520 In The Morning - Jeff Teague on Karl-Anthony Towns MVP season, Nikola Jokic triple-double, Bryce James to Arizona

Published Jan 2, 2025, 5:00 PM

On the Thursday, January 2 episode of 520 in the Morning, Jeff Teague, DJ Wells, and B Hen debate whether Karl-Anthony Towns is the best center in the East, better than Joel Embiid after his latest 30 point-20 rebound performance in the Knicks win over the Jazz. Nikola Jokic had yet another triple-double despite playing only 3 quarters in the Nuggets blowout win over the Atlanta Hawks. Currently sitting 3rd all time in triple-doubles with 144, will Joker catch Russell Westbrook’s NBA record of 201 by the time he retires? Finally, the guys react to LeBron James son, Bryce James committing to the University of Arizona, and talk about whether he has the talent to make it to the NBA like Bronny did.

#Volume #Club

The volume. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells.

During this morning by my two brothers to my left, Bishop pending to my right, my brother tig Fellas.

Good morning.

How y'all doing so, bro man chilling, Happy new year, Happy new year man.

Yeah, twenty twenty five, The show man started off right in.

It right, Yeah, y'all been dming me. I'm locked in today. Okay, motherfuckers research you know, be watching the game.

You did, right. I ain't watched that weekends period.

I wasn't watching that weekends, but I was locked in yesterday.

So now talk shit, don't watch the game. See you don't watch.

Talk shit today. I'm locked in after your inside. They said that pushed you over to the edge. We start getting sources TD like that. Yeah, I had took a break. I was tired of watching bad basketball. But I'm back now.

Me having my insiders and Washington game just raised my level the world and get out here rank.

For show listener. It's good basketball took place last night. Cat went crazy. We we spoke about him all last year. He said, if you hear the right way, man going crazy as they took care. You know what I'm saying of the Jazz no problem. Even with Brunson out, other two player stepped up for show. You had Bridges with twenty seven, og with twenty two, Josh Hart fifteen fourteen and twelve trippy dub the last when at least cat thirty one twenty one to four Championship Knicks man, I mean, I don't know if they Championship Knicks, but they playing at a high level with JB being out or capitulated the team and the other guys to step up and play well.

I mean we expect that though.

Going against a Utah team, I mean I think they're playing for the number one pick, so it really doesn't matter.

But seeing Sexton and Clarkson.

Having big nights, they capable scorer that should be on the trade block soon.

Off for shirt listen. They both had twenty five yesterday.

They are definitely auditioned it for a new team and they deserve to be free as well. Man, those are two really solid guards right there as we Landry Shipman also getting back with the Knicks.

That's another little sneaky pick up for that team too.

Knockdown shoot, I know he was out with a should her hand. I think, yeah, so welcome him.

Back.

They did the right thing by bringing him back. I think he got hurt with them, yep, bringing them back. It's pretty cool though.

Man.

Listen, we look at these rotational players for the next of all the contributions they have to this team. Man, a tripled up, not even ran up, but just slight for Josh Hart yesterday contribute fifteen, fourteen to twelve. We talked about og and Bridges then getting twenty plus.

Hey, man, they might get it easter to run for their money. Man.

You know, I will talk about the pole it later, but if they gonna keep paying at this level, man, getting these type of contributions, man, they're gonna be a really tough team to beat in the playoffs.

They found that groove Bro's no game win streak. It's good for them because they started off real, real slow, you know what I mean. So SIONI at the locker room. I'm not saying it was messed up, but they they came to like them. Can't just kill We gonna follow in line basically.

I know Dante's sick. Yeah, well you gotta be sick.

Bro.

The leader squad and they still doing well, and you know, the be in Minnesota where's are up and down struggle right now?

I know he's sick, all right.

He probably felt like how like the mar felt when he left Toronto.

They got he just got to really click me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, because the Knicks, I ain't gonna say they better than Boston, but they been looking real good.

Bro. Yeah, they popping. They popping right now. That's sure.

And the chemistry is obvious. I think that's what stuff about it too.

You got a lot of.

Different pieces you brought there. Everybody gotta get along, and it just seemed to work as well. Obviously you said they're letting cat kill and then you know, having JB as your closer, and you got phenomenal role players in that team. That's a that's a really good team. They have a short team. Yeah, it's a really good team. I'm nervous about their bench though. I don't think they got a bench. Oh you name somebody off the bench that's doing anything for me? I would love to see. I know Tims don't play nothing but five or six people, but yeah, pressures are chore. You have moments where he's good, but I don't know in the playoffs, he's gonna need somebody that come off that bench and give you a spark. I know Campaign had big moments doing his son's run off the bench. Maybe he could bring something. But Miles with bro I'm sure once he gets back, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I mean he had moments last year that it was great, But I don't don't know if that's enough. I don't know if they got that super X factor off the bench. So Mitchell Robinson looking like you know what I'm saying. He might come back in the next month or so, So I still waiting on that, you know, like that as a backup at respect, Mitchell was smooth contribute for the team.

I think what I'm scared of is the lack of experience when they when they calm down like Boston and already did that, so ship might get spooky with them them different lights in the finals. So I don't know.

They got a couple of guys who've been to the conference finals with a couple just went to the finals. The team though, cat been to the conference finals. Uh, I mean as a team together, they had an experience. You're right, Boston have they got the same team from last year, But I don't know. It's interesting I just think that six man off the bench gonna have to have to play a big role for them.

Just somebody.

They got to get somebody else that can have explosive night.

Boston got more interchangeable parts. Yeah yeah in New York.

What position I think that they need because I think I'm looking at this roster right now and I'm thinking if they get something else that's like firepower wise, they need somebody that's probably at the two because everywhere else I feel like they just find that. I think they need a backup big, like because Kat gonna getting foul trouble. I promise you, Kat gonna getting foul troll. They need a backup big. You like Mitchell Robinson, I don't. I don't love him. I wish they could have kept Harden stunted and this team would be perfect. I would have been the best team ever, one of the best teams that It'll been great great.

I mean, they back up big.

It's a top ten center or whatever if they had Heard and Styn, But they need another big that can make like, can be effective on offense because Cat is killing. But when you bring Mitchell Robinson and he's just a live threat, I got you you take away from that. Yeah, I mean, imprecious. I mean, I don't know if that's what they look for as well, but that is a very valid point.

It was one thing we.

Know Cat gonna do a on foul and in the postseason when we get to them teams where it's a little bit closer, you get to the Milwaukee himself to Yeah, let's say they run into Philly and this is like Philly healthy and the Knicks running the Philly Oh yeah and B and B Yeah, he's gone foul.

He ain't no joy.

Yeah, for sure. We look at at the Jazz as well. We talk about a lot of pieces on that team that can help some other teams. We talk about layd Market and Walker Kessler, Sex and Clarkson. You thinking that those guys are gone pretty.

Soon, helping Laurie, Help Laurie get out of there first, Get Laura out, get him out of there first.

Okay, I could see sex and Clarkson going as going to help some teams that need guard play or like you said, bench play, because six for twenty two, shit, we of them night. Hey, I'm I'm experts. Should I want to six to twenty two is nasty? But I'm still shoot anyway. So what who went six between two?

Laurie? Yeah, I don't know who they let I don't know.

I know all of them, probably on the block, but I don't know who they let go, Like I don't even care. I know Jordan Clarkson can help a bunch of teams sex and two. He got the capable ability to score and guard.

But I don't know. We'll say, but.

When win two pressed about the Utah Jazz updates, neither ever.

The Nuggers got the win.

Yes, your Hawks won thirty nine to one, twenty man thirty straight win.

Beat the ass Yeah, it was a tough game.

It got Spokey and Joker were crazy tripping up in three quarters, twenty three, seventeen to fifteen.

And that's incredible. Man.

I know we'd be saying this a light, but it's every night he's putting up like ridiculous numbers a PJ twenty one and four, Jamal Murray had twenty one, Russell Westbrook sixteen or eleven, but Trey still had thirty and nine.

Now, hold on, is that four assists or four rebounds?

Four? Oh?

Yeah, we gotta get that makes sense at least four cysts. The last we put smuggle on his name because we know he'll pass. But adding this last time, yeah, that was cat but it was for last night. He was doing this thing, playing out of his body.

That's probably his career high. Yeah, I mean yeah, guy not know for swinging, winning for they was bounding.

Hey, that's funny if we're looking at all the trouble.

Something happen this game. But we're happy that I got four. That's nast you know what. That's already my Oh that's only too for a rebounds we got again were getting till my own team.

It was almost my verify the games.

Shouts, I don't how to be so that's crazy. He really don't pass. That's why we said. That's really crazy. That's hilarious man.

Now, but Westbrook, like yea, he missed one shot in the last two games, probably the most efficient basketball have been playing.

That's crazy. Do he continue to be a starter now?

And since they groove even though Aaron Gordon is out, do you keep starting or do you bring Aaron Gordon back?

And now you're gonna have to bring Aaron Gordon back. I don't though you hooping right now? Yeah? Is that how it works in the NBA.

No, I mean most of the time you don't lose your starting job. Not most teams, like with the Hawks. Motherfucker been like, yeah, you're gonna keep coming off the bench. That's how That's how Bud works. But who he used to work. But I was just wondering because they playing so well. I think it's it's freeing up Murray a little bit. With you know, Westbrook able to run the point. He can kind of go to his natural position, which is a two guard, and he kind of playing a little free. So now you got two point guards basically on the floor with Joker in Westbrook because Joker, we know he pass first big or whatever. But now you got Westbrook who's been being like the ultimate point guard right now. You know he only shooting six seven shots a game, he's just making them. He being super efficient. Now it's freeing up Murray to be able to be himself. I don't know, do you continue to work with that. I mean, you're probably gonna see a lot of that lineup now because it's obviously they yelling. I was just wondering, but I'm sure Gory gonna get a starting spot back. But I mean, I think, like you said, NB, we know when it comes to that money situation, he gonna be back in start line. But do we see that line up a little bit more often?

I don't know.

Mike mal is a great coach, so I would imagine he got to keep it back of the head.

If it's working, for sure, I'm sure we'll see that lineup a lot. Do you think they still need to add another piece.

I know we talk about this a lot, but they still need to get another score off the bench for that team.

Yeah.

I don't think they need to go for Cam no more. I think they're starting to find a groove in PJ. Maybe leave Cam over here in Brooklyn right now, but they might need to find one more piece that can score off that bench.

I don't know exactly who. I don't know who fits that system.

I know Jordan Poole can play in that system, but he makes so much money.

I don't think that's gonna add up. That would be a hell of a track. Yeah.

I know that Jordan Poole can play without the ball. He played with the Warriors, so obviously you know he know how to play real basketball. But I don't think he makes too much money to be over there. I'm not sure who has a smaller contract that fits that system.

Yeah, I gonna say PJ getting paid too, but I still think or is getting paid more than that, so they'd have to do more if they wanted to do that situation.

Yeah, I would not. They both on max deals, but I wouldn't trade M p J for the Jordans. Cool. That's a bad that's a bad trade because you get smaller.

Yeah, that's the only contract I think that you could match up. Like you said, it would be taking a lot to make that happen for him, but that.

Will be dope.

If they made it happen though, and they didn't, least they be paying a lot of money people because they got paid too.

Yeah, I mean they ain't. The money won't add up.

But who's a who's a smaller wing that can score that you think it might like a Cam Thomas.

I was gonna say Cam Thomas is my next stop.

But yeah, I don't know if he ever played winning basketball really, but it's time that you bring your ass off. Will figure everything. Ouse he definitely gets scored. He definitely come off that bitch and scored. I'm something on him. And Rust off the bitch at the one or two. He can definitely score scary, yeah, rust my lord gonna set him up perfectly to do what he do best, be unbeatable Bro for sure. Man, y'all still had thirty nine. None of the snakes at the show man, Damn, that's crazy. I wasn't even looking at that. I ain't even read the thing like nine and two of Westbrook starting. I was just saying it because it was in the groove. That's funny, My bad, y'all. I started reading this ship before we started, all right, But Rushbrook leader approved. It was all top of two o one shots production team, love, y'all. Joker got one forty four started all time. You think he's gonna get up to catch Russ. No, that's tough.

No. Two one to.

One forty four ain't too far off, y'all. He ain't damn or done unless he fuck around the hanging up. I said no at first because I didn't know it was a fucking one hundred and forty four of them.

So he got far Bro sixty four. But Westbrook still playing. We're gonna say Rushbrook is still playing. But the forty party is what did Russian start hating on but he got ten system you got Now you ain't catching my record.

Because I don't think Russe is still healthy. Rus's gonna have to keep going. Yeah, what's gonna need ship twelves?

I mean, I don't know a nigga getting this in this every day. Yeah, I don't know if he's gonna get the triple doubles.

If he's getting this every day, y'all play one hundred and eighty five games here, bro.

Yeah, he get a lot of double doubles. I mean, obviously he got a lot of triple doubles.

But and and they don't even be like bear, they'll be.

Ten sixty games.

Bro.

Yeah, I mean a triple double is harder to do. I mean, I'm not saying he ain't a triple double hard to do. I mean, how many are you?

What year? What year is this? Uh? Nine, you're nine? He could do three more years? Say how many triple doubles is that a year?

So if you're going about about one forty four, if he gets thirty a year for three years, he'll.

Catch Russ Bro. That's not even that's a So he gets four year basically, Yeah, like four years like yeah, no, disrespecting the arts. Yeah, how many years a year?

Forty four? He gets sixteen on average? Damn hard, I mean sixteen on average. He got a four year nine. Yeah, he's not gonna play sixteen years.

Oh yeah, that's it's gonna shatter it. Bro. Yeah, it's good, I think. Yeah. I mean, let's say, yeah, he gonna catch him.

Yeah, if we play, if you played a year of fourteen thirteen, yeah, he gonna catch him.

Yeah.

Getting some hoty shopping done this weekend. Pick up some touchdowns.

They're all still at Draft King Sportsbook, an official sportsbook partner of the NFL. What else would you expect the numbering to play the bet touchdowns? Grab some tds with Draft Kings Sportsbook. They're all sell from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday. That the Draft Kings Sportsbook app And he used Cold Club fill twenty top there. That's Cold Club five twenty only on Draft Kings. The crown is yours cross the Joker, bro. Bro, he gonna catch for sure.

Man. That's crazy that they even both on the same thing like that too.

That's what's harder about it. You know what Russ is probably know Joker been doing this thing. But Russ probably giving me some more game on this night. You can do this, just relax and got this one.

And it's crazy that Russ got this would happened like years that we thought was some par he didn't get the opportunity to do what he do best average.

This year he's almost there. But even crazier though Russ did that at six three for two years. Okay, so we don't have to do better. Well, he's a point guard. That's what makes it so unique.

He's a point So what's the terrible name? Oscar Robinson?

He has rile. He did it about that high respect. Let's move out to get you know, I'm on that.

Ever since their program, game has been beef with the nephews.

Since get it with us on the Robinson filby the seven Sixers blowing nine point lead with three minutes left in the game, it's to lose to the Kings won thirteen to one. Oh seven year Fox went crazy yesterday thirty five before Eleague Monk dub two on the seventeen to twenty one to seven twenty one rebounds is insane.

That's crazy. You play real for real PG had thirty eight.

And five and Tyre Smacks had twenty seven to seven man all those it says more about the Kings.

It says more about the seventy six ers for this game.

It's the seventy sixers when they blew a league. They had the game in a rap three minutes ago, blow a nine point lead.

I mean, if it's a lot of time in the NBA.

Yeah, but you got proven players and Paul George proven player in Tyre's MAXI I know, and b didn't play, but you got to be able to bring that home, you know what I'm I mean. But Fox of them are playing at all, They hooping. You know, he's playing free now. They got a new coach, Chris Christie out there letting him play free. Fox probably having the time of his life. So I don't know, I guess I would say that the Kings are playing on the high right now.

I mean it's a bad loss for the Sixers because you'all can't afford it.

Though, because they're playing on the high end. It's on the road, but.

Y'all can't The Sixers can't afford to lose.

No more blunders.

Yeah, they came bro they trying to give it into the playoffs.

So Hm, they can't go to trying to tank.

Yeah, they ain't trying to change. I don't know what the King's trying to do, but I know for sure the Sixers are not trying to change. They at least want to be playing worthy. We can't afford losses like that. That's that's true for sure.

When I ask your question, we talked about Guards in the East making it the year and Fox getting All Star Game beverage in twenty seven, six.

And five having the hell of a year. But it is the West.

I don't know if he makes the All Star team because they pretty low on them standards. What are they in the West about eleven twelve at twelve twelve? Another case the case of lamellow y'all, let y'all do y'all, let's let's stay right if.

You can throw to the top of leaves of the guards.

I don't think he makes it over James Harden just because of the way James Harden has the Clippers playing.

I think that he'll get to not he's played more than John Moran. John Moran's been hurt a lot, but he's gonna be a fan vote. Uh, Luca will be out Irie that's the question. Does he make it over Kyrie Irving? I say no, because he's been carrying the load while Luca's being injured this year a lot.

Yeah, he might make it. Do we make it over Steph Curry? What Steph Curry averaging? I mean, will be starting the off record. Obviously the thing's going to vote that.

But dang, he might.

He might get snubb He might just I don't know if we can say snub just of the team record, but I mean, dear Fox the fuck hooping, But yeah, it might get spooky for that.

Fox gotta make it. I think he's gonna make it. He gotta make it.

Bro, I don't I don't believe it's crazy.

Bro.

What's Kyrie stats? If you're my meeting, because that's.

What dearon Fox average in twenty seven and nine, y'all can't snub me.

Bro seven and what not?

He that's twenty seven, six and five. But Kyrie what twenty four, four and five? Basically that's the same thing. Yeah, but we're not twelfth in the West. Yeah, he making it, Kyrie makes it. Yeah, I'm saying Jamal Murray, no, no Rockets guards, James Harden, Yes, Anthony.

It was just.

Spurs getting winby for show.

But he got a chance. You gotta put kd in, Devin Booker, Darren Fox. Who's going Dearren Fox?

This ship won't dearon Fox because I'm sure they're Devin Booker better than.

Booker, whoa rell with that. I'm standing on that. Okay, how do you feel about that? I'm not I like Daron Fox. I like to take.

I'm not mad at it. I mean, if I'm starting a team, I'm taking the book I'm taking. We're talking about two cold players. But if you're starting a team taking de Aaron Fox or Devin Booker, you.

Know what I'm saying, because that's my my leader, my point guard. I'm taking the Fox.

So you'd rather build around d Fox and Devin Booker. Definite.

Booker gonna be leaked on any team he's own. But if I need some what if? I what if my rest of my team is demn their duds.

So you're saying he can't he can't lead the group like Daron Fox. No, I ain't mad at that. Take.

Like I said, we this is two great players, but I'm not mad at that.

I mean, look, Devin Booker. Is he cold elite? But if I'm dearon Fox is like a dominant point guard. He's talking about starting the team, leading the team.

I'm rock on him.

I'd rather have a shaky two guard, like not shaky, but I don't want to depend on my two guard to league my team. I'd rather have an elite PG over elite two guard. I agree with you get a team rocking with that.

I didn't like when Devin Booker played point guard last year. Yeah, I don't think it was I didn't think it didn't make sense. Yeah, it didn't. It didn't look good.

Yeah, he's he gets paid a lot of money to put the ball back other people. So you put Baron Fox on that son's team, you trade him for Devin Booker.

Team way better, way better? Yes, because now by Bradley Beal can breathe. Yeah, he's playing the him. This this the book team. I don't want to do too much. Let me get my little seventeen in chill and nigga get on that team with Darren Fox broably back to twenty plus. The mar de rosen Is average still twenty points, along with the Aaron Fox right now.

Yeah, so Baron Fox more of a scoring guard. I wouldn't say you're a point guard.

He is.

He's not a pure point guard. But I just feel like he don't need the ball as much as Devin Booker need the ball. HM, it's better to me. I feel like it's better having Daron Fox averaging twenty with another nigga average twenty over the book because.

You don't like how the get twenty.

I like Darren when you have another Like if Devin Booker had DeAndre Hunter, I think it'd be different because Dandre I mean DeAndre Hunter know how to get in worry for it in Bradley Bell is a star bro Kevin I we ain't gonna stitch on nobody, but my fucker did tell us like it was hard playing with some niggas, like because the egos and ship.

So I don't know.

I just think role players will be better fit with Devin Booker than Darren Fox. So what I'm saying Darren Fox can rock with two other killers.

Is a point.

I am imagine that take it off. Great explanation as well, for sure. Listen between these two teams under performing, who's who? I think it turned around. We talked about the six Ers day to day, but then they do moments like this.

Where they blowing games they absolutely need, I mean be out. So when B plays, I think the Sixers can turn it around. Obviously.

I think they're a better team win B the Aaron Fox and them the Sacramento I think they playing on the high, you know, I mean, I think, But once they leave Sacramento, when they get on the road, they last two games been at home. Once they hit the road, we'll see if they're really serious about this turnaround or if they're really comfortable with Dug Christy at the un running the show or whatever. So we gotta see him on the road for sure. And shouts to Doug Christy getting naw. You know what's funny, I wonder, like some of those sister coaches, it's like being a backup quarterback, like you always ready to be like, damn, I think I was gonna play today. Deud Christy was not expecting to have a real job like responsibilities probably the rest of this year.

I wonder if he really wanted that role though.

I mean, I know when you're getting the coach and it's like, oh man, if I was running it, because I remember a guy shout out to Ryan. He used to always talk about, Man, when I become a head coach, I do things like this, and one day like you the head coach and he was like, oh ship, and he wasn't doing nothing.

Like he said he was gonna do everything. Went back to like, well just run the play he used to run, you know what I'm saying.

Like Doug is a development coach too, though, so that probably is a hard task from an attack.

Yeah, That's why I was wondering.

It was like, especially no off seasons is prepared.

You just got thrown it to the fire and you got to deal with a whole like they probably just like I'm just trying to make sure you get out here.

He's comfortable with that team though, ye with him.

He really been around the King's organization for a long time with that player development.

So but like he said, I'm gonna just get out their way. I'm gonna let Dearon do his thing. I'm gonna let Debo do him. I'm gonna let Monk do them and some Bonus do him. Like I'm gonna get out their way. They know what they like, they know what they need to run, they know who can play yeah. I respected that though.

For sure.

Man shots, Doug Christy, Man take Batch, Opportunity, King, Bryce James smiss Arizona packed, well, I forgot what it is packed whatever. Now so everybody up.

At twelve now ship six maybe how you feel about that?

Man?

That's a crazy sitsue, not crazy, but that's an interesting choice for sure.

Offers plenty different places. We know that for sure.

Look is Gilbertsun going here?

Is this a basically gill Son and goes to Arizona? Papoos? Dad. I don't know where gilt Song going.

Because they are, that'd be far if they linked up there. They friends though, and I don't know. I'm not no disrespect he going with this guy? Yeah, I just I don't know if this is the overlay for the underlay. I don't want to say. I'm not calling Brince James lit Romeo.

Yeah, he wrote me on the debo.

I was just asking, like it's at the bait to get him to the Arizona.

Because you know I got it already.

Yeah, like I think I think Brince James, he goes to Arizona, he's going to play.

Well.

I just want to know. I just want to know the play okay, perspect I just want to know to play. I like Brince James. I ain't beefing with him. That was kind of a little disappointed when I seen him this summer. And he wasn't six seven or six eight in person. When we saw him at the pack, he was, you know, six three. He's been a little taller than Jeff. But outside of that, no problem. You just don't go to Arizona for no reason. Bro, I don't care. Nobody, no, you do not.

Jeff Arizona school. Michael George some went to Illinois because his dad is Michael George shadow my little Jeffery George.

And he was decent. Though I hate Jeffrey. Jeffrey was smooth. He just wasn't the brown. Now, Jeff was better than Brace. Jeff Jordan was better than Brice.

Hey, you know it's quiet.

I swear that got it was I played Georgian.

I played it Jeff anybody he had bound, he had dumb bounce my mom, he had bound. I'm tapped in. Yeah, but market though Brince James, you know, Marcus is the best at the family.

Marks. That's really.

So.

We know some ever on him. But Brice James is better than Jeffrey.

He's not. Brownie is better than Jeffrey, but Bryce is not better than If they ever did a Lenneas versus, that'd be hilarious. Give me who Lendy is just better though, because bron made to the league. So no, I'm a game. No, But y'all Jordan family, the longevity is different because that's what you'll do when y'all compare the best players. Y'all. Y'all didn't take off court. I'll be trying to stay on the court. Y'all take off the court. The court. Jame's family could never off the court. I should never.

If they catch Barnie out there like Marcus trying to kill that family. Bro.

I love to the Jordan family on this show for sure, but little.

Brother always the whole, like go to Arizona? Is I want to have fun? Man is about to have the best life ever. Is Jello better than Jeffrey Jordan? Probably? Yeah? Nah, Jeff you Wilder probably yeah. He played Illinois, he did not play. If he's the sunglasses, he would play. He did not play. Jeff Is Wilder.

Jeff Jordan was good, bro, Yes, jeff to play My daddy is the league.

What are you talking about? He went on the broadcast. He could have been bro. Jeff Jordan was pretty good, bro. I'm not he was bro, but you said he better than Jello Ball. It's crazy. I shouldn't say he better nowhere near. I don't know. They both play I'm sleep? What was I'm sleeve? Jeff didn't go to you. You U c f bro. He went to Illinois. Well, your Google all funked up Illinois and he played I was market. Stop putting.

It's like Jeff Tea's award that got passed to somebody.

To the league. He had a hornets run Bro, he got a horn thiss Jersey Bro.

I don't know, we'll have to verify that, shouts to Brice James, shout out, No, disrespected Jelo because I know he ain't in high school.

They was it was cold. I think we disrespecting Jeff Geordan. He was actually good.

No, I said.

Boss brought it up that Nigga could jump out the gym, Bro for sure, but he could not score the ball like li Azelo Bro probably thirty four.

So when I say player, I mean it's part of you. Put him in a game. How effective will he be? Jello got buckets.

I'm taking jel Loo.

We got set the versus now.

But Diycman and Illinois Jeff Jordan did get in the game. I didn't never see him in u C like in y'all.

I think China, so we were still in Bro. Yeah, I ain't the only thief. You just yeah, let's go to these games.

Last y'all, crazy Pistons beat the Magic one of five ninety six. Jade I had twenty two, but well, wishes to him. I know he got pretty bad injury yesterday. Had to take him offrom the strutch so was up. Yeah, prayers up for Jaydon Ivy for sure. Man well wishes k Cunningham nineteen eight and nine. That sucks had twenty four. Yeah, that was just a tragic game. Man, Picton's got the dub. That too much to speak about there, but please give well some j nighty for sure. Wizards beat the Bulls that stay one twenty five seven. Poole had thirty full party and then Jack Lavinnie had thirty two. Another name we ain't spoke about. It probably needs to get moved on from as well, zac Lavin. Yeah, they need to fire yourself, both of them teams. The Wizards are so funny. They start all the young guys, all the veterans come off the bench and play twenty minutes. I've been there before. Get out, hurry up, get up, get out. I was that on the Hawks. I know y'all got I've seen it. Coos MoU y'all got max twenty two minutes.

I see it.

Get out of there, bro, Yeah, yeah, I've seen it.

I seen Vucevich. I said, oh, Deb, everybody only played twenty two. That's because on the block bro, they said, y'all not get hurt. I look look at them numbers.

So man, all the veterans twenty two minutes, twenty seven.

That's funny.

There's forty eight in a game. They can set out the whole half.

And get out of there, y'all and they need to play.

That is crazy. I don't know what they're gonna do, but.

Well not now.

They in them talks, that's all. You know what that is? The All Star Game or the break they're gonna see.

That was crazy, said they I know what they're doing, but I'm just saying I don't know what direction that they're going in.

The young guys about the trade out there at the bottom of the worst team in the league. We're trying to stay there.

Real shit, the fuck down, yo, come out here trying to play basketball.

Friend and the Cooper are gonna be sick.

He go to Washington, but they're gonna step in and I say that Cooper flags on his way.

They're not you.

Want to go to Portland Wizards or Utah Portland, they probably want to go to Utah. They probably want to go to Utah, but I can imagine them probably want him in the Eastern conferences.

Cooper and d C. That's a that's a nice market, that's all I said.

For the NBA to have a young star in a city like that, yeah.

I just don't know if he can have that John wall effect.

No, you're gonna have that. But to be surprising, this is not a racial thing. It's a lot of white people to go to the DC games because I remember when I was in Atlanta. I mean, it's a lot of black people to go to But it's more surprising to see how many white people go to the DC game.

Especially where it's Yeah, I can imagine that being a great market for them because they did.

Don't want Heim with a mellow ball. I would love for Cooper fire Charlotte. That would be amazing.

No, no, uproar, let's go no.

No, no, that's a fire three.

That is a fire but fire three. That market ain't for Cooper.

That's a fire out. I ain't mad that Charlotte because we were horrible.

He pulled up with a hair bone and a hell cats a new balance getting step in because that'd be that'll be.

Ship what three or four lottery picks.

That's the problem. You got numb, But lottery picks a Boston ship, turn up, say that you come up trust the process for real? Hey, I brother him to do at least places like good Boy up to the Wizards. Boy, God, damn, it's gonna be a lot on his shoulders. Bro's what I'm saying. I like that.

I wouldn't be mad to see Charlotte like that. They might get some TV games they exactly. Damn Lamello could just stay healthy, Bro, he's so cold. He's just always hurt.

Yeah, man, get will someone mellow for shure?

He beat the pell because just they one night team to win a Wait, if every white boy had thirty two or four all start twenty three, nine and.

Ten, that's that's nothing for us.

That's like, it's the Hero times. It's his team. Jimmy.

Jimmy played, but you know, Jimmy chilling, chill, Jimmy ain't trying to get hurt.

They trying to get traded. It's tall hero team.

Jimmy be clown.

Press asked me if I want to be hear not? I mean, what do you mean by that cloud.

With purple hair? I love it?

Said, damn just telling me you want to go to Phoenix, Bro. Then he went to the pig a hilarious. It's like, hey, y'all, I do I want to because I know what happens in the playoffs right now. It's Tyler Herroon. He's playing at an all time high conferences through the roof.

He gotta fade.

He just locked in right now and he ain't doing too much talk and nothing. He's just playing and he's killing.

A little shoved and do nothing to my boy confident locked in.

That judo toss that was wicked. What do you think that needs? I mean, if you move on from Jimmy, do they need to go get a guard? A point guard?

I mean you can or what do you think that? I like t Bro.

I like Tyler Herrod with the ball in his hand. He's playing well like that. I don't think they need a point guard right now. But if they do, they can go get Dearon Fox so they can go get a explosive guard. But hey, the Aaron Fox on that team, that's scared. Tell you, Bro, that's scared.

Doing inside and tomorrow. You know that's our guy, you know what I mean? Some bonus is good, but him with band Bro young core like that, they're gonna be scary, Bro, and.

The way that he organization just ran, the way they played basketball, having all those valuable players nowhere.

Push the push the ball like Darren Fox. Bro, they don't have no they trying to go up and down. Trying to go up and down. Bam is not on half court nigga bro. Yeah, so he's not.

Really that good on Yeah he is, and you can always keeping you know what I'm saying. Rose a great six miles always great.

So he be a great VET. But you're gonna you're gonna have to trade him if you're trying to get d.

He's Yeah, Duncan Robinson out of here.

Been playing some good basketball for.

Robs in the playoffs and start remember he was Colt again, d r out of here.

No, you're not Dougie Robinson.

I like him, but that's why he's a good trade bait. He's gonna do that on the next Nigga team. Uh, Buddy Hill and I love Alec Burks though Alex Burks is a quiet killer.

A concert professional, but killer for a long time.

Scotty Barr said, thirty three and thirty fresh maybe quickly twenty one to fifteen. Cam Johnson had twenty four and at Dlo's debut twenty two and eight. I told you we're gonna average twenty one on that next team. But welcome back quick. I know he had been injured most of the year, but having a big game last night. One of my favorite young players.

Yeah. Unfortunately, I hope so man.

You got picked it likes. That's funny.

Hey, a couple of college football playoff games we gotta get in tune for, y'all. Texas Secure Arizon the State and Double Ot Yesterday thirty nine to thirty one.

Game was crazy.

I thought it was gonna be a best to ask situation, but the Longhorns wanted to smoke that game regards. They still came through with it. It's funny that we brought this up. We have a whole great podcast dropping today. But getting the MVP of a game that you lost, did that resonate with you? Sery Will when we was that crazy we talked about on the podcast, but I say it again. Played in the Anaheim Classic, Mike looked it up. I want MVP, but they gave the award to James Harden that day. He ended up getting like forty almost fifty points against UH Saint Mary's when they had Patty Mills, and somehow he got the MVP that night. But on the on the fucking website you say, Jeff t want MVP, but I ain't get my award. So people who run in a high in Classic send me.

My shit.

Man, shout the camp Scautter over get if you killing when you get a VPUU lost man one forty the rest of yards, two TVs not in our CV, yards forty two pass yards and the TV again they went crazy. Texas Man Texas sold the game. Really kick shout out to the kicker. I know you somewhere praising God.

Two field goals.

But Arizona State should have won the game because they had Texas what fourth and thirteen and overtime.

And brought the noise for no reason, brought the noise.

Actually it was a bluff though, because they ain't even send them, you know what I mean, like, you're gonna whatever. I'm not a football guy, so I ain't gonna even say it. But fourth and thirteen they didn't bring the house. They faked it and the safety let them get behind them. Touchdown. We're going overtime. Texas the better team, so you knew they already were struggling to score. Yeah, Arizona State, it was a struggle for them to get point to them. A lot of stuff had to go right for them, a lot of calls, a lot of things. But what did happen though, I feel like I got cheated a little bit. Is that head on collision when that guy caught that pass. Yeah, yeah, helmet to helmet.

I was like, damn, that might have to be a call right there, and.

Yeah called targeting. Yeah, but you know the rest of it, got killed for calling it that situation too, you made but it was right. They would have gotten murdered, would murder. So I respect what the rest did, but I honestly thought it was a helmet contact.

I was like, shit, that should be targeting. Yeah, tardy might have changed that game for Shure.

Ohio State built to ASCID score is way closer than what it was forty one twenty one.

But they handled the ship out of Oregon. Man.

I told you Ohio State going and Chip y'all should have bet on it. But on draft for the teams, I like Ohio State and the forty nine ers when to come.

To football all dang get well some forty nine.

Ers, uh cold?

I pro process of wide receiving a very long time. You should be able to leave after his freshman year.

That's crazy. That's how he got good.

Come on seven to catch this one of these seven two TVs. You know it's crazy for organ situation too, Like I kind of I don't feel bad for them, but I feel bad for them, like you never on gon undefeate it.

You gotta play these guys again. That's the crazy part.

You got to spend a block against this team, would just arguably the best team in college football. That's differently not fair, bro, Like if I beat them, I shouldn't have to see them, but.

It is what it is.

Three years in college.

Yeah, it's crazy that like Marmon Harrison junior leave at Widow.

He's a top five pick.

We think he was the best wide down football last year and you get this freshman and it's like you don't miss a beat, you.

Know what I mean. Yeah, he's that good though, Like.

Yeah, he's the league. Bro, He's one of the most talented prospects we've seen it very long time. So he looks so much bigger than their DB's yesterday. I don't know how tall the Orgon DB's are. They look like little kids.

So I always feel bad for Organ because they always get into college for the playoff.

You know what, say, they be having the cold ash jerseys and ship, they be having that ship the freshest. I'll go to Oregon if I play football, though, I'll be if I played basketball, I would have thought about working to I don't know if they be there.

First, but no, no, that should that should all right to me.

I don't know. The football is different, should be crazy. It's like one hundred thousand uniforms, but shure Man.

Obviously, due to the tragedy that took place on New Year's evening Year's Day, the game for Notre Dame of Georgia got pushed to today.

Who y'all got.

Gotta take Georgia.

I got the dogs, you know, alsome? Yeah, I think it'd be a decent game though.

Even though my little brother Mark going to Nordre Dame lou I'm one of my best friends. He from South Ben That's all he talked about Norday, so I just got to go against him and time.

I think the game will be close. I think the money is spread on that. I mean the money line on that probably seventeen. I think it'll be within that.

If you if you want to win somebody tonight, put your money on Georgia.

If you're gonna win some money that ain't gonna lie to put your money on Notre Dame. Oh, but I want Georgia to win, you would? I think Norre Dame goin, But I want Georgia.

If Rudy ain't supping there the night look at the eyes of that though money check out draftings.

You know what I'm saying.

Way your best there for show VERI five buckets be here? Who started after year off?

Right?

Oh, I'm just I'm gonna still keep giving it to my younger Ian Jackson, Okay from North Carolina. Three consecutive games with twenty plus. You know what I mean. He's stepping into the new year on demon time.

For sure, trying to get out of there. I see Ian, Yeah, he said he was gonna do it. Go crazy.

King followed out a shot to you know what I mean, start coach lett him rock so shout out to Ian for sure.

Man, it's crazy, like you know with some of these kids. We see it chiut that hockey talent to day companies programs be expected them to start taking a little bit of time to get to it. But I think it's probably for the better because Ed he ain't gonna get that job up. Bro, he gonna keep killing me show he might be one of these we'll see. I'm gonna go show some love. Scottie Barnes bro thirty three and thirteen to five.

Man.

Get well soon probably Then fifty ass Raptor Bolls losing about fifty four to the Celtics a couple of days ago. Yeah, that was tragic. The Celtics could have beat them if they didn't even score in the first half.

Yeah, that's crazy. We didn't get you to got to come out the locker room and the first.

That's the woldest I didn't know that part.

That's crazy, right for me not.

To have to score in the first half and still beat you and we in the NBA together.

Yeah, the NBA together makes it funny because I don't just work here.

You work here.

Yeah, you know, because you know sometimes NBA players'll go play over in Europe and play one of the little teams like nah, bro, we in this together.
