  • “Neka been in the game. She’s a former MVP... I don’t think she’s ever made the US Women’s team to go play in the Olympics.” — Joe [06:32]
• Liberty Depth Questioned: New York’s stars played well (Stewart, Sabally, Jones), but the team collapsed late. “I’m trying to figure out the Liberty... They got a big team, but...” — Joe [07:55]

[Joe Johnson]

Goodbye. The Mystics beat the Link 8479, but our girl, Olivia Miles finished with 22 points, 6 assists. 6 assists. Despite the loss, she got high praise for KG. Olivia Miles is one of the best rookies in all of basketball, NBA or WNBA. Olivia Miles is averaging 18.3 points a game, 5 rebounds, almost 6 assists over 16 games, shooting 54 from the field while powering the links to a 13 and 4 record. Without Nephisha Collier Fee, she's the fastest WNBA rookie to reach 300 points and 75 rebounds and 75 assists. She's special, man. She got wiggle Joe. She got wiggled like a guy. And I think that's the greatest compliment you can play. You can pay a young lady. Yeah, you watch her and you watch out the fluidity in which she moves like. That's not a woman's basketball player. That is a guy. She grew up playing against guys. She had to. To be able to move like this.

[Chad Ochocinco]

She can stop on the dime. She gets you leaning one way. She got them subtle. Them subtle hitches in her game. Like she really can play, bro. Like, when you watch somebody, it's like, you know, even in like a combine setting, you probably wouldn't see a whole lot, but once you put them out there on the court and watch them play five on five, playing live action and how they read and react, that's her. She can read and react to pick and roll. Great. She great in isolation. And man, she.

[Onplus Nicotine Pouches Announcer]

She.

[Chad Ochocinco]

She killing wnba. She. She fun to watch. She's.

[Joe Johnson]

She's special, man, I'm surprised. I mean, the Mystics aren't that good. I mean, Sonya Citron, she can play, but they haven't. You know, they're 8 and 7. They were 500 coming into the ball game. The links are 13 and 4, playing very good. You know, they got a nice guy. Natasha Howard, Kayla McBride, obviously, Olivia Miles, she's go. They might as well just go ahead and hand her rookie of the year. The rookie of the year. And guess what?

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Joe Johnson]

She gonna be a wnba. All NBA. WNBA player.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

All WNBA player and a rookie season.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I can see that. If they keep. They keep winning. I know they lost today, but they keep winning. Okay. Oo. Oh, yeah, no question. You know, they.

[Joe Johnson]

They they.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They reward you for that any damn way. Yeah, yeah, and you can play too.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

She.

[Joe Johnson]

She can flat out play, man. She just. Hey, the way she move, I just. Like, just what? Hey, and she be talking cash.

[Chad Ochocinco]

She do.

[Joe Johnson]

Bro, you can't effing guard me.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, she can go. She can go guard me. She can go.

[Joe Johnson]

They can't. So you. Hey, you be. You be doing it. You be doing it to him and I love it. She's. Like I said, she. She's unbelievable. Neca Guma K hit a three pointer at the buzzer to lift the Los Angeles sparks to a 9897 victory over the New York Liberty on Sunday night in the anniversary of the league's first game that featured the same two teams. The Sparks, who lost the inaugural game to deliver the 1997 trail by 17 points in the third quarter, rallying behind a Guma Case who finished with 24 points on the final play. Erica Wheeler drove and passed it out to a gooma K who calmly sank a three point shot just as the. Just before the buzzer from The Wing had 12 of her points in the final 3 minutes and 50 seconds of the ball game.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, hey, she could play too. What?

[Joe Johnson]

She still could play. Cuz, you know, Neca been in the game. She's a former mvp, and you we talked about. Touched on a little bit earlier, Joe. I. I don't think she's ever made the US Women's team to go play in the Olympics.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, okay, okay.

[Joe Johnson]

And so she still feel. I'm sure she still feels some type of way about that, and rightfully so. But Stewie for the Liberty had had 18, Zabali had 14, Jean Jones had 18. Inescu still coming back, nursing off that surgery. But they had, you know, they got what, 30, 32 points from the bench. Yeah, but Aguma K20 4. Derek. Derek Hamby, 12, Erica Wheeler 15. Kelsey Plum, she had a coming off of a bad injury. Plum is. Atkins had 10 and Ray Burrow Burrell had 19. I thought this, I was like, ain't no way they win in this game. I'm not so sure how they. How they did it, Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I don't either. I didn't get to see. I didn't get to see this game. It was a good one, huh?

[Joe Johnson]

It was a good game because like I said, they had this big ass lead and so I'm just thinking, okay. And the next thing I know, I come downstairs and ask like, well, this is a great game. It's only a two point game. I said two Point game.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Second half killed them. Yes, the second half. Cause New York obviously had a pretty decent lead in that first half, that second half. And Spark got back in.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm trying to figure out the Liberty though. I mean you got Stewart, you got Sabala, you got Jean, Quel Jones. I mean they. They got a big. They got a big team.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They do, bro. And they got a bunch of girls who go.

[Joe Johnson]

And you know, John Qu. Jones has been an mvp. Stewie has been a two time mvp. Jones was finals MVP a couple years ago. Yeah, they got a really good team. I. I think still a Nescu. She's got to get back into the swing of things.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, she get back into that rhythm, it's going to take them to another level because they've been playing great ball.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Jackie Young scored 21 points and Asia Wilson added 19 points. Nine rebound to help the Aces cruise to a 9273 victory over the Golden State Valkyries. Young did not have a turnover and made nine or 12 shots which with with three three pointers she handed out five assists to pass Becky Hammond, second place all time on the Aces all time list with 11:36. Trailing only 11:79 from Chelsea Gray with who picked up nine assists to go with 15 points. Now Lisa Smith, a reserve Jewel lord. Both score 14 for the Aces who have won eight of their last nine. When.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, when them guards playing great for them Aces. Jackie Young, unbeatable and Chelsea Gray, you ain't beat. You ain't beating us when they play good. I'm talking about both of them playing good. You ain't beating them because Asia going to be consistent.

[Lilly Medicine Company Announcer]

You.

[Onplus Nicotine Pouches Announcer]

You.

[Joe Johnson]

And they ain't got Kennedy Carter who was. Who was going to be the sixth woman of the year. Yeah, she was. She was playing out of her mind.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What happened? She got hurt. Yeah, Nothing serious, right?

[Joe Johnson]

I think it was. Was it an ankle? Kennedy Carter? I think it was an ankle, Joe. I'm not sure. But Asia, 7 to 13, you know, she dislike work. Plus 27. Plus 27.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They. They handled them.

[Joe Johnson]

But she's the front runner for the mvp.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Asia. Yeah, she gonna be there every year as long as they. I mean they've been playing great ball too. 12 and 4. As long as they playing great ball.

[Joe Johnson]

And she gonna say it's left leg and hip for Kennedy Carter. Okay, because look, I think, I think. Don't they play the Liberty in the in done the. The Aces play the Liberty for the Commissioner's Cup, Right? I think that's who.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, that's gonna be A, A, that's

[Joe Johnson]

gonna be a good one, Barry. But, but like you said, Joe, when, when, when, when Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young playing. Because you already know what you're gonna get with Asia.

[Onplus Nicotine Pouches Announcer]

Yep.

[Joe Johnson]

She gonna get. She gonna. Yeah. You know, she gonna be somewhere. I mean, she didn't really need it. She only took 13 shots tonight.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest]

Excuse me.

[Joe Johnson]

But when she gets up in there that run that 18 shot mark and she's gonna make you. She gonna be somewhere around 22 to 28 points a night. Gonna probably give you double digit rebounds on a nightly ba. On a nightly basis.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yep.

[Joe Johnson]

She just. She's just. She's just an animal on the. I mean, she just. She's so smooth. She left handed. She. She's added a three even though she missed all her threes today. But she's cashing in. I think she might be shooting like 90 plus percent from the free throw line.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

She's added that three ball even though she was 02 today. But she's so. Hey, she got a nice midi, Joe. She can put the ball on the floor and get all the way to the rim. She'll up.

[Caller or Guest]

Hey.

[Joe Johnson]

She'll pump up and under you.

[Karen from My Favorite Murder]

She's.

[Joe Johnson]

She's just phenomenal.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I think when you watch girls play UNC and Ocho Ocho, you know, the girls, they're very technical in the things they do, you know, like as far as guys, we gonna swag it out. You feel me? We ain't. We. We gonna be shooting athleticism.

[Joe Johnson]

They can't. They ain't jumping. They ain't jumping. They ain't got no 40 inch verticals, so.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They ain't got them verticals. That's why they so technical and fundamentally sound. And boy, that's how Asia, she know how to use her body. She know how to use them shot bakes them step throughs it. Hey, it's hard. It's hard to hell. Even container at times.

[Lilly Medicine Company Announcer]

She.

[Chad Ochocinco]

She always gonna be in the MVP conversation, huh?

[Joe Johnson]

Always. She. You know what, Joe? She might be a situation where she leave the WNBA. She might have seven MVP. Seven, eight MVPs.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, yeah, I can see that.

[Joe Johnson]

She may have Gretzky. She might be like Gretzky because Gretzky got nine heart trophies.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Damn.

[Joe Johnson]

Barnes got seven. You know Kareem got six.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Peyton Manning got five. I can see her getting. I can see her getting seven to eight MVPs.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, I can see that too, man, the way she gonna dominate. Oh, I mean, every year she gonna be a mismatch.

[Joe Johnson]

So and her teams are gonna be good. Yep. So she's gonna win enough games, and her stats are gonna warrant it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yep.

[Joe Johnson]

And guess what? They add more games. She might be a situation because she's the first WNBA player to have a thousand points in the season.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You're right.

[Joe Johnson]

They're gonna play 50 games, I think, starting in 27, and they can go all the way up to 52.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So it's just, hey, it's similar to football here. When they first started out, how many games y' all they were playing?

[Joe Johnson]

12, 14, and then it went to 14, then the 16, and eventually they had 17. Now eventually they're gonna go to 18, so.

What's up? Night, Cat Fam, Unc, Ocho and still King ISO. Love the show. Been a subscriber since the beginning, so it's been amazing to see how much the show has grown. Joe. My parents would bring me to Hawks games all the time growing up, so I've been a fan of yours for a very long time. The question is, when are you all bringing the live show to Nashville? We would love to see you all down here, and I promise it's not as dangerous as Houston. Love the show.

[Onplus Nicotine Pouches Announcer]

Damn.

[Joe Johnson]

We actually really haven't thought. Haven't thought about it having a live show in Nashville, but we definitely gonna give it that some thought. I think. 27. I mean, we might do a couple of stops this year. We got some stuff brewing I don't want to mention. I don't want to, you know, jinx it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right, right.

[Joe Johnson]

A couple things brewing. Probably fall, probably around September. So keep on lookout. We're gonna keep you updated. We'll let you know something as we get closer probably around July. We should know something. End of July, early August, we should know something. So I think you're gonna be. I think you'll be very, very excited about that. As far as what Ocho and I did when we first started touring, I think 27, now that we got everything, you know, Joe integrated and. And taking it on the road, I think 27 is probably the most realistic chance. Obviously Atlanta will be back on it on the stop. Houston probably touch Philly, Detroit, huh? Oh, yeah, we're gonna be in. We're gonna be in fanatics, but we'll be in New York in July for fanatics fest.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, so hey, as long as. Ocho. Ocho. I'm coming with 14 ounce gloves just to let. Kind of let you know what I'm gonna have.

[Joe Johnson]

Joseph. You done with it, right? Let's take a listen to our third one.

[Caller or Guest]

Unc.

[Joe Johnson]

Ocho and Steel champion of the world.

[Caller or Guest]

Hello.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

I sold you.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yes, sir.

[Caller or Guest]

Hey, question. Do you think they will, Joshua? You think they would ever repel back those aprons? Because it's not just hurting all teams like the Lakers. That family business have to sell because of the apron. They couldn't keep up. And the small market teams keep hurting themselves. Like the first collective bargain. But they put in pin on these and broke up Oklahoma. Now it's breaking up, gonna break up OKC and it's gonna break up Boston because these aprons are hurting. They're trying to hurt the big market teams. They're hurting themselves, too. And I think Bird rights should ext school. If I draft four Kobe Bryants, I should be able to sign all for my Kobe Bryant without going into the apron.

[Joe Johnson]

What do you think?

[Chad Ochocinco]

That ain't.

[Joe Johnson]

That ain't gonna happen. No, they do not want. They do not want another Golden State. No, they don't want another Miami Heat.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No, super.

[Joe Johnson]

Don't let that happen. You can do it. But you see what Boston did.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Boston's gonna break this thing up. You saw, they got rid of Holiday, they got rid of Porzingas.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

They.

[Joe Johnson]

They let Horford go. They're going to probably end up trading. They're going to end up trading. Are they going to keep Derrick White? I don't know. I don't know. But I just know this. They'll let. They want you to have two, but they're not going to let you have three. Nope. And they're definitely not going to let you have what Golden State have with Steph Clay, Draymond and kd. No, that's not going to happen again. Now, if you want to spend 3,400 million dollars, they'll gladly accept it because the owners like, let's please go on in that apron. Please, please, please.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, no more.

[Joe Johnson]

I just don't see it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No more super teams, man. Hey, you. You. You gonna have to find a way. That's why you. You're gonna have to draft well. You're gonna have to have guys on these comfortable salaries that. That make sense because to have all these max guys, they ain't having that.

[Joe Johnson]

Nope. That's over with. And you're right. That's why. That's, you know, that's why they did it. The. The Bird rights. It's kind of like Ocho franchise tag. You get two franchise. I think what. You get two franchise tags and a transition.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Even though people don't really use the transition tag. I don't know the last time a team used two franchise tags, but, you know, you want to keep your guys you like. And it used to be you could sign, I think the Bird, Right. Wasn't it, Joe? You could sign a Bird, right. Player to as much and it didn't count against the cap.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was. It was like.

[Caller or Guest]

It was.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I think that was It. I think that was it. But, hell, I think only one. I don't think you can have no more than what, one guy with your bird rights?

[Joe Johnson]

I think so, yes. Yeah. So, yeah, OKC got three. And they in the apron. And you see, they got rid of. They got. Had to get off Wiggins because there's about to be 212 now they 152 teams don't want to spend. You hold on. I'm spending all this money. I'm fed shades making 50 a year. What's it called? Making 40 a year? Chad's making 40 a year. Then I got 20 here and I got 19 there. And then you want me to spend 200 million on top of that? No, no. Yeah, but that's. That's. That's how we're operating. I mean, if you look at it more times than not, you see businesses starting to. Or guys that's making you get a bomb. A Steve ballmer, he's worth 150 billion. Dude. That is the mom and pops. It's the same thing with the NFL. They're getting priced out. Yeah, it's hard. You see, if I'm not mistaken, I think Vegas just sold a huge percentage. The value is high. You see, the Giants. If I'm not mistaken, the Giants just sold. Just sold 10% for a billion dollars. It's getting harder and harder for mom and pop stores to remain solvent. You know, these big restaurants, they do the same thing. You know, mom and pop give you a nice, good, solid meal. You know what I'm saying, guys? Whether it's Italian or soul food or whatever case. And then, yeah, big shops, just take it over.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Let's take a listen to our fourth and final one.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I cap.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Unk.

[Joe Johnson]

Ocho. ISO, man. Ocho, be outside, man. Y' all need to get a camera on him. Anyway, if LeBron goes anywhere besides the Cavs, I think the media is going to be all against him. Is it time for him to go ahead and retire and focus on ownership? Appreciate you guys love the show. Peace.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Well, honestly, Uncle Joe, I mean, the media is always on him. Regards where he is. He's used to that. It's been his way, obviously, since he came out of high school. So I think stuff like that, especially when it comes to the media, he's been able to weather that storm. I don't think that doesn't change anything. He still wants to play.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He does.

[Joe Johnson]

And most of the time, guys retire when they can't find a suitor or they can't just play Anymore. That's when they look at it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

If, if, if Jordan felt he could still play, Jordan wasn't going to retire because he still had the passion. Kobe, he just said, my body broke down.

[Erin Andrews]

I can't.

[Joe Johnson]

He says, I can't do it anymore. Yeah, right. LeBron still believes he can do it. His body says, look, he got hurt last year, but other than that, he missed what, 17, 18 games. Other than that, he just didn't play back to backs. But he was relatively healthy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

And when you averaging 27 and 8, it's just hard to say, you know, go take a seat. It just is, guys.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You're absolutely right. I don't see him retiring no time soon. Meaning within the next two years. I think he gonna play at least another two years, Uncle Ocho.

[Joe Johnson]

At least he gonna get 25, too, Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, I think he. Because, you know, he's still playing at a high level. Outside of him missing them first, you know, 15 games of the season, man, I mean, hell, he playing high level basketball still, he's still doing something that we've never seen at 41 years old. I think he gonna continue defeat the odds and continue to prove people wrong. Yeah, I think he.

[Joe Johnson]

Go ahead, Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Go ahead. I think he enjoys, you know, he enjoys the seat where he's at. Meaning, like every bucket is in the history books, him having the lead. I'm telling y', all, man, Braun is. Not only is he great, but he's gonna be selfish enough to try and put this thing so far out of reach. Fellas, we thought we, we thought we wouldn't see nobody catch Kareem.

[Joe Johnson]

Nope. Definitely think anybody could play long enough or play at a level high enough.

[Chad Ochocinco]

There you go.

[Joe Johnson]

Because you're looking at it. Look at, look at Vince. Vince played 22 seasons, wasn't close. Robert Paris played 20 plus years. Kevin Willis played 20 plus years.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Nobody. Dirk played 20 plus years. Nobody. Nobody's like, nobody. Nobody is a Kareem. It took LeBron 40 years to break this record. Y' all do realize Kareem broke this record right here in Las Vegas at Thomas and Mack against the utah jazz in 1984. It took nobody breaking that record, and nobody's gonna get it. Nobody's gonna play long enough. Nobody is going to be healthy enough to play long enough to score that consistent number of points to be able to do that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Nope.

[Joe Johnson]

Yes. So he, he's. He's gonna try to, he's gonna try to put it out there for. I'm gonna try to put it out there.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

You're gonna try to put it. He gonna try to put. What's he at, 41,000, 42,000. I wouldn't be surprised. He tried to get to 44, 45. Yeah. He's like, if you get me at 45, ain't nothing I can do. And here's they talking about shorting the game if they short. If they take 10 games off, ain't nobody ever gonna break it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, no. No, they ain't. They ain't taking no damn 10 games off, though.

[Joe Johnson]

You know, everybody told me they didn't short the season. Y' all don't want to shorten the money, though.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Ain't gonna let y' all short the season and keep the money to save.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah,

[Joe Johnson]

KG tweet about. Olivia Miles is dead on. Olivia Miles is the best WNBA player playing the game right now. Straight box office. What happened to Cece and Reese? No, she's not. She's phenomenal. But I'm not taking a little Olivia Miles over Asia. I'm not.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Nah, nah.

[Joe Johnson]

And Olivia Miles is sensational. Sensational. She is box office. She's worth the price of a mission. If. If she haven't played them Aces, I might go see her when they come out here and play the Aces if I'm in town.

Yeah, she's that. She.

[Joe Johnson]

She's that. She's that type of. That you go see. Yeah, some you watch on television. Like, I'll watch him on television. No, she's the type you take your ass to the. To the arena and see her. She's that good.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Absolutely.

[Joe Johnson]

Caitlin Clark is starting to pick it up. She just turns the ball over a little bit too much for my liking. That's what's getting them in trouble.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yep.

[Starbucks Tropical Butterfly Refresher Announcer]

Yep.

[Joe Johnson]

Turn the ball over six, seven times a game. You can't win like that. Nope.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Nope.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, they're still phenomenal. Olivia Miles can be great and she can be phenomenal. You can hyper, but angel, you make it seem like Angel, Reese and. And. And Caitlin Clark are not going to be on the all star team. They are.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, yeah, they are. Oh, yeah. Hey, listen, Ocho, y'. All Know, I'm in Minnesota. Hell, if it wasn't for my nap I had to take today, I would have went to the game, but I had to get that nap in. I ain't nothing without that. Now,

[Joe Johnson]

Ocho, how you feel about the bracket is playing out right now for the USA with Bosnia and Belgium looking bad. The US Is going to the quarters. Ocho is streaking across the field.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Yeah, we. We look good. We look good. Obviously.

[Nightcap Listener]

We.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

We spanked. We spanked. We spanked. I don't want to say spank. We spanked Paraguay, but, you know, we look good against Australia.

[Caller or Guest]

So once we.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Once we get to the round of 32, I'm curious who we're gonna play. We got Turkey next. Turkey's already eliminated.

[Joe Johnson]

Turkey.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Nice, crispy.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

[Joe Johnson]

You tell me what's going on with your other guy. Number seven.

[Caller or Guest]

Who that?

[Joe Johnson]

Number seven? Number seven, Cristiano.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Oh.

[Caller or Guest]

Oh.

[Karen from My Favorite Murder]

Oh, yeah.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Oh, he gonna be all right. He gonna be all right. Hey, I don't like the discourse. I don't like the discourse behind it, man. They gonna be all right, Joe. Hey, Joe. They kill it.

[Joe Johnson]

They're not gonna. I don't know. They're gonna be out. They might be all right next World cup, but I don't know if he gonna be around for that one, Ocho.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Nah, he won't be around. He's 40. He's already 40, Uncle. He won't be around for that one. This is. This is his last dance, man. This is last dance. So, you know, I'm.

[Caller or Guest]

I'm hoping.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

I'm hoping they get things together over there, you know, Everybody gotta. Everybody gotta stop trying to play hero ball, man.

[Joe Johnson]

What up, though, Ocho? ISO still king. ISO love the show. ISO, can you please tell Ice Cube that fans want to buy big three jerseys? I need that Jordan Crawfords and yours. Glad you playing for Detroit. Get well soon.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, I'm sure they. I mean, I'm sure they gotta have jerseys for sale. If they don't have apparel for sale, then, you know something wrong. I'm sure he got it coming on the way, though, so. I agree. I think he. You know, you gotta display these guys a lot more. We want the league to grow, so to get some of these top guys out here to get their jerseys out here to get more notoriety, you know, to the big three game, the three on three game. Cause it's an Olympic sport now, Uncle Ocho. They got it in the Olympics now, bro. So you got cats who really want to be involved in 28 playing the Olympics. And I think if you can pull some guys from the big three, I think they will love to play. So kind of to start that train now would be ideal if you ask me.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, but you got to play year round. Cause them cats be playing year round. These cats be knowing each other, man. They be dropping off like, damn. This ain't no just pick up. They just put a team together, Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Now, I know the chemistry and continuity you can't make up for and the being in shape. The way the 3 on 3 game is played in FIBA is a lot different. You know, they don't really have to. If you score the ball, they go through the net. Like it's a quick takeout. It's constant moving. You know what I mean? Like, you gotta be in some real shape, bro. You gotta be in some real shape. They don't like, you know, just take it out at the top. Every time you score on us real quick, boom, we throw it out to the three clear. Now we. You know what I mean?

[Joe Johnson]

So it's we back at you.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot. But it's fun to watch, though.

[Joe Johnson]

Jah, what's going on with John? Is he gonna be. Is he gonna be in Miller? Oh, yeah. I don't know what. John, look, it's clear. It seems to me. I shouldn't say it's clear, but it seems to me. Seems apparent to me that they're headed for a split. Yeah, I think it's time. Yeah, it's the classic situation. They're both sick.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, the Grizzlies are sick of Ja Josh. Sick of the grizzles. Oh, geez. Happy Father's Day. Please can I get a birthday shout out to my baby. My baby ladybug and my bro Rich. Also, happy heavenly birthday shout out to my two brothers, Wood and Malachi. Absolutely. First to your baby Ladybug. You ain't giving a name, I guess he says, coach Roge. Hopefully.

[Caller or Guest]

Okay.

[Joe Johnson]

Thought you call her Cambodia. And your brother Rich. Happy birthday, guys. Hopefully you guys did something today, even though it was Father's Day. Bug, it was your birthday, so that's kind of tough. Cause, I mean, which one takes precedent the birthday or Father's Day. What we doing, Ocho? Your lady birthday on Father's Day. What you doing?

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

And so I don't really celebrate Father's Day. You know, I'm. That's what I'm supposed to be doing. I don't need no reward for that, so I'm celebrating.

[Joe Johnson]

You celebrate a birthday.

[Caller or Guest]

Okay.

[Joe Johnson]

Ocho say he celebrate the birthday, but. And shout out to Malachi and woods, rest in peace. And so Nightcap fam. My name is Mark, and it's my 25th birthday today. Can I get a shout out? Ocho, you're not beating ISO in anything you remember. You're no reacting to skill. What? He said Bill Walton was better than Steph. I absolutely do. Happy 25th birthday, bro. Hopefully you did something fun. You got out, got a nice meal. I don't know. Went to brunch. I need to find a place to got some grits because I. Man, I was in. Where was I at? Oh, I was at this restaurant in Atlanta. McK. Boy, they grits. Five O Joe. Yeah, it's good.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, Skip. And I was debating that guys that were better than Steph Curry and this man would just name it. He talked about Bill Walton. Skill. Must be. Think I was born in, like, 19. 1985. You know, I'm old enough to remember that. Look, had he not gotten injured, who knows? But he was a league mvp. He was finals mvp. But he stayed hurt. Yeah, he stayed hurt. And so, no, he's not better than Steph. No, absolutely not.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

How did he create an argument for that?

[Joe Johnson]

I don't know. But I couldn't let. I couldn't A good conscious. I couldn't let that go. People go like, hold on. Bill Wall was like that. Yes. Bill Wall was a phenomenal player. Big Red was unbelievable. Yeah. But not better than Steph.

[ISO (Chad Ochocinco)]

No.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Do you think Seattle would ever get a chance to host a Super Bowl? And who do you want the guys to see perform the halftime show in 2027? Happy Father's Day, fellas. Chris Brown or Kanye.

I don't think. I don't think they're gonna let Kanye.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Some of the things. Not that. Some of the things he's done. And first of all, I don't think either one of them could if. If hov is in charge of it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. If that's the case, there ain't gonna be no Drake.

[Joe Johnson]

Then it ain't Gonna be no car. It ain't gonna be no Kanye. Gonna be no Chris Brown either.
