Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Blake Griffin Appreciation & Lob City Legacy

• Blake’s Athletic Prime: The crew watches and reacts to a 2013 Blake Griffin highlight reel, marveling at his power and athleticism on the Clippers.
• Detroit Version of Blake: T and DJ Wells argue that Griffin’s Detroit years, playing hurt and still delivering, showed a unique level of toughness, though most agree his Clippers highlights are unmatched.
• Rafters Debate: Should Griffin and Chris Paul’s numbers be retired by the Clippers? Consensus: Yes, since they elevated the franchise to new heights.
  Jeff (07:29): “You gotta highlight your best players. Him, Chris Paul... They gotta be in the rafters.”

2. NBA Throwback: Kobe Bryant vs. Dwyane Wade and Physical Era Defense

• Kobe vs. Wade Physicality: The crew analyzes a viral clip of a hard foul and laughs about 2000s basketball intensity: "That was crazy for him to knock him out the air like that..."
  T (09:51): "Punched me in my neck. What you thought I was about to do?"
• Old School Defense: Comparing the bad boys' Pistons’ bruising style to today's play. Most agree the league was more physical and “real,” but some are glad it's less violent now.
• Modern Intensity? Anthony Edwards and Draymond Green called some of the league's last hard-nosed competitors.
• Kobe’s Defensive Reputation:
  Jeff (10:07): “We never said Kobe didn’t play defense... He had the most All-Defensive teams.”

3. Super Chats: Shaq’s Locker Room Antics & Andrew Luck’s Retirement

• Shaq’s Pranks: The group erupts into laughter and disgust recounting legendary locker room pranks by Shaquille O'Neal, including hygiene horror stories.
  Mook (13:22): “You got the right to shoot him up... You do, bro. Feces on, bro...”
• Andrew Luck's Sudden Retirement: Reflection on the shock of Luck’s halftime retirement, discussing fan reactions and his impact.
  DJ Wells (15:16): “Andrew Luck was cold, bro... It’s a lot of teams wish they could have Andrew Luck.”
• Playoff Resume Debate: The group debates Luck’s career arc and “what could have been,” comparing him to Derrick Rose in terms of talent and injuries.

4. All-Time Greats and Current Comparisons

• Bam Adebayo vs. Evan Mobley: The consensus leans Bam, citing versatility, strength, and untapped ceiling.
  Jeff (21:48): “Bam can go to another level that Evan Mobley can’t, just ‘cause his physicality and skill level.”
• How “Prettiness” Affects Perception: They argue fans are hypnotized by stylish scores (Kyrie, KD) versus brute efficiency (LeBron).

5. Franchise Values & Wealth Fantasies

• Portland Trail Blazers Sale: Crew reacts to their $4.25B team sale versus $6B Celtics. Investment as a sports owner is debated.
• “What Would You Do With $4 Billion?”: Classic banter on wild spending, generosity, and buying sports teams—most say they'd take care of their friends/family, get private jets, maybe buy into NBA or WNBA teams.

6. NBA Scoring Debates: Who’s the Best?

• Is Points or Style What Matters Most? They debate if scoring leaders (LeBron, KD) are truly the “best scorers,” with some claiming efficiency and impact trumps style. Jeff (38:26): "If I can get the basket just as efficient as you... I’m the best scorer… LeBron scores just as many points as anybody."
• LeBron’s Playmaking Love: Acknowledgement that LeBron loves fancy passing more than scoring, but his efficiency is historic.
• Team Elevation: LeBron vs. KD - who elevates talent around them? DJ and Jeff agree LeBron is the master at raising teammates’ games.

7. Specialization vs. Versatility for Young Players

• Advice for Young Ballers:
  • To make the NBA, be a specialist (shooter or defender), unless you’re a point guard, then be good at a bit of everything.
  • Athleticism alone doesn’t cut it—skill and IQ are mandatory, especially for smaller guards (rare exception: freak athletes).

8. Celtics & Roster Analysis

• Pritchard Starting?: Reactions are skeptical about the Celtics’ future with Payton Pritchard (52:11).
  Jeff (52:41): “I don’t know, boy. They might not make the playoffs, bro.”
• East Power Shifts: Most believe Boston looks like a 5-7 seed, not title contenders, and should consider tanking if the season goes awry.

9. WNBA: Star Power and Sustainability

• Post-Caitlin Clark Excitement: The panel worries the WNBA will struggle to maintain hype once its current star wave (Clark, Reese, etc.) fizzles due to injuries or graduation. Jeff (85:55): “For the W to sustain that popularity... it's a lot of pressure on her. We haven’t shown that anybody else is exciting.”
• Need for Multiple Stars: Comparison to the men's league, arguing the WNBA needs a critical mass of “must-watch” personalities.

Teague is on Twitter going crazy. They said y' all said Kobe don't play no defense. It was him and D. Wade being some psychopaths playing basketball. Kobe uploaded the out. D. Wade.

[Jeff]

We never said he don't play defense. Damn.

[DJ Wells]

Watch. I think. Why you got it back in blood, though?

[T]

I have to. Who's punched me in my neck, bro?

[Mook]

[DJ Wells]

But watch, McCoy was on the rest of the game because of this too. Full court. Yeah.

[T]

Where that pity pack at, bro?

[Mook]

I ain't gonna lie. I'm about. Listen, y' all talk about this. That making my eyes hurt.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Say whoever gave us this clip via vhs. Thank you. No, Kobe was on that. The rest of the game, though, was locking up. That was crazy, though, for him to knock him out the air like that. I know it wasn't that dramatic, but that was crazy.

[T]

Punched me in my neck. What you thought I was about to do.

[Mook]

Kobe love that type of. Though.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. The way we broke his nose in the All Star game.

[Mook]

You were saying they damn near shook up after that play like they did each other. Hey, say yeah, boy.

[T]

They keep saying it.

[Jeff]

We're just amazed that he had the most all defensive team.

No matter how we Try to clean it up. It's going to be a random person. You know, people to come to the.

[Jeff]

Light and say, somebody don't listen to the podcast.

[DJ Wells]

That's all it be somebody with a dog, Abby. That follow a million people and got two followers, bro. Talking crazy. They just want a reaction. Yeah, but y' all think we go back to that type of basketball, you know what I'm saying? That type of intensity. I mean, I know it's a little bit different now with the physicality and the foul calling, but do people still.

[DJ Wells]

I don't feel like that I wasn't mad at him. The timing was crazy, but I think that was some organizational stuff that just went bad between that the league getting out. The timing of it is crazy. For you to report that at halftime of a preseason game is nuts.

They didn't want to deal with the injury for them to bounce back. You know what I'm saying? He go get a Super bowl after that. Piss a lot of people off. I think the coach. I wish they could handle that differently.

[Jeff]

People.

[DJ Wells]

Andrew Luck, though.

[Jeff]

Yeah. People aren't really tripping, bro.

[Mook]

They would last time to get him too.

[Jeff]

What that was.

[DJ Wells]

They had cursed paint out there next year.

[T]

He was cold, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Show me his playoff resume. What was it so code about Andrew.

[T]

He was killing, but he didn't have a team, bro.

[Jeff]

He was the prototypical quarterback, bro.

[DJ Wells]

He was 6 4.

[Jeff]

Just cause you prototype don't mean you oh, bro.

[DJ Wells]

He could throw down, feel he can run.

[Jeff]

He was 54 and 4.

[Mook]

Oh, hell no.

[Jeff]

We got four playoff wins.

[Mook]

Oh, yeah. So my play. I'm gonna say that played. He threw a lot of touchdowns in the NFL.

[DJ Wells]

Now Andrew looks. That's hard. It's a lot of me wish I could have Andrew Luck, bro.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Andrew, Andrew, look.

[DJ Wells]

And 16 went to the playoffs four times.

[T]

What's wrong with that?

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, bro.

[Mook]

That's solid, bro. And when they the team literally tanked to get me, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. I'm sleeping with him.

[Mook]

Talking about I made something out of nothing.

[DJ Wells]

I wish we could have had Andrew Luck.

[T]

He made something.

[DJ Wells]

I wish I could had Andrew luck, bro.

[Mook]

Oh, on me. What on me, Andrew, look on the Cowboys, silly.

[DJ Wells]

We are getting a bubble. What do you mean? He is one of the coldest, bro.

[Jeff]

He's like, bro.

[Mook]

Nah. You look through a lot of TDS in the league.

[Jeff]

33, bro.

[DJ Wells]

And that's what he had, bro.

[Mook]

In six years, bro. He had a hell of a career.

[T]

Had a hell of a career, bro.

[Jeff]

That's hell of a career.

[Mook]

Yeah. 20, 30 touchdowns per year, bro. They're solid.

[Jeff]

They like. It's equivalent to D. Rose. Don't ever disrespect the girls.

[T]

Got anything?

[Jeff]

Hey, can you do me a favor?

[DJ Wells]

No. Now for sure. Good question, man. Let's get back in the super chat.

[T]

Oh, man, y'. All.

[DJ Wells]

Wow. Scroll. One time. I think we skipped somebody.

[Jeff]

There we go. Equivalent to D. Rose.

[DJ Wells]

They wild in the chat this morning, man. But shout out to Andrew Luck. We'll never forget.

[Jeff]

Oh, not yet. 950 on the way.

[DJ Wells]

Monkey pookie says, what's up, man? Are there any current younger players that remind you of Jeff's game?

[Jeff]

No.

[DJ Wells]

No. Justin Rice says, hey, y', all. Who better? Bam or Evan Mobley? I think people sleep on my heat. And we own Them Hawks, but the east wide open. We got a deep team, too. Hero finna get respect. Okay, Bam. Every. Moby. Where y' all going?

[Mook]

I'm going, Ben.

[T]

Yeah, give me Bam.

[DJ Wells]

Nacho.

[Jeff]

I'm going. Evan Mosley.

[DJ Wells]

Mobley, we caught some smoke on the Internet for us, Said that Evan Moby needs to take that leap next year. They were just like, he was all NBA. He averaged 1910. What else he supposed to do? Average 24, take it to the next level. Playoff success is what matters.

[Jeff]

Now. I like Bam better, but I'm just gonna say Evan Mo, because y' all.

[T]

Said Bam just dominate, bro. 24, 24, and 11, which I like.

[Mook]

I ain't mad at that, though. Like, I said that yesterday. And Evan Mobley, he. I ain't saying he maxed out, but he them to overachieve, like.

[T]

But the thing is, he wasn't expecting.

[Mook]

Him to do that.

[Jeff]

That's probably the best he gonna get.

[T]

Player, bro.

[Mook]

I understand.

[T]

If they want to win, he gonna have to turn his.

[Mook]

So is Bam, and they want more. Y' all said it ain't enough.

[Jeff]

Bam can do more. I think that's probably the best we're gonna see of Evermore. He probably become a better shooter. Yeah, but, like, his body type, he don't have a Giannis build. Like, the only step he could take is, like, Giannis. Like, he can come that physically imposing and just run people over and go dunk. But his aggressiveness in the way he played just doesn't mirror Giannis. He don't move as fluid as Giannis.

[Mook]

Nah, that's true.

[DJ Wells]

And again, for people being slow, it's not disrespect. Evan Mobley is one of the coldest players in the NBA. All NBA All Stars. Nothing but respect. But for them to take that next leap, he got to start killing more offensively. I know he was hurt. I know that they dealt with injuries, but in the playoffs, we, like, don't. Mitchell gotta get some help. You can't say that with somebody that's all NBA on your roster.

[T]

In a team like them, they. They the number one seed. And, like, they a real contender. Miami ain't no goddamn contender. Moly turn up. That's the only way I gonna win this year.

[Jeff]

They a contender. He gonna be a contender this year.

[T]

The Heat, I'm nothing.

[Jeff]

I like them. I mean, in addition to Norman Powell, I think Bam gonna take a leap. And then Tyler Harrell got a little bit of. He got a little chip on his shoulder, bro. I never count wig.

[T]

I'm talking fourth seed.

[Jeff]

You know, wig my duck wig in 20, regardless.

[DJ Wells]

You know how that works.

[Jeff]

But I just think Tyler Hero gonna take a leap because people came at him, people gunned at him. You know what I mean? So at some point you gotta.

[T]

So what you think he already Averaged what, 25?

[Jeff]

I'm talking about defensively.

[T]

Think he gonna guard?

[Mook]

Yeah, he gonna have to, bro, if he don't want that spun on his name.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I just think Bam can go to another level that Evan Mobley can't. Just cause his physicality and the skill.

[Mook]

Level to me too.

[T]

I like Bam more. So I'm with y'.

[Jeff]

All. Bam could be in a, like, a different kind of way. He's Evan Mobley more closer because his arms and the way he's built. But wait, Bam move. He can dribble.

[Mook]

And great.

[DJ Wells]

Especially Ben started getting a little bit more demanded with that.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Yeah.

[T]

Because Bam really got all that.

[Jeff]

He do. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Nice. And then look. Yeah, they got a little word too.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

But I mean, there's some people in that roster now. I know we was joking the other day about them, but they got some people in the roster can hoop.

[T]

They do.

[Mook]

They say if and they all these. So it's cool.

[Jeff]

I like. I like Miami. Sure.

[DJ Wells]

And they got spoke, man. Never lose with a coach like that. Good question.

When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked. I'm Maria Hinojosa. I dreamt of having a place where voices that have been historically sidelined would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the radio journal of news and cultur as the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us. From sharp and deep analysis of the.

[Noah de Barrasso]

Most pressing news, they're creating this narrative that immigrants are criminals.

[Mook]

This is about everyone's freedom of speech.

[Maria Hinojosa]

Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identity.

[Jeff]

When you do get a trans character.

[DJ Wells]

Like Emilia Perez, the trans community is going to push back on that colorism.

[Noah de Barrasso]

All of these things that exist in.

[Maria Hinojosa]

Mexican culture and Latino culture, you'll hear from people like Congresswoman Aoc.

[Mook]

Yeah, be cool, man.

[Jeff]

If y' all just came into, like, 4.2 billion, would y', all, like, invest in an NBA team or slay?

[Mook]

I would. I would if it was the right. If I had the right conversations, I would write relationships.

[T]

Probably not, bro. I'm just gonna chill.

[DJ Wells]

I'm honest to the patient. Just to say I own a piece.

[T]

Of paper or more work. I'm not. I'm cool, bro. I don't need nothing, bro. I have 4.2 billion. What am I trying to get at this point?

[Jeff]

I'm cool. I don't know. I probably wouldn't buy into a basket.

[T]

I probably would, though.

[DJ Wells]

I probably buy into it.

[Jeff]

I probably buy into a WNBA team, man.

[DJ Wells]

You about doing that I know I.

[Mook]

I'm ain't gonna lie.

[Jeff]

Soccer team, soccer teams, football teams around.

[Mook]

Get on that. If we.

[Jeff]

I got 250 for every league.

[Mook]

I need something.

[DJ Wells]

My portfolio gonna be elite, bro.

[Mook]

I need some type of structure to.

[Jeff]

My.

[Mook]

Slide it down the table.

[Jeff]

We ain't got to do so.

[Mook]

I need. I need some priorities, man. I need Mike slipping off the radar. Keep him on a good radar. You can buy a glizzy station in every city.

[DJ Wells]

Lizzy Stomp is crazy.

[T]

I'm not buying a station.

[Jeff]

That's what we call it.

[DJ Wells]

I don't know about the glizzy part, but I'm still gonna have my own gas station.

[Mook]

That's a central though.

[Jeff]

Yeah, definitely.

[Mook]

Yes, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Glizzy station's wild. All right, man, let's move on, man. Austin Rivers, man, talking about sporting in the NBA. Let's see it. Oh, that's just the truth.

[Mook]

They need to put Austin on espn.

[DJ Wells]

He been on there a couple times. Bl. He has. It's been a freight training all time career. Ben, you can score a lot of points. Does that makes you the best scorer of all time? I don't agree with that.

[Jeff]

Yeah, Kevin have over. Let's say Kobe.

[DJ Wells]

I saw stat that Kevin has led his team in shot attempt since 2018. Problem with that is the evolution of the game has really brought up the ports the of. Of analytics and percentages. Not to say they didn't matter before, but they just did as much. All right. Our whole game now is predicated off numbers. Whereas before it was an eye testing. People didn't care that I have 30 on 30 shots. They're like, man, I was dominant today. Now if you do that, you get crucified for it. They blame it. Okay, couple valid points in there. How y' all feel about that?

[T]

Score the most points. I'm the best scorer.

[Jeff]

He's 100 accurate, though. Because we didn't care how many shots Iverson took or Kobe or whoever it was. They shot 40 shots but had 45 points.

[Mook]

Yeah, we celebrated that.

[Jeff]

It was the moments. So if they did that in the fourth quarter, yeah, they got hot in the fourth and they won the game. That's what we remembered. We didn't care that they missed their first 15 shots. It was what they did in the clutch and that's what made them special to us. But as far as the NBA and scoring, I think Kevin Durant's one of the most skilled players and skilled scores, but that'll make him the best scorer. I think if I can get the basket, just as efficient as you. But however I do it, I'm the best scorer. And LeBron scores just as many points to anybody.

[T]

Yeah. People get fooled by the way they look.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[T]

Like, Kyrie is pretty. KD is pretty. But if I score the most, I score the most, bro. No matter if I run somebody over to the.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, it's interesting you said that. A lot of people been saying that we fall in love more with how people score. Really, the actual result, they're just like, bro, it don't matter if I'm simple Peach. If I just get to the basket, hit less, bro. It's better than me doing eight crossovers and step back, it's still two points.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[T]

Points, bro.

[Jeff]

Yeah. I'll give you an example. Kenya sent me something the other day and was like, this is the best 11 points I ever seen. It was like a video of me and dude was like, roasting a little bit, but I was doing these little moves and stuff. He's like, he's gonna have the most of.

[T]

Look pretty.

[DJ Wells]

11 point.

[Jeff]

It's 11 points.

[DJ Wells]

11 points.

[Mook]

It just.

[Jeff]

It just looked okay. Yeah, but If I'm getting 28 and then it's ugly. But you can't stop me. I'm rolling with that.

[T]

Me too.

[DJ Wells]

I'm killer. No matter how I do it.

[Jeff]

I put the ball in the hole. I'm killing for real. And then when you go, look at my efficiency, it's through the roof. Because I'm not missing LeBron shoot damn near 61 year from the field. You like? Yeah.

[Mook]

And look, Sad thing is, LeBron could average 40 in the NBA every year if you wanted to, if that could. Free throws. Free throws, bro. Probably could have averaged them there. 35 to 48 every year.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. There were some years with LeBron's free throws, it's like, all right, my dog, like, lock in. But, I mean, you can't have everything, I guess.

[Jeff]

But I mean, if he even just determined, like, got determined, like, yo, I'm gonna score 35 every night. And didn't care about nothing else. Nothing else.

[T]

He could do 35 for sure every.

[Jeff]

Night, but he kind of always cared.

[DJ Wells]

About the game, like, playing the right run involved.

[Mook]

That's the scary part about him, though, cuz he always want to play the right way and still end up with 30.

[Jeff]

Yeah. And I think. I think he got a. I think he enjoyed throwing fancier passes and fancy passes and passes and, like, no looks and all that stuff more than he did scoring.

[Mook]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeff]

Because if you look how when he was in high school, every time he threw a pass or no look or whatever, you get hyped.

[Mook]

It look crazy. He was so big doing that, though, man. That look weird. For real.

[DJ Wells]

Going down for real.

[T]

Killer.

[Jeff]

I think he got more of a kick out of that than scoring the basketball.

[Mook]

I would, too, if I know I can get 30.

[T]

I'm like, that Scoring was so easy for him, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[T]

He knew he was going to do that, bro.

[Mook]

I don't want to throw it behind the back pass every time.

[Jeff]

Yeah. I think that's what make him so great that he can elevate teams. Like, y' all know how I feel about Kevin Durant. We think he one of the best players ever.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

But I don't know if he has the ability to, like, take a questionable team, kind of say, and just elevate them dudes to a certain level.

[T]

He don't do that.

[Mook]

I think I always do. Speak on, like, I like playing around a bunch of great basketball players, know.

[T]

How to play the game.

[Mook]

So I can just go out there and hoop.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. I'm not trying to do all that leads to the promise.

[T]

The reason why, because he's. He's really a shooting guard. Brian is a point guard, so he could control the whole game.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[T]

KD out there to score the ball, bro. Somebody else do all this.

[DJ Wells]

Other facts.

[Jeff]

I think that's what's make our game beautiful. Well, basketball beautiful, because you got guys like that that we hold this pedal store. And Kevin Durant's one of those guys like, hey, bro, I'm good at basketball. Get me off that pedal. So, like, I don't care about that. I'm just out here doing what I like to do. I'm having fun. I'm not worried about elevating and doing. I want to win, but I'm hooping, bro. And this is just what I like to do. Brian always was strategic. Like, everything was like, take chess. Yeah, I'm gonna be the best here. I'm. I'm getting this guy. I'll make him look good because it's gonna make me be the greatest player ever.

[T]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Yeah. KD Denver. Nothing on the specialist next to him.

[Jeff]

He. Damn it. Don't care.

[T]

Don't care.

[Mook]

He don't care. But I'm just saying, it's like, bro, you. You just shoot. Just shoot defense. I ain't trying to make you do other.

[T]

Yeah, he just want to play good basketball.

[Mook]

But I'm saying LeBron made, like, Iman and Junior think the game y here with me, bro. We're doing this. Go here, go there.

[T]

I don't want to make no. They know what they doing.

[Jeff]

They know how to play. They on my level.

[Mook]

Yeah, that's. That with Dray. Makes so much sense when y' all say this. Like, give me the ball, bro.

[T]

You know what time it is?

[Jeff]

Yeah, bro. Yeah. I need people that's on my level that think the game how I think the game. I don't got time to be thinking the game for you. You can respect that. I kind of respect that.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

And there should be no point where you looking me off. Drayma, you my dog. Respect to you. Hall of Fame. Don't look me up, bro. Especially not a clutch. You out of pocket, bro.

[T]

You got to be real good to, like, make other people elevate, bro.

[Jeff]

You got to be one of us, like, relational. That's what made Chris Paul special. Yeah. That's what make LeBron very special. It's a rare few people who can, like, just do that.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Like, even Mike couldn't do that.

[Mook]

N. It's really pipping for real.

[T]

Mike just like, give me a ball, bro.

[Jeff]

I'll win the game by myself. But he really didn't make people better.

[T]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Like, now he challenged them, other people to get better. Like, he challenged Scotty. Like, hey, you gotta get stronger. You gotta be this.

[Mook]

He led by every part about Jason Kidd, too.

[T]

Yeah, better, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Come on, bro. You see, we went to the bottoms with bro. I want to ask y' all this question. You know what I'm saying? Y' all in the high school game, a young player who just get buckets and they're trying to go to college, to the next level, what would you tell them to be a specialist or learn how to do everything well or just, what's your advice for him?

[T]

I mean, you want to make the NBA, you need to be a specialist. You need to be really good at something. Like, if you're a knockdown shooter, perfect, they're gonna have a job for you. Or if you're a defender, lock up. NBA is about specialist. But college, you probably need to do a little more.

[Jeff]

I don't agree, Mo. I think it depends what role you play. So if you're a point guard, you probably want to be really good at a little bit of everything. You want to be able to make other people better scoring, passing, a good defender, just play the right way but have this scoring ability. Obviously be able to shoot the basketball, but if you a 6, 7 wing, I want to be a good rebounder. Like, I want to be able to shoot and I want to be a good defender. I can figure everything else out. I can run the floor somebody, you know what I mean? I could be a specialist, kind of depending on the height. If I'm a center, I need to be able to shoot. I need to play back to the basket, catch a lobby and be skillful enough to do dribble handoffs and stuff.

[Mook]

Sheesh.

[Noah de Barrasso]

Majority of the youth 18 through 24 say they trust Republicans more than Democrats to fund the economy.

[DJ Wells]

You kidding me?

[Noah de Barrasso]

Politics is wild, and I'm definitely not here to tame it. But I'm here to make sense of it, just what's happening, why it matters, and what it means for us. Bring your brain. Listen to now youw Know with Noah de Barrasta on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

[Maria Hinojosa]

When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked. I'm Maria Hinojosa. I dreamt of having a place where voices that have been historically sidelined would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the radio journal of news and cultula. As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us.

[Jeff]

Us.

[Maria Hinojosa]

From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news.

[Noah de Barrasso]

They're creating this narrative that immigrants are criminals.

[Jeff]

This is about everyone's freedom of speech.

[Maria Hinojosa]

Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identities.

[Jeff]

When you do get a trans character like Emilia Perez, the trans community is.

[DJ Wells]

Going to push back on that colorism.

[Noah de Barrasso]

All of these things that exist in.

[DJ Wells]

Mexican culture and Latino culture, you'll hear.

[Maria Hinojosa]

From people like Congresswoman Aoc.

I'm Jake Hofer and this is back 40, a limited series show on Wire to Hunt, part of Meat Eaters Podcast Network. Each episode I'll be asking eight whitetail hunting pros a focused, thought provoking question about hunting and land management.

[DJ Wells]

Management.

[Jake Hofer]

How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access?

[Mook]

Should you?

[DJ Wells]

That's what the real question is. Stand without good access is not a good stand.

[Jake Hofer]

Listen to Back 40 on iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast Pass.

[Jeff]

Like I had to have some type of skill.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

On a perimeter a little bit, but it had to be a really good rim protector.

[T]

Yep.

[Jeff]

So, dude, it just depends on your height. To me, if you was six four.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Me if you a six, four wing and you do everything well and nothing great, you probably ain't gonna make it.

[Mook]

Yeah. Or if you're a six two shooting guard.

[Jeff]

Yeah. You probably.

[Mook]

Unless you.

[T]

Ben Gordon.

[Jeff]

Yeah. But he shot the ball.

[T]

So he was. He's a real bucket.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Like if you stick forward, you just kind of. He get you 15, he get you 5, 6, 4 and he probably you.

[T]

Gotta be lights out or something.

[Jeff]

You gonna have to be. He gets you 18 and he shoots 48 from the three.

[Mook]

What if you freakishly athletic, though?

[T]

That. That only get you.

[Mook]

That gets that being athletic. Is that. Is that one of the top things to do to make to the league? No, because I think athleticism for making it.

[Jeff]

If you.

[T]

No, everything is situated. If you a big and you crazy athlete, you probably get a chance.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mook]

Like, I mean, of course y' all been there. I'm just. I think what I see a lot of times is like, somebody not making it because they wasn't athletic enough.

[Jeff]

They. They took that out the game kind of, though, like the pure athlete. You don't really see them. They kind of. If you're just a pure athlete, they kind of look at you as a dumb player now.

[T]

Yeah, you gotta have some skill.

[Jeff]

Like, no disrespect to Obie Topping, but when you look at Obi, you like, he's a good player, but when he first got in the league, they looked at him as a dumb player. Cause he was just athletic right Then he got better. He can shoot the ball.

[DJ Wells]

He always could.

[Jeff]

He could shoot in college, but now that he shows his ability to stretch the floor, shoot the ball, play dribble, handoff, now he's a valuable player. But when people looked at him as an athlete in New York, they were just like, all he do is jump dunk, like. But now that he's, you know, his skill set evolved, and he probably always had that, but he got his chance to show it now. He looks. He's like a valuable player. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

You a good example?

[Jeff]

Yeah, most definitely. I don't know. Just too many. Just pure athletes. Jericho Sims is like, the only person I know is just like a super athlete, but he's seven foot.

[Mook]

I mean, if you're a small guard, though, I feel like if you're not athletic, it's icy, bro.

[T]

Yeah, you don't have to be able to.

[Mook]

Yeah, you're gonna have to be.

[Jeff]

You got to be. Had some explosiveness. If you six one, you got to be able to shoot that, bro. You got to be quick. Crazy.

[DJ Wells]

First steps.

[T]

He's a uniform, bro. Like, most of the guards like that. They don't have to be real athletic, bro.

[Mook]

Gotcha.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I wouldn't say that, though, because thing Preacher's not super athletic.

[Mook]

Well, he got a dummy spray.

[Jeff]

I know what I'm saying. You have to be really skillful, strong, and you have to be quick, fast. I don't think you have to be.

[T]

A high jump, crazy high. But you gotta be fast and quick and.

[Jeff]

Yeah, yeah. You can't be no Chubby. I can't get by nobody. You gotta be able to get by.

[T]

Your man, Mr. Tempo.

[DJ Wells]

I guess C.J.

[T]

Mcconnell is kind of fast.

[Jeff]

Yeah, he fast as. Yeah, no, most definitely get by his man.

[DJ Wells]

Excuse me. Speaking of Peyton Pritchard. So it's a spark next year for the Celtics, you know what I'm saying? Anthony Simons might come off the bench. I think they're still trying to find another team for him or whatever situation they're trying to figure out with him. But with Boston, how y' all feeling next year, man?

[Jeff]

Sorry.

[DJ Wells]

That's what it's looking like, man. Him and Derek White gonna be in the back court.

[Jeff]

I love it.

[DJ Wells]

Maybe at the three, then that four court, you know, get a little spooky.

[Jeff]

There, but yeah, who they starting at the center.

[DJ Wells]

Looking like he just gonna start. That's what they were saying early on. But at the floor, I don't know who it might might be Chris Boucher.

[Jeff]

I don't know, boy. They might not make the playoffs, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to Luca Garza, baby.

[Jeff]

If they do, it might be a 7, 6, 7 seed.

[T]

Regardless.

[Mook]

If this team make the playoffs, it's gonna say something about the East.

[Jeff]

Yeah, bro.

[Mook]

Jalen Brown is gonna have to average 38. 8.

[Jeff]

Derek White not to be right behind him with 24.

[Mook]

He might 7 to 10.

[Jeff]

Yeah, they gonna have to be a three headed monster. And they make the playoffs, bro. None of them can get. Not one of them can twist the ankle or nothing.

[T]

One through eight, they gonna.

[Jeff]

I mean, they still got Anthony Simons. If they keep him.

[DJ Wells]

Get a bucket as well.

[Jeff]

Yeah, they keep him.

[Mook]

Is the Celtics better than the Heat?

[DJ Wells]

No, not this year.

[T]

No, they shouldn't be.

[DJ Wells]

They shouldn't.

[Jeff]

For some reason. Joe Missoula. I love Joe. He can coach and he figures out. So let me take that back, Marc. Celtics probably be a 5 seed.

[T]

They gonna make the playoffs. Whoa.

[DJ Wells]

I don't think they want that. They should let JB Kill get the All Star nine. And he better not play a game.

[Jeff]

After everybody where they don't really. They can't. They can't afford to have they.

[Mook]

That fan base is too dangerous.

[Jeff]

It ain't been that.

[DJ Wells]

I just want to chip, bro.

[Jeff]

It ain't even that. It's the money. You got to think JB and JT, they both getting 300. Plus Derek White.

[T]

Yeah, we weak. A lot of bread that, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Our best Players down, bro. Let's go ahead and take and turn back up, bro. We go solidify this top three pick and we back in the streets, baby.

[Mook]

Down after February is crazy.

[Jeff]

Yeah, after you.

[DJ Wells]

After you get your all star knot. It's over with, bro. We don't care about the playoffs. None of this stuff matters, bro.

[Mook]

Let's take the one to make the playoffs.

[DJ Wells]

For what? To lose in the first round.

[T]

They just Boston, bro.

[Mook]

I mean, y' all made it and got lucky.

[DJ Wells]

Don't disrespect us. We went to the Eastern Conference. It was to the Boston.

[Jeff]

I see what you saying. Like, hey, let's tank and what are we doing?

[DJ Wells]

We have nothing to get. We're not winning a championship. We're not going to make a deep playoff run. We talk about money. The way you get young talent on the team is to have an off year like other championship teams do.

[T]

I get it.

[DJ Wells]

It what we do it.

[Jeff]

Why we need a win for they the type of team that they. They. They wouldn't get a top pick.

[Mook]

They're not, bro.

[DJ Wells]

NB has cheated for them before, bro. Darren Peterson to the Sussex Lo, bro.

[Jeff]

Go ahead.

[DJ Wells]

Get that top three pick.

[Mook]

If anything, they need to take booze. They need a big. They don't need no two more wings unless you getting rid of one of your.

[Jeff]

They get. They get booze. That is crazy. But I told y' all booze is going to Utah. Remember?

[DJ Wells]

I told y'.

[Jeff]

All. Yeah, I can see that, Cam. We will be a Utah jazz.

[Mook]

Damn.

[Jeff]

Yeah, A.J. the ban. He heard it here first. It's going to Brooklyn.

[DJ Wells]

I don't wish that for that, man. But God bless.

[T]

Yo Keel, bro.

[Jeff]

Go whatever he wants in the Brooklyn.

[Mook]

Go kill Bron is there.

[Jeff]

Darren Peterson is going to get rid of MPJ for. Peterson is going to go to.

[DJ Wells]

It's a lot of bad teams, boy.

[Jeff]

Boy, it's. He got some options.

[T]

That's Washington.

[Jeff]

No, he ain't going to be able to get there. He going to go to be top.

[Mook]

Five again this year.

[T]

Don't go to your sacrament lottery.

[DJ Wells]

I agree.

[Jeff]

Peterson. Peterson gonna end up having to go to Sacramento.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, no. That's even worse.

[Mook]

The. I'm tripping. The wizard is not. Wizard is gonna be top nine team out there this year. Top eight.

[DJ Wells]

D Penon to the Nets.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

AJ to the Jazz K Boost of the Wizards. They admit to the rap shots.

[Mook]

That ain't nothing but a really a couple swaps, right?

[Jeff]

I'm telling you, Cam. Going Jazz M. Brown to the Grizzlies.

[DJ Wells]

Dam. They got Grizzlies going lottery dancing this there.

[Mook]

They got Scotty Jr. And J. Oh.

[DJ Wells]

They got M. Brown. Sorry. Respectfully to them, gentlemen.

[Jeff]

Yeah, J.

[DJ Wells]

Not J, obviously, but I'm saying Sky Jr. And Todd Jerome, they just got. Yeah, it's going to be M Brow time. Respectfully to both of them, gentlemen of the.

[Jeff]

Of the Grizzly had a bad year. Are they going to get. They going to move on from J.

[Mook]

They can going to need M season.

[Jeff]

No, I'm not saying they can't. I'm just saying like, is it a possibility? Do you be like, hey, we just gonna go in a different direction?

[Mook]

Nothing, bro.

[T]

Nobody wants to go to Memphis like that, bro. Y' all got a super superstar, I.

[DJ Wells]

Guess if he plays well and they said no. If he plays bad and they bad, I think it's gonna be somewhat of a conversation.

[T]

Can't get rid of job, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I can't see it, Johnny.

[Mook]

His own squad.

[DJ Wells]

But they are gonna be stuck financially because you know they pay Triple J.

[Jeff]

So on the way up. I mean, his payment probably do.

[T]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

What you wait time.

[Jeff]

Extension time after this? Right after this year. Because it's extension for trade then next year. Yeah, J is probably up for extension.

[T]

I'm sure they goddamn jumping, bro.

[DJ Wells]

He signed in 20, 22, 5 year. So yeah, he gonna probably get extension soon.

[Jeff]

Big next year extension time.

[Mook]

Oh, man. They get rid of J. It's. It's quiet, bro.

[Jeff]

I don't think they are. I mean, they can't. But like, yeah. John Morant is Memphis.

[DJ Wells]

He has to be at Grizzly for life, bro.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Yeah. And Triple J got to leave. If John leave, bro, what am I here for? He's ABS. He zaps his energy when he's not there, bro.

[Jeff]

Facts.

[Mook]

So I'm nothing.

[DJ Wells]

My boy got paid though. He ain't tripping. He figured it out.

[Mook]

No shout out to Triple J. But I'm saying it is different when John Moran is not there. He looks like a totally different player.

[Jeff]

That's a fact.

[DJ Wells]

1,000%. All right, man. Your Hawks man, KP, he said he want to go to MMA once he done hooping, man.

[Jeff]

All right. Moving.

[Mook]

Yeah. Hawks. Hawks.

[Mook]

I hope. Hopefully this is fake.

[Jeff]

Wait till the seven seed, bro.

[Mook]

Hopefully. This is.

[Jeff]

Hopefully young boy from Georgia can step in and make some close to his home part.

[DJ Wells]

Also trying, but I Promise. One of the clubs I represent. I wouldn't pursue it. My basketball career. I'm saving myself for MMA career after basketball.

[Mook]

This is Latino USA, the radio journal of news and cultura. As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us. From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news.

Like if you in the basketball, we know Olivia Miles, you know these, we know them. But if you're not a basketball, basketball head, head, you kind of fall off a little bit. Like, are we super excited about college this year? Because we know juju's hurt. It's kind of like. Yeah. You know what I mean?

[DJ Wells]

Yep. Yeah. And a lot of people said that last year when she got her, they were just like not even thinking about her, which was super insistent. They were just like, what happens to the game? Make sure. Because we don't have a star, we can really push. Like there's obviously a lot of dope players in college women's basketball right now, but you don't have that star power to follow up.

[Jeff]

To follow up.

[DJ Wells]

Like Paige Baker's followed up after Cece. I see where you going there. Like Ozzy Foy is nice. Olivia Miles is nice. Even though she. She transferred. He probably wouldn't.

[Mook]

67.

[DJ Wells]

Laura Bets is cold too. Definitely got to mention her name.

[T]

I get hurt, everything shuts down.

[Mook]

She done her biggest in college basketball.

[Jeff]

She's good Lord.

[Mook]

She's pretty tall, bro. And she shoot 64%.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, she's definitely in the transfer from Stanford.

[T]

I seen her play in a Big Ten tournament.

[Mook]

667 female. Jesus Christ.

[DJ Wells]

They had her and Kiki ear at one time, bro. They was whooping ass. Stanford for sure.

[Jeff]

She's definitely good. But it's just like. Are you excited about her?

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Being the number one pick? No, no, nobody's excited. I mean the team, whoever gets her going to be like we're getting a really good player. But like I'm saying as a fan base and the general public, you need more excitement. And I don't know how long Kaylin can sustain that in the W. Like will we still be excited about Kaitlyn Clark shooting from half court and two years.

[DJ Wells]

She gonna have to have some success behind her for. I mean she gonna get the love, but she gotta start having some success.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Cuz they was making on juju being the second coming right behind that and not really having to push that as much. I'm really intrigued to see what they gonna do as far as promotion wise.

[Jeff]

Yeah, that's what I'm speaking off of, like promoting it. Cuz bro, she gonna have to have moments where she just goes for like 40s and yeah, it's gonna have to be. But if it's still like right now, she's just being a consistent player even though she's hurt.

[DJ Wells]

Whatever.

[Jeff]

But she's like, like 18 and 8.

[T]

Then you got up that we need 27.

[Jeff]

Yeah. She g to do like college stuff.

[Mook]

27.

[T]

We need crazy, bro. A lot.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[T]

Laying on you, bro.

[DJ Wells]

She can average 20, but if she has those explosions where like you said she had a nuclear game, she getting 40 and 50 or something like that, or having crazy shooting nights, I think that's gonna survive.

[Jeff]

Nah, it's gonna have to be so too low.

[T]

She gonna have to do something.

[Jeff]

She gonna have to look so dominant to like. Like, if she start even out with people and start looking like a plant. Like I just said, how I started the with like saying that old girl might be better than her Kelsey. Yeah. If it start looking like that throughout it, it's just going to kind of fall off like the older she get.

[T]

Yeah, don't get like that.

[Jeff]

And it should.

[T]

No, you can average 19 now. You've been in league two, three, four years. You gotta.

[Jeff]

It's like, come on with it. It has to be that Steph Curry effect where it's like, oh, she's averaging 26. And it's like we. Nobody can with her. We like, we never seen like. And then it's gonna still, like, she's still gonna be famous and she's still gonna be great. But I'm saying for the W to sustain that popularity that it got right now, it's a lot of pressure on her. But we haven't shown that nobody else is exciting. I mean, Asia Reese did a good job. She's hurt too. But nobody's really excited about these other players at that point.

[T]

When them two came out of college, that shit was lit. That shit was super lit.

[DJ Wells]

And even with some of the stars that have in the league, like Asia Wilson being one of the colors that ever walked in them doors, y' all still didn't push it the way y' all should be. She got her own shoot. Like there's promotion while they could do. And they got a little lazy because. Because they got spoon fed. They thought juju was the next coming. All right, now she's down now what do you do now that hurts the W and college basketball for game Gotta be exciting. Yeah, I agree.

[T]

Asia kills, but it just like. It's not super exciting.

[Jeff]

N. She's just the best.

[T]

Busting they ass.

[Jeff]

Yeah, she's just the best, bro.

[T]

Yeah, she's just the best. Like, but it gotta be exciting.

[Jeff]

Her shoe is dope too, but she's just the best.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

So it's like it's thing that make Caitlyn game exciting is cuz for a girl aspect is that she shoots far threes and then she got this, she got this just like chip on her shoulder a little bit. She plays, she talks, jump and she make the game exciting. But if that starts to dwindle, become.

[Mook]

Normal, they need about four more other players like that. Yeah, they got John Lamelo and Ant.

[Jeff]

They need and he was on their way with Paige.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

And it was supposed to be juju following up against Kaitlyn Paige. Juju.

[DJ Wells]

I think Ozzy Fox gonna be super cold in the league as well but.

[Jeff]

Yeah, but I don't think she got that same notoriety. Yeah, that same.

[Mook]

That's what they need. What's the name? Angel. Angel.

[Jeff]

Angel Reese to be like a dominant.

[Mook]

Yeah. They need her to be crazy in the pain.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, most definitely.

[Jeff]

Sure. She got to be like her stats got to be superstar.

[T]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Mook]

They got the same pressure.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I agree. Shout out to Golden State man. Get it done over the miss successful day 88 to 83 talking about expansion team going crazy in their first year. Veronica Burton went crazy 377 got that dub Shout out to see that.

[Jeff]

That's like my fault not to cut you off. That's like my point. Like, like they, they're hooping, they're having a good year expansion team but we're not excited about them. As a normal fan, like a normal fan just watch basketball. I'm not excited about them because they don't have anybody. I'm like who is that?

[T]

Yeah, like that's true.

[DJ Wells]

And they got some young talent as well but they not notoriety.

[Jeff]

It's not fair like to say it like that but it's just the truth as far as their game and it's like you killing but. But the average person because when I look at basketball I look as the average person. Not a fan of the game, whatever. Just the average person who might catch a game or hear about it. Yeah, it's going to be. It's interesting going forward.

[DJ Wells]

Well said. Asus got a dub over deliver yesterday. A3077 shout out to Jewel Lloyd. Man, she been playing a lot better.

[Mook]

She done picked it up yesterday. She played like a dude bro. She got a legit B.

[DJ Wells]

[Mook]

She, she got a burner. She hit a couple threes in the clutch. She saved them yesterday.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, she been like that.

[Mook]

She was back.

[Jeff]

They was down cuz she actually Having a down year.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. And it's a lot of pressure on her because of what the Aces lost. You know, you had a dynasty there. You lose Kelsey Plum, lose some other pieces, and they go get her. They have the same success so far, but no shout out to her.
