That's what had me.

When I see it this morning, I was like, wait he posted to me like right after that, I'm like, shoving the Vegas. Cool, That's what I was on. So then when I got to my.

Phone, when y'all do that emoji ship on top of the messages, bro, Like I just I don't funk with it. So I don't really be caring about the notifications. Just say yeah, I'm good.

Now I have a question. There's a great place to start. If you said somebody a question. You know what I'm saying via text and they hit the thumbs offing about it? Is that a valid response? Is that out of pocket? Because I know some people who take that in disrespect.

I mean it kind of is though. That's just like uh shouting to Kanya. I know Kanya James. Somebody she sent somebody happy birthday and they just hearted it. They did say thank you. She was pissed. I do that ship, That's what I do. So you just like some shit.

Yeah, I mean I thank you. Just take too long, double clicking.

I'm a copy paste God. You got to help standby. Yeah, that takes too long.

It's in my notes, bro, thank you your notes.

Yeah. So on my birthday, I just everybody who texts my phone like, I just copy it and just paste it. My fuckers, be tighter, you ta hey birthday, have a great day, enjoy it, fireworks and ship you just hit to give.

Them a heart in no disrespect. I don't even send people have your birthday and stuff though. Yeah yeah, I don't feel about that stuff.

If they send you a paragraph, you hit the double tap, they're gonna fill a white for sure.

You don't send me no paragraph the double type show. I hate phones. I missed the days when we ain't have phones. Go back to the beepers. I don't want no beeper. I wish when I could leave a crib and nobody can contact.

Me, Man, that's scary these days. Shp I'm saying now, I mean if you got kids.

Yeah, that was us though. Yeah they got that bike. Nigga, it was murdered. I see you, it was murdered. I didn't even have no curfew in the neighborhood, so that was even more wicked. I had to be in when the street lights came on.

Street lights and definitely indicator And the funny shit is now laugh at kids because ship back in the day, your mom asked you to do something, click up all day, mom might see it. Nowadays, hey, take that meat out of refrigerator. All damn might talk to you. They send you a text in the call, I'll be man as a kidnap. You can't finish your parents at all.

Yeah, by the time that got to happen and I was already out the house.

Yeah, nigg I used to leave a crib back seven thirty in the morning, nigga. In the summer, all your niggasactly what you gotta be outside by eight on the bike. Niggas be like I remember Phil, Dad used to be like, at my man, you have to eat breakfast the where else. I used to be at his house eating breakfast eight in the morning.

There's a lot of them.

Eighteen had another bag.

That's at you, squaw. I used to be there so early. You and there Rober go home. Oh my god, bro, yeah, pulling up. He was out of pocket coming to somebody house. I ate this crazy now. I was there and every day they like pulling out there so early that I could block on field door that they could be like, what up getting the shower be it's going to go niggas be like, damn, nigga, I'll take summer school already. I don't want to do this. Sherff Long, that's crazy, man. As we know, summer league is slowly approaching. But what I think is dope about the summer League regards of who you feel about who's playing and whatnot. I think it's fired because a lot of those guys may not have an opportunity to be with that particular team. But everybody gets low key kind of auditioning, you know what I'm saying for their next season. It was interesting seeing Ronda Holle Jefferson talk about, like, you know what I'm saying. He was like he was out the league a little bit early. He's been going crazy over, so he's like waiting to get an opportunity to get back. And I was just seeing his testimony and stuff, and then you see like oh boy were talking about and trying to go on through it. It's just like, yeah, the NBA is a premier league, but everybody in the Summer right now who hoop it is hooping for a job that probably won't be in the league. So everybody ain't out there on bullshit. Niggas careers have been built off that.

Yeah, I see how people take it in the Big Three. They take it seriously.

Like in my head when I was going to the Big Three, I was like, it's about to be cool, Like I'm like, yeah, in the middle of the Gama start podcasts and and shit.

But I see how serious they take it.

It's like, oh, they really auditioning for other shit though, And I ain't really realize that until I got out there. Like niggas like I hear them in the locker room like I'm trying to go back to Italy.

I'm trying to go here. I'm trying.

They playing for real, Okay, my fault, you no disrespect. But the same thing with Smer league.

Mm hm.

It was crazy to hear him talk about that situation. He's like, you know what I'm saying, I do whatever I need to get back in the league and even see too many bad allegations.

It gets him.

But they got a lot of people on the other side of It's like, Okay, you got players like Miles Bridgie, got players like Kevin Porter who went through some real crazy situations that at other times would have probably got them out of the leagua or out the way to get new contracts and get new money.

And it's just like a lot of people feel.

Different ways about it, but I might at the same time, this is an opportunity that a lot of people are gonna take and I like some league niggas is playing for their live at the end of the day, Like it may look fun, may look a little like today's but now niggas.

Is hooping for a totally different reason.

And that's lowkey the best type of basketball when niggas is hooping on the live.

Nah.

Yeah, when you like on a guarantee contract, if you're a rookie or a second year player, it's kind of annoying. If you're a rookie, you're trying to impress people. If you're a second year player, you're trying to solidify, like I shouldn't be here. You're trying to kill in the first two games. You're trying to get thirty five points where they could send you home because you low key offended a little bit, especially if you play your rookie year, you really offended. But like if you ain't get to play that much every year, you're just trying to show like, yeah, I'm better than them, yeah, made yeah.

Hell yeah.

Because I was looking at some of the rosters, even like the California Classic and stuff like.

We're gonna talk about Zach Eddy too.

Put me in the game completely out of pocket, shout out to the game. But I was looking at like the Jazz, like Walker Castler, But why are you playing like I see some of them, but like some of them guys, especially like even some pacer dudes who played in rotation in the Eastern Conference one bribe, I would feel offended if I'm out here too. I know I can hop, but what am I doing out here? If I'm playing rotational minutes in the playoffs? Why am I in Summer League? Someone probably just do it for the wreck too, bro, yeah, but they's like to solidify, like you shouldn't be here, Like, give us one of two games, dominate them.

But if you don't dominate, it's like, hmm, what you've been doing since then? Blah blah blah.

But that's a risk too, because if you go in the games that don't kill, it's kind of like we can get rid of this.

Yeah, like that was gonna be my counterpoys rid of this. If you go kill, you expected to kill because you don't play in the real minutes. But if you out there and get hooplo and this just like, oh, maybe this is bullshit.

Because if you're in a rotational minutes in the playoffs, you should go to the league. I ain't saying some can get fifty, but you should be twenty five.

But the thing is, your role on that team is different than it is gonna be on the summer league team. Like some people are better NBA players than they are summer league players. Like I might fit a role on the team, i might be a catch and shoot knocked down three, but I'm playing with Tyrese Haliburton, so I know I'm waiting in the corner. I'm ready to shoot. I mean Summer League. I ain't playing with Tyres Sliburn. I'm playing with oh boy that just came from Georgia. He ain't passing the ball like that. So they expect me to go get the ball and be Tyrese Haliburton and do some stuff that I really can't do no more.

Because I've been playing me.

Yeah, because I've been playing with this dude and I didn't fit it a row. And I remember my second year coming in the Summer League. We didn't do something league my rookie year, but my second year, going into Summer League, I had already been in the NBA mindset, like picking pop with Ale, you know, I mean picking pop with Joe Smith. I'm being a point guard. Now in the Summer League. They want you to go out there and get thirty. I'm like, now, if this was a year before, I would have gave y'all thirty five every game. But now this year, I'm in this mode where I'm looking for pocket passes, kicking it to the corner, and you're playing with a bunch of dudes that don't know nothing about that.

Yeah, so you look bad. I look kind of bad. My second year.

It wasn't like I was killing me and Jordan Crawford was just taking turns shooting, but I wasn't looking like good.

I'll never forget that.

And that's very interesting that you said that, because I think the one thing that people kind of missed with those situations. If you got somebody who specialized in open gym a sumer league, they gonna look like that nigga. But if you have a player who's used to a system or you used to play in a particul away with guys want know nothing about that. They are probably rookies from the eight team where they shot the ball fifteen times. Coming into assistance you already matured. Then that ship to a hell of a balance and it makes you look bad. But you do everything the organization wants you to do, but then they might ridicute you.

On this shit, which is crazy. At the same time. I mean, yeah, because at the end of the day, it's still hoop. So it's like you got to be out there, go out there and perform, but it's it's kind of difficult if you not like it. Just a natural bucket getter, Like if you were just a natural bucket getter hooper like you and Jamal Crawford, he can play anywhere because every team he went to that just tell him to do you like be that everybody don't get that privilege, and it all's a lot of dudes. That's nice that you will seem like, why the hell he ain't in the NBAU he ain't get that same least just to go out there and be like, go do that.

But part of the game.

That shit sparked the conversation because I was watching some Summer League highlights and I watched Jo Smith play in the Summer League in two thousand and nine, after he had been in the league for like five or six years, keep it out there killing from don't want to get the ring bro.

He one of them dudes.

And at five or six years, your confidence so high, Like like now, if you put me in a Summer League game a year three or four, I would have went berserk, like because my confidence was so high.

But like in your first year, after your first year.

And you didn't get to play, you really ain't that confident, Like you're kind of like, damn, I want to kill, but nigga, you ain't played in a year, really, so your confidence might be a little low.

But after four or five I didn't started.

I then had thirty five points in the NBA for this is gonna be a breech Hell yeah. And I think we're so dope about it now that they've made it so marketable. You got the Marquee games on, you got the young rookies that you just saw in college rapp up that you excited to see. Even some of the second year players we were talking about coming back. We talked about last episode a little bit, but I'm really excited to see that Timber with summ League team. I think Rob billing him as a person who can go out there and really, I mean already got a name obviously, but he could go out there and really make a big showing because we're looking at people like Donmind Mitchell who went out there and killed got a shoot deal off that ship. Now we obviously know that ain't normal, But it's any names I want to see in the Summer League or any people all always know what I'm saying, who I see transition like because you know a lot of times in college they get held back by programs in college coaches. Now you're gonna see a little bit of like all right, shows you a lot of your pick type shit.

Yeah, I just me personally. I just like I said, only I'm only here for connect. Everybody else can just do their thing.

Bro, I don't. I don't care about Simil League because I know.

They know that ship don't really because you don't get that same freedom. So even though Rob go out there and he can have sixty five points in the game, it's gonna be hard, but I'm like, damn, he can score to them off. Yeah, nigga, when he gets to that team, Anthony Edwards is getting that ball.

It's getting the bolve.

He might get you about eight or nine ten off the bench, but he ain't gonna have a ball like that for sure.

You want to know what the best thing about being a sportsman is, it's only two days in the entire year that we don't have any games in any sport. So with all that.

The Crown is yours. Also the best part about the summer too. We got the Olympics going on Team USA, opportunity to see a little bit of that footage Cooper flag look like the one. A lot of people with doubting it.

But I've been said, why that's crazy? Bro? He like, and I know people are always just high school, like you can tell the motherfucker's game. He really liked that. Bro. He cold man AJ to be fucking up his name. I think it's the band, So whatever.

Bro, aj de basket, what's fun and the t are really pros for real?

Bro.

Yeah, so Mount verd and got him all the way together. He's from Maine too, and like that. Yeah, so he ain't really grow up pooping with like we did, you know what I mean, in our city or Chicago or New York. Like he really went to work bro in Maine and then went to that big ass e YbO circuit and dominated, then dominated at Mount Verd. He gonna kill it, Dupe. He did number one draft pick.

The thing is, you could tell when somebody just special, like he got a twin brother or a brother or something. He don't look like him, don't he's not tall as him, he don't jump like him.

He playing big man. He played a big man. He like say the Cooper flag like six teen, you could tell like the Boozer swim. Yeah, they're both good.

But just like you could tell it, you can see it.

That's why I was like, yeah, he not Boozer are supposed to go straight out of high school. He supposed to be able to go straight out of high school. We really just holding him back like that one year at Duke. Ain't gonna do nothing but hurt him, Like God forbid this happened or something. But he twisted ankle and got set out the whole year. Shit Like Kyrie, ain't no point Brown going to college.

Bro.

He was an NBA player, Bro. He played ten games in college.

Yeah, and you look at j de bet, Bro, He's going to murder at the next level and he's still seventeen. He got another year of school and he even jumped up like we can we can tell the ones like the rules on the plot of everybody, but special players like them.

We know they like that.

But to see him in that scrimmage was fired to see, like, I know the Select team, everybody back got this Select team and said, no, they're typically pro players, Like, yeah, now they're good.

He was just doing man, he was doing my boy wild left bad. He's sixteen. I'm just saying, bro, I was like to be going at like Drew like that is crazy, bro. Confidence. He was just out there hooping.

Yeah, I mean, but it's easy to play when you playing free. Yeah, it's easy to play when it ain't no rules really for you. You really the test dummy, So it's easy. I mean, has to said, venteen year old, you really can't do nothing wrong. Everything is agreeing for you, even if you're getting killed. He's seventeen. Yeah, but if you have a moment like you just said, he scored on Drew like he's only seventeen, So it was a win win situation.

It's the whole thing for him.

But this just solidified him being the number one pick to have success against the USA team and all them star caliber players.

Yeah, it's a done deal.

Yeah, he get into it.

And I like the fact that they scrimmage you, like I've seen choice out there, which was fire to see. But I think what's so crazy is that they voted that Lebron is the best player in the team USA.

Listen to y'all, I get it.

Who voted up to Apparently the team votered Lebron is the best player on the team.

That's just a yeah.

But Bron is like Bron is that dominant though, where he could take over a practice, Bro, especially in the USA. Shitro, is he the guy final?

Now? Yeah?

Them showing that picture of him at four and in and now you've been a limit team twenty years, Bro, But like took him. Like everybody's saying that he practiced so hard and he worked so hard and practice.

But it's like I used to.

Didn't believe that kind of shit, but now I really believe it because, like, Bro, you've been that good for that loan. Bro, it takes a certain type of work, Like I just think about getting up every day now, like I go work out, but I don't do nothing crazy. I'm like I'm trying to maintain some shit, so I don't look crazy, like to be that good for that long since she was eighteen. Yeah, Bro, you're worth ethic got to be something crazy.

Bro. And I remember a couple years ago, Bro, he had a quote and he was talking about like having rest time. He was like, shit, my body hurt when I have rush. He said, I'm used to getting up and doing everything string with every day. That's how I maintained. I'm like, yeah, that nigga different, bro, because there's no way you can get up. It's like, damn the rest that hurts. But if you've been moving like that since she was fourteen years old, your body probably just used to that.

He different, Bro.

The healthiest NBA player ever.

Bro.

Yeah, for sure.

He never had a serious He ain't never had a serious injury. I mean he had his ankle that one year, but that really wasn't too much and none.

Ye, Like I was still contacting to that like a year.

But I remember watching Lebrons and really twisted ankle, him tied his shoot, limp down the court and catch the bar half court and come out and dunk.

Nigga.

Shaun Stevenson is my witness, Bro, this nigga rolled his ankle. I swear to god, that bitch touched off flow. We got like, we ain't hype he heard, but we like he's out. He got the Witness game, he's out.

Nigga. Nigga did like that.

Like that, I said, Nigga started wiggling his foot stay in the games we played for the I think it was the heat.

I was like, he's like, yeah, it's not.

Real, bro.

Activated that boy touched the ground and did that and start wooking.

That's why I said, he.

Wasn't supposed to say that.

Bro.

Yeah, I was like, yeah, that's that monster. Yeah, I said some butt, some kick, some kick shown season looked.

At each other like, I'm like, yeah, he out.

Yes, So I wouldn't hope he was severely hurt. But ships, I ain't gonna know you out. Now did that one hundred times. You got to shut that one out.

You just did it. I'm like, you got to shut that out.

Running faster. He came back stronger. The boy got activated.

Remember Lebron Shaun Steve used to be with Distant over bottled whistle Bit.

That's crazy. That's a crazy disc record.

Shout Steve, get this over something for the freaks is crazy.

You're talking about these holes. Bro Steve.

They said Soldier Boy wrote D Steve a dish track brown or something.

I can't remember. I got a problem.

Social boy used to goost rider.

That's a problem. I got it. No, he ain't right it.

I mean I think Soldier Boy did something with D Steve came to the game or something.

D Steven. That's crazy.

That's crazy, bron got Oh, John Steve got Soldier Boy.

You were the coolest team that's I ever had.

He was. I want him to come on the show and talk about that time with him and Gilbert was shooting when Gilbert a beating, Like, I want to because I.

To find when you say Gilbert shooting, because you know they go to a couple different ways on the internet.

Nah, Bro on the court, we'll get Yeah. I want to hear like how that started and ship because niggas talk about I'm just saying, y'are talking about work at the niggas said Gilbert Eringi's work ethic.

It's crazy, Yeah, second to none. Everybody know that in the league.

They like Gilbert crazy and that's crazy because you would think at that level where so many people kind of not log jail with talent because everybody NBA talented to an extent, like either if it's on the lower and the higher everybody it's cold to get to that level.

But that work at the.

Ship really be meeting and ship especially at that like it separates the superstars from the all stars to the midst air players.

But I can also see.

When you get comfortable enough on the contract, bro, I can relax a little bit, like I undeveloped my game.

Now that's the crypto for everybody that happened to me. I bet that.

I bet that bug too a little bit, like I got comfortable, like, yeah, shit, that's all I gotta do. Get fifteen, sixteen, eight or six. I can do that in my sleep. And then you just stop not working. You still work because you want to be good, but you don't put in that extra. You see the people who putting the extra. You start seeing them take a little more step, Like you still at fifteen, you see Drew Holly, they go to eighteen, You still at sixteen?

How they at twenty.

You're like, okay, now you're trying to you took two years off, you behind, so yeah, you see it though, But then they maintained every body doing all that stuff to make them better players.

That's the reason they still playing.

That's interesting And I got to ask you this, did you you was aware of who your draft flass was and probably people who wasn't your like when you was getting side like free agency, kicking around who gonna be available? Were you available? Did you like kind of keep up on their stats? I know you mentioned with Drew and stuff, but did you ever kind of pay attention to that?

Noah, I only did that one time.

That's when me and Drew how they was gonna be free agent the same time, and I knew that me and him was gonna get paid for the Pacers and he's gonna get paid for the Pelicans. But like I think y'all know the story how I felt through because Paul Georgie left for whatever. Yeah, that's the only time I ever really paid attention. I ain't really care. I ain't never really checked for nobody else's pockets because money don't mean all that to me like that, I just wanted to always be comfortable, to take care of my my mom and dad.

I ain't really give a fuck about. But then when you see the numbers.

You'd be like, damn, I can get this, Oh, I could get that, Like he got one hundred and twenty thousand a day.

What the fuck I could get that? Yeah, I say, I know you.

You say you mind on money, and then most people do that.

But then when you start seeing what you signed for, somebody else get that that ESPN learn like he signed for what?

Yeah, he can't do that though. That's when you get yeah, you start worrying about what the next man got. He started ruining your blessings. Bro, I don't do that if you have too. Yeah, that's real.

Because I was looking at Paul George or talk about his situation with the Clippers. I got mixed feelings about it, and I understand why he feels the way about it as well.

But I think some of that towards the end of it was you can't.

Really be worried about what everybody else getting because you just got worried about what you got going on, and sometimes that could ruin the situation and basically off responses a kind of how you talk.

It seemed like Philly was a last option that he.

Wanted to be at this offseason, which is kind of interesting to go into the season with that.

Like, I mean, they got a whip. Now they're gonna be good for sure.

But it's kind of interesting to see how he felt about the contract negotiation with the Clippers, how that panned out, And then you look at the time periods a lot of different stuff. It's like, Okay, you didn't really get along with the Clippers in the situation. And then at the time that you're saying y'all didn't have no communication as far as contract wise, it is when y'all went in the bad slump and he was just like, let me get out of my feelings, like, let me just get back to ball.

But then we look in at the off season.

Now I was like, all right, it looked like Philly was your last option slash resort in the situation. You saying that made it all make sense, Like yeah, when you kind of look at those situations the contract wise, it could fuck your game up and fucking mental.

Look, yeah, you start worrying about when I'm gonna get paid, who got paid, when I'm gonna get this.

I ain't gonna lie, bro, I swear my contract. Y'all broke out in hives.

Bro.

I went to the trainer like something wrong, got ship all.

I'm like what the funk? I ain't got a bad batch, you know what I mean? Something.

I was like, what's going on?

And he like, oh, these are hogs. He's like, here, you gotta take some benda drill, like you got a lert reaction to something.

So I'm like, damn, what I eat?

You know what I mean?

I'm looking like it's like you eat feel like did you eat sea food?

You eat something you don't normally eat. There they did all these they do all these tests on you in the NBA. You know what I'm saying.

They take you to all these tests on He came back, He's like, now you just got a hives.

He's like, are you stressing?

Oh?

I was going through the wringer. I shot twenty eight percent tonight. Goddamn, I gotta be at thirty eight forty get this.

Money, Like I was doing all that ship. I was going crazy.

Man.

I was so happy when I signed that.

Dude.

I never worried again after that.

But that first time, that was the first tracking that thirty two, because you know, I was like, I was nervous as the hell. You know, they tell you only got forty like the average lifespan of NBA player, The average is four years. Yeah, I'm in year four. I'm like, shit, if I don't get this deal, Like shit, i ain't gonna I don't know where I'm going to go overseas. I'm thinking all this shit overseved too. You're not realizing you're starting in the NBA. You're gonna get a deal.

But you're like, damn, I just want to make sure that I was just stressing.

You broke out of highs. I didn't know that one. Yeah, I was stressing, crazy, crazy bro. Hell yeah you had some big nigga.

Yeah, I'm talking about every game you're looking at ship like, imagine that, bro, your life on you feel like your life on the line every time you play. You like, nigga, I ain't shooting three all type of shit, bro, trying to say the MG man, what I was doing.

All type of shit that just wasn't even like part of.

The game, Like like half court shots, No, sir, would never shoot that. You're not painting picture, Nope, I throwing somebody else dribble the clock out like I couldn't get them while one man, everything was about stats and numbers, and then you got people telling you you know, what I mean instead of.

Like this, Yeah, people like yo, just hoop, just hoop, like just kill, You're gonna have fun.

They life, you gotta shoot over. You gotta be forty five percent in the field and get closer to that three. Man, I don't think you can shoot it get to like thirty five thirty six. So when you get there, you're like, shit, I ain't shooting no more threes. And you're like, man, I'm not here playing bad because I'm worried about this.

And that's wheuse I'll never forget Dramard trying to try and make front of my heart lists for stepping in off the three point line, taking them a long to He's like, you're scared.

To shoot three? He said, nigg I got a contract bonus.

Fuck with you talking about secure.

I'm not shooting three for the next three month.

Bro. That should be in your head. That's why.

That's why I don't bet, like I don't gamble.

But when we do, we use DraftKings. But when we do, we use DraftKings. But I don't because I know I've been one of those dudes.

So theyill told me about that paper. They read that paper and see them numbers that ship spooky, bro.

But if I was a betting man, I would win a lot of money because I was just looking to see what a contract year m hmm.

And I'll be like, oh, I know he about to do. I can win money.

Now that's smart because the average better don't know shit about that.

They gotta do it's fun to do in a contract year. They gonna play that best basketball that fucking year. Oh yeah, you know. The king of that ship was Tyson Chandler. Oh my god. He would go missing for about two years he heard heard from what type of shit that contract year?

Shoot? Somebody serious for sure go there except last year. Sure his grandfather didn't know it. No matter what he do, it's twenty five year.

No, I believe that hardly, even like role players like Motherfucker's even like Fred van Fleet boy master that I said, Fred reading that paper just shall put me on you know what I mean? Bro talk about hoop all the time. But Cheryl were like, Bro, that ship nigga's about to get the bag.

Bro.

So bro look at CACP.

Brokso way anytime it's content, CACP got super saying.

Bro, you look at your affect the field goal percentage.

You look at how your usage rate compared to other people that got twenty million a year or whatever, and you try to measure up to them when they go to them analytics and that ship match up.

Well, yeah he's worth twenty million. It's like, yeah, so what soonce we educate people on that, like what's the is it something that's more important than the next or what if you off by do you know what I mean off a certain percentage?

No, I mean field goal percentage, three point percentage, defensive rate and all that stuff play apart.

When you doing analytics, right.

You offensively killing, but a nigga give you thirty a night.

That's gonna suck up with your Yeah, but the wind shares, now they look at your defensive winds shares and like that. But if you like a KCP and you look at his defense percentage, his like field goal percentage where he take his shots from, and he like he a high three point shooter, most of his shots are three point shooters, but he's a really good on the ball defender.

He got good defensive ratings, got you.

So it's like, oh, he's going to affect the game this way defensively. And then he's going to do what we need. We need three point shooting. Okay, then they compared to somebody else that did that, maybe a year before or in that current situation, maybe like, yeah, he's worth twenty five million. Next thing, you know, you're getting twenty five million. I did not know that, because if I did, I would have played defense so different.

That's what I wanted to ask you about that. If it played like a part, you still.

That part of Yeah, I just didn't like I used to get scored on a high, high rate, That's what I'm saying.

But if I didn't know that, I would have closed out a little differently. You got to be smart like Kyrie and Luca. Now I get it.

Luca switched. I get it now.

It makes sense for sure. I always wanted to know. Me and Bro talk about it, but but I didn't know how they played the part. Like if I'm averaging twenty this year, but a nigga cooking be how many millions is that deducted?

I mean, it's all about it's also about the team, fool you love and like what the team feel about you and stuff that playing role too. It ain't like you just gonna get paid because you average these numbers. This guy's is off the bench to average sixteen, but it might not be in effect of sixteen.

It might be like, oh, you shoot seventeen shots a game.

Or whatever got you.

So you'd be like like a Kelly oubro, you will see it's stat summer one year he average like twenty for like Charlotte or somebody, and he went into free agency and nobody signed him, and everybody like, damn he average twenty. Though it's like in your head you be like, I average twenty. It's like, we do the numbers. This is a losing team. This is how I look to It don't matter.

And it's crazy, bro, because that then they're put that shit like you going shopping on Amazon.

Bro.

They put everything in filters and see what statistics fit for their team, and then from that ladder they go through and see, okay, this is the people. We have this criteria, all right, what's this charastry? Like what's his longevy? Like, what's his age? And they start going to the health and all that shit. It's crazy. Analytics have really changed the way people going through free agency and shit, all right, now.

I'll get it there. So that makes sense why.

Okay, See, well Houston paid James Harden like they did because based off.

His analytics, it was like for that team, yeah, he generated somebody.

Who you playing with, so if we put you by yourself.

And the plus minus was crazy too, because like he was coming off the bench quote unquote, so like his impact with that was so crazy. But I remember your episode with lou Will and they was just going off the stats and times and stuff like that, and it was like, if lou Will was a starter with the same stats with a little increased minutes, he'd have been a max like he had max deal production. But that was getting them on like a bench role player type salary, which is crazy. So, like you said that, how they placed you in those situations with them, analytics could change how much you get paid drastically.

And sometimes they played like little Will. Obviously he should have got played way more than whatever he was getting paid. Yeah, but it also affects like, all right, he's a two guard or whatever, can he guard this? Like that's why Drew Holliday is so affective and he get paid because he can feel like he can play multiple positions and he'd be like damn, like Derek white. They can go our multiple positions all this, that's why they get paid. As a defender and a guy that can score like now, you just a cold blooded score. You don't get appreciated the same way. A two way player is gonna get paid way more than that.

Hell yeah, because I always looked at another always keep a job. Back to BoA's hair is Aaron fo. Aaron follow was the king of contract. You're getting buckets and keeping fifteen twenty years and then fading off until it's time to get to get.

Paid double a. I wonder whatever happened to him?

I mean sure he playing the league probably thirteen fourteen years.

I know, I know he was on his way out when he swung on Belly. We had a game, Bro, He just fired off on Belly for no reason. Bro, Belly put him in the head lot.

Damn Ain't that who you got in trouble with.

I ain't y'all just slept him.

I love Belly too, that's my No. Wait, firstly, we got race, Bro, I don't.

Know swum on he missed Belly, but Belly like what and put him in a headlock.

He just put him on the headlock. But gonna lie belly crazy.

Bro, he crazy, I don't know, but yeah, there go right there.

He just fired on it, swung on belly had hiven a headlock.

D Smith Junior was talking about his first game winning in the league. It was against y'all. He did yeah, he had scored on d ros. He was just like I ain't trying to brand, but he was like, man, I got my first gub middle League gets one of my favorite players ever, and somebody taging that was like Jeff Tig has been a part of everything that's ever happened. Ina I was on the floorid this game with it y you wouldn't guarding though, By a shouts to Dennis Smith, junr Man, I don't remember it, but I'm sure we see it here, so yeah, that's hard, that's crazy. By a shout out to all the young boys getting paid. Cage just got his extension. Friends, Wagner got bag. Obviously he wanted them people that was coming. Yeah, for sure, for sure, I can't wait to see what p get he gonna probably get.

That's the same thing with brothers.

There you go, if Mowawgner is good and then you see his brother, it's a little different.

Damn sure.

Respectfully, for sure, I've never really seen two brothers and they both are like the same.

Yeah.

Did you look at Brook Robbins and Broke, Yeah, Steph and stuff.

It's like it's a different. Yeah, it's definitely. You know, anybody else who like brothers was like Michael a little different too, Drew and his brothers for sure. Oh yeah, definitely.

I think the closest that will be together is probably the Thompson twins.

They got one of them different though.

One of them is a pure going on defense. You know what I'm saying. How they looked at I think in the league it'll probably be the same. It'll be the same. They both gonna be hundred dollar players, Bro.

I wouldn't think so. One of them ain't gonna play that much. The one in Houston, Yeah, he got to.

Ain't if he leaves because he got all fensive bag. Bro.

But that boy that's with him. Cam, he liked that. Yeah, he liked that. I was so pissed on the Patris passed on him. Like I foke with Jared. I was just like, man, we could have got Cam. Like he liked that. He different, He want people. The Lakers did that.

They passed on because they did not play the draft pic last year at all, and Cam would have gotten Yeah.

He nice, man.

He gonna have me thinking about that.

Then the Twins to the Twins, Mores Wins, they probably close in comparison to Yeah, but Marcus, I.

Don't know, because I remember Keith was the best one at first, and then Marcus came got better.

That's that's the closer you get.

And damn there they're too close, like they're the same person, the same the same person.

That's the best one.

And keep it cute because they pull up wins they look I wish God, we don't need two hundreds out here.

The more wins, the closest in game. I'll probably say right now, market is better. Yeah, Keith was better at first when he was in Phoenix, and then I say Marcus as their career kept going, I think it was better.

But they're very close for sure.

All right.

I don't know if you've seen this. Angela Simmons went to the BT with the with the pistol person. She got a little flack of that. Have y'all seen her new photo shoot with Yes, yeah, she got oreos. Please look at the screen. She took a photo shoot us a little big Oh.
