Transcript
- 0:01Hey, come on everybody, wake up so strong windshield.
- 0:03My name is Sean Green. Hope everybody's having a
- 0:05blessed morning. Hey, I know I've been gone for a
- 0:08while, but hey, I've been I've been busy right now.
- 0:12But as some of y'all will know, Russell Westbrook had decided to
- 0:16retire, man. I mean, damn, he decided to
- 0:19retire in the way when I don't quite blame him, especially with
- 0:24the options he had right in front of him.
- 0:26I will be done on this man yeah, I mean, Sacramento Kings didn't
- 0:31want to bring him back. Bring him back And then
- 0:34everybody around the NBA basically coaches running BA
- 0:38member I've pulled reported last time that was saying that Russ
- 0:42rubber is uncoachable. Russ Westbrook is uncoachable.
- 0:45Don't sign them. And that was that was one thing
- 0:48that was going around the entire NBA basically, and they
- 0:53basically he was basically what not I say I, I, I want to say
- 0:57this, but he was kind of blackballed, yes, but but hey,
- 1:01is it some of his own well doing?
- 1:03Probably, probably. So for real.
- 1:05Hey, I know somebody that wants to say, but it probably is man
- 1:07for real, for for real man, Hey, maybe he was uncomfortable if we
- 1:12were cooked, but still, he was a damn good point guard.
- 1:16I mean damn good point guard for real honestly, man, and he saw
- 1:21basically his options either each house is basically all he
- 1:24knew he was going to be still free agent once the once the
- 1:29season started, even though we're not you have some teams
- 1:32whenever European league don't want to assign them that wanted
- 1:34to sign him, but you want to go over there the basically he
- 1:38chose basically retire the way I don't blame him.
- 1:42I know some people in some people basically now going
- 1:44around saying what not he should have got a farewell farewell
- 1:47tour farewell tour. This is athlete he should have.
- 1:52I would say that he should have. He should have favorable tour.
- 1:55You should get a whole the whole 9 yards because of the bronze
- 1:58getting it. Lebron's getting it and playing
- 2:00the other of all NBA players getting that farewell tour and
- 2:03said that he's not getting one. Honestly, it really is sad.
- 2:06But what's in this though? I don't care what no one says, I
- 2:10really don't give a shit. Excuse my language.
- 2:13Russell Westbrook is a first ballot Hall of Fame.
- 2:17He really is. It really is from case your
- 2:20point. Hey, hey, I'm bringing up some
- 2:22stuff that that proves it for real.
- 2:24Oscar Robinson basically average average a triple double from
- 2:2819611962 and that was a record up until Russell Westbrook
- 2:33basically broke it. He averaged a temple.
- 2:36He averaged a triple double in 2016, 2017, 2017, 2018,
- 2:412018-2019, 2021. Four times, Russell Westbrook
- 2:46averaged a triple double four times.
- 2:50That's something that's something basically you will not
- 2:53see ever again in the NBA, period.
- 2:56A player, a point cut, having a triple double.
- 2:59He did it 4 * 4 times. Hey, hey, even though the court
- 3:06told that he did it twice, he did it twice.
- 3:08I have to give it to him. But for real, he did it four
- 3:11times. He did it four times also
- 3:14throughout his career. Russell Westbrook had 209 triple
- 3:18double S I'm saying it again, 209 triple double S Russell
- 3:23Westbrook average everywhere got out of the entire career
- 3:2720929209-I know everybody going to say oh, oh, oh woman guy from
- 3:32Denver when I did the court jokage, yes, the court jokes got
- 3:36one 98198 he did. He does right now 198 and I'll
- 3:42be honest with you, I got to say about I got to say about when
- 3:46you're almost towards basically what not to All Star break,
- 3:49basically almost All Star break, maybe even before that.
- 3:52He probably will pass Russell Westbrook.
- 3:54They will What's real. But still, hey, I still say
- 3:58this. Russell Westbrook is still a
- 4:00first ballot Hall of Famer for real.
- 4:02He really is still a first ballot Hall of Famer.
- 4:06But but I would say this stuff for real, the end the era of
- 4:12point guards that I, that I grew up with basically have 80s baby
- 4:16is is almost gone. John Wall retired, Chris Paul
- 4:21retired, Derrick Rose retired and now Russell Westbrook
- 4:26retired. Man, the last one standing is
- 4:29Steph Curry, man for Steph Curry's the last one.
- 4:32He's been in me 18 years. And what Steph Curry's going
- 4:35through right now is like, damn, it's like this.
- 4:39It's Saturday for real. Because because I'm up quarter
- 4:41reports step. Stephen Curry is going to be a
- 4:44free agent after this upcoming season and they have yet to give
- 4:49them a contract extension. So what is Golden State going to
- 4:52do? Honestly, for real?
- 4:53That's that's a big question everybody's mind right now.
- 4:55What are you going to do? Are you going to give them a
- 4:57counter extension? Are you going to trade them?
- 4:59Are you going to trade them for real?
- 5:01In my personal opinion, this was see, that's why I think it's
- 5:05what they're doing again, is my personal opinion.
- 5:09You're going to wait until you see how everything goes up until
- 5:12I say up until a point up until I say about the halfway point to
- 5:16see you probably didn't see what's going on, what's going on
- 5:19basically during the players and now.
- 5:20But up to halfway point and the third way, I guess they did feel
- 5:24that they're going to make they didn't make the playoffs, then
- 5:28they're not going to trade. And that that can trade them and
- 5:30gamble what not at all go forward, especially since
- 5:34according to reports, they should be getting Jimmy Butler
- 5:36back at the halfway point, honestly.
- 5:39But but if they feel they don't, I do, I do see them when I
- 5:43trade, trade Steph Curry, even though he will not ask for
- 5:48trade. Stephen Curry will not ask for
- 5:50trade. It's something that he will not
- 5:52do that he will not ask for a trade.
- 5:55And that's all real here. He won't for real.
- 5:59He wants to end his career in Golden State, but I don't see
- 6:01that visibly happening. I really don't because they're
- 6:05because they're running the same crew back again this year again
- 6:09this year and the focus on internal development.
- 6:12I mean internal development basically when that even though
- 6:15everybody knows you try to go to LeBron James and that failed and
- 6:20now you just screw this, screw this internal with us all
- 6:24internal basic and development or basic.
- 6:26Case in point, rebuild. And I say this against my
- 6:31personal opinion. If you're going to rebuild,
- 6:34trade him because he's a free agent as a decision and Jimmy
- 6:38Butler free agent after this season.
- 6:41If all you're going to do is rebuild, trade him.
- 6:45That's all I say. Just Just trade him for real.
- 6:48Honestly, just on trade him honestly, for real.
- 6:51Just just just get rid of him When I trade him on that just as
- 6:56the form if it's going to rebuild for real, man for real,
- 6:59honestly, and again, that's my personal opinion, but a going
- 7:02back to Russell Bay, but going back to Russell Westbrook, man.
- 7:05But hey, yo-yo, man, he's I know he's cocky ever since ever since
- 7:11LA is LA is he like he's been blackballed and everything since
- 7:16this was the Lakers and everything man and say I know
- 7:20this he's first by Hall of Fame. He should have got a farewell
- 7:23tour and said that he's not getting a farewell tour.
- 7:26It's kind of fucked up. It did all this stuff for LeBron
- 7:29James, man for real. But Russell Westbrook, these are
- 7:32the same thing, man for real. Yo, he beat Oscar Robinson's
- 7:36record and Oscar Robinson is a legend.
- 7:40He beat our first leg. Let record man for real.
- 7:45What where Westwood did would not be.
- 7:48I mean damn, I don't think we duplicated man.
- 7:50I mean Four Seasons, everything a triple 44.
- 7:55He did a four. I mean, damn who?
- 7:59I mean, you'll be lucky to see that ever again, man for real.
- 8:03Honestly, man, and top that off. What not when I'm KD left
- 8:08Oklahoma. What's the West book?
- 8:10Hold it down. He did he hold it down and I'm
- 8:13Oklahoma. He really did healed it down,
- 8:15man. I know everybody gonna say when
- 8:17I owe. He didn't get a ring.
- 8:19He didn't get her. He didn't get a ring.
- 8:20Yes, yes, I agree with you. He didn't get the ring.
- 8:23He came close. But hey, but hey, man, for real.
- 8:26He's still first by Hall of Fame used to be looked at up there
- 8:30basically as as as one top point guards in the NBA.
- 8:34I'll be dead honest. You'll be looked at as one of
- 8:36the top point guards in the NBA. He he really will be man for
- 8:42real man. Hey, even though AI don't blame
- 8:45him, I don't blame for what he did.
- 8:47I really don't really don't blame the schools This.
- 8:49I rather retired and go to Europe because he got money.
- 8:53He got us something good. He got us something doing
- 8:55basically we're not off the field basically got built off
- 8:58the field basically. But but it's kind of effed up,
- 9:01man. Yo, it's craft Amanda way he got
- 9:03treated. I got to say this in a way also
- 9:06Chris Paul got treated. Both of them got treated kind of
- 9:08effed up. They already did.
- 9:10And both of them wrestlers with Chris Paul are damn good point
- 9:14guard for real, man. And hey, it's kind of messed up
- 9:19in that both of them didn't get the farewell tour or the
- 9:23treatment they deserve when I come to retirement, basically.
- 9:26Honestly, man, it's kind of messed up.
- 9:28I guarantee once the blind retires, more volatile, volatile
- 9:32and probably maybe this year he didn't get the old farewell
- 9:35treatment. Everything blah, blah blah,
- 9:37roses whole, the Rose horn whole, whole whole deal and
- 9:40everything saying they should have went to Westbrook and Chris
- 9:43Paul, especially W Westbrook, for real.
- 9:47But they, again, that's my personal opinion.
- 9:50Hey, I'm a Knick fan saying this.
- 9:51I'm a Knick Knicks fan saying this for real.
- 9:54All right, man, age. Here's the players that retired
- 9:57this year, man, it's damn because it's been inside this
- 10:00year. Russell Westbrook retired this
- 10:02year, joined by Cal Lowry and Chris Paul.
- 10:06But I would say this, though, about Chris Paul and everybody
- 10:10and everybody would agree with me if the San Antonio Spurs do a
- 10:15last year's offseason would have kept Chris Paul instead of let
- 10:22him go to free agency. And everybody's under Chris
- 10:25Paul, baby, Spurs would have won the NBA Finals.
- 10:30Maybe sure that we found that, I would say, and that's probably
- 10:33going to be the main question went up for years and years to
- 10:36come. And that's going to halt
- 10:37basically in San Antonio Spurs. If you would have quit Chris
- 10:40Paul, you probably would have won the NBA championship because
- 10:45every game NBA championship, let's just say you you blew
- 10:50double the lead. Every single game gives a game
- 10:55and you got young squad basically and it's and it's a
- 10:58young problem. But if you had Chris Paul in
- 11:00there, everybody know Chris Paul is everybody.
- 11:03Chris Paul is in a way. I don't blame the old school.
- 11:05Let's show you how much NBA change the old school.
- 11:07He's that person that will call you out on your BS if you effing
- 11:10up. He will do it.
- 11:12He would do it as old scrum age baby.
- 11:15I recognize that old school for real, but he would have done it.
- 11:19It would have corrected it. I guarantee you Spur probably
- 11:22winning championship but hey, but you didn't my next one.
- 11:24Thank you. Hallelujah for real man.
- 11:27Hey, Hallelujah for real. But but I also will say this
- 11:31though, I do believe W Westbrook jersey number should be retired
- 11:36when not hanging the Raptors in Oklahoma.
- 11:40For real. He helped build that franchise.
- 11:42He really did him, James Harden and KD, this thing, all them
- 11:47dudes came from the same spot. I mean, damn.
- 11:51I mean, if I'm a gentle manager at that arrow, what did you do?
- 11:54You mean if you should have, you should have did whatever you
- 11:57could. They kept that crew together and
- 11:59you didn't do it. I mean, damn.
- 12:03I mean, damn, Oklahoma memory, Oklahoma, Oklahoma City Thunder,
- 12:07y'all had, even though they're doing good right now.
- 12:09We'll do good right now. You do good right now.
- 12:11Hey, hey, you're good right now. Number one team, what happened
- 12:15in the NBA? But I will say this man, when
- 12:17the team first started, y'all had James Harden, Russell
- 12:22Westbrook and KT and y'all damn. But I'll give you all respect.
- 12:28I go to homeless eternity respect you have bounced back
- 12:31got bounced back and made some good pigs and do what you was
- 12:33doing. Nobody believed the job the big
- 12:36job but you kept the progress anyway and look what I have
- 12:39looked at These are now for real.
- 12:40You know I would say this though, if you don't want to
- 12:43make it to NBA championship this year the role to royalty NBA
- 12:47championship will go through. I will say this will go through
- 12:50San Antonio and search center did make some proves went off
- 12:55the bench for real. Honestly, they make the rule
- 12:56about the bench. Hopefully, hopefully what not
- 12:59they learn from them six NBA Finals against my next.
- 13:01Hopefully you learn and was like he did, but he did basically and
- 13:06and the spurs basically will come back with a vengeance,
- 13:10commit vengeance for real. But I would say this though,
- 13:13Hey, what's the Westbrook man? What's Westbrook?
- 13:17He's gone. He's going to be retired man for
- 13:19real. It's sad that he didn't get that
- 13:21favor to he deserves man. He he should have gotten 1 hey
- 13:25in the NBA era is coming to in man for the NBA era that grew up
- 13:29with man era point guards. I'm coming to end man for real.
- 13:33I mean dance coming to end man Hey hey, I'm going to see what I
- 13:38was going to have it what not with the Los Angeles Clippers
- 13:41man through. I'm glad he was going to have
- 13:42the with the Clippers man for real.
- 13:44I am glad he was going to have man for real.
- 13:46Also also switching gears here at one of the baseball and with
- 13:50some people doing here about baseball, we're not but a base a
- 13:54well, baseball baby, supposed to wind down, but sort of wind
- 13:56down. Ain't that many games left for
- 13:58real. But the shocking thing I got to
- 14:01say is this man for real. Shocking thing I say is this is
- 14:04the Boston Red Sox. I mean, damn the boss, the
- 14:09Boston Red Sox man for real. From July 2nd to August 7th, the
- 14:13Boston Red Sox were 27 and three dominating, dominating for real.
- 14:18But ever since August 8th, I mean, Jesus Christ, it was
- 14:22August 8th, August 8th, August 11th, the Boston Red Sox has
- 14:26been over 401. Four move from hot to cold, hot
- 14:30to cold. You want a four-game losing
- 14:32streak? Fucking going to lose the streak
- 14:35and you just been losing. Do the baseball games and
- 14:37there's teams who everybody know you should be winning.
- 14:40You have one of the easiest schedules, schedules left.
- 14:44You schedule left for end of the season and you losing as teams
- 14:47and you're supposed to be beaten as you're supposed to be beaten.
- 14:51Honestly, man, for real. I mean, damn, I mean, game is
- 14:55really not looking good. We'll talk for the Boston Red
- 14:58Sox. It's not.
- 15:01It's not for. And right now you're 4 1/2
- 15:04really, even though right now you have the second wild card
- 15:06spot. Yes, you do.
- 15:09But you're 4 1/2 games back at the top box card box card spot
- 15:12for the Yankees. And the more you lose, the more
- 15:15the more you lose, the more the Yankees keep pulling away and
- 15:18pulling away and pulling away for real.
- 15:20And speak of the Yankees, honestly, for real.
- 15:23I guess about the Yankees. Yes, Yankees been winning games.
- 15:26Yes, they have. But I will say this.
- 15:28What's been helping the New York Yankees have been their starting
- 15:32pigeon. The starting pigeon has been
- 15:34awesome. But your batting has been
- 15:36garbage for this. Case in point, last month, this
- 15:40past month, right? The Yankees other team, the
- 15:43whole last month has 789 at bats.
- 15:47Their batting average were 204 in July.
- 15:50I mean, damn, you had you had 24 batting average.
- 15:55That's that's as a team. As a team that's lower.
- 15:59That's that's lower is our better.
- 16:02That's lower than Tim Tebow's mighty league career.
- 16:06Out of Tim Tebow's whole time my league career, he's still
- 16:09averaged average, a better batting average then the New
- 16:14York Yankees did in the month in the month of July.
- 16:16That's sad. That is damn sad.
- 16:19I mean damn, but hey, we'll help the Yankees.
- 16:22The winning games winner so far in August has been the starting
- 16:25pitching. Hopefully they're starting
- 16:27pitching holes up. Kobe holds up on that and the
- 16:31Yankees can continue to win it for real.
- 16:33Because honestly, I don't see the Yankees catching Tampa Bay
- 16:37Rays who who are on the 9 game-winning streak.
- 16:40I don't really see that happening.
- 16:42I really don't. I honestly, I really, really
- 16:44don't. They really don't for real.
- 16:47He'll piss me off. He'll piss me off about the
- 16:49October Bay raise. I'll be honest with you again,
- 16:52this again, this is me being honest, right?
- 16:56The Timber Bay raise again have one of the lowest batting as
- 16:59well the lowest payrolls in baseball.
- 17:02But I would say this, the scouting is the best in baseball
- 17:08because the team, they have one of the lowest, the lowest
- 17:10payrolls in baseball every once in awhile continues to come out
- 17:14with best players over and over and over again.
- 17:18That tells you something about the scouting system.
- 17:20What pissed me off about about the rage, and I know it got to
- 17:25the point to where everybody knows this, right, is that
- 17:29nobody goes to the damn games because everybody in that part
- 17:33of Florida are Yankees and Mets fans.
- 17:38Because where do Yankees and Mets do the spring training down
- 17:41there in Florida? They really do.
- 17:44So most of the people in that area are Yankees and Mets fan,
- 17:48mainly Yankee fans. Let's just be honest.
- 17:52Let's be honest, man, for real. I mean, you got a governor down
- 17:57there who are refused to let the team what, not move somewhere
- 18:01else. Even though I would say this if
- 18:04the team was moved somewhere else would not give them four or
- 18:07five years, maybe more didn't want top teams were not in
- 18:12baseball because he got damn good scouting, damn good front
- 18:16office. I really do.
- 18:17But it's not their fault that people people at Tampa are
- 18:22throwing away their games. Even they're doing good.
- 18:24They still average low attendance rates.
- 18:26They still do only time the tennis gets high.
- 18:29It's been real here is a Tampa Bay is with Tampa Bay face the
- 18:33Yankees Red Sox Red Red Sox, a notable team the American League
- 18:39honorable in the nationally. I'm just being honest here for
- 18:45real honestly, man for real, but hey hey I do see one other raise
- 18:49one not making the making the playoffs.
- 18:52How'd it go for in the playoffs? I don't know if I would say this
- 18:55though, So let's see the so Dodge deal with Dodge deal with
- 18:59last night. Dodge got Blake snail back.
- 19:02Blake snail pitched exit went out the other night.
- 19:05But I would say this though, if I would say this if the Dodgers
- 19:08Dodgers pitching hills up all rolls to the all rolls to the we
- 19:12win the World Series. Go to the Dodgers, man for real.
- 19:16And it's even nationally once wants to make the playoff.
- 19:19What's win the what's excited about with the World Series?
- 19:21It's got to come to the yeah, yeah, go to the Dodgers or TYC
- 19:26International League that could possibly beat the Dodgers is
- 19:30Braves is Braves Milwaukee, Chicago or the Cubs.
- 19:35The Cubs doing good. I'll say the Cubs are doing
- 19:37good. Yes, they are, but I'll see
- 19:40about to see if they could be done this.
- 19:41Maybe the Braves, maybe the Braves and maybe Milwaukee.
- 19:46Honestly, man, for real, Maybe the Braves member walking big
- 19:49baby. That's a big maybe for real.
- 19:51But hey, but hey, but hey, I I the American League, American
- 19:56League. I'll be honest with you.
- 19:59I would not be surprised if the October be raised or makes the
- 20:02World Series and if not, the Yankees.
- 20:06I really don't see the Yankees making it makes the world see
- 20:10this year. I really don't Playoffs, yes,
- 20:12World Series I I had my doubts, honestly.
- 20:16Yes, your pitching is doing good.
- 20:17Your pitch is doing good, but your hitting is poor.
- 20:20The hitting is poor, man, for real.
- 20:25And yeah, and the Yankees need Aaron Judge back, even though
- 20:28last you know, yesterday's game was awesome.
- 20:31They go awesome. The hitting was there, but the
- 20:33Yankees need Aaron Judge back. Let's be real here.
- 20:36You got to do honestly, you do for real.
- 20:38Hey, there is some baseball games today.
