• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Yo, more breaking developments on the stephen A and Lebron.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: So speaking of people who don't like opinions.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Facts, bro So, stephen A Smith, you know, if you
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: follow sports, you definitely know because it was a big story.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Stephen A.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Smith was recently at a Lakers game and at that
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: game after the I don't know if it was after
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the game or they just showed it after the game,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: but at something it was like during the time out,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: during the time all right, bet So, Lebron goes over
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to stephen A where he's standing on the sideline and
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: basically said something along the lines of, keep my kids's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: name out your mouth, keep them out of this. You
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: can talk about me, don't talk about my son. I'm
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you one time. Yeah,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: there you go. So he came up to him speaking
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: on that specific situation. Bro Lebron is in a highly
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: testosterone event. You playing basketball and in front of an
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: arena and in front of an audience of millions around
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the world. So you're on alpha dog mode, you know
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because you don't want to get punked
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: at your sport by these other athletes. You know what
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, so the game goes how it goes. I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: think that was the game the Lakers won and Brunton got.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Hurt in overtime, right, that was the next game.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: So it's a competitive game, you know, the competitive juices
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: are flowing. So I could definitely see how you see
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: somebody that just you from Lebron's point of view, Bro,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: stephen Day makes a living just talking salty about Lebron,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And it's like, yes, there's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: more than what he does than that, and yes, Lebron
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: is the topic. So that's what he's going to talk about.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Stephen A's talking about him because that's the topic. If
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Lebron wasn't the topic, he wouldn't be talking about Lebron.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It's not like he just wants to talk about that.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: That's something everybody wants to hear about, everybody wants to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: opinions about.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: He wouldn't talk about it if it wasn't what people
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: wanted to hear. So that's what it is. So I
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: get it from Steve even a side, but I also
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: get it from Lebron soide where it's like, Bro, you
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: just make a living just talking running your mouth about
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: me by my kid. You know what I'm saying, You've
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: been doing this with me for twenty years already. Don't
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: bring my son into it. You know what I'm saying, like,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: don't start, which you know as a dad, bro, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: just like looking at the situation, Bro, I feel lebron Bro.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I definitely feel him. I definitely understand why he would
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: take that approach with stephen A. Then you got stephen A.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: He goes on ESPN very political answer. Obviously that's his
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: main job. That's his bread and butter. You don't want
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to get in to certain things when you're talking on
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: ESPN or First Take or whatever. He basically says something
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: along the lines of I understand him. I feel like
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: he misinterpreted maybe what he said, Lad, when I talked about,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you know, the situation with your son, it was regarding
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: what you have to do with it, so it wasn't
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: about him, you know, basically cleaned it up and he
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: said it real like he sounded like real, like reverent
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and like kind of weird when he said it, almost
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: like like it was like a funeral he was at
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: or something like that, like mad, mad dramatic.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Really really dramatic. And I think it's because he's trying
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to absorb the attention of it without acting like he
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: cares really about it. But he does. He's that's the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: best thing that could happen.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It's almost acting like poor me that I got pressed,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I got blindsided. Like
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: so then he goes on to Matt Barnes podcast, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: was that Matt Barnes or Gooder Arenas? I think I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: was both of them there. But so he goes and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: speaks to Gilbert Arenas, which you know, Gilbert Arenas.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Faces bro be so hilarious. Doctor.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You look at him and you know he's like.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Bro, he adn't buying none of that ship.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And stephen A is basically like I thought it was weak.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I thought it was bullshit.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: You could came to me as a man, I would have.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Rich Paul knows I would you out there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Rich Paul is my number, broad As my number.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: But he don't want to spend the day with you.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He don't want to hang out. He's seen you and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: took the opportunity to tell you what he felt. You
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: ain't say nothing, Bro, You ain't answered, but he said
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it and left because you ain't even talked back. Bro.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I think I think Lebron also took a stance to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: talk more more people than stephen Ay. He used steven
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: A as an outlet to everybody out there, leave Lee
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Brownie out of this. I'm telling y'all, right now, leave
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Brownie out of this because I pressed probably one of
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the highest highest broadcast sports broadcasters in the game. If
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I speak to him like this, listen, now, listen, I'm
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: gonna tell you if I ever see you. So I
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: think he used that as an outlet to let the
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: message be well known. Leave my son out of this, bro.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Then the funny thing was stephen A hits the Smoky
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and Debo. He's like when he basically was like when
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Lebron tell me to stop talking, I stopped talking, But
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: when Lebron leave, I'll be talking again. Broh that that
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: whole Like he goes like all dressed up all nights
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to like like to the Matt Barnes teak and he's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: there talking like he a g like, come on, man,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: like we know what it is. Bro, Like you don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: gotta you don't gotta have this angle with it because honestly, bro,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: when if I really look look at it like as
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: an overall situation because I listened to First Take, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm a sports junkie, bro, so I've heard
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff that Stephen has said. He's
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: given his opinions and stuff, but I don't feel like
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: he's ever said anything would in a way like It's
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: like Bruh Lebron specifically was choreographing that he wanted Brownie
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to come to the Lakers and that he will go
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to whatever team he wants. He wants him to come
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to the Lakers, but if the Lakers don't want him,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: he'll go somewhere else to play with Bronnie. It's like, Bro,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you forced your hand for your son to end up
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: on your tea. We talked about it when it happened.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I ain't mad at that, Bro. If I had that
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: power to bro have a once in a lifetime moment
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: like that and all the equity Lebron has and the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: time that he's spending the NBA, the money he's made
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: them and stuff.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Bro, I ain't mat but I do like the numbers
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: that are coming up statistically, logistically, Brownie was a normal
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: bottom of the draft pick. He's getting paid bottom of
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the draft numbers. He's putting up bottom of the draft points,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: if not better. He's overachieving in the G League. He's
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: not getting any type of preference, but he's not doing
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: any worse in the last ten rounds in the draft.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: See, I feel what you're saying. But this is after
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the fact, when it was going on his resume and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: what he had that time was different. It was a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: thing of like he didn't even deserve that position. He's proven,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Like you said, the way he's playing in the G League,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: how he looks in the games and stuff like, I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: don't look at him and say, this is not an
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: NBA player, bro. Like there's a lot of there's a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: lot of scrubs in the league. I mean, they're the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: best players in the world. But when you're playing against Lebron,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you look like a scrub.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And I don't look at it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: But that's the thing. That's the thing with steven A
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: in the whole situation. It's like there's one, two players
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that got picked after him, four players that got picked
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: before him. They're all trash. Nobody's talking about.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Him facts exactly. There's there's players that were higher picks,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: second round picks, third round picks that some of them
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: aren't even like signed to, like an actual team right now, all.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Trash, but nobody's mentioned in them, yep.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Because it's the eyeballs and it's one of them things
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: too of like, Bro, like you're Lebron, Bro, you gotta understand,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: this is your son. He's following your footsteps. I'm pretty sure.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm not pretty sure. I know he's spoken
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to him about this already, Like yo, you already know
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you know the type of pressure that's coming your way
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: this is or that, and I understand he's trying to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: shield it from him or whatever. But dog like, it's
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: kind of like the ricochet thing, bro, Like you're pressing
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: this dude like he can never be you. Bro, he
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: don't even understand what position you in, Like, Bro, why
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: do you even care? You know what I'm saying. But
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: it's easy for me to say because I don't have
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: people talking about me twenty four to seven, So that's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: also from the outside looking in. But it's like, I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: don't know, Bro, It's like you should be so like
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: locked in or what you got going on? That like
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the naysayers gonna say what they say, Bro, is like,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: just so.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: From this aspect, you being a father with his son
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: who hoops, you're not in an hooping like in any
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: kind of level right now, But would you ever reach
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the point where you were interject in your son's career
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: to people talking bad about him and saying stop.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: No way, I would interject. Like the perfect example, Bro,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: he had a game this weekend and he was getting
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of people from the crowd talking and psyching
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: them out, like telling because they were like trying to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: interject and say what kind of defense they should run,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: what they should do on offense and stuff, and he
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: was like that it was throwing them off. So I'm like, Bro,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you listen to your coach. Bro, I coach when the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: coach is not there. And in this particular set, they
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: played two games. In one of the games, I was
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: like an assistant coach because I was going to coach
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: one game and I just assistant assistant to the other one.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: When his coach was talking, I'm telling my son, listen
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to him, yeah, and do what he tells you, even
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: if what he's telling him is not what I would
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: tell him. But in this case, this is what you
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: need to be Do you know what I'm saying the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: same way I told you, don't listen to nobody else.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Same here. You need to be looking at him and
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: listening to him because look at him. This is the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: coach right now. And with everything with my son, Bro,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I'm always because this is how I am, and I
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: know that he will benefit from this because I benefit
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: from it, just from the point of view of like Bro,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: when people, I don't care about what anybody else is saying.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I don't care about nobody's opinion. I'm locked into knowing
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: if I know that I'm giving the effort that I
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: need to be given, and I know that I'm working
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the way I need to be working. Bro, That's where
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I'm worrying about. That's where my worries lie, like making
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: sure that I'm on point. Whatever anybody else says about
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: if I'm on point or how I'm on point, I'm not.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I don't care about that because I already have the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: bar here to myself. I already know what the bar is.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Whatever you say is not going to change my bar.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: It's not going to make me think of Bro, I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: don't care. I already know what I'm doing, and that's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: kind of what like I want my son to be
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on and that's what I wish a lot more people
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: were on in general, especially like people in these positions,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Like I always hate seeing when people.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Give the.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Like time of day or like give feed the energy
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to people that they feel are like naysayers, you know
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like it's like it's like, bro, like
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: look at you, look at what you're on, look at
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the piece that you can afford that. Like people in
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the regular position can like, why do you care what
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: anybody else is saying?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Bro? You know, facts, facts no shots are ready to
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: shay he probably be mad, So I ain't facts no shots.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe not one of his co workers, but he could definitely.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: But you know, kind of wrapping up here and along
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the same vein, but in a different way. It kind
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of goes into like how people just have the nerve
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to be saying stuff when they're not even qualified.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: You got these young players Slash and one of them
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: being a rookie off the Grizzlies, was talking crazy the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: other day, and you know, people were just you know,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: John Moran was just talking about how he was basically
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: just hyped up for his team, and you know, having
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: his team's back and everything, and it's just funny, man,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: seeing this little dude that you know, I don't even
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: remember his name, Bro. Like he's not even like a
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: like a highly twed player or nothing, but he's talking
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to KD like he's summed by Bro. And I know,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we all men, Bro,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: but it's like, dog, you're talking to probably the best
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: scorer the end, like just when we're talking about just scoring,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: like scoring period, figuring out a way to put the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: ball in the basket.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Bro, KD probably the best one of them. And that's why,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Like Kd's response wasn't even arguing back with him. He
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: was just like, show a little lass up, Bro. In fact,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: shut show ass up.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: He just already knew, Like, Bro, this dude ain't even
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: qualify to talk to me this way. Like it's like
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that thing Shack always says, like you need G five
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: clearance to even talk to me about some stuff, like
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: you need to have rings or you need to have
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: some kind of accolades for me to even listen to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: what you're talking about. And it kind of is the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: same with that, Like it's it's just funny, man, how
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: like people feel a certain type of way, or they
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: just get the battery in their back to say something
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and it's like, bro, like, do you.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Think that's that that's something that these young kids shouldn't
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: do with legends in the NBA that are still around,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: or you think that's a good like confidence mama mentality
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: kind of thing.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: To have always been the type of player And obviously
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I'm a no level player and nobody, but I always
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: been the type of player that I just like to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: let my game speak, you know what I'm saying.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: It's like, Bro, yeah you made the shot. Just run
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: back defense.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I mean you you just do your thing, keep your head.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: That's why I love Kawhi, Bro, That's why I love
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I know he's always injured, bro, and that sucks. You know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: obviously he wouldn't want to be injured all the time,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: but you know, it just is what it is. It
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: kind of goes into what we were saying last week
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that sometimes stuff happens in players' careers and it just
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: shapes up a certain way and their legacy turns out
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: a certain way, and it's like, bro, what can you do?
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Things just didn't shape up. But that's why always like kawhi, Bro,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: because he just be hooping, Bro, and he shows it
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: with the game, you know what I'm saying. And it's like,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: that's why I like. And that's a funny thing too, man,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: just to tell John likes because you mentioned the mama mentality. Like, Bro,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: nobody really liked Kobe when he when he was like
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a player in the NBA. Once he started winding down
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and the you know, farewell farewell tour and everything, and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: everybody realized that damn, this super dope player and competitor
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: is going to be gone. Like they based like he
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: was loved at the end because basically he was defanged,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like he wasn't in his
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: prime anymore, and he wasn't the same player. So it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: like it made him a little more docile and more chill.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: He was, you know, the senior witist thing a little bit,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: like he already knew he was at the end. You know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: as far as his career went, Bro, people didn't like
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: him while he was a player. Nobody liked him. Bro.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: He's calling it Dwight Howard soft that Jeff still lives
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: in my mind. And that's that's the thing. Like, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I heard a question today like would you rather have
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Lebron's IQ or Kobe's mama mentality? And same thing. It's
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: like it was awesome to witness, but nobody really liked
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: playing around that, Like everybody like when you see the
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Olympics special and when they said, well he ran through
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Pau Gasol like his main dude, and he ran like
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: if I was him, I like what you're doing, Like
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. It's awesome. It's an awesome
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: story and it's something that will live on forever, something
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: that I would love to have in any aspect of
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: what I do in life. But I know it's gonna
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: come with there's a lot of people that are not
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: gonna like me for that. And so it's like, do
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: you really want to be that good and that dangerous
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: where nobody around you is even feels comfortable to play
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: with you. It's a give and take, yeah.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And it's like a perfect player that pops into my mind,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: like with a certain kind of mentality, but also on
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the level of that rookie on the Grizzlies is somebody
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like Grayson Allen. So he's a very hyh percentage three
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: point shooter, gives a lot of effort, good defense. He's
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: a pesky player. People hate him people people hate him
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: when he's not on their team, but when he's on
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: their team, they love him. And it's like him he
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: can he can be the way he is because he's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: effective in what he does with this rookie dude, Like, Bru,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: watch out because you're over here talking bro. Now now
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: now you put a different kind of little spotlight.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Her contracts up. Might not be any teams that want
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: to sign you at this point.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Because because maybe maybe you're a little too mouthy for
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: your performance, you know what I mean, Because that happens
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a lot. Like a lot of times in the NBA,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you see these players that were the star of a
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: team and they still got gas in the tank, but
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: no team wants to sign them. And everybody's like, dang,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I can't believe nobody signed John Wall, nobody.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Will sign Carmelo anthety what he wants to play with
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: these people.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: It's like, Bru, it's hard to take a player out
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: of the mentality of like you're the man, you're the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: main folk is and tell him, Bro, you about to
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: be the twelve guns the bench that might.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Get five baggage that comes with him, and some teams
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: don't want that baggage.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Exactly, and and some teams don't even want to disrespect
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the players, Like, Bro, all I got for you is
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: five minutes every other game. I'm not about to have
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: a legend on my bench and do that to them,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And a lot of those
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: players won't even accept those roles because it just diminishes
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: their legacy, diminishes their stats everything, you know what I'm saying.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Like at the end of the day, they might be
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: better off not playing that season and not adding anything
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to their stats, to just keep it a certain way
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and not have that diminished.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: To exact, bro, Yo.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: One thing that we can kind of like end it on, Bro,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: because I feel like this is kind of insane, how
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: it's I feel like it's being talked about like crazy,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: but somehow it's still mad under the radar. How is
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Lebron still as good at this age? Bro? Like, no
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: player this age has even Like we were talking about
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: this three years ago about how players at his age
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: have never been that efficient, Bros. He's coming up on us,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you know, before he went down. Just now, people was
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: really talking about like is he playing the best basketball
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: his career type stuff.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Like he's literally he's literally averaging the numbers he had
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: in his MVP season.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Bro, this is insane.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Like the way that he has really defied the logic
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: of basketball is crazy on like a crazy level. And
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: like I said, I feel like people recognize it and
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: they're talking about it. Yeah, but it's still something that somehow,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: even though people are talking about it and recognizing, is
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: still going on.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: It's proven a lot of people wrong. And that's why
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I used to get a lot of Michael Jordan versus
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Lebron conversations on IG. I get post sent to me.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: This is your king, this is your king that slowed
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: down in the last two years. Yes, yes, Like are
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: you really still fighting the fight? Like I said, my
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I love Jordan my Er. My favorite number is twenty three.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Growing up, I love Jordan everything twenty three. But once
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I saw Lebron, I convert Lebron just like I was
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: a NAS fan, and I went a Jay like I
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: know what I think is great and he's heat for me.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: He's the greatest of all time. And there's nothing you
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: can send me. There's no clips, there's no IG reels.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: There's no stats or facts that can top what he
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: is doing today in his twenty some teen year It's
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: just ridiculous. Yep.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Just like the wrestling topic, Bro, you see what you
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: see and you like what you like because of it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna convince me. They're two different players. The
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: people that love Jordan for what they love Jordan for
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: are the like there's the other side of the people
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: that love Lebron for what they love Lebron for. It's
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: two different reasons and trying to convince each other don't matter, Bro.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: It's like I you can appreciate the greatness of one
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: while appreciating the greatness of the other one, and you
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: can have your opinion, and that's what it is. In opinion, bro.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Yep, le' brotherly goat
