We gotta save most of the yaps. For the important part of the pod, cause we this is this is the this is the podcast. Not only is this a podcast for casual, this is the podcast for therapy. We're gonna talk about this. We gonna hey, I got a c we got a couch. We got therapy. We're gonna let hey, we got a lot of things to talk about.

It's it's okay. It's okay. Jax: Well that is. Dana Dane: Yes, we do. Greg: Domestic violence situation arrested. I don't know if he got rele he probably got released on bail already. You know how they do it. But or made bond. Jax: Yeah, he made bond or whatever. They say it was like he turned himself in and then he made bond or whatever. Yeah. Greg: Yeah. ⁓ troubling situation. ⁓ high as aspirations for ⁓ the Green Bay Packers. ⁓ any any thoughts from either of y'all? Dana Dane: I say who is it troubling for? Because it ain't for him. He was the one Did you see that list? Jax: To me. Greg: Liz. ⁓ yeah, that nigga got charged with cra. Nah, that was a lot. It was nah, that was it was a little list, nigga. Dana Dane: Like the shit he got charged with. Jax: I thought it's just domestic violence. ⁓ I didn't I didn't read all that I just I just seen ⁓ Josh Jake arrested for I didn't actually look into it like Dana Dane: It was like it was a l grocery list. It was like stranglement, ⁓ domestic violence, battery. You name it. He he I I have I have no sympathy for him for none of that bullshit. Greg: Nah, his rap sea yeah, his rap seed a little longer, I ain't gonna ⁓ no, I don't have any sympathy for him either. I just know that I know how the NFL works. ⁓ that if that video don't drop, it it might go down lightly. I'm not gonna lie to you. I I fear. Dana Dane: Yeah. They gonna cover their product. Jax: Even if the video does drop. 'Cause James Pierce he got off ⁓ he all he got to do is take like an anger management class. Greg: That's fucking crazy. Dana Dane: That's insane. Jax: He they say he gotta take an anger management class and apologize and he'll be fine, which is insane. Greg: And Dana Dane: Okay. NFL diet series. Greg: And niggas really thought and ⁓ and and when I say niggas really thought I am a part of niggas, you know, and niggas really thought they might they might actually give that nigga the the the raplist. As soon as I started seeing too many too many Jax: He you try he tried to run her over camera and trying to kill her with his vehicle, but Greg: As soon as I saw as soon as I saw too many black men say, Yeah, you did this to Brike, I was like, I maybe maybe they might maybe they might biasly just give that nigga the rule book. Like they should do all men that do bullshit like this, but not even Rakia was safe from this shit right here, bro. So like I said, we do care about victims of dema ⁓ domestic violence, but we don't have a lot we we don't have a lot to like discuss and talk about that we don't we don't care. About him. You know what I mean? You might as well be vulnerable to be. Next, we do not care. ⁓ the Magic finally get a new head coach and they point in the direction of Sean Sweeney. ⁓ you don't know who Sean Sweeney is. I didn't know him either. ⁓ I just knew he was an assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs that had a dabbling of ⁓ Milwaukee Bucks ⁓ tenure and Dallas Mavericks tenure, which leaves people to believe like, ⁓ my God, like what kind of pull does he have? That I I feel like that's like the common thing that I've been seeing. If you're a former coach that or a former or a new coach, if you had ties other places, they you know they ask, ⁓ does he have pool to potentially get Giannis to the magic or or whenever Taylor Taylor Jacobs was like with the Bucks, ⁓ you think you think a drama rant pull might happen? All of this is just everything is just surrounding about Giannis. Like if you have any ties to Giannis Jax: That's annoying. Greg: It's like, ⁓ maybe. ⁓ You never know. I don't know what this nigga is. I don't know what this niggas capable of. All I know is you can't really go wrong with hiring ⁓ somebody from the Greg Popovish tree. ⁓ even when they're not as good, they will find the way, you know. Even pe people don't like email you doka. Niggas still dragging niggas to the playoffs, though. Like, you know what I mean? He'll call you, he'll call you a bitch. Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: He annoying but he had good coach. But he's he's annoying though. Dana Dane: Yeah. Him and KD, just KD won't do it to your face. Greg: You know what I mean? Look. Hey man, look, we're gonna have some uncomfortable conversations about who needs to be called a bitch. But we'll save that for later. We'll save that for later in the pod. We will. Don't address me. I will. Don't worry about it, brother. Next, we do not care. We do not care. ⁓ are y'all familiar with what's been going on with the Atlanta judge? Dana Dane: ⁓ we will Yes we will Jax: Ha ha ha ha. Yeah. Greg: ⁓ that got caught ⁓ fucking a lieutenant officer ⁓ during ⁓ working hours. Is that no? First and foremost, I would like to first and foremost, I would like to say I did start off with Atlanta. And I think after saying Atlanta, everything else should be like, ⁓ okay. This adds up. Jax: None of those words are in the Bible. None of those words are in the Bible. First of my belly to hear that series, bro. Dana Dane: No. Greg: This adds up. But I knew. ⁓ my God. But ⁓ let me share, let me share my screen. Let me share my screen on this because I knew. I I thought maybe Dana would have been tapped in, but I knew Jax, I knew Jax was gonna be, which makes this a very, a very important. Actually, it's not an important conversation to have. I just think it was funny. ⁓ Dana Dane: But it shouldn't though. That's the thing. It don't matter if it was Atlanta or Abilene, the shit should not add up. Greg: The cop who had loud sex with Judge in Chambers, ID'd as deputy chief ⁓ with Atlanta police. First and foremost, infidelity is involved. Both of these people are married to different people. I want you to understand this. That's Jax: Okay, that was gonna be one. I was like, if they're single, it's weird, but like they can do their adults, so like do it at your house, but now they're both. Dana Dane: Yeah, but this is just Greg: Now, now, I I don't find infidelity funny, okay? That's not why I brought this here. I'm not here to talk about infidelity. That's for that white woman that I don't want to name no more. We did three episodes on that woman. We don't have to keep talking about her no more. But what makes this hilarious is that we got video, fellas. We got video. Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: of the loud sex. And it's not we don't physically see it, but we do hear it. We do hear it, y'all. Alright. Dana Dane: Whoa. Whoa come on. Come on man. Come on man. What are we doing? What are we? Jax: You're good. There is no way that's that. There is no way. Greg: This is not AI. This is this is confirmed. No, it's not. This this is it. No, this is confirmed. Jax. Yes. Jax, this is confirmed, Jax. I this is confirmed. This is the reason why we even have this article to begin with. This had this ⁓ video dropped like months and months and months ago, and they were like, who the fuck is this loud ass woman yelling? First of all, we didn't know it was sex at the time because that don't sound like sex. Jax: That's some that's a video there's no way that's a video from something else, bro. There's no way that's the actual Is that that's the actual hallway of the ⁓ wherever the fuck they are? Dana Dane: Th yeah, there's there's no way. There's no way. Jax: He didn't because our Greg: Respectfully. That didn't I've never heard no shit like this before. Not like this. Jax: Like, nigga, what? Like. Dana Dane: Well I yeah, like that is just there's a special spot next to the man downstairs for them niggas cause what what are we doing? Like what are we doing? What are we y'all niggas ain't even trying to trying to be discreet about this shit. Jax: They're so fucking dumb bro, like they're so fucking stupid. Greg: And why why he ain't tell ⁓ let me let me fix this up. Jax: They're just good that's so dumb. That's so dumb, bro. Nigga, like what do we even do? Dana Dane: Yo ain't even trying to be discreet about nothing. Did y'all think this was a off date? Yeah, y'all deserve every whatever Jax: Y'all deserve to they deserve to get in whatever trouble just for that bullshit. They deserve whatever trouble they get into, bro. They're stupid, bro. ⁓ too old to be that dumb, bro. Too old to be that dumb. Greg: Now, now they didn't Dana Dane: Yeah, and more. Greg: Now of course they're gonna punish the man more than the woman, I guess. I I I guess. But Jax: I don't think so. I think they're both equally good points. Greg: Well, they haven't they said that they have addressed the woman privately and people that worked at the firm, they've they've gotten a ⁓ I guess like a a written apology ⁓ from her, but doesn't really expl you know. But don't don't really like she doesn't get very direct with what she's actually apologizing for, but you know, you know how that goes. It's a very political. As far as the Jax: James Chris Humor type me. Greg: The police officer, who knows? It don't sound like anybody is in jeopardy of losing their job, which is actually the most insane part in all of this. It's Atlanta. Never mind. I'll take it back. This is America. The land of second chances, the land of opportunity, I guess. But just wanted to make sure y'all understood the severity. Jax: Surprising. Dana Dane: Shocking? No, this is Atlanta. Greg: Had had to let y'all know what that shit sounded like. Dana Dane: You didn't, but okay. You really didn't have to do that, but okay. Jax: Did you? I didn't even I didn't even know this happened. Greg: You're right. You right. You right. But guess what? We do not care. We don't care. We don't care. And finally, finally, finally, finally, Terry Rozier. A lot of you are asking, man, he's been on We Do Not Care a whole bunch of times. Y'all have had topics on him. ⁓ my goodness. I thought he was I thought he was free. No, he's not, brother. Because they just keep adding charges to this young man. I think he's still young. Young enough. Yeah. Something like that. Federal prosecutor ⁓ federal prosecutors alleged former Hornets guard Terry Rosier agreed to a one hundred thousand dollar bribe to manipulate his performance in an NBA game as part of a gambling scheme and field two new char and filed two new charges against him Thursday. Jax: Thirty, maybe, possibly twenty nine thirty. So Greg: Her ESPN. ⁓ this is official. On top of all the other charges that he has, it was crazy for me because at yeah, it's it's one of those things where at first he almost got away. It like it felt it this shit feels like ⁓ like the end of like those Scooby-Doo episodes where it's like, and I would have got away with it if it wasn't for your meddling friends. It was like, yo, you were almost there. Jax: This nigga's never he's never beating that case, bro. Dana Dane: Yeah, he's never touching a basketball again in his life. Greg: And the more charges that are getting dropped on you, the more you are closer to John Tay Porter than you or Malik Beasley. And I would have never thought about this a year ago. I would have never thought this would have been the case a year ago. A year ago, I would have like, okay. ⁓ niggas just ass. No. He's not. And he was doing it in Charlotte. Dana Dane: That is my thing is like, my thing is, this is the overarching thing. I'm like, y'all niggas are making millions of dollars. What is a hundred K? Y'all niggas pay fines that equate to that. Like, why are you taking up a bribe unless they had some dirt on them? They're like, hey man, like you have no choice. Then it's like, okay, now they don't they don't make it no better, but bro, you're making millions of dollars in a doing this point. Greg: You think that nigga was like working with the cartel? No, I'm saying like it was like if I if I had to Jax: like I think like it was there was a probatory episode on it a little bit and it was like sort of like not mob but like mob adjacent like a shady ass nigga Dana Dane: I don't know. There's is no reason for you to be rigging games like that. Yeah. ⁓ yeah, 'cause then that was what the whole ⁓ FBI investigation was on any sh anyway. Jax: Terry Rosier has made $160 million in his career. Why are you doing this, brother? Why are you doing this? Dana Dane: Like this this is that sh this is we need to take I know we love the there's good nigga shit and there's bad nigga shit. This is bad nigga shit and we need to take the bad nigga shit out of the league. NBA, NFL, MLB, ain't really a whole lot of nigga shit going on in the MLB, but just cut the nigga shit. Greg: Yeah. Jax: You sound like Samuel Samuel Jackson on Django, nigga. Dana Dane: Hehehehe This is nigga shit though. You made you just showed his earnings. Why are you taking a hundred K when you ⁓ make when you've made over a hundred million? Greg: Do you think it's wise for you to keep talking? Dana Dane: What the Greg: Like is it wise? No. It's not wise, nigga. Jax: And like the thing is Terry Rozier is not Terry is not even as like he would have got ⁓ he's gonna he would have got more money, he would have got more contracts. He's not even old for real. Dana Dane: That's my thing. He's a very good he's like Dennis Schroeder. Like any anyone can use a Dennis Schroeder or Terry Rozier on a team. The only his only thing is he gotta stay healthy, but you think the Thunder could have used a Terry Rozier? Jax: Yeah. But the heat could have used them, they could have used them as an extra score. Greg: And you know, I don't agree when anybody does this. But now that you brought up Dennis Schroeder, if there was anybody where I would have been like, I see how this happened, it would have been Dennis Schroeder. Cause you get finessed out of an $84 million thing and you never see that type of buddy again. And then I catch you trying to gamble to like re re up yourself and try to make up that buddy that you lost. I don't agree with it, but that logic makes a little bit more sense than some of these other niggas. Jax: Yeah. Greg: ⁓ my God, this is crazy. This is fucking nuts. Because I don't agree, but damn, some of y'all track record is like, how did we get here? Jax: I see where you're coming from. I see where he's coming from. Dana Dane: Yeah. That's why I'm like, someone there cause there's no other explanation outside of whatever mob or adjacent mob he was working with had some shit on him to where like you have either you have to do this or we're ruining your NBA career, which they already did. Like he was he he was damned if you did, damned if you didn't, apparently. But yeah, he's never seen the an NBA court again. Jax: He never Greg: Yeah. Jax: That nigga might not he might only see like a prison court, bro. Like these niggas are federal charges, bro. He's going to prison, bro. Like Dana Dane: He might not He ain't even gonna be playing ball and pillick and bait. Greg: That nigga gonna be seeing court for the rest of his life. It won't be a basketball court. I'll tell you that. It will not be a basketball court. Dana Dane: He gonna be playing King of the Hill with Chauncey? Greg: Ha ha. Jax: ⁓ Charles is escaped, Chelsea escaping all in. He made that one tweet and niggas was like, is this she? And then he didn't say we saw you. We saw you try to pop out like shit was normal, bro. We still wonder what happened. Greg: Yeah. Hey, that was the first address me elephant that made me laugh out loud. I'm not gonna lie. Because address me bitch ass nigga. Talk to me. That was crazy. What? We do not care. Of course we do not care. And speaking of gambling and irresponsible things, ⁓ we go into Texas Tech, going to Lubbock, Texas. Now, you're asking, why the fuck are we there? Dana Dane: Ha ha ha. Yeah. Greg: I'm asking the same question my damn self. But there's some more gambling happening in this starting with Texas Tech and their quarterback, or was Brandon Soresby. Dana Dane: Yeah, 'cause there's no way he don't get touching that field again. Jax: Yeah. Yeah, so here's a break a breakdown of Brendan Soresby's gambling. He was a Texas Tech quarterback. He probably won't be no more, but he transferred at least sixty thousand dollars to friends that place bets on his behalf. At least twenty nine hundred of those bets were placed while he was at Indiana because he used to be at Indiana. He was their backup quarterback. And then he transferred Texas Tech. But ⁓ anyways, from September to October 2022, he placed 40 bets on Indiana football, totaling at least eight hundred fifty dollars. Greg: At all. Jax: From October twenty ⁓ twenty two to November twenty twenty three, he plays at least fifty bets on Indiana basketball, totaling more than fourteen hundred. ⁓ From September 2022 to December 2023, he placed 300 bets on college football, totaling at least 6,500. He admits he placed one or two of the three bets on Cincinnati Hoops through his account for $3,500. And while at Texas Tech, he sent $5,000 to a person who placed bets on ⁓ MBA, MLB, and PGA stuff for him. ⁓ he's been diagnosed with a gambling addiction. He com recently completed the 35-day stint. Dana Dane: Yeah, I Jax: in the Arizona gambling rehab center. And now he went to the NCAA because they, you know, obviously they caught him, so they took his eligibility and he went to the NCAA saying, please, please, please, can you please let me play? ⁓ the NCAA. They denied his ruling. ⁓ Texas Tech is appealing this for now, but he's not like they're not gonna let him back in. And he's also considering entering the ⁓ the supplemental draft at the NFL because that's like the little draft for players that get kicked out of school and if you get drafted you can play and all that shit. So I fucking guess. I feel like that's what he's going to have to do 'cause he's never playing college football again. Like that's completely over. Even if you do say, ⁓ it was a gambling. It's just Dana Dane: Yeah. And my thing is it's only it's it's go ahead, Jess. Jax: What do y'all think of like we we don't know the nigga obviously, but d do y'all think it was actually a gambling addiction or he just got like nigga just got caught up? I mean like Dana Dane: Clearly like two pieces. Greg: I mean I'll say this, like I jokingly tell Dana Dane: Do you think do you it was you think are you asking like is was he knowingly doing this or was this like he couldn't help himself type shit? Jax: Yeah, like was he knowing was it something like a compulsion, like he could not help himself or like was he like on some terrorizier knowingly doing this shit? 'Cause I feel like it's awesome knowingly doing this, 'cause like these are for real, bro. Greg: I'm gonna be Dana Dane: Yeah, I think he knewingly do this. But I I feel like go ahead. Go ahead. Well, I was just gonna say, I feel like he knewingly he knew he was doing this, but he just was yeah, he couldn't stop. Like he was and then it it goes back to the thing of you don't really need to be doing this because you're already making millions in ca in Cos now. Like if this was still Greg: I'm a I'm a beer. Yeah, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. He couldn't stop. Dana Dane: Prehistoric NCAA where you're doing under the table money, okay. Like it don't make it no better, but whatever. But you don't need to be doing all this gambling shit, especially like some of this other stuff. If you bet in all NBA or MLB teams, whatever. Like, if it's not your sport or your team, personally, I don't see the real issue with it, but like you're Betting on yourself and I don't even know. I'm assuming the he's betting his unders on these or whatever, but or his friends. Yeah. I don't know what but a let I don't know. So you're betting on your team. Like you know damn well gambling as much as they love to promote it with DraftKings and prize picks and all that. Like you know you can't play that. Like once you sign up in that what you are an athlete. Jax: ⁓ we don't know. Dana Dane: As much as you may want to do that, like you you ca you just can't be doing that shit. But he just couldn't help himself. Greg: I I think I think the problem with me is I feel like all of this shit is an addition like a an addiction. Like even that Terry like my mind is just like the fact that you are risking your career because you're trying to get a one hundred thousand dollar play to do your un to just do a bad job. In my mind that shit feels like an addiction. Cause I'm cause I'm still trying to wrap my head around why are you risking millions of dollars over a $100,000 payout? That like. Dana Dane: Well, probably 'cause he was living paycheck to pay like ch going back to Terry Rogier, he had to been living paycheck to paycheck. I mean, there's no other reason you need to get that quick high of I'm I need to get this hundred K leg or maybe him. He in terms of Brendan's ⁓ sorry, he probably just is making a lot of money but spending it just as fast. Clearly cause he's gambling the shit. So he's like, I need 'cause I feel like it's that Jax: Yeah. Dana Dane: I'm not a gambler, so I don't understand the high of gambling, but if I was, I'd have to assume it just is like the rush of like they don't see money the same. They see it as an object and not value. They don't see the value. They're like, I can take this and give more, but if I lose it, okay, I can just get it back. Like it's nothing to me. Greg: Me neither. Yeah, I think I think ⁓ like do I think this nigga was scratching his arm saying, ⁓ I I gotta do it again. I got no. I don't think it was that bad. Like I don't think like I don't think these niggas Go ahead. Jax: Well, I I have a I was gonna say I have a I have a few quotes from ⁓ a few funnier quotes from this ESPN article about it. Well not funny, but like well it's funny to me, but it's probably not funny to But just just to just to add a little bit of context, ⁓ well one of the things we were talking about Danny, well this is one of the quotes, but Danny you asked if he was like point saving. He did say, or ⁓ Sorzby, he never bet on Indiana or individual members of the team in the game in which he participated, and he didn't Greg: Nah, it's funny nigga. It's funny. Jax: ⁓ engage in activity designed to influence the outcome or integrity of any of the contests. So he he wasn't point shaving or anything like that. So there's that. But now for the funny quotes on one, he said, ⁓ in a statement he wrote to the NCAA, he says, it became a habit for me to bet. My betting became a compulsion which it was virtually impossible to resist from the constant notifications I got from betting apps, it ⁓ I lost complete control of my addiction and now I realized that these apps controlled me. Dana Dane: Allegedly. Jax: ⁓ talking about when he was on the active roster in Indiana, he said once I became a part of the active roster, I immediately stopped betting. However, my gambling on other sports didn't stop. It escalated and became compulsive. Well, started small when I was in high school, turned into daily habit of betting on all kinds of sports, including sports I wasn't interested in like tennis and Romanian soccer. And then another quote, he said, I want to be clear that I never bet to make money, given the money I hadn't earned from NI. ⁓ Dana Dane: What are you doing? If you Greg: Right, you know what? My bad. My bad j ⁓ Dana Dane: That's why I can never be no gambling nigga. What the fuck? If you not better make no money, you just been to spend this. That's why these gambling niggas need to be stopped. They don't see money to say. Clear they don't see money the same. He was bad just to get more money. He was bad just to bet the shit. Greg: Ja, Jax, Jax. My bad. Jax. My bad, bro. I'm s I'm sorry. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Yeah. Hey. Forget everything I said. Forget everything. Hey. Forget everything I said, nigga. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. This nigga is a headache. Send that nigga back. Send him back to Arizona, nigga. Jax: Ha ha ha. Dana Dane: What? Yeah. You're you haven't that's a that is that is telltale of an addiction. You ain't been to get money Greg: You can't fi you can't fix that in one round of run one round of of rehabilitation. You need to go. Yeah, that's that's not thirty-five days worth, nigga. You got this nigga need to be up a year. Nigga, what the fuck? But damn. Dana Dane: No. Jax: One one month of therapy. Dana Dane: No. Jax: He said he never kept track of his betting over time and that he's pretty sure he lost more than he won. Greg: ⁓ just like everybody else. Yeah, I bet the fuck he did. Romanian soccer. Dana Dane: I bet he did. I bet he exactly. Like you ain't special 'cause of that. Like And the problem is Greg: I don't even think he watched the game. Dana Dane: We all know someone that is like this. I I work with someone who's just as bad like Jax: No. Greg: ⁓ okay. Somebody. Jax: Well, now it do be niggas who be gambling and don't be watching sports. They be trying to ask me, ⁓ what do you think? Who's gonna go over? Who's gonna I'm like, nigga, don't talk to me about this shit. I don't care. Dana Dane: He's a They be gambling they Greg: Yeah. Dana Dane: Yeah, he he game mind you He gambles basically his whole check and I make pretty decent money. So you can imagine what he does. What he's doing in his free time like, bro. Like Greg: How does r how does rent get paid? Dana Dane: With the ga well I I don't know. Exactly. Jax: If he hit his parlay or not. Greg: Hey, every every bed is make or break for this nigga is crazy. ⁓ my God. Dana Dane: Make a right. And he probably using what he don't use to gamble on it. That's exactly how these niggas work. Clearly, he just laid it out. He gave you the blueprint here. I don't bet to make money. What? Jax: Yeah. Greg: He mu he must be single. Is he s is he single? Dana Dane: ⁓ the my cower yeah. Greg: Yeah, he is? That makes a lot of sense. Has to be. Cause what the fuck? That's a bad husband and father if that's like, what he doing with the with the paper? Jax: He he asked him. Dana Dane: Yeah, she would Shea would have my head on a fucking spike if she knew I was gambling like that. She'd whoop my ass. Greg: Come on, man. ⁓ God. That's what happens when you black women. ⁓ god. Cause why? Cause it's a black woman. Can't get away with that shit. The fuck is wrong with you? All this really told me was, ⁓ Johnny Manzel better. Thank God he ain't never had N I L and access to gambling like this. ⁓ my God, we would have saw the worst type of nigga. Dana Dane: Exactly. ⁓ my goodness my goodness Jax: I mean Johnny Man, he was still if you seen that if you seen that documentary on Netflix, he was still getting mad bread, so like he probably could have gambled if he wanted. He was just he just instead of gambling, he just did normal he had normal vices like cocaine and alcohol instead of gambling. So Greg: No, I'm saying but like Dana Dane: Normal normal white people vices. Greg: Nah, but like having having some real having some accessibility like that, knowing that his NIL buddy was finna he's the type of nigga that was like, I'm doing this for the love of the game. I'm gambling for the love of game. And he would have teetered any would have teetered that line with football. I think the difference is I really would I really do believe he wouldn't be betting his unders. I really think he would be gambling, like I I'm finna beat these niggas. I'm finna get this, I'm finna get this. I'm finna go get this Bama. I'm finna beat Bama and and run it up on niggas. Dana Dane: You think Greg: And then f and then show off and say, Yeah, I bet it on myself and beat y'all niggas. He just Dana Dane: Y'all think Michael Jordan was gambling this bad? Jax: Yes. Greg: It's just different because Dana Dane: But we just don't we don't say nothing cause he's he's the goat. We don't say shit cause it's Michael fucking Jordan. But we know that well He did, he was Michael Jordan Greg: I think if he had access, if I think he had like social No, I'm talking about like the accessibility of social media to just do this shit over your phone versus physically going to gambling places and stuff, I feel like he would be just as bad. Dana Dane: ⁓ yeah, yeah, yeah. Jax: Imagine if it was Michael Jordan being caught up in like some Tara Rozier shit. Like what like what would they have well, I mean th ⁓ well they kicked him out the league, so they're they may not even play baseball, so Greg: That would affect I ain't gonna lie. In the nineties, that would actually affect his legacy. In the nineties that would actually that actually would affect his legacy. They might call LeBron the GOAT because of that. Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: But that's it. They made that nigga play baseball, bro. That's what happened. They were like, bro, you're gambling a little too much. Go play baseball. He was like, yes, sir. And he did it. And then he came back. Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: You right. ⁓ man, you know, going from one dumb ass to another. Let's lock in on J. McCarthy, man. ⁓ J J. McCarthy was saying some questionable things. ⁓ because he didn't like how this black man's about to take his spot, Kyler Murray. ⁓ I don't know if you had the video, Jax, or I can pull it up, it's it's up to you what you wanna do. Jax: No, I have the b I have two videos and I feel like one of the videos is one of the videos that you wanna pull up, but th I have have you seen this video, this normal video? Greg: Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah, this is a normal one. Jax: Okay, yeah. But ⁓ this is JJ McCarthy's being interviewed. They asked him about his relationship with Kyler Murray and well they asked both the quarterbacks. Kyler Murray, when he gave his response, he was like, ⁓ man, you know, ⁓ JJ, he's a he's a young quarterback, but I'm here to help him anytime he asks and blah blah blah. Made it like normal PR answer, but like stuff you should hope your veteran quarterback does. But they asked J J about the relationship and he said this. lot of people are upset at that 'cause like it's like brother like I need you to give a more ⁓ PR esque answer and I understand that. But there have you seen the other clip that's going around by what he said? Dana Dane: No. Jax: Wait, have you, Greg? Greg: I have. I've seen everything. Which is just why I tested you. But after further research, I'ma calm down. But go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Jax: Okay. Okay. Because this is this is why this is why I hate the internet. Because this other clip was floating around the internet. And I was like, what are they talking about? And it's this random account. He said JJ McCarthy addresses recent comments by Kyler Murray. We're competing for a job. I'm not gonna pretend that I'm happy about it. And I feel like I proved I was an elite quarterback last season. I know I'm the future of the organization. But when you press play on this video. There's no fucking audio because he just made all of this up. But everybody, every single human being in the comments is like, Did he say elite quarterback? And ⁓ my gosh, he's doing everybody's talking shit about him. And it's just like nobody watched the video. And this is what's wrong with this is what's wrong with the world right now, bro. This is why I hate people. Because Daniel McCartney did not say this quote. Everybody's just quoting and be like, ⁓ my god, this is crazy. Dana Dane: Yeah. Mm. Well he didn't say that. Jax: He didn't say any this video is muted. Nothing here, bro. Niggas are just liars, bro. That's what's wrong with people. There's there's the volume all the way up. There's no but people are so quick to want to because when I seen this video, I saw I saw the caption first and I was like, What? And I forget where I was, but I didn't have my airpod, so I like clicked the video and like held it to my ear, and I like in a loud place. So I hear no like, I don't hear anything. Maybe I need to turn the volume up. So Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: Yeah. Dana Dane: Shit. Yeah. Jax: I went to watch it when I got home and I was like, Is my Twitter broke or something? And I scrolled down and like people were saying all this crazy shit. So I'm just like, Maybe maybe I got the wrong video. But no, niggas are just lying, bro. And that's why I hate that's why the internet is the worst thing ever, bro. Greg: Yeah. Bro, I did ask, I don't know what time, I don't know what time it was at night, but it was a little late at night. And I saw it, and I was just like, I didn't like I didn't press play. I just saw the quote. And that's when I sent to Jack, like, yo, Jazz, we gotta talk about this bullshit, bro. This shit getting out of fucking hand. He was like, I haven't really seen any quotes. I'm like, bro, the shit I've heard, first of all, it don't matter what video you saw, I'm not fucking with none of it. And then once I did like more research. Dana Dane: ⁓ shit. Jax: Okay. Yeah. Greg: And then these ⁓ these notes started coming in, like the you know, like the ⁓ what do you call those? Yeah, the community notes. I was ⁓ damn. I didn't, I didn't I think I got I think I got they got me and because he's a white man and I don't care about him, I just took everything at face value. Cause had this been Jameis because had this been Jameis Winston, I would have did all my due diligence. Cause how dare you slander that man? I just needed an excuse. I just needed an excuse to just get my head off. Jax: The community houses. You're good. Dana Dane: Yeah. They got you. They got you. Which under I mean Yeah. Jax: Yeah. Greg: And then I'll say, he didn't say this. Now I'm upset that he didn't say it. The fuck? Now I'm upset. I'm like, damn, y'all got me worked up for some some some shit that didn't happen. I hate you, Nick. Dana Dane: ⁓ shit. Jax: It's horrible. That's terrible. Dana Dane: ⁓ man. Greg: Yeah. This is this is this is probably the most ⁓ this is this probably well this is probably the most ⁓ internet interaction he's finna have ⁓ pretty soon because pretty soon Kyler Murray's taking his fucking job. 'Cause anybody with a pulse can take his fucking job at any moment. This is Kyler Murray's job. He will be playing backup. Get ready. Dana Dane: This is the most internet the internet has ever internet in, if that makes sense. Jax: Yeah, well. Dana Dane: Yeah, that's just that. Jax: ⁓ yeah, that's it. Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: Like Kyle Murray's never actually been bad. He's just on bad teams. But Kyle Murray he's just he just gets hurt 'cause he's small. But that's it. Kyle Murray's never actually been bad. So Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: Yeah, JJ McCarthy, get ready to learn Dylan Gabriel, nigga. Grab that fucking clipboard and learn how to clap. This classroom analogy bullshit you got going on, I wasn't fucking with that either. And you truly said that. So no. But that's all I have to say about JJ. Dana Dane: Yeah. Yeah, he's I that's just about he he not he not a media train. This is Kyler's job to lose. And ⁓ Yeah, this is his fault. Because if he if they didn't make them Well, it's not only his fault, but it doesn't help that Sam Darnold won the fucking Super Bowl last season. So they're like it really it's like the big problem, the big elephant is JJ. Like he's not good. But it Greg: It is his fault. Jax: It doesn't, it it doesn't have a wall. Greg: What? Dana Dane: Only compounds that y'all gave up a fifteen a fourteen and three s interim quarterback, basically. 'Cause they I don't think they were trying keep him long term, clearly. And then the nigga goes to Seattle and wins the Super Bowl. Yeah, now you got all types of egg on your face. Jax: Yeah. And the crazy thing is, like, I would have done the same thing too with Sam, because I'm like, I don't think Sam Ronald's that good. And we just drafted this quarterback like top ten or whatever. I would have done the same thing and I'd be pissed the fuck off. Dana Dane: Right. The GM lost his job cause everybody over here being scared like they wouldn't have done the same shit. Everybody acted brand new cause they're like, how could you why would you give up away Sam Donald with JJ's nigga if you was in that room too, you would have done it too. Or you would have you would have thought about it. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Yeah, bro. Calm down. Don't speak for me. Don't speak for me. I feel like me and Jax had a conversation back when this was happening. I like, I don't know, man. Maybe, maybe Sam Darnold kind of hooping. Maybe it was just the Jets. He's like, nah, bro, like they can do this for everybody. And I was like, I'm not saying, and I think it wasn't even for me. It was never about Darnold as much as it was coming out of college. How Jax feels about Bo Knicks is how I feel about JJ McCarthy. I never thought he was good because I've never saw that nigga throw. Dana Dane: Yeah. Hey. Greg: Anything past 40 yards or 30 yards. I'm like, who does it does this nigga dink and dunk all his life? In my mind, I'm like, I don't who is this nigga? Any towards ACL? But ⁓ you know, I was just like, okay, well, Justin Jefferson make everybody look good. So I was like, well, maybe he'll be competent. And I was wrong on that. I'm like, ⁓ yeah, this is this is crazy. You have just you have Justin Jefferson and Addison, and you playing like this? Dana Dane: That is also true. Jax: Like the fact that Justin Jefferson couldn't make it look good. Greg: I can't give you no grace. I can't be on some, ⁓ I mean, he's just a young QB. Look at all the young QBs that don't have the greatest well, the one of the top two, top three wide receivers in the game right now. Crazy. Dana Dane: And Hawkinson. Jax: Like the Vikings were literally just a quarterback away from being like an actu 'cause their defense, they had like the best defen one. I think like a top three defense in the NFL. They have a crazy receiving core. ⁓ who was their running back? I can't remember the running back's name at the moment. But I like the running. He's he was good. So it's just like crazy. But Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: They were fourteen and three. Dana Dane: They got a good Yeah. But we'll see 'cause that division's only getting tougher. Greg: You got the you got the weakest you got the weakest quarterback in that division, right? By far. Clear cut. Like in his miles away. It's Caleb, Caleb Williams, ⁓ fucking Jared Goff and Jordan Love. Nowhere close to any of them niggas. Jax: Yeah. Yeah. Jared off and doing love, like. Dana Dane: Jerry Goff, Jordan Love and And then it's a cliff. And then it's just Yeah. May Malik Willis was better than Hadnik. Jax: And then and Malik Willis was too. And Malik Willis was there too. So he's not even the foot, but Greg: It's like it's good. Jax: He not he's not even the fourth best quarterback. Dana Dane: Then it's just JJ at the bottom of that bitch. Greg: Crazy. Evil where we live in, but had to get that hate off. Had to get that hate off. Jax: I think it's time to it's time but I'm not gonna hold y'all. We've been talking about football too long. It's time to get to the NBA and talk about what we really stuff we really need to talk about. Greg: Absolutely. Jax: Draft lottery, what everyone's been waiting for. ⁓ Yeah, the ⁓ the draft lottery's officially been passed. We talked about it ⁓ a couple days ago, or I think last episode. Adam Silver ⁓ keeps running the NBA, but now this 3-2-1 draft lottery system. The teams four through ten in the standings, they'll get three lottery balls. The bottom three teams will get two lottery balls, and the playing teams will get one to two lottery balls. This flattens the odds. No top no top five picks in c three consecutive years and teams cannot pick number one in consecutive years. Adam Silver, what the fuck? Greg: the only thing I really wanted to bring up about this, because I know I'm finna rant about New York Knicks and Spurs. We can talk about Sacramento ⁓ and that other We got so much to talk about. My main thing was basically to say that the ⁓ these next three the lottery is supposed to be like the ping pong balls, they're supposed to be televised. Like we're supposed to actually see it this year, ⁓ this upcoming year. And I thought that was different versus just seeing a nigga just tell us what the fuck is gonna go on instead of seeing the ping pong ball with the Jax: Yeah. Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: team logo on it, that's supposed to be the difference ⁓ next year. That was my main reason why I even brought that up. But ⁓ on some other shit, I mean, ⁓ do I care? I don't. We we already talked about this last week. Jax: But ⁓ let's still keep with the NBA and more reasons or more ways Adam Silver's ruining the league because he's starting to implement AI to review calls. He's doing this shit. Alright. And I was able to 'cause y'all can see the screen, right? All right. So this is what he had to say on the Pat McAfee show. Dana Dane: Yep. Mm-hmm. Jax: Like my whole thing, like AI be wrong. And it'd be wrong a whole lot. I don't like I feel like if you just wanna do like something Dana Dane: Well, AI is just pulling data from data that's already published. It's not creating something new. It's just reusing what's already out there. So where if they're gonna use this system, it sounds good on paper, but like you said, like there's no like do you think AI would have got that shit right? They it might have still called it Spurs Ball. There's no guaranteeing or ⁓ Thunderball. Greg: Fuck. Jax: AI'd be wrong. Like if if you want to do if you want something where it can like easily ⁓ find out if stuff is out of bounds and put like a little sensor in the ball and like a sensor on like around like the ⁓ whatcha? The ⁓ the lines on the court or whatever so you can see if it went out of bounds or something like that. Like I don't I just feel like everybody's trying to implement AI into everything and AI be wrong all the fucking time. So I don't I don't like it. I don't get it. But like I said, Adam Silver, he listened to Twitter. Greg: I don't I mean I don't really have Jax: You say what? Greg: I don't really have no issue with this one, I'm not gonna lie to you. I thought I thought this one was gonna be like some ⁓ man, like, this some bullshit. And I'm just like, yeah, here talking about AI gets this shit wrong, I ain't gonna lie. Them fucking rats be getting that bitch wrong too. So I'm like Dana Dane: All the time. Like if AI if AI can get right that c ⁓ Kasen Wallace Golden, then okay. You know what I'm saying? Jax: So what the fuck is it like she wrote? Greg: Yeah, I'm saying like it Jax: I know you all people are talking about gold and say Greg: Crazy. All right, nigga. ⁓ anyway, like I was saying, like I was saying, I'm like, look, look, is AI perfect? No, it's not. Are these niggas perfect? No, it's not. But if if there's a significant, you know, we you I'll say this. You know what AI isn't or doesn't have, or at least not yet? It doesn't have fucking ego. So shit, like we can figure this shit out. Like, I would rather look at AI. Dana Dane: Will be no be goaltend. Jax: Then What's in the right? Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: That's what you think, actually. That's what you think. Greg: I would I would rather deal with AI where it's just like because I'm I'm thinking it in the sense of like how ⁓ baseball is doing their ⁓ review on the Jumbo Strong for strikes and whatever the fuck because that's that's still technically AI. ⁓ how they're how they're implementing all that stuff. So, you know, they can add some sensors or do whatever the fuck it is, but Jax: Yeah. Greg: Yo, I'm not trying to go into an ego match with Tony Brothers that didn't see the fucking ball go out of bounds versus clearly seeing that a basketball is out of bounds. I'm not trying to waste a challenge for a clear out of bounds call. Like, yo, this is out of bounds. Why am I wasting my one of two challenges of the evening over that versus we can use this challenge for actual like debatable type of ordeals where you have to look at like why why are we spending two or three minutes? discussing was this bitch out of bounds. And like I said, AI can get it wrong. But I feel like, yeah, who hit it out of bounds? Yeah, like who was that off of? Like we out here discussing this shit and we out here stopping the gameplay. If we can get something that's gonna be more, a little bit more instantaneous, I'm willing to try it. I'm willing to see how this shit because we're not getting out of AI. AI is going be a part of our shit for the rest of our lives. We're not gonna be able to explode it. Dana Dane: No, that just out of bounds. Who who hit it out of bounds? Cause we know it went out, but like who was it off last? We cli everybody saw Greg: We're just gonna have to understand that this is a tool and we're gonna have figure out, ⁓ to keep it out of the hands of evil and figure out, you know, how to better use it. Cause it's not going away. If there was a chance of getting it away, then sure, but nah, like this is this is the future. We might as well know how to fucking do it. ⁓ versus dealing with fucking Tony Brothers all fucking day. Give me a break. Dana Dane: Yeah. I agree one thousand percent with that. Like I don't Jax: There is there is a there is a chance to get AI out of the way, but that's a that's a conversation for another day on on another platform. So I'll I'll I'll die. Greg: FBI, you didn't hear that shit from me, nigga. I want you to know what am I my FBI agent? I didn't say those words. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Ha ha ha. Jax: But no, let's get let's get to the real the real nitty gritty of the podcast why while we're all here. it was a a tough a tough battle yesterday, or last night rather. But the San Antonio will be going to the NBA Finals to face the New York Knicks after they beat the Oklahoma City Thunder one eleven to one ⁓ three. And I feel like it's one of the better game sevens we've seen in a long time. One of the better series, I feel like, for real. Although there was like it was Low key like blowouts in between and everything. But I think all in all, like this whole series was amazing. What we've all been sorta waiting for this entire season. Dana Dane: Yeah, I agree one thousand percent. ⁓ game one was legendary, game seven just as legendary. There were some duds in the middle. It wasn't like every game was wire to wire. ⁓ but it was competitive. ⁓ and the better team won, more importantly. ⁓ I'm not here to Greg: I ain't gonna lie, most most seven game I ain't gonna lie, most seven game series is not wire to wire. Like even when people talk about that twenty sixteen ⁓ comeback with the Warriors and the Cavs and stuff, like in the middle in between, there was some duds, but game seven was legendary, game one with fifty points was legendary, like yeah, so I mean d I think this is one of those I think this is one of those series is that people are gonna look back on for sure. Like people won't remember this series. Dana Dane: Yeah, that's that's what I'm saying like Yeah. There are some duds in there. Jax: Mm-hmm. Dana Dane: Yeah. Yeah. Jax: Yeah. Like game sevens have to be legendary because you gotta give your all out. And like SGA he like Dana don't don't be a hoe right now because we were talking we talked earlier and we were both like, yeah, SGA was the best player on the floor yesterday. Yeah, SGA he went out crazy, twelve for twenty one, he dropped thirty five points, yeah like I think a block, two steals, et cetera. But Dana Dane: Yeah. I said that. I and I'm gonna say that now. He was the best player on the floor. But it was too little too late. Greg: Mm. Jax: But Benjamin Chatanyahu, you pulled up and you dropped all of four points you played thirty three minutes, you dropped four points on one of two shooting. And the last time he attempted a shot, I believe it was nine minutes and thirty seven seconds left in the first quarter. I appreciate the defense he played because niggas were trying to dunk on him and stuff. And he was, you know, he was blocking them. Good job. No, Wim Wimby dunk Wimby dunks don't count because Wimby sevens like I'm I'm talking about like Dylan Harper try dunk on. I'm talking about like smaller people try dunk on him. It didn't work. Dana Dane: He d what are you what are you trying? He did. Greg: Yeah. Dana Dane: Yes it does! He's a bitch! Greg: Mm. Jax: And I said I told you they block I told you he blocked him. I'm let me can I finish my sentence? The small the player tried to dung on him. It didn't work. Wimby dung on him, of course, because Wimby he dunks on everybody. So I'm not like I'm not counting Wimby dunk because like it's like it's like an adult it's like an adult going into toddler when Wimby dumps on somebody for real. But like yeah, I did appreciate some of the defense he played, but my nigga Jalen Williams is out. AJ Mitchell is out. Dana Dane: Ha ha. Greg: Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. My bad. Dana Dane: My bad. I'm sorry. And that's big that's his big bro. Jax: You are the number two overall draft pick You are the number two overall draft pick that was supposed to be, you know, this unicorn player that's supposed to like change the franchise. Niggas thought you were gonna be like the cornerstone of this franchise. You they thought you were gonna be the best player. And you come out and you only drop four points. You only attempt ⁓ I would have I would have rather you drop four points on like one of like one of like fifteen shooting or something. So at least you fucking try. I'd still be upset, but at least you tried. that's supposed to like change the franchise. Niggas thought you were gonna be like the cornerstone of this franchise. You they thought you were gonna be the best player. One of two? Only two shots? That's d that's just like I felt I was disappointed, I'm not gonna lie. I I definitely thought he was gonna bring it. It's game seven. Yeah, yeah. ⁓ Only two shots? I was disappointed, not gonna lie. Greg: No, you were disres you were disrespected, Jax. That's what you were. You were disrespected as a fan. Fucking nuts, bro. Say the sl somebody say the slur, bro. I'll edit it out. Somebody say the slur. ⁓ okay. you were disrespected, Jax. That's what you were. You were disrespected as a fan. Jax: It's game ⁓ Yeah, Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: I'll edit it out. Somebody say the slur. ⁓ okay. Dana Dane: I'm I'm not gonna say it, but I'm I'm not gonna say it, but Jax: I don't know what slurred, but there's a lot of flurs we could use. I'm not going to I don't know what slurred, but there's a lot of flurs we could use. I'm not going to Dana Dane: We know and it rhyme with Baguette. And speaking with Baguette, that French nigga was We know and it rhyme with Baguette. And speaking with Baguette, that French nigga was all ⁓ in that Thunder ⁓ defense, offense. Hey, no bullshit though. Thunder. They tried. know, tried. Wimby was He showed a lot of signs of fatigue throughout the series game. He was tired. But when you have seven players go in double figures. Jax: Wimp was Wimp was tired of shit. Really everybody was tired of that game, I'm not gonna lie. Dana Dane: When you have Lou Cornette play the most important six minutes of his life with the block that saved the game, block ear around the world, when Jax: Okay. Greg: Sure. Jax: Hey, if Har 'cause if Harnstein ducks that, the Thunder win the game, bro. Dana Dane: Thunder are probably winning the game. Like that gate, that block saved the game. And like I said, ⁓ J Dub, he tried last game six. He was about to tear his shit off the bone. I don't know why they did that. Jax: Yeah, he turned to LeBron. I don't know, I don't even know why they attempted. I knew I don't think he's I didn't think even if even if OKC advanced, I doubt would have been able to play in the finals. Like I just yeah, I don't I really don't know why they even attempted Yeah, that was a waste of everybody's time. Dana Dane: ⁓ he wouldn't have and he would have been terrible. Greg: Yeah, that was that was ⁓ not a smart move. Dana Dane: But yeah. Greg: Yeah, I think yeah, that's bad. Cause I think ⁓ somebody said w w when it came to Luke Cornette, he was saying yeah, that nigga blocked that shit like that was Magic City. I was like, Damn, y'all gotta relax. Y'all gotta relax on that. But I will say, just to bring it back to chat real quick, because that shit disturbed the fuck out of me as as somebody that was in a lose lose situation. ⁓ 'cause I didn't you know, I'm not a fan of either of these teams. I was ruining against both of these teams. Jax: Yeah. Greg: And I'm looking at this shit as like Hitler versus Kim Jong-un. And it's like, fuck. Okay. And unfortunately, my granny is D is Dennis Rodman in this situation. And he visited Kim Jong-un. So unfortunately, I was like, okay, I'll just have to lean to the Spurs. Because if my granny's happy, then I'm happy. You know what I mean? Just some sentimental shit. But when it came to when it came to this chat shit, I was just like, bro, like, please don't have me like Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: Okay. Dana Dane: Day and you made the right choice. Jax: Okay. Greg: Defending unnecessary shit, cause Chet, what the fuck are you doing? It's it was it's not just the shot thing though. Like it's not just him having the like the shot attempts that he had, but it was the just the from the get go, that nigga wasn't playing into whatever the fuck Wimby had going on, bro. W Wimby is still young and impressionable enough where if that was Draymond Green, he would have got that nigga out of character already. Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: Wimby would have been young, like he's still impressable enough where just some Draymond type of mental activity, mental games would have had at least, at least in this game seven, he probably wouldn't have been as focused. Like there was just certain things you could have did. But the fact that you didn't even engage in it and you made the Spurs look like you a bitch ass nigga, that speaks volumes, bro. You have Devin Vassell out here saying, Yeah, bitch ass nigga, and you said not you did nothing. Dana Dane: That's what I'm saying. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. It's one thing when the bully being Wimby is bitching your your goons. It's another thing when the bully's goons is bold enough to talk shit in your face and you don't do nothing. That's how we know you. That's how we know the type of person you made up. And everything is amplified in the playoffs. So Greg: You did nothing. Jax: Yes. Greg: You not doing nothing? Jax: Hey, too. Dana Dane: Do I think this do I think the Thunder need to move on from Chet? No. If I'm being completely honest, no. But he needs to do a lot of soul searching because the Spurs are not going anywhere. Yes, you can you can dominate against anyone else in the league. We get that. We understand that. But at the end of the day, you still gotta go through that seven foot-five alien down there in San Antonio, Texas. If y'all wanna give back to that ring. And if you go keep. Greg: It's not your last matchup, you know? Dana Dane: No, it it it won't be for the next at least five to ten years. So it's like if you gonna keep showing up like this, then Sam Presty gotta make some gotta have some uncomfortable conversations and do some uncomfortable shit. Cause the last thing I wanna see is Giannis in a fucking thunder uniform off of this one series. I don't wanna see that. Jax: I'm gonna stop you, right? Like Giannis he's not coming to OK Cause one, like for what is worth Ch I think Chen is still young. I think like is he twenty three or something like that? So he's not yeah, he's still pretty young and this is like his second playoff series or whatever. So like and Chen is he's still good. He's an all star and everything. It's just like they're not gonna move off of him for a Giannis who Dana Dane: And then yeah, easy. Jax: is a ball dominant type of player. He doesn't really set screens. He's a little bit of a diva. I like Giannis, but he is a little bit of a diva. And Giannis is also going to demand his brothers have roster spots and one thousand percent the thunder going to be like, nigga, no. So that's also not that's another reason it's not happening as well for like the whole the whole Giannis to OK C thing is not happening. Dana Dane: Shit is twenty four years old. Greg: Yeah. Jax: And they're not getting rid of Chet because he still like he still has a lot of promise. It's just like you said, he needs to do some soul searching or whatever. Cause if you're supposed to be one of the next great big men, Devin like I like Devin Vassell. He's a great basketball player. He's six foot five. You're seven foot one. He should not be able to guard you. And he was he was actually actively guarding this nigga, like preventing that yeah, Champagne, even though Champagne is probably like six eight, but like Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: Nigga got Dana Dane: He was guarding him. Him and Champani. Jax: He still shouldn't be able to guard if you really want if you really like that, because there's no other great defensive bigs in the league except Wimby, AD, and Rudy Gobert are probably like the last great defensive bigs left in the league. Like you should be able to head should be able to get his game off on anybody else. And he couldn't do that against Julian Champigne. And then also like Champagne in there was putting his daughter and moving him around and like treating him like he was weak, though. You say what? Dana Dane: Yeah. you know you know who was waiting waiting on him on that weak side though? I'm saying you know who would have been waiting let's say he tried to do get it his offensive bag. When we would be waiting there on the weak side w erasing every single thing he gets. Now Jax: Still still Nick, I I need you to try. Two shots, I need you to try. Greg: No no wait. And then on in a and on top of that, and on top of that, what a not what what we haven't even discussed yet or even even brought up to the thing, is it's like, yes, you had your two attempts in the first half, and in the third quarter, yeah, I'm a bitch. You know, you know, it's one of those, yeah, Chess a bitch, he's pussy, it's whatever. Nigga, when we're in the fourth quarter and it's six minutes six minutes left, and there is Wimby has five fouls and nobody on that team tried to attack. Jax: That was that was the crazy part. Like, bro. Greg: Nobody tried to attack this nigga. That's what I would have gotten into Chet's bag right there. I would have been like, hey yo, get to the room, nigga. Dana Dane: Well, d no no no no no no no. So they they did 'cause Hornstein got him in his fifth and then Mitch Johnson took him out. Okay, no, we gotta stop this. And then that's when the Cornet six minute ⁓ six minutes of hell for the Thunder went on. I mean, he wasn't really even going crazy to that block. That block kinda saved the season. Nah, it was just a block. Greg: Whatever bore blood. Jax: Yeah, it really wasn't six months of hell. It was just it was just a block of hell. Like the block of hell. Yeah. Yeah. Greg: That that that block that block that block that turned into like I don't know if that was a two or three, but like they converted off of that block. So it's like it it went from like a four point it was like a four point swing off that alone. Dana Dane: But the black changed the entire game. Yeah, it was a four point swing. Greg: Fucking crazy. Dana Dane: So yeah, it is I think Yeah. Do I think the do I think the Thunder need to overreact? No. But they need to sit down. They need yeah, they need to get healthy. J Dub, ⁓ whatever the hell is wrong with your legs, 'cause three hamstring strains in the span of one season? I hope so too. Greg: No, absolutely not. Jax: This need that you can get healthy though. This is him I'm I really I really hope he's like okay like career wise 'cause that's too many hamstring strains and he's only he's young and it's all like back to back to back to back to back. Like that's frightening for me. Dana Dane: Yeah. So I just need him to get in a ice bath or something or just get healthy. Greg: Yeah. Yeah, I told I told Jax, I told Jax ⁓ a while back. I'm like, yo, I f after that that second turn, I'm like, bro, he he's out for the rest of the season, bro. Like, I I don't know why you tried to force that that game says anytime anytime you have a a hamstring in general. I learned that shit from James Harden. Bro, you gonna have to let that shit re even when you think you're good. Just give it up, bro. Like Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: I I learned I learned that I learned that from Julio Jones. Like once his hamstring was gone, he really wasn't good no more. Cause like you need exploding hamstring to be explosive, bro. And once those are gone, you can't do nothing. You can't move. So and then you can't even like get surgery to heal it. You just gotta like wait until it heals. Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: Yeah, ch Dana Dane: ⁓ exactly. Greg: Yeah, next season is probably the the st the most stacked this Thunders roster is gonna be. ⁓ because come twenty twenty eight or whenever that fucking ⁓ expansion draft happens with those two teams, they're gonna be picking at ⁓ OKC, which means they need to figure out how to get into check. Yeah, and San Antonio, you know. ⁓ there's gonna be a few teams they're gonna gonna pick at. Like this is gonna be the most important summer because yo, Chet, i you know, the Dana Dane: Yeah. And San Antonio. Greg: It it was a blessing to be able to sub out Chet and bring in somebody else real quick because they had the bench to do so and it wasn't like a huge drop. W after this expansion draft, you're not gonna have that same luxury, at least the the first season, to just be like, Okay, ⁓ let's go ahead and sub him out real quick. No, he needs to have some type of dog. Well, I mean, if you don't have it if you don't have a dog by now, you're never gonna have it, I'm gonna be honest with you, but Jax: Yeah. Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: You gotta at least play better than this. You gotta shoot better than this. Jax: Wait, how wait we got wait we gotta see how old he is. We gotta do the we got what's it was it was the age twenty four or twenty two? I can't remember. I'll always be forgetting. Greg: Bro, it was twenty-four. It's twenty-four, but that doesn't like you don't you don't like get dog off of just like that's just something you're born with. He's twenty-four? ⁓ he turned twenty-four on May first. ⁓ it's ⁓ it's over, nigga. Jax: ⁓ Chet turned twenty four. Chet turned twenty four on May first. Dana Dane: Ha ha ha. Yeah, you twenty four. Jax: Yeah, bro. Dana Dane: It's over. He is who he is. He is who he is. My name is Chet. Chet is a front runner. And what I mean by that is you you don't even have to go whole season just like this playoff run alone. He was dominating. He was averaging what? A double double? He was like sixteen ten or close to it. Jax: It might it might be over. That's not really like that's not balling. That's Evan Mobley numbers. Respect to Evan Mobley. Respect to Evan Mobley. Greg: That is true. That is evident. Eighteen that is eighteen and eight. That is eighteen and eight, nigga. Dana Dane: Ever na disrespect to everybody? Jax: Yeah, that was like Chen was do Chen was doing eight eighteen and eight, bro. Like that's Dana Dane: Chet was doing good. And he was doing a little bit better against the Lakers. No, the Lakers couldn't really. But he had games where he stepped up. He was a no-show this season, this entire series. And if you're not going. My thing is, you have to pick a struggle. Either do some shit offensively, or if you just be like, okay, I can't do shit offensively because Wimby's in the paint. I'm gonna make his, I'm gonna. Jax: This entire series. Greg: Yep, you do. Dana Dane: do I'm gonna be a fucking defensive eraser. Nothing is coming in his paint. And he wasn't even doing that. Greg: Yeah, you I ain't gonna lie. And this this hurts Jax even more because like when when it comes to a nigga like Chet, like Chet is the reason why some of his biggest ops is still employed right now. When you look at a Chip, Chet in this series is the reason why Draymond Dr Draymond Green still has a fucking job. Cause nigga, what? I'm saying, like all this soft ass shit. Like and like being such a no-show. Dana Dane: So Greg: Like this, like Draymond like if w like I'm saying, like Wimby doesn't really like he's not pushing niggas around like that just yet because he still needs to get his man body. Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: I mean he he tried to murder Nas Reed. Greg: Well true. True. He's he's evolving. He's evolving. He is evolving. But it's just one of those things where I'm just like being being soft. Jax: I did. Dana Dane: He was he was provoked, he was provoked, he was provoked. Jax: He he was he was afraid for his life, he was scared for his life, Dana. Dana Dane: You have you're getting tugged, pulled, jumped on the whole fucking series. If you weren't wine before that elbow, he was literally getting grabbed by Jade McDaniels and he was frustrated. I don't condone what he did, but the nigga was frustrated. Greg: ⁓ well. Jax: You like the You like the people that make excuses for police shootings, bro. That's what you sound Greg: ⁓ wow. That's crazy. When you soft like like Chet was this past series, bro, it gives vi it gives validity to the hey yo look, all I gotta do is make sure that my opponent is a bitch. It don't matter how good he is, don't matter how good Chet is offensively. Draymond can bit you and you're losing. You're losing the battle. So Jax: Ha ha. Greg: I like I'll be talking shit about Draymond Green, but I'm like, hey, I ain't gonna lie to you, Draymond Green would've been a lot more impactful with the with the OKC Thunder in game seven than this fuck ass nigga Chet was today or yesterday. And that's just that's just is what it I don't even like the nigga like that, but I call a spade a spade, bro. Jax: Like if Draymond was there, he might if Draymond was there, he might have had like the same number of shot attempts, but he would have had more rebounds. He would have more like Chen ain't got no Chet only had four niggas only get four rebounds. But he would have had more rebounds, more assists, a s well maybe but same amount of steals and blah, he would have he would have been felt more on the court, bro. But Chet was thirty three minutes of cardio. But I for some like Chet, he's somebody that's like been this prodigy, number one overall recruit, this that and the third, like his whole entire life. Never really had Dana Dane: Rebounce, more assists. Jax: Like no like crazy basketball adversity. So maybe this will be something that he can like get get some hate in his heart and transform like Wimby did. Cause he never had he never had the experience to hate because he was better than everybody. But now hopefully he gets this he go he gets this hate in his heart and he turn he turns dark and starts starts. Greg: Have an art. Dana Dane: He should have had the hate. Well maybe he didn't have it because Greg: Hey, who ha who has a more Dana Dane: All I know is because he's more than likely gonna be on that Olympic team in 2028. And you know who else is gonna be on that Olympic team for France? Wimbert. And don't let, don't let a gold medal be on the line. I already saw your take, Greg, and I agree 1000%. Like the the the country, I mean, with the whole KG shit, like Jax: ⁓ fit. Greg: Fuck. All right. Yeah. Dana Dane: There's a select few of international players that are carrying the the world in a sense. So we don't have to rehash that, but I all I'm saying is gold medal game. Greg: But yeah, if it's a gold medal game and I gotta put I gotta put my life on the line for Chet versus Wimby, yeah, bitch, I ain't gonna lie, I my palms will be sweaty. I'm gonna still stand on my statement. But ⁓ my shit gonna be a little sweaty, nigga, cause what the fuck? This this is not this is not encouraging. Dana Dane: Especially if Chet is the starting big. Now we got Jax: At least but you but you at least have niggas like Ant Edwards there to take some of the pressure off that Greg: Yeah. It's true. Tatum. Cooper Flag, hopefully if he evolves. Yeah. No, I will I will say, I'll ask you this. I'll ask you. Please stop. Please stop right now. He could change my mind. I'm not I'm not ready to talk about Derek Queen right now. ⁓ Jax, one last question before we move on to like the finals matchup. ⁓ who has a more important off season summer? Dana Dane: Right, you'll have Ant, you'll have ⁓ Piet, he'll be there. ⁓ I'm sure Cooper Flag. Yeah. They Derek Queen. There you go. Jax: Titan problem. Greg: Jalen Durin or Chet Hongram as a big. 'Cause they both played pre ⁓ shitty. Jax: Think I think like for Jalen Duran individually is gonna be like important because like he's trying to get his money. So like that's one thing. But I think as far as like perception-wise, it might be Chet just because he's the last person that we saw. ⁓ these last person we saw, number one, his quote unquote rival, even though it's not really a rival. I guess his quote-unquote bully is ⁓ winning in the finals or whatever you want to call it. And like he's like the same archetype, and a lot of the concerns that niggas have had with Chet, his Greg: Sure. Okay. Yeah, the there we go. Jax: Grant, his career's been short, but all the concerns that we've had for his career's still been the same. We're like, ⁓ he's still a little bit not even a little, he's still too weak. He's not really built for like the clutch moments and everything. I remember last year in the playoff, like the moment I knew Chet was not like like that for real for like clutch moments, and hopefully it's something he develops, but like it was the Denver series. I can't remember what game it was, but it was like the fourth quarter or whatever. They needed to make two free throws. He got to the line. He just took like the shakiest side I've ever seen a player. And I as soon as he did that, I was like, ⁓ my God, he's going to miss these free throws. And lo and behold, he missed these free throws. They ended up losing the game. They of course won the series and subsequently went and won the championship and all that. But like that at that moment I was like, damn, he's really like the lights were a little bit too bright for him. But he'll never he's not Jared Allen, so he'll never say that quote out loud, but like still you can just you can see the lights get too bright for him. Greg: But that's his reality. Jax: So I think like perception-wise it'll be chet and just hopefully he comes back in the offseason or after this offseason is stronger and ready to go and ready to actually like step up into his role because it's fucking horrible. Greg: All right. Absolutely. All right, real quick to go into the NBA Finals. NBA Finals matchup is Spurs versus the Knicks. This is a rematch from the nineteen ninety nine series. ⁓ I think that was what Tim Duncan's first sub championship of I believe. For sure. ⁓ shout out to ⁓ Spreewell on the other end. Dana Dane: First finals and first championship. That was the lockout year as well. Greg: ⁓ for sure. ⁓ so ⁓ my question is purely who do y'all niggas got? Because in my opinion, i it's it's not gonna be an easy series one way or the other. I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't I don't think it's like whoever comes out the West they finna just dominate. I'm kinda off that. I'm not gonna lie to you. I think this next team is a little I think this next team is a little bit different. Dana Dane: Yeah, I know. Jax: Ha ha. Dana Dane: I I have I have Spurs in six. I was telling Jags earlier today, I would not be surprised if like the Knicks came out and stole game one just off the strength of rest that we just came off of seven game series. I mean, if they're able to hold off home court, if the Spurs are able to hold off home court, it's more likely gonna be a gentleman sweep. Cause I think the only games the Knicks can steal is game one when we just Basically got off the plane and we're tired. And we're j we're trying to come down from the high of winning the conference finals and also come down from the shock of like, holy shit, we're in the fucking NBA finals. Like outside of Wimby, I think everyone else might still be on that high of like, holy shit, this is the finals. Jax: No, Willby Wimmy gonna be on that high too. You saw his the emotions after the game. He's he's gonna be Greg: He's gonna be on he's gonna be on that high. He's he for sure gonna be on that high. Dana Dane: No, like the high but ⁓ he'll be he'll be wired. Like he was like I'm about to bust these niggas ass. Not Stefan Cash, like, holy shit, like I've never been here before. Like, not shake. But I think Miss Johnson's gonna get ⁓ right. Every at every sort of adversity that they've come across, they've had a answer. Like when they went down three, two, this Western Conference Finals that came back and ripped two. When they were down two one against the Trailblazers and everybody was like, ⁓ my gosh, the Spurs are not ready. They're gonna get upset. They ripped off four three straight without Wimby because he got concussed. And they try to say the same thing about the Timberwolves when they're like, Yeah, man, the Timberwolves like, and man, he's just healthy and ⁓ they just they they're just more they're just ⁓ experienced, you know. They tried to throw that experience around, but with the season we've had, the unique season we've had, we just have been gaining that experience through the playoffs. And mind you, we was in the lottery last year. We was in the lottery last year and got Dylan Harper. And the year before that, Greg: Yeah, we know. Yeah, we know. Adam Silver knew. Adam Silver knew too. That's why he did what he did. Jax: Exactly, bro. Adam Silver's the worst thing. This is all Adam this is all Adam Silver's plan to get running the finals in New York. Madison Square Garden. This is all Adam Silver's Adam Silver's never been happier. This is his master plan. This is his master plan in every year. Dana Dane: Ha ha And Greg: No, I I ain't this is his master plan because you why? You why is his master plan? These this is a rematch of the NBA Cup. Another thing that that nigga introduced. Yes. Dana Dane: Yeah. Exactly. This finals appear this finals just low key validated the NBA Cup and it stayed forever. Cause it stayed for it's not it ain't going nowhere. As much as niggas might wanna hate it because of this year, it ain't going nowhere. I don't I don't either. Jax: I'm sorry, I'm talking to you. Greg: It's not going anywhere. I'm not gonna watch. Jax: I'm not really I don't hate the NBA Cup I'm not mad at the NBA Cup. It was a ne it's I feel like it's still sort of a necessary, but I ain't mad at it. These players they're getting extra money when they do so I can't hate. Greg: So Yeah. Dana Dane: 'Cause I I remember watching that game, that NBA Cup game, and it was just like, fuck. Like in that moment, you could tell it hurt with me to my mind, it was just the NBA Cup, but that's some that's in a war, that's a championship. ⁓ mid mid season championship essentially. But I think that just fueled him even more, like, nah, we gotta get that that Larry. So Greg: Gotta get that learned. Jess, what you what you think? What you think ⁓ how you think it's gonna go? Jax: Like initially I think I think I do think the Spurs are gonna win. I wanted to say like Spurs and I I think I'm gonna keep Spurs in five, but like the more I like stop and like take a look at at like the series and the matchups and everything, like this is gonna be a tougher task than initially I thought because Kat has been I I wanna say Kat is Well, Cat's not as good defensively as Wimby, but Kat has stepped it up big time on defense. And on offense, he's like a big he's he's a big that can shoot, that can score from anywhere and like he's not scary. Like he will he knows he's he knows his job. He knows he's going to have to score. He knows he's gonna have to shoot. He's not gonna only attempt two shots and everything. And that's just another thing I'll have to contend with. And if they have Wimby doing his normal, like I'm just in the paint standing there. They're probably gonna have like a smaller person on cat. Cat's gonna bully them 'cause cat is big now. Like cat you like that old picture of ⁓ cat trying to get by DeMarcus Cousins or whatever, like he's not he's not that small no more. He's he's the bully now. Dana Dane: But these guards are not just little guards though. Like Stephon Castle, he got some strength to him. Dylan Harper was Stephon Castle's not gonna be guarding him. But Vassell and Champagny Jax: Catway's Catholic pieces. Exactly right. No no no. Bissell can guard Chet. Bissell can't guard Carly. No, he can't thank you. Dana Dane: He can guard Kat. Yes, he can. He was guarding Nas Reed. He was guarding Nas Reed in ⁓ Jaden McDaniels last season. Greg: I'm not gonna lie to you. Okay. Is not cat, nigga. That is not Coranthony Towns, nigga. I cannot let that slide. Jax: Nas Reed is not Nas Reed is not called the Fanny. Nasreed is and I like Nas Reed a lot. Nas Reed is really Dana Dane: When did we get this V when did we get this view of Carlita? I was like ⁓ Greg: What you talking about? The two times sixty point a ass nigga? What are you talking about? Let's not be disrespectful, nigga. Don't Don't let me put my cape back on, nigga. Don't let me put my cape back on. I ain't I ain't I ain't put this cape on. I ain't put this cape on since we had the DeAndre Aiden debate, nigga. Well relax. Relax, nigga. Jax: Cats always been like the top five figures in the in the field. Dana Dane: Nah. I Cat Car I'm not trying to be this I'm just trying to I'm just saying call Asley Towns. We are not scared of calling details, I'm telling you that right now. Greg: Nobody said you had to be. Jax: But I'm just saying Devin Cell, it's not like Devin Sell's not gonna guard him easily. Like that's the insane thing. Like Kat's like a top five center in the NBA right now. Probably what, three, maybe? Greg: That's crazy. Like relax, bro. Like, what do think? Who do you think this nigga is? You can't name four niggas. What are you talking about? Dana Dane: WH where is this coming from? Jax: What are you talking a top five second goes like Wimby, Jokic, and probably Kat is the third, right? Maybe A D if he's healthy, like who else? What are you talking? Greg: Who you putting over nigga? Jalen Durham? Jared Allen? Who are you putting over this? You're ⁓ okay. Hey, we hey Jess, we can move on. Hey I forgot what I was talking about. I didn't tell hey, I didn't bring up my predictions anyway. I need to tell my I need to tell my predictions. I forgot I forgot what hat this nigga was wearing right now. Let's let's let's relax. ⁓ as far as for me, I'm gonna be honest with you. ⁓ for the first time ever, I'm probably gonna go with Nixon Seven. Dana Dane: This season yes. Jax: Dang up. Dana Dane: Yeah. ⁓ Jax: Don't play. Okay. What what do you got, Greg? What do you got? Greg: Okay. I think it's gonna happen. I think this might go seven. ⁓ I think the worst thing. Jax: If it gets to seven, I think I think the Spurs got it if it gets to seven, 'cause Wimby's gonna lose his fucking mind. But also Jalen Burns will also lose. Greg: Well, if that's the case, then I'm gonna say ni I'ma say Nix I'ma say Nixon six then. I'm gonna say Nixon six. Cause I I just think people are kind of overlooking things. I'm gonna be honest. The worst thing that can happen to the Spurs is if they drop game one. I I'ma be honest with you. I think y'all gotta I think game one is probably one of the most important ones for the Spurs to just go ahead and get. Because that just kinda sets the tone. Dana Dane: I know, I mean it's but it's gonna be tough. Greg: It is gonna be tough, but that's this is the NBA Finals. Ain't shit supposed be tough. I'm just saying, like, I just think the momentum of coming into Madison Square Garden one one, I'm be honest with you. We already know MSG is legendary and fans are crazy. We have not seen MSG finals level crowd in year decades. I'm saying since nineteen ninety nine. ⁓ social media wasn't even a thing. Dana Dane: You're right. Jax: Ever. Dana Dane: It is true. Jax: ⁓ yeah. Greg: back then, you know what I mean? Niggas I w I was like what two? I don't one or two niggas. We were fucking infants. So I'm just like, I don't think people understand the magnitude of how hard like MSG was rocking. I granted, I don't think ⁓ y'all've never been to y'all never been to MSG, right? Dana Dane: That was a thing. Jax: We we're like big we were like barely things, bro. Like we we just we just live on earth. Dana Dane: I was becoming athlet I think Greg: I've been I've been once and they was playing the Rockets back when we weren't good like that yet. Like we were just we still had Cam Whitmore and I was still like a a fan of that nigga. And when I tell you them niggas was rocking back then, like you could feel like the the shit, like the arena shake. That was just for the fucking Rockets. Nigga, this is the NBA finals, nigga. I I think I'm not talking about Wimby. Jax: Yeah. Greg: I'm talking about the whole supporting cast, like they gonna have to get used to that game. That game three gonna shock them niggas a little bit. Dana Dane: How they gonna get fans in there though if they charging five thousand dollars a ticket? Greg: Nigga, they been charging $5,000 a ticket in New York. That's not that ain't nothing new. It's nothing but sele like diehard celebrity fans. Not them new not them LA niggas. Like you got like real niggas, you got spike lee level niggas. Like they're gonna find a way to get in that motherfucker. Like I can't speak for the Spurs. ⁓ the Spurs are diehard fans too. So they're gonna be, you know, they're gonna be represented well. Yeah, we're not gonna play. We're not gonna my my granny know, but Jax: They'll figure it out. Yeah. Dana Dane: Don't play on my top. Greg: I just think nobody's ever seen what that crowd looks like in New York in the finals. I think that plays a real part, at least in getting like game three. Like they might be adjusted by game four, but by game four, you're looking at New York being up two one. And now you're gonna have to play that behind game. So I think in in order for y'all's prediction to be right, for it to be like a Spurs in five or even a Spurs in six, I think game one has to be won by the Spurs. Dana Dane: That's true. I believe Greg: It has to be. Dana Dane: I but I I agree. I just know it's not it's not gonna be it's gonna be ugly. And if they win that game, if the Spurs win that game, like I wouldn't I wouldn't I wouldn't be shocked. Greg: Yeah. Yeah. Jax: Yeah. Wait, well the nuns if the nuns are there, then the Spurs are gonna win. If the nuns are there, the Spurs are gonna win. 'Cause that's ri that's really the only reason the Spurs won, bro. They had ⁓ we had the nuns and blessed. I'm not gonna ever the nuns came, they won, bro. Dana Dane: ⁓ you like? Greg: Ever ever ever look, I ain't gonna lie, everybody's better than Jalen Brunson until it's time to be better than Jalen Brunson. I don't know. I don't know. Dana Dane: I'm just saying he hasn't been guarded by Stefan Castle. So Greg: Okay. Jax: Respectfully, I think Jalen Brunson can cook. Like Stefan Cow can get cooked, bro. It's not like he's good, bro. He's very much cooked. Greg: I ain't gonna lie, I gonna lie to you. The only Dana Dane: It depend it depends on it depends on it depends on the whistle. If they if he's Greg: The only the only I ain't gonna lie, the only time I've seen Jalen Brunson struggle ⁓ is when he had to face either of the Thompson twins. Those are elite niggas, so that makes sense. But outside of them niggas, haven't really seen it. But that's fine. That that's why we that's why we play the game. Everything looks good on paper. Everything. Now, real quick, before we get into our hot takes, I know it's about that time. I do have a special blind reaction for the both of you. Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: And by blind reaction, I'm lying my ass off. It's a blind ranking. We're gonna get this TikTok off. It'll be a standalone, it'll be throwaway. ⁓ just to kind of keep the time down for the podcast. But to play on to the playoffs, I have a game for y'all to play. ⁓ basically the best the the best of seven. We're doing a seven game series of random things, random ideas, random topics. It doesn't have to be basketball. It can literally be anything. Are y'all ready? That's fine. All right. The first the first matchup that we have. If I can pull this shit up. ⁓ A three-day weekend starting on Friday versus a three-day weekend ending on Monday. Who wins that seven-game series? Dana Dane: Ending on Greg: And put a number and put a number on there. Dana Dane: I would say I'd say three day weekend ending like starting on Friday because that's the popular one. But I do believe that ending on Monday is slept on, but not over Friday. And I think that wins in six games. Jax: I'm trying to t I think think I might go I might go ending on Monday but like it's close though. So I do like ending on Monday at like seven I feel like. Greg: What would your answers change if this was not a holiday? Like these would this was just a personal PTO? 'Cause I think that kinda changes my answer low key. Jax: Person personal PTO I'd rather it be. Personal PTO I'd rather it start on Friday. But it's a holiday I would give it Yeah, but it's a holiday, let it end on Monday. Greg: ⁓ okay, bet. Dana Dane: ⁓ his personal Yeah. Greg: Honestly, I'm on the I'm on the flip side. I think if it's a holiday, I'll go starting on Friday. And if it was my personal PTO, ending on Monday, mainly because most of the time on Fridays, I can't speak for all the other jobs. Shit be kind of slow anyway on Fridays. Like niggas be ready to go. Niggas kinda leave early and then on Monday, everybody's at work. So I don't have to compete with niggas to do whatever whatever the fuck I wanna do. If I wanna go out and run some errands, do whatever the fuck, I can hit that bitch on Monday. Friday, everybody's out. It don't matter if you have PTO or not. It's gonna be crowded all fucking day. So I would say ending on Monday and seven, next Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: Invisibility versus flying. Dana Dane: Line. Flying in four. Jax: I'd say invisibility in like six. Cause flying is cool, but like there's a lot of stuff that come with flying. Cause like you in the air or whatever, what if shit flies in your face? Like you got bugs in your face. Now you crash. No one nigga. Like how fast can you fly? It's a whole lot of stuff going on. You go up there in the air, what's your oxygen? Like, can you breathe properly? It's a whole lot of factors you're not thinking about. I'm just saying it's a lot of can you breathe? It's a lot of factors y'all not considering when flying. Greg: Fly slower. We're we're goggles. Who you try Jax, who you try to hire from? Jax: I don't know, but I'm just saying, like I feel like that would be I feel like why have a lot of variables to it. Greg: My option is My my option is being in the air or being Chet Hongram in game seven. G nigga, give me give me flying. Give me flying, my nigga. Jax: But Chet Holmbrin is getting paid like $250 million. To disappear. To disappear. Like shit. Sound like a good deal to me. Greg: To disappear? That's bad. That's great. That's that's good. Dana Dane: When you put it that way, give me invisibility too. Greg: You know shit, you hey hey I ain't gonna lie, you kinda moved me. I moved. If it comes with the money, maybe I I'll hit that up. ⁓ but y'all all y'all all said y'all answers. My bad. Jax: Yeah. Greg: ⁓ Daniel, what did you say? You said invisibility in what? Four? ⁓ flying in four. Okay. All right. I got three more for y'all. ⁓ next one. I kinda already know where Jax is going with this one. ⁓ Chips and Queso versus bread and butter. Who wins this matchup? Dana Dane: the flying and four. Jax: Where am I where I don't know where I'm going with this. So I'm like, what do you think about it? Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: Well, I dn know how you don't really fuck with Mexican food like that. So maybe I like, ⁓ maybe he's I don't know. Dana Dane: Damn, that's crazy. Jax: But I don't fuck with Sosta, but chips and queso is cool. Dana Dane: Here's Jax: I'll go with bread and butter just 'cause I seven. Bread bread and butter is seven. Dana Dane: Bread and butter in seven. Bread and butter in seven. Greg: Yeah, bread and butter and seven. I think it's bread and butter and seven for me because I'm just like peak bread and butter versus peak chips and queso. It's like, damn, Texas Broadhouse gonna fucking clear every time. Okay, yeah. I'll go bread and butter and six, but that's a that's a tough one. That's a tough one. Next one. Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: Yeah. Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: Actually, not that said the pee any bread and butter are five, actually. Now that you said you thought of like the peaks and the peak like bread and butt like the best the the best bread and butter the best bread and butter can be ⁓ chips and queso. Greg: I see I knew that I see I knew. I knew that thing it was gonna be I I kinda knew. Dana Dane: Yeah. Greg: Yeah, that's Yeah, that's fair. All right, two more. ⁓ this is more of like when we were school age kids. Or maybe you're adults, who knows? I don't know what y'all do in in your free time. Throwing paper in the trash can versus slapping the door frame. No, you you know, like the you know, like you're dunking. Dana Dane: I was a I'm a trash can baller. ⁓ yeah. ⁓ trash can in six. Nah, nah, nah. Trash can in five for me. There's nothing like yelling Kobe in the classroom and you and you switch that bitch and the teacher can't say nothing because you made it. Jax: I'm a trash can. Trash can't afford. I really slapped the door frame. Greg: Try try getting a four. Yeah, trash can. Yeah, the the teacher can't say, Go pick that up, 'cause it's already there. I am I'm Kobe and this bitch. Yeah, I think, ⁓ yeah, trash can in four only because no nobody was impressed when I was slapping that door frame after I got a certain height. It was just like, Okay, nigga, you're supposed to do that. You're tall, bitch. Like, all right, well Dana Dane: Yeah. Yeah. Now where you elevate it is slapping the door but you dunking on someone. Like we have someone come through the door and you just yam on them. Greg: N I feel like niggas fight too much for that to to really be a thing, but at my school. Nigga punched the shit out of my jaw. Now we haven't now we're in the principal's office over some bullshit. Yeah, no. It's still trash. Just because of that, ⁓ trash canon four. Trash canon three, low key. Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: Yeah, the that's Greg: Shit. Niggas don't niggas don't like being disrespected in front of women. Ever. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Ever it don't matter what age it is, bro. That should unlock the memory. Final Dana Dane: I touched the spot. Greg: Nah, cause we just trying to have fun. Why you why you getting mad, nigga? Damn. We bind. Now all of a sudden I'm a bitch and my mom. It's crazy. Now I gotta defend her honor. Yeah. Shout out shout out to Teague Middle School in Umbull, Texas. ⁓ last, last and certainly not least, I gotta throw a f a sports win in there. Last matchup. Jax: Ha ha ha. Dana Dane: ⁓ Jax: Get the fuck. Dana Dane: Man. Greg: Adrian Peterson's MVP s ⁓ MVP season after coming off a torn ACO versus the twenty twenty five Tyrese Halliburton ⁓ run that ends in an Achilles tear. Who wins that matchup? Jax: Adrian Peterson in three. Adrian Peterson and two? Adrian Peterson and one. What? Dana Dane: Adrian Peterson in four. Yeah. Yeah, that's Greg: Damn. I was Jax: That nigga tore his ACL and then came back, ran for two thousand yards and won the MVP with Christian Ponder as his quarterback. Niggas not type Tyrese Tyrese went crazy, but he ain't win nothing. Granted, the Vikings didn't either, but at least AP won. He won the ⁓ V P that's something. Tyrese ain't getting nothing. Greg: Yeah, my head. Dana Dane: Gimme that Greg: Damn. I mean AP didn't win nothing either, nigga. What? Dana Dane: Yeah. He won MVP! Greg: Damn. Dana Dane: Was he the last running back to win MVP? Jax: ⁓ I believe wait, ⁓ didn't I say quant didn't? Yes, ⁓ it might have been A D, yeah, last one. Greg: No, secondo. Yeah, no, no. Dana Dane: Yeah, 'cause you want offensive player of the year, not MVP. Greg: ⁓ that's crazy. Dana Dane: Yeah, so it's like that'll probably be the last time we see some shit like that. Greg: Damn I was I was leaning like I it it was still it was still a ⁓ it was still AP for me, but I was like, okay, like AP and six. You know what I mean? Like like that Hall that Halloween runner was crazy. Like and it was the it was the playoffs and he he was it was in the game seven with the Thunder. Dana Dane: Nigga want comeback player and MVP in the same year. Jax: Yeah, I'm like, what? Mm-hmm. Dana Dane: Na It was. The hella band was in full effect. Jax: Now if if if he would have won, if he never toys if he would have won, then we would have had the conversation. Dana Dane: And there is a real chance they would have they could've won that game seven if he was healthy. There was a real chance. I'm not saying they could've. I'm not saying they could've. Jax: ⁓ one hundred fifty. They probably would have. They probably would've. He was going crazy. Greg: I'm sorry. I'm saying. I'm saying, bro. I don't know. Well Dana Dane: Haliban would have hit another tower. Jax: Bro, we need we need that we need I'm I'm ready for the Haliban next year. We need we need Tyrese back. Greg: I'm gear, I'm geared back up. I'm I'm excited. I'm excited for that. ⁓ but comment down below. did we cut yes or no? You know. Shout out to the to the seven game series. But finally, I do think it is about that time. The long-awaited hot takes of the week. And since we'll let our guests go first, Dana Dane, take it away. What is your hot take? Dana Dane: I I this high take doesn't bring me joy to say, but this is something that I just believe but hope that I'm wrong. My high take is that the next American MB NBA MVP is gonna be Cooper Flag. And the reason why I believe that is because Wimby and Chet. Or not Chet. Wimby and Shea and probably Jokic in there is gonna be kind of having a stronghold on that award for the next five to seven seasons. And it's gonna take like a historic run from like a Cade, an ant, a Brunson. To try to snatch snag that in there, but as that's going, those people are gonna be kinda coming out of the voter fatigue slash ⁓ they'll still probably be in their prime, but just out of that voter fatigue. And then I just think Coop, if he continues to progress and progress and progress, on top of, I believe the NBA is ready for not ready, but they want another like Larry Bird type. They're they're ready. Like they not ready, but they want that more than anything. Jax: Yeah. Yeah. Greg: No, no, you said it right. They are ready. Dana Dane: They they're they're okay with Luca, but if that nigga was from Utah and not Slovenia, they'd be all over that nigga like wine all rice. They would adore him. Jax: They would love you. If Luca was actually from Dallas. Greg: ⁓ my god. Dana Dane: NIG Greg: You think Jackson Dart's bad. Jesus. Dana Dane: So I think it's gonna be Coop. I don't really want that. I hope I'm wrong, but something just tells me it's gonna be him. Like, I would not be shocked if like in the next in seven years when we finally get American MVP, it's gonna be Cooper Flag. Cause by that time, like Ant, I don't I just think like He'll be past like he and he might even win a championship at that time and maybe finals MVP. But in terms of ⁓ regular season NBA MVP, it's probably gonna be cool. And I think the Mavs will probably be good enough. He'll probably be good enough to be in that running out and just just enough just good enough to be past the voter fatigue window of a Wimby Shea Jokic. battle, if that makes sense. So that's my hot take. Greg: I get up. Jax: I'm not mad at it. I could see I personally I think Ant has a good chance of winning an ⁓ VP. But they went like they one thousand percent want to give Cooper Flag an ⁓ V P. Like whenever he gets good enough, like maybe in like two, three years, when he's actually good enough, they're it's gonna be crazy. Like everybody's gonna be clamoring for it. So ⁓ that doesn't surprise but I think Ant has a good chance of winning ⁓ if he's healthy like 'cause if he stays healthy and Minnesota has like a top two record in whatever ⁓ in the conference or whatever. Dana Dane: I think so too. Yeah. Jax: Especially if I think wasn't Minnesota supposed to be like transferring to the Eastern Conference when they add teams or without arms tripping. Dana Dane: Probably it's either gonna be them or Memphis. Greg: Yeah, one of them two trims. Jax: Yeah, 'cause if he's on top of the east as well, like I could for sure see Ant and getting one. But I do I like your hot take though, 'cause niggas wanna eat they want they want that one. Greg: I could see K I could see Kate dealing with. Dana Dane: Yeah, they Jax: That's who actually Dana Dane: I I but I don't know 'cause it's Greg: No, I'm saying like out of all of the man like I don't know a lot of like American players where I'm like, okay, like they're they're in line where it it makes sense, where it they they have the ultimate star power and they don't have to share the ball too much where it affects the stats. Like Jason Tatum would be like a clear example of it could happen, but you have Jalen Brown next to you. So you're you're Jax: We gotta see we gotta see what Jason Tatum does like when he's actually healthy. So he might never be the same, we actually don't know. Greg: But even when he was actually even when he was actually healthy, he sh has to share the ball with with Jalen Brown, so like his stats will never look like a fucking yokage. ⁓ and everybody knows SGA is the guy, so that makes sense. Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: Well Jalen Brown won't be there. Jalen Brown won't be there for long, so Greg: ⁓ well. Dana Dane: Yeah, maybe if Jalen Brown moves, my take might change. If or maybe no, no won't. 'Cause Shay's gonna be too good. Wimby's gonna be too good, Jokic might steal one while he s coming out of his prime or coming out of the nuggets being good and terrible. But I just think it's just gonna be that stronghold. Yeah. Jax: Ha ha ha. Greg: They hate nigga. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Yeah. It depends. It on it honestly depends. Yeah. I like your hot take. Yeah. You know, actually I'm gonna go up next 'cause I I I don't even really feel passionate about my hot take like I used to, but ⁓ stop giving everybody an honorary degree. Actually, I don't even believe in honorary degrees. Stop giving niggas honorary doctorates, bro, and stop making them dress up in these cap and gowns to receive this shit. ⁓ once upon a time, the I think like the whole purpose of like an honorary degree or whatever was kind of like the contributions to whatever the fuck that you were, you know, getting yourself into. It's now turned into a fl ⁓ philanthropy event where if I just give you some money. ⁓ we're gonna say thank you for your financial contribution. Here's his fucking degree. Feel like it's disrespectful for I feel like it's disrespectful to niggas that actually have a doctor's degree. And I don't even want to get into the Cheyenne Bryant's of the world. ⁓ that's his own other category of bullshit. ⁓ and if you know you talk too much about ⁓ black women, they'll call you anti black. I'm really not in the mood for that shit. We're gonna keep it with the honorary degrees. There's no reason why trick daddy should have an honorary degree at a university. Jax: Mm-hmm. Greg: That don't nobody know in fucking Delaware. Why is a random university in Delaware giving you an honorary doctorate degree to your contributions? For what? I'm dead ass. Yeah, no, no, I'm dead ass. Trick Daddy has an honorary degree. ⁓ Sauce Walker, honorary degree. I'm not you think I'm fucking bl no, I'm saying like this is getting out of him. Jax: dead ass about trick daddy having an honorary degree. Dana Dane: What? What? Jax: allow it. I'll allow it. I like SauceWalker, I'll allow it. Greg: Hey, hey, hey, hey. It's the fact it's the hey it's the fact that that nigga That same fuck ass school. I think Delaware, I need look at the the school in Delaware. Delaware there's a school there's a school in Dana Dane: Ha Jax: And down the problem here. Dana Dane: From where though? Where is his degree from? What? What is I thought you was gonna say ⁓ T S U P V What? Jax: What is no wait a stupor? Greg: No. There's a ⁓ there's a there's a school in Delaware I forgot the name of it, but I think it is in Delaware. Where there's like a a I wish, but it's just like, yo, like, what are we doing with these honorary doctors' degrees? Granted, I'm not saying that people are calling themselves doctors when they get this degree, but I'm tired of seeing these fuck ass photo ops. I think it's incredibly disingenuous. It needs to stop. ⁓ honorary degrees were made for Dana Dane: Is it I C D C? Greg: ⁓ childlike prodigies, where it's like, yo, if he was to enroll in college, we really couldn't teach this nigga. Actually, he could teach us. That's when you give an honorary degree, cause the nigga know everything, and it's a fucking prodigy. But if you and I now these next few names I'm about to say, I'm these are not confirmed. I'm just saying, for the sake of argument, if you giving DJ Khaled and Nicki Minaj and all these other motherfuckers honorary degrees, you're out here watering down the purpose of a said diploma. And I think That shit is is dumb and stupid. And I think it should stop. Dana Dane: I like that hot take. Greg: That's my hot tape. Jax: I'm looking up I see Trick Daddy and Trina have a doctorate it's a school in Texas called Leaders Esteemed Christian Bible University. It's not real. Greg: Why is a why is a Christian Bible school giving out an honorary degree for musician for for music contributions, ⁓ that is from secular music anyway? Jax: It's in the woodlands apparently. Greg: That's that's even crazy. God damn, it's our city. Dana Dane: What? Greg: Our city is doing this? Jax: Well, there's locations in Texas and Florida, but one of them is in the woodlands. Greg: I thought it was Delaware. This is worse. Jax: Yes. Greg: No, but like that Bible that Bible university, ⁓ look look up look up the rest of them niggas. There's like other niggas in there. I'm just like, whoa, why are y'all here? Jax: Guess bro. I see one with there's a one with a whole lot of ⁓ gospel people on it, like Yolanda Adams and Erica Campbell, Sheila Jackson Lee, who else? ⁓ Fred Hammond has one from the school. T S. Madison. Farah Franklin, the former Destiny Child member, I guess. Paul Anthony. I funky funky Larry Jones, I don't know who that is, but he has one as well. Dana Dane: What? Greg: This school just beg ⁓ that's Why is T S Madison on him? Jax: I guess, bro. Greg: Why is this Bible school doing this? Why is this Bible school? Why did they give one to TS Madison? Dana Dane: Yeah, that's that's all we could say today. Greg: That that's a little controversial actually. I'm not gonna get into that, but Jax: ⁓ my listen I mean let me I I I have a wife let me let me get some hot Greg: Yeah, which is very interesting. Hey, Jess. Talk to me. Talk to me. Jax: All right, my hot take. I've been I don't even know if I might I feel like I might have said something similar to this, but I've been thinking about this for a long ass time. But Caseen Wallace is just Drew Holiday. It just hasn't unrealized just yet. But ⁓ he had a good game last game, ⁓ game seven, he dropped seventeen. But like Casey Wallace, when he came out the draft, I always thought he was more of a point guard, but The way the Thunder are set up, they're just like, hey, you are good at playing defense and shooting threes. We just need you to go attack their best defender and I mean attack their best offensive player and shoot the wide open threes when you get it. And Casey Wallace, he was giving his ⁓ what are they called? The end of the year like interviews or whatever with the media, and people were talking about him because like his extension is coming up and he may or may people were asking, like, do you want to stay here? Do you want to leave? And like, he said he's just dedicated to getting better and blah blah blah. And also talked about how he he liked more of a chance to have the ball in his hands and actually like lead the team like that. And I think that's really a role he would thrive in personally, because I think he can do all those things. Like he really is to me just like a Drew Holiday, 'cause he's amazing on defense. He can shoot. He's strong. He's athletic. He can do all the stuff. They just need to develop his ball handling just little bit more. And they can have him play in that point guard role and have SGA a little bit more off ball, 'cause that's and have have SGA off ball and like have him move a little bit more so it's harder to like get a read on him, harder to guard him, 'cause SDA succeeded in that role in the playoffs a little bit. So I think moving ca making Casey Wallace more of a point guard will unlock his true potential 'cause I think he's really like a all NBA. Like I think he's actually like he's an all NBA type guard, just hiding in plain sight on the Thunder. So I think that's my hot take. Like Tayson Wallace is just Drew Holiday. Like once it gets realized, he's going to cook. So yeah. Greg: one thousand percent agree that that it that that is a correct take. I think that he won't be able to experience that until he leaves. ⁓ it'll probably be like a Josh Giddy situation where Jax: Yeah. He already got a link, so we don't need do nothing. He can leave whenever, for real. Greg: Yeah, like it's gonna be a Josh Giddy situation where it's like, okay, like you can see like the Josh Giddy, like, you can see his game evolve as he has the ball in his hands more, even though he's he wasn't like the greatest shooter ever. and on top of that, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Sacramento Kings, they do have a lot in common where they are both great for the NBA ecosystem. ⁓ they just they they are able to bless organizations. With really great talent. ⁓ whether it be De'Aaron Fox, Tason Wallace, Josh Giddy, ⁓ Mike Brown, the list goes on. Tyler Tyrese Halliburton. And it does not ma Harrison Barnes. The the list goes on on how they are able to bless this ecosystem. Darryl Mori, too. He know he know he knows how to bless that ecosystem too. He definitely knows how to bless that ecosystem. But Jax: Harry's Halliburton. Mm. Greg: Yeah, I if I you know if he was to be in a situation like I don't know like the Houston, he'd probably thrive for You know what I mean? I ⁓ you might get like the best version of that nigga, you know what I mean? Like perfect fit, great. ⁓ two first? No? Two first rounds? Jax: Dog, Houston was perfect fit. I mean, I don't fucking know. They probably it's they'll probably get something else from somebody. They they like OKC has so many good players they can just like package up and get like high picks is crazy. And then I think people are saying they're gonna move off of Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joseph this off season just for like cat purposes and stuff. 'Cause people's contracts is kicking in. Those are like two players that people love. So Dana Dane: No. Greg: It's fucking crazy. Cool. That's good, man. But with that being said, man, before we even get into our last words, once again, man, I appreciate our brother Dana, Dana Dane in the building. Jax: It's crazy. Greg: The fact that that bomb takes so fucking long to end. Go ahead and, you know, tell people where they can find you, where they can find your platform. Dana Dane: You can find me and the host of the show, Wafi, on the redacted show. That is at the redacted show. No space, no uppercase on YouTube. We talk about all things cinema, all things neuroculture, all things in that umbrella. So if that is something you're interested in. Recently we just had an episode talking about the Michael Jackson biopic movie with these two gentlemen here. And go watch that. That is at a hundred views right now. We're trying to get to a hundred subscribers and just keep counting up. So again, be redactous. Life changing. Greg: Life changing. I've changed it. You wanna play Twist? You wanna play Twister? Y'all wanna play Twister? No, nigga. We're good now. Hey, hey, he said, Mike, we're good. We got Coochie now. We got Coochie now. Coochie's on the way. Jackson, your last words. Jax: Okay. Dana Dane: Talk to me. Jax: Ha ha Man, ⁓ go outside, go touch some grass, especially if your team just lost. You might need to go and breathe fresh air and get happy again. Go outside. But yeah, that's all I got to say. Greg: ⁓ as for me, ⁓ this is also ⁓ a constant reminder to check in on your strong friends because even your strong even your strong friends have bad days. And Jax, I'll I'll be I'll be in constant communication with you throughout the week. We're gonna get through this together. All right. When you hurt, I hurt my nigga. Like this not good for the pod when you low like this, bro. We got hey, we we got stuff to do. Jax: Ha ha ha. Probably seven. Dana Dane: Yeah. Jax: Bro, fuck you. Greg: ⁓ ro road to the ⁓ to the two K subscribers. ⁓ let's just let's just keep going. And without further ado, this is this is the Play for Keeps podcast. We'll catch y'all niggas next week.
