Then Rory's Boston Common golf and Tigers Jupiter Lynx face off in their playoff debuts. Who will advance? Keep up its playoffs. Tune in Tuesday, March 17, at 6:30pm and 9pm only on ESPN and the ESPN app.
[00:27]
B
That's right, it's Thursday Thunder, and It's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The crown is yours.
[00:34]
C
Juju.
[00:34]
B
What do we got?
[00:36]
D
Yes, sir, man. Thursday Thunder. You already saw Bam had 83 points the other night. So naturally I'm going with Derrick white for over 15.5 points tonight against the Thunder. He gonna need him next leg. I'm going with my brother. I think my brother Tony know a little something about this brother. Tim Hardaway Jr. Come on. For over 10 points tonight against the Nuggets. No, against the Spurs. You dig it? He gonna need them 10 points. You got to know it.
[01:16]
E
They need 11.
[01:18]
D
You got to know, man. And last leg, he's gonna. The Stan Van Gunny said this man is the best shooter in the NBA. A better shooter than Steph Curry. So I trust Stan Van Gundy. Let's go with Luke Canard for over eight points tonight. He might not need him. Lock it in.
[01:44]
F
So, juju, I see you have a top five. I think I am very interested in this top five. Let's get to it.
[01:51]
D
Oh, yeah, man. Last night, man. I don't know if y' all seen Dejounte Murray. Yep, that was right at the end. Yelled and screamed over him. Look at that.
[02:01]
F
He looked like Muhammad Ali. Sonny Liston.
[02:05]
D
Right, bruh. So that made me think, what are the top five most disrespectful moments in NBA history that I can think of.
[02:14]
F
Nice.
[02:15]
D
Oh, well. Lie dame time ending the Thunders era. Another Oli deandre over Brandon Knight. That was dunked over Lob City.
[02:31]
F
Oh, yes, he killed him.
[02:33]
E
BK also got that crossover, too. He got crossed over in the All Star game. I think it was rising stars or whatever. It was bad luck.
[02:39]
F
Now, see, you know what? That's a good example right there, juju. Because Nick Wright comes on here and wants slam dunks to be three points. Was that a dunk? Like he didn't touch his fingers. Didn't touch the win.
[02:49]
C
Yeah.
[02:49]
F
You know, Is that a dunk? Is that three points?
[02:52]
D
Right? We're gonna need one of these on that one. Number five, Allen Iverson steps over Tyron Lou. Man.
[03:01]
F
Very good. Very good. Yep.
[03:03]
D
Disrespectful. Didn't win any more games. But that was a moment. Number four, James Harden, crosses Wesley Johnson, stares at him, and then drains the three ball.
[03:16]
E
Stares at him for a long two seconds, too. It was a long stare, right?
[03:20]
D
And one mixtape style. Number three, LeBron James killed Jason Terry. Bruh. That was the perfect scenario that you never want to end up in, especially with LeBron James coming down the court. Oh, my God.
[03:39]
F
Well, and also it was so great because Jason Terry, like, leading up to that game, was talking a lot about LeBron in the Heat.
[03:48]
D
Oh, yeah. Number two, Scottie Pippen dunks on and pushes down Patrick Ewing.
[03:54]
F
Nice. Nice. And. And he. He steps over his head.
[04:01]
D
And the number one most disrespectful moment that I could think of. Shaquille o' Neal dunks on Chris Dudley and pushes him out of bounds.
[04:12]
F
You gotta give Chris Dudley a little bit of credit there, though, Juju, because he got up the ground, he took the ball, and he chucked it across the court of check.
[04:20]
D
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That was. You got to give him a little sauce for that because he ain't just go down like no punk. You dig it?
[04:26]
F
Those. Those top two on that list, Pippin over Ewing and then steps over him so Ewing has to push him off of him. And. And, and Shaq on Chris when the Shaq one. It's so smooth, Juju, it's like in one motion, he dunks on him and gives him nuts and then pushes him down, like in one fell swoop, you know?
[04:50]
D
Yes, sir. Man. Stupid nuts he gave that man. Also, I want to say happy two year anniversary to my brother and yours, Ethan Badowski. Man, they trying to be your name sometimes and we got to keep the respect.
[05:05]
E
Two year anniversary of what?
[05:06]
C
Him joining our.
[05:08]
D
Our being with Metal Art Media.
[05:10]
F
Oh, wow.
[05:11]
D
Keeping a job.
[05:12]
F
All right.
[05:12]
D
You got to celebrate it.
[05:14]
C
Two year anniversary.
[05:15]
F
Congrats. Not getting fired.
[05:16]
D
Also, look, impromptu free game for the crowd. Adnan said, say whatever you like. If you use the phrase spree decor, don't. And Dan, please don't say that word around me, brother. Back to you guys.
[05:36]
F
Juju, you watching any shows recently? You got any. Any recommendations, brother?
[05:42]
D
Paradise, man.
[05:43]
F
Dude, Juju, what a show. So good.
[05:46]
D
Has it been enough days where I could talk about the latest episode
[05:51]
E
classic all week? I can't do it.
[05:52]
B
I'm gonna go.
[05:53]
F
And Mike Ryan scolded you. See, he's walking out of the room right now.
[05:56]
B
You can see the first season.
[05:57]
F
Mike Ryan scolded me earlier today for talking about paradise.
[06:01]
D
Well, look I'm. I'm not gonna do no spoilers. Just tune in, man. Because it's just as enticing as it was last season.
[06:10]
F
I love that Sterling K. Brown. He's great, right?
[06:13]
D
Right. Since. Since we're not going to talk about paradise, I would just like to touch back on the Bam conversation. Brothers and sisters, this is proof people will not even let you have something that they don't even care about. Bro. Folks don't care about this that much, but they are up in arms just because we care about it.
[06:32]
C
That's right.
[06:32]
D
Being mad. Being mad is a privilege, ladies and gentlemen out there. Let's give it to the stuff that's really going on on earth right now and not Bam. You seen Bam Mama there with the fin, hugging Asia, crying. That's what it's about. Who gives a damn?
[06:49]
C
Amen.
[06:50]
D
Right? And. And in other positive news, just some positivity. Pandas are no longer considered an extinct or endangered species. Giant panda bears are no longer endangered species on this earth. Man. That's.
[07:06]
C
That's.
[07:07]
D
Let's get some.
[07:09]
C
That's the best news juju that you've ever brought to the postgame show.
[07:12]
D
This is incredible.
[07:13]
F
I don't know if that's the dude.
[07:15]
C
Giant pand pandas are no longer on the verge of being extinct.
[07:19]
B
Spread a lot of joy.
[07:19]
E
The top five was better.
[07:20]
C
That's really joyful, guys. That's a big deal.
[07:23]
F
All right. Glad to hear we got like third.
[07:25]
B
Third best thing.
[07:26]
E
Jack gave him the nuts.
[07:28]
A
Yep.
[07:28]
C
All right, so third best thing today.
[07:30]
F
You know about odnuts?
[07:32]
B
I mean, juju told me about paradise.
[07:33]
C
All right.
[07:34]
B
That's better than anything said about pandas.
[07:36]
C
Prisoner of the moment, but really excited about those panda bears.
[07:39]
F
Let's do some polls, Juju.
[07:42]
D
Yes, sir. Do you circumvent anything other than rules? 61 of the audience says, no, they don't. Is stubby clap one of the greatest baseball names that you've ever heard in your life? 87 of the audience says, yes, it is. Somebody online, my brother Brad got a good sense of humor. So I'm.
[08:03]
F
Read it.
[08:03]
D
Somebody online said that that's also what they call Brad Williams when he has gonorrhea. Neither here nor there.
[08:11]
C
He sounds like a guy who baseball when they had those gloves that were like three fingers that were bigger than the size of your face.
[08:19]
D
Right. Also from earlier. No honor amongst thieves. But also, can you be thick as thieves? I don't know what the thieves are. Thieves. Got too many quotes. I don't think you should trust any of them. Are you offended that Adnan Verk is a turd reheater? 77% of the audience says, yes, they are offended.
[08:38]
F
Those guys made it perennial.
[08:42]
D
Are thieves really that thick? 51 of the audience says, no, they are not.
[08:47]
F
Wow.
[08:48]
D
Can a bald guy be ginger? No. Let me take that back. Can a bald guy be a ginger? I'm always scared of that word, man. You rearrange two letters and it is a problem.
[09:00]
C
Yeah, Dan can say it, though.
[09:03]
D
74. 74 of the audience says, yes, a bald guy can be a ginger.
[09:10]
F
Now I'm afraid of that word.
[09:12]
A
New fear unlocked the Mamba mentality.
[09:16]
D
Is Bill burr a ginger? 90 of the audience says, yes, he is. Will you get in a public whirlpool? 58 of the audience say no. And last poll. Does Modern Family have the best writing in sitcom history? Quite a statement, right? 73% of the audience says no, they don't. And those I oppose.
[09:38]
F
Good job, Juju.
[09:39]
D
Thank you, brother.

Brothers and sisters, this is proof people will not even let you have something that they don't even care about. Bro. Folks don't care about this that much, but they are up in arms just because we care about it.
[06:32]
C
That's right.
[06:32]
D
Being mad. Being mad is a privilege, ladies and gentlemen out there. Let's give it to the stuff that's really going on on earth right now and not Bam. You seen Bam Mama there with the fin, hugging Asia, crying. That's what it's about. Who gives a damn?
[06:49]
C
Amen.
[06:50]
D
Right? And. And in other positive news, just some positivity. Pandas are no longer considered an extinct or endangered species. Giant panda bears are no longer endangered species on this earth. Man. That's.

B
I mean, juju told me about paradise.

[07:36]
C
Prisoner of the moment, but really excited about those panda bears.
[07:39]
F
Let's do some polls, Juju.
[07:42]
D
Yes, sir. Do you circumvent anything other than rules? 61 of the audience says, no, they don't. Is stubby clap one of the greatest baseball names that you've ever heard in your life? 87 of the audience says, yes, it is. Somebody online, my brother Brad got a good sense of humor. So I'm.
[08:03]
F
Read it.
[08:03]
D
Somebody online said that that's also what they call Brad Williams when he has gonorrhea. Neither here nor there.
[08:11]
C
He sounds like a guy who baseball when they had those gloves that were like three fingers that were bigger than the size of your face.
[08:19]
D
Right. Also from earlier. No honor amongst thieves. But also, can you be thick as thieves? I don't know what the thieves are. Thieves. Got too many quotes. I don't think you should trust any of them. Are you offended that Adnan Verk is a turd reheater? 77% of the audience says, yes, they are offended.
[08:38]
F
Those guys made it perennial.
[08:42]
D
Are thieves really that thick? 51 of the audience says, no, they are not.
[08:47]
F
Wow.
