[Mike]

Yeah, I don't remember.

[Bishop B]

Slut shoe.

[Mike]

Speaking of fives, I'm.

[Host/Moderator]

No. Now talk to him, young Nacho.

[Mike]

What we got?

[Host/Moderator]

Oh, okay. It's a five pie today.

[Mike]

Look, man, if you don't know, these are Tokyo fives they just released. Again, shout out to StockX for showing love and letting me get a pair. Cause I wanted these, boy, back in 2011.

[Host/Moderator]

Yes, sir.

[Mike]

Shout out to my boy John Lucas. When I was on the Timberwolves, he wore these, and he was trying to tell me that they cost more than my outfit that I had on that day. And actually, at that time, they was going for a nice price. But to be able to get these now, you know, getting on Stockx, build a cap, a pair of shoes that I wanted at that time, that was just a little bit out of my budget. But to be able to have them now, Stockx show love. And I was able to go on that website, grab them. Anything you need from stockx.com you can get it. Yeah, for sure.

[Host/Moderator]

Shout out to the partners. And you know what's so crazy about that shoe? They were so limited at the time. Look at this. In our size back in the day. What size is that right there? 11. It's a 12 right here. And the 12, if you wanted the original version of this shoe, which was very, very hard to get, it is $6,000.

[Mike]

$6,000, which is crazy.

[Host/Moderator]

But can you please pull up the picture of Russell Westbrook in the Tokyo 5? I remember everybody in, like, the old Nike Talk forums, and all the shoe people was pissed off because everybody wanted to shoot, and he wore this outfit with them and had everybody mad. My boy came in with the craziest fit nose, and people were shitty at him. That was like, damn, I want this shoe this bad. And this is how Russ violated them. They was on rust top for that.

[Mike]

Shout out to Russ, man.

[Host/Moderator]

That's Russ in true Russ form for sure.

[Mike]

But shout out to StockX once again.

[Bishop B]

Cuz you could have got them off at Wake with the all bug joints.

[Mike]

These. If I had these. When I said Wake 4 Wake Forest. I've been the filthiest man.

[Bishop B]

What Scuff the off.

[Host/Moderator]

Oh, one and done for sure. That yellow suede was getting violated in the pace. But what. What school could you rock it with though?

[Mike]

That would have been hard, man. Iowa, Missouri.

[Bishop B]

Think about get them off at Purdue.

[Host/Moderator]

You might be wilding, but usc, if you got the right jersey on, you can get some off. It ain't too close, but it'd be crazy.

[Bishop B]

Yes. That was four quick schools out the gate for sure.

[Mike]

For sure. Yeah. Colorado, definitely. Yeah.

[Bishop B]

Clean them up like Mike do all this.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah, Mike does violate shoes, man. Take them all and they come golfing shoes when people want them. That's crazy. I'm saying over the space. Jeff Stockx. I need them because I was supposed.

[Bishop B]

To respect the spaces.

[Host/Moderator]

Z, he's out of pocket for that.

[Bishop B]

Make you want to make your own cleats. Like, what is wrong with you? I have some of my best games in space, bro.

[Mike]

You haven't even played good ever. Like, what did you said you was trash. Martin said you was trash, bro.

[Bishop B]

Roland Martin still cannot hit the ball.

[Mike]

Roland Martin said, look at his hand. Look at his hand placement. I said pause. You don't even put the knuckle right. I was like, damn.

[Barbie]

Oh, man.

[Host/Moderator]

He followed your golf game in five minutes, man. That was crazy.

[Mike]

That's all I ever have.

[Bishop B]

You got better at golf. The world wants to know though. Honestly. No, I've actually gotten worse probably since then. Oh, why? I mean, I ain't gonna place blame on y' all tour or nothing, but.

[Mike]

You the one that made up the tour.

[Bishop B]

A little busy.

[Mike]

You made the tour up.

[Bishop B]

When do we go to live?

[Mike]

6, 7. I like that one.

[Bishop B]

Respect though. Get back out there, man, before it get too cold, man. Ice too cold right now.

[Host/Moderator]

You got about two days.

[Mike]

You got similar.

[Bishop B]

I wasn't blessed to have somebody. Oh, damn. I'll be at the. I'll be at the. At the gym though. I'm just going to call you Pop.

[Mike]

See. Oh, he definitely. You can't wait. See if he turn it on.

[Host/Moderator]

Shout out to Coach T. He gonna have it sit later for sure. But you talk about the fives. See, my problem is early on, when the mentality dropped, I was early on them and saying how far they were and was nothing. And now they're expensive as hell and now they shoot a year conversations. It is crazy, cuz. Those people slept on those. To me, I feel like people slept on fives this year, even though. I mean, listen, a lot of shoes came out this year. Like the fact that we got Tokyo fives. This has been the craziest shoe year ever. But it's been a lot of files. I might be one of the only people on Earth still that likes retro fives. I know y' all just be, like, indifferent about them.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, I. I'm a fan of Five, and I like how you are. I like the Fresh Prince files or whatever y' all call them. I roll with them. But it's. It's only like three that I really rock with, man.

[Host/Moderator]

We got grapes, we got Fire reds, we got metallics, we got Tokyo's. I'm missing something else as well. We got all the awake files that dropped. It's been some heat this year, bro.

[Mike]

I'm not a Five guru, but I wanted those Tokyos, so I appreciate stopgicks once again, love.

[Host/Moderator]

I ain't mad.

[Mike]

Great pickup, for sure.

[Host/Moderator]

Listen, man, there's been a lot of stuff going on in the sports world. First things first, I want to ask y' all how y' all felt about this. Stephen A. Smith went on Mellowpod, shout out to 7pm Brooklyn, shout out to the gang. And he had some bars to get off about LeBron. Go ahead, let's hear a little bit of this and give the context to our viewers. If they ain't heard it by now, I ain't surprised if you haven't.

[Mike]

LeBron.

[Bishop B]

I don't like his.

[Mike]

Not a little bit.

[Bishop B]

You do not understand the links this man would go to. This dates back more than a decade. I believe he's one way publicly, he's another way privately.

[Mike]

You know, he might not be interviewed and he might not be quoted, but.

[Bishop B]

The things he says and the things.

[Mike]

He has said to people, it's gotten.

[Bishop B]

Back to me, the things that he's tried to do.

[Mike]

If it were up to him, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's some low, low. The day that he rolled up on me courtside.

[Bishop B]

It was the day my contract was.

[Mike]

Announced that I had stayed with espn. Go back and look at the camera angles. I arrived there in the first quarter.

[Bishop B]

He rolled up on me in the third quarter. This is 2025.

[Mike]

We got technology everywhere. TNT is a nationally televised game.

[Bishop B]

How is it we got one angle and the only angle you see was of him in his face.

[Mike]

But you see the back of my peanut head.

[Bishop B]

I noticed because I know, I know.

[Mike]

Thinking too, about camera angles. I determine them half the time. Do this angle, do this angle, do that angle. Okay, we can cut it here.

[Bishop B]

My business, straight up. Do you think you felt set?

[Host/Moderator]

Whoever thought that we would have a world where both Skip and Stephen a. Don't like LeBron?

[Bishop B]

Yeah. To me going on tour with it, I'm nothing. You. You done said it on multiple platforms, big platforms. You ain't going on like, your. Your local station. And you've been on the pivot. Now. You sat down with Mellow and did this, bro. I mean, you got your off. You know what I'm saying? You don't fault. You don't rock with him. Like, don't make it a battle. You know what I'm saying? It is what it is. I just don't like the ongoing. And mellow, you know, that's his man's. And. But I would have at least. I don't know, Mello. I don't know how Mellow went about it, because I haven't really watched this yet, but I just probably would have told him to hold on, bro.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

You know, I mean, let's chill out a little bit. Let's get your off. How you feel? But I would have, like, not checked him, but hollered at him about it. You know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna let nobody do y' all like that.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah. And that was gonna be my next question about it. Is Stephen A. Smith and Mello have a really good relationship, and obviously Mellow and Brian is homies. People said that Mellow was out of pocket for allowing him to do that on his platform. I don't really know how to feel about that. I want to ask how y' all feel about that? Because I don't. I mean, he don't like him, but he didn't really go too crazy, in my opinion.

[Mike]

No, I don't think Stephen A. Said nothing bad. He just said, I don't like him. He just said that they don't. They don't rock with each other. But he ain't like, disrespecting. He ain't say, like, user, you weak. You know, I mean, I'll whoop you or something. You know what I mean? Look, we don't got a good relationship. We don't like each other. Yeah, that's the point. He did some things and said some things that I ain't like, and I said some things he ain't like. And Melo did a good job. He was like, yo, I'm trying to Bridge the gap. Like, can we make it work?

[Bishop B]

Yeah.

[Mike]

He was like, if you go down your lane, he go down his lane. It is what it is. But I was going, if y' all could work it out, I rock with both of y'. All. Hopefully it can work out, but if it don't, I will. Like, I'll let you say your piece on here or whatever, but.

[Bishop B]

Okay. So mellow did that. That's. That's solid. I just. I mean, I didn't want to put Melo on the spotlight there. Cause he always got to deal with why you ain't say this about something that somebody that brought up? So I don't know, bro. I just would have.

[Mike]

Me.

[Bishop B]

I would have been like, all right.

[Mike]

Yeah, I probably wouldn't have talked. I mean, obviously it was a hot topic that. That week. So you gotta kind of talk about it. But I ain't mad. If you don't like Bron, you don't like Bron. Like, do your shit. I mean. Cause Bron not gonna talk about you. But obviously it's a way for him to stay. I'm not saying Stephen ain't relevant. Obviously, he relevant. He on TV every day. But it's a way to get people to keep coming to his platform.

[Bishop B]

Keep your name in the town, you.

[Mike]

Know what I mean? So now every all year, when the Lakers play, people gonna anticipate to see what Stephen A gonna say about Brian.

[Bishop B]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So he know what he doing.

[Bishop B]

I can't wait for you to come on here. We checking about Brian on this part. I am gonna sit your ass right here, Stephen A. And we're gonna have one off for sure. I'm on that.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Bishop B]

I got you Mellow.

[Host/Moderator]

You got some words for Stephen, you.

[Bishop B]

Know what I mean? I got some words for Stephen. I ain't like that.

[Host/Moderator]

Hey, it was funny because everybody was.

[Mike]

[Host/Moderator]

But why everybo to LeBron.

[Mike]

[Host/Moderator]

[Mike]

[Host/Moderator]

Because LeBron, everybody gotta be real delicate. And he like, hey, man, y' all forget that. When we got into it, he went on Pat McAfee show the very next day.

[Bishop B]

He did. And that's why I was cool with him doing this thing. Cuz he did his 16 minute spill on his. But I'm. My thing is, it's old now to me. I don't know what's been going on since then.

[Mike]

Yeah, you did.

[Bishop B]

You did your. You did pivot. You did Melo, bro. I don't think he does. Who else want me to pull up?

[Mike]

[Mike]

Oh, what?

[Host/Moderator]

[Bishop B]

No, we own that. And don't come in here, talk about guys. I don't want to talk. No, you're talking about it today.

[Host/Moderator]

Not being you pot. That's one thing I hate when you see people on everybody else platform talking crazy, going, watching again. Well, you know I'm gonna talk about this. No, we talking about that, too. Goddamn it.

[Bishop B]

That's like when you meet the girl that's going, and now you finally get your chance.

[Host/Moderator]

[Bishop B]

I want to settle down. No, I want to see that trick, too.

[Mike]

You let that tear gone. I know I look better than that.

[Host/Moderator]

[Bishop B]

We got like that on my mama.

[Mike]

Oh, me. But before we.

[Host/Moderator]

I want to ask, have y' all been in a situation where you've been paused in between two friends and like, y' all so cool, but they not getting.

[Mike]

Only thing you can pause that because.

[Host/Moderator]

I had to pause it. That was crazy.

[Mike]

You've been in the battle between. That's crazy. Yeah, I have.

[Host/Moderator]

Excuse me. What?

[Tech Advertiser]

Whoa.

[Host/Moderator]

Oh, we fine today.

[Mike]

God damn it. Let me work. It could be two girl. I said two friends.

[Bishop B]

I'm pray. You know. Let's go got.

[Mike]

See y' all minding the gutter. You immediately with the two guys. You said what? I We talk about two ladies. Hey, man, I quit.

[Bishop B]

I quit.

[Mike]

No, but dj, you right, though, bro.

[Host/Moderator]

It's.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, it's tough when you cool with both sides.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

Both your homies at odds. And you just cool with everybody and got do with the problem.

[Bishop B]

I've been in that situation, and I. It ain't been like a no podcast form or nothing. But I'm like, bro, I always say you got to take accountability for. You was wrong. Good.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

You know what I mean? Because we really don't know what LeBron said about, like, Stephen A Keep saying he got all these receipts, which he probably do. But we don't know the real. We just know they don't like each other.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

So it's tough when you're in between. Well, in between that dynamic to where, yo, both of your boys is calling you like, man, that you gonna hang with that. I don't rock with that. I always play neutral, though.

[Host/Moderator]

I'm a thousand percent.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, but you got to tell if a wrong. You got to let Them know.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

For sure.

[Host/Moderator]

I asked that because holidays is coming up and it's been part of the teaching our family that it's been some issues in the summer that ain't been resolved. So we try to figure out how Thanksgiving gonna look. And I'm like, damn.

[Bishop B]

Yeah. I don't have them type of problems.

[Mike]

Yeah. I really don't talk to my family.

[Bishop B]

Damn. Not at all.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, I did. I deal with more friend.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

Family feuding, I don't do. My family's a lot older than me too. I do got younger cousins, but it's mostly like my people. Like a couple homegirls I know or a couple of my homeboys that I know that's probably at odds for the moment about some. But yeah, family I don't.

[Mike]

Yeah, I think my family too, spread it apart. Like, we too. We ain't nobody that close, like, around each other.

[Bishop B]

Yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah. My family's like that too, but all the cousins, our generation trying to do something because all of us got kids. And now we grew up with family. And like, we had a little bit of disconnect, but I understood why be like, yeah, y' all cool over there. Cause it get tricky for no reason.

[Host/Moderator]

Okay, what's the name of the drink again? What's the ingredients?

[Bishop B]

Cutting pineapples and shit in the studio.

[Barbie]

Because when I was cutting fresh fruit, y' all complained about it.

Fresh fruits.

[Barbie]

Dead fruit or fresh fruit?

[Mike]

Okay, it's actually pretty good though. I don't know. That sponge right there is holding it down.

[Bishop B]

[Barbie]

He gonna be eating it later on in the show.

[Mike]

Watch. Yeah, yeah.

[Bishop B]

Let it soak up a little.

[Mike]

HR this is crazy.

[Bishop B]

I didn't like that Barbie drinks. Barbie, I always like your drinks. Cuz he accused me of hand signals earlier. I didn't. I didn't do that this time. You got this too. No, that's not wow at all.

[Host/Moderator]

All right Mark, while you here be here. Listen the church been wild this week. We got two pastors that's been out here acting it up. I want to ask you which one is the worst of the two. Let's go ahead and load the first one up. My dog had the Billy in the church for motivation.

[Bishop B]

Not just for me.

[Mike]

It's for the church.

[Bishop B]

It's for us.

[Mike]

Can we drive it?

[Barbie]

No.

[Mike]

Can we drive it? He said no.

[Narrator/Reporter]

What?

[Host/Moderator]

All right.

[Mike]

Or this. He said we got the Billy in the church. Can't drive it.

[Host/Moderator]

It shout out to Pastor Win.

[Sponsor Voice]

Clear up a major misunderstanding that's gone viral on social media.

[Narrator/Reporter]

On Sunday, Pastor Marvin Winans hosted a day of giving. Members of Perfecting church were asked to donate $11,000, raise another thousand to help.

[Mike]

Finish the new sanctuary in Detroit and.

[Narrator/Reporter]

Support their community programs as those giving.

[Mike]

2,000 or more to come to the.

[Narrator/Reporter]

Front of the church first with others following from the largest donors to those donating as little as A$62. Roberta McCoy went viral after someone posted video of her coming to the front with less than 2,000 claiming she was rebuked by Pastor Winans. I spoke exclusively with both Pastor Winans.

[Mike]

And Roberta McCoy who says she's been.

[Narrator/Reporter]

Attacked online since that video began spreading.

[Bishop B]

Wow.

[Narrator/Reporter]

You're the woman.

[Host/Moderator]

She only had 1200 video.

[Narrator/Reporter]

He did not rebuke you.

[Barbie]

He absolutely did not not rebuke me. Now there's a difference. There was a correction because.

[Mike]

Let me clearly state that check clear.

[Barbie]

Pastor gave instruction on the lines to get into.

[Bishop B]

I was calling because the whole church was giving and it was our day of giving and the whole church was coming and we didn't want people standing.

[Mike]

The mothers and all that.

[Bishop B]

So I was calling them by increments.

[Mike]

And we had someone that had given.

[Bishop B]

Out of before and I corrected it.

[Mike]

And I told everybody to listen and.

[Bishop B]

Come when you call and that's all that was.

[Mike]

All right.

[Host/Moderator]

We couldn't hear Mike this lying. We saw the video. He said I need two beds. He went through. He said 1200.

[Barbie]

I would have snatched my check.

[Host/Moderator]

Go over there.

[Mike]

He playing with. Playing my.

[Bishop B]

Why are you giving $2,000 to the church anymore, man?

[Mike]

They like that Martin episode, man. Somebody got these people in control.

[Host/Moderator]

It's the day of giving. Giving, bro. I got.

[Bishop B]

That wasn't my day.

[Barbie]

What, and you telling me how much to give?

[Mike]

No, that's what they be doing to my mama, man.

[Bishop B]

The mothers and them standing.

[Mike]

We had to talk about my mama about that, man. I like you giving to the church too much. She like Lord, that's why you blessed. I said for sure. But I need to see something with this church.

[Bishop B]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I love friendship to death.

[Bishop B]

I'm out of this one.

[Mike]

I'm already no friendship. That's my. That's my. That's my church.

[Bishop B]

Shout out to Pastor C, though.

[Mike]

That's my guy. High but like, mama, come on.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, I. I don't. I don't really believe in the heavy, heavy gifting.

[Mike]

How much you ever gave? How much ties you offer, Dolores?

[Bishop B]

18. So I hit him with about 12. A little gratuity. 12 of your little kitchen and cocktail gratuity? Oh, yeah. Okay. I'm at that because in the bible it say 10. So I give 12. Like when I used to play the drums for the church, I used to give 12 back of my check. You know what I'm saying? It was a little tough for me. I didn't want to percent right.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

Okay.

[Mike]

We doing percentages. I've never lived right. Because I ain't my checks never getting 10. It's quiet.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, that's. It's in the Bible.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah.

[Mike]

The man wrote that.

[Bishop B]

Yeah. Well, I think I believe it is 10. Y' all know I.

[Host/Moderator]

It is 10.

[Bishop B]

Yeah. So I've been wrote that I try to do a little bit over there.

[Mike]

Look at him getting scared because you know he be going down, right?

[Bishop B]

Yeah, yeah. Going down a different road. But I just. I just think 2K.

[Mike]

But how you. If you gonna get mad at me because I like, yo, this all I got.

[Bishop B]

No, that's what I'm saying. I'm not saying give what you want to the church, but I feel like when you're giving $2,000, bro, and I don't know what that lady, man, she could be rich as hell. But I'm saying you shouldn't tell a. This ain't enough.

[Mike]

That's what I'm saying.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

That's what I'm like, bro. You kind of out of pocket, like they need to sit you down for six Months, bro.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

Like you out of pocket it for real.

[Host/Moderator]

He said. I didn't say he couldn't be up here. I just said the big money supposed to go sections.

[Mike]

How. I just said increments.

[Bishop B]

This is not the club. You got the VIP line, the GA line, and the table.

[Host/Moderator]

Well, actually, let's be real about the church. Them people who got them assigned seats and don't got assigned seats. That's VIP. Them OGs. You better not sit in her seat.

[Barbie]

Yeah, that's why next Sunday.

[Bishop B]

Yeah.

[Mike]

That's the pastor.

[Host/Moderator]

Can I drive it? No.

[Mike]

Shout out to the churches, man.

[Bishop B]

I mean, get your money. I just don't. I don't. I don't rock with the pastors. That. That embarrass your members. I'm nothing.

[Host/Moderator]

Okay?

[Bishop B]

All the pastors. That's embarrassing your members. You, bro. Because I feel like you supposed to have that relationship to where everything is comfortable in the church, bro. So if a give you them people news, should have known that somebody gave a dollar 62. Right. You know what I'm saying?

[Host/Moderator]

Y' all too messy.

[Bishop B]

Y' all church too messy.

[Mike]

That's. That's out of pocket.

[Bishop B]

Yeah. Nobody. I feel like that's some. That's some sacred in the church. Like when people walking up, you know, doing. Offering whatever they put in there.

[Mike]

They gave as little as a dollar.

[Bishop B]

Yeah. And I feel like be in the back when they counting the money up and like surely only gave 20. Oh, we call it Shirley.

[Host/Moderator]

Oh, grow up in a church that used to be a really big church. Got smaller.

[Bishop B]

100% the thing.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah.

[Narrator/Reporter]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like all my family trustees.

[Host/Moderator]

It's a lot of side eyes.

[Bishop B]

I'm not going to lie though. If Pastor Covington did that, I ain't mad at him. Cuz that done buried every drug dealer, every killer, everybody for free at his church.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah, he a good dude.

[Bishop B]

[Mike]

Damn.

[Bishop B]

Could you ever be the Bentley? And the wildest. Could you ever be a first lady to your man? This is your man and he's deciding to take a leap and become a minister. Are you willing to be a part of that journey with him? With your lifestyle that you got right now?

[Barbie]

I would have to change my lifestyle, so. Gotta stick beside him, though.

[Bishop B]

But she said, Lord, she sounded a little nervous.

[Barbie]

Yeah, very nervous.

[Sponsor Voice]

We're starting over with removing everything from our past. We're starting over with our journey. He going bald. You got to cut the dread. I mean, the locks off.

[Host/Moderator]

Going bald for Jesus is crazy. I did not see that in Genesis, Deuteronomy, none of that. Them didn't even have tapers back there.

[Bishop B]

[Host/Moderator]

So do we really believe that LeBron didn't know about that triad?

[Bishop B]

I do, bro. I do, man.

[Mike]

That knew.

[Host/Moderator]

I'm kind of. I'm slowly get to what's where. I think we're a new bro.

[Mike]

Why though?

[Bishop B]

Why y'?

[Barbie]

All?

[Mike]

Why?

[Host/Moderator]

Just the more if we've been hearing from Brian, bro.

[Bishop B]

So y' all think she really do gotta go through Brian?

[Host/Moderator]

I don't know if it has to go through Brian, but I feel like LeBron do a little bit, man.

[Mike]

I ain't hating on Brian. I think Brown the greatest athlete ever, bro. Yeah, that's LeBron. That's a fact. But bro, the moment I said anything, anytime you say anything about Brian, people call you and say, hey, man, you might want. Hey, I want to chill. I know you got some funny stories and shit. Hey, leave LeBron alone. On I'm like, God damn. I came on here and apologized. Sorry. I'm talking some real people like, you know what I mean? Like, hey, you funny. You get a little too funny. All right, My fault, brother. So I know ain't nothing getting by. They hold. They hold camp. They run the lead. That whole camp run the lead, bro.

[Host/Moderator]

They too plug in for not somebody not to know inkling or something. I ain't saying they do an all out play. I just feel like somebody, bro. If not, then that's one of the.

[Mike]

Most rich Paul 80 agent.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah, that's one of the most covert operations in NBA history. You gotta know somebody knew something. I don't know who what, but somebody knew something even if they didn't know it was gonna happen. When, what, where? Why? Somebody knew something, bro.

[Mike]

I'm gonna take that back. I don't think Brian knew they was gonna do that because Brian would have probably had a. Yeah, like we ain't. We ain't doing that.

[Bishop B]

Some type of pushback though.

[Mike]

So I ain't gonna say he knew everything, but like, he knew before that text.

[Bishop B]

He knew before the public. Yeah, he knew before they made the deal.

[Mike]

Yeah, I knew before that text.

[Bishop B]

So I can rock with that.

[Mike]

Yeah, okay.

[Bishop B]

I can rock with that.

[Mike]

Like, they might have called him be like, yo, we just traded A.D. you know what I mean? Like, he. They probably like, damn for what he like, y' all getting. Look, we're getting Luca. He probably like, damn, I can't be mad at y' all and then when it dropped an hour later, that's when I have I'm but ain't no way he found out when we all found out.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah, I'm not rolling with that theory.

[Bishop B]

Shout out to the sun bro, he's a franchise.

[Mike]

[Host/Moderator]

I told y'.

[Mike]

All now he didn't know.

[Host/Moderator]

No he didn't but him put it in the group chat.

[Bishop B]

As far well, it was soon to the Lakers. I told you how I felt about them.

[Mike]

But then again what I'm thinking, Brian probably don't give a He probably don't even care about the Lakers no more. You know what I mean?

[Bishop B]

I mean, do y' all really think this is the end though for LeBron?

[Host/Moderator]

No.

[Mike]

But I think Brian such a like I don't even know the word to say he's such a polarizing person that his farewell tour gotta be like outlandish. It can't be just hey, I'm done hooping. You know how MJ just was like it got it. Everybody knew it was MJ last year with the Wizards. Yeah. Every city he went to, it was like lebron gotta leave.

[Bishop B]

He gotta leave like Kobe.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

He got on a real tour.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

See the city.

[Host/Moderator]

And to be fair, bro, realistically, he deserves that, bro. LeBron, he definitely deserves it. If he to spend his last year the way he wants to, 1000% he deserves it, bro. I just don't. The Lakers just don't make sense to me no more. And it's look like that they've made commitments to Luca going forward not caring about LeBron. And I just don't know where. Where does LeBron go to where he gets to get his off like the way he's supposed to. Because I don't think the Lakers want to do a year of that.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like I don't know if LeBron get to have a farewell tour that he won't. Because the Lakers trying to win like.

[Host/Moderator]

Kobe and them was bad.

[Mike]

Bad. Like everybody knew they was bad. So wherever Kobe went, let Kobe shoot. We don't care. Yeah, like it's one trying to win nothing. So that's why the farewell tour was so fire. Cause wherever Kobe went, he gotta do whatever he wanted. Yeah, people just wanted Kobe to have moments.

[Bishop B]

I know. But I think to me I felt like LeBron got a better. He can have a better leaving party than Kobe, bro. Cause you got luga and hopefully they make a couple more pieces. I mean a couple more moves before the all star or the deadline or whatever. Yeah, like. Cause if they trying to Win. It's. It's better to go out that way and make a leg.

[Mike]

Brian retire losing in the playoffs damn near.

[Bishop B]

If it's competitive. Yeah.

[Host/Moderator]

I don't want LeBron last year in the league, he not making the playoffs.

[Bishop B]

I don't want him to be fucking win 30 games.

[Mike]

I do. I want Bron to have a moment where he retired, where he has a Kobe moment, where Bron go for 70. It's over with.

[Host/Moderator]

Oh, you just want Bron. Last year just killed his wild.

[Mike]

Yeah, just Bron have a moment where he just get to be Bron. Everybody comes to the game, everybody. Like think about everybody that went to Kobe game, bro. The stands was crazy, bro.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

Like Bron gonna be in the playoffs. Like he gonna be really trying to win and trying to play. Nobody gonna know the last game. You know what I mean?

[Bishop B]

I see what you saying.

[Mike]

Like I would love for everybody just to pull up to Brian game. Jay Z, Courtshire, all the stars, everybody in the building. The tickets cost 10,000 for the nosebleed. This is Brian last game.

[Bishop B]

Yeah. Cause we knew the Lakers for sure.

[Mike]

Wasn'T making the playoffs that last game, bro. They played it on espn. He had special shoes for it. It was crazy.

[Host/Moderator]

Had a party for that.

[Bishop B]

But I want to see Brian really go. I don't know. I want to see Brian go at it with another code. I want to see Brian and KD in the series and this is it.

[Mike]

And then he retired.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, bro. Like they played the Jazz, bro. With Kobe played.

[Mike]

But if that's what made it so far, he went for 60. We left with looking at Kobe like, Damn, they gave 64.

[Host/Moderator]

He left this. We'd be mad if Brian lose his last game. But 20 with 21, game six, we'd.

[Mike]

Be a rough game, eight turnovers. We'd be like, damn, bro, go off that.

[Bishop B]

I don't know. I just.

[Host/Moderator]

K.D.

[Mike]

Huggy, man. Good.

[Host/Moderator]

But what if everybody get leave the court.

[Mike]

He stay on the court and they in Houston.

[Host/Moderator]

We like, man, what the. Yeah, yeah, but what else? Somehow, some way LeBron got a chip and dipped out.

[Mike]

That would be hard.

[Host/Moderator]

That would be crazy.

[Mike]

Now he went in the chip and retired.

[Host/Moderator]

That would be hard.

[Bishop B]

That's what I. I want to see the win in LeBron, bro. That's just me.

[Host/Moderator]

Just go to Cleveland, bro. Make it right.

[Mike]

That's what I'm saying. It's just too difficult for Brian retirement, bro. Like he got a. It's too difficult, like cuz he in a situation where he got. They Winning. They got Luca. They playing.

[Bishop B]

I see what you're saying.

[Mike]

I just want him to have the moment. He deserved them moments. Everybody else got them moments. That was legendary there.

[Host/Moderator]

That's a fact.

[Mike]

Mike was ass when he left.

[Bishop B]

True.

[Mike]

I mean, he retired if they want a chip.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, he's talking about that Wizard.

[Host/Moderator]

That was business. But, yeah, it was different.

[Mike]

But when he with the Wizards, they was ass.

[Bishop B]

They was ass.

[Mike]

And, yeah, last game, everybody got to come cheer for Mike, cry all that.

[Bishop B]

That's true.

[Mike]

Kobe got it. And them the only three that really matter in basketball to us.

[Host/Moderator]

Like, yeah, some of the OGs, like magic got that. Well, Magic was a little bit different due to the situation, but he got his respect as well, Larry.

[Mike]

I mean, he had the all Star.

[Host/Moderator]

All Star game, which is a legend moment for sure. Got to come back and play in that Dr. J had a crazy fear World tour, stuff like that.

[Bishop B]

I. I just want to see, like, I ain't trying to end Steph career early. Keep hooting as long as you want, bro. You can you to go. But I want to see Steph compete for a on his way out.

[Mike]

But Steph different. I could see Steph just leaving the game like, my last year. It's going to be my last year. He going to play hard, and then he lead a game like he don't. He going to get a farewell tour because he's Steph Curry. But he will announce, this is gonna be my last year playing, and he just gonna leave the game. However he leave it. Like, we ain't gonna be like, STEPH Go for 80. This is it. I don't know.

[Host/Moderator]

I ain't gonna lie. I'm something on. If it's a rebuild year and the warriors get a gift of Seth Curry and them being bad the whole year. Oh, let's step through everything.

[Mike]

Yeah, you want that. Like, you want that. But if he retired after, like, losing a series, like, they went seven with, I don't know, whoever the Denver Nuggets and they Sauce, we'd be like, damn, that's it for Steph. But it ain't gonna be like, Brian.

[Bishop B]

Oh, no, bro. Steph, the best of the generation.

[Host/Moderator]

N.

[Bishop B]

Brian. I'm saying, Brian, I'm just talking about, like, for this. Like, I don't even know when I maybe Mike and them age, probably.

[Mike]

But I love Steph Curry.

[Bishop B]

Steph is like, steph beat Brian, bro. Steph got four chips.

[Mike]

I'm a fan of Steph, bro. We all are.

[Bishop B]

Steph is. Is top tier, bro. He is it's Brian A thousand. I'm not. I don't want y' all to start being weird with that. It's definitely Brian, but I'm this right after Brian. It is Steph Curry.

[Mike]

It is, but what I'm saying is, it's like they presence is different. Like, Steph Curry is a legend, grow hall of famer, top five, damn near top 10 player, all time to me. But LeBron presence and what he did for the league. Yeah. Like, no, no, it's not.

[Bishop B]

It's not even comparable. Like, Brian from the jump.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bishop B]

The pressure. No, I'm not. That's why I said I want people to be worried about that. I'm saying, though, like, we was talking about people who deserve, like, real farewell tours. Brian and Steph is gonna get that nigga go for a thousand points in this game.

[Mike]

But I'm just. I'm not saying that he don't deserve a farewell tour like he should. He's a. He deserves to announce it's gonna be my last year, and everybody give him love.

[Bishop B]

Love.

[Host/Moderator]

But.

[Mike]

And then we would love to see him have a last game like Kobe and go crazy, do all that. But, like, Bron deserves, like, that moment. Like, if Steph don't get that moment where he get to go crazy for 50 the last game or whatever, and he retired. If Steph went for 20 and he 40 years old, he went for 15, and this was my last game, and, oh, I'm done. We all be like, steph Curry was great. We wouldn't be hurt. But, like, LeBron and Kobe and, like, Mike, like, they different, bro. Like, they built players like. You know what I mean? Like, they built the whole, like, Bron went to Steph Curry game, and Steph Curry was, like, hype. Bron was at his game. Like, we was hyped to see Bron. Like, we wore his shoes in high school, bro.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, I never. Curry.

[Mike]

Yeah. You know what I mean?

[Host/Moderator]

Just different.

[Bishop B]

I didn't. I did. I came stunt.

[Host/Moderator]

I worked for the company once.

[Bishop B]

I love Steph so much, bro.

[Mike]

I do, too, too.

[Bishop B]

I know you doing. You ain't even trying to. On his career.

[Mike]

Hell no.

[Bishop B]

Minimizer at all. I just think it's just. Bro, he the biggest bro, bro.

[Host/Moderator]

But you know what's even crazier?

[Bishop B]

Like, we talk about this with kd.

[Host/Moderator]

Like, where is KD going to, like, retire? We talk about him being a nomad, basically. Even though he's one of the best ever such of basketball. How are we going to feel when KD like, Stops playing basketball.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, but I feel like James Harden and KD on the same level.

[Mike]

Yeah, but I feel like Steph right there, like, Stephen Steph, he above him. I don't know, bro.

[Bishop B]

K. Steph Curry is a bud.

[Host/Moderator]

You think people. More people be upset if Steph retired earlier than kd.

[Bishop B]

Yes, bro.

[Mike]

Yeah, people love the Bay Area.

[Bishop B]

Steph is bigger than life, bro.

[Host/Moderator]

Like, that's a fact.

[Bishop B]

I promise. And like I said, I know y' all not on him or nothing. I'm just saying. I promise. It's like. Like I was doing the sana y thing. And y' all have valid points, for sure. I'm just saying, when you think of Steph, it's like. Like, you got to think, bro. KD went to Steph.

[Mike]

He did.

[Bishop B]

Like, Steph was Steph one, too. Without him, like, Steph won a. One of the hardest championships, bro. With a rebuilding team, bro, Steph is go. It look like you actually. I. I know. I'm just saying, like, I don't think, like. And I think KD is the most talented basketball player to ever play, no matter what. All accolades. But I'm saying so far as, like, what they done to this NBA game. Game.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

Steph Curry, bro, is. It's. He gotta be right after Brian. I don't know who else.

[Host/Moderator]

There's gonna be some kids sad when Steph stopping basketball.

[Mike]

Steph Curry is. Is one of the goats. But I'm just saying, I feel like it's just like a different level. Like Steph Curry. Listen, Steph Curry is at the highest level you can ever be.

[Bishop B]

No.

[Mike]

Yeah, but it's just like. It's a level that a certain people just can't get to.

[Host/Moderator]

Yeah, I got you.

[Mike]

And that's like Brian Jordan and coach Kobe. Even like, Shaq, as great as he is, he just not up there with him. It's just like a different.

[Host/Moderator]

Like, they add another level. The reference for those people.

[Bishop B]

I know what you're saying.

[Host/Moderator]

It's so personal. Like, I mean, because obviously Shaq is one of the ghost. No slight at all. But, like, yeah, when the kids at home, bro, they have on like, that. They feel that. Like, that Kobe, bro. To this day, like, it feels different.

[Mike]

It's different, bro. Ain't never seen Kobe play in hooping. Kobe's. They do not know the Kobe 5. I swear to God, they don't. And they want the Kobe 5. And I love Steph Curry to death.

[Bishop B]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I ain't had one kid on my team ever say, we get the curvy.

[Bishop B]

Steph Curry keep building you way up. But yeah, it's not. It's not. Yeah.

[Mike]

You know what I mean?

[Bishop B]

It's not that.

[Mike]

And I wasn't even the biggest Kobe fan, but I knew how important he was to the game. I knew how much people love Kobe, bro.

[Host/Moderator]

And that's just like even talking about MJ on the NBC stuff like. Like that logo is so iconic, bro. Across the board. I know he was joking, talking about the guys shooting free throws at the crib. But like, that logo is iconic, bro. There. There's not going to be too many shoes that could ever replicate what Jordan did. And the moments, bro, the lore. That moment is just gone. Cuz that social media growing, we see more and more of the people. I think that's especially with Bron. Bron was right before that. So we didn't see all LeBron growing up. We would probably feel differently if we saw LeBron in real time on social media when he was in high school.

[Bishop B]

And I got y', all.

[Mike]

Yeah, they all legend. And Steph Curry, like, I feel like obviously Steph Curry is right under Braun and all them and he probably the biggest star, but I feel like Steph Curry is kind of like in that Shaq, like, cuz Shaq is. He's one of the goats and he's one of the biggest people. We see him every day.

[Host/Moderator]

We.

[Mike]

But I feel like he with Shaq, he with kd, he bigger than him. But like, how can you say you bigger than kd? Like, I don't know, like. You know what I mean?

[Bishop B]

Because I like feel. I feel like just the. He changed kd, changed the game, but Steph changed it in the whole. Like, it's like Steph Curry got an Allen Iris effect without the swag. And I'm not saying you dusty or nothing, Steph Curry. I'm just saying, like on some real. Don't wear uas with. With their jeans, bro. Nah, nah, it ain't no slight. That's just real. I'm. I'm saying he's so big without the. Yeah. Like, you know what I'm saying?

[Host/Moderator]

And he don't even lean into his celebrity.

[Bishop B]

Yeah. Steph Curry was like building a company up. Like.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bishop B]

No, literally, Brian them had help from Nike. And if Steph Curry had a John Morant on my mama, bro, he. It'd be.

[Mike]

That's facts. That's a fact.

[Bishop B]

John Morant is the biggest shoe right now.

[Host/Moderator]

If that was.

[Bishop B]

Steph Curry had that John Morant that we want. What, bro? I'm telling y', all, bro, that impact is totally different.

[Mike]

That's a great point.

[Host/Moderator]

You cooking, bro.

[Mike]

You cooking with some hot sauce.

[Bishop B]

The fact that Steph Curry is so immortal, Turtle, without any off course, bro. Like, it's, that is in, like, nah, the small guards. That's why people be shitty when they see their little kids, bro, shooting from half court.

[Mike]

No, that's a fact. Yeah, bro. Like, fans, we are talking straight goat status now. Yeah, yeah, no, so we're not hating, but I'm just saying. Oh, he'd be up there.

[Host/Moderator]

It'd be through the roof. Even respectfully to the jersey. I'm a Michelin. That's head to the death. But I don't know how many people gonna feel wearing the 30 throwback. Because it's the swaggiest jersey.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, it's.

[Host/Moderator]

But it's Wardell, bro. Like, you should have that.

[Mike]

But I'm just. It's just like, Bron, I love Steph Curry, bro. I think he's probably a top speak. Yeah. I think he wanted a gr. I think he changed the game. But it's just like, it's a level of, like. I know what you, like, all, like, aura. Like, even though Steph was, like, aura, like, he, he lit. But, bro, when, When Steph Curry walked the gym, we gonna be like, God damn, that's Steph. But when Brian gonna be like, that's. That's Brian.

[Host/Moderator]

Come on, bro. We at the Equalize, full of high talent. Celebrities across the world went deer across that line where LeBron was at. Bronx people who got names, money, all that.

[Mike]

They wouldn't dare, bro. I had that real moment br. Bro, and like, me personally as a basketball player, I think Bron's one of the, like, the greatest pride. Him and my Mike. But I think Steph Curry is, like, my favorite basketball player to watch, right? He's small, he my size. I feel like he can. He made it to, like, cool to be short. And you can be successful in the NBA being a smaller guard. He changed the game, but it's just different, bro.

[Bishop B]

Yeah, I, I, I get it, bro. I get it.

[Host/Moderator]

Like I said, it's different. It's a changing of the guards on the NBA right now. So listen, like you said, be here, enjoy your family for Thanksgiving, Christmas time. Enjoy all this now, bro. Cause in a couple years, bro, we may not have all these people we grew up on bro time people.

[Mike]

I mean, it's crazy that you think, like, even though, like, that's what I mean, like, Steph and them Was on their way to retiring too. Like Steph probably with 37, 38. He probably gonna play to a 40, 41. But Brian still here.

[Host/Moderator]

Did you hear Steph today? He was like, bro, it's crazy because I'm looking at my shorty now and like around this time, this is when my dad retired when I was this age. Yeah, he 37.

[Bishop B]

Damn. He is.

[Mike]

You know what I'm saying? But Bron's still here. And n I. I've been done for four years. Years, Stephen, year. 17, 16, whatever he is. And Bron still. And Brian went to college games.

[Bishop B]

Brian started playing in NBA when he was 13.

[Mike]

That now different, bro. It's just different play with his son, cuz. Yeah, brought in the group chat.
