Starting point is 00:00:58 mixing you up with Alexander Nasty. I had the two mixing fucking headbands got me. That's my bad. My boy Alexander ain't been doing a motherfucking thing. That's the pressure.
Starting point is 00:01:10 They said they were just like, that nigga ain't watching the game. My brother hit me like, nigga, you fucked up. I'm like, bro, the headbands got me. My fault. Shout out to the headbands. To my right, my dog, Young Nacho. Young T, how you up this morning? I'm chilling, man.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Watched some good games last night. Well, a good game last night. For sure. Before we get to the game, we got to acknowledge the feats. You know what I'm saying? Normally, 520, we go crazy with the footwork, but you pulled out some heat today. You know what I'm saying? I ain't seen no tens in a while.
Starting point is 00:01:35 I'm about to hoop in these. Disrespectful. Yeah, that's why I had them on. I'm about to hoop in them. Is that a good shoe to hoop in, though? One of the best drawers to hoop in, for sure. For real? Yeah, they cool to hoop in. You got to put a little baby powder under that so them best shoes to hoop in, for sure. For real? Yeah, they cool to hoop in.
Starting point is 00:01:45 You got to put a little baby powder under their soul. Them hoes good. They're going to be squeaking soon. Yeah, they're going to squeak. They're going to church mouse in that joint for sure. Damn. But, man, we're going to start off with last night. Mavs, Timberwolves, great basketball.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Amazing basketball game. Obviously, the Mavs got that. I don't even know where to start with that because so much happened in that game. But, like we said last year, once they figured it out, Luka Kyrie could really go get four games against anybody. And that's what it's looking like right now. Yeah, that dynamic is special. Kyrie came out the gate strong.
Starting point is 00:02:17 I thought he was going for one of those special Kyrie moments, like going for 50 or something like that. But he did what he had to do to keep the game close in the first half. Timberwolves came out with a lot of energy. They was at home, they were playing well, but Luka was struggling a little bit in the first half, but Kyrie was able to maintain shit. Yeah, and it was fire how everybody acknowledged
Starting point is 00:02:37 when Kyrie came out like super aggressive. They was just like, oh, he heard it in the interview, he was like, now I'ma set the tone. But to hear his post game, he was just like, I mean, some of that was in the play, but I realized last year when i got in the playoffs ain't nobody else been here but me and ain't nobody been as far as i have outside of lucas went to the western conference finals but he had to set the tone he went crazy last night
Starting point is 00:02:55 no he killed he killed they gotta do something about that lob though the minnesota timberwolves man they was killing their ass on that lob drop coverage you know boy shitty bro they got they gotta get better at that that's what killed them for real and those second chance points killed them yeah the rebounded i mean they went crazy with that i i'm used to seeing minnesota get those type of advantages well they had a disadvantage all the time because they're trying to put two on the ball and the drop coverage with Rudy you give Luka and them can put guards on their hip and still make plays and if you step up a little bit it's a lob to the rim or they're gonna shoot that little runner so they in a they in a bind a little
Starting point is 00:03:34 bit I seen at the beginning they was trying to trap Kyrie and when they put two on the ball just open up for lobs they got too many guys that can high fly so it's a tough coverage but I mean it was working they really had the game. Yeah, for sure. They had it. Yeah, like you said, I mean, even if you look, J McDaniels, another elite game, like way to show the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:03:55 And struggled yesterday, but despite his offensive struggles, he still showed up in the fourth. And he also, people didn't pay attention, at one point he had eight points, and I was like, I didn't even show up. He had like nine rebounds, and like he was very, very serious.
Starting point is 00:04:07 He was there yesterday. He almost had a triple-dub. Shout out to Cat. Cat showed up yesterday. Yeah. Cat kept them in the game in the fourth quarter. He got a lot of big buckets. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Them niggas got to hit the boards, bro. They got to hit the boards more. Fucking Rudy Goldberg got to fucking catch the ball. He dropped the ball on some critical moments, man. I loved how everybody was just like, A was going against like three people in the lane. They was like, why is he dropping it off? I said, because every time he does, Rudy can drop the fucking
Starting point is 00:04:35 ball. So at this point, he might as well try something different right now. But shout out to Rudy. Nas gave him some great minutes yesterday, too. He had some big shots in him yesterday too Even for him I mean as good as he played yesterday He had a stretch in the game yesterday
Starting point is 00:04:49 Where he was cold Yeah But they keep fighting But I'm interested about that series That series is really good basketball Luka going crazy Shout out to PJ Washington too He did his thing too yesterday
Starting point is 00:05:00 Nasty Great game I don't know if we're going to say great game But he showed up when he needed to because he was struggling that game. But he hit that three and he fucked hitting all game. Hit the one you need to hit. But he was playing good defense, too. No, no, no. For sure. That's what I'm saying, bro.
Starting point is 00:05:13 That shit matters. I think the Mavs issue was they needed somebody else to hit a couple of them shots because Luke and Kyrie really carried the hell out of them. Yeah, they both had 30. Nobody else was really scoring on the offensive end. That's what I'm saying. Niggas was playing good defense, though, for sure.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Yeah. They're going to need some harder way to have a moment. I'm going to tell you, X and one of them are going to have to come in and make some plays, make some shots. I've seen they gave Hardy a little tick at the beginning of the game, but he's capable of scoring. Yeah. They're going to need one more guy that can put the ball in the basket.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I think if Josh Green can just kind of calm down a little bit, I think he could definitely contribute to that. Because, man, I was really getting back on that block. It's crazy. But that pass from Luka with Soey Lee, bro, you have to finish that. Yeah. A full-court bounce pass, like, bro, that's crazy. I don't see him having another one of them type of games in the beginning, though.
Starting point is 00:06:02 I don't know why they keep saying he was tired. I mean, I'm sure that fatigue came into it. Shit, I ain't on my road to end the game. My boy was holding that hip. But he keep falling through that shit. That's why I fuck with him, man. He keep going like, damn, we really can't count on nobody else. They need me to get some buckets, so fuck it.
Starting point is 00:06:19 A game seven, guarding Jamal Murray, full court, and then coming back around and guarding an even better scorer in Kyrie, you're going to get tired. That's why it's not meant for people to guard the best player every game when you're the primary scorer. You're going to have to take some time, man. You're going to have to go guard P.J. Washington for a little bit here and there. He can't do that for a whole game.
Starting point is 00:06:43 It's not possible. Thank you all for saying that because i was like yeah he was in the battle yesterday but his fatigue isn't just because he's not in shape or not conditioned or ready for the moment it's because he just guarded two of the best offensive players in the nba don't smoke cigarettes man i mean bro lived it you feel me so that shit matters though bro but he was trying to do whatever he could for his team i'll fuck with it yeah they're gonna have to figure out a different game plan though that ain't gonna work he can't guard them that long and get buckets i mean like you said cat played great but they need one more score too nas did
Starting point is 00:07:13 his thing but i think mike gonna have to be a little more aggressive yeah mike wasn't aggressive at all in the beginning he only had like six points i believe you know i gotta ask you coach t do you try that method one more time with the drop coverage? I mean, I know that's kind of the identity to an extent, but do you try that one more game, or do you immediately come out game two and say, we can't have this? They're going to have to. Rudy cannot come up.
Starting point is 00:07:35 He cannot slip the foot. He can't get up there and trap the ball screen. There's no way. He's going to get blown right by. So that's the coverage you got to play with Rudy. I think they're probably going to play Nas a little more and just start switching. Just keeping people in front of people. So they can't get lobs, make them make contested shots.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Even though we know Luka and Kyrie can. But shit, I live with a contested shot instead of open dunks and lobs all over the damn place. Hell yeah, because I looked at Derrick Lively. He had three nice boys to the basket. He had a crazy URL, too. I didn't know he had that In his bag like that I had him fucked up
Starting point is 00:08:07 But between him and Gafford Like you said Getting easy attempts like that When everybody else Is out of rhythm Them is just points You can't afford to have Yeah for sure
Starting point is 00:08:14 But I mean They coverage worked Because they had the game won They had the game The fourth quarter They was up eight Yeah they had the game They just got to make
Starting point is 00:08:22 A couple more shots And get one or two more stops. It's that game. Luka went on that seven to run by himself. I was like, oh, shit. Yeah, that's when you got to start throwing people at him, though. Yeah. You got to start, like, when he start, you got to throw somebody at him.
Starting point is 00:08:36 You can't let him size people up, man. He's too good. Yeah. That nigga raw, bro. He's raw. Yeah, he too good, bro. He start sizing you up. You at his will. Like, it's raw. He's raw. Yeah, he too good, bro. He start sizing you up. You at his will.
Starting point is 00:08:48 It's over with. Yeah. And he got the size advantage against that. Not so many people would have that advantage against him. And damn, because that's been what we had to top the key. I was just like, damn. He fat, really? BBL Lucas.
Starting point is 00:09:02 That's the use your body. Yeah. He is that person Boom He probably weigh 250 bro 240, 250 He Big dude man
Starting point is 00:09:11 Pause Man Speaking of had the game I know I was waiting for that lead up I know I heard you say it twice Cheryl Miller Reggie Miller
Starting point is 00:09:23 Percy Miller Celtics in four. None of those people play for the Celtics, by the way. That's what I'm saying. Celtics in four. Fuck the Pacers. Hey, you know what, baby? Sweet.
Starting point is 00:09:36 You know what, baby? You got us fucked up. I ain't supposed to be cussing like this. I ain't supposed to be so damn sweet with this motherfucker. See how them Pacers fans get. I appreciate everybody Else who hit me up And say I see what
Starting point is 00:09:46 You been saying about Rick Out of pocket man Not calling the time out To advance the ball Not planning to foul We blew that game Terribly You have to foul
Starting point is 00:09:58 When you're up three You have to foul I don't know why They ain't foul as soon As Jalen Brown Caught the ball And I don't know why Pascal didn't foul as soon as Jalen Brown caught the ball. And I don't know why Pascal didn't put his hand up. Man.
Starting point is 00:10:11 So my biggest thing about that play is maybe I could see that you didn't want to foul there, but still foul anyway because make him hit three free throws. If that's the case. I'm putting my hand up. You're going to contest the shot. That's a lot of pressure to make three free throws. And that's a hell of a fucking shot by jaylen brown respect that's a that's a tough shot but like you said to hit three free throws you you deserve it if you hit all three though but my thing is prior
Starting point is 00:10:34 planning you didn't want to foul so there was no plan in place before the inbounds to say hey let's keep some keep them down here or away from here or have everybody out here and immediately get the ball and grab somebody below he didn't plan for that shit because he didn't want it to happen. And look what happened. Yeah, but you got to use your basketball cue at that point, bro, even if the coach don't tell you. If you feel that's the right thing to do, do it. Do it, bro.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I'm not blaming Rick for that game. Bro, that not advancing the timeout with the timeout, bro, to inbound better after he saw that we had a tough time getting the ball in? Yes, if we get the inbound in, the game is over. LeBron grabbing that clipboard, bro. Let's be real. Tyrese really smoked that game. Tyrese's two turnovers was terrible.
Starting point is 00:11:12 He smoked it again. He dribbling off his foot. Disgusting. I told you when Drew started doing that shit. When he had him on the left side of the court, I said, oh, my God, that left to right not going to work. He started doing that shit. I told you that shit. When he had him on the left side of the court, I said, oh my God, that left the right not going to work. He started doing that shit. I told you that shit get spooky. What you think?
Starting point is 00:11:29 He going to see. Come on, keep it at the patient's office. Don't speak ahead, King. We got plenty more recaps to go. I ain't going to lie. Watching the Boston play, I don't got a lot of confidence in him no more. Oh! They don't got the same of confidence in them no more oh they don't got the same when i watch dallas play i watch fucking mavericks play they got the same like energy
Starting point is 00:11:55 intensity like i see it like it jumps off the screen you like damn these motherfuckers won't win i don't see it with boston them my guys i only know people on them teams on boston and i just be like damn like and they offense is terrible to watch i ain't gonna lie man listen jason tatum was saved by that three he hit the ot because if he would have based off of what he did in that fourth quarter they they had the think pieces ready to hate on him because they've been waiting to hate on jason oh they can't wait they they was the clip pieces ready to hate on him because they've been waiting to hate on Jason Taylor. Oh, they can't wait. The clip was loaded. I saw a couple previews.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I said, oh, they are about to try to kill him, but we gave him the game anyway. But listen, I don't know what the series is going to do, but after watching that game one, the way that they played,
Starting point is 00:12:36 yeah, they're going to have to get Porzingis back and Myles Turner show his ass. Yeah. I don't think Myles is going to play that great every single game, but if he can give us something like that, we got a chance for sure. Now, y'all got a chance. Y'all definitely going to play that great Every single game but if he can give us something like that
Starting point is 00:12:45 We got a chance for sure Y'all got a chance y'all definitely going to beat them at home I just don't like their offense Man it's too much isolation Bro they ISO every single time That ain't going to work The Mavs got the two best ISO players in the league besides
Starting point is 00:13:01 Jalen Brunson really And they don't ISO that much God damn bro Y'all ISO every single time damn players in the league besides Jalen Brunson, really. And they don't ISO that much. Damn, bro. Y'all ISO every single time. Damn. And you know what? Playing against Jalen Brunson. Shout out to the Knicks. Prepared us for that series. That's why I was about to
Starting point is 00:13:17 go over the truth for that. I found these at the... Somebody had a garage sale. They came up with some cigarettes. But that series prepared us for this because I was like, damn, we get to play defense and don't get called for fouls every two I found these out that somebody had a garage sale that came with some cigarettes. That series prepared us for this because I was like, damn, we get to play defense and don't get called for fouls every two seconds?
Starting point is 00:13:30 This shit's amazing. It's crazy. Y'all got the team to load up on them though. The mismatches ain't that crazy. JT just ain't killing them. He had a rough game. And he won't play that bad again.
Starting point is 00:13:47 He won't play that bad again. That's a mismatch I expect for him to explore I would hope at least I'm expecting him to play better I mean yeah he's great He's good enough to kill y'all But I don't know Well shit when Tyree shoot the ball We look like a totally different team
Starting point is 00:14:01 Cause I mean outside of them terrible turnovers he had He was killing. Yeah, he got to keep being aggressive for sure. But you know, my thing is they probably going to beat y'all game two. For sure. Boston known for giving up game two. So, yeah, I might have a chance. That's why I think that we should have won game one
Starting point is 00:14:16 because they've lost the last game two's last two series. I'm like, they probably going to give us that one. Game three, four at home, y'all going to smoke them. I like this energy. Nah, I just know how y'all play at home y'all play our game t.j mcconnell turned into steve nash for real he be killing everywhere though i ain't gonna lie i'm definitely getting a t.j mcconnell jersey man t.j nash he be hooping bro this shit up bro i swear to god he be hooping bro he is good bro I don't know how though I be like damn how is he killing y'all
Starting point is 00:14:48 Like y'all know what he gonna do He's smart bro He going right He only taking two dribbles left to the middie Or he going hard right to the middie Like he don't dribble left He don't dribble his left hand much No left hand
Starting point is 00:15:03 If it's in there it's the gather He don't got no left hand Like damn y'all, he... No left hand. If it's in there, it's together. Yeah, he don't got no left hand drill. I'm like, damn, y'all still ain't figured this shit out. He play hard. I told him,
Starting point is 00:15:10 we got the real white boy, Peyton Pritchard. You don't want to see J. McConnell smoke. That's crazy, bro. Rick Ross boys. Come on, Al Horford. Forget these motherfuckers
Starting point is 00:15:19 the fuck out of here. Oh, no, Al Horford, please stay on the court. My boys started off hot. They got a... It's a real splash, bro. They keep... You see what happened the rest of the game, though. Oh, God, Al Horford, please stay on the court. My boys started off hot. They got a switch. It's a real splash, bro. They keep – You see what happened the rest of the game, though.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Oh, God, Christmas. They had him like, Rudy, they dropped the cover. We got them switches to say yes. Y'all was hitting tough threes. We were. Y'all was hitting tough threes. I live with them, though. I don't know how often y'all going to hit them.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Not in Boston. In Gainesbridge, we'll hit them. Oh, yeah. Them hard do be making some big shots, too. Hey, listen, man. He's good to me. Andrew Nympar gives me a headache, but I swear to God, in the clutch, I am not mad at Andrew Nympar many.
Starting point is 00:15:55 I like him, bro. Nah, in the fourth quarter, he good. The rest of the game, he ass. I ain't going to do it like that. No, I'm being real. The first three quarters, I'd be like, yeah. Then the fourth quarter, I'd be like, I like him. No, I'm being real. Like, the first three quarters, I'd be like, yeah. Then the fourth quarter, I'd be like, I like him. Yeah, I...
Starting point is 00:16:09 He one of the best defenders to just be like, what the fuck he... All right, cool. The first half, I'm like, Andrew, you play defense well. What the fuck are you doing right now? In the second half, I'd be like, my nigga. Yeah, he one of them. His first half is trash. His first three quarters be rough.
Starting point is 00:16:25 That fourth quarter, I believe in him. It don't matter what's going on. He'll take that shot, and I appreciate that. Yeah, in the fourth quarter, I was like, damn, he going to hit that. Every time he shoot, I think he going to hit. But on first three, man, I had a parlay on him. I don't know why. For the first quarter, he was going to have six points.
Starting point is 00:16:41 What the fuck was I thinking? You was wild. Oh, yeah, you. Six points, that's tough. I know he could hit two threes. Just to put that in the first quarter is crazy, though, bro. That was just shit.
Starting point is 00:16:51 It was like $10, went $1,000 or something. I was like, shit. You was fucking off some trees. I was going to say, if that tempo was fucking... I was like, all right, $10. Maybe hit a couple layups now.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I was like, you might get a fast break, hit a three, get fouled. That's what folks be saying too it's only two threes that's tough in the NBA game I hate when people
Starting point is 00:17:10 really believe that I'm like they play so fast but he might get hot hit his first three but what he is you think about this he's like alright
Starting point is 00:17:18 six points for his card and he be like alright go look for his entire line of the game it be like two and a half under two and a half boys don't even be getting attempts like that he'd be having six points for the game
Starting point is 00:17:29 expecting somebody to cover the first quarter is crazy for real when you think about it they play so fast i'm like no way he can't get two threes or a layup like a cherry pick layup foul something you a starter it just be funny when you see them odds and start stuff you but all right he can hit this and then where you look at all the lines like damn this for the game then rick subbed him out with like six minutes on i was hurt i was like man we came out six minutes tj mcconnell came running in did you see what happened we started off oh and 12 we needed a change of pace immediately damn bro i think rick needs to do that too i think that
Starting point is 00:18:05 his tj minutes need to be layered better to end games because i don't like when we have a like i swear our bench be getting us the lead keeping the lead and pushing it at times and then we get to the end of the game with the starters that didn't kind of really do that much by side of maintaining it's like oh so you're expecting them to do what they did put tj in the game sometimes to close the game because when we get stagnant, bro, we don't have too many people who can create, and we don't have too many people who really need to think with the ball in their hands. Yeah, TJ should be in the games, because he can guard, he can defend.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Yeah. And he ain't scared of the moment. He'll get to that basket. He going right, right, and more right. He's going to get there, though. He need to be in the game. I'm a fan. For sure, man. But shout out to the Celtics. They won that game. I think it's going to get there, though. He needs to be in the game. I'm a fan. For sure, man.
Starting point is 00:18:46 But shout out to the Celtics. They won that game. I think it's going to be a fire series. I think we're getting blessed both ways with the series in the West, too, because it's elite basketball right now. He had two games and went down to the wire one and went to OT. And shit, I feel like any way we get a combination of these finals is going to be good basketball.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Yeah, and it's some fun teams to watch, though. I mean, like we said, the Celtics' offense is boring, but they got special players on their hands. So one of them can go for 40. Jay LeBron can go for 40 at any time. So you know you can see a special moment or whatever in a game. And then the Dallas and fucking Minnesota series is just one that we all want. Hell, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:23 And what I think, though, about it is you got all the franchise players potentially winning their first ring. Yeah, in fact. So no matter what, it's a win for everybody because we're seeing somebody get crowned in that situation. And that's going to take the narrative in the next season because whoever get that chip this year, they're going to say it's number one.

Starting point is 00:20:30 want that? Listen now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Do you think what Kenny Smith said is real? They said whoever win between Luka and AE, they the face of the NBA now.
Starting point is 00:20:48 It really don't matter what the Celtics or Pacers do. That's a fact. I would definitely heavily lean into that. Me too. Definitely lean into that. In so many different ways, because if Dallas wins another championship, then I'm not going to call them small market,
Starting point is 00:21:01 but it does help push the small market narrative. With on top of Luka being the face a wins then it's over because now you got personality and charisma back into the nba it's the way they carry themselves and make them the face like i like y'all know i love jt that's my guy but he's so kobe bryant like that you can't you can't really get a gauge of him like you just be like damn he just does everything by the book and ae come with this flair talking shit he don't give a damn he want to guard everybody he want to play against the best he ain't talking he don't say none of that normal shit like you know i'm just happy to
Starting point is 00:21:35 be here like now i'm supposed to be here and i'm better than all of them yeah and you like i'll fuck with that how the fuck and then luca he do the other shit. Like, you know, I'm just good, man. Like, I don't know. He just do the fake humble shit. Then he get on the court and he talk mad shit. And he like, they sad and he start speaking in his native language, whatever that is, and he start going crazy on them. Like, I just fuck with the new generation, man.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Them two dudes do it right. Nah, bro, don't get to talk to me in your native tongue, bro. Whooping, bro, you taught me English, bro. Kobe used to do it. Shit crazy. But you remember, like, you couldn't, R.P. Bean, but you couldn't like Kobe when he was in the NBA. You just couldn't relate.
Starting point is 00:22:17 You never knew. I was not a fan. I was like, he like a robot, bro. Yeah, because you wanted him to have a little bit more personality. Well, I think the shift came after his, later his career. You know what I'm saying? robot bro yeah because you want him to have a little bit more personality well i think this shift came after his later his career you know i'm saying after the black mama stuff i think that kind of changed the narrative with kobe and even then people didn't like kobe as much as i say we became more enamored with kobe post career towards the end because we got to see his
Starting point is 00:22:41 personality we got to see what his teammates said about him but at that time period you just saw an asshole who was really good at basketball. Yeah. And you had to be a Laker fan or a real, real Kobe fan to really respect that. Yeah, I didn't really fuck with that. But Kobe was great.
Starting point is 00:22:54 You respected the work ethic, for sure, if you wanted to. You wanted to lock in like that. But you wanted somebody you could really relate to. Anthony Edwards is, whether he win or not to me, is the face of the NBA. Anthony liked Bron before people started criticizing Bron. You remember how Bron, they used to take pictures before the game. Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Doing all them poses and shit. And he had the Cavs turn. That's kind of how A.E. got the Minnesota turn. Like, Cleveland, a small market. Nobody really wanted to go to Cleveland. But when they was on TV, they was turned. He had Mo Williams turn. had Mo Williams turn yeah that's kind of how he got them he got Jay McDaniels bro looking cool in some instances well he got people that are very undesirable amongst NBA media looking like you gotta respect it if you don't like him. Even Draymond hate Rudy, and he still be trying to,
Starting point is 00:23:47 he be hiding the love in there, but even he got acknowledged at times. Yeah. That's a different level of respect. Yeah, he. He really, that's what I said, if he want to be 22, bro, he different, bro. He different.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Yeah, you could follow. I wouldn't mind if my kids looked up to him. I know he wilding, but you could be like him like if you talk crazy like him it's like a respectful talk crazy like i'll rock with it yeah for sure now i gotta ask you a couple things we get out of here obviously we've seen the all nba list came out um shout out to everybody who went from that 25 max to 30 max yeah good money um jalen brunson being second team all nba had people frustrated and i don't understand why um you look at that first team who they had with sga luca um jason tatum yannis and joker yeah i don't think he beat anybody out this year on that
Starting point is 00:24:40 and i think he had an amazing season i think jalen Brunson's one of the ones in the NBA. I think LeBron should have made second team over Kawhi though. I don't understand that at all. Yeah, I don't know how Kawhi made it. Yeah, I don't know why Kawhi even made it. I mean, I know the Clippers had a good season and they definitely had a stretch, they was going crazy. But I mean, if he would have been on third team,
Starting point is 00:25:00 that would have been fine too, but there was no, they put the side by side up with LeBron. There was no reason for him to be up there. That was was disrespectful bro yeah that's I don't get that at all um Devin Booker had a hell of a season but I don't see why he made it over Jalen Brown I don't either I don't like that either yeah and that's not obviously everybody had a great season to be considered all NBA but I think for Jalen Brown to play as well as he played this year to be on the number one team in NBA he should have been on the all-NBA team. Definitely. He carried a lot.
Starting point is 00:25:28 No, for sure. He did a lot of work this year that people may not acknowledge. I don't like it because for y'all to slight JT the way y'all slight him, then you have to acknowledge somebody else. You can't just slight JT and just say, no, but the team be winning. Nah, Jalen Brown be killing it if you're going to say JT. Nah, bro, he be killing it.
Starting point is 00:25:45 That's what I'm saying, bro. You can't have it both ways, bro. You can't slight or not acknowledge a nigga either. Nah, Jalen Brown be killing it if you're going to say JTAD. Nah, bro, he be killing it. That's what I'm saying, bro. You can't have it both ways, bro. You can't slay or not acknowledge a nigga either. Nah, Jalen Brown, he one of them. He should have been on all NBA teams for sure. I see Tyrese Maxey.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I just think it's tough because Steph killed the shit too, even though they wouldn't. I would have picked Tyrese Maxey over Steph. Just because their team was better.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I don't disagree, especially with the disagree And he carried And B was out And B was out And I ain't no disrespect to Steph Everett He the greatest all the time But he ain't really had nobody out No he didn't bro
Starting point is 00:26:20 That roster wasn't the best Drake mom was Drake mom missed a couple weeks. They still had. He had to go to summer camp. They still had Klay. They still had the majority of their team. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:35 And B is the Sixers. For sure. That's their team. And Tyrese Maxey kept them afloat. And he murdered this year. Murder. Damn, that's crazy Alright man Listen
