[A]

Got cat Mike.

[G]

First and foremost.

[C]

Oh, he got on a denim outfit. I thought that was a ghee.

[G]

Homie got on the club 15.

[E]

Dude like he going to the club. Nikes is fire tight ass pants.

[A]

Huh?

[G]

The all white baptismal fit. I ain't never seen the ref pop in a fight like this.

[E]

Why he do that? Why he do that?

[G]

I have no clue. But this makes it funny.

[C]

I thought they sure said the real security.

[E]

Nah, bro, you can't just jump me in this ring for no reason.

[G]

First off, buddy, hooping in an all white dinner fit. And it couldn't cut on the skinny jeans fight. I don't know what weight class, what sanction this is, but I've never seen a referee jump in a fight like that, bro.

[E]

That was crazy, bro.

[G]

The fix is in, bro. He took it all under the fight.

[E]

I'm gonna shoot you after this, bro. What's going on?

[C]

That had to be some type of joke. Well, that's not real, bro.

[G]

Nah, the punches were the joke.

[C]

I'm talking, bro. A wrestling fighting in a denim outfit, bro. That's not no. That's not no real match.

[G]

He had the jacket up, too. You ever try to put somebody in the jacket?

[C]

Yeah, bro, that looks crazy.

[A]

That's how Fat Joe used to dress on that one guy.

[G]

The worst person. Again, he was a cheater, bro. You cannot Joe in that game, bro. Man, cheater for sure. I used to hate playing against him. He was a boss of all boss on that game. All right, man. Our guy be hearing Quinn Grimes, y'.

[C]

All speak on it. Y' all always talking about this.

[G]

Came to terms with the 76 yesterday. One year, $8.7 million qualifying offer. Know what I'm saying? He gonna test the market next year. Now, I just noted that they the Sixers, who are, I think are out of pocket for offer him extra 100 grams to wave his no trade clause. He said nah, don't offer me 100 grand, man.

[C]

It'd be great.

[G]

Something like that. 100 grand. NBA terms are disrespectful, man.

[C]

Be grateful you got that goddamn contract, bro.

[A]

He should have signed that deal. Cause I think the Sixers are going to be healthy this year. I'm expecting a little better production from Paul George. I know Jerry McCain is out with a little injury already, but Tyrese Max is going to be at full strength. And one thing about the Sixers, they play a team. They play you 38 minutes. Nick Nurse, he'll play. He'll play his guys 38 minutes. So you could be battling for some time. Especially with VJ Young. VJ in there.

[G]

Yeah, he gotta get some Ms. Vijay Edgecom for sure.

[C]

Yeah, bro.

[G]

Justin Edwards, who high promised mooc speak on a lot as well.

[E]

You don't think he kind of solidified his spot a little bit though?

[A]

No. Everybody was hurt. Like you might get a chance. They might like you. You on a one year deal.

[C]

He showed he could hoop.

[A]

You're a rental.

[E]

But he been showing he can hoop. This ain't his first rodeo.

[C]

But I'm saying though, like I don't expect he's in the NBA. Cool. But I got a rookie and BJ Edge comb that I have more marbles in than you.

[G]

Yeah, understandable.

[C]

Jerry McCain. Tyrese Maxey and like bro just said if Paul George come back to 75, 8% is quiet for any. For any shots you getting up.

[A]

And I'm really invested in them other guys, man. They young, they rookies.

[E]

Yeah, that was a good deal for him. He is like last year was like fool's gold. You're not about to do that again. You're not gonna get all them shots. That was a good deal.

[A]

That was under 10 a year almost.

[E]

For the kind of player he is.

[C]

That's it.

[G]

Nah, allegedly he wanted around 30. But then you know what I'm saying? No, I could do it 20, 25. So that when they offer that deal, he like I disrespect him. I said at least 20. That was a discount. He let your 40. A four year 40 ain't enough.

[E]

Y' all didn't gassed him up, boy.

[A]

Yeah, I think he could have.

[C]

Every time I think he could have.

[A]

Got a four year 44. Four year.

[G]

Yeah. Even if he would have got a.

[A]

Four year 60, I ain't mad. I mean it's a lot for him. But just to see some of the guys, I don't just think they. I don't think they that invested, bro.

[C]

Yeah, they did not.

[G]

So let's look at this from two different angles. Do y' all think they go out and let him get buckets and use them as a trade piece?

[A]

Man, he's not about to get.

[C]

But how the hell are they gonna pay him $30 million a year and got years, bro.

[A]

Me ain't about to go.

[C]

That's all I'm saying. I always talk about money on the team. How can we Pay Queen Grimes $30 million?

[G]

They can't pay 15B here, not with all the money they invested.

[C]

They got 30. That's crazy, bro. 30 a year. And you kind of demanded that like. Well, the negotiations weren't really working out in my favor.

[G]

That contract situation is insane.

[E]

Look, you got Joel only 30, but I take 25.

[G]

I'm trying to show Little I ain't tapping in and being 55m. Paul George, 51m's. Tyrese Ma, 37m's. After that, BJ Edgecomb gets 11, and then it goes down from there in the single digits for sure.

[A]

I mean, he could have got 10, 12. I wouldn't have been mad if he had 12.

[E]

That would have been cool for him, bro.

[C]

Sixers offer. What that say? 40 million? 39. 40 million.

[A]

Damn.

[C]

Ain't no counter. We taking that.

[G]

All right.

[A]

I would have took it. Going through all you've been through, you've never been a real starter. You always been, like, coming off the bench. You've been trade bait for a lot of teams. You're a quality player. You've been a glue guy. Sometimes you just gotta solidify that bag.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

They can all go to this year.

[C]

Yeah. And your future is kind of. See you at the next four years. I can figure some stuff out. You know what I'm saying?

[A]

A three year deal. I don't know. Basically, it's out here.

[E]

If his teammates is healthy, he.

[G]

He's.

[C]

Yeah, but I'm not gambling on myself. I'm not gambling on myself, and I'm on this type of team now. If I was on the Brooklyn Nets, I'm gonna go back to the. Come back to the table. But I'm with all these young killers. Don't let VH VJs come have a moment. Oh, Lord.

[A]

But what's beautiful about this scene. Damn. Paul George getting 50 million a year. That's beautiful.

[G]

Go.

[A]

They gonna be hurt.

[E]

That's what I'm saying.

[A]

So he. He might win again.

[C]

I'm rooting for him. I'm just saying it's kind of tough, like to ask for that kind of money with this type of tip.

[A]

If I'm his agent, I'm looking. I'm.

[C]

Y' all banking on these niggas to get hurt.

[A]

It's a. It's almost a good chance that Paul George gonna get hurt.

[C]

I ain't doing nothing.

[A]

You gonna play killer. It is.

[E]

It's a good chance. But if he don't, y' all gonna.

[G]

Be mad at me.

[A]

The season. It's a good chance.

[G]

Yeah. Cause they. They are looking forward to next year. A lot of teams have more money going to free agency. They're just like, well, we hope you get there. Yeah.

[A]

They probably work out a deal in the middle of the year. Cause Paul George, he gonna sit out, bro.

[C]

Nah, bro.

[E]

I think he got Philip.

[G]

I want.

[A]

Bro. I think he had something to prove last year, bro.

[G]

When I started, bro, I was averaging 23. Y' all see what I get. The minutes I cooked tap in.

[A]

When he signed that big deal, he wanted to prove something like, I deserve my money.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

But I think a lot of people overlooking him. They talking about the podcast. I feel like he. He gonna come out swinging.

[A]

Yeah. I'm not saying that he can't hoop. I'm saying I just don't think he's.

[C]

Talking about his health.

[A]

Yeah. Like injuries, bro.

[C]

I see Paul George playing 60 games.

[A]

But then he had surgery in the summer.

[G]

Oh, yeah. Recently.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

60 games for Paul George this year, bro.

[G]

Well, the important part, we should say, is how many games wouldn't be played, because that's going to determine how your games PG plays.

[E]

It's starting off bad already. Don't know he gonna play.

[A]

And B got about 30.

[E]

McCain hurt. McCain already hurt.

[C]

McCain will be back.

[E]

I'm just saying it's starting off.

[G]

They already hurt.

[E]

We ain't even started hooping yet.

[A]

NB got about 30. 28. 30 games.

[G]

Yeah.

[C]

And B out of 82. Jesus.

[G]

Now look at this report. And B practiced quite a bit in pract this Saturday. What's today? Thursday. They have a game tonight. Right. Overseas. It gets. Come on, man.

[C]

I stay in Philly.

[G]

Now he was talking. I'm sliding there.

[E]

No way in hell he better ever touch a preseason game?

[C]

No, I wouldn't even travel with the team. That's a. That's a gamble.

[A]

His knee might swell up. His KN swelled up on the plane.

[C]

I don't know what that air like it at other. I'm going playing right away, bro.

[G]

Ain't no way MV out 20.

[C]

Sit down.

[A]

Swelled up on the plan.

[G]

And obviously we joking, man. We wish the best of help to these guys, but, man, the track record with this team could be a little bit chaotic. But let's just hypothetical reasons, right? If everybody stays healthy, be here, could they possibly make a run in the east this year? I know the east they are.

[C]

Yes, bro. That's A, they have a great team. Fully healthy. That's a great team, bro. Out east for sure. They can compete for a playoff spot. Absolutely.

[G]

And B, healthy.

[C]

Paul George, healthy. They cold. Tyrese Maxey. That's a fire. 3.

[A]

How many games you put together for all three of them playing?

[C]

Ooh, 60.

[A]

You think all three 60 games this year together?

[G]

Like, come on, like 20. 20, 20? Or as a triplet, all everybody at the same time?

[C]

I. I don't know. Maybe I'm a little slow, y'.

[G]

All.

[C]

I keep saying 60. I don't know what else y' all want me. You think all I'm trying to understand my part. Help me out.

[G]

Can we try to understand why you think they gonna play 60 games? Play 60 games this year?

[C]

Yes, bro. Whoa, now, see, no, no, let that. Let that be me. He be grilling me the whole show. What you say, big fella? What you say? Big fe.

[G]

Good.

[C]

Jesus Christ. That was.

[G]

That was a sin. Oh, my God.

[C]

No, for real, brother. Honestly, we can, you know, shout out.

[G]

To her a thousand slash.

[C]

Listen, this is our. This is our first crash out for Hard Rock. MB.

[G]

We can't even say the best.

[A]

Part because it sound funny.

[C]

Hard Rock. No, shout out to Hard Rock. We appreciate y', all, but Tyrese, Maxi, Paul, George and Be2 play 60 games this year combined. Hard Rock set that up, man. However y' all do y' all thing, set it up so we can lock in with that.

[A]

I'm taking the under under.

[E]

Oh, man, he ain't playing 60 games, bro.

[A]

No way.

[G]

He about to be in his quadruple going forward, boy, just play 30 regular season games.

T Row.

[G]

Yeah, he can hoop Hero out. Beat him, Alex. All right. Moot. Could they be a top five team in the east if they had Tyler Hero?

[E]

I ain't saying that without Tyler Hero.

[G]

Okay, but what the hell did Tyler Hero.

[E]

I think they had a shot. Oh, he ain't got that much, bro. They got a shot.

[G]

Shout out to Bam. Seen some reports out there. They said that the Hornets, you know what I'm saying, might be inquiring about Bam out of bio. I don't know how that will work, but maybe a trade situation or they.

[A]

Gonna trade for Bam.

[G]

Yeah, that has been amazing. What I've seen From that they said Miles Bridges, even some picks, maybe Bill.

[C]

Brandon Miller, whoever get Bam, that's a steal because you ain't about to get.

[A]

He's from Carolina, too, ain't he?

[E]

Think so.

[A]

Yeah, he.

[C]

He's way better than anybody that they about to trade for him.

[G]

The mellow and bad news.

[C]

Something to be him, that's what.

[G]

Nah, I'm talking about them together, picking rose swag.

[C]

[C]

Shout out to Triple J. San Antonio made some shake that we didn't think it ever could shake. So you never know. I think.

[G]

So.

[E]

Bam a little. He better than Jaren Jackson. But that they'll be the same team, bro.

[A]

No, we're saying if he kept Jerry Jackson.

[E]

Oh, they don't. They ain't gonna be able to do that.

[C]

That'd be silly.

[A]

[E]

Yes, they would, bro.

[C]

John will be silly, bro. I'm telling you.

[A]

Yeah, it's a little bit different.

[E]

Be a little different, a little better. But it wouldn't be right.

[C]

And he, like, actually can play on the wing better than Jaren Jackson.

[E]

They'd be a better. A little bit better, but it wouldn't make a big difference, bro.

[G]

Hey, this is Matt Jones and I'm Drew Franklin and this is NFL Cover Zero. We think NFL coverage should be informative and entertaining and twice a week. That is exactly what you're going to get. We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different.

[B]

Might want to go back to the Colts stadium.

[G]

Yeah, I might want to go back.

But yeah, my boy said, he said like wait real quick. But he likes to go in the season big. Whatever that mean. I was like, damn, bro, he is seven foot man.

[A]

My boy out of shape, boy.

[C]

It's the GL. When these is big with glasses, it makes you look crazy. I ain't gonna lie.

[G]

He like his pop.

[C]

When you fat with glasses.

No, when you fat with glass, bro, it make you look.

[E]

He got a good bro.

[G]

Yeah, he a little.

[E]

He a little heavy.

[A]

Duty all day.

[C]

He's. He's. Bro.

[G]

They said, hey, man, we gonna know something if AD if AD got Luca in the season, bro. Blame the Mavericks. Malpractice of the team.

[A]

Oh, oh, they do got some fire.

[G]

Food, whatever we ate.

[C]

Yeah, that, that, that facility. Shout out. What's his name that own the team?

[G]

Mark Cuban.

[C]

Yeah, Mark Cuban. Boy, he set up for sure.

[G]

Shout out to the Mavs. L kick says, Morning, fellows. Teague, have y' all ever played against any brewers from Nap?

[A]

Yeah, I think.

[G]

A little bit more description next time. Shout out to them.

[C]

Shout out to the brew. I know some brewers, but I don't hoop facts. Mike knows.

[G]

Oh, does he be here? Says, good morning, love from Somalia. My tribe has been down lately. If DJ can hit the sexy Dexie and the Ricky Rubio jersey, it'll bring us good luck. I would say something disrespectful, but shout out to my Somalian people that hold us down in Minnesota. I don't want to ruin my relationships, the general says. And be him we trust. A couple weeks ago, I told y' all I had 2 BBW lined up in an 8 piece cripsy. The shit went left and I'm getting out of hospital still about to cop some NJ and goatee time.

[C]

That's crazy, man.

[G]

Damn. Get well soon, Bali Ma says. Say, Mook, how you feeling about them trying to expand the NCAA tournament to 76 teams? Seems like overkill to me. I was gonna ask you about that. Trying to add more teams. Stop it.

[E]

That's too many. Too many teams, bro. If you can't make it, you just can't make it, bro. Everybody can't get in.

[G]

There has to be a cut off at some point.

[C]

Was it 64 now?

[G]

We don't need more, bro.

[E]

We don't need more, bro.

[A]

Trying to make more money.

[E]

I get it, bro.

[C]

Extra night, man.

[E]

That's just too many teams.

[C]

Extra night, bro. Yeah, it's just a thousand more teams.

[E]

It's going to be some weak ass teams too.

[C]

But some of the good teams should be able to make it. A lot of teams in the NCAA be getting snubbed, bro.

[G]

That's on the selection committee though, though.

[C]

I'm just saying it'd be Grambling Stay versus Duke. That's part of the tournament, bro. What I'm saying, Georgia, small team. Georgia had probably like caught on at the end of the year. Like had a good run.

[E]

Your conference, bro?

[G]

Yes, bro.

[C]

I'm nothing, bro.

[E]

I got to be Rewarded for one.

[C]

That's why I hate like I. I love shout out to my black colleges. I love but I promise when a good team and a decent team in the SEC don't make it or something like that, bro. That's kind of unfair.

[E]

Oh, it's not bro. The small teams need their opportunity too, bro.

[A]

They're never going see T play.

[C]

No, I don't want to see Nick Canon school Vers Cooper fl. Bro, that's part every year.

[E]

That's how we get Cinderella stories, bro.

[C]

No, you never get a Cinderella out of that.

[A]

Yeah, Vir lost to somebody.

[G]

Come on, Vil lost to a 16 seed.

[E]

We get Cinderella story sometime.

[C]

Yeah, I know that's once every 40 years. Y.

[G]

Well see the problem is be here that Gramble estate versus Duke is going to be Grandma slave versus North Carolina auntie and then that game.

[C]

No, that's not true. You don't want only one team from the Swag. No, it's not. You're going to pull. You're going to pull more teams from bigger conferences, bro. Maybe they're not going to keep with.

[A]

The Wake Forest going to make schools like that.

[C]

Yeah, Wake Forest will slide in there. Another Big ten school.

[G]

Why you say like that dj if you ain't going back.

[C]

I would rather see that bro than I don't know. Colgate. Get in there.

[G]

Hey, be disrespectful.

[C]

Go get your education. I'm not. I'm just. This is strictly about basketball. This is strictly about basketball, bro. I feel like cuz some kids. This is why I say that if you add that extra day like it be like Cinderella story so far as like players having moments in tournaments, bro. Sometimes might miss their opportunity, bro.

[A]

They be having he saying somebody raw from like NC State.

[C]

Yeah, a decent school could actually have a moment in the tournament, bro. And he. We just had to watch this. That is probably going back to the block after the tournament. Wasting all these tickets on him and his ghetto ass family. But it could have been another young man here. You know what I mean? Having an opportunity to run.

[G]

All right man. Let's all have fun in the chat, man. Shout out to be him, man. That legendary performance as usual. Back in the super chat this morning, Henry says sup boys? Love from the uk Me and the lies Love the show. Be him. Might be the funniest American. With that said DJ hit the ducky one time for the one time. That is crazy. Shout out to you.

Try to get a career high in points. Yes. I think that's how I'm going try to do it. Cuz I usually approach it like I'm going let my teammates get their off. Instead I'm just going to go for a career high. I Think that's how I'm.

[E]

Hey, man, he's a wild dude.

[G]

I like this energy. MVP season load, baby. You just talk to Jordan this time.

[A]

He just don't care.

[C]

[C]

I used to let them just do their thing.

[G]

He said, n. Not this season. That's funny. Training camp gonna be real different this year. Career high. What else we got for my boy, man?

[A]

Everybody got paid, so you already know.

[G]

Yeah, we good. Led out to the promise Land. That's my son. Don't really think I'm gonna be able to win defensive player of the year.

[E]

I got two of the best defenders.

[G]

On my team, so it's gonna be hard for me to win defensive play of the year. I don't want to take away from those guys, but as long as my.

[E]

Impact is there every night, I should be okay.

[G]

As long as I make an all.

[E]

Defensive team, that means something.

[G]

But defensive player of the year, probably.

[E]

Be hard for me, but MVP and championship, that's the goal.

[G]

You. You talked about old defense in the past as a goal.

[A]

It always kind of felt a little.

[G]

Bit tongue in cheek, like, is it more serious? More serious now? For sure, yeah. Because we trying to get back to the number one defense in the league. And I know it starts with.

[E]

With me, especially my pressure on the ball. Like, it can't.

[G]

I can't guard one game and not guard the next game because we playing.

[E]

You know, somebody who's not up to par.

[G]

I got to be ready every Friday. I told my teammates to hold me accountable. Coaches.

[E]

Coaches included.

[C]

Yeah, he ain't saying nothing wrong to me.

[E]

I do like that about him, though. He do try to lock up, bro. He'll guard the other team. Best player.

[A]

No, bro, he.

[G]

He cold.

[E]

Yeah, he really do be off.

[G]

And he competitive as hell too, so he gonna do it regardless.

[C]

He practice what he preached, bro. So that's why I roll with him now.

[G]

He did say something noteworthy, too. I got two killers on the defensive side of my team, too. Jamie Daniels, lock up and Rudy, perennial dpo. Y. Your wins be in n. That's your mans.

[C]

But I respect what he was saying, though. Like, he keep it real. Like, he like. But the MVP say less I'm going for that.

[G]

All right, so what's the recipe for a to get MVP this year to you? Well, he got an average.

[A]

Points wise, he already around 28 to 30. And so I imagine him averaging around there 28 to 30. He gotta be around five, six assists. But they gotta be the number one team in the West.

[C]

Damn, that's how it is.

[A]

Be the number one team in the West.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Cause you got two other killers out there with Joker, Jokic, SGA.

[A]

SGA. Yokich. So you gotta be 30 and be my boy.

[C]

Giannis on the east side.

[G]

Yeah, he gotta battle.

[A]

He's 20. What, 28.

[G]

28, 6 and 5.

[A]

He gotta have stats. He gotta have 30. And number one in the what?

[G]

Damn.

[A]

One or two in the west, bro. He can get it. He sound like he average 30, 30, 31, 32 points a game.

[G]

And we know that Joker's gonna average a triple double with about 30 anyway.

[E]

Yeah, pencil that in. That's a lot.

[A]

So he got an uphill battle, but damn.

[G]

Yeah, 32, 5 and 7.

[E]

And he shot 51% from the SGA.

[G]

And it was a race for that, cuz you know what Joker did. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead and disrespect it.

[E]

SGA not averaging no lower than 30.

[G]

30 over 30, 13 and 10. Damn. The real MVP, something slight.

[A]

So, yeah, he gonna have to be at like 38 and 5 just to be in a conversation and be number one in the West.

[G]

That's tough. Cause to be number one in the west, they're gonna Dana, have to win 60 games.

[E]

That's what you gonna have to do. That's a fact.

[G]

That's the recipe. All right, man, we can't wait to see.

[A]

Man.

[G]

Shout out to the Timberwolves. All right, man, onto the lake. Lakers. Rui, fifth start on the Lakers. That's what it's expected to be over.

[C]

I called that yesterday when I was trying to figure out the file. Y' all said that.

[E]

That makes sense to me because Marcus smart, kind of like a point guard. We already got Luke out here, so.

[C]

We don't really do that.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

And ar, so I don't really make sense. So I can see why they doing that.

[G]

How we feel about this lineup is that. Is that a solid five out West?

[A]

I'm not a fan of the old school basketball.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

It's just too slow for me, bro.

[C]

I gotta get Brody in there, man.

[E]

Man, is he gonna play this year?

[G]

Yes.

[C]

Why are you questioning that?

[E]

I mean, I ain't heard nothing about him.

[G]

He pretty squat.

[C]

He didn't have to.

[A]

I think it's the best thing for him. Nobody got him no more season two.

[G]

The pressure's off of him. The hype is gone. He could just go play basketball freely.

[A]

Yeah, Yeah. I wouldn't have wanted to get drafted by the Lakers if I was Bonnie, though.

[E]

Yeah, it's too much too. They, they covering them too much. Your dad, Lebron James already. It's just too much, bro.

[C]

But it has died down on him, man.

[A]

It has.

[C]

So he cool?

[A]

Yeah, but I'm just saying, every time he get in the game, even if he have a moment where it's he has 10 points or you just have a decent guy, it's gonna go crazy. And then next game, if he don't play or he don't have, he might go over four or something. Yeah, man, he only in the league because LeBron, when most second year players play like that, right, have up and down game years and stuff like that.

[C]

At least he's getting the opportunity.

[A]

Damn, that boy shot 31.

[C]

Give me some more shots, man.

[G]

He ain't scared to shoot.

[A]

I know. I remember my rookie year. I probably shot 28%.

[G]

See, you only get in.

[A]

You got, you got. Try to get all the shots you can.

[E]

Think he good for about 15 minutes.

[C]

Oh, he get 15 minutes, we good.

[G]

Oh, he not getting 15.

[C]

We get 15. We averaging eight.

[G]

Eight.

[A]

I shot 39.

[G]

Okay, give me eight minutes. Don't even let me play up 30, down 30.

[A]

30.

[C]

Yeah, Jeff shot 39 and 21 from the three. Yeah, it's hopeful, bro.

[A]

It is. It definitely is. I saw only play 10 minutes though, and that was. That was fugazi. Damn, I just had burner my second year.

[G]

You got hating.

[C]

That's a hell of a joke. Jump.

[A]

What?

[C]

21 to 37. You was working on your.

[G]

16.

[C]

I think it locked it to the last.

[A]

No, I probably shot one three on the ear. I probably was two for whatever.

[C]

Oh, man, Brownie get 15 minutes.

[A]

Seven for 32.

[G]

Damn.

[C]

Fly.

[G]

Yeah, that third year. Hey, 15, 16, my boy shot 275. Freeze. Turn me up.

[A]

Ain't that crazy?

[C]

They make that Steph Curry shoot that in three months.

[G]

Naked out here, right?

[A]

300 a year.

[C]

That is wild, bro.

[G]

Oh, that's crazy how times change. For sure.

[C]

Browning can average 8 though. On the Lakers though, y'.

[G]

All.

[E]

You think he average eight points if.

[C]

He get 15 minutes, he the third stream.

[G]

PG, though.

[C]

Oh, I don't know who might battle in practice, bro. It might be bumped up and we'll see, man.

[G]

Shout out to.

[A]

I hope Bronnie get an opportunity this year though.

[G]

I hope he hope too. For sure. Hey man. Netflix season two starting five. The trailer is crazy. Everybody involved in this season is going to be probably the best one they can produce because of what took place last year in the NBA for them to have sga, Halliburton, James Harden, JB and Bron and I think KD as well. First of all, just having that whole SGA season and having the whole Tyrese season single handedly is crazy as is.

[A]

That's fire.

[E]

Facts.

[C]

Catching Tyrese in that moment and SGA in that moment, that was. That's tough.

[A]

That's big.

[G]

Historic years, man. I'm definitely thirsty to watch it. I've seen the trailer a couple times. James Hart getting pulled over on the way to a game and the cop like I'm gonna be on tv. Cool, bro. Take this ticket anyway. That was kind of crazy.

[C]

Nah, that's fire.

[G]

[A]

Yeah, for sure.

[E]

Yes.

[C]

I don't think so, y'.

[G]

All. Oh, they can't lose. I don't. They have to go to the finals. Of this team getting blocked in my opinion. Yeah, they spending too much money.

[E]

So if they make the finals and not win, is it still cool?

[C]

No, that's a good question.

[A]

That's the finals. They cool.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

They gotta make the finals.

[G]

But they lose in the conference finals on some nonsense sense. Yeah, it's.

[E]

[G]

That is crazy.

[C]

Oh, Lord.

[G]

I wanna ask Jeff about this. You've obviously played a preseason game outta the country. Is it any different? Is it just more like promo for the NBA during that time period?

[A]

It's just promo.

[G]

I got you.

[A]

Yeah, just promo. It's cool, though. You get the vibe with your teammates. Y' all get a little close, especially some of the new teammates that y' all might've added.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Gotta get the vibe a little bit. Hit the streets especially. We was in China and the one time we played in London, so it was cool.

[G]

Yeah, I've seen they trying to incorporate some European basketballs and possibly even some of the NBA teams playing the NBA year old teams as well. So we shall see. Shout out to the NBA. All right. Thursday Night Football. 49ers and Rams. What's up with the team? How you feeling? Both of y'. All three in one. Brock party, y'. All. Still other key players out. Mac Jones get a start. Rams have put belts y' all last three times. What's up?

[G]

Yeah, it's a short week for the Rams. Well, I guess for both y', all, obviously, but. Yeah, what's up, man?

[A]

I'm a betting man. I'm gonna take the Rams even though I'm a 49ers fan. I got the Rams bet on Hard Rock. Yeah, take the Rams on this one, fellas.

Some more notable games in the NFL this weekend since we won't be here to talk about it. The Vikings and Browns live in London. Dylan Gable getting his first start, man. Shadora. They asked him how he felt about it.

[C]

Fact that he got a tr. First and foremost, though, I be shitty. Gotta go to lo to put on the headset.

[G]

Pre vacation. Rich Ron was talking about Shador earlier this week. Standing coach. All right.

[E]

But why the hell isn't he putting Shador Sanders?

[G]

We're all waiting to see this Shador Sanders be the guy or. Or Gabriel, whatever. Something's missing. Something's missing with this kid. This kid Tox. He runs his mouth like he. He's a. I could be a starting quarterback with his arms crossed like this. Get your ass in the front row and study and do all that. If I know the whole league knows. Quit being an embarrassment. That way you got the talent to be the quarterback. You should be. You should be embarrassed that you're not the quarterback. Now see if they make a change there a change was made. And this was his response to Rex Ryan and to the media when that as my felt about Dylan Gabriel starting though. No, your phone is not broke. He's doing sign language.

[C]

Ass over this. But I ain't mad at him.

[E]

The front of his bra is irritating.

[A]

Go get that knocked down.

[G]

P. They say he got fresh braids with no cut.

[C]

That's how Shabar Bo was that tall movie. No girl.

[G]

Now Internet is petty because they said he took T meme class awake the mom class.

[A]

Shout out to him.

[G]

Hey, Moog said it perfectly. I can't talk. If I do talk, get trouble. I don't talk, get trouble.

[C]

That might be the worst rookie season ever, bro. For a player.

[E]

Yeah, they just messing with him too much. But what happens if he go out here, Gabriel and plays terrible? They gonna put Flack over second.

[G]

Yes.

[A]

He's.

[G]

He's a backup quarterback.

[C]

Order, bro.

[E]

This is disrespect.

[G]

1, 2, 3, dep chart.

[E]

This is crazy, bro. Give him a chance, bro. He obviously can play football, bro.

[C]

Give him. That's what I'm saying. Like he ain't that bad of a.

[G]

Football player where he can't get no type of opportunity. And respectfully, y' all all the Browns too. Let's all things considered.

[C]

But they acting like they just let him in the NFL.

[E]

He the reason.

[C]

He the reason, bro.

[G]

All right. All right, man. Let's hop back in super chat this morning. Humble says who's the best white athlete ever? I think it's CMC.

[E]

Damn.

[C]

Who the is that?

[G]

Christian McAffrey. Oh, no.

[C]

There's plenty other white boys over him.

[G]

Respect.

[C]

Give me Mike Allstar.

[G]

Give me the big 40.

[E]

Keep the 40, Mike. Ally.

[G]

Hey, you know the vibe. All right. Aaron in super chat says, loving the po boys. It's been dope watching y' all grow. Dj all you got to do is show us that Teague time snap. You got to hit 1 million. Watch him out. What the Clifton Freeman says abd they keep asking DJ D cuz he look like dressing from the five. That was funny. Good dress break down. Oh, that was my favorite movie. That's a classic. That was funny. I swear. That was funny. Good says my little cuz wanted to be a hot dog for Halloween. I cuss. Cuss that boy out. We on te time. We ain't raising no freaky mic face. Damn, that was funny. He can't find about it all day. He said, hold on. We doing think that was funny, bro. All right. Serious question for Jeff. Would you consider being a college coach? In the right situation? You are relatable to young kids because you can give constructual criticism without sounding like a hater.

[A]

Yeah, that'll be cool, but I'm having fun doing this right now.

[G]

So KDA in the super chat says, with the west being asle as it is, do y' all think the Nuggets have what it takes to get through or what are they missing?

[A]

They took the champs to seven last year and they got. They. They made a better roster this year. I think they really the favorites in the west, if you be honest. I mean, I know OKC defending champs, but yeah, I think they got the best player in the league with Yoko, and I think they revamped that roster a little bit. They really my favorites in the west, to be honest.

[G]

Yeah, they get Bruce Brown back, you get another shooter back on that team as well. And Tim Hardaway, who's a really good catch and shoot player. You get Cam Johnson, who is a hell of a player and a defender as well.

[E]

I think them two gonna thrive playing with Joker. All the open threes they about to get.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Cause Tim Hardaway really got a burner.

[A]

And Cam Johnson one of the best cutters any can shoot.

[G]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

It's about to be.

[G]

And a sleepy pickup for them is they needed some help for backup. Big getting Jonas Valachunas. I think that's going to be solid. Peyton Watson has been a solid defender for them. Christian Braun has grown. They got a squad man, Julius tr. They got a lot of faith in him as well.

[C]

They deep.

[A]

The only thing, Jonas didn't even want to play for real. He tried to go back to the crib.

[C]

Yeah.

[G]

And you see how they. They fixed that real quick. They said n big dog tap in.

[A]

Yeah.
