Bennedict Mathurin wants a rivalry with Jaden Ivey?

Bennedict Mathurin wants a rivalry with Jaden Ivey?

We have Allstar Weekend obviously um this has probably been the most boring all-star weekend I’ve ever seen in the last like five years yeah I can’t blame you but we actually saw some smoke with Benedict Maan and Jaden Ivy and this is a beef that I think I don’t know a lot

Of fans if they’ve been following this beef it it’s a beef that started during you know the draft process M where Benedict Maan wanted to be the fifth overall pick obviously he wasn’t he went sixth to Indiana yeah we all know Jade Ivy landed in Detroit with the fifth overall pick but

My question to you is are you here for this Jaden Ivy Benedict Maan Detroit Pistons vers Indiana basers beef uh 100% I am a beef enjoyer pause I yo um I think I think a little competition’s always good I think that especially because you have two guys who

Were drafted one was drafted five correct me if I’m wrong mat went six right to Indiana yeah um so I I love having the little competition there especially because they’re both in the same division let’s get that Pacers Pistons rivalry off the ground a little bit I just love rivalries in general for

The game I think they’re great um Indiana and Milwaukee earlier this season I thought that was great for the game um just in general like you don’t get I feel like we don’t get enough beef in um in basketball which I guess we’ll get to later uh we don’t get enough beef

In the NBA um to my liking because I feel like in sports people are tribalist by Nature like guys want to get behind a team and then also hate one other you know what I mean like teams need someone to root against and if you have something there

Where it’s like this guy doesn’t like this guy or this team doesn’t like this team it not only keeps the games exciting um not to say the game itself isn’t exciting but you know it keeps it keeps things exciting and it also just kind of gives fans a little bit to hold

On to for a little bit a little banter back and forth which I always think is positive unless it gets like super toxic which there are cases like that but even something like you know you look at like college sports in general like like an Ohio State Michigan it gets really

Serious and people do not play like you can’t go in Ohio without with a Michigan license plate without getting at least a couple comments right so I feel like things like that sure they they can get toxic but I think overall just just beef in general in sports I think it’s a good

Thing I think it grows the game and it keeps people passionate I think the funniest part of the the talking that mat was doing like jadeen Ivy didn’t even hear him yeah and he like looked at him he’s like what’ you say he’s like you can’t even guard me in an

All-Star game and I I kind of find it Rising Stars game I shouldn’t say All Star someone’s gonna get mad that I said that um a Rising Stars game I find it funny because neither of them could guard each other they were both giving each other buckets just kind of seems

Like Matan still has that chip on his shoulder he he wanted to be a piston so bad which hey like I’m happy for but at the same time it’s just like I’m pretty happy with Jad I being with that fifth pick yeah the I mean Pistons fans seem

To have kind of it’s weird I didn’t see the well here’s my thing I actually saw this coming a little bit last year I didn’t think it would happen this year where fans kind of seem to have riled around Jad and Ivy a little bit as like

Oh this is our guy and I haven’t seen as much Kade hype lately and that’s its own that’s its own discussion that um it’s a yeah that’s its own thing but I um I think Pistons fans are really happy with the ivy pick Pacers fans are really

Happy with the mathine pick so it’s it’s just overall good fun I don’t think there’s anything too crazy to it no I I I love it I kind of want you know the Pistons Pacers rivalry to kind of rekindle a little bit because growing up as a kid like watching Ben Wallace and

Rander test and Jermaine O’Neal just like go at it like this I’m a sick all like I love like as a kid like I love the defense and I love the defensive battles like I was I was there for like the 6769 scores like I don’t want I

Don’t want to see the 140 145 yeah I mean I personally grew up in a in the in the buckets era I think that’s what we’re going to call this where you guys like Curry and I I’ve seen defense get play less and less but I am definitely a fan of Defense it’s

Just in a Rising Stars game especially you’re not going to see that much defense getting play or allar game which is uh now is it now I I think so it kind of shows you um my give a level at this allstar game it’s been it’s like a

Water down just a YMCA like game at this point but yeah it’s really just pickup Hoops there’s there’s nothing to it like honestly like I’m like I just don’t care like my my interest level is very low yeah um especially with the dunk contest last night that that’s a whole another

Like I don’t even know like Kenny Smith’s a hater that’s all I’ll say yeah I’ll leave it at that Lord man yeah all he he’s definitely got the hating Uncle Vibe 100% he
