Okay, have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. Their fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back. And Degree listened. That doesn't happen often. They admitted that they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back.

Lester Holt
Good morning. 5:20 in the morning, man. Your favorite sports show brought to you by Boost Mobile. You know the vibes. I'm your host. My name is D.J. wells. We got a full house this morning. We got mooc, we got Bishop, we got Teague. Fellas, good morning. How y' all doing?
Tom Brokaw
What up, bro?
Mooc
What's up, bro?
Ryan Seacrest
I'm good, bro. I'm Feeling great.
Lester Holt
Feeling great, man. It was a wonderful sports weekend, man. Let's get straight to it, man. Unfortunately, man, again, built an ass situation in Oklahoma City yesterday. The Thunder took care of the Pacers yesterday, 123 to 107 victory. It wasn't even as close as the score was, man. OKC dominated this entire game. MVP SGA went crazy. 34, 8 and 5. Jalen Williams had 19, man. Alex Caruso had 20. Your man, he gets the game ball for me, man. Aaron Wiggins balled out yesterday, man. Showed up, went crazy. Hal Burton had A very misleading 17 yesterday, and Seakum had 15 and 7, man. I know we talked about last night, but, you know, so we all got to sleep on a little bit pause like, that game was crazy yesterday, man. It was okc really just showing we was better than y' all today.
Mooc
Flat out, it was locking up, bro. Yeah, everybody came to hoop.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah.
Mooc
I mean, like they said, Jalen Williams still ain't took off yet, so that's a little scary, bro.
Lester Holt
It is. But when you're getting 20 for Caruso, 18 from Wiggins, man. They showed up.
Mooc
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
Do y' all think that that game will travel, though? Do you? Obviously, I don't expect a big game like that from Aaron Wiggins again, but do you think that game will travel?
Mooc
I think Caruso will. The way he play. He play off effort and defense. I think he will. This don't make him better than Lonzo.
Ryan Seacrest
I didn't say it.
Lester Holt
I love when we go back to.
Ryan Seacrest
I never said he. I've never said he was better than Lonzo Ball. I said they're very similar players the.
Lester Holt
Last night, you know what I'm saying? I was trying to be, you know, respectful, take my. My. My loss, you know, humbly. Hey, man, Lou Dort, Alex Russell be hacking, man. They are great defenders, bro. They are hacking, bro. I watched some more of that game last night. It is crazy how physical they are allowed to be, man.
Ryan Seacrest
It ain't a hack. It ain't a hack until they call it.
Lester Holt
I'm just hating right now. Let me be very transparent. That's why they was playing tremendous defense yesterday, bro.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Everybody was playing D, do all the subs, everything. It's like they were scared yesterday. For real.
Ryan Seacrest
For real.
Tom Brokaw
They spooked Tyrese yesterday.
Lester Holt
Yeah, his. His lack of, you know, aggressiveness yesterday is very alarming. You know, we had that conversation with people like, hey, as a superstar, you can't turn it on and off. And this is going to be a reference point for them.
Ryan Seacrest
Also.
Lester Holt
I seen last night, they were just like, you know, it's okay because a lot of superstars have had bad finals games. Now, this is alarming because you just wasn't aggressive.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. Like, yeah, y. I've never seen a superstar not aggressive. I've seen LeBron have bad shooting nights. Well, I take that back.
Tom Brokaw
Hard and fuck up.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. I seen Bron in the finals against Mavericks. He wasn't aggressive. Yeah, yeah.
Mooc
It's kind of like what AE did. He wasn't really aggressive. It's OKC kind of.
Ryan Seacrest
They take you out of the game.
Mooc
Take you throughout the game.
Lester Holt
And I was gonna ask y' all this question. Like, is it? I mean, obviously, we know he has a history with this, but also, OKC has made some of the best players in the NBA look real passive. Like, we gotta show some respect. No one defense for a reason.
Ryan Seacrest
But my thing is, we've seen Tyrese do this against other teams, too, though. Like, we always. We can almost bank that. Two games out of a series, Tyrese is going to be passive because in the regular season, he had games where he get four points or. I mean, what. This year he had a game where he didn't even score.
Lester Holt
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
So we know that's going to happen with him, but we just don't know what games. So I'm glad he got it out of their game, too, for the series. Right. They took. They got game one. They even the series up. OKC did last night, but now it's a. You know, it's a battle. Hopefully he got his one game out of the way, and we won't see that no more. So to make the series good.
Lester Holt
I love that point. Like you said, go ahead and get out the way. This is the game. It did not matter. Pascal Siakam also did not show up yesterday. When you get a chance, I love to pull up the shooting percentages. We were. It was a joke. Honestly, you look across the board, nobody really showed up. Only person who really hooped out was Miles. Miles hooped out in the third. He held us down, tried to give us a comeback. But other than that, man, everybody else.
Tom Brokaw
Was cool besides Pascal and Obi.
Lester Holt
Well, Obi going 1 for 8 was definitely not the vibes that shit at all.
Tom Brokaw
But really, Obi going 1 for 8 is out of pocket, but you ain't really caring about Obi Siakam. Gotta get y' all 25. Damn near.
Mooc
Nah. Yeah, if he don't do that, we don't even gotta chance.
Lester Holt
Yeah, bro, 27% is never gonna cut it. Especially not NBA Finals. Three for 11. Yeah, it was nasty.
Ryan Seacrest
Him and Haliburton, they gotta be dynamic every game. If they're not dynamic, y' all don't win.
Mooc
Yeah, it's over. Like OB And M is just a bonus, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, like Nemhard, what he did the first game, you can't bank on that. Even though he a skillful player, he got game. You can't bank on that. You gotta bank on Tyrese and Pascal being great.
Lester Holt
Most definitely. Yeah. Cause like you said, when they're going, it makes everybody else job easier. You know, niece Smith, he gonna hit threes regardless. I ain't worried about them. He's gonna get his shots up. The biggest problem also I have is, man, I mean, I'm not to like criticizing the rotation, but we had a tie game in that second quarter before Tyrese went to the bench. And he went to the bench, and my Lord, all hell broke loose. Hey, don't do that. Get on your tibs, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Don't do that.
Lester Holt
Get on your tibs.
Ryan Seacrest
Don't do that.
Lester Holt
DJ get on your team.
Ryan Seacrest
You always big on the bench. Don't do that.
Lester Holt
The bench is important, bro. But when they ain't got it, bro, this the finals.
Tom Brokaw
Tyrese just thinking it up, bro. Quit coming in there chucking three, which I always say go downhill.
Mooc
Yeah, but we can't say that, cuz.
Ryan Seacrest
They won game one.
Mooc
Doing, bro. They been playing like this.
Ryan Seacrest
The bench won game one.
Tom Brokaw
The bench won a lot of games.
Mooc
Yeah, it been this way. So we can't. You know what I'm saying?
Lester Holt
That's fair.
Ryan Seacrest
What's his name? Obadiah. He won game one, bro.
Lester Holt
So we can't.
Mooc
Aaron N. We can't pick and choose, bro.
Lester Holt
That's fair.
Ryan Seacrest
That's fair.
Tom Brokaw
Thomas Bryant.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Tom Brokaw
Shout out to the whip. That's our whip. That's our bench. T.J. nash. Yeah, get a freaky 10.
Mooc
I'm rolling.
Lester Holt
Hey, T.J. nash shot them threes yesterday, everybody. So like Josh Smith in Detroit. This is like, God damn. Everybody start sucking their teeth.
Ryan Seacrest
He was 5 for 7, though.
Mooc
Be wide ass open, though.
Tom Brokaw
But he's. He. Y' all need him, though. He give y' all quality points and quality time, bro.
Lester Holt
Yeah, they called it one backer, too. He shot two of them, though. But yeah, he did go one for one technically, but, man, he just be like, they don't even want. They don't. They like. Please shoot it.
Mooc
Please shoot it. It take him an hour to shoot it too.
Lester Holt
Like, God damn.
Ryan Seacrest
I take my time.
Tom Brokaw
Y' all got.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Tom Brokaw
Yes. He is for sure what he is, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
For sure.
Lester Holt
That's fair.
Tom Brokaw
He's the only.
Ryan Seacrest
It's not even a question, bro.
Lester Holt
That is fair.
Ryan Seacrest
Every game he's there.
Lester Holt
Yes, bro, I will say I know what I'm going to get from him every single night. The stats may not be there, but energy, effort wise, I know what I'm going to get from every night. That's absolutely fair.
Tom Brokaw
Oh, yeah, Tyrese, dinner. Gotta have a triple double, bro. Next game.
Mooc
It's on the way though. He finna kill.
Lester Holt
Yeah, I was gonna say. I mean, you can't be too upset. Like you said, we splitting okc, you know what I'm saying? We was probably a little bit overzealous thinking we was about to knock them out of the crib for sure. They have not lost back to back games in a long, long time this season. I wouldn't expect them to happen now. But optimism going back home split with a good team. How you feeling?
Mooc
Like you said, we did our job, bro.
Lester Holt
Okay.
Mooc
I think we gonna win game three, bro. Everybody gonna turn up. We at home, role players gonna make shots. Tyrese gonna turn up. I think we got game three, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
I got the Pacers winning game three. But the only thing that can happen is if sga, he's not sweating right now and I think he getting comfortable. I think he done figured the Pacer out. Like game one, you could tell that the pressure and things was kind of getting to him a little bit. Like them being so aggressive defensively, picking him up full court and he was shot 30 shots. Yeah, game two, he looked like, yeah, figure drive it look easy, I ain't gonna lie. And they started trapping him like he was getting the ball on the block. They started sending rotations and that's how Caruso got a bunch of open layups and threes. So I think he kinda like, I can pick these dudes apart.
Tom Brokaw
Nah facts.
Ryan Seacrest
But if, you know they game sliders go up at gamesbridge. So all them shots they was missing and stuff, they gonna be hitting. The only thing is, if Jalen Williams, when SGA go out and Jalen Williams is the focal point offense, if his game don't travel, I mean, he ain't had a good game yet. Yeah, if his game don't travel, they gonna get beat by 15. I'm telling you, the Pacers, bro, they are different at home when that crowd get behind them.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, Chad get 15. We winning.
Ryan Seacrest
Nah, that moment where SGA go out, what is like them four or five minutes.
Lester Holt
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
It could get spooky. Yeah.
Lester Holt
I think chet gonna get 15. I don't game one was anomaly. Chet ain't scoring single points again. Like he's gonna be a double digit score. That's his average. I expect that. But if Jalen Williams is upping it to 20, 25, especially at a high clip or a good percentage, that's gonna put a lot of pressure on us.
Mooc
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
Cause that's what happened with Minnesota. He came to life.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, he definitely did.
Lester Holt
And it's something about games bridge to make people game slots go up. No, we be getting dubs there. But people go crazy in the bridge.
Mooc
I don't like the fact that he had two bad games. Cause. Cause at some point he gonna turn it around, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. I'm saying if he come to life, but for some reason, I just don't think he is. And I'm not hating on Jalen Williams. I think he's a good player. Oh, I'm not wishing bad day don't turn it around. I just don't think this is a series. I think they match up well with him. They do like, usually he like the eyeball out because he's big, fast, strong, six, eight can move. But they got a whole bunch of players that's similar to him, like Pascal Garden. Obi come in and then you can put neem hard on him and then you can put neesmith on. They all can like guard him. And usually he got the mismatch because he bigger and stronger and faster than his opponent. But not this serious.
Lester Holt
Most definitely. You talked about them playing big yesterday. They had low passes between Hardenstein and Jay. Hey, man, stick to your guns.
Tom Brokaw
Gonna lose.
Ryan Seacrest
What you. What you think gonna make? What's gonna be the difference behind and them playing at games bridge. Like, what you think gonna happen?
Tom Brokaw
Well, I really, honestly, I know I talk about the pastors, but y' all right though. That momentum, it put a spark in them. But y' all damn near helped them with their game plan to win the game. Like, I know you can't say they supposed to be up too old, but if they would have kept them in the game, it probably would have went different. So they switch it up. If they keep the formula the same way, shit, it's probably gonna playing big. Yeah, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Are you saying keeping ch or H out there. Yeah, they probably be up too.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, yeah.
Mooc
They helped us with that for sure. They did us a favor.
Lester Holt
Yeah, they did. They. They show love for sure, cuz. And also, we definitely.
Tom Brokaw
Y' all going have to run them out the gym. Y' all going to have to win that up and down.
Mooc
I mean, that's how. That's how the Pacers play anyway.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Y' all going to have to win that way.
Mooc
They need 120 points, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, they got to score big. What they scored what, one? Like, it really was up once they made the subs and they started scoring.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, I just want who the X factor, though, on the Pacers. I don't know who our X factor is.
Ryan Seacrest
Tyrese Halliburton.
Lester Holt
Yeah, that's it. When Tyrese is playing at a high clip, everybody else is getting open shots. Especially at home, you feel more confident. You got time to breathe and shoot. That's really what it is, bro. He unlock our offense. I mean, Pascal, when he show up, he gonna hoop. But when Tyrese getting. Everybody involved, everybody feel different. You can tell the swag is high, bro.
Mooc
Yeah, he. The injury.
Tom Brokaw
What does Ben Matheran gotta do, though?
Ryan Seacrest
This ain't a. He can hoop, but this is not a series for him. I mean, I'm not gonna say it's not a series for him. It's a tougher series because I told you, they can match up with him. Usually he bigger, stronger, faster. You know what I mean? Sub in. The bench, players he subbed in, he usually can dominate them.
Tom Brokaw
So y' all only need him to play 15 minutes?
Lester Holt
No, no, no. We need.
Ryan Seacrest
We need him to play.
Lester Holt
We need him to play, but it's.
Mooc
More the focal point is on Tyrese, bro.
Tom Brokaw
Gotcha.
Ryan Seacrest
But, like, think about it. When you sub in against this team, Caruso sub in, he got Mather. I mean, you know what I mean? It's like, okay, yeah, that's a. Yeah. It's like, well, he just ain't about to kill him. Or like, whoever Wiggins or whoever it is.
Mooc
Pascal could barely dribble the ball on Caruso, bro.
Lester Holt
Yeah, bro.
Mooc
He had him bagged up to half foot. I'm like, ah, shit.
Tom Brokaw
It look crazy.
Lester Holt
And people been sleeping on Kayson. Wallace isn't putting pressure, boy. He got pressured on everybody.
Ryan Seacrest
That's what I mean. Like Mather and sub Ben. You got this dude chasing him around. It's different than when you had somebody from the Knicks campaign.
Lester Holt
He was coming in frying Landry Shammy.
Ryan Seacrest
Like Landry Shammy. He going straight at them.
Mooc
You can't do who dork like that?
Ryan Seacrest
Or Jalen Brunson. Might have got switched on. He like, man, I attack him. These dudes right here, they deep.
Lester Holt
Everybody want to play defense.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. That's what they made they team is based off defense.
Tom Brokaw
I think y' all need another spark, though, bro. Somebody else has to score the ball. Like, yeah, it's Tyrese, but he can score the ball.
Ryan Seacrest
He just gonna have to catch a rhythm. Like, he don't shoot many threes. Like, the reason, like, ne Smith and them are getting some points is. Cause they catch and shoot threes. Then not a catch and shoot player. He need to. Yeah, I need to bounce a little bit, pause with the. I need to get my handle going, and then I could pull up for three, and this ain't the series.
Tom Brokaw
Okay, so does Neem Hart need to put some more shots up? Is 8. He need about 10, 12.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, he gotta be a little more aggressive. Cause he got the ability to get to his shot.
Mooc
He can make shots.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Lester Holt
And I ain't mad at him. I mean, he got eight shot attempts yesterday. I mean, and the way that Tyrese is playing, he had to facilitate a little bit more. They probably would have liked to, but.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying, though. So if Tyrese not aggressive, just. We don't know what he's gonna do the next game. You know, we pray he kill. I hope he killed. But I'm saying, if he have another lackluster game like this, is it Neem hard job to fill in the void?
Lester Holt
Nope. It's gonna be on Pascal.
Ryan Seacrest
I mean, I told y' all to be honest.
Mooc
If Tyrese do this again, we gonna lose. It don't matter what happens, bro. He has to be aggressive, bro. We cannot win when playing like that.
Lester Holt
Respectfully, they're not the Knicks. The Knicks had too many two holes on defense that we could always exploit whenever we needed to. And also, they. They didn't. They did.
Mooc
Yeah. They. They put too much pressure.
Tom Brokaw
If he gets 17 11.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, if he aggressive, that's a good Tyrese.
Lester Holt
17 11. We win a game that's a elite.
Mooc
Game for eight, four, get the scoring. If he got 10, that ain't gonna. You know what I'm saying? That ain't gonna cut it.
Tom Brokaw
All right, that's fair. That's fair. I just.
Ryan Seacrest
1711.
Tom Brokaw
What about Miles, though? You ain't say nothing about Miles.
Lester Holt
I did. I said Miles is the only bright spot in the game from that third quarter. Miles is going crazy. He was the only person scoring.
Tom Brokaw
Miles can't get four rebounds, though.
Lester Holt
What I mean, what are you asking?
Tom Brokaw
What's wrapped the team down? I mean, we hear this all we got.
Mooc
That's some mild though.
Lester Holt
Yeah, bro, That's. That's cool.
Mooc
Four or five rebounds, bro. That's what he do.
Tom Brokaw
Ain't gonna get it done.
Lester Holt
Look at the come on, bros, bro.
Tom Brokaw
Get Miles 200 million, but you can't get four, four rebounds.
Lester Holt
That's my problem about 200 million.
Ryan Seacrest
You see how they lose one game all of the same. Miles wins the series for him last year.
Lester Holt
Yeah, bro. Miles getting 100 million yesterday on the pod. You talking about getting 150? I didn't like that energy.
Ryan Seacrest
Listen. Miles wins the series for the Knicks. He plays his ass off. They lose one game, it's one and one. Now it's Miles, kid. I can't take it.
Lester Holt
Come on, bro. But you know the asking price was. Is basically 30 a year. So three years, 100 is fair.
Ryan Seacrest
Correct.
Lester Holt
33 million a year.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Tom Brokaw
He need four.
Ryan Seacrest
He won a four year deal.
Tom Brokaw
Stop playing.
Ryan Seacrest
Get a four year deal.
Tom Brokaw
Doing that bad.
Lester Holt
I said a three year deal. I didn't say there was a team option. No, I might even give you a player option.
Tom Brokaw
Jeff said four years.
Lester Holt
Four year deal. I don't like the energy.
Ryan Seacrest
I just turned 29. Whatever. He is 30. I need to solidify my future.
Lester Holt
But what can't you do with 100 million?
Tom Brokaw
Who else are y' all gonna get? For real, all jokes. Who else are y' all gonna get? Besides nobody.
Lester Holt
I'm completely joking. We have no option.
Mooc
We have to give him what he wants.
Lester Holt
It's business. Since he's been in our team, every year they're like, trade Miles. Okay, cool. Who gonna replace him? All right, cool. We got Miles. It's like, just pay him the money, bro. He's earned it for sure.
Tom Brokaw
He need to be a patient for life, bro.
Lester Holt
He deserves to be. If he wants to be a patient for life. He definitely deserves to be.
Ryan Seacrest
He will be.
Mooc
It's over.
Ryan Seacrest
I would hope they actually win a championship. So Miles can be the greatest pacer.
Tom Brokaw
Oh, wow.
Mooc
Damn.
Ryan Seacrest
He gonna be here for 15 years.
Lester Holt
He's gonna be probably one of the best players of all time. You'll have to put him at list. He's the only person been there probably forever. He gonna have all types of crazy records with the team.
Ryan Seacrest
The most leading blocks most.
Tom Brokaw
Damn, that's tough.
Ryan Seacrest
Eighth in scoring all time or something.
Tom Brokaw
I love Miles, bro.
Mooc
Miles Turner, the best player in our franchise. We are.
Lester Holt
He's definitely the best center.
Ryan Seacrest
No, no, not best player. Reggie Miller always gonna be the best player. I was about to say. He definitely gonna be the best.
Tom Brokaw
Not better than Jerome.
Lester Holt
No, but if you get a chip, they gonna say it.
Mooc
He's not.
Tom Brokaw
Nah. I ain't gonna let y' all. Wow.
Lester Holt
He was gonna ask to be better than Rick Smith.
Tom Brokaw
He is.
Mooc
Yes.
Tom Brokaw
But J. O is quiet.
Ryan Seacrest
He a power forward, though.
Mooc
Rick Smith.
Lester Holt
But listen, Rick Smith, Battle Shaq.
Tom Brokaw
Like I say, y' all are the real basketball heads, but if my center is averaging six rebounds, basketball needs to be positionless.
Ryan Seacrest
It is.
Tom Brokaw
So you can't say he's the best sitter. Just say he's just one of the best players.
Lester Holt
Never hit a step back three. I ain't never seen it.
Ryan Seacrest
He gonna go down as one of he. They might retire his jersey.
Mooc
They should.
Tom Brokaw
They should.
Lester Holt
They probably would.
Ryan Seacrest
Miles. Yeah, they probably retired.
Lester Holt
We gotta update.
Tom Brokaw
As toxic as they been with him, they should.
Lester Holt
Honestly, I was gonna say. Yeah, that may be the reason they don't. But if he stays there the whole entire time, bro, it would be.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. If he stayed for 14, 15 years, probably gonna get retired.
Lester Holt
The league will be pissed, like. All right. Y' all have somebody, man.
Mooc
Yeah. Like, what we doing, man?
Lester Holt
That was crazy, man. We'll talk more about the game, man, but shout out to OKC for getting the dub again. We going to address it. Mike Bees, he got the. You know what I'm saying? He got the dub against Lance.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. That was some filthy basketball about to.
Mooc
Say my boy Dlam, he. He wasn't that wrong, bro. Mike Beasley kind of don't got no crazy, like, move up, bro. He get to his spots and make all his shots, bro.
Tom Brokaw
I think that's crazy basketball. Beautiful, though.
Mooc
I'm just saying. He's just talking about just moves like Kyrie Irving. He don't. He don't really got that, but that.
Tom Brokaw
Shows you why a lot of that don't matter.
Lester Holt
It don't matter.
Mooc
It don't matter.
Ryan Seacrest
I'm bigger than you. I turn and I shoot over you.
Mooc
But he was really upset about him saying that, and it was true. He does not have no moves, but he scored a out the ball.
Tom Brokaw
No, I don't know, bro. It's hard to play like Mike beating.
Mooc
The hell out of the ball.
Lester Holt
It was a lot of fouling, but it was a lot of traveling, a lot of carrying.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, yeah, it was some bad basketball.
Lester Holt
At one point, I see Mike BC do a spin move here, here, here, and then dribbled again.
Ryan Seacrest
Kept it in the same hand.
Mooc
That look Weird, bro.
Tom Brokaw
But play defense, bro.
Mooc
He good, though.
Ryan Seacrest
He make all his shots.
Mooc
Make all the shots, bro.
Lester Holt
The ref should have got a cut at 100k because they had to work. It was so.
Tom Brokaw
Oh, yeah.
Lester Holt
It was so many fouls, bro.
Tom Brokaw

Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. I'm like, man, y' all need somebody that's gonna be like, wwe. Not scripted, but, like, we ain't trying to kill each other.

Tom Brokaw
It's a lot of people to stop, though. It is. It's a lot of people.
Lester Holt
They're hell of a team. For sure, man. Okay. Seeing no slouch, they have no weaknesses. That's why there's no room for error. Gotta execute. All right, big Z1 1 said, out of the four teams that Kyrie has been at, where do y' all think Kyrie was at his prom? Only performances don't include the championship Cavs, bro. Kyrie Irving in the Cleveland Cavaliers uniform is unstoppable. Especially young Kyrie.
Ryan Seacrest
I'mma go with Brooklyn.
Tom Brokaw
He had some shit in Brooklyn, man.
Ryan Seacrest
That run when he was doing in Brooklyn, man.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, he Was going crazy in Brooklyn.
Mooc
See, he was doing next to Bron was insane.
Ryan Seacrest
It was. But when he went to Brooklyn, man, the first game, because every year he had 50 on us.
Mooc
He did that on the Spurs.
Ryan Seacrest
But your first game to welcome to.
Tom Brokaw
The city, I was big.
Lester Holt
But shout out to Joshua Kobe.
Tom Brokaw
It's hard to battle that Cavs run, though.
Ryan Seacrest
It's cause we seen him so much like when he was in Brooklyn. We ain't see him, though, but he was so efficient when he was in Brooklyn, bro. Can you pull up Kyrie's stats when he was in Brooklyn?
Mooc
I mean, every time Kyrie step on the court is.
Ryan Seacrest
I mean, it's great. I mean, his Cavs run was more. We seen it because Brian, you know what I mean? You seen that Brian.
Mooc
He was killing in Brooklyn for sure.
Ryan Seacrest
But what he was doing in Brooklyn, bro.
Lester Holt
And personally, my favorite version of Kyrie, even though I would say the best, I would go with Cleveland, people forget, bro, before he got hurt in Boston, Kyrie was killing.
Ryan Seacrest
I. I ain't like that Boston run. He was killing.
Lester Holt
Everybody was trying to get paid, and it wasn't really as fluid as he was killing in Boston.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, but Brooklyn, bro, it was so efficient.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, his run in Brooklyn, 50.
Lester Holt
He was definitely seven in Brooklyn.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, that was shooting 50, bro.
Tom Brokaw
48, 47. 50, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
He was so efficient, bro. Yeah, like, didn't miss. Averaging 27. He wasn't missing, bro.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, that Kyrie was different, I swear. And he had his. That's his most assist damn near.
Ryan Seacrest
He was hooping.
Lester Holt
But like you said that probably the most polarizing is next to LeBron, because we saw that history, what he did in the Finals, bro, Like insane, bro. Probably may never be done again, man. Shout out to Kyrie. Good question.
Ryan Seacrest
That was his highest assist year, too, I think.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
In Brooklyn, I'm telling you, he was having. He was playing ball. That's why when they was hating on him at the. I mean, I knew it was all the Kobe, all that whatever stuff at that time, bro, that was like Pete, Kyrie. Yeah, yeah. He was hooping.
Lester Holt
We like that Joe Harris was gonna be the next coming, bro. Because of Kyrie, bro. He made everybody that team look better.
Ryan Seacrest
Like you said, bro, I'm telling you, bro, he ain't rolled that ankle, bro. Second highest this year.
Tom Brokaw
Highest points, though.
Ryan Seacrest
His highest assist this year is 1819 at Boston.
Tom Brokaw
He came into the league.
Lester Holt
My boy was killing it. Boston is having 24.
Ryan Seacrest
What?
Tom Brokaw
24, seven.
Ryan Seacrest
Tough. If he ain't roll that ankle, we be Talking about the Brooklyn Nets. Totally different facts.
Lester Holt
If they a thought they oops of Gordon Hayward, man, that Boston team could have been special, man.
Mooc
Damn.
Ryan Seacrest
We would have never got Jason Tatum though.
Lester Holt
That is true. Damn.
Ryan Seacrest
Jason Tatum would have been. This ain't no shade to you, jt. Cause you are who you are. But he probably would have been like who like a.
Tom Brokaw
You gonna say he been like Pascal?
Ryan Seacrest
Nah, he had more gain than Pascal. But he would have been like a 20 point scorer.
Lester Holt
What you say? Rudy Gay?
Mooc
How about I say you gonna call my boy Rudy Gay, bro? That's exactly what I was thinking.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, not Rudy Gay, but yeah, you know, Ruby Gay was cold, but he.
Mooc
Ain'T like Tatum though.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, Rudy Gay was raw.
Mooc
No, he was cold, but he not Jason Tatum.
Ryan Seacrest
He just wouldn't have that same opportunity as a rookie to be able to get that momentum.
Lester Holt
Regardless. My favorite version of Rudy gave us when he was in Toronto and he led the league and like shot attempts. He was in that chucking and I did not care.
Mooc
He's a chuck.
Tom Brokaw
But Rudy with OJ Mayo now was legendary. He got that five year 80, bro.
Lester Holt
Those are 2K legends, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, Rudy G was. I never thought he was like super cold, but I just knew he could. I knew he was going to get 20. He had the most didn't count buckets ever. This ain't no Rudy G is a great NBA player, but his buckets never mattered.
Tom Brokaw
I don't know bro. That, that 20 was that 20.
Ryan Seacrest
I'm saying like they never was like.
Tom Brokaw
It mattered that 20, guys.
Lester Holt
No, no, he. No.
Ryan Seacrest
Okay, I shouldn't say that he got paid cuz he was. He's a hell of a player. But I'm saying like he never like I never seen him like get 20 points in the matter. Like they all, all his teams always was sad.
Mooc
I know what you mean.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, you know what I mean. Like they always were sad. It's like. It's like Kevin Martin. Kevin Martin got buckets. They always on sad teams.
Tom Brokaw
But see, that's why I don't judge people by 18, bro. It can't help to everybody sad, bro.
Lester Holt
Yeah, bro. Look at his career outside of rookie year, bro. I'm killing I average 20.
Ryan Seacrest
You're a 20 point scorer.
Lester Holt
But it's just like.
Ryan Seacrest
If Rudy Gay is the best player on the team, y' all about to be ass.
Tom Brokaw
It depends on what pieces is around you.
Lester Holt
Memphis was solid, but they did get a little bit better once they transitioned.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, when they got, when they got rid of Rudy all Of a sudden.
Tom Brokaw
Oh, yeah, they turned up.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Lester Holt
It was different. Toronto.
Tom Brokaw
My boy wasn't a cancer.
Ryan Seacrest
No, no. I don't know. I don't know. I never played with him. But I'm saying, like, when he was the go to guy, it's because he. Rudy Gaye is like, this is gonna sound crazy. He like Vince Carter. You know how people be like, Vince Carter, man, he was the most talented player. He could have did anything in the world. That's how I used to look at Rudy Gay. So I guess I'm looking at it from a basketball version. Cause I used to see him, I'm like, man, he's six, eight. He got an athletic. He got a burner. He can get to wherever he want to go. Like, why Rudy gay don't average 30 while he on average 28, you know what I mean?
Lester Holt
Rudy got Andrew Wiggins.
Ryan Seacrest
Bam. There you go. Like, I say the same thing about wig quota.
Lester Holt
Like, they gonna get 20 regardless.
Mooc
I'm getting his 20.
Ryan Seacrest
I'm getting 20. He wig. Like, I said the same thing about wig. Like, wig. You got everything.
Tom Brokaw
He do wig dude got everything.
Ryan Seacrest
Like, why you not Jayson Tatum.
Mooc
True.
Ryan Seacrest
But then playing with wig and I know wig, he like, that ain't his personality. I'm chilling my boy. Like, I come do my job. I'm going home. I don't know Rudy Gay personality.
Tom Brokaw
I'm gonna have to run them Rudy gay YouTube highlights back, man. He used to be a bucket.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. But you get what I'm saying, though?
Tom Brokaw
I definitely hear what you.
Ryan Seacrest
Because Vince Carter, like, when. When I hear Kobe Bryant or like Gilbert Arenas talk about Vince Carter and they talk about how talented and how he should been the best player in the world. That's kind of how I look at Rudy Gay. Like, they all say.
Mooc
They all say Vince Carter should have been that, bro. And if you watch Vince Carter, you like, he look crazy. His highlight tape is insane, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
But, like, if you go watch Rudy Gay highlight, you gonna be like, God damn. Like, that's how I feel. But I used to be like, damn.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
Like, you could be up there with Bron. You got the same attributes as Brian, bro.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, but the. The talent is. Is different. It's tears. It's tears.
Ryan Seacrest
But he got. You got the same attributes as Bron.
Tom Brokaw
No, he got this.
Ryan Seacrest
He literally got the same attributes as Melo.
Lester Holt
Hey, first off, I have a problem. Yeah, we have to get off this.
Ryan Seacrest
Not. Not Utah Jazz.
Lester Holt
Rudy Gay highlights, and you went to 22, 23.
Ryan Seacrest
Rudy.
Lester Holt
That's disrespectful.
Tom Brokaw
This is literally the first drink.
Mooc
He should have went to Yukon.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, I still remember that contract, man. 80 million.
Lester Holt
There we go.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, Rudy.
Lester Holt
That man went to Utah special. Also, I did not know he spent several years in Sacramento. God damn. Oh, yeah. Hey, 2K. God.
Ryan Seacrest
But I'm saying he got the same attributes as Bron, bro.
Mooc
At least mellow, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Or mellow. For sure.
Mooc
At least mellow.
Tom Brokaw
Okay, I might get y' all mellow, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, you should have been in that same. No, I'm not saying he wouldn't. I don't know. He was fresh as fuck. That's what I said.
Lester Holt
Toronto, bro. Nigga was getting heat off him and DeMarosa.
Ryan Seacrest
But you got the same attributes as Melo. Like, just.
Tom Brokaw
The only thing about Rudy is he just wasn't aggressive as Mellow. He didn't play bully ball. Like, Mellow was scared to guard Carmelo Anthony, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
I know, but I'm just saying. You got it.
Tom Brokaw
He's more. Rudy Gay was a finesse player.
Mooc
He's just saying they match up well.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, like, you got that Rudy Cash.
Mooc
Crash to be mellow. Did you not turn that corner?
Tom Brokaw
I think it's the being aggressive, bro. If you're gonna compare him to Mellow, you got to throw that in there, though, bro. Mellow was a bully in the paint. Rudy wasn't a bully in the paint. He was just more athletic than.
Lester Holt
Hey, man, shout out to the super chat, man. Great question. Great conversation.
Ryan Seacrest
I was a Rudy Gay fan. Maybe that's why I'm like, yeah, you.
Tom Brokaw

Lester Holt

Lester Holt
Yeah.
Mooc
Facts.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, that was great.
Mooc
Very similar.
Lester Holt
So G breezy 21 in a super chat, T SGA is said to be the best player player in the world and face of the league after he wins his title and has single best guard season ever. I don't know if that's the best guard season ever, but he is on pace, man. Respect. All right, shout out to.

Tom Brokaw
That's why I had little Nick.

Mooc
Nah, he had a real burner.

Mooc
He could not miss, bro. Floater was crazy. Trey Ball crazy.

Lester Holt
All right, man. One more time. In the super chat, Sean Stewart said, do you think Bones Highland can get back to a relative role in the NBA?
Ryan Seacrest
I don't know. I hope he does, but I ain't gonna lie to you. Shout out to him. I ain't never seen him play.
Lester Holt
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
I ain't even hating, bro. I swear to God, I ain't never seen social media.
Tom Brokaw
Him being on social media so much kind of helped. I mean, kind of hurt him.
Lester Holt
Yeah. I'm not sure what happened.
Mooc
He had momentum in Denver, bro.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, he did.
Lester Holt
Yeah. I don't know what happened in Denver to. Which made them kind of move on.
Mooc
From him asking for, like, more shots and more playing time.
Lester Holt
When they allegedly said he felt like he was better than Jamal Murray, I was like, yeah, you gotta relax, bro. It's not how the NBA go.
Ryan Seacrest
I wasn't watching the league at this.
Mooc
Time to him, he was hooping, though.
Ryan Seacrest
What year was that?
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, he was hooping.
Ryan Seacrest
I was playing.
Mooc
He was having a solid, like, little year.
Ryan Seacrest
Was that. That's the year I retired, huh?
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, his last year in Cleveland. I mean, in la, he was doing all right.
Ryan Seacrest
That's the year I retired. 2021, his first year.
Tom Brokaw
2021 is his first year.
Ryan Seacrest

Tom Brokaw
2021 is his first year.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, yeah, I wouldn't watch. I was in the league.

And he could be on the team, though.
Lester Holt
Yeah, most of them. He's got the skill.
Tom Brokaw
He can get a bucket. His first year in The Clippers was 22.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, I definitely want to watch.
Tom Brokaw

Lester Holt
Basketball. Shout out to Bones, man.
Tom Brokaw
When did we. 23. Yeah, we did.
Ryan Seacrest
23. Yeah. I wasn't watching basketball. Maybe Ryan. I was watching boxing and football.
Lester Holt
I wonder if he one of the people that's just like, maybe if he don't break the rotation at some point, he might go overseas. Because I feel like he's a person who could go overseas and kill. Like, just go.
Tom Brokaw
Who come to the Patriots, bro. You're a Patriots player.
Mooc
He like a bucket. Like a spark.
Tom Brokaw
He's definitely a bucket six, man.
Lester Holt
The defense is wicked, but, like, is he like.
Mooc
Like a Jordan Crawford?
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, okay. Okay. No shit. If you got. You gotta have a certain kind of attitude. If you're that kind of player, you gotta. You gotta be. Yeah, you gotta be a. A good teammate type guy for y' all saying he thought he was better than Jamal. Jamal Murray or whatever.
Mooc
Yeah, he did.
Ryan Seacrest
You can't do it. You can't do that.
Lester Holt
I'm killing this thing in practice, bro. I need some minutes.
Mooc
Yeah, well, chill out.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, you can't start being too social with it. You can't. You ain't bigger than the program. NBA gonna shut that down. They gonna make an example.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, okay. I see. I'll be. I know who he is, and it messed up. I see him working out a better screen.
Lester Holt
Yeah, that was a crazy screen, pj.
Tom Brokaw
God damn.
Ryan Seacrest
PJ Tucker, he was working out with. What's the dude that be in New York? Brickley. Yeah, I see him working out with Brickley.
Tom Brokaw
That's out there sitting on screen.
Lester Holt
That screen was insane, by the way.
Tom Brokaw
Shout out to my guy.
Lester Holt
For sure, man. All right, man. Let's go over some scores in the W. The Bioki's got another dub against the aces. 95 to 68 belt to ass situation. The Aces alarming, man. They are 4 and 3, which is not what they are. Used to be they had a lot of off season changes.
Ryan Seacrest
Man, they dropped the shoe. She dropped the game.
Lester Holt
Damn.
Tom Brokaw
Oh, y' all said she the greatest basketball player.
Ryan Seacrest
She is. She don't care.
Lester Holt
It's not the problem.
Mooc
Yeah, it ain't hurt.
Lester Holt
It ain't her at all. It's still open. But you know skelsie plug.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, they do. But you know what it is. She'll start now. Everybody had. You know, you get that, you start getting all that little. You have a little let down. Oh, man, you know how it is. I told y' all when I made the all star team, I was.
Lester Holt
I'm not putting this on Asia Wilson.
Ryan Seacrest
I'm not putting it on either. But 17 6, they shouldn't be getting.
Mooc
Smacked by them, though.
Tom Brokaw
Ain't that a new team?
Lester Holt
Yes.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, they don't even got a real player.
Lester Holt
Yeah, they going through some.
Ryan Seacrest
They just had picked up anybody.
Lester Holt
The Aces never about to be in a RICO for how they treat their players. We'll talk about that another time.
Ryan Seacrest
Look, the. The Valkyries, they were just like anybody.
Lester Holt
Still hooping the expansion. Hey, could you scroll down, please? No, could you go back? Oh, damn.
Mooc
Crazy name.
Lester Holt
The Valkyries.
Tom Brokaw
I swear, for the line. I thought y' all put typos in this.
Ryan Seacrest
I ain't gonna lie. Valkyries sound like a soccer team for real. The Montreal Valkyrie.
Lester Holt
I thought they still had the Deja Kelly up. They. They use her for social media cloud, bro. They released her from the team. I'm like, at this point, she should probably get some run.
Mooc
Oh, God.
Ryan Seacrest
Hey, Deja Kelly got cut.
Lester Holt
Yeah, she got cut in training camp.
Ryan Seacrest
But boy, the Aces, they wouldn't try and make the team look good.
Lester Holt
And the next game.
Ryan Seacrest
What? I thought y' all said she was the prettiest girl in the league. Y' all ever see the white dude? They be doing all smash tea as well. I'll be crying, laughing. He gonna clip this up like they be watching. He'd be smash.
Lester Holt
Happens to my mom on. That is insane.

Lester Holt
The fever put belt to ass. Gets the sky 79.52.
Ryan Seacrest
Hey, hold on. I'm starting to see Kaylin Clark. She a troll. Because when Angel Reese traveled, there's no reason for her to get that hype with Angel.
Lester Holt
I like. I like your style.
Tom Brokaw
She's a big troll.
Ryan Seacrest
You act like B. Because I would have been od. I would have like run down the.
Tom Brokaw
Sideline like she's walking, shout out to my favorite man back at 4 or 500.
Ryan Seacrest
Every time she missed the layup. I would have just got like super.
Lester Holt
Hyped, like, oh, my God, Reese.
Tom Brokaw
She had 12 boards last night. You know what I mean? So we know she gonna.
Ryan Seacrest
Somebody sent me a video.
Mooc
You know she gonna crash the glass.
Ryan Seacrest
Somebody sent me a video her doing drills.
Tom Brokaw
Oh, Lord.
Ryan Seacrest
Who was that you about?
Mooc
She's working on layups.
Lester Holt
We'll say that for the end of the show. But four points and 12 rebounds? Yeah, that's. We're gonna have to address that. That's out of box.
Tom Brokaw
Okay? That's what I do, bro. I'm the greatest rebounder ever in the wnba.
Ryan Seacrest
You are, though.
Tom Brokaw
She is no real, bro. She is on pace, bro. She is in her second year, has more rebounds than the from 97.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, God. She got her own shoe from boards.
Tom Brokaw
All you gotta do is rebound, bro.
Mooc
Hey, they respected this, man.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. Dennis Robin has on shooting rebound. So is she the. She the girl version of Dennis Robin? No. Yeah.
Tom Brokaw
Yes. Yes, she is, bro.
Lester Holt
Yeah. Disrespectful to this, Robert.
Tom Brokaw
No, I'm not.
Ryan Seacrest
She averaged 12 rebounds.
Lester Holt
He is DPOI.
Mooc
He averaged 20 rebounds, though.
Tom Brokaw
Is that a way we can look up WNBA stats? Like, that's her rebounds she ever should.
Lester Holt
Number one was getting other people shots. She's getting her own.
Tom Brokaw
She.
Ryan Seacrest
She literally she the she the greatest WNBA rebounder of all time.
Lester Holt
I don't disagree.
Mooc
That's a fact.
Lester Holt
Shout already.
Mooc
That's a fact.
Tom Brokaw
Damn, Tina Charge used to get to it.
Mooc
She's cold killing her team. Just sad.
Tom Brokaw
But she be.
Lester Holt
Yeah, she's actually cold.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, Tina. Tina Charles.
Ryan Seacrest
She gonna be there in three years real soon.
Tom Brokaw
Damn.
Ryan Seacrest
4,000Rebounds if the sky keep drafting this bad.
Lester Holt
They've been drafting. Boy, should he get there in year two. I mean year three. God damn, they putting up some bricks.
Ryan Seacrest
These girls don't be having pull her stats all the way up. I don't like talking about Andrew Reese, by the way.
Tom Brokaw
Listen, you know how.
Lester Holt
Yeah, we know.
Tom Brokaw
Hard you gotta play to get 4,000. They only play 12 games.
Ryan Seacrest
532. She got 500 rebounds already.
Tom Brokaw
532.
Lester Holt
She has more rebounds of points in.
Tom Brokaw
Okay, but so did Dennis Robin. Facts. What are you saying?
Ryan Seacrest
No, but I'm saying her whole overall game is Dennis Rodman. Like her whole. Like her brand, everything. Like Dennis Rodman was the biggest player off the court. He was a fucking star. And he was a menace on defense and rebounding. She is Dennis Rodman of the wnba.
Mooc
She's a star.
Ryan Seacrest
I thought I heard somebody say that she was the. She was the Michael Jordan of wnba. Who said that?
Tom Brokaw
What?
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, somebody said that was a.
Tom Brokaw
It was a joke. But somebody said no, she was sitting down with a girl. She was sitting down with another famous girl. I don't know if it was Lotto or one of them that came on the show. Somebody came on the show?
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Tom Brokaw
Another NBA player or wnba.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, somebody said she was a. But I was. I'm. I'm being serious. She's Dennis Rodman of the NBA. Like she a superstar off the court, but her game is Dennis Rodman on the court.
Tom Brokaw
Crash the glass. 12 rebounds, but damn, Tina Charles got 4,000.
Lester Holt
Yeah, she won the ones.
Tom Brokaw
Wow, bro.
Lester Holt
All right, man. Give us something to the sky. Storm took Care of Mercury. 89 to 77. Skylar went crazy. She had 26 and 7. Gabby Williams hooped out as well with 21.
Ryan Seacrest
Damn. She really dropped the Smith on his ass. That's crazy. It's just diggings.
Lester Holt
Act like it ever happened.
Tom Brokaw
Move on alimony, though.
Ryan Seacrest
She gotta pay.
Tom Brokaw
I hope so.
Lester Holt
Oh, he ran it up on her.
Tom Brokaw
Take that Britney Spears route. Shout out to kids.
Lester Holt
Shout out to Sheldon.
Tom Brokaw
Will she me?
Lester Holt
Hey, he ran it up on her. I'M a stay at home dad. Tap in.
DJ Wells
Damn.
Ryan Seacrest
He's.
Lester Holt
And we don't know. We just happen for it. We don't know he win.
Tom Brokaw
Shout out to Scott Hood.
Lester Holt
Man, you had to take care of her. And she had a hell of a celebration too, yesterday. It was funny as shit.
Ryan Seacrest
She turned up on who being divorced.
Lester Holt
Oh, no.
Tom Brokaw
Have a divorce party. Turn it up. So where's she from? They from the bend, right?
Ryan Seacrest
I thought you said he had a divorce party after the game. I said that's crazy.
Lester Holt
No, that is crazy.
Mooc
After the game.
Lester Holt
That is right. Shout out to the celebrations, though. All right, man. In the super chat, the out of pocket variety show says the Wrestlemania of ones will car be him vs Drew Ski Moo vs Smith. Jordan Poole vs Dre. No foul calls. Jamal Crawford vs Kyrie for the main event. Behead vs Drewski as the opening is crazy.
Ryan Seacrest
I like that.
Mooc
Why am I against Russ?
Lester Holt
Let's go.
Ryan Seacrest
Kentucky versus Disrespect to Louisville.
Lester Holt
You gotta see Russ now.
Ryan Seacrest
I like that.
Lester Holt
Jamal Crawford versus Kyrie, man. And they promised that would be a hell of a game.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Lester Holt
Jordan Poole, Vers Draymond. No foul calls.
Ryan Seacrest
No.
Lester Holt
No way.
Tom Brokaw
Kyrie might get Jamal.
Ryan Seacrest
I don't know.
Lester Holt
It's not too many people. I'm gonna take over Kyrie. Even though Jamal is one of the rare occasions in that situation.
Ryan Seacrest
One on one, Jamal Crawford that different.
Tom Brokaw
Jamal might score easier than Kyrie, huh?
Lester Holt
Nah, he might, huh?
Ryan Seacrest
Kyrie Irving that Jamal.
Tom Brokaw
Jamal Carford might score points in the NBA. Jamal averaged some.
Ryan Seacrest
Jamal never really been a starter.
Tom Brokaw
He averaged like 20 before in the NBA.
Ryan Seacrest
Get 50 off the bench is crazy.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah.
Mooc
Multiple times play starter, minutes, bro.
Lester Holt
We're talking about two of the best scores ever.
Ryan Seacrest
He never was the go to person on his team.
Tom Brokaw
Let's stop y' all.
Mooc
That night. He was the go to person.
Ryan Seacrest
He made himself the go to person.
Mooc
He got hot.
Tom Brokaw
That's hard to do, bro.
Mooc
I'm not saying it's not. Kyrie did it too. He had 52.
Ryan Seacrest
I. I think if you put Jamal Crawford on the team, where he get the. Like he get the ball the most of the time. Like when he was with the Knicks and he ran off them crazy numbers on D. Wade and them 17 buckets straight. I think you get him the ball the whole time, y' all ain't gonna win.
Mooc
That's what I was about to say.
Ryan Seacrest
But he can. He can. He can average.
Tom Brokaw
He's in a bucket, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
He can average.
Mooc
30 is incredible, bro. But that is Kyrie Irving, bro, like I.
Tom Brokaw
Listen, stop, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
I'm just saying one on one. Don't clip this up and say we said, who better? We're not saying just one on one.
Mooc
Kyrie will beat him, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
It'll be a good game.
Lester Holt
It'd be a hell of a game. I don't disagree.
Mooc
I'm not taking too many over Kyrie, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
I think they. I actually think they play one on one, though. I think they play one on one. Yeah.
Mooc
He said they played a lot.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Mooc
I mean, of course Jamal can beat him. If they go play 10 times, he gonna win some games. But bro, but I'm taking Kyrie coming out of.
Ryan Seacrest
I don't know if Kyrie can guard him. I.
Mooc
He probably can't. Jamal Crawford is cold.
Lester Holt
Yeah, man, I know that. Jamal can't guard him though, but he can't guard him.
Ryan Seacrest
That's. That's a fact.
Mooc
I think Kyrie might get a stop. Jamal Crawford is getting cooked, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Forget Jamal. Six, five, six, six.
Tom Brokaw
Jamal might get a lucky block.
Ryan Seacrest
Nah.
Tom Brokaw
On a jump shot.
Lester Holt
Hey, bro, I seen Kyrie Irving. Left hand leg, seven footers, bro. I feel a little bit confident.
Tom Brokaw
Y' all know how crazy Jamal Crawford mixtape is. No, bro. Jamal Crawford's 20 years in the NBA.
Mooc
He's really good at basketball.
Lester Holt
If it wasn't Kyrie Irving, I would be taking Jamal Crawford. It's just Kyrie.
Tom Brokaw
Big guards guarding him too.
Mooc
He is cold.
Tom Brokaw
Not no little guarding. Kyrie did his damage.
Ryan Seacrest
One on one, bruh.
Lester Holt
It'd be hell of a game. It ain't problems. I would love it.
Ryan Seacrest
I ain't gonna lie. That gonna be a toss up. You gotta think Jamal Crawford when he was in his prime, when he was. When he first got in the league, a lot of shit that people get to do now, it was frowned upon.
Lester Holt
That's a fact.
Ryan Seacrest
Like shooting, pull up threes and transitioning shit. But that shit, he was looked at as a bad player. Cause of some of that shit. Like you put Jamal Crawford when he first got in the league in today's NBA or even like in 2012. 13, bro, he had been a superstar. Like the shit he was doing was frowned upon. Ice on. People crossing, pulling three person like him in the NBA and people thought he was an N1 player. People wasn't with it. If you sit that Jamal Crawford in this league, bro, he going to look crazy.
Mooc
Yeah, he is.
Ryan Seacrest
Like, we talk about Nim Hard doing that move the other day. That. Man, that was every play.
Tom Brokaw
Exactly, bro.
Mooc
That's a follow by a bucket I'm not.
Tom Brokaw
He scored 50 playing around, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
He scored 50 at 40.
Mooc
That's how he hoop.
Tom Brokaw
But I'm saying though, that's what Jeff is saying. That's not. You don't want to teach your kid. Like when you coming into the NBA, they're telling you, we don't care what you do, but don't play like this.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, for real.
Mooc
You're not as good as him, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
He scored 50 his last game in the NBA. He had 50 points. The was 40 years old.
Mooc
Kyrie dancing around and too, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, but it was two of the.
Lester Holt
Best people to ever dribble a basketball.
Ryan Seacrest
That's a fact. But I'm saying what Kyrie was doing was Jamal wasn't allowed to do. Like, it was frowned upon. Like when Jamal. I came in the league 17 years ago. Jamal was in the league damn near 25, 26 years ago.
Lester Holt
Yeah, like you had to go to.
Ryan Seacrest
The elbow and make a 15 footer and make. And keep it simple.
Tom Brokaw
I just don't want y' all to think it's sweet. I said I picked Kyrie.
Mooc
I do not think it's sweet.
Tom Brokaw
But a getting 50 like that in that NBA back then, when they can do all that fouling and face guard and bodyguard and all that, bro, it's hard.
Lester Holt
We gotta move on. That's a good conversation.
Ryan Seacrest
Jamal's the one player. I think if you drop him right now, he'll still be. I'm not saying it's not more people, but I just know for a fact if you drop Jamal Crawford rookie year, right now, he everything in the NBA. He the most exciting player.
Lester Holt
I agree. One of the best six men of all time. For sure. Todorreus in the super chat said, Jeff and Moot, who is your favorite high school tournament coming up? And y' all have any favorite matchup? Plus, when y' all gonna cover high school basketball? If so, how would you guys go about it? Yeah, we got some things coming along for the preps up and coming stars. Stay tuned for show. But that question is for you two gentlemen.
Mooc
Best high school tournament probably Peace Jam.
Ryan Seacrest
I'm older than them, so I guess it's Peace Jam now. I wouldn't. I wasn't a part of that growing up, but I had that big time. Yeah, we had big time. We was in Vegas with it. But when I was growing up, everybody played. You ain't have like tournaments like Nike only go here if you was good. You're the top team. Y' all went to the same tournament. Like you might have been sponsored by Nike. But you will go to a Reebok tournament. Like Mean Streets was sponsored by Nike? Yeah, they was at Vegas.
Mooc
See, mine was like that. Halfway through, then it switched, like, on the back end of my high school career switch to everybody start going to their own. At first, everybody just played.
Ryan Seacrest
I think that's whack now, though. And then I know it's a shoe thing and a sponsor thing.
Lester Holt
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
But I think it just, like, you don't gotta. You go to the right circle, you ain't gotta run to nobody.
Tom Brokaw
That's a fact.
Mooc
Like, if you play for Under Armour.
Ryan Seacrest
You ain't running good shit.
Mooc
You don't gotta play nobody. But you want to play everybody, though.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, but if you.
Mooc
The kids is now, they don't want to play.
Ryan Seacrest
No, they don't. It's crazy. I never understood that, bro. They don't want to play people. And then they also post everybody.
Mooc
You know, the craziest thing to me was when they always playing their age group. I'm like, y' all don't all play 17s, bro.
Lester Holt
Yeah, that is wild.
Mooc
I'm like, that. That's crazy, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, it is kind of crazy. Like, I'm killing the AAU. You're playing 15 year olds and you're actually 16.
Mooc
I just like, y' all don't want to play Cooper flag, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Tom Brokaw
I mean, ain't nothing but varsity basketball.
Ryan Seacrest
That's all it is.
Mooc
What we say, like, it's the same thing, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, I play varsity. When y' all go to high school.
Lester Holt
Well, I'm sure. When did you stop playing 14, 15? You. You was probably on the 17U team. Probably when we got to high school.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. Yeah. Immediately we played 17. When we was 8th grade.
Mooc
I played 8th grade. I almost played Brandon Jennings, bro, when he was in his last year of high school. We just got beat. We played.
Tom Brokaw
We got played.
Mooc
I was in eighth grade, and I was playing on an eighth grade team. I was playing with PJ and him just played up.
Ryan Seacrest
That's how we was. We got. I forgot the dude that went to Tennessee and Iowa. He went to Iowa first and ended up going to Tennessee. But we played them when I was in eighth grade. That nigga like LeBron James. Who the fuck is that?
Mooc
We was probably Gonna lose by 100 points, but we was about to play them.
Tom Brokaw
We played Southern Cal. They done got to it, bro.
Mooc
We was kids, bro. We was all twins.
Tom Brokaw
Elbow to the head, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
We was playing, buddy. I forgot the dude name, bro. Phil, remembering. But we Was playing him and we was up 15. They coach. He was going to prep school. He wasn't even. He was a senior going to prep school. He was like. They coach was like, these are kids. What are y' all doing? We are 15.
Lester Holt
We laugh.
Ryan Seacrest
You know?
Lester Holt
Us like, yeah, we about to beat these. They sad. We know.
Ryan Seacrest
We think everybody's sad from different states when we play.
Lester Holt
Y' all.
Ryan Seacrest
Like, ever since I went to ABCD camp, all that is fugazi to me. I'll be like, they can't hoop. For real.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
So that's how we feel. Nah, that's how we felt because, you know, we was a team. Like, we gonna guard you and all that, man. That turned LeBron James. They start running us over, dunking that. We lost about 15. I was like, all right. They like, yeah, he going wherever he want to go. Yeah, damn. You know, us and my dad, they only. They. They just going to high school.
Lester Holt
They gonna be freshmen.
Tom Brokaw
That's crazy, bro.
Lester Holt
Yeah, man, that exposure is lost, man. Kids definitely want to play that age group. Sad to see is what it is, though. Flow of substance in the super chat says. Hey, fellas, any thoughts on the two billion dollar settlement and the rules change on schools being allowed to pay. Pay athletes directly. Yes. This is crazy. Mooc tap in. They are having some retroactive pay as well, man.
Mooc
Said it's only the 2016, bro.
Lester Holt
Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry to hear that, brother. But if you was in there, 2016, tap in.
Ryan Seacrest
Well, I mean, how did. How did they come out with that year, though?
Mooc
That's what I'm saying. Why that specific year?
Lester Holt
What we can afford, realistically? That's probably the point.
Ryan Seacrest
Probably that a. That's going to be $1,000 for, like, everybody.
Mooc
Because it's for girls, too.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Mooc
It ain't just dudes.
Lester Holt
For the entire program.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, it's for girls.
Ryan Seacrest

Tom Brokaw
They about to get a G. I don't know. A lot of died, so I need a little more.
Lester Holt
I don't think they gonna put that church's pot.
Ryan Seacrest
Cause you gotta pay. How much you think it is?
Tom Brokaw
520, 000 students times 4.
Ryan Seacrest
2 million. Carry the one divided by a billion.
Lester Holt
Use your pinky.
Mooc
The that died, they go put that back. For sure they're not passing that out.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah, bro, Them that Passed away.
Lester Holt
But you look at it now. What's the rule now? You can pay your roster is what, dana, up to 20, 20.5. Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
That's the whole school though, right?
Mooc
I think so.
Tom Brokaw
Jesus Christ.
Ryan Seacrest
So you got to think football going to take 75% of the money.
Lester Holt
Then basketball, if you good though. No, football take all the money anyway because of the TV deals and shit.
Mooc
People too.
Ryan Seacrest
So it's up to 20 million, right? It's the cap. Yes. Is that for the school or the per school? First school. So you got to pay the football team 75%. All the top players going to the Big East. In basketball, they got no football teams. No football teams.
Tom Brokaw
That's what I'm saying. If you.
Ryan Seacrest
So it's. It's pretty much a rap. Yeah. SEC is dead.
Mooc
Big ten.
Ryan Seacrest
Big Ten low key dead.
Lester Holt
Nah. Big ten going to be solid.
Ryan Seacrest
Nah, bro, if you only got a.
Lester Holt
Cap for 20 million, that alumni basis though going. That's just from.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, I'm saying. So the nil going to have to step up.
Lester Holt
Oh, it will for sure.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh yeah.
Tom Brokaw
They ain't going to lose them. Big ten is not losing their kids.
Ryan Seacrest
But nigga, if I'm. I'm a player, I'm going to the Big East. They have no football. Especially like who don't got a team at all? Xavier. No, Xavier.
Tom Brokaw

Ryan Seacrest
Boom. Don't have a football team. I don't think.
Mooc
Free bands.
Ryan Seacrest
Free bands, bro.
Tom Brokaw
Yeah. I never heard of a going to Xavier to play football.
Ryan Seacrest
I think they don't have a football team.
Lester Holt
But I believe.
Ryan Seacrest
I don't think they have a football team matter. They don't have a football team.
Lester Holt
The funny thing about that though is like you said, you get directed from the school now. Hey, you could probably still get your nil.
Ryan Seacrest
You will get your nil.
Mooc
That's where you make it. That's where you gonna make your bread at nil.
Ryan Seacrest
But I'm sure it got something to do with revenue though.
Mooc
Get your sponsors and all this, bro.
Ryan Seacrest
Dang, 1972 is the last time football team.
Mooc
Oh yeah, they done giving 3 million though.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, but, but if you go to Xavier, you can get 600000 when you only could probably get 250 from some other skills.
Mooc
Getting 250 now. And they mad, bro. They like, we got 250. They like what, bro? Like that's a lot of money.
Ryan Seacrest
A told me the other day, man, that offered me 80 bands. Like what bro said, boy, you, you go to. I don't want to say where you Going crazy.

Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. 16. I thought you like a band.
Mooc
Yeah, they put that 2.7 billion to make it sound good.
Tom Brokaw

Ryan Seacrest
Damn. You know what's crazy? I had got $7,000 from when I was on that M. March Madness game for real.
Tom Brokaw

He said, bro, I made 26 in there. I ain't got time for none of this.

Club 520 Podcast: Episode 520 In The Morning - Jeff Teague Reacts to Thunder Beating Pacers in NBA Finals Game 2
Hosts:
Release Date: June 9, 2025
In this electrifying episode of the Club 520 Podcast, NBA All-Star Jeff Teague teams up with his longtime friends DJ Wells, Bishop B Henn, and Mooc to dissect the Oklahoma City Thunder's commanding victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals. Dropping at 5:20 AM on June 9, 2025, the hosts dive deep into the game's pivotal moments, standout performances, and strategic maneuvers that shaped the outcome.
The Thunder delivered a dominant performance, securing a 123-107 win against the Pacers. From the outset, Oklahoma City showcased superior execution and defensive prowess, leaving little room for the Pacers to mount a comeback.
Notable Quote:
DJ Wells [02:27]: "Feeling great, man. It was a wonderful sports weekend, man."
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA): An MVP-caliber performance with 34 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Lester Holt [02:24]: "MVP SGA went crazy. 34, 8 and 5."
Jalen Williams: Contributed solidly with 19 points.
Lester Holt [02:27]: "Jalen Williams had 19, man."
Alex Caruso: Delivered a standout game with 20 points.
Lester Holt [02:30]: "Alex Caruso had 20."
Aaron Wiggins: Also in double figures with 20 points.
Lester Holt [02:33]: "Aaron Wiggins balled out yesterday, man. Showed up, went crazy."
Hal Burton: Presented a misleading statistical line with 17 points.
Lester Holt [02:38]: "Hal Burton had a very misleading 17 yesterday."
Seakum: Added 15 points and 7 assists.
Lester Holt [02:40]: "Seakum had 15 and 7, man."
Despite the loss, certain Pacers players showed moments of brilliance:
Miles: Emerged as the only significant contributor with a late-game surge.
Lester Holt [05:55]: "Only person who really hooped out was Miles. Miles hooped out in the third. He held us down, tried to give us a comeback."
Obi: Struggled offensively, going 1 for 8.
Tom Brokaw [06:19]: "Obi going 1 for 8 was definitely not the vibes that shit at all."
The Thunder's strategy focused on intense defense and controlling the game's tempo. Their defensive rotations effectively stifled key Pacers players, particularly Tyrese Halliburton (Tyrese), limiting his aggressiveness and offensive impact.
Notable Quote:
Mooc [03:11]: "Flat out, it was locking up, bro. Yeah, everybody came to hoop."
The Pacers employed a physical defensive approach, attempting to disrupt Thunder's rhythm. However, this led to excessive fouling and turnovers, ultimately benefiting the Thunder's offense.
Notable Quote:
Lester Holt [03:52]: "They called it one backer, too. He shot two of them, though."
Tyrese's performance was a focal point of discussion. His passivity in Game 2 raised concerns about his ability to lead under Finals pressure.
Notable Quotes:
Ryan Seacrest [06:00]: "Is it? I mean, obviously, we know he has a history with this, but also, OKC has made some of the best players in the NBA look real passive."
Ryan Seacrest [05:36]: "I've seen last night, they were just like, you know, it's okay because a lot of superstars have had bad finals games. Now, this is alarming because you just wasn't aggressive."
The Thunder's offense thrived on open shots and effective ball movement. SGA's ability to score and facilitate created opportunities for his teammates, while the Pacers struggled to find their offensive footing.
Notable Quote:
Lester Holt [09:03]: "When Tyrese is playing at a high clip, everybody else is getting open shots."
With the series now tied at 1-1, the focus shifts to Game 3. Teague remains optimistic about the Thunder's ability to capitalize on their momentum, while others remain cautiously hopeful for the Pacers to bounce back.
Notable Quotes:
Mooc [09:18]: "I think we gonna win game three, bro. Everybody gonna turn up. We at home, role players gonna make shots. Tyrese gonna turn up. I think we got game three, bro."
Ryan Seacrest [05:48]: "We know they have not lost back to back games in a long, long time this season. I wouldn't expect them to happen now. But optimism going back home split with a good team."
