Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Get up here. Can I finish?
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. Okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Doing so good.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, sir.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Doing good. Really good. Ocho was on time. I said, ocho, we really need to go no more than five minutes after the Super Bowl. Okay, I got you. I got you. I got you. I'm gonna watch the game for my hotel room. Oh, yeah. Hey, Ocho go ahead. Ocho gonna do this thing. Lo and behold, Ocho, tell the people why you were late today.
Shannon Sharpe
Tonight, so check me out, right? Check me out, huh? People, people, listen to me. Real quick now. This wasn't my fault. This wasn't my fault. Like, see now how far was it?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You late. It was Ocho. Was Ocho late or was it the default late?
Shannon Sharpe
All right, you know, it was Ocho. It was Ocho that was late, right? But there's a reason. There's a reason behind that. Listen to me, Stay with me. Real quick now, okay? I went, I went on a bland date tonight, right? I went to a restaurant very early on. The reservation was for 8:00. The reservation was at 8:00. You hear me?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
I went to a restaurant in Wynwood called Sparrow. It was called Sparrow. Very, very nice place. And they had live music and I had no idea what the individual who I was going to dinner with, I had no idea what she looked like. So it was a blind date. Come to find out, I was hoping she looked exactly like her pictures. You know how you see people on the Internet? You see them on Instagram and they use all kind of Facetune and all this other stuff, so you never know. So, boom, I walk in, Boom. She's already sitting down. I sit down, I order my food. They give me a latte. They got live music playing. We having a good time. We exchange in pleasantries, you know, great conversation. I'm getting the visual and whatnot. So, boom, the game start. So I, I told her, listen, listen, miss, I got nightcap tonight, so I need to be able to watch the game. You know, the, the, the, the Thunder and the goddamn Wolves. I need to watch the game. But I can still talk to you as I'm watching the game. So I get up, I say, listen, I ate, we ordered our food. I ate my food. I go outside to get, to go to my car. It's 10:00. I only need, I only need 20 minutes to get home. So I'm like, I'm gonna be on time. I go outside. Huh? They done towed my truck, dude. Would you believe me?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Who was they?
Shannon Sharpe
Alpine Towing.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, so who said, were you parked in a no parking zone?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I was on. Listen, listen, hold on. Wait, wait a minute. Let me tell you why. Now, at Sparrow, they had valet in the front. I pulled up the valet and asked valet, how much was it for valet parking? He said, a hundred dollars. I'm like, oh, buddy, hell no. So I just went one block further and just pull off to the side.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Let me ask you a question. How much did it cost? Think about it. The tow. How much did it cost to get your car back?
Shannon Sharpe
But I didn't even get my car back. That's the problem.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I guarantee it's gonna cost you more than $100.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, when I go get it tomorrow. Let me finish. Let me finish my story, though. Let me show you. So, listen, so I take. I catch an Uber to the tow place. I catch Uber to the tow place. I told him, like, sir, I'm in a rush. It's about 10:35 now. It's 10:35. Sorry, I'm in a rush. Nightcap tonight. I gotta do a show. Can I please pay real quick? Here's my license. So he run my license and said, listen, Ocho, we know who you are, but your truck is already in the system, and we can't give you your truck because you owe money for parking tickets. The tolls. Know the tolls. And. Yeah, I know. Yeah. So I. I got Sun Pass. I just been running through it, and I didn't even realize I done ran out of money on my Sun Pass.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, I say, listen, sir, if I can't get my car, can I please get the keys to my house inside the car? And I'm an Uber bag. I'm Uber home. And so I Ubered home and boom, I got here at 11:15.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Now, see, what about that. What about that responsibility you teaching that you teach the people about financial responsibility? Was that financial responsible, letting your past, your easy pass run out?
Shannon Sharpe
Well, you know what? I ain't know that. Huh? I ain't know because you know. You know what the problem is, is I've been on the road for the.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You the problem.
Shannon Sharpe
Me?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yes. Well, I'm. It's your easy pass.
Shannon Sharpe
I have. I had a lapse in judgment and not understanding how much I had on there. So I had. I had been running the toll all this time, and they realized I accumulated so much, so many tickets, well, they won't even get in my car, the pound. So I gotta. In the morning, I'm gonna wake up in the morning, I'm go to the courthouse, I'm gonna pay the tickets and take the slip showing the. Showing the tow yard that had paid it and I could give him a truck. So I had to Uber here. So I ain't even got no car right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Now think about what you just said. You wouldn't pay a hundred dollars. Now you're about to have to pay thousands. Now ask yourself again, was that smart?
Shannon Sharpe
Wait, wait, wait. The toll is only. Only a dollar. Now you're gonna have to pay?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No.
Shannon Sharpe
Thousand, you mean a little bit.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
How many? I guarantee you, first of all, if you over that much and they pound and pound your car, right, you're in the system, you more than a hundred dollars over.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, okay, okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Now the tow truck, you're gonna have to pay them for towing your truck. Again, I ask you humbly, was the hundred dollars you. That you refused to pay, was it worth the amount of inconvenience and the money you're gonna have to pay?
Shannon Sharpe
No, it wasn't. You thought, hey, can I ask you a favor? You can throw me a little something.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I'm out of favors.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, do you. Do you. You got. You understand my issue tonight though, right?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't. Because it's an issue you created by not being responsible with your easy pass, by trying to be cheap. At some point in time, it's okay to not be cheap. Be cheap as what my grandpa used to say, boy, be as cheap as you want to, but don't be cheap to yourself. Of all the people you could be cheap to, why would you be cheap to yourself?
Shannon Sharpe
I like that. I ain't never heard it like that before. I ain't never heard it put like that before. That's a good one. Matter of fact, you know what? The rest of the year, I'm not going to be cheap to myself.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, considering the way you was dressed last Thursday night, you haven't been cheap yet. What you mean the rest of the year? Hell, you started off the year not being cheap.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah, because I told you 2025 is my year. This is my year. Where the cup run is over.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It's already running over. Damn, you got more in the cup. How big the cup?
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, hey, the cut. The cup being, Bro. The cup being. Hey, the year just starting. I'm just getting started, but I'm feeling good tonight. We could be on here tonight. Tonight. We could talk for four hours. We could talk.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, we already. We could. We could talk 3 hours and 45 minutes because you missed the 15 minutes that we would have been talking. No, we would. We would. We actually could have.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, I ain't even got no car right now. You. You should at least feel bad for me a little bit. I'm not. I'm not talking about. I'm not talking about the big boys. I know. I wasn't driving the big boys and I'm talking about my everyday. I have nothing. I have nothing to use. I had the Uber here.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Don't feel sorry for a person, for a problem they created. Let that. See, don't let that go over your head. That's for you. You can write it down if you want to. I can't feel bad for a person about a problem they created. You created this, boy.
Shannon Sharpe
One thing about you, boy. You gonna give me something to write down, boy. You hear me?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
This bad here. I can't believe this bad. Talking about, you know, I'll be going through the easy path, Ocho, you know, if you go through one, you gotta go through another to come back through. So even if it's only a dollar, that's two dollars. That's if you just do it once.
Shannon Sharpe
And this is what you not understand. I hadn't realized I had ran out of money. So I'm just going. I'm working, I'm flying, I'm flying and I'm flying out. I'm getting my car. I'm going, and I don't go nowhere. You know, it ain't like I'm just driving all over the place. This is accumulation of six months of work. Six months of flying in and flying out, going to the airport, going home. It's not like I'm going out nowhere. It just. All this time, it is built up and I didn't even realize it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
So it's an honest mistake, you know? Honest mistake.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It was honest they took. It's like, I wonder where that truck is.
Shannon Sharpe
Ah, Eric.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ta da.
Shannon Sharpe
Right? And see, you know what? That's what I get anyway. Ain't no reason I should have been on no blind date tonight. So this is. This is what I. I deserve this. I deserve this. This is good for me because I ain't gonna be free Valentine's tomorrow.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And guess what? I know what you call him. That tow truck driver wasn't blind. He saw that caught. They call you illegally parked. Mm. That's me. Easy, easy. Pick up. Now his girl gonna get a nice Valentine's Day gift with your money that you gave it, Right?
Shannon Sharpe
I think they gonna show me love tomorrow, though, because they knew who I was.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's okay. Will you show up that credit card to that money to get that car? Part of it. They're gonna show you love. Damn. Money is love. You didn't know that?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, it is. It is. It is.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
This man here.
Homes.com Representative
Lord have mercy.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Chat. I'm sorry.
Shannon Sharpe
I feel good. Let's talk about this goddamn Thunders.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
This.
Shannon Sharpe
This Thunderstunder T. Wolves game, though, because.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Defeated the thunder 116, one on one. Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
I watched. I watched the game at dinner on the phone.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
T. Woods defeated the Thunder 116, 101. Naz Reed, 27 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists for the short handed Wolf. That was playing without Rudy Gobert. They was also paired without Julius Randle and Mike Conley. Anthony Edwards chipped in with 23 points. Shay Gilgis had 24. I think it's his first game in about 20 that he's had under 25 points. But he ended the night with 24 points, nine assists, eight rebounds. But the Thunder was two. He was two or 13 in the second half. The Minnesota got going early when Ant man dunked on Chad Helmgren. You like? Oh, my goodness. They had what, three players in double figures. Shannon came off the bench, gave him some, I thought Luke Garza, he gave him 15 quality minutes. He was only four or seven, but he had eight points, eight rebounds. He was hustle active, very, very active. But the T Wolves, they got after it tonight and they won this game. Ant man was 3 or 12 from the 3, 10 points. But it was Naz Reed inserted into the starting lineup because Julius Randall and Rudy Gobert was out and he was sensational. The reigning Sixth man of the Year gave you 27, 13 and 8. 27, 13 and 7. But it was a very good game. The Thunder going to the break, losing. But I think they're what, 42 and 10 now 42 and 10 boys good. Now 44 and 10. My bad. 44 and 10. Nothing to hang the head about.
Shannon Sharpe
Nothing to hang their head about at all. But I think, I think it's more of a curse of teams that are really good going into the break, not playing to their full potential, knowing that they're going to the break. Listen, the way the OKC is built, this game shouldn't. Honestly, they should have won this game. They should win this game. Chet coming back. Chet Holmgren was. He's hurt, right? He's coming off. He's coming off injuries.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Coming off injury. Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
First game back, trying to get his leg underneath him. Trying to get himself back in the rhythm and get himself going. There's no reason this game should have been the way it was. Hey, Shy. I mean, I'm going to make sure I say his name right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Shay J.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. I'm talking about Shy. Hey, remember the group Shine?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I do, yeah. That's if I ever fall in love again.
Shannon Sharpe
What you know about that, man?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I just told you. I know about it.
Shannon Sharpe
They got it going in the second half, but it was rough for him in the beginning. Huh? It was rough for him in the beginning. A player like that, a player Like Shay, I think about him. Am I allowed to call him Barry Kobeish or am am I tripping? That same, that same, that same killer instinct, that same mentality. Or am I wrong? If I'm wrong, Tim, if I'm wrong.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. His game, I mean he has a great mid range game. I mean Kobe had a nice mid range game. Uh, Kobe, I mean, I don't see, I don't see him as the finisher that Kobe is. He can get to the. He can get to the basket, but he's not, he's not as explosive as Kobe. He's more. He's more of a slippery, slithery guy. Kobe first stepped like boom. Shay plays, he plays with great pace. He has great start stop ability. You don't realize it, but he, I mean he can elevate, but you don't realize it that you can't speed him up. And that's what the really good. You look at Luka, you can't speed Luka up. Luka gonna play on his time. Jokic gonna play on his time. Shay plays at his pace. But to see the maturation and how this young man, his game has blossomed. Ocho. From where he started, from when they.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Hey man, you know what? And I wouldn't. Like you said, this is nothing to hang your head about about losing tonight. Obviously you're 44 and 10. And I guarantee you it has something to do with the break. Even though the player probably wouldn't it that we didn't play to our full potential because we know the break is coming. And listen, we. We just trying to get up out of here. We just trying to get up out of here.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They got off on them. They jumped on them early though. Ojo. See that's the thing. They didn't. And okay, see they was down by 26, 27. They cut it all the way down to like five or six. Yeah. In the second half. But then took off the Thunder, the. The Wolves, the t. Wolves stepped on the gas and for all intents and purposes it was. It was over after that point. But they got really battle scoring. They had what, the five? They had six guys in double figures. Thunderdead, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, what you call them, had five guys in double figures. But the Timberwolves played really well. They played really well tonight. Neither team shot the ball particularly well. Both teams were around 44, 42% shooting. Both teams were under 27% from the three point line. Both teams, one team went to the foul line 22 times. The other team went to the foul line 24 times, but it was a. It was a pretty. It was a really good game. The Thunder are really, really good. That young team, they go really big. They start basically three guards and two bigs. Chet at the five, Hardenstein at the four, and Blue Door Shade and Jalen Williams, basically. So they go a three. Two. Three guards and two and two and two bigs. Very few people play like that currently.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You know, every once in a while you have a center, but normally he's a stretch. You look at Porzingis in Boston, he's really a stretch. 5. Anthony Davis, when he was at the Lakers, he's really a stretch. Most people play like that occasionally. You got a guy like Joker, that's a typical big man, but he can. Most of the bigs can shoot the three ball. Jokic, Embiid, Ad, Brzingas, they can shoot the three. And so that's what makes these guys so. The space in which they play with. But the Thunder, when it's all said and done, I believe they're gonna be there. I believe they're gonna be there. They got a young team. They're really athletic. They're really good. They just didn't shoot the ball well tonight. And they ran into a team that. That. That played well, that jumped on them early. And it happens. I mean, you're not gonna be up every night.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But it just goes to show you just how impressive what Golden State did. Golden State lost nine games for an entire season.
Shannon Sharpe
Seven, three. Nine season.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The Bulls lost 10 games. Let that sink in. Now, in order for them to replicate that, OKC would have to go. That's 54 games. They would need to go 28. No.
Shannon Sharpe
Or. Listen, hold on. As good as OKC? As good as Okie Casey is playing right now, Right?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Who do you see challenging them in.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The west or overall? Boston can challenge them. Cleveland can challenge. Because Cleveland plays just like they play. They go two bigs. Jared Allen, Evan Mobley. Right. So. And then they go Mitchell and Garland. I forget the other. The other starter. But yeah, they get. They get. And you know what? Boston. Boston, jb, JT Holiday, Derrick White. They got guys that could defend on the perimeter. They got a guy that could protect the paint, their second unit, if they're ready. They don't have to get ready because they stay ready. They go housing. They go Peyton Pritchard. Yeah. They got some teams that can challenge them out there now in the West. The Nuggets.
Shannon Sharpe
The Nuggets, Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Houston, they lost tonight and sometimes it's here to mess with the Rockets, but they're a young team.
Shannon Sharpe
You don't think they too young. They.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, and what you call them. Cleveland just made a trade with the hawks. They got DeAndre Hunter, who was averaging about 20 points right backup. So now they got depth, huh? Yeah, they go that, that's gonna be, that's gonna be a. That's gonna be a really good. That's gonna be a really good matchup. But I'm not concerned about okc. Minnesota needed this game more than OKC did, but Timberwolves feel good going to the break with a victory and thunder. Like, hey, we got two guys going to the All Star. Everybody else, I mean, you probably off until what, Tuesday, Wednesday of next week. So get you some rest guys and let's go.

Ocho yeah, Paul George is receiving injections just to play. That's something players do come come off playoff time. Not necessarily in the regular season. Paul George is averaging 10 points, three rebounds and three assists per game in February. Is it time to sit PG and let him get healthy?
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, listen, based on the numbers he's had since the season has started, it's been bad. It's not what we're used to seeing from Paul George. Obviously you know something is wrong based on the type of production that Paul George has been able to have as far as output is concerned, how efficient he's been over time when he's played well, something is wrong with him. You know, something's wrote him when he, when he's scoring. What he had 10.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, he's averaging 10 points, three rebounds and three assists in the month of February.
Shannon Sharpe
You know that's not normal. Everybody know that's not normal. So something, something has to be wrong with him. But I'm curious as if he's hurt. Why is he still playing? Why? Why is he still playing?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Because he making 50 million a year.
Shannon Sharpe
So you, you based, based on the contract, based on how much he's Making he rather play and hurt the team and his numbers instead of just say, you know what? Right now I'm not healthy. I need to sit down. Despite what I'm making, you act like that's new.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
How many times you see players do that? They go out there. NFL players.
Shannon Sharpe
In football, yes. Not basketball. Normally, basketball players, when they hurt, they out. They taking their. Oh, excuse me. I'm almost cursed. They taking themselves out.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
What happened is Ocho is that he's with a new team. And when you go to a new team, you want to put your best foot forward.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, Absolutely.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You want the fans, you want the teammates, and so you probably do things. Now, maybe if he was at the Clippers, he probably wouldn't do this. Maybe if he was at Indiana, he probably wouldn't do this. But he's in a new environment and things are not going. Remember, Joel is just not really coming back. Paul George has been in and out. He's been nicked. I think he had a surgery this offseason also, so he's been dealing with some stuff of his own. And. But Sean is right. This is not something that. No, not. Look, if it's playoff time, yeah, but I ain't taking no damn injections just to practice. I mean, just to. Well, I did, but it's different with an NBA player because they playing two, three times a week. I was just shooting my leg. I was just shooting up to play in the game. Ah, so, you know, that's a part of it, Ocho. I understood. And the doctors. Mr. Sharp, you know, long term, I say I ain't worried about long term. Don't worry about that. Yeah, my grandma. My grandma need to eat. Kids need to. Need a roof and need to be able to go to school. So I worry about all that long term stuff down the road.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, sir.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right now. Now, stop talking. You're talking me to death. Shoot this ankle up so I can go out there and play. Oh, man. Yeah, shoot this Laker up so I can go out there and play. But it's tough. It's tough, Ocho, because what exactly is his injury?
Shannon Sharpe
Do you know? Is it. Is it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't. But, you know, a lot of. I don't know if it's bone on bone. I didn't know if he, you know, it's meniscus. I mean, because I'm thinking, Ocho, if he. It's got to be something knee related, right? It's gotta be.
Shannon Sharpe
Damn, man. And listen, if your knee. If your knees. If your knees are no good. Or your knees are hurting you, it affects you.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You're basketball, you duck everybody. That's with anything. Because you play. You play sports, but waist down.
Shannon Sharpe
Waist down.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to say. I mean, they do have the sports in the Olympic. When you see guys with wheelchairs and stuff like that, but that's not a perfect. That's not professional. NBA, NFL, you can't do it. And when the knee. You can't turn on the. You can't turn. Baseball, basketball, you can't run up and down and jump up and down the court. Football, you can't stop, start. You can't drop your hips. It is hard to play with anything injured. Waist down.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, that's it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And, you know, it's tough, man. It's tough. It's really tough. And, you know, Paul George was a very good player, but.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, hold on now, listen. You heard your word play. You said Paul George was a very good player. He still is.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He ain't a good player this year, Ocho.
Shannon Sharpe
He's not. He's not healthy right now, you know.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay, so Paul George is good.
Shannon Sharpe
Listen, He's a good player that is injured right now, and because of the injury, it's hampered his play.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's what I said he was. But so when he gets back.
Shannon Sharpe
You make it sound like he just like he's out in the pastures and.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He'S done a man making $50 million a year, averaging, giving you 10, 3 and 3. Can I interest you in that?
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, hey, Uncle. Hey, Uncle. You mean as hell, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hold on. He ash. Said he hyperextended his knee in the preseason. That's what he's been dealing with, but now he's out because of a pinky.
Shannon Sharpe
A what?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Pinky. I guess it's got to be on the shooting hand.
Shannon Sharpe
His pinky toe. His pinky toe. No, pinky finger.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Pinky finger.
Shannon Sharpe
Wait, the pinky finger. It really ain't. No, if you're a real shooter, the pinky ain't really in the.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, it is.
Shannon Sharpe
Listen, I'm. Listen, I'm a shooter. Now. Where your basketball at? Get your basketball.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
If y'all can see this right here, anybody. Dane, Steph. If y'all think y'all can take this LV basketball off, come get yourself some. Come get yourself some. Ocho, look.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, okay, okay, okay. I see. I see. I see. I see you, right?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
How you think. How you think somebody. How somebody gonna shoot like that?
Shannon Sharpe
I see you, man, but listen, you know, the ball. The ball leaves the index finger. You Know that, right?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yes. But look at this, Ocho.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, okay, okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And how you dribble. You ever see somebody dribble? How many. How many four finger NBA players you ever seen? If it ain't. If it's not that important, right?
Shannon Sharpe
You're right. Right. It's important. So listen, I like. I like what you're saying. You see what you're saying? So his pinky's messed up, his knee is messed up. So even though he's making 50 million a year, there's a reason he's scoring 10 points a game. So he give him a little bit more grace if.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Guess what, Ocho, you think they still putting that money? That the brick deposit? You think it's still hitting?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay. All I'm saying. Hey, whoever. Hey, Steph Dane, y'all want this Louis Vuitton basketball cup? Get yourself something. One shot from the three.
Shannon Sharpe
Why you call out Kyrie.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Kyrie, get it? Whoever wanted.
Shannon Sharpe
You ain't. Yeah, you ain't no true Hooper, huh?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
If you want some, come get some. You know what I'm saying, Ocho? AOB Basketball. That's right. Louis Vuitton made a basketball. There it is right there. Whoever wants some, come get it.
Shannon Sharpe
How much that was, man?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Sit on your seat. You see.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm just asking. I've got.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
If. If you gotta ask is too much. Oh, Shane used to let that thing go.
Shannon Sharpe
No, you know, you didn't. No. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. No, you didn't.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson

Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, but you. But I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you some articles where they had. I had 31 and 19, drop 52.
Shannon Sharpe
Come on, man, you got. Listen, you got. You got memorabilia from 20 years ago, but you ain't got nothing proving you scored 30. 30 and 19.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, but Ocho, you gotta. Ocho, I ain't got. I mean, I ain't keep the. I got some articles. I do got some articles, though, but they are at my grandma house. I'll get them. I'm gonna get them.
Shannon Sharpe
Boy, you ain't scored over 10 points, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's a lot.
Shannon Sharpe
I guarantee, when y'all played five on five, I bet you got picked last.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I get. I. I tell you what. Go to Glenville right now, ask anybody. I was always the first pick when they had pickup. I ain't never. If I'm on the court and we lost, which wasn't often, I guarantee you. Age. I'm running. I'm running. Next.
Shannon Sharpe
I need to see the footage. That's all I asked for.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I'mma show you.
Shannon Sharpe
30 and 19.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I had who we played. We played Southeast Bullock. I dropped 31 and 19 on them. Dropped 52 on somebody. 37. 36. Yeah, for sure.
Shannon Sharpe
52.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Drop 52. School record and got the most record on the JV game. Dropped 39 on them in JV. Got that record, too. Got it.
Shannon Sharpe
You just made. You make enough stuff. You making up numbers right now. And if you are putting up these kind of numbers, that lets me know the competition, where you was at and where you live.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
See what you did? That's what I do.
Shannon Sharpe
It was trash.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I made the competition seem like it was no competition. You feel what I did? That's what I just did. There it is right there. Intramural at Savannah State. I got the intramural record. Most points in the game, 48. 48.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm not buying that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Most points in the championship game. 42. High scoring average. But check my resume.
Shannon Sharpe
And you. You playing against. You. You playing against people in the town of 300.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's why. No, no, ain't no, ain't no. Hey, ain't no. The coach didn' I averaged one point a game. That wasn't none of that shit. Nah, nah. No, Shannon. Shannon Shaw could really play basketball. For real, though, I was a legit Hooper.
Shannon Sharpe
Show me the footage. Either the footage on VHS or show me the paper clippings.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ocho, if I told you I was better in track and field and basketball, I mean, track and field and basketball, than I was football. But I played. You thought I was lying. You thought I was lying. Go back and look at what that. 1985. Area players. Area players. Me and Purvis Ellison on the same team. Stop playing with me. Oh, you don't ever heard of Purvis Ellison. Y'all ever heard of him? Nah. Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't know him. Hey, listen.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, no, no, no, no.
Shannon Sharpe
They heard. They heard amido down here.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You ain't played no basketball.
Shannon Sharpe
I did. I did play basketball at Beach High. I just told you. Not too long ago on a few shows ago when I scored 30 a game, and you talking about no, now all of a sudden you scored 32? Come on, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, I dropped 52 of the game.
Shannon Sharpe
No, you didn't.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And, okay, I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna get. I'm gonna get. I'm gonna get. I'm gonna get. I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna show you.
Shannon Sharpe
Please. Please do.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I'll show you. Then what y'all gonna do? Oh, he ain't playing against nobody.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, obviously, if you put up those kind of numbers in high school, you couldn't have been playing against nobody. I don't even think Kobe put up them type of numbers in high school.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They said that when I played at Savannah State, you put up them numbers, you ain't played nobody.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, I need to see.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I put up those same numbers in the NFL. That's how I got one of these.
Shannon Sharpe
I. I like that. That look good. I got one, too.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Look at that. Parting everything. Got the scar, part of my chin, vein outside coming on the side of my head. Got the waves.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, hold on. I got. I got. I got me and bus, too, but is that the big house?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Purvis Ellam played at Louisville. Purvis Ellison went to Savannah High, Savannah, Georgia, which is the Coastal Empire, which was the region that we were in. Now, we were in different classification. He was quad A, I was single A. But when it came to area players, they picked the top five area players. Ta da.
Shannon Sharpe
You know what? It must not have been too many players. Ta da.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I know a guy. I played. I was on the team with a guy that was the number one overall draft pick in the NBA, and he won a national championship as a true freshman, and he was the most outstanding player in that tournament. Purvis Ellison. Louisville, 1986. They beat Duke. Go look it up.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Stop playing me on, Choke. I've been here.
Shannon Sharpe
I just needed. You can say anything you say. Anything I say. I have footage and proof to go with it. I have footage and proof to go in. Anything I say, Always.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ocho, I'll tell you something you've never heard. Any player that says Shannon Sharp's a lie, be it be college, be it be high school, be it The NFL Tell me the time when I tell stories on here. You ain't never heard no playstyle lying? It didn't happen like that.
Shannon Sharpe
Whoa, whoa, hold on. Well, when I tell my story, you never heard anybody come and say I'm lying either?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, she. We know you lie because they're coming out your mouth. Your lips moving. Oh, no. Anytime. Your lips moving. You lying.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, listen, I told you and that go for everybody in the chat. I will laugh for you before I lie to you. So anything I tell you is based on life. True life experience. I've been through everything. I've been through all this. I've done it all. I've lived. I lived a hundred lives, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I'm telling you, I don't know what y'all. I don't know. All I know was I'm the only man in Glenville High School history to win MVP in three sports and senior athlete. That's all I know. All that other stuff could be speculation, innuendo and conjecture, but I'm the only one in the 50 plus year history of that high school. It's no longer high school. I won MVP in all three sports and I was senior athlete.
Shannon Sharpe
You know that. You know, that lets me know, huh?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
If you were there, I'd have still been it.
Shannon Sharpe
No, absolutely. That lets me know. The level of competition that you were having to play against and play with wasn't what it should be. It wasn't up to par. Now, listen. Now, if you were down here in Miami where everybody is elite and you were able to do that, then we can talk.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Somebody, somebody wants somebody won Miami State player of the year. Why not me?
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. All right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
All I know is my senior year in college, I was state player of the year over the guys that played at Georgia, played at Georgia Tech, played at Georgia Southern. If you played football in the state of Georgia. My senior year in college, I was state player of the year.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Eric Zire, Garrison Hurst. What's the receiver name that you had a receiver?
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, Garrison Hearst. Hey. He was good.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Y'all better stop. Hey, I can't tell y'all no more. I ain't saying nothing else.
Shannon Sharpe
Listen, I got footage. I got my footage on vhs. Anything I say, I can pull out footage. I can go into the archives, huh?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay. Why do you think I would lie about something like that?
Shannon Sharpe
I'm not saying you lie. I just want to see proof. I can show you proof. All my stuff is at the Big house. I can pull it out, put it on VHS and show it to you on the TV screen. Anything I say, I can show you me hooping, driving 32.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, Joe, you got to realize it wasn't 20 something a game back then. People didn't record games. This in the 80s, people didn't record games like they do when you came along. That was 10, 12 years later.
Shannon Sharpe
Bad. My bad. Oh, so. So I have to, I have to rely on what you telling me as the show?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, but I'm gonna get you the articles. I'm gonna get you the articles.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, okay, Okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I ain't gonna lie for you, Eagles. Milton Williams, who had an outstanding game, I think he had two sacks in that game, didn't he had two sacks.
Shannon Sharpe
In the Super Bowl. Bill was balling, boy. That's 93, right? 93, yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yes. Yeah, he nice speaking at his locker, says he wants to return, but obviously I want a raise.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, he gonna get that. Listen, if it's not, if it's not for the Eagles, how Howie and Howie, they know what they doing, right? They know what they doing. But what he did do, based on his performance and that goddamn game against the Chiefs, he done got himself paid.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, he did that through the regular season, huh? You look at him against what? You look at him against the Lion, I mean the Rams. You look at him. Oh, oh, he gonna make some money.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh yeah, you got. Yeah. And listen, that wasn't that one, one trick pony. He was doing that all year long. Just the fact that he was able to show up in the, in the biggest game of his year makes it even that much more better. It makes that more appealing and appeasing to other teams. You know, I know he would like to return, but I'm just saying, you know, it's bigger money out there.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Go and get that paper now, bro.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Come on now.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You got you a ring now.
Shannon Sharpe
Got you a ring.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. You can't eat them rings, you can't sleep on them, you can't send your cut skill. Now if you get hard up, I mean, you could possibly sell them. I just read the story today. Unfortunately, Legarit Blunt is selling his game worn jersey, his super bowl ring. I don't know what, why, but maybe, hey, maybe they're not as important to him anymore. Maybe he feels somebody else will get better use or service out of it than he does. But at this point in time, what Milton Williams has done, he's earned a pay raise. And I don't believe he's going to be able to get it because you got to sign a Braun. You met a Linebacker that.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Josh Wet is up.
Shannon Sharpe
You know what's funny? Who does. How do. That's why I don't want to be a gm. How do you decide what's important? How do you decide who to keep. When everybody plays so well, especially in that Pacific game. Williams played well. Sweat played well. I forgot Young Bull name on the side. He's a little undersized like. Like Von Miller, Nolan Smith Jr. And he played well.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, like, you do realize you got Jalen Carter coming down the pipeline.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah, but that's.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He's gonna need a big contract.
Shannon Sharpe
That's two more years, though. He still got. That's okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay. Think about what it's gonna take to sign him in two years. You see what Chris. You see what Chris Jones making 32 million.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That was a year ago. What you think this kid gonna make in two years? He can't be. No, he can't be more than 23.
Shannon Sharpe
They're gonna have to see him.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, exactly, exactly, exactly. You got Mitchell, you got Dijon, or you got Braun. There's only so much money you can spend.
Shannon Sharpe
You know what's funny? And it's a good thing the Eagles in a great situation, huh? They are in a phenomenal situation where nobody is really to really break the bank like that. So they gonna be together, this whole core gonna be together the next two or three years and they could, you know, they. They got a chance to do. To have a dynasty too, now. You know that, right?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
For sure.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, my goodness.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Stay healthy.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Like I said, they got the offensive line. They got sold up.
Shannon Sharpe
Yep.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But yeah, I agree with a will. Hey, go get that money, boy. Trevor. Travis Hunter will attend the combine as a corner Ocho. Are you surprised?
Shannon Sharpe
No, not at all. Not at all. Listen, I am surprised a little bit because I said it and I've said it all the time, especially during season. I would love to see Travis Hunter on the offensive side of the ball and then play a few packages on defense.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It's easier the other way.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I know. I'm just saying, from a financial standpoint, when it's time to get paid, who makes more money, huh? The receivers of the DBs receivers, for sure. Okay. That's the only reason. But listen, I like that he's going in as a db. It's going to be nice. I'm excited to see him, especially in the drill, especially in the drills. To see his transition, how smooth he is, him getting in and out of breaks, ball skills, stuff like that. I think he's Going to do very, very, very well. And I'm saying when it's time to run the 40, I wouldn't be surprised if you run 4, 2.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't see him at that fast. I think high four. I think high four threes, low four fours.
Shannon Sharpe
Listen, don't be surprised. Don't be surprised.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He too long of a strider to run like that. I think Ocho, you think he got that kind of speed in it. They got those kind of wheels.
Shannon Sharpe
When you. You specifically train. When you specifically train for your time and you owe. And you do speed training.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yep, you're right.
Shannon Sharpe
Don't be surprised if he clock four, two. High four, two, four, two, eight, four, two, nine. I think he. I. I think he gonna eclipse it. I'm telling you.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But talking to everybody.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, sir.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They's like, play in that corner and have some packages. What we were saying, everybody was jumping on us. Why he can't play every snap on offense and defense? Because he can't. Possible. Because he can't. And y'all just want to argue the fact with people that have played the game, that have studied the game. I ain't talking about. No, we're not no casuals. We know what it takes to play at an elite level. Deion, y'all should. Oh, he better. What? Y'all do realize that Deion played baseball? Do you know how hard it is to hit a baseball? And I ain't talking about no. Deion was just no guy.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, he was the guy.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Go back into it in the World Series. Check his batting average. Yeah, he didn't play every single snap of offensive defense. You're talking about one of the greatest athletes to have ever played. He played two sports. Professionals. We see a lot of guys play two sports. College, collegiately. We've seen a lot of guys play a bunch of sports in high school, but how many guys you see play two sports professionally and be great? I've only seen two. Him and both. Now, Brian Jordan played baseball and football, but he gave up football to play baseball. Great decision. Cause they make way more money and the money guaranteed. But y'all argue me up and down. Oh, you a hater. You a hater. What? No hate. I'm just giving you factual information.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I think he's better suited at the cornerback. And then they put packages in because of his athleticism, format, receiver. But y'all just. A lot of times I just come to realize, Ocho, sometimes people just want to argue. To argue. Right?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. I mean. And that's the joy that's the joy of this platform in general. Listen, difference in opinion. You state your piece, they state their piece, and we can agree to disagree.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, I mean, as great as Michael Jordan was, and he was historically transcendent, he was mythical in basketball, that baseball wasn't his thing.
Shannon Sharpe
He loved it, though. He gave it a shot.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Deon, could I. No, no, no. Time could really play. Bo Jackson went to the All Star Game. Bo Jackson won an MVP in the All Star Game. Bo could really play. Time could really play. And that's all we were saying, based on the knowledge of the game, he's not going to be able to play a hundred snaps in the NFL. He can't.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, hold on. I got a question. I just thought about something. You know, the chat let you slide with it. I'm not going to let you slide with it. Are you saying Michael Jordan wasn't good at baseball?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He wasn't. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. Oh, we. We looked it up. Georgia boys. Can we put that on the thing? Georgia high school. Most points in a game, in one game. I want you to. Hey, Ocho. I mean, Jordan. Can you pull this? I'm gonna turn this thing around because I want y'all. Can you. Can you focus in on that now? 0 in as much as you can, Jordan.
Shannon Sharpe
I can't see. I can't see nothing. You sure?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, no, no, no. Jordan gonna get that thing in the focus for you.
Shannon Sharpe
I just see a white screen.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Can you make it bigger? Jordan. Go, Jordan. Go ahead. Yeah, Jordan gonna make something big for y'all. Because the only thing I don't like is being called a lot. It called me a lot of things.
Shannon Sharpe
I never said the L word. I never said no.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I ain't talking about you.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh. I'm talking about the chat.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, there it is. There it is. There's a guy's name right there.
Shannon Sharpe
Whose name is that? That's. It looked like your name. It looked like your name all the way at the bottom, too.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
All it says is 52. That's Georgia, the most points scored in a single game. When it's 52 points, what do y'all see?
Shannon Sharpe
Hold on. It say 52. Are you sure? Do it say.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't know. What? Oh, I can't read. My glasses. I took my glasses off. I can't read.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, does it say 52 points? Does it say 52 minutes? Which one?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, what did I say? Hey, Chad.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, Chad.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson

Don't do me like this chat. Y'all just call me a lie. Now, I want y'all to see what that says. Glenville High School, 1985. Now, I know a guy named Shannon Sharp went to Glenville High School that graduated in 1986. I wonder if that's me. Chad, where are the caps? I don't see no caps. Hold on. I know y'all keyboard is not broken. Where are the blue caps? Hey, y'all better stop playing with me. I told I bit him.
Shannon Sharpe

Chad Ochocinco Johnson

Shannon Sharpe
Is that chat GPT or does somebody just make.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Don't do that. O. Had I known, I might have stayed in the game and got me 60. Cause what got me going, there's a dude from Luda whisi that has 62. We called him B. I forget his name. He. He went to what's his name? That. Oh, his school so little today. Daddy put him in there. But Damn, somebody scored 30, scored a 85. Tag miner got 73.
Shannon Sharpe
Damn. 73. See, man, listen, man, all these point, all these points, these people scoring, that lets me know the level of competition. It wasn't what it should be because ain't nobody, should nobody be scoring 73 points in anything.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Will scored 100 in the NBA game.
Shannon Sharpe
Show me the footage. No footage of it. Has anybody in the chat seen footage of Wilt scoring 100 points? It's like a folktale, Ocho. Like a folktale.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They say, Ocho, the games wasn't even televised. You do realize even in the 80s, they tape delayed the finals. The NBA finals. You couldn't watch it live. They tape delayed it. So imagine an NFL game, Ocho. The Super Bowl. You couldn't watch it live. It was tape delayed. You watched it the next day, right? Oh, y'all see that? Oh, y'all see that?
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, now I can see. I can see it. Good.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Now you feel good?
Shannon Sharpe
Shannon Sharp, Glenville High School, 52 point. Well, wait a minute. A whole bunch of people had 52.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You talking about the state of Georgia, Ocho? How long they been playing basketball? Damn.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, yeah. Hey, nah, nah. Hey, y'all.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They.
Shannon Sharpe
They. You know what? Yeah. Basketball ain't y'all sport, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
That's too. That's. That's too much.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Now. They bad now. Y'all bad. Not a league now. The league was a wheelchair league. Now it was this. Y'all keep coming up with something. It might have was all I know. Proofs in the pudding now. Proof of the pudding.
Shannon Sharpe
What kind of league?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They said it was wheelchair. Trying to discredit O'Shea. They can't do it though. And we won the game. How y'all feel about that? Chat?
Shannon Sharpe
Hell, no.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, before I was uncle. I was there. You know what I'm saying? Don't joke. Before I was young, I was there.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, hey, Chad. I don't know where y'all went to high school chat, but if you look at the history of people that played basketball for your high school, depending on where you're from, everybody's scoring 52 and 60 and 73 points. Something ain't right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ocho. Do I understand how long that's for the whole state? Do you know how long they've been playing basketball? That's not in one season.
Shannon Sharpe
No, I'm a very long time. But listen, in Miami, the level of competition has always been elite. It's always been high. So you're not going to have players.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Out of Florida is not known for no basketball player. Stop it.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, let's go. New York.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay. Yes. Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who was formerly Lou Alcindor. You got the great. You got the great Dr. J. Julius Irving. You got Connie Hawkins. Yes. You got those guys. Kenny the Jeff Smith. Yes. You got legends. Stephon Marbury. Yes. Sebastian Taylor. Yes.

Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ocho apparently the Steelers inquired about trading for Trevor Lawrence. Pretty wild given that Justin Fields has been constantly posting photos of himself in a Steelers uniform on his Instagram throughout the week. Fields is hoping to be resigned by the Steelers. Oo Trevor Lawrence to the Steelers.
Shannon Sharpe
You know what I mean? So Trevor Lawrence to the Steelers, right? Where is Jacksonville picking in the draft again?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They high up. Jacksonville got to be like what top five? Top six? They picking five.
Shannon Sharpe
Five? Whoa, that make no sense because the two, the two top quarterbacks, they're going to be gone before five. I know that much. The two top quarterbacks, Shador and Cam Ward are going to be gone before five unless they sneak up and grab one.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But how about this here? I trade you five. I trade you my pick. I swap positions with you. I give you my first round pick Pick. I give. Look, guess what? Okay, we're gonna trade you. I give you Jacksonville gonna pick five. Steelers want to come up to five, so I gotta trade places. I get next year's one, next year's two, and the next year and the following year. So I get 26 1, I'll get 26 2, and I'll get 27 3.
Shannon Sharpe
And so Trevor Lawrence to the Steelers in.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
And you think that's the answer?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I think the Steelers believe that's the. I think for the Steelers, you have quarterback. They need quarterback play, Ocho. They really do.
Shannon Sharpe
So you don't. You don't believe in Justin Fields and what he was able to do when they started the season off four and two before Russell Wilson took over. I'm your thoughts.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, ojo. For them to inquire about Trevor Lawrence. What do they believe? Forget me and you. Me and you can jump around here. You and I can have spitball and throw some bounce stuff off the wall. What are the Steelers telling you? If they're willing to inquire about somebody outside of their building.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, you right. Ooh, that's tough.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And get off my timeline. I'm done. I done dropped the point. I know. Yeah. Biz Carter's from Florida, so is T. Mac. Where's Ant man from Georgia. Where's Dwight Howard from Georgia? Kenny Walker, Georgia. So look, but normally, those Southern states, we normally produce basketball players. You start going north, you go to New York, California, they normally have basketball and football. But in the south, the weather, you know, we known for, bro. We football. Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, we start going up the coast. Don't show you. Come on, bro.
Shannon Sharpe
Right, right, right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Louisiana. Texas. Yeah. You gotta have some. You got baseball players come from all over. But y'all know what we do. I'm done. Y'all know what I. Did y'all see it? Y'all saw it. 52. You didn't know that?
Shannon Sharpe
I know. We. We saw it, but it ain't just some questions about it. You know, I. I just. I just want to add. But I.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Are you calling the state of Georgia a lie?
Shannon Sharpe
No, I'm not trying. I'm not. I don't want to sound like I hate him. I'm. I'm just. It just.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, that's what it sounds like from over here. Chad, does it sound like he hating y'all?
Shannon Sharpe
No, no, I'm not trying to hate. I'm just saying so many people score so many points over an extended period of time from a Pacific state. Lets me know that the people in that Pacific State suck at the game of basketball. That's all.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Lisa Leslie had 101 points at the half of a basketball game in California. Go look at the state of California and see what their records are. Go look at the state of New York and see what their scoring records are.
Shannon Sharpe
All right, you're right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I know it's hard for you to believe because your boy played football. You know what I'm saying? I had. I put the foot. I put the basketball down.
Shannon Sharpe
But listen, that. That's not a bad thing, because, listen, I think. Listen to some or your belief you might be a better basketball player than a football player, but the same thing goes with me. I'm a better soccer and tennis player than I am a receiver.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You ain't playing no tennis.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm a bet. Oh, I'm a matter of fact. I'm glad you just said that. I'm glad you just said that because I'm playing in the Miami Open in the exhibition match March 20. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, I forgot who my opponent is. Then you will be able to see. See, anytime I say something, there will always be video evidence, the follow behind it. If anybody in the chat that's been following me for a while, they can show you that I can play tennis very well.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, oh, what about. What about Lamelo ball? He scored 92. So is that it? Are they any good?
Shannon Sharpe
Hold on, hold on. Who? Lamelo Ball? Play for what? Weren't they way out there in the suburbs?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Chino Hills. Played in Chino Hills.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, they can't play. They can't play no hoop in Chino Hills, man. They can't play no hoop.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He dropped 92. So what about that, Ocho? He dropped 92 in the game.
Shannon Sharpe
Can't hear what I just said, huh? They can't. But they can't hoop out there in Chino Hills. They made no Hoopers. They made no Hoopers.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The man dropped 92.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, I ain't got nothing. Listen, Lamelo, the real deal. Listen, Lamelo, the real deal in the NBA, so I can understand him dropping 92. Now that I understand you.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I just chose to go a different route. I chose to go a different route, Ocho. Okay, Coulda.
Shannon Sharpe
All right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Coulda. Who don't?
Shannon Sharpe
You right. You right. I'm gonna let you have it. I'm let you have it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I love. Seems that the Steelers are looking to trade their first and second round picks for Trevor Lawrence. Steelers, if y'all think you're gonna be able to get Trouble. Thank you, Ocho. If you think you're going to be able to get Trevor Lawrence. Oh, oh, here's the thing. Jacksonville wouldn't have to give up anything. Jacksonville would get to stay at 5. Right now if we get the Steelers first round pick, we can package that move up, maybe get a quarterback. That's what we feel. But it's going to take more. If y'all think y'all gonna be able to get Trevor Lawrence for a one and a two, y'all are out y'all damn mind.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't understand what the Jaguars are gonna do. What are they gonna do? You need a quarterback. So you're letting go of a quarterback that you assumingly don't believe in to this point, who has all the intangibles. I mean he passes the eye test. I mean I'm. Man, already you throwing in the. You waving the white flag already. Jesus, talk about impatience.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ocho. This is the fifth straight year a former Giants first round pick has won the Super Bowl. Jason Pierre Paul with the bucks, Odell Beckham Jr. With the Rams, Kadarius. Tony won twice with the Chiefs and now Saquon. It seemed like the Giants got more guys first round picks winning championship with other teams than they do their own.
Shannon Sharpe
The funny thing about it is they haven't been able to get it right despite all the talent they did. Listen, they've been drafting, right? They've been drafted, right? Because everybody just name was that boy at one point in time. Hell, St. John is still that boy.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
JPA, not Tony. He wasn't that. He wasn't that guy. He was in college. He was sensational in college. I saw him in Florida. You remember him in the. I remember him in the SEC championship game. Florida against Alabama.
Shannon Sharpe
Nasty.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He was crazy. He was crazy.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But for whatever reason, you know, off field issues, behavior issues, stalled out his, stalled out his career. So. The Rams reportedly want the number three pick from the Giants for Matthew Stafford. Rams don't want to restructure Stafford's deal and are reportedly getting tired of his wife constantly talking publicly. The Rams could then look to trade down from 3 to acquire more picks next year to move to move up for a quarterback.
Shannon Sharpe
Bring that to me one more time.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The Rams reportedly wants the number three pick for the Giants from the Giants for Matthew Stafford.
Shannon Sharpe
I like that move. I like that move for staff.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up the number three pick for no. 3637 year old quarterback.
Shannon Sharpe
Listen, when's the last time the Giants had A quarterback. Eli Manning. How long has it been? Okay, it's been a minute. If you want to win now, if you want to make some changes, you go get you a Super bowl winning quarterback that knows how to win, can throw that damn ball. I like it. Stafford, the neighbors talk to me. Stafford, the Jalen Hyatt. Talk to me.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Jalen Wyatt.
Shannon Sharpe
Hyatt.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It's Hyatt.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, it's Hyatt. Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, yeah. There's another Jalen for the. The Patriots. I think he's Jalen Polk. Ocho. But here, this is what this Ocho. This is what would concern me.
Shannon Sharpe
What, what part?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Matthew Stafford has really never played outdoors. Oh, I knew he went from Detroit. He went to the Rams.
Shannon Sharpe
I knew he was gonna say that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Would you be concerned for a 36, 37 year old not playing outdoors?
Shannon Sharpe
Not with that kind of arm like that. Did you see him against the Eagles in the snow?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I did.
Shannon Sharpe
There are very few quarterbacks who can whip it like that in the snow.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
Aaron Rodgers himself. Stafford, you know, in a. In a slack. Josh Allen Mahomes. It ain't too many of them could throw like that. Now Burrow.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. I do realize. I know the Rams don't want to redo his deal. I like Matt. I think he's phenomenal. Met his wife a couple times. She's great. But she loves her husband and she thinks they haven't shown the kind of respect for someone that has done what he's done for them and she ain't got no problem. But here's the thing though, Ocho. What I tell you when you say something and you got a significant other or a family member says something, where does the team. Where do that fan base think that's coming from?
Shannon Sharpe
The individual.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay. I just. Hey, right or wrong or indifferent, I'm just telling you how to mind. Say it.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, absolutely.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
If I said if My brother, my sister said something. Bucket Burns said something. Oh, that. Even though it ain't good for me. Right. Man, you know they get that from Hunk Real Say something. Your homeboy, one of your homeboys say something, man. You the fan. You know, man, you don't owe you the total. I don't know why they don't want to do Redo the man contract. Damn, man. Stafford still throwing that thing. But I know they like that. Some Bennett. No, Cheap. And they said we need more pieces.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So they got a very good defense.
Shannon Sharpe
Very.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And they're young.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. But you got. You got to be careful. You got to be careful. Go defensive young I know they're hungry. I know they playing they're playing well verse and the rest of them boys but uncle, you need a quarterback to compete man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I do. I believe I know you do. You absolutely need a quarterback to compete. You not winning without one.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah the volume.

Timestamp: [07:36] - [15:39]
Shannon Sharpe kicks off the episode by recounting a personal anecdote about being late to a blind date due to unforeseen circumstances. He describes arriving at a restaurant in Wynwood called Sparrow for an 8:00 PM reservation. Despite enjoying a pleasant dinner and live music, Shannon had to leave early to watch an NFL game. However, upon attempting to return to his car, he discovers it has been towed by Alpine Towing because he opted for street parking over the expensive valet service.
Notable Quotes:
Shannon explains that he missed his car due to a lapse in judgment regarding his Sun Pass balance, leading to accumulated tickets and car towing. The conversation highlights the importance of financial responsibility, especially concerning minor expenses that can lead to significant inconveniences.
Timestamp: [16:17] - [22:35]
The hosts delve into the recent NBA matchup where the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder with a score of 116-101. Chad provides a detailed breakdown of player performances, noting standout contributions from Naz Reed (27 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists) and Shay Gilgis (24 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists). Despite playing without key players like Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle, and Mike Conley, the Thunder struggled to maintain their performance in the second half.
Notable Quotes:
Shannon adds his perspective, suggesting that the Thunder's strong record (44-10) may have led to complacency during the break, preventing them from playing to their full potential. Both hosts agree that the Timberwolves showcased excellent teamwork and athleticism, capitalizing on the Thunder's lapses.
Timestamp: [28:16] - [35:09]
The discussion shifts to NBA star Paul George, focusing on his underwhelming performance in February where he averages 10 points, three rebounds, and three assists per game. Shannon questions why George continues to play despite his declining stats and apparent injuries, highlighting the conflict between financial incentives and player health.
Notable Quotes:
Chad explains that Paul George is likely continuing to play to fulfill his $50 million-a-year contract, despite needing rest and treatment for injuries like a hyperextended knee and a problematic pinky finger. The conversation underscores the pressures athletes face to perform despite physical setbacks.
Timestamp: [62:05] - [73:56]
Chad and Shannon engage in a spirited debate about the Pittsburgh Steelers' rumored interest in trading for quarterback Trevor Lawrence from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Chad expresses skepticism about the feasibility and wisdom of such a move, questioning whether the Steelers genuinely need Lawrence or if they’re relying on him to solve their quarterback woes.
Notable Quotes:
Shannon supports the idea of acquiring a seasoned quarterback like Lawrence to enhance the Steelers' competitiveness, especially emphasizing the franchise's need for reliable QB play. The hosts debate the potential impact on team dynamics and financial implications, with Shannon advocating for strategic acquisitions to build a dynasty.
Timestamp: [35:09] - [58:39]
A lively exchange unfolds as Chad challenges Shannon's claims about his high school basketball performance, where Chad asserts he once scored 52 points in a game. Shannon questions the legitimacy of such feats, suggesting that consistently high scoring indicates a lack of competitive play. The conversation escalates into a mock argument, with both hosts defending their credibility.
Notable Quotes:

Chad counters by mentioning historical records and high school achievements, though the tone remains entertainingly confrontational.
