzo Ball connection, right? [01:44:31] Neither of them can shoot. [01:44:32] You know how easy it is to stop the pick and roll when you don't have to worry about either party shooting? [01:44:36] You just come under. [01:44:38] I beg Lonzo. [01:44:40] I beg Lonzo to shoot in the pick and roll. [01:44:43] Now, Zion, what happens if Zion rolls out and you give him that corner foul line jumper? [01:44:47] Give it to him. [01:44:48] I'm not worried about it. [01:44:48] He said he's taking foul line jumpers. [01:44:49] He's a freaking nature. [01:44:52] My point is: so we have the pick and roll. [01:44:53] The idea, he's saying the ideal pick and roll partner for Zion is a Steve Nash point guard. [01:44:58] Steve Nash, I dare you to come under. [01:45:00] Okay. [01:45:00] I dare you to come under that pick and roll with Steve Nash. [01:45:03] I'm lighting you up. [01:45:03] But there's other plays, man. [01:45:05] Like, if you've seen Lonzo play, like, he's a guy who gets the ball and runs in transition. [01:45:09] And Zion's a guy who runs in transition. [01:45:11] Keep in mind, Lonzo can only go one way in the pick and roll. [01:45:15] He can't go right on the pick and roll. [01:45:17] 18 a game. [01:45:19] Five rebounds, three. [01:45:20] Solid, solid. [01:45:21] Yeah. [01:45:21] Like, that's a good pickup. [01:45:23] Solid, solid. [01:45:24] I can't handle it. [01:45:25] I just don't think he's as good as people think he is, but solid. [01:45:29] Yeah, I remember people didn't want to trade him for Kawhi, and I was like, you guys are fucking returning. [01:45:33] But real quick, like the Celtics are going to kick themselves for not trading Jalen Brown and the Sacramento pickfully. [01:45:38] Zion Lonzo, right? [01:45:39] Pick and roll. [01:45:40] Now, Lonzo has this thing where he shoots coming up the left side. [01:45:43] So he actually can't go, he can't go around the pick right and then pull up as he's going right. [01:45:49] Yeah. [01:45:50] He can go beautifully left because he's actually shooting away from the defender. [01:45:54] But if he comes around right, he's actually fighting his own momentum to get the shot off. [01:46:00] So he's limited in his ability to operate the pickup. [01:46:02] He also got Drew Holly there, too. [01:46:04] I love Drew. [01:46:05] Who might be. [01:46:05] I am a fan. [01:46:06] He's flippable. [01:46:07] If you're rebuilding, Drew can get you something. [01:46:09] I think so. [01:46:10] And he can get you something on a team that's like almost there. [01:46:13] Who needs that? [01:46:13] Like, he's a guy you put on, I don't know. [01:46:17] I don't know. [01:46:17] The Bucks. [01:46:18] Maybe. [01:46:20] Yo, Bucks, Lakers, ready? [01:46:21] Wait for it. [01:46:22] The Warriors. [01:46:24] The Warriors need some score. [01:46:25] And they need some defense behind Steph. [01:46:28] I can see that. [01:46:29] I can see that. [01:46:29] I mean, I don't know who has assets that you would want anything from, but like, yeah, he's a guy. [01:46:33] And I also don't know how many years he got left on his fat ass deal. [01:46:36] He did get a fat deal. [01:46:37] That was crazy. [01:46:38] But he's good. [01:46:39] So we didn't really talk about what this means for the Lakers, though, this trade. [01:46:43] Oh, yeah. [01:46:44] Well, real quick, I just want to address because we'll move away from New Orleans and just go Lakers. [01:46:50] You know who's got to be kicking himself right now? [01:46:53] LeVar Ball. [01:46:55] Because he drank the Kool-Aid, right? [01:46:58] He said, okay, I'm going to be quiet. [01:47:00] I'm going to play along with LeBron's plan. [01:47:02] I guarantee he was given assurances. [01:47:04] I guarantee they said, hey, Lonzo's not going anywhere. [01:47:07] You just got to be quiet and let us do this. [01:47:10] And he said, okay, I'm going to be quiet. [01:47:12] I'm going to go along with the corporate way. [01:47:14] I'm going to go along with the corporate system. [01:47:16] Come on with it. [01:47:18] And what happened? [01:47:19] They traded his son's ass in a fucking heartbeat. [01:47:22] Realistically, though, what could he have done? [01:47:23] If he spoke up and LeBron was like, get this guy the fuck out of here, they're getting him the fuck out of here. [01:47:27] I think, I really do believe that when he speaks up, better things happen for his kids. [01:47:35] I think when he is quiet, worse things happen for his kids. [01:47:38] I think when he speaks up, he controls the narrative of his kid. [01:47:40] I think when he speaks up, he can go, listen, when my kid's in the game, he's averaging 10 sets a game. [01:47:45] LeBron's playing better. [01:47:47] Everybody's playing better. [01:47:48] Without my kid, this team wouldn't even be doing anything. [01:47:51] He's the most important player, and it's whatever it is. [01:47:53] And then all of a sudden, when trade talks start to happen, the LA people go, trade Lonzo, but everybody's playing better with Lonzo. [01:48:01] Why would you? [01:48:01] He shut up and his kid got shipped out to New Orleans. [01:48:05] And the problem now is for New Orleans because LeVar is not going to shut up over there. [01:48:09] He is going to be the loudest mouthpiece the NBA has ever seen. [01:48:12] And I cannot wait. [01:48:13] It's going to be great. [01:48:14] I can't wait for Big Baller, Big Baller Brand for the part two in New Orleans and the Big Easy Baller brand. [01:48:21] Oh, I love it. [01:48:23] I can't wait for it, bro. [01:48:24] I can't wait for it. [01:48:25] I think New Orleans, I think the Policy is going to be fun, man. [01:48:27] I think if I was them, I'll take that fourth pick, flip it for somebody, try and get like Bradley Beale with somebody. [01:48:33] Everybody's trying to replicate the Celtics thing, which is assets. [01:48:35] That's why the three first-round draft picks are big. [01:48:38] That's why these guys, the pick swaps or whatever, like it's just assets. [01:48:42] We just want a war chest. [01:48:43] Now, the problem with threatening that needle, man, is the Celtics might have missed their window. [01:48:49] They stockpiled all the assets. [01:48:51] They called the ball. [01:48:51] Kawaii is out there. [01:48:53] Kawhi, we don't know. [01:48:54] Jalen Brown and the Sacramento pick probably would have gotten it done. [01:48:57] And they're like, well, I don't know. [01:48:58] We got this kid. [01:48:59] He's good. [01:49:00] Let's just sit it out. [01:49:01] And now you're fucked. [01:49:02] Let's make the trade. [01:49:03] The entire league called the Boston Celtics bluff. [01:49:06] They're like, you're not going to trade any of this shit. [01:49:09] And on top of that, it didn't help out. [01:49:11] What do you mean? [01:49:11] Explain that more? [01:49:12] I'm talking about how they stockpiled all these assets. [01:49:14] And they were looking at Danny Age like this fucking guru. [01:49:17] GM guru genius or whatever. [01:49:19] I was too. [01:49:21] We all did. [01:49:21] We all did. [01:49:22] Like, we looked at them. [01:49:23] We looked at all the high first-round picks they had, the cap space, and the fucking star players that they already had. [01:49:29] We're like, these guys are going to be good for another 10, 15 years. [01:49:31] And they still might be. [01:49:32] But you kind of missed out on the treasure chest of free agents right now. [01:49:37] You don't have the money to go out and get any of these guys because Kyrie's about to leave. [01:49:41] And, you know, you're kind of sitting there with your dick in your hand next summer because who's left? [01:49:45] Anthony Davis? [01:49:46] That's the thing they gambled. [01:49:47] He's going to resign. [01:49:48] They gambled on the wrong player. [01:49:49] They gambled on Kyrie. [01:49:50] Yeah. [01:49:50] Kyrie's not a guy you gamble on, man. [01:49:52] I'm telling you this as a guy. [01:49:53] We just watched this happen. [01:49:54] You just watched this. [01:49:55] They gambled on Kyrie. [01:49:55] Kyrie's like, no, I'm not staying. [01:49:57] I'm out. [01:49:57] So they said, okay, we took our gamble on Kyrie. [01:49:59] Kawhi is hurt. [01:50:00] Let's not take that gamble. [01:50:01] Kawhi is the gamble you take. [01:50:03] Ah, okay, okay. [01:50:05] Now I'm putting it together. [01:50:06] To me, you gamble on Kawhi just because I saw his ceiling, and that's why I had him picked two years ago to win MVP when he, because you've seen Kawhi's ceiling. [01:50:13] It destroys other teams. [01:50:14] That motherfucker, Thanos, I said Thanos earlier, he Thanos. [01:50:18] Whatever your best Avengers are, bring them on. [01:50:19] I got him. [01:50:20] Right. [01:50:21] Kyrie's just a guy who's a really good second fiddle. [01:50:24] He's a really good second fiddle. [01:50:26] That's it. [01:50:26] I don't want to take a risk on a really good second fiddle. [01:50:29] Let me swing for the fences on the number one motherfucker. [01:50:31] Right. [01:50:31] And then take, we'll see what the second fiddle is. [01:50:34] You know what it is? [01:50:35] They saw what Isaiah Thomas did. [01:50:37] Did you see the latest Avengers? [01:50:38] Yeah, yeah. [01:50:40] Thanos loses. [01:50:43] Yeah. [01:50:43] But who else am I going to pick? [01:50:45] He's Iron Man. [01:50:46] Just sacrifices himself. [01:50:48] Who also loses. [01:50:49] He also dies. [01:50:51] You got to go as Scarlet Witch or whatever that cunt's name is. [01:50:55] I think they saw what Isaiah Thomas did for that Boston Celtics team. [01:50:59] They were like, oh, Kyrie's better than him. [01:51:01] This should clearly get us over the hump. [01:51:03] And conventional wisdom tells you that that might have worked, but like Kyrie's, you know, he's not all there sometimes. [01:51:09] I think that's exactly what it was. [01:51:11] And I, to be honest with you, I think that's exactly what Toronto felt. [01:51:15] They're like, DeRosan is getting us here. [01:51:19] Kawhi is getting us. [01:51:21] He'll get us over the hump. [01:51:22] And he did. [01:51:22] And he did. [01:51:23] And it was, and I think it might be hard for us to tell what a diva Kyrie was when he was with Cleveland. [01:51:33] Yeah, because he was under Dad Bron. [01:51:35] He was under Dad Bron. [01:51:36] Yeah. [01:51:37] Dad Bron wasn't taking that shit. [01:51:38] I was just thought, as in terms of the game, like a guy who can control the game defensively, what's the term he always used? [01:51:45] Shut the water off? [01:51:46] Kawhi can shut the water off and turn the water off on your other team's best player. [01:51:49] Yeah, yeah. [01:51:49] Kyrie don't have that potential. [01:51:51] Sure, but neither did Isaiah. [01:51:53] I think that's what Kaz is trying to say is if they went that far with IT. [01:51:57] Okay. [01:51:57] Okay. [01:51:57] Just upgrade that one position. [01:51:59] Okay. [01:52:00] And I think when we lock down everybody. [01:52:02] Yeah, we have a hurt IT. [01:52:04] We have Haldi Kyrie, who's already got championship experience. [01:52:08] Bring him on board. [01:52:09] This is how we cross the hump or what is it called? [01:52:11] Kiddo? [01:52:12] Get over the hump. [01:52:12] Get over the hump. [01:52:13] Which is reasonable. [01:52:13] I think that was a smart decision. [01:52:15] Yeah. [01:52:15] I mean, you make the trade. [01:52:16] I get it. [01:52:17] I guess that's just how thin the margin is then. [01:52:20] That thin thing, dude. [01:52:21] Who would have thought before this season that DeMar DeRosen was that much worse than Kawhi? [01:52:30] That much? [01:52:32] That much? [01:52:33] I would have told you that. [01:52:34] I thought. [01:52:35] Son, I picked it up. [01:52:36] Not me. [01:52:37] I think they would go to the finals as soon as they got Kawhi. [01:52:40] I just remembered Kawhi shutting down Peak LeBron. [01:52:43] And I will never. [01:52:44] We all picked him to go to the finals. [01:52:45] Yeah, I said I think that'd beat the Warriors. [01:52:48] No, you said the Warriors were going to lose, but you didn't think that they would be. [01:52:52] I said, if they play the Warriors in the finals, I think they can beat him. [01:52:55] Oh, you didn't even think the Warriors were going to the finals. [01:52:58] I think I, I don't know. [01:52:59] I don't know when. [01:53:00] I just didn't see them winning. [01:53:01] But I said, if they play the Warriors in the finals, I think, because Kawhi can do that. [01:53:03] Right, right. [01:53:05] It was only one three quarters of basketball whenever we saw him against the peak Warriors. [01:53:09] Just fucking wrecking shop. [01:53:10] Right, right, right, right. [01:53:11] I just saw that potential. [01:53:15] I thought he was a little bit better than Jamar DeRosen. [01:53:19] My only hang up, I agree with you on that. [01:53:22] My only hang-up was the injury. [01:53:23] Yeah, the injury. [01:53:24] I didn't know if he was, I don't know if he was going to be back to Pete Kawhi again. [01:53:27] And he was, for the most part. [01:53:29] I mean. [01:53:30] Load management. [01:53:32] He's fucking real. [01:53:34] So Lakers, what does this mean for them? [01:53:38] Are they the favorite now? [01:53:40] Yeah. [01:53:41] He's that good, man. [01:53:43] I hated on AD until I saw him play in the playoffs. [01:53:45] He's that good. [01:53:47] He's great for LeBron, too. [01:53:49] He's the perfect LeBron teammate. [01:53:51] Is he perfect for LeBron? [01:53:52] Talk to me about that. [01:53:53] I'm trying to wrap my head around why he is the perfect LeBron teammate. [01:53:56] I'm speaking mentally, not basketball. [01:53:58] Oh, yeah, yeah. [01:53:59] He suck out too. [01:54:00] He's fucking fantastically talented, and he's never going to challenge LeBron for Alpha Dunks. [01:54:04] Okay, but let's talk about on the court. [01:54:05] Why is he the perfect? [01:54:07] If you're a LeBron James teammate, you need to be able to shoot good. [01:54:10] Okay. [01:54:11] Good shooting. [01:54:11] You need to be able to protect the paint. [01:54:13] You need to be able to finish around the rim. [01:54:16] You need to be able to take a lot of the shit that comes with paint with LeBron James. [01:54:21] And Anthony Davis checks all the boards by himself. [01:54:24] Okay, real quick. [01:54:24] By himself. [01:54:25] He's Kevin Love and JaVail McGee and Tristan Thompson and Kyrie Irving all in one. [01:54:32] He is Kevin Love and Trison Thompson. [01:54:34] He's Kevin Love and Tristram Thompson with like with like Wade mentality. [01:54:39] Yeah. [01:54:39] You know what I mean? [01:54:40] Like he's the perfect LeBron teammate. [01:54:42] So how do they speak that? [01:54:44] He can spread the court. [01:54:45] But how? [01:54:47] How do they position that offense? [01:54:48] Well, is LeBron playing point? [01:54:51] No, I don't think LeBron pays point, but I do think Anthony Davis spreads the floor as much as you don't, you don't want to make him like a Kevin Love just playing. [01:54:59] I'm asking specifically, where do you put him? [01:55:02] LeBron? [01:55:03] No. [01:55:03] AD? [01:55:04] Yeah. [01:55:04] Because LeBron's going to have the ball. [01:55:05] Center. [01:55:06] No, I know he's going to play center, but where on the floor? [01:55:08] Is he going to be in the win? [01:55:09] Like he stretch five? [01:55:11] Because here's the thing. [01:55:11] With LeBron, you can't have AD on the block, right? [01:55:15] Because if he's on the block, it's going to clog up that lane and LeBron wants to get there unaffected. [01:55:19] I don't know, bro. [01:55:20] Like, the great thing about AD is like, you can literally put him anywhere. [01:55:23] So where do you put him? [01:55:24] Everywhere. [01:55:24] So here's my question. [01:55:25] Put him everywhere. [01:55:27] So check this. [01:55:27] Do you go pick and roll up top with LeBron and AD? [01:55:32] Because no matter if they switch, LeBron has a center on his heels. [01:55:37] If they don't switch, if they switch and then the ball goes to AD, AD's got whatever power flows of LeBron coming around the corner. [01:55:47] It's unfucking. [01:55:48] I think you go pick and roll with them up top. [01:55:50] And you do that a lot. [01:55:51] You definitely do that a lot. [01:55:52] But at the same time, you always want to, and another factor for that teammate, you got to be somebody who takes gravity away from LeBron. [01:55:59] You got to be somebody like Wade who like, Braun aside, I still go get you 25. [01:56:04] Right. [01:56:05] Kyrie aside, I could still go get you 25. [01:56:07] Right. [01:56:08] Like, he is a guy. [01:56:10] I forgot what. [01:56:11] He had a stretch of games this year. [01:56:13] We had like 53, 46, 50, like stupid fucking numbers against on the Pelicans. === Jokic Value and Team Flow (13:35) === [01:56:20] And it's like, he is, LeBron is, and Wade and Irving were great talents. [01:56:26] He'll never play with a player than Anthony Davis. [01:56:30] Okay. [01:56:31] So does LeBron finally have someone on his team where if LeBron goes to the bench, the team can score? [01:56:37] Absolutely. [01:56:38] That wasn't that way with Kyrie. [01:56:40] Kyrie couldn't get fucking buckets when LeBron went to the basket. [01:56:44] That's why, to me, that's why you don't go for another max free agent. [01:56:47] I think you build a team around them. [01:56:48] I agree. [01:56:49] But he's got a guy who, not only that, when LeBron sits out games to rest, they can still win. [01:56:54] Remember the teams were always like one and infinite without LeBron? [01:56:57] That's a great point. [01:56:58] Okay, so now you get to do load management with LeBron as he gets older. [01:57:02] Very important. [01:57:03] He essentially did load management with AD this year. [01:57:05] Like he didn't play a fucking time. [01:57:06] 100%. [01:57:07] So here's another question. [01:57:09] As we start to build the team around AD and LeBron, obviously we need shooters. [01:57:14] Listen, getting a guy like Chris Middleton, that'd be big. [01:57:18] But you're going to have to pay. [01:57:19] Do you look for a guy like JJ Reddick? [01:57:21] Oh, absolutely. [01:57:22] You bring a JJ in? [01:57:24] Yeah, JJ's great for LeBron. [01:57:26] Yeah. [01:57:26] You see what he did with Embiid? [01:57:27] He put up career numbers. [01:57:28] And Andy Davis is better than Embiid. [01:57:30] And so is LeMran. [01:57:31] And LeBron is better than Jimmy Butler and Benzeman. [01:57:34] So do you get a guy like JJ and then pay him a lot and do like one years? [01:57:38] Yeah. [01:57:39] You pay him like the 15 million and do a year. [01:57:41] You go get Danny Green. [01:57:43] Get Danny Green. [01:57:44] Get JJ Reddick. [01:57:45] Danny's legs are done, man. [01:57:46] He looked horrible in the series. [01:57:47] But do you go get those shooters? [01:57:49] You go get those role-playing. [01:57:51] Do you even get a Kyle fucking whatever? [01:57:54] Corver, yeah. [01:57:55] Oh, he'll go play with LeBron for free. [01:57:57] In a second. [01:57:58] Wokebay, Kyle Corver. [01:57:59] Absolutely. [01:58:00] Comes to the Lakers. [01:58:02] So you need, what, two or three of these guys? [01:58:05] You know what they did last year when they signed LeBron and they got a bunch of pieces? [01:58:08] You get less crazy pieces. [01:58:11] You know what I mean? [01:58:11] Like they got fucking head cases, but you just go get pieces again. [01:58:15] LeBron, you can build him a complete team. [01:58:18] You still don't have a coach, which is wild, but you can build him a complete team. [01:58:21] You got a fucking superstar he's never played with. [01:58:24] And now you can build pieces to complement these guys. [01:58:26] Build the actual team. [01:58:28] Get a Kyle Corver, get a JJ Reddick, get whoever the fuck else will be good with them. [01:58:32] But you also need guys defensively who can lock down. [01:58:36] 3 and D guys surrounding LeBron would be a perfect. [01:58:39] But who's there? [01:58:39] Who's a 3 and D guy? [01:58:40] Trevor Reza's out there. [01:58:42] Trevor Reza is out there. [01:58:45] And he's an LA guy. [01:58:46] He would love to be back in LA. [01:58:48] He would love to end his career in L.A. Does he have legs still? [01:58:52] He was in Phoenix. [01:58:54] He saved his legs all year. [01:58:55] That's what I'm saying. [01:58:56] Phoenix, they got some shit over there where it's like the fucking Fountain of Youth. [01:58:59] You go over there and all of a sudden you get three more years back in your career. [01:59:03] I don't know what the fuck they do over there. [01:59:05] Trevor Ariza would be the perfect 3 and D. For the fuck. [01:59:10] And that length. [01:59:11] Think about the. [01:59:12] Okay, what is Trevoriza? [01:59:13] 6'7? [01:59:13] 6'8. [01:59:14] 6'8 long, right? [01:59:16] Length on the floor is crazy. [01:59:17] AD, LeBron, Trevor. [01:59:20] Everybody, you're talking about... [01:59:23] I mean, at that, then you can bring a JJ. [01:59:25] Then you can bring something little because you can fill the gaps. [01:59:28] Yeah. [01:59:29] Whoa. [01:59:30] Who runs that show is my thing. [01:59:32] Who runs that show? [01:59:33] LeBron. [01:59:34] He's your point, point every point forward, whatever the fuck. [01:59:36] Okay, if it isn't LeBron, who do you bring in? [01:59:40] I don't think Rondo can shoot well enough. [01:59:42] No. [01:59:43] I think another, again, you look at, and people, this name's going to keep coming up. [01:59:47] Fucking Brogdon from Milwaukee. [01:59:49] You love Malcolm Brogling. [01:59:50] I love Malcolm Brogdon, bro. [01:59:53] He is like fucking... [01:59:54] He's like a souped up George Hill. [01:59:56] Okay, what if it's not Brogdon? [01:59:58] What if it's somebody else? [02:00:00] I don't even know who else is out there. [02:00:02] But I mean, shit, there's... [02:00:04] He was an interesting option that you'd have to max out, but also interesting. [02:00:06] Jimmy Butler. [02:00:08] Yeah. [02:00:08] But to run it? [02:00:09] Not to run it. [02:00:11] Just to have him there. [02:00:11] Have him there. [02:00:12] Absolutely. [02:00:12] He's a great guy. [02:00:13] I also think he's too individualistic. [02:00:16] I think he has such a strong individual spirit that he wouldn't coalesce with the LeBron team. [02:00:21] I think you need guys who will just fall into the flow. [02:00:25] I don't know, man. [02:00:26] And a lot of things people aren't really taking into consideration. [02:00:29] We're saying these people got to get maxed out, but you got AD and LeBron on your team. [02:00:32] Yeah, you will take a little bit. [02:00:33] Somebody's going to take a little shave on the top to win and play over there. [02:00:37] Ariza would be huge. [02:00:38] Brogner would be great. [02:00:39] I don't know what other free agent point cards are out there. [02:00:41] I mean, Kemba. [02:00:42] I think Kemba works so fucking well there, but I don't want to do Kemba and JJ because now you're too small up top. [02:00:47] Kemba can be your only small guy. [02:00:49] But dude, Kemba, like imagine what Kemba did with zero gravity around him, as you say. [02:00:55] Pulled 25 a game. [02:00:57] Holy shit. [02:00:58] He's shooting as good as he's ever shot in his career. [02:01:01] You got Kuzma hitting threes. [02:01:02] Knockdown three. [02:01:03] Kuzma is very good. [02:01:04] Kuzma starts. [02:01:06] He definitely starts. [02:01:07] That's another long guy. [02:01:09] This is nuts. [02:01:10] AD. [02:01:13] Kuzma. [02:01:14] Kuzma powerful. [02:01:14] LeBron. [02:01:16] Trevor. [02:01:18] Kemba. [02:01:19] Yeah. [02:01:20] That's stupid. [02:01:22] That's a five. [02:01:23] That's stupid. [02:01:24] And the five is good, but you need that fucking depth. [02:01:28] Like, that you will write. [02:01:29] That's why I don't know if I would do Kemba. [02:01:31] I would build thesis. [02:01:32] Unless Kemba comes for less money and we pitch him on like, hey, we're going to win this chip, but like, we got to take this money so we can get A, B, C, and D. Like, you need fucking depth in the finals to win championships. [02:01:44] You'll win all the games. [02:01:45] You need at least seven contributors, I think. [02:01:47] You're going to have LeBron and AD at least 20 games for load management. [02:01:51] Like, you need to go at least eight, nine deep to win a chip this year, especially going through a team like Denver, who's going to be deeper than ever. [02:01:59] See, I still think Denver's a problem, man. [02:02:01] I don't think the West is necessarily the latest. [02:02:03] That's what I keep saying. [02:02:03] That's what Porter Jr. That's what everyone's saying. [02:02:06] And plays ball. [02:02:08] They are a real issue. [02:02:10] They are a championship team. [02:02:12] That aside, if another player becomes available for a trade, another fucking alpha dog, you know who got pieces out that ass is Denver. [02:02:20] Yeah. [02:02:21] Oh, absolutely. [02:02:22] And great front office. [02:02:24] And you know who we shouldn't sleep on? [02:02:26] Portland. [02:02:27] Portland's going to be right back in there. [02:02:29] Portland hooped. [02:02:30] Enus Kansas is going to be right there. [02:02:31] Look, Nurkett, he's going to be back. [02:02:33] He's going to be back. [02:02:33] Like, yeah. [02:02:34] Yeah, Portland's not going anywhere. [02:02:37] No slouches. [02:02:38] I was watching Get Up again this morning. [02:02:39] Like, everybody was saying, like, they've been watching Michael Porter Jr. all through the offseason, and he looks like he's going to be a problem. [02:02:45] Really? [02:02:46] Yeah. [02:02:46] Yeah. [02:02:47] Like, he was a walking bucket in high school and college. [02:02:50] He was a higher prospect than Trey Young, all these fucking big guys who ended up cooking in the NBA. [02:02:55] And everyone's saying, like, yeah, nah, he looks like the real deal. [02:02:57] Really? [02:02:58] So, and he's cheap. [02:03:00] That's right. [02:03:00] You got him for what? [02:03:01] Three more years. [02:03:02] Whatever. [02:03:02] On the rookie deal. [02:03:03] You know what I'm saying? [02:03:05] Denver's going to be scary. [02:03:06] Portland's going to be scary. [02:03:08] Nuggets roster on the screen just so we can look at it. [02:03:10] Yeah, they got Murray. [02:03:12] Yo, they're deep. [02:03:13] That's what I'm saying. [02:03:14] They're deep. [02:03:15] It's like the Portland Trailblazers, when they traded for Pippin, they had crazy ass depth. [02:03:21] And then they traded a bunch of pieces and got Pippin and came within one quarter of making it to the finals. [02:03:26] So that's kind of how I see the Nuggets right now. [02:03:29] And you got your Alpha Dog. [02:03:31] You got Jokic. [02:03:33] And then you got pieces to trade. [02:03:35] If anybody becomes available that you want, they got so much wing depth. [02:03:39] And they got Porter Jr. coming in. [02:03:40] It's like, give up a few, go get somebody. [02:03:42] And you still have a complete team with one alpha dog, maybe two if you can make the trade. [02:03:47] Like, Denver, I still think is a favorite. [02:03:49] So, yeah. [02:03:52] The Lakers are right there. [02:03:53] And if they build a team, it's going to be really fucking fun to watch. [02:03:56] Yeah. [02:03:56] But Denver. [02:03:56] No, who else is going to be? [02:03:58] The motherfucking Clippers. [02:04:00] The Clippers will still be there. [02:04:02] Who are they going to make moves for, though? [02:04:04] Who are they going to get? [02:04:05] They were still pretty good without making any moves. [02:04:07] Like, they'll still be there. [02:04:08] Gary Harris, Will Barton. [02:04:10] Torrey Craig is their shooter. [02:04:12] Malik Beasley, I think, is young and interesting. [02:04:14] Plumley. [02:04:14] He's fucking athletic. [02:04:15] Plumley's, yeah, you're not really going to get shit for him in a trade, but just wing depth. [02:04:19] Millsap, if he declines his option, you got cap space. [02:04:22] Like, they got four wings right now that are good trade pieces, I think. [02:04:28] And that's not including Porter Jr. [02:04:31] I think you roll with that squad. [02:04:33] Look, you roll with that squad. [02:04:35] I let it go. [02:04:36] You give a lot of Western conference teams a lot of issues. [02:04:41] Who else is out there, man? [02:04:42] And they took their lick. [02:04:43] I think they are going to be scary in the playoffs next year. [02:04:45] This is the same reason I didn't think the Bucs would win it. [02:04:47] I just don't, when you're brand new, I don't think you usually win. [02:04:49] I think Golden State was an outlier. [02:04:51] Let me tell you, another team that's going to be out there that we're not even talking about, but I guarantee you. [02:04:56] What's the date today? [02:04:58] June fucking whatever. [02:05:01] June 17th. [02:05:02] The Sacramento Kings will be a problem next year. [02:05:07] They will absolutely be in the playoffs. [02:05:09] And I see them going to the second round, too. [02:05:12] They're going to be that young, new, fucking exciting team with DeAron Fox and Willie Coleystein and Harrison Barnes. [02:05:20] And they're deep. [02:05:21] They're going to get another young talent. [02:05:23] I like the way that team is made up, man. [02:05:26] Buddy Healed, another guy who gets 20 a game. [02:05:30] They got one or two veterans. [02:05:32] That's a solid playoff team in the West. [02:05:34] And the Golden State, they're going to be down. [02:05:37] The Rockets are probably going to be down if they lose Chris Paul. [02:05:40] Like he said he wants to leave. [02:05:41] Those are two playoff teams that might be on the outside looking in. [02:05:45] And, you know, Sacramento is a team that I've been watching for a while, and they're on the rise and they're exciting. [02:05:49] And Fox is a fucking dog. [02:05:51] And healed is a bucket. [02:05:53] And I like the way those guys are made up. [02:05:55] They remind me a lot of this Nuggets team. [02:05:57] They remind me of the young people. [02:05:58] Real quick side note. [02:05:59] I read they tried to make a move for AD, but New Orleans wanted Murray. [02:06:03] And they were just like, no, I wouldn't like Murray Murray. [02:06:06] Yeah. [02:06:06] Imagine Jokic and AD and AD. [02:06:09] Fucking crazy, dude. [02:06:11] But then what happens is those tall teams run into trouble in small ball. [02:06:19] And Golden State has proved that they could score enough to withstand their lack of rebounding. [02:06:24] You need elite shooting, but it does cause a problem because you could run the Joe Kitchen and what's the other guy's name? [02:06:32] Millsap? [02:06:33] No, no. [02:06:34] You could Jokic and AD. [02:06:35] Oh, shit. [02:06:38] We should wrap this. [02:06:39] We should watch this one hypothetical. [02:06:42] Does going to a big market team lower your value? [02:06:45] Yeah, I got on Twitter the other day once everybody was talking about the AD trade and people are like, AD is not top five. [02:06:51] I'm like, what? [02:06:55] And I've seen this happen with a lot of players when they go to big market teams. [02:06:58] Like, you're going to kill me for this. [02:07:00] You know, when Mello got traded to the Knicks, when Wade got LeBron and like all these Bosch and all these guys, like when you go to a big market team or wherever LeBron's playing, that turns to a big market team. [02:07:12] Like, does that lower your value to the rest of the league? [02:07:17] Because there's a lot of people saying, oh, AD might be like top eight, top nine. [02:07:21] I'm like, you must have not watched AD play basketball in a while because he is top five in his sleep. [02:07:27] I think playing in a small market team reduces your value. [02:07:31] So I think that we just forget how valuable these guys are. [02:07:34] I also think once you go to a LeBron market or a big market, then there's expectations. [02:07:39] Then you're looked at under a microscope. [02:07:40] And then all of a sudden, your values very different. [02:07:42] I can see that. [02:07:43] That's what Kevin Love. [02:07:44] 80s value. [02:07:45] Kevin Love's value as talents. [02:07:47] 80s off the charts. [02:07:48] As a winner, he got in the second round once and it was really fucking cool the way he did it, but like, that's it. [02:07:54] Yeah. [02:07:54] When you're in a big market, that shit matters. [02:07:56] Yeah. [02:07:56] I also think when you're on, there's a difference between being in a big market and being on like a LeBron team. [02:08:01] Yeah. [02:08:02] It's a different microscope. [02:08:03] Yeah. [02:08:04] Different microscope and different skill set necessary. [02:08:07] It's like there's a lot of guys in the league that could score 25 points on a shitty team. [02:08:11] Yeah. [02:08:11] A lot of guys. [02:08:13] There are very few guys who can score 25 points on a good team. [02:08:16] Yeah. [02:08:17] And those buckets get scarce. [02:08:19] On LeBron teams, you got to be efficient. [02:08:21] You have to be so potential. [02:08:22] He does not put up with inefficiency or like over-dribbling. [02:08:28] You need to be economic with your dribbles, economic with your shots. [02:08:31] And I think that's what happens. [02:08:34] Like, because you look at a guy like KD, who's incredibly economic with his dribbling and incredibly economic with shooting. [02:08:39] And then he went to a major market team. [02:08:40] And what happened? [02:08:42] Exploded. [02:08:43] Everybody started talking about he was the best player in the league. [02:08:45] Yeah. [02:08:45] Because he's wildly efficient. [02:08:46] He was only getting like a handful of touches a game. [02:08:48] Boom. [02:08:49] Still putting up 25. [02:08:50] Easy. [02:08:51] He could go to any other healthy KD. [02:08:52] He could go to any team and average 35, 36. [02:08:55] He could put up stupid. [02:08:56] Like the numbers Harden puts up stupid. [02:08:59] Ridiculous. [02:09:00] But it's weird. [02:09:01] It's weird how like once a guy like that goes to a LeBron team or a big market team, people kind of like undervalue him and be like, oh, you were on a shitty team. [02:09:09] But there's certain players like AD who do so much. [02:09:13] And you could look at the Kevin Love example, like in Minnesota, where he literally had to do everything and put up a bunch of buckets and got a shit ton of rebounds because his teammate sucked. [02:09:21] I can see how your numbers could explode from that. [02:09:24] But Anthony Davis, he has no discernible basketball weakness. [02:09:30] He literally does everything. [02:09:31] His health is the only thing. [02:09:35] If he's healthy, he could run the break. [02:09:37] He can block shots. [02:09:38] He can guard almost four positions. [02:09:40] He could shoot the three. [02:09:42] He could defend. [02:09:44] Everything you need from a basketball player, he does very well. [02:09:48] So, I mean, we're going to get a very strong reminder this season just how good that motherfucker is. [02:09:54] Yeah. [02:09:54] No, absolutely. === Next Week's Bash Topics (01:29) === [02:09:55] I got one announcement to make. [02:09:57] Galigali Miss Sean Hitch. [02:09:59] Pakistan Johnny.
