The Volume. Good morning. Happy Monday. It's 5.20 in the morning, your favorite sports show. Here to keep you up to date, everything in the sports world, especially basketball. I'm your host, my name is DJ Wells. Join us this morning by my two brothers, to my left, Bishop Hendricks, to my right, my brother T.

Fellas, good morning, how y'all doing? What's happening? What up, though? Listen, man, a lot of sports, man. Great, great weekend in sports, man. Slowly, right, we get straight to it for sure. We're gonna start at the Garden, know what I'm saying? The Knicks beat the Sl sleeves off the Bucks yesterday,

140 to 106. Jaylen Brunson went crazy yesterday. He had 44-6. Kat was killing too. He had 30 and 18. Yannis had 24 and 13, and Daym had 22. But man, is this the best dude on the league? Man, I know we go back and forth with this conversation

every single week, but when they start to put numbers up like this, it's time, man. It's time we acknowledge it bro. I mean, shout out to them, that was a good dub. You know what I'm saying? I just, I'm waiting for the seven game series. That was a good win for the Knicks though. Okay.

They've been kicking ass this year. You just gonna say this is just another regular Tuesday game? Okay. It don't make me feel like, oh my God, yeah you gotta stamp them as the best duo in the league. It is what it is. Good dub for sure. For sure. Man, Jalen Brunson, Todd, Mello,

for most 40 point games in Nick history. Is he already a Knicks legend? Yeah, we was just talking about it before the show started. Yeah, he a Knicks legend now. He probably the best player since Mello. Cap making an argument about it. You know, this year with Cap being who he been,

scoring how he's going, playing how he playing. He's definitely snapping his legacy up there with New York. But Jalen Brunson, man, he the go-to guy, Nick's legend. So I would say he's a superstar now. Doing what he's doing in New York, he's most definitely a superstar. Most definitely.

And one thing that's dope about Jalen Brunson, we criticize him about him taking the extension for the team early on or whatever, the money left on the table. Well, so far that's able about Jalen Brunson, we criticize him, what about him taking the extension for the team early on or whatever the money left on the table. Well, so far that's able for them to a forecast. So listen, Jalen Brunson should definitely be loved by New Yorkers because he did job solid not getting all that bread.

But Elijah ought to have a hell of a team if they got put together right now, man. They beat the sleeves off the books yesterday. Yeah, I think they're the best duo. I just like Jalen Brunson. I gotta see him in the playoffs. Hopefully, like I said, it's an injury thing. If they can make it to the playoffs healthy,

that's a real, real special team they got. They can possibly win the East, but for some reason I don't think they gonna be healthy going to the playoffs. I don't wish that on nobody, but they play a lot of minutes, man. Most definitely. Hey listen, if it all ends today, cat they play a lot of minutes, man. Most definitely. Hey listen, if it all ends today, Cat first team on NBA?

For sure. Yeah, that's the land slot. Him and Jalen. Now I ask y'all this question because you know, on the front court, they be kind of weird sometimes. Are you taking Cat and Yoke? Or are you taking Cat or Jokas? Cause then you gotta think about where Yanis would be

in that situation, think where Jason Titan would be in that situation. Yokes are's the- Yeah, but it's on the team. I'm saying on NBA. On NBA. They both should make first team on NBA. Bam, they probably won't though.

It'd probably be Yannis and Yokelj. But Kata make second team. That's crazy. He deserved first team on NBA, but he's gonna make second team. Yeah, cause if you look at the forwards, like you said, and the issue with the people we just mentioned, you don't know how things could go

in that situation, and you look at them. I don't know, man. That's what I be saying. I don't know how this shit go. Does it go off the team record, and how good the player's playing, or is it just straight off the player? Both.

All the above sometimes. All right, so Kat should win as well. But Yoke is just, they right there too. I'm saying Yoke and Kat should be four and five. I mean, Yanais right there too. The problem is gonna be, you gonna have to have Jason Tatum in the RNBA cause he's gonna have the stats

and they gonna have the record as well. Do you gotta pick between Jason Tatum and Yannis in that situation? Or do you just say Yannis is second team? I mean, time will tell. Yannis is okay being on the second team. I mean, none of them care. I mean, they care, but if you all NBA for contract purposes,

all you gotta do is make all NBA. Yeah. And you get whatever you get. I don't think they fucked up about it. They all wanna be all NBA, but. Think Jason won first team more than anybody though. Put a lot of smut on my nigga name. Yeah, that would be crazy if after what happened

with the Olympics, if he come out here and kill average 26, 27, he get second team on NBA bro, that's gonna be a hell of a slight. Jason been having a battle a lot, a lot of shit this year, man. We never talked about that when they say he was the softest Celtic ever. Oh yeah, Brandon Jenkins is crazy.

Shout out to BJ. Yeah, BJ our guy too, but you out of pocket. You out of pocket, bro. For him to put that as a caption on IG, I'll say, oh yeah, message received. We gotta stand on shit about this. You know I text him. Say, yeah, nigga, you soft.

Yeah, you soft. St. Louis, soft kid. All right, now. T-Shirz-esky. Everybody turn that nigga to a lunatic for real. Y'all better chill out. I don't understand it, though. I don't get it. Iase is asking. Y'all about to turn that nigga into a lunatic for real. Y'all better chill out. I don't understand it though. I don't get it.

I never understood it. I watched the interview hella times. I think it's cause the way he carry himself is kind of like, you know, chill. You know, in the media. They do his commercials and stuff, but he just be chilling like, some things that we know from the past,

like Larry Bird talked a bunch of shit. Cash it. Paul Pierce talk a bunch of shit like Larry Bird talked a bunch of shit. Cashed shit. Paul Pierce talked a bunch of shit. KG talked a bunch of shit. And then he the next superstar and he just kind of chill. He don't do that, he don't talk shit. He just play, just do his job, kill and go home. So what you expect from the Celtics is shit talking.

Rondo talk shit. All them was aggressive talking shit type players. I get that bro, but you know, we don't use the best words on our show either sometimes. But when you say, like Jason is from that for real. So when you call a nigga soft like that, it kind of hit him different. Nah, nah, nah, I'm 100% for sure.

I'm with y'all like, nah, I don I'm 100% for sure. I'm with y'all, like, nah. I don't think he softed it over. Like, that shit hit, that's kind of shit you would fuck around with. You'd sit in there on the street with it. Yeah, like damn, bro. I'm with you. It's the type of time you on. Yeah.

Because I'm like damn, he killin', bro. What'd you, like, if you just want me to talk shit, just say I think, you know what I mean? They should have. Be more aggressive. I think you should have said he's the most polite, so to go. Except polite.

Yeah, like he the coolest, so to go. Yeah, cause then y'all was, boy, I'm like damn, the softest, bro. Well, that's a hell of a- And I mean, you know, LA lingo, different than our lingo out here, so maybe it's different. Nah, I think that's pretty universal.

I'm gonna say soft is definitely universal. People misuse our words all the time. They do, but if you gonna say soft in any hood, they gonna show you what that word mean. I don't think he soft was the word he was looking for. Yeah. The irony to it is that if he was being rah rah, we would be complaining that he's not being himself

because that's not what he's displayed before. So it's like, what do y'all want him to do? Y'all want him to be himself and chill or y'all just want him to be extra? Keep doing this thing, keep killing. Yeah, keep killing, bro. And if you know him, you know like, yeah, it's different. Yeah. Yeah. He's a low key ass, keep killing. And if you know him, you know like, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's a low key asshole. Yeah, he really a dickpuss. Really a asshole. The shit he wanna say to y'all, he really just say it to me.

Like so. Nah, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, he just be chillin bro. If he, if I can honestly say, if he didn't care about his brand, well that nigga loves his brand. Nothing is altering the brand.

Nothing. 100%. It'll probably be ugly. A lot of shit, cause he is real disrespectful. So, BJ better be glad that shit is bowed right there. 100%. He's crazy. He got a lot of endorsements, bro. But if he...

He playing with a lot of chicken, bro. Yeah, he chilling, man. I'll just say, I just hope at some point in time we get a Gills and Render JT episode, man. Now that'll be dope. That was good to hear. Get it right now, man. That'll be dope, bro.

You can cancel that. For sure, man. Shout out to all parties involved, man. And let's talk about a real game. Yesterday, DePace just beat the shit out the Cleveland Cavaliers yesterday, 1-0, 8-93, 8-0 on to all parties involved, man. Let's talk about the real game. Let's say, DePace just beat the shit out the Cleveland Cavaliers yesterday, went on 8-93, hit it on the board, I ad-libbed it. Tyrese get well soon, my boy, you know,

the hamstring get tricky like that. Take a couple weeks off. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? You ain't talking like Luther Vandross today. Nah, I had a good joint this morning. I had that Cleveland pack in my butt this morning. It was magnificent. Tyrese, again, didn't play the second half.

Nim Hart went crazy yesterday in the second half. 19, Siakam had 18. Derrick Garland was hooping yesterday. He had 20. Donovan Mitchell had a slow night yesterday. Didn't score in the first quarter. He had 19, but that's because we locked shit up yesterday. Know what I'm saying?

Pacers, 16, and Winstreet. Yeah, I don't know what your Hawks are doing right now, but we are setting up. I think we tied five. Oh yeah, we right there at five. Where the Hawks at? Nine, damn. I think we tied five. Oh yeah, we right there at five with the Hawks at. Nine, damn. Go crazy, Kee.

We whooping shit right now. 19, 19, y'all just lost y'all best player. We cool. Now we straight. Tyron, you know what I'm saying? Take a couple weeks off. We got Nibby back, you know what I'm saying? He hold it down.

We cool. Aaron E. Smith on the way back this week too. All right, we cool. Hey, Jalen Johnson, if you want to come to a real team, pull up, bro. We got the picture train for you, gang. There ain't no hoes out here. It ain't no, pull up, bro. We got the picture trailer for you. You guys ain't got no hoes out here.

It ain't no, it ain't no. It ain't no. It ain't no. He just went to Sunset yesterday. He said it was dry as a bone, Mark. He said it was dry as a bone. He said he got chicken and luck. You never get chicken and leave.

Even Lou got COVID. Shout out to Jack Harlow. You never should get and leaves in Badge it. Even Lou got COVID, shit. Shout out to Jack Harlow. You never just get the wings and leaves. Oh bitch, shout out to 11. Well these niggas are telling you in a heartbeat, boy. Motherfuckers probably didn't even know niggas were in the Sunset.

He did, literally. He got some chicken and lettuce. To go, hey man, that was a crazy game yesterday. Honestly, the Cavs shot terribly from the three yesterday. I don't think they'll shoot that bad again. We played great defense, but shit got wicky yesterday. Shout out to the Pacers for whooping ass. We played them again on Tuesday.

But I wanted to ask you, I know you feel strongly about Adrian M. Hart. You think he's a starting PG? Yeah, he could be, but I like him coming off the bench and bringing that energy. He's a great defender, capable scorer. We know what he did last year in the playoffs.

I'm a fan of his game, but the defensive side of the ball is what makes him special. Most definitely. He's probably our definitely best perimeter defender, him and Aaron E. Smith. But yes, I mean, now it's another opportunity for him to step up. He plays well when he's the primary ball handler.

Yeah. Like last year, so hopefully he comes out and plays and keep you on your little high streak, y'all. Not a little disrespects his name. You know how people do. A little podcast. A little podcast. It's crazy, because him being a primary ball handler, he really don't have pass though.

He be having moments, I be like, dang, but he can get some more VC. He can pass though. He can make plays. He's a playmaker. But like you said, he's not like a crazy ISO player. No, but the way the Pacers play is good for him. You know, they play fast, open the court.

He can drive and kick, and you got to see Ackerman and them who are kind of like point forwards. Who make plays and stuff, and he can knock down shots. So it fits him perfectly. You trying to bet on the game Tuesday? Tuesday? Yeah. Oh, no, you should have caught me yesterday. We already won. I know we ain't about to win on Tuesday.

The whole point of this was just to split this one. The Cavaliers, they lost too many games this year, so I'm celebrating for a reason. But they got like five, six losses, yeah. They will not lose on Tuesday to us. So you had your whole Cleveland gear on today. Oh yeah, this is by the dough, you feel me? Came in the mail, shout out to Chris.

Respect. 23, three and five? Yeah, yeah, I can say that. They almost had me ballin', bro. That's crazy. They whooped my asses, so I'm gonna say that was a great game. That was crazy. That was crazy. That was a great ass and shit. So I'm not expecting a Tuesday where they definitely were celebrating.

We're almost as good as my Hawks team. Oh, that's what's up. Y'all done beat them though. Yeah, they was smart. What? They like, yeah, y'all done beat them though. We'll lock that up. Man, if y'all move on to the next game.

Are you not going? Hell, my. Are you taking the Cleveland team over to the Hawks? All day. Crazy. Fuck you talking about, I'll beat the shit out of them. Yeah, crazy. Oh, line them up, let's see.

Come on, man. I only see those. Boss Madilo said he found a 10 ball. I only casted in those beatin' up. I found a 30 ball. I'll get it in my pocket. I only casted in those beatin' up they had LeBron in them.

Oh, I found a 30 ball. So let's line them up. We got Tegan DG, two All Stars. It's light, it's light. Oh, I thought y'all were talking about this Hulk scene. For sure, 30 piece. Nah, it's like. Tegan is.

It's like, especially, like we already played like. Garland, Garland can't guard. Jeff is probably too strong, but everywhere else, Donovan Mitchell, yeah. Yeah, we used to guard niggas like him. We're already locking that. Clamp. Sham God, Sham God. Who called Corva Garon? Mitchell. Yeah. Yeah, we used to guard niggas like him. The more he lock in that. Clamps.

Sham God. Sham God. Who called for ever, Gordon? Who they third girl in? Who called for him, girl? Yeah, sweet. Who called for Kyle? Wash.

Hisself. Wash. Yeah, right. Who go in, Paul? At Mobile. At Mobile, 100%. That's an even matchup. That Al and Jared Allen.

I love Al. But it will get me stretched. You crazy as fuck. Al's still hooping right now. That's true. Al might get put buckets in the playoffs this year. Al got Al on that Dr. Sebi diet. That's why. Al's still hooping right now.

What's his diet? Dr. Sebi diet. Nah, they got a good team diet. Al got them good vitamins in him. With George up his, with the miniv them good vibes. With George of it. With the Seaboss. With the mini-vance of it. Pick and roll to death. That's what we did yesterday at third quarter. Pick and rolling to death.

George just can't play that game. Nah. He gotta sit for it. Shout out to my guys. Kenny Agus and them boys. I hear a rotation player, Cameron Caris LeVert, hella burn.

I love Caris LeVert game, man. You know what's crazy? I thought we was about to lose cause Caris LeVert turns into Kobe Bryant every time he played us. He averaged 21 against us last year. I, curse of our game. You know, it's crazy. I thought we was about to lose because Caris LeBurke turns into Kobe Bryant every time he played us. He averaged 21 against us last year. I was like, oh yeah, I knew this was about to be a watch. Shout out to Kairi.

Yeah, he is nice. Shout out to, he signed with Anta, with Kyrie. Yeah, shout out to Kyrie, you know what I'm saying? He got the- And shit, that damn Hawks team sent three all-stars, so I guess you can send three this year if you like that same. Y'all sent four?

Damn, y'all did. Out of pocket, bro. So it's the same thing. There is Garland Swarter, guys, you deserve to be an All-Star, bro. Blow this shit up, bro, if you like. Yeah, he do. Evan Mobley for sure, bro.

I wouldn't be mad if they made it. Yeah. They all start gonna be boring as hell though. Yeah. Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah. At least we was lit. Come on, D. What we got?

What we got, guys? Like, you know, the crowd was excited to see Paul Millsap. No, don't disrespect Paul. And we love Paul. No, Paul's not good. But I'm saying, like, no, what I mean, we was lit because, like, you gotta think, the Cavs, they ain't seen LeBron in them.

Like, they ain't had years, they go to the finals, what, nine years in a row, five years in a row? Cavs been lit before. Atlanta never was lit besides Dominique had been 20 years. That's true. That is true. That's true. So it was lit like the fucking Hawks. What the, they winning shit?

Nobody expected shit like that. So that went like 18 in a row and shit. They was like, the Hawks with these niggas? Ain't nobody on here really cold, cold. Like they all just cool. No, I feel like y'all was cold, cold, bro. I just felt like y'all was out of pocket with the league. David Stern should have blocked that, bro.

He wasn't even the commissioner, bro. What was he supposed to block that? They wins? They veto what he did to Chris Paul on the Lakers. He should have did that with Jeff Teigen. It just messed everybody up. Al, hell of an All-Star, but you, Paul, bro, it really should have been a lot, bro.

That really should have been it, bro. Nah. Send it all forward, bro. We love Al, you still hooping, bro. But I'm just crying. Al should've made it, Paul should've made it. Al should've made it. Kyle got in because somebody got hurt.

There's so many other teams out east, man. You're telling me, it ain't another nigga. We was whooping shit, bro. Y'all was, bro. It's not another nigga out east, bro. They didn't make it. I ain't seen them that year. I ain't seen him. Come on, man.

Shout out to the hogs, man. Shout out to my patients, get that dub. You know what time it is. Jason Tatum, yesterday went crazy. He had 38. They barely got by the Pelicans yesterday, 121.19. Again, 38 and 11 for JT. Porzingis had 19, 11.

De'Jontay Murph was killing. He had 26 and nine. Zion had 16. And then T Murph had 30 and six yesterday. Celtics are six and five in the last 11 games, anything you'd be concerned about. I mean, I know they got the one point victory over the Pelicans yesterday, but. I mean, that Pelican's a different team

with Zion, Trey Murph, with all the guys. CJ played, De'Jonte, they a different team. Like we know that's a better team than what they record shows. Oh, they got it, it's healthy. Most definitely. But the Celtics, I think they just having an up and down moment.

I think they probably getting bored with the game a little bit. Yeah. You know what I mean? They trying new lineups, trying new players. They just kind of getting bored with the game. After all-star break, they had turned it back up and we had seen a team that we gonna see

in the playoffs going forward. But right now they just trying to make it to all-star break. Most definitely, like you said, they just ready to get to the playoffs, bro. They know what time it is. This is just boring to them anyway. Shout out to Design, you know what I'm saying, returned after one game suspension.

They suspended because he kept being late for the team flights amongst other things. How y'all feel about that? I know you're gonna get to talk about that. He's out of pocket, bro. The picture of that boy said, this is what got him caught. He was in that Wendy's line.

That was a centel. No it wasn't. That was a centel bro. You know that was the point. Why they playing with him like he eat Wendy's? That nigga eat Wendy's. I was. That nigga.

That's it, that's why he was like, that's the T-flag. That's stupid bro. So I was a centel, y'all know was like, it's just he flying. That's stupid, bro. Sorry to tell you, I know it's all love, this wife. Look at that nigga. Somebody delete that. Look at my good time, we caught him today. Caught him last episode.

Somebody delete this. Y'all see what kind of coffee they got in here? Somebody delete that. Delete that page, bro. I do that guy's thing. Is that Muzik his son taking his order? Why do they got to be there? Oh, that's Carl.

Hey, man. I was crying, man. I love Cintil, man. Y'all are the best, man. There's no way Zon had that vehicle, bro. Y'all, delete that page, bruh. Shout out to Zion, though, bro. He did his thing yesterday.

Yeah, that's hilarious, man. Oh, man. That's the best shit in the world. Yes. Yes, he is most definitely done in New Orleans. He goes to go somewhere else and play just behind the next three years. He's like as slow as hell.

The super tracks Zion is done in New Orleans. Yes. I think we all agree that it's time for him to get out of there. But he's so special when he plays for us, but like, we don't know. Shout out to John Foster. Wherever he go, he gonna kill. Yeah, I was gonna say, send him to get out of there. But he's so special when he plays, for us, but like, we don't know. Shout out to John Foster. Wherever he go, he gon' kill.

Yeah, I was gonna say, send him to Dallas. 100%. Shout out to John Foster, though. Good question. Free free easy, man, for sure. Westbrook and Yocich went crazy yesterday, came back with a victory over the Mavs yesterday, won 12 to 101.

Yocich had 19, 18, and nine. Russell Westbrook was killing yesterday. He had 21 and 10 and seven. Clay was hooping yesterday Yokich had 19, 18 and nine. Russell Westbrook was killing yesterday. He had 21 and 10 and seven. Clay was hooping yesterday, he had 25, especially did what he had 16 and 10. Westbrook has been killing, but before we talk about that, I wanted to give you your credit, you know what I'm saying?

Aaron Gordon returned last night, and one thing you suggested was, you know what I'm saying, good coach Mike Malone was gonna make that decision if they were still rocking, you know what I'm saying? Slow him back into the lineup. And he came off the bench yesterday. And- I mean, they've been playing well with Westbrook in the starting lineup.

And I told you, he really turns into the point forward for them, cause he kind of played like Aaron Gordon at six, three, but he's also a point guard. And it loosens up ball handling duties for Jamal Murray, who's really a two guard. But now people are starting to say, yo, get you in Westbrook, it's a dynamic duo in Denver because of the way he's been playing lately.

It's starting to look like that. Like the stats that they putting up, they both damn, they're getting triple doubles every night. I know he's going to do well out there. Yeah, they starting to hoop. And I think Westbrook is starting to get his foot under him and looking like the player that we once fell in love with back in the day, you know, the Lakers,

that little stint with them kind of messed them up. Well, in people eyes, we know what kind of player he was, but we starting to see it again, he playing, winning basketball. Most definitely, it's crazy. Well, Russell Westbrook is 36 years old, bro. Year 16, 17, for him to still be killing like this, like you said, after having him years of smut on his name,

people thought he was done, bro, it's great to see him killed like this. Yeah. It's a hell of a team too, man. When Jamal Murray's activated, like you said, playing off the ball like this. It's a hell of a team too, man. If when Jermon Burris is actually playing off the ball like this, they're a different team for sure. So have him for the minimum or whatever he's on right now. I know he's a new player.

Still, nigga. And he like, hooping like he playing. He a starter making what, three or four million? Shout out to Westbrook, man. He definitely earning his money. He definitely gonna get a higher payday next year for sure. Yeah, I know we talk about this week as well, but you know what I'm saying?

Barron don't move to this team. Be Fiske's is still a dangerous team. The way they're playing right now, they're gonna figure something out. Yeah, they figured it out. Now you got Aaron Gordon coming off the bench. Yeah, that's a different team now. Chico, bro.

Yeah, they're a different team. And they might be a team to be reckoned with in the West for real though. Most definitely. I looked at the stat, I meant to bring it up with the Pacers, Nimhar, I looked at the net ratings as far as like owner off the court. Number one, Jokic too was Andrew Nemhar, which I thought was crazy. But when Jokic is on that court, like you

said, light night in the office for him, 19, 18 and 9. Like that's crazy. They are a dangerous team. I don't think too many teams really want to see them in the semi-game series for sure. Not when you got the best player in the world. Straight up. That's a tough thing to deal with for sure. Whoa, the Kings. Kings and the Pacers undefeated in 20-25, they got the win over the Bulls yesterday.

De'Aaron Fox had 26-9, Sabonis had 22-15. Zach LaVean went crazy in the loss, so he had 36-10. You think the Kings make some noise out west, man? You think they can make the playoffs? I mean, like the beam, I guess they back. You know, the coaching change, I guess, hey, it looked like it was Mike Brown. That shit matter.

When you got, when your guys believe that you believe in them, they play different. Just being a coach and trying to learn the ways in my second year, you gotta start, you know, speaking belief into the guys and treating them a little different. I think that's what Doug Christie is doing. Instead of talking down to him or making him feel the way,

he's like lifting him up. Now everybody believe in playing at high levels and you can tell that they really rock with him. You saw Jimmy Butler on their Instagram post when he was helping the kid with the coffee. He was just like, see, this is what good bosses do. They pour into their employees, not break them down. That's a fact, man.

And that's some stuff I had to learn. You know, still growing as a coach, you gotta learn that kind of stuff. So seeing somebody like Doug Christie, who came, was a former player. And you know, you kind of tough on people because you want them to do how, you know, man, you so good. I would have did it like this.

Why you can't do it? Because everybody not you, you know what I mean? So him to pour into his guys and just letting them be themselves and see how they responded. Getting wins, playing well, playing at a high level. It might be his job for the future for sure. This is easier, I feel like playing with a player coach

who's relatable to you. That's probably all it was, bro, for real, for real. Cause I think Mike Brown is a good coach. Yeah, he is. He turned everything around. He just didn't fit that organization for real. All I was gonna say, I had some sources read out to me last week regarding the situation.

I don't necessarily think that was a player's thing. I think, yeah, as you can tell about the response from the coaches when it happened, everybody was just openly speaking about, oh, that's fucked up, how'd it happen? Yeah, that wasn't a player's thing. I think over time it became that, but it didn't start off as a player's situation.

No, it never started off like that. It's like, he probably have some questions for the higher ups and probably disagree with the higher ups about some things. And then you know not to be like that but the higher ups they pay everybody. So they come talk to the star player they come talk to people and just like do you like how this is going to you like and it could be one thing. Yeah. You know the player could have been like,

I mean, it's cool. It might not be the response they looking for. You know what I mean? If you just be like, he cool. Like, yeah, it's hard. Or have multiple conversations with that person, but like, you sure you don't like anything? So they get something that wrong with it.

Now you got De'Aaron Fox on Twitter explaining like, no, I didn't say none of that shit. Yeah, just like, he cool. Like, I ain't tripping. Then that one incident with him and De'Aaron Fox going back and forth a little bit or whatever it is, or he kind of played De'Aaron Fox in the interview. They like, look, I know it.

Yeah, they just needed something to bite the bullet. Just something. Terrible. Yeah, but he a great coach. Hell yeah. He don't keep getting hired for no reason. Yeah. Nah, Mike Brown has, and again,

the reason I was liking that motherfucking man was because he pulled up. Yeah, he's out of pocket for running down the sideline like that though. Yeah. Talk about the drill. He definitely turned, he turned the whole thing around. For sure man, shout out to the Kings man,

keep getting them duds. Free Zach Levine by the way too. Some more games took place last night, the Magic took care of the 76ers yesterday. Maxey had 29, PG had 25 and 10. Your boy Cole Anthony went nuts yesterday, he had 27. And P5 had a dub and eight rebounds yesterday. Man, the sixes.

How the fuck do they keep winning, bro? Cause they, they're crazy, bro. Once again, when you pour into your players and they believe shit, I think that whole roster believe they can win anytime they on the court. That shit is crazy, bro. They keep losing niggas, bro.

Another person got hurt. Cory Joseph played 16 minutes yesterday and that's no disrespect to Cory Joseph because he keep a job, but no matter who pull up, you gonna produce his team. He gonna produce and he believe in all of them. Like, I ain't gonna lie, I would've loved to play for him. Yeah.

And just to see him when he was assistant coach and he used to work dudes out before the game, like he used to work Luca and them guys out. And then when he was in Denver, when I first got in the league, everybody loved him. Like everybody wanted to work out with him, even before the game, he'd be in a full sweat, go around dudes.

Like, so I know what kind of head coach he is. People probably love playing for him. Like he said, Cory Joseph ain't played all year. He come and play 16 minutes. Come on, bro. Like you're hoofing the magic, bro. Eric, you got a chance for sure. You come and play 16 minutes. Come on bro. Like, you hoofing the magic bro, Eric you got a chance for sure. You got a chance.

Shit is wild bro. I ain't seen nothing like that bro. Man, really lose his whole roster and still rock out. Nah, respect. That's dope man. That's why I think for real, I know it'd be like the best record in the league bro, he damn near coach of the year bro. For sure.

Sorry bro. If Kenny Yaggison wasn't 33 and five, he would be coach of the year. But it's hard to. They're over 500, bro. Yeah, comfortably. Fourth in the league, in their conference, and they lost their stars for at least 20 games.

Kenny, get your shit off, bro. I feel you, bro. Would like to be 33 and 5. I know, bro. I'm just saying, bro, if we was healthy, bro, you know how good the Magic could be, bro? If they was fully healthy, bro. If you just going off this season alone,

with them missing Franz, MP for the games that they was out, even though they was winning a lot of them games still. And they key, bro, a Kyle Well-Pope out. They're probably top three. Yeah, bro, Kyle Well-Pope. I'm not saying they better than the, Gary Harris was balling. Either the three of them top teams for them, bro.

Like, I don't know. I mean, the season shows, bro, the proof is in the pudding, man. Injuries, they still win. That's crazy. Nah, and then P5 being back now, he was on his way of being our first team all NBA before he got hurt. But to have him back and he ballin' his first game,

he'd go for 30 back and now he'd go for another 20 piece. He a cold, he a hooper, bro. He cold. He one of my favorite players in the league. Tyrese Maxx was ballin' yesterday. We had 25 and 10, that's a hell of a game for PG, bro. He cold. He one of my favorite players in the league. Yeah, Tyrese Maxx was balling yesterday. We had 25 and 10, it was a hell of a game for PG, just wasn't enough. But Joel Embiid being on the sidelines,

it's becoming dormant at this point. We don't even expect him to hoop, bro. Who's worse, him or Kawhi? Oh, Embiid. Who do y'all think more likely to play, Embiid or Kawhi? Oh. Joel. You think so? More likely to play?

Yeah. I'll take Kawhi. Nah, Joel. You think so? More likely to play? Yeah. I'll take Kawhi. No, bro. Joel, Joel and me probably played, last three or four years probably played more games than Kawhi Leonard. Yeah, he definitely. Oh yeah, cause of injury.

For sure. You think, I'm saying after All-Star break, who plays, Kawhi Leonard or Joel Embiid? I'll say Kawhi. And that's crazy to even say Kawhi, but this year I'm gonna take Kawhi. I think they gonna. I don't even know why Kawhi out though.

Why he out now? His family. Yeah, he still. The house is just moved though. I don't know what's going on with that bill. I don't know what they better have to do. I'm just saying bro. Look what the Sixers are at.

Joel Obishe shouldn't be playing after the fucking All-Star break. Yeah, I think he gonna sit out the rest of the year. It don't make a difference no way bro. Just get healthy bro.-star break. Yeah, I think he gonna sit out the rest of the year. It don't make a difference no way, bro. Just get healthy, bro. Get that pig. Yeah, just sit out. Yeah, Ace Bailey turn back up next year, bro.

My fault Cooper Flagg too. Look at that nigga Berkshire Chief kid, bro. Why everybody keep bringing me like, Cooper Flagg, Cooper Flagg. Shout out to the guys, man. He only, I mean, he had 42. And he made some shots. Nobody said he was sad.

Yeah, he never said he was sad. We'll save it to the end of the show. We, fuck his DMs. Don't spread that, nigga. Don't, I didn't tell you. No, nigga, get what you deserve. Get what you deserve. I just said he was in it.

In the best you made. Shit, the way he was scoring was still energy-like. He was playing hard. He just made some open three. You know what I mean? We'll talk about that later in the show. We'll show it to the ball right now. He just made, he just hit some open threes. We'll talk about that later in the show. Let's move on right now. He just made his open threes.

Now don't worry, we'll talk about Cooper. Good job, man. The Thunder beat the sleeves off the Wizards yesterday, 136 to 95. Not much to talk about there. SGA had 27. It was light work at the office for sure. The Jazz beat the Nets yesterday in OT, 112 to 111. Isaiah Collier went crazy yesterday, 23-77.

Almost smoked it at the end of the fourth, but the eight seconds called him a Colin Sexton, got into it, but listen, they got that dub in OT for sure. Shout out to the young boy, man. Get his chance to shine, man. He probably had seven games, he probably been averaging late seven, eight, or six, man. Let him lead the pack, man.

Show, get an opportunity to play. Did y'all see, legend to Ben Simmons' court? He was like, you know what I'm saying? It's not about what management want upstairs. We gotta get out there and win these games. Y'all see Ben Simmons' air ball at the free throw line? I ain't nobody. Ben Simmons still playing for it?

Yeah, bro. Thought he was set up. Shotcaller's going there, bro. I said, fuck it, I'm gonna pull this off. I'm gonna fucking win to the camera man. I didn't say that if he gets bought out this year, that was like he should go to the Nuggets and start playing basketball for real again.

Oh man, go to Charlotte bro. Be a backup B for the Nuggets bro. Go to Charlotte bro, come kick it. No, do not say B. Come to the game. We taking everybody's eye in, KD, Ben. Come rock out with the squad bro. Hey, it's Bobby Bones.

Speaking of the subs, I mean, the word, excuse me. They got BS, they bought the subs, 121.13. D-Book had 30 yesterday, KD had 27, Lamello Ball had 25 and 11, Miles Burgess had 21. Good game.

That'll rate about there. Did Nergis play? Nergis still on the bench. had 25 and 11, Miles Burgess had 21. Done a rave about there. Simple. Did Nirk just play? Nirk's still on the bench. Yeah, I know he's not. I know he's out of the rotation. Yeah, I know he's out of the rotation, but I know he played, but I don't know about his starting.

I'll trade Nirk. Yeah, come get it. Yeah. Let's move on from him. Yeah, bro, we don't need that type of energy, no roster, bro. We already got going through enough. You right here getting 20 on him.

Yeah, bro. Let's get Nirk out of here. Yeah, get him out the roster, bro. We already got going through enough. You right here getting 20 on. Yeah, bro. It's getting hard to get out of here. Yeah, you can't get out of here, bro. That's funny, is it? Yeah. Pack a cigarette, second round pick, get the job done. Couple games tonight, we wanna see how y'all feel. T-Wolves at Wizards.

Wolves. Most definitely. Pistons at Knicks. Lakers. I got the Pistons. Okay, I'm gonna ride with the Pistons. Warriors at Raptors. Warriors.

Most definitely the Warriors. Spurs at Lakers. Lakers. When we gonna get 30 tonight though? Yeah, Lakers. I'm gonna go Spurs for a hell of a bit. And then Heat at Clippers. I'm gonna go with the Heat.

Clippers. I'm gonna take the Rockets over to Grizzlies too. Yeah, I'm gonna take the Grizzlies. Jai playing, I'm gonna take the Grizzlies. Aye, you're gonna say Jai. In the lineup, it's always a dub for sure. A couple of football games took place this weekend. Texas beat the Sleezes off the Chargers yesterday.

32 to 12, the Ravens beat the Steelers Saturday night 28 to 14. Bills beat the Broncos 31 to seven. Eagles beat the Packers 22 to 10. And the Commanders beat the Buccaneers 23 to 20. Yeah, I wanted to ask y'all a question about the Commanders and the Bucks. Yes, sir.

You know, the game came down to the wire, came to a field goal, I was watching the game. What's more pressure? Down one, you got two free throws. With no time on the clock. Or a tie ball game, 20-20 like the commanders in books. You gotta kick the winning field, though. What you think is more pressure?

Where's the field go at? 30, 40 yarder? I mean, he damn near missed that motherfucker on the 20. Yeah, that is true. The nervous. You gotta set a, cause what's the weather, like what's the. Nah, just like it was last night for them. I guess it was cold.

This shit matters. I don't know bro. But he banked it in. A banked field goal is crazy. He did. Yeah, as long as you hit shit. But you think more pressure. You got two free throws, down one.

Cause you make one, but on the OT though. Yeah. So it's the field goal. I'm gonna field goal. Yeah. Cause you make one on OT though. So it's the field goal. I'm gonna field goal. It's more pressure on the field goal. You only do one thing. Yeah. That's your only job is to kick field goals. You end up professional athlete,

all you do is kick field goals. When you got fouled on a free throw, you could have had 25 rebounds, 30 points, anything. You did play the whole game. Bro, if I'm a porn star, bro, my only job is to crack, bro. So I might have an off night, bro. Nah, but when you're a professional, you can't have an off night.

I can though, bro. That's why they gonna remix the video. No, but I'm saying. It's gonna look like I had 30 or 12. The only job is to kick a field goal. The only thing you practice all day is kicking a field goal. I think doing that shit is a lot harder than what we make. I'm not saying it's not hard,

but think about when you play a basketball game, you do a lot more shit in the game. So if you miss a free throw, it's like, damn, it's a possibility you could miss a free throw. It's a possibility you could miss a kick, but your only job is to kick. You don't gotta do shit else. All you gotta do is be great at kicking.

I might've had 35 points. I could've been killing the whole game. I just got fouled. What's the more, I think it's harder. To shoot a free throw than a kick of field goal, bro. Hell no. If you are in that Mike Vanderjagt situation, bro, where you gotta hit a 40, 50 yarder ball,

and if you miss this over, at least if you hit one of the free throws, you got an OT, you can get out the book. I'm saying, they got an OT too. 23, 28, one by 30. Yeah, that's, I don't know man, it feels suspicious. But you only got one job, like. I agree, I'm very,

nigga, this is what you do for a living, you need to make this feel good. Man, that's all you do. I ain't rolling, y'all. But it ain't easy though, bro. I ain't saying it's easy. He ain't saying it's easy. I'm not saying it's easy.

I'm saying y'all professional. I'm not rolling with that though, bro. You gotta hit, yeah, you gotta practice. I ain't saying it's easy. He ain't saying it's easy. I'm not rolling with that though, bro. You gotta hit. Yeah, you gotta hit. It's a line that goes. You and the placeholder, all y'all do all day is y'all don't take no hits, y'all don't do shit else. Yeah. Yeah, bro.

And don't let you be on the road, but you getting yelled at. It's 45 degrees outside, you gotta kick a 40 yarder in the wind. Think about it in the game. If you should kill O'Neal, you'd have had 35. You didn't got fouled all night. You tired.

You didn't play both games. You didn't play defense. You didn't know all that shit. But you're talking about the worst free throw shooter ever. Give me a, give, put Clay at the line. I'm just saying. I'm saying it's harder because, all right, let's say you down one, you got two.

Let's say you down two, you got fouled on a three. All right, let's say you down two and you, let's just say the same thing, tie game. All right, let's put LeBron James at the line. Yeah, they down two, you gotta make both of them a tie game. Oh, LeBron get both of them free throws. We're going OT. We're going OT.

Listen, you down two, you gotta hit two free throws. You got fouled, you gotta hit two free throws. You got foul, you gotta hit two free throws. I think that's way more pressure than if you. I'm sorry. I don't know. Yes, you really solo bro, you really solo. That's what make it even harder. Ain't you a hooper though.

But listen, all right, say you down 20 to 17, you need a field goal to hit it. Like you gotta hit this field goal to take it to overtime. Or you down two and you need to hit these two free throws to take it to overtime. That's easy, bro. Your only job is to kick field goals, bruh. Now, in this circumstance, if you got, okay,

if you miss, you go to OT regardless. Okay, it's a little bit different. But if you have to tie the game. Yeah. Oh, that's tough, bro. I'm taking that every time. That's the field goal. You gotta hit two free, bro.

You gotta hit two free throws to tie the game. Or you gotta hit a field goal to tie the game. We'll take it to field goal. I think that's tough, bro. I'm taking that every time. That's what you take it. So you gotta hit two free throws to tie the game or you gotta hit a field goal to tie the game. We're taking a field goal. I think that's easy. A reason why I say NBA is because, well, basketball is because if you tie, you have more possessions in overtime to where you could affect them in the game.

Football rules are OT, bro. No, no, no. I'm just saying the pressures to making the two free throws or the field goal. It's fun. So if you down two, you go to the line. Imagine, now look, all the pressure is on you. Like you can blame somebody.

The placeholder fucked up the kid, da da da da. You got an excuse, everything. He held the ball wrong. It's just you up there. Nigga Ed, what you think they gonna say? Nigga, y'all play basketball for a living, all you doing is moving. That's what they say to LeBron James.

One nigga's saying. That's why it say to LeBron James. What niggas say? That's why it's more pressure. It's more pressure. Nah, bro, that NFL stadium yell over that basketball arena yell is different. Nah, that shit's so, that's what people so high you can't even hear. You on an island by yourself, bro.

What you think you on an island? Cause you just, them niggas ain't saying nothing down there. You just believing in them mother fucker motherfucking online niggas, bro. You really out there looking around like, I miss this shit. What you think they saying with a basketball game? You down too, you gotta hit two, three throws and take it over.

And I think the locker room different. You gotta deal with more niggas. I think they'd be more supportive. It's 57 niggas in that locker room if you miss that field goal. It's just 12 of y'all. You'll be more supportive. You'll get more support, bro.

You seen one of the kickers miss, everybody come tap him on the head. Nah, I don't know. You see that, the people they rock with. But nigga, imagine you in the playoffs, game seven, down two points, you need two free throws to send it in overtime. Bro, that's a lot of pressure.

And we about to get off the subject, but okay, you paint that picture. All right, finals, game seven, you gotta hit this to win. All right, imagine you're in the Super Bowl. And you know what I'm saying, neutral side, you gotta kick a 35 yarder, bro, in the wind. Jam, stop. For the dub. What?

No, the side of that? No, I don't, the finals free throws is crazy. Game seven? Stop, bro. What? Stop, bro. Are you kidding me? Stop, you wild. You see George Hill in Super Bowl? You see. What? Stop bro. Are you kidding me? Stop, you wild.

You see George Hill in game one. That was game one. It was. Niggas stabbed him and killed him. Everybody killed JR Smith for that, but George Hill shouldn't hit the free toss. That's all I'm saying. That was game one, they still had a chance

to win the series. Niggas was mad at him for life. We got to move on man, but that is crazy, man. That's a hell of a conversation for sure. Another day in Tocare Penn State 27-24, Ohio State beat Texas 28-14. National championship coming up soon. And then your Ohio State.

All right, we already know what the vibes is. We talked about this on the pod drop in the day, but yeah, it's going to be a very interesting national championship for sure. Verify buckets. I already know you. You're going to say how I'll stay for sure. I'll tell you at the beginning of the year.

Verify buckets. A lot of people got two of this weekend. Be here. Who you shouting out first? Keomi. Come on, man. Shout out to her getting suspended. You came back after two games suspension, 33 piece. Nah, you special.

I ain't seen no girl pack the rock like that in a long time, bro. But I don't know what she got in trouble for, but. Cause she was supposed to play Juju. She different. It's supposed to be her against Juju and they messed up the vibes, whoever their coach was. Yeah, I don't know what was going on with that.

Y'all could have let that pass. And I don't know what's going on with the father of the situation, but that was just like, it's a problem when the parents are saying we. No, it is is fucking we like, yes, that's my child. So we in her best interest, not mine. But what are you talking about? She ain't killer steel from nobody, bro.

Let her go. Yeah, bro. I don't know what happened. He can't do nothing to fuck up the team. That motherfucker for him. I'm nothing. You're nothing on the team. She do be shooting with three people on her, though. They got to get killed. Yeah, she just be shooting with three people on her though. All right, they gotta get killed. Yeah, she be, yeah, she just like ace.

She special though. Her handle is retarded, bro. Yeah, she. My Lord. She's different, bro. She had a crazy step back on that white woman yesterday, bro, that was so ill. I'm like, damn, I haven't seen a girl really dribble like this since a girl from the Lynx, Maya Moore.

Maya Moore ain't dribble like her. You said Maya Moore? Step back, Maya Moore, Simone Augustus had the nastiest step back. I thought you were talking about the hand. No, no, no, hell no, she dribble, that's what I'm saying, I ain't never seen a girl dribble like that.

Old girl had handles like that. Step back, she hit that, it's crazy. What's a little short girl in the Tennessee? Bobbit. Yeah, yeah, handles. Not Lorraine. Not Lorraine. She had scissors.

I'm talking about. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Boy, y'all niggas always taking too far. Every single day. Ha ha ha.

My very five bucket. Thomas Childe Cooper flag, man. 42 piece Saturday. That was the spark of conversation on this podcast. Freshman ACC record boy. Yeah, that shit ain't about nothing. It's me and you. A lot of niggas been in ACC.

You number one. Nah, shout out to Cooper. The real blue devil. Nah, he hooked. Nah, for sure. He living up to everything that everybody expected though. He balling. Nah, he's killing for sure.

Who you got T? For basketball week though, in college though. Yeah, we can lead our team in every statistical category. Nah, he definitely cold. You don't think college basketball kind of downed this year though? all week though in college though. Yeah, we can lead our team in every statistical category that matters. Nah, he definitely cold. You don't think basketball, like college basketball kind of down this year though? I'm a college basketball fan.

I think it's at its worst these past three years. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie, it's like down. Yeah, it's not. And I love college basketball, but it's down. I ain't fucked with it. But one thing happened when we get to verify I bugged my bad, but I was watching a Tennessee game and they lost and they benched one of their better players.

And he was like, he's not doing what he's supposed to do. He gets paid to do his job. He's not doing his job. I was like, damn. That's about to fucking up. Yeah, that's the most realest shit I ever heard. I'm glad that you brought that up. But Monty Jones had a tweet about that.

He was like, even though this is the reality that it is now, he said, that is crazy. That your college folks are saying, you know, you get paid for this, you're not the one we pay you to do, so you gotta sit. He found a fix. Yeah, yeah. That's all that was.

That is, yep. That's all that was, he found a motherfucking fix. Now that little moment is about to transfer all over the nation, play with me if you want to, nigga, cause they gonna pull that NIL, you ain't gonna be worth a quarter. Yeah, we talk about them taking them Hellcats back, nah it's about to be conditioned.

The men is restrained? You are playing with his chicken for real. Yeah, I like that. That is crazy. That was a moment I embraced, I said, that was a high right there. It was out of pocket, but it was a bar for sure. I mean shit, it's about to work though.

That shit about to work bro, cause you can't tell me, I don't give a fuck. This ain't the NBA, the NBA it's about to work, though. That shit about to work, bro. Because you can't tell me, I don't give a fuck. This ain't the NBA. The NBA, like, they got to play. I got to play my max player, bro. It is what it is. In college, nah, nigga, they ain't say nothing about the rules.

I'm just getting a little bit more chicken now. Oh yeah, that's dope. That's dope. Most definitely. But my verified bucket, I don't even know who else. I'm gonna just give it to Jalen Brunson, because having 44, leaving the game with a slight injury and coming back and still killing,

having 44, whatever he had in the first quarter, we had 25 in the first quarter, something like that. Yeah, he was hooping. I'm gonna give my verified bucket to JB. Yeah bro, 44 is insane, man. I'm gonna show some love to Kat as well. He had 30 in 18, like we said, probably first team on NBA, definitely worthy of it for sure.

Get well soon, we need to start the week off with some encouragement, be here. Paul George. Way, Palo, Bumptown, he look crazy. He said he hate playing the five, said it was boring. Yeah, I'll see why it's boring. He get real in them trenches. How big do I get?

Excuse me. Hey. Yeah, I wouldn't wanna play the five either. Nah. Excuse me. That's the first sign of Pau Dru is getting old right there. Like when your feet do this, you getting old. Yeah, 28 out of the pocket for not grabbing his hand, bro.

You still had a good game though. Yeah, 25. Eric Gordy, I was supposed to help y'all man's up. Yeah. That's the first sign of age right there. I remember LeBron, first of all, when he first went back to Laker, he was like, lay down, let your brother come pick you up.

And then didn't do it the next game. He was mad. For sure. I love LeBron. He said some wild shit. Shout out to LeBron man. My favorite, I mean excuse me, my giveaway soon, I'm gonna reach back to last week

since we were in the studio. Anthony Black, yeah, he got wicked for my boy, man. I know we talk about Orlando Magic playing great, but it was a bad moment for him. What the fuck he do? Hey, he got in the way, man. Oh, Anthony, yeah, it was monster. Yeah, sometimes you gotta let it go, bro.

Yeah, we gotta bring that back. Yeah, you were not a shot blocker, you got in the way. Oh my God. Yeah. And he followed him. Might push the shit out the way. Oh my God. Yeah. And he followed him. Mike Push, shit out of him. I know, nigga, damn, I got whiplash. Watch his neck, pause.

Yah! Watch his neck when Mike push you, though. Hey! Damn, let it run. DJ? Damn. Hell, bitch. Hey, that's crazy, man.

Get well soon, Anthony Black. Get out the paint, my boy. Be here, who you got? How you got it? My fautee? Oh, shit. Everybody get healthy, man. Everybody get healthy.

Shit, I don't know. Derek White. Yeah, let me see that one on Derek White. Yeah, get well soon, Derek White, shit. Everybody get healthy, man. Everybody get healthy. Shit, I don't know. Derrick White. Yeah, let me see that one on Derrick White. Yeah, give us some Derrick White, too. Somebody get well. Derrick White's like getting boomed on. He do try to block a lot of shots. I think one of the leaders in blocks, though, for a guard.

He got bounced, though. That had light, though. He do try to Derrick White. That had light, though. Boy got a bag this summer. Yeah, he got a bag, I like them. He had hell of a summer. Got a ring, got a gold medal, he ain't got paid.

They never match that. One of my favorite two way players in the league. For sure. Play both ends. That's crazy. R.B. in Monday morning, people trying to start off with a dud, what you got for them, man? Oh yeah, baby.

Oh lord. We kept it laid today. Very, very light, very light. Kay Cunningham, 20 points. Kat, 20, Aunt, 20. Anthony Edwards, that is. Stephen Curry, 20 points. Jermyn Rant, 20.

MPZ, 20. Okay. Victor is gonna get 30. $300 only wins you $5,000 today. That's doable, though. It's cool, 300 for five000 today. That's doable though. It's cool, 300 for five? I think that's doable. Yeah.

I might play that one. All right, shout out to Draft Kings, you got promo code club520, get you a little bonus extra. Before we get out of here, we got a question from the chat. Is the one and done hurting the NIL or the NBA more? The one and done, like people leaving early,

it's probably hurting college more, because a lot of people are going for one year and they're not gonna be there. They could have just went out of high school and they could have saved a lot of headaches. I agree. Like Rutgers, they getting these two kids for one year. They had Rutgers lit, but they're not even good.

Yeah. I mean, it was a waste of their time, really. Nah, facts, bro. And all this with like, AJ Menaes is not about to go win a national championship at BYU next year. He should be able to go to the league, but because he gonna get what he's supposed to get, and he's gonna hoop, and then we not gonna care no more.

Nah, and BYU gonna be back to normal again. Unless they got some more cheerleaders. Unless you wanna just have it lit for a year. Like, we just trying to get this popping for a year. People will come, like, Ruggers is lit. They not having a good year. Nobody's going to Ruggers next year. You know what I mean?

It's back to regular scheduled programming. It's not like the inspiration I was back in that. We used to see like the Fab Five, the Carolinas. I wanna go be a part of that. If you one of them top lower percentile kids is just like, all right, I'm about to go get this bread. If I go to leave. And they got some-

U.S.C type shit. Yeah, but if you let these kids go to the NBA, cause let's be honest, they go to, they go do one year of school. It don't matter who you are. So if you're a five star kid, even if you have in a good year or a bad year, most of them leave.

The good ones, they get drafted first round or whatever. They play, they either be turning to superstars, stars, or whatever they're doing, they go about their life. But then you got the other guys who leave after one year who didn't get drafted or were second round picks, they end up falling off. Like I just think of a kid named Kennedy Chandler. No shot at him, but he was a five star point guard.

I just remember him, because people would let me, he played like you. But he went to Tennessee, went for one year, played, got a second round pick, and now he's a journeyman trying to figure it out, which is nothing wrong with it. But you know, he's a young guy. He's probably like 23, 21, something, 22.

And he's trying to figure it out, and all these young dudes leaving school early, when you could have just let most of these good players go to the league out of high school, with a, like a Cooper flag, all these dudes, cause it just went straight out of high school, and now the guys, like a Candy Chandler, could go to school, and they could be good players,

and the pressure won't be on them. Like, you know, when you go one and done, people tell you five star, you're supposed to be one and done, all these dudes, like. You believe in that, then your game don't really transpire, you probably really needed to stay and work on your guys. I could have a bunch of guys. Casius, like Casius Stanley.

Hell yeah. I remember him at Duke. Remember the Brian Nash? Did the Marty Bailey leave early? The Marty Bailey? Oh yeah, all these kids and now they journeyman because they was supposed to be one and done. When they could have went to college

and there would have been no pressure to be one and done. They could have just went and hooped. He could have did to college and it would have been no pressure to be one and done. They could have just win hooped. He could have did three years at UCLA and been straight. It would have been a top 20 pick. Now they don't got no degree. And now they journeyman trying to figure it out. And it's like they were more than capable basketball player but they just needed more time.

But since they were supposed to be one and done, they were tempted to go to college and be there for one year, I'm out. And they do it anyway, and now they forgot about it. Yeah. That's true. Well said. Well said for sure, man. We appreciate the questions in the chat.

We'll have a day this week where y'all can ask plenty more, but we're gonna get up out of here. Great episode dropping today at 12 p.m. Lock in for the podcast, Club 520.
