  • Joe pushes back: “That man has not been on a regular practice schedule since 2018.” [03:29]
  • Ocho: “Oh, he gonna have to get on when he come to Miami. ... They got some dogs over there. Great weather.” [03:40, 04:19]
• Culture Fit:
  • Would Miami’s hard-nosed, ‘Heat Culture’ system force Kawhi to adapt?
  • Uncle urges that Pat Riley must evolve his leadership: “The game has changed ... in order for us to attract the kind of players we want ... we’re going to have to get players to come here like the Kawhis, like the Ja Morants or the Giannis’s.” [05:16]

  • “If your coach can't coach you, you might as well just go ahead and get them up out of there.” [43:09]

[Joe]

Now streaming on Paramount. The acclaimed series from executive producer Lena Waithe reaches its final chapter. The Shy. For seven seasons, these stories, these streets, this community have stayed with us. Now it all leads to this. As friendships are tested, families evolve, and secrets refuse to stay buried, one thing is certain. The shy is more than just a series. It's a legacy. Don't miss the final season of the Shy now streaming on the Paramount premium plan. According to Ira Weiderman, the Miami Heat could pivot to Kawhi Leonard or Ja Morant if they lose in the Giannis sweepstakes. Joe, would you rather have Giannis or would you rather have Kawhi or Ja in Miami?

[Ocho]

Shit, I'm going Kawhi, man. Kawhi just coming off. I think statistically his best. His best season. And like we always talk about, bro, the Heat culture and how Pat Riley is, I think they'll have him. They'll have him right down there.

[Joe]

He gonna be able to practice all that, Joe?

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He ain't gonna have no damn choice.

[Joe]

Well, he never lee Kawhi alone. What'd you say, Ocho? Joe, it is hard. That man has not been on a regular practice schedule since 2018.

[Ocho]

Oh, he gonna have to get on when he come to Miami.

[Joe]

I'm just saying, Joe, do you know, Joe, think about it, Joe, you got. Think about it. You own your schedule. You've been on your own schedule since 2018. Use on your schedule in. In. In Toronto. You've been on your schedule at the Clippers. And to go after you got in quiet, probably, what, 33, 34 years of age. Joe, I would believe you. If you say the man 26, 27, I say, okay, but Joe, I don't know.

[Ocho]

Joe, man, they got. Hey, hey, they got some dogs over there. Great weather. You hear me? Great weather. Great, great environment. I can see him, you know, be being ready, mentally prepared, you know, to come in and really do whatever he can to help their team get over the hump. I think Kawhi is a hell of a pickup. If you ask me, he is, Joe,

[Uncle]

but they gonna have to meet him.

[Joe]

You already gonna pimp some Joe, you know, Joe, you know the schedule. Uncle Dennis. Uncle Dennis was telling teams what it's gonna be, you know, you heard you was in the league.

[Ocho]

I heard Uncle Dennis ain't. That's over with. Yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

You come to Miami. He go there, Joe, he got. Hey, Uncle Dennis delay mapped it out.

[Ocho]

Yeah, what it gonna be. All this under the. All this under the table stuff that y' all got going down there in la, it ain't happening out here in Miami, man. I'll just let you know. Yeah, they ain't. Ain't going. They ain't going.

[Uncle]

Listen, if we. We want to. If the Pat Riley understands right, Uncle Joe. If we want to be taken seriously as far as competing in the east, forget coming out the east, just competing in the east in general, things are going to have to change. And if things have to change, it has to start at top. We're going to need Pat Riley, you know, to have a conversation with Mickey Harrison and tell Pat, you got to loosen up the reins a little bit. You got to evolve. The game has changed. You know, you can't be trying to coach and do things with an iron fist the way it worked in the 80s and the 90s. It's not going to work in today's era. And the type of players that you're getting. In order for us to attract the kind of players we want to, to change the culture, which has been the winning culture before, but to get back to that winning culture and in those winning ways, we're going to have to get players to come here like the Kawhis, like the Ja morons or the Giannis's. We don't want people second guessing themselves about coming to one of the greatest cities to actually play in and having people say no because of Pat Riley.

[Joe]

Joe, let me ask you a question. You want kawhi for 60, 65 games or you want him for 30, 45 game? Cause you making practice. You know what you going to get them knees can't take it.

[Ocho]

Oh, we going to do a thorough investigation on his body, make sure he right. But we going, we need his ass to, we, they going to need his ass to practice. You know what I mean? He can make that 65 game thr. So he can do it. He can do it. I think he already, look, look, even when you look at him, he already in elite shape. I mean, he's a guy who really take care. He look like he really take care of his body, bro, so.

[Joe]

Yeah, but he got the knees over 55. His knees might be worse than mine.

[Ocho]

Well, they, hey, hey, they got a nice conditioning program over there to keep him strong throughout the season. Make sure he good. Yeah, yeah. You can't go over there playing no damn, 30, 35 games a season. Now, come on.

[Joe]

I'm just trying to be honest with you, Joe. I' tried to get you to, to temper your expectations.

[Ocho]

Yeah, no, bro, but hey, look, because I, I, I mean, I want to see Ja go somewhere else. I wouldn't mind seeing John in Miami, but damn, they ain't gonna be, they ain't gonna be able to get both of them me.

[Uncle]

Like, why we.

[Joe]

And my thing is, Joe, at this point, and the clip is gonna look bad. Like, hold on, I don't know how the Clippers let him go because he's the only superstar that you got, and you just built a $2 billion arena. So how do you let him go? Who they gonna come see?

[Ocho]

They got. They got the number. They got the number 5 pick in this draft. I think. I think the Clippers just gonna really.

[Joe]

Number five pick LeBron James.

[Uncle]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Hey, is that number five pick Cooper flag.

[Uncle]

Nope.

[Joe]

If that number five pick Michael Jordan, it's gotta be somebody they gonna want to see. Joe. Yeah. You know, do you know he better be Shaq. Well, he's Shaq. The number five pick. You gonna be Shaq.

[Uncle]

Whoever the number five pick is, is not gonna fill that arena every night they play. No, and. And I'm not saying it in a disrespect, Disrespectful way. Listen, some people will come see him until about filling arena every single night.

[Ocho]

This is the problem you have. If you keep Kawhi too damn long, you ain't gonna be able to get rid of them. You know, he still got some great value in him right now that I think some teams could use. And he can help them, you know, get to the finals, if not win a title. But you keep him too. You keep him too much longer, Uncle Ocho here, you ain't. You gonna be stuck like Chuck. It's over with.

[Joe]

Yeah, I still wanna put some. Put some butts and seats, Joe.

[Ocho]

Well, hey, you gonna have to get it through the draft and build up over the next couple years. I'm sorry, I don't know what to

[Joe]

tell you, because at the end, as much as I love those guards, you know who they coming to see in San Antonio?

[Ocho]

Joe. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Joe]

And I think those guards are phenomenal. And that's not. And respectfully, as I say, this castle is phenomenal. Dylan Harper's going to be great. I like Basell. I like everything about him. But they coming to see the alien.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely right.

[Joe]

You go to the circus, there's only a few animals you want to see. You wait, I mean, when you go to the zoo, what you going to see? I'm going to see lions, lions, tigers, gorillas, snakes. Now, if I happen to walk by and see a polar bear, that's fine. If I see the giraffe or I see the zebras.

[Ocho]

Yeah, cool too.

[Uncle]

Yeah.

[Joe]

But you know what you're going to see. And you go see those first. I'm gonna go, where the elephants at? Excuse me, sir. Where the elephants exhibit. Hey, I was gonna see the line. Normally, the time that I go, them lazy mofos sleeping.

[Uncle]

Yeah, you better hope the lions out because they sleep like 23 hours. They so lazy.

[Joe]

They lazy. Hey, they sleeping. I'mma go see. Hey, I'mma go see the silver backs.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Hey, you know, hey, I got a little time. I might check out the. Go inside the enclosure and see the. The hippo. The hippos, yeah. See a rhinoceros here or there, and then I'm gonna go see the snakes, try to catch them at feeding time. That's it. That's why. I mean, hey, if you're lucky enough, I think they, they. We've had to ship them all back. You go see the pandas. The kids love to see the pandas. They get the little stuffed animals that are pandas. You get to go see the pandas, like, oh, they cute and cuddly. They tear your ass up. But then people don't realize they're just cute and cuddly. They black and white. But don't let that black and white fool you. They tear your ass up.

[Ocho]

Hell, yeah. Hey, hey. My little one. My little one ain't before. Boy, he love them gorillas.

[Joe]

Boy, the silver bat, he love them gorillas. Boy, you see them jokers? I'm talking about all muscle. I'm talking about 400 pounds of all muscle. 400 pounds Ocho Joe with a 2,000 pound bench.

[Ocho]

Damn.

[Uncle]

And don't forget now, not too long ago, there was dialogue going on about 100 people versus one gorilla.

[Joe]

Well, I'll tell you what, I want to be the 101. So hopefully 99 has wounded and beat him down so much. But, hey, I'm not in the first 10 or 15. Yeah, no, because the first 10 gonna catch hell.

[Ocho]

You gonna catch hell.

[Joe]

You see, they bite. And with a bite force of probably a thousand pounds of pressure, man, they bite your arm clean off.

[Uncle]

Clean bite. They'll snatch your arm clean off.

[Joe]

Yes. And beat you over and beat the next man over the head with it. So I want no part of it.

[Uncle]

That was a good time. That was a good time with them people saying they could take on the gorilla. Boy, that was a good time.

[Joe]

Yeah, good luck with that. Everybody knows Shaq, but off camera, he's just a regular guy.

NBA passes anti tanking rules 3, 2, 1 draft lottery system. Teams 4 through 10 get three lottery balls. Both three bottom three teams get two lottery balls. Playing teams get one to two lottery balls. 16 teams in the lottery with flattened odds. Previously 14 teams cannot pick number one in consecutive years. No top five picks in three consecutive years. The worst teams now have just a 5.4% chance to get the number one pick. The team with three balls have an 8.1% chance at each.

[Ocho]

At.

[Joe]

At the number one pick. The three worst teams are guaranteed to pick no lower than 12. Other lottery teams can fall as far as number 16. Joe Ocho. Do you like this?

[Ocho]

Yeah. Yeah. Hey, they trying to take away this tanking, bro. It's killing the game. You know when you get teams midway through the season who feel like they got nothing to play for?

[Uncle]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

And okay, boom. It's for instance, look at Washington. They wouldn't have traded for 80. And Trey, I'm talking about. They ain't even played none this season. You know what I mean? They say, hey, man, you got. Hey, we gotta tighten this ship up, bro. Cause look, if you don't, the tanking will continue and teams will continue to, you know, do whatever it can't, do whatever they can to try and get a top three pick. You know what I mean? I'm glad they. I'm glad he implementing all this in bro. We gotta do.

[Joe]

Didn't the Cavaliers get the three consecutive. They got Kyrie, Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Back to. Back to back.

[Uncle]

Yeah, I, I like that. The funny thing about it too long.

[Joe]

It.

[Uncle]

It's.

[Sleep Apnea Patient]

It's.

[OnPlus Nicotine Announcer]

It's.

[Uncle]

It's crazy that I had this with a conversation with us earlier when we talked about the tanking rule. Obviously, soccer and soccer, Unk and Joe, you know, if you don't play well, if you're playing at the bottom of the league, you get regular, you get relegated, you know, to a lower tier, the lower division. But obviously we oppose the question, you know, to Chris Paul about what do you think about the tank in basketball? And is there anything that. That we can do to teams and penalize them? Obviously, there's no regulation because there's nowhere for. For NBA teams to go.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle]

And obviously he had a really great answer and said they need to be penalized because the players that are on the team have to suffer. They have to suffer. You Know, and not being able to get the numbers they want to and do some of the things and being able to contribute to helping that team win where they're stifled and really have. Really have no say so. You know, when a team decides to tank.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Cause think about it. Look at it like this. If we all on the same team and they talking about we tanking and it's contract year. His own contract. Yeah. He like, damn, the damn tank. I'm trying to get my damn numbers. Yeah.

[Uncle]

It affects you. Yeah.

[Ocho]

You know what I'm saying?

[Joe]

Put your ass on the bench or trade you.

[Ocho]

There you go.

[Joe]

They fired T. Lou and Cleveland.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Because they wanted T. Lou to take. T. Lou said, man, I'm trying to win. You got to go. T. Lou ain't about no tanking.

[Ocho]

Hell no.

[Joe]

I could have told him that, right?

[Uncle]

Hold on, Uncle Joe. Hey, if you own a team, right, and they know and they understand that you're in a contract year and in order to get your numbers, you have to play well, do they take that into account if you're still going to be on that team and still pay you anyway because they decided to tank?

[Ocho]

Yeah. No. Hell no.

[Uncle]

See, that's.

[Joe]

I mean, it's like this. I mean, Ocho, you know, sometimes how you might finish. Let's just say we got the division, we got the thing sold up. We got number one seed, and we bench you and you two catches or you 20 yards. Yeah. They might go ahead and give you that money because you would have got it.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Cause I would be raising hell. Like, hold up, bro. You bench me and I2 catches in 40 yards away from a million dollars. Yeah. No, I got to get that.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Hey, hey.

[Joe]

If y' all don't give me that money, I'm dressing up.

[Ocho]

Hey. With situation like that. Cause I know. I think we've talked about it before. I know both of y' all probably been in those situations to where, you know, you probably had incentives that you was trying to meet at the end the season. Do you talk to your quarterback about that? Like, hey, man, I need. I need four catches. I need 60 yards today.

[Joe]

Joe had. I, you know, hey, I'd had four 1,000 yard season. I didn't. But I didn't really. I was never. I never really, like, got into the quarterback ear, the coordinator TR to throw the ball, bro. Y' all know what I can do. I'm the best on the team. Give me the damn ball. And we lost that game. Oh, Joe. We was up 30 to 13. We lost 3013 at the half. We end up losing the overtime, 33 to 30. I ain't catch another pass. Go look up, go look up. 1993, the last game of the season. See how many passes I caught at the, at the half. I think I had six for a buck, six buck 15 and two tubs. And then catch another pass and we end up blowing a 17 point lead.

[Ocho]

Damn. How that happened? How you. That's what I don't understand, you know what I mean? It's like when you see a guy got, got it going, you know what I mean? Like, damn. Hey, every time we throwing the ball, he getting out of there, he making something happen.

[Joe]

He, that's my homeboy burning him. Eddie Anderson was. He went to the Valley, I caught, I caught a silver route he was chasing. I had the ball back like this here. He reached for it going. In the end though. Chad. What I have. 1993, last game of the season. Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos. Cooked them.

[Uncle]

Hey, Joe, you know, you know back then when you play the Raiders, they're gonna be right in your face. Yeah, you knew exactly what's coming right in your face. All game long. All you gotta do is get open.

[Joe]

Cooked them so bad, they went and paid Albert Lewis top, top, top dollar money because he's the only one at that point in time that was giving me a problem. Yeah, nobody. I was blissing everybody. Didn't matter. Your first corner, your best safety, your best linebacker. Nobody was doing nothing with 84 back then. I had to work a little harder, but I gave him that work too.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, I gave him that work too.

[Joe]

I think I dropped 10 for a buck 42 on him. A little something on Monday night.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, Monday night. Oh, hey, hey, the Monday night games. A guy trying to show their ass like they made.

[Joe]

Oh, yeah. Cause I knew everybody watching.

[Uncle]

Hey, hey, who called your games? You had, you had Madden.

[Uncle]

Yeah. Boom, boom, boom. Nice. You know, I like Tony Romo. Huh?

[Joe]

You like Romo?

[Uncle]

I like Romo simply for the fact that he's played the game so well and studied it so Much, obviously, playing quarterback, I like how he calls out the plays and tell you what's going to happen before it happening. 99.9% of the time, he's always right because he's seen it before. And I'm not just Cowboys game. I'm just talking about games he's calling in general. Yeah, it's funny watching him. Some people say they don't even like Romo.

[Joe]

I don't know why, but yeah, we had to. Dick Ember called. Some dick in Burg called a lot of my games because he was on NBC at the time. And the AFC package was on NBC at the time. But everybody gave. Everybody gave it up. NBC had the. NBC had the AFC package. They gave it up. CBS got it back. CBS had to had the NFC package. They gave it up. That's how Fox came in and got it. Because like, you know, back up saying Fox. Fox had. Guess what Fox had. Martin, the Simpsons, In Living Color and Fox News.

You go back and look at Archie Ball and the Family, and you look at the Jeffersons and you look at some of those sitcoms, and I. You know, it's like. But you didn't think about it back then, right? It didn't even dawn on me that it was like, oh, okay, okay. And now you like. Golly, man, look how they talk. They made fun of it. Wasn't nothing off limits.

Hey, look, he up there. The 48 tonight.

[Joe]

You want answers? I think I'm entitled to him. You want answers? I want the truth. You can't handle the truth. Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's going to do it? You? You? Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You reap for Santiago. You curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. My appearance, grotesque and incomprehensible to you, save lives? You don't want the truth cut deep down in places, at parties you don't talk about. You want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words of a backbone, of a lifetime spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I haven't the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of freedom that I provide and then question the matter in which I provided. I'd rather you said, thank you, it went on your way or pick a weapon up at standing post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to. Did you order the cold red? I did my job. Did you order the cold red? You damn right I did.

[Ocho]

Hey, hey, hey. Boy, you got that down pack, don't you, man?

[Joe]

[Joe]

He's like, I have an MD From Harvard. I am board certified and cardiothoracic medicine and trauma surgery. I received seven citation from different. I received seven different citations from New England medical boards and I'm never, ever sick at sea. So you ask when someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees that their wife doesn't miscarry, that their daughter doesn't bleed to death or their mother doesn't suffer post operative shock, who do you think they're praying to? When you go to church and you read your Bible, Dennis, and with a little luck, you might win the annual raffle. But if you're looking for God, he was in the operating room number two on November 17, and he doesn't like to be second guess. So you ask if I have a God complex. I am God, sideshow. It's over.

[Uncle]

That boy good.

[Joe]

That boy be locked in with the boy good.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

Hey, what are we talking about, man? But I'm saying, I used to go to movies all the time. I like to go to movies. And if something like that right there. Yeah, I'm going back again. I will go back again. And I'm gonna go back again, you know, and then I'm gonna learn that part.

[Joe]

Man, that joke. Hey, that Jack, when he played that first Batman, he get that newspaper. He looks up wing fiend terrorize the city. Where did they get a load of me? I did on the sideline. I said, NFL films. They came and I just scored a touchdown on somebody. I forget who I scored a touchdown on. And I said, brother sets NFL record. Where did they get a load of me? Mitchell Robinson. Guys, the Knicks got some bad news. Richard Mitchell Robinson is out with a broken pinky finger. Sean's report, no timetable on his return. Joe, how bad would this impact the Knicks?

[Ocho]

Damn, what was he doing, huh?

[Uncle]

In practice?

[Ocho]

Man, that's a. That's a finger. Your. Your game is predicated off energy and effort. Energy and effort. Shot blocking ain't like hell, y'.

[Uncle]

All.

[Ocho]

We thought they throw him the ball and he get. You know. Go get us a bucket. That man. Yeah, you better take that damn finger up and get ready to go.

[Ocho]

His pinky on one hand? Yeah.

[Uncle]

It don't matter, Joe. Just tape these two together right here and let's go.

[Joe]

Well, it wasn't like he was shooting anyway. Damian Woody said, I'm gonna need some basketball dudes to help me understand why Mitchell Robinson missing time with a broken pinky. I broke my hand in training camp, had surgery, and had the whole damn hand in the cast and didn't miss a game.

[Ocho]

Hell, and he still got time, man. He still got. The finals will start to the fifth. Hell, he got plenty of time.

[Joe]

Hey, Joe. We know y' all the softest ones, Joe. Now, I mean, come on, now, stop that.

[Ocho]

Oh, come on. Don't start. Don't start. Don't start yet.

[Joe]

Don't start. We don't play with dislocated fingers. And like Joe Ocho say, take the fade together or get a. Or get a split.

[Uncle]

Yeah, that's it. Hey, he's a defensive player anyway, and when he goes to the line, he gonna miss anyway, so we not counting on him making no shots.

[Joe]

He ain't gonna do no but. Don't.

[Uncle]

Or free throw.

[Ocho]

Unless. Unless it's so bad to where he really needs surgery or something. Nah, I don't know.

[Uncle]

The surgeon gonna have to wait till after game six,

[Joe]

All day, Sergio. It's his right hand, but, like, man, he ain't shooting no shots anyway. He getting dunks and put backs, and he rebounding.

[Ocho]

It's gonna be hard to play his ass. Cause it's gonna be Hacker Robinson, too.

[Joe]

Oh, yeah, he damn sure.

[Ocho]

Hey, he damn sure ain't gonna make no free throws now,

[Joe]

Joe. He was shooting 15 to begin with, so now you gonna shoot 10.

[Joe]

Okay. Okay, Joe. While there are many moments of frustration for the Indiana fever and their 184 loss, the Portland Fire Saturday night, the one that got the most attention involved the sideline exchange between Caitlyn Clark and Stephanie White. At one point in the game, a fan caught a video of White and Caitlyn arguing on the bench during the break in the action, presumably over defense. Let's look at this video.

[Uncle]

I ain't. I ain't really seen that now. I mean, I saw Caitlin Clark be a little demonstrative. You know, outside of that, I ain't

[Joe]

trying to see that. That's. You can't be demonstrative, Ocho.

[Ocho]

What you mean as a coach or as a player?

[Joe]

Hold on. Cheryl Miller on NBC Today said, right now, it's frustration. And unfortunately, it's boiling over and it's being seen. It's one thing to have it behind closed doors, but when it spills over, when the coach has to say, basically, hey, you know what, Caitlin? Enough is enough. This is too disruptive. In or out, Take a seat.

[Ocho]

All right, listen, I respect coaches like that, bro. When you can challenge your best player and your best player responds. I ain't talking about. In a way to where it seems like they got an attitude and they don't want to do it, but, you know, maybe you're right. Let me lock in, you know what I mean? Like, I ain't. The back and forth is not a bad thing to me, fellas. You know, it happens from time to time when you police some players. This is what comes with it. And if you can't police your best player, bro, then it's always gonna be a problem.

[Joe]

But the problem is, Joe, this is not isolated. It's every night. She doesn't play defense, and she got. So why are you trying to draw up a play offensively? Guard your man defensively, bro. Look, y' all know me. I've been. I've been on Caitlin, been in Caitlin Clark's corner. But enough is enough. Now, I'm tired of her behavior. I'm tired of the shoving. I'm tired of the elitist. I'm tired of the entitlement. Enough is enough. Play basketball. She's not holding up her end. And I love Stephanie White for this. It was a very similar situation where LeBron was trying to draw him something when Tyloo first got the job. And Tyloo said, I got this right,

[Ocho]

Gotta let them know in charge.

[Joe]

I end up wrote a little passion. Where's that passion on defense? Y' all say she got passion. Where is the passion on defense? Because guess what? Everybody doing what they doing, Joe. Attacking her.

[Ocho]

Yep.

[Joe]

The same thing they do with all scores when you don't play, Luca, the best score in the NBA. Tell me where they go.

[Ocho]

That's how you offset it. Make their ass work on defense. You think you finna just come down?

[Joe]

Go ahead. Huh?

[Ocho]

You think you finna just come down? Average 25, 30 points a night and ain't gonna have no pushback on defense. We finna make your ass. God. What?

[Uncle]

We're going to make you work now.

[Ocho]

We gonna wait. We gonna seek you out every time.

[Joe]

I love the fact that, Joe, that you're on here and you get it. What? A lot of times I don't think people get. And people like, oh, I love passion. If your coach can't coach you, you might as well just go ahead and get them up out of there. Yeah, you got it. It won't be long. Because if your best player keeps disrespecting you, they're not gonna respect you either.

[Ocho]

Right?

[Joe]

The only reason it worked in New England. No chosen. Why? Because Coach Belichick got the ultimate respect from Tom Brady. If your best player doesn't respect you, you might as well just go to get you another coach.

[Ocho]

Absolutely right. I totally agree.

[Joe]

Every night is something. She's pushing somebody, she's selling somebody. She doing something. And I've given you the benefit of the doubt, and I understand you missed last year, and you. You trying to get your rhythm back. But enough now. Come on now. You too good of a player. But you can't just play one end of the court, right? And don't show your coach up. If you want to be passionate, that's the worst thing. Be passionate on both ends of the court.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Seems like you want to be passionate when it draw up your flip. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't draw no play. Hell, you getting cooked on the other end. I drove a defensive play. Make that one work. That's the way I would want.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Hey, the thing about trying to show your culture, bro, like, especially in the NBA, if you got 30, 32 other teams watching, man, ain't nobody want to deal with that, bro. Don't nobody want to deal. Don't nobody want to deal with no damn headache. What'd you say? Tolerance over productivity, production. They only gonna deal with so much, bro. They only gonna deal with so much.

[Joe]

And the problem is Ocho and Joe and you know this is that when the production slip, you gone. They don't let. They don't let guys that be great and been a problem. They don't let them stay long. All they wait for them. They wait for that moment. Just a little. Oh, yeah, he came. Get up out of there. Got to.

[Ocho]

Got to get him out of here. Yeah, absolutely.

[Joe]

Right. Just enough. Enough. I've seen enough. I've watched enough games. It's always something. She pushing players. She's stepping on players. You won't catch the right young lady. You'll catch the right one on the wrong day. Yeah, my grandma used to tell me, I'm over there. Okay, y' all gonna catch them. Y' all gonna catch the right one, but it's gonna be the wrong day.

[Ocho]

Absolutely. Hey, you gotta take some accountability. Yes, I know we talk about that a lot, but she has. She has to accept that part, bro. You know, showing up. Your coach ain't gonna do it. That'll do it ain't gonna be a good look.

[Joe]

And.

[Ocho]

And you got your teammates, bro, who gonna look at you different. Now, they may not tell you, but they're gonna look at you different.

[Joe]

You kind of been coddled since you got here. Yeah, Everybody has bent over kind of backward to appease you.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe]

Granny used to tell us all the time, boy, don't be ugly. Make people don't like you.

[Ocho]

Fact.

[Joe]

Well, I don't like them either.

[Ocho]

Yeah, she got. She gotta fix that, Ojo.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Uncle]

I mean, you know, and. And for me, I mean, I. I hear both. Both of you talking, and I. I. To me is not enough. It's not enough. You understand who she is. You understand how she plays the game. And a player showing passion in that magnitude in that moment. I don't think she means that.

[Joe]

What they called it when you did it.

[Uncle]

Oh, well, you know how I am when I do it. You know that. And you know why?

[Joe]

It's passion.

[Uncle]

Because I was. You want to win, it's passion. But I'm a repeat offender, and I don't have the leeway to be able to do it.

[Joe]

She's a repeat offender. Ocho, you need to watch. Watch your game. I need you. I need you to do me a favor. The next time they play, watch your game and watch your antics on the court.

[Uncle]

Right. I see. I see the highlight sometimes.

[Joe]

Watch it. Watch, watch. I watch.

[Uncle]

Right, right.

[Joe]

And chat. Y' all know I've been one of her biggest proponents. I've been in her corner. I've been a champion.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

I don't tolerate this kind of behavior.

[Uncle]

Right.

[Joe]

So you want.

[Uncle]

You wanted to take just the.

[Joe]

I wanted to play. I want to let the coach coach. She already got one coach fired the first coach. She got a fight. She was fired. Stephanie White just got there. And they took. They gave. They gave the Aces all they could handle, and they didn't have Caitlin Clark. Caitlin Clark is not playing any defense. They're attacking her.

[Ocho]

Yeah. She gotta tighten up.

[Joe]

At some point in time for a coach to be worth his or her merit. You gotta draw a line.

[Ocho]

Yep.

[Joe]

You gotta draw a line.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

The players will run over you. They will more times than not. There's a reason why we got laws and rules and regulations. People ain't gonna do it right. They won't. That's just in people's nature. More time. Barney Porter used to tell us all the time, he said, boy, give them a choice to do right or wrong, and there's no one there to hold us accountable for the wrong. How many people do you think gonna do right? And how many people you think gonna do wrong?

[Uncle]

Hey, depending on what the wrong is. I'm so trying to get away with something.

[Joe]

That's my point. See, people. When I say wrong, people always go to the. Both the most egregious.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

Okay. What about speeding? If you knew the police weren't under, how fast would you go in that 55? If you knew the park cops weren't behind you and they didn't see you litter, if you could walk into the store and shoplift and get something. Given a choice to do right or wrong, we know what the rights are. We know what the wrongs are.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle]

Hey, Joe.

[Ocho]

What's up?

[Uncle]

I' ma steal some Haynes underwear now.

[Ocho]

You gonna steal some.

[Uncle]

Some Haynes underwear?

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle]

It ain't gonna get caught. Some Haynes underwear and Haynes tank tops?

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle]

With me, boy. No, I ain't stealing. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, me. Uncle, you don't shop at Target.

So you wash them one time, boom, they gonna be perfect. You basically, if you're a 32, you better get you a size 28 draws.

Yeah, yeah, like, yeah, he telling me, hey, that was Shannon Sharp. He's the hall of Famer. I'm like, bro, you just call me uncle. You older than me.

[Uncle]

The funniest thing too, Joe. And this is the kind of reach I don't. If you understand that we have is. We have nightcap and I just left. Tst. I left the soccer tournament. You have to think you have. You have players that have flown from all over the world. From all over the world in Europe, Brazil, Chile. And everybody's here under one umbrella In. In Rally for. For. For a tournament. But everybody knows about Nightcap. Everybody watches Nightcap and it is funny. Some people. Dudes barely know English.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle]

How's Unc, how and Joe doing? I'm like, how you know about Nightcap and you live all the way the

[Joe]

mother show need to change their name, Ocho.

[Ocho]

[Joe]

They already know.

[Uncle]

Everybody knows.

[Ocho]

They already.

[Joe]

They already know.

[Ocho]

They already know.

[Uncle]

Yeah. That was dope. Just. Just to hear people that they all the way in Europe. Joe.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

We love. We love.

[Uncle]

We love y' all so. You guys are really funny.

[Joe]

We love y' all too. The Aces got back to their winning ways. They beat the Valkyries 91 81. Asia Wilson 28 points, 15 rebounds, 4 blocks. Jackie Young got back to looking like Jackie Young. 23 points, 9 assists. She was 9 of 17 from the field, 5 of 9 from the 3 point line and she grabbed 7 rebounds. The victory gave Becky Hammonds 150th victory coaching victory and made her the second fastest coach to reach that milestone. She did it in 205 games. Seven behind Van Chancellor who set the record when he coached the Houston Comments. Gabby Williams led the Valkyrie with. With 20 points. Man, Asia, look when they're playing, when them two guards. When Asia is Asia and Jackie Young. One of those guards play, they.

[Ocho]

Hell yeah they are, bro. They gonna, they, they. They gonna be tough to beat. You know you right. When, when Asia's playing like this and she can't be stopped. 15 boys, 28 points. It ain't. It ain't. I don't know if, I don't even know if they got a girl in WNBA who matches up well with her.

[Joe]

No. Cause you see how she moves. She's not. She doesn't move like a lady. Her, she's sudden and she's left.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

She's added a three. She's got a midi. She can put the ball on the floor, she can get to the rim, you foul her. But as a two way player, she give you points, rebounds and block your shots.

[Ocho]

You know with, with, with, with women though, especially like in Asia's position because she's a center, they need, she need good guard.

[Joe]

Absolutely. And she got two of the best she's getting.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And when they playing well. When they playing well, that's what makes them virtually impossible to be.

[Joe]

And man, what you call them, they play. Look, this was a very important game to them because they Played their starters major minutes. And Kennedy Carter, who's been unbelievable right now, she'd be the sixth woman of the year. She's been amazing. She only played nine minutes, but she still gave you six points, Joe. She gave. She was perfect from the free throw. I mean, she's perfect from the field. One on one from the three point line and three or four. Three or four from the free throw line. She was. She was amazing.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Hey, Becky. Becky rode them horses.

[Joe]

Unlike Ron Turcotte on Secretariat. Hey, he got to the top. He tucked it back up on and say, I only need it today. That chestnut coat laid it down, Come on home. And you feel turned back over. So he looked like God. Are y' all even running? Hey.

[Ocho]

Damn.

[Joe]

Becky had to whip out the day on him. Come on. Come on home.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Thanks. Hey, sometimes. Hey, buddy. Sometimes that would it take. Hey, if you in a little rut or you trying to bounce back. Hey, I need to get it together.

[Joe]

Yeah. Gabby Williams, she played for the French team and she played for the French team. Cause I think. I think she got dual citizenship, so I think she played for the French team. Cause she gave. Cause remember, Joe, in the Olympic. She had hit that shot, but her foot was on the. On the line.

[Ocho]

Golden State.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

Kill Stokes. She was on. I think she played with the. She played with the Aces last year, kind of doing what she'd done before. No point seven rebounds.

[Ocho]

I think I read somewhere to where the Golden State Valkyries, they like a. They like a top franchise.

[Joe]

Oh, yeah. This most expensive franchise. I think they worth a billion.

[Uncle]

A billion. But what.

[Ocho]

What makes them. What makes them. How's that?

[Joe]

Are they on the building which they play in?

[Ocho]

Damn.

[Joe]

Like the Liberty.

[Ocho]

Oh, yeah. Huh? Yeah, man. What we. We should have got in and got us a percentage on the dream. Hell yeah.

[Joe]

Yeah, we could have got it. We could have got it real cheap. And you ain't nothing cheap now. Houston. Yeah. Hey. Yeah. Tillman Fertitto just bought the. Well, he bought the Suns last year. They're relocating to Houston. The sun. Connecticut Sun.

[Ocho]

All righty. They going back to the comments.

[Uncle]

They're gonna be the Houston side.

[Joe]

That'd be the comments.

[Ocho]

No, I think they're going back. They done. They've done something to be able to get that comment back. And that's gonna be dope. I remember. I remember as a kid, bro, sitting there watching Cynthia Cooper and them play.

[Joe]

Hey, man, Tina Thompson, they parole. They had swoops. Yeah, they were loaded when they.

[Ocho]

When the WNBA first kicked out them girl was not playing well, you ain't

[Joe]

gonna see what they did. They won 4 straight cuz they had 2 of the top 5 players on one team. And Tina Thompson wasn't no slouch.

[Ocho]

Oh no.

[Joe]

So they might have had three of the top seven top eight players on one roster. And the only thing that hurt them is that Coop was getting older.

[Ocho]

But if she was cold, man, she was cold. She was nice, bro. I'm talking about putting up numbers.

[Uncle]

Yes.

[Ocho]

Damn.

[Joe]

But congratulations. I gotta. I gotta check out a comics game. I'm trying to say who they gonna. Who they can play who I want to see them play. They gotta play somebody good.

[Uncle]

It

[Joe]

n. You know what?

[Ocho]

When.

[Joe]

When you got stars like Asia and Gray and Young, you don't care who they play. Cuz the best talent is on the. On the. On the home court.

[Ocho]

Yeah, it a.

[Joe]

It ain't like you go, you know, you play, you one of the teams and you wait for the Lakers or you wait for somebody good to come play. Hell, we got the best players right here. Cuz. I saw him play. I saw him play a couple years ago. I saw him play Caitlin Clark, the.

[Ocho]

Who you talking about? The Aces.

[Joe]

Everybody knows Shaq, but off camera, he's just a regular guy.

[Sleep Apnea Patient]

People never believe me when I say I'm just like them. I take out the trash, do dishes, and I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or osa. And a lot of adults with obesity also struggle with moderate to severe osa. You know, those scary breathing interruptions during sleep, the loud snoring, choking, and daytime fatigue.
