Man, we got a full house this morning. We got Lou, we got Mook, we got T, we got Bishop. Fellas, good morning. How y' all doing?
Lou
What's happening Brother, bro.
Mook
What's going on with it? Hey, man, first things first, man. Before we get to today's episode 15 year anniversary of LeBron James going to that boys and girls club and telling everybody in the world he was taking his talents to south beach, man. Do y' all remember where y' all was when that happened, man? Do y' all remember that historic moment in basketball?
Lou
I remember the moment. I don't remember where I was, though.
T
I was probably at the crib or something. I can't remember.
D.J. Wells
I don't remember where I was at either. That wasn't really that historic to me.
Mook
Damn.
D.J. Wells
Damn.
Mook
I. I like the world, you're saying.
Lou
I mean, I would. Jeff. I liked it more when them got on stage and said, not one.
Mook
Yeah, that's memorable to me.
Lou
It got their ass.
Mook
My favorite part about it is when papa got on the float, he was like. When he started mocking him, that was hilarious, bro. I just remember that Boys and Girls Club. LeBron had that button up on and pissed the whole world off, bro. Everybody's reaction was like, what?
Lou
Yeah, yeah. But he wasn't the first to do it. I don't know. I guess it's because it's just Brian, though.
D.J. Wells
I. I knew they was already about to do something like that. Like, because you having a press conference. Like, if he was going back to Cleveland, he would have been like, I'm going back to Cleveland. So when he did all that, I was like, oh, he leaving.
T
Yeah, boys didn't know stuff like that. It's just. It was nobody in that caliber.
Lou
And Bosh kind of low key said it when they was at the USA too. Like we tried to link up when they were showing the behind the scenes footage too, but ye.
T
Yeah, they said that was supposed to be mellow instead of Chris Bosh. That would have been silly.
Lou
Damn.
D.J. Wells
Mellow Said, I ain't doing that.
T
He didn't want to be Chris.
Lou
I honestly thought they was going to go to Chicago at first.
Mook
Yeah, I know. That was some speculation as well. But just that moment is crazy. It's like, dang. LeBron really told the world. Yeah, it's up now. And them Cleveland fans was hurt.
T
I'm going to play with D Wad. That's crazy.
Lou
Yeah, he. He said that. City in shambles, though.
D.J. Wells
I guess it was a big moment. I just knew that he was leaving. Cuz, like, if you was going back to Cleveland, you wouldn't have had no press conference. Yeah, like that would have looked stupid. Like, yeah, I'm staying with Cleveland. Oh, okay, you knew all this waste.
Mook
Everybody time for this first conference, but that's it. That was funny, man. Shout out to the moments. It's crazy because LeBron is still playing, bro. In that time period, a lot of people have came with and LeBron is still killing. Shout out to Brian.
D.J. Wells
Man, that is crazy, though. They still playing.
Mook
Yeah, at a high level, too.
D.J. Wells
I've came and went and he's still playing.
T
He averaged 25.
Lou
That was like, yo, what second year in the NBA when he did that? Literally.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, that was my second year, bro.
Lou
They got in, got his, got out of there.
Mook
And it's not like you had like a normal NBA career. My boy had a real healthy NBA career people dream of and brought. Still killing.
T
He's hooping with his son.
D.J. Wells
That's enough said.
Mook
Not for sure, man.
D.J. Wells
Like, it's amazing that Chris Paul is still hooping.
Mook
Yeah, yeah.
D.J. Wells
Like, Chris Paul hooping and Brian hooping's a little different, but it's just like, damn, he's still.
T
Yeah, Chris Paul is amazing. He's six foot.
D.J. Wells

Mook
Nah, for sure, man. So I just probably. Who made a dream out of this, man? Longevity it is not to be joke. With that's respect, bro.
D.J. Wells
Like, C.P. doing that six foot is crazy.

Good.
Mook

T
He was crazy.
D.J. Wells
He was the best player in the league. And it was like, I know longevity is dope, and he'd be able to transcend generations or whatever, but damn, man, I don't want my memories to be like that.

Mook
Gotta go to 05.
D.J. Wells
You know what I mean?
Lou
Like, nah, for sure.
D.J. Wells
That's the only thing I don't want our legends to ever be like. Like, if a little kid watch LeBron right now, they'll never know that, like, LeBron James was the greatest player ever.
T
They daddy a piece of shit, bro. Put your kids up on the game.
D.J. Wells
Well, obviously, daddies are not around like that all the time.
Lou
Lord, now, this is a uncle.
D.J. Wells
I'm just saying.
Mook
I mean, we deal with kids. We deal with kids every day.
D.J. Wells
And some of these. Some of these people don't know nothing about basketball.
Mook
Home ain't home sometimes.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, like.
Lou
Well, you get a little bit of everything out of this show.
Mook
If you don't know who Chris Paul is, your daddy probably home.
D.J. Wells
That's a fact, bro.
Lou
It's a piece of. Mike ain't at home talking about Chris Paul at all.
D.J. Wells
His son. His son don't know who the hell Chris Paul is.
T
That's true. That's true.
D.J. Wells
I swear to God. You don't know who Chris Paul is?
Mook
A he.
D.J. Wells
He don't know who Chris Paul is. He can name every Kendrick Lamar song. He don't know one thing about Chris.
Mook
That's true.
T
He a soccer player than Kendrick Lamore.
Mook
Okay. He's nothing on basketball. The interesting part about this, Chris Paul's obviously waiting to sign with the team. I know there's some speculation. Say he wanted to see if he could still start into just point. He tried to start, though. I know that was some of the. No, he was like, we'll see where he get where he can fit in. You got to come off the Mitch.
T
Mc getting out of pocket, bro. We want you in the league, but chill out.
D.J. Wells
He can still start, though.
Mook
Y' all just told me he has a quality here.
D.J. Wells
Did he just say that you can.
T
Give me eight off the pond?
Mook
No. You just told me he was.
D.J. Wells
He started all last year.
T
Lost M. Come off the P. He started.
D.J. Wells
He just started all last year.
Mook
You see that? He started couple months ago, point guard, bro.
T
Not this year, bro.
D.J. Wells
They had Dear Fox.
Mook
He still started.
T
He came, then he come a little later.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, but he had him half the year. He still started. He started 82 out of 82, bro.
Lou
He's 40.
T
We don't have to come off the bench this year.
D.J. Wells
That's why I'm saying like that. You got to just go ahead.
T
I said this last year. Let him get his little tour off.
D.J. Wells
And then, bro, you know he don't gonna feel comfortable not starting. I know what kind of player CP is. He like a competitive. Like he ain't gonna be boy, I can't even see him checking in off the bench, bro.
Mook
He gonna be.
T
Oh, you're gonna see it.
D.J. Wells
He gonna come on.
Mook
Unless he got to a sad team. You got to come up.
Lou
I just started two months ago.
Mook
He can start for the buck.
Lou
Don't go there, though. Go where? You think somebody has a chance to win a championship? Chris Paul go to the Clippers, bro.
D.J. Wells
I don't even think he care about winning the championship no more.
T
Yeah, he probably don't. He won it when he was the man.
D.J. Wells
Yeah. Like he ain't one of them. Like he don't want a teague chip. Cause, boy, if he win a teague chip, this podcast gonna be lit.
T
Oh, man.
D.J. Wells
But you know what I'm gonna say a like mine, bruh. We Wake Forest legends together, bro. Only one that got a real one is Tim Duncan.
Lou
Y' all be on Nick Young ass about this.
T
He be standing on that, too.
D.J. Wells
Oh, God.
Mook
Real job.
T
The best players. But y' all couldn't win.
D.J. Wells
They should have came over here, said.
Mook
The corner, but for sure, man. But it is rumored that the Clippers are looking to add Chris Paul and Brad Bill once he is, you know, I'm saying, free from his situation in Phoenix.
D.J. Wells
Do that really add up, though? Let me just ask y' all that before we go any further. Is that, like, good move? Yeah.
Mook
I'm so Brad Bill.
T
That's a good.
D.J. Wells
You like Brad Bill and out there.
Mook
Yeah. You know, Quagga uses pto. He got that scoring punch next to James. They got a power forward and John Collins. Now, I like that roster. And they got a hell of a roster.
D.J. Wells
I don't like it.
T
You don't go average you 15, bro. 16.
D.J. Wells
I only. I'm only gonna like it if Chris Paul come.
T
Chris Paul going, too.
D.J. Wells
If Chris Paul don't come, the plays, I'm like, it's not gonna work.
Lou
Paul can't start on that team.
D.J. Wells
No. But the only thing. One thing Chris Paul do, he hold people accountable. Yeah.
Mook
Okay.
D.J. Wells
So he gonna make Bradley that second unit. When Bradley Bill come in and be the two guard, you know they gonna play him. Him and James not gonna play that longer. They're probably gonna play, like, five minutes in the first quarter. Then Brad Bill gonna come in that second unit with cp, and he gonna be the feature player, and CP gonna hold that second unit accountable and run that thing. That's when they gonna be good.
T
I love that.
Mook
But not to cut you off. You don't think Brad Bill will start on this, on this clip or something? Yeah.
D.J. Wells
He gonna start. But you know how they gonna play? They gonna take them out. He gonna take them out. Yeah, they gonna stagger the Minnesota. James can. Kawhi could do their thing or somebody gonna play with the second. It might be CP and Kawhi. It's not gonna be CP and James. No. But CP and Kawhi. CP and Brad. One of them second unit is gonna be good because of Chris Paul.
Mook
Okay?
D.J. Wells
But that's the only way it's gonna work. Now, if Chris Paul don't come or they don't make it happen with Chris Paul, that team is gonna be.
T
He won't be on the West Coast.
D.J. Wells
All right. If he might go to the Lakers. What about if you go to the Lakers?
T
I think he'll go to the Clippers, bro.
Lou
I'm with the Lakers. I like that.
T
Why they got Luca, bro.
Lou
That what he can play with Luca.
D.J. Wells
I need a second unit. They need a second unit, but somebody can play the second unit.
T
Nah, go to the Clippers, bro. I'm loving that.
Lou
Don't be. Bronnie. Back up, bro.
Mook
See, that's that. That's that.
T
He came back up, huh? Came back up, Bronnie. And we gotta let Brownie get some.
D.J. Wells
He going to the Clippers. Who?
Mook
The Clippers?
D.J. Wells
Yeah, Lopez. Yeah. Lopez, CP and whatever. Them stars. John. Yeah.
Mook
Derek Jones Jr. I like the roster. Now, we gotta get off this topic, but the most important piece they need to bring back be here. You know who they got to get back if they want to go to the promised land.
D.J. Wells
They already said he going to the Pacers.
T
Please.
Mook
No, that's not what happened.
Lou
Oh, really?
Mook
That's not what happened.
D.J. Wells
They said they signed.
Mook
I said, miss, baby.
T
He never mind.
Mook
Bring back the real.
Lou
Yeah, the comeback player of the year, bro. I told you, James, bro.
Mook
Where are they coming back from? From last season Injury, bro. Oh, y' all fry, man. We gotta move on, man. But that deal that took place yesterday, man. Shout out to the Clippers. Shout out to the Miami Heat, man. Got Norman Powell to the Heat.
D.J. Wells
What y' all feel about that?
Mook
Clippers. Kyle Anderson and Kevin Love and the Clipper. Second round pick to Utah.
D.J. Wells
What y' all feel about Norman Power going to Miami?
T
I think he finna kill. I mean, it ain't gonna make a difference. They still gonna be the same. Close to the same team. But, yeah, he finna kill.
Mook
I like John Collins and the Clippers, they need a power forward. Kawhi played a lot of minutes at the 4, and obviously, anything you can do to help Alleviate and stress from him is helpful. And he's a lot better with James. I like that a lot.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, that. That pickup was great. And he could shoot the three like. John Collins is a quality basketball player. Well, he averaged 19, 8 last year. He was on damn near a max deal. He still. I mean, still is damn near on a max deal. Like, he can hoop. When he was with the Hawks, he was killing.
Lou
Hell, yeah.
Mook
Send my boy to purgatory.
D.J. Wells
Yeah. So him to get back and play some quality basketball play with the Clippers. This is going to be a big for him. And I'm sure he up for a contract coming soon. Yeah. So he gonna hoop out John Collins, another wake Forest kid, 19th pick, just like me. So I'm rooting for him.
Mook
Yeah. And that's also the MPZ situation. You know, he went crazy beginning of the year last year, and it's about payday time. And the Clippers are looking to have, you know, since some flexibility going into the next offseason. So I think that's a big trigger why they made that move. But MPZ in Miami. How you feeling, man? Him wig and Tyler hero.
Lou
I'm supporting my guy wherever he go, man. Go out there and do your thing. Hopefully they can make it work with him. Bam and Tyler.
D.J. Wells
I like that. He gonna be more like a feature player now. And it ain't like you going to a bad city. So congratulations to him.
Mook
Great city. And you know what I'm saying, he could be that suede, oh six man on that team. Obviously, he still got wig, but he can come off the bench and shoot the ball, whatever he wants.
D.J. Wells
He gonna be a starter.
Mook
Yeah, most definitely.
T
He's starting.
Mook
Somebody gotta score a ball down there for sure.
D.J. Wells
I think they gonna play Tyler hero at the one.
Lou
Yes.
Mook
What? The three. Him, wig and mpz. You got Bam and Clearware.
T
That's kind of cool.
Mook
I ain't mad at it.
D.J. Wells
I think that's hard, bro. I think that's how that's gonna go.
Lou
Yeah.
Mook
Maybe I'll miss off the bench as you're back up one or.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, all right.
Mook
For sure, man. Shout out to Miami. We shall see. Let's hop in the super chat this morning. H1 says y' all gonna be in Vegas this weekend. If so, where can we catch y'? All? Big fan of the show, y' all. Hold it down for the truck drivers every morning. Salute. Shout out to everybody on the road, man. Be safe. We appreciate y' all tuning in, but no, we will not be in Vegas this weekend, unfortunately. We appreciate y'. All. We'll probably catch y' all next summer league, but just not this time. All right, man. Justin Love said. What up? Y' all been tapped in since the PJ Tucker episode. Just wanted to show love and support the show, even though y' all crazy as a stay. Blessed. Appreciate you, boy Dave. Appreciate you, PJ Tucker episode. If you ain't seen it, tap in one of our favorite episodes for sure. Blessed to say. Hey, I got a question for y', all, man. Is there a difference between being fearful and scared? What y' all think about that? Yes.
D.J. Wells
Yeah.
Lou
Well, fearful that she pregnant, Scared if it's mine or not. That's the best I can put it to you, brother.
Mook
Well said, Bishop.
D.J. Wells
The green leaf is definitely back.
Mook
Yes, sir. Collection play on the way. ACM075 said. Nope, not reading that one. Shout out to you. Refunded 10. We are trying to get to W. All star, sir. You are out of pocket. Yeah. Wow. RR2T said T. Would you ever get to sports market agency like Mike Miller and Ramon Sessions?
D.J. Wells
Nah, I don't want to put nobody career in my hands.
Mook
That's an interesting point. You see Mike Miller out there, he got a couple drafts, working them out, but. Yeah, I can imagine. The good of it is good. But that bad when they don't make it, you got to be the person to tell them that or be there through that.
D.J. Wells
No, you know what? Even worse, though? You gotta, like, pay kids now to be the agents first. And I ain't got. I'm not putting up no capital for y' all to fuck with me. Yeah, like, I can get y' all the best advice here. I'm gonna get y' all the game right now. That's all I can do. Cause I ain't about to give you some money to be your agent to make it on the back end. Nah. Cause that's the only way you gonna get them. They in college now, right? They need nil deals. Fuck it. I'm gonna be an agent. Here. Go 100,000. You know, sign with me, we gonna get this shit going. We're gonna work on your nil. We gonna get all this while you in college, and then hopefully you with me when you get to the league. And then I gotta pray that you get a big contract, because if I'm getting money off your rookie deal, I'm a bad agent.
T
Yeah, they get. They get agents in college now, though, don't they?
Lou
Yeah, they get a jump start on that, bro. I think Mike Miller might got Apollo Yeah, he do.
D.J. Wells
He got Apollo. He got a couple people.
Mook
Yeah, my boy cooking.
D.J. Wells
He got Jeremiah Fears, right?
Mook
Yep.
T
He eating.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, he getting. He got some Max Deal players.
Mook
Yeah, you know, we sat down with him. He talked to us. He was getting heavy into that, too, but, yeah, and Mike Miller was solid with for sure. It's definitely somebody I would definitely want to have.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, you got Window Carter, they got.
Mook
Tom Lord, Max Christian agent.
T
He really be out there working them out.
D.J. Wells
PJ Washington, Trey Jones.
T
Player.
Lou
He can really give you them tools, though.
Mook
Yeah, he got a quality roster for sure, man.
D.J. Wells
But then you gotta look at, like, a couple girls. Damn, they got football players.
Mook
Yeah. Kyler Murray. Oh, yeah, he good money.
D.J. Wells
Jabari Smith. He just got paid. Yeah, yeah.
Mook
Shout out to Liv.
D.J. Wells
Liv getting it in.
Mook
Yeah, man, shout to Mike Miller. Do your thing.
D.J. Wells
For sure, they getting it in.
Mook
If you get him doing like that, I ain't mad at you for sure. Good question. Rose said after LeBron, Steph, KD, Giannis, Luka Joker and a few others, time come to an end. Do you see true superstar status diminishing in the league's future? No. I say I feel about it, but I'll say no.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, I don't think you gotta be a. Only person that is, like, generational is probably like Wemby, but Wemby is so damn different that we can't even enjoy, like, him pulse, like, you know what I mean? He going to see Monks, he playing soccer. He's 7 5. We can't relate to this dude.
Lou
Yeah.
Mook
Nah, nah, bro.
D.J. Wells
Like, everything about Superstar, you can relate to him. The reason we love LeBron James, because we all seen LeBron James in ourselves. Like, we come from this inner city. His mama at the game with the jersey, he rocking a headband. He chilling with his homeboys. He doing getting a hummer in high school like that shit we would have did if we was him.
Mook
Yes, we.
D.J. Wells
We can't even fathom the soccer.
Lou
Y' all not kicking it with the Monks. Y' all not doing hot yoga.
Mook
And his off season been crazy. Shout out to Wimby. He doing whatever the hell he want to. I love it.
D.J. Wells
Broden went ball.
Lou
He's gonna come back insane.
Mook
My boy golden child. For real.
Lou
We're Martin with the episode Aki Rumba.
D.J. Wells
My with the Naji rumba. Dude start praying to the rocks and shit.
Mook
Like, he about to average 13, 10, and 5 blocks next year.
D.J. Wells
He about to go crazy. But I'm just saying, he gonna be a superstar, but we just can't Relate and think about basketball. We know to us it's an American sport for. We used to think it was a poor person sport. Like it was poor you could make to the league. Obviously, it's not that anymore, but we can relate to that struggle. That's why we like Anthony Edwards so much.
Mook
Yeah.
D.J. Wells
That's why we like John Moran.
Lou
Yeah.
D.J. Wells
Even though they might make some poor decisions on and off the court, it's.
Lou
Just like they still got that old school feel. So how you get into the NBA?
Mook
Yeah. Because even if you look at that like, Giannis would be a much bigger starter where he is, even though he's a global star. Imagine if he was a little bit more relatable to us.
D.J. Wells
If Giannis was from New York or from Yoke.
Lou
Low key.
Mook
One of us on the low, he, he.
D.J. Wells
He act like us wait to the world like he like, come get this chicken and I'm out. Yeah, bro, that's us. Yeah, like Indiana people.
Mook
Like, out of here, bro. Yeah. His work life balance is phenomenal. He said, bro, once the season's over, where my horse is at, you see him turn up. His horse won the race last week.
D.J. Wells
Yeah.
T
Never see him that happy when he hooping, bro.
D.J. Wells
Never.
Mook
No, bro.
T
Never see him liquor the hookah.
Lou
He jumping up and down in the club. Seven foot.
D.J. Wells
Yeah. That's some Indianapolis in a pocket tee.
Mook
With a brew in his hand, bro.
D.J. Wells
It's lit Indianapolis to the core right there. But if Giannis was from just even from Cincinnati or some, we'd be like, damn, his name wouldn't be Giannis, but he'd be like, damn, G, G, cool Cincinnati Gerald. Cool as hell.
Lou
Gerald Anderson.
D.J. Wells
You know what I'm saying, though? Like, we could relate a little more. Like Luca, when they leave, they go to Slovenia and we can't even. We don't see them 100.
Mook
Not a good question for show.
D.J. Wells
For the first time ever, we got an all women's boxing event going down in New York City. I mean, a mega event for sure, man.

Hey, so we all make mistakes, but owning up is the right thing to do. You know a Degree Cool Rush deodorant? Well last year they changed the formula and it did not go well with their fans.
Justin
Yes, Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition.
Silenia
And Degree Listen they admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4.
Justin
There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about.
Silenia
Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG degree. Cool rush for yourself.

T
That's it bro. That's all I promote.
D.J. Wells
See that's why he's a bad college analyst.
T
Promote Kentucky.
D.J. Wells
That's why he's a bad college analyst.
T
Yeah, I'm not a college analyst. I'm here to promote my school.
D.J. Wells
He is trying to be a college analyst.
T
This is bad.
Mook
He's actually our college.
T
That's what college come around right now. I'm a Kentucky fan bro.
D.J. Wells
Listen I I Here you go. I got you. Arkansas will be a quality team. They got some quality guards coming in.
Mook
Louisville going to the final four.
D.J. Wells
Louisville has a really really chance to be a special team. They got quality players. They got some veteran going. See that's hey, see that's why he.
T
Can'T do this job because little Ryan. But I would never say that but.
D.J. Wells
They do Got some quality. They got some veteran guards coming in and they got a quality freshman guard that's coming in for Louisville that could be really good.
Mook
Got the best PG in the nation's.
T
Might be good this year, bro.
Mook
He got shooters with that team now. And you got Ian Jackson.
D.J. Wells
Jackson, a proven guy that can probably score the basketball. They could be really quality team. Sleeper team. Sleeper team. They're always good. It's Purdue. They bring it back. The number one point guard the nation.
T
Yeah, they a sleeper at this point.
D.J. Wells
I mean, you don't. They don't have no quality. Like you don't know no top five freshman comes in. They don't have.
T
But you know that little point goal.
D.J. Wells
You got their point guard. They got Trey Coffee Ring coming back and they got their point.
T
I'm saying he's a household college name.
D.J. Wells
He is.
T
He gets $3 million to play basketball.
D.J. Wells
He do. But they don't have nobody else coming in that we know of. They lost Colvin. Miles Colvin to Wake Forest.
Mook
Yeah.
D.J. Wells
So to see them try to retool it again with some people that we don't know. None of these guys are on the draft boards. I promise you that.
T
Nah, hell no. But they.
D.J. Wells
But they gonna be a quality team next year and pretty sure they'll be one of the top teams in the Big ten.
Mook
Most definitely.
Lou
What? Well, I guess we'll talk college come around.
Mook
For sure.
Lou
I saved that.
Mook
Yeah. I mean, I'm looking forward to college basketball this season.
Lou
I was gonna say, do y' all know anything about you, what they doing? Because I know the whole team left.
D.J. Wells
Yeah.
Lou
They get some players or what?
D.J. Wells
They went.
T
They got like some names. Some college names. You ain't gonna know.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, they went and got a lot of guys in the portals. Mid major guys that they'd probably be solid. May it be okay.
Lou
Cause I still never heard no like that in my life. The whole team did. It's crazy.
Mook
Come on, bro.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, that. That's tough.
Mook
And that's another part of the nil too, that people don't like talking about. Yeah, it's cool when you get it, but if you ain't performing, oh, bro. You are employee now. You will get released. And you got a new coach. He got to get everything from scratch, bro.
D.J. Wells
That's a fact. That's a. That's a tough job. But every year you got to recruit your players. It's kind of like that in high school.
T
But I want to see what North Carolina gonna look like trash. That's what I think.
D.J. Wells
I Actually think they're gonna say they might be okay.
T
I just want to see.
Mook
I want to see what Duke gonna look like.
D.J. Wells
Any. Any more freshman y' all excited about.
T
Might be all right. Obviously, I want. We want to see what AJ do, but I really want to see what Peterson do at Kansas.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, Kansas. I think Kansas might be a quality. I think bringing back our boy from here. He ain't from here, but Flory. Yeah, bringing back Flory. I think that was a big pickup.
Mook
Cool. They got the nil, right?
D.J. Wells
I think might be cool this year. I think Candace gonna have a good year. I like Bryson Taylor. He gonna be a good, quality player. Yeah, Kansas is on my radar for sure.
Mook
Most definitely.
D.J. Wells
We definitely want to see AJ Though.
Mook
Yeah. Gotta see that AJ the best BYU.
D.J. Wells
Is going to be.
T
Let's see if Canon can figure something out this year.
D.J. Wells
Man, he down in Georgia, right?
T
They might be all right, too.
Mook
Georgia had some good pieces last year.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, but losing they big fella, man, he was the bright spot of that team, him going to the league.
Mook
Yeah, he's a heartbreaker.
D.J. Wells
Yeah.
Lou
Didn't be. Why you get another, like, top 10 recruit?
D.J. Wells
They got that other guy.
Mook
He ain't top 10, but he a five star.
Lou
Yeah. Five star.
Mook
BYU gonna be solid next year.
D.J. Wells
Yeah. I mean, they was good last year. I mean, he did a great job with that team last year, so I'd be excited to see what they do this year. You know, they gonna have some 28 year olds on their team, you know, for sure.
T
With burners.
D.J. Wells
Yeah.
Mook
Come on, man. Fresh off the trip from the Christians.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, I think they. Never mind.
Mook
I know.
D.J. Wells
Yeah. Okay.
Mook
Just like Ryan.
D.J. Wells
All right.
Mook
Juice in the super chat said Katie is not a better score than Kobe has no 60 point caves. That Kobe was more relentless on both ends. Balls 12 all defensive tees to Katie N. Post game shot maker, who was more explosive. 81.6 field goal percentage. Respect you Kobe fans. I love y', all, but y' all do too much, bro. We. Kobe is great. We acknowledge him. He's a top three, top five player of all time, bro. But is he a better scorer than Kevin Durant? I'm not gonna say special take.
Lou
I like when y' all break it down like that. I'm. I'm cool with you.
D.J. Wells
N. There's no right or wrong, but Kobe Bryant literally said he's the only person I could never figure out that was out of Kobe Bryant's mouth.
Lou
Yeah, it's out there for you to watch.
D.J. Wells
Yeah. He said I could not Figure out Kevin Durant juice.
T
So they need the best score we ever seen, bro. Let's just leave it at.
D.J. Wells
And I'm gonna tell y' all something about all defensive teams. They just put anybody on them after, like, if you made it once or twice, three times, they just start putting you on there. Like 12 times. All defensive team. I. I played Kobe, bro. He wasn't guarding like that. He wouldn't, bro. Yeah, maybe his first. The first four or five, he was after that, bro. He wasn't guarding like that, bro.
Lou
Like, played in the league.
Mook
I didn't, bro.
D.J. Wells
Nah, go look. Paul Pierce and them used to cook. Joe Johnson used to cook.
T
One thing about the NBA is, bro, you're gonna get cooked, bro.
D.J. Wells
That I'm saying to be all defensive team, you know, it's.
T
People do something in them stats to get that many goddamn all defensive teams.
D.J. Wells
Nah, bro, people used to just randomly say that.
T
Like, they just said, fucking pick Kobe.
D.J. Wells
Yeah. Cause it's a. It's a Persona. Like the first couple times he made it, like, he lock up. Like, he guard, he be killing, he be strapping up. Like, he probably did that for like two or three seasons and then it just became a thing. Like, Kobe Bryant played defense, but Tony Allen and them dudes play defense.
T
Yeah, no, that's. That's literally why he was on the court, I'm saying.
D.J. Wells
So you think Kobe Bryant, who's shooting 40 shots, is going out here and.
T
Playing when it was crunch time job.
Mook
It's competitive.
D.J. Wells
For sure, he was competitive, but that don't mean he was locking up. That's why they had Metal world Peace. Because when the best players start cooking.
T
Bro, I'm averaging 40, I can't guard.
Mook
But to make 12 all defensive teams.
T
At the end of the game, to.
Lou
Make 12 all defense, I think Kobe was taking his matchup serious. Some nights he was taking this matchup seriously. He's probably guarding up, bro.
T
Especially when it mattered, bro.
Mook
Can we go double check and see how many all defensive teams Kobe made.
D.J. Wells
To make 12, bro? I don't even know if that's right, but he said 12, so I'm going off where he made it every year.
Lou
He was in the NBA.
D.J. Wells
Damn, Half your life, you the best defender half your life.
Lou
I stay out of. I don't know.
Mook
12 times did it too.
D.J. Wells
Lies, bro.
Mook
Locking up all defense in first team nine times. If you come to my first team first.
Lou
Hold on, Jeff. First team nine times. I'm going somebody.
Mook
Now. Hold on, bro. You play.
Lou
I respect, you know, I love your game, bruh. 12 time 9 time first team. I I guarded somebody.
T
He's playing defense.
Lou
I guarded the they not just put.
T
Me on here for the helmet playing some type of defense, Jeff.
Lou
I guarded the bro.
D.J. Wells
I'm not saying have nothing to say.
Mook
Cause his ass up.
D.J. Wells
I'm not saying he can't guard. I'm saying to be all first team, all defense bro. That mean you are a premium like nothing over here. This is shut down like like oh.
Lou
Boy island in the NFL.
Mook
Listen, I ain't gonna say nothing about it because in the comments they say we don't talk highly about Kobe or Carmelo Anthony, which is a question mark to me.
D.J. Wells
But y' all got come on bro.
Mook
Gary Payton.
D.J. Wells
Gary Payton is known for defense. That nigga name is glove.
Lou
Kobe had the other glove nigga.
D.J. Wells
Well and I'm not saying Kobe didn't have moments where he played defense. Kobe could guard like I'm not saying we It' a moment where Kyrie Irving tried to go by him and he locked that up like Kobe can guard. But this 12 times now ice cream.
Lou
That'S that out when I lock you up, bro.
Mook
1212. Hey my boy.
D.J. Wells
All right. Can you go see how many times go to the Tony Allen see how many first times he made first team all defense or even like just made all defensive team.
T
He ain't Kobe, bro.
D.J. Wells
That's what I'm saying. Miami he not be making. Yeah, I'm making my point exactly. If he ain't on there six times.
T
He probably is, bro.
D.J. Wells
He better be six times he better he got six.
Mook
Kobe he's not being bro.
D.J. Wells
All right.
Lou
Kobe locked up more.
Mook
Some of them second teams. Kobe got some of the first teams.
Lou
From TA he work did all that.
Mook
Hard work got here fighting for that life.
Lou
I'm going to shoot this 80 times and still young. Hey God bless the other Kobe big.
Mook
The guard in the for.
Lou
All that.
Mook
Tough picking up and Kobe stole a couple his all first man shout out to TA man. Oh that's crazy.
Lou
Dumbass defensive drills you a crash out.
Mook
I still shoot about 40 times for sure man. Shout out to the super chat. Great inspiration for show. All right man. PB5 Paul Ber signed his 5 year rookie max extension yesterday for 239 million. Could be 287 if he makes an all NBA win, MVP or DPO. I am sure at some point he will get on one of them all NBA teams. He is like that shout out to him man. 287 Ain't nothing bad at it. At all for that?
T
Make one of them teams next year?
Mook
Most definitely.
D.J. Wells
That is, Lord willing, boy.
Mook
All right, man. With this type of a contract, I ain't even gonna go top 10. Y' all think, is he a top 15 player in the league right now? P5?
D.J. Wells
Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.
Mook
Okay.
Lou
He top 10 to me.
Mook
Top 10?
Lou
Lord, he can't put him stats up.
Mook
Top 10. That's a little tough.
D.J. Wells
I'm not gonna say he's top 10.
Mook
I'm say top 15.
D.J. Wells
So, Shay Jokic, let's just. We here, we don't got nothing else to talk about. Shay Jo. Pitch.
T
Giannis.
Mook

D.J. Wells
Steph Curry.
Mook

D.J. Wells
LeBron.
Mook

D.J. Wells
KD6.
T
Jason Tatum.
D.J. Wells
Is he better than Jason Tatum?
Mook
No, not yet.
D.J. Wells
Jason Tatum. That's seven.
Mook
Let's go through the list right here. It's a perfect list right here.
T
Wimby.
Mook
Wimby.
D.J. Wells
Nah, I'm gonna take him over Wimby.
Mook
P5.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, I'm taking P5.
Mook
I can't do that. And I love P5 right now.
D.J. Wells
I'm taking him over Wemby, bro. Anthony Davis.
Lou
Yes, bro.
Mook
Ooh, that's tough.
D.J. Wells
I'm taking him over Ant man. I mean, Anthony Davis, is he better than Anthony Edwards? No.
Mook
Nope.
D.J. Wells
He ain't top 10 then.
T
Top 15?
Mook
Yeah, top 15 for sure.

D.J. Wells
I'm taking him over. Vic.

D.J. Wells
I'll take him up a d book.
Mook
P5. Jalen Brunson again.
Lou
P5.
Mook
Okay. Spin the block. Okay. I got a lot of hate for that. Just want to see if y' all stand on it.
T
I'm rolling P5, bro.
D.J. Wells
The reason I say he better than Wimby is because Wemby ain't really. He ain't really did nothing.
T
I can see that. He ain't pushing.
D.J. Wells
We just like Wimby like, he's a freak. I don't know, bro.
Lou
We'll be. Defense is unreal.
D.J. Wells
It is.
Mook
When we see him this year, I think that's gonna change.
D.J. Wells
But we only see him play defense for half a season.
Lou
Yeah. I mean, when he was there, he was there, though.
D.J. Wells
Oh, he's a phenomenal player. But I'm just gonna go with what I see.
Lou
So they got him as. I'm not mad at them. Him being 22, my boy gotta have a healthy season.
D.J. Wells
That's more realistic to me.
Mook
Yeah. Cause top 25, you're an all star. I like 15 over J Dub.
D.J. Wells
I'll take him over Evan Mobley, though.
T
Cause he's better than J Dub, bro.
Mook
Yeah, I don't. I don't like that. Shout out to J Dub champion. He cold. Yeah, I like P5 over Evan Mobley for sure. I like k being a hotto 16. I'm something.

D.J. Wells
I ain't with that. Damon, 45. Damn it. Lillard, 45. Kyrie 44, bro. Yeah, I ain't rolling for sure, man.
Mook
That's crazy. Pocket. Kevin Pritchard did some media availability yesterday, saying that he found out that Miles was going to the Bucks like we did via Sean's tweet. He said that they. You know what I'm saying? They didn't get a chance to match the offer from the Bucks. And with that, I'll say, who really knows and who really cares at this point, he's gone. If y' all didn't offer him what he should have got the first time, then I'm not mad at him for doing that. He saw $100 million.
Lou
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
T
Just offer him that, right?
Mook
Worry about, yeah, I don't like the back and forth from that situation. I don't believe everything, and I'll say I'll take it with a grain of salt. I do trust kp, but if you lowballing him and y' all done had this conversation back and forth all year, and he saw 100 and he took it. I'm not mad at Miles.
D.J. Wells
He did. He was supposed to. Y' all offered him something already. He turned it down. I know the inside scoop. He turned it down. So y' all might as well just come correct. Y' all had a crazy run. Y' all never going on that run again. Y' all should have just. Hey, Miles, what are you looking for? Yeah, he would say, I want to get paid more than Nazri. Y' all just paying more than Nasri. Look, Nasrid's getting 25 a year. We're willing to give you 28.
T
Simple.
Mook
Yeah, it's that easy. Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't believe too much of that.
D.J. Wells
Especially if y' all say y' all going into the luxury tax.
Mook
That was my thing is, if you was going to luxury tax, you would have just up the skull. It would. It shouldn't have been a back and forth for that time of a time period. Especially with all the Miles trade rumors he had to deal with. If y' all played in his face on that first offer, bro, he had every right to dip out. I ain't mad at it. Yeah.
D.J. Wells
I ain't gonna lie. I'm glad he left.
T
I am, too, because that's disrespect. You gonna pay me it anyway? Just offer it from the jump, bro.
D.J. Wells
No, I like it. Cause he always got nothing but slander here since he. I was here.
Mook
Yeah, he was always in the trade room.
D.J. Wells
He was in the trade. Rumors. They hated him, he don't get no rebounds. He's soft. He this, he that. He can't. He can't score over 6 foot people. All right, well, Milwaukee didn't say that they like him, so they going where he celebrated, bro.
Lou
Not tolerated.
Mook
Most definitely.
D.J. Wells
Yeah.
Mook
Also, him saying, you know, if he could do it all over again, he would have said, Tyrese down to game seven. That's great to say, but that doesn't matter. It's up to Tyrese, man.
T
So how you sit somebody down in the NBA finals, bro?
Mook
The biggest.
Lou
Don't do that, bro.
Mook
Nah. It's unfortunate Ty got hurt, Boba. Even Ty said, but I don't regret it. I do this all over again.
D.J. Wells
He only saying that because he got hurt. Literally, he wouldn't. If that was the case, you wouldn't have let him play game six.
T
If Tyrese would have sat down, they would have been talking, bro.
Lou
It's the Finals.
T
Like, they've been talking, bro.
Mook
Yeah, we haven't been there in 25 years. Give him a chance, bro, because ain't no promise. Like you said, next year, totally different year. Shout out to Miles. You got your bag, bro. You deserve it. 100 M's. I'm never telling nobody not to go get 100 M's, bro.
T
Can't, bro. That's crazy. Tyrese, take the year off anyway, bro. You deserve.
Mook
Yeah, I mean, officially said he's not playing next year. Well, duh. Like, what are we playing for, bro?
T
Yeah.

Hey so we all make mistakes, but owning up is the right thing to do. You know Degree Cool Rush Deodorant? Well last year they changed the formula and it did not go well with their fans.
Justin
Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. Formula 1 guy even started an online.
Silenia
Petition and degree listen they admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Ru scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4.

It is classic. Life is the probably one of the funniest black movies ever spun out though. Yeah, bro, shoot. I watch it every day. Not get.
D.J. Wells
I watch all the behind the scenes of life. It's like a 30 minute thing on YouTube. That is hilarious.
Lou
Damn, you got to say that to be wrong.
D.J. Wells
That said funny as hell.
Mook
The dude said she said she was.
D.J. Wells
My half sister so I cut her ass in half. He said he freestyled that, bro. That be crying.
Mook

Best storytelling pod for sure.
T
A say I was killing kd. I never said that.
D.J. Wells
Let's get some shit straight now.
Mook
Take some good runs though. For sure. All right. Get out of town. Says Teague. What made Avery Bradley so tough to go against? And why can't other small guards lock up like that instead of always getting picked on?
D.J. Wells
Well, Avery Bradley was an absolute athletic freak. He was fast, strong, quick could jump and he had crazy long arms like he was crazy athletic, bro. If you go look at Avery Bradley before he got to the NBA and just go look at his McDonald's slam dunk, you're gonna be like, oh, damn. I ain't know he had all that. Yeah, he was a crazy athlete. That's why a lot of people sometimes defense is just about effort. Some people just don't want to play defense. Facts like everybody can guard. Like, I done seen small guys guard big guys and do a great job. Sometimes you just be like, fuck it. Yeah.
Lou
Yeah.
D.J. Wells
Like if you go watch no disrespect to Darius Garland. If you go watch him, he guarding he in front of him. They just overpowering. That's just all weight room.
Mook
Yeah.
D.J. Wells
Like them dudes like that, like Pat Beverly was strong as Eric Bliss. I was strongest. Hell, every Bradley was strong as. And that's why them little guards could guard like that. Like, yeah, it was strong.
T
If you smile though, like Chris Paul strong as hell.
Mook
You gotta be strong.
D.J. Wells
Chris Paul strongest.
Mook
Yeah, because Chris Paul be switching the post and be just fine.
D.J. Wells
Strongest Eric bless all boy.
Mook
That's a bulldog for sure.
D.J. Wells

Lou
For real. That's crazy.
Mook
Hey, one of my favorite tweets of all time. I don't want to be here. Shout out to Eric Blesso, bro. Legend. That's how you get out of town for sure.
Lou
I remember he did it.
Mook
He said, no, I was with my girl at the hair salon. Salon. No, that's cool. We'll let you go, Legend. All right. Rob Seen the super chat, said, good morning, fellas. Best show on YouTube. You guys fly with the Apollo signing that, they are following the blueprint of okc, the sacred apron. Do you feel like OKC and Orlando can keep a young corps together?
D.J. Wells
Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope.
Mook
Yeah, they're gonna have to make a decision between Jayla Williams and Chet in about a year or so. So we shall see. But shout out to them.
D.J. Wells
Nah, they'd be able to keep them.
Mook
You think so?
D.J. Wells
They won't be able to keep nobody else. They keep Jalen Williams, Chad Shay. They ain't gonna be able to keep.
Lou
That's a cool quarter keep, though.
D.J. Wells
Yeah. They got so many picks. That's why they gonna be in good hands for a while. They got so many picks, they can just keep rotating all these young guys, making them good. All these young guys, build them up, trade them for assets, and just keep bringing in rookies that can blend in or veteran guys on the minimum.
Lou
No, that's smart for sure.
D.J. Wells
That's all they're gonna have to do. That's all they can do to keep them three together.
Mook
You think they'll ever get to a point to where, like you said, that formula, it's gonna work for sure. Do you think they'll have a time moment where they'll be like, all right, I gotta decide between somebody.
D.J. Wells
Oh, if Shay keep trending in the way he's trending, eventually his max is gonna be so high that it's like. And if Jalen Williams keep trending away, he making all defensive teams, all NBAs, he gonna be on a supermax. It's gonna be like, chet gotta go. But don't let Chet have a moment where he start playing all NBA, kind of.
T
So basically, at some point, somebody gonna have to go.
D.J. Wells
Yeah, but not nowhere. No time. Some soon.
