in the locker room and then we went home you home is crazy real we hey you messing up my haircut you know got film in a minute but listen we we went to um ticket house and everybody kicked it he ping the fifth like a m right now no for sure we we y didn’t just kick it y’all didn’t just sit at the sit on the couch like y’all y’all were having a good time John rotation you know what’s going on what’s understood really don’t need no explanation that’s what I’m saying yeah he put in the field I respect it you know but uh I I I can’t say what what Ray Allen how he did a big you know he uh you know chared the jet the big jet of course he did you know the one with the two beds in it you know the uh two uh dining room tables in there was you was you invited yeah first one I had the first seat on that thing where’ y’all go you went to Vegas I to see that makes sense cuz you know this this with the Vegas we turned up in Vegas you know and got the love from all the clubs and everybody you know showing us love getting free food you know cuz this Cel team going to Miami they going to Miami this team said they going to Miami ta really they said bringing them in they going to host them all around the city they said we’ll see y’all Friday we going to Miami for a couple days we’ll double back on Friday they going to get comped everything they going to show so much love they going to recognize the Champs out in the build did did ticket practice that speech in the locker room like Jason Ted practices in the mirror oh my God no ticket them was off the top hey by the way everything ticket deal was just that was that was on the top can we go ahead and hey he said we did it can we go ahead and admit it took a little while to come back around but I was right yeah um I was right yeah Jason Tatum’s corny I’m might have to vouch for him and then he did the club thing last night everybody always wanted know what would happen if we didn’t win I guess he’ll never know did the Kanye West I’m like okay I got I got a v now I’m Manny won he also did the he Al no but he also did the picture too trying to recreate kind like the K picture too this dude has spent the last 16 hours trying to do something iconic he was watching YouTube like yo what can I do I will vouch for him though his dad cuz his dad’s from here I would vouch for him when you spend so much time bro on the internet sometimes you end up like just talking like the internet I think he spends a lot of time on the internet cuz in his post game he always talks about what people said about him yeah he does so I think he pays so much attention to this to this thing that he thinks when I get this moment I’mma quote everything from this when really the best moment was last night for him at the end was the one when he was just like bent over after the game like that was real and his son came up and grabbed him and his son was like Daddy Daddy and he hugged his son and held him in there that was actually Au was actually authentic the only it was the only unscripted moment of the whole thing did oh I also no the other one was when he tried to act happy that Jaylen Brown won finals come onbody I know you know yeah you know it bured him up inside and the thing is and the thing is I’m mad as hell mad but but he shouldn’t be though cuz like you think about it bro Jaylen Brown had the hardest task of that series oh dude hey how much did how much did you respect him going over every screen man I mean he was defending I like the way what he said in in the mik up situation he said you know what if luga go back in that game I’m going to he also when they had a mat up earlier this was a very uh and we talked about this throughout the NBA Playoffs when and I brought it up when talking about you and uh and and Durant all those years ago how you told me the number one thing in defending Kevin Durant is not letting him get the ball and he said when they had him miked up this was the best live mic moment of him he said if he wants to bring the ball up the court then that’s how he could get the ball other than that I’m not letting him get the ball and it was like if you want to if you want to bring it up 94 feet obviously I can’t stop you from having the ball and that’s tiring you got to realize how tiring that is somebody hounding you that up the court like that oh well luk gassed out I honestly I felt like when I recorded last night I told Kevin the first time I thought the game was like I was like all right that’s a wrap because we have seen them kind of play with their food and then and then let the team back in it that has been a Hallmark of many of the games uh We’ve watched the Celtics play but they were they went through this 12-minute span where they scored like eight points the Celtics and it was like every Bunny at The Rim was just [ __ ] out and it was like but the Mavericks couldn’t score they like they had their chance they got look they got all the stops they needed to be able to make that thing a game but they couldn’t score and the Celtics defense gets all the credit for that but there was a moment it’s like 17 I think we’re probably I don’t know a little way past midpoint of the third quarter and it’s at 17 and they’ve got another stop Luca comes down you guys will remember this he comes down dribbles up on the right side takes a step back three-pointer and airballs it I saw that and you could see all of them just like yeah and they all like walked back to the other end I was like all right it’s done here it’s done here and I think what’s so great about their team man it’s like anybody you pass the ball to could create off the dribble and make a play Y and you got guys that could do that who could defend as well you get what saying there’s nobody to not respect like everybody is respectable I mean catching shoot shots driving kick shots uh attacking the basket everybody could put on the floor and then I I I don’t know and holiday flies around and does all the Dirty Work the the ultimate glue guy yes the ultimate glue guy and I just think man he he he made my boy Carrie Irving look so oh my gosh like out of the picture like he was horrendous in Boston I think he him doing a little handshake after the thing was so wild yeah krie krie krie ridens went down on 2K for sure he got a minus five for sure he got a minus five and I don’t think it has nothing to do with him but more so just the defenders in white brown and holiday well it’s also super depressing because we think of him as this offensive you know Mastermind yeah that that is and and you can’t do the well he’s young and you know me first time through been a rapper he’s 35 years old do you know I saw a clip this morning that said that Joe Missoula was in his draft class I was like what bro Joe moula what shout out to Joe moua man with was in his draft class three games this whole run yeah 16 and three last year Denver was 16 and four yeah that’s impressive and this is 16 to3 and and and one of the things that I uh told Kevin last night it’s like now you look back at all the stats and now they’re all meaningful yeah right like it’s not meaningful unless you win they were just that good they had the fifth best point differential in the history of the NBA yeah yeah they’ve been kicking ass all year long and they had they had more 20 plus Point wins than anybody since the early 70s like a early ’70s Bucks team they won three games by more than 50 so 50 it’s crazy though like just to see them do it I like I like the fact that they did it cuz a lot of people was writing like can they coexist yeah can they can they be well that’s what happens when it’s six fight they actually St six East finals and five East finals for Tatum and two NBA Finals now in Ness they gutted the rest of that thing all those other guys are new you know what I mean it’s like it it’s very reminiscent of the Paul Pierce thing Paul was still around the rest of that stuff was new right like the rest of the stuff and so they figured out what are we doing with the other three positions and so it’s not Marcus Smart and it’s not Robert Williams and it’s not Malcolm Brogden and it’s not Grant Williams like you think about who they lost to Miami with last year and you’re talking about of their top seven guys outside Horford Brown and Tatum are the only ones that remain yeah and then they just fix the pieces around them and obviously it’s holiday porzingis Derek white Dereck white was there last year and then you know I mean their benches Houser was the one that was really good for him and prit was amazing at half court shots the king of half court shots by the way for the culture would you rather have Steph Curry or pain Brier taking a half court shot for you come on bro I mean we’ve seen Curry we saw Curry do that a Cal down bro he did no but he’s done Curry bring this man cold Off the Bench to do it he went y that was a highlight of the hece cuz he made them not even a bank a swi he shot better from half court shots than he did from the field in this shout out to Xavier tman he called our boy jiren last night he got a mar ring I love it I love it yeah that was cool Andy contributed yeah cuz they needed him badly especially when went out that last game oh man he showed it what a true professional is he was ready he didn’t pout he came in knocked down some timely baskets it’s very uh for your team professional true Prof very Leon po big babyish right like boy look at that boy look at that boy seal deliver it’s sure yeah he he 45 as hell huh yeah that’s on his playlist for sure the funniest thing ever is when people that had no previous awareness of Xavier Tillman look up his age and are shocked every time yeah when I say think the guy’s 35 he every bit of 26 I think he’s a vet but he really you know mean he just been through it bro you got you know what happens when you have kids early yeah Shout Out Boy guys’s got a whole guy had a whole family coming into the league his rookie year he had a whole family at the games living out near cracker bar on Canada Road with the whole family in a field in his backyard not the same way that most guys come into the NBA so what you think what you think’s next vum since he didn’t get the finals MP do we get the max contract 3 years 315 315 which for whatever reason they were talking about that before no that’s a that’s the number five the extension is 5 years 315 million it’s the largest contract in NBA history 35 it’s going to be what the largest contract in NBA history so you’re going tople Jaylen Browns so what Jaylen Brown got he’s got 300 yeah it’s a lot of money or 290 what was I don’t know it’s a lot I thought he got like 360 or something J Brown got 286 286 yeah so D is going to be 5 years 315 million why they were already talking about that before the game even started cuz he didn’t get that he didn’t get that mvp well they didn’t know this before the game they were talking about it about before the game they just got to keep on finding good things to say about I mean look he shot less than 40% from the field and less than 30% from three for the series yeah and they won in five games he shot what under 40% from the field and under 30% from three yeah he was not very and they won easily in five games so to the point where we talk unbelievable when we talked about the Minnesota series with Dallas where sometimes it is simple and how Luca and Kyrie all but one game out scored Anthony Edwards and Carl Anthony towns Y in this series game five was the only game Tatum and brown outscored LCA and Kyrie but it didn’t matter because the rest of their team is freaking awesome you know he won a major Champion that’s I mean okay that uh everybody else bad the GMS didn’t do they doe diligence in making they team they also are going through it for the first time you know this team you got to take a step back on the Dallas front and say they were thrown together as currently constructed really from the trade deadline that is not a lot of time you haven’t been through a lot of situations together you haven’t been through a lot of moments together they played less than half a season and they made the final a group as a five seed that’s that’s pretty damn good that’s not bad that’s not bad your boy TM did you rolling your eyes for he won the ultimate award last night did you bro if we cry what the baby going to do oh stop come on man they got they ass spanked man did you see what your boy we talk about t you see the ultimate award he won last night you see it what ultimate for the first time in public people saw L ma pregnant you ly they saw he W he won the altimate a war man he L is pregnant man Tatum I don’t care what they say about you bro you won he

Tatum jersey and look she go look there she go oh yeah yeah he he won oh yeah he won that why he’s shooting under 4 that boy ain’t got no legs that boy Ain got no legs that boy yeah do you know he do you know what somebody told Bill Simmons like I guess involved with the c or whatever that would know that would know like personal things or whatever they say you know how like doctors do that like you know they do all the test on kids and then they’ll tell you like do predictions or whatever that they predicted that douche Tatum was going to be like 72 what he told me that what that was like what 72 like the doctors like when they do their thing and they say how tall is a kid going to be or whatever 8 years old now they said he’s going to be like 72 no that’s what I’m saying I thought he was eight so you might be right he’s he’s six he’s six he’s six for sure I thought was eight boy big bro going to be 72 I’ll be working on this C his M 5’8 I don’t know it’s cuz his his dad and

legitimate mphin bro like he went to high school just you just founding out like went to high school here like his L I know that like when you said so I knew Tatum from St Louis yeah that probably where they moved to they migrated out there yeah but his dad like went to like a local like somebody told me Mero or something like that he went to high school well you know all of those uh all those videos go around and those pictures go around constantly of Tatum and Matthew kachuck Matthew kachuck is Captain and amazing player for the uh for the Florida Panthers who were about to win a Stanley Cup and that they they were buddies at shamad in St Louis they were literally in the same high school class and one of them is the captain of the NBA champion and one of them is the captain of the NHL it’s pretty crazy that’s wild cuz that’s not a big school either that’s a small private school in in St Louis you got two stars they had Superstars they had Jason Tatum and Matthew kachuck in the same class there’s like videos of them together in like you know sixth grade or whatever yeah cuz Matthew’s dad Keith kachuck was a a fantastic player for the for the St Louis Blues so that’s why he was in

Western Conference playoffs and getting swept up in this Dallas thing and Luca thing and the level of competition uh did not give us the greatest gauge of what Boston truly was and yet there was Las Vegas telling you that the most the most uh what’s a predicted outcome or certainly the lowest price you could get was Celtics and five that’s what they’re telling you yeah mhm was is going to happen and so there it was it was number five and I told you that like we look at the stats and then they all they all come in full view it’s like now you have to respect that team as one of the greatest teams ever you just do yeah when you go eight- one in the Conference Finals and the finals and you go 16-3 in the playoffs and your point differential was the fifth best of any team ever through 82 games and and you know we’re going to look back and I I do think history is going to look at that team to be even stronger than maybe we think of it in its current iteration and that’s and I think part of it is just the the losing it’s like we’ve we got so used to them when you go to six Eastern Conference Finals and you’re Jaylen Brown and you go to Five Eastern Conference Finals and you’re Jason Tatum and you feel like a and some of those certainly some of them not all of them but some of them IE Miami even last year it’s like they they didn’t lose to better teams than them you felt like they didn’t you didn’t feel like that Miami team was better than them I didn’t no right and yet you got to give big credit to uh Brad Stevens because that is you know it’s not the same skill set to be a coach and to be a general manager and yet they they swapped out that team that was that lost in a game seven of the Eastern Conference Finals that’s bold man yeah now I don’t know if you guys heard what I mentioned when I was on with Kelsey earlier Devon you’re going to be blown away by this one so Kevin said I I was talking about how that porzingis deal was going to fall through because Malcolm Brogden failed the physical and that Marcus Smart wouldn’t be in Memphis except for the fact that that deal fell through and brogon failed his physical did you hear me talking about about this yes I Kevin said I was listening Kevin said my bad I was working that someone told him from the Boston side and this does make all the sense in the world he said Marcus Smart was going to be in Memphis anyway and I was like what and he said they had a deal set up where it was going to be tus Jones and picks for Marcus Smart so that was already going to happen yeah and that makes all the sense in the world because that why that all happen so fast right so when the Brogden thing falls apart now they can just make the smart tus thing work but now tus is rooted towards Washington rather than rooted towards Boston but you think about this as a massive sliding doors moment if they get tius they cannot get Drew yeah they had the space open for holiday because of that taking place yeah and then they were able to attain Drew holiday after the Lillard thing takes place damn it’s crazy to think about that’s crazy and it also makes sense as to cuz nobody ever really made sense of the whole like how did that happen so fast right and and and and the G like we had no idea he was even going to be available and then but then when we heard he was going to be to be in that makes sense that the framework was in place but that was going to be the deal it was going to be tus and pix for smart yeah and wow cuz and it also stands to reason that tus would have been perfect for that they need they need a floor General but they would not have won a title without Drew I love my dog I love my dog ties but yeah as soon as they sent because it’s it’s great as soon as the Lillard trade happened to Milwaukee and holiday got to Portland I mean it was not long after that it was like okay well we know Drew holid is not staying in Portland and Boston seems perfect cuz it was not that long after where Boston traded for him either like it happened pretty fast too but also let you know that they really had their eye on Marcus Smart they were trying to attain Marcus Smart anyway yeah that wasn’t just the oh wow Marcus Smart became available yeah it was he was already kind of on he was already in the work and it had been reported that the Grizzlies had talked to him they had talked to Boston before about him they they had coveted marus smart for four I know right he had he had to sit in Washington all season I I talked to him on the he had to go to he had to go to the wizard bro when I talked to him when I talked to him when they played here my boy was in shambles he was I was likeo you you you hold I’m good he was like I’m making it they didn’t even run plays he’s like I’m making it they didn’t run plays they didn’t do I’ve seen more conas cohesive Lifetime Fitness teams for real than the wizards they were a disgrace yeah I hope he ends up on it was worse than the Pistons it was I hope he ends up on a better te this I I I I turned we have a guy here that worked with the Wizards too you know who was like you know I think relatively excited about koua Bal and so I was like you know what and I sure as hell I never watched this team on TV so I was excited to see him and I’m like they’re going to I like I don’t know if this guy can end up being a player or not but I promise you under these circumstances this is the worst possible scenario is to be having to be out there with freaking Kyle kosman and Jordan p and all these guys and nobody cares except for anything about the stat sheet it’s like this is the worst Poss possible way to develop a player Daniel gford got out of there he was probably happy as hell oh my God yeah who else got traded out Kyle kman that’s a perfect enir from him he loved that he love being able to make do empty empty stats dude he turned down them trading him to Dallas yeah see you think about that another sliding doors moment right yeah he went to their ownership and said please don’t I want to be a part of this what be a part of what part of what said your boy they said your boy growing though bellal Kabal he’s grown like two inches since he since the off season you know sure be the next breakout star among that rookie class very well may be or his knees are going to hurt one or the other one or the other your boy I mean you know you start growing man like it’s you never know speaking of the smart thing though you you saw the you you mentioned this two weeks before before anybody else mentioned it that the best thing for the Grizzlies is that people are finally like doing the the thing they did a couple years ago did you see the the ranking no the two early rankings that came out last night right after the finals where do you think the Grizzlies are where do they think where do you think they put the Grizzlies at I tell you what Jessica asked me this this morning is this out of 32 Out 3 I saw last night 30 teams 30 team I said I I get the NFL my guess was I said they’re probably going to be 10 or 11 okay what do you think cuz I saw this last night and I was like H this is right this is just what virgin said baby all right so here we go they will be behind Boston they will be behind the Knicks they will be behind the Sixers they will be behind Cleveland on these rankings they will be behind Indiana they will be behind Milwaukee so that gets me an 11 M no no no that gets me at 10 right I think 10 that’s 10 you 10 okay they will be behind Miami they will be behind Orlando Denver Minnesota Oklahoma City that’s 14 the Clippers the Lakers the Suns the Kings the MS all right so I’m going to say they’re not behind all of those so I’m going to say I’m going to say they have them at like 18 you’re you are closed they’re at 19 and 11th in the west yeah that’s perfect that’s what we want to be and they when they were fully healthy they finished second twice that’s that’s back to back two seeds so that’s what that’s exactly when I saw that last night I said this exactly was way ahead of theame this exactly what Vernon said is exact everybody everybody sits there and complains every time like when when and this was my reaction when that list of the the best players under 25 came out I said no do not get mad at this yeah this is what I was so wildly uncomfortable with everybody picking them and the and the weight of expectation and it is so much better when everybody has forgotten about you it is so much better when you don’t get the credit that you deserve it is so much better trust me trust me we’ve we’ve had it both ways it is so much better to prove people wrong because then you become likable again they went from everybody’s favorite to the team everybody wanted to see lose because they hadn’t accomplished enough yet and they were talking out their ass and it got you know you know they’re poking the bear and they’re saying I’m fine in the west and I I got I didn’t like any of that I didn’t like any I didn’t I was uncomfortable always I was always uncomfortable with that being the thing I would rather be you are an unrewarded team you are somebody that gets ranked too low you are somebody that you know this is what I always loved about nobody thought anything about Tony Allen nobody thought anything about Mike connley no one thought about anything with Mark Gasol and Zebo every year he was here he was never in the top five power forward ever yeah and then you’d want to line them up when it came playoff time line up Blake Griffin you’re all NBA first team number one guy line up Tim Duncan lineup dirt nich whoever right we’ve got our guy the guy that you don’t think is better and I like it that way I like the fact that John Morant won’t be ranked in the top 10 players in the NBA he won’t yeah MH in fact whenever they come out with their list like the best players in the NBA I think he will be probably between like 15 and 20 that’s where I would predict it we know very well yeah and even when he played the 11 games this year the greatest player what were his St he won he won Wester goty he played one week and he won the player of the week yeah let me see let me I got and hit a game winner I got you so I got for the month of uh December he averaged 25 points eight assists five rebounds for the month of January before he got hurt 25 points nine assists seven rebounds so do those numbers right yeah he was 25 five Point 25 5 and a half eight assists 47 43 from three his season ended prematurely because of the suspension or because of suspension the year before yeah he would have been First Team all NBA easily look at his numbers the year he got suspended they’re freakish truly freakish 20 the 22 season I mean it was yeah 26 a game eight assists 26 eight and six right yeah shooting 47% from the field 20 I mean come on and it was the second seat on the two seat yeah that’s yeah people forgetting about that number 12 dude bro but it’s so much better I love it y’all keep y’all keep forgetting about that number 12 dude number 22 and 13 y’all keep going everybody always gets mad about that they’re like hey your boy go tell go tell these people what are these people thinking and it’s like no dude this is so much better please it’s so much better set the alarm make sure youall set the alarm Club being ranked 19th and being ranked as a non-playoff team is the best thing that could possibly happen to that we have the same title odds as the Pelicans and the Pacers next year yeah we they said the least they can what the AR say the least they can do would be a playing Team MH yeah come on I love it I love it all no that’s so much trust me saw way better life I smil when I saw it last night when I read the article I actually like I was like this is great yeah I mean and and I get it everybody always wants to be ranked higher I am always of the the opposite opinion I want them ranked low I want them not being considered to be one of the best teams in the league and so it makes it so much better if they are yeah and they were obviously able to accomplish that and that was the Hallmark of those Grizzlies teams for so many years it was like their win total in Vegas was wrong every year every year it was wrong they were better than what people thought they were and that’s a way better way to live um you know obviously the NBA season concluded completely last night with the finals ending look the finals sucked truly yeah it was not and the NBA Playoffs sucked this year yeah and it’s wasn’t because like our team wasn’t involved but I just think about all how much I loved the NBA Playoffs all of those years of covering them the last three years here and then obviously we had those seven in a row and I think about all those moments and I think about all of those memories from all that stuff and I and I watched obviously I watched basketball every night for the last whatever amount of months it is and certainly intensely on these playoff games because I got to do two podcasts a week where I’m talking about all the games that aren’t involving the Grizzlies and even when I was doing that show with Kelsey this morning and I was asking them like what do you remember from these playoffs it’s like I mean if we’re trying to come up with a list I remember the Murray game winner against the Lakers M Murray had two those were moments the first round was the best uh Philly New York Philly New York Philly New York was that’s number one for me that series was number one yes and and especially that whole commotion down on the Baseline and then throwing it back out at D venzo hitting that three and like I mean those were that and then Minnesota Denver was wildly intoxicating but the games weren’t good gam not the I think the first thing that comes to mind is like the the image of the passing of the torch of AD and KD not ad AE and KD when like AE was busting him up and he was like kind of laughing at the KD and like for me I saw that image as like a passing of the torch in the NBA but I guess for me I was thinking of it that deep too deep but yeah that was probably my number one but not even a good series not even a good series it was a sweet Sixers Knicks is by number one thing from this playoffs for me right yeah Sixers and the first round like Mavs MAV Thunder wasn’t all that you said invol the garden Crow Max Thunder was pretty good yeah it yeah it was it was the the beginning ma Thunder was pretty good yeah just nobody really cared about it it wasn’t like and obviously look Cleveland Orlando went to seven games but as I mentioned two weeks ago on the Pod Animal Planet yeah but nobody cared yeah nobody car about but Dam as you as you think about it bro there really wasn’t even in the finals there wasn’t like a memorable memorable moment well all the Boston series were terrible like on the DVD like what is going to be on the DVD is like all the old stuff like like we came from the bottom well I guess well they don’t make DVDs anymore so my bad they the high quality video stream it stream it direct cuz you see that you remember that you see that tweet that went around apparently at the beginning of the year they had the last dance people folling around all season who Boston yeah the Celtics yeah they did they had the the camera people follow them around all the season oh that’s good so they’ll have like a they’ll have a documentary ready that’s it’s one way to make it interesting yeah what was rather uninteresting over under how many quotes Jason Tatum bites from from from other famous people I text you guys as soon as he said we did it I said oh my God it’s crazy cuz like nobody like like I told you nobody hugged him like nobody like like yeah it was like he said it and just like everybody looked around it it Wasing recreate the Kevin Garnett it was it was very crzy he tried he tried really hard it’s almost like it really is like he had thought about it just I always say stick with me he comes back around you guys all had your little you know uh wiener party where you guys are saying that I little party where you’re like oh the mayor son has a DAT of Jersey you’re wrong you’re wrong Jason Tatum’s cool and then you saw that last night you’re like oh my God Chris was right again yeah this guy is wild I’m try I’m trying to it’s taken away from Jaylen Brown being like I share this with my partner in crime Jason Tatum we share that is live on he cursed like several times on ESPN last night they had to blank to bleep I try to like give him the benefit of the doubt man it was cool I tried to cuz he like he like old school cool bro who like he like like your uncle but he like 26 years old Jason T oh Brown no Tatum he likes like like he’s like Teddy Pendergrass like but tat like 26 years old offensive at the party Teddy ruin he like old he like the he like the like the with the slacks on very old school like no he’s Drake bro Teddy yeah he’s Teddy grah we did it he’s Drake he is he’s Drake it’s all did in a microphone that was crazy yeah yeah like no no Jaylen Brown’s like the uncle who’s like going to sit there at the cookout probably makes he probably say have you seen the video of after after the game where douche tat going my my my my man my my my my man come on bro come on bro get

Jaylen harelson that’s not the uh who was the harelson kid Woody Harrelson’s kid no the kid that Josh harelson yeah the kid that wor George yeah it’s not the same one is it surely not you wouldn’t think so well that white guy snuck in the photo Brandon McCoy Jr is that gelani McCoy’s kid probably all the old players bro now have like sons who is co Pete I like that name oh I told somebody the

down the street too yeah so yeah bro y it’s a WAP uh Jaylen harelson not related Jos har thanks rks wow we can’t believe it’s not ge’s kid not the same what’s wrong with you bro you remember that role player that played for Kentucky back in the day maybe it’s his son by the way there’s a bra go get go drink a brew okay that was wild go drink a brew cuz I was wondering why he didn’t put me in there then I realized when he said go drink a go drink a brew I’ve never said that in my life said that either you want a brew what white people say go drink or Brew what section of white the people outside the guy they thought was Jaylen Brown last night in Boston those guys for sure they like bruise they wear khaki shorts and jerseys with no sleeves guys they say Brew no socks with the tennis shoes CRA they say Brew shout out to the Brew yeah but uh look we end up putting a bow on it and it’s it’s a shame because I do love the NBA and I love the games and we just you know all the way to the very end I think the what was common place is we just didn’t get competition that’s why you don’t remember things yeah the reason we don’t remember it is because what we remember is like that like we’re having to go look what were the two things that you said the freaking nuggets and Jamal Murray hitting those shots and the Sixers Knicks the most two most compe because that’s the only thing that comes to mind when we think about competition and even the ones that went long even the series that went long like Minnesota Denver like Cleveland and Orlando the games weren’t good individually no and I don’t know if it’s just because of the way the game is played right now I really don’t know I don’t know if it’s because like the you know insane amount of three-pointers that are taken and made and that the way the game’s played right now you’re given more to these extreme fluctuations yeah you hit a bunch of Threes you can blow someone out EAS yeah if you make a bunch of Threes you can blow someone out if you don’t make a bunch of Threes you get blown out right and it’s like gez man like we just watched the team their best player shot under 40% from the field and 30% from three while taking a lot of shots yeah and it didn’t matter yeah they still boned Dallas yeah it’s crazy it is wild even like the Pacer series with with New York it kind of got like Mar because of the injuries yeah it was comptitive until like the injuries on the backside kind of messed it up the game seven Brunson Brunson went anobi went down in the series and Brunson goes down in the game seven like and doesn’t really play the second half and it’s just yeah I’m looking at the bracket I’m like there I mean like look the Golden State series that we had was great oh yeah but I mean even you think about the other ones the the Minnesota one was destroyed by the refs yeah the whole time it was it was brutal it it was destroyed by the refs yeah the Lakers series I mean had blowouts we got blowout it was but it wasn’t competitive game one was the comp game one and game four were the two competitive games cuz we beat them pretty handily in game two and then LeBron had the drive on game three they killed us game five we killed them game six they killed us games one and game four were the two like that somebody brought the LCA over Rudy shot we’ll remember that one that’s a good one the shot the Luca shot over Rudy go be on the on the mismatch that’s fair that’s a good one that’s a good memory forf oh yeah and it was a game winner you can’t gu yeah we remember that one remember that one that’s a good good good one I did see something crazy that um let me see if I’ve got this uh it was on the on the Luca front it was okay so I saw it was a 20124 NBA playoff leaders points Luca donic rebounds LCA donic assists Luca donic steals Luca donic blocks Daniel Gafford deflections LCA donic three-pointers made LCA donic double doubles LCA donic triple doubles LCA donic yeah that’s crazy yeah he ain’t the reason they literally the only thing in the now look he played more games yes than his peers but still he let in everything that’s wild bro it’s like the LeBron Year bro LeBron let in everything he let in everything what year was that when Braun let everything and they got their ass whooped uh that was the delova year the delova right and it was it was Iguodala won Finals MVP but it was thought that like he LeBron there was talk LeBron could have been the second person to win Finals MVP with his team losing because Jerry West is the only one who’s done it Tatum became the sixth player since 1980 to win the championship while leading his team in points rebounds and assists in the playoffs and he didn’t win Eastern Conference or Finals MVP yeah the other wins to do it or it is funny that I always talk about being 27 yeah and Jaylen Brown’s 27 yep the guy that won finals MVPs the other ones to do it are Larry Bird did it Tim Duncan did it joic LeBron and Elijah Juan all did it yeah they say he had the his PR wasn’t the highest but like you said the Celtics really like they they Team bro it did as a team it won just like one person or two people or three people game won the best the game won the most important player was porzingis game two the most important player was Drew holiday game three probably Jay Brown mhm I would I would say that’s the thing game four none of them none of them and then game five probably say drew holiday no game five was Tatum t t was people like should he win the finals MVP for this like no but it is funny that they were up by a thousand when Tatum was St pad you you you could say he was trying to get his numbers boy you could tell in his head he was like I’m about to get these I don’t know if he would have won Finals MVP even if Jaylen didn’t I think holiday might have gotten it poor zingis would have been up there if he would have played is they could have announced three names and I would have been okay cool whatever yeah been fine all right cool yeah like you said you could make a argument that whole holiday felt it felt like holiday made every winning winning well that was the thing with Jaylen wanted to credit him for his defense CU if he was on Luka he didn’t score and if he was on Kyrie they didn’t score that was the thing with Boston during the playoffs and then the the jayen brown and tat and and uh and holiday thing is it felt like every close game that Boston was in when it did come down the stretch that they won it was Jaylen Brown and Drew holiday making the plays those are the ones who made the winning plays I will say for the benefit of what we talk about all the time regarding the the Memphis team sticking with a group and just letting them grow and take all their lumps together and that paying off is a good thing it’s a good thing for the sport it’s a good thing that people uh that they were able to see it through and yes it took some tinkering around the edges and that’s exactly what they’re going to have to do with this team right that like they going have to figure out what they’ve got at small forward they got to figure out what they’ve got at at at Center and they got to figure out what they’re going to do with reserves but like they’re tinkering they were tinkering around the edges with that team and bringing in different guys and eventually they found the right mix yep and then they were able to win a title out of it but like they never broke up those two guys those two and and that’s what it all revolves around and I think that if you’re the Grizz is you go this thing all revolves around J Dez and jiren yeah and those other two spots you’re figuring it out right what is the best what’s the best way to build out around those three guys but they’ve already got a lot of playoff and and you they’ve not played nearly as many games as you would think they have played together as a as a unit it’s crazy cuz like the 2016 they drafted Jaylen 2017 they drafted Tatum 2018 we drafted jiren right 2018 we drafted jiren 2019 we drafted 12 yep 2020 we drafted Dez correct so like like you said if it just like hold like if you hold true that’s right like you can really be the next well also the greatest thing that ever happened for the Grizzlies especially in this current climate was they saved about $100 million on those two guys yeahh those guys under any other circumstance both jiren Jackson Jr and they didn’t get a bargain on Bane but they did on the other two that’s crazy right there oh so I saw something uh last night Sixers and the Lakers Sixers just and the Lakers they f with the bag boy it’s crazy I saw something last night uh that said uh they traded well the 17 draft that Celtics had the first pick and they yeah but let me get this right what which one was it I think it was 17 okay so 171 which has got folz Lonzo and Tatum right yeah so the Celtics had the number one pick in the draft yeah and they traded down from the Sixers but they got Tatum and the other pick in that was Romeo lford from Indiana and Romeo Langford was in the deal to get Derek white oh wow that makes it even worse that is crazy that makes it even worse right but like Romeo lford had to be a throw in it for that deal or something cuz like he never has been good so people they give up for Derek white trade what all did they trade for Derek white let’s see first Josh Richardson Romeo Langford let me see I think it was let me click it I’m clicking the trade right now Josh Richardson Romeo lenford a 2022 first which turned into break Blake Wesley and the rights to swap a 2028 first round pick that’s Insanity they he gave up that crap for Derek white now we’ll see what the P now the 2022 first round pi turned turned into time though not that insane at the time nobody really thought about Dereck white like that back nobody really thought about him like that he also Dereck white didn’t make threes yeah he didn’t it’s also and now the guy’s Dead Eye but it’s Al but it also goes to show like dude the draft pick stuff looks good on P like it looks good oh we got that draft pick and we got that sometimes it’s Blake Wesley sometimes it’s Blake Wesley until until it turns into what does that draft pick turn into I’m looking at shooting numbers before yeah Derek white when he was and and and what’s crazy is he was not a great three-point shooter he didn’t shoot him at all either though and and they had the best shooting coach in the world in San Antonio San Antonio has been known for making guys into Shooters yeah yeah that was not Derek White’s game yeah 33% on Two on Two a game when he was in s Antonio it’s wild think about right his first first year in Boston shot 30% I guess he got in the gym in the summer went from 30% to 38 then this year you shot 40% from three kids work work on your game that’s all I working your game bro K from Colorado chip tooth no hairline bald head and he’s an NBA champion and a great role player yes we always talk about stars and role players and the other thing is they got guys that you know they’re willing to sacrifice porzingis can do more and yet he was fine doing what he did for that team and not being one of the biggest shot takers on that team Drew holiday could for sure do more but he did all the Dirty Work Drew holiday’s in the dunker spt Drew holiday’s guarding everybody Drew flying in to grab any offensive rebound he could I think they had 15 offensive rebounds last night yeah I think that was the final total they destroyed them in rebounding yep 15 offensive boards and 51 to 35 or something 5135 on the boards they dominated that game dominated them bro you cannot force a miss and then let them get the ball again 15 times to your point Drew holiday how many 11 rebounds how many offensive seven no four four four four four four four four offens and seven defensive re and they were all like just him flying out of nowhere it’s not like he was down there boxing out in rebounding position that’s him flying to the ball go get the ball bro even the Al Horford thing like telling them yo I’ll come off the bench because you got porzingis I understand like my role I’ll go sit on the bench and just I was happy for him I was too oh yeah he was he he’s like your consumate pro that dude’s been really good for a long time that guy’s been a years got off the list you saw you got off the list finally the players with most games most playoff games and no finals reings cuz you know who’s number one now you’re a favorite player James Harden James hard 166 playoff games in no Championship he’s he’s the top of the list now yeah ever yeah yep he’s the top of the list James Harden has played in more playoff games without a ring yep than any player in NBA history it was Al Horford was Al Horford before last night and they took Al Horford off the list after James Harden I’ll be damn yeah your boy man hold on boy I got to look this up it’s crazy Horford Horford’s from that that 07 draft is still crazy when you look at it because we’ve talked about it before Odin went number one but Durant was number two who is still one of the you know 15 20 best players in the league uh Al Horford was three who just won a championship and played a great role on an awesome team Mike Conley was number four who is still playing a big role on a Western Conference Finals team active active active my bad active it’s Carl Malone and John Stockton active active active how many did Malone and Stockton Play3 I just saw it too active active active and then Sam Perkins active Harden may pass that and then Sam Perkins never won a title no no the sonics and the and then James Harden yeah and then Chris Paul and then Kyle corver for the culture your Boy George Hill George Hill Fault by the way he could have he could have won one if he made the damn free throw regie Miller Reggie Miller’s like an alltime great yeah that’s on this list the other one Charles Oakley D I mean John stock and Carl Malone are also all time I got you but a lot of these guys on this list are like roll players yeah Chris Paul not a role player uh Reggie Miller not a role player Patrick Ying obviously not a role player but like a lot of these guys are like guys that you are familiar with that are on good teams George Hill Derek mcke Clifford Robinson Jeff hornek Mark Jackson Dale Davis Elgen Baylor he mentioned that the other day how about that he never won a chip no huh 134 playoff games no Championship I am surprised that Barkley is uh is so far down the list 123 uh playoff games but did not win a title he is one ahead of Russell Westbrook really yeah Russ dang Russ I want some of the people I want and V deok and then Joe Johnson at least he got big three championships to stand on Jo we won two of them Johns in the big three good for him Carl Malone 193 playoff games no title yeah cuz he tried to get with the Lakers and win one at the end bro 193 playoff games is crazy yeah they would have uh if it wasn’t for the Bulls hold on bro let me let me look this at the end they would have had one at the end that’s at least what how many seasons of playoff games that’s a lot aot to make multiple rounds that’s what I’m saying you got to go deep in the playoffs bro to play 193 played in the NBA finals three times best of seven series I mean you think look bro just take it in consideration and again it was you know you’re playing in a lot more competitive uh probably series than what we saw that being said uh Utah or I mean I’m sorry Boston They just won the title and we said they went 16 and three so they played 19 playoff games and that’s winning the title uh last year the Nuggets lost four games and that so that was 20 so let’s just say that’s 20 that and that was them winning the title going 16 and four in there right dude you would have to do that almost 10 times to get to 193 playoff games she so he played in the playoffs every year of his career 200 playoff games what the and average 25 and 11 in the playoff games it just never got over cuz Jordan and then his you said the Lakers thing so no I’ve got it all yeah so the don’t deliver on Sunday three finals six conference finals he played in the he played in the playoffs every year of his career it looks like 86 up until the end in 201 he played every year he went four games five games 11 games three five nine 16 in 1992 it’s the only thing I’m happy that LeBron did was move him down that list of alltime leading scorers keep pushing him down keep sliding his I want to get him out of here bro we got to pack him up they say Harden’s made the playoffs every year of his career is that true Harden has that makes sense that makes sense yeah great player started out everybody you know what and I’ll give Zack low credit Zack L said this about two years ago James Harden is our car Malone and it’s it’s interesting as a bar when it’s the alltime guy and then you say the active guy mhm and it’s like a bunch of stats and it’s like but people don’t yeah people don’t think of it the same cuz when we look like when you think about Carl Malone yeah you think about him losing all the time not winning and him being a crepo that’s fine for sure so like when like when William gets our age he’s gonna be like yo James Harden was was a bucket he was a problem well I didn’t like Carl Malone as a kid oh nobody did I didn’t because I you know you know what always bothered me this is going to sound crazy oh no I hated the one armed dunk all the always yeah and I always hat you hated this and I always thought he was just bigger and stronger than everybody it’s very LeBron esque honestly LeBron’s never dunked with two hands stop don’t you d a bunch of boring lame ass dude Carone weak ass post moves bigger stronger faster than everybody I will tell you he felt like he was so physically imposing that that’s why he was so good and his stupid little picking rooll with John Stockton like I just didn’t appreciate it as a kid bro as a kid it was lame when you playing this when you playing the NBA Live 2005 on the sticks or 1998 you know who never got picked yeah the Utah Jazz no it they could be the best they was the best team in the league when I was younger but I wildly uncool we would nobody ever said let me get the jazz on the Sticks no ja the other thing is they were like the and the other thing is they were on the other side of Jordan so like you really yeah yeah I’m not picking the you know who also was like the Next Generation that was like that that never got picked on like in my in my crowds the Spurs yeah the Spurs yeah we never picked nobody ever picked the Spurs on the sticks never me and Kevin were discussing this last night about the whole like not really having a consensus top five player in the league yeah and the best one I could think of in recent memory is that Spurs thing with the young kawhai being the best guy he was a collection of it was yeah it was Danny Green it was you know it was all these different guys like they had star and role players but they had their three guys career Bor was great on that team but it was Manu and Tony and and Duncan yep Y and then obviously Kawhi Leonard was the best player throughout the finals Thiago splitter was good Thiago splitter yeah and they had Patty Mills was on the team Danny Green but there were a million incarnations of that that’s what’s going to be interesting when we look back and we go there was a time where Jonas valunas was the center and then there was a time when stepen Adams was the center and then there was a time where Trey Jon was the center why you got to do that to Trey BR and then there was a time you got Joel embiid’s game War autograph Jersey after the game no but then but but no we’re also going to remember Dylan Brooks being you know the small forward or maybe Marcus Smart being the small forward or like you know you’re going to rotate those there’s only there’s only a couple guys that like you see it through with and so like that’s the Tatum and brown thing they saw it through those guys but even when you think about them losing last year Brogden gone Grant Williams gone Robert Williams gone uh who Marcus Smart gone I mean like it’s like four or five of their top like six or seven guys yeah it’s wild to think about but they’ve got the two constants and and and and and that’s what’ll be so with the Grizzlies right you’ll have these three guys and then you’re going to be like mixing and matching around them until you find the right until you find the right you find the right one I hope the dude that I did a camp with this morning is a part of that group cuz he has that like zubra energy that can like gg gg he was at the camp this morning bro what camp oh uh the Griz M Grizz Youth Camp oh they had a camp this morning they camp this morning at 9:00 at uh independent Presbyterian Church oh yeah I love their gym

Center J JW cam 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 12 12:30 p.m. yeah I don’t think he did one last year he didn’t do one in I don’t think marant did one I went to jirens you went to jarn last year at p7 it was great jirens was great yeah so yeah his I wonder how his Camp I’m g go I’m gonna go just to see how they you know because we haven’t seen jaw since he kind of been in the you seen you’ve seen the jaw two leaks come out yesterday you see that no yeah a couple leagues came out yesterday so you haven’t really seen they look like uh you can’t really you’re not in love with them you’re not stop don’t do this to me you’re not I’m not tell I haven’t seen the Sho I haven’t seen the full shoe your reaction here’s my problem with I saw the bottom of the shoe here’s what my problem with what Nike Nike logo here’s my problem with what n is doing bro we got to start getting creative they do they’re all looking the same the sabras look like every other Nike shoe they look like Jaws so like we got to start like especially see that’s what I saw that’s the bottom of the jwu right there especially when you’ve got the Anthony Edwards and the Harden and like you know what I mean like just let’s innovate a little yeah Adidas you can’t have all these you can’t have all these shoes looking the same they all look like Kobes right they all look like Kobes they’re like variations of Kobes and I love the jaw one a shoe I the that way they announced that reverse scratches are about to come out the ones that everybody they’re coming out July 1st right the you talking about the teal the white reverse they come out July 1 but yeah they all I mean it’s a good shoe but they got I need some variation so maybe the jwu will be the one I hope so cuz the books look like the books look like skater shoes I know like and the oh those are awesome the J look like the sabrinas they’re just too much of the same thing I just want I just want these I want these shoes being distinct yeah I’m scared I’m scared if they try too much try too hard with the the JW shoes people are like oh they a no what happen that one’s dope though oh yeah that’s probably the one that’s the second best pair of Jaws on on the colorways we agree the friends and family are number one and those are number two uh the ones with the diamonds on them this one the friends and family or other yeah yeah those ones are crazy that’s going to hunt me till the day I die by the way not not getting them at the thing bro you see how much they go for on stock right now they’re crazy what those go for I have a pair like that too in in my past so it’s it it’s golf shoes but I always get the alerts for the golf shoes yeah and they’re called the Breads and they’re black Jordans that have they’re like U maybe they’re 11 Low’s I don’t know but they’re uh or 12 low I think they’re 11 lows I can’t remember anyway they’re called the Breads and they’re black and their bottoms red and it’s almost like reflective red right and if uh so I you know I got the alert whatever and I had boughten two pairs of golf shoes within like the last month and I got to the thing and they were always $220 right plus tax so it’d be like 247 or something like that right I got to the checkout and I was like man I’ve already got two new pairs for this summer whatever I was like I’m just not going to get these I mean I had them in the cart when they when they what it wasn’t like a big drop or what and if you go and look them up on stockx they’re like three grand oh that’s a tough one oh it’s bral it’s bral I had them yeah you could yeah that’s a tough one I literally didn’t get them just because I was like I’ve already got two other pairs that’s why I just pulled up the the sis how much they’re 949 on stock right that’s not that bad they were way more than that they were like 1,800 to Grand yeah that’s not that now they probably will when he comes back and he’s awesome they’ll shoot back up so if you want buy them buy them now sub total a th000 for the the SW skis when you do the whole checkout with all the fees and stuff I don’t know I can’t buy I can’t spend $1,000 on those shoes bro I talk to those around the sneak Fest guys what do you think the most you’ve ever spent on a pair pair of shoes probably I would say probably 400 say probably 400 I probably I don’t think I got them no more you don’t have a pair of Jordans yeah they probably got rid of them 400 for there was on the resale and I was like I really like those I got them and I got rid of them I probably I probably spent $200 on a shirt before that’s crazy too though by the way now I think about it Brandon Clark stop bro shirt did not cost $100 don’t worry Deb I’ll spend $200 on a shirt and not wear them this shirt did not cost $100 swag I God it didn’t my boy boy
