[Bishop]

I know. I just like the players, bro. I ain't. I'm not a fan of none of these teams, bro. I could care less.

[DJ Wells]

But you know, it's funny. People really get offended if you wear another team's logo. Like, bro, maybe I just like this.

Like, I'm a Pacer fan.

Shout out to the Thunder, man. Going to the NBA Finals, man. I know we watched a little bit of the game, but. Oh, shit, it's not even much to talk about.

[Mook Teague]

We've seen this from the last game, though.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. When you go down three one, you go down three one, man. It's like, if you don't got LeBron.

[Bishop]

But do you just say, forget it though? Like, most people will?

[Mook Teague]

Unless you got LeBron. You shouldn't say that. But most people gonna be like, bro, it's over, bro.

[Bishop]

So it ain't even about people being tired. It's just a matter of we can't.

[Mook Teague]

Why we down three one, bro. We can't come back Bro, well, you.

[DJ Wells]

Know, like, when you got LeBron, you remember the guy I told you that beat us? That dude? You could come back from three one. Yeah.

[Mook Teague]

You can do anything.

[Bishop]

That's it.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, you. But you remember how low said LeBron? Yeah. You know, you right. You got LeBron. Some things can happen.

I mean. Yeah. You know what I'm saying now a comeback has happened this way. Un. In favor of OKC before. You know what I'm saying? That three one. But that also generation.

What's his name? Steph.

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

Yeah. Wardell's on that team.

Okay.

He ain't just walking through Minnesota's doors.

[Bishop]

That's what's about to happen tonight, man. About to reel it back tonight, man.

[Mook Teague]

You heard what he just said. LeBron ain't in that locker room, bro.

[DJ Wells]

And Wardell does not play in New York.

[Bishop]

How far off is LeBron? And Cat.

[DJ Wells]

He'S having fun today.

Light years.

He's bringing the smoke.

[Bishop]

How far is LeBron and Jay? LeBron.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, God.

You can combine both of them together and still have a little ways to go.

For sure. You still wouldn't have LeBron. Damn. You combine them together, you still wouldn't have LeBron.

[Bishop]

I definitely didn't think they was gonna beat them like this, though, bro.

[Mook Teague]

I did.

[Bishop]

For real, bro.

[DJ Wells]

That first quarter, bro. When it was 25 to 7. Yeah. That's nasty.

[Mook Teague]

Nine points, bro.

[DJ Wells]

The T Wolves is a. They play well. I told you when series first started. They play well against old teams.

[Mook Teague]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Slow teams. I was like, they met, they match. They got a young team just like them that play harder and faster than them. Like, they met, they match.

[Bishop]

Yep.

[DJ Wells]

And they just was like, the talent. They got a talented team, the T Wolves, but they really don't. They got. Anthony Edwards is really good. Jay McDaniels is great. He's a good player. He's not like a superstar, not an all star, but he's a really good player. And then the rest of the guys are just role players, like your starting center. Role player. Nas Reed's a good player.

Role player, Max. Yo, starting center.

Yeah. Yo. $200 million center is a role player. And he's not. He's not effective at all. Really.

[Mook Teague]

Start being back to his old ways.

[DJ Wells]

Julius Randle is a good player, but he's not a superstar. Like, he's not a. All NBA.

[Mook Teague]

Every year got like it for a little bit.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. But I'm saying, you know, he had half spurts where he. Like that.

[Mook Teague]

But he went back to his old Ways.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. End of the season, early playoff. Julius Randle was hooping when he came back from the injury. They got the ball rolling for them for sure. But yeah, spooky this series.

Yeah.

[Bishop]

But then another superstar.

[DJ Wells]

Just superstars. Yeah. But Mike Conley, you know, as much as we love Mike, he in his 18th year. He is the ultimate role player. McKill Alexander Walker, role player. They have to find somebody who has star written on them or star potential, which I think they can. And Rob Dillingham, I think he could be dynamic if they ever playing. I think he has that potential. But like the thing about the Thunder, they have that Chet has all star potential. Jalen Williams already all star, all NBA player, sga, mvp. They had to build them to that. But they did it in that right. Right now they're flourishing and them don't have that.

[Mook Teague]

They gonna need another superstar too. Just so teams can't guard them how OKC was guarding them. They took ae out the game and they was done.

[DJ Wells]

They need a dynamic player though. And I'm like, I keep saying Rob Dillingham cause he owned a team but you know he can create for himself. Get a bucket, he can do some shit like they had nobody else that can create. Yeah, like Niki Alexander Walker is a catch and shoot player. He can drive the cat, you know, drive the club, get a layup. Dante Shooter, you need somebody that can put it on the ground a little. A dynamic player. They just don't got that. And Julius Randle supposed to be dynamic, but I told you he's just a bully.

[Mook Teague]

Bully ball.

[DJ Wells]

And he ain't really dynamic like that.

[Bishop]

Like he was on that this series though. Didn't seem like he was on that bully.

[DJ Wells]

He was on nothing.

[Bishop]

He wasn't on nothing.

[Mook Teague]

I mean he tried it with Lou Dort, he seen he couldn't and it was over. It was over. That's all I got.

[DJ Wells]

He couldn't bully Jalen Williams.

Yeah, he's had two single digit games this series. That ain't gonna cut it. The other ones he scored 20, but man, 28 and 6, 24 then 5. They need a little bit more consistency that to get past this rbc.

He's just not dynamic enough. And that's my, like that was just my only problem with them. But that's my same problem with New York. They got quality players, but if you look at them, they role players. Mikel Bridges at one point in time was a go to player, but he don't get that same look. But he not dynamic enough with the Basketball to make Jalen Brunson slide over to the two a little bit. Like, hey, you gonna catch and shoot tonight? You gonna have to get some open. Catch and shoots. They don't have nobody on their team that's dynamic enough to just do that. And that's one thing the Pacers do. Even though TJ Nash, he not the most appealing person. Like, oh, my God, when I think about a bucket. But he can create most definitely. Yeah. You know what I mean? He is a creator out there. He.

[Mook Teague]

He pushed that tempo.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he a creator.

And he's the type of point guard, if you give him anybody who can roll off a screen, he will be a problem.

Yeah, creator. He's definitely a creator. Nobody else like that is really a creator.

[Mook Teague]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

So it's kind of like that's what make Indiana still go with. Tyrese was even out. He still, you know, he'll have a game. He got 20 and 10. And you don't really see that with Minnesota.

I wanted to ask y' all this question. Obviously, big off season for them. You know, Julius Randall probably's gonna opt in, but more money. He's played well this season, especially in the postseason. Nas Reid looking to get more bread. You talk about getting that next dynamic piece. Where should it come from? What position you think it should be? I mean, you got Rob Dillingham and the Wings. Do you go get another guard, or do you need to get another wing to play? As I. Even though he got Jay McDaniels.

They got.

[Bishop]

They gave the or, bro. Just need somebody else to me.

[DJ Wells]

Okay, you say it don't even matter just as long as one of them needs somebody else.

I think they got it in house, man. I think they gotta let Rob play.

[Mook Teague]

They do. They gotta at least see, bro. They gotta see he got the talent to do it, bro.

[DJ Wells]

They gotta give him a chance.

I like him and Terence Shannon Jr. The young guns. Next year, that could be a bench up right there, too.

They gotta get younger, more energy.

[Mook Teague]

I like that, bro. They gotta give him a chance.

[DJ Wells]

And they gotta change the way they play a little bit. Even though they push the pace, they gotta push it like the Pacers.

[Mook Teague]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Like, y' all gotta be up like. You see that? Yeah. And I think they gonna have to get off. I like Rudy Gobert, but they gonna have to get off. Rudy Gobert. Ain't nobody gonna sign him. I mean, take that contract. Maybe the Lakers.

Shit.

[Bishop]

Yeah, somebody might, though.

[DJ Wells]

Lakers would somebody.

[Bishop]

But you need something for that.

[DJ Wells]

He just don't fit what they Got going on right now.

[Bishop]

Yeah, you gotta fulfill that role, bro.

[DJ Wells]

And I shouldn't say that. Cause they made it to the Western Conference finals.

[Mook Teague]

But seeing them play OKC make you.

[DJ Wells]

Be like, all right, yeah, this ain't gonna work. Like, bro, we got Caruso switching on.

[Mook Teague]

Rudy can't get over the hump. This ain't gonna work.

[DJ Wells]

Caruso was switching on.

[Bishop]

That's a big loss. Yeah, he out of pocket for the Caruso.

[DJ Wells]

Alex Caruso really being the big. It's crazy because, I mean, he was switching on yoke, so. Yeah, I'm gonna respect his postgame skills right now.

Yeah, you right.

But that's nasty.

Rudy Kobert. It was not. It was.

[Bishop]

I know how I feel about it. He can go to the mad ends.

[DJ Wells]

For all I said.

[Bishop]

I'm just saying it's hard to fulfill that role that he, like, he actually locking up in the paint during the season. Yeah, he hold it down. So we gotta fill that in with.

[DJ Wells]

He did have 27 to 24 against Lakers and elimination, which is Lakers.

[Mook Teague]

Hey, Jeff, if. If the Knicks had Tyus Jones, you think that'll help? Give him that little extra push off.

[DJ Wells]

The bench and then take.

[Mook Teague]

He could put Brunson to the side a little bit.

[DJ Wells]

I'm gonna tell you this. No. Ty Jones do a type of Tyus Jones and tips. Oh, nah, they did that. They did that act before. Yeah, but Tyus, I get what you're saying. Cause he can play. He can make plays. He can do that. But I think they need, like, it sound crazy. I get what you going with Tyus Jones. I get that they need, like, CP might be a little too old. He's too old, bro. But they need somebody like that that'll, like, demand it. Like, Tyus Jones will get out there. He can do it, but he ain't gonna demand it. They need somebody who kind of demanding. Like, they need like, Jordan Clarkson or like, somebody who can still play the point, can score, but kind of demanding. I don't know. I can't think of nobody who's kind of demanding of the ball like.

Or that would command that respect.

Yeah, like, I need. We need to get him to rock to be special.

[Mook Teague]

P would be. I mean, obviously, that'd be perfect if he was younger. Cause he gonna be like, hey, y' all tripping.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, go here. Jalen, come off of here.

[Bishop]

Do this okc. Chris Paul B, man, like, he would.

[DJ Wells]

Be dynamic for them. But I can't think of nobody that could even be like that. Like, even like Dennis Schroeder would be good for them. Yeah, yeah, I can see that. You know what I mean? But even though he probably gonna stay in Detroit. Cause he was great for Detroit, but he would be good for the Knicks. Like they need somebody like that when they get on the court. He going. He kind of demand the ball a little bit.

[Bishop]

Nah, he do.

[DJ Wells]

He do like. He push.

[Mook Teague]

He don't care.

[Bishop]

He can run the team.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he gonna shoot and he'll push Cade to the side a little bit. But they need somebody else that can create.

Man, I couldn't imagine a bigger villain than Chris Paul in New York where they put Chris Paul in the Knicks uniform.

I wish CP was like five years younger, man. He'd be perfect.

Okay. See Chris Paul in that situation would change him into immediate title contender for sure.

Yeah, bro.

All right, man. Let's slide to the super chat for a second lake show. 1996 says Ant Man, Batman, Superman, OKC and five Lakers Nation. Welcome to T Woods. Their fans and a enjoying us in Cancun.

Jaylen Brunson N between the legs, hesitation move or something. I don't know everybody. You sad, bro. I Don't know. That's just a move that we did in our crib. Yeah, he did.

[Bishop]

He called. He called him sad. I got game. I got game.

[DJ Wells]

You asking me for moves, bro? You sad, bro.

I can see if you was a.

Young man and you was like 20, you know, 18, like, what can I do? Yeah, you know, coach, should I have 35? You sad, bro? You sad, bro.

[Bishop]

He said he wanted a slower car.

[DJ Wells]

20 under, bro. If you. If you a.

[Bishop]

That's why that training dead man. Horrible example.

[Mook Teague]

Nobody train no 30 year old.

[DJ Wells]

You sad, bro. You sad.

That's like with the Jordan K. You sad, bro.

I can't give you no hell. You 30, bro.

You said, that's nasty. All right. But Eric Will said J look like injuries. With all due respect, he has no moves. That was definitely disrespectful. Any talking about all the respect is. Know me disrespect. Give us J.R. all right. Alexander Grace said they better than the 2015 Hawks. And the micro can't guard SGA.

Nobody can guard SGA. Y' all missing the whole point. He's getting 30 on everybody.

[Bishop]

Yeah, he never said they can guard him.

[Mook Teague]

When it come to win, I never say stop the Superstars, man.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, bro, that's. We're not dumb. That's the problem. Like, we're not going to double. We're not going to do stupid. We going to make Lou dork. He went 4 for 10. He gonna have to go 5 for 25 against us. He's gonna shoot every shot. This how I know we did that to Kevin Love. And Kevin love is a 10 times better shooter than Lou Dork. Kevin Love was a supreme shooter. And we said, fuck it. We gonna double Braun. We gonna make Kevin Love hit 10 threes.

[Mook Teague]

That sound crazy, too.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's how good Bron was. And Kevin Love, that nigga ended up hitting like, seven threes. That's what I'm saying.

We like, fuck it.

All right, next game, Cheddar Fry. Cheddar fry hit seven threes. We like, damn it. J.R. smith.

J.R. smith threes. We like.

Goddamn.

[Bishop]

We gotta live with that, though.

[DJ Wells]

But, Lord, we just gotta take it because Paul's like, they all made their shots.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Cause you know who you can't stop.

Yeah.

[Mook Teague]

LeBron gonna do.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, but we.

I would live a Lou Dork for sure.

No shade.

[Bishop]

We need them real breakdowns, though.

[DJ Wells]

No, for sure. All right, one more time. Super chat local said, Jeff, what pizza advice you always share with rookies that you play with. Also, shout out To DJ Behead, go podcast Untouchable.

I used to share with rookies, man, Always be the first one in the gym and be the last one to leave. Never be late to anything and be excited every single day. You can never have a bad day as a rookie. You can never come in a gym and be like, man, we here. You always got to have great energy. And I tell all young players that anytime you step in the gym, your energy got to be at a high level. I don't give a fuck if you're getting recruited by the best colleges in the world. Anytime you step in the gym, your energy gotta be high. Because that's what people look at. If you got good vibes and good energy, they automatically are drawn to you. If you walk around with your hood up and your head down and I'm untouchable, nobody say a word to me. Or you just look like you got an attitude. People just don't want to be around that. Like, who he think he is? Like, he think he the one. Like, don't you know, I coached. They start running them off on you. Like, imagine if you went to Arkansas and you walk around like that. Who you think you are? You know, I coach Anthony Davis, John Wall, Marcus T. I can run them off.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't seen this before. And kids don't realize that we all seen y' all before. Somebody's been you before. Like I tell kids at our school, you're never gonna be greater than Marcus. Everything you wanna do, Marcus did it.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

McDonald's USA Jordan game, top five. I seen it before. And he lived in the house with me. So you don't impress me.

[Bishop]

True.

[DJ Wells]

You know what I mean? So it's like you can have energy, bro. Hold on.

[Bishop]

How you give this Rico Han speech to the Rookie. But my 30 year old bull as a slower guard asked for one move.

[DJ Wells]

His life is over. His basketball life is done.

[Bishop]

He just gave this amazing speech. My boy asked for one move.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

I told him to go see his life.

[DJ Wells]

His basketball life is done.

[Mook Teague]

If you ain't already got that move, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, your life is done.

Trying to get The Hensy at 30 is crazy.

Yeah, done. It was Mike, Mike.

Trying to get Mike Burner.

It was Mike Burner account. He do got a one on one game tonight. It was Mike.

Oh, Nasty Mike sent the five minutes trying to figure out how to beat bout.

[Bishop]

That's crazy. Lame ass.

[DJ Wells]

That's wrong.

And the fact you only think we were $5 for a question as employee here is crazier. Mike I got you. Step back to the left, y' all. That's fr. But listen, man, the Timber Wolves, they went out a little bit sad, but they had a hell of a season, you know what I'm saying? Offseason. Made a big trade after being back here, back to back. Western Conference finals, regardless of the roster. I know a lot of people put a lot of smart on AE's name right now. But realistically, man, what's the next step for them next year? They gotta retool the roster.

[Bishop]

They just told you they want to let Rob. Let Rob.

[Mook Teague]

Rob.

[DJ Wells]

They got to let him play, man.

[Mook Teague]

I don't see why not, though.

[DJ Wells]

I love Mike, but, like, Mike.

[Mook Teague]

Mike probably won't Rob to play.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, Mike probably Mike. Mike's still a quality player, but he. He done.

[Mook Teague]

Yeah, he probably like, man, it's your time, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, well, Mike, 37.

Yeah.

Been a long time, though. 18 years.

[Mook Teague]

Great career, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Like what, he averaged eight. Yeah, like eight ain't. As a starting point guard right now, in this generation, eight ain't. Eight ain't gonna get it.

[Mook Teague]

You can come off the bench and give us eight.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, eight ain't gonna get it. As the start.

I could get that 8 off the bench for sure.

Oh, yeah, for sure. He can do that again next year, but that ain't. That can't be the starting guard. Not now.

That's understandable. Now, with Rob, do y' all think he about to go kill in the summer league? Is that, like, the trajectory? What does Rob have to do to be like, all right, I'm ready for this role, and they definitely need to.

[Mook Teague]

See him in a row in the summer league.

[DJ Wells]

So he gonna kill the summer league.

[Mook Teague]

I mean, that don't really matter. Summer league don't matter. But I'm just saying it'll get him off to a good start.

[DJ Wells]

He gets stronger, and then he just gotta be, like, demanding, bro. He gotta come in. You can't be denied, bro. Yeah, like, I remember having that same type of moment where you don't get to play as a rookie your second year. He gonna have some up and down moments, but he just gotta show flashes of like. Yeah, like, okay, yeah, but they gotta give him a chance, though.

[Mook Teague]

He gotta guard. That'd be a lot of his problem. Why they don't wanna play him? Cause he's small. He don't guard good.

[DJ Wells]

He just got. Yeah, he's gotta guard. He gotta take that T.J. mcConnell role. I tell anybody that come in the league, a young player, he's small. But Go be feisty like him. Pick up full court. Just be annoying defensively. If you can be annoying, people will start overlooking you. Get a couple steals in the back court. Make a person turn it over, get a charge some. They look. They look past some shit. Like nobody, bro. Nobody really noticed that TJ be getting cooked. Yeah.

[Mook Teague]

Cause it looked like he out there going through a wall.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. But like, if you really go see when TJ get like a man to man and half court be like Jalen Brunson be bumped. He's too little.

But yo, full court press the whole entire time. He had to free the line, everybody. All right, Bucket time. I see you there.

[Mook Teague]

But it's easy, bucket. But to what he's saying, it look.

[DJ Wells]

Look good. Yeah.

[Mook Teague]

Picking up food.

[DJ Wells]

He had knocked the ball away from you a couple times.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[Mook Teague]

Get hyped.

[DJ Wells]

Like you said, the energy is there, bro.

That's the most you trying. Yeah, for sure.

But man, hell of a season for the Timber ws. We'll talk about what they can do a little bit later in the show.

So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them, it's the right thing to do. But we all know Degree Cool Rush deodorant. Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans, the grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other 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 OG formula. One guy even started an online petition and degree listen. They admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent back and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one Ms. Anti Perspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about.

Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree cool rush for yourself.

You told me who was gonna be at the WBA game, so I was figuring out that you probably would understand.

[Bishop]

Oh, man, I don't know, man. I don't know.

[DJ Wells]

Like if you was the bet because you know you got the crash out parlays. If that was on a crash out, what would we consider a zesty?

[Bishop]

Oh, Katina, Mo, we said relax, okay?

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to casino. He see the future.

[Bishop]

I ain't doing that with y' all today, okay? I've been going viral.

[DJ Wells]

All right. In the real cooking wig.

[Bishop]

That got me in trouble too.

[DJ Wells]

That's a dangerous song to sing in your house. Be careful.

Is that boyfriend adept or didn't he?

[Bishop]

Yeah, he left her, bro. That's crazy.

[DJ Wells]

They crashed out parlay. He got lit on his twitch and said, yeah, did my job. You're out of here.

Shout out to shrimp University them homes. One weekend at a time. In the rare case that the Knicks do win tonight, what they gotta do to get the dub? See, Cat is questionable tonight.

Ah, yeah, they lost.

[Bishop]

That's why I thought I said people questionable.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he gonna play, bro.

[Bishop]

He has to bro that damn knee when he fail. This sad, bro. How you just that uncoordinated, bro? It's crazy.

[DJ Wells]

He do a lot of like flare, like flare flop. Flaring and flopping them to hurt himself every time.

[Mook Teague]

He better play or they are going to get blew out.

[Bishop]

Yeah, if he don't play, it's. It's smoke.

[DJ Wells]

I think Jayla Brunson going to gain their goal for 50 tonight.

[Mook Teague]

I can see that.

[DJ Wells]

That's the only way they going to win tonight. Jay must have to have One of them Epic Games. 44, 45, 50 point game.

Yeah. Just do. Don't pass. Just kill, get 50, don't pass.

I like O.J.

[Bishop]

Got to go crazy. I'm O.J. oG gotta go crazy, too.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

He can get 20 and then we gonna beat y' all 90 to 120 because ain't nobody else gonna shoot the ball.

[Bishop]

I'm for real, bro. I really don't see y' all blowing him, blowing him out in the garden.

[DJ Wells]

We don't gotta blow him out. We just gotta win.

[Bishop]

I don't think I gonna win tonight, bro.

[Mook Teague]

One point.

[DJ Wells]

I don't see him blowing them out either, but I'll see if don't play, though.

[Mook Teague]

I see a blowout, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't gonna lie. I just think the series is over.

It is. It's a matter of time at this point. Okay, but if we got here and whoop their ass, we really. We really send a message if we blow them out.

Okay, well, let's look. Let's look past this game then.

Yeah.

What y' all gonna do with the Thunder? I wanna hear from a Pacer fan.

Yes, sir.

Who's locked in.

Yes, sir.

What are y' all gonna do to win game one against the Thunder?

What are we gonna do to do Game one? I think to win game one in okc, I think that our bench has to play really, really good. I think that we have two players that has not really given us consistency this entire postseason. I think this is their time to shine. We need Andrew Nemhardt to really be the Andrew Nemhardt we seen last year. And we need Benedict Matheran to give us two of those games like he gave us in game four. If we can get two of those games off the bench for him being aggressive like that, because then we can match their energy because they got a bench, too. And I think if we match they bench, then we can win. But if we don't and we get caught up in that, Alex Caruso, Kayson, Wallace, Tyre, Isaiah Joe, they gonna get us out of here. Cause they just as deep as we are. But our bench gotta match that energy. We got the capable players, but it's time for them to show up.

Should be a goodie. But like Behance said, New York still got a chance. So I ain't gonna write him off like that. But it's all good.

No, y' I will s deliver. Get them the.

[Mook Teague]

We can't write them off, but I.

[Bishop]

Think it's gonna be sick if this. If they win too Back to back this. Go get sp.

[DJ Wells]

They more than capable. They more than capable. I don't see it, but can't shoot.

[Bishop]

That in your knee tonight, brother.

[Mook Teague]

That's why the patient should have swept their ass, bro. You got to worry about all that.

[DJ Wells]

We was being gentlemen. You know what I'm saying? We try to build our hopes up to the five people in New York City, but, Lord, we just going to break your heart at home. Don't worry about respect.

[Mook Teague]

We going there acting fool tonight. Boys up.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

So the NBA is just thirsty for the finals. Let's go ahead and get it out the way.

[DJ Wells]

Let's get it started.

Nah, they don't start to.

You don't start to June 5th anyway. Yeah, but you saw they sent in Scott Foster.

Game three.

[Bishop]

Yeah, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, they did it. Whatever they could.

I ain't going to lie. The Knicks might win tonight because they need more G. Like, the Timberwolves were so bad, they couldn't even cheat for them. Like, they was getting smacked. They like, bro, y' all can't hit.

A shot they literally could not get.

Yeah, they like. They like, bro, we can't even. We can't put the fix in. So it's like, yeah, I'm big with this. Like, if it's a close game, New York gonna win. Some foul calls gonna get spooky. Cause they need more games just for the TV deal.

[Mook Teague]

We need around 8, 8 to 10.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook Teague]

If it come down to the end, they gonna.

[DJ Wells]

New York gonna get a foul call.

And I hate that we had to carry, you know what I'm saying? The entire conference finals. Cause the weapons conference is.

[Mook Teague]

It was just terrible.

[DJ Wells]

Pool, water. You have not wanted to watch any of these games.

[Mook Teague]

We just watched it.

[Bishop]

I watched my teams.

[Mook Teague]

Nine points, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that. That finals was trash.

[Bishop]

That was bad.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's a JV first one.

You know why this finals was bad, the Western college final? Because they traded Luca to the Lakers, literally.

[Bishop]

Yeah, I ain't mad at that.

[DJ Wells]

It messed up everything in the Western Conference.

Yeah, damn.

[Bishop]

I ain't mad at that take. I just think we all thought the Lakers was going to play the Celtics.

[DJ Wells]

We did. Yeah, well, that's right.

[Bishop]

We all said that, bro. Like, we literally all said the Lakers versus Celtics, bro. Like, niggas had their respective teams, of course.

[DJ Wells]

But I ain't gonna lie.

[Mook Teague]

That would have been a crazy finals, though.

[Bishop]

Just off the head, the world wanted to see that. The NBA would have been proud of that. The Raiders would have been. Oh, my Lord.

[DJ Wells]

The NBA would Have been ecstatic.

How disappointed is the NBA right now that it's gonna be Pacer? Oklahoma, they're hot. But the NBA is furious.

They're pissed.

They like, yeah, it's good in a way because it's promoting small markets. And like, now you got another star in. SGA has been born and Tyrese Halliburton's been born. But as far as the global of the game, this is. Yeah, like, people in other countries only know Celtics, Lakers, Knicks, Knicks.

They really wish Chicago.

[Bishop]

Yeah, I mean, it's good. It's good. Like you said, it's good for the small markets, though, bro. We could take one on the chin.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

I could have a different script next year.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. And as long as it's good basketball, I think it's gonna help a little bit more. Now if it gets to being blowouts or bad ball, it's gonna look.

Yeah, it cannot. It can't be one blowout.

Nah.

Yeah, if it's a blowout, people gonna stop watching it. Like, if OKC blow the Pacers out, game one, it's over. Nobody gonna watch no more. Like all, they beat these niggas by 20. It's over.

Game one has to be.

It has to be an epic game. You got to go down to the wire. Somebody gotta hit a last second bucket or, you know, minute to go. Tyrese Halliburton did something special. That's the only thing that's gonna save this whole championship thing.

And for us though, both teams play up and down, so at least at the worst case scenario, something exciting gonna happen. At least you can be walked in.

[Mook Teague]

A lot of points.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

And the lead ain't gonna be safe against both some teams, they get too many possessions. So, yeah, I think worst case scenario would be good basketball. But in the Super Chat 7M anime says, who gets the evens conference final MVP? Pascal, Tyrese, or niece Smith? That is a hell of a question.

It's gonna be Tyrese.

It's gonna be Tyrese.

They gotta build the star up.

Yeah.

They gotta make it.

[Mook Teague]

But he not the star.

[Bishop]

You're not, bro.

[Mook Teague]

Tyrese is the star, bro.

[Bishop]

Pascal might be the best number two in the league, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I don't think he the number two.

[Mook Teague]

I'm not saying he the number two.

[DJ Wells]

I'm just saying he got the stove.

If you saying he number two, he ain't the best number two.

[Bishop]

He up there, bro.

[DJ Wells]

You got Jalen Williams, number two. You got Jalen Brown the number two. You got Cat the number two.

[Mook Teague]

You love Cat. I love Cats that cat, bear and Joker.

[Bishop]

He is.

[DJ Wells]

You got LeBron at number two.

[Bishop]

Brian is number two.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's Luca.

[Bishop]

I don't know. They're not real number twos, though, bro. They stars, bro.

[Mook Teague]

Number two.

[Bishop]

Pascal's not really like. He's really like a Jalen Williams type of player, bro. He's not no LeBron or no AD or no Kyrie.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to JW.

[Bishop]

Legit number two. LeBron is a number two because he got another on the team.

[DJ Wells]

Okay.

[Mook Teague]

Legit number two. No.

[Bishop]

Yes. He'll be a star on another team. I feel like anyone.

[DJ Wells]

I think.

[Bishop]

Oh, you saying he'll be a number two?

[DJ Wells]

He's saying he'll never be the number one guy.

[Bishop]

Oh, I really don't think Pascal be the number one guy anywhere, bro. He's fire number two with Kawhi. That's what I'm saying. I mean, y' all naming, duh. I mean, the Goats for sure.

[DJ Wells]

I feel what you're saying.

[Bishop]

I think he's, like, the best.

[DJ Wells]

He probably. You think J Dub would never be another number one? I can't see him.

[Bishop]

Who y' all picking over him Healthy.

[Mook Teague]

I love Pascal. I like Pascal over J Dub.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. I'm taking the champion.

[Mook Teague]

Let me Pascal, bro.

[Bishop]

Respect. That's all I want to say.

[DJ Wells]

I got him for sure. That one question. I don't know if I read that, but Mxmo said I need to sign T44 jersey, but freaky Mike signature on it only. What type of nasty freaking Mike?

Why you want his name on my jersey? That's just weird. He. He about put that in a movie. Oh, he want to put it in a movie. The ones you used to film. I don't know what mouth on with.

[Bishop]

These Richie Mike Silk press back in the day. These super Trans selection.

[DJ Wells]

There's a word that we can't use anymore, but.

Big bad booty daddy.

I'm not reading that. Give that his money back. I'm sorry. I knew I was supposed to use it.

Word.

But you are yuck, bro.

What the homie fleece is cat biggest super fan.

The homie.

Take that question out.

[Mook Teague]

That's a wild answer.

[DJ Wells]

I just want y' all to know there's a lot of super chats in here.

[Bishop]

And Malkus.

[DJ Wells]

Out of pocket.

Give me a different chat for that one, man. I need a different. I need a different. I need a different question.

[Bishop]

Hey, that's next level. Hilarious, bro.

[DJ Wells]

All right, man, let's move on, man.

I got a question for you guys, though. This is about college what's up? Did Nil save college?

[Bishop]

No, it hurt it, bro.

[DJ Wells]

No, it did.

[Bishop]

I don't know, bro.

[DJ Wells]

The reason I say it saved, because.

[Mook Teague]

Some boys is going back to school.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Now you're getting talented players who usually leave for the draft are going back from Auburn, bro. We talked about a little bit last night.

Yeah, we talked about Flynn, bro.

[Mook Teague]

He going back. He getting a check, bro.

[DJ Wells]

It ain't.

[Mook Teague]

You ain't thirsty for the league, bro. If I go get 3 million and I'm about to be a 17th pick, I'll probably get this 3, 4 million. Try to go lottery next year.

[DJ Wells]

Look, what did you have done? National championship. They asked you to come back or go to the league with Nil. What you doing?

[Mook Teague]

I'm going back, bro. I'm gonna make more money where I got picked. I'm gonna make more money in college, bro. Go back. I'm gonna try to go lottery, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Facts.

[Bishop]

You a different player though, bro. I don't know. I don't know, man. I don't know, bro.

[Mook Teague]

They give you 3 million, you gotta.

[Bishop]

You gotta get that.

[Mook Teague]

No, you're gonna get that, bro.

[DJ Wells]

And you only hoop it for what, four months?

[Bishop]

Because I was talking about Todd, Tad, Thad, whatever his name is.

[DJ Wells]

Like, it's the hottest.

[Bishop]

You're a killer, bro. You went to the combine, did your thing. To me, It's a big risk going back to college. Risk of injury, bro.

[Mook Teague]

Yeah, that's part of it. It is a risk.

[DJ Wells]

The risk.

[Mook Teague]

He could play. He can come back. He got higher expectations now. He gonna be.

[Bishop]

Yeah, Jeff said he could be a top five.

[Mook Teague]

He's gonna be a starter this year. So they gonna expect him to come in kill. And they still gotta win. If he come in and lose and putting up, he's still gonna drop. So it is a risk.

[DJ Wells]

But nigga, who the risk is though? If you stay in the draft and you the 29th pick. Yeah. Or you the 30th pick or you the 33rd pick. Now you gotta go prove yourself. And most of the time you're gonna be on a contending team and you ain't gonna get a chance to play. And now your life is gonna be a little short lived.

[Mook Teague]

Fell victim to that, bro. Literally 29th pick on the Bulls. They a playoff team. You just sitting there rotting, bro. But if you go back to college, get 3 million and get a chance to up your draft stock, bro.

[Bishop]

You did experience that. You're right.

[DJ Wells]

And I go further. Like, Marcus got picked in the first round. Kid named Kennedy Chandler, he went to Tennessee. I was scouting at that time.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

He was in the same position as this dude, and he entered the draft, and I thought he should have went back to school. He entered the draft, I think he might be the 31st pick. 32nd, 33rd pick or whatever in the second round. And his career is over now. I mean, he might be overseas playing, I'm not sure. But his NBA career is over.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[Mook Teague]

He could have went back to college, got a bag killed. And if he went second round, you was going second round anyway. At least you going second round now with $4 million.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

[Bishop]

I got you. I got you.

[DJ Wells]

That's a hell of a call. But yeah, T, whatever his name, Pettiford. Not to disrespect you, little bro, but he got a better chance of being a top 10 pick now. Like I told you, not too many people, top 10 picks coming off the bench. Only Marvin Williams and Rob Dillingham. And they were so good that it was, like, alarming that they were coming off the bench.

Yeah. And then you look at the guards got picked this year, even with Reed Shepard going as high. Still got minimal minutes. You look, Rob, minimal minutes, like, yeah, you might as well go get that bread. Cause if you. Especially in his statue and height, you gotta be top five and give you a chance.

But Rob.

[Mook Teague]

I mean, Rob, Reed, Reed and Rob, they went so high that they had to go.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. And they was.

[Mook Teague]

Can't turn that down.

[DJ Wells]

And they were so dynamic in college. Like, it was, like, embarrassing. Like, people was like, take DJ Wagner out. Like, what are y' all doing? Like, the people that were playing in front of them was just looking crazy almost.

[Bishop]

Yeah, yeah, I agree.

[DJ Wells]

And they would.

[Mook Teague]

That was. They was making DJ life a living hell. They was playing so good. It was like, bro, y' all have to take him out.

[DJ Wells]

And they literally was doing historic. Like, R.E. shepherd was literally, like, crazy. He was doing his story. He, like, the best shooter in Kentucky history.

[Mook Teague]

He never changed that.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he was like, D.J. gonna get this. He getting to the league. This nigga's just passing him by. Like, he getting there. And D.J. wagner a good player, but they were just such. They were so good at Kentucky that year, you couldn't even deny it.

[Bishop]

So only if you're a top 20 player, guarantee that y' all gonna test.

[DJ Wells]

The waters as a freshman.

[Mook Teague]

I'm saying lotto really lottery.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook Teague]

With the money they can get now, Lotto. If I'm not lotto, bro, I'm going back to school.

[Bishop]

What if you're a sophomore?

[DJ Wells]

The older you get the trickier though. You get the trickier get. But not really though. Cause the NBA is a plug and play league now. Like it used to be. All potential, potential, potential. Now if you young and you play and you sad, they will draft over you so it don't matter no more. Like think about all the kids that played in Houston. Oh yeah, like all them young dudes.

They got in Houston, Christophers and man.

Somebody got drafted over. Reed Shepard came, he gone. Yeah, you know what I mean? That's a fact. They just gonna keep somebody get drafted every year. So if you young and you sad gonna get drafted over, then you see.

More and more in this day and age, them GMs. I don't care if you. I'll get it right next year. You can be off this roster, bro. All the draft picks we had did not play for our team anymore.

No, think about all the draft picks y' all got. Like Obie Topping was with the Knicks, niece Smith was with Boston.

All these dudes, all second round situations.

What you got for they don't care if they draft somebody else next year. So you could be young and sad if you want.

Should it get spooky. So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them, it's the right thing to do. But we all know degree Cool Rush deodorant. Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans, the grease, whole thing, it turns up sweat, other 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 OG formula. One guy even started an online petition. And degree listen, they admitted they effed up. And I bring it back that OG Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's anti perspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about.

Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree cool rush for yourself.

[DJ Wells]

All right. Manuflores and super chats at JT delusional he talked about the 2015 Brian being the reason he would have lost to Claw KD Curry. He lost to no Love in two games from Irvin. This Thunderdog Walk your squad. MJ Kobe SJ King's lineage.

Man. Okay, you ain't even from here. Shut up. Name's Eduardo. Shut up.

[Bishop]

He read the tweet.

[DJ Wells]

I got, I got. I got about two minutes for you Eduardo. You better leave me the alone.

[Bishop]

I'm staying out of that one.

[DJ Wells]

Respect22 said how I feel about Paul George being the reason OKC in the Pacers in the finals this year due to the fact that he got traded from both. Yes, we talked about that. On the pod dropping today at 12pm tap in, shout out to PG for blessing the franchises. For sure.

Showed a lot of love.

Appreciate you gang. Donald Cox II said they should just let kids go out of high school now and have to say two years before you can go to the NBA. No, they should just let kids go to the NBA.

Yeah, I don't think you should have to stay two years, but they should just open the floodgates to let people go to the league. Cause you either ruining people's lives. And when I say you ruin people lives, you ruin like college coaches lives. Cause they getting you for one year now. It's kind of cool. Cause they can pay you, but they know that you're not gonna be here. Like you don't wanna go to college, bro. Like AJ Debencer, like, he shouldn't have to go to byu, man. Nah, he wasting his time.

[Bishop]

Wagner wouldn't want to.

[Mook Teague]

Gonna treat it like Ben Simmons, bro. Yeah, go there, you're like, bro, I'm about to tweak out. I don't care about y' all scholarships.

[DJ Wells]

Nothing top tier documentary, bro.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Like haven't seen.

Really ruins a couple players lives. Like DJ Wagner would have went out of high school.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

And now he's his third year in college. But Mike Mikey Williams probably not made the NBA. But he was on. He was projected on it. Yeah.

Y' all think Lamelo would have went straight?

Yup. I mean he did that anyway. But all these dudes would have went straight out of high school. And a lot of guys careers like Marcus, you've probably been a top 10 pick out of high school.

[Bishop]

A landslide.

[DJ Wells]

You know what I mean? A lot of guys would have been top picks out of high school in college.

[Bishop]

Open that back up. When did that shut down? Is that 04? Was the last class a long time. 20 years.

[Mook Teague]

Like imagine them making.

[DJ Wells]

Brian had to go to college, man. What? That have been awful, bro.

[Bishop]

That have been fired. Oh, State.

[Mook Teague]

That would have been stupid.

[Bishop]

It would have been.

[DJ Wells]

It was a waste of his time. A lot of people. Who else could have went out of high school? Kevin Durant.

Yeah.

Wasting my time. Greg Odin. Wasting his time.

D. Rose.

[Bishop]

Crazy. OJ should have never been to usc.

[DJ Wells]

Never. No, never.

[Bishop]

See people careers would have been totally different too.

[DJ Wells]

Because they would have had priority in the franchise.

Yeah. And they would have been different because, man, you gotta think about how much confidence you had when you came outta high school, bro.

[Mook Teague]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

One man you like Greg Odin would have just went straight to the league. Even though he killed.

[Mook Teague]

He was at his highest right there.

[Bishop]

He was.

[DJ Wells]

Even though he killed Ohio State. He might not went to Portland.

[Bishop]

Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying.

[DJ Wells]

He might not have got hurt. He might not have broke his hand. He might have went.

[Bishop]

Had a bad body, though. Ti was. You would have thought that n grew up with Bill Russell. Technology was not on his side. They tried everything to get my boy right. He was breaking down.

[DJ Wells]

I just feel like. And like players like me. Not to say I'm happy with what happened to me, how my career went. But I would have been at Duke. I wouldn't have went to Duke. But I'm just saying, you know what I mean? Like, you take Derrick Rose and all them dudes out of college basketball.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Dude like me, who's the 50th player in the country. You looked at a little different.

Yeah.

Now you like. Yeah. We know we not getting him. So now all of a sudden we might get Jeff at Duke.

[Bishop]

You would have stayed at Wake, though. If Wake was perfect.

[DJ Wells]

That Wake was cool for me. But I'm saying all them.

[Bishop]

Your class is gun smoke. There's 20 going to the league out the gate.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

At least.

[Mook Teague]

But Wake was perfect because he got to just do him. You go to these other schools. He might have went to Duke and been there with still five other six.

[Bishop]

He been cool with Nolan Smith and Cal. Singular.

[DJ Wells]

Though I wouldn't have went to do it.

[Mook Teague]

20 something. He might have.

[Bishop]

Was going to the league.

[DJ Wells]

I wasn't no Duke guy.

[Mook Teague]

You think Ty Lawson was going out of high school?

[Bishop]

Hell yeah.

[Mook Teague]

Small as hell.

[Bishop]

Damn average. A triple double. Okay.

[DJ Wells]

I wasn't no Duke guy. I probably. I probably because I would have been so highly sought after because everybody's going to. I probably would have went to like Indiana. Probably would have rolled out the carpet for me. They probably would have. I mean, they did that anyway. But I probably would have been like, I'm gonna stay at the crib.

[Bishop]

You'd have been out.

[DJ Wells]

I wouldn't have to worry about Eric. Yeah.

[Bishop]

D.J. white. Yep. Eric would have went to the league.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Eric was losing.

It'd be you and Jordan Crawford.

[Mook Teague]

His would have been. Damn him out of high school to the. Bro.

[DJ Wells]

Bro. What? He was so different.

And he was ready too, actually.

Yeah, bro.

[Bishop]

He got to la. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

When they started playing. Yeah.

[Mook Teague]

He was one of the hardest people.

[DJ Wells]

To guard at that time, bro. I'm telling you, he was different.

[Bishop]

That's some to think about for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to EJ Legend in the city for sure.

I definitely would have. I would have been lit. Sad. Kentucky, Duke, Carolina.

[Bishop]

Facts, dude. Cause you top 10 players.

[DJ Wells]

I would have been moved. I would have been moot. I don't pick where I want to go.

[Bishop]

All the boys gone, baby.

[DJ Wells]

He only ranked high. Cause everybody go to the league. I might have been one and done, though. You got to think about it. Because in high school, you would have been playing like we went to, you know, Vegas and we playing all the dudes. NBA scouts would have been there watching these dudes to go out of high school and you killing.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

And you might have, nigga. Might have been a second round pick out of high school. Oh.

You know what I'm saying?

[Bishop]

Like, you already had the dark story to match.

[DJ Wells]

But you think about it, though. Cause you would have been playing against NBA scouts in front of these dudes to see Eric Gordon, like Brandon Jennings for the one out of high school. All these cats for sure, man.

[Bishop]

That's crazy.

[DJ Wells]

All right, man. Super chat. Jalen Benitez says shout out to be here. For real, bro. Responded to my message when I said y' all should put the videos up so we can see what y' all talking about. Shout out Jeff, too. One of my favorite players. For real.

Oh, shout out to you, man.

[Bishop]

We working on that, bro.

[DJ Wells]

For sure. All right. 2 kick 17 said y' all think Jace Richardson should go back. Yes, Think so, Mooc.

Nah, he gonna be a top, top pick.

[Mook Teague]

A top five pick.

[DJ Wells]

He gonna be top 20.

[Bishop]

He top 20.

[DJ Wells]

Dude like him, you gotta strike with an iron hot. Cause I ain't no shade to lil, bro. He good, but he don't jump off the screen.

[Mook Teague]

Yeah, he don't, bro.

[DJ Wells]

But he had. He good enough to make it to the league. Like shooting down there. 50, bro. You. Yeah, you efficient as hell.

[Bishop]

Yeah, I'm rolling.

[DJ Wells]

She's got a strike on the iron hot.

[Mook Teague]

He don't need no bread neither.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, bro, Chase the dreams, bro. Chase your dreams, bro.

[Mook Teague]

His little brother got a 50 inch vertical.

[DJ Wells]

I was gonna say the younger brother, he.

Yeah, yeah.

He would join him in the league in a couple years.

That boy jump out the gym. But. But he. He got a strike by the iron Hot. Because his dream might not come true if he go back to Michigan State.

[Bishop]

Respect.

[DJ Wells]

And we've seen a lot of Michigan State guards have great success in the tournament and all that stuff. It's still not be high picks. So, yeah, take advantage. I ain't mad at it.

Shawn Kalen Lucas, this thing, bro.

My shout out to him, but damn, give us some. All right. WNBA scores from yesterday. The Mystics took care of the fever, 83 to 77.

I told you.

Chelsea Mitchell had 14.

Shut the league down.

Yeah. Duanna Barter had 21. Britney Sykes been killing. She had 21. Nine and Keke era for age. Rookie going crazy this year. This is the only game she don't have a double double. Basically 16. Eight. Yeah, man. We ain't got Caitlyn.

[Mook Teague]

We might go on a little losing streak.

[DJ Wells]

It just started.

[Bishop]

We shake back, though, bro.

[DJ Wells]

For sure. Shout out to Angel Reese, becoming the fastest player in league history to get 500 points. 538 games. Excuse me. Tina Thompson set it with 44. There we go. Shout out to Angel Reese, man.

How many of those are offensive rebound?

[Bishop]

Some race. Yeah, it's a lot of me bounds in that, but you know what I mean.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to her. Me bounds.

[Bishop]

Yeah, you throw that. What was our boy that got the triple?

[DJ Wells]

Ricky Davis.

[Bishop]

She got a little Ricky Davis.

[DJ Wells]

Me bounds is a bar.

Me bounds is hilarious, bro.

How many. How many offensive rebounds you think she got out of those? 500, 400.

Wait a minute.

I'm going say at least. At least 200 is offensive rebounds.

Hey, that's cold.

[Bishop]

And I. And I with Lisa Leslie told her we're gonna get in the gym and work on your layup package because she shooting 33. She's a big man. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

We got you.

[Bishop]

You will be. You'll be kicked out of the NBA.

[DJ Wells]

Now as a big shooting 33. And are you taking his layups? Yeah. You will be fired.

[Bishop]

And that. Somebody showed me that yesterday. I said she shoot 33. Yes, bro.

[DJ Wells]

So that's insane.

[Mook Teague]

All you do is shoot layups, bro.

[DJ Wells]

There's no way she shoot 32, bro. I hate that we have to talk about Angel Reese, but she is a polarizing player in the W. Oh, yeah. Oh, her offensive rebound. 200. Damn. 200. Offensive rebound for her career.

[Bishop]

For her career. She shoots 38 from the field.

[DJ Wells]

38% for the field. For her career.

[Bishop]

Yeah, it's right there.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's.

That's big.

[Mook Teague]

That is.

[DJ Wells]

No, that's. Damn. That is.

[Bishop]

That's a big man. So.

[DJ Wells]

So.

So far this year.

[Bishop]

Get some Grace.

[DJ Wells]

She shoot 21 for.

She has 56 rebounds, and 30 of them are defensive rebounds. The other 26.

She's one of the worst offensive players in the league, percentage wise.

[Mook Teague]

Is crazy.

[DJ Wells]

She's literally Dennis Robin.

Now she. She did have a wrist injury just last summer, so I don't know if you know, said that impacted the workout game, but. Yeah, Lisa Leslie, we gotta get it.

[Bishop]

Back in the.

[DJ Wells]

That. So I got there ASAP with her. We got right.

[Bishop]

J. D. Lock in. What's the that play? Get in. Get in character, nigga.

[Mook Teague]

[Bishop]

I chose on people from my hood that got bodies.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't scared of that after I seen that.

Well, Martin Miguel, boy, he played the hell out the role.

[Bishop]

All seriousness, for you to be a Star in the WNBA, you shoot 33%. That's why I said I could play me and Joanna with the red in that movie. That pick and roll nigga would have been crazy. 33%, bro. You miss all the time.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, man.

[Bishop]

You miss all the time.

[Mook Teague]

Oh, God.

[DJ Wells]

But the thing she do well is.

She get her own rebounds.

Oh, me. She has 56 rebounds in the season. 26 of those are offensive. So mebound guy, bro, the mebound is crazy.

[Bishop]

But y' all like that though, y' all coach when keep missing y. So keep fighting. Keep going, keep going. Don't give up. I done heard just say that. Don't give up, Buddha. Don't give up. Follow your shot. My ran out to say don't give up.

Max still being showed up this morning for sure.

[Bishop]

Man, we need to start really putting these up, though. We be doing the WNBA disservice because all we do is Jo, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Who is that?

[Bishop]

That's Angel.

[DJ Wells]

Okay, with the left man, let's get to these baseball recaps.

Good finish, though.

[Bishop]

I like that, though.

[DJ Wells]

She do pop her, though. Okay. Who that? That was the highlights. Okay. Good game by the sky.

[Bishop]

This show was a joke.

[DJ Wells]

Good game by the sky.

We just talking about you, but I am not watching the sky highlights.

[Bishop]

We said this yesterday. We need from each game, at east give us three solid highlights to work with y' all. We really want to tap in.

[DJ Wells]

Like, watch the game at home.

[Bishop]

No, bro. We want to tap in. I'm trying to learn the girls, bro. I want to see one of these windmill layups, bro. Keep watching the game like you have been.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, we be watching the game, trying.

[Bishop]

To learn about the players, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Like, we want y' all to show the love to the fans.

I'm trying to. Don't look at me.

Don't look at me.

He said I want to see a windmill layup.

[Bishop]

Ain't f Jason Richards in that. Gotta start somewhere.

[Mook Teague]

Windmill layup is insane.

[DJ Wells]

That's bike shot. Windmill layup.

That's nasty. So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them, it's the right thing to do. But we all know degree Cool Rush deodorant. Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans, the grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other 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 OG formula. One guy even started an online petition. And degree listen. They admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. 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 are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about.

Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree cool rush for yourself.

Them 4374 on the Dodgers. A big win.

Shout out to the Dodgers. The brewers defeat the Red Sox. Man extended innings for show 6 to 5. The race took care of the twins 5 to 0. Built to ass sweep city Astros secure the athletics 5 to 3.

Look at that Pirates.

Yeah, the Diamondbacks keep getting their ass 10 to 1 against the Pirates. Get better.

[Mook Teague]

Please keep them off the parlay.

[DJ Wells]

No.

Yeah man. Well take the other.

You know who's in the league though.

Who?

We ain't gonna talk about respect. I'm gonna go to the end.

[Mook Teague]

They ran it up.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

Tonight.

Good game yesterday.

Them goddamn Rockies. Boy.

The Royals beat the Reds 3 to 2. Cubs took care of the Rockies. Rockets 2 to 1.

Shout out.

[Bishop]

I'm pissed if I'm at a baseball game. And the end of that 10 is.

[DJ Wells]

We doing, you know, what's up out there. It's either really good baseball or really bad baseball.

[Bishop]

Well, that baseball game, three or four hours, bro. Out here playing.

[DJ Wells]

The Colorado Rockies are literally so bad.

[Mook Teague]

Yeah, they trash, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Bro, they might be the worst team in MLB history.

[Mook Teague]

They trash.

[DJ Wells]

Wow, bro.

[Mook Teague]

I feel like I bet against them every day.

[DJ Wells]

Like I'm about to literally start betting against the Colorado.

[Mook Teague]

It's like. It's like the Angel Reeves first shot thing. It's the same thing.

[DJ Wells]

I swear to God, bro. They so bad, bro. I don't even know they record.

I think Rockies out here feeding families.

They definitely got single digit wins, bro. What's their record, bro? They're off.

No, they are the worst team in the league.

9 to 46.

[Mook Teague]

They getting smacked night, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, every night.

[Bishop]

They still got a lot of games.

[DJ Wells]

100 more games. 100 more built.

They literally worse than the Wizards in basketball.

Wow. They bad, bro.

[Bishop]

Dj, you play baseball? How many games did y' all play in High School?

[DJ Wells]

20Ish.

[Bishop]

Because I'm like, when do. How do you prepare for 200 games?

[DJ Wells]

Like, season ain't as long.

Double headers and double headers, baby.

[Bishop]

Okay.

[Mook Teague]

Pitchers get to sit down. They got all kinds of.

[Bishop]

Baseball's a you basketball.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, essentially. Yeah.

For real.

Anytime that you play in the game, you just. Anyone to say running back in professional sports, that's crazy.

Yeah, but they legit, like, on the pace for the worst team in MLB history, though.

They're nasty, bro.

Man, it's a bad team, bro. Bad, bad team.

Yeah, they tanking, bro.

Damn, boy.

Diamondbacks. I don't know what we got going on, but tap back in.

Look at my Cubs, though.

[Bishop]

I'm gonna start tapping in with y' all with the. The bets for the. For the baseball.

[DJ Wells]

My Cubs is hooking. I'm a little Braves fan, too.

[Bishop]

You bet.

[Mook Teague]

It's nice.

[Bishop]

Do you bet on the players smoke or you just. Nah, straight up teams.

[Mook Teague]

I might take the pitches sometimes. Pitcher strikeouts.

[DJ Wells]

But yeah, we're gonna get these baseball parlays back rocking for sure. But we're gonna tap in, feed the streets this summer for sure. All right. Man, we go back to this topic, ae. Listen, man. Crown the face of the league. I don't think that he wants to be the face of the league. If he wants to be the face of the league, I think it could happen. I think he just want to keep killing. I think that's the NBA's problem to figure out.

[Mook Teague]

I was talking to Will Barton yesterday. He said Bron's still the face of the league. He was like, people more excited to see Bron than these other people, bro. I was like, you damn near right. Cause if Bron was in the finals right now, everybody'd be watching Bron versus Steph. Finals right now. Today would go crazy.

[DJ Wells]

If there was a Lakers, Warriors, Western Conference final, the world would be talking about it every single day. The Pacers, Knicks series would be overlooked completely.

That is a great point.

[Mook Teague]

You damn near right.

[DJ Wells]

Bron is the face of the league. Cause his story was written more about him being 40 and doing what he's doing. We were more excited about that than anything else. Like every day we came in here, bron just had 30. Like he doing this at 40.

Most definitely.

Him and Jokic, we talked about them every day.

[Bishop]

Facts. That's true. I agree. Bron is still the face till he leave, bro. It's too polarizing, bro. But even for 20 plus years, I.

[DJ Wells]

Think even the year after, bro, they gonna all ask LeBron's thoughts about everything that happens. Like, how could you fix this? Will you come back? That's gonna be the whole narrative after that, bro. It's still LeBron Lee, bro, asking is.

[Mook Teague]

He gonna come back. He ain't retired yet.

[Bishop]

Yeah, I don't think he going to come back to the league once he hang him up. I just wonder what he does next. I wonder if he stays around the NBA.

[Mook Teague]

He going to be an owner.

[DJ Wells]

He going to try to be an owner. But do you think he do what Mike do?

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

You know how Mike working for NBC and they offer him 40 million? Do you think somebody offered LeBron 50 million or did LeBron build his own? He's that type of dude. He build his own.

[Bishop]

That'll be fire, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

Because I think they already laid uninterrupted is going to be the. The segue to all things Bron.

[Bishop]

That'd be fire, though.

[DJ Wells]

That'd be tight. If Bron had like a morning show or a talk show and let his guys come on, like three cool dudes.

[Bishop]

Let his guys come on.

[DJ Wells]

Or four, some cool camera guys, they put him on uninterrupted now, that'd be lit.

[Bishop]

He already doing a podcast. Shit, I'd rather do a morning show with my guys, but I don't think.

[DJ Wells]

He'Ll get up every morning and do that.

[Bishop]

I don't know, bro. It's gonna be hard for him to cut that off.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook Teague]

Never know.

[Bishop]

Nick say he get up at 4.

[DJ Wells]

Matter of fact, don't do that, actually, bro. No, I was being funny. If you didn't hear what I was.

It was for the crowd.

[Bishop]

I respect it, though. I think it's smart.

[DJ Wells]

I don't think he gonna do. I don't think it's too much time. He gonna try to be an owner.

Yeah.

Like, doing this. Yeah, doing this every morning is too much time. Especially when he do movies and he do all that other stuff, and he a billionaire. Like, he ain't gonna want to talk ball like this. He want to talk ball in his own comfort with wine and just chilling with one other person.

Bron. And mess around. Just sit there and tweet everything, bro. And just dominate that way. But this was an interesting point that I just brought up. You think they brought Mike in for Bron's last dance? That'd be crazy. If last year, Brian was narrated by Jordan, like, throughout. Like, captured throughout the season. That'd be crazy. And if y' all do this, NBC, I owe a check, so pay what you weigh.

[Bishop]

You should do it.

[DJ Wells]

But that'd be fire.

[Mook Teague]

That'd be cold.

[DJ Wells]

Mike ain't not doing that.

[Bishop]

I think Mike gonna get up there and just be sad anyway, so.

[DJ Wells]

No, I think Mike gone. Mike going. They gonna. Like, we gonna. Mike ain't gonna ever be in the studio. Mike gonna be in Greece somewhere. And we're tapping in with Mike. He's in Greece.

Hey, y' all.

What's going on?

Mike gonna be remote. Yeah.

I mean, okay. See, they were good last year. They still good.

[Bishop]

Yeah, man could be surprised.

[DJ Wells]

They really sad, but they might.

[Bishop]

Pulling up to the stove.

[DJ Wells]

No, when you see that, bro, when.

You were the owner.

When you were the owner of the Hornets, what did you look for in a player? Well, you know, I just went with who was winners in college.

[Bishop]

He might be the worst drafty ever, though. Mike goes down as one of the worst people to pick somebody, he better off picking a nigga in Chicago. Open runs, nigga for the future.

[DJ Wells]

If the Hornets were drafting you, then it was a bad sign, man.

He picked Adam Morrison. I was like, yeah, you really like winners, bro? Like, people who won in college? Because there's no way you thought Adam Morrison was about to be him.

Get well soon for sure, man. All right, Verified buckets. Be him who was getting to it yesterday.

[Bishop]

Sga, man, he could have sat out for the game here actually as bad as timberwolves played, but SGA, get it.

[DJ Wells]

Get your numbers anyway. 34, 8, and 7. Gonna show some love to Chet, who had 22 and 7. Last turn. Not least, man. Shout out to Sam Presti. Keep remixing squad, man. Back to the finals with a different rendition.

[Mook Teague]

He the goat, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Nah. You know my verified bucket. What's that coach name? Okc. Yeah.

[Mook Teague]

Mark Dagono.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he need to be a verified bucket, bro. What he did with this team, all these young dudes, and he got them to buy in. Like, it's so hard to get people to buy in in the NBA. Cause it's about money. And you got a full team of dudes who trying to get paid. You got Lou Dor got paid, and you got SGA got paid. And Isaiah Joe and Caruso, right? Them like the big money guys on they team. But you got Jalen Williams who need a check.

Yeah, he's big.

You need Chet about to get a check. You got some other dudes on that team who trying to get paid.

Hardstein paid, too. I forgot. Yeah, they took care of him.

Who?

Harstein?

Oh, yeah. But then the rest of these young. You got some young dudes who's trying to get paid, like Carson, Cassie, I mean, Kayson, Wallace and all them. They trying to work their way into getting a check and to get them to buy in like they do, man. That's. That's pretty cool, bro.

And he's 40 years old, too. One of the younger coaches, they got a dope pick of him and Caruso in the G League, ducking it out.

[Mook Teague]

He's a great coach, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I was hung up, like, so to see what he did with that team. Got this young group going to the finals, bro. Pretty impressive, man.

[Bishop]

That's hard.

[DJ Wells]

Be the best team in the league two years in a row. Now I'm going to the finals, possibly win a championship. Pretty impressed.

I mean, I know we about to get out here. I want to ask y' all a question. When you come up with coaches in that situation, like, for you mooc to see him in that level, to see him. Now, is he the same person, same philosophies, or. You can see it early on that he was going to be in the head coaching spot.

[Mook Teague]

He's smart as hell, bro. I knew he started off at Florida, so I played against man, Kentucky. But I knew after playing for him, like, are you going to be a head coach in the league at some point, bro? You know this game too well, bro. He just thought different, bro. I knew he was gonna make it.

[DJ Wells]

That's dope, man. So you already talk like Kenny Akins and stuff like that. Your sisters went on to be prosperous head coaches. You could see that early.

Yeah, I knew Kenny would be special. He didn't even want to be a head coach, but he was. His mind was different, like he said, you know? Like, I knew whenever team he got, they was gonna be explosive offensively. But nah, that's what's up, man.

For sure. All right, man. What the helly burner in the super chat said, yo be here in this PJ Tucker 5 freeze the lock tonight, man.

[Bishop]

My boy ain't getting in. I was screaming his name, too. Kept doing me like this.

[DJ Wells]

Well, hopefully, you know what I'm saying, It's built to ass. And he would get pretty minutes tonight so he can get those attempts up. All right, get well soon. We start off with the T Wolves nine first quarter points.

Yeah.

Disgusting.

[Mook Teague]

That's nasty.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's nasty. I ain't even sure what we go ahead, bro. The clip anyway. Nas Reed.

Nas posted. Somebody argue with him now.

Somebody posted his. But he was going crazy.

What did he say?

[Mook Teague]

He was was going.

[DJ Wells]

He was violating the dms. Qu playing with people phone, man.

What did he say to him? Somebody talking about betting broke. Yeah, him betting and missing one shot. Ah, that went crazy.

And you still broke and fat. Sad.

I with that n conversation with him, too.

He said, damn, you still on my nuts. Nas was talking crazy. I love that.

I love that, too.

Disrespect the fans.

They deserve it.

[Bishop]

You got to interact every once in a while, man.

[DJ Wells]

You gotta set the tone. Let niggas know not to play with you, bro.

Man, and the fan posted it. Yeah, he la.

[Bishop]

Here, look. What the.

[DJ Wells]

Look what the fan you.

[Mook Teague]

So ass piss, bro.

[DJ Wells]

The second part being you mad, bro.

[Bishop]

The fat N, they really be shitty, though, bro. Cause he probably up the whole leg. That's the thing.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, bro. He was up his whole weekend, bro.

Oh, yeah. Nas is pissed.

[Mook Teague]

He's pissed, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Dang, man. You said a couple pair.

[Mook Teague]

Screaming you. That's gonna piss me off.

[DJ Wells]

Stay out of people dms, bro. People will clap back if they got more money than you.

[Mook Teague]

Explain to himself, I missed four shots. He's pissed, bro.

[DJ Wells]

You know the vibes. Tap in. We appreciate y' all. See y' all next time. 5:20 in the morning. Okay? Have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. The fans rebel and wanted the old scent back and Degree listened and that doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up out of bringing the original Cool Rush scent back and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason why it's the number one man's antiperspirant and it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart Target and try to OG Cool Rush for yourself.
