Hey, guys, it's your favorite unc here. Go ahead and click that subscribe button below so you don't miss a single episode of Nightcap. That button right here. Come for the sports. Stay for the stories. Just as we predicted, the NBA has rescinded Luka Doncha 16 technical file, allowing him to play Monday night's road game against the Detroit Pacers. I don't. I don't think we. I mean, Detroit Pistons. I'm Pacer. The Pistons. I. I don't think. I don't think we. Nobody. Anyone is surprised by that. The Lakers are playing too well. Luca is a super, super superstar. The last thing you want him to do is off the court.
Ocho
No leading the league and scoring is that. That's gonna be a big game for him. Obviously. You know, they want the Lakers to keep winning, too.
Joe
Anybody that's been in Atlanta, y' all know. Y' all know if. Y'. All. If you Atlanta, you a guy. You know about the Claremont Lounge. You know exactly what I'm talking about. 70, man. Some of Ocho, they ain't got stretch marks. They got.
Ocho
Oh, man, come on.
Joe
Hey, I'm telling you, Joe, you like. Oh, no, I ain't. No way.
Joe's Friend
Oh, what you. What you were doing now?
Joe
You know,
Ocho
Man.
Joe
Oh, because you know, like, you got a staple, an institution somewhere, and you say, man, you just got to see it. You just got to see it.
Ocho
Yeah, I might have to pull up over there to Claremont.
Joe's Friend
Yeah. How many times. Hey, how many times you went there?
Joe
I ain't went but, like, once or twice. Cause one first time, you got to go the second time to make sure what you saw the first time was legit. To make sure. And I went on a different night. So you got to make sure because everybody. You know what, it might have been old timers night.
Joe's Friend
Right, right, right.
Joe
So I just had to make sure what I saw the first time. Like, yeah, this. This is what they got.
Joe's Friend
Hey, but y' all shout out, man. Hey, you know, y' all got me hyped, man.
Joe
You know what? After.
Joe's Friend
After the show, I'm gonna go to booby trap tonight.
Joe
What you gonna go eat, man, you finna. You know you can take your ass to bed at 11 o'. Clock.
Joe's Friend
Nah, nah, nah. I'm going for real.
Joe
Yeah, it's. Yeah, you ain't going nowhere.
Joe's Friend
Hey, Joe.
Joe
Hey, somebody. Damn. Somebody put the.
Ocho
It's on P. It's on P. Yeah, they. They got it up,
Joe
Joe. I'm telling you. I'm telling you now. No, I don't get. Been in no. 5 time. I've been there twice. Lakers Mars. They're 11. 1, 125, 121.5 offensive rating, 1, 112.8 defensive rating. Luca is averaging 37 points, nine rebounds, eight assists. Austin Reeves is averaging 21 points, five rebounds, six assists. LeBron is averaging 19.6 rebounds, six assists. And the Lakers are. So what you think now, Joe, after what you've seen over the last. Let's just say the last. Basically last month since March. You think the Lakers are player or played themselves. Are playing themselves into being contenders?
Ocho
I don't know about, like, champion. Championship contenders on. I think they.
Joe
They.
Ocho
I think they can get out the first round depending on who they play against, but champions. That's. That's. That's saying a lot. That's saying a lot, man. I know they.
Joe
They.
Ocho
I know they playing good. They feeling good, they looking good, but.
Joe
Shh.
Ocho
I don't know about contenders. You think they contenders?
Joe
I don't know. I think they can beat everybody in the West. I don't know if they can. I don't really think they can beat San Antonio or. Or Golden.
Ocho
Okay, see.
Joe
Okay, see, but I've seen Luca.
Joe's Friend
Yeah.
Joe
Take down OKC by himself. Him and Kyrie. I saw that.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Yeah, I saw that.
Ocho
Okay, see? Grow.
Joe
So. I know. I know what Luca can Do.
Joe's Friend
Yeah.
Joe
The question is, he's gonna need Austin because Kyrie was able to have some big games. He's gonna need LeBron. Yeah. Efficient. Yes. Somebody told my book. Yeah, they got. They got a couple of bullet wounds. They got some little exit wounds. Yeah, they do. Little stab marks, people. Somebody don't put out a cigarette or something on them. It's okay. Okay, we going. Steph Curry teased the idea of possibly joining the Charlotte Hornets after his Father's Day of jersey was retired by the franchise earlier this week. Always keep your options open. Like you said. I know what that means when you get your jersey retired. It's immortalized. Nobody should ever be able to touch it. But I'm sure he would make an exception for. He would make a special exception if that were the case.
Ocho
Joe, you saying if Steph. Steph Curry go to Charlotte and. And get his dad jersey after rafters, I don't see that.
Joe
They definitely be sold out every night.
Ocho
I know he from there. I know that's home for him. But why? I can't see that. I can't. I'm sorry, I can't see it.
Joe
I don't either. I don't see him playing anywhere but Golden State. Yeah, Steph is in an era where everybody's kind of moving around. Steph, Steph is a, is a. It's a one jersey team.
Joe's Friend
One jersey guy.
Ocho
I don't know about that neither. Fellas,
Joe
you think still might be able to dip?
Ocho
I don't know. I think it might be possible. I mean, I think the warriors probably, if they ain't making a play in Uncle Ocho, they ain't in the playoffs. It's like, man, don't, don't, don't let him go out. Don't let him go out like that. Like, I think you can trade him and he can still contend for a title. You put him on the right team.
Joe
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Ocho
Yeah,
Joe
absolutely.
Ocho
I just think that course is kind of ran when it comes to Golden State. Talking about, yeah, they ain't getting back there. I don't see that.
Joe's Friend
Nope.

Joe's Friend
Wrap deal.
Ocho
Wait.
Joe
Draymond Green said K. Cunningham is not going to make the all NBA team because of the dumbass 65 game rule. Dre said it doesn't fix the issue. Like it does not fix the issue at all. And here's a, a guy that's done everything right. He has a collapsed lung and he's going to miss the all NBA team because this dumb ass rule. The rule does not fix the issue. It's just ridiculous. So here we go again with these unintended consequences. Because yeah, if you think about it, Joe making the all NBA selection, that adds another 50, 75 million dollars. Now Cade Cunningham is going to miss out.
Ocho
Hey look, now somebody else can step in.
Joe
Somebody else go get. Somebody else gonna get a big old contract. That's how it works.
Joe's Friend
Yeah,
Ocho
yeah, it's, hey, hey, it's unfortunate because you had these unforeseen injuries, bro. Yeah, I seen the injury and it's like dang, a collapse lung. Like bro, this basketball, that don't, that don't happen. You know what I mean? And it's like now he gonna have to miss out on all these other accolades because of this. It's unfortunate, bro. I, I, I ain't gonna lie to you. Now they put the rule in because they wanted guys to stop. All the rest know they wanted, they wanted to cut it down. But it's gonna, it's gonna hurt some guys who don't load manage, you know what I mean? Like Cade, unfortunately.
Joe
Yeah, for sure. And you see those guys, you see what it does? It gives. Shay was able to get that extra money because he's an all NBA selection. J Dub was all NBA selection. You so you see these guys getting this because they wanted to reward. It's a blessing and a curse. Prior to 19, prior to 1980, the player selected the MVP and the All NBA team. Yeah, but it's like, man, y' all be tripping. I don't like you, so I ain't voting for you. So they put it, they gave it to the players, they gave it to the, the writers. But now the writers have so much control, they get to determine who gonna get these 2, 3, 400 million dollar contracts for whether you like it or not. Yeah, that's crazy, Ocho. It's been like that in football. They select the all pro teams. They select all pro teams.
Ocho
Damn.
Joe
At least the Pro bowl is kind of divided up. You got the fan vote, you got the players vote. And then you got, you know, you got the, the coaches, general manager, whatever the case may be. So it's a three tier system, but all pro. It's all writers, the NBA, all NBA selection, all defensive selection. It is what it is. So there is no perfect answer. Because if you don't think players are biased, you're fooling yourself. Because they're human, right? Guys vote for the Pro Bowl. Guys voting for your bro. I'm like, bro, how you bro? Really? Really?
Ocho
That's why they took it out.
Joe
I mean, look, I know, but I took it serious because I know, look, because I won't go. I want guys to be rewarded for their work, Ocho. And it might be, it might just be this one year that he had an out of body experience and he deserved to go to the Pro Bowl. But you want to put somebody in there that's going. He had already done gone five, six times. But he didn't deserve it.
Joe's Friend
Yeah. And nothing they could do about that rule, huh? It's too late.
Joe
They blow. They voted on it. Yeah, they voted on it. They said 65 games.
Joe's Friend
That's, that's, that's, that, that's messed up. I mean, listen, they. 65 games for those, so they don't pull load management. There should be some type of, some type of grace period for those that are actually, that actually getting injured, right? Like injured for real. Where it doesn't affect them the same.
Joe
I mean, how did. I mean, collapse lungs. So what did, what did he do? Was he in a car crash?
Ocho
Nah, he got, didn't he get knee?
Joe's Friend
Joe, didn't he get knee?
Ocho
Yeah, he got knee unking his side like during the game, going for the ball. But he stayed in the game. It wasn't like. It didn't look like nothing major, but you could see him. He kept reaching like this, like he said something was wrong and he went to the side and they take him to the back and he. You know, Just a regular routine play, bro.
Joe
It takes. It takes a tremendous force to collapse along because that's why you got ribs there.
Ocho
Yeah, he need him. He need him right there in that. Yeah. Hold on. You should know. The Razorbacks back at work later today, baby. Whoopi.
Joe
Yeah, yeah.
Joe's Friend
I got you. I got you, Joe. I got you. I got you.
Ocho
Yeah,
Joe
well, hopefully they don't have to put no run no tube down and inflate it. Maybe with some just rest it'll inflate back on its own.
Joe's Friend
Damn.
Joe
But we've all had the. That's why it's air knocked out of.
Ocho
So that's why. That's why. That's why you got to be so lucky, bro, to win, man. Because it's like, yeah, everything could be going great. You could be having a hell of a season and something like this happened. Ocho. Yeah, it seemed like it may be nagging too. I can't see how it wouldn't be a nag. High one linger.
Joe
It says chest injuries. Blunt force trauma like a car accident or sports collisions. Penetrating trauma, gunshot stab wounds can break ribs or puncture the lung directly. Small air blisters called bleeds can form on the top of the lungs and burst, allowing air air to escape the chest cavities. This often happens. Happens without warning, particularly in a tall thin people. So you guys are more susceptible. Cause you're tall and thin. Hey, you see that, Joe? That come in handy.
Ocho
Oh, Joe, what you over there doing?
Joe's Friend
Hey, he said. He said thin. He talking to you, Joe. He ain't talking to me.
Ocho
You ain't thin man, Joe.
Joe's Friend
I'm every bit of 220 right now, Joe. You see how I'm feeling at this jacket, huh?
Ocho
Hey, you gotta chill O. Joe.
Joe
Joe Cade missing time could potentially open the door for Jayden Duran to make an all NBA team. Making him eligible for the five year $288.8 million.
Ocho
So look, look, look, look, look. See? Help. Somebody help your teammate. Hey, Kate already got by what he got about 260 already he decided what
Joe
did K sign for? But see here's the thing though, Joe. I'm trying to get me two more all NBA selection. So guess what? When that contract come up again. Boo Boo Supermax again.
Ocho
300. Well, that's that. That. I ain't gonna say it out the picture but you. You didn't have your home.
Joe
269.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Five years 269. That's just. That's Filthy.
Joe's Friend
That's good work. Yeah, boy. That's good work.
Ocho
That's filthy. It's filthy.
Joe
Kevin Durant is 26 points away from passing Michael Jordan on the all time scoring list. Obviously. LeBron James number one at 43, 229. Kareem is next at 3:38, 3. 87, followed by Carl Malone at 36,928. Kobe Bryant is number four at 33, 6:43. Michael Jordan is currently in the number five spot at 32, 2. 92, followed by Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, Wilt Chamberlain. James Harden should be the next player that break into the 30, 000 club. Shaq rounds out the top 10 with 28, 5 96.
Ocho
Hey, congrats to Katie. Crazy. Oh, yeah, that's impressive. I mean, yeah. Y' all know mj, my idol. To be able to pass him, I'm sure that'll be a hell of a defeat for kd. I'm happy for him. He's one of the, the, the, the best scorers ever played this game. Super elite, super efficient. I enjoy watching him play. They, they beat my Hawks tonight. They broke our street. They, they got, they, they got at us. They got at us. They got, they were.
Joe
Reed shepherd block. Old boy, old boy dunk. Joe. It went, it went downhill to her from there.
Ocho
Hey, Reed Shepherd. Hey, he can play.
Joe
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, I like, I like. He can go out there.
Joe
He compete.
Ocho
He compete. I like.
Joe
Gillespie from Phoenix.
Ocho
Yes.
Joe's Friend
Hey, bonus.
Joe
They're getting at it.
Ocho
Yeah, Them boys hooping.
Joe
Yeah. I mean, that's a lot of points,
Joe's Friend
but you know, in order to hit, in order to reach those milestones, you got to be available too, huh?
Ocho
Yeah, I agree. Ocho,
Joe
he couldn't fly.
Ocho
He, he, he, he probably. He was so peed off about the two games against the Lakers, he had to take it out on the.
Joe
Yeah, because you can't fly normally. They leave you. They normally leave you overnight at the, at the, in the hospital. The K took a car service back to Detroit because when you fly, you can't fly with a collapsed lung.
Joe's Friend
Yeah, you can't, you can't fly. No, no, no, no.
Joe
But they normally, they normally leave you overnight and then, you know. But man, KD doing this, man, look, the efficiency in which he does it, it's crazy.
Ocho
It is, bro. It's a beauty to watch though.
Joe
But you got guys, I mean, you guys talk about what he did in this amount of time, you got to realize, look at the amount of shots that he took. It's shots. You talking about years. I'm talking about shots. Ocho, if somebody, if a quarterback throws the ball five, let's just say for the sake of argument, quarterback throws the ball 50 times a game, he should have the most passing yards at the end of the year, right? Absolutely.
Joe's Friend
Absolutely. A game. Yeah.
Joe
Jordan was taking 25, 26 shots a game. So what are you, what are you talking about? That's not the diminishing. But I'm saying y' all try to diminish somebody because y' all said, well, he did it in this amount of time. But even though the amount of times. Look how many shots he's record. Look how few fewer shots that he had. Katie's shooting 52, 53 from the floor.
Ocho
Amazing.
Joe
It doesn't take away any somebody passing an all time great. It doesn't take away from the great that they're passing because he did that Jordan got. You cannot take six titles. You can't take five MVPs. You can't take 10 scoring titles. You can't take the all NBA selections and you can't take the six final MVPs. But if you are a, an athlete and you pass somebody, that's this storied right, bro. That's why you hear him say, bro, my name's gonna be in this list.
Ocho
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe's Friend
They gotta celebrate it. Yes, they gotta celebrate him. Especially when you hit a milestone like that. No matter how you feel about Katie, whether you don't like him personally, where you don't like his game, top five, whatever it may be, you got to celebrate, you know, someone, someone doing something like that.
Joe
And it's okay. I, I, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just of the, the, the, the Il for the cloth guys is that whatever I do, it does not take away from what Ozzy did, what John Mackey, what Dicker, what Big Kellen did, what Gronk has done, what Gates, what Nev. Kelsey has done. Whitten that don't take away from me. I did what I did. Congratulations to those guys. I don't feel like, man, do you feel? No. I got everything out of my career I could get. That's, that's what, that's what my numbers were intended to be. That so them breaking, passing me. And I, when I left, I was number one. Hell, I don't know where I am now. Kelsey's past me. Witness passed me. Gates has passed me. Gonzo has passed me. Hell, somebody else about to pass me pretty soon that's okay, you know, I don't feel any less because these guys are passing me about my career, and I don't think anybody should feel bad. Man, them joker don't pass me, man. Man, what people gonna say, huh?
Ocho
Yeah,
Joe
Kareem. Like, people didn't think nobody could get this record because big. Only bigs played that long because they were the ones that didn't have to, you know, hey, go back and look at Kareem. Hey, Kareem, get the rebound kick. That thing ambled down the coat. Yeah, give it to me. Magic.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Sky hook. But for a guard, a guy that like LeBron, to have the ball that length of time and to play that long, that's why nobody thought. Because what. Thinking about what you have to do. LeBron had to average 25 points a game for 20 years,
Ocho
for 20.
Joe's Friend
People don't understand how insane that is.
Joe
So when you look at Brady and look at the records, I mean, think about how long you would have to play just to break his passing record, his touchdowns record.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah.
Joe
You're gonna be able to. It's gonna be a. Hey, they're going to 17 games, and they're going to go. Eventually going to get to the 18 game. So. Ocho. So when you think about it, a guy played 15 years. That's basically two seasons right there. Of games.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah.
Joe
So when you look at a guy play. Guy play 15 play, you know, 17 seasons, he's gonna end up playing basically three more seasons. So now the number. The number is going to be skewed, but it don't take away anything, guys. It doesn't.
Ocho
No, no. Hey, hey. But I think I. I think LeBron gonna continue to play, guys, because he gonna put this. He won't put this out of reach.
Joe
He does.
Ocho
Yeah. He may. He may not never come out and say it, but I promise you, he won't put this out of reach.
Joe
I told somebody I think he's gonna play 25 seasons. You heard Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant say, if he really wants to, that's up to him, but he could play another four or five years. He could play till he's 45.
Ocho
Yeah, I think it's just more. It's just more of the. The demanding on the body. If you want to continue to have to go through them, you know, them tough workouts or continue.
Joe
Joe, do you still want to put that time. It's easy to put that in when you're making 55 million. Do you want to put that same kind of time in when you're making a Million, five, two million, three million or the vet minimum mid level exception. Do you still want to do that then though, Joe?
Ocho
And that if them endorsements right.
Joe
I'm sure he will. He got that unlocked. That ain't, that ain't going away. You know, he, he got the Nike deal. He has other stuff going on. So he's gonna have money coming in. He got a lifetime contract with Nike that's probably playing him 25, 30 billion dollars a year for. Yeah. As long as he's breathing.
Ocho
Hey, hey. And I've been seeing him in his golf.
Joe
Yeah. Yeah, he picked that up. Yeah, he picked that up. I guess he's like, you know what? Hey. And we hit the road. He picked up a little late. He probably should got on that thing like Steph did. Way, way early. But the thing is with golf is that you got to play it so much to really get good at it. It ain't something that you can just put down and like, okay, I pick it back up in two weeks, three weeks. You got to be obsessed with it.
Joe's Friend
And it take years, Joe, you know, it take years to get at it, especially if it's not your respective craft.
Ocho
But hey, hey, hey. My homies be at the golf course, bro. Eight hours, okay? Ocho out today.
Joe
You got to.
Ocho
Eight hours, bro.
Joe
You got to. And it, it takes guys. If you look at the guys that are good, it got guys that don't have this. You look at the guy, the quarterbacks, Quarterbacks don't develop their shoulders. Yeah, you look at the basketball players, you look at the baseball players, you look at the guys that don't develop their shoulders because you got to be fluid. I'm too tight. I only gonna go back. You gotta be able to be loose through here, man. You need, you need, you don't need no abs. You need a little gut.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, it's all in here.
Joe
Yeah, you need. That's what you need. But, man, this is amazing accomplishment, man, to see Kevin the Red. I, I, I, I bet you if you'd ask kd, you know, he's like, his goal. I want to play in the NBA, blah, blah, blah. It's like. But when you retire, you're gonna be in the top. You're gonna be top five score, man. What in the history of the game, right? And you see those great names that's up there and you starting from zero.
Joe's Friend
Yeah,
Ocho
man, because when you first started playing the game, Uncle Ocho, you just want to show you belong, bro. You ain't thinking about. Oh, man, I'm gonna try to be a top 10 scorer in the NBA, right? You just want to show you belong. And then as the journey continues, you know, you start to receive all these different accolades and you're like, hold on now he in reach. He finna pass mj. Oh, man. Come on.
Joe
It's like some things like when you just say MJ or you in a conversation with man, you tie wilts. Wilt mj. What?
Ocho
That's greatness.
Joe
It's like if you're a quarterback and you did something, you up there with Brady, you up there with Manning. Like, damn. Okay.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
When somebody said Mike Evans got 11 consecutive thousand yard season, he tied Jerry Rice.
Ocho
Who?
Joe
Jerry. Lord have mercy. But kd, Congratulations, bro. SGA says Lucas and Jokic fans don't complain about free throws when their favorite players get calls. But you'll never hear an OKC fan complain about my free throws. Y' all never hear Denver fans complain about yogic free throws. You'll never hear Laker fans complain about Luca free throws. It's just part of the game. Sga, you're doing something right when fans start to complain. Everybody in the history of the NBA has an arc where everyone loves and then everyone hates them. LeBron was hated, and look what he's done for the game is part of the game. I love it. It's stuff I dreamed about as a kid. And you're right.
Ocho
Absolutely right.
Joe
I think the only guy. I don't think. Look, we don't have media. We didn't have social media. So there's no way to definitively tell. But it's hard for me to believe that Magic and Bird and Jordan was ever disliked to this level. Now, maybe in their perspective cities, Boston hated Magic Johnson. Laker fans hated Larry Bird. Knicks fan hated you. Hey, so we understand that, but for the totality of it. Nah, nah. And like I said, we can't defend him. No, Ocho. Because we didn't have social media. So it would have been interesting to see if we can chart it. It just so happens that now we can chart it. We can see who gets the most negative, you know, stuff on social media. And it's been LeBron James like 10, 15 years running.
Ocho
Yeah. Hey, when you.
Joe
When.
Ocho
When you great, bro? When you great? They coming at you, man.
Joe's Friend
Come with the territory.
Ocho
I don't care what it is. Just like what Shea was saying about the foul thing. They talking about, he'd be foul baiting and all that, right? I don't think that. Well, I think. I just think he Knows how to manipulate the game to where he can get to what he want. He can get his 30 points, 30 plus points a night, and he know you can't stop it. And he. Now, he may be shooting, you know, a high rate as far as free throws, but he got plenty of games.
Joe
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ocho
So they acting like he can't. He can't average 30 points a night
Joe
from the free throw line. Y' all better stop.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, man.
Joe
Shooting 50 plus percent from the damn floor. Do you know how many guards have actually shot that well from the floor and scored 30 points?
Ocho
It ain't been a minute, bro.
Joe
Okay, I'll cut it off for you, Jordan. That's it.
Ocho
That's it.
Joe's Friend
That's it.
Joe
Score 30 and shoot 50 from the floor. Jordan, Michael J. Jordan, Mike, MJ, whatever you want to call Ernest. That's it. To score that many points and to shoot that high percentage from the damn floor.
Joe's Friend
Yeah.
Joe
Come on, man.
Ocho
You gotta have your mind made up when you come into the game every night.
Joe
I don't care what he doing. He doing something right. He gonna be back to back MVPs. That speaks volume.
Ocho
They gonna hate him even more. They gonna hate him even more.
Joe's Friend
Oh, yeah.
Joe
But everybody, everybody have that run. You know, James Harden had that run where he was shooting a bunch of free throws. Joel Embiid had that run where he was shutting the. Shooting a bunch of free throws.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah.
Joe's Friend
That goddamn James used to be killing that thing, bro. That got damn step back, Joe.
Ocho
Hey, he had.
Joe's Friend
It'd be looking like he traveling, but he not.
Ocho
He got a lot. I'm telling you, when you left handed, I already feel like, yeah, man, they
Joe
seem crafty as hell.
Ocho
Yeah, they are, bro. Yeah. And that the fact that James, left handed, can shoot, can get by his, man. He got an in between game. He can get all the way to the bucket. When he left okc, bro, he was thriving.
Joe
It's just like Manu. You remember how crafty Manu was like, that's, man, that left hand. It's something about the lefty, man.
Ocho
Couldn't stop it. Couldn't stop it. Crazy craftiness. Oh.
Joe
The Indiana Pacers would reportedly reportedly consider drafting cam boozer number one overall, no. 1 in the NBA that I've consulted. Project any sort of dramatic fall, either Peterson or Boozer when it comes to Boozer. In fact, there are sentiment among some rival teams that the Duke star would be Indiana's preferred.

Even if the Pacers were to come away with the number one overall pick because of the potential fit alongside Pascal Siakam and newly acquired Ibiza Zubot, Joe.
Ocho
Hey, I think he. I think he would fit. I actually think Boozle would fit great with Indiana. I ain't gonna lie to y'. All. I just don't know if they're gonna get the number one pick. But I. I can see him. I can see him playing alongside Zubakdo. Yeah.
Joe
A good stretch.
Ocho
A good stretch.
Joe's Friend
Four. Yeah.
Ocho
You know what I mean? He can shoot the three.
Joe
I just don't post up a little bit. I just, I look, I think he's phenomenal, and there's a great chance he's gonna be player of the year, but I don't know if I can take him over AJ debonza. I just see too much upside, Joe.
Ocho
No, I. I agree.
Joe's Friend
You don't see the upside with Booze It Up. You don't see the upside with Boozle.
Joe
But this kid here different. Yeah, man. Because he gonna have the ball. Six, nine, with the ball.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Shay with the ball. Luca with the ball. Cade with the ball. Ant man with the ball. Yeah, See, it's different. I wanna got the ball, he gonna have the ball.
Ocho
I want to see these guys. Yeah. I want to see these guys get into a situation where they can really flourish, though.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
You know, you know I want. I want them. I want. I want. Because I think these guys could be special. Some of these. Some of this talent coming into the NBA this year, that's going to be in this year's draft. It's a special talent, man. But I don't wanna. I don't want to see him honestly coming off the bench being this spark plug, man. Let them dudes play, man.
Joe
Yeah, I. I just think Utah. Utah. Praying. There are a lot of people praying in Utah right now that they get that number one pick and get the Bonza. Because if you try to get that pick, they taking A.J. deBonso. They're not taking.
Ocho
Oh, no doubt about it.
Joe
Yeah, they're not taking anybody. They're taking A.J. the Bonzo.
Ocho
No doubt about it. No doubt about it. I just feel like they gonna get it, too. What's up?
Joe's Friend
Hey, Joe. Y' all don't. Y' all don't think. Is the bouncer that much better than Peterson?
Ocho
I. I think he's better than two,
Joe
and I think he's. I think at six, nine, he'll bucket. Everybody keep talking about Peters in the bucket. Dubon's a bucket.
Ocho
Yeah. Yeah. And not only that, the Bosca. Aj, he just seems like he loved playing the game. Like he really. He thoroughly enjoys it. And that goes a long way with me, Ocho, you know what I mean? I like gym rats. I'm a gym rat. I like to be in the gym, whether it's by myself, working on my game or. I like guys who like to stay in the gym.
Joe's Friend
Right.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
When you're dealing with that number one pick, Ocho, you know what it is the least amount of red flags. I can't. I can't be worried. I can't, Ocho.
Ocho
Right.
Joe
Because as a general manager of an owner, I'm gonna want to turn my phone off at night. I don't want the coaches to have to tell me that he's not gonna play. He a little nicked. I. I just can't worry about stuff like that. Because in basketball, I mean, even in football now at the quarterback spot, Ocho, you know, in three years, you're gonna have to make a big old contribution. You're gonna have to make a big old financial commitment. In basketball, you're gonna have to make a big old financial commitment. I want to be able to make that commitment with the least amount of worries as I possibly can have.
Joe's Friend
Yeah.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
That's just me. I think the Bonza. I think the Bonzo will be the better player. I think he's the same. Safer. And I hate say because safe like. Oh, you. No, no, no, no. I'm saying he's safe and he's really good.
Joe's Friend
Yeah.
Ocho
Hey. Hey. I'm gonna tell you who probably gonna go high. That ain't nobody really thinking. I think, obviously I think Darius Auff can always improve his draft stock. I think he can creep into like maybe a top 3 pick. Oo I agree with.
Joe's Friend
Yeah.
Joe
But.
Ocho
But Caleb Wilson, who was at University of North Carolina.
Joe
He's 16 now. We're 16.
Ocho
6, 10, 6, 11. Uncle Ocho, he can do everything. Put it on the floor, shoot the three he gonna defend. You know, he keep receipts. Cause he. He told y' all throughout the season he got receipts and he was going at everybody who, you know, played with him. You feel what I'm saying?
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
So I like that about him. He gonna compete. He got a lot of talent, bro. He got a lot of upside. That's why I say if you got a top seven pick in this draft,
Joe
you gonna get a good player or
Ocho
it's the top eight. It's some. There's some talent in this draft, bro.
Joe
But, you know, it's where you go, who you coach. Yes. The. The veteran players in your locker room that help you.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Make a huge difference and not be on some bull J. They envious.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Bucks on a. Wes Edens says Giannis Antetokounmpo will be traded if he doesn't accept an extension. Giannis is going into his last year of his contract, so one or two things will happen. Either he will be extended or he'll be traded. The likelihood that. The likelihood you'll let him just kind of play it out the last year. We can't afford that. Absolutely not Consistent with what they good for the organization. And that's not a Giannis issue. That's any player that's in the last year. People around the league believe the Bucks missed their window to get peak value for Giannis. And NBA exec said he'll still. He's still a game changer, but he's 31 with a history of leg injuries. And now you'd probably basically be traded for a guy on an expiring deal. So I'm not sure the offers they'll get this summer are going to be any better than what they already got.
Ocho
Man, please. It gonna be. It gonna. All it take is one team. It's gonna be a couple teams lined up. Oh, yeah, you can believe that now.
Joe
I'm going to the best. I'm Ocho Joe, I'm getting the best deal for me. Damn. What's the best deal for Giannis?
Ocho
Well. Well, you gotta. You're gonna have to. Your hands are tied because at some point, you gonna have to take, you know, you. You gonna have to take a decent deal. I mean, you. I can't see. I can't see them not, not, not favoring Giannis in this situation. I just think. I know, I know, I know. But I'm saying. What I'm saying is they want to get. They want to get some pieces back that's going to help them in the near future. Right now, I don't know if you're going to get the value of what Giannis brings. I mean, let's just be honest. No, you're going to have to get somebody who going off potential, whether it's one of these young guys or, you know, multiple picks. But I mean, who. I'm telling y' all what's gonna happen. I'm telling y' all where he gonna be when they lose.
Joe
The mere fact that this owner said he either signs the extension or he's getting traded. Joe, when was the last time you heard the owner say that? Me, personally, I don't know if I've ever heard the owner come out and say that.
Ocho
Yeah, I don't either.
Joe
So that lets you know I'm getting max value. He might want to go to Miami. Not as my. Because, you know, Miami don't want to give up the compensation. That's why Kevin Durant's not down there, and that's why some of the other players that's been trade available aren't down there, because they try to keep all their best players and ship scraps off to the opposing team.
Ocho
Right.
Joe
Ain't nobody going for that. This guy, it seems to me. Cause Gianna's been dealing them around and round, and we try to kind of back them into a hole now.
Joe's Friend
Yeah.
Joe
When this thing first came to light two years ago, I got him up out of there.
Ocho
You got him gone.
Joe
Yep. I wasn't winning with him. Well, I wasn't gonna win with Giannis. That was over. They had a very special team. They had Holiday, they had Chris Middleton prior to the injuries. Chris Middleton is not the same guy. He's not even close to the same guy. He's not the All Star that he once was.
Joe's Friend
Yeah, right.
Joe
Once you started getting off those pieces, it was over.
Ocho
Well, the problem you're gonna have, Uncle Ojo, is, okay, let's say. Let's say you do have A team that you want to trade Giannis to, but he's not fond of. They not. You think they gonna trade for Giannis on an expiring contract and they know he gonna leave and we just rent them for a few months. That's what I'm saying. So the Bucks can try to trade him to wherever, but at the same time, he's still gonna have to sign the extension.
Joe
Right.
Ocho
You know what I mean to think.
Joe
See what he wanted. And I can see. Because, you know, Joe, once they trade you, you can't get that extra fifth year.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
About 65. 70.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
So now it goes to a five year, to a four year.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Now it's still good money, don't get me wrong. So I want chat, man. Oh, yeah, but 275 versus 200.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
300 versus 225.
Joe's Friend
Right.
Joe
75 million. That's. That's a big difference.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
7. 7.5 million. They. I don't care nothing about that. Nike gonna make that up to me. I signed a couple of endorsements. 75 is a whole different ball game.
Ocho
Yeah, but did you hear what he said? He said sign the extension. See, the extension may not be.
Joe
Oh, he ain't tr. If you signed the extension. He's not getting traded.
Ocho
You say. Oh, you say he's not getting traded? Yeah, yeah. No, what I'm saying, though, I don't think the extension. Extension is 275 or 300, though.
Joe
What's the extension for Giannis, I think,
Ocho
because he still got what he got on this deal. He still got two years on his deal next year.
Joe
Next year will be his last year. 27.
Ocho
I think they gonna add to that. 27 is what I'm saying. I think they gonna add to that last year.
Joe
Four year. 275.
Ocho
He eligible for four year.
Joe
275. So you add that, too. So you add that. That's a five. 250. 350, Joe. I don't know about you. Five for 350. That's 70 a year, Joe.
Ocho
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe
That. Good money, right?
Ocho
Good money. That's an understatement.
Joe
Okay.
Joe's Friend
I'm just saying before you get into that money on. Huh? Yeah.
Ocho
With all that. That TV money, all that kicking in.
Joe
Yeah.
Joe's Friend
Going up.
Ocho
That's what we're gonna start seeing. Dudes making 70, plus me.
Joe
Oh, seven to 80. So. I just. I. I don't. I don't know where Deacon go. Because when you trade superstars, you're not getting value. You're never Gonna get the value that you get, the player that you're giving up, that you're gonna get back in return. Now they've been.
Joe's Friend
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Joe
Every once in a while you'll get a Shay situation. They've gotten maximum value for Shay, for what they. They gave up Paul George. Yeah.
Joe's Friend
Yeah.
Joe
I think OKC won that one.
Joe's Friend
Yeah. I still don't understand what they were doing there. Boy.
Ocho
Man, they didn't see that. They ain't see he wasn't doing all this. Ocho.
Joe
It didn't matter if they saw it. Kawhi said, if you don't get me Paul George, I'm going to sign with the Lakers. Could you imagine being in that building as a Clipper? You're already. You're already in the basement, right? You got LeBron, you got AD and you got Kawhi, you got the ACCU West. I don't know what the. What all that. The. The stuff that they signed and these other companies had and got him on the payroll and all these apartments and I don't know if any of that is true. I don't care. I just know the Clippers had to acquiesce to everything Kawhi said or they weren't going to get him.
Joe's Friend
Dang.
Joe
Hey, look, so Shay was for. Not you. You can see, but Shay wasn't. Wouldn't be Shay if he's with the Clippers. Because Kawhi is going to get the ball.
Joe's Friend
Yeah.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
That's why they got rid of Chris Paul. He has to be the. He needs the ball.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
So you're like, oh, well, I can't believe the Clippers. You. You weren't. You weren't going to be able to get this out of shape because Kawhi is the headliner. It's like. It's like a comedian coming and like he going after Chappelle. That ain't happening. You going in front of Chappelle.
Joe's Friend
That's a good one. That was. I like that analogy.
Ocho
Yeah. Hey, Kawhi over there getting to it, too. You think he'll make good? He think he gonna make an all NBA team up.
Joe
It's gonna be close. How many games has he missed? Is he. Is he eligible?
Ocho
I don't know. I don't know. See, I know he averaging about 27, 28 a game.
Joe
Yeah. He having a career high as far as points, and they came back at overtime and. And beat the. The Mavericks.
Ocho
I'm talking about. They ain't playing no defense.
Joe's Friend
Yeah.
Ocho
No. Darius Garland got out Hey, I see he didn't fight. He didn't finally came out. 41 and 11. I think they're gonna make a play.
Joe
34. Kawhi had 34. He was 12 or 20. He was 12 or 22. 5 of 9 from the free, 3 point line, 5 or 5 from the free throw line. And then you had Darius Garland had 41. He was 15 or 24. Eight of 12, three or three. Kawhi got one game of wiggle room if he missed one more game, right?
Joe's Friend
It's a rap, huh?
Joe
He can't make it.
Ocho
Oh, he good. He ain't probably got but like 11, 10, 11 games left.
Joe
He got 11 games to play. He could miss one more. Okay. That's why he came back. Remember he had that ankle injury, Joe. Hey, but you know Kawhi, this. This normally a month injury for Kawhi.
Ocho
That boy came back popping that gun. He said, y' all got me, bitch. Yeah, he see what's going on. All these dudes hurt. Ain't gonna be eligible for nothing. Kawhi gonna mess around, be second team all NBA.
Joe
Could be.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Cause it's gonna be. It's gonna be topsy turvy. Who gets the first team? Because you got a lot of willing, a lot of Luca K. Kate is out now. Cage is out of the running.
Ocho
Oh, man.
Joe
Nk gonna be out of the running after he missed these two weeks. Yeah, he got time to play if he got.
Ocho
He couldn't miss no more.
Joe
You got. You got Cave, you got Wimby, you got Jokic, you got Shay, you got Luca, and you got Jalen Brown. That's six guys.
Ocho
Kate ain't gonna be there.
Joe
Cause he gonna miss guys, five slots. How you got Luca? Average a damn near 35 points a game. And his team is number three.
Ocho
He gonna be. He gonna be the. He gonna be first team, huh? Leading the league and scoring. He gonna be first.
Joe's Friend
Yeah, yeah.
Ocho
He gonna be first team this career half of him, man. Like 33. That's a career half of Luca.
Joe
No, he averaged 34. I think he averaged 34 one year.
Ocho
Did he?
Joe's Friend
With.
Joe
He might be. So Dallas.
Ocho
Yeah,
Joe
we got wiggle room. So. So how many games they play? So he's out the next two weeks. He ain't gonna make it.
Ocho
He ain't gonna make it. Who is this?
Joe
Sorry, Cade. Cause he's out two weeks.
Ocho
He can only miss, what, four or five games?
Joe
He can miss eight more games. Eight. How many games they play in the next two weeks?
Joe's Friend
Eight.
Ocho
He better wrap that thing up and get on out there.
Joe
Because Lucas averaging 33. I think Lucas Luca career high is like 33.9, maybe 34. Joe.
Joe's Friend
That joker. But that boy, balling boy.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
I'm talking about Dallas smacking.
Joe
How do you. How do you leave Jokic off? He's leading the league in assist and rebounds. You ain't.
Ocho
He ain't. You ain't gonna leave him off.
Joe
And he got averaging 29 a game. You ain't gonna leave Wimby off. Jalen Brown, he has his team in the number two slot. A large part of this without Jason Tatum. Well, obviously not leaving Shay. Cause his team is the best. They're on 11 game winning streak and they have the best record. So basically it's gonna come down between Cade and Luca.
Ocho
It's gonna be a good one.
Joe
Yeah. So it's gonna be. It's gonna be very, very interesting. But, But I can see KD playing another four or five years though. Oh, he, he, he, he. He doesn't have a weight problem. He can shoot the ball. That's not going anywhere. Yeah, so.
Ocho
And he loves playing the game.
Joe
He loved playing the game. He loves playing the game.
Ocho
That's what makes the biggest difference. Get them gym rats. He a gym rat. He always in the gym, always working on his craft. Always you, you gotta love guys like that, bro.
Joe
Well, that's the only way you can play that long. Yeah, you can't play that long if you ain't no way you could do something for an extended period of time that you don't love. Ocho, you hear people on the regular job, they stay on the job 30 years, 40 years, 50 years. They ain't standing there just cause they get the paycheck. Not on one job.
Joe's Friend
Right.
Joe
You gotta love it.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
To stay somewhere 30, 40, 50 years. Got.
Joe's Friend
You got to. You ain't got no choice, man.
Joe
Please,
Ocho
Man. Hey, hey. Let's get down. Nut. Cutting time now, fella.
Joe
Luca averaging 33.4 points a game. Damn. His career high is 33.9. Since his rookie year, he's never averaged fewer than 27, 27.7. So he went 21.2, 21.2, 28.8, 27.7, 28.4, 34, 32.4, 33.9, 28.1, 25, 33.
Ocho
Hey, they say what they want about old Luca. Luke out. They get it done, boy.
Joe
But see, they do. Let me ask you a question. When James Harden was in Houston putting up all them points with James Harden playing defense. Joe, you play with it don't nobody say anything about with Steph. Steph was winning on mvp. Steph wasn't sitting in the chair guarding nobody I looked at. He's doing a. A lot better job. He's trying. He's not getting beat off the first dribble. Because once you get beat off the first dribble, Joe, you compromise. The entire defense is not compromised because we got the rally. Yeah. To get in front of him, and so we got people got to come kick, drop a dish off lob. Now you're at the team's mercy.
Joe's Friend
Hey, hey, Uncle Joe, he not getting beat off the first dribble, but he getting beat off the second.
Joe
That's okay. That's okay. That's okay.
Ocho
I. I think. I think, people, he got the Olay defense to where, you know, he don't slide them puppies no more than once.
Joe
Yeah, but.
Ocho
But, you know, at. At the same time, I think what's really glaring is that the complaining to the refs. Uncle Ocho.
Joe
Yes. If.
Ocho
If he don't do that, I think he'd be in. In a much better, you know, spot.
Joe
He can't help it, Joe. He can't help it. It's a part of him. It's a part of him. He can't help it.
Joe's Friend
Once you've been doing something that long, it's hard to get from habits.
Joe
Even. Even if he makes the shot, even when he gets foul, he's still at the free throw line complaining. I'm like, bro, you had the free throw line. What more you want? Yeah.
Ocho
Cause it don't help you, bro. The rest remember that they human now.
Joe's Friend
Oh, yeah.
Ocho
They gonna get tight with that whistle,
Joe's Friend
especially depending on what you're saying, too, man.
Ocho
What
Joe
now? He's. Hey, I promise you, he's speaking all Slovenian when he talk. When he talking to the. If we talking reckless, he's speaking Slovenian. He ain't speaking to me English.
Ocho
Hold on, hold on. How did he get detect tonight? I didn't see how he got detect after dude said something to him.
Joe
Yeah, they were. They were drawing back and forth, and
Ocho
he gave both of them a tank,
Joe
told him to cut it out.
Joe's Friend
He kept going.
Joe
But Everybody be wanting MVPs to be David Robinson or Kobe, Elijah One, Jordan, LeBron. Come on, man. Yeah, Jokic. I give prime example. When have anybody ever said, man, Yogic played outstanding defense.
Ocho
Never.
Joe
He got three of them things that finished second a couple times. Ain't nobody. We ain't hearing no when joking to win it all. We talking about the Triple double. Come on, now. Yeah, I, I, look, I ain't saying Luca's ever gonna be. He ain't gonna never, ever be at all defensive player. But I tell you what, you better be able to. You better have somebody that can match his output, right? Cause he gonna get 30 to 40.
Ocho
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe
And you. And, and if he get it going early and you can't turn that faucet off, you're gonna get 50.
Joe's Friend
You're gonna be in hell.
Ocho
Hey, you like, you like this LeBron you've been seeing?
Joe
I do. I mean, I mean, sometimes it's like, damn, bro. I mean, he, He's. He's bought into this role.
Ocho
Yeah, he's bought it.
Joe
He, he jumped on this, this roll feet. And it's not easy because we've seen other great players that couldn't adapt. Yeah, yeah, we saw this with AI. He couldn't. He went to Detroit. He. He needed. He went to Memphis. He couldn't. He couldn't do it. It's hard. Think about how long you've been the guy, Joe. You've been the guy in high school, you've been the guy in college. You've been the guy for 15, 16 years in the NFL. I mean, NBA, right? So you talking about 15 years in the NBA. Three, four years of high school. That's 18, 19 years. And another one, two, three years in college. And now they say, nah, bro. And for LeBron, think about it. LeBron has been the guy all his high school career and basically until last year. So for 21 years, and they say, nah, bro. Now we don't need you to go to two. Yeah. We need you to go to three.
Ocho
Yeah. I just, I think, I think naturally, I think taking up on himself, I think he's really went into this role. I don't think nobody came to him and told him that you're gonna be a third option. I think he's kind of assessed the game and the way these dudes been playing from the start. Cause he missed so many games to start the season. I think he just came in and took that role. Cause he probably like, man, I don't want to mess up the chemistry that's going on, the winning that we're doing. I'm just going to add to it.
Joe's Friend
Yeah.
Ocho
I ain't gonna lie to you. I kind of like, I kind of like this brawn. I do like this Brian, obviously, when he, when he got it going. But just 13 attempts, Uncle Ocho.
Joe
I mean, it's career low.
Joe's Friend
Yeah. I mean, it's Career low. But you gotta understand, because Luka is playing so well because Austin Reeves playing so well, hell, LeBron might even like that. He might like being the third option because he is 41. Because of his age, not having the ball in his hands, knowing when to assert himself in the games and when not to shoot. That. That sounds like a good role to me, especially at that age.
Joe
He definitely can play a couple of more years playing this role, Joe.
Joe's Friend
Yeah,
Joe
he definitely could play a couple more years playing his role. I could really see LeBron playing 25 seasons.
Ocho
Oh, yeah?
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
He had 23 now for sure.
Joe
23.
Ocho
Yeah, I can see it, too.
Joe
Somebody want. And some. And somebody want to break get 45, 000 points.
Ocho
Oh, well, yeah. Cause he. He gonna. He. He finna put. He putting that out of mid. Out your misery. He don't even want y' all coming into the NBA thinking you're gonna catch this here. Yeah, yeah, I agree. How many.
Joe
How many Kevin Durant punts points Gary Red has scored this year? How many total points?
Joe's Friend
Ad.
Ocho
I ain't gonna lie. I kind of wanted to see Braun and Katie or Braun and Steph kind of team up.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
For the latter part of their years. For at least two years.
Joe
So. So there's a chance he might get 2000.
Ocho
Where he at now? How many points he in now?
Joe
He got 1,000. He got 1,723 right now. How many games do they have left?
Ocho
10, 11.
Joe
We got 12 games left. So basically, if he averages. If he average what he's averaging, which is about 26. Right. He had 25.7. So with 12 games to go, that's about 10, 250. So he looking at about 300 points. About 3, 305. So that'll give him 2,000. If LeBron doesn't play another down another game and he plays another five years, he's probably still going to be about a thousand. A thousand points short. So if LeBron plays another year, another two years, Katie's gonna have to play another seven years. Katie's in your what year? 19. Year eight. I mean, he's 19 season, but because he missed a year for that thing, it's only like 18 on his body. So I think KD has the most realistic chance.
Ocho
You think he got a chance to catch him?
Joe
I do.
Joe's Friend
That's gonna be a tall task, huh?
Joe
Oh, it is now, yes. But that's at the current pace. He's got to play the same number of games. He can't. He got to keep this Average up.
Ocho
That's the thing.
Joe
How many games he played this year? 70, 60. No, he played 70. He played all of them. He's played in 67 games. So if he played the last. If he played the last 12, he gonna play at 79.
Ocho
He gonna play the race. Too tight. Can't sit out.
Joe
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He can't afford to lose any games. He can't afford to lose any games. I've been. Thompson saved Kevin Durant. Historic night. Almond Thompson hit the game winning put back for the Rockets. In the same night, KD passed Michael Jordan on the all time scoring list. Rockets beat the Heat 123, 122. After the game, KD with a smile. Four more to go.
Ocho
One more.
Joe
What to go? Who you go past next? Kobe. He got a long time to pass. He needs about 260 games to get to Kareem. 260. That's playing 80 games for the next three years.
Ocho
Who the next person he about to pass?
Joe
Kobe, ain't it? I think Kobe. Yeah. Kobe got probably got like 33,000,
Joe's Friend
boy. Boy shooting that rock, boy.
Ocho
Man, listen, it's.
Joe
It's LeBron, Kareem, Carl Malone, Kobe, Kobe, Joe. Not KD. Yeah, I mean, KD got. KD got 32,000. He's 11,000 behind LeBron.
Ocho
Yeah, he ain't catching. He ain't. They ain't catching, Brian.
Joe's Friend
That's an. That's an amazing feat, boy. Well, well deserved.
Ocho
Now you see, mon, Thompson had 18 rebounds.
Joe
Yeah, that's a lot of damn rebound
Ocho
for a guard, man.
Joe's Friend
Hey, ball bouncing.
Joe
24, 18 and 4.
Joe's Friend
Ball bouncing right to him, huh?
Joe

Joe's Friend

Ocho
Yes, I got to make some real change. It's good that the hero playing well because I got to, I think gonna be a part of.
Joe's Friend
Yeah, long as you know, I remember I told you first, huh?
Ocho
Yeah. Yeah. Y' all gotta get it. Y' all need another game changer over there. Oh, I ain't gonna even say who, but y' all need another game changer.
Joe's Friend
Hey, Joe, I know what you're thinking and I already said it for you.
Ocho

Joe
He ain't got no chance of catching her with all those MVPs, finals. MVPs. Defensive Player of the year. A national champion College player of the year. Yeah, that's over.
Ocho
Yeah. Hey, hey, hey. I can see. I can see in the near future, like in the next some odd months, it's strange. I can see Bam getting engaged. I can see him getting married. I see it.
Joe
I can see it, too.
Ocho
I see it, man.
Joe
They're a great couple, man. Hey, I let. There's nothing. There's nothing not to like about them, right?
Ocho
I agree.
Joe
Ain't nothing to like about him. Bam don't bother nobody. He go out there, play hard. If you follow this story, grew up in North Carolina in a single trailer home. He'll see here and his mom, blah, blah, all that. And in Asia, we know, hey, boom, big man, look here. And she is. I've seen a play, like I said. I mean, watching her play on television don't do her justice. Justice don't do her justice. Cause she plays both ends of the coat.
Joe's Friend
Yeah, she's nice.
Ocho
Well, they gonna. Hey, they gonna have a LeBron.
Joe

Ocho
They gonna have a. Oh, she was
