[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

The big boy, man. But when he's healthy. When he's healthy and he's on that court.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Window.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You know what you get?

[Joe Johnson]

You need a fresh start win. Give him a fresh start when he.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Get a New Jersey on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You know, they could be down hitting that, man.

[Joe Johnson]

All right, here we go. Here we go.

[Shannon Sharpe]

This joker wanted be. He want Yanis.

[Joe Johnson]

This man putting an all star team together in Miami. Man, them folks ain't doing all that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Check this out. I don't know if you guys have heard. Michael Jordan will Be joining NBA on NBC and Peacock as a special contributor. Jordan, the Bulls won six titles, He's a five time champion and he's regarded as the goat. What version of MJ will we get on air? What you expecting? I mean. Yeah, he was. Because think about it. I think the NBA hadn't been on NBC since what, 02? Cause the NBA used to be on NBC well before it was on cbs. I remember when they had Bill Russell used to commentate with Brett Musburger. That was before your time, Joe. And then it went to NBC. Bob Costas, Marv Albert. Sideline reporting was Ahmad Rashad. I mean, I mean, we really, really never heard Mike really talk basketball. Not in a. Not in a. In a professional setting. Not in, you know, he's sitting around, you know. Yeah, you hang out with him. He talk ball like that. Right. But cameras, action, people around. I don't know. I don't know what to expect.

[Joe Johnson]

I think he going to be. I think he gonna be very blunt, honest on there, like, you know, just telling kind of how he really see the game. Like.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't think so, Joe.

[Joe Johnson]

I think, I think it's gonna be pretty entertaining. Okay. Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think people are gonna tune in because they wanna hear Jordan talk. Cause I mean, outside. I mean, we really never heard Jordan talk except in a press conference or except after a game. You know what I'm saying? We've really never heard him in a studio and he's asked to give a critique or an analyst or, or analyze what particular what happened in the game or what this player did. What. You know, I like this player. I like Kobe, he like LeBron, he like this, he like that. But to ask to critique and analyze a game. We've never heard him do this, Joe. But, but I'm not saying that he can't because obviously the man has a tremendous basketball iq.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, I mean, this is. It's going to be interesting just to hear his views, his points based on what he's seeing. Being able to critique while being fake.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I wonder if they're gonna call him a hater when he calls somebody out. Cause you know, they call everybody else a hater.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, it all depends on. It all depends on how far he goes in his assessments on players or what's going on. He's gonna pick and choose the way he wants to commentate and analyze as well. He might not want to put himself in position where he has to critique people in that manner, the way, the way most analysts and punish Barkley does. I, I think I think it's gonna be funny. It's gonna be funny.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm, I'm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I just want to hear, I just want to hear. I just want to hear him, his take, cuz. Because I think the thing is, the, the, the thing is, is that a lot of times people think the greater you are at something, the more opin. Opinionated and easier it is. But we know from football some of the greatest guys that have ever played the game can't talk about the game.

[Joe Johnson]

Right, right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And it's funny how that works because a lot of times like, like bodybuilding, I'm a big bodybuilding fan. A lot, A lot of times bodybuilders can train themselves, but they can't train somebody else.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, that's me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So it's, I'm anxious, I'm really anxious to see and to hear Jordan his critique and his analysts of the game and players in today's game.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, me too. But I do, I do, I expect for it to be blunt, Uncle Ocho. I expect for him to really tell it how it is because maybe he'll draw the analysis as far as, like when back when he played in today's game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I know he don't like that. Three.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, I know he. Three bar. So, yeah, I'm excited too, man. I think it's going to be fun because it's a whole generation, especially today, who never even got a chance to see him play, so.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Or heard him speak. Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Or even heard him speak. So, yeah, I think this is going to be great for the basketball world for sure.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He different. I mean, if you've never been around him, he talk ish about everything.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Big time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm talking wrong. I'm talking about from what you got on you, playing cards. I mean, there ain't nothing that he ain't talking ish about.

[Joe Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And he want to bet, gamble on everything. How long did they get from point A to point B? Man? Come on, dude, I just, I, I'm just here, man. Hey, how y' all doing? How everybody doing, man? I ain't coming to bet no money, man. Hey, he, He's a bear, like I said. I mean, seeing him on television don't do him justice. You gotta see him in person to get a sense and a feel of who and what this man is. I've never seen anything like it.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, it's different, bro. It's different. I ain't gonna lie to you. Look, I had the pleasure to be around him on numerous occasions and I just kind of sat back and Watched, you know, I didn't ask a lot of questions, Ojo. Like, you know, we had things we would do in the summer, whether it was Brand Jordan, athletes taking vacations together or us just meeting up, hanging out. And every time, bro, I just be. I would just be like, just watching, just. Just trying to pick up any and everything because as he's talking, he's giving game at the same time, you know, he, he, he. He take us out to eat and we sit there and we talk. And he'll tell you, you know, hey, look, man, all you gotta do is average five to six points a quarter, man. That was 20, 24 points a game. Like, it ain't easy. I mean, it ain't hard. You know, we make the game hard. But he broke it down and had the work ethic to prove it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But, yeah, does he seem. Does he seem real?

[Joe Johnson]

No, it really didn't a lot of times, because Ocho, that's who. You know, as a kid, I grew up watching, you know, watching all them Bulls games. Like, I said, they played on WGN or something like that. And I know we had that channel they was on almost every night. So for me, he was like a hero, bro. It's like he wasn't even real. So to get the opportunity to rep the Jordan brand and being a part or to be in that circle like that was. I can't even describe it, bro. We had such a great time. But, yeah, he didn't seem real. He didn't seem real.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He doesn't. Ocho, I'm telling. Listen, I've met. Talk to Denzel face to face, had a conversation. Samuel Jackson, Oprah. I saw Victoria, David Beckham. I mean, I've seen some of the biggest stars in the world. I've never seen anybody. It's like he levitating. I'm like, he don't Ultra. I'm. Man, this man glowing. You remember how Bruce Leroy, how he would grow, how he was glowing? He showed up how he was glowing? Yes. Oh, I swear. I swear.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And I'm not gonna be blasphemous, but, boy, if you ever. If something. If you ever met him. But if Ocho, if you think about it, every athlete that ever meet him says the exact same thing about it.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, every.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So I thought it was just me. I was like, well, you know, hey, I'm. I'm just. I'm in the league. I made a couple of pro Bowls, Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I'm an all pro.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm a pretty good player. So I say, you know, Man, I'm starstruck. I'm awe.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But then I hear people that's hall of Famers and won championships feel the exact same way.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I said, okay, I ain't. It ain't no bull Jack. No, he for real. I mean. And like I said, he different. Cause I'm saying, you know, you think he gonna be like, hey, man, how you doing, bro? You just met me. You talking ish from the door, bro. You know what I'm saying, don't you? You ain't expected that.

[Joe Johnson]

That's him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I'm from. From the get. Yeah. I said, oh, my goodness. But like, yeah, you gotta. I've never met Tiger, so I don't know how that'll be, but I can't imagine. I can't imagine it'll be. The only thing I probably could compare it to would probably be the other mj, the og mj, Michael Jackson. Yeah, that's probably the only thing that.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I can compare it to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because Mike was the only one that people. People pay all that money to go to the concert and don't watch it. Cause they fainted. The man come out there and just stand and people were just fighting.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, it was different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So that I think that would probably be the only thing comparable to it. I had the fortune of meeting Jay Z and, and, and, and. And Beyonce. Like I said, I've met, you know, Big, Big, Big. Had a conversation with Jeff Bezos. Ain't nothing like mj, bro. I'm sorry.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm sorry. Yeah.

[Degree Representative]

Hey, so we all make mistakes, but owning up is the right thing to do. You know Degree Cool Rush deodorant? Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go well with their fans.

Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does, because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition.

And Degree listen, they admitted they effed up and are bringing the original cool rust back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4.

There's a reason why it's been the number one men's Annie purse print for the last decade. It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about.

Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG Degree Cool Rush for yourself.

Cause he.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cause the way he bet, the way he bets, Ocho, he gonna bet whatever's gonna make you feel uncomfortable, right?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Hey, listen. And you know what? I lived my life being. I've gotten comfortable being uncomfortable, so that's not gonna work with me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, no, when that man said familiar. See, I don't know. I've seen a million dollars cash.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

That's fine.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And I ain't really trying to do anything for a million Dollars, cash. Listen, I ain't trying to shoot no one shot. I ain't trying to play no pool. I ain't trying to play no ice hockey. I ain't trying to play no Madden. It's a whole different ball game. You notice like in the World Series of Poker, when it gets down to the final table, what they do? O, they bring that 8 million, that $10 million out in cash and they put it on the table.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Just, just imagine, Ocho, they. Your salary. They put your whole salary up there. They said, okay, now win this game, you get that? If you don't, we take it.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, I like it, I like it. Listen, I like my chances. One on one. Anything. Right now with him, with Jordan, right now, I don't. You don't?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Be honest with yourself, you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Matter of fact. Matter of fact. Say, say, are you sure? Who you got right now? Your horse Shoot around one on one. Me and Jordan.

[Joe Johnson]

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

With all due respect, holla at your boy, man. Let's do something, man. I need to prove myself to these, these folk, man. Talk about.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All right.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Lord, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bill Simmons predicts the Lakers would trade Austin Reeves when Reeds get traded this summers. And he will get traded. The stuff the Lakers get back for him gonna make it seem worse than the Mavericks didn't get in the trade. And now the Knicks Heat Clippers are among the favorites to land Austin Reeves.

[Joe Johnson]

The who? Knicks. He Clippers.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Because he's not going to sign. He won't. He knows that. I'll wait a year and get and get and get that bag.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm saying what can they give him this summer? What's the max they can give him this summer?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, like 20 million a year, I think like 20 and he. And he go, he worth 40.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, we playing a different game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He signed a three. He signed a three year deal, 54 million. So he, he basically making, well 16 now.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I don't know.

[Joe Johnson]

Really gonna get for.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Him outside this year. Next year if he offside of it, he can make 42 next to you. No, he got one more. He got to play one more year. Now if he got he outside, he can make 42 a year. He's opting out. He'd be fooling not to.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, just like old Jew Julius Randall. He gonna opt out too?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You say you think Junior's gonna.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, he did.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, yeah, yeah, he did. Okay. Okay. Damn.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm saying he hopped out this year. I'm saying Julius and re up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure.

[Joe Johnson]

He can opt in at 30 million, I think. But the way he playing, he know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He gonna get nah someday. I pay him 200. For real. I mean, why trade. Why trade it to the Clippers? What do the Clippers have that you want? The Knicks? I mean, what. What are you gonna get? You. You. I mean, I don't see them trading you. They might. Would they trade you Mikhail Bridges and Josh Hart? I mean, they could use some perimeter defense. Yeah, they definitely need that.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, they got. They got to get better than that end. But I mean, the Knicks still playing. Well, you know why we even talking about them? They.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I guess because Bill Simmons put them as one of the teams that's going to get Austin Reeves on the trade. Okay, Ocho. More reports have emerged of the Steelers trading George Pickens to Dallas. Significant locker room guys got fed up with Pickens antics and quickly turned. And quickly got turned off by him for multiple reasons. Some felt it would be counterproductive to keep him around even with his unique talent. They felt the locker room could turn toxic. Not many teams were interested in trading for Pickens, making it difficult for the Steelers to get market value. The Steelers wouldn't have traded him for anything less than a third round pick, something that wasn't offered until after the draft. Not many were broken up within the organization about Pickens got traded. Pickens went off on ig. They're the cheapest organization. Ain't no stacking year after year. They gonna let them ends go too. As soon as it's time. Do you. Do you like pickets throwing more gas on the fire?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Hey, yeah. Throw it long.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I would have just let it go. I just let it. Just let it go. O listen, hey. Let, let.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Listen. They. They got reports coming out about him. Let him throw some gas on the fire right back. All you got to. All you got to do. Let's see. Just show up everybody wrong.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You not surprised by this? You know this. You've been in the locker room. We see. We're not talking. We're not people that. That didn't play the game that was in locker rooms. We know what's being said. That's why I feel very comfortable when I'm saying certain things and people ask me how I know because I was in a locker room and I know. I just, you know, human behavior, Ocho. You know? Human behavior. Oh, Joe. Just like basketball, you know, the guys like, boy, I sure wish they. Get your ass up out of here. You bad. You bad for morale, man. I mean, damn.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, they ain't got nothing going on over there anyway, so. Hey.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Sometimes you just. Look, Ocho, just take the high road.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And keep it moving.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, you're right. You're right, you're right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Keep it moving.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You know, they. Somebody slapped you, turn the other cheek. Okay, cool.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nah, look, but. But I know the type of behavior that I exhibited in the locker room. I know if I was late for meetings, if I late with practice, if I was late for a team function, if I was late to the plane. You know, all of that. You know, that irks people. That rubs people the wrong way because they're saying, hold on. Why is your time more important than mine? If I gotta be here at 8:45, if I gotta be to the team playing, if I gotta be here, why can't you? If T.J. watts thinking and Cam Haywood is thinking, man, if I gotta do all this. And you mean to, bro. Really, it's just. I don't know. I just. I. I would just. I would just let it go. Hey, I've been a lot of places, Ocho. Hey, people go. People gonna say things and. And. And. And ain't no refuting that. Just let it go. Cause you, you. Because here's the thing. If I defend myself, they gonna say, it must be true. If I don't, if it ain't, they gonna say, why you comment? Yeah, so I'm gonna lose. Lose either way. So I just rather lose my way. But, you know, like you said, if that's the way Pickett choose to handle you, say, hey, I fired shots back at two. I just choose to lose my way. Forget it. Cause everybody. Everybody's gonna have something to say.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Always. Always.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Rams Jared Verse says he thinks about the Eagles loss every day. It crosses my mind about three times a day. I think about how if I did this or I did that, we could have won. If Saquon's big run, opposite of the field. If it didn't hesitate off that bat, I could have caught him. I still. I could have been better. I could have stopped that. It upsets me every day because I could have won that game.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I mean, listen, they had opportunity. They had opportunity to the game on offense. They had opportunity, game. Listen, there, there's nothing you Mr. Verse, need to be, you know, sad or mad about or upset about, you know, you on. You on the right. The right path, brother. You are on the right path. Just continue to do what you're doing because you were phenomenal last year.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He was.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Hey, keep on building on that. Keep on stacking them, boy. Keep on stacking them.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely, man.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

He would know.

[Degree Representative]

Hey, so we all make mistakes, but owning up is the right thing to do, you know? Degree Cool Rush Deodorant? Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go well with their fans.

Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition and Degree Listen.

They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original cool rust back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4.

There's a reason why it's been the number one men's Annie purse print for the last decade. It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about.

Head to your Local Walmart or Target to try the OG degree. Cool rush for yourself.

That idiot. Thank you guys for joining us for another episode of Nightcap. As you watch the New York Knicks take a 3 1, a commanding 31 series lead 121113 over the Boston Celtics. Jayson Tatum goes down late in the ball game with an injury. It did not look good. We don't want to speculate but it did not look good. Also Minnesota on the road takes a commanding 31 lead 117 to 110 thanks to 30 points from Ant Man, 31 points from Julius Randle and they look to close it out on Wednesday back in Minnesota. Also Boston looks try to keep their hopes alive enforce a game six, but it doesn't look promising without Jayson Tatum. Thank you guys for joining us for another episode of Nightcap.

[Degree Representative]

Have you heard about this? Last year, ° changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. Their fans rebelled and wanted the old SIM back and Degree Listen, that doesn't happen often.

They admitted that they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason it's the number one men's antiperspirant and is back in Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4.

So try in and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local stores to try the OG Cool Rush for yourself.
