  • Mook: “Numbers is crazy, but team wins decide it.” (06:15)
• Comparing Star Reliance: Nuggets vs. OKC:
  Discussion on which team relies more on their superstar.

Where they do that at sending the shots we gonna shoot back. These is true stats bust them white laces with the shoes black. I guess the tension is the new crack. He It's 5:20 in the morning. But you already knew that.

That new iPhone 17, they'll pull up to your crib and handle the rest. Shout out to Hard Rock. Bet B here. Light went bad yesterday, man. Teague said that Duke was gonna put belt in their cues. We thought that 19 and a half was enough. Clearly it was not, man.

[Mook]

No, they beat the dog out of there, but Jackson State, really the ones who sold me, for real, they. They kind of. They kind of got it. But it's cool, bro. I only missed the lay by two yesterday. So we back at it. It's all right.

[DJ Williams]

We gonna try it again, man. Shout out to Hard Rob last. But certainly shout out to the good people over there at StockX. I'm your host. My name is DJ Williams. We got a full house this Tuesday morning. Got T, we got Bishop, we got Mooc. Fellas, good morning. How y' all doing?

[Mook]

What's happening, bro?

[Mooc]

What's happening?

[DJ Williams]

All right, man, listen. We at the past halfway point in the NBA season, man. Mid season break, All Star break. So we want to go through some stuff, man. See what we was right about. See what we was wrong about. Let's start with a couple Midseason awards, man. MVPs right now, man. Let's. First things first, go to the reigning MVP, SGA. Hell of a season so far, man. 31, 6 and 4. Missed a couple games. Still got the best record in the league. How y' all feeling about Shay's chances of repeating this year so far, man?

[T]

Chances is pretty high, bro.

[DJ Williams]

Pretty high.

[T]

Yeah, it's looking pretty good for him.

[Mooc]

Yeah.

[T]

Can't really see nobody else getting it.

[DJ Williams]

This is his best game of the season so far. He had 55, eight and five against my pacers. Very disrespectful.

[Mooc]

I think. I think his game is rosing another level. Yeah, he's shooting 39% from the three.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

And that's what everybody said. You know, his Kryptonite was the 3 point being 139 from 3.

[T]

That's really good.

[Mooc]

That's a phenomenal shoe.

[DJ Williams]

Like you said. Almost 50, 40, 90 right there. 89 from the free throws, 55 from the field. And he shoots a lot of midis, which is crazy. Efficient season, man. We talked about last year being one of the best guard seasons you could have and he repeated again this year. SGA looking crazy so far, man. Shout out to him doing his thing, somebody else, you know what I'm saying? We always say he should have got it. Joker killing this year. We know he missed a little bit of time averaging 29, 12 and 10. Trippy dub. Damn. Joker got a chance to get SGA about that spot this year.

[Mooc]

Be here.

[DJ Williams]

Nah, nah, he ain't rolling.

[Mook]

Nah. SGA, he back to back, bro.

[DJ Williams]

Oh, light work. He plus 300 right now. Not bad odds. Joker, his best game on Christmas Day. Historic performance. 56, 16 and 15. This is crazy.

[Mook]

Yes, he was saying it. Every year his numbers continue to grow and be better than Anthony ever is. Ten points early for Minnesota and Nicole Yokich has nine.

[DJ Williams]

Only the Nuggets trailing here in the first quarter. I from half court.

[Mook]

It's crazy that he can do that, bro.

[DJ Williams]

Half horseman.

[T]

He can average 40 if he wanted to.

[Mook]

Nah, for real. Kind of hard to deny them crazy ass numbers too, though.

[DJ Williams]

It is.

[Mook]

Y' all said the team plays a part in it too, so that's why it.

[T]

That's why SGA get denied. Yeah, team success is a big part.

[Mooc]

Of that.

[Mook]

Because them numbers is. That's them. The Westbrook numbers when he had a triple double season.

[DJ Williams]

What a pass. Come on, man. 56, 16, 15. Best game so far of the season. Okay, y' all had an interesting conversation during the highlights about this OKC team and Nuggets team who relies upon their star more.

[Mook]

Between the two, Denver.

[Mooc]

Denver, yeah.

[Mook]

Ain't even close. SGA be sitting out, bro, and them niggas be winning.

[T]

Denver played pretty well when Joker was out too, though.

[DJ Williams]

But yeah, they had a spurt. Jamal Murray definitely picked it up. One of his better seasons last couple years. Aaron Gordon missed some time as well. But like the resurgence, like you said, some of the young guys in that squad, the Peyton Watson showing up and giving them quality minutes. Christian Braun as well. What's the guy? Julian Strother, he be going crazy as well. We haven't seen what we thought we were going to get from Cam Johnson yet. But Tim Hardaway Jr. Has been producing.

[T]

Yeah, they lost that trade in a major way, for sure.

[Mooc]

Dang. And I was high on that trade.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

I thought he fit perfectly with that system. And obviously, it's a first. It's an adjustment year for him, his first year there. And they play a totally different brand of basketball than Brooklyn. But MPJ over there, looking crazy.

[T]

Looking crazy. 26 a night killing.

[Mooc]

Yeah, he look. He look super crazy.

[DJ Williams]

I know it may have been a money discrepancy, but do you think they should have just been patient with mpj? You know what I'm saying? Because obviously he was injured last year.

[Mook]

It was time to move on, man.

[T]

It was good for him.

[DJ Williams]

It was a lot of chicken on the books.

[Mook]

Yeah, it was time to move on.

[T]

It was the best thing for mpj.

[Mook]

Yeah, for sure.

[Mooc]

I think he looked forward to leaving.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Like, I think he knew in his heart he could do the things that he's doing in Brooklyn. Not a lot of us thought that. I mean, I think y' all did.

[Mook]

Oh, I definitely said 25.

[T]

I did too.

[Mook]

Y' all had more faith in the other dude over there.

[T]

I thought he would fit their team. I didn't think Cam was gonna have no damn 25. But I thought he does fit their team. He just struggling a little bit. But as far as the way he plays the game, spacing, he a smart player.

[Mook]

MPJ is just, like, way better than Cam Thomas.

[T]

Nah, he is. But I feel like Cam Johnson. I feel like he gonna help him playoff still.

[Mooc]

Yeah. Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

That's what I was gonna say. For the money. Yeah, that's the money that they spent in that situation. You go to Tim Hardaway. Jeunes having a hell of a season last year in Detroit. Still killing this year. Bruce Brown having already been there in the system. I agree. They had to move that money around.

[Mooc]

Yeah, they. They got a lot. They got a big return on that investment, though. I ain't gonna lie. Like, getting Bruce Brown back. And Tim Hardaway, who's averaging 14 off the pond.

[T]

He shoot the shit out the ball boy.

[DJ Williams]

Facts.

[Mooc]

He playing well.

[Mook]

That's a great advice.

[Mooc]

Bruce Brown playing well.

[DJ Williams]

Yes, sir.

[Mooc]

Cam Johnson struggling. Whatever. He'll find his footing. Yeah, but I think it was a good trade overall. But when you look at the player for player, when they say Cam Johnson and mpj. Cause was the main guys in that trade.

[DJ Williams]

Agree.

[Mooc]

They got these other guys in free agency, kind of. I guess they traded for Blueground, didn't it?

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, but.

[Mooc]

But whatever. They Gonna put these two together. You gonna look and say, damn, MPJ look crazy. But yeah, I mean, it's both of them having success.

[T]

So as soon as Bruce Brown put on a Nuggets jersey, his game sliders go up, bro.

[DJ Williams]

That's a fact, bro.

[T]

It's like Lance when he put on Pacer jersey.

[Mooc]

Yeah.

[T]

A game sliders just go up. Just the team he supposed to be on.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

Nah, you ain't wrong. Now one thing that's interesting is what they're gonna do going forward. Christian Brock got paid, obviously. Peyton Watson, he is due for a payday this offseason and they just tap in last summer and he is playing his ass off right now.

[T]

It's over.

[Mook]

They gotta pay him.

[Mooc]

He hurt. But right now, bro. Yeah, he gone.

[Mook]

He done earned his bread.

[Mooc]

Yeah, he gone, bro.

[T]

They should already paid him.

[Mooc]

He gonna be gone. And we fans of his, we love him on this pod.

[T]

Gone for the low.

[Mook]

That's my guy.

[Mooc]

But he definitely gone. I can see him in Chicago somewhere. Someone was looking for a rebuild to start with a new young wing, capable wing.

[Mook]

You give him a hundred.

[Mooc]

I mean, I'm not paying 15. He definitely look nothing less than 15.

[DJ Williams]

16 and that 15 really kind of askew because of how the numbers was low the beginning of the season. If you go off his last 20, last 30, that's really about 20 up there.

[Mook]

Yeah, Chicago couldn't afford it. I was just speaking. Not speaking on his bread. I'm just saying Chicago, somebody that could have.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Cause last time, last time we did that with people bread, qg.

[DJ Williams]

Oh yeah.

[Mooc]

And we was like, man, you ain't worth 25 million tripping. And he really worth 20 million.

[Mook]

Nah, get. Get all your money.

[DJ Williams]

My boy Quinn Grime.

[Mook]

I'm just saying, when you said Chicago, it just made me think like, nah, they can afford him.

[Mooc]

Oh yeah, definitely. But like, you know, he like an up and coming wing. Like, not to say like MPJ. Cause he might have the same potential as MPJ. Like MPJ was around 18 over there. Yeah, he left. Went to Brooklyn. He's 26. He might be around 15. He leave and go somewhere else with more opportunity. He might be a 20 point scorer.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, I ain't mad at that. Okay. I like this comparison to Jay McDaniels.

[Mooc]

Yeah, that's a good. Yeah. And Jay McDaniels got 100 plus million.

[Mook]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Mooc]

It ain't.

[Mook]

It ain't far off.

[Mooc]

Yeah, it ain't. And they both playing for winning teams. So I can see them getting 100. I mean Christian Braun got 100.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah. That's a fact.

[Mooc]

And he really playing better than him.

[Mook]

Nah, facts.

[Mooc]

He is.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah. Offensively, I like Peyton Watson every day over Christian Bryan, respectfully. But yeah, like you said, they in great situations. Cause all those involved got a chip with that team. So now it's time to get paid for sure. You gotta help accomplishment out the way.

[Mooc]

I'm like a $100 million player. I'm rolling man the comps.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah. And you look across the board from production standpoint, that 15, 16 game and.

[Mooc]

What he like 22, 23.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[T]

Get him 100, young boy.

[DJ Williams]

That's 100.

[Mooc]

Yeah, it's 100 at least. So Brody got need it. Yeah.

[T]

Give me the off this team.

[Mook]

Payton. Pay my dog, man. Shout out to Payton.

[DJ Williams]

Denver might tap in. They might know what's up, man. They might. They might keep him. I hope so if he want to be there.

[Mooc]

That's going to be a tough trade though.

[T]

Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah. It's a tough contract to. To move on from, but tough to.

[Mooc]

Move on from that. But hey, shout out to both of them.

[DJ Williams]

Hey, good problem to have, man. Shout out to Denver. Y could keep killing moving on, man. Our guy Cade Cunningham. MVP conversations plus 1400 right now if you a betting man. Season averages of 25, 10 and 6 rebounds. Elvis season to start off, man. Let's go to his best game against the Wizards. 46, 12, 11 and 5 steals. Shout out to my boy Cade.

[T]

It's crazy. You can kill shot all them shots and not get mvp.

[Mooc]

I think I was watching.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, real buckets.

[T]

These is great numbers.

[Mook]

I think ant need to be up there too though.

[DJ Williams]

Hey.

[Mook]

And well we talking about K right now.

[T]

I say kush this cold, bro.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, K. Cunningham give me him over.

[T]

Any point guard in the league right now. I don't care no more.

[Mooc]

Okay.

[T]

I seen enough. Is SGA a point guard? Yeah, except for sgl.

[DJ Williams]

Okay. I ain't mad at it.

[Mooc]

Moot.

[Mook]

Wado.

[T]

I just like his the way he controlled that team.

[Mook]

You like him cause he's tall.

[T]

I love him cause he tall. But the way he control that team, bro. They'd be sad without him, bro.

[Mook]

That's a fact. I think MVP needs to be given out based off that as well. That is kind of like an underrated thing.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah. Pistons number one in the East. K. Cunningham. Like you said, if he is not on this team, they are definitely in the runnings for AJ DeMasa and Darren Peterson.

[T]

1000%.

[DJ Williams]

JD is an all Star. We got a lot of quality players. We wouldn't say they have another superstar on that team.

[Mook]

But that's why I think he should just be higher though, bro.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Just because how important you are to your team.

[T]

I feel like when you make your teammates that much better, that show what type of basketball player you are.

[Mooc]

Yeah.

[T]

You can elevate everybody around you. That's what make Brian.

[Mook]

Because if he got mvp, I swear to God, even though I think sca get it, I wouldn't be mad at it. Just because. Yeah, bro, he is the team, bro.

[Mooc]

Yes.

[Mook]

He means so much, bro.

[Mooc]

His stats just like them are great. Stats like them are phenomenal. But when you see somebody averaging 30, 31.

[T]

Yep.

[Mook]

Who the most important nigga on the team. Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

Your impact. I think impact is very important. Cause like we said, if Cade goes on a 10 game stretch where he's not playing, they lose, bro.

[Mook]

It's wicked, bro.

[Mooc]

But he set out some games and they still won't.

[DJ Williams]

That's a fact. The vibes is high. Everybody playing their role too. But if he missed extended amount of time on that team, a little bit different.

[T]

Jaylen Duran turned into a goddamn point four when he was out crossing people.

[Mook]

I'm saying they ain't going to be as bad as the Pacers because the Patriots are God awful. But they be like. No, I'm saying it'll be like down, Jamal. No, I'mma hold it. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. I'm just saying I think that it'll have a big drop off. Like that is all I'm saying.

[Mooc]

Yeah, eventually. Yeah. It'll catch up with him if he was out for a significant amount of time. But I don't know, man. SGA just what he's doing.

[DJ Williams]

Yes.

[Mooc]

It's hard to like top that right now.

[DJ Williams]

It is another fact I put in for K. He got the city rocking again too. Like we put up to a game. The vibes in Detroit are high and they've been really low for a while.

[Mooc]

So you know how like who was we talking to? Was it Fred when he was like, you gotta have that, you know, before you make the all star team. You gotta have a good year before.

[Mook]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mooc]

I feel like that's what it is for Cade. Like he having that year that everybody can actually take him. Like, damn. He's one of the elite players in our league. He's a top five player in the league. He's gonna be one of our franchise guys. Well, obviously he's a franchise guy, but one of our Faces of the NBA song. And like he was number one pick. He's been groomed to be that because he was the number one pick. But now he's kind of coming into his own and it's like, it's good to see. But I think he's in that first step and then like next year it might be his year.

[DJ Williams]

Okay.

[T]

Might get to about 28.

[Mooc]

Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, it's the same thing how we felt about Ant. Like we thought this was ant year.

[DJ Williams]

We did.

[Mooc]

We all felt like, damn, last year he took that leap and this year he was going to be mvp. Making one of the all Star Game MVP is a leap, but it's just tough when you got sga like being that consistent.

[Mook]

But ant, if they. Shit if they don't got Ant, bro, it's. It's wicked for the Timberwolves too, bro. He's having one of his best shooting years, bro.

[T]

Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Then you got Luca.

[Mook]

He's shooting 40 from the 3.

[T]

It's tricky, bro. The numbers in the NBA right now is insane.

[Mooc]

Yeah, because you got Luca doing absurd.

[DJ Williams]

Shit like you said. If you're a betting man. Plus 2000 for Luca MVP. Mook said border lectures is wasting his MVP campaign. Excuse me. Season average of 33, nine and eight.

[T]

Averaging 25 back when. And it's just playing.

[Mook]

I just like and better than Luca. Cause he more efficient than Luca.

[DJ Williams]

It's his best game of the season so far. Against the Bulls. January 26, 46, 10 and 7.

[T]

Average of 25 now is light.

[DJ Williams]

Get off me.

[T]

MPJ average 25, bro. It's light now.

[Mook]

MPJ really liked it.

[T]

No, he is like that. But I'm saying back that is not scoring, bro. If you average 25, you was hooping, bro.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah. Cause they only average 100 points a game. Yeah, it was killing end up. So what.

[Mooc]

Like Luca nice. He's super nice. I guess I just don't like how his look compared to everybody else. I can see that.

[DJ Williams]

I think his effortless is the same as Shay's. Just look different. Cause he do stuff.

[Mooc]

That's crazy.

[T]

That's crazy right there.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

He's unbelievable at basketball.

[DJ Williams]

His pace is his pace no matter what. That's tough.

[T]

I just think you could never win like this though.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

I feel like he hold the ball and got the ball so long and it's slow.

[T]

So it take a long time.

[Mooc]

Like every time Luka score, it's like seven on the clock.

[T]

Look at the rest of the team too they just standing there.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[T]

Just looking at him.

[Mook]

Y' all don't deserve the ball, bro.

[T]

That's what it looked like, though. But he played with LeBron James.

[Mooc]

Might be true, but I'm just saying, like, when I look at, like, SGA and them, it looked like a fun brand of basketball. Even though he getting 30 points a game, it don't look like nobody else can eat.

[T]

Cause he going downhill a lot.

[Mooc]

Yeah. I still see Jalen Williams and them still having moments. I still see Chet having moments.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Like, even though Austin, Reaves and Bron, they who they are, it's like, tough to watch sometimes.

[T]

Luke could shoot a lot of slow sidesteps, fades. That's yank more.

[Mook]

Damn heel, bro.

[T]

It's faster.

[Mook]

That's why, my boy. If Luke in the conversation on God, aunt need to be up there, bro. Ain't no way.

[T]

Ain't no way it should be in there. I agree with you, Ant.

[Mooc]

Better than Luca.

[Mook]

Yes, better.

[T]

Only reason I would say it, because he played both sides, bro.

[Mook]

Yes, bro. And that's y' all high on that two way.

[T]

Oh, yeah.

[Mook]

And his shooting percentages. I'm sure I could be wrong, but I'm sure. And shooting the ball bear in the Luca this year.

[DJ Williams]

Percentage wise. If you ask me which one I would take between the two, I'm taking a too. Just because he gonna compete more, bro. Yeah, he gonna compete more. Yeah.

[T]

I mean, he ranks there at 30, 29.

[Mook]

Yeah, bro. That's. That's crazy, bro. And my shooting 40 from the three.

[T]

I'll give you 30 and guard the other team. Best players.

[Mooc]

50, 40, 80, probably.

[Mook]

Oh, God, bro, he better than. That ain't better than Luca, bro.

[DJ Williams]

Recipes. Jesse Jackson talks. Won't be here.

[Mook]

Jesse died.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, man. Recipes. Jesse Jackson, man, this morning, man.

[T]

If I make the 93, bro.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

How old was Jesse?

[Mook]

Probably like 84 or some like that.

[Mooc]

84 is a long time to live.

[Mook]

That's when I want to go. I don't know if he's really 84.

[DJ Williams]

He's seen a lot of advances in his lifetime, man.

[Mooc]

Shout out Jesse Jackson stuff and see all that 84.

Amazing life, bro.

[Mook]

[Mooc]

[Mook]

He only know Detroit, bro. Y' all know how Malcolm is.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, Detroit malk for sure. All right. Jalen Brown plus 5,000 if you're a bed man sleep hell of a season so far. We wanted to see what first option JB look like. He tapped the 29, 7 and 5. Best game so far against the Clippers. He had 55 and 3 killing Kawhi James Harden.

[T]

Yeah bro.

[Mook]

He is not bro.

[T]

You never seen. You never seen a 75 guy do.

[Mook]

The he do cuz it's not, bro.

[DJ Williams]

11.

[Mooc]

He is like a amazing basketball player. The that he do is, like, off the charts. But he's not the best.

[Mook]

He's not the best, bro. He is cold as he took the.

[DJ Williams]

Ball from his kneecaps yesterday.

[Mooc]

More crazy, like, what's crazier, him or LeBron?

[T]

LeBron, bro, this is 75 with handles, bro.

[Mooc]

We never see anything like, John Bradley.

[T]

Could never do none of this.

[DJ Williams]

Could never.

[Mook]

He couldn't even have the same skill set, bro.

[DJ Williams]

What I'm saying.

[T]

Was 7 5.

[DJ Williams]

Y', all, man, could never. Y' all mean.

[T]

Could not do this.

[Mooc]

Y' all think it's crazier than LeBron, though? Yes.

[T]

I walked in the gym and seen him and LeBron. I'm gonna look at Wimby, bro. I'm like, this seven, five.

[Mooc]

No, you gonna look at one. Because he that talk the way LeBron move at six, eight, six, nine, whatever.

[T]

I'm amazing LeBron. But this 75 with, bro, that not.

[Mook]

Coming close to LeBron. J.

[Mooc]

Is greater when LeBron run faster than the guard. The point guard, that is greater.

[T]

100.

[Mooc]

No, I'm just saying, like. Like, if I walk in the gym.

[T]

Yeah, if I walk in the gym and see a 75 playing point guard and really doing it, I'm gonna be like, what the. This the best fight I ever seen.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah. Them in a pickup game, watching them both do amazing stuff. He'd be like, damn, I've never seen this at all. This is crazy.

[Mooc]

Like, somebody that weighed 268 pounds. 270.

[T]

Nah, move that fast. He probably the better player. He looks crazy, but this nigga's amazing.

[Mooc]

Like, the first time, what they saying? No glazing. But the first time I seen LeBron, I just couldn't believe. Like, I seen Joe Johnson. He was 6 8, 2 60. And I seen how he moved. He moved like a truck. Like, then I seen LeBron.

[T]

He flying.

[DJ Williams]

I'm like, what the fuck?

[T]

And they move like Derrick Rose.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, like how he matching you with speed.

[Mooc]

Yeah, like how, bro? Like, what the fuck?

[Mook]

No, no.

[DJ Williams]

Shout out to Wimby, man.

[Mooc]

Then he hit his head on the backboard.

[Mook]

Wemby is cold, though, for sure. He just too inconsistent right now for y' all to just smack that label.

[DJ Williams]

Nah, bro, we stamped it the first game of the season, bro. Fit our narrative, bro. Shout out to Wimby.

[Mooc]

We roll. He gonna be.

[DJ Williams]

He's burning.

[Mooc]

I ain't gonna lie. Next year, he probably gonna be best Player in the league.

[DJ Williams]

Like you said it. Take that initial step. Yeah. Next year. Yeah. Wimby unlocked.

[T]

Go ahead and retire.

[Mook]

I'll take Wemby over Giannis being the best player in the league when Bron Lee.

[T]

Nah, give me Giannis.

[Mook]

Nah, I'm taking. I'm taking Wimby.

[T]

Give me Giannis.

[DJ Williams]

I still think that guy Endeavor got something to say.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Yogis is the best player, too.

[Mook]

Yoga's about to get to back to the horses, I should say. He's still.

[T]

He's still better than all the niggas.

[DJ Williams]

You see what the market he said. You know the answer to that. I want my horses to win.

[Mooc]

You think that when we be the face of the league next year or whenever LeBron retire, you think it'd be Wimby?

[Mook]

It's Wimby, bro.

[Mooc]

Y' all think so?

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, I think they grooming him to be.

[Mook]

Cause Joker don't want. I mean, Joker don't even want to be sure. He don't want it.

[T]

We'll be on that. He want it.

[Mooc]

Donovan Mitchell having a hell of a year, Lou. I see you pulled that up.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah. Shout out to my boy Don. He going crazy.

[Mooc]

I think he the same boat as A ae. Devin Booker, Jalen Brown. I think they all in the same boat.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Second tier MVP votes, niggas.

[T]

D. Wade with a burner, bro.

[Mooc]

He is. He's cold.

[DJ Williams]

You know what's crazy? I wish I would have got James early in the season because the struggles that they had. Don was still hooping, but the team success was so low that he wasn't even consideration. Cause he's still been balling all year, bro. He's the only reason that team was afloat.

[Mooc]

James unlocked our pro, man stretch.

[DJ Williams]

Jared Allen.

[Mooc]

Jared Allen hooping now, But I won't even say that.

[T]

Cause he was killing before James came.

[Mook]

No, not like that.

[T]

He was on the right track, bro. He had 40, 29. Then James Harden.

[Mook]

He knew the trade was coming.

[DJ Williams]

But this is what's crazy. 48 bit, one shot.

[Mooc]

What's crazy to me, everybody was saying he was on the trade block.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[T]

Oh, he was half said it, too. His ass was scratching.

[DJ Williams]

And then they said, oh, never mind.

[T]

His ass was out of there.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, he was gone. Literally.

[Mooc]

They.

[DJ Williams]

They were flew here.

[Mook]

We trading you off to this? Yeah, them stats. We're trading.

[Mooc]

That's all right. Come on, bro. He's unlocked, bro.

[Mook]

That's a big difference move.

[T]

A huge difference.

[Mooc]

But didn't he play with James and Brooklyn? Was he in there in Brooklyn.

[DJ Williams]

I think he might have been gone. He got crazy. He's part of the trade. He's part of trade.

[Mook]

Shout out to Jerry Allen, though, man, I'm glad you in your bag now. Cause Cleveland is a problem. They still. I told you, I got them coming out the East.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, you hounding. You hounding, Cash.

[Mooc]

I ain't mad at that. They gotta. I. I still got Detroit or the Knicks for some reason. I don't know why, though.

[Mook]

I like Detroit. I know my Knicks is just for J. Mills, just for our little narrative, but I think if that matchup really happened, bro, I got the Cavs, bro.

[DJ Williams]

Oh, yeah.

[Mooc]

I don't want the Knicks to win just cause of J. Mills.

[T]

Right?

[Mooc]

Just literally, like, that's what I like. If somebody loves a team so much and they talk about them, I'm going against them every, like, the pace.

[Mook]

The rest of you Knicks fans ain't no hate. Y'. All, y'. All. We really don't even care how y' all feel.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, y' all don't really matter. Cause we know if we was in the playoffs, I wouldn't be there long.

[Mooc]

And I fuck with Cat. Cat, My dog. But J. Mills love the Knick so much, he was calling me when the Hawks like, the Hawks ass.

[Mook]

Oh, yeah. Well, y' all made that Trey Young.

[DJ Williams]

Oh, my God, he was going crazy.

[Mook]

Look at my dog, man.

[Mooc]

Somebody getting teagued. Some life support. He's done.

[DJ Williams]

Oh, man. All right, man. Let's get in the super chat this morning. Dr. Zay, he said Kate or Brunson off the eye test.

[Mook]

And why give me K if we just doing.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Six, seven, Whatever height he is.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, yeah, but go see Jalen Brunson. He's really good at basketball.

[Mook]

Nah, facts. Jalen Brunson, a dog.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, a real dog.

[Mooc]

Hey, just a side note. I don't. Everybody kept writing me yesterday. What did KD do?

[DJ Williams]

Allegedly, he was on his burner account talking crazy about people.

[Mook]

I still don't know, bro.

[Mooc]

I don't know. They kept saying, y' all duck. KD talk about kd Jeff.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, allegedly, he had a burner account. He was getting some. Some off.

[Mooc]

He always got a burner account, though.

[Mook]

Yeah, he said it. He said he had the burner because I just didn't know if it was that one. And with this, AI y', all, that's why I don't be speaking. I don't be really knowing, bro.

[Mooc]

Like, I don't even know.

[Mook]

I. Katie, I don't want to go too, too far into him.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, we'll ask him when he's seen in person.

[Mooc]

Turn up on these Katie, man, he ain't say that.

[T]

What did he say?

[DJ Williams]

Ah, yeah, they.

[Mook]

They say that, bro. That look weird, don't it? That he say some like that.

[Mooc]

I don't believe that y' all think he said that.

[Mook]

Now the bottom one, that third one, he probably did say that.

[DJ Williams]

He's low key. Redacted is crazy. You can't call your teammate redacted.

[Mooc]

Yes, you can.

[T]

Get a burner account. You can say whatever you want.

[DJ Williams]

Imagine you pass it to your teammate. He been with a shot.

[Mook]

I wish this podcast was in the 90s, bro. I wish we had this pod in the 90s. I would have said bro, like, damn, it's everything I say you got. No, you can't say. You got to say it this way. Like God Damn.

[T]

In the 90s you would have been going crazy.

[Mook]

Every voice and sing.

[Mooc]

You can't say nothing, bro.

[Mook]

Can't say nothing. No, for real, anything, bro. Is like legit off limits, bro.

[Mooc]

Yeah. Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

World's a different place, bro. World's a different respect. All right. Kelly Wilson needs more respect. He the best NBA prospect. Chris Boss Caju skill set with Tim D mindset. Also all the other top pick prospects so far. Shout out to Kel Wilson. Heal up, brother. I think got a fracture in his hand, but he's been killing a hell of a season so far.

[Mooc]

He gonna be out or he.

[DJ Williams]

I don't know if he's out for good, but I think he's out for him.

[Mooc]

Yeah, I respect that for sure.

[DJ Williams]

Take your time, brother. You are a top four pick. Shout out to college basketball though.

[Mook]

Still got him winning tonight.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, Cade is great, but I think the Pistons are more defensively driven than you guys are giving them credit for. I don't think he's quite at Luka's level. I think they'll be a defensive team.

[Mooc]

I think that's what make him good. Cause he a part of that defensive rotations now.

[Mook]

We all know this game it away.

[Mooc]

Yeah. We all know Luka on the other side of the basketball liability. Yeah. Yeah. So to be able to still get you 26, six points a game and still be a part of a really good defense, that says a lot about him. You know a lot.

[DJ Williams]

And it says more about Cade because obviously they're a defensive driven team. If that 25 go to 2021, they might lose some games, bro.

[Mooc]

Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

And y' all that all right. Jeff Moot, who y' all think Underrated. All time college basketball. Hooper. I say Pierre Jackson. He was cold at Baylor.

[Mooc]

Well, good question. Everybody can answer. Alex, who's yours? Underrated college player.

[Mook]

Sean Singletary.

[Mooc]

He was cold, nasty.

[DJ Williams]

That is cold.

[Mooc]

You know who was underrated? Kennedy. Winston was nasty. Little facts, March Madness. He was cold.

[T]

Winston was nasty.

[T]

[Mooc]

Damn, boy, I'm so glad we made this topic today. Whoever said who's that?

[Mook]

Rose?

[Mooc]

It's a great question because we had an argument at the gym the other day.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

And we was talking about ti versus 50 cent. Ti who y' all got ti oh, so put it this way, Mook. You only gotta win 11 songs though. Steps out of 20, right?

[T]

I like T.I. bro.

[Mooc]

You only gotta win 11. You think, T, I got a better 11 songs than 50.

[T]

11 songs for a versus 50 guy.

[Mooc]

Oh, he said, don't do that I'm.

[T]

Trying to think in the club, they're gonna play mini man.

[Mooc]

21.

[T]

21 questions is a banger. Wow.

[Mooc]

I get money.

[DJ Williams]

50 discographies. Crazy, bro.

[T]

Lankster is crazy.

[DJ Williams]

50S actually waiting clear.

[T]

Yeah. Oh, I don't know.

[Mooc]

Till I forgot he gonna play the.

[DJ Williams]

And that's a dub. You have to respect it.

[Mook]

That's a dub.

[T]

Nah, that's a dub, bro.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, that's.

[Mooc]

They play that in that club.

[T]

That shit's fire, bro.

[DJ Williams]

I think. I think it's a lot closer. People want to give it credit, though. I love.

[Mook]

I think I hit. That's kind of crazy to play that song, bro.

[Mooc]

Oh, TI I don't like the guy.

[DJ Williams]

What up game?

[Mook]

I think he got bangers.

[DJ Williams]

Hustle's ambition. That's a dub.

[Mook]

I'm just saying to play that power.

[Mooc]

If you don't back down.

[Mook]

I don't want against a TI Hit. Nigga, stop.

[Mooc]

I don't want to hear.

[T]

I think I can't be shop up there. I don't want to hear that.

[Mooc]

This is not the same comparison, but you know how we had that Chris Brown Usher battle, and I was like, usher got more, like, powerful songs. I guess you say bangers, but Chris Brown got way more hits. I think it's like this with 50 and ti that's the same. I think ti got way more wrong with either side.

[Mook]

You picking, though. I think Jermaine T. I got some shit.

[DJ Williams]

The problem is that some of these songs, people have to be honest with themselves when they play next to each other. Because you don't know me. Could clear a lot of stuff that people wouldn't like.

[Mooc]

Yeah. I got.

[DJ Williams]

Motivation. Bring them out top back what you know, if it ain't about the pain away. He got everything.

[DJ Williams]

Straight bangers, bro.

[Mooc]

[DJ Williams]

Shout out to Cooper flag man living up.

[Mooc]

I think he having a good rookie year. A phenomenal rookie year actually. But it's like comes with a lot of opportunity. The reason I think canuple year is better is because he with some gunners and he's not supposed to be doing what he's doing with Brandon Miller. Lamelo Miles.

[Mook]

You're right bro.

[Mooc]

He's actually supposed to be doing that.

[Mook]

That's true.

[Mooc]

Efficient. He damn near 50, 40, 90.

[T]

As a rookie is crazy.

[Mooc]

As a rookie is insane, bro. Yeah. And only averaging with a point less than Cooper. Cooper like you're not wrong and he playing for something.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

They trying to make the playoffs. Okay. Cooper and them's not even thinking about that.

[Mook]

No.

[Mooc]

Yeah, Hornets damn near. They play. They in the play in right now and they trying to sneak into the eighth season.

[DJ Williams]

So.

[Mook]

Yeah. I ain't mad at that. That's hard to average 20 on a team with three bona fide scores. For real.

[Mooc]

Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

And we talked about the game that Cooper flag just had against the Horners. Same game he had his career high as well. 34. 4 Get a 3 is a franchise record. Like you said, bro. His percentage and his splits is insane, bro. He's a crazy basketball as a.

[Mooc]

As a rookie, bro. It's just not. He's very. It's not normal to be 50, 40, 90 down there. Like it's impossible to do that for some superstars.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

To be that efficient on that team. Like you said, both ranchers got hella turmoil too.

[T]

You gotta be efficient on this thing.

[Mooc]

And it's your first year though, so.

[T]

There ain't that many shots out there still. Brandon Miller is going to shoot the ball.

[DJ Williams]

You know Melo gonna shoot the ball.

[T]

Bridges is shooting the ball, bro.

[DJ Williams]

That's elite basketball, bro.

[T]

Know he good too. They throwing it Appeal.

[Mook]

Thank you to man. I just. This is. I feel like how I feel about when Melo was a rookie, though. That's how I feel about K Canal couple.

[Mooc]

Yeah, he said what?

[T]

Cooper gonna get it though.

[Mook]

Melo was a rookie. He got robbed because he had a better year than LeBron.

[T]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Oh, Melo.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Yeah, Melo. Mello should have won rookie.

[Mook]

Yeah, Mello me got robbed.

[T]

But respect to the playoffs, bro.

[DJ Williams]

We will see, man. Shout out to both of those rookies doing their thing good class as well this year. Mip. Our guy Denny Aia. He gonna get it, man. After 25, seven he got.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

So yeah, he the most improved player.

[DJ Williams]

Jaylen Johnson.

[Mooc]

Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

Cause Jalen Johnson would have been an officer last year due to Adrian get hurt. I'm at 2410 and for sure Keonta.

[Mooc]

George up there too though.

[DJ Williams]

Come on, man. Plus 800 if you were betting, man. My boy averaging 24, 6 and 4. Messed up the tank, man.

[Mook]

Keep killing Keonta killer ain't a bad pick either though.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah. Starting off the season a little rough, my boy. Average is 20 so far. Yeah. Okay.

[Mooc]

I'mma go with Danny, Avi or George out of Utah to him.

[DJ Williams]

Okay. Got some sleepers in here as well. Anthony Black been playing really, really well after a couple months in the season started.

[Mooc]

It's quite a contract year for him too, right?

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Sir Ski engine time Bread.

[DJ Williams]

Time to get that chicken. Ryan Rollins as well emerged this year averaging 17, 6 and 5. I know it's looking wicked up there in Milwaukee, but he been doing his thing.

[T]

He's cold.

[DJ Williams]

Okay. Six men of the year so far. Nas Reid plus 190. Keldon Johnson. I ain't mad at this at all. Plus 30. Excuse me. 330. Jaime Hawkeyer Jr. Excuse me. Your guy. Plus 550. And Reed shepherd plus 1200.

[Mooc]

Yeah, Reed.

[DJ Williams]

I think his one would probably be Nas Reid looking like. I like Keldon Johnson, though. I like what Kelton Johnson's giving to that spurs team off the bench.

[Mooc]

I like homie.

[DJ Williams]

Okay, you like homie. I ain't mad at it.

[Mooc]

I think Kelden will win because he having a phenomenal year off the bench and they're winning. But Jamiakez, man, he playing well. He playing good basketball, bro.

[DJ Williams]

And his menace be spotty as hell.

[Mooc]

Yeah, bro, like 15 off the bench.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Shooting 50%.

[DJ Williams]

I ain't mad at him. Reed Sherber definitely had developed. I don't know about rookie of the year so far, but Nas Reed been holding down all year long. As well.

[Mooc]

I'm not mad at NAS either.

[DJ Williams]

I mean, S15 be needed, too.

[Mooc]

Yeah. But I like homie just a little bit.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, I ain't mad at all. All right. Coach of the year so far. J.B. biggerstaff, Jordan Ott, Coach Joe Missoula and Ms. Johnson. I think J.B. gotta get it, man.

[Mooc]

J.B. gonna get it. But Miles Missoula did, though. I'm going with Mitch. He got that young core. They develop faster than what people was thinking. Like, obviously, Wimby's a superstar. De' Aaron Fox is really good, but he made that jail better than I thought pretty quick.

[Mook]

He deserved more than anybody to me.

[DJ Williams]

Especially the way he embraced the younger players on that team. Like you said, figuring it all out, they look very cohesive. I mean, J.B. bickerstaff, last year we was talking about them making them take the hoodies off and tap in. Now look, now they number one in the east right now. Now Jordan Octo with a hell of a turnaround job. Nobody thought was going to be this decent this year.

[Mooc]

That's my guy.

[Mook]

Yeah, we got Dylan Brooks out of his body over there.

[DJ Williams]

Come on. Rear year, Joe Missoula also, like you said, the Celtics, we didn't expect him to be this year.

[Mooc]

Losing all them players and still being top two in the East.

[Mook]

Yeah, hell of a job, too.

[DJ Williams]

I.

[Mooc]

All those coaches are worthy of the award.

[Mook]

I ain't going to lie. Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

I ain't mad at it. All right, NBA champs, let's go here. OKC plus 130, the Nuggets plus 500. Cavs plus 1100. Knicks plus 1300. Spurs plus 1500, Celtics plus 1500, and Pistons plus 1500. What I see from here is basically the Western Conference is going to be winning championship again because they have no faith in any of the teams out of the East. Do y' all feel the same way? Yeah.

[Mook]

Yeah. East is cooked. The east is cooked. Cavs can't match up with okc.

[Mooc]

No, no, they can, but.

[T]

But most.

[Mook]

Cavs can match up with okc, bro.

[Mooc]

Okay, like, the Cavs being a good team is definitely. They can do that. They definitely a really good team. But the jail that fast going against a OKC team who just won a championship, who are on the same page like a motherfucker. It's going to be tough to beat them.

[Mook]

What if Jay. What if JT come back for the Celtics?

[Mooc]

Nah, it ain't enough. He ain't got enough time. Like, you gotta incorporate jt.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

Cause y' all been playing a Certain way. Now, y' all been playing through Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brown, Derrick White. That's y' all guys right now.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[Mooc]

JT come back, obviously he gonna be coming off the bench. They gotta incorporate him. He gonna be playing probably 20 minutes. 15 to 20 minutes. That's not really gonna do nothing. Eventually he gonna ramp it up to about 25, 28 minutes. Then y' all gonna have to start him. Y' all gonna go on a losing streak or y' all gonna get in a playoff game and y' all lose. Y' all gonna revamp the lineup starting, and y' all ain't gonna be jelling like that to me. I honestly feel like JT should just sit out the rest of the year. And I love jt. I know that's like my brother, that's how I fuck with him. But like, I just think he need like a fresh start. Like in the middle of the year. That's tough, bro. Everybody already playing full stride.

[Mook]

What if the Nuggets come out the West? Do y' all see anybody in the east having a chance? Let's just say J.T. sit out. So we'll delete the Celtics. Can the Cavs or Knicks or Pistons compete with the Nuggets?

[DJ Williams]

I think the best team that would give them a chance probably would be the Pistons, just because of how they play defense. But I don't see nobody doing nothing with Joker, bro. Unfortunately, he just that mismatched. I don't think nobody can get even as good as Cat is, bro. Cat can't go with Joker, bro.

[Mooc]

That's the worst thing that can happen to the east is the Nuggets come out to the West. Yeah, like everybody could compete against okc. I'm keeping it real. Like the Pacers last year. Year Tyrese don't get hurt. We could be talking about the Pacers as the champs. Honest fact.

[Mook]

Yeah, that's rich. That's what I'm saying. Like.

[Mooc]

Like anybody could compete with okc. And this is no disrespect to Oklahoma City, but like they match up better cuz they don't have a crazy post present.

[Mook]

Right.

[Mooc]

It's guard heavy in the east. And OKC got phenomenal guards, but they can match up a little better that big. Like Jokic when he come over here. There's no bigs in the SH besides NB and nb. We not talking about Philly right now. Yeah, but there's nobody that can match up with Yogi out of these groups. Like he's going to murder Cat. Yeah, It's Christmas going to murder Jared Allen. Yeah, even for the Celtics, he going murder Christmas.

[DJ Williams]

You think Vusovich about to do something lambay?

[Mooc]

Yeah, it's cursed.

[DJ Williams]

Which ain't over defense at all.

[Mooc]

It's ugly.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, if I'm the east, I would want to see okc. But yeah, I ain't matter. We will see, man. Second half of the season. Best performances so far the season your guy be here AE55 against the Spurs. Go ahead and load it up, blue. Yeah, textbook.

[Mooc]

Now.

[T]

Up.

[Mooc]

Man, he. He's so explosive.

[T]

Damn, I wish I had bounce like.

[Mooc]

[Mook]

So Those are the 10 points up turn.

[T]

[T]

[Mook]

He not.

[T]

[Mooc]

He not.

[T]

He not consistent because he don't play through tweens.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah.

[T]

If he decide today I'm getting 40, he's getting 40.

[Mooc]

He was 2 for 7.

[T]

Better than KD, bro.

[Mook]

He's not bro. Stop putting that in the air.

[T]

He is, bro.

[DJ Williams]

That one. Yeah. Killing K. He's better.

[Mook]

That's some old school.

[T]

He still got braids, bro. Can't with him him.

[Mook]

K is my boy from the cookout, bro.

[T]

Look at this.

[DJ Williams]

Look at that.

[Mook]

[T]

[Mook]

Now that's true.

[DJ Williams]

[T]

And one lady caught a foul.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, man.

[T]

[Mooc]

Time that to himself.

[Mook]

I know, bro, but he said for a mistake taking the. I'm just talking about what he said to the media. He said he mistakenly took the Y. I mean, what did he take?

[DJ Williams]

[Mooc]

Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

James Harden also going To Cleveland. We didn't see this happening. What's crazier that James, because he started off killing this year. Even though the Clippers was bad, we didn't expect him to be a Cleveland Cavalier at all.

[Mook]

The narrative with Trey Lee was out at the beginning of the season.

[T]

I didn't expect them to be on the Wizards, though.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, the Wizards was a crazy goal.

Spice it up, bro.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah. Please zoom in.

[Mooc]

Okay, bro.

[Mook]

Nah, bro.

[T]

Travel crazy.

[DJ Williams]

They're paying 18 million to join the conference. 5 million to the NCAA to join FBS. Estimate 2 to 4 million. Or air travel for hosting other opponents there. They got to pay for people to pull up and play them and pay to join the league.

[Mook]

Invest in what you believe in.

[T]

Just stay where y' all at, bro.

[Mook]

Invest in what you believe in, bro.

[DJ Williams]

That's a lot of money. We keep talking about all these programs going broke. I mean, this is how.

[Mook]

No, no, it's not.

[DJ Williams]

Conferences.

[Mook]

No, it's not.

[Mooc]

This is Bibby school, right?

[T]

Yeah.

[Mook]

All this for football.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, but.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah, that's.

[DJ Williams]

It's a lot, bro.

[Mook]

Cool, bro. What. What league are they leaving? The Mac is ain't them. Yeah. Whoever that. Whoever that is. That's a goddamn AAU program. We headed over there to the Mac. Ain't that ball statement.

[DJ Williams]

Yes.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Williams]

Conference.

[Mook]

But hell yeah.

[DJ Williams]

We don't get no league money for five years.

[T]

It's crazy.

[Mook]

Invest.

[DJ Williams]

We'll be broke in five years.

[Mook]

No, we not about to get some better recruits.

[Mooc]

Somebody must be donating to that school.

[DJ Williams]

Somebody tapped in. Somebody cares.

[Mook]

Sacramento is this. This is where Mike Bibby is coaching, though.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah, but this is, I believe, football stuff, so.

[Mook]

Oh, okay.

[DJ Williams]

No. Shout out to the man. Shout out to Sacramento State, man. Make the most of it. That is crazy with these stipulations. We always talking about these schools going broke, but. And that's how it goes. All right, man. A little NFL news. The Dolphins released Ty Reek Hill. A lot of people are surprised by this. He has a lot to recover from. From major injury last year. Year. They trying to save some chicken. Yeah, they released. Go back to the Chiefs Chub as well. Y' all think he going back to the Chiefs?

[T]

Please go back to the Chiefs.

[Mook]

That's hard if he do.

[DJ Williams]

Yeah. Ryan Clark was talking about this and he was basically saying, like the next move for him would define his legacy. And we've seen a lot of first and second ballot hall of Famers that did not get that call. Like t o things of that nature. Because the moves they made later in their decisions.

[Mooc]

Career.

[DJ Williams]

Excuse me to rek is nice, but go ahead and play it, man.

[Guest Speaker]

The Dolphins released Tyreek Hill today. New general manager John Eric Sullivan and new head coach Jeff Halfley wanted a clean slate. They wanted to move on without a voice in the locker room that wasn't going to echo what they thought should be echoed. That wasn't going to be the sort of leader that they wanted around the new culture they were trying to. Trying to build but think about that. This is a dude that's an eight time Pro Bowler, five time All Pro, one of the greatest and best wide receivers of his generation. And even though he's coming off of injury, you make a decision that that's not who we want to start with. And what that tells me is this. It matters more about who you are at some points than what you can do. Let's think about Antonio Brown. Antonio Brown, in my opinion is a first back ballot hall of Famer. When we say Larry Fitzgerald, when we say Julio, when we say Calvin Johnson, we should also mention Antonio Brown. But it's some of the things about who he was away from the field and in his last game, who he was on the field that we talk about more. Look at Terrell Owens should have been a first ballot hall of Famer. And what the hall did him was wrong. But we also know the reasons they pointed to as to why he wasn't a first ballot hall of Famer, which was bullshit crap. But we don't always hold the pins and the decisions in our hand.

[T]

My sport.

[Mook]

Yeah. What I did for the game.

[DJ Williams]

I agree.

[T]

It's about bro.

[Mook]

That's what I'm saying. If Tyreek Hill got Hall of Fame numbers, he's a Hall of Famer.

[T]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Would give a if he was on powder too N real. Yeah, bro. What I'm doing on the field, like if I'm killing, I'm killing.

[DJ Williams]

Like yeah.

[Mooc]

Them be over there rolling, bro.

[DJ Williams]

It's never bad when ch.

[Mooc]
