about it that was just for the show I ain’t know they told me and I was looking they said you might really need to check on murder like you just said you might need to check on man we said for the show sake you know I’ll just checking the day just checking in that’s it what’s good you all right MH that you was just on at the NBA game on Olympics last night I got to see Team USA play Team Canada was an interesting game I think it was a very slow start I think it got a lot of people worried for Team USA because I feel like their chemistry isn’t there all the way yet they’re still trying to figure it out but I will say I know how we were laughing before about um Ant-Man not laughing because that’s not the right term but about Ant-Man saying that he’s the first option no it’s a bold take but to me he was looking like it out there I you can ask Church in lobby walking here I said that I said the same thing I said am say looking like he really is the number one option I absolutely said that walking in the work this this morning I just just said that probably 10 minutes ago he came in knew something we didn’t know so he’s probably been saying I’ve been seeing it the last two seasons because at the end of the day they were actually losing till he got in the game and uh him and Tatum uh bought the team back but we we’ll discuss it definitely okay so before we discuss the actual game let’s talk about Ka Leonard so he is withdrawing from Team USA right before the Olympics the official statement says Ka has been ramping up for the Olympics over the past several weeks and had a few strong practices in Las Vegas he felt ready to compete however he respects that USA basketball and the Clippers determined it’s in his best interest to spend the remainder of the summer preparing for the upcoming season rather than participating in the Olympic games in Paris what is you guys’ thoughts on that quote that statement in Kawaii no longer being part of the team well actually I think it’s a it’s a brilliant idea for Kawai to sit out I mean he’s always been a player that needed rest he’s always a player that um that has required more time off the field for the same particular um thing that’s going on with his niece and when you think about um just just like they just paid them all this money this would be the wrong time for him to get hurt or have any kind of setbacks and I I want you to think about this if you’re watching this at home or any place else if if you finally pay a person and then this person is is ready to go all across the world and play basketball and then when they come back to the person who paid them they say they need rest it because you’ve been resting this whole time this this definitely doesn’t make sense for anything that the clip want to do especially with them losing Paul George they need him to be 100% they don’t have another option and they just couldn’t risk it I wouldn’t risk it at all this is a two-time um Defensive Player of the Year and he’s coming off one of his best seasons in a while because he was able to finish with 68 games or so I said this I said this I I a say this that I was like [ __ ] need to sit [ __ ] down because I’ve been say for three days the NBA season is more important to the Olympics when it comes to NBA coaches GMS and owners we don’t talk about Carmelo’s three rings I just said this [ __ ] yesterday [ __ ] sit your ass down it is no load Management pors in the Olympics you can’t load manage in the Olympics [ __ ] so it’s not going to work secondly you have you know who’s the assistant coach one of them you so Ron Lou you think he don’t see what’s going on T Lou is sitting there like oh hell no this [ __ ] limping nah B nah n n n he put the call out yeah Paul Jo he was there he had to make the call yo let me talk to you you been having fun yeah well pack it up pack it up we need you next season Paul George is going like Ma just said tou is sitting there monitoring this situation not saying he wouldn’t have been a coach anyway but he’s sitting there monitoring his number one option when basketball ball team when basketball season starts not performing to the level that kawhai Lon is capable of Performing to and to me um kawwai looked and po no disrespect he looked chubby he looked he didn’t look like a lean Kawai Lena in shape like when I was watching it from a distance I’m doing warm-ups I’m like who is that I don’t even know cuz his hair was different and [ __ ] I’m like that oh that’s Ka Lenard that [ __ ] look kind of fat he looked like when James Haron didn’t want to play for certain [ __ ] and was coming to the Houston Rockets and all that out of shape that’s how he look and it just goes to show they said basically that it was Team USA and the Clippers decision [ __ ] the Clippers made this decision absolutely and especially with tud they watching it then you have to think about this m alluded to it a little bit before Georgia is going and you think that Paul George don’t know that kawh Leonard is always hurt and he may have a inside not even maybe he definitely has a better inside than the average analyst like M myself or anybody else because he’s sitting there watching them be hurt probably more times than we see on television so when he asks for a fourth year with the Clippers and the Clippers tell him nah and gamble on that that’s stupid of the Clippers knowing that kawai’s always hurt Paul George here says all right cool I’ll come back and [ __ ] with y’all I don’t know if this team going win a championship but I want to another year I want a fouryear deal and they said no we giving you the same deal kaai got oh I’m going to be here I don’t know if kawai’s going to be here either give me the fourth year you don’t Clippers gambled on it thinking that probably he from La he don’t want to leave home and they beted on that and lost the bet and now Paul George his exact words was uh when they ask why you didn’t stay up the clipers he said I felt they disrespected me that was his exact words so when he says he feel disrespect I didn’t see anything outright to where they were talking to him crazy or said something slick about him he was talking about the contract knowing what’s wrong with K leonnard knowing that you’re not going to get it done just with um James Haren and Russell Westbrook and myself if you’re going to do that knowing what’s going on in the Western Conference pay me and they didn’t pay him but I knew this was probably going to happen I knew it I didn’t know put it like this I didn’t know it was going to happen but I felt this was the best decision for the Clippers uh to have a any chance in the Western Conference next season to to do what exactly to have any type of chance to get to the playoffs that’s what I’m saying by resting them by not playing him in the Olympics because we have to think about it you just said that he had his best season uh 68 games but he couldn’t even finish the playh horse yeah so you have a great regular season and 68 games now you know now we’re saluting 68 games not you I’m just saying in general that’s the type of [ __ ] like no he did play 68 like that’s a stat these These Days 82 yeah you know so that’s a stat but for the previous two years before that he didn’t play at all not that much he’s always hurt and then he couldn’t finish this season I’m the Clippers organization we just gave that man that money please sit down please sit down so when I say the best chance I’m talking about the best chance of even getting to the playoffs let alone trying to get to a Western Conference Finals or Championship that’s what I meant Me by that yeah okay so let’s discuss ka’s replacement Derek white do you guys feel like this is the right choice for Team USA um me personally I salute the Derek white for getting the um the nod to play on this team pause but clearly there’s is a elephant in the room when you talk about Boston is is amazing how they just skipped over Jaylen Brown this makes abs absolutely no sense I could think of probably like four other players that should have gotten that call if they were looking let’s say they was just looking for a smaller guard what about Jaylen Brunson J the the the season that Jaylen Brunson just had is almost like we was just talking about disrespectful when cam brought up about Paul George this is super disrespectful but New York to not have him on this team because not New York Team USA I mean yeah I’m saying but it’s disrespect for the whole New York you know the fans in New York is like everything is disrespectful when it come to them [ __ ] man everything we can’t even be up here everything we do is disrespectful to New York and to the Knicks so I was trying to put them in the show you know when it comes to New York Knicks they definitely feel like Jaylen Brunson belong on this team I also believe jayen Bronson belong on this team even when you think of somebody like Tyrese Maxi if you’re looking for a smaller guard so I don’t know what USA was looking for but actually Jaylen Brown definitely belong on this team like how how do you get MVP in the finals and you don’t even get the you’re not the first person that people call even if you’re not in the 12 you should definitely be the person that could replace the 12th man on the roster uh is no excuse for that and I know there’s rumors floating around that you know Nike may be behind it allegedly because um Grant Hill went on on the thing and said some things about when he was playing on USA but he was wearing Fela you know he got some trouble behind that or some Kickback however you want to say it so it’s there’s a lot of discrepancies and controversies out there I I don’t think there’s nobody on that team that believe Jaylen Brown shouldn’t have gotten a nod before Derek white no disrespect to Derek white we appreciate what he’s done in the league but you already got Drew holiday so if you gon you’re G to bring the back court back for Boston how do you skip over Jaylen Brown unless Jaylen Brown is hurt somewhere and we don’t know about it yeah I’m I’m gonna agree with Jaylen Brown not Jaylen Brunson Jaylen Brunson is undersized he’s super good don’t get me wrong but when we talking about the Olympics when you get the Europe them guys are tall Derek white is 6’4 good defensive player um one of one of these high class role players that we speak of um but to have three players from the Boston Celtics on the Team USA and not one of them is Jaylen Brown is just ridiculous and then you can sit there and allude to Derek White’s defense if you want to which we know of course that Jaylen Brown is a better offensive player and if you want to say that Derek white may be better defensively I have to beg to differ after the defense I seen him play in the championship against Luca against Kyrie against uh basically everybody on the Mavericks you know he’s 6667 so he could basically guard a one through three and he did an outstanding job and then when we think about Luca and talking about him being one of the best players in the world I didn’t never see Luca have so much trouble bringing the ball up to court in my life uh the five six seasons that he’s been in the NBA Jaylen Bruns was giving him problems defensively so if you want to say and say Derek white is a defense or whatever I seen Jaylen Brown play outstanding defense he got his left hand together he’s the Eastern Conference Finals MVP the finals MVP um I think all of that may put the battery in his back not saying he wasn’t good already but he’s like yeah [ __ ] finally recognizing and then you do this and don’t put them in this you don’t first of all you don’t put them on any NBA team I’m talking about first second and third he gets MVP uh Eastern Conference in the finals like I just said then you snub him on the USA team for a replacement if if a [ __ ] would have told us a month ago it’s three Celtics on the Team USA guess who they are we would not guess that this is the three players yeah from the Boston Celtics on the Team USA I can’t sit here and you know act like I’m a professional when it comes to scouting and putting teams together as far as professional teams that is so on and so forth I seen Grant Hill you know slight to it like May said that he thinks Nike’s behind it because he will Felize his whole career etc etc um but it’s it’s just it’s just crazy that you don’t put this man on the team and if you think Jaylen Brown doesn’t care why did he tweet what he tweeted you know he had the rock Emoji the one I up [ __ ] with the one glasses like word [ __ ] this what [ __ ] is doing and I’m trying to think how to word this correctly because I don’t want to sit here and put that out there because I seen people putting it out there that Steve Kerr and tou and them is trying to break Boston up I seen that out there I don’t want to say that because I’m not going to go that far but I don’t know how that is when you go back to the locker room when the season start like yeah we brought home to go if they bring home the gold that’s not a forego conclusion in my eyes but if they do like yo I’m looking at at Derek wer from Jaylen Brown it’s like and no disrespect to what I’m about to say but if if we on Manhattan Senate and y’all pick Tim gens headache over me to go to the allstar game I got a problem with that no disrespect to him you my you my man I know you had a career late on and one and training with the liberty and all that we talk about man Sun if they pick Tim gens to go to the allar whatever and I’m not going Rich Parker Tim gens and and and Joelle or Dwayne Jordan some and I don’t go I got a problem with that I got a problem with that no like I said no dis I know you had a better basketball career afterwards and all that you know but at the end of the day I I’m sincerely upset with that so uh we’ll see what happens I don’t know I can’t say but if you have to ask my opinion Jaylen Brown should definitely be in the Olympics before Derek white okay so you guys kind of mentioned Jaylen Brown’s tweets obviously the emojis that he posted and then he said at Nike this what we doing so Stephen a um took this opportunity to kind of clear the air on what he was saying previously when he was saying an NBA Source had told him that Jaylen Brown wasn’t as likable that was the word choice he used so in a tweet he said do y’all believe me now yo Jaylen Brown do I need to reveal my sources now is it not obvious now how in the hell is a $300 million man now a champion in the NBA Finals MVP who’s clearly a top two player on the Celtics and a top 15 player in the world not chosen for Team USA because his teammate not named Jason Tatum is selected before him come on y’all so what yall think about what Stephen A yeah so I have a I have a serious problem with what what Stephen A just said because when you talk about being likable right um this this goes down a lot of Roads because this this speaks to like the underlining problems with people when it comes to any business yes when you’re likable that’s that’s with coaching but the likeability shouldn’t play into if I’m a better player than somebody I don’t even make the team you you can put that in some places on the team but that shouldn’t be the reason you don’t make the team and I know the first thing people um hint to and put their finger on pause is Isaiah Thomas when he didn’t make the Olympic team with Jordan and Stockton there people like man there’s no way Isaiah Thomas is not on this team everybody you got on there is cool but Zeke belong on his team and maybe that’s what he’s alluding to but even that I thought that was foul unless somebody on the team cuz there been rumored that that Jordan was the one that said he didn’t want to play with him you know what I’m saying and I’m not saying it was Jordan but I’m saying that that was the rumor growing up when I was growing up watching the game that he Jordan said if he plays that’s still that’s still the rumor yeah and there ain’t no rumor Jordan be denying that [ __ ] but we all know that what Isaiah and D Mars and ly bear now I didn’t mean to about what you saying y’all [ __ ] the Detroit Pistons beat the two years in a row they got they shook your hand when they lost when they beat you that year when y’all were the defending Champions y’all walked off before the game was over it was still time on the clock walk right past him and they shake their hands and Jordan end up being Jordan and he started calling shots kind of H like LeBron is calling shots now so as much as people be like rumored my bad I to interrupt you so is a same the same thing is going on when it comes to Jaylen Brown if you going to reveal your sources Stephen A let us know the source hit killer hit one of us and let us know the source cuz realistically somebody I had that Epiphany today somebody on that team said nah don’t bring jayen Brown and I had a I you know I have my sources Stephen you a the only one got sources I got I got sources theyig say yo the list came out they say yo boy ain’t going to play killer and it went like this we thinking about Derek white or um Jaylen Brown who do you think and [ __ ] said n ain’t even look he went like this and if you need me to show you the video I bring the video cuz I got the video he didn’t even want to look you a sucker and it be crazy CU it be your own maning them you know what I’m saying it be [ __ ] you think you cool [Laughter] with but you know on you I might bring I might bring the video tomorrow look I’m not if I have no way I have no way um of telling anybody who’s been doing this longer than us how to do especially somebody is success for Stephen A Smith how to do what they’re doing um how to be a journalist how to be a Sports Anchor and how to be the top personality in sports uh you know debatable between him and Shannon sharp whoever you want to pick because not only they on the internet they on lenia television every day so uh more eyeballs are on them and they’ve been and this is what Stephen A’s been doing uh maybe before longer than me and M has been in the entertainment business if not just have long as long when we was 18 19 years old um so I’m going to step out of my analyst chair for a minute and say this as a [ __ ] on the street or whatever yo stop talking about sources if you’re not going to tell us the source [ __ ] I’m not this not analyst cam this on the streets cam yo my [ __ ] you said you had a source before now the [ __ ] might be turned out to be right with you say now you teasing [ __ ] again talk about don’t make me reveal my S reveal them if not don’t even say Source just say I told you so cuz now [ __ ] want to know who the source is like my [ __ ] can’t sit there and be like yo do I need to reveal my s yes you do yeah yeah yeah now we fishing about Source yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah reveal the source for for a minute [ __ ] so we know who the source is cuz right now you having I Told You So moment where you didn’t have to say the source again you could have just been like I told you but you keep having this mysterious source and nobody knows who it is so I just want to say that as a [ __ ] on the street let me get back to my analyst chair you know what I’m saying no disrespect to the big bro appreciate you [ __ ] now back to what I was um back to um the original uh question look man as far as is uh having a source or somebody say I told you so or D Jaylen Brown not being good I had this conversation Jingles was in my crib earlier I said this is the Olympics and I wasn’t just even talking about Jaylen brown or Derek white or whatever I said this is not the time to be teaching nobody a lesson where is John Morin at yeah [ __ ] them pistols this is not the time to be teaching nobody a lesson the country’s reputation is on the line [ __ ] real [ __ ] lost the Canada last time they played like this game last night was a big deal because last time America lost this is not time to be teaching [ __ ] a lesson is Zion healthy I know he always we need the best young and not saying these [ __ ] still ain’t good we need the best of the best not teaching [ __ ] a Les this is no time to be like well he had to piss he paid the dudes the time theion is over yeah we need the best of the best [ __ ] I need I need all the the experienced older players and then top youngest players I like tyres hbert and I don’t like him like I like John Mor I don’t like him like that I’m just being honest with you I [ __ ] with you and all that but because John Moran got hurt in the middle of the last season then he got suspended all that [ __ ] we seem to forget when you played the whole season he was second Team all NBA or third Team all NBA one of the other part me if I don’t I can’t remember remember which one it is but that’s how long [ __ ] memory is they can’t remember 25 minutes ago this man is a problem and if you think he don’t come back next year healthy and he mad at all this Ant-Man [ __ ] all this jayen Brunson [ __ ] and all these younger players that’s around his age getting this chicken and and when I say chicken I don’t mean money right now I’m talking about Spotlight scoring killing [ __ ] he was on Pace to be kind of where Ant-Man is right now and I’m not saying that Ant-Man isn’t bigger has a better skill set or whatever but this is not a time to be teaching nobody a lesson Jas Brown likeable and not likable needs to be on the team I don’t want to hear about if [ __ ] don’t like [ __ ] I don’t want to hear about if the [ __ ] had a pistol Le serve this time and now we can’t trust them I don’t care the don’t bring the go home go ahead goad G play games out there with these [ __ ] and see that that we lost control of basketball around the world go ahead yeah there was there was a lot of [ __ ] in the NBA that [ __ ] didn’t like that was different Dennis Rodman Barkley you know what I’m saying was a lot of [ __ ] [ __ ] had problems with but you know they got it done on the court bro this is not listen we have one player from the United States on the first team all NBA this is very important to see if we lost control or not listen I don’t know if the World Cup or whatever it was part me World Cup is is soccer it’s World some [ __ ] last summer I believe or summer before last I can’t remember and dck schuder and them [ __ ] won he got MVP yeah and I know LeBron and and Curry and Durant on playing but [ __ ] yo you think [ __ ] don’t get a joy out of kicking New York part New York United States ass in basketball because that’s our claim to fame when it comes to basketball we supposed to be them [ __ ] yeah yeah cuz end of the day listen as much as basketball has caught up with the rest of the world outside the United States we still pay the most money we still have the biggest entertainment value oh some [ __ ] would stay home and play this is why these [ __ ] come to America and play because more eyeballs are gonna beat on them but at the end of the day [ __ ] yo this is not listen this is not time to be teaching nobody a damn lesson and ma made a great point about the Isaiah [ __ ] that was a little different because and Isaiah should have been on that team over John Stockton but they had too many monsters it was just everywhere you look it was just a damn problem on that team and I’m not saying on this team it’s okay but you you go through outside of Christian lner you looking at everybody on that 92 team like oh n this is a problem problem you look at Tyrese halberton and and Derek white like what you think when sh Guild Alexander see them [ __ ] he like he like word word word I get it I get yeah matter of fact he he licking his chop pores he Birman rubbing his hands [ __ ] he’s excited this what y’all got bet here wait go don’t

supposed to get us ready or whatever that nigga’s a [ __ ] pause when I seen LR fre well choke him out I was like I remember that [ __ ] he the [ __ ] was in the middle of the camp we all you know you sitting on the floor [ __ ] talking you said none of y’all are going to the NBA there a thousand kids sitting there yeah none of y’all I don’t even believe none of y’ yall are good enough shut up [ __ ] say yo that [ __ ] was rude very rude wow and then when I seen latr speo took out I said yeah I remember that [ __ ] when I went to se Hall camp that [ __ ] was M rud I’m not saying he doesn’t know

how you guys feel about Joelle and beid being on Team USA don’t go anywhere I’m M regardless this ain’t fixing I promise you it’s a promise yes it is and look I’m being modest yes I am I’mma get M regardless I’mma get M regardless I’mma get M regard welcome back now let’s get into our Underdog fantasy pcks of the day so tonight the Liberty will play the sky Underdog fantasy has bana Stewart at nine and a half rebounds do you have higher lower mace I’m going higher 10 lower hey Sabrina yonescu is at six assist do you have her higher or lower cam higher higher okay and Angel Reese is at 26 and a half points and rebounds combined you over higher or lower mace higher how much 26 and a half points and rebounds combined well okay download the underdog fantasy app and you can make your picks too so this is a hold on real quick while we on the WNBA AEL Wilson I don’t know if you seen what I said you’ve been going crazy she been whing since she had that little terry press conference I think whoever’s coaching her she was trying to play with her team and be a team player and that [ __ ] wasn’t working and she’s been killing she had a 2020 game uh the other night um I forget what she had tonight I just remember the 2020 but I was looking night after night she’s been looking ridiculous so and she got the um Aces back in third place if I believe they was like in seventh place she said [ __ ] it I tried to be a team player that [ __ ] ain’t working let me get back to doing what I’m doing so salute salute to AIA Wilson for recognizing that as much as I want to be a team player to get us to where we need to be I got to be wanting the ball I have to be saying I need this F for us to win just wanted to point that out while he was on the WNBA because everything is Caitlyn Clark or uh Angel Reese lately and we we’re not going to sit here and ignore what Asia Wilson’s been doing the last couple weeks shout out Asia okay so this has been kind of like pretty big debate on social media as of lately so a lot of people are unhappy with embiid being on Team USA mainly a lot of people from his country they’re feeling like he’s being disloyal but just in your opinion and from what you’ve seen even just from his gaml do you guys think that Joel andb should be team USA’s Olympic team me personally I don’t believe Joel and B should be on Team USA I mean preferbly number one because he’s not from the USA that would be a good reason to not be on Team USA whenever [ __ ] go to um make waivers and do all kind of things to get you on a team that lets you know that your Paul’s kind of been in the rules it’s almost like when we was growing up if [ __ ] got to get a new a new passport or a new birth certificate um a doctor’s note you know you know you’re doing something you shouldn’t be doing just to play the sport and I think the biggest let down that could possibly be is for a person to make it at anything and never come back to the people that he made it from you know what I’m saying just so no matter what the US is offering as much as I want the USA to win I think is a travesty to see to even see him in a USA um uniform even though he played at Kentucky and all of that but remember came from somewhere to play at Kentucky you were once a part of a whole another culture a whole another country and them people have every right to be live it they have every right to be like now come on cuz if you take everything that that country has contributed towards you and now you blow up and now you just make all of your resources go to the United States then you’ve crippled the the country that you come from so no shot at Joel embiid I’m just saying my observation of of this take what we’re looking at now because the only reason why the USA wants you on their team is because you give them their best chance of winning and if there wasn’t a guy out there by the name of Joker they probably wouldn’t even need you on the team but because there’s a joker out there they’re asking for you to be on Team USA because with all of those Wing players LeBron KD um um who Ant-Man um Drew holiday the newer choir of of Derek white none of that would mean anything if there’s a guy by the name of jok on that other team that is the only reason they have you there CU they know that Anthony Davis will not be enough for for um Joker and you not only will you be helping the US you’re going to be selling your country out so if you want to go back home and people be yelling sell out sell out when you come off the plane that’s all that’s all it’s going to be I wouldn’t do that um well let me ask you this murder yeah this an international tournament within the United States MH and Jacksonville wanted you to play for them and Harlem wanted you to play for them that’s a great question yeah kill with friends like these who need enemies who need enemies I’m just asking the question if they both wanted you to play or the inter not International the domestic National Tournament Jacksonville needed you and Harlem needed you who are you playing with I’m just it’s no wrong answer there no wrong I’m just wondering who you going to play with who need me who need en me I I can’t move on till you answer the question oh God that was that was good actually wait before I answer cuz I’mma answer it all right where was Joelle born Cameroon he was born in Cameroon how old was he when he left Cameron 15 that’s different that’s different but he’s 30 so he’s been here half his life yeah but I was only four I was only three or four years you went back you went back you went back when you was about 12 13 you went back for a couple years so no I I would be I would be clearly playing for Harlem because that’s where that’s where I spent all of my life he he spent he he grew he had his psychological development pause in um in Cameroon so that’s different so if something was to happen to him his psychology would go back to Cameron because that is his original upbringing my original upbringing wasn’t Jacksonville even though that was I was born there but good try killer that was a good one there was no wrong answer yeah that was a good one that was a good it’s not a wrong answer I was just wonder friends like these but I was just wondering cuz to me I kind of disagree with you when it comes to that because you know why yeah and I’m and not saying your point of your point of view is wrong I’m just saying why I disagree and and you white being here could attest to it and myself because when you live in Harlem you tend to be an adult at nine yeah much right you you tend to be an adult literally maybe six or seven you know what I’m saying come on man come on come on man this [ __ ] here man come seen this [ __ ] at the game keep trying to run down yeah matter of fact you tend you tend to be an adult at literally and I’m being nice saying n some [ __ ] seven eight years old so you you outside by yourself you going to the store by yourself you’re hanging out in the corner by yourself yeah who that [ __ ] let that [ __ ] in let that [ __ ] in man come on [Laughter] play sports Mafia in the house they calling you the mafia Rich they calling you the mafia I give you the credit calling you the mafia out here yo yo they can’t they can’t hear you you did your job nephew got to do his job here no we ain’t talking about that we talking about can we ask you two two minutes of your time two minutes I’m we play the back y yo two minute yo two we talking about we not talking about LeBron we not talking about NE night you talking about Joe be being on Team USA can we have two minutes of your opinion on him 25 [Laughter] first of all I’m watching the game I see you in the crowd I’m like I told you check in when you get here my [ __ ] you don’t call theight you got here yesterday you got here yesterday I got listen when I got in I already got the L they said man they just got out of here they scooters riding scoter yo this [ __ ] might as you stand up yo yo I’m gonna call you when I get out of here yeah I’m coming we be done about 20 minutes pause Rich PA Rich Paul friend of the show they coming to the window and start pointing fingers at us I love that [ __ ] yo um what the [ __ ] I was talking about oh yeah Harlem yeah we oh yeah that’s what I was talking about growing up and that’s what I was talking about when you when you’re Harlem you’re 9 years old and I’m being saying n you’re outside by yourself you going in the store by yourself uh you’re doing everything at literally s eight n years old St could you go to store by yourself when you was n I’m just asking you maybe you could no this what I’m saying is like like like not the store let alone the store could you go to another side of town and just hang out with other [ __ ] I couldn’t till I was way older yeah so when we sit there and say and that’s why I was talking about difference Mason I’m not saying your opinion is wrong I’m just saying because we were raised like that 15 is not really out there out there like that now I don’t know what Cameroon is like and and different parts of Africa is different things going on so I’m not saying joeb they jump off the porch so to speak off the stoop or off the grass or whatever’s out there off an elephant no disrespect but don’t disrespect for they take that the wrong way just kidding but at the end of the day he may not have a psychological adult mind to where we had I think it literally it I be telling [ __ ] cuz a lot of times people say to my I’m talking about cam situation they’ll be like Cam man we seen your whole adulthood basically you’ve been signed since you was 2122 we seen everything televised I say I said to be honest with you I had a crazier life before that from 8 to 20 was wow yo don’t think what you see from 8 to 20 was wow you know what I’m saying and it was another Fe and and I’m get off my story and get back to what we need to get to and you know I don’t frown upon anybody’s habits when you’re around me like as long as you control yourself I don’t frown upon your habit so if you want to sniff cocaine go just don’t be acting wild eyed and crazy or whatever so a female that was a thing you know what I’m saying I’m like can’t do your thing just don’t embarrass me in my in my house with my other friends around or whatever cool so she’s like cim you never tried cocaine I said no no I’ve never tried it you’re lying you can’t be serious you I said no literally I’ve never done any other a drug outside of weed I’ve never had ecstasy I’ve never done a Molly I’ve never done anything outside of weed I don’t believe you listen I had to tell I said but you got to realize I seen crack in real time it wasn’t a documentary it wasn’t a movie it wasn’t snowfall it wasn’t do I’ve seen it in real time I’m not trying nothing you don’t know what that’s going to lead to so you don’t have to I don’t have to lie about that if I did it I would tell you but what I seen with these eyes it wasn’t a movie it wasn’t a documentary the [ __ ] was happening in real time so I know I got to a little bit of the personal [ __ ] but I was just saying that I think that we grew up a lot faster as New Yorkers like because I want to just say Harlem Brooklyn Bronx Queens Etc during them early 80s mid 80s to the 90s a lot faster than other people but as far as team us say is concerned they promised him a lot of [ __ ] uh told him they going to do a lot of favors Etc he became a citizen in France a few years ago shout out to Bor di he’s running Team France out there and to be honest I was doing my due diligence about this topic he’s never lived in France and last time and I don’t know about this Olympics when he was going to play for Cameron possibly they didn’t qualify to go to the Olympics so I’m not sure if they qualified this this um go around but last year they didn’t even qualify so you never lived in France Cameroon didn’t uh qualify and what he said what ultimately ultimately made his decision is that his son is American and he said that I have an American son and he probably wouldn’t understand why I’m not playing for America because all he knows is really America now I’m not saying don’t take him back to know y root so on and so forth but at the end of the day he feels Joel andb when I was reading uh that he more American than anything else he went to school in Florida the floridans and high school then he went to Kentucky then he’s in the NBA so um that may that may be part of his decision that was just my take on it so as far as what you said about you know him coming off the plane and people saying sell out like and all the booze and stuff so he did respond to that he said I don’t think it should be anything but if it’s more than that I embrace it I don’t think you can get worse than playing in New York in the playoffs I how do y’all feel about his logic I I think he’s right about that if you that’s why they say if you can make it there you can make it anywhere because the scrutiny you have to you have to be numb to pause is is insurmountable as the word like you have your skin have to be tougher than tough pause to make it out of New York because you have to you have to meet struggle you have to meet challenges on every road so I think every person not just myself any person that has ever made it from New York is extremely extremely special because like killer said and these are just the stories we know about we don’t even know the stories about killer or myself or anybody else that we haven’t even gotten to those stories you know what I’m saying so when you make it you really made it cuz you you really can make it anywhere else cuz nobody’s going to hate on you like new York nobody’s going to make your road tough like New York and nobody’s going to forget your success imagine you were successful yesterday and tonight you know a person act like you did nothing you know what I’m saying you got to be ready for that you got to always be ready to reproduce it always be willing to um show people that I really belong and I think that’s what he meant when he said he he can handle everything in New York cuz one day they’ll be like Joel and be we want you in New York then the next one they be like I hope you die Joel it happens that fast they call it a New York minute yeah um look man one thing about me uh me personally when I played basketball like at a high level I like the WE Games better than home games just me I I Like the Way games way better than home and not saying I didn’t appreciate the home crowd of course you do but it was nothing more exciting to me than shutting down a gymnasium or Arena wherever you playing with your play when they all hating on you and then you hit the shot and just look at them [ __ ] I love that that was my favorite because one thing you could do is even like with Joe and be in the playoffs against the Knicks like you said make y boo Bo and you hit the shot in the whole Arena like oh man man I love that Kobe and think about this just sticking on New York and the Madison Square guard not necessarily the bar that’s fairly new it used to be a time where and it’s not as much as it is before I think the uh The Nostalgia of it even like the allstar game anywh it used to be but it was a time where opposing players used to get hyped to come to the Gard just to embarrass [ __ ] Michael Jordan with the 45 on Michael Jordan anytime matter of fact 50 50 points 63 yeah Kobe Bryant come and score 50 then LeBron come the next few games later and score 60 Steph Curry comes in there scores 55 points it it time [ __ ] used to mark down Madison Square Garden and say I’m coming to the Mecca and say I need to embarrass [ __ ] um so yeah we have a crazy fan base when it comes to basketball and the thing about it is just giv out people outside of New York just some of the landscaping around New York the Mets and queens the Yankees are in the Bronx the Giants and jets are in Jersey this is the middle of Manhattan this is down the block from Time Square this is R so when [ __ ] say to Mecca you really in the heart of Manhattan which when y’all when for people who don’t know New York that well know all them lights you be seeing and Time Square that’s where the garden is a few blocks from there so when you come there and play it was a big deal so yeah um I think Joe lmb likeed that and he said he’ll embrace it but uh as far as him saying people hating on them as far as uh cameroonians or people from France or whatever what you GNA do man you can’t do nothing about that you know people are going to talk they going to say what they going to say what are he supposed to say I’m sorry I you know all he could do do is say he’s sorry to his original country but he playing basketball at this time or even imagine 10 years ago when he are in the league it wasn’t where the NBA is at this is why we have so many foreign players in the NBA is because it’s the number one basketball league in the world you think a lot of these players would would not stay home if they could make the money that they make in America in their country not saying you don’t want to play against the top players in the world but you ever we watched the joker last year win the championship and didn’t want to stay for the parades yeah I gotta get back what you mean parading three days he’s like oh [ __ ] all that [ __ ] you know what I’m saying [ __ ] want to get back home I don’t know this for a fact but I bet you I’ll be willing to ask my [ __ ] sham and I bet you Ain am of money when Dallas lost that Luca was on the flight 16 18 hours later back to his home country [ __ ] Miss home people always love where they come from but you got to go to work okay and then we got to talk about this USA Basketball showcase versus Canada that happened last night USA won 86-72 but from what we’ve seen are you guys feeling confident in team USA’s roster um looking looking at the um outcome of this game I would say this though they beat Canada right they didn’t beat Canada with Edy I think I think we really are not going to see what the US has until they’re playing against somebody with bigs with with bigs talented bigs pause you know somebody that can impose their will on this USA team because it’s it’s very talented around the wings is very in talented around the perimeter but when you and and is talented when you think about baming him but I want I’m thinking about somebody 7t 72 um 73 when you start getting into that range of height then it’s going to impose a whole different Dynamic and I I can’t really count this when because um Canada didn’t have everybody they supposed to have so I think even with them being as close it was a problem for me I think it should have been a super blowout pause because they didn’t have they didn’t have the bigs that were really talented if you put Edy in the middle of that team and then you show up again with Murray and SGA and all of them that that could have been a much closer game so I I can’t really look at that as a success just yet look like we we started the show with this Antman was looking like the number one option uh like he said like I said I I never said he wasn’t I just said he shouldn’t have said it uh with the team um Jason Tatum looked really good I missed the fourth quarter so I can’t see who finished fin off the game strong but USA was down the first quarter and then when they put Anthony Edwards and Jason Tatum in it’s really those two barded back LeBron had a key a key block when I seen it um Kevin Durant didn’t play either uh chemistry we gotta see now now um kawai’s not playing they’re bringing in darkk white this thing is running is going it’s coming up quick pause the [ __ ] start the 20 six the Olympics they got to get it together or forget it forever that’s just that that’s that’s what I have to say about that man uh we don’t have a lot of time to figure this things out ladies and gentlemen and even though they won which they needed to win being that they lost last time this was a very important game to make a statement to win uh I don’t think everybody was in sync including Canada Canada they have an NBA team they start five is in the NBA so you got an NBA team playing against the NBA team um I can’t judge the USA off of this particular game it didn’t look that good to me like I said I missed the fourth quarter so it looked like they may have pulled away I when I was watching it before I stopped watching it last night CU I had some things to do they were up six in the third six seven didn’t look that imp impressive to me but at the end of the day uh we’ll see because as much as I like Canada M made a great Point ain’t playing against wimy you ain’t playing against [ __ ] Rudy go you’re not gonna play against the six 10 61 Russians and everybody else just coming out this tall that was Team USA problem last time they didn’t have height they only had bam and and uh wasn’t no Joe andb there wasn’t no Anthony Davis well they survived the test of town cuz at the end of the day Joker we see what he been doing everybody on Team USA that’s a big Joe lmbb he he plays good against the Joker in Philly but what do he do he don’t go to Denver he don’t when it’s time to go to De he’s hurt he doesn’t play he can’t he he’ll play a good game in Philly because you know they ain’t play twice a year I ain’t going to play in Denver I got Ms already yeah Anthony Davis Rich Paul just ran out of here he want to talk about that no disrespect Anthony day off you know we be [ __ ] with you on the show but what it is what it is [ __ ] a joker yeah what he’s like 11 and one in the last 12 games something like that [ __ ] be smiling while Joker hting three yeah you know what I’m saying that [ __ ] nice yeah bam adab Bayou then we beat them in the championship right The Bigs and I’m and we’re not talking about about any other country we’re just talking about if you’re run into the Joker and we’re talking about the three bigs PA that the Team USA have joelan beid is good I think Jo I think that Jo I think the Joker is not paying Anthony Davis no mind I think he’s not paying bam out of buy Omar I think he be like yeah now [ __ ] you can’t run Joe lmbi I’ve been waiting to get it you for a minute anyway you can duck this smoke and I’m not saying Joe &b won’t get off but we have to think about his debut last night he fouled out with 12 minutes his debut stunk now I don’t know if it’s lingering over from the injuries that he just uh got over yeah but that that that was a terrible youth CL Team USA debut you played 12 minutes and fouled out that’s not GNA cut it it’s definitely not going to cut it and for m is saying they didn’t even have their big man so I don’t know so so on that note you guys feel confident or no this that’s the final as far as Team USA yes I told well I’ll go for I told [ __ ] I wasn’t confident I told [ __ ] this two days when you ask I said it is not a foregoing conclusion that Team USA will win this do I want them to win absolutely I’m a [ __ ] American yes I want them to win but Kawai going out Derek white not Derek white subing in Jaylen Brown doing a rock Emoji one eyebrow up with the glasses and [ __ ] uh Grant Hill already talking about Nike is mad he wore feli [ __ ] is talking about Steve cage trying to break break uh Boston up you got three Boston players that’s not Jaylen Brown I don’t know I’m not gonna say here and say it’s a foro conclusion because you got to realize it’s teams outside of Canada I’m talking about that’s been playing together with their national team for years they played together for years so like for instance you got Players let’s just use Luca country for example that may not make the NBA but they done nice they like you ready [ __ ] yeah this your time to show this your time CU now what they gonna do is luk over there killing them and I kill Luca n I’m going to NBA this year eyes is on us you know what I’m saying you got [ __ ] that’s exactly when this where they make their name right so you got players that’s now saying the world is watching this is my opportunity to think to bust whoever ass they think is the best and it’s almost like Rocky 3 now I know stat didn’t see Rocky 3 but said that you seen Rocky 3 no I know you you got to get your movies up St list I ain’t even Rocky 3 was in the 80s I ain’t going I was I was six when Rocky 3 came out of seven but the the more the story is I’ll give you a quick synopsis of Rocky 3 Rocky was the champion he was that [ __ ] and he had a tough fight against some [ __ ] who used to train in the basement when you see this [ __ ] Mr T he’s in the basement sweating with basically two weights lifting him up Rocky training in a mall literally they had a boxing ring in the mall he giving girls kisses hugs and he got the dog [ __ ] beat out of him for being all nice and humble and [ __ ] is in the basement trying to take your spot and I think LeBron James is aware of that and probably a few other players but you can’t get caught up in a moment of just being happy to be there if you’re the younger players I’m nervous you said they the gold of I’m saying but this the I think they might have jinxed themselves not putting jayen Brown on a team and then not this is just not a jayen brown thing for me pause when you think about it even KD is looking injured so if KD doesn’t play this is a different team they don’t this team is not as scary as it looked on paper before because but you take KD out and now you take Ka you know you still got what you got but if something happened to one of those pieces any little thing you you don’t really have enough to bring back the goal I can 100% say that something happen LeBron need the rest they don’t bring back the goat Ant-Man fahti and in in France they don’t bring back to Paris yeah shout out to man I’m just playing with you they need KD though yeah they definitely need KD you ain’t lying yeah they need ktie this is probably why Jaylen Brown is sitting there sick because he has every reason to feel some type away when everything else is going on around and take that headband off of book I forgot book was on his team yo I said is this Klay Thompson Klay Thompson is on the USA team they’re like n that’s book book take that head been off man go crazy man okay well in the comments below let us know how you guys feel about Team USA but that is all the time that we have for today thanks for watching and as always it is what it is for
