Speaker 1 (01:34):
That was that was the thing of beauty. I feel
really bad for Moses Moody man. Moses put on for us.
I costed Moses skills awful skills up, bro, I feel awful.
I practice switch you next time. The first got away
(01:57):
from it because I had been going through it, boy,

Speaker 2 (03:03):
That was dope.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah but yeah, man, So you know, I'm just moving on.
Get back to the start of this season.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I know the season season back in Man playoffs now
is playoff fever. Y'all got the first winning for the Kigs.
You guarantee the championship. Yeah, it was a nice blowout.
Everybody came out, you know, you play well, State, Steph
came out bullying, you know, Moses, Buddy shooting the ball.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Well. You know, how did they feel.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
To pick up where y'all left off heading into an
All Star weekend?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
It was great because I think, you know, with the
exception of that Dallas game, we have been playing really
well last four or five games, and you know, uh,
with the exception of that Dollars game, everything was good.
And you know, going into the All Star break, to
go get that win a Houston was big. And then
(03:57):
to come out of All star breaking role like that. Again,
it's a Kings team who you know, we've had our
back and forth over the last few years, and just
to go in there and get that win like that
with everybody playing well, complete team win.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
How you feel about that? Guarantee you on that.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I believe that we got the pieces to do it.
And like I said, I know what that look and
feel like you know what I'm saying. So it's a
lot of people like, oh man, how he gonna say
that that ain't done it?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
What d they say? How you gonna talk about how
to do it? They never did it?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Like you got all these people out here talking about
what I said, how I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But you did it before and over over and over
and over, and I know where to look and feel
like I have one thousand percent wholeheartedly stand all ten
toes down on everything I said.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
We winning that, and I look forward to all the
people that running duck and high and then not even
acknowledge that.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yo, this man said this one.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
They were the thing about me BD is I talked
shit when we down twenty. I don't really necessarily talk
when we're up twenty. I talk when we're down twenty
now unless you've been like barking. Of course, I'm talking
when we're up twenty, but I talk when we down twenty, right,
That's what I like to talk.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You know what I'm saying. So when you're the underdog,
we're twenty eight and twenty seven. I said what I said.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I ain't saying you know, when when when everybody else
get the clear picture? I said that when we was
twenty eight and twenty seven, and I meant it, and
I stand on it, And so I'm looking forward to
letting that play out. HOLLI may, but I'm excited as
hell about this team.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, man, I'm excited too, because you know, in our
little group chats with the hummies, I keep telling them,
y'all got a different identity.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And you know, even in the King's.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Game, you can see just the way Steph, the way
Steph playing is different, the way Jimmy playing is that
everybody is taking the game to another level. And you
look at Pie, you look at Moses, you look at Buddy,
look at all these dudes. Now now they can be
comfortable in they skin right, and they don't have to
(06:06):
do more than what they have been asked all year.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Now they can get back to being, you know, super dynamic.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I even saw a video where Jimmy is drawing up
a player and he's describing something to you and Pod.
You know, like what was y'all cooking up? But just
to see that chemistry, like walk me through that moment, man, you.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Know, those moments are great.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I told y'all, Jimmy is an over communicator, you know
what I'm saying, Like he Jimmy gonna come to you
before something ever happened, like if this happened, we're gonna
do this, and I'll be honest with you. I see
how people can get tired of Jimmy because if you're
not a basketball here, like if you don't love this
shit and you over communicate like Jimmy, not every tea,
(06:49):
I mean not every iron cross, every tea, losers will
get frustrated with that.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
You know what I'm saying, Like if you.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Don't, if you don't love, eat, breathe this shit and
more importantly winning, you can get frustrated with that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
So I can see in two weeks to three.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Weeks, whatever it's been, how someone can get frustrated with Jimmy. Yep,
because most people aren't winners. And so the things that
he's doing, like when I tell you to me, it's
music to my ears to talk basketball with somebody that
know the basketball game like Jimmy, and listen and learn,
(07:26):
you know, from somebody who know the game like Jimmy,
it's music to my ears.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Him over communicating the way he does.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But like I said, for somebody who got one foot in,
one foot out that don't really love it, because let's
face it, that's seventy percent of the league like that
don't really love it, don't really care whether they win
or they lose.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I can see how you get shell shocked and be
afraid of that.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
In that moment, Jimmy is drawing up showing to display
like because obviously with our team, a lot of denials,
you know what I'm saying, there's a lot of traps
trying to take stuff out the game, and all these things.
He was showing us a different way to run a set,
to open up some like, to get him in a
certain position that's going.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
To open it up.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
He like, So if they take it away this way,
if you just come out this side and do that,
that's gonna put this guy here.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And I got him sealed. You know what I'm saying,
It's just different.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Stuff like that that Jimmy, Man, he dialed in on it,
and like he's such a crazy target.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I threw a terrible pass high as hell yesterday.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Goes back like this to get it, body going opposit away,
he goes body going this way.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
He go back.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I'll go back this way, get the ball, comes down
with a full strat turn around Jay over tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Like he just such an incredible target. Man.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
But no, Jimmy is he a leader and he knows
his stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Man, so he teaching and everybody know he knows stuff,
you know what I'm saying. So, like I said, this
isn't a situation.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Where he gotta come come somewhere, earn respect, to earn
a voice. Like no, No, we all know who Jimmy
Butler is.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
And so you walk in, you walk through that door.
I respect it given.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And he coaching guys up and he teaches, and I'm
enjoying learning from him, you know what I'm saying, Just
different things and how he see the game.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And because it can only help me be better, you
know what I'm saying. Obviously it's helping our team be better.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Before we die more into this episode. Wanted to let
y'all know what me and my dog covering the MBD
got a couple of questions about Oscar big Old.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh yeah, for sure, I do. I know everybody wants
to talk about what the superstars.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Into the potential one on one contest weekend and doesn't
matter who the next face of the league is. It
does matter, but we'll get into that. But before we do,
don't forget the script. Subscribe to make sure you catch
all the episodes. Don't miss nothing.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Also, I will tell y'all who I think my five
most dangerous teams to watch for the rest of the season,
all of the show on all social media platforms at
Draymond's Show, so you don't miss none of these great announcements.
Now let's get into it. Well out of Draymond said
so much. You know, who cares what Draymond says? It
doesn't mean anything. You know, people, this is what I mean.
(10:16):
You know, I mean if one guy can say this,
and one guy can say that the game is the
game is what it is. People either like the game
or they don't. And I think people enjoy the game,
especially if their team can win. And you look at
the basketball, it might be boring him because if he's
not past the ball of carrier, what is he doing?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You're great.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I mean, I'm not to single that out because I
think he knows how to play basketball, but he's passed
his ball to carry more than anyone ever ever seen
than basketball, and so it means a lot. So you know,
it might be boring to him at times because what
he's doing, maybe it is born. When he's out there,
you're not getting, you're not shooting, you're not shooting a lot,
and he's not guarding a lot, so it's boring.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I thought those comments were very interested.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
The Big Old is eighty six years old. So if
you think I'm going to come on here and disrespect
because there was disrespect.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
On that ain't how I roll. Now.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I'm never going to disrespect one of the pioneers of
the game because he shared that opinion. Because, quite frankly,
being great at something when it's skill involved doesn't necessarily
mean the knowledge matches the greatness of that skill. And
(11:36):
I think in basketball that's oftentimes misconstrued, where you see
a guy with great skill and you're like, yo, that
guy got great skill in turn. You give that guy
respect because of the skill, but the knowledge ain't really there,
and so that happens all the.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Time in what we do that's not here nor there.
What I do know is I know this game is
good as.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Most I know this game through and through and feel
like I can sit at the table with anyone and
talk this game. So I know I'm stellar in that department.
So I have no problems there. It was when speaking
of a big O though, because I'm gonna really speak
about the big O. As I said the eighty six
(12:26):
years old. If you think disrespect is coming, no chance.
We want to enjoy our last year as we got
with our pioneers. The time we do have left with them,
We're gonna enjoy that. So you know, I'm gonna enjoy
these last years and what He's done for this game.
When you talk about player free agency, man moves the
(12:48):
Goal Fouler lawsuit that ran over the course of four
to five years that he won. That is one of
the main reasons players salaries went up, So I thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That is one of the main reasons can move around.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The free agency. I have not moved around in free agency.
I haven't taken advantage of that. But I thank you
because that is something that has helped this league, my counterparts, myself,
so we thank you. You know, when we start talking
about knowing the game and how you think the game,
I'm not sure what idiot wouldn't want to pass Steph
(13:23):
Curry the ball when he's the greatest shooter.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Of all times.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I don't really take that personal. Certain games, I'm gonna
look form even more than your accustomed to me looking formed,
because why wouldn't I It opens up things for everyone else.
Steph Curry is obviously Steph Curry. He's really him, you
know what I'm saying, And so quite honestly, big old
I get a lot of pleasure out of passing the ball.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I actually find a rhythm through passing. I enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Always been that way my whole life, even at the
time of my life when I was predominantly a scorer,
because you know, we all was that at some point
in our careers.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So I always been the past first guy. Just how
I played the game.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
For a guy that averaged eleven assists, you were also
passing the ball. You cannot quite average eleven assists and
not pass the ball. In the year that Big Old
one championship when he was starting to age. You were
passing the ball to Korea. I'm doing jabbar himself. Not
(14:28):
quite sure where that did come from. I was also
extremely surprised bed because during the skills challenge that I blew,
I saw him on the sideline and I got up
on my seat.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I went and say hello, and he's like, man, you
still they're doing it? Keep on going. Love watching you play, man,
I just love watching you play. You keep going. And
so to hear him say that, and then the next
morning he completely flip and go opposite. I was a
little surprised by it, I must say, because it wasn't
quite that same energy when I saw him. By the way,
(15:03):
if he told me right in my face, like hey,
we don't care what you say. You you just passed
Steph Curry, I'll be like, all right, big respect, that's
your opinion. Quite honestly, at eighty six, I'm pretty.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Sure Big O and watching many our games, Bigga go
sound asleep by the time we play at night, Like.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
He sound asleep, Bro, you gotta stop. There's a zero percent, ya,
Big Old. Don't we love me, Big No, we love
know for sure. In there.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
It was a hot take, and you've got to think
about it sometimes you gotta think about it, like, you know, we.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
All in church here what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
We see people in church, right, you know you're going
to act a certain way when you get out of church.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That's where you go get hot, you know. And it
was just a hot take, man, it was a very
hot take. He said, I ain't guard nobody. That's how
I know Big O ain't watching the game. He said,
I ain't guard nobody.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Bigg O can't be watching the game. Lastly, BD, check
this out.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Big O is a corner stone.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Is a one time NBA Champion, one time NBA Most
Valuable Player, twelve time NBA All Star, and if I'm
not mistaken, I think he played twelve seasons, three time
All Star m v P, nine time First Team NBA,
two times second team NBA Rookie of the Year, six
time Assistant Leader.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Come on, that's the same. That's the saor Dicon. Listen,
that's the yes he is.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
And he got the respect from me, which is out
why I ain't crushing him. How I will crush somebody else.
I ain't gonna crush big Oh. He got the I
got my respect. Nonetheless, I ain't trying to make myself
out to be bigger, old, none of that.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
But I'm gonna tell you last thing I'm gonna say
about big O b D.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He got upset at me if he actually read my comments.
It was talking about the game is boring, and it
was talking about the game is boring because I actually
said that. We played the Lakers maybe a week or
two ago, and when we played there, it was a
chess match with Brin, Like every play you're trying to
figure something else out. And that's how the game used
(17:19):
to be when I came in, and I love that.
But now there's no vets in the NBA no more.
They got rid of all the vets, so you don't
play those chess matches no more. The reality is sometimes
it's just who can hit the most shots at a
certain time.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
We lost to Utah.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
We lost the Utah couple a week or two, a
week before break or whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We were sixteen point. They scored twenty points. Look, Utah
is the worst.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Team in the league, I think by record, If not
by record, they're close to it by record, right, Like,
they scored twenty points in three minutes and we didn't
play bad defense. They scored. Tweet that is the new NBA.
Our commissioner. Everybody get mad at me, like I said
something crazy. Our commissitioner two months ago just was talking
about correcting the three point problem, right like I'm working
(18:06):
on correcting the three point issue. Our commissioner said that
to me, that was along those same lines, because that's
a law on what I was saying, right like, you
don't get to think in the game anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So I was really surprised.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
And how I know Big o'b sleep watching the game,
don't not watching the games, because he also just heard
somebody say Draymond said the games moore and didn't have
any context, because if he had context, I'm more so
actually applauding the way that it used to be some
actually applauding him in his error more is anything. And
(18:40):
so you know, I just tell Big go make sure
or whoever you know keeping him up to date on
his things is actually keep giving him context because you know,
big old Big on eighty six, man, we love.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Another moment during the All Star weekend, Charles Barkley play
your generation of basketball for messing up the All Star
Game quote. I'm going to disagree with Draymond a lot.
They messed the game up. His generation messed the game up.
(20:38):
We're doing every type of trick to make the weekend excited.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
What are your thoughts? So what check is talking about?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I think doing every type of trick is the problem,
which was my point that we're doing every trick. But
this is about a basketball game, and basketball game is
simply what a basketball game because we play at thirty two,
it's basketball on a three hour telecast. But it was
(21:05):
supposed to be a basketball game. And so my world is, actually,
let's just play a basketball game. Let's make this East
versus West and maybe make that mean something. You know
what I'm saying like, hey, can we get back to that,
then you make that mean something, right, But I also
think like the basketball is so much more nuanced today
than it was twenty years ago. That is, with anything
(21:28):
that develops over the course of twenty years, right, there's
going to be more nuanced because you just learn more, right,
Like coaches get smarter, players get trickier, defensive adjustments get
like all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It grows.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
And so in saying that, people want to see an
incredible basketball game, but there's no real practice to practice
for the fans. You should have, of course, shots, you
should lay ups. You have to put guys in position
to approach this like they approach real games. In turn,
you may have to extend the All Star break because
you can't punish those guys for being All Stars and
(22:05):
they don't get a break. But at the same time,
you probably need a couple days in real practice. If
you want a real game, you need guys getting ready
for the game like they get ready to prepare for
a real game, shooting times, all of this. You don't
get all of that stuff before an All Star game.
You take pictures, you know what I'm saying. So it's
(22:26):
you do start lineups it's all a show. But then
you want premier operating systems, that is players, You want
premier operating systems operating at their highest capability, and you
just booted up the processor, don't.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I don't even think it's that, Mike. You just want
people to play defense.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Everybody saying uh, they saying all kind of shit. All
it is is a commitment to playing some type of
defense and to stop a basket like where. But it's
also if everybody is an offensive player, right it's in
the All Star Game, then you're not gonna have a
(23:10):
real game because everybody it's a showcase.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
They just gonna dunk, you know what I mean. And
they're gonna dunk.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
There's gonna be threes, it's gonna be half course shots,
and nobody's gonna play defense. When are you gonna reward
the defensive guys, the guys who hold down the fort
because they gonna come into the All Star Game playing
defense if they play. If people play a little bit
of defense, then you can't help but get competitive if
(23:37):
you're playing defense.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I agree with that, but I also think that is
also part of preparation, Like what is the preparation for
the game, Like if I haven't prepared for a game,
guess what I'm gonna do. Bed, I'm gonna take a
few shots. Like guys, like you're gonna take some shots,
you go, but you ain't about to sit down and
move and like you ain't doing all of that. But
offense is it's up to you, right, Like you're dictating
(24:01):
where you're trying to get where you're trying to go.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That's a different thing. Yeah, but it's like they don't
you just gotta take it personal? Right? What's to take personal?
Steph versus Kyrie? That ain't personal enough for you?
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Like I'm not just gonna let Steph shoot a three
on me, or if I'm Kyrie, just let uh or
if I'm Steph, let's Kyrie just shoot a three. I
want to see it, like if they take a little
bit of challenge, like you know what, you're not scoring
on me, whether it's Joker or Winby, Like, yo, I'm
not I'm not letting him score on me.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
That's the personal in the instagram. Brother, Don't nobody want
to get it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Nobody want to get embarrassed during the instagram.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
You know what, it ain't gonna be no one on one.
I agree, it ain't gonna be no one on one man.
It's the best players in the world. Nobody can guard nobody.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
But at the same time, in the All Star Game,
like if Kobe, if Kobe, go me right, I'm trying
to go at Kobe.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
He not trying to let me get off.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
All the casuals on Instagram that's sitting sit behind their
computers and talk jump about people that's talking about, oh
we want to see a great game. Well, your nasty
habits on Instagram has ruined it because no one wants
to get embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
So for everybody go out there and be cool and yeah,
it is what it is. It's just a defense. I
think it's just a defensive challenge.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Since guaranteeing the chip, the comments in the media have
y'all viewed as underdogs. You've been an underdog, You've been
the lead dog within the four championships.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Which one is better for you? Underdog?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Everybody calling you out, that's always better. I've been an
underdog my whole life, Like that was my story coming up.
When you win as an underdog with people telling you
you can, you know when everybody jump on the bandwagon,
Oh they gonna win it's like yeah, like get out
out of here, like hey, band wagoners. But when you
ain't got nobody on the bandwagon that you go win
(26:07):
Allow twenty fifteen, Allow twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
When you go do that them the phone ones, this is.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
When you're like, oh, man, like wow, like shut out,
Like that's underdog for sure.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Any day.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Talk about the importance of starting the second half of
the season, Well, you know, the Warriors twenty six games left,
currently in ninth in the West. The next four games
you have the Mavericks at home, Hornets at home, Magic away,
six Ers away. Talk to the fans about how important
it is to get off to a good second back
(26:44):
end of a All Star game.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I think it's very important, especially in the place that
we're in.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You know, we let some games get away early that
we talked about that we shouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
But we are where we.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Are, and so for us, it's important to get off
to a good start because.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Every game count. We in playoff mode. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
We gotta we gotta approach these next twenty six like
the playoffs. We want to give ourselves the best position
is possible when it comes from seeding and to my
knowledge from what I've heard, I think we're only maybe
three games out of six or something like that. I
don't know that to be certain. But because I don't,
I don't follow the status. I just the way I
approached it. Win every game you can and check at
(27:24):
the end, like I think, you know, if we win
every game that we can and check out the end,
I think that'll leave us in a pretty good position.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
And so that's kind of how I approach it.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
But it's important to get off to a good start
because you got to build on that.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
And you know, you you it's you're.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You're establishing now you know, the season going waves as
you know, and now you're establishing life. And this is
the team we need to be in order to reach
our art to the goal right and you feel more
of a you know, you feel more of a sense
of urgency those last twenty six games because you can
see that light at the end of the tunnel. Man,
I don't think people understand BD how I feel. You
(28:03):
look up and they say game eleven of eighty two,
like you can't see the light at the end of
the tunnel. You can't even see the All Star break
at the at the end of the tunnel. And so
you know, twenty six games, you pass the All Star break,
you rejuvenated. Now you come back and you're like, all right,
we can see that light at the end of the tunnel.
We know what we're playing and working for. And I think,
(28:25):
you know, that's why it's important for us, you know,
to get off to a great start to these next
four Yeah, you know it's going to be going on
the road trip. I think it's also a good road
trip for us. Like it'll be a tough road trip
for sure, but I think it's some some winnable games
that we can go take and we need to make
sure we're taking care of our business and going to
do that.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I like the taking one game at a.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Time, absolutely, right, Absolutely, you can't look past nobody in
the NBA, especially these days where everybody's scoring. I told
you top gave us twenty points, put up twenty points
in third in three minutes.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah you got. You gotta grab a couple of makeup
games too, that you get that got away from you.
So you gotta make sure you win the.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Ones you supposed to win, and then you gotta grab
the one you gotta grab the games that you're not
supposed to win.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Absolutely move around the league a little bit.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
The biggest news coming out of All Star Break around
the league is Victor Winbyama will be out for the
rest of the season due to deep vein from bosis.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
In his right shoulder.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
That is blood claudie, some form of blood claudia in
his right shoulder number one. Whoever was the trainer that
figured that out to even send that for testa my
hat kudos because that's serious.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
You're talking about blood claudes and that's life threatening.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
You know other players that's going through this, Chris Bosh
this end the Chris Boss career at thirty two. Sark
Thompson h this end of this rookie season early. He
just got back maybe a month and a half two
months ago from and also some form of it. LaMarcus
Aldridge dealt with towards the end of his career which
kind of shut LA down as well. I don't know
(30:12):
if it was this exact thing, but I know some
for some form of blood clotting that slowed LA down
and ultimately forced him into retirement as well. And so
really sending sending my love and well wishes to Vic,
because that is something that like he has to be
aware of that for the rest of his career. Like
(30:32):
you know, we all hope and believe and think that
he's going to make a full recovery. But in making
a full recovery, that's blood clotting. That's what then you know,
you can't he can't necessarily get on blood thinners because
then it make you bruise easily and it doesn't allow
you to heal properly as far as basketball goes. And
so it's a tough, tricky thing, man, and it's something
(30:54):
that he could possibly deal with even once getting passing.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And so just sending our love and well wished uh
to Vic and dealing with this big prayers, Big prayers.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Sounds like there's a lot of interests, uh from players
like Kyrie James Gianni's Dang.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
KD kind of down played it, but KD love playing ones.
KD played ones every day anyway. Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
As far as the one on one tournament during the
NBA All Star weekend next year, it would be unrifled
in one.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
This year the FISA Collier won that one. Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Do you think you ultimately get the best players to participate.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
In the one on one game. I think they would
do it.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I think Giannis would win though, yeah, yeah, I think
Giannis will win.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Whoever can play defense, is it a triple limit? You can't.
You can't have a million triples with NBA players.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Now you can have five, you can you can do
three dribbles, five dribbles. Like, none of those little guards
can stop Yannis. But Gianna's got defense right, so he
can pretty much affect They shot you should get like
you should get a six second shot shot clock running down, Man, I.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Tell you five.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I was about to say six seconds. And on one
on one it's a long time reguard.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Somebody one on one NBA man, it should be catching
all five four, three two one, it should be five seconds.
It'd be dove to see, you know, Kyrie Hard and
all these dudes go at each other where you know,
incredible uh one on one players in the game itself
to do that for Hassal weekend, I'd love to see
(32:27):
something like that. Shout out to Unrival for doing it
on the feast of Colliers. She brought out the bag
right then she played defense too. If you got some
offense and defense and you're a big man.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I like I like, Yeah, it's chances.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I'm taking KD because KD can check anybody, and Kate
can score better than I like KD too. I got yeah,
I got the role. K uh Yeah, k can guard anybody.
He shoot over everybody. Polo ben Terra Paulo can play,
for sure. Polo can play. That's that's a fact. And
(33:08):
he's from Seattle. They got the ones and James Harden.
If he gets rolling, ain't nobody gonna be able to
stop him.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
That's a fact. But you just said you got to
play defense, right, But I said, if he gets ain't
yard this year, Jeff veg Honey guard this year. Yeah yeah,
he o he O.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
He's serious, He's serious, he focused, he got the Cliffers rolling.
Chris Hayes reported that SGA will represent himself for all
all court decisions. That means he's up for a three
hundred million dollar contract this summer. Enjoins Joel Embiid as
another player representing himself.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I know what you think, what do you think about
this move? Listen?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I think I saw that this can save him twelve
million dollars an age of fees.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Listen, twelve million dollars, say there's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I just would warn him be very careful of how
much money you could be costing yourself, because there's things
in the contract that great representation know. You know, great
representation knows that you should have in your contract. Now,
a lot of guys ain't never had great representation and
they don't really know the capabilities and possibilities of a
(34:26):
contract is what could be in there and what should
be in there, And so I think a lot of
people make the mistake alike, he gonna get to three
forty five or whatever number is, He gonna get that anyway,
so what doesn't matter, And the reality is it's the
fine print. You know, there's a lot of things that
goes into a contract that it's more than just the
(34:48):
dollar amount that on that one receives. So and saying that,
I think, you know, make sure that he's getting all
that he can out of that contract. That's just not
about what the end dollar amount is. She can do
that and say twelve million dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
He good, you get it.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
But you know, and I always say, I don't think
Elon Musk is reading the legal on his deals that
he do, right, you know what I'm saying, I don't
think it's gotta get a good tad.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
You know what I'm saying. I don't think uh, I
don't foresee that.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Uh Jack Dorsey read all illegal when he sold Twitter
for forty four billion Elon Musk, I personally don't think
that that's the case, and so uh me personally, I
want to find great representation like those guys do that.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
GA represent themself.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
You know, you just gotta build the right council right,
build the right counsel, build the right team, build the
right advisors, have all your checks and balances, and just
hire somebody who.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Have strategic know how.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Also on the hills of All Star Weekend, out of
all the commotion and the media, was my man ant
Man saying, I'm capable of being that guy, but I
don't want to be that guy. Many I don't want
to be the face of the league. He said, Winby
should be the face of the league. What makes someone
(36:21):
the face of the league?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Man? What makes someone the face of the league? Number One, you.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Got the game. You gotta have the game first and foremost.
You can be as you can be, as clean cut
as you want. A great The biggest steward of the
game you want to be. If you don't got the game,
the match, you cannot be the face of the NBA.
You must be generational. You must have elite ability. That
is number one. Number two, you must represent the league
(36:50):
in a positive manner, a positive light when you look
at the logo, that is what matters most. This is
a multi billion dollar corporation and how you represent that
logo on and off the basketball court matters.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
You cannot be the face of the.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
NBA if you don't win, because the NBA cannot market
you in the biggest moments. If you don't win or
have never been a winner, and so you must win.
That must happen in order for you to be the
face of the NBA. We've seen a numerous amount of
guys start getting that hype and a little push and
(37:29):
little market and push, and if they don't win, it
goes to hell because we can't market you, we can't
show you on the biggest stage. That does not work
for being the face of the NBA and saying all
of those things to hear it. Man say, I am
capable of being that guy, but I don't want to be.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I agree with him.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
He is capable of being that guy from basketball standpoint,
talent standpoint, he.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Got all of that to be that, though he.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Has to go win, he has to continue to elevate
his aim to another level, like take that next step,
and he gotta be better with his interviews off the
course stuff, how he presents himself, I think, and that's
what he when he's.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Saying I don't want to be that guy. Those things
would show that.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
But regardless of all of that, I'm and man's what
twenty three, twenty four, Uh, if you're going to be
that right now is the time that you have to
be build and that you can't start trying to be
that at twenty seven, And so my thing would just
be I hope he understands that the opportunity that's in
front of him and know that it doesn't come back
(38:39):
around like a shot out of here, and once that
shot is gone, it don't come back around.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
So I hope it is.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I hope that a man understands that, and it's not
making a decision at twenty three that at twenty seven,
twenty eight, twenty nine he's going to regret ye and
saying that I saw what Mello said, and I also
want you to try to understand something by no means
is this any disrespect.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Mello is the OG, that's my OG. Never would disrespect him.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
But I saw what Melo said publicly, so I'm going
to say this publicly and then I'm gonna hit Mello
and let him know I said this publicly because that
is my OG. Melo was talking about man. He says
some things along the lines of you don't get to
pick which he's right. But I felt like Mello was
going at a man a little bit. And when I
look back at mello career, because I was a huge
(39:28):
Mellow fan watching him while I was growing up, the
way he scored the basketball, Mello had to clean some
things up on his way through the league.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Mello had a bad rap.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Melos talked about this person publicly before when he said
the NBA is the FBI, and he said David Stern
called him into the office and start saying all these things.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
He was like, yo.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
So Mello has spoke about this publicly before, which is
why I feel comfortable publicly saying this. Melo struggled a
bit coming in early, was not on that right jectory
to become the face of the league. Had the talent,
but other things wasn't quite matching up right in order
to become that face of league. So my thing the
mellow would be and maybe he has because I know
(40:12):
Melo real one, call at Man, guide him to these things,
share your experiences with him, help him understand that you
had that opportunity too, and maybe some of the things
that you could have been doing cast you that opportunity.
If it did, I don't know for certain that it did,
but if it did, but I would just say call
(40:33):
him guy him. And the reason I say that is
because it ain't many of them guys that's like one
of the.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Ones, like you don't come around them often.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
You know what I'm saying. Melo is a steward, one
of the OG's, pioneer of Team USA basketball and it
becoming what has become at Man, it's kind of taken
over those rings. Guide him and show him what that means.
So I think that would be my only thing on it.
At Man struggling a little been in different areas this
(41:01):
year as a guy who struggled. I can't be a
guy sit up here and throw darts about that. I
know how hard it is, but I do think he's
capable of being that guy from a talent standpoint, you
know it is it does have to be something that
you want because it requires you to do so much
more than just play basketball.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
When you look at Lebro, when you look at KD
when he won the championships, right when you go through
the history of being a champion and being the man
on the championship team, you ain't got no choice. Look
at Jason Tatum Boston win it again. He's the face
of the league.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Right when Mellow was coming up little a little different,
Melo had to fight to get a face to be
one of the faces of the league because miss Kobe,
it's Dunk and it's you know, it's all kind of
legacy that precede him, you know, and so for ant Man,
there's a lot of legacy that precede him. But Melo
(42:01):
was trying to take them people out and mechelan to
try to take them out, and by him saying I
don't want to be that guy, Like to me, it's saying, well,
what do you want to be? Like how far do
you want to take it? What do you need to
take it there? Because if you don't want to be
that guy, then somebody else is going to come along
(42:23):
on this sushi boat of incredibly talented kids and say,
you know.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
What, I'll take it. I'll take it right, I'll take it,
and I'll take my.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
Game to the next level of the next level until
I win the championship. And I think that's what it's
really about, when you got somebody like him and his talent.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
I agree with that. I definitely agree with that. It's touchy, man.
Once you lose it, it's tough it. Don't boom arangue
back to you, buddy.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
Before we get out of here. Man, I got five
on it. Sorry, segment, I got five on it. This time,
BD will pick five of the most dangerous teams during
the final stretch of the NBA season. These are teams
that he feels, if they catch fire, would be a
real threat to win the NBA Championship.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Who you got, bed, All right, I'm going to my
standards list right now. I got Cleveland, I got Boston.
Then when I come over to the Western Conference, I
got Denver, I got the Clippers, and I have the
Golden State Warriors at number five. Any of those teams
get hot, and the West is gonna be problems.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
I agree in December.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
Hot right now, I'm taking Cleveland and Boston because their
pace and their style of play in the Eastern Conference,
I don't feel like any team can really keep up
with their pace and their style right their ball movement,
the way they shoot the three, the way they create
one on one mismatches, the way they play for each other,
(43:53):
the way four or five or six guys on the
team can beat you. Cleveland and Boston or are to
me the mirror images of each other. When I go
to the West and I talk about Denver, I think
Denver is starting to get back to championship pedigree. They
have some fatigue, right they missed, you know, they missed
(44:16):
the finals.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
They didn't have a great playoffs last year.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
Now with Russ, they got another force, they got another
like source of energy, Jamal Murray coming back, Eric Gordon
shooting the ball well like they have a chemistry, and
I felt like if they are somewhere around four three
or four where they can have some home court advantage
in the first couple rounds, they're gonna be dangerous. The
(44:45):
Los Angeles Clippers. The beard, the beard is all grown up.
It's a full grown beard. It's a boufont Beard, the
beard with the claw.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
You know, Norman Powell. You look at Zubac.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
The Clippers are playing defense and I think people underestimate
them on the defensive end, and then offensively, you know
with Kawhi, you know, with Zubac, the way he's playing,
with Norman Pou And then my my X factor for
the Clippers is Ben Simmons. Get Ben Simmons comfortable. Get
(45:23):
Ben Simmons playing, you know, aggressive at a high frequency.
Clippers are dangerous. And then number five, the Warriors. I
just like what this new Warrior look like, this new
Warrior energy. You know, this new Warrior team, everybody in
their roles kaminga coming back. I just feel like you
(45:47):
you now are where you were at the beginning of
the year, but you're a much better team. You're much
solid team, reliable down the stretch, getting free throws down
the stretch. Steph Curry, Ernie from three or now Buddy Hell,
you know, Moses Pod people filling in to they to
(46:08):
their natural positions with a Jimmy Butler there and Draymond
Green with Winby out with a d out. Jaymon Green
is the front runner for Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
So that gotta happen.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
That's definitely gonna happen. Now, I need to put that
together with with me going out and opened.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
It up here, open it up, let me try to
put one up.
Speaker 3 (46:33):
I want to guarantee Draymond Green is gonna be the
defensive player of the year.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
Let's put the rest of that together. Let's do it. Man. No,
that's that's fire. I like those teams.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
I think, uh, you know, each one of those teams
can definitely have a chance coming down the stretch.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
So we'll see y'all know my guarantee. That's a wrap.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
In this episode of The Draymond Green Show with My
Dog the Legend, Baron Davis bed we out Love Peace.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Uh damn, y'all.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I should have won the skills challenge. We should have
ben I blew man, I blew it. We could have
had a clean sweep. I thought Buddy was going to
three point shootout. You know, he came out hot. But
shout out to Tyler Herro, shout out to all the
people won.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Man.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
There was a lot of controversy, you know, in the
media of All Star Weekend, but for overall, you know,
the Bay had a vibe.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You know, all the Jeeves came out run TMC.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You know, even though we believe Boys was out, So
you know, it was definitely a vibe.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And shout out to the Bay Area for putting out
great weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Everybody's just out having a good time, great time like
old time.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That was that was the thing of beauty. I feel
really bad for Moses Moody man. Moses put on for us.
I costed Moses skills awful skills up, bro, I feel awful.
I practice switch you next time. The first got away
(01:57):
from it because I had been going through it, boy,
and I hadn't, like, you know, having practice stuff. I
hadn't struggled with that pass. So you know, I'm just
flowing through right, So I had never thought about, like, yo,
I lost my coup. I got rattle.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I do that first miss and I'm like, aha, I
run back. I was rattled, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I run to the next door to shoot the child
and knocked all the balls over. I was rattled at
that point, Bro, I was just like, ah, I cos mos.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Focus man. He was trying to go too fast, That's
what happened. He was trying to be cool, and you
thought Okay, I'm about to go through this like a breeze.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Man, I got a rattle. I got so ride out
of the eyes over. Oh wow, that was crazy, but
that was fun. I definitely thought Buddy was going to
uh take the three point contests. Yeah, but like you said,
shout out to Tyner Hero.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That was dope.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah but yeah, man, So you know, I'm just moving on.
Get back to the start of this season.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I know the season season back in Man playoffs now
is playoff fever. Y'all got the first winning for the Kigs.
You guarantee the championship. Yeah, it was a nice blowout.
Everybody came out, you know, you play well, State, Steph
came out bullying, you know, Moses, Buddy shooting the ball.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Well. You know, how did they feel.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
To pick up where y'all left off heading into an
All Star weekend?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
It was great because I think, you know, with the
exception of that Dallas game, we have been playing really
well last four or five games, and you know, uh,
with the exception of that Dollars game, everything was good.
And you know, going into the All Star break, to
go get that win a Houston was big. And then
(03:57):
to come out of All star breaking role like that. Again,
it's a Kings team who you know, we've had our
back and forth over the last few years, and just
to go in there and get that win like that
with everybody playing well, complete team win.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
How you feel about that? Guarantee you on that.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I believe that we got the pieces to do it.
And like I said, I know what that look and
feel like you know what I'm saying. So it's a
lot of people like, oh man, how he gonna say
that that ain't done it?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
What d they say? How you gonna talk about how
to do it? They never did it?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Like you got all these people out here talking about
what I said, how I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
But you did it before and over over and over
and over, and I know where to look and feel
like I have one thousand percent wholeheartedly stand all ten
toes down on everything I said.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
We winning that, and I look forward to all the
people that running duck and high and then not even
acknowledge that.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yo, this man said this one.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
They were the thing about me BD is I talked
shit when we down twenty. I don't really necessarily talk
when we're up twenty. I talk when we're down twenty
now unless you've been like barking. Of course, I'm talking
when we're up twenty, but I talk when we down twenty, right,
That's what I like to talk.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You know what I'm saying. So when you're the underdog,
we're twenty eight and twenty seven. I said what I said.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I ain't saying you know, when when when everybody else
get the clear picture? I said that when we was
twenty eight and twenty seven, and I meant it, and
I stand on it, And so I'm looking forward to
letting that play out. HOLLI may, but I'm excited as
hell about this team.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, man, I'm excited too, because you know, in our
little group chats with the hummies, I keep telling them,
y'all got a different identity.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And you know, even in the King's.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Game, you can see just the way Steph, the way
Steph playing is different, the way Jimmy playing is that
everybody is taking the game to another level. And you
look at Pie, you look at Moses, you look at Buddy,
look at all these dudes. Now now they can be
comfortable in they skin right, and they don't have to
(06:06):
do more than what they have been asked all year.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Now they can get back to being, you know, super dynamic.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I even saw a video where Jimmy is drawing up
a player and he's describing something to you and Pod.
You know, like what was y'all cooking up? But just
to see that chemistry, like walk me through that moment, man, you.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Know, those moments are great.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I told y'all, Jimmy is an over communicator, you know
what I'm saying, Like he Jimmy gonna come to you
before something ever happened, like if this happened, we're gonna
do this, and I'll be honest with you. I see
how people can get tired of Jimmy because if you're
not a basketball here, like if you don't love this
shit and you over communicate like Jimmy, not every tea,
(06:49):
I mean not every iron cross, every tea, losers will
get frustrated with that.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
You know what I'm saying, Like if you.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Don't, if you don't love, eat, breathe this shit and
more importantly winning, you can get frustrated with that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
So I can see in two weeks to three.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Weeks, whatever it's been, how someone can get frustrated with Jimmy. Yep,
because most people aren't winners. And so the things that
he's doing, like when I tell you to me, it's
music to my ears to talk basketball with somebody that
know the basketball game like Jimmy, and listen and learn,
(07:26):
you know, from somebody who know the game like Jimmy,
it's music to my ears.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Him over communicating the way he does.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But like I said, for somebody who got one foot in,
one foot out that don't really love it, because let's
face it, that's seventy percent of the league like that
don't really love it, don't really care whether they win
or they lose.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I can see how you get shell shocked and be
afraid of that.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
In that moment, Jimmy is drawing up showing to display
like because obviously with our team, a lot of denials,
you know what I'm saying, there's a lot of traps
trying to take stuff out the game, and all these things.
He was showing us a different way to run a set,
to open up some like, to get him in a
certain position that's going.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
To open it up.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
He like, So if they take it away this way,
if you just come out this side and do that,
that's gonna put this guy here.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And I got him sealed. You know what I'm saying,
It's just different.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Stuff like that that Jimmy, Man, he dialed in on it,
and like he's such a crazy target.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I threw a terrible pass high as hell yesterday.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Goes back like this to get it, body going opposit away,
he goes body going this way.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
He go back.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I'll go back this way, get the ball, comes down
with a full strat turn around Jay over tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Like he just such an incredible target. Man.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
But no, Jimmy is he a leader and he knows
his stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Man, so he teaching and everybody know he knows stuff,
you know what I'm saying. So, like I said, this
isn't a situation.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Where he gotta come come somewhere, earn respect, to earn
a voice. Like no, No, we all know who Jimmy
Butler is.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
And so you walk in, you walk through that door.
I respect it given.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And he coaching guys up and he teaches, and I'm
enjoying learning from him, you know what I'm saying, Just
different things and how he see the game.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And because it can only help me be better, you
know what I'm saying. Obviously it's helping our team be better.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Before we die more into this episode. Wanted to let
y'all know what me and my dog covering the MBD
got a couple of questions about Oscar big Old.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh yeah, for sure, I do. I know everybody wants
to talk about what the superstars.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Into the potential one on one contest weekend and doesn't
matter who the next face of the league is. It
does matter, but we'll get into that. But before we do,
don't forget the script. Subscribe to make sure you catch
all the episodes. Don't miss nothing.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Also, I will tell y'all who I think my five
most dangerous teams to watch for the rest of the season,
all of the show on all social media platforms at
Draymond's Show, so you don't miss none of these great announcements.
Now let's get into it. Well out of Draymond said
so much. You know, who cares what Draymond says? It
doesn't mean anything. You know, people, this is what I mean.
(10:16):
You know, I mean if one guy can say this,
and one guy can say that the game is the
game is what it is. People either like the game
or they don't. And I think people enjoy the game,
especially if their team can win. And you look at
the basketball, it might be boring him because if he's
not past the ball of carrier, what is he doing?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You're great.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I mean, I'm not to single that out because I
think he knows how to play basketball, but he's passed
his ball to carry more than anyone ever ever seen
than basketball, and so it means a lot. So you know,
it might be boring to him at times because what
he's doing, maybe it is born. When he's out there,
you're not getting, you're not shooting, you're not shooting a lot,
and he's not guarding a lot, so it's boring.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I thought those comments were very interested.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
The Big Old is eighty six years old. So if
you think I'm going to come on here and disrespect
because there was disrespect.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
On that ain't how I roll. Now.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I'm never going to disrespect one of the pioneers of
the game because he shared that opinion. Because, quite frankly,
being great at something when it's skill involved doesn't necessarily
mean the knowledge matches the greatness of that skill. And
(11:36):
I think in basketball that's oftentimes misconstrued, where you see
a guy with great skill and you're like, yo, that
guy got great skill in turn. You give that guy
respect because of the skill, but the knowledge ain't really there,
and so that happens all the.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Time in what we do that's not here nor there.
What I do know is I know this game is
good as.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Most I know this game through and through and feel
like I can sit at the table with anyone and
talk this game. So I know I'm stellar in that department.
So I have no problems there. It was when speaking
of a big O though, because I'm gonna really speak
about the big O. As I said the eighty six
(12:26):
years old. If you think disrespect is coming, no chance.
We want to enjoy our last year as we got
with our pioneers. The time we do have left with them,
We're gonna enjoy that. So you know, I'm gonna enjoy
these last years and what He's done for this game.
When you talk about player free agency, man moves the
(12:48):
Goal Fouler lawsuit that ran over the course of four
to five years that he won. That is one of
the main reasons players salaries went up, So I thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That is one of the main reasons can move around.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The free agency. I have not moved around in free agency.
I haven't taken advantage of that. But I thank you
because that is something that has helped this league, my counterparts, myself,
so we thank you. You know, when we start talking
about knowing the game and how you think the game,
I'm not sure what idiot wouldn't want to pass Steph
(13:23):
Curry the ball when he's the greatest shooter.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Of all times.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I don't really take that personal. Certain games, I'm gonna
look form even more than your accustomed to me looking formed,
because why wouldn't I It opens up things for everyone else.
Steph Curry is obviously Steph Curry. He's really him, you
know what I'm saying, And so quite honestly, big old
I get a lot of pleasure out of passing the ball.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I actually find a rhythm through passing. I enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Always been that way my whole life, even at the
time of my life when I was predominantly a scorer,
because you know, we all was that at some point
in our careers.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So I always been the past first guy. Just how
I played the game.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
For a guy that averaged eleven assists, you were also
passing the ball. You cannot quite average eleven assists and
not pass the ball. In the year that Big Old
one championship when he was starting to age. You were
passing the ball to Korea. I'm doing jabbar himself. Not
(14:28):
quite sure where that did come from. I was also
extremely surprised bed because during the skills challenge that I blew,
I saw him on the sideline and I got up
on my seat.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I went and say hello, and he's like, man, you
still they're doing it? Keep on going. Love watching you play, man,
I just love watching you play. You keep going. And
so to hear him say that, and then the next
morning he completely flip and go opposite. I was a
little surprised by it, I must say, because it wasn't
quite that same energy when I saw him. By the way,
(15:03):
if he told me right in my face, like hey,
we don't care what you say. You you just passed
Steph Curry, I'll be like, all right, big respect, that's
your opinion. Quite honestly, at eighty six, I'm pretty.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Sure Big O and watching many our games, Bigga go
sound asleep by the time we play at night, Like.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
He sound asleep, Bro, you gotta stop. There's a zero percent, ya,
Big Old. Don't we love me, Big No, we love
know for sure. In there.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
It was a hot take, and you've got to think
about it sometimes you gotta think about it, like, you know, we.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
All in church here what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
We see people in church, right, you know you're going
to act a certain way when you get out of church.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That's where you go get hot, you know. And it
was just a hot take, man, it was a very
hot take. He said, I ain't guard nobody. That's how
I know Big O ain't watching the game. He said,
I ain't guard nobody.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Bigg O can't be watching the game. Lastly, BD, check
this out.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Big O is a corner stone.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Is a one time NBA Champion, one time NBA Most
Valuable Player, twelve time NBA All Star, and if I'm
not mistaken, I think he played twelve seasons, three time
All Star m v P, nine time First Team NBA,
two times second team NBA Rookie of the Year, six
time Assistant Leader.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Come on, that's the same. That's the saor Dicon. Listen,
that's the yes he is.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
And he got the respect from me, which is out
why I ain't crushing him. How I will crush somebody else.
I ain't gonna crush big Oh. He got the I
got my respect. Nonetheless, I ain't trying to make myself
out to be bigger, old, none of that.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
But I'm gonna tell you last thing I'm gonna say
about big O b D.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He got upset at me if he actually read my comments.
It was talking about the game is boring, and it
was talking about the game is boring because I actually
said that. We played the Lakers maybe a week or
two ago, and when we played there, it was a
chess match with Brin, Like every play you're trying to
figure something else out. And that's how the game used
(17:19):
to be when I came in, and I love that.
But now there's no vets in the NBA no more.
They got rid of all the vets, so you don't
play those chess matches no more. The reality is sometimes
it's just who can hit the most shots at a
certain time.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
We lost to Utah.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
We lost the Utah couple a week or two, a
week before break or whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We were sixteen point. They scored twenty points. Look, Utah
is the worst.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Team in the league, I think by record, If not
by record, they're close to it by record, right, Like,
they scored twenty points in three minutes and we didn't
play bad defense. They scored. Tweet that is the new NBA.
Our commissioner. Everybody get mad at me, like I said
something crazy. Our commissitioner two months ago just was talking
about correcting the three point problem, right like I'm working
(18:06):
on correcting the three point issue. Our commissioner said that
to me, that was along those same lines, because that's
a law on what I was saying, right like, you
don't get to think in the game anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So I was really surprised.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
And how I know Big o'b sleep watching the game,
don't not watching the games, because he also just heard
somebody say Draymond said the games moore and didn't have
any context, because if he had context, I'm more so
actually applauding the way that it used to be some
actually applauding him in his error more is anything. And
(18:40):
so you know, I just tell Big go make sure
or whoever you know keeping him up to date on
his things is actually keep giving him context because you know,
big old Big on eighty six, man, we love.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Another moment during the All Star weekend, Charles Barkley play
your generation of basketball for messing up the All Star
Game quote. I'm going to disagree with Draymond a lot.
They messed the game up. His generation messed the game up.
(20:38):
We're doing every type of trick to make the weekend excited.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
What are your thoughts? So what check is talking about?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I think doing every type of trick is the problem,
which was my point that we're doing every trick. But
this is about a basketball game, and basketball game is
simply what a basketball game because we play at thirty two,
it's basketball on a three hour telecast. But it was
(21:05):
supposed to be a basketball game. And so my world is, actually,
let's just play a basketball game. Let's make this East
versus West and maybe make that mean something. You know
what I'm saying like, hey, can we get back to that,
then you make that mean something, right, But I also
think like the basketball is so much more nuanced today
than it was twenty years ago. That is, with anything
(21:28):
that develops over the course of twenty years, right, there's
going to be more nuanced because you just learn more, right,
Like coaches get smarter, players get trickier, defensive adjustments get
like all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It grows.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
And so in saying that, people want to see an
incredible basketball game, but there's no real practice to practice
for the fans. You should have, of course, shots, you
should lay ups. You have to put guys in position
to approach this like they approach real games. In turn,
you may have to extend the All Star break because
you can't punish those guys for being All Stars and
(22:05):
they don't get a break. But at the same time,
you probably need a couple days in real practice. If
you want a real game, you need guys getting ready
for the game like they get ready to prepare for
a real game, shooting times, all of this. You don't
get all of that stuff before an All Star game.
You take pictures, you know what I'm saying. So it's
(22:26):
you do start lineups it's all a show. But then
you want premier operating systems, that is players, You want
premier operating systems operating at their highest capability, and you
just booted up the processor, don't.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I don't even think it's that, Mike. You just want
people to play defense.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Everybody saying uh, they saying all kind of shit. All
it is is a commitment to playing some type of
defense and to stop a basket like where. But it's
also if everybody is an offensive player, right it's in
the All Star Game, then you're not gonna have a
(23:10):
real game because everybody it's a showcase.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
They just gonna dunk, you know what I mean. And
they're gonna dunk.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
There's gonna be threes, it's gonna be half course shots,
and nobody's gonna play defense. When are you gonna reward
the defensive guys, the guys who hold down the fort
because they gonna come into the All Star Game playing
defense if they play. If people play a little bit
of defense, then you can't help but get competitive if
(23:37):
you're playing defense.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I agree with that, but I also think that is
also part of preparation, Like what is the preparation for
the game, Like if I haven't prepared for a game,
guess what I'm gonna do. Bed, I'm gonna take a
few shots. Like guys, like you're gonna take some shots,
you go, but you ain't about to sit down and
move and like you ain't doing all of that. But
offense is it's up to you, right, Like you're dictating
(24:01):
where you're trying to get where you're trying to go.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That's a different thing. Yeah, but it's like they don't
you just gotta take it personal? Right? What's to take personal?
Steph versus Kyrie? That ain't personal enough for you?
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Like I'm not just gonna let Steph shoot a three
on me, or if I'm Kyrie, just let uh or
if I'm Steph, let's Kyrie just shoot a three. I
want to see it, like if they take a little
bit of challenge, like you know what, you're not scoring
on me, whether it's Joker or Winby, Like, yo, I'm
not I'm not letting him score on me.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
That's the personal in the instagram. Brother, Don't nobody want
to get it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Nobody want to get embarrassed during the instagram.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
You know what, it ain't gonna be no one on one.
I agree, it ain't gonna be no one on one man.
It's the best players in the world. Nobody can guard nobody.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
But at the same time, in the All Star Game,
like if Kobe, if Kobe, go me right, I'm trying
to go at Kobe.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
He not trying to let me get off.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
All the casuals on Instagram that's sitting sit behind their
computers and talk jump about people that's talking about, oh
we want to see a great game. Well, your nasty
habits on Instagram has ruined it because no one wants
to get embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
So for everybody go out there and be cool and yeah,
it is what it is. It's just a defense. I
think it's just a defensive challenge.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Since guaranteeing the chip, the comments in the media have
y'all viewed as underdogs. You've been an underdog, You've been
the lead dog within the four championships.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Which one is better for you? Underdog?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Everybody calling you out, that's always better. I've been an
underdog my whole life, Like that was my story coming up.
When you win as an underdog with people telling you
you can, you know when everybody jump on the bandwagon,
Oh they gonna win it's like yeah, like get out
out of here, like hey, band wagoners. But when you
ain't got nobody on the bandwagon that you go win
(26:07):
Allow twenty fifteen, Allow twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
When you go do that them the phone ones, this is.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
When you're like, oh, man, like wow, like shut out,
Like that's underdog for sure.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Any day.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Talk about the importance of starting the second half of
the season, Well, you know, the Warriors twenty six games left,
currently in ninth in the West. The next four games
you have the Mavericks at home, Hornets at home, Magic away,
six Ers away. Talk to the fans about how important
it is to get off to a good second back
(26:44):
end of a All Star game.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I think it's very important, especially in the place that
we're in.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You know, we let some games get away early that
we talked about that we shouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
But we are where we.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Are, and so for us, it's important to get off
to a good start because.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Every game count. We in playoff mode. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
We gotta we gotta approach these next twenty six like
the playoffs. We want to give ourselves the best position
is possible when it comes from seeding and to my
knowledge from what I've heard, I think we're only maybe
three games out of six or something like that. I
don't know that to be certain. But because I don't,
I don't follow the status. I just the way I
approached it. Win every game you can and check at
(27:24):
the end, like I think, you know, if we win
every game that we can and check out the end,
I think that'll leave us in a pretty good position.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
And so that's kind of how I approach it.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
But it's important to get off to a good start
because you got to build on that.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
And you know, you you it's you're.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You're establishing now you know, the season going waves as
you know, and now you're establishing life. And this is
the team we need to be in order to reach
our art to the goal right and you feel more
of a you know, you feel more of a sense
of urgency those last twenty six games because you can
see that light at the end of the tunnel. Man,
I don't think people understand BD how I feel. You
(28:03):
look up and they say game eleven of eighty two,
like you can't see the light at the end of
the tunnel. You can't even see the All Star break
at the at the end of the tunnel. And so
you know, twenty six games, you pass the All Star break,
you rejuvenated. Now you come back and you're like, all right,
we can see that light at the end of the tunnel.
We know what we're playing and working for. And I think,
(28:25):
you know, that's why it's important for us, you know,
to get off to a great start to these next
four Yeah, you know it's going to be going on
the road trip. I think it's also a good road
trip for us. Like it'll be a tough road trip
for sure, but I think it's some some winnable games
that we can go take and we need to make
sure we're taking care of our business and going to
do that.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I like the taking one game at a.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Time, absolutely, right, Absolutely, you can't look past nobody in
the NBA, especially these days where everybody's scoring. I told
you top gave us twenty points, put up twenty points
in third in three minutes.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah you got. You gotta grab a couple of makeup
games too, that you get that got away from you.
So you gotta make sure you win the.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Ones you supposed to win, and then you gotta grab
the one you gotta grab the games that you're not
supposed to win.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Absolutely move around the league a little bit.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
The biggest news coming out of All Star Break around
the league is Victor Winbyama will be out for the
rest of the season due to deep vein from bosis.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
In his right shoulder.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
That is blood claudie, some form of blood claudia in
his right shoulder number one. Whoever was the trainer that
figured that out to even send that for testa my
hat kudos because that's serious.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
You're talking about blood claudes and that's life threatening.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
You know other players that's going through this, Chris Bosh
this end the Chris Boss career at thirty two. Sark
Thompson h this end of this rookie season early. He
just got back maybe a month and a half two
months ago from and also some form of it. LaMarcus
Aldridge dealt with towards the end of his career which
kind of shut LA down as well. I don't know
(30:12):
if it was this exact thing, but I know some
for some form of blood clotting that slowed LA down
and ultimately forced him into retirement as well. And so
really sending sending my love and well wishes to Vic,
because that is something that like he has to be
aware of that for the rest of his career. Like
(30:32):
you know, we all hope and believe and think that
he's going to make a full recovery. But in making
a full recovery, that's blood clotting. That's what then you know,
you can't he can't necessarily get on blood thinners because
then it make you bruise easily and it doesn't allow
you to heal properly as far as basketball goes. And
so it's a tough, tricky thing, man, and it's something
(30:54):
that he could possibly deal with even once getting passing.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And so just sending our love and well wished uh
to Vic and dealing with this big prayers, Big prayers.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Sounds like there's a lot of interests, uh from players
like Kyrie James Gianni's Dang.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
KD kind of down played it, but KD love playing ones.
KD played ones every day anyway. Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
As far as the one on one tournament during the
NBA All Star weekend next year, it would be unrifled
in one.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
This year the FISA Collier won that one. Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Do you think you ultimately get the best players to participate.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
In the one on one game. I think they would
do it.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I think Giannis would win though, yeah, yeah, I think
Giannis will win.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Whoever can play defense, is it a triple limit? You can't.
You can't have a million triples with NBA players.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Now you can have five, you can you can do
three dribbles, five dribbles. Like, none of those little guards
can stop Yannis. But Gianna's got defense right, so he
can pretty much affect They shot you should get like
you should get a six second shot shot clock running down, Man, I.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Tell you five.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I was about to say six seconds. And on one
on one it's a long time reguard.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Somebody one on one NBA man, it should be catching
all five four, three two one, it should be five seconds.
It'd be dove to see, you know, Kyrie Hard and
all these dudes go at each other where you know,
incredible uh one on one players in the game itself
to do that for Hassal weekend, I'd love to see
(32:27):
something like that. Shout out to Unrival for doing it
on the feast of Colliers. She brought out the bag
right then she played defense too. If you got some
offense and defense and you're a big man.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I like I like, Yeah, it's chances.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I'm taking KD because KD can check anybody, and Kate
can score better than I like KD too. I got yeah,
I got the role. K uh Yeah, k can guard anybody.
He shoot over everybody. Polo ben Terra Paulo can play,
for sure. Polo can play. That's that's a fact. And
(33:08):
he's from Seattle. They got the ones and James Harden.
If he gets rolling, ain't nobody gonna be able to
stop him.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
That's a fact. But you just said you got to
play defense, right, But I said, if he gets ain't
yard this year, Jeff veg Honey guard this year. Yeah yeah,
he o he O.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
He's serious, He's serious, he focused, he got the Cliffers rolling.
Chris Hayes reported that SGA will represent himself for all
all court decisions. That means he's up for a three
hundred million dollar contract this summer. Enjoins Joel Embiid as
another player representing himself.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I know what you think, what do you think about
this move? Listen?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I think I saw that this can save him twelve
million dollars an age of fees.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Listen, twelve million dollars, say there's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I just would warn him be very careful of how
much money you could be costing yourself, because there's things
in the contract that great representation know. You know, great
representation knows that you should have in your contract. Now,
a lot of guys ain't never had great representation and
they don't really know the capabilities and possibilities of a
(34:26):
contract is what could be in there and what should
be in there, And so I think a lot of
people make the mistake alike, he gonna get to three
forty five or whatever number is, He gonna get that anyway,
so what doesn't matter, And the reality is it's the
fine print. You know, there's a lot of things that
goes into a contract that it's more than just the
(34:48):
dollar amount that on that one receives. So and saying that,
I think, you know, make sure that he's getting all
that he can out of that contract. That's just not
about what the end dollar amount is. She can do
that and say twelve million dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
He good, you get it.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
But you know, and I always say, I don't think
Elon Musk is reading the legal on his deals that
he do, right, you know what I'm saying, I don't
think it's gotta get a good tad.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
You know what I'm saying. I don't think uh, I
don't foresee that.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Uh Jack Dorsey read all illegal when he sold Twitter
for forty four billion Elon Musk, I personally don't think
that that's the case, and so uh me personally, I
want to find great representation like those guys do that.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
GA represent themself.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
You know, you just gotta build the right council right,
build the right counsel, build the right team, build the
right advisors, have all your checks and balances, and just
hire somebody who.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Have strategic know how.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Also on the hills of All Star Weekend, out of
all the commotion and the media, was my man ant
Man saying, I'm capable of being that guy, but I
don't want to be that guy. Many I don't want
to be the face of the league. He said, Winby
should be the face of the league. What makes someone
(36:21):
the face of the league?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Man? What makes someone the face of the league? Number One, you.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Got the game. You gotta have the game first and foremost.
You can be as you can be, as clean cut
as you want. A great The biggest steward of the
game you want to be. If you don't got the game,
the match, you cannot be the face of the NBA.
You must be generational. You must have elite ability. That
is number one. Number two, you must represent the league
(36:50):
in a positive manner, a positive light when you look
at the logo, that is what matters most. This is
a multi billion dollar corporation and how you represent that
logo on and off the basketball court matters.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
You cannot be the face of the.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
NBA if you don't win, because the NBA cannot market
you in the biggest moments. If you don't win or
have never been a winner, and so you must win.
That must happen in order for you to be the
face of the NBA. We've seen a numerous amount of
guys start getting that hype and a little push and
(37:29):
little market and push, and if they don't win, it
goes to hell because we can't market you, we can't
show you on the biggest stage. That does not work
for being the face of the NBA and saying all
of those things to hear it. Man say, I am
capable of being that guy, but I don't want to be.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I agree with him.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
He is capable of being that guy from basketball standpoint,
talent standpoint, he.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Got all of that to be that, though he.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Has to go win, he has to continue to elevate
his aim to another level, like take that next step,
and he gotta be better with his interviews off the
course stuff, how he presents himself, I think, and that's
what he when he's.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Saying I don't want to be that guy. Those things
would show that.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
But regardless of all of that, I'm and man's what
twenty three, twenty four, Uh, if you're going to be
that right now is the time that you have to
be build and that you can't start trying to be
that at twenty seven, And so my thing would just
be I hope he understands that the opportunity that's in
front of him and know that it doesn't come back
(38:39):
around like a shot out of here, and once that
shot is gone, it don't come back around.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
So I hope it is.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
I hope that a man understands that, and it's not
making a decision at twenty three that at twenty seven,
twenty eight, twenty nine he's going to regret ye and
saying that I saw what Mello said, and I also
want you to try to understand something by no means
is this any disrespect.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Mello is the OG, that's my OG. Never would disrespect him.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
But I saw what Melo said publicly, so I'm going
to say this publicly and then I'm gonna hit Mello
and let him know I said this publicly because that
is my OG. Melo was talking about man. He says
some things along the lines of you don't get to
pick which he's right. But I felt like Mello was
going at a man a little bit. And when I
look back at mello career, because I was a huge
(39:28):
Mellow fan watching him while I was growing up, the
way he scored the basketball, Mello had to clean some
things up on his way through the league.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Mello had a bad rap.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Melos talked about this person publicly before when he said
the NBA is the FBI, and he said David Stern
called him into the office and start saying all these things.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
He was like, yo.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
So Mello has spoke about this publicly before, which is
why I feel comfortable publicly saying this. Melo struggled a
bit coming in early, was not on that right jectory
to become the face of the league. Had the talent,
but other things wasn't quite matching up right in order
to become that face of league. So my thing the
mellow would be and maybe he has because I know
(40:12):
Melo real one, call at Man, guide him to these things,
share your experiences with him, help him understand that you
had that opportunity too, and maybe some of the things
that you could have been doing cast you that opportunity.
If it did, I don't know for certain that it did,
but if it did, but I would just say call
(40:33):
him guy him. And the reason I say that is
because it ain't many of them guys that's like one
of the.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Ones, like you don't come around them often.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
You know what I'm saying. Melo is a steward, one
of the OG's, pioneer of Team USA basketball and it
becoming what has become at Man, it's kind of taken
over those rings. Guide him and show him what that means.
So I think that would be my only thing on it.
At Man struggling a little been in different areas this
(41:01):
year as a guy who struggled. I can't be a
guy sit up here and throw darts about that. I
know how hard it is, but I do think he's
capable of being that guy from a talent standpoint, you
know it is it does have to be something that
you want because it requires you to do so much
more than just play basketball.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
When you look at Lebro, when you look at KD
when he won the championships, right when you go through
the history of being a champion and being the man
on the championship team, you ain't got no choice. Look
at Jason Tatum Boston win it again. He's the face
of the league.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Right when Mellow was coming up little a little different,
Melo had to fight to get a face to be
one of the faces of the league because miss Kobe,
it's Dunk and it's you know, it's all kind of
legacy that precede him, you know, and so for ant Man,
there's a lot of legacy that precede him. But Melo
(42:01):
was trying to take them people out and mechelan to
try to take them out, and by him saying I
don't want to be that guy, Like to me, it's saying, well,
what do you want to be? Like how far do
you want to take it? What do you need to
take it there? Because if you don't want to be
that guy, then somebody else is going to come along
(42:23):
on this sushi boat of incredibly talented kids and say,
you know.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
What, I'll take it. I'll take it right, I'll take it,
and I'll take my.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
Game to the next level of the next level until
I win the championship. And I think that's what it's
really about, when you got somebody like him and his talent.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
I agree with that. I definitely agree with that. It's touchy, man.
Once you lose it, it's tough it. Don't boom arangue
back to you, buddy.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
Before we get out of here. Man, I got five
on it. Sorry, segment, I got five on it. This time,
BD will pick five of the most dangerous teams during
the final stretch of the NBA season. These are teams
that he feels, if they catch fire, would be a
real threat to win the NBA Championship.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Who you got, bed, All right, I'm going to my
standards list right now. I got Cleveland, I got Boston.
Then when I come over to the Western Conference, I
got Denver, I got the Clippers, and I have the
Golden State Warriors at number five. Any of those teams
get hot, and the West is gonna be problems.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
I agree in December.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
Hot right now, I'm taking Cleveland and Boston because their
pace and their style of play in the Eastern Conference,
I don't feel like any team can really keep up
with their pace and their style right their ball movement,
the way they shoot the three, the way they create
one on one mismatches, the way they play for each other,
(43:53):
the way four or five or six guys on the
team can beat you. Cleveland and Boston or are to
me the mirror images of each other. When I go
to the West and I talk about Denver, I think
Denver is starting to get back to championship pedigree. They
have some fatigue, right they missed, you know, they missed
(44:16):
the finals.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
They didn't have a great playoffs last year.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
Now with Russ, they got another force, they got another
like source of energy, Jamal Murray coming back, Eric Gordon
shooting the ball well like they have a chemistry, and
I felt like if they are somewhere around four three
or four where they can have some home court advantage
in the first couple rounds, they're gonna be dangerous. The
(44:45):
Los Angeles Clippers. The beard, the beard is all grown up.
It's a full grown beard. It's a boufont Beard, the
beard with the claw.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
You know, Norman Powell. You look at Zubac.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
The Clippers are playing defense and I think people underestimate
them on the defensive end, and then offensively, you know
with Kawhi, you know, with Zubac, the way he's playing,
with Norman Pou And then my my X factor for
the Clippers is Ben Simmons. Get Ben Simmons comfortable. Get
(45:23):
Ben Simmons playing, you know, aggressive at a high frequency.
Clippers are dangerous. And then number five, the Warriors. I
just like what this new Warrior look like, this new
Warrior energy. You know, this new Warrior team, everybody in
their roles kaminga coming back. I just feel like you
(45:47):
you now are where you were at the beginning of
the year, but you're a much better team. You're much
solid team, reliable down the stretch, getting free throws down
the stretch. Steph Curry, Ernie from three or now Buddy Hell,
you know, Moses Pod people filling in to they to
(46:08):
their natural positions with a Jimmy Butler there and Draymond
Green with Winby out with a d out. Jaymon Green
is the front runner for Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
So that gotta happen.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
That's definitely gonna happen. Now, I need to put that
together with with me going out and opened.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
It up here, open it up, let me try to
put one up.
Speaker 3 (46:33):
I want to guarantee Draymond Green is gonna be the
defensive player of the year.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
Let's put the rest of that together. Let's do it. Man. No,
that's that's fire. I like those teams.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
I think, uh, you know, each one of those teams
can definitely have a chance coming down the stretch.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
So we'll see y'all know my guarantee. That's a wrap.
