Kaitlyn Clark passes Pistol Pete Maravich for D1 scoring, men or women. On Sunday, in her last regular season home game, she passed the LSU and NBA legend for the most points
Starting point is 00:03:00 scored by a Division I basketball player, men or women. She beat Ohio State. She scored 35 points, nine assists, had six rebounds for the number six Iowa Hawkeyes as they won 93-83
Starting point is 00:03:12 over the number two Buckeyes. It put Clark at 3,685 career points. I think they're the A-I-A-W, someone that has like 200 points. There's an A-I-A-W, someone that has like 200 points. There's an outside chance she could get that, Gil, if she like the tournament, Big Ten tournament, and they go far because she's averaging 30. So there's a good chance that she could play 10 games and she's 200 points or less. 200 points or less,
Starting point is 00:03:46 there's an outside chance she can... Could she possibly get... Can she get 315 to make it an even four? Which I don't think anybody's going to... I don't think any woman or man will break that record if she gets to 4,000 points.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Hell, this is going to be hard. I mean, whatever she ends with, it's going to be extremely, extremely hard. I'm not even going to lie to you, huh? Soon as you said women's basketball, I went to sleep a little bit, just like the rest of the chat.
Starting point is 00:04:18 We went to sleep on this, huh? I'm sorry, huh? Okay? Man, Kayla Clark let that thing go, and she's averaging 33 gills. I know but god dang we can't relate right I know she beat she beat Pistol Pete but Pistol Pete only played three years so you know and they didn't have the three-point shot because he was cooking like we're not going to take anything from her what she she's doing, she's changed women's basketball. She's brought some hype into this sport. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Ticket sales went up. Popularity went up. Man, she got Travis Scott at the game. Look at the guys she got coming. Look at the people she has coming to go in the hour. No, no, no. Hey, listen, listen. To be a
Starting point is 00:05:03 college basketball fan this year, last year has been amazing. I personally don't like the WNBA having Indiana as the number two or the number one pick. No one pick. Oh, you want it on a big market. I need the best player in the country,
Starting point is 00:05:27 the most popular player in the country, the most recognizable face in the country right now. I need her in a big market. I need her in Los Angeles. Los Angeles got three picks, right? In the first seven. Trade them all for Caitlyn Clark. Why not?
Starting point is 00:05:49 If I'm in, he ain't going to do it. They have to. They have to. Ticket sales, jersey sales, right? Marketing deals, lip gloss lines. It's here. Think about the Sparks games. You're going to have the Jenners there.
Starting point is 00:06:06 You're going to have all those celebrities coming to watch that woman play. Yeah, I'm going to go see them play. Coming to the goddamn FIBA game. Hey, but here's the thing, though. Say what you want about the game. She more popular than any man playing college basketball right now. Oh, no, that's facts. I can't tell you.
Starting point is 00:06:25 And the only reason I know this guy is because he tripped, the guy from Duke, Filipowski. They call him Flip. Other than that, I couldn't tell you anybody playing. And I know UConn in Kentucky is Kentucky and North Carolina. Baycott is still there, but he's been there for like 15 years. But for the most part, she's more popular, 3X, than any men's college basketball player.
Starting point is 00:06:50 When it comes to the popularity and the game, the popularity matches the game, she's by far ahead of everyone. Next up is what, Bronny James? Yeah. Right? Yeah. Her and Juju.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Juju Watkins, the young lady at USC. Those two got more popularity. Angel Reese. And you know what's so funny? If Kaitlyn Clark wasn't doing what she was doing this last year, Juju would be the biggest thing in women's basketball right now. Because she's only a freshman, they're like, we're going to give her her love, but we're not going to give her the keys right now. We'll give it to her next year.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Right now, we're just going to let Caitlyn finish her career off being who she is. And, you know, just from a marketing side, her, Angel Reese, we have to be in big markets. This is not about the game. WNBA, this is not about the game. This is about entertainment in the business. You're trying to grow your game. Having the most popular players sitting in Indiana, that's not a good look for the development of the game.
Starting point is 00:08:00 You want the Jenners coming to the game. You want other NBA players coming to the game you want other nba players coming to the game you want mayweather driving to the game because she done yeah popped off 50 hit a quarter that's what you want you want those headlines and sports in it you're never going to get that in indiana right i mean you know you might have bird you might have you know, you might have Bird, you might have, you know, Larry Legend, old ass, come out there and, you know, pop his head through the window or something. You ain't gonna get no sports center stuff, man. But if you look at the three most popular players in the women's game, you look at Kaitlyn Clark, Juju Watkins, and Angel Reese, you tell me the men that's playing college basketball that's on their level. Oh, no, no, no. As far as popularity, as far as notoriety, NIL, whatever the case may be.
Starting point is 00:08:49 No. The women college sport right now is overtaking college hoop. They are dominating because they are playing excellent basketball right now. We got these ladies. The young lady at Stanford, Cameron Brink. You got the one at USC with Don Staley.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Don Staley. Paige Becker. The women's game might be even more popular because they talk about it because of those. It's not so much like we know the programs. We know the Dukes because they talk about it. I mean, because of those, because it like, and it's not so much like the,
Starting point is 00:09:25 like, you know, we know the programs, we know the Dukes and the Carolinas, the Kentucky, the Kansas, but they're not, what they're not is like, the Kansas,
Starting point is 00:09:35 well, Kansas lost three or four and Kentucky has lost probably like six or seven games. But when you look at the women and it's like the individuals, now UConn isn't what they, UConn – I remember UConn won 111 games straight. Yeah. And they normally win every year.
Starting point is 00:09:49 They're not that. Yeah, yeah. But the women, those five, Buckers and Brink and Juju and Kaitlyn Clark and Angel Reese and Cardosa. You know, to be honest, man, I think I look from, like, the marketing side of the game, and right now, this is the hottest time
Starting point is 00:10:15 for women's basketball. If I'm the dub, I will make an exception right now and say, all right, enter. We're taking out the age limit and the grade image, which means Juju will jump into the draft. Juju.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Hell, no. If I'm Juju, I ain't jumping nowhere. I ain't giving him my NIL money for no $76,000. You got your damn mind, Gil. Listen, NIL deal, the NIL deal, it can travel with you to the pros too. But the thing about the NIL deal is if she jumps from USC and then
Starting point is 00:10:54 with the number two pick, she's with the Sparks, what do you think about that marketing bag now? Because she's going to only be 18 years old. Now, that means she still has all the youth to her disposal with selling jerseys, with, you know, shoes. If, you know, Nike gives her a shoe or Jordan Brand gives her a shoe, whatever she wants to sell, her age is the demanding of that product. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Right. You know, Caitlyn, she's 22. Juju's 18. Right. Right. Right? So when Juju comes, that means sophomores and freshmen in high school, sophomores, juniors, seniors
Starting point is 00:11:32 will buy her product. Freshman class of college, sophomore, junior, they're going to buy her product. So she's got the eight-year gap of product being sold. So you want them to be, because can women, young ladies, can they go into the draft like the guys can? No.
Starting point is 00:11:48 How long they got to be in college? Four years or by the age of 22. Man. So they lose the youth. They come out as women, right? So the people that looked up to them, they became the ops anyway. people that that looked up to them they became the ops anyway so like my daughter right that's her teammate they're gonna be um they're gonna be going against each other um my mood so juju cake so juju can't come out even if you wanted to she has to wait till she's a senior the only
Starting point is 00:12:18 the only girls that allowed to come the only women are at this point it would be considered girls still the only girls that are allowed to come into the NBA is overseas. Euro. Well, it's not technically Euro. As long as you're born born, born born. So all Americans, go over there, have your child, then come back.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Well, Juju, stack your paper with this NIL. So that way, when you come out and you get 85,000, you're like, man, I done made me 10 M's in college, so I'm straight. If that's the case, then WNB is going to be ruined because that means you're going off of the notion of, well, they can't stay in college forever. you're going off of the notion of, well, they can't stay in college forever.
Starting point is 00:13:11 If that's going to be your play, that they got to come here at some point, then you're losing. They do. You're losing. And unfortunately, that's it. James Harden, only if he would shave his beard to win a championship, that is gone. Harden is prepared to let go of his signature facial hair if that's what it takes to win a title. Gil, what would you give up?
Starting point is 00:13:33 OK, Gil, I tell you what, you got a little goatee. Nah, I know you get it up. Would you give up sex for a year to win an NBA title? Hell yeah. A year? A year? Well, I got it. I have a hand on it. I have a hand on it. My hand's in my pocket. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Yo, yo. Hey, listen. I've had an argument with men. I had an argument with women. Never had one with my hand on. Never. That's alright. Never. There ain't no sex like that argument sex to make up. Never. That's all right. Never. That ain't no sex like that argument sex you can make up.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Man, I'm the bad kind. Man, I start an argument on purpose. You make me sick. What? Come home late. I come home late. I be in the park. Where you been? I'm sitting out in the driveway because I'm just going to start an argument. I was supposed to be home 15 minutes ago.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I'm just sitting in the driveway. Yeah, that's cute. That's what I'm saying. Ain't nothing like that. Ain't nothing like that makeup on. Uh-uh, Gil. Ain't nothing like makeup. Yeah, in your 20s.
Starting point is 00:14:35 That's fun and dandy until your windows start getting busted. Oh, that's even better. That's even better. Hey, I'm looking. I'm looking at the car. I'm looking at the car while she's doing it. She's doing a number on that car. I know in 20 minutes later
Starting point is 00:14:52 it's going to be on the cracker. I'll give up sex for a year for a championship ring. I don't know about that, G. I won't give up no money for you. You on your own on that deal. I'll give up sex before I give up a billion dollars. If they say give, I ain't gonna do nothing.
Starting point is 00:15:09 You got a hundred million. Take off one million for a ring. Depending on where I am in my career, I'm like, I don't know about all that, man. I'll give up a million dollars before I give up sex. You got your damn mind. Crazy as hell, huh? You crazy. Hold on. How much did you say I got?
Starting point is 00:15:26 Huh? How much you say I got? $100 million? $99. I got $90. And you out your damn mind. What can I do with $90 that I can do with $100? I don't know. There's some things you can do with
Starting point is 00:15:42 $100 that you can't do with $99. Because once you stop at $90, there's 10 more you can do with a hundred that you can't do with 99 because once you stop at 90 there's 10 more extra you would have had to buy something and you just spent it on women. I'm good. Nah, you're not finna have my scrotum sagging like syrup bottles.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Oh no. I got the free willy. Free willy. Willy jumped out that water. I say, hey, you must say, hey, listen, when you have a baby mama like me, trust me, sex is the last thing you want to think about. I haven't let you convince me about that one yet. You want to think about it?
Starting point is 00:16:17 Trust me, I'd rather win a championship. Hey, listen, I was in child support court 55 times. 55. I mean, I'm 55. I'm the Mayweather. I'm 55 and 0.
Starting point is 00:16:32 But the fact that I'm good. Hey, I commend, I commend guys that's never had to go through that. I think, I think, you know, early on we went through it because we were young,
Starting point is 00:16:44 you know, and on we went through it because we were young, you know. And I remember, like, when I was going through therapy and, you know, we going back and forth. And I remember the lady told me, she said, uh, Mr. Sharp, are you arguing to see who's right or are you arguing for what's right? She said, because there are two different things now. You know, I sat back.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I'm like, well, damn. I'm saying to myself, I want to be right. Damn, what's right? I want to be right. And so she said, well, Mr. Sharp. Now, if you argue for right. OK, you have valid points. But if you're arguing
Starting point is 00:17:27 just to be right, you're not going to get anywhere. And you're going to find yourself in these situations again. And so you know what? Sometimes I found out, Gail, it's better to keep the peace than to be right.
Starting point is 00:17:44 And so once I started looking at it through that prism, because, you know, hey, and then I was like, okay, kids going to be, I don't want to be, I don't want to be, here I am, you know, kids 13, 14, 15, and they see their mom and dad going back and
Starting point is 00:18:00 forth over some penny bull jive, it ain't even worth it. I give up. Yeah, not me, Unc. Nah, not me, Unc. Listen, Unc, I'm one of those, it's just something about winning, Unc.
Starting point is 00:18:18 It just makes, it just gets me horny at night, Unc. That's the, just, I want to be right, Unc. Yes, Adal. That's the, just what I want to be right up. Yes, Adal. Hey, listen. If you say, what color is the sky? I'm going to look out there first.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Then come out there and place the bet. And if I, what you say, I'm going to wait until, like, I'm like, yeah, it's black out there. It could be daytime. I guarantee you, I'm going to go out there until it goes nighttime and say, I told you so. Nah. Nah, I'm just, you know why I think the thing is, Gil, like, when you win, and I'm glad because, you know, people, you know, a lot of
Starting point is 00:18:56 times they're like, well, Shannon, which would you rather have, a Super Bowl ring or a Hall of Fame ring? I say, well, I'm glad I don't have to make that decision because I can have them both. But, for me, do you know how many men have won Super Bowls? There's 53. There's like 80 guys per team getting a Super
Starting point is 00:19:13 Bowl. So if you go back, there are like 25,000 men that got Super Bowl rings. There are less than 500 men that's in the Hall of Fame. So you put a, you know, you forced me to say it. I'm going to take the Hall of Fame. Of course.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Listen, that's a different jacket, huh? Yeah. That's a different jacket, right? You know, that's a, you know, when people talk about games, that's the type of game you want to be in. Yeah. Yeah, you want to be, that's a Hall of Fame game. Yeah. That's your sports of game you want to be in. Yeah. Yeah, you want to be in that Hall of Fame game. Yeah, that's your sports heaven.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Yeah. That's where all the great players go. Yep. To pass away. Yep. So, for me, yeah, it's a no-brainer. The Knicks all-star Jalen Brunson suffered a bruised knee versus the Cavs. Brunson was helped off the floor because of a left knee injury
Starting point is 00:20:04 in the first minute of a 107-98 win over the Caval. Brunson was helped off the floor because of a left knee injury in the first minute of a 107-98 win over the Cavaliers. Give them credit. They played extremely well. Dante DiVincenzo was outstanding. Even Josh Hart had a triple-double, had 19 rebounds. Pimido told reporters after the game, Brunson had a knee contusion and
Starting point is 00:20:19 x-rays were negative. The coach said he had no timeline for Brunson's return. When I seen that, I was trying to figure out if he bumped knees. I was looking at the same thing. I didn't see it. It looked like it could have been an ACL tear. It looked like it because it was on a plant.
Starting point is 00:20:40 So he probably just knee buckled. Probably just one of those freak little things that just caused some bruising in there. He is the heart and soul of that team, right? Yes. No matter how much we say he ain't the guy, he proves he is the guy. He's a guy. Right? He is the guy for that team. He's one of those guys that, just like a Jokic,
Starting point is 00:21:08 you can't see their talent through your scouting. They got to play. No matter what drills you put them in, they are just basketball players. Hopefully, he can get back in time where they don't lose much momentum. Because he is the heart. He's the finisher. He's the guy who keeps that thing going. get back in time where they don't lose, you know, much more momentum, you know, because he is the heart. He's the finisher. He's the guy who keeps that thing going. And now that now the ball got to go back to Randall's hand and we don't know what's about to happen. I don't know if he's going to come back. You think he'll be able to come back with that shoulder?
Starting point is 00:21:40 Who, Randall? Drew Randall. Yeah. We don't know. We don't know. But I know, hey, hey, hey, hey. I know one thing. The team is back here if you come back soon.

And I told my grandmother on her deathbed that I had it and I got to hold it down.
Starting point is 00:25:24 And so nothing is going to get me off this perch. But God is, first of all, God has already placed me up here. So they can't knock me off even if they try. So whatever God has put before me, all that other stuff that's going on is not going to impact me. So I really appreciate that. I try to be as positive as I possibly can. And Gil, this week, this weekend, Friday and Saturday, I had a couple of sign-ins. this weekend, Friday and Saturday, I had a couple of sign-ins.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Man, the love. You don't realize the impact that you have on people until you come in contact with them personally. And to hear people like, man, we loved you at the old show. We love your own first take, but hey, Club Shea Shea and

I appreciate that. And to see all, I mean, black, white, I mean, so women, I mean, it's just like, it was just

Starting point is 00:27:09 Oh, yeah. People driving two plus hours because they can't get it in their state. They're driving across state lines. One guy, you know, bought two, three cases. We were like, I'm buying this for my son, my two sons, my husband, my brother. I mean, it was just, it was unbelievable. And I'm like, man, you don't know who's listening, who's watching. But you are impacting.
Starting point is 00:27:37 And so try to make sure, I just always try to make sure I'm doing, I'm impacting people in a positive way. You know, I think because we are doing our content from behind closed doors, right? This is not like we're on the field and we can feel the love in real time, right? So when we're doing our thing, just like we're doing here, we have the chat, we can see the chat, but we don't really know the impact that we're doing here. Yeah, we have the chat. We can see the chat. But we don't really know the impact that we're doing. Be correct. Everything is in confinement. You know, same thing. I go to my son's game, my daughter's game,
Starting point is 00:28:13 and all the kids come up to me. Like, you know, they're like, can I take a picture? And I'd be forgetting. Oh, I seen you. I seen you on Shannon Sharp, man. I seen you. Oh, catch your shirt on. Like, it just it just
Starting point is 00:28:27 it makes you want to do right and watch it makes you it does it really does right it makes you want to keep going and you know like even even when you you started right and as a content creator you know someone who's in the tv realm too you. I'm watching trying to figure out my lane. And when you pulled out the Hennessy and the Black and Mild, I was like, he's pushing the limits. Right? You need someone to test the limits because Charles Barkley, you're giving everyone else a little bit more wiggle room than they had before. Right. And, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:10 us 35 to 40-year-olds that's getting into the podcast game is because of what you did on first tape. Yeah. And that's the thing. Undisputed. Undisputed.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Yeah. You broke down so many barriers that gave, like, it was strict. Like, when we came behind the camera, we was, you know, good old boys. Lord, did Unk say that? And it gave a little bit more relief, like, oh, I can do that too. And then now, you know, me, you know, getting to talk with you, you know, every week, it just opens me up a little bit more on how much effort greatness puts into it. So when I'm sitting at home, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:29:59 Shannon just said he got to fly here, fly here, right? Let me go online and see what's hot, what's content. Let me do some research. So I'm sitting here three, four hours just looking at stuff, tapes, looking at interviews, watching. I seen a Terry Crews. He threw some gems, you know what I mean? And, you know, something he said that just, it just stuck with me. Like, and he said, you know, when I first started started when i got paid zero dollars five thousand then
Starting point is 00:30:27 boom boom boom and i and i was grateful for every single one of them i didn't look back and say man they should have paid me more right i remember that jim he said you can't nod yes and mean no. And he says, because I saw the terms of the contract, I was going to get $4,000 for two days. I can't then in turn agree to the contract and then go back. The movie becomes, man, I only got $4,000. That's what you agreed to. You agreed to.
Starting point is 00:31:04 They gave you what the contract stipulated. So he said, you can't nod yes and mean no. And he's absolutely right. That was powerful. What is that? K-G-M-A 89. Gil, we need you to share
Starting point is 00:31:20 two broke stories on Nightcap. Broke? I guess he means people going broke? Shit, that ain't just name anybody who's retired. I just played. Oh, they say you was talking about being
Starting point is 00:31:37 broke earlier. Oh, yeah. No, Gil ain't broke. This is how the NBA is, right? Okay, so we got March Madness coming up, right? Right. So championship ends around March, what is it? April, the beginning of the first weekend in April. The first Monday, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:55 So I go to the championship, we lost. A week, two weeks later, we're entering the draft. Now, think about what I'm saying. We enter the draft, that means we got to get an agent. right? Since we're not in school and we have an agent, that agent is going to tell us where he thinks we're going to be, right? Projections, are you going to be in the first round? So from there, you got to open up bank accounts if you don't have any, right? You got to take out loans, right, on your projection because you don't have no money, but your parents think you got money, so they're going to want some new things.
Starting point is 00:32:28 So for the most part, if you're a first-round pick, you're going to get about that summer about $300,000, $400,000. If you're somebody like Wimby, you have no limit to your agent. He's the number one pick. He has the black card for his agent. Yeah, he probably got at least a $10 million limit. $10 million limit as a rookie. Or no, not as a rookie, just that summer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Now, think about that. I'm taking out $100,000, $200,000, $300,000 just to survive that summer, right? Eat, new car, get a rental place. Because you're paying for the rental, not your agent. It's just his money. You got to repay him back. Yeah, yeah. He's just running it.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Right. So this is April, May, June. Right. You know, the draft came at the end of June. Now you really are right now. I already spent two hundred some thousand and I think thirty one. That already spent 200 some thousand and i'm 31 that's 300 some thousand now i still got july august september october i don't get my first piece of money to november 14th so six and a half months before i left school of money I've been spending that I haven't even got a check for.
Starting point is 00:33:47 And you've been spending because you ain't never had money like that before. So you're spending. Yeah, you're spending. But I miscalculated because, you know, I thought I was going to be a top 18 pick when I end up being a second round pick. So I spent my money. So I'm begging for a two year deal and I'm on a budget. So I'm on. They had to budget me for two years
Starting point is 00:34:06 and that budget was after my bills, which was a car in my house, I had $500 that I can spend per month. You ain't getting no hoo-ha. You couldn't take nobody out? See, that's why
Starting point is 00:34:24 you always talk about the haircut. You ain't had no money. I had a girlfriend. you couldn't take nobody out? That was, see, that was your hair. That was what y'all were talking about the haircut. You ain't had no money. I had a girlfriend, Unc. Oh, okay. Well, you straight. You was straight. It wasn't mine.
Starting point is 00:34:32 It was ours. Right? Oh, Lord have mercy. It was ours. When you making $500 a week, it's ours, right? So whoever felt like she needed to be with at that time,
Starting point is 00:34:42 I just had to shut up. And that's what I did, Unc. You had to take it. You had to that time, I just had to shut up. And that's what I did. You had to take it. You had to take it. I just had to use that anger and that pain to work on my game. But there were some times where towards the end of the month, I didn't have enough money to drive back and forth from the practice facility back to my place. So I'll stay in the gym. I'll stay in the movie theater room.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Shit, we had food. We had the Gatorades, the waters, the showers, steam room. Shit, this is home. So you pulled an Ocho before Ocho pulled an Ocho. Oh, yeah. What year you came out? What year you came out, G? The one.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I think that's the same year Ocho came out. Listen, I had out, Gil. The one. I think that's the same. Your Ocho came out. Listen, I was having, listen, I had girls pull up. When you ain't take, you bring girls to the facility. Nice. They're like,
Starting point is 00:35:32 movie theater, movie theater. I'm telling my, I mean, and they probably know no better than this. Like, oh my God, Gil, I love what you done
Starting point is 00:35:42 with the place. Hey, yes, you know. Like, I ain't, y'all done with the place it is Antoine Jamison right here you know Antoine right is it I'm over here listen and that's that was that was that thing so for two years I was really sacrificing but to be honest man I'm glad that happened to me yeah well I didn't spend no money I just didn't have no money to spend, Gil. My rookie contract was $63,000. $63,500.
Starting point is 00:36:11 And they gave me $22,500 as a signing bonus. So I made about $85,000. I sent my signing bonus to my brother. Because I didn't have no bank account. So he did everything. He had to sign. He had to sign to get my apartment. I couldn't get an apartment.
Starting point is 00:36:26 My credit was, man, they needed a crane to pull my credit up. That's how low it was. Hey, so everything, he had to co-sign to get my car.
Starting point is 00:36:35 He had to co-sign to get my apartment. That's like, I'm in the NFL and I got a co-sign. Yeah. But it is what it is. It is what it is.
Starting point is 00:36:42 But, hey, and they just like, hey, and I remember he's like, it is. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 00:36:45 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 00:36:45 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 00:36:45 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 00:36:48 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 00:36:50 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 00:36:51 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
Starting point is 00:36:51 but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, man Gil you couldn't hit me in the ass with a red apple you know your boy was doing it I popped that top I pulled right up to the club and let that top come back it's your boy you know what I'm saying Gil I step up on that band you know what I'm saying hold on
Starting point is 00:37:17 you said 65 I mean 63.5 you couldn't even afford today's woman cause they want no no no. No, no, no. Dude, right now, huh? 65, they would have looked at you.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Yeah. Hey, no, hell no. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, I ain't. But see, back then, but see, here's the thing, though, Gil. Even though they didn't know how, see, the salaries wasn't posted
Starting point is 00:37:41 like they are now. Okay. So I'm in the NFL. Yeah. That now. Okay. So I'm in the NFL. Yeah. That's all they know. I'm in the NFL. So he got to be making some money. Oh, you're right.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Baby, I ain't. You're right. You come out better dealing with a banker than dealing with your boy. The only thing I do, I play on Sunday. He work five days a week, but so do I. I get Tuesdays off. Other than that, he might got me. He might got me.
Starting point is 00:38:02 So if I was you, I wouldn't fool with me because I ain't got it like that. Because I got to send a third of my money back to Glenville. I got a granddad's sister. So, baby, I ain't got much. I ain't got much because that's what I told him on the first date. When you came out there talking about you going, what go with lobster? Condoms. We going to have to set it off up in here if you get that.
Starting point is 00:38:27 I ain't got no money like that. So I get it, Gil. Hey, money be tough. Hey, like I said, you weren't the first rounder. I wasn't the first rounder. I ain't have bread like that. It is what it is. Hey, I don't know if I could have made it, Gil.
Starting point is 00:38:42 I don't know who I could have got this. I'd have had to probably get a teammate to sign for me. I probably would have asked Dennis Smith. He probably would have been my first choice. And then I'd have asked Steve Atwater. Okay. If I didn't have a brother. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:56 If I didn't have a brother in the league, I'd have asked one of those guys. Miles Conner said, big fan of the pod, fellas. Celebrated my son's fifth month on Earth today. What's your guy's favorite shoe to hoop and work out in? Keep up the amazing work. Bro, I ain't hooping. Hooping shoes for me, they for walking around.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Now to work out in, I'm a Metcon guy. Because I need something with a flat, a really flat surface. Because I still squat. I do leg press. I do Bulgarian split squats. I'm a Metcon guy because I need something with a flat, with a flat, a really flat surface because I, you know, I still squat. I do leg press.
Starting point is 00:39:27 I do Bulgarian split squats. I still do stuff like that. So I need something with a flat sole. So the Metcon, that's my workout shit. Good Gil, what you hooping in? The Gil ones?
Starting point is 00:39:39 You know it. You know it all. But not the ones that just came out. My original ones that was made for my feet. Okay. The new ones. You know it, but not the ones that just came out. My original ones that was made for my feet. Right. The new one, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:49 technology is improved. You know that, right? You know, technology is improved, right? No, no,
Starting point is 00:39:54 no, no, no, not in a good way. Cause they done put some, some boost on it. That boost got the extra and it's a little bit heavier
Starting point is 00:40:01 than it was before. But I love running shoes. I love light. I love light. So if I'm not, before, but I love running shoes. I love light. I love light. So if I'm not in running shoes, I'm in sandals. So I'll go to the gym in some sandals on. Man, your feet gonna be so flat, man.
Starting point is 00:40:17 I'm in there some, hey, I'm the only one in there with some sandals on. And then when I'm doing like stuff that's not like like elliptical or something, I'll take my shoes off and just be in my socks in there.
Starting point is 00:40:34 My feet need to breathe. Okay. Keith asks, Jerry Jones says he doesn't think the franchise has a culture issue or a sense of entitlement issue. Gil, do the Cowboys have a winning
Starting point is 00:40:48 culture? How the hell am I supposed to know? Hey, listen, I know all black people look alike. I'm not Ocho, okay? I am not Ocho. I don't know what Cowboys is over there doing.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Okay? I'm just deciding to be a Rams fan. So ask me in about seven, eight months what the Rams is doing. Okay? I don't know what Jerry Jones over there doing. Yeah, I do think they have an issue. There are some things that were said. I think Jerry needs to, I mean, look, no one wants to,
Starting point is 00:41:26 if somebody came in from the outside, came to you in our house, and they said, well, Shannon, this is what's going on in your house, and this is where I see the problem. Or someone came to your house from the outside and said, okay, Gil, this is where I see the problem. We're going to feel pushback.
Starting point is 00:41:42 What you mean? I'm on a tight ship here. Everything is impeccable. Everything's put back in place. The kids are respectful, blah, blah. But no, that's not what I mean. So I'm not surprised Jerry said this because what's he supposed to say? You're right, because then that makes him look
Starting point is 00:41:57 bad. So Jerry didn't say anything that I didn't expect him to say or any. I mean, that's didn't expect him to say or any. I mean, that's just like when somebody tell your child bad. My child ain't bad. Them teachers don't know how to talk to my kid. Your kid bad as hell.
Starting point is 00:42:23 But is it one of those things where he doesn't want to seem like he's doing a bad job as an owner so he doesn't want to fix anything? Like, what does he need to improve on? Because, I mean, it is the Cowboys. Get out of the way. But see, that's the thing, though, Gil. Because what's the incentive for him to win if he has the most valuable franchise, he makes the most money, and he hadn't won a Super Bowl in 30 years?
Starting point is 00:42:42 So what's his incentive? Yeah. Pride. He's already the most Super Bowl in 30 years. So what's his incentive? Yeah. Pride. He's already the most recognizable owner in the NFL. He's the face of his team. No other owner is the face of their team. Jerry Jones is the face of his team. He wants that.
Starting point is 00:42:58 That's why he stays front and center. So, okay, so, okay, now, since we know that about Jerry Jones, how does the legacy of the players that play on that team, that means their legacy can't be complete because if the owner, was the Dax, right? Yeah. His legacy is going down because of not his performance. Because of the owner doesn't want to win. He has nothing to prove. Right. So that's how we feel in the NBA, too. There's some owners that their franchise is just worth so much that they don't have anything to prove as owners.
Starting point is 00:43:42 And there's players on there who's being judged for what they're doing. So if I'm handicapped by this guy's ego, why no one ever takes that in consideration? Well, I think the thing is that you look at some of the guys, let's just take, let's take Micah. I think Micah is going to be so great through the course of his career. You're going to have no choice but to put him in the hall. You look at what CD's been able to do, and he's gotten better and better. Because, like, you look at the guys that they drafted. Like, Larry Allen was so great. He won a Super Bowl early in his career, but he was so great. You can make a case Larry Allen is the greatest offensive lineman because he could play all the positions on the offensive line, and he was an
Starting point is 00:44:23 all-pro in those positions. You look at DeMarcus Ware, had a great career, but he won this championship in Denver. And so that's going to be very interesting. I don't think the voters, I don't think they factor that in. They just look at the play on the field. They look at, and they expect you to be able to overcome you know poor. And I don't think Jerry
Starting point is 00:44:48 is a poor owner. I just think the thing is that he gets in the way because he wants the credit and he does a lot of talking and he doesn't empower his coach. He emasculates his coach because Jerry is going to want to talk to the team. The only time I heard Mr. Modell talk is that
Starting point is 00:45:03 I think the AFC championship game, he talked, and then we won the Super Bowl. And he told us how proud he was of us. He said, I'm proud. He said, you did me proud today. He said, I'll never forget it. He said, I'll never forget this moment. I'll never forget what you guys did for me.
Starting point is 00:45:17 And it's a shame that they haven't put him in the Hall of Fame. The way they did him is wrong. He took the team and he moved, went to Baltimore. The NFL made him leave the colors and the records in Cleveland. So if they put a team back, the record, they never did that with anybody else. There's Al Davis moved up and down the coast. And here they are, took everything with them. The Rams moved, took everything with them.
Starting point is 00:45:42 The Texans, the Titans, the Oilers, they moved. They didn't make Bud Adams leave anything. They didn't make Al Davis leave anything. They didn't make Georgia Frontier. They didn't make Stan Kroenke, but they did that to him. And they wrong. They wrong for doing it. Jim Ursa left like a thief in the night.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Packed up the Mayflower moving bands. Didn't tell the NFL jack. And they took the Baltimore Colts and took the records right there with them. And the colors. But Art Modell had to come up with a new name. Had to start from scratch. They did him wrong. And now the voters
Starting point is 00:46:19 need to do him right and put him in the hall. That's facts. That's facts. Wake up with football every morning and listen to my new podcast, NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal.

Eleni Ray says,
Starting point is 00:49:01 Shannon, just for the record, I was actually busy Thursday night, not sleeping. My actual question is, who's going to be in the Final Four in March Madness Bracket? Who's going to be in my Final Four in March Madness Bracket? I tell you, not Molly. UConn. Anybody but UConn. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I'm going to have to pick it up because I know we're going to have to do a bracket. I've been so busy doing other things that I really haven't played. But you know what I do? I watch once they get to the tournament time. I'll look at the tournament, watch the tournament, make an educated guess. There's a reason why nobody's ever picked a perfect bracket and nobody's ever going to pick a perfect bracket. It ain't going to happen.
Starting point is 00:49:43 But I got Louisville for the girls and then obviously Arizona for the men. Man, y'all might not even make it out of the ACC. Andrea Jordan asks, does NBA
Starting point is 00:50:00 owners, teams, front player salary in advance like NFL. So can you go cut, can an NBA player go take out an advance on next year's salary? No, no. During the summer? Okay, so since I am, I can say I know in the NBA, I don't know if Jalen Brown has an agent, but I had the largest deal done by the player himself. I did my own contract. I read everybody else's contract and then took out things I liked from everyone's.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Kobe and Tim Duncan had something that no other player had. And Kobe got all of his money September. So he got all of his money September. So he got all of his money September. Tim Duncan got some money in August. So the season starts in November, October. Tim Duncan got some of his money in August. And then right before, then when the season started. So October 1st, training camp.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Training camp, I got 85% of my money during training camp. And then the other 15%, the rest of it. Those are the only two. I had Bobby Sura. Bobby Sura and his contract had,
Starting point is 00:51:25 he got all of his money, first check. So he was making $5 million. So he got one check for $5 million November 14th. So what happens after that is, do you get fined or anything? You have to write the team back a check. Okay. Faye said, hey, Shannon McGill,

Starting point is 00:54:57 Gil, he's 29. But no, no, no, no, no. His 29 is a little different. He ain't athletic. So he can come back. That's my point. He can play another 10 years because his game. Gil.
Starting point is 00:55:12 No. The question is, does he want to play? Does he have a burning desire? But because his game is not predicated on athleticism, he can play longer because, like Tom Brady. Now, just imagine if Tom Brady was reliant on legs or Peyton Manning was reliant
Starting point is 00:55:32 on legs. That's why they were able to play. Now, Tom played 23 years. It'd have been very interesting had Peyton Manning not suffered that nerve injury how long he could have actually played. But when you're not reliant on athleticism, that's what make LeBron.
Starting point is 00:55:49 But LeBron can think the game through. He's like, you know what? I'm just going to, you know what? I'm just going to post. I ain't going to, I ain't going to, I ain't going to, you know. And he, once he added that three ball, the man shooting 40 plus percent from the three. I know, but did you see Dirk those last five years?
Starting point is 00:56:09 Yeah, yeah. He looked like the 10-man on Wizard of Oz. He just walking down the... Yeah, but here's the thing. Just think about if he was athletic, how he would look the last 10 years, not the last five. No, no, but know what I'm saying. When you're athletic,
Starting point is 00:56:25 let's say like LeBron, we can see he's still faster, can jump higher than 80% of the NBA, which lets you know how fast and how high he was when he was younger.
Starting point is 00:56:42 Yes, absolutely. When he's slowing down, his slowdown is still better than everybody else. Well, Jokic, you're at the bottom of athleticism and the bottom of speed. When you slow down, you're walking. Yes. Those pick and rolls, like, I think— Now that you're going to be picking pops. Yeah, I think what happens is when they start like targeting him
Starting point is 00:57:06 on picking rules for real and he just can't move the way he used to move in he's going to be a real liability
Starting point is 00:57:12 defensively and I think he's just going to call it quits I think around 34 35 yeah he's going to
Starting point is 00:57:20 call it quits anyway because I don't know well he's made it clear like it's not like basketball is like the end allall, be-all. Like, he's going to die without it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:29 I mean, listen, the money they're getting now, the money they're getting now, they're making $300 million, $400 million before they're 30. Yeah, they say Luka's next contract might be $80 million a year, five years for $400 million. Luka 25. So if he get a five year for $400,
Starting point is 00:57:50 what's he going to get at $30, Gil? It's going to be about five years, $500, five years, $550. Yeah, $560. Damn. Aaron Owens asks, how dominant could Milwaukee have been if Dr. J would have played with Big O and Kareem? A great what if.
Starting point is 00:58:08 But back then, you do realize a lot of the draft, like they went to ABA, a lot of the draft was regional. So whatever area you was in, I think Kareem went to Milwaukee because they lost the coin flip. Yeah. I think they was in a coin flip with the Knicks.
Starting point is 00:58:25 One team, on the phone, one team calls head, the other team calls tails. Hey, in the office, they flip it. Oh, hey, it's okay, Milwaukee. You got good. They flip it in the office. Ah, hell, I got to fly. I'll argue.
Starting point is 00:58:37 No, we're going to flip that coin in front of me. Mm-mm. Hell, nah. Imagine how rigged all that shit was back then. Man. And so when doc came out doc came out what 71 doc first years with the virginia squires and you know he uh you know you think sometimes you check jump funny the money you know the ball wasn't the only thing that was bouncing he said my money was bouncing the checks was The checks was bouncing. So they ended up selling his right to the Nets. The Nets, it had some little financial issues. They ended up selling.
Starting point is 00:59:10 But it was different. The NBA was very different. Because back then, a team could draft a player. The player would stay in college, and they still had his rights when he came out. Yep, that's what happened to Bird. Yes. So, you know, I don't think it would have been possible. Question of the day.
Starting point is 00:59:27 What's your guys' dreams finals matchup this year? Gil? Dreams finals? I think for ultimate ratings, it would be Boston versus Lakers so they can break this tie. Yeah. I agree. I don't think that's going to happen, though.
Starting point is 00:59:44 I mean, it could. Listen, Boston got a 90% chance. Yes. Lakers, they got a 90% chance if Denver's gone. They get, they knock, if somebody knock the Nuggets out of the way. As long as Nuggets in there, we got a 10% chance. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Keith Oliver says Shannon the Freak Nick documentary is coming out later this month will you be making a cameo no

Everybody going to be watching just to look for her. They'll be looking for her. Oh no, oh no, oh no. But I had a feeling somebody would ask something about Freak Day. No, but your favorite arc was Smackdown in the Middle, 92 to 96.
Starting point is 01:02:04 I was in it. Hell, that's why I moved to Atlanta. Me and my brother came for the first time in 92. He said, bro, this ain't for me. I said, it's for me. I'm going to be back. It ain't for you. It's for me.

Hey, Gil, when I go before the man, if I, when I go before the man upstairs, he said, well, Shannon, can you tell me about Freak Nick? I said, what you remember about Freak Nick?
