We don't even miss.
1:55
Now that I think about it,
1:56

1:58
For real.
1:59
Our last break was for Christmas.
2:01
Y'all had to give us that
2:02
for Christmas and New Year's Eve,
2:04
but I am glad to be back.
2:06
Nah,
2:06
the last break is when Juju tore her ACL.
2:10
Oh, we did take that break.
2:12
We still went the next day, though,
2:13
didn't we?
2:14
No, remember,
2:15
I texted y'all in the morning.
2:16
I'm like, bro, I can't.
2:16
I was like, I'm not even in the mood.
2:18
I don't think we went that week at all.
2:19
I think we did take a break.
2:20
We took a break that week.
2:21
Or no, maybe we did go the next day.
2:23
No, we took a break the next week.
2:26
I could have sworn we did an
2:27
episode like the day,
2:27
like on that Wednesday, probably.
2:29
Maybe we did.
2:30
Maybe we did.
2:32
Man, we did.
2:33
I don't know, but they was mad as hell,
2:34
though.
2:36
Hey, people was mad as hell.
2:38
We didn't go on that Tuesday night.
2:39
It's a part of the game, and I'm like,
2:40
okay, damn, we can't just be sad.
2:41
Hell,
2:47
even when Malaysia entered the portal,
2:48
I think it was on a Friday,
2:49
they were asking,
2:50
did y'all go live tonight?
2:51
They did.
2:53
They did.
2:54
They did.
2:57
But before we do,
2:59
we do appreciate y'all for sure.
3:01
Before we do get started, man,
3:02
I don't know how to say this.
3:06
Our sister Felicia,
3:09
she is a motherfucking soldier, boy.
3:11
She didn't beat cancer.
3:13
She didn't have everybody.
3:16
Man, she didn't have us.
3:18
Oh, man, she had us.
3:20
Tearing up, it was just a happy thing.
3:24
I'm going to give you your floor, Felice,
3:25
but I ain't going to talk
3:26
too long because we're not
3:26
going to be crying on this camera.
3:31
Okay?
3:31
I'll tell you what,
3:32
I was at the gym when I saw that.
3:33
I had to run out because I'm like, uh-uh.
3:37
I can't let people see me like this.
3:39
But that's just amazing, though.
3:41
That's amazing that, man,
3:43
cancer be trying to take
3:44
some real people up out of here.
3:45
But Felicia been here, man.
3:47
She be here.
3:48
She be apologizing when she
3:49
can't even make it, man.
3:50
You got other stuff going on.
3:51
Right.
3:51
We definitely understand.
3:54
You got other stuff that's
3:55
going on in your life.
3:57
If you can't make the live show,
3:58
it's okay.
3:59
We definitely understand, but
4:01
we are happy with man you're
4:03
in good spirits just for
4:04
somebody to be going
4:05
through what felicia's been
4:07
going through for the for
4:08
months now you would never
4:10
know no she was going
4:11
through it at all you would
4:12
never known like your
4:14
inspiration for for us to
4:15
keep going because life has
4:16
been life and since
4:19
It's been a good year,
4:21
but life has been life
4:22
since the year started.
4:25
Don't let nobody fool you.
4:27
Shit has been going haywire for everybody.
4:29
The world is just upside down right now.
4:32
Felicia,
4:33
that's a big W that a lot of
4:34
people needed.
4:35
A big W. You know what I'm saying?
4:38
We love you, Felicia.
4:40
We're going to keep praying for you,
4:42
for sure.
4:42
But we love you.
4:44
Y'all got anything to say?
4:46
Y'all want to say something?
4:47
I mean, I agree.
4:48
I think it's just very inspirational.
4:51
Like, you know,
4:51
we get caught up in just
4:53
the everyday drama in life.
4:55
And, like,
4:55
just for her to be on the
4:56
timeline every day and just
4:58
be fearful and happy and
4:59
supportive is amazing.
5:00
Like,
5:01
I don't think she realizes how much
5:02
that means, you know,
5:03
means to us in general.
5:06
Like when you see someone, you know,
5:07
essentially fighting for
5:08
their lives and they can
5:09
still show up every day
5:11
with a smile on their face
5:12
and supportive like that's
5:13
that's inspirational.
5:14
And I think it's just, you know,
5:16
a testament to God.
5:17
So I would be remiss if I
5:18
didn't say thank you, Jesus.
5:19
Like I'm saying like prayer still works.
5:22
The blood still works.
5:23
Like, you know,
5:24
I'm saying like just shout
5:25
out to God for sure.
5:27
Like her family,
5:28
like just for being there
5:30
and supporting her on, you know,
5:31
the hard days that we didn't see.
5:32
Mm hmm.
5:34
We know it was there.
5:35
You know what I'm saying?
5:36
We would we would never even
5:37
known the hard days because
5:38
you was always there.
5:39
So exactly.
5:40
Being positive.
5:41
I mean, I'll be right.
5:42
I really admire her strength.
5:43
I ain't gonna I ain't gonna get emotional.
5:44
Y'all ain't gonna get me emotional.
5:46
But no, I mean, I think it's dope, man.
5:48
You know, Felicia, I mean,
5:50
you definitely my thoughts
5:51
and prayers throughout this
5:52
entire journey.
5:54
For me to get that video,
5:55
and it's crazy too because
5:56
today was a pretty crazy day,
5:57
but when Felicia posted that video,
5:59
that definitely lifted my spirits today.
6:01
Congrats to her.
6:02
I think it's also an
6:03
indication of people need
6:05
to be kind to people
6:05
because you really don't
6:06
know what people are going
6:07
through behind the scenes.
6:08
You don't know.
6:10
Even with Felicia being open
6:11
about her journey, you know,
6:12
fighting through cancer,
6:13
it's like a lot of people,
6:14
they go through a lot of things, you know,
6:15
behind closed doors.
6:16
They're not as open.
6:17
So I think that's just an
6:18
indication of always being kind to people,
6:19
always being there for people, honestly,
6:20
because you never know what
6:21
people go through behind the scenes.
6:23
Mm-hmm.
6:25
Especially with all the shit
6:26
that's been going on on Twitter, man.
6:27
People be cussing out strangers,
6:31
doing all types of stuff.
6:32
You don't know.
6:33
You just never know.
6:36
Matter of fact,
6:37
I've seen Felicia in
6:38
comments going to war for us.
6:43
Right.
6:43
She didn't even get to do that.
6:44
People talking crazy about us.
6:45
She didn't even get to do that at all.
6:48
So it's like, man, salute Felicia.
6:50
And I cannot wait to meet you in person.
6:54
Like,
6:54
it's going to be the biggest hug I'm
6:56
going to give you.
6:56
I just cannot wait.
6:57
But we're going to get this
6:59
show started before we
7:00
start getting emotional over here.
7:01
I feel it coming.
7:04
I feel it coming for sure.
7:06
Man, where do y'all want to start, man?
7:08
We had so much shit happen
7:09
since it's been two weeks.
7:10
Oh, man, real quick, man,
7:11
how was y'all on Easter?
7:13
I don't even think we even
7:14
talked about that, man.
7:16
Yeah, man.
7:18
you know, chilled out for a little bit,
7:19
partook in some activities,
7:21
you know what I mean?
7:21
Oh, yeah, it was four-twenty that day.
7:23
Yeah, you already know.
7:25
I'm still on my streak.
7:26
I am still on my streak, by the way.
7:29
Man, it's probably been about a month.
7:30
I actually went to ask you
7:31
if you... It had to be longer than that,
7:32
Jay.
7:33
I think it's been longer than a month.
7:35
Probably have.
7:36
I didn't go do nothing.
7:37
I drank some wine, smoked me a cigar,
7:41
but I ain't had no Mary
7:43
Jane in about a month and a half,
7:44
probably.
7:45
It's probably about a month and a half.
7:48
Hey, listen, the next time I do partake,
7:50
I'm going to be above Jesus.
7:53
I know my tolerance.
7:54
I was going to say,
7:54
the good part is you ain't
7:59
going to have to spend a
7:59
whole bunch of money.
8:01
That's right.
8:01
I'm going to be on my ass
8:02
next time I do do it.
8:04
Fortunately, it was on Easter.
8:08
One of our friends did come
8:09
over and got a plate.
8:11
From us because she went to
8:12
a four-twenty party.
8:13
So I actually forgot about
8:16
it at first until she came
8:17
over and got a plate.
8:18
But, man, my Easter was good.
8:20
Raina Cook went to church, you know,
8:21
normal thing.
8:23
You know what I'm saying?
8:24
Church was packed like normal.
8:26
You know that.
8:27
You know how church be.
8:28
Then this past Sunday, it was crowded,
8:31
but nothing like Easter.
8:31
Yeah.
8:31
That's exactly why I went to
8:34
the eight o'clock because I was like,
8:36
I ain't playing around.
8:36
I know it's about to be packed.
8:38
But, yeah, church was cool.
8:39
I was in there crying, you know.
8:43
And you'd be in church ugly crying.
8:45
I'd be in church crying
8:46
because I'm grateful.
8:48
Like, listen,
8:49
I don't look like what I've been through.
8:51
Like, God has been good to me,
8:52
and I'm not ashamed or
8:54
embarrassed to say it or
8:55
cry in front of anybody in regards to,
8:57
like, what God has done in my life.
8:59
So I'd be in there boo-hooing, child.
9:01
If I'm doing this,
9:02
I'd be in there boo-hooing.
9:04
I'll be in there praising.
9:05
I'll be in there.
9:05
I'll be in there.
9:06
Yeah, I just live.
9:06
I enjoy church.
9:07
I enjoy church, but I'll be in there just,
9:08
Lord have mercy, Jesus.
9:09
Oh, man.
9:09
When I was crying so hard,
9:10
the lady beside me,
9:10
she was patting me on my back.
9:11
I'm like, all right,
9:11
I ain't boohooing like that now.
9:12
It was just a couple of tears.
9:16
Like, she patted me on my back.
9:19
It's okay, baby.
9:20
Oh, my God.
9:21
That shit is so funny.
9:27
But that's how I be, though.
9:28
I'm grateful and thankful, man.
9:29
It be some hard days,
9:31
but I'm grateful and thankful for sure.
9:33
For sure.
9:34
Wiley, I ain't going to leave you out.
9:36
Wiley, how was your Easter, man?
9:39
Very relaxing.
9:40
Got some homework done, you know,
9:42
group projects.
9:43
I forgot you were in school, man.
9:44
God bless you.
9:47
Still grinding it out.
9:50
But when you saw Sinners, hit the matinee.
9:53
Great movie.
9:54
I still haven't seen that.
9:55
Don't judge me.
9:58
It was crowded, man.
9:59
Jesus Christ.
10:01
I got a link, though.
10:02
It worked, too.
10:05
But go pay for it first.
10:06
Go pay for it first.
10:09
You got to give me
10:10
experience at the theater.
10:11
I know.
10:11
I'm going to do it,
10:14
but go ahead and send that, though.
10:15
Oh, yes.
10:16
Man, I can't.
10:16
Hey, Wiley, once again, man,
10:18
shout out to you for being
10:18
in school because, listen,
10:19
I've been trying to help
10:21
Ace or Carter with homework,
10:22
especially this new math shit.
10:24
I used to be like, mm-mm.
10:27
Mm-mm.
10:27
No, I'm straight.
10:29
I'm glad my daughter is
10:30
about to be out the door next year.
10:32
Yeah.
10:33
I feel you.
10:34
You got it, brother.
10:36
You got it.
10:37
I'd be like, hey, can we go home?
10:38
He'd be like, yes, I got math and daddy.
10:39
I'd be like...
10:44
I'm not looking forward to that.
10:44
If Johnny has five.
10:48
Yo, something has to be me.
10:49
Something has to be right.
10:50
I'm doing that.
10:51
Like we'd be going nuts.
10:52
Like freeze.
10:53
If you look at us,
10:54
like he just write anything down.
10:57
You just get there now.
11:02
You're just going to put
11:02
anything down now?
11:03
He's been trying.
11:03
He's just trying to shout
11:04
something down to get through it.
11:05
Maybe start writing anything down.
11:05
So everybody is frustrated now.
11:06
Everybody mad.
11:06
You know what?
11:07
I'm going to hold you to the
11:08
good thing about that
11:11
because I'm terrible at math.
11:12
But the good thing about
11:13
that is Jillian is a math teacher,
11:20
so she already knows she won't call me.
11:21
There you go.
11:21
There we go.
11:22
Hey, Randy be like, man, she was like, man,
11:23
listen,
11:23
I don't care what your teacher said.
11:24
We're doing the math this way.
11:25
This is how you're going to
11:26
get the answer.
11:26
This is the answer right there.
11:27
They teach it a whole
11:28
different way than what we're doing.
11:29
A whole different way.
11:30
A whole different way.
11:31
All right, man.
11:34
One more thing before I get started.
11:35
I'm going to say this one time.
11:39
What's up, Jazzy Lamar?
11:39
What up, Jazzy?
11:40
What up, Lamar?
11:40
Listen,
11:42
ain't nobody beating no goddamn
11:44
silverback, okay?
11:45
Hell nah.
11:48
Listen,
11:50
ninety-five percent of people are
11:51
going to see that first
11:52
person get their temple
11:53
knocked off their head or
11:54
their head ripped off.
11:55
I'm not even looking.
11:55
I'm just running.
11:58
If I see the first person get knocked out,
12:00
I ain't fucking with them.
12:01
Bro,
12:01
I don't even need to see the first
12:03
person.
12:04
As soon as I see the gorilla, I'm gone.
12:06
Like, come on, man.
12:07
Y'all, and the funny thing,
12:08
this has been jokes,
12:09
but there's people who
12:10
actually believe they can be the gorilla.
12:13
If you don't have a weapon,
12:14
there's no human alive
12:15
that's going to beat a wild animal.
12:17
You can know fucking Taekwondo,
12:20
all that shit.
12:21
Man,
12:21
that gorilla is going to eat them
12:23
punches and kicks.
12:23
Gorillas is like five hundred pounds.
12:25
People are not smart.
12:31
That just lets me know how
12:32
people just aren't smart.
12:33
It's nowhere near smart.
12:33
Listen,
12:33
I'm sitting off in the back and I
12:35
want to watch the first two,
12:36
three people and then I'm out.
12:37
Man, like,
12:38
people are telling me we rush them.
12:39
I don't care if you rush them.
12:41
Man, listen, like,
12:41
no one has seen that much wood.
12:42
Bro, just one slap, like,
12:43
just won't take out fifty people.
12:44
Come on, man.
12:47
And then they had a nerd
12:47
talking about polar bears.
12:48
Polar bears are apex predators.
12:50
They hunt people.
12:52
They hunt other things.
12:53
Like, come on, man.
12:54
Hey, look at the hunter.
12:54
Yeah, hunter.
12:54
Yeah.
12:55
Y'all, y'all.
12:55
You used to hunt with your
12:55
great daddy and stuff, right?
13:02
Yeah, man, come on, man.
13:04
First of all,
13:05
people are not even going to
13:06
want to go camping.
13:07
You know the scary stuff you
13:08
hear at night when you camp at night?
13:12
I've camped outside for a week, man.
13:15
You hear sounds you ain't
13:16
never heard before.
13:17
That's why you got to put your earbuds in.
13:21
Motherfuckers ain't fought
13:22
probably in a very, very long time.
13:25
Exactly.
13:26
And they talking about fighting a gorilla.
13:28
Come on, man, please.
13:29
Y'all got to go home.
13:31
That's your first fight?
13:32
No, them first thirty seconds, you cooked.
13:35
Man, I'm not trying to hurt you.
13:35
A fight?
13:36
A fight is a long time.
13:37
It's a long time, yeah.
13:38
It's a long time.
13:38
Throwing punches, man, what?
13:42
Man, listen.
13:44
Listen, man.
13:45
That shit is... I ain't going to lie.
13:46
Look, I talk tough, but shoot,
13:48
I ain't fighting in a while.
13:48
Man, hell no.
13:48
If I ain't knocking nobody out,
13:49
I'm probably going to get beat up.
13:51
I ain't fucking fighting.
13:52
I ain't fucking fighting.
13:55
Man, a gorilla?
13:56
At first, it was just jokes.
13:57
The jokes have been funny
13:58
because Twitter is going to
13:59
give you the jokes,
13:59
but people were serious.
14:02
Nobody was accounting for fear.
14:04
Human nature, you're going to be scared.
14:06
No one has seen that much blood.
14:07
You ain't never seen
14:08
somebody's head knocked off
14:10
or a human being ripped
14:11
apart in front of your eyes.
14:13
When that happens,
14:14
what are you going to do?
14:14
Stand there?
14:15
I don't know.
14:18
I'm just trying to get this
14:18
shit off my chest because
14:19
people have been pissing me
14:20
off because people really
14:21
believe this shit.
14:22
Like,
14:22
they really believe they can do this.
14:24
No.
14:24
No, you cannot.
14:25
I don't give a damn.
14:26
You get a hundred WWF superstars.
14:28
Yes, I said WWF.
14:31
It's not going to work.
14:33
But here's the most
14:34
important thing and then we can move on.
14:36
A lot of y'all can't fight, period.
14:38
Y'all think y'all can fight as well?
14:43
That's the truth.
14:44
That's the truth, Nick.
14:45
That's the truth.
14:46
What up, Nathan?
14:47
Tortilla Tuesday.
14:49
What is that?
14:49
Tortilla Tuesday.
14:50
Will it be Taco Tuesday?
14:50
You don't eat tacos?
14:51
I guess you don't want tortillas.
14:52
Tortillas.
14:56
Okay.
14:56
That's what's up.
14:58
Man, we don't want to get started there,
14:59
man.
15:05
I ain't writing nothing down, so go ahead.
15:07
We can talk about Malaysia
15:08
since we haven't talked about it.
15:09
I get the Twitter score from y'all.
15:12
I got free.
15:14
Hey, you know what?
15:15
Real quick, one thing.
15:17
We're on Twitter.
15:18
If we wasn't big in the media space,
15:22
I wouldn't be on there as much,
15:22
to be honest.
15:23
I agree.
15:23
I agree, a hundred percent.
15:25
I actually hate being on
15:27
there as much as I'm on there.
15:29
I hate it.
15:29
Like, we have to be on there.
15:31
Yeah, we have to be like,
15:32
we low-key have to be on there.
15:33
Like,
15:34
the Twitter news is before news on TV,
15:36
damn near.
15:37
So it's like, we...
15:38
We have to be there.
15:41
Shit be coming out on Instagram.
15:42
Don't try Facebook.
15:43
We have that shit weeks before that.
15:46
We're going to start with the portal.
15:50
The portal is closed.
15:52
I remember somebody was
15:52
asking us and I think Nick didn't answer.
15:56
The shit is closed.
15:56
People can just take their time.
15:58
I don't think it's a
15:58
deadline that you got to pick a team.
16:00
I'm sure it is.
16:01
It's not a deadline.
16:02
It's just a deadline at the
16:04
end of the portal.
16:06
I knew that.
16:08
Okay, okay.
16:09
Well, we're going to start with Malaysia.
16:13
Malaysia, first of all, it took so long.
16:15
And behind the scenes,
16:19
us networking and knowing
16:20
different people,
16:21
we kind of knew what was going on.
16:22
We just had to wait for it
16:23
to be announced.
16:23
And it's like, we kind of knew...
16:26
for a couple of weeks that
16:27
that's probably where she's
16:28
going to end up going.
16:29
And the think pieces y'all
16:31
have on Twitter about why
16:32
she left and y'all are way off.
16:35
We're not going to get into
16:37
all the particulars,
16:38
but y'all are way off about it.
16:39
But I'm seeing a lot of
16:41
people different how they
16:43
feel about LSU and Malaysia going there.
16:46
It's kind of the same thing
16:47
that she left from.
16:48
I don't know.
16:49
I don't know.
16:51
It just seems like the same.
16:53
It's the same thing.
16:54
She's not going to start.
16:57
She's probably going to start.
16:58
Oh, she's going to start?
16:59
She's probably going to start.
17:00
She's going to start?
17:01
They're going to run a three-guard lineup.
17:04
Oh, I was just saying, okay, okay, okay.
17:07
Technically,
17:08
last year they ran a three-guard lineup.
17:09
They had an actual point guard, though.
17:11
This year they don't have an
17:12
actual point guard.
17:13
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:14
So since you are going,
17:15
so how do you feel about it?
17:15
I'm going to be very careful
17:19
with my words.
17:21
which I never am.
17:26
She's rubbing her chin and shit.
17:27
I'm just trying to be
17:29
very... I want to start off
17:29
by saying that this is her
17:32
life and her decision,
17:33
so I'm supportive in
17:35
whatever decision she feels
17:36
like is best for her life.
17:39
From a basketball standpoint,
17:40
because this is what we do here,
17:41
we critique basketball on this podcast.
17:44
From a basketball standpoint,
17:47
I'm intrigued with her going to LSU.
17:50
Do I think she will get better at LSU?
17:52
No.
17:53
So I'm intrigued because
17:58
when you compare Kim and
18:00
Dawn's coaching styles,
18:05
Kim Mulkey allows players
18:07
to do a little bit more
18:08
freestyling on the court.
18:09
Like she allows them a
18:10
little bit more and one mixtape wild.
18:13
I can do whatever I want to
18:14
do as long as the ball goes
18:15
in the basket.
18:16
Whereas Dawn...
18:17
structure because don is
18:18
trying to prepare folk for
18:20
the next level right and so
18:23
like don is purposely
18:27
identifying the players
18:28
weaknesses and then
18:29
attempting to improve those
18:32
weaknesses so they can be
18:33
ready for the draft um and
18:34
so in my opinion that's
18:35
what she was doing with um
18:37
lay and I think that um
18:41
Lay just didn't have any more patience.
18:43
People got in her ear.
18:44
And I know that for a fact.
18:45
So people can tell me what
18:46
they want to tell me.
18:47
But I know for a fact that
18:48
people got in her ear.
18:50
And, you know,
18:52
people hear outside noise
18:54
and they move based on, you know,
18:56
pressures of outside noise
18:59
and things of that nature.
19:00
So anyway...
19:03
I don't think it's going to work,
19:05
and I don't think it's
19:06
going to work because it's
19:07
kind of the same situation
19:08
with Haley Van Lift.
19:09
Haley Van Lift is not a point guard.
19:11
She's a shooting guard.
19:12
They brought her in and
19:13
tried to put her in the
19:14
point guard position,
19:15
and you can't do that.
19:16
You can't just pick players
19:17
and plug them into a
19:17
position when that's not their strength.
19:19
Leigh is not a point guard.
19:21
So who is running point guard?
19:22
MK is not running point guard.
19:24
Yeah.
19:25
Maybe Flage is running point guard,
19:26
but that wouldn't make
19:27
sense because at the next level,
19:28
she's going to be a shooting guard.
19:29
So why would you have her go
19:30
run point guard when she's
19:31
going to be a shooting
19:32
guard at the next level?
19:33
So I'm just trying to figure
19:35
out who's bringing the ball up.
19:36
When it's pressure and when
19:38
teams like Tennessee are pressing you,
19:41
who's going to handle that ball?
19:42
Like,
19:43
who's the person that's going to do that?
19:44
And if MK, Four, and Leigh are starting,
19:50
who's the one that's
19:51
handling the pressure with the ball?
19:52
We already saw Leigh's
19:54
playmaking and her decision-making.
19:56
Like,
19:56
we already saw her basketball IQ on
19:58
display, which needs improvement.
20:00
So...
20:02
Unless you're willing to
20:03
punt the whole season away
20:04
and let her figure it out on the fly,
20:06
I just don't see it working
20:08
in regards to them winning
20:09
the national championship.
20:12
Do I think that they'll have
20:13
a superb regular season?
20:14
Yes.
20:15
Because, again, they play.
20:17
We're not going to really
20:18
see how this team meshes
20:20
until we get into SEC play
20:22
or tournament play.
20:23
We're not going to we're
20:24
literally not going to see
20:25
how they truly look until
20:26
we get into that play.
20:28
So do I feel like they'll
20:30
blow teams out by thirty
20:31
and forty in a regular season?
20:33
Absolutely.
20:33
And do I feel like people
20:34
are going to be very high
20:36
on them because they're
20:37
blowing out these these mid teams?
20:39
Absolutely.
20:39
But I I can't really judge
20:42
until I see them in a tournament.
20:46
That's fair.
20:46
I mean, that's a fair assessment.
20:48
You know what I'm saying?
20:49
People just going off the
20:50
deep end with things.
20:52
Go ahead, Nick.
20:53
First of all, real quick.
20:54
Basketball, no matter what level,
20:56
you need a point guard.
20:58
Ask the Phoenix Suns.
20:59
They've been looking for a
21:00
point guard for three years.
21:01
You know what I'm saying?
21:03
No matter what level, men or women,
21:05
you need a point guard.
21:06
You need somebody to control things.
21:08
You know what I'm saying?
21:09
The point guard by committee,
21:11
that shit rarely works.
21:12
Hold on, I forgot one more thing.
21:13
I want to add one more piece.
21:15
And the thing also with them
21:17
potentially trying to make
21:19
Leia point guard,
21:19
you would be taking away
21:20
from her scoring opportunities,
21:22
and that's where she's special,
21:23
her ability to score.
21:25
So if she has the ball in her hands more,
21:29
her ability to score is
21:30
going to decrease because
21:31
she has to find players, you know,
21:32
make sure they're in their
21:33
right positions and everything like that.
21:35
So that's going to be very interesting.
21:36
All right, Nick, what you got?
21:40
Just laugh, Nick.
21:43
oh man my biggest thing
21:46
about this whole thing is
21:49
money talks yeah that is
21:54
facts especially coming to
21:55
lsu boy exactly they
21:58
they'll open up the bank
21:59
foot just about everybody
22:01
at this point I mean you
22:02
got to look at it you got
22:03
to look at how angel reese
22:04
capitalized off of nio
22:07
deals out there flage the same way
22:10
when he talked at the end of the day,
22:11
but from a basketball standpoint,
22:13
I love Malaysia,
22:14
but I don't love the move.
22:17
I just don't think LSU is the right fit.
22:19
Just my personal opinion.
22:20
I mean,
22:21
I felt like if you were considering
22:22
a team like LSU respectfully, and I mean,
22:24
I give a lot of respect to
22:25
LSU because I mean,
22:26
they are one of the
22:26
contending teams in the country,
22:28
but if you're going to go there, honestly,
22:30
then you could have just
22:31
stayed at South Carolina.
22:32
That's just my two cents, but Hey,
22:34
who knows?
22:34
Maybe,
22:35
maybe she didn't like Don
22:37
the way that Don was
22:38
coaching her maybe there
22:39
was something that happened
22:40
behind the scenes and
22:40
everything because you know
22:42
it's so funny like Don's
22:43
been on a blocking spree
22:44
because people been asking
22:47
her why she hasn't
22:48
addressed Malaysia like she
22:50
doesn't have to do anything
22:51
honestly I mean Malaysia's
22:53
not on her team anymore if
22:54
she doesn't want to address
22:55
it she don't want to
22:55
address it you know what I
22:56
mean that's I don't know it
22:57
was just funny to me but
23:00
I've already voiced my
23:00
opinion several times on
23:01
especially on the timeline but
23:04
I thought the best coach for
23:05
her was Dawn Staley because like Lo said,
23:07
I mean,
23:07
Dawn is going to try to prepare
23:09
you obviously for the pro level.
23:11
And we all,
23:11
we obviously know that Malaysia,
23:13
even as spectacular of a
23:14
player that she really is, you know,
23:16
there's still a lot of areas in her game,
23:17
in her game that need growth.
23:19
I mean,
23:19
I think she needs to be a better
23:20
playmaker, a better all around score,
23:22
a better decision maker,
23:24
especially a better defender as well.
23:26
So even as talented as she is,
23:28
and I know that people look
23:29
at the highlight reels and
23:30
everything and thinking, Oh,
23:30
she could be bigger and,
23:32
being at another school,
23:33
but she's not going to get
23:34
that same coaching in my opinion,
23:36
you know, playing at any other level.
23:37
So I just don't know how
23:39
it's going to really work
23:39
at LSU because like we said, I mean,
23:41
they don't have a point guard.
23:42
So what are you going to do?
23:42
You're going to have
23:43
Malaysia run the point guard.
23:44
I don't think that's her play style.
23:45
Just my opinion.
23:47
Same thing.
23:47
What's her name?
23:47
Dave Wilson.
23:48
Isn't she still there?
23:51
She might be still there.
23:52
I don't know if she graduated or not,
23:53
but if that's the case, then,
23:55
but the thing about it,
23:56
how are you going to start
23:57
all three of them?
23:57
Exactly.
23:58
Yeah.
23:59
Yeah.
24:00
somebody's going to have to
24:01
make some sacrifice, honestly, but I mean,
24:03
obviously lay has a history
24:05
of coming off the bench.
24:05
So maybe she might want to
24:07
come off the bench again, who knows,
24:08
honestly, but overall, um,
24:11
I do wish Malaysia the best, um, you know,
24:15
I mean, very spectacular player.
24:16
Uh,
24:17
it seemed like she wanted to do
24:18
something different in her
24:19
college career that could
24:20
help her get to another
24:21
level individually.
24:22
But I don't know.
24:24
I'm just not big on the move.
24:25
Honestly, you know, what's so funny too,
24:26
is like, I see so many people, um,
24:29
especially LSU fans,
24:30
talking about how they're, like,
24:32
the best in the SEC.
24:33
And I'm thinking, like,
24:34
y'all haven't beat South Carolina in,
24:35
like, three, four years, honestly.
24:38
Like, I'm just speaking the facts.
24:39
I'm not even trying to, like,
24:40
be biased or anything.
24:42
Better watch out,
24:42
because Camilla was talking facts,
24:43
and they went crazy.
24:44
Yeah, she was.
24:46
But, I mean, let's just be real.
24:47
Like,
24:47
how can y'all be at the top of the
24:49
SEC now and stuff like that?
24:50
But, overall, I think it'll be fun,
24:51
though.
24:52
I think LSU-South Carolina,
24:53
the first matchup's going
24:54
to be really fun.
24:55
Obviously, you'll get those matchups.
24:57
You'll get Flaje against Tenaya.
24:58
You'll get
24:59
malaysia against raven or
25:00
whoever uh so it'll be
25:03
interesting though but I
25:03
just I'm really interested
25:04
to see how this works out
25:06
with that core three group
25:07
in lsu flage malaysia and
25:10
mckayla williams when is
25:14
the first game that's what
25:15
we need to not need that's
25:16
that's gonna be interesting
25:17
it's gonna it's like it'll
25:19
be sometime like january I
25:20
think that the timeline
25:21
gonna be insane the fans
25:24
people already arguing of
25:25
course about it but
25:26
It's just unfortunate that
25:28
she ended up leaving.
25:29
I do think, you know,
25:30
especially nowadays with
25:32
everybody on Twitter,
25:33
I do think that the noise got to her.
25:37
People have been talking
25:38
about she need to – excuse me,
25:39
they've been talking about
25:40
she need to transfer all year.
25:42
She need to transfer.
25:42
She need to transfer.
25:43
And then when Tanai gets there,
25:45
it's like they ramped that shit up.
25:47
The pitch for committee came out, boy.
25:50
They came out trying for her to do it,
25:51
and they got their wish.
25:53
They got up out of there.
25:54
I don't think –
25:55
But just imagine how we see
25:57
the tweets and stuff like that.
25:58
Imagine them.
25:59
Imagine what these players see.
26:01
So it's no way when people say, oh,
26:02
she didn't see it.
26:03
It's bullshit.
26:03
She saw it.
26:05
Or her mom saw it,
26:05
because her mom be on Twitter, too.
26:07
So someone saw all of this stuff.
26:08
And eventually,
26:09
when you keep hearing stuff,
26:10
and we got to also just keep in mind,
26:13
these are kids at the end of the day.
26:14
Kids, children.
26:16
So they don't have life
26:19
experience and discernment
26:21
and all of that yet.
26:22
Like they listen,
26:23
like their people around
26:26
them heavily influence their decisions.
26:28
You know what I'm saying?
26:28
And so when you just hear
26:30
over and over for the last two years,
26:31
you need to transfer.
26:32
Don's not doing right by you.
26:34
It's no way no one can tell
26:35
me that that did not creep
26:36
in her head a little bit.
26:37
It's no way nobody can tell you that.
26:40
Especially if she's really
26:41
on social media.
26:41
I don't know how much she is
26:42
on social media,
26:43
but I'm sure that she saw a lot of it.
26:44
Everyone's on social media.
26:46
You ain't got to be on social media a lot.
26:47
Even my grandma, she's on Facebook.
26:51
Everybody is on social media.
26:53
Everybody is.
26:55
And she's a Gen Z-er,
26:56
so she's definitely on social media.
26:57
Yeah.
26:59
And listen,
26:59
she ain't got to be active to
27:00
search her name.
27:01
She can go in there and search her name.
27:03
Listen,
27:03
we all three of us experienced this.
27:05
Like,
27:05
we got players or coaches like a
27:08
tweet weeks later.
27:10
Months later,
27:10
because you can clearly see them.
27:13
Shout out Coach O. They
27:14
definitely be going through
27:16
there looking at stuff.
27:17
So they see this stuff.
27:19
You cannot, like Lowe said,
27:20
you cannot tell me.
27:22
She's not over here searching her name.
27:24
You cannot tell me.
27:25
And honestly,
27:25
she don't even got to search her name.
27:27
If you search South Carolina,
27:28
that's what come up.
27:29
Yes.
27:30
Yeah, that's true.
27:30
South Carolina, your name.
27:32
And honestly,
27:33
if she finds a way to be in these spaces,
27:35
too, she might be in there anonymously.
27:37
We don't even know.
27:38
Right.
27:38
You just don't know.
27:40
Everybody can have a burner.
27:41
You know what I'm saying?
27:41
You just don't know.
27:42
So I'm sure the chatter got there.
27:44
And listen, if it ain't her,
27:46
it could be a friend.
27:47
It's a cousin.
27:48
It's somebody who's like, you see this?
27:50
They saying this.
27:51
What you think?
27:52
And you keep getting that all the time.
27:54
So you never know.
27:55
You need the right people in your circle,
27:56
honestly, man.
27:57
You need people who are
27:58
going to make the right
27:59
decisions for you.
28:00
And some of the things that
28:01
we've heard about, I mean,
28:03
I don't really want to get into that,
28:05
but some things that we
28:05
heard about our mom, honestly,
28:08
I don't know.
28:08
I don't know what's true, what's not true,
28:10
but you got to have the
28:11
right people around you who
28:12
are going to make the best
28:13
decision for you,
28:14
not decisions just financially.
28:17
Especially nowadays, like you said, NIL,
28:19
and like their children, nineteen.
28:22
years old man like these are
28:24
life changing decisions you
28:26
know what I'm saying so
28:26
it's like you have to have
28:28
you can't wait to get to
28:29
the league to have the
28:29
right people around you
28:33
because like what may
28:34
happen if like and I mean
28:35
I'm just speaking
28:35
hypothetically but it's
28:36
like what may happen
28:37
honestly like if she
28:38
doesn't have the best year
28:39
at LSU and they get
28:40
bouncing like the sweet
28:41
sixteen or something
28:44
She's going back in the portal.
28:45
She's going right back in
28:48
the portal like Haley did.
28:51
Man, that's... That's, oh, man.
28:56
I mean, if the check cleared,
28:57
maybe she won't go in the portal.
29:00
I don't think LSU check don't clear.
29:01
Okay, did y'all know this?
29:02
What's up, Shante?
29:03
Shante said having solid money.
29:05
Oh, what's happening?
29:06
Shante, what up?
29:07
Now more than ever before.
29:08
Shante has had twenty-one titles as well.
29:10
But anyway...
29:13
It was like,
29:13
now I lost my train of thought.
29:14
Damn it.
29:15
You said, did you see what, damn.
29:19
We were talking about
29:20
Malaysia possibly entering
29:21
the portal again.
29:23
Oh, okay.
29:23
So I saw a podcast with Erica Wheeler.
29:26
I didn't watch the whole thing.
29:27
Erica Wheeler and Lexi Brown.
29:28
It was just like this.
29:30
And I didn't realize that
29:31
with the transfer portal,
29:33
the commitments or the
29:35
contracts are free flowing
29:37
for the student athletes.
29:40
So let me give you an example.
29:42
So it's a figure that's going around.
29:45
People are allegedly saying
29:46
Leigh got one point five
29:47
million from from LSU.
29:49
Right.
29:50
So if she plays good at the
29:52
end of the season,
29:53
she can tell them like next
29:55
year I want two million type of thing.
29:56
You don't say like she can.
29:57
pretty much try to negotiate
30:00
her contract with them.
30:01
And I didn't realize that it
30:02
was like that.
30:02
I thought it was like a
30:03
fixed type of deal.
30:05
But they said middle of the season,
30:07
somebody could be just
30:07
going off playing well,
30:08
and they can come and try
30:09
to renegotiate their contract.
30:10
I didn't know that.
30:11
Pretty much like Nico.
30:13
Yeah, I was about to say like football.
30:14
Yeah.
30:14
I didn't know that student
30:17
athletes had that ability, though.
30:20
Because if they do that,
30:22
then you really have the
30:23
university and the coach by the balls.
30:25
You do.
30:26
That's what happened to old boy Nico,
30:28
like Wally just said,
30:29
with Tennessee football,
30:30
and he just left to go to UCLA.
30:31
Man.
30:33
But he wasn't that good, but it's a damn.
30:36
It's a wild west, though, with this shit.
30:38
You just never know.
30:39
Oh, my God.
30:44
Hey, best of luck to her out there, man.
30:46
You got your bread.
30:48
You know what I'm saying?
30:49
And for people always asking,
30:51
she can definitely still wear Currys.
30:53
You don't have to stop
30:54
wearing her under armor
30:55
sneakers I've seen.
30:57
And I also just want to
30:58
throw this out there too.
30:59
She will probably average
31:00
between fifteen and twenty
31:01
two points next year
31:03
because she's averaging that.
31:04
That does not mean she got better.
31:05
I just want to throw that
31:06
out there because I already
31:07
know the time I was going to be like, man,
31:09
see, she was on the bench.
31:10
She could have been averaging twenty five.
31:12
But it's her defense better.
31:13
It's her playmaking better.
31:15
Like,
31:15
is her overall shooting percentage
31:17
better?
31:18
Like,
31:18
those are the things that we need to
31:19
look at,
31:19
not the fact that she could just
31:21
go out and score twenty points.
31:22
We know that she can do that.
31:24
She's a very gifted scorer.
31:25
Like,
31:26
that's one of the things that she can do.
31:28
But is she getting better?
31:29
And that's what I want people to look at.
31:30
But I already know how the
31:31
timeline goes because
31:32
they're so uneducated.
31:34
Don had all this.
31:35
Don had all this on the bench.
31:36
She she got she's scoring
31:38
twenty points now.
31:39
We already know she can score.
31:40
She can score since AAU.
31:41
That is not what she needs
31:43
to be working on.
31:44
Like, please.
31:47
People don't watch hoops.
31:50
If I say everybody on my ass,
31:51
but you know how that goes.
31:54
Well, if I say it,
31:55
people are making fake
31:56
Twitters and impersonating me.
31:58
Oh, my God.
31:59
Yeah, y'all weirdos, man.
32:00
I'm pretty sure it's somebody who know us.
32:02
Not know us, but you know what I'm saying?
32:04
I know you out there.
32:05
You probably following the
32:06
show or some shit.
32:07
You out here making a burner right now.
32:08
Yeah, you probably watching it right now.
32:11
I know how this shit go, man.
32:12
And the funny part is I
32:14
didn't want to give them this.
32:15
I didn't even want to give
32:16
them the time of day to
32:17
tweet about them because I
32:18
know that's what people thrive on.
32:19
But I had at least no last
32:21
six or seven people hit my DM like,
32:24
Yo, like, you good?
32:25
Like, and I'm like, what you mean?
32:27
And they send me tweets, and I'm like, oh,
32:28
bro, that ain't me at all.
32:32
Like, so, yeah.
32:33
Yo,
32:33
I saw a tweet before you even sent it
32:34
to the group chat,
32:35
but I had to click on it.
32:36
I had to click on it.
32:36
I'm like, yo, what the?
32:38
Oh, this is fake.
32:38
It was like all these Trump tweets.
32:41
Yeah.
32:41
I said, oh, no.
32:45
Let's say it just came through.
32:46
Yeah, Tom, find our address.
32:47
I'll leak that shit.
32:47
I don't care.
32:48
Oh, my God.
32:51
Oh, my God.
32:52
Let's move on.
32:54
Best luck to you, Malaysia.
32:56
Real quick, I forgot.
32:57
I should have practiced
32:59
saying her last name, but Medina.
33:01
How do you say her last name?
33:04
I thought it was Okot.
33:05
Am I not saying it right?
33:06
Okot?
33:06
Is it Okot?
33:07
I don't know.
33:07
Am I not saying it right?
33:08
Well, she's going to South Carolina.
33:10
That's a big move for South Carolina.
33:14
Who else left and went somewhere?
33:17
London Jones went to Tennessee.
33:20
That's a big move.
33:21
That is a big move.
33:22
London Jones, USC.
33:24
London Jones went down the street.
33:29
Yeah, I didn't like it.
33:30
Literally down the street.
33:31
Literally what she did.
33:32
How do y'all feel about that?
33:33
She went from the valley to the hood.
33:35
How do y'all feel about that
33:39
when you have a rivalry and
33:40
then you go to that,
33:41
you transfer to that school?
33:42
How do y'all feel about that?
33:43
Damn, Tom.
33:48
I mean, you know, to me,
33:51
if she was a bigger player,
33:52
I think it would have.
33:55
But she was getting cooked, though.
33:56
She be getting cooked in this rivalry.
33:59
I got to go.
34:00
I can't keep guards, you damn.
34:03
Corey got me fucked up out here.
34:03
Got me on an island and shit.
34:05
You know what?
34:05
That's not even her fault.
34:06
That's Corey's fault.
34:10
It wasn't.
34:11
It wasn't.
34:19
And I get it.
34:20
She's that best perimeter defender,
34:21
but baby, damn it.
34:22
Send a doctor.
34:22
Yeah,
34:22
she was on an island for a whole half,
34:24
yo.
34:25
But, I mean, you know,
34:27
I know a lot of people
34:28
don't like that shit.
34:28
Especially don't like that
34:29
shit in pro sports.
34:31
They don't like that shit.
34:31
I don't know.
34:33
I don't know too much.
34:34
Because now we're going to
34:36
start seeing it more
34:36
because of the portal.
34:38
And we wasn't seeing it happen that much,
34:39
you know, before.
34:40
But, I mean, I guess it makes for better.
34:44
If, say, like...
34:45
Lauren Betts went to USC.
34:47
I think it would be a bigger
34:47
thing than London.
34:49
Oh, absolutely.
34:50
You know what I'm saying?
34:52
But that would be nuts.
34:53
Could you imagine that?
34:54
Oh, my God.
34:54
That would be insane.
34:55
That's a national championship.
34:56
National championship.
34:57
That's a national championship.
34:58
And Jazzy there?
34:59
Oh, national championship.
35:00
National championship.
35:05
Yeah, yeah.
35:06
But, see, I know people like to do, like,
35:08
the KD stuff.
35:09
Like, he didn't go to his – I mean,
35:10
I guess it was a rival kind of thing.
35:12
But, honestly, I don't care.
35:15
But I think Malaysia pretty
35:17
much going to their rival
35:18
is a – that's – you know what I'm saying?
35:21
But she went to where the money was, so –
35:24
I don't know.
35:25
It's London Jones.
35:26
I don't even think she,
35:27
how much is she going to help them?
35:28
They need bodies, I guess.
35:29
I think, I think she'll help them.
35:32
I think she's a solid role player.
35:34
I mean, she is, especially at her size.
35:36
Honestly,
35:37
I know that she can't really
35:37
guard the big defenders,
35:38
but she can be a really
35:39
good perimeter defender at times.
35:41
And on top of that, you know,
35:41
she can knock down shots too.
35:43
So, I mean, I know a lot of people,
35:45
what's that?
35:46
Can she knock down the big shot?
35:48
No, I mean, not big shot,
35:49
but she can make shots.
35:50
She can, she can.
35:52
She can make shots, but, um,
35:54
Honestly, I mean,
35:55
I know people don't have a
35:56
lot of high expectations
35:57
with USC next year, obviously,
35:58
because it's usually going to be out,
35:59
but I like the roster, honestly.
36:02
I mean, I still think they could add some,
36:05
obviously, they can get a big,
36:06
they can still use some additions, but
36:08
I mean, when you look at, like,
36:09
the guard and wings, I'm a fan.
36:11
I agree.
36:12
I think the guard and wings
36:13
are solid enough to get
36:14
them to compete in the Big Ten.
36:16
But I think they need bigs.
36:19
I don't know any bigs that they have.
36:21
Like, I haven't seen them.
36:24
I don't know.
36:25
I don't know.
36:26
It's like, what,
36:27
fifteen hundred people
36:27
still in there or something?
36:28
Fourteen hundred?
36:29
Fourteen?
36:30
Yes.
36:30
A lot of people.
36:32
A lot of people.
36:33
Felicia, who do you mean?
36:34
You said, how do you feel about her?
36:35
Who are we talking about?
36:36
But as far as-
36:40
As far as my opinion in
36:42
regards to people joining
36:43
their rival teams, I hate it, actually.
36:46
I'm not going to hold you.
36:47
I hate it.
36:47
And I'm just a competitor at heart.
36:49
No, I hear you.
36:50
I want to win at everything I do.
36:52
And if it's beef, then it's always beef.
36:54
You know what I'm saying?
36:55
I'm not going to my rival team.
36:57
Now, I get it.
36:58
It's a different era.
36:59
So when money talks,
37:00
Laura will be walking too.
37:02
So I get it.
37:03
But it's just different.
37:05
I couldn't imagine going to
37:07
one of my rival schools.
37:08
You know what I'm saying?
37:09
I couldn't imagine it.
37:11
Life is just different.
37:12
Yes,
37:13
it's a whole different crop of hoopers
37:15
anyway.
37:17
Yeah, life is different.
37:20
Life different.
37:21
A lot of these players, I'm on LSU,
37:23
I'm trying to smoke.
37:24
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
37:26
No, one thousand percent.
37:30
Let me tell you something real quick.
37:32
A lot of people don't know I
37:33
play in a competitive softball league,
37:34
right?
37:35
This dude left our team.
37:37
He went to the team that
37:39
beat us in the championship
37:40
the next year.
37:42
You hear me?
37:42
I haven't talked to this man since.
37:44
That was like five years ago.
37:48
I don't even get – I had him
37:49
with one of these if I see
37:50
him at the field.
37:50
I ain't got nothing to talk to you about,
37:52
man.
37:52
You left.
37:54
so I feel you I I ain't with
37:56
that I I definitely feel
37:57
like the enemy dog like
37:58
what you're doing it's
37:59
smoke forever because now
38:01
because now you know what
38:03
because I I think it's
38:04
because I'm a tourist and
38:06
we like are very big on
38:07
like loyalty and so like
38:10
when you leave like that
38:11
now I'm looking at you
38:12
sideways like what other
38:14
kind of loyalty stuff you
38:15
okay with you know going you
38:17
feel me?
38:18
Yes, I'm with you on that.
38:20
I don't play about that.
38:21
I don't play about that.
38:22
Felicia was asking me about... Oh,
38:24
Shauntay, I forgot he was a Taurate girl.
38:27
Felicia was asking me about London.
38:29
Uh...
38:31
I think it's a good pickup for USC.
38:33
I think they need her,
38:34
especially because Juju is out.
38:36
Like Nick said, I think that, you know,
38:38
we know that she can shoot the three.
38:41
She's a senior.
38:42
So they need that veteran
38:43
leadership on that team because low key,
38:46
it's a very young team.
38:47
Like it's, they're a very young team.
38:49
So they need that leadership.
38:51
And I don't know.
38:52
I mean, I think she's a decent defender.
38:54
Like she's,
38:54
she was UCLA's best permanent defender.
38:57
She just undersized.
38:59
That is true, though.
39:02
I think it's a good sign-in for them.
39:03
I think that they also signed Cara Dunn,
39:06
who is from Georgia Tech,
39:07
who's a good guard.
39:08
I think she averaged last year.
39:11
And then they still got Kennedy.
39:13
And like I said, way too early prediction.
39:18
Jazzy Davidson, freshman of the year.
39:20
Jazzy.
39:22
Jazzy.
39:22
Right now she's looking like it.
39:24
She's looking like the best one right now.
39:26
I know, I know, I know, Leah Chavez.
39:28
I know, I know, I know, I know.
39:29
The city of Norman, but guess what?
39:31
My man.
39:34
Coach G completely got
39:35
something with Jazzy, bro.
39:37
She different.
39:38
Wait till she put a little
39:39
bit of weight on her.
39:40
For her and Juju and Kennedy, oh, my gosh.
39:42
I can't wait.
39:42
I can't wait, y'all.
39:43
I can't wait.
39:45
Listen.
39:46
I need Jazzy to not transfer.
39:48
Hold tight.
39:49
Please hold tight.
39:50
Hold tight.
39:52
I think she's going to stay there.
39:54
Amen.
39:54
You just sense the solidness.
39:56
Yes.
39:57
Man, listen,
39:58
when Lowe was telling us about her.
39:59
Yes.
39:59
I'm pretty sure that's why
40:00
she decided to go there.
40:01
Yeah.
40:01
So now you got to stay in
40:03
order to play with you.
40:03
I ain't going to lie.
40:04
I'm looking at a lot of
40:04
these kids sideways that left you.
40:06
But it's all good.
40:15
It's all good.
40:16
It's all good.
40:16
We're going to see it.
40:17
It's going to be fun.
40:17
All right.
40:18
We don't want too much.
40:19
Who else we got?
40:20
Anything else in the portal?
40:21
Oh, I don't know.
40:22
How y'all like Jeremiah
40:22
Barker's Tennessee?
40:23
Tennessee.
40:26
I like it.
40:26
Get in shape.
40:28
If you're not already, get right now.
40:30
Right now.
40:30
Get in shape right now.
40:31
If she's starting right now,
40:34
she's too late.
40:34
Yeah.
40:34
Yeah.
40:35
The way that we run it,
40:35
if sister's starting right now,
40:39
she's too late.
40:39
Right now.
40:40
Right now.
40:40
Felicia Jazzy is a who am I.
40:41
I saw her do this cross-court pass.
40:43
I was locked in from the jump.
40:44
Ever since Jay saw that...
40:48
So, yeah.
40:52
And I believe it was the offhand, too.
40:53
I think it was the offhand, too.
40:55
I said.
40:55
She a lefty, though.
40:58
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
40:58
She a lefty.
41:00
She a lefty.
41:00
Hey, man, I said, hold the hell up.
41:02
You don't be in high school?
41:03
I don't know.
41:05
It's on the man, please.
41:06
The person even had to move.
41:07
So, I was like, I was locked in there.
41:08
Listen, don't get us started.
41:09
We can talk about Jazzy.
41:09
Yeah, yeah.
41:12
Before we move on to the W.
41:15
Just to sound like Janiyah for a second,
41:18
I like the move, honestly.
41:20
I even spoke about it maybe
41:21
a couple weeks ago.
41:23
I just felt like she wasn't
41:24
utilized correctly at UCLA,
41:25
and obviously that wasn't
41:27
going to be the case,
41:27
especially when you have
41:28
Lauren Best playing next to
41:29
you on the frontcourt.
41:30
I mean,
41:30
you're going to have to utilize
41:31
that big body any day of the week,
41:33
honestly.
41:33
So I think her in Tennessee would be good.
41:35
I really want to see how Kim
41:37
can unlock her full potential, honestly,
41:38
because even before she got to UCLA,
41:41
I think Janiyah Bark was
41:42
obviously one of the best
41:43
players in the SEC.
41:44
Now, all of a sudden,
41:45
she's going back to the conference.
41:46
So SEC loaded, man.
41:48
It's really loaded.
41:49
But I do want to see how Kim
41:50
can really unlock her
41:51
potential because she's a
41:52
really talented player.
41:53
Would you take your chance
41:55
on a fairly new coach when
41:57
this is your last year and
41:58
you are going to the WNBA next year?
42:01
Because how do we know that
42:02
she can develop?
42:03
I wouldn't from a basketball standpoint,
42:05
but.
42:07
I just literally randomly
42:08
thought about that because I'm like, damn,
42:10
she is going to the league
42:11
next year possibly.
42:12
But is she going to get
42:13
better in this time frame?
42:14
Do they have any more years
42:15
after this one?
42:16
I don't think so, right?
42:17
Man, I don't ever know.
42:18
I never know if people got years or not.
42:21
No more, man.
42:21
I don't know.
42:22
I think after this class,
42:23
isn't the COVID years done?
42:25
I think this is the last class.
42:26
I thought it would be the last.
42:28
I can't believe we're still
42:29
talking about COVID years, yo.
42:30
Right.
42:32
Oh, my God.
42:33
Yeah.
42:34
Right.
42:35
they make nick age hooping
42:37
in college and shit older
42:38
than me shit god damn oh
42:43
have we seen take this risk
42:45
when you go into a new team
42:46
your senior year that
42:48
doesn't with a coach that
42:49
doesn't have a ton of
42:49
experience I don't know oh
42:55
you stumped me nathan
42:57
He's basically asking, like,
42:58
how many players have we
43:00
seen take this risk, like,
43:01
for them to go to another team,
43:04
like a whole new team their
43:05
senior year with a coach
43:06
that hasn't really, you know,
43:09
it's not a Hall of Famer coach.
43:10
Like,
43:11
she hasn't shown that she can develop
43:13
talent at the WNBA level.
43:14
Yeah,
43:15
because it's not even really her squad.
43:18
Right.
43:19
These aren't even teams that
43:20
she's recruiting.
43:21
Yeah, so, man.
43:22
The thing about it is that, like,
43:22
that clearly don't matter
43:23
either because people are
43:24
leaving experienced coaches.
43:26
facts.
43:29
Clock it.
43:29
What do the kids do?
43:30
Hey,
43:33
somebody did put this emoji on one of
43:35
my tweets.
43:36
I said, excuse me,
43:37
I don't know what that means.
43:40
Help me.
43:40
Help your uncle out.
43:41
I don't know what this means.
43:43
Clock it.
43:44
Okay, now I know.
43:44
I had no idea.
43:45
Detroit won?
43:46
Oh my God.
43:47
They just won.
43:50
But also, real quick,
43:51
we got to talk about this, man.
43:52
Kill me, Miller.
43:54
Penn State.
43:55
How we feeling about that?
43:58
Parents.
43:59
Parents.
44:00
I'm going to talk to the parents.
44:03
Stay out of kids' business, man,
44:04
when they're doing shit like this, man.
44:07
Stay out of it.
44:09
Like,
44:10
I'm looking at her dad.
44:12
I'm looking at her dad
44:13
sitting next to her doing
44:16
these press conferences.
44:17
He's just looking like, yeah.
44:18
He's not looking like a dad.
44:20
He's looking like somebody
44:21
along for the ride.
44:23
You know what I'm saying?
44:25
I just don't like it.
44:27
I just don't like it at all.
44:29
People got to learn how to play their role,
44:31
Jay.
44:33
Say what now?
44:34
I said people got to learn
44:35
how to play their role in
44:36
certain situations.
44:37
They do, but he's not doing it.
44:38
Not her ass at Penn State.
44:41
That went one for seventeen
44:42
in the conference last year.
44:46
But then she made a comment
44:48
about she wants to win and
44:50
she might have read the wrong way.
44:54
That's why I'm really... Okay,
44:56
that wasn't her dad.
44:57
Okay,
44:57
but I will say her dad is definitely
45:03
not being a dad in this situation.
45:07
For sure.
45:08
Because when your daughter
45:09
is acting like she's acting
45:11
and doing the stuff she's doing,
45:15
he not being a dad.
45:16
Didn't they say she wasn't
45:17
going to enter the portal?
45:19
Yeah, so I'll take that back.
45:21
I want her dad sitting there.
45:22
I'm glad.
45:23
I'm glad I don't want her dad.
45:25
I'm so glad.
45:26
I'm so glad it's not her dad.
45:28
He don't need to be there.
45:30
He don't need to be there
45:30
either because...
45:32
You know what I'm saying?
45:33
It's just not looking good for her.
45:34
So I'm hoping she gets it right.
45:35
You know what I'm saying?
45:37
But please believe if she
45:38
has a good year at Penn State,
45:39
she will be in the portal again.
45:40
Absolutely.
45:41
I would definitely expect that.
45:45
But it's like we keep reiterating this.
45:46
Like, when you are, like,
45:47
this type of caliber
45:48
athlete and you're playing
45:50
at a Division I level,
45:51
especially when there's, like,
45:52
money involved and there's, like,
45:53
life changes and stuff,
45:54
you've got to have the
45:55
right people around you who
45:56
are going to make the best
45:57
decisions because when you're, like,
46:01
Sometimes you're not going
46:01
to make the best decision of yourself.
46:03
So sometimes you need a second opinion.
46:05
Most times.
46:06
Most times you're not going
46:06
to make the right decision.
46:07
That's what I'm saying.
46:08
But that's why you need a second,
46:10
third opinion on something.
46:11
Somebody with more experience in life.
46:13
But even these other people,
46:15
these older people that are
46:16
in this circle are clearly
46:17
not making the right
46:18
decisions for them either.
46:19
So you got to surround
46:20
yourself with the right people.
46:21
That shit is important,
46:22
especially when you're like
46:23
this high caliber athlete like this.
46:25
And my thing is no tea, no shade.
46:28
Great score.
46:30
but not a great basketball player yet.
46:32
So, you know what I'm saying?
46:34
Like... There's too much
46:36
headache for what you are.
46:37
It's almost like... Who the
46:37
fuck do you think you are?
46:39
You know what I mean?
46:44
That's how coaches gonna look at you.
46:46
That's how coaches gonna look at you.
46:48
What have you done to be
46:49
moving like you Tupac?
46:50
You know what I'm saying?
46:53
Like,
46:54
what have you done to... Running
46:54
around like you Tupac.
46:56
Literally.
46:57
Like, running around like you... Like,
46:58
what have you done?
47:01
Like, now, if somebody, like,
47:02
let's say Juju, Lauren Batts, even Hannah,
47:05
if they was running around like,
47:06
different story.
47:08
Kiyomi, baby, you just got here.
47:09
Just got here.
47:09
You only played half a season.
47:13
At Rutgers.
47:15
And you was nice and all that,
47:17
but y'all weren't winning like that,
47:18
respectfully.
47:20
Man, it's just, I just, I just hate it.
47:21
You went to a team that had
47:22
a worse record than her team's record.
47:24
Yeah, I just, I just hate it, honestly.
47:26
I hate it for,
47:27
because we could see the talent.
47:28
They had a worse record?
47:30
Penn State is horrible, dog.
47:31
Penn State had a worse
47:32
record than the Rutgers.
47:33
Yeah.
47:33
They were literally at the
47:35
bottom of the rankings.
47:37
Yeah, like, come on, man.
47:39
How is that going to help you, though?
47:42
They were one for seventeen
47:44
in conference play.
47:44
They won one game in their conference.
47:47
Who did they beat, Rutgers?
47:48
I don't know.
47:49
It's not enough.
47:50
All right, man.
47:53
I got to know.
47:53
Oh, real quick before we move on.
47:54
What do y'all think, Sarah?
47:55
Is Sarah really – is she going to LSU or –
47:59
I think there's a good
48:01
chance she goes to LSU.
48:03
I would love to hear USC.
48:05
At first,
48:06
I thought she was definitely going to LSU,
48:07
but then they signed Leigh,
48:09
so I'm wondering how much
48:09
money they got left to give her.
48:11
You know the bank is unlimited there,
48:13
but still,
48:13
I don't know how much they're
48:15
willing to give her,
48:16
but a lot of people are
48:17
saying UConn is in the running as well,
48:19
so it's between one of those two.
48:24
All right.
48:25
Go to this W stuff and get
48:27
the hell out of here.
48:29
Training camp open up on Sunday.
48:33
Sunday?
48:34
Sunday?
48:35
Man,
48:35
I was supposed to make a video about it,
48:37
man.
48:37
I just didn't have it.
48:38
I just didn't have it.
48:39
But I got y'all.
48:40
I got a few videos to make
48:41
for the rest of the week,
48:42
but I got y'all.
48:43
But training camp open.
48:46
We told y'all.
48:48
We've been trying to tell
48:49
y'all about the Indiana Fever, man.
48:51
them training camp videos
48:53
yeah this is only training
48:53
camp videos but they're
48:54
looking good I've been I've
48:56
been liking the stuff I've
48:57
been seeing um I just feel
48:59
I feel bad for my home team
49:01
because I see videos from
49:04
other training camps and
49:05
then I see the sky and
49:09
they're looking like being
49:10
in an elementary school gym
49:11
man that's just the wings too
49:14
They have the wings.
49:15
You can tell the poor franchises.
49:19
You can.
49:19
When you see the Aces, the Fever,
49:22
you see teams like that, you be like,
49:25
damn.
49:27
The Liberty, it's just bad.
49:31
Even Minnesota,
49:32
they share with the Timberwolves.
49:34
Minnesota, you know what I'm saying?
49:36
Matter of fact,
49:36
I'm glad you brought them up.
49:37
Love unless you have the floor.
49:39
You know why I'm willing to
49:40
have the floor about Minnesota.
49:41
Yeah, Minnesota.
49:47
Okay.
49:48
I'm not even going to go in, but... Yes,
49:49
the dream, too, Lamar.
49:50
Minnesota,
49:51
like... The fact that Shaw took
49:56
Aubrey Griffin,
49:57
when y'all knew she needed surgery,
49:59
but Diamond Johnson was right there,
50:01
the fucking nerve.
50:02
But I'm glad y'all corrected yourselves.
50:04
I'm glad you corrected yourselves,
50:06
and she's on a training camp contract.
50:08
I swear...
50:10
I swear to every basketball Jesus above,
50:13
she better be on a roster
50:14
starting this season.
50:18
And I don't know why she
50:19
wouldn't make a roster.
50:20
Like,
50:21
I don't know why she wouldn't make
50:21
that roster.
50:22
Like,
50:22
I think it's a good position for her
50:24
to be in at Minnesota.
50:26
You know, great coaching there,
50:28
great atmosphere and just a
50:29
winning atmosphere.
50:30
So I'm glad that they picked her up.
50:32
And so for people saying, like, oh,
50:33
she's not a WBA player, like,
50:35
to be honest, fuck y'all, to be honest.
50:36
Like,
50:37
she's one of the best guards in the
50:38
draft.
50:39
Like, stop it.
50:40
Like, it was all politics.
50:41
They're mad that she went to
50:42
a Black school.
50:43
And, like,
50:43
I just want everybody to just be
50:45
honest for two seconds.
50:46
Like, she was literally a top player.
50:49
A top – a first-rounder.
50:52
Her first two years.
50:53
People predicted this woman
50:55
to go in the first round
50:57
her first two years when
50:58
she was at these P-IV, P-V schools.
51:02
She goes to an HBCU.
51:03
Yes, top seven.
51:04
She goes to an HBCU, dominates in the MEAC,
51:08
wins them a championship,
51:10
wins player of the year,
51:11
wins all these awards,
51:12
but now y'all telling me –
51:15
Right,
51:16
got them to the NCAA tournament and
51:18
cooked in the tournament.
51:20
Literally, not even that.
51:21
Then went over to the women
51:23
that are also the women
51:24
that got drafted above her.
51:26
They were in that little league,
51:27
not a league,
51:27
but they had that game or whatever.
51:29
Cooked all of them in that
51:30
game and hit the game.
51:32
The All-Star game, yeah.
51:33
The All-Star game, yes.
51:34
Cooked them all in that game
51:36
and hit the game,
51:36
but try telling me it's not
51:37
a WNBA player.
51:38
One MVP.
51:38
But it's not a WNBA player.
51:39
All right, bro.
51:42
Go ahead, Nick.
51:47
Oh,
51:47
I'm glad you said it because you know
51:48
how I've been feeling about it.
51:50
Can we go back to the W?
51:51
We're going back to the W?
51:52
All right, cool.
51:54
I'm excited.
51:56
I'm really excited.
51:58
I guess we could speak on a fever.
51:59
We can talk about them first.
52:01
They're going to be scary this year.
52:03
I already tweeted it out.
52:04
I think Kalen Clark's going
52:05
to lead the league in assists,
52:06
which is actually funny.
52:07
You know what's funny is
52:08
like I tweeted that out.
52:09
I had like five, six likes.
52:11
But if I would have said
52:11
Caitlin Clark was going to
52:12
have a terrible season,
52:13
I probably would have had
52:14
like a thousand.
52:14
I got to go turn off my garden.
52:16
I'll be right back.
52:21
But when you talk about the
52:22
additions that they got, Natasha Howard,
52:25
Dawana Bonner, um,
52:27
I know people feel a way
52:28
about Sophie Cunningham,
52:29
but she can knock down the long ball.
52:31
Like when you talk about a lot of these,
52:32
these acquisitions that they got,
52:35
buying that with Caitlin Clark,
52:37
Aaliyah Boston, um,
52:39
Kelsey Mitchell,
52:41
this is arguably going to
52:42
be one of the more talented
52:42
teams in the league this year.
52:44
And I wouldn't be surprised
52:45
if they're at least top two
52:47
or three in scoring because
52:48
they have that much
52:48
firepower on the offensive end.
52:51
I've already been on record
52:52
saying I think they have to
52:54
run things through Aaliyah Boston.
52:55
Maybe not on every possession,
52:57
but definitely swing the
52:59
ball through her on the
52:59
high post and even on the low block,
53:01
honestly,
53:01
because she's very talented in
53:03
the post area, whether it's her patience,
53:05
her footwork.
53:06
ability to read the floor
53:07
you know you know to be
53:08
able to make past like she
53:09
can open up opportunities
53:10
for literally everybody
53:11
just being on that on that
53:13
block area just because of
53:14
how dominant it can be and
53:16
then on top of that you're
53:17
gonna have her lives next
53:18
to caitlyn kelsey dewana
53:20
bonner like come on man
53:22
like I was like we can go
53:23
all day with this honestly
53:24
but the fever I mean I know
53:26
I think low said they were
53:27
gonna be like what top
53:28
three I said top five honestly
53:30
top four or top four top
53:33
four to be safe to be safe
53:35
um it's definitely a
53:35
possibility honestly um I'm
53:38
excited about them vegas I
53:40
know that we have questions
53:42
about vegas and their depth
53:44
and everything but I'm
53:44
gonna say I mean well I'm
53:46
first of all I'm praying
53:47
that harmony turner makes a
53:48
team I think there should
53:48
be a big team if she does
53:51
make that final roster but
53:53
I actually do like the other key vets.
53:55
I think Dana Evans is going
53:56
to have a really good year, honestly,
53:58
if she is utilized correctly.
53:59
Because I think when she is
54:01
used the best way,
54:01
I think Dana could be a
54:02
really great playmaker.
54:03
We obviously know how elite
54:04
of an on-ball defender that she can be.
54:07
But if she is utilized correctly,
54:08
I think that she could be
54:09
really good as well.
54:09
Tiffany Mitchell the same way, honestly.
54:12
But Vegas is always going to
54:13
be in a conversation just
54:14
because they got the best
54:15
player in the world alone.
54:15
And then on top of that,
54:16
you still have the
54:17
acquisition of Jewel Lloyd as well,
54:18
which we're all hoping that
54:19
she has a bounce back year,
54:20
especially after what took
54:21
place last year.
54:22
very underwhelming for her
54:23
to say the least.
54:25
Then you still got the point
54:26
guard that was coming off
54:27
of that on rival championship.
54:28
She's healthy.
54:29
And, but what I saw,
54:30
even in like the training camp videos,
54:31
you know, she's still in that mode.
54:34
So.
54:35
I got to stop you for a second, Nick.
54:37
They told me,
54:39
they told me that she was washed.
54:41
Man,
54:41
they were all in our playback telling
54:43
us that shit, too.
54:43
Like, man,
54:44
they were talking crazy about it.
54:45
They told us that she was no
54:47
longer the Chelsea Gray of old.
54:49
And you know what?
54:51
They fucking lied.
54:52
Because Chelsea's back, okay?
54:54
Chelsea is back.
54:56
That's all I'm going to say.
54:58
Chelsea's back, even aside from unrivaled.
55:01
Like,
55:01
when you're just watching the few
55:03
training camp clips that we're getting,
55:05
the passes, like how locked in she is,
55:08
how she's moving her feet.
55:09
Oh, Chelsea's healthy.
55:10
She's back.
55:12
Bro, the way she was moving last year,
55:14
I'm like, she's not fully healthy.
55:15
And she came out with a quote.
55:17
You can tell when she came back.
55:19
Yeah,
55:20
she came out with a quote in training
55:21
camp.
55:21
And she was like,
55:22
the most exciting part is
55:23
to just be entering
55:24
training camp healthy.
55:26
She was like,
55:26
I had no point in the season
55:27
last year where I was not
55:28
completely healthy.
55:29
And she was moving like that
55:31
in a three-on-three.
55:32
You could tell she was healthy,
55:33
moving like that in a three-on-three.
55:34
Cooking.
55:35
Cooking.
55:35
But go ahead, Nick.
55:37
Exactly.
55:40
What other team can I get into?
55:41
Dallas.
55:42
I like Dallas this year.
55:43
Obviously,
55:44
the backcourt of Paige and Ariki, I think,
55:46
can do a lot of damage.
55:47
But Dallas, I think, can finish,
55:49
if healthy, fully healthy.
55:50
I can pick them finishing top five,
55:53
honestly.
55:53
I think they have that much talent,
55:54
honestly.
55:56
Not even just Paige and Ariki.
55:57
I think acquiring Dejanay,
55:58
who is the reigning most improved player,
56:00
and she's going to take her
56:01
game to another level there.
56:02
And Alyssa Smith, the same way.
56:04
So I really like Dallas as well.
56:05
So I think they really did a
56:07
good job as far as really
56:08
improving this team.
56:09
Give a good shout out to Kurt Miller,
56:11
honestly.
56:11
You know,
56:11
he's been cooking over the past
56:13
offseason.
56:14
And as much as it kind of
56:17
pains me to say this, honestly,
56:19
I wouldn't say it pains me,
56:20
but I still think as of right now,
56:22
I think New York has to be
56:24
like the early favorite right now.
56:26
Just my opinion, honestly.
56:28
I think they definitely got
56:29
better when you talk about
56:30
the key acquisition of Natasha Cloud.
56:32
And then you talk about the
56:33
depth that they have.
56:33
And I think that's the
56:34
difference with them at Vegas is like,
56:36
Their bench is way better than Vegas's,
56:38
respectfully.
56:39
Not saying that Vegas
56:40
doesn't have any talented
56:40
players on their bench,
56:41
but you talk about how deep
56:42
they can be as a team,
56:44
and you can still add on Stewie, Sabrina,
56:47
and even others with that second unit.
56:50
New York definitely has to
56:50
be one of the favorites.
56:51
Minnesota, the same thing, too.
56:52
I think Minnesota's going to
56:53
be way hungry this year.
56:54
I actually have feet winning MVP this year,
56:57
but when you look at New
56:59
York and how they were able
56:59
to do it last year,
57:00
I know that we all feel a
57:01
way about how they won last year,
57:03
especially with that series
57:04
being back and forth, but
57:06
When you look at how they
57:06
improved their roster
57:08
coming back from winning a
57:09
championship last year,
57:10
I think they have to be the favorite,
57:12
even if one of the top two favorites.
57:15
Yeah, I mean, I agree.
57:16
I think New York is the team to beat,
57:18
to be honest.
57:19
I mean,
57:19
they literally won last year and
57:20
got better.
57:22
Yeah, they did.
57:23
How were they able to
57:25
literally get Natasha
57:26
Howard but still keep Phoebus?
57:27
Like, that's insane.
57:30
But then you also have to
57:31
remember they have Maureen
57:33
Johannes coming back.
57:34
I was about to bring her up.
57:35
Is she coming back?
57:36
She's coming back.
57:37
Like, so, or at least that's what I read.
57:39
It says she was coming back.
57:41
So she's coming off the bench.
57:42
You have Niar Sabli probably
57:44
taking another step after
57:45
having a hell of a game five last year.
57:47
Hell of a, hell of a. I mean,
57:49
talk about being right when
57:50
your number is called.
57:54
So the biggest thing for
57:55
this team is just going to be health.
57:56
We know that she's been
57:59
dealing with that knee and
58:00
she has surgery and she's
58:01
going to be out.
58:02
We know Stewie's out with knee as well.
58:05
So the biggest thing for
58:06
them is really health.
58:07
It's not talent.
58:07
It's literally just health.
58:10
They don't, Lamar.
58:12
You forget that the Liberty
58:14
even won the championship
58:15
because they don't even get talked about.
58:17
But it's also because of coverage,
58:18
especially on a national standpoint.
58:20
I mean,
58:20
we all know the players that they
58:22
talk about,
58:22
but they don't ever highlight.
58:24
They didn't even talk about
58:25
them doing the draft.
58:26
I don't remember them
58:27
talking about them in the draft that much,
58:30
honestly.
58:30
They didn't get no attention.
58:31
They didn't get no attention.
58:33
They didn't get no love.
58:34
They talked about maybe he had a fever.
58:37
Nothing for the champs is crazy.
58:40
This is the first time New
58:41
York has won a basketball
58:42
championship since, like, the seventies.
58:44
Literally.
58:45
That's a big thing in itself.
58:47
Yeah, it's like, come on, man.
58:48
That was wild.
58:49
You ain't lying about that shit, Lamar.
58:51
And what else?
58:53
Anything else that we... Let's see.
58:55
The links are in my face.
58:58
Do y'all think the links got better?
59:01
I think they're going to be the same.
59:03
I don't know if they
59:03
necessarily got better, but, I mean,
59:05
obviously when you have players like Fee,
59:06
when you have players like
59:07
Courtney Williams and them, I mean,
59:08
I think they're still going
59:09
to be in contention.
59:09
But I don't know if they
59:10
necessarily got better,
59:11
but they still got the main
59:12
pieces that they need.
59:13
Yes.
59:14
They didn't lose nobody to
59:15
get – to be worse.
59:17
You know what I'm saying?
59:18
Like, they're still going to be in that.
59:19
Mercury – I ain't going to lie.
59:21
Mercury might be, like, top seven,
59:22
honestly.
59:23
I ain't going to lie.
59:24
I think – I still think they need a guard.
59:26
They need an elite guard.
59:27
I'm like, no,
59:31
they're not going to be the worst team.
59:32
They're going to be the worst team.
59:33
I mean,
59:33
they're still going to make the playoffs.
59:34
With the Lynx?
59:35
I think she is with the Lynx.
59:37
Yeah, she is.
59:37
She's still there.
59:39
Who was that I saw up here?
59:42
Lamar had Indiana.
59:44
Not Lamar.
59:45
Nathan had Indiana five, Seattle four.
59:49
Seattle over Indiana?
59:52
I'm very intrigued by that.
59:55
Yeah, that's why I had to go back to it.
59:57
That's why I had to go back to it.
59:58
I was going to let him slide.
59:59
I was going to let him slide.
1:00:00
I had to go back to it.
1:00:04
Nah, brother.
1:00:07
I couldn't let him slide.
1:00:10
I couldn't let him slide.
1:00:12
Dominique is still over the water.
1:00:14
They got to get back in America.
1:00:15
Yeah,
1:00:15
they ain't even going to training
1:00:17
camp yet.
1:00:18
Oh, no.
1:00:23
I mean, they're going to need it back,
1:00:24
especially after Skylar had
1:00:25
made that statement.
1:00:26
Skylar said something like
1:00:26
this is the most talented
1:00:27
roster she's played with in
1:00:28
her career or something like that.
1:00:30
She said that?
1:00:31
I think she said something like that,
1:00:32
yeah.
1:00:34
I got to go back to the program.
1:00:35
My sister going through a lot.
1:00:39
You got to take it with a grain of salt.
1:00:41
I think she did say something like that.
1:00:42
Pray for her, man.
1:00:43
Pray for her and the kids.
1:00:45
Who wants the smoke?
1:00:46
You got Seattle over Indiana?
1:00:50
I don't have Seattle or Indiana.
1:00:52
No.
1:00:52
I mean,
1:00:53
Seattle's going to be a playoff team.
1:00:54
Don't get me wrong.
1:00:55
Yeah,
1:00:55
I don't think Seattle's top four
1:00:56
right now.
1:00:57
I don't think Seattle's top four.
1:00:58
I can't have them top four.
1:01:02
I agree, Felicia.
1:01:03
I definitely agree with that.
1:01:07
Do we think Vegas is top two?
1:01:08
Ooh, Vegas top two?
1:01:13
Possibly, possibly not.
1:01:14
They could be three.
1:01:15
Yeah, that's okay.
1:01:17
I'm going to go three.
1:01:18
Yeah,
1:01:18
after talking about Liberty and then
1:01:20
we're talking about
1:01:22
Minnesota not really lose anything,
1:01:24
I really can't see them
1:01:27
being top two right now,
1:01:28
especially with what they added.
1:01:30
They haven't got a GM yet.
1:01:31
Hold on.
1:01:33
I got to go to Nathan's comment.
1:01:34
Yes, chemistry-wise, Indiana,
1:01:35
I don't trust them right now.
1:01:37
It will take them some time.
1:01:38
It will take them some time to build.
1:01:41
Which I agree with.
1:01:42
I would even say the first ten,
1:01:45
fifteen games, they'll be good.
1:01:47
They'll win games just off
1:01:48
of sheer talent.
1:01:49
But it's interesting that
1:01:53
you like Seattle's
1:01:54
chemistry over Indiana when
1:01:59
Seattle has a lot of new players as well.
1:02:01
The franchise player is now gone.
1:02:04
So that's why that's interesting.
1:02:05
But
1:02:05
You got Dominique Malanga now.
1:02:07
You got Lexi Brown, Erica Wheeler.
1:02:10
They got a lot of new
1:02:10
players that got to fit into that system,
1:02:12
too.
1:02:12
Andy Whitcomb is gone.
1:02:13
They got a lot of people that left.
1:02:15
Jordan Horson is out for the whole season,
1:02:17
so they got to figure a lot out.
1:02:18
Yeah.
1:02:20
Yeah.
1:02:24
I still don't have them.
1:02:25
I still don't.
1:02:25
I still think they can be top four.
1:02:27
I said, yeah, top four.
1:02:28
I said top four.
1:02:29
Yeah.
1:02:32
It's going to be interesting
1:02:33
with the Vegas.
1:02:34
It's hard for me, you know,
1:02:35
with the Vegas and Indiana.
1:02:37
That's the real thing.
1:02:38
That's the real question.
1:02:39
You know what I'm saying?
1:02:40
Like,
1:02:40
I think it's possible that Indiana
1:02:42
finishes with a better record.
1:02:43
I mean,
1:02:44
I still don't think that there'll
1:02:44
be like a better team come playoff wise.
1:02:46
I mean, who knows?
1:02:47
But yeah,
1:02:48
I just want to throw it out there
1:02:49
that I said this about a month ago.
1:02:51
But go ahead.
1:02:55
Did you say that?
1:02:56
I literally said that he was
1:02:58
probably going to finish three.
1:02:59
And if they're three,
1:03:00
they're going to be higher than Vegas.
1:03:01
I said they're going to be three and four.
1:03:03
And I said they probably
1:03:04
will finish higher than Vegas.
1:03:06
I haven't seen it yet.
1:03:06
I'm just talking about solely on paper.
1:03:08
And the few clips I've already seen,
1:03:10
I know it's a very,
1:03:11
very small sample size.
1:03:13
But you just got to realize
1:03:14
what they have.
1:03:16
And they also have a bench, too.
1:03:17
They got people coming off the bench.
1:03:20
That's the thing.
1:03:21
So...
1:03:22
Um, I don't know.
1:03:23
I also think your girl makes it.
1:03:24
I think your girl makes the roster, uh,
1:03:29
Nick KK.
1:03:30
I think, I think she, yeah,
1:03:31
she's going to basically be
1:03:32
substituted for like the
1:03:33
spot that Timmy played last year.
1:03:35
You know,
1:03:38
Timmy was running the floor and
1:03:39
how she was built for that.
1:03:40
Yes.
1:03:42
It's the, it's literally the perfect,
1:03:44
but I think Ashley, I think she can be,
1:03:45
I think she's actually better than her.
1:03:47
Sillin is a lot higher than Timmy.
1:03:48
I agree.
1:03:48
Well,
1:03:52
look at look at me I agree I
1:03:54
agree let's see all right
1:03:57
one more thing uh liberty
1:03:58
vegas links fever storm
1:04:00
wings I don't know I don't
1:04:04
know vegas finishes better
1:04:05
than minnesota I don't know
1:04:08
I'm still questionable in
1:04:09
minnesota I'm not gonna lie
1:04:10
to y'all because I think
1:04:11
everyone kind of it's all
1:04:12
it's all regular season at
1:04:13
the end of the day so it's like
1:04:15
Hey, man,
1:04:16
you need to put twelve Mystics
1:04:17
and then a gap, gap, gap, gap, gap, gap,
1:04:19
gap Valkyries, because I don't know.
1:04:22
They might win five games.
1:04:23
I thought we went over that
1:04:24
shit a couple weeks ago.
1:04:25
That's a hot take.
1:04:26
I think the Mystics are
1:04:28
going to have a better
1:04:29
record than the Sparks.
1:04:31
I agree.
1:04:32
I agree with that.
1:04:34
When you sit back and look
1:04:36
at the Mystics' rosters, like, damn,
1:04:37
they didn't do that bad.
1:04:41
For what the draft had,
1:04:42
they actually came out the
1:04:44
draft pretty well.
1:04:47
I'm just saying, bro.
1:04:49
If y'all go look at the
1:04:50
Valkyries scheduled to
1:04:51
start the first part of the season.
1:04:54
We broke it down, I think, last episode.
1:04:55
Yeah,
1:04:56
I don't know when they're going to
1:04:57
get their first win.
1:04:57
Oh, yeah, we did.
1:04:58
Yeah, I don't know.
1:05:01
I can't name you five players on our team.
1:05:02
Hey, Wally, pull up.
1:05:02
I got Kate, Marion, and Timmy.
1:05:05
That's all I got.
1:05:05
Oh, man.
1:05:06
Who else on their team?
1:05:06
They got a whole bunch of foreigners.
1:05:11
I don't know them.
1:05:15
I want to know them,
1:05:16
but I don't know them like that.
1:05:19
No, I don't know.
1:05:20
I really want Chicago to be top eight.
1:05:22
I really do.
1:05:24
I feel like they're capable of doing it,
1:05:25
but I honestly want them to.
1:05:27
I think Chicago is going to
1:05:29
be better than the Mercury.
1:05:33
Honestly, I can agree with that.
1:05:34
That's a possibility.
1:05:37
It...
1:05:37
They low-key have some pieces.
1:05:39
And they have a good coach now.
1:05:42
They do.
1:05:42
They have a good staff.
1:05:45
Camilla, I saw a few clips of Camilla.
1:05:48
Oh, she's writing.
1:05:50
Yeah.
1:05:54
You can just tell her
1:05:55
confidence looks different out there.
1:05:58
Yeah, it does.
1:05:59
It does.
1:06:00
You can tell.
1:06:01
You can just feel the energy already.
1:06:04
It's going to be.
1:06:05
I did see somebody say they
1:06:07
can't wait to see Angel and
1:06:09
Camilla in second year.
1:06:10
It's going to be fun.
1:06:11
Pull up the Sparks roster
1:06:12
when you get a chance.
1:06:12
I just want y'all to see.
1:06:14
Because I looked at it today.
1:06:15
When I looked at it on the timeline today,
1:06:18
I'm like,
1:06:20
Cam is still going to be out
1:06:21
until probably July.
1:06:22
That's still coming up for ACL.
1:06:27
Right.
1:06:27
Then when she comes back,
1:06:28
we don't know how ramped up
1:06:30
she's going to be or how
1:06:31
ready she's going to be to fully compete.
1:06:33
How she's going to trust her knee.
1:06:36
No, I don't think so, Jazzy.
1:06:39
For me, hell no.
1:06:40
I think you got like... Hey, Tyler,
1:06:45
we gotta have a
1:06:45
conversation if Camilla is not,
1:06:47
if she's not starting.
1:06:48
Who the hell you starting
1:06:49
ahead of Camilla?
1:06:50
Yeah.
1:06:53
So it's automatically slew Angel Camilla.
1:06:55
yes um uh ariel and um
1:07:00
what's the lady what's the
1:07:01
shooter yeah there you go
1:07:04
that's my that's the
1:07:05
starting top five look at
1:07:08
the length on on them
1:07:09
defensively oh my gosh
1:07:11
they're gonna be nuts like
1:07:12
that that's crazy they're
1:07:13
gonna be okay look at this
1:07:17
scroll down so they got
1:07:20
rakia I'm gonna skip the
1:07:21
first because I don't even
1:07:22
know if they're gonna make
1:07:23
the roster no angel
1:07:24
She got to at least make it.
1:07:27
She should make it.
1:07:30
But she's not moving the needle.
1:07:32
That's true.
1:07:33
I'm going to just name the
1:07:34
people that move the needle.
1:07:36
They have Rekia and Erica.
1:07:38
I'll say Odyssey too.
1:07:43
Kelsey moves the needle.
1:07:44
Ray.
1:07:45
Ray definitely moves the needle.
1:07:48
Aerie.
1:07:48
I know people have questions about Aerie,
1:07:50
but I still like Aerie.
1:07:51
I think she can make some impact.
1:07:53
But she ain't moving the needle for me.
1:07:55
I like her, though.
1:07:56
I do like her.
1:07:56
I think she can make some impact.
1:07:58
I mean, she's not a game changer.
1:08:00
But look at this roster.
1:08:02
You know what I'm saying?
1:08:06
The Mystics are very well
1:08:08
finished ahead of them.
1:08:10
I hope they don't so they
1:08:11
can get more traffic.
1:08:14
I think the Sun will be
1:08:15
better than what people think.
1:08:17
The Sun?
1:08:18
Who they got?
1:08:20
Marina, Tina Charles...
1:08:24
They'll be better than the Valkyries.
1:08:30
Yeah.
1:08:31
You better be.
1:08:32
I think it's going to be
1:08:32
good for development.
1:08:34
I like Anissa getting a
1:08:35
chance to learn from a
1:08:36
player like Tina Charles.
1:08:39
I think it's going to be
1:08:40
more so like a development year for them.
1:08:41
I'm not expecting... What's
1:08:43
the girl's name that went to UConn?
1:08:48
Olivia Nelson-Adota.
1:08:49
You got your son as an AC, Nathan?
1:08:54
She's going to thrive under
1:08:55
Tina Charles-Maine because
1:08:57
she showed flashes of it
1:08:59
last year when she would
1:09:00
get into the game on how good she can be.
1:09:03
She's going to thrive under Tina.
1:09:05
What you mean?
1:09:06
What you mean, Lamar?
1:09:08
Who ain't making the playoffs?
1:09:09
You got Connecticut number eight, Nathan?
1:09:20
every time we try to have a
1:09:22
quick show y'all be in the
1:09:24
chat just saying anything
1:09:27
okay so connecticut gonna
1:09:28
be better than chicago
1:09:32
nathan is this the t-board
1:09:33
indica which one you want
1:09:34
tonight oh my god
1:09:40
Man, really?
1:09:41
I don't think that.
1:09:42
Wow, bro.
1:09:43
I'm sorry.
1:09:46
I like it.
1:09:47
You know what, Nathan?
1:09:47
I like the bold pick.
1:09:48
I love it.
1:09:49
Me too, man.
1:09:50
I like it.
1:09:50
I don't agree.
1:09:51
He said, I guarantee.
1:09:53
That's what he said.
1:09:58
Okay.
1:09:58
Yep.
1:09:58
All right.
1:09:59
Anything can happen.
1:09:59
Injuries.
1:10:00
Anything.
1:10:02
Anything can.
1:10:02
Oh, my goodness.
1:10:03
I will also say that this
1:10:05
year is going to be, in my opinion,
1:10:06
I think this is going to be
1:10:07
one of the best WNBA seasons of all time.
1:10:09
I agree.
1:10:10
This is going to be a really dramatic,
1:10:12
the most dramatic, but one of the best.
1:10:15
Yes.
1:10:15
Oh my God.
1:10:17
It's going to be,
1:10:18
it's going to be one of
1:10:19
those live in the moment type things.
1:10:21
Like people are going to be
1:10:22
just saying anything after a win,
1:10:24
after a loss, it's just,
1:10:26
it's going to be wild.
1:10:27
Um, um, our playbacks are coming back.
1:10:33
Uh, the WC is really busy.
1:10:35
Um, low got, uh,
1:10:37
another sheet on under four fifty, uh,
1:10:39
I think you got a spaces
1:10:41
thing you're doing, going to games,
1:10:45
going to games.
1:10:48
I'm making it up.
1:10:49
Yeah, it's going to be a lot.
1:10:50
So I want to get it out
1:10:52
there so y'all know
1:10:53
playbacks will be coming back.
1:10:55
I know there's a preseason game on Friday,
1:10:58
all weekend.
1:10:58
I don't know what we're going to do.
1:11:00
I don't know if we're going to do that.
1:11:02
I can't remember.
1:11:03
Vegas plays somebody on Friday.
1:11:04
I think it's Dallas they play.
1:11:07
I know they play Vegas and
1:11:07
Dallas at Notre Dame.
1:11:08
You got the Sky playing Brazil at LSU.
1:11:15
So it's just different things.
1:11:16
Hold on.
1:11:16
Speaking of that,
1:11:18
I'm sick because I
1:11:19
completely forgot I had
1:11:20
credentials to the Vegas-Dallas game.
1:11:23
That's nuts.
1:11:26
All this stuff just crept up on everybody.
1:11:31
April got the fuck up out of here,
1:11:32
for real, to be honest.
1:11:33
Look,
1:11:33
I was sending out emails today to
1:11:35
make sure we on the media distribution.
1:11:37
I'm looking through the email,
1:11:38
my other email.
1:11:39
I'm like, bro, I got credentials for this.
1:11:41
Looked at them tickets.
1:11:43
It said seven hundred
1:11:44
dollars for a flight.
1:11:45
I said, oh, yeah.
1:11:47
No, no, no, no.
1:11:47
Hell no.
1:11:48
That's that's really.
1:11:49
Oh, man.
1:11:51
This weekend.
1:11:52
Them days over with.
1:11:53
And now trains are starting
1:11:55
to be expensive because
1:11:56
people are trying to take trains now.
1:11:58
I just hate it.
1:12:00
Yeah.
1:12:03
Mr. Playoffs is Valkyrie, Sun, Spark,
1:12:05
Mrs. and or Sky, Dream or Mercury.
1:12:09
That's crazy to think though, man.
1:12:11
I thought the Dream got some
1:12:12
key acquisitions,
1:12:13
but they're still not going
1:12:14
to be like top five or anything.
1:12:16
No.
1:12:18
I mean,
1:12:18
I think they could be six or seven.
1:12:20
I think they'll be at least six or seven,
1:12:22
but
1:12:26
Anything we can get about here?
1:12:27
Y'all got anything?
1:12:31
No?
1:12:33
No?
1:12:34
Y'all be trying to chat.
1:12:35
Y'all be trying to keep us
1:12:35
in for like two hours, man.
1:12:37
We can't.
1:12:38
We can't do it.
1:12:39
Especially because we about
1:12:40

1:12:41
We about to be super busy.
1:12:43
We getting the content and
1:12:44

Yes.
1:12:46
Yes.
1:12:47
It's going to be a fun season.
1:12:49
Don't forget, I think Nick said,
1:12:51
you said they showing games
1:12:53
for free on the network, right?
1:12:56
League Pass.
1:12:56
League Pass, yeah.
1:12:59
Playback,
1:13:00
you still have to share your
1:13:02
screen or can you do it
1:13:03
through League Pass or they
1:13:04
don't have that?
1:13:05
No, they end up having, man,
1:13:08
this is what they did.
1:13:08
They went and got a contract with the MLB.
1:13:11
So there's no contract with the WNBA yet.
1:13:14
So I still got a screen share.
1:13:17
I'm actually shocked they
1:13:18
went and got a contract with the MLB.
1:13:20
I'm actually surprised they did that shit.
1:13:21
But we'll be on playback and
1:13:23
