Key Discussion Points

1. LeBron James’ Legacy and Lakers Era

(Starts around 02:36)

• Detailed discussion contrasting LeBron’s impact on teams before and after his arrival (Cleveland, Miami, Lakers).
  • “Before he arrived at your franchise, you’re winning about 40% of your games. Once he’s there, you win about 62% of your games. So basically that’s a 22% increase.” — Joe (03:55)
• Debate on how narratives differ for LeBron compared to stars like Giannis and Jokic, despite similar achievements.
  • “Only one is deemed unsuccessful. You see how they did that?... If I don’t like you, you can’t do enough good to make me like you.” — Joe (05:22)
• Exploration of fading Lakers dynasties pre-LeBron, and perceptions about how the franchise has treated him—especially compared to Kobe.
  • “I want to give these Lakers fans… this is what the Lakers record was in 2013-14. They were 27-55… people couldn’t wait to see the Lakers in LA winning.” — Joe (06:03)
• Context around aging superstars and shifting opinions.
  • “People make it seem like you can’t change your mind. So once you say something… But after she left behind dry, I changed my mind.” — Joe (08:08)
• Fandom dynamics: Kobe versus LeBron in Laker lore.
  • “Those that are Kobe fans... nothing will unseat how they feel about that man. Even what you reading off the stats, even if you read… the facts.” — Ocho (15:02)
  • “Kobe ain’t getting out of the top three. And that’s okay. It’s okay to say, man, Kobe is great, but LeBron is a bad— It’s almost like if I say LeBron is bad, I’m saying Kobe ain’t no good. See, that’s what the problem is.” — Joe (17:01)
• Emphasis on appreciating both legends without diminishing either.

Notable Quote

• “You can like what you want. But to say I hate LeBron and he ain’t been good for the Lakers, you’re not being just. You’re being disingenuous.” — Joe (17:02)

---

2. Steve Kerr Returns – What’s Next for the Warriors?

(Main discussion from 28:09 – 38:17)

• Steve Kerr’s two-year extension with Golden State (keeping him the NBA’s highest-paid coach).
  • “Kerr has agreed to a two-year contract to return as head coach of the Warriors. The deal keeps Kerr as the highest paid in the NBA annually. He made at least $17.5 million last season.” — Joe (28:09)
• Debates on how long the Steph-Draymond-Kerr era can last and the value Draymond brings outside of the Warriors’ system.
  • “I know he’s a huge part of what they done…But I wonder how the coaches really feel about Draymond, how the front office really feel about him?” — Ice (28:31)
  • “He’s an okay rebounder. He can run your offense, but he don’t have the shooting. He ain’t got Steph, and he doesn’t have Klay. So how valuable is he to another team as he was or is to the Warriors?” — Joe (29:30)
• The Warriors’ aging roster: skepticism about retooling versus rebuilding.
  • “They brought Kurt back, and I’m sure, you know, he got some changes he want to make… But I just don’t see it. I just don’t see Golden State being a serious threat anymore. The way…it’s too deep now.” — Joe (38:17)

Notable Quotes

• “They constructed it like that for a reason… Steph will let them know what he wants to do and they’ll do what they do. But I just don’t see it. I just don’t see Golden State being a serious threat anymore.” — Joe (37:10)
• “That window closed.” — Ocho (38:17)

---

3. LeBron’s Next Move? Golden State Rumors & Beyond

(31:04 onward)

• Quick rumors about LeBron potentially joining the Warriors—panel is skeptical.
  • “Do you see any scenario where LeBron ends up in Golden State next year? Or is that far-fetched?” — Ocho (30:53)
  • “I don’t see it… I don’t know if I can bust my roster up, bring him on at that number… At the end of the day, I’m trying to win a championship.” — Joe (31:06)
• Speculation about “superteam” iterations—LeBron, Giannis, or even returning to Miami or Cleveland.
  • “If Bron just so happened to leave the Lakers, I think he coming somewhere out East. I don’t know where, but I think he’d come somewhere out east…” — Ice (38:59)
  • “Think about LeBron coming back to the Heat with Giannis…” — Ocho (39:20)

Memorable Exchange

• Ocho: “You know, Bron always wanted to play with Curry now, but here’s the thing—”
• Ice: “If Bron leave… I think he coming somewhere out East.” (38:59)

4. Drake Disses LeBron – Fact or Fiction?

(46:05 – 47:29, 59:06)

• Discussion of newly leaked Drake lyrics appearing to diss LeBron.
  • “Ocho appeared to take a shot at LeBron at 1am in Albany. ‘I shouldn’t even have been shocked to see you in that arena because you always made a career off switching up teams.’” — Joe reading lyrics (46:05)
  • “He referenced also LeBron’s number in another line saying, ‘please stop asking what’s going on with 23 and me. I’m a real one and he’s not. It’s in my DNA.’” — Joe (46:27)
• Panel expresses skepticism, wants confirmation when the album drops.
  • “You got to be careful with some of this stuff, especially on the Internet… For me personally, I would wait until that album comes out…” — Ocho (46:43)
• Reflection on LeBron and Drake’s previously close public friendship.
  • “I feel bad because, you know, LeBron was… LeBron and Drake were close… when Drake drops… LeBron would get an opportunity to listen to it first. I don’t, I don’t know…” — Joe (59:06)
  • “Hey, them beefs go far, man. You know, hey, if I’m beefing with somebody and you, and you play a partner with him—I’m gonna look at you side.” — Ice (59:31)

Notable Quote

• “Only one is deemed unsuccessful. You see how they did that?... If I don’t like you, you can’t do enough good to make me like you.” — Joe (05:22, contextually echoed regarding Drake-LeBron narrative)

---

5. NBA Players, Roles, and Legacy Comparisons

(Several exchanges, esp. 19:24–21:42, 41:13–45:56)

• Ocho, Joe, and Ice dive into what it means to take a backseat or adapt roles, drawing parallels to both their football pasts and current NBA players.
  • “At that point in time, Ocho was the best receiver… For him to say, you know what? I slide to number two…” — Joe (21:31)
  • “You gotta understand your role, boy. I’m the alpha, Joe.” — Ocho (41:13)
• Fun debate about if their basketball games would compare to real NBA players ("I'm efficient like Jake ... getting a lot of layup.").

Memorable:

• “Your shooting ability ain’t like that, Ojo. We just got to be 100.” — Ice (42:51)

---

6. Fans, Intros, and Authenticity

(52:49 – end)

• Lighthearted banter about whose show intros are best: off-the-cuff or scripted?
  • “I like mine better when mine was authentic and organic without no script.” — Ocho (54:04)
  • “If you give me a script… he gonna lose regardless, because that’s what I do.” — Ocho (55:12)

[Joe]

The next segment is brought to you by Tommy John where comfort is the new power move and the Lakers pulled a power move on LeBron. On March 31, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers to secure LeBron James his record breaking 1200 and 29th win. It was the same night Luca passed 15000 points. Rui passed 5, 000 points. JJ Redick reached 100 wins according to Dave McMenamin. Lakers GM Rob Pelinka gave the game ball to Reddick over anybody else. And LeBron felt Palinka's priority was yet another example of the Lakers taking him for granted. On other notes, he has had a great relationship with JJ Redick. One thing the Lakers got right, the Lakers approach and how they show interest in retaining him and their plan for any discount will be a factor. LeBron James. Here's LeBron James before Cleveland and with LeBron seven years before he got there, there was 219 and 223. 40% win rate. The seven years with him, they won 63% of their games. LeBron J. Miami before he arrived, there was 149 and 179, a 45% win rate. His four years there, they were 224 and 88, a 72% win rate. Cleveland before, when he returned, they were 97 and 215. They won 31% of their games. In his four years there, they went to four NBA Finals. They won one of those NBA Finals and they were 211 and 117, a 64 win rate. The eight years before LeBron got there, there was 269 and 371. They won 42% of their games. In the eight years with LeBron, there are 357 and 278. That's 56% win rate. So overall, before he arrived at your franchise, you're winning about 40 of your game. Once he's there, you went about 62% of your games. So basically that's a 22 increase. Now this and people like, oh, LeBron ain't do nothing. Eight years in Milwaukee. How many championships does Giannis have, Joe?

[Ice]

One.

[Joe]

How many NBA Finals have he gone to? One. Right.

[Ice]

One.

[Joe]

He's Finals MVP in eight years in Denver. How many championships have Jokic won? Joe?

[Ice]

One.

[Joe]

Interesting. Now one guy, now Giannis is deemed successful. Jokic is being successful. Only one Ocho with the same amount of championships. Yeah, a Finals mvp. Only one is deemed unsuccessful. You see how they did that?

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

You see, if I don't like you, you can't do enough good to make me like you.

[Ocho]

Yes, sir.

[Joe]

Hello.

[Ice]

Hello.

[Joe]

But if I do, you can't do enough wrong to make me dislike you. We see that going around. We don't. We don't get political here, but we see what's going on.

[Ice]

Yeah.

[Joe]

You see what I do?

[Ice]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

I'm with you when you're right.

[Ice]

Hey, hey, hey, hey. You watch a lot of Matlock? Hey, hey, that was my guy. Mat.

[Joe]

Yeah, Ironside. I don't know if y' all remember Raymond Burr. Ironside, he was in a wheelchair.

[Ice]

Yeah, yeah, Matlock. Heat of the night.

[Ocho]

What you know about Heat of the Night?

[Joe]

What?

[Ice]

Come on.

[Ocho]

Grandma used to watch heated the Night.

[Joe]

Why, man?

[Ice]

Come on.

[Joe]

Hey, Joe, let me give you. I want to give these Lakers fans and all these Lakers. Now, this is what the Lakers record was in 2013. 14. They were 27 and 55. They didn't go to the playoffs the next year. There was 21 and 61. They didn't go to the playoffs the next year. They were 17 and 65. They go to the playoffs the year before. And. And in 2016, when LeBron James took off the NBA championship, there was 26 and 56. But, boy, the Lakers were bad. Boy, people couldn't wait to see the Lakers

[Ice]

in LA winning them amount of games.

[Joe]

You do realize in that time frame, they got Brandon Ingram, they got Alonzo Ball, they got Drew Randall. Now, how in the world would you be able to get the number two pick in the draft if you win, if. If you in the playoffs? How is that possible? How you get Lonzo ball if you in the playoffs? Right? Something. My granny used to say it all the time, Ocho, something in the milk ain't clean, but I'll let y' all keep on talking. But I. Hold on. Ain't no way Kobe. The God. Kobe. Go with that. Give me Kobe. Pull up Kobe's last eight years. I want to see how many NBA. How many times. Let's see what he did his last eight. That's all we want. Last eight. We just go. Could you look comparing and contrasting? Because I tweeted something in 2012 that I said, LeBron, that Kobe and Jordan were the greatest players I ever seen. And then somebody. Somebody retweeted it. I said, but, you know, four NBA titles, four Finals mvp, seven all NBA selection. And I said, my mind changed. I thought this was the girl for me. Joe. But after she left behind dry, I changed my mind.

[Ice]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

But people make it seem like you can't have it. You can't change your mind. So once you say something, I'm sure at some point in time, you probably might have thought this football player. I'm sure a lot of people say, well, Joe Montana was the greatest quarterback, or John Elway, or Dan Marino was the greatest quarterback, Peyton Manning. And then here come this kid that went in the sixth round from Michigan. I'm sure at some point in time, somebody said this guy was the best defensive player, whether it was Merlin Olsen, whether it was Deacon Jones, it was Bob Lilly, Randy White, Mean Joe. But then this kid out of North Carolina came along. They had 56 on his back. And I'm sure that the corners, they probably said, well, Dick Knight, Train Lane. Nah, it was the Lester Hayes, Mel Blunt, Ken Riley.

[Ocho]

Ken Riley. What you know about Ken Riley, huh?

[Joe]

It was Kenny. So this, then this little kid, skinny kid from fam. From Fort Miles, Kim Riley.

[Ocho]

Fam. You rattler. You don't know about them rattlers, huh, Man? Hey, you know Ken Riley? A joke. Ken Riley, the only banger in the hall of Fame with Anthony Munoz.

[Ice]

Oh, really?

[Ocho]

Oh, yeah. He don't get enough. He don't get enough credit, man. No credit. Boy, you were good, boy.

[Ice]

I learned something new every day.

[Joe]

Last year, his last year, Kobe retired. At 37 years of age, he averaged 17 points, 3. We'll give him 4 rebounds, 3 assists. 2014 at 36, he was 22. 6 rebounds, 6 assists. In 2013, 14, he was 35. He averaged 14 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists at 2012, 13 at 34, he was 27. 6 and 6 at 2011, 12, he was 33. He averaged 28. 5 and 5 at 2010, 2011, he was 25. 5 and 5. He shot 45 in 2010. He shot 43 in 2011. He shot 46 in 2012. He shot 42 in 2013. 37% in 2014, 36% in 2015. Run me, run me bronze Rummy Braun. Because we, like, do context, Joe. It wouldn't be fair, Ocho. We got to provide context.

[Ocho]

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

[Joe]

Yes, sir.

[Ocho]

Michael, listen, because you can't argue points and facts without context. And most of the time today, especially for you, hunk, you know, you want to be factual, you want to have. You want to have the facts in the stats to support whatever it is you're trying to get across.

[Joe]

Because, see, I think this ain't Michael Beasley. He told us. He said, man, you judging by decisions, but you didn't know the choices that I had. I'm gonna just go provide a little context for you, because I know y' all like context. I got to give you why I said something or why this. Because, you know, y'. All. Y'. All. Y' all told me Kobe was still that apex predator. That's what y' all told me. That's what Laker Nation told me. Yeah, that's what you told me. Oh, we know. Braun numbers don't surprise it. Don't surprise it. Don't spoil the surprise.

[Ice]

Okay.

[Ocho]

Hey, I got a question before you read our Braun numbers. During those times where Kobe's numbers were what they were. Was he injured during that time?

[Joe]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. All I'm saying, the man. 35, 36, 37. My guy, 40. Oh, so you go.

[Ocho]

You're gonna compare. You're gonna compare the numbers based on age at the same time.

[Joe]

Remember, LeBron didn't start the season. LeBron got hurt. Remember you missed the first 15 games.

[Ocho]

Okay.

[CJ Toledano]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Yes, sir. Yeah.

[Ice]

Yeah.

[Joe]

So he did what he did when he got to the Lakers. 27, 8 1/2. 8. Do you realize there have only been four players to average that? The old counting up. I think it was. I think Oscar did it. I think Jordan did it, Russ did it, and Harden did it. But all of those guys did it before they turned 30. He did it at 32, 33. These guys were doing it at 25, 26. So what guys was doing at 25, 26. Go. James was doing it 32, 33. The second year, he was 25, 8 and 10 championship. And then he went 25, 8 and 8, 38 and 6, 29, 8 and 7, 26, 7 and 8. Last year, moving to the second option with Luca there, he gave you a robust 24. What was it? 24, 8 and 7. And then this year. Yeah, he didn't give you number. Little 20. Get a little 24 spot at the second option. DeLuca, he gave you 24, 8 and 8. And then this year at the third option, 21, 6 and 7. Shooting 55. 51. Basically 52 from the floor. Has he ever shot less than 50 when he's with the Lakers? Okay. The year they won the championship. So his second year there, when he averaged 25, 8 and 10, he shot 49.3%. Other than that, Joe, he's never shot less than 50 from the Lakers.

[Ice]

Hey, I don't think people understand how tough that is. To do. Like to. To be that efficient, especially as you get up in age, bro. The man, 41 years old, what he

[Joe]

shot this year, 51, I think 51.5, bro. That's.

[Ice]

That's. I. I guarantee is nobody's ever done that.

[Joe]

Even he can't do enough good. If he walk on water, people say the only reason he walking. Cause he can't swim. If he could swim, he would swim in the water. He wouldn't walk. Cures cancer, they say. What about diabetes? Ocho.

[Ocho]

Yeah, right. You know, the funny thing is about. About this conversation.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Ocho]

And you think about what Kobe means to la.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Ocho]

You think about what Kobe means, the Lakers, what he's done for that franchise, you know, from the time he got there, you know.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Ocho]

To the time. To his un. Untimely demise.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Ocho]

Despite what he looked like towards the end of his career, I don't think there's anybody that can come to the Lakers and unsee what Kobe did. Just. Just. No matter what. Even what you reading off the stats, even if you read. Even what you reading off the facts.

[Ice]

Yes.

[Ocho]

And how great LeBron has been for them, those that are Kobe fans or those that appreciate what Kobe has done for them, nothing. Nothing will unseat how they feel about that man. So when the conversation comes, nobody tried to. I understand.

[Joe]

That'll be the equivalent of all of a sudden, Chase. Chase gonna have better numbers than you. But that don't take away from what you did. Nor is Chase trying to erase what you did. See what people see. Here's the problem that you're running into Ocho and. And Joe, correct me if I'm wrong when you step in at any point.

[Ice]

All right.

[Joe]

Because. Because it was Kobe and LeBron for the longest period of time.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

I can't get past that. You trying to come make us forget about Kobe. You trying to erase Kobe's legacy. Although Kobe legacy is. Is. Is enriched in Mount Rush. Rushmore cemented.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

But people can't see. I can't.

[Ocho]

I can't.

[Joe]

Look. Kobe is Kobe. Hey, no matter how you slice it, Kobe is a top three Laker all time. No matter how you slice. Some people say Kobe, some people say Magic, some people might slot Kareem, but however you slice it, he ain't getting out of the top three. Right? Right. There have been some other greats. You got Elgin Baylor, you got Wilt Chamberlain, you got Jerry west, you got James Worthy, you got Mike, and you got LeBron. Kobe ain't getting out of the top three. And that's okay. It's okay to say, man, Kobe is great, but LeBron is a bad. It's almost like if I say LeBron is bad, I'm saying Kobe ain't no good.

[Ice]

Right?

[Ocho]

Right.

[Joe]

See, that's what the problem is. Ocho. It's like if I say. If I say man to was a bad boy. What about Ocho? Ocho was great, too. I'm talking about Tio, right? If I say. If I say Jerry's good. Oh, you don't like Moss, man. Hey, man, you know what I love? You know what I love in the morning on my cereal show? Bananas. Why you don't put blueberries on them? Damn. I don't dislike blueberries. I'm saying. I'm highlighting. I like bananas. You can light what you want. Yeah, but to say I hate LeBron and he ain't been good for the Lakers, you. You're not being just. You're being disingenuous.

[Ocho]

Okay, I got you.

[Ice]

Thanks. Facts. I. I think. And when you think about it, the fact that Kobe. That was the only team that Kobe ever played for was the Lakers. You know what I mean? He won, what, five titles? And, you know, yeah, they.

[Joe]

They.

[Ice]

They have had a disdain for LeBron

[Joe]

over the years here.

[Ice]

When he won the Laker. When you won the Laker and you come playing against Kobe and y' all a mono Ao. Yeah, they had a. And the fact that he's probably moved around to a few different. Different franchises and left his stain, you know, I mean, they embraced him, don't get me wrong. But. But, yeah, they.

[Joe]

They would never put him over Kobe, nor should they. And he didn't go there to try to be. He wanted to go. Because think about it. We just read off what they were before he got there, right? They was winning 17 games. Ocho, 27 games. You was damn near getting a lot. You was damn near getting the number one overall pick. It's okay. I like Kobe. I love Kobe, too.

[Ice]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Kobe and Bron were my two favorite players. Kobe was my favorite player before LeBron. Burns is from D.C. prince, George County. He knew about Kevin Durant. I ain't know nothing about Kevin Durant. He said, let me. Hey, Sean, let me tell you what I do. I. I'll. I'll give you LeBron if you let me get Kevin Durant. Cause it was my turn to take the next great player coming out of college. So it was my turn to get kd. He wanted KD because KD was from his neck of the woods. I already Had Kobe. I said, hold on. You gonna give me LeBron? And I still got Kobe for Kevin Durant. Oh, yeah. I jumped on that with both feet. I jumped on Ojo Joe. I jumped on that with both feet.

[Ice]

Yeah.

[Joe]

I got one in the east, one in the west, and all you want is Kevin Durant, man, please. Yeah, got it. You remember they was thought they was going to the finals, and. And LeBron averaged 38, 8 and 8, and Orlando put them out. You remember they had the Muppet Series with Kobe and LeBron? I got it. Yeah. Now, y' all know how long ago that's been? That's been, what, 2018. I still got a T shirt 16 years later with LeBron and Kobe, the puppets on it. Y' all remember the commercial used to have on and Kobe be going crazy. LeBron said, Come on, Kobe, man, stop.

[Ice]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to like them.

[Joe]

You can. You could. Look, I can love a player, but I ain't gonna hate, man, look what I look like. Hate what Ocho look like hating somebody. Ocho, prime example. You could have. I mean, I think it helped because you and to was best friends before he ever arrived in Cincinnati. Yeah, but if somebody came and they trying to help you win a championship, man, I don't know why the fans, they're gonna say, man, I don't know why he came here. We got Ocho. Ocho, our guy. Ocho can still be y' all guy, but I'm trying to help Ocho. Ocho want me to come help him get a championship.

[Ice]

Hey, yeah.

[Ocho]

Hey, hey, Joe. While I stood on that table, while I was in Mike Brown office, I told Marvin, man, go get 81. I don't care what you got to do. I don't care what. Man, go get 81, boy. Boy, I'm so bad. That was such a joy. I was like a little kid in the candy store, Joe, just knowing my dog was coming to play with me. I'm getting ready to be able to play with one of the best in the world, boy. Joe, I'm talking about top three all time, Joe.

[Joe]

We on the same team. Yeah.

[Ocho]

Oh, hell, Joe. I told him, you get that, boy. I ain't got no problem being Robin the Batman. Oh, I'm taking a backseat, Joe. Absolutely.

[Joe]

Think about that. Think about that. What Ocho had done for that organization. At that point in time, Ocho was the best receiver. I. I joke with him and, you know, talk about downtown Freddie Brown, or I talk about I Curtis.

[Ice]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Green A.J. green, you had slim pickings. I was in the era with slim pickings. I was like. But Ocho oo was the best. And for him to say, you know what? I slide to number two.

[Ice]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Quick.

[Joe]

After six pro bowls in a ten year span, all pro, the leading receiver.

[Ice]

It ain't many guys.

[Ocho]

Hey, Joe, I. I understood what was coming. Joe. I understood what was coming into that building. Why? You hear me?

[Ice]

Yeah, yeah. Hey, hey. Was it more of. Obviously he was your partner, but did you look at it like, damn, I know he gonna take a lot of pressure.

[Ocho]

No, no, no, no. Because I didn't see it as pressure. I was gonna get mine regardless. I understood with that dynamic how he could come help us and elevate us offensively. I understood what he could do in the slot on the outside. And then, not only that, they were always playing designed for me. And Joe, when I played, I didn't need a whole bunch of volume catches. All I needed was four or five catches a game. Joe, I'm getting off.

[Ice]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

I wasn't doing all these little bubble screens and, you know, slant routes. Joe, I'm running, I'm running routes. I need about.

[Joe]

I need about two balls.

[Ocho]

I'm over a hundred.

[Ice]

Hey, hey. But nowadays you'll be running that little bubble screen now, will you please.

[Joe]

You don't want that bubble screen.

[Ocho]

Hey, Joe. That makes that. Hey, Joe.

[Joe]

Oh, y' all want to get down the field?

[Ocho]

Hey, you heard? You heard. Hey, Joe. And okay, lying Joe.

[Joe]

That.

[Ocho]

That makes me uncomfortable.

[CJ Toledano]

Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luka and Austin Reed and finding way

[Isaiah Thomas]

win no matter what.

[CJ Toledano]

He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before and he knows without Luka and Austin Reaves, I gotta manipulate the game.

[Isaiah Thomas]

We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.

[CJ Toledano]

I think Joker's gonna be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reed, he has to guard Julius Randle, and then he has to give us everything. He gives us on a night to night basis on offense.

[Isaiah Thomas]

And when it's friends stop by like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too.

[Joe]

Steve Nash would get that thing, that man, hell get the flying he running

[Ice]

up the court, licking his fingers while

[Tab Ramos]

You're gonna look at stats and numbers. He has no shot at making this World cup team.

[Ocho]

Yeah, I need to know.

[Joe]

I need to be running round when they run.

[Ocho]

You heard me?

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Ice]

Hey, hey. When they run that bubble, you gotta have some wiggle.

[Ocho]

I got wiggle jokes. But I don't want the wiggle where everybody's in front of me. I want to know where everybody gonna be at while I'm running. You get what I'm saying?

[Joe]

That side impact is that collision. Because you gotta realize, I catch this, I'm coming inside. Here come DT Here come in here come live middle backer.

[Ocho]

I don't want none of that, Joe. And you know what? And I. And I could be. I could be honest, Joe.

[Joe]

That.

[Ocho]

That's not my strength with. With the ball in my hands. That ain't my goddamn strength. I can't do what Chase do. He bouncing off tackles, bounce off linebacker.

[Ice]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ocho]

That ain't me.

[Joe]

I want to catch the ball, beat the corner. I run to safety, man. I got deep tackle, the dn. The middle backer, the safety corner. Oh, no.

[Ocho]

I don't want no part a Joe. I don't want no part of that.

[Joe]

Kerr has agreed to a two year contract to return his head coach of the Warriors. The deal keeps Kerr as the highest paid in the NBA annually. He made at least 17 and a half million the last season. Joe, does Kerr coming back to the warriors at least two more seasons? Does that keep the band together? Does that keep Kerr, Steph and Draymond together for at least two more years?

[Ice]

Man, I don't know, fellas. I don't really know how they really feel about Draymond. If y' all just want me to be 100%. I know he's a huge part of what they done. The emotional leader that we always talk about. But I Wonder how the coaches really feel about Draymond, how the front office really feel about him? You know what I mean? Yeah.

[Joe]

The question is. The better question is that how do other teams feel? Do they feel he will be as valuable to their team as he was to the Warriors? Because I don't see. I mean, I ain't really heard people call him like, hey, man, y' all trying to get up off Draymond, because we love to have it. Do you see calls like that happening? I don't. Now, I'm not saying that he's. I'm saying he's great there for them in that system, but to take him somewhere else and ask him, what are you going to ask him to do? He's not a scorer. He. He still can do. He still can defend.

[Ice]

He's.

[Joe]

He's an okay rebounder. He can run your offense, but he don't have the shoe. He ain't got Steph, and he doesn't have Clay. So how valuable is he to another team as he was or is to the.

[Ice]

The Warriors? I don't know. Cause ain't nobody got no damn Steph Curry. And I just think that the chemistry that Draymond and Steph has, you know, nobody in the league has that, bro. And so, no, I mean, it's hard for me to see him playing somewhere else, Uncle Ocho, considering everything that he's done in Golden State. But, hell, they got rid of Klay. I just think the one person who they ain't gonna ever get rid of is Stephen Kirk. I don't think they ever gonna get rid of him.

[Ocho]

Steph gonna get frustrated. He gonna get frustrated. Cause if you look at it the way the team is built, the way the team is constructed, they're not constructed to win. So Steph out there just doing, you know, stat padding, you know, you don't have a chance of winning another ring. I know. You already got, what, four? We got four rings already, huh?

[Ice]

I think.

[Joe]

Correct.

[Ice]

I think they do got to make some changes, though. Okay, Ocho? I mean, I don't know what changes they can really make or if they can even go out and get any big time free agents, but, I mean, hell, you was fighting to get in the play in. Ain't no way. You mean to tell me you bringing Steve Kerr back and y' all coming back with this same team?

[Joe]

No, no, I don't see that.

[Ocho]

I don't have a chance.

[Joe]

You're in the play in, and you've been in the play in the last three years.

[Ocho]

Hey, what, Little Drake? What if Draymond does come back? Obviously, I think LeBron is gone. Do you see any scenario where LeBron ends up in Golden State next year? Or is that far fetched?

[Ice]

I don't see it.

[Joe]

Look, look, the, the, the warriors wanted Draymond. I just don't know if I'm. Excuse me. The warriors wanted LeBron, but I don't know if that's something that he was actively searching for. The question is. Look, I, I don't. At the end of the day, what does LeBron want? I don't know how many 50 million, 60 million dollar contracts gonna be out there? Joe, I just. Be honest, not for. I understand he's a draw, but I don't know if I can. If I can bust my roster up, bring him on at that number. And it. Because I'm trying to win a chat. At the end of the day, I'm trying to win a championship. That's what he wants.

[Ocho]

Hold on. You're trying to win a championship, but, you know, closer to the championship with the roster you got now, and there's really nobody you can bring in that can get you closer to that championship?

[Joe]

Are you talking about in the Lakers?

[Ocho]

I'm talking about over there in, in. In the Bay, in Golden State. Yeah.

[Joe]

No, I just don't see it. I mean, you got Al Horford over there, who's, who's serviceable, but Al gotta be. Al got to be pushing for the joke.

[Ice]

About 40.

[Joe]

About 40.

[Ice]

Probably about five years younger than me.

[Joe]

So Al's 40. I mean, Steph's gonna be what, 38, 38, 39.

[Ice]

They're gonna be an old ass team.

[Joe]

Boy. Yeah,

[Ocho]

Joe, you at Joe.

[Joe]

At some point in time. Joe and Ocho, man, look, that's what the Rockets. Oh, you had Scotty Pippen, you had Elijah one, you had. I don't know if Clyde was still there. I think Clyde might have played one, I'm not sure. And Barkley, they were way, way past their prime. Yeah, I mean, what do I hope that LeBron will be 42. Al Horford's 40 staff would be 38. Draymond will be what, 36? 37. I just don't know what, what we expect to do. Do what with that?

[Ice]

Yeah. Ojo be 45 in June. Late June.

[Ocho]

Hey, okay, Joe. Okay. 45. Okay, okay, okay.

[Ice]

You know what I mean?

[Ocho]

Okay. I mean, now you, you ain't getting up there because. Listen, I'm 58, Joe. I still look like I'm 23. So you doing Are you doing something right?

[Ice]

You know, spring chicken. No more, Joe. I used. I used to be good.

[Joe]

I used to be real good.

[Ocho]

Hey, I'm glad you know, you ain't no spring chicken. What? Huh? I'm gonna show you. You ain't either. Yeah?

[Joe]

Yeah. Draymond just turned 36. Did he turn. He turned 36 in March.

[Ice]

Yeah. It's gonna be interesting.

[Joe]

What?

[Ice]

What the Golden State, what the warriors are going to do. I mean, they just. They brought Kurt back, and I'm sure, you know, he got some changes he want to make.

[Joe]

Steph is 38. He gonna be 39. He gonna be 39 next year.

[Ocho]

Hey, he's special. He's special, though. He don't really count.

[Ice]

Well, he missed a lot of time this year, too, though.

[Ocho]

Yeah, he would hurt. What was wrong with him? Joey hurt his knee.

[Ice]

Yeah, he hurt his knee.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Ah, shit.

[Joe]

And guess what? Injury start coming with greater regularity.

[Ocho]

Hey, Steph, if you need a nutritionist, holla at your boy. I get you, right?

[Joe]

Al Horford is 39. Aiden Boyd, as a matter of fact, he'll be 40 his birthday in June.

[Ocho]

Adam. Boys. Oh, boy.

[Joe]

I don't really know how far a 42 year old, a 40 year old, a 38. A 38 year old, I. 39, 30. I don't know how far they gonna take you, Joe.

[Ice]

I don't either.

[Joe]

I just don't.

[Ocho]

Hey, hey, they might be being slick, man, you know, when them lottery balls come up, Joe.

[Ice]

Yeah, what you saying?

[Ocho]

I can see. I can see it play out. Let me see out the blue. You know, you got all these old, old players, right? But you know what?

[Joe]

Hell, Steph just turned 30.

[Ocho]

Hey, we know something. Under the table, we gonna slide your new two year, right? And we gonna make sure you get this lottery pick.

[Joe]

Hey, all I know is you fool around like David Stern. Hey, I asked the Timberwolves about trying to do contracts under the table. What does it do to you?

[Ice]

Set your ass way back, voided the

[Joe]

contract, took the next three. Took the next three that you couldn't have a first round pick and blew it up.

[Ocho]

Hey, I'm. Listen, I'm just throwing. I'm just throwing scenarios out there that could be possible.

[Joe]

Oh, yeah, it's, you know, I mean, listen, it's possible. You got a team and then you got Jimmy. I mean, Jimmy Butler still there, but Jimmy Butler's coming off an ACL injury.

[Ice]

Yeah, that's gonna be tough, bro. They had a nice squad this year.

[Ocho]

Now, see, if it happened, they don't don't remember who said it first. What's that? Didn't boy get an early pick? Early that. That lottery pick for some reason that. That little ping pong ball say warriors out the blue.

[Ice]

I don't know about that, Ocho.

[Ocho]

I feel you.

[Joe]

I still don't know how much that's gonna help a mocho.

[Ocho]

They just need some young big.

[Ice]

They do need a big. And they. The bigs don't come now. They don't come from around the corner like they used to back in the day. It's hard to find a big now boy.

[Ocho]

Hey. Hey. Well, young bull from Purdue went

[Joe]

who Zach eating?

[Ocho]

Yeah. Where he went?

[Joe]

Memphis.

[Ocho]

Okay. He played

[Ice]

with John. They would get money over there.

[Ocho]

Okay.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Trying to think about Biggs.

[Joe]

Yeah. Then they're big. So we'll. We'll see if they can. You know, they want to keep this thing together. I guess it's like because how many. I wonder how many years Steph got on his contract because that'd be. That's gonna be. That's gonna be very, very interesting.

[Ice]

I agree.

[Joe]

He unrestricted free engine in 27. So he got this year one year 62 million. No, hold on. He's on the contract with Golden State through 2627. He signed a one year extension in August of 24. So he said the earns. Yeah. So we got two years left. You got two years. So it could. There you go. It coincides with what The Steve Kerr contracts coincide with what? Steph Curry contract expiring. Draymond has this year on his contract a player option for 26, 27. Yeah, they probably so if that. That's. They constructed it like that for a reason. Yep. I think they're like, okay, Steph will let them know what he wants to do and they'll do what they do. But I just don't see it. I. I just don't see Golden State being a serious threat anymore. The way it's too deep now. Hey.

[Ocho]

That window closed.

[Joe]

Minnesota, the spurs, the Nuggets. I just don't see it. I just don't.

[Ocho]

That window closed.

[Ice]

That's why I think Curry. Curry gonna have to team up with somebody on.

[Ocho]

I just took told you.

[Joe]

Oh, somebody gonna have to come here. I don't think he wants to go anywhere, Joe. I don't.

[Ice]

Yeah, I probably. I wouldn't want to leave neither, but I just can't. I don't see LeBron going to Golden State if I.

[Joe]

If.

[Ocho]

You know, Braun always wanted to play with Curry now, but here's the thing.

[Ice]

If Brian leave. If Braun just so happened to lead the Lakers, I think he coming somewhere out East. I don't know where, but I think he'd come somewhere out east so he can get the hell out of that Western Conference. That damn juggernaut out there.

[Ocho]

Well, what you think about LeBron coming down here with.

[Joe]

Put him on Detroit?

[Ice]

What you mean now? Yeah, what you mean?

[Ocho]

What did my a. What you think about LeBron coming back? Think about LeBron coming back to. To the Heat with Yanis.

[Ice]

You can't rule out now he might go back home. Let's say Cleveland don't get up out of here.

[Joe]

So what you gonna put. You go. You gonna replace Harden with him.

[Ice]

You gonna. You're gonna put. They gonna.

[Ocho]

You know, he ain't got to have the ball in his hand.

[Ice]

Now, now, now, you know some numbers,

[Joe]

but I think you want the ball in his hand, huh? In that situation, because you want Donovan. You don't want. You know, Donovan like, hey, Donovan, do your thing. Off the ball.

[Ice]

I'm just saying, man.

[Ocho]

Make that thing work, man. Set the pic for me, Joe.

[Ice]

Nah, hell no. You setting the pick for me.

[Ocho]

Shit, the devil is a lie, boy. You crazy as hell.

[Ice]

No shooting ass. You gotta set the pic, bro.

[Ocho]

Joe, man, set the pick for me, man. Matter of fact, you know what, Joe? Get your ass out the way. ISO, ISO, ISO, ISO, ISO. Clear that. Hey, hey, Unc, clear that. Clear it out.

[Ice]

Clear it out. This is why you can't have nobody like this on your team. Cause, see, he don't wanna play his role. You know what I'm saying?

[Ocho]

Hey, hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. I know. Sit your ass. Get your ass out my way.

[Ice]

That ain't your role. On our team, if we all on teams. That is not your role.

[Ocho]

Hold on, Joe. Joe, chill. Chill, Chill, Joe, chill. Hey, hey, Joe. If I was a basketball player. Yeah. You hear me? You got. You got to know. You got to understand your role, boy. I'm the alpha, Joe. I'm the alpha. I'm running the ship. I'm steering this. Now, when I pass it to you, you can do your thing. When I go on the bench, your

[Ice]

role is to hustle and play damn defense. That's your damn role. I need you to be a star in that role, okay?

[Ocho]

Right, Right. Hey, hey, Joe, let me tell you something.

[Joe]

I need you to be a superstar role player.

[Ocho]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. See, I don't. I. I don't think Joe understand who I am. Huh, Joe? I put butts in the seat. I could fill a stadium out by myself, Joe. So I definitely ain't playing no guy. I'm gonna play defense, right? I'm gonna sit in the chair, Joe. I'm a sliding puppy, Joe.

[Ice]

I'm a slide.

[Joe]

You hear me?

[Ocho]

I'm a slide, Em, right? But also people coming to see me for what I do on the offensive end, Joe.

[Ice]

Hey, hey, I'll make sure I throw you a live. I'll make sure you get a highlight or two.

[Joe]

But, you know, you gonna be a

[Ice]

defender, a pick and roll guy. You're gonna be the screener, you know what I mean?

[Ocho]

Nah.

[Ice]

You gonna be doing all this, Joe,

[Ocho]

if you playing with me, you gonna be deandre Aiden. Huh? You gonna be.

[Ice]

Oh, I already know. I can't even play on the team with dude. I already know that.

[Ocho]

Hey, Joe, I'm. Hey, hey, Joe, you got, you got to think. You got to take the comparison to me in, in football and transition that in. In the basketball.

[Ice]

Transition like that, bro.

[Ocho]

Oh, it's. It's going to for me. It's going. It's going to for me, Joe. The people coming to see me, man, what you talking about?

[Ice]

Your shooting ability ain't like that, Ojo. We just got to be 100.

[Ocho]

But you gotta understand, let's just say this was my sport, if it was my sport, therefore everything you just mentioned will be up to par based on who I am.

[Ice]

Okay, so if we were playing football, who would I be in football then?

[Ocho]

If it was football, you'd be like, damn, what's a good comparison for Joe as a basketball player but in football, huh?

[Joe]

He gonna be Mike Evans.

[Ice]

Yeah, I like that.

[Ocho]

Oh, Mr. Consistency. Mr. Consistency. I like that.

[Ice]

Nice.

[Ocho]

I like that.

[Ice]

[Joe]

Ocho. You was that football. That'll be.

[Ocho]

No, but I'm just saying, I'm just. I'm just saying, if we talking basketball, think about me playing basketball from 4 years old all the way up.

[Joe]

Yes, but you didn't. So we talking about now, and you talk about this man that played the sport. You talking about, he gonna be deandre Ayton and you gonna be the guy that.

[Ocho]

[Joe]

There is no. Ain't nobody making a whole lot of money. That's really good. Ain't made nobody. Everybody serious about this.

[Ocho]

It gotta be one NBA player. That's really, really good, but made it fun. No,

[Ice]

I can see you. Yeah, I can see you being like Jed Vanderbilt. Like, I can see you being like a. Like a Vanderbilt dude. Play for the Lakers. I can see you.

[Joe]

Because he.

[Ice]

He everywhere, Ocho. I mean, everywhere. Hell of an energy. You know what I mean? Got a nice look, but they don't

[Robert Smigel]

Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy not quite on Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week. My guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel help an acapella band with their between songs banter.

[Isaiah Thomas]

Where does your group perform?

What's up, fam?

[CJ Toledano]

It's Isaiah Thomas, and I'm C.J.

[Isaiah Thomas]

toledano. And our podcast Point Game is about

[CJ Toledano]

defying the odds like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luka and Austin Reed

[Isaiah Thomas]

and finding ways to win no matter what.

[CJ Toledano]

He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before, and he knows without Luca and Austin Reaves, I gotta manipulate the game.

[Isaiah Thomas]

We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.

[CJ Toledano]

I think Joker's gonna be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reed, he has to guard Julius Randle, and then he has to give us everything. He gives us on a night to night basis on offense.

[Isaiah Thomas]

And when it's friends stop by like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too.

[Joe]

Steve Nash would get that thing, that man, hell get the flying he running

[Ice]

up the court, licking his fingers while

[Joe]

he got the ball.

[Ice]

Like you go through a training camp with that.

[Joe]

Isaiah, you figure it out real quick.

[Ice]

Oh yeah. Get your ass up and down the

[Joe]

court and you gonna get the ball.
