[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

So hold on, though. So how did singing. It was just a gift for you. What?

[Darnell Jones]

It was a gift, man. I started singing it when I was like, five years old. Cause I had been around it, you know, and it really became something I wanted to do when I got to high school. And I knew that I started singing and Bobby Browns and the Chicks was, like, feeling it. So I was like, ah, I'm on to something right here. That's what made me, like, take it seriously then, you know.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Okay, okay. Hey, tell me something. When you hear songs like Where I Wanna Be, you know what I'm saying? You know, what's Up Knocks me Off my feet today. Does it surprise you how, you know, those classic songs have stood the test of times, bro.

[Darnell Jones]

To be honest, man, I, I, I, I don't. Because, I mean, like, like, I still listen to, like, the Stevie Wonders and the, and the Michael Jackson. Like, when I play those records, they still feel the same to me, you know what I'm saying? Like, they never get old to me. So I felt like I wanted to make that type of music, you know? And I, I really feel like I accomplished that.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Hey, so when you were making these hits, bro, did you know they was classics off Dunk? Like, when you was making. You like, or when you was writing, you was like.

[Darnell Jones]

Yeah, I know that. Nah, I know that. I just knew I, I made the type of music that I like to listen to, so, you know what I'm saying? But I ain't know it's going to be a classic, you know? I don't think we ever know what a hit is going to be because, I mean, it's really up to the people out there. They, they got to like it, you know, Because I automated some stuff where, you know, it really didn't hit. Maybe because a lot of people didn't hear it or. So, I mean, we never know what's going to be the one that's going to really blow things up. But, but I felt really good about what I was making.

Atlanta played a big role, man. I mean, I. I got, you know, I signed to LaFace Records, I from Chicago, but I lived in Jersey, where I got signed by Eddie F, who was Heavy D's DJ at first, and then he was an A R at LaFace Records. So we came down and met La Reid here in Atlanta. And from there, man, I played. I think I played Yearning. And I played Natural Thing on my first album. And in the hood from the first album, man, when I played it for la, he was like, yo, man, I love what you're doing. But by that time I had already written think of you for Usher.

Like, you know. Yeah, I like to leave things to the imagination where you can make your own interpretation of what I'm saying because it always could be two different meanings to the. To something you're saying. You know what I'm saying?

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

I'm hearing it right now. I'm hearing the whole platform right now.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Yeah.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Hey, hey, hey, man. That man had some major hit. And y' all know if I got an R and B playlist, partner. He on there at least two, three times. You hear me? You hear me, Jeremy? What'd you say?

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Put the whole album on There it is, bro.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

He got some stuff on there, man. You can just play straight through. You know what I mean? Just super dope, brother man. Hey, listen, Rick Brunson, on being Rick Brunson, on being the coach to his son Jalen Brunson. Rick said, we have a rule, just like Josh. You can cuss me out on the court, but if you cuss me out off the court, I'm a father. I'm gonna get my damn belt. Smooth. Smooth. You think you could have played for your pops, bro? You could have played for Pete.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Absolutely. Yeah. I was playing for him without playing when.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

What?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

I was playing for him without playing for him. He used to come back to the. Behind that bitch. It cuts me out so smooth.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

At the right temperature. Especially in high school, you know, aau, you know, you know, they let you. They let your parents, especially when you cold, and they let your parents kind of do a little bit what. You know, do what they want to do a little bit.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Hey, man, listen. I commend Rick Brunson, bro, because for you to be able to coach your son and Jalen Brunson, you know, for you, for your pops to be able to coach. You think about that. I'm watching him in the finals, bro. Is he warming up? Is Jalen warming up? His dad passing on the rock? Come on, Jeremy, man, this stuff we only dream of. You know what I mean? Yeah, and.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

And it's dope that the dynamic is what it is. You can cuss me out on the court, but off the court, I'm still your father. Like, I. I think because Rick played, he. He's bright enough to understand when and where to press and when to let up.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Dynamic.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

I commend Jaylen more than anything, because as fathers, you want to. That is a dream of ours, to be able to coach our kids one day and them to be able to allow us to be able to do it. But I commend the son because for him to be able to be willing to embrace it and understand that his dad is gonna wear multiple hats for him in his life, for him to be able to know which hat he's putting on at that particular moment, and for him to be able to appreciate that is big. Because, you know, if you, me, and Ta was having this conversation, it was. And I think a lot of us had these kind of issues when it comes to our sons, when we want to teach them and talk to them, we basically telling them we have the answer to the test, but it's like they want to fail the test a little bit to see if you got the answers.

[Darnell Jones]

For real.

[Concert/Tour Announcer]

For real.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

You know what I mean? Yeah. I commend the son for, like, more so than the dad. You know, the dad is living. Living out his dream because every dad will be willing and wants to his son to be able to understand what they trying to show him. You know what I'm saying? Instead of them taking it personal. You know what I mean?

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, man, that. That. I mean, this. That Knicks run not only goes down in history, but, you know, Jalen Brunson, Rick Brunson, that relationship, bro, that, I mean, they got. That's forever now. You know, they I mean, they won in New York. Jeremy, come on. Now we know what. We know what we've always talked about, you know, we always know New York is a mecca of basketball. They hadn't won in some odd years. You win in New York, man. Come on, man. What are they gonna put that man's statue at?

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

It's coming soon.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Society, too, always wants to once. Once even. Even in this area. You space that. I'm in. They guys are intimidated to talk to the father. They love to see the woman come around the corner with no dad. You know what I'm saying?

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Oh, yeah. They run a little game on her. On the man.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Oh, man, they flipping and dipping her.

[Darnell Jones]

They.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

They love. They love to see her come around the corner. You know what I'm saying? Meanwhile, the dead. You gotta. You gotta be able to kind of shoot. Shoot them straight. You know what I'm saying?

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Well, the dad can see through the bs.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Absolutely. So. But, you know, but when they. When they do. When they do call it, call the BSI for what it is. Not a daddy is crazy or. Yeah, deal with him, man.

[T-Mobile Advertiser Disclaimer]

He. He be.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

He be this, that, and the third. Nah, man, this man is. This man's a straight shooter. He wants. He wants the best for his son.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, I totally agree with you. I look at the AJ Debaska situation, you know, his pops and his mom are right there, full circle, taking care of things from.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Taking care of everything. Brown Jr. Too, man.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And. And keep the leeches away now.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Absolutely.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

You know, I. I smooth. I may not see all of them, Jeremy, you know what I mean?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

But I might.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

I'm catch a few. I'm gonna catch a few, but damn, if you can help me out, you know?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Hey, yeah.

[Darnell Jones]

Cause you need.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

I'm telling. I'm just keeping it 100, bro. I'm just keeping it 100.

[OnPlus Nicotine Pouches Advertiser]

It's.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

It's a difficult, huh?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

I mean, people used to pull up on me. I used to give my dad number,

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

you know what I'm saying?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

They used to come at.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Man. Man, what's up, man?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Let me holl at you, man. Boop, get my dead number. Hey, okay. I got you.

[Amazon Prime Narrator]

Boop.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Sending my dead number. I sent him right down the street.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Hey, think about this now, though. German smooth. Hell, now we ain't gotta do nothing. I'm just gonna slide in in butter. Dms. Hey, hey, hey, young man, listen, if y' all don't think that ain't going on, y' all tripping.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Oh, that's oh, that's going on to the tempo, man.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Jeremy, you don't think that's going on, bro?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Hey, you gotta, you gotta check all the DMs. Tick tock.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

I think right now they, they got, they got the right buffers around them. They got the right buffers. Like you were saying, A.J. deBancer with his family that them kids can't even get to him. And, and AJ is such a different, different kid. I don't, I don't know him. But from hearing him speak and, and understanding his demeanor, I think he's in the right, right headspace, right mind.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

That's, that's the biggest key, bro.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Exactly. You know what I'm saying? And that's, that's why I love some of these young kids that got that mindset of understanding what it is and where they are. And I think one of the ones

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

that I ain't gonna say a lot, I think like the top five or tops, most of the top picks of this year's draft have a strong, you know, forefront when it comes to the parents. You know what I'm saying? Caleb Wilson, his parents are.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yep.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

It was like they, they, you know, they locked in. You got the boozers, then you got a Darren Peterson. And also like you said, we just said aj, the banter, all those guys, Mikhail Brown, it looked like a cuff parents is solid and, and connected around him. So all these guys that, that are being successful in this space, it looks like it's coming from a two parent household or if it's not, they're allowed, the mom is allowing the father to be present.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Right. And it looks like they all great kids. And for me, for a guy who really enjoys watching the game, playing the game, I mean still to this day, live and breathe it like I like seeing cats, bro, who really enjoy playing the game. Aj, Love playing the game. Caleb love playing the game. Dan Peterson loves playing booze, loves playing acuffs. Like I, I like to see that part, you know what I mean? Because the passion that you have for the game, bro, you can't hide that. You know, either you, either you enjoy playing or you don't. And all them dudes, I mean, they all been having a microphone in their face for the past.

[Amazon Prime Narrator]

When you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance. Sometimes production shoots, interviews or something I've got to travel for on a short notice. Like the time when I had the last minute trip to Denver and everything came together fast. Once it was locked in, I had to Be ready to go. That's where Amazon prime can make a difference. When something comes together quickly, you can get what you need like grooming essentials, neck pillow, eye mask, even snacks for the flights. So you're ready to show up for it with same day delivery. All those items show up on time and still make the trip. So you can show up and focus on why you're there and and not everything around it. Because at that point it's not just about getting there, it's about making the most of the opportunity in front of you. That's what I like about Prime. It makes easy to say yes when the moment shows up. Same day delivery. It's on prime available in select areas. Terms apply. Visit Amazon.comprime to find millions of items delivered fast.

Tony Allen was talking about earlier. Look, we got Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Hakeem Elijah, and Ben Wallace, Dikembe Mutombo, Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, Rudy Gobert. Excuse me. Draymond Green. The round off the top 10. Then after that, you go David Robinson, Kawhi Leonard, Dwight Howard, Gary Payton, Michael Jordan. And then you got. Oh, he. That's what it was. You seen ta on here that. That LeBron was ahead of him.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Yeah, ta like 23 round. What, 22.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah. Yeah, it is, Brian. 22. Ta 23.

Did you say Dwight Howard, though?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Yeah, he said Dwight.

[Darnell Jones]

Okay.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, I think he's white 13. I'm gonna keep it 100 with your hell. I mean, it's some tough ones in that top eight with. With Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, kg, Hakeem, Ben Wallace, Dikembe Mutombo, Dennis Rodman, Scotty Pimmer. But Dwight was a smooth. No. Yeah. Who grew up with him. But we played it. We played him. We played in real playoff series against that man. That man was defensive player of the year. He was clogging up the paint by his damn self, telling you, hey, facts. Hey, you seen Ta on here? Ta went in, man. Ta said, hey, hey. I told Ta I said, man, all them damn jobs LeBron gotta do, bro. You want him to chase the best player around for the whole damn guy, how you think he gonna be able to do all the jobs he got to do, man?

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

I'm with TA on the bit, though. TA had to guard everybody. And G A told y', all, if he ain't doing that, he ain't playing.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

That what he's supposed to. Basically, we say he's supposed to did that.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was his only job.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

He can't take one break.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

He can't. He can't. And that's how it was, bro.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Yeah, but see, he. He definitely did take one break, but I think Joe was trying to tell him, like, he couldn't take one break on that's one thing. LeBron had eight things.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

That's what I was saying. Yeah.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

You know what I mean?

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

I absolutely agree, but we talking about one list of one thing.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Yeah, but if. If. But if. If. If I tell you, if somebody specified what they needed you to do, you know what I'm saying? As far as, like, in the league, I just need you to do this one thing.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

No, I agree with you.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

I agree with you.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

You will have longevity. And, you know, you.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

You.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

You would have probably played 12, 13 years.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

I agree with you.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

I'm just saying, though, just one thing. You know what I'm saying?

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, I get it, bro.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Yeah.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Check this out.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

NBA players, though, he was elite at it, though.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

That was elite, though. Like you said, though, elite for sure.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

I tell you, I play. I played with TA a year, and we were down. We were down 20 to Golden State. This is. This is Clay and all them, they're a little young at this time, but they still boogie. And we down 20. We get back in the game, and TA in the middle of the game, he come out of bench. I'm about to get this deal. I'm sitting over there like, yeah, okay, whatever. I kid you not. That man got that steal, that same play. He knew exactly what was coming. It was extremely impressive. I think that was one of the first games where he started doing the first team. First team, first team.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

But people don't know how smart of IQ you have to. Have to, man.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

There you go.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

You gotta. You gotta really. You gotta really got. You gotta really, like, watch a person's whole game, you know what I'm saying? Like, you gotta watch the game.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Yeah.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

And maybe more than one time, you know what I'm saying? Just to be able to see, you know what I'm saying? Just pay attention to details of how he scores, where you wanna score the ball at, how you can make him, like, counter to what you want him to like what you want them to do.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

And that man is flowers again, man. If it's one person I wish I could have took more from being, like, watching them develop and play and all of that was Tony. Tony's from Chicago. It's kind of a Chicago thing. You got Darnell, Chicago, Tony Chicago. And sitting there, learning from Tony, I wish I would have took a little more of that in. Because he's the ultimate pro, man. Because if he doesn't do what he did, like he said, man, he's probably overseas somewhere. But Tony was. Was the ultimate pro. Walk around his laptop watching film all three hours before the game, playing future the whole time.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

That's tone. Oh, yeah, listen.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

He's able to revive his career after that. That crazy injury he did when, you know, he dunked that ball and came down and, you know, it was a dead ball and towards acl. He was able to come back and. And stay, you know what, 10 more years after that was special.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Oh, yeah, his for me, man. Cause he guarded me, you know, a lot. It was him being able to anticipate. He had great. And you know, he was great at anticipating, you know, timing your dribbles, you know, timing your steps. And that's what great defenders do, bro. I always felt like, though, if you was a pretty good offensive guy, like, I ain't never really thought you should have been bad defensively. You know what I mean? Jeremy smooth. Meaning, like, because you so good offensively, you should be able to like. I feel like defense is a will. It's a want to. You have to want to play defense. Cause you should be able to be able to anticipate guys before they do moves because you've done them so many times. It's body language and how people move. And if you watch enough film and you lock in, bro, but when you out here doing eight, nine other different things, some gonna have to take a little backseat, you know what I mean? And ta one line, he wasn't lying now, but you ain't putting Brian on the best player no whole damn game. And you want him to go do 10 other different things. No, sir, Rebob. It don't happen like that. Hey, NBA players. Achilles tendon tears are linked to small spikes in playing time, study finds. A recent study found that players log more, more minutes than their season averages during the 10 to 15 games before their Achilles tendons rupture. What do you guys think about Achilles tears? Smooth, you tore your Achilles in the big three. Hold on. Before you get to your story, Jeremy, he tore his Achilles in the big three. Guess who had to wheel him through the airport? Yeah, look like, look how God work. Look, I see, I, I, I, I, I come to the airport, I see Smooth. He's struggling and bugging. He had a wheelchair. I'm like, damn, what going on? I said, come on, man. Let me get that, man. Roll it, man, up there. Hey, hey, Smooth, Tell us, man. Tell us about that Achilles tendon tear, bro.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

It's not, it's nothing to play with, man. It's no joke.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

I'm saying, did you feel. Before you tore it, did you feel anything? Like, did you feel it getting weak? Did you have any problems a week prior or it just, it was normal?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

No, I didn't. I mean, I think, I think I. When I dunked the ball, because I haven't did it in a long time. I think it probably put my body in the shot, you know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? Like, kind of like, you know, when I was playing the big three, I already had my mind made up on how I was going to play it. Yeah, I was going. I wasn't trying to go 100%, you know what I'm saying? You already know it's a great league, but, you know, you got to be able to. You don't want, you don't want to go out like, you don't want to blow a tire like that.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, I really.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

In that type of environment, you know what I'm saying? I would have rather did it in the NBA if I was going to do it, you know what I'm saying? But for me to, for me to be able to have a healthy career like that and then go to the big three and then do that it was kind of like I didn't. I didn't pick a ball up for a minute. But, hey, I don't know. Them low shoe I used to wear, like mids and highs. I don't know. I'm. I'm trying to blame all kind of stuff. Maybe because I had some lows on. I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't know how it happened, but I. I pump faked it and try to try to pull off that right, but it failed. I looked back.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

I'm saying, you thought. Did you look back? You thought somebody tripped you like it normally happened? Yeah.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

When I looked back and I ain't see nobody there, I was like. I knew what it was. I just. I just shook my head, man. I was like. I couldn't believe it, man.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Listen, when we were playing here for the Atlanta Hawks, 2000. This had to be 2009, Jeremy. I was sitting out. I don't know if Smooth remember this, but they had set me out for like a week. Smooth. Y' all went on west coast trip. I think you had done cut up. You had them balled out. West coast trip. I was here in Atlanta with Wally Blaze getting treatment every day.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

It was your calf, right?

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, it was my calf. My calf was sore. I had a knot. I literally had a knot in my Achilles, in the middle of my Achilles. And Doc told me. He was like, it's gonna pop if you keep playing. So they end up shutting me down, Jeremy. So the team going off, I'm just going to the arena every day, just getting treatment, me and Wally Blaze. And after about two days of treatment, I'm like, blaze, man, I gotta break a sweat, bro. I ain't broke no sweat. Like, they gonna come back off this road trip, you know, they gonna throw me back out there. I'm already 35, 40 minutes a night. You know what's gonna happen? He was like. Cause, you know, with that type of injury, Smooth German, you can't. It's hard to walk, let alone jog. Get on a bike. You can't do none of that. Like, when that thing inflamed, it's a rap, bro. You know what I mean?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

So.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

So he said. He said, man, you should come try hot yoga with me and my wife. I look at him, general like, man, I ain't finna do no damn hot yoga. That's exactly what I told him, man. Doing a damn hot yoga. And boom. I grabbed my badge, move. I left. His wife called me on the way to the crib. She was like, joe, I think you should come try the hot yoga to loosen up your quad muscles, take the pressure off your knees. It'll loosen up your hamstring, take the pressure off your low back. It'll loosen up your calf muscles, and it'll take the pressure off your Achilles. So I'm like, all right, she didn't told me something. Now I'm willing to do anything to get back right, get back healthy. Y' all finna come back off the road smooth. I'm ready to get back out there, get to some action, right? Boom, Jeremy. I go in there, I meet up. I meet them up there, we do the hot yoga class, bro, I've never in life sweated this hard in my life, bro. I felt like a totally different person at the class after class I'm talking about, I felt like my movement was better. My body had done opened up, you know what I mean? I ain't here. I still got some aches and pains, but I feel pretty damn good. Boom. Blaze, tell me. He said, just meet me at the arena the next day, and we just come follow up with treatment. I said, all right, cool. But I was so geeked. I'm like, man, I'm going back tomorrow. Cause I felt good. I felt like if I go two days in a row. He was like, nah, don't, don't, don't, don't go two days in a row. Just come to the ring and get treatment. I was like, all right, cool. But I still went anyway. I ain't telling you, man. I almost passed out in class because I ain't understand hydration. Hydration. I ain't understand, like, how to hydrate, how to replenish the body. Because hot yoga, although it's a detox and it takes all the bad out. Hell, it takes. It takes all the good, too. So you have to put the good back in. I ain't understand that early. I'm just going, you know what I mean? I'm getting my little stretch on because I wasn't flexible at all. I couldn't, like, you know, touch my toes or none of that. And without flexibility, you know, you bound to get injured. You know what I mean? That's what they kept telling me. So, man, I took a liking in the yoga, bro, for Wally Blaze, who hooked me up. But if it wasn't for that, I probably would have had a real major Achilles tear. I'm talking about. I literally had a knot in mind, like I couldn't even walk in the morning, bro. That's how bad it was. So hopefully, you know, we don't have no more Achilles tears to, you know, none of our top guys in the league, bro.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

But.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

But it's unfortunate because this is what we talk about. Jeremy and Smooth, you know, these guys take the regular season. They just kind of take it as a joke. Not necessarily as a joke, but they don't really take it that serious. They wanna, you know, hurry up and get to the postseason. Well, when we get to the post season and you out there going full throttle, and you ain't went full throttle all damn year, that's when we starting to see these tears. Because every possession is idle at an all time high. You know what I mean? Like you playing your hardest. Like you. So I can kind of see how these Achilles tears are happening, but I hope they can crack down on it. Man, I. I seen my boy Dame Lill. I said he been in the gym. He looked good, man. He looked like he getting back. And you seen him, Jeremy, man, that.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Man, that gym. Every day. Every day, working hard. Gotta admire, man. Gotta admire it.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

For sure, I do, bro. You know, you feeling so good.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

I seen him running some 17s like you back. Back in high school.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

I seen it too, bro.

[T-Mobile Advertiser Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

And don't sleep on what's going on up there in Portland right now.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

What you mean, what's going on? What, what you got?

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

You, you, you. You see what they just did in the first round? You getting Dame back. And they just made a move, man. Them. Them people.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Them people doing something.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

They went and got Ja. Jeremy. They can't keep. They can't keep. All them guards. You got School Henderson, you got Drew Holiday. You can't keep. Can't run for some.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Gotta change. But what they got up there, they got some up there.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

They got some. But here's the question.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Round team for sure.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. They got something. But here's a question. Will Ja, as great as he is with the ball in his hand, smooth, would y' all be able to play off ball? Cause we know Dame can play off ball. Hell, he can catch and shoot with the best of them.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

That's what I was about to say he has. We got to see what. What job been doing as far as his floor space. Can he catch a shoot? Can he skinny? Can he space the floor like, like, like how you said Dame can do? Or like how Drew don't mess with the art of art of space in the floor as well. So that's gonna be the next evolution, next step of sin. That's the only way that this whole thing is going to be able to work if. If guys are able to play off ball a little bit, let the other guy kind of like run the offense or be able to get touch paint whenever. To be able to, you know, make teammates better as well, too, to kind of take that pressure off a job. Other, Other guards.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, hey, hey, y' all both know, man, the point guard position nowadays is at a premium. Meaning, man, if you can't score the ball, hell, if you can't shoot the ball. And that's the. My only concern. Jeremy, when we talk about Portland, 3 point percentage has been bad, bro. I think he had, I. I think he low 20s, man. If I ain't mistaken you, you don't

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

have jobs had him take more off the dribble. And Memphis, he had. Nobody can get off the ball and handle that ball and create for him. Now you getting up there to Portland, where you got. Dana's gonna handle the ball, you got Drew that can handle the ball, and you got Scoop. Whether they bring him off the bench or not, that can also create open shots for him. I'm not saying he gonna go up there and shoot 45%, but when Dame's shooting that ball at the clip, he's going to shoot it at. They got to help off somebody. And that's an easier shot for Ja to take his time. And I'm sure he's in the gym because he, he's got some get back he wants to get, I'm sure, for sure.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, I. I want to see Ja get back to having fun, man, enjoying the game, smiling, you know, doing his little celebration antics. But I ain't gonna lie to y', all, bro. I ain't gonna lie. I'm a little worried because, you know, it's. It's a lot different when he was in Memphis and he had the ball in his hands every damn possession. So it ain't really. It ain't really that hard, you know, to get in rhythm. Now you in Portland, you got. You gonna have at least two other elite guards next to you, meaning Dame, Lillard, Drew Holiday, or School Hen. You gonna have at least two of them. And I don't know if the rep's gonna be enough, bro. I'm gonna be honest with y'. All. I don't know if the rep's gonna be enough for him to really get in ref form, for him to really kind of get that gain that confidence back. I hope it is. But if he struggles with shooting, with shooting the shooting the basketball, you know, playing off these guys, it's, it's going to be a lot tougher than what I think people anticipate, bro.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

I think they got, I think they got better, I think they got better players around them now like Danny, Danny has come on in at a.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

That's exactly what I'm saying. You making my point.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

But, but they make that move, they got to let him be who he is. They got to let him be who he is. Because if you don't, I think, but

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

I think, I think he's the, he's the only point guard out of all those four that could just touch paint whenever he wants to though. So he, he, he, he creates a different type of advantage over the rest of those guards because you know, you gotta like, like Damien Lillard's coming off of a ACR injury. So. But even before that he wasn't really trying to go to the hole and, and touch paint for real like that. He was, he was doing step back jump shots and, and shooting deep threes.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

You know, I think Drew Holiday is more of a setup set up guard, but he's getting older, so I don't think, you know, touch and paint at will is, is, is part of his game anymore.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

And yeah, you know, School Henderson, he, he's another guy that could touch paint as well, but I haven't seen him be an elite playmaker yet. So I, I would like to see him take the next step of being more of an elite playmaker. And you know, because he, he has the athleticism and the physicality to be able to get in the paint. But I want to see him make his teammates better as well. See, see how he can see the floor a little bit better, you know what I mean?

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Hey, I'm with you on this move because he showed me some of that spurs series in that first round, them first two games in San Antonio. Yeah, I'm telling you, look, we know the defenders that San Antonio got, they couldn't do nothing with him. That them first two games, bro.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Yeah, confidence doing that moment when that confidence that, that confidence carrying over into next year. No change.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, but, but look though, that's what I'm talking about. Like damn school had a great showing in the postseason, but now he coming here, he behind three damn other point guard. Yeah, the coach, how he posted. How you supposed to be able to get his off, you feel what I'm saying? So I don't Know, man, I hope Portland figured out, obviously they got a good problem. Hopefully, you know, all those guys stay healthy. I'm looking forward to a dame. One of my favorite players to watch. So. Yeah, they gonna be a lot of fun. Hey, fellas, I don't know if y' all been watching the WNBA, but Olivia Miles for Minnesota this season, she's averaging 19.7 points per game, 4.7 rebounds, five, about six assists. 30, 30, 50, 38, 88. That's a stat line. 50 from the field, 38 from the three. 88 from the free throw line. So she almost 50, 40, 90.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Making it look easy.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Joe, man, listen, she would be the highest scoring rookie point guard since 97. Jeremy, you right. She smooth. I don't know if you seen her play, bro.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

No, I seen her. You know, I watched her when she was at Notre Dame.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Oh, did you?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Yeah, and then she went to TCU last year, but she's cold. She wanted the ones for sure. I'm definitely. I'm definitely a fan, man.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Bro, look, she went off against the fever today for 28 and had six assists, 11 for 14 from the field, three for six from three. Man, shout is so nice. Man, I'm talking about, like, when you watch pace.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

I can't wait till they get that.

[Darnell Jones]

When they.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

When they get the other girl back. What's the.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Oh, she back. Nuh, it's. What is it? Yeah, she back.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

She's cold. She cold. Now they. They got an opportunity to probably win the whole thing now. Now that she back, though.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Hey, smooth. That's exactly what I was gonna say, bro. Man, listen, Jeremy, when I watch Olivia Miles, bro, you know, we watch great point guards.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

The.

[Darnell Jones]

The.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

The.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

The most glaring thing that sticks out is their. Their patience, their poise, their pace that they play with. You know what I mean? Bro, she can see. It's the dime she make. It ain't just the scoring for me, man. It's like the feel for the game. Or do you look comfortable out there? Like, her moves look like dudes. Like, she out there. She hitting girls with. I'm talking about a yank snatch. I'm talking about. Come on, man. That girl got a total package. Smooth, you right. I think they got a great chance. They got a great chance to compete for a title. I'm still rooting for. For atl, though. I'm still rooting for atl. Jeremy, you like watching. You like watching Olivia Miles, bro, you got to.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

If you appreciate the game and you see the pace she plays with and how she finds her teammates and she's getting to the basketball and the fact that she's almost 40, 50, 90 is unreal, bro.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

And, and she got that, she, she got that little flare in the game too that I like. Yeah. I mean, somebody who everything.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Yeah.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Smooth. She want all the smoke out there, man, for a shorty can play, bro. She got game like, hey, look, I spend my money to go check out, you hear me?

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

And she letting the girls know that they can't guard her.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Oh yeah.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Every time she's barking, she barking at them.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, yeah. She got a little chip on her shoulder. I like that though. Check me out. It's time.

When you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance. Sometimes production shoots, interviews or something I've got to travel for on a short notice. Like the time when I had the last minute trip to Denver and everything came together fast. Once it was locked in, I had to be ready to go. That's where Amazon prime can make a difference. When something comes together quickly, you can get what you need like grooming essentials, neck pillow, eye mask and even snacks for the flights. So you're ready to show up for it with same day delivery. All those items show up on time and still make the trip. So you can show up and focus on why you're there and not everything around it. Because at that point, it's not just about getting there, it's about making the most of the opportunity in front of you. That's what I like about Prime. It makes easy to say yes when the moment shows up. Same day delivery. It's on Prime. Available in select areas.

Hey, man. Hey. Hey, man, y' all look good, bro. I ain't gonna lie. You know, everybody. Well, a lot of people had 305 repeating, and y' all knocked them off. I see you, you know, four point king trait. Look at him. Look at him. Oh, man, he's some work. I locked that. He know I locked that up. No, sir.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Yeah, it's getting tight.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

I've seen Lance Stevenson and Michael Beasley were terrific in their own right.

[OnPlus Nicotine Pouches Warning/Disclaimer]

Yeah.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

22 and 21. 43 of Miami's 47 points between those two. They just need a little help here. They couldn't get no help.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Yeah, yeah, but we gave. We gave. We gave him the game late, man. We let them go on the run late. That's a good team. And if they get in the playoffs, it's going to be a tough out for somebody.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

It is, bro. It is. Anytime you got Lance Stevenson and Bees on the team. That two head monster, bro, you know, they could probably get theirs. You just can't let them other guys get involved. And that's kind of, you know, I see what y' all did. Y' all got a lot of guys who can guard, knock down the three. Y' all athletic enough to stay with them, and a lot of teams ain't got that, bro.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Yeah, and that was one of the Focus that GP had when he was putting the team together and shout out to GP for allowing us to be who we are, man, and. And having our back through it all. Because GP been. Been screaming for me as much as he can all season.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

That's what's up, bro. That's what's up, man. Keep going. I see you. The finalists as far as, you know, MVP talk. I know you still a lot more work left to do, but keep going, bro.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Jeremy, Brandon McCoy is actually from Chicago. Played high school ball in LA. At one point, he was the number one player in the country.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah. Brandon McCoy went for 19 points. Alongside him, Jordan Crawford, my guy, added 12 and six assists in the ride, shot 52% and won the glass 20 to 15. LA is firmly in the driver's seat for the fourth and final playoff spot. But DMV, and they are in. They gotta beat DMV, and they are in. Dwight picked a hell of a week, bro. Come back and show up. Just probably.

Montreal Harris just keep eating. 19 points, 14 rebounds. Jeremy, if I'm keeping it 100. If you don't win MVP, bro, he gonna win it. He gonna win it. I'm gonna tell you why. Now, I know he didn't play fewer games than y', all, but he. He gonna have a mean double double. He probably gonna finish the season. He probably gonna be at at least 26 a game. He had 19, so he probably gonna finish the season at about. At about 26 a game. That boy had been eating.

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

Yeah. Yeah, he has. I was watching the game today, and Jimmy. Jimmy Jackson was talking about the NBA rule in terms you got to play 79 of the games.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one.

In the Big Three, ain't nobody.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Every time I run into TI he, you the first person he bring up. He always asks about you, bro.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Yeah, that's my dog right there.

They stick together now. Alexandro. Jeremy Pargo, Euro legend from. How you say Olympic. How you say it, Jeremy?

[Jeremy (co-host or guest)]

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, Olympiacos fan. You got some fans in the chat, man.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Those Olympiacos.

[Lingokids Advertiser]

What I appreciate you.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

I'm not saying. I'm just saying, said Jodeci, my goat. But artists like Donnell Jones and Horace Brown was the ones. Was the ones between the show, the After Party album and the kickbacks. Jones, natural thing HB he yy r b 90, 96 be making babies that r b 90 to 96, man. R b 90. Y' all already know how it is. Y' all know what's going on. I can't even see this. This next name, but pg. Pg, dummy. Fellas, I'm from Pittsburgh. Malik Thomas went to Arkansas. What advice can you give to the other Pittsburgh athletes who Want to go D1? What advice would you give leak to have a long career in the league, man, meet a leak? The advice I would give him is continue to grind. I work the competition, develop a routine because Malik was a second round pick. But he led the summer league, I think, in scoring at like 28 a night. And, you know, people. People counted him out smooth, you know what I mean? And nobody think he was gonna be able to do this, bro. So he came in, did his thing in summer league with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and obviously I know he gonna get a. You know, he'll stick around for a minute. He'll play well off Donovan and James Harden and all those guys. So.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

The dog too, man. Oh, man, he's always gonna find a way to. To get minutes. I mean, I'm pretty sure Kyler Perry didn't. Didn't expect him to play that many minutes. Throughout the season. But he showed. He showed why he was able to stay on that floor, man. And I think he's the implementer player. The reason why Kyler Perry is telling the. The. The. The new. New regime that came in, that, hey, look, I'm gonna play dolls, you know what I'm saying? I think that's because of Malik and Acuff. They demonstrated that type of mentality when they stepped on the floor. Especially being that young, I think. I think he gonna. I think he gonna give himself opportunity just because of who he is as a player.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Yeah, got that dog mentality. Ain't gonna be denied, you know what I mean? A hard worker gonna put the work in. Gonna come to work every day. Hey, you're right, man. Hey, once you figure that out as a young player, bro, you put the work in, everything else will come. Like people, people.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

People freely give you information.

[Host (possibly Joe or Jeremy)]

Oh, yeah.

[Smooth (possibly a former athlete or co-host)]

Honestly, no one wants to think about hiv, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like prep. Prep stands for pre exposure prophylaxis and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to hiv to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices. Ask a healthcare provider about all your prevention Options, and visit findoutaboutprep.com to learn more. Sponsored by Gilead this episode is brought
