3:35

Star twenty four I was doing. Man,

3:38

No, man, we appreciate you coming through. We're good 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.

27:26

He could only take two dribbles, and I could

27:28

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

27:37

27:39

Jack, you know you play one, two or three dribbles in

27:41

practice? You know what I mean? He

27:44

27:47

Still, Jamal got this,

28:26

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

28:28

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

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

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
