The volume good morning. Happy Thursday. It's 5:20 in the morning, your favorite sports show here to keep you up to date everything in the sports world, especially basketball. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells, joined this morning by my two brothers. To my left, Bishop Hendrix. To my right, my brother T. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing?
Bishop Hendrix
What's happening?
T
I don't want nobody.
DJ Wells
Okay. That's what's on the playlist this morning.
T
Yeah, I was playing that Neo. I said, he got a couple girls. I was like, I feel the vibes.
Bishop Hendrix
Yep.
DJ Wells
Salute. Respect. I gotta ask y'all this. It's funny, because I typically. You come in here playing, you know, I'm saying RP music, which I go to like Bob in the morning. Does it matter? Y'all got, like, a little set playlist y'all chilling with?
Bishop Hendrix
No, man. I usually play John Room for Square's album, but I could do R and B. I do whatever, though. It don't matter, man.
T
I'm like super R and B. Old school, the 90s, like, 70s to the 90s.
DJ Wells
On my way here this morning, I seen a group and I seen a car. Yns playing Dirt. And I was just like, I want to get away from them so fast this morning. I don't know what's on their spirit at 7:45 this morning that they probably got some hot Cheetos in their car playing Dirt.
T
That's crazy.
DJ Wells
And no telling what type of time they on, for sure.
Bishop Hendrix
I played Webby like that yesterday on the way up here, though.
DJ Wells
And then that's gospel, though.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah. And then 12 play.
T
He need to go to hell.
DJ Wells
You can't play 12 player to work at work.
Bishop Hendrix
I mean, if he did it, kill him. But the music lives forever.
DJ Wells
For sure, man.
T
Listen, definitely did it. But guilty as proof is in the pudding.
Bishop Hendrix
But my bad. Johnny Cocker out of pocket.
DJ Wells
We didn't have no ball yesterday. We got plenty of basketball tonight, though. A couple previews we're gonna go through, keep y'all settled for the week and weekend. Knicks and T. Woods tonight, man. Cat makes his return to return to Minnesota tonight. What's up with it?
Bishop Hendrix
He gonna kill tonight.
T
That's gonna be a. That's gonna be a good feeling for him, man. Come back to where it all started for him in the league. Probably gonna have a big game.
Bishop Hendrix
Sure.
T
He probably wanna go for 50. Mess around in Mike.
DJ Wells
Listen, man, we're gonna. He might really crash out tonight. Like, I would love to see him get Rudy 50. That would be hilarious.
T
Yeah. Facts.
DJ Wells
All right, man. Knicks 16 and 10. They're looking at third and east right now. Where do y'all think they go finish up in the East?
Bishop Hendrix
It's early. Predict too early. But top five easily, though.
T
Yeah, I got them.
Bishop Hendrix
It's sweet out east.
T
I got them four or five. I think Milwaukee gonna make a run to get to the three seed, but I got them four or five. I'd like to see a Milwaukee Magic first round matchup.
DJ Wells
Okay.
T
I think that's what it's going to be. It'll be a cool matchup. Well, whenever after the play in stuff.
DJ Wells
Or whatever my thought process is, I wonder what's going to happen with the next 25 games with the Cavs. Like, do they regress? I mean, even if they at this pace, at some point, do they get caught by the Knicks and Celtics?
T
I think the Celtics got a chance. I don't think the Knicks, but Cavaliers will be one or two.
Bishop Hendrix
They playing too well.
T
They just got a good report right now for sure.
DJ Wells
All right, man, I know we talked about this enough, but so far with this trade, who y'all feel like won this trade so far?
Bishop Hendrix
Oh, the Knicks.
DJ Wells
Knicks. Easy cat.
Bishop Hendrix
1Oder and turned up, kept shit going.
T
I I said that though, before the year started.
DJ Wells
You did.
T
He said that he was getting shaqing Kobe.
DJ Wells
So I was like, you over there shoulder shrugging for.
T
I was just yo, NBA insider. I was like, I thought you had more tapped into the well.
Bishop Hendrix
I mean, it happened. I can't help. You know, when I'm coaching, I always tell him, I can't play for y'all, man. I gotta go out there and play.
T
No, that's what they say to me.
DJ Wells
That's what they say.
T
So all the coaches out of coaching.
DJ Wells
Say to me, look at you still.
Bishop Hendrix
In my shot, nigga. Always try to take my moment.
DJ Wells
Hey, when we dropped that real, they was just like, T beh would be here, right?
Bishop Hendrix
He really do though.
T
Nigga, that's cuz he behave with all right.
DJ Wells
The real insider now. You know who hate with all right, Mike for sure.
Bishop Hendrix
Tell them about the upgrade.
DJ Wells
Come on.
Bishop Hendrix
How y'all feel about these new lenses, y'all?
DJ Wells
Shout out to Freaky Mike. Shout out to the production team going crazy, man. You think the wolves gave up on Cat too early?
T
Yeah, I think they had another run in them. I mean, obviously they just had the best year in the franchise or whatever they what they make to the Eastern Western Conference finals. I think they was one step away. Like one piece away, I should say, from making it to the finals and actually competing for A championship. Probably taking the Celtics on a. Probably the seven. Six or seven games for real. They probably needed one more scoring third off the bench.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, yeah.
T
And then they could have been a complete team almost, but. And I think they gave up a little early. I think Cat obviously is in his prime playing unbelievable right now. And I think he's a better player than Junior. I mean, obviously he makes more money. But I think they had one more year in them for sure.
DJ Wells
And it's always interesting to hear about how, like, money can mess up a good thing. Because like, James Harbor's on the podcast talking about how $4 million really messed up. Him saying, okay, seeing them having that team like, so in hindsight, it's like, yeah, you saving money. We know we want to move on because. To make the finances work. But they definitely feel the difference in that because like you said, they could have had a hell of a season. They could have got to the midpoint and then added one of these disgruntled stars or somebody looking like we got a lot of role players. That's up grabs right now. They could have added another scoring threat on that team and been a finals contender for sure. But be him, man, seventh place in the West. What they gonna do?
Bishop Hendrix
Man, we struggling. We struggling.
DJ Wells
We.
Bishop Hendrix
We low key ass.
DJ Wells
Oh, okay. You don't feel as optimistic as you have been?
Bishop Hendrix
No, no, no. I'm saying early on, like, you know, it's 82 games, but we, we. We ass right now. But for us to still be competing out in the West, I'm okay with that. I just. I had higher expectations for us this year. So if they don't figure it out by All Star break. Well, a little bit after All Star break, they probably through.
DJ Wells
Damn. You think they got that much time? I was going to ask you where you see they going to finish up. You think? Are they a playoff team for sure?
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, they a playoff team. Even if they slip down to the plan, I think they'll get in, but I just don't know if they're making no real noise. I don't think they can fuck with the Thunder, the Nuggets, any of those top teams out there. They. I don't even think they better than Memphis.
T
Nah. So I agree. I feel like they took a. Obviously they did take a step back. Cause last year they were one of the top teams, but I just think they're missing that present. Cat is a 20 and 10 guy and he could shoot the three.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, y'all should have sent fucking Rudy to New York.
DJ Wells
They Definitely did not want that.
T
The Knicks wasn't.
DJ Wells
There was nothing.
Bishop Hendrix
Tibbs would have been tight.
DJ Wells
Tibbs lost his heart. No.
Bishop Hendrix
Fuck y'all gave me.
DJ Wells
All right, who getting the dub tonight next to T. W. Lay up, Rudy. He always make that face, too, bro. Shout out to Tim. Who can the dub tonight?
Bishop Hendrix
Fellas, I'm up and down with it. I don't know. I'm gonna be real.
T
I think playing in Minnesota, I think ae he won those kind of guys. He. He love those kind of moments. And I think he gonna go crazy and ruin Cat return.
DJ Wells
That'd be fire. He'd drop a 40 piece and talk some shit to Cat.
Bishop Hendrix
Like he own that. Yeah, he owned that for sure.
T
I think he might ruin cat return.
DJ Wells
So, man. All right, man. We going to Bulls across the board.
Bishop Hendrix
I'll take Knicks.
DJ Wells
Okay, turn up. Where is that? Grizzlies Dennis Schroder debut, man.
T
That's gonna be a nice game.
Bishop Hendrix
You're welcome, Dennis.
DJ Wells
You see we're at number 71.
Bishop Hendrix
Oh, I didn't choose the number. Jeff did.
T
I ain't choose. So you picked the destination.
DJ Wells
Jeff picked the jersey number. Okay.
T
I'm sure he probably wearing 71. Cause 17 is probably retired. Maybe Chris Mullen possibly. I think Chris Mullen wore 17. He did, so that's probably retired. So he probably had to flip it.
Bishop Hendrix
71 is wild, though.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that is crazy. I was grinding. So I wonder how many jerseys they got retired up there. No disrespect to Chris Mullen. He gonna hoop out there, run TMC with that shit.
T
Yeah, I think.
DJ Wells
Correct.
T
I think Dennis gonna play really well up there.
DJ Wells
Rick Barry.
T
Yeah, I'm a little worried about. This is a. This is a tough game to play for your first game at Memphis.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
T
Your first assignment is JA with a new team. Good thing about Dennis, he's a competitor, though. So, you know he gonna go out and compete. But playing job for your first game on a new team is gonna be a little tough in Memphis, too.
DJ Wells
Hell, yeah. I don't wanna move on from this. The retirement numbers in Golden State's crazy boy. They gonna have to change some of them.
T
What you mean?
DJ Wells
They gonna have to ask some people up there, bro.
T
Wil Chamberlain.
DJ Wells
Thirteen. Damn.
T
Chris Mullen. Rick Barry.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
T
Nate Thurman.
DJ Wells
Put 30 up there now.
T
Oh, yeah. Steph Dre, Mullen and Klay out the gate. Yeah.
DJ Wells
Put BD jersey up there just for the fuck of it.
Bishop Hendrix
I ain't mad at it.
DJ Wells
Somebody we believe gotta get retired, bro.
Bishop Hendrix
Chris Mullins was so Raw on NBA Live, bro.
DJ Wells
Run tmc. One of my favorite duos, bro.
T
People forget how raw Chris Mullens was. Cause when he came to the Pacers, he was still cold. But he was old, old, bro. And he still was cold.
DJ Wells
He was still cooking shit, too.
T
Yeah, he's still.
Bishop Hendrix
I didn't know he was that tall. Oh, so Chris Mullis was small?
T
I ain't know. He was really hood, though.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, you see that?
DJ Wells
You see that cut? Yeah, that's definitely.
T
You know, somebody started talking, he like. He's super New York with it. I'm like, damn, you from where?
Bishop Hendrix
That'd be a dope interview.
DJ Wells
Oh, yeah. I love to have Chris Mullens on, bro.
T
Yeah, bro.
DJ Wells
They want to tnc eras him. Come on, bro. They was going crazy. They had Timmy.
Bishop Hendrix
Mitch Richmond is special, too.
DJ Wells
One of my favorite two guards of all time, Mitch Richmond, bro. And it was all they prompt.
Bishop Hendrix
I had that Reggie Miller argument all the time.
T
He said he used to get lit, too, like, all the time.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he used to have a little.
T
Bit of an issue problem.
DJ Wells
Yeah, but he was out there cooking after what's happening.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, bro. That's when you can be drunk and still be effective and help your team be lit.
T
He was different.
Bishop Hendrix
Special, bro.
DJ Wells
That's elite, bro.
Bishop Hendrix
It's different when you hoop high, but who been drunk, bro?
T
30 off the plane is crazy.
DJ Wells
Yeah, bro. Off the Jack Daniels getting 30. You elite, bro. You said you used to have a conversation. Mitch Richmond to Reggie.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, I used to have. All my friends used to love Reggie Miller, bro. And I was just asleep. I just liked Mitch Richmond. Cause he's a big guard, super strong.
DJ Wells
I poked him with Mitch Richmond cover live, too, for sure. Listen, man, the warriors are still looking to make some additions of these couple names we got on here. Who y'all think is a likely possibility? Guy Vooch or Zach Levine coming down from the Bulls. Jimmy Butler or Lori Marketer?
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, Lori Marketer is on the trade, man. Somebody get Lori. Even if he don't go.
DJ Wells
They've been trying to get him for the whole summer. Utah was charging.
T
No, I was sleep.
DJ Wells
They was. They was waxing, man.
Bishop Hendrix
Somebody got to get Lori, man. I'm so happy to see that he's about to be free. I'm sorry I missed that. But, yeah, I'm. I'm hype about that.
T
I don't think they getting Lori. They've been trying too long. Yeah, I mean, somebody or Zach Levine more. More likely than Jimmy Butler.
Bishop Hendrix
Zach Levine be lit, though.
DJ Wells
In the crazy world, how could they get Jack Levine that boots? Because I feel like the bull to do a cracker deal.
T
Not above all those young guys. Kaminga.
Bishop Hendrix
Gotta give you a roster, bro.
T
Kaminga and Wiggs or Zach, Lavina, Vooch. Terrible chart. They gotta give a Kaminga and some of them young guys, probably.
DJ Wells
Some of the young guys and picks, probably.
T
But yeah, BP Kaminga.
DJ Wells
But that's a hell of a starting Fato.
T
What?
Bishop Hendrix
What is it? What would it be?
DJ Wells
Are you starting Stepping dentists together?
T
Yeah, he's starting tonight. He said, oh, turn up.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he's starting oh, Turnips. Steve be on that shit. So if you starting them two, Jack Levine, Draymond and Vooch.
T
That's a terrible lineup.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that's a little too much.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, give me trace.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I didn't really think. Yeah, Draymond and Vooch together is too much. Now that you're gonna start Dennis and Steph, you're gonna have to do something else. I mean, but if you do that situation, Wig could probably stay.
T
Yeah, they gotta keep wig. Wig. Wig is playing good.
DJ Wells
You can't give up Andrew Wiggins. Yeah, maybe that ain't the move, but like you said, if Lori marketing could get there, that's dangerous.
T
Lori Marketing. Yeah. But then you have to give up Kaminga for Lori marketing. Kaminga, bp couple picks for Lloyd Marketing. Yeah, I like that team.
DJ Wells
Yeah, bro. Get an all star in his prime or something.
T
Yeah, I like that team.
Bishop Hendrix
Do it with no hands.
DJ Wells
All right. Grizzlies 18 9, second to West.
Bishop Hendrix
Special team, bro.
T
It's a Ja effect.
Bishop Hendrix
Special team.
DJ Wells
That's what I was gonna ask y'all. How y'all feel like this team can do this? Cause, like, it's. They ain't really under the radar, but they don't get as much conversation as they probably should, especially where they're positioned at so far this season, and JA has missed games, and they've still, like, managed to be where they at right now.
T
It's amazing, just him being around and, like, him being part of the team. They swag is just different. Like when he was gone last year, suspended, couldn't play all that stuff.
DJ Wells
No energy, ass.
T
But just him being on the bench sometimes. And when he's out with injury or whatever, they swag.
DJ Wells
Just different.
T
Yeah.
DJ Wells
And it's funny because people on Twitter have been talking about you. They were like, man, shout out to T, but you know what I'm saying? Keep throwing the Cam Cam Johnson allegations on my team. We want that to happen. And then some people like, hey, we still getting Gigi Jackson back? Hold up, Gigi.
T
But I mean, that's the beautiful thing about Gigi. He can come off the bench and be an energy guy. Cam gonna be a man. He gonna be the perfect addition for y'all, bro. I'm telling you, I'm gonna turn him up, bro.
DJ Wells
So who getting win tonight? They're going warriors or Grizzlies?
T
Ja Live for the moments. I'm going with ja.
Bishop Hendrix
I take Steph.
DJ Wells
I was gonna say, I feel like this might be one of them nights where Steph get on his bullshit in Memphis, too. It's gonna be a hell of a game, though. It's gonna be a hell of a game.
T
Yeah, I'm gonna go with ja.
Bishop Hendrix
Shout out to that boy Zach Eaty, too, man.
T
He back healthy yet?
Bishop Hendrix
No, I was just saying. Injury I'd be thinking about. I gave him hell watching him move at Purdue.
DJ Wells
Everybody did.
Bishop Hendrix
To see how he moving when he healthy. It's crazy still to be to this day, bro. So my apologies, King.
DJ Wells
Yeah. People didn't think he was an NBA player. They're like, damn, he ain't gonna make it.
Bishop Hendrix
I thought he was an NBA player. It's just, bro, the mobility, bro. I don't know what they did to him, bro. Cause he was not running the floor like that in college, bro.
DJ Wells
He wasn't playing with crazy. He wasn't playing with JA either. You see them? Them white, steady point guards are Purdue, boy.
Bishop Hendrix
Shout out to my boy Braden.
DJ Wells
For sure.
Bishop Hendrix
I mean, but I don't know. That's just. I've never seen no like that in my life, bro.

John Mittlekoff
This is John Mittlekoff from Three and out with John Mittlekoff. Picture this. You're in the garage, your favorite room in the house, and you're tuning up your engine with parts you found on ebay. Every piece is just locking perfectly into place. You step back to admire your work, hands covered in grease. And because you're committed to driving that thing further than the odometer can even handle, you start thinking to yourself, you know what? I could probably use some new brakes, some shocks and struts. This baby deserves a new air filter. So you head right back to ebay. You can find any part you need. It's unreal. From wipers and headlights to cold air intakes, exhaust systems, and even that turbo you've had on your mind. Ebay is that stock garage of your dreams and you've got ebay guaranteed fit. Because eBay knows DIY fixes can be major and mods are also intense. So you need to know those parts are guaranteed to fit every time before you dive in. Wrench first and in the off chance you order a part and it doesn't fit, send it back. Simple as that. You know what you love more than the car itself is driving it. You're serious when it comes to engine maintenance and locked in when you're headed into a build. And that's exactly why you start with ebay. Minor fix or complete overhaul. You want to get your ride back on the road and you've got ebay guaranteed fit. So ebay created my garage where all you had to do is add your ride's info to get exact parts that fit. When you see that green check, you're a click away from that part, clicking perfectly into place. So now that you know all that, imagine standing at that open garage door looking at the car you love more than anything. Knowing that anything is possible. Whether it's keeping it on the road forever or turning it into something that's never been on the road before. Because with ebay, your garage just got a whole lot bigger. Get all the parts you need at prices you'll love. Guaranteed to fit every time. Ebay things people love.

DJ Wells
Jvk, the North Single league.
Bishop Hendrix
I know y'all tapped in, but on my soul, I can't name six players. On the Wizards.
DJ Wells
Dang.
T
I go with Jordan Pool. I can name Jordan Pool. Bill. I don't know how I say Calabuli. Whatever his name.
DJ Wells
French. Yeah.
T
South of this country Cools, Iowa.
DJ Wells
Robyn, Billy Shunas.
T
And then they strapped a young boy from Pittsburgh. What's his name?
DJ Wells
Alex R. I ain't know how he Alexar's from France.
T
They got Alexar, but they drafted a point guard from Pittsburgh.
DJ Wells
Joshua.
Bishop Hendrix
Nah, bro, that roster is wicked.
T
I don't know the young boy. I'm keeping a lot to you, but he was good in summer league, too. He was good in college, though.
DJ Wells
Sadiq. Bae. Yeah, Sadiq.
T
Did they play for them? I ain't seen Sadiq out there in a minute. Damn. That nigga's still in the league. Johnny Davis.
Bishop Hendrix
A lot of them niggas was in the club with us in Vegas.
T
Malcolm Brogdon played there. I did not. Oh, Carlson.
DJ Wells
Bud Carrington Cole.
T
Yeah. I couldn't remember his name.
DJ Wells
Yeah, So I don't know who.
T
I didn't know Malcolm Brogdon was out there.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he out there chilling.
T
All right. He a quality player, man. He might need to get traded.
DJ Wells
He's on the block for sure.
Bishop Hendrix
That's a good pickup for somebody.
DJ Wells
He's on the block. They're not even playing him for that reason. Malcolm, he got healthy, yet. He's on the block for sure.
T
Malcolm Bryan can be a good pickup for a couple teams. Like, I think we need to break it there.
Bishop Hendrix
Damn.
T
He probably like it.
Bishop Hendrix
Nah, they ain't hated it.
T
He's from around that area, ain't he?
Bishop Hendrix
Send him back to.
T
He went to Virginia.
DJ Wells
Nah, he from Georgia.
T
He went to Virginia, though, so he probably.
Bishop Hendrix
Damn.
T
He was trying to be a politician, so D.C. probably.
DJ Wells
He sure was in our locker rooms. We ain't need none of that shit. Nigga, go get a bucket.
T
He might need to go to the. Who, Brock. Need to go to DJ know.
Bishop Hendrix
Hey, DJ hates preachers and politicians.
DJ Wells
That's crazy that you put that smut on me. Anybody that's positive, maybe one of them is true. But now Broderick could help out a team for sure, bro, like you said. I'm trying to think of the top teams in the east who would. And I don't know if the Bucks would need him, but it wouldn't be bad. It wouldn't be bad. I've seen cj, though. I've seen this. We talked about the link up. CJ.
Bishop Hendrix
He ain't going back.
T
CJ McCollum.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Link him up with Dane.
Bishop Hendrix
I'm something.
DJ Wells
Ah, I'm something.
T
But how you gonna use him if.
DJ Wells
He got at the 2?
Bishop Hendrix
He's willing to.
T
He's starting at the 2.
DJ Wells
Most definitely.
T
Oh, he need to score, bro. He need to score.
Bishop Hendrix
So you gotta. What's that?
T
Who trading for who? They trading me for Bobby Portis.
DJ Wells
I don't know what they gonna. I don't know what they gonna want to give up on. But he's should be obtainable for sure.
Bishop Hendrix
Cause Brook Lopez start right. Giannis will be your four. Chris Middleton will be your three.
DJ Wells
Damon C.J. to one and two.
T
I don't like it.
DJ Wells
Maybe C.J. come off the bench. Cause maybe you need Tony Prince.
T
I like Brock. I like Brogdon before. I like C.J. mcCullum for that team.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah.
T
I don't think Brogdon a better player than CJ McCullum from no stretch of the imagination. They both quality players. But I think Brognan can come off the bench.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Bishop Hendrix
He's serving for a fit.
T
Yeah. And fit that role a little better than CJ McColl. I can't see CJ coming off the bench.
DJ Wells
I just want Damon CJ. I would love to see that happen. I would love for Damon CJ to link back up and do some shit. That'd be fire.
T
The story would be fire.
DJ Wells
But I'm thinking other teams. The Knicks clearly don't need him.
T
Cause Milwaukee damn near don't got a backup point guard. They don't play Dalon Wright no more. They don't play the other dude that stole from cvs. What was his name?
Bishop Hendrix
I thought he talking about one.
DJ Wells
He was wiping Target down.
T
He was wiping Target down.
Bishop Hendrix
Somebody in the NBA was stealing from Target.
T
Yeah, damn.
DJ Wells
No, he was. He was stealing. It was ripped up. He was wrecking up.
T
Oh, that wasn't true.
DJ Wells
He was racking up. I'm saying, like he was worthwhile.
T
Was getting his name like Ryan or something or Ron or some shit.
Bishop Hendrix
Are y'all sure? Nigga was stealing from Target. I swear to God damn.
T
Think his name. Ryan Hollins. Nah, nah. What was it?
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, Ryan Hollins.
T
No, it wasn't.
Bishop Hendrix
Jeff said Ryan Hollins was stealing from Target.
T
It's one of them. Yo, he was. He was in. He played for D.C. at that time.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
T
There you go, Rollins. Hell yeah.
Bishop Hendrix
Damn.
DJ Wells
That's Robbins.
T
Ryan Rollins. Yeah. Yeah, he was getting to it. He was me in fifth grade.
Bishop Hendrix
Damn. Double lar. Fuck it. That's crazy. Stealing in the NBA is nuts. You too greedy, bro. He needs your ass whooped.
DJ Wells
Or if he was on a two way.
Bishop Hendrix
Nah, bro, you still too greedy. That's some good chicken still, bro. Quit stealing, bro.
T
Yeah, but he played for Milwaukee now. I seen him.
DJ Wells
He was.
T
Had some backup men for a little bit, but.
Bishop Hendrix
And to get caught. How embarrassing is that?
DJ Wells
Cause you're NBA player, so you tall as hell.
T
Yeah, he don't play no more. Either him or Delon. Rock really don't get no PT.
Bishop Hendrix
It ain't never been a good thief over 6'two bro.
DJ Wells
It's a.
Bishop Hendrix
It is a hype requirement.
DJ Wells
Excuse me?
Bishop Hendrix
That's why boosters are. Bro. They all five, five and below. Shout out to the whole east side of that.
DJ Wells
Jesus Christ.
Bishop Hendrix
I'm gonna put on. Don't put a six foot two on your roster. Go the playoff. Keep stealing in them scrubs and ski bags.
DJ Wells
She can't slide the crawler fast enough.
Bishop Hendrix
Crocs you are. That's the kid.
DJ Wells

T
The Nets really ain't got nobody left.
Bishop Hendrix

T
Ben Simmons might wake up, though.
Bishop Hendrix
He need to be on the block.
T

DJ Wells

Bishop Hendrix
All right. Y'all gonna be sick with him and Zion go somewhere. They gonna be killing somewhere if him.

DJ Wells
Z gonna kill wherever he go. Cuz he don't want to play basketball.
T
Did y'all see Michael Blackson talk about Ben Simmons? Holling at his girl?
Bishop Hendrix
Damn.
T
I just seen it on the interview. Some reason I was laughing like a.
Bishop Hendrix
Being a sniper, though.
T
He said he was supposed to be my friend. He told the girl, we ain't that cool. Shout to Ben.
Bishop Hendrix
We got a couple of niggas like that.
DJ Wells
We ain't that cool.
Bishop Hendrix

Bishop Hendrix
That's a good game though.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that's gonna be a hell of a game.
Bishop Hendrix
That's a good game.
DJ Wells
I'm gonna go with the Kings for sure. College basketball. Listen, man, first of all, breaking news. That dropped yesterday. How y'all feel about that? The juco. Now, if you playing the juco level, it does not count towards your eligibility if you transfer up.
T
That's dope. I mean, shit, I don't know if it's dope, but it saved a lot of people. A lot of people had to go juco when we was growing up. Cause of grades, they couldn't get them or whatever. They had to go juco. And they only had two years to play D1 basketball, D2 basketball, whatever it was, or didn't get a chance to play the whole four years. That's cool.
DJ Wells
Now I wanna ask you this as a high school coach. Do you think that hurts the high school kids now as far as recruitment situation?
T
Nah, it help em actually. Cause you gotta think. A lot of guys are going into the portal after the first year. So they're not even recruiting high school kids no more. They just going to recruit college kids that's in the portal. So kids that are not getting highly recruited right now want to go D1, D2, and schools are not looking at them. They're just going to recruit other people that's in the Portal. They get a chance to go to a junior college play, get better two years older and get a chance to go back and get recruited by those same schools that weren't looking at them.
Bishop Hendrix
Shout out to the juco shout out to my little homie Devin woods, man. Hopefully some schools is looking at him.
T
Yeah, but like a guy like D. Woods now he get a chance to still go play for four years, you know what I mean? Yeah, so that's cool. Or like some of these young guys who not getting recruited and some of these junior colleges are after them, they get to go play for two years do they thing now they still get four years to play at a high level in college?
DJ Wells
For sure, man. A lot of people have mixed feelings about it. Some of the other older athletes is mad. They was like damn, I lost my red shirt for two snapshots. Now they get unlimited time. Basically it's like you can go juco kill you transfer up at 20, 21, you still got four more years to get this nil money. And they're like damn, now how's that gonna affect nil now?
T
Nah, it ain't gonna affect shit.
DJ Wells
That money still get to the door.
T
Yeah, money about to get to the.
Bishop Hendrix
Bag, they wanna give it to you. Hell, you already a super adult at 25. Shit, you still sham. Got niggas in college to get that paper. Go crazy, my nigga.
T
I'm only mad for guys who had to go juco cause of grades and they only had two years to do they thing when they got back out. That sucks, you know, I mean but who really wanted to be 25 in college?
Bishop Hendrix
Exactly.
T
I didn't.
Bishop Hendrix
Oh, that's too old.
T
But now I could make money if you can. If I could have made money in college and I could have been 25.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, you just make it a meal.
DJ Wells
Yeah, you are employee.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, I just don't work for the state. Just don't want to be 25 looking at a 18 year old cheerleader, bro. I'm just, I don't know, there's a lot that goes into that, bro.
T
I mean if I'm making a million dollars at.
Bishop Hendrix
You gotta be making it though.
T
Or even making 200,000 at 25 in college. I'm smooth.
DJ Wells
Cause it ain't like you about to go overseas and back there right now if you're 25 still in college. So I get from the money aspect like you said him the optics can be a little nasty because bro, you 24 years old, bro. I mean 2418 is a hell of.
Bishop Hendrix
A just come to practice and shit.
T
I mean. Yeah, just cause you in college don't mean you dating college girls. You could be dating for sure.
Bishop Hendrix
Nah, yeah, you can date whoever you want. I'M just the atmosphere is kind of like I'm 25 and I don't know.
DJ Wells
I gotta go to class.
T
They ain't going to class. They getting. They motherfuckers about to get. They masters.
DJ Wells

John Mittlekoff
This is John Mittlekoff from Three and out with John Mittlekoff. Picture this. You're in the garage, your favorite room in the house, and you're tuning up your engine with parts you found on ebay. Every piece is just locking perfectly into place. You step back to admire your work, hands covered in grease. And because you're committed to driving that thing further than the odometer can even handle, you start thinking to yourself, you know what? I could probably use some new brakes, some shocks and struts. This baby deserves a new air filter. So you head right back to ebay. You can find any part you need. It's unreal. From wipers and headlights to cold air intakes, exhaust systems, and even that turbo you've had on your mind. Ebay is that stock garage of your dreams. And you've got ebay guaranteed fit. Because eBay knows DIY fixes can be major and mods are also intense. So you need to know those parts are guaranteed to fit every time before you dive in. Wrench first. And in the off chance you order a part and it doesn't fit, send it back. Simple as that. You know what you love more than the car itself is driving it. You're serious when it comes to engine maintenance and locked in when you're headed into a build. And that's exactly why you start with ebay. Minor fix or complete overhaul. You want to get your ride back on the road, and you've got ebay guaranteed fit. So ebay created my garage where all you had to do is add your ride's info to get exact parts that fit. When you see that green check, you're a click away from that part, clicking perfectly into place. So now that you know all that. Imagine standing at that open garage door looking at the car you love more than anything. Knowing that anything is possible. Whether it's keeping it on the road forever or turning it into something that's never been on the road before. Because with ebay, your garage just got a whole lot bigger. Get all the parts you need at prices you'll love. Guaranteed to fit every time. Ebay things people love.

DJ Wells
Speaking of nil money well worth it. Hey, boy, we talked about Jeremiah Fears. Boy went crazy.
Bishop Hendrix
Why is that?
DJ Wells
Oklahoma beat Michigan 87, 86 on the four.
T
Michigan got two bigs.
Bishop Hendrix
That Michigan was whooping them at first.
DJ Wells
They was whooping they ass.
Bishop Hendrix
They got two quality bigs.
T
They got one a seven footer, damn near like a guard. Yeah, he make plays and shit. I was watching that game too. Jeremiah Fish, boy.
DJ Wells
Yeah. And I am well worth it, boy.
Bishop Hendrix
That coach is amazing. I don't know his name, but believing in him like that, bro. Cause he turned up, bro.
T
He only going to the league.
DJ Wells
I think a lot of people talked about it, especially yesterday. Undefeated too as well. I don't know how they number 14, undefeated, but you know, so that strength is scheduled strength.
T
The schedule is a little shaky, but.
DJ Wells
I ain't lost to nobody.
Bishop Hendrix
They was. They were supposed to lose that game.
T
Yeah.
DJ Wells
They weren't supposed to win that game yesterday and they stole that shit.
T
Nah, he nice. I mean dynamic. He talked about him the other day. I watched him.
DJ Wells
Indie Heat.
T
We went to the game, the Summer Pack Center. Yeah. We went to go see our young boy Isaiah. Go play. And he was playing on the other court.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah.
T
And he was going crazy. And I'm like, who this little fast joker, bro?
Bishop Hendrix
I told y'all, that's the fucking Russell Westbrook, bro.
DJ Wells
Straight up, bro.
Bishop Hendrix
Them old niggas, see, that's the difference. Like them old niggas was trying to. Michigan got a couple old heads. Niggas couldn't stand in front of him, bro. And he was making plays for his teammates, bro. He's a dynamic player, bro. He's literally the only reason why they won. He had 30, but the ball was in his hands all night, bro.
T
He can play though.
DJ Wells
Yeah, one and done for sure.
T
I'd be surprised if he's not one and done, but he can really play.
DJ Wells
But I wonder how much that averaging 17.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah.
DJ Wells
You getting to it. My boy as a freshman kills.
Bishop Hendrix
We was talking about the players that like reclassed up early.
T
Yeah.
Bishop Hendrix
Nah, bro, them N is doing they thing.
T
Yeah, you know, it's crazy.
DJ Wells
You know he flipped from Illinois.
T
Yeah, yeah.
Bishop Hendrix
Had more opportunity though. Got more opportunity in Oklahoma, bro. I can tell that coach really fuck with him, bro, and let him go and do his thing. He got some other quality players around him, but he is the engine on that team. And for you to average 17 as a freshman, that's hard in college, bro.
T
The thing to make they seem kind of dynamic, I was watching last night, they start three guards, three point guards at that, so they all can move the ball, but he's just more dynamic than the other two. You can just tell he kind of just jumps off the screen when you watch him play. Like, damn, his speed, his quickness and his shot making ability kind of just jump off the screen. So I knew that he was the guy.
Bishop Hendrix
And he know how to get to the line.
DJ Wells
Yeah, yeah, he's savvy, but his effort and energy is always there. That's why I always fuck with him because obviously he got a feel for the game, but he always played hard. Like you said that Russell Westbrook mentality with that shit, bro.
Bishop Hendrix
That shit. Seeing him play this summer and seeing him yesterday, that transition is life for him. So him making that decision to reclass up, it made sense.
T
I think this is like what's hurting though. I think like kids. I'm not saying him, I think he's one of those guys that college is going to benefit him. But some guys like Cooper Flagg, I just feel like they should have been able to go out of high school. Like Ace Bailey should have been able to go out of high school. Some of these guys, college not really benefiting them and now it's kind of hurting the colleges. Cause you look at a kid like AJ Debenta, whatever his name is, right? He getting $7 million for one year and I think he cold. So I think he gonna go to BYU and have a heck of a year, but he don't really need to go there.
Bishop Hendrix
Nah, true.
DJ Wells
He has to.
T
Yeah. Like you really kind of messing BYU up, like. Yeah, I mean you turned him up for a year, but then what?
Bishop Hendrix
We back to regular schedule, pro.
T
You know what I mean? So you're really wasting some of these people time. Some of the colleges.
Bishop Hendrix
Him and the other big that's going there with him.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he nice too.
Bishop Hendrix
He got the other top 50 player going there with him.
DJ Wells
You know, we just mentioned some names and say any other names in college of basketball y'all rocking with. I know you've been high on the Dillon Harper train before. It was popular.
T
Nah. Cause I seen him when he was young. I think he a really talented player. I think he should be. And in conversation for the number one pick in the draft, obviously people gonna pick Cooper Flagg. I mean, everything that comes with him. But Dylan Harper really, really good at basketball.
DJ Wells
You think he might go higher than ice?
T
Yeah, it depends the team, the draft you need. The draft or the need. But he's a big guard that can play both positions in one or two. He can score it, he can facilitate. But he big. Like six. Six.
Bishop Hendrix
I like when you said the Blazers should take him.
T
Yeah, they need them. It'd be perfect for that team.
DJ Wells
And they'll be there. They will most definitely be there.
Bishop Hendrix
They'll be there wherever that lottery ball drop. I always wanted to know how they. I never understood how they did that either.
DJ Wells
Well, the lottery.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, I never understood.
DJ Wells
Well, they be having different formulas for it. Do I think that it's all the way just lottery balls? No, of course there's some influence in that. It's too many coincidences for us to know who got number one picks going certain places. But I think they have it to where it's like they go by how trash you are. And then later season, like the competitiveness. I know they used to do. I don't know if they still do it, but like, yo, yo. Like how you play the end of the season, like, they don't want people to just flat out tank. Like, you could be sad, but like, if you. So what competitive Northern End. Like, I don't know how it affects the lottery balls or something like that. Something weird. But we know how that is. More controlled than never knew.
T
Y'all had a. I seen a thing on Instagram the other day. Maybe last night. I was just. I was up early. I was up at like 4 in the morning. I was bored. I was wondering.
Bishop Hendrix
Send me a DM. Oh, you send me a reel at 4 in the morning.
T
I did. I woke up. I Woke up at 4. I woke up at 4 in the morning. I was bored.
Bishop Hendrix
I Know, I know, I know. Sierra make you go to sleep, lay your head down on her chest.
DJ Wells
What you said?
T
Jeff D. Got a bedtime.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, we on your ass.
T
Snitching on me, nigga. Nah, they were saying, who, who would you take? Like, if AJ could go out of high school now, would you take Cooper Flag or aj?
DJ Wells
Aj?
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, for my team. Depends. If I need an instant killer, I'm gonna take a aj. But if I need somebody who I see is gonna be a cold role player in the NBA, I'll take Coop.
T
But why? As per the number one pick, you'll take a role player?
Bishop Hendrix
If I need him, if I. If that's what my team need. If I'm like in a rebuilding stage, give me. I wanna put the ball in AJ hand right away. He more dynamic than Cooper Flagg. Cooper Flag just does everything well.
DJ Wells
I think AJ's better at offense. He has got more of his back and probably score a lot sooner and more frequent in the NBA than Cooper will. I'd rather take aj.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, I'm gonna take AJ to rebuild my team. But if I already got a solid team and I can get Cooper Flag, I'm taking Coop.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I'm taking aj. Regardless, I can go get somebody in free agency. Can do to go rebound and play hard and shit. You go kill.
T
Yeah, like Cooper Flag. Like Andre Karolenko. Like, as I keep watching him, he a really good defender, like helped shot blocker. He come over, he rebounds really well. Rebound, block shots, run the floor, dunk jumper, kind of inconsistent, can make it, but that ain't really his thing. It was like, damn, he's giving me AK47 vibes. For real.
Bishop Hendrix
I ain't mad at you for that.
T
Cause AK47 was an all star. He can do a lot of things on the basketball court, but he's a utility guy, could do pretty much everything.
DJ Wells
What do you see as far as a comparison early on for you? For aj, he got like.
T
Watching him in high school, he got that, man. He got like a mixture of people. He got like. You see him cross somebody and go dunk, it's like Jaylen Brown, he like, damn. Then you see him do a hesi pull. It's like T. Mac.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah.
T
You know what I mean? It's like, it's like a mixture of Jaylen Brown and T. Mac.
DJ Wells
I've seen a lot of people say he could be. And no disrespect because obviously he's cold. But a better RJ Barrett, he got more.
T
He got more a wiggle like, pause. But he got, like more fluidity in his game than RJ Barrett. RJ Barrett's like a straight line driver, Euro step, everything go left, bump you, like physical type. AJ Kind of hit you with AJ.
Bishop Hendrix
Not a strong guard like rj. He more of a finesse.
T
Yeah, he like rock you a little bit hesitant. He got T. Mac. Like, he got that T. Mac. And then he. Then he got a. Like some Jaylen Brown in him. It's like a mixture of Jaylen Brown and T. Mac.
DJ Wells
That would compare some. Yeah. If I got number one, I choose between two. Yeah. A.J. pull up, bro.
T
He don't play no defense like that, though.
Bishop Hendrix
That's why I love Cooper, though. Cooper can help you, especially if you need rebounding. I don't know, he just do all the little.
T
He ain't here to score. Yeah. Defensively and rebounding, AJ Is mpj. Yeah. It ain't really his.
Bishop Hendrix
Just saying, bro. You're giving 50, bro. You know my other niggas gonna defend and block these shots, bro. Throw that off the glass.
DJ Wells
Straight up.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah.
DJ Wells

DJ Wells
Yeah, sponsor the hometown album for sure.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, they put the logo on a jersey.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that's fire, man, for sure. Hey man, I'm show some love to tracing Eagle staff. North Dakota State guard. He had 40 yesterday on Alabama. I ain't get the dub. If you dropping 40, it don't matter no way. Keep killing King.
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, he can shoot that motherfucker.
T
Mine's gonna go to an Indy heat alone. Jeremiah Fears, we just talked about him dropping 30 on a comeback win. Game winning, three point shot, got fouled, hit the free throw.
DJ Wells
Hey, that's a tough call too. I don't want to take away from his moment because that's a hell of a shot he made. But that's a tough call to make on that three to do it at the Jordan.
T
What's at the Jordan Invitational or whatever. But I think they was down like.
Bishop Hendrix
A 10 too at one point of that game. Boy, a special kid.
T
What a hoop, man.
DJ Wells
I wanted to ask you how you felt about that. Cause like you played in college with all the pre Thanksgiving tournament. That was super big deals. I ain't gonna say they watered down, but they don't get as much attention. They were. Those were super big deals. Now you see throughout the season they be having these fire ass turns like the Jumpman tournaments and shit like that. Would that make you want to go to a different school just to be a part of some of them tournaments?
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, I remember when I played in talking to me what I played in the Maui. My bad Moana. What a dickhead.
T
I mean it was cool to play them tournaments because obviously your family and friends get to watch. Everybody's kind of tuned in around Thanksgiving and you get a chance for everybody to watch at home and you on national tv. But to have them throughout the year would be dope. I probably would want to go to a school that played more national televised games and played in bigger tournaments. You feel like more people get to see you. And now that you got a brand, make your brand bigger. You have good moments. Like he had last night, a four point play. I'm sure somebody probably called him about an nil deal or whatever. So that probably would be a talking point in my recruitment.
DJ Wells
Yeah, because I was looking like the Jordan Mary class. That's fire to have out of college teams. There's everybody. You play in the tournament. Noso seems always good. And you like the Nike PK terms they have in Oregon with the squad. Like that shit hit different. Like you talking about the nil. That's a different level of recruitment because like you see you playing on stage, it's totally different. You playing a tournament before the real tournament.
T
Yeah. Facts.
DJ Wells
Most people check out by then.
T
Yeah, for sure.
DJ Wells
Man. That's crazy. Behen. Last one of the week, man. Get well soon. Who needs some encouragement this morning?
Bishop Hendrix
Shit. Probably my cousin Derek. Motherfucker Ozempic did the reverse on my boy, sent him to the hospital. That motherfucker. That motherfucker pooed it and it was over with for my boy. So get well soon because fucking every weight loss journey is not successful. So I hope you know we sending my prayers to you and your family.
T
You got to get the Paul Wall, man. You heard what Paul Wall did? What he did, he put the sleeve on his stomach or something. Excuse me. Huh?
Bishop Hendrix
Yeah, lap bands.
DJ Wells
He got an Irish or horn sleeve on the stomach.
T
Yeah, he said he was wearing 350. He. He ended up tapping in with the Nike sweatband.
Bishop Hendrix
Okay, cuz, that's next. We gonna tap in. I'm gonna call Paul Wall for you. Cause you know what I mean? Your family needs you got kids and shit. And I for sure ain't gonna raise him. So we need you here. Get well soon. That's all I got.
T
You crazy?
DJ Wells
I'm gonna give my keybuster to Doug Gottlieb, man. Cause he caught Green Bay. He coached Green Bay. He caught Michigan Tech, a D2 team. He called him nobody you. And then they lost to him. So I hated Doug Gottlieb too. Adam Shepard was on his ass. He was like, hey, stop. Get out of my business. Worry about your squad.
T
I hated him. He was an asshole.
DJ Wells
Always has been, bro. But for you to call somebody, nobody you. And to lose him is crazy, bro. Don't call me nobody. You.
Bishop Hendrix
Nah, that's out of pocket.
T
That's straight out of pocket. And then lose to him. Michigan Tech. That sound like a fake school, though. I ain't even trying to be disrespectful, bro.
DJ Wells
