Now, the third grade highlights was crazy, bro. We didn't play it. Elementary highlights is absolutely insane, bro.
Host
I was way better than him when I was in third grade.
Mook
I mean, I don't know, Brian. See you, bro.
Host
He was.
Bishop
He was like that one.
Mook
Yeah, that's what.
Host
I was taller.
Mook
Ain't gonna.
DJ Wells
I was tall.
Bishop
That naturally. All that dribbling. See, when I was in third, I wasn't like that. Ah, but he was a brilliant. I was athletic, I could play, but.
DJ Wells
I wasn't like that little PJ Naptown.

Mook
PJ played at Caso. I'm tell you, after our favorite players.
Bishop
I'm like, we seen this before.
DJ Wells
I'm happy you mentioned Yogi. Yogi gets looked past when we talk about Cole Hoopers from the city in the state. Yogi was like that. And he got some state championships for sure.
Host
Nice, bro.
Bishop
And he stayed a dog. Well, he probably had like a year down, but he stayed a dog from third grade on up, bro.
Mook
Yeah, his life kind of played out okay.
Host
Yeah, made to the league.
Mook
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He was a real. I remember thinking he was on the front page of the Indianapolis Storm.
Bishop
Yeah, I do.
Mook
In the Indiana.
Host
In the Indiana, you were sitting.
Bishop
I was playing him like, what the. But he was cold. I ain't a lot. Mookie would have been the COVID Nah, this one, he was a kid, bro. They want to play Yogi then, bro.
Mook
For real?
DJ Wells
Nah.
Bishop
When he was little, him he the only one that used to kill pj, bro.
DJ Wells
Hey, a for real shout out to Yogi, man. All right, what else we got?
Host
My boy Junior, too. He was nasty. We was going through Rip. That boy, he was.
DJ Wells
J.R. had some of the coldest facts.

Yeah. Boys were scared to guard Junior. I swear to God.
DJ Wells
Okay, we got some yo throwback 2018 Kyrie versus sixers. Let's see it. Oh, yeah. Boston Kyrie. Oh, JJ Reddick. Send help.

Mook
Big ass white dude.
DJ Wells
Hey, the frog in here.
Host
And bang.
Mook
Okay, Jason Tatum looking like it's cool. I'm gonna get back on D. Open like him.
DJ Wells
Oh, he's talking about that six.
Mook
Team was nice, too.
DJ Wells
Yeah, Jamie, I feel you. Still not enough, bro.
Mook
I lost the out of that today.
Host
Like, where is the help defense, bro. Like, for real, though. That's how when I played on the picture, that's how people was guarding. He literally going all the way across the court.
DJ Wells
Like.
Host
Look where he started and where he shot the ball. Like nobody.
DJ Wells
Yeah, yeah. No assist here. Turn me up. Oh, wow. Shout out to my dog, man. 40 points, 10 rebounds. You know the vibes, man.
Mook
Child to Reezy for sure.
DJ Wells
We in the super chat with it. Okay, listen, this clip resurfaced recently Clay Thompson on PD's podcast, and it's talking about each other's career. Let's play the clip for the people. Get some context to the conversation. People forget how cold PG was. And basically the conversation was about like, yeah, bro, you got the rings and stuff and Then Clay was like, nah. But I never had to carry a franchise in this situation. Not to compare career so much. But the situation is different. What do y' all feel about that situation or conversation?
Mook
I don't know. I don't even think people really forget about pg Bro. I'm gonna keep it real.
DJ Wells
Just.
Host
Bro.
Mook
The just said he had six surgeries, bro. You just never available. For real. All right. Everybody respect his game. Like, he was cold because you only really had to lead the Pacers everywhere else. You.
Bishop
But it was for a nice amount of time.
Host
Yeah.
Mook
I mean, it was, bro.
Bishop
But you thought he was.
Host
It really was only like four years, though. Three.
Mook
Damn near saying like, I'm a second option. You kind of vocally expressed that.
Host
You did.
Bishop
You literally said.
DJ Wells
But he. He had about no four years against prom. Brom, bro. In Miami. That is tough.
Bishop
Put my team on your back four to five years.
Host
I ain't gonna even say he put him. They was like a collective.
DJ Wells
But he was the guy.
Host
I mean, he was the guy.
Mook
He was the player, bro. But David West.
Host
David west was like, the guy.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Host
PG was just the best player.
DJ Wells
Then you had Danny Granger.
Mook
DJ Got hurt, was the anchor.
DJ Wells
They had a solid team for sure.
Host
Yeah.
Bishop
But I'm the best player, so it's gone. They don't say I'm caring.
Host
Yeah. Cause it's like. I mean, he had. Obviously he had some great moments on the Pacers and some good playoff runs, but, like, Landsat gray runs. Yeah.
Mook
And I'm thinking when he said I'm the second option, I feel like he always felt that way.
Bishop
Even on the paces.
Mook
Yeah, bro. Because it's like, I don't think Anthony Edwards ever say that.
Bishop
Nah, that ain't he. Not like that.
Mook
I don't think.
Host
You know, let's see how, like, go to his, like, pace and run real quick.
Bishop
I think he was like, I can't get it done as the first option. So you. I need somebody on the team. Better if we go in.
Mook
I'm a Scotty Pippen.
DJ Wells
Send help, bro. I'm not trying to do this by myself.
Host
Yeah.
Bishop
I guess he is better as a second option.
Host
No disrespect, but.
Mook
Yahoo. But I'm just telling you what this.
Host
I ain't no disrespect. Paul George is cold. He's one of the best basketball players. He was one of my teammates, and he was one of the best players I ever seen. But I don't think, like, leading the franchise 23 a game.
DJ Wells
N. Even at that Time period, like you said, the score wasn't as super high. It was a collective as a team.
Mook
Yeah, but in the playoffs, he turned this up.
Host
Yeah, he for sure did.
DJ Wells
He hoop 1000. He went toe to toe with Braun, bro.
Mook
Yeah, I just. I just don't think he ever.
Host
40 average in the playoffs.
Mook
28, 27. Is that what they say?
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Host
Yeah.
DJ Wells
I'm something, bro.
Host
Yeah, yeah.
Mook
He like, all right, y' all watch out. I got it. Like, them type of moments, and it's respected, but I just. I mean, see this. Playoff numbers way better than this, you know, I mean, in season numbers.
Bishop
I mean, it's like it should be, though.
Mook
I ain't mad at that.
Host
I feel good. I just had a good team.
Bishop
Yeah. So who. Who would y' all tell them? What career?
Host
Oh, Clay Thompson.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Clay. Yeah. I want to be the guy you want to be the man.
Bishop
I don't care if it's four years, bro. I won't be the guy.
Mook
Clay Thompson got a lot of money.
DJ Wells
He does.
Mook
Oh, he does. I'm just saying, when you think about.
Bishop
It, he cleaned up, bro.
DJ Wells
Ah, let's go to Clay. Career.
Bishop
George cleaned up.
Mook
Probably made a gazillion dollars in it.
DJ Wells
He top 10 in earnings respect.
Mook
I'm just saying, like, for Clay Thompson's career. And I get a lot of paper, too. Like this me. Oh, got his ring.
DJ Wells
Yeah, you say that.
Mook
That's usually my take on this.
Host
Yeah. Like, almost 400.
Bishop
From a selfish.
DJ Wells
Oh, yeah.
Bishop
If I'm being realistic, Clay Thompson G.
DJ Wells
At 400, and he got some more on the way, so.
Mook
Christ.
DJ Wells
Over 120M's difference and the 4 ring difference.
Mook
Yeah.
Host
Give me. Give me.
Mook
Give me 280. Give me the rings and give me my off the court life.
DJ Wells
All things considered, Clay got a great.
Mook
Run off the court. I'm cool.
Host
There's never no smut on Clay, man. Legend shout out to Clay. All right. It's a lie smart on PG name. Like, as far as basketball, I don't care about nobody off the court.
DJ Wells
Like, a lot of people be like.
Host
Like you said. He said he'd be a second second.
Mook
Option, and that pissed a lot of people off, bro.
Host
Play off P in the side of the back.
Bishop
I'm gonna be mad at him because he think he a second option, bro. That's how he feel.
DJ Wells
He said, bro, I wasn't one option, bro. I kept losing. I like some, and I feel him.
Host
I mean, his career is great to me. I think, yeah, he. He potentially could be a Hall Of Famer. We know Clay is a Hall of Famer 1000%. Yeah. Yeah.
DJ Wells
I was mad at Clay. One top 75. For real?
Host
For real.
DJ Wells
Damn.
Bishop
PG. He not hall of Fame.
Host
I mean, I don't know.
Mook
I think so.
Host
I mean, I don't know what they consider, like, you got to do to make the hall of Fame. No more.
Mook
Had his best years. Okay. See, he did.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Okay, so he was top three MVP by one year. Okay, so if I'm correct, something he killed.
Host
He was.
DJ Wells
They was going nuts, bro.
Host
I like him. That was my favorite. Paul George and OKC.
DJ Wells
Me too.
Bishop
He was on that 28 and 4.
Host
Okay.
Mook
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Yeah. That's tough, bro. And he was a defensive team, too. Yeah, bro. I'm hooking, bro.
Host
Yeah. I thought that was his best year.
Mook
I got it. I got it.
Host
But the Facer did play a terrible burn of basketball, though, so I guess I can't faulty. They play like old school. They had two post players.
DJ Wells
Yeah. That 20 was really dirty on that team.
Mook
They. They definitely did have two post players. They were clogged up.
Host
Yeah.
Bishop
At all.
Host
They was boring as hell. So I guess we really didn't get a chance to see the best Paul George before the injury because the team wasn't geared around him. It's kind of geared towards most players. Yeah, it was.
DJ Wells
To be fair, I don't think the team ever really was geared around him. You said when we had some success, and then unfortunately he has that injury and then he started getting into the business of basketball. So I really wasn't worried about putting the team around him. When brought y' all in, that was the team for him. But he wasn't about to stay, so it wasn't going to jail. No way.
Bishop
So the team not geared around me then. I averaged 24. I'm killing facts.
DJ Wells
I'm rolling.
Host
No, he killing. He definitely was.
DJ Wells
We average 100 points. Yeah.
Mook
My boy did his thing. He definitely smoke for him. I'm just saying, when you kind of automatically just come out and say, like, you a second option.
Host
It's kind of like, do you think Paul George would have had the same success with Steph Curry in Golden State this Clay did?
Bishop
No, he can't shoot like Clay, bro. That made a big ass difference, bro.
Host
That made it.
Bishop
They were shooting at a high level, bro.
Host
Boy, that was like going. I got. Well, it's a clip somebody sent me the other day. I seen it on Instagram. He sent it to me, my homeboy from Atlanta, and it was a clip I had scored a layup on Javale McGee and he was like. Dude was like, teague is crafty. They cut the lead down to 33. Like that team is crafty. They just cut the league down to 33, bro. I was crying. He said he was going to be ass boy. I said, you have a chance with them two dudes shooting, bro.
Bishop
They was shooting the ball.
Mook
I like Steph and Clay a thousand percent, but I think Paul George would have made some noise out there too.
Bishop
Nah, he would make noise, but it would have been like them, bro.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Bishop
Because they both shooting so elite, bro. Is you gonna be down 30, bro?
Mook
Paul George got a burner.
Host
Yeah.
Bishop
Clay don't have.
Mook
Of course he don't have a Jabari like Clay. I'm just saying 60 piece didn't move. I think he can win a championship with Clay. With Steph and Dr. That's the game we played.
Host
They was like, that's a game. Clay has 60. When I hit that last.
Bishop
Yeah, 40 and a quarter, though.
Host
I don't think before Clay got hurt too. And he was just as good as defender as Paul George, too.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Mook
Oh, that's a fact.
DJ Wells
He made himself into a defender too.
Bishop
That he did the okay.
Mook
They was screaming that too. Come on, bro. They were screaming that.
DJ Wells
Clay got some historic performances, too.
Host
What's his average?
Mook
No, stay up.
DJ Wells
I'm thinking sore performance.
Host
What's his best year? Averaging best points?
Mook
24 or something. 23.2.
Host
Yeah.
Bishop
It was crazy.
Host
They used to beat people so bad, they didn't get the chance to play some a lot, though.
Mook
That is true.
DJ Wells
Yeah, bro. And look what he shooting like. His efficiency, bro.
Mook
That one year they won was 70. What they win, bro?
Host
Them didn't play the fourth quarter.
Mook
Yeah, they didn't play. Draymond came and told us about that too, Right? Majority of the games he didn't even play the football.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that's crazy, bro. All right, for 22 and 31 minutes, bro, I'm shooting what, Daniel? 50 from the field, four. 44 from the three. Yeah. I'm not missing, bro.
Bishop
I don't miss.
Host
I don't get to play, bro. Yeah.
Mook
52 from the three in 2018.
DJ Wells
Yeah, bro.
Bishop
Oh, that's crazy.
Host
From the three.
Mook
Is that three or two? Jesus Christ. That was the original films set from the three.
DJ Wells
Bar you didn't call it.
Host
He shot 44 one year.
DJ Wells
That is crazy.
Mook
That's the same year I'm looking at too. Damn.
Bishop
And he shot a lot of threes, bro.
Host
You know he did.
DJ Wells
That's all he was shooting. Not as far lays or threes.
Bishop
44% is crazy.
DJ Wells
Nah, man.
Mook
Hey, and I don't got a dribble.
Bishop
No dribbles. I mean, no.
DJ Wells
Yeah, bomb cold, bro.
Host
Dribble to buy 11 times, bro.
Bishop
Yeah, 40 and a quarter.
Host
I can't believe I was in that game. I wasn't gardening, but when it was back when it was happening, you just.
DJ Wells
Kind of like catch none of them buckets.
Host
Nah, nah. You gonna see me on that one of them, Luis. I won't be on one of them highlights because I wouldn't put off stuff. My match was Steph Curry.
Mook
You couldn't help.
Host
No help. No help. Responsibilities, bro.
DJ Wells
Hey, that's crazy when somebody got 60 and you still can't help.
Mook
Watch these calorie highlights.
DJ Wells
And what this.
Host
No disrespect. That was more than smart. No disrespect, but next clip there was more smart. I'm helping off. I'm helping off him.
Bishop
You leave Steph Curry, you to be getting.
Host
Yeah, I'm helping off. Terry, Roger, Marcus, Smart and whoever else, Jason Tatum, whoever was on that team.
Bishop
That giving me 60 is crazy.
DJ Wells
Cir said it's different.
Bishop
I gotta get out.
Host
Sure, bro.
Bishop
I have to foul something. I have to get out of this.
DJ Wells
You crashing out.
Host

Bishop
I have to foul, bro.
Host
Just third quarter he had was crazy. We was.
Bishop

DJ Wells
Third quarter was crazy.
Host

Man, that disrespectful get out of town says, do y' all think it would be better for a player's development and career if the topics always move to the worst teams instead of the way it is now? That's interesting how y' all feel about that. Yeah. I think organizations still gotta be wearing a certain way for people to develop.
Host
Yeah. Go to the worst team and just being a bad organization, man. Like, no disrespect to some of the teams at the bottom, but, like, we didn't want to see Cooper flag in Washington or Cooper flag in Charlotte.
DJ Wells
No.
Host
And we're not saying they ran bad. We just didn't want to see that.
Mook
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
Host
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Like, he was nothing of Cooper flag being in Utah because they wouldn't try to watch Utah Jazz games like me.
Host
Like, we just don't want to see that.
Bishop
We need certain people in certain markets so we can see them.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Bishop
And it's good to draft people with like some events in front of them to help them out, bro.
Mook
That's why I think the guys that went to New Orleans, that'd be cool out there. They got some people that can learn from.
Host
But they fit New Orleans. Yeah. Like them two young dudes fit that environment. Like, we wouldn't want to see Cooper fag in New Orleans. Yeah.

But Dylan Gabriel got to start him with 13 for 18. 144, you know what I'm saying? Had a couple turnovers, but. But a lot of people are upset at him because, you know, in the press, they be asking about Shador. He's like, hey, I ain't really here to talk about that. Like, this, the competition. I'm trying to win my job for that.
Host
No, no.
DJ Wells
I don't understand why people don't understand that concept.

He's not wrong.
Bishop
This is competition, bro. Flat out. This is a job, bro. I'm trying to get a job, bro. Like, flat out. Why would I be here to big him up, bro? I'm here to. I want to play, too.
Mook
Yeah, bro, I get it. Don't ask me to go questions about nobody else.
Bishop
Ask him questions about me then.
Host
Like. And I think he. I don't think he played bad, either. I mean, he had two picks or whatever it was.
Mook
No, he had a pick to a touchdown, though.
DJ Wells
Yeah, it's preseason. I mean, he didn't get the touchdowns. That should work. But, like, again, it's preseason football. He didn't do too bad.
Mook
I mean, give me Shador, though. Don't ask me about Shador, but give me Shador.
Bishop
Give me Shador, but don't ask me about him.
Host
Yeah, flat out. Yeah.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Even with the fumble, that was just, like, he gave up on the play. All right, bro, I'm a quarterback, bro. I'm. I'm not supposed to be going to hit nobody preseason. I get hurt now. I ain't got a job. Y don't care this much.

DJ Wells
Y' all already asked me too much about him. I'm trying to get his job, bro. I don't care about how good he doing. Shout out to him. Hope he does worse while I'm playing.
Bishop
I hope he does terrible.
DJ Wells
Yeah, bro. This is. It's people live.
Host
That's why I don't. That's why I don't take professional sports really serious. Like, that's why I always kind of make fun of my career. Like, I. You know, and we do. We joke about all the time. Yeah, because you really competing against your team.
Bishop
You're competing against your team, bro. You taught to compete with your team against other people. When you get to the pros, you are competing against your teammate, bro. Cause y' all fighting for a job, bro.
Host
Yeah, bro.
Bishop
Secretly, when you on a bench, if y' all fight for a spot, you don't want him to do good, bro.
Host
Not at all.
Bishop
That's crazy. But that's how people be feeling. Like, bro tripped or something. I don't want to get hurt, but I need to play bad so I can get it.
Host
And you try to turn over, you know, you try to think of it like, people be like, man, if you wish well for somebody else, good things will happen to you. And then you just keep sitting there and you like this doing too well. I don't.
Bishop
This is killing.

Bishop
Super max and, like, or they really almost doing.
Host
I'm an established player, and I know what you gonna do ain't gonna affect nothing I got going on. Them the only people that help you. But if it's an older dude, that might be like two or three years before ahead of you that ain't got paid yet, or they on the fence, they ain't about to help you, they might tell you everything wrong.
Bishop
They will. Damn. Yeah, they will.
Mook
That's messed up, though.

I can imagine for you, especially in your situation. Like when Dominique Wilkins tired his tea time the fourth and same people were sniping for you. Like, all right, man. Like a couple side.
Host
I'll start rolling out. That was me and Dennis Schroeder. He ain't. He probably hope I never did. Well, I didn't blame him.

Like, imagine when you a rookie. Like my rookie year. You know, the bench player is the last game of the year. You get the plus. Yeah. So shout out to my dog, Mo Evans. Mo Evans, he had been the lead for a while, but you know, he's still fighting, like, make the team every year. So he like, before the game started, he like, young fellas, let's go out there and play.

She is one of the ones.
DJ Wells
Listen man, a lot of people call flat. Well, not people call flat. They was talking down to her because she didn't have the best playoff performance which had an early playoff actually for us. But I say last year priority was getting her back on this squiddy. She shown her worth, man. Shout out to Kelsey Mitchell for sure all right, man. The Aces took care of the wings. 106, 87. Asia Wilson may be going crazy. 7 game win streak all because of her. Because she been hooping out, man.

Host
But this what we expected from her, I think. I don't know. But getting a shoe and all that stuff and like that kind of took over a little bit. Her play was kind of down, but I think he didn't got used to it and she didn't get back in her normal stride. And now she looking like the dominant player that we all know most definitely.
DJ Wells
And that Aces team know. So they had a lot of changes this offseason. Lot more responsibility. Way to pull her. She delivered all year. She been killing the rest of the squad. Not so much. But listen, she been putting a team on her back at that's not a person I'm going to go against in the playoffs at all.
Host
Yeah, but this like she, she wasn't doing this. Yeah, like she was killing. She still was getting 18 and 10 and whatever, but the 30s and 20s, that's the stuff we used to see from her. She was like joker.

Host
This is an I heart podcast.
Episode Theme:
A lively and candid conversation led by DJ Wells with Mook, Bishop, and Jeff Teague, exploring NBA player legacies (Klay Thompson vs. Paul George), the dynamics of player competition, football’s ongoing debates (Shedeur Sanders vs. Dillon Gabriel), unforgettable sports moments, and locker room realities—all filtered through humor, nostalgia, and unfiltered storytelling.
Timestamp: 12:34–23:50
Jeff Teague (13:15):
“Paul George is cold ... one of the best players I ever seen. But I don't think, like, leading the franchise—23 a game. Nah. Even at that time period, like you said, the score wasn’t as super high. It was a collective as a team.”
Debate Highlights:
Memorable Quote:
“You don’t want to leave Steph Curry. You leave Steph, you’ll be giving [Klay] 60.” — Host (23:24)
Consensus:
If forced to choose, most would take Klay’s legacy (rings, elite role, off-court life, respect) but recognize PG as a Hall of Fame-level player.
Timestamp: 41:10–46:57
Bishop (42:56):
“Secretly, when you on a bench, if y’all fight for a spot, you don’t want him to do good, bro. Not at all. That’s crazy, but that’s how people feel.”
Host:
“Bibby held me down, ‘cause Bibby already made ... hundreds of millions. That’s why it was cool having [vets].”
Locker Room Moment:
Timestamp: 40:42–43:09
Timestamp: 37:38–40:41
Timestamp: Super Chat sections scattered throughout, e.g. 27:38–28:52, 58:11–61:30
Timestamp: 55:13–57:49
This "520 in the Morning" episode of Club Shay Shay is an unapologetic, hilarious, and insightful journey into the real world of professional athletes—from the statistical legacies and glory of players like Klay Thompson and Paul George to the raw, sometimes ruthless battle for relevance and a paycheck in every locker room. DJ Wells, Mook, Bishop, and Jeff Teague peel back the curtain on what really matters in sports: not just talent, but timing, opportunity, and attitude, all while keeping it light with personal stories, witty banter, and genuine respect for the game and its players.
If you want an episode that mixes stats, super real talk, and sports culture with authentic player perspective—this one’s got you covered.
