Joe
joe I couldn't wait on this. Miles Turner. He peeled back another layer of Milwaukee tumultuous 20, 25, 26 season on the Game Recognized Game podcast, Turner says Doc didn't find anybody this season despite repeated tardiness, and Giannis was most likely the Bucks players to be late. Let's take a listen to what Miles Turner had to say. We get fined for all types of stuff now. You guys get fined a lot.
Advertiser/Commercial Voice
It depends on the coach. So Doc Rivers, he didn't find anybody. Guys were late all the time. Guys were, you know, showing up to film whenever they wanted to show up. Guys were missing meetings like it was one of the craziest things I personally experienced. We literally, if the plane took off at 2 o', clock, we weren't leaving till 4:30. I'm being so serious, bro. It was crazy though. Guys are an hour late to the plane. It got to the point where I just, I knew not to show up until like an hour it was taken off.
Joe
Wow.
Advertiser/Commercial Voice
Crazy.
Joe
So who's the teammate that's most likely to be late? Well, all of yours, obviously, because nobody gets fined.
Advertiser/Commercial Voice
Giannis. Giannis is going to show up whenever he wants. Really. You know, I think that that's kind of just came with the territory that and once I kind of saw it was going down, I was like, hey man, more power to you. They ain't going to find. Do what you do. Except when we're going to Dallas. That's when I was like, all right, come on.
Uncle Joe
Right now we're getting fined for miss free throw box outs.
Advertiser/Commercial Voice
Honestly, that's a good one. I'm not mad at that. I'm actually not mad at that at all.
Uncle Joe
We're a Little bit mad about it
Joe
because it's like, all right, well, what if the ball goes out of bounds? There's no possession. What if, like, there's always caveats to it. Yeah. Bad bounds.
Uncle Joe
Hey, stuff like that. Supposed to stay in house.
Joe
Hold on, hold on. Before you go. Oo. OO and Joe, they have since deleted this video.
Uncle Joe
I mean, I would.
Joe
In case you could. No, no, no, no. Ocho, you ever been to court too late?
Uncle Joe
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Talk to him. He's talking to me.
Joe
Some. Somebody might. A lawyer might ask a question. And what did one lawyer, the defense or prosecution, says objection, and the judge says, sustain. How do you make the jury unhear what they heard?
Uncle Joe
Too late.
Joe
So whether he. Sustained. Now.
Uncle Joe
Yeah.
Joe
The defendant is not supposed to. Whomever. They're not supposed to take that into consideration. Jury, whatever you just heard, disregard it. Pretend you didn't hear it. I heard what he said. I saw the video. The man said Giannis was most likely to be late. He said they were showing up an hour plus late. He's the leader of your team.
Uncle Joe
Your team.
Joe
Yes, absolutely. Go ahead.
Uncle Joe
Now, listen, you. You right, And I'm with you when you're right. Huh? I'm not saying what Giannis is doing is okay, but I'm saying the things that. Going in locker rooms, the things that going on. On team functions and. And. And stuff like that, that always stays in house.
Joe
Well, he gone, so I can tell it. Oh, yeah. Oh, Joe, when you break up, what the girls say?
Uncle Joe
Yeah.
Joe
You ain't had no meat. I wasn't. You weren't doing nothing. Anyway. They say all the things.
Ocho
Yeah, right.
Uncle Joe
Yeah, they. They do that, but you don't. You rarely hear this from players. Very, very, very rarely. But all of a sudden now, during this era that we're in now, where everyone has a voice, everyone has a platform, you have podcasts and stuff like that, everyone likes to tell some of the things that are always kept in house.
Ocho
And when you think about it, that's mild. Turner. It was his first year in Milwaukee, okay? So listen. Probably. Probably. That probably had a lot to do with why DOC resigned. Because, listen, if the animals run in the zoo, fellas, how the hell we gonna keep. How we gonna keep everything in order?
Uncle Joe
Hey, Joe, That's a good one, boy. If the. What?
Ocho
The animals running the zoo.
Uncle Joe
Oh, that's a bar.
Ocho
That's a bar in the zoo. Meaning I come and go when I please. I don't get police. You. I don't get no repercussions. Ain't no fines, man. You two hours late to the damn plane.
Joe
What?
Uncle Joe
Hey, hey, hey, Unc, you know why they able to do that? What kind of. What kind of money?
Joe
NBA players got money now.
Ocho
They have you money.
Uncle Joe
They got their fu. Money. They do what they play. Hey, Unc, can you imagine if we. We were late to a plane on
Joe
the NFL game after they take you?
Uncle Joe
Hey, listen, not on now. Hey, Joe, not only are they gonna leave us, we gotta get our own flight going to wherever we going, whoever we plan. As a matter of fact, not only that, Joe, we probably won't start.
Ocho
Okay? Ocho, normally your ass get left. I don't care who you are. I didn't seen the star players get left, bro. And yes, you had to book your own flight and you had to meet us. I'm telling you, that ain't normal, bro. That's not normal. That.
Joe
That's the behavior of a guy that says, f y', all, I don't want to be here.
Ocho
I'm ready to go.
Joe
And I'm going to show you how much I don't want to be here, because I'm going to come when I want to. I'm. And, yeah, and I'm. I'm telling you what's happening. This is a guy. I'm showing you now what I'm telling the media. Oh, I want to be here. I love it in Milwaukee, my home, yada, yada, yada. But what he's showing the team and the higher ups. Yeah, I don't want to be here.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
I can't make it any more abundantly clear than by not showing up on time.
Uncle Joe
But listen, none of us would have known this, Uncle Joe. See, Giannis is saying one thing publicly, trying to keep a clean face. Miles Turner come, goes behind his back and say, let me tell you who Giannis really is.
Ocho
Yes, but think about it. Think about it, though. Ojo hell he was. He didn't even play a whole hell of a lot last year, so he's probably missing this plane and he wasn't even dressed.
Joe
Thank you. Oh, okay.
Ocho
Okay. You know what I mean?
Joe
So.
Uncle Joe
That still doesn't make it right, though, Joe. You're not playing. You can't be coming two hours late.
Ocho
Yeah, no, no, no, no. It don't. It don't make it right. But what I'm saying is, Miles Turner in the crew, they out there grinding night in and night out, practicing their ass off. Yeah. You mean to tell me you still traveling with us, but we still gotta.
Joe
We gotta wait on you. Come on, bro, we gotta wait on you. But you the leader of the team. It's hard. It's hard because you want your best players to be your hardest worker and your best.
Ocho
There you go.
Uncle Joe
Locked in.
Joe
Because, Ocho, remember when we first started at Sodocho, I remember watching the guys and I watched Steve Atwater and I watched how Dennis Smith and I watched John Elway, I watched the guys. I said, that's the kind of leader I want to be. Because I know that when I got in that position, the young guy's going to be watching me. If I'm asleep in meetings and I'm still playing at an elite level, if I'm late, they're going to think that's acceptable.
Ocho
Yep.
Joe
You see what Giannis is doing?
Uncle Joe
You know what? That's crazy. You know what? Remember, Remember I said I want. I want players, I want coaches, I want to be able to speak their mind. I want to be honest.
Joe
You don't want that.
Uncle Joe
Now say some of the things. No, no, no, I. I still want it, but this is not what I'm talking about. I ain't talking about snitching. I ain't talking about that. I want to be honest how they, how they feel when it, when it comes to things that involves themselves. Let me tell you how I feel about the situation I'm in. Let me tell you about what I don't feel comfortable with. With this situation or this organization or my playing time or stuff like that. Not going and sitting on the go damn platform. Talk about what another player did and exposing him. That, that's, that, that's, that's, that's. That's snitching. And most of those things that happen in locker rooms are supposed to be.
Joe
How about you come to.
Ocho
Hold on.
Joe
So Miles Turnerson said, why Giannis is a. Is a 10 time greater player, but why is his time more important than mine? But he's telling us we need X, Y and Z and he's not doing
Uncle Joe
what he supposed to do. Oh, yeah, yeah, Absolutely.
Joe
I'm telling you guys, they follow what you do, not what you say. Yes, sir. You talk your ass off. Yeah. How you gonna talk about. You talking about late for me to come on, guys. Well, if you. For me, I would. Joe. Hey. It's happened now. I've never. I've never been late for a team play. And I used to hate being a rookie because oo. You know, rookie, you gotta go get donuts or you gotta go get fried chicken, go get burgers. And I'm like, come on, man. You all know. Come on, man. Hey, hey, Shop. I want this. Get me a. A. A three piece, spicy. Now I want Popeyes. I want kfc. I said, look here, everybody go. Do you get popeyes and getting KFC? I'm not going no.
Ocho
2.
Joe
Damn. Stop. Now y' all gonna have to whip my ass. So I'm gonna whip y' all ass. But I'm eating. What you gonna. What you want? But I'm damn if I'm going because Popeye's way over here and KFC over there, and I still. I gotta get. I gotta go home, get dressed, get my stuff, go get this. Nah, nah, I'm not doing all that.
Ocho
It's a lot.
Uncle Joe
You know what's funny, Uncle Joe? The funny thing about it is, as great as I was when I played, especially in my goddamn prime, as crazy I was when it came to my antics and my on the field stuff, or the stuff I did in front of the camera, through the media, when it came to my opponents, nothing really malicious. There was one thing I never did that scared me a little bit.
Joe
What's that?
Uncle Joe
I would never be late.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uncle Joe
I was always on time. I didn't fall asleep in beatings.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uncle Joe
I always conducted myself like the professional I am because I didn't want them to be able to say anything about me.
Ocho
There you go.
Uncle Joe
Anything else? Because when I touch the field, I'm an actor ass.
Ocho
There you go.
Uncle Joe
I'm an actor ass. So everything outside of that unk I did, I did it right.
Ocho
You right. Hey, and, and, and, and another thing that it tells me about the Milwaukee Bucks players, man, they ain't respect.
Joe
Doc, if you.
Ocho
If you respect. If you respect your head coach, bro. And you know, he. He's non tolerance, right. Your ass gonna be on time.
Uncle Joe
Right?
Ocho
Period, point blank. Now, if you lenient, meaning. Okay, I've been late a couple times, and you ain't. It's no repercussions. I ain't been punished. I ain't been fine. Hell, what's. Why not be late again? Yeah.
Joe
And me.
Ocho
Yeah. Like, I think you have to. If your head coach doesn't command or demand respect, bro.
Uncle Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
The players will try and run over you. That's. That's just like a. That's. That's just like a. You being in a relationship with a female, bro, if you don't put your foot down, homie, she gonna do whatever
Joe
she want to do when she want to, or. I'm going out with the girls tonight. When were you gonna Let me know this right now. Oh, no, no. I tell you what, I tell you what, you go, yeah, I'm not gonna tell you what you can do, but I guarantee you good luck getting back in here.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uncle Joe
Hey, Joe. Hey, Uncle Joe. Just think about that. Just thinking about what Giannis is able to do. Obviously, the money's different. It's guaranteed. They have F you money in the NBA. But just showing up late in general, whether it's meetings, whether it's the team playing, like there's a certain fear, there's a certain fear in me that would be scared to do.
Joe
I don't have a respect for your people.
Uncle Joe
That would scare me.
Joe
What you had was, was respect for your teammates and the coaching staff because you felt time wasn't any more important than theirs. Giannis felt because he was the best player, a two time league mvp, a finals mvp, his time was more important than theirs. And he says, I'm going to come whenever I want to come. And when things you can't abuse. Now see, he tell that. Now I want to see if he going to tell that story. I want to see if he go get on the platform and say, yeah, guys, I was late. Yeah, and that's on me.
Uncle Joe
He gonna be pissed. He gonna be pissed. He gonna be pissed. Hey, how about this? Why you think they deleted other NBA players? Hey, how other, how are other NBA players gonna look at Miles Turner? Do you mean how they gonna view him?
Ocho
Meaning, like if you and our locker room, you gonna be telling stuff that's going on.
Uncle Joe
Yeah, but think about this. What's the situation with Swaggy P back in the days?
Joe
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. D. Russell.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah.
Joe
You see, you see how that's one thing. How to find. You had to fire on him. You got to fire. You got to whip him. You gotta whip him. You know that. You got the whip. It a man, put you a man, throw you under the bus like that,
Ocho
that told all your little business.
Joe
Hey, old lady, it's the same thing. I, I whip him every day and I won't make him say no. I was just, we were just playing. That ain't happened. Hey, hey.
Ocho
But here's what I will tell y'.
Joe
All.
Ocho
Hell, one of them Miles Turner or Giannis, one of them gonna be gone.
Joe
He was gone. It's kind of like if we like, we, you know, guys, I love this because we always like, like to equate a lot of things to relationship. When you know you about to leave relationship, you go and come as you please. You Leave. Ape. Where are you going? Oh, I'm going. I'm going to see the fellas. At 11:30?
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe
You walk in the house at 4:00', clock, 5:00 clock in the morning like it ain't nothing.
Ocho
Hello.
Uncle Joe
Whoa, hold on, hold on.
Joe
Hey, Uncle. You did that before, man. You know, Goodwill. I can't come in the house past 12 o'. Clock. I'm sleep.
Uncle Joe
Hey. Hey, Joe. Hey, you ever tried to break up with somebody and came and came in the house when the sun was coming up?
Ocho
I don't. I don't have. Yeah, I haven't been there. Yeah. To the point to where I was just kind of, like, fed up. Like, man, the hell with this. I'm like, yeah, yeah, I come home when the hell I come home. You know what I mean? Yeah. What repercussions do I have for this?
Joe
Already I just got the courage enough to say it, but I'm hoping you say it's over. That's the thing, that is. And for. Let me tell you how I am, guy. I'm not coming late. I've always been a guy. Hey, everybody know how I am on time. So it ain't nothing new. But ain't no way in hell if my culture, my complexion, and I know how hard it is for them to get jobs like that. Ain't no way I undercut him. No way. If I can show up for Dan Reeves, if I could show up for Wade Phillips, I could show up for Mike Shanahan, Brian Billick. I'm damn sure showing up for Her Melvers. I'm damn sure showing up for Mike Tomlin. I'm damn sure, sure enough for Tony Dungeon, I'm damn sure enough for, Rest His Soul, Denny Green. There is no way in hell. Cause I know how hard it was for them to get in that position. And now I'm one of their best players. And I. And I, I. I'm late now.
Uncle Joe
Hell, no.
Ocho
Yeah, that's tough, bro. But I didn't seen it. I didn't seen it on. On several occasions, fellas, you know, basketball and football a little different. Like I said, it's a lot of leniency when it comes to, you know, basketball. Like, we don't have to sleep in hotels. Meaning when we at home and all that, you know, you kind of come and go as you please. We ain't got no curfews. It's a little different.
Uncle Joe
Wait, hold on. Y' all ain't got no curfew tonight before a game?
Ocho
Hell, no,
Uncle Joe
man.
Joe
Even if you're on my first three years because Dan Reeves, he was big on family. Coach Landry was big on families. He felt that the players would play better if they were at home with their wives, kids, significant other. Come to find out, guess what, they wasn't spending time with it. They might spend time, but they might be three o' clock, But this baffles me. But it just goes to show you.

Joe
some people's like, hey, do what I say, don't do what I do. Some people like, look, I'm a lead. I'm going to show you how to do the right thing. This is how I eat. This is how I prepare, this is how I study. This is my make sure I get everything. But be on time. It bothers me. Man. I hate that. Ocho, you and I were great players. Joe, you were a great player. It would have been nothing for us. The the part about being a great player is to have privileges and don't abuse them.
Uncle Joe
Bingo. I'm. That's. You just. You took the words right out of my. I couldn't. I couldn't find a sentence structure. But you just said it. Yeah, I wasn't doing that.
Joe
That's the problem. You don't think Tom Brady had privileges. You don't think Peyton Manning and John Elway. I've been with Ray. Ray was the defensive player of the year. Was on time. He could get on time because he knows guys are watching him.
Ocho
Yep.
Joe
I don't get it, man. I don't get it.
Uncle Joe
Yeah. That's crazy. I. I hope this doesn't cause a trickle effect though, Joe. And you know how many things going in the locker room, you know how many things are going to go. Go on at home in the streets that only we know about? Because we're. We're all in the same circle when something happens. We all know people talk.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uncle Joe
There's certain things that never get out because it stays within that. That, that, that confinement of that fraternity. That's what the hood.
Joe
Yeah.
Uncle Joe
Not now. If we. Now we get players deciding to come out and tell things that nobody would know unless they run their mouth. I hope this is. This is not a triple A trickle effect. Another player decided, well, you know what? I got a story too. Let me tell this story about this player. Let me tell this story about this player and not everybody telling everybody. Goddamn.
Joe
This could have been a situation where he. Giannis, did this with. Not only did he do it with Doc, he did it with Buddha. He done it with. What's the Adrian Griffin. Whomever the coach was. I don't know. Maybe this is. This is who he is. I don't know. I don't know. I just know. I don't care. Chad. You can't convince me because someone is great at something. His time is more important than mine. It's not. If I found a way to get there, he can too. Because there's a great chance he has a better car than mine. Yeah. Why do I have to? Why do I have to? He's not the only one that's married with kids. I promise you he's not. Nah, he don't I think any more than the next man love he is. I gotta get there. I gotta be the film study Ocho. I gotta be the treatment. I gotta get to shoot around. I gotta get to the practice. I've gotta get to the plane. Why can't he as the best player? That's what you want. You want that response. Do you understand how great you have to be to have a certain level of responsibility? Everybody don't have this responsibility. Having that level of responsibility is a privilege, Ocho.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uncle Joe
You know what you always say, too, unc? Remember, we've had situations with NFL receivers that come late all the time.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uncle Joe
And the first thing you say is, you think this is the first time they did that?
Joe
No, absolutely not.
Uncle Joe
So this is probably not the first time he did this. This is just the first time that someone that was part of that team put it out there public.
Joe
Yes, of course.
Uncle Joe
Hey, listen, might have been something he'd been doing all the time.
Joe
I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised.
Ocho
I think, I think the disheartening thing is that, you know, we, we hold Giannis to, you know, we hold him on a high pedestal, bro.
Uncle Joe
Super high.
Ocho
And you just. I, I, I'm gonna be honest with y'. All. I never would even guess.
Joe
I wouldn't have either. Joke.
Ocho
He looked like he's the hardest worker, which he probably is. Yeah, he looks like, you know, he's always on time. I'm just telling you what it looks like. I never would have guessed when Miles Turner said that that's what Giannis was doing.
Joe
He was. That man didn't go through no other names. That man said, who's the most. She. Uh, uh, Bri. Uh, uh, Stewie, say, well, who's the most habitual offender?
Ocho
Oh, yes.
Joe
Yeah. I mean, without hesitation. Normally, I was like, let me think.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah.
Joe
Giannis. That's why we love our illusions. Because we don't want the truth, because it would destroy. It would destroy our illusions. And Joe said he had this illusion of what, Yanis? What? Giannis was hard worker. He couldn't.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Two things can be true. He can be a hard worker and a. A repeat habitual tardy guy.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uncle Joe
And think how hard. And Joe, certain players fight to keep that image clean.
Joe
Of course.
Uncle Joe
Think about it. And then you have people like Miles Turner come out and say things like this that tarnish that said image that Joe had and who he felt Giannis was.
Joe
Yeah, but we're smart enough to know we saw through a lot of y' all this bull jive. Oh, I do what my agent says.
Uncle Joe
Child, please.
Joe
Thank you.
Ocho
Come on, now.
Joe
I don't know anything about what's going on. So you mean to tell me your agent is having conversations about your future and you don't know nothing about it?
Ocho
Man, please.
Joe
He, you know absolutely nothing. Oh, whatever. My wife, bro. You really gonna put that on your wife? Right? You really gonna put that on your wife? My wife is going to decide where I go.
Ocho
Right.
Joe
Okay.
Uncle Joe
Well, you know what? He ain't got to worry about being late no more. Where he gonna. He's gonna be down here in Miami, and Pat Riley don't play that. And sponsor gonna find you. He ain't gonna be late.
Host/Announcer
And.
Joe
And. But a lot of this is on Doc. And see, but this I don't Coach Joe, because I've heard Doc speak, and I've heard a lot of players that play for Doc. Doc is a guy. He let the players handle it. I will treat you like men. I want you to show up. I want you to do what you're supposed to do and remove me from the equation. Y' all handle that. Y' all got an issue going on. Somebody like each other. Hey, y' all handle that. I. I don't want nothing to do with. I don't need to know about it. Hey, y' all gonna. You. You can't. Everybody is not wired like that. Some people, you got to step on their neck. Let me take that back.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Apologize. Can't use that phrase. Some people, you got to. You know, you got to get on them.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe
You just got to get on them. Because they won't do. Right, Joe? They will not. And the one thing that you don't want to have happen is that your best player developed this type of attitude. Because, boy, if he develops it, good luck corralling.
Ocho
Yeah. Hey, hey. I'm with you. You got to put your foot down, bro. Meaning to where? Every man on that roster respects you, bro. Especially the top. From top to bottom, I don't give a damn who it is.
Joe
And when you.
Ocho
And when you a head coach, if you super lenient, because I've been on teams like that to where I've seen kind of, you know, players doing what they want and coaches really not saying a whole hell of a lot. I know what it looked like. Hey, and whatever you let a guy get away with, trust me, his ass gonna run a thousand miles with.
Uncle Joe
Yeah,
Joe
yeah. And that's the thing, because I saw. I saw guys do things with Wade they didn't think about doing with Dan. It didn't even cross their mind.
Ocho
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe
But me.
Ocho
Nah, bro.
Joe
Not gonna do that. We was at the super bowl, and Brian. Billy told the story. We have no Joe, we have no curb Dane. Check.
Uncle Joe
No room.
Joe
Check the first. Hey, do what you a. I'm a. Brian's like, I'm gonna treat you guys like men. He said, the only thing that I ask is that you ride to and from practice on the bus. Yeah, we ain't got no practice. We ain't got no curfew. Just ride from the hotel to the practice on the bus, go back, and then once you get back to the hotel, if your mom, your girlfriend, somebody want to pick you up and you want to go wherever, take off.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
This dude, like, man, you know, my mom, them coming, so I'm gonna ride back. I say, no the F you not. I say no, the f you not. I said. Brian said, we only got one rule. The rule is to and from, and that's it. So, unfortunately, you need to tell your mom and your dad or whomever else, they're not gonna be able to take you from here. They can follow the buses back to the hotel, and you can get in the car and go with them then. Cause you not gonna F this up for nobody else, man. The end. We lived happily ever after. You're not gonna. You're not gonna mess it up. Nope. That ain't happening. And he. Yo, bro, hold on. You not even playing. Well, I wish I would.
Ocho
It'd be the worst one sometime. Okay, Ocho, the ones who don't get no clock, they ain't playing. They feel like they ain't included.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
And please, you gotta be on your best damn behavior.
Joe
Absolutely. Cause, yeah. Michael send you home? Cause I know he done sent some of them home.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
And I love it. Nah, bro, I gotta get up. Why? You feel your time is more?
Uncle Joe
That's.
Joe
That's. That's the way I look at it. You tell. You say, f, Shannon, man. F sharp. Cause I gotta get up and I gotta get here. But you don't. Who. Yeah, like I said, I wasn't cut out to be everybody's teammate because I had a problem. I was there to win. I wasn't there to make friends and already accumulated enough friends in college and what I didn't have in high school and college. If I didn't make it in the NFL, oh, well, so damn be it.
Ocho
Oh, well.
Joe
Money. Money and friends. I. I was coming to the NFL to make money, not make friends.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Now it's in the process. If I. I got a couple. Thank you. But if I didn't, oh, well, right. I'd be old man with a damn house full of dogs, man. I don't play like that. We coming to work. We're gonna get our work done. We're gonna have a good time, and Mike would tell him, hey, have a good time. But he'd also put me inside 84. You responsible for him now. Yeah, man. Hey, stretch it out, yo. Walk into the field, stretching, boy. We. Hey, we all. But the moment he blow that whistle,
Ocho
strictly lock in. Yeah.
Joe
Strictly business. All that Kiki kid and all that foolery. I. I ain't about that. I ain't about that. Oh, man, you, man. You. You, you. This. No, no, no, no, no, bro. What are you here for? You trying to win. So what you. What we trying to do? Because we trying to do here? We trying to win.
Ocho
It ain't.
Joe
It ain't that complicated for me. I come to get better. You come to bull jive? Well,
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
I ain't gonna dime you out, but when the man asked me what I think about something, I'm gonna keep walking. That's my answer.
Ocho
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe
This is. This is very disheartening for me to have this on Giannis. Cause you got. Honestly, it's hard for me to view him in any. To do this. It's hard. It's hard because, like you say, Joe, we have a perception of people.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
I mean, just imagine if you found out that Tom Brady was a jerk or Peyton Manning was a jerk, where they're so affable, and you see the person, especially Peyton. Peyton been Saturday Night Live, and he might have had one of the greatest performance for an athlete on Saturday Night Live. And if you've ever been around him, Ocho, like you and I have, Joe, what you see, that's who he is.
Uncle Joe
What you get? Yeah, just like that.
Joe
You could. Hey, hey, Paint. This is my. This is my friend's son. Can you sign this autograph? Can you sign this jersey? Can you sign this? No problem. Yeah, anytime. Hey, hey, 84, anytime you want to come back. Hey, come on to the suite. Come to the box. Tom is the same people. Oh, Tom is great. I saw Tom right here. Was that. That was. As a matter of fact, it was last June. It was last June. I went to the thing because he got this exhibit at the fountain. Blue.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Anything. You ain't love what you do. I love. I love how you do your homework. You know what the hell you're talking about?
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
You need anything from me, give me a call. So, yeah, I let people. Oh, man, you just. I'll let y' all talk, but I know when I talk to them, how they. Same thing with owners. I think that's the greatest compliment. Is that something that a player or owner or GM can give you pull you to the side. You do a hell of a job. You do your homework. Now I might not like everything that you say, but you know what the hell you're talking about.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah.
Joe
You'd be surprised at some of the teams that I've taken to the gaming the sharpest critique Their owners give you the greatest compliment. Their players give you the greatest compliment.

Joe
So I'm doing something right, boy. Asia Wilson had a monster game tonight. Joe oh, shorthand beat the Suns, 101 to 94. Asia 15 of 18 from the field. She made all 13 of her free throws. She made both of her three point attempt shots. The Aces have responded well after the overnight loss. Defendant, they were having a hangover. Kennedy Carter, who's been unbelievable, coming off the bench for the aces. She had 18 points. She returned to the league this year after not signing with the team last year. She's been a godsend. She's been. She's been un. Unbelievable. But this is why I said for me and I go back to 1996 when the NW NBA started. And I know all the great players that's played in wnba. From Candace Parker to Lisa Leslie to Cheryl Swoops to Lauren Jackson to Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore. I know them all. It's gonna be hard if she's not already the goat at 30 years old. And what she's accomplished gonna be very, very hard. Ocho and Joe, when it's all said and done, they said there was a greater w. A greater woman's basketball player than her.
Ocho
Yeah, you're right. You're right. She. Hey, she's been doing a hell of a job. They, hey, you know, they play.
Joe
They.
Ocho
They play the Atlanta Dream on Sunday in Atlanta. I think they do play here in Atlanta.
Joe
Are you going to the game, man?
Ocho
I might go, yeah. I might see Sunday what's going on. Is there any games on Sunday?
Joe
NBA, Cleveland.
Uncle Joe
Yeah, Yeah.
Ocho
I probably ain't gonna go. No. It's at 1:30. They play at 1:30.
Joe
I might go.
Ocho
I go. I might go check them out, man. She can do it, you know. Atlanta, Atlanta two and. Oh, bro. Atlanta two zero, Aces three and one. I think it'd be a damn good game.
Joe
I mean, they got Jackie Young had 13, Chelsea Gray had 12. Asia 45, 15 of 18, two or two from the three third. Perfect. From the free throw line, three rebounds, three assists, a steal, two blocks. That's what makes her so great, is that she can on both ends of the court. You. I can make a case. A strong case. She probably should have 5 and 4, 5 MVPs. 4 defensive players a year. Phoebe 2 years ago for player of the year. Stewie beat her two year, three years ago for mvp. She could have easily gotten that. Yeah, she phenomenal.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
So smooth.
Ocho
She is so smooth. Super talent, that lefty.
Joe
Lefty.
Ocho
She got a nice jump shot. Nice post game, nice mid range game. She got everything, bro. She does.
Joe
She does. She does. I mean, it's in the women's college game. You look, look, I would have loved to seen the situation they'd have had a WNBA league when Cheryl Miller came out.
Ocho
Oh.
Joe
Cause he was the greatest basketball player I had ever seen.
Ocho
Damn. You got to see a player.
Joe
I saw him college. Yes. When she went back.
Ocho
Really?
Joe
When she went back to back. They won the national championship back to back years. In 84, 85. They beat latex. You know, Kim Mulkey with the point guard.
Ocho
Was she really the coach for coaching Baylor?
Joe
Not coaching lsu was a point guard. They beat, they beat. They went back to back. They had the. McGee. Pam and Paula McGee.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Javale McGee. She was on that. Cooper. Cynthia Cooper was on that team. Cheryl Miller was on that team. Then in 86, Clarissa Davis, the great Texas team went undefeated. 36. 0. So, yeah, I go. I go all the way back with them. Cheryl Swoops had the greatest game I've ever seen a woman's college basketball player had in the national championship game. I think she dropped 48 on Ohio State and Katie Smith. Y' all go look at.
Ocho
Did you really?
Joe
That is the greatest woman's college basketball game that I've ever seen. I mean, Sheriff Swoops. Yes.
Ocho
She was the first. She. She was the first woman I know to have her own signature shoe. Right?
Uncle Joe
Yeah.
Advertiser/Commercial Voice
Yes.
Joe
Yeah, sure. If y' all get a chance, go check that game out on YouTube. She was right. Hey, she could do it all. She had a game. She was Maya Moore before Maya More. You know how Maya Moore get to that sweet spot and pull up Sheriff's will do all of that. Put it on the floor between the leg w.
Ocho
All that.
Joe
She ain't but Asia Wilson, man. When it's all said and done. All right, we got. Can you see this? Who's winning this series? You got Jimmy Butler, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Shaq, take it on. Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard Wimby and Tim Duncan.
Ocho
Well, I'm.
Uncle Joe
I'm probably D. Wade and Shaq.
Ocho
Yeah, I'm probably going to. I'm probably going with the Heat because
Joe
they still ain't got nobody to do anything with.
Ocho
Shaggy. Hell no.
Uncle Joe
Shaq gonna put women in the goddamn blender down in the low block.
Ocho
Well, if we be garden Bosh. Bosh gonna be out there at that three point line. Shoot that thing. He gonna have to. He gonna have to come out there. He gonna have to come out there and guard that. LeBron and Kawhi, it'd probably be a good matchup. But I give it to LeBron. I get. I get the way to Match up over Ginobly. And the fact that Jimmy, he'll be able to. I think he'll be able to guard Tony Parker. Tony will probably have a tough time guarding him.
Joe
Yeah, Tony ain't guarding him. And Ginobly damn sure ain't guarding D. Wade. Because D. Wade posted up D. Wade and Jimmy can both post.
Ocho
Hell yeah. Yeah.
Joe
Hey, we gonna tell boss. Hey, boss, just stay out by the three point line. Don't even try to post up.
Ocho
There you go. Hey, and if he help off you, you hit him right up the top of his damn head when we swing it to you. Yeah. Knock that thing down especially.
Joe
So we go take all these guys at the absolute prime. Oh, yeah. I ain't taking nobody with Shaq.
Ocho
Hell, no. I mean, real it is. I'm telling you, it was not no one man who could stop him.
Joe
You had about four. You had about three or four.
Ocho
Listen, you can't find one center who gave him hell to where it was hard for him to score. Be effective. That wasn't possible. We're gonna have you up under that charge line dunking on you hang, man, please.
Joe
Shaq said he running straight to the front of the rim. Good luck, man.
Ocho
What?
Joe
Good luck, man. But when you. When you look, let's see. I mean, because think about it. You left David Robinson off.
Ocho
He was a monster.
Joe
And the Admiral was unbelievable. You left Iceman off. Those really the only two that really ever had any chance of. I mean, Alvin Robinson wasn't an offensive guy. He was a tremendous defensive player.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
I'm trying to think who else went to San Antonio that played at San Antonio that was really, really good. I can't think of artist Gilmore. Yeah, Artist, Artist. Artist Gilmore. I'm trying to think of.
Ocho
Hey, hey, hey, Ocho. Speaking of Iceman, y' all listen to the Drake album, Plural. I have a plural.
Joe
You listen to it, Joe.
Ocho
I listened to one. That man dropped three albums.
Joe
Yeah. So he done with umg. See, there ain't no way he was doing. He dropped three albums. Say, now I'm done. Now I'm about to go get this thing. I read with somebody, a potential. A 2 billion dollar investment in the vest. Hedge fund.
Ocho
Hey, that's what I was thinking. I said, damn, why would he drop three albums? Then I started. I said, oh, yeah, he tried. He done. He done dealing with these MFs over here.
Uncle Joe
Hey, hey, I listen to Iceman. I didn't listen to the other two albums, but. But one's my favorite song on Iceman. Right? It's Called Make Them Pay Any. He sampled Denise Williams, Remember Denise Williams song Free?
Ocho
Yeah, yeah.
Uncle Joe
From back in the days. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he sampled that. I mean, that's one of the few songs I do enjoy.
Ocho
Oh, yeah. He ain't messing around, man.
Joe
I was busy, man. I had to go. Had to get on that cardio. Had to go work out today. I had to hit them 120 pound dumbbells. I don't want Joy to get too far ahead because he be trying to send some video with the little fake weight. I think Jord be having that fake weight. He move the thing a little bit too easy for my satisfaction. But no, but no. I. I think if you take everybody their prime, Jim at their prime, D Wade Bosch. Because people don't realize how great Chris Bosh was when he was in Toronto. Chris bosh was a 2010 guy. Y' all look at him now and what, he was the third option with the Heat. He wasn't bad.
Ocho
Yeah. Nah, he was nice. Yeah. Hey, that boy has some. He has some moves down on that low block. Yeah, he had a nice face up, face up game. Midi three ball. He had everything. Yes, he had everything.
Joe
And we only gotta say nothing about Shaq. Y' all know what Shaq was. I'll take any version of Shaq. I'll take Orlando. Shaq, I'll take in the first three, four years. And I'll take Shaq from 96 to 2002. I'll take that shack. A whole gorilla. Whole gorilla. I take 92. So when he got to the league in 92, all the way to O2, I'll take that shack. So I'll take 11 year shack. They not do they not doing nothing with him. Wimby and, and, and Tim Duncan gonna be in foul trouble. He gonna find all night long he too small.
Ocho
He gonna break that. Hey, hey, he probably gonna break his arm.
Joe
You see how Wimby hit Nas Reed? Imagine Shaq hitting Wimy like that. Even if he just hit him in
Uncle Joe
the shoulder, he gonna go flying.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, that's.
Joe
Nah, this. I mean, with Shaq, I mean, you look at Shaq. Cause you look at Shaq with the Lakers. If you put Shaq at the five, if you put Shaq at the four, Kareem at the, at the three. I mean, at the five. And then you go Kobe and you go Magic. Hell, you throw anybody else in there, James Worth, whoever you want, they don't do something with that.
Ocho
It'll be tough. I mean, in today's era, It'll be tough.
Joe
Yeah, yeah, because they run them out, you know,
Ocho
but back then when you were playing with two traditional be, they
Joe
might not lose a game. Well, yeah, we are. Because three of the. Well, four of them played together. Because you look at Manu, Tony, Parker, Duncan, and Kawhi, they all play together. It'll almost be like Olympics. You know, we going over there, we're just putting our best players together. And them joker been playing together.
Ocho
Damn right they were. Hell.
Joe
Oh, yeah. What about what you call them? Where's our. Schedule? Release. The one that who Cincinnati playing. All right.
Ocho
Oh, it did. It supposedly came out today.
Joe
Yesterday.
Uncle Joe
Yeah, it came out.
Joe
Yeah, we'll do. We'll do that tomorrow. We'll do that tomorrow. Because we'll probably be a little light.

Date: May 16, 2026
Hosts: Shannon Sharpe (often referred to as “Joe”/“Unc”), Chad “Ocho” Johnson (“Ocho”), and a rotating co-host panel for “Nightcap Hour 2”
This episode dives deep into two major topics:
(03:08–34:22)
Miles Turner’s Revelations
“Guys were late all the time. Guys were, you know, showing up to film whenever they wanted... It was one of the craziest things I personally experienced. If the plane took off at 2 o’clock, we weren’t leaving till 4:30. Guys are an hour late to the plane.” (03:38)
“Giannis is going to show up whenever he wants... That probably had a lot to do with why Doc resigned.” (04:09–06:25)
Implications for Leadership & Accountability
“He’s the leader of your team... If I’m late, they’re going to think that’s acceptable.” (05:17–09:14)
“If the animals runnin’ the zoo, how we gonna keep everything in order?” (06:44)
Old-School Perspective vs. “Player Empowerment” Era
“Normally your ass gets left. I don’t care who you are... That ain’t normal, bro. That’s not normal.” (07:28)
“That’s the behavior of a guy who says 'F y’all, I don’t want to be here.’” (07:44)
Locker Room “Code” and Breaching It
“Most of those things that happen in locker rooms are supposed to be ... in-house.” (09:49)
Leadership by Example
“I watched the guys... that’s the leader I want to be. Because I know the young guys are watching me. If I’m sleeping in meetings and I’m still playing at an elite level, if I’m late, they’re gonna think that’s acceptable.” (09:14–09:37)
Respect (or Lack Thereof) for Doc Rivers
“It tells me about the Milwaukee Bucks players, man, they ain’t respect Doc... If you respect your head coach bro... your ass gonna be on time. Period, point blank.” (12:25–12:43)
Cultural Differences: NBA vs. NFL
“It’s a lot of leniency when it comes to basketball... We ain’t got no curfews. It’s a little different.” (17:23–17:46)
Fundamental Principle: Don't Abuse Privileges
“Part of being a great player is to have privileges and don’t abuse them.” (23:02)
Impact on Team and Image
“This is very disheartening for me to have this on Giannis... It’s hard because we have a perception of people.” (34:04)
