Bling bling every time I come around your city bling bling every time I

[B]

come around my city bling bling pinky

[A]

rain word about 50 bling bling pinky

[B]

ring word about bling bling every time

[A]

I buy a new ride bling bling bling bling Lorenzo's on yoga Hamatas. Welcome back to the alley. Oof. I am the kid Juju Gotti, joined by my sister, as always, Trista Crick. How are you doing, my sister?

[B]

I'm in Fort Worth, Juju. Watching a little basketball. Watching a little Yukon dominance. Wish I was in the dmv, though, because holy f. Was that regional, maybe generational. Duke, St. John's and then Duke. Yukon, Yukon, Michigan State. All the games came down to the last shot. All of them were chaotic. All Holy Moly, bruh.

[A]

Duke took out your girls, man. Lsu Fly J. Salute, man. Malaysia. Come on, man. We love you, though, because we. We all know she's a winner off the court, so that it don't even matter. Neither here nor there, man. It's a lot of March Madness to get to Holy Moly. First off, the most important piece of March Madness thus far. Yo, boy. Tank took care of Tyrese in the Versus Battle, bro. Molly Watt, my boy. Did you see that?

[B]

I. You know what? I didn't, Juju. But the good news is I already knew that that would happen. Here's how I knew that. Here's how I knew that. I already did. I already did. I know we don't have a lot of time to go into this, but I already did a Versus challenge with Tyrese. I.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I became Tank, and my friend became Tyrese, and we went. I swear to God. And we went. I'm going to my playlists.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Where is it?

[A]

Yeah, I went song for sound.

[B]

Oh, you know what? Never mind. It was Tyrese and Joe. Scratch everything I said.

[A]

I didn't know 15 yards is. You got to take that back right now because, like, I'm so sorry. First and 25. What the hell was that?

[B]

How you gonna act like that? We just finished waking up. How you gonna change it up?

[A]

Not. Look, I ain't gonna go. I ain't gonna go trumping my sister, bro. Look, we ain't doing none of that, but my bad. Tank took care of business, though. Tyrese was playing games. Basically. Tyrese was out there trying to have roast battles, and he was losing them. Tank were cool as hell. Tank just kept it moving. And the epic moment from the battle, I think that brother turtleneck bro like the turtleneck little. Little freestyle ended. My boy. Neither back and watch it. Yeah. Neither here nor there, though. March Madness. Speaking of ending, folks, Duke went down epically to Dan Hurley and them boys. Did you see it? Of course.

[B]

So here's what was going on. They were down 20, Yukon was down 20. I just first and foremost love Yukon. Like, I love Dan Hurley. I've made so much money betting on UConn, and I feel like I discovered Dan Hurley when he went to the Phil Knight invitational. He was already on the hot seat. It was Thanksgiving. My mom ended up with COVID so I couldn't even see her. So I just went to every single game and I sat. Yep. Shout out to her. She's fine. Sat behind Dan Hurley, sat with the, like, AD of the school and watched him. Watched him do all the things that we now know is commonplace against Nate Oates in Alabama. And I was like, I love this guy. He's like, hey, Jay. Hey, Jay. Come over here to the ref. And it's like a non conference tournament. So I've been rocking with Dan Hurley. So I saw they go down 20, and I'm like, man, maybe it wasn't there a year after all. Because I've been still, you know, juju. I've been still saying, right on. On Dan Levitar. I'm rocking with Yukon. I'm rocking with Yukon. I still think this could be a wake up call. I still think. And then they go down 20. I'm like, man, maybe I was. Maybe I was wrong. And then I hear this southern woman at the restaurant. She goes, y' all hear? Duke went down. And I was like, oh, oh, oh, hold on. I watched it back, and I watched the last, like, two minutes of the game, and I'm like, the whole time, how does Duke lose? How do. How does Yuko win this game?

[A]

Right? You watching it back like, okay, when does the shoe drop? When does the villain walk in with the knife? And he walked in with three seconds to go, bro. Like, down two points. Game on. Like, they was down three points, bro. Went to the free throw line. Missed the first one. So at that point, I'm like, no,

[B]

they were down two because they. They were down four. Yukon hits the three, they're down one, and then they end up missing the first free throw. Yukon does making the second.

[A]

She gonna tell me how the game went, bro. You didn't watch it. I love you. You're my sister. They was down, but they was. They was down 3, I think. But buddy went down to the free throw Line because they fouled him and he only had two free throws. So he missed the first one. And then I was like, damn. And he made the second free throw. Now they're two points. Exactly. And so now they're down to with Duke inbounding. So I'm thinking the game is over no matter what. No matter what in that turnover, bro. Not getting enough credit for the deflection first as well as being poised enough to knock down that shot. That's a freshman and caravans wherewithal to know that. Look, I'm wet from everywhere, but I'm not going to force this. Let me get it to the young fella. Passed it to the young fella and he knocked down the shot of a lifetime, bruh.

[B]

From the logo juju. And they were broke all game. From three, they were broke.

[A]

U.S. 1 for 18. They started.

[B]

It's crazy. It's crazy. You know the thing that I saw John Fanta talk about this. The goat. John Fanta, the goat. Salute on salute to him.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Why he talked about why is John Shire telling the team to advance the ball.

[A]

There we go. There we go. There we go. Get to it. That's the real. That's the real deal, bro.

[B]

Kaden Boozer, yes, he ended up passing into coverage, turning the ball over. But why are you not just standing there putting the ball, hit your arms around the ball and letting them foul you just let the clock expire,

[A]

you dig? And like you say, bruh, throw the ball up in the air, bro. And that's gonna live with that young brother forever. I'm so sorry. Gotta live with that, bro. But at the same time, like you say, coach sitting here talking about go advance it. Throw the ball, bro. Why you're up two with three seconds to go. There's no reason to do this. And on top of that, that was no 20 point pass. He. He made a mistake on like. That was no 20 point deflection three pointer he made. Y' all boys blew that lead, man. So as mad as people in the world and young Kaden is, bruh, he ain't blow the whole 20 point lead, man. Get my boy some slack.

[B]

That was a melt. That was a melt in the sun. You're talking about a freshman. You're talking about two freshmen. Katie's got blood all over his jersey. Cam. Boozer's eye looks like the mask. And it's just. I'm glad you got that looking like. Looking like he's starring with cher in the 1980s.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

Dylan, please find this B roll and Put it over. Because I know. Put. Put Kaden right next to homeboy that played in the mask. Rocky, I think his name was. Anyway, like, they're not the reason. I think John Shire deserves a lot of smoke. There were. There were people. It's so bad. People are comparing him to Hubert Davis. And I said, you cannot compare him to Hubert Davis because Hubert Davis's teams don't show up ready to play pretty much ever. Like, Duke is known for melting in the sun and letting.

[A]

He's up on Hubert, bro. Got fired last week. Ease up. He watched the show, bro. You can't do that to Hubert. What's up? We love you.

[B]

All right. We love you, Hubert. But you know how it is. Like, you guys were the number one team in the country and you made it to the NIT that year, so what the hell?

[A]

But Smurfisher shirt is now available on levitaraf.com by the way. Neither here nor there, but what a

[B]

fantastic men's tournament we've had, right?

[A]

Fantastic. And, bro, like you said, seeing Dan win the game, he was full of so much emotion, bro. Before and after the game, I went ahead, but the referee, bro, Ms. Rebecca, can you please pull up the video titled Hurley crazy ass? Because I have never seen a coach do this to them.

[B]

Never in my life,

[A]

bruh. I don't know if you get fined for this. Suspended at. Bruh. Bro, what the hell is you on, Coach?

[B]

Also, the blazer one a little bit down the shoulder is so.

[A]

It's so perfect. That blazer is hanging off his shoulder, bro.

[B]

Like, just walking up to him, kind of. Kind of doing this. Dude, he's. He was.

[A]

Yeah, look at him. Yeah, yeah, make that call. Yeah.

[B]

Little pimp walk. Walk, little pimp.

[A]

See you in the final four, pimp walk.

[B]

Come on.

[A]

Forehead to forehead with the real, bro. Salute to Dan Hurley, man.

[B]

Can you imagine, though, if he would have gotten a technical for that and they would have made we. They would have had free throws with three seconds. Dan, please relax.

[A]

Oh, my God. No, I think that. I think the game was over, but so I think this would have went to the next game. Can you imagine that? Them boys suspended my boy for the f. F.

[B]

They're going to game again. They're going to the championship. They're going to be Illinois. They're one and a half point underdogs. They're going to be Illinois. They're built for this. They're built for this.

[A]

Yeah. Salute to Stor Yakovic. But it's over with. Moving on, man. To the league, dog, man, we had a lot of craziness go on over the weekend. We had my sister, Caitlyn Clark, over the weekend announcing games you did, which is fire salute to Caitlyn, bro. Salute my sister. Let me turn the camera a little bit so we can get that two, two off in. In the film, bro. Caitlyn been doing. She been snapping photos for the league. She been hosting gigs. You see my sister fresh as hell on the. On the panel, man. Listen to what my sister had to say about Nicola Jokic.

[B]

Miss a beat. I think everybody knew he was going to do everything he could to get back. And I mean, there's not many people that average a triple double, let alone you're lucky enough to get maybe a couple of those in a season. He's done it all year long and back to back years, so it's pretty incredible. And honestly, he's probably my favorite player to watch and I think he's the best player in the world.

[A]

What you think Trista is the Joker? The best player in the world?

[B]

Let me start by saying. Oh, because I feel we need.

[A]

Put on your seat belts, ladies and gentlemen. Hold on, Scrap, man. Hold on. All right, I'm ready.

[B]

When we have a major Ms. Smirch against a legend, we need to preface it by saying, number one, Caitlyn, I love you. You're tremendous. Pretty much everything you do, you're a star on. Okay, so just leave that there. You know good and well Nicole Jokic is not your favorite player in the world. We just did an NBC shoot with you and Jamal, and you told Jamal Crawford that Luca is your favorite player to. Come on now. Come on now. You cannot switch it up now. And that Steph is number two. Nikola Jokic was nowhere in that list. So you joined the broadcast and you're acting brand new, okay? You can have multiple players. She's one of those people who has multiple best friends. Oh, this is my BFF. This is my BFF. That's my BFF. How many goddamn BFFs do you have, Caitlyn? You can't have multiple favorite players to watch. That's the word. Favorite means the top. No one else is in there. Also, Nicola Jokic is the best player in the world, though. You are right about that. You are right about that.

[A]

You can't do that, bro. You can't do that. Look, how about this? We'll be back right after these messages. And we back, man. Bruh. I had to take a break, bruh. I couldn't stop laughing. I needed A break to laugh at my sister because she's the biggest joker in the world minus the best basketball player in the world. You did. Come on, man. Moving on though. My boy Joker had a response because he heard what Caitlyn had to say too. And you know my boy gotta respond on the mic, man. What he had to say, Ms. Rebecca,

[B]

that Faye looks good.

[A]

We had the same agent. That's why she said it. This is a big joke. He don't take nothing serious. We got the same agent.

[B]

That's why she said that agent's getting bread.

[A]

I don't think they got the same agent. I think my boy lying, you know, like a liar. But moving on, man. Whether you think he is the best or not, I think he is definitely top three. I think SGA done actually locked that MVP in too, unfortunately.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Because you can't deny that greatness, bro. He been getting it done all year. What you got for us?

[B]

Yeah, I think the. I'm looking for it right now.

[A]

Okay, okay, okay.

[B]

Agency. They have the same agency, not the same agent. Accurate.

[A]

Important on that guy. No, see the, the Raptors, I don't know if you've seen it. The Orlando Magic played the Raptors the other day. And my boys, I feel like Orlando Magic, bro. I be wanting to believe in them so bad. But then they go out and lose by five straight. They. They look goofy in losing the five straight.

[B]

Why do you believe in them?

[A]

I don't know, bruh. I think it's the pinstripes for some reason. I think it's. That's the pinstripe because it's reminiscent. It remind me of the good old days. But during the game against the Raptors, the Raptors went on a 31 to 0 run during the game, bruh.

[B]

This looking like Yukon versus Syracuse.

[A]

What is going on in Orlando? Is this. Is this who they are or do they need to just get it together and lock in?

[B]

Oh, I think it might be a little bit Jamal Mosley. I think it might be a little. Paolo Apollo's just. I don't know, it's a clunky ass offense. I'm just gonna say that the offense hasn't looked good the entire time. There's moments where you feel like they can score and then they go five, six, seven minutes and you're like, this is hard to put my eyes on. Like I want to close my eyes while this is going on. Like they've turned Desmond Bain into a very up and down player. They turned Kent. They basically ruined Kentavius Caldwell Pope's career can take his call. Coming off of Denver, Coming off of Denver, KCP was like that guy, he was like the 3 and D guy. 40 something percent from 3, strapping your best player on the perimeter. Everybody was like, damn, Denver lost him. This sucks so bad. He's so crucial. He gives to Orlando. His career is basically like nobody's talking about KCP anymore. It sucks.

[A]

My boy in Memphis with the, the college 12 phones right now. Let's trade it Memphis. So yeah, you're right.

[B]

And it. No, we haven't heard hide nor hair of his production since. And like better watch out. You're in Orlando and you're a shooter. Like that's what's going to happen to you as well. Somebody needs to put Anthony Black in charge of this team.

[A]

You like Anthony Black, bro. You be bringing his ass up. It be random time. We would just be chilling watching the fight. What? Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua? I don't know Anthony Black up too right now. But yeah, I think the Magic can get it together, bro. I think this is just a blip in the system.

[B]

Hopefully their first round exit. Yeah, unfortunately their first round exit, I don't know. There's gonna be major changes. You gave up, you gave up four first round picks and then your first round exit. You cannot do that.

[A]

Nah. Moving on, bro. Staying in the East. The Knicks put down another close one against the Thunder yesterday. But at the same time, to me, seeing Cat go out there and look so pedestrian, bruh, 15 points, 12 points. Last game he had three rebounds, bro. I don't know, bro. I'm trying to believe in the Knicks, but they making it hard for me to do so, bro. What you think about them boys?

[B]

I think you're right. I think it's, it's a lot harder to say that something that's happening in the regular season is not gonna continue to persist in the postseason. It's hard. It's like even harder to imagine a world where you just get significantly better in the postseason than you are in the regular season. It's the opposite, right? Like this is an amazing regular season team and in the postseason they're going to drop down a little bit because it's a seven game series. Everyone is game planning for you. They're scheming and it's a whole other ballgame. It's almost a totally different sport, right. It's very rare that a team is better in the postseason in that other sport. And like if there was a team that I would bet on to not get better in the postseason than they are in the regular season. It would be any Mike Brown led team.

[A]

I want y' all to take a second and drink in the intricacies. How she wove that story around the drum head and then just put it all together like, Bruh. And that's why I don't trust them, boy. Look, I said. I said almost the same thing, but she said it in a way that's elegant. It's gonna make. Let you know. Exactly. Show her. She showed her work, basically. And that's why I love you, sis. That's.

[B]

That's what I do, literally.

[A]

Because I ever believe in Mike Brown?

[B]

Yeah, it's a thesis. It's my thesis paper on why I never will believe in Mike Brown. I also think, like, Carl Anthony Towns and Mike Brown are not a good fit. And it's only a matter of time before it's either me or him kind of a thing. And I don't know who me is, and I don't know who him is, and I don't know who the team is going to choose, but I'm gonna tell you this right now. Like, there's tension there because he's not putting Cat in the right spots to succeed. Because we keep bringing up how pedestrian Cat is. It's like Cat's getting cooked more on defense than he ever has. And it's like Cat's always been bad at defense, but, like, you have to protect him. And Mike Brown's like, nah, nah, I'm gonna leave you out there on that island.

[A]

Right? You all star. And look, the way that that boy been playing, bro, he is not to him. I know that The. The Cat, he is not to him and Mike Brown, but I can't call him to him either. Bro, this is Bruh on bro. I don't know if it's Bruh or Bruh, but moving on, man, let's get to a little segment that we like to call Boy Stop. Boy Stop. All season long, Bruh, I've been saying how the refs can kiss my ass. Excuse me, Pardon me. They can kiss my black ass. Oh, I thought it was gonna get

[B]

more gentle, but it did not.

[A]

It got less gentle, right, Bruh? At the end of the Pacers game the other night, did you see J. Huff in the. In the huddle? The coach was coaching him up on how to flop at the end of this. Get this foul. My boy got this foul call with 0.1 seconds left on the clock. Roll it, Ms. Rebecca.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Boy, I know you lying. 83 got to the free throw line. Miss both of the damn free throws.

[B]

That's how it's done.

[A]

Finish, bro.

[B]

That's how it's done.

[A]

You think? Is this tanking? She said that's how.

[B]

That's how it's done.

[A]

Is this a good case of tanking, bro? Cause I don't know, bro.

[B]

Listen, Rick Carlisle's got the league on his ass, okay?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So you gotta find unique ways to make it look like you're trying to compete and you lost the game, cuz. I. As this was going on, I was like, what the hell is Jay Huff trying to go to the free throw line for? They know good and well they're trying to be the worst team in the league. This is how it's done. This is masterful. This is truly Picasso levels of creative thinking in terms of how to tank. Because what is the league gonna say? What's the league gonna say? You intentionally got fouled and flopped so that you could try to win the game against the Clippers? I'm sorry. Sometimes you just miss free throws. He's a big man and it doesn't even look so. I mean, come on back.

[A]

Rim clankers, bruh.

[B]

Wow, I'm so impressed, bruh.

[A]

I'm talking about. Yes, you right. That's a great tanking job. But at the same time, the referees, man, making that call in the clutch like that, man, unfortunately, it looked like sis who sent Shangoon got into it with and we always got her back. But since you can't make that call, bro, let the. No, let it. Let it ride out, sis.

[B]

Let it ride.

[A]

No.

[B]

For sure, the refs are out of pocket for that call. Absolutely.

[A]

Boy, stop.

[B]

Rick. Rick Carlisle, boy, go ahead.

[A]

You go, boy. You go.

[B]

Go, boy. We see you, Rick. We see you. We see what it is. That's chestnut checkers.

[A]

You know what else I saw over the weekend, bruh? That's why I wore this jersey. This is triple entendre. Right now. The women's Michigan team final four. You got to know, man. No, come on, man. Yaks.

[B]

Wait. You think that Michigan women's is gonna beat Texas today?

[A]

Come on, man. Y' all already know what's going on. We got money on everything, but at the same time, you right, bro. Texas is looking good. Look. Look like she. She going crazy. But at the same time, Michigan boys and my boy, this jersey itself, Jalen Rose, bruh. Did you see my boy Jalen Rose on to be with his acting debut, bruh?

[B]

I did not. I need to see this.

[A]

Rebecca. I don't care if this is 10 minutes. Play it all. They got my boy. Daughter done.

[B]

[A]

Not going to lie to be getting fun. Hey, sag after a don't got on them. Look at my boy, bro. Look at my boy hugging right? Crying. Nah, don't rewind it at all. Let it ride.

[B]

No. Oh, man.

[A]

Sir, Jalen Rose.

[B]

Sir,

[A]

sir, can you please rewind that last part again? Just the last part where he got the news, sir. I mean, you're sure this is not a comedy? It's not a comedy comedy, right?

[B]

This is like kindergarten cop.

[A]

Oh, no. It's amazing.

[B]

We lost them. We lost them. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Fam.

[A]

Jalen Rose, I command you, bruh. You got out there and you tried a bit, bruh, you already know, but, boy, stop.

[B]

It'll take time. Just keep trying, bro.

[A]

Boy, stop. To the producers, the script. Y' all did not have to keep that tape right there. Y' all could have told my boy, hey, bro, let's do that one over.

[B]

Just tone it down a little bit. Like, tone it down a little bit. It was also, like, a little bit. They didn't have another camera. You know, it was. This is like, oh, we can't. We don't have another camera that can just zoom in on Jalen's face.

[A]

Right, right.

[B]

So. So we have them have him make so much noise that they know the audience knows he's really going through it. But it's really, like, on us because we have one camera because it's 2B, one red camera.

[A]

But they like, look, we got one camera. We gonna zoom between y'. All. When he starts screaming, I need y' all to move also.

[B]

Like, you can't just take another take and show j other side. Just run the camera around and then patch them together.

[A]

I really think they probably looked at that and said, by George, we got us right? We got us one. Moving on. Bro, did you see my girl? Oh, my goodness. Ms. Grand Thailand. I guess this is a section of the the beauty competition where everyone gives the camera a little bit seductive dance and, like, be why they're quote un look, beauty contest going crazy. I don't know. I don't talk to anybody. I don't know what they got going on.

[B]

25 million views. This has got to be good, bro.

[A]

Look at my sister break out her version of a seduction dance. Roll it. Ms. Rebecca, I love. This is my favorite. You gotta see her again. Get it, girl. Get it.

[B]

Why'd she bite in her own lip, bruh. Fam, I'm loving this.

[A]

She's the coolest person I've ever seen in my entire life.

[B]

She sat up there at night and was like, listen, I got an idea. I know I'm not winning this thing. We're about to go crazy on the final set, bruh. I'm leaving here backup dancer in no time, bruh.

[A]

I love her so much, bruh. Like all you other ladies, I don't know who won, but she is the winner in my book, bruh. Sis said, I don't give a damn. Y' all gonna see that. Me and my little brother used to do.

[B]

Let me put this song up to it. Turn this song. Turn the music off. Ms. Rebecca, turn the music off. I'm about to play this and see if it sounds good with it.

[A]

You gotta hold one second. Hold up one second. Ms. Grand Thailand, we love you.

[B]

Hold on.

[A]

Edition. Yeah, I already know, man. Look, you know, bro, Ms. Grand Thailand, we are maybe your biggest supporters. You welcome on the alley oop anytime you want to pull up on us, bro.

[B]

I don't know what she's gonna do or what she's gonna say, but she's welcome, right?

[A]

But for the folks who was labeling her because the competition, then, they may smile on that. They frowned upon it as they be doing, labeling it as a masculine dance, boy. Stop. To y' all brothers, man. Last video before we get up out of here, man. My boy GP two man snatching. He snatched my boy headband, Bruh. Bro, what's wrong with the man, right? We just snatched that man headband for no reason, bro. Like, this might be just as funny as Jalen Rose acting debut, bruh. Cause it's like he only want to fight. You ain't trying to slap that, man. You just yanked his head, man.

[B]

Bro, it was almost like the basketball version of snatching somebody's chain, right, bruh?

[A]

Like, oh, my God. As a headband connoisseur myself, bruh, I promise to God, anybody out there, please do not walk up on me and snatch my head, man. I promise to God, I'm gonna think you're trying to kill. I'mma defend myself. So that's all you need to know, bro. But G pay Junior, bro. You, sir, are a joker, boy. Stop pulling that man head, man. Like that, right? You should have had smoke.

[B]

But, man, Zeke Naji didn't do anything about it either. Why did Zeke? Zeke Naji acted like nothing happened.

[A]

That's what I'm saying, bro. To me, that's the ultimate sucker. Like, he punked him out. Because you're not going to snatch my headband. And I don't even at least give you the O. You better be glad you my homeboy, Gary, because I'm gonna go. He gave him the. Oh, shoot. Here.

[B]

The only reason this would not be out of pocket is.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Is Zeke Naji was out of headbands. And before the game, he asked Gary could he borrow one. And Gary's like, yeah, I'll let you borrow one. And then they get in a scrum. Gary's like, give me my headband back. Like, there's some crazy. Give me my. This is my headband.

[A]

Right? That's exactly how they do you, too. In front of the hoes. They be like, bro, you the man. My shirt look good on you, bro. Yeah, well, yeah, man. Thank y' all so much for joining another episode of the alley Oop. As always, thanks to Ms. Rebecca Donahue and the distinguished Dylan. You got to know any last words, sis?
