[A]

Oh.

[E]

Oo and still king ISO. Hello.

[B]

[E]

Then you later realized you let get away.

[B]

Perfect for you and everything that you

[F]

dropped the ball on.

[E]

Hey, listen, I may have let one or two get by. I, I, well, I may have not been ready. Okay. I feel like I've had, you know, I've had a couple decent in my day, Uncle Ocho. But hey, it must not been meant to be.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Can't be mad at God. We, we say trust God and everything, but when women get away, we don't trust God. Now, Fact, you know, sometimes you. There's an old proverb that says you measure 10 times and cut once as opposed to cutting 10 times because you measured once.

[E]

Hello.

[B]

Of course, of course. Had I known what I. If, had I known then what I know now, that's the thing about hindsight. It's a magnificent science. It's perfect because, you know, today what you didn't know yesterday?

[E]

Mm.

[B]

So. Yes, but it happens. And at the time, you don't think about, like, you letting something good go because all you know is that, hey, you arguing or you, you, you. You know, you said in your way. She's setting hers. Everybody trying to prove a point. I ain't moving off my. Hey. I ain't moving on my square.

[E]

Hey, hey. That boy real cancer.

[B]

I ain't moving.

[E]

I know exactly what you mean.

[B]

I mean, Ocho, you can only. At the end of the day, you can only Keep one of them twelves. You don't have about 50 of them, but you can only keep one.

[F]

Hey, hey, listen, I. I always say listen every. Everybody. I think you, you. You're supposed to experience everybody. That. That's about it.

[B]

Hey, hey.

[F]

Keep keeping them a long time. It's just, it's.

[E]

Hey, unless. Unless you kneel and you can talk to them and make them all get along.

[B]

I wouldn't want those situation like that. I ain't.

[E]

Even though that should sound like a headache, don't it seem like a headache?

[F]

Don't it got to be,

[B]

you know.

[F]

Hey, hey. When you think about it though, Uncle Joe, does anybody ever really get away? Because whoever's for you is going to always be for you, no matter what.

[B]

You right about that.

[F]

Because if they no longer here, they're not here for a reason. And when I look at it, anything that what people would consider. Oh, you lost. Well, hell, how come ain't nobody else picked it up,

[E]

man? Listen, for me, I'm gonna keep it real with y'. All. There has not ever been a woman that has ever came before basketball or me training. I don't, I don't. I don't give a damn how you cut it. You can boohoo and cry in my face, but I'm finna go to the gym and I'm finna go hit these weights. Doing that all day long, that's gonna come before anything. That's how I eat, bro. Yeah.

[B]

I'm telling you like granny used to tell us, the more you cry, the less you pee. So. Hey, hey. So all that boohoo. So, hey, guess what? You're gonna have to give yourself a headache. But I'm going to get this training session in.

[E]

Yes, I'm doing that. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

And. And I hate. Oh, he fumbled. He, ah. I punted. You know, I got the third down, I got the fourth down. I realized I didn't have a good, good enough play called oo. So I punted.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

I don't understand. You know, it's so funny. I hate when people say, oh, you fumble something like when. When you play a game of football, there's multiple balls that they use in the game. Multiple.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Hey, you fumble one, God damn you. You catch the next one.

[B]

Yeah, I didn't fumble. As a matter of fact, I put it on first down. I already realized I wasn't gonna get no yards. Oh, Joe. I already knew, Joe. I knew I could go get. I said, you know what? Yeah. Ain't no sense of me, boop.

[E]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

And I'm sure people look back and they're like, man, I had an opportunity. I dated Joe. I dated Ocho. I dated Unc Black, Ben. Hey, you weren't ready. We weren't ready. I've had a conversation many years ago with a couple of my ex, like, hey, we were just both too young. Shannon. We just both too young. You're right. Let's take a listen to the second one. What up, nightcap fam? What up, Unc? Ocho. Joe, my question is a little bit hypothetical. How would y' all feel if we were able to add Brandon Ayuk and Stefan Diggs? Let's say if IU gets cut, like, within, like, the next two weeks, boom. How would you feel if Washington was able to add them to the wide receiver core group? And then how successful do you think we will be able to be? You know, Give me your thoughts. Let me know about that. Ocho, I got a little bit of beef with you because you took Terry out of your top 10 receivers list. Very mad at you with that. Because y' all keep playing with my boy. Terry McLaurin's name. Stop playing with my boy's name. I'm gonna get Joe to go lump up your other eyes so you can't see out of your other eye. Stop playing with my man Terry. Ocho, what you think if they got IUK and Diggs in Washington?

[F]

Damn, I think it would be good. I mean, they didn't have Diggs and IUK last year, and they were successful in the passing game. Obviously, Jaden Daniels did get hurt, and they still had some success at the receiver position. Still, I think adding another weapon, maybe two, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

[E]

Hey, hold up. Even with the unpredictability of iu.

[F]

Yeah. When he's on the field, he like that.

[E]

Well, damn. When last time he played Ojo, he got hurt.

[B]

What? He get hurt, Joe?

[F]

He got hurt.

[B]

He got hurt. Cause he didn't play nothing. He got his. He got hurt, too.

[E]

I'm saying he got his money.

[B]

First to second game.

[E]

He got his money and laid down.

[B]

He didn't play this year.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

So it'll be two years. He'd have been out two years.

[F]

Two. Not one, huh?

[B]

He missed all last year. He got hurt. I think, like game three or four. So he played this season. So it'll be like two seasons since he last played.

[F]

Damn. You know, what brand are you. Are you gonna get.

[E]

That's what I'm saying.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, I don't Know what happened in that situation, Ocho?

[F]

Yeah, I still don't know. Stephon Diggs coming off a thousand yard season, right? You know what he can do? He can contribute as well. And Jaden Daniels is man, Jayden Daniels is good boy. As long as he stay healthy, ain't no telling what's gonna happen.

[B]

Something good will happen if he stays healthy. Here's the third one. Let's take a listen to the third one.

[F]

Sharp. Ocho, ISO.

[B]

What's good, man? Mr. Sharp, come on now, man.

[F]

And to prove your point, you would

[B]

negated a lot of facts and said

[F]

none of them young players are doing anywhere.

[B]

Those young players there when LeBron got there. Because I'm a ladies fan. I'm not LeBron's fan, okay?

[F]

You said none of them.

[B]

You named Kuzma. That's the only player. So bi's nowhere not doing something he's not. He didn't get a big contract and he could have made this the series different that he played. Randall's not doing something where he's at right now. He didn't help out in the last

[F]

series and show out Heart's not in

[B]

New York being a key piece. Stop it, stop it. LeBron does not like young players. Everybody knows that. He doesn't have the patience for him.

[F]

He might end up in Al Davis

[B]

owners if he get team. Yes, but here's the problem. Is that what you're looking at? B needs the ball Jew. Randall needed his own team. And LeBron is right. Who when the last time somebody won with a first or second year player, Joe, Unless you Magic Johnson. But look what Magic had. Magic was a first year player. Look at Kareem had been in the league. Norm Nixon had been in the league. Kareem Abdul Jabbar had been in the league. So LeBron used like, okay, and see, you're not gonna see in today's game. You don't give guys graces like, oh, he ain't winning. Look at all the talent that he got. That's why he didn't want Andrew Wiggins. He like, go get me Kevin Love. Give me, go get me somebody that's already been in the league. That's been a proven commodity. No, these guys were phenomenal. But I don't believe they could have done there. Because B, I needed his own team. Some guys just need their own team. And that's okay. That's okay.

[E]

And, and those guys needed the growth and maturity. They were so young, bro. They weren't gonna be able to win right away. And Braun ain't had time no that man already.

[B]

That was your 15 year. 15 or 16.

[E]

Yeah. He. He ready to win any team he goes to. He was ready to win right away, and they just wasn't ready.

[B]

Right. He's like Sam Cassell. Tell me the best that's on Camp catale team. Hakeem Elijah 1. Kenny Smith, Nick Maxwell, Otis Thorpe. And then what did they go do next? Robert. Robert or Robert or then they go get Clyde to glide. Yeah, they were a veteran team. Ah, you trying to. You trying to win with those young. It's just hard. He didn't have four years like y' all gave Shay, y'. All. They still expect the man to work. Milk is at 41. You think y' all gonna get that man? Y' all thought y' all was gonna get that man. Grace Joe at 33? No.

[E]

Hell no.

[B]

No. Let's take a listen to the last one.

[F]

I don't remember. I don't remember. I'm being honest.

[B]

Too damn positionless. Draft. Who are y'? All? Draft. And who would win? Magic Curry, SGA, Jordan, Kobe Braun, D. Wade, KD, Bird, Duncan, KG, Rodman, Shaq, Kareem Wimby, my five of LeBron, Kobe, KD, Rodman and Shaq.

[B]

You talking about a modern game? Because if you talk about a modern game, I ain't putting no Robin nowhere Near the team. No,

[E]

me neither, man. I'm going Kobe, Jordan, and my three. I'm probably gonna go Braun KG in my four, and Shaq at the five.

[B]

Shaq at the five.

[E]

Boy, I ain't losing the game.

[B]

Positionless draft. So if you say position, it's got to be. It's got to be. It's got to be in today's game because you ain't paying no positionless draft in the 70s and 80s. You get killed. I'll take braun jordan, kobe. Nah. Braun, jordan, curry, Shaq, kd.

[A]

All?

[B]

Y' all know why God is late? He doing too much freaking. What trade was worse, the Luca Trade or the 49ers? Trey Lance. Trademark. Well, the problem is, is that even though trading up against Trey Lance was bad, they took Brock Purdy to the seventh round, so ain't nobody gonna really. So it really didn't hamper them. Yeah, the Luca, the guy they traded for him, they already traded him. You traded him. But they say, you know what? It's all good. We got Lucas replacement in Cooper flag, so we good.

[E]

That's why they traded him. They got that number one pick.

The Michael Vick Experience was alive.

[E]

Well,

[F]

you had to be there.

[B]

What's up, Nightcap? My question is, I've been wondering, although it's been a while since the event, why Unc hasn't mentioned any word of the World Athletic Relays that happened in Botswana. Since you're a track fan, big names weren't there, but still, yes, Botswana guys. You guys did an unbelievable job, y'. All. Hey, y', all, y', all, y' all challenge the world record. That South African PLA. Uh, that ran the, uh, 4666 on the fly broke Michael Johnson's unbelievable 42. 93. I mean, if you watched it, he went by Tobogo like he was standing still. And Tobogo ran 43.5 and he went. I mean, and he went by him like he was standing still. So damn. We're gonna have to be on our best behavior because, you know, our men and women now, we Normally run the 4x4. Yeah, we normally run. That a Rye Ryan's running over for, I think at the pre. I think Rye. I think Quincy Hall, I think Michael Norman, I think Bailey. I think about four of those. Yeah, they're gonna run to four. Our women, y' all get a reprieve. Cause Sid is expecting her first child. So she say, you know what? This is a throwaway year. Let me go ahead and get this baby out the way. I'm gonna come back and put foots in all of y', all, y' all know what time it is. So I see y' all just make sure y' all know when we had 27 is the world Championships. I don't even know where they are, but 28 in LA. She said, I'll be ready. She said, I'll be ready. He said, y', all, y', all, they. What they should have done is giving her an opportunity to try to double in the four hurdles and this open four. That's what they should. That's what they should have done. And she pulled that off. She the greatest. She the greatest female Olympian ever to do the 4 4. Yeah, it ain't close. And she would all. And that'll be. She'd be a three time Olympic gold medalist in the hurdle. The world record. And she's what, not far off the world record now in the 400. So she could potentially have the world record in the four hurdles and the open four. Many thought that a Coke's record of would never be broken. Yeah, man, that's right. Enjoy. I know you. You probably both swanning and you know, you talk about to Bogo and hippie. I know you feeling good about yourself, but we got something for you. We got something for y'.

ISO, do you prefer rest or to keep momentum going? Considering OKC having more than a week to rest, facing the spurs in the conference finals?

[E]

Hell, yeah. No, I won't rest because the games are played at such a high level in the postseason, Meaning every possession counts.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

And the great teams understand that, bro. So you exert a lot of energy, you know, throughout these games. That's why you see some cats who play good early in the. In the first couple games in the series, and then once it gets later, hell, they so bogged down and tired because they exude so much energy throughout this whole series that they have a tendency to fall off. So, yeah, I take risk.

[B]

Why does Unk pretend Michael Jordan not to go does get accessed from LeBron? I don't get to have an opinion. So all the people. I just want to know, just help me understand this, Joe. So I get. I'm on clutches payroll because LeBron is my player, and I believe he's the goat. So anybody that's a professional athlete that do what I do, that says Jordan Nicole are to go, are they on Jordan Nicole's payroll or is it just me?

[E]

It's just you, bro.

[B]

I figured as much.

[F]

That's it.

[B]

Because you notice that the people came for Jordan, and don't nobody say, man, are y' all on Jordan payroll or they cake for Kobe? Are y' all on Kobe's foundation payroll? I mean, what's going on? Just me.

[E]

And.

[B]

And.

[E]

And they know. They know. It's just a little. It's an easy way for them to kind of get under your skin a little bit, you know?

[F]

Take a look. Take a look.

[E]

They like.

[B]

Hey, hey. They like when you. They like when you get a little

[E]

pissed off or, you know, when you get a little pissed off and start going at them, they

[B]

no everyday like, man, they begin you. I say, I Wish I. That 505 look real good in my

[E]

bank account right now.

[B]

Look real good.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, I guess Ant man learned from Braun to know when the fight is over. And with time left, Braun bowed out in 2018 against the Warriors. And now Ant man, the game was over. I.

[E]

Hey, look, I thought Ant man went out guns ablazing. Hell, he shot it 26 times. I thought he got up enough. I thought he got up enough FGAs, if you ask me.

[B]

You know, UNC was never late to meetings when he stopped Clint Porter from knocking on Mike door and told him to go run the alcohol out. Nah. Yeah, you know, been drunk a lot. You drunk like a damn fish. Yeah, there was some good times, though, like I said. But, but guys back then, they kind of listen to the veteran players now, Ocho, I don't know how much guys listen to the veterans in the locker room now. They kind of do their own thing now. It'll be a problem. It would be a problem for me, but, you know, guy was like, all right, all right, all right, Sean. We, we got it, we got it. We go. This, I don't know now, it'd be, it'd be tough.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Tough now, Ocho.

[E]

Yeah, yeah. And think about it. In the NBA, it's way tougher because if you're a veteran, you probably been in the league four, five years, you ain't but 24, 25.

[B]

Right?

[E]

Then you got a rookie coming in, he ain't but 22, 23.

[B]

Hell yeah. What you gonna tell him? He like, hey, and another thing, another thing, guys. If you're a veteran player and, and you got the young guy and the young guy is better than you, it takes a special type of a person to listen to someone that the young, that the person that I'm listening to. I'm better than him, but I feel he can impart wisdom on me. That's going to help me. Yeah, it's hard to get people that don't think they know everything, though. Ocho and Joe. Yeah, it is dog enough to know everything.

[E]

That's why it matters. It matters what team you go to. Because, man, me going to Boston my rookie year playing behind Eric Williams, I ultimately end up starting. But bruh, he was probably in my corner more than anybody, giving me pointers, telling me the do's and don'ts, things I need to do to be effective. You don't get that nowadays because. Hey, everybody competing for the same spot, right?

[B]

What's up, ISO? Chad, my nephew Wesley. Wesley is graduating when it was prom king and got a full scholarship. Can you give him a shout out? Absolutely. Wesley, congratulations. Scholarship and prom king. God dang.

[E]

I don't think either that's what's happening.

[B]

Was prom king. You prom king. Oo, hell no. Go to school, Joe. You prom king. Nah, nah, nah.

[E]

I told y' all I was homecoming king. Y' all gave me hell behind the homecoming king.

[B]

Yeah, that don't count. Basketball, homecoming don't count. What? Hell no, boy.

[E]

Well, y' all tough crowd, boy. Damn.

[B]

No, no, no, no, no, no. That completes this episode of Nightcap. Well, we know who's gonna be in the Western Conference finals thanks to a 139, 109 victory on the road in Minnesota.
