basketball team beat belgium 87 74 the team was led by was led again by stewie she had 26 points
seven rebounds three blocks she was tremendous she was
tremendous to start the game scoring 11 of the first 15 points but then the big dog get started
to eat asia wilson 23 points 13 rebounds three steals as they continued their quest to get their
eighth straight gold medal they haven't lost since the 1992 olympics which was in barcelona
and uh i don't see them losing to this Olympic.
Yeah.
Oh,
Joe,
what did you see?
What did you like about team USA?
I mean,
listen,
they were dominant.
They were dominant.
Now what does scare me,
but it's kind of different because I've already talked to you about it and
understanding that the,
the international competition,
as far as women's basketball is concerned,
hasn't caught up to the women's as opposed to the men's.
So today we had two starters that had zero points.
But I think obviously because the big dogs step up and played the way they did and there's really no competition as far as in that they're going to have to face,
that can kind of scare them if you have people that are playing, especially starters that aren't putting up points because everyone else is scoring.
There's really nobody to challenge them
and kind of scare them from winning that goal.
So I think they're going to be fine.
I mean, based off what you've told me and me watching,
they're not going to lose.
I mean, having starters not score at all in four quarters,
it's not good.
It made me a little nervous.
It made me a little nervous.
That's all.
Right.
Yeah, but we're so dominant.
And the reason why, Ocho, the money.
You make more money playing internationally than you play in the WNBA.
So why am I going to come play in the WNBA, make less money,
than I can play making a brawl?
See, the men, they can't do that.
You make more money in the NBA than you do playing a brawl.
So Luka and Jokic and Giannis and all those other
guys, they're going to come play.
Shea Gildress, Jamal Murray,
R.J. Barrett, Dylan
Brooks and those guys. And you got
Bogdanovich. So you got so
many guys. The NBA
is where the money is. Actually,
in the WNBA, that's not where the
money is. It's international. And so
you don't get the same level of men in the WNBA like you get the women.
The women, excuse me.
You don't get the level of the WNBA women international players like you get the men.
But consider Stewie, dominant, Asia Wilson, 23-13, three steals.
They had, I think, 58 rebounds by almost 30.
Got to get a little better with the turnovers.
Yeah. This game probably should have got almost 30 got to get a little better with the turnovers yeah this
game probably should have got probably could have got a little uh the u.s probably could have got
could have rested a little more comfortable had they taken a little better care of the basketball
right but you know look you got the two best players on what and they're on the same team
you got asia uh who's gonna be the mvp for the third time right You got Asia, who's going to be the MVP for the third time.
You got Stewart, who's been a two-time MVP.
I mean, look, we got the dominant players.
And unless somebody can get hot from three,
I don't see a situation where they're going to be able to score enough points
in order to beat the U.S. women team.
That's my concern.
Can someone get hot from three?
Because that's the equalizer.
Because nobody else has two post players.
Belgium had a nice post player, I forget her name, Ojo,
who had 24 points.
But when you look at Stewart and you look at Asia
and you still got Brittany Griner that can give you,
you know, at any given night, she can give you a double-double.
Right.
I just don't see an international team that has the post-presence of those two.
So now, what do I have to do to beat you?
Because I can't beat you in points in the paint.
So now I got to get behind the three-point line and out-shoot you.
Right.
And that's the question.
Can someone get hot enough from the three-point line and out-shoot these young ladies?
Not going to happen.
Definitely not going to happen.
Okay, Ocho.
Algerian boxer.
I mean, Khalif?
Is that how you say her name, Ash?
Yeah, Khalif.
Khalif.
The main Khalif, yeah.
Won her first match of the Paris 2024 Olympics
when her opponent, Angela Carini of Italy,
quit after taking several blows to the face
in the opening round of the bout.
The victories were few.
Misguided controversy around Khalif,
who's been targeted by critics
and has been misgendered throughout the games.
Khalif's participation in the women's boxing
has been scrutinized in recent days
after reports resurfaced that she failed to meet gender
eligibility tests of the Women's World
Boxing Championship in
New Delhi last year. At the time,
sporting officials alleged that the
boxer failed to an unspecified test
because they had
male chromosomes. Khalif
was born a woman and has always
competed as a woman.
See?
You got me confused, man.
You got me confused because you said
a whole lot of
everything,
but to me it's registered as nothing.
She was born a woman. Are you sure?
She was born a woman. She was.
Here's the thing. I don't know if you watch
it, but when they bring these doctors, because
right now there's a lot of transgender people trying to get right.
Right. And when they bring these people to Capitol Hill and these senators and these representatives on the other side, when they ask, they ask doctors very specific questions.
Yes, sir. Doctor, I want to ask you one thing. Can this person that you're talking about can they have a child can this woman have
a child right yes she can okay does this woman have a period yes she does so how is she not a
woman biologically and anatomically how is she not a woman right now the problem that i have this is
a very similar situation yes sir i don't know if you followed it no i haven't that's why you got me a little confused now how about this there was a there was a young lady from
south africa her name was castor saminia she had high she was born a woman right but her body
produces high levels of testosterone okay What they wanted her to do in
order to compete against women,
they wanted her to
take blockers to block
it. So you want me now, you don't
want me to take things to help me
win, which is PEDs,
but you want me to ingest
something into my body to
suppress what God has made me.
You said God made everybody always say, oh, they say God made you man and woman.
Yes, sir.
OK, he made her like this.
So in order for you to compete, I need.
No, I'm not right.
Every man doesn't have the same level of testosterone.
But if he's born with those parts, is he any less of a man?
So because if a woman is born with those parts, right, and she produces a high level of testosterone. But if he's born with those parts, is he any less of a man? So because if a woman is born with those parts
and she produces a high level of testosterone,
does that make her any less of a
woman?
I'm asking, what do you think?
No.
Because for the longest time,
can she conceive a child?
Does she have a period?
I'm going to give it to you simple. I don't want to get into all Can she conceive a child? Does she have a period? That's all that matters.
I'm going to give it to you simple.
Right.
I don't want to get into all of this and what she chose to identify as.
See, that's where I'm kind of confused now.
She's not identifying as a woman.
God gave her those parts.
So Iman.
She got the parts.
That's the car case
you know
Oto
you like cars don't you
yes sir
you ever watch Mecham
you ever watch Barrett Jackson
they say this car
has the original parts
right
the original parts
car
is worth more
right
this
this
Khalif
those are her
original
parts
nothing has been added nothing has been taken away This Khalif, those are her original parts.
Nothing has been added.
Nothing has been taken away.
So Iman Khalif is a woman then?
She's a woman.
Oh, okay.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
No problem.
Because on Twitter, I've been watching, seeing all the clips with the boxer and they say
the person that was in the ring was transgender
and it was a man.
They said the same thing about
Caster Semenya. Because her
body, I think she was born with an extra
chromosome, which allows her body
to produce more testosterone
than the average female body will produce.
Okay, okay.
But guess what, Ocho? She can still,
the question that they always ask and I know you
heard it yeah can she conceive a child and does she have a period okay does that not make you
female right does that not make you woman I thought the ability to reproduce is what separated
so now it doesn't I'm just trying to figure out. Because her body produces more testosterone,
that does not make her any less of a woman
if she has the...
And I'm not trying to be graphic,
but if she has female parts,
she's a woman.
Yeah, most definitely.
And hold on.
Original female parts,
not parts that have been added.
But you can get
sexual reassignment
and become a different gender.
Boy, they really do that, boy?
Put them things together like
Legos? Yeah, it couldn't slip.
Yeah.
Some people do.
Some people feel that they're
trapped.
They're a male trapped inside a
female's body. They're a female trapped
and so they want to, whatever.
I don't, I ain't got nothing to do with me.
I don't care.
Listen, I want to make sure I'm
looking down the barrel of this one.
I don't care what you want to be.
I don't care what you identify as.
You can be a laptop, a tree, a lamp, male, female.
That ain't got nothing to do with me.
I'm not here to try to live your life.
That's what you want to be.
And you're not harming anyone.
Take off with it.
But we're talking specifically about this case.
It's reported that her body, the same as Castor Semenya, if you go look her up, she's a two-time 800-meter champ.
Her body, she's born, if I'm not mistaken, born with an additional XY chromosome.
It's rare.
It's extremely rare.
I don't know if it's one in 10 million, one in 15 million.
I don't know the probability or the likelihood of it happening, but it happened.
And the question is that when they have these doctors and they're talking and all the the the the representatives asked
can this person bear children does this person have a period can they get a period yes sir
if the answer to both of those are yes what is it she's a she if she can do those two things but now they say well
if you want to compete against the women because your body not it's not something that you've done
to your body right what about god because you know god made us man he made male and people
that's what they say god made yeah did. Did not God make her like this?
Aren't we all God's children?
He created us.
So if he created her, who are we to say, well, if you want to compete, you're a woman.
But if you want to compete with the women, well, this is what you're going to have to do.
I refuse to.
That's crazy.
No.
That's crazy.
So if my bot, Ocho, let let's just say but i don't know the average i guess
obviously your highest testosterone is when you're going through puberty that's why you get the voice
change you see guys start getting the facial hair so that's the highest testosterone levels are
going to be let's just say it's 1500 2000 let's just say for the sake of argument Ocho naturally you got somebody that has a testosterone
of 3,000
2,500 3,000
and you're
freakish ungodly
you're you're you're who is that
like me like me go ahead like me
who is that uh Samson
you're stronger than Samson
me go ahead okay
you're stronger than Samson like Ocho yeah. Go ahead. Okay. You're stronger than Samson like
Ocho. Yeah. And they said, well, Ocho,
you're too strong
in order to
participate.
So, if you want to participate
with the 10-year-olds,
you're going to have to take these
blockers to reduce
the level of testosterone in your body.
Ain't happening.
Ain't doing anything happening, Captain.
No.
This is the way a man upstairs
made me.
They want the same thing in
Castor Semenya. She went to the court of
arbitration.
She lost.
And she's like, I'm done.
I'm not going to take these blockers.
Right.
God made me like this.
I can have a child.
I can get a period.
I can do all those things.
So for me, it, it does.
It didn't, I don't know what the hullabaloo is unless they could, you, you stop, stop
with this.
Oh, she's trans based on what?
Because she has a high level of testosterone when it's been proven that she has female parts.
So we have other people just trying to identify her as something that she's not as far as trans entering.
Because there's a there's a there.
Listen, there's an agenda here.
And I agree.
Oh, Joe, I don't believe if you're born a man and then you take drugs, you say, you know what?
I want to identify as a woman.
You shouldn't be allowed to participate in women's sports.
How is that fair?
Yeah, it's not.
Even at my old ass age, if I said, you know what?
I want to be a woman and I started taking blockers,
what a woman going to be able to do with me, Ocho,
my big, strong, rust ass?
So what do you think about a 25, 30-year you'll be like 25 30 year old yeah you'll be like
you want a man man yeah so no if that's how you want to live i got no problem with that right
right i support your right to be able to live however you want to live as long as you're not
harming anybody but as far as participating in women's sport oh hell, hell no. Yeah. No, no,
I can't rock with that.
That's where I draw the line.
That's why I say no,
no can do.
If you want to,
man,
want to become a woman,
a woman want to become a man.
Hey,
I love,
I love whoever you want to be.
You're going to make a contribution to society.
Take off with it.
Yes,
sir.
But participating in men,
participating in women's sport after they
decided and they take whatever whatever the case may be they take these these blockers and they
take these these hormones nah oh i can't rock with that yeah all right ain't no sense in me
lying i ain't finna get up here it's oh yeah no no no no no i mean i'm not participating yeah i'm
curious to hear how anybody can make sense of it anyway.
How can anyone make sense of it?
A man identifying as something else outside of what he was born for.
And then I'm allowing him or him, her to compete in women's sports in general.
How can someone even agree?
It makes sense of that in general.
I would love to hear the context in which it in which it does make sense regardless of the rules regardless of you
being able to do it in general like it it just i don't know it's weird it's weird let let i mean
like i said her she has the like i said i'm trying to give it to people i'm trying to help people
understand uh i'm a car enthusiast i love cars uh old school muscle cars whether you're talking
about the hemi whether you're talking about the cuda when you're talking about the gto
whatever the case may be the uh you know the ram air all that the camaro i'm good yeah when these
cars go come up for auction and they'll be in value that 1 million 2 million 3 million or you're talking about a a gto a ferrari um that's going for 30 and 40
and 50 million dollars shit they say the car they say the car has its original parts right the way
it came off the showroom floor right in 1950 and 1960 and 1970 today in 2024 the car has its original parts the way she came
out of her mother's womb
does this person
have the original parts
as she came out of the womb
if she does what's the discussion
if she has female parts
what's the discussion
I don't care if her body
no
but we gotta stop doing we got to start doing this
we got to start doing this
because I
don't get what
goods of it I get look look everybody
has you know agenda on certain
sides and want to push this
and want to push that I ain't trying to push nothing
I want people to live how you want
to live you're going to make a contribution
to society
take off with that I'm good with that I ain't I told you I don't I stay out of people
houses I stay out of people homes I stay out of people's bedrooms I stay out of people's lives
you ain't hold on you need to be you need to be Kayla Sharp you need to be Kiari Sharp you need
to be Kaylee you need to be Sterling you need to be a buck okay You need to be Kiari Sharp. You need to be Kaylee. You need to be Sterling. You need to be a bug.
Okay. I mean, yeah.
Yeah. Other than that. Yeah.
I ain't in your bedroom. What you
do, what you go to bed as
who you wake up
with. Yeah. Don't make me
don't make me not. No, that ain't
me. Don't make me want you to be.
What makes you happy at the end of the day?
What makes you happy? Right. Does that make you happy? Take off you to be happy. What makes you happy? At the end of the day, what makes you happy? Does that make
you happy?
Take off with that.
But
I think this is a very
similar situation to Casta Semenya.
She went through it.
She had an extra
Y chromosome, which her
body as a female produces more
testosterone than a normal female
body will produce. But at the end
of the day,
could she bear children? Does she
have a monthly?
That's what the old people call it. They call it monthly.
Yeah, that's all that matters.
That's it. Hold on now.
That's what matters when
we're arguing before one another.
Can you have... God said Adam and Eve?
God said he didn't say Adam and Steve.
OK, I get all that.
But at the end of the day.
I believe she's an Eve.
Right.
If she's an Eve, she should be able to fight against other Eve.
Mm hmm.
Or Esther, the other names, Mary, Mary Magdalene.
Esther.
That was in the Bible.
Yes.
So whoever else,
yes,
whoever else
born of that gender,
if she's of that gender,
she should be allowed
to participate.
So,
that's where I'm on that.
Ocho,
I mean,
you could,
I guess, I'm pretty sure, I think you are could, uh, I guess I'm,
I'm,
I'm pretty sure.
I think you are also like,
you believe that if she's a woman,
she should be allowed to participate.
I got it.
You,
you,
you believe that if she's born a woman.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Most,
most definitely.
I just think it's unfair if you're born a man and you want to later on in life,
you want to identify as something outside of that and then competing in women's sports. that's just wrong yeah that's what i'm just saying that's flat out wrong just
having a competitive advantage in general it's it makes no sense but uh it's it's for some reason
it seemed people have made sense of it you know those in positions of power have allowed people
to do that to to allow people to do that.
But that's neither here nor there.
Like you said, whatever makes you happy.
That's it.

Bocho, Simone
Biles soared to her second Olympic
all-around goal. She won
every all-around competition
since she's entered since
2013. A string of 37
in a row. That's how I don't understand
how I lost to
the world's greatest athletes when I got Michael Phelps
and Simone Biles. But anyway, a string
of 37 in a row. She created
five signature moves. 17
different women have finished second
to her. Only four of them. Ross
in the world in 2013,
Mustafa Fina in 2014 Worlds,
Lee at the 2019 Worlds,
and Cecily Jones at the 2023 World Competition,
have managed to get within less than a part of her.
Suni Lee wins bronze with her Triumph of Floor routine.
That's high.
Think about that.
Since, I think if you go back,
how many years?
I think if you had to go back
like 20 years,
all of the all-around champions
have been under the age of 20.
Yeah.
I mean, you got Nadia Kovanić.
I think she was the youngest.
I think she won it in 76.
She was 13 or 14.
You had Mary Lou Retton.
You had Gabby Douglas.
You had Tatiana Gutsu in 92. You had Shestanoton. You had Gabby Douglas. You had Tatiana Gutsu.
In 92, you had Shestanova.
In, what, 88?
You had
Naskia Lukens. You had
Suni Lee. So if you go
back and look, they've all been under the age of
20. I mean, as young as 13, 14.
He's 27.
Yeah.
She's 27, Ocho.
That's how good.
And like you said,
the question is,
could she potentially,
hell, could she potentially, Ocho,
be in L.A. in 28?
Yes, I told you.
Because if you can do what you're doing now at 27,
you're definitely still going to be able to do it.
Take a year off, let her body.
She can take two years off.
Two years is enough for her to come back.
Yeah.
And then you have two years to prepare and get ready
and get yourself, get your equilibrium right.
Get back to tumbling and flipping and doing whatever it takes.
It's muscle memory. She definitely can come back
in four in 2020.
I mean, that's
crazy.
Is that most of these women that
win this title,
she's seven years older than
eight, nine. I mean, you think
about Nadia. I think Nadia in 76, she had
to be 13 or 14.
Think about that, Ochoa.
There's a 13, 14-year age gap
from when she won as opposed
to, now this is her second one, I think
if she's the third, maybe the fourth
woman that's won multiple all around
at the Olympics.
I mean, she's
in a class by herself. And then if you
look at where she is,
her number, 59, and then you got somebody else like a point and a half up under. And then if you look at where she is, her number,
59,
and then you got somebody else
like a point and a half up under.
And then you got somebody
three points up under that
for the bronze.
That just goes to show you
how dominant
she's been.
It's like Katie Ledecky.
Katie Ledecky finished
in the race 17 seconds
in front of second place, Ocho.
Man, she done got out of the pool.
She waving.
And they still swimming.
They ain't touched the wall yet.
I mean, come on, Ocho.
Yeah. I mean,
that's how dominant Simone Biles is.
So congratulations, Simone.
Well done. Come back after what transpired in Tokyo and to
get back on that horse and to get back on that horse
and to get back in that saddle
and to do it again
and do it even better than you've done it before.
Congratulations.
Nightcap, Ocho, and I,
we take our, well, we don't have hats,
but if we had hats, we salute you.
We salute you.
Joel Embiid, who regularly has been starting for Team USA,
did not see the court at all
during America's 103-86
win over Sudan. Head coach
Steve Kerr said, told the reporters after
the game, the decision was based solely on
the matchup that Embiid will start next game.
Embiid has been subject to regular
criticism as a starter with
a number of calls to put Anthony
Davis in the starting five instead.
Davis had 13 points against Sudan
while Bam came off the bench
and chipped in with 18.
Ocho?
I kind of understand.
Do you like the way Coach Kerr
has been manipulating his starting lineup?
Remember one game?
Yeah.
Jason Tatum.
Harry Talleyburton didn't play.
The next game, Joel LeVie didn't play.
Right.
Are you okay?
Are you results-based?
All you care about is the gold medal, B.
I mean, listen, I care about the gold medal,
but now I have a better understanding on why Kerr is doing what he's doing.
So the matchups, the game, you needed smaller players.
Now, when they played Serbia, they had somebody down in the post,
somebody big, somebody of size,
so it made sense to have Joel Embiid
on the floor. Now, when they played South
Sudan, they had smaller players,
so you had more wings, you
know? And I think, defensively,
I think Joel Embiid might have
been a liability. Might have
been a liability on the court, you know,
them not being able to play well with him
there because of the personnel that they were playing against so i kind of understand it from from that
perspective and i'm sure there was a conversation before the game was had with mb and i'm sure the
same thing now i'm not sure who they play who they playing next i forgot who they playing next i don't
know lithuania yeah who did they play, Ash? I'm not sure either.
Yeah, but Joel Embiid is starting because based on the personnel
and the players that they have.
They play Puerto Rico.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
They play Puerto Rico.
If I'm not mistaken, South Sudan
just beat Puerto Rico
if I'm not mistaken.
Real?
Yeah.
This game?
Yeah.
Embiid is back and he's playing.
Why is he playing?
I'm sure Puerto Rico
has a big
they have somebody
60 left maybe
they definitely
don't got nobody
7 foot
but I'm sure
they got somebody
and it fits
based on the personnel
and who they playing
right
you know
and the thing is
is that
Joel Embiid
but here's the thing
with no 3 second call
hell
put Joel Embiid in the paint throw it thing, Ocho, with no three-second call, hell, just put Joel Embiid
in the paint, throw it down to him and let him turn
about and draw fouls or land in the
basket like you do in an NBA game.
You do it all game.
You could do it all game if you wanted to.
Yes.
So you, at the end
of the day, as long as we bring back the
goal, you're not really concerned about who plays or how much they play because at the end of the day, as long as we bring back the gold, you're not really concerned about who plays or how much they play.
Because at the end of the day, the end result is what matters.
Did the U.S. national team win the gold medal?
I think Steve Kerr has a very difficult job.
For one, all the players, they want to play.
I'm representing my country.
I want minutes.
I want to go.
I want to participate. I want representing my country. I want minutes. I want to go. I want to participate.
I want to contribute to helping us win gold.
But I think there's conversations that are had before it gets to the media with Jason Tatum.
I'm sure there was conversations had with Halliburton.
I'm sure there was a conversation had with Joel Embiid with an understanding of tactics and game plan based on who we're playing.
You might not get as many minutes as you want based on the personnel and who we're playing against.
No, I don't think...
He might have had that conversation with Embiid,
but I don't believe they had that conversation
with Jason Tatum.
You don't think so?
Because Jason Tatum...
Jason Tatum wouldn't have said
it would have been humbling
because he would have known,
Ocho, if they come and tell you,
Ocho, you're not playing today,
that's one thing.
You dressing out with the expectation
of playing and you
don't play is something entirely different.
Yeah, I don't know. For some reason, I
just really
don't really think he just didn't
know. I think he just said all the right things
once the mic was in front of him.
But you, Kerr,
had to have some type of conversation
with him, man.
Come on.
We going into a game,
a game of that magnitude
and your coach ain't communicating.
You know what?
You might not play.
Oh, well,
KD got the hot hand.
Okay, LeBron playing well.
Steph is playing well.
You know what?
We don't want to take KD out
because he has a hot hand.
There had to be something said.
Something had to be said for him to sit on that bench that entire game,
all four quarters.
Of the man that's on that roster this year,
there's only one first team all NBA selection.
That's Jason Tatum.
Yeah. And he didn't play a minute. There's only one first team all NBA selection. That's Jason Tatum.
Yeah.
And he didn't play a minute.
If you don't think, I don't care what you, so you think, you think, let me ask you a question.
Tell me the wide receiver that you can go to and say, you know what?
Even if it's all-star, even if it's the Pro Bowl game back then, guys wanted to play.
Pro Bowl game back then.
Guys wanted to play.
Hey, Coach. Hey, man, I ain't come all the way over here to fly out
12, 10 hours just to
throw me the ball.
I don't agree with it at all because he was visibly
upset. I told you that.
I don't agree with it.
He don't care nothing about that.
He listed Ocho.
Let me tell you how you know he cared because he listed it
he what did he tell you ocho he won the title got a big contract he on the cover of 2k yeah
sports illustrated he said it so don't you don't take my words he's speaking right i ain't japano
i ain't moving pinocchio he's speaking for himself he told you yeah he said i ain't Geppetto I ain't moving Pinocchio
he's speaking for himself
he told you
he said I ain't gonna lie
it's very humbling
very very humbling
listen I wasn't even
in a situation shoot
I felt bad
just looking at his face
his facial expressions
on the bench
it said it all
it said it all
because like I said Ojo
it's not
you're talking about one of the best players
you're talking about one of the best players yeah hold on think about this with ojo
we've been having a conversation me you and gil the next face of the nba didn't play a minute
and everybody's like that's okay think about what thatcho. The next face, a lot of people say
he got next.
Face of the NBA did
not play a minute
and they won by 26.
All the people
that's saying that it didn't
matter, ain't never been
involved with sports. Because
when you put that kind of
time in because the more the more time you put in oh joe the more effort you put in the more it hurts
when things don't go accordingly right you think that man gave up his summer to go sit on the bench
halfway across the country right of the world come on people sometimes y'all just i'll be looking at
y'all comment and y'all just say stuff y'all really do y'all just, I be looking at y'all comments and y'all just say stuff. Y'all really do.
Y'all just say stuff.
But as an athlete, as Ocho, and I can attest to, and I'm not saying I'm the equivalent football player as Jason Tatum is the basketball player.
That issue would have bothered me.
Yeah.
So, Ocho.
It would have bothered anybody that's a competitor in general, especially on the biggest stage of them all.
Yes!
Come on, man.
That's all I'm saying.
We go from saying this man got next.
He could potentially be the face of the NBA.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I don't know about that part, but okay, go ahead. No, Ocho, we was having a discussion.
Who is it going to be?
Is it going to be Jason Tatum?
Is it going to be Ant-Man? Is it going to be Ant-Man?
Is it going to be Ja Morant?
We live it.
Now, Ja, Ant, could be the face of the league.
But Jason Tatum doesn't have the cachet and the personality and the aura.
And there's a certain it factor that you have to have to be the face of the NBA.
And he's great in all he does.
The accolades, the resume,
it speaks for itself, NBA champion.
But there's something missing.
I don't know how to explain it.
I can't put it, I can't put it into words.
You know what I'm talking about.
And become a champion.
Yeah, but I'm saying,
many people believe that he has what it takes.
It's more to it than that.
Name a face of the NBA that wasn't a champion.
Name, let's run down the NBA, the face of the NBA. Name a face. Okay NBA that wasn't a champion.
Let's run down the face of the NBA.
Okay, you had Bird Magic.
You had Jordan.
Look at Magic Johnson.
Look at Michael Jordan.
Look at Kobe.
Look at the personalities.
Look at the attitude.
Look at the aura, the way they carry themselves.
He doesn't even fit.
He's not even close to them.
But what did they have?
I understand what you mean,
but you need more than just that to be the face of the NBA.
I don't know if you can...
Where people gravitate towards you
and the energy you bring.
I can see an Ant-Man.
Everybody would gravitate towards that.
A John Moran.
Not without a championship.
Okay.
Because that's what they placed on him now.
Now they make you less, Ocho.
What we've done, what we've done is like,
we make you less than if you don't have a title.
Because title's everything.
Right?
Why you playing, Shannon?
Why you playing, Ocho, if the title ain't the most important?
I know what you're talking about.
We talking about the face of the NBA, though.
And what it takes to be that. You can't say
all those that have won a title have
a different it factor
that they have within them. You're born
with that. There's nothing wrong
with Jason Tatum. He just doesn't have
that Kobe.
He don't have that Michael Jordan. He don't have
that magic.
I don't really know how to put it
into words, but I'm sure the chat understands
exactly what I'm talking about. Great player.
How about this?
So,
if Tom Brady,
Pat Mahomes,
Peyton Manning, are they the same?
I mean, complexion
wise, yeah.
No, they're not. Wait, wait, wait.
Mahone got a little tan to him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Listen, they're the same,
but then you would have to digest
and dive in statistically to separate them.
But you know what separated them?
No, I'm talking about as face of the NFL.
Oh.
Look at Fahey's demeanor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look at Tom Brady's demeanor.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're kind of all the same you know and remember when you're the face of the nfl of the quarterback you got to carry yourself a certain way now what i want to tell you is
you know tom brady off the field don't you yes no paid manning off the field don't you
we do yeah we do they don't and they ain't nothing like what they get to see
We do.
They don't.
And they ain't nothing like what they get to see.
But that's the thing.
How they identify.
We get to see sides of guys that walk around and we go out and we see them.
That's different.
Right.
Think about this.
Magic Johnson.
What you see is what you get.
Right.
Kobe Bryant.
What you see is what you get.
That ain't no act.
Michael Jordan. You already know. What you see is what you get that ain't no act michael jordan you already know what you see is what you get they haven't won an nba championship i'm just talking about people
that are so so charismatic so exciting to watch yes i could possibly be the face of the nba no
championship i'm speaking on jaw i'm speaking on on Ant-Man. They have this certain it factor that you can't coach, you can't teach,
as opposed to making someone the face of the NBA that doesn't have that cachet,
that doesn't have that oomph to be that and forcing on us because they won an NBA title.
It just doesn't fit because I don't know how to explain it the right way or find the words
the the conjure up i know the chat know what i'm talking about i just i just can't can't
piece it together like i want to no no ultra i don't want you to think right that a championship
is the only thing but i'm saying if you listen to jordan talk if you listen to kobe talk you listen to the other
greats talk yeah there's like you do you build a brand right when first brand will come right now
it everybody ain't gonna be like magic you ain't coming in win an ncaa title be most outstanding
player and then come straight into the NBA, win another title.
Berg won in his second year. Most guys have to wait three, four,
five years in order to win
a title. These guys
got right at it right away.
But they went to a really good team.
Kareem was on that
team. Kareem was the
MVP, Magic's rookie year.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the mvp of the league
so what's the likelihood of a guy the number one overall pick going to a team and that year
that guy's going to be the mvp the best player right i got a question for you matter of fact
yes speaking of now you know i don't watch much basketball but i've gotten much better with my
knowledge of the game because i've been paying attention throughout the entirety of the season.
Remember when Zion
Williamson came in the league? Yes.
And they were making him the one up
next to be the face of the league? Yeah, he could be the
next guy. Yes.
You know what I mean? Yes. Now, Zion
has that it factor.
He has that personality
in a sense. He has a certain aura
and all that. He has the crib, but yeah, he the foot, yeah. He has all personality in a sense. He has a certain aura and all that. He has all the intangibles
it takes
if he was able to stay healthy.
He could have been that guy.
But...
Let me ask you.
Let's just say for the sake of argument.
Yes, sir.
Go ahead.
I'm going to say this.
You're right.
If Zion stays healthy
and he wins,
what's the likelihood... And he doesn't win a championship,
what's the likelihood of him being the face of the
NBA if he doesn't win a championship?
It wouldn't be good.
But you know what?
Because he's so exciting to
watch, because he's so
exciting to watch, that's must-see TV.
Yeah. Think about
this. Let's say you take Jason Tatum, right?
Yes. You take
Jason Tatum and his game and his style of play
and you ask people
would a healthy Ja Morant,
a healthy Anthony Edwards,
or a healthy Zion Williamson, and you ask them who
they want to watch first or who they'd rather
watch out of the four.
The other three guys, they do a lot of playing
above the rim. That's not what Jason Tatum does.
Thank you.
Right.
He doesn't shoot the three.
He doesn't shoot the three ball
like Steph.
Because Steph was not
above the rim player,
but Steph was boxed
because he could shoot the three.
Okay.
Steph was shooting three
before.
When did he come to face face when was he one of the
face of the NBA
when they did what Ocho
what did they do
championship
championship
oh okay
championship
I mean
do you think he was really
the face of the NBA
or LeBron has always been
the face of the NBA
no no
I'm saying
he was shooting threes
I'm saying he was shooting threes
he came to the league
in 2008, 2009.
Right.
Letting it rip.
Letting it rip.
Yeah.
Now, you know what?
Speaking of face, let's talk about the influence that he's had on the game.
Outside of the NBA.
Oh, yeah.
With the little kids.
Everybody's hooking up threes.
They're not even playing basketball no more.
They're not even playing fundamental basketball no more
because of the influence that Steph Curry has
shooting the three, 30 feet, 20 feet.
The goddamn logo.
They can't shoot the ball with two hands, Ocho.
They throwing it.
But it's a three, Ocho.
They so little.
Look, kids. They can't shoot it with two hands. They throwing it. But it's a three-o-two. Look, kids!
They can't shoot it with two hands.
They throwing it with one hand. But that's what
Steph has done.
Taking nothing away from Jason Taylor.
Oh, I love it. But listen, phenomenal player.
Phenomenal player.
All NBA. Now
NBA champion. He has the monkey
off his back. But I mean,
just what I think, and I could be wrong. I'm not sure if the chat agrees with me or not. He has the monkey off his back. But I mean, just what I think, and
I could be wrong. I'm not sure if the chat is using
me or not. He doesn't have the
personality. Let's start there.
You know, when that mic is in front of him,
imagine this. Give Jason
Tatum Anthony Edwards
personality. Oh my God. Charisma, yeah.
Give him Anthony Edwards charisma.
It's over.
It's over. It's over it's over
it's over
he doesn't have that
that something's missing
you know my grandma used to say that
baby I don't know what's wrong with her but
it's just something's missing
still great at what he does
yes and
it's hard
I think it's hard to be the face
when you're not
he's not thought of as the best player
because he didn't win the finals MVP
he didn't win
I mean he's won the Eastern Conference
most valuable player before
but in the title run JB won it
so how do you say
somebody is the face and that's what
Kobe was up against.
Kobe was up against Shaq.
He had Shaq on his team.
Kobe was sensational.
Kobe was averaging down to 30 wins, Shaq.
Wait, whoa.
I'm glad you just said that.
Hold on.
You just said JB name.
Shaq.
Now I've watched enough basketball,
I could be wrong.
Is Jason Tatum even the best Celtic
on his team? Or is it Jalen Brown?
You know what? Come on now.
Chad, I'm asking you. Now help me.
Help me get my knowledge up.
So I don't sound like no fool. But I know what I watched
in the playoffs. I could be wrong.
I think
honestly, Ocho,
for the longest time, I was under the impression that Jalen Brown was the more athletic, JT was the better player.
Now, some will say JB is getting the benefit of not getting the double teams thrown at him.
And he's working a lot of one-on-ones right where jt is having to go through the double
team and getting the nation getting everybody's best defender but it's gonna be hard for me to
disagree with your what you're thinking okay okay what you've watched and you watch these two grow
yeah and guys look you do look like we're like when we have a conversation it's not to try to
break them up and you can't break them up we just because they just like we're like when we have a conversation it's not to try to break them up
and you can't break them up because they just yeah we're just having a discussion that's all
yeah i mean we we i mean i'm trying to think who had i'm trying to think ocho who had like two like
box office receivers on the set it's like when you had Torrey Holt and Isaac Bruce. Ooh. And Isaac Keenan.
Or you had Jimmy and Keenan.
Yeah.
I mean, Jimmy was the guy.
And we know what Reverend Ike did.
Yeah.
But Torrey Holt was making a big game Torrey Holt with $1,500 every year.
Yeah.
But you see the work
and I'm not saying
when you give
somebody what credit, you're like, oh, so you
said, no, I'm just saying
this. I can see
the work that JB
has put in
to get to where he's at.
At first, he was just
athletic. Making a lot of plays on athletics.
You know, some stuff, what I kept hearing, watching Twitter, trying to get knowledge of the game up, he ain't even got no damn left hand.
Yeah.
What you mean he can't go left?
So I'm watching games to see if he can go left.
Right.
But hell, he was going left.
And when he went right, they still couldn't stop it.
So, I mean mean I don't know
man they're looking
if the guy ain't got Steph Curry or Kyrie
handles he ain't got no handles damn
who got handles like that
it don't seem like everybody got Kyrie
handles they don't or Rob Strickland
or Jason Williams
Isaiah
everybody don't have handles like
so in other words you wanted God to give LeBron James his height, his size, his durability.
Right. Shoot the ball like Steph and handles like Kyrie. How fair is that?
So just imagine if God would have gave Patrick Mahomes the ability to run the ball like Lamar Jackson or like Michael.
How is that fair, Ocho? Ain't fair at all. Or Michael Good. How is that fair?
At all. He gave Tom
Brady the ability to run the ball like Cam
Newton. His ability to throw just like
he is. He's still Brady throwing the ball,
but he can run the ball like Cam.
It wouldn't be fair.
No!
No!
Just like you give Tyreek
I mean just imagine if man Randy
yeah well Randy and Tyreek
is the same speed but give Randy Moss
the right now
like think about Tyreek
is fast right now imagine
if Randy didn't have to pick up speed
where he got,
when he,
he don't,
yeah,
the long stride was gone and he hit top speed right away.
Yeah.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah.
When,
when,
you know,
when,
when,
when the,
uh,
when Randy went with CC,
with Chris and Minnesota.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then read in the slot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No,
Chris, Chris went to the slot. Right. Jake went outside. I know the slot. Jake Reed, yeah. Jake, yeah. No, Chris went to the slot.
Right.
Jake went outside the numbers.
Chris worked the slot, yeah.
But it's great.
Look, at the end of the day, as long as they come back,
when we come back with two gold medals in basketball.
We good.
I'm good.
And we're going to come back with the gold medals in the 100-meter men and women.
I'm talking to you, Jamaica.

Let me write this down again, man.
Ocho, the range would be crazy.
Yeah, what?
I mean, I could be Usain Bolt and Hockam El Garouche.
I can win the 100 meters and the 1,500 meters.
You know what I'm saying?
I go back and quit.
No, I'm with you when you're right.

that's gonna, you know, make them lose
focus, or whatever the case may be. You can't play.
You know better than that. The cardinal
rule number one, when you're in school,
you don't have sex before
a game. You don't have sex
because it gives you spaghetti legs. You want to be
as strong and stout as possible.
It gave me spaghetti something else, but legs wasn't it.
I wasn't running
on that leg.
I don't know what you're talking about,
Ocho. But man, I had some of my best games. Nah, boy, I ain't play what you're talking about, Ocho. But man, that hands over my best game.
Nah, boy, I ain't play that, boy.
I ain't play that.
You didn't?
No, no, no, no.
Saturday, we in the hotel anyway.
But even if we had a home game,
and depending who I was dating at the time,
if they were in town,
listen, this week, nothing.
I'm going to catch you Monday, Tuesday.
And once Wednesday hit,
you know, Wednesday, that's,
oh, no, I'm done with you.
I'm going to catch you on Monday, too.
You catch me after the game,
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
No, I can't do nothing after the game
because I'm going to cramp up.
I ain't going to be no good to you.
Oh, nah.
I'm going to lock up, man.
I can't do nothing after the game.
I know what you're talking about.
I remember the days.
Man, I couldn't do nothing after the game.
I ain't never do nothing after the game. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. That's it. The rest of the week, I'm what you're talking about. Man, I couldn't do nothing after the game. I ain't never do nothing after the game. Sunday,
Monday, and Tuesday. That's it. The rest of the
week, I'm off. I'm off. Don't even
ask. Don't even
try. Ain't no point in even coming to town.
Nothing. Nathaniel.
Come on in town.
Well, you better than me. I ain't play
that game. I ain't played that during the week
i might not have had no discipline when it came to eden i might have been eating mcdonald's and
i might have had the worst diet in the world but when it came to that discipline all the feel
and just no locking into being focused is as far as on my craft and stuff man

I know I saw it in the movie I know I saw it in the movie
I was at
wait 96
yeah I was a sophomore
I was at Santa Monica
guess who theater I went to go see it
I remember now
Magic Johnson Theater
Magic Johnson Theater
cause at that time I was dating this chick named Roxy
she might even see named Roxy.
Yeah.
She might even see this.
Roxy, she stayed in the jungles.
She stayed in the jungles in the third building
because my mama was in L.A.
at the time.
This was when I was
at Santa Monica College.
Right.
My mama was in L.A.
at the time.
I saw Saving Private Ryan
at Magic...
It had to be Magic Johnson.
It had to be
because I really couldn't
go anywhere else.
I had to stay within the area.
Yeah, see?
See, you went and saw Private Ryan.
Yeah.
I told my girl,
she saw Lieutenant Big Nuts.
And you remember who you was dating
way back then?
Yeah.
For real?
Yeah.
How do you remember way back in 1998?
No, I was about...
No, no, no, no, no, no, Ocho.
At that point in time,
we had broken up.
So I was single then.
Okay, okay, okay. I was single. Yeah, no. You still Ocho. At that point in time, we had broken up. So I was single then. Okay, okay, okay.
You still remember your partners
from that long ago? Oh, man, I can
tell you every girl by
name. What?
Every girl that I've ever dated.
That's impossible.
Ocho.
What, you wrote everything down? Ocho.
I guarantee you
I can tell you every girl I've had sex with, damn near by name.
You dead ass?
That's impossible, Unc.
Oh, hell no.
You bullshit.
Man, boy, you driving.
Ocho.
You driving.
Ocho, let me tell you.
You bullshit.
Come on, man.
Unc, that's impossible.
Ocho, I don't forget a name, a face, or an incident.
Unc, I can't even fathom.
Like, that's, that's, do you know how crazy that sounds?
From Savannah State, no, forget that.
From high school, Savannah State.
Oh, Glimmer, I can tell you every girl
I can tell you name I can damn near
tell you the day of the week that we had sex
how do you remember that
that's like
okay
okay
I only had
sex on days the end of Y
all of the...
Come on, man. Listen.
I ain't never heard
nobody say that.
I mean, there's some I wish I could forget.
They were good and terrible.
I understand that.
But the fact that you could even recall from that long ago, that is commendable.
Because I can't remember nothing from high school.
I can't remember nothing from Santa Monica College.
Oh, yeah. Oh can't remember nothing. Really? I can't remember nothing from Santa Monica College. Oh, yeah.
Oh, please.
Now, boy.
God.
Hey, hey.
Somebody tried to spit the block.
For real?
Nah, hell no.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
I never know high school or college, man.
Hell no.
You just never know?
You never wanted to rekindle a flame?
Never mind, never mind.
I don't want to get you in no trouble.
But okay.
Mm-mm.
Damn, that's crazy. No.
You got a great, you got
good memory, boy. Oh, yeah. For sure.
Good memory.
Damn.
I mean, I've had women
come up to me and talk about, oh, you remember me?
Where I remember you from?
Oh, I swear. And people think I'm
lying. But they come and say, oh, you know,
we had sex. I said, nah, baby.
We ain't have no sex.
Because I can tell you.
We ain't have sex, dude.
She break it down, no?
No.
Oh, they be lying.
They be lying.
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
I mean, I'm sure had I not been who I had, I not become who I became.
Right, right.
They would have never came up to me and said that.
Anything, right.
But because, and I guess they done told their girlfriends or they told somebody.
Yeah.
Even though some of them, oh, yeah, your boy.
And look here.
When I say I was hell.
When I was well.
When I was well.
Right.
Vegas.
When they say, hey, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Yeah.
Boy.
Ocho.
Yeah, see, I don't, I didn't, maybe I missed out. You missed out. That's what Ocho, that's why I'm saying I don't I didn't mean I maybe I missed out.
You missed out. That's why I don't need to go nowhere.
That's right. But I'm saying during even in my day, in my in my prime, my prime years in Cincinnati, my prime years in the offseason, I don't go nowhere.
And I think I don't think I missed out on anything. Just like the Vegas, the trips, you know, the D.R. trips.
I love hearing the stories with the fellas.
I ain't never been to DR. I need to go.
I ain't do none of that.
I ain't do none of that. Dude, even doing
my prime. Video games,
cigar bar, jazz
club. That's it.
And whoever I was dating, like anything
outside of that, every blue moon
because of my friends I was with
and I wanted them to be able to have a good time enjoy themselves experience things they would never experience if they weren't
friends of mine every blue moon oh i don't know what it's like i don't know what it's like to go
to vegas with the fellas and have a good time you know i do just see i feel like i missed out on
something maybe i didn't but i enjoy hearing the stories. I love it. Here in Miami,

Okay, I missed the story.
Sorry.
Katie Ledecky is weighing in on pool cardinal rule.
Olympic swimmer sat down with comedian Leslie Jones for a chat about at the 2024 Summer Olympic, where she was asked point blank if she ever peed in the pool.
Katie is insistent that she never does.
Hold up.
Katie is insistent that she never does.
Hold up.
It's insistent that she does not pee when in the water, no matter what.
But she better than me because I sold peed in the pool when I was when I was growing up.
Yeah, that way you can't go to the public pools, man.
Yeah, I ain't just like, hey, there's a reason they put chlorine in there.
Not enough. Not enough. Nah. there's a reason they put chlorine in there not enough nah
listen
I ain't been to the public pool in so long
I'm glad I got my own pool here
I don't even get in that
man but you know the people pee in the pool
they don't drop logs in the pool
they be floating like little submarines
come on man
but what pool they do that in
people do do in the pool
maybe the babies chat y'all better tell him home, man. But what pool? What pool they do that in? People do it in the pool. Nah, nobody do it in the pool.
Maybe the babies. Hey, chat.
Y'all better chat. Y'all better tell it.
I ain't never heard of that now.
Yeah. In the pool?
Yes. Nah, maybe.
I'm talking about little kids.
Yeah, but I'm saying kids. Oh, okay, okay, okay.
But you know what, kid? That kid probably like
somewhere between 10 and 15 did some mess
like that.
You know grown folks
don't like to get out of no pool.
I'm thinking about,
you getting out,
you in the pool,
you think I'm finna get out
and go all the way to the bathroom
and I'm already in the pool?
Nah.
Yeah, you got to do that, Ocho.
Don't be nasty.
Nah, but I ain't been in the pool
in the mountain spot
when I was a jet,
when I was a shorty.
I ain't even saying a lie.
You know?
Yeah, oh, yeah. I ain't been to it. Man, I ain't been to it. Man, I ain't saying lie. No. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I ain't been to it.
Man, I ain't been to it.
Man, I ain't been in a pool.
Ooh, Lord.
I'm trying to think when the last time I've been in a pool.
I can tell you the last time I've been in a pool.
Olympic-sized pool at Charles Hadley Park.
And that's been years.
Years.

yeah but no going nobody no peeing in the pool
nah okay again uconn star page beckers have signed a first of a kind nil deal with the new
unrival Basketball League.
Her deal makes her the first college athlete with ownership, equity, and a professional league.
She will also play in the Unrival League as well as the WNBA after her college career ends.
Unrival is a three-on-three women's basketball league that will begin play in January of 2025
and was founded by WNBA stars Breonna Stewart and Nafisha Collier.
It will feature 30 players on six teams in a three-on-three compressed full court.
Wow, style of play.
The league wants to give players a domestic alternative to play in the WNBA offseason.
What do you think, Ochoa?
Yeah, I like that.
I like that. Giving the ladies the outlet so they don't have to travel all the WNBA offseason. What do you think, Ocho? Yeah, I like that. I like that.
Giving the ladies the outlet
so they don't have to travel
all the way overseas
to be able to recoup
some of the income
that they're missing out on
and give them the chance
to do that
and stay home is perfect.
I think it's a great idea.
I think it's a great idea
for them having to travel
all the way across the water.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you know,
you stay here
and you can enjoy this league.
I think she signed
an Ocho.
Didn't she sign a Nike deal?
