Speaker 1 (12:47):
This segments called Sparks or Fire, brought to you by
Row Fast Acting long Lasting Geno Davis ed Treatment. So
have you seen Brandon Jennings calling out all the players
from his own night raft lately? Yes, that seems like
some ship you might That seemed like some ship you

Speaker 2 (13:13):
I want to play Jeff T.
Speaker 1 (13:14):

play lou Will.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I like Brandon Jenner's a lot, you know, I mean
like me too. He was he was tough and they
came in the league. I like Brandon Jenny, but I
think Brandon was smoking some real good ship.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Well I thought they went on.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
I mean, I love you, Brandon, now you know I
love you boy, you know I love you so but
I don't know what they were smoking before they.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Went on, and he went on. He want to he wanted.
He went on saying, and I'll give it.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I mean, Brandon Jennings has always been when he was healthy,
He's been a killer since I since high school. He
went overseas and then came and when he got to
the league, he was ready to go and he was
rocking his first year. But I mean, Drew Holliday is
is tough. Drew Holliday is tough. Brandon was a big
time scorer. But Brandon or you know, Drew his two ways.
(14:13):
He's smart, built four tough. Uh. He also called out
some other guys though. He called out Jeff Tig, Ty Lawson,
Lou Will all them dudes.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Tigue was a killer.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Ty Lawson is still playing overseas if I'm not mistaken.
So he's ready and you know, you know sweet Lou
Lou is always ready to hoop.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
So in twenty four hours, all.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
All these dudes responding, So we may have some kind
of one on one challenge. Maybe we can get some
money together for all the smoke and have you hosted
the one on one Hey.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Hosted by Mad Max. Let's maybe maybe we didn't like that,
might need to go.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
We might need to go get ce four the sponsor
a CEE four. I got a proposition for you, guys, man,
we might need to the Mad Max C four one
on one. We'll get some money, We'll get some.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Brand.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
He said that, he said he want he called that
name we wanted.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Let's make it, Hey, b b J. You was called
you was cold, bro. But I hope you're ready because
you called us some real, some real hoopers. But I
love I love that kind of competitive spirit. I mean,
I don't know he's necessarily agree, but I mean, you know,
you gotta think that way. And you know Brand has
always been a hooper. So I'm not even mad at
the way he's thinking. But now you're gonna have to
(15:35):
back it up. He's probably not. Drew's not gonna play
him obviously. You know he's still in the league doing
the same. The guys out the league that you called out,
you got they coming. So Max is this is this
is this sparks or fire? Max is real fire or Sparks?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Oh man, I think it's fire Man. I like it.
I like it.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
It's fire fire, sir, anyone, anyone you can call out
your draft class. I don't think most people in Max's
draft class can still really move around. Max is the
Max Is Special. Max still move around like he's in
his thirties. But this motherfuckers, man.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
You hit it right on, you hit it round the head.
My knick.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
These motherfuckers, you know, these guys. I wouldn't even know
who these motherfuckers is have.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Now you know they been.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I love all your motherfuckers.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I love all your motherfuckers. Now, don't get offended, and
I'll be talking shit about old Max. Don't come in
my box with all that bullshit. I love all your
motherfuckers from the eighty eighty five. You motherfuckers doing better
than what you was doing.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
What you used to do.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Shit, do something, huh hey transitioning. The Celtics were just
purchased for a record sale for North American franchise six
point one billion. But what I wanted to discuss obviously,
congratulations to the new ownership, But the narrative that that
that you know, the ratings are down and and and
(17:05):
the NBA needs to fix this this and that. At
the end of the day, the business of the NBA
is still booming, and I don't want people and we
were someone to talk about the ratings and all that
kind of stuff. But it's big as it's ever been
on on social media. Obviously, out of every sports team
ever sold, you know this, this team just went for
(17:26):
the most. So I think this opens a lot of
doors and room for expansion.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
You know, the NBA has been talking about adding a
couple more teams. You know, they just signed that huge
ivany six billion dollar TV deal, biggest obviously in sports.
What does it say about the strength of the NBA.
I think everyone always likes to complain about it, but
at the end of the end of the day, the
business of the NBA has never been as strong as
it is now.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, man, I think.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
With all the gambling sites and all this other stuff
and and just you know, just like you said already,
the TV deal, man, it's after man, so and that's
why these guys are able to pay these guys all
this money, the way they pay these guys nowadays, because
of the TV ratings and.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
The way it's out the roof.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Man.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
But I don't have a problem with it, but I
wish the motherfuckers would give old Max a little something
out of that motherfucky five.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh God, damn Max, what kind of deal could you
have got today? Don't don't, don't be a deal for
give me a five year that Max, that Max would
have got for five years.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
They had to be in the two hundreds.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. At least at least I'm gonna
be monison Ship. I'm gonna say about one.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That would have been good enough for Max yoah.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Ship Max big Hey man, Hey, I'm I'm gone.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Nigga, that's generational wealth, that generational wealth.
Speaker 3 (18:43):

Speaker 4 (18:46):
They're gonna say, damn, this motherfucker has changed like a motherfucker.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, nigga, ain't mad. Max, don't know this motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Glad Max, Glad Max? This money? Uh shit, man.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
The West, the Western Conference, the Rockets are second in
the West. They won nine out of ten, seventh in offense,
second in defense since this stretch. Uh, this is a
young team out there. What are your thoughts on this team?
They definitely want smoke, but what is your thought on
this young Rockets team led by one of the best
minds in basketball.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Email you Doka, Oh, man, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
What you Doka is doing over there.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Man.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
He's a he's a real good coach, man.
Speaker 4 (19:27):

over there. Who's with the young guy over there coaching now?
But I mean the Rockets, man, those guys man, they.
Speaker 3 (19:37):

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I was going to ask you they need a solidified vet.

over there. Man. I mean I mean once they need
a real true score. I mean, a guy's gonna get
double team night in and night out. I mean because,

Shit that reminded him of my I mean shit, I
mean they got dealing crazy ass over there being dealing,
you know, I mean dealing the villain I call him so,
I mean so, and they got a lot of guys
loves compete. The Thompson guy, that one of that twin
guy here, I mean, he's crazy, but he's a crazy,
he's a beast. And uh then they got Tory coming
(20:36):
off the bench and they just got to I mean,
I love their team, but they just need that one piece,
and I think it need a guy like KD.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Like a guy like I mean, I think that's a
perfect you know, you see we talked about it last
week on the show with Kd's body language and kind
of just the frustration that I think, you know, obviously
losing causes, but also I think he got a little
frustrated we got about getting thrown, you know, in the
mix of the trade that line without giving giving the
heads up. But if you take KD and put him
(21:04):
off on this Houston team, I mean you that that's
a championship contender off the rip because for every reason
that you named, all the pieces that they have surrounding him,
a young, hungry team bench.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Everything, they got guys from up the bench compete. I
mean it's I love the Rockets team. I mean, I mean,
so I.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Think they could make they can they can do a
little bit better with some of the pieces they got.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
They got a lot of pieces they can get, do
some trading a little bit, just summering and and get
some more better pieces, you know. But I mean, I
like the direction they're going in and Ship. I love
what the Rockets are doing.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That's my squad, right So Max, you know, and and
Vent and have been to the finals and been to
the top of the mountain. We we know normally, come
playoff time, experience matters, and although the Rockets are young,
they're sitting at the top of a tough Western Conference,
but we know, come playoff time, it's a it's a
different type of game.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Do you see.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It's two part question. Obviously, okc is is a young
team too. They've had their ups and downs in the playoffs,
and this could possibly be the year they come out.
Are you betting on those two younger teams at the top.
Are you still looking more at those veteran teams, the Warriors,
the Lakers possibly Denver if they can get their act
together this this home stretcher, or do you think this
could be the year that one of the younger teams
(22:17):
represent the Western Conference?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
I just think this year, man, I mean, okay, see man,
them young boys.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Them boys playing tough, man.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I mean, I mean they're undersized a lot when they
sometimes when they playing out there where they have both
of the seven pulls off the floor. Now they start
to staging them now. But yeah, but I like, okay,
see man, because Shay Gilchris Man, I'm a motherfucking man.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
That's a fucking problem. That's a fucking real problem out jaed.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
That's I mean, shit, man, I mean, off night is
twenty six like last night of the Cruiser in the
first quarter, like I'm gonna let the smart folks get
off and shit they just I mean, but I mean
that's smart.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Fuck he's he's he's on another plane.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
It.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
But I just think in seven games series, I think
it'll be tough, you know, I mean for anybody to
beat them. But that's why I like in the West man.
But I mean, I mean, I just those guys. I
like the way those young guys play. They compete hard, man,
and then and then they got you the two bigs,
(23:20):
you know what I mean, you know Homeroom and another
big guy, you know, Hartenstein. So I mean both of
those guys well, so.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I mean I like the team.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I like them, but I mean Denver, you know, they're scary, Yes,
Denmer in the seven game series with them would be scary, man.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I mean Denver winning there and beat them like a
couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
So you know, and I think they was trying to
send them motherfucker and let them motherfuckers.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Know all right now, y'all better be ready when the
ship happens.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
And then then the Lakers will be scary too, you know,
with both of those motherfuckers, with Luca and Lebron, you know,
and then the way they've been playing deepense, they've been
playing around. I mean, guys been making shot. So Lady's
gonna be tough to on a seven game series because
just the fact that you have Lebron and.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Luca and Luca. Yeah, no, I agree. I think this
could be the year that Oklahoma City is on their
shit and represents the West.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
But it also could be a year that.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
They get knocked out or you know, beat in the
second round and have to lick their wounds because you know,
once they arrived, they're going to be there for a
three or four year run, and it could very well
start transitioning into college. The transfer portal. I want to
talk about this, and I also want to talk about
a little bit about the age thing, because we both
have You have a son that was in high school
(24:38):
last year that's in junior college now, and I have
sons coming down the pipeline. So don't let me forget that.
But the transfer portal is open in the middle of
March Madness and JJ Watt, former NFL great tweeted the
NCAA transfer portal opening before March Madness ends, same as
the football portal opening before Bold season ends, is prepostero.
(25:00):
That's a big word, literally, cannibizing your own sport. Imagine
NFL free agencies starting the Monday after wild Card weekend. Obviously,
this portal nil collectives all this shit that people were
screaming for, and I was one of them screaming for
athletes need to be paid. All this stuff is kind
(25:21):
of materialized in the last handful of years, and it
really really seems like the wild wild West. But let's
address one of these at a time.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
The portal.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
The portal is an absolute mess. Thousands and thousands upon
thousands of kids in there for only maybe two hundred
two hundred and twenty schools, so only so many different opportunities.
But the thought that it's open while the biggest part
of your season is happening. What is your thoughts on that?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Max?
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Oh, Man, that's portal. Shit is crazy, man, But I
mean I get it, you know. I mean, I mean
we've been on this for a long time. Athletes get
paid college I mean, but I mean I just think
they just got a shit's out of control. I mean,
you got I mean, it's just how she got twenty
seven year old motherfuckers and shit. And I heard Bruce
(26:16):
now I here Bruce Pearl and shit say the other day, like, man,
he's trying to talk to this kid back coming back
into school, and his kid's already twenty six years old.
He's really trying to talk this motherfucker in the coming
back to school and he's twenty six years he's gonna
be twenty eleven.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Man, who does this shit? Man, what are we talking about? Man? This?
I mean, they got to have an age limit on
this ship. I don't care about paying these pay the kids,
pay the kids.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Whoever pay who's supposed to get paid, do that, do
all that.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
But man, you got to put an age limit on
this shit. Man. You got a fucking.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Twenty seven, twenty six year old man playing against a
fucking nineteen eighteen year old kid.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Man. I mean, oh man, that's all I'm saying. Man,
you gotta they gotta put an age limit on this ship. Now.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Like I mean, back in the day when I was
graduating not a car I went four years at the
University of Florida. Okay, okay, and motherfucker was doing that.
Back then, it wasn't nobody really coming at one.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
That was the norm. Yeah, that was the norm.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yep, yeah, so so and goddamn I was twenty two.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
You know when I went to them, I was twenty two.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
God damn.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I mean, what age limit. We're like, we're gonna let
nw it's gonna go to twenty seven this ship. This
kids ain't got a goddamn chance.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Man.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I definitely think that there has to be some sort
of age limit set. I mean, I think seventeen some
guys are coming in at seventeen a little bit younger,
but twenty three. I think twenty four has to kind
of be the cap. I mean, I think if you're eighteen,
that gives you two extra years. If you have four
eighteen to twenty two is four years injury, red shirt whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Since you would give maybe two extras.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
But I think after anything after twenty four and I'm
all for everyone trying to get education, and that's what
some because when I discussed this, oh that you can't
tell who and who can't get it. If you're trying
to get education, that's great. Just get off, get out
the way of the sports side of things. But again
I don't blame the kids or the coaches, because this
is what it is like. Coaches are playing, you know,
(28:15):
getting kids for their job like this, Their jobs depend
on these older kids. And we know how big of
a difference an eighteen year old body to a twenty
two year old body, to a twenty four year old body,
to your coming into your man, your prime at twenty six,
twenty seven, twenty eight as an actual man. So to
think about that playing against you know, kids that are seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
it just doesn't really make sense to me. And again
(28:38):
I think, you know, the transfer portal is crazy, and
I'm all four kids getting money, but I just think
they have to somehow find some regulations, whether there's a
there's a there's a sit out period like there used
to be. Remember if you used to transfer years, used
to have to sit out for a year. Yeah, there
has to be some sort of some kind of regulations
or ordinance, or there has to just be someone has
(28:59):
to bang the gavel and put some ship because this
is it's just absolutely fucking crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
His out of control. Man, it's so out of control. Man,
I just I fucked that. Damn. I man, my kid
just got schooled that ship. But it's okay, Yeah, we're good,
We're still work hard.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
But let's talk about that because again, I have kids
that are sophomores that you know, just just turned sixteen,
and you know they're trying to make.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Their way and grinding every day.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
And then again, you had a son who was a
senior last year right in high school and you know,
put great numbers, two time state champion, played with the
kid over it.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
What's the kid of duke that he or he played
with the kid of duke?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Right, Yeah, and your son was right in the mix.
But just all these he's a smaller guard and all
these older, bigger guys are are are you know, are
taking up jobs?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah? And I get it, And like I said, once again,
I get it.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
I mean, I mean, but shit, my man, he's six four,
but he was said he was six four, one thirty five.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
You know, out of high school, he worked out a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
He just cain't.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
You know, he just can't gain weight like his dad.
It just I just can't gain weight, you know. And
he got my you know DNA. This motherfucker just can't
gain But he's gotten bigger. But he went. He had it.
You know, we had and I ain't complaining.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I know a lot of you motherfucker's finna get in
my dim not this motherfucker shit. Oh match, you should have.
You should have got him ready. He just wasn't ready
and Max all this bullshit. So I was getting ready
for that bullshit too. Okay, but back to the story.
But no, man, my man was he was two times.
I mean we he state champion at North Back High
(30:33):
School out of Charlotte. I mean him and I said,
average the average twenty one, you know, six rebounds, you know,
three steals, you know. I mean, he was a hell
of a ball player.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
But he just I mean he was. He was a
four star.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
They an four star and good man, no more, motherfucker
college basketball.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Motherfucker. You got to be.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Five star McDonald's all American. I mean, you got to
be one of those guys like that the goal.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Then take an older three star or with experience and
strength and and you know, someone who's been through that battle.
I think I was here. I was hearing some guys
talk during the tournament this weekend, and just the biggest difference.
And it's true on every level because obviously making that
jump to the NBA, where it used to be the
strength was was a lot different. Just the strength of
(31:17):
the game, the strength and the speed of the game.
Each level you go to is a lot different and
you have to really be prepared for that to be.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Able to hold your own. Man.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
So again, the n C double A, it's the best
time in college basketball is right now on the men
and women's side. But yeah, I just think this, this
portal and all this stuff is absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Man.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
So you know, hopefully something will be figured out and
you know, we can see these kids playing. This message
is brought to you by Captain Morgan, America's number one
sprice rum. The legend starts when you follow the Captain
Max speaking of Captain Morgan in the legend of the captain.
Who is the greatest leader on the floor or captain
(32:01):
you ever played with?
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Captain? Mm hmm hmmm. Damn boy, that's a good question. Man.
Oh oh man.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Probably guy when I was in college, my man, God
bless him, Ronnie Montgomery, uh was back. Huh yeah, yeah,
yeah he was. He was such a special guy, man,
and such a great teammate, and he lift everybody up.
(32:44):
And I mean, I'm just saying this because the motherfucker
he kept me under wraps, you know, because because I
knew it was hard for him. But he was the
one that if it wasn't for him, I really don't
think I would have made.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
It, you know, to the NBA because of him.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Because a lot of times he's the one I used
to you know, I could talk to it, and he'll
come and talk to me, and he's the one to
tell me, all right, match you fucking up, man, you
need to chill me.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
And you know so, but uh yeah, him, he was.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
He He that guy right there. He was the he
was all the ultimate teammate. I mean, I mean, he was,
He's past first guy. And that's how it became the
all time leading score at the university's board because of him,
because he rother. He'll have a damn wide over layup
and he'll be ten feet in front of me.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
He'll turn around and throw at me. I'm five feet behind.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
He give me and let me go dump the motherfucker.
So that's he's just a special individual, man. So Ronnie Montgomery,
that's my guy. That's who I get a buck the
flowers too.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yeah, I love it. I love it. Now.
Speaker 1 (33:49):

Speaker 1 (05:51):
We've had a lot of people on this show, and again,
you were one of the most fierce competitors out there.
We got a little taste of some stuff with you
and MJ. You got any stories with Kobe oh Man?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah, Man, Kobe Ship? Who when I hate to tell
this my fucking story.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
God bless you, Kobe Man. God damn Cob Man.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
He was.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
He was in high school his senior year. I was
with the Sixers back in I.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
He was in high school with the Sixers and and
John and Lucas bringing and the practice with us and Ship.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
So I was like, man, they got my mother forgotn't

and Ship. I'm watching him, you know, on TV, and
I'm watching him play. I'm like, he's tough. Damn.

You know, That's what I thought when he walked in.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
That motherfucker, you know, you know, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
But then so we started playing and he was playing,
and you know, and and I think it was me

but he really had my ass beat.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
He could have.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Did something, but I was glad to nigga he was
passive because I think he was just trying to feel
his way around the motherfucker. You know out there on
the court, you know you don't wanna step on. Nobody told,
especially you watch playing on TV. So this motherfucking then

Speaker 3 (08:56):

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Kind of.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Another story I literally just heard the other day. Magic

Saying hey, man, come help, come out. No, no, no,
you don't need no help. Know what you said.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
And that was like the first time you saw Buck
turned and somebody said, oh no, no, no, you said you
don't need no help because we always talked with each
other and get each other going, because we held each
other to a different standard.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Well let's get to some current NBA news. Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
This segments called Sparks or Fire, brought to you by
Row Fast Acting long Lasting Geno Davis ed Treatment. So
have you seen Brandon Jennings calling out all the players
from his own night raft lately? Yes, that seems like
some ship you might That seemed like some ship you
might do.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Max, jeff T not not anybody.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Are you gonna play jeff T?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I want to play Jeff T.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I want to play Ty Loss and I want to
play lou Will.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I like Brandon Jenner's a lot, you know, I mean
like me too. He was he was tough and they
came in the league. I like Brandon Jenny, but I
think Brandon was smoking some real good ship.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Well I thought they went on.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
I mean, I love you, Brandon, now you know I
love you boy, you know I love you so but
I don't know what they were smoking before they.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Went on, and he went on. He want to he wanted.
He went on saying, and I'll give it.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I mean, Brandon Jennings has always been when he was healthy,
He's been a killer since I since high school. He
went overseas and then came and when he got to
the league, he was ready to go and he was
rocking his first year. But I mean, Drew Holliday is
is tough. Drew Holliday is tough. Brandon was a big
time scorer. But Brandon or you know, Drew his two ways.
(14:13):
He's smart, built four tough. Uh. He also called out
some other guys though. He called out Jeff Tig, Ty Lawson,
Lou Will all them dudes.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Tigue was a killer.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Ty Lawson is still playing overseas if I'm not mistaken.
So he's ready and you know, you know sweet Lou
Lou is always ready to hoop.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
So in twenty four hours, all.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
All these dudes responding, So we may have some kind
of one on one challenge. Maybe we can get some
money together for all the smoke and have you hosted
the one on one Hey.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Hosted by Mad Max. Let's maybe maybe we didn't like that,
might need to go.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
We might need to go get ce four the sponsor
a CEE four. I got a proposition for you, guys, man,
we might need to the Mad Max C four one
on one. We'll get some money, We'll get some.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Brand.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
He said that, he said he want he called that
name we wanted.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Let's make it, Hey, b b J. You was called
you was cold, bro. But I hope you're ready because
you called us some real, some real hoopers. But I
love I love that kind of competitive spirit. I mean,
I don't know he's necessarily agree, but I mean, you know,
you gotta think that way. And you know Brand has
always been a hooper. So I'm not even mad at
the way he's thinking. But now you're gonna have to
(15:35):
back it up. He's probably not. Drew's not gonna play
him obviously. You know he's still in the league doing
the same. The guys out the league that you called out,
you got they coming. So Max is this is this
is this sparks or fire? Max is real fire or Sparks?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Oh man, I think it's fire Man. I like it.
I like it.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
It's fire fire, sir, anyone, anyone you can call out
your draft class. I don't think most people in Max's
draft class can still really move around. Max is the
Max Is Special. Max still move around like he's in
his thirties. But this motherfuckers, man.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
You hit it right on, you hit it round the head.
My knick.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
These motherfuckers, you know, these guys. I wouldn't even know
who these motherfuckers is have.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Now you know they been.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I love all your motherfuckers.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I love all your motherfuckers. Now, don't get offended, and
I'll be talking shit about old Max. Don't come in
my box with all that bullshit. I love all your
motherfuckers from the eighty eighty five. You motherfuckers doing better
than what you was doing.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
What you used to do.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Shit, do something, huh hey transitioning. The Celtics were just
purchased for a record sale for North American franchise six
point one billion. But what I wanted to discuss obviously,
congratulations to the new ownership, But the narrative that that
that you know, the ratings are down and and and
(17:05):
the NBA needs to fix this this and that. At
the end of the day, the business of the NBA
is still booming, and I don't want people and we
were someone to talk about the ratings and all that
kind of stuff. But it's big as it's ever been
on on social media. Obviously, out of every sports team
ever sold, you know this, this team just went for
(17:26):
the most. So I think this opens a lot of
doors and room for expansion.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
You know, the NBA has been talking about adding a
couple more teams. You know, they just signed that huge
ivany six billion dollar TV deal, biggest obviously in sports.
What does it say about the strength of the NBA.
I think everyone always likes to complain about it, but
at the end of the end of the day, the
business of the NBA has never been as strong as
it is now.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, man, I think.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
With all the gambling sites and all this other stuff
and and just you know, just like you said already,
the TV deal, man, it's after man, so and that's
why these guys are able to pay these guys all
this money, the way they pay these guys nowadays, because
of the TV ratings and.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
The way it's out the roof.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Man.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
But I don't have a problem with it, but I
wish the motherfuckers would give old Max a little something
out of that motherfucky five.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh God, damn Max, what kind of deal could you
have got today? Don't don't, don't be a deal for
give me a five year that Max, that Max would
have got for five years.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
They had to be in the two hundreds.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. At least at least I'm gonna
be monison Ship. I'm gonna say about one.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That would have been good enough for Max yoah.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Ship Max big Hey man, Hey, I'm I'm gone.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Nigga, that's generational wealth, that generational wealth.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I'm gonna be done. Y'all are gonna hear about me.
I'm straighten the fuck up.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
They're gonna say, damn, this motherfucker has changed like a motherfucker.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, nigga, ain't mad. Max, don't know this motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Glad Max, Glad Max? This money? Uh shit, man.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
The West, the Western Conference, the Rockets are second in
the West. They won nine out of ten, seventh in offense,
second in defense since this stretch. Uh, this is a
young team out there. What are your thoughts on this team?
They definitely want smoke, but what is your thought on
this young Rockets team led by one of the best
minds in basketball.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Email you Doka, Oh, man, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
What you Doka is doing over there.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Man.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
He's a he's a real good coach, man.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I mean he he blessed Boston by leaving the team
over there. Who's with the young guy over there coaching now?
But I mean the Rockets, man, those guys man, they.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Want some smoke. Like you said, man, they don't care
who they play. They competitive. Man.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
I just think with the Rockets, man, this summer, they
got to get somebody like like they keep saying.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
KD or you know what I mean. I was going
to ask you.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I was going to ask you they need a solidified vet.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Yeah, yeah, a real solidify, a real score type guy
over there. Man. I mean I mean once they need
a real true score. I mean, a guy's gonna get
double team night in and night out. I mean because,
I mean because on the defensive end.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
They got it. They ain't scared of it, no more fucker
by it. They scared of him. I mean, I love
they to nasty on defense.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Shit that reminded him of my I mean shit, I
mean they got dealing crazy ass over there being dealing,
you know, I mean dealing the villain I call him so,
I mean so, and they got a lot of guys
loves compete. The Thompson guy, that one of that twin
guy here, I mean, he's crazy, but he's a crazy,
he's a beast. And uh then they got Tory coming
(20:36):
off the bench and they just got to I mean,
I love their team, but they just need that one piece,
and I think it need a guy like KD.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Like a guy like I mean, I think that's a
perfect you know, you see we talked about it last
week on the show with Kd's body language and kind
of just the frustration that I think, you know, obviously
losing causes, but also I think he got a little
frustrated we got about getting thrown, you know, in the
mix of the trade that line without giving giving the
heads up. But if you take KD and put him
(21:04):
off on this Houston team, I mean you that that's
a championship contender off the rip because for every reason
that you named, all the pieces that they have surrounding him,
a young, hungry team bench.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Everything, they got guys from up the bench compete. I
mean it's I love the Rockets team. I mean, I mean,
so I.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Think they could make they can they can do a
little bit better with some of the pieces they got.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
They got a lot of pieces they can get, do
some trading a little bit, just summering and and get
some more better pieces, you know. But I mean, I
like the direction they're going in and Ship. I love
what the Rockets are doing.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That's my squad, right So Max, you know, and and
Vent and have been to the finals and been to
the top of the mountain. We we know normally, come
playoff time, experience matters, and although the Rockets are young,
they're sitting at the top of a tough Western Conference,
but we know, come playoff time, it's a it's a
different type of game.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Do you see.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It's two part question. Obviously, okc is is a young
team too. They've had their ups and downs in the playoffs,
and this could possibly be the year they come out.
Are you betting on those two younger teams at the top.
Are you still looking more at those veteran teams, the Warriors,
the Lakers possibly Denver if they can get their act
together this this home stretcher, or do you think this
could be the year that one of the younger teams
(22:17):
represent the Western Conference?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
I just think this year, man, I mean, okay, see man,
them young boys.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Them boys playing tough, man.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I mean, I mean they're undersized a lot when they
sometimes when they playing out there where they have both
of the seven pulls off the floor. Now they start
to staging them now. But yeah, but I like, okay,
see man, because Shay Gilchris Man, I'm a motherfucking man.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
That's a fucking problem. That's a fucking real problem out jaed.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
That's I mean, shit, man, I mean, off night is
twenty six like last night of the Cruiser in the
first quarter, like I'm gonna let the smart folks get
off and shit they just I mean, but I mean
that's smart.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Fuck he's he's he's on another plane.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
It.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
But I just think in seven games series, I think
it'll be tough, you know, I mean for anybody to
beat them. But that's why I like in the West man.
But I mean, I mean, I just those guys. I
like the way those young guys play. They compete hard, man,
and then and then they got you the two bigs,
(23:20):
you know what I mean, you know Homeroom and another
big guy, you know, Hartenstein. So I mean both of
those guys well, so.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I mean I like the team.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I like them, but I mean Denver, you know, they're scary, Yes,
Denmer in the seven game series with them would be scary, man.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I mean Denver winning there and beat them like a
couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
So you know, and I think they was trying to
send them motherfucker and let them motherfuckers.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Know all right now, y'all better be ready when the
ship happens.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
And then then the Lakers will be scary too, you know,
with both of those motherfuckers, with Luca and Lebron, you know,
and then the way they've been playing deepense, they've been
playing around. I mean, guys been making shot. So Lady's
gonna be tough to on a seven game series because
just the fact that you have Lebron and.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Luca and Luca. Yeah, no, I agree. I think this
could be the year that Oklahoma City is on their
shit and represents the West.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
But it also could be a year that.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
They get knocked out or you know, beat in the
second round and have to lick their wounds because you know,
once they arrived, they're going to be there for a
three or four year run, and it could very well
start transitioning into college. The transfer portal. I want to
talk about this, and I also want to talk about
a little bit about the age thing, because we both
have You have a son that was in high school
(24:38):
last year that's in junior college now, and I have
sons coming down the pipeline. So don't let me forget that.
But the transfer portal is open in the middle of
March Madness and JJ Watt, former NFL great tweeted the
NCAA transfer portal opening before March Madness ends, same as
the football portal opening before Bold season ends, is prepostero.
(25:00):
That's a big word, literally, cannibizing your own sport. Imagine
NFL free agencies starting the Monday after wild Card weekend. Obviously,
this portal nil collectives all this shit that people were
screaming for, and I was one of them screaming for
athletes need to be paid. All this stuff is kind
(25:21):
of materialized in the last handful of years, and it
really really seems like the wild wild West. But let's
address one of these at a time.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
The portal.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
The portal is an absolute mess. Thousands and thousands upon
thousands of kids in there for only maybe two hundred
two hundred and twenty schools, so only so many different opportunities.
But the thought that it's open while the biggest part
of your season is happening. What is your thoughts on that?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Max?
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Oh, Man, that's portal. Shit is crazy, man, But I
mean I get it, you know. I mean, I mean
we've been on this for a long time. Athletes get
paid college I mean, but I mean I just think
they just got a shit's out of control. I mean,
you got I mean, it's just how she got twenty
seven year old motherfuckers and shit. And I heard Bruce
(26:16):
now I here Bruce Pearl and shit say the other day, like, man,
he's trying to talk to this kid back coming back
into school, and his kid's already twenty six years old.
He's really trying to talk this motherfucker in the coming
back to school and he's twenty six years he's gonna
be twenty eleven.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Man, who does this shit? Man, what are we talking about? Man? This?
I mean, they got to have an age limit on
this ship. I don't care about paying these pay the kids,
pay the kids.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Whoever pay who's supposed to get paid, do that, do
all that.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
But man, you got to put an age limit on
this shit. Man. You got a fucking.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Twenty seven, twenty six year old man playing against a
fucking nineteen eighteen year old kid.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Man. I mean, oh man, that's all I'm saying. Man,
you gotta they gotta put an age limit on this ship. Now.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Like I mean, back in the day when I was
graduating not a car I went four years at the
University of Florida. Okay, okay, and motherfucker was doing that.
Back then, it wasn't nobody really coming at one.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
That was the norm. Yeah, that was the norm.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yep, yeah, so so and goddamn I was twenty two.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
You know when I went to them, I was twenty two.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
God damn.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I mean, what age limit. We're like, we're gonna let
nw it's gonna go to twenty seven this ship. This
kids ain't got a goddamn chance.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Man.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I definitely think that there has to be some sort
of age limit set. I mean, I think seventeen some
guys are coming in at seventeen a little bit younger,
but twenty three. I think twenty four has to kind
of be the cap. I mean, I think if you're eighteen,
that gives you two extra years. If you have four
eighteen to twenty two is four years injury, red shirt whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Since you would give maybe two extras.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
But I think after anything after twenty four and I'm
all for everyone trying to get education, and that's what
some because when I discussed this, oh that you can't
tell who and who can't get it. If you're trying
to get education, that's great. Just get off, get out
the way of the sports side of things. But again
I don't blame the kids or the coaches, because this
is what it is like. Coaches are playing, you know,
(28:15):
getting kids for their job like this, Their jobs depend
on these older kids. And we know how big of
a difference an eighteen year old body to a twenty
two year old body, to a twenty four year old body,
to your coming into your man, your prime at twenty six,
twenty seven, twenty eight as an actual man. So to
think about that playing against you know, kids that are seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
it just doesn't really make sense to me. And again
(28:38):
I think, you know, the transfer portal is crazy, and
I'm all four kids getting money, but I just think
they have to somehow find some regulations, whether there's a
there's a there's a sit out period like there used
to be. Remember if you used to transfer years, used
to have to sit out for a year. Yeah, there
has to be some sort of some kind of regulations
or ordinance, or there has to just be someone has
(28:59):
to bang the gavel and put some ship because this
is it's just absolutely fucking crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
His out of control. Man, it's so out of control. Man,
I just I fucked that. Damn. I man, my kid
just got schooled that ship. But it's okay, Yeah, we're good,
We're still work hard.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
But let's talk about that because again, I have kids
that are sophomores that you know, just just turned sixteen,
and you know they're trying to make.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Their way and grinding every day.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
And then again, you had a son who was a
senior last year right in high school and you know,
put great numbers, two time state champion, played with the
kid over it.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
What's the kid of duke that he or he played
with the kid of duke?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Right, Yeah, and your son was right in the mix.
But just all these he's a smaller guard and all
these older, bigger guys are are are you know, are
taking up jobs?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah? And I get it, And like I said, once again,
I get it.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
I mean, I mean, but shit, my man, he's six four,
but he was said he was six four, one thirty five.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
You know, out of high school, he worked out a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
He just cain't.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
You know, he just can't gain weight like his dad.
It just I just can't gain weight, you know. And
he got my you know DNA. This motherfucker just can't
gain But he's gotten bigger. But he went. He had it.
You know, we had and I ain't complaining.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I know a lot of you motherfucker's finna get in
my dim not this motherfucker shit. Oh match, you should have.
You should have got him ready. He just wasn't ready
and Max all this bullshit. So I was getting ready
for that bullshit too. Okay, but back to the story.
But no, man, my man was he was two times.
I mean we he state champion at North Back High
(30:33):
School out of Charlotte. I mean him and I said,
average the average twenty one, you know, six rebounds, you know,
three steals, you know. I mean, he was a hell
of a ball player.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
But he just I mean he was. He was a
four star.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
They an four star and good man, no more, motherfucker
college basketball.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Motherfucker. You got to be.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Five star McDonald's all American. I mean, you got to
be one of those guys like that the goal.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Then take an older three star or with experience and
strength and and you know, someone who's been through that battle.
I think I was here. I was hearing some guys
talk during the tournament this weekend, and just the biggest difference.
And it's true on every level because obviously making that
jump to the NBA, where it used to be the
strength was was a lot different. Just the strength of
(31:17):
the game, the strength and the speed of the game.
Each level you go to is a lot different and
you have to really be prepared for that to be.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Able to hold your own. Man.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
So again, the n C double A, it's the best
time in college basketball is right now on the men
and women's side. But yeah, I just think this, this
portal and all this stuff is absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Man.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
So you know, hopefully something will be figured out and
you know, we can see these kids playing. This message
is brought to you by Captain Morgan, America's number one
sprice rum. The legend starts when you follow the Captain
Max speaking of Captain Morgan in the legend of the captain.
Who is the greatest leader on the floor or captain
(32:01):
you ever played with?
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Captain? Mm hmm hmmm. Damn boy, that's a good question. Man.
Oh oh man.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Probably guy when I was in college, my man, God
bless him, Ronnie Montgomery, uh was back. Huh yeah, yeah,
yeah he was. He was such a special guy, man,
and such a great teammate, and he lift everybody up.
(32:44):
And I mean, I'm just saying this because the motherfucker
he kept me under wraps, you know, because because I
knew it was hard for him. But he was the
one that if it wasn't for him, I really don't
think I would have made.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
It, you know, to the NBA because of him.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Because a lot of times he's the one I used
to you know, I could talk to it, and he'll
come and talk to me, and he's the one to
tell me, all right, match you fucking up, man, you
need to chill me.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
And you know so, but uh yeah, him, he was.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
He He that guy right there. He was the he
was all the ultimate teammate. I mean, I mean, he was,
He's past first guy. And that's how it became the
all time leading score at the university's board because of him,
because he rother. He'll have a damn wide over layup
and he'll be ten feet in front of me.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
He'll turn around and throw at me. I'm five feet behind.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
He give me and let me go dump the motherfucker.
So that's he's just a special individual, man. So Ronnie Montgomery,
that's my guy. That's who I get a buck the
flowers too.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yeah, I love it. I love it. Now.
