- 1:54I mean,
- 1:54shout out to y'all coming through
- 1:55the playback last night.
- 1:56I mean, y'all was excited.

- 1:59it was already twenty five
- 2:00y'all in there ready.
- 2:02Yeah,
- 2:04there's already twenty-five in there
- 2:05already.
- 2:05And then it got like eighty
- 2:06people in there consistently.
- 2:08Towards the end,
- 2:09it was still fifty people in there,
- 2:10but it was,
- 2:11and y'all was in the chat talking.
- 2:12Ain't like y'all was in
- 2:13there not doing nothing.
- 2:14Y'all was in there live,
- 2:15so I appreciate that with y'all.
- 2:18Also, man, listen, man.
- 2:21Listen, y'all got to start giving me,
- 2:23Wiley, and Nick some love.
- 2:24The way y'all get low love and Raina.
- 2:26She ain't even on the
- 2:26damn... He not even on the plane.
- 2:29A lot of them don't even
- 2:29know what Raina look like.
- 2:32Raina only appear on the
- 2:33camera like twice.
- 2:34Twice.
- 2:36Raina say something in the background.
- 2:38She get more hype than I do
- 2:39than Wiley and Nick.
- 2:41Like, come on, man.
- 2:42That's the life of being a man.
- 2:43I don't know.
- 2:44Well, man,
- 2:44I appreciate y'all showing them
- 2:45love like that, man.
- 2:46I appreciate that, though.
- 2:48And another thing,
- 2:49I got some off my chest real quick.
- 2:51It's starting to get nice outside.
- 2:53I'm a dog person.
- 2:55I love dogs.
- 2:56I've had a dog in my life up
- 2:57until last year.
- 2:58We've had a dog, right?
- 3:00But y'all better start
- 3:02leaving Fido ass at home
- 3:04and stop bringing him to
- 3:05the grocery store.
- 3:07I'm tired of seeing dogs
- 3:09inside and grocery stores
- 3:11and shit in these strollers.
- 3:13Why y'all got a stroller for
- 3:14the dog anyway?
- 3:17He or she got four legs.
- 3:21What is going on?
- 3:21Leave these dogs at home.
- 3:24I don't want to be having to
- 3:25pick for my groceries and y'all dog.
- 3:28Nick,
- 3:28do you see that down there in Florida?
- 3:29No, it's all the time.
- 3:33I was about to say, man.
- 3:34I know you see it.
- 3:35It's getting out of control.
- 3:36I love animals.
- 3:38I am pro-animal to a point.
- 3:41Leave their ass at home.
- 3:41They ain't got to go to the
- 3:42grocery store with you, man.
- 3:45That's their emotional support dog.
- 3:47They will.
- 3:47You can't do nothing about it.
- 3:49Nope.
- 3:51Nothing.
- 3:51Nick and Lo, they know where I live,
- 3:53so the dog community is just insane.
- 3:57The shit I be seeing outside
- 3:58of how they be with these strollers.
- 4:00You taking a walk and you
- 4:01got a dog in a stroller.
- 4:03I prefer that than people
- 4:04walking a cat on a leash.
- 4:07That's even worse.
- 4:08I hate cats, man.
- 4:10That's even worse.
- 4:11Hold up, dog.
- 4:11You said a cat on a leash?
- 4:13Yes, a cat on a leash.
- 4:14Yes.
- 4:16That shit look crazy, bro.
- 4:18Let that cat go.
- 4:20I saw a cat with a harness on.
- 4:21I didn't even know they made
- 4:22those for cats.
- 4:23Man, let that cat be free.
- 4:26Let that cat be free.
- 4:27I'm going to leave something.
- 4:31Just another thing, too.
- 4:32If you take your dog outside
- 4:34and they take a dump, pick it up, bro.
- 4:37I'm tired of that, bro.
- 4:39Man, clean that shit up, man.
- 4:41I'm tired of having to step over shit.
- 4:42Like, bro, please.
- 4:45Man, yes.
- 4:46If your dog is shitting,
- 4:46you better bring that bag.
- 4:48Listen, get you a jewel bag, whatever bag,
- 4:50your grocery store bag.
- 4:51They actually make those bags.
- 4:53Yep.
- 4:54They don't even cost that much.
- 4:57It's like ten dollars for
- 4:58ten of the rolls.
- 4:59It ain't that much.
- 5:00Right.
- 5:00When you go get your dog food,
- 5:02get you some shit bags and pick it up.
- 5:06It's not even that hard.
- 5:09I just don't understand.
- 5:10Like I said, I love animals.
- 5:11I don't need nobody being mad.
- 5:13I love animals.
- 5:14I love dogs, but man...
- 5:15Come on, man.
- 5:17Just get real out here.

- 5:28Yeah, exactly.

- 6:25He's one foot in,
- 6:27one foot out in life for real.
- 6:29I'm not going to lie.
- 6:30Once he's out of here,
- 6:32I'm not getting another dog.
- 6:40Literally,
- 6:40just to board him when I go out
- 6:42of town for WNBA stuff, automatically,
- 6:44four hundred dollars.
- 6:45Minimum,
- 6:46four hundred dollars when I go to
- 6:47board him.
- 6:49Lamar,
- 6:49they be treating their dogs like kids,
- 6:51man.
- 6:52One time,
- 6:52Raina went to California to visit
- 6:54her uncle when Ace was born,
- 6:57and he got a new dog.
- 6:58He kept on saying, he was like,
- 6:59I got a new dog.
- 7:00It's like, I'm a parent.
- 7:04You can let that damn dog go do whatever.
- 7:06I can't just let this child
- 7:07go do whatever.
- 7:08It's not the same.
- 7:11It's not at all.
- 7:12It's not the same.
- 7:13God, it's just funny.
- 7:14It's just funny.
- 7:14But let's get into this shit, man.
- 7:17We're going to start with the draft.
- 7:20Thoughts?
- 7:22I mean, we gave some as we went on.
- 7:24First of all, I'm sorry.
- 7:25It was just long as hell.
- 7:27It was long.
- 7:28First round was an hour.
- 7:30It was a lot of dragging, though, too.
- 7:32They did that little Diana
- 7:34Taurasi tribute right after
- 7:35the first pick.
- 7:37They did.
- 7:37They could have done that in
- 7:38between maybe the last pick
- 7:40of the first round,
- 7:41first pick of the second draft,
- 7:42in between some intermission type shit.
- 7:44But it was a lot of dragging
- 7:45with that stuff.
- 7:46They also talked about the fever, too.
- 7:47I don't know why.
- 7:48Even though the fever didn't
- 7:49even have the pick at the time.
- 7:51and then um holly was asking
- 7:53like five six questions to
- 7:55one player like yo like two
- 7:56questions let's move on
- 7:58like we we on time man like
- 8:00come on and then asking
- 8:02page all them questions
- 8:03like she was like we didn't
- 8:04just ask her all these
- 8:05questions before you know
- 8:06what I'm saying like it was
- 8:06just it was just a lot but
- 8:09overall nick who who was
- 8:11since you started talking
- 8:12um who was your winner and
- 8:14loser of the draft damn I
- 8:17didn't think about that um
- 8:19I don't know if I
- 8:20necessarily have a winner or a loser.
- 8:22Well, I take that back.
- 8:25If I had to say the winner,
- 8:27I'll probably say I'll
- 8:28probably go with Dallas.
- 8:30I mean, not even just a page pick,
- 8:31you know,
- 8:31but they also got one of my
- 8:33favorite scores in the country,
- 8:34Isaiah James.
- 8:35I think that's a big pickup.
- 8:36I think that she could be a
- 8:37huge piece if she does make
- 8:39the final roster, you know,
- 8:40be a good scoring punch in
- 8:42the second unit.
- 8:43So I'm not mad at that as well.
- 8:45Also, you know, the Connecticut Sun too.
- 8:46I'm actually a really big fan of that.
- 8:48Back-to-back picks, Anissa Morrow,
- 8:50Sanaya Rivers,
- 8:52both two great dynamic players.
- 8:53Anissa Morrow was arguably
- 8:57like the best player in the SEC, you know,
- 8:59so that definitely helped
- 9:00her draft stock a lot.
- 9:01And I think going to
- 9:02Connecticut is going to be
- 9:03really good for her,
- 9:03especially playing behind
- 9:04the likes of Tina Charles and others.
- 9:06So I know that Connecticut
- 9:08is in this rebuilding period,
- 9:09but I really like what
- 9:10their future is looking like, honestly.
- 9:12I mean,
- 9:13This could be a playoff team
- 9:14within the next maybe three
- 9:15to five years.
- 9:15Who knows?
- 9:17But overall, I like the draft.
- 9:18I actually have my own
- 9:19personal favorite picks.
- 9:20Hang on.
- 9:20Let me pull it up real quick.
- 9:22I talked about Connecticut.
- 9:24I was also a fan of Sarah
- 9:25Ashley Barker going to L.A.
- 9:26That was something that I
- 9:27did not see at all.
- 9:31I was thinking about that pick today.
- 9:32I was like, man,
- 9:33do they really need another wing?
- 9:35Honestly, like a wing score in a way,
- 9:37but also at the same time,
- 9:38I'm not mad at it.
- 9:39If she does make the final roster,
- 9:40I think that she could be another
- 9:42big punch off the bench, you know,
- 9:43especially playing behind
- 9:44the likes of Rakia,
- 9:45the likes of Ray Burrell
- 9:46and other players as well.
- 9:47So I was a big fan of that.
- 9:50Obviously got a red Florida State,
- 9:52KK Timpson.
- 9:54I really think playing in
- 9:55Indiana is going to work
- 9:56really well for us.
- 9:56The thing about KK,
- 9:59and I've been saying it for a while,
- 10:00KK is pro ready.
- 10:01Like I think many people may
- 10:03not understand that, but
- 10:06Honestly,
- 10:07I think she's going to adjust to
- 10:08the pro really, really well, honestly,
- 10:10obviously being a backup
- 10:11potentially behind Aaliyah Boston.
- 10:13But she's also proven that
- 10:14she can play in so many
- 10:16areas of the floor, honestly, on offense.
- 10:17And I think that one thing
- 10:18about her is that she's
- 10:19played with so many great
- 10:20passers in the past,
- 10:21whether it's Tenaya Lassen,
- 10:22whether it's Amari Gordon.
- 10:24So now you're playing with
- 10:25another dynamic passer like
- 10:26Kaitlyn Clark.
- 10:27That's going to also
- 10:28generate a lot of opportunities for her.
- 10:30She knows how to play and pick your role.
- 10:31She knows how to position
- 10:32herself underneath the basket.
- 10:33So that's something that also –
- 10:35that she could also bring to
- 10:36the table as well for Indiana.
- 10:38Not even just KK.
- 10:38Honestly, overall,
- 10:39Indiana had a really good
- 10:40draft all around, honestly.
- 10:41I saw some fans on the
- 10:43timeline complaining,
- 10:44but I thought they did
- 10:44pretty good in the draft.
- 10:46Zay Green's another one
- 10:47going to Washington.
- 10:48I was a really big fan of that.
- 10:49And if you know Zay Green's
- 10:51story as far as her dealing
- 10:53with multiple injuries,
- 10:55And then, of course, you know,
- 10:55this past year at Alabama
- 10:56really showing our really
- 10:57being able to increase our draft stock,
- 10:59especially playing in the SEC.
- 11:00I thought that was really good.
- 11:02So shout out to Zay Green.
- 11:03I mean,
- 11:03I hope that she's another piece
- 11:04that possibly makes this
- 11:05final roster spot.
- 11:06And then, of course,
- 11:07Harmony Turner as well.
- 11:08Like that's one that I'm
- 11:09hoping can play this year
- 11:10because I really do believe that Vegas,
- 11:13obviously we like we've had
- 11:15our concerns with Vegas's depth.
- 11:17But I do think that Harmony
- 11:18Turner could play a big
- 11:19impact on that team, honestly,
- 11:21especially with the way
- 11:21that she could shoot the basketball.
- 11:23And I think that she could
- 11:24generate a lot of
- 11:25opportunities in the second
- 11:26unit if you place her next
- 11:27to Dana Evans or Tiffany
- 11:29Mitchell or whoever,
- 11:30even if she's playing next to Asia Wilson,
- 11:32honestly.
- 11:32She's going to get a lot of
- 11:33opportunities to shoot the
- 11:35basketball if she does get
- 11:36that green light to score.
- 11:38But we obviously got to get
- 11:40to the real deal.
- 11:42Diamond Johnson being our draft.
- 11:43He's flowing.
- 11:45Go ahead, boy.
- 11:46Go ahead and do your thing.
- 11:47I'll be real.
- 11:48I was hot.
- 11:49I was hot pretty much all night.
- 11:52I could, like...
- 11:53It doesn't it doesn't make
- 11:54sense to me because like I
- 11:56projected a first round.
- 11:58And even if she didn't go first round,
- 11:59I was still thinking like, you know,
- 12:00there's no way that she
- 12:01can't that she that she
- 12:03does not get drafted.
- 12:04And to see how many picks is
- 12:06like thirty eight,
- 12:07thirty nine overall in a draft,
- 12:08something like that,
- 12:08to see all those picks happen.
- 12:10And you don't hear Diamond
- 12:12Johnson's name whatsoever.
- 12:13It's just flat out ridiculous to me.
- 12:15I mean,
- 12:15this is a player who was by far one
- 12:17of the best players in the MEAC,
- 12:18led Norfolk State to two
- 12:20tournament appearances.
- 12:21led them to two conference
- 12:22championships and somehow
- 12:24some way she doesn't get drafted.
- 12:25It's just insane to me.
- 12:26Like,
- 12:27and I'm not here trying to disrespect
- 12:28anybody else that got drafted.
- 12:29Cause I mean,
- 12:30this is a huge accomplishment
- 12:31for all these young women,
- 12:32but to not have diamond
- 12:33Johnson on that list,
- 12:34as far as being drafted,
- 12:35it's just absolutely insane to me.
- 12:37I think it's just an
- 12:37indication that people
- 12:39don't take HBCU basketball serious.
- 12:41And it's, and it's a damn shame, honestly,
- 12:42because especially when it's basketball,
- 12:44they've shown out,
- 12:44not even just Norfolk state.
- 12:45You saw Howard have a really good season.
- 12:47Then you go to the SWAC.
- 12:48You saw Southern make the NCAA tournament.
- 12:50You see teams like Alabama
- 12:52A&M and other teams as well.
- 12:53So HBCU basketball has
- 12:56always produced pretty good talent,
- 12:57especially over the past recent years.
- 12:59And Diamond Johnson is an
- 13:00indication of one of them.
- 13:01I know that Diamond Johnson
- 13:02didn't start out at HBCU,
- 13:03but for her to show out and
- 13:04pretty much help put HBCU
- 13:06basketball on the map, honestly,
- 13:07and then show out as one of
- 13:08the best point guards in the country,
- 13:10that should have easily
- 13:10gotten her drafted.
- 13:11But I hope, hopefully soon,
- 13:14Diamond can sign a training
- 13:15camp contract.
- 13:16That's what I'm hoping for.
- 13:17But
- 13:18To not have her name called
- 13:19was just insane to me.
- 13:20But overall, good draft.
- 13:22I know that it's not as
- 13:23strong as recent or like last year per se,
- 13:26but I really want to see
- 13:26how a lot of this talent
- 13:27translate to the W. What you got, Lo?
- 13:32Nothing.
- 13:33Nick said it all.
- 13:34I mean...
- 13:39Nick said it all.
- 13:40I think that... I mean, I agree.
- 13:43The two people or the two
- 13:44teams that I had that, in my opinion,
- 13:46I had one of the better
- 13:48drafts were Dallas.
- 13:50And just because they just
- 13:51added more athletic wings
- 13:52to their arsenal of wings already,
- 13:54it's going to be a very
- 13:55hard training camp over there.
- 13:56Like...
- 13:57Some players are going to get cut.
- 13:59Hopefully they get picked up elsewhere,
- 14:01but it's going to be a very
- 14:02tough spot for guards to be
- 14:04in because they have so
- 14:06many athletic guards over there.
- 14:08I thought that they would go
- 14:09for another big because we
- 14:11know how sometimes Big T
- 14:12isn't always engaged in the game,
- 14:16but they chose not to.
- 14:17I guess they're putting all
- 14:18their eggs in MHA over there.
- 14:23So, yeah, that's interesting.
- 14:25And I also think,
- 14:25even though the Mystics are tanking,
- 14:27I think they had a solid draft as well.
- 14:29Kiki, Sonya, they have Georgia...
- 14:37They have Zay Green, who, again,
- 14:41I've been very vocal about,
- 14:42especially when I saw her play in person.
- 14:44Like, I think that's what really got me.
- 14:47Like, she's super athletic.
- 14:49And I told this story before,
- 14:50but I'll tell it really quickly.
- 14:51When I was covering the UMD versus Alabama,
- 14:55the first round game, I was, you know,
- 14:58we were actually seated at, like,
- 15:00where the score table was.
- 15:02And look at Big Baby talking
- 15:03about the Lakers.
- 15:03I'm crying.
- 15:06But yeah,
- 15:06we were seated by the score table.
- 15:08And so it was the dead ball.
- 15:10They were taking the ball out.
- 15:11So I leaned over to D.A.
- 15:13and I was like, bro, she can fucking hoop.
- 15:16And I thought I whispered it
- 15:17because they were right there.
- 15:18But I thought I whispered.
- 15:19She looked back and she
- 15:20smiled and she was like, I was like,
- 15:23I'm telling the truth.
- 15:24Like, you know, there you go.
- 15:25And so, anyway, I'm a fan.
- 15:27I hope she's able to make the roster.
- 15:29But, again, they're tanking.
- 15:31Why not hoard young talent
- 15:34just in case you got to move them?
- 15:36They still have a lot of
- 15:37draft picks coming up in
- 15:38the next few years.
- 15:39So, I'm not mad where they are.
- 15:41The Georgia Amor pick kind
- 15:43of threw me off.
- 15:44But then when I took a step
- 15:45back and looked at it,
- 15:47they needed a point guard
- 15:48because Van Loo is gone.
- 15:50So, it's like...
- 15:52Who are you taking?
- 15:52They're not taking Diamond
- 15:53Johnson that high, unfortunately.
- 15:55So it's like, who are you taking?
- 15:57So it's not that many options.
- 15:59It was Haley, Georgia...
- 16:03I mean, as a just pure point guard,
- 16:05it's not that many options.
- 16:06So I get it.
- 16:07I just didn't anticipate her
- 16:08going that high.
- 16:10I'm trying to think what else.
- 16:12I think the biggest shocker
- 16:13for me and my timeline has
- 16:14been going crazy.
- 16:15My mentions have been going crazy.
- 16:17It's just the whole Diamond Miller.
- 16:20I mean, yeah, I mean,
- 16:20the whole Diamond Johnson thing.
- 16:23I said it in a TikTok before
- 16:24the draft even started.
- 16:26I literally said that they
- 16:27were going to play with her.
- 16:28and I said that because I
- 16:30just felt it and it's not
- 16:32it's more than her just
- 16:33being five five so I'm sick
- 16:34of everybody saying that
- 16:35that's not so much like
- 16:39that hannah hannah is five
- 16:40six she gonna probably be a
- 16:42top three pick when she
- 16:43come out ivory ladder was
- 16:44five five to me like
- 16:50georgia amore is five six right
- 16:53There's no difference.
- 16:54Haley Van Lisk is five six.
- 16:56She ain't nobody.
- 16:57She said what?
- 17:03She's not.
- 17:04She's not.
- 17:06So my point is in this draft specifically,
- 17:09it's just a slap in the
- 17:10face for women that wants to go back.
- 17:13It's not even women,
- 17:15black women that wants to
- 17:16go back and represent at an HBCU.
- 17:19So they're basically telling them,
- 17:20I don't care how good you are.
- 17:21If you go to a black school,
- 17:24and you're below average in height, like,
- 17:27you're not getting drafted.
- 17:28And I think it's just bullshit,
- 17:29to be honest.
- 17:30She is not only one of the
- 17:32best guards in the country,
- 17:33but she was one of the best
- 17:34guards in the draft.
- 17:36She was better than
- 17:37seventy-five percent of the
- 17:37guards that got drafted.
- 17:38I'm gonna just keep it a hundred.
- 17:40Like,
- 17:40she was better than seventy-five
- 17:41percent of the guards that got drafted.
- 17:43So...
- 17:44It's politics.
- 17:45I hate it.
- 17:46But you're talking about
- 17:47someone that came in as a
- 17:48high school player.
- 17:49She was ranked number six in
- 17:51her drive class.
- 17:53So you go from being ranked
- 17:54number six at Rutgers.
- 17:56You literally score
- 17:57seventeen point six points per game,
- 17:58four boards, two assists and two steals.
- 18:01You then transfer to NC
- 18:02State where you want ACC
- 18:03six player of the year.
- 18:05you rank second in scoring
- 18:06and assists on the team you
- 18:08also are in the mid-season
- 18:10watch list for national
- 18:12player of the year off the
- 18:13bench and then the Don
- 18:15Staley award um then you
- 18:17train so you play there two
- 18:18years you transfer to
- 18:19Norfolk you go um all all
- 18:22all MEAC first team all
- 18:24MEAC defensive team
- 18:25selection you then you then
- 18:27win the most outstanding
- 18:28player in the MEAC you
- 18:30then go on to win
- 18:31back-to-back MEAC champions,
- 18:33you win MEAC Player of the Year.
- 18:35And you're telling me that's
- 18:36not a WNBA talent?
- 18:37You're cooking.
- 18:38That's not a WNBA talent?
- 18:40So who is a WNBA talent then?
- 18:41Like, it doesn't make sense to me.
- 18:43So people can say, oh,
- 18:45she needs to lose weight.
- 18:46And...
- 18:47That's another thing.
- 18:48Stop that shit.
- 18:49Like,
- 18:49this ain't the time to body shame
- 18:50because she didn't get drafted.
- 18:52Like, I keep saying, oh,
- 18:53she needs to lose weight.
- 18:54Did she need to lose weight
- 18:55when she was dropping?
- 18:56Did she need to lose weight
- 18:57when she was dropping?
- 18:58Did she need to lose weight
- 18:59when she was dropping?
- 19:06No.
- 19:07But now all of a sudden, oh, oh,
- 19:08she five five and she need
- 19:09to lose weight.
- 19:10Like cut it out.
- 19:11Like let's call a spade a spade.
- 19:13When black women are short,
- 19:15they don't get the same
- 19:16luxury as white women when
- 19:17they get to go to the WNBA.
- 19:19Again, Haley Van Lift, five, six, five,
- 19:22seven on her best day.
- 19:24Georgia Amor, five, six.
- 19:26So you mean one inch more?
- 19:28One inch more is really the
- 19:29determinant factor whether
- 19:30somebody goes to the WNBA or not.
- 19:33stop it like it just it just
- 19:35it logically it just
- 19:36doesn't make sense and all
- 19:37these bullshit excuses like
- 19:39under my timeline and my
- 19:40mentions like y'all can say
- 19:42because guess what baby she
- 19:43needs to be drafted and my
- 19:44opinion my my opinion is
- 19:46not going to change in my
- 19:48opinion she is better than
- 19:49hayley offensively and she
- 19:50is better than georgia
- 19:51offensively period I don't
- 19:58have anything i
- 20:00There you have it.
- 20:01I knew Love was going to get going.
- 20:02I felt it.
- 20:04I knew she was going to get going.
- 20:05I felt it.
- 20:06Your mentions have been going crazy.
- 20:08I do everything y'all saying.
- 20:10I've been going back and
- 20:11looking at the tweets, bro.
- 20:11They stupid as shit.
- 20:12They so damn dumb up in there.
- 20:13I didn't even see them
- 20:14because I didn't even see
- 20:15them until you sent it
- 20:19because I muted that shit.
- 20:20It was like my phone.
- 20:23Yeah, I mute so fast.
- 20:24I just block.
- 20:26I don't even mute no more.
- 20:27I just block now.
- 20:29Martin Lowe, get the fuck out of here.
- 20:33You're so funny as hell.
- 20:35But, yeah, man, that shit,
- 20:37I don't like how they
- 20:38playing with her like that, man,
- 20:39like the height stuff.
- 20:41And like you said,
- 20:41you knew they was going to
- 20:42play with her before the draft.
- 20:43I literally called it.
- 20:44I called it.
- 20:46I wanted to be wrong.
- 20:47And this is the thing about
- 20:49Aubrey Griffin.
- 20:51It's no disrespect to her.
- 20:52Like,
- 20:52I'm not trying to be disrespectful
- 20:54when I say that.
- 20:55But, like, wasn't she the last draft pick?
- 20:58She was the last one, right?
- 20:59Yes.
- 21:00No, no, no.
- 21:00Second to last.
- 21:01Second to last.
- 21:01Second to last.
- 21:02Second to last.
- 21:03Last one.
- 21:03So that's why I chose her name.
- 21:05Because...
- 21:06It's like, I'm so sorry.
- 21:08Aubrey averaged two points a game.
- 21:11Like, I'm glad your dreams came true,
- 21:13sister, but guess what?
- 21:14You're not better than Diamond,
- 21:15and that's fine.
- 21:16That's fine.
- 21:17It's okay.
- 21:18That's the problem.
- 21:19All these kids think you can
- 21:19get a participation trophy.
- 21:21Hell no.
- 21:22You know,
- 21:23and I'm glad you brought that up.
- 21:24Like, the whole Aubrey was shocked.
- 21:28Her name was Kaylin, right?
- 21:29Chin?
- 21:29She was shocked.
- 21:32People were saying to me, and I know this.
- 21:35I know how the Bay Area get.
- 21:38They have a huge Asian community.
- 21:41Man, fuck all that.
- 21:43She should not have been called.
- 21:46I get it.
- 21:46I know y'all want to sell jerseys.
- 21:48Y'all trying to sell tickets
- 21:50and shit like that because
- 21:51who's out there?
- 21:52But come on, let's be real, man.
- 21:55Everybody, when they called her name,
- 21:56she was shocked.
- 21:57Her teammates were shocked.
- 21:59Did anybody know that she
- 22:00was going to get – come on.
- 22:01No draft board.
- 22:03No draft board had her going, period.
- 22:05Period.
- 22:05I didn't see Aubrey going in no direction.
- 22:09And I'm not even trying to
- 22:10be disrespectful when I say this.
- 22:11I don't even remember Aubrey in the games,
- 22:13to be honest.
- 22:13Like, I really don't.
- 22:14I don't.
- 22:15Like,
- 22:16so you mean to tell me someone that
- 22:18literally won the Player of
- 22:20the Year in the MEAC, whose team also,
- 22:23you know, held tough with a lot of P-IV,
- 22:26P-V schools, like,
- 22:28she doesn't deserve a look?
- 22:29Like, that's crazy to me.
- 22:31That's just crazy to me.
- 22:37And that's what I got.
- 22:38They say you're right.
- 22:38The WNBA about to turn into
- 22:39a league of vibes and not talent.
- 22:42And, you know,
- 22:43that's a good segue because...
- 22:46That's how I feel about
- 22:48Haley going to Chicago.
- 22:50That's exactly how I feel
- 22:53with picks like that.
- 22:55And this is no disrespect to her.
- 22:58She's a good player.
- 22:59I just don't like that fit there.
- 23:01That's basically what that is,
- 23:02especially after what they
- 23:04said they wanted.
- 23:05She's not even six feet tall.
- 23:08You know what I'm saying?
- 23:09And I think Lowe said it in the playback.
- 23:13We're going to see what's
- 23:14going to happen to her,
- 23:15what we saw happen to her against Texas.
- 23:19Basically,
- 23:19that's what's going to happen
- 23:21with her this season.
- 23:22She can't guard anybody.
- 23:25You're going to have to.
- 23:28She's definitely going to get barbecued,
- 23:29man, but I know, like,
- 23:33I made a video about,
- 23:34I did my recap about this guy, but
- 23:38It's Haley.
- 23:39So I know a lot of people will like her.
- 23:40It's her name.
- 23:41She got a redemption story, pretty much.
- 23:43You know what I'm saying?
- 23:44But it's her and Angel together.
- 23:48And who else is going there?
- 23:49Matt.
- 23:50And there's nothing.
- 23:51Like, they just passing on players.
- 23:53They pretty much going to
- 23:54have two drafting stashes because.
- 23:59And Kulibaly.
- 24:00Kulibaly got an ACL tear.
- 24:01She's not playing.
- 24:03Jeff talking about she going
- 24:04to look nice in two or three years.
- 24:05Talking about old girl from Slovenia.
- 24:09So it's like.
- 24:10So Haley going to make the team.
- 24:12Basically, because he was like,
- 24:14last night in his presser, he was like,
- 24:15man,
- 24:16we were surprised that Haley failed
- 24:17to us.
- 24:18Why?
- 24:20That's not even y'all playing.
- 24:21That's not even what y'all needed.
- 24:22Why were you surprised?
- 24:25I mean, to be fair,
- 24:26a lot of people did project
- 24:27her to go higher.
- 24:28Like, I was projecting her to go to L.A.
- 24:30Like,
- 24:31so for them to pick Sarah Ashley Bark
- 24:32over here, over her,
- 24:33actually surprised me.
- 24:35I thought she was going
- 24:36middle second round.
- 24:37I'm not going to hold you.
- 24:39Like,
- 24:41was I watching the same thing
- 24:42everyone else was watching?
- 24:45And this is the thing.
- 24:46I think Haley is a decent
- 24:48offensive player.
- 24:49Like that's the thing.
- 24:49I'm not like,
- 24:50this is not a hate Haley train.
- 24:52Like I want her to do well.
- 24:55Like I want,
- 24:56I want these women to succeed.
- 24:57Like they've been working
- 24:58towards this goal their entire lives.
- 24:59So that's not what I'm saying.
- 25:01I'm just shocked because
- 25:04when she played in the sec
- 25:06and she was playing athletic guards,
- 25:09she was getting eaten up alive.
- 25:11And so the WNBA is the best
- 25:13players in the world.
- 25:14And she's already undersized.
- 25:16So when you add the fact
- 25:21that you're already
- 25:22undersized and you don't do
- 25:25good against athletic guards,
- 25:27and then you're going to
- 25:28get targeted on defense,
- 25:30it just didn't make sense to me.
- 25:31Now, will I say Haley Van Lift?
- 25:33She seems like she's a hard worker.
- 25:35So I think that she will be in the gym.
- 25:37And I think that she will get better,
- 25:39but she's not going to grow
- 25:41inches over the summertime.
- 25:42You know what I'm saying?
- 25:44Like, this is it.
- 25:45Like,
- 25:45imagine when Chelsea Gray is bodying
- 25:47her ass down in the post.
- 25:49It's over.
- 25:50It's over.
- 25:51Every time.
- 25:53Put Chelsea in the post.
- 25:55And guess what?
- 25:56If you send a double,
- 25:57Chelsea can pass out the double.
- 25:59You know what I'm saying?
- 25:59Like, that's just one example.
- 26:02Right?
- 26:02Like, that's just one example.
- 26:03So that's my concern.
- 26:04My concern is just her on
- 26:06the defensive end and just
- 26:08how she'll be able to
- 26:10control the offense when she has,
- 26:12you know,
- 26:12athletic defenders guarding her.
- 26:13I mean, we already saw.
- 26:18We already saw what happened
- 26:19last year with the Elite Eight.
- 26:20And I know Haley was sick in that game,
- 26:22but let's be real.
- 26:23She couldn't fucking hold Kaitlyn.
- 26:25I mean,
- 26:26I will say her defense was a little
- 26:27better this year.
- 26:28But again,
- 26:28the sample size is small because
- 26:30she played
- 26:31She played in a, you know,
- 26:34a mid conference, respectfully.
- 26:37You calling the Big Twelve a mid-major now,
- 26:39huh?
- 26:40It's not mid-major,
- 26:41but it ain't one of the top
- 26:41ones in my opinion.
- 26:42No.
- 26:42I've been saying that all year.
- 26:43I've been very consistent.
- 26:46No, you have.
- 26:47And this ain't no Haley train.
- 26:50Like, she on my squad now.
- 26:51And another thing,
- 26:53it's only two spots
- 26:54available for this squad.
- 26:55So, it was like,
- 26:56he going to make it regardless.
- 26:58I mean, I hope she does.
- 27:01And she will, but it's just,
- 27:02I just didn't like the fit.
- 27:04I just didn't like the fit at all.
- 27:06So, we're going to see.
- 27:07I know a lot of people love
- 27:08it because of her name.
- 27:10We're going to see, though.
- 27:10And they like that she's back with Angels,
- 27:12so it's like a storybook, you know.
- 27:14Yeah.
- 27:14I love a storybook.
- 27:16Yeah.
- 27:19I don't like when the front
- 27:19office for any team come out and say,
- 27:22this is what we need,
- 27:22this is what we're looking for,
- 27:23and you do the complete opposite.
- 27:26Because for what you said
- 27:27you want and need,
- 27:29Serena was right there.
- 27:31Serena Sunday.
- 27:31And then she was there again.
- 27:32She fell low, man.
- 27:34And then she was there again.
- 27:36Especially with how well she
- 27:37played towards the end of
- 27:38the season in conference
- 27:40play and in the tournament,
- 27:41helping them get to the Sweet Sixteen.
- 27:43Crazy.
- 27:44Yeah, she fell low.
- 27:45I think Cheyenne fell a
- 27:45little lower than I thought too.
- 27:49Where'd she go to?
- 27:49Oh, the Valkyries, right?
- 27:51She went into the middle of
- 27:52the second round, correct?
- 27:53Yeah, the middle of the second round.
- 27:55I figured she would drop,
- 27:56but I didn't think she was
- 27:57going to fall to the Valkyries.
- 27:58I know about the knee stuff, but man,
- 28:00I don't like it.
- 28:02HVL doesn't fit.
- 28:02Yeah, that's the thing.
- 28:03I mean,
- 28:04a lot of people like it because of
- 28:05the... People just see the
- 28:07crazy redemption from...
- 28:09Yeah, and it's her name.
- 28:11That's basically what it is.
- 28:12And that's what tournaments do.
- 28:14Tournaments do that.
- 28:15Tournaments will – Why do
- 28:17you think Sarah Ashley
- 28:18Barker went so high?
- 28:19That tournament.
- 28:20Y'all can't – because she
- 28:21wasn't even the best player on her team,
- 28:22respectfully.
- 28:23She wasn't.
- 28:25I had her go in the second round.
- 28:26So for her to go that high,
- 28:28like that tournament really
- 28:29turned her up for sure.
- 28:32And they lost that game.
- 28:33Right.
- 28:35It's not like they even made
- 28:36it to like the Elite Eight.
- 28:37They lost that game.
- 28:38They did.
- 28:41People see tweets, they don't.
- 28:42And that's a fact.
- 28:44And that's the kind of like,
- 28:44last year with the whole Scott situation,
- 28:49with Camilla and everything like that,
- 28:52she had a good tournament.
- 28:54You know what I'm saying?
- 28:56He ain't never let that go.
- 28:57I ain't never let that go.
- 29:00And they was mad as fuck at
- 29:01me for my tweet, man.
- 29:03Fuck, man.
- 29:04I'm going to stand on that.
- 29:05I would still rather want Rekia Jackson.
- 29:08Are you drunk?
- 29:10Like, who wouldn't?
- 29:10Like, what is y'all talking about, dog?
- 29:13I could go either way.
- 29:14I get it.
- 29:14Like, I get it.
- 29:14I get it.
- 29:18No, I get it.
- 29:19No, I get it.
- 29:20I get it, but it's like, come on, man.
- 29:21Y'all crazy.
- 29:22Like... Like, yeah.
- 29:27No, you can't pass that up.
- 29:28No, you can't pass that up.
- 29:29And the thing is,
- 29:29I think Camila got a little bit better.
- 29:31Again,
- 29:31I don't really... She don't have a
- 29:34monster year.
- 29:34I don't trust China.
- 29:35Yeah, I don't trust China,
- 29:38but she definitely got better, though.
- 29:40And like I said, and Tyler retrusts.
- 29:43I trust him.
- 29:44You know what I'm saying?
- 29:45I definitely trust him, but...
- 29:46That's just – I don't got –
- 29:49Plus Miller was injured last year.
- 29:53Last year with this guy, yeah.
- 29:54Oh, yeah, she was.
- 29:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 29:57But I just – like,
- 29:58I wasn't – it's just that I wanted her.
- 30:00And it's nothing against her,
- 30:03and it's nothing against Haley.
- 30:04You know what I'm saying?
- 30:05Like,
- 30:06it's nothing against – they're good
- 30:07players.
- 30:08It's just –
- 30:10the direction of what the teams are going.
- 30:12But outside of that, man,
- 30:13it's – I think Camilla –
- 30:15I'm going to say this.
- 30:16I think with them building around Camilla,
- 30:19I think that she's going to
- 30:21take them further than if
- 30:22it was Rekia in her position.
- 30:25I feel you.
- 30:25I agree on that.
- 30:27Like,
- 30:27I don't think Rekia and Angel would
- 30:29be taking them as far as I
- 30:31think that Angel and
- 30:32Camilla can take them.
- 30:36I can go with you on that.
- 30:38When Angel starts
- 30:39consistently making layups
- 30:41and her putbacks, and Camilla,
- 30:43she's gotten better as well.
- 30:45That's going to be one of
- 30:46the best front courts in the WNBA.
- 30:47I do like what they've added.
- 30:51I mean,
- 30:52they said they wanted to build
- 30:53around Angel and Camilla.
- 30:54And that's a good starting place to build,
- 30:57for sure.
- 30:58No, yeah, I like what they're doing.
- 31:00Once again,
- 31:01I just don't like what this guy's doing.
- 31:03I get it.
- 31:04She's a bucket, so I get it.
- 31:05Man.
- 31:07And it's like,
- 31:08you know what made it even worse?
- 31:09What made it worse is that
- 31:12they didn't pick her,
- 31:13and then they complained
- 31:15about not having that in
- 31:18the fall last season.
- 31:19It's like,
- 31:21It was right there for y'all.
- 31:22You know what I'm saying?
- 31:23But nothing against her,
- 31:25South Carolina fans.
- 31:26Nothing against her.
- 31:28Because I know y'all was mad
- 31:29as hell about that shit.
- 31:30But one more thing.
- 31:33Seattle, man, they get Dominique.
- 31:37We knew it was going to get.
- 31:37But then to get Serena in the third round,
- 31:40it was just ridiculous.
- 31:42You know, just in case.
- 31:44Yeah, just in case y'all know.
- 31:46But her against Serena,
- 31:48y'all think she's going to make the team?
- 31:49Serena make it to the third
- 31:50round like that?
- 31:52She should.
- 31:56I think she should.
- 31:57I think she should.
- 31:58I like that for sure.
- 32:00I do like that for sure.
- 32:01And if y'all haven't watched
- 32:04highlights on Dominique, man,
- 32:06He's an easy dunker, man.
- 32:08You're probably going to see
- 32:08breakaway dunks and shit.
- 32:09She definitely might dunk on
- 32:13somebody this year.
- 32:14Yeah, it's dunking got better.
- 32:16They dunking got better for sure.
- 32:18Like, her dunking definitely got better.
- 32:20But she can finish.
- 32:21Man, she's really good.
- 32:22She's just not a dunker, man.
- 32:23She can guard on the perimeter.
- 32:25She can do it.
- 32:25She got great hands.
- 32:26It's a lot.
- 32:27So, Seattle one, Serena.
- 32:29How do you say her last name?
- 32:31Dominique?
- 32:32I guess Milanga.
- 32:36I guess not.
- 32:38Oh, yeah, they do,
- 32:39but they do got a lot of
- 32:40guards over there,
- 32:40so I don't know what they're going to do.
- 32:41I mean, Seattle in a good spot, honestly.
- 32:44They're in a great spot.
- 32:45Who do they got?
- 32:50Zia, Sky, Lexi.
- 32:52Like, you know,
- 32:52we don't know what's going
- 32:54to go on with Lexi all year.
- 32:55You know what I'm saying?
- 32:56Unfortunately, but...
- 32:58Please don't.
- 32:59Y'all gonna start crying
- 33:00like a motherfucker.
- 33:00Y'all gonna start crying
- 33:01like a motherfucker.
- 33:02Y'all gonna start crying
- 33:03like a motherfucker.
- 33:08Here you go, podcast girl.
- 33:08Podcast girl.
- 33:09Hey, speaking about Jaco, hey,
- 33:10I think about her at least
- 33:12once a month falling during the,
- 33:14was that during the finals?
- 33:15Yo, I think about that shit once a month.
- 33:24Yo, I think about that shit once a month,
- 33:25bro.
- 33:26Oh, my God.
- 33:27That shit was so funny.
- 33:27Oh, my God.
- 33:27That shit was so funny.
- 33:29Anything, anything,
- 33:32you have any losers for this draft, Lou?
- 33:36Anybody you like this is dead bad?
- 33:37I don't think so.
- 33:43I think everybody,
- 33:44I'm trying to think of the teams.
- 33:45I'm trying to see who had a, I don't think,
- 33:48I don't think last night I was like, man,
- 33:50I don't know what the hell y'all doing.
- 33:51Right.
- 33:54Who is yours Nick?
- 33:55Everyone because nobody
- 33:56picked Diamond Johnson.
- 34:00You said the link.
- 34:01Somebody said the link in the chat.
- 34:02Who did they pick?
- 34:05The Lynx?
- 34:06Hold on.
- 34:08Let me look.
- 34:09Phoenix didn't have no picks.
- 34:10I didn't even peep that.
- 34:12That's what I said.
- 34:13I think that's going to hurt
- 34:14them because I think they
- 34:14need a guard in the worst way.
- 34:19Who did Minnesota get?
- 34:21Delilah Daniels from
- 34:22Washington and Anastasia from Russia.
- 34:26They got Aubrey Griffin.
- 34:29Oh yeah, Aubrey Griffin.
- 34:31Minnesota lost the draft.
- 34:38yeah definitely lost the
- 34:39draft y'all and it's not
- 34:41I'm not saying that because
- 34:41of aubrey I just don't I I
- 34:43don't know what they did I
- 34:44mean and they lost um hines
- 34:47allen like off the bench so
- 34:49it's like who are they
- 34:50replacing her with like is
- 34:53diamond uh miller getting
- 34:55minutes now this year like
- 34:56what are we doing did they
- 34:57they didn't get better from
- 34:58last year did they who did
- 35:01they sign in free agency I can't remember
- 35:05Did they sign anybody?
- 35:07Yeah.
- 35:07I don't think they signed anybody,
- 35:08did they?
- 35:08I think they did, right?
- 35:12Didn't they sign the next
- 35:12one person that was okay?
- 35:13Cat, Wally, somebody, find them fools.
- 35:14I don't remember them signing.
- 35:15I don't recall them signing nobody.
- 35:19High Demand?
- 35:21They signed High Demand, right?
- 35:22Well, I thought she was already there.
- 35:26I mean, she was already there before.
- 35:29Grace Berger?
- 35:33Oh, yeah, they did get Grace Berger.
- 35:35Okay, so... No free agent signing?
- 35:37Yeah, they angrily signed about it.
- 35:41It ain't looking good for them.
- 35:42I'm not going to lie.
- 35:43They're going to be solid
- 35:43because they got feed, but... Oh,
- 35:46they did trade for Carly.
- 35:47Okay.
- 35:48That just happened.
- 35:50That just happened yesterday.
- 35:53That's right.
- 35:54They also traded a
- 35:55first-round pick for her in
- 35:57a good draft class.
- 36:01So that's interesting.
- 36:03That is interesting.
- 36:05Interesting.
- 36:06Also,
- 36:07I would love to see Matty Westville
- 36:09make the team.
- 36:10I don't know if it's going to happen,
- 36:11but I'd like to see it.
- 36:14We'll see.
- 36:15I like that.
- 36:16I saw that today.
- 36:22I did not see that today.
- 36:24That's about it.
- 36:26I don't think nobody really heard.
- 36:28It's definitely Minnesota.
- 36:29Yeah, I agree.
- 36:30Minnesota and Phoenix.
- 36:33Yeah, y'all lost.
- 36:34Y'all definitely lost, for sure.
- 36:37Yeah.
- 36:37I don't think it really hurts Phoenix.
- 36:38I mean, see me,
- 36:39I don't think it really
- 36:40hurts Minnesota compared to, like,
- 36:41other teams, though, like,
- 36:42if they didn't draft properly.
- 36:43I mean,
- 36:43Minnesota is in championship contention,
- 36:46so, you know,
- 36:47I don't think there's really
- 36:48the draft to really worry about.
- 36:49I mean,
- 36:49it would have been great if they
- 36:50got some picks, or some really good picks,
- 36:52but I'm not really too
- 36:53worried about them.
- 36:55I mean, but the thing is,
- 36:55they didn't really get better at all.
- 36:59They got a running back.
- 37:00They said, look, we came short last year.
- 37:03And the finals run back with
- 37:04the same team.
- 37:05So we'll see how it works.
- 37:06But a lot of the other teams got better.
- 37:08Like the Fever got better.
- 37:10The Wings got better.
- 37:12I guess they confident in their team.
- 37:14Fever going to be top three, boy.
- 37:16For sure.
- 37:17As long as they stay healthy,
- 37:20they going to be just fine.
- 37:22Frank that's twenty-two said
- 37:24next year's free agency is
- 37:25going to be the YY West.
- 37:26And that's for sure.
- 37:27Especially after they figure
- 37:29out what's going on with the CBA.
- 37:32No lockout.
- 37:33No lockout.
- 37:35Christopher, we got you.
- 37:36The fever is going to win this year.
- 37:38We can read it, brother.
- 37:40We can read it.
- 37:40We saw it.
- 37:41Don't buy these rookie jerseys.
- 37:44Nah, I don't do that shit.
- 37:47It got to take a minute for
- 37:49me to buy a jersey.
- 37:52He said, with what?
- 37:54Look,
- 37:55you got to let people believe what
- 37:56they want to believe.
- 37:56Oh, Lord.
- 37:58Yeah.
- 37:58Listen, the fever on paper,
- 38:00the fever look good.
- 38:02I don't want to put too much into it.
- 38:04But I got them finishing top four.
- 38:08I've been saying it.
- 38:08So I said they would win twenty last year.
- 38:11I said they're going to be
- 38:12twenty and twenty and people laughed.
- 38:14They did laugh at you.
- 38:16People were laughing me out, actually.
- 38:18But if they can stay healthy,
- 38:20if they can't stay healthy, then no, sir.
- 38:22But if they can stay healthy,
- 38:23I got to finish in top four.
- 38:24I want to say top three,
- 38:27but I want to be respectful,
- 38:28so I'm going to say top four.
- 38:31If we say top three,
- 38:33who are we disregarding?
- 38:34Ooh, we are disregarding somebody.
- 38:37Top four, top four.
- 38:38Yeah, you're right.
- 38:40We ain't going to want to do that.
- 38:42Anything else about this draft?
- 38:43Nah.
- 38:47So we will say that we
- 38:49already know that the
- 38:50Valkyries will be getting
- 38:51Lauren Betts next year.
- 38:52Yeah.
- 38:54I can see that.
- 38:55Yeah, they're not doing nothing.
- 38:58That's why I really want to dominate.
- 39:00Is she consistent in her
- 39:01overall pick going into next season?
- 39:03I would think so.
- 39:04Lauren Betts has got to be number one.
- 39:06She's got to be number one.
- 39:09She definitely should.
- 39:10Unless she dropping Vegas.
- 39:13Who top three?
- 39:14So you dropping Vegas?
- 39:15No, no, no.
- 39:16We ain't dropping nobody.
- 39:17Y'all talking about me?
- 39:20I think they're talking
- 39:21about the rankings.
- 39:22I think they're talking
- 39:22about when Lowe said they'd
- 39:23be top four or top five.
- 39:25Yeah, you got Vegas, Minnesota.
- 39:27I said I think they're top four.
- 39:30I want to say top three,
- 39:31but I don't want to be disrespectful.
- 39:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 39:34So Minnesota, Vegas, New York,
- 39:37and then the Beaver, right?
- 39:40That sounds...
- 39:43How it could play out.
- 39:45I mean,
- 39:46Dallas is going to be – I'm not
- 39:47saying Dallas, bro.
- 39:47Dallas could be top five, definitely.
- 39:49Yeah.
- 39:50On paper.
- 39:50You got to see how it look, but on paper.

- 43:08I don't think they're going
- 43:11to beat the Mystics.
- 43:13Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 43:14I don't know.
- 43:16Watch the fuck around.
- 43:18Watch the fuck around.
- 43:20Come on, man.
- 43:21That's a crazy ass start to the schedule.
- 43:23How many games do you think
- 43:25they're going to win this
- 43:26year if you just had to
- 43:26throw a number out there?
- 43:28How many games is it now?
- 43:29Forty-four, right?
- 43:31Six games.
- 43:33Valkyries in five.
- 43:36Damn.
- 43:36I bet they're going to get six wins.
- 43:39But twenty-six.
- 43:40Six and ten.
- 43:41Something like that.
- 43:45Three.
- 43:45Damn, kid.
- 43:52I was definitely talking
- 43:52about them last night.
- 43:55K-Dot.
- 43:55But them international girls are good.
- 43:59I watched them take.
- 44:00I wasn't familiar with their game,
- 44:01but I went back and watched them take.
- 44:03Yeah, they are good.
- 44:04They definitely are.
- 44:05They are a sight to see.
- 44:07Statistically,
- 44:07there's no way they lose them all, right?
- 44:10They can't lose them all, y'all.
- 44:11No, you got to come on.
- 44:12I would say between seven and ten.
- 44:20This is going to be fun to watch.
- 44:21This is going to be fun to
- 44:22track this shit.
- 44:23This is going to be fun for sure.
- 44:24All right, let's go to,
- 44:27let's finish off with this portal shit.
- 44:29Well, we got, yeah,
- 44:30a little bit more stuff,
- 44:30but we got portal.
- 44:32Ain't too much, that much news.
- 44:35Malaysia,
- 44:36if you've been looking under the rock,
- 44:37she's in the transfer portal.
- 44:39It's been a lot of damn
- 44:40think pieces of why she's there,
- 44:41why she shit, you know, so,
- 44:43but I'm going to start with Julo.
- 44:47yeah I mean I think
- 44:49initially it was shocking
- 44:50news but was it really
- 44:51because people have been
- 44:52calling for you know lay to
- 44:56transfer for the last two years um
- 45:00as I always say I think that
- 45:04I'm in support always of
- 45:05what these women want to do
- 45:06with their life because at
- 45:06the end of the day is their
- 45:08life so she thinks leaving
- 45:09south carolina is the best
- 45:10decision for her and her
- 45:11family sister fully
- 45:13supportive do you happy for
- 45:16you but my thing is I think
- 45:18that the outside noise got
- 45:19to her because it's no way
- 45:23that you are coming off the bench
- 45:25So coming off the bench got
- 45:27you to a national
- 45:27championship game twice in
- 45:29the two years that you've
- 45:29been in college.
- 45:30Coming off the bench helped
- 45:31you get signed to Under
- 45:33Armour and Steph Curry,
- 45:34which led to you designing
- 45:36your own shoe that you wore in the game.
- 45:38Coming off the bench allowed
- 45:40you to be a national
- 45:41champion in your first year
- 45:42as a freshman.
- 45:44And coming off the bench
- 45:45allows you to get the most shots up.
- 45:47on your team.
- 45:49So to me, sister,
- 45:50it seems like a hell of a deal.
- 45:52You're playing for a legendary coach.
- 45:54You're winning.
- 45:55You're literally only
- 45:56averaging five less minutes
- 45:57than the starting shooting guard.
- 45:59Next year, I get it.
- 46:00She believes, hey, Tanaya is coming in.
- 46:03My minutes are probably
- 46:04going to be more decreased
- 46:05than I want them to be.
- 46:07But I think that a lot of these players,
- 46:09they often think about, I want to start.
- 46:11I want to start.
- 46:12I want to get these minutes.
- 46:12I want to get these minutes.
- 46:13But
- 46:14When you go to a school like
- 46:18South Carolina with a coach like Dawn,
- 46:20she's preparing you for the WNBA.
- 46:22So, yes,
- 46:22you might not get all the minutes.
- 46:25Right.
- 46:26Yes,
- 46:26you might not get all the minutes that
- 46:27you want to get,
- 46:28but she is developing you.
- 46:30And so the part that pisses
- 46:31me off is people say we
- 46:34want these players to be coached,
- 46:36but then when Dawn coaches these players,
- 46:38people complain about it.
- 46:39So you got to pick a struggle,
- 46:41pick a side.
- 46:42Like, which one is it?
- 46:44Yeah,
- 46:44she benched her when she was number one.
- 46:47I don't like when people say, oh,
- 46:48she had her in a short
- 46:49leash because I don't like
- 46:49to compare women to animals.
- 46:51Like,
- 46:51that's just weird to me a little bit.
- 46:52But I get the same.
- 46:54Like, they were like, oh,
- 46:55when she makes a mistake,
- 46:56they just pull her automatically,
- 46:57which is false.
- 46:57That's not true.
- 46:58Like, Dawn lets her play.
- 47:00She makes mistakes back to back to back.
- 47:02And then she's pulling her
- 47:03ass like she should.
- 47:04So for people that just want
- 47:06to see Malaysia do
- 47:07highlights for their enjoyment,
- 47:09now you have your wish.
- 47:10Your wish has come true.
- 47:12But in regards to her game developing,
- 47:14I don't think it's a better
- 47:14coach than Dawn Staley in
- 47:15the country to develop her as a guard,
- 47:17period.
- 47:18Like,
- 47:18I think that there's holes in her game.
- 47:20She is a superb and
- 47:23excellent offensive player.
- 47:25But baby,
- 47:26she has holes in her game on defense.
- 47:30Help side defense lay is
- 47:32always out of position all the time.
- 47:34Completely just does not
- 47:36know that if you are,
- 47:38if the ball is here and
- 47:40you're two people away, hello,
- 47:42you are in health.
- 47:43We learned this in
- 47:44elementary school when you're hooping,
- 47:46like out there floating, looking around,
- 47:49like just not knowing where to be.
- 47:51That is problematic.
- 47:52And it'll kill you in the WNBA.
- 47:54Like you will get scored on
- 47:55all the time in the WNBA.
- 47:57That's number one.
- 47:59Number two, basketball IQ.
- 48:01Like, and I get it.
- 48:02You're only a sophomore,
- 48:03so it will increase as she
- 48:04continues to grow.
- 48:05But basketball IQ is huge for her.
- 48:08She just makes very bad
- 48:10decisions with the basketball.
- 48:11It's one speed.
- 48:12It's just fast.
- 48:14It's just out of control.
- 48:16And yes, we do see highlight, you know,
- 48:19highlight plays from it
- 48:20because she is a excellent player.
- 48:22excellent score.
- 48:23She's great with the basketball.
- 48:24She's, she's shifty.
- 48:25She knows how to use her body.
- 48:26She can finish through contact.
- 48:28Like she is great on offense,
- 48:30but it's two sides to a ball.
- 48:31And that's what I want
- 48:32people to understand.
- 48:33I think with this new
- 48:34generation of young kids
- 48:36with these casuals,
- 48:37Everyone just wants to see people score.
- 48:39And that's why people love
- 48:40Kaitlyn Clark so much.
- 48:41They don't give a shit about
- 48:42Kaitlyn and I playing defense.
- 48:44They just want to see her
- 48:44shoot logo threes.
- 48:46That's not basketball, bro.
- 48:47Like,
- 48:48I like the game of basketball where
- 48:49you're playing both sides of the floor,
- 48:51where you actually have to
- 48:52have good basketball IQ.
- 48:54And Dawn is a coach that
- 48:56could have helped her
- 48:56achieve these things.
- 48:58You know, it's a such thing as, you know,
- 49:00patience, right?
- 49:02Your turn is coming.
- 49:04It's your time to shine.
- 49:06And I think that I don't
- 49:08love the decision for her to leave,
- 49:09but I respect the decision
- 49:10for her to leave.
- 49:12My only wish for her is that
- 49:13she goes to a school where
- 49:15the coaches are not just
- 49:16going to utilize her solely for scoring,
- 49:18but they also help her...
- 49:20you know better her game
- 49:22they help her develop
- 49:23mentally like I hope it's a
- 49:24mutual beneficial
- 49:25relationship and not just
- 49:26hey lay I know you really
- 49:28want to start go ahead you
- 49:29got a green light shoot
- 49:30lights out we already know
- 49:32she can average twenty
- 49:32twenty five points when
- 49:33given the when given the
- 49:34minutes right but it's like
- 49:36what you do like we know you can score
- 49:40What else do you want to improve on?
- 49:41So where she goes,
- 49:43where she decides to go is
- 49:44going to tell me a lot
- 49:45about if she's serious or
- 49:48not about her game or if
- 49:49she just want to go out
- 49:50there and get buckets and
- 49:51average the most points in the country.
- 49:53I'm with you on that.
- 49:54And one thing before I shoot
- 49:55it over to you, Nick,
- 49:56is that one thing I said,
- 49:59and some people didn't laugh at it,
- 50:01but you got to be careful
- 50:04wanting to go be the guy
- 50:05when you're not ready.
- 50:06Because when you go on the
- 50:08scouting report and you go
- 50:10from number two,
- 50:11three on the report to number one,
- 50:14that shit is different.
- 50:17They're starting the night
- 50:18off to stop you.
- 50:20Now you have to find a way
- 50:21to get your shit off.
- 50:23When you're number two or
- 50:24number three option,
- 50:25They're not – you're going
- 50:27to get your shit off
- 50:27because they're stopping
- 50:28the other people in front of you.
- 50:29So that's the one thing I'm
- 50:32worried about because not
- 50:33saying she can't be number one option.
- 50:36Is she ready to be that
- 50:37number one option right now?
- 50:39And coming off last year,
- 50:40I don't know if she is.
- 50:41And like you said,
- 50:42it's going to be the fifth.
- 50:43I forgot to take the schools.
- 50:44I don't even know what she
- 50:45said in the schools.
- 50:47Did she say in the schools?
- 50:49She didn't say anything.
- 50:51Sources are saying Ole Miss
- 50:52and USC are in the race.
- 50:54There we go.
- 50:55So you go to Ole Miss.
- 51:00But you're right, though, Jay.
- 51:01Like, when you said that, you know,
- 51:03some people aren't ready,
- 51:04and is she ready to be that, you know,
- 51:06number one go-to player?
- 51:07I think the thing that
- 51:09special number one go-to
- 51:10players have is this –
- 51:12Your basketball IQ.
- 51:14Hers has not developed yet.
- 51:15So it's hard to be a leader
- 51:16when you don't understand the game.
- 51:18When you don't understand,
- 51:19if my man is standing this way,
- 51:20I have a counter move.
- 51:21You know what I'm saying?
- 51:22Like, if this person is defending here,
- 51:24I'm going to go help side.
- 51:26Like, she doesn't understand that yet.
- 51:28Hopefully, you know,
- 51:29before next year it takes another step.
- 51:32And people are saying if she
- 51:33gets a little bit more PT,
- 51:34maybe she will.
- 51:35I don't necessarily agree with that,
- 51:36but we'll see.
- 51:37I wish her the best, though.
- 51:38Yeah.
- 51:41You right,
- 51:41because you're going to start
- 51:43getting double teams.
- 51:44Are you cooking?
- 51:45You're getting double teams.
- 51:45Look at Kaitlyn from her college juju.
- 51:48Look at the juju.
- 51:49They had three people on her.
- 51:50You know what I'm saying?
- 51:50So it's just – you're going
- 51:51to get – you got to know
- 51:53how to – you got to know
- 51:54where the double team is
- 51:54coming from to pass it out.
- 51:56You get to reset, get the ball back.
- 51:58You got to figure all that
- 51:58shit out when you're not
- 51:59the number two or number three option.
- 52:01So you're just going to – I
- 52:02just want her to develop.
- 52:04I don't want her to go
- 52:04somewhere just to get her shots up.
- 52:06And also,
- 52:07what the hell does the do not
- 52:08contact mean?
- 52:09Like –
- 52:10Schools can't contact you
- 52:11and try to recruit you.
- 52:14It means basically she's
- 52:15going to contact the people
- 52:16that she's interested in or
- 52:18the people already know.
- 52:20Yeah, okay.
- 52:20That's what I thought it meant.
- 52:21Okay, now I got to.
- 52:23I didn't want to be talking
- 52:25about somebody.
- 52:28Oh, when I said USC, I meant Southern Cal.
- 52:31But it's a possibility.
- 52:33Maybe she leaves this year and goes back.
- 52:34Who knows?
- 52:35Anything possible.
- 52:36Because sometimes people
- 52:37need to realize the grass
- 52:38ain't always greener.
- 52:40It's not.
- 52:41Okay.
- 52:42How do you think she will
- 52:43look going to an Ole Miss team, Nick?
- 52:48I don't know.
- 52:49I'll be honest.
- 52:51I really don't see anywhere
- 52:52else that really fits for her.
- 52:54I mean, Coach Yo is cool.
- 52:56Don't get me wrong.
- 52:56But I just can't really
- 53:00picture her going anywhere, honestly.
- 53:01If you ask me,
- 53:02I think in the end she's going to stay.
- 53:04That's just my two cents.
- 53:06Because I really feel like
- 53:07there's no better fit for her, like,
- 53:08It's like everything that Lowe was saying.
- 53:11Like, she could go any school.
- 53:12She could go to USC.
- 53:13She could go Ole Miss.
- 53:15She could go even TCU, per se.
- 53:17She could go there,
- 53:18get the numbers that she wants,
- 53:20but it's not going to be the same impact,
- 53:21honestly, in my opinion,
- 53:24as being at South Carolina.
- 53:25And I get it.
- 53:25Maybe she is looking for a bigger role.
- 53:27Maybe she is tired of going off the bench.
- 53:29And I saw a lot of people
- 53:30pretty much blaming the
- 53:31whole Tenaya signing as a reason.
- 53:33Now, I look at it like this.
- 53:34Like,
- 53:36your starting two guard over the past
- 53:37few years was Tahina Papau.
- 53:39Now you're bringing in Tanaya Ladson.
- 53:41Those are two totally different players.
- 53:43Tanaya is definitely more
- 53:44dynamic than Tahina Pow Pow,
- 53:45respectfully.
- 53:46But even then, though,
- 53:47I still felt like that
- 53:48wasn't going to minimize
- 53:50Malaysia as a player.
- 53:50I feel like Dawn was still
- 53:51going to find a way to get
- 53:52Malaysia going just because
- 53:53she understands the
- 53:54talented player that she is, honestly.
- 53:56So I don't necessarily blame Tanaya.
- 53:58Maybe Tanaya's side did play
- 54:00a factor in Leigh wanting
- 54:02to enter the portal,
- 54:03but I just don't feel like
- 54:05Tanaya being there is
- 54:06necessarily going to stop
- 54:07Leigh from really making an impact
- 54:09on South Carolina.
- 54:09We felt like she was going
- 54:10to start because without Tanaya, well,
- 54:12we know Tanaya is going to start now,
- 54:14but Leigh felt like before
- 54:15Tanaya got there, she was going to start.
- 54:18So that's a huge thing.
- 54:20Because she wants to start.
- 54:21And again, like I said last week,
- 54:22I always was told that it's
- 54:24not who starts,
- 54:25it's who finishes the game.
- 54:26It's about who finishes.
- 54:27And you already know Leigh
- 54:28going to be in them closing lineups.
- 54:30But you know, when you're young,
- 54:32you're not thinking of that.
- 54:34That's true.
- 54:35That's definitely true.
- 54:38Go ahead.
- 54:38No, I mean, I was going to say, I mean,
- 54:40I agree with everything Lowe said,
- 54:41honestly.
- 54:41I mean,
- 54:42I've already tweeted out before a
- 54:43couple of days ago when the
- 54:44news came out that there's
- 54:45no better coach for her
- 54:46than Don Staley is like Lowe said.
- 54:48I mean,
- 54:48Don's going to prepare you for the
- 54:49next level.
- 54:50I know that.
- 54:51I know that people like to
- 54:52critique Don because they
- 54:53say Don doesn't produce
- 54:55great guards and all that.
- 54:56Like, let me tell you this, man.
- 54:57Like Zach Cook, Tiffany Mitchell,
- 55:02Destiny Henderson, Alicia Gray,
- 55:05Raven Johnson.
- 55:07What do they all have in common?
- 55:08They all became national champions.
- 55:11And a lot of them still have
- 55:12a pretty good career, honestly.
- 55:13I mean, Zaya,
- 55:14you see Zaya still in the W.
- 55:15Alicia Gray's having a
- 55:16really good career right now in Atlanta.
- 55:18Tiffany's now with the Aces.
- 55:20But even then,
- 55:21she made a big impact with
- 55:22the Indiana Fever and
- 55:23Minnesota Lynx and even with Connecticut,
- 55:25honestly.
- 55:26So just because they didn't
- 55:27become like superstar caliber players,
- 55:30it doesn't mean that
- 55:30they're not great players.
- 55:31It doesn't mean that they
- 55:32can't have a productive career.
- 55:34And I think Leigh can benefit off of that,
- 55:36especially playing with Dawn Staley,
- 55:37which, I mean, we have seen her grow.
- 55:38I mean,
- 55:39even though she still has some
- 55:40maturity in her game that needs to grow,
- 55:42I feel like she can get
- 55:43better as a decision maker.
- 55:44She can definitely get better on defense.
- 55:45And the defense thing
- 55:46honestly comes from Everett
- 55:47because Leigh can be a
- 55:48really great defender.
- 55:49It's just that she's not.
- 55:50Was that?
- 55:51I said on ball.
- 55:53She's a good on ball defender.
- 55:55But even like when she's playing help side,
- 55:56like that's effort, though.
- 55:57And that's her having to be
- 55:59more engaged on the end of the floor,
- 56:00honestly, being able to help your team.
- 56:03but I'll be real.
- 56:04As far as another fit for Leigh,
- 56:06I just don't see it.
- 56:07Like I said,
- 56:07she can go to any other school
- 56:09and average the numbers.
- 56:10Hell,
- 56:10she could even leave the country of
- 56:11scoring and go into another school,
- 56:13but who's going to really
- 56:14even care about that?
- 56:15Hell, people were still critiquing Taniya.
- 56:17Taniya led the country of
- 56:18scoring this past year,
- 56:19but a lot of people didn't
- 56:19give a shit because Florida
- 56:20State was not in contention
- 56:22to win a national title.
- 56:23Let's talk about it honestly.
- 56:29Do you want to continue to
- 56:31add to your legacy,
- 56:32add to your resume as far as winning,
- 56:34because even when you look at her class,
- 56:37you have Malaysia Fawali, Juju, Hannah,
- 56:40Madison Brooke, all that.
- 56:43Juju, Hannah,
- 56:44Madison are trying to go
- 56:46after what you have already,
- 56:48which is a national title.
- 56:49And you right now are in the
- 56:51best position.
- 56:52Exactly.
- 56:53You look at your first two years,
- 56:54you won the championship your first year,
- 56:56and then y'all ended up
- 56:56losing this past year,
- 56:58but you still got to the
- 56:58national championship twice, so
- 57:00You're in the best position
- 57:01out of everybody in your
- 57:03class to win a national championship.
- 57:06So if you ask me, I think Leisha stay.
- 57:09I think she's going to stay.
- 57:10But if she does leave,
- 57:12I just hope that it's the right school,
- 57:13honestly.
- 57:15And the thing about Don,
- 57:17when people are saying Don
- 57:18doesn't develop guards,
- 57:20what coach is developing guards?
- 57:21Like, please let me know, please.
- 57:24Whitcoach,
- 57:24that's going to be my rebuttal
- 57:25from now on.
- 57:26Whitcoach is developing guards.
- 57:28Outside of Notre Dame being guard U,
- 57:30which was a combination of
- 57:32Muffet and Neal, like,
- 57:35we can even go back to, what, Rutgers,
- 57:39CVS.
- 57:42She had a lot of guards.
- 57:43They had, what, Erica Wheeler.
- 57:45They had Cappy Pondexter.
- 57:48They had Mati Ajavan.
- 57:50They had Bet Nija.
- 57:51Like, they have a lot of guards.
- 57:53But outside of those two schools,
- 57:54who are really developing?
- 57:55Like, you can throw UConn in there.
- 58:00But outside of those three major schools,
- 58:03what other coaches are
- 58:04truly developing guards?
- 58:05This is true.
- 58:06This is true.
- 58:07This is true.
- 58:11So people just like to shit on Don.
- 58:12Just say y'all don't like her.
- 58:17That's cool.
- 58:18Just say it.
- 58:18Anything else on the portal
- 58:19before we get up out of here?
- 58:20One more thing and we'll get
- 58:21up out of here.
- 58:23Just real quick,
- 58:23I was a big fan of the Cody
- 58:25McMahon signing at Ole Miss.
- 58:27I think she's going to make a big impact.
- 58:28Oh, yeah, that's right.
- 58:30Y'all got to give credit to Coach Yo, man.
- 58:32She's been up and active.
- 58:35up and active man like just
- 58:36trying to just trying to
- 58:37put her team in a much
- 58:38better position like any
- 58:39coach should honestly man
- 58:40so shout out to her for
- 58:42being able to do her thing
- 58:42like I said Cody McMahon is
- 58:43a big pickup and Ole Miss
- 58:46she needs a coach like that
- 58:48yeah she does she
- 58:49definitely does I think her
- 58:50time at Ohio State was
- 58:51definitely definitely done
- 58:54and I'm glad that she's now
- 58:55in a new program honestly
- 58:56where I think she could
- 58:56thrive in yeah I'm with you
- 58:59on that anything else
- 59:03No.
- 59:03On the portal?
- 59:05All right.
- 59:05Before we get up out of here, man,
- 59:06we're going to talk about
- 59:06the WNBA real quick.
- 59:08The schedule came out for Rivals Week.
- 59:11And this is one thing I
- 59:12don't like that all leagues
- 59:14are starting to do.
- 59:15They're trying to make up rivals.
- 59:18That shit just don't be the
- 59:19same when you make them up.
- 59:21You know what I'm saying?
- 59:22Like,
- 59:22it just don't have that same feeling.
- 59:23Like, these teams don't hate.
- 59:25I get the Sky versus Fever.
- 59:28I understand.
- 59:29Man, who are the Dockery's rivals?
- 59:31They didn't even play the game yet.
- 59:34Right.
- 59:34Like,
- 59:34I understand New York versus the Aces,
- 59:37shit like that.
- 59:38You got the dream versus Golden State.
- 59:40For what?
- 59:43You know what I'm saying?
- 59:44Hold on real quick.
- 59:45I just want to go back to a
- 59:46comment real quick.
- 59:47I wouldn't say the Rutgers
- 59:48developed guards during those times.
- 59:50They never made a Sweet Sixteen.
- 59:53All those guards I named are
- 59:54elite guards in the WNBA.
- 59:56So that's what I mean by
- 59:57developing guards.
- 59:58Like,
- 59:58you're developing guards in college
- 1:00:00to prepare them for the WNBA.
- 1:00:01I just wanted to make that clear.
- 1:00:05But, yeah, pull it back up, Wally.
- 1:00:06What?
- 1:00:12I wanted to make it clear.
- 1:00:13No, yeah, hold on, hold on.
- 1:00:15I just wanted to make sure I wasn't, like,
- 1:00:17not explaining it correctly.
- 1:00:19No, I got you.
- 1:00:21But, man, I understand this.
- 1:00:23Rivals weak.
- 1:00:24But, man, this is forcing it.
- 1:00:26There's no real rivalries, man.
- 1:00:30Yeah, after Fever Sky, Aces and Liberty...
- 1:00:35What else is there?
- 1:00:36The fever in the sky is low-key force.
- 1:00:38That's force, too.
- 1:00:39It's not a rivalry at all, bro.
- 1:00:42Just call it what it is.
- 1:00:44You make a lot of money from
- 1:00:45the race wars.
- 1:00:46Just call it what it is.
- 1:00:47It's not a rivalry.
- 1:00:48It's race wars.
- 1:00:50Exactly.
- 1:00:51I like this.
- 1:00:53I understand when leagues do it, but
- 1:00:56Rivalries are better when it's like, man,
- 1:00:59it's really some real tension here.
- 1:01:01It's a real – like,
- 1:01:02we really don't like – like,
- 1:01:02we going back and forth.
- 1:01:03Like, we just forcing it on us.
- 1:01:05So, I mean, that's my two cents on that.
- 1:01:08I just don't – I don't get it.
- 1:01:09We're going to see the fever in the sky.
- 1:01:11They're going to have their
- 1:01:12own playoff series throughout the season.
- 1:01:14They're going to play a thousand times.
- 1:01:15So, it's like,
- 1:01:17this don't like – this don't even matter.
- 1:01:18You know what I'm saying?
- 1:01:19But if they really wanted to do a rivalry,
- 1:01:21they should have had the
- 1:01:22Aces versus Seattle.
- 1:01:25Yeah.
- 1:01:25Yeah.
- 1:01:26Why the fuck did they not
- 1:01:27think about that?
- 1:01:29Are you kidding me right now?
- 1:01:31Oh, my God.
- 1:01:32You got to be kidding me.
- 1:01:35Oh, my God.
- 1:01:36How you fumble that?
- 1:01:38Bro, WBA,
- 1:01:38y'all need to get me on the payroll,
- 1:01:40I'm trying to tell you.
- 1:01:41Lo, you are right.
- 1:01:42They got Seattle playing the dream,
- 1:01:45and that's it.
- 1:01:46It should have been Seattle.
- 1:01:49Or Sparks versus Vegas.
- 1:01:52Like, Sparks, come on.
- 1:01:53You got KP going against our old team.
- 1:01:57Like, what are we?
- 1:01:59But, man, Aces versus Seattle is the one.
- 1:02:02Hold on.
- 1:02:02They should have said pray for me, y'all.
- 1:02:03Ain't nothing wrong.
- 1:02:04I just want KB off my team.
- 1:02:08Hey, do the Aces even have a GM yet?
- 1:02:10Might be stuck with that sister.
- 1:02:13Do the Aces got a GM yet?
- 1:02:14Didn't they sign somebody?
- 1:02:15Or I don't remember, actually.
- 1:02:18those guards were
- 1:02:20all-Americans in high
- 1:02:21school were speaking about development.
- 1:02:24Just because you're
- 1:02:25all-American in high school
- 1:02:26don't mean you don't get
- 1:02:27development in college.
- 1:02:28Exactly,
- 1:02:29because that means all the guards
- 1:02:30that's ever been
- 1:02:31all-Americans would have
- 1:02:32made it to the WNBA and
- 1:02:33would be all-stars.
- 1:02:35What are we talking about, y'all?
- 1:02:37I'm really trying to be polite tonight.
- 1:02:39What are we talking about, y'all?
- 1:02:41What are we talking about, y'all?
- 1:02:42I thought that was real.
- 1:02:44I thought that was obvious.
- 1:02:45Like,
- 1:02:47Every All-American is not, you know,
- 1:02:49going to be that.
- 1:02:51You know what I'm saying?
- 1:02:52Come on, man.
- 1:02:53We're not going to go there.
- 1:02:55But Dan, the Aces don't have a GM yet.
- 1:02:58No, they don't.
- 1:03:00Oh, my God.
- 1:03:00They can't be two weeks.
- 1:03:02Be polite.
- 1:03:03I am.
- 1:03:03I'm being polite, buddy.
- 1:03:04Hey, Shell,
- 1:03:04you should go ahead and be the GM.
- 1:03:08Real quick, all the Aces fans,
- 1:03:09were y'all mad that Harmony
- 1:03:11didn't pick up the phone?
- 1:03:13Because Jada was on her ass
- 1:03:15and other Aces fans on the timeline.
- 1:03:17She responded, though.
- 1:03:18She said her phone was glitching.
- 1:03:19Like,
- 1:03:19I guess so many people were calling her.
- 1:03:21Yeah, she did say that.
- 1:03:22She did say that.
- 1:03:23People were so mad, though.
- 1:03:23But Harmony, look.
- 1:03:24Harmony, they might... I got you, sis.
- 1:03:28Felicia.
- 1:03:28But Harmony might take KB's spot.
- 1:03:30They might kick her out.
- 1:03:31I mean, like, you know, she might not...
- 1:03:34Man,
- 1:03:34KB on TikTok more than she is in the gym.
- 1:03:36I know y'all sick of seeing sister.
- 1:03:42I know y'all sick of seeing her.
- 1:03:43I'm going to piss off some
- 1:03:44Aces fans saying this,
- 1:03:45but now with Cheyenne Parker pregnant,
- 1:03:47they got to stay with Kia
- 1:03:48Stokes at the start of Sunday.
- 1:03:49I'm sorry.
- 1:03:56Hey, man.
- 1:03:57It sucks, but hey.
- 1:04:01Is this the last year of KB's contract?
- 1:04:04Oh, my God.
- 1:04:06For they sake, I hope so.
- 1:04:08Hey, listen, Kia been in the gym.
- 1:04:09Y'all better start playing with her.
- 1:04:10Big Kia, not the little.
- 1:04:12Big Kia, not the little.
- 1:04:13Try the Kia, man.
- 1:04:17I'll take Kia before I take KB.
- 1:04:18Yeah.
- 1:04:18Yeah.
- 1:04:18Y'all both in.
- 1:04:23Look, KB has been unlimited,
- 1:04:25and she ain't got better.
- 1:04:27The crazy part is KB was
- 1:04:29good at Florida Golf Cubs.
- 1:04:31I'm just like, what?
- 1:04:33She was good in her early career, too.
- 1:04:34I don't know what happened.
- 1:04:37Kia was coming off foot.
- 1:04:39So, yeah.
- 1:04:40So, you know how that goes.
- 1:04:41So,
- 1:04:41when you get a year where you ain't got
- 1:04:42to try to, like, rehab.
- 1:04:44Bro, Kia wasn't even rebounding last year.
- 1:04:46Like, she wasn't even rebounding.
- 1:04:47Like,
- 1:04:48at least the year before when they
- 1:04:49won a championship, Kia was, like,
- 1:04:51actually rebounding the ball.
- 1:04:52So, I think she'll be better this year.
- 1:04:58um she's been in the league
- 1:04:59for how long at least six
- 1:05:00years she's been in the
- 1:05:02league for a minute we're
- 1:05:03giving her a chance I don't
- 1:05:05mind here I just think that
- 1:05:06she got to be able to put
- 1:05:07make a layup like maybe eat
- 1:05:08chipotle on tiktok more
- 1:05:10than facts listen she

- 1:05:30Y'all got anything?
- 1:05:31I'm trying to think.
- 1:05:33No.
- 1:05:34Oh, yeah, I do want to say this.
- 1:05:38I do want to say Lakers in five.
- 1:05:41Y'all better not let us go
- 1:05:42to the Western Conference
- 1:05:43finals because I'm talking my big shit,
- 1:05:45and that's all I got with that.
- 1:05:46I think y'all can do it.
- 1:05:48What's their path?
- 1:05:49I know they play Minnesota.
- 1:05:50Who would they play after this?
- 1:05:51Don't matter.
- 1:05:52Lakers in five.
- 1:05:53Don't matter.
- 1:05:54Let's pull it up real quick.
- 1:05:55That's a good question.
- 1:05:56I don't know they passed.
- 1:05:57I didn't look at that.
- 1:06:00I also think that who's playing Denver?
- 1:06:04I think the Clippers are playing Denver.
- 1:06:07I think the Clippers are
- 1:06:08going to be Denver as well.
- 1:06:10I'm with y'all on that.
- 1:06:11I like that.
- 1:06:12They playing Houston?
- 1:06:13Oh, yeah.
- 1:06:13We're going through them.
- 1:06:15I ain't going to lie.
- 1:06:15She ain't safe either.
- 1:06:20Okay, see, they put no fear in my life.
- 1:06:22They literally,
- 1:06:24we cooked them not the last time,
- 1:06:26but the time before that.
- 1:06:27We literally beat the shit out of them.
- 1:06:29And then the last game,
- 1:06:30we got- Y'all would have won that game.
- 1:06:32They didn't kick out Luka.
- 1:06:36And we didn't even have Rui.
- 1:06:37So them little guys don't
- 1:06:40put no fear in my heart.
- 1:06:41Lakers in five.
- 1:06:44Once y'all get past the lake
- 1:06:46of Timberwolves,
- 1:06:48you're going to play the
- 1:06:49Rockets between the Rockets, Grizzlies,
- 1:06:51or Warriors.

- 1:07:44Anything else y'all want to
- 1:07:45say before we get up out of here?
- 1:07:46Lakers in five?
- 1:07:47Anything else?

- 1:07:49I'll be respectful.
- 1:07:50Lakers in six.

- 1:07:51Shout out to Diamond.
- 1:07:53I'm going to hit her up to
- 1:07:55see if she's going to come on the pod.
- 1:07:56She came on the night before.
- 1:07:57Lakers in five is insane.
- 1:07:59What if it happens, though?
- 1:08:00What if it happens?
- 1:08:01Hey, man, y'all.
- 1:08:02Hang on.
- 1:08:02Real quick.
- 1:08:03Real quick.
- 1:08:03I forgot.
- 1:08:04This is a portal news.
- 1:08:05I forgot.
- 1:08:06Mimi Wheeler went to West Virginia.
- 1:08:07What y'all think about that?
- 1:08:08I like it.
- 1:08:10Yeah.
- 1:08:11I like it, too.
- 1:08:11West Virginia was a scrappy
- 1:08:12team last year.
- 1:08:13Yeah, they always, yeah.
- 1:08:15They play hard.
- 1:08:15I like it.
- 1:08:16They play real hard.
- 1:08:17And we see that.
- 1:08:18And, you know,
- 1:08:19Mimi's trying to make it to
- 1:08:20the W. So we see that if you said HBCU,
- 1:08:21they not picking you.
- 1:08:22Yeah.
- 1:08:22Disgusting.
- 1:08:23It's so disgusting.
- 1:08:27So disgusting.
- 1:08:28Like, how you go from a top ten pick,
- 1:08:31and then the next year,
- 1:08:32you don't even get your name called.
- 1:08:34All because...
- 1:08:36You went there.
- 1:08:37If it happened, Laker fans better run.
- 1:08:39Hey, listen.
- 1:08:41You talking about if Minnesota beat them?
- 1:08:45I don't think so.
- 1:08:46Bro, we're not a team with Bron, Luka,
- 1:08:50and now ARs and his Birkin.
- 1:08:52We're not getting beat in five now.
- 1:08:54Even if we were to get beat,
- 1:08:55which we won't.
- 1:08:56It won't be five.
- 1:08:57Believe that.
- 1:08:57Minnesota not beating the Lakers.
- 1:08:58It's going to be hard to
- 1:09:00beat these dudes in a series, dog.
- 1:09:03Lamar, put somebody where your mouth is.
- 1:09:05I put a hundred dollars on it.
- 1:09:07Oh, shit.
- 1:09:10They're not losing in five.
- 1:09:10Oh, shit.
- 1:09:10Put your money up.
- 1:09:14They sure coming for you, though.
- 1:09:15There she is.
- 1:09:19Y'all is good.
- 1:09:22Oh, my God.
- 1:09:23Oh, you said seven.
