Every team likes to say you have a dog. I'd say, You have a dog. You have a dog.

Yeah, for sure.

How many dogs do you think is on each team? I asked one of my coaches. He said two. I said one and a half. I think I asked Marcus Morris, and Marcus Morris said like a half.

But Marcus is a dog.

I know, but you got on this team you might have. Then you have up and coming dogs.

Puppies.

Not puppies, but you don't stand by.

They're just getting their teeth thick and their dog teeth in. Right, right, right.

Right, right, right. They're still toothing. So yeah, how many dogs you think on each team?

It's interesting because it's like when you look at the superstar conversation, you know who those guys are. But I think some fans don't know who a dog is. And I think the NBA players would know who a.

Dog is. Does Washington have any dogs?

No.

Okay. Go to Memphis. Does Memphis have any dogs?

Yes.

How many?

I mean, Ja, dogs, Dylan Brooks was a dog. No, no.

That's not on Memphis. So current. Marcus Smart.

Oh, yeah. So that's two dogs.

D-rowes.

D-rowes still dog status? I mean.

You get out there and smoke. Yeah?

See, I don't... Yeah. That's something that an NBA player would know.

That I don't know. So I'll go two.

Two?

Clippers. Russ. Dog.

Kauai?

Dog. So that's what I mean. So two? Some things have two, three.

But Kauai, that's what Kauai, D-Rows. Those are different types of dogs.

Yeah, but even James Harden Dog, to a certain extent. You feel me? Solike, people put PG as a dog. You know what I'm saying? So some teams have three or four, some teams have none. You know what I'm saying? So that's where we get to one and a half. You feel me? So it.

Averages out. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Let's go through the Sixers.

All right, Marcus Morris. And I'm not counting myself.

I'll count you.

All right, stand by, Kelly Huber. But you got to put Joe in there. The dog. Yeah.

Well, let's define it then. You know what I'm saying? What is it? Is it mindset? Is it how you act on the court? I don't think it's a act. Is it the fact that you're willing to.

Fight someone? No, I don't think it's a willing to fight. I just think that it's... I'm down. However this game go, I'm down to do whatever it takes to not even do whatever it takes, but ain't no pushover over here. And everybody on the court know it. Ain't no pushover. I know you go pick on me all game. You go call me up for screens so I can get the ISO. Do you feel me? No, I'm applying pressure. You know what it is? You feel me? You come through the lane, I'm bumping you. You're going to feel me out there. No matter what, you're going to feel me out there. You know what I'm saying?

Let's go all NBA dog team.

Out now?

Out now.

My dog's different than a lot of people.

Well, let's go to your dogs.

At center I'm putting Joe. Dog. Dog.

Yeah, I'm trying to think if there's any more dog-ish centers than him. Hard to say. Let's go, Joe.

I got Draymond in there for sure.

Dog.

I got myself in there for sure.

Okay.

I got a-.

Do you need two more dogs?

I got Anne in there.

Anne Edwards?

And the dog.

He's dog. He's full dog status? Yeah. Applies pressure?

And he'll guard you.

He's criminally underrated in 2K. What they have him at like a 89 or a 91 or some shit like that? Not that it matters. And then your final dog. You're talking about a three or four, depending on where you put your name along.

Yeah. Don't count me.

Okay, take you out. Take me out.

Yeah, honestly.

Dog.

Dog. Guard. I put Carusso in there, bitch. Really? Hell, yeah.

Because of his mentality or his playing style?

Both.

He's got a dog mentality? Yeah. I feel like people don't know a lot about his mentality.

Yeah, and for him to be a minority in his league.

Yeah, affirmative action hire.

You know what I'm saying? So you're affirming him to be a minority in this league. That's staying a lot.

Yeah, wow. Tip of the cat to him. That's a fucking dahlhawk.

He's a dahlhawk.

Underrated, understated dahlhawk.

Your dog.

Bringing White to the forefront.

Wow. Sure.

That was nice of you to include him, though.

That's the truth. Ac go hard.

Who else was it? Because I'm trying to think of the difference between all NBA, all defensive, and dahl. Because you got to be a dog to be all defensive.

Yeah, you got to do both.

But then it's a very interesting conversation.

Yeah, because a lot of people think like a lot of fans have been thinking like, Okay, yeah. How are you going to say he ain't a dog? He average 30. It's just different.

Finest 30 is a whole different brand of 30.

I like to play off Jimmy Butler, too.

Oh, that guy's a dog.

He's a damn animal. Yeah. Yeah, he's different. You feel me? Obviously, LeBron is definitely that. But you feel what I'm saying? Guys that.

- Jimmy Butler really encapsulates that.

Yeah. You turn it on and like, like, he out there. I don't know exactly what he's doing. I don't know if I even like what he's doing. But I know he's he's defending He's rebounding it. He's rebounding it. He's dying on it. He's putting it in the ground.

You're giving dog status to Dylan Brooks?

Yeah. He's got to do it a little longer.

He's one of those weird dogs, though.

He got to do it a little longer. Yeah. Yeah, that's all. A little mix. Yeah, a little mix. Dylan Brooks is a little mix. But But a a though. I respect what he do. I always always Dylan Brooks.

What about his his I.

Fuck fuck with he's he's I fuck fuck with The game with basketball is is an entertainment He's been entertaining. I fuck with it.

He's trying to be the undertaker.

I fuck with what he's trying to do. He's working and they playing well. He's playing well. He's playing well? He's playing well for his his too. You know what I'm saying? He's playing well to something like- Canada?

A Canadian boy?

Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, got to give give some credit. You got to give give credit.
