Mccrispy.

Have you ever seen a McCrispy? How would you know how you could find the perfect bite first not knowing about that spicy McCrispy? Oh, my gosh. That's a disservice to spice lovers. In fact, it's crime if you don't know about the spicy McCrispy. It is up to us to elevate people, to educate people, to let them all know that spicy McCrispy is it. It has the golden ratio in every single bite. Sometimes the silence between McCrispy bites is just as powerful as the Bison. Bro, don't touch that McCrispy. That's my McCrispy. That's my McCrispy.

I was all about to bite shit out this time.

You can have a bite because we're friends like that. Yeah, they did. They're right on it. The golden, come Come on, bro. Every day is a McCrispy day, including today. That's my McCrispy, though. Don't go stealing my McCrispies. You know that I'm obsessed with that sandwich.

I know, man, but I got to eat this. I'm starving. Let me take it with me.

Fine. Take the McCrispy with you. I'll get my own. But from now on, you better come with your own McCrispy, especially the spicy one. Real ones know about the McCrispy. Taste it for yourself today. We loving it. The spicy McCrispy. Get one.

I'm moving on court. Okay, cool. He playing like All right, cool. Set him up. All right, shoot a bad one. You got to shoot a bad one right now. Got to shoot a bad one. Your team needs it. Okay, bring it down. Bring it down. Watch the pressure. Watch the pressure. Come off. Give him eyes. Look at him. Look at him right in the eye. Stop. Dribble again. Watch side, man. Watch side, man. But B is right there, so he just hit a three. He ain't going to help. Be aggressive. Be aggressive. Be aggressive. Space closed, space closed. Trust your work. Trust your skill.

The inner monolog is crazy.

Yeah, it's OD.

Wow. The Pap F pod with Ron. Ron. I didn't hear a fucking bell. I didn't hear a fucking bell. The fight's not over. No. They tried to call it off. You didn't call back. No. They tried to write you off. You didn't write back. No. They tried to put the nail on the coffin. You didn't nail back.

Pat Bev. And I don't know. I just want to get lost in basketball. I ain't trying to start nothing. I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm not trying to have a conversation. I'm not trying to argue. I just want to get lost in basketball. I want to have so much fun competing. I want to go out there with my team and just compete our asses off, bro. I just want to get lost in basketball, and I was able to do that tonight.

It was a special win for the Milwaukee Bucks tonight.

I'm talking about four or five inflammatory pills to play tonight, bro. Mind you, I take no medicine. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

That shit I went through that injury last game, that shit was the real thing.

I saw the injury report said oblique. Obleek.

Can't move, can't cough, can't sneeze, can't laugh, can't hand above head, can't do anything.

So how exactly did the injury happen?

I go left. I don't know if it was his elbow. I think it was Nate Smith. It was just a defensive play. You know what I'm saying? Nothing dirty. No, nothing dirty. And then He clipped me a little bit elbow, and then I fell on it. That shit. I took like four pills that game, five pills that game just to finish the game.

Just anti-inflammatories, non-souroidal anti-inflammatory? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Relax, relax, relax. No, that's what they're called. N-a-s-n-s-i-i-d, whatever they are.

Everything above, over the counter, they told me. So everything was cool. But you got to understand, I don't take Madison. I get cold, don't take Madison. I didn't take Madison or pills. I don't know. Years. You know what I'm saying?

Well, your team needs you.

I'm out there floating. Floating. I felt it. It's only supposed to last four hours, but the adrenaline, you're pumping so much adrenaline, so that's probably like a three hours. So end of the fourth quarter, I was feeling that shit. But fuck that. I'm trying to hear that shit's just a play off. It's supposed to play hurt.

It's supposed to play hurt. Straight up. Yannis has been hurt. Dame has been hurt. No, injured.

They've been injured.

Okay. What's the difference?

Injured is when you really can't move. You feel me? But if it's a little nick-knack, little wrist of mine- Chris Middleton got hurt then.

You know what I'm saying? He's back out there.

So you got to play through that shit. I comment on everybody on our team that's fighting through because it's a lot of load for everybody else. You feel me? But guys are stepping up, man. When the guys are stepping up. But a side note, this young generation, these motherfuckers are here, bro.

The guard has been passed on. No, no, no, no. It's changed.

These motherfuckers are... They was at the front door. These motherfuckers in a living room with the shoes on table.

Right.

These motherfuckers can hoop. And they have a flair of professionalism about them at a young age.

Let's talk about who you're talking about. Everybody.

All the young guys.

Obviously, you know. And Edwards, Shay, Tyrese.

You know what I'm saying? And this new generation is fucking here. It really makes you think, Hold on. I got to go in there and I got to change my summertime shit up. I got to get a little faster, a little bit more athletic, a little bit more mobile. For real. They're running. These motherfuckers is running. They is jumping. They is jumping from the free throw line, and they are fearless. Do you hear me? This new generation is fucking fearless. They don't care. It was usually a respect. They don't give a fuck. Fuck you. I'm going to dunk on you. Fuck you. I'm going to talk shit. Usually, respect the old guys. You know how... No, none of that. I'm coming at you. You this person. I'm coming at you. Oh, Kevin Durant. That's cool. I love you. I love your gang. You're my favorite pal. I'm coming at you.

Lebron Steph.

Coming at you. Pat Bill. Shit, I've been in it for ages. I'm coming at you, bro. You're supposed to be defender? Cool. I'm coming at you. So, yeah, a new generation is fucking here.

And these Pacers play so fast, too.

Extremely.

The fact that the Bucs were able to really limit a Pacers team that can run up and down the court is a testament to the effort, especially without your two All-stars.

Guys, man, I'm impressed with guys that played tonight. I'm super impressed. Got lost in basketball. You feel me? It was no extra energy put anywhere. No, the game wasn't perfect, but we got lost in the art of basketball today.

Today was fun. 23.1 plus 36.

Don't make me laugh.

I mean, there's nothing funny about it. Plus 36. I was standing there like a statue, size 34, belt in hand. It was an incredible performance for sure.

How about the Milwaukee? How about the How about our fans?

The crowd was going crazy.

It was electric in there.

The crowd was really going crazy.

It was electric in there. And it was like... Oh, man. Shout out to me, Walkie Bucks fans, bro. Fear of the Fucking Deer.

They were really out in... I mean, did you hear the fan section doing a subscribe to the pod while you're on the free throw line?

I'm locked in.

I don't hear none of that.

The fan section, what are they called? Do you know what they're called? The jockey, whatever it is, the jockey section, they're like, subscribe to the pot. I love that. Subscribe to the pot while you're on the line with that wet ass ball, bro.

What the rep was on with me.

That was a soaking wet ball.

Come on, rep.

I heard when you caught it, it was like...

I say, rep, come on, we got to do so on this ball. I touched it out. What the hell is this?

Wet ass ball, bro. That was a sneaky move that they played, but the fans were locked in. But there was an air of trepidation before the game. People were on pins and needles. Everybody He wasn't locked in. I said Bucks by 20, and there's tape of that. I said before the game, Bucks will win by 20. I was wrong. You guys went by 23.

We played well tonight. What was the conversations before the game?

No, nothing.

Nothing changed.

What does Doc say in locker room?

Not telling you that.

Okay. Secret sauce.

But from a player standpoint, nothing changed. Cameraderie was there. Guys ran yesterday working. Guys were locked in the Nothing changed.

Galanari was playing tonight.

Galanari, yeah. He played well.

I think he played really well. The lineup-We need him. Yeah, you guys really needed him. We need him. The lineup where it was you, Bobby Portis, Chris Middleton, Pat Connaughton, and Galanari was the lineup where the tides completely changed. The Bucks were down at one point, and you can even pinpoint a specific moment, and it involved you and Oby Toppen. But you seemed like you weren't even interested in the back and forth. No, I'm not. Come on, man. You didn't even look at the player who you were getting.

Give me the ball so we could take out. For real, I just want to hoop. I just want to hoop. I just want to get lost in basketball, man. It's the perfect time. It's starting to get warm outside. Everybody's watching. It's lit in there. Just give me the fucking ball, bro. I'm not trying to. What the fuck I'm going to fight O be fucking topping. You know what I'm saying? Come on, just give me the ball. Come on, so we can run our shit, please. Because when we play, all Indiana reps, get you all the ball and you all are on the fucking track me.

That's part of their game.

For real. It's on the track. So, yeah, just give me the ball. I ain't really trying to- If someone even argues about a call or something like that, Indiana is going to take that as a numbers fast break.

So you guys want to do the exact same thing. Do you think that a younger Pat Bev would have gotten into that back and forth?

Probably so, but that still would matter. You know what I'm saying? It don't matter with me. I get into it, don't get into it. It don't matter.

Maturity.

You feel me? I just need all my energy right now though. Back then, I had the energy to do both. Now, I got the energy to argue with you, man. What I look like arguing with you, man, it's the play-off, man. You feel me? My team, literally, they need me. Our two main guys are literally hurt.

All-stars.

You know what I'm saying?

Not just main guys. These guys are all-star starters. Nothing funny about it, bro. It's dead serious.

I know, man. I know. But should we go pack it in? Fuck no, man.

No interest in Cancun.

Hell, no. We got work to do. Indiana going to be crazy.

What was the atmosphere like in the two games we played there? Crazy.

It was great, literally. You got to think. I love playing in Indiana. You got to think, what do you mean? Basketball was started there? Basketball was started there. They know basketball. That's not no takeaway from any other place, but basketball was literally invented there. The fucking Hoosiers, No, I've been to Indiana Hoosiers games, and even in the nosebleed sections, there's fans with glasses on who are being like, Okay, there's a pick and roll here.

He's going to want to pin down this defender.

They've been doing basketball for a long time. It's in their blood. It's literally they bleed basketball. So it's just historic playing in Indiana, period. Literally, period. The whole state is watching. You know what I'm saying?

And now this Pacers team, not that they've been a cursed franchise, but they're able to, like you're saying, the youth movement is giving them a new injection of life. So that has to invigorate their fans even more.

So, yeah, it's always a good environment, man. Good environment. Really good environment.

And then after the Obitop in interaction, we won't even call it confrontation, you scored seven straight points.

No, but I wasn't even... It probably would have been 11 if you gave me the ball fast enough. You know what I'm saying? I'm trying to hoop. I'm trying to hoop. I'm just trying to hoop. You got it. I don't want no smoke. Check ball. That's all I'm trying to do, bro. I got to guard this motherfucker, Hallibur this motherfucker, run off all these motherfuck screens, fast till. My house turn is popping for three. I got a lot going on. I have no time to argue with you, brother. Give me the ball, please.

Main ball handler. I mean, it's you and Dame, usually, that are ball handlers, and then maybe Yana some, as far as bringing the ball off the court. Now it's just you. So it's like there's an extra weight. You have to have an extra amount of focus. How were you able to maintain that focus throughout the game.

No, I was just... I mean, but I've been locked in pretty much the whole series. That's what I'm saying. I felt great last game. This injury happened, but I still try to go out there and try to do some stuff. I mean, it's just Preparation is meeting up with all my hard work.

It seems like Bobby Portis found his groove back a little bit tonight.

He played well. He was in the game. You know what I'm saying?

I think playoff career high, 29 points for him. But whatever.

He was in the game. I forgot about that. He was without Bobby last. You know what I'm saying? Not normal shit is happening to other teams. You take away three main guys from another team.

Well, then with Middleton's injury, too, it looked like it was going to be four guys at some point.

But still, Bobby was available today, and I like how he responded. Feel me? Great guy. Great. Literally came in, apologized to the whole team. Shit, threw me off. I That's impressive. My bad guys, my bad guys. I need to. That was my bad. That won't happen again. I let my team down. That's impressive. That's really impressive. And came out and performed like that. He's impressive.

He's the guy who's standing right next to you when you're hitting someone with a...

I put a little sassiness on the door. Hand on hip.

It was popping, bro.

Duck lip. No, it was fun. It was a good loss in competition, man. It was fun.

Yeah. Incredible stuff. And then you were really passing the shit out of the ball today.

What did Ragek say? And I come down.

It was, bro.

I felt good. But you got to understand, I love playing pick and roll. I love playing pick and roll. I've played with some of the best pick and roll, literally. James Harden is probably one of the best pick and roll. No, no, no. Probably the best pick and roll player ever.

Wow.

Numbers-wise, assist-wise, probably, you feel me? Ever. So I got a chance to play with him. I learned a ton. You feel me? Then I'm I watch Paul George. I watch everybody. So I like playing pick and roll. I like playing pick and roll.

Yeah. I think Malik Beesley was the main beneficiary of a lot of your passes.

I tell Bs, I hate Bs. Listen, man. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, I'm going to get you threes all night. He, okay, do you hear me talking to you? Yeah, I hear you. B, look at me. You hear me? Yeah, I hear you. What I say. If I do blah, blah, blah, blah, blah Black shots. I played with him in Minnesota. I already know. I'm proud of Bs, too.

He was D-ing up, and he had some fouls, and you would talk to him after some of those fouls, be like, Hey, this is good. This is good. This is positive. You're playing good defense. You're not giving up easy shots.

He played really well. But that was yesterday. So we got to refocus, enjoy, right? You always have to enjoy a win, feel me?

Especially in the playoffs.

In the playoffs. Any type of win in life, people, any type of win in life, get a new raise, a red something instead of... I think I said this on a part already, though. But any win has to be celebrated because it forces the subconscious to want to repeat it again. So whatever your win is, you've been sober for five months, celebrate. You know what I mean? You, man, you Whatever your win is, you and your group are going through a hard time. You all been cool for, you know what I'm saying, two, three years, coming up on an anniversary, celebrate it. It forces the subconscious to want to win again, want to win again, want to win again. So, yeah, I'm going to go home and I'm going to look at the game and I'm going to look at my highlights, you feel me? And I'm going to think back and I'm going to sit back and, okay, cool, man, that bitch is lit. I did this, I did that. But when I wake up in the morning, done. New game.

The other thing I was telling you, though, enjoy the highlights for sure. But when you watch highlights or you watch your performances, then your experience of what happens starts to be the experience of the video highlight that you're watching. So I think it's important also to live in what you did and the emotions of it, how it felt in the building, and create your own video of what that amazing thing that you're celebrating is. I don't remember it, though. Really? For real. Flow state.

For real, bro. I remember it, but I don't. I remember every play that happened, but I don't remember. I didn't hear fans, but I heard them. I didn't see this, but I saw it. You know what I'm saying? It's a little different for me. I was lost in the game.

Which is beautiful. That's all you want.

That's exactly what that means. Knowing fully what's going on. Just playing ball, getting lost in there. Okay, cool. All right, hold your dribble. Look off, look off. Okay, open up. Okay, boom, boom, boom. It's happening in mind. Slow, but I'm moving on court. Okay, cool. He playing like that. All right, cool. Set him up, set him up, set him up. All right, shoot a bad one. You got to shoot a bad one right now. Got to shoot a bad one. Your team needs it. Okay, bring it down. Bring it down. Watch the pressure. Watch the pressure. Come off, come off. Give him eyes. Look at him. Look at him right in the eye. Stop. Drip again. Watch side, man. Watch side, man. But B is right there, so he just hit a three. He ain't going to help. Be aggressive. Be aggressive. Be aggressive. Space closed, space closed. Trust your work. Trust your skill.

The inner monolog is crazy.

Yeah, it's OD.

Wow. It's like a video game, almost. Like the way it's unfolding.

Sometimes I look to the bench and I do this. It's exactly that. For real.

Wow.

You got to think I've been having a ball my whole life. I had to come to the NBA and adapt a new role.

Well, one of the things that was impressive tonight was the way that you kept your dribble because they're playing really physical defense, and it's almost like there's a lot of bumping, big shit talking, and they want you to pick up your dribble, but you'll even fall to a knee and continue.

But you got to think I go in that bitch. I remember this shit like it was yesterday, man. It was one of the most humbling experiences I need, but it transferred four of my basketball game. La Clippers, we put a belt to the ass to the Lakers. I'm talking about every time, but each one of our games on TV. We play them. They must have put Avery Bradley on me. I couldn't bring the ball off the court, literally. And I felt like it was nothing I could do about it. Feel me? Then I started getting off of it, not even wanting to dribble in because I couldn't bring the ball up. That summer, I go right to Kua. Hey, man, I'm having trouble with my handle. You supposed to be my friend. What the fuck can I do? He had three people guard you when you come down every time and every workout. When you get to your screen and do the skill part, tell them all to move. Tell them, don't steal it. Feel me? But if you lose with it, tell them to take it. You feel me? But every time you work out, go from full core all the way down when you're about to start your drill out.

And then when they do that, just tell them to stop and do that and keep doing that. And I've been doing that. So now it's like, feel me? Like, boom, boom, bump. Okay, come on, pressure me. Please pressure me. I'm going to go get a layup. Pressure me again. Okay, play me honest. You know what I'm saying? So I worked on my craft.

Is that a testament to skill or strength?

No, a little bit of both. You know what I'm saying? I had to work on my craft. I had to work on my craft, bro. Straight up. And I'm still not as tight as I wanted to be, but every day I got heavy ball. Feel me? Every day, every practice, heavy ball. Working it, twerking it, working it, working it, working it, working it, working it, working it, working it, working it, working it, working it, we're losing it. Doing shit I ain't ever do before, losing it. You know what I'm saying? Working on my fucking game.

What does the heavy ball do for you?

I don't know. It just make me got to fully control it. You know what I'm saying? I do some funny layups with it underneath the basket. And that's every day I warm up. Every day I warm up. Every practice I ever shoot around, I warm up. Band on knee, above knee, heavy ball.

I need some anti-inflammatory, bro. You're fucking locked in, bro. But it's also with a Pacers team like this, you guys are up 20 in the fourth quarter, but 20-point leads are not safe.

With that team, nothing safe. You got to listen. I told you, this young generation is here. They are here, and they ain't going nowhere, and they are young starting it. When they 22s and 23s, and motherfuckers ain't 26s and 27s. When they finally gain confidence. Now, these motherfuckers got confidence right now. Okc is here. You feel me? That's a Minnesota here. Philly here. Brunson. Like, motherfuckers is here, right here. Waiting to dethrone all the old heads, not even the old heads, all this stuff.

Dudes in Boston, here. Here. Right. Donchik, here.

Here.

Right. Donchik. Here.

Here. Just wanting to literally knife in hand. Come on.

I don't know if you can call them Young, but the dudes out in Denver, they've been here.

Come on.

Disgusting.

One move, I'm chopping your mother's head off, and they don't care.

Yeah, it's dangerous.

They don't care. They don't care. They don't care. I'm talking shit, so what? Yeah, you're too little. So what? You can't guard me. You can't guard me. I say, I love it. This is how basketball is supposed to be played, my type of game. Good old, old-fashioned ball. Little elbow, little push, little shit talk. He's a bum. I told you he was. Yeah, good hoops. Good hoops.

It seems like you're playing some of your best basketball, though.

You've been saying it all year, though.

But in your advanced stage, that is fun.

I don't I think it advances.

Not advanced?

I'm over 38, 39 out there hoop, Brian out there hoop. You feel me? So I feel great. Yeah, looks great. But you got down 5:00 AM every morning, 6:00 AM every morning. Get to it. Get to it. Let's go lift. Let's go get stronger. Let's go do some yoga. Let's go do some high yoga. Let's go do some mobility. Did you do your mobility? Okay, you did it. Did you do it twice? Okay, go do it again. Hit your core. Core got to be strong. Can't make moves without core. Are you okay? Okay, obli, bounce back then. Maybe it'd be hurting even worse if I didn't have a strong core. You feel me? So it's no surprise why I'm very humble, and I like to pop my shit at the same time, but I pop my shit knowing all the work I put in before, too. I put in so much work, so much work. Time away from loved ones, time away from my kids, you know what I'm saying? I just got this gig. I'm putting in crazy work. So it's no surprise.

Success begets success. And I I think people are starting to take notice, specifically even after the game. Charles Barkley is giving flowers. What do you say? Maybe I could play the clip for you.

Of course, you got a clip.

Of course, I have a clip, bro. You think I'm going to come around with no clip? And then...

What's your name? Ovie Toppen. Man, this is a leprechaun always stepping up on big dudes. Ovi got a T out of that whole thing. Milwaukee coming back at him. Got the lead, 36, 33.. Too small, Ernie. I love that little dude, man.

I love that little dude. Leprechaun, coming at bigger dudes. Is that love?

I don't know. It seemed like fake love a little bit, but you feel me? That's how the old heads be, though.

Leprechaun? I mean, he said- You're a little bitch, motherfucker.

I love you. That type of shit, you know what I'm saying? That's how the old heads be. You feel me? So I can't even... That cursed me out, literally, every single day. Every single day. But he loves you. To death. You know what I'm saying? So that's how they show it. You feel me? They tear you down up. Tear down is the love. I love that little thing. Every day. I'm talking about every day. Every day. Doc literally uses a cursing word at me. Every day.

Why?

Anything. Check the fuck up, Pat. All right, Doc. Pat, come here. What's up? You got to be fucking this. I already talk you, Doc? You're right. Hey, Pat, come here. You know why I took you out? I don't know why. Because this, this, this, this, this. Lock in on the fucking game. I'm literally probably the most locked. All right, but all right, I got you, Coach. I understand it. Feel me? Come on, man. Doc Rivers. Would you go argue with Doc Rivers? He's Doc Rivers. The fuck is you talking about? It's Phil Jackson, Doc Rivers. What are you talking about? You know what I'm saying?

Mike was videotaping him. He said he would come That's how the older generation, that's how they talk to you.

And he come from my brother, Pat Reilly. So it's literally in his blood. It really is elite. So that's all. You hear Charles Barker, you hear all those guys. That dude's a leprechaun, man. They're allowed to say all that. They're the OGs.

I think he meant it lovingly.

That's what I'm saying. They're allowed to say anything they want. They're not the type of people to bring people down. So they always show love. They just do it in a different way.

Old way.

Look at you, you little pale-face motherfucker.

You look good. Pointy-ass nose.

You know what I'm saying? Look good. Do I? Thanks. Don't make me laugh at all.

The MVP segment of the week is brought to you by Body Armor, Zero Sugar. And who to give the MVP to? Honestly, I think it would be if we just gave it to Pappev. So I'm down to a couple people. I think that we could give it to Beazley, potentially. I think we could give it to Bobby Portis, but genuinely, I think that that has to go to Chris Middleton. Multiple game-tying shots. The stars are out, and he's still taking over the games. And then incredible performance in game five to take the Bucks from the brink of elimination, completely taking care of business, making threes, spinning home, just these beautiful layups, English on them like you've never seen, oh, boy. Incredible stuff from the boy Chris Middleton, banking in threes at the end of the game. Jordan shrugging. Unbelievable stuff from Chris Middleton, from the good folks over here, the Pat Pat Pot with Throne.

He is our MVP of the Week. And of course, the MVP of the Week is brought to you by BodyArmor. Zero sugar, zero sugar, but so much flavor, so many electrolytes, so much rehydration going on with every sip. I've got the fruit punch here right now. Why don't you enjoy a little ASMR while I take a whack of this? Here's. Man, it's legitimately so good. I cannot believe how good it is. And that's every single time. You're surprised by it just the way I'm surprised by Chris Middleton's game, even though I know he's good. I know that he is already good. Body armor. Go ahead and get yours today at Walmart or a local grocery store near you. Can we talk about some of the other games that led up to this point?

Oh, my goodness. Let's hurry up and get to it. Belt to Ass.

They were on your ass.

Belt to Ass.

Game one was the last game where we were together. You guys won that game, and then the second game here in Milwaukee.

Belt to Ass. They weren't fucking around.

They weren't fucking around.

They still ain't.

No, they really haven't been.

You know what I'm saying? I don't fuck with you. Say, Indiana, they're here, so we got to be on ourPs and cues.

Well, then a marquee game was game number three, where it was a double overtime.

What about Chris Middleton, though?

Shotmaker. Oh, my goodness. That guy is an absolute shotmaker. For him to hit one, three of that magnitude to tie up the game late in enemy territory in the playoffs is unbelievable. But for him to hit two shots like that, it's truly unbelievable the way that he's picked up the slack without... Because people forget that that man has his stripes as well.

The play happened, he hit the first game winner.

My game winner.

Let me tie. He tied it up. That bitch go in. I, Oh, shit. Are we in this, bitch? It's up. We down, we down three again. Oh, shit. We back in this, bitch. And I let Halliburton come down, he want to go right. I sit on the right. He go inside, left hand. Just float me for game. Wash it down. Got to be better. Got to be better.

Wins, losses. Can't get too high, can't get too low. Got to be better. But the pain was on your face right after that moment. What was going through your head?

Got to be better. I'm so fucked up about it wrong. I'm planning to play over in my head like, Man, I should have sent his ass right. I should have sent him where I wanted him to go, then did this and did that and did that and did this. You got to think, you feel me? You want a job done, you call John Wick. You feel me? And most of the time, I get job done. Shooting percentages and what they average before and what they average. So I get job done. You know what I'm saying? So I didn't get job done.

I know you. You must have been sick.

Because if I play well, next morning, if I play bad, I ain't going to drown in it. Next one.

So it was a short memory.

Short memory. Wash it down like I do with all other shit. The good and the bad. Wash that shit down. That shit was yesterday. Can't control them. Move the fuck on. Okay, cool. What's for dinner?

What was for dinner after that?

I got my chef in the hotel with me. He doing this motherfucking thing, whipping a ball type of shit.

In the hotel.

I say, Chef, I'm going to war. I need my go-to. He fried chicken, mashed potato loaded. Yep, that's me. Yes, sir.

Your body in that KFC.

Man, let's chill. You need to chill. What? You need to chill. You're going to kill that man. I can't believe he talk shit about what's up with him. That's dry. What's up with that? And I showed him nothing but love when I first met him. He's telling me I'm overpaid. What the fucking hottest pot in Barstoo? Is he silly? Is he fucking silly? Seriously. You know what I'm saying? And now I look at it like, Man, I came in, bro. I showed you love since I met you. You feel me? I didn't know nothing about no fucking the podcast. And he go on there, we supposed to be on the same team, and say some shit like that. He don't got a follow. I'm like, What type of shit is that? Why you want to create drama?

What the heck?

My day off, I come record. Like, great company. I'm like, literally, Company guy. Company guy? Literally. Co-workers of the month, consecutive. Pizza's. Pizza's, flowers. I come to the... No-ones have ever done that. I'm not doing it for show. I'm doing it Because I'm walking in an establishment, I should bring some things. That's how I was raised. You know what I'm saying? And he going to say that about me like, What type of shit is that? That shit's corny as hell.

He said I was your butler.

That's weird and corny as hell.

I'm not your butler.

Come on, bro. We got real shit popping over here. We literally have one of the best pods in podcast era right now when it comes to sports podcast.

I'm walking out of the stadium. I can't imagine how it is for you. Everybody's like, Belt to ask. People are holding up belts, taking pictures with me. People are taking off their belt in the spot. Parents have their kids. They're like, subscribe to the mother freaking pod because my kids are here. Right.

I feel your pain.

And they'll appreciate that extra notch on the belt that you're getting.

I got my son. I got him on, I think he in Philly, he visited me for a weekend. Him and his younger sister, my younger son. And his sister, I guess I go to practice. And I guess they go to the mall. Him and his sister, my chef, the younger teenagers, my older daughter, my sister, my niece, you feel me? Like the girls, they go to the mall. I get story back. My son, this is Spank. And this is how I know they curse. He goes, the chef comes to me. I had to talk to Elijah. What do you do? I said, Spank, look at Chef like, what the fuck taking them so long? Like, clear.

I've said it over and over. Not only do I know what it means, how to say it, but I'm going to use it in a perfect time.

To put the right spin on the-Yeah, and look at you, dead in your eye.

What the fuck is taking them so long? All this shopping. Let's go.

Well, first off, I wonder where he got that from. Sure. Second First of all, that's what it is to be a man. You go shopping with your... There's a story about this Ukrainian guy who was shopping with his wife, and the balcony of the mall had like, spokes in it, and the guy put his head between the spokes and twisted his head until he broke his neck because he literally took his own life because he was so fed up with shopping with his woman. That's happened before, and that's what guys have to fight against, this internal... You know what I mean? What the fuck? I'm telling you, this is a real I know.

I see it on your face. You're going to tell me a lie.

I wouldn't tell you a lie, but that's what guys- I like that hat, though. I like that hat. Come on. Is Barster 47? Barster?

Yeah. Yeah, they make elite hats.

But the Love Gang hats in stores now.

From now on, I don't even wear the shit. I'm wearing my shit every day. I love it.

And you're getting interviewed after the game, subscribe. Subscribe to the pod. That type of shit. Incredible shit. And then game four, it's just a rash of injuries. A lot of injuries.

Bobby got kicked out.

Bobby got kicked out of the game. He was heated. You have that bargain with him where he's going to be a fiery player.

But you got to think, the hoop in this bitch is like, Hey, man, what? You all seeing Kaithlyn Clarke? I got to see her. Where's she at? She's a fucking walking legend.

She's a legend. I know.

I didn't see her, though, bro. I would show her to you.

I know. She was watching the game, bro.

That's the legend there. You got to show Got to get flowers. Got to get flowers. I love flowers. Red roses. Red roses? Yeah, and I like to give them out.

Bro, you gave me my flowers. I have to give you credit for this. You gave me a beautiful birthday present. Very kind guy, Christian Dior Dior. He's up in all the stores. But yeah, I was in Chicago for the NFL Draft Show. Bear has made some good pics. Got to be fired up about your home squad.

Fingernail color. Love it.

Caleb Williams.

I pop your shit. He told my motherfucking partner, I ain't going to need you too much. Ask gangs to love it.

That's gangsta as hell. And then he got a moment.

And then Chicago Bear is building a new stadium right on the water.

You got to be fired up about that. Or do you like that? Because I think some people think there's not going to be any parking around there in Chicago.

So, man, they go, Listen, my brother go park or you go walk. You go get that, though.

Where are they? By the aquarium down there?

Yeah, that's going to be fire.

You ever go to that aquarium?

We were forced to go every once or twice a year as a kid. It literally forced. Kids, we have a field trip. Where are we going? Check out the aquarium. By the time you get My poor Cribs Muffles was like, I don't go to that shit no more.

My grandma, rest in peace, rest of sweet, we do the same thing.

Rest of peace, grandnie, man.

But she would take us to the Shed Aquarium all the time.

We have more fun on the bus than at the Shed Aquarium.

What was going down on the Everything.

You the cool kids in the back, not-so-cool kids in the middle.

Nerds. Front.

Teachers, whenever it's lit, banging on windows, rapping, making beats, all types of shit. Yelling out the windows.

Yeah, we was cool. You ever yelled at some people?

No.

You ever have bus drivers that were like, If you guys don't freaking cut this shit out, I'll turn the bus around?

Yeah, especially in Chicago. Then I had a bus driver. He like, My mom. Yeah, your mom picking you up today. I, Bro, stop playing on me, bro. I'll slap the shit out. You got to think I was that kid, too. Hey, bro, you're talking about my mama again, bro. I'm slapping you. Man, I'm 11, 12 years old. So you got to think. So the house I was raised in, 11 plus I got me 12 boys and girls. But I was a real responsible one, and I was real popular in the neighborhood. So my grandma used to send me, if it was to get food, a place called Jimmy's. Shout out to Jimmy's. They have Chicago-style a whole sausage. But in order to go get Jimmy, she'll send me. Send me with the money. Mind you, I didn't know Jimmy's was ran by the police Department until I was, I don't know, 17. So you got to think I'm a 10, 11-year-old kid coming in there like, Hey, I need six hot dogs, seven Polishes, easy on the relish because you all be drowning that shit and relish. Mind you, I'm talking just like this. I'm 11 years old.

No mustard, no ketchup. We got all that shit at home. And don't fuck up my order because you all fucked up my order last time. My granny was mad at me. Mind you, they're all police officers. I just think they're regular guys.

All right, Pep, what else do you need, pal?

Right, right, right.

Okay. Two kill bosses, three Polish sausages.

Come on. Yeah. So I'm in that bitch like, yeah. And watch how you yell at me, bro. Don't be talking to me like that. I'm a little kid. They all in there dying laughing. You know what I'm saying? So kids, 13, 12 Yeah, 12 and under.

You wonder where a spice getting at?

I've been talking to all police officers crazy. I don't even know. For real, man, you all be fucking on my order. Don't laugh at me, bro. What the fuck is so funny back there? Don't laugh.

I'm a homicide detector for making sausages as my side job.

You ain't no homicide. I was going crazy. So, yeah, shout out to Jimmy's man. All the guys that helped raise the neighborhood.

But that bus driver, man, cut that stuff out, man.

Not cool. Then When dinner with dinner got to a point, I sat right next to him. Every time he dropped me off, I sat right next to him. I know he looking like, Man, this motherfucker crazy. Say something about my mom one more time. Say something.

You slapped him run-off.

I was a menace. I was a menace. I was a menace.

I somehow believe that.

I was a menace. I'm talking about like, Come in, 15 minutes late. What's up, Ms. Johnson? How are you, Mr. Beverly? I'm well. I'm sorry, I'm late. Get out.

But you know you were raised right if you said, I'm well instead of I'm good.

For real.

You talk to anybody, my principal was like, Man, you know he used to stand on tables and dance. I was that bitch. Class, I'm talking about.

Class clown.

Grandma had a candy store. So I was taking candy from Grandma Candy store, bringing it to school, selling it for double.

Hopped up on sugar. What?

I'm looking at her. Why are you putting 25 Why you put 25 pieces in there? She, what? Why you put 25 pieces in there? Because it's pinnaker. She, because it's 25 cents. Ain't nobody going to count that shit.

Short of?

She, huh? Give them 21. She. You're right. Yeah, ain't nobody counting that shit. I eat it. I'm not counting 25 pieces.

No, you shorted them on the candy.

Man, 21. When I go to school, I'm 15. Give me a quarter. Who else you going to get it from? I'm talking about at the market at a price that no one else has. I literally have the market. It's me or no one else. Matter of fact, 50 cent because you're taking too long. I was a menace as a kid, bro. So 12. I was a menace. You should have seen me, bro. You should have seen me, bro. That shit was crazy. And mind you, our We live right across the street from the school. So I get in trouble.

Security guard had me on collar, walked me across the street.

Like, yeah, he did this, this, this. I'm looking like, Snitch ass. You feel me? I'm in that bitch. All right, granny, look. I'm going to take four bags of this, some Flaim & Hot, some Doritos.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, 50 cent a quarter. Well, go ahead and get it. Schools in. Can't get it. 50 cent.

Two for a dollar isn't even a deal. I'll fit on a 50 cent.

Two bags of candy for a dollar. Magic Candy, they supposed to have 25, but for that 19, 16. I mean, that bitch wild.

And I'm bagging up my own candy.

She, What are you doing? I got this, girl. You go to sleep. I'm bagging up my own candy. 16, 17, 15. I come home, I hit granny. I keep the rest right. I was having my way. You were built differently.

I got to sell this candy for me.

I ran to school every day.

I got all this candy to sell. I'm having my way. Short of hiring out workers.

No, I'm cool. I don't want to hire nobody. I don't even want to tell my cousins I'm doing it. Only people that know is me and my granny. I don't want nobody in my business. I was raised right. I was raised right. The Italian culture in our neighborhood, they raised us right, man. I was raised right.

That'll be five hot dogs, Chicago-style.

Right.

Four kielbasas, five Polish Sausages, 3 Polish Sausages, stuff with cheese.

No, I told you, I don't want no motherfucking cheese. You always stop playing with me, man. For real, they always crack jokes. No, it was great. It was great. Growing up in Chicago, it was great.

Oh, my God, dude.

It was great.

That does sound like an absolute time. Dude, you went on the DMX, too. You heard they were playing DMX in the fucking- No, that's why you got to think, I survived on DMX in Ukraine. They were playing it in the stadium today.

Rest in peace, ex. Mom loves DMX. So growing up, I got to listen to DMX, but I love DMX. So I'm in Ukraine playing, man. I'm playing all DMX. I look through an eleven-star window. I take one last pop for the end though. Look through the scope and let 10 go. Yeah, I'm talking about the The Real DMX. The real, not no, you feel- You all going to make me. No, not that shit.

Now, let's get into it Our Starting Five Players in the Year 2030.

I have to start off with two honorable mentions. One is going to go to Tyrese Maxi, and it breaks my fucking heart to not put him on this list. Two is going to go to Chet Holmgren, and I might put him on the list if it weren't for that commercial that they keep on shoving down our throats. Whatever he wants, whatever. I like that commercial, but it's been too much. It's been a little bit too much for my liking. Unfortunately, those two are going to be the first ones to not make the list. But the first one in the list, his partner from that commercial, or partner, if you're from the Yey area, is Shay Gildas Alexander. Shay Gildas Alexander, just coming into his own. The future is bright with this young man. I'm going to go ahead and throw him at my one. That's my starting point guard in the year 2030. Then at my two, a man that we've balehued to great length on this exact program, a high-flying Minnesota Timberwolfe, the boy Ant Edwards. Different. If he's really Jordan like Pat Bev says he is, maybe he's not even Jordan. Maybe he's his own new thing that we've never seen before.

But in the year 2030, You're going to have wanted to have bought stock on him in the year 2024. At my three, I have to go with Luka. Luka is still young enough. He has enough game. The way that he's scoring the ball, that's a game that's going to age well. He is a pudgy game. Pudgy games age well. Ymca game. He could be an old man, and the European in him will just take him to New Heights, Snowjays, and Kelsey. I think that that's going to be helpful. Obviously, at my center, I'm going to go with Wemby. That boy has already proven that he can be one of the best in the game, and I'm excited to see what they add around him because that's a special player right there. The things that he's been able to do with the ball on his hands, he's shooting his defense. The sky's the limit. Me and him need to get in the weight room together, though, bro. I need to show Crodie a couple of things just to make sure that his knees are strong enough. That's a guy that long, he could get hurt, and those injuries can be debilitating.

So I need to get Crodie in the gym. And then my last pick, Curveball. We haven't seen him play a lick of NBA ball yet. We haven't even seen him play a lick of college ball yet. But I'm taking a flyer on the young high flyer, Mr Cooper Flag. Cooper Flag, make me look good. Make me look smart. Make me look like I know what I'm talking about. I think Cooper Flag could be in the discussion for one of the best players in the world in 2030. Or someone might pull up this clip in a couple of years and I'll look like a fucking idiot. But you won't look like a fucking idiot any time that you crack into some New Amsterdam vocal because you'll be having so much fun. You'll have such a big smile on your face. People will not be able to make fun of you. That's our Starting Five, presented by New Amsterdam vocal. Shout out to Tyris Maxi. Great night tonight. Big shot.

I didn't see. I didn't see what happened. You didn't see the shot?

No, no, no.

Let me look up the numbers.

I'll give it 46 and nine. And he hit a absolute bomb as they were about to get eliminated from the playoff, much to the chagrin of Tracy Morgan, who's flipping him off, and Ben Stiller, who's saying some nasty shit to him.

The Boat Squad texted me. Hey, yo, Pee B, come on now. Cat. P. B. Was hooping the day. Love, gang.

What squad's that?

The P. G. Was it Paul George, Big Zoom? Cat. Pat Patterson?

Yeah, the boat squad. The Boat Squad.

The Boat Squad.

The best of all time. The boats. Hell, yes. That's good. That's nice that everyone's showing love to one another.

That's cool.

That's extremely cool. You were hooping, bro. Those fellows have been hooping up in Minnesota as well.

I No, no, no. They got their belts out, swing around their motherfucking head. They got the belts around their head, my fucking head, in Minnesota. Yeah. Savages. Oh, my goodness.

The way that Anthony Edwards is flying like a fucking whisper.

No, no, no, no, no, I'm in Minnesota, I go, And mind you, I'm looking at everything. I'm looking at how to... Coach is coaching. I'm looking at how the players work. I'm looking at Dilo for the first time I'm looking at Kata for the first time. I'm looking at everything for the first time. I'm looking at Ant. And I tell him when I get there, Don't tell me anything about him. Good or bad.

You're going to make your own assessment.

Let me make my own assessment, bro. Looking at him, wow. This is motherfucking B Michael Jordan. I go on media, I say it. I go, 'Py, ' I say it. They clowned me. Literally, a female who worked the film in Minnesota came up to me and like, Why would you say that about him? It's the truth. Why aren't you all saying it? You're talking about he's Michael Jordan. I'm looking like, He is. I'm on the bus. Daryl More, we're talking about him. Oh, yeah, man. He's the next MJ. Mj is a lot. All right. Okay. I done been under this kid. I done sweated with this kid. I'd have showed this kid so much. Little it's and bits and pieces. And then after me, he gets Mike Conley, who else could literally show him A ton of other shit. Man, I was on his ass. I'm not letting you feel. Yeah, I'm going out. You're never going out with me, ever. Not one time. Are you ever going to a nightclub party dinner with me? He damn, no, I know. I do not. No, I am not getting in the way of your growth. Now, if I look up and you there, I'm going to show love.

But you're not getting in the car. None of that shit with me. None of that shit with me. I am only here for you to take the next motherfucking step straight up. And then I sit down one time, no cap, no cap.

True story. I sit down one time. And I ain't going to say the other person's name because they're currently playing basketball.

But I say, check it out.

You can be two people in the NBA. You can be this person, Great career. Made a ton of money. A ton of money. Made a ton of money. Took care of his family. Ton of money. 300 something million. Feel me? And count. Or you can be Michael Jordan. And it's all up to you. You damn, Pee B. Those are your two options. Both options are fucking great. It's up to you to choose which one you want. Well, he don't give a fuck. Trained him for it, made him a killer. Killer. Made him a killer. Why are you doing your tween tween at the fucking three-point line? Hey, what you What do you mean? In your head, you think you can shoot like Steph Curry, but in the NBA, you can't fucking shoot. Size them up. Go twin cross, twin cross. Then make your hezzy. Because you're making the hezzy at the three-point line, it take you two dribbles to dunk. Size them up, do the hezzy inside the three-point line. Now, it take you one dribble to dunk. And once you dunk on an NBA, once you dunk on three people, people stop jumping. Man, he did that shit.

Everything he do, size up, size up, blow pass. Can't guard it. Can't guard it.

He's too strong.

And boy, he lives in a weight room because I live in a weight room. Every time I was in the weight room, his ass is in the weight room. But they I had a real good weight lifting coach, too. He was my weight lifting coach in Houston. He was James Harden, personal guy. When James was in Houston, the guy named Jafar. Jafar is great, literally great. He's elite. He had the Detroit What's a baseball team? Tigers. He had the Detroit Tigres when they won a Championship. And he went, was an assistant with the Rockets. Me and James was there. Then he gave him head with the Rockets. Me and James still there. I left. He became James. That's when James was putting a clinic on, and now he went in. So it's not a surprise why he's playing so well.

He's going to have a hell of a test next round. Yeah.

Against the- But they gave him the best smoke last year, though. That's the only team that... If it was a team that gave them a run for their money, it was the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In the first round last year.

That's the only team that gave them for their money.

People acted like that was crazy when people were saying that last year, but now it makes way more sense. Yeah.

Shout out to Fenty, too. Coach of the Year.

He tore Patella 10 down.

Good way of soul. I told your ass be in the weight room, too. I told you about that shit. You need to start lifting. Who ran it?

Was it Conley that ran into him?

Conley killed him.

Conley.

Conley.

He killed him.

Come on, bro. Fentji, get well soon, love, guy.

Can't bulldoze, coach. No, he needs the anti-inflammatory.

He needs more than that. His ass ain't going to be... He like to stand in, Coach.

He's going to be in a boot.

No, he going to be sitting down. That ass going to be on that seat now.

Who is that coach that would roll around on the one thing?

No, you can't do that. That would take away from the team.

That would take away from the team. And then what do you think about the Thunder? What they do after the game? Have you seen how they all get together. I love it.

And I don't like what the reporter said, and no one said anything about it.

What did the reporter say?

The lady, the last ESPN, she goes, What are these knuckleheads up to? That's fucked up. I don't give a fuck if she was joking or not. You don't make that joke. That's someone's children, literally. Multiple people's children. There's no knuckleheads. They're literally the number one team in the NBA. Why is that the only word you can use? And no one said anything about it. They just let it slide.

It was like a term of endearment?

I don't fuck what it is. You wouldn't talk to LeBron James like that. I don't fuck what age. They're professional. Give them their respect.

Kind of the same time when last year someone was like, Pap as a fool.

Right. That's weird as fuck. You wouldn't call anyone No one else a fool. So I didn't like that. And no one addressed it. No one talked about it. They just let it slide. Even the media didn't say anything. Like, no. They showing love to their own people, Ballysport. That is love. You got motherfucking barking. I love it.

It's great. They have a good culture.

Yeah. She called them knuckleheads. That's fucked up. That's so fucked up. I didn't like that at all. And I listened to everything. I didn't like that at all. And not even issue an apology, That's how you talk.

Knucklehead?

Did you say that amongst your friends?

The N-word? I guess the K-word. Knuckle.

Right. Sure. But you don't say that amongst your friends.

Right.

And you wouldn't say that about Kevin Durán, or Luca Donchez or Steph Curry. Why you got to say that about the guys from OKC? I don't like that.

The Dallas Clippers. Man.

Best thing Clippers did, Kawhi, sit down.

That was healthy for them.

No, because it threw them off because they was playing without them for so long. When you get in the rhythm, you know. And I know K. K go try to fight through everything. He go, Man, fuck that, I'm a basketball player. Put some dirt on it. You know what I'm saying? So I respect that. But if you hurt, if you're injured, don't play. He injured. You know what I'm saying? So before he hanging on the rim, he couldn't even land. You know what I'm saying? So it was smart. It was smart because he a tough motherfucker. He had played through anything. Anything. You know what I'm saying? So when he came back, that's going to throw a ranch and shit because it's limited time to practice with all that. You got to put them right in line up. That was throwing them off.

Then James Harden elevates.

No, it don't elevate. It just was playing the way they played.

I'm saying he elevated his own game as far as just the skill that he plays with.

Yeah, but that's Beard. He that type of player anyway, so I'm not surprised by that. It was just the floor was more open for him to make decisions. So his reads were easy.

That's a great series. Then how about the shot making of Jamal Murray?

Tough. He tough.

And he's a different animal in the playoffs. Yeah, he is. Two game winners.

Yeah. He tough.

What is it? What are you thinking?

I don't know because I play him really well. And the shots that he be making on motherfuckers, I'll be like, damn, that's tough. Where'd that come from? But he does it again consistently over and over.

His first game winner was a switch on to Anthony Davis.

And then the other one, he's driving on. I'm coming in AR, one leg. Fuck that, one leg.

And that's to send home the Lakers. I mean, you think the Lakers wanted to go home?

No, hell no.

You see LeBron bucket that woman in there?

Oh, yeah. Talking all that crazy shit out. Come over here. Oh, my God. Yeah.

That was maybe the funnest thing he's ever done.

Then they had my boy Dilo on there eating grapes. They tried to kill him.

This is what I don't understand. The media took that and literally made it a whole thing. They literally called him a disgrace to LeBron James legacy as a teammate. Those were actually the words. They did a segment about D'Angelo Russell eating grapes, snacks, and not in the team huddle. That's almost like they've never- Get married, man.

Mary, it's almost like they've never... Mary, you're a good girl. What are you? I'm sorry. She wants to shake hands. Mary, thank you so much. Thank you. Okay. I wonder what she wants from you.

She wants love.

She's proud. Yeah, she She wants to shake her hand after a performance like that tonight. She said you're lost in the game. I want this one.

Thank you, Mary.

Thank you, Mary.

You're so kind. Thank you. So pretty, too. Thank you, Mary.

Good girl. All right, Mary.

You love me to death. All right.

She was a long-time mission, man. Giving you all the respect. What the fuck was that? A-sfin Tour. Yeah, Pest Detective shit, bro.

She just ficken me. I mean, it's They call them a disgrace for eating grapes. Come on, man.

Have they never watched The Huddle before?

I mean, come on, man. It's guys you can pick out a huddle every time, and it's a guy who doing his own thing.

And then there's another guy who's on the bench just hoping to get a minute and just be like, you know what I'm Come on, guys.

You know what I'm saying? Come on, man. This man, shoot. They're in their 50 from the field, 40 from the three. Literally was the reason they won the next game that they won. You know what I'm saying? That was crazy.

A game winner against Bucks. Have they not been paying attention all year?

That's crazy. And this is the thing the media don't understand. They can say that and that creates a title on a guy.

Can affect his contract.

It can affect his legacy. You know what I'm saying? You don't do no shit like that. Westbrook said, I couldn't guard. Everybody in the world was like, I couldn't guard. And I'm looking like, damn, I got literally three trophies at the crib. All my percentages against any guard are literally below any average. They ever, damn, I can't guard. But that was the perception. Why? Because That's what Russell Westbrook said. You feel me? So when you got a platform, you can't just do that, man. You're fucking up somebody money. How they raise their family. That ain't right. And we can't come on and be like, oh, this person, Steven A. Smith, is because of this, and JJ Reddick is because of this, or Kendrick Pershing is because of this, or Malik Andrews is because... We ain't going to never do that, but they got all the runway to do whatever and say whatever they want, bro. That shit ain't right. That's too much much power. They can affect so much shit without them knowing. So you got to be careful with your words. You have to, bro. Knuckleheads. That's wild to me. That's so wild to me.

Jalen Brunson has been playing his ass off.

I mean, it's hard to watch, though, because when you're in the playoffs, you don't want to be overdrowned by basketball, but it be so much good games on it. You want to be human. You're okay, cool. I'm going to just have a shut it off in basketball for the next, I don't know, 19 hours. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to just be a human I'm going to do stuff I want to do, but you can't help but to watch it. It's everywhere, literally everywhere.

And then Embiid has a Bell's palsy on his face.

Isn't that crazy? Yeah, that's crazy. I don't even know too much about that, even to talk about it.

Yeah, I didn't really know that that can happen. Your face just shuts off for a little bit. He's getting migraine headaches. He hoop, though.

Fall through it.

Yeah, had to fight through it. And they're really pushing. Celtic's pushing. Who won Magic Magic One. Cazlan.

Cazlan.

So it's three, two now?

Three, two.

Great series, though. Great series. Really good series. I mean, this is what the playoffs is all about.

First round of playoffs this year, probably this top tier.

Yeah. New story lines are being written, almost. It's like, okay, this team is emerging. Magic emerging. Pacer is emerging. But I mean, about to ask.

Come on, man. Put a little bit more in there. There we go. And you said something to me that I got to bring up. You said something about fans and showing love to their teams. Them Philly fans at the New York is in the building say, Fucking B, that ain't cool. And I played in Philly. That ain't cool. Y'all was supposed to choke them out. The fans? Yeah, I can't even come no game. Fuck it. So what? Yeah, I'm banned. So what? This is Philly. I'm probably only going to be banned for the city going to take care of me. I'll be back in that bitch.

Oh, you're saying physically choke them out?

Fuck that, man. They can't say that. They can't say that. That's Philly. I played in Philly. They can't say that. Philly, you all better than that.

It's because New York is so wealthy and they could just- So what?

That was no excuse. I played in Philly. I know Philly people. I played in Philly. Can't let that shit ride.

So next time they need to start choking people out.

Bar some some style.

Straight up.

Oh, it hurt.

Bar sending some style. I got to go to Roan.

All right. Papabla with Roan. Continue to watch. It's the playoffs. Love, gang.
