I warn you, be careful of thinking you can knuckle with the young fellas, man. It ain't the same like it used to be. And I learned that the hard way.

Levar Arrington
Nope, nope. You don't want it to go there, brother. I'm telling you, I learned this the hard way. I thought. I thought when I thought things could go over there, and I learned the hard way. And I spent last night's game getting bullied because of it. So I'm just telling you, we played the Wizards last night, and I spent the whole game.

Levar Arrington
No, no, first off, the two young fellas, Terry Bub and Keyshawn Jordan, they started talking to me. I'm literally sitting there asking them like, yo, y'all talk. They like, yeah, that's what we own. I said, oh, cool. We can talk then. All right, let's go. I was excited as hell. So we talking. I was getting bullied.

That got you red handed, dog. That was all.
- [04:33]
Levar Arrington
Ain't crushing. I spent last night. I spent last night getting bullied. Getting bullied because of it, man. And I, you know, I went into that game just thinking, I'm going to play a basketball game, man. Dude came out there wanting to bully me, man. I don't want no problems. Yeah, you got. I don't want no issue. Hey, yo, young dog, y'all gotta chill.
- [04:55]

Levar Arrington
I don't want no issues, man. I had a good time last night.
- [05:00]
Unknown
It was fun. I mean, but you did. You did trigger. You did set it off with the pointing. You know what you did.
- [05:06]
Levar Arrington
Well, no. Well, all right, so.
- [05:08]
Unknown
Well, yeah.
- [05:11]
Levar Arrington
Hey, bro. Hey, hey, come on, Brad.
- [05:16]
Unknown
You in the game.
- [05:17]
Levar Arrington
Somebody hit it.
- [05:18]
Unknown
3.
- [05:18]
Levar Arrington
And the dude just.
- [05:19]
Unknown
Why are you pointing at me like, bro? Why.
- [05:23]
Levar Arrington
So here's the issue. All right, so here's the problem. So the first Time I catch the ball on the poor. The post. George smashed up on me. He overzealously is like, like. And they call a file. And I, you know, I could feel that it was like, more to the pushes on. He's like, yeah. And I could feel. And so they called a file. And I just tapped him on the chest like, hey, it's cool, bro. Like, that was cool. It's cool. Like, tap on the chest, bro. Like, we going. So then as the game keep going on, you know how you can see a look in somebody eye when you like, on. He like. And so. And he's like, talking to me. Like, he's saying little stuff to me. And so I ain't paying in no mind. Yeah, we cash. I ain't paying it no mind. You know what I'm saying? I'm just chilling. I'm like, oh, he on that type of time. That's crazy, because last year, he ain't say a word. So I'm thinking to myself, like, we ain't. I ain't coming in the game.
- [06:21]
Unknown
Oh, yeah, he ain't gonna say nothing. It's gonna be cool.
- [06:23]
Levar Arrington
He ain't say nothing. Like, last year. He ain't say nothing. Moving on. And, you know, he was talking, and so I was like, oh, that's interesting. So then fast forward to the play. They run the. That's car horns twist. They run the guard gar ball screen. He go off the flare. Our man get whacked with the flare. Me being the defensive guy that I am, I'm gonna make a last ditch effort and try to get a contest. You know what I'm saying? I make the last dish effort to get a contest. He pointed at me, and I'm like, my manager is pointed at me like I was guarding him, bro. I just tried to get a late contest.
- [07:01]
Unknown
Like, oh, he pointed at you first.
- [07:04]
Levar Arrington
Yeah, he pointed at me after he hit the shot as if, like, he broke me off and, like, hit the shot, bro. I'm getting a late contestant. Ain't even my man. I'm doing more, by the way, on Stackhouse, grading defensive grades. I'm gonna get an extra point for that late contest. That wasn't even supposed to be my contest. So, you know what I'm saying? I go for the late contest. He point at me like he just dropped me off. So, you know, everybody on my Twitter, like, draymond point. Steph hits a three. Well, it's actually the same exact thing, because then he went and got a contest that wasn't his contest. And he got his eye banged, and I pointed back at him. And so now I'm like, oh, that was interesting coming out of halftime. This is going to be fun.
- [07:51]
Unknown
You know what I'm saying?
- [07:51]
Levar Arrington
And it went from there. He bullied me the rest of the night. Like, he was bullying me the whole first half. But it was cool. I had fun.
- [07:58]
Unknown
Did you say anything when you pointed? You should have pointed and said, see.
- [08:02]
Levar Arrington
That could have been you.
- [08:07]
Unknown
That have done him off.
- [08:08]
Levar Arrington
He done four in the second half, bro. Listen, man, I'll tell you what. I got nothing against that, brother. I was not trying to talk trash to him. I was just pointing back because he pointed at me. And for all the dummies on Twitter and Instagram, that's like, well, that ain't the same thing because Draymond didn't make the shot. It's the same exact thing because we both contested a shot on a man.
- [08:34]
Unknown
That wasn't the spirit of the game, baby.
- [08:36]
Levar Arrington
Exactly. So take that, you dummies that can't identify what actually happened in the game and can only see what proves my point. And what I always say, what can you see? You can see who made the shot and who missed the shot. That is about the level of your basketball intelligence. Don't write me on Instagram and Twitter trying to basketball, stupid. You look dumb and you just lose respect. I'm sitting here. I'm sitting here last night with Moses Moody, and I. I started. Trav starts talking about the play, and Moses right out the blue goes, well, the situations were the same. Of course they were, Moses. But these dummies on my Instagram don't notice. So, yeah, I'm off them. Y'all done got them started now.
- [09:24]

- [10:23]
Let's get into this. This four, one road trip. Y'all just finished. Big win in OKC. I don't like to say which win was the best, but which win was like. Which one was like, ooh, you know, we got this one.
- [10:41]
Levar Arrington
Boston.
- [10:42]
Unknown
Absolutely.
- [10:44]
Levar Arrington
And it has to be Boston because, you know, we beat them in a championship on that floor. When you walk into these arenas that you won a championship at, you automatically go back to that. Like, oh, man, it's this place. Like, I feel good in this place. You know what I'm saying? So going into that place, you know, they playing. They're playing great. You know, one loss, they got us coming in, you know, and it's. The setup is there cracking, you know what I'm saying? And we start the road trip off 2, 0 and then headed into Boston. Everybody like, oh, they start the road trip off two. And now. But now the road trip get tough. And then we go in there like, we pretty much controlled that game. The whole game.
- [11:30]
Unknown
The whole game.
- [11:31]
Levar Arrington
You know, and to go in there and do that. And obviously they're without jb, you know, and kp, but you can only play who they put on the floor. And so to go in and send that message like, we still here. And I'm gonna tell you, it's even a little more emphasis on. And here's why. Last year, we did the whole shooting thing with Jaylen Brown, and I felt like we kind of let the wrath off of them. Like, we. I feel like we propelled them a bit when we did that. The confidence of that team after that just went through the roof, you know, and so to then come back and go back in that place that we did that and lock up like we did and play the game we did.
- [12:12]
Unknown
Yep.
- [12:13]
Levar Arrington
That made that one feel like it was the one, you know? And then going to Tennessee.
- [12:20]
Unknown
Yeah, that was. And that's the one to get. You know what I mean? It's like you looking at five games, you like, damn, dude, that Boston game, if we can be two, and, oh, going into Boston, woo. We got a chance, right? And the way y'all came out, the way y'all came out, it was like, y'all just been focused, man. Y'all just been so focused. You know what I mean? Like, the Boston game was great. There was a moment where, you know, Kerr and Steph kind of Got into.
- [12:49]
Levar Arrington
It, you know what I mean?
- [12:51]
Unknown
Like, we starting to see, you know, kind of like the nostalgia of. I wouldn't say I didn't care in the past, but it was like, it was so much other shit that now, like, the intensity is on the game. Talk about, like, that moment with Steph and Kerr and, like, how, you know, when shit like that happened, like, how do you guys, or for the fans, like, talk about reacting, you know, the reaction to that?
- [13:21]
Levar Arrington
So for us, I. I always, you know, like, I. I pay attention to all that stuff. And so for us, when I saw it, I just go to Steph and reassure him like, yo, we good. Like, fuck that. Like, let's move on. Like, yeah, just to make sure his head stay in the right place, you know what I'm saying? Because people respond to things differently, you know what I'm saying? And you never know what response you're going to get. And so I immediately go to him like, man, fuck that. We good. Like, let's keep it pushing. And now again. And I always try to tell guys, when you are one of the top dogs on the team, the job goes far beyond just going out there and playing a good basketball game. As you know, there are so many more things that you have to deal with.
- [14:08]
Unknown
Yep.
- [14:09]
Levar Arrington
You know, when. When you going through this stuff. And so I'm immediately watching that, and I see it, and I'm watching Steph's reaction and how he respond to it. Because if he respond negatively, and when I say negatively, I don't mean arguing. I don't. I mean respond. Like, his play, you know what I'm saying? His demeanor, if he responds negatively, I'm already. I've already told myself, like, I need to go talk to coach and make sure coach understand the reaction. You know what I'm saying? To make sure coach understand, hey, Steph ain't respond great to you yelling at him like that. Yeah, let's just keep an eye on that. So that's already my mindset. Because, again, you have to keep an eye on all of these things. You have to know what make your guys tick and what makes. And what makes them not. You know what I'm saying? So I'm watching that like a hawk in turn. I'm then watching the post game press conferences, and Steph, like, nah, I want to be coached like everybody else. That statement lines up with the way you continue to play after, after, after you and Steve had your mom so cool. I wash my hands and I'm on to the next thing, you know, but it's those types of things that when you trying to compete at a high level, when you trying to win championships, it's those types of things you can let slide by. And you look up later on down the road and you like, man, where did I. Like, where did. Where did we go wrong? And you don't pay attention to those types of moments, you know what I'm saying? And so I pay attention to all of that little stuff. Because when you're trying to do something special, those little things add up.
- [15:51]
Unknown
It's the little things that matter.
- [15:53]
Levar Arrington
You know what I'm saying? And so that moment was huge because what it also did was. And no one has a problem with that on this team. But again, when you see Steph Curry get cussed out like that and he just like. But no real reaction. Just like, like. And then Steve come at you, you. You gotta shut the hell up for sure. You have no choice but to shut the hell up. And it sends a message to everyone. And more importantly, who else it sends a message to, which I think is even more important than sending a message to players. It sends a message to the rest of the coaches. Coach, Coach.
- [16:45]
Unknown
Yep. Get it up. Get your coaching up.
- [16:48]
Levar Arrington
Like Stack. Hey, man, I'm telling you, man, Stackhouse to this Stack.
- [16:51]
Unknown
Hey, man, y'all got Stackhouse Stouts over there. He a offensive mastermind. Hey, bro, y'all got. Y'all got some. Y'all got some dogs over there.
- [17:02]
Levar Arrington
The additions that they've made, this culture staff. Stocks, Stocks, like you said, he's an offensive mastermind. It's his offense. As you know, I live on that defensive side of the ball. And what Stack has done with his.
- [17:14]
Unknown
Defense, oh, man, it's been crazy.
- [17:16]
Levar Arrington
Hey. And what he has done with his defense, make me say that ain't Drayvon's defense. That's Stack's defense. And I'm going to be a part of Stack's defense. What he has done there, the point of emphasis, he's put on that side of the floor, the mentality that he's made us have on that side of the floor. What he come. He come every day locked in and he like, oh, we watched the field. Da, da, da. Steph said something yesterday. He's like, oh, Stack, you know, well, right there I was thinking this. So I had to do this. Stack was like, oh, tell me next time tell me that. Cause I definitely dinged your ass on them, Grace for that.
- [17:56]
Unknown
I dinged your ass.
- [17:57]
Levar Arrington
So next time make sure you just share that with Me that that's what she was thinking. And that's what happened because I for sure dinged your ass. Like, yeah, I saw it at this time on my sheet.
- [18:07]
Unknown
I love that, dude.
- [18:08]
Levar Arrington
But it's just a different accountability level. Like, man, I get them grades. We get a notification, we work on this app with our team, and we get these notification grades out. Man, as soon as I get that notification, I need to see my grade. And last night my grade was high as hell, huh?
- [18:24]
Unknown
It had to be.
- [18:25]
Levar Arrington
I think I need to go back and check the grades, but I'm almost certain it was the highest grade of any one of the.
- [18:32]
Unknown
Come on. Hey, Stack, I need to get one of these grade sheets. Add me to the list, Stack. Put me on the text notification. I need to see that. It's so great to hear. I mean, you see the results. But when you buy in to a defensive philosophy and you got a coach that's back there engineering it, and then also you got a grade like that. We live on goals, you know what I mean? Like, we live on success. We are fighting and chasing perfection every time we come on that court. And so to have that accountability, that structure, but also that trust, right? You know, like you were saying with Steph and wanting to be coach and coaches wanting to coach is really, you know, it's that trust, right? It's being able to nip all the little things that could be deterrence, right? And every time it's nipped or every time it's fixed and soft, it builds greater trust, you know what I mean? And that's, you know, that's why I like, on the defensive end. Like, you guys are gritty, you smart, you know, and you're not. You're not worried about if there is a misassignment, like, who did something, you.
- [19:57]
Levar Arrington
Know what I mean?
- [19:57]
Unknown
Like, a lot of times, like, oh, shit, damn, I'm switched out on the wrong person. Y'all don't look at it like that. Everybody takes the challenge. Everybody has support, and that's what you need, you know, to really be a winning team. Cause like, the deflections, like, y'all not tall, y'all not super athletic, you know what I mean? It's like the deflections, the, you know, the over the back calls from boxing out, right? Just all the little things that. The block shots, right? The steals, all those things measure up, right? And if those are held at high esteem, I remember it used to be deflections. Or for me, like, when I left the league in steals, my coach told me Taught me how to do it. He said, just pick the dude up, like right before half court. Soon as they get to half court, jump they ass. Cause they can't go back. So I was getting all kind of turnovers and steals. Cause as soon as somebody come across half court, first thing they do, they relax, get ready to call a play. And then I was on them, you know what I mean? And so, like, them little goals or like them little bitty things getting fixed, like, that creates that trust, you know what I mean? Talk about y'all trust. You know, when y'all out there, I.
- [21:16]
Levar Arrington
Think the trust is coming from, you know, the coaching staff is being willing to earn that trust. You know what I'm saying? They ain't walking in like, all right, we the coaches and y'all do X. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? They walking in, trying to earn that trust, like, you know what I'm saying? Stack again. I keep going back to Stack in the defense every time something start going wrong and we like, yo, we need to get out this cover Stack, like, this is what we do and this is who we are. Do this. And so when you stand on something like that, everyone else has no choice but to believe and trust in it because you standing on it so tough, you know what I'm saying? And, like, I think Stack's also doing a good job of, like, standing so tough on it initially, but now starting to be like, all right, cool. Y'all seeing this change? Well, let's change this. Let's tweak this thing, you know what I'm saying? Whereas initially he like, nah, this is what we doing, and just do it. And I actually like that mentality because what it showed is like, I believe in this. I think this is what's going to give us the best chance to win. So let's try to be great at this thing. Now we can start to make adjustments, right? You, like, 11 games into the season, you're starting to figure out building identity. You can start to adjust some things when you need to, when you see fit. But first you have to build a base. And I think, you know, the coaching staff has been willing to build that base. And in turn, when you see guys who've been through it, who know what it looks like, trusting in it and doing all of that, it creates for a different opportunity and for a different situation. And I feel like that's where we at right now.

This is Doug Gottlieb from All Ball with Doug Godley. Hey, I'm gonna talk to you about something that's really serious for a minute. Something personal right now. In our country, hate feels like it's at an all time high and we're going backwards and the hate is winning. It's out of control. So many different people, so many different groups are facing too much hate and it's just enough. We need to stop and regroup, change the momentum as a team because that's what we are. Everyone in this country is on the same team, so let's act like it. And when a team can't get together, what do they do? They call a timeout. We need to take a timeout against hate. So let's think about what we say and do and when we see hate and we see someone doing or saying those things we know are wrong or hateful, we need to call it out. Visit standuptoallhate.org, or join me in calling for the timeout against hate by following at what's up with Hate or posting the blue square emoji.

Cuff Duck. Then the Monday night night night celebration.

Before that, man, where that come from? Went back to the founding. You in a minute.
- [27:08]
Levar Arrington
You know, I don't dunk anymore, man. If I have the opportunity, I just lay the ball up. Going against two boys. Run back, man. But I knew. I don't know, man. I turned that corner. I was. I knew I had to turn that off.
- [27:22]
Unknown
The funny part is it was the perfect setup because it was against Rudy, too.
- [27:26]
Like, it was against him.
- [27:31]
He backing up, too. I knew what time it was. I was like, he about to go at him.
- [27:35]
Levar Arrington
Hey, man, he. He started throwing elbow. He kept throwing elbows at me, bro. I was chilling. I wasn't trying to cause no issues. And he kept throwing elbows at me, bro. Even the one where that. Where he flopped with, like, man, fly like, before he took off, bro. He threw this crazy up on me. I'm like, man, y'all keep letting brother elbows at me. This is crazy.
- [27:56]
Unknown
They don't know, man.

Levar Arrington
Rudy.

Rudy sneak dirty, man. Rudy sneak dirty.

Levar Arrington
It's crazy, bro. Dude just be throwing elbows. But.
- [28:08]
Unknown
I want to know. I know you gotta walk. You gotta walk us through the setup. What made you.

Like, what you saw Rudy go bear.

Levar Arrington

Unknown
I know Norton know as an ISO dude. Oh, my God. This the dude I have problems with on the island. Cause you went between the legs, you had a bop about yourself.
- [28:33]
Levar Arrington
So I'm gonna take you through the whole thing. So we go to. We go to the timeout, and Seth Cooper tells me, like, yo, you should get it and go. And like, you. You gonna have Rudy on you. And so I'm like, all right. I was like, all right. But I ain't about to say that to Steve. Like, yo, Steve, give me the ball. So I'm like, all right. Sure enough, he come from behind the bench, and he tells Steve, like, yo, you should give Draymond. Like, get a bar to Draymond. He gonna have Rudy on him. He can just set the offense. Everybody else, Jaden McDaniels, all them, they gonna be pressuring everybody. He's like, so get the ball to Draymond. He can set the offense. And so I go into. I start going to tween tween. Now what I'm initially thinking is, he dropping. I'm gonna hand this ball back to Steph. But once he started dropping and Steph started coming up, I just took the rub rub screen. That was at a great screen, and I turned that mug over, and then I hit him with the night night. And it's crazy because I really start doing the night night because I thought they called the file. Cause Jade McDaniels pushed the shit out of me. So I thought they called it and one, but I couldn't hear it. So I started doing the night night. And then I realized we needed to run back, and it's crazy. KD text me last night. The first text I saw was K saying, yo, you a fool for running down the court full speed during night night. I didn't know till I watched, bro. I had blacked out. I didn't know till I watched the video all the way down court.
- [30:13]
Unknown
It was hilarious, man. They got this man going crazy.
- [30:19]
Somebody down the court, somebody sleepwalking.
- [30:27]
Levar Arrington
It was a big step down the court, man.
- [30:29]
Unknown
That was hilarious.
- [30:32]
Levar Arrington
It was like a night night mixed with a Shaq. Come back down the court. I appreciate. I appreciate the big fella and stuff for letting me do a rendition of what they do, man. I appreciate it.
- [30:46]
Unknown
Norm, can you imagine, you know what I mean, going to school now with Nil crazy.
- [30:52]
Like, it's funny because, you know, I talk to the. I say young dudes now. Cause I'm on year 10. It's crazy. Talking to Kobe and Jordan and Trenton and Cam. The young guys we got on the team, you know, they already got designer on and everything. I'm like, man, Y'all don't even understand the struggle that I went through, man. Like, my first, my first right for me, like, when I got to the league, I thought I was going to be living, you know what I mean? And, like, my first check was less than what I got in college. And what I got in College was $5,000, you know what I'm saying, for Pell Grant. And I'm like, man, y'all sitting right here with a hellcat, man. Y'all got Prada shoes on and LV bag, Goyard this, that and the other. I'm like, man, I can't even imagine what it was like if I could do that. Because when we was like, when we was in the league in college, NCAA had the dumbest rules. Like, you get, you can get bagel.
- [31:46]
But you can't get cream cheese.
- [31:47]
You know what I mean?
- [31:48]
Like.
- [31:53]
It'S an extra benefit to get cream cheese on a bagel.
- [31:55]
It's crazy. That's a fact.
- [32:04]
Levar Arrington
That's a fact. They don't understand the struggle, man. I always say when I, when I first came into the league, man, I was one day, I was one day away from taking a loan from one of my homeboys, Jerrell Worthy. He was about to look out for me. He had just got drafted in the second round to the Green Bay Packers. And you know, they get a signing bonus, they get money right away. I ain't got no money from college and I don't get paid to November 15th. And I ain't know when I was gonna like, you know, second round pick like yourself. So they ain't signed me till later in the summer. Then waiting on advance. I had no money. And, man, I, I, I had a, I had, I ain't have enough money to get a car, so I had to rent a car for interview. It's crazy, but because that, because they will let me. Because Enterprise would let me rent. And like the warriors at the time was able to take care of it because, like, just some rules of rookie, I end up with like a twenty some thousand dollars bill on Enterprise rental. I could have put that towards the car, but I couldn't afford to get a car and so I had to build. And then Jerry Jack, and Jerry Jack had a lease, a lease. Range Rover, 2010 Range Rover. And he had like 9,000 miles on it. So he was about to turn his lease back in. Jack let me take over the lease. It was only like $37,000 left to pay on the truck or $47,000 left on a credible supercharged 2010 Range Rover. I'm like, man, Jack, I'll take that over. And I didn't have enough money to put on a down payment to get a car. So that's how I got my first car in the NBA. Like, it was rough, man. I. I, like, for a while, I had no furniture. Then I got the advance, I was able to get some furniture.
- [33:54]
Unknown
It was just like. Just like me, man. I had from pre draft to draft to when I had to go to Toronto, I had to get a rental car just like yourself. And I remember it was a Chevy Impala from Enterprise, and I had that for the whole summer, man. And I had to take out a line of credit just to be able to pay the rental fee off. And then just to some money before I be able to move and get my stuff to Toronto and everything like that, man. It was crazy. I'm like, bro, this cannot be what the league is. Like, there's no way I got drafted and I still have no money in my pocket. And then the first check, like, man, that first check, man, was less than what I got in college, man. You know, second round pick. I'm like, there's no way. But I'm getting taxed in Canada and Cali. So, like, I got nothing. Nothing. It was crazy. The only bonus I had was that in Canada, the conversion rate. So, like, we getting paid in American. And so, you know, you got money coming into a Canadian account, and that money is double at the time. You know what I'm saying? So, like, I opened up my Canadian account. I'm like, oh, man, I got money now. I can. I got. I got breathing room. But it was crazy.
- [35:12]
That's funny.
- [35:12]
Levar Arrington
They'll never understand.
- [35:13]
Unknown
I ain't got to complain now because y'all both pay. We don't.
- [35:17]
Levar Arrington
We don't. We doing well.
- [35:18]
Unknown
Doing quite well. You live to play another day. And then speaking of living to play another day, I got this picture, man, and I need you to describe how is it. Like, what is it like? Guard Wimby. You know that's my son's favorite player. Seven, six. Hey, Doug. And to see this picture of the great Draymond Green. This dude. This dude don't even look like he not even paying attention to me. It's crazy. He can't even see you.
- [36:00]
Levar Arrington
Don't see me. You know what? I. I can't say what I was going to say, but I saw this picture. I'm like, yo, the top of my head, I brought nipple. I know. Good correction. Now I Am starting to get into defensive stance because I can tell you what I'm checking out here on this picture. What I'm looking at is they are getting ready to. He's in the corner and he coming, and he get this pin down now. So I'm looking because I know the spin down is coming. So I gotta get ready to. I'm trying to see what angle is this guy gonna come set this screen at. Because if I trail him and he get a half a step, he's seven, six, it's over. Like, I can't contest the shot. So I'm trying to see what angle I can take to try to throw this screen off. And then also, I can't just ride him up over the top like you talk, because he's a little frail.
- [37:15]
Unknown
He's nice. Yeah.
- [37:16]
Levar Arrington
And so.
- [37:17]
Unknown
And he gonna.
- [37:17]
Levar Arrington
So if I ride him over the top, and I don't mean frail in a negative way. Wimby is 7, 6, 2, 32, 40.
- [37:27]
Unknown
Yeah, you can't. You can't. Like, if you push him and it's.
- [37:31]
Levar Arrington
Gonna move if you trail, right? Like, if I push him.
- [37:34]
Unknown
If you trail and you late, he ain't. He don't even need a dribble to.
- [37:38]
Levar Arrington
Get to the front of the rim, right? So I'm looking at. I'm looking, trying to figure out what angle is the screen about to come from. Because if I ride him over the top and I bump him at all, his arm gonna flail, he gonna fly.
- [37:52]
Unknown
Yeah.
- [37:52]
Levar Arrington
And they gonna call the foul. They was calling it the whole fourth quarter. So I'm looking like, all right, let me navigate this screen. But then I saw this picture, and I'm like, bro, number one bro, looking like he unbothered by me. Don't do that. Now I gotta get at you.
- [38:05]
Unknown
Super unbothered.
- [38:06]
Levar Arrington
Now I gotta get at you. Now I gotta get at you. But no, honestly, I'm like, bro, look at this. Like, the top of my head is at my.
- [38:16]
Unknown
Is that his number?
- [38:20]
Levar Arrington
It's at the bottom of the spurs logo. It's crazy. But shout out to Wimby, man, that. Man, that brother right there, he is going to be so good. He already good, but he gonna be such a problem. But like I said, shout out to Wimby. Wemby, last year, signed a. A jersey, his jersey for my son, dj. So I appreciate Wemby. I got a lot of love for him. That kid gonna be. He is going to be special.
- [38:48]
Unknown
He is something special. I mean, he. I mean, you don't. You don't see nothing. Yeah, Like, I've never seen, you know, anything. Like, Wemby handled, shot and love to play facts. You know what I mean? He has a. He has a certain joy about him, you know, that makes him fun to watch. And he wants to be in the big moment. He wants to live in a big moment. And, you know, his confidence is through.
- [39:16]
Levar Arrington
Yes, it is.
- [39:17]
Unknown
You know what I mean? Just like this picture says it all, this picture says it all. You got the great Draymond Green, intense, looking for the screen, and he like.
- [39:28]
Levar Arrington
Man, just bring the screen already.
- [39:31]
Unknown
Yeah, just bring the screen already.
- [39:35]
Levar Arrington
Give me the ball. Nah. Yeah. Hey, but I tell you what. So our. Our. Our great producer Charles also found a picture of BD versus someone who's 7 6. Sean Bradley.
- [39:52]
Unknown
Sean Bradley.
- [39:53]
Levar Arrington
So we got the picture. Did he block this shot?
- [39:57]
Unknown
No way.
- [39:58]
Levar Arrington
People out there. What. What Charles want to do is he want to say BD also played against somebody 7 6. It ain't just y'all who play against somebody 7 6. But I'm here to let you all know. And I think Wemby's 7 5. But I'm here to let you all know. It's a big difference. It's a big difference. Like the way Wemby moved the ground. He covered the love for basketball. He had the skill that Wemby has. It's a difference. So don't do that, Charles. That's bullshit.
- [40:31]
Unknown
Come on. Don't do that. He can't compare Sean Valley. You compare him in height, but definitely you can't compare him again or even defense.
- [40:40]
Levar Arrington
That was as bad as Shaq comparing. And y'all know I love Shaq. My favorite player all time. That's the big homie shout out to the og. Shaq, compare wouldn't be the Bull, man. Shaq compare wouldn't be the Bobo.
- [40:56]
Unknown
Hey, bro, Shaq stood on that. Hey, bro, Shaq was standing. Shaq was standing on that.
- [41:03]
Levar Arrington
Dude.
- [41:04]
Unknown
He had me yelling at the TV that night like, yo, come on, big fella.
- [41:08]
Levar Arrington
I'm always riding with the Diesel. I'm always riding with big Diesel.
- [41:13]
Unknown
I understand what you're trying to say. That's how you got. Hey, bro, I understand what you're trying to say. I get it. We just can't agree to everything.
- [41:28]
Levar Arrington
Talk to me. Five. You got. You got five on it today. Who your five today?
- [41:32]
Unknown
I got five. I got five on it. First and foremost, LaMelo ball 50, a 44 piece. I think he lost both games, but they team trash. Number numero Numero uno lamelo. Ball number two. Gotta rock with De'Aaron Fox. I've been just, man, just in love with his game. You know, how he just, how he play and how he finished games for them is just, I mean, De'Aaron Fox and he one of my son's favorite players. Coming in at number three, Jalen Williams.
- [42:21]
Levar Arrington
Ah, from okc.
- [42:24]
Unknown
From okc.
- [42:25]
Levar Arrington
Yes, sir.
- [42:26]
Unknown
Because I just think that the dude is the point guard on their team. Right. We know Shay is dynamic, superstar combo guard, scoring guard. But I like to give him some credit because really he's like the glue.
- [42:45]
Levar Arrington
Yeah.
- [42:46]
Unknown
And I want to see him playing more point guard for that team because he's a great playmaker.
- [42:50]
Levar Arrington
He's also the attitude for that team.
- [42:53]
Unknown
He has the great attitude for that team.
- [42:55]
Levar Arrington
He's the attitude.
- [42:56]
Unknown
He has an amazing, he has an amazing attitude for that team for sure. All right, where we at? We at number four. Number four. I am going with Jrue Holiday.
- [43:16]
Levar Arrington
Bruin love.
- [43:17]
Unknown
Gotta have a Bruin in there. But most importantly, when I watch this dude play, you know what I mean? He just, he just, he just. That's my get down. Jrue Holiday is my get down. I'mma lock you up. I'm gonna make shots on you, I'm gonna post you up, I'm gonna take you to the hall. He's just like, he's just, he's just, he's the fix. You feel what I'm saying? Like he's a fixer.
- [43:48]
Levar Arrington
Absolutely.
- [43:48]
Unknown
Like he's a point guard fixer. So that's four. And then I wanna, since we didn't do it last week, five. I gotta go with Chris Paul. Chris Paul going into, what is it? Passing 12,000 all time in his career. Come on, man. CP3 basketball. God, you know, we gotta celebrate these dudes while they still hooping, you know, to see him do it and to do it at a high level, you know, I wanna salute Chris Paul because he definitely, definitely, definitely deserve to be in the top five. Honorable mention Dame Lillard. You know, I'm starting to apologize to the Bucks and Doc Rivers. Get your mind right, Doc. Get em right, Doc. Come on. Halliburton came back for me, you know. Trey Young, the normal. Just the normal.
- [44:39]
Levar Arrington
Yes, sir. I respect it. No, definitely. Shout out to CP, man. 12,000 assists. That's a lot of dimes, man. You made a lot of people better. Made a lot of people a lot of money. A quarter of the NBA season is done and you don't want to miss the hype. Atmosphere of watching basketball games live, the sound from the court and the feel of the crowd. My first NBA game I ever attended at the palace of Auburn Hills checking out the Detroit Pistons. I'll never forget it. They were playing against the Orlando Magic. I went with the Civiltan Recreation Center. It was like a field trip and we sat way in the nosebleeds. But for me that was an incredible experience. Just seeing NBA guys live and on the court, it's like you have that dream of making it and then knowing that they were real people. It's like, oh man, wow.

This is Doug Gottley from All Ball with Doug Gottley. Hey, I'm talking about something that's really serious for a minute, something personal right now. In our country, hate feels like it's at an all time high and we're going backwards and the hate is winning. It's out of control. So many different people, so many different groups are facing too much hate and it's just enough. We need to stop and regroup, change the momentum as a team because that's what we are. Everyone in this country is on the same team, so let's act like it. And when a team can't get together, what do they do? They call a timeout. We need to take a timeout against hate. So let's think about what we say and do. And when we see hate and we see someone doing or saying those things we know are wrong or hateful, we need to call it out. Visit standuptoallhate.org or join me in calling for the timeout against hate by following OTs upwithhate or posting the Blue Square.

There has been a lot, a lot of talk about Brian, the shooting slump that he's been in as of late. He scored just 10 points against the Timberwolves, but he did have 27 and 14 against the Giants. However, the 27 and 14, he still had a rough shooting night, not hitting any threes. People have been on him not hitting threes as of late. I think the last I seen, he was.04. His last 19. And so, of course, all the Father Time conversations have started up.
- [50:57]
Unknown
Not yet.
- [50:58]
Levar Arrington
Everybody wants to know, is Father Time catching up with Bronx? The answer is yes.
- [51:04]
Unknown
Absolutely.
- [51:04]
Levar Arrington
And the reason the answer is yes is because every year we get older in this league. Like, every year you get older, there's a point where you come in this league and every year you get older, you get better because you get more experience, you're coming more into your prime, you're getting stronger. And then every. It gets to a point to where every year you get older, you have to address and adjust. And because now you're kind of over the hill of the more experience you get, the better it is for you. You're kind of over that hill now. And so is Father Time catching up to him? Absolutely, because Father Time catches up to everyone. However, what where I disagree is people are saying, oh, we just saw it. He's done now. We've been waiting on it. Now he's done. No, no, no. I disagree with that, quite frankly. What it looks like to me right now is he's a little tired. But you also have to remember, and I know all y'all have forgot because you forget things so fast. But what you have to remember is, you know, they played into the playoffs last year, they fought an uphill battle to actually make it there and get to the playoffs. And then he comes in and he does the Olympics. And that is a two month. A two month requirement.
- [52:30]
Unknown
No time off.
- [52:31]
Levar Arrington
FYI, no time off. And so what I think right now is, I think Bron has just hit a little bit of a wall right now. When you hit walls, you eventually get through the wall.
- [52:43]
Unknown
Bingo.
- [52:44]
Levar Arrington
But right now I think he's a little tired, has hit a wall. Does that mean Father Time is catching up to him the way y'all are saying it? No.
- [52:53]
Unknown
No.
- [52:55]
Levar Arrington
So still the same Brian. Obviously not the same. Of course, again, he is getting older, but the way people are trying to throw it out there, like, Father Time has caught him and it's here in our face and we're just about to watch this decline happen. No shit. But what's your thoughts, BD brother?
- [53:17]
Unknown
There is no decline. Usually when you get older, right. You do a lot what less.
- [53:25]
Levar Arrington
Absolutely.
- [53:26]
Unknown
Right. As you get older, you become a much better shooter. You usually are getting shots created for you by someone else who's young, talented, got the most talent, and used to be. You look at Ray Allen. People only remember Ray Allen from Miami, but before that, Ray Allen used to do everything, you know what I mean?
- [53:50]
Levar Arrington
Jesus, Jesus.

LeBron James, bro, is still playing the same way. He is creating the opportunities still for his teammates. Ain't nobody getting LeBron no open looks. Ain't nobody getting LeBron no easy buckets. Like, he's still creating all of the. Like he has to create all the energy and the chaos and take it on his shoulders, you know what I mean? Because there hasn't been the young dude that has come along that compliment and say, you know what, og man, fall back. Let me get this triple double. You go give me some threes and do what you gotta do. He don't have that luxury. And he's on a team with the Lakers where he's still, you know, the best all around player, 100, you know what I mean? Outside of AD, he is the most needed person because they gotta glue up around him. And so slump, yes. Tired, yes. Father time, yes. All of those things play into everybody's career every year in the season, whether you're a rookie, second year, like, everybody hits a little snag where it's just like, hey, man, it's cold, you know what I mean? It's cold in these arenas. I ain't getting the shots, you know what I mean? I ain't getting my rhythm. But you best believe when the Lakers play again, he gonna get over that slump. I'm not even worried about it, you know what I mean? So, you know, I remember playing against Mike bro when he played for the Wizards and you know, he came into Charlotte and it was like, that was the craziest shit I'd ever seen. There was no camera phones, but it was all kind of camera FL and felt like everybody was recording with a camera phone. That's how many cameras was flashing when he went to the free throw line. And I was sitting there like, damn, man. You know, I had 32 that night. And in my mind I was like, damn, bro, I'm Michael Jordan tonight. You know what I mean? I am your captain now. And I was just looking at him like, yeah, okay, just, you know, Sizing him up. Like, man, you brought all this attention for me. I'm out here. I'm Michael Jordan. You feel me?

Man. All right, first of all, first of all, I want to echo what you said. You feel what I'm saying, Flash, hall of Famer, Olympian, you know what I mean? NBA champ, you know, to have your jersey tired to be immortalized in the statue, you know, incredible. You know what I mean? Probably emotional day, all the people out there and shout out to the Miami Heat organization because they just always do it right until. Until they picked a person to design the statue, bro. Well, I got some jokes because I felt she was going to ask me this. I said, why did they give Dwayne A. Teemu statue. When he. Yeah, when he said, who is that? I was like, man, who is that? You know, hey, bro, who is that?

Levar Arrington
Yo. So check this out. Check this out. I saw pictures of D. Wade viewing the statue face. It's actually. I think it was on Rachel Nichols page, if I'm not mistaken, of D. Wade viewing the statue. And I must say, the mockup of his face looks absolutely nothing like the statue turned up. So everybody's like, oh, D. Wade saw. At first, like, he saw. He approved. But the mockup of his face before the turnout, it looked like D. Wade. Afterwards, it looked like Tim Thomas.
- [63:56]
Unknown
Hey, bro.
- [63:59]
Levar Arrington
I don't quite understand how it ended up that way, but my thing is, don't they show the statue to maybe someone like Riley when it's complete before they just unveil it? And everybody like, oh, yo, who is that guy?
- [64:19]
Unknown
Damn, dude.
- [64:21]
Levar Arrington
I just. And then. And then another one is. Then the guy who made the statue comes out today with a statement saying, it is not for all humans to understand. It's not for all human activity or something of that nature. And I'm just like, yo, you can't come out and defend that.
- [64:42]
Unknown
Chill, homie. You know what?

Levar Arrington
One person that came out and agree with your statue.
- [64:48]
Unknown
You can't do that. You got. Come on, dog. You got. This is what I think. I think they were like, yo, D. Wade, we need you to pose for this statue. And you know how busy he is. He like, man, I ain't got all day. And this shit was taken all day. So he called his cousin and said, hey, man.
- [65:08]
Levar Arrington
So you think it's not D. Wade?
- [65:11]
Unknown
It could be his cousin. He was like, man, I'm tired of this shit. Hey, cousin, stand in for me. And the artist didn't know if it was D. Wade or the cousin.
