you feel about the pop out Canon France concert I think I was born on the the the wrong Coast okay more La you la [ __ ] with LA you can’t be a Celtics fan anymore though that [ __ ] last night was legendary to the 10th power why y’all think I think he was he performed the song so many times see if y’all connected you said why mhm why did he perform it so many times M five times at least by my count no I’m trying to tell n Gil I promise you I’m trying to tell you I talk with a stutter why why why he why did he perform the song five times why did Kendrick perform not like film in the video music video during the concert it was like when Jay-Z and Kanye filming a video on your ass this is the people LA’s different out here like we ain’t never seen nothing like that just out of the blue on some this [ __ ] that was a disc concert it was the first ever disc concert some people called it a funeral definitely gang Chella hater Chella heard on Amazon with Jeff basos what sponsoring the whole event what we talking about here what would boy you know where Drake was nowhere it was nowhere [ __ ] nowhere it’s out of here you can come back from that that concert was way more than just something to watch man that’s C that was better than the Super Bowl hell yeah la was out there everybody on stage he brought everybody on stage bring they ain’t bring everybody on stage at the Super Bowl better than Dr and Snoop Super Bowl performance Brandon I’m ask I’m asking you said it was absolutely if you ain’t show up for Ken last night you wasn’t friends it’s Ken and friends you ain’t show up for Ken you ain’t his friend was Ken and friends to pop out in La you ain’t show up you don’t [ __ ] with K it was cool it was his friends it it was his saying all that [ __ ] fire to me personally no definitely fire one of the greatest [ __ ] I’ve ever seen been here a long time I I don’t know if it’s the greatest San Fernando Valley but you ride with LA on theocc how’ you feel about the Kendrick show last night I didn’t watch it I was I was it was during my nap time I guess I don’t I mean I watched YouTube I mean I I watched it on like whatever they showed on Instagram wow yeah

Brandon jennes Mr B Brandon Jenny he stay out here in the valley though so no I don’t I don’t go to functions like that I’m not I’m not I’m not I’m like I’m not a real concert I’m not a real concert type of person yeah um one because it sounds better on the radio the actual song itself right so the song itself s way better and so for you for me to go to the concert your performance your stage presence is what I’m coming for so you know you’re only talking about really a few people right you’re talking about a Beyonce you’re talking about Tay I went to her concert that sh was fire like T your favorite concert right Beyonce uh Chris Brown a Usher type like I you know it’s not about the music at that point cuz I know the songs it’s just about you know the performance itself so okay um wait you said it sound better in the car instead of like yeah yeah my earphones sound way better my earphones no I I wait cuz everybody yelling in the back and [ __ ] touching you and trying to I ain’t got time I’m trying to hear exactly every lyric rap with it right but I think if we would have went last night you would have heard not like this totally different than you’ve ever heard it on no cuz he ain’t singing it half the Crow sing [ __ ] offbeat no no he didn’t say all of it like I word for word I paid word for word so I don’t want to hear you saying [ __ ] he’s supposed to be saying then he do one of those and then you offbeat he offbeat I’m all [ __ ] up like I ain’t got time for that [ __ ] energy and energy that sound in there probably was unbelievable now you come on there you got like it look like it was 30 like the wuang CL up there now you got Westbrook who know how to do the dance then this person don’t know how to do it you got little kid know how to do it like give me the real people who know how to walk up there so it’s a a wathon Tommy the Clown you get up there and your group do it the rest of y’all sit y’ fat asses down let them finish their little performance there was a lot of people I did not know him that’s you know you know who is this who is this you know Don K Don Kennedy right who’s that you know Don right he performed right who that huh Don keny La rapper rapper yeah la rapper he he walks no no he I’m talking about when you playing the song I want to walk the walk dance shout out to Dom Kennedy man La don’t listen toan I a’t from LA

brought out Jrock was fire shout out to Jrock shout out black hippie how long was he how long was the the concert who it was close to 4 hours about 4 hours it was about 4 hours like DJ Mustard run out people and then Kendrick came out in he brought out Dr Dre it was cool so a lot of people did a bunch of songs yeah okay okay it was a con it was a concert what did you see on YouTube just not like us um and then a bunch of people dancing it came out to you for you was just crazy yeah that like the concert was crazy man you oh you went no I was I was like you think he could have played not like us more uh more than five times like how Jay-Z and them did they did like 20 times when I went to the concert in LA like like um so Jay-Z JayZ JayZ Kanye did [ __ ] in Paris like I think 11 12 times in a row up in like in a row yeah in Paris like back in the day and then I think Travis Scott did fiend like 17 times this year like last yeah in a row in a row it gets a little it gets a little stack why you just don’t mix that [ __ ] in like you know what I mean throw it on the second one then you know like throw it like seven but that’s the point of the 12 that’s the point of going to the concert the energy is different oh that’s the point of a beat down you going to beat somebody you play that [ __ ] six seven times times in a row well 11 13 I mean we seen people do it 12 in a row though like after like four I’m like all right [ __ ] come on man something [ __ ] mix like like mix it up want to boom bo boom bo bo boom yeah like you like you know you do you for that was a great song then you

couch not from La giving La real crazy props right now it was that’s crazy La shout out to LA man California love man I just hope if they do it again they wait so do they wait wait so do they have concerts like on streaming platform where you can actually the console Amazon music Amazon music on Amazon you got Amazon Prime you can watch it they also streamed it on Twitch yeah yeah they said Ice Cube didn’t come he had the big three like like like like like he Ice Cube said it’s big me he didn’t have no big three yesterday huh a no big three game just somebody told you something wrong I’m just trying I’m trying F out why the ogs didn’t come though they got to invite him it’s Ken and Friend and Friend but like Dr Dre showed up right dog pound West Coast connection phone call though for [ __ ] he could even threw Bone Thugs in harmony like right with Easy E who were they signed by they were signed by EAS Now what song did easy perform with them for the love of money could have played that song and La would have been on fire yep do y’all not know y’all music when it comes to Los Angeles yeah yeah but it was all la artist though that was on stage from game wasn’t there even Cube wasn’t there Snoop wasn’t there uh like DJ Qui even no sugarfree disapp no Snoop didn’t cuz even with Snoop he could have BR out some of that Masterpiece songs when he went there and blew up yeah but this is a la but this is a la thing we’re not playing nobody like it wasn’t for nobody else if you’re not from La we’re not playing it like they was not he wasn’t even old enough to know when Snoop went to when he revived his career career those songs that came it was only West Coast it was the biggest West Coast songs but it was coming from a lot of people a lot of people don’t don’t really [ __ ] them mother [ __ ] that that was West Coast we didn’t that was a West Coast song I know but a lot of people huh I said a lot a lot of La dudes aren’t really feeling that that Snoop Dog uh no limit error first of all first of all he got first of all he got out of LA because of who yeah should we ain’t going lot of lot of human beings got out of La so a lot a lot of us we wer really feeling that that that down sty Snoop at the time I mean it was it good music though that was that was a lot of the [ __ ] didn’t show up for Kendrick still sing with Drake that’s just real the real honest they don’t want to spoil that they don’t want to [ __ ] that that relationship up so let’s let’s talk about it uh if you’re Drake how do you feel about Demar de rozan and LeBron singing not like us at a Kendrick concert given what those lyrics are implying about being given that they’ve been tweeting about taking size with dr’s all this whole time and then they switch up last second I’m just that part just asking we keep the receipts we keep the receipts over here with Drake Drake Drake and I don’t think it’s anything I mean I I like the song What you going to tell somebody that that has an ear of music like you can’t like that song it’s a be pick size [ __ ] pick what size I told you this already beef pick sides for what are I don’t want to see you at they party my [ __ ] come to my party after you just walked in with them you in there singing his song too they got you on video singing both of our songs and what picking a side for who homie is you but picking a side for what though they lining me up in there they trying to they trying to line me up and you in there like that’s the plan that’s the plan but you not deep into that beef we deep in that beef everybody everybody that’s a fan is a deep in that be no they not the kids is out there like no they’re not kids are going to drop some Len when little kids are saying freaky ass [ __ ] it’s crazy it’s crazy work that’s the song Crazy can’t help with the ear like he made the song though Kendrick made the song freaky ass [ __ ] it’s a great s how would you feel if you saw Gil at a concert singing a Brandon Jennings disc song because it was a he likes the song so you I can’t help what the crazy I can’t help what the ear it’s the ear of Music Man if you like a beat and kids is like what I’m going say oh damn sing theack I’m going do is I’m with your homie you singing the diss track that a [ __ ] but I expect that from Gil cuz that’s what you know but that’s my man so I I ain’t sh okay so going joke you going the issue the real issue is why should why should anyone care of aide if Drake plays the song at his concert he don’t his DJs don’t be liking that [ __ ] his DJ’s him he trolled the song on his in his own concert it wasn’t good it wasn’t so what I’m saying is if it’s if he if he is playing the song at that point is he relevant to picking a side cuz he’s because at the end of the day the song Only any claim against you only mean something if you actually if it is believable not in rap it is if you’re saying something to me and it’s not true why do I really give a [ __ ] about it because that’s the point of be of being rap I can subliminally attack you I can F I can use fantasy to attack you illusion to attack you as long as I’m attacking you but your fantasy but what I’m saying is if if he’s laughing at the song himself it’s it’s now it’s fantasy but everybody else believes it it’s not fantasy anymore everyone else believes it except for him cuz he knows I’m lying yeah right but they don’t that’s why they can say what I say when I say freaky ass [ __ ] yes a 69 guy it’s a cat they can believe that though they can really believe can they believe it yeah you can believe anything you want to but if it’s not realy it’s tchy but if it’s not real what like it’s it’s just like movies it’s just like the movies if it’s not real what you’re not going to watch it no what I’m saying is if it’s not real why am I going to get upset about it it’s not real who Drake yeah yeah nobody says Drake going to get upset he has to accept his Fai he’s singing a song himself he’s playing it himself in front of his audience danc along with it so it doesn’t well imagine you shooting yourself and just sitting there bleeding out yeah no I’m not bleeding out he shot himself was like let me just I’m just laughing cuz look that song hot man that [ __ ] killing me no it’s a fake bullet killing me it’s not a real bullet that’s the problem yeah you hear it’s not a real Bullet cuz the the the claims aren’t real so Drake can’t pop out nowhere right now but he is a little but but but regards if it is true or not it’s it’s still a little embarrassing like people are saying O ho like kids like like it just us the word yeah cuz like I mean that’s my label like this is what I built so for somebody to like trying to destroy what you built you’re going to feel some like regardless if it’s real or not you’re still going to be that’s what I’m saying the perception becomes reality know how no matter how I paint it that’s like I don’t if you Gils Arena and somebody want to start from other podcast start dissing and start tearing us all down we regardless of it’s true or not we going to f away they can say some [ __ ] start hting and then he got that type well he got over 500 million you know he fing away so we got to strike first who who we dissing they call me BBL Gilly [ __ ] among yeah but you don’t some people can’t but some people can’t handle that though some people can’t handle that man the whole everywhere you go my [ __ ] natural like all you got to do is prove that it’s not it’s not real though like if if Drake was to prove all the [ __ ] that he was saying is not true he said it though he said it wasn’t he can say it he can say whatever the [ __ ] he want but how do you prove it [ __ ] exactly that’s the whole point or when you say some [ __ ] and you can’t prove it to be true and I can’t prove it to be wrong like how do you do prove it wrong it’s called it’s called Uh Predator website it shows you all of them I can show you all of them right now it’s just a website and it shows none of us is on this registered website that’s how you prove it he was saying you need to check them [ __ ] and put them on the website you need to put them [ __ ] on the website that’s what he was doing he was saying go in there and look at that mansion and see if them [ __ ] St the kids [ __ ] in there yeah but overall man the beef was great I mean that’s why I said it’s been very entertaining it’s ENT it was it was entertaining when it happened like just hopefully it just stays it was but I want what I want to hear now is the the unreleased like the unreleased on the way the album’s on the way Kendrick album on the yes absolutely just shooting a video can I ask you something though there’s is there a knock against Kindra himself when his most famous work is the same one person like when we talk about a body of work your famous songs is dissing other rappers is that not a Knockin history but that’s not that’s not true I know what you’re saying like like basically like your biggest records are just dissing people but that’s not true that’s not true at all so what’s his biggest record his first album no what’s his record song what’s his biggest record hey when you say top five songs that are known to the world talking about a be CER be bet Cipher good glorious Cipher huh a glorious Cipher control be humble yeah humble has the most streams 2.2 I’m talking about what what you know Money Trees 1.4 billion stream that stream some of these songs are not on stream chart but we’re talking about what he’s known for humble humble yeah that’s number one all right no but like us is number one [ __ ] Don’t Kill My Vibe a good track started songs are itun we’re just talking about I’m talking about good what you know of what you know of him no definitely swimming pools Money Trees hum all the songs prior to this all the songs this ain’t this ain’t his roll out this ain’t this ain’t K this ain’t Kendrick Lamar first big record no I’m just saying like it’s there’s no like I don’t know just rap just like your song like even though um ice cube did the no Vaseline that’s not his he’s not known for that today was a good day is what he’s known for yeah today was a good yeah um what what what is uh what El what El the stuff he was like uh but that’s what his music like it’s it’s not this it’s not this one thing in his history what I’m saying is but are you saying that that that’s what it is for Kendrick Lamar I’m just asking like when when when Kendrick makes his splash it’s usually a this song and I’m saying is that is that I yeah I see you see what I’m saying what I’m saying if I’m theer I don’t want he only has one dis song this is the only dis song this the only dis song that he put on the on in so you can chart it but I’m saying control was a song I mean the BET Cipher was a thing right I’m just talking about just like I’m just saying as an artist do you really want to be known for just dissing the same one man is that your legacy that’s not his that’s not his legacy any song outp pass any song he does moving forward can it outp pass not like us yeah his album is about to come out I’m not talking about an album talking about a song but he has songs on the album when we say go ahead when we say what is Drake’s number one what is what song will he be known for when he leaves this Earth um Eminem Drake I I mean you know Jay-Z what are you going to be known for is what I’m what I’m asking like his is not going to be nothing like us that’s all I’m so you think he got a bigger song than that hell yeah this record that record is huge that wasn’t even supposed to be a record that was supposed to be a diss track they had that already planned and just dropped that as part of the album and they just was like let’s let’s change the words on this [ __ ] and drop it [ __ ] this [ __ ] let’s draw let’s thr the summertime summer Banger this is Will Smith and them so if he drop an album this year in the fall he going to have a song on there that’s better than not like us going into bro what this kend I’m just asking I just he pop out he pop out bro yeah he got a song with he got a song with Rihanna bro another one okay now another one well like what funny is my my like if you take if this song is on the album which most likely is going to be on the album One MH if he take this song off the album what does the album do it’s going to go platinum in two days guaranteed I believe that guaranteed the album itself without the song See not like us is put without that song oh no not like this cuz not like not like us is back number one today right it stands where it stands alone that track it doesn’t need an album but that’s the problem if you don’t put so now but if it if it’s on the album the album automatically is Diamond because it uses this not necessary yes it does that’s how it works not necessary that’s how it works that’s true that’s right so this song it automatically whatever [ __ ] I mean that that song Ain’t Diamond yet it’s not going to sell 10 million 10 million but what I’m saying all the sales it has right now yeah they count for that it counts for that so the song automatically soon as it releases it’s in this it’s in it already has so it’s already platinum on day one so it has it can it can sell nothing in this Platinum the album and stuff I said that’s why I said if you take it off what the what do you think he’s still going he’s still going to do numbers I’m telling you that that’s what I’m telling you is there is there s a single by itself or he just dropped this album is going to eclip I’m saying what that’s what I’m saying remove this song yeah not what is the single he ain’t dropped no single yet okay he waiting that’s why everybody wait for his reply to Drake’s last [ __ ] his reply was this so pop out hate to Hate to end this conversation prematurely but we have some breaking news who died according to Adrian W now you talking about breaking news we got to get our spirit down yeah I’m like we was on the up like we was this going to get I got to pretend I got pretend I know the person well you know this person we got some breaking news concerning the Lakers coaching situation uh JJ reck has agreed to a four-year deal to become the Los Angeles Lakers next head coach a day after juneth JJ a day after juneth he like man the didn’t I tell y reports Rob pinka offered JJ the job this morning for for what don’t know the bread yet four four for 12 news is news is just broke four for 12 oh congratulations congratulations JJ oh man we didn’t expect this think that huh congratulations man oh no you’re welcome you’re welcome you’re welcome baby boy JJ reck news head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers uh no word on how this will impact the mind of the game podcast that we’ve all come to watch and enjoy now that shouldn’t be funny if they they still do it no I mean you got to they said we hating on K Dot and yeah I don’t I don’t some would interpret when you ask questions people call it hate I just you ask a question right you know like like if I said Stephen A if Tatum didn’t win the championship is he still in your top five and if the ansers no then he shouldn’t be in your top five if he won the championship either you top five or you top five you don’t really there’s no a championship can’t get you top five it’s it’s a team award like I you know what I mean I don’t like stuff like that so you know you so thoughts on JJ reic being named Lakers next head coach replacing Darin ham who was let go I mean we saw when when the podcast came we knew what time it was yeah been up here saying the whole time he been calling it that is that why you were the crown today did you did you know something that we I thought it was Kendrick related but it made all all in one no King Kong ain’t got [ __ ] on me I think JJ waited till after the pop out to make the announcement he didn’t want this moment to be soiled we predicted already that all that Dan hurly [ __ ] was all just fabrication cuz JJ was still working with ESPN conflict of interest man we got to hold this thing out held it out and now we here now now we get to see the LeBron dilemma so I know it’s rubbing into the next segment but you know rich and them three or 19 million 19 you seeing three for 19 no no no I’m sorry no no no you don’t believe the internet right now it’s going to be a lot of a lot of misinformation being disseminated sounds about right no but it’s not but what was I right shot you were accurate in your analysis and assessment that the mind the game podcast would lead to JJ reck getting the Lakers head coaching job LeBron was grooming him and training him and displaying his coaching acument for all the world to see that sound like the same type of response I would get from Gil just like going around just saying yes Rashad you right like 18 words I know I know it was impressive it was impressive it was more than yeah it was more than a year right B yeah I was right I appreciate that man of your word man stand on that interestingly enough W broke the news Shams has been reporting that reic was the top candidate I don’t know if this is a situation where one is trying to jump about W the same person who put out the fake news for his friend for so now he want to report he should I mean to be honest if he want to be if he wants to be taken serious he should just say all right y’all this is the real this was the real person all the time I was just trying to get my friend paid right now we can say all right a man okay appreciate that then you get but the fact that you’re trying to We Know What You Did you try to throw everybody for a loop it worked no it didn’t it worked for some of some of the cas for some some of the cas sometimes you got to pop out and show nigas [ __ ] was getting mad cuz D Hy popped up as a candidate they like what the what the yeah I don’t sit down somewhere so now the the next Point gives what you have said previously if JJ did get the job as important as him being the head coach is now surrounding him with Elite coaching level talent to help make that transition smooth if he gets ready for his first NBA head coaching opportunity yeah I mean I mean you know just with any transition you have to it has to be tactical has to be smart you have to really design your staff according to your weaknesses and at this point you know when you’re talking about being a coach right most likely it’s all weaknesses at this point because you don’t know what you’re gifted at once the game starts right you know so you need someone who’s great at designing practice functional practices even though we’ve been in practices and we know what’s good like you know we can go through a practice like man this this is dys functional of a practice is horrible right he switch this drill make it this drill so that has to be designed right when you look at the the the season right when the season comes out you have to have an eye for days off traveling all that is part of coaching it ain’t just we get on the court and I just make subs and Sub in and sub out that’s not part of that’s the easy part it’s designing the the layout of how the season is supposed to run who does JJ know that as a coach uh I’m sure he knows a lot of people that are coaches I would say the first person that comes to mind is probably Coach K okay would be my first person I even know just giving their relationship first person who just took over for the Detroit Pistons uh TR langon former Duke basketball player wait he’s the he’s the head coach for no Trad Lane the president I believe the Pistons recently hired had to fire Monty Williams now he’s the coach that’s what he wanted the whole time but uh El BR um where was he at he’s he was in Philly he’s in Philly still he’s still in Philly so he’s still in Philly right so there’s people he can call and just ask questions to and pick their brain and imagine his assistant coaching staff so what you tring to say it’s a Duke thing it’s going to be a lot of it’s going to be the USA type [ __ ] JJ’s going to assemble Like A Team USA coaching staff type [ __ ] yeah of that level well I mean it still has to be it’s still the Lakers it’s still the Lakers dog and they GNA try to they G to try to have you replacement right in like it’s going to be right there for him for after what four years it’s a four year deal I think year two maybe but not now so they want to give him I mean with with assistant Co they’re gonna put an assistant coach like I they’ll [ __ ] around put M on the coaching staff maybe maybe I mean you’re going to put Avengers of assistant coaches the Avengers of assistant coach you’re going have to put experience around them yeah that’ll make that Adrian Griffin I would I wouldn’t be mad at Adrian being on the assist coach staff for that team so you guys you guys all play for good coaches play for bad coaches what are the ingredients if you could put them together to make the ideal NBA head coach ideal or it’s close to what you would consider to be what what makes a great NBA head coach I mean has it be he has to be a people person right he has to be a players coach and if he’s not the players coach there has to be players coaches on the staff that you can relay your hatred for this [ __ ] too right that’s that’s one right um you know practice times like there’s like little things that’s very important that people don’t really take in consideration practice times right having the perfect pra practice time uh shoot around times right um travel schedule is very important um under understanding you know rest days and workout days when to go hard um structure it’s just it’s just mostly the structure of it’s just the structure it’s it’s the template you got to have structure man who would you bring in player coach as assistant like your first assistant we’ve seen first and second first and second uh probably somebody with some head coaching experience right that can help be a good consiliary who’s out there probably bring back Phil you’ll bring back Phil well you know he he probably not going to do that though one because because he is the development coach that they all loved Phil H oh you talking thought about not going to play no second like you know you know what’s so funny they’re train they’re trainers like pin bery was over there right I believe at one point yeah I mean they had a they had a very good um training staff uh but from there like I’m going to get someone that the players can talk to that can work out where they can train I’ll probably get some younger talent in there that can really be active with the players especially my young group right so you know um so pimber was an assistant 2019 and 2022 went over to the Nuggets to become a shooting coach in 2022 makes sense bring him back um he could get you a bucket back in the day who’s local here like some of these development coaches like uh Olan um bring them to me your second huh you be you’re bringing in no for one one and two coaching staff is at this point is it’s how do I develop in-house first right so that’s very important right in-house development right so now you’re thinking about like teams like Denver you’re thinking about teams like um Golden State Warriors right um so I want to try to build the structure first so I would go after trainers uh but a great training staff so you know um Olen would feel and someone else d huh Dallas tra like you know what I mean they got Shem God over there there’s you know what I mean like so some of these people you think that is irrelevant the algorithm the the the analytics say these guys are helpful right so I’ll go after that group first and then from there really so do you think feel like the way that the Lakers are currently constructed there’s a lot of question marks still obviously with LeBron likely opting out uh reports saying he would likely resign two or threee deal with the Lakers is JJ put in a a situation is he set up for Success right now draft less than a week away free agency on the horizon with this roster [ __ ] looked like two years and out long JJ’s contract four years reportedly four years I’m giving two years like you said darham lasted two years uh I’m JJ I’m going solidify my legacy I’m going to get Mark Jackson and rayon Rondo now I’m goinging bring in Jeff Van Gundy at the tail in just if I need him Gundy so you want Mark jackon at Jeff Van Gundy he went to the Clippers Van Gundy just went to the Clippers wait like Stan Van Gundy or no no no Jeff his brother he was with Team USA too for Jeff was coaching the Celtics or he was just consultant special consultant Oh I thought you was talking about as a coach you’re saying as an assist OT yeah you talking about his three assistant on the bench yeah you talking about his first three assist Mark Rondo and and but Jeff is was the last time Jeff coach what 90 what let me he was in Houston was he in Houston I see he he was his assistant in Houston something like that for like quick little minute yeah last time he had an a official coaching job 2007 with the Rockets he was a senior consultant with the Celtics 2023 through 2024 and now lead assistant with the Clippers lead assistant Tyrone hire him as the lead assistant yeah I be so see him the tail end of that but he already gone so we about the older them 80s and 90s coaches because the style and the the the kids minds are so different you know and if they haven’t if they haven’t adjusted to the temperament of today’s era right you know coaching these guys versus you know Charles oaking him is very different the structure right you know what I mean so you sitting there saying stuff that you can say to these the your New York team and this these kids get your ass fired quick as [ __ ] they’ll turn on you they’ll turn on you quick yeah but they got to know times have changed though who like Jeff like some of them Old Coach got like that’s like saying don’t don’t raise your your son the way he supposed to be raised and just let him out here do what the [ __ ] he want to do no the game got structure too no our game got structure the game do and the old school structure is the structure the found Foundation attitude ethics professionalism all that [ __ ] is them Old School coaches trying to get get the foundation right all the new school [ __ ] y’all talking about that’s why you hire them other dude the trainers like you said the trainers to get you through the new school [ __ ] but the ethics of how we go out here and play hard play smart play together that needs to be instilled from an older coach new coaches don’t know that [ __ ] they just let you go do whatever no accountability let you run up and down like you jog back all that Luca [ __ ] Jason kid supposed to be on top of that what happens when you’re on top of it that’s what you’re not they don’t they don’t do those things they don’t make those mistakes when you’re on top of it what I’m saying is what happens what happens when you’re on top of a guy who makes 40 million who’s expandable so you can you can say do theame what I’m saying is you can say whatever you want but there’s a difference between yelling at a dude in the 80s and 90s right Jerry how Jerry cross used to talk to those bulls and how he used to talk to Michael Jordan that that don’t work today your ass is gone we were men we were men and these Bo you spank your kids in the 80s and the ’90s great parenting you spank your kids today godamn it you’ll be arrested an hour that that is fair [ __ ] that be same ass whooping same belt same leather how much it cost to get out of here and pay this tab every time they come arrest you going get that ass whooped today though I’ll be back I’ll be back in two hours when they baild me out but you whoop your ass again when I so so if Jason kid called out Luca you think Jason kid’ be fired like like if he was like in a team meeting was like yo you got to get your ass back or we ain’t going to you think he going from who Jason Jason K is a top five uh point guard for one that ever played the game so you Jason kid you yelled at me and I don’t like the way you said what you said to me MH you the owner me or him if you rais the question me or him are you raising the question as Luca me or him oh man I don’t know I’m going have to choose you but the fact that you raising the fact that you raising the question on some hey man you got to pick me or him cuz he yelling at me yo get your soft ass out take your ass back out here but what you going to do though he ain’t fir Mike Finley for taking that damn drink out of his hand and that ain’t but that ain’t that y’all [ __ ] lost every game after that that [ __ ] he be fire what you mean I can’t talk soft to him they were one and four after Finley took be she got to point that out these kids can’t be soft man you got to get with his drink these these These Old just one time but but one time that he talk to him like and out of all these years I’ve been helping you so now you mad cuz I’m yell so now I got to get fired it’s the temperament of the person the temperament of the person today the players today the power exceeds anything so when you watch some of these kids think about James Harden people like that right and when they’re not getting back on on on plays and stuff you embar these dudes today right it’s very different now it’s yo it’s me and him I what we going to do here bro if if you mean you don’t want it’s me or him cuz you don’t want to get back on defense that’s crazy work like the way man listen then Jason K will have every right to slap the [ __ ] out of him too crazy work like like I’m I’m but I’m with that too though you going to do all that I’m going slap are we going to pretend that all these coaches that’s getting fired AR doing that are are getting fired because of they just some bad coaches so is that or is it the locker room that they just get them up out of here you think it’s a conflict okay so what do these you know us okay so what do they want though huh so what do these young is want then cuz I like because if you don’t want structure you don’t want somebody to be have discipline and and help you then what do you want then you just want to just get paid and just go be a loser like you’re going got to change something got to get some [ __ ] the foundation but we’re pretending everybody is Kobe Steph mentality Yannis today’s mentality only him right you’re talking about Jimmy Butler’s mentality that there there’s not a lot of we know there’s not a lot of stars that want to be held accountable right like if I if I don’t pass the ball to you I know I didn’t pass the ball to you but now if the coach comes out and say hey why you ain’t passing and putting me on the spot you already know I’m in my feelings is Miami a place where people look at the organization and respect it Miami Heat organization y yep because of accountability right because of because of Pat and because of and what they’ve done they they all hold each other accountable and then you always hear the Miami what system or and you we know that everybody can’t play in that system because they hold you accountable in the summer they hold you not to go out night life and all that other [ __ ] right they try to hold you accountable throughout the whole league everybody looks at Miami like I don’t I don’t know if I’m ready for that much accountability that’s just old school Pat Riley [ __ ] that’s just old school that’s old school vet teaching like look we going to get this done this done and this done this what we going to hang our hat on and if you can’t [ __ ] deal with it get the [ __ ] up out of here the league used to be like that but that’s the mentality of what you said so it goes from Mickey first the the power went to who Pat Riley so the power is Pat Riley Pat Riley says spro you have the power whatever y’all say about SPO I don’t want to hear it right so it that’s where it starts the only two teams that have that type of structure is them in Spurs right so when you say hey Co I don’t like pop what pop GNA do all right let me go talk to the general manager the general manager now say shut the [ __ ] up all right hey but it what did the general manager say huh it comes from the coaching though right no but it comes from it comes from upstairs first so what I’m saying is like Dallas right we already know the power in Dallas was what Mark right who did he favor his player first right his player Dirk had the power Luca has the power so when they come up there and say hey I don’t like the way coach hey um my money bag said he don’t like you so we going to have to go ahead and you know get on up out of here but you know that’s majority of the lead the power the player has the power himself versus management no I agree I agree 100% but I’m just saying like from Pat Riley coming from where he came from from the Lakers to New York he was the type of Coach to hold you accountable that’s old school [ __ ] the the Mark Jackson the [ __ ] Jeff Van gundies the Ste the what’s ‘s Ste what is Van St Stan Van gundi the van gundies all of these certain coaches hold you accountable and they we could call it fossilized coaching which is outdated but at the same time the foundation of that fossil is still where you get the DNA from you go inside the fossil you get the DNA you say this is where it begins you got to teach the fundamentals first we don’t need them from nothing else but that I think that’s where you bring the Old School coaches back into it you filter them in with the new school and you say hey look man we going to do the fundamentals first and then y’all freestyle that other [ __ ] on top of it because the one thing you going to do is run the [ __ ] back and you’re going to play [ __ ] hard see that structure has to be like young teams right like that’s why I said if any young team I’m going old school because when these kids are coming to the NBA they don’t know nothing right and for the most part I don’t know who said it I think anger said it right she said Oh I thought training camp was going to be harder H which is correct right and everybody got offended it’s correct College her college coach if you see how she acts most likely she was a th% harder than anything is ever going to face in the pros period right so same thing coming from college these kids are in these college programs that was harder than any NBA structure yep right so if you if you have a a old school coach I would want to give it to teams that are very young where it’s easier to mold them into hard work right so you know trying to put you know Jeff Van Gundy or not I don’t know Jeff personally a Stan Van Gundy on the Lakers no not St for sure not St nah he’s more back in Detroit he’s one of those teams Charlotte right putting structure into those teams like you got to have you you still got LeBron over there you got ad over there they’ve been their ways a long time and from there it’s just crashing you talking about 3our practices like that’s why I say Jeff because Jeff knows the veteran side all them vets he had in New York all the Vets he had in Houston like he understands the the seniority rules and and and and the longevity of that is maintaining the fitness maintaining nutrition making sure these old guys get the rest they need all that type [ __ ] you got Mark Jackson in there ex I mean I just think it’s dope I think that would be a dope move but they’ll do a more La Centric move though they’ll bring some La guys in there hey but Jeff is it uh with the Clippers with the Clippers now I mean he in La somehow I mean with the best over there yeah yeah so you going to see something change over there though watch you see something change the Clippers Squad see something change just something just a attitude or energy this going to change this is going to flip them I can see it so let’s talk a little bit more about JJ in this Lakers news uh first time coaching job previously you both said that he has 15 years of experience from his playing days and understanding the intricacies of what it takes to be a head coach obviously spent several years in on the broadcasting side so he’s familiar with today’s game the look and feel of it coaching angle Rashad you said previously that he gets along with the brothers and that quote [ __ ] respect JJ mhm but do you think re can handle the pressure of being the Lakers head coach as his very first NBA coaching job yeah did Darin ham handle it yeah yeah Darin ham did right Western Conference W conference like what do y want him to do relax huh relax relx bro in two years what did Joe mou did Joe moula do reped to handle that nicely win in the championship in his second season but uh gifted a incredibly that that media is very different from this media here if JB bicker staff and Jamal Mosley can go out there and be good coaches Biggers have also fired uh this this off see now you got given the opportunity with no experience is what I’m saying just give an opportunity you never did it before you know what I’m saying y’all lasted a pretty substantial amount of time in the league so far I think JJ deserves for 20 and for 20 from the field and and in Ohio is very different from Owen 0 and20 in Los Angeles mhm right that’s just I mean the markets is so different so when you say did he handle it did he handle the Westbrook [ __ ] right no right he didn’t know what the hell was going on then um the beginning of the Season he didn’t handle DLo right he didn’t handle what so these players are complaining like we don’t know what we’re doing here well the players going to do that right no the players supposed to how many how many how many players have de was on the phone no know what I’m saying he was even there yeah that’s a player thing it’s not a CO players got to show up and play bro like you on the phone during the play man you was never even here but what I’m saying is I’m not here that’s on okay that’s on you you got to lock in bro I don’t get paid to get you locked in you get paid to get yourself locked in what I’m saying is what you think is going on if I’m not paying attention to this dude no more you gotta remember you got to think way back when Westbrook right they having a what’s her name they having a little huddle he over there on the bench right the trust was lost think about how much trust is lost publicly from all the players right we’re talking about all players we’re not just talking about a few even Limon Daddy had this uh you know I don’t know what coaches out here do it like we like so he did not he playing ducking down he playing imagine if he getting that same question asked and you sitting over there like cam reddish no he was no he was he was hoop he was starting no he wasn’t he got binged Austin Rivers I mean Austin Reeves that’s his name re and he he voiced it nickname lemon so then why when did he start starting when did he when he start he started starting after that right he started voicing opin him DLo what I’m saying is you got I can get it from a star player but you got role players coming out like voicing the opinion I’ve never seen everybody have you ever seen that before yes role players publicly coming out and talking about they they don’t know what’s going on with the coaching staff we don’t know we don’t know about our playing time yeah we don’t know we always as a role player you always confused about your play time you always don’t know what the [ __ ] you never had a mic to say it right they complain they complain it and still ain’t doing [ __ ] though Ain’t So when talking about when you’re talking about handling you your whole like your whole team is in in this in this raid your whole team yeah cuz everybody want to play if you dealing with a kid you babysitting you want to do this this this and this and this and then just really just want to go to sleep take your ass to sleep instead cuz your ass don’t want to go play defense you don’t want to drive you can’t sit in the corner and make a shot so what you want me to do please everybody no man who who hooping Darin like man who I thought we was hoopers we supposed to be professional hoopers I put you in the game for 10 minutes and you not hooping I’m taking your ass out now you mad cuz you not hooping we don’t want to hear that [ __ ] man hoop you out here throw the ball out I mean they y’all don’t want to run plays you complain okay cool I let you run just throw the ball out LeBron get him going can’t do that either well what the [ __ ] you guys want me to do I’m not going to draw [ __ ] up on the [ __ ] board no more I mean they do say it is hard to play with braon so that could be the issue too got to sit there throw it at the who fault is it really though huh who is it the coach’s fault really or is it the players like I said it’s all or who making the decision bringing coaching is more than just going up and down is called ego management also right that’s part of your job that’s that’s why I say when you the when you the president of something you ain’t the president of just one thing you the president of all this [ __ ] so you got to make so you’re the coaching of everything so I got to know how to talk to you you a damn I didn’t get you in the game damn it my bad right you know what I’m going to get you in next game like you got to be able to talk yeah you got to be a that’s your job but next you got to make sure it fun but next game it might not happen that’s like saying never watch it’s like never watching film I forgot about you man next game put yourself in the game at the at the six minute Mark next time put yourself in the game you know what I mean sometimes I get I get involved in the game so much you know I be for now you going to have a now you going to have an issue with somebody else Co hey that’s part of the job you talking to him more than you talk why he coming to get me he ain’t played in part of the job if I’m telling you something I got to reward you if I’m not reward if I’m telling you to stay after two hours and I’mma get you in and I never get you in what do you do to me you turn you turn on me so my word ain’t so you got to understand how to communicate okay and still deliver young fellas stay ready what does that mean it means Stay Ready stay ready look at your contract listen you make this you ain’t playing this all right you got to [ __ ] wait that’s how you be [ __ ] honest I ain’t getting you in next you make this much sit your ass over here and wait we we can go down there and play in the G League all right or or wa turn you can wait till I put you in because I got to answer to him and he said he got to play cuz they paid him this much ready so so if you so if you have a meeting with me and ask me hey what can I do to get on the court and I be like all right and I give you an answer and I say you got to take 300 shots a day you got to come in two hours before practice stay out work with the film dud and you do all of that you did all of that and I don’t play you who failed you or me uh well what’s the reason why he not playing you it don’t matter well well who failed I mean well you fa for well well you fail for telling me that and but I’m going go back look at the contract I know I ain’t playing on this ain’t got no contract I told you what you need to do to get on this court you did it the only thing that didn’t happen is I didn’t do my job was get me on the court to get you on my job was say if you do all this I’m going to get you on the court you did it all and I didn’t now now I done lost you because now you’re like what the [ __ ] I did everything you told me to do and you still didn’t get me on the court now I can’t trust you I don’t want to play for you now it don’t even matter matter at that point you gave up on me so do you do you ask for a trade most likely that person will you’ll ask for a trade most most likely that person will okay I was told he going stop working hard he going to stop doing whatever told it was a man’s lead and when you get in these situations you might not play because there’s a [ __ ] getting paid more than you then then as a coach should you relay that message then see that’s the problem is if you raying the message and doing something else then that becomes the issue that’s always been an issue with us right cuz you can’t please everybody but at some point we all we all try to figure out what we need to do to get on the court right we all Y and if you give me if you I rather you it’s easier to just say hey hey not I I have no time for you right now this is my line up if somebody gets hurt maybe you can crack this line up but don’t give me something to do don’t give me a checklist and I go check this [ __ ] off you telling me run five hours a day and I’m out there running six and then you say yeah you know so I’m not going to give you a hypothetical I’m going give you a real scenario I went through this situation Kevin mcel hey this was my fourth year contract year I’m I said 16 games dmps no explanation the second leading scorer on the team why am I sitting down hey cev what do I need to do to get on the court Hey listen shotty uh you know guys are just playing well in front of you right now just stay ready a think can happen but right now they’re just playing they’re just playing better we we’re getting a stride granted we’re the second worst in the league uhhuh and we we catching our stride and we’re playing well and I was just like what like you sure you don’t want to use me at any point like tell me what I need to do this is killing me watching my team lose like this and I’m like there’s nothing I can do just just stay ready Stay Ready shy but then at one one point me staying ready someone got hurt someone was in foul trouble and he had to put me in mhm but but but that’s the go-to line of of nothing Stay Ready Stay Ready loyal stay loyal to the game and what I’m saying is but what I’m saying is I’m stay loyal to the just stay loyal to the game but what I’m saying is you ask me what do you ask me a question what do I need to do to play Stay Ready is not an actual answer it is that means I don’t know if I can put you in right now young fell I don’t know you’re not you’re not telling me my my flaws you’re not telling me like like CU there ain’t no fla need to learn to plays there’s nothing I just can’t play you right now that’s I said stay just stay ready just stay ready all right don’t change what you’re doing you’re doing everything you need to do I just can’t put you in right now put because management or some upstairs somean I is that better but wouldn’t you rather hear that then yeah just stay what just stay ready yeah stay ready or just hey but yeah because of managing because of that’s what I’m saying told me the contracts I got to play this dude real quick so just keep working the way you’re working you can accept that stay ready means nothing what does it mean in real life grinding I mean you got that [ __ ] on your face and you ain’t got a haircut in two months and you really out there grind you like man it’s nasty out here I ain’t played in a month man I’m out here working my ass off man what listen Stay Ready grind list Stay Ready is that same thing what we tell girls that like us yeah just stay here stay right here I’m yeah just just when she asked you to get Mar married yeah I’m going do it just just just stay ready I’m do it when Stay Ready Stay Ready stay ready just stay ready it’s coming that’s what that mean that’s what that mean from them people in the NBA don’t trust at all nobody hey just don’t worry just stay ready next day come on bro like what keep them [ __ ] joint man you got to make sure that’s but that’s what I’m saying as a as players we know what we were told and we know we what we didn’t like right so to be a Kure you have to be better than the example that you didn’t like right so you know what I mean you have to be honest like like I I guess I guess the reason they do do [ __ ] like that is they don’t want the confrontation the confrontation when non-con they are so when you’re creating it though you’re creating it if you just tell the person like you think this is the first time we’ve been bitched [ __ ] for the first sometimes it is but then he has to explain that to every single player that he does to and it he wants a mass text I’m sending this whole group text to everybody that this is the message I’m not babying you [ __ ] [ __ ] I’m not coming to you telling you that you’re special you when I tell you to go in the game get your ass up go in the game when I take your ass out sit your ass down there so wait a minute so wait so so you saying the players can tell their teammates they ain’t getting in the game ever you ain’t getting the ball ever but the coach can’t what you mean how many times yo I’m open I know you are I know you are but it ain’t your time right how many times have we said it or heard player to player player to player how many times have we said it or heard it yeah Brennan hey get that [ __ ] off the glass man I ain’t paying n you good right you good good I’ll find you when I find you right we so we can say it to our teammates and it’s fine but you telling me to coach kid hey coach he ain’t passing the ball didn’t I tell your ass get it off the glass H he said get off the glass coach can definitely get some offensive rebounds coach would definitely come tell you Hey listen don’t shoot that [ __ ] they tell you that right don’t shoot that [ __ ] tonight move it mooving around they’ll tell you that but they can’t tell you an honest a honest answer when what can I do to get better sometimes coach it’s okay to say there ain’t [ __ ] you can do to get better cuz a’t that the quicker way to lose them ain’t that a quicker way to lose him ain’t [ __ ] you can do [ __ ] you need to work on that left hand cuz that [ __ ] trash here you go work on your [ __ ] left hand coach your jump shot bad [ __ ] it’s the same thing ain’t it see see that’s man they don’t want nobody coming out office like Ice Cube back in NWA remember we came with that bat dude to him they don’t want that should have gave should have gave his bread he playing with the man that’s what I’m saying should have gave us playing time that’s why they say just stay ready don’t promise you so Ice Cube is the player coming in there talking to the coach yeah where the [ __ ] am my playing time at yeah you told me I would all right and that’s thing I will take it out of my check that out my all right so uh a lot more in this JJ re situation according to Shams uh today in in an article he wrote uh rdic checks many of the boxes on the Lakers extensive check checklist for their next head coach he’s drawn internal comparisons to a young Pat Riley as a coaching Prospect who jumped from plane to the broadcast Booth to the coaching chair uh the Los Angeles confident he can be their version of Eric spola or Steve Kerr a culture Setter who can grow with the franchise for over a decade and I also have this staff from ESPN reic is the sixth person to become a head coach without any experience as in coaching since 2010 he joined Steve Nash Steve kry Jason kid Derek Fischer Mark Jackson so are you buying that JJ has a type of potential to be a coach similar to SPO and Steve Kerr or will it be the other side well who who was supposed to be um Pat Riley that’s what they’re saying internally they look at him as a Pat Riley type potential just in terms of his transitioning from player to broadcast Booth to coach I’m just telling you reporting the information as it is communicated to me well the difference between that is Pat Pat Riley went into a championship team he did have a squad and then they end up getting M Johnson and all that stuff and had three number one picks you know during a championship run so very very different like the same of getting LeBron James and Anthony Davis no you got a 39 year old it’s is it’s it’s like Lakers getting uh last year wimy compared to the threee [ __ ] that P Ry got no yeah what I’m saying is it’s like it’s like J JJ coming in last year the Lakers win the championship they fire that [ __ ] and then on JJ’s first year they get goddamn wimy and then they win a championship and then they lose it the next year and then the very next year they get James Worthy right like like come on guy you get you get wimy J you get wimy [ __ ] number one pick why you still have Young Mat um Kareem so are you saying that this Lakers roster is not comparable to the the early Showtime ER the greatest player of all time he’s old though Rashad excuse me still thriving is he old yeah he’s old Oh by americ he he old now got great hair what about Anthony Davis though he’s aging see is he generational Talent huh is Anthony Davis a generational Talent very good basketball player if they still calling him generational talent that means he ain’t proved nothing yet he just paid he just 250 didn’t he just get 250 I think three or 183 is around

out of shape wait how would he know he was D he was there like I said he told him he was a consultant he was there like I said yeah he came they had a whole little conversation he like man no he didn’t came there train he was there in training C [ __ ] he did he went on the podcast and told the story bro I told you he was there in training camp he was there do rivers did did say that uh Dame came in out of shape this season that Dame told him he didn’t work out all summer man he told him in training camp I tried to tell y’all he was in training camp nasty work man so that’s why I said you you in there in training camp with the plays and the you you know your team and you come out here this [ __ ] 19 and SE get the [ __ ] out of here supposed to know exactly what and then at the end of the year say he came in like like that was the reason why they lost you got to make up a narrative man no you can just shut the [ __ ] up cuz no one asks you no one cares what I’m saying is w w like d we already looking at your sideways we already we already already sitting here like how you get here right so now you want to tell us about somebody what what did you do in training camp huh what was your preparation were you in shape was you mentally in shape when you came here in the season he was he can’t wait another productive day deals Arena presented by under fantasy so we asked the chat is it obvious 76% say yes so it is OB I love yall has come through before we move on from this uh JJ reic Lakers talk uh Gil you were on the court for JJ reck’s Only career dunk yeah facts this is facts so would you mind telling us that story damn um I shot one of the only jumpers that I’m allowed to shoot when I was in the game cuz I I I noticed like whenever I got hot I got subbed out so I stayed longer when I didn’t shoot and didn’t turn the ball over so wait what team was this Orlando okay so like if I hit three in a row if I didn’t take no shots I played so it was one of it was one of those times real sh no no that’s Corner boy [ __ ] I’m swear to God that’s a real thing if you get too hot with the guys in front of you is playing well it it prompts the coast they have to leave you in but you take your ass out cuz if you wasn’t shooting if I didn’t shoot or didn’t turn the ball over my stats was basically 000000 0 I’m playing like six seven minutes if I go in there in early three quick baskets too much burn too much sauce doing too much doing too much Gilbert we out Gilbert you’re doing way too much one of those jumpers like ah shot that and then uh missed it bounced to him he went down Baseline I think dunked it so you were responsible for JJ like it was like it was like a off the rim pass it was like hockey assist I’m not trying to make this I want to St in the game I’m not trying to make it so that’s so weird follow up to that question Gil uh what no how they did like just like if you got hot I got to come out the game but you only out there so you have what nine points in s minutes no no no no maybe three minutes three minutes yeah bang bang bang bro timeout they call a Timeout on other team play there was a playoff there was a playoff series I came in like you know how you come in like the end like like the end of the first end of the first half right scor two buckets boom boom boom I was second leading scorer on the team didn’t play only play three minutes bro it’s a it’s a serious thing bro because there was the reason what is this it was it was it was a reason like when I first got there I was playing okay and I was doing very well with was a nine game winning streak right and I was balling and then that question if who’s going to start are you going to start him yet between me and J Nelson so one of those conflict of interest this his guy and I don’t think he wanted that to make any type of decision so anytime I got the really going sub him out already made mind so unless so the only time I really got minutes is if somebody was actually injured y so if you go back and look at like after after like the first like let’s say 20 games and moving forward anytime I had like 20s something mhm uh the starting shooting guard or the the second shooting guard was gone yep so like Jr Jason Richardson got suspended or he didn’t play right so he had to play me dub so imagine how many D playoff game Jr J J Rich got suspended for him in uh Zaza patulia so he got to play me Dub yep scored scored 20 I get next game played four five minutes the value go up more your value go up when you in the game with another [ __ ] not they got to look at you like we don’t want to make get that dump yeah but see that’s why they have to tell you oh there’s the playoff too see yeah you see like that like oh D pass it to oh this in the play oh this in the playoffs you got to make that G I know agent one I think did I I might have had 20 I might have had 20 this game but you was still cooking back you was still cooking with this one right here this this Gilbert was still cooking I remember this remember cooking no I’m be honest I’m be honest he broke no man he broke me before this or after this be this is the playoffs so before this huh before this you was already thinking twice and all that [ __ ] yeah yeah yeah I could see because here like let me see because it was one of those things where I come in for a minute come out it that’s why we said stay ready that’s why they going to tell you just stay ready but that’s the old school the old school coach with old with the prime Talent he didn’t know how to mitigate how to how to B use them right so he was clashing you can’t pull gilbertt arena in and out of the game right when he still got talent to give you 20 right like so like if a player was missing like I’m playing like 16 minutes 20 minutes somebody not playing 43 minutes 45 minutes heavy minutes y yeah last two hell yeah he can’t s me out nine for 14 he couldn’t take me out then so them other the other minutes you thinking twice cuz you like man I don’t know I don’t know what he on today like like uh my first game against Atlanta I was second leading scorer with uh with six second leading score second leading score behind Dwight Howard with six points Off the Bench Off the Bench next game uh 6 minutes one shot didn’t play game three game four um J Rich went down yeah J Rich got suspended I had 20 damn I believe that was the dunk was in game six game six yes I I played 18 minutes damn 20 points important six points get to it get to it get to it so speaking of JJ uh at one point in his career he was unknowingly in a one-sided beef with the greatest Laker of all time so during a recent episode of his 700 p.m. in Brooklyn show Melo broke down how Kobe went at reic during Team USA trials back in 2008 and the motivation behind it and I remember Cole couldn’t stand JJ rdit so he coming to practice I hope somebody vouch for me on this story I swear if everybody who’s on that they know you know people know they might have their own ver but people know the mor of the story is Cole took it personal against JJ reick in in practice because he got tired of Coach K kept talking about JJ Reit right Co took it very very personal to the point where he was running through screens and practice he was denying JJ the ball he was filing the out JJ I’m like damn why you treating a young boy like that I’m like what’s the problem exactly how he what’s the problem Coach K keep talking about this he come up here to do something this I’mma show you the DAT this let JJ R score facts [ __ ] I’m G to play that [ __ ] W play that [ __ ] rest in peace Bean rest in peace mental that is that Mamba mentality get them Country Boys nothing so bring me to my question did you ever have a personal beef with a player that they didn’t know about or anybody you weren’t rocking with but they didn’t even know it that you can share on this show I don’t want to create any situations for you guys I mean mine was I mean mine was I say it public mine was uh Jay will it was Jay will cuz um at the end of my rookie season right I finished I started you know rookie uh got rookie in a month you know was you know bowled out the you know last you know month and a half of the season so I’m thinking you know coming to the next season I’ll be a starter and they basically said you know they’re they’re hoping to get the number two pick so they can get Jason Williams right and then you know like so is he going to be starting like yeah he’s going to be number two pick in the NBA Draft so I’m sitting there like but what if he can’t beat me out he’s the number two pick in the NBA draft you’re going to be worth two 300,000 you’re going to be the backup and that that there fied me to just stay in in um Oakland and just train and train be be there show them you know it’s about to be War right so um when it didn’t draft him and we played against Chicago um I think that first game I had a double double on him but I was going at his head and I remember he asked D le yo is is is he is is he mad at me but that’s how angry I was like this is is he mad like I just I just you know what time it is do no but that but think about it if a player another player sense it you know I was on demon time for sure no for sure for sure right you know I I was on like yo when we watching him we like we he do not [ __ ] with yeah like he like yo what’s wrong with him he certain moves certain like after a shot it’s like oh he don’t yeah yeah he like give me the ball like it had nothing to do with him I didn’t know him personally but just the thought it was just that thought that that they put in my head that if he did come here I just automatically put on the bench and I’m like no n that’s not how we that’s not how we get down Rashad did you ever have a personal beef with a player they didn’t know about nah you you rocked with everybody I did I didn’t have no I didn’t have no problems with nobody whoever had problems with me that’s when they got problems I ain’t really had no nobody that I needed to attack that I like looked at it was like yeah I don’t like this [ __ ] because of that no I just feel like everybody was dog food everybody was dog food to me it didn’t matter Cemetery Larry man I’m trying to kill everybody no friends brand did you ever have a personal beef with a player they didn’t know about personal we know it we heard it we heard it we heard it but other than that though n like like R said think the new we got new subscribers though they want to hear who it is this has been last year we have grown substantially uh yeah they need to hear it they need to they need to hear it we have grown come man we we going be in Vegas no they need to hear it [ __ ] Brandon man of God bring his his Laker man of God bring his Laker loyalty back man of God returning homey work who is it what who is it oh yeah all the new Subs of the show y’all got to go back he said Chris PA is that what you said Chris Paul but that makes sense you know with Kobe is you’re biging up someone who’s not even not even one good enough to be on this team I think it’s second year player at that point mean you’re not good enough to be on this team and the fact that you put him on the team and then you’re using him as a standard of something right you know what I mean like think about it it’s Kobe [ __ ] Brian 08 and you over here talking about what JJ’s work EIC how great JJ was the [ __ ] you wait like I’m talking about we you didn’t say like Michael Jordan goddamn it you said JJ R I can see how that canally piss somebody off yeah right to the fact that he got to show you as a coach how how we’re not even on the same Planet he’s not even going to score he’s not going to score he’s not going to touch the ball just to prove a point to show you he’s not even on this level yet and probably would never be on this level and that that happens that happens too I mean sometimes you got to pop out and show [ __ ] hey you know hey hey no no you know um man you was talking about like competition not not really like a personal but it was he always had like a side eye Tariq Evans like Tariq Evans was like cuz we came out of high school together like one and two like one in one neck and then I remember he got like the McDonald’s All-American Game uh MVP and then he got rookie of the year like that [ __ ] used to just piss me off you had like 10 or 12 assists in that game in that McDonald’s game but you still dapping him up though yeah no for sure for sure you really [ __ ] with him no no no no noop moving I didn’t f it was just that you st doing that that’s a different that’s a different one though that’s competition yeah yeah like it was compet it was just one of them like but it was still just like n like he he pushed me though way it was more like push the ones that the ones that we we really get irritated is when the a coach or someone else is biging up somebody else I guess I’m lying then I’m lying then I’m lying thank you Rashad what’s the [ __ ] name what’s the [ __ ] name LeBron LeBron James oh oh yeah yeah that that man I forgot I don’t know how I forgot I don’t know how man personal be man it wasn’t personal that’s the whole story oh just competition when you see a [ __ ] you just automatically Crown up just see a [ __ ] automatically smell different in here what the [ __ ] this [ __ ] doing in here you guys cross path why y’all want to talk about this [ __ ] all but no no but listen listen [ __ ] that [ __ ] that that what what would be funny is our whole chat will say Dan that’s Petty or bum bum bum ego and then you ask them why you don’t like let’s say Drake or why you don’t like Kendrick they never met this person personally but they don’t like them right and that’s just human nature we find a reason why we we don’t mess with people it don’t matter but a lot of but a lot of it is what our competition though that’s why cuz we want to be is not like yo I hate him I want I want him to die it’s just more on some saying his name so much man I don’t like the way dress I don’t like the way you walk I don’t like the way you talk yeah like ours

lit don’t even worry about it cool talked about LeBron JJ reick will be the next Lakers head coach four-year deal draft is less than a weeken way and one of the most interesting story lines to monitor is which team will end up drafting bronnie uh so far bronnie is only worked off with the Lakers and Suns despite numerous other teams inviting him to do pre-draft workouts been plenty of speculation that teams will try to draft Ronnie and attempt to persuade LeBron to leave the Lakers with the four-time MVP expected to opt out of the final year of his deal so in a recent interview with ESPN LeBron and brony’s agent Rich Paul addressed some of the speculations surrounding Bron’s draft status and LeBron’s desire to play with his eldest son in the league saying quote LeBron is off this idea of having to play with Brony if he does he does but if he doesn’t he doesn’t There’s No Deal made made that it’s guaranteed that if the Lakers draft Brony at 55 LeBron will resign if that was the case I would force him to take him at 17 we don’t need leverage the Lakers can draft bronnie and LeBron doesn’t resign LeBron is also not going to Phoenix for a minimum deal we can squash that now there were some reports that the sons may try to grab them really they don’t have no bread so grab the son grab bronnie to make that would be nasty anyway LeBron I LeBron just stay right here man so but Paul also said that the wolves Ms and Raptors are interested in drafting bnie depending on how the draft shakes out he said who the Wolves uh Mavs and Raptors wolves Mavs Raptors wolves yes cuz he can do what connley does in the sense of play D get the ball to Ant-Man hit an open shot right you don’t have to be traditional point right and very athletic guard so that can work you know let him get molded um Toronto that’s not happening um M you Jer not rocking with that’s not he’s not going out you not he’s not going out of this well in light of uh juneth may not be safe for him and what else and what was what was the last one uh the maths no you don’t think he need to work out with more teams no I’m just saying the MS you got Kyrie over there you got Hardy over there you got so many young guys that he not going to play the first two years it’s cool he feel Teran go against Josh Green for that spot Josh Green really there in front of Hardy wait what you mean he not going to play the first wait you don’t think he going to touch the NBA court at all bronnie yeah his first year n depends on the team nah I think that that’s what they expect and that’s why they don’t want to do a two-way contract cuz they going to send him down there anyway no listen listen listen listen bronnie James Jr will be touching the NBA floor this year I would never I mean as an organization like is he better than immani Bates no different Talent so why so why would immani Bates not see the floor at all because no no no because they stupid yeah that that’s different every team in the NBA would have took the same different same approach with that situation just because of the history and all that dumb [ __ ] it’s dumb we agree it’s dumb immani B got G but bronnie is not close to immani as far as that type of game and never seen that’s what I’m saying but but you you can’t you can’t use that because you know just Cleveland Cavaliers is just they’re two different they what I’m saying is they’re ignorant of what Talon is right you’re talking about a Gatorade player of the year he showed you in training camp he showed you in pre-season what he’s capable of he’s a high level type of score that you can’t teach we brought in two guys that already under contract ning and and and Max stru both came in and and then they was okoro was supposed to have that spot that Bates they drafted Bates into they was trying to work okoro in already so the spot that he was trying to get they bring in two more [ __ ] in his same position and pushed him down my same position what 69 23 he 69 two three versus this [ __ ] 639 atic 65 both I think stru and streu and uh naing whatever name is I think they like 66 yeah that’s what I’m saying so I’m keeping I’m I’m I’m keeping I’m what I’m saying ising ning linging what I’m saying is but I’m I’m keeping people I’m keeping talents on my team that’s not actually part of the future right these guys so I would have I would have never sent him to the the G League to do what you’re talking about baits right baits to get trained by who exactly to get to get some plan time [ __ ] plan time I I want to keep him under this un like my talent is staying in house he needs to learn my way him going down there playing playing and learning these horrible habits and then come here then I got to break those habits then teacher I rather send send him here we can do film work ethic get his game get his timing right if he’s a volume shooter I can make him a more accurate shooter here not somewhere where he takes a Greyhound bus so is the G League a development league for the NBA or just a the middle man no it’s just it’s a hor that’s why they not going to do the TW deal with bronnie they like we’re not sending you down there with them when you could just train for a team I can go play in the G league right now and be around the team I don’t know said bronnie is not signing a two-way deal under any c not not but that’s that’s taken away from them being able to send him down there right away so if he going to be there any team he going to be on he going to be with that team for two years not playing not it’s going to be a strictly development it all dep do it all depends right we we can we can project what we think is going to happen but you know what I mean between his his the the last game we’ seen him and now two different people of course right you know the kid sitting he goes to the gym at 8 and leaves at three who he going to play over on any team what I’m saying is but think about it from if he’s sitting there 8 to three every single day he has not missed a day of working out right the body’s different the mind is different so what happens is when this person goes in a training camp we don’t we don’t know what he’s going to be right we’ve seen some people that we thought was trash and then they get into the NBA and like damn how’s he playing but the one thing we do know is he’s not going to have experience he can be excelled in his skill set he can be excelled in in in in working out and being in condition but the one thing we know about you is you don’t know enough about the game to come in and make an impact cuz you don’t have any experience but we got to say but all we can tell is when training camp start I mean not when when preseason starts or uh summer league summer league right you see what the summer league give us a good it be good T first of all they’re not having Vegas and summer league without Bron they have to but like they have to they have to what to have summer league for bronnie what team no I’m saying yeah it’s going to be cracking we might have to actually go to some games you know who else is going to League Gil Arena presented by underg fantasy we will be so this is the third stra summer league that’s going to be lit because well you know it’s only one going there no I’m just saying from last year lit from wmy right two weekends so Bron’s going to have it lit because we got to go see bronnie play well bronnie and then you got the USA team that’s playing when do they leave to go to right after Vegas right after Vegas right after Vegas Vegas is usually going at the same time of Summer League they’re training this year is going to be going be epic today going to be epic down year in the draft but we will have it turned up regardless when you said Phoenix Suns is it Phoenix Suns at 22 pick yeah which pick is what we talking about like when you say 17 Lakers so 17 Lakers I think uh with Rich is saying it could be first round second round I don’t think he’s saying second round at all I don’t think he’s looking at bronnie going second round but he’s saying if Bron bronnie doesn’t get picked he knows that the MAV could potentially take him take him at8 8 that’s their first opening for that the last pick of the draft okay I’m going just be honest if you’re trying to get your if you’re trying to get bronny signed he is not going the last pick of the draft oh all right he’s going to go to the Lakers at only has one pick at 2 second yeah so Phoenix is so you’re talking about a guy who’s thinking about getting picked what 17 22 then you’re throwing out 55 and 58 said it could go all my question is who do you who’s available before bronnie that you could potentially pick that you’re not picking for promo marketing or trying to get LeBron who can you actually pick before brownie that’s at 17 I know and that’s 17 and Lakers if you don’t got 16 other guys that you would pick in front of him you and that’s what I’m saying show me 16 I mean show me the draft they said the draft is weak so him going 55 I don’t see that I like I think it’s going to be way earlier than that than what people think let see cuz I don’t I mean show show me like 16 17 guys that’s better than in the draft let me see who they got at 17 like I know what they what they showing but show me the guys got to show me the guys that’s I don’t even know the top five picks right now Ed Edie not going Lottery far Clingan has been mentioned in that mix like we don’t even know the top five picks like it’s a weak it’s a weak draft weak is the is the big boy from duke out did he come out the big boy who oh kiny filipowski let me look at the mock draft right now yeah look at that mock like me I’m going by I you know I’m going by at that point you’re talking about age you’re talking about guys that are one or two year removed one two they got that six they got 66 to 69ine Long linky type of not proven though that’s the one thing that you don’t get they won twoyear removed from college they didn’t really dominate these are all guys jumping out like all right I feel like I got a chance these ain’t proven Guys these ain’t guys to we know we can just draft him and he going to give us this even a kid from Yukon a castle kid like he got great potential but he ain’t no dominant player I don’t think nobody I don’t think nobody is in this no what I’m saying is when you’re talking about dominant players big kid from Tennessee I like him white boy neck whatever it is he he’s dominant like dominant but when you’re talking about the first draft picks think about the teams right yep those teams young teams those teams are just young right so you’re trying to figure out how to act to it and get a young that’s the bad part about the whole leag and that’s what people don’t understand when we’re talking about getting a uh Zack was it Zach Ed yeah you’re putting him on he’s going to be the oldest dude on the team on a team that’s gonna just he’s going to be the the the least experienced but he’s going to be the oldest player they’re not going to respect him yeah right you know I mean if he went to it if he went to a younger team yeah so he has to go to a veteran team he definitely does right so now when you’re talking about now you’re talking about teens the 20s yep right so you know that’s Miami you’re talking about a Miami type of team it’s like Wiman went went to the Warriors young player on the older team doesn’t fit because it doesn’t cater around him see that was a he goes to a younger team he fits right in he gets the ball all the time and now what now what rich said was important to that draft [Applause] pick what end up happening is a team got hurt the whole year it’s like the San Antonio Spurs when they got Duncan a great team got hurt and fell into the lottery right they get the number two pick in the draft but everybody’s coming back yep so if you are projected number two you got to really say I this is not the team I want to go on facts because you’re not getting no burn you’re not getting no burn on this team OA for and and Detroit I don’t want to go on a team where you got damn near Hall of Famers at the same position where do I play not mimic uh what was his name MIM mil dark dark yeah thanks that’s what I’m saying Darko the Pistons if Dwayne Wade went there he sitting behind rip yep if when people say if we would have had Melo Melo split time with taan with taan it was a defensive it was a defense uh mindset on that team at that time so Melo all offense wouldn’t know works for them so when people say he would have took it now over time he’s a whole different CU they know how to they know how to protect him too not a selfish is not in so now he doesn’t become this really Elite score because he’s he’s built a team but in his pocket but does he he would still be Mello in his pocket but he wouldn’t he would have protection defensively cuz remember Melo came from zone defense he wasn’t playing no defense but he comes into a defensive team where he don’t got to play I could just go get bucket no that’s not how that’s not how that’s not how after a while I think after out he starts but like you saying they’re not going to make him the the focal point of the offense but he’ll be a better taan Prince a better shot maker a Creator a driver they didn’t never have that they uh Detroit never had a driver a slasher somebody who can play in the post and chrisos Chris BOS they all get they they all become to because the team already is structure like that so when you’re talking about the NBA draft and you’re a young kid it’s not always about where you go I mean it’s not about when where you go it’s where you go yeah facts like even like even people don’t even see this loophole that Boston did right you know how they have this thing with Jason Tatum and Jason uh Jaylen Brown you got Philly Lakers Boston right and Boston on the third pick they got Jaylen and Tatum right and then it showed that the number one pick both those both those end up being like kind of like bus not really because um Ben Simmons is not a bus right um people don’t realize Tatum was going to Boston no matter what Boston had the number one pick in that draft Tatum was the guy they wanted right so what they did was they just tricked Philly and say hey we’ll give you the number one pick since you guys want a guard you want fols right so give us something we’ll give you the number one pick because fols might go to Lakers at too yeah right so I give you I trade it because I know you guys can’t draft here because one one of you guys got Ben Simmons already so you’re not picking him you’re picking a guard Lakers you already have Ingram so you need a guard so you’re not picking Tatum so no matter what I do I’m going to get Tatum I’m going to get the guy I want so I’ll give you this pick and trick you give me some of these other draft picks later on and that’s what that’s what Boston did get the same player think about Boston’s team before Kyrie and what that looked like it in the it years they still had draft picks from the the Kevin Garnett trade yeah the Kevin Garnett trade gave them future draft gave those two those two picks yeah but that’s why I said that draft pick was number one and all they did was just manipulate Philly out of you know they just manipulate Philly out of some stuff we can’t say they was tanking to get it but I think that just their losing skid that they had after they won the championship up until they got Tatum was like all right you didn’t expect to get it I don’t know if that was a trade for them but that was something that was surpr it was a surprise cuz it wasn’t he wasn’t that guy till he got there yeah no like it was no different than like a Brunson yeah coming out of nowhere you know he’s good but he’s not in our plans and then he goes over there and then it’s like oh [ __ ] I got all I got all the pieces I need for me to be balling fact BR where you go say yo um yo we was talking about Melo right Melo getting drafted to Detroit do we look at melo’s career differently or or okay if Melo goes to Detroit Pistons um does he become a better better player than LeBron James no why because or or or is the resume because he won’t have the he will not have the resume that he has now he will do he still win do he win championship Championship still he has a champ we can we can say the way that team was built you add his talent coming off the bench as a six-man maybe playing 20 25 minutes on that team he becomes a champion okay right so he will have a championship but he’s not leading the league and scoring and doing all those first team stuff because he has four Bonafide players that is that sacrific for each other but at what year does he Exel pass the Detroit Pistons remember the Detroit Pistons disintegrated about 07 so after 07 it’s going to be melo’s team so from 07 to 2015 we’re looking at a whole different Detroit but what I’m saying is now think about what I’m think about it like this we don’t know if they break up with you have a young star in there right right so we cuz they broke out with broke up without one but now you don’t make the trade to Denver for CH and and all you don’t make you don’t make those trades you don’t need it because you don’t need it because you already have the component so the team it looks different but let’s say they do get traded right now you have Melo who’s already a champion probably not all NBA player yet now he’s going to play selfish basketball now he gets to be mellow within his fourth year fifth year now trying to be Melo as a rookie or or does this catapult Melo to win in multiple championships within the same Dynamic where he won in ‘ 04 we win in ‘ 06 we win in ‘ 07 I got three championships and I’m mellow now you’re that’s saying you keep you’re not mow I’m not that mellow I’m not that mellow I’m Tony Parker janob type Melo where I got four championships I’m averaging about 20 21 a game no for sure what do you mean no 2021 what do you mean with no rip no rip no no T shine you’re getting rid of them now see no but they they’re going to pass on cuz they passed on at that I’m saying is if you’re if you’re trying to win four championships you’re talking about the same structure of the team because they don’t leave any but if what but if you’re moving them that means you’re team is bad no let’s say let’s Okay we kept him we kept him till about 09 okay right we wi at 04 y we keep him for another five years we win two more in that time frame so you got three championships and I’m only averaging 20 a game you’re not on 1 15 17 that’s all and I’m but I’m mellow you’re not mellow I am and my skill set my stats are not mellow my my Denver my my my skill set is still mine sh he probably he probably way broo at 20 a game three Championship you’re you’re Joby or Tony Parker that’s no not not Carmelo Anthony and he getting finals and getting Finals MVP you’re not even no you don’t what do you mean because you’re not the focal point of offense you’re but I’m mow and we surpassed we surpassed the old guys T and is their team we get it what I’m saying say my [ __ ] now you’re trying to take his skill set that was created no you’re you’re changing what I’m saying is you’re trying to take you’re trying to take him averaging 20 in the offense that was called you’re spreading it it was it was a offense for them the three man wasn’t even a part of this offense right so they have to create some type of plays for him other than that you’re trying to take his one-on-one style that he developed there because it was his team by himself so now we need to one-on-one isol this is what he’s good at here he has to learn how to play Detroit basketball which is what which is coming off screens hit sh average 20 a game bro this is Melo inserting himself as Richard Hamilton now I can come off pin down I can pop back we’re we’re he’s Richard Hamilton this is for the shooting the thre man was not a part of that coach’s Flip Saunders off Larry BR lar it was taan had ice in the post bro they used to drop it to taan for the mismatch he 6 he not averaging 20 is you’re trying to give so it’s between R and T he gets those he gets those he’s going to get 20 from those two he don’t even have the time to score 20 but that’s what I’m saying even if you’re trying to give him 20 dog you’re trying to talk 20 with 30 minutes at most back then in the offense that was spread but he’s now starting but he’s now starting he’s no longer Prince then my my cuz he love coach love prince prince is still playing 20 something minutes but he’s no the starter and the focal point now that we’ve won the 04 Championship we won it that was y’all [ __ ] I’m Melo I’m here now rookie year I might have average 13 14 15 points to help y’all win it cool next year come I’m at 19 M next year come I’m at 20 21 it’s my third year I’m in this [ __ ] now taan and them y’all know who team it is now right it’s I’m Meo I’m Meo right by 0809 it’s it’s my talking about six so six years the same amount as Brian right so so six now six years of mellow and something that so he breaking out to be three championships three championships with no stats yet no real stat don’t need no stats he still mellow he probably getting Finals MVP for sure for sure he’s walking away with the finals makes him if you a third fourth option on the team but no he’s we only thinking you’re only thinking about Melo because you know who Melo was when he was younger so you’re talking about a guy it’s the evolution of that team the Detroit P so you’re taking away early mellow 26 a game 29 a game year three or four uh year three 25 26 28 so we just Tak points we’re taking away four or five points from Denver you being ISO Centric to come over here and win and only average 21 taking away all you’re taking away all all all NBA teams no or not so now he has now when his team goes bad now he has to be a selfish guy no bro he’s just a winner now he’s won three titles decreasing his scoring I’m pretty sure if you asked him he would say yeah of course IID do that yeah because you’re getting you’re asking him that but you have to be real you still have to be realistic of how the team was set what style they were playing versus the style he was playing you’re talking about a guy who’s as a rookie got to play on a team that was bad to average 21 points who was the coach which one Detroit it was Larry Brown Larry Brown Larry Brown doe for alen Iverson but Larry Brown famously did not play rookies did not play rookies of course which is why he wouldn’t have played that 0 four year the 04 year he would have been a you a bench player us him right I’m saying after that down the line when Allan Iverson got with Larry Brown he forged the whole offense around his star player that would have been the same thing the same one who wanted to keep trading the same player but he didn’t have no other talent to mask it now Larry Brown has talent he has a Chanty he has a been Wallace he has yeah Larry Brown was trying to trade Alan Iverson the whole time Ellen Ivers was there say he’s not a team player but he had nobody else to go on so now I have a team he created the whole offense around Allen because he had what he had I got to do the best with what I got what I’m saying Larry Brown seeing Melo look if Melo excels beyond what we we created we have to now fter what what I’m saying is he would have never got that opportunity just like Darko didn’t if you ask how good was Darko dark he said Darko was talented but he wasn’t mellow but he wasn’t not we don’t know he wasn’t mellow we don’t know what he was we know he wasn’t what I do know is I’m Larry Brown and I don’t [ __ ] with rookies I [ __ ] with proven players which was taan Prince so now tesan is getting these 36 37 minutes so how long before you break in with years two years two years so that means by year three I will win another championship under my [ __ ] skill set it’s not your skill set you’re not even you’re not even a focal point yet right that’s why I said year three year three I’ll be the focal point I’ve won over my spot I’m now the starting three guard for the Detroit Pistons we’re running for the finals for the third straight year and I’m about to take a team over the top and it’s going to be my team that’s Melo for sure that’s melow for and then every year from that point forward taesan Prince and them can move the [ __ ] around but that’s what I’m saying but not but you’re not looking at it like this they won three championships once they’re gone now the team is so bad now he becomes 293 Point mellow if they don’t make no decisions to bring other people in all that other [ __ ] he’s just not going to be left by himself but I get it I get what you said I think I think Melo Legacy is better if you go to uh Detroit I do too whatever take them for he becomes what he said he was chasing the whole time what he chasing well he’s been chasing up until I mean he’s still a Hall of Fame still had a what has he been chasing a ring a [ __ ] ring so if you don’t won three and you steal you stop that’s what say you can’t give them both because him being him is created because there was nobody there there’s nobody there so he gets to create which we know now we get to create an ISO guy who got to who got to work through his all his problems there was no sub and mellow out so he gets to really Dominate and then I got to create the offense for him you put them on Detroit Pistons you put him like WIS men this off office is not for you homeboy this office is for curry and Clay you fit in where you get in 3 years later ah you didn’t fit in h the [ __ ] on out of here so do you think the Melo we seen in Denver was the Melo who was just supposed to be do you think that melo’s game would have been able to mesh anywhere he went you think that Denver was a place where he can do whatever the [ __ ] he wanted to do cuz they had nobody right but if he goes to any other team you don’t think his game would have just been me like mellow being Mellow Me me saying mellow being mellow is the Mellow I seen in high school the McDonald’s allamerican game that was the Mellow I was like hey this [ __ ] can it don’t matter where he play he’s going to do this this is his game his game is this so him going to Denver to not have nobody to answer to yeah it made it better yeah because he was already a point guard and a 68 body right so him going there to be able to do his [ __ ] was cool but him going to Detroit would have been a three-man playing a point forward position and being able to score I know one thing it would been I know one thing taan Prince would have to show up every [ __ ] prti the team was the team Ronald Ronald was was their secondary you’re not you’re not thinking about the coach himself right I don’t want this man I don’t want a selfish player on my team that thinks about offense I don’t want a jam I want pure defense this team is defense and we share offense right our thing was we’re going to hold everybody to 60 75 points that was our mindset so the Mellow that we know now would have been different it wouldn’t have been what we have we we don’t know if this mellow that we know this pure Bonafide scoring machine right like James Harden James Harden in Houston is not the same James Harden that was OKC and that’s what and that’s and that’s what we’re saying though like he would have been the the same way Jam that’s how Mel would have been hard wrong way it’s backwards James Harden in Houston had nobody so he get the mold whoever he want James Harden and OKC had to conform to everybody else so that would have been Melo Melo would have been OK M James hard Melo and and Denver you and and James Harden and Houston are both you think selfish players they’re they’re scoring players the the the the their responsibility was different they were I need you to score 30 for us to win okay so changing their Dynamic of the teams they’re on now Clippers hard on Clippers now and putting um well okay just on the Clippers now just James Harden on the Clippers now can’t do that him being in Houston being selfish right him being right now adjusting his game to being a team player you don’t think could do the same thing from Denver to if he was with Detroit still be effective with Detroit first with Detroit first and then and then go to Denver I don’t think Melo and Denver was a selfish I don’t think he was a selfish player I think that he just had a responsibility to be the guy that’s what I’m saying you’re saying exactly what I’m saying so but in Detroit he would he would he would just be relegated being AER so basically he would be James Harden now no that’s what you said he would be he would be better we don’t he would better than James Harden now what I’m saying is you it’s it’s the young version so James Harden now has already we’re talking about James Harden and OKC so we have that that’s the only thing we can give OKC James Harden was very different than the James Harden that said this team is yours by yourself this team here is Kevin Durant we already have this establish that what I’m saying about he would have been James Harden I mean Jame the James Harden that was OKC that’s who melow would have been for Detroit would have been able to Exel so when he would have got to the third year think about James Harden not leaving though Gil think about James Harden not leaving right he doesn’t go to Houston do they win do do do OKC win does James Harden and OKC become a MVP a scoring champ a no because he already has people in front of him so he is James Harden in OKC he’s a ro one no one’s in front of he’s a role player coming in as a role player heed a ro player James Harden would have would have been James Harden in Houston Melo and James Harden in Houston is the same Melo and Denver is James Harden and Houston right they have a team by themselves they get to do whatever the [ __ ] they want you put Melo in Detroit and you put James Harden keep him on OKC they’re not the versions they’re not this version this [ __ ] right here that’s not him we know that but that’s what we’re saying he might be a winner but he’s not the MVP he’s not the scoring champ that we know but that’s not saying that his skill set is not that Gil you’re just saying the accomplishment is that you’re just saying him winning those accolades of course they’re not going to happen but that skill set that he expl he displayed with OKC coming off the bench that [ __ ] was cold it was the same [ __ ] we seen in Houston mow Melo for for 16 he would be cold he was a cold 16 it’s a cold 16 point but he would have started after a while though he wouldn’t contined to go come off the start all you want he would have started you can start all you want but you still have to remember there’s a Kevin Durant on this team and the OKC and when you think about it Westbrook becomes Westbrook why why W don’t be Westbrook don’t be come that if James is still there EXA why Westbrook don’t become come that if Kevin Durant is there yes he becomes a triple double 30 111 he was already the double double guy does he become he would have been a triple double he wouldn’t have been a triple double guy but he would have still been Westbrook it’s not the Westbrook you identifying with is a triple double Westbrook not the Westbrook I’m identifying with was the one with OKC with them together he was way more Dynamic he was way more powerful when they was just it was them three and they had to figure it out between the three of them it was like yo these [ __ ] are cold out here these [ __ ] are cold but these [ __ ] is not Hall of Fame Bonafide Hall of Famer Bonafide MVP bonafide champ Bonafide history makers because stat because together they’re what diluting each other so the only don’t add up they’re not deluding anything the stats don’t add up for the Hall of Fame resume but the actual skills are there it’s meaningless why because the skills is meaningless without St skills are meaningless without St you can have all the Cod of stat but all the coldest skills in the world but if you’re not getting the game it don’t matter if you’re not being able to do it on a very like 30 4 so that James hard and that doom doom doom we don’t ever get to see that’s a great conversation we should respond on that yeah that we will extend it out this summer but that was a great one I think it’s the same I think OKC James Harden and Detroit are useless and worthless Detroit it’s the same I’m saying it’s the same that’s just that’s just a third option role play he’s saying if your skill set don’t mean [ __ ] if you don’t got the stat but you I think the opportunity right now if he’s not playing 35 40 minutes he’s not playing 35 minutes shooting the ball 30 sometimes been able to do whatever he wants saying your skill set is meaningless and useless if they can’t be backed by stats so we got to we got to keep this thing moving Gil your shoe is untied again the Ghost came through but I think I figured it out you rub your feet together good when you get super excited and you force your shoe to untie is not a ghost ladies and gentlemen but we do have some some but said think about Co right the three championships what was Co what was Co really seeking I need to show y’all who I really am and I can’t show y’all who I really am if the offense is designed to give the ball to Shaquille O’Neal right so when Shaquille leaves now we get to see the full version of what a Mamba mentality was see if we don’t get to see that if if if Shaq and them still trying to build championships listen I’m sorry I think mow starts in Detroit I got to keep going we got we got some more breaking news uh Rich Paul came back to the arena for an exclusive

days we’ll be monitoring the group the actual picks or the players that we pick the draft order pick the draft order pick draft order pick the number why would you so each gym will have their own draft I give you like two for six and like seven or or like but this is based on what we see on the board like we pick anybody right cu the greatest right so it don’t it don’t yeah it’s all players but we know that techological here GS Arena present is not going to be there if I got six I got six well why I’m not going to trade my six for 12 cuz I know I know who’s gone yeah but we don’t I mean we know who could be potentially be gone at one through five could I mean but remember this is everybody so this back in the day you can go J Jordan said Bill Russell you can you know it’s a lot of Bill Russell next rule no doooo smearing what’s the next rule so we all have our I think that’s all the rules you said we have our own so each gym will have their own draft war room and fans you at home we get to vote for who has the best roster draft War rooms also we’re not here you get three minutes per pick Gil three minutes per pick just like the draft after the pick the GS will be allowed to yo can I bring some of my assistants like my assistant GMS and stuff so I can okay cool I got free to bring a oh this [ __ ] can beo Brandon Russ Brandon Russell come on my [ __ ] redo Brown my [ __ ] we about to get in the War Room 28 29 shout out to a bir move around podcast the move around podcast can have his very own war room yeah oh yeah let’s get it oh yeah ring your boys oh yeah we going to sit in there and have it like a little clock the [ __ ] have their glasses on who you got man yo what you think what you doing man did you Scout him did you go look at him we’ll see who has the best scouting team I start off good I’m firing my scouting team you start off on on fire but I yeah I know it got it get tricky you going to have to wait and see what a long I got to wait a long time that’s just like on the video game fantasy once the top 10 picks go you looking around like ah I got to get this I don’t get to finish my start I I don’t get to finish my starting five to 21 it’s a cold game grab a sweater GI that’s crazy that’s after 12 right huh 12 then 21 your last one is 12 12 then 21 yeah that’s crazy unless you can a lot of talent threaten some jobs do what you got to do good in your 21 will urge to be number one so make sure y’all pull up next hey this is not as easy as you would think cuz you can’t trade up for no reason know what I’m saying is like so it’s a starting five and a bench yeah yeah so 10 players total starting five on Tuesday because like no matter what what I based on some have can that means like no matter who I get that means if I if I’m picking a a center last that Center is at pick 21 or and it’s like who top 10 siners who are the top available cers such such and such going to be gone he going to be gone he should be gone so I might be stucking with a [ __ ] like George mik or Rudy Goldberg at the center no do not take no cuz there only what four of us Ralph Samson yeah what I’m saying how you Lonzo or Muto [ __ ] AEM Keem it’s a lot of lot of big cers I got to figure out we don’t have to pick by position so let’s put that promo up oh we don’t have to next Tuesday and Wednesday June 25th and June 26th the gills Arena alltime NBA draft should that be a Ru should that be a rule picking by position no we just pick anybody right cuz we’re picking a team we’re picking team a starting five and a bench yeah so whatever you want your starting five to look like but no no no no no but that’s what I’m saying we usually draft by position no what I’m saying is if we’re drafting we can then put our own lineup together right position list no what I’m saying is like let’s say however you want to put it together okay so but because it started in the center like if I start some if I pick somebody at 29 but he mixed with the other three I can start him if I want to it’s my team I mean you can go all seven Footers if you want you can go bro cuz if we have to pick two centers you can pick whoever you want we have to pick two power forwards and we got to pick two small forward our need our needs are met because of our positions but you can pick whoever you want in the scope of basketball of course cuz it’s fantasy but the all time positions like somebody what I’m saying if somebody had Kareem Shaq uh Wilt um David Robinson Tim Duncan on first five there a no goddamn way y’all winning a game like that why you round off the rest of the roster I me I mean at the end of day the fans are voting so they going to be like move around if we talking about team we talking about your first team second team is point guard shooting guard small forward matching matching up against yours I’m matching up my team my five positions against your five positions everybody first okay so everybody first Pi got to be a point guard no no not a point guard but just feel the roster out through positions two two point guards two centers okay somebody in the chat said Travis Knight at Center what if I’m let’s say the the first my first two pick I want to pick two centers yeah yeah more I can’t pick no more cers right okay okay why can’t you do what you want to do cuz we filling it out but if you’re a bad GM you’re a bad GM that’s why you have to monitor your own roster to see what you want ah I like that point I like that but you have to start I like that point but but we’re still matching it up though got to match it up you if you pick four centers and you got to match up with Giannis jannis Curry at the guard like jannis and Alonzo at the four you may want to use jannis as your five may want to use jannis as a four you just you know but you’re still you still have a center though even if you wanted to use jannis as your Center you still got your Center’s now going you have two centers on your second team four that’s up to you I would just be here moderating as usual I’m just a host I like that I I like all of that I like I like my Adam Silver my mark tit for each round my point guard might have to be at 21 one then cuz you going to pick two of the top we’re going to see who really about it and the chat will be ready to pack you up as they always are but now let’s move on to most I can’t presented by Underdog fantasy if you have not done so already download that use promo code Gil and they will match or you can up to got three positions you can cover in your first top 10 bro you can literally cover you do higher lowers with Underdog how many Centers before you have to think about a center unless you going to pick Shaq 1.5 yeah Will so we got one question before we start our weekend let’s turn up great another great show shout out to the Lakers JJ reick took long enough kri lar shout out shout out kri Lamar they not like us you know the energy early in show I don’t know you don’t know I had Los angelinos here on this couch n n happy for their City y’all [ __ ] some really City Champions Albuquerque New Mexico y’all really from there so uh question is from Underdog user daddy MC what are the chances LeBron wins one more ring before he retires another LeBron question it’s from the chat I mean for the for the for the Legacy to like to to like cap the Legacy off that would be that would be remarkable I mean just for the legacy of everything he buil to finish on a championship so I can say maybe there’s likely he can win one more and then he retires on that at just Brandon 50/50 5050 I mean cuz he he’s still playing at a high level so if he can get the right pieces over there I mean I’m not putting nothing past it Mr Cemetery Larry Rashad MC it’s 5050 what are the chances LeBron wins one more ring before he retires what are the chances if he assembles another super team and walks to the championship game yeah what are the with the Kan with the Kane 35% 35% I like that though before we go I like 35 before we go I got a followup will that team be the Lakers hell yeah okay yeah we’re not going nowhere man yeah okay you think JJ R was going to get hired at that goddamn team if LeBron wasn’t actually coming back let’s just be honest the ultim I want to say you think goddamn it JJ reick was going to be on as a coach of this team if LeBron James wasn’t guaranteed to come back yeah that let me know right there well ultimately the question is what the hell do they look like without LeBron you you I’m going tell you you know how stupid it look cuz this will probably be some some crooked [ __ ] and is going to be tampering if it had head coach of the Lakers and LeBron James is somewhere else as a player having a podcast together that would be a legendary I don’t talk about how much sense that makes that that would be makes no sense and it’s somehow tampering and it can’t happen but if two if a coaching player has a podcast together talking about plays and what they should have did better makes for great makes for great when somebody look at you like this they got on glasses they look at you that’s great content I want to see see when JJ sit his at bench his ass or Lebron give his ass one of these and then they got to do their podcast together now that’s going to be some funny [ __ ] it remains to be seen the status of the Mind the game podcast in light of JJ reick being named the Lakers head coach but we appreciate all y’all make sure you stick around on Monday interview uh oh you think kendri got a Drake song on that album Now that’ll be cold business yes if they had it s together he wasn’t done with the roll out wait huh a feature oh with Drake if they have a feature on that goddamn out heat heat because it might have started before the beef remember if he’s been working on this album for a while it could have a song in there already just saying that’ll be some legendary [ __ ] I want to pull a pat Bev though like

McCannts you need more content on your podcast bro or you can move around bro😂
Gil put y’all teams in 2k
Bro said who is Kendrick if he don’t diss drake 🤦🏾♂️ lord educate this man ❗️
the only thing i can’t stand bout mccants is the lebron hate other then that he def makes the show !!😂💯💯
Gil knows music like Joe Budden knows sports… not at all. 😂😂😂
Gil takes been ass lately ngl
Cemetery Larry for President 😂
And yall say YT privilege doesn’t exist….shiiiiiiiiii
I hate that Gil tries to make smart sounding arguments, towards Rashad and never gets called out for being completely wrong or sounding stupid sometimes 💯
That PAC & BIGGIE shirt crazy 💯💯
McCants is the only one who be on the real spill on here talking smdh!! A damn shame the east coast gotta let the west know who reps the best….The PopOut was def LEGENDARY STATUS!! And gilbert be talking dat stupid stuff that gives the young bulls an out with the weak ass mindsets of today!! Fire J Kidd because a man don't wanna play defense is CRAZYYYY!!!! Gil be just talking sometimes!!
LmPaoo remble ain't from LA but he performed brandon just be talking
You can tell gil only listen to r&b
What are yall talking about. He obliterated the biggest rapper of all time of course it’s going to be big. Anyone who does that song will be big. Some how you flipping him making a huge hit on obliterating dude as a negative is insane hate. Kendrick was second biggest rapper period before the beef. With the beef he changed history. Stop.
To think we live a time where we can make a video everyday of convos about sports and life and get paid for it!! Gotta appreciate the times we in love to see it especially when people thought I was worthless and wouldn’t amount to anything
Whenever the talk about any other them the game, it clearly shows how much they just gamers not in the know at all!!
Gil u buggin melo was already a beast first year in the league
When non rap fanatics debate rap McCants the only real one
B.jennings a weird ass drake lover lmao nigga from LA talking bout that shit was just "cool". That was a legendary moment lmao fk drake
Ben Simmons is not a bust?! Stop smoking crack. That's todays NBA, guy can't fucking shoot and won't make a layup over Trae Young because he's petrified of going to the free throw line. This is how its done these days, the media hype some asshole with 0 talent and pay him a fortune for nothing…
McCants argument was really just "IM MELOOO"
If Melo is drafted they may not trade for Sheed
It’s 🥩 BEEF, pick a side 😂
I get it, but you gotta love the city you from getting it's just do. Common Brandon, gil I expect
Love this show. McCants and KMart are prime reasons for me. I like Gil but I swear some of what he says is complete bs. Brandon isn’t made for tv. But seems like a genuine dude that you could get along with in real life really easily. Swoops is a hater. Swaggy is funny as hell. Norris ads a ton of value. Lexi is missed. She brings a balanced energy.
But the overall composition makes for really good entertainment.
bruh if the lakers win it all next year…even if they get to the first round thats gonna be a hell of a headline😭😭😭
Dr Buss's children are one of the examples I give when people ask me why I don't want to have kids. They are not their dad 🙄
Gil sounds like someone who has no idea who Kendrick Lamar is 😂😂 Please don't talk music again
Gotta respectfully disagree Rashad; Melo is a career underachiever. This is particularly because he would rather lose and score 30 than win with 20 points. Besides that he is needs the ball to be effective, and once he lost his first step he became one dimensional.
Gil lost the Melo debate lol
They talking about Melo offense but ignoring that prince was one of their top defenders on the team
