3:35
Star twenty four I was doing. Man,

3:40
We just got back. I know you were out there, Indy
3:42
All Star twenty twenty four. Did
3:46
you got shooting shows? You guys out there chilling? What you guys
3:48
do out there?
3:49
Uh?
3:50
We were just out there just enjoying the environment.
3:52
Man mm hmm yellowship.
3:55
Yeah.
3:56
I enjoyed the Uh. I enjoyed the All
3:58
Star Game this year. I didn't
4:00
enjoy the dunk contest
4:03
though. And one of the reasons
4:05
why I didn't enjoy the dunt contests
4:07
because the people that he got judging the
4:09
dunk contest is too old.
4:14
What is that the.
4:17
Hey they give they was giving him
4:19
some weak ass scores. They was given away too
4:21
many points for what we were seeing out there. I
4:23
was and I ain't even know hating ship Like
4:25
the scores were unbelievable.
4:27
Bro the kid mac Klunk jumped
4:29
over a kid's head, snatched
4:32
the ball out his hand, let
4:34
the ball go, grab
4:36
the ball and get and dunped it backwards.
4:38
Then gave his kid like a forty six.
4:41
Yeah, that was crazy. Who
4:43
who was it? It was a Mitch
4:46
went right from us to out there was Mitch
4:48
Richmond. Who else is out there?
4:50
Man? It was man?
4:52
They needed they need to update the update
4:54
the uhudge.
4:56
You gotta update the judges.
4:57
Hey.
4:58
Steven Ah Smith brought up an interesting point that
5:00
I never really looked at. I mean, I
5:02
feel like the last real good one was
5:05
Air Gordon and Zach Lavine. I think in Chicago
5:08
it was, or maybe the year after that. But
5:10
Stephen A. Smith made a point, and obviously he
5:12
went all the way in he blamed Lebron
5:15
James for the dunk cost test
5:17
going the way it went. And I don't necessarily
5:19
blame him, but I understand what he was saying from a standpoint
5:22
of all the great high flyers before
5:24
him did that, you know what I mean, Doctor
5:27
J did it, MJ. Dominique Wilkins
5:29
did it, Kobe did it, Vince
5:32
T. Mac all these other guys came
5:34
and did it, and Lebron kind of, you know, said
5:36
no. And that's totally his you
5:38
know, if that's what he wants to do, that's what we want to do. But I
5:40
guarantee if Lebron went and went out there and won two or
5:42
three of them, bitches, the next round of Superstars
5:44
would have been like, Shit, I'm Shitbron did it, Kobe
5:46
did it, MJ did it, Nick did it. I'm
5:49
gonna go try and do it. So it
5:51
was an interesting point that Stephen A. Smith
5:53
brought up. And again I don't personally blame him because
5:55
I mean, he just do whatever the fuck he wants to do. But
5:57
it made sense from a standpoint of I
5:59
mean, guys are influenced, and Leron
6:01
obviously has a lot of influence on the game. So if Lebron
6:04
is out there and he won two or three battles
6:06
and he went up against someone else that was super dope
6:08
in our era. Uh, and once some dut
6:10
I think it would have continued to raise the bar with the dunk
6:12
contest. What are your thoughts on that?
6:14
I think that a lot of times they just try
6:16
to use Brian as the escape goo. You
6:19
know what I mean? Oh, it's Lebron. James
6:21
is Lebron, you know, and and and
6:23
everything is wishy.
6:24
Why she with TV? You know what I mean?
6:27
Uh, you know it's always he's the greatest
6:29
player.
6:30
But what what you mean?
6:32
But
6:35
what were you talking about? Why
6:39
is it always a butt that man chose to say?
6:41
You know what, I don't want to it's it's how
6:44
many motherfuckers in the NBA jump out
6:46
the building?
6:47
It's a shipload of them?
6:49
Why?
6:49
Why the fuck? That don't contest? Gotta be on
6:52
me?
6:52
No?
6:52
But do you see worse? Like I said, I don't blame
6:54
him for it. Like I said, Steven Aint went in and that's kind
6:57
of his equivalent what you're saying.
6:59
But ye, so that's what I'm saying. So you mentioned
7:01
Steph that's the three point contest.
7:04
He's the greatest, you know what I mean? Shoot, So
7:06
do you see where he's coming from from a standpoint of if?
7:08
Again, not blaming him, and he could do what the fuck he wants, But if
7:10
he would have did it back in his earlier days, that
7:13
the guys behind him would have continued, the
7:15
next round of young superstars would have continued
7:17
to do it.
7:18
Do you not feel that, you know, all the contests
7:20
is a personal thing? Mm
7:23
hm?
7:24
I want, man, I want to win a three point contest. I
7:26
wouldn't win a dunk contest. I feel
7:28
when Lebron came in that wasn't
7:30
a goal of his a goal
7:33
of his wasn't the win the dunk contest. You gotta
7:35
understand, too, Mike and them had
7:37
to prove themselves.
7:39
You feel that Mike had to make a name.
7:41
Nobody didn't think Michael Jordan was gonna
7:43
be Michael fucking Jordan.
7:45
I think his coach in North Carolina felt like
7:47
that.
7:48
We felt like, like, okay, like when
7:51
Shack was in college, you knew Shack
7:53
was gonna be Shack, no question. That's what
7:55
I'm saying. You knew Michael Jordan had a chance
7:57
to be good, had a cheap, but you didn't know he was
7:59
going to be the greatest ever coming out of North
8:01
Carolina. Mike
8:04
got there, he had something to prove. Lebron
8:06
James was on fucking Sports Illustrated
8:09
in the fucking tenth grade or something, So
8:12
the dunk contest wasn't nothing.
8:14
He just had to come and ball out.
8:16
Man.
8:16
I just got to go ball out. Make sure I'm
8:18
putting these stats up and putting these numbers up. My team
8:20
is winning. That that was what was most
8:22
important to Lebron. It seemed like to me, Mike
8:25
was like, I gotta get a dunk contest. I'm competing
8:27
against fucking magic, I'm competing
8:30
against Bird.
8:31
They bigger than me.
8:32
They got bigger Lebron James basically
8:34
came to the NBA and he was already right there.
8:36
He just had to perform.
8:37
I think Lebron for him, I think he thought
8:40
about it sometimes. I just think, like you
8:42
gotta think for like Bron
8:44
Damn the whole career, he played
8:46
eighty two plus Damnar to the finals,
8:49
you know, every year.
8:50
I think I think he used that. You know what I'm saying.
8:52
Not only is he already playing in an All Star Game
8:54
every weekend, but I think he's using that as as somewhat
8:56
of a break, you know what I'm saying, because that'd be more more
8:59
on him to have to put after that.
9:00
And also, you know, I understand
9:02
what Steven A.
9:03
Smith is saying, because if
9:05
like like Matt said that Braun did, of
9:07
course some other guys would want to do it. But he's
9:10
saying as of being the face and the star
9:12
of the league, and Bron has been that face of
9:15
the league and that started the league for so long, it
9:17
would have been great for him to just try to do it
9:19
one time. But like you said that that that
9:21
might not have been a goal of his It might just been to
9:24
continue to his his longevity status, continued
9:26
to be in one of the best ever, continued
9:28
to be the best score we've ever seen, and
9:30
all those.
9:31
Type of things been his goal. But you
9:33
can't lie, man. It would have been great to see him do at least
9:35
one time.
9:36
Anything Lebron would have did in the league
9:38
would have been great if Lebron James
9:41
jumped in the three point contests.
9:43
Motherfuckers's tuned in the watch.
9:45
We open for to win, but
9:48
we tuned in in the watch because he's
9:50
the best player in the league.
9:52
I mean, I get all the accolades in long
9:54
term playing and we've been super blessed to see
9:57
him, But man, I don't want to hear all that shit.
9:59
I would have loved to see Lebron getting that motherfucker
10:01
one or two times, because you've seen him in the layup
10:03
lines, like you've seen him like turn it out, you've
10:05
seen him shit, you've seen him in his kids at AU lines,
10:08
freaking it.
10:08
You know what I mean.
10:09
So yeah,
10:11
man, I'm just saying from a fast perspective
10:14
again, I'm not placing no blame. Do whatever the fuck
10:16
you want. I get it, and I understand what everything you guys are
10:18
saying, but I would have loved to see Lebron
10:20
get in the dunk contest and motherfucker
10:22
put his head at the top of the square like this, dude,
10:25
is just different the All Star Game, Gilly said,
10:27
you liked it. I didn't get to see a lot
10:29
of it. But I've been seeing a lot of people disgusted
10:33
by the All Star Game, just the lack of competitiveness,
10:36
the open door. And I was never an All Star, so I'm
10:39
not again, I'm not talking about what the vibe
10:41
and the mindset should be. But our guys that forgotten
10:43
the season, shout out Dylan and Jolwney. They posted something
10:45
about ar would be the greatest All Star Game two thousand
10:47
and one when Ai and Steph
10:50
Marlbray brought him back against the Western Conference,
10:52
and it was just competitive jack, you know what
10:54
I mean. It wasn't Playoff Game seven
10:57
type energy, but it was just a pride
10:59
thing, going to go out there hard and lockdown.
11:01
And we have the greatest pickup game
11:03
ever assembled right here during this All Star weekend.
11:06
Let's go out and compete and and really
11:08
push each other, you know what I mean. So What
11:11
are your guys in thoughts on just the lack of effort
11:13
on the defensive end and just kind of it's
11:16
just a it's just a brother in law defense.
11:18
You score, I score, don't really competitiveness
11:21
in the game. What do your guys' thoughts on that? Do you think it waters
11:23
it down and fox it up?
11:25
I was at that All Star Game in two thousand
11:27
and one. That was my rookie yar and I made the Rookie
11:29
All Star Game, and uh man, Steph
11:31
was so happy for me, and I was happy for him to make that
11:34
make it that year. But I knew his mindset,
11:36
you know what I'm saying. I knew his mindset, and I was with
11:38
him and Chuck that that whole weekend.
11:41
I knew their mindset in that game. They wasn't It
11:43
wasn't never talked about going and just having fun.
11:45
They was talking about busting the West ass for
11:48
days. So so it
11:50
but it just so happened to come down to
11:52
a point where they had to come back and really turn
11:54
it up and play for real against shit,
11:57
some of the best players we've ever seen on the West.
11:58
The West was stacked at that told it at one point
12:01
that game.
12:02
They had KG at the three, Tim Duncan at
12:04
the four, and Check at the five at one point.
12:06
So that's crazy, so and and and
12:09
Ai and step brought them back.
12:10
But that it was.
12:12
It was the most entertaining All Star
12:14
Game for for one reason.
12:16
The competitiveness. That's the only reason.
12:18
They've shown a lot is real quick for Gilfore you go of
12:21
Kobe's interview with the knuckleheads and
12:23
old he had and talking about you know they
12:25
play harder at at U C l A
12:27
and these guys, it's just it's
12:29
it's what is.
12:31
The word is?
12:32
It's just frustrating because it could be amazing.
12:35
There's been times throughout the years where even
12:37
in the last few years where they've kind of changed it and
12:39
and and made it more competitive per quarter, and
12:42
guys have competed. But Gil,
12:44
I'm gonna get your thoughts. But then after we get
12:46
your thoughts, I want to what what do you guys feel like can
12:48
take it back?
12:49
There?
12:50
Is it players? Is it more incentives? Is
12:52
it giving the the conference
12:54
that wins it home court advantage in the finals.
12:57
But Gil, let me get your first thoughts. Overall
12:59
on the the All.
13:00
Star Game has always been kind of the same.
13:03
You know, I think that. You know, people
13:05
come out, they entertain the first you
13:08
know, two and a half
13:10
quarters to start getting
13:12
around, you know, the fourth quarter, close to the end
13:14
of the third, and then they start playing
13:17
for real. But then you know, you got some
13:19
All Star games. That's not gonna go like that
13:21
because by time they get to the fourth
13:23
quarter, that shit be a blowout. You
13:25
feel what I'm saying. You gotta understand
13:28
them dudes wasn't fucking missing.
13:32
You had holler Burn hit five threes
13:34
in the first quarter. The next quarter,
13:36
Dame Hito, So
13:39
these dudes and it's not like they these
13:41
dudes were shooting from fucking.
13:42
Thirty feet away.
13:45
That ship was super entertaining the
13:47
me to see dudes shooting from half
13:49
court knocking that shit down
13:52
Like God.
13:53
Damn, that's layups to professionals.
13:56
If the defenses do what play properly,
13:58
they're not shooting them shots.
14:00
We look at it different, you know what I mean, because
14:02
we played it. I love to hear where
14:04
where, Yeah, where Gilly is coming from, because again
14:06
he's coming from obviously we're fans now,
14:08
but he's coming from with just a purely basketball
14:11
fan standpoint.
14:12
I'm coming from that eight year old, that
14:15
ten year old, that twelve year old kid that
14:17
seen Damian Lillard stop
14:19
at half.
14:19
Court and shooting crazy. That
14:22
was believable to him.
14:24
That was better than fucking don't
14:26
any of them motherfuckers could have did.
14:28
That kid is like, holy shit,
14:31
Danny.
14:32
Came down at it hit another What
14:35
that kid in his backyard right
14:37
now shooting from his fucking
14:39
neighbor's fucking backyard.
14:42
I was watching that shit this morning because I missed most
14:44
of it because I was flying back home. Ashton
14:47
was next to me, Jack, my little five year old, and he was
14:49
watching this. So we played one on one a little bit ago
14:51
and he's like, Dad, I'm gonna get some shots from half court real
14:53
quick. Five years old, you know what I mean. So
14:56
just that imprint, how fast
14:58
they pick it up and how amazing, Like ash
15:00
it made me rewind that shit consistent.
15:02
You know, you're right, You're right, it's different.
15:04
But this goes back to the steph shit,
15:06
you know what I mean? Like I said, I used to coach when the
15:08
boys when I first finished, boys are
15:10
seven or eight, and Jack, they don't even touch
15:13
the paint to get war. No more, no form, shoot or nothing.
15:15
These motherfuckers are just launching that bitch, and that's
15:17
just kind of the change of the game. But to Gill's
15:19
point, when you come from a fear pure
15:22
fans perspective, he said, eight, nine,
15:24
ten, My son is five and watched that shit
15:26
like ten times and we played one on one. This point is
15:28
like that, I'm gon shoot from half court like it's
15:30
just it's it's really purely entertaining.
15:33
You know, Okay, you can jump high, you could dun't.
15:35
Okay, Now these dudes
15:38
is shooting from so far away that
15:40
that shit is amazing. And then you
15:42
gotta understand the three point contest is
15:44
kind of tooking over the dunk.
15:46
Contest because of the fact that Stephen
15:48
a is saying the stars ain't coming
15:51
out for it.
15:52
It's not necessarily that too.
15:54
Is that it's the game is transitioning,
15:57
The game is going. The game has been about
15:59
dun't. It has been about that shit for
16:01
so long. Now the game is about
16:04
stopping and pulling up from forty feet
16:06
and turning around while the ball in the air.
16:09
Yeah, I know why I hit
16:11
that.
16:19
It's totally different if you got a guy
16:21
like John mourrat winning
16:23
a dunk contest. And this ain't nothing against Matt mcclunk
16:25
because I coached Matt mc clunk. He's a solid kid
16:28
and he been preparing for these days
16:30
for a long time to win.
16:31
He's dunk because yeah, because he's were kids,
16:34
so he deserve all of it.
16:35
But it would be a different look if they was raising
16:37
that job that trophy with John Moran
16:41
than mcclunk.
16:41
That's just the truth.
16:42
I mean, Gilly, you like it the entertainment side,
16:45
A lot of people aren't on your side when it comes to
16:47
that that. You know, they just feel like there's just no
16:49
more competitiveness in the game. So
16:52
what are some ways you guys feel like if they were
16:54
going to do it, they can change it. Is that again
16:56
offering more money per winning for the winning
16:58
team, is at home court advantage in the finals?
17:01
Is it? Is it the og set
17:03
in the tone again? And when
17:05
we talk about this, Gil, it's not necessarily again blaming
17:07
them, but I'm thinking there are some OG's that
17:09
like if you see Steph out there busting his ass,
17:12
KD out there busting's ass, brawn out their busting's ass.
17:14
And I'm not saying they haven't, but that kind
17:16
of has to be like, well, shit, if they're gonna do it, I
17:18
got to do it because I heard Anthony Edwards when they interviewed
17:20
them after the game. You know, this is all this is. You
17:22
know, this is kind of a break right now. No one's really trying
17:25
to compete, and that's just kind of the mindset
17:27
that's been you know that that's the product
17:29
that's been put in front of them. But
17:31
if Anthony Edwards came into this where the games were
17:33
super competitive all the time, Anthony
17:35
Edwards will come out there and be super competitive.
17:38
But we also got to remember, this
17:41
is All Star weekend, this is
17:43
entertainment. This is did
17:46
not afford for Lebron
17:49
James to be guarding Anthony Edwards.
17:51
He go up for a fucking don't come
17:53
down and twist his fucking ankle.
17:56
Now he helped for three fucking weeks about
17:58
an All Star game where we
18:00
just supposed to be having fun.
18:02
There's been a history of people who've played that hard.
18:04
And again, when you're out there, you can't think about
18:07
that. And if you do think about that and you're not playing
18:09
hard, that's how that can happen. That's when
18:11
you are playing hard. That happens.
18:14
So when I'm saying history,
18:15
because in
18:17
the history of the All Star Game, that
18:20
should be sixty points time in a
18:23
frecklergains.
18:23
Even when Magic came back, when you had their little situation
18:26
that later came back, that game was even close with Isaiah
18:28
when he shot that three on Isaiah.
18:29
They used to play. Bro.
18:31
That's because the game may get too far out
18:33
of hand, and then when they get to the fourth
18:35
quarter, it's like, Okay, we down
18:37
six, y'all, let's win this shit.
18:40
No, I get it, but that's the same shit we talked about
18:42
the two thousand and one game. Then down twenty
18:44
plus, you know what I mean. But like I said,
18:46
if you compete throughout the game and turn it on in
18:48
the fourth, it's a different story. Because
18:50
those teams are balanced, and you look at the West coming
18:52
out that you would think all the older OG's
18:55
like they were gonna blow them out, and that just wasn't the
18:57
case. These young boys went out there and went
18:59
crazy. So I just think I
19:01
think the last ten years has kind of been whatever. But
19:03
before that Gil early two thousands,
19:06
before to the mid two thousands and then eighties
19:08
through the nineties, Bro that ship was competitive.
19:11
The dudes played hard.
19:13
We always talk about how the
19:15
m v P is a regular season award, right,
19:17
We always talk about that, you know what I'm saying. And
19:19
I think that that'll give more incentive
19:22
for the for m v P. If
19:25
they changed just the regular season
19:27
best team in the regular seam best player, they get home
19:29
court in the first three rounds, but the finals,
19:31
the finals goes to whatever conference won the All
19:33
Star Game.
19:34
I think they turn it up.
19:35
Then Let's be for real, the All Star Game
19:37
will be the All Third Game. The old things will be. The
19:39
Biggs play harder, the more fucking buddy like,
19:42
we big into the finals. We can beat them biggas
19:44
a game at.
19:45
Hod nah hen hell
19:47
nah, that.
19:48
Shit matter, Gil, And
19:52
now you're talking like a fan. That shit definitely
19:54
matters.
19:55
That should matter, Gill. That should matter
19:59
big hard.
20:00
That the
20:04
team that with everybody getting them
20:06
at what fifty you niggas,
20:09
especially to young, but.
20:11
Just think it out.
20:11
You got a team with uh kd
20:15
Braun, you
20:17
got Kawhi,
20:19
you got Minnesota Edwards, and you
20:21
got uh Yo
20:24
kids.
20:24
You got all of them have a great chance of winning
20:26
the finals.
20:27
Bro.
20:28
You know what homecourt advantage that's
20:30
everything.
20:31
You know what you but but you just named some
20:33
old niggas. Maybe you need some young
20:36
legs to get to them loose basketballs.
20:39
Bro, You need them young legs. Get
20:41
all the fucking remails you need every
20:43
time, every time they missed the three
20:45
who got the rebail? The young niggas,
20:48
you know what, they got, the brand
20:50
new fucking tires on them cars. Got
20:53
all these niggas you name, they four
20:55
more years away from hip replacement water
20:58
on the.
21:00
Yoki yo kic.
21:02
Luca, Uh, it was they all baby
21:04
all Luca a dootate none
21:06
of that shit series.
21:08
Luca slow
21:10
it at me and I'm forty seven, man.
21:15
Hey, they said Luca's got like what was it?
21:17
It was like fifty something points and
21:19
like his five All Star appearances or
21:21
or or thirty high thirty like
21:25
Luca's like, I don't at all.
21:27
I don't even want to be here. I would have been home.
21:29
Like, hey, Lucas shot a full
21:32
court a full court two for one.
21:35
Luca threw that shoot off the glass. They didn't jump
21:37
for it.
21:39
That ship was funny. Uh. Dunts on
21:41
Stephan Sabrina, sit thoughts
21:45
on Stephan Stephan Sabrina Sabrina
21:47
Ship. She hit that twenty six that could have put her
21:49
in the finals of the men's competition. Steph
21:52
came through and hit that twenty nine. Uh.
21:54
I liked it, to be honest with you, I thought it was competitive.
21:56
It could have went either way. She's a hell of a shooter. Obviously
21:59
we know what Steph is, But were your guys' starts on that competition.
22:02
I loved it. Bro she a shooter. I mean, shooters
22:04
respect shooters. I don't care if she a woman, she could
22:06
shoot. She you know, it's
22:09
been many times, but I've been with to La
22:11
Fitness and to pick up like legims
22:13
like that, and it was girls that was in there better
22:15
than some of the dudes, but on the sideline.
22:17
So if she can shoot, let her shoot.
22:18
And I think one day a
22:20
lot of them guys that are scared that's in the three point contests.
22:23
They gonna they're gonna do a co ed one and they gonna
22:25
feel bad when they get dusted.
22:26
Hell yeah, co ed three point
22:29
contests would be dope.
22:30
Hell yeah.
22:31
I feel like the three point contest is the strongest
22:33
thing left in the All Star Game. The Skills Channel used
22:35
to be dope, and now they're doing pairs of threes and
22:37
doing all kinds of weird shit. So really the only solid
22:40
thing it used to be the dunk contest.
22:43
It's it used to be some of the All Star game. But
22:45
now the only solid thing to stand on is is that
22:47
three point shooting, because that's to Gills point earlier.
22:49
That's what the game is now.
22:50
Subtumes, you get a little
22:52
age, or you start acting like the old
22:55
nigger.
22:55
This ship is for the kids.
22:58
The kids.
22:59
Let us half run of the rail, throwing
23:01
that ship through the top, throwing that ship through the
23:04
hoops, competing. They out
23:06
there having fun. Yo, stop
23:08
being some old niggers daughters.
23:10
We need to hear that ship. You're right because, like I said,
23:12
we look at it through a different lands. And like I said, I
23:14
love when you're giving us just that that entertainment
23:17
perspective. I don't always agree with you, but
23:19
you're absolutely right.
23:20
But at your extra five year old son
23:23
the whole time they throwing the ball through the through
23:25
the joy he.
23:26
Like this, Who
23:28
wasn't dad?
23:30
Oh?
23:30
They entertainment
23:34
man.
23:34
The skills chote get gets the lowest ratings
23:37
out of everything all weekend.
23:38
That's cool.
23:41
That's cool.
23:42
At the end of the day, the bulk
23:45
of the people who's supposed to be watching ain't
23:47
watching. Because we adults, we want
23:50
to see the dunks, we want to see the three points.
23:52
We want to see the All Star Game.
23:54
I ain't watch none of that ship, but the All Star Game.
23:56
The celebrity game would get more views than the
23:58
All Star Game. But they won't put me.
24:00
And they had that ship with Chris Brown too. It's funny
24:02
you said that, Uh it wasn't
24:04
and I say it was all due respect. There wasn't a ton of big name
24:07
celebrities in that and people that were really out
24:09
there whoping. Michael Parsons did what he wanted out there,
24:11
and that that receiver from the Rams was
24:13
a monster too. But they they
24:15
I guess the NBA invited Chris Brown and then drew
24:17
back the invitation talking about some of the sponsors,
24:19
Woo Ruffles and Ruffles came out and
24:21
said they didn't have nothing to do with it.
24:23
Man, I don't even talk about this ship.
24:25
But
24:28
our assistant was talking to the people
24:31
from the league. M I
24:34
was told that I was playing in the game and
24:36
I was gonna be miked up.
24:39
This year. Or
24:42
last year, what happened?
24:46
What happened? Too
24:49
many black a months.
24:55
The motherfucking list came out of the players.
24:57
I wasn't on there.
24:58
You didn't make the cut, you didn't make the team. Damn,
25:01
you're trying. Must have been weak.
25:03
Hey, I'm gonna tell you why.
25:07
I'm gonna tell you why, Gilly, I know why, hm
25:10
hmm, Because you was m VP
25:12
of the Big three Celebrity All Star Game.
25:14
That's crazy, man, It's
25:16
a politics like that.
25:18
So so you mean to tell me because I
25:20
was big, I was m v P two years
25:22
in the row the African American League.
25:27
Basically basically, So
25:29
you telly, I hope that
25:31
ain't the case.
25:32
So you telling me that the m v P is
25:34
the Nile.
25:39
I'm trying to tell you, I hope that ain't
25:41
the case.
25:42
I'm mad. So you seeing I'm Blackie Robbinson.
25:47
You're saying he been black balled. That's
25:51
crazy. Now, I'd be dope. I mean, there's
25:54
a lot of rappers out there, cahoop. Actually, I'm gonna
25:56
have to say a lot. There's a handful of real rappers out there. The
25:58
hoop jess like
26:00
me. Man, I gotta say no, I say,
26:02
you're one of the old j's that can hop.
26:04
Yeah, you're one of the old j's that.
26:05
Can hold for in the country. Want to play
26:07
me in basketball? I'm
26:10
somebody's grandfather. I
26:13
got three young boys that called
26:15
me.
26:16
I don't want to hear all these excuses. Now, I don't want to hear
26:18
all these excuses. Now, let's
26:21
line it up. Let's get like the ca
26:26
Yeah that was he, that was That was a horrible
26:28
decision.
26:29
I don't even know why they got Kyrie
26:31
to play Uncle Drew when
26:34
I'm the real and
26:36
real y'all
26:40
wouldn't have had to use the make up, no.
26:44

27:26
He could only take two dribbles, and I could
27:28
do.
27:28
What I care.
27:29
Hey, that's how in practice motherfuckers
27:32

27:34
And try to make stipulations
27:36
on dribbles.
27:37
I ain't even tripping off that. I ain't even trip but
27:39
Jack, you know you play one, two or three dribbles in
27:41
practice? You know what I mean? He
27:44
dribbles two dribbles, but two he'll
27:46

27:47
Still, Jamal got this,

28:20
No man, luck

28:26
He's probably flying home right now. I'm betting the whole house
28:28

definitely got game, but betting
28:33

Listen, you tuble somebody
29:58
that's thirteen years old.
29:59
A year he got that same shift the ship his
30:01
daddy got.
30:02
Now, I think an old man could be the thirteen year old, even
30:04
if he's not. JJ's nice stuff.
30:06
These young niggas got that ship.
30:07
No, Bro, I am with him every day
30:09
I went. But I'll give him that.
30:11
Gili, Gil,
30:14
Gil Gil, stop acting like you're not our
30:16
age.
30:16
But I'm gonna ma, he's gonna man straight.
30:18
Believe you played with Beck.
30:21
No, I think you. I think you could beat JJ. He's only
30:23
twelve or thirteen. I hope you could beat JJ.
30:26
But once they started getting fifteen and sixty,
30:28
that's a different story.
30:29
It's some kids from thirteen to sixteen
30:31
that's by six seven, six eight, that you can't
30:33
beat. I'm
30:35
just being hones. I know you, I know
30:37
you nice. But he got some kids in high school
30:40
and right then and then, I'm telling
30:42
you.
30:42
That the.
30:44
Same one that's gonna be taking the ball underneath. They
30:47
asked when they dunk. When they get older, they're thirteen.
30:50
Like this, Hey,
30:52
Gil, I would not play with stack like fifteen.
30:59
It is a guarantee.
31:00
You give us a thirteen year old in my pinky
31:03
toe stack.
31:04
No I acknowledge is one thing is yeah
31:06
you have that. You do have that.
31:08
But these kids are fast, they're
31:10
young, and you're acting like you're not our
31:12
age skill Gill, you're our age.
31:15
I'm forty seven.
31:16
Oh he ain't two years old?
31:17
It you all did it, I'm trying to tell him.
31:19
We all around the same age. We guess what stack
31:22
your fucking knees and matt knees goss
31:26
sixty two thousand, eight
31:28
hundred and thirty two fucking miles
31:31
on them.
31:33
So your ships are still fresh as what you're saying. You
31:35
rub, you rub warm goat milk on your knees
31:38
every night.
31:38
I'm running the run flats right,
31:44
and Nigga say you eat massage warm goat milk
31:46
in his knee caps every night.
31:47
Just think about this. You
31:50
think a stud got
31:52
seven thousand.
31:53
Treatments in the locker
31:55
room.
32:00
All right, we can talk about this ship all day, but yeah,
32:02
we definitely want to. We want to. We want to get
32:04
a camera on that game. We definitely want to check
32:06
that out. Because two drip of Jamal is gonna bust
32:08
your ass. But let's move on.
32:10
I'm a cook little man, I'll
32:13
give you that.
32:14
But he's gonna get a couple of points on Yes, for sure,
32:17
you don't get some points on you though, Philly
32:19
Sports. All
32:23
right, well, all right, I hope,
32:25
so I hope,
32:27
so, I hope you don't have to hurt him
32:30
to beat him. Respect
32:36
He started to sweat. Hey, Philly
32:38
Sports, let's move on to Philly. Hey, Philly Sports
32:41
is official. It's beneficial
32:43
in the past, but it's been back down for a while.
32:46
But across the board, I mean, the Eagles, the
32:48
Phillies, the Sixers, everybody's
32:50
eating out there. What's the energy like out there?
32:53
When it when just just the whole ecosystem
32:55
is echoing.
32:56
It's beautiful, It's
32:59
beautiful.
32:59
Jack.
33:00
First of all, you know, we just got
33:02
Buddy Hill.
33:03
Right all right, mm
33:06
hmm you like that move as.
33:08
Three point shooting around Joel and b oh.
33:11
Then we got the Then we got a little
33:13
point guard, left handed kid Cam Yeah.
33:16
I like him a lot.
33:17
Here a dog too, yeah, So
33:19
now you know, now we put them dudes, Kelly
33:22
Ooh, Bray, Tobias
33:24
Harris, Nicholas Patuone,
33:26
we got limb Maxie.
33:28
Not about Maxie first time All Star?
33:31
Oh you we already
33:33
know what nephew do.
33:34
Mm hmm tough. My question
33:37
is in b coming back though Niscus
33:39
they say re evaluated four weeks, that are probably
33:42
closer to eight weeks. So that puts you maybe
33:44
the end of March.
33:45
We just only thirty games.
33:47
Now.
33:47
Let me just tell you something, maybe to a big motherfucker ahead
33:50
and get yourself together and get ready for these playoffs.
33:52
Any worry about that?
33:53
Okay, come back with ten games left,
33:55
get your rhythm back when we ready.
33:57
Give me your top five players
33:59
in the league right now, or who's playing the best?
34:01
Maybe let's go. I don't want to have to Who's who's
34:03
your.
34:03
M v P Joell and B without a doubt,
34:06
the best player in the league. Okay, it's
34:08
not even close. The
34:10
center playing in the in the Guards League and he
34:12
averaged thirty six points a game.
34:15
Mm hmmm, that boy tough Shay
34:17
Gilders.
34:18
Alexander, that's
34:22
my that's my MVP, right VP.
34:24
Without a doubt. It's not even close. Unbelievable,
34:27
But that two I would have to go, uh.
34:33
Yo, kic.
34:35
Mm hmmm, that's three I would
34:37
have to go, uh, Jason
34:40
Tatum.
34:42
I like Jason Tatum a.
34:43
Lot, and uh
34:45
five would.
34:46
Have to be.
34:49
You're forgetting one young killer.
34:56
I probably still gotta go Giannis. Mm
34:59
hmm.
35:00
You can't. You can't go wrong with that. I
35:03
like Anthony Edwards is my young my one
35:05
of my favorite players in the league right.
35:06
Now, Anthony Edwards is. I
35:10
would probably put Anthony Edwards
35:13
six right now.
35:15
Mm hmmm.
35:16
And those five wasn't in no order except.
35:18
For yeah, those are just your top five player in the league.
35:21
Anytime you a big man in the Guards League
35:23
and you haveage in thirty six.
35:25
Points
35:26
and six
35:28
assists, flock
35:31
and a half.
35:33
Come on, man, here, you tough. Who
35:42
you got coming out the West? Who are your top two teams? Who give
35:44
me your final four? If mbat is
35:46
healthy, give me your final four? Two
35:48
on the West, two on the East.
35:49
I think the final four is the Sixers
35:51
and the Celtics in the East, and
35:54
I think the final four in
35:56
the West will be
36:00
for some reason, I want to say, okay, see
36:02
and Denver.
36:04
Mm hmmmm, damn
36:07
Jack, what's your final fourth?
36:08
I got Denver and the Clippers. I
36:11
got Milwaukee
36:17
and Boston in the finals. But
36:21
I'm gone Boston
36:25
Clippers. I'm going Clippers winning all
36:27
who you got in the.
36:28
Finals, Gil, I think okay
36:30
See and the Sixers
36:34
hometown, I
36:37
think yeah, I think Oklahoma
36:39
City. Just they know they
36:42
roles many
36:45
and that's that's important to being great.
36:47
Knowing who your first best player is, knowing
36:50
who your second best player is, knowing
36:52
who your best defensive player is, know
36:54
who your best hustle player is, your
36:56
third best player. Like they
36:59
they got a peck in order, you know what I'm saying,
37:02
Like, like, go ahead, go ahead,
37:04
Sta.
37:05
Yeah, and you're right, you know.
37:07
But what's gonna be interesting to see with them, Gil, because
37:09
they've been having a great year of all years, when you get to the
37:11
playoffs, different and
37:14
ship they take away, like shah a lot
37:16
of that ship he got. They taking all that ship away, and they're
37:18
gonna make somebody else beat them. So if they
37:20
can make them type of adjustments during the course of
37:22
the game in the playoffs, yeah, they got a great chance
37:24
to win.
37:25
That's what I was gonna ask. Are they're too young? I mean, the experience
37:27
is huge. No young teams ever really
37:30
make no runs, you know what I mean? That's not to say it
37:32
can't. Golden State was a younger team when they
37:34
started making their run, and
37:36
I'm not saying, okay, so he can't be that team. But it's
37:38
just the whole nother monster in the playoffs.
37:40
It is and and and one one
37:42
one person that that you just can't
37:44
count out in the playoffs. It's
37:47
like, for some reason when it's
37:49
when they gets to the playoffs, it's like this motherfucker
37:51
becomes so efficient,
37:53
like Kawhi.
37:55
Leonard Man and he's been
37:57
playing too.
37:57
That motherfuckers like a machine when
37:59
he gets to the playoffs.
38:01
Man,
38:04
Like you know, watching him over a seven
38:07
Series game when he played for Toronto against
38:09
the Sixers, it's like, all right, he
38:12
gonna he gonna have he gonna have a bad game,
38:14
all right, he going alright, alright,
38:17
He motherfucker had full of good games in a row. All
38:19
Right, he gonna he do for one. God
38:21
damn, all right, this game seven
38:23
man, This nick can't had all good games.
38:25
God damn he hit the game winner on.
38:28
Top of having a good game. Now,
38:31
Kawhi is different. Bro.
38:32
Then you watching the finals and
38:35
you're like, man, that man just plays seven fucking
38:37
good games against us man. Ain't no way
38:39
he got it, man, Nigga. I used
38:41
to shoot out the niggas man.
38:42
Remember he guarded Giannis the next round two. Remember
38:45
towards the end of the series, he was having luck the first
38:47
time and they put Giannis on him at the end.
38:50
Yeah, I mean my two are. I feel like
38:53
I'm taking the Clippers out the west, Boston out the East,
38:55
and I feel like the Clippers can stay healthy. I feel like they
38:57
could win it all. For everything you just said
39:00
on top of Paul George, I love I
39:02
love uh t Lou's mind.
39:05
They got a deep ass team. They got
39:07
a lot of guys that have been there
39:09
but still young enough to kind of really make happen.
39:11
Things happen. I feel like health. And
39:13
then you got James Harden, who's bought in twenty
39:16
and ten can go off for forty given time, but it's
39:18
really bought into his role. Russ Is bought into his row.
39:20
You spoke about roles, and that's huge. That's a great point.
39:22
This the opportunity man.
39:27
Their windows closed. Hmmm.
39:32
They got three players on the team that's
39:34
not known for operating
39:36
in the playoffs. Who
39:41
James Harden.
39:43
M I don't know about that. He
39:45
just ain't won the big one yet.
39:46
But go ahead.
39:47
But what I'm saying is the knock did
39:49
he get his one whin it's the big
39:51
game.
39:52
He don't win them. He didn't put up well numbers, George.
39:55
Paul, that's not true because Paul George took
39:57
these boys to the Western Finals, not too
40:00
that playoff p h the
40:02
ship and.
40:03
Ok see Indiana and Indiana.
40:05
But so yeah, now and the Clippers, he's been killed. You gotta
40:07
look what he's done with the Clippers. He's been killing in the playffs
40:09
with the Clippers.
40:10
Georgia is an unbelievable player. For
40:12
what I'm saying is when it becomes
40:15
that game. How
40:17
I just said, Kawhi Leonard got it done
40:19
in that game. Paul
40:23
George haven't gotten it done in those
40:25
games yet.
40:26
So I have a question if you're going against
40:28
if you got in b going against the Clippers, and
40:30
he's the one you know that's gonna go, just like
40:32
Kawhi is the one you're gonna you know
40:34
who's gonna go for the Clippers. I'm
40:36
taking James and p g over
40:39
it with all due respect any other two on
40:41
your team on the Philly t Yeah,
40:45
you know that, I feel like it's really gonna rock.
40:47
So to me, that's why I like, how can it
40:49
not? How can it not balance out? And even
40:52
if you feel like they're not gonna rock, you know, Kawhi
40:54
will be the consistent. If you get guys that you
40:56
got three different guys outside of Kawhi,
40:58
they can give you thirty in the playoffs. And
41:00
and and and old boy is nice too. You
41:03
see Ala kid what's his name? Norman Powell
41:05
is a gamer, you know what I mean? So you got enough
41:07
people that could really do. They got a lot of depth
41:09
and a lot of scoring.
41:11
Man, So okay, a
41:13
lot of depth and a lot of scorn.
41:15
Right, but this beat a problem
41:17
in the playoffs?
41:19
Are we gonna come down and get a ball to Kawhi Leonard
41:21
six times in a row like we're supposed to?
41:24
They gonna play like they're playing right now.
41:25
They're gonna keep flowing and
41:29
everyone else ain't going. Why I'll get the ball, loud
41:32
demanded.
41:33
When Kawhi Leonard, we
41:35
know he's no forgetting
41:37
the job done. So now when it's
41:39
coming down to the wire, is we gonna come
41:42
down every time and run our ship?
41:44
Through Kawhi like Toronto did when
41:46
they won a championship. Who is do Paul
41:48
Singman? I ain't touched the ball four times
41:50
down? I gotta get a shot at now,
41:53
James say, you know what is a fast
41:55
break? I'm gonna pull up. I'm gonna take a three.
41:57
That beat the difference between winning
42:00
and lose.
42:02
You know, and you know what I think, and and and you made
42:04
a great point, because that's what That's what the problem
42:06
was. When they first got together Gil, they
42:08
didn't have no camaraderie, didn't know who's gonna do what
42:11
I think. I think they're at the point now. You're right that is a
42:13
big problem. But I think to this point this season
42:15
and the way they play, I think they didn't figure that
42:17
all out. I think the peckinard is understood, and I think
42:19
t Lou has a great grip
42:22
on controlling James as as
42:24
as as telling him, you know what I'm saying,
42:26
to divide to the divide the pie evenly. But
42:28
whoever going, you know what I'm saying, keep spoon
42:30
feeding them too, you know what.
42:31
I'm just kind of.
42:32
Feel I think they got it though. But at the beginning of Gil,
42:34
you exactly right. That's all you saw on the court.
42:37
James didn't know who to get a ball to at the end, you
42:39
didn't know Rust didn't like. It was chaos,
42:41
bro, and that's why people were talking about it wasn't gonna work.
42:43
But it took time to filter out and t Lou
42:45
tried to figure these guys out. Now you see all
42:48
four of the motherfuckers on the court at the same time
42:50
at the end.
42:50
Of the games.
42:51
Yeah, because they get it. Two
42:53
teams that that you know
42:55
in Lebron and Steph that
42:58
you know, ain't no telling them what can happen when they come to the
43:00
playoffs. But between those two teams, if they both
43:02
make it, what team do you feel like
43:04
I could could could really play spoiler in the Western
43:06
Conference.
43:07
We're doing hypotheticals again. Either one of the motherfucker's
43:10
gonna make it.
43:11
No, I think I think if anybody can make
43:13
it, I think it's gonna be a Golden
43:15
State.
43:17
They're playing better.
43:19
Because at the end of the day, one thing
43:22
you know, for Sirt, you know what you're gonna get from
43:24
Steps and you know
43:26
what you're gonna get from Draymond. He
43:28
gonna bring the energy you know what
43:30
you're gonna get from Kamenka. He's gonna
43:32
be athletic, he's gonna be wiry, he's gonna
43:34
attack.
43:35
You know that.
43:36
Andrew Wiggins is gonna play great d He
43:38
gonna get you anywhere from twelve
43:41
to twenty points.
43:43
Now the factor
43:45
is Klay Thompson.
43:48
Yeah.
43:49
Now, if Klay Thompson say, okay,
43:52
I'm gonna eat you all, asses up. Ya've been
43:54
disrespecting me all year, acting
43:57
like I ain't who I am.
44:00
Okay, watch this. I'm about to go into historical
44:02
run on y'all asses.
44:04
I hope. So that's my dog.
44:06
It can happen.
44:08
I would love to see it. I wouldn't be mad at it.
44:11
That man off the bench.
44:14
I think it also lit a fire. And you see the first game he had
44:16
thirty five, So if he keeps that fire. Clay's
44:18
whole thing to me is mental. It's
44:20
all mental. He's real hard on himself.
44:22
So if he could just be at peace and go out
44:24
there and hoop an X factor
44:27
like Clay is crazy. Kaitlin Cark scored a
44:29
career high forty nine points to break Kelsey
44:31
Plumb last week. She
44:33
needs ninety nine points. Oh
44:36
wait, She's also the all time women's leading scorer, right,
44:38
yeah, yep, yeah, all time
44:41
women's leading scorer. I needs ninety nine
44:43
points. So basically, you know, a little over twenty four
44:45
game twenty five a game to not pistol
44:47
piece Division one record of an all
44:50
time leading score in
44:52
NCUBA. So my question to you
44:54
guys is, well, she entered the WNBA
44:57
as one of the best players in the league.
45:00
Yep, she gonna get there and she gonna kill.
45:02
And I put money on her and Sabrina against
45:04
two NBA players shooting.
45:05
Damn, sure will because they are real pair
45:07
of shooters. But yeah, congratulations
45:09
to her. She deserves it.
45:11
But she's definitely gonna get into the league and killed. Obviously,
45:13
it's gonna be some adjustments she have to make when she gets.
45:16
To the league.
45:17
But uh, as far as just period talent and scoring,
45:19
Brough she the truth.
45:21
I don't really think I'm just me being
45:23
honest.
45:25
I think, you know, like he said, it's gonna be some
45:27
adjustments, but I think she gonna adjust.
45:29
Immediately as soon as she get there.
45:32
Yeah, she got a certain type of confidence
45:35
that she played with.
45:37
You know what I'm saying with I
45:39
know I'm just shit.
45:42
Like that confidence when
45:44
you can't teach you you.
45:46
Got that competence.
45:47
Because see, most people, most
45:49
players that go
45:51
to the NBA, everybody was the ship in
45:54
college, every like like JJ Reddick
45:56
for example, in
45:59
college, he didn't miss
46:01
if he was open.
46:02
You knew it was good. He first got
46:04
to league, that motherfucker was missing foul
46:06
shots, all kinds of ship because
46:09
it was a confidence thing.
46:12
Then when he finally got with whatever team
46:15
where he felt the confidence, he felt comfortable.
46:17
Now he backed to JJ Brenden, you
46:22
feel what I'm saying. Lot of
46:24
times he'd just be confidence with the players.
46:28
She she's not gonna lack no
46:30
confidence.
46:32
Fact, you remind me of like.
46:34
A Caucasian Bubba Chuck.
46:35
Like you knew he wasn't lacking
46:38
no confidence coming to the league.
46:41
He's not laughing none of that.
46:43
She she pulling up from
46:45
from them, turned around,
46:48
walking up to the crowd. She's doing all listening.
46:51
She ain't lacking no confidence at all. She's gonna
46:53
come right in and cook.
46:55
Yeah, she's gonna be let cook. Looking
46:58
forward to seeing her at the next level, but also finish the
47:00
season. It feels like to me, and it's crazy,
47:02
I feel like women's college basketball is
47:04
bigger than men's college basketball of
47:06
late last couple of years. The
47:10
names and I feel like, obviously that the
47:12
men's side has been watered down because there's so many different options
47:14
for guys to go do now, G League, Knight, you
47:16
can go over over the water, G League,
47:19
So all the best players aren't going to college on the men's
47:21
sides. But the women's side been averaging more
47:23
viewers. Games have been competitive as fuck, and there's
47:25
real stars on their side, man,
47:27
So I'm happy for them.
47:29
You know what I just told one of my friends,
47:31
man, he said, we
47:34
was watching college basketball.
47:35
He said, Yo, you know what's funny, man, I don't know none
47:38
of these dudes. Man. You know, I used to know players.
47:40
On everybody, everybody, he said,
47:43
I don't know none of these dudes. And
47:45
I said Joan, I said, bro, But when you
47:47
think about it, college
47:49
don't have no Kevin
47:51
Durantz. It don't
47:54
have no Carmelo Anthony's.
47:57
It don't have no Vince Youngs, I
48:00
mean, Evince Carters.
48:01
It don't like it
48:03
don't have none of those type of players where
48:06
you just be like the women
48:08
do. Yeah, mm hmmm,
48:11
the women like
48:13
you know what I'm saying. Looking
48:16
