[A]

No, I missed you. I missed you a great deal. And I got my butt back. I didn't watch the Super Bowl. At the Super Bowl. I watched it from my couch. I mean, Bad Bunny performance.

[B]

You know, just to. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really have. Trying to get this parenting thing down, but.

[A]

Whoa. You want to. Do you want to handle that? Go ahead and handle it a few moments later. Yeah. But when I tell you these back to back weekends, I am definitely in my late 30s because these back to back weekends like to kill me.

[B]

They taking you out. They taking you out.

[A]

They taking me out All Star weekend. I didn't have a lot in the tank. I'll be honest, for NBA All Star. I went out one night, had a great time. There's always amazing events, but I slept in my bed and I was pretty much in my bed at like 12:30.

[B]

I can't lie every night. I know we might get to NBA All Star later in this, but the dunk contest, You know.

[A]

Well, they fixed The All Star Game. Let's start with one fix.

[B]

Okay. That's true.

[A]

Entertaining. I really enjoyed watching it. I thought Wimby brought it. Obviously, the people that weren't interested in playing Luca and Jokic, just set out the whole rest of the game, and I was able to cash in on my prize picks because I bet unders on both of them. But, yeah, it. It's. It's crazy. Yeah, we'll. We'll get to the dunk contest later.

[B]

That literally scared me. That was a jump scare for me.

[A]

Hey, so are you 11 basketball fan?

[B]

I am.

[A]

I was on a panel with Sonal Aan and Gina, who. Gina, actually.

[B]

My gosh.

[A]

Directed. Directed and wrote Love and Basketball.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

To my left or to my right. Sorry. Stage to my right is my goat, Cheryl Miller. And then we got Jane Kennedy. We got Carrie Champion. Like, we. Yeah, Laura Coates. Like, we had such a great panel and a great discussion in front of, you know, it was HBCU hosted. It was their film film festival, and it was just a great room. I learned a lot. We laughed. We talked about the impact of, you know, the movie on an entire generation and a culture and the continued impact and got to share some stories about what it's like to grow up and, you know, emulate. I mean, I did tell them I was Monica Wright because, I mean, think about it.

[B]

Because that made sense. No, you're right. I'm kind of like, no, you are.

[A]

Yeah, I feel like I am Monica Wright. So it was. It was a. It was a great. It was a great experience. So. Yeah. All right, it's time for what we want to talk about.

[B]

Well, I know where I want to start personally, and you probably are going to be like, girl, bye. But. Okay. Finalist for the 2026 Basketball hall of Fame.

[A]

Ay.

[B]

Turn up. Turned up. Why are you not dancing with me? Why am I the only one?

[A]

I'm dancing. I just like, the announcement of those that are eligible and then announcing the finalists. To me just seems like you could just. Just tell us if we're in or out, because I feel like it's. Yeah, it's interesting because people are like, congratulations. And I'm like, thank you, but I'm not in. And they're like, you're not? And they're like, wait a second. So I think there's just a lot of confusion around there. But other notable finalists. Blake Griffin, my teammate, like Elena Delladon, played against her for years. Amazing. 1996 U.S. women's National Team, which inspired an entire generation. Those on that team. Lisa Leslie, Dawn Staley. I couldn't believe that Shamika Holzkaw was not already in the hall of Fame. So shout out to my Tennessee sister, Jennifer A. Mari Stoudemire. Doc Rivers amongst the other finalists. So, yeah, it's the waiting game. The induction class will be announced on Saturday, April 4, on ESPN2. So hopefully. The suspense is killing me. No, I'm just kidding. Did Ozzy just.

[B]

Yes, he did. Yes, he tried to speak.

[A]

Hey, so you've been. You've been a little busy this past week. Should we talk about your week?

[B]

I've been pooping.

[A]

Nah. Last Monday, I had to FaceTime you right away. I hit you with the FaceTime. But here's the thing. I think talking to before your games, I want to keep track of what your average is with that because, I mean, you dropped 33 points in a close 76, 73 win over the Vinyl. I mean, straight up master class. 16 rebounds, four assists, four blocks, one steal, three three pointers.

[B]

Sniper gang.

[A]

Okay, stop.

[B]

I'm working on my celebration. Just wait till you see it.

[A]

Boston three party. Let's go. But you and KP became the first teammates to both have 30 in a contest. KP followed it up with 30 points. Yeah, like, you guys look good. I'll be honest. You guys look really good.

[B]

I didn't realize that KP like, had 30 till the end of the game. And I was like, dang, we really cooked.

[A]

You were just paying attention to yourself.

[B]

No, I wasn't paying attention to anything. I'm just saying, like, we were hooping and then everybody was like, you guys both had 30. I was like, period. No, I knew how much I had, but I'm just saying.

[A]

That's what I was saying. You knew?

[B]

Yeah, no, I knew how much I had, but I was like, dang. We was hoping. Playing with KP is so fun. It's literally so fun.

[A]

Especially the dribble handoff back cut. You guys, like, executed it like it was a. Like it was a warm up drill. Like, you know how in practice they go over, like the offense in plays.

[B]

To get you warm up?

[A]

You guys did every single cut off of that. It was like the first cut back door dime, then the second one, you dribble handoff, three behind the dribble handoff, then dribble handoff, and then she hit you with the roll. Then it was. I was just like.

[B]

We just continue to pick them apart.

[A]

They're just. Yeah, it was. It was a lot of fun to watch you all in that Game. You guys are currently 8 and 3, second in the standings. You clinched a playoff spot. You were fighting for that buy. So right now the F, you know, top two teams in unrivaled have a buy. The other four playoff teams have to play to then play the top two seeds. After 11 games, you're averaging a double double, 18 points, 10 rebounds. I'm gonna give you everything. 18.0 points per game and 10.1 rebound.

[B]

You don't have to give.

[A]

I'm gonna give you that point one. You worked hard for that point one rebound. But literally we're seeing your name all over the stats leaderboard. First in blocks, fourth in rebounds, fifth in steals. I'm sure you're probably number one in hacks because I literally don't even foul.

[B]

You know what, though? You know what? Honestly, I'm starting to realize that I'm really starting to foul less because I just. I just don't even pay attention to the refs anymore. I just play if they call a file. I'm like, dang, shorty, you got me. Ah. I don't even have to argue. And I realize that that's bringing me so much more peace. And I'm not even fouling because I'm mad at a bad call before. You know what I'm saying? It's just freedom. Who knew that when you don't pay attention to that and you don't crash out, it's like, ah, vibes are good.

[A]

You know, this is crazy that you came to this conclusion by yourself when everyone and their mama has been trying, including your mama, has been trying to tell you to calm down and not crash out. I've seen. No, you know, I've seen the growth though, and I love it. 24. 24 looks good on you. Heck, 24 looks good on you. Also had some shakeups with the teams as a result of Arie McDonald's season ending injury, which when were trades talked about in unrivaled. But hey, I've only been a part of it for two years, so I don't know. But basically, as a result of that injury, the Breeze BC received Courtney Williams from the vinyl. So the vinyl traded Courtney Williams received Sia Rivers from the Hive. So they got her out of the the Cellar, the Bottom cellar and the Hive receive Azerae Stevens from the Rose BC but then the Rose did not get anything back. Yeah, they didn't get anything back. But then drum roll please. Which has already been announced, but. Oh, was that. Oh, you did a drum. Okay, you did a drum Roll.

[B]

You didn't like it?

[A]

I did. Thought it was great. Didn't really know quite what it was, but it sounded great. Then it was announced that Angel Reese is coming back to the Rose. She was the rebounding leader last year and defensive player of the year from the inaugural season. And I do think that she's going to give the Rose a boost. But it begs the question of, like, what's the developmental pool?

[B]

Literally.

[A]

If you're just like, we're going to go outside, which I think it was a great pickup if you can do it. But it's just. Yeah. The rules in place are a little questionable how you trade something and don't.

[B]

Get anything back, and then you pull from outside.

[A]

And then you pull from outside. So, hey, can't beat them, Join them. I'm with it. There's no rules. You can't break them.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

I want to get to the main event.

[B]

My gosh. The.

[A]

I was trying to come up with something. You know, I had some time. Like the Thunder from down Under. The Rumble in the. Like. I don't know what. The thrill in Manila. I was trying to come up with something for that. For the unrivaled 1v1 tournament. Hey, post up. Submit what we should call this in Miami. The. Something in Miami.

[B]

I'm out here in Miami.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Looking for. Okay. Okay.

[A]

You're not adding to.

[B]

I did way better this year, though, than I did.

[A]

Hey. Hey. And I did way better. I absolutely love Aaliyah Edwards. Right. Talked to her, actually, before the one on one tournament, that matchup. Yo, some of those clips. She's gonna have to bury them clips, man.

[B]

It was a good game.

[A]

So post ups. There was a 1v1 tournament that took place this past week. Everyone squared up. $200,000 on the line. First round. You were supposed to play Alyssa Thomas. I think everyone was looking forward to that. I really was looking forward to it because I thought it was not going to be basketball. I thought it was just going to be like, gloves off, like, and girl.

[B]

And I was just trying to hoop. Thank you. I know. But then the night before when they posted the things, I was like, oh, guess we're not playing.

[A]

Okay, well, you advanced to the second round.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And I think some key matchups. Yeah. You didn't play. Say her name.

[B]

First round. Yeah. Leticia.

[A]

Yeah, but what's her last name? Adir. Okay. You didn't play Leticia in the first round. I. What happened? She dropped out, too. Damn. You got two dropping out.

[B]

No, no, no, no, no. Honestly, her Situation was kind of crazy because they asked her, like, hella late, but she already had plans and was like, I mean, I get a week off. I'm like, girl, I don't blame you.

[A]

So why they put her in?

[B]

There's some things we'll never know the answer to, and that's going to be one of them.

[A]

We'll go. We'll go with it. Dang, you. Scaring off two first round foes. They were like, no, we don't want that. So some upsets in the first round. Sonia C. Tron beat Marina Mabry, and Ray Burrell beat Ryan Howard. You took down Stewie in the second round. You won 11. Seven. Man, him shoulders.

[B]

What's wrong with the. What?

[A]

You are so strong. I. I can't even. I remember the first time I played against you. And this is part of the reason. Like, you know how they say the welcome to the league moment? Now, I want to preface it by saying, post ups. My foot was broken. Okay? So I was playing on a broken foot. That game. I actually hurt my other foot, rolled my ankle. Anyway, Aaliyah comes down a lane. I'm guarding Aaliyah, and she want to put me in a basket for no reason. Like, you're ducking. And Becky's like, get around her. I'm like, okay, I'm open. I'm open for suggestions. How do you. How do you think I should do that? Like, my little self soaking wet. Want to get around you. Okay.

[B]

You know, so I don't think.

[A]

I think people underestimate Stewie. Definitely underestimated them. Shoulders.

[B]

Well, the one where she took the offensive foul, I was actually weak because I was like, reflect. I didn't even extend. I didn't even do nothing. Like. And they were like, no, you. You. You went into her space. I said, what if she was in my way?

[A]

Well, they're definitely gonna have to get reviews next year. I know it's gonna slow it down, but there were a couple.

[B]

No, I think so.

[A]

There were buzzers that kind of. You know. I know. Kp Will. We'll talk about that later. But she was a little upset about that. But you shut out Aaliyah Edwards 120 in the quarterfinals. So then it's the big four. Big four matchup. Aaliyah versus Alicia Gray. Kelsey Plum versus Chelsea Gray. Chelsea Gray loves getting down and creating, like, a story of, oh, no, the point God is down. She was down 8 to 0 versus Kelsey Plum and comes back and wins 12 8. So she scored 12 unanswered points. Then it was you and Alicia Gray.

[B]

It was the same situation. Damn near.

[A]

You got back. You got down. Because at first I was watching. I was like, oh, Aaliyah, I know.

[B]

Don't, girl. Imagine what you were saying. Imagine what I was saying. I was like, oh, this is not about to happen here today.

[A]

But you got it together. You got it together. It was touch and go there for a little bit on that one second to last possession, I wish you would have just faced up and got to your. Got to your spot. I know you were trying to get to the basket.

[B]

The one where I missed the jumper.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

Where I missed the turnaround.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I didn't know how much time was on the clock.

[A]

No, you don't want to get a shot clock violation. I understand that.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

But close. Alicia gray came out 12, 10 on top. So set up a showdown with gray versus gray, Chelsea gray versus Alicia gray. It's actually best of three in the finals, and, boy, did they look exhausted.

[B]

I know that. I know that hurt them so bad. I was tired watching them.

[A]

Do you remember Talladega Night where, like, the cars stop and they get out and they start, like, running? I felt like that was what it was when their hands were on their knees and they were breathing and they.

[B]

Were both standing there just like.

[A]

And they were just standing there and they didn't have timeouts left, but both of them, like, were like, hey, let's just take a personal timeout. Chelsea Gray again gets down to Alicia Gray, loses the first game, comes back, wins the next two. It was best of three to seven. It came down literally to the last possession.

[B]

It was crazy.

[A]

It was six, four, I think, for a really long time. And then Chelsea finally knocked down the three, which gave her seven. It was like a loose ball. Crazy off the rebound.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But if you look at Chelsea's run in the last four and a half years, it. It really is actually insane. You look at her. 2021, Olympic champion, 2022, FIBA world champion, 2022, WNBA. 2023, WNBA champion, 2024, Olympic champion, 2025, unrivaled, plus final and the championship, and then you got 2026 unrivaled. 1.

[B]

Lot of money right there, man. Damn.

[A]

You said that's a lot of money.

[B]

That's a lot. It's a lot of money right there, man.

[A]

All Lennox does is win, son. I was looking at some of the memes on there.

[B]

I was so happy. There were, like, Lennox pulling up to Unrival Daycare, and just like, I'm like, yo, this is Kind of crazy. This is bananas.

[A]

I just love the pictures through the years because I think it just shows, like, the growth of kids and. Yeah, it's just normal. She's. She's just mommy. And Lennox sure woke up the next morning and was like, I know you won the 1v1 tournament, but let me get my milk. Yeah, that's how kids are. Congratulations. USA Basketball announced its roster for next week's or next month's. Sorry, next month's FIBO World cup qualifying tournament, which will take place March 11th through the 17th in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Maybe you'll see Bad bunny. Benito, you better turn up your. Your Spanish a little bit. Oh, I'm practicing, but yeah. You want me to give you some lessons?

[B]

Hola. Como estas?

[A]

Do you know what. Do you know what pl. Plantains are?

[B]

Yeah, Pl.

[A]

Platanos. Okay.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

You got to get some platanos. And then it's a little early because it's usually August is when canepas, but they have this fruit called canas.

[B]

Okay, so you know that I'm from the is. We have like kaps.

[A]

But it's not canepas though.

[B]

But. But yes, it is. It's the same thing.

[A]

Okay, well, Puerto Rico Kras.

[B]

It's like connected. It's like a two minute plane. True.

[A]

I've been to St. Thomas on the little ferry. Yeah, you're right. It's mad close. Sorry.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

But I'm still going to school. You on Puerto Rico? Yeah, I went there. My. My. My brother's wife is Puerto Rican and so I've been there a couple times. We went there for the wedding. Played USA Basketball there, actually. So some of the best. Red beans and rice. Oros compo.

[B]

Okay, you're fluent.

[A]

You heard me roll my arm. Yeah, well, there was a surge in dual lingo after the Benito halftime performance. I might have been one of those people that started re upping on my Spanish, but. Kalia Copper, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, Dierka Hamby, Ryan Howard, Aaliyah Boston, Paige Becker, Sonia Citron, Caitlin Clark, Kiki Irafin and Angel Reese are going to be on that roster. Brianna Stewart will join in Miami for pre competition training camp. Oh, wow. And obviously notably missing. Nafisa Collier, Asia Wilson not on the roster as well as. Am I missing another?

[B]

Probably at.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Alyssa Thomas as well as. I'm missing one more. Come on. Sabrina Andescu is not on there as well. Those are other notable. And head coach Carol Lawson will lead the team in Puerto Rico. Natalie Nakase, Nate Tibbets and Stephanie White will serve as the assistant coaches, and Team USA technically already qualified. But this is a good. I mean, this is good prep, but it just is tough with timing. I know when I was playing USA Basketball was like, all the training camps were during your time off.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

So, yeah. Any thoughts? Like, how is the transition gonna be from three on three to five? I mean, you're gonna be in shape for sure.

[B]

I know we're gonna be in shape. I mean, it's gonna be. It's gonna be good. I mean, I'm excited. I mean, half the time people here are unrivaled anyways, so, I mean, you're playing against them, so it's going to be fun. I mean, anytime to wear USA and get to travel and play some good basketball, I'm down for it. So I'm excited.

[A]

I like that. Speaking of Brianna Stewart, it was announced today that she's rejoining Fenerbahce. She signed only for The Euroleague Final Six, which is April 15th through the 19th in Zaragoza, Spain, not far from her home in Catalonia, where her wife is from. WNBA training camp currently is slated to begin April 19th. That's my birthday. The same day as the Euroleague final, but the old CBA. The operative date for players to report is May 1st. So everyone obviously on social media, because that's what the Internet does, takes something and runs and basically says that because Stewie's signing there indicates that either the WNBA season is not starting on time or that it is possibly not happening at all. Thoughts?

[B]

I mean, I definitely hope it's not what everyone on social media is saying, but I mean, I mean, I think with the negotiations and stuff, we're just going to keep positive and see what happens. But good for Stewie making some extra bank. I feel her.

[A]

Yeah, I. I agree. I don't think it is any indication because again, you could. You could come back or you could also say that there was nothing in writing before this where mandated that you had to be back, but I just think it's interesting. Hey, get your bag for your six weeks. I'm all for that, but it's just weird because I feel like Unrivaled was established to not go overseas, but hey. And I just wonder what people are saying in terms of like the founder of Unrivaled going overseas. Have you been tuning into the Olympics?

[B]

I have seen a little bit. I'll tell you, I did. The thing that did catch my eye was Ms. Vaughn.

[A]

That man.

[B]

Yeah, that was kind of crazy.

[A]

Well, I love Lindsay Vaugh and actually was just gutted for her when she ruptured her ACL on the crash that happened even pre Olympics. But that's her heart. She decided she wanted to play. And I think when you decide that, you live with the results. You know, I've made a decision to, you know, play and try to fight through things and sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. But all the work she put in, I think she's able to make that decision. Obviously it didn't turn out well. She ended up breaking that leg on another fall. I think her shoulder clipped a flag or something like that.

[B]

That was just so crazy. Like, I just remember seeing like the training videos of her after she ruptured her acl. And I was like, she's going bananas.

[A]

And what was crazy was everyone was accusing her, which is, this is another thing that the Internet does is people try to tell, like experts try to say this, this and this without knowing all of the facts are being in it. She was like, I haven't taken any pain medicine. I'm not shot up. I've made this decision for myself to, you know, proceed. And so, yeah, I just, I, I think it's tough. And we've seen some of those injuries the last year or so with Tyrese Halliburton playing through his calf. Same thing with Dame. And you know, it's really tough when something like that happens. But again, as athletes, you can't turn it off and turn it on. Like, the reason why we are where we're at is because of that drive and because of that desire to continue. So good luck in your recovery, Lindsey. Sending you so much love. I realized through the Olympics, Winter Olympics especially, that I'm not doing enough with my life. Because if somebody can run a sub 6 minute mile wearing skis uphill.

[B]

Yeah, that's bananas. That's.

[A]

He's going 11 miles per hour. Look at this, he's going uphill.

[B]

Personally, I know my limits and that would be one of them.

[A]

That's jh. How do you say his name? Clabo I with the sub 6 pace uphill on skis. Like, what are we doing with our lives?

[B]

That's crazy. Not using free will enough, I'll tell you that. I just don't know. Like, when do you realize that, like, this is what you want to do?

[A]

Run a sub six mile and serious.

[B]

Like, what makes you wake up and you're like, you know what? Matter of fact, hell yeah, that's what I'm going to do.

[A]

What's the fastest mile you've ever ran?

[B]

Please don't embarrass me right now. It had to be back in like a you when you had to run them. Like I don't even know what my coach did, but we used to have to damn near record ourselves running our mile. Incentive to him because he had to make sure we were in shape.

[A]

I don't know, like estimate.

[B]

No, because people are going to think I'm slow.

[A]

I mean if your estimation is your true time.

[B]

No, like it like four minutes, duh. I don't know. Probably like, probably like seven or eight minutes.

[A]

Seven or eight? Yeah, yeah. I can't stand the mile.

[B]

I think it's such a scam because me running a mile doesn't tell you if I can go up and down. I promise you it doesn't.

[A]

Yeah, but it builds endurance.

[B]

No, it does not.

[A]

Yes it does. Cuz if you're. It does translate. Now it's a different type of translation, of course, but I know I was in really good shape. So I did cross country to get in shape for basketball. So I didn't compete in cross country, but I did cross country and I ran a five minute 42 second. I want to say it was like 48 or 42, I can't remember. Five minute 42 seconds. And I was in eighth grade and I'll never forget that.

[B]

Like, like why?

[A]

But then after that I was like this. I'm not ever doing that again. Like I, you know, would you throw up?

[B]

And you're like, yeah, that's too much. Runners are too fast. Runners, their mind is crazy.

[A]

No, runners have. And then I've never gotten the runners high.

[B]

That's what I say.

[A]

Listen, everybody's like, yeah, do. And I, I've run a long, long distance.

[B]

All I get is sad and I want to be done and I want to go home.

[A]

And in my thoughts, like when I'm running, it's just like. And it's just boring. I'm like, I don't. They're so. The time goes so slow. So runners, please send us suggestions. I'm not gonna run. But for those out there that want to know how to get the runners.

[B]

High, it's just not meant for me.

[A]

If you were to participate in a winter sport, what sport would you participate in?

[B]

Let me tell you, I wish that I could play hockey because I think it would be so fun to like ice skateboard. But then I don't want you to hit me. So that's my issue. But I've also never ice skated, so I don't know Why I would pick that one. But it seems like it would be kind of fun.

[A]

I feel like you would just slam people against the wall, but, like.

[B]

But then I don't want them.

[A]

But you'd be in the penalty box, like, a hundred percent of the time. Like, Aaliyah would just be sitting over there. She'd get up, go slam somebody else, crash out, and go back to the box. You just like to fight. That's why you.

[B]

I don't even. I'm a lover, not a fighter. Please don't say that.

[A]

I would do curling.

[B]

That is so. That is the most interesting sport that I just.

[A]

The Olympics make you watch crazy things, and it's like watching the best curlers ever. Did you see, like, the big controversy of, like, did they touch the curl with their finger? And it was like, all the stuff. And I'm like, wow, this is. This is interesting. You're talking about. How does one find out how to run uphill sub 6 miles? How is one just like, this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna curl.

[B]

I don't know. I don't know.

[A]

Do you know what other sport has become really popular at the Olympic Village?

[B]

What?

[A]

I'll just say this line. The Olympic Village ran out of condoms in three days due to higher than anticipated demand.

[B]

That's bananas.

[A]

Safety first. I love it. Safety first. I'm about it. I mean, it's probably cold. It is cold. It's the Winter Olympics, Milan. You need somebody to keep you warm. So, yeah, safety first.

[B]

You know what also needed, like, a safety warning?

[A]

Your transitions. You know, I know exactly where. I know where you're going with this.

[B]

How about South Carolina versus Tennessee? That right there, that needed a warning label. I'll just let you know that. What did you think? What were your thoughts?

[A]

Post up South Carolina. I'm just going to state the facts. South Carolina handed Tennessee their largest loss in program history back on February 8th.

[B]

Box up, baby.

[A]

Such a great transition. If you were to transition with. Speaking of cops, that would have been.

[B]

Really funny, but my mom would not have appreciated that transition. Speaking of. It's easier to. I need to apologize in advance for this one.

[A]

Speaking of Cox. Yeah. The Gamecocks beat the Volunteers 9350. We voluntarily got our ass kicked. But what came of that was Coach Kim Caldwell went viral for her post game comments. Let's take a listen. We just had a lot of quit in us tonight. And that's been something that's been consistent with our team is we're not comfortable and things don't go our way and I have a team that'll just quit on you. And you can't do that in big games. You can't do that anywhere, anytime in the sec, but you certainly can't do that at a program like this. And of course this was followed up by a 50 point win against Missouri. And then on Sunday, the lady balls fell two points short of upsetting number four, Texas. We had the, we had the ball down, one gave it back. They called a bogus foul.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

On Janiyah Barker. Let's just be honest. And then they came down, obviously executed on the play before to tie the game or to. No, to get within one. And then I didn't really understand the play call at the end. There wasn't any spacing. There was two players in the corner.

[B]

And they were in the corner. Yeah.

[A]

Or both in the corner. So it allowed help side. But anywho, Texas came out on top. 65. 63. I her comments I didn't disagree with.

[B]

Yeah, I mean I think coaches are allowed to say what they feel about their team. I know everyone on social media is kind of giving a crap for it, but the same thing with Vic Schaer too, because after they lost to Vandy, he said the same thing. He was like, this is the softest team I've ever coached.

[A]

Man, life comes at you fast because earlier in the year I was at the players ERA tournament. This was his favorite, most tough team.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

You know the thing I don't like and I'll just be honest, okay. The coach is there with them every single day. I think the coach can call you out and I think there's a strategy. Right. You have to know your team. Is this going to impact them positively? Am I going to get the outcome out of this? She thinks she can challenge them. She has all year. So therefore that's her strategy. It's other people coming in, making comments and posting stuff that to me is just about getting attention. Like I cannot stand when past players post. Like, look at this. This is disgraceful to the program. But then you're gonna go try to talk to them in two or three months.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And be there celebrating in the winter circle. Like, don't do that. Like we're all part of this program. There are things I agree with and don't agree with, but I'm going to in front have my programs back. And to be honest with you, like that's the thing that drives me absolutely up the wall is like you're already bridging a gap between you and the past players. As a former player, if you're just posting that type of stuff, do I wish that, you know, we played harder in those pivotal moments? Do I wish that we executed better? 100%. But I'm going to have their back time and time again because I remember being that, that student athlete right where the old heads come back and they don't have anything positive to say, but then they want to be in the circle when we win the national championship. Oh, drive me nuts. I. I had to. I had to put my phone down after that because people chiming in, not really knowing the story. Sorry, I. I went out on a. I went on a little rant.

[B]

No, it's okay.

[A]

I crashed out. Don Staley got her 500th win after hitting LSU. The LSU game was a good game. That was a really 79, 72. But it was a two point game.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Actually a three point game. Down the stretch, Claude missed two free throws to give them, you know, the victory or to give them the lead. Don Staley and South Carolina coaching staff are all wearing hoodies that say boo. What? I don't get it.

[B]

So funny. Okay, so the year before, when was it? The year before? Yeah. South Carolina played at lsu and they asked coach. They were like, oh, you know, the fans, like, how was the environment? Like, were they like, basically, like, mean, essentially. And coach is like, no, they're actually pretty nice. They called me boo, even though they were booing her the whole time. So then they came back and she wore a hoodie that said. That said boo on it. She's crazy.

[A]

That's amazing. The person that thought of that, if it's dawn, kudos to Dawn. But the person that, you know, if it wasn't Don that thought of that needs a raise for sure. But there were a lot of upsets over this past weekend. Unranked Georgia upset number five, Vandy. 76, 74. At Georgia, Vanderbilt beat Texas, which Vic Schaefer had his rant. Number 20, Maryland, upset number nine, Ohio State.

[B]

Almost 20.

[A]

I just feel like Ohio State gets upset every single. Like, even when I was playing, it was just like they lost to Maris in the NCLA tournament. So I just, I mean, I'm sorry not to rag on Ohio State and your, your teammate, Kelsey Mitchell, but I just feel like Ohio State and upset is always like, it's synonymous. Number 18, Kentucky, beat number 14, Ole Miss, and unranked Oklahoma took down number 16, Texas Tech.

[B]

It's crazy. Let me tell you. I'm not Just talking about the SEC alone. But it is going to be wild. Like, anyone can get beaten on any given night. Like, that is the crazy part. And then that's the part about March. Like, sometimes you just have to catch a team on their worst day. I mean, they could have been playing so well the entire season. They have an off day and you catch them. It's like you don't even get another chance. You don't even get another chance to be like, no, we will beat them 9 out of 10. It's like that one time who we.

[A]

It's crazy, insane. And then, you know, the NBA All Star was this weekend. We talked a little bit about it. I love the new format. Yeah, I think it. I think Wimby set the tone. We've already kind of discussed that. Basically a new format. Three All Star teams, two teams of USA players and one team of international players known as the World Team. I don't think they should go back to east and West. I think that it's a shorter amount of time you're playing as opposed to a full 48 minute game.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Where the score is 90 to whatever in the second quarter. The game was competitive. So basically the three teams had compressed games, 12 minute each and like a round robin kind of tournament. And Edwards was insane. He. All the games kind of came down the wire except for the championship game. And Edwards won the Kobe Bryant trophy as the All Star, you know, game mvp. It was kind of viral afterwards that Tyrese Maxey got on stage and said basically, like, you know, this USA team was young and turned and yeah, the.

[B]

Girls always start something. I swear, the women start everything. Yeah.

[A]

And then they just take it and run with it. But, you know, every year we hear like, how do you fix the NBA All Star game? It's weird because I do think that it was better, but it still is just like, I don't know what it's missing. Three point contest on Saturday night needs to go after the dunk contest. Can we agree? Okay. Should there be a 1v1 tournament instead of the dunk contest? Or with the dunk contest, like, how do we fix the dunk contest? Do you have other people that aren't in the NBA do the dunk contest?

[B]

I don't know, but I was looking at the dunk contest and I was. That's kind of the face I made.

[A]

I was just cracking up at Kishad.

[B]

That was the funniest thing of my life. It wasn't funny because of how he landed.

[A]

No. Well, you're Talking about Jace Richardson. Sorry, Jace Richardson. Yeah, it, it, it's also a little embarrassing, you know, like that's so embarrassing. But listen, nobody wants to do the dunk contest and these guys did it, so I mean you can't talk about them too much. Keyshot Johnson won the dunk contest with this dunk, which is great. And we also have to understand we've kind of seen everything.

[B]

I know, I don't know, like throw it over the backboard, jump over the backboard, like go through the hoop. I don't know.

[A]

But because we're acting like this, none of the star ever going to do the dunk contest. LeBron James was the first superstar to, to opt to not do the dunk.

[B]

Listen, I can't talk because I, I mean I don't dunk, so I'll mind my business, but I don't know, go through.

[A]

I just think everyone is spoiled because we've seen every single dunk that can possibly be done. I mean Mac McClung, I was going to say.

[B]

I feel like he will all he.

[A]

You know, this was his weekend and it sucks that he's not on an NBA team so he can't compete. But I don't know, I just think that the dunk contest, the three point contest is going to be really cool next year because Steph already confirmed that he's going to do it. Dame won his third, so I'm pretty sure Dame's probably going to be in it. Cause they're going to battle for four. Clay Thompson's going to be in it hopefully. If he agrees. I think that's kind of the main event. Did you see Steph hit that shot from.

[B]

That was crazy.

[A]

From the. Yeah, media.

[B]

Yeah, the little section.

[A]

Yeah, like where the media section was. Steph Curry knocked it down from downtown. I mean just having like even mellows like we just threw you the ball. We just threw you the ball to just throw it up there. And everybody goes crazy. Hey, did you see the, you saw the forever president sitting courtside? Michelle and Barack look so unbothered.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And before we, you know, before we, we chill for a little bit. Did you see Reggie Miller interview Barack Obama? And he said, hey, hey, Mr. President, what do you. What was your favorite memory from the 90s? You know, watching the Bulls play. And he said, watching the Bulls beat Indiana, I just love how sharp and funny. Yeah. Quick witted he is, but yeah, solid NBA all star. Was glad it was out west. So two thumbs up on onward to Phoenix next year.

[B]

Let's do It. Candace, girl, that birthday coming up. Big four zero. Big four zero. So are you throwing a banger or what? And am I invited? Because I feel like I haven'. Invitation.

[A]

You didn't have to say how old I was turning, but I've been planning in my head for months. It's a big birthday entering whatever decade. April is going to be here before you know it. And I'm excited about everything leading up to it, period.

[B]

Okay, so do we have a theme? Like a color scheme? Like, do you need decorations? Because I'm low key interior designer. Don't fact check that. Like, what's the vibes like? I need to start playing my outfits so. Cause once again, am I invited?

[A]

I mean, of course you're invited. Don't even ask. But your outfit. You're gonna start planning your outfit before the birthday girl.

[B]

Whose fault is that? Girl, you had time. I mean, you was all in Berlin. You didn't go shopping.

[A]

Don't worry. Listen, you're in. But honestly, I don't even know what I want to wear yet. So that's kind of the fun part, honestly, because Macy's makes it easy to explore all the options, try new things, and to get excited about it.

[B]

Okay, so what's the vibe like, full statement or are we like, keeping it chill?

[A]

You know, I like having several days for my birthday, so there's going to be some chill and some. Honestly, a vibe. And that's what I love. Macy's helps me get ready before the celebration even starts.

[B]

And you can shop in store or online@macy's.com. all right, so we know the CBA is still up in the air and we hope that everything gets sorted out soon because, please, I want to hoop. But we already know that TikTok is kind of creating backup plans. I don't know if you've seen it, but there's like a trend where they'll be like, oh, what would they do if they weren't a Hooper? So let's imagine our favorite players in the corporate world. It's time to clock in. That's a new slap.

[A]

Oh, I like that.

[B]

Get it. Time the clock in you get.

[A]

Okay, I got that. That was good. That was funny. Thank you. Liked it. Okay, Stewie, what would Brianna Stewart's job be?

[B]

I feel like.

[A]

A regular job.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Huh.

[B]

Su is a hard one to start with. I feel like Stewie's okay because are.

[A]

We going like.

[B]

Okay, this might be hard. I definitely should have thought about some of these. Hold on. What would Stewie be. I feel like, honestly, Stewie could be a barista.

[A]

Why was I gonna say Starbucks?

[B]

Wait, seriously?

[A]

Yep. I was gonna say that.

[B]

I feel like she could be a barista.

[A]

I think Starbucks, barista. And, like, she's super nice and spells.

[B]

Your name right, like, correctly, and adds a smiley face.

[A]

A smiley face. And sometimes, like, gives you an extra drink, you know, on the house. Yeah, a little cake pop. All right, who's next? I feel like, especially with the pink hair, it's like, nail salon vibes. Like, she owns a nail salon.

[B]

Oh, okay. Period.

[A]

She owns a nail salon.

[B]

And I feel like the nail salon would be one of those where, like, you could get drinks and, like, you can get you a shampoo.

[A]

You can get you, like, extra long foot rub. Yes.

[B]

And they're not going to charge you extra.

[A]

It's like pink fluffy furniture in there.

[B]

Wait, I like it. That was a good one.

[A]

Yeah, I think. Nail salon. Yep, she owns it. Oh, gosh.

[B]

Jenny Coulson. I feel like comedians. The only answer I have.

[A]

See, I got lunch lady. Oh, I think she's the lunch lady that's, like.

[B]

The comedic lunch lady. We can put them together.

[A]

Comedic lunch lady that, like, almost had a chance on Star Search, but her flight got delayed, so that's the story I'm telling myself. She's a comedic lunch lady.

You know, I don't want to work a 9 to 5, so.

[A]

Well, you have to, because if the CBA doesn't.

[B]

Okay, hear me out, though. This is actually what I wanted to do before broadcasting. I wanted to be a lawyer so bad. Or I wanted to be, like, a therapist because. Look at my smile. Don't. You look like you would confide in me with all your problems. Let's try again. Hold on. Look at my smile. Don't you think you would confide with me with all your problems? Okay, well, if not, you said a therapist. Yes. I love listening to people's problems, cuz. Tell me more. Tell me, why are you helping that.

[A]

Person is the question. I know you can like listening. Like, there's people that like, gossip that I'm literally.

[B]

I give so such good advice. Like. Like what? I can't believe you would say that. We can start sessions tomorrow if you need.

[A]

Oh, my goodness. Okay. I'm giving you. Yeah, I don't know about therapy. I'll give you lawyer.

I literally would slay. I'll give you. Because I'd love to argue. Tell me why. Like, case number. But I'll give you, like, section.

[A]

But I'll give you prosecutor. You're not a defense attorney. You're a prosecutor.

[B]

Oh, I'm not. I'm. I'm not defending.

[A]

Okay, You're a prosecutor for sure. Thank You.

[B]

That's so nice.

[A]

I like that. I mean, Candace, I feel. I feel crazy because I have, like, 15 jobs.

[B]

So what do you think?

[A]

What do I think I would be?

[B]

What I.

[A]

What I want to be is a historian. Like, I. I want to just.

[B]

Yeah, well, we're not doing that, so.

[A]

I think I want to be a historian. That's what I want to be. That's what I pick.

[B]

Do you think that you would drive a party bus?

[A]

Stop driving a party bus?

[B]

Like, like, do you think. You think I like to party?

[A]

You think I like to party, though?

[B]

But honestly, I think I drive a party bus. So if you want to be a lawyer, I can drive the party bus because, like, what I don't know about.

[A]

I don't know about a party bus, but I think I look in this picture. I think I look like I work at a movie theater.

[B]

You actually fill up the. The popcorn container to the max. That's why. Heavy.

[A]

And I fill it up. No, no, but I fill it up like, a third of the way, and then I let you put butter in it, and you bring it back.

[B]

Oh, and then you fill it.

[A]

And then I fill it. And I do. And I got the little wink in the nod.

[B]

Candice Parker found at your local theater. Heck, yeah.

[A]

That was fun.

[B]

All right, before we wrap things up, let's get into our fan questions. Okay, first question is from @bellarose. Coming from a player who just stopped playing high school basketball, how do you transition into playing for fun? I honestly feel like I'm going through a breakup and I need some advice.

[A]

Transition to playing for fun. So you're gonna have to help me out with this because I have not played basketball since I stopped playing basketball. I'll go outside and, like, shoot and things like that, but the way my body's set up, I. I just think that the risk outweighs the reward. So I. I just. I like shooting around. But.

[B]

But even if you find, like, a league, like, yes, it's for fun, but you can still be competitive as ever. Like, honestly, I don't see why you can't be. I. I personally, every time I step on the court, regardless of if we're just joking around, I mean business. That's probably why she.

[A]

And I'm with you on that. But you also don't want to be the psycho that comes to, like, 24 Hour Fitness and is.

[B]

Yes, you do.

[A]

The most competitive person and argues and crashes out and treats it like it's game five of the finals.

[B]

Whatever.

[A]

I can't wait To I can't wait to see you when you retire because you're gonna have so much pent up emotion just that you just can't release. All right, this question is from AT Cause I'm Myth. Is AB working with Tim Duncan? Don Staley said that to Kyle Lowry when he was miked up next to her at a Philly unrivaled game. Can Aaliyah talk about how that came to be? And I assume it's an island connection.

[B]

Yeah. So I have worked out with Tim in the past. We aren't currently working out.

[A]

We own first name. Yeah, I have worked out with Tim.

[B]

I'm sorry, I. I currently have. I have worked out with Tim Duncan before in the past. I mostly did it in college. We haven't worked out much since the W. But he's honestly so dope. Like I always can reach out to him and text him and he always responds and stuff. So stuff like that is always great. Yeah, I mean, it is an island connection. My parents, someone they know, knows Tim like best friends and then we set it all up. But honestly, I think we're cousins now. He might not be like, girl, what you telling people we're cousin for? But I think there's like somebody's cousin in the family tree of the islands. You know, all islanders are connected. But it was pretty dope working out with him. Like, it was honestly, some of the.

[A]

Best times I call him big fundamental. Obviously I'm not on a Tim name basis. That's like me being like, yeah, Michael.

[B]

You literally could say that. Michael.

[A]

Michael. You know, he. He showed me the fade away. Like you just straight up was like, yeah, Tim and I, you know, we. We just talk back and forth. Yeah.

[B]

All right, next question is from Saba Surf 322. Candice. I realize all your kids names end with double letters and I love it. Is there a special meaning or story behind that?

[A]

She is refer to Layla, Hart and Air. They do all have double meaning. Layla was just to be different. And then after Layla, I was kind of like, all my kids are gonna have double, you know, endings to their name because I want them all to be connected in some way. I grew up with a family that actually had all S's and they were all girls and there were five girls and it was like Sarah, Stephanie, Sabrina, Shannon, and whatever. And I just didn't want to go like all the first letter, so I just kind of put a little twist on it. And so it's really difficult during the naming process because there's some names that we liked, but there was no way that we could double letter.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, it would just be weird. And even heart. Sometimes, like, people are like, is it spelled like H E, A, R, T? And I'm like, nope, it's H A, R, T. And they're like, t. Oh, wow. Okay. Same thing with air, but it's not error.

[B]

Whatever. As you can.

[A]

As you can tell, my kids are from California. This week's episode was really fun. I'm not gonna lie. I missed you. And it was really for all of you that miss us. Follow post Move show on all socials at postmoose Show. That's two S's. And.

[B]

I just woke my dog up for that.

[A]

It.
