Tig

Bishop Hendricks
Tommy is everything.
DJ Wells
Tomic is everything.
Tig
Thomas is everything. Grinding is everything. I put diamonds and everything.
DJ Wells
Hey, man, before we get to today's episode, man. Cause it was a lot of basketball played last night, man. Shout out to the homie David on Twitter. He sent me this pic yesterday. I threw it in the group chat for y'all. But there is a picture of LeBron James dunking the shit out of Paul Millsap. And it's funny. Cause he was like, jeff Seagull's really around for everything. Interested in the NBA. And you right here in this picture near the bench. What happened in this game?
Tig
Brian? We was winning, and Brian ended up dunking On P. And we was up like 8 with, like a minute ago. And they ended up making a crazy run and taking into overtime and beating us in overtime. But Paul was trying. I told Paul to get the fuck out the way. What are you doing?
Bishop Hendricks
Paul got that momentum.
Tig
They ain't called block. They called charges. Like, ooh, he took the ball out. What is he doing?
DJ Wells
I said, you a bold man to center for LeBron James in the realm for sure. But the face that you paint in that picture made you look like, what the.
Tig
I was like, what are you doing? Like. Cause it's a minute to go. Like, let him dunk it and get out the way so he can shoot. Free throw.
Bishop Hendricks
Damn.
DJ Wells
That's crazy.
Tig
Somehow we still lost that game.
DJ Wells
That's back in the nasty jersey era days, too. He wore some bullshit jerseys back in the day, too. We just fucked with it. Cause everybody liked the Heat at the time. But that all red with the white outline, that's a nasty jersey, bro. That's a disgusting jersey.
Tig
Our Hawks jersey was weak. I hated the American flag swag.
DJ Wells
Yeah, y'all jerseys was weak.
Tig
You could never get fresh in there. It was like, man.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah. The Miami Heat shit was worse than Yalls, though, bro.
Tig
Nah, when they wore the black, though, them shits was decent.
DJ Wells
The all black with the white outline fire.
Tig
Or any of their black jerseys was fire compared to the Hawks. We had the red American flag. Them joints was weak.
Bishop Hendricks
Shout out to the new jersey designers in the NBA now.
Tig
Nike.
DJ Wells
Nike, yeah. Those were Adidas they had right there.
Bishop Hendricks
Damn.
DJ Wells
Hey, what's crazy is some of the.
Bishop Hendricks
Best basketball, we signs up one of them. They're hard, though.
DJ Wells
What? Heat jersey.
Tig
I always liked the Heat jerseys.
DJ Wells
Yeah, the old school Heat jerseys.
Bishop Hendricks
That's that run team. I mean, not run team too, but Tim Hardaway boy.
DJ Wells
Yeah, back in time.
Tig
And yeah, I like them jerseys all the time.
DJ Wells
Sisters are hot as fuck. It, man. It's crazy. Like those old Christmas battles we all talked about. That mid 2000s, well, 2010 era, they was wearing them sleeve jerseys, bro. Like, some of the best basketball was played in them.
Tig
I wanted a sleeve jersey so bad. That's my swag. I hooped in T shirts and shit. Like, that was my swag.
Bishop Hendricks
I like that shit.
Tig
The Hawks never quite made it to prom time.
Bishop Hendricks
Just for hoop reasons. I with that. To wear a hoop jersey, like, with a fit is crazy.
DJ Wells
If you wear that jersey as a tea with some jeans, you was filthy, you know?
Bishop Hendricks
Used to get their regular jersey off with some jeans. But if you had the tea jersey. You're a different type of bull.
Tig
You might as well be wearing Drop it to the club.
DJ Wells
That's definitely a.
Tig
You might as well pull off a te swag. Drop it to the club.
DJ Wells
Cuz I was g to say, I don't know what type of pant you could wear with that, that that could be acceptable.
Tig
But the cut was so low. Like you look super nasty.
Bishop Hendricks
It was though.
DJ Wells
And remember LeBron kept like dam ripping them. I mean, obviously LeBron is a super soldier, but he kept d like ripping them dir and the sleeves and stuff.
Tig
But they wore them chip though. The one the chip when in Cleveland, they wore the black ones.
DJ Wells
And that's the pissed off part because, you know, Kyrie my go. I don't ever want that jersey.
Tig
I I wanted a sleeve jersey so bad. I was like, this is. They made this? Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
You was hooping. I I with that just for the reminisce.
DJ Wells
Yeah, but as as far as to reminisce to put that on the wall. I don't want that sleeve jersey in my house, bro. That's nasty work.
Bishop Hendricks
You never once put the T shirt under your jersey in the league.
Tig
I did a couple something, but they made you wear like super tight ones. Like it had to be for a medical reason. And so I tried to act like my shoulder was hurting. Then the fucked up thing, my shoulder really started hurting.
Bishop Hendricks
So you playing around. That's like a motherfucker walking around with crutches on.
Tig
Yeah, I was bullshitting. I told him like, yeah, if I shoulder her a little bit. They did all these motherfucking things. Tested my shit out. I'm like, cool.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
I wondered if you ever hooted in.
Tig
The tee, put a shirt under my shit. It's when I was wearing double zero too.
Bishop Hendricks
Oh, damn, it's late tee.
Tig
Yeah.
DJ Wells
That was a retweet.
Tig
Yeah. My shit started hurting for real. I was like, what the fuck? And that, that undershirt was hot as fuck.
DJ Wells
Damn. That's crazy, man. Shout out to the sleeve jerseys, man. That came a long way. Drawfish said we ain't going for.
Tig
That's crazy. You could google yourself.
Bishop Hendricks
Hey, that nigga got hella jersey numbers, nigga.
DJ Wells
I got like five jerseys.
Tig
I wore zero. I wore zero most for my career.
DJ Wells
Hey, you know what's crazy? Jamal Crawford went through and named all his coaches in order. I thought that was nuts. He had 20 coaches.
Tig
Yeah, I don't think I can name all my coaches. Yeah, I could. I ain't had that many, though. 20 is crazy.
DJ Wells
Yeah. 20 is a lot of money.
Bishop Hendricks
Jamal moved around, though, for sure, man.
Tig
Who was it? Woody? LD Shit. It gets spooky, Bud Tibbs? Nope. Nate.
DJ Wells
Normally you didn't have all the way up.
Tig
Nate Tibbs. Shit. Who was after Tibbs?
DJ Wells
Atlanta. You had Lloyd.
Tig
Lloyd? Yeah, Lloyd Pierce. Then it was where I went. After that, I went to Boston, Brad. Then I went to Milwaukee. Bud again. Damn, that wasn't that bad.
DJ Wells
That coach was fucked with you, though. That's love.
Tig
Yeah. I had the same coaches every time.
DJ Wells
For sure, man. Speaking of.
Tig
Hey, man, stop pulling up them stats, man. The fuck he doing?
DJ Wells
Hey, dude, the team that's six points in Boston Dave. I was ass. Hey, why? Why y'all like that?
Bishop Hendricks
You shot good from the field, though.
Tig
43 wasn't bad.
Bishop Hendricks
That's not bad.
Tig
I ain't getting enough attempts. I still average six. Niggas is getting money off of six.
Bishop Hendricks
No, me nigga might clear 20.
Tig
Hey, go to see what my.
DJ Wells
Hey, Max. Go see what Max Christy making right here.
Tig
I mean, how many points he average. Max Christie. Not Max Crosby. Max Christie.
Bishop Hendricks
What he at this year?
DJ Wells
Oh, my God.
Bishop Hendricks
That's crazy. N. That's crazy. That's your same stat sheet, dude.
Tig
Hey, we got the same stats, bro. I'm do eight, bro, that's.
Bishop Hendricks
That's 30 million, bro. Four year 32.
Tig
I was, dude.
Bishop Hendricks
Shout out to Mike Conley. Another shout out.
Tig
I was, dude.
DJ Wells
Man, stay in it to win it. God damn it. Hey, man, speaking of LeBron, you called yesterday, man. The Pistons came over. LeBron Triple WSA took care of a 117, 114. I had 28, 11, 11 A.D. 19, 10, 6. My boy, K. Another double dub. 20 and 10. Malik Beasley, 21 and 5. Lee Beasley be hooping every time. He ain't on my parlay.
Bishop Hendricks
He do hoop every time.
DJ Wells
He ain't on my parlay. He hit every three in the world.
Tig
I've been big and K cutting him up all year.
DJ Wells
Have you? Nah.
Tig
Shout out to dj. He been saying he been hooping that year, but I've been a Pistons fan all year. I told y'all, the Pistons was a quality team. They had some. Some decent veterans that they added to that core. Them young guys and I think they starting to build some chemistry over there. And they getting that new coach, jb he's starting to figure it out with him.
DJ Wells
So he went Coach Carter on them. N. But listen, man, K. Cunningham going crazy. Player of the week average. 24, 10, and 7. All star numbers, y'all. We talked about it between him and LaMelo yesterday. It's going to be a tough spot for that. But he keep killing like this, bro, he gonna have to be one.
Tig
Nah, he an All Star. You can't deny it. You've been saying it all year, but them stats are crazy, man. Averaging nine assists for them. They're 10 and 24 points. And leading a team that's kind of making some progress, like they might be a playoff team. I mean, what, they tenth in the East?
DJ Wells
I mean, they're in the East. They're a playing team, too.
Tig
Yeah, it's definitely a play in team. And they not too far. I mean, they get on a little road, a little strict, they could actually be in a playoff hunt. So shout out to JB Biggerstaff, though.
DJ Wells
And listen, man, I know it's early in the season, but did we ever think there was a point that the 76ers will be chasing the Detroit Pistons for the last playing spot? No, it's just nasty work.
Bishop Hendricks
This is dismantled over there in Philadelphia, man. It's just shit. Ain't no.
Tig
They got a win last night, though.
DJ Wells
Yeah, we gonna talk about that win for sure. Nasty game. But listen, I saw this on Twitter and started cracking up yesterday. They said don't nobody get to the locker room faster than LeBron after a loss. Shout out to bronze, headshot and walk directly.
Tig
Ain't nothing to talk about. Nobody hand is shake.
Bishop Hendricks
It is what it is, man.
Tig
I would have loved him to see him hit that shot and see his reaction.
Bishop Hendricks
I shook you niggas hand enough times, man. I'm a bad sport now.
Tig
As he should be.
DJ Wells
Isaiah should have crashed off.
Tig
He would have hit it.
DJ Wells
Get him gone. That's funny. That's the only person we know that really never tried to fight LeBron.
Tig
I tried.
DJ Wells
Well, yeah, you. You did his stick, LeBron.
Bishop Hendricks
There's probably been a couple, though.
Tig
I ain't really try to fight. I remember LeBron was talking bad to somebody. Who was he talking bad to?
DJ Wells
It was recently Bron be talking crazy to people. And I was. Yeah, I forgot.
Tig
Dang. I was laughing. Cause they was arguing. It was a young boy.
Bishop Hendricks
He was talking about people's faces.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he. The way he talked about campaign is still one of my favorites. He was just home. Yeah, that was one of the biggest hating moments in LeBron, but it was still funny as fuck.
Tig
He was just talking back to somebody on the side.
Bishop Hendricks
It wasn't. Hey, it was him keeping it real, though.
DJ Wells
Nah, that's hating, bro. I'm Hooping right now. Don't do that, bro. And I don't even like campaign like that to be vouching for him, bro. But, hey, man, let my nigga have his moment, bro.
Tig
Oh, God dang.
Bishop Hendricks
I'm Brian, bro. Be humble, bro. Talk to the other nigga, bro.
Tig
He was on the sideline. It was somebody. It's somebody we know. And he was talking bad to him, but the dude was just looking at him like he was kind of starstruck. I can't remember.
Bishop Hendricks
Oh, that sucks.
DJ Wells
We gotta find out.
Bishop Hendricks
Never me.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I know. You go, but it'll be fuck you right now. Jj, is there anything he could do right now to help this team, man? Or is it just his bro?
Bishop Hendricks
It's cool, bro. It's your first year, bro. This spot was groomed for you. We okay, bro. They trying to make you the new Pat. It happened when it happened, bro. Jeff said when Bron leave, it'll be a better team.
Tig
No, it'd be better for him.
Bishop Hendricks
Right away. Yeah, right away.
Tig
I mean, I don't know. It'd be good. I don't know if they'll be better. I mean, replacing LeBron is crazy, but for him coaching, it won't be that many expectations. You like, Damn, we lost LeBron. We lost the greatest player to ever play.
DJ Wells
That bought me a year.
Tig
Yeah. Another year that gave me, like. You know what I mean? Gave me a chance to try to coach something. Y'all gotta bring some players in. We in rebuild mode a little bit now. I could talk to these dudes a little different. I just coached LeBron James. He would have never. You know what I mean?
DJ Wells
Yeah, but coaches love doing that.
Bishop Hendricks
You coach him, I do that. Who the fuck do you name?
Tig
I was just scouting. I'd be like, I just scouted. I know.
DJ Wells
I know exactly what they looking for. Why are you asking who right now? They don't do fight like that.
Bishop Hendricks
I love fight.
DJ Wells
I'm just saying.
Bishop Hendricks
He talking about the greatest player in the world. Who the is we talking about? And you catch a nigga, JJ can't say that. LeBron is 50. You can't say you just coached this 50 year old, bro. That is not a good example.
Tig
He's still LeBron James, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
I come sleep, bro.
Tig
He's still LeBron.
Bishop Hendricks
I don't care, bro. Do not say that to me. If I want a Lakers, you, you still coach LeBr play with this his problem. You didn't coach him in his prom. Watch out.
DJ Wells
Yeah, bro. You playing me.
Tig
He actually made Brian fall one time. It's a clip he didn't want to snatch back. Brian touched the earth.

Tig
I was just laughing at Georgia. I'm gonna let y'all see what he wrote me. It's funny as fuck.
DJ Wells
Shout out to the minivan 520 alumni for sure. Georgia is funny.
Tig
I posted it and he tagged me and then he wrote me something funny as hell.
Bishop Hendricks
Tagged him in. Some of him getting shook.
Tig
That's how FB and Georgia relationship. That's Kyle shit. He tagged me in. I get ducked on some shit. He attacked me, but he wrote me some funny ass shit.
DJ Wells
Shout out to the minivan, man. Get well soon. Lakers man. Get well soon. Hey, man, shout out to the Pacers. You know what I'm saying? We doing really, really good right now. I told y'all I was back up. Y'all ain't believe me, but it's cool. Took care of business yesterday against the Warriors. 111, 105. We undefeated. The Chase center renamed that the Pacer center till they beat us. I remember Draymond was on our podcast, you know what I'm saying? In Vegas. Shout out to Draymond. That's the homie talking about every time Steph seen them hard, what he was gonna do. Yeah, padlocks. It got wicked last night. It got real spooky last night. I know Steph, the guy go pg. But we handled business yesterday.
Tig
Is Steph starting to age a little bit?
DJ Wells
I think he's just having a bad week. I ain't even gonna put that smut on him.
Tig
Okay. We just wonder. I mean, we don't ever see him.
DJ Wells
Have two bad games like that.
Tig
Yeah, I never see Steph shoot this poorly in one week, so it's kind of a struggle. But obviously, he's 35, 36 years old. He's still having a hell of a year. But it's like, damn, the greats that we all know are starting to, like, just slow down a little bit. LeBron getting older. Steph getting older. KD. It's like, damn, the NBA really about to have a turn. And I'm not excited to see it, actually.
Bishop Hendricks
It's in good hands to me.
Tig
Is it? Who hands? Do you think it's in? That's a great conversation.
Bishop Hendricks
You still got Joker, you still got Giannis, you got Ant, you got Ja, you got Shay. God. Shit. Who else?
DJ Wells
Jt? Yup.
Bishop Hendricks
Them Boston boys.
Tig
Do you look at them as, like, pillars, though? Like, do y'all look at them as, like, all time great?
Bishop Hendricks
Yes. Shay, John Moran, Anthony Edwards are killers.
Tig
I think they're good players. I'm not saying, oh, they all hall of Famers, for sure. But do you think, like, these people that are retiring are, like, top five players, top 10 players to ever play? Do you think the people that handing over is, like, top 10, top five players ever play?
DJ Wells
Oh, no, I think because the nostalgia around those players and how they came up and how we adore them isn't the same with the people now. I don't think that there's a big drop off in skill. Obviously those are generational talents. But we don't look at Shay the same as we look at some of those people. We don't look at Joker the same way. Some of it can be to the international play, of course. Some of it could be to the way that the NBA is marketing some of the young stars as well. It's a lot of things that play with the situation.
Bishop Hendricks
Luka and Joker are better than a lot of people that played in the 2000s, 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s.
DJ Wells
But they won't get the same love because of how hard it is to watch certain people now.
Bishop Hendricks
I'm not.
Tig
Yeah, I think they are. I think they're obviously. I think they're better than some of the players. That's from the past. But I'm saying, like, I think all three of them, players like kd, Bron and Steph, they changed the game to a point where, like, they had a run where people wanted to beat him. I think Anthony Edwards and Ja Morant, people want to beat him because of off the court. Like, they swag and how they bring it. But, like, people knew you couldn't beat Bron, but people idolized Bron. Like, you know what I mean? Can't nobody be Bron. But if you was tall, you wanted to be kd.
DJ Wells
Facts.
Tig
Isaiah wanted to be kd. You know what I mean? I think all them dudes, Steph Curry, if you was a guard, you won't shoot from half court. You want to be Steph Curry. I don't know if there's anybody else you can pass it to that people like, yeah, I'm gonna try to model my game or be this guy. Cause think about, everybody wanted to be James Harden, step backs and stuff. He on his way out soon. Got a couple more years. Like, I don't know, but look how.
DJ Wells
Quick we wrote James off. Not we, but look how people wrote him off. After Brooklyn, people saw James was gonna be out the league.
Bishop Hendricks
I like the young talent.
Tig
I'm not saying not cold. I'm just wondering, like.
Bishop Hendricks
Cause I think that's how people. I think that's how we. We old heads. And I feel like when we was coming up, our older people that was around us, that was 30 and 40, they still praised Tim Hardaway. Motherfucking. Not Brian, but Kobe and Shaq. And we never thought our era would take over their era or they didn't think so.
Tig
Oh. But you kind of seen the writing, though.
Bishop Hendricks
Like LeBron Iverson and shit. It was kind of hard to tell a nigga somebody was better than Iverson. When we was growing up, telling the.
Tig
Old head that, nah, but like, yeah, you right. But when that LeBron came and was labeled the chosen one, you knew the NBA was going like, this dude's gonna be the guy.
Bishop Hendricks
No, he was gonna be the guy, but we didn't. I mean, I can't say nobody knew that D. Wade was gonna be as spectacular. He was.
Tig
Nah, we didn't know that coming into the league.
Bishop Hendricks
And he was damn near 22 years old.
Tig
But I'm saying we knew they was handing it to Bron.
Bishop Hendricks
Nah, for sure we knew they was handing it to. I don't know who this next torch is. Getting to like that.
DJ Wells
Now, that's my conversation. I was like, we know that the talent is there. And the only reason I bring up the harder to watch is because in that area you was talking about, local teams are on their local TV screens. So even the people our age, we fucked with it. But we're at the age now to where we're buying the tickets. So the kids, they can't buy tickets, so they only see it on TV or these ways. Like you said, who does the league.
Bishop Hendricks
Go through that Anthony Edwards and them might be on a Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose status, but they might not be on a Braun, Steph, KD status.
Tig
Yeah, I can see that.
DJ Wells
Bronze is the heat for the NBA for a lot of different things. And been a great spokesperson.
Bishop Hendricks
That's kind of hard to play. Put him, though, because, like, I don't give a fuck about no other generation before that. I mean, you had Jordan, but it kind of skipped. And then it went to.
Tig
Nah, it was Jordan. And then they pushed Kobe. Think about it. Yeah, Kobe. Cause they had Kobe going. Kobe made the All Star Game, wasn't it? Second year he did, and they had him going against Mike, and it was like Mike was supposed to be passing the torch to the young bull.
DJ Wells
And then he also won then, too.
Tig
Kobe had ended up getting in little trouble, whatever it was. So, you know what I mean? It didn't go how it was planned.
Bishop Hendricks
They don't got no Kobe.
Tig
Nah, nah. Brian was there.
Bishop Hendricks
It's just like, yeah, don't got no Kobe. Y'all leaving the league in Zion Williams and the Tyrese Halliburton hands.
DJ Wells
Shout out to Tyrese they got to it yesterday. I kept the receipts. My nigga passes to kd.
Tig
Like when Bron and KD start having them battles.
DJ Wells
He passes to kd, but still was there up.
Tig
And then Steph came out of nowhere, to be honest. He made a name.
Bishop Hendricks
Davis and Steph. We never thought he had changed the league.
Tig
Not to change the league.
DJ Wells
He came out and changed basketball.
Bishop Hendricks
He was dolo by himself. But I think keeping the league alive. My boy Anna keep it alive at least.
Tig
I mean, the league, it ain't going nowhere. I'm in Victor.
Bishop Hendricks
John Moran and Victor. You know, we don't know what he finna do.
DJ Wells
Yeah, fuck the league up. Cause he's easy.
Bishop Hendricks
Cause Brian went to a shitty situation too. I ain't comparing him to Brian. I'm just saying them Brian Cavaliers team sore Iron Newble, Danielle Marshall, Diane Marshall. You know, I fuck with you, nasty.
DJ Wells
But hey, remember what Ricky Davis said? They brought him here to help me.
Bishop Hendricks
That was a real minivan back in the day. You know what I mean?
DJ Wells
Kanye Marshall.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah. So it's kind of like the same with Wemby. You know, Wemby is looked at as the next megastar.
DJ Wells
But also I think the thing that kind of helped him a lot too is social media wasn't as prevalent. So we knew who they were as word of mouth. And if you saw them at tournaments and then while they was on our tv, they was polished players. We've seen a lot of these kids grow up and now they men in the NBA. The lure ain't always there. Like with Jordan, we knew certain stuff, but nothing was confirmed because there wasn't no social media. We would look at Jordan different if it was social media. We knew he's still a goat, still elite, but we would talk about him differently if we saw some of the things that we heard about.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, I don't know. I just think when these. When all of our people that's our age out, the league is going to be straight.
DJ Wells
I mean, it's still going to be.
Bishop Hendricks
Oh, it might be better to watch for real. Because we still we out of pocket for having expectations for KD, bro. He40niggas is just hooping, bro.
DJ Wells
You know what's crazy? At one point, we thought design was gonna be like the next, like phenom Injuries, though, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
That shit plays a part. That's like Derrick. Definitely like Derrick Rose, bro. Nobody was fucking with Derrick Rose, bro. He was on his way up, you know, thieves want to play this nigga 102 minutes a game.
Tig
I ain't gonna lie, D. Rose, he. But he was the number one pick for a reason, bro. He was. He's still an icon.
Bishop Hendricks
Nah. Yeah, but I'm saying, you know, he had to stop really going crazy because he got injured. I think Zion was on his way too. Nigga, you know that bad body shit, you know?
DJ Wells
Yeah, he really.
Tig
He got Kenny Smith knees. If you look at him for real though, you check him out.
Bishop Hendricks
Who's Zion?
Tig
Yeah, go watch him.
Bishop Hendricks
Oh, damn.
DJ Wells
Hold on. That's a basketball, though.
Bishop Hendricks
That built like a drag queen.
DJ Wells
Hey, she got a pocket. She.
Tig
You know you get old when you start laughing.
DJ Wells
They got a jolly laugh for sure.
Bishop Hendricks
I ain't having to touch it these.
Tig
Days, acting like Lamelo, bro.
DJ Wells
He looks just like bro. I don't care Dave.
Tig
I see Dave posted bro. I heard cop that said, bro, that. That's him, bro.
DJ Wells
He started rolling.
Tig
I said, I don't care what nobody say, bro. It look like Lamelo, bro. That was random, but shout out to.
DJ Wells
The Patriots, belt to ass situation yesterday. We are the Chase center srs. Interesting words from Steve Curry yesterday and Malcolmiga. He killed yesterday too. Smooth. 26, 8 and 4. Basically he was just like, I'm not gonna stop coaching you. Like, yeah, she was killing, but you did some bullshit. You took some terrible shots. Like, I'm gonna still coach you regardless of how you feel about me, and vice versa. That situation's still just kind of weird to me, man. I don't know how that's gonna work out. I hope he get paid, whether it be there or somewhere else, but that back and forth just seemed kind of off to me, man.
Tig
Kaming is the prime definition of like a young a talent. Like, he don't really know how to play, but he just talented. And that's like most of the kids growing up. Now, I hate to sound like the old head to say that, but like, when you watch basketball or you coach it or you be around, people really don't know the fundamentals of the game or really know how to play it. They just super talented, athletic and stuff like that. And that's what the difference between a Jokic, a Luka. All these European players that come to the league, they're skilled, but they understand the game. They got high IQs, they know how to play. And right now we just got a bunch of athletes who are super talented for sure.
DJ Wells
And I think that's another reason why the NBA really trying to, you know what I'm saying, play at their flag in Europe because they like, all right, if we're getting these talents coming over here playing the game this way. If we go ahead and tap in early, we can make sure our product is elite from the beginning, from its inception. That's gonna cause a lot of trouble or force people to play the right way, one or the other.
Tig
We just gotta get back to the fundamentals in America. Like, we super talented, so everybody can shoot. Everybody got so much skill. We just don't know how to play the game the right way. And then when you see all these talented players, they learn how to start playing the game. Like you see Jalen Green, he was like that his rookie year, you know, early his second year.
Bishop Hendricks
That's true.
Tig
This super athlete didn't really understand the game. Now he's starting to understand the game and now you like, damn. Jalen Green is a player, player. You know what I mean? He's starting to understand it and now they team is better. So hopefully Kaminga, I mean, he's good, but he just got to figure it out.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that's for sure. So like you said, you get some of these kids one or donor, like in his situation. The G League unite. Both of them actually, bro, you be giving up on lottery picks like 23, 24, it's just like they could be cold at 25. But like you said, the tolerance for that shit is low because everybody's coming for your job the next year. You better figure it out quick. For sure. Pacers, you know what I'm saying? Five straight, six out of the last seven. I think we can get back to what we was on last year. Barbie, she ain't working today.
Tig
Shout out to the Pacers, man.
Bishop Hendricks
So that's your answer?
DJ Wells
All the smut.
Tig
All the smut people be trying to put on Miles Turner, bro. He actually a really good player, bro.
DJ Wells
No, one of the best bigs in NBA. I gave him a hard time.
Tig
He's a top big and I finally seen that. They not gonna even talk about trading him. Good. I need to just give him an extension. Let him be a Pacer for life. Cause you ain't gonna find another big like him. Listen, that fits perfectly with Tyrese Halliburton.
DJ Wells
That's been my conversation with Miles the last couple years. Everybody and I always applauded him because that him and Sabona situation was bullshit for both of them. I'm happy that they finally let them go be free together. But I always said, all right, y'all can say what y'all want to about Miles. I complain about him too. But if you want to move on from him. Who do you get in return? There's nobody you're going to get who can give you the value, especially for this team. And, like, listen, man, when he's scoring over 20, this team is undefeated. So I know it's a lot to get him going. Sometimes pause, but listen when he's playing. Well, we are really good team, man. Shout out to the Pacers. We back up because the east ain't shit. Speaking of the east, crazy game yesterday. 76s over the spurs yesterday, 111, 106, Embiid. Crashed out first half. You should have put him at a parlay over under if he was gonna play the whole game. Cause that was crazy. I don't know what he was on yesterday, but then we had Andre Drummond get ejected and then got let back in the game because the ref found out that Victor Matta, like, flopped. And she went to the ref and said, hey. I mean, the ref, lady ref went to the coach and was like, hey, I fucked up. We gonna get this shit right. That's crazy.
Tig
Yeah, I'm sick of her.
DJ Wells
How do y'all feel about that? How do y'all feel about refs apologizing?
Tig
I'm sick of it.
Bishop Hendricks
They all need to apologize.
Tig
Why they ain't apologizing me the other.
Bishop Hendricks
Day, starting with these high school refs. Mike, check your phone. I don't know. I don't like refs, bro. I'm gonna keep it real. They a waste of time. They in the way.
DJ Wells
Somebody has to officiate the game.
Bishop Hendricks
We only just need one. Give me a nigga that's been in the gym.
Tig
I ain't gonna lie, sir. That's a tough job, though, to have. Like, all joking aside, every play, every call, somebody else is gonna complain about it. Somebody's not gonna like the call. You know what I mean? So that's a brutal job. But for her to fall for the okie doke with Victor, you out of pocket. But I'm glad she made up for it. She?
Bishop Hendricks
What's my boy name that? We cool with the white riff. Cocky Rob.
DJ Wells
Oh, Rob.
Bishop Hendricks
That's the only ref I like.
DJ Wells
Robert Real. One shot. Town's finest.
Bishop Hendricks
That's my dog, man. They need to get you up in the league, man. It's getting wicked.
DJ Wells
Nah, for sure. Hey, nah, we gotta get Robin NBA starting the campaign next year, man. For sure, man.
Bishop Hendricks
But nah, ribs. Y'all got a hard job. I'm talking y'all got a hard job, especially dealing with these grown men.
DJ Wells
It's Tough.
Bishop Hendricks
In the NBA, it's no days off.
Tig
Yeah, I know. Somebody called her ho or something.
DJ Wells
Yeah. You know, they was very, very.
Bishop Hendricks
That was her right there.
DJ Wells
Yeah. And listen, it's crazy, but respect to her for saying I fucked up?
Tig
Yeah.
DJ Wells
That's crazy, man. So Job and Ignar ain't trying to hear none of that shit?
Tig
No. No.
Bishop Hendricks
Y'all want equality?
DJ Wells
Yes, we do. Everybody deserve opportunity for equal jobs.
Bishop Hendricks
Sir, look, he's trying to be.
DJ Wells
I'm trying to save us. Trying to save us.
Bishop Hendricks
Joel be doing too much, though.
DJ Wells
That wasn't even for him. That was for Andre Drum and shit. But, yeah, Joel should have kept his ass out, man.
Bishop Hendricks
He do be doing too much, though.
DJ Wells
But your boy Max, he went crazy yesterday. 32, 10 to 8.
Bishop Hendricks
That's a life for us, man.
DJ Wells
Trading PG 19, 9. Wemby went crazy yesterday. 26 and 9. Eight blocks as well, man.
Tig
He's unbelievable with that eight block.
Bishop Hendricks
For real, bro.
Tig
That's crazy.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that he's gonna. At one point, he's gonna have a crazy, like, average for blocks. And he's gonna be the best of all.
Bishop Hendricks
He about to do some yoke here soon, and it's gonna be like. Damn, Knew it was coming.
DJ Wells
NBA got one more year, bro. One more year to deal with. They gonna get that organization together, get their roster together, and it's gonna get spooky. Cause when he gets to his point, his prom starting his prom, year after next, bro.
Tig
Anybody give a. Gonna be his prime. Your problem when he, like, 26, 27, like the startup.
DJ Wells
Well, he a big man, so I want to give him a little bit of a window. Because, you know, they'd be aging like milk sometimes.
Bishop Hendricks
So deal.
DJ Wells
But, you know, big man get hurt early on. I just wanted to kill. But I think, like you said, bro, he's gonna rain forever once they get that team together, bro. Wimby's unbelievable, bro. Yeah.
Tig
You can't teach height.
Bishop Hendricks
It just needs some better players, bro. He can't rock with his team, though.
DJ Wells
Nah. That's why I said they gotta get that roster.
Bishop Hendricks
Need some hell of a.
DJ Wells
Hell of a role.
Bishop Hendricks
Shout out to everybody that play for the Spurs. Now, I'm just saying, y'all. Yeah, y'all not a good fit for Wimby. What the league trying to do with it. The league need the spurs to be back on pop level, winning 40, 50 games a year at least.
DJ Wells
Bare minimum, they gotta get him a pg. I know Chris Paul down there, too, but they gotta get him a young PG to grow with him as well. Yeah, but man, Wimby's unbelievable.
Bishop Hendricks
They would've been in the playoffs out east, though. That's why I fuck with Wimby. Cause you out west, bro. It's wicked out there.
Tig
I think they got a chance to make the playoffs.
Bishop Hendricks
They over 500.
Tig
They gonna.
Bishop Hendricks
No, we gonna sham.
Tig
They definitely gonna make a. They definitely gonna make a play in.
DJ Wells
Nah, nah. Okay, turn up.
Tig
They definitely gonna make the play in.
Bishop Hendricks
Mm.
Tig
But I mean, I think Chris Paul doing a good job over there with them young guys.
DJ Wells
Nah, for sure. That's why I said in that group.
Tig
Yeah. But damn.
Bishop Hendricks
That's another one. That's on their way out too.
DJ Wells
Come on, man.
Bishop Hendricks
We got the best era. Damn near.
Tig
Oh, God.
Bishop Hendricks
Basketball for real. For real. Because Pete CP has always talked in high regards in the PG range of all time.
Tig
Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
Dwayne Wade, Kevin Durant, LeBron James. I don't know who our center is though. They don't be top five in Dwight though.
DJ Wells
But it's respected though.
Bishop Hendricks
I'm just saying our era so far is hooping. James Harden. Damn.
Tig
They like we didn't kick in here.
DJ Wells
The White's on all decades. I know what you're saying, but he's saying like a top five.
Bishop Hendricks
Like all these. Like a lot of people feel like ain't too many better than Chris Paul, bro.
Tig
Nah.
Bishop Hendricks
Wayne Wade, kind of James Harden. You damn near K5 best four all time.
Tig
Melody.
Bishop Hendricks
We got the best.
Tig
Russ.
DJ Wells
Ain't a lot of people better than Russell Westbrook either.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, we got the youngest MVP ever in our era.
Tig
D. Rose.
Bishop Hendricks
Damn.
DJ Wells
And somebody brought this up. They said Julius Redo looked like Blake in Detroit. And y'all got Blake Griffin fucked up. When Blake Griffin was in Detroit, it was up if he didn't get hurt, bro. Blake was high MVP voting that year. Blake was killing when he got to Detroit, bro. He dragged him to the playoffs.
Bishop Hendricks
I just love Clippers, though.
Tig
Going crazy with one leg.
DJ Wells
But a lot of people. I mean, he didn't really love Luck. A lot of people weren't as good as Blake Erfurt either, bro. Blake was cold.
Tig
Blake got hurt. He was nasty.
Bishop Hendricks
He was nasty. It's just comparing him to Charles Barkley and Malone and them. I ain't gonna do that to the 90s.
DJ Wells
Respect.
Bishop Hendricks
That's all I was saying.
DJ Wells
I won't go that far.
Bishop Hendricks
I'm saying we really got people that's arguably top three. Five. Like.
Tig
Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
In our era. Like, you know what I'm saying? So. Damn. That is crazy. It might get spooky.

Bishop Hendricks
Hell yeah.
DJ Wells
Not this year.
Tig
Next year. Not this year.
DJ Wells
You blocking shots like that. It's crazy.
Tig
He might around get it this year. Had 10 blocks the other day they had a breakdown.
DJ Wells
It was like his last couple games he had like 29 blocks. I'm like, bro, that's crazy, bro. And he's he the lead score.
Bishop Hendricks
He got that team over 500, bro. That's nuts, bro.
DJ Wells
It's going to get ugly soon, bro. Maxi, man, what you think they can do for that team to help him grow at this point? Cause we ain't worried about nobody else on the team. You know PG gonna be the role player at B play what he want to, what they gotta do to help him flourish. He averaging 25 right now. 25 and 5. That's also numbers, right?
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, he's still gonna do his thing, bro. It's Just. That team is just disarray, bro. We done paid pg, so they gonna give him another chance. They stuck with Joel. Joel. I keep telling y'all, Joel, 45, they.
DJ Wells
Not stuck with Joel. If they decide to open shop for Joel, people definitely would be interested.
Bishop Hendricks
You gotta give em something, though. They ain't just about to just let you just.
DJ Wells
Yeah, it ain't hard to.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, they ain't gonna do that. So that's why I'm saying they stuck. Who really gonna take Joel Embiid? What are you giving up?
DJ Wells
Shit, some teams will make it work, bro.
Tig
Yeah, I don't think they. Yeah, they stuck with.
DJ Wells
You think they stuck with your emb.
Bishop Hendricks
I know. Better than me. Shit, I'm just saying I don't know.
Tig
Who you could trade to get your lmb. Like, you asking for Giannis, you asking for Wemby, you asking for.
DJ Wells
Oh, you better lower them expectations today.
Tig
How you mvp. I'm gonna give you an MVP for some role players.
Bishop Hendricks
What we doing, Jeff?
DJ Wells
I'm rolling with you. I'm just saying. So I'm gonna have to make sense if you want to make that move. For sure. Listen. Spurs right now, 9th in the west, 76ers, 10 to 17, 12 in the east. Man, this is just crazy. Who the 76ers, man?
Bishop Hendricks
Like, who the fuck is Canvas?
DJ Wells
Excuse me?
Bishop Hendricks
My little iPad say Canvas beat Jazz, the Cavs. I said, I don't know. Go to Europe for the day. Y'all know y'all be doing that in the league.
Tig
That shit do say Canvas Cavaliers. Is that who it supposed to be?
Bishop Hendricks
I'm just saying, gang. I don't want. We ain't putting this one on my Lou.
DJ Wells
Yes, we are. He did it. Shout out to Ludo. That's my dog, the Canvas. That's crazy. Shout out to the Cav. We'll get to that game soon.
Tig
The Cavs versus Jazz. That's the Cavs.
DJ Wells
Nasty work. The Nuggets beat the sleeves off the Suns yesterday, 117 to 90. T. The rules in effect.
Tig
You don't score 100, you ass my boy. You ain't gonna win. You don't score over 100.
DJ Wells
Man, they are 500 right now. 11th in the West. Be here. What your son's gonna do.
Bishop Hendricks
Man, it's 28 games, man. They play 95. We good.
DJ Wells
Carry the one.
Tig
It's starting to get spooky over there.
DJ Wells
They ain't gonna play 95 games. Keep losing. Ain't get no extra games in the NC's tournament or the playoffs.
Tig
So it's getting spooky over there, man.
Bishop Hendricks
We good, bro.
DJ Wells
And it's unlikely that the Heat moving Jimmy right now.
Bishop Hendricks
Damn.
DJ Wells
What do you think they can do to turn the season around, bro? They just gotta deal with it.
Bishop Hendricks
I have to. You can't move him. They got a good core team, though. And we out. They out east, bro. They'll be able to compete anyways.
DJ Wells
Yeah, some of the Suns. I ain't worried about the heat.
Bishop Hendricks
I thought you said the heat.
DJ Wells
No heat. They are. They can figure it out. I'm talking about the sun.
Bishop Hendricks
Oh, okay.
Tig
They said they're not trading Jimmy right now. So sons. I don't know, man. They might be in trouble, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
I don't know. I got.
Tig
I mean, I think they still could be a playoff team. Yeah, obviously they just got to get going, but, I mean, we didn't expect.
DJ Wells
The spurs to have a better record than the Timberwolves and the Suns at this point in the season.
Bishop Hendricks
Or any point if it came down to it, bro. On the play in, they beat the hell out of Disperse. Just. I don't know. It's early, y'all.
DJ Wells
To me, it is early, but, man.
Bishop Hendricks
I only talked that talk after all Star break. Then y'all got me. I get my real answers.
DJ Wells
Respect. We'll revisit this. Get well some Sons. For sure. They got some killers on there. They got figured out. Free Coach Bud. Rockets beat the Hornets yesterday, 114, 101. Bar went crazy yesterday, 2111. Fred Van Fleet, 26. Well, miles on crazy yesterday 24. Eight. Mellow.
Bishop Hendricks
That's my dog.
DJ Wells
Another dub 86. Listen, man, it was a simple situation. Built an ass situation. Scored the white ball.
Bishop Hendricks
Good win.
DJ Wells
I mean, I don't know if it's a good win because it's the Hornets, respectfully.
Bishop Hendricks
But that's a good win. I'm just saying for them to keep winning for sure. Houston is a good place to be right now.
DJ Wells
Always is.
Bishop Hendricks
Always hating.
DJ Wells
The Cavaliers, aka Canvas, beat the Jazz yesterday, 124 to 113. DG 23 and 8. Donovan Mitchell, 22 and 7. He fucked up the parlay, man, you had for 25 yesterday.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Damn, that's tough, man.
Bishop Hendricks
That's cool. Y'all got the dub, though. That's what matters.
DJ Wells
Fish out Lori marketing 26 to 7. Jordan Clarkson, 27 6. Free him for sure, man. Also, he lead the league in squabbles right now. That done did the pig stitch of the last four years. Jordan Clarkson. Been wearing the scrub with somebody every single year. Bro. Yeah, free my man's man.
Tig
For sure.
DJ Wells
You think he gonna help a team right now?
Tig
Yeah, he a dynamic scorer off the bench. He could help a whole bunch of teams. He'd probably be on the trade, but.
DJ Wells
For sure, sure, man. Yeah, the Jazz ain't got no motion going on anyway. They tanking for sure. Magic beat the Celtics yesterday one way to 104. Jalen Brown, 35. 9.
Tig
Coach Mosley. I think that's his name, Jay Mose.
DJ Wells
Show him some love, man.
Tig
He know how to just get guys.
DJ Wells
To compete, making it work.
Bishop Hendricks
He damn near one coach of the year already.
Tig
He ain't gonna be out. Kenny Axon. But he right behind him, though, for us.
Bishop Hendricks

Bishop Hendricks
Really a weak lineup.
Tig
Damn.
DJ Wells
You know you nothing on this lineup of games.
Tig
Damn, this lineup is kind of shitty.
DJ Wells
All right, let's go through these games. Spurs at Knicks T. Wolves at Mavs, 76ers at Celtics, Lakers at Warriors. And last but not least, Nuggets at Suns.
Tig
Shitty game.
DJ Wells
Y'all ain't right. Y'all don't like none of them games. Damn. First, did you get a. Well, ignorance. We looked it up. But how would you feel if you had to play on Christmas? Cause I feel like that's not like a big promotion. Like, yeah, you get to play in front of everybody, but who want to work on Christmas?
Bishop Hendricks
I'll be ready.
Tig
I'll be. That'd be dope to me. But shit, these are some shitty games.
DJ Wells
I know. This was made before the season started, and we expected some different outcomes for a lot of these teams. If we could remix these situations, who would y'all put some of these slots with? Some teams I think should get some of these situations. Like, let's start off with the spurs and Knicks. Who would y'all sub in out the situation?
Bishop Hendricks
I don't know, but I want. I would rather see the Celtics vs. The Mavs finals rematch on Christmas. Oh, I see. The Wolves versus the Knicks.
DJ Wells
Mm. We just saw that. It got Spooky.
Bishop Hendricks
I could do the Nuggets and the Suns, but, you know, I mean, it is what it is. I get it. Wimby. Hopefully wemby get 50 just to make it exciting.
DJ Wells
Go crazy in the garden one time.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Have this garden moment. That'd be crazy. I think that Lakers warriors game is gonna be good just because they led by older people. So off a nostalgia trip, we go get somebody. I don't know if the game's gonna be crazy, but they just might not be both as good. So it's a entertaining game.
Bishop Hendricks
Say I got him on my leg, too, though, for Christmas, but he might say no, I just want to kick it with the fam so y'all go out and hoop, you know what I mean? I'm getting ready for the night. We having a house party.
DJ Wells
Nah. Brian go killing Christmas, bro. If he do that, bro, that's crazy. This might be one of his last Christmas games, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
They gonna be mad at Brian if he don't get 40.
Tig
If Bron will get 20 years old.
Bishop Hendricks
Smooth.
DJ Wells
Yeah, bro. As long as he get out there getting like 15 or something like that, I'm cool, bro. It's LeBron. I'm not asking him to go crazy, bro.
Bishop Hendricks
See, DJ15 is solid for Bron.
DJ Wells
No, bro, LeBron can't get 15. No, it's a broad, James, bro, I can't get 15. 5 and 5 on Christmas. No, you came in league with 25 and 5, so don't give me 15. 5 and 5.
Tig
I ain't worried about mine.
Bishop Hendricks
This nigga's crazy.
DJ Wells
I ain't worried about go crazy, bro. That 76ers and Celtics game, we thought that was going to be amazing game. When it was announced, I don't know if they knew that the NFL was on their ass this year, but they're going against Beyonce during that primetime slot, and it's going to get real spooky.
Bishop Hendricks
What Beyonce doing the halftime show for.
Tig
The Ravens game on Netflix.
Bishop Hendricks
Christmas.
DJ Wells
Oh, it's over With NBA about to lose to me, myself and I, bro, they gonna be pissed about it.
Bishop Hendricks
Damn, boy.
DJ Wells
Beyonce a legend up the skull for sure. Any other teams y'all think it should have been the situation or y'all wouldn't. Y'all would have swap out into. I would like to see a younger team get a little bit more shine. I know they don't flex these type of games. They prepare ahead of time, but I would love to see OKC playing with Christmas as good as they are right now.
Tig
Yeah, OKC wouldn't have been bad.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, that's probably okc.
DJ Wells
Even the Grizzlies, the team by Josh. Like, I would like to see that. Like, those are some of the teams I think they should have put in them slots. But I mean, again, in hindsight, it's crazy because we thought that all these matchups beginning of the year would be elite. We thought the 76 Celtics game would be crazy. T was Mavs play the Celtics or.
Bishop Hendricks
The Bucks play the Knicks. I don't want to see the spurs, bro. I ain't gonna cap.
Tig
I don't either.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I would. A Bucks Knicks and them would have been fire.
Bishop Hendricks
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
DJ Wells
Hell of a way.
Bishop Hendricks
Let me see Dame. I know Dame going, you know, show up for the holiday. I don't know what.
Tig
Yeah, I'm. Yeah, I'm cool off the Spurs.
DJ Wells
All right, so which game. Which game y'all going to talk to your family on?
Bishop Hendricks
Probably all of them.
Tig
I'll probably still be sleep on a Knicks.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Yeah.
Bishop Hendricks
But I'm probably up cleaning my house.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I'm gonna bust some moves around that 76ers Celtics game. That's when I'm go see family who ain't around me.
Bishop Hendricks
I don't think y'all understand how many trips I had to take with empty boxes, bro. To the dumpster, bro. It be during these hours of these games, bro. So my Thursday recap might be a little. Might be a little wicked.
DJ Wells
